Authors: Duke C. Martin , Leeds David J. 
Published: May 2021

abstract
A report is given of observations of the effects of soil conditions on damage in Mexico City and Guerrero State in the earthquake of July 28, 1957. An isoseismal map is presented which identifies anomalies in intensity distribution which appear to be closely related to local geology and soil conditions. Comparison is made between Mexico City, 170 miles from the epicenter and founded on the deep alluvium of Lake Texcoco, and several cities and villages 60 miles from the epicenter, founded on firmer deposits or granite.
Mexico City suffered Modified Mercalli intensities of VII and IV, respectively, in that part of the lake-bed area where tall buildings stand, and on the more compact formations. Of the several cities 60 miles from the epicenter, all suffered intensity V or less except Chilpancingo, where the intensity was VII to VIII. Chilpancingo rests on deep unconsolidated deposits; the other places are on rock or shallower unconsolidated deposits.

Authors: Uniyal Preeti , Kalra B. P. , Wasim Sanober 
Published: May 2021

Background: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is one of the common causes of neonatal respiratory distress. Overall frequency of meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) ranges between 5 to 25%.Methods: Observational study was conducted on 96 newborns over a period of one year in the department of pediatrics, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. All newborns, inborns and outborns with MSAF admitted in NICU of our hospital were taken. Results: Out of 876 babies those had MSAF, 96 babies developed MAS with 10.95% incidence. Common maternal risk factors noted with MAS was maternal diabetes mellitus in 11 (15.71%) cases. Babies born via LSCS developed MAS in 51 (53.12%) and in babies delivered vaginally 45 (46.87%). MAS occurred mainly in term with mean gestational age of 38 weeks with SD of 1.85 weeks. The mean birth weight of newborns with MAS was 2794 g with 524 g SD. Most common complication was birth asphyxia in 36 (37.5%). Mortality occurred in 11 (11.4%). Mean gestational age and birth weight of mortality in MAS was 38 weeks with 2.5 weeks SD and 2800 g with 723 g SD respectively. Statistically significant association noted between mortality due to MAS and birth weight as p value<0.05, but no significant association noted between mortality and gestational age.Conclusions: MAS is a common cause of respiratory distress in newborns born through MSAF. With judicious use of available modes of ventilation and adjunctive therapies, infants with even the most severe MAS can usually be supported through the disease, with an acceptable burden of short-and long-term morbidity.

Published: May 2021

Background: Bus drivers and bus conductors are predisposed to increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks.Driving for long duration involves prolonged sitting, which enforces sedentary behavior among drivers in comparison to conductors who have the freedom to move aboutBackground: Bus drivers and bus conductors are predisposed to increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks.Driving for long duration involves prolonged sitting, which enforces sedentary behavior among drivers in comparison to conductors who have the freedom to move about in the bus. The aim and objectives of the study were to identify selected risk factors for CVDs among bus drivers and bus conductors; to estimate the CVDs risk among them using Framingham risk score and to study the difference of risk factors and CVDs risk between bus drivers and conductors.Methods: The present study was a comparative cross-sectional study among 105 bus drivers and 105 bus conductors at the Panaji bus depot of Goa. A pre-designed semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data along with anthropometric, clinical examination and blood investigations. The Framingham risk score with BMI and lipids was used to compare the CVD risk.Results: Higher percentage of bus drivers had diabetes, hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia. When the CVD risk was compared using the Framingham risk score, 63.8% bus drivers had intermediate-high CVD risk using FRS-BMI compared to 46.7% bus conductors and the difference is found to be significant. Using FRS- lipids, 65.7% bus drivers had intermediate-high risk compared to 53.3% bus conductors.Conclusions: The behavioral risk factors for CVD were higher among bus drivers compared to bus conductors. in the bus.

Published: May 2021

Topical corticosteroid’s anti-inflammatory action is the common property that induces the misuse of the topical steroids. Most of the time, even a medical graduate is misguided about the steroidal molecules in the combination formulation for the treatment of infections which gives temporary relief of symptoms such as itching and lightening effect in short term, But on long term will lead onto local adverse reactions such as dryness, burning sensation and striae etc.To analyse the knowledge of the medical students towards topical steroids and bridges the gaps in the knowledge.6 semester students who gave consent for the inclusion in the study were enrolled and a pretested validated questionaries were given to be filled. After the pretest, a video presentation of the topic was presented and the post test was given with the same format after 3 months. Results were analyzed using SPSS software.75% of the students heard about the topical steroids, out of which 57% were irrelevant steroid combination and 36% were Kligman’s formula. On comparing the pre and post test results, there is significant increase in the awareness regarding long term use of topical steroids (P&#60;0.02) and the knowledge of the adverse events (P&#60;0.01) and also the knowledge regarding the potency and area of application (P=0.003).Precise and adequate knowledge regarding topical steroid should be initiated in the early clinics in undergraduate curriculum and should be propagated or reinforced throughout the curriculum to prevent the misuse of topical steroids.

