Published: September 2022

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint disorders with pain, function loss, and disability among the older population. Osteoarthritis (OA) affects millions of people all over the world and accounts for a vast burden of pain, debility, functional limitations, loss of man hour and productivity, disability, and loss of quality life expectancy. Total joint replacement is the most effective and a successful treatment for the elderly patients suffering from end stages of osteoarthritis. Objectives: To study of the awareness and acceptance of total joint replacement surgery among patients suffering from severe osteoarthritis of the hip and knee joints. Methods: A prospective study was contacted at the Department of Ortho Surgery, National Institute of traumatology and orthopedic rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, Bangladesh from January to June 2021. Forty nine (49) patients included in our study. A well-structured questionnaire was administered to the patient requiring information about their biodata, educational level, the joint affected by osteoarthritis, the level of pain using numeric rating scale (NRS), their knowledge of total joint replacement, their willingness to accept total joint replacement, reasons for not accepting the surgery, X-ray findings and radiological classification of the osteoarthritis using Kellgren and Lawrence classification. Results: A total of 49 patients were recruited for the study. The age ranged 13-88years with mean age 48 years ± SD 18.2 years; male and female ratio of 1:1.7. Of the 49 patients recruited for the study 32(65.30%) were aware of the role of total joint replacement in the treatment of osteoarthritis and among these 32(65.3%) (figure1) and among these 29(59.18%) accepted the procedure while 20(40.81%) of them rejected it. Thirty one (34.69%) patients had no knowledge of joint replacement but when they were educated on its relevance in their management 10(32.3%) accepted but 21(67.7%) rejected the surgery.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors in interstitial Cajal cells of myenteric plexus of the muscularis propria are the commonest gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors, not exclusively, appearing in the stomach. This case report documents management of a giant gastric stromal tumor of a 75 year-old female patient presented with generalized, vague, constant abdominal pain and melena, both of a week’s duration. She had early satiety with dizziness, feeling weak, and fatigue. She had a good appetite and no weight loss, hematemesis, or vomiting. She was apyrexial, with normal vital signs. The abdomen was soft, with a palpable large mass in epigastrium and central abdomen; an abdominal CT showed a heterogeneous mass lesion of antrum of stomach. Subtotal gastrectomy with roux-en-y gastrojejunostomy was performed. Histopathology showed epithelioid high grade gastrointestinal stromal tumor. The cornerstone therapy is a full operative removal of the tumor, with adjuvant therapy with selective receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

An Assessment of Implementation Status of Janata Awash Program in Nepal (Case study Jnata awash program of Rupandehi from F/Y 2073/74 to F/Y 2075/76)
Authors: Parajuli Sandeep
Published: September 2022

This study's main goal is to evaluate the Janata Awash Program's implementation status in Rupandehi, Nepal, where the program is dispersed among 13 VDCs and 4 Municipalities (before readjustment of local level). Interviews and a questionnaire survey were undertaken with applicants for the program, local leaders, officers in charge of implementation, and the monitoring body in the study region with regard to selected, non-selected, completed, and unstarted construction. In the fiscal year 2073–1974 there were 2214 applicants, which appears to be a relatively high amount. Since there are so many of them and they live in diverse places, it would be foolish to assume that one strategy will work for all low-income groups' housing needs.

