burden of catheter associated urinary tract infection by candida Albicans and non Albicans with emphasis on biofilm formation and antifungal sensitivity pattern
Authors: Singh Yogendra , Karicheri Ramanath , Nath Dvijendra
Published: April 2022

Candida spp. is generally found in humans; however, when the host's immune system is compromised, the pathogen infects the host, earning it the name opportunistic pathogen. It can also be found on the surfaces of biomaterials such as catheters, Venflon, intravenous tubes, dentures, and blood bags in a medical setting. It infects people who have been admitted to the hospital. This causes major health problems for the patients and raises morbidity and mortality rates over time. Those who take antifungal medications for this infection on a regular basis acquire resistant to the drugs. Candida albicans and non-Candida albicans were found to predominate in distinct clinical samples in this investigation. The goal of this cross-sectional study, which took place at the Index Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Indore, was to determine the burden of catheter associated urinary tract infection by candida albicans and non albicans with emphasis on biofilm formation. CAUTI is a prevalent complication in critically ill individuals. In order to reduce the incidence of catheter-related UTI, the focus should be on appropriate catheter maintenance and lowering catheterization length rather than prophylactic. In the treatment of CAUTI, culture and susceptibility testing are crucial.

Authors: Hapsari Siti Nurul , Tambunan Betty Agustina , Hajat Arifoel
Published: April 2022

Thrombocyte concentrate (TC) transfusion plays an important role in preventing bleeding in patients with severe thrombocytopenia. Febrile non hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) may occur after TC administration. IL-1ß and TNF-α cytokines released by thrombocytes and leucocytes during TC storage play important roles in the occurrence of FNHTR after TC transfusion. The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in levels of  IL-1ß and TNF-α on the duration of TC storage. This was an observational analytical research with time series design carried out at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory and Blood Bank of the Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya in September - October 2019. IL-1ß and TNF -α levels in 20 bags of Thrombocyte Concentrate blood components derived from Platelet Rich Plasma during storage for day 1, day 3 and day 5 were measured using ELISA Sandwich method. The statistical analysis was performed using the Subject Same Variant Test or Friedman Test. The results showed no significant differences in the levels of IL-1ß and TNF-α based on the storage duration of TCs on day 1, 3 and 5, p = 0.262 and p = 0.534 respectively. There was a significant difference of IL-1ß levels between day 1 and day 3 (p=0.032).

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Cervical vertebrae owing to their small size and complex anatomy pose a serious challenge for instrumentation during surgery and increase the risk of injury to the adjacent neurovascular structures.  The aim of the study is to evaluate the linear measurements of the body, pedicle and foramen transversarium of C1 to C7 vertebrae and to correlate the data clinically. Methods: 138 vertebrae of unknown sex and age were classified into individual cervical vertebrae and the linear dimensions of vertebral body, pedicle and foramen transversarium were measured using digital vernier caliper. Shape of foramen transversarium and presence of accessory foramen were noted. Descriptive statistics and t test were performed to assess the difference between the sides. Results: The transverse length and height of the vertebral body and width of the pedicle were increasing from C3 to C7 vertebrae. Pedicle width of C2 to C6 vertebrae was less than 5.0 mm. Medio-lateral diameter of foramen transversarium increased from C6 to C4 and then decreased from C4 to C1. Unilateral accessory foramen transversarium were observed frequently in C5 vertebra and more commonly on right side.

Published: April 2022

Because chitosan is biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, and mucoadhesive, it is commonly used in the formulation of nasal drug delivery nanoparticles employing polyelectrolyte complexes. However, chitosan's lower solubility in aqueous and alkaline conditions limits its use in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. This needs the development of improved chemically altered chitosan mimics that can overcome the solubility barrier. Although Levodopa is an alternative in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, it has a low oral bioavailability and very low brain absorption due to its extensive degradation by aromatic amino acid decarboxylase in the peripheral circulation. As a result, levodopa and carbidopa, a peripheral amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor, are given together. The nose to brain medication delivery of levodopa desolate via the olfactory pathway and the trigeminal neurons has been investigated in an effort to improve brain uptake and avoid degradation of levodopa in peripheral circulation and the use of carbidopa in combination. Ionic interactions mediate charged functional groups of former polysaccharides at dissimilar pH situations (pH 5, 8, 10, and 12) and identify polyelectrolyte complexes based on chitosan and pectin during physicochemical (particle size and zeta potential) and solid-state characterizations.

