La presente investigación pretende identificar si la realización de práctica deportiva y de actividad física tiene influencia en el rendimiento académico de adolescentes en su etapa escolar. Se ha tomado a través de un enfoque cuantitativo con carácter inferencial, una muestra de 91 alumnos estudiantes de ESO (n=91). Los instrumentos utilizados han sido el cuestionario mundial de actividad física GPAQ (OMS, 2004), valoración subjetiva de la práctica deportiva y una serie de cuestiones sobre el rendimiento académico, centradas en la nota media del último trimestre y número de asignaturas suspendidas. Los resultados muestran que los alumnos que exponen mayores niveles de actividad física tienen un mejor rendimiento académico que los que no realizan dicha práctica. A su vez, estos resultados son más positivos cuantas más horas de práctica deportiva se realizan, y los alumnos que realizan cualquier tipo de práctica deportiva tienen una valoración más positiva que los alumnos inactivos.
This research aims to identify whether the performance of sport and physical activity influences the academic achievement of adolescents in their school years. To do this, it has been taken through a quantitative approach to inferential character, a sample of 91 students of ESO students (n = 91). On the one hand, sport and physical activity was measured through global physical activity questionnaire GPAQ (OMS, 2004), on the other hand, have implemented a number of questions on academic performance, focusing on the overall rating the last quarter and the number of failed subjects in addition to their subjective assessment of sports. The results show that students exhibiting higher levels of physical activity have better academic performance than those not involved in the practice, both in its upper half note as the lower number of failed subjects. In turn, these results are more positive when many hours of sport are made, and students who perform also any kind of sports have a more positive assessment than physically inactive students.

Authors: Davudova Revana I. 
Published: November 2020

Aims: The study focuses on an empirical analysis of a macroeconomic indicators system, that reflect the level and pace of a country's socio-economic development, such as CPI, PPI, GDP per capita, exchange rate, taking into account the consequences of the COVID19 pandemic and oil prices on the example Republic of Azerbaijan.
Study Design: The study consists of four sections. It includes Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results and Discussion and Conclusion.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted for 4 months of 2020 in the department of "Mathematical support of economic research" of the Institute of Economics of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences.
Methodology: Within the dynamic VEC model, taking into account the COVID19 pandemic and oil prices, the long-run and short-run effects of macro indicators system on each other were studied by means of causality, impulse responses and variance decomposition on the monthly statistics covering the period 2015M01-2020M07 for the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Results: Calculations based on the established stable VEC (5) model revealed that there is a long-term causal relationship from the triad (CPI, PPI, Ex_Rate) to all endogenous variables. There are a short-term bi-directional causal relationship between CPI and GDP_Per_Capita and between PPI and Ex_Rate. From PPI and Ex_Rate to GDP_Per_Capita; from Ex_Rate to CPI, there are a unidirectional short-term causal relationship.
Conclusion: Summarizing the results, we can write the following long-term expressions: the change a) in the GDP_per_Cap is influenced by the PPI and CPI variables negatively, and Ex_Rate – positively; b) in the CPI is influenced by the GDP_per_Cap and PPI variables negatively, and Ex_Rate – positively; c) in the PPI is influenced by the Ex_Rate and CPI variables negatively, and GDP_per_Cap – positively, so that the negative influence of the CPI is greater; d) in the Ex_Rate is influenced by the PPI and CPI variables negatively, and GDP_per_Cap – positively. Has been also identified that the indicator PPI has a more negative effect on changes in GDP_per_Cap, CPI and Ex_Rate.

