The family and the values of family life in the social science of the Catholic Church - analysis of selected sources
Authors: Frączek Zofia
Published: March 2022

The aim of this text is to show the place of the family and related values of family life (such as e.g. marriage, child, mother, father, senior citizen), in the Social Science of the Catholic Church. A qualitative analysis of selected sources has been made, including documents of synods and councils, papal encyclicals and other statements of popes. Some monographs and scientific articles, thematically related to the subject, were also used, including electronic sources. The source materials analysed show the great commitment of the Catholic Church in proclaiming the truth about the family and in shaping the social awareness of its value, as well as the value of marriage as the basis of the family community and of the mother (wife) and father (husband), who are the guardians and guides of the child in life. The Church also draws attention to the value of the child and the need to protect its rights, placing it at the forefront of social and family life, especially sick children, disabled children, children deprived of parental care, victims of war and cataclysms. It attaches great importance to the elderly generation, which acts as a witness to the past and as a source of wisdom for the young, as well as a link between generations and a safeguard for the continuity of the family. Despite the ongoing changes in the Social Science of the Catholic Church, its constant concern for the family and the values connected with it can be visible.

Published: March 2022

Цель исследования - изучение строения, иннервации и состояния эпикардиальной жировой ткани аортально-пульмональной области сердца крыс в возрасте 3-4 и 18-23 мес с помощью нейроиммуногистохимических маркеров. С помощью комплекса гистологических и иммуногистохимических методов в дольках белой и бурой жировой ткани основания сердца крысы выявлены различные нервные аппараты (ганглии, скопления хромаффинных клеток, нервные стволы, пучки нервных волокон, нервные сплетения, синаптические окончания) с различной медиаторикой. Установлено, что в иннервации белой и бурой жировой ткани участвуют парасимпатические и симпатические постганглионарные нервные волокна. Они проникают в дольки в составе ремаковских тяжей варикозных аксонов вдоль артериальных сосудов, образуют терминальные синаптические сплетения типа en passant и участвуют в иннервации адипоцитов обоих типов эпикардиальной жировой ткани. Установлено, что у половозрелых крыс PGP 9.5+ холинергические терминальные нервные волокна преобладают над катехоламинергическими. В процессе старения в эпикардиальной жировой ткани обследованных животных отмечены общие нейродегенеративные, инволютивные (десиматизация) и деструктивные патологические изменения.

The purpose of the article is to study the structure, innervation and state of the epicardial adipose tissue of the aortic-pulmonary region of the heart of rats at the age of 3-4 months and 18-23 months using neuroimmunohistochemical markers. Using a complex of histological and immunohistochemical methods, various nervous apparatus (ganglia, clusters of chromaffin cells, nerve trunks, nerve fibers, nerve plexuses, synaptic endings) with different mediators were identified in the white and brown adipose tissue of the base of the rat heart. It was found that parasympathetic and sympathetic postganglionic nerve fibers are involved in the innervation of white and brown adipose tissue. They penetrate into adipose tissue as part of Remak’s cords of varicose axons along arterial vessels, form terminal synaptic plexuses of the en passant type, and are involved in the innervation of adipocytes of both types of epicardial adipose tissue. It was found that PGP 9.5+ cholinergic terminal nerve fibers predominate over catecholaminergic ones. During aging of rats, neurodegenerative, involutive (desimatization), and destructive pathological changes in white adipocytes were noted in epicardial adipose tissue.

Когнитивная функция - сложная функция головного мозга, при помощи которой осуществляется процесс познания мира и обеспечивается целенаправленное взаимодействие с ним. Она имеет условно-рефлекторную природу, возникает под влиянием внешних факторов и, совершенствуясь в процессе взросления и обучения человека, достигает своего максимума, но с течением времени когнитивное функционирование нарушается. Традиционно считалось, что снижение когнитивной функции у лиц пожилого и старческого возраста является закономерным результатом старения организма. Однако исследования последних лет указывают на то, что темп снижения когнитивной функции у пациентов пожилого и старческого возраста зависит от многих факторов, одним из которых является работоспособность сенсорных систем, в частности слуха и вестибулярной системы. Путем коррекций этих нарушений, по результатам исследований, возможно снижение темпа когнитивных нарушений. Опубликовано крайне мало работ по влиянию слуха и нарушений вестибулярной функции на когнитивную функцию, поэтому требуются дальнейшие исследования для определения наиболее оптимального комплекса профилактических и реабилитационных мер. При тугоухости высокой степени у пациентов пожилого и старческого возраста одним из немногих вариантов слуховой реабилитации является кохлеарная имплантация. В послеоперационном периоде потенциально может возникнуть нарушение функционирования вестибулярной системы. Для его предупреждения требуется тщательная предоперационная подготовка и послеоперационное ведение.

