This work aims to address a critical analysis of the current situation of the Mexican economy in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, considering the main economic effects that somehow fall on the population most vulnerable to poverty, observing a very discouraging scenario, which shows is its macroeconomic indicators a great contraction of the country's economy. The health emergency exerts a very accentuated pressure on the economy every day, directly affects family income, the unemployment rate grows when companies find it necessary not to hire staff, as they do not have the profits generated by their sales, and In this way, generating jobs that somehow provide for the satisfaction of the minimum needs of the family, in addition to this, schools also contribute when closing their doors in order to contain the pandemic, causes families to have the need for new purchases technology which implies for many large expenses thus minimizing your family income. In addition to the fact that the majority of service establishments, tourism, cultural, religious, social in general, maintain a healthy distance or stop providing services, which further deepens the collapse of the Mexican economy by 2020.
The fair value of the innovation. A proposal for determine it
Authors: Ramírez-Barajas Alejandro , Carmona-García Nélida , Almanza-Serrano Ma. Leticia
Published: May 2021

According to the NIF Financial Reporting Standards, fair value represents the exit price that, at the valuation date, would be received for selling an asset or paid for transferring a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. When there is no accessible exchange value of the operation, an estimate must be made using valuation techniques. In other words, fair value is the price at which a tangible or intangible asset is sold / bought between two economic entities on a voluntary basis. Even if there are complications to determine it, it must be estimated by applying valuation techniques. But what happens when the asset object of fair value is not the subject of a transaction between two economic entities? That is, what happens when the asset is the result of an internal generation process of the economic entity, such as an industrial design on which a patent can be generated? How is fair value determined in this case? This article contains the analysis of the concept of fair value contained in the financial information standards and a proposal for its determination in the case of assets generated internally in economic entities as a result of innovation projects, considering for this purpose the valuation technique of the net present value NPV.

Authors: Arroyo-López María del Pilar Ester , Carrete-Lucero Lorena de la Paz , Cárcamo-Solí María de Lourdes , Navarrete-Reynoso Ramón
Published: May 2021

The objective of this work was to explain the intention of purchasing environmentally friendly products from the perspective of the theories of consumer behaviors. This research proposes the concept of green self-identity and the environmental values as the antecedents of the purchase intention of green products. The study applied a quantitative approach. The data of a survey applied to the segment of young consumers was used to provide empirical support to the theoretical model proposed. The results of the study confirm that environmental values are a precedent of the green self-identity, a bi-dimensional concept that mediates the effect of environmental values on the purchase intention of green products. The green self-identity has also a direct effect on the intentions of young consumers to buy more green products. These findings are relevant to firms to promote the development of the green market by inspiriting the green self-identity of young consumers.

Authors: Ramos-Frutos Jorge Armando , Carrillo-Hernández Didia , Blanco-Miranda Alan David , García-Cervantes Heraclio
Published: May 2021

Scheduling activities in flow shops involves generating a sequence in which the jobs must be processed. To generate the sequence, some criteria are taken into account, such as the completion time of all the jobs, delay time in delivery, idle time, cost of processing the jobs, work in process, among others. In this case, completion time of all jobs and idle time are taken as the objective function. To generate the sequence, a Memetic Algorithm (MA) is used that combines Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) to solve the problem. A permutation type decoding was used for the vectors that make up the MA population. The SA was used for the generation of the initial population. Selection, recombination and mutation processes are generated in a similar way to GA. In this case there are 6 parameters to be set; temperature, z parameter, recombination probability, mutation probability, cycles and initial population. To set these parameters, the Response Surface Methodology is used for two objectives. Achieving improvements in the algorithm result of at least 2%. These results help to minimize processing times which impacts with the economics of the enterprise. Using the MA in an interface that helps the user to make a decisión about the Schedule of the Jobs.

