Published: August 2020

Background:
Glomus tumors are benign and rare vascular tumors, with an incidence of less than 2% in relation to all soft tissue tumors. About 75% occur in hand, especially in the nail bed, even though these tumors may also occur in atypical locations. They are characterized by a triad composed of pain, cold intolerance, and point tenderness.

Case Presentation:
We present a clinical case of a male patient with 67 years old with a painful lesion on the subcutaneous tissue of the knee with 5 years of evolution. The pain exacerbated with the cold. He underwent surgical excision with pain resolution, and no recurrence or metastasis was found at 30-month follow-up.

Conclusion:
The rapid diagnosis of glomus tumors is important to avoid treatment delays leading to chronic pain. It is important to consider glomus tumors in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous lesions.

A Study on Multisecret-Sharing Schemes Based on Linear Codes
Authors: Çalkavur Selda 
Published: August 2020

Secret sharing has been a subject of study since 1979. In the secret sharing schemes there are some participants and a dealer. The dealer chooses a secret. The main principle is to distribute a secret amongst a group of participants. Each of whom is called a share of the secret. The secret can be retrieved by participants. Clearly the participants combine their shares to reach the secret. One of the secret sharing schemes is threshold secret sharing scheme. A threshold secret sharing scheme is a method of distribution of information among participants such that can recover the secret but cannot. The coding theory has been an important role in the constructing of the secret sharing schemes. Since the code of a symmetric design is a linear code, this study is about the multisecret-sharing schemes based on the dual code of code of a symmetric design. We construct a multisecret-sharing scheme Blakley’s construction of secret sharing schemes using the binary codes of the symmetric design. Our scheme is a threshold secret sharing scheme. The access structure of the scheme has been described and shows its connection to the dual code. Furthermore, the number of minimal access elements has been formulated under certain conditions. We explain the security of this scheme.

Attended trainings were relatively few. Further, the program implementers assessed the quality services delivery for admission, guidance and counselling services, scholarship and financial assistance were delivered to a great extent while health, food and library services were rated moderate extent. Housing services were delivered to a slight extent. On the other hand, student leaders rated the quality services delivery of all areas was to a moderate extent. Significant differences in the assessments between program implementers and student leaders were noted in most areas except for student housing services where both concurred delivery to a slight extent. More so, the innovative practices to achieve quality student service delivery were delivered to a moderate extent. Based on the findings, a management plan for quality student service delivery for Mindoro and Marinduque state colleges was prepared. It was recommended that the management plan be reviewed for enhancement and tried for implementation to achieve quality student service delivery.

Published: August 2020

Ayurveda is the science of life. Panchakarma procedure comes under the shodhana chikitsa. Shodhanaa chikitsa is better than shamanaa chikitsa, because disease treated with shodhana therapy will never reoccur. Koshtha, Agni, bala are the assessment factor in Panchakarma. The term koshtha can be described in two ways. koshtha is nature of digestive tract or hollow parts of body which represents motility of the intestines and movement of food and fecal matter in the alimentary canal and elimination of stool. koshtha shodan is most important procedure in Panchakarma. Assessment of Koshtha is very important for Panchakarma therapy as Dosage of Shodhana drugs are dependent upon type of Koshtha. If Koshtha Assessment does not properly done then Samyak shodhan does not occur.
IMPACT EVALUATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) IN BHOPAL DUE TO INCREASE IN NUMBER OF PASSENGER CARS
Authors: Mudliar Niranjan , Singh Paramjeet 
Published: August 2020

India has been progressing steadily since last two decades in terms of affordability of commodity and purchasing power of the common man. This has given rise to demand which leads to the continuous economic growth. Of course, support from the Government of India as well as various state Governments has come in the form of reforms and infrastructure funding. However this growth has also seen the disadvantage of erratic consumption by wealthy persons as compared to the economically weaker sections, for example on one side there is heavy demand of passenger cars by the higher income group who uses it sparingly but on the other side people of the lower income group who are more in numbers have to rely on public transport. This imbalance creates a wider gap between public affordability to consume a particular commodity like passenger cars. On one side there are persons who buy the latest model introduced by the manufacturer in spite of having sufficient numbers at their disposal and on the other side basic lowest level model are out of reach of some persons in the society, who rely on two-wheeler or public transport which is not reliable.
This has not only created a huge gap in public expenditure but has also impact the environment. With year on year increase in number of vehicles in tier 2 cities like Bhopal, there is tremendous influence on the carbon dioxide (CO2) in and around the city. Past decade saw increase in maximum temperatures during summer rise by 3 – 4 degrees above normal in Bhopal and there is clear effect on the monsoon pattern too which has become inconsistent with rains reaching 120 mm in three days. Earlier this quantity was spread over a month. The last major season of winter is seen getting reduced to two months only from the earlier four, again with temperatures dropping suddenly below normal etc. This effect must be the result of increasing number of passenger vehicles in the city apart from other factors which also need detailed study for their influence.

