A Supervised Hybrid Statistical Catch-Up System Built on GABECE Gambian Data
Authors: Aroh Tagbo Innocent
Published: December 2020

In this paper we want to find a statistical rule that assigns a passing or failing grade to students who undertook at least three exams out of five in a national exam,
instead of completely dismissing these students. While it is cruel to declare them as failing, especially if the reason for their absence it not intentional, they should have
demonstrated enough merit in the three exams taken to deserve a chance to be declared passing. We use a special classification method and nearest neighbors methods based on the
average grade and on the most modal grade to build a statistical rule in a supervised learning process. The study is built on the national GABECE educational data which is a
considerable data covering seven years and all the six regions of the Gambia.

Admission of guilt fines: a legal shortcut or delayed shock?
Authors: Van As Hendrik , Erasmus Deon
Published: December 2020

A popular perception shared by peace officers and the public alike is that the payment of an admission of guilt fine finalises the judicial process and no criminal record will result. However, paying an admission of guilt fine in terms of section 56 of the Criminal Procedure Act means that the person is deemed to have been convicted and sentenced in a court of law. People who pay admission of guilt fines later discover with shock that they in fact have a criminal record, with severe consequences. Often costly High Court applications will have to be instituted to set aside the conviction and sentence. Peace officers have a duty to inform a person of the consequences of paying an admission of guilt fine, but often do not do so and even abuse the admission of guilt system to finalise matters speedily. This article examines the consequences for a person who pays an admission of guilt fine. It further investigates whether there is a duty on Legal Aid South Africa to provide legal assistance in these matters and whether an administrative infringement process should be investigated.
2008 KÜRESEL FİNANS KRİZİ SONRASI TÜRK BANKACILIK SEKTÖRÜNDE PERFORMANS DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: KONAK Fatih , ERGENOĞLU Sevim
Published: December 2020

İnsanlık tarihinin parayı bulmasına kadar olan dönemde ve sonrasında, belirli değerleri saklama, değerlendirme ve takas işlemleri tarih boyunca insanların ekonomik hayatını oluşturmuştur. Paranın icat edilmesi ve insan etkileşimlerin artması ekonomik olayları düzenleyen kurumların varlığına ihtiyaç doğurmuştur. Bu ihtiyaçtan doğan bankalar kişilerin ve kurumların finansal işlemlerini kurallı bir şekilde yapmalarını sağlamaya başlamıştır. İş tanımını zamanla genişleten bankalar kişilere ve kurumlara bir çok hizmet veremeye başlamıştır. Zamanla çoğalan finansal kurumlar ve bankaların rekabet içerisinde olması, bankaları karlılıklarını artırıcı işlemler yapmaya yöneltmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın temel amacı, 2009-2018 yılları arasında Türk Bankacılık Sektörü’ nde yer alan 24 bankanın, 2008 Küresel Finans Krizi sonrasında, karlılıklarını etkileyen değişkenleri belirlemektir. Panel veri regresyon yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada ulaşılan bulgulara göre; sermaye oranı, likidite riski, kredilendirme düzeyi, banka büyüklüğü, sermaye oranı ve yoğunlaşma değişkenlerinin performans üzerindeki değişimi açıklamada istatistiksel olarak anlamlı sonuçlar verdiği gözlemlenmiştir.
EKONOMİK BÜYÜMENİN KONUT FİYATLARI ÜZERİNDEKİ ASİMETRİK ETKİSİ: NARDL UYGULAMASI
Authors: VARLIK Nimet
Published: December 2020

