Geographic atrophy (GA) is the main reason of blindness in people above 60 years. During this study, the efficacy and safety of two different combinations including Investigational product 1 (IP-1) combination of Vitamin C, Copper, Lutein, Zinc, Zeaxanthin, and Vitamin E vs Investigational product (IP-2) combination of Lutein (which contains Zeaxanthin), L-Glutathione and Astaxanthin was compared in for the indication of GA. On day 30, 180, and 365 all the recruited clinical trial subjects were required to visit the clinical trial site, with day 0 serving as the baseline visit. Patients assigned to IP-1 were categorized as group C patients, whereas those assigned to IP-2 were categorized as group D patients. Visual acuity (VA), vision-related quality of life (VRQOL), and the vision impairment questionnaire (VIQ) were used as efficacy assessment measures. Based on the patients' reported adverse events, a safety assessment was done.Statistically significant increase was not found in patients randomized to IP-1in VA (p=0.6229) and VRQOL (p=0.1772) and no statistically significant reduction in VIQ score (p = 0.2503). In patients randomized to IP-2, there was statistically significant increase in VA (p&#60;0.0001), statistically significant reduction in VRQOL (p=0.0036) and no significant increase in VIQ (p=0.5993). In both groups there was statistically significant difference in VA (p=0.0134) and VRQOL (p=0.0045) and no statistically significant difference in VIQ (p=0.2787). IP-1 was more effective than IP-2 in terms of maintaining VA (p=0.0134) and VRQOL (p=0.0045), however there was no statistically significant difference in the effectiveness of the two products for VIQ (p=0.2787) in patients of GA.

Macular oedema is considered to be the primary reason for significant visual loss and impaired visual recovery in patients with retinal venous occlusion and rise in VEGF is strongly implicated in macular edema and as such there is a good rationale in treating these conditions with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factors. Aim of this study was to assess the effect of anti-VEGF (Bevacizumab) on retinal venous occlusive disease with macular edema.This was prospective open label hospital based interventional study done from June 2021 to May 2022 in fifty eyes of fifty patients diagnosed with macular edema secondary to retinal venous occlusion and Snellen’s visual acuity at presentation of less than 6/12 were included in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The results shows statistically significant improvement in mean central macular thickness and mean Snellen’s visual acuity at the end of 12 months and factors like Hypertension, Diabetes mellitus, Dyslipidemia and smoking are found to be highly associated with retinal venous occlusive diseases. The intravitreal anti-VEGF (Bevacizumab) has been found to be effective in improving the macular edema and visual acuity in the study population with retinal venous occlusive diseases to a statistically significant level and that it was more pronounced in cases of BRVO, at the completion of the study period.
Herpetic keratitis with new characterisations - A unique case series highlighting punched-out ulcer margin with lamellar cleavage
Authors: Roy Parthasarathi , Nag Sarbaraj 
Published: December 2023

Although HSV keratitis is one of the leading infectious causes of blindness world-wide, its misdiagnosis is not infrequent in clinical practise. We present here six eyes of five cases, all of which were initially misdiagnosed as bacterial / fungal ulcers. All these ulcers had some characteristics in common like, overt/ impending sloughing ulcer with punched out margin and clear-cut lamella planar separation. To the best of our knowledge these characterisations of HSV keratitis were not discussed earlier in literature. Diagnosis rested on clinical findings and response to antiviral therapy. A possible pathophysiology based on anatomical distribution of corneal nerves was discussed. Placement of this distinct group of ulcers in the classification of infective HSK, between dendritic, geographical, punctate ulcers at one end of the spectrum and neurotrophic ulcers at the other, and named as 'neuropathic ulcers' is hereby suggested.: Apart from dendritic, geographical, punctate ulcers at one end of the spectrum and neurotrophic ulcers at the other, there seemed to be another distinct group of herpetic ulcers in between. This new group was characterised by sloughing of that area of the cornea, which was innervated by the HSV infected corneal nerve. The process of sloughing might be aggressive or slow and seemed to progress in an orderly fashion. The area of cornea supplied by the affected nerve was separated from normal cornea by a punched-out border of demarcation followed by lamellar cleavage (separation) following the architecture of lamella- planar distribution of the affected corneal nerve. The lamellar separation could be demonstrated by the pooling of fluorescein dye in the cleaved inter lamellar space. Treatment with oral and local Acyclovir established healing.
To evaluate the predisposing factors of uterovaginal prolapse in women admitted in gynaecology ward
Authors: Gupta Bhavana 
Published: December 2023

