Published: December 2021

An individual's ability or self-empowerment of the elderly in meeting needs, solving problems, utilizing existing resources for their lives. Self empowerment experienced by the elderly causes changes in the quality of life. The purpose of the study was to identify the relationship between self-empowerment and the quality of life of the elderly in RW 02, TKK sub-district/district, Surabaya City. This research uses cross sectional approach and correlational method. The independent variable is self-empowerment and the dependent variable is quality of life. The population in this study were all elderly who were in the RW 02 area, TKK sub-district/district, Surabaya as many as 34 elderly. Sampling used a total sampling technique, namely 34 respondents. The measuring instrument used is the WHOQOL questionnaire and the self-empowerment questionnaire. The results of the study were statistical tests using chi-square and showed that there was a significant relationship (p = 0,000) and was a strong relationship (r = 1,000) between self empowerment and the quality of life of the elderly in RW 02, TKK sub-district/district, Surabaya City. Problems that arise in the elderly include the inability to access health services, no old-age insurance and lack of social support. As a result of these problems, the elderly feel powerless and useless (lack of self-empowerment) in everyday life.

Over the past 10 years, many scientific groups have experimentally shown that non-functionalized nanoparticles show a pronounced antiviral and antimicrobial action against different pathogens. In order to understand the mechanism of nanoparticles action it is important to know its peculiarities, i.e. dependences on different nanoparticles and pathogen properties.In this work we studied how Au nanoparticles act on the viruses outside and inside the cell, and compare this action for two sizes of nanoparticles and two types of the viruses. The study has been conducted for adenovirus and H1N1 influenza virus, and nanoparticles of 5 nm and 20 nm diameter.Virucidal and antiviral actions were observed experimentally for both types of nanoparticles against both viruses. It has been shown that intensity of virucidal action depends on the nanoparticles concentration non-monotonically for adenovirus. It has also been shown with electron microscopy that the viruses are destructed after 5 nm nanoparticles adsorption on their surface; and that the viruses change their shape after 20 nm nanoparticles adsorption on their surface. The model of physical adsorption of nanoparticles on the virus surface due to near-field interaction proposed in previous works may explain observed results on virucidal action of nanoparticles.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Oral disease ranks third among the most serious diseases in the world, after cancer and cardiovascular disease. Vietnamese population has suffered from various dental and oral diseases, of which the most common have been identified to be cavities and inflammation around the teeth. AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using xylitol gum on the status of Strepptococus mutans bacteria in saliva. METHODS: The study design was an uncontrolled clinical study conducted at the Hanvinco Texture Factory (Hanoi). Two hundred and fifty-four subjects between the ages of 18 and 63 were included in the clinical trial. These subjects brushed their teeth for 2 weeks before providing a saliva sample for S. mutans. The 80 subjects with the highest number of salivary S. mutans were recruited for the further analysis (at least 104 CFU/ml). After each clinical intervention, participant chewed Lotte xylitol gum after each meal, two capsules each time and 1 time in the evening (total 4 times/day), continuously for 4 weeks. Saliva samples were quantified for S. mutans by real-time PCR method. RESULTS: Quantitative analysis of S. mutans bacteria in saliva of 254 subjects showed that 19.7% had S. mutans detected within 105 CFU/ml of saliva. These result shows that nearly 20% of the subjects examined have a high risk of tooth decay. After continuous use of xylitol chewing gum 4 times a day for 4 weeks by 80 subjects, it showed a decrease in the number of S. mutans in the saliva of participants, and the difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: The use of xylitol chewing gum taken 4 times/day is effective in reducing the number of S. mutans bacteria in saliva when combined with brushing your teeth.

Is Any Dialogue Between Psychoanalysis and Developmental Psychology Really Impossible?
Authors: Yi Mi-Kyung 
Published: December 2021

La référence à l’infantile entraîne un cortège de confusions, comme le rabattement de la recherche de l’originaire sur l’origine, la confusion entre l’histoire de la genèse de la sexualité infantile et le développement de l’enfant en général. Ces confusions entraînent des conséquences sérieuses qui ne cessent de brouiller la spécificité de la psychanalyse et de conduire dans les impasses, sinon à la rupture, le dialogue entre celle-ci et la psychologie, notamment la psychologie du développement. Une problématique cristallise l’ensemble de ces questions : le modèle du développement. L’auteur tente de dégager les ressorts de l’attrait de ce dernier, irréductible au registre épistémologique et agissant au cœur même de la pratique analytique.

