Authors: Jiang Huiyong , Thapa Dil Momin , Cai Xiangjun , Ma Chun , Wang Mofei 
Published: October 2021

Purpose: Many patients develop a parastomal hernia within the first 2 years of stoma formation, and even surgical repair is associated with high recurrence rates. An intraperitoneal approach is typically used for the laparoscopic repair of parastomal hernia; it is unknown whether a totally extraperitoneal technique (TEP) is feasible. Here we describe a laparoscopic TEP approach using a modified Sugarbaker method for the repair of parastomal hernia.Methods: Seven patients underwent parastomal hernia repair. The retrograde puncture technique was used to create the extrapneumoperitoneum, and the peritoneum was separated with a laparoscopic TEP approach; the mesh was placed using a modified Sugarbaker technique.Results: All patients had an oncologic etiology for stoma creation. The mean (±SD) size of the hernia defect was 3.1 ± 2.7 cm and the mesh size was 303.4 ± 96.8 cm2. The mean operative time was 195.5 ± 20.7 min and average length of hospital stay after surgery was 4.8 ± 2.1 days. One patient had intraoperative subcutaneous emphysema. The average follow-up time was 8.5 ± 2.7 months; mild pain occurred in 2 patients, 3 experienced seroma formation (with no special treatment required), and 1 had early intestinal obstruction (which was treated with conservative care). There was no hernia recurrence, wound complications, or infections of the surgical site or mesh during follow-up.Conclusion: A laparoscopic TEP technique is technically challenging but feasible. Modified laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair of a parastomal hernia with the TEP technique is safe and effective, although the recurrence rate and late complications require confirmation in more cases with long-term follow-up.

Authors: Akindele Mukadas O , Kodzo Phillip , Naimat Mustapha 
Published: October 2021

Background: The use of aerobic exercise as a form of glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus has been well documented in the literatures. High blood pressure has been shown to be one of the sequelae of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Determination of mode of exercises for glycemic control that will not adversely affect the cardiovascular indices of type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects is highly indicated.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the acute cardiovascular responses of type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects to continuous and intermittent modes of exercises.
Results: There was statistical significant difference in heart rate of both groups. Continuous mode of exercise elicited no statistical difference in SBP and DBP but there was statistical significant difference in SBP in intermittent exercise group with no statistical significant in their DBP. Cross comparison of pre and post cardiovascular indices showed that there were statistical significant differences in SBP (F=0.710, P>0.05) and DBP (F=1.397, P>0.05).

Conclusion: Cardiovascular responses of type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects were higher in intermittent exercise group compared with the continuous exercise group.

KEYWORDS: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Aerobic exercise, cardiovascular response.

Authors: Akinpelu Aderonke O , Oyewole O O , Oritogun K S 
Published: October 2021

Background: Knowledge about the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and health outcome is important, because such information adds essential information to the aggregated data that serve as the basis for physical activity guidelines.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and blood pressure in normotensive individual.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey of secondary school students in Sagamu local government area of Ogun state, Nigeria during 2006 school year was carried out. In all 1638 (790 male and 848 female) apparently healthy students with age ranged between 12 and 18 years were selected from 11 schools (8 public and 3 private). The Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and blood pressure of the subjects were measured.
Results: A significant negative correlation between CRF and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) was observed. There was significant curvilinear graded relation between CRF and blood pressure. Coefficient of determination (R2) for cardiorespiratory fitness was 1.54% and 1.18% for systolic and diastolic blood pressure respectively.
Conclusion: The greatest benefit may be achieved when increasing the fitness from low to moderate cardiorespiratory fitness. It is therefore important to direct action towards those adolescents who are the least physically fit to increase their cardiorespiratory fitness and hence reduced their blood pressure.
Key words: Cardiorespiratory fitness index, blood pressure, CHD
The Spinal Column and Abdominal Pressure changes and their relationship with Pain severity in Patients with Low Back Pain
Authors: KUMAR SURAJ , Negi Mahendra Pal Singh , Sharma Vijai Prakash , Shukla Rakesh 
Published: October 2021

