Authors: Sumana Kundragrami  , Santanu Bag  , Sunanda Dey  , Jinia Saha
Published: August 2023

Background: There have been successive waves of SARS-CoV-2 variants since January 2020, the B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant has led to a third upsurge in India since December 2021. Neonates constitute a vulnerable population and there is limited literature about naturalhistory, management, and outcomes of Omicron infected newborns.
Aims and Objectives: The study was conducted to study the outcomes among newborns born to COVID-19 positive mothers during the Omicron upsurge.
Materials and Methods: Between December 2021 and January 2022, this study was conducted on newborns born to COVID-19 positivemothers in a single center during the Omicron upsurge. We investigated the maternal pregnancy complications, methods of delivery, neonatal resuscitation, neonatal conditions, suspicious infectious status, and morbidity based on maternal infections.
Results: A total of 39 neonates were born to mothers with a history of Omicron COVID-19 infected during delivery. None were positive when tested or developed any disease specific symptoms in the postnatal period. Among the neonates, 5 needed admissions in newborn units. Birth asphyxia, transient tachypnea of the newborn and meconium aspiration syndrome was seen along with minor problems such as feed intolerance and hyperbilirubinemia. Rest all had been stable throughout the hospital course. All infants had been developmentally stable on followup up to 6 months post-discharge.
Conclusion: During Omicron COVID-19, newborns had very less complications and we advise giving breast milk to babies with proper precautions along with rooming-in for the lower income countries.

Authors: Ajay Gupta  , Pushpendra Singh  , Krishna Dubey  , Sushil Mewara  , Mayank Sharma  , Yogesh Gupta
Published: August 2023

Background: Cervical cancer continues to be listed among the top gynecologic cancers worldwide. According to current data, it is ranked fourteenth among all cancers and fourth-ranked cancer among women worldwide. In India alone 1,30,000 new cases occur with the death toll of 70,000 per year. A “PAP’ test should be performed during the second half of the menstrual cycle (Day 14). The patient is placed in lithotomy position and the cervix is visualized by means of a speculum. The smaller end of the Ayre’s spatula is introduced through the external os and the squamocolumnar junction is scraped by rotating the spatula to 360°.
Aims and Objectives: The objective of the study is to evaluate the use of the Pap smear screening method for detection of precancerous lesions. Cervical cancer accounts for 15% of all cancers in females. If treated or detected earlier, cervical cancer can be prevented.
Materials and Methods: This study was done on 1000 patients during reproductive and later age groups (postmenopausal), attending Obstetric and Gynaecological Outpatient Department of Panna Dhai Hospital associated with RNTMC, Udaipur during the period of November 2012–April 2014 with history of white discharge per vagina, bleeding per vagina, pain in lower abdomen and post coital bleeding.
Results: Most of the smears (90.1%) were NILM and 9.9% of smears showed cytological abnormality. Majority 834 (83.4%) of smears were inflammatory, Bacterial vaginosis was seen in 119 cases (11.9%), Candidiasis in 78 cases (7.8%), Trichomoniasis in 35 cases (3.5%), Atrophic vaginitis in 4 cases (0.4%) and Radiation changes in 4 cases (0.4%). There were 99 samples reported as having epithelial cell abnormality. Out of which 75 were LSIL, 14 were high grade squamous intraepithelial, 5 were atypical squamous cells (ASC)-US, 1 was ASC-H and 4 were squamous cell carcinoma.
Conclusion: Due to high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy found in this study Pap test is proved to be highly useful to detect precancerous and cancerous lesions of cervix. From the above facts, it can be concluded that early diagnosis and prompt specific treatment of preinvasive or early stages of the disease (mainly in high risk women), reduces the prevalence of invasive carcinoma of uterine cervix.

