Road traffic injuries are public health challenges with heavy economic and social burdens. Road traffic injuries are common in developing countries and occur disproportionately with adolescents. This study aimed to elicit beliefs about traffic behaviors based on the theory of planned behavior among male high school students in Hamadan, Iran. We used a constructivist-interpretive qualitative design with directional content analysis. Interviews were conducted with 19 adolescent males in Hamadan, Iran. Analysis revealed that theory of planned behavior fit well to explain how perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs influenced traffic behaviors. Perceived subjective norms in the forms of parental encouragement, traffic rules and policies, and media advertising influenced the pursuit of safe traffic behaviors. Control belief factors that impeded safe behaviors included aggressive and/or drunk driving and bad road conditions, distance to bridge crossings, and improper seat belt position. Our results provided a deeper understanding of attitudes, experiences, and intentions that precede adolescents’ traffic behaviors. Understanding precursors to behaviors is necessary for effective intervention. Further exploration of factors that lead youth to engage in unsafe behaviors despite education, knowledge, and presence of influential people that promote safe traffic behaviors is needed.
Ethnographic Case-Study Design for Discovering Identities in Russian Post-Industrial Neighbourhoods
Authors: Polukhina Elizaveta
Published: May 2022

In the 20th century of industrialization, case-study research design was related to organizations, however in the 21st century of deindustrialization the post-industrial neighborhoods could serves as an indicator of neo-liberal policies and as a reference space for identity studies. However, the instruments of these studies are still poorly described, which limits this type of research design and the comparative analysis of similar neighborhoods in the global context. This paper describes the methodology and insights from three ethnographic case-studies of neighbourhoods—a type of field research focused on detailed inquiry with multiple methods of data collection. This paper follows the Chicago School of Sociology (Park, 1967), understanding a neighbourhood as a field laboratory where social and transformational processes occur, and the social nature of these changes is exposed. The identities were elaborated by secondary data, different types of interviews, observations, and visual data. The paper demonstrates the importance of visual data and the contextualization of the groups studied in the space of the neighborhood, other residents, and changes in the material and social landscapes (the historical, material, and spatial contexts). Data from photographs and videos revealed the material context of transformation, exposing the rigidity of changes in the capital case, and the actualization of inequalities in the regional case. The analysis of the mental maps of the regional neighborhood demonstrates that the workers still perceived this area as an industrial place and the factory is still the core of the workers' identity. Thus, the visual materials expose the multiple layers of identities and new aspects of inequalities. The visual data formed the basis for a research exhibition and a film that shows the ambivalence of post-industrial processes and the multivoicedness of neighborhood residents to different publics.
Calling Out Street Harassment of Women and LGBTQ People: A Review of Kolysh’s Everyday Violence
Authors: Nowakowski Alexandra
Published: May 2022

Street harassment often impacts people whose identities and presentations of self-intersect with femininity in any way. Yet, despite this frequent unwelcome scrutiny of our bodies and selves, few scholars have turned their own appraising gazes on street harassment in kind. Fewer still have centered queer and trans people in their inquiry. In Everyday Violence: The Public Harassment of Women & LGBTQ People, Dr. Simone Kolysh (2021) critically investigates street harassment from intersectional queer and nonbinary feminist perspectives. Their research both amplifies voices from survivors of harassment and directly explores perspectives from perpetrators of harassment. Per Kolysh’s own reflections, this balance of information proved immensely difficult to strike. It also distinguishes Everyday Violence as uniquely impactful for understanding and responding to street harassment of feminine, queer, and trans people. Kolysh enhances these impacts by writing concisely and clearly about complex nuances of harassment. Their monograph expansively covers street harassment origins and dynamics while remaining immensely accessible for readers of diverse cultural backgrounds and educational stages.

RTI (Reproductive Tract Infection) is the vital cause of suffering in women and neonates. According to WHO estimation 340 million new cases of curable STI (Sexually Transmitted Disease) other than HIV/AIDS occurs every year, most of which are occurring in developing countries. Genital tract infection is the prime cause of most gynaecological disease. Vaginal candidiasis is the most common cause of Genital tract infection. It (Vaginal candidiasis) is a common condition and up to 75% of all women suffer at least one episode of this infection during their life time. For treating the pathological condition of genital tract, direct application or self application of medicine is very difficult and the residence time of the medicine is less due to self cleansing properties of vaginal canal. Application of the drug in other route may cause systemic adverse reaction. To overcome this arduous situation, in situ thermo-sensitive gel form has great importance. In this article an attempt have been made for the review of the thermo-sensitive vaginal gel and the scholar has gathered the basic knowledge to develop an Ayurvedic formulation Panchavalkal kashaya thermo-sensitive vaginal gel by this review.

