Chlamydia infection resembling ulcerative colitis: case report
Authors: Palhares Dario
Published: September 2022

Introduction: The diagnosis of ulcerative colitis is relatively complex because the symptoms are similar to those seen in several other diseases. Objective: To report a case of rectal chlamydial infection whose initial symptoms resembled ulcerative colitis. Case report: A 50-year-old male patient presented with diarrhea, blood and mucus in the stools, and an ulcer in the rectum. The histopathological exam pointed to chronic, unspecified inflammation. After a broad serological screening, with Immunoglobulin M positive for Chlamydia and a high titer of immunoglobulin G, the patient was treated with antibiotics and is clinically cured. Later, he remained Immunoglobulin M positive, but the titers of immunoglobulin G lowered considerably. Chlamydia has been shown to live in the gut microbiota, which could explain the case. Conclusion: It is important to search for chlamydial infection as a differential diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.
Deficiencia de vitamina D, estrés oxidante y enfermedad
Authors: Rojas Guadarrama Joselyn , Hernández Cruz Estefani Yaquelin , Pedraza Chaverri José
Published: September 2022

The active form of vitamin D, 1α,25-

dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3], is a steroid

hormone whose biological actions are mediated through

the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Globally, its deficiency

is a major public health problem and is mainly due to

insufficient exposure to sunlight. It is estimated that

50% of the world’s population has vitamin D insufficiency

and one billion people are deficient. Vitamin D deficiency

induces oxidative stress and both are associated with

various diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension

and COVID-19. Vitamin D exerts an indirect antioxidant

role:1) increasing the transcription of erythroid nuclear

factor 2 -related factor 2 (Nrf2), which increases various

antioxidant enzymes, 2) decreasing the expression of

pro-oxidant enzymes and 3) decreasing the translocation

of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) to the nucleus. The

importance of this deficiency is made evident by the fact

that vitamin D supplementation has been associated

with a significant reduction in mortality. Therefore, the

aim of this review is to update the basics around vitamin

D deficiency and its relationship to some diseases.

The arid and semi-arid regions of Mexico represent 65 % of the national territory and 50 % of Mexican dryland floras are endemic and accompanied by ample local and traditional knowledge. There are types of cactus fruits that are being technologically produced. However, there are other components such as seeds and peels that are underutilized or being wasted, which are little studied and could be promoted for sustainable use as valuable materials with applications in coating food, as biopolymers in the cosmetic industry, food, and agriculture, in addition to health area. The genera of Opuntia ficus-indica, Hylocereus sp., Stenocereus spp. and Myrtillocactus geometrizans contain bioactive compounds in seeds and peels that are associated with antioxidant and nutritional benefits. The purpose of this review is to compile the nutritional and functional properties of the seeds and peels of selected cactus fruits, to establish knowledge gaps and the direction of future research.
Efecto antioxidante de Ganoderma lucidum sobre la obesidad
Authors: Bautista Montero Zoha , Meneses Álvarez María Eugenia , Pérez Herrera Aleyda
Published: September 2022

The change in eating patterns has contributed

to the suffering of one of the main public health problems.

Obesity is defined as an energy imbalance, where there is

excessive storage of energy. Oxidative stress originates

when the redox state of the cell is affected because they are

exposed to a pro-oxidant environment and the antioxidant

mechanisms are overwhelmed. Dietary antioxidants are

substances present in food and have a function of protecting

the organism from the adverse effects of reactive oxygen

species. In addition, oxidative stress in obesity can be

counteracted through physical activity and by modifying the

diet through functional foods with a high content of bioactive

compounds with an antioxidant effect. Ganoderma lucidum is

a medicinal mushroom with various bioactive compounds,

among which phenolic compounds, polysaccharides and

triterpenoids stand out, which are largely responsible for

the antioxidant activity of this species. In the present work,

a bibliographic review was carried out on the antioxidant

effect of G. lucidum on obesity.
Religious and Political Reforms and Reconstruction of Mujaddid Alf e Thani in Muslim of sub-continent
Authors: Asadullah Babar Sultan , Hussain Taswar , Akhlaq Uzma
Published: September 2022