Authors: Sithara Subair  , Preeti Malpani  , Urvashi Channa
Published: August 2023

Background: Blood is a vital human tissue and a precious health resource. Use of these components may be associated with adverse events, which compromise the efficiency and safety of blood transfusion. The incidence of adverse transfusion reactions has declined with modern facilities like improved screening and transfusion practices, but some are still observed due to alloimmunization, bacterial contamination, immunomodulation, etc.
Aims and Objectives: To study the incidence and profile of acute blood transfusion reactions (ATR) in pediatric patients at our center.
Materials and Methods: We monitored ATRs in patients receiving blood components among the age group of 1 month–18 years, during September 2021–August 2022. A detailed proforma was used to collect data from patients developing ATR.
Results: ATRs were observed among 329 patients (3.9%) out of 9501 transfusions. In decreasing order of frequency, febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (3.3%), allergies (0.5%), hemolytic reactions (0.1%) were observed. ATRs were most commonly observed with red cell concentrate transfusions (90.6%) followed by platelets (7%) and then plasma (2.2%) (P=0.059). Most of the reactions occurred within 1st 2 h (82.4%) of transfusion and the most common symptom recorded was fever (61.5%) followed by chills and rigors (20.9%). We found a significant association between ATRs and previous history of blood transfusion (81.8%) (P<0.00001) and also with storage of blood components for more than 3 days (88.8%) (P=0.019).
Conclusion: The prevalence of ATR was 3.9% among pediatric patients in our setup. Knowledge of risk factors associated with transfusion reaction will help in improving transfusion practices.

Published: August 2023

Background: The size of the airway varies greatly in pediatric patients, making it difficult to predict an appropriate size Endotracheal tube (ETT) for securing the airway. Several formulae are used to predict approximate ETT size. With the wider availability of ultrasonography (USG), many clinicians have suggested it as a useful tool for airway management and have used USG to measure tracheal dimensions in adults and children.
Aims and Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of USG for the selection of correct sized uncuffed ETT in pediatric patients and the secondary aim was to correlate the age-based formula with ultrasound measured subglottic diameter for predicting the size of ETT.
Materials and Methods: A total of 64 patients of either gender in the age group of 2–6 years were enrolled in the study. Standard anesthetic induction was done and transverse subglottic diameter was measured using USG. The minimal transverse subglottic diameter was measured and noted and the patient was intubated with the tube size as determined by modified Cole’s age-based formula.
Results: Out of 64 patients, 33 were male and 31 female. Average age was 3.9 (±1.47) years, 42.2% belonged to the age group of (2–3) years, average weight of the patients was 20.3 (±10.45) kg. The mean ETT outer diameters (OD) based on age-based formula was 6.81 mm compared to 6.91 mm and 6.78 mm by USG based and actual ETT OD, respectively. Both the age based ETT OD and USG-based ETT OD showed good correlation with actual ETT OD used with r-value of 0.891 and 0.876, respectively.
Conclusion: Although USG is a non-invasive, cost-effective, and reproducible technique its routine use for estimating ETT size in pediatric patients could not be justified over age-based formula as both of them have comparable results (statistically insignificant). The success rate of age-based formula and USG in precisely predicting ETT outer diameter is comparable with the size of actual ETT outer diameter (78% vs. 75%, P=0.86).

Authors: Amanul Haque  , Sanjay Sarkar  , Seema Mondal  , Ruplekha Mitra Mustaphi
Published: August 2023

Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10% of all strokes, and about 35–45% of patients die within the 1st month. The scarcity of robust data on the validity and utility of the ICH score on the Indian population in a resource-poor health facility is a compelling factor for more study in this field, especially among the tribal population in this region. ICH score is a simple, easy-to-calculate prognostic indicator of hemorrhagic score.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study is to estimate the prognostic significance of ICH score (both modified and the original) in hemorrhagic stroke in terms of mortality and morbidity and to analyze associated risk factors like mortality, morbidity, and motor recovery of hemorrhagic stroke in tribal and non-tribal population.
Materials and Methods: The study was institution-based observational and prospective study of 120 new-onset hemorrhagic stroke cases diagnosed by clinical and radiological evaluation admitted in this medical college during the period of study. Along with history, clinical examination and CT scan brain guided ICH scoring is done, follow-up at the end of 1 week and at the 5th week including physical performance assessment and reviewing of records and certificates. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The patients with modified ICH score 0 had 100% improvement whereas the improvement was seen in 54.84% of patients with scores 1 and 2. A total 50% of patients with scores 3 and 4 improved significantly. The incidence of hypertension was more in non-tribal population (70.45%) than total tribal population (56.25%) of study and Compared to non-tribal population (23.86%), tribals had more history of addiction (40.63%).
Conclusion: Both the ICH Scores, modified and the original, were practical and valid predicting mortality in our setup. However, the modified one was more accurate and pragmatic in our study.
Study of ductal lavage cytology in women at high risk for breast carcinoma
Authors: Minakashi Chouhan  , Shweta Sushmita  , Dinesh Singh Chauhan
Published: August 2023

