Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND:
During pregnancy, the body requires more complex nutritional intake. Therefore, problems with fulfilling nutrition during pregnancy occur often. One of the most common nutritional problems in pregnancy is iron deficiency anemia, the most widespread micronutrient problem and the most difficult to overcome worldwide. This study aimed to determine awareness and prevention behavior associated with the incidence of iron deficiency in pregnant women living in urban slum areas.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This was a cross-sectional study. The data collection used KoboToolbox, an Android-based tool. Iron status was examined by serum ferritin level assay using ELISA at the Microbiology Laboratory Unit of Hasanuddin University Hospital.

RESULTS:
The prevalence of pregnant women who experienced iron deficiency was 78%. The logistic regression analysis showed that poor awareness (AOR = 3.03, CI 95% 1.26-7.29, P = 0.013) and practices in taking iron enhancers (AOR = 2.85, CI 95% 1.18–6.92, P = 0.020) became the main factors associated with iron deficiency among pregnant women.

CONCLUSIONS:
Poor awareness and practices regarding consuming iron enhancers increased the risk of iron deficiency among pregnant women living in urban slum areas. Iron deficiency is a major health concern for pregnant women, especially those living in slum settlements, which must be addressed. A more optimal healthcare system for pregnant women may reduce the incidence of iron anemia in pregnancy by improving health promotion and optimizing healthcare services.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND:
The urban poor is a group that is known to be vulnerable to the adoption of a more urbanized lifestyle that places them at a higher risk for diabetes. Identification of at-risk individuals using simple screening tools like the Indian diabetes risk score developed by Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF-IDRS) and appropriate lifestyle interventions could greatly help in preventing or postponing the onset of diabetes and thus reducing the burden of the disease on the community and the nation as a whole.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A cross-sectional study was conducted on individuals ≥30 years (n = 1533) of both genders in an urban colony of Chandigarh during a period of 1 year. A stratified two-stage systematic random sampling was adopted. The risk of developing Type 2 diabetes mellitus was assessed using IDRS. The total risk score of each participant was analyzed and compared. Biochemical investigations, including blood glucose and lipid profiles for detecting diabetes, were conducted. Data were presented in percentages and proportions. The statistical analysis of the data was performed by using the Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis.

RESULTS:
The prevalence of diabetes was 3.1% in the present study. Overall, the mean IDRS was found to be 52.14 ± 16.01. Elderly persons aged 60 years and above had higher IDRS. IDRS showed significant variability with age (P < 0.001). Females had significantly higher IDRS as compared to males (P = 0.002). The association between socioeconomic class and risk status was highly significant statistically (P < 0.001). IDRS among individuals with diabetes was found to be significantly higher (64.29 ± 13.92) as compared to non-diabetics. Among all, 749 (48.7%) had high IDRS, whereas 54 (3.5%) had low IDRS. There were 734 (47.8%) with moderate IDRS.

CONCLUSION:
IDRS was found to be highly sensitive for detecting the risk of diabetes, suggesting its potential use as a screening tool in community setup for the purpose of detecting diabetes.

BACKGROUND:
The education environment of medical colleges is known to have a burdensome effect on the overall mental health of the students. This study aimed to investigate the immediate impact of the medical education environment on mental health and quality of life among Health Profession students and to identify various coping strategies used by students to mitigate the stress.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
An online survey was conducted between April 1 and May 10, 2021, using a validated questionnaire based on DASS-42, employing a snowball sampling technique.

RESULTS:
A total of 338 students filled the questionnaire. The respondents had a high level of depression and anxiety scores, categorized as very severe which were significantly different among level of education (P < .05), for example, 88.9% of sixth year students had very severe depression compared to just 37% of first year ones. Gender-wise very severe scores varied from lowest 45.8% to 70.3% with comparable results for both males and females. Additionally, more than 30% of the students listed that the amount of material to be covered, lack of time to study the material to be tested, heavy demand to study, concern about trying to learn all the content, and competitiveness among students to be the top reason which affect their mental state of mental health.