: Uterovaginal prolapse is an abnormal protrusion or herniation of pelvic organs from its normal position in the pelvis, due to failure of anatomical support. The prevalence of uterovaginal prolapse is difficult to be determined because many women are asymptomatic and many are hesitant to discuss with family. It can be considered a silent epidemic. The cause of uterovaginal prolapse is multifactorial. The parity, mode of delivery, postmenopausal status, obesity are some of the factors affecting the severity. The condition is preventive and by counseling and care during antenatal and postnatal period, the prevalence of this condition can be curtailed and quality of life can be improved.To evaluate the predisposing factors of uterovaginal prolapse in women admitted to the gynaecology ward.: A retrospective study was done for a period of 2 years from January 2019 to January 2021 at Integral Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, a tertiary care hospital and medical college, Kursi Road, Dasauli, Lucknow. The women admitted in gynaecology ward with symptoms of mass per vagina were included in the study. The data was retrieved from medical records of the department. The case file as per inclusion and exclusion criteria was identified and included in the study. The information of risk factors was collected using patient proforma. The pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POPQ) approved by international continence society was used for categorizing uterovaginal prolapse. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20. Frequencies, percentage and mean computed to describe the variables of the study. The Chi-square test was used to compare variables. The statistical significance P&#60;0.05 was considered significant.: The period of study was from January 2019 to January 2021. During this period 11256 patients were seen at the gynaecological clinic, out of which 206 patients had uterovaginal prolapse. The prevalence was 1.8%. The multiparity, prolonged and difficult deliveries, delivery by untrained personnel, mismanaged third stage of labour involving injury to sphincters and vaginal tears are determinants of prolapse uterus. Further postmenopausal condition causing hypoestrogenic state causes weaking of ligaments, collagen and aggravates the condition. Hence, preventive measures like institutional delivery, delivery by trained personnel, menopausal clinics may help the target population.

Authors: Moskal Tomasz , Wiśniewski Piotr , Adamko Rastislav 
Published: December 2023

Artykuł traktuje o organach i organistach parafii Racławice (diecezja sandomierska) w okresie blisko 350 lat. Parafię erygowano na przełomie XIII/XIV wieku. Informacje źródłowe o wyposażeniu świątyni sięgają 1604 r., natomiast dopiero w 1650 r. mamy pierwszą wzmiankę o instrumencie muzycznym. W XVIII wieku wymieniane są organy 13-głosowe, które użytkowano do 1914 r. Po pożarze kościoła w czasie I wojny światowej korzystano z fisharmonii dwugłosowej, którą w 1955 r. zastąpiono organami 12-głosowymi. Podjęte przez ówczesnego proboszcza próby budowy nowych organów zakończyły się ostatecznie rozbudową dotychczasowego instrumentu. W 1975 r. zostały oddane do użytku organy 25-głosowe, które w 1998 r. przeniesiono do nowego kościoła. Informacje o organistach racławickich źródła podają od 1694 r. Z XIX wieku pochodzą szczegółowe wiadomości o warunkach mieszkaniowych i wynagrodzeniu organistów, a z XX wieku – o ich wykształceniu i zaangażowaniu w kulturę muzyczną parafii.

ЦИФРОВІЗАЦІЯ ПІСЛЯДИПЛОМНОЇ ОСВІТИ ЯК ВАЖЛИВА СКЛАДОВА ЦИФРОВОЇ ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ СУСПІЛЬСТВА
Authors: Дейнега Ірина 
Published: December 2023

Наразі людство постало перед фактом: знання оновлюються швидше, ніж відбувається зміна поколінь. Це зумовлює необхідність суттєвих змін у самій освіті. У сучасних умовах цифровізація післядипломної освіти є важливою складовою цифрової трансформації суспільства.
Метою наукової розвідки є узагальнення та аналіз напрямів цифровізації закладів післядипломної освіти як важливої складової цифрової трансформації суспільства. У досліджені наголошено на тому, що: цифровізація освіти має випереджувати цифровізацію всіх інших напрямів суспільної діяльності, оскільки саме тут формуються соціальні, психологічні, загальнокультурні і професійні підвалини для цифрової трансформації суспільства. Дослідження було проведено з використанням бібліографічного методу, методу структурно-наукового аналізу, порівняння і систематизації. Це дозволило визначити доцільність максимального використання в освітньому процесі дорослих сучасних цифрових технологій. Результат. Визначено, що післядипломну освіту слід розглядати не тільки як систему підвищення кваліфікації та перепідготовки дипломованих фахівців, а й як навчання протягом усього життя. У закладах післядипломної освіти варто повсюдно застосовувати цифрові технології: для управління та організації діяльності установи, для забезпечення освітнього процесу, для здійснення онлайн навчання; також, потрібно заохочувати як професорсько-викладацький персонал так і здобувачів освіти розвивати власну цифрову компетентність – яка є запорукою висококваліфікованого і конкурентоспроможного фахівця. Висновки. Цифрові технології полегшують життя, оптимізуючи рутинні процеси, нівелюючи кордони в освітньому просторі, що виходить за межі своєї країни та континенту. З іншого боку, процеси цифровізації підвищують вимоги до рівня фахової підготовки працівників, посилюючи конкуренцію на ринку праці. Постає нагальна потреба у висококваліфікованому фахівцеві, який пройшовши перепідготовку або підвищення кваліфікації, володітиме певними компетентностями, зможе ефективно, проявляючи активність, відповідальність, наполегливість і креативність, вирішувати завдання самостійно та (або) у складі команди. Отже, проблеми цифровізації післядипломної освіти мають бути розглянуті нарівні з цифровізацією вищої та середньої освіти і є важливою складовою цифрової трансформації суспільства в цілому