Published: May 2021

Antimicrobial resistance is a great concern in public health. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain new compounds to treat diseases caused by bacteria. Medicinal plants are an alternative to search natural compounds to improve human health, including antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobials compounds. Costus pulverulentus (Costaceae) C. Presl is a plant used traditionally in Huasteca Potosina to treat bacterial infections. However, the compounds involved in this activity remain poorly understood. To determine the antibacterial activity of C. pulverulentus, an ethanolic extract was obtained. Plant stem was macerated in ethanol and then was fractionated with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, ethanol, and methanol. Ethanolic extract and derived fractions were tested against bacteria by the disk-diffusion agar method. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of C. pulverulentus exerted activity against Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 and Bacillus sp. at 10 and 30 μg/disk, whereas only the methanolic fraction showed similar activity to complete extract. Fraction 8 obtained from methanolic fraction showed inhibitory activity against Bacillus sp., S. aureus, and S. aureus Oxacillin resistant. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry characterization of active fraction 8 showed that it contains vanillic acid and pcoumaric acid suggesting that they are involved in the antibacterial activity of C. pulverulentus.
SVM en paralelo para optimizar el tiempo de respuesta en la predicción de co-receptores de los virus R5, X4 Y R5X4 (mutado) que causan el Sida (VIH-1) en células CD4
Authors: Medina-Veloz Gricelda , Luna-Rosas Francisco Javier , Martínez-Valadez Kelly Carolina , Tavarez-Avendaño Juan Felipe
Published: May 2021

In particular, the R5 HIV-1 viruses use CCR5 as co-receptor for the virus entrance, the X4 virus HIV-1 use the CXCR4, while some strange viruses known as R5X4 or D-tropic, have the ability to use both co-receptors. The X4 and R5X4 viruses are associated with rapid progress in HIV-1. In this article a series of experiments will be carried out to implement a Supervised Learning Machine in Parallel that allows optimizing the response time in the prediction of co-receptors (CCR5, CXCR4) of the virus that cause AIDS (HIV-1) in CD4 cells. To implement the machine in parallel we will use Snow in R. Snow provides the support to easily execute functions in R in parallel. Most functions in parallel in Snow are variations of the standard lapply () function. To implement the functions in parallel, Snow uses a master / slave architecture where the teacher sends tasks to the workers, and the workers execute the tasks and return the results to the teacheR.

Published: May 2021

The objective of this study is to analyze the behavior of liquid molecules during an evaporation process, a mathematical model is proposed through mass a balance that describes said behavior under steady-state conditions and the variation in composition is analyzed in detail, through a finite space. In order to know the concentration profile, it is necessary to characterize the behavior of the moisture present in the medium as part of the parameters that affect the system, which will at the same time allow knowing the molar composition of the water present in the medium or system of study. Temperature is another of the variables of great importance in the evaporation process, which is why a variation of the concentration profile will occur at different temperatures.
Playing, then and now – differences in time and elements of play from parents’ perspective
Authors: Rajović Ranko , Ković Vanja , Berić Dragana
Published: May 2021

The question how the general trend toward physical inactivity and sedentary behavior affects children’s capabilities and cognitive skills is becoming increasingly important. The aim of this study was to compare children’s play time with parents’ play time at their child’s age, as well as the elements of play. A survey was conducted among parents of children aged 6 to 8 years. The results of the survey, which was based on a sample of 37 parents, showed that a child nowadays spends more time playing at home (110 minutes/day on average compared to the 96 minutes/day their parents played as children) and, conversely, with a statistically significant difference, only half the time their parents did playing outside (96 minutes/day on average compared to the 157 minutes/day on average that their parents spent at the same age). We also found a statistically significant difference in screen time in children today (93 minutes/day on average), which is three times as much as it used to be in their parents at that age. Differences were also evident in activities involving elements of rotation, balance, and dynamic accommodation, with most children now spending 0-15 minutes/day compared to parents who used to spend an hour or more on similar activities. For activities based on fine motor skills, half of the children nowadays spend 15-30 minutes/day, whereas half of the parents used to spend an hour or more. The contemporary lifestyle that is highly sedentary can affect many aspects of children’s play. The paper discusses differences of play in the time dimension and possible consequences of such behavior for child development.

Authors: Stanković Mima , Đorđević Dušan , Zelenović Milan , Božić Danijel
Published: May 2021

Purpose: Physical growth of children is measured by changes in body size and/or body composition, as well as by changes in motor skills. Motor skills can be affected by many factors, such as genetic predisposition, body composition, socio-economic conditions, and the like. Accordingly, the aim of the research is to determine the correlation between body composition with speed and agility of children aged 9 to 10 years.

Methods: The sample included 40 participants (29 boys and 11 girls, 9.47 ± 0.5 years). Body height (BH), body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI) and body fat (BF), and basal metabolism (BMR) were determined to assess body composition. The BOT-2 subtest was used to assess speed and agility, which includes: Shuttle Run (1SAA), Stepping Sideways over a Balance Beam (2SAA), One-Legged Stationary Hop (3SAA), One-Legged Side Hop (4SAA), Two-Legged Side Hop (5SAA), and Total Speed and Agility (TSAA).