Published: December 2021

Purpose:
To evaluate the efficacy of voriconazole and amphotericin B in McCarey–Kaufman (MK) media.

Methods:
MK media vials were supplemented with either voriconazole at 1, 2, 20, 50, 100 μg/mL or amphotericin B at 0.5, 1, 2, 10, 20 μg/mL. The standard inoculum of the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) strain of Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, and Fusarium keratinoplasticum was added to the set of vials. The efficacy outcomes were calculated as ‘viable fungal colony counts’ determined from the samples taken on Days 0 and 4. MK media containing fungal inoculum but without antifungal supplements were used as control.

Results:
In the voriconazole arm, on Day 4, a reduction in the colony count was observed for Candida albicans (1 μg/mL, 36%; 100 μg/mL, 100%), Aspergillus flavus (1 μg/mL, 53.8%; 100 μg/mL, 80.4%), and Fusarium keratinoplasticum (1 μg/mL, 39.0%; 100 μg/mL, 72.2%). Similarly, in the amphotericin B arm, on Day 4, a reduction in the colony count was observed for Candida albicans (0.5 μg/mL; 99.9%; 20 μg/mL, 100%), Aspergillus flavus (0.5 μg/mL, 65.2%; 20 μg/mL, 84.8%), and Fusarium keratinoplasticum (0.5 μg/mL, 90.1%; 20 μg/mL, 100%).

Conclusion:
Compared to voriconazole, the addition of amphotericin B significantly reduces fungal contamination in MK media.

Authors: Namitha V G , Kumar Dhivya Ashok 
Published: December 2021

Purpose:
To find the intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation changes before and after isotonic collagen cross-linking (CXL) in keratoconus patients.

Methods:
Thirty-five eyes of 25 patients who underwent isotonic CXL were included. The cases included conventional CXL (n = 16), accelerated CXL (n = 7), contact lens-assisted CXL (CACXL) (n = 9), accelerated CACXL (n = 3). All underwent ocular biometry (IOL master), corneal topography (Orbscan II), and simulated keratometry (Orbscan II) preoperatively and 1-year post CXL. Change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL), simulated keratometry (Sim K), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and IOL power were analyzed in the overall data and then grouped based on flattening (Group A) and no flattening (Group B) of Sim K value post CXL procedure.

Results:
For the overall data, there was no significant change in IOL power (P = 0.05) at the end of 1 year, BCVA showed a significant increase (P < 0.01), and Sim K reading showed a statistically significant flattening (P = 0.001); ACD and AL showed insignificant change. In intergroup comparison, there was no statistically significant change in IOL power. However, in Group A, a significant change in BCVA and Sim K values was observed. In both groups (Group A and Group B), IOL power was found to be negatively correlated with AL and Sim K values.

Conclusion:
Isotonic CXL did not affect IOL power calculation at the end of 1 year. However, significant change in BCVA and sim K reading was noted.

Published: December 2021

Purpose:
To study the epidemiological pattern and diagnostic accuracy of histopathologically proven eyelid lesions over a period of two decades.

Methods:
A retrospective study of all histopathologically proven eyelid lesions from April 1996 to March 2016 was conducted. The lesions were broadly categorized as benign or malignant. Inflammatory and infectious lesions were included under the benign category. The percentage and diagnostic accuracy of each lesion was calculated.

Results:
There were a total of 994 (M = 551, F = 443) cases. The mean age of the patients was 43.5 ± 19.9 years. There were 809 (81.4%) benign and 185 (18.6%) malignant lesions. Benign lesions were commonly seen in the fourth decade, while the malignant ones in the late fifth decade. The upper lid was the most common site in both groups (n = 481, 48.4%). The commonest benign lesion was chalazion (n = 484, 59.8%). Dermal nevus (n = 94, 11.6%) was the most common benign neoplasm, while Molluscum contagiosum (n = 25, 3.09%) was the most common infectious lesion. Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) (n = 103, 55.7%) was the leading malignant lesion followed by basal cell carcinoma (n = 39, 21.1%). Eleven malignant cases were misdiagnosed as benign (5.9%). Chalazion (99.1%) and SGC (65%) had the highest diagnostic accuracy, while Molluscum (40%) and squamous cell carcinoma (40%) were the most misdiagnosed lesions in the respective groups.

Conclusion:
Benign eyelid lesions are far more common than malignant ones. Atypical and rare presentations may lead to misdiagnosis. Knowledge of epidemiological patterns and clinical features can help in achieving higher diagnostic accuracy.
Internal limiting membrane peeling for large macular hole: Tailoring the rhexis to the shape of the hole
Authors: Shukla Dhananjay , Kalliath Jay 
Published: December 2021

Purpose:
To report a simple modification of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling tailored to the shape of the macular hole to improve the closure rates.

