Authors: Budnyk Olena , Kondur Oksana 
Published: June 2017

The article highlights the results of diagnosis of forming moral and aesthetic component of personal and professional readiness of teachers to educational activities in school. The study of moral and aesthetic readiness of students was conveyed using the method of diagnosis empathetic abilities (V. Boyko), the author's methods of detection of readiness for activities of actional moral and aesthetic sense and personal predisposition to conflict behavior (test K. Thomas). The experiment proved that future teachers have had developed moral ideals and spiritual values; and formed aesthetic consciousness (feelings, attitudes, tastes, needs, feelings) and motivation and are ready for active transformative activities in the system of interpersonal communication. The majority of future teachers who participated in the study display a lack of following formed skills and abilities: attention, perception and thinking focused on the state, problems and behavior of another person; emotional sensitivity, the abilities to observe behavior of a partner, traits that promote openness, the ability to understand another person on the mutual basis due to emotional flexibility and the ability to accept other behaviour. This may adversely affect their future professional activities, including working with neglected pupils and their parents. The author considers that a high level of moral consciousness of a teacher being a unity of rational and sensual aspects to facilitate moral and aesthetic relations in professional collaboration

Background: Poor responders impose a great challenge to ART clinicians. Research to improve their pregnancy rate is going on. This study was conducted to analyze the effect of growth hormone in poor responders in ART.Methods: This study was done from January 2015 to December 2015. It was a retrospective, single centre, cohort study in which 36 poor responders were selected and allotted into group A (18) with growth hormone and group B (18) without growth hormone. High dose of gonadotrophins was used for ovarian stimulation and antagonist protocol was followed in all patients. Group A received 4 IU of growth hormone along with usual treatment from day 2 till ovulation trigger with HCG injection, group B usual protocol.Results: Statistical analysis was done with independent T test, and p value <0.05 was considered significant. Higher number of mature oocytes and pregnancy rates were observed in growth hormone group. Number of MII oocytes was 5.8, on an average in group A and 3.7 in group B, the difference was statistically significant (p 0.0000001). Clinical pregnancy rates were 27.7% in group A and 16.6% in group B, statistical significance (p 0.02).Conclusions: Addition of growth hormone shows increase in number of oocytes retrieved and pregnancy rates in poor responders in ART patients.

Published: June 2017

Background: The employment rate of mothers has increased worldwide in recent years. So, there is concern about possible effects of work related risk factors and pregnancy outcome in working women. As a growing percentage of women work outside home before, during, and after pregnancy in most countries and its related occupational factors deserve to be studied in relation to pregnancy outcomes. To identify the effect of work place stress, on pregnancy and perinatal outcome.Methods: 100 pregnant working women, who were visiting the antenatal care unit and labour room taken into study. They were interviewed using predesigned questionnaire, Physical activity questionnaire, Workplace Stress Survey. Statistical analysis performed using SPSS version 21.Results: Mean age was 27yrs, with hrs of working/wk of 47hrs, 41 women studied were working in garment factories,46% of them had complications during their antenatal period, 56% of them were primigravidas. Among studied working conditions, working more than 40 hours/ week was significantly associated with high rates of preterm delivery (12%) and Small for gestational age (SGA) (22%) was significantly increased with high work stress.Conclusions: Among the studied, work conditions for working women working more than 40 hours/week, social stress index were found to be a significant risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. General practice physical activity (GPPA) 80% of both active and moderately active women had some problems. In work place stress survey (WSS), 100% of women encountering problems at work place had problems during their pregnancy, 72% of women who handled stress moderately had problems. Therefore, as long as the health of the pregnant woman permits her to continue work during pregnancy that is not stressful or overloading for her, no adverse effect on pregnancy outcomes is expected.

