A CROSS SECTIONAL ANALYTICAL STUDY ON ADHERENCE AND PERSISTENCE OF CONTINUING SECONDARY PREVENTIVE MEDICINES FOR STROKE AT THE END OF 3 MONTHS IN A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE IN SOUTH INDIA
Authors: Archana M DRS , S Saravanan , Ambrose Jason
Published: June 2023

Prevalence of stroke in India is 90-222/100000 population. It causes so much morbidity to patient and family. Several classes of drugs are effective in preventing stroke recurrence by modifying the risk factors. There is limited data on long-term use of secondary prevention medications following stroke. Persistence is dened as the continuation of all medications patient was last prescribed at the end of 3 months. Adherence is dened as taking modied medications as per needs as per doctor's advice. A Methodology: ll patients with stroke both is chaemic and haemorrhagic and age more than 18 years , sustained in the one year when study is conducted as from the records of neurology department and attending the department for follow up are taken for study. A semi structured interview is done with them or their care givers to get information on their background characteristics, aetiology of stroke, comorbidities, cost of medication and affordability, various classes of medications administered and whether they are persistent in taking drugs, are they adherent to drugs, if not adherent/persistent ,reason for the same by open ended questions. A total of 260 patients were included, mean age was 58.5 years. Result: 78.5% had 3-month persistence and 3 month adherence 35.6%. Independent predictors of 3 month medication persistence included age more than 60 years, marital status, fewer medications prescribed at discharge and patients taking anti hypertensives . Most common reason for non-persistence was because the patients did not know why medication is being taken by them. Various factors play a role in persistence and adherenc Conclusion: e of medications in stroke. A multifactorial intervention including patient and health care providers are warranted, because of morbidity and mortality associated with every episode of stroke.

Published: June 2023

Objectives: To understand the phenomenon of labour room violence against women and HCP's perceptions of behaviours constituting mistreatment in labour room, to study the factors responsible for mistreatment in labour rooms and to study the changes after training of RMC practices. Methods: This study analyses mixed-methods data obtained through systematic clinical observations and open-ended comments recorded by the observers to describe care and in -depth interview to capture HCPs perception of labour room violence. Findings: There are 7 major categories of disrespect and abuse that women encountered during childbirth in health facilities which are verbal abuse, non-consented clinical care, non-condential care (including denial of privacy), non-dignied care, discrimination based on specic patient attributes, abandonment or denial of care and detention in facilities.(1) According to the present study, these forms of mistreatment has been drastically reduced in our institute in addition to which good RMC practices are adopted, so that a woman can experience decent & ethical but an honourable start towards her motherhood. Conclusions: Training of HCPs to understand the concept of respectful maternity care, development of a handbook with standard operating protocols(14) for women in labour, introduction of different birthing positions as well as birth companions were described as key components to inculcating respectful maternity care. The programme was on going one, with respectful maternity care practices being passed on from older to newer staff through a system of continuous teaching and guidance on the job, hence institutionalising these new practices through constant engagement, supervision and incremental.
A CROSS SECTIONALANALYTICAL STUDY OF BREAK THROUGH SEIZURES IN EPILEPTICS IN A TERTIARY CARE CENTER
Authors: David Thampi Ajith , S Saravanan , Ravi S
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Epilepsy is a chronic disease affecting millions of patients worldwide. However, it continues to be a highly stigmatized and disabling chronic condition. Breakthrough seizures are seizures that occur in a person who had previously good consistent control of epilepsy documented in the medical records and then gets another seizure. Breakthrough seizures may result from forgotten prescriptions, under dosing, and use of recreational drugs, alcohol sleep deprivation etc. Methods : All the patients with epilepsy attending the OPD of Tirunelveli medical college between April 2021 and March 2023 were enrolled for the study. Those tting in break through seizure were given a structured proforma. Results: Atotal of 380 patients with epilepsy were considered for the study. Nearly half the patients (50%) had breakthrough seizures. Factors precipitating break through seizures like alcohol, screen time ,sleep deprivation and menstruation in females were all signicant with p value <0.05.However other factors like drug changes due to non availability, missed doses and increasing number of doses per day were statistically very signicant with a p value of<0.0001. Conclusions: The prevalence of breakthrough seizures can be amenable to change if we take measures to ensure the drug availability thereby leading to decrease in medication change and missed doses. Education helps to impart more knowledge of disease and helps in compliance and decrease the stigmata associated with the disease.

