compromisso histórico-social das universidades
Authors: Vaz Aline Choucair , Chacon Daniel Ribeiro de Almeida , Zarahi Raquel Tereza de Faria Campos
Published: January 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o sentido do compromisso histórico-social da universidade a partir do ideário crítico de Paulo Freire e de sua experiência na educação de adultos no contexto dos finais dos anos de 1950 e início de 1960 no Nordeste brasileiro. Para tanto, recorreu-se a sua própria obra, sobretudo textos que analisam o significado da educação e sua relação com as massas populares. A metodologia centrou-se na revisão bibliográfica de textos do autor e de outros que ajudam a elucidar o pensamento de Paulo Freire. Percebeu-se que o compromisso histórico-social para Freire não é uma benevolência ou doação de saberes pela academia científica, mas uma relação dialógica que reconhece a importância das culturas dos grupos populares. A experiência no Nordeste brasileiro antes da ditadura civil-militar, com base numa atividade extensionista da Universidade do Recife/PE, apontou elaborações significativas dos(as) sujeitos envolvidos(as) e uma criticidade sobre o próprio mundo.
Políticas Públicas de Desporto e Municípios
Authors: Santos Edmilson Santos dos , Carvalho Maria José , Alves Alex Vieira
Published: January 2022

O incentivo à descentralização de políticas parte do pressuposto que a proximidade com o cidadão garante maior eficiência na alocação de recursos em políticas de sua preferência. O presente estudo buscou compreender a participação do poder local à efetivação do direito ao deporto, de forma comparativa entre Brasil e Portugal, a partir da análise das normas produzidas no período pós-constituição dos dois países. O quadro normativo de atenção ao direito se distingue. No Brasil, as normas não enfrentaram a questão da participação dos municípios na oferta do direito. Em Portugal foram construídos um conjunto de normas buscando estruturar o comportamento das câmaras municipais em matéria esportiva. No entanto, essa distinção não implica, necessariamente, que a questão da implementação das políticas esteja equacionada. Para os dois países a questão do financiamento é uma agenda a ser enfrentada pelo quadro normativo que afeta o acesso ao direito.

The Pancasila formula has been contained in the constitution that has been in effect in Indonesia, starting with Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia 1945, Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia Serikat, Undang-Undang Dasar Sementara 1950. Nevertheless, the terms "Pancasila" and Pancasila as the source of all legal sources are not regulated in the constitution. Such provisions will affect the normal conflict in view that pancasila has been agreed upon as the source of all Indonesian legal sources. It aims to do a critical analysis of the existence of pancasila in the constitution in force in Indonesia since 1945 and the need for inclusion of the terms "pancasila" and "pancasila as the source of all law" in the constitution in Indonesia.
Sensory Imagery in Rupert Brooke’s Poems Translated
by Vladimir Nabokov: Synesthesia and Metaphysics
Authors: Strygin Artyom
Published: January 2022

The goal of the research paper is a comparative analysis of Rupert Brooke’s twelve poems and their translations by Vladimir Nabokov. The article deals with biographical, stylistic, metaphysical and intertextual details connecting two writers

and their works. The research underlines the following artistic features of translations with reference to Nabokov’s perception of Brooke’s creative personality: 1) Nabokov emphasizes the «other-world» concept in Brooke’s poetry; subsequently

this topic has been continually conceptualized in Nabokov’s later prose; 2) Nabokov’s analysis of Brooke’s poetry accentuates sensory imagery; 3) Nabokov’s translation expands and elaborates on the originals’ sensory aesthetics and metaphorical

structure. Sensory imagery in Brooke’s poems is structurally compared to the translations with due consideration of coloristics in both writers’ works.

Authors: Pacevičiūtė Agnė , Šimkonienė Ramutė
Published: January 2022

Parkinsono liga (PL) yra kompleksinis neuropsichiatrinis sutrikimas, pasireiškiantis motoriniais ir nemotoriniais simptomais. Ši liga yra vienas dažniausių neurodege­neracinių sutrikimų – antra po Alzheimerio ligos, o jos paplitimas didėja su amžiumi. Liga dažnesnė vyrams, baltaodžių populiacijoje ir kaimo gyventojams.

