Authors: Singh Nirnhai , Kukkar Amit Anant , Kumar Rajesh , Singh Karamjit 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

AIMS:
To compare direct chop and stop-and-chop phacoemulsification techniques in grade 3 and grade 4 cataract patients.

DESIGN:
A prospective randomized trial done for 1 year conducted in a tertiary care hospital on 100 eyes of 100 patients.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
After taking informed consent, patients with nuclear cataract grade 3 and grade 4 according to Lens Opacities Classification System III without any coexisting corneal pathology, glaucoma, and traumatic cataracts were enrolled in the study. They were randomly grouped into group 1 (n = 50) patients undergoing phacoemulsification by direct chop technique and group 2 (n = 50) patients undergoing phacoemulsification by stop-and-chop technique. They were compared on parameters of endothelial cell count, central corneal thickness (CCT), and best corrected visual acuity (VA; BCVA) they were followed up on postoperative days 1, 7, 14, and 28.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS:
Data are described in terms of mean and standard deviation, frequencies (number of cases), and relative frequencies (percentages) as appropriate. All analyses are completed using MS Excel.

RESULT:
The endothelial cell loss average at the end of 4 weeks postoperatively was higher in group 2 than in group 1 and this was statistically significant. The average CCT did not change between the two groups. The best corrected VA between the two groups was the same.

CONCLUSIONS:
The phaco chop techniques have evolved to have better endothelial cell counts postoperatively and minimize the use of ultrasound energy. This study over 1 year concludes that the direct chop technique of nucleotomy had better endothelial cell count postoperatively than the stop-and-chop method of nucleotomy. There is no statistically significant difference in CCT in both techniques.
Retained bandage contact lens for years in a neglected patient: A case report
Authors: Stephen Mary , Periyandavan Jayasri 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Contact lenses have been used for various purposes including optical as well as therapeutic modalities. The bandage contact lens is a soft contact lens commonly used to promote epithelial healing as in cases such as trauma, post-refractive surgery, and post-pterygium excision to alleviate pain in ruptured bullae and to provide tectonic support in the descemetocele, small corneal perforation (used with glue). In most cases, it is removed within a period of 3–5 days. In this study, we report a case of a 66-year-old female patient who presented with left eye pain and watering. On examination, a bandage contact lens was observed in its position with multiple folds in the center and conjuctivalization, with few bullae and varied degree of corneal opacity in the center of the cornea along with areas of superficial vascularization. The bandage contact lens was removed, which was placed 2 years ago, and the patient was started on topical medications, following which her symptoms improved. This case report mainly emphasized on the need for proper patient education regarding follow-up and risks before using the bandage contact lens to avoid complications, and to our knowledge, this scenario is very rare in clinical practice.
Assessment of quality of life in patients undergoing periodontal flap surgery using the questionnaire for patient-based outcomes following periodontal therapy
Authors: Deka Birina , Nadig Prasad , Shah Monali , Tilokani Tanvi , Gandhi Hardi 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
After periodontal therapy, metrics such as pocket probing depth and clinical attachment level are typically measured, but patient-centered outcomes are often overlooked. It is important to enhance the evaluation of flap surgery outcomes with a questionnaire that gauges the quality of life in patients, postprocedure. The questionnaire for patient-based outcomes following periodontal therapy (QPBOPT) includes 14 items that investigate the potential observations and expectations of patients following periodontal treatment.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 51 patients who had received periodontal flap surgery. The QPBOPT was administered 3 months after the treatment, and the collected data were then subjected to statistical analysis.

Results:
All patients (100%) reported a decrease in bleeding gums, and 96% noticed an improvement in bad breath following surgery. Nevertheless, 68.6% of patients were discontented with the positioning of their gums, whereas 76.5% continued to experience sensitivity after the procedure.

Conclusion:
Significant improvements were seen in most dimensions except for the position of gums and sensitivity from the patient’s perspective. Hence, there is a need to address both the esthetic expectations of the patient and the hypersensitivity following flap surgery.
Effect of Pranic Healing on sleep quality in primary insomnia: An exploratory study
Authors: Santhosh G. N. , Shetty Prashanth , Shetty Geetha B. , Shetty Balakrishna , Nanjeshgowda H. L. 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Insomnia, characterized by difficulty in falling or staying asleep, significantly impacts daily functioning despite adequate sleep opportunities, affecting physical, mental, social health, and professional life. Pranic Healing (PH) is an age-old therapeutic modality focused on the energy fields that surround and reside inside the human body. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of PH on sleep quality in individuals with insomnia.

