Authors: Waheed Abdul , Raza Shahneela , Saleh Muhammad , Zia Hamza Ashraf , Jan Babar , Umair Hafiz Muhammad
Published: March 2023

Background/Objective: Orthopedic patients have a particularly high risk for post-spinal shivering, a typical consequence of spinal anesthesia. Without treatment, shaking may worsen wound pain, increase oxygen use, and impair healing. There have been a number of studies looking at the efficacy of ketamine and other medications for reducing post-spinal shivering. Despite this, there is a dearth of data on more effective and widely available preventive medicines. As a result, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of 0.25 mg/kg of Ketamine (K) against 0.5 mg/kg of Tramadol (T) in preventing shivering after spinal anesthesia. Methodology: 200 patients who were to have orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia were randomly chosen to participate in this prospective cohort study. Patients who were given a prophylactic dosage of intravenous ketamine prior to spinal anesthesia are referred to as the Ketamine group(n=100), whereas those who were given Tramadol are referred to as the Tramadol group (N=100). During the intraoperative phase, vital signs such as shivering intensity and frequency, blood pressure, heart rate, and axillary body temperature were monitored hourly at 10-minute intervals for a whole hour. Results: There were 87 patients (43%) who had post-spinal shivering; this number was 32 (32%) for those given ketamine and 55(55%) for those given tramadol (p=0.001). With a p-value of 0.000, the incidence of nausea and vomiting was statistically significantly higher in the tramadol group of 82(82%). The ketamine group had significantly more intraoperative sedation than the tramadol group (p 0.007). Conclusion: After spinal anesthesia, low-dose ketamine is more active in lowering the frequency and intensity of shivering. Therefore, we advise patients having orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia to take low-dose ketamine beforehand as a preventative measure against post-spinal shivering.

Published: March 2023

Background: According to the WHO, diarrhea is a result of inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene and is the second leading cause of death in pediatrics. Objectives: Therefore, the study was intended to discover enteropathogens linked with diarrhea in pediatrics less than 5 years, their prevalence, distribution patterns and risk factors. Methods: The study was conducted in selected hospitals of District Dera Ismail Khan from March 2021 to October 2022 and comprised 384 patients diagnosed with bacterial (through culture) and parasitic (through microscopic examination) agents. Their demographic characteristics and risk factors were recorded on the pre-designed questionnaire. Results: Out of 384, 123 patients (32.03%) were suffering from bacterial diarrhea (p<0.05) and 261 children (67.96%) were diagnosed with parasitic ailments. Among bacterial causes, Escherichia coli (49.78%) was predominant (p<0.05), followed by Salmonella (18.92%), Campylobacter (10.66%), Shigella (7.13%) and Vibrio (1.91%), while the major parasitic infestation (p<0.05) involved Giardia (21.12%), Ascaris (17.78%), hookworms (14.39%), Trichuris (12.98%) Entamoeba (12.84%) and Taenia (3.19%). Most infected children belonged to the rural population (59.11%) than the urban (40.88%). Practical implications: The current study will pave a path for the clinicians to differentially diagnose the bacterial and parasitic origin enteropathogens in pediatric patients. Conclusion: Most of the diarrheic patients were diagnosed with parasitic than bacterial etiological agents. The major risk factors of the infection were poor hygiene, sanitation, weak immunity and playing of children in the contaminated soil and ingesting contaminated food materials.

ECOLOGICAL EXPERTISE AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Authors: Cataraga O.S. , Trifăuţan V.N. , Petcovici P. P.
Published: March 2023

Ecological forensic expertise is becoming increasingly in demand by the legal process. Every day there are cases of environmental "disasters" all over the world, most of which are due to man-made factors. Often, human activities that have an impact on the environment are not intentional, but there are situations when this activity becomes criminal. In such cases, an important role in clarifying the circumstances of the case is played by ecological expertise - the only procedure capable of providing solutions for the court through scientific methods. The quality of justice is directly proportional to the reliability and availability of the evidence on which expert decisions are based. It is important to correctly assess the value of the forensic expert's conclusions with reference to ecological issues, based on the fact that they are founded on solid scientific support, so that the court can be sure of its decision. This is why ecological forensic expertise needs sound methodological and scientific assurance to meet the needs of forensic practice.

