Introduction: Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT), combines exercise and partial blood flow reduction with positive effects on the development of muscle hypertrophy. However, there is still a marked inconsistency in the effects it generates on the development of muscle power. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of upper extremity vascular occlusion training on muscle power in trained adults. Methods: Quasi-experimental study with control group in 12 subjects, mean age 28 (± 1.3) years. Purposive, non-probabilistic sampling. Divided into two groups; i) intervened group, which performed an BFRT protocol at 30% of 1 repetition maximum (1RM); ii) traditional training group, performed training at 70% of 1RM. Each group performed 12 bench press training sessions. Results: BFRT increased mean power (p = 0.01); concentric power (p = 0.04) and eccentric power (p = 0.01). Discussion: El EOV mostró mejoras en potencia muscular, lo que se condice por lo reportado en la literatura en otras poblaciones. Se debe considerar que la presión de oclusión debe ser adaptada para cada participante para evitar riesgos en la salud. Conclusion: 12 sessions of low-load muscular strength training with vascular occlusion improve the muscular power of the upper extremities in the bench press exercise in a sample of trained adults.

Background
Birds’ functional groups are useful for maintaining fundamental ecological processes, ecosystem services, and economic benefits. Negative consequences of loss of functional groups are substantial. Birds are usually found at a high trophic level in food webs and are relatively sensitive to environmental change.

Methods
The first surveillance bird study was carried out southeast of Ethiopia adjacent to Bale Mountain National Park aimed at investigating the composition, relative abundance, and distribution of Aves. Using regular systematic point transact sampling, the density and species composition were analyzed through the mark recapture distance sampling engine assisted by R statistical software.

Results
This study recorded a total of seventy-eight bird species over two distinct seasons. Among these, fifteen species were exclusive to Erica habitats, twenty-six were found in natural forest habitats, and three were specific to plantation forest habitats. The study also discovered three endemic species. Based on the 2018 IUCN Red List categories, six of the species are globally threatened, three are near threatened, and the remaining sixty-nine are classified as least concern. The relative abundance of birds did not significantly differ across habitats and seasons, but variations were observed among blocks. Bird density was found to fluctuate across the three habitats and two seasons; however, these habitat differences were not influenced by seasonal changes.

Conclusion
The findings of this study reveal that the differences in composition and relative abundance are not merely seasonal changes in the forest and Erica habitats. Instead, these habitats create microclimates that cater to specific bird species. However, this localized endemism also presents challenges. The concentration of endemic species and potential resource constraints could pose a threat to these habitat-specialist birds.
The Association between Placenta Previa in Pregnant Women with Previous Caesarian Section at Combined Military Hospital
Authors: Yasmin Col. Shamima , Akhter Lt. Col. Hasina 
Published: January 2024

Background: Placenta praevia is defined as a placenta implanted partially or completely over the lower uterine segment. Placenta praevia is a major cause of massive obstetric bleeding that leads to significant maternal morbidity and mortality. In the present day, the hypothesis is that previous cesarean section is the risk of development of placenta praevia.
Objective: To assess the relationship between placenta praevia and previous cesarean section.
Material and Methods: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka, from July 2021 to July 2022. Total 35 patients with placenta praevia were included in this study. Informed verbal and written consent were taken from the study participants. A detailed history was taken, general physical and per abdominal examination and previous records were reviewed properly. Placenta praevia was diagnosed by patient clinical presentation, ultrasonogram, and incidentally during cesarean section.
Results: The study shows the incidence of placenta praevia was 1.75% and incidence of placenta praevia in woman with previous caesarean section was 1% compared with 0.75% without previous caesarean section. The commonest age group was 26-30 years, which included 44%, and 32% belonged to 31-35 years age group. The mean age was 29.28± 10 years. Most of the patients were multigravida (62%). In maximum number of cases, (52%) were admitted at the gestational period between 35-38 weeks. Common clinical presentations were per vaginal bleeding 84% and 16% of patients were symptomatic. Regarding preoperative findings, 30(62.5%) patients had average preoperative bleeding. Postpartum hemorrhages corrected conservatively were 14(29.1%), and postpartum hemorrhage needed hysterectomy were 4(8.3%). In patients with no history of previous cesarean section 90% were delivered by cesarean section and 10% were delivered vaginally. Among patients with a history of the previous cesarean section all patients underwent cesarean section.
Conclusion: There is a strong association between having a previous caesarean delivery and the subsequent development of placenta praevia. The risk increases with the number of cesarean sections. So, pregnant women with a history of caesarean section must be regarded as high risk for placenta praevia and must be monitored carefully.

