Published: January 2021

The political and theological scenes took a drastic change in the Muslim Ummah of Asia and to some extent in Europe and America after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the twin towers. It seriously affected the Muslims populated regions and the Diasporas stretching from East to West (Solomn, 2007)[i]. Apparently, Islam faced many threats from the secular West in the form of socio-political sanctions. However, this catastrophic incident also ignited in Muslims to review their Muslims identity and to launch an organized effort to establish the real identity of Islam. The undertaken investigation is an attempt in this regard that how the protagonist Changez in Mohsin Ahmad’s “Reluctant Fundamentalist” shapes into a Islamic fundamentalist after 9/11 attacks and comes back to Pakistan although he was a having a promising career in America that time.

Aim:
To evaluate and analyze the surgical outcome of limbal conjunctival autograft by cut and paste method after pterygium excision.

Materials and Methods:
Prospective, interventional, hospital based study. 65 eyes of 65 patients with primary pterygium were graded, and excision with free limbal conjunctival autograft (LCAG) was performed by the single surgeon allowing natural autologous coagulum of the recipient bed to act as a bio adhesive. The outcomes were assessed in terms of operative time, postoperative pain, any recurrence, and complication(s) at post operative day 1 and at each follow-up visit at day 7, 30, 120 and 180.

Results:
There were 34 males (52.3%) and 31 females (47.7%). The mean age of all the patients was 43.48 ± 12.128 years, ranging between 23 to 76 years. Cosmetic blemish was the chief indication of surgery (48 eyes, 73.8%). Mean graft size was 14.4mm2. No recurrence occurred. Graft related complications occurred in 5 eyes (7.6%); graft displacement in 3 eyes, cystic degeneration in 1 eye and sub-conjunctival haemorrhage in 1 eye. The average surgical time was 16.91 ± 2.972 minutes. Post operative pain was less which was graded on Visual analogue scale.

Conclusion:
The- surgical technique of using a suture-free and glue-free conjunctivo-limbal autograft is safe and cost-effective method, with less operative time and post operative pain, without adding possible potential hazard of the surgical adjunct.

Authors: Singh Deependra Vikram , Mathur Gaurav , Bhardwaj Rishi , Sharma Ajay 
Published: December 2020

Study Design:
In an observational cross-sectional study, 91 eyes of 46 consecutive patients underwent simultaneous Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) for common retinal disorders. The FFA images captured by both cameras were graded by 3 Retinologists (DVS, GM, RB) in a structured format. 7 characteristics of FFA images that were used for grading were Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) visualization, identifying branch retinal vein, Identification of any abnormal hyper fluorescence at macula, Identification of Micro aneurysms, Identification of capillary non perfusion areas and identification of leakage from retinal neovascularization, Image quality and Impact on Clinical decision. Results were captured and statistically analyzed for interobserver and intercamera agreements.

Results:
Out of total 7 features in FFA images graded by 3 Retinologists, 4 characteristics were found to have statistically significant intercamera agreement for 3 retinologists. These were Identification of any abnormal hyper fluorescence at macula, Identification of Micro aneurysms, Identification of capillary non perfusion areas and identification of leakage from retinal neovascularization. These 4 characteristics also had very good agreement between 3 retinologists.

Conclusion:
Based on this pilot study, we can conclude that the Fluorescein Angiography performance of this low-cost portable Fundus camera for detecting clinically relevant findings was comparable to a standard Fundus camera. We conclude that in resource limited settings, this low-cost portable Fundus camera can be a useful alternative to standard Fundus camera for treating common retinal disorders..

Published: January 2021

Psychosocial wellbeing is essential for children’s survival and development. Children’s homes provide temporary care to children until they can return to their families or a long-term alternative living arrangement is achieved. The number of children entering the children’s homes is increasing rapidly. They have to face lots of challenges in their life. The purpose of this study was to find out their psychosocial wellbeing. The sample of six participants was selected through the convenience sampling method from two children’s homes. They were between the ages of 12 to 18 years. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Research findings indicated that living in children’s homes has been entirely different from living in a family. They have sufficient basic facilities such as food, clothing, medical care, educational facilities, and other sanitation facilities. Although children were meeting their physical needs at the children’s homes their psychosocial requirements remained more or less unaddressed. Most of the children reported that their life in the children's homes was not happy. Accordingly, they experienced one or more psychosocial problems that influenced their psychosocial wellbeing.