Cognitive function is a complex brain function that is important in the cognition of the reality and connecting with it. It has a complicated reflex basis, arises from external factors exposure, improves by growing up and learning till its maximum and declines in the elderly age. For several years it was believed that cognitive function drop is connected with ageing processes of the whole organism. However, the results of the latest studies show that it can be affected by many factors. Two of the most influencing factors are hearing and vestibular efficiency. Moreover, hearing and vestibular normalization can even improve the cognitive function. Unfortunately, studies, that describe the role of hearing and vestibular function in the cognitive sphere, are extremely rare. That is why further research is very important, especially in the rehabilitation tactics. For elderly patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss cochlear implantation is the optimal rehabilitation method. However, ear surgery can lead to such complication as vestibular dysfunction. That is why preoperative diagnostics and postoperative care are very important for preventing cognitive impairments.
Molecular Phylogeny and Historical Biogeography of Petroleuciscus (Teleostei: Leuciscidae) Species in Turkey
Authors: KALAYCI Gökhan
Published: March 2022

In this study, phylogenetic relationships of Petroleuciscus species in Turkey were investigated by using mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) (1140 bp). For this purpose, 84 samples from 13 populations for the cyt b gene were sequenced. The result of of genetic analysis, twenty-one haplotypes were identified and overall haplotype diversity was calculated as Hd: 0.921±0.011. The result of phylogenetic analysis of Petroleuciscus species shows the presence of two clades and four haplogroups. First clade includes Petroleuciscus smyrneaus and P. ninae from the Western Anatolia. Second clade indicated that P. borysthenicus consists of Black sea and Marmara Sea drainages and northern of Aegean Sea drainages. Haplotype network analysis and phylogeographic inference show that Petroleuciscus genus was monophyletic in Turkey.
Housing Prototypes for a Landscape of Change

Published: March 2022

Qing Cun is one hour to the south of downtownShanghai. Shanghai has gone through a period of rapid urbanization in the last 25 years, and while seemingly the opposite, Qing Cun is as much a landscape of change as the city center. Most of the working age population has left to find jobs elsewhere, leaving behind the elderly and migrant workers who rent the cheap housing. Qing Cun is a modest example of a traditional Jiangnan “water town”, which dot the region just south of the Yangtze River. The town government has replaced some of the historic structures with new ones, and while they are an improvement for the inhabitants, they represent a tremendous loss of architectural and material richness.

Published: March 2022

With housing demands rising in already dense urban environments new housing typologies must be tested. In the seventeenth century the medieval version of the London Bridge addressed issues of a growing city by coupling infrastructure with acts of domesticity included a central chapel, shops, and housing. In 2003 the Porter House by SHoP Architects challenged conventional housing typologies in New York City with their air rights proposal.The Porter House functions on multiple levels and challenges historic conservation and current zoning code. In 2009 twenty-five luxury villas were illegally built by developers on the roof of the multi-story shopping mall inHengyang, China. These examples challenge normative building practices and provide a foundation for further investigation of housing typology and urbanism of the air. In order increase density in land-poor modernizing cities, the architectural discipline must balance the opportunities of air rights proposals over historic buildings by challenging the nostalgic notion of preservation.

