Published: December 2024

The Corpus callosum (CC) serves as the primary interhemispheric connection within the human brain, facilitating rapid information exchange and integration between the cerebral hemispheres, thus supporting complex cognitive functions. This study aims to explore the variations in corpus callosum (CC) dimensions across different age groups and genders, shedding light on the structural changes within this population. The present study was conducted within the premises of the Department of Anatomy, GMC Srinagar, spanning a duration of one year. During the study duration, a total of 5,921 images were meticulously reviewed, out of which 300 images met the stringent inclusion criteria and were consequently enrolled in the investigation. Measurements included fronto-occipital diameter, anteroposterior length, and dimensions of the genu, body, rostrum, and splenium. The mean fronto-occipital diameter in the midsagittal plane was analyzed, revealing values of 163.21 ± 19.80 mm for males and 159.08 ± 22.8 mm for females. However, no statistically significant difference between genders was found (p = 0.08). The average anteroposterior length of the corpus callosum was measured at 74.81 ± 6.7 mm, with a height of 24.81 ± 1.03 mm. Additionally, the mean diameters of the genu, body, rostrum, and splenium were observed to be 10.8 ± 2.7 mm, 5.42 ± 2.9 mm, 3.79 ± 1.7 mm, and 10.79 ± 3.01 mm, respectively The analysis revealed significant age-related variations in CC dimensions, particularly in length (r = 0.389, p = 0.003), genu (r = -0.188, p = 0.02), height (r = 0.302, p = 0.004), and splenium (r = -0.387, p = 0.001). While no significant gender differences were observed in CC dimensions, age correlated positively with CC length and height but negatively with genu and splenium dimensions.These findings underscore the dynamic nature of CC morphology across the lifespan and highlight avenues for further investigation into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these age-related changes.

Tibia is commonly fractured long bone with subcutaneous location vulnerable to frequent injury. Lack of proper vascularity and soft tissue cover leads to delayed healing and higher complication rates in the distal fractures of tibia. Adult distal metaphyseal extraarticular and intraarticular fractures of tibia are a challenge for an experienced surgeon. Important clinical variables affecting the clinical results are the type of fracture, associated soft tissue injury, method of treatment and the quality of reduction. This study aims to evaluate and compare clinical and functional outcome of medial and anterolateral locking plates in these fractures.A prospective study was conducted at NIMS University Rajasthan from July 2019 to May 2021. Total 36 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the study, 30 were males, 6 females. Mean age was 38.78±9.09 years. 5(13.9%) were AO type A1, 17(47.2%) were A2, 7(19.4%) were A3 and 7(19.4%) were C1. 32(88.9%) had associated fibula fractures. 28(77.8%) were closed fractures and 8(22.2%) were Gustilo grade I open fractures. Mean interval between injury and surgery was 8.5±3.62 days. Anterolateral LCP was used in 22 patients (Group A) and medial LCP was used in 14 patients (Group B). The results were analyzed using Microsoft excel and SPSS software. P value of &#60;0.05 was considered significant. Mean time taken for full weight bearing and radiological union was 17.4 weeks in Group A and 18.2 weeks in Group B with a standard deviation of 5.79. Mean functional score was 80.82 in Group A and 78.50 in Group B with a p value of 0.523 which was not statistically significant. Number of early complications in Group A was 3 and Group B was 8, while the number of late complications in group A was 2 and group B was 2 respectively. Both medial plating and anterolateral plating yields comparable functional outcome in our study. Complication of superficial infection, wound dehiscence was observed higher with medial plate. Authors would recommend use of anterolateral plates in distal tibia fractures where either approach or plates could be used.

: Despite drop in maternal deaths in India, state’s MMR is still high at 173 per 100000 live births. Maternal and child health programme in India had change a lot since last decade. But target is still far to achieve. : To determine the utilization of JSSK scheme among Pregnant women and various reasons for the non utilization of the above service. s: It was a descriptive Cross sectional study done in the rural areas of Jabalpur district. A sample of 400 was acquired. Multistage random sampling was used for selection of study participants. House to house visit was conducted to collect data using predesigned, pretested semi-structured questionnaire. Collected data was checked for its completeness and correctness before analysis. : Out of 400 study participants only 80 (20%) study participants were fully benefitted during hospitalization under JSSK. only 28 % of the study participants who were more than 25 years old had fully utilized JSSK related services. The association between age of the study participants and full utilization of JSSK services was statistically highly significant (P&#60;0.001). The most common reason cited for not using free transport from home to health institutions was delay in reaching 108 vehicles by 71.65% of participants who had not used the transportation. : Unawareness about the scheme and unavailability of services in the health facilities add up the problem which eventually increased their out of pocket expenditure.

