Is There Any Difference of Anesthesia Methods or Anesthetic Agents Prefererred for Gastric Cancer Surgery on the Survival of Patients: A Narrative Review
Authors: YILMAZ Fulya , BAS Koray
Published: April 2021

Introduction:Gasrtric cancer is a major global public health problem. It
is the fourth most common cancer and the second cause of cancer-related
deaths worldwire. Despite advances in the field of medical and radiation
oncology, surgical resection is crucial intervention and remains the
mainstay the gold standard treatment. Recently, the effects of
anesthesia method(s) and/or anesthetic agent(s) on survival for
different types of cancers gained attention. So we want to summarize the
evidences of anesthesia methods and/or anesthetic agents prefererred for
gastric cancer surgery on the survival. Material-method: Web of Science
software was used for the search and the analysis. To analyse scientific
productivity of all scientific papers published about survival of
patients due to the anesthesia methods or anesthetic agents on gastric
cancer in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) from 1980 to December
5 th, 2020; the date of the search, were searched by using the terms of
“gastric cancer”, “survival” and “anesthesia” in the topic search
section of the software. Results: Overall fifteeen papers were related
to our topic. Four of these studies compared TIVA with general
anesthesia; five of these compared general anesthesia with general
anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia/analgesia for gastric
cancer, three of these studies investigated effect of anesthetic agents
for gastric cells in in vitro conditions. Other publications were review
on this topic. Conclusion: The important role of anesthesia in treatment
of gastric cancer patients, is still controversial. Further prospective
randomized studies are needed.

Published: April 2021

Inadequate pasture management causes land degradation and negative
impacts on the socio-economic development of agricultural regions. Given
the importance for Brazil and the World of pasture-based livestock
production, the recognition of pasture degradation is essential. The use
of remote sensing satellite systems to detect degraded pastures
increased in the recent past, because of their capability to survey
large portions of Earth’s surface. A struggle nowadays is to improve
detection accuracy and to implement high-resolution surveys at farmland
scale using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The satellite sensors
capture reflectance from the visible spectrum and near infrared bands,
which allows estimating plant’s vigor vegetation indices. The NDVI is a
widely accepted index, but to generate an NDVI map using a UAV a
relatively high-cost multispectral sensor is required, while most UAVs
are equipped with low-cost RGB cameras. In the present study, a script
developed on the Google Earth Engine image-processing platform
manipulated images from the Landsat 8 satellite, and compared the
performances of NDVI and an improved color index that we coined “Total
Brightness Quotient” of red (TBQR), green (TBQG) and blue (TBQB) bands.
An efficient detection of pasture degradation using the TBQs would be a
good prognosis for the surveys at farm scale where environmental
authorities are progressively using UAVs and forcing landowners towards
pasture restoration. When compared to NDVI, the TBQG showed a
correlation of 0.965 and an accuracy of 88.63%. Thus, the TBQG proved
as efficient as the NDVI in the diagnosis of degraded pastures.

Authors: Li Yuhu , Cai Xuexiang , Ma Bo , LI Ning , zhang liuguang
Published: April 2021

Objective To evaluate the effects of different post-thawed culture
periods on the clinical outcomes Design A retrospective study. Setting
Two IVF centers. Population Women undergoing first cleavage-stage embryo
transfer in frozen-thawed cycles. Methods 9832 FET cycles were divided
into three groups according to female age: < 35, 35-39 and
> 39 years, and two groups depending on post-thawed culture
period: short and long culture groups. The long culture group divided
into three groups depending on blastomere growth number: ≤ 2, one ≤ 2
and the other > 2, and > 2 groups. Main
Outcome Measures Implantation rate (IR), clinical pregnancy rate (CPR),
multiple pregnancy rate (MPR), live birth rate (LBR) and neonatal
characteristics. Results Long post-thawed culture caused a significant
increase in the IR, CPR, MPR and LBR (P/CI = 0.002/1.034-1.162,
0.027/1.011-1.194, 0.028/1.014-1.255 and 0.001/1.054-1.245
respectively), and blastomere growth number had a significant effect on
IR, CPR, MPR and LBR (P = 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 and 0.000 respectively).
No significant differences were present in neonatal characteristics
between the two post-thawed culture groups. Singleton group had a higher
average gestational age and birthweight as well as a lower cesarean
section rate, preterm labor rate and low birthweight rate. Conclusions
Long post-thawed culture was associated with higher IR, CPR, MPR and
LBR, and transferring a well-developed embryo after long post-thawed
culture might be a viable embryo transfer strategy to decrease MPR while
maintaining CPR and LBR. Funding None Keywords Post-thawed culture,
blastomere growth, neonatal characteristics, live birth rate.
Molecular definition of SARS-CoV-2 RBD mutations: receptor affinity versus neutralization of receptor interaction
Authors: Vogel Monique , Augusto Gilles , Chang Xinyue , Liu Xuelan , Speiser Daniel , Mohsen Mona , Bachmann Martin
Published: April 2021

