Published: September 2024

Introduction: Accurate determination of gestation is very important in routine antenatal care. Gestation age is usually determined from the last menstrual period, which is unreliable due to recall bias and menstrual irregularities etc. It is also determined from fetal biometry whose accuracy decrease with increasing gestation age. Normal placental growth determines normal fetal growth. Aim: To determine the average sonographic placental thickness and its correlation with GA among low-risk singleton pregnant women 15 weeks to 36weeks attending antenatal clinic at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital. Methods: This was a cross sectional study of 249 singleton low risk pregnant women with known first day of last normal menstrual period (LNMP) at 15 to 36weeks of gestation attending antenatal clinic at MRRH from June 2021 to September 2021. Ultrasound scanning was performed using GE logic V2 ultrasound machine with (3-5MHZ) convex probe. Placental thickness (PT) was measured perpendicular at umbilical cord insertion, fetal growth parameters (BPD, HC, AC and FL) were also determined. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA© 15.0 software). Mean placental thickness with standard deviation was calculated. Pearson’s correlation was applied to determine the correlation between placental thickness (PT) and gestational age as well as foetal growth parameters. Results: In this study the participants age range was 16-43 years with mean of (25±5.59) years. Their parity ranged from 0-7(mean 1.28±1.37). The mean PT was (28.47 ± 5.43) mm. PT ranged from (17.95± 1.10) mm at 15 weeks to (37.50 ± 1.69) mm at 36 weeks. PT (in mm) had a linear relationship and a statistically significant positive correlation with GA (in weeks) (r = 0.96), p=0.001. There was also a statistically significant positive correlation between PT and the fetal growth parameters. Conclusion: Placental thickness increases with increase in gestational age.

Context and objective Schistosomoses or bilharziasis constitute the second world parasitic endemia after malaria, the objective of our study was to generally study urinary bilharzia at the Markala reference health centre. Patients and methods: It was a transversal and descriptive study carried out in the Markala reference health center on the cases of urinary bilharzoses diagnosed and treated on the basis of paraclinical investigations over a period of 29 months from January 2019 to June 2021. At the end of this study, it appears that 62 cases of urinary bilharziosis had been diagnosed, including 19 associated tumours. The average age of our patients was 28 years, with extremes ranging from 04 to 75 years. Male sex was most represented with 48 cases or 77.4%. The bambaras were the most affected ethnic group or 43.5% with a clear provenance of the Markala district (43.5%). We recorded 18 cases of chronic kidney failure, 29%, followed by chronic cystitis (19.4%). The radiological aspects of sequelae of the most found uro-genital bilharzia were: bladder tumors with 67.7%; Calcifications (ureteral and bladder) represented 32.3%; and Bilharzian cystitis (40.32%). Calcifications (ureteral and bladder) according to the topography were noted respectively 22% and 10.3%. Conclusion: A real public health problem Bilharziasis occupies second place in parasitic conditions in Mali. It represents a real obstacle to economic development because touching the most active age of the population. The paradox of bilharziasis is that, the irrigated areas, fitted out to ensure food self- sufficiency and hydroelectric dams contribute to the progression of the Bilharzian infestation.

Authors: Tunaligil Verda
Published: September 2024

Objective: The study highlights the critical role of resilient health infrastructure and emergency preparedness in earthquake-prone cities, inspired by historical events such as the 1906 San Francisco and 1960 Great Chilean earthquakes. It aims to develop a Geographic/Geospatial Information System (GIS) framework to improve disaster preparedness and response for health institutions, with a particular focus on Istanbul and case studies from Los Angeles, Tokyo, San Francisco, and Mexico City. 
Materials and Methods: The methodology includes comprehensive data collection from government databases and health records, followed by data preprocessing using GIS tools for integration and geocoding. The GIS database was structured to include layers representing health facilities, population density, and infrastructure. Spatial analysis techniques such as buffer analysis and spatial clustering were applied to optimize resource allocation and response strategies. Visualization of data is to be accomplished through interactive maps and dashboards, with reporting supported by data visualization and analysis software.
Results: Expected outcomes include a 20% increase in healthcare accessibility in Istanbul, a 30% improvement in resource allocation efficiency and 15% increase in coverage in Los Angeles, a 20% reduction in response time and 25% improvement in resource deployment in Tokyo, a 15% improvement in emergency response efficiency and 10% reduction in response times in San Francisco, and a 20% increase in infrastructure robustness in Mexico City. The presumed percentages are based on general assumptions and typical outcomes, not definitive data. Population dynamics, such as Istanbul’s 15,847,768 residents with a 1.26% growth rate and Tokyo’s 37,194,105 residents with a slight decline of -0.21% in growth rate, further emphasize the need for tailored health infrastructure and response strategies.
Discussion: Substantial benefits, including improved resource allocation, enhanced accessibility, and optimized emergency response, are demonstrated through GIS integration. Challenges such as data quality and real-time updates remain. Future research should focus on advancing GIS technology and public health strategies.
Conclusions: Significantly improving public health preparedness and response, GIS highlights its importance for effective disaster management and community resilience amid growing urbanization and seismic risks.