Jalodara is one type of Udararoga. Udararoga is included among Ashtaumahagada by Acharya Charaka which denotes its critical prognosis. The accumulation of fluid in peritoneal cavity is termed as Ascities. Cirrhosis clinical manifestations presents as a much later which makes it difficult to trace in the initial stage. Nearly 30% to 40% of cases are only discovered during autopsy, indicating that in extensive proportion of people, the disease goes undetected during life. The Ayurvedic management of Jalodara mainly focuses upon correcting Agni, Sroto Shodhana and most important being the maintenance of through a strictly followed Pathyapathya. Classical texts suggest a general guidance of salt, water and fat restricted diet with milk as primary source of nutrition initial 3 months to 6 months of treatment. Choice of milk has been Camel milk which is explained in Charaka Samhita which acts both as Ahara and Aushadha. Here, an attempt is made to find out evidence based Pathyapathya (diet regimen) which is effective in the management of Jalodara/hepatic cirrhosis complicated by ascites. Previous studies and research papers are analyzed and also data from P. D. Patel Ayurveda Hospital is collected and inferred. The data reveals that diet comprising of Masur dal soup, Ksheeravritti (milk diet) followed by Camel milk or Cow milk, along the lines of Ayurvedic principles will yield good result.

Published: May 2022

Dry matter (DM) accumulation and its relationship to some indicators of physiological efficiency on white clover (Trifolium repens L.) growth was studied to determine the optimal harvesting time by season. The experiment was carried out at the Colegio the Postgraduados Campus Montecillo, Texcoco, Mexico. Twenty-four plots, each measuring 3.7 X 1.7 m, were used, and distributed in a completely randomized design with eight treatments and three replicates. The treatments consisted of weekly successive cuts during an eight-week sprouting cycle during the middle of each season of the year. The evaluated variables were dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate (CGR), intercepted radiation (IR), and plant height (cm) estimated through the ruler and rising plate meter methods. Most herbage accumulation (p ≤ 0.05) occurred at the eighth week of the spring (2,688 kg DM ha-1). Most CGR (p ≤ 0.05) occurred at the first week of the summer (84 kg DM ha-1 day-1). The largest IR occurred at the sixth and ninth week of the summer (100 %). Maximum height occurred at week eight of the summer (p ≤ 0.05), which was 32 and 23.3 cm for the ruler and the rising plate meter methods, respectively. Dry matter yield increased linearly due to the favorable climatic conditions during spring-summer, where there was a higher intercepted radiation and higher crop growth. The ruler method showed a higher coefficient compared to the ascending plate, so the ruler method for white clover can be recommended.
Postoperative cerebro spinal fluid diversion in patients with third ventricular colloid cysts
Authors: Ahmer Nasir Baig  , Syeda Kubra Kishwar Jafri  , Muhammad Shahzad Shamim
Published: May 2022

Colloid cysts are a group of CNS neoplasms that usually present with features of CSF flow obstruction. The treatment is by microsurgical, endoscopic or stereotactic techniques. Hydrocephalus usually resolves postoperatively, but in around 3-7% of cases symptoms persist and ultimately require CSF diversion. Several factors such as operative approach, cyst size, operative time, intraoperative bleeding may influence the need for CSF diversion but most of these are yet to be statistically proven. Existing literature is mainly focused on incidence of CSF diversion after resection of colloid cyst rather than the factors which may predict its necessity and extensive research is required to accurately determine these factors.

Diagnosis, management strategies and research horizons in sarcopenia
Authors: Sarah Razaq  , Murat Kara  , Levent Özcakar  , Farooq Azam Rathore
Published: May 2022

Sarcopenia was first described by Rosenberg as the agerelated loss of skeletal muscle mass. The early operational definitions of sarcopenia were based on low muscle mass alone. However, research has suggested a strong predictive relationship between measures of muscle quality i.e., strength and/or physical performance, and health outcomes. Therefore, the definition has been revised to "age-related loss of muscle mass and muscle function". The etiology of sarcopenia is multifactorial and diagnostic recommendations published to date have addressed the total or appendicular muscle mass. Measurement of anterior thigh muscle mass has better correlations with functional tests and all-cause mortality when compared with appendicular or total muscle mass measurements. The aim of this review is to highlight the importance of sarcopenia as an emerging public health issue, diagnostic evaluation with muscle mass and functional performance evaluations and appropriate interventions for management.

