Authors: Dulina О. А. , Eskova Е. V. , Tarasenko А. D. , Kotova S. V. 
Published: June 2022

Objectives. The influence of the technological additive content and accelerated aging conditions on the surface energy and elastic-strength properties of nitrile butadiene rubbers with an average acrylic acid nitrile content and rubbers based on them were studied in the paper.Methods. The free surface energy of the samples was determined under the standard conditions and in the accelerated aging conditions with the use of the Owens, Wendt, Rabel, and Kaelble method.Results. It was shown that the elastomeric materials surface energy is influenced by surfactants such as rosin and stearic acid, which are typical ingredients of rubber compounds. It was also found that the thermal aging effect on the physical and mechanical properties of rubbers based on nitrile butadiene rubbers depends on the method of rubber isolation from latex and on the nature of the surfactant components in the samples.Conclusions. The analysis of the results obtained shows that the change in the vulcanizates physical and mechanical properties, depending on the technological additive content and the temperature effect, occurs along with a change in the critical surface tension.

Greetings!
Research develops several virtues: inquisitiveness, attention to detail, patience, critical thinking and a passion for knowledge. Research should also be relevant and timely. During the past few months, much more than at any period in our lifetime, there has been an explosion of studies, reviews, editorials, and other manuscripts released online or published in peer reviewed journals. Some have been released to the media prior to the actual publication of the complete research. The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred bogus, pseudo and ground-breaking research. But more than anything, the pandemic has motivated everyone to ask questions and to pay more attention to Science.
The Philippine Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery is committed to support all activities related to research. It hosts workshops on medical writing and sponsors the annual interesting case, descriptive, analytical and surgical technique-instrument innovation contests. Its journal, thanks to the indefatigable Editor-in-Chief Dr. Lapeña, publishes papers that contribute to the promotion and enhancement of the practice of otolaryngology. The Society is also grateful to all the contributors, board of editors and peer reviewers who contribute to the journal’s success. We look forward to working again with all of you in the upcoming issues.
Good reading to all!
Cerebro-Spinal Fluid Leak in Skull Base Reconstruction Using Hadad - Bassagasteguy Flap after Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery: A Case Series
Authors: Formalejo Jan Paul , Amable Jay Pee 
Published: June 2022

Objective: To determine the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak after Hadad[1]Bassagasteguy Flap (HBF) reconstruction after endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery for skull base pathologies from 2016 to 2020 at the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center.
Methods:
Design: Case Series
Setting: Tertiary Private Training Hospital
Participants: Charts of 35 patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery with reconstruction using Hadad-Bassagasteguy flap between January 2016 to February 2020 were reviewed and data on demographics, date of procedure, mass size, final diagnosis, presence of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative CSF leak, placement of lumbar drain and course in the wards were collected.
Results: There were 23 women and 12 men with ages ranging from 21 to 71 years. Four patients (11.4%) had postoperative CSF leak after reconstruction with HBF. Two of these four patients had episodes of nose blowing and sneezing weeks after surgery, prior to the development of the CSF leak. The other two patients experienced CSF leak 3 days postoperatively.
Conclusion: HBF has been a workhorse for reconstruction of skull base defects after transsphenoidal surgery, and based on our experience remains to be so, making it possible for expanded approaches and a wide variety of pathologies to be operated on via the endonasal route
Approach to a Sewing Needle in the Parapharyngeal Space: A Case Report
Authors: Bettadahalli Vishaka , Bhargava Rahul , Kumar Sunil 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT
Objective: To describe a unique situation of a sewing needle lodged in the parapharyngeal space and elucidate the problems encountered in its successful removal.
Methods:
Design: Case Report
Setting: Tertiary Private Hospital
Patient: One
Result: A 24-year-old male tailor accidentally swallowed a sewing needle that pierced the oropharyngeal wall and was wedged in the parapharyngeal space. After a thorough physical examination, 70 degree rod endoscopy, radiography and doppler ultrasonography and intraoperative C-arm X-ray for intraoperative localization and as a guide for extraction all yielded less than optimal guidance. Although an intra-oral approach was initially taken, the transcervical approach provided the best access.
Conclusion: Removal of a sharp foreign body in the parapharyngeal space should be considered a surgical emergency owing to its close proximity to vital structures and the potential for serious complications. Identifying the exact location may require a variety of imaging modalities, and foreign body extraction may entail multiple surgical approaches.