PL priežastys nėra tiksliai nustatytos, tačiau manoma, kad ją lemia modifikuojamų ir nemodifikuojamų rizi­kos veiksnių derinys.Yra duomenų, jog kofeino, tabako vartojimas bei fizinis aktyvumas mažina ligos atsiradimo riziką, o pesticidai, pieno produktai, patiriamas stresas ir genetiniai veiksniai – didina.

Authors: Jauraitė Erika , Skarupskienė Inga , Stankuvienė Asta
Published: January 2022

The aim is to analyse rituximab as a potential treatment for membranous nephropathy, its efficacy, and adverse effects. Study method- a systematic literature review. A search for scientific publications was performed using the Medline (Pubmed) and Google Scholar search systems. The selected articles are written in English.

Results. In 8 selected studies selected population was 324 patients. Total or partial remission was seen in 35- 100% patients, 24h proteinuria decreased significantly to all patients. Rituximab was effective when it came to long term proteinuria decrease and improvement of GFR. Adverse effects were mild or insignificant, and patients tolerated the agent well. The most common side effects were infusion-related reactions, cardiovascular compli­cations, or infections.

Conclusions. Based on these studies, Rituximab is an effective treatment for membranous nephropathy. It is a safe agent with less adverse effects which are mild and do not require hospitalization. Although therapy consisting of alkylating agents and steroids is still recommended for patients with very high-risk kidney disease, rituximab is an alternative option for patients at moderate/high risk of kidney damage.
JURGIS AMBRAZIEJUS PABRĖŽA – ŽYMUS BOTANIKAS, FARMACININKAS, LIAUDIES GYDYTOJAS
Authors: Valančiūtė Janina
Published: January 2022

2021 m. sausio 15 d. sukako 250 metų, kai Večiuose, Skuodo rajone, gimė vienas iškiliausių XIX a. švietėjų, botanikas, liaudies gydytojas, pranciškonas, kunigas Jur­gis Ambraziejus Pabrėža.

Vilniaus universitete gavęs teorinius pagrindus, bet stu­dijų nebaigęs, J. Pabrėža grįžęs į Žemaitiją savarankiškai studijavo mediciną ir gamtos mokslus. Susikonspektavo 9 tomų „Bendrąjį medicininį chirurginį žodyną“, iš kurio susidarė savo praktikai reikalingą rankraštinį vadovą.

Būdamas kunigu ir dažnai lankydamas ligonius, sten­gėsi jiems padėti teikdamas medicininę pagalbą. Pradėjo domėtis gydymu žolelėmis – būdu, kuris buvo kiekvie­nam prieinamas. Naudojosi Simono Sirenijaus „Žolynu“. Buvo išvertęs Peterburge išleistą knygelę „Kaip reik ap­seiti su ligoniais ten, kur nėra daktarų“. J. Pabrėža ne tik rašė apie ligas, bet ir siūlė jų gydymo būdus, pateikė vaistų receptus. Iš viso yra išlikę 17 J. Pabrėžos rankraš­čių medicinos klausimais, kuriuose aprašomos dažniau pasitaikančios ligos, jų simptomai, gydymas. Paminėtini „Namų vaistinė“, „Apie slogas plaučių“, „Kaip yra taiso­mos vaistų medžiagos“, „Apie kaltūną“, „Apie šiltinę“, „Augalai, naudingi gydymui“, „Vaistai nuo geltonligės“, „Epilepsijos gydymas“ ir daug kitų.

Reikšmingi mokslui jo botanikos darbai, kurių rankraš­čių išliko apie 50, lietuvių – lotynų botanikos žodynas, augalų morfologijos lietuvių terminų žodynas, apie 800 augalų rūšių herbariumas. Didžiulis enciklopedinio vei­kalo ,,Taislius augyminis“ rankraštis įtrauktas į UNESCO programos „Pasaulio atmintis“ Lietuvos nacionalinį re­gistrą kaip nacionalinės reikšmės dokumentinio paveldo objektas.

Savo raštus J. Pabrėža paskyrė tiems, kurie „arti neturi vaistinės bei galimybių pasitarti su gydytojais, ir kurie ne tik gyvendami skursti, bet ir per anksti mirti turi“.