Ephemeral works employed as part of creative placemaking efforts can enhance and catalyze a community at critical junctures to create a sense of possibility, spark imagination and stimulate public discourse. WaterLines:RiverBank was an installation and performance that transformed a vacant bank into a“world of rippling light and sublimely meditative sound” evoking the connections, interdependency and exchange between river and town. At a moment when the historic town of Chestertown, Maryland was grappling with the potential impacts of sea level rise, ecological degradation, economic inequality and social fissures, the project sought to strengthen community by offering shared opportunities to surface and celebrate connections between residents and local identity, exploring changes that have reshaped each.
Infrastructural OpportunismI-11_A Next Generation Infrastructure Case Study
Authors:   Washington University in St. Louis, Samuels Linda C. , Teran Bernardo
Published: March 2022

Federal transportation legislation known as MAP-21 brought renewed attention to a proposed interstate corridor (I-11) connectingLas Vegas and Southern Arizona to complete a new Canada to Mexico, or CANAMEX, corridor. Using I-11 as a case study, our studio explored three key ways otherwise status quo infrastructure can be transformed into innovative, sustainable solutions: by intervening in the design and planning process, by transforming the existing mono-functional freeway prototype, and by evolving the freeway paradigm from an “engineering only”to a “sustainability first” model. Students and faculty from architecture, planning and landscape architecture investigated the possibilities of transforming the proposed I-11freeway from a limited use, auto-dominant roadway (the “red arrow” scenario) into a sustainable, multi-functional, ecologically and socio-economically focused Super corridor (the“green arrow” scenario). The results of this work, summed up on this poster, exhibit the advantages of infrastructure opportunism –leveraging investments intended for status quo infrastructure towards more broadly inclusive, design-centric, next generation proposals.

“I remembered him, with a thick gray beard and several layers of clothes standing by the bus stop when it was freezing outside. I used to stop and pick him up in my toasty car, open up the trunk with a push of a button so he could shove his heavy duffle bag, he often sit in the back seat saying basically … nothing. I tried several times to initiate conversations with him. But when he talked – hardly ever – he said jewels of wisdom. Library workers knew him as an avid reader who spent time at the library nearly every day. Teddy Henderson or Abdul-Shahid passed away on October 6,2008; he was 62. He was born in Brooklyn,N.Y., in 1946. He graduated from high school and attended Hampton University in Virginia.In 1968, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and was stationed in Washington, D.C. The story of Abdul-Shahid is not much different than the story of thousands of homeless Americans who left us perplexed with mystery.
Media education in Finnish early childhood teacher education—A curricular analysis.
Authors: Salomaa Saara , Mertala Pekka
Published: March 2022

In this chapter, we discuss the results of the media education (ME) study focusing on Finnish early childhood teacher education curricula. The research interest evolved from a specific time in the history of Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC): the first mandatory national core curriculum became effective in 2017 and it also included ME. How was the new teacher generation prepared for this new professional demand? We analysed the curricular texts and mandatory course literature of all seven Finnish university bachelor’s degree programmes that provide teacher qualifications for ECEC, to answer the following research questions: 1) How was media education positioned in early childhood teacher education programmes’ curricula during the academic year 2014–2015? 2) How did the media education related competencies articulated in the curricula fall into the common ECEC professional competence categories? The findings suggest that ME has been marginal topic in Finnish ECEC teacher education. Media education and information and communications technology (ICT) were mostly taught separately, which seems peculiar in today’s media culture. Among the general ECEC professional competencies, contextual and pedagogical ones were emphasised, whereas care competencies were neglected. Additionally, compulsory ME course literature was scarce and partly outdated. The findings raise the question of whether it is possible to expect high-quality media pedagogies from practitioners with little professional training on the topic. We conclude by providing implications for teacher education.
Microscopic observation of efficient intergrain charge transport processes in organic transistors of semicrystalline poly(3-hexylthiophene)
Authors: Kuroda Shin-ichi , Tanaka Hisaaki , Shimoi Yukihiro
Published: March 2022

Carrier dynamics in polymer transistors were investigated microscopically using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy for poly(3-hexylthiophene), a typical semicrystalline conjugated polymer. Charge transport processes across crystalline grains, indispensable for enhancing macroscopic mobility, are highlighted. For this purpose, we used high-molecular-weight (∼500 000) polymers to connect the grains by tie chains. Motional narrowing effects in ESR spectra demonstrated that efficient intergrain charge transport takes place for transistors with self-assembled monolayer (SAM) treatment on SiO2 gate insulators. Meanwhile, transistors without SAMs showed un-narrowed signals, indicating that the surface treatment possibly controls molecular orientations of tie chains more favorable for intergrain charge transport.
On the admissibility of restricting human rights and freedoms by a regulatory legal act of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the context of the threat of the spread of socially significant diseases (epidemics, pandemics)
Authors: Shishkin M. G.
Published: March 2022

