ABSTRACT
Objectives: To assess physiotherapy knowledge and experiences among pregnant females in antenatal care culture meanwhile aims to raise awareness about importance of physiotherapy in antenatal care.
Methodology: This study was cross sectional .After the approval from IRB SMDC subjects were recruited using convenient sampling. Study setting was gynecology department of Shalamar hospital Lahore. Written consent form and study description was provided to each participant. After giving complete description of study data and signing the consent information was recorded through in person interview with each subject using a self-administered questionnaire, it took 5-10 minutes with each subject. Online Google form was sent to pregnant women. The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS 25.
Results: With a response rate of 100% it was found that most of women (n=106 79.1%) knew about physiotherapy, but knowledge and awareness of antenatal physiotherapy and its benefits were fairly low (n=46, 34.1%. Prevalence of low back pain (n=112, 82.9%), urine leakage (n=48, 35.5%), and other musculoskeletal stresses were seen to be high among pregnant females. While there was little guidance (n=23, 17%) about antenatal physiotherapy and referral to physiotherapy (n=22, 15.07%) was also quite low.
Conclusion: Pregnant females had quite insufficient knowledge and experiences in antenatal physiotherapy. There is a need to educate masses about physiotherapy and its benefits in antenatal care. Appropriate measures should be taken to spread awareness and knowledge among pregnant females, families and health care providers for improvement of quality of life among pregnant females.

Background
Long COVID is new or ongoing symptoms at four weeks or more after the start of acute COVID-19. However, the prevalence and factors associated with long COVID are largely unknown in Malaysia. We aim to determine the proportion and factors associated with long COVID among COVID-19 patients in Port Dickson, Malaysia. The positive outcomes of our long COVID active detection initiative were also described.

Methods
This was a retrospective analysis of long COVID data collected by the Port Dickson District Health Office between 1 September 2021 to 31 October 2021. Monitoring long COVID symptoms was our quality improvement initiative to safeguard residents’ health in the district. The study population was patients previously diagnosed with COVID-19 who resided in Port Dickson. The inclusion criteria were adults aged 18 years and above and were in the fifth week (day 29 to 35) post-COVID-19 diagnosis during the data collection period. We called all consecutive eligible patients to inquire regarding long COVID symptoms. Long COVID was defined as new or ongoing symptoms lasting more than 28 days from the date of positive SARS-CoV-2 by polymerase chain reaction test. Binary multivariate logistic regression was conducted to determine factors associated with long COVID.

Results
Among 452 patients, they were predominantly male (54.2%), Malays (68.8%) and aged 18–29 years (58.6%). A total of 27.4% (95% CI [23.4–31.8]) of patients experienced long COVID symptoms and were referred to government clinics. The most frequent long COVID symptoms experienced were fatigue (54.0%), cough (20.2%), muscle pain (18.5%), headache (17.7%) and sleep disturbance (16.1%). Females, patients with underlying cardiovascular disease, asthma and chronic obstructive airway disease, those who received symptomatic care, and patients with myalgia and headaches at COVID-19 diagnosis were more likely to have long COVID. Three patients with suspected severe mental health problems were referred to the district psychologist, and ten patients with no/incomplete vaccination were referred for vaccination.

Conclusion
Long COVID is highly prevalent among COVID-19 patients in Port Dickson, Malaysia. Long-term surveillance and management of long COVID, especially among the high-risk groups, are needed as we transition to living with COVID-19.

Published: March 2023

Background
The subgenus Syrrhophus (genus Eleutherodactylus) contains >40 species of small, direct-developing frogs that occur at low to moderate elevations from Texas through Mexico and into Guatemala and Belize, with two species in western Cuba. Morphological conservatism and phenotypic convergence have made species delimitation challenging and resulted in a complicated taxonomic history. Since 2015, molecular systematic work has uncovered eleven new species from western Mexico and one from eastern Mexico, but current taxonomy still underestimates species level diversity and there is confusion surrounding the validity and boundary of several species.

Methods
We used phylogenetic analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences, multivariate statistical analysis of morphological data, and bioacoustic analysis of male advertisement calls to discover two additional unnamed species of Eleutherodactylus from Central and Western Mexico. We describe those species here.