Authors: Shekhawat Mahipal Singh , Narang Ankit , Singh Ankit 
Published: June 2022

Background: To find a correlation between serum cholesterol and Bone mineral density in post menopausal women
Methods: The experimental group consisted of 100 females at postmenopausal age, in which by the DEXA method was diagnosed osteoporosis while the control group consisted of 100 females in a postmenopausal age but without diagnosed osteoporosis who served as controls.
Results: Postmenopausal women in the BMI range 18.5 to 25 (normal)were only included in the study. Others were excluded from the study to avoid confounding factors. The mean BMI in women with osteoporosis was 22.03±1.54 kg/mt2 and in Group-II was 21.09±2.12 kg/mt2. The results were statistically insignificant. Analyzing the average values of serum cholesterol in our study,we found that the mean cholesterol level in group-I was 216.32 ±33.12 mg/dl and 182.32 ±52.10 mg/dl in group-II. The mean cholesterol level was significantly higher in women with osteoporosis.
Conclusion: On the decrease in bone mineral density and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women influence many risk factors. Preventive strategies for development of osteoporosis should be initiated in women with elevated serum cholesterol levels.
Keywords: Osteoporosis, Menopause, Lipid Profile, BMI.
Development of An Electronic Referral Proforma from Paramedics to General Practitioners: A Delphi Study
Authors: Delardes Belinda , Chakraborty Samantha , Smith Karen , Bowles Kelly-Ann 
Published: June 2022

Introduction Currently, non-transported patients who are attended to by a state-funded ambulance service in Victoria and are advised to visit their general practitioner (GP) do not have informational continuity of care, as there is no communication between the referring paramedic and GP. This research aimed to develop a functional electronic referral (e-referral) proforma from paramedics to GPs that can be used to support handover of patients’ clinical information for non-transported patients. Methods Paramedics, GPs and digital health experts were invited to participate in the study. The study design utilised an online Delphi technique, where participants responded to three rounds of surveys relating to the pertinence, feasibility, content and presentation of an e-referral tool. Questions were open-ended or requested responses on a 5-point Likert scale. Results A total of 21 clinicians participated in the study and developed an e-referral proforma. After three rounds, participants agreed the proforma should contain the following information: the patients’ identifying information, presenting complaint, social concerns, vital sign survey, management or advice given to the patient and reason for referral. Stakeholders stressed that the mode and timing of delivery must be flexible enough so that implementing the e-referral proforma does not become burdensome for clinicians. Conclusion A structured e-referral system between paramedics and GPs is feasible and offers a method to improve informational continuity of care and in turn, patient safety.
Detection of LBW Newborn by Measuring Chest Circumference
Authors: Uddin Mohammed Jamal , Hoque Md Mahbubul , Nazia Sahifa , Chowdhury Abu Sayeed , Khanam Morsheda 
Published: June 2022

Background: Birth weight is the most sensitive and reliable indicator of child survival and the health of the community. Anthropometric measurements have been proposed as surrogate for birth-weight. These include the chest, head and mid upper arm circumferences of the newborn. In most studies done so far chest circumference has the highest sensitivity followed by head circumference, mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) and foot length to identify LBW newborn . Chest and Head circumference is used to identify LBW newborn in developing country.
Objectives: Detection of LBW newborn by measuring chest circumference.
Methods: Two hundred term and preterm newborns were taken. All measurements were taken within 0-48 hours of delivery. Babies were weighed naked by electronic weighing scale (Tronix pediatrics weighing scale- 4800) to the nearest 20 gm. Chest circumference were measured at the level of nipple at the end phase of expiration with the help of a flexible non-stretchable tape to the nearest of 0.1 cm. The best cutoff point of chest circumference for detecting low-birth-weight <30.5 cm at low risk (who are low birth weight) and lower cut-off points of <29.5 cm at higher risk (who are very low birth weight) were taken as working definition. Results: This study showed the prevalence of low birth-weight was 65% and the mean birth weight was 2478±700 gm. This study also showed that 39.5% percent were term babies. Chest circumference has significant correlation with birth weight (r-0.765). It is also observed that newborns with chest circumference <30.5 cm the chance of low birth weight is 96.2% and when chest circumference will be >30.5 cm 92.6% of them will not be low birth weight.
Conclusion: This study showed that in absence of a weighing scale, simple measurement like chest circumference may be the best indicator to identify newborns with low birth weight (<2500 gm). Chest circumference has significant correlation with birth weight and it is an indicator to identify LBW neonates.

