Introduction. Promoting active lifestyles to maintain physical functionality in middle-aged women implies field assessments which could sometimes be considered subjective or problematic. The proposal was to analyze physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and physical fitness in perimenopausal women living in the urban area of Monterrey. Methods. An analytical and descriptive study that includes comparative and association aspects with a single measurement. A personal data form was applied, as well as accelerometry with an ActiGraph GT3X+ movement detector, the AMAI Socioeconomic Level Questionnaire, the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)-Long Form. Physical fitness was assessed in relation to strength in the upper limbs (dynamometry) and lower limbs (30 second Sit to Stand Test) in addition to balance (Unipedal Stance Test). Data analysis was performed with the SPPS software, version 21.0; with descriptive and inferential statistics considering a critical value of 0.05 for Cronbach's alpha. Results. According to the IPAQ report, 54.8% of the participants meet the global recommendations for health, whereas, with accelerometry, the result was 52.4% (p > 0.05). On average, the participants spend more than 850 minutes a day in sedentary activities. No differences were found between the self-report and the objective accelerometry measurement of PA and sedentary behaviors in the participants of this sample. In more than half of the participants, physical fitness is considered as of a low level for all the tests considered. The participants who are housewives presented more PA in their leisure time than those who work (p < .05). Excess weight exerted an effect on overall physical activity and on balance with the eyes open (p < .05). Conclusions. Perimenopausal women usually present excess weight, sedentary behaviors, and low level of physical fitness. In this sample, no differences were found between the self-report of PA and sedentary behaviors in relation to the accelerometry measurement. Promoting active lifestyles and physical assessment in the life stage is advisable to maintain physical functionality prior to old age.

Neuroglobin (NGB) is a protein with antioxidant and antiapoptotic activity against conditions such as oxidative stress, oxygen / glucose deprivation and neuronal apoptosis. Its presence has been documented in different brain areas including the midbrain, a site of key importance for global motor control by the presence of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra located inside and whose progressive loss culminates in the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder, Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a condition characterized by motor disturbances such as resting tremor, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia and deterioration gait and balance. There are few studies that inquire about the role of this protein in this disease, including its expression in the substantia nigra. The present study evaluated the presence of NGB in a murine model of PD induced by 6-OHDA injury using immunohistochemistry. The results show a significant difference of NGB aggregates in the substantia nigra in compared to controls (p=0.003) These findings provide the first in vivo experimental evidence of an adaptive NGB response in a model of PD, supporting its probable neuroprotective action in the main area involved in the pathophysiology of this disease.

Published: March 2022

Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is one of the most serious health problems worldwide since 25% of the population suffers from it and 80% of these are at risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. MS is defined as a series of metabolic abnormalities constituted by arterial hypertension (HTN), abdominal obesity, dyslipidemias, glucose intolerance and/or insulin resistance (IR). Proteins are long chains of amino acids and have a characteristic three-dimensional structure that is essential for their specific function. These are a source of bioactive peptides that can have beneficial effects on health. Bioactive peptides are small peptide chains composed of 2 to 15 amino acid residues, obtained by industrial food processing or during gastrointestinal digestion; after oral administration, they exert their beneficial effect on the cardiovascular, digestive, immune, and nervous systems. Therefore, the objective of this review is to describe investigations about the positive effects of different kinds and sources of protein, fractions, or peptides in MS.
Determinación precisa y nuevas aplicaciones del contenido troposférico cenital a partir de observaciones GNSS con TOMION
Authors:   , Graffigna Victoria
Published: March 2022

El retardo troposférico cenital (ZTD, por sus siglas en inglés -Zenith Tropospheric Delay-) es una de las variables que puede estimarse con GPS de mayor importancia a escala global por su estrecha relación con los parámetros atmosféricos que se involucran en el desarrollo del clima y del tiempo. Su correcta estimación depende de muchos factores tales como, la metodología utilizada y el modelo aplicado a las observaciones. En esta tesis abordamos la determinación de los parámetros de segundo orden dentro del término que modela al ZTD y su implementación en el programa TOMION v2. Las actualizaciones hechas con éxito comprenden desde la inclusión de nuevas incógnitas, la calibración de procesos estocásticos hasta el modelado del reloj del receptor GPS. El procesado de datos fue posible gracias a redes de estaciones de operación continua, lo cual ha mejorado drásticamente la habilidad de sensar la atmósfera de manera remota, sobre todo bajo el efecto de sistemas sinópticos, como por ejemplo un huracán. En este caso, hemos estudiado el huracán Harvey, que causó destrozos en Texas, EEUU, durante agosto de 2017. La aplicación sobre esta tormenta da resultados novedosos en relación a la orientación y la distribución de gradientes troposféricos de gran intensidad durante la evolución y desvanecimiento. También analizamos en detalle hasta donde los gradientes troposféricos estimados representan variables atmosféricas, haciendo una extensiva com- parativa con datos recolectados de ERA5, un repositorio de los más usados en el ámbito atmosférico. Finalmente, utilizamos la actualización al programa para estudiar la evolución de una Sudestada en el Río de La Plata en febrero de 2017 y su impacto sobre la coordenada vertical, el error del reloj del receptor y el ZTD. Concluimos que cuando queremos estimar cambios de corto período, es necesario que la estación cuente con un reloj atómico ligado al receptor GPS. En general, podemos decir que las actualizaciones en el marco de esta tesis al programa TOMION v2, fueron fructíferas para el estudio de eventos climáticos extremos, donde la determinación de los parámetros es aún más sensible al modelado. TOMION v2 puede ser utilizado para el modelado troposférico de alta precisión y bajo situaciones climáticas extremas.

