Authors: Cabideli Gabriel de Souza , Pietralonga Gabriel Petri , Castro Lucas Julian Tristão , Peruzini Thaís Marelli , De Pontes Mônica Barros
Published: August 2022

Introdução: Por constituir um contexto social e sanitário distinto, a abordagem das influências da pandemia da COVID-19 sobre o aleitamento materno torna-se fundamental para a compreensão do comportamento humano mediante a essa prática de extrema importância para o desenvolvimento do lactente. Objetivo: Verificar o conhecimento e a prática da amamentação de nutrizes no contexto da COVID-19. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, do tipo descritivo, realizado com nutrizes usuárias do Banco de Leite Humano, iniciada após prévia aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa e consentimento das mulheres entrevistadas. Resultados: A pandemia trouxe fragilidades na assistência direta ao binômio mãe/filho e isoladas vivenciaram muitas dificuldades no processo de amamentação. Apesar da insuficiência de conhecimento sobre o conceito de AME, as nutrizes foram convincentes quanto às vantagens da amamentação para saúde do lactente e buscaram novas estratégias para auxílio assistencial, tais como teleconsultas nos Bancos de Leite Humano, consultoras de amamentação domiciliar e lives profissionais. Conclusão: As limitações assistenciais dificultaram o acesso direto aos serviços de saúde, potencializando novas estratégias de informação e auxílio no manejo clínico da amamentação. A busca pelo conhecimento e apoio profissional pelas nutrizes foi valiosa para superar dificuldades e garantir as taxas de aleitamento materno exclusivo e oportuno no contexto da pandemia COVID-19.

Authors: Fleming Jesse Irvan , McLucas Alan Scott , Cook Bryan G.
Published: August 2022

Preregistration involves researchers publicly registering key study elements before conducting a study for the purpose of increasing transparency of research and limiting the use and impact of questionable research practices. To support special education researchers’ engagement with preregistrations, in this paper we provide an overview of preregistration and systematically review four preregistration registries (Open Science Framework, Registry of Efficacy and Effectiveness Studies, AsPredicted, ClinicalTrials). Each of the registry templates reviewed effectively addresses most questionable research practices and can accommodate a variety of research designs, with the exception of mixed-methods research. Among the benefits of Registry of Efficacy and Effectiveness Studies, Open Science Framework, and ClinicalTrials are the provision of highly specific templates and allowing users to update the preregistration when changes to the original study occur. Researchers can use this review to help select and use a registry that is appropriate for their study design and purpose.

Demandas tecnológicas: os bioinsumos para controle biológico no Brasil
Authors: Bortoloti Gillyene , Sampaio Renata Martins
Published: August 2022

Esse artigo tem por objetivo identificar características da participação dos bioinsumos para controle biológico no contexto fitossanitário brasileiro, explorando a agenda de debates sobre o modelo regulatório e o desenvolvimento de tecnologias em controle biológico. No Brasil, os agroquímicos formam o conjunto de tecnologias dominantes no controle de pragas e doenças das lavouras, porém, na última década, o controle biológico vem tomando espaço. Nesse cenário pautado por regimes tecnológicos distintos e imersos em pontos de contato, o desenvolvimento das tecnologias biológicas enfrenta obstáculos sociotécnicos. Dessa forma, são discutidos os argumentos tratados na legislação brasileira, posicionando-se as características dos produtos de origem química e biológica, e sendo analisadas informações relacionadas ao registro e consumo desses insumos agrícolas. Os resultados alcançados apontam que, ao longo dos anos, os órgãos reguladores têm procurado construir na legislação aportes para acomodar o registro dos bioinsumos para controle biológico, a exemplo do Decreto nº 4.074/2002, e também elaborar políticas de incentivo como o Plano Nacional de Bioinsumos, lançado em 2020. Além disso, foi possível observar o incremento concentrado no total de registros dos bioinsumos entre o consumo irregular dessas tecnologias, expondo, assim, a limitação das ações colocadas e a necessidade de integração das informações relacionadas a esse mercado.

