Authors: Barabanschikov V.A. , Selivanov V.V.
Published: July 2022

This article examines the changes in mental states and personality creativity when working with short-term virtual reality. This is part of comprehensive research on personality (and mental in general) changes in didactic and training VR programs. The first part of the work was aimed at examining the influence of modern didactic programs in virtual reality (VR) on mental states in adolescence. The materials of empirical research obtained on a sample of 1—2-year students of the Moscow State University of Psychology and Education and SmolSU are presented. In study 1 (N = 73) (with a highly immersive VR program) and 2 (N = 46) (using a didactic VR environment of low immersion), respondents aged 19 to 26 took part. We used the «Actual state» methodology by L.V. Kulikova, «Assessment of Mood», didactic VR programs are used as instructive independent variables. The results obtained indicate that the didactic VR environment of the highest level may has a significant effect on mental states, increasing indicators on the scales of activation, excitement, tone, euphoria, and reducing asthenia indicators. Conditions such as well-being, normal mood, calmness remain stable in immersive didactic VR. In the control sample, in a less immersive VR-environment, statistically significant changes in indicators — tone, excitement, well-being were not revealed. The second part of the research, which examines the effect of higher-level VR programs on creativity, was carried out using a similar mixed factorial design with one independent variable. Johnson’s questionnaire, Torrance and Rorschach tests were used to diagnose creativity. In the experimental group (with vive helmets), in the parameters of all three tests, significant differences were diagnosed according to the Wilcoxon criterion of no less than 95%. In the control group, where the subjects worked with the same program («Surfaces of the second order») on ordinary monitors, the significance of the changes was confirmed by the method of Johnson and Torrance by the Wilcoxon test, by the G test «in Torrance», the changes were not reliable, by «Rorschach», by the two criteria, the changes were not reliable. In general, the results showed that the higher immersiveness of even short didactic VR programs promotes greater changes in creativity. The effectiveness of VR programs in influencing mental states and creativity is determined by the successful modeling of 3D objects, high animation, interactivity, originally incorporated into the content of higher level VR. Changes in creativity in VR, along with changes in cognitive processes, personal parameters (motivation, abilities, focus, consciousness), mental states are considered as an indicator of the presence and specificity of VR ontology.
Technologies for stimulation of the reparative processes in children with knee osteochondritis dissecans: A review
Authors: Pligina Elena G. , Kerimova Leila G. , Burkin Igor A. , Kovalyunas Igor S.
Published: July 2022