Authors: Sayyed Anjum A. K. , Sontakke Alka N. 
Published: November 2020

Background: Preeclampsia is multisystem disorder. Despite its prevalence and severity, the pathophysiology of this multisystem disorder is poorly understood. In concern regarding the increasing number of preeclamptic cases and lack of data about the levels of trace elements in preeclampsia, a case-control study was conducted with aim to determine the trace elements like serum total copper and serum total zinc in preeclampsia.
Aims: To estimate alterations in serum copper and serum zinc in preeclampsia and to compare them with normal pregnant women.
Study Design: This is a case control study, carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, MIMER Medical College, Talegaon Dabhade, Pune.
Methods: The present study consisted of 120 study participants. These were divided into two groups. Group I - normal pregnant women as control (n=60) and Group II - preeclamptic group (n=60). The serum levels of copper and zinc were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP- AES) technique at IIT Mumbai.
Results: Analysis revealed that mean values of total serum copper and total serum zinc were 196.20 ± 25.9 and 77.15 ± 14.5 (µg/dl) respectively in control group. In preeclamptic group, the mean values of copper and zinc were 213.13± 38.6 and 76.23 ± 13.13 (µg/dl) respectively. Copper was significantly increased in preeclamptic group, while non-significant reduction in levels of zinc levels was observed when compared to control group.
Conclusion: In the present study, significantly high serum copper was observed in preeclamptic patients. Presence of high copper levels may be related factor in the etiopathogenesis of preeclampsia. Estimation of trace elements like copper and zinc may help clinicians in early diagnosis and minimizing or delaying complications of preeclampsia, hence preventing harm to both mother & fetus.
Malarial Related Myopathies: A Rhabdomyolysis Story
Authors: Siagian Forman Erwin 
Published: November 2020

Malaria is amongst the most prevalent and epidemiologically relevant global parasitic protozoan infections. It is infecting millions of people annually, especially in south east Asia and sub Saharan Africa. Its morbidity and mortality still cannot be controlled entirely and elimination is still far away. Children and pregnant women are among the most vulnerable group in the population. Its pathobiology have related to cause direct or indirect deleterious effect on the patient’s skeletal muscle, named rhabdomyolysis. Eventhough it is very rare, but potentially fatal and lethal. Three mechanism of malaria related rhabdomyolysis are very intense inflammatory response, extensive red cells sequestration in muscle capillaries due to severe anemia and the parasite toxin’s, will lead to or add risks of complication. Derangement of specific type of muscle, named the skeletal and cardiac, is amongst the earliest sign of severe malaria. Further study need to be conducted in the future, especially on important topics about mechanism and its effect, signaling pathways, best practice on laboratory approach and management strategy best practice.

Authors: Sharma Geetanjali 
Published: November 2020

Aims/ Objectives: To study the importance of electrophysiological tests in diagnosing hereditary motor sensory neuropathy in absence of genetic studies.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Physiology, Pt. B.D. Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak, Haryana, India.
Methodology: The patients were referred from the Department of Medicine to the Department of Physiology for nerve conduction, F-wave, EMG, VEP & BERA studies.
Results: On electrophysiological examination, there was symmetrical decreased motor conduction velocity of median nerve (less than 38 m/sec), ulnar, tibial and peroneal nerves except in the first patient where the left peroneal nerve conduction velocity was not recordable with decreased amplitude and increased distal motor latencies. Sensory conduction velocities for bilateral median nerves were also decreased with increased latency and decreased amplitude in both the patients. Sensory conduction velocity and amplitudes of bilateral sural nerves were decreased in the first patient with increased latencies. However, sensory conduction velocity wasn’t recordable for bilateral sural nerves in the other patient. EMG shows decrease in recruitment of motor unit potentials, amplitude in bilateral tibial, peroneous, abductor digiti minimi & 1st dorsal interosseus muscle in the first patient. In proximal upper & lower limb muscles, EMG showed features of denervation. In the second patient, EMG was not advised. VEP in one patient had increased latency of P100 wave & other had normal VEP. Brainstem auditory evoked potential was normal in both patients.
Conclusion: The paper highlights the importance of electrophysiological studies in diagnosis of motor sensory neuropathy in absence of genetic studies. Marked slowing of conduction velocity is the hallmark of CMDT1 [demylinating type].

