O convertido “evangélico": figura da descrição da modernidade religiosa
Authors: Hervieu-Léger Danièlle , Alvarenga Leonardo Gonçalves
Published: April 2022

Este artigo faz parte da coletânea organizada pelo historiador francês Sebastien Fath, com o título Le protestantisme évangélique, un christianisme de conversion: Entre ruptures et filiations (O protestantismo evangélico, um cristianismo de conversão: entre rupturas e filiações), fruto de uma conferência internacional com uma abordagem coletiva, transversal e internacional  organizada de 14 a 16 de março de 2002 pelo Groupe de Sociologie des Religions et de la Laïcité, em parceria com o Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique e a seção de ciências religiosas da l'Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (Sorbonne) da França, Estados Unidos, Grã-Bretanha (Escócia e Inglaterra) e Brasil. Dos participantes brasileiros e conhecidos no país, temos Leonildo Silveira Campos (Mackenzie), Dario Paulo Barrera Rivera (Umesp) e Paul Freston (UFSCar / CIGI). O artigo de Danièle Hervieu-Léger traz um olhar de quem se consagrou nas pesquisas sobre o catolicismo, portanto, pouquíssimas análises sobre evangélicos. Nesta apresentação em forma de colóquio, como observarão, a socióloga é cuidadosa como alguém que entra em um universo pouco conhecido e opta por uma análise histórica, com recortes daquilo que inspirada em Ernest Troeltsch é chamado de Períodos Típicos da história do cristianismo para enfim tirar as conclusões devidas.

A obra reflete os princípios que norteiam o pensamento e a reflexão de Francisco, bem como a sua maneira de lidar com situações de crise, o que, na verdade, lhe acompanha desde os tempos de superior jesuíta, na Argentina.
Ethik im Drohnenzeitalter
Authors: Brücher Gertrud
Published: April 2022

David Gelernter, der in den achtziger Jahren die Grundlagen des World Wide Web geschaffen und damit das digitale Zeitalter eingeläutet hat, warnt seit vielen Jahren davor, politisch-gesellschaftliche Entscheidungen zunehmend auf Softwaremodelle und selbststeuernde Systeme zu übertragen. Im militärischen Bereich führt dies zur Roboterisierung des Krieges, in letzter Konsequenz zum Delegieren von Entscheidungen über Leben und Tod an die Software der unbemannten Kriegsmaschinen.

Dem Ruf nach einer Ethik für das Atomzeitalter folgt heute der Ruf nach einer Ethik für das Drohnenzeitalter. Denn die Einbindung neuer Waffensysteme in eine kybernetische Eskalationsautomatik droht den im Homozid gipfelnden atomaren Schlagabtausch den Händen verantwortlicher Entscheidungsträger zu entreißen. Damit würden Handlungsautonomie und Entscheidungsfreiheit preisgegeben, mithin die zentralen Bedingungen für eine Kontrolle über den Mitteleinsatz und damit jeder Rechtfertigung von Militäreinsätzen. Dies würde die Abdankung des autonomen selbstverantwortlichen Subjekts bedeuten – und eine moralphilosophische Bankrotterklärung.

Unter besonderer Bezugnahme auf Kants praktische Philosophie und Niklas Luhmanns Systemtheorie entwirft Gertrud Brücher eine Ethik des Drohnenzeitalters, die an Selbstzwecklichkeit und Würde des Menschen festhält, ohne technologisch-gesellschaftsstrukturelle Tatsachen der modernen Weltgesellschaft ignorieren zu müssen.
Antike Grundlagen der Entstehung moderner Menschenrechte
Authors: Bruns Oliver
Published: April 2022

Die modernen, Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts verkündeten Menschenrechte haben ein spezifisches Menschenbild zur Voraussetzung, das sich in einem Prozess der Subjektivierung, der in der griechischen Antike beginnt, herausgebildet hat. Die vorliegende Studie geht der These nach, dass die jeweiligen Fortschritte in der Menschenrechtsgeschichte – auf dem Gebiet des juridischen, des moralphilosophischen und des politischen Denkens – ohne eine Reflexion auf diesen Prozess nicht adäquat miteinander in Beziehung gesetzt und verstanden werden können.

