To know the incidence and treatment outcome of various ocular manifestations of allergic fungal pan sinusitis.

A prospective study was conducted in a medical college hospital in south India for a period of 2 years which included all the cases of allergic fungal pansinusitis presented to the hospital. The cases were diagnosed by Bent-Kuhn criteria. The cases with ophthalmologic involvement were included in the study. CT scan of PNS, brain, orbit were done and the disease extent was noted. Cases with eye involvement were planned for surgical debridement after an initial prednisolone oral 1mg/kg over 2 weeks. Surgical debridement was done endoscopically by a team of ENT surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon and neurosurgeon. Histopathologic examination was done. Post-surgery the steroids were tapered over 2 weeks. Post operative follow up was done every day for first week followed by weekly once till a month and every 6 monthly once for a year in the form of clinical examination, CT scan was repeated after a week during post op period. In cases with suspected recurrence CT PNS was performed. Their outcomes were analyzed.

6 cases (33%) had ocular involvement. Proptosis was the most common (28%) finding followed by epiphora (22.2%), ophthalmoparesis (22.2%), diplopia (22.2%), ophthalmoplegia (11.%), complete loss of vision (5%). Surgical intervention led to early recovery in proptosis followed by others except with PL -ve case.

Early treatment in AFPS prevents vision loss and has better outcomes.

Study of comparison of postoperative astigmatism in small incision cataract surgery depending on size and shape of incision

A prospective study of 50 eyes of 50 patients who underwent manual SICS under local anaesthesia between December 2020 and May 2021 conducted by single surgeon and followed up on post op day 1 day 7 and 6 weeks. Patients selected were having grade 1 to 2 nuclear sclerosis the size and shape of incision was decided depending upon the grade of cataract. On follow ups thorough ocular examination was done especially looking for corrected visual acuity and correction needed for that. Keratometry was done in each follow up visits. At the end surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) was calculated.

Surgically Induced Astigmatism (SIA) calculated by SIA calculator SIA was 0.5 - 1 D in 38 patients with frown incision of 4 to 5mm,1.0 - 1.5 D in 10 patients with frown incision size of 5 to 6mm 2D in patients with straight incision size of 6mm and more In all cases.

The less average SIA was noted in group with smaller incision of about 4 to 5mm. Frown superior incision has got added advantage of early wound stabilization than straight incision. It is possible to reduce the amount of post-operative astigmatism significantly by choosing the incision shape and size.

Most commonly performed surgical procedure in Ophthalmology is cataract extraction by MSICS and Phacoemulsification. It has always been associated with damage to endothelium of cornea, a layer which is vital for maintaining corneal transparency. The corneal endothelium regulates stromal hydration and maintains the transparency of the cornea by constantly removing the fluid out of the corneal stroma. The density of corneal endothelial cells and its integrity is an important determinant for corneal transparency. Post-operative corneal decompensation leading to reduced visual acuity can occur as a result of this surgical trauma. Hence it is necessary to determine the surgical technique safest to corneal endothelium. Specular microscopy helps to determine this corneal endothelial cell density.

A hospital based longitudinal study was done from November 2017 to May 2019 in 124 patients at Minto Ophthalmic Hospital. 62 patients underwent MSICS and 62 phacoemulsification. After a written informed consent patients were evaluated with detailed history, slit lamp examination, direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy, biometry, lacrimal syringing, IOP measurement with tonometry and endothelial cell count was evaluated using non contact specular microscopy preoperatively and postoperative 1 week and 6 weeks. Statistical data analysed by unpaired – t test.

The mean ECC (cells/mm) in MSICS and phacoemulsification group preoperatively was 2486.82 + 152.730 and 2433.71 + 192.692 respectively. The mean endothelial cell loss (cells/mm) was 314.61 + 64.428 and 324.31 + 30.67 at 1 week and 345.71 + 66.68 and 354.95 + 53.885 at 6 weeks postoperatively between the two groups. The endothelial cell loss was not statistically significant at 1 week (p -0.28) and 6 weeks (p-0.39) postoperatively between the two groups.

