PREDICTION OF PREECLAMPSIA BY WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE AND BY MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE
Authors: Acharya Dr. Rujuta
Published: November 2019

INTRODUCTION:  The early detection of the risk of PE may improve the outcome by increasing patient surveillance or by initiating a therapeutic intervention. After taking family history and medical history of obstetric events, hypertension, renal disease, or thrombophilia can help to stratify the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and history alone will identify fewer than half the women who later develop pre-eclampsia. Routine screening for specific risk factors for pre-eclampsia  i.e. nullipara, older age, high body mass index (BMI), family history of pre-eclampsia,  multiple pregnancy, more than 10 years between pregnancies, and a personal history of pre-eclampsia is advised.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:Detail history of all the participants was taken which comprises of age, parity, and past obstetric complications. Medical history was taken and pregnant ladies. Blood pressure measurement was done by standard mercury sphygmomanometer. Mean arterial pressure was calculated by Burton’s formula. Waist circumference was measured midway between the lowest rib and the iliac crest. Waist circumference of >80 cm was used as a cut off.

RESULTS: Majority of the patients who developed pre eclampsia were in the age group of 20 to 25 years (66%).in our study primigravida were 60% who developed pre eclampsia. In our study 40 (20%) had mean arterial pressure >90 mmHg 22 developed preeclampsia while out of 160 (80%) patients having mean arterial pressure <90 mmHg 24 developed preeclampsia. sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value was 47.83 %, 88.31 %, 55.00% and 85.00 % respectively.86 women had waist circumference >80 cm out of 80 women 34 developed preeclampsia while 52 were normotensive. Out of 114 women having waist circumference <80 cm 12 developed preeclampsia while 102 remain normotensive with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 73.91%, 66.23%, 39.53% and 89.47% respectively.

CONCLUSION: Mean arterial pressure is a good predictor of preeclampsia with high specificity and negative predictive value. Waist circumference is a simple, and reproducible method with high negative predictive value.

CLINICAL STUDY OF RETINOPATHY IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH RISK FACTORS
Authors: Singh Dr Kalpana , Balwir Dr Dhiraj , Singh Dr Jeetendra , Raikar Dr Ruchita
Published: November 2019

Aim: To study the relationship between severity of diabetic retinopathy (PDR or NPDR) and systemic complications of diabetes mellitus such as Neuropathy, Nephropathy or Cardiovascular manifestation as hypertension.

Methods and Materials: This prospective observational study of 100 patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy. Such patients were recruited as a part of the study and further examined for any other systemic abnormality as neuropathy, nephropathy or hypertension.

Statistical Analysis: Chi square test, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. P value < 0.05 was taken as significant.

Results: Male: Female ratio of presence of diabetic retinopathy was 2.13: 1. The rate of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) was 1.47 % in persons who had diabetes for less than 5 years to 7.35 % in persons who had diabetes more than 15 years.

In our study, it was seen that nephropathy was present in 35.71 % cases with PDR as compared to 8.93% of cases with Non proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).

Conclusion: Our study showed that there is a significant correlation between severity of retinopathy and duration in type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients.

Maximum number of patients with Diabetes mellitus having cardiovascular involvement, had hypertension (68%).In patients suffering from neuropathy as a complication of DM, maximum number of patients had diabetic foot (56%).It was seen that the severity of diabetic retinopathy had some association with presence of nephropathy.

Also it can be postulated that patients with severe NPDR and PDR have high risk of developing nephropathy than patients suffering with mild and moderate NPDR.

Hence it can be recommended that all patients of diabetes mellitus suffering from clinically significant neuropathy, nephropathy or hypertension as a complication of diabetes should always be screened for presence of retinopathy.

Further studies with larger sample size are to be conducted to further look into this association.