CONCLUSIONS:
This study identifies the need to provide the free professional and psychological services to help cope with stress to the health profession students.
Methods of collecting and recording attendance of medical students in a classroom: A systematic review
Authors: Mondal Himel , Mondal Shaikat 
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND:
Recording the attendance of students is an important affair for schools, colleges, and universities. It is required to be compliant with the regulations set by the board or universities, as it helps to calculate cumulative attendance to determine the eligibility of a student for university examinations. Furthermore, it is crucial for the administration to have a record of who is on campus in case of an emergency. However, literature on various attendance methods that are in practice around the world is scarce. Hence, this review aimed to conduct a systematic literature review to find the current methods of recording attendance in a classroom.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Relevant literature was searched in PubMed using the keywords “attendance,” “method,” and “classroom,” and cross-references were also checked. Gray literature was also searched. The studies were screened for their content to determine their relevance to this review. A total of eight articles were included in the final systematic review.

RESULTS:
The literature suggests that the methods of recording attendance in a classroom can be broadly divided into three categories: teacher-led, student-led, and automated methods. In teacher-led methods, the teacher takes the responsibility of recording the attendance by actively implementing the method, and students respond (e.g., roll call by a teacher). In the student-led methods, the students take the responsibility to record attendance, while the teacher may act as a facilitator (e.g., signing in on a paper circulated among students). The newly introduced automated method requires little intervention from the teacher or students (e.g., radio-frequency identification (RFID)-based attendance).

CONCLUSION:
This review discusses the attendance recording methods in a classroom and explores the characteristics of these methods, along with their major advantages and disadvantages. Prospective teachers can gain insight into these methods and adopt suitable ones appropriate for their classrooms after assessing their suitability using the evaluation method suggested in this review.

Authors: Jha Pratibha , Singh Sumedha , Dutta Ratan Kumar 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background and Objective:
Preeclampsia is a maternal disease encountered during the second half of pregnancy. Many risk factors have been implicated in its pathogenesis. Periodontitis may burden pregnant patients systemically with cytokines and endotoxin at the maternal fetal interface leading to endothelium dysfunction. Hence, our objective was to check the association between periodontitis and preeclampsia.

Materials and Methods:
This observational study was conducted in the outpatient department (OPD) of community health center from March 15, 2022, to December 14, 2022, on 100 patients.

Inclusion Criteria:
Pregnant women of age group >18 years with informed consent with gestational age between 26 and 36 weeks with Singleton pregnancy. Women with a history of smoking, alcohol and periodontal treatment, multiple pregnancy, and consumption of antibiotics (3 months before study inclusion) were excluded. All eligible candidates in the antenatal clinic in OPD of obstetrics and gynecology were screened by history, obstetrical examination, routine antenatal tests, including urine routine and blood pressure measurement. Subjects were evaluated as per the designed protocol. Fifty preeclamptics were taken as case and 50 non preeclamptic were taken as control. Oral examination was conducted on the patients at the inclusion in the study and followed till delivery. Blood pressure and urine albumin were checked at each visit. Details noted on delivery and outcomes were observed.

Results:
The risk of preeclampsia in women having periodontitis showed an odds ratio of 3.436 (95% confidence interval: 1.460–8.065; P = 0.006).

