Parasitofauna of ground-dwelling anurans from cocoa plantations in Ugboke, Edo State, Nigeria
Authors: Edo-Taiwo O. , Aisien M.S.O. 
Published: April 2021

The parasitofauna of ground-dwelling anurans from pesticide-treated cocoa plantations (CP) in Ojo Camp, Ugboke, Edo State of Nigeria were investigated and compared with those recovered from host specimens collected from the village settlement (VS). The anurans were caught by hand following visual or acoustic location. The anurans encountered in both the VS and the CP included Aubria subsigillata, Hylarana spp. (H. albolabris and H. galamensis), Sclerophrys spp. (S. maculata and S. regularis), Ptychadena spp. (P. aequiplicata, P. longirostris, P. mascareniensis, P. oxyrhynchus and P. pumilio) and Hoplobatrachus occipitalis. Hylarana galamensis, Ptychadena spp. and Sclerophrys spp. were encountered in the VS and the CP while Aubria subsigillata, H. albolabris and H. occipitalis occurred only in the CP. The helminth parasites recovered included four cestode species (adult of Cylindrotaenia jaegerskioeldi and three encysted proteocephalid larvae), five Polystoma spp. 11 species of digeneans and 19 nematode species. More parasite species were recovered from toads collected from the VS; parasite prevalence was generally low in both habitats but the intensity of infection was higher in the specimens collected from the VS. Although cip A. subsigillata and H. ocitalis both occurred in the CP, A. subsigillata was the more susceptible host of the two, harbouring 16 helminth parasites as against four from H. occipitalis. Polystomes were recovered from H. albolabris and H. galamensis in addition to Diplodiscus fischthalicus and Mesocoelium spp. Infections occurred mostly among the Ptychadeniidae collected from the CP, with prevalence ranging from 12.5% to 100% and infection intensity from 1.0 to 13.0. The generally low parasite burden in anurans from the CP can possibly be attributed to the pesticide contamination of this habitat which may have hindered the development of the free-living stages of parasites in this milieu.

Published: April 2021

Tsetse fly infestation in national parks is a major health risk to both the wildlife and tourists coming to sub-Saharan Africa. However, information on distribution and diversity of tsetse flies and trypanosome infection rate in Protected Areas like Old Oyo National Park in south-west Nigeria is largely unknown. Thus, the study evaluates distribution and diversity of tsetse flies in Magurba Range of Old Oyo National Park. Twelve Nzi traps were set at 50 m equidistance to capture Glossina species for a period of six months between February and August, 2019, considering both the altitudinal and ecological significance. A total of 136 tsetse flies belonging to four species; G. palpalis, G. tachinoides, G. morsitans and G. fusca; were captured. More Glossina species were captured during dry season 77.9% (70.0-84.6) than the wet season 22.1% (15.4-30.0). There was significant difference (p = 0.0001; x2 = 84.9; OR = 12.5) between the proportion of Glossina species captured at the riverine areas (106; 77.9%) and the woodland/forest areas (30; 22.1%). Glossina captured at ground level and 30 cm above ground were 71 (52.2 %) and 65 (47.8%) respectively. The overall prevalence of trypanosome infection (2.94%) was observed for Glossina spp. The presence of infected Glossina spp. indicated an urgent need to establish a concise strategic vector control in National Parks, in order to reduce the risk of transmission to both wildlife and humans in the area. The park is frequently visited by tourists, rangers, researchers and students for educational purposes.

Published: April 2021

One of the technologies that people are starting to get interested in is virtual reality (VR). VR is widely used as a means of entertainment, even more so at this time, the e-sports industry is developing rapidly. However, the use of VR can cause cybersickness, a disease arising from sensory and perceptual mismatches between the visual and vestibular systems. The emergence of cybersickness can be related to gender and experience using VR. There have been studies on cybersickness, but the results obtained had not come to the same conclusion. This research aims to identify the effect of gender and experience using VR, predict the timing of cybersickness by using physiological measurements, and provide recommendations that can minimize cybersickness in activities using VR. The measuring instruments used are the galvanic skin response (GSR) and a simulator sickness questionnaire (SSQ). In this study, the influence test is conducted by using ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis to determine whether gender and experience using VR affect the potential for cybersickness. Based on the GSR measurement results, it found that gender and experiences of using VR do not affect a person's potential for cybersickness. From the result of SSQ measurement, gender does not affect the cybersickness, but the experience of using VR affected a person's potential for cybersickness. Qualitatively, cybersickness symptoms appear in the 15-20 minutes after the VR game has set in. Therefore, it is recommended to limit the usage of VR to less than 15 to 20 minutes per session.