Çalışmada, Türkiye’de ekonomik büyümenin konut piyasasına olan asimetrik etkileri araştırılmaktadır. Ekonomik büyümede meydana gelen artışların yanında düşüşlerin de etkilerini inceleyebilmek amacıyla Doğrusal Olmayan Gecikmesi Dağıtılmış Otoregresif Model (Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag; NARDL) tercih edilmiştir. Çalışmada 2010M1-2019M4 dönemine ait aylık verilerle çalışılmıştır. Modelde konut fiyatlarındaki değişimi yansıtan konut fiyat endeksi bağımlı değişken, ekonomik büyümenin öncü göstergesi kabul edilen ve çalışmada vekil değişken olan sanayi üretim endeksi ise bağımsız değişken olarak kullanılmaktadır. Tahmin bulguları sanayi üretim endeksi artarken konut fiyatlarının da yükseldiğini ve sanayi üretim endeksi düşerken konut fiyatlarının da gerilediğini ortaya koymaktadır. Buna göre iktisat teorisine uygun biçimde ekonomik büyümenin arttığı dönemlerde konut fiyatlarının yükseldiği ve ekonomik büyümenin gerilediği ve/veya yavaşladığı dönemlerde konut fiyatlarının düştüğü bulguları elde edilmiştir. Sanayi üretimindeki artışın konut fiyatlarını yükseltici etkisi, sanayi üretimindeki azalışın konut fiyatlarını düşürücü etkisinden büyüktür ve bu etki yaklaşık yedi ay sürmektedir. Bulgular, sanayi üretimindeki azalmanın konut fiyatlarını düşürücü etkisinin ise altı ay süresince devam ettiğini göstermektedir.
Адаптация математических методов и моделей фрактального анализа к исследованию агрегированных экомических временных рядов данных страховой компании
Authors: Ковалева Ксения Александровна , Кумратова Альфира Менлигуловна , Чикатуева Любовь Анатольевна , Василенко Игорь Иванович
Published: December 2020

Цель: в настоящей статье предлагается комплексный подход к прогнозированию рынка страховых услуг, базирующийся на совместном использовании как классической, так и новой «нелинейной» статистики. Обсуждение: предложенные и апробированные авторами методы представлены в виде многокритериальной (двукритериальной) математической модели для оценки трендоустойчивости временных рядов страхования. В качестве первого критерия авторами предложен показатель, отражающий глубину памяти временного ряда в виде нечеткого множества, полученный на базе R/S-анализа, второй критерий – показатель Херста. Результаты: применение двукритериального подхода к оценке трендоустойчивости временных рядов позволяет дифференцировать их по показателю трендоустойчивости и подобрать работающие прогнозные модели.
Основание динамики рыночного взаимодействия в пространственно-временном описании на современных турбулентных биржах с позиций теорий ценности и полезности (часть 2)
Authors: Левин Борис Аркадьевич
Published: December 2020

Цель: в продолжение [9, 10] в статье осуществляется дальнейшее обоснование биржевых волн и их суперпозиции в процессах рыночного взаимодействия с учетом турбулентности в долговременном периоде на основе аналогии закономерности образования природных волн в различных средах. Обсуждение: мировую биржевую торговлю будут постоянно «лихорадить» финансовые и другие потрясения и неустойчивости [3]. В предыдущих материалах [9, 10] было доказано, что основная причина развивающихся биржевых кризисов – это естественное увеличение скоростей биржевого обмена типа «купли – продажи» акций или других аналогичных производных инструментов. Скорость обменных биржевых операций и процесс турбулентности привели к тому, что брокеры-трейдеры одновременно оказались в роли биржевых покупателей и биржевых продавцов. Возникли непредсказуемые ценовые изменения в виде дополнительных ценовых «скачков», вплоть до минусовых значений, которые привели к неуправляемым нарушениям устойчиво проявляемых ранее биржевых тенденций горизонтальных трендов. В результате происходят потери существенной части прибыли, что так часто приводит к неминуемому разорению трейдеров или брокеров. Поэтому продолжение моделирования биржевых процессов в условиях турбулентности в длительный период базировалась и на доказательстве происхождения и развития природно-возникающих волновых процессов. Обоснование природных процессов возникновения таких явлений и на биржах даст возможность моделировать и прогнозировать биржевые процессы при изменениях биржевой среды. Результаты: моделируются волновые процессы в условиях турбулентности при биржевых взаимодействиях в разных временных интервалах с учетом принципов экономической динамики применением математической интерпретации классических теорий полезности и ценности товара. Доказывается природное единство происхождения и развития волновых процессов в различных средах, в т.ч. и волновые процессы, возникающие в биржевом пространстве в условиях турбулентности за счет воздействия колебательных движений во временном экономическом периоде, определяемом в результате влияния детерминант спроса или/и предложения на материализованную субстанцию, заполняемую акциями или другими производными инструментами. Это позволяет понять природу процессов, происходящих в рыночной среде при проявляемых в них ценовых турбулентностях, и получить новое научное обоснование их в пространственно-временном описании при изменении современных условий.