Dissecting osteochondritis of the knee joint, Koenigs disease is a disease of the knee joint that result in articular surface and osteoarthritis congruence. The disease incidence reaches 15% in the pathological knee joint structure in children. The comparative effectiveness of various treatment methods for children with Koenigs disease, from conservative therapy to orthobiological technologies, is a topical subject of discussion among specialists.
The effectiveness of modern treatment methods for children with Koenigs disease has been evaluated and is the leading trend in the use of biotechnology for further experimental and clinical studies.
The literature search was conducted in the electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE, eLibrary, RSCI, and Cyberleninka, whereas 2300 references were analyzed, 283 articles were viewed, and 90 publications on orthopedics and biotechnology were selected for the review.
Indications for conservative treatment in children with Koenigs disease are currently limited to stages III of the process. Surgical methods occupy a dominant position when pain relief and pathological focus regeneration stimulation are necessary. However, the long-term results of therapy indicate the replacement of the necrosis zone with coarse fibrous connective tissue, which is significantly inferior to hyaline cartilage in terms of biomechanical characteristics, which determines a high risk of developing osteoarthritis. The actively developing direction of orthobiology allows the use of a patients tissues to activate the processes of reparative regeneration with the relief of clinical manifestations and favorable immediate results.
The focus of attention of researchers has shifted to the plane of orthobiological technologies following the established trends in regenerative medicine development, which provide a high proportion of favorable immediate interventional results. However, the limited number of publications and the lack of long-term results of therapy do not meet the criteria for demonstrative effectiveness of technologies.
Application of the PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire in assessing the quality of life of children with defecation disorders after surgical treatment of congenital malformations
Authors: Korolev Grigoriy A. , Pimenova Evgeniya S. , Morozov Dmitriy A.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: : Fecal incontinence significantly affects the quality of life of children with anorectal malformations, Hirschsprungs disease, and spinal pathologies.
AIM: This work uses the PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire to assess the quality of life of children with defecation disorders after surgical treatment of congenital malformations and evaluate its effectiveness.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Interviews were conducted with 20 families in which children aged from 17 months to 18 years were operated on for spinal hernia (50%), anorectal defects (35%), and Hirschsprung disease (15%). Parents and patients were interviewed according to four blocks of the questionnaire: The impact of pathology on the family, Assessment of the quality of medical care, Assessment of the quality of life of a child (for parents), Assessment of the quality of life of a child (for children). The maximum score for each questionnaire was 100 points. The reliability assessment was performed using the -survey of the Cronbach coefficient.
RESULTS: When evaluating the PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire, -Cronbachs coefficient for the Impact of pathology on the family block was 0.963, Assessment of the quality of medical care 0.924, Assessment of the quality of life of a child from 0.740 to 0.877. A reliability result of 0.7 is considered satisfactory. Thus, the PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire was considered reliable for this study. When analyzing the block, Influence of pathology on the family, data from 23.6 to 67.4 points were obtained. A relationship was noted between the growing up of the child and an increase in the level of quality of life (p 0.05). According to the block, Assessment of the quality of medical care, the dissatisfaction of most parents was established. The average score was 75 points. When analyzing the block, Assessment of the quality of life of children (questionnaire for parents), values were obtained from 66.4 to 74.2 points. With the increase in the age of the child, parents estimated his standard of living to be lower. An inverse correlation was found between the childs age and his standard of living from the parents point of view (p 0.05). When analyzing the block, Assessment of the quality of life of children (questionnaire for children), the opposite situation was observed: with age, children rated the standard of living higher. The result ranged from 59.5 to 90 points.
CONCLUSIONS: In children with anorectal defects, Hirschsprungs disease, and spinal pathologies, a significant decrease in the standard of living was revealed, including a significant negative impact of the disease on the standard of living of the entire childs family. Further research is needed to determine the leading causes that reduce the quality of life of children to develop an integrated approach to their rehabilitation and social adaptation.

Authors: Tulokhonova Julia S. , Obarchuk Oksana G. , Averina Irina A.
Published: July 2022

This clinical observation is an example to show the complexity of diagnosing and treating children with SARS-CoV-2-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome.
A 17-year-old patient who had a mild form of COVID-19 two weeks ago had a fever again and felt severe abdominal pain, and his general condition deteriorated rapidly. Moreover, on the fifth day from the onset of the disease, a child from the district hospital was admitted to the Ivano-Matreninsky Childrens Hospital in critical condition. Due to peritoneal symptoms, a diagnostic laparoscopy was performed to exclude acute surgical diseases which revealed mesadenitis and hydroperitoneum. Subsequently, the patient had a prolonged fever, severe multiple organ failure developed, including myocarditis with damage to the conduction system of the heart and a marked decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction, bilateral pneumonia, hydroperitoneum and hydrothorax, acute kidney injury, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, increased markers of inflammation. Non-invasive artificial lung ventilation was performed for 3 d. On day 10, an atrial temporary pacing system was installed, removed 11 d after heart rhythm normalization, and the pleural cavity was drained due to spontaneous pneumothorax. There was a gradual positive trend in respiratory status, the state of the cardiovascular system, normalization of laboratory parameters, and a decrease in inflammation markers. The patient was discharged from the hospital in a satisfactory condition on day 39.
This clinical case demonstrates a severe course of childhood inflammatory, multisystem syndrome with multiple organ failure. The peculiarities of the case include the severity of abdominal pain syndrome, requiring laparoscopy, impaired cardiac activity, and requiring a pacemaker for 11 days.