Published: April 2021

Abstract. Climate change ought to be a natural part of the weather conversation on TV, radio and social media. Inspired by similar projects in other countries, the Norwegian Meteorological institute established a project in 2019 to develop their TV meteorologists as climate change communicators. The main objective in the project was to integrate research-based, localized climate content in the weather presentation, as to inform and engage the Norwegian public about climate change. Over a period of almost two years, the project has produced several climate stories on the national TV-news. The majority of the stories have also been shared through social media and through press releases to reach a wide range of audiences. In this paper, experiences from the project at the Norwegian Meteorological institute are shared along with recommendations for climate communication. We claim that TV meteorologists can have an important role in climate change communication, with a potential that is often not yet fully realized, and give our thoughts on how to further develop their role.

ANTI-NMDA RECEPTOR ENCEPHALITIS: ENCEPHALITIS PRESENTING WITH EARLY PSYCHOSIS SYMPTOMSABSTRACTAnti N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis is seldom found in Indonesia. The atypical initial presentation of psychosis and cognitive disturbance results in underdiagnosed, or even undiagnosed case. This report described a 12-year-old girl presenting with initial psychiatric symptom followed by seizure and oropharyngeal dystonia. Anti-NMDA receptor antibody test carried out on both serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were positive and no other pathogen was detected in the CSF. Clinical improvement was seen following the third day of methylprednisolone administration. This case demonstrates the importance of considering anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis or the other autoimmune encephalitis as the differential of infective encephalitis. Anti-NMDA receptor antibody test, which can already be performed in Indonesia, will greatly guide to the definitive diagnosis.Keywords: Encephalitis, NMDA, oropharyngeal dystonia, psychiatricABSTRAKEnsefalitis antireseptor N-metil-D-aspartat (NMDA) masih jarang ditemukan di Indonesia. Gejala awal yang tidak khas berupa psikosis dan gangguan kognitif menyebabkan keterlambatan diagnosis, atau bahkan tidak terdiagnosis, ensefalitis jenis ini. Berikut dilaporkan kasus seorang perempuan 12 tahun dengan gejala awal berupa gejala psikiatrik yang diikuti dengan kejang dan munculnya distonia orofaring. Pemeriksaan antibodi antireseptor NMDA pada serum dan cairan serebrospinal (CSS) positif dan tidak ditemukan patogen lain pada pemerikaan CSS. Perbaikan klinis terlihat setelah pemberian metilprednisolon selama 3 hari. Kasus ini memperlihatkan pentingnya mempertimbangkan diagnosis ensefalitis antireseptor NMDA atau ensefalitis autoimun lainnya sebagai diagnosis banding pada kasus ensefalitis infeksi. Oleh karena itu, pemeriksaan antibodi antireseptor NMDA yang telah dapat dilakukan di Indonesia akan sangat membantu proses penegakan diagnosis.Kata kunci: Distonia orofaring, ensefalitis, NMDA, psikiatrik

THE LATE ONSET RE-BLEEDING AFTER 14 YEARS OF RUPTURE CEREBELLAR AVMABSTRACTThe arteriovenous malformation (AVM), a form of abnormality in brain vascularization, in the cerebellum is a rare disorder. The risk of recurrent bleeding after initial episode at five years is very low about 3,67%. We reported a case of 25 years-old man with history of recurrent bleeding after 14 years with hydrocephalus as complication. The brain CT scan showed a bleeding in the cerebellar vermis with non-communicant hydrocephalus. The Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) showed a moderate left cerebellar AVM with high-flow plexiform nidus, left superior cerebellar artery as primary feeding artery with supplementary supply of the vein draining from the superior cerebellar artery to superior petrosal vein leading to the superior petrosal vein toward the contralateral transverse sinus and left sigmoid sinus. Embolization for infratentorial posterior fossa AVM bleeding needs to be considered even though previous bleeding occurs over 5 years to prevent re-bleeding.Keywords: Arteriovenous malformation, embolization, feeding artery, nidusABSTRAKKelainan pembuluh darah malformasi arteriovena (MAV) pada serebelum merupakan kelainan vaskular yang jarang terjadi.