Comparative analysis of the infant mortality rate in the Russian Federation and the Privolzhsky Federal District over 1999–2018
Authors: Ananin Sergey A. , Karpova Svetlana S.
Published: May 2022

Introduction. The infant mortality (IM) rate is a serious medical, social and demographic problem. This is one of the main indicators of public health, which characterizes not only the quality of the medical and preventive care for women and children, but also the level of socio and economic well-being. The purpose of the study was to investigate the trend in IM indicators in the Privolzhsky Federal District (PFD) and the Russian Federation (RF) over a twenty-year period (1999-2018) and to determine the relationship with the indicators of gross domestic product (GDP). Material and methods. The analysis of official statistical data is carried out and the comparison of regional indicators with the national average values and data for a number of countries of the world is carried out. The paper uses statistical and analytical methods. The correlation between IM, total mortality and the gross regional product (GRP) per capita in the Privolzhsky Federal District and GDP per capita in the Russian Federation is carried out. Results. Over the past 20 years, both in the Privolzhsky Federal District and in the Russian Federation, a decrease in the IM rate value was found to be registered by more than 3 times. There is a strong negative relationship between IM rate and GRP per capita in the Privolzhsky Federal District and IM rate and GDP per capita in the Russian Federation. Limitations. The analysis of infant mortality in the territory of the Privolzhsky Federal District and in the Russian Federation for a 20 years was carried out using a continuous method according to official statistical reports, which is a sufficient reference sample. Conclusion. Without reducing the IM rate in all subjects and districts of the Russian Federation, it is impossible to achieve its reduction in the country as a whole. The main tool for achieving this goal is the implementation of the National Project “Health Care”, which provides, among other things, the reduction of IM. At the same time, IM indicator in Russian Federation was already less than the indicator value of 2020 in 2018, and its value in the Privolzhsky Federal District reached the planned level of 2022. Thus, the final indicator of the National Project is not only achievable, but can also be adjusted in the process of its implementation.

Introduction. The problem of child traumatism injury and its prevention remains relevant both on the territory of the Russian Federation and throughout the world. The purpose of the study - to conduct an analysis of injuries among the children’s population of Primorsky Krai. Material and methods. There were used materials of the Primorsky Regional Medical Information and Analytical Center: “Injuries, poisoning and other consequences of exposure to external causes”, “Information about a medical and preventive institution”, “Information about hospital activities” for 2016-2018. Results. In the Primorsky Territory, the injury rate in children aged 0-17 years was found to be 185.4 per 1000 population of the corresponding age, which is 62.9% higher than the level of the Russian Federation, and 42.6% higher than the level of the Far Eastern Federal District. At the same time, in Primorsky Krai, there was a gain in the level of injuries among the child population for the period 2016-2018 by 2.4%. The indicators of injuries of the child population for external reasons and transport injuries amounted to 134.8 and 48.9 cases per 1000 children, respectively. In the structure of injuries by the nature of injuries, 71.8% were injuries attributed to the “other” section, i.e. not deciphered by official statistics. Fractures of various localization took the second place: fractures of the upper extremities accounted for 14.3%, lower extremities - 6.38%, intracranial injuries - 3.96%. Limitations of the study. The study was conducted on the available data of the official statistical accounting of injury rates of the children’s population of the Primorsky Krai. Conclusion. The problem of child injuries has a high socio-economic significance and is one of the leading problems in the medicine of the Primorsky region, which, in turn, requires the adoption of effective preventive measures aimed at specific risk factors for the development of child injuries, which should be implemented as a result of the interaction of health authorities, regional and municipal authorities.

Background: The quality of life of patients after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is definitely not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQL) and related factors in patients undergoing angioplasty. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was performed on patients with coronary artery disease who underwent PCI and had a history of hospitalization in Zanjan, Iran in 2020.  920 patients based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria were included by census method.The study tool was a 36-item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire)SF-36). Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to data analysis in SPSS 19 with a significance level of 5%. Results: In total, 70%(644people) were female, 86% (791) angina, 34.2% (315) Myocardial infarction. median (IQR) of age, Physical Component Summary(PCS), and Mental component summary (MCS) were 60 (15), 65.78(9.48), 64.18 (7.68), respectively. Multivariate linear regression showed that PCI type (B=-2.52, p=0.013) and age (B= -0.21,p<0.001) had a negative effect  and education level(B=3.15, p=0.002), income(B=1.34, p=0.002), angina(B=1.27, p=0.02)  and number of drugs(B=0.609, p<0.001)  had a positive effect on PCS. Also, PCI type (B=-3.024, p=0.001), age(B=-0.123, p<0.001), diabetes(B=-1.19, p=0.008), blood pressure(B=-0.728, p=0.05)  and duration of disease(B=-0.309, p=0.022)  had a negative effect and education, income(B=2.57, p=0.022), number of drugs(B=0.615, p<0.001)  had a positive effect on MCS. Conclusion: Age, type of PCI, diabetes, blood pressure, level of education, income were the most important factors related to HRQL of cardiovascular patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. Therefore, to improve the HLQL, these factors must be considered.

