Citrus nutrition: An Indian perspective
Authors:   ICAR-Central Citrus Research Institute, Nagpur, Maharashtra, SRIVASTAVA A.K.
Published: January 2023

Diagnosis and management of nutrient constraints are the two important pillars of sound citrus fertilizer program, although its history in India is as old as cultivation of citrus. Of the different diagnostic tools (leaf nutrient standards, soil thresholds of soil available nutrients, metalloenzyme activity, inflorescence analysis, juice nutrient standards, xylem sap analysis); leaf and soil-based nutrient standards have established their superiority over the rest of the diagnostic methods. Optimum leaf nutrients standards developed for different commercial cultivars in India have further warranted the necessity of identifying nutrient constraints through cultivar specific diagnostics in order to inflict precision diagnosis. Similar observations were envisaged through optimum soil fertility limits suggested for Indian citrus cultivars, primarily governed by prevailing soil fertility constraints. Multi-location nutrient specific field response studies lacked heavily on the point of uniformity in yield and quality improvements when replicated at other locations. Site specific nutrient management studies demonstrated soil type-based fertilization, suggesting the fertilizers to be tailored as per canopy size within an orchard to derive rationality in fertilizer use within an orchard. Fertigation has further reduced the optimum fertilizer requirement by 30-40%, in addition to microbial consortium-based integrated nutrient management saving 30% cut from conventional RDF. Many other significant advances have taken place to improve the fertilizer-use-efficiency e.g. sensor-based variable rate application, fertigation using magnetized irrigation, open field hydroponics, and dual purpose microbially loaded substrate (organic manure) enriched with limited inorganic fertilizers collectively known as INM a plausible alternative.

Authors:   National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning, Hebbal, Bangalore, M *CHANDRAKALA
Published: January 2023

A comparative study was carried out to assess the nature and characteristics of soils from two agro-ecological sub regions (AESU and AESR) from two states of South India. Using sentinel-2 satellite data, google imagery and top sheet, a detailed soil survey was taken up in AESU and AESR. Major soils from upland as well as from lowlands were compared to assess the soils heterogeneity. Results showed that there was a high heterogeneity between properties of soils AESU and AESR. Variability existed in climatic conditions (tropical humid region in AESU and semiarid condition in AESR), physiographic (valley plain to gently, very gently, moderate, steep and very steep slopes in AESU and levelled to gently and very gently slopes in AESR ), geology (charnockite and granite gneiss in AESU whereas granite gneiss in AESR), land use (rubber, paddy, coconut in AESU and paddy, mango, pigeon pea, groundnut in AESR), soil classification (Ultisols and Alfisols in AESU whereas Alfisols and Inceptisols in AESR) and land capability (soil and water conservation measures must in AESU and slope was manageable with agronomic management practices in AESR). Soils varied in texture (clay, sandy clay and clay loam in AESU whereas sandy clay loam to sandy loam in AESR), consistency and depth of soils (shallow to very deep in AESU and shallow to deep in AESR). Clay content (32.9 to 63.5%) was dominant fraction in AESU whereas sand (52.1 to 72.1%) was in AESR. Soil acidity (strongly acid to very strongly acid) was a major problem (both hydrogen and aluminium saturation) in AESU whereas slightly acidic to neutral and slightly alkaline in AESR. Organic carbon content was high (up to 25.9 gkg-1) in AESU whereas it was up to 10.0 gkg-1 in AESR. Base saturation was <35% in AESU and >75% up to 100% in AESR. Calcium carbonate equivalent is >5% in AESR and not a problem in AESU. CEC was low (<12 cmol (p+) kg–1) in AESU and good (>12 cmol (p +) kg–1) in AESR.

Authors:   Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, V RAJAGOPAL
Published: January 2023

