Published: September 2024

ObjectiveThe purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigates whether transcranial direct current stimulation applied during physical training increases muscle strength in comparison with sham tDCS combined with physical training.MethodsRandomized controlled trials of the effects of tDCS combined physical training intervention on muscle strength and cortical excitability were collected by searching Web of Science, Pubmed, EBSCO, CNKI. The retrieval date ends in April 2024. 11 randomized controlled trials are finally included. The total sample size of the study is 338. The experimental group was subjected to tDCS combined with physical training intervention, and the control group was physical training combined with sham tDCS intervention.ResultsThere is a significant increase in maximal strength (SMD = 0.38; 95% CI: 0.09, 0.67; p = 0.01) and lower limb explosive strength (MD = 2.90; 95% CI: 1.06, 4.74; p = 0.002) when physical training was performed with tDCS, but not following physical training combined with sham tDCS. Subgroup analysis of the subject population showed an increase in muscle strength in those with training experience following tDCS combined with physical training (SMD = 0.39; 95% CI: 0.08, 0.70; p = 0.01), but not for those without training experience (SMD = 0.29; 95% CI: −0.06, 0.63; p = 0.10). Motor evoked potential (MEP) wave amplitude increased significantly following physical training with tDCS (SMD = 0.71; 95% CI: 0.18, 1.24; p = 0.008), but was not different between groups (SMD = 0.16; 95% CI: −0.33, 0.65; p = 0.52).ConclusionstDCS combined with physical training intervention can improve muscle strength, lower limb explosive strength and cerebral cortex excitability. Compared to tDCS combined with training of small muscle groups, tDCS combined with training of large muscle groups was more effective in improving muscle strength. Muscle strength was more likely to improve after tDCS combined with physical training in people with physical training experience compared with people without physical training experience. The combination of tDCS with physical training intervention and the sham-tDCS with physical training intervention both increased cortical excitability.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/, PROSPERO, identifier (CRD42024550454).

Published: September 2024

The research examines the essential approaches to the concept of management responsibility in public administration, which implies the true commitment of managers and employees to use public funds in the correct way in their daily work. Through a theoretical analysis of the relevant literature and key drivers of reforms and an empirical assessment of the quality of the established system of financial management and control through the Consolidated Annual Report on the State of Internal Financial Control in the Public Sector, the goal work is to point out that there are significant needs to improve management in institutions of higher education in Serbia, based on report the findings and recommendations of the state audit institution. The framework of public policies for higher education in Serbia in the context of higher education reforms does not only refer to their basic activity, but also integrity, transparency and responsibility in the management of the funds at their disposal, performance-based financing and quality assurance, which contributes to the effective functioning of the market and economic growing. Modest progress in this sense indicates that these institutions have not fully established the basis for good governance. The findings of the research sample are the higher education institutions that were subject to the control of the state audit institution in the previous two years, and through the analysis, the authors of this work include recommendations of audit related on management responsibility in relation to the integrative components of financial management and control. The concluding considerations point to a fundamental misunderstanding of the holders of management functions of the purpose and role of internal control mechanisms in the management system, which is a prerequisite both for the implementation of legal regulations and for effective business operations.

Современная эпизоотическая ситуация по бешенству животных на территории Российской Федерации является крайне напряжённой. Приведён анализ эпизоотического проявления рабической инфекции в Ярославской области за 2018–2022 годы. На территории региона изучена динамика инфицированности животных, определён видовой состав животных, заболевших бешенством. Установлено, что динамика эпизоотического процесса в области имеет неравномерное распределение, за последние годы наблюдается постепенное общее снижение случаев заболевания бешенством с сохранением волнообразного процесса. Максимальные значения определены в 2020 году в Борисоглебском (16 случаев), Ярославском (11 случаев) и Гаврилов-Ямском (10 случаев) муниципальных районах Ярославской области. Основным источником и распространителем заболевания являются дикие плотоядные животные, на долю которых приходится от 60 до 91%. За период 2018–2022 годы на территории Ярославской области выявлено 122 случая бешенства у животных, из них 62 случая у енотовидных собак и 27 – у лис, на долю которых среди заболевших приходится 50,8 и 22,1% соответственно. Даны рекомендации проводить вакцинацию диких плотоядных животных в тех же объёмах без снижения количества и кратности раскладываемой вакцины, а владельцам домашних животных вакцинировать своих питомцев от бешенства в соответствии с графиком вакцинации.
The current epizootic situation for animal rabies on the territory of the Russian Federation is extremely tense. An analysis of the epizootic manifestation of rabies infection in the Yaroslavl region for 2018–2022 is given. On the territory of the region the dynamics of animal infection was studied, the species composition of animals with rabies was determined. It has been established that the dynamics of the epizootic process in the region has an uneven distribution, in recent years there has been a gradual general decrease in cases of rabies with the preservation of a wave-like process. The maximum values were determined in 2020 in Borisoglebskiy (16 cases), Yaroslavskiy (11 cases) and Gavrilov-Yamskiy (10 cases) municipal districts of the Yaroslavl region. The main source and spreader of the disease is wild carnivores, which account for 60 to 91%. For the period 2018–2022, 122 cases of rabies in animals were detected in the Yaroslavl region, of which 62 cases were in raccoon dogs and 27 in foxes, which accounted for 50.8 and 22.1% of cases, respectively. Recommendations are given to vaccinate wild carnivores in the same volumes without reducing the quantity and frequency of the distributed vaccine, and for pet owners to vaccinate their pets against rabies in accordance with the vaccination schedule.
Організаційно-правові аспекти охорони прав та законних інтересів учасників кримінального провадження
Authors: Мудрак Сергій 
Published: September 2024

