Authors: CARBONARI FRANCO
Published: April 2018

RESUMEN El presente artículo aborda en clave de exposición los resultados parciales de un estudio cuya problemática central se expresa en la indagación sobre los sentidos que jóvenes de sectores populares construyen en torno a la escuela media, interrogando con mayor detenimiento sobre la incidencia de lo laboral en dicha construcción de sentido. El mismo, centra sus interrogantes en jóvenes cuyo vínculo con la escolarización secundaria y el trabajo ofrece diferentes aristas: que estudian y trabajan, que estudian y no trabajan, que trabajan y no estudian, que no trabajan y no estudian; tanto en instancias formales como no formales. Desde una metodología que articula lo cualitativo y lo cuantitativo, recurrimos a la técnica de la entrevista semiestructurada con la intención de profundizar en el análisis. De esta manera, a partir del relato de los actores, establecemos los vínculos con las categorías de análisis y con datos estadísticos obtenidos de diversas fuentes secundarias.

SUMMARY This work evaluated the effect of including sweet potato meal (SPM), as an alternative to corn in broiler chicken diets, on performance, carcass yield, intestinal morphometry, organ biometry, meat quality and drumstick pigmentation. The study used 936 male Cobb-500 chicks. The experiment had a completely randomized, 3x2 factorial design, with three diet types. These included corn as the energetic ingredient in the standard diet (corn-soybean meal, CSM), and an increasing (ISP) and decreasing (DSP) inclusion of sweet potato meal as a corn substitute, in association with exogenous enzymes, for a total of six treatments with six repetitions and 26 birds per plot. During the period of 1 to 21 days, there was an interaction (P<0.05) for the weight gain (WG) variable; the CSM diets promoted greater WG in relation to the ISP and DSP groups, when supplemented with exogenous enzymes. There was an increase (P<0.05) in surface absorption of the jejunum villi and relative weight of the pancreas, and worse feed conversion (FC), for the ISP and DSP diets. With exception of the pancreas, for the entire period of 1 to 39 days the performance, yield of the carcass and cuts, meat quality, relative weight of the liver, and feet pigmentation variables were not affected (P>0.05) by the factors evaluated. Sweet potato meal, independent of the inclusion program (ISP/DSP) and enzyme supplementation, could partially substitute corn in broiler chicken feed, guaranteeing good performance, carcass yield and meat quality.

SUMMARY The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplemental copaiba or sucupira oils on broiler performance and intestinal health. A total of 600 one-day old Cobb 500 male broilers were distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replicates with 25 broilers each. To increase the health challenge, the broilers were reared on reused litter. The treatments consisted of: control diet; diet with a performance enhancing antibiotic (avilamycin); diet with 2,000 mg/kg copaiba oil and a diet with 500 mg/kg sucupira oil. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey test (5%). The addition of sucupira oil at 500 mg/kg decreased broiler performance at 21, 33, and 40 days of age, whereas the addition of copaiba oil resulted in similar performance relative to the antibiotic. Dietary supplementation of copaiba or sucupira oils did not change the intestinal epithelium of broilers. The addition of sucupira oil negatively affected broiler performance. Copaiba oil can be used in broiler diets as a performance enhancer.

Published: April 2018

SUMMARY The objective of the study was to determine the digestible calcium from different sources by direct and indirect methods. Thirty castrated male pigs were used, distributed in randomized blocks, in six treatments: 1- Calcitic limestone; 2-Dicalcium phosphate powder 18%; 3- Dicalcium phosphate powder 20%; 4- Dicalcium microgranulated phosphate 18%; 5- Monodicalcium microgranulated phosphate 20%; 6- Monodicalcium microgranulated phosphate 21%, with six replicates and one animal per experimental unit. A basal diet was formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of the animals, except for calcium (0.06%) and the evaluated sources replaced the basal diet in order to provide 0.45% of total Ca. At the same time, two stool collection methods were evaluated: total collection and fecal indicator. The animals were housed in metabolism cages for 12 days to collect feces and urine to determine the calcium values used to estimate digestibility coefficients and digestible calcium. The total collection method and the faecal indicator method did not affect the true digestibility coefficient of calcium. The calcium digestibility of the microgranulated dicalcium phosphate 21% (MM21) was superior in comparison with the other calcium sources evaluated by the indirect method in the present study. The average values of true digestibility of the calcium sources, in percentage, were: calcitic limestone: 82.47; dicalcium phosphate powder 18%: 80.87; dicalcium phosphate powder 20%: 85.65; dicalcium microgranulated phosphate 18%: 81.65; monodicalcium microgranulated phosphate 20%: 84.15; and monodicalcium microgranulated phosphate 21%: 88.35. The two methodologies can be used to determine the digestibility of calcium.
Conductivity modification of gum acacia-based gel electrolytes
Authors: Arora Narinder , Sharma Viney , Kumar Rajesh , Kumar Rajiv
Published: May 2018

