Authors: Santi Tahara Dilla , Candra Aditya
Published: December 2024

Indonesia is home to a diversity of herbal plants, particularly in Aceh. Moringa oleifera is traditional medicinal plant utilized by locals in the geothermal area Aceh Besar, recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties. However, the bioactive compounds in M. oleifera leaves sourced from Ie Seum have not been documented, making it challenging to explain the roles of the compounds scientifically to anti-inflammatory factors. This research aimed to identify the phytochemical compounds in the ethanol extract of M. oleifera leaves (referred to as EDM) and analyze the physicochemical characteristics of the soil in the geothermal area. This study used a qualitative design to identify EDM compounds with GC-MS and soil physicochemistry. The identification of EDM compounds is conducted through gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The physicochemical properties of the soil are assessed by examining its texture, pH, organic carbon content, total nitrogen, exchangeable cations, and phosphorus. Sample collection on  topsoil (0-20 cm) with an area of ​​100cmx100cm on one land where M. oleifera plants grow in Ie Seum area in September 2024. A soil sample of 500g was using several methods, namely the hydrometermethod, pH meter, Walkey and Black, ammonium acetate 1M pH 7, Kjeldahl, KCl 1N, Bray 1, HCl 25%, and DTPA extraction. The soil test result showed classified as silty clay. The results GC-MS indicated the presence 11 metabolites, including linolenic acid, phytol, 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid ethyl ester, hexadecanoic acid, neophytadiene, gamma-tocopherol, vitamin E, squalene, icosane, and beta-pinene. EDM from the Ie Seum contains compounds that are beneficial in anti-inflammatory.

Capitalist Accumulation through Digital Platforms: From Click-Farms to Dispossession of the Digital Commons
Authors: Soares Seto Kenzo
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes several theoretical perspectives from the political economy of communication on the contribution of the activities of users and workers on digital platforms to capitalist accumulation. To this end, it addresses the transformation of crowd sourcing platforms into click farms and the commercial production of disinformation as opposed to the activity of ordinary users of social platforms. In this context, it proposes replacing the search for a particular update of the theory of digital labor and digital surplus value with an understanding of the Internet as a field in which different strategies of accumulation compete, linking the subsumption of intellectual labor to processes of accumulation through the dispossession of the general intellect. Finally, it points to the perspective of an algorithmic prince as a fundamental political condition for the maintenance and expansion of capitalist accumulation through digital platforms.
Towards a Self-Reliant India: Closing the Saving Investment Gap
Authors: Agrawal Dr. Abha
Published: December 2024

For a developing country such as India, where the growth potential is high and the scope for poverty reduction is also significant; a policy that lifts the poor out of poverty by expanding the overall pie is preferable because redistribution is only feasible if the size of the economic pie grows rapidly. Therefore, achieving economic growth requires the government to adopt different types of policies such as promoting savings, stimulating investment, and increasing internal production (Rasmidatta, 2011).
Present piece of the study is an endeavor to find out the volume of gap between savings– investments in India and ways to reduce it up to zero size so that not only the burden of interest payment could be done away with, simultaneously growth process can be made sustainable in the long -run without sacrificing our sovereignty to external world. In a nutshell, growth process must be inner-engineered as the growth of individual. Decoupling or complete detachment from external world is essential for lasting happiness (Bhagwad Geeta) or welfare both for the individual and the economy.
Material Adaptation in the Classroom and the useof Typhlotechnology as Teachers of Students with Visual Impairment: Students’ Perspective
Authors: Guadalupe Patricia Noriega Perez
Published: December 2024