Follow-up study on indoor radon levels in Irish schools after a National School Survey and remediation programme
Authors: Gunning Gillian , Fuente Marta , Gunning Robert , Long Stephanie , Finch Eric , Foley Mark
Published: March 2022

Background: A National Survey of Radon in Irish Schools was carried out by the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (formerly the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland) between 1998 and 2004. Then, a remediation programme was developed and implemented in the schools with elevated radon levels.

Objectives: To determine the durability of the remediation systems 10–17 years post-installation and to study the effect of radon awareness on follow-up programmes, radon retests were performed in 16 schools that had some form of remediation implemented.

Design: The schools were chosen based on the data of the National Survey for Irish Schools and the post-remediation survey. A total of 276 rooms were tested for radon using CR-39 etched track detectors supplied by the EPA. Short questionnaires were given to the school principals to gather information about the level of radon awareness, remediation maintenance and retesting policies.

Results: An increasing trend in the radon concentration with time was found in some schools. Potential factors contributing to this rise are lack of maintenance, lack of follow-up testing programmes and knowledge lost due to staff turnover. The results showed that 26% of the rooms which had remediation installed had risen to above the Department of Education’s reference level for schools of 200 Bq/m3 again and 10% to above 400 Bq/m3. Through case studies and questionnaires, radon awareness in schools was observed to be correlated with an ability to maintain radon concentrations below the reference level. Although the National Survey of Radon in Irish Schools is to be commended for its exhaustive completeness, many schools in this project were unaware of the remediation system installed. Only 15% of the schools in this study remember or have records of regularly checking or servicing their remediation systems.

Conclusions: Retesting for radon is crucial in indicating where remediation methods are less effective or have failed. A follow-up programme to retest for radon and to ensure maintenance of remediation systems should be implemented.

This study was conducted on 90 local quail females in six different treatments in order to know the effect of adding green tea powder to the quail diet on the productive, reproductive, biochemical and hormonal characteristics of quail females. The results showed a significant superiority of the birds of the group fed on 1% of green tea powder in hot and cold carcass weight, average egg weight, albumin weight, yolk height and color, and the lowest feed consumption, while the control-treated birds in the number of eggs produced, HDP, ALT, Alkaline and Bilirubin exceeded the other treatments birds. Concerning the lipid profile, blood urea ratio, and AST, the highest significant figures were recorded in the treatment of birds fed a ration to which 3% lipids were added. In contrast, the lowest values ​​for total cholesterol, Tri, VLDL, and blood nitrogen were recorded for birds of the treatment fed at 2% of green tea powder. The results showed that there were significant differences between the six treatment birds in the level of blood hormones, as the highest level of (estrogen), (Ghrelin, leptin, FSH), (T4) and (Growth and LH) were recorded for the control birds, 3% lipid and 1% dried green tea and 2% green tea with 3% lipid, respectively. We conclude from the above that birds fed a supplemented diet of 1% green tea powder were superior in most productive and reproductive traits, especially carcass weight, dressed %, egg weight and internal egg characteristics, compared to other treated birds.