There was no clinically or statistically significant difference in the endothelial cell loss between MSICS and Phacoemulsification. As MSICS is economical and less dependent on technology, it can be a safe option in developing world.

Published: February 2022

Kissing nevus or divided nevus is a rare form of congenital nevus that usually occurs on adjacent parts of the upper and lower eyelids of one eye. Most often, the formation is present since birth, but it may also appear later during the course of life. We are reporting a case of kissing nevus of eyelids in 27 year old female present since birth and treated by microdissection radiofrequency ablation (MRA) over a period of 4 months in 2 sittings and patient was followed up regularly on OPD basis. It showed good cosmetic results without any structural and functional impairment. With the advantage of simplicity, precision and effectiveness, radiofrequency ablation can be used to treat kissing nevus with good cosmetic results and skin grafting can be avoided.

A high-temperature solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell using H3PO4-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) as proton-exchange membrane has been developed and tested. The influences of temperature (in a range between 130 and 170 °C), pressure (in a range between 1 and 3 bars) and air flow rate onto fuel cell performances have been studied. A maximum output power density of 200 mW·cm−2 has been obtained. The existence of an optimum air flow rate (expressed in oxygen stoichiometric ratio) has been put into evidence. It allows an increase of the fuel cell voltage from 250 mV up to ca. 400 mV at 0.4 A·cm−2. The results of the calculation of efficiency of PBI-based electrochemical power plant using the products of natural gas conversion as a fuel are presented.

The thermal model of the power plant based on the solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) fed with methane is developed. The power plant includes three heat-generating zones: a fuel-cell stack, a reactor of partial oxidation (RPO), and an afterburner. It is shown that temperature distribution along the battery depends on three factors: a methane consumption, a methane to air relation in the flow fed to the RPO, and a battery current. Results of modeling well correlate with the experimental data received on the power plant prototype with the SOFC stack consisted on 16 tubular cells.

Published: February 2022

The process of formation of a passivating sulphatic film on electrodes made of lead-tin alloys was studied by voltammetry. This process was established to proceed under diffusive control and to be limited to mass transfer in the anode film. At anodic dissolution of lead-tin alloys, there proceeds active dissolution of tin which collects inside the anode film and passes to solution. Owing to the formation of a more porous sulphatic film on the surface of a tin-containing alloy, the constant of diffusive process increases.

Published: February 2022

Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) must spare four hours a day, three days a week, irrespective of the patient’s schedule. Thus, it is common for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients to be depressed, and with the progression of CKD, their overall quality of life (QOL) could decrease. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between depression and QOL among patients undergoing hemodialysis in Indonesia. This cross-sectional research was conducted at a West Java Province, Indonesia, public health center, from August to December 2020. The inclusion criteria of participants were over the age of 20 and having been undergoing HD for at least six months. Depression was evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and QOL was measured using The Kidney Disease and Life Quality-SFTM v1.3 Survey (The KDQOL-SFTM v1.3). Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between depression and QOL. There were 190 respondents out of 225 (response rate: 84.4%), including 100 patients with CKD stages 1-3 (response rate: 75.6%). No correlation was found between demographic characteristics and QOL in HD patients (p > 0.05). The Indonesian KDQOL-SFTM v1.3 was associated with the BDI-II, and r ranged from 00.354 to 0.486. In order to increase QOL, it is recommended that depression is treated with routine follow-up in a collaborative care approach because intensive treatment is not normally reproduced in real-world practices.

95% of stroke attacks happen in the community. Families, therefore, become the first responders for giving early care to patients when they have a stroke attack. This care can be very influential for stroke patients. This study aimed to explore the kinds of early handling of stroke patients given by families at home. This was a qualitative study with a phenomenology design, and there were six key informants (families which gave early care after strokes) recruited in this study. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions from November 30, 2019 to March 18, 2020. Data were analyzed by content analysis including through matrix, typology, and thematic analysis. Three themes and three stages of early handling of stroke in homes were identified in this study. The early handlings of stroke included medical handling, traditional handling, and combination handling. The early handling stages were stroke symptoms detection, contacting the medical or non-medical staff, and taking patients to the public health facility. The family had enough knowledge about the early handling of stroke. Families should be aware of stroke symptoms so that they can determine the right decision for patients, to reduce the risk of disability and mortality.