Armadilhas na busca por causalidade entre governança e desempenho acadêmico nas universidades públicas brasileiras
Authors: Oliveira Kleber Fernandes , Ettinger Oliveira Salgado Thais , Aschar Juliana , Sarmento Silva Rosângela
Published: April 2022

Neste artigo, são apresentados resultados de pesquisa que teve como objetivo analisar as relações entre a governança pública das universidades federais e os seus respectivos desempenhos acadêmicos. A hipótese subjacente é que boas práticas de governança resultem em melhor desempenho institucional que, no caso das universidades públicas, diz respeito ao aumento da taxa de sucesso na graduação, ou seja, da proporção de alunos que concluem o curso dentro da duração padrão. Apesar de alguns estudos indicarem a existência de tal relação de causalidade, os resultados aqui apresentados os contradizem e sugerem que a falta de consistência interna de alguns construtos pode levar a concluir sobre a existência de relações causais. A base de dados aqui utilizadas são provenientes de duas fontes oficiais: os indicadores de governança do Tribunal de Contas da União, contidos no perfil de governança e gestão públicas - ciclo 2018, e os indicadores de desempenho acadêmico das universidades, também referidos a 2018, obtidos no Sistema de Monitoramento, Execução e Controle - Simec. Além desses indicadores institucionais, também foram considerados o desempenho e esforço institucional e o índice de pobreza da respectiva Unidade da Federação. Os resultados apontam que não há qualquer relação direta entre o índice de boas práticas de governança do TCU e o desempenho acadêmico das instituições, em razão do que se acredita que haja uma necessidade de adequar o instrumento utilizado para a realidade das universidades federais brasileiras.
O papel de agentes escolares na intersetorialidade das políticas de educação especial na perspectiva inclusiva
Authors: Souza Izabel Cristina de , Oliveira Ana Cristina Prado de , Paiva Luciana Rocha Angrizani
Published: April 2022

As políticas públicas brasileiras para pessoas com deficiência mostram-se um importante subsídio na garantia do direito à educação desse público. Elas são recontextualizadas segundo as singularidades das escolas e dos alunos e dialogam com outros setores para se materializarem. Nosso objetivo foi discutir a articulação entre distintos aparelhos públicos para garantir o atendimento a alunos com deficiência em duas escolas públicas de Queimados/RJ. A metodologia, de abordagem qualitativa, envolveu análise documental e entrevistas com agentes escolares. Os achados indicaram que a intersetorialidade se revelou importante na interação entre os burocratas da educação, saúde e assistência social, sem haver uma coordenação intersetorial na construção de parcerias.

Como resultados, verificou-se que, embora exista uma correlação estatisticamente significativa entre eles, há situações em que um mesmo município pode obter diferentes resultados educacionais, conforme a escolha do indicador analisado. Com isso, sinaliza-se para a importância de se realizar uma análise conjunta desses indicadores, considerando seus componentes, para uma melhor leitura da realidade educacional no Estado.
Enhanced chromodynamic multi-component lattice boltzmann method for drop and vesicle modelling
Authors:   , Spendlove James
Published: April 2022

