Background and Study Aim. Physical fitness and psychological well-being of student-athletes had decreased significantly and became the main problem in this study. This study aims to investigate the effect of virtual reality-based Tabata training to increase the level of physical fitness and psychological well-being through a mixed method.
Material and Methods. This study used a mixed method. The participants involved in this study were student-athletes (n=40) at Singaperbangsa Karawang University (Indonesia). Quantitative instruments used to measure physical fitness include 20 m shuttle run, 30 m sprint run, horizontal jump and leg dynamometer. While the qualitative instrument used to measure student-athlete perceptions through in-depth interviews for 30 minutes. Quantitative statistical analysis through IBM SPSS was used to find the mean and standard deviation. Independent samples t-test was used to test the difference in values between the experimental and control groups before and after the experiment. Meanwhile, the Paired samples t-test was used to investigate the effect of this training, both in the experimental and control groups. Qualitative statistical analysis was carried out qualitatively thematically, namely the results of in-depth interviews were coded and categorized into three themes.
Results. There were several finding in quantitative research. First, there was no difference in physical fitness or psychological well-being between the experimental and control groups before the experiment (p>0.05). Second, there were differences in the values of physical fitness and psychological well-being between the experimental and control groups after the experimental program (p<0.05). Third, there was a significant effect in the experimental group on the level of physical fitness and psychological well-being (p<0.05) and the control group also showed an effect on changes in physical fitness and psychological well-being but smaller than the experimental group (p<0.05). In Qualitative research, student-athletes provided positive perceptions about virtual reality-based Tabata training which was easy, efficient and effective, fun and encouraged them to be more active. Negative perceptions were not all student-athletes and universities were equipped with virtual reality facilities. It must carried out in a location or place that was completely safe or far from vehicles.
Conclusions. Our mixed study confirms that virtual reality-based Tabata training had positive effect to change the level of physical fitness and psychological well-being among student-athletes.

Published: April 2023

Background and the Study Aim. The study describes the association of blood types and physical fitness capability of physical education students.
Material and Methods. A non-parametric analysis was used in the study employing chi-square with the Cramer’s V analysis to provide the likelihood relationship between variables. Using the simple random sampling, there were 263 participants composed of 198 (75.3%) females and 65 (24.7%) males. The samples were all students from physical education subject with the age ranged from 17-34 years old.
Results. The finding showed that among the physical fitness capability of the PE students, only anaerobic and flexibility fitness have positive association to blood types. Further, anaerobic fitness has the likelihood to be more advantageous within the A blood type with 57.1%. While flexibility fitness is seen in blood type O with a likelihood association of 79.1%, A with 60.7%, and B 55.3%. Moreover, this implies that PE students’ physical fitness capability such as anaerobic and flexibility fitness are potentiality associated or related to blood types most specifically to “A” and “O.” Thus, in any fitness related physical activity, blood type must be considered in the selection process especially if instills high intensity exercises producing without oxygen and muscle range extension.
Conclusion. It has been concluded that physical fitness capability of an individual can be attributed or influenced by the type of blood he/she possesses. Thus, in the context of sports and dance competition that requires specific physical fitness level, it is recommended to consider blood types of a person.

The purpose of study is to determine the effectiveness of the influence of strength fitness on the development of motor abilities of high school students. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of secondary school No. 55 Kharkiv in several stages. During the study, two groups were created: experimental and control. The control and experimental groups included 10 boys of 10 grade each. In the control group, lessons were held on the module “Gymnastics” according to the thematic plan. And in the experimental group the lessons content included: strength fitness, stretching exercises and aerobic combinations. Special attention was paid to the preparation of muscles for performing the exercises of the main part of the lesson - strength training. Research methods: study, synthesis and comparative analysis of literature and other sources on the research issue; observation; questionnaires, diagnosis of well-being, activity, mood according to the WAM method, testing of motor readiness, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. According to the study results, in the experimental group was found a probable improvement in the state of activity by 11.3 points (p<0.01) and mood by 12.7 points (p<0.01). This indicates the positive impact of strength fitness exercises, modern music accompaniment and the corresponding load on these indicators. In the control group under the program of the variable module “Gymnastics” we observed an improvement in strength abilities such as flexion and extension of the arms in the abutment position by 3.8 (p<0.05). Indicators of motor abilities of students in the experimental group at the end of the trial had probable shifts towards improvement: shuttle run 4×9 m by 0.9 sec. (p<0.01), flexion and extension of the arms in the abutment position by 3.9 times (p<0.05), flexion and extension of the arms in suspension by 1.5 times (p<0.05), bent suspension by 7.4 sec. (p<0.001), jump in length from the place by 7.4 cm (p<0.05), flexibility (torso inclination) by 3.1 cm (p<0.001). Conclusions. The use of recreational fitness in physical education classes in high school students not only contributes to an increase in the level of motor abilities, but also improves the emotional state of students. Through a combination of physical education, aerobic exercise, stretching, strength fitness, breathing exercises, visualization, high school students noted an improvement in well-being, mood, and activity.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of the study is to study the statistical relationship between physical fitness and functional capabilities of girls – future officers at the stages of training at the military academy. Materials and methods. The research subjects were 108 girls who started studying at military academies at the beginning of the experiment; their age ranges from 17 years and 3 months to 18 years and 5 months. The experiment took place over four academic years with the participation of the same girls. The main means of obtaining data were pedagogical testing and diagnosis of physiological characteristics, which took place every year. Results. Every year there is a weak but statistically significant dependence of changes in the general physical fitness of girls on changes in their functional capabilities. At the same time, with each new year of study, this dependence only increases. Changes in general physical fitness depend somewhat more on changes in functional capabilities than on special ones. The latter is characterized by a tendency towards a slightly greater dependence in the 2nd and 4th years of study, compared to the results in the 1st and 3rd years. Conclusions. Data from sources of information prove the need to take into account the results obtained in practical activities regarding the dependence of physical fitness on the functional capabilities of those who perform physical activity. This will contribute to increasing the effectiveness of the organization and the content of girls’ physical activity in solving the defined tasks of professional training at the military academy.