We aimed to study ­­­the effectiveness of concept mapping as an effective tool in learning clinical aspects of Biochemistry. Prospective interventional study was conducted on total 148 (n=148) first MBBS Medical Students of Government Medical College, Akola, admitted during academic year of 2018 Participants were categorised into two groups: Group I - designated as Interventional group-CM (n=74), where concept-map approach was adopted to taught clinical case based biochemistry content. Group II – designated as Didactic lecture -DL (n=74) and students were exposed with the traditional lecture-based approach to taught the same content. Responses were recorded by using questionnaire as a research tool. It includes specific questions (open and close ended questions) with the goal to understand a topic from respondent’s point of view. By applying unpaired “t” test, the students in group I (CM) significantly outperformed (p-value &#60; 0.0001) as compared to group II (DL). The mean ± SD values of the test scores to assess the academic performance in group I (CM) & Group II was found to be 13.46 ± 1.59. 10.83 ± 1.55 respectively. In addition, we also observed that students of group I performed significantly well irrespective of gender distribution as compared to Group II.Present study indicates that students were able to integrate clinical aspects of biochemistry effectively by virtue of using Concept mapping as interventional strategy and assists them in correlating the clinical knowledge of biochemistry with disease symptoms by enhancing critical thinking and reasoning ability.

Thrombocytopenia, which signifies a low platelet count usually below 150 × 109/L, is a common finding following or during many viral infections. Viral infection innate and adapt immune response where platelets play a passive role in antiviral activity. The patients with viral infection are at risk of developing decreased platelet count and develop the chance of bleeding. The present study designed to find the prevalence of thrombocytopenia in patients with viral infection. : A descriptive cross section survey design used to identify the prevalence rate of thrombocytopenia in patients with viral infection in India the cities studied are Lakhimpur 960 patients, Panipat 1345 patients, Sonipat 1357 patients, Gohana 758 patients, Delhi 1165 patients, a total 5585 patients diagnosed with viral infection samples were selected of which 395 patients developed thrombocytopenia, the samples were analyzed at various selected diagnostic centers.: The present study found that in Lakhimpur for 960 patients with viral infection 48 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia, Panipat for 1345 patients with viral infection 118 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia, Sonipat for 1357 patients with viral infection 85 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia, Gohana for 758 patients with viral infection 49 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia and in Delhi for 1165 patients with viral infection 95 patients samples developed thrombocytopenia respectively. The overall prevalence of thrombocytopenia among patients with viral infection is 7.07%. Viral infection caused due to any virus triggers the immune response where in platelets act as passive bystanders during viral infection, the knowledge of viral infection and better management of infection bring down the thrombolytes and cause thrombocytopenia. The present study identified the prevalence of the thrombocytopenia among patients with viral infection.