Background Ethiopia has large unmet need for contraception among postpartum women. Community-level services may improve postpartum contraceptive use in Ethiopia and other contexts where home childbirth is common. This study estimated the additional effect of systematically integrating messages on postpartum family planning (PPFP) into community contacts with pregnant and postpartum women, on top of integrated facility contacts. Methods The quasi-experimental study was conducted in two districts in Oromia Regional State and used a controlled trial design with random assignment of primary health care units—a health center and surrounding health posts—to intervention and comparison arms. We used the log-rank test and fitted a multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model to estimate the adjusted hazard ratio (adjHR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for differences in contraceptive uptake by arm. Time from delivery to uptake of modern contraception was the outcome variable. We separately analyzed subsets of women by place of delivery, as this variable interacts with the study arm. Results A total of 772 pregnant women were enrolled February–March 2017 and re-interviewed 15 months later (May 2018). Loss to follow-up was 10% in intervention, 7% in comparison areas. Among women who delivered at home, there was higher PPFP adoption by one year postpartum in the intervention arm (35.2%, 95% CI: 28.8–42.4%) versus comparison arm (27.8%, 95% CI: 22.2–34.4%). In the adjusted Cox regression model, women who delivered at home in the intervention arm were 45% more likely to adopt contraception (adjHR1.45, CI: 1.01–2.07). There was no difference by arm for women who delivered in a facility. Conclusions Integrating PPFP into community-level services for pregnant and postpartum women and infants may have additional benefit on top of PPFP services at facilities. The intervention benefited women who delivered at home, an important target population in countries like Ethiopia, where many women do not deliver in a facility. This study, implemented under real world conditions, informs the PPFP body of evidence and fills a gap in research on the contribution of community-based PPFP in contexts where services are integrated within maternal, newborn, and child health care in facilities.
Implementation fidelity of tuberculosis infection prevention and control practices in three hospitals with the highest notified tuberculosis cases in Bhutan: a mixed method study

Published: August 2020

Background The rise in multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases indicates that it is being transmitted as a primary infection in the general population and has been linked to the health care environment. Studies in resource-limited countries have shown that even simple control measures to prevent TB (tuberculosis) infection appear to be inadequately implemented. This study aimed to assess implementation fidelity with a major focus on adherence, knowledge, and responsiveness to TB infection and prevention control (IPC) practices by exploring its barriers and enablers. Methods This research was an implementation research using a mixed-method explanatory sequential design. We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study of health care workers (HCWs) working in TB and TB patients enrolled in the three hospitals with the highest notified TB cases in Bhutan from May to August 2019 to assess the implementation fidelity of TB IPC practices. Structured questionnaires and a non-participatory observation checklist were used to assess adherence, knowledge, and responsiveness of the participants. We carried out descriptive statistical analysis for quantitative data and thematic analysis for qualitative data. Results The overall adherence proportion of the participants was poor, with a poor adherence score of 82.6% by the healthcare workers and 93.1% by the patients. HCWs were judged to have overall good knowledge. Most patients strongly agree to the perceptions about TB transmissible through air and visitors wearing masks when they visit the facility; however, the overall response rate score was only 33%. Two overarching themes, “poor administrative policy” and “behavior and attitude” are identified as key barriers and enablers to the implementation of the TB IPC. Conclusions There was inadequate IPC practice among healthcare workers and patients. The overall good knowledge of the HCWs did not appear to have a positive influence on adherence. Hence, there is a need for continuous improvement and mandatory training, surveillance, awareness, and sensitization.