Published: September 2022

In Korhogo town, there is a proliferation of places selling grilled meats. Also, controlling contamination of meat by pathogenic germs and toxic compounds is a major challenge for actors in the sector. It is in this context that a study was conducted to assess the hygienic quality of mutton grills sold on the outskirts of the streets of Korhogo town. To do this, a survey was conducted among sellers to describe the preparation and storage methods of mutton grills. Then, at points of sale, observations were made on the environment, equipment, raw material, method and workforce in order to assess the hygiene of mutton grills preparation. After that, the microbiological quality of mutton grills was assessed by looking for TMAF, faecal coliforms, S. aureus and Salmonella spp. Finally, the benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) content in mutton grills was estimated through a cooking test. The survey revealed that the majority of mutton grills sellers (60%) cooked the meat over an ember fire and stored the unsold grills at room temperature in basins or baskets. In most of the sale places visited (83.33%), the sellers did not comply with the principle of separating “clean” and “dirty” areas. Microbiological analysis showed that unpackaged mutton grills had better microbiological quality compared to mutton grills packaged in recovery paper, which served as a cement bag. However, the mutton grills overall quality was unsatisfactory in most cases (66.67%). The main microorganisms incriminated in the unsatisfactory quality of mutton grills were S. aureus (53.67%) and faecal coliforms (51.67%). Furthermore, the cooking test indicated that mutton cooked over an ember fire had a BaP content above the recommended maximum limit (2 µg/kg). Considering the results above, the mutton grills sold on the outskirts of the streets of Korhogo town would present a risk of food toxi-infection and poisoning for consumers. These results must be taken into account in order to carry out preventive actions, such as

Authors: Masai Janepher , Boibanda Franklin
Published: September 2022

Background: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has triggered a global emergency in all social realms, including but not restricted to the economy, health, and education. The health sector requires all healthcare professionals to be well-equipped with the latest advances in knowledge and research through Continuing Professional Development (CPD). These educational endeavors have been severely affected and potentially compromised since they heavily rely on learning through face-to-face interactive activities. Although it is mandatory for nurses in Kenya to participate in continuing professional development programmes the evidence on the effect of their continuing professional development programmes remains unclear. Besides the CPD requirement in Kenya, there is no clear evidence that the nurses and midwives have an enabling environment to accomplish these requirements. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine utilization of Continuous Professional Development on nurses’ performance of in Narok County amid the Covid-19 pandemic in Kenya. Methodology: A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted in Narok County Health facilities. A mixed method approach, which provided for triangulation that sought convergence and corroboration of the results from questionnaire, was adopted. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 40 respondents for the study. Data was checked for completeness and consistency and then entered into SPSS version 26.0 for analysis. Descriptive statistics used included frequencies, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Findings: Results of the study established that majority (58.6%) of the nurses often participated in formal CPD activities like conferences workshops and seminars (M = 4.27, SD = 0.933). It was also established by the study that that continuing professional development had improved their skills and competencies (M =4.03, SD =1.097); had improved their techniques in nursing care (M = 4.02, SD = 0.891) and had ......
Effects of Ethanol Extract of Centella asiatica on Acidity (pH) Levels of Rats Model Aerobic Vaginitis
Authors: Adar Olivera Agnes , Purwasari Farah Milla Dwi
Published: September 2022

Aerobic vaginitis (AV) is an infection in the vagina with a high inflammatory response, decreased Lactobacillus sp., increased pathogenic bacteria, increased parabasal cells, and increased acidity levels (pH). Increased pH levels in AV conditions are associated with reduced Lactobacillus in the vagina due to the dominance of aerobic or anaerobic bacteria that cause AV, including Streptococcus agalactiae, which can cause an increased risk of infection. Antibiotics are the mainstay of AV treatment but are resistant to several antibiotics, causing the need for other alternatives, one of which is the use of medicinal plants. The medicinal plant in this study is Centella asiatica plant which has been proven to have an anti-bacterial property. This study aims to compare pH levels before and after administration of ethanol extract of Centella asiatica on the acidity (pH) levels of Rats in AV model. This research is an experimental study use post-test control group only, consists of six groups Rattus norvegicus female. The first group was the negative control group (K-) rats. The second group was positive control rats (K+). The next are four groups of rats of AV models given various doses of ethanol extract of Centella asiatica, and each group consists of four rats, namely P1 (100 mg/kg). P2 group (200 mg/kg), P3 (400 mg/kg), and P4 (800 mg/kg). Paired T-Test showed results P-value is 0.000 (<0.005), stating that there was a significant difference between pH levels both before and after administration of ethanol extracts of Centella asiatica plant in rats model AV.
Evaporating Into Thin Air: The Prosecution of Air Pollution Crimes During the Trump Administration
Authors: Ozymy Joshua , Ozymy Melissa
Published: September 2022