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a complex condition which is mainly associated with back (multifidi) and abdominal (transverses abdominis) muscles dysfunction. Though pain is one of the indicators of LBP, the literature data regarding relationship between pain and muscle dysfunction is lacking.
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the differences in spinal column pressure changes (SCPC) and abdominal pressure changes (APC) in male and female patients with LBP and evaluate their relationship with pain severity.
Methods: Thirty nine patients (28 male and 11 female) with sub-acute or chronic LBP participated in the study. Spinal and abdominal muscles pressure changes were measured by pressure measuring device (PMD) while pain severity (Pain) was assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Eight physical characteristics such as Age, Weight, Height, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and pulse rate (PR) were also taken while waist hip ratio (WHR) and body mass index (BMI) were estimated from WC and HC and Weight and Height respectively. Statistical analysis was done using independent Student's t-test, Spearman rank correlation and step wise multiple regression analysis.
Results: The mean Age, Weight, WC, HC, WHR, SBP, DBP, DUR and Pain ofmale and female were found to be similar (p> 0.05). The mean level of both SCPC and APC in male and female differed significantly (p< 0.01) and the levels ofboth were significantly (p< 0.05) high in male than female and for this, significant (p< 0.05) differences in Height, BMI and PR were found to be the responsible. Both spinal column and abdominal pressure changes showed inverse and significant (p< 0.01) correlation with the Pain severity. The WC (waist circumference), HC (hip circumference), BMI and PR were found to be significant risk factors for LBP as they correlate positively and significantly (p< 0.01) with the pain severity. Pain and DUR (duration of pain) were found to be significant predictors of SCPC which accounts for 73% variations of SCPC while Pain, Height and WC of APC which accounts for 61% variations of APC.
Conclusion: In LBP, spinal column and abdominal pressure changes have inverse and significant (p< 0.01) relation with the pain severity. Though, most of the physical characteristics ofmale and female were similar, their spinal and abdominal pressure changes differed significantly. The findings of this study may be helpful in the management of LBP and it is recommended that clinicians should adopt both the pressure changes for diagnostics and prognostics of LBP.

Published: October 2021

In this study, secondary school mathematics teachers’ the opinions related to skills-based questions that are compatible with the LGS (High School Transition Exam) question style were examined. Qualitative research methods were adopted in the study. Mathematics teachers working in secondary schools in various parts of Turkey participated in the study.The data is collected via the semi-structured interview form via the “Google drive”. Content analysis was used in data analysis. The findings revealed that maths teachers did not agree with the achievements of their skill-based questions, and that the maths course’s teaching programs and textbooks were not sufficient to provide effective guidance on skills-based questions. It turns out that teachers need a new course processing process for skill-based questions such as LGS questions. Therefre, it was discovered that they were experiencing a shortage of resources. It was also identified that teachers needed to read books and need in- service training as skill-based questions are questions to understand and interpret what they are reading. Recommendations were made in accordance with the results.

Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT
Fluorescence microscopy is a ubiquitous technique in the life sciences that uses fluorescent molecules to visualize specific components of biological specimens. This powerful tool has revolutionized biology, and it represents a perfect example of the advancements enabled by biophysical research and technology development. However, despite its central role in contemporary research, fluorescence is hardly covered in typical secondary school curricula, with few hands-on “entry-level” materials available for secondary school teachers to introduce this important method to their students. Furthermore, most commercially available fluorescence microscopes are prohibitively costly and often appear as “black boxes.” To address this gap, we introduce here an experimental, research-grade fluorescence microscopy kit and educational resource targeted at secondary school students and teachers. Microscope in Action is an interdisciplinary resource based on active learning that combines concepts from both optics and biology. The students assemble a functional microscope from basic optical, mechanical, and electronic parts, thereby testing and understanding the function of each component “hands-on.” We also present sample preparation and imaging activities that can be incorporated to enable an exploration of biological topics with the assembled microscope and exercises in which students actively learn and practice scientific thinking by collecting and analyzing data. Although the resource was developed with secondary schools in mind, the variety of available protocols and the adjustable module lengths make it suitable for different age groups and topics, from middle school to PhD level, from short workshops to courses spanning several days.
