Authors: Rajesham V. V. , Swethasri Ch. , Mamatha E. , Tiwari Keerti , Pooja Raj P.
Published: October 2019

Rational use of corticosteroids is very essential for improving patient safety on long term use. The present study aimed to study the prescribing usage pattern of corticosteroids in a tertiary care hospital. A prospective observational study was conducted in the department of dermatology, gynecology and general medicine in a tertiary care teaching hospital for the period of 6 months (August-February). All patients receiving any category of Steroid therapy were included and the prescribing and tapering pattern of steroids were reviewed. Prescribing pattern was observed and analysed in 132 participants during the study period. Cases were collected from the departments of Dermatology, General Medicine, Pediatrics and Gynecology in Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad. All the prescriptions containing steroids were included in this study and the parameters evaluated were gender distribution, age of the patients, types of steroids according to the route of administration, number of prescribed daily dose (PDD) where compared with defined daily dose (DDD). In the collected 132 cases, 162 times corticosteroids were prescribed. The steroid utilization was found to be more in female patients, the maximum number of cases with corticosteroids was found in Dermatology department (39.4%). Particularly Injection Dexamethasone (24.7%) and Tablet Prednisolone (24.7%) are mostly prescribed. Most drugs were prescribed rationally although some factors like improper history, drug administration time and tapering were deviating away from rationality. Although most of the drugs were prescribed rationally, involvement of a Clinical pharmacist in patient care can help in more rational prescribing along with prevention and early detection of ADRs which can directly promote drug safety and better patient outcomes.

Authors: Ezenobi N. O. , Ogbu H. I. , Musa G. O.
Published: October 2019

A successful treatment of wound infection is determined by the proper identification and evaluation of the varied types of microorganisms that colonize the wound surface. Such evaluation will include an antimicrobial susceptibility profiling of the invading pathogen(s) in order to implement an effective and pathogen specific treatment. The antimicrobial susceptibility profile of the bacterial species isolated from wound infections was tested to provide basis for their prudent use as antimicrobials. The standard method of antibiotic sensitivity testing with single antibiotic disc was employed in the analysis. The bacterial isolates tested were Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The organisms were isolated from samples collected from patients at different wards at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The number and percentage occurrence of each individual bacterium encountered varied among the isolates. Pseudomonas aeruginosa has the highest frequency of occurrence of 48.6% accounting for 36 of the 74 bacterial isolates. This was followed by Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli accounting for 17 (23.0%) and 11 (14.9%) respectively. Klebsiella pneumoniae was the least prevalent bacteria species accounting for 10 (13.5%) of the total bacterial count. The study shows imipenem as the most potent antimicrobial agent against the isolates tested. The isolates were moderately sensitive to gentamicin, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, but highly resistance to ceftazidime, erythromycin, sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim, cefepime, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and aztreonam. The study further reiterates the need for prudent use and control of antimicrobials.

Published: October 2019

Cr(III) and Mn(II) metal complexes of Schiff base ligand derived from phenylacetylurea condensed with salicylaldehyde (SBPS) and thiocyanate(SCN-) ion were synthesized by using microwave irradiation. Microwave assisted synthesis gives high yield of the complexes within a very short time. The molecular formulae and the geometry of the complexes have been deduced from elemental analysis, metal estimation, electrical conductance, magnetic moment, electronic spectra, FT- IR, Far IR spectra, cyclic voltammetry, thermal analysis and powder-XRD techniques. The molar conductance values indicate that the complexes are non-electrolyte (1:0) type. FT-IR spectra show that Schiff base and thiocyanate ion are coordinated to the metal ion in a monodentate manner. The electronic spectra and the magnetic moment indicate the geometry of the complexes is found to be octahedral. The antimicrobial activities of ligands and their Cr(III) and Mn(II) complexes were studied against the microorganisms, viz., E. coli, Klebsiella Pneumonia, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, Bacillus cereus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus sojae and Candida albicans by agar well diffusion method. The complexes show moderate activity against the bacteria and enhanced activity against the fungi as compared to free SBPS ligand. The free radical scavenging activity of the complexes and the ligands has been determined by measuring their interaction with the stable free radical, DPPH. The complexes have larger antioxidant activity as compared to the ligand. DNA-binding properties have been studied by fluorescence-emissions method. The results suggest that the complexes strongly bind to DNA because of metal complexes are well-known to speed up the drug action and the ability of a therapeutic agent which can frequently be enhanced upon coordination with a metal ion.