Background: Several new variants of SARS-CoV-2 have emerged since fall
2020 which have multiple mutations in the receptor binding domain (RBD)
of the spike protein. It is unclear which mutations affect receptor
affinity versus immune recognition. Methods: We produced RBD with single
mutations (E484K, K417N or N501Y) or with all three mutations combined
and tested their binding to ACE2 by biolayer interferometry (BLI). The
ability of convalescent sera to recognize RBDs and block their
interaction with ACE2 was tested as well. Results: We demonstrated that
single mutation N501Y increased binding affinity to ACE2 but did not
significantly affect its recognition by convalescent sera. In contrast,
single mutation E484K had almost no impact on the binding kinetics, but
essentially abolished recognition of RBD by convalescent sera.
Interestingly, combining mutations E484K, K417N and N501Y resulted in a
RBD with both features: enhanced receptor binding and abolished immune
recognition. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that single mutations
either affect receptor affinity or immune recognition while triple
mutant RBDs combine both features.

Does Student’s Cognitive Flexibility Decrease During Pandemic? A New Approach to Measure Cognitive Flexibility
Authors: Cambaz Hüseyin Zahid , Ünal Gülten
Published: April 2021

The aim of this study is to examine the cognitive flexibility before and during the COVID-19 pandemic through a different performance measurement suitable for online application. In the study, three different data collected in 2019 (T19), 2020 (T20) and 2021 (T21) were compared with both within-and between-subject designs. One-hundred-and-twenty-three university students were included in the study for within-subjects, 239 for between-subject. According to the findings of the study, the cognitive flexibility of the students who continue formal education in T19 is higher than the students who continue distance education in T20 according to both within-subject and between-subject design. Besides, in both designs, fewer total words were produced in T19 than in T20. The sentences created by the students who continue their distance education in pandemic stay around less categories and contain more words. According to the within-subject findings obtained at T20 and T21, the cognitive flexibility and total words produced at T20 were greater. In other words, the scores of the students decreased over time during the pandemic period. In T21, cognitive flexibility is not related to vulnerability, perceived risk, and fear of COVID-19. However, according to the regression results, vulnerability at T21 was predicted by the total word and total emotional word in T20. Accordingly, producing more total words in T20 reduced vulnerability in T21; however, using more emotional words in T20 increased vulnerability in T21. In addition, the number of siblings was negatively associated with vulnerability. Lastly, cognitive flexibility test was found to be reliable.
HAYAO MIYAZAKI IN SEARCH OF THE WORLD
Authors: Афанасов Николай Борисович
Published: April 2021

Рецензируется перевод монографии американского теоретика культуры Сюзан Нейпир «Волшебные миры Хаяо Миядзаки». Книга Сюзан Нейпир представляет собой наиболее фундаментальное исследование визуальных форм в творчестве японского анимационного режиссёра Хаяо Миядзаки. Сквозь призму анимационной визуальности автор раскрывает те философские смыслы, которые режиссёр закладывал в свои фильмы. С позиций культурной теории и философии культуры монография представляет особенный интерес, поскольку позволяет погрузиться в интерпретации ключевых для культуры XX века сюжетов в японской анимации. Помимо прочего работа Нейпир может представлять академический интерес для всех, кто интересуется теорией культурного фронтира и такими философскими сюжетами, как экологическое мышление, феминизм, новый материализм или апокалиптическое видение. Настоящая рецензия построена на исследовательских инициативах визуальной семиотики. Анализ интеллектуальных способов работы Сюзан Нейпир с визуальностью аниме Хаяо Миядзаки может быть полезен не только тем, кто интересуется непосредственными смыслами работ японского аниматора, но и претендует на раскрытие внутренних механизмов визуальных репрезентаций культурных феноменов. Иными словами, книга Нейпир, помимо раскрытия скрытых и неочевидных смыслов художественных произведений, вносит вклад в общую теорию работы с визуальным. Рецензия также акцентирует внимание на ряде непоследовательных ходов в мышлении Нейпир и предлагает свою интерпретацию спорных аспектов в книге.

