Authors: Shrestha Chunu , Shrestha Sabina , Manoranjan Aparajita , Rajbhandari Reeta
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Transconjunctival micro incision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) with 23 or 25 gauge instrumentation is more advantageous than traditional 20 gauge surgery. We intended to evaluate the visual outcome, complications and indication of various vitreoretinal diseases using 27 Gauge vitrectomy systems.

Methods: This study was a prospective, interventional, non-comparative study conducted in Nepal Eye Hospital from June 2017 to July 2018. Fifty-two patients with various vitreoretinal diseases were recruited. The main outcome measures included corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) preoperative and postoperative, intraocular pressure (IOP) preoperative and postoperative, indication for vitreoretinal surgery, intraoperative complications, and postoperative complications.

Results: Fifty two eyes of 52 patients (26 men and 26 women; mean age, 59 years) underwent 27-gauge pars planavitrectomy. Surgical indications included epiretinal membrane (n = 11), full-thickness macular hole (n = 11), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment [n = 14 (12 vitrectomy only and two vitrectomy with scleral buckle)], vitreous haemorrhage (n = 3), vitreous opacities (n = 3), silicon oil removal (n = 3), proliferative diabetic retinopathy [n = 6 (5 vitreous haemorrhage and one tractional retinal detachment)], posterior IOL dislocation (n = 1). Postoperative complications included transient ocular hypertension in eight eyes (15.39%), transient hypotony in five eyes (9.62%) and vitreous haemorrhage in five eyes (9.62%). No cases of postoperative endophthalmitis, sclerotomy - related tears, or choroidal detachments were encountered in the follow-up period. Mean corrected distance visual acuity improved from 20 / 796 (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, 1.60 ± 0.64) preoperatively to 20 / 49 (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, 0.42 ± 0.26) postoperatively (p = 0.000,) at final follow up.

Conclusions: 27-gauge micro-incision vitrectomy surgery was found to be a safe and effective suture-less surgery with favourable outcomes, in terms of vision.

Authors: Sharma Manoj , Kaundinnyayana Sammodavardhana , Das Premlata
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Antibiotic resistance has been described by World Health Organisation as a major global health problem that threats our ability to treat common infectious diseases and needs urgent action.  Among many other factors, knowledge and behaviour of community members that lead to inappropriate use of antibiotic highly contributes to development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. Hence this study has been undertaken with the aim to assess the knowledge and attitude related to antibiotic use among high school students. 

Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire based survey was conducted at a Kathmandu based high-school. The data were collected via self-administered questionnaire after verbal consent for voluntary participation. There were nine questions related to knowledge and five questions related to attitude. Data were aggregated to compile frequency distribution tables and the percentages of responses were calculated.

Result: A total of 232 students participated in the study. In the questions related to knowledge, nearly 62% of the students agreed to the statement “Antibiotics are needed to cure most coughs and cold”. About 19% students were not sure whether antibiotics can kill the useful bacteria in our body. In the attitude part, 53.87% students responded that they stop taking antibiotics when they start to feel better and 59.91% students responded that they buy antibiotics on their own from a pharmacist when needed.

Conclusions: The deficiencies in basic understanding about the nature and use of antibiotics and casual attitude in their use among high school students is a matter of great concern as it poses many serious problems including promotion of antibiotic resistance

Authors: Basukala Sunil , Yadav Punit , Chatterjee Arinidam , Ranyal Rakesh kumar , Baidya Manish
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Catheter Acquired Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) is one of the most common Health Care Acquired Infections (HCAI); most of these infections are attributable to use of an indwelling urethral catheter. The aim of this study was to investigate patients with catheter-associated urinary tract infection over three years at a single hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and to identify meaningful risk factors and causative organisms. 

Methods: A retrograde analysis was performed on patients with indwelling catheters in ICU of Armed Forces Medical College, Pune, India. CAUTI was defined as isolated bacterial growth of 100,000 colony-forming units or more either 48 hours after transfer to the ICU if a urinary catheter was placed before the transfer or 48 hours after insertion if the catheter was inserted in the ICU. Only the patients whose culture results were negative before ICU admission were included.