During his period, the life of ordinary Muslims was largely polytheistic and heretical. Due to their association with polytheistic religions and Indian culture, Muslims attended non-Muslim religious ceremonies. For their own purposes, they prayed to their gods and goddesses. The Muslims also started participating in Hindu festivals like Rakhi and Diwali. On the occasion of Diwali, they used to Light Lamps just like Hindus and used to cook food and send their friends in colorful pots as gift. The influence of Hindu civilization had affected the upper classes as well. The analytical study of the political, social and religious conditions of the time of Mujaddad Alf Thani (R.A) and the work of Mujaddad Alf Thani shows that the Muslim society of the Indian subcontinent at that time was prone to heresy and atheism. From the government level to the public, there was a lot of intellectual turmoil and dispersal. Ideological turmoil and dissension prevailed from the government to the public level. Religious chaos, religious heresies, the proliferation of rituals and innovations, the promotion of the Akbari religion, the bigotry of the saints and worldliness posed a serious threat to Islam and Islamic thoughts and original values. In these circumstances, there was a need to protect the Muslim Uma from the disaster and hinder the fall in creeds of the Muslim society and to render its services for the propagation of the religion and the spread of the religion. Therefore, to achieve this goal, Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi was known as Mujaddad Alf Thani performed reformative contribution in the Hindustan.

Published: September 2022

Factors responsible for students’ dropout at primary school level in Swabi was the topic of research study. Objectives of the study were to explore the factors responsible school for students’ dropout associated with school, to identify the factors responsible for students’ dropout associated with parents and to find out the factors responsible for students’ dropout associated with students. A total of 30 head teachers and 30 teachers which form 42% and 13% of the total population were randomly selected. The main research instrument to be employed in this study was questionnaire. Finding of the study concluded that school related factors that mainly contribute to pupils’ dropout included shortage of teachers and grade retention, whereas factors that included uninteresting curriculum, corporal punishment, and distance from school had been noted to contribute either less or no contribution at all. In the family related category of variable factors, the study identified that unlike school related factors, where some factors contributed more and some less, each one of the factors in family related factors contributed to their extreme level. In school related factors, the study found that class repetition was widely practiced as a remedy for poor performance. When forced to repeat classes, students chose to drop out. It was also found from the study that absenteeism made students miss lessons and thus ended up performing very poorly in examinations.  Due to which they were being forced to repeat classes, and hence made them to take the decision of leaving the school. Based on findings, it was recommended that effort might be made to aware parents about the significance of education through different seminars and workshop. Poverty is responsible for students’ dropout So, government may try to provide free education and facilitate students through stipends. To reduce or eliminate absenteeism teacher may inform their parents about students’ attendance and sort out solution for improving students’ attendance. Teachers may give individual attention to the weak students to eliminate the cause of grade retention. Parents might be aware about the effect of domestic work on their children learning. School heads may ensure a conducive learning environment for the students that they may come to school with a smiley face.

Authors: Sampaio Braga Diana , Silva Antonio Luiz , Moura Iracilene Souza , Gomes Eduardo Onofre
Published: September 2022

Apoiados na literatura e na prática profissional, no presente trabalho, refletiremos sobre o processo de avaliação para o seu diagnóstico em TEA. Discutiremos que o diagnóstico em TEA é eminentemente clínico e leva em conta de modo especial os 03 primeiros anos de vida do indivíduo. Destacaremos o reconhecimento de critérios determinantes, os quais apontam para prejuízos em interação social e comunicação, além de comportamentos e interesses estereotipados, repetitivos e restritivos em múltiplos ambientes. Como o processo avaliativo inclui tanto a observação sistemática dos padrões comportamentais quanto a aplicação de instrumentos de rastreios, discorremos acerca de três escalas validadas e adaptadas para a realidade brasileira, ATA, M-Chat e CARS. Defenderemos que os dados obtidos pela avaliação clínica e pela aplicação das escalas podem contribuir tanto para a detecção do TEA quanto fornecer diretrizes para o planejamento de intervenções que contemplem as especificidades de cada caso.
Maus-tratos aos animais: expressão de sinais, carga alostática, consequências psiquiátricas e o direito à existência digna
Authors: Zanoni Fagundes Cunha Erika , Zanoni Cury Bruno , Sebastiao Fagundes Cunha Jose , Genaro Gelson
Published: September 2022

