Authors: Rashid Rafia
Published: August 2023

Background and objectives: Esophageal stricture in children is an intrinsic narrowing of the esophagus due to different etiologies, including congenital anomalies, corrosive substance or foreign body ingestion, and post-esophageal surgeries. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the results and procedures of endoscopic dilatation (ED) performed on children with esophageal strictures in a specialized center in Bangladesh. Methods: Between September 2018 and October 2022, 21 children aged 0.2 to 15 years at the time of the first procedure who underwent 48 ED sessions were included at Bangladesh Specialized Hospital (Dhaka, Bangladesh). We documented the basic characteristics of patients, indications for ED, therapeutic procedures, and outcomes. Outcome parameters were the frequency of dilatations, complications (if any), and clinical success rates. Clinical success was defined as no necessity of ED for a minimum of one year or increasing intervals among repeated dilatations. Results: Among the studied patients, the most common causes of stricture were congenital esophageal atresia and ingestion of corrosive substances. More than half of the studied patients required multiple ED sessions, with one patient requiring eight sessions who had congenital esophageal atresia with a postsurgical stricture. Dilatation was achieved mostly using Savary-Gilliard or controlled radial expansion balloons varying in sizes between 8.0 mm to 30 mm. More than 76% of the studied patients had clinical success, while the rest had clinical failures or unfinished treatment. Conclusion: ED attained good clinical success if performed by skilled gastroenterologists. However, repeated dilatation is frequent, especially in patients with a corrosive-caused stricture.

Published: August 2023

Background and objectives: There is inadequate data on the clinical outcomes of proton pump inhibitors in patients with post-endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) gastric ulcers (PESDGU). The clinical course of PESDGU is affected by various ESD methods, including the types of devices and endoscopists’ skills. No previous reports have compared the clinical outcomes of different proton pump inhibitors for PESDGU healing in patients who underwent the same ESD method using the same device by the same well-trained endoscopist. This study aims to compare the clinical outcome of esomeprazole vs. rabeprazole in PESDGU using the same ESD method and by the same endoscopist. Methods: Sixty patients with gastric tumors participated in this randomized clinical trial. Patients who underwent ESD using the Clutch Cutter (ESDCC) method by the same endoscopist were prospectively randomly assigned to esomeprazole 20 mg (EM) or rabeprazole 20 mg (RM) monotherapy groups. All patients received 20 mg omeprazole intravenously daily for the first 2 days post-ESDCC, followed by oral administration of EM or RM for 8 weeks. All patients remained hospitalized for 7 days postoperation to monitor any ESD-related complications. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed 8 weeks post-ESD to evaluate the healing status of each artificial ulcer. Results: Of the 60 patients in this study, 30 each were assigned to the EMand RM groups. Eight patients from both groups did not complete the regimen and were excluded. Exactly 52 patients completed the study, with 27 and 25 in the EM and RM groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in the demographic characteristics of the two groups. There were no post-ESD perforations in either group. Post-ESD bleeding occurred in one patient in the RM group 5 days post-ESD. Scarring rates at the endpoint 8 weeks after ESD in the EM and RM groups were 96% and 76%, respectively. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the scarring stage (S1 or S2) at 8 weeks post-ESD. Conclusion: EM and RM have equivalent therapeutic effects on PESDGUs.

Authors: Erazo Coello Olmes David , Gamboa Ugalde Alex Bayardo
Published: August 2023