Authors: Мишон Елена Витальевна , Лубенцов Артем Александрович
Published: December 2020

Цель: исследования заключается в определении возможностей и перспектив развития современной региональной промышленной политики за счет использования нового инструментария, в том числе применения такого инструмента, как цифровая модернизация. Предметом исследования выступают организационно-экономические отношения, возникающие между субъектами реализации промышленной политики в процессе цифрововй модернизации. Обсуждение: по вопросам значимости и целесообразности использования промышленной политики мнение исследователей совершенно однозначно – это перспективный инструмент государственного управления. Следует отметить, что традиционные инструменты разработки и реализации промышленной политики рассматриваются достаточно широко и всесторонне, чего нельзя сказать о таком относительно мало изученном инструменте, как цифровая модернизация промышленности. Несмотря на то, что существующая ситуация сложилась в силу объективных причин (сам термин «цифровизация» и соответствующие процессы вошли в сферу интересов экономистов относительно недавно), она требует ускоренного рассмотрения, теоретического исследования, глубокого анализа для последующего практического применения. Результаты: проведенные исследования на основе системного подхода с применением аналитического, логического, статистического методов, метода анализа и синтеза, а также компаративного анализа являются обоснованием целесообразности обращения к цифровой модернизации при разработке и использовании региональной промышленной политики.

Authors: Afonin Aleksey O. , Leksikov Andrey A. , Leksikov Alexander A. , Govorun Ilya V. , Serzhantov Alexey M. , Ugryumov Andrey V.
Published: December 2020

This paper deals with investigation of the coupling coefficients between the matching circuit and the input resonators of channels in a microstrip diplexer. Diplexer channels are two-section filters, and matching circuit is regular non-resonant segment of a microstrip line placed between input resonators of channels. The common port is connected to outer end of the segment and its second end is opened. Research was carried out theoretically using a computer program developed on the basis of mathematical expressions obtained by means of one-dimensional models and quasi-static approximation. The results show that a value of coupling is quite large and the use of the matching circuit in a form of a non-resonant segment of a microstrip line allows to design diplexers with wide fractional bandwidth of the channels
Translation, Approbation, and Preliminary Psychometric Evaluation of the Russian Version of the Job Anxiety Scale by B. Muschalla and M. Linden
Authors: Garanyan N.G. , Sharapova A.V. , Sorokova M.G. , Mikita O.Y. , Boyko S.L.
Published: December 2020

The paper presents the results of approbation of the Russian-language version of the Job Anxiety Scale (JAS) by B. Mushalla and M. Linden, based on a differentiated clinical approach to anxiety states during work. The 70-item scale was translated into Russian and tested in a sample of 410 subjects, who were professionals in various fields. The exploratory factor analysis procedure identified a five-factor structure that was different from the original one. The factors were named as follows: 1) Discomfort, tension, and anxiety at work with the conviction of its harmfulness; 2) Social anxiety and avoidant behavior in the workplace; 3) Experiencing injustice and exploitation in the workplace; 4) Anxiety for the preservation of the workplace and the future; 5) Cognitions about one’s inefficiency. High reliability of the Russian version of JAS has been established. The Cronbach’s α coefficient for the entire scale was 0.973; the Gutmann split-half coefficient was 0.945. There were multiple correlations between the JAS scores and the symptoms of mental disorders assessed by the SCL-90-R, which can be considered as evidence of the external validity of the scale.