Authors: Kumar Dr. Ankit , Kulshrestha Dr. Arun Kumar
Published: November 2019

INTRODUCTION: In some individual’s suffering from hypertension, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, myocardial infarction and thyrotoxicosis, these hemodynamic stress responses can turn into life-threatening conditions like left ventricular failure, myocardial ischemia, cerebral hemorrhage, and ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Different drugs like lidocaine, vasodilator agents inhibiting sympathoadrenal response, α-and β-adrenergic blockers, and opioids can be administered prior to tracheal intubation to prevent hemodynamic responses. But higher dose of lignocaine may lead to hypotension, bradycardia, and hypoxia in patients. Due to various effect of these drugs on hemodynamic changes in patients this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of IV esmolol, lignocaine, and labetalol for attenuation of hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 90 consecutive patients were included in the study and were grouped in to, lignocaine group, labetalol and esmolol group containing 30 patients each. Age group 21–65 years of either sex or American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Grade I or II scheduled for various general surgical procedures under endotracheal anesthesia were included in this study. Patients excluded were pregnant and lactating women, morbid obesity, and hypertension. RESULTS: Mean Age in Group 1, group2 and group 3 was 40.38 ± 7.25, 43.8 ± 9.24 and 42.56 ± 8.71 respectively while weight was 62.41 ± 7.32, 63.63 ± 8.11 and 60.74 ± 6.92 respectively. There were 17 male and 13 female in group 1, 19 male and 11 female in group 2 and 16 male and 14 female in group 3. Attenuation of blood pressure was more in labetalol group. Reduction of heart rate in labetalol group was significant. It is seen that Labetalol was more effective at attenuation of diastolic blood pressure among all drugs. Mean arterial pressure was not much reduced lignocaine and esmolol group as compared to labetalol.

CONCLUSION: Haemodynamic alterations are usually observed during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. In our study it was found that as labetalol is a safe and effective drug, for attenuation of sympathomimetic response.

Authors: Sinsinwar Dr. Dhan Singh , Gupta Dr. Ravi
Published: November 2019

INTRODUCTION: Lower Segment Cesarean Section (LSCS) delivery is a major obstetrical surgical procedure to save the lives of mothers and foetus. Surgical site infections (SSI) are the most common reason about 20% to be unplanned admitted after discharging of the patient to their home. Various risk factors in SSI following LSCS has been identified which includes subcutaneous hematoma, subcutaneous hematoma, tobacco use in pregnancy, incision length > 16.6 cm , body mass index >30 or 35 kg/m2, prolonged second stage (compared with first stage) , no antibiotic prophylaxis, duration of labour >12 h , premature rupture of membranes , gestational diabetes, previous cesarean delivery and emergency delivery.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 646 patients were included in the study of which 27 were diagnosed as SSI. Risk factor for SSI was divided into three categories: 1) host-related factors, 2) pregnancy and intrapartum-related factors, and 3) procedure-related factors. Purulent discharge was obtained from the surgical incision site 48 hours postoperatively with sterile disposable swabs. Blood sample for blood culture was collected when the possibility of septicemia or bacteremia as suggested by the presence of fever, shock, or other signs and symptoms of sepsis associated with the surgical wound. The bacterial isolates obtained were identified as per standard identification procedures in time microbiology laboratory. Antibiotic susceptibility of the organisms done as per protocol.

RESULTS: A total of 646 patients were included in the study of which 94 (14.55%) were diagnosed as SSI. mean age of patients who underwent LSCS was 24± 4.57 years. Of the 646 patients in 18 - 20 years 125 (19.3%),21-25 years 304 (47.1%), 26-30 years 189 (29.3%) and in > 30 years age group 28 (4.3%) cases were observed, of the total 94 SSI cases 11 (8.8%) were in the age group if 18 - 20 years, 39 (12.8%) were in the age group of 21-25 years, 32 (16.9%) were in 26-30 years age group and 12 (42.9%) were in the > 30 years age group. Acinetobacter spies was the commonest isolate 29(30.9%) followed by staphylococcus aureus 22 (23.4%), Escherichia coli 21 (22.3%) and Klebsiellapneumoniae. premature rupture of membrane (PROM), antibiotics given earlier than 2 hours and increased duration of stay in the hospital were found to be statistically significant. It was interpreted that PROM > 24 hrs is likely to increase the chances of infection. As the duration of hospital stay increases by 1 day, the chances of infection increase.

CONCLUSION: Identification, management and proper assessment of risk factors are necessary to in reduction of SSI rates. Premature rupture of membrane (PROM), antibiotics given earlier than 2 hours, BMI >25 and increased duration of stay in the hospital were associated with increased SSI rate.

EVALUATION OF PRIMARY EXTRANODAL NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMA: A RECORD BASE STUDY
Authors: Gandhi Dr. Bipin
Published: November 2019

INTRODUCTION: Lesions in head and neck have always been a diagnostic dilemma for a pathologist and a treating clinician. Being on the exposed part of body, they become cosmetically unacceptable. These include lesions arising from the regional group of lymph nodes. Most commonly lymphadenopathy is a common clinical presentation. The diagnostic probability ranges from infections to developmental abnormalities, from inflammatory to malignant lesions. None the less all the lesions in lymph nodes of the head and neck region cannot be limited to a particular age group and gender. Routine staining procedures like PAP, Giemsa, Field and even H & E has been used to clinch the pathogenesis of the lesion. It can be said without any fear of contradiction that FNAC is certainly a very important tool for an early diagnosis of not only head and neck lesions but also other lesions elsewhere in the body.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a comparative study which was conducted in the department of pathology. The patients were subjected to detailed history and thorough clinical examination according to the working proforma. Patients were subjected to FNAC after written informed concent. The slides were stained using PAP, Giemsa and H&E stain and examined for underlying pathology. A detailed gross examination was done and 3-15 sections were selected from the representative areas for routine paraffin sections.