Introducción: En materia penal la presunción de inocencia es un derecho fundamental para la protección de la libertad de las personas, sin embargo, este ha sido frecuentemente vulnerado; en consecuencia, muchas personas han sido privadas de su libertad sin que existan los elementos de convicción suficientes. Objetivo: Este artículo tiene por objetivo determinar a través del estudio de caso si los administradores de justicia aplicaron las normas constitucionales y convencionales al establecer la prisión preventiva para verificar si no hubo restricción de derechos. Métodos: La presente investigación tiene un enfoque cualitativo con un diseño no experimental, se realizó un estudio jurídico, doctrinario y jurisprudencial de las normas constitucionales, convencionales y de la prisión preventiva; además del análisis de un caso de estudio, contrastando con las opiniones de expertos en el área de Derecho Penal y Constitucional. Resultados: El caso de estudio analizado es controversial y se identifica que a pesar de que se llevó a cabo el debido proceso si existió restricción de derechos, señalando que no se cumplen los requisitos de idoneidad, necesidad y proporcionalidad para dictar la prisión preventiva, en el caso analizado y de forma general esta medida muchas veces se la aplica de forma arbitraría. Conclusiones: El derecho a la presunción de inocencia es fundamental para la protección de la libertad de las personas y para garantizar que solo los culpables sean sancionados. Sin embargo, en muchos países a nivel mundial, se ha abusado de la prisión preventiva como medida cautelar, lo que ha llevado a un incremento desmesurado del número de privados de libertad y ha afectado los derechos constitucionales de las personas, como el derecho a la libertad y a la presunción de inocencia.

Medicinal plants produce vital secondary metabolites in curing various diseases and pathological conditions. There are multiple tribes and communities where people are using plants from the medicinal aspect to cure different diseases. The aim of the present study was qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening, determination of total phenol and total flavonoid content, and free radical scavenging activity of different parts of ethnomedicinally used plants collected from the western region of Nepal. The phytochemical screening of most of the extract showed the presence of phenols, carbohydrates, flavonoids, and glycosides. The ethanolic flower extract of Callicarpa macrophylla showed a higher phenolic content with a value of 195 ± 7.33 µg GAE/mg. Ethyl acetate extract of Elephantopus scaber root revealed the highest amount of flavonoid content with the value of 1692.31 ± 34.79 µg QE/mg of extract, followed by ethanolic flower extract of Callicarpa macrophylla. Ethanolic flower extract of Callicarpa macrophylla showed potent DPPH free radical scavenging activity with a half inhibitory concentration of 7.28 µg/ml. In contrast, Elephantopus scaber ethyl acetate root extract revealed the maximum free extreme scavenging properties among all the ethyl acetate extracts. From the experiment, the free radical scavenging potential of ethanolic flower extract of the Callicarpa macrophylla was comparable with ascorbic acid. This comparable activity may be attributed to higher phenols and flavonoid content in ethanolic extract. The result signifies that the ethanolic extract of Callicarpa macrophylla acts as an antioxidant and may contain a potent bioactive compound which, with further investigation, may lead to a novel compound.

Las características del drenaje en canales resultan en una compleja interacción entre el fluido y las paredes y el lecho del canal, envolviendo parámetros como la fricción, gravedad y turbulencia. En el ámbito del dimensionamiento, el concepto del drenaje uniforme es central para la comprensión y solución de la mayoría de los problemas en el campo hidráulico de canales. En ese marco, el análisis y el dimensionamiento pueden realizarse por medio de la clásica ecuación de Manning. Por consiguiente, el proyecto contempla un determinado caudal del proyecto, generalmente máximo y de seguridad, utilizado en el dimensionamiento, además de varias consideraciones simplificadoras, como por ejemplo la consideración de que el flujo funcione en estado estacionario, una idealidad casi nunca comprobada en la práctica. Un canal que cuenta con extracciones de agua para riego es un buen ejemplo de esto, una vez que la dinámica de entradas y salidas de agua cambia con el tiempo, dependiendo de varios factores, como, por ejemplo, la demanda de agua para la irrigación. Los softwares de simulación computacional son herramientas importantes, ya que permiten el análisis y construcción de distintos escenarios para las diferentes situaciones referentes al desagüe en la estructura hidráulica, como es el caso del aumento o disminución del caudal en una serie temporal y su impacto en los parámetros hidráulicos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue dimensionar un canal artificial hipotético de sección rectangular, con revestimiento de gaviones, con propósito de uso en actividades agrícolas, utilizando la ecuación de Manning adaptada mediante el método de parámetros adimensionales. Además, se buscó evaluar a través de simulación computacional los impactos de la variación del caudal en los parámetros hidrodinámicos.

