A caracterização da vegetação e fragmentos florestais subsidia informações para o desenvolvimento regional, assim como o entendimento sobre a estrutura e dinâmica dos ecossistemas. Desse modo, objetivou-se caracterizar a estrutura florística e avaliar a dinâmica de um fragmento de Floresta Estacional Subtropical para a fauna regional. Para isso, foram utilizadas faixas paralelas dentro das quais foram distribuídas parcelas temporárias de 10 m x 10 m, equidistantes 20 m, e todos os indivíduos foram com CAP (circunferência medida a 1,30 m da superfície do solo) ≥ 15 cm foram inventariados. Observou-se 29 espécies pertencentes a 16 famílias no estrato médio, no estrato inferior 11 espécies em 8 famílias e no estrato superior 15 espécies de 11 famílias. O fragmento apresentou mais de 70% de dispersão dos frutos por zoocoria, indicando sua importância para conservação da fauna regional. Ocotea puberula, Lithraea molleoides, Casearia sylvestris, Allophylus edulis, Cupania vernalis, Luehea divaricata, Actinostemon concolor, Piper aduncun e Aiouea saligna foram as espécies de maior relevância, apresentando valores de importância elevados. A forma de dispersão de frutos e sementes de cada espécie é fundamental para a manutenção da biodiversidade e regeneração natural, influenciando diretamente na colonização das espécies e no modo de distribuição. As espécies mais representativas apresentaram padrão de distribuição espacial agrupado, possivelmente por sua preferência a condições ambientais específicas. Esse estudo possibilitou salientar a importância ecológica das espécies em diferentes sinúsias e a dispersão dos frutos pela fauna, contribuindo para a regeneração natural e conservação da biodiversidade em fragmento de Floresta Estacional Subtropical.

This work evaluated the growth trend represented by three biological models used for modeling forest growth and production (Schumacher; Chapman-Richards; Logistic). These curves were chosen because they are widely used by forest science professionals. The functions were adjusted under the hypothesis that there is influence of the initial, 6 and 12 month measurements on the shape of the production curves and, consequently, in the estimate of their parameters. The data that formed the adjustment basis were generated by the continuous monitoring performed at 6, 12, and 24 months and later at each 12 months in order to yield the growth patterns for the evaluated plantations. The results herein presented allow us to conclude that independently of the type of adjustment, the Chapman-Richards function was the one that exhibited the best statistics, with the BIAS values reduced in up to 30% when compared to the others. The Schumacher function presented the worst performance among the proposed criteria in this study. So, given the results obtained, we suggest a broader reflection about the growth and production issue, especially for the use of biometric models applied to forest production forecast, in which stability and adherence of the curves to the data are expected

Published: October 2021

Several forestry procedures affect tree volume and shape, such as spacing, pruning, and thinning. Studying and understanding the effect of these operations on stand attributes are very important for forest management. This study aimed to evaluate volume, form factor, and taper for Pinus taeda trees stratified into diameter classes within two planting spacings. In addition, we aimed to evaluate the time spent to scale each tree, measured with a chronometer. Indirect scaling was performed using a Criterion RD 1000. Thirty trees were scaled on each planting spacing (3 m x 2 m and 4 m x 2 m), totaling 60 trees encompassing all diameter classes. Tree volume was calculated using the Smalian equation. Tree volume, form factor, and taper were calculated to each tree and evaluated by stand (independent t-test) and diameter class (variance analysis and Tukey test).  The average scaling time was 4 minutes and 35 seconds, which decreased with practice (-24%). Form factor and taper differed with spacing and diameter class. Volume did not differ with spacing, but it did in the diameter classes. We concluded that indirect scaling is a practical method for tree volume assessment; higher planting density leads to more cylindrical stems with lower taper ratios in comparison with denser stands; and the fact that tree volume, form factor and taper differed among the diameter classes should be incorporated into studies of taper modeling.