Cardiac arrest is the leading cause of medical emergency of the cardiovascular system. The most effective management is immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The most influential factor for whether CPR is successful is the level of knowledge. An Android application can be an effective way to enhance knowledge related to CPR. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of the Edu-RJP application on the knowledge related to CPR in the nursing students of STIKES Panakkukang Makassar. The study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group. The participants were selected by using purposive sampling and the 40 respondents were divided into the experimental and control groups. The research instruments used were the Edu-RJP application, leaflets and questionnaires. CPR knowledge was compared before vs. after the nursing students used the Edu-RJP application or leaflets by independent t test. The analysis showed that the Edu-RJP application had a significantly larger effect on the knowledge of CPR, compared to the leaflets. Thus, it seems that the more sophisticated the technology of learning media, the more influential it is in enhancing the knowledge of the nursing students.

Published: February 2022

Hypertension is a condition caused by disruption in the bloodstream which can make it more difficult for oxygen and food substances (nutrients) from the blood to be delivered to the tissues in need. Hypertension is also known as a silent disease, which can lead to more dangerous and life-threatening complications. As a chronic condition, hypertension requires proper treatment not only pharmacologically but non-pharmacologically. One alternative in improving the circulatory system in the body is brisk walking exercise. The aim of this literature review was to find out the effect of brisk walking on blood pressure in hypertension patients. 10 articles were included, which were found from searching through three databases, namely Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct, for experimental studies published from 2017 to 2020. According to the results, brisk walking can control blood pressure from an average of 150 and diastolic measurements of 100 mmHg to an average of 140 and 80 mmHg, respectively, with significant average values from the 10 articles. Brisk walking can reduce blood pressure in hypertension patients when carried out three times a week in the morning, with a duration of 30-45 minutes, for at least three months (regularly).

Published: February 2022

Indonesia has the fifth highest rates of preterm birth. The action of premature infants bathing every day may result in stress. A swaddle bath is a technique of bathing to provide the feeling of the womb so that babies feel comfortable and avoid stress, shown by stability of vital signs and a lack of stress behavior. The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of a swaddle bath vs. conventional bath methods on the temperature, heart rate and oxygen saturation of premature infants. This research was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study with a control group. The 50 participants were divided into the swaddle bath group (n = 25) and the conventional bath group (n = 25). The inclusion criteria were: gestation age = 30-36 weeks, temperature > 35∘C and ≤ 37.5∘C, SpO2 = 90-94%, body weight ≥ 1,500 grams, and not in intensive care. Before and after bathing, the baby’s temperature was measured with an axilla thermometer, heart rate with a stethoscope and oxygen saturation with a pulse oximeter. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney test. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the temperature, heart rate or oxygen saturation before vs. after the swaddle bath (p= 0.087, p = 0.55, p = 1.00, respectively). However, there was a significant difference in the temperature, heart rate and oxygen saturation after the swaddle bath compared with the conventional bath (p = 0.019, p = 0.041, p = 0.024, respectively). We can conclude that the swaddle bath affected the temperature, heart rate and oxygen saturation in the premature infants and that the vital signs remained stable and normal.

METHOD FOR IMPROVING ANALYTICAL RESULTS FOR A ROTATING BLADE VERSUS DIRECT NUMERICAL CALCULATION
Authors: Kazakov Eugene A. , Sumbatyan Mezhlum A.
Published: February 2022

The paper proposes an analytical method for calculating the value of the driving force of a thin rotating plate. The classical approach represents the plate as a set of plane problems corresponding to the section of the blade. The theory of a thin wing describes the translational motion of the plate. Unlike them, the proposed method allows us to consider a rotating thin plate as a whole. A two-dimensional integral equation permitting to describe a plate of any shape and twist is obtained. The singular terms of the obtained equation qualitatively correspond to the singular terms of the classical equation for the translational motion of the thin plate, and additional regular terms are responsible for the rotational character of the motion. A numerical experiment of rotating thin plate was performed in the ANSYS CFX simulation software. The results of the numerical experiment are compared with the data obtained by the classical method of the plane problem and the proposed analytical method. The proposed method permits reducing the deviation of the draft value obtained analytically from the value obtained numerically by three times – from 200 to 75 %.