Authors: Mohammed Ali Hassan , Battor Ali Hussein , Kuffi Emad Abbas
Published: April 2022

Our aim in this paper is to introduce new integral transform which we will call it “Battor – AlTememe” transform. This transform is useful for solving many types of differential equations (ordinary and partial) and we will introduce some definitions, concepts and identities. Integral transform is used to solve differential and integral equations. In 2008 [2], the researcher introduced AlTememe transform, which is given by the integral T(f(x))=∫_1^∞▒x^(-p)  f(x)dx=F(p), For a function f(x) which is defined on an interval (1, ∞), x^(-p) is the kernel of this transform and p is positive constant such that the above integral is converge.

HBsAg Seroprevalance and Affecting Factors in Patients Attending Emergency Department
Authors: Demirag Serpil
Published: April 2022

Aim: To determine the seroprevalence of HBsAg in the emergency unit while determining risk for transmission and associated socidemographics. Method: In this study, we accessed the records of 693 patients with various complaints, who had their HBsAg checked in the emergency department, retrospectively. Binominal logistic regression and chi-square test was used for data analysis to determine predictors of HBsAg seropositivity. Results: Of the total 693 patients, 57.3% (n=397) of the patients were male and the mean age was 53.8±21.6 (4-99). 58.6% (n=405) of the patients lived in the urban area while 95.5% (n=662) had health insurance. 41.1% (n=288) of the admitted patients had at least one chronic disease. The HBsAg seroprevalence of those included in the study was 3.3%. The highest prevalence of HBsAg seropositivity was recorded in the 41-60 age group with a rate of 5.2%. Anti-HBs seroprevalence was 44.6% (n=311), Anti-HCV seroprevalence was 0.6% (n=4) and Anti-HIV was 0.3% (n=3). Lower Anti-HBs was found as a significant risk factor for Hepatitis B infection (p=0.003), patients who had non-protective Anti-HBs levels were at tenfold risk of contracting Hepatitis B compared to their Anti-HBs positive counterparts. Conclusion: The prevalence of hepatitis B in our study was at an intermediate epidemic level. Testing at every opportunity even in the emergency service is a suitable strategy for the prevention and control of hepatitis B. The findings are similar to other available data in our region. We suggest that low Anti-HBs level is the most significant risk factor for HBsAg seropositivity. More expanded and comprehensive studies should be carried in the whole population.
A Mini-review on the Impact of PlateletRich Fibrin on the Thickness and Width of keratinized Mucosa
Authors: Moergel Maximilian
Published: April 2022

Objectives The present mini-review compares the effect of different forms of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) utilized for soft tissue management on width and depth of keratinized mucosa. Materials and methods The Pubmed database was screened in January 2022 to find randomized controlled clinical trials examining the effect on soft tissue thickness and width by plateled-rich fibrin (PRF). In the preliminary search the following keywords were used in combination with the keyword „PRF“: “AND mucosa”, “AND keratinized mucosa”, “AND socket preservation”, “ AND recession”,and “implants”. Results During the literature search on Pubmed, 39 papers were found. After the initial evaluation 17 full texts were read and analyzed, eight articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected for comparison and literature review. All of the studies showed that platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) resulted in a significant increase in keratinized tissue width (KTW) and gingival thickness (GT). Conclusion Platelet-rich fibrin offers a valuable tool for soft tissue optimization, for example, prior to implantation or for periodontal surgery. Especially in patients with anatomical limitations, they may offer an alternative to connective tissue grafts (CTG). However, the heterogeneity of study protocols is high, making direct correlations and especially millimeter comparisons difficult. The interested practitioner should therefore carefully check which PRF type was used. One should be aware that the different PRF types each represent a different blood product.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the development of human capital in industry and the involvement of information technology in improving company performance in Indonesia. This research is based on the theory of human capital and the influence of computer and information technology in influencing industries in various economic fields.This research was conducted in 2021 using a survey method using an online questionnaire that was sent to 125 IT companies in Indonesia, from 125 IT companies who were sent a questionnaire. There were 105 IT companies that participated in this research. For each company, we sent 10 questionnaires to 10 different people, so there were 1250 questionnaires sent to 125 companies and there were 677 respondents who answered the questions in this survey. The results of all the answers to this questionnaire were checked with each other and mutually triangulated with each other so as to give rise to a complete hypothesis because the purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze a hypothesis as a finding using descriptive qualitative methods. This study finds two important results in the development of studies of human and computer capital and information technology in business and economics. The first finding builds on the hypothesis that managers feel it is important to involve commuters and information technology in their companies and support other companies that are their corporate partners to use computers and information technology for more effective and efficient business operations and support their increased competitiveness. Regarding human capital, most of the directors have the same opinion which is triangulated from the manager's answer which leads to the need for training and development of human resources and the need to create a comfortable and healthy working environment for the purpose of competitiveness and increasing employee productivity. The second finding forms the hypothesis that employees feel more comfortable and at home working with the application of human resource development in their work environment.