Technologies have been a fundamental part of education for several decades since, through their use, all students can access information more easily and remotely. However, it is not until recent years that it has been latently noticed how the attention of educators and researchers has been redirected towards students with visual mpairment or other special needs in an attempt to promote their inclusion in oday's classrooms. It should be noted that the adaptation of material in the classroom and the use of typhlotechnology as teachers of students with visual impairment has not been studied much from the perspective of the students; hence the objective of this study. The data analysis was collected through the use of interviews that provided first-hand information from students with visual impairment in relation to the knowledge that their teachers have -or not- about typhlo technology and the adaptation of materials to cover their curriculum. The data analysis was carried out with the coding of four students' responses and with the identification of topics based on the research questions. Consequently, the study indicates that students with visual impairment consider it important that their teachers are aware of the technologies used by the aforementioned to adapt the materials depending on their educational needs.
Artificial Intelligence and Humans: Assessing the Effects on Privacy and Freedom
Authors: Joseph Binu
Published: December 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary area that integrates elements from several domains. Sometimes, it is also called deep learning or machine learning. And it can simply be referred to as making machines capable of thinking like humans and acting like humans. The process of AI involves developing specific algorithms in order to solve complex tasks that are difficult for humans. With the advancement of innovative technologies, the role of machines has become an inevitable factor in almost all fields of human life. AI has emerged as a super-intelligent mechanism that can solve many issues and find solutions suddenly and promptly. However, such an application of AI has also created numerous challenges against human rights. The greatest threat posed by the use of AI is the infringement of individual freedom and privacy. AI has now enabled the management of many human activities, and this management has led to excessive control of machines over human affairs. AI can gain access to individuals’ personal lives without their consent. Data protection is another challenge of AI, as it can violate individuals’ privacy and freedom. The detractors of AI argue that it has no respect for individuals’ emotions and social values because most of the AI is generated through such algorithms. This paper discusses how AI impacts human activities by compromising individuals’ privacy and freedom. Similarly, it discusses AI regulatory mechanisms that have been taken at national and global levels. Furthermore, it provides key recommendations in order to regulate the excess interference of AI technology over human affairs.
Capillaroscopic changes in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon and occupational diseases
Authors: Doncheva – Dilova Jaklin , Stoilov Nikolay , Lambova Sevdalina , Boyadzhieva Vladimira
Published: December 2024

Capillaroscopy is a non-invasive method of leading importance for the early diagnosis of progressive systemic sclerosis and other systemic rheumatic diseases with manifestations of Raynaud's phenomenon. Capillaroscopic changes in patients with occupational diseases are still scarce and poorly defined. Of interest is vibration disease, in which small blood vessels are affected with the appearance of "occupationally induced Raynaud's phenomenon". Most studies reported dystonias with observation of spastic capillaries, dilated capillaries, aneurysmal dilations, pericapillary edema, hemorrhages, avascular areas. An important consideration for rheumatology practice is that scleroderma is not observed in these patients - a similar type of microangiopathy characteristic of rheumatic diseases, which in the early stages is defined by the presence of giant capillaries with a diameter of a capillary arm over 50 µm. At present, there is no standardization for the changes in microcirculation that develop as a result of the risk factors of the work environment, which is probably related to the variability of the findings given the different duration and intensity of exposure, as well as to the possible impact of a combination of occupational risk factors.
The translational epistemologies of World Literature
Authors: Forsdick Charles
Published: December 2024

Translation has regularly been deployed as a defining aspect of World Literature. This is notably the case in the work of David Damrosch, who claims in a number of studies that it is circulation between contexts in different languages that underpins the ‘gains’ of any work falling into the category. This article explores, expands, and ultimately challenges such readings by focusing, in addition, on the production and consumption of World Literature, suggesting not only that translation may form, in such contexts and in the light of such understandings, a key trope or lens through which writing associated with this category may be identified and explored, but also that World Literature, conceived in such circulatory and relational terms, potentially allows us to analyze the presence and function of a translational epistemology in this body of writing. As such, the argument seeks to move beyond translation as methodology to propose the presence of a set of translational epistemologies, contributing thus to the growing emphasis on linguistic sensitivity and global relationality in the construction of knowledge, as illuminated notably by Barbara Cassin’s philosophical interventions around the notion of the (in)traduisible and Edouard Glissant’s reflections on translation in the Tout-Monde.A synopsis of this article can be found here.
Search for New Physics in the Effective Field Theory approach using Machine Learning techniques
Authors: Dimitra Amperiadou , Konstantinos Bachas , Chariclia Petridou , Eirini Kasimi
Published: December 2024