Authors: Suresh Jayasurya , S Saravanan , P Kalyani Jasmine
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Stroke mortality rates has decreased to a considerable value over the past few decades owing to the improved medical facilities and technology. This has lead to more number of stroke survivors in the aging population. A strong predictor of independent living after stroke is maintaining body balance and it was showing strong correlation with the disability perceived at the time of patient's discharge from the stroke rehabilitation unit Methodology: All patients with acute ischemic stroke were taken for study. These initial assessments collected information about handedness, all motor decits, postural instability and gait disorders, and disability affecting motor function. The second assessment was performed after one week of stroke at the discharge after daily physiotherapy and only focused on postural and gait disorders. Motor weakness was assessed by a standardized examination of muscle strength adapted for participants with central neurological disorders. Lateropulsion, gait and balance disorders were identied by specic protocols. Results: It was observed that the lesions of frontal lobe, thalamus, basal ganglia and internal capsule had signicant assosciation with balance and gait abnormality post stroke while lesions of parietal lobe, temporal lobe and occipital lobe did not lead to any signicant gait or balance decits. Individuals with lateropulsion improves well on daily physiotherapy in both Lw/oP (r = -0.65) and for pushers (r = -0.61) to a signicantly improved state( r= -0.5 for upright and r= -0.24 for pushers).Conclusion: Lateropulsion is a main factor in determining recovery of balance and gait in the subacute stage of stroke recovery. Special emphasis should be given to the impaired body orientation with respect to gravity in stroke rehabilitation stage and techniques to improve lateropulsion has to be stressed during physiotherapy for better recovery of balance and gait post stroke

PROFILE OF ANTENATAL CARE AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN ATTENDING OUTPATIENT CLINICS IN A RURAL BASED MEDICAL COLLEGE
Authors: Chandra Sekhar Vijayalakshmi
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Antenatal care (ANC) provides monitoring and regular follow-up of maternal and fetal health during pregnancy. Women with appropriate ANC tend to have uneventful delivery and birth outcomes. This study describes the patterns of ANC care provided in a tertiary care rural teaching hospital. Methods: Baseline cross-sectional data from pregnant women who attended the ANC clinic at GITAM Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Rushikonda, Visakhapatnam between May 2017 and January 2019 was analyzed. All the participants enrolled in the study completed a self-administered questionnaire in the regional language. The data collected were socio-demographic and pregnancy-related information. Regression models assessed the relationship between socio-demographic and pregnancy-related variables and “appropriate” (≤ 4 months' gestation) vs. “late” ANC initiation (>4 months' gestation). Results:At enrolment, 841 participants reported that it was their rst ANC visit and half (50.2%) of the women attending were late i.e. > 4 months gestation in registering for their ANC. Mothers who were more educated, had previous infertility treatment or previous miscarriages were all more likely to achieve appropriate ANC initiation [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.66, 95% condence interval (CI): 1.05–2.62; aOR: 3.68, 95% CI: 1.50–9.04; aOR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.16–2.79, respectively]. Women with anxieties about childbirth were less likely to achieve appropriate ANC initiation (aOR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.34–0.85). Conclusion: Half of the pregnant women in this study did not achieve the global consensus guidelines on appropriate ANC initiation. Better counselling for the less educated women and those with previous pregnancy complications and childbirth anxieties are recommended to ensure appropriate ANC initiation and better outcomes.
ULTRASOUND FEATURES OF ANTENATAL MIDGUT VOLVULUS PRESENTING AS AN OBSTRUCTION IN 24 WEEKS FETUS: A RARE CASE REPORT
Authors: Jacqueline Saulam , K Harish , J Divya , Shetty Amritha
Published: June 2023