Authors: Silva Louise Pereira , Santos Paula Rose De Araújo , Ribeiro Giusep Magno Da Silva , Medeiros Susane Eterna Leite , Silva Wallysson Klebson De Medeiros , Abrahão Raphael
Published: August 2022

Neste trabalho foi realizada uma revisão sistemática, utilizando-se palavras-chave, por meio dos bancos de dados de pesquisas científicas do Science Direct e do Web of Science, abordando-se os métodos estatísticos utilizados para avaliar tendências em dados climáticos históricos. Entre os artigos obtidos nesta seleção, no Brasil foi encontrado um estudo que analisou as tendências de parâmetros climáticos, avaliando o impacto no setor energético, em uma pequena central hidrelétrica e em uma usina solar. A regressão linear e o teste não paramétrico de Mann-Kendall associado ao declive de Sen foram os métodos estatísticos mais utilizados nas análises de tendências climáticas históricas. Comparados a outros, esses testes sofrem menos influência na presença de outliers. Os parâmetros climáticos mais estudados foram a precipitação e a temperatura do ar. Foi visto que poucos artigos abordaram as tendências climáticas em combinação com os impactos no setor energético, principalmente os que são baseados em recursos renováveis, que são os mais suscetíveis às alterações no clima, abrindo uma lacuna para mais estudos nessa linha.

Published: August 2022

O consumo de hortaliças é essencial para a qualidade de vida da população, especialmente em um período de crise sanitária provocada pelo novo coronavírus. Assim, este estudo objetivou analisar o impacto inicial da pandemia nos hábitos de consumo de hortaliças no Brasil, avaliando a relação da renda mensal com os principais fatores que nortearam os consumidores na hora da compra de olerícolas no Brasil. Para isso, no início da pandemia, foi aplicado um questionário por meio de Formulários Google®, difundido online por meio de aplicativos e redes sociais no formato de pesquisa de opinião. A análise estatística foi feita utilizando-se o teste qui-quadrado de modo a verificar a associação da renda com os fatores de tomada de decisão no consumo de hortaliças no Brasil. Os resultados indicaram que a renda molda o comportamento do consumidor e exerce impactos diferentes para determinadas olerícolas. Além disso, a qualidade se destacou como um fator mais importante do que os benefícios nutricionais na hora da compra de hortaliças, mesmo durante a pandemia de Covid-19 no Brasil.

THE IMPACT OF ELECTIVE DIAGNOSTIC LAPAROSCOPY IN DIAGNOSING CHRONIC ABDOMINAL PAIN
Authors: P Ramadoss , R Kannan. , J Lakshmi
Published: August 2022

Background: Chronic idiopathic pain syndromes are amongst the most challenging and demanding
conditions to treat across the whole age spectrum. Despite these patients having undergone numerous
diagnostic work ups, their pain remains a challenge to all known diagnostic and treatment methods. Objectives Of The Study:
To study the advantages of diagnostic laparoscopy in identifying the etiology of undiagnosed chronic abdominal pain.
Materials And Methods: Study Centre: Institute of General Surgery, Madras Medical College and Rajiv Gandhi Government
General Hospital, Chennai. October 2019 to October 2020. Single-center cross-sectionalDuration Of Study: Study Design:
study. All the patients who came to general surgery OPD during my one-year study period 35 {n = Z2 1-α/2 P (1-P)Sample Size:
/e2 P=3% e= 5% Z=1.96}. All cases of undiagnosed (by conventional methods and investigations such asInclusion Criteria:
detailed history, clinical examination, blood counts, urine examination, USG abdomen, Plain x ray abdomen) chronic
abdominal pain>3months duration of both sex. All cases of undiagnosed chronic abdominal pain in patients >14years of age.
Cases of clinically diagnosed chronic abdominal pain of >3 months duration not responding to the treatment given. Exclusion
Criteria: Results:Persons suffering from any kind of cognitive dysfunction are excluded from the study. All 35 patients
underwent Diagnostic Laparoscopy under General anaesthesia after all the conventional investigations did not yield any
diagnosis. 35 patients in the age group of 15 – 69 years were involved in the study with the average age of presentation being 35
years. 66% of the study population were females. The most common nding at laparoscopy in our study was postoperative
adhesions (51.42%). It was followed by patients who had a normal abdominal nding at laparoscopy (17.14 %) and recurrent
appendicitis in 14.28 %. The average duration of hospital stay being 5.5 days. Therapeutic intervention done at the time of
diagnosis relieved 70% of patients of their pain at the end of three months. DiagnosticInterpretation And Conclusion:
laparoscopy has an effective diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efcacy in the management of patients who present to us
with chronic abdominal pain especially in whom conventional methods of investigations have failed to elicit a cause for the
pain. Ability to pin point a cause for the abdominal pain or exclude a more major cause for pain not only avoids further
investigations but also plays a signicant role in alleviating the fears in the minds of the patients. Laparoscopy prevents
unnecessary laparotomy in a signicant number of cases. Diagnostic laparoscopy has a denitive role in the management of
patients with chronic pain abdomen and should be an important investigative tool in the armamentarium of all practicing
surgeons.