Authors: Verma Vandana , Kanti Vaibhav , Shree Pragya 
Published: June 2017

Background: The term delivery is defined as that occurring between 259 and 294 days of pregnancy from the last menstrual period. If the pregnancy exceeds this period, it is called as post term pregnancy. Our center is in rural area where most of the patients are unbooked or even booked patients are also loss of follow up. So, this study was done to know the incidence of prolonged pregnancy and maternal and fetal outcome in case of prolonged pregnancy in our rural population.Methods: This study was a retrospective observational study for 1 year, to analyze the maternal and fetal outcome of post term pregnancies. Data was collected from hospital record and analysed.Results: Out of 5210 total deliveries 1.49 % were beyond 42 wks. 57.69 % patients delivered vaginally whereas 42.3 % patients needed cesarean section. 6.41 % neonates developed meconium aspiration syndrome and 15.38 % of neonates needed NICU admission for different indications.Conclusions: This study concluded that prolonged pregnancy is associated with adverse outcomes like fetal distress, meconium aspiration syndrome and more neonatal ICU admissions. The outcome of prolonged pregnancy can be improved by proper counselling for follow up during pregnancy and proper monitoring and appropriate management during labour.

Authors: Kakoty Sneha , Baruah Tridip Dutta , Babu C. P. Ganesh 
Published: June 2017

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a sensitive and specific and yet an economically effective technique for diagnosis of salivary gland lesions. FNAC of salivary glands has achieved a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of salivary gland lesions since its induction by Stewart et al in 1933. However, it has always been under scrutiny when compared to histopathology. Histopathology of salivary gland lesions is still the final method to establish diagnosis and predicting prognosis in these lesions.1Methods: A prospective observational study of 50 patients with salivary gland lesions was done at Gauhati Medical College and hospital from June 2011 to May 2012. 39 patients underwent histopathological confirmation. Cases with histopathological correlation were included in calculating diagnostic accuracy. The cytological findings were correlated with that of the histopathological diagnosis to obtain the accuracy of the cytological diagnosis. The parameters of diagnostic validity of the cytological technique in terms of sensitivity, specificity and predictive value were evaluated.Results: Study population included patients of age group ranging from 13-70 years with median age group being 31-40 years (30%). 54% of the affected patients were male with the parotid being the most commonly involved gland (62%). Neoplastic lesions constituted the major bulk of the lesions (39 cases, 78%) with benign tumours constituting 54%. The most commonly involved benign neoplastic lesion was pleomorphic adenoma (22cases, 44%). Among the non-neoplastic lesions (22%), the acute sialadenitis was frequently noted. Histopathological correlations were available in 39 cases with 11 cases being the malignant lesions. The acute sialadenitis lesions did not undergo histological examination. 28 cases of non-malignant lesions underwent the histological confirmation. In the present study, the specificity and the sensitivity were found to be 96.42% and 90.91% respectively. The predictive value of salivary gland cytology was 90.91% and diagnostic accuracy was 94.87%.Conclusions: Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology is thus a safe, reliable, quick, convenient and accurate method of diagnosis and should be considered as one of the first line of investigations in the evaluation of salivary gland lesions.

Published: June 2017

Background: Kidneys perform the important function of excreting nitrogenous waste products and regulating the volume and composition of body fluids. Malnutrition is common phenomenon in maintenance dialysis patients and risk factor for poor quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality. An association of low albumin levels with increased mortality and morbidity in hemodialysis patients has been hypothesized. Present study aims to go through nutritional status of CKD patients in our institute and their relation to disease or dialysis outcome.Methods: Study is conducted on 100 CKD patients on haemodialysis admitted in various medical wards of the Mc Gann hospital attached to Shimoga institute of medical sciences, Shimoga, Karnataka, India. From August 1st, 2016 to April 30th, 2017 detailed history was taken in all the patients and a thorough physical examination was done. Dietary history was taken and blood is collected for analysis of Hb, blood urea, SR electrolyte, serum calcium, phosphorus, serum albumin, cholesterol, creatinine and CRP. BMI is calculated in all patients.Results: There were 60 males and 40 females. Average age is 46±3.6 years. Most of these patients belong to the age group of 41-50 years (37%). According to WHO BMI classification 55% had BMI between 18.5 to 24.9. 17% less than 18.5. 13% more than 30BMI. Blood urea, serum creatinine was elevated as expected. Mean Hb is 8.21±2.57 gm/dl. Serum albumin is lower mean being 2.66±1.86 gm/dl. CRP elevated 16.5±2.36. low calcium is also seen.Conclusions: The malnutrition in CKD is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates. Despite the better understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of uremic malnutrition and the improvements made in nutritional support, the nutritional condition of CKD and ESRD patients remains a significant cause for concern. Multimodal therapeutic strategies should be considered. Present study showed elevated prevalence of malnutrition in HD subjects. The nutritional status in patients on HD needs more attention. The role of nutrition in the management of CKD is important and needs to be further researched and newer guidelines are need of the hour.

