Comparative Efficacy of Levofloxacin Versus Amoxycillin/Clavulanic Acid Combined with Azithromycin in Treatment of Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Authors: Musungu Vincent , Onguru Daniel , Onyango Patrick
Published: March 2024

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Early initiation of antibiotics is highly recommended. In most CAP cases, multiple drug options are increasingly becoming available, but there is often a lack of evidence that allows for a direct comparison of the efficacy of one drug versus another. 
Aim: The main objective was to compare treatment outcomes using oral levofloxacin alone and combined azithromycin and amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid in outpatient treatment of Community-acquired pneumonia.
Methods: This study was a prospective longitudinal design. Patients diagnosed with CAP were randomly assigned to first and second treatment groups. Community-acquired pneumonia was diagnosed according to America Thoracic Society criteria. The sample size of 78 was arrived at by Yamane Taro (1967) formula. Every patient diagnosed and treated in the outpatient department who gave written consent to participate was enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups. Minors below 18 years were excluded from the study. Data were analysed using SPSS for Windows version 26. An independent t-test compared the effectiveness of the two treatment groups. Changes in white blood cell count during the follow-up visits were done using a chi-square test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results. The majority, 33(50%) of the patients, were aged between 21 and 29 years, and over sixty percent, 42(63.6%) of participants were females. Of all the participants, 66(100%) had a cough and chest pain, 57(86.4%) had crackles, and about ten percent, 6(9.1%) had difficulty breathing at the time of admission into the study. About 29(43.9%) of patients had a fever at baseline, and 14(21.2%) had a respiratory rate between 16 and 29 breaths per minute at baseline. A combination of azithromycin and amoxycillin/clavulanic acid was associated with statistically significant faster resolution of chest pains and cough (mean 1.7 and 3.14 days, respectively) compared to levofloxacin group (mean 2.21 and 3.71 days, respectively) in patients who had community-acquired pneumonia (p=0.009. There was no difference in fever resolution, time to crackles subsidence, resolution of difficulty in breathing, and change in white blood cell count in participants in the two treatment groups.
Conclusions: Azithromycin combined with amoxycillin/clavulanic acid reduced chest pain in 1.70 days (SD=0.618) compared to levofloxacin alone (2.21 days, SD=1.204) (p=0.009). Azithromycin combined with amoxycillin/clavulanic acid reduced cough in 3.14 days (SD=0.789) versus levofloxacin alone (3.70 days, SD=0.588) (p=0.014). Hence, the azithromycin plus amoxycillin/clavulanic acid combination was found to be superior for managing CAP.

Published: March 2024

Background: Epilepsies are the most common neurological disorder in children worldwide. They result in disability or even death. Adherence to anti-seizure drugs (ASDs) is challenging for children with epilepsies.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 67 children with epilepsies age between (2-16 years of age) on follow up visits at neurology refer clinic at Wad Medani Pediatric Teaching Hospital; Central Sudan from February to July. 2022. Adherence to ASDs was measured using Morisky’s Medication Adherence Scale eight – items (MMAS-8) translated to the local language. Descriptive analysis was conducted to calculate frequencies and percentages for categorical data, chi-square test for associated factors with adherence. A P-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. 
Results: Gender analysis showed that 36 (53.7%) of patients were males. Forty-eight (71.6%) had good adherence to their medications. Thirty-three (49.3%) had 1-12 seizures/year. Thirty-nine (58.2%) of participants had generalized seizures while 22 (32.8%) had focal seizures. Sixty-six (95.5%) of study patients on poly therapy had good adherences. Adherence was not found to be associated with sex, age, parental education, employment status, ASDs, duration of epilepsy, type of epilepsy, seizures frequency or monotherapy versus poly therapy (p value > 0.05).
Objects as Expression of Power, Religion and Therapy: The “Country” Pots in the Bamenda Grassfields Fondoms of Cameroon
Authors: Moffor Exodus Tikere
Published: March 2024

In most parts of the world especially in Africa, people can be identified and distinguished through objects. These objects which some are worn on the body or carried along are decorated with symbols which could be decoded by those who comprehend their cultural connotations. The object this article focuses on is the indigenous or ‘country’ pots of the Bamenda Grassfields, pots which were used in the past by women in the kitchen, by traditional medical doctors and by traditional leaders; notables and heads of secret societies. Today, these country pots are not very visible in the kitchen as it was the case before because of the introduction of other containers. The questions raised by this paper are: What is the place of the country pot in the lives of the Bamenda Grassfields people? What is the symbolism of the motifs represented on the Bamenda Grassfields country pots? What are the change currently taking place in the production and use of these pots? The objectives of the article are to examine the roles and find out the meanings of the motifs represented on pots. It also explores the changes which are taking place in the production, commercialisation and use of the country pots. Data for this article was collected using the qualitative method and this data was analysed using content analysis and interpreted soon after collection was over. The interpretation was done with the theories of cultural ecology of Steward, functionalism of Radcliff-Brown and Malinowski, symbolic anthropology of Geertz and cultural evolution of Tylor and Morgan. Findings reveal that the country pots are an aspect of material culture of the Bamenda Grassfields. They are of very great cultural value and play a fundamental role in these cultures; they are an expression of power, religion, healing as well as communion. The country pots like any other cultural element, if they are valorised, they will continue to identify the people from generation to generation.