Authors: Dutt Modi Prabhu , N. Hathila Bharat.
Published: March 2022

The aim of the study was to identify the optimal combination of clinical and laboratory parameters that should facilitate the emergency department surgeon's denite decision. The study group comprised 120 patients with suspicion of acute appendicitis (AA). In 60 patients the AAdiagnosis was conrmed intraoperative and by histological analysis. Clinical parameters included: appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea, dysuria, signs of localized peritonitis and pain migration. Measured laboratory parameters were: C-reactive protein (CRP), complete blood count (CBC) and the urine test strip. The control group of patients were more likely to present following symptoms: no changes in appetite (P < 0.001), diarrhoea (P = 0.009) and dysuria (P = 0.047). CRP and white blood cell count (WBC) were signicantly higher in the group with conrmed AA compared to the control group (44.7 vs. 6.6, and 13.6 ± 3.9 vs. 9.0 ± 3.4, respectively; P< 0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis identied lack of appetite (P= 0.013), absence of diarrhoea (P= 0.004), and positive nding of signs of localized peritonitis (P= 0.013), as well as WBCs (P< 0.001) and negative urine test strip results (P = 0.009) as statistically signicant predictors of AA. The highest percentage of correctly classied cases (82%) was achieved by combination of common clinical exam and basic inexpensive laboratory parameters (WBCs and urine test strip). Acute appendicitis in the emergency setting may be successfully ruled in based on elevated WBCs and negative urine test strip in combination with signs of localized peritonitis, lack of appetite and absence of diarrhoea. Since CRP did not contribute to the overall diagnostic accuracy, its use in AA diagnostic protocols is of no value.

Authors: Alblowi Salma Alajlan
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND Home-based light and laser devices are effective for the treatment of various dermatological problems
OBJECTIVES To systematically review and evaluate the efcacy and safety of commercially available home-based laser devices for various
dermatological applications
METHOD A comprehensive literature search was performed on Google Scholar and PubMed. Prospective clinical trials were included, while
animal studies, non-English articles, and studies that did not focus on home use or dermatological indication were excluded. A total of 675 articles
were identied regarding home use devices. After screening the articles for inclusion and exclusion criteria, 44 studies involving 1,951 participants
were selected, including 21 randomized control trials, 5 non-randomized controlled trials, and 18 case series.
RESULTS There was signicantly more evidence for the safety or efcacy of Intense pulse light, but this study focused on using home-based laser
devices. Most studies evaluated short-term hair reduction up to 3 and 6 months. Devices were found to be effective for short-term hair removal,
with side effects ranging from erythema and edema to blisters.
The use of laser for skin rejuvenation is based on the fact that laser-treated areas can have islands of healthy skin left behind, which accelerate
recovery. Patients who underwent treatment in a recent prospective, split-face study were evaluated by a blinded dermatologist and showed at least
a 1-point improvement in wrinkles, dyschromia, and diffuse redness in 75% of participants
Low-level laser therapy stimulates hair growth. Patients who used the device for 15 minutes per week for 26 weeks demonstrated signicant
improvement in mean terminal hair density and overall hair growth compared to the control group.
CONCLUSION Available information from current clinical trials indicates that home-based laser devices are adequate for the short treatment of
hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and hair removal. Additional controlled trials are recommended to better quantify the safety and efcacy of
available devices.

Physico-chemical study of soils of various villages was carried out based on different parameters like pH, Electrical conductance (EC), total
organic carbons (OC) and Available Nitrogen (N). An average of 10 representative samples were collected form each village and the nutrient
quality was analyzed using reported analytical techniques. Based on the result data the soil fertility index was calculated. EC and N showed low
fertility range while the soils were more of alkaline in nature. The OC was found in medium and high range. This fertility report may help the
farmers to predict the type and amount of fertilizer to be used during crop productions, which ultimately would be benecial economical
management of the farmers

Swyer-James-Macleod syndrome (SJMS) is an uncommon disorder of the lungs resulting in unilateral hyperlucent lungs and decreased bronchovascular markings. It is typically diagnosed during childhood, although occasionally some patients are diagnosed in adulthood as an incidental
nding. Pulmonary hypertension complicating this syndrome is very rare which poses a diagnostic dilemma and a challenge to manage such
patients. We describe this unique case report which was initially misdiagnosed as uncontrolled bronchial asthma and later turned out to be SwyerJames syndrome associated with pulmonary hypertension.

Today, Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy has become the gold standard treatment of gall stone disease. In the present era, where patient is more
concerned about cosmesis (specially females), lesser morbidity and early postoperative recovery, many newer techniques like single incision
laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC), natural orice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has been developed with minimum scar to no scar
on abdomen. The study was conducted on patients (n= 25) with calculous cholecystitis that underwent single incision laparoscopic
cholecystectomy using conventional instruments during 2011-12 at S.P. Medical College, Bikaner. Maximum number of cases (n=24) had very
satisfactory cosmetic outcome. It was concluded that single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) with conventional instruments and port
is feasible, safe, cost effective with excellent cosmetic results.