Mid- gut volvulus is an embryological abnormal xation of small bowel mesentery that commonly occurs during fetal development leading to ischemia of the involved intestine if not intervened. It is a rare and life-threatening condition that is difcult to diagnose in the prenatal stage. It is usually diagnosed at 27 weeks of gestation, but our case is reported at 24 weeks of gestation. A fetus of 26 years old primigravida with 24 weeks of gestation was discovered to have mid-gut volvulus with small bowel obstruction and absence of peristalsis on ultrasonographic examination antenatally. Ultrasonographic signs showed the presence of extensively dilated loops of bowel in a coffee bean shape and anatomic position reversed between the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA), as a sign of malrotation. Moreover, the presence of a "whirlpool sign” (wrapping of SMV and mesentery around SMA) was evaluated on color doppler. Close prenatal follow-up, appropriate delivery, and timing of therapeutic intervention may signicantly lower morbidity and mortality.

Numerical Stability of Dual Full-Wave Formulations with Electric Circuit Element Boundary Conditions
Authors: Ciuprina Gabriela , Sabariego Ruth V,
Published: June 2023

There are several ways of coupling field and circuit models but, in our opinion, the most natural one uses Electric Circuit Element (ECE) boundary conditions (BC) for the field formulation. In our previous work we have  successfully implemented full-wave (FW) frequency-domain E- and H-based formulations with ECE BC in the finite element method (FEM). Our interest was only in high frequency (HF) FW applications. At HF these formulations with an unknown field strictly inside the domain and a scalar potential with support only on the boundary, are stable and accurate. Motivated by the current desire of having all-purpose Maxwell’s solvers at hand, in this contribution we investigate their numerical stability when used at very low frequencies (LF). We show that these FW formulations can be used at LF provided that techniques to ensure the numerical stability are applied. If only global (energy based) stability is sought for, then just using the excitation which is essential for FEM might be enough. If a local (field spatial distribution) stability is needed, we show that scaled hybrid versions of these formulations ensure LF stability. Results are shown for 5 models of increasing complexity: a homogeneous cylinder (2Daxi/3D), a coaxial cable (2Daxi /3D), a coplanar waveguide (3D).
SuRFR: A Fast Recursive Simulator for Soft Manipulators with Discrete Joints on SE(3)
Authors: Samei Hossain , Chhabra Robin
Published: June 2023

We develop a fast, recursive and parameterization-free formulation for forward and inverse dynamics of soft robots modelled as multi-body systems with rigid and flexible bodies. The system is composed of bodies serially connected with discrete single-degree-of-freedom joints from a fixed base. The joint kinematics is captured through the exponential map of the Special Euclidean group SE(3). We couple the Newton-Euler equation for rigid bodies and a set of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) on the SE(3) for dynamic Cosserat rods to formulate the dynamics of multi-body systems. Our proposed inverse dynamics recursively determines the system’s response as well as the required joint torques to follow a prescribed joint-space trajectory; while the forward dynamics inherits the same structure and determines the system’s motion for given joint torques. Unlike rigid multi-body systems, where the kinematic and dynamic recursions are decoupled, the inclusion of flexible bodies necessitates solving a coupled set of PDEs with applied separated Boundary Conditions (BCs). We develop a shooting-method-based BC solver to move BCs to one point and a numerical framework to integrate these equations. The framework adopts a fast finite difference method to semi-discretize the PDEs and transform them into ordinary differential equations, which are integrated using a geometrically exact integrator on the SE(3). Subsequent to the validation against multiple packages, we implement the proposed algorithms and study the dynamic response of an example. A software library, named SimUlator for Rigid-Flexible Robots (SuRFR), to simulate generic rigid-flexible multi-body systems, including the presented example, is distributed.

The Extracellular Vesicles: Their Role and Future in Reproduction and Embryonic Implantation
Authors: Osazee Kehinde , PW Alabrah
Published: June 2023

