Authors: Raksun Ahmad , Mahrus Mahrus , Mertha I Gde 
Published: August 2020

In order to maintain soil fertility, NPK fertilizer applications that have been carried out by farmer need to be combined with non chemical fertilizer such as bokashi. Research on vegetative growth of kale land due to NPK and bokashi fertilizer has been carried out in Bajur Village, West Lombok Regency. The purpose of this research was to detemine: (1) vegetative growth of kale land due to different doses of NPK fertilizer, (2) vegetative growth of kale land due to different doses of bokashi, (3) the effect of interaction of NPK and bokashi fertilizer on growth of kale land, (4) Optimum dose of NPK fertilizer and bokashi for kale land. This research used 2 factors design. The first factor is the dose of NPK fertilizer and the second factors is the dose of bokashi. The growth parameters measured were stem height, leaf length, leaf width and number of kale land leaf. Reseach data analyzed using analysis of variance. The results showed that: (1) NPK fertilizer treatment significantly affected stem height, leaf length and kale leaf width, but have no significant effect on the number of kale land leaves, (2) bokashi aplication significantly affected stem heght, leaf length and kale land leaf width but did not significantly affect the number of kale land leaves, (3) the interaction of NPK fertilizer and bokashi did not significantly affect all growth parameters measured, (4) the optimun dose of bokashi for kale land is 1,2 kg for 8 kg of soil and the optimum dose of NPK fertilizer is 1,5 g per plant.ÃÂ It is recommended that kale land famers use 1,2 kg bokashi for 8 kg of soil and 1,5 g NPK fertilizer per plant.

Published: August 2020

Background: Haematological parameters are used as screening tools for patient’s care and treatment. Objective: To determine the haematological parameters of apparently healthy term Nigerian babies and generate normative data. Methods: This was a descriptive, longitudinal study of consecutively recruited babies. The haematological parameters were determined using venous blood samples drawn at delivery and on the 14th day of life using a haematology auto-analyser. Results: Of the 309 babies recruited on the first day of life, 160 (51.8%) were males while 149 (48.2%) were females. Two hundred and seventy-nine (90.3%) were delivered vaginally. Most (75%) of the neonates were of Nupe origin. The mean haematocrit, haemoglobin concentration, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Red Blood Cell and reticulocyte count on Day 1 were 48.8±8.0%, 15.0±2.6g/dl, 104.1±8.8fl, 31.9±3.3pg, 30.7±1.7g/dl, 4.7±0.9 (×109/l) and 2.0±1.4% respectively. Corresponding Day 14 values were 41.2±5.2%, 12.8±1.9g/dl, 97.2±9.8fl, 30.3±3.8pg, 31.1±1.7g/dl, 4.5±0.6 (×109/l) and 1.0±0.7% respectively. The mean White Blood Cell (WBC) and platelet counts were 13.3±4.8 (×109/l) and 228.3±81.2 (×109/l) respectively, on the 1st day of life and 10.1±2.4 (×109/l) and 370.1±120.7 (×109/l) respectively on the 14th day. The mean differential WBC counts were 49.4±12.0% for neutrophils and 37.4±11.3% for lymphocytes on the 1st day and 32.4±10.0% and 52.8±9.3% respectively on the 14th day. Conclusion: Neonates from Bida have haematological parameters comparable with previously reported values from other parts of Nigeria.
The attitude of Nigerian women to termination of pregnancies with major congenital anomalies
Authors: Enabudoso EJ , Akinmoladun JA 
Published: August 2020