Multi-component fluid flows are frequently seen in both nature and industry, such as gas-liquid flows (air-water) and liquid-liquid flows (oil-water). The accurate simulation of such fluid flows requires models to: (i) solve the governing fluid dynamics equations; (ii) reproduce known boundary behaviour at the free surface between the fluids; (iii) embed known surface physics representative of that of the target fluid object, i.e., surface tension when simulating drops. Here, meso-scale modelling techniques offer attractive options for simulating such flows, where due to working at a smaller scale than macro-scale approaches, one can investigate more detailed interactions and phenomena, whilst also recovering the continuum fluid dynamics equations. The development of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), a bottom-up kinetic scale Navier-Stokes solver, furnishes the ability to model such macro-scale properties whilst allowing for the inclusion of meso-scale physics. The chromodynamic multicomponent extension of this (cMCLBM) treats the fluids as separate species, with a diffused interfacial region (de facto surface), where discrete immersed interface forces can be applied to embed known physics of the fluid object. Theoretically, such a modelling approach should be capable of simulating a range of fluid objects, for example: liquid drops, vesicles (erythrocytes), and capsules, by manipulating the treatment of the interface. This work explores extensions to the cMCLBM, with a final objective of modelling vesicles (tailored towards erythrocytes) using this essential approach. Before this, however, it is sensible to confirm the fundamental foundations of the model, i.e., the model’s kinematics and dynamics. As such, work first focuses on the simulation of less complex fluid objects (drops), investigating the utility of the model when applied to fluid flows with a density contrast, where stability is strained. Here, the kinematics and dynamics of the model are assessed in detail through both mathematical analysis and simulation data, to quantify its compliance with known continuum hydrodynamic conditions such as: mutual impenetrability, the no-slip condition, and stress balance across the interface. Following the enhanced understanding of the cMCLBM gained from this work, the simulation of vesicles is targeted. The primary outcome of this work is the development of a single framework approach to modelling vesicle hydrodynamics, with promising possibilities for future applications within haemorheology and microfluidics.

Authors: Dutta Vinay , Khalikar Arun , Wankhede Sattyam , Deogade Suryakant , Kapadia Archit , Doibale Pradyumna
Published: April 2022

