Forecasting financial and economic indicators activities of enterprises using charts
Authors: Parmacli Dmitrii
Published: December 2023

It is emphasized that the forecasting of financial and economic performance of enterprises has its own characteristics, due to the fact that income from product sales, gross and net profits, as a rule, are unstable. This is especially true for agricultural organizations and processing enterprises. ATU Gagauzia is located in the epicenter of the zone of risky (unsustainable) agriculture. The methodology for forecasting the financial and economic performance of enterprises requires clarification and, if possible, the use of uniform approaches available for use in practice, both for educational purposes and in agricultural organizations. A graphical forecasting method is proposed as the simplest and most accessible for practical use. It is based on the use of charts, analysis of their trends and approximation coefficients, reflecting the trend in the development of economic phenomena over the past 5 years or more. if the approximation coefficient is 0.8 or higher, a linear trend can be used for forecasting. If the approximation coefficient is in the range of 0.5 - 0.8, the forecast value of the indicator should be determined as an average value calculated from linear and polynomial trends. With an approximation coefficient below 0.5, the forecast is calculated as the average of linear and polynomial trends based on the use of annual moving averages. The article presents a methodology for calculating the forecast values of income from sales, equity and net profit on the example of a specific enterprise of ATU Gagauzia for 2013-2022.
Evaluation of types of product reproduction in agricultural organizations
Authors: Parmacli Dmitrii , Dudoglo Tatiana , Todorici Liudmila
Published: December 2023

It is emphasized that reproduction in agriculture has its own characteristics, which is due to the decisive influence of the natural biological system, i.e. land, plants, animals. Natural and climatic conditions directly affect cultivated crops in crop production. Agricultural organizations of the autonomy grow wheat, barley, peas, corn, sunflower, rapeseed, fruits and grapes. These crops are leading; they occupy more than 95% of the land in cultivation. In this regard, the article examines the production indicators of these crops over the past 20 years. Calculations to determine the average annual rate of change in the gross harvest of these crops showed that the production of wheat, corn, sunflower, rapeseed and fruits is characterized by expanded reproduction. To substantiate the factors of production growth, calculations were made to determine the average annual growth rates of cultivation areas and yields. When comparing these data, the excess of the growth rate of areas over the increase in productivity indicates an extensive type of reproduction, with the opposite ratio, an intensive type of reproduction takes place.It is noted that the production of wheat and sunflower was carried out mainly in an extensive way, since the average annual growth rate of areas outpaced the growth rate of yields. The production of rapeseed was carried out mainly in an intensive way - the growth rate of productivity outstripped the growth of sown areas. The cultivation of corn and fruits was carried out on an intensive basis: in the face of a decrease in the area of cultivation of crops, an increase in the gross harvest was ensured by increasing the yield of crops. The article used economic-mathematical, abstract-logical and graphic methods of research.

Published: December 2023

In this article, we elucidate self-esteem as a fundamental dimension of resilient managers. However, self-esteem is an essential dimension for any human being, regardless of whether he is a child, adult or elderly person, regardless of culture, personality, interests, social status, abilities. In reality, self-esteem is based on three „ingredients”: self-love, self-concept and self-confidence. Self-esteem is an important component of personal development and career success for anyone, including managers. Resilient managers tend to have a healthy self-esteem that is balanced and based on a realistic understanding of their abilities and capabilities.

Published: December 2023

To investigate the many bacteriocidal properties of chaulmoogra oil, which are used to treat leprosy and TB. Chaulmoogric acid, an antibacterial substance, is the main active component of chaulmoogra oil. The common name Chaulmoogra is used to refer to the tree Hydnocarpus kurzii, which belongs to the Flacourtiaceae family. Thailand, Myanmar, and India are the native countries of this tree. The two main Indian states where this tree can be found are Assam and Tripura. The ripe seeds of plants like Taraktogenos kurzii King, also called Hydnocarpus kurzii (King) Warb., Hydnocarpus wightiana Blume, Hydnocarpus anthelminticta Pierre, Hydnocarpus heterophylla, and other species of Hydnocarpus that are members of the Flacourtiaceae family are used to make the fixed oil known as chaulmoogra. Chaulmoogra oil has powerful bactericidal effect against the bacteria that cause leprosy and tuberculosis because it contains unsaturated fatty acids. Leprosy, TB, gout, and skin disorders have all been treated with it for millennia in Ayurveda.