Authors: Pilkytė Ligita , Gasiūnienė Edita
Published: January 2022

Tyrimo tikslas − atlikti 2007-2021 metais išspausdintų mokslinių šaltinių apie Sweet sindromą analizę, apiben­drinti klinikos ypatumus, diagnostiką ir gydymą.

Atlikta mokslinės literatūros apžvalga. Duomenys rinkti iš PubMed, Science Direct, UpToDate duomenų bazių. Į sisteminę apžvalgą įtrauktos 2007-2021 metų publika­cijos, kuriose aprašomas Sweet sindromas.

Rezultatai. Sweet sindromas arba karštinė neutrofilinė dermatozė pirmą kartą apibūdinta 1964 metais. Tai reta uždegiminė būklė, kuriai būdinga temperatūra, odos bėri­mai ir leukocitozė su neutrofilija. Dažniausiai pasireiškia 30-50 metų moterims. Sweet sindromas gali būti klasiki­nis, vaistų sukeltas ir paraneoplastinis. Klasikinis Sweet sindromas susijęs su uždegiminėmis ligomis. Vaistų su­keltas pasireiškia vartojant granuliocitų kolonijas skati­nančius veiksnius, o paraneoplastinis dažniausiai būna kartu sergant ūmine mieloidine leukemija. Diagnozuo­jama remiantis A. von den Driesch diagnostikos krite­rijais. Karštinė neutrofilinė dermatozė įprastai gydoma sisteminiais gliukokortikoidais.
LEGIONELINĖ PNEUMONIJA: IDENTIFIKAVIMAS IR INFORMACIJOS TEIKIMAS
Authors: Masys Šarūnas , Naujalis Edvardas , Kaušaitė Dominyka
Published: January 2022

Legionelinė pneumonija (legionierių liga, legioneliozė) yra atipinės formos penumonija, kurią gali sukelti bet kuri Legionella bakterijų rūšis, tačiau dažniausiai − Le­gionella pneumophila.

Tyrimo tikslas − išanalizuoti legioneliozės etiologiją, epidemiologiją, diagnostiką, gydymą, profilaktiką bei pranešimo apie legioneliozę svarbą.

Literatūros apžvalga atlikta remiantis elektroninėmis PubMed ir Google Scholar mokslo duomenųbazėmis, atrenkant publikacijas anglųkalba nuo 2015 iki 2021 metų.

Tyrimo rezultatai. Legionelioze galima užsikrėsti įkvė­pus aerozolių (smulkių lašelių) arba aspiruojant užterštą vandenį. Apie legioneliozę reikia pranešti visose Euro­pos Sąjungos ir Europos ekonominės erdvės (ES/EEE) šalyse, kur apie 70 proc. nuo visų praneštų atvejų sudaro visuomenėje įgytos pneumonijos, 20 proc. susijusios su kelionėmis ir 10 proc. susijusios su sveikatos priežiūra. Legioneliozės ligos inkubacinis laikotarpis yra nuo 2 iki 10 dienų. Legionelioze sergantiems pacientams, dažniau nei tiems, kurių bendruomenėje įgytą plaučių uždegimą sukėlė kita bakterija, pasireiškia mialgija, galvos skaus­mas, viduriavimas, aukštesnė vidutinė kūno temperatūra.

Išvados. Nėra atskirų klinikinių ypatybių, leidžiančių nustatyti legionelinę pneumoniją, tačiau visi sergantieji sunkia pneumonija, turėtų būti ištirti dėl legioneliozės. Klinikinę legioneliozės diagnozę galima patvirtinti iš­skiriant mikroorganizmą iš skreplių, bronchoalveolinio lavažo, pleuros skysčio ar plaučių audinio. Antigeno nustatymas šlapime yra naudingas L. pneumophila 1 se­rogrupės tyrimas. Gydymo gairėse rekomenduojama šią ligą empiriškai pradėti gydyti fluorochinolonų arba ma­krolidų grupės antibiotikais, tačiau nereikia manyti, kad nebūtina specifiškai patvirtinti ligos diagnozės. Visuo­menės sveikatos požiūriu, būtina patvirtinti legioneliozės diagnozę ir apie ją pranešti atitinkamoms institucijoms, kad būtų nustatytas ligos šaltinis ir galimas protrūkis.