Background: Ductal lavage (DL) involves cannulating the nipple aspirate fluid (NAF)-producing ducts with a microcatheter and lavaging with saline to retrieve cells for cytological and molecular analysis. This method improves upon NAF and fine-needle aspiration and can provide important data on cellular yield and molecular markers in DL fluid.
Aims and Objectives: This aimed to study the cytology of DL in women at risk of/clinicoradiological possibility of breast carcinoma and to correlate the cytology of DL with Gail risk score and with histopathology (wherever available).
Materials and Methods: The present study, conducted at Hindu Rao Hospital, Delhi, between 2012 and 2014, examined 36 patients with nipple discharge. Nipple aspiration and DL were performed, and the results were analyzed and compared. The present study also looked at the correlation between DL results and the patient’s Gail score and correlated histopathology with DL cytology.
Results: The present study enrolled 36 women and studied 50 ducts from 46 breasts. Nipple fluid was aspirated from 34 patients, with inadequate cellular material for diagnosis in 24 breasts, benign in 18, atypia in 2, and no malignancy found. The correlation of DL with Gail score was statistically significant, as was the correlation between epithelial cells in DL and NAF samples. The correlation between DL and histopathological findings was statistically insignificant.
Conclusion: DL samples may miss atypical cells, and have higher epithelial cell count than NAF. Higher Gail score correlates with mild atypical cells in DL (P=0.003).
Etiology of adult onset seizures: Role of magnetic resonance imaging
Authors: Geetanjali Andani  , Nagendra R Patil  , Reddy Santosh
Published: August 2023

Background: Neuroimaging is an important diagnostic tool which aids in detecting structural, vascular, neoplastic, and demyelinating causes of symptomatic seizures and may predict risk of seizure recurrence. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a sensitive neuroimaging modality which can detect subtle lesions, their exact location, and extent, which cannot be revealed by computed tomography (CT) scan. Because of its excellent soft-tissue contrast and detailed depiction of anatomy, MRI has emerged as the most valuable tool for the localization of underlying pathology. As a result, the goal of this study is to investigate the etiological factors for adult-onset seizures using MRI.
Aims and Objectives: The goal of this study is to investigate the etiological factors for adult-onset seizures using MRI.
Materials and Methods: The present study was an observational prospective study of 50 patients presented to the Department of Radiodiagnosis at Basaweshwar Hospital and met the inclusion criteria of the study. The inclusion criteria were to include all those cases who presented with seizures and all of them were subjected to brain MRI. The imaging findings were analyzed, described, and represented in the form of tables and charts.
Results: The mean age of all patients was 44.05 years, with males being 43.63 years old and females being 44.48 years old. The generalized tonic–clonic seizures were the most common type of seizure in 59 (84.3%). The most common MRI findings were ring enhancing lesion (14%), infract with gliosis (13.6%), and neoplasm (10.3%).
Conclusion: MRI was able to detect an underlying lesion causing symptomatic seizures with added advantage of no radiation exposure, and superior neuroimaging modality and should be the investigation of choice in all patients who had a history of convulsions after ruling out systemic and metabolic causes of convulsion.
Review of the Banach-Stone Theorem
Authors: Bhatt Biseswar Prasad
Published: August 2023

This is a quick overview of the isomorphism between spaces of continuous functions, or C(X) type spaces, that depend on compact Hausdorff spaces outfitted with the uniform norm. When two compact metric spaces, X and Y, are homeomorphic, Banach assumed the problem in 1932. He came to the conclusion that if C(X) and C(Y) are isometric isomorphic, then X and Y are homeomorphic. Stone then generalized this outcome for a general compact Hausdorff space in 1937. Then it is frequently referred to as the Banach-Stone theorem. There are numerous variations of this classic result. We can derive the topological features of X and Y from Gelfand and Kolmogoroff's algebraic version, which was published in 1939.
Cultural Hybridity in The Kite Runner
Authors: Subedi Narendra Raj
Published: August 2023

