Authors: Carbone Alejandra V. , Fernández Federico E. , Hernández Marcelo P. , Martínez Alonso Santiago M. , Arambarri Ana Maria 
Published: November 2021

Background and aims: Baccharis notosergila is an aggressive weed inhabiting the Salado river basin, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. The aims of this work were: to analyze the morpho-anatomy and histochemistry of aerial vegetative organs in order to understand the adaptation strategies that ensure its survival, as well as to expand knowledge on traits determining resistance to the control methods applied.
M&M: The material collected was prepared and examined with conventional techniques of microscopy. Histochemical tests to identify starch, resins, polyphenols, and lipophilic substances were performed.
Results: The major features found were small and deciduous leaves; uniseriate epidermis with massive and striate cuticle; stomata at level or slightly above the other epidermal cells and glandular trichomes secreting oily substances; stomata on both surfaces and isobilateral mesophyll. Tannins, starch and lipophilic substances were identified in leaves and stems; polyphenols, resins and lipids in ducts, and calcium oxalate crystals in leaves, stems and capitate trichomes.
Conclusions: The aerial vegetative organs features of B. notosergila explain its tolerance to the unfavorable conditions of the Salado river basin area, as well as its high competitive ability over others species of the natural prairie. The reduced and deciduous leaves, the epidermal traits, and chemical substances found constitute a physical and chemical barrier reducing dehydration as well as the penetration of the herbicides applied for its control. Botanical knowledge of B. notosergila is the basis for the design and development of new and appropriate management methods for this species.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: The chance of survival of a victim after cardiac arrest/foreign-body airway obstruction is doubled by early institution of Basic Life Support (BLS). Besides medical doctors, dental doctors might also encounter the patients in emergency situation requiring BLS, especially during peripheral district teaching hospital posting in internship.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the level of knowledge about BLS among final year dental students of BPKIHS.
Methodology: In this cross-sectional study, structured questionnaires were distributed to BDS final year students (purposive sampling, sample size=53). Each question responded correctly was awarded as point +1 and total points were calculated by adding all the correct answers. The collected data were entered in Microsoft excel 2010 and descriptive analysis was done by SPSS 16.
Results: Out of 53 questionnaires distributed, 49 were responded and returned (response rate= 92.45%). Twenty participants were male and twenty-nine were female. Four participants had taken BLS training in the past. Only twenty participants scored ≥ 50% and none of the participant scored ≥75%. Only one question was responded correctly by 100% participants. Ten questions were responded correctly by ≥50% participants. Although 65.3% participants were aware about high quality CPR, only 49% knew the exact location of chest compression. The chest compression to ventilation ratio for each of single rescuer and two rescuers was known by 20 participants (40.8%) and 28 participants (57.1%) respectively.
Conclusion: Knowledge of BLS is poor among BDS final year students.