Authors: BOYARCHUK T.
Published: December 2023

The article presents an analysis of aspects of the sociocultural construction of tolerance in modern society. The
introduction of the article substantiates the relevance of understanding tolerance in the sociocultural construction of the
world. The main part of the article presents a theoretical analysis of the concept of “tolerance” in an interdisciplinary
research approach, thereby defining the multidimensionality of this phenomenon, which explains the presence of various
research concepts and approaches. The analyzed main theoretical sources allow us to consider the essence of tolerance
in the context of the interaction of various subjects of a multicultural society. The author of the study emphasizes that
tolerance in the modern sociocultural space is not so much a theoretical concept, but a real manifestation of the relationships
and interactions of people in society. In this regard, the presented work identifies the main mechanisms and principles
for the implementation of the sociocultural construction of tolerance, contributing to the sustainable development
of modern society. At the conclusion of the article, the author presents the conclusions that in order to construct tolerance
in a multicultural world, conditions are necessary that contribute to the implementation of constructive dialogue, mutually
beneficial cooperation of the subjects of interaction, the consistency of their actions, as well as recognition of each other’s
self-worth and self-sufficiency.

FEATURES OF THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF THE CORE MUSCLES IN BOYS AGED 14−15 YEARS
SPECIALIZING IN FIGURE SKATING
Authors: KHOLAD M.
Published: December 2023

Currently, there is an increase in the number of studies in the field of sports, affecting the justification of the
applied significance, as well as actualizing the importance of improving the functional state of the core muscles (pelvic,
hip, spinal column stabilizer muscles). In-depth consideration of these aspects is quite important for figure skating,
because of its specifics (performing elements that are difficult in coordination and technical terms, maintaining body
balance, increased risk of injury, etc.). In accordance with this intention, this study was devoted to a detailed study of the
functional state of the core muscles in boys aged 14−15 years specializing in figure skating. The choice of such a
contingent for examination is due to the age qualification in taking part in adult competitions, which, in turn, is directly
associated with the intensification of sports training and possible risks of sports injuries.

Comment détecter la présence de harcèlement sexuel au cinéma ? L’exemple de la catégorie « Sexual Harassment » d’IMDb.com
Authors: Hamus-Vallée Réjane
Published: December 2023

Cet article revient sur une difficulté méthodologique : comment élaborer un corpus filmique évoquant le harcèlement sexuel, alors même qu’il n’existe quasiment aucune recherche académique sur ce sujet et que la notion même est très peu présente dans les résumés de films ? La première partie étudie un paradoxe : l’omniprésence de situations s’apparentant à du harcèlement sexuel, dès la naissance du cinéma et tout au long de son histoire, face à l’absence de discussion de ce phénomène dans les milieux critique, journalistique ou scientifique. Une deuxième partie s’intéresse à deux études de cas, la comédie hollywoodienne Mary à tout prix de Peter et Bobby Farrelly (1998) et la comédie française Promotion canapé de Didier Kaminka (1990), pour comprendre comment la prise en compte du harcèlement sexuel se met en place du côté de leur réception. Une dernière partie analyse les apports et les limites de la catégorie « Sexual Harassment » du site spécialisé IMDb.com afin de partir d’une première liste identifiée par ses internautes usagers. Quels films sont cités, dans quelle(s) période(s), genre(s) ou encore zones géographiques ? Comment y inclure des films qui ne structurent pas leurs scénarios sur la thématique du harcèlement sexuel, mais qui comportent des images et des sons évoquant clairement des actes en relevant ?
« Importunate and Rapacious Vultures ». Harcèlement et guerre des sexes dans la pensée de Mary Astell
Authors: Cottegnies Line
Published: December 2023