Secondary soil salinization is a major issue for sustaining food grain production in arid and semi-arid region due to the use of poor quality saline water, whichneeds amelioration before to be used for crop irrigation.In this regard, totally 12 saline bacterial isolates from saline water ecosystem, of which three best isolates, namely C8, C10 and C12, identified and used for amelioration of saline water whose electrical conductivity value (EC) ranged between 0.5 and 8.0 dS m-1 over the incubation period of two, five and seven days under laboratory conditions during 2017-20. The C10 and C12 bacterial isolates were highly efficient recording more than 30 % EC value decline but microbial efficiency decreased with increased salt concentration. The five days incubation optimized with 20 % reduction of EC value. However, the biological amelioration of water salinity was highly specific that five days incubation with C12 culture recording amelioration nearly 64 % decline of EC value only in low saline water. In contrast, all the cultures were equally effective on every saline water studied lowering more than 38% in 2.0 dS m-1 saline water, more than 22 % in 4.0 dS m-1 saline water, more than 16 % in 6.0 dS m-1 saline water, and more than 12 % in 8.0 dS m-1saline water for two days incubation period. On the whole, the microbial techniques based saline water amelioration abated 30% reduction of EC value associated with declining of ionic concentrations, such as Ca2+ by 40 %, Mg2+ by 31 %, Na+ by 24 %, SO42- by 18.4 % and Cl- by 10.5 %. The reduced salt build-up and increased crop performance would be the implication and characterization of the isolates is suggested further studies.

Published: January 2023

A Pooled analysis was carried out to evaluate the general and specific combining ability effects in 9 diverse genotypes of bread wheat of diverse origin of cultivation, their 36 F1’s and 2 checks during Rabi 2020-21 at RCA, Udaipur in three different environments for grain yield and its component traits. Analysis of variance revealed the differences between parents and crosses for GCA and SCA, respectively due to GCA and SCA effects were significant for all the characters except days to 50 % flowering in E3 (GCA) on pooled basis. Similarly, mean squares due to GCA x E and SCA x E were significant for all characters revealed influence of environment on GCA and SCA, respectively. The variance due to GCA was higher than their respective SCA for all characters except spike length, awn length and harvest index indicated that additive type of gene action played role in the expression of all the traits. Among parents, DBW 173, HD 2967, GJW 463 and RAJ 4120 were exhibited significant GCA effects for grain yield and its component traits. Maximum significant positive GCA effects were exhibited by parent DBW 173 (1.80) over the environments. Among crosses, thirteen crosses recorded showed significant SCA effects for grain yield and its related traits. Cross, HD 2967 x DBW 173 was exhibited maximum positive significant SCA effects for grain yield and harvest index in the environments as well as on pooled basis. Cross, HD 2967 x DBW 173 depicted maximum SCA effects (4.00) followed by RAJ 3777 x RAJ 4120 (2.92) for grain yield over environments. Attempting cross combinations involving different parents with high GCA for desirable yield and other traits could be useful.

Published: January 2023

Field experiments were conducted at Bhubaneswar, Odisha during kharif seasons of 2018 and 2019 to study the growth behavior of rice varieties under nutrient management practices. Six treatment combinations comprising of three nutrient management (100% Soil Test Based Nitrogen Recommendation (STBNR), 75% STBNR + in situ green manuring (dhaincha) and 50% STBNR + in situ green manuring of dhaincha) and two rice varieties (Manaswinee of 125d duration and Hasanta of 145d duration) were tried in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The results showed that crop growth rate (CGR) was significantly influenced by both nutrient management practices and varieties. Pooled over the years, application of 75% STBNR + green manuring of dhaincha exhibited the maximum CGR of 11.33 and 20.80 g/m2/day during 30-60 and 60-90 DAT, respectively and which were superior to 100% STBNR and 50% STBNR + green manuring of dhaincha. Similarly, rice cv. ‘Hasanta’ recorded CGR of 10.98 and 20.42 g/m2/day during 30-60 and 60-90 DAT, respectively, which were higher over cv. ‘Manaswinee’. The maximum relative growth rate (RGR) of 23.77 mg/g/day was registered with 50% STBNR + green manuring of dhaincha, being at par with 75% STBNR + green manuring of dhaincha during 60-90 DAT. Application of 75% STBNR + green manuring of dhaincha recorded the maximum Net assimilation rate (NAR) of 3.41 and 4.26 g/m2 leaf area/day during 30-60 and 60-90 DAT, respectively. Both cultivars were equally effective for RGR and NAR. The treatment trend for physiological indices led to higher grain yield under 75% STBNR + green manuring of dhaincha among nutrient management practices and cv. ‘Hasanta’ between rice varieties. Grain yield and the three physiological indices were positively correlated, but the correlation coefficient values were significant for CGR and NAR.

