Authors: Dayal Ram , Singh Kamla 
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to evaluate several factors, such as transfer of fresh embryos & body mass index (BMI), frozen embryos, endometrium thickness, and transfer of self and donor embryos, on the pregnancy outcomes in North Indian patients. In this observational retrospective cohort study, we enrolled 500 patients who underwent infertility treatment that visited IRCC Hospital, Panchkula, Haryana, India between June 2017 to June 2020 was studied. Out of 500 patients, only 467 patients were selected (93.40%) and 33 patients were excluded (6.60%) from the study. Patients were distributed in fresh embryo transfer n=312 (66.80%) and frozen embryo transfer n = 155 (33.19%). They were divided into six groups of different age groups patients: fresh embryo transfer on day 3, correlation with grade-A and grade-B embryos; group (C-1), fresh embryo transfer on day 3, correlation with age and endometrium thickness; group (C-2), fresh embryo transfer on day 3, correlation of IVF pregnancy with age and BMI; group (C-3), frozen embryo transfer on day 3, correlation with age and endometrium thickness; group (C - 4), self-frozen embryo transfer on day 3, correlation with age and endometrium thickness; group (C-5), donor frozen embryo transfer on day 3, correlation with age and endometrium thickness; group (C-6). Of the six groups, the pregnancy rate was the lowest in the C-6 group (30.5%), while it was the highest in the C-5 group (65.2%). We also noticed that patients aged above 41 years have the lowest pregnancy rates; whereas, young patients had higher pregnancy rates. Conclusion: frozen self-embryo transfer seems to be the best choice for all maternal ages. Embryo transfers in this group might have low neonatal outcomes. In particular, frozen embryo transfers seem to benefit younger maternal age.

Metodología: Cuantitativa, descriptiva y transversal; población: madres adolescentes con hijos prematuros internados en neonatología; recolección de datos mediante formulario validado. Resultados: Se estudiaron 62 madres adolescentes; edades 13 a 19 años, promedio 17±1,6; 73% adolescentes tardías. Sobre sus ideas respecto al desarrollo motor grueso sólo 31% tenían expectativas adecuadas al calendario evolutivo. En ideas sobre la habilidad para caminar el 32% expresó expectativas adecuadas; distribuidas por grupo etario, las ideas sobre capacidad de caminar fueron adecuadas en 18% de adolescentes tempranas y 46% de tardías. La capacidad de correr no mostró diferencias de importancia entre las madres tempranas y las tardías. Sobre control de esfínteres, 29% de adolescentes tempranas y 33% de las tardías tenían expectativas adecuadas. En desarrollo motor fino, 45% de las madres tenían expectativas adecuadas, sin mostrar diferencias importantes según grupos etarios maternos. En habilidad de apilar cubos, 35% de las adolescentes tempranas referían ideas adecuadas al calendario, lo que fue algo menor en las tardías (29%). Sobre el lenguaje 36% de las madres tenían expectativas adecuadas; con 21% en las tempranas y 35% en las tardías. Sobre silabeo, ideas adecuadas en 18% en adolescentes tempranas y 24% en tardías. Respecto a desarrollo afectivo, 48% de las madres expresaron ideas adecuadas; lo que alcanzó a 23% en las tempranas y 58% en tardías. Conclusión: gran parte de las madres adolescentes tienen expectativas no adecuadas al desarrollo de sus hijos prematuros, entrelazadas con ideas desajustadas al calendario evolutivo. Expectativas sobre desarrollo motor grueso, fino, lenguaje y afectivo varían según grupos etarios maternos, con ideas menos ajustadas a lo que debería suceder en adolescentes tempranas al compararlas con las tardías.

Fahr’s Syndrome Secondary to Hypoparathyroidism Presenting with Paralysis and Recurrent Seizures: A Case Report
Authors: Jihwaprani Muhammad Candragupta , Kumara Evan Gintang 
Published: June 2023

Aim: To describe a rare case of Fahr’s syndrome (FS) associated with chronic post-surgical hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia.
Case Presentation: A 63-year-old female with a previous history of total thyroidectomy and hemiplegia presented to our hospital with altered mentation and recurrent generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Laboratory evaluation revealed hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcemia, and hypokalemia. Head computed tomography (CT) scan was consistent with FS, demonstrating extensive, bilateral, and symmetrical calcified deposits in the brain, predominantly in basal ganglia, corona radiata, and cerebellar hemispheres. The association with post-surgical hypoparathyroidism and relevant biochemical indices determined the suspected etiology of the pathologic process of ectopic calcification.
Discussion: FS is a rare, neurodegenerative disorder characterized by abnormal bilateral ectopic calcified deposits in the basal ganglia and other brain structures. FS presents with a wide variety of neurological and psychiatric manifestations. The diagnosis is confirmed by neuroimaging studies such as a head CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging, which displays the calcification of BG and other structures in a bilateral and symmetrical pattern. Biochemical analysis may adjunctively identify the underlying risk factor of the disease.
Conclusion: Our case represents a long-term severe consequence of untreated post-surgical hypoparathyroidism, which has consequently led to irreversible secondary FS. Maintenance of eucalcemic and euphosphatemic states is essential to prevent the progression of ectopic cerebral calcification.

