Published: July 2017

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan tahun 2007 dengan tujuan memberikan gambaran pola pembagian kerja dan kontribusi gender terhadap pendapatan rumah tangga serta strategi pemberdayaan gender dalam rangka menopang peningkatan pendapatan rumah tangga nelayan. Metode pendekatan secara kualitatif dalam bentuk studi kasus digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah metode analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menggambarkan bahwa pola pembagian kerja dan curahan waktu dalam aktivitas produktif pada rumah tangga nelayan di desa Batanjung Kabupaten Kapuas didominasi oleh perempuan. Sementara laki-laki umumnya terlibat sebagai tenaga pembantu saja. Pola pembagian kerja pada aktivitas produktif lebih didominasi oleh laki-laki. Namun demikian, istri juga terlibat dalam aktivitas penangkapan di perairan umum (rawa dan sungai) yang lokasinya dekat dengan pemukiman mereka. Istri nelayan memiliki kontribusi yang cukup besar dan memegang peranan penting dalam ekonomi rumah tangga. Meskipun jika dilihat dari curahan waktu produktifnya, istri nelayan jauh lebih sedikit dibandingkan suami. Namun demikian, tetap saja kedudukan istri dalam kegiatan produktif hanya dianggap membantu suami untuk menambah pendapatan keluarga. Tittle: Work Share Pattern and Gender Contribution to Fisher's Household Income: Case Study of Fisher's Household in Batanjung Village, Kapuas District.This research has been executed in 2007 aiming to give the description concerning with work share pattern and gender contribution to household income, and also to give description of gender empowerment strategy in effort to support increasing income of fisher's household. Descriptive analysis was used in this research. Results show that work share pattern and time spent in reproductive activities at fisher's household in Batanjung village, Kapuas district was dominated by women, whereas men generally were involved as assistant workers. Work share pattern at productive activities was dominated by men. But, women were also involved in fishing activities at inland fisheries (river and swamp) where the fishing ground nearby with their resident. Fisher's wife had a big contribution and hold important role in household economy. Even though wife had more time to spend on productive activities than husband, but wife's position in productive activities was still considered to be an assistant of husband in the household income.

Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui keseimbangan kurva penawaran dan permintaan produk perikanan tangkap perairan umum daratan di Propinsi Sumatera Selatan. Penelitian dilakukan pada tahun 2007 sampai dengan 2008. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan sekunder. Pendugaan kurva penawaran menggunakan parameter biologi, parameter ekonomi, sedangkan pendugaan kurva permintaan menggunakan metode regresi dari beberapa variabel yang berpengaruh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pemanfaatan sumber daya perikanan perairan umum daratan pada kondisi MSY ditinjau dari sisi jumlah produksi adalah 85,55% dan 82,32% jika ditinjau dari jumlah effort. Kurva penawaran berbalik kebelakang pada jumlah produksi 44.004 ton dengan tingkat harga Rp. 2.350 per kg. Perpotongan kurva penawaran dan permintaan terjadi pada tingkat harga Rp. 5.200 per kg dan jumlah produksi 32.597 ton. Perpotongan atau keseimbangan ini terjadi pada kurva penawaran setelah berbalik ke belakang. Peningkatan produksi secara terus menerus akan menyebabkan sumberdaya perikanan perairan umum tidak lestari. Implikasi kebijakan yang dapat disarankan adalah diperlukannya kebijakan pengelolaan dengan meningkatkan produksi ikan dari usaha budidaya. Tittle: Supply and Demand Curve of The Inland Fishery Product in Sumatera South ProvinceThis reseach aimed to know equilibrium of supply and demand of both curve inland fisheries resource in South Sumatera. Biological and economical parameter are used to estimated a supply curve, and regression method is used to estimate demand curve. Result showed that exploitation rate of inland fisheries resource at MSY are 85.55% of harvest and 82,32% of effort. Backward bending supply curve happened at 44,004 ton of harvest and Rp. 2,350 of price per kg. Supply and demand equilibrium happened at Rp. 5,200 of price per kg and 32,597 ton of harvest. This equilibrium happened at backward bending of supply curve. A continuing increase in production will level to unsustainable fishery production. Policy implycation could be addressed is the need for the management authority to increase fish production from aquaculture.