Introduction: Raynaud syndrome is a vasomotor disorder that predominantly affects the fingers of the hands and feet, characterized by episodes of pallor, cyanosis and flushing due to changes in blood circulation. These manifestations occur in response to stimuli such as cold or emotional stress, leading to temporary constriction of peripheral blood vessels. Although often benign, the syndrome may be associated with various cardiovascular complications, especially when it occurs in secondary form, related to autoimmune conditions or connective tissue diseases. Understanding clinical manifestations and potential cardiovascular complications is crucial for proper management and more severe impact prevention on patients' cardiovascular health. Objective: To examine clinical manifestations and cardiovascular complications associated with Raynaud syndrome, analyzing the prevalence, gravity and mechanisms involved in its clinical presentation. METHODOLOGY: For review, checklist prisma was used to ensure transparency and quality of the review. Pubmed, Scielo and Web of Science databases were consulted using five descriptors: “Raynaud syndrome”, “cardiovascular complications”, “clinical manifestations”, “peripheral vasoconstriction” and “autoimmune diseases”. Studies have been included published in the last 10 years. The inclusion criteria were: studies that directly addressed cardiovascular complications of Raynaud syndrome, pairs revised articles and research with original clinical data. The exclusion criteria were: articles outside the established period, case studies not related to cardiovascular complications and articles not available in full text. RESULTS: Review revealed that clinical manifestations of Raynaud syndrome include cyclic changes in extremity coloration and symptoms of pain or discomfort in vasoconstriction phases. Identified cardiovascular complications include pulmonary hypertension and increased risk of peripheral arterial diseases. Studies also indicated an association with autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma, where the severity of symptoms and cardiovascular complications can be accentuated. Conclusion: Raynaud syndrome, in addition to its typical clinical manifestations, is associated with various cardiovascular complications that can significantly impact the patient's health. Early recognition and proper management of these complications are essential for improving the quality of life and preventing more serious adverse events. Integration of adequate clinical and therapeutic approaches can reduce risk and improve long -term results for affected individuals.

Published: September 2024

The article notes that according to the results of marketing research by leading marketing associations, consumer behavior in the refrigeration market will change under the influence of changes in the volume of the global refrigerator market. An assessment of the results of analytical studies of the volume of global sales of refrigerating appliances is presented, indicating the forecast values. The refrigeration market is customer-oriented and customercentric, and this important factor is taken into account when forming government programs for market development, because it is a multifunctional market that unites many interests of political, social and economic importance. Significant difficulties appeared at such stages of the industry’s development, which, it would seem, have already been regulated and worked out, and did not fail. For example, there were certain difficulties with the installation and commissioning of production equipment due to a change of contractor or in connection with the replacement of components and spare parts. Operational costs for transport and logistics services have also increased, because as a result of the influence of Western sanctions and the establishment of mirror sanctions, the logistics supply chains of refrigeration units, refrigerating appliances, spare parts and components and other important components of the refrigeration market have changed. The results of monitoring consumer behavior in the refrigeration market as a factor in determining marketing strategies are presented.

Published: September 2024

La hermenéutica tiene que ver con la interpretación de un dogma. Ahí radica su potencia, en la fijación de una tesis que permite la especulación y la diversidad de interpretaciones que buscan, desde diferentes ángulos, alcanzar el fenómeno de la comprensión. Esta hermenéutica es central en el pensamiento griego y se radicaliza en las filosofías latinas, que encarnan tal dogma en un hecho fundamentalmente religioso y no metafísico, como lo hicieran los helenos.