What has the new 11th revision of International Classification of Diseases classification brought in the categorization of female sexual dysfunctions?
Authors:   Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2nd Medical Faculty, Charles University and University Hospital Motol, Prague, Czech Republic, Pastor Zlatko , Jonášová Mirka
Published: January 2023

In January 2022, the classification of female sexual dysfunctions under the new eleventh revision of International Classification of Diseases came into force. Its defi nitive integration into practice is expected after a 5-year transition period. The new nomenclature is based on a circular model of female sexual activity, eliminating the Cartesian-dualistic concept of separating individual pathophysiological entities with "non-organic" and "organic" etiology. Sexual dysfunctions are evaluated as a complex interaction of psychological, interpersonal, social, cultural, physiological, and by gender-related processes. The new 11th revision of International Classification of Diseases established clear criteria for symptomatology and duration of disorders according to duration, frequency, and exposure to distress. Female sexual dysfunctions may be diagnosed regardless of etiology. The system of qualifiers allows the identification of etiological factors related to health condition; psychological and mental disorders; use of psychoactive substances or medication; lack of knowledge or experience; relational, cultural or gender-related factors. This article summarizes the current situation in the classification of female sexual dysfunctions in a historical context and presents the modus operandi for clinical practice according to current classifications. Key words: hypoactive sexual desire disorder – orgasmic disorder – sexual arousal disorder – dyspareunia – vaginismus
A Comparitive Study on Brain Tumor Detection Methods using MRI Scans
Authors: Mansi Dhanania
Published: December 2022

A brain tumour is formed due to the overgrowth of abnormal cells inside the brain. There are several types of tumours that are broadly classified based on their cancerous properties as malignant tumours or cancerous tumours and benign tumours or non-cancerous tumours. They can either begin in the brain and be known as primary tumours or spread to the brain from another body part and be called metastatic. These tumour developments can be life-threatening if not detected and treated at an early stage. MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scans serve as the preliminary test to diagnose a tumour. Then, further analysis is done by the neurosurgeons for prescribed medical care and treatment in the future. About 40-50 thousand patients suffer from a brain tumour growth every year in India. Thus, it is crucial to enhance the efficiency of the health sector by automating tasks that require preliminary diagnosis to reduce the burden on doctors and provide critical patients with timely care and treatment. Hence, this project proposes to develop an algorithm to detect brain tumours from MRI Scans on MATLAB and also provides a comparison between the different models that can be implemented to perform this task. The proposed algorithms in this study reflect the importance of creating a system that directly detects tumours without the requirement of complex machine learning algorithms that require the use of training and testing data sets.

Published: December 2022

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) telah menyebabkan pandemi global. COVID-19 merupakan salah satu patogen yang menyebabkan gangguan sistem pernapasan sejak akhir Desember 2019 di Wuhan, Provinsi Hubei, China. Permasalahannya adalah pasien kanker lebih rentan terhadap infeksi COVID-19 sedangkan pasien memerlukan pengobatan yang rutin. Salah satu pengobatan penyakit kanker adalah kemoterapi. Efek samping kemoterapi berpengaruh terhadap menurunnya sistem imunitas tubuh pasien. Penurunan sistem imun mengakibatkan penurunan respons imunitas tubuh terkhususnya dalam mengatasi badai sitokin dan macrophage-activation syndrome yang disebabkan oleh SARS- CoV2. Penelitian terkait hubungan kemoterapi dengan kejadian infeksi COVID-19 belum pernah dilakukan di Indonesia. Tujuan khusus penelitian ini adalah mengetahui hubungan antara pemberian kemoterapi pada pasien kanker dengan kejadian infeksi COVID-19. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional analitik dengan rancangan penelitian kohort prospektif dimana pasien diteliti selama satu siklus kemoterapi. Sampel penelitian adalah seluruh pasien kanker yang menjalani kemoterapi di RSUD Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Samarinda selama bulan Oktober 2021 hingga Desember 2021.

Published: December 2022

La transformación que ha experimentado la Educación Superior durante los últimos veinte años ha supuesto numerosos cambios en los modelos formativos de las asignaturas de todas las titulaciones de las universidades españolas, públicas y privadas. Entre las metodologías educativas más frecuentes, el aprendizaje colaborativo ha cobrado una notable relevancia como estrategia potencial para impulsar el papel activo del estudiantado como agente crítico, reflexivo y responsable en su proceso de aprendizaje y adquisición de contenidos curriculares, así como en su desarrollo personal e interpersonal. En este sentido, el equipo docente del presente estudio asume el reto de diseñar e implementar en el contexto universitario una experiencia de innovación docente, en la asignatura de Psicología de la Educación incluida en al segundo curso del Grado en Psicología de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche (UMH) durante el curso 2021-22, y conocer la opinión del estudiantado. En este trabajo se presenta la estrategia de “Aprendizaje Colaborativo” unido a la utilización de e-rúbricas de autoevaluación y coevaluación a través de las Tecnologías de las Información, la Comunicación y el Ocio (TICO), tanto en la teoría como en la práctica de esta asignatura, justificando el interés de esta experiencia, presentando las bases que la sustentan, así como el desarrollo y procedimiento de la dinámica y evaluación durante el cuatrimestre. Finalmente, se realiza una valoración de la experiencia por parte del estudiantado, y se reflejan las limitaciones halladas en su implementación y las líneas de investigación-acción futuras.