High blood uric acid levels are associated with the emergence of hypertension.This study sought to examine the connection between elevated uric acid levels and the prevalence of organ damage in the hypertensive population because elevated uric acid levels are linked to hypertension.A sum of 200 patients (aged 32 to 70) were enrolled in this observational analytical case-control study between April 2021 and March 2022; of these, 150 had been diagnosed with untreated essential hypertension and were categorized into hypertension stages 1 and 2 according to the Joint National Committee's 7th and 8th editions of their guidelines. The control group consisted of 100 individuals of same age and gender who were otherwise healthy. Proformas were used to ensure all necessary clinical as well as laboratory information was recorded.Among the hypertensive people in our research, 20% (N= 20) had LVH. In cases with LVH, serum uric acid levels averaged 5.92±1.39 mg/dL, but in those without the disease, they averaged 4.67±1.18 mg/dL (P&#60;0.001). The occurrence of hypertension in hypertensives with CAD was 15% (N= 15). Patients with CAD had a mean Sr. uric acid level of 5.71±1.23, whereas those without CAD had a level of 4.61±1.19 (P&#60; 0.001). 12.0 percent of hypertensive people (N=12) had nephropathy. The typical level of serum uric acid in people with kidney failure was 5.831±1.29, which was substantially higher than the 4.73±1.23 level observed in healthy individuals (P&#60; 0.001). Among people with hypertension, a stroke or TIA occurred in 20% (N=20) of cases. Patients with CVA/TIA had a mean Sr Uric Acid of 5.31±1.55, while those without CVA/TIA had a mean of 4.75±1.22. Hypertensives had an incidence of retinopathy of 30% (N=30). Patients diagnosed with retinopathy had significantly higher sr. uric acid levels (5.81±1.32) compared to those without the condition (4.46±1.06) (P&#60;0.001). When comparing instances with and without LVA, CAD, NEPHROPATHY, CVA, and Hypertensive Retinopathy, a statistically significant difference was found (P&#60; 0.001). The hypertensive population was discovered to have greater blood uric acid levels than normotensives, and this was proven to be related to damage to target organs. This demonstrates that serum uric acid may be used in the hypertensive population as an early biochemical marker to determine the severity of organ damage.

: Pyoderma is an infection of skin or its appendages. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are most common causative agents of Community acquired Pyoderma and Gram negative bacilli are encountered to lesser extent. Emergence of drug resistance has caused increased morbidity and therapeutic challenge in the management of pyoderma cases. Hence the present study is undertaken to know the bacterial profile of Community acquired pyoderma and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern in our set up using conventional techniques. : Pus Samples were processed as per the standard microbiological procedures over a period of one and half year. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method following CLSI guidelines.: out of 150 pus samples, 105 (70%) were primary pyoderma cases and 45 (30%) were secondary. Most affected age group is 0 to 10 years (25.33%) followed by 11 to 20 years (18%). S.aureus (70%) is the most commonly isolated which showed highest resistance towards Penicillin (81.91%) followed by Erythromycin, Ciprofloxacin (55.24%), Amoxicillin-Clavulanic Acid and Ofloxacin (37.14%), Cefepime (29.53%), Cotrimoxazole (26.67%). Lesser resistance was shown against Tetracycline (14.29%), Gentamycin (11%), Clindamycin (06.67%) and Chloramphenicol (02.86%). No resistance was shown against Linezolid. Rate of MRSA was 24.76%. : Present study reveals that children are at higher risk of developing pyoderma and S. aureus is the commonest causative agent in our geographical area with considerably high prevalence of MRSA. Isolates are resistant to commonly used topical agents like erythromycin. Systematic surveillance of antimicrobial susceptibility will help in effective management of cases and emergence of drug resistance.

The WHO global research map for COVID-19 and others had recommended population-level sero epidemiological studies to generate data on the levels of infection in populations and recommended containment measures accordingly. In order to understand the extent of COVID-19 infection, as well as efficacy of vaccine administration program, the present was conducted a COVID-19 sero-survey across the city and study in relation to variables limit like demographic, environmental, social factors. To conduct a COVID-19 sero-survey across the city and study in relation to variables limit like demographic, environmental, social factors in study population. A total of 1571 subjects were surveyed from the 9 wards of Thane Corporation area. The random sampling method ensured almost equal distribution across these wards. Six different age groups defined to ensure a non-skewed spread across all age groups. Higher seroprevalence is seen in younger age groups. The maximum seropositivity was observed in 30-45 age group and minimum was observed in 06-17 age group. This may be attributed to the non-vaccination. Amongst the fully vaccinated population, 5.2% of participants are non-responder i.e. remains seronegative despite partial or full vaccination. COVID-19 pandemic may continue to attack the mankind till all of us develop a strong immunological defense against it either by natural (clinical and sub clinical) or vaccine induced immunity against COVID-19. This sero-surveillance survey still provides us with accurate baseline figures about different socio-demographic and vaccination coverage factors released with the immunological status of participants. Further, regular surveys are necessary above this baseline seroprevalence survey to study any shift in the seropositivity status and the type of variants, so that timely intervention can be considered.
К вопросу о правовой природе Устава о промышленном труде 1913 г
Authors: Иванов Артем Борисович 
Published: December 2024