Evidências recentes apontam que animais podem sofrer de transtornos mentais. Fatores como abandono, restrição da liberdade, estresse, trauma e abuso podem predispor ao aparecimento de doenças mentais nos indivíduos, tais como: depressão, transtorno do estresse pós-trauma, ansiedade e transtornos compulsivos. Na medicina veterinária esses transtornos são subdiagnosticados. Consequentemente, os animais vítimas de maus-tratos e traumas não recebem os cuidados médicos necessários e sofrem de distúrbios psicológicos extremos e debilitantes e simplesmente morrem em decorrência da carga alostática. Além disso, o agressor não tem uma pena compatível com o dano causado. A revisão é uma contribuição para o avanço dos estudos a respeito do reconhecimento e identificação dos transtornos psiquiátricos dos animais, e seu conteúdo se presta como alerta e encorajamento para os profissionais que atuam na melhoria do bem-estar animal.

Authors: Abdulhussien Dina M. , Saud Laith J.
Published: September 2022

Face detection technology is an essential step in almost all face related analysis applications such as face feature extraction, face alignment, face verification, face identification, face parsing, face recognition, age recognition, and gender classification. Numerous algorithms were introduced for face detection, one of which is the Viola-Jones algorithm being introduced in 2001. This algorithm is still widely used due to its simplicity and ability of detection in real-time with relatively high accuracy and low computational power requirements compared to other recent algorithms such as deep learning based algorithms. In this paper, Viola-Jones algorithm is implemented and evaluated through different tests. And its strengths, limitations, and affecting factors are provided according to the obtained results. This paper concentrates on the algorithm limitations and the reasons of these limitations, and suggests some solutions if possible. This can help in enhancing the algorithm performance by increasing the detection accuracy or reducing the time taken for detection or training…etc.
USER POINT PERSPECTIVE AS A PROCESS FOR URBAN (RE)DEVELOPMENT: THE CASE OF RIVERFRONT CBD IN KHULNA CITY
Authors: Mallick Falguni , Naqi Md. Ali , Islam A. K. M. Kausarul , Hakim Sheikh Serajul
Published: September 2022

Khulna is an industrial city of Bangladesh which experienced the migration of people from surrounding areas for better scope of job and living. Over the years, some parts of the city have become over populated as some others have been left rather under or un-utilized. Current situation indicates that the present development authority has little control over the land use or economic activity in this area. High cost of land, poor institutional management, absence of a clear national land policy and lack of co-ordination between government agencies have made development programs more challenging. So far no legislative decision has been taken to meet the current problems of land ownership. Now it is felt that an integrated participatory program might give some directions towards a sustainable approach to mitigate this crisis. Collaboration between public service providing institutions might bring positive results to the community. This research is an inquiry of the degree of acceptability of local stakeholders towards any redevelopment program of this old CBD, historically situated by the river Bhairab. At the same time, it intends to find out the potential target group(s) to be involved in the development program.
THE MACBETH COUPLE IN THE GRIP OF NIHILISM AND DESPAIR
Authors: Chowdhury Fariha Ishrat , Baqui Gazi Abdulla-hel
Published: September 2022

Macbeth is one of the great tragedies of Shakespeare. Its two central characters Macbeth and Lady Macbeth at last turn out to be nihilists in the play. Because of the execution of their evil design, their commission of crime, morbid psychology, frailties, sheer oscillation, losing convictions, breaking order and natural human instinct and above all the condition of their being childless, they succumb to political, ethical and existential nihilism and despair. With regard to this, various crises and problems arise out of their evil ingenuity, wrong motivation, ‘vaulting ambition’ and unnatural imagination. In fact, a lot of valuable criticism on Macbeth from different angles has already been poured in, but the treatment of the present theme of the play appears to be slim. Therefore, relevant criticism has been consulted for exploring this present area properly and presenting the new vistas convincingly. As the topic has a new dimension with great critical interest, the efforts have been made to deal with it in the article elaborately and penetratingly. Ultimately this study tries to prove that the Macbeth couple cannot withstand the universal order of existence and at last, bereft of all values and beliefs, become the victim of profound despair and nihilism and are destined to invite their final unfortunate doom, as tragic as harrowing, as an isolated couple, in their autonomous world of meaninglessness.

