Comparison of laparoscopic versus open gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for advanced gastric cancer: A meta-analysis
Authors: Mac Sandrie Mariella , Malla Ashish Bahadur 
Published: January 2020

For many decades, D2 procedure has been accepted in the far-east as the standard treatment for both early (EGC) and advanced gastric cancer (AGC). In case of AGC, the debate on the extent of nodal dissection has been open for many years in order to highlight the safety and efficacy of treatment, hence this study.
A comprehensive literature research was performed in PubMed to identify studies that compared laparoscopic- assisted gastrectomy (LAG) and open gastrectomy (OG) with D2 lymph node dissection (D2-LND) for treatment of AGC for the last five years. Data of interest were checked and subjected to meta-analysis with RevMan 5.3 software. The pooled risk ratios (RR) and weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.
Overall, 19 studies were included in this meta-analysis. LG had some advantages over OG, including shorter hospitalization (WMD -2.31; 95% CI -4.09 to -0.53; P = 0.01), less blood loss (WMD -120.49; 95% CI -174.27 to -66.71; P < 0.01), faster bowel recovery (WMD -0.55; 95% CI -0.86 to -0.24; P ˂ 0.01) and earlier ambulation (WMD -0.75; 95% CI -1.38 to -0.11; P = 0.02). In terms of surgical and oncological safety, LG could achieve similar lymph nodes (WMD, -0.94, 95% CI, -2.95 to 1.06; P=0.36), a lower complication rate [odds ratio (OR)=0.80; 95%CI, 0.68-0.97; P=0.02], and overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) comparable to OG.
In conclusion, for AGCs both techniques (LAG and OG) appeared comparable in short- and long-term results. More time was needed to perform LAG; nonetheless, it had some advantages in achieving faster postoperative recovery over OG. In order to clarify this controversial issue ongoing trials and future studies are needed.

Authors: Pokharel Ridesh , Pokharel Bibhor , Bhusal Rajan , Chapagain Deepika 
Published: January 2020

Introduction: Nutrition is simply the process of intake of food which is required according to the body need. A well balanced food with regular physical activity is a foundation for a good health. Some effects in health such as reduced immunity, increased susceptibility to disease, poor physical and mental development and reduction in productive capacity can be seen as a result of poor nutrition. The indicators of nutrition are stunting, wasting, underweight and overweight among the children.
Methods: The 2016 Nepal Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) measured the height and weight of eligible children under age 5 in sample households. Weight measurements were taken from lightweight SECA infant scales with a digital display (model no. SECA 878U), designed and supplied by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Height was measured with a measuring board (Shorr Boards®). Recumbent length was measured for children younger than age 24 months, and standing height was measured for older children.
Results: Overall, 36% of children under age 5 were stunted, with 12% being severely stunted (too short for their age); 10% were wasted, with 2% severely wasted (too thin for their height); and 27% were underweight, with 5% severely underweight (too thin for their age), while around 1% of the children were overweight (heavy for their height).
Conclusion: The different indicators of nutritional status among children such as stunting, wasting and underweight are decreasing. The national program and effective contribution from several non-governmental agencies is the main reason for the improvement in nutritious status.

INTRODUCTION: Thyroid disorder is common endocrine disorder second to diabetes. With the advancement of laboratory facilities in urban and rural areas, detection rate of thyroid disorder is escalating. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can lead to dreaded complication like hypertensive heart disease, coronary arterial disease, arthralgia, severe myalgia, infertility, arrhythmia and many more, so our study helps us to know the awareness amongst a group of population from mid Western part of Nepal.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is cross sectional descriptive study, conducted in mid Western region of Nepal, among 105 subjects attending Neuro and Allied Clinic, Bhairahawa, Nepal from 15 August, 2019 to 20 August. 2019.
RESULTS: Majority 42 (40%) of participants are of age group 36-40 years and are housewives. All are literate and 91 (87%) are married. Most of them 93 (88%) know that it is common in female and one third of them has had their family history positive for this disorder. More than half 37 (53%) of the respondents had inadequate awareness on thyroid disorders whereas 33 (47%) had adequate awareness with mean score 19.9 and 12.4 standard deviation. The maximum score of awareness related question was 42 and minimum 3 obtained by the respondents out of 53. Finally, there is an association between age, education level, occupation status of respondents, respondent's family members or herself having thyroid disease with awareness level (P ? 0.005), but no association between marital status and awareness level.
CONCLUSION: This study reveals majority of people are aware of thyroid disorder but still awareness is inadequate. So, it is mandatory to perform public awareness by NGOs, INGOs and Government sector about thyroid disorder for early diagnosis and to prevent from its complications.