Authors: Rasel Nur-E-Alam , Alam Md. Sofiqul , Zahan Mohammad Akther-uz- , Hossain Md. Shahi Emran 
Published: November 2020

Background: Over the past few decades, chronic kidney disease (CKD) with high serum creatinine has turned into an intensive clinical and epidemiological research in Bangladesh as well as globally. Even though the transparency provided by the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines, there appears to be within the CKD with high serum creatinine research literature significant dissimilarity on how to define CKD and assess kidney function. In this situation homeopathic symptomatic treatment can play a vital role in CKD with high creatinine. Methods: The cases of four patients with CKD and high creatinine from our observations are discussed, those whom were benefited by homeopathic treatment. The more common remedies administered in the treatment of CKD with high creatinine include: Lycopodium clavatum, Apis mellifica, Apocynum cannabinum, Aurum muriticum, Cuprum metalicum Cantharis, Sarsaparilla, Glonoine, Serum anguillae, Berbaris vulgaris,… etc. The patho-physiologies, diagnosis, review of CKD and serum creatinine are discussed. These case study analyses of CKD emphasize that a consideration of CKD symptoms with high serum creatinine, in addition to more constitutional symptoms, is important when homeopathically analyzing these cases.
Results: The positive effects of different homeopathic medicines were clearly reducing serum creatinine during the treatment of CKD patients without hemodialysis with cost effectiveness and most harmless way.
Conclusions: These case study analyses found that early proper diagnosis, most appropriate selection of homeopathic remedies and follow-up is important to cure the CKD with high serum creatinine and possible resulting renal failure can be dreadful.

Aim: The study aimed to analyze the effect of Sitagliptin with Glimepiride during the treatment to improve pancreatic beta-cells in T2DM patients. Beta cells are type of cell found in pancreatic islet and also synthesize, secrete the insulin and amylin. Sitagliptin is found to be maintaining the beta-cells function and glycaemic control in T2DM patients.
Place and Duration of Study: Sample: This study open label randomized T2DM patients, study was conducted at the, Felix multi-specialty hospital, Noida U.P with enrolled patients from 1st Oct, 2017 to 30st Sept, 2019.
Methodology: Randomly diabetes mellitus type-2 (T2DM) patients’ data is collected (110patients) for statistical analysis. For this study T2DM patients enrolled with age of 30-60 years, treated with Sitagliptin and Glimepiride once a day. The baseline of HbA1c >7.0% to <10.5% thus, the performed student t-test is to find out the significance role.
Results: The 110 patients are distributed in two groups: one Sitagliptin user group (n=62) and second Glimepiride user group (n=43). The sitagliptin treatments may also protect also beta cells as pancreas may not able to regenerate beta cell.
Conclusion: The sitagliptin treatments may also protect beta cells as pancreas may not able to regenerate beta cell.

AbstractMoisture stress and low soil fertility are among the most important factors responsible for low productivity and profitability of peanut (Arachis hypogaeaL.) in India. Conservation agriculture (CA) can delay or minimize moisture stress impacts on crop plants and improve the soil fertility. Hence, a field experiment was conducted at Research Farm of ICAR‐Directorate of Groundnut Research, Junagadh, during 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 to evaluate the effects of different CA practices on soil moisture, soil fertility, yield, and profitability of peanut systems. Treatments consisted of four tillage practices in main plots (conventional tillage [CT], minimum tillage [MT], zero tillage [ZT], and rotary tillage [RT]); two residue management practices in sub‐plots (residue removal [NR] and residue retention [RR]), and two intercropping systems in sub‐sub plots using peanut, pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan(L.) Millsp.], and cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL.) (peanut+pigeonpea [PP] and peanut+cotton [PC]) systems and replicated thrice. Minimum tillage and residue management practice RR improved soil moisture content, soil porosity, soil organic C, nutrient status (mainly at 0–15 cm), and soil enzymatic activities and decreased soil temperature variation and soil penetration resistance. Minimum tillage and RR resulted in higher financial returns over CT and NR, respectively. Among the cropping systems, PP was found more productive and profitable as compared to PC. Thus, in the light black soils of Saurashtra, India, MT along with RR seems to be a suitable option particularly during the initial years of shifting to CA to retain soil moisture, improve soil fertility, and provide higher financial returns.