Published: October 2019

Presence of different bacterial pathogens in the urinary tract results in the occurrence of infectious diseases among the human beings. The emerging multi drug resistance capacities of pathogens are the major constrain in the treatment of bacterial diseases. Researchers are trying to develop new antimicrobial agents from natural resources including marine organisms to combat the issue. This research work has carried out to investigate the anti-bacterial activity of sea star Pentaceraster mammillatus against ten common UTI pathogens. Four different polar solvents viz; methanol, acetonitrile, dichloromethane and ethanol were used for the experiment. At the lowest concentration (250µg/ml), none of the above said extracts has showed any inhibitory effects in the pathogens; however the concentrations such as 500 and 1000µg/ml of extracts inhibited the bacterial growth. Acetonitrile and dichloromethane showed higher inhibitory effects on gram positive bacterial strains Mycoplasma genetalium (4.3 ± 0.23 mm) and Staphylococcus aureus (4.1 ± 0.21 mm) respectively. Ethanolic extract showed some good inhibitory effects on M. genetalium (3.5 ± 0.14 mm) and the methanolic extract demonstrated relatively lower inhibition.
Development of an Oxcarbazepine Solid Dispersion Using Skimmed Milk to Improve the Solubility and Dissolution Profile
Authors: Shah M. , Patel D.
Published: October 2019

Oxcarbazepine has low solubility and low oral bioavailability, so it’s a challenge to formulate suitable dosage form. In this present investigation, to improve the dissolution rate and solubility, skimmed milk is used as a carrier. Physical mixers were prepared using various drugs to carrier ratio and spray drying technology was used to develop solid dispersion with the carrier. Various techniques were used to characterize the solid dispersion immediately after they were made which includes differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and in-vitro dissolution profiles. The differential scanning calorimetry thermograms of raw drug indicated of its anhydrous crystalline nature. In thermograms of solid dispersion, the characteristic peak was absent suggesting the change from crystalline nature to amorphous form. X-ray diffraction confirmed those results. X-ray diffraction results of raw drug showed highly intense peak characteristic of its crystalline nature where solid dispersion showed less intense, more diffused peak indicating the change in crystalline form. Fourier transforms infra-red spectroscopy studies showed there was no interaction between drug and carrier. Scanning electron microscopy support the amorphous nature of mixer. The whole formulation showed distinct enhancement in the drug release behavior and solubility. The optimum oxcarbazepine to skimmed milk ratio 1:3 enhances the in-vitro drug release by 3.5 fold and also show distinct increase in solubility. It was concluded that for improvement of solubility of poorly water soluble oxcarbazepine, skimmed milk powder as a carrier can be utilize very well.

Efavirenz, a non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor is an important drug for treating patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus infections. It belongs to BCS class II have low solubility and poor intrinsic dissolution rate. It is highly basic (pKa 10.2) which makes it suitable candidate for floating dosage form for continuous delivery in stomach.The study was aimed to improve the solubility by solid dispersion technique.Saturation solubility study and drug content were evaluated for solid dispersion preparation. Saturation solubility shows 8 fold increases in 0.1 N HCL compared to plain drug and drug content was found to be between 95%-102%. Further effervescent floating gastroretentive drug delivery system was prepared by 32 full factorial design with independent variables i.e., concentration of HPMC K100 as matrix forming agent and citric acid as gas generating agent. Lag time, floating time, percent drug release were studied as responses. The optimized batch exhibited floating lag time of 40 sec and the in vitro release studies showed 89.5% drug release in 9 h and tablet remained floating for greater than 8 h. The study thus demonstrated that solubility is increased by solid dispersion technique and floating delivery systems may increase solubility and bioavailability of Efavirenz.