Result: Among 350 samples collected in medical and surgical ICU, 38 patients (10.85%) had CAUTI. Using multivariate logistic regression analysis, the study showed that those with diabetes were 4.51 (p＜0.001) times likely to have occurrences of CAUTI than those without and also showed an increased incidence of CAUTI > 1.19 fold (p＜0.01) among patient with longer duration of an indwelling catheter.

Conclusions: CAUTI is a preventable HCAI and thus the risk factors and causative organisms contributing to its development in the management of ICU patients must be considered to prevent the occurrence of UTIs in this setting.

Stemona tuberosa Lour. a precious medicinal plant that belongs to the Stemonaceae family, has high applicability to human life. Extracts from leaves or roots of this herb contain many bioactive compounds with great value for both medical application and economy. However, there is not enough data related to evaluation and classification for Stemona species in Vietnam. Therefore, in this study, the authors used the DNA barcoding method to evaluate at the molecular level for four samples of Stemona tuberosa Lour. in northern Vietnam compared with other reference sequences from other species in the Stemonaceae family from GenBank based on two chloroplast barcodes rbcL and trnL. The primary results of genetics distance analysis and phylogenetic trees showed the close relationship between the four studied samples with Stemona tuberosa Lour. (sequenced from GenBank). The trnL with 1100 bp in length also proves the better classification ability of Stemona than the rbcLregion with 600 bp in length. These outcomes would be the first promising step for further studies about Stemona and other herbs, thus contributing to both scientific research and practical applicability demands as classification and conservation.

The study’s results on a total of 380 fresh samples of raw meat (pork, beef, chicken) randomly collected at conventional markets of districts in Ho Chi Minh city showed that the prevalence of Salmonella spp. is 42.37%. The prevalence of Salmonella in pork, chicken, and beef were 50.00%, 49.62%, and 26.83%, respectively. The proportion of Salmonella strains that resisted at least 1 antibiotic was 37.89%, from 2 to 5 antibiotics was 22.98%, and from 6 to 11 antibiotics occupied 8.70%, mainly for β-lactams, Tetracyclin, Chloramphenicol, Streptomycin, and Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim antibiotics. In particular, up to 83.72% of the Salmonellastrains carry antibiotic resistance genes (mainly isolated from pork). In antibiotic-resistant Salmonella strains, the sul1, cmlA, tetA, sul2, cmlB genes were detected with the rates of 27.90, 23.26, 21.74, 9.30, and 5.59%, respectively. Salmonella strains carrying genes encoding ESBL in the TEM group were 58.14% and 9.30% in the CTX group. This data provided more direct evidence of Salmonellacontamination in food and the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains in Ho Chi Minh city. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish programs to monitor and control Salmonella and the use of antibiotics in Vietnam to protect the health of consumers.

Authors: Hadjizadeh Afra , Alavi Minoo , Tajvar Samira , Hadjizadeh Afra
Published: September 2021

The emergence of recent viral outbreaks, especially the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting global
mortality and damage has created an urgent need to accelerate the identification, prevention, and treatment
of these viral diseases. Due to the limitations in the use of humans, and animal models in terms of time,
costs, metabolism differences and ethical issues, in vitro models have become essential in virology research.
In the present review, we collected the application of several used cell culture models in studies on four
pathogenic viruses - severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), influenza A virus
(H1N1), middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). These models included, 2D and 3D cell culture (organoids, microfluidic-chips, and bioprinted
models). A collection of existing research on these viruses can help fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus
and speed it up against future emerging viruses. Moreover, it can show the shortcomings of in vitro models
in virology studies that have been performed to date and provide researchers with new ideas for developing
models that are more efficient to deal with similar viral outbreaks.

