Awareness among Women Regarding Musculoskeletal Disorders and Role of Physical Activity
Authors: Rajeshbhai Modi Mahima , M. Patel Amit
Published: March 2022

Background: Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is very common in both developed and developing countries with estimate of prevalence ranging from 11-60%. In India, prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) was 60% to 100% in selected housewives. Women are also at high risk of developing MSDs as they also do several works at home or working place or at both in which many works include high repetitions, awkward posture, strenuous activity. So, many extrinsic and intrinsic factors combine together and results in MSDs. Movement associated with a structured and planned type of physical activity i.e. exercise, increases an individual’s strength, flexibility, and endurance, which eventually improves postural control, the capacity to resist muscle fatigue, muscle recuperation time, and everyday performance. Physical fitness and exercise have been recommended for lowering WRMSD risk and to improve muscular capabilities and efficiency.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out awareness among Indian women regarding the MSDs and role of Physical activity.
Method: The study design was a cross-sectional study. A self-administered questionnaire was prepared, it consisted of 12 questions. Questionnaire was disseminated to women through online communication system with attached link. 100 women (age group 20-50years) took part in the survey. The data was analyzed by using Microsoft Excel 2019.
Results: From the 100 respondents 41 were housewives and 59 were working women. Awareness among women on MSDs was 68% and about role of Physical activity was 85.75%.80% women were doing regular 20-30minutes physical activity.
Conclusion: More than half of women were aware about MSDs where as in good amount women having knowledge about the role of Physical activity. Result showed that awareness among housewives compare to working women is poor to fair and good amount of working women think that physical activity can prevent MSDs and are performing physical activity on daily basis as compare to housewives.

Published: March 2022

Aim: A descriptive study was conducted to assess the perception of nursing students towards spiritual care in a selected college of nursing in Ernakulum District, Kerala. Background: In order for nursing education to prepare nurses for holistic patient care, it is critical that educators become more aware of the religious and spiritual dimensions in patient care and be able to provide adequate knowledge and skills for nurses to offer spiritually- based care in an ethical way. Furthermore, spiritual care is an essential component in the nursing context, as nurses have to care for patients who may often turn to the spiritual dimension to cope and heal. These aspects are important issues to be considered in planning what should be taught as part of spiritual care. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess the spirituality and perception towards spiritual care among nursing students and to assess the relationship between the same. Methods: A Descriptive analytical study was conducted among 129 BSc Nursing students studying in a Nursing College attached to a Medical College Hospital of South India. Convenience sampling technique was adopted for the study. Spirituality assessment scale and Nursing Spiritual Care Perspective Scale (NSCPS) were used to collect the data. Pilot study was conducted and the study was found to be feasible. Permission from the authorities was obtained and data collection was done. The data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics and R software used for the analysis. Results: The study revealed that there was a statistically significant mild positive correlation between spirituality and nurse’s perception towards spiritual care (r=0.23, p and lt;0.01). Conclusion: Spirituality is a significant concept for the discipline of nursing with profound consequences for caring patients. Spirituality is an important aspect of holistic care. This study identified that there is a significant mild positive correlation between spirituality and spiritual care. The study found that nurses were very accepting of the need for spiritual care as part of their nursing role but that nursing education had not paid adequate attention to integrating this dimension into the nursing curriculum.

On Generalization and Computation of Tukey's Depth: Part II
Authors: She Yiyuan , Tang Shao , Liu Jingze
Published: March 2022

This paper studies how to generalize Tukey's depth to problems defined in a restricted space that may be curved or have boundaries, and to problems with a nondifferentiable objective. First, using a manifold approach, we propose a broad class of Riemannian

depth for smooth problems defined on a Riemannian manifold, and showcase its applications in spherical data analysis, principal component analysis, and multivariate orthogonal regression. Moreover, for nonsmooth problems, we introduce additional slack variables and inequality constraints to define a novel slacked data depth, which can perform center-outward rankings of estimators arising from sparse learning and reduced rank regression. Real data examples illustrate the usefulness of some proposed data depths.

Chaucer’s Retraction: Examining the Case for Disavowal
Authors: Herman Jason
Published: March 2022

Chaucer’s Retraction, which concludes both the Parson’s Tale and the Canterbury Tales in most manuscripts, presents a number of interpretive problems. Many of these problems stem from the widespread assumption that, as its (editorially supplied) title asserts, the Retraction constitutes a retraction or disavowal of Chaucer’s literary corpus. But on what basis do we assume that the work we know as the Retraction does in fact constitute a retraction or disavowal? This article examines the evidence for the presence of a disavowal, arriving at the conclusion that the element of disavowal has been overestimated. Editorial conventions that have persisted into our modern editions, some of which date to the earliest manuscripts, have the effect of not only creating the distinct work we know as the Retraction, but of subtly smoothing over many of the most vexing problems presented by the text in favor of a reading that highlights Chaucer’s supposed disavowal.
When Is an Ancient Site a Sacred Site (and Who Makes It One)?
Authors: Hutton Ronald
Published: March 2022