Authors: Kovtun Olga P. , Davydova Nadezhda S. , Mukhametshin Rustam F. , Kurganski Andrew A.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Early admission or birth in a high-level neonatal care facility is associated with lower morbidity in preterm infants. Assessment of transportability remains a problem of the pre-transport evaluation. The literature data lacks the possibility of subsequent evacuation of patients recognized as non-transportable at the first examination.
AIM: This study compares intensive care during the first and second examinations of patients recognized as non-transportable and evacuated after re-departure.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cohort study included data from patients recognized as non-transportable at the first examination and evacuated after the second examination (18 patients). Comparison of intensive care, assessments by scales, correction of intensive care by the transport team during the first and repeated examinations of the patient was performed. Descriptive statistics methods, Wilcoxons test, and McNemars test were applied.
RESULTS: Patients evacuated on the second attempt had a birth weight of less than 1500 grams. The median birth weight was 1125 [7403240] grams. The patients were reliably more often on traditional mechanical ventilation and less on high-frequency ventilation at the second examination. The infusion of adrenaline and prostaglandins was more often performed. The average number of corrective actions per patient at the first examination was 1.33 (SD 0.77), at the second examination 0.5 (SD 0.62), p = 0.003. During the first attempt at evacuation, patients significantly more often required the administration or correction of the catecholamine dose, tracheal reintubation, and blood transfusion.
CONCLUSION: The data obtained indicate the inadequacy of the therapy performed before the arrival of the transport team contributes to the decision on the patients non-transportability.
Objectification of the treatment choice in children with isolated abdominal trauma, ruptured spleen
Authors: Anastasov Andriy G. , Zubrilova Ekaterina G.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: The risk of vital homeostasis disorders and the likelihood of death in patients with spleen injury is determined by organ damage, acute intra-abdominal bleeding, and often hemorrhagic shock.
AIM: This study determines the validity of the clinical criteria for the syndrome of intra-abdominal bleeding, shock, and the argumentation of indications for surgical treatment in the first six hours from the moment of hospital admission in children with an isolated injury, rupture of the spleen.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 89 patients aged 6 to 12 years with spleen injuries treated at the Republican Childrens Clinical Hospital of the Donetsk Peoples Republic from 2014 to 2021. The first subgroup included 61 (68.5%) patients treated conservatively, and the second subgroup comprised 28 (31.5%) operated patients (splenectomy) who initially underwent conservative therapy. Blood pressure and heart rate were controlled, and hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte, and leukocyte counts were determined. Abdominal echography was performed every three hours.
RESULTS: In assessing the severity of the condition, there were changes in peripheral hemodynamic parameters, such as arterial hypotension and hemoperitoneum with hemorheological disorders (posthemorrhagic anemia of III degree, a tendency to thrombocytopenia). In the first six hours from hospital admission, the most objective clinical and laboratory indicators of bleeding and the choice of treatment method were the value of the hemoperitoneum, the level of arterial pressure system, hematocrit, and hemoglobin. No decrease in blood pressure in patients below 100.0 mm Hg, blood hemoglobin of 95.0 g/l with a hemoperitoneum volume of less than 275.0 ml dictated the expediency of continuing conservative therapeutic measures. In cases of deterioration in the condition of patients due to ongoing bleeding with the ineffectiveness of intensive therapy, surgical intervention (laparotomy, splenectomy) is recommended to stop the bleeding.
CONCLUSIONS: In the first hours after injury, the most accurate predictor of the choice of treatment method is the volume of the hemoperitoneum (according to echography), associated with the impaired hemodynamic status of the patient, namely arterial hypotension, which affects choosing a conservative or surgical treatment option.
Atypically extended post-traumatic stricture of the bulbous urethra in a teenager: a Case report
Authors: Ladygina Elizaveta A. , Nikolaev Vasily V. , Demin Nikita V.
Published: July 2022

Presentation of clinical observation of a patient with an atypically extended stricture of the bulbar urethra.
A 15-year-old boy came to the clinic with complaints of difficult and prolonged urination after an injury to the perineum and scrotum. The patient underwent a 3-fold surgical treatment for an extended stricture of the bulbous urethra. Complete recovery of the patient was achieved after repeated surgical interventions. At follow-up for 2.5 years, he urinates freely and painlessly. The average urination rate is 18 ml/s, urine tests are without deviations according to echography, and adequate emptying of the bladder is noted.
In children, a post-traumatic urethral stricture is a rare condition, and patient management has not been finalized. In most cases, the methods of operations adopted in adult patients are used. Reconstructive surgery in this patient was performed in the cold postoperative period. With extended strictures, preference should be given to open urethroplasty, namely, augmentation techniques using a free buccal mucosal graft.
The presented clinical case demonstrates the complexity of determining the therapeutic strategies and the surgical treatment in cases of an extended bulbous urethra stricture.