У статті досліджено питання організаційно-правових аспектів охорони прав та законних інтересів суб’єктів кримінального процесу. Зазначено, що на сьогоднішній день одним із головних питань розвитку теперішнього суспільства нашої держави є питання взаємовідносин між державою та громадянином, що пов'язане з формуванням дієвих національних способів захисту прав, свобод і законних інтересів учасників кримінального провадження. У нашій державі права та свободи суб’єктів кримінального процесу визначають підґрунтя, що визначають статус особистості в демократичних країнах світу. Права і свободи вважаються природженими та невід'ємними для кожної людини. Однак в Україні у теперішній час відсутній будь-який аспект державної політики, який би не порушував права суб’єктів кримінального провадження у визначеній мірі, а саме, відносно гарантування реалізації закріплених прав.
Вказано, що нинішній правовий баланс соціальних відносин у нашій державі тісно пов'язаний із застосуванням правових засобів, що забезпечують державні гарантії для реалізації інтересів кожного суб'єкта права, незалежно від змін у суспільстві. Існування вказаних засобів правового впливу не відмежовується від інших явищ правового характеру, оскільки їх існування взаємопов'язане та взаємозумовлене. У національній правовій системі всі явища правового характеру досліджуються з точки зору їх функціонального призначення, причому ключовим фактором для правового засобу є його здатність у межах правового поля стати інструментом вирішення існуючих проблем.
Зроблено висновок, що ефективність правових гарантій прав, свобод та законних інтересів людини залежить насамперед від чинної Конституції та нормативно-правових актів, розвитку правових принципів, реалізації конституційного контролю, а також від того, як державні органи та громадські організації, відповідальні за забезпечення цих прав, виконують приписи законів.

Authors: Singh Riya , Bhatia Jagriti , Singh Rakendra , Kumar Arman , Kataria Riya 
Published: September 2024

Background: -Cardiovascular diseases, particularly myocardial infarction (MI), are a major global health concern, with a rising incidence among younger populations. MI is a result of inadequate oxygen supply to the heart, often exacerbated by thrombus formation in coronary arteries due to atherosclerotic plaque deposition. Risk factors include obesity, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and familial predisposition. Early detection and intervention are crucial for improving prognosis and reducing mortality rates. Treatment strategies include pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modifications, with lifestyle interventions promoting physical activity and dietary changes.

Aim- To determine the incidence and risk factors of Myocardial infarction among young adults.

Methodology- This study investigated the prevalence and causes of myocardial infarction (MI) among patients admitted to the Department of Medicine at Adesh Hospital, Bathinda, Punjab. The sample size was 130, with participants being patients aged 18 and above, exhibiting cardiac manifestations, and providing consent for study participation. Data collection involved interactions with MI patients and their relatives, recording demographic information, smoking, and presenting symptoms. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 28, with Chi square used for statistical significance. All data were collected after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee.

Result -The study involved 131 patients diagnosed with Myocardial Infarction (MI) at AIMSR, with 78.6% being males and a mean age of 56 ± 10.8 years. 15.2% of patients were young adults (<45 years). Risk factors included smoking, a positive family history of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and diabetes. Symptoms included chest pain, shortness of breath, and palpitations.

Conclusion- study emphasizes the rising incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) among young adults, attributing it to factors such as smoking, socioeconomic status, rural residency, and comorbid conditions. It advocates for lifestyle changes, smoking cessation initiatives, and better healthcare access to mitigate this burden. Additionally, it calls for larger-scale studies to confirm these findings and develop tailored interventions for preventing and managing MI in young individuals.