Introduction: The currently prevalent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has amounted to various co-morbid conditions amongst patients and mucormycosis has been one among them. A globally emerging disease, this requires aggressive surgical treatment that necessitates due prosthetic rehabilitation. Aim: To assess the impact of prosthodontic intervention on the Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) through Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire in post COVID-19 mucormycosis affected individuals. Materials and Methods: The following study was a questionnaire-based prospective interventional study. The study population included post COVID-19 mucormycosis affected individuals who sought prosthodontic therapy for rehabilitation from the month of April 2021 to October 2021. The study instituted the questionnaire amongst 48 consenting participants. The OHIP-14 questionnaire was validated in their native languages and data was collected before and one month after prosthodontic intervention. Data was statistically analysed by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: For all the individual questions, OHRQoL impact showed a significant decrease following prosthetic intervention (p-value <0.05). Total OHIP score also showed a significant decrease post-treatment (p-value=0.001). Conclusion: Percentage improvement of OHRQoL ranging from 34.79% to 59.86% post prosthodontic intervention was observed. Thus, the impact of prosthodontic therapy among post COVID-19 mucormycosis affected individuals on the OHRQoL of the patient is positively significant.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), the new contagious novel coronavirus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), pandemic in 2020-21 has had a devastating impact on human race. The most common cause of death among hospitalised patient was COVID-19 pneumonia or lung injury. Various studies have shown diurnal variation in human mortality due to all causes with or without intervention. Aim: To identify existence of diurnal variations for mortality among the hospitalised patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Materials and Methods: This hospital-record based, retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary referral centre of north east India (Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh, Assam, India) which was a dedicated COVID-19 hospital during the pandemic. The study was conducted from September 2021 to December 2021 and the data was collected and recorded from the Cadaver slips issued to families of patient dying of COVID-19 pneumonia during the period January 2021 to August 2021. The data were generated by plotting the number of deaths of COVID-19 cases for each two hour interval as a percent of the mean number of deaths per twohour interval and as a percentage of cumulative deaths per twohour interval on a 24 hour scale. The deaths were sub grouped according to gender, age, and reported co-morbid causes of death along with pneumonia. Comparisons of data i.e., mean deaths/2 hour interval (mean±SD) were performed by one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Bartlett's test for equal variances. The p-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Total 743 deaths, with 537 males and 206 females were included in the study. Mean age of the deaths was 56.39 years. There was rise of deaths during 4 PM to 6 PM (16:00 to 18:00) interval for all deaths due to COVID-19 pneumonia. The increase in deaths during this period was mainly due to deaths among males equal or above 65 years and females below age 65 years. However, the deaths of females equal or above the age of 65 years did not show significant diurnal variation. Only 26.51% (n=197) of pneumonia deaths were without co-morbidity. Conclusion: There exists a diurnal variation in mortality among COVID-19 pneumonia patients with evening rise of deaths. Diurnal variation is significantly more among males rather than females above 65 years.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is rapidly escalating globally as well as in India, affecting all age and sex groups. One of the dreaded microvascular complications of DM is Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). In parallel to increase in prevalence of DM and its complications, several reports of serum 25 hydroxy (OH) Vitamin D deficiencies have been documented in India. Aim: To establish the relation of different age and sex groups with different status of serum 25 (OH) Vitamin D level among different grading of Diabetic Retinopathy in patients of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional and observational study was conducted in Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, from May 2019 to May 2020. Total 107 type 2 DM patients aged 40 years and above including both males and females were taken. Direct ophthalmoscopy was done for examination of retina and venous blood was taken for Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS), Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) and serum 25 (OH) Vitamin D level estimation aseptically. Mean, median and standard deviation were compared across the groups using Mann-Whitney's U-Test/ Kruskal-Wallis's Test as appropriate. Spearman’s test was applied for assessing the correlation between age of diabetic patients and vitamin D levels. The p-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: In this study, most of the participants were under the age group of 50-59 years. No significant relationship between the age and Vitamin D levels of the subjects was observed. The association between different status of serum Vitamin D level and different age groups among different grading of Diabetic Retinopathy is statistically significant out of entire sample size, not in individual grading. The association between different sex groups and different vitamin D status among different grading of DR was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference between serum Vitamin D level in males and females with DR. Correlation between serum Vitamin D level and age was linear and positive; but strength was low and p-value was not significant (correlation coefficient=0.100 , p-value=0.306). Conclusion: This present study showed that maximum subjects were under the age group of 6th decade. There was a significant association between different status of serum Vitamin D level and different age groups out of whole study population, however non significant difference was observed between different grades of DR. No association was observed between different sex groups and different Vitamin D status among different grading or severity of DR.

Published: April 2022

Tubercular Meningitis (TBM) is caused due to the seeding of meninges with mycobacterium tuberculosis and about one-third of the world’s population is infected with it. The risk of contracting the infectionincreases in immunocompromised states which includes diabetes mellitus, chronic use of steroids, chronic alcoholism and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) co-infection. Here, a case of 47-year-old female has been presented, who reported to the Department of Medicine with complaints of weakness overthe leftside of the face associated with diminished hearing and tinnitus in the left ear and subjective vertigo since 20 days. Initially, all the above involvement was attributed to bell’s palsy but no improvement was seen with its treatment. Incidentally, she was found to be HIV positive and lumbar puncture was done and eventually, she was diagnosed as a case of TBM. The patient was successfully treated with antitubercular medications and supportive measures and she responded well. She was discharged with antitubercular medications with regular follow-up in view of starting antiretroviral therapy after 6 weeks.