Published: June 2023

Background: Pandemics are wide-ranging incidences of infectious diseases that significantly increase morbidity and mortality in extensive geographic area. The study assessed impacts of pandemics experienced by healthcare workers in teaching hospitals in Rivers State, Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted among healthcare workers in teaching hospitals (University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) and Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) in Rivers State Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling method was adopted to recruit 754 healthcare workers into the study, and a descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. A structured questionnaire was developed and pre-tested. The reliability of the questionnaire for this study was performed with the index of internal consistency and was calculated with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient which gave a considerable value of 0.72. The responses gotten from the participants were entered into, and analysed with IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 25. Ethical clearance to conduct the study was gotten from the Research and Ethics Committee of the University of Port Harcourt. Informed consents were obtained from each of the participants.
Results: Most (62.2%) of the participants experienced psychological impact of pandemics, (59.4%) of the participants experienced emotional impact of pandemics, (54.5%) of the participants experienced financial impact of pandemics and the overall (58.2%) of experienced impact of pandemics on the HCWs was obtained. Also, the result revealed a statistically significant association between marital (p=0.0001), sex (p=0.003), religion (p=0.0001), level of education completed (p=0.039), income (p=0.0001), professional category (p=0.0001), duration of work (p=0.0001) and overall experienced impact of pandemics on the participants. We predicted that among the participants, marital status, sex, religion, education, income professional category, and work duration at (p≤ 0.05), significantly contributed to the level of experienced impact of pandemics among the participants.
Conclusion: Majority of the healthcare workers reported impact of pandemics. However, psychological impact of the pandemics was most prevalent impact experienced by the healthcare workers who took part in this study. The level of impact of pandemics experienced by the health workers were substantially influenced by their socio-demographic characteristics. We recommend hospital management should improve the work setting and provide necessary support to the workers. Also, the healthcare workers should participant trainings on coping strategies during pandemics.

HIV has been associated with neurocognitive impairment which may be due to the direct effect of the virus, indirect effect or due to medications side effects or due to a combination of factors. HIV and depression have been shown separately to have neurocognitive deficits.
Aim: Determine the prevalence of NCI and factors associated with it among depressed and non-depressed patients with HIV on combined antiretroviral treatment (cART).
Methodology. A descriptive comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among People living with HIV (PLHIV) at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in Kano State, northern Nigeria. Participants were grouped into HIV with depression and HIV without depression groups based on current diagnosis using the depression module of the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI)-7th edition. A multi-domain neuropsychological battery (MDNPT) of 5 tests (assessed 5 cognitive domains) was used to diagnose Neurocognitive impairment.
Results: Fifty-seven percent of the study sample were females, and the mean age of the participants was 37.54 (±10.04) years with an age range of 18-65 years.
The prevalence of NCI was 74% among the depressed 68.3% among the non-depressed group (p=0.484). Years of education and IHDS score were significantly associated with NCI in the depressed group (p < 0.05 respectively). While among the non-depressed group, Years of education, average monthly income and IHDS score were significantly associated with NCI (p < 0.05 respectively).
Conclusion: Neurocognitive impairment occurs in HIV-positive patients but is worsened by a depressive disorder. There is a need to adequately assess and treat HIV patients with depression. Treatment may improve neurocognitive impairment in depressed HIV patients.

Published: June 2023

The aim of this study was to select thermotolerant acetic acid bacteria with no overoxidation ability that would be useful for low-cost vinegar production. Acetic bacteria were isolated from palm wine and mango pulp after 3 to 5 days of fermentation. The isolates were first characterized by biochemical tests and were identified by sequencing of the rRNA 16 S gene. From the substrates collected, a total of 48 acetic acid bacteria were isolated. Among them, 8 strains showing inability to oxidate acetate to CO2 and H2O. Three strains of these 8 isolates belonging to Gluconobacter oxydans (Ski1) and to Acetobacter ghanensis (Fke 22 and Fk5) were able to grow and produce acetic acid at 37°C and in culture medium containing 5% of ethanol and until 10% of acetic acid. This study allows to select three thermotolerant acetic acid bacteria strains with high amount of acetic acid production capacity but with no-overoxydation ability. These strains could then be useful as starters for low-cost vinegar production.
Petrographic and Structural Study of Precambrian Pegmatite Veins in the Igarra Schist Belt, Southwestern Nigeria

Published: June 2023

Precambrian Pegmatite veins in Igarra were studied and analyzed in order to group the veins based on their structures, orogenic episodes and modal composition. Pegmatite veins are found more in granodiorites, Migmatite-Gneiss and undifferentiated mixed rocks in the study area. The studied veins were predominantly dykes and sills while some were folded into irregular shapes. Exposed studied veins have minimum length of 2.5m and maximum of 10m. A minimum width of 43cm and maximum of 2m were also recorded. Structural elements like strike directions analyzed using rose diagrams suggest that the emplacement of pegmatite veins is related to a dominant structural control orogenic event. Two major deformational episodes were recorded on the pegmatite veins studied. The irregular recumbent folded pegmatite veins represent a ductile phase deformation which resulted in the formation of planar structures in the study area. The second deformation that impacted the pegmatites was a brittle phase deformation that resulted to fractures found in basement rocks many which were filled with pegmatites and quartz veins. Results showed that the dominant strike directions of veins were mainly in the NE-SW and N-S directions. Also recorded were few veins which trend in the NW-SE direction both which were likely the imprint of Pan-African orogeny in the study area. Modal composition of minerals from thin section results on samples shows they are predominantly feldspathic pegmatites with k-feldspar between (32 to 46%) with mean value of 40.9% and plagioclase (18 to 30%) with mean value of 21.5%.The NE-SW veins have more biotite than the NW-SE pegmatite veins. Perthitic structures (mask effect of albitic plagioclase) were recorded in the NE-SW veins. Sericitization of feldspars (hydrothermal alteration) was also seen in the NE-SW pegmatite veins. The mineral Tourmaline is associated with NE-SW veins as seen in thin section petrography while Sphene (Titanite) can be found in the NW-SE pegmatite veins.