Authors: Velásquez- Falconi RE , Hernández FM Caldera- , y Nunes JJ Stern-Colín , Torres-Salazar QL
Published: August 2022

Purpose: For most of the pathologies that involve the female genital tract, pelvic sonography is an easily
accessible, cost-effective tool and should be considered as the initial study of choice. However, its
effectiveness depends on the operator ability and their experience demonstrated in its interpretation. A few studies exist that
demonstrate the sensitivity of sonohysterography as a diagnostic method for specic uterine pathologies. With the above, our
research question comes up: what is the sensitivity of sonohysterography for the diagnosis of benign uterine pathology?
Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, observational study of diagnostic sensitivity was carried out in patients who came to
the ofce for abnormal uterine bleeding or fertility problems and who required imaging conrmation for this pathology.
Sonohysterography and hysteroscopy with biopsy for histopathology were performed in all cases. A total of 42 womenResults:
were studied, with an average age of 36 years and a BMI of 24 ± 3 kg / mt2, who's the most frequent reason for consultation was
infertility (71%). The sensitivity of sonohysterography for the polyposis and uterine broids diagnosis was 93% and 85%,
respectively. We propose the possibility that sonohysterography can be used as an alternative procedure toConclusion:
hysteroscopy, leaving the latter as a conrmatory method. This is a method that is easy to perform, less invasive, less costly, and
is well-tolerated. Therefore, diagnostic hysteroscopy could be limited to an inconclusive Sono-HSG, raising the possibility of
replacing 89% of outpatient diagnostic hysteroscopies.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II, also known as Hunter syndrome, is a rare, progressive, multisystemic
lysosomal storage disease caused by deciency of iduronate 2 sulfatase, an enzyme responsible for the
degradation of the mucopolysaccharides dermatan (DS) and keratan sulfate (QS), causing their accumulation at the lysosomal
level. It is an X-linked disease, therefore it is common to nd most cases in men, rarely in women, it is considered an orphan
disease given an incidence of approximately 1/100,000 live births. Various phenotypes of severe (2/3) and attenuated disease
have been described. The diagnosis is based on clinical ndings and the measurement of mucopolysaccharides DS and QS in
urine, which are elevated, conrmed by determining the enzyme deciency in serum, leukocytes and broblasts. It has been
observed that in patients with enzyme replacement therapy somatic symptoms have decreased, however there are several
studies of alternative therapies in the future, including gene therapy as an alternative in the future.

Non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) which lies in the spectrum of the broader entity Non alcoholic fatty
liver disease (NAFLD ) is emerging as a common cause of chronic liver disease.All the patients with NASH
have elevated liver enzymes (almost two to three times the normal upper limit) and all of them have sonological abnormality
(hepatomegaly and /or fatty inltration). Aim of this study was to measure prevalence of Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
in patients of ischaemic heart disease and hypertension. So, study was conducted in General Medicine Dept until sample size of
75 was reached. All necessary laboratory investigations and clinical parameters were checked. Prevalence of NASH in total
study population with history of IHD and or HYPERTENSION is 12%.Conclusion we can say that, prevalence of NON
ALCOHOLIC STEATO HEPATITIS (NASH), in patients with ischaemic heart disease and hypertension is low, but there is strong
association of metabolic syndrome, with patients having NASH.