En 1694, la philosophe anglaise Mary Astell (1666 – 1731), publie A Serious Proposal to the Ladies, un texte de combat sur l’éducation et la nécessaire émancipation des femmes, suivi, quelques années plus tard, d’un brûlot, Some Reflections Upon Marriage (1700). Ces textes dessinent une anatomie critique des relations entre les sexes dans la société. Astell consacre des pages éloquentes au harcèlement sexuel et psychologique dont sont victimes les filles, surtout celles issues de familles fortunées. Si toutes les femmes sont par nature vulnérables, les jeunes filles bien nées sont particulièrement exposées, selon elle, car elles sont les proies de coureurs de dots et de chasseurs d’héritages. La question du harcèlement des jeunes filles est centrale dans sa philosophie de l’émancipation féminine : il faut armer les femmes contre ceux qui veulent les exploiter et les dominer. Pourtant, Astell n’encourage pas les femmes à la rébellion : en tant que penseuse Tory, elle voit dans l’obéissance un fondement de l’ordre social. C’est par l’éveil à leur condition et par l’éducation qu’elle veut libérer les filles en leur permettant de décrypter les ressorts de l’aliénation pour les combattre de l’intérieur. C’est ainsi que dans Some Reflections elle décrit par le menu les diverses stratégies de harcèlement qui ont cours dans le monde. Une fois dessillées, elles sont alors en mesure de comprendre ce qu’est le mariage : ni plus ni moins que la soumission absolue à un maître, qu’elles ont le droit de ne pas trouver souhaitable.
“George Eliot and Her Creed” by Grace Gilchrist
Authors: Law Graham
Published: December 2023

Apparently overlooked both in critical work on Eliot and in biographical research concerning the fascinating Gilchrist family, Grace Gilchrist’s long-overlooked essay on “George Eliot and Her Creed” seems never to have been reprinted since its appearance in mid-1894 in The Author. This reprinting, with a detailed introduction and notes, encourages us to reconsider the implications and repercussions of the brief encounter between the Gilchrists and the Leweses in the summer of 1871.
Materializing the Flow of Emotion: The Interface between Sound and Body in The Lifted Veil, Romola, and Daniel Deronda
Authors: Gao Menglu
Published: December 2023

This article argues that the representations of hearing play an essential role in mediating emotion, sympathy, and (anti)communitarian process in Eliot’s fictional works. I look at moments when the interface between sound and body communicates socialization or marginalization: in The Lifted Veil (1859), sound highlights the vulnerability and passivity of the individuals as opposed to the external world; in Romola (1862–63), while Baldassarre’s resistance to sound reveals his isolation, Romola’s vibration to sound communicates a more complex relationship between individual and community—though sound symbolizes historical changes that transform her into an outlier, it also connects her with her community by evoking the past. Eliot’s last novel, Daniel Deronda (1876), indicates the limitations of hearing and exposes the boundary of sympathetic vibration—by using hearing to foreshadow, legitimize, and manipulate the characters’ destinies, Eliot touches the mythical origin of emotion and puts it at the center of (anti)communitarian process.
Signs of the Great Refusal
Authors: Siegel Tedd
Published: December 2023

In recent years, developed countries have seen the rise of discussions concerning "the problem with work today." Since this literature tends to reflect the frustrations of the professional–managerial class (as well as other workers in globalized services industries in the digital age), it is often at a significant distance from the concerns of the organized labor movement and the traditional Left. Much of this literature presents an unacceptable either/or: workers are encouraged either to "lean in," and become better "human capital," or else to develop forms of palliative care for these same neoliberal selves by means of personal projects of self-optimization, recovery, and wellness.

In Signs of the Great Refusal, Tedd Siegel challenges the assumptions supporting these highly constrained possibilities, asking instead what it might take to deprivatize and repoliticize work itself under contemporary conditions, in order to make a broad-based politics of refusal potentially viable. Where postwork, antiwork, and degrowth discussions taking place today often describe and promote various "postwork imaginaries" in which the decommodification of labor is only implied, Signs of the Great Refusal is concerned specifically with the "postwork political imaginary." Taking up a question formulated by Peter Fleming, Siegel asks, “Can the impossibility at the heart of contemporary capitalism be politically activated to oppose and escape work-as-we-know-it?”

Authors: Coêlho Roger William , Leonardo Elvio João , Martimiano Luciana Andréia Fondazzi , Silva Ronan Assumpção
Published: December 2023