Authors: Saxena Ayushi , Gupta Ashumi
Published: April 2022

Sebaceous Carcinoma is a rare locally aggressive tumour of adnexal epithelium with a potential to metastasize to regional lymph node and distant organs. It constitutes between 1.5 to 5% of all eyelid malignant tumours. After basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, it ranks third in incidence. Sebaceous carcinoma is seen more commonly in elderly females with average age at diagnosis in mid-sixties. Few cases have been reported in paediatric age group. Sebaceous Gland Carcinoma (SGC) is a slowly progressive tumor that arises usually from the meibomian gland in the eyelid, and has a locally aggressive nature with a tendency for pagetoid spread. The neoplasm is known to masquerade other benign and less malignant lesions. The non-specific clinical symptoms may lead to a delay in diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid. Less than 120 cases of extra-occular sebaceous cell carcinoma have been reported so far. Here, the authors present a case of 60 years old female patient, who presented with cheek nodule and cytological diagnosis of metastatic sebaceous carcinoma was made based on cytomorphological features.

Introduction: Blood group information is an integral part of clinical diagnosis using various haematological techniques to understand haematological disorders. Simultaneously, it is mandatory to have clear information on blood groups in case of blood transfusion and related matters. It is important to have complete history of the patients and the subjects including establishment and maintenance of blood banks. Aim: The aim was to study the clinical and physiological manifestations of blood group typing in social groups. Materials and Methods: The present observational study was carried out in four districts (Nainital, Champawat, Pithoragarh and Udham Singh Nagar) of Kumaun region of Uttarakhand, India from March 2018 to March 2019 to record the blood group of students from randomly selected schools and colleges. The collected numerical data was statistically analysed in the form of bar diagram by using Microsoft Excel software. Results: The present survey was carried out during the year 2018 in the colleges, covering 1073 students to understand the blood groups. During the investigation, the majority of students exhibited B+ (242) followed by O+ (237), A+ (208), AB+ (121), O- (15), B- (9), A- (8) and AB- (7) respectively. There were 226 students who refused to give blood sample for blood group typing due to fear and other unexplained reasons. O+ (237) and B+ (242) blood groups were observed as most common blood groups and ABblood group was found only in seven students. Conclusion: The present study yielded information basically on blood group pattern across the population and it can be used by blood donation blood bank societies for collection of blood from various groups.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Anaemia in pregnancy is a major public health problem in India. It leads to high maternal morbidity and mortality, low birth weight and high infant mortality. Thrombocytopenia can also affect the pregnancy state and along with preeclampsia, there is a high risk of complications to both mother and baby. So, it should be aimed to keep in normal range. With early intervention, maternal morbidity and mortality as well as infant mortality can be reduced. Aim: To assess the prevalence of anaemia and thrombocytopenia in pregnant females. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of anaemia and thrombocytopenia in pregnant females. Blood samples of 500 pregnant females of Shantabaa Medical College and General Hospital, Gujarat, India were evaluated to assess the frequency of anaemia and thrombocytopenia using haematology analyser. It was hospital-based study done for six months, from August 2020 to January 2021. All these females were divided into mild (10-10.9 gm/dL), moderate (7-9.9 gm/dL) and severe degree (below 7 gm/dL) anaemia according to haemoglobin values. For thrombocytopenia, all females were divided into mild (100-150×109 /L), moderate (50-100×109 /L) and severe (below 50×109 /L) category according to platelet level. Results: Total 500 pregnant females were included in this study. Out of these, total 351 (70.2%) females were anaemic and 26 females (5.2%) were thrombocytopenic. Most of the anaemic pregnant females were from 26 to 32 years age group (47%) followed by 18 to 25 year age group (34%) and 33 to 40 year age group (19%). Conclusion: It is important to diagnose the effects of anaemia and thrombocytopenia in pregnant females and their offsprings. Anaemia in pregnancy is a challenging health problem in India, particularly in rural area. Early correction of anaemia and thrombocytopenia can reduce maternal morbidity and mortality