Antagonistic to environmental regulation, the Trump Administration sought to significantly roll back federal clean air law enforcement. Yet, we know very little about the impact of the Administration on air pollution criminal enforcement. Through content analysis of all EPA criminal investigations leading to prosecution, we analyze patterns in charging and sentencing and draw out the broader themes in air pollution prosecutions during this period. Our results show a sizable drop in prosecutions compared to the Obama Administration. Although prosecutors managed to pursue serious crimes involving significant harm and criminal conduct and secure over $2.9 billion in monetary penalties, roughly 160 years of probation, and 146 years of incarceration at sentencing, many of these penalties result from a few prosecutions. Our conclusions focus on forward-facing solutions for the Biden Administration to make good on campaign promises to reduce environmental injustice through enhanced environmental criminal enforcement, community policing and engagement, and recognition of environmental justice communities as crime victims.

INTRODUCTION
Pleural effusion is a pathology resulting from overproduction of pleural fluid and decreased absorption. Transudative pleural effusions are caused by general alterations in formation and absorption, as in the case of cirrhosis or heart failure. Exudative pleural effusions are usually caused by local alterations that affect physiology, such as pneumonia, neoplasms or pulmonary embolisms. The origin of the fluid in the present clinical case comes from the presence of an infectious process located in the sub-mandibular region, due to poor hygiene and oral care of the patient, which leads to bacterial pneumonia, which evolves into empyema.
CLINICAL CASE
The clinical case is presented of a 43 year old male patient, attended in a hospital in the Amazon, belonging to the province of Morona Santiago-Ecuador, with a personal history of chronic alcoholism; and the presentation of a picture of pain in the oral cavity of moderate intensity, associated with purulent secretion of moderate quantity, which evolves unfavourably with non-productive cough and pleuritic pain. Complementary studies were carried out which revealed the presence of pleural empyema and submandibular abscess.
EVOLUTION
The patient was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, vasoactive support management due to the presence of septic shock and management of his dental problems. In addition, radiographic and tomographic images were taken to confirm the patients critical clinical condition. Subsequently, the patient decided to request medical discharge to go to another private health unit of greater complexity.
CONCLUSIONS
Neck abscesses are the result of dental disorders which, if not treated immediately, are a strong predisposing factor for infections in other regions of the body through dissemination, such as the lung, mediastinum and pericardium. The different causes of empyema are of vital importance, because diagnosing the possible aetiologies of empyema can lead to a correct and more targeted management and treatment of the cause.

Coffee is a plantation commodity that is included in the strategic commodity category in Indonesia. Indonesia is the world's fourth largest coffee exporter with a market share of around 11% in the world. In this research, coffee marketing analysis was conducted in Dolok Sanggul, Humbang Hasundutan, North Sumatra. Precisely in the District of Dolok Sanggul is currently being promoted as one of the leading commodities that continue to be developed. There are two marketing channels for Arabica Coffee Beans in Lintong Nihuta District, namely: Channel 1 (one), namely; farmers sell coffee to village collectors, village collectors sell to sub-district traders, sub-district traders sell to district traders and finally district traders sell to district traders (exporters), Channel 2 (second), namely; coffee farmers sell coffee to sub-district traders, sub-district traders sell to district traders (exporters). With the marketing margin value of marketing channel I of Rp 23,000 and marketing margin of channel II of Rp 20,000. This shows that the second marketing channel is more efficient, because the marketing margin is smaller than other marketing channels and the number of marketing agencies involved is less. The value of farmer's share in marketing channel I is 42.2%, in marketing channel II 50%. So it can be concluded that marketing channel II is the marketing channel with the highest value. Each marketing agency plays at least 3 functions. Some marketing agencies carry out the entire marketing function. Marketing costs, marketing margins, share margins and price spreads in each marketing channel are different.