INTRODUCTION: Traumatic head injury can be mild causing a bump, laceration or contusion with or without a disturbance of conciousness. It
can be a moderate or severe injury depending upon clinical parameters of Post traumatic Amnesia (PTA) and/or a disturbence of Conciousness and
Presenting GCS . Oculomotor decit following mild Head Injury can be Considered in checklist while discharging the Patients, as it is one of the
commonest and important symptoms experienced by them. Several Studies have shown in Populations with contusions and neuronal injury that
vision and eye movements are closely tied to the functionality of the Brain. In our Study we found 31 patients out of 178 having changes in
visuomotor Performances. Optimal management of Patients that is used based on the type of injury and ndings according to institutional Protocol.
Most of the oculomotor Symptoms improved with Conservative management via regular follow-up.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To Study the frequency and various types of visuomotor decit in mild traumatic head injury, its co-relation and
further evaluation on the resolution of visual abnormalities in patients after 3 months.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study design is prospective and was conducted between January and December 2021 at Gauhati Medical
College and Hospital. The data of 178 patients were collected in the mentioned hospital and evaluation was done during the discharge and followup after 3 months. The signicance test was carried out using Pearson's Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact Test were conducted.
RESULT: It was found by Pearson's Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact Test that the number of patients having oculomotor abnormalities in mild
traumatic head injury is signicant (P<0.005). Moreover, 74.19% of patients showing oculomotor abnormalities had no Extraocular muscle
abnormalities during discharge which increased to 93.54% and the rest 6.45% of patients showed partial improvement. No patient was found to
have 4th nerve palsy, 83.87% of OM (patients with oculomotor abnormalities) patients had no 3rd nerve palsy during discharge which increased to
93.54%.
CONCLUSION: the study concluded that there is a signicant number of mild traumatic head injury patients with visual abnormalities which can
be resolved effectively by conservative management within 3 months. It is suggested that more follow-up and research required for more prompt
treatments.

Introduction: Emergence delirium is a state of aggressive delirium that can occur temporarily in the process of emerging from anaesthesia, and
occurs most often during the early stages of emergence1. Newer volatile agents like sevourane and desurane are said to have a 20-80% increased
incidence of adverse emergence effects when compared to halothane and isourane. This study was undertaken with the Aims And Objectives:
aim of prospectively comparing the incidence of emergence agitation between sevourane and desurane in pediatric patients. To compare the pain
intensity at 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours. To compare the time for tracheal extubation after discontinuing
volatile agents in both groups. This prospective randomized control study study was c Materials And Methods: arried out in 60 pediatric patients
between the age group 3-12 years undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia. Patients were randomized into the following 2 groups:
GROUP S - Anaesthesia was maintained with oxygen, nitrous oxide and sevourane (MAC 1). GROUP D - Anaesthesia was maintained with
oxygen, nitrous oxide and desurane (MAC 1). Comparison between Age, gender, ASA, weights, D Results: uration of Inhalation Exposure(mins),
Time for Extubation after discontinuing volatile(mins), PAED Score with Groups by Mann- Whitney U test, VAS Score with Groups by Unpaired ttest with Groups shows no statistical signicant association. Des Conclusion: urane has faster recovery from anaesthesia when compared to
sevourane in pediatric patients. Incidence of emergence agitation is comparable between both the groups although sevourane has a slightly
higher incidence of EA than desurane in our study.

PURPOSE: Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the worst complications of diabetes and can threaten sight. The aim of this study is to compare the
visual acuity outcome in proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR) with clinically detectable macular oedema after intravitreal administration of
either bevacizumab or ranibizumab.
METHOD: Data were analysed retrospectively in which 80 eyes of 64 patients were enrolled. They were divided into two groups by simple
random sampling, 40 PDR eyes treated with bevacizumab in group A and 40 PDR eyes treated with ranibizumab in group B. Visual acuities along
with basic demographic characteristics were noted down. The changes in best corrected vision(BCVA) and the number of injections required were
compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The study included 80 eyes of 64 patients, out of which 52 were phakic and 28 were pseudophakic.
At the end of 1 year, in Group A 10 eyes(25%) showed no changes in visual acuity, 29 eyes(72.5%) showed improvement between LogMAR 1.00 to
0.48 and 1(2.5%) showed visual acuity less than LogMAR 0.33. In Group B, 8 eyes(20%) showed no changes, 30 eyes(75%) showed improvement
between LogMAR 1.00 to 0.48, 2 eye(5%) showed visual acuity less than LogMAR 0.33 Group A and Group B showed similar efcacy after same
number of intravitreal injections administered and similar follow-up.CONCLUSION: Our results show that ranibizumab and bevacizumab are
more or less similar in terms of visual acuity outcome. At the same time bevacizumab is more cost-effective than ranibizumab. Further trials needs
to be done using bevacizumab. The success of anti-VEGF treatment depends not only on the treatment of active disease, but also on the prevention
of disease of disease worsening. Planning the next anti-VEGF injection treatment helps to minimize the possibility of delays in treatment. The
present covid-19 lockdown restrictions has affected in the treatment causing delay.