ROLE OF ACUPUNCTURE THERAPY IN CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROMEABSTRACTCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral neuropathy. In establishing a diagnosis of CTS, it requires several examinations that cannot stand alone. Symptoms from the anamnesis and signs of physical examination, such as Tinel test, Phalen test, press provocation examination, hand elevation examination and motor examination are needed. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) investigation is also needed to diagnose CTS. Nevertheless, the clinical diagnosis of CTS can be done based on symptom history and physical examination using criteria by Rempel. Acupuncture is a modali- ty of non-pharmacological therapy performed by using fine needles at the acupuncture points. Acupuncture can improve the clinical symptoms of CTS patients through a mechanism of activation of the area in the brain that plays a role in sensory perception, through anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive mechanisms, and through mechanisms of protective effects on neural networks, thus providing therapeutic effects on neurological disorders due to CTS. By looking at the acupuncture mechanism, acupuncture can be a therapeutic choice for CTS to avoid the long-term side effects of medical therapy.Keywords: Acupuncture, carpal tunnel syndromeABSTRAKCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) merupakan neuropati perifer yang paling umum terjadi. Dalam menegakkan diagnosis CTS dibutuhkan beberapa pemeriksaan yang tidak dapat berdiri sendiri. Dibutuhkan gejala dari anamnesis, tanda dari pemeriksaan fisik, yaitu tes Tinel, tes Phalen, pemeriksaan provokasi tekan, pemeriksaan elevasi tangan dan pemeriksaan motorik. Juga dibutuhkan pemeriksaan penunjang kecepatan hantan saraf (KHS) untuk mendiagnosis pasti CTS. Sedangkan diagnosis klinis CTS dapat dilakukan berdasarkan anamnesis gejala dan pemeriksaan fisik dengan menggunakan kriteria oleh Rempel. Akupunktur merupakan modalitas terapi non-farmakologis yang dilakukan dengan penjaruman menggunakan jarum halus pada titik akupunktur. Akupunktur dapat memperbaiki gejala klinis pasien CTS melalui mekanisme aktivasi area di otak yang berperan pada persepsi sensorik, melalui mekanisme anti-inflamasi dan anti- nosiseptif, dan melalui mekanisme efek protektif pada jaringan saraf, sehingga memberikan efek terapeutik pada kelainan neurologis akibat CTS. Dengan melihat mekanisme akupunktur tersebut maka akupunktur dapat menjadi pilihan terapi pada CTS untuk menghindari efek samping jangka panjang dari terapi medikamentosa.Kata kunci: Akupunktur, carpal tunnel syndrome
â€œDiagnostic And Therapeutic Relevance of Sushrutokta Endoscopic Proceduresâ€
Authors: Waghe Subhash , Thakre Pradnya 
Published: April 2021

Vikar Darshan Pariksha (examination of pathology by inspection) is one of the important clinical method mentioned by Acharya Sushruta while examining the patient. Inspection is an active process. It is done with the eyes and the intellect. As per Acharya Sushruta, Built, features, Power, Colour, Pathology etc. should be examined by external inspection [S.Su.10/5]. Another less explored but equally important aspect of inspection examination is the internal inspection of pathologies through endoscopic procedures. Review of literature shows that Acharya Sushruta had described various diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures like Kantha Weekshan (Oropharyngoscopy) for viewing and removing throat pathologies and foreign bodies [S.Su. 27/17-18], Nasa Weekshan (Rhinoscopy) for viewing and removing the nasal polyp and tumor [S.Su. 8/14], Arsha Weekshan (Proctoscopy) for viewing and removing pile mass'S.Chi. 6/4 & 11], Bhagandar Weekshan (Fistula in Ano Scope) for viewing the track and for application of the medication. Today is the era of minimally invasive procedures. With the help of endoscopic procedures not only diagnosis of the disease is done but also the various therapeutic procedures such as band ligation of oesophageal varices in patients of cirrhosis of liver etc are done. In conclusion, it is observed that the endoscopic procedures have been well documented in Ayurvedic science before they come into practice in modern medicine. Endoscopic procedures are important in diagnosis as well as in the treatment of the internal pathologies.