How can rape investigations be enhanced? Consideration of attrition in rape cases: Second follow-up study
Authors: Callon Zoe E. , Sweeting Fay , Firth Erin
Published: March 2023

Attrition of rape cases is highest during the police investigation. As annually increasing reports of rape contrast with low conviction rates, this research determines which features of an investigation impact the likelihood of attrition. Cox Proportional Hazards Analysis of 620 rape cases highlights where and when attrition is greatest, in order to improve each stage of the investigation. The analysis found initial attendance by uniformed officers and conducting an interview significantly decreased attrition likelihood. Alternatively, matching the gender of officer to victim significantly increased likelihood. Moreover, victim-perpetrator relationship significantly impacted case length.

Bernardo Houssay and endocrine research
Authors: Mejia Rivera Orlando
Published: March 2023

Background: Bernardo Houssay (1877-1971) was the first Latin American scientist to receive the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology in 1947. His academic training took place entirely in Argentina, where he founded and directed the Institute of Physiology of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Buenos Aires. He later created the Institute of Biology and Experimental Medicine. He taught hundreds of young people and carried out with his disciples multiple experimental investigations in the areas of endocrine physiology, neuroendocrinology, comparative endocrinology, biochemistry and pharmacology. The result was the publication of about two thousand scientific articles and several academic awards.
Methodology: The main endocrinological research undertaken by Dr. Houssay has been described in detail, interpreting the historical and epistemological framework that allowed him to develop a conceptual horizon and laboratory techniques that were able to compete with the most sophisticated research centers in Europe and the United States.
Results and conclusions: It has been hypothesized that the work of Claude Bernard, read in depth by Dr. Houssay, led him to conceive and structure his scientific method of experimentation, being a self-taught man, and without having been trained in any foreign laboratory of physiological research. However, the breadth and depth of his scientific work put him on a par with such distinguished figures as Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Walter Bradford Cannon, Lawrence J. Henderson and Charles Scott Sherrington, among others. In addition, it highlights and analyzes his pioneering vision in the integral conception of the pituitary gland and its regulatory relationships with the rest of the endocrine glands, with the body metabolism and the preservation of homeostasis.

Published: March 2023

The granting of scholarships to students is carried out by universities based on their achievements. In awarding scholarships, universities often have difficulty in determining prospective scholarship recipients, so it is found that the distribution of scholarships is not precisely due to a manual system for determining scholarships. Decision support system is an information system intended to assist the University in solving the problem of awarding Academic Achievement Scholarships. One method that can be used in a decision support system is Fuzzy Analitycal Hierarchy Process ( F-AHP) with the Chang model approach (1996). The criteria used are GPA, Achievement, Parents' Work, Parental Dependents and Semesters. From the results of experiments conducted the results of calculations from the application and manual checking from the ubhara get 100% presentation in determining the recipient of the scholarship. Resulting in the ranking of student grades, ten students with the highest grades in each faculty will receive an Academic Achievement Improvement scholarship.

Indonesia is a country with a majority Muslim population. In the daily life of the Indonesian population, it is inseparable from the influences of Islamic teachings. In life in this world there are many commands of Allah that must be carried out, including the order to pay zakat. One of them is when Eid al-Fitr is required to pay zakat fitrah for each of its citizens. In grouping the distribution of zakat fitrah using the Naïve Bayes classification method. Naïve Bayes classification itself is a classification method that can be applied in classification. The classification system used to classify categories of zakat fitrah recipients. From each test results using test data and training data randomly, and each test using training data which increased 37 pieces of data in each test. It can be concluded that the more training data the level of accuracy decreases. The determination of the amount of training data and test data is very influential on the final results of calculations using the Naïve Bayes method. Class determination also affects the final results of calculations using this Naïve Bayes method.