Intercellular communication is an integral part of the physiological process in a living organism. Evidence has shown that a significant amount of human protein-coding genes is endowed with the production of membrane and secreted protein types. Some of these proteins possessed post-translational influence that interferes with cellular functions. Recently the concept of cell communication gravitated to the use of membrane-bound particles called Extracellular Vesicles (EVs). EVs are released from the host cell and impact on the recipient cell through its contents (Cargo). The cargo contains various particles such as lipids, proteins, RNA, and glycolipids derived from the host cells. The current widespread research in EVs has brought its mediating role in physiological and pathological processes to limelight. Though the regulatory part of EVs has been widely embraced by researchers, the discrepancy associated with its collection and isolation as well as its analysis has remained a subject of debate in the literature. The facts emanating from the literature suggest that EVs, with its prospective application in Reproductive biology, has prompted extensive research in the last decade. Its knowledge has broadened the scope of understanding the physiology and pathology scenarios involved in reproductive processes. As a potential biomarker, it has become a valuable tool for diagnosis, prognostic, and therapeutic purposes, especially in the context of reproductive processes. However, the challenges of standardizing the isolation, purification, and analyzing EVs have remained a nightmare that need to be surmounted. Emerging evidence has demonstrated its impact in gamete development, fertilization, and embryo implantation. Thus, it could serve as a platform to understand the mechanism of conception and implantation. By extension, define a therapeutic approach for women with recurrent pregnancy loss.
Causes of Delay in Construction Projects in Nepal
Authors: Bhattarai Mahendra
Published: June 2023

Nepal, a developing nation with a population of over 29 million, heavily relies on the construction sector for its economic growth and development. However, delays in construction projects have adversely affected the country's national economy. This research aims to identify the main factors that contribute to construction project delays in Nepal and proposes solutions to address these issues. A detailed descriptive analysis was conducted by reviewing six selected journals. The findings indicate that inadequate planning, weak monitoring, poor site conditions, design changes, lack of construction materials, equipment, and manpower, low bidding of contracts, unrealistic contract durations, lack of coordination among team members, variation of quantities during project execution phases, climate change, inflation, natural calamities, rapid changes in government, strikes, holidays, insufficient budget allocation, and political and governmental issues are the primary causes of construction project delays in Nepal. These delays have significant implications for Nepal's economic growth and development. For example, delays in the construction of critical infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, can hamper access to essential services, hinder trade and commerce, and result in delayed project delivery, increased project costs, negative impact on the project's reputation or impression on donor agencies, stress among concerned authorities, negative impacts on economy and society, strained relationships, and communication breakdowns. To address these issues, all stakeholders, including the government, contractors, and project owners, must be involved in implementing the recommended solutions. The proposed solutions include improving planning and monitoring, ensuring availability of materials, equipment, and manpower, enhancing coordination among team members, realistic contract bidding and duration, and addressing political and governmental issues. The findings of this study have implications for other developing countries facing similar challenges in the construction sector. By implementing the recommended solutions, Nepal can overcome these obstacles and achieve its infrastructure development goals, promoting economic growth and improving the quality of life for its citizens. In conclusion, this research highlights the need for a coordinated effort by all stakeholders to address construction project delays in Nepal, which is critical for the country's progress and development.

Published: June 2023

This study aimed to compare neuronal function in the lower limbs of elite footballers and an age-matched control group. Conduction velocity, response latency and amplitude following electrical stimulation were investigated. Thirty male football players and 30 untrained males comprised the subject and control groups, respectively. We showed that professional football players have significantly slower sural nerve conduction velocity than untrained controls (p<0.05). Although we found no signs of neuropathy, mild changes in nerve conduction velocity were evident in the sural nerve of the players. Motor conduction velocity of tibial nerve was also significantly prolonged in this group when comparing dominant and non-dominant extremities (p<0.05). The tibial nerve muscle action potential amplitude was lower in the players’ dominant limbs compared with the controls (p<0.05). We found no statistical difference in motor conduction velocities, distal latencies and amplitudes of the common peroneal nerve when comparing players and controls in both dominant and non-dominant limbs (p>0.05). Our results showed abnormalities of function in the sural and tibial nerves in football players compared with untrained controls, which may indicate early signs of neuropathy.

