Authors: GÜNGÖR ERTUĞRAL Tuğba
Published: June 2021

Bread and especially wheat bread as the basic food of society is one of indispensable food sources of human nutrition. Color browning (caramelization) occurring in bakery products as a result of heat treatment is an important indicator of Maillard reaction (MR). As bread types, francala bread, grissini, rusk and traditional oven-dry bread were examined. Antioxidant substances as a result of MR in bread crust have an important place in preventing colon cancer for terms of human health. In this study, hue angle (H), chroma (C) and Browning index (BI) tests were applied due to caramelization by taking samples from crust parts of some bread types made from wheat flour. Amount of antioxidant substance formed was determined by 2, 2-diphenylpicrilhydrazil (DPPH) and total phenolic substance determination (TFM) methods. The total amount of phenolic substances in study were measured as 123-125 mg GAE / 100g for francala bread crusts, 73-115 mg GAE / 100g at rusk, 41-73 mg GAE / 100g at oven-dry and 74-104 mg GAE / 100g at grissini bread. DPPH is the highest values; 16.64% in oven-dry bread, 38.2% in rusk, 18% in grissini bread and 46% in francala bread. BI value has been measured between 56-127 and it was observed that amount of antioxidant substance in bread crusts increased by caramelization.

levels of Vitamin D, factors responsible for hypovitaminosis D, alteration in the levels of biochemical parameters and
their correlation with hip fractures in 50 patients above 60 years was evaluated. Serum vitamin D2, Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and related
biochemical parameters were evaluated. Mean age for hip fractures was 69.36 ± 5.13 years. Females (62.00%) outnumbered males (38.00%) with
fall at home being the commonest mode of injury (62.00%). Malnutrition (36.00%), Alcoholism (24.00%), Drug intake (14.00%), Smoking
(12.00%), Diabetes Mellitus (38.00%), deranged liver function (22.00%) and renal function (12.00%) were the risk factors associated with
hypovitaminosis D. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (64.00%) also came out to be an important marker for geriatric hip fractures. Osteopenia
(38.00%) and Osteoporosis (28.00%) as measured by BMD was another important association. Higher age group, urban living, inactive lifestyle,
various risk factors and comorbidities contribute to hypovitaminosis D.
FIRE TRAID: KEEPING THE LEGS APART

Published: June 2021

Fires in the Operating Room are more of a danger today as it was in past where cyclopropane or ether was usedbecause we
now routinely use electrosurgical cautery in presence of fuel rich sources and oxidizers (air, oxygen and nitrous oxide).
Now, with laser surgeries reaching more rapidly to our intuitionsthis risk is getting even larger. The effect of endotracheal tube being ignited while
being ventilated by Oxygen and Nitrous oxide which essentially emit a blow torch is catastrophic. Although laparoscopic surgeries are done with
carbon dioxide insufation which doesn’t support combustion, nitrous oxide diffuses intraabdominally and it gets easily mixed with bowel gases
(methane and hydrogen) which can be ignited by cautery. These are a few examples of numerous sources of res in our OR.

OBJECTIVE:The goal of this study is to predict the long term LV function in RV apical paced patients.
BACKGROUND:We have used the GLS measured by 2D STE, as a tool to predict the patients who are at high risk of
developing pacing induced LV dysfunction (PIVD) or pacing induced cardiomyopathy (PCMP).
METHOD: A prospective study conducted in the cardiology department of Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai, including 47 patients of AV
block or sinus node dysfunction with preserved ejection fraction undergoing RV apical pacing. This study population was followed up with serial
trans thoracic 2D echocardiography with GLS by STE for a period of 12 months for the development of PIVD (PCMP).
RESULTS: Of the study population, 42.5% (n=20) developed PIVD at 12 months and these patients had a signicant fall in their GLS values at
one month post pacing. (GLS -16.94% vs -17.60%; p=0.02).
CONCLUSION: GLS, a novel echocardiographic parameter can be used as a tool in predicting the decline in ejection fraction following
pacemaker implantation with potential to predict the development of PIVD. GLS at one month post pacing had a high predictive accuracy for
identifying those who developed PIVD later in the follow up.

