Antibiotic Resistance in Present Era
Authors: Mehboob Riffat
Published: April 2022

The antibiotics are an essential group of therapeutic drugs used to kill bacteria on various levels in the human body. These antibiotics had played a significant role for the treatment as well as the prevention of bacterial infections. The effectiveness of antibiotics against bacterial infections cannot be denied. However, an overuse and misuse of antibiotics, the current poor hygiene and contamination control mechanisms have lead to the improvement of antibiotic resistance.

Anti-microbial or antibiotic resistance is an international public health issue, greatly dominant in the developing countries. Antibiotic resistance is a bacterial adaptation, which allows bacteria to persist regardless of the presence of antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is a significant risk to human health and is being seen as a global environmental and economic risk. The relationship between bacterial resistance and misuse of antibiotics had been well documented, and was considered to be a major public health problem.

Antibiotics are important to treat the bacterial infections but inaccurately prescription, misuse and overuse of antibiotics are elevating the antibiotic resistance. It is still a significant health problem in developing countries where not many hospitals have facilities for microbiology of clinical isolates which can assign to blind treatment. Change in the bacteriological profile due indiscriminate use of antibiotics has been associated with the appearance of multiple drug resistance strains. Information regarding the antibiotic susceptibility profile is essential in the selection of the most appropriate treatment and can minimize the antibiotic resistance.

Preventive measures should be implemented in true sense to control antibiotic resistance. “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” and hence, clean surroundings as well as clean hands should be ensured. Soaps should be used for hand washing frequently. Awareness campaigns should be promoted and self-medication should be avoided. Antibiotic susceptibility investigations should be carried out for suspected bacterial infections.
Human Papilloma Virus
Authors: Rafi Uzma
Published: April 2022

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a small DNA virus composed of an icosahedral viral particle. It has a genome of 8000 base pairs approximately surrounded by a protein capsid [1]. In sexually transmitted infections and veneral diseases including vaginal intercourse, oral sex and anal sex, HPV has become more common in adults and accounts for 11% of cancer incidence in women worldwide [2]. It has become more common in sexually transmitted diseases. There are many types of HPV that are specific for specific diseases, but HPV type-16 is associated with HNSCC [2]. HPV has genomic DNA and almost 15-20% of HNSCC has the genomic DNA which is present in HPV.

            The distribution of HPV positive oropharyngeal cancer is highest in the tonsils, not frequently in the hypopharynx and very rare in the oral cavity. In tonsils the HPV DNA is found in 45%-67% of the cases, in hypopharynx the HPV DNA is found in 13%-25% of the cases and in the oral cavity and larynx the rate is 12%-18% and 3%-7% respectively. This shows the variation of HPV infection with the site of the tumor [3]. Detection of HPV in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma depends on the methodology used and type of tissue examined. Yield of HPV DNA extracted from oral samples is usually low and hence, it is very important to adopt sensitive and accurate techniques. In many studies HPV is thought to cause infection in stem cells within the basal layer of mucosa [4]. HPV replicates in the basal cells of the stratified epithelium [5]. If we compare tobacco users and never-tobacco users, it is concluded from a study that increased risk of diseases are found in tobacco users with advanced HPV+OSCC than never-tobacco users [6].

Published: April 2022

The metals that are highly dense and toxic at low quantities are termed as heavy metals. These metals include Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Nickel, Arsenic and Silver etc. Among these metals Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium and Lead are considered most toxic to humans, animals and fish. Heavy metals enter the aquatic ecosystem through disposal of industrial, agricultural and municipal wastes and bioaccumulates in the food chain. Chromium is generally present in aquatic ecosystems between the range 1-10 µg/L which is highly toxic. Higher concentration of Chromium in aquatic ecosystem can result in accumulation in fish and have adverse effects on consumers’ health. Cadmium and Lead deposit on the gills of the fish and cause suffocation which may lead to death of the fish. Accumulation of Cadmium is generally associated with organ damage and anemia that results in death of the fish and its consumer. In the presence of Cadmium, the toxicity of Lead generally increases the toxicity drastically in Gambusia affinis.

