Does the Water Have Memory and Why?
Authors: Kuman Maria
Published: October 2023

Plants and humans are mostly water, which makes the answer of this question essential. The article explains that if we have computers with memory, it is because the computers use chips made of crystals, which have memory. Scientists recently found that glass and gels also have memory, which can be explained with the chunks of crystals imbedded in their structure. However, it was found that colloidal solutions and even soap bubbles also have memory, which could only be explained if liquid water has memory. When the ice melts to become liquid water, only 40% of the H-bonds are melted. So, liquid water is different size and shape clusters of ice swimming in liquid water and if the liquid water has retained most of its crystalline structure, it could memorize. The French immunologist Benveniste was the first to claim that the water has memory and he was ridiculed for this. His conclusion was right, but being immunologist he could not explain why the water has memory. The research of Montagnier straightforward showed that even when the entire DNA of HIV virus is filtered out, the water can still bring the infection because the electromagnetic field (NEMF) of the DNA of the HIV-virus is imprinted on the water structure. The present article explains the memory of water, the memory of the acupuncture points, etc.
In Search of an Ideal Man
Authors: DK Goswami
Published: October 2023

Society is the combination of its unit “individual”. An individual is “a man”. Each individual has important and valuable role in forming the society. An ideal man is the ideal unit of the society. Hence the need of an ideal man is felt by the sincere and responsible members of the society. Framing of individual character is the key of the ideal society. In the present materialistic society it is becoming difficult to get a man with ideal character. In the present society it is frequently said that, there is lack of love, respect and tolerance resulting in social disharmony. To eliminate the confusion and insecurity in the society proper education and guidance, especially to the new generation, can be considered as must. In this direction only law and administration should not be considered as the only means. The ancient Indian science , Ayurveda , has given guidance in this respect , the role of which can never be denied even to-day in framing the best quality human character .

Explicit Role of Srotasas in Health and Disease Condition
Authors: Sud Vd Sushant
Published: October 2023

The Human body is very similar to a factory where the condition processes of Anabolism and Catabolism are continuously going on. The transportation of the materials to be used, the by-products and the waste products, is done by some specific channels at particular levels. These channels are termed as Srotasas by the Ayurvedic ideologists. During the state of health, these channels efficiently carry out the work of transportation of the nutritive elements to the various tissues of the body, helping to prevent the degeneration of the concerned tissues and thus in a long run, in preventing the decay of the life and the health. Acharaya Charaka has said that as long as the channels of circulation are in a condition of health i.e. they are anatomically perfect and working uninterruptedly, so long the whole body remains free from the diseases. Maharshi Sushruta has given a scientific account of process of disease formation. Acharaya Charaka and Vagbhatta have said that right from the vitiation of the doshas and finally, up to the manifestation of the disease, the whole process may be termed as Samprapti. The same process has been elucidated by Acharaya Sushruta under six stages viz; Samchaya, Prakopa, Prasara, Sthansamshraya, Vyakti and Bheda [1,2].

IntroductionTrusted Research Environments (TREs) are secure computing environments that provide access to data for approved researchers to use in studies that can save and improve lives. TREs rely on Data Access Agreements (DAAs) to bind researchers and their organisations to the terms and conditions of accessing the infrastructure and data use. However, DAAs can be overly lengthy, complex, and can contain outdated terms from historical data sharing agreements for physical exchange of data. This is often cited as a cause of significant delays to legal review and research projects starting.
ObjectivesThe aim was to develop a standardised DAA optimised for data science in TREs across the UK and framed around the `Five Safes framework' for trustworthy data use. The DAA is underpinned by principles of data access in TREs, the development of which is described in this paper.
MethodsThe Pan-UK Data Governance Steering Group of the UK Health Data Research Alliance led the development of a core set of data access principles. This was informed by a benchmarking exercise of DAAs used by established TREs and consultation with public members and stakeholders.
ResultsWe have defined a core set of principles for TRE data access that can be mapped to a common set of DAA terms for UK-based TREs. Flexibility will be ensured by including terms specific to TREs or specific data/data owners in customisable annexes. Public views obtained through public involvement and engagement (PIE) activities are also reported.
ConclusionsThese principles provide the foundation for a standardised UK TRE DAA template, designed to support the growing ecosystem of TREs. By providing a familiar structure and terms, this template aims to build trust among data owners and the UK public and to provide clarity to researchers on their obligations to protect the data. Widespread adoption is intended to accelerate health data research by enabling faster approval of projects, ultimately enabling more timely and effective research.