Background: When couples are confronted with a pregnancy in which there is a major foetal anomaly, they have only two options: termination of the pregnancy or allowing the baby to be born. Objective: To determine the attitude of pregnant women in Nigeria to termination of pregnancies with major congenital anomalies. Methods: This is a descriptive study undertaken at two centres in Nigeria. Structured and pretested self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection including socio-demographics and attitude to termination of pregnancies with major congenital anomalies. Results: Three hundred and fifty-six pregnant women participated in the study. Most of the respondents were in the 21-40 years age group. More than half of the participants (236; 66.3%) agreed with the termination of pregnancies with major congenital anomalies and some of their reasons were "to prevent the baby from suffering" and "to prevent waste of resources”. For the 120 (33.7%) who did not agree with termination of such pregnancies, some of their reasons were “to trust God for a miracle” and “hoping that God will not allow such” Conclusion: The findings from this study show that majority of the women were favourably disposed to the termination of pregnancies with major anomalies. However, women with such pregnancies need to be adequately counselled to be aware of the consequences of the decisions they make. Also, in a country where there are legal restrictions of abortion, efforts should be made to consider termination of pregnancies with major anomalies in the abortion laws.

Objective: This study aimed to outline the epidemiological profile of reported cases of gestational syphilis in five cities in the Lower Amazon mesoregion between 2008 and 2018. Materials and Methods: The study was descriptive, bibliographic, and retrospective with a quantitative approach. The variables used were sociodemographic and epidemiological and the data was made available by the Ministry of Health in line with the Department of Surveillance, Prevention and Control of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STDs, HIV / AIDS) and Viral Hepatitis. The collected data were tabulated and processed with the aid of Microsoft Excel® 2010 and Action 2.8 software. Results: When characterizing the epidemiological profile, 949 reported cases of gestational syphilis were observed and the city of Santarém lead with 540 notifications. The age group between 20 and 29 years (52.6%), the race/color “Parda” (815), Incomplete Elementary School (42.7%) and the clinical classification of “Primary Syphilis” (465) predominated in all five cities. The prevailing gestational age was the “third trimester” and the treatment regimen adopted was Penicillin. Furthermore, the absence of some variables makes it difficult to build an epidemiological profile and efficient monetary targeting. Conclusion: Finally, this study can contribute to decisions by public agencies responsible for health care, as well as, instigate research in this region, in an attempt to grant more visibility to existing health problems, especially in the Amazonian interiors.

Published: August 2020

Relevance. Duodenal ulcer is complicated by perforation in 5-15% of patients. The priority area of abdominal surgery is the introduction of minimally invasive methods. Laparoscopic surgeries are becoming an alternative to standard technologies.
Objective: to analyze the effectiveness of open and laparoscopic palliative and conditionally radical surgical interventions in patients with perforated duodenal ulcer in the early and late two-year periods.
Materials and methods. The efficacy of open and laparoscopic palliative and conditionally radical surgical interventions was studied in 181 patients with perforated duodenal ulcer in the early and late two-year periods. The patients were divided into two groups: 92 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery and 89 patients who underwent open surgery. The groups are comparable in age, time from the onset of the disease, and the diameter of the ulcer. After the operation, the intensity of pain was assessed in points using a visual analog scale, the rate of healing. Complications in the early postoperative period were analyzed (wound suppuration, pneumonia, extrasystole, atrial fibrillation, abscesses, suture failure). Analyzed the development of peritonitis and its characteristics (serous-fibrinous, fibrinous-purulent; local, general).
Results. Laparoscopic operations take less time than open ones. In the first four days after surgery, the average pain score was significantly lower (p<0.05) in patients after minimally invasive surgery. There was a tendency towards earlier activation of patients in the group of laparoscopic operations. The duration of hospital stay after laparoscopic operations averaged 5.11±0.08 days (from 3 to 7 days) and was significantly less (p<0.05) for that in patients who underwent open surgery. The two-year cumulative incidence of ulcer recurrence in the group of laparoscopic operations was 16.3% (15 patients), in the group of open operations - 19.1% (17 patients).
Conclusions. Laparoscopic palliative and conditionally radical surgeries in patients with perforated ulcers have advantages in the early postoperative period, which is associated with minor pain syndrome and earlier activation of patients and, as a consequence, a decrease in the length of hospital stay. In the long-term two-year postoperative period, the results of palliative and conditionally radical operations in the laparoscopic and open versions did not differ significantly.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui performa burung puyuh periode grower yang diberi pakan berbahan tepung daun ubi kayu meliputi konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan, konversi ransum dan nilai IOFC (Income over feed cost). Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 Perlakuan (T0 = Ransum tanpa penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu, T1= 3% penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu, T2= 6% penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu dan T3= 9% penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu) dan 4 ulangan. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu dengan level 0%, 3%, 6% dan 9% berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap konsumsi ransum puyuh, sedangkan penggunaan tepung daun ubi kayu dalam ransum puyuh tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap pertambahan bobot badan dan konversi ransum puyuh. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah penambahan tepung daun ubi kayu hingga level 9% mampu meningkatkan konsumsi ransum, tetapi belum mampu meningkatkan pertambahan bobot badan, nilai IOFC (Income over feed cost) dan menurunkan konversi ransum.
Comparison of laparoscopic appendectomy versus open appendectomy in acute appendicitis in obese diabetic patients
Authors: Mohammuddunnobi - , Jahan Tasnuva , Amin Abdullah Al 
Published: August 2020