Published: January 2020

Cada aniversario obliga, de cierta manera, a ver al pasado, a dar una mirada al futuro y a tomar conciencia del presente. En nuestra cultura son especiales las celebraciones cuyas cifras se miden en lustros, décadas o siglos. Experimentamos una particular emoción cuando cumplimos 10, 25 o 50 años. Sentimos, por ejemplo, que los números de las revistas representan el inicio de nuevas etapas y la confrontación con la vida de una manera distinta. Hombres e instituciones asumimos cada una de ellas como un hito desde el cual se da una mirada al camino recorrido, se pone a prueba la seguridad del suelo que pisamos y se reafirman las sendas que decidimos emprender con el avizoramiento de las nuevas vías por donde transitaremos los siguientes años.

Published: January 2020

The objective of the work was to determine the possibility of drug correction of endothelial dysfunction, structural changes in peripheral arteries and the synthesis of end products of nitric oxide metabolism by the use of a combination of roflumilast and quercetin in the baseline therapy. In contrast to the baseline, the use of integrated therapy was followed in 6 months by a probable increase in the initial rate by 18.76 % (0.61 ± 0.04) m/s to (0.75 ± 0.04) m/s (t = 2.47; P < 0.05) and a probable decrease in the initial diameter of the brachial artery to (3.69 ± 0.29) mm (t = 2.49; P < 0.05). Patients of the experimental group have shown a significant increase in mean values of EDVD at the end of in-patient treatment and after 6 months of intensive supportive therapy (t = 2.17; Р < 0.05). The appointment of complex therapy after 6 months showed an increase in concentration in the blood of metabolites of NO in 1,3 times to (10.35 ± 1.89) μmol/l (t = 1.00; P > 0.1) at normal (12.05 ± 2.11) μmol/l. In patients of the index group after six months of the background therapy, IMT index has appeared in 1.07 times lower than the input data and has not reached the level of the control group. The IMT index for patients in the experimental group was considerably lower than the index before treatment (t = 0.31; P > 0.1). Application of complex therapy in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the exacerbation phase in combination with stable coronary heart disease, stable angina pectoris I–II FK contributes to the restoration of endothelial function, improves structural changes in the peripheral arteries and has a stimulating effect on the synthesis of nitric oxide.

Abstrak
Dalam penelitian ini diajukan tiga hipotesis, yaitu terdapat hubungan antara
kecerdasan emosional dengan prestasi belajar Fiqih, terdapat hubungan antara
kecerdasan spiritual dengan prestasi belajar Fiqih, dan terdapat hubungan
antara kecerdasan emosional dan kecerdasan spiritual siswa secara bersamasama (simultan) dengan prestasi belajar Fiqih. Sebanyak 60 siswa (30%),
dipilih dari 200 siswa dengan sampel random menjadi sampel penelitian ini.
Untuk membantu proses pengumpulan data telah digunakan alat pengumpul
data berupa tes, angket, dan dokumentasi. Selanjutnya, data terkumpul
dianalisis dengan menggunakan teknik analisis regresi, baik regresi sederhana
maupun ganda.Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Ada hubungan positif
yang signifikan antara kecerdasan emosional dan prestasi belajar Fiqih siswa.
(2) Ada hubungan positif yang signifikan antara kecerdasan spiritual dan
prestasi belajar Fiqih siswa. (3) Ada hubungan positif yang signifikan antara
motivasi belajar dan kecerdasan intelektual secara bersama-sama terhadap
prestasi belajar Fiqih siswa.Dengan kata lain, kedua variabel (kecerdasan
emosional dan kecerdasan spiritual siswa) saling berinteraksi dan
mempengaruhi pada variabel prestasi belajar Fiqih siswa. Oleh karena itu,
kecerdasan emosional dan kecerdasan spiritual siswa, sangat diperlukan
perhatian yang serius, sebagai upaya peningkatan prestasi belajar Fiqih siswa