Aims: This study was conducted to detect Schistosoma mansoni among patients in primary healthcare centres in Keffi, Nigeria using microscopic and molecular techniques.
Study Design: The study was a cross sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Keffi, Nasarawa State, between March 2021 and September 2021.
Methodology: Stool samples were collected from 200 (29 each from Gidan Zakara, Sabon Gida, Jigwada, Angwan Jaba and 28 each from Kowa, Kaibo Mada and Yarkadai PHCs) patients and information were obtained by structured questionnaires. The ova of S. mansoni were microscopically detected from the samples using the formol ether stool sedimentation technique. The S. mansoni DNA was extracted from the samples and detected by conventional PCR technique using type-specific primers. Data collected were analysed using Smith’s Statistical Package (version 2.8, California, USA) and P value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Of the 200 patients screened, 2(1.0%) and 11(5.5%) were positive for intestinal schistosomiasis using microscopy and PCR respectively. Although age, gender and occupation of the patients were not significantly associated with the parasitic infection (P>0.05), however, higher prevalence was recorded among males (12.8%) pupils/students (22.7%) aged ≤14 (20.0%).
Conclusion: Our findings indicated a notable discrepancy between the two diagnostic methods, with PCR identifying a higher prevalence of intestinal schistosomiasis suggesting it to be a more sensitive tool for detecting this infection. However, the choice between these methods should consider their respective strengths and limitations, as well as the practical implications for disease control and treatment.
Does Farmers Aware and Benefited with Price Policy: A Study in Tamil Nadu, India

Published: January 2024

Aim: The support prices announced by the government are moved with a purpose of providing price security to farmers. This study assess the level of awareness on price support policy, to study the relationship between, minimum support price and price realized by the farmers and to study the implementation of MSP Policy in Tamil Nadu.
Study Design: Multi stage random sampling techniques were adopted.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Tamil Nadu. Primary data were collected from 30 districts of the State. The data was collected during the period from August 2021-September 2021.
Methodology: A total of 600 farmers from 30 districts were surveyed. Both primary and secondary data was used for this study. The data are pertaining to the reference year 2020-21. The percentage and average analysis were done.
Results: This study found that 55 per cent of farm households are not aware of MSP of crops grown by them which is a cause of concern. The crops like paddy, maize, green gram, cotton and sugarcane price realized by the farmer was less than the announced MSP. Out of few who were aware of MSP, nearly 20 per cent of farmers reported not selling the produce to procurement agencies. The important advantages from the procurement agencies are immediate payment for the produce and genuineness in weighment.
Conclusion: To increase the awareness about MSP of crops and to take benefit of it, better network of procurement agencies should be developed. Decentralized procurement agencies with local presence coupled with increased drying facility, storage capacity and deficiency payments can extend the benefits of support prices to a larger segment of the farming community.
Brief functional analysis and treatment of eye poking
Authors: MacDonald Jennifer E. , Wilder David A. , Dempsey Carrie 
Published: November 2002

AbstractA brief functional analysis suggested that eye poking exhibited by a 5‐year‐old boy diagnosed with cortical visual impairment was maintained by automatic reinforcement. Levels of eye poking in additional conditions suggested that the behavior might be maintained by visual stimulation. Response blocking through the use of safety goggles effectively reduced eye poking in the analog setting. Data from the natural environment suggest that, during intervention, eye poking was confined to times when response blocking was not in effect. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Literature on eating disorders during 40 Years: increasing number of papers, emergence of bulimia nervosa
Authors: Theander Sten S. 
Published: November 2002

AbstractThe growth of the literature on eating disorders during four decades is described, especially the development of literature on bulimia. The study is based on a database, ED40, that contains more than 14,000 references to articles on ED from 1960 to 1999. The references were imported from Medline® and PsycINFO®. A broad search method included articles on the physiology of hunger and satiety. The main data of the analysis are the total number of references per year, and the percentage of references per year that contain certain words or phrases. Over the 40 years an almost 27‐fold increase has occurred in the number of references in ED40, while the increase in Medline is about 4‐fold. A study of the relative increase shows a recent stagnation of the growth in the ED literature. The clinical emergence of bulimia nervosa and some epidemiological findings are discussed in relation to the increase of literature on bulimia.

Published: November 2002

AbstractLymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) is described in only a few children receiving chemotherapy for cancer. In all of them, an association between LPD and EBV (Epstein‐Barr Virus) was found. We report on a patient who developed LPD not associated with EBV while receiving chemotherapy for relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Despite discontinuation of chemotherapy, administration of intravenous immunoglobulins and surgery the patient died. Growing experience with this disorder may allow better treatment options in the future and will show whether LPD not associated with EBV requires different therapeutic strategies.

Local acid environment in poly(ethylene‐ran‐methacrylic acid) ionomers
Authors: Walters Russel M. , Sohn Karen E. , Winey Karen I. , Composto Russell J. 
Published: November 2002

AbstractThe local environment of unneutralized carboxylic acid groups in poly(ethylene‐ran‐methacrylic acid) (E/MAA) ionomers neutralized with monovalent (Li and Na) and divalent (Ca and Zn) ions has been investigated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. These unneutralized acid groups interact with one another to form acid dimers, and they associate with existing neutralized complexes. At room temperature, no free acids can be detected for any system, not even for pure E/MAA. With the acid dimer peak (1700 cm−1) and a known unneutralized acid concentration, the concentration of acids associated with a neutralized complex can be determined. This concentration of associated acids increases with increasing neutralization, reaches a maximum below 50% neutralization, and then decreases toward zero near 80% neutralization. This behavior is perhaps due to the increased driving force for aggregation of the neutralization acids. Although Li, Na, and Ca contain similar concentrations of associated acids over the range of neutralizations, the Zn system contains far fewer associated acids (i.e., more acid dimers) at any particular neutralization level. These results are confirmed by an analysis of the absorbance in the neutralized region (1650–1500 cm−1). © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 41: 2833–2841, 2002
Beyond generic models for information system quality: the use of interpretive structural modeling (ISM)
Authors: Kanungo Shivraj , Bhatnagar Vivek V. 
Published: November 2002