Uma forma de viabilizar o investimento em planos de manejo florestal e reduzir a devastação da Caatinga é a comercialização de produtos madeireiros de maior valor agregado por comunidade rurais locais. Para que isso torna-se uma realidade é necessário investigar e caracterizar as diversas espécies madeireiras nativas para que as de maior potencial sejam sugeridas. Desta forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar a durabilidade natural de cinco espécies da Caatinga de densidade de moderadamente alta a alta. Foram instalados dois campos de apodrecimento: aberto, sem vegetação ao redor, e natural, em área de fragmento de Caatinga. Em cada campo foram colocadas estacas de 2x2x30cm, enterradas 15cm, das espécies Angico (Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell) Brenan)), Aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva (Allemao)), Jurema Preta (Mimosa tenuiflora (Mart) Benth)), Pau Branco (Auxemma oncocalyx (Allemao) Taub.)) e Pereiro (Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart). Os campos foram instalados entre fevereiro e março de 2019 e as estacas tiveram a perda de massa e o índice de deterioração determinados após 90, 200 e 270 dias. Todas as espécies obtiveram perda de massa abaixo de 10% após o fim do período do experimento, o que as classificou como altamente resistente. A maior parte da deterioração ocorreu nos primeiro 90 dias, que coincidiu com o período chuvoso da região. As espécies Anadenanthera colubrina e Myracrodruon urundeuva, além do ataque por fungos, também foram deterioradas por cupins do gênero Heterotermes e por coleópteras.

Authors: Sousa Tallyta Martins de , Castro Vinicius Gomes
Published: October 2021

O objetivo deste estudo foi a análise dos efeitos da termorretificação na madeira de alburno de Auxemma oncocalyx, utilizando duas temperaturas distintas, em busca de se obter homogeneidade nas propriedades físico-mecânicas e cor entre as partes do cerne e alburno. As propriedades físico-mecânicas avaliadas foram massa específica básica, luminosidade da cor, estabilidade dimensional, resistência à compressão paralela às fibras e módulo de elasticidade. Os resultados indicaram que o ganho na massa específica da madeira modificada ocorre somente em temperatura mais baixas, quando a perda de massa pela degradação dos componentes fundamentais da madeira foi menor do que a redução no volume do material. O efeito do tratamento térmico na higroscopicidade da madeira também gerou peças de alburno dimensionalmente mais estáveis. Em ambas as temperaturas testadas, a resistência à compressão foi superior em madeiras de alburno termorretificada comparadas com as madeiras de alburno e cerne não tratados. Com base nestes resultados, foi possível recomendar o uso de termorretificação da madeira de alburno de Pau-branco para que se produza produtos de madeira com aparência e características tecnológicas semelhantes aos que usam madeira do cerne desta espécie, aumentando assim o rendimento de produtos de qualidade.

Aim of the study: To evaluate the diagnostic value of crevicular fluid immunoregulatory biomarkers in cases with inflammatory periodontal diseases. The study included a total of 97 patients aged 21 to 55 years with inflammatory periodontal disease (gingivitis — 22 patients; mild periodontitis — 31 patients; moderate periodontitis — 19) as well as 25 persons with healthy periodontium (the control group). A conventionally accepted clinical and instrumental examination revealed that all the patients with inflammatory periodontal diseases featured the most typical signs of periodontal issues: in the crevicular fluid — an increase in the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α), a decreased level of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-1RA, and an increased concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). A ROC analysis showed that the increased content of VEGF, IL-8, IL-1β, IL-6 in the crevicular fluid is of a high diagnostic value in terms of detecting initial inflammation in the gum tissues, whereas the biomarkers pointing at periodontal destructive changes included high levels of VEGF, TNF-α and chemokines.

