Cognition and cardiovascular comorbidities among older adults in primary care in West India
Authors: Dhikav Vikas , Jadeja Bhargavi , Gupta Pooja 
Published: January 2023

Objectives:
Cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., diabetes and hypertension) are comorbidities associated with cognitive impairment. The present study was planned to study the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and cognitive impairment using General Practitioner assessment of Cognition (GPCOG) scale, which is easy to use scale in the primary care.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 350 older adults (mean age=66.71 ± 6.53 years; M:F = 220:130) among 3000 who reported to the primary care center in West India were screened. Cardiovascular risk factors were assessed based on written medical records. GPCOG was used for cognitive screening of those over the age of 60 with subjective memory complaints.

Results:
Frequency of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in those with cognitive impairment was 46.2% (n = 162/350) and 29% (101/350) in those without cognitive impairment. A Chi-square test of proportion showed values to be statistically significantly different (Chi-square value = 22.04; P =< 0.001; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 10.0463–24.1076%). Odds ratio was found to be 1.6 (95% CI =2–2.1; P =< 0.05).

Conclusion:
A higher CV risk factors were observed among those with cognitive impairment compared to those cognitively normal older adults in the primary care.
Buddhist Relics as the Basis for Political Myths: A New Approach to Understanding the Religious Revival in Buryatia
Authors: Софья Александровна Соколова, 
Published: January 2023

Статья посвящена рассмотрению роли реликвий в формировании и продвижении концепции «северного буддийского возрождения» или, иными словами, смещения центра мирового буддизма из Тибета на север, в Республику Бурятия. На основе данных об обнаруженных в недавнее время реликвиях и связанных с этим популярных легенд автор обнаруживает и исследует параллели с процессами возрождения буддизма в Тибете в X-XII вв., а также размышляет над тем, может ли Улан-Удэ стать новым религиозным центром, как это случилось с Лхасой в прошлом. Значительная часть статьи посвящена вопросам культурного суверенитета в его тесной связи с концепцией суверенного бурятского буддизма. Автор приходит к выводу, что, несмотря на наличие определенных предпосылок, становление Бурятии в качестве нового мирового центра буддизма на текущий момент маловероятно. При этом статуса важного центра буддизма школы Гелуг (или ламаизма, «желтой веры») республика вполне может достичь, если такая цель будет поставлена.
This article explores the role that the recently discovered relics play in formulating and promoting the idea of a “northern Buddhist Renaissance,” in other words, the shift of the center of global Buddhism from Tibet to the north, and particularly, to the Russian Federation’s Republic of Buryatia. Based on the analysis of the recent discoveries and the popular legends associated with them, the author examines this process, drawing parallels with the mechanisms of the Tibetan Buddhist Renaissance of the tenth - twelfth centuries. She considers whether Ulan-Ude could become a new religious center in the same way as Lhasa did in the past. A significant part of the article is devoted to issues of cultural sovereignty in connection with the concept of sovereign Buryat Buddhism. The author concludes that, despite the existence of certain prerequisites for this, Buryatia is unlikely to become a new world center of Buddhism in the foreseeable future, but it may well become one of the centers of the Gelug school (or Lamaism, the “yellow faith”).

Authors: Adzkia Sagaf , Muntasya Alya Sabina 
Published: January 2023

Violin players are required to have balanced technical skills not only with the left hand (finger operation on the strings), but also the role of the right hand (playing the bow). Qualifications that emphasize exercises that focus on right-hand skills are in fact often under-appreciated. This research proposal presents a study-based violin learning strategy that emphasizes right hand skills through bowing variation treatment, which is applied to Rodolphe Kreutzer's Etudes Ou Caprices No. 2. The focus of this research is the music education study program, ISI Yogyakarta. This study uses a qualitative method with a musicological approach. The stages that were passed in this research were through the process of literature study, observation, interviews, and analysis. The results of this study are: the emergence of eight variations of bowing which was applied to Etudes Ou Caprices no.2 Rodolphe Kreutzer; the treatment applied is useful in improving the right hand technique and the differentiating specifications between each bowing technique; through continuous practice of bowing variation techniques can make students responsive in reading notation symbols, especially on the diversity of right-handed techniques; treatment of variations of bowing detache, staccato, spiccato, legato, and their variations can be easily applied to the repertoire/songs being studied to support interpretation.