Britain has one of the richest collections of evidence for pre-Christian religions to be found anywhere in Europe. During the twentieth century it developed a body of historians and archaeologists to interpret that evidence and heritage managers to present it. During the same century Britain was also the birthplace of a revived Paganism, consisting of a complex of modern religions inspired by the pre-Christian past, which has spread across much of the Western world. Towards the end of the twentieth century, the two bodies of people increasingly interacted with each other, in contexts of both co-operation and confrontation, complicated in each case by the range of attitudes found within each group as well as those distinguishing them. The purpose of this study is to examine these interactions in the specific context of use of and attitudes to ancient ceremonial sites, and to ask what lessons can be drawn from them.

An unusual case of acute kidney injury caused by obstructive uropathy revealing gastric cancer
Authors: Boubaker Karima , Alkadi Mohamad , Fitouri Omar , Ali Rahil Ali Ibrahim , Al Malki Hassen
Published: March 2022

Acute kidney injury is a common complication in patients with cancer. Obstructive uropathy is a rare complication of gastric cancer and occurs mainly during treatment. Moreover, obstructive uropathy is rarely complicated by acute renal injury and thus requires emergency treatment. We report a rare case of anuric acute kidney injury that was actually obstructive uropathy secondary to gastric adenocarcinoma. Based on this case and literature review, malignancy should be considered in any patient not known to have cancer who presents with acute kidney injury caused by obstructive uropathy. This presentation reflects an advanced stage of malignancy. Non-enhanced computed tomography is valuable and should be the initial imaging study for diagnosing the obstruction and its cause. Early diagnosis and relief of the obstruction are associated with better recovery of the renal function.
Benign Multicystic Peritoneal Mesothelioma Presents as a Tumor in an Elderly Man: An Uncommon Diagnosis
Authors: Askar Ahmet , Erginoz Ergin , Hanım Yavuz Ayse , Durgun Vedat
Published: March 2022

Background: Mesotheliomas are benign masses that can arise from any body parts that contain mesothelium, such as the abdominal, pelvic, pleural, and pericardial cavities. Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma is a cystic tumor that arises from peritoneal mesothelial cells. It is a rare pathological entity, as only fewer than 200 cases have been reported. Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma mainly occurs in women, and it is extremely rare in men. Its diagnosis and management are often challenging.

Case presentation: This report demonstrates a case of a 61-year-old man who presented to the outpatient clinic with persistent abdominal discomfort that progressed over the years. He had visited different clinics and was referred to a gastroenterologist because of a misdiagnosis. After an extensive clinical evaluation, we failed to provide a definitive diagnosis; thus, diagnostic laparotomy for possible intra-abdominal malignancy was performed. After successful surgical resection of the lesions, the pathology was found compatible with benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma.

Conclusion: Given its high recurrence rates and potential malignant transformation, meticulous and detailed surgical excision of the cystic lesions is of utmost importance to avoid repeated surgeries. Long-term follow-up is recommended.
A Rare Case of Anti-HMGCR and Anti-SRP-Positive Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy
Authors: Khan Nariman , Kazmi Zehra
Published: March 2022

Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) or necrotizing autoimmune myopathy includes a set of distinct disorders associated with marked myasthenia, myofiber necrosis, and high creatine kinase levels. Anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (anti-HMGCR) and anti-signal recognition particle (anti-SRP) are the two main autoantibodies associated with IMNM. Anti-HMGCR is usually associated with statin use. However, it may also be discovered in children without previous statin exposure, suggesting the existence of a complex genetic–environmental relationship in disease pathogenesis. Anti-SRP IMNM tends to present with more severe disease distinguished by pronounced myasthenia, worse neurologic outcomes, and treatment refractoriness. Its pathogenesis is also unknown; however, preliminary data suggest an antibody–complement-mediated mechanism of muscle cell lysis. Herein, we present the case of a 63-year-old man diagnosed with anti-HMGCR- and anti-SRP-positive IMNM that was treated with multiple immunosuppressants resulting in clinical improvement.
Scapular Fractures at a Level 1 Trauma Center: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Kayali Hammam , Ahmed Abdulaziz F. , Ibrahim Talal
Published: March 2022

Purpose: Scapular fractures are uncommon injuries that account for up to 1% of all fractures and 5% of all shoulder girdle fractures. Moreover, most of the evidence on the treatment of scapular fractures stems from case series, with paucity of comparative studies. Despite the lack of standardized criteria for the operative treatment of scapular fractures, a set of suggested radiological parameters has been recently reported. The primary aim of this study was to compare the treatment implemented for scapular fractures in comparison with standard published criteria. The secondary aim was to investigate epidemiological parameters of scapular fractures at a level 1 trauma center.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study of scapular fractures at a level 1 trauma center, data were collected between December 2012 and January 2016. Data of all scapular fractures that presented to our center were retrospectively collected through electronic medical records. Identified cases of scapular fractures were then evaluated whether surgical treatment was indicated in accordance with recent standard operative criteria. Percentages were used to express the number of cases that were operatively indicated according to the predefined criteria and the number of cases operatively treated at our institution.