Equivalence of 'Lamma' in the Holy Quran Translations
Authors: Asst. Prof. Najat Abdul Muttalib M.Jawad
Published: June 2023

'Lamma' is chosen as an example of having or not equivalence or equivalences in four English translations of the H. Quran. Dealing with it semantically, 'Lamma' as an adverbial noun or a particle (conjunction) has certain meanings in Arabic grammar. It has more than one type that carries different meanings. Assessment of rendering 'lamma' relies on Nida's (1964) types of equivalences (formal and dynamic); both kinds are reflected in different terms by Newmark’s (1988) type of translations, i.e. semantic and communicative. The aim of the study is to investigate the translation of these types and  to high light the differences in the translations as well as to detect the equivalences of 'lamma' in English.The research is trying to answer the following questions:  Have the translators succeeded in rendering the grammatical meanings of 'lamma'? and how they tackle the difference in meanings. Are renderings of 'lamma' different from one translator to another; is that depends on time (old or modern), or culture (Muslim or Christian, Knowing Arabic (the source language) or not. Relatively speaking, translators have found a formal and dynamic equivalence of 'lamma' as far as the meaning is clear, as in the first type of 'lamma'. However, when the meaning of 'lamma' is not clear enough, as in the second and third type of 'lamma', the translators didn't grasp the whole meaning of 'lamma'. Moreover, rarely there are differences between the translators concerning their time and culture.

Linguistic literacy is one of the learning outcomes that language education seeks to achieve because it works to develop students' awareness and understanding of all aspects of the language, and it also enables students to use the language with skill, and provide them with a linguistic wealth that develops the ability to communicate effectively in different life situations, as well as enlightenment Linguistically students avoid avoiding linguistic errors, and is an indication of the judgment of students' levels, as it gives them the ability to control the language, and to view the grammar as a tool for understanding the language and its taste and a means to ensure the integrity of the linguistic performance, not as dry and complicated rules. An analytical descriptive approach is used to suit the nature of this research.
English Intensifiers as Devices of Emotional Enhancement
Authors: Asst. Prof. Nada Aziz Yousif AL-Muttalibi
Published: June 2023

Intensifiers are adverbials or adverbial phrases that are used to enhance the meanings of certain constructions. The study aims to investigate English intensifiers and their functions as devices of emotional enhancement .Moreover; they identify students with this grammatical item. The significance of the research is that intensifiers function as linguistic devices to maximize the meaning or, in a certain sense, intensify the emotional tone of words and expressions. Some commonly used intensifiers include very, too, at all, absolutely, extremely, really, wh-words or expressions, etc. e.g. what on earth are you doing? In terms of their semantic classes, intensifiers can be divided into Amplifiers, Emphasizers and Downtoners. The problem of this research is that the students find it difficult to comprehend the functions of English intensifiers. In terms of the method used in this research, the researcher tries to give a detailed analysis of the most common English intensifiers. An exercise relevant to the topic is adopted to enhance the research. The analysis of the results reveals that the third-year Iraqi college students succeed in operating intensifiers in a way that shows their ability to handle this grammatical item.

Authors: Мусаева Р.А. , Эхаева Р.М.
Published: June 2023

В данной статье мы привели обобщение теоретических положений о сущности и условиях педагогической поддержки адаптационного периода учащихся начальных классов в образовательной среде. Также в статье приводятся примеры исследований, свидетельствующих о существовании разных подходов к толкованию понятия «адаптация». Изучив и проанализировав психолого-педагогические и философские источники, мы конкретизировали значение терминов «адаптация учащихся начальных классов», «педагогическая поддержка» и «педагогические условия эффективной адаптации учащихся начальных классов». В данной статье педагогическую поддержку адаптационного периода младших школьников в условиях образовательной среды рассматривают как многогранный процесс, обусловленный личностью педагога и школьника, целями учебного процесса, ценностными установками, принципами, формами и средствами образовательно-воспитательного процесса. Также, проанализировав научную литературу, мы заключили, что адаптация – это сложная система мероприятий, нацеленных на то, чтобы дети овладевали новыми формами деятельности, правилами поведения, нормами общения. В ходе адаптации социальный статус ребенка меняется.
ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННОЕ ВРЕМЯ В ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЯХ Ф.М. ДОСТОЕВСКОГО
Authors: Лабазанова М.В. , Садулаева М.Х.
Published: June 2023