AbstractThis paper presents a framework that helps assess and synthesize information system (IS) quality using interpretive structural modeling (ISM). The emphasis of the approach presented in this paper is on an integrated framework to understand IS quality. Four standpoints are addressed in this paper while dealing with IS quality. They are multiplicity of perspectives, subjectivity, hierarchy, and completeness. A combination of deductive and emergent approaches was used in this study. IS quality constructs were generated using established theoretical precepts of IS quality. Following a broad‐based questionnaire survey, a smaller subset of respondents participated in an interactive ISM session. This allowed the formalization of how individuals (singly or in groups) produce their own relationships for constructs that are valid for their situations. The analysis of the models generated by such interactions preserves the four views of IS quality. In doing so, it has been shown that reflections of practice can be encapsulated by the method proposed. The paper ends with a discussion on implications for research as well as practice.

AbstractThree Latin American affiliates of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Western Hemisphere Region, Inc. (IPPF/WHR) have begun to integrate gender‐based violence screening and services into sexual and reproductive health programs. This paper presents results of a baseline study conducted in the affiliates. Although most staff support integration and many had already begun to address violence in their work, additional sensitization and training, as well as institution‐wide changes are needed to provide services effectively and to address needs of women experiencing violence.
Collecting evidence for sexual assault: the role of the sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE)
Authors: Taylor W.K. 
Published: November 2002

AbstractThe development of SANE programs stemmed from healthcare providers and others working with rape victims noting that there were inadequate services for rape victims. Often the standard of care was lower for rape victims than for other patients in the emergency department. In order to better meet the complex needs of rape victims healthcare professionals, advocates and others realized the need to establish a system that would provide complete, comprehensive, and appropriate care.

AbstractObjectives: To analyze the maternal and perinatal outcome in varying degrees of anemia. Methods: A total of 447 pregnant women were divided into group I (Hb>11 g%, n=123 women), group II (Hb 9–10.9 g%, n=214 women), group III (Hb 7–8.9 g%, n=79 women) group IV (Hb<7 g%, n=31 women). Their maternal and perinatal outcome, mode of delivery, duration of labor and postpartum complications were noted and analyzed using multiple logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (95% CI) for duration of labor, mode of delivery and low birth babies. Chi square or Fisher's exact test was employed for difference in proportions and Student's t‐test for testing difference between means. Results: Mean age (27±4.25 years) and number of women with parity >3 were highest in group IV. The patients with Hb<8.9 g% had a 4–6‐fold higher risk of prolonged labor compared to Hb>11 g%. The odds ratios for abnormal delivery (cesarean and operative vaginal deliveries) showed a 4.8‐fold higher risk (95% CI 1.82, 12.7) in patients with Hb ≤7.5 g%. The mean birth weight was maximum in the 9.6–10.5 g% category that fell with both increasing and decreasing hemoglobin values, being lowest in Group IV. Women in Group II had lowest number of low birth weight and IUGR babies, no stillbirths and neonatal deaths, lowest induction and operative delivery rates. Conclusions: Mild anemia fared best in maternal and perinatal outcome. Severe anemia was associated with increased low birth weight babies, induction rates, operative deliveries and prolonged labor.
Induction of Glutathione S-Transferases in Arabidopsis by Herbicide Safeners

Published: November 2002

Abstract
Herbicide safeners increase herbicide tolerance in cereals but not in dicotyledenous crops. The reason(s) for this difference in safening is unknown. However, safener-induced protection in cereals is associated with increased expression of herbicide detoxifying enzymes, including glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Treatment of Arabidopsis seedlings growing in liquid medium with various safeners similarly resulted in enhanced GST activities toward a range of xenobiotics with benoxacor, fenclorim, and fluxofenim being the most effective. Safeners also increased the tripeptide glutathione content of Arabidopsis seedlings. However, treatment of Arabidopsis plants with safeners had no effect on the tolerance of seedlings to chloroacetanilide herbicides. Each safener produced a distinct profile of enhanced GST activity toward different substrates suggesting a differential induction of distinct isoenzymes. This was confirmed by analysis of affinity-purified GST subunits by two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.AtGSTU19, a tau class GST, was identified as a dominant polypeptide in all samples. When AtGSTU19 was expressed inEscherichia coli, the recombinant enzyme was highly active toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, as well as chloroacetanilide herbicides. Immunoblot analysis confirmed that AtGSTU19 was induced in response to several safeners. Differential induction of tau GSTs, as well as members of the phi and theta classes by safeners, was demonstrated by RNA-blot analysis. These results indicate that, although Arabidopsis may not be protected from herbicide injury by safeners, at least one component of their detoxification systems is responsive to these compounds.