Infectious coryza is an infectious disease, caused by Avibacterium paragallinarum, causing economic losses to commercial poultry Industry. The samples were collected from 6 commercial Infectious Coryza suspected layer farms includes, nasal swabs(119), ocular swabs(119) and tracheal swabs(119) were pooled farm wise and organ wise. On o selective media the organism was produced satellite colonies after incubation of 48 hours at 37 c under anaerobic conditions. The organisms were showed positive test for sugar fermentation tests, negative for catalase test,Indole test and H2S production test. Further molecular confirmation was done by SYBR Green real time PCR by targeting the HPG2 gene. In this study the Ct value below 35 was consider as positive cutoff for Avibacterium paragallinarum. All samples were screened by targeting HPG2 gene and found 100 percent positive for Avibacterium paragallinarum. To control the economic losses associated with the Infectious coryza, an early ,accurate and rapid diagnosis is essential. So the SYBR Green real time PCR is a rapid and highly sensitive technique which can substitute conventional methods. The antibiogram pattern revealed that the isolated pathogens were showed the sensitivity to enrofloxacin,ceftriaxone and amikacin. The diagnosis can be done by isolation of the pathogen on selective media and identification by biochemical tests, but less sensitive and time consuming. So the molecular detection based PCR tests are the most advanced, among the PCR tests, SYBR Green real time PCR test is the rapid, accurate and most sensitive test in detection of pathogens. Hence the present study was aimed that isolation and molecular detection of Avibacterium paragallinarum in commercial layers by using SYBR Green real time PCR by targeting HPG2 gene.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH - MGNREGA
Authors: Kumar S A Sampath , Buhukya Sammaiah
Published: January 2022

Empowerment is a process aimed at changing the nature and direction of systematic forces,which marginalize women
and other disadvantaged sections in a given context.Gender is the inevitable push factor for growth and development of
a nation like India. In India women constitute a major share of chronically poor population. A large segment of Indian
womanhood still suffers deprivation and discriminatory attitudes.It is necessary to mobilize the vast women power,if the
country has to progress in all sphere of development.Empowerment of women is a long and difficult process which is to
be promoted with full public support and this could be successful only when those women living at the lower strata who
have been suppressed by the male dominated society taking undue advantage of their lack of education and poverty can
rise up to claim their rightful place in their own society.In spite of the draw backs in the implementation of the legislation,
significant benefits have already started accruing to women through better access to local employment, at minimum
wages,with relatively decent and safe work conditions.The Government has framed different programmes/schemes to
uplift the women from poverty and vulnerability of life. One such women friendly programme is Mahatma Gandhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) which was enacted in 2005.MGNREGA plays a significant role
to meet the practical as well as strategic needs of women's participation. It has become a beacon of light in the
empowerment of the rural women and contributed substantially for the increased living and economic conditions by
creating equal wages to male and female workers. The present paper discusses status of women's participation in
MGNREGA in Telangana. This paper also presents challenges in the way of women participation in MGNREGA and
suggestions for making MGNREGA more effective for women.

Published: January 2022

The term “Parkinson's disease”refers to a neurodegenerative disease that affects several regions of the brain,including
the pigmented nuclei in midbrain and brainstem, the olfactory tubercle, the cerebral cortex, and elements of the
peripheral nervous system. It is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by clinical features including resting
tremor,rigidity,bradykinesia,and postural instability.Axial symptoms,such as balance impairments,are one of the main
predictors of quality of life for individuals with PD and have been shown to increase fall risk.Methodology:Parkinson's
disease subjects aged 55-80 years,both males and females were included in the study,were conveniently divided into
three equal groups- Group A, B and C comprising 10 subjects each, were assessed using Berg Balance Scale for
assessment of balance.Group A received Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) along with Dual Task Training;
Group B received Dual Task Training whereas Group C received Conventional Physiotherapy.Patients were reassessed
after 3 weeks. Result: After statistical analysis, when compared in Group A and Group B, a significant difference was
found in BBS scores ('p'<0.05), whereas non significant difference was found in Group B and Group C ('p'>0.05).While
comparing Group A with Group C, BBS was found significant.conclusion: The present study concluded that tDCS
combined with Dual task training is more effective when compared to Dual task training alone and Conventional
physiotherapy. Thus, tDCS and dual task training should be implemented in physiotherapy protocol of Parkinson's
disease patient,and it will be helpful in improving the Balance impairments.