Published: January 2023

The scarcity of water has become a growing problem worldwide. The search for new sources has therefore intensified, and one of these sources is greywater. The objective of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of three different coagulants obtained from Moringa oleiferaseed (seed husk, ground seed, and degreased) in synthetic greywater. The methodology is planned in stages; in the first stage, these seeds were selected, unsheathed, and dried in the sun for 24 hours, and the coagulant was synthesized by a 1 M NaCl solution. In the second stage, the synthetic greywater was prepared in a laboratory and included personal cleaning products and additional chemical components. Finally, a statistical test was employed to evaluate the removal of turbidity and the incidence and behavior of the turbidity, pH, alkalinity, and dissolved oxygen over seven periods and the type of coagulant. It was found that the coagulant degreased obtained the highest percentage of removal (85%) and the coagulant from seed husk had the lowest efficiency with 75%. On the other hand, it was found that parameters such as pH and dissolved oxygen depend on the type of coagulant, while conductivity and alkalinity do not depend on time or the type of coagulant.

Published: January 2023

Background and Purpose: Arthrosis of the first MTP joint is a common condition. Among the available arthrodesis methods, plate/screw and screw methods are the current treatment methods of choice. In this study, we investigate whether there is a difference between these two methods.
Methods: Thirty-four toes of 32 patients with advanced arthrosis were included in the study. Eighteen toes were fixed with plates/screws and 16 with cross-screws. In the radiological evaluations, malunion and nonunion were examined. Clinical evaluation was made according to AOFAS-HMI scoring.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 57.74 years and the mean follow-up period was 22.21 months. There was no statistically significant difference in clinical scores or union times between the two groups. As complications, superficial skin problems developed in 2 (5.9%) cases, deep infection in 3 (8.8%) cases, and nonunion in 3 (8.8%) cases. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in this regard.
Conclusion: Plate/screw and cross-screw techniques give similar clinical and radiological results in cases of arthrodesis of the first MTP joint. The cross-screw technique, which can be performed more easily and has lower costs, should be the first choice.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: Reverse shoulder prosthesis is a method used after massive rotator cuff tears. It is a surgical method used to improve shoulder functions and to cope with pain. Long-term results of physiotherapy programs applied after surgery are insufficient. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term results of reverse shoulder prosthesis applied to both shoulders.
Methods: A 66-year-old female patient with a rotator cuff tear on both shoulders was included in the study. After surgery, 40 sessions of physiotherapy were applied to the left shoulder and 45 sessions of physiotherapy to the right shoulder, and the right shoulder was followed for 6 years and the left shoulder for 8 years. VAS for pain, goniometer for active range of motion, and constant shoulder score questionnaire for functionality were used in the evaluations.
Results: Significant differences were found in the preoperative and postoperative evaluation in terms of pain, activities of daily living and active range of motion of the patient. While the preoperative Constant scores were 32 for the left shoulder and 34 for the right shoulder, the postoperative Constant scores were calculated as 84 for both shoulders.

Published: January 2023

Objective: Commonly used biochemical tests in blood samples may be measured at any time of day. This study investigated the existence and clinical significance of diurnal variations in some of routine parameters to facilitate accurate and reliable decision-making in diagnosis and follow-up.
Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 17 healthy volunteers who were 18-50 years of age (11 men, 6 women) on the same day at 9:00 am, 12:00 am, 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm, and 12:00 pm. Samples collected at 9:00 am were regarded as baseline. The results of 19 biochemical parameters in blood samples obtained at 12.00 am, 3.00 pm, 6.00 pm and 12.00 pm were statistically and clinically compared with the results at 9.00 am baseline sample.
Results: Total protein, creatinine, aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transferase showed no clinically significant variation within the day, but clinically significant changes were observed in levels of glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), albumin, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, sodium, potassium, chloride and amylase. Especially, BUN changed by maximum 20-30%, TBIL, DBIL and triglyceride maximum 40-50% within the day.
Conclusion: The results of our study suggest that clinicians should consider the timing of blood sampling and the diurnal variations in BUN, TBIL, DBIL and triglyceride parameters during diagnosis and treatment follow-up. Sampling throughout the day seems to pose no problem for other tests with limited diurnal variation.