The simultaneous production of W± and Z bosons through the Vector Boson Scattering (VBS)
process has been studied by the ATLAS and CMS experiments with the full Run 2 data and an integrated luminosity
of 140 fb-1 at a center-of-mass 13 TeV. This process can provide the foreground for searches beyond the Standard
Model (BSM) through deviations from the predicted vector boson self-couplings. The way to search for such
deviations is through an Effective Field Theory (EFT) where higher order operators, dimension-6 and dimension8 are considered. Apart from the traditional methods based on observing deviations from the SM in the total cross
section and kinematical distributions, there have already been efforts to study dimension-8 operators using stateof-the-art Machine Learning models where base learners are combined in an ensemble model. As an extension of
this previous study, additional models are being trained and used in this paper, in order to identify pure W±Zjj
signal events with the effect of EFT operators, from W±Zjj background events originating from strong (QCD) or
electroweak (EWK) W±Zjj processes. Specifically, the Naive Bayes, the Decision Tree and the Random Forest
network architectures are being investigated individually in order to study dimension-8 operators by extracting
the 95 % Confidence Limits (CL) for their Wilson coefficients.
Cómo enseñar la morfología desde el paisaje lingüístico comercial: Los nombres de las tiendas
Authors: Galloso Camacho María Victoria
Published: December 2024

Aunque el paisaje lingüístico se ha usado como fuente de conocimiento para la enseñanza de la lengua, esta orientación se sigue manteniendo prácticamente inexplorada. El objetivo de esta propuesta es introducir el concepto de paisaje lingüístico (PL), realizar un repaso de la morfología y su aplicación didáctica y plantear propuestas para demostrar que la inserción del PL puede ser una nueva dinámica para la enseñanza de la morfología del español en las aulas. Lametodología utilizada para la investigación consiste en la creación de un corpus, del que se parte, captado a partir de fotografías de distintos pueblos y barrios de la provincia de Huelva. Una vez recogido, se ha agrupado según los procesos morfológicos seguidos para la configuración de dichos rótulos y, a continuación, se ha creado una propuesta didáctica para la enseñanza de la morfología de estos enunciados en las clases de lengua. Se concluye demostrando la necesidad de actualizar las metodologías pedagógicas en el ámbito de la morfología léxica, sobre todo en la Educación Secundaria. Este afán de superación se instala dentro de un supuesto que se intenta construir: el aprendizaje de los contenidos gramaticales debe realizarse siempre dentro de la lengua real y en contexto. La inclusión del PL en la enseñanza debe ser una nueva dinámica para la clase, ya que consigue fortalecer el estudio de la lengua y contribuye a formar el aprendizaje incidental fuera del aula, especialmente pone el foco en el contenido de lo que se enseña de manera que resulta más ameno y eficaz el proceso de enseñanza/aprendizaje de este contenido gramatical llevado de la calle a las aulas.
Las comparaciones no siempre son odiosas: Empleo del contraste entre refranes para el desarrollo de la competencia intercultural en el aprendizaje de lenguas
Authors: Mariscal Ríos Alicia
Published: December 2024

La fraseología, en general, y la paremiología, en particular –entendida esta última como el “tratado de refranes” (RAE 2014)– suelen estar ausentes en los manuales de ELE, a pesar de la riqueza lingüística y cultural que conlleva su aprendizaje. En el ámbito de la lingüística aplicada a la enseñanza de lenguas, las actividades de traducción y de corte contrastivo entre las unidades fraseológicas de las lenguas fuente y meta favorecen, además de las capacidades analíticasde los/las aprendices para las comparaciones entre idiomas, el desarrollo de su competencia intercultural.Este trabajo representa una experiencia práctica con el estudiantado del Northwest Cádiz Program (https://spanport.washington.edu/study-abroad/northwest-cadiz-program), un programa de inmersión lingüística y cultural de alumnos/as de la Universidad de Washington para el aprendizaje de ELE en Cádiz.El trabajo se halla en la línea de Mariscal Ríos (2020a), en el que se describían las actividades realizadas en la asignatura Spanish Language 303 (“Lengua III”). En este caso, el grupo estaba formado por 20 estudiantes que cursaban Spanish Language 302 (“Lengua II”), es decir, alumnado con un nivel intermedio de español, equivalente al B1 del Plan Curricular del Instituto Cervantes (Centro Virtual Cervantes).A través de una metodología activa, basada en los aprendizajes significativos y autónomos, el alumnado llevó a cabo un análisis contrastivo multilingüe de refranes de animales, empleando para ello datos tomados del Refranero Multilingüe del Instituto Cervantes (Sevilla Muñoz y Zurdo Ruiz-Ayúcar 2009), además de otras actividades que potenciasen un desarrollo simultáneo de sus competencias comunicativa e intercultural.Los resultados fueron bastante positivos tanto para el aprendizaje de la gramática del español, en general, como para el desarrollo de su conciencia intercultural, mostrándose muy motivados/as por conocer las coincidencias y diferencias entre los refranes de su propia lengua/cultura y los de la lengua/cultura meta.