INTRODUCTION: Spirometry is a vital tool for the assessment of pulmonary function status. Spirometry can be used to demonstrate the age-related decline in pulmonary function. The spirometry values can be used as reference values for a particular age group. The aims of our study was to compare spirometry values between the young and elderly groups and evaluate age-related changes in both groups. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 600 adults, which divided into two healthy groups: one was of young adults (18-35 years), and other was of elderly adults (>60 years) of 300 persons, each taken over a period of one year, in the Department of pulmonary medicine, a tertiary care hospital, Punjab. We conducted spirometry in both age group. Spirometry values were measured FVC, FEV1, FVC/FEV1, PEFR, and FEF25- 75 % of each groups.The subjects were selected based on random sampling RESULT: Spirometry values compared between young and elderly adults. Mean BMI in young and elderly groups was 25.09±2.87 and 25.82±2.45, respectively. Spirometry values in FVC , FEV1, FEV1/FVC , PEFR and FEF25-75% in young was 4.31± 0.18 , 3.84,± 0.88± 0.02, 9.87± 0.38 and 3.75 ±0.26 and elderly age group 3.01±, 2.60 ±0.85± 0.02, 7.70± 0.30 and 2.82 ± 0.26. On statistical analysis, p value <0.001 in all spirometry parameters. CONCLUSION: The study shows that there was a decline in spirometry parameters of healthy adults with the increase in age. This decline was signicant in all spirometric parameters (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEFR, FEF25–75%) measured in the present study

Authors: Peepra Digamber , Naik Sparsh , Varma H S , Kumar Thakur Darwin , Kumar Devesh , Kumar Singh Rajeev
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Treating intertrochanteric fractures in elderly with osteosynthesis is challenging, and is attributed to
multiple factors like poor bone stock, difcult fracture pattern, and non orthopaedic complications arising due to periods
of recumbency associated with internal xation. Hip replacement has come forward as a viable option for treating these cases, but it has its own
share of difculties, such as limb length discrepancy, implant subsidence, long term implant stability and a greater cost. This study aimed at
evaluating the utility if calcar strut grafting in dealing with these issues.
Material And Methods: A total of 30 patients, with age more than 60 years, with comminuted intertrochanteric fractures, with postero-medial
bone deciency, were treated with hemiarthroplasty, with augmentation with calcar strut grafting. The graft was prepared from the calcar region
of the head and neck part of the femur and placed between the decient medial femoral cortex and medial edge of the implant.
Result: In 24 out of the 30 patients, the graft got incorporated at its place without displacement. Shortening was seen in 4 patients, of which 2
reported a shortening of more than 2 centimetres.
Conclusion: We can concludethat hemiarthroplasty has come forward as a viable and safe treatment modality for management of comminuted
inter-trochanteric fractures in elderly patients.Calcar grafting as described here is useful in minimizing the subsidence of the implant and in
maintaining the limb length, it facilitates early rehabilitation and quicker return normal activities

“SELF-MEDICATION FOR PREVENTION OF COVID-19: A CROSSSECTIONAL ONLINE SURVEY AMONG THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN SOUTH INDIA”
Authors: Chellappan Arunima , Susan Jacob Harsha , R Chithra , Lalwani Chirag Sunil , S Nair Anjana
Published: June 2021

Background: Self-medication is a common practice in developing countries and its prevalence is attributed to less
healthcare facilities, reduced economic burden, and easy availability of drugs and local medicines. With the onset of
COVID-19, self-medication has increased due to fear and stigma surrounding the disease and hospitals being considered hotspots of infection.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study and data was collected from 478 participants using a semi-structured, self-reporting online
questionnaire. Responses were tabulated and analysed with the help of SPSS (V25).
Results: The prevalence of self-medication had risen to 84.5% in lieu of the COVID-19 pandemic. 80.8% of all males and 86.6% of all females
who responded to the form used self-medication.
Elderly people were found to have self-medicated the most. 71% of the participants self-medicated as they were anxious about contracting the
disease. 50.2% reported using home remedies. Most frequently used allopathic drugs among the respondents were Vitamins and other dietary
supplements (51.7%). Treatment by self-medication was found effective by 91.6% of the participants.
Conclusion: Self-medication cannot be overlooked as it is most often suitable, cheap and effective. Awareness regarding the proper use of selfmedication is necessary, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic as it can lead to drug interactions, microbial resistance or serious adverse
effects.

Authors: Sahoo Alok , chakraborty pavan
Published: June 2021

Non linear deformation of spring based continuum manipulators cause difficulty in predicting the position of the tip. When we put different tools on the tip for various purposes, the difficulty further increases. Model less control of the manipulator has shown great success in tip positioning of these types of manipulators. One of the major drawbacks of model less control is the requirement of a large data set and time. Hence, this paper studies the effect of the implementation of MAML(Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning) for fast adaptation of different offset conditions. The effects have been studied in the simulation environment and on the real prototype. The continuum arm used for the experimentation is a tendon based non constant curvature spring based manipulator. An average error of 0.03m has been achieved on the prototype. MAML was successful in bringing down the relative tip positioning error of the manipulator from 7.02% to 1.55% in the simulation environment. It also showed success in bringing down the relative tip positioning error from 11.06% to 4.09% on real prototype. We also studied the effectiveness of the same in trajectory following.
Handling Complex Queries Using Query Trees
Authors: Vemuru Srihari , John Eric , Rao Shrisha
Published: June 2021