Authors: V. Padma , Banupriya Amogh 
Published: July 2017

Background: Higher uric acid is a negative prognostic factor in patients with mild to severe heart failure. Studies have shown that there is a close correlation between serum uric acid concentration and Killip classification in patients of acute myocardial infarction and uric acid levels are higher in patients with higher Killips class.Methods: We studied 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction and compared with 100 controls. Serum uric acid level was measured on day 0, 3 and 7 of MI and results were analysed.Results: Average uric acid level in male cases was 5.6 and female cases was 5.2, male controls were 4.2 and female controls was 3.6. Females had a higher mortality when compared with male patients. One female died due to MI on day 0, one male and two females died on day 3 and four males and four females died on day 7. All patients who died had higher uric acid levels.Conclusions: Serum uric acid levels are higher in patients of acute myocardial infarction as compared to normal healthy persons. Serum uric levels increases in patients with higher Killip class. Combination of Killip class and serum uric acid level after acute myocardial infarction is a good predictor of mortality after acute myocardial infarction.

Published: July 2017

Background: The growing incidence of diabetes, consequent devastating morbidity, increasing mortality highlight the need for innovative approaches for prevention and management of disease. Pleiotropic hormonal effect of vitamin D3 has speculated its role in pathogenesis of diabetes. This study aims to assess vitamin D3 levels in study and control group and co-relate its level with HbA1c.Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study done on randomly selected patients from January 2015 to September 2016. Patients were divided into 2 groups: control group and study group including pre-diabetics and diabetics. Venous sample for serum 25-OH vitamin D and HbA1c were collected.Results: 109 subjects were included in the study: 37 controls, 41 pre-diabetics, 31 diabetics. Out of the 37 healthy subjects, 14 (37.9%) had sufficient levels, 11 (29.7%) had insufficient levels whereas 12 (32.4%) were deficient in Serum vitamin D3 levels. Vitamin D3 deficiency was prevalent in 46.3% pre-diabetics, 41.7% diabetics with good glycaemic control and 84.2% diabetics with poor glycaemic control.Conclusions: Using Pearson Chi square, inverse co-relation was found between glycated haemoglobin and vitamin D3 levels (p<0.003).

Published: July 2017

Background: Paraquat poisoning is a weedicide used rarely for suicide. It is now being increasingly as this type of suicidal poisoning is almost always fatal as there is no specific antidote for paraquat poison. ARDS, acute kidney injury with metabolic acidosis or multi-organ failure are the frequent causes of mortality.Methods: The study aimed to study the morbidity and mortality rates of Paraquat poisoning in tertiary care teaching hospital. Patients admitted with Paraquat poisoning were included, and the data were collected and analysed.Results: The total number of cases admitted with paraquat poisoning in intensive care unit in three years duration were 10. All the cases were suicidal in nature. 80% of the cases had acute kidney injury with severe metabolic acidosis and 20% had mediastinitis. 70% of cases died within 48 hours of ingestion. The overall mortality rate was 100% in spite of active management.Conclusions: Of all registered herbicides, Paraquat is the most serious and life threatening. Inspite of early haemodialysis, steroids and cyclophosphamide therapy, it was ineffective in reducing the mortality rates. Newer treatment like early hemoperfusion may help to reduce the mortality in future.

Published: July 2017

Background: Subtle alterations in thyroid function tests are more common in HIV infection and at times detectable in the early phase of disease and as well as in late phases. However, there is paucity of Indian studies.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among adult HIV positive patients attending OPD and IPD of tertiary care hospital in collaboration with ART-plus center over a period of 21months. 100 adult HIV positive patients were interviewed and clinically examined. On the basis of CD4 count patients were divided into 3 groups {0-200 (Group A), 201-350 (Group B) and >350 cells/mm3 (Group C)}. Subjects were also divided into two group based on type and duration of HAART regimen.Results: Out of 100 patients included in the study 68% were males, 73% married, 12% had subclinical hypothyroidism, out of 6% of overt hypothyroidism subjects 5% were females. Among the 3 groups, thyroid abnormalities were found to be more common in group B followed by Group A and C. Patients on TLE regimen had 14% thyroid abnormalities as compared to 4% in ZLN group.Conclusions: Subclinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism are the commonest thyroid abnormality seen, more commonly in females. CD4 counts have direct association with free T3 and free T4 and inverse association with Serum TSH level indicating trend for hypothyroidism as HIV disease progresses. Thyroid abnormalities vary with the type and duration of HAART regimen.