Results: The results of correlation statistics indicated the existence of negative correlations between: height and 3SAA (r=-.353, p=.026); weight and 3SAA (r=-.422, p=. 007); weight and TSAA (r=-.359, p=.023); BMI and 3SAA (r=-.342, p=. 031); BMI and TSAA (r=-.333, p=.036); BMR and 3SAA (r=-.369, p=. 019); BMR and TSAA (r=-.363, p=.021).

Conclusion: Based on the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that there is a correlation between body composition and speed and agility. In addition to body composition, a correlation was found between body height and performance of one-legged stationary hop, as well as between basal metabolism, the one-legged stationary hop test and the overall results achieved in motor skill tests.
EDUCATION, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND POST-PANDEMIC IN SPAIN
Authors: Aznar Sánchez Tomás , Rodríguez Elizalde Rubén
Published: May 2021

The health crisis caused by the COVID pandemic-19 has had a profound impact on all areas of human life, and especially in education, with consequences that in many cases can be irreversible, specific in terms of social justice and equity, since the current situation seems to have exacerbated educational inequalities. These inequalities are reflected in the lack of equal opportunities for access, teaching and results, in many cases, as a result of the digital divide that became evident when moving from face-to-face education to a virtual modality. That is why this theoretical and descriptive work conducts a review of literature about social justice in education in Spain with projection towards an immediate post-pandemic future. The analysis of the revised work shows that there are still many outstanding challenges that the Spanish education system faces, but perhaps the most important is to correct or alleviate at least the inequality of educational opportunities, bearing in mind that the digital divide is only another side - the most visible - of inequality.

Resumen

La crisis sanitaria ocasionada por la pandemia de COVID-19 ha impactado profundamente en todos los ámbitos de la vida humana, y muy especialmente en el educativo, con consecuencias que en muchos casos pueden ser irreversibles, especialmente en términos de justicia social y equidad, ya que la situación actual parece haber exacerbado las desigualdades educativas. Esas desigualdades quedan reflejadas en la falta de igualdad de oportunidades de acceso, enseñanza y resultados, en muchos casos, como producto de la brecha digital que se hizo evidente al pasar de una educación presencial a una modalidad virtual. Es por ello que en este trabajo de tipo teórico y descriptivo se realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre el tema de la justicia social en la educación en España con proyección hacia un futuro inmediato de post pandemia. El análisis de los trabajos revisados pone evidencia que quedan aun muchos retos y desafíos pendientes que el sistema educativo español debe afrontar, pero tal vez el más importante es corregir o paliar al menos, la desigualdad de oportunidades educativas, teniendo en cuenta que la brecha digital no es más que otra cara -la más visible- de la desigualdad.

Introduction: Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is the most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction and renal insufciency in male children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presentation, management, challenges, and outcome of the disease in a Western Rajasthan tertiary health institution. Methods: In a retro-prospective study, 26 male children were included from November 2017 to March 2020 at Dr. S.N.Medical college, Jodhpur. Diagnosis was conrmed by voiding cysto-urethrography (VCUG). Results: A total of 26 patients were managed for PUV.The mean age of presentation was 3.45 years with 65.8% of the patients presenting after 1 year. Voiding dysfunction noted in 23(88.4%) patients was the most common presentation. Most common nding on physical examination was palpable bladder 15(57.6%) while UTI noted in 15 (57.6%) patients was most common complication. Abdominal sonography revealed dilated posterior urethra in 10(38.4%) cases, while VCUG revealed a dilated posterior urethra in 19 (75%) cases.The creatinine value at presentation ranged from 0.4-4.5 mg/dl with a mean of 1.10 ± 0.95 mg/dl. Valve ablation with a diathermy bugbee electrode & holmium laser provided relief of obstructions in the 23 (88.4%) patients who underwent the procedure without immediate complication. The period of follow-up ranged between 1 weeks to 2 years with a mean of 8.2 months. There was sustained improvement in urine stream, reduction in the mean creatinine concentration and incidence of UTI during follow-up. Conclusion: Many patients with PUVpresented late within the reviewed period. Valve ablation provided relief of obstruction in most of the cases. Efforts at improving awareness among general population and early diagnosis and referral among the health team should be encouraged. There is a need to counsel parents on the need for long-term follow-up

