Published: April 2023

Background Ultrasonography of the liver allows detection of liver mass and bile duct dilatation which are findings of suspected Cholangiocarcinoma so that early stage Cholangiocarcinoma can be detected.
Objective To estimate the prevalence of suspected Cholangiocarcinoma as well as its associated factors.
Method These reported results were obtained from the baseline screening for Cholangiocarcinoma as of July 2013 of an ongoing project the Cholangiocarcinoma Screening and Care Program conducted in Northeastern Thailand. Participants were northeasterners who were at least one of the followings: 40 years or older, ever been infected with liver fluke, ever been treated with praziquantel, or ever been consumed raw fresh water fish. Ultrasonography was done by well-trained medical radiologists.
Result Of the total 1,196,685 participants, 58.9% were females with a mean age of 58.2 (standard deviation ± 9.9) years. Suspected Cholangiocarcinoma was found in 15,186 (2.6%; 95% CI: 2.56 to 2.65) individuals. The results observed that the participants with higher age group had high association as compared to younger age group (AOR=1.98; 95% CI: 1.77 to 2.21; p-value < 0.001), hepatitis B infected participants were highly significant as compared to the non- hepatitis B infected (AOR=1.22; 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.39; p-value = 0.002) and participants having Hepatitis C were also significantly associated with Cholangiocarcinoma infection (AOR=1.46; 95% CI: 1.04 to 2.05; p-value = 0.029) based on ultra-sonographic screening respectively. However, patients having diabetes were less likely to be associated with Cholangiocarcinoma (AOR=0.87; 95% CI: 0.81 to 0.93; p-value < 0.001).
Conclusion About one out of a hundred cases required further investigations such as Magnetic resonance imaging or Computed Tomography. Early age of ultrasonography screening for Cholangiocarcinoma enhanced the opportunities for early detection of Cholangiocarcinoma and might reduce irrational requests for expensive or invasive methods of diagnosis.

Published: April 2023

Background Dental caries is considered as the most prevalent oral disease in Nepalese population that frequently needs endodontic therapy or root canal treatment (RCT). Pulp infection is one of the most common sequels of dental caries which when left untreated leads to pulpal necrosis and peri-radicular diseases. Patients usually reports to the dental hospital after there is pain, sensitivity, swelling or fracture of the tooth structure which usually impedes their normal routine of daily life. RCT is one of the efficacious therapeutic procedures that can save the teeth retaining its aesthetics and function.
Objective To determine the need of RCT among patients attending Tertiary Care Hospital.
Method A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted in the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics over the period of one year from April 2019 to April 2020. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences. In total, 7566 records of the patients that needed endodontic therapy and other treatments were collected and the need of endodontic therapy versus other treatments were assessed. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS version 20. The association between various patient-related variables were calculated by chi square test and mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentage were calculated using descriptive statistics. P value was set at < 0.05 for statistical significance.
Result Among the total study population, (n=7566), the mean age was 34.97±14.34 years among which 4387 (58%) were females and 3179 (42%) were males. The type of treatment required by the study participants were significantly associated with age and sex (p < 0.001) and p < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusion The findings of this study concluded that there was an increased need for endodontic therapy among patients visiting the department compared to other treatments. There was a significant association between gender and age showing females and elderly patients in greater need for endodontic therapy.

Published: April 2023

Background The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread worldwide since its first recorded case in the city of Wuhan, China, in December 2019. SARS-CoV-2 infection causes asymptomatic to sever pneumonia. Severe cases may develop acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS), with an average mortality rate of 6.9%. Real Time Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) assay is the current reference standard laboratory method for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, it takes around 6-8 hours to get the result and is time consuming. Therefore, rapid and accurate tests for SARS-CoV-2 screening are essential to expedite disease prevention and control. Lateral flow immunoassay using monoclonal anti SARS-CoV-2 antibodies which target for SARS-CoV-2 antigen can be complimentary screening test if their accuracy were comparable to that of the real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay.
Objective To find the sensitivity and specificity of a rapid antigen test kit in comparison to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Method A cross-sectional hospital based study was carried out at Shree Birendra Army Hospital, Kathmandu for a period of four months.
Result Our finding shows sensitivity and specificity of rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) Ag kit as 60.6% and 96.4% respectively. Positive and negative predictive value was 83.7% and 89.0%. Likewise, positive and negative likelihood ratio was 17.0 and 0.4. The overall accuracy of the antigen kit was 88.1% in comparison to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as the gold standard.
Conclusion Our study concluded the use of rapid antigen kit is mainly useful for screening purposes.