Cardiac Evidence Mining for Eating Monitoring using Collocative Electrocardiogram Imagining
Authors: Zhang Xulu , Yang Zhenqun , Jiang Dongmei , Liao Ga , Li Qing , Jain Ramesh , Wei Xiaoyong
Published: January 2022

Eating monitoring has remained an open challenge in medical research for years due to the lack of non-invasive sensors for continuous monitoring and the reliable methods for automatic behavior detection. In this paper, we present a pilot study using the wearable 24-hour ECG for sensing and tailoring the sophisticated deep learning for ad-hoc and interpretable detection. This is accomplished using a collocative learning framework in which 1) we construct collocative tensors as pseudo-images from 1D ECG signals to improve the feasibility of 2D image-based deep models; 2) we formulate the cardiac logic of analyzing the ECG data in a comparative way as periodic attention regulators so as to guide the deep inference to collect evidence in a human comprehensible manner; and 3) we improve the interpretability of the framework by enabling the backtracking of evidence with a set of methods designed for Class Activation Mapping (CAM) decoding and decision tree/forest generation. The effectiveness of the proposed framework has been validated on the largest ECG dataset of eating behavior with superior performance over conventional models, and its capacity of cardiac evidence mining has also been verified through the consistency of the evidence it backtracked and that of the previous medical studies.

INFLUENCE OF SPORO-LEX AND ANALCIM-SI ON THE MICROFLORA OF THE BIRD'S GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
Authors: Tareq Yahya Al-Bkour
Published: January 2022

The constant interaction between bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, intestinal epithelial cells and immune system cells is a continuous interaction that is central to maintaining immune homeostasis.

"Analtsim-Si" is a montmorillonite rock of Volodymyretsky field. Probiotic "Sporo-lex" is a mixture of probiotic cultures of Bacillus licheniformis VK-25 and Bacillus subtilis MK-3 on a natural standardized sorbent – montmorillonite rock of Volodymyretsky field. The subjects were laying hens of 130 days of age, Lohmann Brown cross (n = 30). The bird of the first group got compound feed with 2% of "Analtsim-Si", the bird of the second group got compound feed with 2% of the probiotic "Sporo-lex". The third group – was a control group and received the usual food.

Prior to the start of the study, as well as on days 7, 14 and 28, the bird was weighed, blood and feces were collected for the study. On the 27th day of the experiment, a pathological examination of birds from all groups was performed to study the patency of the gastrointestinal tract.

The effect of experimental veterinary drugs "Sporo-lex" and "Analtsim-Si" on the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract of poultry was established. The drug "Sporo-lex" has a more pronounced effect, which is manifested in the suppression of bacteria of the Escherichia coli group due to the antagonistic action of strains of Bacillus licheniformis VK-25 and Bacillus subtilis MK-3, which are part of the drugs.

The average growth of turkeys during the use of the probiotic "Sporo-lex" was studied. As a result of the conducted researches it was established that the bird of the experimental group at the end of the experiment had 470 grams more body weight compared to the control. During the autopsy of birds from both groups, no significant signs of pathology of organs and systems were detected.

In the future, it is necessary to study the effect of drugs "Sporo-lex" and "Analcym-Si" on the dynamics of changes in the immunological parameters of birds.

Practice confirms that every enterprise of veterinary medicine, as well as other branches of economy, cannot work effectively in market conditions without the developed strategy in which effective, payback priorities would be declared. This is important because in market conditions, companies are in ever-increasing technological requirements, the dynamics of the range of competitive products, strong competition, as well as the growing demands of consumers. Today, the market of products for veterinary medicine is focused mainly on manufacturers who have adequate, economically sound market motivation. Therefore, it is important for enterprises to work on the development and continuous improvement of priority areas of their development. And this, in turn, will contribute to the development of a model of effective management activities to solve important production problems, including the introduction of new technologies, the formation of promising areas of enterprise development in market conditions. It is the strategic priorities that should be the guideline for veterinary medicine enterprises in the short and long term.

The development of strategic priorities should be based on positive experience, the level of qualification of staff who should clearly understand the goals of the enterprise and be directly involved in optimizing all available resources, their efficient allocation and use (Dikan et al., 2013).