The determination of the radioactivity of soils in settlements and natural territories is necessary to identify areas with an increased level of radionuclide content. The paper is devoted to studying the features of accumulation of natural radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th, 40K) and artificial 137Cs by plants in the conditions of semiarid steppes on the example of the chestnut zone of the Rostov region. Samples of soils and plants selected in the Tsimlyansky, Volgodonsky, Dubovsky and Orlovsky districts of the Rostov region during the 2014-2017 expeditions were used as objects of research. The activity concentration of radionuclides in soil and plants was measured by gamma spectrometric method of radionuclide analysis. It is shown that the distribution of artificial radionuclide 137Cs in the soil cover of the Rostov region, caused by the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, is extremely uneven and depends on the humus content. Biogenic element 40K accumulates in the surface horizon, also correlating with the humus content. The activity concentration of 137Cs content on 40K is most clearly displayed in the upper layer (0-10 cm). The lowest activity concentration of natural radionuclides is typical for alluvial-meadow soils and salt marshes of lightweight granulometric composition formed in floodplains of rivers and on coastal areas of lake Manych-Gudilo. In chestnut and dark-chestnut soils, the activity concentration of natural radionuclides is almost comparable, since variations in the activity concentration of these radionuclides in these soils are within the measurement error (10-15 %). The aggregated transfer factors from soil to plants for all radionuclides were generally less than 0.4 m2/kg. Variations in radionuclide aggregated transfer factors in the ecosystem are caused by climatic conditions during the selection period and, as a result, by mechanical contamination of soil particles and dust both during rains and during droughts, when the soil begins to dust.

The results of the study of the winter wheat treatment with liquid humic preparations "EKOSS" and "BIO-Don" effectiveness are presented. The final concentration of the solution used is 0.002 %. The experimental layout is provided for a single (tillering phase) and double (tillering and heading phases) application of foliar treatments. The control was the variant without the application of humic preparations. The research was carried out in a field experiment in the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution FRANTS in the Aksai district of the Rostov region. Soil samples were taken 4 times: after the resumption of spring vegetation, two weeks after each foliar treatment of crops, and after harvesting. The use of humic preparations was accompanied by an increase in the activity of urease and phosphatase, an increase in the availability of phosphorus and nitrogen compounds. The results of the study showed a good relationship between the activity of phosphatase and the dynamics of mobile phosphorus. The calculation of the biological yield showed that both humic preparations provide an increase in yield, but the increase from the use of the "EKOSS" preparation is statistically significant and amounts to 23–26 % relative to the control variant. The analysis of grain quality did not reveal a significant difference between the options, however, at the level of the trend, positive changes in the quality of grain can be noted in the option with the double treatment of crops with the humic preparation "EKOSS".

The article is devoted to the study of the processes of functioning of pyrotechnic generators of ice-forming aerosol under conditions as close as possible to the conditions of real cloud-seeding operations. The influence of external pressure on the functioning of a pyrotechnic generator in the dimensions of a PV-26 ejectable flare equipped with a composition according to RU patent No. 2551343 (containing 15 % of an active reagent) under conditions a pressure to 267 mm Hg (corresponds to the maximum height of the use of generators of this type - 8 km). The experiments were carried out in thermal vacuum chambers of the RPA "Typhoon". As a result of the experiments were determined the dependences of the burning rate of the pyrotechnic composition, the change in the content of active ice-forming rea-gents, and the spectral characteristics of the generated aerosol on external pressure. As a extreme case, there is a significant probability of a stop burning of the pyrotechnic composition when using PV-26 ejectable flare at pressures less than 405 mm Hg (corresponds to an altitude of 5 km).