Authors: Agarwala Sourav , Ansari Md. Asif , Paul Uttam Kumar , Bandyopadhyay Arup 
Published: July 2017

Background: Non-adherence to oral hypoglycaemic agents is both a global and ubiquitous problem during treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This leads to unwanted persistence and aggregation of hyperglycemia as well as many of the complications of diabetes mellitus and even to early death. However, there have been quite a few studies on this issue but different studies have shown different reasons of non-adherence because of this confusion and also because no studies have been done in Bihar and North Bengal, the present authors decided to go for a qualitative study on this issue.Methods: This study was conducted in the medicine OPD of two medical colleges one in Bihar and another in north Bengal. The study method was one of the qualitative descriptive nature in which open interviews are conducted on non-compliant diabetic patients. Audio recording was taken in each case after taking written permission from the patients as well as from the institutional ethical committee. A transcript in English was made manually of each audio recording and then transcript analysis was done using categories and codes.Results: The results showed existence for four broad categories, viz, adverse effect, economic issues, availability and alternative treatment. Each category was divided into several codes like - adverse effects into weakness, hypoglycemia, organ damage, vertigo and fear; economic issues into high cost, low income, lifelong high expenditure and family crisis; availability into total non-availability, local non-availability, travel expenses and problems to buy from distance and brand non-availability; lastly alternative treatment included Ayurveda, Homeopathy and jori-buti. The last two categories, viz, non-availability and alternative therapy are very much unique in our study.Conclusions: It can be concluded that non-adherence is very much a problem in our places as it is in other places, nationally and globally. But it is slightly different here. We must find out solutions for this problem and start interventions immediately.

Published: July 2017

Background: Undoubtedly, stroke is an important public health problem as well as an important precursor of mortality and morbidity. It also leads to loss of disability adjusted life years as it causes long term severe disability. The objective of this study was to study association of lipoprotein (a) in ischemic stroke patients with matched controls.Methods: This is a prospective case controlled study. The study group includes 100 stroke patients consecutive admitted in medicine/neurology departments of our hospital, and 50 patients as control group admitted for nonvascular diseases. The ethical committee clearance was obtained from the appropriate authority appointed by the institution. Detailed history taking and neurological examination were done in all patientsResults: This case-control study shows that ischemic stroke patients have higher levels of Lp (a) as compared to that of controls. Thus, people with high Lp (a) levels may have higher predilection for developing ischemic stroke. Lp (a) levels do not correspond to stroke severity stroke in our study. Thus, higher Lp (a) levels do not lead to more severe type of stroke. Lp (a) levels do not correlate with the outcome of stroke, hence Lp (a) level may not be a good indicator for assessing prognosis or predicting mortalityConclusions: This case-control study shows that ischemic stroke patients have higher levels of Lp (a) as compared to that of controls. Thus, people with high Lp (a) levels may have higher predilection for developing ischemic stroke factors for stroke like diabetes, smoking and hypertension do not predisposed to higher Lp (a).

Published: July 2017

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome with a broad aetiological profile. It is associated with major morbidity and significant mortality. This study is to determine the various causes of AKI, in our hospital and to find out the incidence of AKI by using renal failure indices and to analyze outcome of AKI pertaining to the aetiology.Methods: Study is conducted on 100 AKI patients on haemodialysis admitted in various medical wards of the Mc Gann Hospital attached to Shimoga institute of medical sciences, Shimoga. From January 1st, 2017 to June 30th, 2017 detailed history was taken in all the patients and a through physical examination was done. Baseline and peak levels of serum Creatinine, urine output was documented. Data regarding laboratory investigations were collected to confirm the etiology of AKI.Results: There were 65 males and 35 females. The highest number of cases are in age group 51 to 60 year (32%). Average age is 56±5.6 years. Fever, nausea and oliguria are the most common clinical features seen 66,66 and 64 percentage respectively, followed by edema (23%) and loses tools (17%). Blood urea (>100), serum Creatinine (>4) in 44% and 46% respectively. Hb <10 gm/dl in 54%. WBC count >12000 in 65%. Sepsis and gastroenteritis are leading medical causes 25% and 12% respectively. Surgical causes are 14% and obstetrics causes are 11%.Conclusions: AKI remains a common disorder among critically ill patients Consistent with other studies from developing world; this study has also shown that infections, nephrotoxins and gastroenteritis are the primary causes of AKI at our institute. Most of these causes can be prevented with simple interventions such as health education on oral rehydration, quality prenatal and emergency obstetric care, appropriate management of infections and taking appropriate precautions when prescribing potentially nephrotoxic medications.