The Russian translation of Susan Napier’s monograph Miyazakiworld: A Life in Art is being reviewed. The book should be considered as the most fundamental research on the visual semiotics in the works of the Japanese animation director Hayao Miyazaki. Through the prism of visuality, the author analyses philosophical meanings that the director put in his films. From the perspectives of cultural theory and philosophy of culture, the monograph is particularly interesting because it allows going deeper into the interpretations of topics, key in the 20th-century culture, in Japanese animation. Among other things, Napiers’s book could be of interest for all academics interested in frontier studies and such philosophical topics as ecological thinking, feminism, new materialism, and apocalyptic thinking. This review is based on the research initiatives of visual semiotics. The analysis of Susan Napier’s intellectual ways of working with the visual nature of Hayao Miyazaki’s anime can be useful not only for those interested in the understanding of the direct meanings of the Japanese animator’s works, it also claims to reveal the internal mechanisms of visual representations of cultural phenomena. In other words, Napier’s book, in addition to revealing the hidden and non-obvious meanings of works of art, contributes to the general theory of working with the visual reality. The review also focuses on a number of inconsistent moves in Napier’s thinking and offers its own interpretation of the controversial aspects in the book.

Diabetes Link: innovación tecnológica al servicio de la salud
Authors: Rucci Enzo , Delía Lisandro , Pujol Joaquín , Erbino Paula , De Giusti Armando Eduardo , Gagliardino Juan José
Published: April 2021

La Diabetes Mellitus (DM) es una enfermedad crónica caracterizada por niveles elevados de glucemia que se manifiesta cuando el páncreas endocrino es incapaz de producir la cantidad de insulina suficiente que requieren sus tejidos. Actualmente, la DM afecta al 8.5% de la población mundial y en Argentina alcanza al 12.7% de la población adulta. Aunque no se dispone de una curación, su control adecuado previene el desarrollo de complicaciones que disminuyen la calidad de vida del paciente y aumentan el costo de su tratamiento. Dicho control implica la participación activa del paciente en el control y tratamiento de su enfermedad. Además, dependiendo del paciente y de la gravedad de su enfermedad, resulta necesario medir regularmente distintos parámetros clínico-metabólicos como el peso corporal, la glucemia, la presión arterial, la cantidad de carbohidratos ingeridos y la actividad física realizada; los cuales tienen incidencia en alcanzar metas de tratamiento.

Diabetes Link es una plataforma integral y gratuita para el control y seguimiento de personas con DM, compuesta por la combinación de una aplicación móvil junto a un portal web. La plataforma permite registrar diversos parámetros relevantes para el tratamiento y, en base a ellos, calcular diferentes gráficos estadísticos. Además, permite conectar con otros usuarios de la aplicación (supervisores) para que puedan monitorizar el control.

Para evaluar la factibilidad y potencialidad de la propuesta se entrevistaron a médicos, educadores e investigadores del área de diabetes. Esta fase de desarrollo fue complementada con un estudio del estado del conocimiento en aplicaciones móviles orientadas a diabetes. A partir del mismo se diseñó y desarrolló una aplicación móvil multiplataforma (disponible en el PlayStore de Google y en el iOS Store de Apple) en combinación con un portal web (disponible en diabeteslink.info.unlp.edu.ar).

Authors: Parra-Coronel Janeth , Astudillo-Neira Diana , Ortiz-Ulloa Johana
Published: April 2021