Me shkatërrimin e Akademisë së Voskopojës, për t‘u shpëtuar përndjekjeve, shumë dijetarë gjetën strehë në manastirin e Gjon Vladimirit. Manastiri u kthye në qendër ku u bënë shumë përkthime, me anën e të cilave u kultivua gjuha shqipe1. Këtë fakt e vërtetojnë dorëshkrimet e shumta që janë gjetur në manastir. Duhet theksuar se Elbasani në atë kohë ka qenë rezidenca e Mitropolitit të Durrësit, prandaj manastiri i Gjon Vladimirit u kthye në vendin ku shkrimet shqipe gjetën vend të përshtatshëm, sepse aty kanë punuar dhe jetuar personalitete të fuqishme të kohës si Papa Totasi, Dhaskal Todri, Imzot Visarion Xhuvani etj. Për herë të parë, shërbesa e Gjon Vladimirit është botuar në Venecia në vitin 1690 me sponsorizimin e Joan Papës nga Elbasani. Hartuesi i madhërimeve të akoluthisë ka qenë Teodor Haxhifilipi, i cili e ka quajtur Gjon Vladimirin: “Mbrojtës të Elbasanit dhe të gjithë Ilirisë, i zgjedhur i Shqipërisë dhe lavdia e Ilirisë”. Në fund, te “Shërbesa e Shenjtit mbret të lavdëruar dhe martirit të madh dhe mrekullibërësit Gjon Vladimirit, Venecia, 1858”, Teodor Haxhifilipi ka shkruar 52 këngë epitafike, kushtuar shenjtit.

Authors: Raj Tilak , Chauhan Prashant , Mehrotra Rashmi , Sharma Meenakshi
Published: April 2022

The capacity to think clearly and reasonably about what to do or believe is known as critical thinking. It also requires the capacity to think critically and independently. Students engage in critical thinking when they investigate, appraise, interpret, or synthesize information and use creative thought to construct an argument, solve problems, or reach a conclusion in the most basic sense. One of the most fundamental purposes of educations is to produce well-informed students, which implies that students must be able to grasp significant, useful, beautiful, as well as powerful ideas. A critical thinker understands how to use knowledge to solve difficulties and classify acceptable sources of information to educate himself, and he can make conclusions from what he knows. This research looked at the role of critical thinking in educations, as well as the forms, stages, and importance of critical thinking. This research aids in a greater understanding of critical thinking in the educational system and how critical thinking may be used in the educational systems to benefit students.

Communications is the act of conveying information from one place, individual, or organisation to others. Any communications involves a transmitter, an information, and a receiver. Although this might seem to be a simple notion, communications is really a very complex subject. The message's path from source to destinations might be influenced by a multitude of circumstances. Our feelings, our cultural background, the communication channel we use, and even our physical location are all aspects to consider. This study discusses the overview of English communication skills, Types of English languages used worldwide, Different category of English communication skills, 7 C’s of effective English communication, importance of English communication and semantics barriers in English communication skills. To make engagement meaningful and to make oneself known, two-way communications inspire, informs, proposes, cautions, commands, changes behavior, and establishes better connections. When a communicator is knowledgeable enough to speak skillfully, simply, clearly, truthfully, and dynamically, communications become successful. This study will help the reader to understand the importance of English communication skills.