Organic antioxidant dynamics in Hydrangea macrophylla Ser. leaves in humid subtropics of Russia
Authors: Malyarovskaya V. I. , Bekhterev V. N. , Belous O. G.
Published: September 2021

Subtropical ornamental crops have been cultivated and studied in the humid subtropics of Russia for over a century. Nevertheless, a comprehensive evidence on their adaptation and stress is rather scarce for the region. The climatic conditions in Russian humid subtropics may occur extreme to introduced plants, which warrants research into their adaptive reactions to soil aridity and summer temperatures over +30 C°. Given the situation, understanding the mechanisms of main stressor-adaptive responses is relevant in ornamental crops, including Hydrangea macrophylla Ser. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry  was  employed  to study ethanol leaf extracts in various-hardiness Hydrangea macrophylla Ser. cultivars, relatively hardy (Draps Wonder, Admiration, Altona), medium-hardy  (Souer Theresa) and susceptible (Harlequin, Madame Faustin) forms. Eleven endogenous organic compounds have been identified, of most interest being antioxidants and stress-protectants, including diarylethylene aromatic hydrocarbons (2,4’-dihydroxystilbene), squalene and phytosterines (y/p-sitosterol). The organic leaf content changed in response to hydrothermal stress in H. macrophylla, with a maximal concentration (2,4’-dihydroxystilbene 14.0, sitosterol 5.7 %) observed in favourable hydrothermal conditions of April, and minimal —  in the first August decade (8.5 and 1.7 %, respectively). Meanwhile, the relatively hardy Draps Wonder, Admiration and Altona varieties possessed the highest organic content of 2,4’-dihydroxystilbene (18.4,  21.5,  21.6 %) and y/p-sitosterol (5.7,  7.5,  6.0 %) both in optimal and stressing times. The lowest synthesis in the periods was observed in the unstable H. macrophylla varieties, Madame Faustin (6.9 and  1.1 %) and Harlequin (7.6 and  1.4 %).
Cold hardiness in grapevines of various ecological and geographical origin
Authors: Nenko N. I. , Kiseleva G. K. , Ilyina I. A. , Petrov V. S. , Zaporozhets N. M. , Sokolova V. V.
Published: September 2021

Over past years,  grapevine  adaptability has become of primary concern due to sharp cold-stressing weather of the unstable climates of Southern Russia accompanied by increasing mean annual temperatures, including higher degrees during plant winter dormancy. This situation causes considerable injury to the generative and vegetative organs in bush vine. Physiological and biochemical studies of the vine plant are of great importance for breeding cold-hardy grape genotypes. The article presents research related to studying cold hardiness in different grape varieties by content dynamics of starch, soluble sugars, abscisic acid and potassium ions in plant bark and buds. We studied grape varieties (interspecies  hybrids) of the European-American (Dostoinyi, Krasnostop, Vostorg), West-European (Aligote), East-European (Zarif) and European-Amur-American origins (Kristall). The work aimed to analyse the physiological and biochemical properties of various ecological and geographical-origin grapes  in winter time in order to identify the cold-hardiest genotypes. The Krasnostop and Vostorg varieties were ascertained as cold-hardy. Physiological and biochemical assays revealed an important contribution of water-soluble sugar-producing starch hydrolysis to low-temperature adaptation in Krasnostop and Vostorg, with the sugar content increasing 2.7-2.9 times. Krasnostop and Zarif were found to elevate the sucrose osmoprotectant winter level 4.7 and 6.6 times, respectively. All grape varieties decreased the abscisic acid content due to protective functions. Aligote was identified susceptible basing on a 2.3-fold potassium ion increase in frozen bark cell extract. The research conducted establishes the diagnostic value of the abovementioned physiological and biochemical parameters for cold hardiness evaluation in grape varieties.

Chemical thinning of apple ovaries in intensive orchards is highly relevant. This farming practice reduces manual labour, decreases  the  fructification  interval and improves apple quality. Growth regulators, including alpha-aphthylacetic acid,  also  reduce preharvest fruit drop allowing for an optimal harvest capacity. The research aimed to study the impact of different alpha-naphthylacetic acid application rates on ovary thinning  and preharvest  fruit drop. Assays were conducted in 2019—2020  in a  leached-chernozem experimental apple orchard of the Michurin Federal Research Centre  in Tambov Region. Assay 1 studied the treatment impact on apple tree thinning at rates 100, 200, 300 and 400 ml/ha in 8—12 mm fruits, assay 2 (treatment 2 weeks prior to expected harvest) —  on reducing preharvest apple drop at rates 200, 300 and 400 ml/ha. The treatments significantly reduced the number of ovaries in the Zhigulevskoe/62-396 cultivar and increased mean apple fruit weight. Such increase was an important yield-rising factor in the 300 and 400 ml/ha treatments. Alpha-naphthylacetic acid treatments in 8—12 mm fruits had a significant lowering impact on total leaf nitrogen content. The treatments also induced a significant reduction in preharvest apple fruit drop, with the best effect at rate 300 ml/ha. No explicit impact of alpha-naphthylacetic acid on fructification interval was observed in the study period.