Gum acacia (GA) is a natural gum with a high molecular weight; it is a polysaccharide material that is acidic in nature and the least viscous among hydrocolloids. The ion-conducting behavior of water-dissolvable GA-based gel electrolytes has been studied with salt (ammonium chloride (NH4Cl)) concentration, GA content and temperature enhancement. The conductivity of GA-based gel electrolytes without salt has been found to increase with the increase in GA content at low concentrations and reaches a maximum value of 4·99 × 10−3 S/cm at 40 wt.% of GA and then shows a small decrease at higher concentrations of GA. GA-based gel electrolytes show ionic conductivity decrements and indicate negative activation energy with increase in temperature, which contradicts the theoretical explanation – that is, σ = σ o exp(−E a/K b T). An ionic conductivity on the order of 10−1 S/cm has been observed for varying weights percentages of GA-based gel electrolytes containing 5 M ammonium chloride and does not show much change with temperature enhancement from 10 to 70°C, which makes it suitable for their use in fuel cells and other device applications.
Transmission length of pretensioned concrete systems – comparison of codes and test data
Authors: Mohandoss Prabha , Pillai Radhakrishna G. , Sengupta Amlan K.
Published: May 2018

This paper presents a comparative study of the transmission length (Lt) of pretensioned concrete (PTC) members obtained using experiments and AASHTO, ACI, BIS, Eurocode 2 and fib Model Code (fib-MC) codes. Tests on six PTC specimens (with 12·7 mm dia. strands (ds) and effective prestress (fpe) of 1214 MPa) indicated that Lt can reduce by about 20% when the concrete strength (fci) increases from about 23 to 36 MPa. A case study of the influence of Lt on the shear resistance of a typical precast hollow-core slab showed that the ACI and fib-MC codes provide conservative shear designs, whereas the IS code considers only ds and provides a less conservative design. This paper proposes a revised tentative formula of Lt (as a function of ds, fpe and fci) to be incorporated in the IS 1343 and other codes. It is anticipated that this will lead to more rational and conservative shear designs.

Authors: López Fernández María Victoria , Sánchez Herrera Susana
Published: April 2018

Actualmente, las exigencias, responsabilidades y obligaciones para incorporarse al mundo laboral son mayores y el proceso de toma de decisiones vocacional se torna cada vez más difícil, por ello, resulta necesario animar a los centros educativos a buscar estrategias de orientación que faciliten herramientas y un asesoramiento adecuado al alumnado.La Madurez Vocacional se define como el grado en que una persona adopta una decisión basada en el conocimiento de sus alternativas académicas y profesionales, previo análisis de sus valores, metas, intereses, habilidades y condicionantes personales y sociales (Lucas y Carbonero, 2003).Son muchas las dimensiones motivacionales que influyen en el compromiso académico y que deben tenerse en cuenta para incidir sobre el rendimiento académico del alumnado (Rodríguez, 2009). Desde este estudio, se considera que una de estas variables es la madurez vocacional y por ello, el objetivo que se plantea es conocer si existe relación entre la Madurez Vocacional y la motivación hacia el aprendizaje en una muestra total de 1540 sujetos pertenecientes a 27 Centros Educativos de Educación Secundaria de las provincias de Badajoz y Cáceres, con edades comprendidas entre 15 y 19 años.La metodología utilizada en este estudio es de corte descriptivo a través de un paradigma cuantitativo mediante dos instrumentos de tipo encuesta: para la medida de la Motivación hacia el Aprendizaje se utilizó el cuestionario MAPE I de los autores Jesús Alonso Tapia y Javier Sánchez Ferrer (1992), y para la medida de la Madurez Vocacional se utilizó el cuestionario CMV adaptado de Rosa (2015).Los resultados obtenidos muestran que si existe relación entre ambas variables para las tres dimensiones que se estudian en la Motivación hacia el Aprendizaje.