Published: October 2021

Experimental modeling of myocardial infarction in rats was carried out by ligation of the anterior intergastric artery after the first division. There were 3 groups of 20 animals each: control group I — to verify normal parameters, group II — a model of myocardial infarction, and group III — animals which, after modeling myocardial infarction, underwent transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells. The level of lipid peroxidation products — diene conjugates and malondialdehyde — was studied by spectrophotometry. Comparison of the content and their ratio in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of myocardiocytes was carried out. It turned out that transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells significantly levels the activation of lipid peroxidation processes in subcellular fractions of cardiomyocytes, which is accompanied by a decrease in the primary and secondary products of oxidative stress. The ratio of malondialdehyde to diene conjugates both in the cytoplasm and in the mitochondria of cardiomyocytes after transplantation returned to control values. This indicates the normalization of physiological processes with underlying ischemic heart damage. The results indicate the cytoprotective effect of mesenchymal stem cell transplantation and the preservation of a larger number of cell pools, compared with the control group of animals that did not receive any treatment.

Published: October 2021

INTRODUCTION AND AIM: This study aims to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes in unstable distal
end radius fractures treated with variable angle locking plates.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We reviewed 20 unstable distal end radius fractures that were operated and xed with variable-angle locking
plate.
RESULTS: According to Green and O'Brien Score (Cooney's modication) , excellent results were reported in 70 %,while good results were
present in 20% cases, fair results were seen in 10% cases.
CONCLUSION: The use of variable angle locking plates (VALP) in treating unstable distal end radius fractures is associated with excellent to
good functional outcomes with minimal complications. VALP allows subchondral purchase in the articular fragments due to the exibility in the
implant as far as plate positioning (that can be placed even beyond watershed line for very distal radius fractures) and as far as screw positioning in
different directions (that can hold various distal fracture fragments as well as styloid process fracture). By this way, VALP helps in maintaining
the reduction and predictably yields better functional outcome especially in unstable distal end radius fractures with early return to pre-injury
occupation.

Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: The use of a dynamic hip screw (DHS) for stable as well as unstable intertrochanteric hip fracture xation has been successfully applied in fracture healing for more than 25years. DHS xation on unstable trochanteric fractures still has a more failure rate compared to stable fractures, mostly due to osteoporosis in patients. Thus, this study is aimed to investigate the biomechanical property of the DHS system to provide the stable xation in intertrochanteric A1 and A2 fractures1. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of 54 patients with trochanteric fractures of the femur that were treated with DHS (Dynamic hip screw) during the period of two years from April 2019 to March 2021 in a tertiary care hospital. All surgeries were performed under spinal and epidural anaesthesia. Surgery done was an internal xation with DHS plate. Results: Among 54 cases, 55.5% were A1, and 44.4% were A2 pertrochanter fractures. The clinical and functional outcomes of the procedure were excellent in 25 patients (46.29%), good in 19 patients (35.18%), fair in 8 patients (14.81%), and 2 (3.7%) of the patients had poor results. CONCLUSIONS: Intertrochanteric fractures are essentially fractures of the elderly, which demand prompt treatment and early ambulation. The dynamic hip screw is the operative treatment of choice for stable trochanteric fractures

Published: October 2021

INTRODUCTION: CKD and kidney failure are signicant comorbidities associated with unfavourable outcomes in
patients with COVID-19. Patients with CKD/kidney failure also have a disproportionate burden of other comorbidities
1 (e.g., coronary artery disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus) associated with more severe presentations of COVID-19 . SARS-CoV-2
infection frequently triggers a massive release of proinammatory cytokines and may induce coagulation abnormalities that increase the risk of
2
cardiovascular events and multiorgan dysfunction.
MATERIALS & METHODS: It is a retrospective study done in government general hospital Vijayawada from patients admitted with covid
positive status having comorbidities, with the help of medical records department, done during 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021.
RESULTS : Out of 150 patients who had a renal abnormality, 40 (27%)had AKI, 110 ( 73%) had CKD, and of these patients, 96( 64%) patients
underwent dialysis, 54( 36%) patients did not undergo dialysis, having high mortality mainly in patients having CKD than AKI. Compared to
patients with comorbidity without renal abnormality and patients with renal abnormalities, the mortality was high in the later group of patients.
CONCLUSION: There is a signicant effect of kidney disease on mortality in covid positive patients. Patients having CKD will have higher
mortality compared with AKI. Even though the mortality was seen in patients having comorbidities without renal involvement, mortality was
much higher in patients with renal involvement.