Published: April 2022

Technical assistance for the establishment of a distance learning environment for learning English is provided by the advancement of information technology and the educational information process. People are still getting used to online teaching methods, and it is becoming more widely accepted. E-learning and online education have advanced significantly in recent years. The teaching paradigm has moved from traditional classroom learning to dynamic web-based learning. As a result, instead of static information, learners have received dynamic learning material tailored to their abilities, requirements, and preferences. To improve the English learning material efficiency, this paper implements an online English learning system based on efficient learning material selection. The English learning materials are preprocessed using normalization. The dimensionality reduction of the data is done using the Kernel-based-Independent Component Analysis (K-ICA). Data classification is performed using the Hypothetical Naïve Bayes Algorithm (HNBA). The student performance like learning efficiency, interactive accuracy rate, and artistic skills are predicted using the linear k-Nearest Neighbors (L-KNN). The proposed system can be simulated by employing the MATLAB tool and the performance is compared with other conventional methodologies. The findings of this study reveal that the presented online learning method may significantly increase students' oral and written skills.

Authors: Arunprabu C. S. , Poornima S. , Kaviarasu K. , Maniam Mahendran
Published: April 2022

This paper explores the novel Lonely Marriages that revels the inner psyche of women who search for free-will, as it questions the cultural ego that procreate the gender discernment and prejudices that predominate the country constructed by the representations of ancient mythologies. Such prototypes have been replicated and expected to be followed and obeyed in the ways of life trailing to the dangers of abandonment if not abide by the rules it infers. The paper ventures the consciousness of the female characters who reciprocate the cultural ego, as the writer puts it, to describe the biases shaped against women.

Technology, as well as the educational system, has evolved fast in recent decades. Today's demand is for practical as well as modern-oriented mathematics education. In today's world, modern and realistic mathematics education is critical in every country. The value of technology-based mathematics education has increased, signifying a fundamental shift in how mathematics education is seen today. Mathematics education will be simplified if students can access a virtual math classroom over the internet. As a result of the development of computer media, educators, students, and scientists are presented with a challenge: Theoretical frameworks are used in innovation studies in the field of teaching mathematics, but this research focuses on what such theoretical perspectives have to offer. The author's mathematical team's main goal is to create exercises that will enable communication. In addition, they should use technology to improve and broaden their pupils' math skills. This article discusses the approach for generating and employing chemicals for such an objective.
Estimation of evapotranspiration from pan-evaporation values: A study over the maize field in Bangalore
Authors: GANESAN GS , AHOBALARAO HR
Published: April 2022

A formula to estimate the values of evapotranspiration (ET) from the available values of C pan-evaporation (Ep), for the maize crops (Deccan Hybrid variety) grown in Bangalore is given. The formula brings out the degree of dependance of the ratio ET/Ep on the area of the plants. The effect of increase of area of plants on the value ET/Ep is two-fold : (1) to increase the value of ET and thereby that of ET/Ep and (2) to modify the local meteorological conditions In such a way as to Inhibit evaporation processes compared with the  conditions in an open space and thereby reduce ET/Ep. The resulting value of ET/Ep is thus a compromise between these two factors. The necessary correction factors arising out of this compromise, appropriate to each  phenological stage are determined and incorporated in the formula presented.

Published: April 2022

This article investigates and exemplifies the personal side of our supervising skills. This is inspired from psychotherapeutic research specialized in investigating open-minded contact and authentic meetings. The article is based on our experiences supervising project groups at Roskilde University. Supervision is sometimes a challenging task that may manifest and confront personally-related issues. We advocate combining an academic and personal approach to supervising project groups. We provide a range of empirical examples from the supervising project groups, illustrating the type of personal challenges we meet. These challenges are characterized and conceptualized, and some concrete ways to deal with them are proposed.

Published: April 2022

Introduction:

Female representation in orthopaedics remains low compared with other specialties. Recently, several studies have examined the membership composition and leadership roles of women in orthopaedic societies. However, there is a paucity of information on the possible connection between the number of women within state and regional orthopaedic societies and women who serve in leadership roles within these societies.

Methods:

Authors invited executive directors of 51 state and four regional orthopaedic societies to participate in an anonymous 14-question web-based survey about female members and women in leadership positions within these societies. The survey asked about female membership composition, the percentage of male and female practicing orthopaedic surgeons in the state/region (if available), and female representation on the Board of Directors of these societies. Data were analyzed for relationships between ordinal variables.