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Extranodal Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) constitutes approximately one fourth of all NHL. The data regarding extranodal NHL from India is however limited. Aim: To evaluate the epidemiological and histomorphological patterns of extranodal NHL in a tertiary care institute in Northern India. Materials and Methods: The retrospective observational study was conducted on data of biopsy sections retrieved from the archives for a period of four years (January 2016 to December 2019), 130 extranodal NHL cases (90 males, 40 females) that were analysed for histological features and immunohistochemical subtype. All statistical analysis was done by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The values were represented in number, percentage, mean and ratio. Results: Total of 362 cases of NHL were reported. Out of which, 130 (36%) cases were of extranodal NHL. Male to female ratio being was 2.25:1. Mean age of presentation was 38.5 years. Paediatric cases constituted (32/130; 24.6%) cases. Head and neck was the most common site (52/130; 40%) followed by Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) (21/130; 16.2%) and central nervous system (13/130; 10%). Amongst the paediatric cases, head and neck (11/32; 34.4%) was the most common site, followed by GIT (8/32; 25%). Amongst head and neck lymphomas, nasal cavity and Waldeyer Ring were the most common sites followed by orbit and oral cavity. Common sites among the GIT lymphomas were stomach, small intestine and large intestine. The B-cell NHL constituted 81/130 (62.3%), T-cell NHL 20/130 (15.4%) and NHL (Unclassified) were 29/130 (22.3%). Amongst B-cell type NHL, Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) was the most common subtype. Conclusion: Extranodal NHL diagnosis is challenging due to morphological similarities with non haematopoietic tumours. Lineage determination by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) serves as the key to diagnosis. In our population, head and neck was the most common site, with B-cell NHL being the most common subtype.
Waldenstrom Macroglobulinaemia with Signet Ring Cells: A Case Report
Authors: Ramalingam Thulasi Raman , Vaidhyanathan Lakshman
Published: April 2022

Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia (WM) is an indolent lymphoproliferative disorder characterised by Immunoglobulin M (IgM) production and neoplastic lymphoid infiltrate. The morphology of the neoplastic cells show spectrum of maturation characterised by small lymphocytes, lymphoplasmacytoid cells and plasma cells. The infiltrate is predominantly lymphoid with relatively small population of plasma cells. The plasma cell morphology is commonly of mature type with basophilic cytoplasm, eccentric nucleus with clumped chromatin and perinuclear halo (hof). But incidence of signet ring cells in WM is very rare and only one case has been reported till date. Here, authors report an interesting case of a 61-year-old man who presented with on and off chest pain and later diagnosed as WM with signet ring cells. On examination, the patient was found to have anaemia and lymphadenopathy. Bone marrow aspirate cytology showed hypercellular particles and scattered signet ring like plasma cells with large globular cytoplasmic inclusions. Flow Cytometry (FCM) established the diagnosis by demonstrating the clonal nature of plasma cells and B-lymphoid cells. Immunofixation confirmed the presence of monoclonal protein of IgM lambda type. The cytoplasmic content in these signet ring plasma cells is probably the accumulated IgM due to the defect in releasing. Clustering of these signet ring cells in marrow may raise a suspicion of metastatic adenocarcinoma and should not be misinterpreted.

A Narrative Exploration of Sense of Belonging of Persons Living with Schizophrenia in the Community
Authors: McNeill Devan Mark Joseph , Arai Susan M.
Published: April 2022

This narrative inquiry consisting of an interview and a series of walkabouts with three persons living with schizophrenia identified five experiences: (1) feeling something was wrong, (2) being diagnosed, (3) a turning point, (4) their life starting over, and (5) achieving a feeling of peace or acceptance. All three narratives identified sense of belonging as the key to understanding movement through these stages. The implications for mental health practitioners are the need for patient access to peer social interactions during the early stages of diagnosis, opportunities for self-determination in care practices, and a greater focus on belonging within hospital settings.

