Published: May 2024

The purpose of the work. The article describes and analyses the achievements of such figures as S. Desnitsky, M. Bałudjanski, V. Karazin in the process of formation and development of Ukrainian economic thought in the period of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is analysed that the most significant influence on the system of economic views of these Ukrainian researchers was made by the concepts of representatives of classical political economy. Methodology. To achieve this goal, both general scientific and special methods of scientific cognition were used, in particular scientific abstraction, induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis – to study the sources, provisions and hypotheses expressed by S. Desnіtsky, M. Bałudjanski, V. Karazin, formed under the influence of the views of the classic of political economy A. Smith. Results. The article analyses the views and ideas of S. Desnіtsky, M. Bałudjanski, and V. Karazin in historical, evolutionary, theoretical and practical aspects. It is determined that the economic views of these Ukrainian scholars are mainly based on the theoretical foundations of classical political economy, in particular, on the concepts of A. Smith. Scientific novelty. It is substantiated that S. Desnіtsky's research was focused on the category of "property" and the analysis of property relations; M. Bałudjanski in his manuscripts approved the conceptual apparatus of political economy, studying the market mechanism, situation and competition in the field of agricultural production; V. Karazin, being a supporter of the labour theory of value, developed an agricultural programme, implemented his projects and inventions in agriculture, developing also Ukrainian technical thought. Practical Significance. The study found that theoretical scholars served the interests of resource owners, associated wealth with virtue, justified the existence of landowners and their exploitation of hired labour, and saw laziness, disinterest in labour results, and the inability to organise their work responsibly and reasonably as the main cause of poverty. For example, M. Bałudjanski and V. Karazin saw the cause of poverty of the common people of Ukraine in drunkenness and laziness, which led to moral and material impoverishment; they considered their main task to be to help wealthier peasants who had some starting capital; they received certain subventions from governments.

Its persistent global concern surrounding stems from its capability to induce foodborne illnesses. Unraveling the genetic characteristics of this pathogen stands as a pivotal step, shedding light on the intricate biology of and aiming to mitigate its prevalence. Within this context, our study aims to delve into the genomic traits and population structure of Mexican isolates derived from farm animals. We performed next-generation sequencing across 72 genomes. Genomic data was analyzed to determine virulence and antibiotic resistance markers. In addition, a phylogenetic tree and a spanning tree was constructed. The study revealed a diversity of 18 serovars linked to a singular ST, with prominent serovars being Oranienburg, Give, and Saintpaul. Across all isolates, an extensive array of virulence-related genes was identified. Interestingly, 95% of the isolates displayed exclusive resistance to aminoglycosides, while the remaining exhibited multidrug resistance to tetracycline and chloramphenicol. Notably, a substantial prevalence of prophages in the genomes was observed, accounting for 94% and totaling 183 sequences. The serovar Give stood out with the highest number of sequences, featuring Vibrio X29 and Escher RCS47 as the most prevalent phages. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the intricate world of , paving the way for enhanced understanding and targeted interventions.

The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates surgical site infections SSI is major contributor of healthcare associated infections (HAI). Multidrug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli are emerging pathogens. This study aimed to determine the magnitude of SSI and identify predominant pathogens with their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. It is a hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study including 2070 suspected SSI specimens from 25809 surgeries between 1July 2021 to 30 June 2023. Organisms’ identification and AST was done by both conventional and automated methods. Data was collected and analysed on MS-Excel sheet with various charts and tables. In our study SSI rate was 6.3%, much higher than previous study (2.83%) from this institution. SSI rate was highest in plastic surgery (8.2%). Major pathogens of SSI were Gram-negative bacilli e.g., (26.34%), (25.59%) and (74.69%) was predominant among Gram-positive cocci. Gram-negative bacilli including enterobacterales and non-fermenter and showed resistance to major classes of broad- spectrum antibiotics. Methicillin resistance (MRSA) was 43.9%, which indicates need to improve infection control practices. Our study showed significant higher proportion of SSI as compared to previous studies from the same institute with alarming number of isolated MDR Gram-negative bacilli. So, this study focusses the need of robust infection control practices and strict implementation of antimicrobial stewardship to overcome challenges of antimicrobial resistance.