Introduction: Infections of the lower respiratory tract is one of the common and important causes of human disease from the points of view of
morbidity, mortality and economic cost to society. A new study has found that about 3.6 million people have died due to the two most common
chronic lung diseases in 2015.1 According to the study, in 2015, about 3.2 million people worldwide succumbed to chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) - caused mainly by smoking and pollution - while 400,000 people died from asthma.
Aims And Objective: Study of clinical, laboratory and radiological features of LRTI cases in CCU, Identication of organisms causing LRTI and
their resistance pattern. To study the outcome of treatment.
Materials And Methods: In Patients Department CCU of Carmichael Hospital for Tropical Diseases (CHTD), School of Tropical Medicine
(STM), Kolkata. July 2018 to June 2019 Patients >18 years of age of both sexes with LRTI diagnosed by history, clinical ndings, laboratory tests,
radiological ndings.
Result And Analysis: 11(22.0%) patients had BI LAT lower lobe patchy pneumonitis, 12(24.0%) patients had BI LAT syn pneumonic effusion,
6(12.05) patients had L lower lobe consolidation, 6(12.0%) patients had L sided pneumonitis, 14(28.0%) patients had R sided pneumonitis and
1(2.0%) patient had R upper lobe pneumonitis. 26(52.0%) patients had ventilation. 24(48.0%) patients had sputum. 26(52.0%) patients had ET

Published: May 2021

INTRODUCTION: The Profunda Femoris Artery (PFA) is a large branch arises from the lateral or posterolateral part of the Femoral Artery (FA),
about 3 to 5cm below the inguinal ligament. The PFA is in close proximity to femoral vessels in the femoral triangle the precise anatomical
knowledge of PFA and its branches is of great signicance in preventing profuse haemorrhage, pseudo aneurysms and traumatic AV stulae while
doing any procedures or surgeries in that area.
AIM & OBJECTIVES: To study the anatomical variations in source of origin, site of origin and distance of origin from midpoint of inguinal
ligament of PFA.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present observational study was conducted on the dissection of 70 lower limbs of 35 adult cadavers (27
male & 8 female) in the Department of Anatomy S.V.S Medical College, Mahabubnagar over a period of 2 years. Contents of the femoral triangle
were dissected as per Cunningham's manual. The source of origin, site, distance of origin from mid points of inguinal ligament and course of PFA
were noted. Collected data was analysed statistically.
RESULTS: In the present study the PFA was arising from the femoral artery in all these 70 Lower Limbs. The commonest site of origin of PFA was
postero lateral side of femoral artery in 17 (48.6%) Limbs on right side, 16(45.8%) limbs on left side, followed by lateral side of FA in14(40%)
limbs on right side, 12(34.3%) limbs on left side ,followed by posterior in 4(11.4%) limbs on each side. The PFA was originating from medial side
of FA only in 3 (4.29%) left limbs
The PFA was taking origin below the inguinal ligament most commonly at the distance of 3-4cm in 10(29) limbs on right side, 15(43%) limbs on
left side and at 4-5cm in 8(23%) limbs on right side, 5(14%) limbs on left side, at 2-3cm in 8 (23%) limbs on right side, 6(17%) limbs on left side, at
5-7cm in 3(8.5%) limbs on right in 1 (3%) limbs on left side.
The PFA was taking origin higher level with in 2cm below the midpoint of inguinal ligament in 6 (17%) limbs on right side, 8(23%) limbs on left
side.
CONCLUSIONS: The knowledge of site and level of origin of Profundafemoris artery helps in avoiding the formation of iatrogenic femoral
arteriovenous stula (0.1-1.5%) while performing femoral artery puncture during femoral puncture, cardiac catheterisation and radiological
procedures
“ROLE OF FNAC IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF SALIVARY GLAND LESION”
Authors: Qureishi Rifat , Usmani M.H. , Singh U.R. , Kol P.C.
Published: May 2021

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has been used for diagnosis of salivary gland lesions for many years. Various studies in the
existing literature have shown a wide range of sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of cytologic diagnosis. FNAC is a safe, simple, cost effective,
1-4 accurate and minimal invasive procedure for the evaluation of salivary gland lesions. FNAC is not only useful in planning denitive preoperative
2,5-6 diagnosis but also can prevent unnecessary surgical intervention. Salivary gland swelling occur more commonly in 3rd decade of life with equal
sex incidence. Parotid is one of the most commonly involved glands in the head & neck region swellings. FNAC appears to be highly sensitive for
benign tumours and highly specic for malignant tumors and it should be the rst line of investigation in evaluating the salivary gland pathologies.