Algorithm for predicting sepsis in newborns with respiratory pathology and perinatal lesions of the central nervous system on mechanical ventilation
Authors: Pukhtinskaya Marina G. , Estrin Vladimir V.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Predicting sepsis in ventilated neonates remains a challenge in neonatology.
AIM: To increase the efficiency of predicting sepsis diagnosis in newborns by developing a decision rule for its development based on decision trees.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This clinical study retrospectively reviewed 200 full-term newborns with respiratory pathology that are admitted to the intensive care unit and are on mechanical ventilation without clinical signs of bacterial infection.
Upon admission to the department on days 1, 35, and 20, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay determined the plasma concentration of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, soluble Fas ligand, fibroblast growth factors, and nitric oxide (NO), and immunophenotyping method determined CD3+CD19, CD3CD19+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, CD69+, CD71+, CD95+, HLADR+, CD34+, CD14+, CD3CD56+; lymphocytes expressing AnnexinV-FITC+PI, and AnnexinV-FITC+PI+. The possibility of diagnosing sepsis upon intensive care unit admission was assessed by statistical cluster analysis of the total studied immunological criteria. The method of decision trees in the statistical environment R formed a diagnostic rule for predicting sepsis.
RESULTS: Visualization of the cluster analysis results of admitted patients did not exclude the presence of two clusters among them (with and without sepsis, which explain the 60.81% of the point variability).
Sepsis prediction rule are as follows: disease progression occurs if on day 1 CD95 is 16.8% and NO is 9.6 mkmol/l or CD95 is 16.8%, CD34 is 0.2%, CD69 is 4.12% or CD95 is 16.8%, CD34 is 0.2%, CD69 is 4.12%, and lymphocytes expressing AnnexinV-FITC+PI is 12.3%. The diagnostic accuracy was 96.00%; sensitivity was 97.00%; specificity was 94.90%; the false-positive proportion of diagnoses was 5.10%; the false-negative proportion of diagnoses was 2.94%; the positive result accuracy was 95.19%; and the negative result was 96.88%. The disease was complicated by bacterial sepsis development on 45 days of observation in 45 newborns.
CONCLUSIONS: Significant importance in sepsis development belongs to the prevalence of altered immunocompetent cells over proliferation and endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide. The cumulative determination of CD95+, CD69+, AnnexinV-FITC+PI, CD34+, and plasma nitric oxide concentration helped diagnose sepsis development at the preclinical stage. The obtained results indirectly confirm the relevance of studies on sepsis prevention and treatment by drug correction of apoptosis and inhaled NO.
Intravenous infusion of lidocaine as a component of multimodal analgesia in children under one year of age after cardiac surgery
Authors: Shcheglova Klara T. , Makogonchuk Nadezhda E. , Chuprov Maxim P. , Magilevets Anton I. , Bazylev Vladlen V.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: The use of lidocaine in the scheme of multimodal anesthesia in order to reduce doses of opioids in comparison with traditional anesthesia and the possibility of influencing various links in the pathogenesis of pain is a promising direction in modern cardioanesthesiology.
AIM: This study evaluates the effectiveness of intravenous infusion of lidocaine as a component of multimodal analgesia and its effect on the postoperative period in children under one year of age after surgical correction of congenital heart defects.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The prospective comparative study included 81 cardiac surgery patients aged 0 to 1 year. All patients underwent open cardiac surgery by a cardiopulmonary bypass from January 2019 to April 2021. The patients were divided into two groups: the first (n = 40) included patients receiving intravenous lidocaine as a component of multimodal analgesia in the postoperative period, and the second, control (n = 41) patients who were not prescribed lidocaine.
RESULTS: : In patients receiving lidocaine infusion, the need for opioids was significantly lower (p 0.001), which is also associated with a shorter mechanical ventilation time (p = 0.03). The cortisol levels and most laboratory parameters (the concentration of glucose, lactate, albumin, C-reactive protein, and the level of leukocytes and lymphocytes) in the two patient groups did not differ. Clinical indicators reflecting intestinal paresis development (the appearance of peristalsis, the onset of enteral nutrition, the rate of its increase, and the time when the patient receives the total amount of food only enterally) also did not differ between the groups. No side effects of lidocaine infusion were reported. There were no deceased patients in any of the study groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous infusion of lidocaine as a component of multimodal analgesia after heart surgery in children has an additional opioid-saving effect and shortens the mechanical ventilation time. It is not accompanied by the development of side effects and does not affect the restoration of gastrointestinal functions.
A rare variant of obstruction of the pyeloureteral segment of the lower half in a child with doubling of the upper urinary tract: Сase report
Authors: Sizonov Vladimir V. , Shidaev Askhab Kh.-A. , Kagantsov Ilya M. , Kondrateva Evgeniia A.
Published: July 2022