La familia es el principal contexto de socialización del niño, en el que se favorece el desarrollo de sus habilidades emocionales, por tanto, este desempeña un papel imprescindible estableciendo las bases de la identidad del niño, influyendo en el desarrollo de su autoconcepto y autoestima (Lila y Marchetti, 1995). En este sentido, es el estilo democrático de los padres (Ramírez-Lucas, Ferrando y Sainz, 2015) el que correlaciona en mayor medida que otros con el nivel de inteligencia emocional de sus hijos durante los primeros años de vida.El objetivo de este trabajo describir la relación entre las diferentes prácticas que conforman los distintos estilos educativos parentales percibidos y el nivel de inteligencia emocional en sus hijos.Para ello, se entrevistaron a 249 alumnos entre 9 y 12 años, 53.4% niñas y 46.6% niños Se evaluaron las siguientes variables a través de los instrumentos descritos. Estilos parentales percibidos: Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ). Inteligencia Emocional: BarOn ICE: NA Abreviado (Bar-On, R.) Encontramos correlaciones positivas significativas entre las dimensiones Implicación maternal, implicación paternal y crianza positiva relacionadas con el estilo de crianza democrático y las dimensiones de la inteligencia emocional, habilidades interpersonales, adaptabilidad e impresión positiva en los niños, así como con el nivel de inteligencia emocional general de éstos. Por otro lado, las dimensiones de pobre supervisión, disciplina inconsistente y disciplina severa correlacionaron de forma negativa con las habilidades de relaciones interpersonales, manejo del estrés e impresión positiva, así como con la puntuación total en inteligencia emocional.

Published: April 2018

El uso de las Terapias de Tercera Generación se ha intensificado en todos los ámbitos de la psicología relacionados con la salud. La Atención plena (Mindfulness) se ha postulado como una de las principales opciones elegidas de entre los profesionales, volviéndose una práctica de uso ascendente en el ejercicio clínico y el desarrollo de una buena salud psicológica (Ford, Lam, John, & Mauss, 2017). La satisfacción con la vida es uno de los componentes de la salud psicológica más relacionados con estas terapias. El presente estudio tiene como objetivos: 1. Examinar la posible relación entre los cinco factores de la Atención plena (Observación, Descripción, Actuar con conciencia, No juzgar y No reactividad) y la satisfacción con la vida. 2. Conocer la capacidad predictiva y explicativa de dichos factores respecto a la satisfacción con la vida. Se utilizó para ello una muestra de 53 estudiantes pregraduados (tercero y cuarto de carrera) de la Universidad de Cádiz que realizaron voluntariamente y a los que se les administró de forma telemática los cuestionarios: Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (Aguado et al., 2015) y Satisfaction with Life Scale (Atienza, Pons & Balaguer, 2000). Los análisis de correlaciones bivariadas realizados mostraron que sólo los factores de la atención plena No juzgar y Actuar con conciencia, relacionaban de forma positiva y estadísticamente significativa con la satisfacción con la vida. El resultado del análisis de regresión simple efectuado reveló que ambos factores explicaban casi un 24 % de la varianza de la satisfacción con la vida (R cuadrado= 0,238), si bien solo el factor No Juzgar (aceptación de la experiencia internas y las emociones) mostró una capacidad predictiva positiva estadísticamente significativa (= 0,394). Ello nos aporta evidencia de que podemos incrementar la satisfacción con la vida del alumnado pregraduado a partir del desarrollo de su capacidad de aceptar las experiencias internas y las emociones.