Authors: Chelladurai Iyyanar , K C Habeebmoon
Published: May 2022

Kodiveli is an important Siddha drug used in the formulations such as Kodiveli Podi, Kodiveli Ennai, Kodiveli Thylam, Chithramoola Kuligai and Kodiveli Kudineer. The HPTLC is a simple method to differentiate closely related species. HPTLC profiling of ethanolic extracts of roots of three species of Plumbago (Plumbago zeylanica L. (Venkodiveli), P.indica L., (Senkodiveli) and P. auriculata Lam. (Karunkodiveli)) has been carried out using Toluene: Ethyl acetate: Methanol (5:1.5:0.1) as solvent system on Silica gel 60 F254-coated aluminium sheets. The preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening found the same combination of phytoconstituents while the HPTLC finger prints have given more refined picture in respect of the number of compounds present and plumbagin concentration among the three selected species of Plumbago. The chromatogram peak at Rf. 0.76 found common and indicating highest concentration in all the three species and it may be of the bioactive compound plumbagin. The number of peaks and their attributes were found to be different among the roots of the selected species. This result will be highly useful for the precise identification and discrimination of the authentic root materials of P. zeylanica, P. Indica and P. Auriculata from substitutes and adulterants used in the raw drug market.

Published: May 2022

Background: Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis) is a chronic progressive disease, resulted from the conglomeration of Ama and aggrevated Vata dosha which gets lodged in the small joints followed by large joints. If it is left untreated, may cause various complications in the form of Vataja diseases in which Raktadhatu kshaya (Anaemia) and Mutrakricchra (Urinary Tract Infection) are predominant. But it needs robust evidence to revalidate the same. Aim & Objective: To evaluate the association of Raktadhatu kshaya (Anaemia) and Mutrakricchra (Urinary Tract Infection) with Amavata (~Rheumatoid Arthritis). Materials & Methods: A case-control study was conducted from 18.04.2018 to 09.01.2020, containing 155 cases (patients of Amavata), and 163 controls (healthy volunteers), matching in age (between 18 to 50 years), and sex, selected from Jamnagar district.  Health Assessment proforma of TRISUTRA project CSIR-AYURGENOMICS for health assessment,  ACR, 1987 Criteria for RA diagnosis were used. Chi-square test was applied to find the association of Raktadhatu kshaya (Anaemia) and Mutrakricchra (Urinary Tract Infection) with Amavata whereas Unpaired or Mann-whitney U test was applied to compare the hematological parameters between case and control group. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in the mean values of haemoglobin, total leukocyte count, neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PCV, total RBC count, and platelet count among both the groups. Microcytic and Dimorphic Anaemia were substantially higher (P<0.0001) in the Amavata patients than in the controls (χ2 value=24.814). The prevalence of UTI (presence of pus cells in the urine) was  found significantly more (P<0.0001) in Amavata patients than healthy individuals (χ2 value=45.347). Conclusion: Anaemia and Urinary tract infections are strongly associated with Amavata (~Rheumatoid Arthritis).
Availability and yielding of natural camphor (Karpura) from Cinnamomum camphora Nees & Eberm
Authors: Dongre Rita , Deogade Meena , Dhote Mangesh
Published: May 2022

Karpura (natural camphor) has been mentioned since the Vedic era in various formulations for therapeutic and spiritual reasons. But from the late 19th century onwards, synthetic camphor replaced it due to its high price and unavailability of its plant material. This synthetic camphor is very low-priced as compared to a natural one. The cost-effective and unawareness about it’s side effects lead to escalating the use of synthetic camphor. Formulations mentioned in Ayurveda are with natural camphor not with synthetic. But there is no proper method described for yielding of natural camphor from Cinnamomum camphora Nees & Eberm. plant. This is an effort to know the extraction of natural camphor from wood and leaves of Cinnamomum camphora Nees & Eberm. In the present study Clevenger apparatus was used to evaluate its yielding proportion. The yielding percentage of Karpura depends on the quality, quantity, part used and maturity of plant material. Moreover, the selection of proper apparatus and procedures is also vital for the quantitative extraction of Karpura. Though having a high price, it has a unique remedial activity which is entirely different from the synthetic one that is available in the market on the trade name of Karpura.