Presentation of a rare clinical case of hydronephrosis of the lower half of the kidney due to vasoureteral conflict against the background of the complete doubling of the upper urinary tract. The rarity of this anomaly is demonstrated by only a single mention of a similar case in an adult patient in the literature.
The patient, three years old, had dilatation of the upper urinary tract that was detected antenatally. According to the postnatal ultrasound results at three months, the anterior-posterior size of the pelvis of the lower half of the left kidney was 13 mm, and the parenchyma of the left kidney was 11 mm. The child was followed up on an outpatient basis. There were no laboratory or clinical manifestations of urinary tract infection. Ultrasound monitoring revealed progression of dilatation of the pelvis of the lower half max up to 40 mm and thinning of the kidney parenchyma in the projection of the lower pole up to 7 mm, in connection with which the child successfully underwent antevasal ureteropyeloanastomosis of the lower half of a completely doubled kidney. The anterior-posterior size of the pelvis of the lower half after removal of the pyelostomy was 16 mm. The child did not have any clinical and laboratory disease manifestations in the postoperative period.
The described clinical case expands our understanding of the anatomy of obstruction of the pyeloureteral segment and hydronephrosis of the lower half of the duplex kidney. It enables us to plan surgical tactics, considering the possible intraoperative detection of the described anatomical configuration.

Authors: Petlakh Vladimir I.
Published: July 2022

The article discusses the content of the first Russian manual on pediatric traumatology and the key points of the biography and work of its author, Nikolai G. Dame. The article introduction briefly outlines the creation history of the first Russian manual on traumatology for adult patients, which noted that pediatric traumatology developed within the framework of pediatric surgery. The first part of the work focused on its greatest interest to readers. It presents previously unpublished reviews of famous orthopedic traumatologists for the first (1950) and second (1960) editions, which perfectly reveal the books content. The second part of the article included the published autobiography written by N.G. Dame. Additionally, the work of N.G. Dame based on archival documents as a military field surgeon during the Great Patriotic War was presented in the same section. The final part included the role of N.G. Dame in creating an original school of pediatric trauma surgeons.
The merit of N. G. Dame is the creation of a manual that outlines the basics of diagnosing and treating injuries in children of all types and localizations. He believed that a traumatologist should have the necessary knowledge and skills in emergency general surgery, neurotraumatology, and other surgical specialties. Thus, he anticipated the creation of injury surgery, of which the basic provisions were transferred from the practice of military field surgery.

Authors: Satvaldieva Elmira A. , Fayziev Otabek Ya. , Ashurova Gulchehra Z. , Shakarova Mehri U. , Ismailova Mahfuza U.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Sepsis is one of the leading causes of hospital mortality in children. A decisive role in improving the results of treatment of this group of patients belongs to early diagnosis and pathogenetic therapy.
AIM: This study optimizes the diagnosis and intensive care of surgical sepsis in children based on clinical and laboratory criteria and bacteriological monitoring.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study period is 20182020. The study subjects were children (n = 73) with surgical pathology (diffuse purulent peritonitis, bacterial destruction of the lungs, post-traumatic brain hematomas, injuries of the abdominal organs, and others). Clinical and laboratory parameters were analyzed, and microbiological monitoring was performed to determine antibiotic sensitivity.
RESULTS: Patients who developed sepsis had a pronounced hypermetabolic syndrome, which was manifested by tachycardia and tachypnea, hyperthermia, low levels of albumin, and total protein in the blood. Protein catabolism in patients was accompanied by a decrease in globulins (IgG) synthesis and the development of a secondary immunodeficiency state. Both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms were involved in developing surgical sepsis in children, increasing the proportion of the latter. Given the high proportion of multi-resistant flora, empirical combined de-escalation antibiotic therapy (ABT) with broad-spectrum antibiotics was prescribed. This was followed by its revision based on microbiological monitoring and clinical and laboratory data of the patient with sepsis. Studies have shown the effectiveness of complex intensive care in 86.3% of cases. Mortality occurred in 13.7% of cases. Patients with severe surgical pathology died: fecal, generalized peritonitis, severe traumatic brain injury + coma with irreversible neurological disorders, and urosepsis against the background of chronic renal failure after repeated surgical interventions.
CONCLUSIONS: Early diagnosis of sepsis, rational ABT under the control of microbiological monitoring, non-aggressive infusion therapy, and active sanitation of the surgical infection focus contributed to a decrease in mortality in this category of patients.