Environmental pollution is one of the leading causes towards the rise of the neurological disorders. All types of pollutants whether biodegradable and non-biodegradable both contributes towards different neurological issues and affects human life badly. The effect of these pollutants even affects the baby in the womb. Other than this environmental pollutant is also responsible for causing other complex disorders such as cancer, diabetes, heart diseases and many more. Different types of environmental pollution such as air, water, land, thermal, sound, radiation etc. have different impact on the neurological health of the individuals. Disastrous conditions as well as the areas with poor hygiene and cleaning facilities are also linked with the presence of or growth of harmful microorganisms and these are the sites that are accumulated with heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury etc. Along with this noise pollution also affects our brain and nervous system and can cause complications even can cause depression among people. Similarly, the polluted water contains a number of pollutants and toxic metals which accelerates the process of aging and in longer term to cause neurodegenerative diseases. The role of nutrition is highly recommended in neurological disorders and complications as eating healthy diet and taking safety precautions in food preparations and proper handling of food in industries can decrease the chances of the occurring of such diseases. Concluding the facts of our study it has been seen that environmental pollutants triggers the oxidative stress and cause neurotoxicity and inflammation of the neuron cells which in longer term causes different neurodegenerative diseases.

Iron deficieny anemiais effecting more than two billion population on earth especially pregnant woman, infants and woman of reproductive. Iron plays a key role in the formation of red blood cells and reactions occurring in the human body. Food is one of the best and safe options to prevent and cure iron deficiency anemia. In the present study, we highlighted different foods with special reference to plant-based foods for the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia. Literature revealed that major cereal flours, cumin seeds, green leafy vegetables, moringa leaves, papaya with supplements, beet root, apples, pomegranate, bael, sugar molasses and berries are best sources of iron due to presence of ascorbic acid. Prebiotics and probiotics fortification can also increase the iron absorption in the gut by providing optimum pH for absorption. In addition to change in dietary patterns, fortification of major crops, flours and salt should be made mandatory by as in many countries. Moreover, Iron fortified formulas, complementary food, beverages, baked items (cookies) and confectionary are best ways to prevent and cure iron deficiency anemia in children and adults. Similarly, sugar molasses from sugar industry is one of the superabundant sources of iron which can be used as supplement for value addition.

Student-teachers' readiness and attitude towards utilization of information and communication technology in studying business education in colleges of education in Delta State were investigated in this study. A descriptive survey research design was employed in the study. The population for the study entailed 1, 318 NCE business education student-teachers from two out of the four colleges of education in Delta State. The sample size of this study constituted 659 NCE business education student-teachers from two colleges of education in Delta State, which was selected at 50% using the proportionate stratified random sampling. Mean scores and standard deviation were used to analyze data in this study and all hypotheses were tested on an alpha level (α) of 0.05 significance using a t-test. The findings revealed that student-teachers showcased strong readiness and positive attitudes towards utilization of the information and communication technology in studying business education in COEs in Delta State. However, the findings revealed that the student-teachers did not possess the requisite skills in different aspects of computer packages for utilization of the information and communication technology in studying business education in COEs in Delta State. From these findings, recommendations were proffered, and among them included that: the various institutional leadership in the colleges of education such as the Provosts, Deans, and Head of Departments (HODs), should support students' readiness and preparedness for the use of ICT in studying business education at the colleges of education. This can be achieved through ICT facility provisions, adequate funding, infrastructural development, and private sector support and encouragement.