The article discusses the procedure for introducing restrictions in St. Petersburg in connection with the spread of coronavirus infection in the city. The author notes that there is no consensus in Russian society about the necessity and expediency of introducing restrictions. The author believes that restrictive measures should have been introduced. At the same time, according to the author, the restrictions imposed do not have sufficient regulatory justification. At the same time, the author comes to the conclusion that the norms of the legislation of St. Petersburg require adjustments in terms of giving the state authorities of St. Petersburg the authority to restrict human rights and freedoms. The scientific novelty of the article is based on a comprehensive analysis of regulatory legal acts of the federal and regional levels.

Published: March 2022

This study looked at the economic empowerment of refugee women in the Ampain and Egyeikrom camps and how this influence household decision making. Specifically, the study was concerned with refugee women in camps who have been economically empowered and live in male-headed households. At the same time, these male heads have not been economically empowered and hence have no stable source of income. A case study design was used to conduct the study. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 104 refugee women. A semi-structured interview schedule was used to collect qualitative and quantitative data. Focus group discussion guide was used to gather data from spouses of selected refugee women. Data was analyzed and presented in descriptive statistics and verbatim quotations. The results revealed that refugee women have been economically empowered and are mostly the breadwinners in their households. However, economic empowerment has not been reflected in their contributions to household decision making. Refugee men continue to have autocratic powers in household decision making. On the other hand, refugee women are pleased to allow men to hold on to this role in exchange for the companionship and security they require as refugees in another country. Refugee men who are angered by their spouse’s new role as the breadwinner use their decision-making authority to bring these women into submission. The paper recommends that refugee women's economic empowerment include components that allow refugee men to be empowered alongside women. Additionally, refugee men should be sensitized on the benefit of the women’s economic empowerment to the family and the society, as well as the need for women to equally participate in household decision making to enrich the outcomes and as an issue for promoting women’s welfare and human right in the household.

Published: March 2022

Water management is critical to any economy's growth and development, particularly in growing economies like India.
However, due to excessive groundwater exploitation in the process of socioeconomic development and to meet the
increased needs of the growing population, the resource is currently under stress. As a result, we should make use of this valuable resource while
also conserving it. The basic goal of this study is to give a broad review of rainwater collecting systems and groundwater, as well as their possible
uses in everyday life. Many countries have implemented rainwater harvesting as a long-term strategy to complement public water supplies. Many
water-related issues have been overcome thanks to the RWH system. Another source of water that can be counted on is groundwater.
VARIATIONS IN THE ORIGIN OF INFERIOR PHRENIC ARTERIES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO CELIAC AXIS VARIATIONS ON CT ANGIOGRAPHY.
Authors: Chandak Sonal , K P Sreekumar , Moorthy Srikanth , Bhaskar Renjitha
Published: March 2022

Background: The inferior phrenic arteries are the rst branch of abdominal aorta. It is necessary to be familiar with the
anatomy of the inferior phrenic arteries in surgical and traumatic vascular injuries, haemoptysis, especially due to
pulmonary pathologies located in the lung base, and gastroesophageal haemorrhage from the gastroesophageal junction. It is the most common
extra-hepatic supply of hepato-cellular carcinomas. TACE is the treatment of choice for unresectable and advanced hepatocellular carcinomas.
Knowledge of the detailed arterial anatomy is required for successful embolization by TACE and to prevent complications. Data set Methods:
consisted of 150 patients who underwent triple phase CT angiography in GI bleed protocol. The association of CA variation with common trunk,
RIPA and LIPA, Chi-square test was used. RIPA most commonly originated from abdomina Results: l aorta in 88 (58.7%) patients followed by
celiac artery 45 (30%). LIPA most commonly originated from abdominal aorta in 77 (51.3%) patients followed by celiac artery 69 (46%). There
was no statistical signicance detected between the common truncus of IPA, RIPA & LIPA with celiac axis variations. The anatomy Conclusion:
and variations in the origin of inferior phrenic arteries are clinically important and should be evaluated with CTA prior to the surgical or
interventional management. In our study we did not nd any relationship between the origin of the common trunk of IPA, LIPA and RIPA with
celiac axis variations. The variations in the origin of inferior phrenic arteries and celiac axis variations can be explained by their embryological
development.
COMPARISON STUDY OF EXCISION VERSUS INVAGINATION OF HERNIAL SAC IN MANAGEMENT OF INDIRECT INGUINAL HERNIA
Authors: Majithiya rajesh , Modh foram
Published: March 2022