When setting priorities, it should be borne in mind that the markets for veterinary products coexist with other markets. This factor should be taken into account, because in such markets the presence of consumers is greater, respectively, and the diversity of their requests for different types of products presented in such markets is wider. And this reinforces the principles of competition, which producers should take into account when forming their priorities, focus on the production of high consumer quality products, appropriate price, which would satisfy consumers. Therefore, one of the key tasks of veterinary enterprises is the ability to assess their capabilities in a competitive environment.

Experience confirms that to be market participants and compete successfully can be those companies that organize their activities taking into account the prospects of development, see the priorities, and achieve them. The purpose of the study is to summarize the experience of leading enterprises of veterinary medicine of Ukraine in the formation and practical implementation of priorities for their development.
THE INFLUENCE OF KEEPING TECHNOLOGY ON THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG CATTLE

Published: January 2022

Technology factors of keeping young cattle that influence the growth and development are considered in this work.

The research was conducted during 2020 in the conditions of Ukrainian farms for cattle breeding. Five experimental groups of five one-week-old calves in each and one control group were formed. Calves were kept separately in the same conditions, diet, but fed probiotics (1×109) Bacillus amyloliquefaciense, Bacillus mucilaginosus, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus pumilus in the colostrum substitute for five grams per animal. The strains are deposited and produced by «Kronos Agro», Ukraine. The calves had free access to water and hay. Determination of live weight of calves was performed by individual weighing on scales with an accuracy of 1 kg. Weighing of animals was performed at the beginning of the study and every 10 days.

The task of the experiment was to create the most favorable housing conditions, so the calves of the experimental and control groups were kept in the same livestock house but in different cattle pens. According to the results of the research, it was established that the temperature and relative humidity in the room corresponded to the normative indicators and fluctuated only with the change of seasons. As the ventilation system in the calf is natural, the microbial pollution and the content of gases (carbon dioxide, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide) decreased or increased according to the change of the season. Summarizing the results, we can conclude that the microclimate in the livestock house for keeping calves met sanitary and hygienic standards.

After ten days of the experiment, the difference in mean live weight between groups did not exceed 5-7% and was not statistically significant. At 30 day of the study in the experimental group, where calves were given B. coagulans, the live weight was probably higher on 22,16 % and the average daily gain was higher on 24%, compared with the control group (* – р≤0,05). Slightly less difference in the group of calves which were feeding В. mucilaginosus, the live weight was higher by 18,5 % and the average daily gain by 16,9 %, compared with the control group (* - p≤0,05).

Studies have shown that the microclimate in the room for keeping calves met sanitary and hygienic standards and have not a negative impact on the growth and development of animals. It has also been shown that feeding the cultures of B. coagulans and В. mucilaginosus increased live weight of calves and average daily gain in young cattle.

The article presents the results of research conducted at the State Research Control Institute of Veterinary Drugs and Feed Additives during 2019 year on the presence of trace elements and inorganic contaminants in feed and feed raw materials of domestic production. The analysis of 62 samples of feed for different species of farm animals and poultry and 25 samples of feed materials was performed. Sample preparation was performed by acid decomposition in nitric acid using a laboratory microwave system with closed autoclaves. The content of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry with electro thermal atomization. The copper content fluctuated within 1.2 - 42.8 mg/kg, the zinc content 13.6 - 251.0 mg/kg, the lead content 0.025 - 4.07 mg/kg, the cadmium content ranged from 0.0035 to 0.25 mg/kg in tested feed samples.

The content of lead was in the range of 0.018 - 0.42 mg/kg and of cadmium 0.027 - 0.92 mg/kg in studies feed materials. According to the obtained results, it was found that the zinc content exceeded the maximum permissible level in three samples of feed for pigs. This is 5% of the tested feed. The inorganic contaminants content (lead and cadmium) and copper did not exceed the maximum permissible levels in feed in our studies. The cadmium content exceeded the permissible levels in seven samples of feed materials. This is 28 % of the tested feed materials samples. The lead content did not violate the MLR in the study. Feed raw materials made from sunflower were contaminated, meal and cake namely. Among the contaminated samples, two samples contained three times more cadmium than the legal level. These results confirm the literature on the ability of sunflower to actively accumulate cadmium, in particular in seeds. Inspection of feed and feed materials demonstrates the need for more thorough and systematic control, both at the stage of cultivation and in the process of harvesting, drying and processing at different stages of feed production.