Se aúnan de manera homogénea y sistemática la experiencia profesional y académica: el mundo laboral y el ámbito universitario se imbrican en una relación didáctica para una mejor calidad.
Revolución poética en la transición de infantil a primaria: un acercamiento a las propuestas de Kenneth Koch
Authors: Aboal López María
Published: December 2024

Es posible enseñar a los/las niños/as a crear poesía y a disfrutar con ella, tal y como defendió y demostró el poeta y profesor norteamericano Kenneth Koch (1970). En estas páginas se ofrece un acercamiento a su experiencia en las aulas, para poder así aplicar sus ideas sobre la creación poética en las primeras etapas educativas a través de una auténtica experimentación con el lenguaje. Si bien es habitual la introducción de la literatura en infantil y primaria, esta suele basarse principalmente en los cuentos, dejando casi siempre de lado un género literario tan potente como lo es la poesía, con el que fácilmente se identifican los/las niños/as por su alta carga emocional y sus infinitas posibilidades creativas. El objetivo principal de este artículo es difundir la metodología de Koch entre quienes enseñan infantil y primaria, toda una revolución poética en las aulas con la que introducir al alumnado de estas etapas en la magia de la lectura y la escritura.

THE SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH ANTHROPONYMIC COMPONENTS IN THE ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Authors: GOYIBOV Umarjon
Published: December 2024

Phraseological units are an assemblage of two or more word constituents with a unique and often figurative meaning, including as patient as Job, a silver lining, crooked as a corkscrew in English, and Har kim oʻz aybini bilsa Vali boʻladi, boʻzchining mokisidek, teshik munchoq yerda qolmas in Uzbek. There is a growing trend among scientists in the study of phraseological units with certain subtypes of onomastic components from the viewpoint of modern approaches, such as cognitive and linguocultural perspectives.
Phraseological units with onomastic components are regarded as precise manifestations of the cultural background of a certain nation. They are directly connected with human knowledge about history, literature, culture, religion, folklore, legends, and geography, which all constitute the encyclopedic wealth of the language. With regard to human’s encyclopaedic data, the onomastic component of phraseological units manifests a distinct comprehensive cultural, historical, literary, political, social, and religious information related to such components. The article aims to analyse phraseological units with an anthroponymic component as one of the onomastic constituents from the semantic viewpoint in which they are based on the meaning construction and the encyclopaedic information about anthroponyms participated in such units. It has been defined that the motivation of the semantics of phraseological units with its anthroponymic component in non-related languages, especially English and Uzbek, has not been studied sufficiently. The article discusses the semantic peculiarities of anthroponymic components in the system of phraseological units in compared languages. The conclusion is that the meaning of phraseological units with anthroponymic components is associated with anthroponyms' personalities, activities, physical and psychological conditions, and their influence on other objective phenomena.
CONTEMPORARY MANIFESTATIONS OF PR IMPACT IN SPECIALISED ONLINE PUBLICATIONS
Authors: ALIEVA Shahnoza
Published: December 2024

Due to the growing importance of democratic forms of public administration by achieving "public consensus" among the main groups of the population in the leading spheres of public life, the use of PR technologies,primarily the media as a means of managing public consciousness, is becoming relevant. The PR sphere is rapidly evolving and improving, its approaches to influencing consumers are being transformed, and the forms and genres of PR materials are being modernized. These changes are especially noticeable in the periodical press, particularly its specialized segment. In the competitive struggle with electronic media, specialized print media constantly search for strategies and tactics to influence the audience effectively. The article is devoted to considering modern manifestations of PR influence in the specialized press. Using the example of foreign and Uzbek specialized online publications, the methods and techniques used by the public relations industry to influence people to promote certain ideas and brands on the market, and to manipulate their behavior to to various kinds of medical problems are analyzed. The author uses specific examples of electronic publications to analyze the advantages the Internet provides PR professionals for attracting readers to their content, activating feedback, and implementing their intentions more quickly and productively. Particular attention is paid to the recently widespread PR influence technologies such as “advice from a regular reader,” “reliance on authority,” consulting techniques, etc. The increasing importance of using hyperlinks as a result of thoughtful collaboration e aspects of the problems that public relations specialists face in practice have not been thoroughly developed, the lack of scientifically based methodologies, ignorance of PR ethical standards, and their non-observance negatively affect the level of professionalism of public relations specialists, and also create the basis for an increase in custom-made and low-quality PR materials. The study puts forward proposals for optimizing PR impact in the specialized press and determines the vector of its further development.
Scottish Law Students at German Universities in the Nineteenth Century