INTRODUCTION:The new concept is that ligature of richly innervated and vascularized peritoneal sac is responsible for increased
postoperative pain and other complications without any advantage in terms of recurrence rate. It is mainly due to the fact that ligation of richly
innervated and well vascularised peritoneum produces a miniature peritonitis contributing to the post-operative discomfort and other
complications. Aim of our study was to compare the difference in outcome of two different techniques of indirect inguinal hernia sac management.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Our study included open Lichtenstein tension free inguinal hernioplasty patients, 20patients in each group
(Groups I underwent invagination of hernial sac, Group II underwent excision and high ligation of hernia sac). The lower limit of age was 18 years.
All patients who underwent open Lichtenstein tension free inguinal hernioplasty with indirect inguinal hernia and without any comorbidities were
included in the study. Data was tabulated and analysed by using SPSS for windows 7 software.
RESULTS: Most common presenting complaints were swelling with or without associated dragging pain. Both groups were comparable in age,
BMI, occupation, side of hernia, length of incision, operative time and operative ndings. The mean operative time was 50 +_ 5minutes and 60
+_10 minutes in Group A and B respectively. There was no difference in mean VAS score at 6, 12, 24 hours and 7th day, but it was signicantly
higher in Group B on 21st day. Insignicant difference in complications rate was seen between the two groups.
CONCLUSION: The method of invagination of sac is better than the excision of sac with ligation or transxation in reducing the incidence of
chronic postoperative pain and decreased operative time after open Lichtenstein repair of indirect incomplete hernia.

Authors: Choudhary Anubhav , Avasarala Sandeep , Singh Tanwar Gajanand
Published: March 2022

INTRODUCTION- In India, infectious Hepatitis is one of the major health care burdens, with viral hepatitis being the most common culprit,
followed by dengue, typhoid, and malarial hepatitis. Fulminant hepatitis manifests as a sudden abnormality in liver function enzymes in a child
with no prior hepatic pathology.
AIMS AND OBJECTS- This study was aimed at identifying the various etiological factors and correlating clinical features of viral hepatitis, and
fulminant liver failure.
MATERIALS AND METHODS- This observational study was conducted in the paediatrics in-patient department of S.P. Medical College &
P.B.M. Associated Group of Hospitals, Bikaner (Rajasthan) over a period of one year.A total of 125 children with a clinical and lab-conrmed
diagnosis of acute infective hepatitis were included. Data includingclinical signs, symptoms, and laboratory parameters were obtained and
analyzed.
RESULTS- Most commonly affected age group was between 5-10 years with the mean age being 7.1±4.6 years. The most common etiology was
hepatitis A (n=39), followed by hepatitis E (n=24) and mixed hepatitis A virus (HAV)/hepatitis E virus (HAE) infection (n=20). Other causative
organisms were dengue virus (n=16), typhoid (n=13), malaria (n=9), and hepatitis B. The most common clinical symptoms were fever, jaundice,
loss of appetite, and vomiting/nausea. There were some clinical features seen more commonly in case of infection with certain organisms. High
frequency of diarrhoea, arthralgia, and thrombocytopenia was seen with HAV. Neurological, renal complications and high mortality were
associated with HEV or HAV/HEV co-infection. While retroorbital pain and purpuric rash were exclusivewith dengue, malarial hepatitis was
strongly associated with pallor and altered sensorium.
CONCLUSION- Acute infective hepatitis is most commonly caused by HAV and HEV in Western Rajasthan. It is imperative to educate the
masses regarding the prevention of common infections transmissible by infected drinking water, poor hand hygiene, improper waste disposal, and
open defecation.
STUDY ON INCIDENCE AND MANAGEMENT OF APPENDICULAR MALIGNANCY IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING APPENDICECTOMY IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL
Authors: Madhu C P , Purushotham Sanhitha
Published: March 2022