Authors: Kamal Dipak , Uddin Md. Forhad , Khatun Mst. Muslima
Published: September 2022

Present state of the marketing and transportation of mud crab in Khulna region of Bangladesh was investigated through field survey from January to December 2001. Out of 9 upazillas in Khulna District mud crab business was found in 5 namely, Paikgacha, Koyra, Dumuria, Batiaghata and Dacope. The crab depots were located mostly near the highways and on the bank of rivers. The crabs landed at depots were harvested from various sources including the Sundarbans mangrove swamps, tidal rivers and canals, and black tiger shrimp ponds (ghers). Supply of mud crabs was round the year with a peak during rainy season. The total production was estimated to be 1872.28 tons in Khulna district in 2001 of which 1228.73 tons were males and 643.55 tons were females. The highest production of mud crab was found in Paikgacha (75.59% of the total production). The maximum average price was found for XL grade followed by F1 grade. The harvested crabs were transported to depots by small wooden boats. Trucks and buses were used to transport crabs at night when the ambient temperature was low in order to reduce mortality. The mortality rate during transportation was higher in summer. The domestic market of crab was poorly developed in this region because of high price, and social and religious prohibition among the Muslim. Most of the harvested crabs were marketed in the foreign country. Major importers of mud crab are China, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan.

Published: September 2022

A field experiment was conducted to find out the impact of weeding regime on the performance of three Aus rice. The experimental treatment consisted of three varieties of rice viz. BRRI dhan28, Bere Ratna and Kajol Lata, and four weeding regimes viz. no weeding, one hand weeding at 35 days after sowing (DAS), two hand weedings at 20 and 35 DAS and three hand weedings at 20, 35 and 50 DAS. The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. Eleven weed species belonging to five families infested the experimental plots; Cyperus rotundus L. and Imperata cylindrica (L.) Baeuv. were the dominant. The effect of weeding regime on weed density (except at 20 DAS) and weed dry weight was statistically significant. The results indicated that three hand weedings at 20, 35 and 50 DAS produced the highest number of effective tillers hill-1, number of filled grains panicle-1, 1000-grain weight and grain yield. Among the varieties Bere Ratna gave the highest grain yield.

The study was conducted through a survey on 108 women representatives elected in the Union Parishad (UP) election of 2003 purposively selected from 36 Unions of Bagerhat District of Bangladesh with an interview schedule. These women representatives mainly came to UP through the provision of reserved seats of Union Parishad Act, 1997. They are not given equal access in project distribution, committee memberships and their opinions in the UP decision making were ignored. The adversarial conditions were manifested by the patriarchal social structure that does not put up with women in the leadership position. The surveyed women representatives suggested that significant political and institutional changes will be required for them to be empowered. To ensure good governance and to remove gender discrimination in local government, more supportive policies and laws have to be incorporated and implemented along with the reservation of seats for women.
Urgensi Pendidikan Karakter di Tengah Masifnya Pengaruh Globalisasi Kebudayaan