Introducción: La caries de la temprana infancia (CTI) es una de las enfermedades infecciosas más comunes en infantes y niños preescolares. Objetivo: Evaluar la caries de la temprana infancia y los factores de riesgo asociados con prácticas dietarías y el estado nutricional en niños de 10-48 meses de edad. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal en 142 niños de nivel socioeconómico medio-bajo de un centro infantil gubernamental en Cuenca, Ecuador. La salud dental, estado nutricional y patrones dietarios se evaluaron mediante exámenes clínicos, mediciones antropométricas y recordatorios de 24 horas, respectivamente. Resultados: La prevalencia de caries de la temprana infancia fue alta (95.8%) mayoritariamente en etapa avanzada (83.1%). No se observaron asociaciones con el estado nutricional. El consumo diario de alimentos cariogénicos fue significativamente mayor entre semana (11,1 ± 1,4) (p<0,001). La dieta fue categorizada como de bajo riesgo cariogénico (<34). La edad del niño (OR=1.1; IC 95%: 1.041, 1.160, p=0.001) y el índice de placa (OR=4.9; IC 95%: 1.331, 17.82; p=0.017) fueron determinantes positivos de caries avanzada. Conclusión: El deterioro de la salud dental de esta población se evidenció, empeorando a edades mayores sin asociación con los patrones dietarios.
Dinámica metropolitana de los centros comerciales en la ZMVM
Authors:   , María Lucía Sánchez Carmona
Published: April 2021

El objetivo de la investigación consiste en la identificación de los factores que contribuyen al aumento de la construcción de los Centros Comerciales desde la construcción de Plaza Universidad en 1969, convirtiéndose en el primer centro comercial de la Ciudad de México hasta la fecha. Se parte de la identificación de los factores implicados en el patrón de la localización de los Centros Comerciales de la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México. Se parte de debatir la idea que los Centros Comerciales se sitúan en las principales vías de comunicación de la ZMVM, en cambio se identifican los Caminos Comerciales Metropolitanos que son los ejes de conexión entre ellos. Además, la localización de Centros Comerciales en ciertas áreas de la metrópoli ha conformado Nodos Comerciales Metropolitanos como resultado del número de Centros Comerciales construidos, la ubicación de los diferentes sectores de la población, así como del proceso de Asociación Comercial. Para cumplir con el objetivo del trabajo se llevó a cabo un mapeo de localización de los Centros Comerciales por décadas y su relación con la ubicación de los Caminos Metropolitanos, cercanía con los Sistemas de Transporte masivo: Metro y Metrobús, y de la ubicación de los sectores de la población con mayores ingresos. El análisis tiene una justificación práctica, se sostiene que la formación de los Nodos Comerciales Metropolitanos se localiza en las áreas con mayor intercambio social y económico, apoyado por el nivel de accesibilidad que los Caminos Comerciales Metropolitanos proporcionan. El patrón de localización de los Centros Comerciales no ha sido aleatorio, ni producto de la casualidad sino de la lógica de posicionamiento estratégico comercial.

Lo “patrimoniable”: el patrimonio cultural de lo cotidiano
Authors: Fracasso Liliana , Cabanzo Francisco
Published: April 2021

This work stems from a reflection around the conceptual relationship established between heritage education, cultural heritage, popular and contemporary ancestral habitat and artistic practices merging from a researchcreation project “Experiential artistic practices for the recognition of ‘the heritageable’ in Colombia: popular habitat and contemporary ancestral habitat in pilot places (Municipality of Choachí, neihborhoods Pardo Rubio, Minuto de Dios, Las Cruces, El Pañuelito, the locality of Rafael Uribe Uribe). The arguments are formulated from case studies, articulated in the “Heritageable Network”: coformed by observatory places that belong to urban and rural contexts of Bogotá and its edges. The need to confer and defend the significance of places in the ordinary or ancestral world based on aesthetic practices is argued in this chapter. “The heritageable” - recognized by the community - is arbitrated and located in space and time, past, present and future, restoring common sense and social value to territorialization processes.

The description that could be made today of the palafite villages of Venezuela, obviously differs from that contained in the letter of Vespucio dated from the year 1500, but what can be astonishing is that not only these communities have lasted, but also others have appeared throughout history, even in the twentieth century. That is, it is not only a model of a persistent habitat but also that of a reproducible one. This paper is based on two different studies of the palafite cultural landscape that have made it persist, reproduce, and even move has been addressed, and in which the authors participated, and that was carried out for the Corporación de Desarrollo del Zulia (Corpozulia) and the National Housing Council (CONAVI) through the consultancy NOMADAS.