College and Hospital over a period of one year were included in the study. The mean age for both the groups 23±3Results:
years. Mean gestational age was 39weeks 4days for oral group and 39weeks 3days for the vaginal group. Hypertensive
disorders of pregnancy (35.82%) constituted the largest group of indication for induction of labour followed by postdatism
(26.37%). There was signicant difference in the 2 groups when indication for which induction was given was considered.. 84%
of women in oral group and 66.34% of women in vaginal group delivered vaginally. The mean induction to delivery time in oral
group was 14±6 hours and in the vaginal group was 17±6hours with a p value of 0.013 which was statistically signicant. The
mean number of doses in both groups was similar (3 with a SD of 1) with a p value of 0.467. There was signicant difference in
the incidence of caesarean sections between the two groups (4% in oral and 21.78% in vaginal group). The incidence of failed
induction was 4% in oral and 21.78% in vaginal group which was statistically signicant. Failed induction (54.54%) constituted
the most common indication for LSCS (16.67% in oral and 62.9% in vaginal group) followed by foetal distress (32.12%)
(83.33%in oral and 32.32% in vaginal group). It was concluded that oral route of administration of misoprostol wasConclusion:

Published: August 2022

Lichen planus is an idiopathic inammatory disease of the skin and mucous membranes. It was rst
introduced by Erasmus Wilson in 1869. Classical LP is characterized by pruritic, violaceous papules that
favor the extremities. Two thirds of the patients develop LP between the ages of 30 and 60 years, though the onset of LP occurs
most commonly during the fth or sixth decade. There is no racial predisposition. Men and women are almost equally affected.
Family history plays a signicant role as higher onset, higher relapse rate and more common involvement of oral mucosa is
seen in cases with positive family history. In this study we registered 30 patients with Lichenied skin lesions to study the efcacy
of Kadali tikshna Pratisaraniya kshar. The kadali used for making the kshar was the variety Musa balbisiana Colla. This variety
is commonly available and is used for cooking traditional food dishes in Assam. The kshar was prepared in Assam State
Pharmacy, Govt. Ayurvedic College & Hospital according to the classical method as mentioned by Sushruta in Ksharpakavidhi
adhyaya, Chapter 11. Kadali tikshna pratisaraniya kshar showed good effect on decreasing the itching and bringing back the
colour and texture of the skin. This study showed that kadali kshar can be used in Lichenied skin lesions like Lichen planus.

Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors having mature adipose
tissue. These lesions are the most common soft tissue tumor,
m a k i n g u p a p p r o x i m a t e l y 5 0 % o f a l l s o f t t i s s u e
tumors. Lipomas are mostly located within the supercial soft[1]
tissues of the extremities, back, and neck. These lesions are
asymptomatic, but due to the supercial location, these
lesions commonly present less than 5 cm in size. Lipomas[2]
deep to the supercial fascia also occur but are rare. These
lesions may be intramuscular or intermuscular and mostly
occur in the lower extremity. Following accidental trauma fat
necrosis can be seen, and the patient presents with pain at the
site of lipoma with discoloration of the skin. It can be
condently diagnosed on ultrasonography, without further
need for any investigation. Here, we are discussing USG,
Doppler, and Strain Elastography imaging ndings in a
pregnant lady having fat necrosis within axillary lipoma.
SUBVERTING JOSEPH CAMPBELL'S HEROIC IDEOLOGY: LUCIFER EFFECT – THE GOOD / EVIL DIVIDE IN THE PORTRAYAL OF RAVANA IN RAMAYANA
Authors: Reshma G. , Vanitha .A.
Published: August 2022

For centuries Ramayana has been the centre of contention for the critics with respect to deication of
Rama, epitome of virtue and defamation of Ravana, the king of the darkest kind. Joseph Campbell's
denition of a Hero resides with a person's heroic quest to achieve something that is beyond himself through his encounter with a
challenging enemy and his victorious return. Ravana, the antagonist, underwent a challenging quest and was unconquerable
until he was faced with his one tragic aw – his lust for Sita. Upon looking through the lens of deconstruction, this abduction
doesn't make Ravana the antagonist of the plot but actually a Tragic Hero of Aristotle. This Hamartia of Ravana was not implied
by him but was imposed upon him by the circumstances which make him a fallen hero – the Lucifer of Genesis. This paper aims
to apply Philip Zimbardo's Lucifer Effect theory to explore Campbell's ideology of heroism with reference to Ravana and also
attempts to answer the question whether Ravana is the greatest villain or is he actually a situational victim, who is outshined as a
villain by his tragic aw intensied by circumstantial pressures.