Published: September 2022

Artikel ini merupakan studi pustaka tentang pentingnya pendidikan karakter di tengah globalisasi budaya. Perkembangan globalisasi yang kian masif mempengaruhi segala sisi kehidupan Bangsa Indonesia. Tidak terkecuali lunturnya budaya lokal ketimuran Indonesia. Sebuah negara yang dijuluki dunia sebagai negara yang ramah dan berbudaya luhur, kini dilanda krisis karakter para generasi penerusnya. Contoh sederhana adalah perkembangan media sosial seperti Instagram dan Tiktok yang sering menampilkan keabsurdan remaja masa kini, yang sama sekali tidak mencerminkan budaya dan keluhuran karakter Indonesia. Bahkan nilai-nilai kesopanan yang mulai luntur tercermin dari perilaku warganet Indonesia. Kelemahan inilah yang harus segera dibenahi, salah satunya dengan pendidikan karakter. Pendidikan karakter dalam Agama Islam dikenal sebagai pendidikan akhlak, yang merupakan salah satu tugas utama Rasulullah Saw dalam dakwahnya. Seperti yang telah disabdakan oleh beliau dalam hadist riwayat Abu Hurairah “ إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ لأُتَمِّمَ مَكَارِمَ الأَخْلاقِ “, sesungguhnya aku (Nabi Muhammad Saw) diutus untuk menyempurnakan akhlak. Pendidikan akhlak mengatur hubungan sosial manusia dan dengan Allah Swt. Pentingnya pendidikan karakter ini merupakan tanggung jawab bersama, dimulai dari kesadaran diri tiap individu. Keluarga mempunyai peran utama dalam melaksanakan pendidikan ini, karena anak akan belajar dari pengalaman yang ia lalui sejak kecil. Orang tua harus mampu memberikan bimbingan, teladan, hingga menjadi pembiasaan. Selain keluarga, pendidikan formal sekolah juga tak kalah penting dalam pelaksanaan ini. Pendidikan akhlak tidak semata hanya dilakukan oleh guru agama, melainkan menjadi tanggung jawab tiap guru saat pembelajaran untuk diisi dengan nilai-nilai akhlak

This study aim to investigate the impact of economic activities on environmental sustainability in Indonesia. In this study, we use the variables of infrastructure, economic growth, and human capital to understand economic activity and the role of human capital in the economy and environmental sustainability. As a measure of environmental sustainability, we use indicators of carbon dioxide (CO2) and ecological footprint (EF) in Indonesia.This study uses annual time series data with a time period of 1985 to 2020. The data consists of various sources. The data is secondary data collected from the Global Footprint Network, Penn World, and World Bank. This research utilized the following two time-series models for the period from 1985 to 2020 for the following variables.The dependent variable in this study is the ecological footprint and CO2 as an indicator of environmental damage. The independent variables in this study are the human capital index (HC), economic growth (EG), infrastructure (Gx), and natural resource depletion (NR) as indicators of economic activity and environmental changes as a result of economic activity.This study adopted the Dynamic ARDL model from Khan et al. (2020). The adoption of the ARDL model in this study aims to examine, simulate and predict the graph of shocks that occur in the independent variables. The results of the analysis using the ARDL approach show that in the long term human capital and natural resources have a negative relationship with CO2, while Economic Growth and infrastructure development have a positive relationship with CO2. Based on the ARDL results, it can be concluded that the role of human capital is very important in preserving nature and infrastructure development needs to be carried out while preserving nature or trying to minimize environmental damage.

This study attempts to investigate the potential for public debt traps in countries in Asia, especially Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, and Timor Leste. This study employs a vector panel model using secondary data from annual Reports in a quantitative manner from the world bank. This study investigates samples from 12 Asian countries, namely Sri Lanka, Timor Leste, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia. we use an annual research time period from 1990 to 2020. We found that economic growth, consumption growth, government spending, total debt arising from bond sales, and interest rates in Sri Lanka, Timor Leste, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia influence each other significantly. This shows that public debt has an impact on almost all lines of the economic sector. When the public debt is not balanced by the real sector, which is represented by economic growth, consumption growth, and government spending, it will become a threat to the economy when public debt payments are due and state revenues are insufficient to make payments and the real sector is not strong enough to support cash outflows. As a result of the payment of a public debt, there is the potential for a crisis as well as interest rates which have an impact on public debt, where the higher the interest rate, the more burdensome the real sector will be in providing compensation for loans received at the specified interest rate.