Untuk dapat mengetahui dan mendeteksi jenis dan tingkat kerusakan bearing pada motor induksi dapat dilakukan dengan menganalisis sinyal getarannya. Pada penelitian ini, akan dianalisis jenis kerusakan bearing yang diakibatkan oleh kerusakan lokal atau yang terdistribusi ditunjukan oleh adanya getaran dengan frekuensi tertentu yang muncul. Sedangkan tingkat kerusakan yang umumnya diketehui dari besarnya ampitude getarannya. Metode yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi kerusakan bearing adalah dengan mengukur karakteristik getaran mengunakan sensor accelerometer dan menggunakan analisis wavelet berbasis labview, dalam domain waktu maupun domain frekuensi yang terjadi pada arah putaran radial. Percobaan untuk mengetahui spektrum getaran akibat kerusakan bearing pada motor induksi dengan cara dimodifikasi atau sengaja dirusak pada bearing tersebut. Analisis perbandingan getaran antara bearing yang berkondisi baik dan yang dibuat cacat pada bagian inner race, outer race dan ball bearing secara bertingkat sehingga dapat ditentukan jenis dan tingkat kerusakan pada bearing tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa sinyal vibrasi yang dihasilkan dari getaran bearing yang baik mendekati harmonik (sinusoidal), sedangkan yang rusak sinyal getarannya berbentuk stokastik (random). Untuk menentukan jenis kerusakan inner race, outerrace dan ball bearing harus disinkronkan antara frekuensi getaran dan perhitungan yang berdasarkan data aquisi dari parameter bantalannya, yaitu diameter lintasan innering dan outering, jumlah ball bearing dan putaran poros.

Purpose:The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting high number of individuals requiring hospitalization has caused health care systems worldwide to alter hospital policies and procedures. This study examined how changes in hospital operations between March 2020 and March 2021 affected physiotherapists’ roles and responsibilities in Ontario, Canada.Method:Between February and March 2021, we conducted a cross-sectional study using an online survey of physiotherapists employed in acute care and rehabilitation hospitals.Results:Among 230 respondents, 82 (35.7%) reported being redeployed at some point during the study period to new settings or areas of practice. Physiotherapists typically working in outpatient settings were the most likely to be redeployed (63.3%), with 62.9% of respondents reporting caring for COVID-19 patients. Among 37.1% of respondents reporting undertaking new responsibilities (e.g., personal support work, nursing, infection control), 72.0% reported being confident in their abilities; however, only 49.4% felt adequately trained.Conclusions:Hospital-based physiotherapists in Ontario, Canada took on a variety of traditional and non-traditional responsibilities during the first year of the pandemic. Although confident in their abilities, feelings of being inadequately trained highlight the need for improved processes when taking on new responsibilities to support delivery of patient care and physiotherapists’ well-being.

Published: April 2023

El lupus eritematoso neonatal (LEN) es una patología autoinmune muy infrecuente, que ocurre en neonatos de madres que presentan auto-anticuerpos para antígenos citoplasmáticos del Síndrome de Sjögren. En la mayoría de los casos, la evolución es benigna hacia la resolución espontánea, pero existe un grupo de pacientes que desarrollan compromiso severo del tejido de conducción miocárdico, por lo que su detección oportuna es fundamental. Objetivo: Describir un caso clínico característico de lupus eritematoso neonatal y destacar la importancia del diagnóstico oportuno en madre y neonato. Caso Clínico: Mujer de 33 años, con antecedente de hipertensión arterial, consulta en dermatología por su neonato de 15 días de vida de sexo masculino, quien presenta aparición reciente de placas redondeadas, eritematosas, de bordes solevantados, no descamativas, compatibles con LEN. Se descartó compromiso de conducción miocárdica. En los exámenes del neonato destacaba neutropenia moderada, elevación leve de transaminasas y anticuerpos antiRo y antiLa positivos. En interrogación dirigida, la madre refiere historia personal de síntomas compatibles con enfermedades del tejido conectivo, tales como fatiga, alopecia y xeroftalmia. Se solicitan anticuerpos antinucleares a la madre, quien presenta título de 1/1280 con patrón moteado, anticuerpos anti Ro y La y anticuerpos anti-DNA doble hebra positivos, y Test de Schirmer compatible con ojo seco, por lo que se diagnostica Lupus Eritematoso Sistémico con Síndrome de Sjögren asociado. Se realiza seguimiento al lactante por 5 meses con remisión de los signos cutáneos y normalización de los exámenes de laboratorio. Conclusiones: Si bien, las manifestaciones cutáneas de LEN son transitorias y benignas en el neonato, estas pueden ir acompañadas de complicaciones de riesgo vital que requieren una búsqueda activa y un manejo oportuno por el equipo médico. Un 25% de las madres de hijos con LEN son asintomáticas, o desconocen su diagnóstico de LES previo al parto, por lo que el diagnóstico oportuno de LEN en un neonato permite diagnosticar a las madres asintomáticas, optimizando su seguimiento y manejo.