Background, The 5G technology has emerged as a trusted source to meet the increased demand of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, in addition to enabling Internet connectivity at high broadband speeds. Another important feature of 5G is the use of techniques such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NVF), mechanisms responsible for performing network configurations through software, in addition to massive control and management of devices using the network configuration functions or device virtualization. Results, The concern with information security in the 5G network is increasing, as cybercriminals try to access important data that is transported over the network, since the demand for connected IoT devices will be greater, thus allowing for several possibilities of attacks. The understanding of possible threats and attacks is necessary, so that new measures are taken against cybercrimes presented in the 5G and IoT networks. Conclusions, This paper aims to elucidate some conceptions of what 5G technology is and the use of IoT in this network, contextualizing the SDN and NFV techniques to allow the configuration of the functionality and management of the network by software. In addition, concerns will be reported about possible information security attacks that may occur in 5G.
Avaliação de métodos de classificação no espaço tangente para análise estatística de forma
Authors: Thomé de Farias Ariane Hayana , De Carvalho Jhonnata Bezerra
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho tem como propósito avaliar o desempenho de alguns classificadores da literatura em dados no espaço tangente no contexto da análise estatística de formas. Ademais, foram realizadas simulações considerando três cenários: (1) dados sem uso de análise de componentes principais (ACP); e (2) com uso de ACP utilizando as componentes que explicam de 70% a 75% e de 90% a 95%. Constatou-se na simulação que, quando há baixa concentração nos dados, o desempenho dos classificadores diminui, com ganhos expressivos na acurácia quando se fez o uso de ACP na maioria dos cenários observados. A etapa seguinte consistiu em realizar a classificação utilizando quatro aplicações em dados reais, considerando os mesmos cenários do estudo de simulação. Nestes, os melhores resultados foram observados em bancos de dados cujas formas médias eram expressivamente distintas entre os grupos. Por outro lado, os piores desempenhos foram observados em dados relacionados a ressonâncias magnéticas de pacientes esquizofrênicos, com acurácia máxima de 85,7%.
The Association between Postmenopausal Hormone Use and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Postmenopausal
Authors: Afridi Muhammad Hussain , Hayat Itizaz , Khan Mohammad Khalid , Ghaffar Tahir , Ahmad Wiqas
Published: December 2023

Background: 100 postmenopausal women were examined for their usage of postmenopausal hormones and their risk of Type 2 diabetes. The findings demonstrated a significant association between the use of postmenopausal hormones and the incidence of Type 2 diabetes (odds ratio, 2.7; 95% confidence range, 1.4-5.1; P 0.001). Compared to women who did not take postmenopausal hormone treatment, those who did had a nearly 3-fold increased risk of diabetes. So, this research showed how crucial it is to consider postmenopausal hormones as a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes in postmenopausal women. Objectives: This study's main goal was to determine postmenopausal hormone usage and the likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes in 100 postmenopausal women at the Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar, Pakistan; the specific goals were to define the features of the research population, evaluate the relationship between diabetes and postmenopausal hormone usage, and pinpoint risk factors for Type 2 diabetes in postmenopausal women. Methods: The research was carried out at the Hayatabad Medical Complex's Department of Endocrinology in Peshawar, Between January 2022 And January 2023. The research's participants included 100 postmenopausal women, aged 50 to 65, from the same institution who had been on postmenopausal hormone treatment for at least three months before the trial. Through blood tests (fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c), participants' risk of developing diabetes was evaluated. Additionally evaluated were other variables, including medical history, body mass index, and lifestyle choices that can influence the chance of getting Type 2 diabetes. Data were gathered using a semi-structured questionnaire, and descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to analyze the results.

Authors: Khan Mahvish Aftab , Naseer Sajjad , Nawaz Qasim , Israr Muhammad , Rehman Fazal , Haq Zia Ul
Published: December 2023

Background: Seventy five psoriasis patients who visited the Pakistani Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad from January 2021 to January 2022 were examined to assess the incidence of methotrexate-induced lung involvement. Long-term methotrexate therapy often results in lung involvement, which may present as pleuritis, pneumonia, fibrosis, and obliterative bronchiolitis. Clinical evaluations and case data were retrospectively reviewed. Out of the Seventy five individuals tested, the results indicate that 15 (15%) had mild to moderate lung involvement, while 4 (4%) had severe lung involvement. In 67% of the patients, there was no discernible lung involvement. The frequency of methotrexate-induced lung involvement at the Pakistani Institute of Medical Sciences is quite low, despite the fact that it is a possible side effect of long- term methotrexate usage for psoriasis patients. If long-term methotrexate usage raises the likelihood of lung involvement in psoriasis patients, further investigation is required. Objectives: Identifying the frequency of methotrexate-induced lung involvement in psoriasis patients seen at the Pakistani Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad from January 2021 to January 2022 is the goal of this research. Methods: Seventy five psoriasis patients who were seen between January 2021 and January 2022 at the Pakistani Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad were the subject of the research. Lung involvement was evaluated by a retrospective examination of the case files and clinical evaluation, which may have required pulmonary function tests, chest X-rays, or even chest CT scans. There was no discernible lung involvement, mild to moderate lung involvement, severe lung involvement, or no lung involvement at all. Results: Seventy-five individuals were examined; fifteen (15%) had mild to moderate lung involvement, four (4%) had severe lung involvement, and sixty-seven (67%) had no discernible lung involvement. Conclusion: According to the study's findings, although methotrexate-induced lung involvement is a possible side effect of long-term methotrexate usage for people with psoriasis, it is not very common at the Pakistani Institute of Medical Sciences. 67% of the individuals in the study had no observable lung involvement. If long-term methotrexate usage raises the likelihood of lung involvement in psoriasis patients, further investigation is required.