Background: This study was done to determine the prevalence of computer vision syndrome and associated ocular morbidity in a tertiary care hospital.
Methods: A cross sectional observational study was conducted on 673 patients based on the inclusion criteria. The patients were asked to fulfil the computer vision syndrome survey form 3 and OSDI questionnaire. Spontaneous eye blink rate, Schirmer’s test 1, tear break up time, refraction were performed for these patients. Data was collected and analysed by SPSS software.
Results: The prevalence of computer vision syndrome was 73% with 294 males and 206 females. The mean age of the patients was 30.29 years. Most of the participants were between 21-30 years. The screen time for most of the study participants (59.80%) came out to be >6 hours/day on average. The chief complaint of majority patients was blurred vision and asthenopia whereas the secondary complaint was watering and headache. Maximum patients (38.20%) from our study were students and competitive exam aspirants followed by teachers and software engineers. The screen modality used by 34.20 % patients was mobile phones > laptops. The mean SEBR was 13.50 minutes. The mean OSDI was 17.44. The screen time was significantly correlated to SEBR (p<0.0001). Also the screen time and OSDI correlation came out to be significant (p<0.0001).
Conclusions: The present study revealed a significantly high prevalence of CVS among our patients. The ocular symptoms are predominantly affecting the convergence power of eyes and tear film instability causing blurred vision and dryness.

Authors: Pratikto Bella Christie , Suryana Ketut 
Published: April 2023

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening hyperglycemic crisis. DKA rarely presents with hypernatremia, so it is not a common case. We report an unusual case of a 47-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) admitted with blood glucose 654 milligrams/deciliter and serum sodium 147 millimoles/liter. Patient was transferred to ICU for further management. Patient was given initial bolus of normal saline and switched to D5-1/4 saline for correction of hypernatremia along with insulin therapy. The patient gradually recovered. This report reminds us about how we choose the right treatment to correct the hypernatremia in patient with DKA and also reminds that monitoring the electrolyte levels in hyperglycemia is relevant in the management of diabetes.

Gastric cancer is the malignant neoplasm in which gastric resection is the only viable strategy for long-term survival. Gastric carcinoma typically does not produce symptoms, therefore presenting as either advance or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. The most common early symptoms tend to be abdominal pain and weight loss. Adequate surgical resection is the only curative therapeutic option in patients with resectable gastric cancer. We present the case of a 66-year-old male patient who initially presented with abdominal pain and one episode of gastrointestinal bleeding, for which an endoscopic biopsy was conducted which reported intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma. Subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth II anastomosis was then performed without reported complications. Patient remains asymptomatic 3 months following the surgical intervention in surveillance with ambulatory care.

Published: April 2023

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare and in adult accounts for only 1-3% of all malignant soft tissue tumors. The most frequent sites of origin is within head and neck area. One of the least common sites is the retrorectal-presacral space. This case of 61 years old female is probably the fifth well-documented case of primary abdominopelvic RMS. She presented with abdominal distensions, obstipation, vomiting for 5 days. Excision of the gut wall along with soft tissue mass was done and sent to our department for histopathological examination. On microscopic examination, a diagnosis of malignant mesenchymal tumor with closest resemblance to RMS was made. It is a rare case and needs to bring in notice as there is very few information regarding intraabdominal RMS. This case initially thought to be metastasis from gynecologic malignancy. It is important for pathologists, gynecologists and radiologists to recognize RMS as differential diagnosis of masses arising in abdomen and pelvis.

Erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) is a rare cutaneous disease characterized by polycyclic lesion simulating urticarial papules that enlarge centrifugally with central clearing and trailing scales. . It is classified as a reactive erythema and has been associated with various underlying conditions, including malignancies. Diagnosis is established on history, clinical features, and supporting examination. No treatment seems to be effective for this disease and there is still a lack of consensus regarding the best approach. Current choices are focused on treating the underlying subjective complaints. We reported a case of erythema annulare centrifugum in a 49 year old female patient.

Sandifer syndrome (SS), a movement disorder which is characterised by spasmodic torsional dystonia with back arching and rigid opisthotonic posturing, negatively impacting predominantly the neck, back, and upper extremities. Symptomatic gastro-esophageal reflux disease, esophagitis, or the presence of a hiatal hernia are all associated with Sandifer syndrome. The cause of Sandifer syndrome being uncertain, lifestyle adjustments and modifications highlights as the appropriate mode of treatment. To treat the condition and help relax the baby after feeding, dietary changes or medications can be administered. The case report of a patient with Sandifer Syndrome is considered for observation. Upon arrival, the child was stable, and an Electro-encephalogram (EEG) test revealed nothing abnormal. The child was taking several Anti-epileptic drugs (AED’s), which were stopped in favour of Sodium valproate and Pyridoxine. An opinion from a Gastro-enterologist was sought in light of the epilepsy and possible Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), and they suggested a milk scan. Rantac was then started, and breastfeeds were thickened. Milk can indicate mild GERD and a reduction in episode frequency. So, sodium valproate was discontinued. Haemodynamically stable child was discharged from the hospital with Pyridoxine and Carnisure. Studies shows most cases of SS improve over time, within the first 24 months in general.

Published: April 2023

Background: Thyroid nodules are common problems encountered in our routine practice. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the most accurate and cost-effective method for evaluating thyroid nodules. It is the procedure of choice for identifying patients who require surgical excision.
Methods: This is a retrospective single-center observational study in Salmaniya Medical Complex, a tertiary care center, in Kingdom of Bahrain that aims to to correlate preoperative FNAC results with the post-surgical histopathology report, and to compare our diagnostic performance results to previously published literature.
Results: The post-operative histology was reported as benign in 62% of patients and malignant in 38% of patients. Bethesda II was the most common category in our sample, with 14.3% having a final histopathological diagnosis of malignancy (false negative results). Malignancy was found in 84% and 96.8% of Bethesda V and VI, respectively. Our FNAC data achieved an 80.95% sensitivity, specificity of 93.51% specificity, and a total accuracy of 87.86%. The positive predictive value was 91.07%, and an 85.71% negative predictive value, which were comparable to data from published series.
Conclusions: FNAC remains the most accurate and cost-effective method for evaluating thyroid nodules. However, its diagnostic value varies among different institutions. Our results demonstrated higher rates of malignancy compared to other published series in both category I and II. Due to the chance of false negative rates in these categories and the slow-growing nature of thyroid malignancy, it is important that patients with benign FNAC should have periodic clinical and radiological follow up.

Published: April 2023

Background: Intestinal obstruction is one of the more challenging emergency that a general surgeon can come across. However, mortality ranges from 3% with simple obstruction to as much as 30% when there is vascular compromise/perforation of the obstructed intestine, despite improvements in diagnostic tools, fluid and electrolyte correction immediately, effective antimicrobials, and surgical therapy.
Methods: There were 50 cases of intestinal obstruction studied from October 2020 to October 2022 at MVJMC&RH (Rural Bangalore) and relevant investigations were sent and operative procedures were performed and data was collected.
Results: In this study, intestinal obstruction is more common in the age group of 30-60 year. Male and female are nearly in equal ratio. Small bowel obstruction is more common. Pain abdomen and abdominal distension was the most common presentation. Most common etiological factor is postoperative adhesions. Malignant obstruction is more common in large bowel. Most common operation performed was resection-anastomosis. The mortality in intestinal obstruction is high in individuals who developed strangulated/perforated bowel, those present beyond 72 hours and in those are having pre-existing associated diseases and elderly people.
Conclusions: Intestinal obstruction remains still a common and important surgical emergency. Obstruction due to adhesions increasing in incidence due to increased abdominal & pelvic surgeries. The obstruction due to external hernias decreasing due to early elective surgeries. The morbidity and mortality depends on the age of the patient, etiology of obstruction, site of obstruction, state of hydration, viability of the bowel, delay in diagnosis and surgical intervention and associated medical illness.