Background: Acute appendicitis (AC) is a common surgical problem requiring emergency hospitalization for urgent appendectomy. In case of diabetic patients, the incidence of developing acute appendicitis including its complications like abscess, gangrene and perforation is higher than non-diabetic. Day by day, laparoscopic appendectomy is having an improved outcome in non-diabetic and non-obese patients. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic appendectomy versus open appendectomy in acute appendicitis of obese diabetic patients.
Methods: A comparative study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital in Dhaka City. Hospitalized obese diabetic patients with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis, who underwent appendectomy, were considered as study population. Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m2 according to World Health Organization and American Obesity Association guidelines. Patients were divided into two groups according to type of appendectomy; 50 patients by laparoscopic appendectomy as group LA and 50 patients by open appendectomy as group OA.
Results: Most patients were obese I (30.0-34.9 kg/m2) in group LA and OA (92.0% and 86.0%, respectively, p<0.05). Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus was detected in most of the patients of both group LA (96.0%) and OA (98.0%). Mean operation time, mean duration of post-operation ileus, mean hospital stay and post-operation complications were less in group LA than group OA which is statistically significant (p< 0.05). No patient developed wound infection after laparoscopic appendectomy; whereas, 8.0% patients had wound infection in open appendectomy (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In this study, laparoscopic appendectomy had good outcome over its open counterpart regarding shorter operating time, hospital stay, less wound infection, postoperative pain and time to return to usual activities.

Different type 2 diabetes risk assessments predict dissimilar numbers at risk: a cross-sectional analysis of diabetes risk-assessment tools
Authors: Akter Nazma 
Published: August 2020

Background: Use of a validated risk-assessment tool to identify individuals at high risk of developing type2 diabetes is currently recommended. It is under-reported, however, whether a different risk tool alters the predicted risk of an individual. This study explored any differences between two commonly used validated risk-assessment tools for type2 diabetes.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted between July 2018 and June 2019 in the medicine outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Total 518 subjects, aged ranging from 22 to 68 years was included in the study. Randomly sampled non- diabetic subjects, and those who had previous history of high blood glucose during pregnancy or other health examination (i.e. impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance or gestational diabetes mellitus) were included for the study. With written informed consent, both the Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) and the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) questionnaire were used to collect the data including demographic characteristics and different risk factors of an individual subject, and to calculate total risk score for predictors the risk of developing T2DM within 10 years.
Results: Among 518 subjects, 48.1% were male and 51.9% were female. Differences between the risk-assessment tools were apparent following cross-sectional analysis of individuals. IDRS (Indian Diabetes Risk Score) categorized 37.8 % (male vs. female: 14.8 % vs. 23.0%) of individuals at high risk. Whereas, 8.3% (male vs. female: 1.9% vs. 6.4%) were at high risk according to FINDRISC (Finish Diabetes Risk Score) system.
Conclusions: The results indicate that the prevalence of participants at risk for developing type 2 diabetes varies considerably according to the scoring system used. To adequately prevent type2 diabetes, risk scoring systems must be validated for each population considered.