Biofuels are esteemed as viable alternatives due to their renewability, lower greenhouse gas emissions relative to conventional fuels, and potential for reduced environmental impact compared to traditional fuels. Based on the sources of feedstock and the methods used in production, the development and categorization of biofuels into primary, first-generation, second-generation, and third-generation are examined.
Second-generation biofuels, which use non-edible biomass but have cost-effectiveness issues, are compared with first-generation biofuels, which were originally promising but contentious owing to competition for land and worries about food security. Despite present economic constraints, third-generation biofuels, especially those derived from algae, are renowned for their high biomass production and environmental advantages. The study covers the latest
developments in technology, how they integrate with the current infrastructure, how regulations support them, and if they are economically feasible for general use. Prospects for the future place a strong emphasis on technological developments and global scalability to provide sustainable energy solutions.

Authors: - Ajit Raha , - Suparna Sanyal Mukherjee
Published: September 2024

Economic necessity often forces children to work in informal sectors such as street vending, rag-picking, or begging which impacts Child labour limits the time and energy available for schooling, leading to poor academic performance and higher dropout rates.Street children often live in areas with inadequate educational infrastructure or far from schools. The distance, lack of transportation, and unsafe environments discourage regular school attendance. Additionally, street children may not have the necessary documentation for school enrolment.

THE CHILD LABOUR (PROHIBITION AND REGULATION) ACT, 1986 introduced Employment of children below 14 and 15 years in certain prohibited employments have been prohibited by various Acts but there is no procedure laid down in any law for deciding in which employments, occupations or processes the employment of children should be banned. There is also no law to regulate the working conditions of children in most of the employments where they are not prohibited from working and are working under exploitative conditions. Accordingly it was decided to enact a comprehensive law on the subject. To achieve this objective the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Bill was introduced in the Parliament.

The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) is a transformative document that aims to revolutionize India’s education system. NEP 2020 builds on the pillar of access, equity, quality, affordability and accountability. These principles drive its vision for a knowledge of the vibrant society of which street children are one amongst all.

Educational exploration among the street children are very less, all are engaged their day to day sustainable life in different economic orientation. Earning is more essential than education.
Street children are facing stigma and discrimination from society, which can lead to exclusion from formal educational institutions. This social bias affects their self-esteem and limits their access to resources.

The present sequel peered into the street children of Sonarpur area of Kolkata Metropolitan City. Total 57 children were selected for the present study purpose for their educational status. The education is less and followed below average due to below poverty structure and lack of facilities which enforce them to illegal activities and enhance social menace.

Published: September 2024

Orofacial discomfort is mostly caused by temporomandibular disorders (TMD), which are among the most prevalent maxillofacial symptoms. Alternative tissue engineering alternatives are much sought after, despite the fact that present therapies offer both short- and long-term relief. Developing treatment plans that offer long-term relief from TMD and enable patients to resume normal function is of utmost importance. Understanding normal structure and function is a must for tissue engineering. Following a brief overview of the present state of TMD therapy, the morphological, mechanical, and biochemical properties of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and related tissues will be examined. The major focus is on the latest advancements in tissue engineering, whether or not a scaffold is needed, for the regeneration of TMJ tissue components. It is anticipated that tissue engineering would yield biomimetic TMJ tissues that accurately replicate the natural structure and function of the TMJ, hence providing appropriate management of TMD.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD): Environmental Modifiable Risk Factors
Authors: - Paula Denisa Saragea
Published: September 2024

Abstract:
Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a pervasive, complex and heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline, and the accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Despite extensive research, its multifactorial etiology, involving both genetic and environmental components, remains complex and not fully understood. Objectives: This study aims to explore the interaction between genetic predispositions and non-genetic risk factors in the development of AD. It seeks to identify key modifiable risk factors and evaluate their impact on disease onset and progression, while emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in understanding and mitigating AD. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The study focused on analyzing review articles, meta-analyses, original and clinical studies relevant to AD's risk factors. Data were synthesized to identify significant patterns and interactions affecting AD onset and progression. Results and Discussion: Genetic factors, including mutations in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, and allelic variants such as APOE4, contribute significantly to AD risk. Non-genetic factors, including advanced age, female sex, harmful behaviors (e.g., smoking, chronic alcoholism), chronic stress, exposure to solvents and pesticides, and associated diseases (e.g., obesity, diabetes, traumatic brain injury, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia), also play crucial roles. The study highlights the interaction between these factors, noting that while genetic predispositions establish a baseline risk, environmental and behavioral influences can modulate the disease’s onset and progression. Conclusion: Understanding the multifactorial nature of AD requires addressing both genetic and modifiable risk factors. Effective management and prevention strategies should focus on reducing exposure to harmful environmental factors and modifying lifestyle behaviors. Enhancing public awareness and implementing preventive measures are critical for mitigating the impact of AD and improving patient outcomes. Further research is essential for developing targeted therapies and preventive strategies.