Ecological genetics of beetles of the genus Adalia: populations of A. bipunctata of NorwAy and Kola peninsula
Authors: Zakharov Ilya A. , Rubanovich Alexander V.
Published: April 2018

The composition of 5 populations of Adalia bipunctata L. of the Norway and two populations of the Kola Peninsula was stu died. The proportion of black color imago in them varies from 0% to 35.7%. The composition of the populations of A. bipunctata inhabiting the Arctic Circle is described for the first time. Standard correlation analysis did not reveal a significant dependence of the proportion of black individuals, both on the latitude of habitats, and on their climatic parameters. Application of the logistic regression method to these data made it possible to show that the abundance of black morphs is positively associated with the average winter temperature, and is negatively correlated with summer moisture and mean temperature. Basically, these data are determined by the peculiarities of the Bergen population, where the greatest concentration of melanists is observed, and the climatic conditions (according to the average winter temperature, humidity and annual amount of atmospheric rainfall) differ sharply from the conditions of all other studied places on the coasts of Norway and the Kola Peninsula.

The effect of the orexin A OX1R receptor antagonist SB-408124 of on the compulsive behavior and the anxiety in rats after the presentation of vital stress in a number of behavioral tests: marble test, elevated plus maze, in the open field and in the test “resident intruder”. In the buring marble test, the behavioral components of the obsession(obsessiveand obtrusive thoughts) and compulsions (obtrusive behavior), aimed to reduce anxiety, were modeled. Mental trauma was caused by a stressful effect, the essence of which was the experience of the animals of the circumstances of the death of a partner from the actions of a predator. A group of rats were placed once in the terrarium to a tiger python. After the action of vital mental stress in rats, two connected behavioral phenomena were observed: a high level of anxiety and an increase in the number of buried balls. This was accompanied by a decrease in communicability. Intranasal administration (for 7 days) of orexin A antagonist OX1R receptor SB-408124 after presentation of the vital stress reduced the level of anxiety, and also normalized the communicative activity of animals and the number of buried balls, i.e. compulsive behavior. Thus, the orexin system of the brain is an important component of psychotraumatic mechanism. OX1R antagonists of orexin A receptors can potentially be considered as correctors of obsessive-compulsive disorders on the background of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Use of intranasal administration of OX1R antagonists of orexin A receptors in the clinic will allow the use of small doses of substances and thereby reduce their possible toxic effects.

This is one of most spread disease of skin up to 40%, meeting in all countries, in both sexes, in different age groups. The aim. Prevention of severe forms of AD and complications. Methods. To estimate the degree of atopic dermatitis was used international scale SCORAD (Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis). Results and discussion. At present time the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis is discussed in terms of heredity resulting in disturbance of skin barrier, deficiency of immune system. The later means the stimulation of Th2-cells resulting in hyperproduction of IgE, hypersensitivity to allergens and nonspecific stimulants, colonization by pathogenic microorganism such as Staphylococcus aureus, Malassezia furfur and so on. The imbalance of autonomous nerve system with increased production of inflammatory mediators is strongly considered in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis too. Conclusion. Considering the multifactoriality of atopic dermatitis the maintenance pharmacotherapy is of particular importance. (For citation: Petrova IV, Omarov NN, Sargsyan МS, et al.