AIMS: To study the incidence and management of appendicular malignancy in patients undergoing appendicectomy in a tertiary care hospital
METHODS: A retrospective study including 1,275 patients who were admitted in JSS hospital, under surgery department, between September
2016 to September 2021. Patients were ≥ 16 years, any gender who presented with pain abdomen, abdominal distension, fever, vomiting, or mass
per abdomen, diagnosed as appendicitis or appendicular mass. Patients underwent laparoscopic/open appendicectomy or right hemicolectomy,
based on intraoperative ndings. The specimen was sent for histopathological examination and followed up for further management if required.
RESULTS: Among 1275 patients who underwent appendicectomy either open or laparoscopy, following histopathological examination of all the
appendicectomy specimens, appendicular malignancy was reported in 7 patients (0.53). All 7 patients had complaints of pain in the right iliac fossa.
On examination, 71.4% had tenderness in the right iliac fossa. Most common preoperative provisional diagnosis was acute appendicitis (57.1%). 3
patients underwent laparoscopic appendicectomy, 1 open appendicectomy, and based on intraoperative ndings, 2 underwent right
hemicolectomy, 1 resection and anastomosis with ileostomy as metastasis was present. Histopathologically, 2 patients were diagnosed with
adenocarcinoma appendix, 2 with low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm, 2 with metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma and 1 patient with
neuroendocrine tumour of appendix
CONCLUSION: Appendiceal tumors are uncommon, majority are comprised of epithelial neoplasms. Present with abdominal pain, manifest as
acute appendicitis, or incidentally discovered in appendectomy specimens during histopathological evaluation. Imaging ndings are suggestive of
acute appendicitis mostly. CT is used for staging of appendiceal tumors and subsequent follow up. In majority, appendicectomy will be sufcient,
and some require right hemicolectomy. Cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy have improved the prognosis of patients with
peritoneal disease.

Aims: Settings: To study role of Laparoscopy in treating Pediatric Inguinal Hernia and Hydrocele. Department of Surgery, Government Medical
College Srinagar. A prospective observational study involving 43 children who underwent la Materials and Methods: paroscopic repair of
inguinal hernia / hydrocele over a period of 2 years in our tertiary care institute. T Results: here were 57 children enrolled but only 43 patients were
included for the study. Age ranged from 7 month to 12 years. There were 38 boys and 5 girls in the study group. There were 32 unilateral and 11
bilateral cases. Among unilateral 26 were on the right side and 6 on the left side. 54 hernia / hydrocele / open DIR were treated laparoscopically.
IPSI for unilateral, SEAL for bilateral cases among boys and LIHIL technique was performed in girls. There were no signicant differences among
various techniques performed with respect to hospital stay, post operative analgesia requirement but difference was signicant for higher
complication rates in SEAL. Also the difference was found to be signicant when compared unilateral versus bilateral cases for operative time and
post operative return to activity. Absorbable suture material was used in all cases and there were no recurrences seen during a mean follow up period
of 16.5 months. Laparoscopic treatment of pediatric inguinal hernia/hydrocele/Open DIR i Conclusions: s a safe and effective approach. We found
a very low rate of complications which were all minor in nature and were managed conservatively. There were no recurrences thus making
laparoscopic herniotomy a potentially gold standard approach in the near future but the ideal/gold standard laparoscopic technique for pediatric
inguinal hernia appears yet to be achieved.
EFFECT OF SUBMUCOSAL INJECTION OF DEXAMETHASONE ON POSTOPERATIVE SEQUELAE FOLLOWING SURGICAL REMOVAL OF IMPACTED THIRD MOLARS: A CLINICAL STUDY.
Authors: Mathew Manu , C S Soumitran , Hussain A Syed Khaja , Akkarapatty George Johnson
Published: March 2022