Published: June 2017

Background: Health insurance is a social security system that guarantees the provision of needed health services to persons on the payment of token contributions at regular intervals. The objective of the survey was to determine knowledge, practice and willingness of households in Nigerian Capital City to pay and participate in Community Health Insurance Scheme.Materials and Methods: This descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was carried out using the multistage cluster sampling technique to obtain data from 300 selected household heads or main financial decision makers. The data was analyzed using EPI-INFO software package. Statistical significance of p < 0.05 and confidence limit of 95% was used.Results: The major findings showed that the level of awareness (13%) concerning Community Health Insurance (CHI) was found to be very low among the respondents. The general principles of CHI were also poorly understood by the respondents. Attitude to the programme was positive as many showed interest in participating and enrolling themselves (97.0%), some family members (96.3%) and entire family members (90.3%). Borrowing money to settle medical bills in this study has occurred in 30% of instances. Majority of respondents were willing to pay premiums ranging from N450 (96.6%) to N1200 (72.5%) for simple packages that do not include surgery and hospitalization.Conclusions: The community members were willing to participate and enrol if the programme is brought to them. There is a need to adequately subsidize the premiums that respondents were willing to pay in order to meet up with the cost of treatment.Key Words: Willingness, Participate, Community Health Insurance.
Estimating evapotranspiration using the complementary relationship and the Budyko framework
Authors: Kim Homin , Kaluarachchi Jagath J. 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Several models have been developed to estimate evapotranspiration. Among those, the complementary relationship has been the subject of many recent studies because it relies on meteorological data only. Recently, the modified Granger and Gray (GG) model showed its applicability across 34 diverse global sites. While the modified GG model showed better performances compared to the recently published studies, it can be improved for dry conditions and the relative evaporation parameter in the original GG model needs to be further investigated. This parameter was empirically derived from limited data from wet environments in Canada – a possible reason for decreasing performance with dry conditions. This study proposed a refined GG model to overcome the limitation using the Budyko framework and vegetation cover to describe relative evaporation. This study used 75 eddy covariance sites in the USA from AmeriFlux, representing 36 dry and 39 wet sites. The proposed model produced better results with decreasing monthly mean root mean square error of about 30% for dry sites and 15% for wet sites compared to the modified GG model. The proposed model in this study maintains the characteristics of the Budyko framework and the complementary relationship and produced improved evapotranspiration estimates under dry conditions.
Autonomous intake selection optimisation model for a dual source drinking water treatment plant
Authors: Bertone E. , O'Halloran K. , Bartkow M. , Mann K. 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The Mudgeeraba drinking water treatment plant, in Southeast Queensland, Australia, can withdraw raw water from two different reservoirs: the smaller Little Nerang dam (LND) by gravity, and the larger Advancetown Lake, through the use of pumps. Selecting the optimal intake is based on water quality and operators' experience; however, there is potential to optimise this process. In this study, a comprehensive hybrid (data-driven, chemical, and mathematical) intake optimisation model was developed, which firstly predicts the chemicals dosages, and then the total (chemicals and pumping) costs based on the water quality at different depths of the two reservoirs, thus identifying the cheapest option. A second data-driven, probabilistic model then forecasts the volume of the smaller LND 6 weeks ahead in order to minimise the depletion and spill risks. This is important in case the first model identifies this reservoir as the optimal intake solution, but this could lead in the long term to depletion and full reliance on the electricity-dependent Advancetown Lake. Both models were validated and proved to be accurate, and with the potential for substantial monetary savings for the water utility.