Published: December 2024

In an important article published in 1994, Alan Rodger drew attention to the number of Scottish advocates – 55 by his count – who had studied at German universities in the 19th century, and sought to situate this finding by reference to a Faculty of Advocates in which ‘polite learning’ was a characteristic and valued attribute. Some of the more prominent of the advocates were named and their careers briefly examined. As to how they had been identified, Rodger said only this: ‘While I cannot claim to have researched the matter systematically, I have examined biographical notices and other material about advocates, keeping my eye open for references to periods spent at German universities.’

Authors: A Pramathesh , KR Shishir , N Masuti Siddesh
Published: December 2024

Background: Ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block is an effective technique for upper limb surgeries, offering anaesthesia and
postoperative analgesia.The addition of adjuvants like dexmedetomidine and fentanyl to local anaesthetics such as ropivacaine can improve the
quality of these blocks. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as adjuvants to 0.5% ropivacaine.
Objective: To evaluate and compare the onset and duration of sensory and motor blocks, intraoperative hemodynamic changes, and adverse effects
between dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as adjuvants in ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks. A randomized, Methods:
controlled study was conducted with 32 patients undergoing elective upper limb surgeries. Patients were divided into two groups: Group D (n=16)
received 1 µg/kg dexmedetomidine with 30 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine, and Group F (n=16) received 1 µg/kg fentanyl with 30 mL of 0.5%
ropivacaine. The onset and duration of sensory and motor blocks, hemodynamic parameters and adverse effects were recorded and analysed.
Results: Group D had a significantly faster onset of sensory (12.5 ± 2.3 mins) and motor blocks (15.0 ± 2.5 mins) compared to Group F (15.2 ± 3.1
and 18.0 ± 3.0 mins, respectively). Sensory (810.5 ± 50.3 mins) and motor block durations (780.0 ± 48.0 mins) were longer in Group D than in
Group F (650.4 ± 45.8 and 620.0 ± 42.0 mins). Both groups showed stable hemodynamic profiles, though transient bradycardia was more frequent
in Group D. Adverse effects, including hypotension and nausea, were minimal and comparable between groups. Dexmedetomidine as Conclusion:
an adjuvant to ropivacaine provides a faster onset and significantly longer duration of sensory and motor blocks compared to fentanyl in
infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks. Both drugs showed minimal adverse effects, with dexmedetomidine proving to be a more effective option
for regional anaesthesia.

A COMPARATIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF DEXMEDETOMIDINE-KETAMINE VERSUS FENTANYL-MIDAZOLAM COMBINATION FOR POSTOPERATIVE SEDATION IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING ELECTIVE OFF PUMP CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY
Authors: Kumar Menon Shreejith , Tanthry S Gururaj
Published: December 2024

Background: Dexmedetomidine and ketamine are anesthetic agents which are frequently used for sedation and analgesia in intensive care units
after procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study compared the efficacy of dexmedetomidine-ketamine (DK)
combination versus fentanyl-midazolam (FM) combination for sedation after off-pump CABG surgery. Methods: Forty two patients undergoing
elective off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass graft were divided into two separate groups - DK group received dexmedetomidine 0.3 mcg/kg +
ketamine 0.25 mg/kg IV bolus followed by infusions for 1 hour, while FM group received fentanyl 1 mcg/kg/hr + midazolam 0.02 mg/kg/hr
infusions for 1 hour postoperatively. The primary outcomes were time to extubation, time of weaning, duration of ICU stay and hemodynamic
changes. Secondary outcome was depth of sedation and was compared between groups. Results: The mean time to extubation was significantly
shorter in the DK group (283.3± 16.53) compared to FM group (296.0± 22.45), P=0.0451. Time to weaning in DK group (222.9± 15.86) was lower
than FM group (234.5± 27.38) however, the findings did not demonstrate statistical significance. (P=0.1008) and the length of ICU stay were
similar (44.67± 2.106) in FM group as compared to (43.71± 1.454) in DK group (P=0.0968). Heart rate and mean arterial pressure were observed to
be lower in the DK group at most time points by 5-10%. Ramsay sedation scores were comparable and adequate in the two groups. Conclusion:
Dexmedetomidine-ketamine provided faster extubation compared to fentanyl-midazolam for sedation after CABG surgery, with favorable
hemodynamic effects but similar sedation quality and ICU course. The combination may be a viable alternative for post-operative sedation.