Humans can easily parse and find answers to complex queries such as "What was the capital of the country of the discoverer of the element which has atomic number 1?" by breaking them up into small pieces, querying these appropriately, and assembling a final answer. However, contemporary search engines lack such capability and fail to handle even slightly complex queries. Search engines process queries by identifying keywords and searching against them in knowledge bases or indexed web pages. The results are, therefore, dependent on the keywords and how well the search engine handles them. In our work, we propose a three-step approach called parsing, tree generation, and querying (PTGQ) for effective searching of larger and more expressive queries of potentially unbounded complexity. PTGQ parses a complex query and constructs a query tree where each node represents a simple query. It then processes the complex query by recursively querying a back-end search engine, going over the corresponding query tree in postorder. Using PTGQ makes sure that the search engine always handles a simpler query containing very few keywords. Results demonstrate that PTGQ can handle queries of much higher complexity than standalone search engines.

Published: June 2021

Se realizó un estudio comparativo entre dos arquitecturas de redes neuronales, InceptionV3 y ResNet50, para determinar cuál es la mejor en la clasificación de la severidad del Virus del Mosaico Dorado en frijol. Para esto, se recolectaron y clasificaron manualmente 3409 imágenes de hojas de frijol. Las muestras se organizaron en dos formas de agrupación, tres categorías (alto, medio y bajo) y dos categorías (alto y bajo). Además, los entrenamientos se realizaron con dos niveles de extracción de características: todas las capas y desde capas intermedias. Los resultados de los entrenamientos sobre los datos distribuidos en tres categorías produjeron modelos con high-bias. Por otro lado, los modelos entrenados sobre el conjunto de datos con dos categorías produjeron las exactitudes más altas sobre el conjunto de pruebas al extraer características desde capas intermedias (ResNet50=96.68% e InceptionV3=94.47%). Con una prueba de McNemar se determinó que la diferencia es estadísticamente significativa a un nivel de significancia del 5%. Por tanto, ResNet50 con extracción de características desde capas intermedias posee la exactitud más alta en la tarea estudiada.

Las universidades están experimentando cambios profundos en la búsqueda de la calidad del aprendizaje, que permita formar profesionales responsables, competentes y comprometidos que la sociedad actual necesita; pero esto, solo es posible desde una nueva concepción del profesor en donde debe adoptar un rol de facilitador. Para esto, es fundamental conocer las competencias que posee e identificar las que debe desarrollar para mejorar la práctica en entornos de aprendizaje con metodologías activas y participativas. Dentro del Centro Universitario de Zacapa -CUNZAC-, por ser un centro de reciente creación (año 2011), cuenta con carreras que aún no han cumplido un ciclo de cierre de pensum, lo que permite deducir que los profesores de la carrera, son también de reciente incorporación al curso que imparten, esto se convierte en un principal fundamento para que previo a invertir esfuerzos en la formación de sus profesores, se determine las competencias que poseen, lo cual será el punto de inicio para contar con profesores que trabajan por competencias y por ende los estudiantes son abordados bajo un proceso educativo participativo, activo e innovador.

Ornithobacteriosis, caused by Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale, belongs to the group of respiratory diseases that are currently one of the main problems in industrial poultry, as it leads to significant economic losses due to reduced productivity in commercial and reproductive herds, poor egg production, as well as reducing growth and increasing the death and culling of poultry, high treatment costs. Diagnosis of infections caused by Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale is often difficult because clinical symptoms and postmortem changes are not specific and can be easily confused with those of other infections. The difficulty also lies in the fact that Ornithobacterium rhino-tracheale can be isolated by bacteriological method only in the early stages of the disease. For effective prevention and treatment of ORT use veterinary medicines (VM), namely: tetracyclines; macrolides - tilmicosin, thiamulin; new generation macrolide – eulosin; semi-synthetic penicillin amoxicillin, amoxiclav; germacap - a mixture of aqueous solutions of citrates of zinc, germanium, silver, made on the basis of modern nanotechnology. In Ukraine, there are 29 names of VM for the treatment of poultry against ORT, consisting of one-, 2 and 3 components, namely: doxycycline hyclate, sarafloxacin hydrochloride, tiamulin, tylvalosin, tilmicosin, fluoropheniol; tilmicosin + bromhexine hydrochloride and gentamicin + fluorophenicol+ doxycycline. .Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is used to control the presence of ornithobacteriosis in poultry. The presence of antibodies to this pathogen in many species of poultry indicates its wide circulation. A total of 82 batches of broilers and 43 batches of laying hens were tested for ELT serum in ELISA. Positive average titers of antibodies to ORT were detected among meat crosses of 24 batches, which is 29.3%, and egg crosses of 35 batches, which is 81.4%, which indicates a wide circulation of ornithobacteria among poultry. When using Eulosin 625 mg / g at a dose of 25 mg / kg orally with water for 5 days for the treatment of ORT broilers found: high therapeutic effect of the medicine – 82 %, increase in average daily gain - by 2.7%, preservation - by 1.4%; and the efficiency index improved by 5.4 %. To successfully control ORT, it is necessary to carry out a set of veterinary and sanitary measures, as well as constant serological monitoring of blood sera from different age groups of poultry and turkeys in ELISA for specific antibodies, indicating its circulation, in order to conduct timely effective antibiotic therapy.
BIOLOGICAL PROPERTY OF THE ECOLOGICAL CULTURES MYCOBACTERIUM VACCAE