Published: September 2024

Background
According to Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis the seeds of adult non communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension and cancer are sown in foetal life. DERVAN cohort is a longitudinal study launched recently in the KOKAN region of Western Indian state of Maharashtra. It plans to recruit more than 1500 adolescents girls aged (16-18y) as well as their parents. At base line it plans to measure various analytes in the blood, saliva and urine which together with additional data such as body composition, cognition, and socioeconomics will provide the baseline health status of adolescent girls. Since we plan to follow the subjects systematically for next 20 years where more biological samples are expected to be collected. Hence the development of biorepository forms a critical component of our study. We have measured biochemical, nutritional (micronutrients), hormones, trace elements in adolescent girls from longitudinal DERVAN cohort and setup biorepository.
Methods: At base line 36 ml of blood, urine and saliva in fasting state are collected from girls. We are also collecting blood (20 ml), urine, saliva in random state from both the parents. In addition some analytes are measured immediately and remaining samples (30 aliquotes for girls, 12 aliquotes for each parent) are stored in -80oC freezer. All the samples are collected at research centre to ensure quality and longevity. External as well as internal quality control protocols are followed.Study recruitment began in June 2019. We have recruited 586 subjects upto March 2021. Bio repository has been setup for long term storage.
Conclusion: The protocol adopted by us has been found to be working smoothly and can guide many researchers working in resource limited settings.

Background: In the rural regions of Telangana State, many women are actively involved in the occupation of beedi rolling. Cigarette smoke either active or passive exerts deleterious effects on reproductive organs and function by means of both direct toxic influences, termed ovotoxicity, and the reduction of hormone secretion.
Methods: The study involved a cohort of 320 women employed as beedi rollers and 280 women with no occupational exposure to chemicals for comparison. Serum samples were used to estimate the levels of Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, luteinizing hormone, T3, T4 and TSH using Sandwich and competitive ELISA methods.
Conclusion: The findings of the current study unveiled compelling statistical significance in the levels of estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), T3 and T4. In conclusion, our study reveals a noteworthy correlation between beedi rolling and alterations in hormonal profiles of rural women in Telangana.

Authors: Mathew Nishanth A  , Steven Michael J  , Anusha Rao S  , Jaya Lakshmi P B  
Published: September 2024

Introduction:
Auditory deﬁciencies have profound implications for the development of communication abilities, social exchange, and cognitive skills. Although advances in technological instrumentation have decreased the age at which it is possible to detect auditory deﬁcits, an absence of electrophysiological or behavioural reaction to sound does not always reﬂect auditory loss in younger children.
Aim of the study:
To profile audiological findings of a child with auditory maturation delay associated with Chudley McCullough Syndrome post auditory stimulation.
Method:
An extensive audiological evaluation, comprising Behavioral Observation Audiometry, Immittance Audiometry, Oto- Acoustic emission, Auditory Brainstem Response, and Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials, was performed on a 6-month-old infant. After the audiological evaluation, the infant received auditory stimulation for two months. A comparable audiological assessment was conducted after auditory training.
Results:
The infant was diagnosed to have severe to profound hearing loss in both ears with noticeable cochlear microphonics in ABR on pre stimulation testing. As a result, he was recommended and had undergone auditory stimulation for two months. Audiological testing post auditory stimulation revealed significant improvements in auditory responses and noticeable betterment in auditory thresholds.
Conclusion:
Detailed audiological test battery is necessary in determining auditory maturation delay. Intensive auditory stimulation should be provided before concluding on the auditory management.

Published: September 2024

Background: The global health burden has surged due to a significant rise in anxiety and depression cases. In India, pandemic-related factors caused an increase in depression and anxiety levels. Various studies highlight the lifetime prevalence of these mental health disorders.
It is essential to identify and monitor depression and anxiety symptoms in individuals across age groups. This study aims to gain insight into anxiety and depression prevalence by utilizing Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to assess symptoms and their correlation with age and gender.
Methods:
A total of 136 individuals, both male and female, completed PHQ-9 and GAD-7 in a self-report format. Data was collected and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Charts and graphs aided data interpretation.
Conclusion:
Results revealed correlations between age and anxiety or depression severity. Younger age groups consistently reported higher symptom levels than older individuals. Tailored mental health interventions considering age and gender dynamics are crucial, like severe symptom intervention for ages '18-24,' addressing severe anxiety and depression in the '25-44' group, and implementing prevention initiatives for the '45 and above' group.
