Authors: Pernisa Júnior Carlos 
Published: June 2021

A atuação de líderes de diversos países pode ser determinante no enfrentamento de uma pandemia, como a de Covid-19. De acordo com suas posturas, entrevistas e discursos, há maneiras diferentes de se encarar a crise de saúde e suas consequências em cada local afetado. Com o intuito de demonstrar como isso vem ocorrendo de modo mais efetivo, este artigo pretende analisar posturas, entrevistas e discursos de presidentes e primeiros-ministros ou chanceleres. Para um recorte que permita verificar melhor como alguns chefes de governo influenciam suas nações, foram escolhidos como exemplos Jacinda Ardern, da Nova Zelândia; Jair Bolsonaro, do Brasil; Angela Merkel, da Alemanha; e Donald Trump, dos Estados Unidos. A análise vai abranger um período específico do início da pandemia, levando em conta os meses de janeiro até abril de 2020.

Authors: Rozenfeld Tatiana , Galindo Wedna Cristina Marinho 
Published: June 2021

A pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar aspectos da relação das mulheres consigo mesmas, com o processo de saúde-doença e com o Serviço Integrado de Saúde (SIS), unidade de saúde do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) que trabalha com Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde (PICS). O material de estudo analisou entrevistas do programa ‘Mulheres do SIS’, veiculadas por uma Rádio Comunitária local. A avaliação do conteúdo do material indica particularidades no modo como as mulheres se apresentam e referem suas experiências no campo da saúde. Usam seu nome e condição laboral para se apresentarem, não utilizando outros marcadores sociais. As PICS são reconhecidas pelas mulheres como práticas significativas de cuidado pela atenção às singularidades e aos coletivos. A fala-escuta das experiências das mulheres, possibilitada pelo programa de rádio, contribui para legitimar suas existências, historicamente silenciadas.

Published: June 2021

Introduction: Survival after sudden cardiac arrest depends upon early intervention, quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and time of defibrillation. So, it is very important that at least the medical personnel know about Basic Life Support (BLS) as they are frequently facing the life threatening situations.
Objective: To assess the level of awareness regarding adult basic life support among graduates in a medical college of Kathmandu.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted after ethical approval in Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital from April to September 2018 among 150 medical and dental graduates including interns and dental/medical officers. A structured self-administered questionnaire was used to assess their awareness regarding Adult BLS. Data were entered and analysed in Microsoft Excel Sheet. Mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage were calculated.
Results: Most of the graduates surveyed (122, 81.3%) had heard about Adult BLS and felt the need to know about it (142, 94.7%). They felt the necessity including BLS training as a part of medical curriculum (144, 96%). Some of them (58, 38.7%) had seen BLS being done. However, very few (2, 1.3%) had actually done BLS on a patient. Some (54, 36%) had attended workshop on BLS.
Conclusion: The findings of the study concluded that although most of the medical and dental graduates felt the need, very few had attended workshop for BLS. The BLS training should be included in the medical curriculum so that the graduates would be able to effectively manage the life-threatening emergencies.

Published: June 2021

Introduction: Tobacco use in any form (smoking or smokeless) has been recognised to be a significant risk factor for the development and progression of periodontal disease.
Objective: To assess the nicotine dependence and periodontal status among tobacco users of a dental hospital of Kathmandu Valley and determine their association.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 164 tobacco users visiting a dental hospital of Kathmandu. Nicotine dependence was assessed using the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence-Smokeless Tobacco and the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence. Their periodontal status was examined using community periodontal index and loss of attachment. Data were entered in Microsoft excel sheet and analysed in IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 20. Mean, standard deviation, proportion, and percentage were calculated depending upon the nature of data. Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to determine the association between different variables.
Results: Most of the tobacco smokers (34, 63.0%), chewers (12, 48.0%), and dual users (smoke=55, 64.7%; smokeless= 46, 54.1%) in this study showed low nicotine dependence. Majority of the tobacco users surveyed had periodontal pocket of 4-5 mm (73, 44.5%) and loss of attachment of 6-8 mm (79, 48.2%). Tobacco smokers and chewers having moderate or high nicotine dependence had periodontitis significantly higher than those who had low dependence.
Conclusion: The findings in this study conclude that most of the individuals using tobacco in any form have periodontal diseases. Nicotine dependence is significantly associated with increased periodontal breakdown.