Творчество Достоевского носит особый характер. Сюжетно-фабульное время всех пяти самых зрелых и завершающих романов Достоевского заключено в тесные пределы неполных десяти лет. У Достоевского особое отношение к времени, благодаря его художественному переживанию времени возникает новый метод воспроизведения времени в искусстве. Прошлое не было для Достоевского областью, подведомственной только историкам. В своеобразной концепции времени, выработанной Достоевским-художником, жило сознание закономерности сущего. Достоевский считал, что именно сквозь невероятное и неправдоподобное, разрывающее монотонность обыденности, прорываются наружу и дают себя подсмотреть управляющие миром надличностные законы. Художественное время Достоевского показывает, какие огромные возможности таятся в реализме и каким оригинальным и могучим реалистом был в своем искусстве писатель. Включение художественного мира Достоевского во вневременную, метафизическую вечность не соответствует ни текстам, ни смыслу его произведений, да и самосознанию его как художника. Вечность, в которой все сосуществует в застывшей божественной неподвижности, вечность, которая стоит, чисто мысленная категория, не имеющая ничего общего с реальной вечностью, как наполненной бесконечностью текущего, движущегося времени.
КОРРЕЛЯЦИЯ СЕМАНТИЧЕСКОГО И КВАНТИТАТИВНОГО АСПЕКТОВ БИБЛЕЙСКИХ ФРАЗЕОЛОГИЧЕСКИХ ЕДИНИЦ НА ОСНОВЕ МАТЕРИАЛОВ АНГЛОЯЗЫЧНОЙ СЕТЕРАТУРЫ

Фразеологизмы являются уникальным пластом английской лексики, способные экспрессивно и емко передать мысль, информацию. В связи с этим исследование данных языковых единиц всегда актуально. В настоящей статье основное внимание уделяется фразеологизмам библейского происхождения. Приводится теория о данных единицах и проводится исследование на предмет корреляционной зависимости квантитативных и семантических аспектов библеизмов. Материалами исследования послужили сетевые литературные тексты, находящиеся в открытом доступе. В ходе исследования была установлена прямая зависимость распространенности фразеологизмов от их семантической прозрачности. В качестве причин, объясняющих данное явление, называется стремление английского языка к упрощению.

ASSESSMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH GASTRIC CANCER IN UKRAINE
Authors: Zub Valeriy , Manzhalii Elina
Published: June 2023

The aim: To identify the main problems in the quality of life of patients with gastric cancer to optimize health care for them.
Materials and methods: The sociological study was performed by surveying 404 patients with gastric cancer usage questionnaires EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-STO22. Calculations were performed according to the EORTC QLQ-C30 Scoring Manual and QLQ-STO22. The analysis of three main indicators was performed: functional scale, symptom scale and quality of life scale.
Results: The quality of life of gastric cancer patients amounted to 51.80±11.35 on a 100-point scale. According to the QLQ-C30 functional scale, the psy¬cho-emotional sphere (59.62±12.91), social functioning (66.42±13.48) are the most impressive in patients. According to the results obtained in the QLQ-C30 symptoms scale, gastric cancer patients were most concerned about financial difficulties (57.18±12.45) and fatigue with a score of 50.12±10.86 on a 100-point scale. According to the QLQ-STO22 symptom scale in the study of patients, anxiety (59.07±12.46) and hair loss (56.97±11.78) amounted to the highest scores.
Conclusions: Given the low quality of life of gastric cancer patients, they need psychological support, which is aimed at adapting to the manifestations of the disease and should be a mandatory component in the development of models or strategies for providing medical care to cancer patients. Standardized psychological care should be organized at all stages of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation in all institutions that provide treatment to gastric cancer pa¬tients. It is also important to develop and implement a comprehensive program to support gastric cancer patients in interaction with society, family and work.