Published: April 2018

Background: Ectopic pregnancy is an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. For surgical management, laparoscopy is preferred option. In developing world for ruptured ectopic pregnancy laparotomy is done at most of places. In this study we have assessed feasibility of laparoscopic management in both ruptured and unruptured ectopic pregnancy.Methods: A prospective study, conducted over period of 1 year from July 2014 to July 2015 in Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. In 110 patients of ectopic pregnancy parameters studied were age and parity, symptoms, risk factors, diagnostic methods, site of ectopic, management and its outcome. Primary objective was to evaluate management outcome of ectopic pregnancy and to assess feasibility of laparoscopy in ectopic pregnancy. Ruptured ectopic pregnancy with massive hemoperitoneum were analyzed separately. Secondary objective was to study demographic characters and risk factors of ectopic pregnancy.Results: Surgical management was required in 93.6% patients, out of which 86.4% were managed laparoscopically. Unruptured ectopic pregnancy was managed successfully by laparoscopy in 96.6% (29/30) patients. Ectopic was ruptured in 73 (66.3%) cases, laparoscopy was attempted in 91.7% (67/73). In 10.4% (7/67) patients laparoscopy had to be converted to laparotomy and it was successful in 89.5%. Out of 16 patients with massive hemoperitoneum, 12(75%) were managed laparoscopically. There was no mortality.Conclusions: In most of cases laparoscopy is safe and successful. Laparoscopy is feasible in ruptured ectopic cases including selected cases with massive hemoperitoneum thus avoiding unnecessary laparotomy and associated morbidity. Timely diagnosis and management prevents mortality.
A comparative study between placental alpha microglobulin-1 rapid immunoassay and standard diagnostic methods for detection of rupture of membranes
Authors: Deshpande Hemant , Sabale Umesh , Madkar C. S. , Bobe Anuja
Published: April 2018

Background: To determine the efficacy of an immunoassay to measure levels of placental alpha-microglobulin-1 in cervico-vaginal secretions.Methods: 100 ANC cases admitted in Dr D. Y. Patil Hospital with symptoms of rupture of membranes during study period. Inclusion criteria-Pregnant women who presented with symptoms of ROM either in labour or not in labour, gestational age from 28 weeks onwards and who have given consent.Results: In 9 cases, the immunoassay test was negative, in 91 cases, it was positive and in one case, the liquor had a lot of meconium, the woman had to undergo an emergency cesarean section. This patient was deemed to have a false negative result by the test. Pooling was positive in 87 cases, nitrazine test in 86 cases and ferning in 88 cases. Hence, in comparison to immunoassay test which had 100% specificity and 98.91% sensitivity due to incomplete evaluation, nitrazine test had 95.58% sensitivity and 100% specificity, Pooling has 97.79% sensitivity and 100% specificity, whereas ferning has 98.34% sensitivity and 100% specificity.Conclusions: The PAMG1 is a non-invasive, rapid, one step test with very high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy as compared to the conventional methods together and also individually. Preforming this test instead of conventional methods can aid the early detection of rupture of membranes and largely affect the outcome of maternal and fetal health as timely decision can be taken once diagnosis is confirmed.
Emergency peripartum hysterectomy and its association with cesarean section: a 3 years retrospective study
Authors: Kaur Harpreet , Kaur Balpreet , Kaur Sarvjeet
Published: April 2018

Background: Emergency peripartum hysterectomy refers to the abdominal hysterectomy performed during or immediately after cesarean section or vaginal delivery, in a setting of life threatening haemorrhage. Over the past two decades, incidence of cesarean section has greatly increased which emerges as one of the cause for abnormal placentation in subsequent pregnancies thus resulting in increased incidence of haemorrhage. The unplanned nature of the surgery and acute blood loss renders the patient in a less than ideal situation to undergo such a dramatic surgery. Evaluation of risk factors, adequate resuscitation, involvement of senior obstetrician and timely decision for EPH in cases of refractory peripartum haemorrhage would help in significantly reducing the maternal mortality and morbidity. Objective was to study the association between cesarean section and emergency peripartum hysterectomy.  Methods: It is a retrospective study of all women who had undergone emergency peripartum hysterectomy between January 2015 to January 2018 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Guru Gobind Singh Medical College, Faridkot. Incidence, indications, risk factors and complications of emergency peripartum hysterectomies (EPH) were recorded.Results: During three years period the overall incidence of EPH was 1.85 per 1000 deliveries.Conclusions: Emergency peripartum hysterectomy is a challenging procedure performed in obstetrics when all other conservative methods to control uterine haemorrhage have failed. With increased incidence of cesarean sections the cause of emergency peripartum hysterectomy has greatly shifted from uterine atony to abnormal placentation.  Abnormal placentation has now become the most commonly associated indication for EPH. Recognising and assessing patients at risk with appropriate and timely intervention would help in ensuring a better outcome in this otherwise difficult situation.