Authors: Chinnathambi P Sakthidasan , Burra Anitha 
Published: May 2021

Skin being the largest organ of the body, is subjected to constant environmental insults through direct and indirect targets. Non-neoplastic lesions of skin comprise a vast array of diseases, which are usually approached by pattern based method in histopathology for microscopic diagnosis. This study was undertaken with an intention to learn such diseases by a simple minimally invasive punch biopsy procedure.A 2 year retro-prospective study of 82 punch biopsies which were documented as non-neoplastic lesions of skin were studied with respect to their demographical and histopathological profile. Simple descriptive statistics was applied in Microsoft Excel software.Out of the 82 cases studied, 46(56%) were males and 36(44%) were females. Maximum number of cases (n=23) were seen in 21-30 years of age. Most prominent site of lesions biopsied were from lower limb (23 cases) with legs being the commonest among them. Cutaneous infections (n=25) was the most common clinical category, with Mycobacterial lesions as the prominent subcategory (n=16). Granulomatous reaction constituted the most common major tissue reaction pattern among other patterns with a total number of 17 cases out of 82. Panniculitis was the most common minor reaction pattern observed.The pattern based approach in routine histopathological analysis proves a valuable descriptive tool for reaching an accurate diagnosis in cutaneous non-neoplastic lesions.

Authors: Da Silva Tatiana , De Oliveira Vanessa , Barbosa Maria Ivone , Saldanha Tatiana 
Published: May 2021

O presente estudo avaliou extratos da pimenta rosa preparados em etanol e acetona quanto ao teor de fenólicos totais e a capacidade antioxidante (métodos DPPH e FRAP). Visando a possível aplicação da pimenta rosa como antioxidante natural em alimentos, investigou-se o efeito da adição da pimenta rosa frente à oxidação lipídica em hambúrgueres de tilápia preparados termicamente (grelha, forno convencional, micro-ondas e cozimento em água). Para tal, foi realizada a quantificação de malonaldeído, produto secundário da oxidação lipídica, pela análise de TBARS (substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico). O extrato em etanol apresentou o teor de 137,73 ± 6,63 mg AGE/g, o qual foi superior ao determinado no extrato em acetona (61,01 ± 6,09 mg AGE/g). Ambos extratos apresentaram capacidade antioxidante para os métodos utilizados; entretanto, diferenças significativas foram observadas para os diferentes solventes extratores (p<0,05). A adição de pimenta rosa aos hambúrgueres reduziu a formação de malonaldeido nas amostras grelhadas e nas amostras preparadas em micro-ondas (p<0,05), sugerindo o efeito protetor da pimenta rosa sob a degradação de hidroperóxidos durante os processos oxidativos. Tais resultados destacam a possível aplicação deste fruto como aditivo natural em alimentos, representando uma alternativa para a substituição de antioxidantes sintéticos. Entretanto, estudos futuros são necessários para avaliar parâmetros como a dose-efeito e os aspectos sensoriais para a aplicação industrial. Mediante o potencial tecnológico da pimenta rosa e as perspectivas promissoras para a geração de renda de agricultores familiares, as características do sistema de produção da pimenta rosa também foram discutidas.
DIVIDEND POLICY, CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND EARNINGS QUALITY: A CASE OF NON-FINANCIAL LISTED FIRMS OF PAKISTAN
Authors: Afzal Tehmina , Siddiqui Atif Atique , Khan Shiraz , Khan Muhammad Kamran , Huseen Nader 
Published: May 2021

Purpose of the study: This research empirically examined the impact of the dividend policy and corporate governance attributes (board size, board meetings, audit quality, nomination committee, board independence, remuneration committee, and CEO duality) on earnings quality (EQ) of the firms in Pakistan.
Methodology: The study used secondary data of 148 non-financial listed companies of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) with 1450 firm-year observations over 10 years from 2010 to 2019. Earning quality was assessed by the earnings management, while the values of the discretionary accruals were used to measure earnings management by employing the Modified jones model (1995). Panel regression analysis examined the impact of independent variables (dividend policy & characteristics of CG) on the dependent variable (EQ).
Main Findings: Results revealed that the dividend policy showed no significant impact on earnings quality. Also, the results indicated that the audit quality and remuneration committee have a significant negative impact on earning management and a positive impact on earning quality. However, the results illustrate that the large board size, board meetings, CEO duality, firm size, and leverage have a positive influence on earnings management and a negative impact on earnings quality. Overall the study found that the corporate governance characteristics, firm size, and leverage influence the earnings quality of the firms in Pakistan.
Applications of this study: The empirical results of the study will help to improve the understanding of dividend policy & corporate governance attributes in relationship with the EQ. Second, as dividend is considered one of the most important factors influencing investment decisions, so this endeavour will clarify to the investors and regulators that whether dividend will predict the quality of earnings in Pakistani firms.
Novelty/Originality of this study: This study extends the literature of earnings quality that is very thin in Pakistan.