Conclusion:
As the etiology of both events is multifactorial preeclampsia and periodontitis relationship needs wise attention.
Fluid management strategy in dengue acute respiratory distress syndrome with chronic kidney disease: A case report
Authors: Prithvi Devarakonda , Kumar Ajeet , Kumar Amarjeet 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Pulmonary manifestation in dengue is due to the involvement of both the upper and lower airways. Severe forms of dengue infection (pleural effusion, dengue hemorrhagic shock syndrome, and acute respiratory distress syndrome [ARDS]) are mainly due to the involvement of the lower respiratory tract. ARDS is a well-known respiratory complication following dengue infection. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) diagnosed with dengue had a higher risk of unfavorable outcomes. Pulmonary involvement is one of the life-threatening complications in patients having CKD that contributes to increasing the mortality rate. Dysregulation of cytokines and apoptotic signaling pathway is a nonclassical mechanism of the kidney–lung crosstalk that results in the development of acute kidney injury in patients having ARDS. Severe worsening of renal function is common in CKD patients with dengue. Here, we discuss fluid management strategy in a patient having CKD who developed ARDS following dengue infection. The difficulty in the therapeutic dilemma is attributable to ambiguity in liberal versus conservative fluid therapy, contributing to a high risk of mortality. The narrow window of fluid tolerance in CKD patients further complicates the resuscitation strategy in patients with dengue ARDS.
Bilateral dead bag syndrome in skeletal dysplasia: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Banerjee Prabrisha , Priya Sweksha , Khan Sweta , Chowdhury Maitreyi 
Published: January 2024

Abstract:
Posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation is a rare yet grave complication of cataract surgery. Late in-the-bag IOL dislocation is usually spontaneous and occurs due to progressive zonular weakness. Aging, high myopia, pseudoexfoliation, vitrectomized eye, and connective tissue disorder are the predisposing factors. A floppy capsular bag without any proliferative deposits has been termed a “dead bag.” Bilateral in-the-bag IOL dislocation or dead bag syndrome is very infrequent. We present such a case in a 67-year-old male with skeletal dysplasia. The patient had undergone uneventful cataract surgery in both eyes 11 years and 6 years ago respectively. Skeletal dysplasia may cause zonulopathy and associated defective collagen synthesis can affect the anchorage points of the zonules. In these patients, cataract surgery should be accomplished by experienced surgeons after detailed counseling of such complications.
Formal degree of regular supercuspidals
Authors: Schwein David 
Published: January 2024

Supercuspidal representations are usually infinite-dimensional, so the size of such a representation cannot be measured by its dimension; the formal degree is a better alternative. Hiraga, Ichino, and Ikeda conjectured a formula for the formal degree of a supercuspidal in terms of its

L

-parameter only. Our first main result is to compute the formal degrees of the supercuspidal representations constructed by Yu. Our second result, using the first, is to verify that Kaletha’s regular supercuspidal

El otorgamiento de legitimidad indebida al actor civil, para intervenir en la pretensión punitiva del proceso penal
Authors: Rivera Fernández Ryder Hans 
Published: January 2024

Nuestro sistema procesal penal confiere la posibilidad de requerir al órgano jurisdiccional dos pretensiones cuando se ha cometido un hecho delictivo. La primera de estas es la pretensión penal, cuyo titular es el Ministerio Público; la segunda pretensión es la civil resarcitoria, la cual es reclamada por el agraviado constituido en actor civil. Sin embargo, el presente trabajo de investigación logra demostrar que en la casuística los jueces penales otorgan legitimidad indebida al actor civil para reclamar una pretensión penal que no le corresponde defender, llegando a arrogarse la titularidad de la acción penal del Ministerio Público. Se logra acreditar que el actor civil ha supeditado su pretensión resarcitoria a la previa condena de un delito, contrario a lo que estipula el Código Procesal Penal del 2004. Se demuestra también que, los jueces penales acceden a diversos requerimientos del actor civil sobre la conducta punitiva del investigado muchas veces en contraposición a la decisión que toma el Ministerio Público. Se concluye que la legitimidad de facto otorgada indebidamente al actor civil termina sometiendo al investigado a una doble persecución penal, una del Ministerio Público, y otra, privativa del actor civil
Analysis of Grid-tied Solar Photovoltaic Energy Generation under Uncertain Atmospheric Conditions Using Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Control System
Authors: Zangina Ja'afar Sulaiman , Aliyu Suleiman Muhammad , Ahmed Abdulla 
Published: January 2024

The grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) power system has remained the most practical and sustainable configuration among renewable energy generation systems. Although uncertainties persist in solar irradiance and temperature, the grid-tied system faces transient instability issues during maximum power point tracking, adversely affecting power quality and resulting in substantial costs. To overcome this issue, we proposed analyzing the grid-tied system under uncertain atmospheric conditions based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy control system (ANCS). This control scheme incorporates a hybrid learning algorithm and undergoes evaluation across various operating conditions. The obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of the learning algorithm in maintaining a fast convergence speed. Consequently, this capability ensures the consistent preservation of sufficient power quality in the power system without any discernible transient impact. Furthermore, the investigation reveals the significant impact of solar radiation and temperature on the performance of the solar grid-tied PV system. Specifically, temperature alone contributes to over 15% power reduction when reaching 45 °C. As the temperature decreases to 5 °C at 1000 W/m2 irradiance, the ANCS influences an increase in the system's power generation from 100.72 kW at 25 °C to 103.01 kW.

Embracing AI in English Composition: Insights and Innovations in Hybrid Pedagogical Practices
Authors: Hutson James , Plate Daniel , Berry Kadence 
Published: January 2024

In the rapidly evolving landscape of English composition education, the integration of AI writing tools like ChatGPT and Claude 2.0 has marked a significant shift in pedagogical practices. A mixed-method study conducted in Fall 2023 across three sections, including one English Composition I and two English Composition II courses, provides insightful revelations. The study, comprising 28 student respondents, delved into the impact of AI tools through surveys, analysis of writing artifacts, and a best practices guide developed by an honors student. Initially, the study observed a notable anxiety and mistrust among students regarding the use of AI in writing. However, this apprehension gradually subsided as students increasingly integrated these tools into their writing processes, indicating a shift from skepticism to practical application. The analysis of writing artifacts, particularly early drafts, revealed distinct patterns of AI tool usage, differentiating between students utilizing the tools effectively and those attempting to shortcut the writing process. The final papers, while not overtly indicating AI usage, demonstrated nuanced integration of AI in iterative and recursive tasks like refining arguments and developing ideas at the paragraph level. This suggests a trend towards a hybrid model of writing instruction, where traditional methods are complemented by strategic use of emergent technologies. The study underscores the importance of revised instructional strategies that blend conventional writing techniques with guidance on effective and ethical AI tool usage. It highlights the potential of AI tools in supporting the writing process while also cautioning against over-reliance. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for educators and institutions aiming to develop a balanced and effective hybrid writing instruction model, catering to the needs of contemporary English composition classrooms while maintaining academic integrity.

Published: January 2024

Objective: To assess the knowledge of junior doctors and nurses about proper collection, storage and dispatch of pathology specimens to the laboratory.
Methodology: This was a cross sectional questionnaire-based study conducted at Dr. Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital (DANTH), Islamabad and Pakistan Ordinance factories (POF) Hospital Wah from Jan-June 2023. Hard copy of questionnaire with 29 questions regarding sample collection related to Hematology, Microbiology, Chemical pathology and Histopathology was given to junior doctors and nurses. Total 171 responses were received from junior doctors and nurses of both hospitals. Hundred participants were from DANTH and 71 from POF hospital.
Results: Fifty-eight nurses (34%) and one hundred thirteen doctors (66%) – mainly house officers and postgraduate trainees filled the questionnaire. Data was analyzed with SPSS 21.0 to calculate the percentages of correct answers. Overall, the knowledge was poor with mean score of 9.8 (35%) ranging from 5-17 for doctors and 5-14 for nurses. There was statistically no significant difference (V=12.134, df=12, p=0.435) in the knowledge of doctors (X? =9.98 ± 2.4) and nurses (X?=9.5 ± 2.3). However, in Clinical Chemistry and Histopathology doctors had slightly better knowledge than nurses.
Conclusion: This study showed lack of knowledge in nurses and junior doctors regarding proper sampling. It seems appropriate that medical students and paramedics should get an awareness about sample collection as part of their curriculum to avoid extra workload on the laboratory as well as proper management of patients.