Published: April 2021

Ayurvedic classics mentioned Tambul sevan in the context of Dinacharya (daily regimen) for the maintenance of perfect oral hygiene, for good taste and as a prevention of diseases of the oral cavity and throat. It too acts as post meal digestive stimulant, aphrodisiac and improves physical and mental stamina. Its preferred time is early in the morning. Purpose of the same was to improve oral hygiene and complete digestion. The detailed study of the ingredients of Tambul as per Samhitas confirms that Taambul so prepared has Deepana , Rochana (appetizing), Kaphaghna, MukhaVaishadyakara i.e mouth cleansing properties. Here in this article we have tried to give data related to tambul sevan as per tradition and present modern condition.

Published: April 2021

In modern medicine urine examination is used as the one of the important diagnostic and prognostic tool but in Ayurveda urine examination is used in a systematic and scientific way for knowing the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease from samhita kala. Thousands of year before, for diagnosis of the various aspects of the disease and diseased person several methods has been described in different Ayurved samhita. These methods can be broadly classified in to Rogi pariksha and Rog pariksha . While explaining the astavidha (Ashtasthan) pariksha Acharya Yogratnakar has described the methods examination of mutra pariksha after the explanation of the Nadi pariksha and Mala pariksha. He has also described the another important technique of the mutra parikha known as Tail bindu pariksha which is used for knowing the prognosis of the disease. Mutra pariksha as such in systematic way is not described in brihattrayi, scattered references are available in relation with the physiological and pathological state of sharir. Here attempt has been made to elaborate the ayurvediya mutra pariksha collectively in respect to odor, color, quantity etc which can be a important diagnostic and prognostic tool.

Published: April 2021

The death due to ischemic heart disease is increasing in Indian population at an alarming rate and accounts for around 15-20% of all deaths. The number of factors play role in the development of ischemic heart diseases but over consumption of oily fatty food and unhealthy lifestyle (mithya ahar vihar) with mental stress are the important basic factors enumerated by both the science. Shatkriya Kala is a unique pathological concept in Ayurveda developed with aim of treating the diseases at various stages of pathogesnesis. Ancient Ayurvedic acharyas had stated 6 such stages of therapeutic intervention with reference to six stages of pathogenesis namely sanchaya, prakopa, prasara, sthansanshraya, vyakti and bheda.. If disease is treated in early stages, it does not lead to complications. Hence, it is essential to apply the Ayurvedic concept of pathogenesis like â€˜Shat Kriyakalaâ€™ to ischemic heart disease so as to study it from Ayurvedic pathological point of view and to evolve a strategy to deal with it, based on the Ayurvedokta principles of treatment particularly in terms of shatkriyakalas. The study of ischemic heart disease with reference to Shat Kriyakala, showed that the pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease can very well be arranged in Ayurvedokta six stages of Shat Kriyakala and treatment could be framed as per different stages. With the help of modern investigations, these six stages could be confirmed.
Memento mori: Museu Nacional e o arquivo sem museu
Authors: Beiguelman Giselle , Lavigne Nathalia de Castro 
Published: April 2021

Este artigo parte de uma análise do conteúdo visual compartilhado no Instagram sobre o Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro após o incêndio que destruiu quase a totalidade de sua coleção, em 2 de setembro de 2018. Focando na hashtag #museunacionalvive, e concentrando a busca no primeiro ano após o trágico episódio, discutimos como esse arquivo sem museu (Foster, 1996) pode ser visto como um memorial difuso criado por memórias coletivas. Argumentamos, ainda, que esse memorial involuntário que surge de forma espontânea com o compartilhamento de imagens pessoais de arquivo ou de outras categorias existe também como uma compensação para a falta de programas públicos que tratem da memória e preservação do patrimônio no Brasil. Além disso, também apresentamos algumas proposições sobre o processo de remediação de um arquivo que não existe mais após a perda material da maioria de seus 20 milhões de itens a partir do conjunto de imagens fantasmagóricas que existem enquanto vestígio. Nesse sentido, analisamos uma variedade dessas imagens e possíveis categorizações desse museu imaginário memorialístico compartilhadas pelo público na hashtag #museunacionalvive.

No ensaio visual emoções em [trans]formação, proponho pensar a transformação da face humana a partir de fotografias digitais geradas em aplicativos de realidade aumentada e deepfake. A construção do trabalho ocorre de maneira experiencial, com aplicativos que mapeiam meu rosto e o transformam em outro. A produção das imagens passa pelo processo de escaneamento da tela que exibe o resultado dos aplicativos no smartphone, a fim de produzir uma nova imagem, digitalizando a face transformada mais uma vez para exibir a especificidade emotiva de um rosto computacional.
