Authors: Albuainain Abdulrahman , Alhatlan Hatlan M. , Alkhars Wajeeha 
Published: February 2022

To report an adult with autosomal recessive Best vitelliform macular dystrophy with a new homozygous BEST1 mutation, the management of a cystoid macular edema with intravitreal aflibercept in the proband, and the findings in the parents, carriers of heterozygous BEST1 mutations. A 28-year-old female presented with blurry andreduced vision in her both eyes with bilateral vitelliform macular lesions. The patient's parents were also examined. Examinations included electrooculogram (EOGs), imaging studies, and BEST1 gene testing. Interventions included treatment with intravitreal aflibercept for both eyes. The patient presented with visual acuity of 20/20 OD 20/30 OS, RPE changes, multifocal subretinal yellowish deposits resembling vitelliform deposits and subretinal fluids. Cystoid macular edema developed after one month, causing vision reduction (20/28 OD 20/30 OS). Visual acuity recovered to 20/20 OU after serial intravitreal aflibercept injections. The proband showed subnormal EOG Arden ratios. Molecular testing showed the homozygous missense variant c.695T>G p. (IIe232Ser) In exon 6 of the BEST1 mutations and to the best of our knowledge, this variant, which was confirmed by conventional Sanger sequencing, has neither been annotated in databases nor been described in the literature so for (Human Genome Molecular Database 2018.1). In the heterozygous parents, EOGs were subnormal, and minimal autofluorescence changes were seen.

Clinical Relevance:
Prompt recognition and treatment of cystoid macular edema management effectively restore vision. Awareness and recognition of recessive inheritance permit correct diagnosis and counseling.

Authors: Soni Janaki , Jijina Parisha 
Published: February 2022

Background:
India has a large population of adolescents living in shelter homes. However, there is a scarcity of empirical literature on mental health promotion programs developed to suit their unique needs.

Aim:
The aim of this research was to design a need-based mental health promotion program for runaway and homeless adolescents living in a shelter home in Vadodara, India.

Methods:
To gain a holistic understanding into their mental health issues and felt needs, semi-structured interviews were conducted with these adolescents along with key stakeholders such as their care takers, counselors, and teachers. The key needs identified pertained to issues related to academics, reduction of substance abuse, anger management, and emotional regulation. On the basis of identified needs, a training program of 13 sessions was developed using indigenous technique of Yoga and techniques from literature of subjective well-being and life skills. Total sample included 35 male adolescents from 12 to 18 years of age. Participants were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 19) and control group (n = 16). Pre- and post-intervention assessment was performed using Academic Stress Scale, State Trait Anxiety Scale, Children and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure, and Children Depression Inventory.

Results:
The results indicated that trait anxiety was significantly reduced, and there was a significant increase in mindfulness in the intervention group. However, there was no significant improvement in depression and academic stress.

Discussion:
The observations from this study are detailed to sensitize researchers toward the design and delivery of mental health promotion programs for institutionalized youth.

Authors: Routh Dronacharya , Rao Pankaj P. , Sharma Aniket , Arunjeet K. K. 
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
It is often seen that surgeons face with a situation where he is asked to perform procedure which he has never done independently before. During such times traditionally surgeons refer to standard textbooks before he goes to perform the surgery. However, with increased awareness and use of social media, surgeons are increasingly taking resort of easily available YouTube videos.

Aim:
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of traditional textbook-based learning (TBL) with video-based teaching (VBT) for basic laparoscopic suturing skills training by comparing pre- and post-test cognitive and psychomotor skills.

Materials and Methods:
Randomized control trial.

Results:
A total of 50 residents were divided randomly into TBL and VBT groups. The mean post test scores for both the skills in each group showed a significant improvement compared to the pretest results (P < 0.001). While comparing the post test scores among both the groups it was seen that VBT is as effective as TBL.

Conclusion:
Based on this study we can safely conclude that video-based learning is an effective mode of learning as compared to TBL for teaching laparoscopic suturing skill.
Distribuição espacial de vermetídeos (Mollusca: Gastropoda) no Atol das Rocas, Atlântico Sul equatorial
Authors: Soares Marcelo de Oliveira , Meirelles Carlos Augusto Oliveira de , Lemos Valesca Brasil 
Published: February 2022

O Atol das Rocas é um recife biogênico localizado a 266 km do litoral do nordeste brasileiro. Sua estrutura carbonática é constituída por corais, algas calcárias, vermetídeos e foraminíferos. As espécies de vermetídeos analisadas são indicadoras do nível do mar e de paleoambiente intermaré ou imediamente submaré, o que as torna aptas a auxiliar na elucidação da história geológica do único atol do Atlântico Sul. Apesar da sua importância como bioconstrutores, existem poucos estudos enfocando a sistemática e a distribuição destes moluscos neste recife oceânico. Foram obtidos dados sobre as espécies, além da densidade e distribuição da tafocenose incrustante nos setores a barlavento e sotavento. As espécies Dendropoma irregulare (d’Orbigny, 1842) e Petaloconchus varians (d’Orbigny, 1841) foram reconhecidas em diferentes setores do sistema recifal, principalmente no setor a barlavento (0,26 ± 0,04 ind/cm2 century). Nos sistemas deposicionais com forte impacto de ondas, existe menor densidade de bioacumulação das conchas fossilizadas desses organismos (0,11 ± 0,02 ind/cm2 century).