Authors: Kholmogorova A.B. , Rakhmanina A.A.
Published: December 2020

The paper presents a three-factor version of the Physical Perfectionism Scale. The study was conducted on a sample of students living in Moscow (n=125) and Astrakhan (n=75), including 155 women and 45 men (Mage=19,5; SD=1,83). The factor structure of the questionnaire was confirmed by means of confirmatory factor analysis. The model did not pass the test for gender invariance but showed high fit indices regardless of the cultural standards adopted in the place of residence of the respondents. The identified factors were found to be significantly associated with dissatisfaction with one’s appearance, perceived socio-cultural pressure, as well as fear of negative assessment, and the severity of symptoms of depression.

Published: December 2020

Wanting to test Makaveev's observations on the indifferent and beneficial action of warm baths during the month, the author exposed the action of salty baths in 27 -28 menstruating women on the Slavic mineral waters and describes briefly seven such baths. Conclusions from the last ones are as follows: common salt baths at 27 -28 R. With the addition of several buckets of lye, they do not produce any bad effects, on the contrary, they even quench pain, and the amount of blood lost either does not change, or decreases. Another series of observations by the author dulal with general or zone warm baths at 31 -33 R., without the addition of salt; From five observations the author concludes: in women with a normal sexual apparatus, baths at 32 -33 R., lasting 20 minutes, do not produce any harmful effects on the course of regulation and even reduce the amount of blood lost. In the third row (21 cases), the observation of the effect of baths on menstruating, with inflammatory changes in the pelvic organs, the same result was obtained: baths do not increase blood loss, sometimes they reduce the amount of blood lost, and what is most important, they are effective.
Sağlık Alanında Maliyet ile İlgili Yayımlanmış Makalelerin Bibliyomerik Analizi
Authors: TORAMAN Aynur , ASLANTAŞ ATEŞ Burcu
Published: December 2020

Bu çalışma, sağlık alanında maliyet konulu makalelerde, maliyetin en çok hangi yönünün çalışıldığını ve en fazla hangi sağlık biriminin uygulamaya konu edildiğini tespit etmek ve böylece, hangi sağlık kurumunda ve biriminde hangi konunun daha az çalışıldığını göstererek araştırmacılara yol göstermek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu amaç kapsamında çalışılmayan konuların belirlenmesi, bundan sonraki süreçte araştırma yapacak olanlara yol gösterir nitelikte olması adına da önemlidir. Bu kapsamda, DergiPark veri tabanında “hastane”, “maliyet”, “sağlık kurumları” ve “sağlık işletmeleri” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak tarama gerçekleştirilmiş ve çalışmalara ait bibliyometrik verilere ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmalar; yıllar, çalışma yapılan sağlık kurum ve birimleri, çalışma konuları ve yazar sayıları bağlamında incelenmiştir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden bibliyometrik analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bibliyometrik özellikler çerçevesinde değerlendirmeye alınan toplamda 72 makale analize tabi tutulmuştur. Analiz sonrasında, makale sayılarının yıllar itibariyle dağılımında 2016 yılından sonra büyük bir ivme kazandığı tespit edilmiştir. Radyoloji birimine ait maliyet çalışmalarının diğer birimlere oranla çarpıcı bir şekilde fazla olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak sağlık maliyeti konusunda Türkiye’de yapılan ve DergiPark’ ta yayınlanan makalelerin mevcut durumu ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Alandaki bilgi boşluğuna, bibliyometrik analiz sayesinde ışık tutulmuş ve bundan sonra yapılacak olan çalışmalara yol göstereceği kanısına varılmıştır.

French television has broadcast health magazines since the 1950s. These magazines generally give more importance to medical expertise and curative medicine. In this article, I will present a programme that stands out from these, Sidamag, which was broadcast weekly in the mid-1990s. Targeting a young public and aiming to inform on preventive measures, Sidamag producers wanted to give space and voice to non-experts. These three goals were only partially achieved. Preventive measures were present in all Sidamag shows however, content analysis showed that only 14% focused on prevention in youth. Furthermore, medical discourse remained dominant although significant space was given to witness testimonials.