The Kite Runner is a novel written by Khaled Hosseini. The novel is a mirror to see the Afghan history, culture, religions, politics and many other aspects of the nation. Specifically, the novel evolves round the Afghan immigrants in Fremont, California. This paper attempts to reveal the issues of cultural differences between the two cultures: Afghan/Muslim and the American/Christian where the Afghan immigrants face cultural difficulties in a new land. In the colonial, post-colonial and post-modern societies people from across the world travel, migrate, immigrate and even settle in a new cultural location where they have to assimilate, resist or interpret the new culture. In the midst of it, this article will examine the readjustment of the immigrants in a culturally different location. Readjustment is not easy but can be made possible by their choice off cultural hybridization. In this context Homi K Bhabha, a post-colonial theorist is considered for the application part in the present study. For Bhabha the cultural space means neither the one nor the other but something else besides, in between. Neither this nor that so the third space is created for the cultural practice. The Afghan immigrants find the third space where they can rest their cultural pain. Certainly, the assumption of 'in between-space' will help to come out to the cultural problems of immigrants in the new land.
Analyzing Madhesh Movement from a Social Structural Approach
Authors: Subedi Tek Nath
Published: August 2023

Collective human activities are the motors of social change. Change depends less on mutual understanding and more on the contradiction between different micro-to-macro-level functioning units. Thus, sociological theories bring together the network of relationship between manifold social layers while analyzing the status of continuity or flux of change in society. Insofar as Nepali society has undergone tremendous changes, attempts of inserting more recent sociological theories becomes customary. Contrary to this, the application of classical theories in analyzing the socio-political transformations has been a usual trend. The 2007-Madhesh Movement was one of the major turning points in Nepal’s socio-political history, which had brought significant macro-level changes in Nepal. Several scholarly attempts are made to discuss and analyze the Movement, but emphasis is given more to the internal structure bypassing the international structure. This paper aims to analyze the Madhesh Movement with reference to an acclaimed book ‘Madhesh Bidrohako Nalibeli’, and examines whether the book has applied the most updated sociological theories of social movement such as Theda Skocpol’s social structural approach. The book is found too slim in defining and theorizing the movement sociologically since it has given credit only to national-level phenomena than the global capitalist process. This paper confirms that the proper positioning of macro-level structural contexts and the development at home and abroad can help anyone better understand the movement.
Parental Approval, Active Mediation, and Adolescent Online Social Behavior: Differences by Parent-Child Gender Pairs
Authors: Keyzers Angela , Dworkin Jodi
Published: August 2023

Adolescents across the globe spend a significant amount of time engaging in online social behavior (OSB). Parents play an important role in influencing adolescent online behavior, however, there is limited understanding about what influences parent’s management of their children’s online behavior. The current study was designed to examine the complex associations between parents’ attitudes about OSB, active parental mediation of adolescent’s online behavior, and adolescent OSB using a diverse U.S. sample. Further, whether these associations are moderated by parent-child gender was examined. Results add insight into how, and under what circumstances fathers and mothers differentially monitor their adolescents’ online behavior and what that means for adolescents’ actual online behavior. Results also provide a preliminary understanding of the role parents’ approval of OSB plays in adolescent OSB and how this association is moderated by parent-child gender. This research helps lay the groundwork for developing strategies targeted toward shaping and/or changing parents’ attitudes about their sons’ and daughters’ OSB in ways that support mediation strategies and responsible adolescent OSB.
Happily Ever After or Not? Marital Quality among Culturally Diverse Older-Aged Canadian Parents
Authors: Mitchell Barbara A. , Dhillon Sandeep K.
Published: August 2023

The quality of partnered relationships is integral to individual and family health and well-being over the life span. Significant shifts in ethno-cultural diversity, parental roles, and family life contribute to more complex partnership experiences in North American society. Drawing from a socio-cultural life course lens, we examine parental marital satisfaction/quality in later life in terms of ethnicity, socio-demographic variables (e.g., ethnic identity, gender, age, health status) and family context (e.g., presence of children at home, intergenerational relations, retirement status). Data are drawn from a sample of 454 married/partnered adults aged 50+ with a least one child aged 19–35 who reside in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, from four cultural groups: British, Chinese, Persian/Iranian, and South Asian. Using Ordinary Linear Regression, we model predictors of three dependent variables: global marital satisfaction and two sub-scales, including positive and negative emotional/cognitive appraisals of relationship quality. Several ethnic group contrasts were supported, with Chinese reporting lower global marital satisfaction than the South Asians and Persian/Iranians reporting lower levels of positive marital appraisals than the South Asians. In addition, these associations were nuanced by interactions between ethnicity and gender, revealing distinct relationships with the dependent variables. Results also support associations for several covariates. In particular, greater income satisfaction and those reporting lower conflict with their children had higher marital quality; and males and those reporting better health only had positive associations with the global marital satisfaction scale. Implications for theorizing relationship quality in later life and recommendations for those who work with culturally diverse older adults (e.g., mental health care professionals, community service providers) are discussed.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PREDICTION OF PERONEMIN COMPOUNDS FROM SUNGKAI (Peronema canescens Jack) AND THEIR DERIVATIVES
Authors: Nurjannah Sofia , Arum Dewi , Tarigan Indra Lasmana , Latief Madyawati
Published: August 2023