Authors: UDOINYANG NATHAN , DANIEL REUBEN
Published: March 2024

Medium and small businesses in Rivers State, Nigeria, had their power consumption and productivity analysed in this research. Power supply indicators are used as explanatory factors in the models, whereas performance indices are used as dependent variables. Three research questions and hypotheses were developed by the researcher to get the necessary information from the respondents. The study was then carried out based on these. For this study, researchers opted for a survey approach. The majority of the data came from surveys that were both well-structured and selected using Cochrane sampling methods. The data was analysed using the discrete response approach and the logistic model. Results showed that SMEs' storage of goods, productivity, and revenue were all negatively impacted by the short duration of the public power supply. Therefore, in order to boost productivity, profitability, and job creation in the state of Rivers, the research suggests that more electric power should be directed to the industrial region of Port Harcourt, particularly during the day.
Teaching Physics in the Kitchen: Bridging Science Education and Everyday Life
Authors: Kotsis Konstantinos T.
Published: March 2024

Physics is a fundamental branch of science that studies the fundamental principles governing the behaviour of matter and energy. Traditionally, physics has been taught in classrooms using theoretical concepts and mathematical equations. However, connecting these abstract concepts to everyday life experiences can significantly enhance students' understanding and interest in the subject. This paper explores the educational potential of teaching physics in the kitchen, where various phenomena and processes can be observed and analysed. By leveraging common kitchen appliances, cooking techniques, and ingredients, students can explore concepts such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and more. This paper discusses the benefits of teaching physics in the kitchen, provides examples of practical experiments and demonstrations, and highlights the impact of this approach on student engagement and learning outcomes.

Authors: MORAL REYNALDO , Villarente MARICEL D.
Published: March 2024

Comprehension is the basic condition for meaningful reading. The current quantitative study conducted in the English language context explored the effect of teaching reading strategies on the reading comprehension of junior high school students with a sample size of 30 in an inclusive classroom setting. The findings revealed that majority of the students were at the ages 14 to 17 years old, females, parents’ income ranging from ₱9,520 - ₱19,040 with an educational background at the high school level. The Effective Instructional Methods were more highly utilized than the cooperative learning strategies. Both reading comprehension levels during the pre-test and post-test belonged to the proficient level. There is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (t = 7.417; p>0.05) of the reading comprehension performance of the respondents. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship (r = 0.158; p>0.05) between the post-intervention and the extent of varying teaching strategies. Findings indicate that teaching reading strategies have a positive impact on the reading comprehension of students at the junior high secondary level. The study has important implications for teachers, students, curriculum planners, policymakers in the field of education, and school heads.

Authors: Snigdha Shayla Sharmin , Debnath Anamika
Published: March 2024

Playing video games has become an integral part of children’s lives now a days. The purpose of this study is to understand and measure the influence of playing video games on children’s English language learning. This exploratory study has been conducted in three steps. In the first step, a quantitative approach has been used, where data have been collected from 180 children by using a survey questionnaire. In the second step, a set of qualitative data have been collected by structured interview from 10 guardians whose children play video games on a regular basis. In the study’s third step, a two-sample t-test has been conducted to compare the English language skills of two groups of children, who played video games, and who did not. This comparison was based on the results of the children’s sudden proficiency test in English. After analyzing all the data, it is found that playing video games increases children’s basic language skills as well as grammar, spelling and vocabulary knowledge. Playing games reduce linguistic fear and enhance confidence. It is found from the statistical analysis (t-test) that the average score of proficiency test for one group, who play video games in regular basis, is higher than the average score of proficiency test of the other group, who do not play video games. So, this result demonstrates that the children who play video games are having better knowledge in English than other children. It implies that video games have a positive effect on children’s English language learning.

Complex retrograde transarterial access and embolization of a giant internal iliac artery aneurysm after occlusion failure of Micro vascular plug (MVP) embolization and preceding EVAR in the distal ectatic Aorta and bilateral iliac artery aneurysms

Published: March 2024

The therapy of pelvic aneurysms is minimally invasive through interventional radiology using various devices and embolic agents: 

1. By using a covered stent/prosthesis to maintain antegrade ﬂow when a landing zone, i.e., a

vascular segment angiographically present into which the stent can be placed to bridge the neck of the aneurysm, thereby interrupting aneurysm perfusion. 