The possibility of а remote approach to investigate soil and vegetation covers dynamics over a long-term period has been considered. The paper presents the experience of using the vegetation index (VI), reflecting the state of vegetation. For VI determining the OneSoil online service (https://app.onesoil.ai) was used as a tool. Previously, key areas with different types of soil cover by texture, salinization degree, and vegetation cover were identified. Based on 45 different and multi-season satellite images with a given time resolution, a picture of the dynamics of changes in the values of VI scale limits by the degree of projected vegetation coverage was obtained. It's well known that vegetation is an indirect indicator of soil cover condition, which identifies soil cover condition with high accuracy. High anthropogenic pressing, climatic changes and extremely dry summer 2020 promoted intensive landscape degradation in the South of Russia. As a result, it was revealed that during the five-year period, negative changes in the annual values of the growing index decreased by almost 2.5 times.

The study of the features of the content and profile distribution of total and available phosphates, depending on the applied agrotechnologies (traditional, minimal and No-till), was carried out. The object of the study was Haplic Chernozem carbonate of the southern zone of the Rostov region. The significant influence of the applied agricultural technology on the phosphate state of winter wheat agrocenoses was noted. The use of resource-saving technologies contributes to the accumulation of potential phosphate reserves in the upper horizons of the soil in comparison with the traditional technology with dump ploughing. The involvement of soil in agricultural production leads to an increase in the content of available phosphates (by 28-64 % in the Ap horizon, compared to virgin soil). The intensity of agricultural technology affects the mobility of phosphorus in the soil differently. In areas with dump ploughing, the maximum increase in the content of available phosphates was noted, both in comparison with the Chernozem of the virgin soil, and with the introduction of resource-saving agricultural technologies.
Antysemicki rumuński rząd Octaviana Gogi i Alexandru Cuzy w opinii polskojęzycznej prasy II Rzeczypospolitej (1937–1938)
Authors: Walicki Jacek
Published: February 2022

Książka przedstawia, jak pewien zapoznany i krótki epizod z dziejów Rumunii został zaprezentowany przez polską prasę codzienną. Powstanie rządu Gogi-Cuzy było zaskoczeniem dla obserwatorów polityki owego czasu i wynikało z dalekosiężnych planów politycznych dążącego do dyktatury króla Karola II, a zagrożonego w swej władzy przez dynamiczny, faszystowski ruch Żelaznej Gwardii Corneliu Codreanu. Sprawowanie rządów znalazło się w rękach innej, równie radykalnej, ale słabszej i skłóconej z Codreanu partii. Książka przedstawia obrazy wydarzeń w Rumunii, jakie dla swych czytelników tworzyły dzienniki różnorakich opcji politycznych: od socjalistycznego „Robotnika”, poprzez chadeckie „Polonię” i „Głos Narodu”, prawicowy „Kurier Warszawski”, do oenerowskiego „ABC” i konserwatywnego „Czasu”. Uwzględniona jest również prasa obozu rządzącego („Gazeta Polska”) i polskojęzyczne dzienniki żydowskie (np. „Nasz Przegląd”, „Nowy Dziennik”). Oprócz szczegółowego przedstawienia antysemickiej polityki rządu – stanowiącej oś jego działania – w publikacji omówiono też inne zagadnienia działalności gabinetu Gogi-Cuzy, takie jak polityka wewnętrzna, polityka zagraniczna czy też budzące zrozumiałe zainteresowanie polskiej prasy stosunki polsko-rumuńskie. Książkę zamyka rozdział przedstawiający upadek rządu i opinie polskie o jego całościowej działalności.