Karya pengabdian tersebut terdiri atas serangkaian tahap mulai dari observasi, pengolahan, uji coba varian rasa, evaluasi hingga tahap akhir yakni edukasi ke warga desa. Dampak yang diharapkan dari karya pengabdian tersebut adalah meningkatnya pemahaman warga desa terhadap ragam olahan kacang panjang terutama nugget kacang panjang dan manfaatnya. Abstract: As a village with many of its population works as a farmer, Gogodeso is rich in vegetables such as asparagus bean. However, due to the relatively low variety of asparagus bean's product, asparagus bean has relatively low selling value. Based on that data, we took initiative to carry out a social service program that aims to educate the villagers to produce a nugget variety from asparagus bean. In doing so, we use video as a medium of education. The program consists of several steps such as observation, experimentation, trials, evaluation and the final step of education to the villagers. We expect the program to raise villagers’ awareness of the varieties of product from asparagus beans especially asparagus bean nuggets.

Abstrak: Desa Ringinsari terletak di Kecamatan Sumbermanjing Wetan, Kabupaten Malang. Kecamatan Sumbermanjing Wetan karena terletak di wilayah pegunungan dan dataran laut maka memiliki potensi yang sangat berlimpah, baik itu komoditas pertaniatan maupun kelautan. Potensi Komoditas pertanian antara lain tebu, jagung, kelapa, ubi, kayu jati, kayu mahoni, kayu sengon, dan tanaman obat. Komoditas peternakan antara lain sapi, kambing, ayam, kerbau, entok, kuda. Sementara komoditas perikanan terdapat budidaya lele yang sedang di kembangkan oleh warga Desa Ringinsari. Permasalahan yang sering terjadi ialah terus meningkatnya harga pakan lele yang tidak sejalan dengan harga jualnya dan minimnya pengetahuan warga Desa Ringinsari akan pemanfaatan bahan lokal sebagai alternatif pangan. Tujuannya agar pembudidaya dapat mencapai perbandingan antara berat pakan ikan yang sudah diberikan dalam siklus periode tertentu, dengan berat total (biomass) yang dihasilkan / FCR (Food Convertion Ratio) dengan baik dan maksimal. Metode yang digunakan yaitu dengan memberikan sosialisasi dengan menghadirkan pembicara yang berasal dari dina perikanan dan melakukan diskusi pembuatan alternatif pakan serta pemanfaatan bahan lokal sebagai bahan baku yang akan digunakan nantinya. Berdasarkan hasil yang diperoleh, banyak pembudidaya mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan akan cara pembuatan alternatif pakan ikan lele. Abstract: Ringinsari Village is located in Sumbermanjing Wetan District, Malang Regency. Sumbermanjing Wetan District because it is located in a mountainous area and sea plains, it has very abundant potential, both agricultural and marine commodities. Potential agricultural commodities include sugar cane, corn, coconut, sweet potato, teak wood, mahogany wood, sengon wood, and medicinal plants. Livestock commodities include cows, goats, chickens, buffaloes, ducks, horses. While the fishery commodity is catfish cultivation which is being developed by the residents of  Ringinsari Village. The problem that often occurs is that the price of catfish feed continues to increase which is not in line with the selling price and the lack of knowledge of Ringinsari Village residents about the use of local ingredients as alternative food. The goal is that cultivators can achieve a good and maximum comparison between the weight of fish feed that has been given in a certain period cycle, and the total weight (biomass) produced / FCR (Food Conversion Ratio). The method used is to provide socialization by presenting speakers from the fisheries department and discussing the manufacture of alternative feeds and the use of local materials as raw materials that will be used later. Based on the results obtained, many farmers have increased knowledge of how to make alternative catfish feeds.