Methods:
Fifteen eligible subjects completed the study by receiving 7 PH sessions for 2 weeks for 30 min. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was assessed at baseline and postintervention before administering the prandial healing treatment.

Results:
After 2 weeks of PH, it was revealed that of the six components of the PSQI, subjective sleep quality (p < 0.001), sleep latency (p < 0.005), sleep duration (p < 0.004), and daytime dysfunction (p < 0.04) improved significantly, and SCI (p < 0.001). However, changes in sleep efficiency (p = 0.82) and sleep disturbances (p = 0.06) were not significant. Overall, there was a significant improvement in the quality of sleep in subjects diagnosed with insomnia.

Conclusion:
PH has shown promise for improving sleep quality in patients with insomnia through its influence of pranic energy. However, further long-term randomized controlled studies are needed to determine the results and mechanism of action involved.
Translanguaging und sein Potenzial für den DaF-Unterricht sowie fachsprachlichen DaF-Unterricht
Authors: Jazbec Saša 
Published: December 2024

Foreign language teaching, especially the teaching of non-English languages, is facing significant challenges today due to the status of English among languages and in the context of migration, globalization, and mediatization. The old, familiar methods that have long been successful with regard to language learning and teaching are now no longer effective, do not motivate learners, and do not achieve the results that teachers want. The current monolingual paradigm of foreign language teaching will thus have to change, and various different approaches are available. This paper focuses on translanguaging, a new approach to language processing and use that starts with the individual and their single linguistic repertoire.
These resources can be understood from the perspective of translingualism as a transition between languages or a fluid use of all available linguistic resources. This transition is essential in bridging the communication gap between the individual’s professional knowledge and limited foreign language skills, or overcoming the communication constraints caused by limited foreign language competencies. The first part of the paper discusses the concept of translingualism from a theoretical linguistic and didactic perspective. In the second part, the teaching of Tessa Brown, an American teacher who has been working successfully with the translingual approach, is described, and two didactic proposals for implementing translingualism in the classroom – namely the so-called translingual spaces and translingual rings – are presented. The first proposal illustrates a pedagogical experiment in which cross-linguistic transitions are essential for contextual diversity, even if developing foreign language competence or communicative skills in German needs to be addressed. The second proposal describes possible didactic methods in the classroom. We have theoretically identified and illustratively shown that the cross-linguistic approach has significant potential for teaching German as a foreign language, as well as for teaching German as a language for specific purposes.
La notion de «mot» en marge de l’analyse linguistique
Authors: Vitez Primož 
Published: December 2024

L’article se propose d’examiner le potentiel descriptif de la notion métalinguistique de «mot». Considérant les critères grammaticaux, la notion de mot ouvre d’abord la question de délimitation entre l’analyse morphologique et syntaxique des structures linguistiques. Le mot écrit semble présenter moins de complexité définitoire, puisqu’il est apparemment facile de discerner visuellement une suite continue de graphèmes entre deux blancs. Même si les critères morphosyntaxiques semblent moins obscurcissants à l’écrit, il est dans la nature de l’orthographe d’hésiter parfois à déterminer l’extension du mot comme unité graphique. A long terme, c’est l’usage qui provoque des changements que les prescriptions systémiques choisissent ou refusent d’adopter. La supposition sémantique avançant que le mot – en tant qu’unité de signification autonome – se réfère à un segment particulier de la réalité extralinguistique n’est guère plus précise: le cas des noms composés (porte-manteau, quatre-vingts, grand-mère etc.) problématise ces unités sémantiques de façon à ce que l’observateur doit argumenter si leur structure consiste en un mot ou deux. La réflexion du mot pose très concrètement la question du rapport entre la langue et son usage. Il semble que, pour définir le mot, il faut impérativement prendre en compte les manifestations orales de l’usage linguistique et privilégier l’analyse de l’accentuation. Même si le découpage en segments accentuels n’affecte pas l’unité lexémique, ce qui d’ailleurs est le plus souvent le cas des langues à accent non-fixe, le mot (ou du moins le mot phonétique) est une unité de sens que l’accent permet de reconnaître. Le mot est donc aussi définissable comme une unité accentuelle.