La enfermedad provocada por el SARS-CoV-2 azotó al mundo al finalizar el año 2019, pero fue en 2020 cuando alcanzó a América Latina, y lo hizo con severidad. Ante su inminente desbordamiento, los sistemas de salud prescribieron el confinamiento como medida central para evitar su propagación y, ante todo, resguardar a las poblaciones vulnerables. El presente artículo se ocupa de este tema emergente, bajo el supuesto de que, las medidas de distanciamiento acentuarían el olvido familiar de las y los ancianos, en especial de los que cursan el último tramo de vida en calidad de internos. A partir de un enfoque cualitativo se analizó el impacto del fenómeno en las relaciones familiares de las y los envejecidos de una residencia situada en el Alto Balsas, Guerrero, detectando que la calamidad acentuó el desapego filial para con ellos, y concluyendo que, independientemente de las actuales circunstancias socio-sanitarias, las y los institucionalizados experimentan un estadio de olvido familiar alarmante.

Cuando partió sentí un gran vacío, que sé que es compartido con todos quienes lo extrañan. En este escrito no pretendo cubrir todos los ámbitos de su vida académica ni de su biografía, pero sí contar pequeños momentos de su recorrido por esta tierra. Retratar un poco más la calidad de persona que fue Jürgen Golte. Su carácter e ímpetu científico marcaron positivamente la vida de mucha gente. De algún modo las conversaciones gratas y los debates argumentativos han pasado al ámbito de los libros, y desde ellos podremos seguir conversando con él, leyendo y pensando. Yo lo imagino surcando los caminos a través del mundo de arriba y el mundo de abajo en un barco de totora con Quismique, resolviendo todas las dudas pendientes. Encontrándose de nuevo con aquellos seres amadosque partieron antes. A nosotros, aquí en el mundo de los vivos, nos queda la misión de seguir leyéndolo y recordándolo. Seguir investigando para conversar, dialogar y desarrollar con el conocimiento que creó.

The need to assess the possibilities and prospects of IT in medical education has determined the relevance of the study, the purpose of which was to consider the experience of introducing information technologies into the educational process of medical universities. A total of 322 students and 169 teachers took part in an anonymous online survey. The research design involved two major research units, namely the theoretical and experimental ones, which consisted of several successive stages. The psychological consequences of introducing information technologies into the educational process were studied using valid psychodiagnostic methods. As a result of the study it was found that possible obstacles to the expansion of the use of IT to teach medical students clinical disciplines are inadequate technological infrastructure, lack of adequate curricula, and students' lack of independent work and self-discipline skills. The distance learning experience was generally assessed as positive with an average level of satisfaction. The main positive aspects of introducing information technology and distance learning in medical education are timesaving and flexibility of classes. The limitations of the study were related to the problem of conducting the study in a pandemic environment, so it was conducted online.

Readiness for inter-professional education at health sciences: A study of educational technology perspectives
Authors: Aye Soe Soe , Rillera Marzo Roy
Published: February 2022

Background:Interprofessional Education (IPE), is the engagement of two or more healthcare professions in an integrated learning environment to foster collaboration and improve healthcare services.In IPE, initiatives are taken where technology is a crucial part of the learning process.Current technology practices in IPE comprise eLearning modules on collaborative practice skills and many others.This study aims to determine the readiness for interprofessionaleducation ofthe health sciences students.Methods: A questionnaire called Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) was used to assess attitudes related to interprofessional collaboration & education. Descriptive and non-parametric statistics were used to analyze the results in aggregate, as well as by each faculty. Results:Medicalstudents gave a higher rating in terms ofthe perceived benefits of working together to solve patient problems compared to other faculties. Also, they were more open to working in small-group projects with other healthcare students and value the importance of shared learning to clarify the nature of patients’ problems. But compared to others, the Nursing students wereunsure of what their professional role will be and wanted to acquire more knowledge and skills than other healthcare students. The total RIPLS score amongstall  was in the  high range.Conclusion:Thus, students were deemed ready for IPE.Recommendations:The University need to consider how to implement IPE within their curricula,define learning outcomes and/ or competencies,develop and utilize the 4Dimensional curriculum development framework in line with the health professional accreditation standards in order to promote collaboration and competence amongst  all  students ,whereby upon graduation, they as healthcare professionals, in turn will optimize health services, strengthen health system and improve healthoutcomes.