The publication is devoted to the problem of determining the legal nature of the monument of Russian labor law - the Industrial Labor Statute of 1913 (ILS) through the prism of the theory of legal systematization. In the science of labor law, the creation of the Statute is most often characterized as an official incorporation of labor (factory) legislation of the Russian Empire. Meanwhile, some features of the ILS correspond to the features of other types (forms) of law-systematizing practice. Clarification of the nature of ILS will deepen scientific knowledge in the field of legal systematization, unify approaches to its types (forms) at the general theoretical, historical and sectoral levels of legal doctrine. A uniform understanding of the problem addressed in the publication is also important from an educational and methodological point of view. In general, the theoretical and legal analysis of the structure and content of the ILS has revealed the mixed legal nature of this systematized act. The Statute is the result of the official incorporation and consolidation of Russian labor legislation at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The signs of a consolidated act are manifested in the Statute as a separate legislative act with its own name and other requisites, structure and sequence of presentation of legal material. The lawmaking nature of consolidation, which is not inherent in incorporation, is noticeable in these features of the ILS. The statute is an incorporated act because the laws it presents have not been substantially revised. The Statute has kept the content of the legal regulation of labor relations unchanged. Also, the adoption of the ILS largely did not invalidate those factory laws whose provisions were subject to incorporation, although in fact many laws ceased to apply.

The article is devoted to the study of the following questions: what by its legal nature (family law or civil law) is the obligation to pay alimony arrears, the enforcement of which is carried out during separate enforcement proceedings initiated after the termination of the debtor's alimony obligation in connection with the child reaching adulthood or acquiring full legal capacity under 18 years of age on the grounds of specified in the law; is it lawful to apply such a stimulating measure as restriction of the use of a special right to the debtor within the framework of this enforcement proceedings? In the course of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that this obligation is civil law, and therefore, the application to the debtor of the restriction established by law in case of non-fulfillment of the requirement to collect alimony arising from family legal relations is questionable. Based on the results of the study, proposals were made to amend the legislation

Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo expone los principales resultados elaborados en una Tesis de la Maestría en Salud Mental Comunitaria de la Universidad Nacional de Lanús, defendida en el 2024. El objetivo general se relaciona con describir las características que asume la gestión del proceso de trabajo que el/los equipos de la Sala Residencia del Hospital Esteves realizan en sus tareas en general y, en particular para favorecer los procesos de externación.
Se eligió el Hospital Esteves por la particularidad de ser el único de los cuatro monovalentes de la provincia de Buenos Aires (PBA) con internación en salud mental exclusiva para mujeres. El mismo se encuentra ubicado en Temperley, partido de Lomas de Zamora, perteneciente a la región sanitaria VI.
Actualmente la PBA se encuentra atravesando un proceso de reforma del modelo de atención. Como muestra de este proceso toma importancia el informe que, a principios de 2021, elaboró la Subsecretaría de Salud Mental, Consumos Problemáticos y Violencia de Género, a partir de los planes de adecuación a la Ley Nacional de Salud Mental 26.657 presentados en diciembre de 2020 por las Direcciones de los cuatro monovalentes. En estos planes se presenta el estado de situación de cada hospital, y se elaboran algunos lineamientos a seguir para su reforma (Ministerio de Salud de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, 2021).

Published: December 2024

The change in land use and land cover caused by the expansion of sugar cane in a part of the State of São Paulo between 1988 and 2016 was mapped. The mapping was done automatically using orbital imagery from the Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite and by manual delimitation of polygons. During the period under study, sugarcane areas more than doubled, expanding by 1.2 million hectares, mainly over pasture, annual crops and citrus. Faced with a shortage of land, the sugar energy sector must increase productivity, but in a sustainable way. To meet this challenge, in addition to increasing productivity per hectare, the sector must expand integrated agricultural practices and promote the conservation of native vegetation. Maps generated from large-scale classification of satellite image time series provide a more detailed understanding of land use dynamics and provide valuable input for land use planning policies.