Authors: Florence J. R. , Priyadharsini S. S. , Chandran G. S. 
Published: June 2022

The present work analyses sensor based classification and evaluation methods for the evaluation of churna. The churna is a powdered form of Siddha medicine. The churna is evaluated based on organoleptic and physicochemical parameters. The organoleptic parameters such as color and physicochemical parameters such as moisture content value and pH value are analysed in this work. The proposed methodology facilitates the development and integration of hardware and software modules for churna identification and classification. The proposed hardware setup comprises Raspberry pi camera, color sensor, moisture sensor and pH sensor interfaced with raspberry pi 3b. Churnas are discriminated by classifying the color values using machine learning algorithms such as the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) classifiers separately. The experimental results depict that the performance of the RF Classifier excels the SVM Classifier in churna name identification with greater accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.

Authors: Ali Mohammad , Jahan Kazi lsrat 
Published: June 2022

The laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the gold standard for the treatment of benign gall bladder disease, which is associated with an increased incidence of biliary injuries. These types of injuries are multicausal, and anatomical variations or anatomical perception errors are the most common risk factors. Iatrogenic bile duct injuries are complex alterations and constitute one of the most serious complications of a cholecystectomy and require a comprehensive approach, proper drainage and timely referral to adequate treatment to improve long-term prognosis. Reconstruction and treatment techniques have been evolving. The selection of adequate treatment will impact on the patient, s quality of life.

Authors: Sultana Nasreen , Sultana Sharmin , Ahmed Fakhruddin , Ullah SK Ashraf 
Published: June 2022

Background : Adolescence is particularly a transition period of human development which has profound influence on a person’s future. In Bangladesh adolescents usually gather their knowledge about reproductive health from their family and surroundings and therefore their knowledge remains incorrect and insufficient. Government increases the provision of schooling for girls but there is no provision of sex education.
Objective : To assess the knowledge of adolescent girls about pregnancy and antenatal care.
Methods : A cross sectional study was done during the period of January ’15 to June ’15 among 143 students of class 1X and X of 2 rural private schools of Rupganj and Narayanganj. Simple random sampling method was applied for enrolling the study population and data was collected by interview method using pretested questionnaire. Finally, data was analyzed by SPSS version 17.
Result : Most of the respondents had average knowledge about pregnancy and antenatal care. Nearly three-forth (61.5%) of the respondents had incorrect knowledge about pregnancy period and majority (76.3%) do not know about the correct mother’s organ for developing baby during pregnancy. Maximum respondents (95%) had good knowledge about extra care of a pregnant mother. Although 74.8% mentioned about TT vaccination of a pregnant mother but majority (65%) did not know detail about the vaccines’ dose and schedule. Statistically significant difference found in knowledge on pregnancy and antenatal care among married and unmarried girls. (P=<0.05)
Conclusion : Knowledge of adolescent girls about pregnancy and ANC was average in our rural area.

Published: June 2022

Background : In Bangladesh about 67% of under-five mortality is neonatal mortality. One of three major causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality is septicemia. Recently there is increasing incidence of multidrug resistant neonatal organisms which is alarming.
Objective : The aim of this study was to see the bacteriological profile and drug sensitivity pattern of neonatal septicemia.
Methods : This prospective observational study was done in Dhaka Shishu (children) Hospital over one-year period from June 2018 to May 2019. The admitted neonates were suspected as neonatal septicemia considering the risk factors, clinical profile and investigations (CBC, CRP etc.). Blood from all suspected neonatal septicemia cases were sent for culture and drugs sensitivity along with others necessary investigations. Then data was analyzed with SPSS version-20.
Results : Among the suspected cases only 111(10%) patients were culture positive. Preterm were 77(69%) and term 34(31%). One hundred six cases (95%) had sepsis with gram negative organisms and 5(5%) had sepsis with gram positive organisms with more predominant of Klebsiella (76,68%) followed by Acinetobacter (16,14%), Pseudomonas (6,5%), Escherichia coli (3,3%). Majority 80 (72%) cases had Early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS). Klebsiella (57, 51%) was more common organism followed by Acinetobacter (11,10 %) causing EONS and in late onset neonatal sepsis (LONS), similar type of causative organism were found. Ampicillin, Gentamicin and Ceftazidime were mostly resistance to gram negative organisms - 104(94%), 99(89%) and 93(84%) respectively. Besides these, Amikacin (104,94%), Imipenem (85, 77%) and Ciprofloxacin (73, 66%) were more resistance. Klebsiella in 17 cases and Acinetobacter in 4 cases were resistant to all commonly used antibiotics.
Conclusion : Klebsiella followed by Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas are now common pathogens of neonatal septicemia found in this study. Ampicillin, Gentamicin and Ceftazidime are more resistant to most of the organisms causing neonatal sepsis. Imipenem is alarmingly resistant. In 19% cases, the organisms are resistance to all commonly used antibiotics.