Published: August 2023

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of job demands and job resources on work engagement and burnout among employees at PT. Maruki Internasional Indonesia.
 
Method: The cross-sectional study with the sample size of 132 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data collection instruments included job demands and job resources questionnaires from People at Work, the Oldenburg-Burnout Inventory questionnaire to assess work burnout on employees, and the Work Engagement Scale to analyzed the level of respondents’ engagement. Path analysis was utilized for data analysis.
 
Results: The results of the multivariate analysis indicate a direct influence of job demands (p-value: 0.002) and job resources (p-value: 0.000) on work engagement. Job demands directly impact burnout (p-value: 0.000), as do job resources (p-value: 0.001) and work engagement (p-value: 0.015). Moreover, job resources indirectly influence burnout through work engagement, while job demands indirectly affect burnout through work engagement (p-value: 0.034). Work engagement can serve as an intervening factor in mitigating burnout caused by job resources (p-value: 0.035).
 
Conclusion: In conclusion, both job demands and job resources significantly influence work engagement and burnout among employees. Additionally, work engagement plays a crucial role in mediating the effects of job demands and job resources on burnout.
 
Implications of the research: The study has several practical implications for managing employee workloads to increase engagement and decrease burnout. The study shows that employee with high job demands, such as extra work pressure and ambiguity in workplace will create a lower work engagement and also higher burnout. Better job resource, such as support from the supervisor and also rewards will create a better engagement for the employees.
Originality/value: There are very few studies conducted to evaluate the work engagement and how it leads to burnout in the manufacture industry in Indonesia. Hence, this study is first of its kind to analyse the influence of the crucial role of work engagement in decreasing burnout and what affects work engagement itself.

Refletir sobre a Renovação Paroquial é simples. Difícil mesmo é colocar em prática tal proposta. Sabemos os caminhos, os procedimentos, mas nos falta ainda o ardor missionário para agir dentro desse processo, pois ele exige a renovação de nossas estruturas paroquiais e a conversão para a missão, e muitos ainda não estão preparados ou dispostos a isso. A conversão pastoral da paróquia consiste em ampliar a formação de pequenas comunidades de discípulos convertidos pela palavra de Deus e conscientes da urgência de viver em estado permanente de missão. Sabemos que não se faz renovação estrutural das paróquias sem a conversão dos seus agentes. Assim sendo, esta reflexão busca apontar os apelos da Igreja, através dos seus principais documentos dos últimos anos, e questionar nossa postura diante desses apelos, apontando as questões e os desafios centrais para organizar uma paróquia que seja, verdadeiramente, comunidade de comunidades.

To improve the quality of poor ejaculates, sephadex (FS) and sephadex with ion-exchangers (FS+IE) filtration were used to examine split samples of 18 ejaculates of 6 Karan Fries bulls at various stages of cryopreservation. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance. All semen quality traits improved in both the filtration and further superiority of FS+IE column was observed due to its better efficacy of trapping immotile, dead and abnormal spermatozoa as well as there was decrease in sperm concentration, tail and total abnormalities. The initial, prefreeze and post-thaw motility, viability, sperm cells with intact plasma membranes and sperms with normal acrosomes of FS+IE filtrates were significantly better than the nonfiltered and FS filtered semen samples during different stages of cryopreservation. Therefore, it can be concluded that better quality semen can be harvested from poor ejaculates through FS+IE and FS filtration to improve fertilization potential of the spermatozoa.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are one of the important pattern recognizing receptors which are responsible for the induction of innate as well as adaptive immune response against a wide range of microbial components. Among different TLRs, TLR2 and TLR4 are expressed on the cell surface identifying Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial components. The present study was undertaken to analyze the expression of TLR2 and TLR4 genes in different buffalo tissues by using highly sensitive real-time PCR technique. Although the expression of both the genes was observed in all the 8 different tissues taken for the present study, the maximum expression of TLR2 was seen in blood followed by skin, lungs and spleen and the lowest expression was found in the uterus. TLR4 showed maximum expression in blood followed by skin, lungs, mammary gland of non-lactating, lactating buffalo and heifer and the lowest expression was seen again in the uterus.The findings suggest both the genes having important functions in blood and skin, the first line of protection for pathogenic challenge apart from other organs in buffalo.