Even after the reversal of opioid intoxication with naloxone, the respiration did not recover, and TOF revealed recurrent paralysis. Two of three cases completely recovered after additional sugammadex administration, but remnant 1 case without sugammadex transferred to intensive care unit with intubated status. Even if the recommended dose of sugammadex is administered, there can be recurrent neuromuscular blockade by complicated reasons. Continuous quantitative neuromuscular monitoring may be needed to prevent these unusual situations.
Postpartum Hemorrhage et causa Atonia Uteri and Ruptured Portion with Complications of Shock Hemorrhagic and Anemia: A Case Report from Southwest Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara
Authors: Triastuti Prastika Candra , Putra Gde Ngurah Bayu Dalem
Published: October 2023

Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the most common obstetric emergencies, and it is the most significant contributor to maternal mortality in the world. The most common cause is uterine atony, followed by laceration in the perineum or portion. P4A0 spontaneous postpartum at the primary health care facility (Puskesmas), a baby boy with a birth weight of 3000 grams cries spontaneously. After delivering the baby, the placenta was born 15 minutes later, with active bleeding afterwards of more than 1500 cc without uterine contractions. The patient was then diagnosed with spontaneous postpartum P4A0 with uterine atony, and the management of uterine atony was performed by massaging the fundus with external and internal bimanual compression, accompanied by fluid resuscitation by inserting a 2-line IV line. She was then given vaginal misoprostol, but contractions were still absent. She was then given a uterotonic drip of oxytocin (30 iu/30 dpm), and the contractions are getting better and stronger. Bleeding was evaluated, but still active then exploratorium on the birth canal and the source of the bleeding was found to be a portion of the tear from front to back, towards 5 o'clock. Then stitching was performed on the portion, and 1 hour after suturing, the bleeding was no longer active. The patient was treated at Puskesmas, with a final HB of 7.5 g/dL.
To improve diagnosis accuracy and speed in handling emergency obstetric cases. Atonia uteri is caused by many factors, one of which is parturition as experienced by the patient. After active management of stage 3, bleeding continues, so that treatment is given, including the administration of crystalloid fluid, uterotonics, uterine massage, bimanual compression, and catheter condom placement. If the steps that have been taken have not stopped the bleeding, then the next intervention must be immediately taken, namely surgery. In cases of postpartum hemorrhage caused not by uterine atony but by a wound or tear in the portion, prompt actions must be taken to immediately eliminate bleeding by exploring and sewing the torn part and then re-evaluating to ensure that the bleeding stops. Establishing the right diagnosis in emergency cases of postpartum hemorrhage and providing prompt and appropriate treatment can prevent complications ranging from shock to death.

Published: October 2023

Every year a variety of vector-borne infectious diseases claims the lives of millions of people worldwide. The study of the favorable conditions for their vectors and hosts is a particularly important task for understanding the patterns of the distribution with the focus on the urban environment, characterizing by a high population density and rapid transmission of the diseases. The existing methodology of Local Climate Zones (LCZ), which are areas with homogeneous land surface coverage, structure, and a specific nature of human activity was the first attempt to standardize urban environmental studies and has become an international standard for the analysis of urban morphology. The article provides an algorithm for adapting the methodology of identifying LCZ accounting vegetation and water areas for the tasks of medical geographical zoning and assessment of epidemiological risks and using the geographic information technology. The examples of the outbreaks of vivax malaria in the Moscow region in 1999–2003 and West Nile fever in the Volgograd region in 2010–2011 were used. As a result, a methodology of medical geographical zoning based on the idea of fragmenting the classification of LCZ using the normalized difference water index as indicator of the favorability for vector habitats was developed. The use of the methodology made it possible to reveal that the areas of various LCZs change after outbreaks, which may reflect changes in conditions and an increase in the favorability for vectors. Thus, LCZ can be used as indicators of changes in the natural and man-made environment that can provoke disease outbreaks.

Published: October 2023

Morphometric descriptions of reservoirs are usually limited to the type, shape, altitude position, bed size and volume of water in them. The article presents the results of the analysis of the bottom topography of the Krasnodar reservoir and the transformations of this for 2005-2021. The analysis was carried out based on the materials of bathymetric surveys for the usable volume of the reservoir on an area of 224 km2 with the creation of digital elevation models. The topography of the reservoir bottom is represented by flat sections of flooded accumulative plain with prevailing slopes of about 0.2–0.4°, dissected by riverbeds of lower-order tributaries. The transformation of the topography is caused by gradual silting. The total volume of sediments for this area in 2005-2021 amounted to 127 million m3 with an average siltation layer of 0.4 m. To describe the morphological properties of the bottom topography, we used geomorphometry techniques with the calculation of the BPI index (Bathymetric Position Index) and the classification of mesoscale topography forms based on it. For the riverbed, there are topography forms related to three types of surfaces: flat (Lower Bank Shelves), concave (Depressions, Deep Depressions) and convex (Reef Crests, Back Reefs, Mid-Slope Ridges). The constructed maps reflect the differentiated morphology of the bed surface, the evolution of topography forms and the change in roughness under conditions of continuous transformation of the basin and allow judging the prevailing morphogenetic processes. Morphologically, the coastal zone and the shallow part of the riverbed are the most difficult to construct. Here, along with long-shore reef crests of different genesis, deep depressions and simple depressions in the form of underwater channels on the deltas of extension can form on the accumulative shoal.