Background and Objectives: Impacted third molar surgery is one of the most common procedures performed by maxillofacial surgeons in the
outpatient setting. Since the region of surgery is highly vascularized and constituted mostly by loose connective tissue that contains blood and
lymph vessels, a series of functional and structural alterations occur after extraction which is expressed as pain, swelling and trismus. These
sequelae can have a serious impact on the patient's quality of life; therefore, a reduction of postoperative complications seems a logical goal,
particularly if healing is not compromised.
Method:A hospital-based case-control study with a study population of 50 patients was done to assess the efcacy of submucosal injection of 8mg
dexamethasone on reducing the post-operative sequelae such as oedema, pain and trismus following surgical removal of impacted third molars.
The study was conducted in patients with bilaterally impacted mandibular third molars where one side is randomly selected and 8mg
dexamethasone is administered submucosally and the other side is selected as control. All the patients selected for the study were followed up on
rst, third and seventh post-operative day.
Result: The submucosal injection of dexamethasone showed signicant improvement in oedema and trismus on all postoperative days but
decrease in postoperative pain was not signicant on rst and third days but signicant on seventh day. Submucosal injection of dexamethasone 8
mg is an effective therapeutic strategy for improving the quality of life after surgical removal of impacted lower third molars.

Doen kinderen wat ze zeggen? Sociale informatieverwerking bij een licht verstandelijke handicap en gedragsproblemen
Authors: Bijlman Elske , Lamberix Ivonne
Published: March 2022

De laatste jaren wordt er steeds meer onderzoek gedaan naar emotionele en gedragsproblemen bij kinderen en jongeren met een licht verstandelijke handicap en daaruit blijkt dat deze bij hen vaker voorkomen dan bij normaal begaafde kinderen. Terwijl in onderzoek voorheen de nadruk voornamelijk lag op de cognitieve beperkingen bij deze doelgroep worden tegenwoordig ook sociale competentie en de mate waarin iemand zich kan aanpassen aan de omgeving gezien als belangrijke aspecten van het niveau van functioneren. Veel van de problemen van kinderen en jongeren met een licht verstandelijke handicap lijken voort te komen uit een inadequate wijze van sociale informatieverwerking. In dit boek geven de auteurs een kritische beschrijving van de methoden waarmee sociale informatieverwerking bij kinderen met een licht verstandelijke handicap in kaart gebracht worden. In veel gevallen maken onderzoekers gebruik van situaties waarin ze een hypothetische probleemsituatie aan het kind voorleggen. Geven instrumenten met hypothetische situaties een betrouwbaar beeld van het echte gedrag van kinderen met een licht verstandelijke handicap? Oftewel: doen kinderen wat ze zeggen?

The repellent activity of terpinolene and its effects on antioxidant, neurotransmitter and detoxifying enzymes of Rhyzopertha dominica was evaluated under laboratory condition. The terpinolene was made into 2% concentration and 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0ml dosages were made from it and replicated five times. The repellent activity of the compound was carried out by placing two a filter paper that have been divided into two equal parts into a Petri-dishes with one side been treated with the compound. The activities of SOD, CAT, GPx, AChE, CarEST and GST was determined in the larvae of the insect. The result showed that, only 1.0 ml dosage and the positive control achieved 100% repellency at 0-1 h and were significantly different from other treatments. The activity of SOD decreases with increase in dosage of the compound. The lowest SOD (0.29 µmol/min/ml) was recorded by the positive control but was not significantly different from the 1.0 ml dosage of the compound. CAT activity significantly reduced at higher dosage, while the positive control recorded the lowest CAT activity. GPx activity increased increased dosage. AChE activity decreased with increase in the compound dosage. DDVP recorded the lowest AChE activity 0.25 µmol/min/ml. CarEST and GST activities increased with increase dosage of 0.6 ml and drastically reduced at 0.8 and 1.0 ml of the compound. Terpinolene compound proven insecticidal and could be formulated to target SOD and AChE enzymes having shown significant effects on them. Thus, this could be the mode of action of the compound.

Short clinical crowns result in poor retention form and thereby leads to improper tooth preparation and ultimately failure of restoration. The purpose of this case report was performing patient customized site specific surgical crown lengthening of grossly decayed tooth structure in left mandibular 2nd premolar area. The tooth was root canal treated with width of keratinized gingiva about 2mm on buccal side, with fibrotic gingival enlargement on interdental area and lingually. Apically displaced flap on buccal side with osseous resection of 3mm and undisplaced flap on interdental and lingual side with osseous resection of 3mm was done. Optimal clinical crown length was achieved and was maintained at 3months and 6 months follow up.
Management of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Cote D'ivoire: Analysis of the Political-Hospital System
Authors: Kobenan Adjoumani
Published: March 2022