Programas de Protección Nutricional de la Agenda Venezuela
Authors: Marco Papatterra España
Published: April 2022

Venezuela has become an asymmetric country, with great inequalities and family food insecurity is perhaps the most important nutritional problem. In 1996, the “Venezuela Agenda” began to be implemented, which has a social protection component, which includes 14 programs, to compensate the most disadvantaged population groups for economic measures. Objective. Describe and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Agenda programs, more linked to the nutritional situation. Materials and methods. It was based on the analysis of reports submitted by the executing agencies, an opinion poll conducted in Caracas, as well as interviews with program coordinators. The programs were examined: strategic food, family subsidy, school feeding, snack and school canteens, daily care homes and multi-homes. Results. The most common weaknesses are poor evaluation and educational support, poor coverage, overlapping beneficiaries, logistical and budgetary problems. Despite the strong investment of resources, the nutritional deficit in children under six years of age shows an upward trend, which reiterates that nutritional problems have multiple causes and require integrated social policies, stable over time and focused on the most vulnerable groups. Conclusions. This situation forces us to reconsider the programs based on their relevance, feasibility, cost-efficiency and impact and has reiterated the need for a decentralization process to grant more responsibility and decision-making power to state and municipal governments and to the organized community and achieve a greater impact on the target population and its context.

Education pour la paix: influence du style de communication des enseignants dans les relations que les élèves du primaire créent entre eux
Authors: Dalila Carolina
Published: April 2022

En établissant une comparaison entre les compétences d'autorégulation que les élèves développent dans le primaire démocratique, l'apprentissage actif et une école traditionnelle, une grande différence dans les styles de communication a été affichée par les enseignants. Parallèlement, des interactions sociales très différentes ont été observées entre les élèves. Il a été établi une relation entre les styles de communication choisis par les enseignants et l’effet qu’ils ont sur le comportement des enfants et les relations qu’ils créent entre eux. Cependant, les enseignants ne sont pas totalement libres de choisir la manière dont ils veulent communiquer, cela dépend également du type d'école dans laquelle ils travaillent. Chaque type d'établissement a ses propres principes, méthode d'enseignement et philosophie. Ils ont même une compréhension différente de la signification de l'éducation. Ceci est également décidé par la politique éducative actuelle dans chaque pays. C'est pourquoi deux lois différentes de l'éducation (espagnole et écossaise) ont été analysées. Cette étude est une recherche qualitative et non expérimentale ou ex post facto, dans laquelle les variables vont être étudiées dans leur contexte naturel sans aucun contrôle sur elles. Une réflexion a également été faite sur les raisons pour lesquelles l'éducation alternative n'est pas légale en Espagne en comparant le système éducatif espagnol à celui écossais

Published: April 2022

Background/Objectives: Due to serious restrictions on mobility, some children might have increased exposure to THS due to home confinement. To characterize third-hand smoke (THS) exposure in children under 48 months at homes in Spain during the confinement of the first wave of COVID-19.Methods: Cross-sectional study of a non-probabilistic sample of parents (n = 311). The gathered information was about smoking status, second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure of their children, and voluntary regulation of tobacco consumption at their home. A variable of THS exposure at home was derived, classifying as ‘THS exposed’ those children whose parents reported living with a smoker or with smoking parents and non-exposed to SHS; ‘Non exposed’ children were, therefore, all other children.Results: Almost a quarter of the children (23.5%) were exposed to THS. This prevalence was significantly higher among those children whose parents increased tobacco consumption during confinement (40.5%), whose parents had lower or medium educational levels (42.9% and 41.7%), and with younger parents (24.8%). In contrast, the prevalence was significantly lower among those children living in homes with complete voluntary smoke restrictions (21.1%).Conclusions/Recommendations: To reduce THS exposure among children, it is important to work on information campaigns to raise awareness regarding THS exposure, promote recommendations to avoid exposure to THS, and develop legislation promoting smoke-free environments (in homes and vehicles).

This study aims to analyze the accuracy of receipts and mechanisms for disbursement of Tax Revenue Sharing funds and Non-Tax Revenue Sharing of the Jambi provincial government in the fiscal year 2015 - 2019. Research is quantitative by using secondary data from the Jambi Provincial Government Budget Realization report for the Fiscal Year 2015 - 2019. Based on the results of the analysis can be concluded that the accuracy of receipts using the formula of efficiency calculation between the budget/target with the realization of balance funds dagi tax revenue sharing and Non-Tax Revenue Sharing in the five years in Jambi Province is inaccurate so as to cause the realization far exceeds or less than the budgeted revenue, and the distribution mechanism is also not on time and often late for reasons of miscalculation so that it must be recalculated, this will result in delays and even unenforceable project activities for regional development.

