Authors: Alpaslan Muhammed , ×zkaçmaz Sercan , Dadali Yeliz , Uçar Ilyas 
Published: September 2021

Introduction:
In this study, we aimed to examine the association of cervical spine curve abnormalities (loss of cervical lordosis or reversal of cervical curve) with Chiari Type 1 malformation (CM1). Further, a possible relation of syrinx formation in the cervical spinal cord and disc protrusion with CM1 was analyzed.

Material and Methods:
Cervical spinal magnetic resonance imagings of 998 patients were retrospectively screened for the presence of CM1. The frequency rates of syrinx formation within the spinal cord, cervical spinal curve changes, and cervical disc herniation among CM1+ and CM1− patients were compared.

Results:
Patients with CM1 have significantly higher rate of loss of cervical lordosis when compared with those who have not CM1. The syrinx formation rate was also found lower in the CM1+ patients with loss of cervical lordosis than in CM1+ patients with either normal cervical lordosis or reversed cervical curve. No significant difference was detected between CM1+ and CM1− patients regarding cervical disc herniation rate. Discussion and

Conclusion:
As the loss of cervical lordosis rate is higher in CM1, the patients with lateral X-ray findings of cervical lordosis flattening may be evaluated regarding typical neurological symptoms of syringomyelia.

Astigmatism is a type of refractive error wherein the refraction varies in the different meridian of eye. This accounts for approximately 13% of all refractive errors. Kriyakalpas are the special treatment protocols mentioned for the management of eye disorders in Ayurveda. This paper aims to highlight the benefits of Kriyakalpas in Myopic Astigmatism with a case study, which includes short discussion on the mode of action of various Kriyakalpas based on its bio availability. The efficacy of the treatment plan is dependent on the method of preparation of drug and mode of administration mentioned in classics. It highlights all the above said points on the basis of clinical observations during the treatment of female subject aged 10 years, diagnosed with myopic astigmatism, which can be correlated with features of Prathamapatalagata Timira. She was treated with Nasya, Aschothana, Seka, Pindi and Tarpana. Her visual acuity and Diopteric powers were evaluated before and after the treatment and in follow-ups. There was significant improvement in both the parameters which highlights the benefits of Kriyakalpas in myopic astigmatism.

Authors: Suma Astagimath  , S G Chavan  , Madhusudan Kulkarni  
Published: September 2021

Vatakantaka is characterized by the pain in the heel region and included in the vatavyadhi by Acharya Sushruta. It is common in about 10% of general population. Women are twice more prevalent than men. Vatakantaka is mainly caused due to vitiation of Vatadosha and continuous pressure on the heel region. It can be co-related with Calcaneal spur. It is more prevalent in female due to life style postures like standing for longer period, wearing high heel shoes. Various treatment measures for the management of Vatakantaka are given in the classics of Ayurveda. Siravyadha,Agnikarma and Eranda taila pana are the main chikitsa of Vatakantaka. Achrya Charaka said Vatakantaka is Sweda sadhya Vyadhi. So in this present study, treatment is given with swedana followed by Shamanoushadhi. Here 40 cases of Vatatakantaka vis- a -vis Calcaneal spur were devided in to two groups and subjected to Dashamula churna pinda sweda and valuka sweda for 7 days, followed by Nirgundi Guggulu for 30 days. Patients showed significant results in subjective and objective parameters. The present clinical study has been registered as a Prospective study in clinical trials registry- India (CTRI).

Presentation of the bk21 (Kacprzak) test as a less traumatic alternative to the Lachman test and Drop Leg test in diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament tear
Authors: Kacprzak B. , Siuba-Jarosz N. 
Published: September 2021

Objective: despite the fact that anterior cruciate ligament injuries are the most common ligament injuries, the problem of making a quick and accurate diagnosis still exists. in our paper, we hypothesized that a modification of the Lachman test — BK21 (Kacprzak test), in comparison to the Lachman test and Drop Leg test will allow for a significant reduction of pain during the test, and thus for less muscular defense, more relaxation, and more reliable test results, whose sensitivity and specificity will be confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging.Materials and methods: using the patient’s subjective pain rating scale, the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), we were able to easily assess which way of performing the test was less traumatic for the patient. a physical examination in the form of a comparison of those two visits was performed at the private medical office Orto Med Sport in 203 patients with suspected anterior cruciate ligament tear.Results: the BK21 modification (Kacprzak) test was on average 3 points less painful on the NRS scale than the classic Lachman test and 1 point less painful than the Drop Leg test, while the same principle of operation and analogous endpoints in both tests allow for high sensitivity and specificity of the test.Conclusion: the BK21 test was a less traumatic and painful alternative to the Lachman test.

Authors: Zholdakova Z. I. , Rakhmanov R. S. , Khayrov R. Sh. 
Published: September 2021

Objective: to search for markers of health risk in ice hockey players by the blood parameters.Materials and methods: a total of 40 blood parameters (that characterize nutrient metabolism, humoral immunity, oxidative and nitrosative stress, the system of antioxidant protection) in hockey players with different body weights were evaluated 2.5, 4, and 6 months of the playing season (n = 39).Results: the levels of uric acid and creatinine indicated insufficient recreation of the organism after the games. Creatine phosphokinase­MB and AST indicated the influence on the cardiovascular muscle (verified by the De Ritis ratio). Dyslipidemia was the main factor of cardiovascular risk. Cortisol indicated the prevalence of catabolic processes and psychoemotional tension. The changes in the levels of immunoglobulins and C­reactive protein could result from a compensatory reaction of the organism to stress. The oxidized glutathione indicated the accumulation of products of lipid peroxidation and ongoing oxidative stress. The insufficiency in vitamins of groups B and E could decrease the effectiveness of enzymatic systems and enzymatic links of the oxidant system. The insufficiency of chrome could impair carbohydrate and fat metabolism.Conclusion: predictors for prenosological diagnostics of general health were established. They included urea, total cholesterol of high and low density, vitamin­mineral balance parameters, isoform of creatine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase, cortisol, and glutathione. Professional activity had the most negative influence on the health of sportsmen with lower body weight.