Published: April 2021

The Environmental Design Methodology is a solid base that allows the comprehensive understanding of the heritage phenomenon, since the landscape and its elements confer authenticity to the monument and allow the understanding of the context. The study of the Fort of San Carlos, Perote, Veracruz, a defensive monument of the 18th century, is carried out from environmental sphere that shows the conditions and resources that the environment offers. Through cartographic analysis, its location is defined on a flat topography, which does not allow distant views of the territory. It is built on rock of igneous origin, masonry material of the monument is identified, finding its possible origin in a nearby area on and old lake sediments. The hydrological, morphological and petrological situation explain the obtaining of water to sustain the fortress. The ecosystem of lower zone is deteriorated; but the abiotic conditions allow predicting the original plant community known to those who built the fort there, which allows the possibility of the integral recovery; together with the authenticity of the environment, they define the monument.
Hypotestosterone in Male with Obesity
Authors: Kurniawan Liong Boy
Published: April 2021

Obesity can be defined as the excess of body fat. The prevalence of obesity worldwide increases in the last decades andcauses a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Male subjects tend to develop visceral (abdominal) obesity, which producespro-inflammatory adipokines. Obesity in males is associated with low testosterone levels. Several mechanisms have beenproposed to explain the link between male obesity and hypotestosterone, including increased aromatization oftestosterone to form estradiol, suppressing the Hypothalamus-Pituitary (HPT) axis due to pro-inflammatory adipokines, anddecrease of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) production. Because hypotestosterone in males with obesity is afunctional but reversible condition, it is essential to screen testosterone levels in obese males for early intervention andtreatment.

Published: April 2021

Thalassemia major is one of the types of thalassemia that need a routine blood transfusion. If not treated immediately, the patient will only last for 1-8 months. Blood transfusions performed at least or more than 10 times causes iron overload. Excess levels of Fe ions in the body will be stored in the form of ferritin. If the ferritin level is high, cell damage will occur in the presence of a fat peroxidation reaction or Malondialdehyde (MDA). Cell damage can trigger proinflammation, which increases neutrophil counts and decreases lymphocyte counts. The Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), which measures the ratio between Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) divided by Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) with a manual peripheral blood picture. This study aimed to determine the correlation of ferritin levels with MDA and NLR in iron overload. This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, with samples were thalassemia patients who received repeated blood transfusions at the General Hospital Dr. R Soetrasno, Rembang City and Regional General Hospital Dr. R Soedjati, Grobogan Purwodadi. Inclusion criteria were age 10-18 years, transfusion 10-20 times, normal body temperature. Exclusion criteria were Fe therapy orally, leukocytosis, chronic kidney disease. In the MDA levels, there was no significant difference where p=0.25 by Spearman test. In the NLR there was no significant difference where p=0.91 by Spearman test. There is no correlation between ferritin levels with MDA and NLR in iron overload.
Fluidez Lectora y Evaluación Formativa
Authors: Calero Andrés
Published: April 2021

Existe un consenso generalizado entre los docentes, en el sentido de que la lectura fluida es una de las destrezas más importantes a desarrollar en los primeros años de escolaridad. Sin embargo, no existe una definición clara del constructo fluidez lectora en el ámbito de la investigación y en el medio escolar que oriente la práctica en este aprendizaje y su evaluación. Mientras algunos especialistas apoyan una definición simple de la fluidez lectora basada en la velocidad lectora, otros plantean que la lectura prosódica, relacionándola con la lectura expresiva. En este artículo reflexionamos acerca del hecho de que una lectura veloz no siempre es sinónimo de lectura fluida, y que el énfasis que tradicionalmente se ha puesto en la velocidad al leer en las escuelas –un aspecto singular de la lectura fluida-, ha llevado a muchos docentes y alumnos a pensar que leer con fluidez es leer deprisa.Valoramos también la importancia de una evaluación formativa que promueva la coevaluación y la autoevaluación, para que los lectores obtengan un conocimiento exacto de cuáles son las demandas que se le exigen para llevar a cabo una lectura fluida, y sean capaces de controlar su propio aprendizaje. Finalmente, abogamos por el uso de la rúbrica, como un instrumento de evaluación cualitativa y formativa, para guiar el proceso de evaluación de la fluidez lectora.