Correction: The second author, Sanjib Mani Regmi, was added to the website version on 13th August 2021. It omitted by mistake. The PDF of the article was correct.
Background: The infection of tonsil may occur primarily or secondarily as a result of upper respiratory tract infection, usually preceded by a viral infection. Bacterial tonsillitis is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. Penicillin remains the treatment of choice for S. pyogenes tonsillitis. The present study aimed to identify the bacterial pathogen in acute tonsillitis and their sensitivity to antibiotics.
Material and Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery and Department of Microbiology, Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara Nepal from January 2018 to January 2019. Ninety-six patients who presented with acute tonsillitis and admitted in the hospital were included in the study.
Results: The commonest age group of acute tonsillitis was found to be between 21-30 years. S. pyogenes was the commonest isolate 32(33.3%) followed by S. aureus 19(19.8%). Streptococcus pyogenes was sensitive to Ampicillin (65.6%) and Cloxacillin (68.7%) while the isolates were more sensitive to levofloxacin and doxycycline. Carbapenem were found to be most effective drugs for intravenous treatment.
Conclusion: The most common bacterial isolates were Streptococcus pyogenes. The sensitivity of organism shift from ampicillin group to fluroquinolones and tetracycline. Identification of bacterial isolates and their antibiotics sensitivity patterns could prevent resistance of bacteria to drugs and help in the proper management of acute tonsillitis.

Authors: Joshi Bishal Raj , Rizal Shikha 
Published: June 2021

Background: Low density lipoproteinforms a basis of decision making in treatment of hypercholesterolemic patients and primary target of intervention. Its cost effective and accurate measurementis a need for every clinical laboratories and different calculation methods has been adopted as a replacement to direct assays. This study aims to evaluate the Martin’s formula and Friedewald’s formula in a sample of Nepalese population compared against direct homogenous assay.
Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in Department of Biochemistry from Feb 2020 to January 2021. Serum samples of the participants were analysed for total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein. Martin’s and Friedewald’s formula were applied to get calculated value of low density lipoprotein from both methods. Passing and Bablok regression analysis was used for methods comparison.
Results: The mean age of participants was 54.2 ± 8.9 years. Passing-Bablok regression analysis showed Friedewald’s formula performed better than Martin’s formula as per systematic and proportional bias when compared with directassay. However at lowerserum low density lipoprotein level, underestimation of low density lipoprotein compared to direct assay was more common in Friedewald’s formula. At high triglyceride level more percentage error of difference of mean from direct assay was found for Friedewald’s formula.
Conclusion: When compared to direct assay, Friedewald’s formula was found to be in better agreement than Martin’s formula. Martin’s formula had advantage over Friedewald’s formula at lower serum low density lipoprotein level and higher triglyceride level where Friedewald’s formula mostly underestimated low density lipoprotein.

Discriminatory performance of mid-upper arm circumference for identifying thin and severely thin adolescents: a secondary data analysis using Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey
Authors: Nitika - 
Published: June 2021

Background: Timely identification of adolescents with undernutrition is of utmost importance, and recently, mid-upper circumference (MUAC) had been considered as an alternative to body mass index (BMI) and BMI for age z-score (BAZ) for its screening. However, little is known about the MUAC cut-offs, specific to age and sex. The study was planned to assess the discriminatory performance of MUAC in identifying thin and severely thin adolescents and estimating age specific MUAC cut-offs, separately for males and females, against BAZ as the gold standard.
Methods: The Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey (CNNS), India data was used for this analysis. The Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC), area under curve (AUC), and Youden Index were used to estimate MUAC cut-off values for thin (BAZ < -2) and severely thin (BAZ < -3) adolescents. The current analysis was done on 31471 adolescents.
Results: The MUAC cut-offs for identifying thin adolescents were: for 10-14 years – 19.2/19.4 cm, for 15-19 years – 22.9/21.7 cm for males and females respectively; and for severe thinness were: for 10-14 years – 18.4/18.3 cm, for 15-19 years – 21.9/20.2 cm for males/females. For thinness, the cut-off varied between 17.4-24.5 cm (for 10-19 years) among males, and for females, it varied between 17.5 -20.9 cm (for 10-19 years). For severe thinness, MUAC cut-off ranged between 16.4-23.7 cm (for 10-19 years) among males, and for females, between 17.3-20.7 cm (for 10-19 years).
Conclusion: Thus, age- and sex-specific cut-offs could be considered for screening thin and severely thin adolescents.