Objectives. To assess the feasibility of chronic disease surveillance using distributed analysis of electronic health records and to compare results with Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) state and small-area estimates. Methods. We queried the electronic health records of 3 independent Massachusetts-based practice groups using a distributed analysis tool called MDPHnet to measure the prevalence of diabetes, asthma, smoking, hypertension, and obesity in adults for the state and 13 cities. We adjusted observed rates for age, gender, and race/ethnicity relative to census data and compared them with BRFSS state and small-area estimates. Results. The MDPHnet population under surveillance included 1 073 545 adults (21.8% of the state adult population). MDPHnet and BRFSS state-level estimates were similar: 9.4% versus 9.7% for diabetes, 10.0% versus 12.0% for asthma, 13.5% versus 14.7% for smoking, 26.3% versus 29.6% for hypertension, and 22.8% versus 23.8% for obesity. Correlation coefficients for MDPHnet versus BRFSS small-area estimates ranged from 0.890 for diabetes to 0.646 for obesity. Conclusions. Chronic disease surveillance using electronic health record data is feasible and generates estimates comparable with BRFSS state and small-area estimates.

Published: July 2017

Objectives. To explore the independent associations of sedentary behavior and physical activity with telomere length among Chinese adults. Methods. Data on total time of sedentary behavior, screen-based sedentary behavior (including television watching and computer or phone use), moderate to vigorous physical activity, and dietary intake of 518 adults in Chengdu, Guizhou, and Xiamen in China (54.25% women) aged 20 to 70 years were obtained between 2013 and 2015 through questionnaires. Height, weight, and waist circumference were measured to calculate body mass index and percentage of body fat. Telomere length was measured through Southern blot technique. Results. Television watching was inversely related to adjusted telomere length (−71.75 base pair; SE = 34.40; P  = .04). Furthermore, a similar trend between telomere length and television watching was found in the group aged 20 to 40 years after adjusting for all covariates. Adults aged 20 to 40 years in the highest tertile of daily time spent on watching television had 4.0% shorter telomere length than adults in the lowest tertile (P = .03). Conclusions. Although the association is modest, television watching is inversely related to telomere length among Chinese adults, warranting further investigation in large prospective studies.

Objectives. To test the effectiveness of a preclinical, telephone-based patient navigation intervention to encourage colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among older Black men. Methods. We conducted a 3-parallel-arm, randomized trial among 731 self-identified Black men recruited at barbershops between 2010 and 2013 in New York City. Participants had to be aged 50 years or older, not be up-to-date on CRC screening, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, and have a working telephone. We randomized participants to 1 of 3 groups: (1) patient navigation by a community health worker for CRC screening (PN), (2) motivational interviewing for blood pressure control by a trained counselor (MINT), or (3) both interventions (PLUS). We assessed CRC screening completion at 6-month follow-up. Results. Intent-to-treat analysis revealed that participants in the navigation interventions were significantly more likely than those in the MINT-only group to be screened for CRC during the 6-month study period (17.5% of participants in PN, 17.8% in PLUS, 8.4% in MINT; P < .01). Conclusions. Telephone-based preclinical patient navigation has the potential to be effective for older Black men. Our results indicate the importance of community-based health interventions for improving health among minority men.

Objectives. To examine patterns of smokeless tobacco (SLT) use, by type, in wave 1 (2013–2014) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study in the United States. Methods. We analyzed data from 32 320 adults (aged ≥ 18 years) to assess the use of pouched snus and other SLT products (loose snus, moist snuff, dip, spit, and chewing tobacco). Results. Overall, SLT use was most common among men, younger adults, non-Hispanic Whites, and nonurban respondents. Pouched snus users were more likely to report nondaily and polytobacco use than users of other SLT products. Respondents who used SLT some days were more likely to be current established cigarette smokers than those who used SLT every day (57.9% vs 20.2%). Furthermore, current established smokers who used SLT some days were more likely to smoke every day and had a higher median number of cigarettes smoked per day than smokers who used SLT every day. Conclusions. Polytobacco use, especially cigarette smoking, is common among SLT users. Pouched snus users are more likely to report nondaily snus use and polytobacco use than users of other SLT products.