 RESULTS: Amongst the total of 296 patients aspirated, 127 were from Lymph Nodes of head and neck region. Cervicallymph nodes were the most common group of lymph nodes aspirated, followed by submandibular and submental lymph nodes. Age wise tabulation shows maximum frequency of inflammatory lesions at younger age, of  which reactive hyperplasia was more common in pediatric age group and tuberculous lesions were more common in 20-40years of age.

CONCLUSION: Cervical lymph nodes were the most common group of lymph nodes aspirated, followed by submandibular and submental lymph nodes. Reactive lymphadenitis is the most frequent diagnosis amongst the lymph node lesions and tuberculous lesions was the second most common diagnosis amongst all the lymph node lesions. 35 cases out of 127, as tuberculous lymphadenitis. Histopathology correlation could be done in 36 cases, of which 32 were found be correctly diagnosed in cytology.

Authors: Bansal Dr. Krishna Murari , Singh Dr. Prithvi Raj
Published: November 2019

INTRODUCTION: Nasal septum is the bone and cartilage of the nose that separates the nasal cavity into two passages the space between the septum and the lateral walls of the nasal cavity regulates airflow and respiration. Nasal septum deviation is one of the most frequent reasons for nasal obstruction presented with a reduction in nasal airflow and chronic mucosal irritation. Abnormal upper airway resistance can play a role in the development of hypertension. Effective management of hypertension decreases the risk of, myocardial infarction, stroke, chronic kidney disease and heart failure.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Adults of both sexes with age range from 20–40 years, suffering from symptomatic nasal septal deviation and newly detected hypertension (mean BP ≥140/90 mm Hg), undergoing submucosal resection (SMR) of the deviated septum, were included in the study. Preoperative evaluation was done and detailed history was taken. asal septal deformities were classified according to the Dreher scale (0 = none i.e. no deviation, 1 = mild deviation i.e. deviation less than half of the total distance to the lateral wall, 2 = moderate deviation i.e. deviation greater than half of the total distance to the lateral wall but not touching it, 3 = severe deviation i.e. deviation touching the lateral wall). Compensatory inferior turbinate hypertrophy, when present, was noted. Hypertension was considered as controlled in patients who had a mean SBP <140 mm Hg and mean DBP <90 mm Hg on follow up, Patients in whom SBP was ≥140 mm Hg and/or DBP ≥90 mm Hg, were considered as uncontrolled hypertensive and they were started on medical treatment for hypertension. Postoperatively, patients were followed up after 1 month, 3 months and at the end of 1 year.

RESULTS: Of the 50 patients included in the study 40 (80%) were male and 10(20%) were female. Mean age was 34 ± 4.56. Mild septal deviation was seen in 10(20%), moderate septal deviation was observed in 31 (62%) and severe septal deviation was seen in 9 (18%). Compensatory hypertrophy was observed in 11(22%) of cases. Mean preoperative SBP was 143.76 ± 2.78 mm Hg and mean DBP was 93 ± 1.55 mm Hg. Hypertension was controlled in 70 % of patients who showed a strongly significant (P < 0.001) decrease in BP about 10–12 mm Hg decrease in SBP and 4–5 mm Hg decrease in DBP.

CONCLUSION: Patients with hypertension and deviated nasal septum, surgical correction is always indicated as it helps in reducing the blood pressure and thereby prevent cardio-pulmonary and cardio vascular complications secondary to hypertension.
“INTRAABDOMINAL HYPERTENSION AND ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME IN EMERGENCY LAPAROTOMY PATIENTS IN TERTIARY CARE RURAL HOSPITAL”
Authors: Patil Dr. Rohit B , Parmeshwar Dr. Tushar M. , Gupta Dr. Dilip
Published: November 2019

Background: Although initially recognized over 150 years ago, the patho-physiologic implications of elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) have essentially been rediscovered only within the past two decades. The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence, morbidity and mortality of intra abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome in emergency laparotomy patients in tertiary care rural hospital.