Authors: Parihar Narendra B. , Patel Esha A. , N. Seeta
Published: December 2020

Background: Prescription refers to a written request from physician to patient for compounding and dispensing of medicines. The prescription comprises detail information of patient, physician, and drugs, absence of these prescription parameters may harm the patient’s safety. Inappropriate practices like polypharmacy prescriptions must be avoided as this may lead to non-compliance.Methods: A cross section observational study was conducted at a community pharmacy from September to November 2019. Permission was taken from the registered pharmacist. Prescriptions were collected from the subjects who visited the pharmacy in rural area. A checklist was prepared including all the parameters and the prescriptions were analyzed through Microsoft excel.Results: Out of 2227 prescriptions collected, patient’s name, age and weight were not written in 10.57%, 78.41%, and 12.33% of prescriptions respectively. Physician’s name, designation and registration number were not mentioned in 18.50%, 21.14%, 29.51% prescriptions respectively. Date of issue was lacking in 12.33% prescriptions. It was found that 44.49% prescriptions were illegible. It was observed that 82.81% prescriptions possessed dosage form of drug and 32.15% dose in it. The study showed that 19.2% prescriptions were polypharmacy prescriptions.Conclusions: Prescription is an authoritative document between doctor and pharmacist therefore it needs to be precise, fastidious, and scrupulous, monitoring to identify causes, analyze errors and blemishes in the prescription. One or other parameters were lacking in every prescription. ‘Educate to medicate’ this indicates that sound knowledge is requiring to prescribe therapeutically efficacious and accurate medicines in prescription.

Published: December 2020

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of action of curcumin on potassium chloride (KCl) induced contraction of isolated goat uterine tissue.Methods: KCl induced contraction in the presence and absence of log doses of curcumin were obtained with the help of force transducer and student physiograph. Also, the effect of glibenclamide (K+ATP channel blocker) and methylene blue v (nitric oxide blocker) on the contractility of uterus tissue in presence of curcumin was recorded. Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was used for statistical analysis. The percentage inhibition of height and area under curve were calculated.Results: There was decrease in the height of KCl induced contraction in the presence of curcumin 4 µM (p value 0.046) 40 µM (p value=0.028) and 400 µM (p value=0.028). There was reduction in area under curve of KCl induced contraction in presence of curcumin 4 µM (p value=0.463) 40µM (p value=0.027) and 400 µM (p value=0.028). There was decrease in the height (p value=0.046) and significant decrease in area (p value=0.046) of KCl induced contraction in the presence of curcumin 100 µM and glibenclamide. There was decrease in height (p value=0.027) and area (p value=0.028) of KCl induced contraction in the presence of curcumin 100 µM and methylene blue.Conclusions: Curcumin causes relaxation of goat uterus. Since methylene blue and glibenclamide were not able to reverse the inhibition produced by curcumin it implies curcumin may not act via the nitric oxide pathway nor does it interact with K+ATP channels to relax the uterus.

Background: COVID-19 patients experience cytokine storm which cause pulmonary and extra-pulmonary complications. Effective antiviral and immune boosters are need of hour to treat COVID-19 as well as post COVID complications.Methods: In this study involving mild COVID-19 we randomized 40 patients to receive a Herbovir syrup along with standard of care (SOC) or SOC alone in 1:1 ratio. We evaluated the benefits of Herbovir syrup by assessing clinical outcomes and improvement in immune markers (LDH, CRP, D-dimer).Results: At the end of the study the immune markers in Herbovir group improved significant compared to control group. In patients who received Herbovir, LDH decreased from 334 U/l at baseline to 254 U/l at the end of treatment (p value <0.009), CRP decreased from 7.4 mg/l to 3.1 mg/l (p value=0.0171) and D-dimer decreased from 0.610 mg/l at baseline to 318 mg/l at the end of study (p value=0.001). TLC values did not go below normal range in Herbovir group whereas 8 patients in control group had low TLC at the end of study. Early recovery from COVID 19 symptoms was observed in >75% patients in Herbovir treated group.Conclusions: Herbovir accelerated recovery of COVID-19 patients by early improvement in clinical symptoms and immune markers in this study and results clearly indicates that Herbovir syrup has antiviral, immune booster activity and has definitive role in the management of mild COVID-19 patients along with standard of care.