Prokaryotes of the genus Mycobacterium occupy an important evolutionary and historical place in the system of microorganisms of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organization in the Earth's biosphere. These are the most ancient microorganisms that have passed a long historical path of mutual adaptation with the evolving biosphere over billions of years. Antiquity of origin is very important in the process of developing a stable and at the same time adaptive genomic apparatus, which provides genetic information support for the very diverse physiological needs of a carrier of a given genotype in the constantly changing conditions of the environment of existence and creating competitive advantages over similar carriers of gene programs in the limited space of a specific ecosystem.

A significant species diversity of prokaryotes of the genus Mycobacterium is a consequence of the wide divergence of the ancestral ancestor species of the sapronous type in the process of soil formation from lithotrophic forms to the highest degree of bioparasitism in the form of highly specialized infectious pathogens with pronounced pathogenicity, invasiveness and the potential ability to take root in an internal macroorganism and an extremely effective antagonist the immune system of supervision over the genetic homeostasis of a macroorganism with a paradigm of tolerance to its genetically own and categorical intolerance to carriers of geneticaly foreign information.

Only a small number of mycobacterial species have adapted to the internal environment of eukaryotic macroorganisms as a result of the suppression of the protective mechanisms of the lymphoid system by pathogenic factors. The path of symbiotic relationships, mutually beneficial interpopulation, turned out to be much more effective. As a result, a dynamic microbial organ arose - the microbiota of the large intestine, inhabited by indigenous and transient microbionts, among which Mycobacterium vaccae occupy an important place.

Ecological strains "K", "N", "Gk", "Gn" of Mycobacterium vaccae were isolated and identified by conventional bacteriological methods. Examined their basic properties. The strains possessed morpho-tinctorial, cultural and biochemical properties characteristic of the species, were apathogenic for laboratory animals when administered parenterally, caused short-term sensitization to mycobacterial antigens and induced antitilogenesis. In broiler chickens on fattening with oral feeding of live culture, they stimulated metabolism, increased weight gain and increased the protective properties of the nonspecific link of the immune reactivity of the macroorganism.

Strains of atypical mycobacteria were isolated on the territory of one poultry farm and had similar biocharacteristics; they are suitable for use as probiotics to increase nonspecific resistance, stimulate the physiological functions of the macroorganism, increase weight gain and improve feed payment.

The article presents the results of histological examination of experimental uveitis in rabbits with the introduction of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells. These research results make it possible to analyze and further study the effects of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells in clinical cases of uveitis in animals.

Uveitis is a symptom of many diseases that lead to slow functional and anatomical death of the eye. Uveitis causes inflammation of the middle (vascular) membrane of the eye, which consists of the choroid, ciliary body and iris. The use of complex therapy often smooths out the clinical picture of progressive intraocular inflammation, contributing to an increase in its latent period. All this with particular relevance points to the need to study the use of stem cells in eye diseases in animals.

Our histological studies on the restoration of eye tissues from the introduced allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells indicate their effective use for uveitis in animals. Stem cells act as a regulator of proliferation in damaged eye tissues and cause cyto-differentiation during cell regeneration, activate the synthesis of anti-inflammatory mediators and enhance their own antioxidant properties.

It was found that with the help of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells, already on the 7th day of the experiment, a decrease in corneal stroma thickening was noted, and on the 14th day, restoration of the anterior surface epithelium was noted. Also on the 30th day of the experiment, almost complete restoration of damaged tissue structures of the eye and the end of the inflammatory process were noted. That is, histological studies indicate not only the recovery function of damaged tissue structures with the help of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells, but also the effect on the intensity of the inflammatory process, which significantly reduces the time of repair of eye tissues at the level of cells and tissues.

The obtained data using stem cells can be used for new modern methods of treating many eye pathologies in ophthalmology.