Method:  IAP measurement was done in all patients undergoing emergency laparotomy with manometry technique (U tube technique) using per- urethral foley's catheterization.

Results: Our study population was a group of patients who underwent laparotomy for various indications which included traumatic as well as non-traumatic causes. In total, 104 patients, with 30 females and 74 males were included in the study population who fulfilled the study criteria. The mean ± SD age in our study were 40.2±13 years with 20-30yrs being the most common age group. Most of the studies on IAH and ACS analyse either trauma or ICU patients. Little has been reported on ACS in general surgical population. Our study population was a group of patients who underwent laparotomy for various indications which included traumatic as well as non traumatic causes, hence a predominance of general surgical patients.

Conclusions: Findings suggest that the incidence of ACS in our study is 3.84 % and found to be more common in trauma patients. There is significant association between increased Intra-abdominal pressure at 6 and 24 hours after laparotomy and organ dysfunction. The total mortality rate in ACS group was 75%. There is significant association between increased Intra-abdominal pressure and mortality.

Authors: Anwar Saiful
Published: November 2019

The higher the proportion of debt, the higher the stock price, but at a certain point, the increase in debt will reduce the value of the company because the benefits obtained from the use of debt are smaller than the costs incurred. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of ownership structure – managerial ownership and institutional ownership, asset structure, and earning volatility on debt policy. The data used in this study are secondary data in the form of managerial ownership data, institutional ownership, asset structure, earning volatility and debt policy in pharmaceutical companies that go public on the Indonesia Stock Exchange 2013-2017. The statistical method used is the Stepwise Regression, because there is high multicollinearity in managerial ownership variables, institutional ownership, assets structure, earning volatility. Based on the results of the Stepwise Regression shows that the variables entered into the regression model are earning volatility. Other variables such as managerial ownership, institutional ownership, asset structures are not included in the Stepwise Regression so that conclusion is only earning volatility variable that influences the debt policy earning volatility variables that affect debt policy.

Published: November 2019

Abstract— The purpose of this study is to compare the video quality between the Samsung HP camera and the Xiaomi HP camera. The object of study was UNPRI students who walked through the front yard of the UNPRI SEKIP campus. Here we test how accurate the camera's HP capture capacity is used to take the video. The method used to test this research is the Convolution Neural Network method. Object detection and recognition aim to detect and classify objects that can be applied to various fields such as face, human, pedestrian, vehicle detection (Pedoeem & Huang, 2018), besides the ability to find, identify, track and stabilize objects in various poses and important backgrounds in many real-time video applications. Object detection, tracking, alignment and stabilization have become very interesting fields of research in the vision and recognition of computer patterns due to the challenging nature of several slightly different objects such as object detection, where the algorithm must be precise enough to identify, track and center an object from the others

The article provides a comparative analysis of the establishment and operation of the systems of defence procurement (acquisition) for the United States` Department of Defense (DoD of the USA) and the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defenсe (MoD of the UK) by analysis of regulatory frameworks and approaches managing of the defence procurement (acquisition) systems. With the help of the structural-functional method, a hierarchy of key participants of the defence procurement system (acquisition), their functional interconnections, roles and functions are identified. By using a systematic approach, it was determined that the establishment and operation of a public procurement (acquisition) system for the defence needs of the USA and the UK is a complex process that is significantly affected by financial and time constraints, strategic vision and priorities for the development of the industry. The main principles for the most efficient organization and operation of the procurement (acquisition) systems of the DoD of the USA and the MoD of the UK are: the application of a procedural framework, the definition of rules and models for the interaction of participants, transparency, the presence of competition, professional development, periodic assessment and verification.

Authors: Potetiuieva Maryna
Published: November 2019

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of the formation of the organizational and economic mechanism for assessing property objects of railway transport enterprises in modern conditions of development of the domestic economy. It is proposed to adhere to such basic principles when assessing the property of railway transport enterprises: utility, supply and demand, substitution, expectation, marginal contribution performance, most efficient use, additional effect, multiple approaches and diversity. The methodological approaches and property valuation methods used in the valuation of property of railway transport enterprises are analyzed in detail. It has been established that the organizational and economic mechanism for assessing property objects of railway transport in order to form the authorized capital of JSC “Ukrainian railways” includes a set of organizational and economic elements that generally provide a complete algorithm for the implementation of the organizational and economic mechanism for evaluating property objects of the joint stock company “Ukrainian railways” and consists of the following blocks: information support, organizational support and calculation and methodological support. The study of the organizational and economic mechanism for evaluating the property of railway transport enterprises from the perspective of an integrated approach allows us to present it as an integrated system, which is formed from a combination of interconnected elements. In addition, an algorithm for the implementation of the organizational and economic mechanism for assessing property objects with the aim of forming the authorized capital of the company is proposed.

