Published: July 2023

Background:
Cancer incidence and mortality are rapidly growing worldwide. Cancer affects the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Yoga has its origin in the ancient times. This ancient practice has been used for holistic well-being for ages. Yoga as an alternative therapy might be beneficial for cancer patients too. This study was conducted to assess knowledge, attitudes, and yoga practices among cancer patients.

Materials and Methods:
For this cross-sectional survey, a self-designed questionnaire was validated and distributed among 25 cancer patients for a pilot study. Then, a full-fledged study was conducted based on the interviews of 1000 cancer patients at a tertiary care oncology unit and the data were analyzed using R 3.6.

Results:
A total of 1000 participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional survey. Out of 1000 participants, 91 were excluded as they responded that they were not familiar with the term “Yoga” in the first question of the questionnaire. Of 919 participants, 238 strongly agreed and 395 agreed with the question that people who practice yoga are less prone to diseases, showing that 68.87% of cancer patients have a positive attitude toward yoga. However, only 145 (15.77%) of the participants practice yoga regularly. Lack of time was the most common reason for not practicing yoga, and the other reasons were the lack of interest and insufficient facilities.

Conclusion:
The present study on 1000 patients from the yoga capital of the world, Rishikesh, highlights the fact that the majority of cancer patients are aware of yoga practice’s benefits and if given the opportunity to learn appropriate techniques, yoga can further improve the outcome in such patients. There is a need to design the effective yoga programs for cancer patients to promote suitable yoga practices in this population.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Diagnosis and Prognosticating Neurological Outcome in Cases of Neonatal Seizure
Authors: Dathan Krishna , Lakshmi V 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Neonatal seizures are one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity. In cases of neonatal seizures, the cause of the seizures determines the long-term outcome. There are a number of adverse outcomes associated with this condition, including hearing loss,recurrence of seizures, impaired mental and motor development, and cerebral palsy. The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain for the diagnosis of neonatal seizures has become one of the most common diagnostic methods since it does not require radiation and is possible to perform during the newborn’s physiological sleep. Aim of this study was to examine etiological associations, the long-term neurological consequences, and the use of magnetic resonance imaging as a tool for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes in newborn infants with seizures.

Methods:
In this retrospective cohort study, a tertiary care hospital was used as the setting. The study included neonates with seizures who underwent MRI scans of their brains during their hospitalization. A structured clinical follow-up period of 18 to 24 months was used to assess the neurodevelopment of the child.

Results:
A total of 92 percent of 48 infants who underwent MRIs had an underlying cause. A diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy was the most common (27%), followed by a diagnosis of meningitis (23.2%). Of the 43 infants who were followed up, 21 were found to have neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI), while ten were found to have moderate to severe neurodevelopmental impairment, with these outcomes being more common in infants without HIE. MRI findings were abnormal in 32 of 48 infants scanned. The absence of major cerebral lesions is highly correlated with a normal neurological outcome.

Conclusion:
MRI helped identify the etiology of seizures in 92 percent of cases. At 18-24 months, the risk of neurodevelopmental delay is low if the MRI brain shows no lesions. The findings of this study demonstrate the utility of MRI in neonates for diagnosing and predicting neurological outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Stress is generally known as a silent killer which manifests as increased anxiety, pertaining to a particular event. Surgery of any kind leads to stress which is inevitable for the patient. The reduction of stress is vital for patient satisfaction and successful clinical practice. One of the ways to reduce presurgical stress is listening to music. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of classical piano music (PM) and Gayatri mantra (GM) on presurgical vital parameters of patients undergoing major maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia.

Patients and Methods:
Forty patients requiring maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia were included. They were divided into two groups. In Group 1, patients listened to PM and in Group II to GM before being induced. Patients were chosen alternatively and connected to noninvasive blood pressure monitor. Readings of vital parameters, i.e., pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure, were recorded and statistically evaluated.

Results:
Pulse showed a 3%–5% decrease in value for the PM group versus a 0.4%–3.3% decrease for the GM group. Systolic blood pressure showed a maximum decrease of up to 4.3% for PM group as against 3.8% decrease for GM group. PM showed a greater decrease in the vital parameters compared to GM.

Conclusion:
Listening to classical PM 30 min before induction of general anesthesia results in reduced patient anxiety and a smoother induction for the anesthetist.

Published: July 2023

A study to investigate the relationship between black flies (Simuliidae) pupa abundance and physio-chemical parameters such as velocity, water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and total dissolved solid was conducted at Tambunan district, Sabah. A total of six rivers were selected as sampling stations. Five sampling points located at a distance of 5-10 meters were established in each sampling station. Sampling was conducted every fortnight for a duration of six months from October 2015 until March 2017. Samples of black flies larvae and pupae were manually collected from substrates consisting of grasses, plant roots and plastics which were found stuck in between the rocks with running water area. Water quality parameters that were measured during every sampling, include water temperature, velocity, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and total dissolve solids (TDS). Results from this study showed that The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed two PC’s which had eigenvalues >1.0 and together accounted for 78% total variability of the physio-chemical parameters. PC-1 which accounted 56% of variability defined a normal temperature (23-250C), high water velocity, high dissolved oxygen, low conductivity and low total dissolved solid. While PC-2 explained 22% of the variability was related to water pH. Pearson’s correlation result shows that only velocity had a significant relationship with the abundance of black flies (r=0.512, p<0.01), while other parameters did not show any significant relationship with its abundance. In conclusion, results from this study revealed that only water velocity had a significant relationship with the abundance of black flies.

Authors: Hoang Van Hung  , Nguyen Thi Mo  , Pham Viet Phong  
Published: July 2023

Reduced graphene oxide (Gr) has been synthesized electrochemically on the surface of copper metal at a fixed potential of 1.5 V versus a standard saturated calomel electrode (SCE). The synthesized Gr was then characterized with X-Ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, raman and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopies. The anti-corrosion behavior of Gr was tested with polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in acidic medium of 0.5 M sulfuric acid solution. X-ray difraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Raman analyses revealed that the Gr is more thermo-stable than GO. The d-spacing between sheets in comparison Gr (~ 3.78 Å) is shorter than d-spacing between sheets in GO (~ 8.80 Å). The Gr film synthesized within 30 seconds shows the better anti-corrosion behavior in comparison to the films synthesized with longer time interval.

Highly effective graphene membrane for transformer oil purification
Authors: Vu T. Tan  , Nguyen Linh Chi  , Pham Van Tuan  
Published: July 2023

A highly effective adsorbent comprised of the Graphene membrane was created using the sonification method in this study. For all we know, the resulting Graphene membrane was employed as an adsorbent for transformer oil purification for the first time. The quality of the treated oil was evaluated through several factors, such as acid number TAN(mg KOH/g), color, breakdown voltage, and viscosity. The results indicated that the Graphene membrane exceeded the other commercial adsorbents in terms of purifying capacity. Several reasons, including the unreduced oxygen functional groups, vacancy defects on the surface of the Graphene flake, the high specific surface area, and the proper pore size of the Graphene membrane for oil refining, might explain this exceptional outcome. Furthermore, the 3D structure of the Graphene membrane can extend the residence purification time of the transformer oil, assisting in the improvement of the purification capability of the Graphene membrane.