Results: A total of 52 patients met the inclusion criteria of having scapular fractures documented on radiography and Computed tomography (CT). The mean age of the patients was 38.5 years, with the majority being men (92.3%). The most common mechanism of injury was a fall from a considerable height in 26% of the cases. Of the included patients, 53.8% were polytraumatized, and the most frequent concomitant traumatic injury was rib fractures (26.9%). Only 33% of intra-articular glenoid fractures with significant displacement were treated operatively. Furthermore, non-operative treatment was undertaken in indicated extra-articular scapular body and neck fractures, acromion or coracoid process fractures, or superior shoulder suspensory complex double disruptions.

Conclusion: A significant discrepancy was found between the treatments implemented at our institution and the current standard criteria for the operative treatment of scapular fractures. This study emphasizes the need to educate surgeons on scapular fractures and to treat such fractures in accordance with standard published criteria. Furthermore, scapular fractures that require surgery should be referred to a surgeon experienced in scapular fracture fixation.

Published: March 2022

Health problems in the 21st century are generally caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, hypertension, cancer, diabetes mellitus and obesity that hit many countries, especially in developing economies. This also happened to Civil Servants at the National Police (CSNP) so that it resulted in a decrease in the number of personnel in the Indonesian National Police (Polri) agencies who died during their service (early death) and had implications for the ideal number of future Police. The purpose of this study is to elaborate and evaluate the health service program for CSNP in order to answer the challenges of developing superior human resources in the Polri environment. The method used is to conduct an exploratory analysis of the annual report data of Polri personnel, followed by a qualitative study (phenomenological method) to obtain information about the lifestyle of CSNP who died during their service due to NCDS. The results showed that CSNP who experienced premature death in the 2015 to 2020 range reached 977 to 1700 people every year, and the trend continued to increase.
Overview of the Near-Ground Propagation Mechanisms in Wireless Communication: Is the Norton Surface Wave Significant?
Authors:   Texas A&M University, College Station,, Michalski Krzysztof A , Mosig Juan R. ,   École Polytechnique Fe´de´ rale de Lausanne
Published: March 2022

In this paper we re-examine the solution of the century-old Sommerfeld problem of a vertical Hertzian dipole radiating over planar ground, in the context of high-frequency applications, where the media losses are relatively small. To gain more insight into the near-ground wireless propagation mechanisms, we derive the asymptotic field of a dipole above a half-space by the modified saddle-point method carried out to the second order in the inverse radial distance, paying particular attention to the Norton surface wave and its significance in the total field of the dipole. We illustrate and validate the theoretical developments by numerical results involving various transmitter-receiver configurations of interest and different lower half-space media, including seawater and urban ground. We also briefly review the history of this problem and the most pertinent literature, addressing certain lingering controversies and correcting some recent misconceptions.

Objective: Global herbal products howbeit have enormous potential as natural drugs and are of vast commercial significance, are often processed and procured without being scientifically evaluated for their toxicity. This study evaluated the toxicological effects of Guiera senegalensis on wistar rats.
Method: An acute toxicity was carried out to determine the LD50 of Guiera senegalensis stem bark extract. Sub-acute toxicity was carried out to determine the effect of the plant extract on some liver and kidney function parameters and haematological parameters. Twenty (20) rats were ramdomly placed into 4 groups of 5 rats. Group 2, 3 and 4 were orally treated with aqueous stem bark extract of Guiera senegalensis at a daily dose of 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg body weight (b.wt.) respectively for 28 days while group 1 served as a control group.
Results: ALT, AST, ALP and bilirubin levels increased significantly as dose increases. No significant increase in K+ and urea was observed in group 2 and 3 treated with 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg respectively. However, significant increase was observed in group 4 treated with 800 mg/kg. Na+ and Creatinine showed significant increase when compared with control group. RBC, PCV, and Hb decreased significantly whereas a significant increase was observed in WBC with increase in dose respectively.
Conclusion: The aqueous stem bark extract of Guiera senegalensis have a dose-dependent toxic effect on liver, kidney and haematology of wistar rats.
Key words: Toxicological Evaluation, Guiera Senegalensis, Liver, Kidney, Haematological parameters