Authors: Hayati Nur , Rianty Nof
Published: November 2019

From the amendment to this regulation, the thing that becomes the spotlight of taxpayers is by changing the final PPh rate from 1% to 0.5%, this policy aims to stimulate UMKM business and besides, the government also hopes that MSMEs can easily carry out their tax obligations and provide relief tax rates aimed at individual taxpayers and corporate taxpayers in the form of cooperatives, limited partnership, firms and limited liability companies that own and receive gross receipts do not exceed Rp. 4,800,000,000 in one year. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Tax Rates, Socialization and Understanding on the implementation of UMKM Taxpayer Compliance Post Government Regulation No. 23 of 2018 both partially and simultaneously.This type of research is causative research, with the population being MSME taxpayers registered as taxpayers in RokanHulu district as many as 135 UMKM taxpayers for micro scale. Data collection techniques using documentation and questionnaires.Data analysis techniques using multiple linear regression analysis, coefficient of determination and partial and simultaneous tests. The results of research for the tax rate partially affect the compliance of taxpayers with a significance of under 5%. This shows that whether or not the taxpayer adheres is influenced by the intention of the taxpayer himself in taking action to comply with tax obligations. Parsing socialization influences taxpayer compliance with significantly below 5%. This shows that the more socialization carried out by the tax authorities, the compliance of individual taxpayers will increase. Understanding has a partial effect on taxpayer compliance with significantly below 5%. This shows that increasing taxpayer knowledge provided by the government regarding Government Regulation No. 23 of 2018 to taxpayers, the understanding of taxes, especially taxes for UMKM will be even better

Published: November 2019

GGE biplot is an effective method based on principal component analysis to fully explore mega-environments trials data. The study conducted was to identify the best performing, high yielding stable advanced bread wheat genotype for selection environments, the identification of mega-environments and analysis of the ideal genotype and environment by GGE biplot method. Fifteen bread wheat genotypes were evaluated using RCBD with four replications at six locations in Ethiopia. The results of combined analysis of variance for grain yield of fifteen bread wheat genotypes indicated that genotype, environment and GEI were highly significant (P0.001). The factors explained showed bread wheat genotypes grain yield was affected by environment (35.28%), genotype (33.46%) and GEI (31.45%). The first two PC axes of GGE explained 88.7% of G+GEI and divided the six locations into three major groups: Group1 included Asasa, Kulumsa and Arsi Robe (moderately discriminating locations); Group2 had the highland wheat producing locations Holeta and Bekoji (most discriminating locations), while Group3 contain Dhera (least discriminating location), a moisture stress location in the rift valley. Locations within the same group were closely correlated and provided redundant information about the genotypes. Testing can be performed in any one of the locations within a group. Genotype ETBW8078 and ETBW8459 were more stable as well as low yielding. Considering simultaneously yield and stability, genotype ETBW9045 and Hiddase showed the best performances suggesting their adaptation to a wide range of environments. Lemu, ETBW8084 and ETBW8065 were considered as desirable. Genotype ETBW8075 was the least stable with low yield and had a large contribution to the GEI, having the longest distance from the average environment. ETBW9470 was specifically adapted to Group1 locations while ETBW8070 was adapted to Group2 environments. Based on yield performance advanced lines ETBW9470 and ETBW8070 are recommended to be included in variety verification trials for further release.

In this study, the fish consuming habits of the
university students of Narman Vocational School of Atatürk University in
Erzurum city were studied. The data was determined by face-to-face questions
asked to the 269 participants and then subjected to statistical analyses by
using Chi-square independence test. The data were commended by giving in the
form of tables. The results were handed by evaluating the answers given by the
participants about their monthly incomes, yearly fish consumption, fish
supplying way, fish prices, the kinds of consumed fish, fish cooking form and
the seasonal changing of fish consumption. According to results of the study,
while people aged less than 21 years consume 60% of their annual fish
consumption during the summer months, this rate was determined as 31.1% for
people aged between 21 and 30. It was understood that while 29.8% of the
participants whose incomes were lower than 300 Turkish Liras (TRY) consumed
fish once a month, this rate was 54.3% for the participants whose income levels
were more than 1200 TRY. While 41.7% of the participants whose income levels
were between 900-1200 TRY were cooking fish by frying method, for the other
participants whose income levels were more than 1200 TRY this rate was 62.9%.