The aim: To analyze the results of inflammatory and immunological parameters of the oral cavity after cystectomy with different methods of connecting the edges of the operated area.
Materials and methods: The research was conducted in 87 patients who sought surgical treatment of odontogenic cysts of the jaws. Patients were divided into groups depending on the method of wound closure after surgery. We analyzed the results of laboratory tests (leukocytes, ESR, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-8, NO synthase, MMP-9).
Results: The analysis of the effectiveness of using different methods of approximation of the oral mucosa wound on inflammatory and immunological pa¬rameters showed that when using welding of the edges of the operated area using the EKVZ-300 “Patonmed” apparatus, we get positive results of laboratory indicators of inflammatory markers faster (leukocyte counts are normal on day 30, ESR, IL-1β – on the 14th day, TNF-α – on the 7th day, IL-6, IL-8, NO synthase, MMP-9 – on the 30th day), that is, healing in such patients is faster than in patients with wound closure with classic suture material or laser.
Conclusions: When comparing the methods of approximation of postoperative oral mucosa wounds by different methods, based on the results of these inflammatory and immunological parameters, the best results were obtained when using electric welding of tissues. Further research and use of the proposed method will facilitate and shorten the rehabilitation period of patients after surgery.

Published: June 2023

The aim: The present study aims to study the effect of DMF on ciprofloxacin-induced liver damage as assessed by liver function and liver pathology and to study this effect if it is thought to activate the Nrf2 antioxidant defense mechanism.
Materials and methods: G1 (control), G2 (ciprofloxacin group), G3 and G4 (two DMF groups rats treated with DMF 50mg and 100mg), and G5 and G6 (two DMF groups rats treated with DMF 50mg and 100mg) (two ciprofloxacin Plus DMF at 50 mg and 100 mg). The tests included study of liver function, Nrf2 analysis, and anti-oxidant enzyme analysis.
Results: The serum blood Nrf2, HO-1, and tissue anti-oxidant enzymes all increased after ciprofloxacin treatment. The serum levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 were higher in the ciprofloxacin plus DMF groups, but anti-oxidant enzymes were lower. DMF increased Nrf2 expression in rats when ciprofloxacin caused hepatotoxicity.
Conclusions: DMF lowers experimental hepatotoxicity in vivo. This effect is thought to activate the Nrf2 antioxidant defense mechanism.
ENSURING THE RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE FOR GROUPS VULNERABLE TO HIV IN PENITENTIARY INSTITUTIONS AND PRE-TRIAL DETENTION CENTERS IN UKRAINE

Published: June 2023

The aim: To consider the problems of penitentiary health care for groups vulnerable to HIV in penitentiary institutions and pre-trial detention centers in Ukraine, and to determine the state of implementation of the rights of prisoners to health care.
Materials and methods: When writing this article, the authors used a number of scientific and special study methods: regulatory method, dialectical method, statistical method. We also conducted an anonymous survey of 150 released persons from penitentiary institutions and 25 medical workers from 7 penitentiary institutions and correctional colonies in different regions of Ukraine to assess the quality and availability of medical care for convicts vulnerable to HIV infection, tuberculosis, and viral hepatitis.
Conclusions: The right to health-care of convicted prisoners must be ensured in compliance with the principle of free choice of specialist according to health-care law, health-care standards and clinical protocols (in other words, amount and standards of health-care available for prisoners must be the same as that available for other people).
In practice prisoners are thrown out of the national health-care system, and the Ministry of Justice is unable to meet all needs. This can have a disastrous result as the penitentiary system will produce sick people who pose threat for civil society.

Salah satu permasalahan terbesar pada anak autisme adalah gangguan interaksi sosial yaitu individu tidak dapat berkomunikasi secara ekspresif. Interaksi sosial merupakan bagian yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dari kehidupan manusia. Dampak negatif dari terganggunya interaksi sosial adalah frustasi karena anak tidak mampu mengungkapkan keinginan dan perasaannya. Terapi bermain merupakan salah satu pendekatan untuk mengurangi gangguan interaksi sosial tersebut. Media sangat penting untuk membangun motivasi anak dalam belajar dan berkomunikasi. Flash card telah terbukti dapat meningkatkan interaksi sosial anak autisme dengan cara bermain. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan asuhan keperawatan anak pada kasus anak autisme yang mengalami gangguan interaksi sosial dengan penerapan terapi bermain flash card. Metode penelitian adalah studi kasus pada dua orang subjek anak autisme dari SLBN Musi Rawas. Terapi bermain flash card dilakukan selama lima hari. Evaluasi subtest bahasa dan interaksi sosial menggunakan instrument ATEC (Autism Treatment Evaluaation Checklist).