This study analyses the factors that explain the dysfunction in the management of the COVID-19 coronavirus in Côte d'Ivoire. The study was essentially qualitative, using appropriate survey tools such as documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with a category of actors in Abidjan. This enabled us to arrive at the following results: the dysfunctional management of COVID-19 in Côte d'Ivoire is linked to the failure to comply with the normative framework issued by the authorities of the Ministry of Health through the persistence of lifestyle habits that are proof of the restrictive measures announced in view of the seriousness of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Thus, the actors develop strategies outside the normative framework to redefine new types of lifestyle relationships.
Norms, Perceptions and Practices of the Population on COVID-19 in Three Sites in Abidjan: A University, a Market and a Precarious Neighbourhood
Authors: Tania Andoh Amognima Armelle
Published: March 2022

The "covid-19" coronavirus disease is a pandemic, a health crisis and a public health problem. This health crisis has become a total phenomenon affecting all sectors of the city and all dimensions of society. The first suspected case detected in March 2020 led the Ivorian state to take preventive measures against the pandemic. These include the adoption of barrier measures. However, different observations have been made depending on the time, place and population: the population has gone from a general panic to a trivialisation of the pandemic; there is a conflict between medical knowledge, between medical knowledge and popular knowledge and a failure to respect barrier measures depending on the place and social category. Every disease is a social construction because it is perceived differently in each society and culture. And it is the social representations that people have of an illness that determine their attitudes and practices. Our qualitative study contributes to describe the norms, perceptions and practices of the populations in three sites in Abidjan.

Published: March 2022

Background and purpose: Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common presenting symptom of most of the benign and malignant uterine lesions among perimenopausal women. Although age-related, systemic, iatrogenic, and hormonal causes are more common and can be diagnosed by readily available lab tests, structural causes (either benign or malignant) are of concern to the patients in perimenopausal age women, when imaging (TVS, and MRI) comes into play. This study aims to compare the role of TVS and MRI in the characterization of uterine lesions presented as perimenopausal bleeding. Results: This observational prospective study was performed at a single tertiary care centre, comprising 52 consecutive patients of perimenopausal bleeding. All patients were subjected to TVS and MRI examination and correlation with histopathology was done. Most of the patients (44.2%) in our study belonged to age group of 40 to 49 years, with mean age for benign and malignant lesions was 46.81±8.5 and 52.10 ±7.05 respectively (p = 0.025). For evaluation of malignant lesions, sensitivity and specificity of MRI (100% and 96.87% respectively) was found to be higher than TVS (60% and 93.75% respectively with false negative rate of 40%) when both were compared with histopathology. Conclusion: Although TVS continues to remain the mainstay imaging modality, MRI because of excellent tissue delineation has demonstrated its superiority to TVS, for depicting and characterizing the unique features of various uterine lesions.

Background: Many studies have shown that high circulating uric acid (UA) levels lead to both hypertension and cardiovascular complications, leading to poor patient prognosis. People with metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is closely linked to hypertension, also tend to have high SUA levels. SUA levels elevate due to metS and hypertension share common pathophysiological features, so it has been difficult to confirm their involvement in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Therefore, the aim of this present study is to find out the association between the uric acid and blood pressure levels in both male and female patients of different age groups. Methods: It was 18 months, single-centered, cross-sectional study, conducted in the department of General Medicine, at National institute of medical sciences and research hospital. Blood samples were collected from 140 participants of both genders attending the department of Medicine with hypertensive and pre-hypertensive stages to analyze serum uric acid (SUA) level and lipid profile. The potential relationship between SUA and BP was assessed by descriptive statistics for analyzing quartiles and odd ratio. Results: Among 140 hypertensive patients, 66 of them were in the 61-80 age groups. Twenty percent of patients were under the age of 20 and one percent was over 87 years of age. 40 patients with pre-hypertension, 28 (70%) of patients having elevated SUA level, while 100 of patients with hypertension, 59(59%) of having elevated SUA level. It had also been found that the diagnosis duration of hypertension and hyperuricemia was causing the elevation of SUA levels in the patients. Conclusion: The present study indicates a direct relationship between SUA levels and hypertension. SUA levels were quite a bit higher in patients with hypertension in contrast to those with pre-hypertension, suggesting the severity of hypertension related to SUA levels.