Published: May 2024

Rickettsial infections are under-reported in India. The actual disease burden has been underestimated as non-specific serological tests are mostly used to diagnose these infections. The aim of this study was the detection of Rickettsia infections in clinical specimens by Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction.A study was established to analyse blood samples taken from pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) or undifferentiated fever cases. A total of 69 such patients, were referred/walked-in to our diagnostic centre, Indore, India between October 2021 and May 2023. The blood samples were collected in EDTA lavender (purple) top tube.Of the tested samples, 14 patients (20.3%) were positive for Rickettsia infection.Gender wise distribution revealed higher incidence (57%) of Rickettsial infections in male patients. Children were majorly infected (50% of cases); multiple infection was also noted in them, though severity was not high. Severe clinical manifestation including hospitalization was also noted in some patients. Few reports are available from India on molecular diagnosis of Rickettsia infection. Early-stage molecular diagnosis will help to stave off and prevent serious complications.

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an educational approach that enhances student engagement through individual assessments and collaborative group work. It is an effective and structured form of small group learning adaptable to large classroom settings. TBL ensures student accountability through various stages, including pre-class preparation, readiness assurance tests, problem-solving exercises, and immediate feedback. This study aims to implement and assess the efficacy of the TBL strategy among MBBS students in a large group teaching environment. The pilot study adopted a TBL approach, involving steps such as pre-class preparation with PDF materials and a WhatsApp video guide issued a week prior, individual and team readiness assurance tests (iRAT and tRAT) conducted via Google Forms and hard copy MCQs, clarification sessions on MCQs and relevant medical topics, and collaborative learning through case scenarios related to Type 2 diabetes. Discussions and conclusions were facilitated by the faculty, followed by immediate and scheduled feedback using Google Forms. Statistical analysis was performed using an unpaired t-test to compare iRAT and tRAT scores. The study gathered 133 responses from the first batch and 140 from the second batch of first year MBBS students. The analysis revealed significant improvements in scores from iRAT to tRAT, indicating the effectiveness of TBL in enhancing student learning outcomes. Feedback from the students showed high levels of engagement and interest in the learning process, with over 98% in both batches finding the TBL approach interesting and interactive. The findings suggest that TBL is a valuable and effective educational strategy that improves learning outcomes and fosters collaborative learning among students.

Authors: Yang Kyung Ran , Hong Min-Ho 
Published: May 2024

Surface treatment of implants facilitates osseointegration, with nanostructured surfaces exhibiting accelerated peri-implant bone regeneration. This study compared bone-to-implant contact (BIC) in implants with hydroxyapatite (HA), sand-blasted and acid-etched (SLA), and SLA with calcium (Ca)-coated (XPEED®) surfaces. Seventy-five disk-shaped grade 4 Ti specimens divided into three groups were prepared, with 16 implants per group tested in New Zealand white rabbits. Surface characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), digital microscopy, and a contact angle analyzer. Cell viability, proliferation, and adhesion were assessed using MC3T3-E1 cells. Apatite formation was evaluated using modified simulated body fluid (m-SBF) incubation. After 4 weeks of healing, the outcomes reviewed were BIC, bone area (BA), removal torque tests, and histomorphometric evaluation. Microstructure analysis revealed irregular pores across all groups, with the XPEED group exhibiting a nanostructured Ca-coated surface. Surface characterization showed a crystalline CaTiO3 layer on XPEED surfaces, with evenly distributed Ca penetrating the implants. All surfaces provided excellent environments for cell growth. The XPEED and SLA groups showed significantly higher cell density and viability with superior osseointegration than HA (p &amp;lt; 0.05); XPEED exhibited the highest absorbance values. Thus, XPEED surface treatment improved implant performance, biocompatibility, stability, and osseointegration.

The frigate tuna, Auxis thazard forms a coastal fishery in India throughout the year. Duringthe period 2015-2020, with an annual average catch of 6,387 t, the resource formed 7.14%of the total tuna catch of the country. Andhra Pradesh (1,131 t) recorded the maximumlandings followed by Karnataka (968 t) and Tamil Nadu (701 t). In West Bengal and Odisha,A. thazard formed more than 60% of the total tunas landed. Mature fishes dominated inJanuary-March. Size at first maturity was 31.9 cm TL. Size (fork length) was in the range22.8-68 cm and the estimated length-weight relationship was log W = 0.000049 + 3.1740log L (n = 832, r2= 0.93) (95% CI). The von Bertalanffy growth equation derived was: Lt = 72.6[1 - e -0.73 (t + 0.063)]. The growth performance index was 3.585 and the length at first capture wasestimated at 33.35 cm. The estimated natural mortality, fishing mortality and total mortalitywere 1.17, 1.21 and 2.38 respectively; the exploitation rate was 0.508. Emax estimated was0.735, which is higher than the present levels, indicating scope for further exploitation. Theprediction analysis for MSY, F/Fmsy and B/Bmsy showed the current exploitation is sustainable,indicating scope for increasing catch with increased effort.