In the present study the function of anterior chamber depth (ACD) changes in determining the refractive outcome after cataract surgery has been studied comprehensively. 210 successive adult patients going through unilateral cataract surgery (phacoemulsification by a single surgeon) were included in this prospective study. Depending on axial length patients were suitably classified into 3 groups: Group 1: <22 xss=removed xss=removed>26 mm (n = 70). Pre-operative and post-operative ACD were assessed on immersion ultrasound. The patients were arbitrarily reclassified into group A (≤1.7 mm) and B (>1.7 mm) based on mean ACD change. Post-operative emmetropic, myopic, or hypermetropic status was also determined in all patients. Mean ACD change in short eyes (Group 1), normal (Group 2), and long (Group 3) eyes was 1.90 mm, 1.75 mm, and 1.45 mm, respectively. The Hyperopic shift was noted when the change in ACD was less than 1.70 mm and Myopic shift was noted when the alteration in anterior chamber depth was more than 1.70 mm. Short eyes were more prone to greater post-operative ACD changes as compared to long eyes. Assessment of pre-operative ACD and its subsequent changes after cataract surgery may help in predicting postoperative refractive error. The lesser amount of change in ACD may result in a hyperopic shift and a higher amount of change would result in a myopic shift. Keywords: Anterior chamber depth, Axial length, Myopia, Hypermetropia, Cataract surgery.

Heel pain is the most common ailment of foot, affecting 10% of population including both younger as well as elder people. It also affects the lifestyle of these patients. Plantar fasciitis is one of such conditions which can cause heel pain. Plantar fasciitis is the result of inflammation of plantar aponeurosis due to its attachment on calcaneal tuberosity. Physiotherapy in form of soft tissue mobilization and stretching can be beneficial to achieve functional goals. The commonest sites for identifying this condition are: 1) Experiencing tenderness and pain in medial tubercle of heel bone 2) painful first step in morning and 3) Pain due to prolonged standing or weight bearing. Instrument Assisted Soft-tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and aggressive manual soft-tissue mobilization (AMSTM) are reported in improving soft-tissue mobility in individuals having plantar fasciitis. A 28-year-old female, diagnosed case of plantar fasciitis complaining of heel pain and difficulty in walking, underwent physiotherapy for 4 weeks, which resulted in reduction in pain intensity and increased foot and ankle’s abilities. This case report suggests that physiotherapy given in the form of IASTM led to improving the functional goals progressively and significantly which is a major aspect leading to a successful recovery.

Upper cross syndrome (UCS) refers to tightness of muscles such as pectoralis major, upper trapezius and levator scapulae and weakness of deep neck flexors, scalene, rhomboids, serratus anterior, middle and lower trapezius. Poor posture is associated with imbalance created in musculoskeletal system and common condition to be reported as upper cross syndrome. It is commonly seen in people with forward head posture, desk job workers, dentist, beauticians etc. The resulting clinical presentation is complaint of pain in neck and shoulder, cervicogenic headache, hunched upper-back and rounded shoulder. Children are not as proactive today and the rate of the UCS is on the rise. This deviated posture and sedentary lifestyle continues, where it progresses more as the age progresses in adulthood. To screen, detect, early treat as well as prevent upper cross syndrome in young individuals. Asymptomatic individual with 20-40 years of age group was explained about the procedure before commencement of the study. Posture was screened using REEDCO Posture Assessment Scale was used for evaluation. Assessment of muscle tightness and weakness was evaluated using muscle length tests and manual muscle testing. From the current study we conclude that prevalence of UCS is significantly less in asymptomatic individuals as compared to symptomatic. Although it is very important to practice good posture in daily routine in order prevent early signs of UCS. The parameters of outcome measures were analyzed by descriptive statistics only. Based on previous data we conclude that it is essential to screen asymptomatic individual to looks for signs of UCS for early detection, prevention and treatment.