Patients and Methods: This is a prospective descriptive study involved pediatric patients aged from day 1 until age of 15 years who were referred to the Cardiology department at Almugref Teaching Hospital for suspected CHD. Data were collected over a period of one year and all the recruited patients were subjected to a full cardiovascular system (CVS) examination and 2D Echocardiography (ECHO).
Results and Conclusions: Out of the 719 total referred cases, 332 (46.1%) were confirmed having underlying CHD with predominant a cyanotic type 307 (92.5%). In terms of gender predominance, male to female ratio was 1.1: 1(176 vs. 156). Frequency of CHD in order frequency was as follow: Atrial septal defect (ASD) 134; 40.4%, Ventricular septal defect ( VSD) 102; 30.8%, Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) 31; 9.3%, Pulmonary stenosis (PS)15; 4.5%, Atrioventricular (AV) canal defects 12; 3.6%, Aortic stenosis (AS)11; 3.3%, Tetraology of fallot (TOF) 9; 2.7%, Transposition of great arteries (TGA) 4; 1.2%, complex CHD (4; 1.2%), Rhabdomyoma (3;0.9%), total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage ( 3; 0.9%), Truncus arteriosus (TA) 2; 0.6%, Pulmonary atresia (PA)1; 0.3%, Co-arctation of aorta (COA) 1; 0.3%. In terms of the outcome, majority of the patients in a cyanotic group were advised for scheduled follow-ups (240; 78.18%), and almost a quarter had their heart defects being closed spontaneously in the initial visits (53; 17.26%). Further, eleven patients have undergone a surgical closure (3.58%) and three patients died early (0.9%). In contrast, almost a third of the cyanotic group died shortly after the diagnosis was made (8; 32%), and seven patients were successfully operated (28%); whereas ten cases offered a close monitoring with frequent follow ups (40%).

Published: January 2021

‘Bhoochethana’ (Bhoo= soil; Chethana =rejuvenation) scheme was launched by the Government of Karnataka in the year 2009 in technical collaboration with ICRISAT to enhance the yield level of major dry land crops by adopting integrated crop management (ICM) practices. The primary strategy of Bhoochetana is soil test based nutrient management with a major thrust on micronutrients and bio-fertilizers. In this study, the cost and returns, resource use efficiency and functional analysis of redgram production among the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of Bhoochetana scheme have been reported. The study has been conducted in the Kalaburagi District of Karnataka State which is an economically backward region with large part of the area is under dry land and redgram is the predominant crop. The study found that cost of cultivation of redgram among beneficiaries was marginally higher than non- beneficiaries. But, beneficiaries harvested additional redgram and their returns were also higher. The ratio of MVP to MFC (Resource use efficiency) was also higher among the beneficiaries compared to non-beneficiaries. A significant positive co-efficient of dummy variable indicate that the Bhoochetana beneficiaries realised higher redgram production by 0.38 quintals per farm. Hence, the schemes like Bhoochetana are highly beneficial for the dry-land farmers when they are implemented and monitored efficiently.
Nematoregulatory Effect in Industrial Banana Plantations of Service Plants, Crotalaria retusa, Cajanus cajan, Brachiaria decumbens and Panicum maximum in Fallow Land in the South Comoé Region of Côte d’Ivoire
Authors: Gnénakan Yeo , Martial Kassi Koffi Fernand Jean- , Henri N’Guessan Patrick , Sorho Fatogoma , Daouda Koné 
Published: January 2021

Aims: In the context of promoting alternative cropping systems with less chemical inputs, studies on the introduction of service plants to reduce pesticide use are a major research effort. The pest caused by plant parasitic nematodes is a major constraint in banana cultivation. One of the main alternatives to the use of chemical nematicides is the rational use of service plants with nematoregulatory properties in crop rotation.
Study Design: The experiment was carried out following Complete randomized design (CRD) with three replications.
Place and Duration of Study: In industrial banana plantations located in the town of Ayamé, 40 km from the town of Aboisso in the forest area of southeast Côte d’Ivoire, between March to October 2016.
Methodology: Among the candidate species, Crotalaria retusa, cajanus cajanus, Brachiaria decumbens and Panicum maximum were evaluated because of their nematoregulatory ability, promoting better sanitation of banana plots infested with nematodes. The experiment tested the behaviour of four service plant species in the field over a period of 8 months during a banana fallow (Musa spp.) populated by nematodes (Radopholus similis, Pratylenchus coffeae, Helicotylenchus multicinctus and Meloidogyne spp.).
Results: The results obtained showed that all the service plants used had a purifying effect on nematodes except Cajanus cajan. Soil and root analyses of host plants show the nematoregulatory action of Crotalaria retusa, Cajanus cajan, Brachiaria decumbens and Panicum maximum by reducing the number of nematodes after 8 months of fallow. Fallows of poacea are the ones that reduce the most Radopholus similis and Pratylenchus coffeae rates. A reduction in the length of fallow time was also noted.
Conclusion: This research has made it possible to improve the management of banana fallow land. This will ultimately help to define, under Côte d'Ivoire environmental conditions, a permanent living cover in association and/or rotation with the banana tree, in order to sustainably improve banana cultivation.