Published: December 2022

La nueva era digital plantea a los docentes el reto de reestructurar las actividades académicas asíncronas convencionales en la educación superior a distancia. En este sentido, el presente trabajo se centra en la creación de narrativas digitales por parte de los estudiantes como un recurso de aprendizaje colaborativo mediado por el foro académico en línea, en una universidad ecuatoriana. El estudio presenta un diseño no experimental de tipo ex-post-facto y se analiza la perspectiva estudiantil en función de grupos de estudio y género de los participantes mediante un instrumento diseñado ad hoc. Se utilizó la prueba de U de Mann-Whitney para identificar diferencias estadísticas significativas entre de las variables de interés y se evaluó de forma general mediante un escalamiento multidimensional no métrico, el grado de similitud entre las percepciones de importancia de la narrativa, así como las habilidades de construcción según el género y grupo. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes lograron articular un relato reflexivo y analítico a partir de la evolución de las ideas de sus compañeros en el foro académico, y valoraron de forma positiva la creación de la narrativa con diferencias estadísticas según las variables analizadas. Esta contribución revela que las narraciones digitales generadas en el foro asíncrono se presentan como nuevos escenarios para motivar la interacción colaborativa entre los autores educativos en los estudios a distancia.
Fıdıc Kırmızı Kitap Kapsamında İnşaat Sözleşmelerinde Süre Uzatımı
Authors: Şengül Şahin Eda
Published: December 2022

Çevremizde sıkça gördüğümüz, günlük hayatımızın bir parçası olan ve ekonomik olarak da büyük değer ifade eden inşaatlar için akdedilen inşaat sözleşmelerinde tamamlanma süresi sözleşmenin önemli bir unsurudur. Bu önemine istinaden taraflarca akdedilen inşaat sözleşmelerinde tamamlanma süresinin, hangi hallerde süre uzatımı ve buna ilave olarak ek ödeme istenebileceğinin ve gecikme halinde meydana gelen zarardan sorumluluğun düzenlendiği görülmektedir. İnşaatlar çoğunlukla pek çok farklı şirketin yer aldığı kapsamlı projeler olduklarından süre de dâhil olmak üzere proje esnasında ortaya çıkması muhtemel sorunların çözümü için sözleşmede hükümler öngörülmektedir. Bu kapsamda inşaat sözleşmelerinde sıkça FIDIC’in belirlediği standart kurallar benimsenmektedir. Çalışmamızın kapsamını inşaat işlerindeki sözleşme koşullarını ayrıntılı olarak düzenleyen ve güncellenmiş halinin 2017 yılında yayınlandığı Kırmızı Kitap oluşturmaktadır. 2017 tarihli Kırmızı Kitap kapsamında çalışmamız yüklenicinin inşaat sözleşmesi uyarınca edimini yerine getirmesi gereken süre kavramı ile kararlaştırılan süre içerisinde tamamlanmayan edimler bakımından yüklenici ve iş sahibinin hak ve talepleri inceleyecektir. Son olarak, inşaat sözleşmelerinde süre uzatımı Türk Borçlar Kanunu çerçevesinde ele alınacaktır.
Egemenlik Kavramı ve Siyasi Düşünürler
Authors: KAYA Mevlüt Alper
Published: December 2022