Early diagnosis and appropriate management carries good prognosis. Methods: Patients with suspected salivary gland enlargements, referred for
FNAC, were included in this study. FNAC was performed by using the standard procedure. Cytologic diagnosis was compared with
histopathologic diagnosis wherever it was available. Results: In the present study conducted in the department of pathology, Shyam Shah Medical
College Rewa MP, over a period of 5 years, 152 Patients with suspected salivary gland enlargements were retrospectively appraised. The benign
lesions of salivary gland were 133 (87.5%), out of which Pleomorphic adenoma was diagnosed in 75 (56.39%) cases, clinical correlation was found
in 58 (77.33%) cases. 29 cases were subsequently correlated with histopathological examination 26 correctly correlated and the diagnostic
accuracy of FNAC was found to be 89.65%. Inammatory lesions were proved correct in 08 out of 10 cases after histopathology. Therefore,
accuracy of FNAC was 80.0%. Malignant lesions of salivary gland were found in 19 cases, out of which 15 (78.94%) cases correlated with clinical
diagnosis. 13 cases were subjected to histopathology 10 correctly correlated and the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC was found to be 76.92%. Overall
diagnostic accuracy of FNAC was 84.61%. Conclusion:In conclusions it can be established that FNAC is an efcient and accurate procedure with
high sensitivity index, and its usefulness is enhanced due to it being a relatively easy procedure which can be carried out even on outdoor patients.

Introduction: Accidental kerosene poisoning in pediatric age group is still a common problem in India. It causes considerable morbidity and
occasional mortality. The objective of our study is to determine the pattern and severity of kerosene poisoning cases presenting to our emergency
department and to discuss the various risk factors heralding adverse outcome.
Methodology: Data were collected over a period of three years from 1..3.2017-29.2.2020.Atotal 75 children were studied. A detailed history was
taken using the proforma having special reference to age, sex, seasonal inuence and thorough clinical examination was carried out including
anthropometry, general and systemic details and data were compiled and subjected to statistical analysis with the help of spss software.
Results: Among 75 children with acute kerosene poisoning majority were I the toddler age group accounting to 93.33%. Males outnumbered the
females with male female ratio 1.52:1.Seasonal preponderance were noted in the month of March to June followed by second peaking in the month
of October and November. The casualties mostly took place in the own domestic premises. Potentially harmful habits of keeping kerosene in water
storing bottles within the reach of the children were practiced by most of the householders.The most common clinical presentations were
fever(93%), cough(90%) and vomiting (85%).Pneumonitis occurred in 31 patients and CNS involvement could be documented in three only. Mean
Hospital stay were of three days. All patients improved except two died. Severe Protein energy Malnutrition, presence of complications and
prolonged hospital staywere associated with adverse outcome. Extensive radiological ndngs in CXR 6 hours after the ingestion showed
signicant coorelation with prolonged hospital stay

Abhrak bhasma (AB) is a type of bhasma prepared from repeated incineration of mineral mica with decoctions of about 72 herbs. The particle size
of Abhrak bhasm has been shown to be in the range of 29-88 nanometers and Fe, Ca, Si, Mg and K are found to be as major constituent. Many drugs
developed to treat Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders are unable to reach the brain parenchyma in therapeutically relevant concentrations.
The blood brain barrier protects brain parenchyma from the uctuation of plasma composition, from pathogenic agents and maintains homeostasis
of the brain parenchyma by restricting non-specic ux of ions, peptides, proteins and even cells into and out the brain. Immunohistochemistry is
being widely employed as a tool for biological studies. This study is conducted to examine the change in the continuity of Blood brain barrier by
using immunohistochemistry, once Abhrak bhasm drug is given in experimental animal and also to examine the histology of organs. In this study a
total of 30 adult albino Wistar rats of approximately 4 months age (approx. 150-200 gms) of either sex selected randomly to see the effect of Abhrak
bhasm, an ayurvedic drug on Wistar rats. The rats were weighed, marked and divided into 5 groups each consisting of six animals. In normal control
group (Group E), no drug was administered and in rest of the four treated groups (Group-A,B,C,D), Abhrak bhasm @ 36 mg/kg B.wt. was
administered orally once in each rat. Brain, liver, kidneys,spleen and blood samples were collected in 10% formalin solution after euthanizing the
rats at 0.5,2,6 & 12 hours of Abhrak bhasma drug intervention. The alterations in any of the biochemical parameters are within the tolerable limits
of liver and kidney since the dose of abhrak bhasm did not affect liver and kidneys. In the present study, the increase in ALP level may be the result
of alterations in metabolisms that occurred without any signicant alteration in histology of liver. After applying the immunohistochemistry with
the research markers GFAP, CD 34, S 100, GLUT-1 and RECA-1 on the rats in groups A,B,C and D, there was no change in the intensity of
immunohistochemistry, with respect to control. While on applying the Occludin, the intensity of immunohistochemistry was reduced in all the
treatment groups as compared to the control group. On the basis of ndings of present study it can be concluded that the therapeutic dose of Abhrak
bhasma causes changes at the level of tight junctions present in blood brain barrier in rats which is shown by immunohistochemistry with occludin
research marker. There is no toxic effect of drug on different organs of rats as no signicant changes in histology of organs are seen. More studies
need to be done to check the permeability of blood brain barrier for Abhrak bhasma drug, like calculating its concentration in brain tissues and other
vital organs of rat.