Background: Congenital heart disease is defined as a gross structural abnormality of the heart or intrathoracic great vessels that is actually or potentially of functional significance. The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of congenital heart disease.  Methods: It was a hospital based Cross-sectional study carried out prospectively in the department of pediatrics of Rajshahi medical college and hospital from July 2011 to December 2011. The study population was all the children up to 12 years of age admitted in three pediatric units of this hospital during the study period.Results: Among the 147 clinically suspected cases congenital heart disease was confirmed in 110 cases by echocardiography. Thrill was mostly present in 60.5% of VSD cases, in 42.1% of PDA, in 50% of A-V canal defect and 10% of multiple lesions patients. Palpable P2 was present in 27.9% of VSD cases, 15% of TOF, 50% of PS and 30% of multiple lesions patients. Left parasternal heave was found in 25.6% of VSD cases, 15.6% of ASD, 88.2% of TOF, 50% of PS and 40% of multiple lesions patients. Cardiomegaly was present in 5.3% of PDA, 50% of COA, 50% of PS and 20% of multiple lesions cases. Plethoric lung field with cardiomegaly & consolidation was observed in 10% of VSD and 21% of PDA cases. Cardiomegaly with consolidation was observed in 11.6% of VSD & 15.6% of ASD cases. Boot shape heart with oligamic lung was observed in 88.2% of TOF patients. Pulmonary opacity/consolidation was found in 4.7% of VSD cases.Conclusions: It appeared that incidence of CHD is quite significant in RMCH.
An observational cohort study on the etiology and outcomes of neonates with thumb in flexion sign
Authors: Gnanasekaran Sruthy , P. Natarajan
Published: December 2020

Background: One constant observation by Pediatricians during postnatal rounds is that many of the early neonates exhibit a sign with thumb adducted and flexed over the palm and the rest of the fingers flexed over the thumb. In an otherwise normal neonate with no obvious etiological factors, we do come across TIF sign in more than half of the early neonate. This study attempts to know weather this sign is physiological or pathological and what would be the neurological outcome of the neonates exhibiting this sign in the early neonatal period.Methods: The study was conducted in the department of Pediatrics (post-natal ward in) of Sri Venkateshwara Medical College Hospital & Research centre, Ariyur, Puducherry, a tertiary care hospital loacted in a rural area.Results: Among 227 study participants 152(67%) had TIF sign. The infants born after history of fetal distress had higher incidence of TIF sign (76.1%) with a p value 0.05. One significant finding was that all the 7 infants who had language delay had history TIF sign within 7 days of life. The p value was 0.01.Conclusions: The pathological view of the TIF sign is, perhaps, a sign of minimal insult to the developing brain from which it recovers over a period of few months. From our study we conclude that the incidence of TIF sign was about 67 %. Thumb in Flexion sign has clinical significance with etiological factors like fetal distress in apparently healthy full-term infants. The secondary outcome of TIF sign was isolated language delay which was present in babies who had TIF sign within first week of life without neurological deficits up to 1 year of life with statistical significance. Hence it is recommended that the neonates with this sign need periodic neurological evaluation.