Egemenlik kavramı, ortaya çıktığı tarihten günümüze kadar devlete ilişkin en önemli konularından biri olarak siyaset biliminde ve kamu hukukunda merkezî bir yer işgal etmiştir. Devletin kurucu unsurlarından biri olan egemenlik, modern devlet ile birlikte Avrupa’da ortaya çıkmıştır. Önce mutlak monarşiler biçiminde fiilen beliren egemenliğin bir kavram haline dönüşmesinde Machiavelli, Bodin, Hobbes ve Rousseau gibi önemli siyaset düşünürlerinin etkisi büyüktür. Egemenlik ortaya çıktığı tarihten günümüze kadar aynı kalmamış, tarihsel süreçte yaşanan gelişmeler kavramın dönüşmesine neden olmuştur. Başlangıçta kaynağının Tanrı’da olduğu düşünülen egemenlik, aşkın bir kavram olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Zaman içinde tanrısal bağlarından kopmuştur. Önce laik bir nitelik kazanan kavram ardından demokratik bir kimliğe bürünmüştür. Çalışmada egemenlik kavramının farklı boyutları ve tarihi süreç içerisinde değişen anlamı, siyasi düşünürlerin görüşleri etrafında incelenmiştir. Kavramın aşkın ve metafizik niteliğinin halen devam ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Tehlike Arz Eden Hayvanı Sokağa Terk Etme Kabahatinin İçtima Hükümleri ve “Non Bıs In Idem” İlkesi Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Kılıç Ahmet
Published: December 2022

Tehlike arz eden hayvanları sokağa terk etme fiili, 5199 sayılı Hayvanları Koruma Kanunu geçici m. 3/4’te kabahat olarak düzenlenmektedir. Bu fiil, 14 Temmuz 2021 tarihinde yürürlüğe giren 7332 sayılı Kanun ile ilk defa kabahat haline getirilmiştir. Yeni bir kabahat ihdas etmek için öncelikle buna ihtiyaç duyulması gerekir. İhtiyacın temel kaynağı, cezai veya idari yaptırım öngörülmemiş bazı fiil veya fiiller için yaptırım tehdidine gereklilik duyulmasıdır. Ancak ihdas edilecek kabahatin benzer nitelikteki diğer suç ve kabahatlerle uyumlu olması gerekir. Bu noktada suçların/kabahatlerin içtimaı ve non (ne) bis in idem ilkesi gündeme gelir. Çalışmamızda tehlike arz eden hayvanı sokağa terk etme kabahatinin gerekliliği ve yerindeliği söz konusu kurumlar bağlamında değerlendirilecektir. Bu değerlendirmeler, ihdas edilecek yeni kabahatler için de yol gösterici nitelikte olacaktır.

Makalenin konusu “Ares Hacıları” (Les pèlerins d’Arès) adıyla bilinen Fransa’da ortaya çıkmış bir yeni dini harekettir. Ares Hacıları, adı hareketin yaygın ismidir. Hareket bu ismini kurucusu Michel Potay’ın vahiy aldığı yer olduğuna inanılan Güney Batı Fransa’da Ares (Gironde, Bordeaux) ve burayı ziyaretten almıştır. Konu yeni dini hareket çerçevesinde genel hatlarıyla ortaya konmuştur. Buna göre ortaya çıkışı, ayin ve ibadet merkezi, inanç sistemi ve kutsal kitapları araştırmanın genel konularıdır. Çalışmanın hedefi Ares Hacılarının öğretisini ve dini sistemini kendilerini kabul ettikleri şekilde açığa çıkarmaktır. Bu yeni dini hareketin Hıristiyan öğretisini kendisine göre yorumladığı, diğer dinlere karşı sıcak yaklaştığı, sevgi gibi duygularla sosyal ilerlemeyi hedeflediği görülmüştür. Hareketin üye nüfusu hakkında kesin bilgi vermek mümkün değildir, ancak 500-2000 arasında tahmin edilmektedir. Bu hareketin kendine özgü kutsal kitabı ve hac merkezi bulunmaktadır. Hareketin bir özelliği de başta İslam olmak üzere diğer dinleri de kutsal olarak kabul etmesidir. Ares Hacıları her yıl yaz mevsiminde Ares’te bulunan Maison de la Sainte Parole (Kutsal Söz Evi)’ü ziyaret ederek hac ibadetini yerine getirirler. Hareketin “The Gospel Delivered in Arès” (Ares’te Verilen Vahiy) ve “The Book” (Kitap) isimleriyle iki kutsal metni vardır ve bunlar tefsirleriyle birlikte “The Revelation of Arés” (Ares Vahyi) adıyla da basılmıştır.