Authors: Santos Ednan Galvão
Published: March 2023

Hans Kelsen nasceu na cidade de Praga, em 1881, e é hoje cultuado em toda a parte como um dos mais influentes juristas de sempre. Apesar do impacto de sua obra, sua doutrina sobre a ciência do direito tem sido alvo de severas refutações. Muitos de seus intérpretes entendem que essas críticas são desprovidas de congruência. Sem embargo, há refutações que devem ser levadas a sérios, por derivarem de teses consistentes. O objeto do presente artigo concerne ao exame do plexo de críticas dirigidas ao pensamento de Hans Kelsen – especificamente à sua Teoria Pura do Direito –, temática que logra relevância por referir-se ao autor cujo positivismo estabeleceu um paradigma que deixou marcas ainda vivas no modo de compreender o direito. Este artigo está organizado em três partes: a primeira, de cariz introdutório, apresenta a teoria pura do direito como uma teoria tipicamente positivista; a segunda parte, dedicada ao desenvolvimento do tema central, aborda as principais objeções à teoria pura do direito; a terceira seção, de perfil conclusivo, reúne as considerações finais.

Radiation monitoring and measurement are important for radiation safety. Such monitoring and measurement must be carried out in order to investigate workplace conditions and individual exposures, to ensure that radiological conditions in the workplace are acceptable, safe, and satisfactory, and to keep records of radiation monitoring over a long period of time in accordance with regulations or as good practice. However, radiation monitoring instruments and system are expensive. A cost-effective radiation monitoring system using Geiger Muller (GM) radiation detector was developed. A high voltage generation circuit and data acquisition were implemented using LabVIEW software. The cost-effective radiation monitoring system is easy to use, and it can detect radiation, analyzed and record the data in a personal computer. This newly developed system is simple and can provide the radiation dose data for further analysis. An experiment was conducted to compare and calibrate the collected data at the Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL). The result shows that the new developed GM detector provides good correlation between counts per minute (cpm) and dosage units, which is good characteristic of a radiation counting system
Head slippage following displacement of a Mayfield head clamp leading to a unique complication of laryngeal edema in an intubated patient: case report
Authors: Fatima Tahreem
Published: March 2023

Introduction: The Mayfield head clamp (MHC) is a three-pin skull clamp that allows excellent cranial stabilization during head and neck surgery and is the most frequently used head clamp in neurosurgery. In many cases, surgery is performed with complete reliance on the safety of the MHC. However, potentially serious or life-threatening complications, such as scalp lacerations, depressed skull fractures, venous emboli, or extradural hematoma can rarely occur.
We describe a case in which the MHC displaced downwards due to sudden loss of grip during postoperative removal with a brief review of the literature.
Case report: The patient was a 60-year-old male who was scheduled to undergo tumor resection of a recurrent bilateral parasagittal parafalcine meningioma via a bicoronal approach. While removing the MHC, the lower screw stabilizing the arm of the MHC system displaced downwards (when force was applied from both directions) leading to an extension of flexed neck along with jerking of the cervical spine despite hand stabilization of the head in an intubated patient with slight upward displacement of a tightly fixed endotracheal tube.
Conclusion: We emphasize the importance of properly managing and maintaining instruments to prevent fatal injury.

The calculation of the Coulomb Potential corresponding to the product of two Exponential Type Functions, inherently has numerical challenges that must be resolved. In order to address these problems, in this paper it is presented a new partition of the Coulomb Potential. The proposed partition involves two terms. One of the terms is a one-dimensional integral, which allows geometrical and statistical interpretations. The other term is proportional to a Modified Bessel Function and it is obtained from a two-step procedure. As a first step, a Non-Rational Function is used for approximating one of the two integrals involved. Then, the remaining improper integral can be identified with an integral representation of an appropriate Modified Bessel Function. The existence of such a Non-Rational Approximant is proved and its numerical performance is shown through some examples.