The purpose of this research is to examine the short- and long-term effects of foreign investment and trade on economic development in Indonesia. This analysis makes use of yearly time series data spanning the years 1985 to 2020. This data is derived from secondary sources such as the World Bank. In this research, the dependent variable is the national gross domestic product, which serves as a proxy for economic growth. In this research, the independent variables are trade (T) and foreign direct investment (FDI), which serve as indices of economic activity. The findings of the research utilizing the ARDL technique indicate that although two factors, trade, and foreign direct investment, have little influence on economic development, in the long run, they do have a considerable effect in the short run. According to the ARDL results, trade and foreign direct investment are critical for Indonesia's economic growth, but in Indonesia, a trade sector dominated by imports causes this variable to have a significant negative relationship with economic growth, implying that the greater the proportion of trade, the lower economic growth in Indonesia.

Published: September 2022

O presente artigo apresenta o olhar da sociologia para o conflito, considerando-o inerente ao ser humano e às relações sociais. Partindo do estudo sobre o conjunto de comportamentos vinculados e atribuídos ao ser humano, busca-se saber qual é o papel do conflito na dinâmica social. Para compreender as humanidades compartilhadas, será analisado, inicialmente, o ser humano das experiências diárias, considerando sua experiência consigo mesmo e na relação com os demais. Em seguida, analisar-se-á a dinâmica social, fazendo ver que o conflito faz parte da natureza humana e tem papel social a ser exercido na realidade vivenciada. Ao final, conclui-se que é por meio do conflito que as experiências diárias acontecem e que a sociedade se desenvolve. Negar a sua existência é o mesmo que negar as mudanças sociais. A pesquisa foi concebida pelo método de abordagem hipotético-dedutivo e método de procedimento histórico-analítico. Quanto à técnica de pesquisa, utilizou-se a documental indireta.

Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a aplicação da possibilidade de vinculação dos membros do conselho de administração aos acordos de acionistas firmados pelos acionistas controladores, à luz dos deveres fiduciários impostos aos administradores pela Lei 6.404/1976, bem como das boas práticas de governança corporativa, cuja valorização pelo mercado e pela Comissão de Valores Mobiliários é crescente. A metodologia utilizada é a pesquisa teórica de cunho bibliográfico e documental, com a leitura e interpretação da legislação, artigos científicos e jurisprudência sobre o assunto, bem como por meio da análise, por amostragem, de companhias abertas de diversos setores, com vistas a acompanhar a adoção por elas das recomendações do Código Brasileiro de Governança Corporativa, usando-se o método hipotético-dedutivo. Este artigo traz à baila a necessidade de haver um balanceamento entre a vinculação dos conselheiros de administração ao acordo de acionistas e a importância da persecução do interesse social, ressaltando que os conselheiros devem agir com independência e se recusar a votar em consonância com o acordo de acionistas, caso tal voto vá de encontro aos interesses e objetivos sociais.

Boredom, as a commonly experienced negative, deactivating achievement emotion, is significantly correlated with the key indicators of academic and well-being outcomes. However, compared with enjoyment and anxiety, boredom in the field of English as a foreign language (EFL), especially the mediating mechanism of boredom on academic performance, still remains relatively unexplored. This study aimed to test whether academic engagement mediated the relationship between boredom and academic achievement in the EFL setting. Data were collected from 535 Chinese EFL secondary school students. Structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that boredom negatively predicted EFL achievement and academic engagement mediated the relation between boredom and EFL achievement. Limitations and implications are discussed.
FEATURE LEVEL FUSION FRAMEWORK FOR BRAIN MR IMAGE CLASSIFICATION USING SUPERVISED DEEP LEARNING AND HAND CRAFTED FEATURES
Authors: N Prakash , J Prashantha
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we propose an efficient fusion framework for brain magnetic resonance (MR) image classification using deep learning and handcrafted feature extraction methods, namely histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) and local binary patterns (LBP). The proposed framework aims to: (1) determine the optimal handcrafted features by Genetic Algorithm (GA) (2) discover the fully connected (FC) layers features using fine-tuned convolutional neural network (CNN) (3) employs the canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and the discriminant correlation analysis (DCA) methods in feature level fusion. Extensive experiments were conducted and demonstrated the classification performance on three benchmark datasets, viz., RD-DB1, TCIA-IXI-DB2 and TWB-HM-DB3. The mean accuracy of 68.69%, 90.35%, and 93.15% from CCA and 77.22%, 100.00%, and 99.40% from DCA was achieved by the Support Vector Machines (SVM) sigmoid kernel classifier on RD-DB1, TCIA-IXI-DB2, and TWB-HM-DB3 respectively. The obtained results of the proposed framework outperform when compared with other state-of-art works.

Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the major complications occurring in patients with mechanical ventilation, particularly in patients with trauma and head injury. The present study was conducted to determine the rate of VAP in patients with trauma and head injury, risk factors associated with them and their microbial profile as well as antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. A prospective observational study was conducted at Surgical Intensive Care Unit at tertiary care teaching hospital between 1st December 2016 and 31st May 2018. All patients with traumatic injury with or without head injury and who have been intubated and put on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours, were included in the study. Patients developing VAP were considered as cases whereas those who did not develop VAP served as controls. Out of 174 patients included in the study, 39 patients developed VAP with an incidence rate of 22.4% and incidence density of 21.7 per 1000 ventilator-days. Risk factors such as GCS < 9 on admission, history of vomiting, craniotomy and tracheostomy were found to be statistically significant (p< 0.05) for development of VAP. Duration of ICU stay (30±16 vs 8±4.9 days) and duration of intubation (25.85±16 vs 5.83±4 days) were statistically significant findings. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the most common organisms isolated. Most of these organisms were multi drug resistant but were susceptible to colistin. Tracheostomy maintenance and infection control practices for patients undergoing surgical interventions such as craniotomy should be reviewed to bring down VAP rates.

The novel Coronavirus outbreak was originated from Wuhan, China, was first reported in India on 30th January 2020. The impact of an epidemic depends on the number of persons infected, infection transmissibility and the spectrum of clinical severity. To determine the impact of outbreak, analysis of the existing record was done. The objective of this study was to determine the demographic factors, case fatality rate, its association and trend was observed among positive cases reported in Gwalior district. Covid-19 related data collected at the IDSP unit of Gwalior District was analysed. A total of 11281 case reported between 30th March to 11th October was included and their recorded data was analysed using mean, median, chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. The study shows that Mean age of the cases was 39.95±16.75 while their median age was 38.0 (27.0-52.0). Maximum cases were in the age group of 21-30 (25.6%). On assessing the current status, 94.7% patients were discharged from isolation/treatment facility, 4% case were active while 1.3% died. Risk Ratio (Odds Ratio) for death was calculated for different characteristics. It was concluded from the present study that the outcome of disease was found statistically significant in age groups, residence in containment area and isolation status among patients by using logistic regression analysis. Also, no gender predilection of the disease and its mortality.

Perinatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) among important causes of neurological morbidity and mortality in full-term neonates. Identifying ischemic injury clinically usually is difficult in the immediate postnatal period, nonspecific clinical features are present and consid-erations regarding initiation of active life preserving therapies are needed. MR imaging is the most sensitive and specific imaging tech-nique available for the assessment of perinatal birth asphyxia related brain injury in term-born neonates. This study investigates the utility of MR spectroscopy peak ratios, ADC values along with conventional MRI. To compare the association of encephalopathy following hypoxia in term neonates with proton MRS ratios and ADC values. Conventional MRI (T1 and T2) along with DWI followed by MR Spectroscopy was done in 25 term neonates with clinical and neurological features of en-cephalopathy following perinatal asphyxia. MRS peak ratios, DWI with ADC values and conventional MRI findings were compared with each grade of HIE. Among 25 patients suspected cases of hypoxic enceph-alopathy, 15 patients had early positive conventional MR findings, 16 patients had late positive conventional MR findings, 19 patients had positive DWI, and 22 patients had positive MRS with high lac-tate/choline and lactate/NAA ratio. Higher association was found be-tween spectroscopy findings and hypoxic ischemic injury compared to MR imaging and ADC. The combination of MRS, DWI with ADC values and conventional MRI may assist in localizing and predicting the severi-ty of ischemic injury in HIE patients.