Authors: Timalsina Santosh , Mahato Shishir , Nepal Sandesh 
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR) and glycemic control are two very important aspects to be considered during management of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a simple and inexpensive parameter that correlates well with IR and glycemic control.
Objectives: To explore the association of TyG index (and other TyG derived indices) with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and evaluate their predictive ability for glycemic control in patients with T2DM.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study comprised of 160 adult patients diagnosed with T2DM visiting the medical outpatient department of Chitwan Medical College, Bharatpur, Chitwan between July–December 2019. Socio-demographic data and anthropometric measurements were collected. Glycemic control was assessed by HbA1c. TyG index was calculated by the formula: ln [fasting TG (mg/dl) x fasting glucose (mg/dl)/2]. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to analyze the predictive ability of TyG-index for poor glycemic control.
Results: One hundred and sixty patients (mean age: 53.6 ± 10.7 years, 55.0% males) were included in the study. Eighty (50.0%) had good glycemic control (HbA1c <7.0%). TyG index, along with TyG-BMI and TyG-WC (other TyG derived indices) were significantly increased in the poor glycemic control group. TyG index had a good predictive ability for poor glycemic control (AUC: 0.803, 95% CI: 0.731 – 0.874). A TyG cutoff ≥ 9.12 was optimal for predicting poor glycemic control, with 86.1% sensitivity and 61.5% specificity.
Conclusion: TyG index could be a simple and cost-effective screening tool for assessment of glycemic control in patients with T2DM.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Age related cataract is the leading cause of preventable blindness globally, with multifactorial risk factors. Multiple mechanism contributes to the progressive loss of lens transparency.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors for different morphological types of senile cataract in eastern region of Nepal.
Methodology: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Four hundred patients aged ≥ 50 years with senile cataract attending eye out patient department for one year were enrolled and divided into two groups based on Lens Opacities Classification System (LOCS) III grading. Group A consisted of ‘no-moderate’ cataract and group B consisted of ‘severe’ cataract. The parameters studied were age, gender, education, occupation, smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes and hypertension, body mass index and use of topical or oral medication. Statistical analysis was conducted to find an association of various parameters to different morphological type of cataract.
Results: The mean age of presentation was 61±9.07 years. Male to female ratio was 1:02. Group A had 154 and group B 246 patients respectively. Statistically significant association was seen between older age group and severe cataract (p <0.002). Household activities and moderate alcohol consumption alcohol was seen associated with moderate nuclear sclerosis (p <0.001) and posterior sub-capsular cataract (p <0.003) respectively. High blood pressure was associated with severe Nuclear Sclerosis and Posterior Subcapsular Cataract (p <0.014).
Conclusion: Older age groups, household activities, moderate alcohol consumption and high blood pressure were found to have significant association with age-related cataract.

Authors: Mishra Bibhuti Nath , Nepal Santosh , Parajuli Surya Bahadur 
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Knee injuries are encountered frequently in Orthopedic emergency and Outpatient departments. Radiographs are routinely ordered in them, but not all of them demonstrate clear fractures. The decision for radiography based on subjective evaluation can help to reduce cost, decrease waiting time, and unnecessary radiation exposure. We lack this information in our context.
Objective: The objective of this study was to find the validity of the Ottawa knee rule (OKR) in patients presenting with acute knee injuries at a teaching hospital in eastern Nepal.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2018 to February 2019 including 210 cases of acute knee injuries. The patients were evaluated as per OKR and their X-rays were evaluated too. Collected data were entered in MS Excel and analyzed by SPSS for validity.

Results: Out of the total of 210 eligible patients (122 males and 88 females) with a mean age of 43.97 years, the radiography rate was 100% but the yield rate was only 10.5%. Overall 69% of patients presented to the hospital within 24 hours of the injury and direct hit/trauma was the commonest mode of injury. Patella fractures were commonest followed by proximal tibia fractures. There was a high sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 42.02%. The rule yielded a Positive and Negative Predictive value of 16.79% and 100%, respectively. The OKR, if applied correctly, could result in radiography rate reduction by 37.61%. The Fisher exact test result was significant at p<0.05.
Conclusion: OKRs is a valid tool to predict fractures in patients who has a history of acute knee injuries without chances of missing fractures. This rule can reduce unnecessary radiography in our setup as well.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Trends are changing to allow parents and families to be with their child during invasive procedures. Because of the intense workload, there is a tendency to overlook the parents’ feelings. Attitudes of physicians and nurses are the common obstacles for this.
Objective: To determine health care professionals’ attitudes toward parental presence during invasive procedures.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the health professionals in the department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine of a tertiary care center in Eastern Nepal. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of the institute. Total sample size was 112 (83 nursing staff and 29 physicians). Attitudes of physicians and nursing staff towards parental presence during various invasive procedures were recorded in the predesigned proforma. Data was entered in MS Excel and analysed using SPSS version 21.0. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square test, independent t-test and one-way ANNOVA were used for data analysis at p<0.05.
Results: Simple procedures like intravenous blood sampling and the simple wound repair or suture majority of the health professionals (71.1% to 79.3%) agreed for parental presence. Other major procedures including resuscitations, majority (69.0 % to 85.5%) disagreed for the parental presence. The most important factors considered was the child’s request (62.1% to 80.7%) for parental presence. The major likely reason for declining was unjustly blaming the medical staff for common/ simple complications (69.9%). Only for the simple wound repair, statistically significant differences were noted between the physicians and the nursing staff (p= 0.033) on the basis of years of experiences where the physicians preferred for the parental presence.
Conclusion: Both the physicians and the nursing staff preferred not to allow the parents in the major invasive procedures including resuscitations whereas when the level of invasiveness decreased, the rate of approval increased in both the groups.