An attempt was made to study the effect of different shade materials on body surface temperature, rectal and respiration rate in Vrindavani calves during the rainy season. Crossbred calves (18) were divided into 3 group, viz. thatch shading roof with plastic covering (T1), agro-net shading roof- 60% light diffusion (T2), and asbestos with canvas shading roof (T3). The recording of macro and microclimate as well as the entire physiological parameters, viz. rectal temperature, respiration rate and body surface temperature were recorded at 9:00 and 2:00 PM for 2 consecutive days at every fortnight interval. The microclimate, viz. maximum and minimum, RH, THI and surface temperature of roof was lower in T2 group. The physiological parameters values were significantly lower in T2 group. It can be concluded that in rainy season agro-net helped to protect calves from the hot and humid condition.

Published: August 2023

The first lactation records of 123 cows that were daughters of eight bulls were used to evaluate the breeding value of Ongole bulls and to rank them based on single trait analysis. The overall least-squares mean of first lactation milk yield was 622.97±43.82 kg. Nongenetic factors such as year of birth, age at first calving and farm/ herd were found to have significant on first lactation milk yield. Out of eight bulls, five bulls exceeded the herd average and the topmost ranking bull (Bull No. L- 309) had 3.04 % genetic superiority over the population mean followed by Bull No. L- 313 and Bull No.L-306. The frozen semen doses of top ranked bulls are to be used on elite cows to produce future bull calves for inducting into new set (s).

Acute mastitis was induced by inoculation of Staphylococcus aureus in 6 buffaloes. Ceftizoxime was administrated intravenously @25 mg/kg to evaluate pharmacokinetics of ceftizoxime in mastitic buffaloes. The maximum mean plasma concentration of ceftizoxime was recorded at 0.08 h in healthy buffaloes which was followed by decreased plasma concentration of 23.53 ± 0.84 µg/ml at 1 h and persisted up to 24 h. Mean values of t½ß were 5.86 ± 0.18 and 8.42 ± 0.58 h in healthy and induced mastitic buffaloes, respectively. Mean Vdarea value of 1.10 ± 0.06 L/kg in healthy buffaloes was increased significantly. The maximum mean milk concentration of ceftizoxime at 2 h (73.34 ± 4.35 µg/ml) in lactating buffaloes decreased gradually till 12 h (31.31 ± 5.66 µg/ml) and persisted up to 96 h (1.57 ± 0.20 µg/ml). So, ceftizoxime can be used for treatment of staphylococcal mastitis in buffaloes.

Authors: YILDIZ ATILLA
Published: August 2023

The current study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of Allium sativum (garlic) extract infusion on recovery and conception rate in cows with subclinical endometritis. Cows (42) with subclinical endometritis were randomly divided into 2 equal groups. In treatment group (group T), cows received a single intrauterine administration of 10 ml garlic extract mixed with 40 ml saline. In the cows of control group (group C), no intrauterine treatment was administered. Samples were collected again from the all animals of both groups on day 14 after therapy and the same laboratory tests were repeated. The cows were artificially inseminated at the following estrus. 10 (23.8 %) out of 42 cows had subclinical endometritis without bacteria in the uterus; however majority of cows with subclinical endometritis were positive for bacterial infection (76.2%). Bacterial load in group T was significantly lower as compared to both pre-treatment and group C. The cure rate for group T and C was 100.0 and 19.0%, respectively. The conception rates in groups T and C were 52.4 and 14.3%, respectively. Our results indicated that the intrauterine use of garlic extract can decrease endometrial inflammation and bacterial load, and consequently an increase in the conception rate.