Published: June 2017

Background and objectives
Dose-dependent clearing of podocyte globotriaosylceramide has previously been shown in patients with classic Fabry disease treated with enzyme replacement. Our study evaluates the dose-dependent effects of agalsidase therapy in serial kidney biopsies of patients treated for up to 14 years.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
Twenty patients with classic Fabry disease (12 men) started enzyme replacement therapy at a median age of 21 (range =7–62) years old. Agalsidase-α or -β was prescribed for a median of 9.4 (range =5–14) years. The lower fixed dose group received agalsidase 0.2 mg/kg every other week throughout the follow-up period. The higher dose group received a range of agalsidase doses (0.2–1.0 mg/kg every other week). Dose changes were made due to disease progression, suboptimal effect, or agalsidase-β shortage. Serial kidney biopsies were performed along with clinical assessment and biomarkers and scored according to recommendations from the International Study Group of Fabry Nephropathy.

Results
No statistical differences were found in baseline or final GFR or albuminuria. Kidney biopsies showed significant reduction of podocyte globotriaosylceramide in both the lower fixed dose group (−1.39 [SD=1.04]; P=0.004) and the higher dose group (−3.16 [SD=2.39]; P=0.002). Podocyte globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) reduction correlated with cumulative agalsidase dose (r=0.69; P=0.001). Arterial/arteriolar intima Gb3 cleared significantly in the higher dose group, all seven patients with baseline intimal Gb3 cleared the intima, one patient gained intimal Gb3 inclusions (P=0.03), and medial Gb3 did not change statistically in either group. Residual plasma globotriaosylsphingosine levels remained higher in the lower fixed dose group (20.1 nmol/L [SD=11.9]) compared with the higher dose group (10.4 nmol/L [SD=8.4]) and correlated with cumulative agalsidase dose in men (r=0.71; P=0.01).

Conclusions
Reduction of podocyte globotriaosylceramide was found in patients with classic Fabry disease treated with long-term agalsidase on different dosing regimens, correlating with cumulative dose. Limited clearing of arterial/arteriolar globotriaosylceramide raises concerns regarding long-term vascular effects of current therapy. Residual plasma globotriaosylsphingosine correlated with cumulative dose in men.

Objective: This research aims to formulate syrup of coffee arabica extract with decaffeination process and stability test of caffein and chlorogenic acid in syrup of coffee arabica extract.Methods: An extraction was conducted by using ethanol 70% with soxhletation methods, and decaffeination process (using liquid-liquid extraction with ratio of etanol and dicloromethan was 1:1). Syrup formulations of coffee arabica extract was made with various concentrations of Na CMC (thickening agent) and sucralose (flavoring agent). The stability of syrup was evaluated through organoleptic, pH, viscosity, hedonic test, microbiological test and determinated concentration of caffeine and chlorogenic acid.Result: The result showed that the concentration of caffeine before and after decaffeination process were 3.377 + 0091% and 1.028 + 0.079%. While, chlorogenic acid were 4.159 + 0.163% and 3.019 + 0.138%. Microbiological test showed that no contamination in syrup of coffee arabica extract. The concentration of caffeine in syrup of coffee arabica extract was 1.070 + 0.150% and chlorogenic acid was 4.432 + 1.98 %.Conclusion: The concentration of caffeine before and after formulation process were 3.019 + 0.138% and 4.432 + 1.986%. The best formula of coffee arabica extract syrup was the formula that contains 5 mg/ml of coffee arabica extract, 1.5 mg/ml of Na CMC and 0.5 mg/ml of sucralose and no contamination in syrup of coffee arabica extract. Caffeine content would decrease after the decaffeination process.