Published: April 2018

Background: Emergency Obstetric Hysterectomy (EOH) is removal of uterus following vaginal delivery, Emergency LSCS or within the puerperium period. Because of increasing caesarean deliveries, the number of scarred uterus is increasing exposing the gravid women to increasing morbidity from uterine rupture, placenta accrete and placenta previa thus increasing the incidence of Emergency obstetric hysterectomy. The aim was to determine the incidence, demographic details, high risk factors and fetomaternal outcome of patients who underwent EOH.Methods: This was a retrospective study where data was collected from the record sheets of patients who underwent Emergency Obstetric Hysterectomy from January 2016 to December 2017 in the department of OBG, GIMS Gulbarga. Maternal age, parity, socioeconomic status, antenatal care, high risk factors and fetomaternal outcome were analysed.Results: During the study period there were 17,820 deliveries out of which 20 cases underwent EOH giving an incidence of 0.12%. Most of patients were uneducated, unbooked, low SES and of rural background and were multiparous. Main cause for EOH were rupture uterus, PPH and morbidly adherent placenta. There were 2 cases of maternal mortality and fetal mortality was 65%.Conclusions: Though EOH is a lifesaving procedure it curtails the reproductive capacity of the women. Proper antenatal care, early referral, timely decision and skill of surgeon in performing this procedure is important.

Published: April 2018

Background: Antenatal period is the ideal time for counselling regarding contraception. PPIUCD is a long term reversible method for unmet need of contraception in women of reproductive age. The objectives of this study were to determine proportion of women accepting PPIUCD insertion, their socio-demographic, obstetrics characteristics, reason for acceptance, denial, rates of expulsion, complications and continuation rate till 10 weeks after insertion.Methods: A prospective descriptive study on 300 consented women was done in 2012-2013. A structured questionnaire and performa were used to obtain data. PPIUCD (CuT380A) was inserted in these women and were followed up till 10 weeks post insertion.Results: Out of 300 women counselled, only 85 accepted PPIUCD giving an acceptance rate of 28.33%. Women who had short inter-conceptional period or those who had previously used interval IUCD were significantly associated with greater acceptance. Fear of pain, heavy bleeding and infertility when planning next pregnancy were the most common reasons for denial. Continuation rate was 86.89% at 10th week after insertion. No major complication was observed i.e. perforation, infection and pregnancy.Conclusions: PPIUCD is quite safe method of contraception. Adequate counselling and clarification of myths associated with PPIUCD use can help acceptance and meet the unmet needs of contraception in post-partum period and even later in reproductive age women.
Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is a common cause of mortality and morbidity among the women of reproductive age group. Tubal pregnancy is the commonest.  It can occur in cervix, ovaries, previous caesarean scar, interstitial portion of the tube and abdominal cavity. Here we report a case of caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy which was managed conservatively. 31 yrs old gravid 3 previous 1 LSCS and 1 tubal ectopic come for antenatal consultation at 35 days of gestation. UPT was Positive. USG showed no evidence of intra uterine sac. Repeat scan after 10 days showed a gestational sac at the lower uterine segment scar. Hence it was decided for conservative management, injection methotrexate 50 mgm X 2 doses given. This was followed by misoprost vaginal insertion. Since patient did not expel the sac, injection PG F2 alpha 125 mg x 2 doses were given. Patient expelled the products of conception partially. This was followed by hysteroscopic guided evacuation.Caesarean scar ectopic was reported in 1978. Early diagnosis is by TV USG / MRI. Early ectopic can be treated medically. In delayed diagnosis, laparoscopic excision of the scar has to be done. In rupture of the scar site ectopic pregnancy laparotomy is indicated. In the event of heavy bleeding, hysterectomy has to be done. After conservative management and excision of the scar, fertility is not altered. Caesarean section scar pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy which can lead to life threatening complications leading to mortality and morbidity. Treatment has to be individualized according to the gestational age, haemodynamic stability and desire for future fertility.