rectum is known as the haemorrhoids . Affecting around 4.4% of the global population, haemorrhoids can be both internal or external presenting as
a swelling with irritation or/and bleeding. Risk factors include prolonged constipation, pregnancy, and age. While many cases respond to
conservative treatments, some require surgical intervention. Traditional methods can lead to complications, whereas minimally invasive
techniques like laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) provide effective relief with less postoperative pain. Objectives: To study early complications
including pain and bleeding at 3rd day, 15th day, and 1 month, along with the late complications including recurrence and recovery at 6 months.
Materials And Methods: This hospital-based prospective comparative study was conducted with 60 patients who underwent minimal invasive
laser haemorrhoidoplasty (Group A) and conventional excisional haemorrhoidectomy (Group B) in the Department of general Surgery, LLR and
associated hospitals, GSVM MEDICALCOLLEGE, KANPUR U.Pover 18 months from January 2023 to June 2024, after obtaining consent from
the patients. Results: The study included 60 patients divided equally into Group A (LHP) and Group B (CH). Group A had significantly shorter
surgery duration (19.40 vs. 35.23 minutes) and lower intra-operative blood loss. Postoperative pain, measured by the VAS score, was significantly
lower in Group Aon all assessed days. Group Apatients had earlier bowel movements, shorter hospital stays (1 vs. 1.7 days), and quicker return to
normal activities. Recurrence rates were low, with no significant difference between groups. Conclusion: LHP is preferable to CH for treating
grade II/III haemorrhoids due to reduced postoperative discomfort and shorter recovery times. In this study, Laser haemorrhoidoplasty has been
proved to be more effective in terms of early and late complications at 6 months of follow up in comparison with conventional excisional
haemorrhoidectomy

Introduction: Comparative study between tens along with pendulum exercises Vs us along with pendulum exercises in treating frozen shoulder.
The term 'frozen shoulder' is often used injudiciously for any painful condition of the shoulder joint. Frozen shoulder is a clinical syndrome with
painful restriction of both active and passive shoulder movements. The condition is aggravated by systemic problem like diabetes mellitus,
cardiovascular disease and reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Methodology: This study includes 60 patient suffering from frozen shoulder and devide
into two groups i.e ; Treatment given by TENS + Pendulum exercise (Group A) and treatment given by US + pendulum exercise (Group B). All the
subjects were attended individually. Results: Result of this study shown that there is significant difference within group results and subjects treated
with TENS along with pendulum exercise showed slightly more improvement as compared to the US along with pendulum exercise. Conclusion:
The study concluded that the subjects treated with TENS along with pendulum exercise showed an additional benefit as compared to the US along
with pendulum exercise.

Acute supra-systemic pulmonary hypertension (PH) in infants is a rare but life-threatening condition that can lead to right heart failure if untreated.
This case report describes a 2-month-old male infant admitted with severe respiratory distress, tachycardia, and tachypnea. Born at term and
exclusively breastfed, he exhibited cardiomegaly and significant PH, indicated by echocardiography. Investigation revealed the mother's
inadequate diet, consisting mainly of polished white rice, resulting in thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency in both mother and infant. The infant
received thiamine supplementation and sildenafil, leading to a rapid reduction in pulmonary pressures within a week and complete recovery by the
six-month follow-up. Thiamine deficiency, while uncommon, can cause severe cardiovascular complications, especially in populations with poor
maternal nutrition. As thiamine is essential for carbohydrate metabolism and myocardial energy production, its deficiency can deplete myocardial
energy and precipitate high-output heart failure and severe PH. This case, alongside reports of other infants with PH and right heart failure linked to
thiamine deficiency, underscores the need for clinicians to consider nutritional deficiencies as reversible causes of infantile PH. Early diagnosis and
intervention are crucial in managing infants with severe pulmonary hypertension, particularly in low-income families facing nutritional
inadequacies.
A STUDY OF URINARY BETA 2 MICROGLOBULIN AS A NOVEL KIDNEY BIOMARKER TO PREDICT THE RISK OF PROGRESSION TO CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE FOLLOWING SNAKE BITE INDUCED ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Urine β2 microglobulin (β2m) is a validated marker to diagnose sepsis and toxin-related acute kidney injury (AKI). In our study, we
used urinary β2m as a potential marker to identify persistent tubular dysfunction leading to chronic kidney disease following clinical recovery from
snake bite induced AKI Methods:Atotal of 42 patients who developed AKI following hemotoxic envenomation were followed up for a period of 6
months. Urine albumin excretion, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and urine β2m levels were measured at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6
months following discharge. Results:At the end of 6 months of follow-up, 6 patients (14.3 %) progressed to chronic kidney disease (CKD) (eGFR
< 60 ml and/or urine albumin excretion > 30 mg/d). The urine β2m levels were 1590 μg/l (interquartile range [IQR] 425–5260), 610 μg/l (IQR
210–1850), 850 μg/l (IQR 270–2780) at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months, respectively (P= 0.020). The levels of urine β2m in the study population
at the end of 6 months remained significantly higher compared with the levels in healthy control population (850 μg/l [IQR 270–2780] vs. 210 μg/l
[IQR 150–480]; P= 0.001). Similar trends were noticed in a sensitivity analysis, after excluding patients with CKD. Conclusion: Urine β2m levels
remain persistently elevated in approximately half of the individuals who recover from AKI due to snake envenomation.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF A FISTULECTOMY AND A FISTULOTOMY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF LOW ANAL FISTULA
Authors: Rani Neha , Katlana Amit , Tiwari Galav
Published: December 2024