Results:

Forty-nine executive directors (89.1%) responded to the survey. Among respondents, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the percentage of female members and women leaders (P = 0.015). Thirty-two executive directors (68.1%) reported between 1% and 10% female members, 7 (14.9%) had between 11% and 20% female members, and 2 (4.3%) had no female members. Twenty-five societies (52.1%) have never had a female president. Of 17 societies (32.7%) that had female presidents, 15 (75.0%) reported having just one female president. In addition, of these 17 societies, 12 (70.6%) reported having at least one acting female president within the past 10 years.

Discussion:

Our study demonstrates a positive correlation between female members and women on the Board of Directors in regional and state orthopaedic societies. Twelve societies had female presidents within the past 10 years. Female representation in leadership positions may help with the recruitment of female orthopaedic surgeons and improve diversity in orthopaedics. Future studies should evaluate different methods of increasing female membership and leadership positions in state and regional orthopaedic societies.
Meloxicam versus Celecoxib for Postoperative Analgesia after Total Knee Arthroplasty: Safety, Efficacy and Cost
Authors: Haffar Amer , Fillingham Yale A. , Breckenridge Leigham , Gursay D'Andrew , Lonner Jess H.
Published: April 2022

Introduction:

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used as part of multimodal analgesia in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors (e.g., celecoxib) are believed to have fewer gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects than nonselective NSAIDS. Meloxicam is less selective for COX-2 than celecoxib is and partially inhibits COX-1 at higher doses. Nonetheless, some surgeons prefer using nonselective NSAIDs because of their lower expense.

Methods:

Four thousand nine hundred ninety-four patients who underwent TKA between January 2015 and February 2020 and took either celecoxib (n = 3,174), meloxicam 15 mg/d (n = 1,819), or meloxicam 7.5 mg/d (n = 451) were studied. Mutlimodal postoperative analgesia protocols were otherwise similar. GI bleeding and wound complication incidence were determined, as well as average 30-day prescription costs.

Results:

GI bleeding incidence was similar in the three cohorts (P = 0.4). The incidence of wound complications did not significantly differ between the groups: 0.06%, 0.07%, and 0.22% in the celecoxib, meloxicam 15 mg/d, and meloxicam 7.5 mg/d groups, respectively (P = 0.06). Subsituting meloxicam for celecoxib results in an average savings of $183 per prescription.

Discussion:

Meloxicam used at higher doses (15 mg/d) does not markedly increase the risk of GI or wound complications associated with COX-1 inhibition and is less costly for multimodal analgesia after TKA.
Blaulichtfilter und deren Auswirkung auf den Pupillenlichtreflex
Authors: Freiherr von Künßberg René , Plischke Herbert , Eisenbarth Werner
Published: April 2022

Purpose. The increasing exposure to artificial blue light sources has spawned an equal interest in spectacle lenses that protect against this potentially harmful proportion of light. This study compared the performance of different blue light filtering spectacle lenses and investigated whether a reduction in blue light transmission affects light-dependent physiological processes. Material and Methods. The wavelength-specific transmission of various spectacle lenses was determined by spectrometer and the influence of the lenses on the PIPR (Post Illumination Pupil Response) was evaluated. Thirty-six eyes of 18 adults (20 - 30 years) were measured by monocular, direct chromatic pupillometry with and without blue light filtering lenses. The modified pupillometer (PupilX from Albomed GmbH) with red and blue stimulation was used with a pupil exposure time of 30 seconds (darkness: 1 s; light stimulus: 1 s; darkness: 28 s). Results. In the main action spectrum of the blue light hazard (400 nm ≤ λ ≤ 500 nm), the transparent blue light filter showed lower absorption compared to “comfort- and wellness” lenses of filter category 1 (absorption: 19.60 % to 25.27 % and 65.04 % to 97.43 %). In the early and late phase of the post illumination pupil reflex (PIPR) after a blue light stimulus, we detected a significantly smaller area under the curve (p < 0.001), a larger normalized pupil diameter (p < 0.001), and a larger curvature index in an exponential interpolation (p < 0.001) when the “comfort- and wellness-” lenses were used. Conclusion. Blue light filtering lenses have been shown to reduce the transmission of blue light and thus can minimize the risk of blue light exposure. By simultaneously reducing the stimulation of intrinsic photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), light-modulated physiological processes such as circadian regulation could be altered. The use of “comfortand wellness” lenses showed a significant change in the PIPR. An influence by transparent, blue-light filtering spectacle lenses could not be detected.