Seven Sungkai Peronemins compounds belong to the alkaloid group, Peronemin A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, and D1. Sungkai contains several bioactive compounds, triterpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, steroids, and saponins which can act as anti-inflammatory candidates. Geometry optimization to find the most stable molecular structure and SMILES of the peronemin compound was used to predict pIC50 using the pChEMBL® program. From the test results of seven peronemin compounds, several candidate target molecules were obtained as potential anti-inflammatory agents, namely Angiotensin II type 2 (AT-2) receptors, Dihydrofolate reductase, and Phosphodiesterase 7A. Of the three target molecules, the Angiotensin II type 2 (AT-2) receptor on peronemin C1 has the highest pIC50 value of 6.79. The highest pIC50 value indicates an exponentially potent inhibitor in determining its biological activity. The anti-inflammatory function of AT-2 is revealed by its involvement in modulating mediators such as cytokines and chemokines.

Authors:   Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Delfa Rodríguez Beatriz , Ballesteros Carlos ,   Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Gomez Georgina ,   International Institute of Social Studies
Published: August 2023

La innovación frugal, como modelo de innovación, es un área de intervención poco estudiada en el marco de las Organizaciones No Gubernamentales para el Desarrollo (ONGD). El objetivo de esta investigación, a través de estudio de caso múltiple, es identificar y describir el nivel de conocimiento que disponen las ONGD españolas sobre innovación frugal, si cuentan con proyectos de innovación frugal, qué líneas de acción de la cooperación internacional española son más susceptibles de trabajar con modelos de innovación frugal y qué rol desempeñan dentro de este tipo de proyectos. Los hallazgos constatan que las ONGD destacan por su rol de promotoras y de enlace con la población diana local y que no son en general creadoras de soluciones de innovación. Estas desconocen mayoritariamente el modelo de la innovación frugal a nivel conceptual, aunque sus proyectos, contienen de manera parcial o total un alto índice de componentes frugales. En concreto, para proyectos de producción alimentaria sostenible ubicados en zonas rurales, la innovación frugal tiene un gran potencial como modelo de innovación para el desarrollo. Queda como reto, en próximas investigaciones, explorar en profundidad el impacto social que producen este tipo de proyectos altamente frugales de producción alimentaria sostenible respecto a otros proyectos de innovación en el mismo ámbito.

Japan is one of the most prosperous and richest countries in the world. The standard of living of the Japanese roughly corresponds to the standards of developed European countries, and at the same time there is no significant stratification of the population by income. Such phenomena as poverty, unemployment, mass strikes are far in the past. Japan is also distinguished by the punctual operation of transport, high level of sanitation and hygiene, very good service, low crime rate, etc. In other words, there are all the basic conditions for a decent and comfortable life. However, against the background of general well-being, there are groups of the population whose lifestyle does not meet the standards and norms of behavior in accordance with which the absolute majority of Japanese people build their lives. Because of these deviations, we call the people in these groups «non-standard» Japanese. These groups can be found both among young people and among the adult population. The article presents the main characteristics of these groups, shows the reasons that prompted these people to change their usual way of life to a «non-standard», describes the measures taken by the state to support such citizens. The article also shows that people whom society for one reason or another does not perceive as ordinary, «normal» citizens can be found outside the groups of «non-standard» Japanese. The author comes to the conclusion that describing Japan as a prosperous country, at the same time it should be borne in mind that there are many citizens who do not fit into society’s ideas of «normality». At the same time, many of them are well aware of their «specialness» and the vulnerability of their position in society, where it is customary to «be like everyone else».