Published: December 2023

Background and Aim: Acute myocardial infarction is a serious public health concern around the globe and temporary pacing is required in a variety of myocardial infarction. The present study aimed to determine the in-hospital outcome of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction patients requiring a temporary pacemaker. Patients and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on 120 acute myocardial infarction patients in the Cardiology Unit of PIMS Hospital, Islamabad from January 2021 to March 2023. Each individual underwent chest X-ray, ECG and serum markers. A detailed physical history including age, gender, smoking history, occupation, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension were noted in specific designed proforma. Inclusion Criteria: Acute myocardial infarction patients who had chest pain, elevated serum markers, New onset ST Elevation and complete heart block on ECG and required pace maker during their hospitalization were enrolled. Exclusion Crieteria: Complete Heart block due to CKD or electrolyte imbalance, beta blocker or calcium channel blocker overdose, congenital heart block were excluded from the study. Results: The overall mean age was 52.64±6.8 years. The incidence of smokers, diabetes, and hypertension was 76 (63.3%), 56 (46.7%), and 52 (43.3%) respectively. The mean duration of symptom’s onset during hospital admission was 7.9±3.8 hours. About 48 (40%) patients had implanted temporary pacemaker at presentation, 66 (55%) on first post MI day, and 6 (5%) on 2nd post MI day. The in-hospital mortality was 8.3% (n=10). The incidence of ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and asystole was 28.3% (n=34), 3.3% (n=4) and 1.7% (n=2) respectively. Conclusion: The present study found that complete heart block is associated with a poorer early prognosis in individuals with ST-Elevation MI who require temporary pacemaker. In these individuals, a more intensive therapy strategy targeted at reducing early death is required. Keywords: Acute myocardial infarction, in-hospital outcome, temporary pace maker
Role of Artificial Intelligence in Periodontology
Authors: Moosa Yousuf , Bacha Syed Haroon , Raza Syed Ali , Zia Muhammad Haris , Fatima Aiman , Shaikh Amir Akbar
Published: December 2023

This study focuses into the possible links between patient demographics, smoking habits, treatment received, and periodontal disease severity before and after treatment. A new dataset of 1,000 patients was created, with information on age, smoking status, periodontal disease severity before and after therapy, and whether or not treatment was received. To obtain insight into the correlations between the variables, descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed using SPSS. A machine learning model was also created and trained on the information to predict the severity of periodontal disease following treatment. Despite the apparent complexity of the disease process, the machine learning model was discovered to be a reliable tool for forecasting disease development. The findings demonstrate an insignificant relationship between age and post-treatment severity, implying that age may not be a significant role in the progression of periodontal disease after treatment. The performance of the machine learning model, its implications for clinical practice, and prospective applications of AI in periodontology are also examined. The findings have important implications for periodontal disease patient management and treatment decisions. Furthermore, they lay the door for future AI implementations in periodontal disease prediction and management that are more sophisticated. More research is needed, however, to corroborate these findings and include more different parameters into the machine learning model.