Published: February 2022

This paper describes the avifauna sampled at Reserva Extrativista Chico Mendes, Acre, Brazil, during October and November, 2008. We recorded 344 bird species of 17 orders and 57 families through point counts, mist-nets and general observations. The most prevalent families were Tyrannidae, Thamnophilidae and Thraupidae with 53, 36 and 22 species, respectively. We recorded some range restricted, little know, and habitat specialists birds exemplified by Crypturellus atrocapillus, C. strigulosus, Primolius couloni, Aulacorhynchus prasinus, Drymophila devillei, Simoxenops ucayalae, Cnipodectes superrufus, Hemitriccus flammulatus, Percnostola lophotes, Xiphorhynchus chunchotambo, and Conioptilon mcilhennyi. Although we surveyed only during the dry season, the rarefaction curves indicate a satisfactory sampling effort. The data show that the Chico Mendes reserve holds a unique Amazonian bird community, which is influenced by the presence of bamboo and second growth vegetation. The results of this paper reinforce the biological importance of the RESEX and highlight the need for more inventories and bird studies at this isolated and little known region of the Brazilian Amazon.

A Role of Udumbara Ksheer Sutra in Ano Rectal Fistula: An Ayurvedic Review
Authors: Anup Kumar  , Suman Yadav  , Ashutosh Kumar Yadav  
Published: February 2022

Acharya Sushrut has involved Bhagandara among the Ashtamahagad (8 dreadful diseases). At first it is present as Pidika (boil/abscess) in Apakwa (non-suppurated) state, become Bhagandara when it becomes Pakwa (suppurated). As defined in modern science, it is associated with fistula in ano. An anal fistula is an abnormal track having an external opening in the perianal region and internal opening in the anal canal and/or rectum.
Ayurveda has a special approach to fistula management. All anal fistulas counter well to different forms of Kshar and Ksheer Sutra therapy. They are nothing but the medicated seton. The Ksheer sutra mechanical and chemical action of drugs coated on the thread work jointly to cut, cure, drain and clean the fistulous tract, thereby promoting track/wound healing. Though Bhrihattrayi, (chief three texts of Ayurveda) stated the use of Kshar Sutra, there is no proper description of their method of preparation. In eleventh century, Chakrapani Datta mentioned the preparation method of Ksheer sutra in his book Chakradatta for the first time which is indicated in Arsha and Bhagandara.
Apamarga Kshar Sutra is the standard Kshar Sutra, and but it has some disadvantages. A variety of other Kshar Sutra, as well as Ksheer Sutra, have been prepared to resolve these inconveniences of Apamarga Kshar Sutra. One of them is Udumbara Ksheer Sutra which was founded by Prof. P.J Deshpande and M.K Jalan in 1984. Udumbara is one among the Nyagradhadi Gana Dravya mentioned by Acharya Sushrut. He described in Bhagandara Chikitsa that the Nyagradhadi Gana Dravyas are Bhagandaranashak.

The SPIRIT AND LAMENT
Authors: Pranoto Minggus Minarto 
Published: February 2022

Abstract: This article aims to explain about lament from the perspective of psychology and pneumatology. Psychology helps to explain psychic state of one who laments because of experiencing grief and bereavement; and pneumatology understands lament theologically by seeing and knowing God, self, and the world through the experience with the Holy Spirit in the believers. The two perspectives above are synthesized to understand the lament in the context of the life of believer. The method used is an interdisciplinary study between psychology and pneumatology by looking for connecting points that might fill and complement each other, especially in explaining the lament of believer. The thesis of this article is that the act of lament is a self-actualization of believer which can be explained from a psychology-pneumatology perspective and in lament the Holy Spirit transforms the life of believer. Lamentation can lead to an attitude of trust in God and the courage to continue with life again or, in psychologically term, a "restoration-oriented” life.
Keywords: Spirit/Holy Spirit, lament, psychology, pneumatology, transformation.
Abstrak: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan perihal ratapan dari perspektif psikologi dan pneumatologi. Psikologi membantu untuk menjelaskan keadaan psikis orang yang meratap karena sedang mengalami kedukaan (grief) dan kehilangan (bereavement); dan pneumatologi memahami ratapan secara teologis dengan cara melihat dan mengenal Allah, diri, dan dunia melalui pengalaman dengan Roh Kudus. Kedua perspektif di atas disintesiskan untuk memahami ratapan dalam konteks kehidupan orang beriman. Metode yang dipakai adalah studi interdisipliner antara psikologi dan pneumatologi melalui mencari poin-poin penghubung yang mungkin saling mengisi dan melengkapi terutama dalam menjelaskan ratapan orang-orang beriman. Pernyataan tesis tulisan ini adalah tindakan ratapan merupakan sikap mengaktualkan diri dari orang beriman yang dapat dijelaskan dari perspektif psikologi-pneumatologi dan di dalam ratapan Roh Kudus mentransformasi hidup orang beriman. Ratapan dapat membawa kepada sikap percaya kepada Allah yang semakin mendalam dan berani melanjutkan kehidupan kembali atau istilahnya secara psikologi memiliki “restoration-oriented.”

Published: February 2022

Competitive advantage is considered as an element which is critical to achieve. This study argued that employee creativity is important for gaining competitive advantage. Likewise. the study also argued that leadership behavior play a significant role in developing creativity among employees. For the purpose of colleting the data three leadership behaviors which are supported by the literature in incorporating employee creativity for gaining competitive advantage have been chosen. The data for transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and autocratic leadership has been collected from the prior studies. The reliability and validity of the instrument has also been ensured and the data has been collected from department of Government housing programs in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah – UAE. The results of partial least square, structural equation modeling revealed that transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and autocratic leadership has a direct and significant positive impact over employee creativity as well as competitive advantage. The findings further ensured that employee creativity mediates the relationship between transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and autocratic leadership and competitive advantage. The findings have practical as well as theoretical significance. At the end some limitations and future recommendations are also mentioned.