Published: January 2021

Aim: To identify the drug class and/or duration of treatments causing hyposideremia.
Study Design: Retrospective case-control study.
Place and Duration of Study: Departments of Internal Medicine and Pharmacy, Aragón Health Services Services Hospital Real de Nuestra Señora de Gracia, between January 2019 and December 2019.
Methodology: The records of prescripted medicines of all patients admitted to Internal Medicine service, for various indications, along a 1-year period (2019), which were ultimately analized according to association with hyposideremia.
Results: It was identified several drugs associated with low plasma iron levels: acetylcysteine and apixaban, which would increase the risk of hyposideremia. On the contrary, we found that allopurinol, duloxetine and simvastatin would protect against the appearance of hyposideremia.
Conclusion: Acetylcysteine and apixaban, alone or in combination with different pathologies, would be capable of inducing, and on dependence of the duration of treatment and/or of the concomitant pathology, hyposideremia, iron deficiency and, in certain cases, anemia constituting a major health problem.

Published: January 2021

To assess and compare the levels of arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead, in common seafoods (mudskippers, periwinkle and Shrimp) consumed in Rivers state obtained from different creeks of Rivers State Nigeria.
Study Design: Commonly consumed seafoods in Rivers State: Periopthalmus barbarous (mudskipper), Pandalus borealis (shrimp) and Tympanotonus fucatus (periwinkle) were collected at 5 different occasions from each of the study location (creek): Eagle Island, Iwofe, Bodo and Borokiri creeks in Rivers State. Eagle Island and Iwofe creeks are in Obio/Apkor and Degema LGA respectively, Borokiri Creek is in Port Harcourt LGA while Bodo creek is located in Gokana LGA.
Study Area: The study was carried out in the Department of Medical Laboratory Science, Rivers State University between the periods of June, 2018 – March, 2019. Samples of seafoods were collected from Bodo, Eagle Island, Borokiri and Iwofe creeks of Rivers State for 5 times at interval of 30 days between the periods of June, 2018 – October, 2018 during the wet season.
Methodology: Periopthalmus barbarous, Pandalus borealis, and Tympanotonus fucatus were collected from Eagle Island, Iwofe, Bodo and Borokiri creeks. The samples were correctly labeled, dried in an oven at 80°C, ground to powdered form then sieved to attain homogenous particles. Each sample was weighed, recorded and the concentrations of metals in the samples were determined. Two (2) grams each of the ground samples were weighed and put into a beaker with 6mls of nitric acid (HNO3) which was added as oxidizing acid to break the sample matrix and 2ml of perchloric acid as a reagent with 2 mls of de-ionized water was added to blend it. The sample was place on a heating mantle at 105°C until the sample volume reduced to two third of its original volume, the sample color clear and turns yellowish and its entire component was digested. The concentration of HMs: lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury in the digested seafood samples were analysed using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentration of HMs from the sample were determined from the absorbance calibration in parts per million (ppm) or mg/kg dw.
Results: The bio-concentration mercury and arsenic in the selected seafoods from the creeks were below the World Health Organization permissible limits while levels of cadmium and lead in the seafoods in the order of periwinkle>mudskipper>shrimp collected from these creeks were above the FAO/WHO permissible limits of 0.5 1.0 mg/kg dw and 2.0 mg/kg dw respectively.
Conclusion: Mudskipper, periwinkle and shrimp were observed to bio-accumulate HMs beyond FAO/WHO permissible limits. Toxicities of these HMs in humans could induce several clinical derangements and eventually death if drastic measures are not put in place to stop or limit these anthropogenic activities.