En el otoño de 2018, los grupos colectivos TeatroSinParedes y Thèatre 2 L’acte montaron la pieza colaborativa francomexicana Auxilio: Au Secours, en el Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco, durante el quincuagésimo aniversario del 2 de octubre de 1968. En esta pieza se combinan el teatro, la poesía, la narrativa de Roberto Bolaño y configuraciones espacio-temporales que obligan a los espectadores a abandonar su pasividad, enfrentarse con el legado del 68 y reconocer su responsabilidad en la creación del futuro de México. Incorporando las teorías de Rancière, Benjamin y otros, este artículo muestra cómo la representación de Auxilio descentraliza el 68 al desplazarse entre pasado, presente y futuro y al representar el ciclo de represión, violencia y desilusión que impide que el pasado muera y, por ende, que los mexicanos contemplen el futuro.Liminal Theatre, Poetry and a Past that Lives on in the Tlatelolco Plaza: Auxilio: Au SecoursAbstractIn the fall of 2018, collective theatre groups TeatroSinParedes and Thèatre 2 L’acte staged a collaborative Franco-Mexican piece, Auxilio: Au Secours, in the Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco as part of the fiftieth anniversary of October 2, 1968. In this performative work, theatre, poetry, the narrative of Roberto Bolaño, and temporal-spatial configurations are combined in order to force the spectators to abandon their comfortable passivity, come to grips with the legacy of 1968, and recognize their responsibility in determining Mexico’s future. By incorporating the theories of Rancière, Benjamin, and others, this article shows how the creators of Auxilio decenter 1968 by moving among past, present, and future; thereby representing the cycle of repression, violence, and disillusion that keeps the past alive, and impedes Mexicans to look into the future.Recibido: 08 de julio de 2019Aceptado: 16 de agosto de 2019

A Study of 2 Samuel 13:1–22 as a Solution to Intimate Partner Violence in Nigeria
Authors: Ademiluka Solomon Olusola
Published: October 2019

With particular reference to women abuse, this article examines how the Tamar rape narrative can be employed as a solution to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Nigeria. Applying the text in this way, Tamar’s action of mentioning her experience encourages victims of sexual abuse to voice their ordeal as this would expose their assailants and serve as a deterrent to intending abusers. The role of David as a parent and family head reminds every father to aspire to be a good example to his sons as regards attitude to women; it also points to the need to re-awaken those African virtues of old which restricted sex to marriage. In the Nigerian context, the role of David as the custodian of the law relates to the fact that the relevant IPV laws should be updated and adequately applied. A proper investigation of Amnon might reveal that, apart from his family background which might influence his behaviour, he might also be under the influence of certain situational and individual factors.
Natural Flavonoids as Superior Reagents for Separation of Clinically Important Zr Radionuclides
Authors: Ghosh Kalpita , Naskar Nabanita , Choudhury Dibyasree , Lahiri Susanta
Published: October 2019

This paper exploits the affinity of bio-flavonoid hesperidin, isolated from orangepeel, towards the separation of clinically important 88Zr radionuclide from high energy proton bombarded yttrium target. The extraction of Zr with hesperidin was studied by solid-liquid extraction (SLX) technique over a wide pH range. The advantage of hesperidin is that it acts as separating agent as well as free-radical scavenging agent upon injection of the radionuclidehesperidin complex in-vivo. The stability of isolated hesperidin under strong radiation field was also studied. The selectivity of the bio-flavonoid towards 88Zr was maximum at pH=4 where in >78% Zr was extracted with <1% contamination from bulk yttrium target.
Iridium-Catalyzed Silylation of Five-Membered Heteroarenes: High Sterically Derived Selectivity from a Pyridyl-Imidazoline Ligand
Authors: Karmel Caleb , Rubel Camille , Kharitonova Elena , Hartwig John
Published: October 2019

We report that the silylation of five-membered ring heteroarenes occurs with high sterically derived regioselectivity when catalyzed by the combination of[Ir(cod)(OMe)]2 and a phenanthroline ligand or a new pyridylimidazoline ligand that further increases the regioselectivity. The silylation reactions with these catalysts produce high yields of heteroarylsilanes from functionalization at the most sterically accessible C–H bonds of these rings under conditions that the borylation of C–H bonds with previously reported catalysts formed mixtures of products or products that are unstable.