Authors: Jain Uma , Gupta Preeti , Gupta Deepa , Jain Deepali
Published: October 2021

INTRODUCTION- When Rh negative maternal blood is exposed to Rh positive fetal blood (RBC) in maternal
circulation, antibodies against Rh (D) may develop in the mother. These Rh (D) antibody, once produced, remains in the
woman's circulation and poses the threat of hemolytic disease (due to destruction of fetal RBCs ) for subsequent Rh-positive fetuses and this
event leads to alloimmunization. Coombs test is the most common method to detect alloimmunization done during pregnancy (ICT) and in
postnatal period (DCT). Rhesus (Rh) isoimmunization is an important clinical entity in India and other developing countries, which is
responsible for fetal anemia and hydrops fetalis, and if not treated, it can result in intrauterine fetal demise, thus timely diagnosis follow-up and
management of Rh –ve pregnancy is must.
MATERIAL AND METHODS- st th This is a retrospective observational study, done in a private hospital, Gwalior (M.P.), form 1 Jan. 2018 to 30
June 2020. 88 women with Rh-ve pregnancy were studied during this period, Data was recovered from labor room record, OT, PNC, post
operative wards for maternal outcome a SNCU for neonatal outcome.
RESULTS- In our study the most common age group was 21-25 years (62.5%), most of the patient were Primigravida(42.4%), most of them
were unbooked (65.90%) and from Rural area (72.72%).
The most common blood group Rh- was o-ve (53.40%).
Only 2 patients had positive indirect coombs test.
Most of the patients delivered normally, only (28.40%)Patients delivered by LSCS.
Preeclampsia was the most common maternal complication found in Rh- Patient (12.5%).
96.59% of Neonates were live born. 2.27% were fresh still born and 1.13% were macerated still born.
24 babies were admitted in SNCU. The most common cause of admission was neonatal jaundice (66.66%).
The most (76.13%) of the babies had serum bilirubin level between 10-15 mg/dl.
CONCLUSION- We concluded that Rh isoimmunization leads to increased perinatal morbidity for perinatal morbidity. The obstetrician and
maternity staff should be familiar to diagnosis and management of with Rhesus incompatibility and they should counsel the Rh negative patient
about Importance of checking blood group and Rh type in pregnancy and should educated them about importance of Rh prophylaxis and
Hemolytic diseases of fetus and newborn risks of present and future pregnancy. During past few decades there had been major advances in the

Published: October 2021

Introduction: The way medical students learn is largely determined by the way they are assessed. There is a need to
rationalize the examination system by giving due emphasis on internal assessment, and supplementing the traditional
short case examination with more valid and reliable instruments for the assessment of clinical skills. To compare the Aims And Objectives:
marks/score pattern between short case and OSCE and to study the students and faculty feedback about short case method of assessment versus
OSCE. This study was conducted on 60 nal year MBBS students at the end of thei Methodology: r clinical posting in skin department of IRT
Perundurai Medical College Hospital, Erode. Clinical assessment was rst done on short case and then by administering OSCE. The results were
analyzed using ANOVA. Two scenarios were chosen namely Hansen's disease and psoriasis. Marks obtained by the students were only Results:
marginally higher in OSCE than short case assessment. Students performed better in OSCE leprosy. 26 out of 60 students scored 70% or above by
short case method whereas 32 out of 60 scored 70% or above by OSCE method. The student's feedback regarding both in general was positive.
Students preferred short case assessment in terms of method and time. Logistical difculties were noted in OSCE. The practical Conclusion:
clinical examinations are of key importance in the assessment of clinical competence of medical students. Students perform better in OSCE
because it is objective, fair, unbiased, without examiners marking variability, without fear of examiner and anxiety. Students and faculty
sensitization regarding nuances of OSCE is the need of the hour.