Clinical profile of 550 cases of surgical and natural menopause
Authors: Mahjabeen Nusrat , Nasreen Shaikh Zinnat Ara 
Published: August 2020

Background: Menopause represents the permanent cessation of menstrual periods and the loss of fertility due to the loss of ovarian function. It can occur spontaneously (natural menopause) or it can be surgically induced. They are different entirely. One is a natural stage of life that all women experience, the other is the result of surgery, that is, bilateral oophorectomy. Surgical menopause is when surgery, rather than the natural aging process, causes a woman to go through menopause. The ovaries are the main source of estrogen production in the female body. Their removal triggers immediate menopause, despite the age of the person having surgery. While surgery to remove the ovaries can operate as a stand-alone procedure, it is sometimes performed in addition to hysterectomy to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases. This study was designed to compare the effects of the natural and the surgical menopause.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Z. H. Sikder Women’s Medical College & Hospital, Dhaka from January 2016 to December 2018. During the study period a total of 275 patients with surgical menopause (total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was done in all cases) and 275 patients with natural menopause were enrolled. After taking written consent detailed information about the patients was collected in a predesigned data collection sheet for each patient.
Results: Age of most of the patients in surgical menopause group was within 41 to 50 years and most patients were >50 years old in natural menopause group. Most of the patients were illiterate in both groups and maximum patients were in poor socio-economic condition in both groups. Hot flush (48.0% vs 28.0%), palpitation (28.0% vs 4.0%) and dryness of vagina (12.0% vs 0.0%) were higher and body ache (32.0% vs 48.0%), tiredness (8.0% vs 36.0%), insomnia (8.0% vs 28.0%), depression (4.0% vs 16.0%), lack of concentration (0.0% vs 4.0%), loss of memory (0.0% vs 16.0%) and irritability (4.0% vs 8.0%) were found significantly lower in surgical menopause than natural menopause group. Dyspareunia (72.0% vs 28.0%), dysuria (92.0% vs 40.0%) and increased frequency of urination (68.0% vs 36.0%) were significantly higher in surgical menopause than natural menopause group. Urgency, hesitancy and incontinence of urination were significantly lower in surgical menopause than natural menopause group.
Conclusion: Ovaries were removed in all of the surgical menopause cases, which may be the reason of more deleterious effects in surgical menopause than natural menopause. So, it is highly recommended to preserve ovaries in hysterectomies due to benign indications.

Authors: Baki Md Abdul , Akhter Shahida , Nahar Jebun , Mohsin Fauzia , Khan Shareen 
Published: August 2020

Background: Fetal iron stores are affected by maternal diabetes and it is lower at birth in infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs). Risks for developing iron deficiency and neurocognitive impairment are reported in IDMs. This study was done to assess serum ferritin and red cell indices in IDMs and to compare the values with infants born to mothers without diabetes mellitus.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at BIRDEM General Hospital from March to October, 2018. Total 102 full term neonates were included in this study. Among them 70 neonates were IDMs and 32 were infants born to mother without diabetes mellitus. Serum ferritin and red cell indices like hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red cell distribution width (RDW) were measured within 48 hours of birth. Comparison of red cell indices and serum ferritin level were done between IDMs and infants of non-diabetes mothers. Statistical analysis was performed by using Epi info, and p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: IDMs had significantly higher value of Hb% (19.00 vs 17.47 g/dl), PCV (57.60 vs 52.67 %) and RDW (20.09 vs17.77 %) than infant of non-diabetic mother (p <0.05). But there was no significant difference regarding the values of MCV, MCH and MCHC between IDMs and infants of non-diabetic mothers (p >0.05). Serum ferritin level was found significantly low in IDMs (94.51 vs 307.50 ng/ml, p <0.001).
Conclusion: Iron stores of IDMs were found significantly lower at birth despite higher hemoglobin content, as indicated by lower serum ferritin level. Further studies and long-term follow up are needed to determine whether these infants are at risk for developing iron deficiency anemia or iron-deficient neurocognitive disorder