BACKGROUND

Subarachnoid neurocysticercosis (NCC) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Conventional transcranial approaches and transventricular endoscopy have been previously reported for extraparenchymal NCC and ventricular NCC, respectively. By October 2019, endonasal endoscopic approaches had not been used for the treatment of NCC.

OBSERVATIONS

A 54-year-old-woman with NCC was admitted with acute neurological deterioration due to severe intracranial hypertension caused by massive subarachnoid NCC cysts, as evidenced on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with great brainstem compression. The case was discussed, and an endoscopic endonasal resection of the NCC cysts was scheduled. The diagnosis was confirmed by pathological anatomy. There were no complications in the surgery, with marked neurological improvement. Control MRIs demonstrated a significant reduction of NCC cysts.

LESSONS

Minimally invasive approaches are an excellent alternative for skull-base tumoral and infectious pathology. Prior knowledge of the pathophysiology and the authors’ experience in the management of patients with NCC allowed them to propose this approach, with optimal results.
Thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum causing acute myelopathy in a patient with cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament: illustrative case
Authors: Shah Kishan S. , Uchiyama Christopher M.
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) has been well characterized as a distinct entity but also in tandem with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in noncontiguous spinal regions. The majority of OLF cases are reported from East Asian countries where prevalent, but such cases are rarely reported in the North American population.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors present a case of a Thai-Cambodian American who presented with symptomatic thoracic OLF in tandem with asymptomatic cervical OPLL. A “floating” thoracic laminectomy, resection of OLF, and partial dural ossification (DO) resection with circumferential release of ossified dura were performed. Radiographic dural reexpansion and spinal cord decompression occurred despite the immediate intraoperative appearance of persistent thecal sac compression from retained DO.

LESSONS

Entire spinal axis imaging should be considered for patients with spinal ligamentous ossification disease, particularly in those of East Asian backgrounds. A floating laminectomy is one of several surgical approaches for OLF, but no consensus approach has been clearly established. High surgical complication rates are associated with thoracic OLF, most commonly dural tears/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. DO commonly coexists with OLF, is recognizable on computed tomographic scans, and increases the risk of CSF leaks.

Engineering field is known for its driving innovation and technological advancements but the existence of Gender gap in the field of Engineering is not new and has been an interest of study for many scholars. The field has witnessed an enrolment ratio dominated primarily by one particular gender (males). In a developing country like India, the population is predominately young and this gap can create a huge difference. However, a noticeable gender gap is also witnessed amidst the students opting for medicine in India with the Enrolment ratio of females being higher. The large population in India creates a surging demand for admissions into reputed institutes, and these institutes are few in number, in order to make it an even ground for students to enter these institutes, National level examinations are conducted every year like the NEET and the JEE. These examinations determine student’s admission into IIT’s and other reputed institutes. The article analyses the statistical data from past five years of the National-level exams conducted for students interested to pursue medicine (NEET) and engineering (JEE). The mean difference from the following data was tabulated and represented graphical using SPSS. A significant gender gap was observed in enrolement of JEE and NEET, with a statistically difference of 456062.8 for JEE enrolement and 226706.80 NEET. The study also analyses the student enrolment data of Engineering and Medical Science courses in India from 2010- 16, which again indicate an existence of gender gap in Engineering and Medical Sciences Colleges in India. Further, the study encourages policies and research towards bridging this gap.
Equidad en el acceso a las áreas verdes urbanas en México: revisión de literatura
Authors: Ojeda-Revah Lina
Published: September 2021