Hadis ilminde en doğru habere, en sağlam sened ile ulaşabilmek için rivâyetlerin sened ve metinleri belli kriterlere tabi tutulmuştur. Bazı haberler ilk bakışta kusursuz gibi görünmekle birlikte, araştırıldığı zaman kimi kusurlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Rivâyette bulunan ve problem teşkil eden bu durum, belirlenmiş usuller çerçevesinde ve yalnızca hadis ilminde uzman olan kişiler tarafından tespit edilebilmektedir. Bu tür kusurlar hadis literatüründe ‘illet’ olarak değerlendirilmekte ve bu rivâyetler ‘muallel’ olarak adlandırılmaktadır.
Suriyeli Öykücü Ülfet el-İdlibî nin “قشمد اي اعادو” (Elveda Ey Dımaşk) Adlı Öyküsünün Edebî Tahlili
Authors: Akpınar Fatma
Published: January 2023

Kısa hikâye on dokuzuncu yüzyılda dünya edebiyatında yeni bir tür olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. İlerleyen süreçte Arap edebiyatında farklı coğrafyalarda da kısa hikâye tarzında eserler verilmiştir. Ülfet el-İdlibî 1912-2007 yılları arasında yaşamış önemli bir Suriyeli hikâyecidir. Makalede öncelikle kısa hikâyenin yeni bir tür olarak Arap edebiyatında ve Suriye’de nasıl bir zeminde ortaya çıktığı ele alınmış, daha sonra kıssa kasîranın genel özelliklerine ve kısa hikâyede bulunan temel unsurlara değinilmiştir. Suriye’de kısa hikâyeciliğin öncülerinden sayılan Ülfet el-İdlibî’nin hayatı, edebî kişiliği ve kaleme aldığı eserleri hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Suriyeli öykücünün “Vedâ‘an Yâ Dımaşk” adlı hikâye koleksiyonuna ismini veren kısa hikâyenin tematik ve teknik yönden edebî bir tahlili yapılmaya gayret edilmiştir. “Elveda Ey Dımaşk” adlı öykünün teması aşktır. Öykü, gençken âşık olduğu kadına kavuşamayan ve bu nedenle de iki defa ülkesini terk etme girişiminde bulunan bir adamın hayatını konu edinir. Hikâyede satır aralarında gizlenen başka hususlar da vardır. Bunlar, Şam’ın o dönemdeki sosyal ve dinî yaşantısı hakkında bize ipuçları vermekte, ayrıca gelenek ve modernite arasında karşılaştırma yapma imkânı sağlamaktadır.

Authors: Biswas Monalisa , Shenoy Belle Vijetha , Krishnan S. Vimal , Prabhu Krishnananda
Published: January 2023

Introduction and Aim: The routine markers of CAD show elevation after the development of acute manifestations. There exists a need for the establishment/validation of biomarkers that predict preclinical atherosclerotic changes. This study assesses the utility of haematological indices in the prediction and prognostication of CAD.
 
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study includes 830 patient reports investigated for serum Troponin T retrieved from the laboratory information system. Reports were grouped into positive and negative categories. Relevant haematological and biochemical data were retrieved. Statistical analysis was carried out to estimate group differences, correlation, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC.
 
Results: Troponin T positive group showed significantly elevated WBCs, neutrophils, CRP, NLR, PLR, and SII with significantly low lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils and RBC count. None of the lipid profile parameters, except serum triglyceride, showed significant differences between groups.  Males showed a higher baseline but a blunter elevation CRP during acute coronary events. ROC showed maximum sensitivity (75.9%) and NPV (77.9%) for NLR, while PLR showed maximum specificity (76.4%).
 
Conclusion: Haematological indices may have a better predictive value than conventional lipid profile and might serve as key markers in novel cardiac risk screening panels and aid in the risk stratification and management of coronary artery diseases.

Published: January 2023

Introduction and Aim: One of the formidable complications in abdominal surgery is early intestinal obstruction, which quickly leads to the development of severe endotoxicosis, and intra-abdominal hypertension. The objective of this study is to present the results of repeat operation of early adhesive intestinal obstruction.
 
Methodology: There were 27 patients (13 men and 14 women) aged 17-73 years under observation, who were re-operated for early intestinal obstruction that occurred after operations on abdominal organs. Twenty-four operations were performed by laparotomic access and three by laparoscopic access. Eighteen were operated on an emergency basis and nine were operated on as per plan.
 
Results: After diagnosis, all patients were operated on under endotracheal anesthesia with median laparotomy access, with the timing of the intervention being different. So, on the first day after the obstruction was detected, five patients were operated on, 15 patients from 24-72 hours, six patients from 3-5 days, and one patient was operated on after five days. This study shows the severity of the condition of patients with early intestinal obstruction and the complexity of treatment.
 
Conclusion: After surgery, treatment should be comprehensive and aimed at etiopathogenesis and affect intra-abdominal pressure, endotoxicosis, and nutritional support.