Dairy farming is the subsidiary occupation for millions of farmers in India. Due to risks and uncertainties in rainfed areas, crop production alone was not much remunerative. Diversifying dairy with the crop and allied activities would generate better income, nutritional security, and regular employment to the farming community and ensure risk reduction. This study investigates the extent and determinants of income diversification among dairy farm households in Tamil Nadu using the Simpson Index of Diversity (SID) and the Tobit regression model. Primary data were collected from dairy farm households during the year 2021-22. The results show that two-thirds of the total household income was shared by on-farm income and the remaining one-third by off-farm and non-farm activities to the total household income. Simpson Index of Diversity (0.38) indicated that the households were diversified with milch animals, but the degree of the diversification was low since high degree of diversification requires more labour and high cost. Further, education, family size, landholding size, herd size, proximity to agricultural or allied industry, access to credit, and membership in farmer producer organizations were the important determinants of income diversification. This study indicates that farm households should adopt a concentric approach that requires targeted research, information dissemination, infrastructure development, and agricultural technical institution establishments to boost income diversification and livelihood.

Neocarya macropuylla seed hexane extract (NMSHE) was examined for the presence of various phytoconstituents.  The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by testing the extract on selected drug resistant bacteria viz: S. aureus, E. coli, B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa and fungi viz: C. albicans, A. niger using agar technique of pour plate and surface plate dilution that were selected based on their peculiarity to humans. Wound healing activity of NMSHE was investigated by formulating a dosage of 5 % and 10 % concentration of the extract in paraffin. 21 wistar rats shared into three groups with each group housing 7 animals each over an experimental period of 21 days were properly fed and  given free access to water throughout the experiment that was authenticated by the weight measurement taken every four days. Investigation of the wound healing activity of the extract was performed by measuring the wound area (mm2) and percentage of wound closure on the 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 20th day of the study; the wound epitheliasation was determined from the 16th to 20th  days. Histopathological analysis of the control and test groups’ skin tissues, liver, kidney, heart, lung and spleen and haematological evaluation of the blood parameters were carried out at the end of the experiment.

The result of the phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of terpenoids and glycosides in NMSHE. At 5 % and 10 % concentrations, NMSHE inhibited the growth of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, B. subtilis, C. albicans and A. niger.  Group 2 rats treated with 5 % NMSHE gave a faster and better epitheliasation time than those in group 1 treated with control base ointment. The histopathology and haematology analyses result showed no disparity between the control and the test group; this is a point of reference showing that the extracts seemed to possess some essential constituents which actually hastened the wound healing process.

macrophylla seed hexane extract healed the wound created on wistar rats at a faster time than the control ointment hence could probably serve as a replacement to conventional wound healing ointment.

Published: April 2022

Background: The most acute manifestation of coronary artery disease is ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and is associated with mortality and morbidity. In the majority of cases, complete thrombotic occlusion develops from an atherosclerotic plaque in an epicardial coronary vessel is the cause of STEMI. Early diagnosis and immediate reperfusion reduce the risk of post-STEMI complications and heart failure and thereby are the most effective ways to limit myocardial ischemia and infarct size. If primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) cannot be performed within 120 minutes of STEMI diagnosis, fibrinolysis therapy should be administered to dissolve the occluding thrombus and PCI has become the preferred reperfusion strategy in patients with STEMI.

Methods: From the emergency section of the hospital in the month of October 2021, 7 adult patients were identified with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary. We used the framework of regression discontinuity to test for discontinuity at 90 minutes among the included cases. The Door - Balloon as 90 minutes minus the time between hospital arrival and catheterization laboratory arrival -defined as a novel variable. To assess the relationship between remaining Door - Balloon time and access site we have estimated multivariable logistic regression models.

Results: The results of primary PTCA in the month of October 2021 were performed in less than 90 minutes without any mortality in 7 patients.

Conclusions: Our Data on mortality and morbidity benefits of primary angioplasty shows a 100% decrease in mortality of patients undergoing primary PTCA within 90 minutes as compared to international data which shows a 40% decrease.