Published: November 2021

Keamanan data sangat penting, sebab dapat memastikan kontinuitas pengelolaan, mengurangi risiko, dan menjadi peluang suatu lembaga untuk berkembang. Semakin banyak informasi yang dikelola dan di-share semakin besar pula risiko terjadinya kerusakan, kehilangan atau tereksposnya data ke pihak eksternal yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Tujuan penelitian untuk mendeskripsikan bentuk-bentuk ancaman keamanan dan langkah penanganan ancaman keamanan SIKAPEG. Penelitian termasuk penelitian mixed method yang difokuskan pada aktivitas sistem keamanan informasi terkait dengan kehadiran pegawai di IVET. Simpulan penelitian bahwa sistem keamanan SIKAPEG di IVET belum memenuhi standar ISO 27001:2013, beberapa indikator telah dilaksanakan namun ada yang kurang baik. Terjadinya ancaman termasuk pada kriteria mungkin terjadi, hal ini dilihat dari indikatornya kemungkinan terjadi ancaman rentangan antara 10-50% dalam waktu 1(satu) tahun. Sedangkan jika dikaitkan dengan skala Likelihood termasuk kriteria ringan, yaitu gangguan terhadap aplikasi/jaringan. Kelemahannya terletak pada tidak adanya tanggung jawab prosedur manajemen keamanan informasi, tidak ada bukti pelaporan hambatan keamanan informasi yang terdokumen, sehingga tidak bisa digunakan sebagai evaluasi mendatang, dan kurangnya kesadaran pegawai dalam melakukan presensi sidik jari, kurangnya empati dan kesadaran secara bersama menjaga dan merawat serta memelihara hardware pendukung. Pemeliharaan dan perawatan oleh teknisi sudah baik, namun belum dilaksanakan secara menyeluruh sehingga ada beberapa hardware yang mudah rusak karena titik lemah pada aplikasi, hardware, SDM merupakan potensi sumber ancaman keamanan yang berkembang menjadi gangguan pada SIKAPEG. Solusi sebagai rekomendasi, sebaiknya dilakukan kontrol secara periodik dan berkala, perawatan dan pemeliharaan secara menyeluruh, terdokumentasi saat dilakukan kontrol serta penetapan kebijakan secara tegas.

Authors: Ivanov S. Yu. , Kazankov R. Yu. 
Published: November 2021

The peculiarities of the fight against political terrorism in the Russian Empire on the example of Ukrainian provinces in this period have been studied. In particular, the authors have analyzed historical conditions for the formation and development of various political forces of terrorist orientation, have demonstrated the basic measures on the part of state authorities and specialized law enforcement agencies on counteracting political terrorism. The emphasis has been placed on the fact that such concepts as terror and terrorism are very often interchangeable, although there is currently no their established definition. Terrorism is an attempt to pursue political interests by violent means. Terror is usually used after revolutions in order to gain complete control over society.
In general, the authors have demonstrated the conditions and circumstances under which there was the transition to political attempts on various representatives of public authorities, and their motivation. It has been determined that one of the dominant motives for the transition to political terror was revenge for the repressive actions of the authorities against the populist movement during 1877-1878.
Particular attention has been paid to regulatory legal documents of various levels; the authors have clarified their impact on the further fight against terrorism in the Empire; have determined the role of emergency lawmaking, such as: “On measures to protect public order and public safety”, “On the formation of military courts”, “On special measures to maintain public safety”, “Regulations on the structure of the secret police in the Empire”, etc.
The authors have demonstrated the activities of specialized law enforcement agencies, without the functioning of which the fight against terrorists has not been successful. Among them were: the palace guard, the police department, the palace agency, security departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the corps of gendarmes. Their work was regulated in accordance with such documents as “Temporary Rules on the Arrangement of the Police”, “Regulations on the Gendarmerie Corps” and others.