Con una población fundamentalmente urbana, México enfrenta grandes retos en cuanto a la planeación y distribución equitativa de las áreas verdes urbanas, desde una perspectiva de los servicios ecosistémicos que éstas proveen. El objetivo de este trabajo es profundizar en el conocimiento y las causas que originan la inequidad en la distribución y provisión de las áreas verdes urbanas y los servicios ecosistémicos que proporcionan. Para ello, se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de literatura especializada, comprendiendo desde 1990 a la fecha. De 34 publicaciones seleccionadas, se codificaron y analizaron parámetros de provisión, accesibilidad, calidad, percepción y su relación con factores socioeconómicos, los problemas existentes y sus causas (método PRISMA). Los resultados muestran que existe inequidad en la provisión, acceso y calidad de las áreas verdes, que afecta principalmente a personas de escasos recursos y a ciertos grupos de población. Las causas de ello tienen un origen legal, administrativo y de incumplimiento de la ley, combinado con factores históricos y de formas de crecimiento urbano. El análisis revela que el uso de conceptos y metodologías diferentes producen variaciones en los resultados. Se demuestra la influencia que el concepto de área verde utilizado tiene en la determinación de los tipos de servicios ecosistémicos que éstas prestan, así como en el análisis de su distribución equitativa.
Appropriate Assembly Instruction Modes: Factors to Consider
Authors: Kuipers Nathanaël , Kolbeinsson Ari , Thorvald Peter
Published: September 2021

Presented is a literature study into the importance of how information in assembly instructions in manual assembly is presented, more specifically how various factors such as the complexity of the assembly itself, the mental and physical workload of the worker, as well as the experience and skill level of the worker affect the requirements for information presentation. The requirements made by Industry 4.0 on flexibility in production lines and an increased number of variants produced causes increased demands on workers, which leads to more cognitive demands being made on assembly workers. Studies exist around assembly instruction modes, but have in many cases ignored factors such as worker skill level, mental workload, and task complexity and how these affect the requirements for information presentation, which is a major contribution of this study. The findings are that no single solution fits all requirements, but that the aforementioned factors should be taken into account.

Collision-Free Path Planning for Efficient Inspection of Free-Form Surface by Using a Trigger Probe
Authors: Zhao Zhengcai , Li Yao , Fu Yucan , Ding Dawei
Published: September 2021

Measurement path planning plays an essential role in on-machine measurement, which is often required to be time-saving and collision-free. This paper proposes a novel path planning methodology and develops an automatic collision avoidance strategy for measurement. Measurement points are generated by Contour section sampling (CSS), Grid mesh sampling (GMS), and Locally dense sampling (LDS) on the free-form surface. Afterwards, a shortest path algorithm (SPA) and a non-interference path algorithm (NIPA) are developed respectively. The simulations show that the proposed method can reduce the total inspection distance to nearly 7.82% than the original one. The presented path planning method can measure the surface of large aerospace parts directly by using a trigger probe.
Design & Development of a Variable Height, Removable Watersports Pylon
Authors: Rehman Fayyaz , McCallum Charlie
Published: September 2021

It is the goal of the project to produce a watersports pylon that provides a greater variation in height than has been previously available on the market to meet the needs of both wakeboarders and water-skiers. The secondary goal is to provide a means of operation that does not require permanent fixing to a vessel’s deck/structure. Based on thorough market research, there are options available for invasive pylons that require altering the deck/structure of the vessel, or temporary pylons that can be assembled but do not provide any variation in height. By utilising this gap in the market, it is the desire of the project to produce a product that builds on the existing strengths of similar products without their drawbacks, whilst still being a cost-effective solution. This project has focused on design of the pylon through all stages of the development process, from market research and product requirements based on customer needs, to design and product development. By developing and understanding the chosen designs using an analytical hierarchy process, the most appropriate option has been determined. The project then developed said design, initially understanding the loads and stresses acting up the pylon, as well as the material requirements. Using these calculations to generate a refined search via appropriate material selection software, the most appropriate material was identified. The design was then subject to critical structural analysis and optimisation, to ensure the product can be developed to meet the requirements established at the beginning of the project. It was hoped to test a prototype pylon, however the COVID restrictions prevented this. This paper details the processes of the project and the results produced, which was then critically reviewed to ensure that the pylon meets the initial aims set out at the start of the project.