2. Through complete embolization of the aneurysm using embolic agents/coils. 

3. As performed in our case, by covering the aneurysm (Img 14 A-C) with a covered stent /prosthesis, following prior embolization of the branching vessels using macroembolic agents. In cases where there is insuﬃcient occlusion of the aneurysm with residual perfusion, secondary em- bolization becomes considerably more complex due to the occlusion of the anatomically antegrade access and the altered hemodynamics around the aneurysm causing retrograde collateralization. Through detailed analysis of CT angiography, even in static CT, retrograde circulation could be iden- tiﬁed, allowing for a minimally invasive secondary approach to the aneurysm without the need for general anesthesia and/or surgery. By completely eliminating the aneurysm, the risk of rupture in the elderly patient was minimally invasively eliminated. The treatment of this patient exempliﬁes the possibilities that embolization with a wide array of embolic agents and catheters oﬀers in a hemo- dynamically very complex situation.
Multiple Myeloma

Published: March 2024

The second most common hematologic malignancy is the clonal proliferation of neoplastic plasma cells within the bone marrow. There is the presence of monoclonal immunoglobulins in the serum and/or urine. This results in anemia, myelosuppression, bone destruction, and clinical consequences of para-proteinemia on kidney function and other organ systems. The disease manifests through the acronym CRAB (hypercalcemia, renal impairment, anemia, and bone lesions). Less frequent manifestations of multiple myeloma are of extramedullary localizations. Myeloma cells can become independent of the bone marrow microenvironment, circulate freely in the blood, and infiltrate organs. This results in a high-risk state characterized by increased proliferation, evasion of apoptosis, and treatment resistance. It can affect any area of tissue. Most commonly it involves the pleura, lymph nodes, chest wall, liver, skin/soft tissue, lungs, CNS, genitourinary system, breast and pancreas. In patients with confirmed multiple myeloma, the diagnosis of extramedullary involvement is typically established by the presence of pathological soft tissue masses using radiological methods such as computed tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound, along with biopsy or physical examination. The molecular mechanisms underlying the development of extramedullary multiple myeloma (EMM) have not been fully defined. Various cytogenetic abnormalities are observed, and some studies have generated genomic sequencing profiles that distinguish EMM from classic multiple myeloma. While plasma cell leukemia (PCL) and central nervous system (CNS) EMM indicate a poor prognosis, outcomes for other manifestations can be highly heterogeneous. Sensitive imaging modalities including PET/CT and MRI (Fig.1) are integral components of diagnosis and response assessment. Patients with extramedullary multiple myeloma (EMM) have a clear survival disadvantage.

As Good as It Gets

Published: March 2024

Contrasting the constitutional limitations on the freedom to establish political parties in Italy and Germany brings out two quite different conceptions of militant democracy: one is particularistic, retrospective, and provisional – preoccupied with the transition to democracy; the other is universalistic, prospective, and enduring – concerned with the degeneration of democracy. The Portuguese Constitution, true to its eclectic character and multiple influences, steers a seemingly middle course between these polar options.
Examining ideological premises in Frege’s semantics
Authors: Ribeiro Vollet Lucas
Published: March 2024

The present article starts from the assumption that the dominant faction of the authors of the first phase of analytic philosophy – influenced mainly by the work of Gottlob Frege – had a more or less delimited idea of what logic should be, and that this idea founded their own ideology, understood as a standardizing set of ideas about meaning and its scientific parameters. We argue that devising principles for truth-value assignment based on semantic parameters (for effectively selection of well-formed-formulas) has led to an ideological view that is in harmony with both empiricist-positivist dogma, as well as popular sociological perspectives about the conditions for mutual communication and understanding. These conditions are intended to parallel the standards for evidence and inference available in the natural sciences and the criteria for sociological standardization of shared assumptions for effective communicative exchange. In a short appendix we conclude the article by unfolding some perspectives for an alternative view of the concept of meaning, possible thanks to the flexibility of logical parameters (through non-classical logic and semantics) and the critique of the dogmas of the first phase of analytic philosophy (Quine).

Teknologi digital merupakan suatu alat yang tidak menggunakan tenaga manusia secara manual dalam pengelolaannya, tetapi lebih pada sistem pengoperasian otomatis . Sistem pengoperasian yang dilakukan komputerisasi atau format yang dapat dibaca oleh komputer. Teknologi digital pada dasarnya hanyalah sistem penghitung sangat cepat yang memproses semua bentuk-bentuk informasi sebagai nilai-nilai numerik (kode digital). Melalui artikel yang berjudul “ Virtual Dalam Kegiatan Berkesenian ” mengenai virtual itu sendiri yang dalam hal ini virtual atau teknologi digital ini menjadi trending dalam masa pandemi covid-19 ini, dikarenakan pada masa pandemi ini segala kegiatanpun dibatasi mulai dari pembelajaran, lomba, dan semua jenis kegiatan yang dilaksanakan diluar rumah. Pertunjukan didunia seni sekarang ini telah dihadapkan dengan sebuah tantangan yang sangat sulit bagi para seniman khususnya seniman tari. Tidak banyak orang memiliki kemampuan secara modern untuk mengolah sebuah pertunjukan ke dalam media lain. Dalam masa pandemi sekarang ini jalan keluar terbaik untuk tetap berlangsungnya sebuah pertujukan adalah dengan menampilkan pertunjukan berbasis virtual. Pertunjukan yang awalnya dikonsep untuk ditampilkan dipanggung kemudian dipindahkan kemedia rekam berupa pertunjukan virtual. Dengan begitu kegiatan kesenian yang telah dibatasi tetapi tidak menurunkan minat dalam bidang kesenian, seperti banyaknya kegiatan lomba kesenian yang dirancang secara virtual.