Published: May 2021

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efcacy of Etoricoxib in different doses in postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing lumbar
spine surgery. MATERIALAND METHOD : 80 patients of ASA grade І & ІІ of either sex scheduled for lumbar spine surgery under general
anaesthesia were divided into 2 groups (n=40 each) randomly.Group E (n=40) Patients who received a 90 mg Etoricoxib 1 hour before surgery and
another tablet the following morning. Group 'P'(n=40) Patients who received a placebo tablet 1 hour before surgery and again the following
morning. Pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and severity of pain on NRS scale was noted at 0 hr, 4 hr, 8 hr, 12 hr, 16 hr, 20 hr, 24 hr, 28 hr, 32
hr and 48 hr after surgery. And the presence or absence of adverse effects, such as headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and drowsiness were
noted. RESULT:Analysis revealed that time for rst analgesic requirement was signicantly longer with oral Etoricoxib 90 mg than with placebo.
Pre-emptive oral Etoricoxib 90 mg decreases the severity of pain postoperatively but not signicantly as compared to placebo in patients posted for
lumbar spine surgery under general anaesthesia. Oral Etoricoxib 90 mg had no signicant effect on cardiovascular and respiratory parameters.
Patients receiving Etoricoxib had higher incidence of nausea, vomiting. CONCLUSION: that time for rst analgesic requirement was
signicantly longer with oral Etoricoxib than placebo.

Published: May 2021

Introduction: Pleural effusion is one of the common clinical disorders encountered in the medical wards. In a patient with pleural effusion
diagnosis can be arrived by history, clinical examination and radiological techniques. Pleural effusion is collection of uid in intrapleural space and
manifestation of several diseases, both pulmonary and extra pulmonary, often isolated 1. Based on the underlying pathological abnormality and
mechanism of formation, effusion may be either transudative or exudative. To nd out etiology, rst step is to differentiate whether the pleural
effusion is of exudate or transudate type. Etiology of pleural effusions differ in different parts of the world.
Aims And Objectives: The study is conducted to compare between pleural uid cholesterol and Light's criteria for differentiation of transudative
and exudative pleural effusion. The sensitivity and specicity of pleural uid cholesterol estimation as an independent biochemical marker in
exudative pleural effusion.
Methodology: The present work was conducted in the N.R.S. Medical College and Hospital Kolkata(Department of GENERAL MEDICINE ).
Study was done from February 2018 to 1st May 2019 i.e., through one year and three month period. 70 patients both male and female Patients
admitted in N.R.S MEDICALCOLLEGE with symptoms suggestive of pleural effusion.
Result And Analysis: Our study showed that mean serum protein level in tuberculous effusion patients is 6.322 gm/dl. In Para pneumonic effusion
cases mean serum protein level is 6.867 gm/dl. Mean serum Protein level in transudative effusion cases is 6.923 gm/dl. In patients with malignant
effusion, the mean serum protein level is 6.492 gm. /dl. In empyema patients, mean serum protein level is
Summary: Pleural effusion develops in a variety of illnesses. Based on the underlying pathology and mechanism of formation, effusions may be
either transudates or exudates. Analysis of pleural effusion is an important diagnostic step to guide further investigations and treatment.
Conclusion: Pleural uid cholesterol with a cut-off value of >55 mg/dL is better than Light's criteria in the differentiation of exudative pleural
effusions. The sensitivity and specicity of differentiation can be improved by combining pleural uid protein with pleural uid cholesterol. Both
these criteria are cost effective than the Light's criteria because it does not require a simultaneous blood sampling for differentiation. So in a country
like India where there is maximum nancial constraints, it will be helpful for rural and urban poor patients. In resource-limited settings, pleural
uid cholesterol can replace Light's criteria for classication of pleural effusion