Street foods are seen as a public health problem due to lack of infrastructure and basic services, difficulty in controlling the plethora of street food sales operations due to their diversity, their mobility, and their temporary nature. The objective of this study is to show the impact of the consumption of two street foods (Garba with tuna and rice with eggplant sauce) consumed in Côte d'Ivoire on the health of the Ivorian population. To contribute to the nutritional and health security of the population, the consumption of these dishes has been demonstrated in young Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Thus, we hypothesized that the consumption of these street foods would have a deleterious effect on consumer health. However, five days 20 young rats of male and female sexes aged 50±5 days and weighing an average of 55±5 g were acclimatized and fed on a formulated isocaloric diet rich in herring fish (Clupea harengus) animal protein. After the acclimatization phase, four batches of rats of five rats per cage were fed respectively with diets (DWP, CDHF, GWTF and RES). The results showed that juvenile rats fed the CDHF and RES diet gained a lot of weight (5.66 ± 0.34 g/d and 5.16 ± 0.58 g/d) while those fed the GWTF diet had a progressive, slow weight gain. (2.32 ±0.23 g/d) and batch of rats fed without protein (DWP) observed considerable weight loss (-1.07±0.06 g/d). In terms of biological value, the results demonstrate that rats fed the RES diet have a higher protein availability (84.23 ±0.02%) than rats fed the GWTF diet (54.31 ±0.06 %). It follows from this analysis that it is necessary to combine GWTF with other protein-rich foods to compensate for the nutritional deficits caused by its ingestion. In young rats fed experimental diets, biometric research on vital organs (heart, liver, spleen and kidneys) revealed no abnormalities.

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a recurring climate pattern involving changes in the temperature of waters in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. The three phases of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) namely the neutral phase, El Niño and La Niña oscillations. El Niño refers to the above-average sea-surface temperatures that periodically develop across the east-central equatorial Pacific. It represents the warm phase of the ENSO cycle. La Niña refers to the periodic cooling of sea-surface temperatures across the east-central equatorial Pacific. The state of Karnataka is located on a table land in the angle where the Western and Eastern Ghat ranges converge into the Nilgiri hill complex. 41 year (1980-2020) average annual rainfall of Karnataka collected from the rain gauge station located under the farm universities of Karnataka and, SST and SOI data collected from NOAA were used to study the rainfall variability while ENSO events. The El Niño events will deviate the rainy winds towards eastern pacific region causing lesser rainfall on Indian sub-continent or draughts in some years, but when it comes to Karnataka El Niño events have given above average rainfall. There were 8 episodes of excess rainfall and 6 episodes of deficient rainfall during the 14 El Niño episodes, and 3 episodes of excess rainfall and 8 episodes of deficient rainfall during the 11 La Niña episodes. The remaining 16 episodes were neutral years, with 10 episodes having excessive rainfall and the remaining 6 having deficient rainfall. Hence the El Niño episodes is good when compared to La Niña episodes over Karnataka.

Lower yield in dryland conditions is often associated with drought. Eastern Dry Zone of Karnataka, dominated with arid and semi-arid climate is characterized with predominant drought which is conjugated with reduced rainfall intensity and intermittent dry spells measures to overcome upgraded agricultural practices such as appropriate varieties, scientific methods of crop establishment, in-situ moisture conservation techniques and ex-situ rain water harvesting and its productive utilization was demonstrated from 2011 to 2019 at farmers field of Chikkamaranahalli cluster finger millet varieties sown under different sowing windows long duration (MR-1) for July sowing, medium duration (GPU-28) for August first fortnight sowing, short duration (GPU-48) for August second fortnight sowing performed well opening of in-situ moisture conservation furrows in between paired rows of pigeonpea in finger millet + pigeonpea (8:2) and groundnut + pigeonpea (8:2) inter cropping system recorded higher yield than that of farmers practice. Among the different crop establishment techniques transplanting of finger millet and sowing using modified bullock drawn seed drill resulted in superior yield over broadcasting. Thus climate resilient practices along with timely advisory services helped in maintaining sustainability.