Results
Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) humboldti sp. nov. is described from the Quaternary Valle de Bravo volcanic field of the Eje Neovolcánico in Central Mexico. This species is sister to E. maurus and is 3% divergent in 16S. Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) jamesdixoni sp. nov. is described from the Sierra Madre Occidental of western Mexico. This species is sister to E. nitidus and is 3% divergent. We provide color photographs, advertisement call recordings, and molecular diagnoses of these new species and their sister species to aid future workers.

Published: March 2023

Landslides, whether induced by nature, or human activities, are one of the most prominent disasters which are of great concern in the world. They cause a lot of havoc to the environment hence a necessity to avoid them whenever possible. This literature review is basically aimed at finding out how Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies are used in avoiding landslides and risks associated with them at different levels; Challenges encountered while using GIS and RS techniques for landslide disaster risk reduction are identified; and therefore, dealing with them requires the involvement of developed countries who have the capacity to provide the necessary equipment to the developing countries that are faced with disasters. This study discusses the use of GIS and RS in mitigation of risks from landslides, and mainly points out how these techniques are applied to avoid disaster risks. Secondary data was reviewed from journal articles, institutional reports, and online publications from similar studies. GIS and RS tools are important in predicting, monitoring and managing landslide disasters. It was concluded that GIS and RS tools provide cheaper, reliable, and faster techniques of accessing spatial data in a given area, therefore regarded as essential technologies that may be necessary for predicting landslide occurrences, these technologies need to be considered in communities which are prone to landslides.

Fipronil is a phenyl pyrazole insecticide, which is used as broad spectrum insecticide to control pest such as diamondback moth, thrips, stem borers, leaf folder, termites, borers, jassids, and bollworms. A study was undertaken at Rajasthan Agricultural Research Institute, Durgapura, Jaipur during Rabi, 2020 to find out the persistence of fipronil residues in the soil of cabbage field, when sprayed at its recommended dose (5% SC, 40 g. a. i. ha-1) and double of the recommended dose (5% SC, 80 g. a. i. ha-1). The samples were extracted with acetonitrile and cleaned up using a modified QuEChERS method and the residues were analyzed by Gas Chromatography. The residue level of fipronil in cabbage field soil collected at harvest time of cabbage crop were below the detectable level (BDL) at the recommended dose and double of the recommended dose, respectively.

Authors: Momoh Johnson Oshiobugie , Oshin Taiwo Toyin 
Published: March 2023

Background: Clerodendrum polycephalum Baker is used by the traditional people in southwest Nigeria for arresting bleeding from cuts and treating bacterial infections especially wound infection without scientific proof of its efficacy. The plant was investigated in animal models for its antidepressant activity in Swiss mice.
Methods: The GC-MS, phytochemical analyses, antioxidant activities, tail suspension test, forced swimming test and oxidative stress parameters were determined using standard procedures.
Results: A total of 27 compounds were identified consisting of five prominent compounds and 22 minor compounds. The five prominent compounds constitute 63.99% of the Clerodendrum polycephalum Baker plant. The five major compounds and their percentage abundance are: Bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane, 2,6,6-trime thyl- (21.36%), Squalene (18.69%), Neophytadiene (10.71%), 2-Tridecanol (6.66%) and 2-Dodecanol (6.57%). The phytochemicals present in the methanolic leaf extract of C polycephalum are: flavonoids, steroid, tannins, saponins, anthraquinones, alkaloids, terpenoids, anthocyanin, phenolic compounds and carbohydrate The extract has the ability to scavenge DPPH activity and it contains other components like: total proanthocyanidine (1.369±0.184), flavonoids (2.4%), β-Carotene (0.1336± 0.45 µg) and lycopene (0.0340±0.053µg/g). The antidepressant result showed robust and dose-dependent antidepressant-like activity of Clerodendrum polycephalum Baker. There are statistically significant (P<0.0001) reductions in the duration of immobility time both in the tail suspension and forced swimming test. Clerodendrum polycephalum extract produced significant (P<0.0001-0.0044) increase in total protein of the plasma, liver and kidney homogenate of the treated groups (Group C, D and E) compared to the untreated mice in group B. The level of antioxidant parameter such as catalase, and superoxide dismutase were significant increased (P<0.0001) and MDA values significantly reduce (P<0.0001-0.0014) in the treated groups administered with the extract and imipramine compared to the untreated mice in group B.
Conclusion: The results show that methanolic leaf extract of the Clerodendrum polycephalum Baker has potential antioxidant and antidepressant activities and further studies should be conducted to identify, isolate and evaluate its potential active compound responsible for such effect.