Published: January 2022

Objectives:  A case-control study was conducted to find the prevalence of abnormal blood indices and electrolytes in patients with dementia.

Material & Methods:  The levels of erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, electrolytes, and ESR were determined from the biochemistry lab. A t-test was applied to see the significance of the difference between each dementia patient group (Alzheimer Disease-AD, Parkinson’s Disease-PD, and Frontotemporal Dementia-FTD) with the control group for each CBC and electrolyte parameter

Results:  In each patients’ groups (AD, PD, and FTD), the mean value of every erythrocyte was lower than the normal range. A significant difference existed for each erythrocyte between dementia patients and controls, except MCHC. Low levels were observed in neutrophils in all groups of dementia including control group. Very high levels were observed in ESR in all groups of dementia. Significant differences existed in the WBC levels between controls and AD as well as PD patients, in platelets between the control group and FTD patients, and in ESR in each group of dementia patients vs. control group. Normal values observed in all groups of dementia patients as well as in the control group. 

Conclusion:  We found low levels in erythrocytes in cases of Alzheimer disease, Parkinson’s disease, and frontotemporal dementia. Age-related changes to hematological indices especially related to RBCs, and inflammatory mediators like cytokines, hamper the microcirculation in the cerebral tissue leading to micro-infarcts or microbleeds which cause neuronal insults and parenchymal damage.

Objective:  To compare the outcome of surgical versus conservative treatment of traumatic extradural hematoma in the supratentorial regin.

Material and Methods:  It was a prospective randomized controlled trial conducted in Departments of Neurosurgery, Allied Hospitals, Faisalabad between December 2019 to November, 2020. A total of 100 patients Supratentorial EDH; fulfilling the selection criteria were enrolled. All patients underwent clinical and radiological assessment of EDH volume by the same neurosurgical team. The patients were then divided randomly into two groups by using the lottery methods. Group A patients were conservatively managed. Group B underwent surgery. All surgeries were done by the same surgical team. Glasgow outcome scale was noted in 5 days after admission or surgery in both groups.

Results:  The patients average age was 29.96 years, male to female ratio was 1.7:1. The mean volume of hematoma was 24.68 and 27.56 in group A (conservative group) and Group B (operated group) respectively. The favorable outcome was noted in all the patients and no mortality occurred in any patients.

Conclusion:  Both surgical and conservative treatments are equally effective in terms of a favorable outcome and mortality occurrence in management of traumatic EDH <30ml without neurological deficit. The conservative treatment is safe and cost-effective in borderline patients.

Objectives:  To analyze the management and outcome of ruptured anterior cerebral circulation aneurysm by a variety of procedures including microsurgical clipping.

Material and Methods:  A quasi-experimental study, carried out in The Department of Neurosurgery, Peoples’ Medical University Hospital Nawabshah from November 2010 to December 2020.We enrolled 38 patients and 40 aneurysms who presented with ruptured aneurysms. Hunt and Hess grading was used to evaluate the neurological status and ruptured aneurysms were managed by microsurgical clipping, excision, and suture ligation.

Results:  Out of 38 patients Male were (23) 61% and females were (15) 39%, with a mean age of 50±25 years with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and graded according to Hunt and Hess grade and fissure grading. Middle cerebral artery aneurysm was 45%, Anterior communicating artery 30%, Anterior Cerebral Artery 10%, carotid bifurcation 2.5%. Multiple aneurysms at internal carotid plus anterior communicating artery (n = 2) and internal carotid plus middle cerebral artery aneurysms n = 2. Distal anterior cerebral (n = 1). In 33 patients, the aneurysm was clipped, in 3 patients with fissure grading 4 and huge intracerebral bleed with signs of brain herniation, decompression plus aneurysm clipping was done, suture ligation (n = 1) and excision of a giant aneurysm (n = 3).

Conclusions:  Microsurgical clipping is considered an ideal modality to secure a ruptured intracerebral aneurysm. Rarely it can be amendable by suture ligation, or excision. Presenting Hunt and Hess, fissure grading, age, and volume of intracerebral bleed have a direct impact on prognosis.