Background: An anal fistula is an abnormal connection between the anal canal and perianal tissue, often resulting from an infected anal crypt. In
terms of surgical management, there remains ongoing debate about whether fistulectomy is preferable to fistulotomy for treating low-lying simple
anal fistulas. This study aims to compare the efficacy of fistulotomy and fistulectomy in the management of low anal fistulas at a tertiary care center
in Central India. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 60 patients aged over 18 years with clinically diagnosed simple low anal
fistulas. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I underwent fistulectomy, and Group II underwent fistulotomy. Demographic data, operative
time, postoperative pain (measured using a Visual Analog Scale), complications, and follow-up assessments were recorded. Results: The mean age
of participants was 38.54 ± 10.50 years, with no significant differences in demographic characteristics between groups. The fistulotomy group
demonstrated significantly shorter operative time (15.15 ± 2.09 minutes vs. 26.12 ± 3.26 minutes, p < 0.001), reduced hospital stay (1.78 ± 0.62
days vs. 2.58 ± 0.54 days, p < 0.001), and faster wound healing (23.11 ± 2.85 days vs. 30.40 ± 4.14 days, p < 0.001). Pain levels were consistently
lower in the fistulotomy group at all follow-ups (p < 0.001). Complications such as urinary retention and wound infection were not significantly
different between groups. No cases of recurrence were observed. Conclusion: Fistulotomy is a superior treatment option for low anal fistulas
compared to fistulectomy, offering shorter surgical duration, faster recovery, and fewer complications while maintaining similar recurrence rates.

The objective of this study was to characterize the blaCTX-M gene in enterobacteria in wastewater from the Port-Bouët municipal slaughterhouse. For this purpose, 72 wastewater samples were collected. Bacteriological counts were carried out on VRBG medium supplemented with 2 mg/L ceftazidime. Germs were isolated and identified on UTI agar. Sensitivity tests were carried out with beta-lactam antibiotics (AMC, CAZ and IPM), fluoroquinolones (NA and CIP) and aminoglycosides (GM and AN). Enumerations showed high loads of resistant Enterobacteriaceae, ranging from 5.2 to 5.9 Log UFC/100mL. A total of 60 resistant strains of enterobacteria were isolated, including Escherichia coli (60%), Proteus vulgaris (21.67%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (8.33%), Enterobacter spp (6.67%) and Proteus mirabilis (3.33%). Sensitivity tests revealed 100% resistance in enterobacteria species to amoxicillin + clavulanic acid and ceftazidime. Proteus vulgaris species showed high resistance to nalidixic acid (69.2%) and amikacin (46.1%). A search for the blaCTX-M resistance gene revealed that 46.1%, 55.6% and 50% of E. coli, Proteus vulgaris and Enterobacter spp species respectively carried this gene in their genomic DNA. The presence of resistant enterobacteria containing the blaCTX-M resistance gene isolated from wastewater at the Port-Bouët municipal slaughterhouse represents a threat to public health.