Methods:
This is a single-center interventional case series. conducted between 2016 and 2020. The minimum follow-up was 4 months. All surgeries were performed by one surgeon. Twenty consecutive patients (21 eyes) with large idiopathic macular holes (horizontal diameter: ≥600 μm) were enrolled; vertical hole diameters were also measured using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Following vitrectomy, ILM peeling was performed over a horizontally oval area (additional 1 disc-diameter temporally); perfluoropropane gas (C3F8, 15%) tamponade was used. Hole closure and change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were monitored after absorption of the gas. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuities were compared using paired t-test. IBM SPSS (ver. 26) was used for analysis.

Results:
The macular holes were horizontally oval rather than circular without exception: mean horizontal and vertical diameters were 714 μm (range: 600–1020 μm) and 602 μm (490–844 μm), respectively. Following vitrectomy, macular hole closure was obtained in 20/21 eyes by the last follow-up (mean: 28 months, median: 34 months; range 4–48 months). Mean Snellen BCVA improved from 20/200 to 20/63 (P < 0.0001).

Conclusion:
All the macular holes in the study were observed to be horizontally oval. A corresponding horizontal enlargement of the ILM rhexis yielded excellent anatomical and satisfactory visual outcomes.

Authors: Bafna Rahul Kumar , Mahalingam Karthikeyan , Rakheja Vaishali , Sharma Namrata , Gupta Shikha , Daniel Roy Arokiam , Gupta Viney 
Published: December 2021

Purpose:
The Castroviejo caliper is routinely used for measuring the corneal diameter in patients with primary congenital glaucoma, but needs an examination under anesthesia (EUA) or sedation. A simple U-shaped tool was devised to aid in the estimation of the corneal diameters of patients in settings where an ophthalmic caliper is not available or EUA is not feasible.

Methods:
Infants presenting to the congenital glaucoma clinic posted for EUA were recruited. The demographic details of the patients such as age, sex, and diagnosis were noted. A simple U-shaped tool was devised using three Schirmer strips or a printable ruler. Before the patient underwent a EUA, the corneal diameters were measured using the U-tool. During EUA, corneal diameters were measured using the Castroviejo caliper.

Results:
The mean age of infants was 6.7 ± 3.39 months (R = 1–12). The mean corneal diameter measured using the U-tool was 13.29 ± 1.33 mm and with Castroviejo caliper was 13.18 ± 1.39 mm. The difference between the corneal diameters measured using the two techniques was −0.114 mm with the Bland–Altman plot 95% Limits of agreement (LoA) from −0.965 to 0.737 mm. Corneal diameters measured with both instruments had a good correlation (Pearson’s correlation coefficient = 0.95, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
U-tool can be used for screening congenital glaucoma by first-contact physicians or optometrists. It can also be used by ophthalmologists when EUA is delayed.

Authors: Javaregowda Devaraju Chandagalu , Nanjappa Veena , Sadananda K S , Manjunath C N 
Published: December 2021

Introduction:
Heart failure (HF) causes a high impact on morbidity and mortality; it also affects the quality of life (QOL) and psychometric components.

Aim:
To develop a simple module to assess QOL including various parameters such as functional status, symptoms, emotional well-being, financial impact, social function, and health-related behavior. Methods: The study was conducted at Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, Mysore, which has an annual inpatient admissions of over 12,000 cardiac cases. Two hundred patients were included in the study. All 200 patients were given both Minnesota Living with HF (MLHFQ) Questionnaire and Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research (SJICSR) Questionnaire after translation into their native language.

Results:
Out of 200 patients, 75% were male. 71% of them had ischemic heart disease. The mean questions filled were 18.45 in SJICSR-QOL questionnaire and 20.29 in Minnesota questionnaire. The time taken for the researcher to conduct the interview and for the patient to fill up the SJICSRQOL Questionnaire was significantly less than that needed for the Minnesota Questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha tool was utilized to analyze the reliability. When seven subgroups were considered, the questions showed reliability of 0.879, and when six subgroups were considered, the reliability was found to be 0.898.

Conclusion:
Both SJICR-QOL and MLQOL are valid and reliable tools of measure of QOL in patients with HF. The time taken was lesser, and more questions were answered in SJCISR-QOL questionnaire. It is a potential tool for future use in both research and clinical practice in congestive HF patients, even in primary care setting.