Published: December 2023

Background: Distal humerus fractures are complex and challenging injuries that require surgical intervention. The elbow joint is a complicated hinge joint which is responsible for forearm range of motion, making it essential for everyday activities such as reaching, grasping, and lifting. The most commonly used surgical approaches for treating distal humerus fractures have evolved over time, with olecranon osteotomy (OO) and triceps tongue lift (TTL). Study design: It is a comparative study conducted at the department of orthopedic surgery CMH hospital Rawalpindi for the duration of six months from 13 December 2022 to 12 June 2023. Material and Methods: The study includes 110 patients. The age of patients ranged from 20-62 years and 21-63 years in the olecranon osteotomy and triceps tongue groups respectively. There were 50 patients that went through olecranon osteotomy and 60 patients went through triceps tongue procedure. The study was approved by the ethical committee. Results: Blood loss was more in the case of the olecranon osteotomy group (250±21.2) ml and the flexion and extension after follow-up was better in the case of the triceps tongue group. Although the complication rate does not show much difference in both groups non-union, mal-union, infection site, and heterotopic ossification were much more frequently observed in the olecranon osteotomy group as compared to the TT group. Conclusion: We conclude that triceps tongue approach improves the movement and prevent excessive blood loss and less damage as compared to the olecranon osteotomy. It does improve the movement, prevent excessive blood loss and less damage as compared to the olecranon osteotomy. Keywords: Humerus, olecranon osteotomy and triceps tongue lift.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effectiveness of external carotid ligation and preoperative feeding vessel embolization to limit postoperative bleeding during angiofibroma excision. Methods: Eighty patients between 10 and 40 with angiofibroma excision at the Department of ENT, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, between January 2020 and January 2022, were included in this Study. External carotid ligation (ECL) and preoperative feeding vascular embolization (EPV) were performed on these individuals. Following surgery, the patients were checked on at one week, one month, three months, six months, and one year. The patient's demographics, surgical conditions, side effects, and angiofibroma recurrence were recorded and examined. Results: The patient's average age was 21.3 ±7.6 years, and 100% were men. 79 of the 80 total cases were juvenile angiofibroma. The procedure lasted 65.2 minutes on average, while the average hospital stay was 1.3 days on average. There was a postoperative hemorrhage in 11 individuals (13.7%). It was found that there was no fatality rate. The incidence of postoperative bleeding in angiofibroma excision was shown to be significantly decreased (p=0.03) by preoperative Embolization with external carotid ligation. Conclusion: External carotid ligation and preoperative feeding vessel embolization may significantly decrease postoperative bleeding after angiofibroma excision. It was found that preoperative feeding vessel embolization before angiofibroma excision efficiently lowered the incidence of postoperative bleeding and should therefore be advised to patients for better treatment.

To determine the role of intermittent fasting in managing Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients in Karachi. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study conducted at Bahria University Health Sciences Campus, Karachi with total duration of three months from February 2022 to May-2022. After IRB approval random sampling technique was used to recruit subjects. 156 patients with DM type II were part of the study out of which 102 were in fasting among them 75 patients found intermittent fasting beneficial in managing blood glucose and symptoms, remaining 27 did not find it beneficial. Data Analysis was conducted by using SPSS version 25. Results: A total of 156 patients with DM type II were part of the study out of which 102 were fasting among them 75 patients found intermittent fasting beneficial in managing blood glucose and symptoms, remaining 27 did not find it beneficial thus 73.5 % patients were better able to manage DM II with intermittent fasting. There was no association between the beneficial effects of intermittent fasting with a specific type. Conclusion: Intermittent Fasting is beneficial for diabetes mellitus type II patients which proves our alternate hypothesis, but there is no specific type of intermittent fasting associated with it being beneficial. As long as a patient of DM II was observing periods of intermittent fasting, it has been show a clear evident that intermittent fasting plays a key role in the management of diabetes mellitus type II patients.

Published: December 2023

Rectal prolapse in children should be treated as a medical emergency, therefore parents and carers should speak with a doctor about the best course of action. Additionally, it's critical to keep an eye out for any indicators of difficulties in the child, such as bleeding, infection, or faecal incontinence, and to seek medical help right. Methods and Material: One hundred patients were enrolled in the trial and were split evenly between two groups. Patients in cases were administered Phenol in Almond Oil at a 5% concentration, whereas those in control were given Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate. Both groups were monitored for recurrence and complications on the first post-operative day and during the first post-operative month. Results: Children in cases had a mean age of 5.633.34 years, whereas those in control had a mean age of 7.162.80 years. There were 46 kids in cases and 39 kids in control. There was a statistically significant (P 0.05) correlation between treatment groups and decrease on day one after surgery. After the first postoperative day, 5 children in cases and 1 kid in control experienced bleeding PR. A post-POD increase in bleeding PR was not significantly different across treatment groups (P > 0.05). At the one-month follow-up, 49 of the children in cases and 44 of those in control showed signs of improvement. The proportion of patients in cases who saw their symptoms improve was significantly higher than that of individuals in control (P 0.05). Conclusion: In the treatment of rectal prolepses, we have come to the conclusion that phenol almond oil with a concentration of 5% is more efficient than sodium tetradecyl sulphate. In other words, the post-operative decline was 98% rather than 88% following the first month of follow-up care.