Materials And Methods: This study is a prospective study covering all head injury cases admitted from November 2020 - January 2021 in level
1 TAEI centre, Coimbatore medical college and hospital, Coimbatore. The treatment is initiated upon arrival in Zero delay ward and they are
triaged by TAEI team. These patients are treated according to the protocol of Department of Neurosurgery. This study covers the management,
discharge and follow up of these patients.
Results: The admitted head injury patients in TAEI ward are 1319 cases out of 1750 trauma cases. Among them RTA tops head injury mortality
and morbidity. Among RTA, Two wheeler associated injuries were most common. Drunken drive, not wearing helmets and protective gears
played a vital role in head injuries.
Conclusion : The primary prevention can be the key to reduce the national burden of head injuries.

The Federal Aviation Administration instrumented four concrete slabs of a taxiway at the John F. Kennedy International Airport to collect pavement responses under aircraft and environmental loading. The study started with developing preprocessing scripts to organize, structure, and clean the collected data. As a result of the preprocessing step, the data became easier and more intuitive for pavement engineers and researchers to transform and process. After the data were cleaned and organized, they were used to develop two prediction models. The first prediction model employs a Bayesian calibration framework to estimate the unknown material parameters of the concrete pavement. Additionally, the posterior distributions resulting from the calibration process served as a sensitivity analysis by reporting the significance of each parameter for temperature distribution. The second prediction model utilized a machine-learning (ML) algorithm to predict pavement responses under aircraft and environmental loadings. The results demonstrated that ML can predict the responses with high accuracy at a low computational cost. This project highlighted the potential of using ML for future pavement design guidelines as more instrumentation data from future projects are collected to incorporate various material properties and pavement structures.

Farmers' institutions, whether fostered by the government or those that have emerged from the initiatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), have an important position in developing vegetable agribusiness. This research aimed to compering the institutional dynamics of government-assisted farmers and non-government organizations and to formulate a collective learning institutional framework. The survey method was carried out by taking disproportional stratified random sampling, the data were analyzed using scoring, chi-square crosstabs and SWOT analysis. The results of this study indicate that the institutional dynamics of farmers are on average in moderate criteria with differences in dynamic indicators. Government-assisted groups prioritize achieving agribusiness goals, while NGO-assisted groups develop an egalitarian structure. Factors that significantly influence the institutional dynamics of farmers are farmer age, education, status in the organization, and access to credit. The joint learning framework from the technological aspect is aimed at discovering, sharing and using vegetable agribusiness development technology. Meanwhile, from the institutional aspect, it is aimed at strengthening organizations and networks.

This study was conducted in the coastal area of ​​Banyuasin (CAB) which was considered to have a variety of sedimentation classes originating from fluvial and marine processes. The study aimed to observe/determine changes in the morphology of coastal areas related to sedimentation in the CAB and to make maps related to oceanographic parameters, changes in the land cover and identification of the distribution of sedimentation occurring in the CAB, and the dominant factors influencing the change. This study used imagery interpretation method and the sediment data collection used sediment traps to determine the occurrence of accretion and abrasion. The results of the study showed that there was a change in the environment based on the analysis of Landsat imagery, that have undergone changes are Ekor Tikus island (PET), Tg Api-api (TAA), and the Bungin River (SB), which are affected by the land conversion, sedimentation, and tidal currents. There has been an environmental change in the CAB, especially at the Banyuasin estuary (PET) with a high sedimentation rate. The changes also occurred in TAA and SB, with the dominant factor being the decline in mangrove forests. As a result, it is necessary to conduct a more detailed study and time series related to mangroves.