Published: September 2021

Introduction. Globally, the number of people who die from road crashes continues to rise, reaching a high of 1.35 million in 2016. Due to this continued increase in fatalities and injuries within the road transport system, especially in low- and middle-income countries, 2011 to 2020 was declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2010 as the Decade of Action for Road Safety.
Objectives. This study looked into the epidemiology of road crashes and injuries in Metro Manila over ten years, from 2008-2017, from data gathered at the Department of Surgery of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).
Method. A retrospective review of patients’ clinical records was conducted to describe the epidemiology of road crash cases in the Trauma Division, Department of Surgery of the PGH. Clinical records of the road crash patients admitted to the division over the ten years, January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2017, were extracted from the Integrated Surgical Information System (ISIS).
Results. A total of 422 patients were admitted to the PGH Department of Surgery and recorded in the ISIS database, from 2008 to 2017, who suffered from road crashes in Metro Manila. Most of these patients (80.8%) were male. The mean age of patients was 32.4 years. The highest number of admissions (27.5%) and road crash deaths (6.9%) were in 2016; the highest number was from the city of Manila (26.7%), and most happened at nighttime (61.8%) between 6:00 PM and 5:59 AM. Throughout the years, motorcycle (52.8%) was the vehicle type involved. Among patients with helmet use information, 65.4% were not wearing helmets, 91.2% had a history of alcohol intake. The majority incurred multiple injuries (82.7%), with the external region (53.8%) as the most common. Patients who sustained injuries to their head and neck region were five times more likely to die and six times more likely to have an unchanged patient outcome than those who did not have these injuries. Patients who had a GCS of 8 and below or those who had severe brain injuries were eight times more likely to die and six times more likely to have an unchanged patient outcome.
Conclusion. This study looked into the epidemiology of road crash cases admitted to the Surgery Department of the PGH. Road crash injuries and deaths remain a growing concern among the citizens of Metro Manila. It is hoped that the results of this study will provide policymakers with an objective and data-driven perspective on road crashes.

Published: September 2021

Objectives. Telomere length and its relationship to job stress among workers in the health sector in Indonesia, especially in Bali, have never been studied. The purpose of the study was to analyze the correlation of the telomere length and serotonin levels to job stress and the type of locus of control (LOC) among nurses who were running shift work.
Method. This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from April to November 2018 among 68 nurses who were running shift work at a private hospital in Gianyar. The telomere length was measured with the absolute telomere length (aTL) using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technique. Locus of control (LOC) was assessed using the IPC-LOC questionnaire. Serotonin level was measured by the immunoassay technique. Job stress was measured using the BJSQ. Data analysis was conducted with Chi-squared test, correlation test, and independent sample t-test.
Results. There was a significant correlation of job stress with telomere length (p = 0.03). Nurses with job stress faced a 2.9 times risk of short telomere (prevalence ratio, PR = 2.95, 95% CI 1.02, 7.91). The mean telomere length was 17.32 ± 7.80 in nurses who experienced job stress vs. 22.45 ± 8.41 in nurses who did not experience job stress. Comparing with a previous study done by to O’Callaghan et al., in the young group, the mean aTL was 97.2 kb/diploid genome (range 35-260). We also found a significant correlation of job stress score with serotonin level (p = 0.02). The serotonin level among nurses with LOC-e type was lower than LOC-i.
Conclusion. There was a significant correlation between job stress and telomere length, where nurses who experienced job stress had a shorter telomere than those who did not experience job stress. There was also a significant correlation between job stress and serotonin levels, where the mean of serotonin levels in nurses with LOC-e type was lower than LOC-i.
A expressão do futuro do presente, a terceira onda variacionista, os gêneros do discurso e o mundo pós-COVID-19: algumas discussões
Authors: Lacerda Marcela Langa 
Published: September 2021

Este texto, em homenagem à professora Edair Maria Görski, objetiva resgatar algumas reflexões empreendidas por Bragança (2017) no que tange a implicações teórico-metodológicas decorrentes da centralidade que os gêneros do discurso ganham em alguns trabalhos de terceira onda variacionista, fazendo emergir um novo ângulo investigativo para fenômenos variáveis, tais como a expressão do futuro do presente. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, examinam-se (i) parte da literatura sobre esse fenômeno e (ii) parte da literatura da terceira onda variacionista, para ancorar uma breve análise de dois artigos jornalísticos que versam sobre o futuro pós-COVID-19. Os resultados dessa reflexão apontam, como consequências teórico-metodológicas da incorporação de novas perspectivas sobre a variação na terceira onda variacionista, dentre outros aspectos, para: (i) a visão de língua como prática social, sendo a prática discursiva a que recebe mais atenção; (ii) o foco na compreensão da paisagem social das práticas discursivas, por meio do exame da prática estilística; (iii) os gêneros do discurso como o quadro mais produtivo para o exame do estilo linguístico; (iv) o estilo linguístico como uma propriedade do gênero; (v) o linguístico e sua exterioridade como dimensões integradas; (vi) a imprescindibilidade de análise da dimensão social e verbal dos gêneros do discurso, para exame de formas em variação/mudança; (vii) a relação forma-função do fenômeno em tela sendo contraída no âmbito do estilo do gênero e estando a serviço de sua orientação ideológica. Sob esse novo ângulo, muito ainda há o que se investigar sobre a expressão do futuro do presente.