Un nuevo enfoque de la lectura musical. Análisis literario, musical y didáctico del cuento "Mi madre la Oca"
Authors: De Vicente Yagüe-Jara M. Isabel
Published: April 2021

Nuestra experiencia docente en las aulas de diferentes niveles educativos nos alerta de la urgente necesidad de replantearnos nuevos enfoques de lectura. Consideramos que los esquemas narrativos tradicionales deben ser enriquecidos y actualizados por medio de diversos códigos que pretendan un motivador acercamiento al hecho literario, iniciativa ya tomada por ciertas colecciones de cuentos a través de una innovadora propuesta musical.En este sentido, analizamos las cualidades didácticas e interartísticas del cuento musical Mi madre la Oca con texto de Fernando Palacios, música de Maurice Ravel e ilustraciones de Alicia Cañas. El diálogo que en el cuento se establece entre los distintos códigos (verbal, musical y gráfico), a partir de las relaciones intertextuales con la cuentística francesa fundamentalmente, da lugar a una triple lectura hipertextual y metaficcional, que aleja al escolar de un tradicional concepto lecto- literario mediante este atractivo formato editorial del libro-CD y procura el desarrollo de su competencia literaria.
Los hábitos lectores en inglés de futuros maestros: Implicaciones didácticas
Authors: Gómez López Ángela
Published: April 2021

Se presenta un estudio exploratorio y descriptivo sobre los hábitos lectores en inglés de estudiantes universitarios españoles para detectar cuáles son las áreas de atención prioritaria para poder seguir un Grado en inglés según el EEES. Se midió el nivel de inglés mediante el Oxford Online Placement Test. Se evaluaron los hábitos lectores y el tipo de materiales académicos que los estudiantes leen en inglés mediante un cuestionario. Gran parte de la muestra se encontraba en los niveles elementales e intermedios de dominio del inglés. Un porcentaje muy elevado de estudiantes declaró no tener el hábito de leer en inglés y leer solo materiales académicos obligatorios. Sin embargo,  existe una fuerte correlación entre tener un nivel alto de dominio del inglés y tener el hábito de lectura y/o leer otros materiales no obligatorios. Por tanto, la enseñanza del  inglés debería fomentar más la lectura y el hábito lector.
Hipertexto y comprensión lectora

La comprensión lectora depende en gran medida del procesamiento de la información textual y de su recuerdo durante el acto de lectura pero también después de ella. Este procesamiento de la información puede verse influenciado por distintos factores, algunos previos del propio lector, y otros externos a él que pueden, no solo afectar al proceso de lectura, sino también a la calidad del procesamiento del contenido.En el siguiente estudio nos planteamos el grado de incidencia del tipo de formato textual, texto lineal en comparación a hipertexto, en la comprensión y el recuerdo a corto y a largo plazo de un contenido textual dado a una muestra de niños de quinto curso de educación primaria. Paralelamente, nos proponemos analizar si el nivel de competencia lectora de los niños, evaluada con anterioridad al presente estudio, así como su frecuencia de conexión a Internet desde casa, influyen en sus resultados en comprensión lectora y memoria textual tanto a corto como a largo plazo.

Introduction: In India, an area of not less than 100 metres around a hospital is considered a silence zone, with guidelines restricting noise levels at 50dBA during daytime and 40dBA during the night. Annoyance is a known effect of noise exposure. Objectives: To determine the feasibility of an extensive study on noise in the hospital, annoyance in staff due to hospital noise and its associated factors. Methods: Noise data was collected from 3 sites, using a Digital Integrating Sound Level Meter, LutronSL-4035SD(ISO-9001,CE,IEC1010) meeting IEC61672 standards. Stratified random sampling of staff was done on basis of noise exposure. A pre-designed, semi-structured questionnaire collected information on sociodemographic and work profile. Annoyance was measured using standardized general purpose noise reaction questionnaire (ISO-TS/ 15666). Data was analysed in SPSS. Result: Laeq ranged from 56dB in nephrology ward to 89.2dB at OPD atrium. Maximum noise level was 98.6dB in OPD atrium and 86.1dB in nephrology ward. Levels at night in ward were higher than during day time. 24 (53.3%) of the staff said their workplace is noisy, while 26(57.8%) were annoyed by workplace noise. Annoyance due to hospital noise was associated with age (p=0.003), duration of work in hospital per week (p=0.04), duration of work in current department (p=0.007), noise level (p=0.04) and workplace distance from arterial road (p=0.02). Conclusion: Hospital noise levels are higher than recommended levels for sensitive zones as per national guidelines and exceed levels inside wards as stipulated by WHO. More than half the study population were annoyed by workplace noise indicating need for interventions. A study throughout the hospital to study noise levels and annoyance among staff following similar methodology is feasible and necessary.