Regional fisheries for cobia (Rachycentron canadum) along the Indian coast was assessedusing length-based stock status indicators. Drift gill nets-cum-hook and line fisheries landedbigger sized cobia as bycatch while multi-day mid-water trawls landed juveniles. Dominantsize groups in the landings along the west coast were 40–160 cm and 60-120 cm on theeast coast. Gear selectivity operating at regional levels because of the multi-gear fisheriesand fishing grounds of the Indian EEZ affects the size distribution of fish caught. Comparedto drift gill net-cum-hooks and line units targeting large pelagics in deeper waters, smallersize groups of cobia dominated as bycatch in trawls. The length at first capture (Lc50) beingsmaller than the estimated length at first maturity of about 60 cm, implementing size-basedoutput controls such as Minimum Legal Size (MLS) is suggested. The indicators for fishingmortality rates (Fmax) on the cobia stocks were on the higher side in certain locations only,but being part of the multi-species bycatch mix, there is little scope to introduce fishinggear regulations solely for cobia. However, the option of short-term, targeted spatiotemporaleffort regulations with fishers’ participation can be explored, based on the stockassessments made at local or regional levels.

The Bombayduck Harpadon nehereus (Hamilton, 1822) is a common species and majorcontributor to the fishery in the northern Arabian Sea. The biology of H. nehereus, exploitedby set bagnets (SBN, dol netters) and trawlers from the northern Arabian Sea coast of India(Gujarat and Maharashtra) was investigated during 2014 to 2019. Fishes with a size rangeof 30-408 mm mainly contributed to the fish landing. The sex ratio (male: female) was 1:1.5.Length at maturity (Lm) for females was estimated at 207 mm TL. Mature ovaries containedova of all maturity stages indicating the species to be a continuous spawner. The absolutefecundity ranged from 23,444 to 1,34,432 eggs per fish and relative fecundity ranged from235-430 eggs g-1. The gonadosomatic index and monthly maturity stages suggested thatH. nehereus is a continuous spawner with peaks occurring from February to April. The ‘b’value in the length-weight relationship was 3.31 showing a positive allometric growth. Thediet analysis showed H. nehereus to be a highly carnivorous predator which fed mainly oncrustaceans (Index of Relative Importance, IRI = 82.7%) followed by teleosts (17.3%). Thepresent article discusses the biology of H. nehereus in the north-eastern Arabian Sea.

Abstract

Background/OBJECTIVES: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has multi-potential factors for malnutrition as its surgical boundary covers organs with digestive juices. The utility of supplemental parental nutrition (PN) is controversial for patients underwent PD. This study aimed to investigate clinical effect of using routine supplemental-PN after PD.SUBJECTS/Methods: From 2014 to 2020, 927 patients undergoing PD in Samsung Medical Center were divided into two groups, those who used routine supplemental-PN (n = 161) and those who did not (n = 766) and analyzed retrospectively. The routine supplemental-PN was administered to patients by using PN with oral feeding together, started after immediate postoperative 1–3 days without interruption. A subgroup analysis was performed for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and sarcopenia.Results Regarding postoperative complications, the supplemental-PN group had significantly higher rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) (p < 0.001) and delayed gastric emptying (p = 0.012) than the non-PN group. The supplemental-PN group had similar hospital stay to the non-PN group (p = 0.547). In subgroup analysis for those with DM (n = 252), the supplemental-PN group had significantly higher postoperative major complications (37.5 vs. 20.6%, p = 0.016), especially POPF (27.1 vs. 10.8%, p = 0.006), than the non-PN group. For sarcopenic patients (n = 89), the supplemental-PN group had significantly longer hospital stay than the non-PN group (13.7 days vs. 11.4 days, p = 0.040).Conclusion In terms of postoperative complications, routine use of supplemental-PN after PD is not beneficial for patients. Especially with DM and sarcopenia, its use needs caution.