Published: April 2018

Uterine fibroids are most frequent benign growths occur in female reproductive age with the frequency of 20-40%. The fibroid incidence in pregnancy estimated to be 0.1 to 3.9%. They affect the female fertility and embryo implantation rates after the assisted reproductive treatments. Although most of the uterine myomas are asymptomatic during pregnancy, seldom they lead to the various complications that harm the pregnancy. Henceforth it is advisable to diagnose the uterine myomas at early stages. Three-dimensional ultrasonography is excellent equipment producing high-resolution images in different panels. It is easily accessible, cost-effective and offers benefits for early diagnosis of uterine anomalies. In this case report, we emphasized on the early diagnosis of the uterine fibroid associated pregnancy that enabled the physician to manage the pregnancy without complications.

Authors: S. Pramod , Vani Katragadda Satya
Published: April 2018

Ovarian tumors are commonly seen in adults and rare in children. Incidence in children is about 2.6 cases per 1,00,000 girls. Most common ovarian mass in children is benign functional cyst. Epithelial tumors account for 8-10% of ovarian tumors. Most common epithelial tumor is Cystadenoma. Mucinous cystadenoma occurs in 3rd -6th decade of life. We report a 10-year-old Premenarchal girl presenting with abdominal distension and discomfort. On examination the entire abdomen was occupied by a firm mass. CT imaging showed a large multiloculated cystic lesion arising from the right ovary. The child underwent right salphingo-oophrectomy. The biopsy of mass was suggestive of benign mucinous cystadenoma. The child is on regular follow up. At 1 year follow up child is doing well.

Authors: Subha S. S. , Dhanapal Mohana , . Aiswary
Published: April 2018

BACKGROUND:Neurosurgical disorders are a significant cause of non-obstetric death and disability in pregnant women. They pose a unique therapeutic challenge. The changes in normal physiology during pregnancy add to the complexity of management. The common conditions encountered are intracranial hemorrhage, tumours, trauma and spinal pathologies. It is preferrable to wait until the third trimester if the indication is semi-elective.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Here we present a prospective study of four cases , managed with neurosurgery in pregnancy and puerperium.RESULTS: Of the 4 cases two cases were craniotomy done for cortical vein thrombosis and two cases of excision of space occupying lesions.  CONCLUSIONS: Pregnancy itself should not be considered a contra-indication to neurosurgery, which when considered early in some patients, proves to be life-saving.
Perceived severity of diabetes and associated factors among patients attending a referral hospital in Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Authors: Onu Roseline , Babatunde Seye
Published: April 2018

Background: Nigeria has recorded a rising profile of diabetes in recent times due to urbanization and transition to westernized lifestyles. Perceived severity, the extent to which people deem their ailment to be severe, is an attitudinal construct that partly explains how likely people would modify their health behaviours. The study aimed to determine the level and associated factors influencing perceived severity among type 2 diabetes patients in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 119 adults at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital. They responded to a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire that included a 7-item scale on perceived severity, and socio-demographic and medical-related characteristics.Results: The mean age was 56.84 ± 11.51 years; 42.0% were males and 58.0% females. Mean diabetes duration was 7.60±5.58 years and 48.7% reported hypertension as a co-morbidity. About half (56.3%) had low Perceived Severity Score (mean score<3) versus 43.7% with high Perceived Severity Score (c2=3.782, p=0.052). Sex, employment status, religion, duration of diabetes and presence of co-morbidity appeared to show an inverse relationship with perceived severity, however there was no valid association (p>0.05).Conclusions: This study revealed an equal prevalence of low and high perceived severity of diabetes. Findings suggested that an unemployed Christian female with over 5 years’ diabetes history and no co-existing illness was likely to have a low perceived severity. We recommend further studies to examine other attitudinal constructs, beyond perceived severity, for better understanding of beliefs underpinning the health behavior of diabetes patients in different settings.

Authors: Desikan Kalyani
Published: May 2018

Cosmological models with linearly varying deceleration parameter in the cosmological theory based on Lyra’s geometry have been discussed. Exact solutions have been obtained for a spatially flat FRW model by considering a time dependent displacement field. We have also obtained the time periods during which the universe undergoes decelerated and accelerated expansions for a matter-dominated universe.