Abstrak: Industri tahu saat ini menjadi industri yang banyak sekali dijumpai pada rumah tangga di Indonesia. Tahu merupakan hasil fermentasi kedelai yang diambil sarinya. Banyak kandungan zat yang dibutuhkan oleh tubuh yang diperoleh dari. Selain dari tahu ternyata limpah padat atau ampas tahu juga memiliki kandungan protein yang tidak kalah dari tahu itu sendiri. Namun kenyataannya ampas tahu hanya digunakan untuk pakan ternak oleh sebagian pemilik industri tahu di Desa Gedogwetan ataupun Tempe Gembus dan juga hanya dibuang percuma yangmana nantinya akan menimbulkan masalah baru yakni pencemaran lingkungan. Sehingga kelompok mahasiswa UM MBKM Membangun Desa Gedogwetan memiliki inovasi untuk membuat ampas tahu menjadi produk yang memiliki nilai jual lebih yaitu Kerupuk Ampas Tahu. Metode yang digunakan dalam proses penyampaian inovasi dalam pengabdian ini adalah sosialisasi dan praktik secara langsung bersama dengan ibu PKK Desa Gedogwetan. Selain menambah penghasilan bagi pemilik industri tahu juga menjadi peluang terciptanya laparangan pekerjaan baru bagi masyarakat Desa Gedogwetan. Abstract: The tofu industry is currently an industry that is often found in households in Indonesia. Tofu is the product of fermented soybeans from which the juice is extracted. Many substances that are needed by the body are obtained from. Apart from tofu, it turns out that it is abundantly dense or tofu dregs also has a protein content that is not inferior to tofu itself. However, in reality, the tofu dregs are only used for animal feed by some owners of the tofu industry in Gedogwetan or Tempe Gembus Villages and are also only thrown away, which will later cause a new problem, namely environmental pollution. So that the UM MBKM student group Building Gedogwetan Village has an innovation to make tofu dregs into a product that has more selling value, namely Tofu Dregs Crackers. The method used in the process of delivering innovation in this service is direct socialization and practice with PKK women in Gedogwetan Village. In addition to increasing income for the owners of the tofu industry, it is also an opportunity to create new job opportunities for the people of Gedogwetan Village.

Published: July 2022

This work presents a study by numerical simulation of mixed convection in a rectangular cavity with a sinusoidal temperature imposed on the right vertical wall while the other wall on the left is kept at a cold temperature. The upper and lower walls are thermally insulated, the inlet and outlet ports are respectively located on the hot wall to the bottom and on the top to the left. The enclosure represents a practical system such as an air-cooled electronic device, the heat source represents a radiator or an electronic component located in three different positions towards the left side at the bottom, the center and towards the right side at the top in such an enclosure. All calculations are made for a range of Richardson number from 0 to 10 and Reynolds numbers from 50 to 200. The influence of Richardson number, the position of the heat source and the influence of amplitude and phase deviation of the temperature imposed on the Nusselt number on the hot surface is studied. The results are presented in the form of streamlines and isotherms graphs as well as the variation in maximum temperature and mean Nusselt number under different conditions. The numerical resolution of the governing equations is obtained using the software of Multiphysics Comsol based on the finite element method.

The placement of orthodontic appliances influences plaque growth and maturation. Significant differences in biofilm formation and periodontal reaction between different bracket types and between bonded teeth compared with control teeth have been reported, however, have reported significant attachment loss during orthodontic treatment.

In patients with a history of periodontitis resulting in displaced teeth, possible orthodontic tooth movements include changes in alignment, space redistribution, and intrusion.

To see the changes in clinical periodontal parameters after removal of fixed orthodontic appliances

After debonding of braket at dental clinic and before final polishing, probing depth (PD), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were assessed on the first molars and central incisors of both arches.

Probing depth decreased in the right maxillary first molar. Plaque index and gingival index also got deceased. Bleeding on Probing reduced significantly.

Buccal probing depth returned to < 3 mm in the first month and interproximal depth in the second month. The mean gingival index was 0.5 after 2 months. Bleeding on probing in half of the teeth was negative after the first month and in other half in the second month.

Published: July 2022

To determine whether the morphology of symphysis could be used as a predictor of the direction of mandibular growth in Indian population and to determine if any gender variability exists in the aforementioned study.

Randomly chosen and traced lateral cephalograms of 30 adult patients (18 years and older), 15 males and 15 females, reporting to the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Inderprastha Dental College and Hospital, Sahibabad, Ghaziabad (U.P). Seven cephalometric parameters and four symphyseal parameters (Height of Symphysis, Depth of Symphysis, andSymphysis Ratio, Symphysis Angle) were measured.

The data was subjected to pearson’s correlation test to find any correlation between symphysis morphology and cephalometric parameters in male, female and overall group.

Increase in depth and height of symphysis is associated with horizontal growth pattern in overall sample. Increase in height and symphyseal ratio is associated with horizontal growth pattern in males. In females symphyseal parameters fail to predict the direction of mandibular growth.