Published: October 2023

Poisonous plants are a collective group of plants of various systematic categories that contain phytotoxins that pose a potential danger to humans and animals. A number of publications both in Russia and abroad are devoted to the problem of patterns of distribution of plants hazardous to human health in connection with environmental factors. This work is a continuation of research into the spread of plants dangerous to humans in Russia. The aim of this work is ecological and geographical analysis of poisonous plants distribution in biomes of the Far East in Russia. Resulted from the research work on the territory of the far-eastern biomes of Russia we revealed 87 the most toxic vascular plant species that belong to 21 plant families. Some of the most poisonous plants of the Russian flora are plants of the genus Aconitum, of the family (Ranunculaceae). About 70 species of this genus grow in Russia, of which 40 are found only in the Far East, since this territory is considered the center of botanical diversity of the genus in question. The cartographical analysis showed that the highest number of poisonous plant species could be found in the south-east regions – in Primorye, the basin of Ussuri river, in the lower and middle course of the river Amur. Based on a map of Russian biomes, optimal habitats for poisonous plants were identified. Maximum number of Aconitum species, as the most poisonous genus of Russian flora, is in the mountain biomes and in the plain forest-steppe biomes in the Amur basin. The types of ecosystems with the maximum abundance and diversity of poisonous plants have been identified. The species richness distribution shows the concentration of poisonous plant species in small mountain biomes and in arid-like biomes. Correlation analysis of relationships between the number of plant species and climatic factors revealed the significant closeness of the correlation with the average annual air temperature (0,66). Maximum correlation closeness appeared to be between number of poisonous plant species per 10 000 km2 and total number of vascular plants per 10 000 km2 (0,81).

It is known that aquatic macrophytes are an important part of freshwater ecosystems, and that they play a different role in their structure and functioning. Their presence and distribution depends on water temperature and transparency, nutrient content, conductivity, pH, chemical composition and water circulation. Therefore, the goal of our research was to determine the influence and interrelationship of physicochemical parameters of water on the content of photosynthetic pigments in aquatic macrophytes of Lake Necik, in the Ramsar area of Bardača (Republic of Srpska). Content of total chlorophyll (a + b) during the growing season (June–October) ranged from 0.231 to 1.145 mg g−1 FW in Phragmites communis Trin. ex Steud., from 0.061 to 0.541 mg g−1 FW in Salvinia natans L. (All.), from 0.063 to 0.626 mg g−1 FW in Utricularia vulgaris L. and from 0.063 to 0.443 mg g−1 FW in Ceratophyllum demersum L. Research has shown that floating and submerged macrophytes have a lower ratio of chlorophyll a/b compared to emergent hydrophytes, which is most likely the result of stress caused by increased light intensity and temperature. Seasonal variations in the content of photosynthetic pigments indicated that the species Phragmites communis proved to be more tolerant to the stress caused by the influence of various abiotic factors, while Salvinia natans proved to be more sensitive. Spearmon’s correlation coefficient of the physicochemical parameters of water and the concentration of photosynthetic pigments of macrophytes showed a significant influence of certain abiotic factors (temperature, transparency and nutrients) on the content of pigments in the leaves of Phragmites communis, Salvinia natans, Utricularia vulgaris and Ceratophyllum demersum L.

The population dynamics and behavior of the black-headed gull of an Algerian coastal wetland, El Mellah lagoon (Lake Mellah), were studied during three consecutive wintering seasons (2018–2021). Maximum numbers of the species were counted in December and January depending on the year. A peak of 536 individuals was recorded in the first half of December 2018, another of 538 individuals in the second half of December 2019, and a final peak of 636 birds in the first half of January 2021. Diurnal activity patterns showed that feeding was the primary behavior, with a mean of 24% for the three seasons. It was followed by sleeping (21%), swimming (19%), preening (18%), and flight (17%). Black-headed gulls appeared to be more active in the morning than at other times of the day.

This study attempts to provide recent and unpublished data on the wintering and behavior of the black-headed gull, which remains poorly documented in North Africa and particularly in Algeria, and highlights the patterns of wetland use by these species, which could help to evaluate the importance of certain areas and develop management plans specific to coastal habitats and their avifaunal diversity.

Role of multimodality imaging for primary bone tumors among children: a case report
Authors: Nazir Salah , Gill Owais , Aslam Mariha , Afzal Muhammad
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
Background: Bone lesions in children are very common and can be benign or malignant. Benign bone lesions, fortunately, are more common as compared to rare malignant neoplasms of bone. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are the most common malignant bone tumors in younger age group. Multimodality imaging plays a major role in bridging the gap between clinical diagnosis and final diagnosis
Case Presentation: We present here a case of 8-year-old male patient complained of progressive soft tissue swelling and pain in left thigh from 25-30 days. His X-ray of left femur showed a mixed density, predominantly sclerotic lesion involving mid-diaphysis. His contrast enhanced MRI of left thigh showed large, ill-defined, abnormal signal intensity medullary lesion seen in left femur involving mid to lower diaphyseal shaft, extending to metaphyseal region. His 99mTc MDP bone scintigraphy was done showing abnormal radiotracer uptake in lower half of left femur and adjoining soft tissue.
Conclusion: Single modality imaging may not be enough in predicting the true extent of bone pathologies. Multimodality imaging plays a major role in characterizing the lesions to differentiate benign from malignant and bridging the gap between clinical diagnosis and final diagnosis.
Keywords: Osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, 99mTc MDP bone scintigraphy, case report