Background: Depression, anxiety, and stress are challenging constraints that can greatly affect mental well-being leading to social, occupational, and physical impairments. Lockdown and social distancing have come to be the norms for preventing and controlling COVID-19, however maintaining these preventive measures for months could add to the burden of mental health. This study aims to assess the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress during COVID-19 lockdown and to identify associated factors among adult individuals in Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia.Methods: The study utilized a quantitative descriptive design and data were gathered by means of online survey during the 10th week of lockdown. The survey contained demographic queries and other questions helping in identifying possible factors that may led to the three stressors along with DASS-21. A total of 1874 respondents participated in the study. Results: Results revealed the prevalence of depression was (55.2%), anxiety was (64.5%) and stress was (45%), with degrees ranging from mild to extremely severe. Age was noted to negatively correlate with depression, anxiety and stress. The prevalence of DAS is found to be positively correlated with having a family history of depression or anxiety. Additionally, having chronic illnesses has been noted to have a positive relationship with both anxiety and stress. Taking care of an elderly or sick family member have a positive correlation with anxiety.Conclusions: This study highlights the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on depression, anxiety and stress levels among adult population. The findings of this study revealed mild depression, moderate anxiety and mild stress. In more details, near to third of respondents were having moderate to extremely severe depression level. Participants with moderate to extremely severe anxiety comprised nearly half of the sample and one third of respondents were having moderate to extremely severe stress.

Published: December 2020

Background: The diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a challenge in clinical practice. Traditional diagnostic methods are very useful but don't provide enough sensitivity and specificity. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) has been developed and widely used for the diagnosis of TB. This article reviews the characteristics, metabolism and clinical uses of ADA for the diagnosis of TB in clinical practices.Methods: This study was carried out in the department of chest and TB, GMC, Amritsar, Punjab, India. In this study total 50 who attended outpatient department (OPD) and indoor patients of adult age and either sex were taken. Patients with pleural effusion as determined by clinical and or radiological means, thoracocentesis on who yield a minimum amount of fluid enough to carry out routine test were included in the study.Results: Most of the patients were between the age group of 15-34 years, of those 72% were males and 28% female. Most of the patients of tuberculous effusion were from younger age group between 25-34 years. Most common symptom was breathlessness (90%) followed by fever (75%), cough (75%) then chest pain (72%). The diagnosis of TB was made in 40 patients (80%), while in 10 patients (20%) TB were excluded (malignancy and miscellaneous disease) based on history, clinical and laboratory findings. Sensitivity of ADA in diagnosing TB pleural effusion was 95% and specificity 80%.Conclusions: ADA level of the pleural fluid is a non-invasive test. Pleural fluid ADA is useful in early diagnosing of tuberculosis pleural effusion. So the analysis of ADA levels can be done simply, quickly and cheaply.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus or the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection is a novel viral infection causing the 2020 pandemic affecting primarily the respiratory system in the form of influenza like illness, severe acute respiratory illness or asymptomatic respiratory illness and other systems. The cardiovascular system may also be affected, with or without a prior history of cardiovascular diseases. Myocardial injury is common among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 due to stress cardiomyopathy, hypoxic injury, ischemic injury due to cardiac microvascular damage or epicardial coronary artery disease and cytokine storm, however rhythm abnormalities is affected rarely in a transient or severe manner causing rhythm disturbances. The concerns about COVID‐19 may result in a delay in proper approach and prompt management in many emergent medical conditions, such as cardiovascular problems. Here, we describe our experience with 4 COVID-19 patients with varied cardiac manifestations presenting to our hospital during the months of September- October 2020.

Published: December 2020

Abdominal pain is a symptom associated with both serious and non serious medical issues, is a frequent complaint in childhood. Abdominal epilepsy (AE) is a rare cause of chronic recurrent abdominal pain. AE is usually seen in paediatric group, but there is recorded documentation even in adults. AE is almost always a diagnosis of exclusion. We herein report a case of a 13 years old female patient with h/o recurrent bouts of abdominal pain with vomiting, all routine investigations and imaging modalities were normal. Since all common causes were ruled out, an EEG was taken which showed epileptiform discharges. She was started on anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs), which resulted in symptomatic relief and EEG taken one month after initiation of treatment turned out to be normal.