Published: October 2019

The article focuses on the study of the interaction of digital processes in the “city-region-country” system when assessing the overall level of digital transformation of the Russian economy, since the works devoted to the consideration of the results of the introduction of digital technologies in the country do not analyze the features of territorial digital processes. The research aims at the necessity and possibility to show specific digitalization features of cities and regions in the existing evaluation methods of the Russian economy digital transformation index. The researchers used logical, systematic and comparative analysis methods to analyze the digitalization indicators of the largest Russian cities and regions. The authors analyze the digitalization indicators of the largest Russian cities and regions between 2014– 2018; they define indicators, reflecting regional disproportions of the national economy digitalization; and develop new methods to evaluate digital inequality in the system “city-region-country”. The use of the suggested indicators will improve the existing methods of evaluation of the largest Russian cities digitalization, increase the fairness of digital processes and technologies evaluation for making decisions in the system of state, regional and municipal government.

Published: October 2019

The issue of improving the financial reporting auditing process has been an important development of the financial services market for many years. The wave of claims to the quality of auditing findings has led to reform not only in the profession itself, in the form of the reworking of international auditing standards (ISA), but also to the review of the organization of state oversight and supervision of the quality of audit. Currently, the auditing supervision authorities in the Russian Federation are building their work in accordance with the agreements formed at the international level, including the documents of the International Forum of Independent Audit Regulators (IFIAR — International Forum of Independent Audit Regulators). At the annual forum taken place in April 2018, a number of organizational decisions were adopted, including the first-ever Strategic Plan for 2018–2021, which aims to ensure the quality of audits in cooperation with the global and regional networks of auditing organizations, standards-setting bodies and other key stakeholders. In order to ensure such interaction, the development strategy of auditing regulators in other IFIAR member states is of particular importance.
Mohammad in Archipelago: Spatializing Spirituality in Majelis Shalawat Syubbanul Muslimin in Kalikajar Probolinggo
Authors: Huda Nurul
Published: October 2019

Using Mohammad in Archipelago as a metaphor of the postmodern religious landscape, this article argues that Mohammad, a prophet of Muslim born in Mecca Saudi Arabia, has undoubtedly become a consumer item in shalawat council (Majelis Shalawat) practiced in many areas of Indonesia, including Probolinggo. This new religious phenomenon has been reproduced in line with the emergence of blurred negotiation between the profane and the sacred, and by the fact that religion is always posed in social life and in business life, shalawat practice also depends itself on the meaning and process making, or the certain socio-cultural context. This study sets the Majelis Shalawat Syubbanul Muslimin, located at Probolinggo, in relation with the ways they reproduced its penetration of religion vis-a-vis market economy. It also portrays how Syubbanul Muslimin produced a spatial order of certain followers since they have successfully practiced modes and techniques of production, consumption, and structuration of their own spiritual market. Additionally, it also contributes to the construction of charisma they have shaped by using the economic-political discourse of media.

The annual death celebration (haul) to religious figure is a key instance of the commodifications of prosperity Islamic mode at institutional level, where strong modern business organizational skills are matched with charismatic leadership. This study implies that successful market mechanism makes haul a consumer commodity attractive to spirituality hungry middle class Muslim community in Probolinggo. It ethnographically observes the intertwining of market and Islam where Muslims community looked to the market as a critical source for experiencing and publicizing a sense of sacred identity. Commodification of religion is deeply embedded in the haul or regularly ziarah (pilgrimage) for every 11 Syawal to Muhammad Hasan, a passed away central figure of kiai in Pesantren Zainul Hasan Genggong Probolinggo, and it makes a strong presence in the spiritual marketplace through commodifications of Kiai Hasan’s amulet and memorabilia, including his photos, tasbih, jimat, akik, and others.

Another Meaning of Ziarah Kubur in Madura
Authors: Fahrurrazi Fahrurrazi
Published: October 2019

In this article I give another meaning of ziarah kubur (visiting tombs) always suggested as animistic way because some scholars always question is it suitable for Islam or not. Specifically I will study the worldview of maduranese muslims perceiving death as represented in oral tradition, called syi’iran (poem). Leaving the dominant World Religion paradigm and analyzing it using Indigenous Religion Paradigm by applying “personhood” concept like scholars who studied Indigenous Religion, it can be seen that there is interpersonal relation between whom alive and dead because the dead still has human attribute Also, it is because they are still interdependent and share each other although one of them was death as represented in the poem. So, it can be concluded that the practice of ziarah is to recontextualize the relation.
