Published: June 2022

Menstrual irregularities, acne, obesity are the most common reproductive health problems that adolescent girls are facing in present era. The most debilitating underlaying disorder that causes these problems is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Initially PCOS was related to infertility only but now it is clearly established that in many it starts with puberty and ends with menopause. The associated endocrine and metabolic abnormalities with PCOS play an important role in causing not only infertility but also put women at an increased risk of type II diabetes mellitus, chronic heart disease, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, hyperinsulinemia and obesity. So, it is very important to treat this condition not only from infertility point of view but otherwise also at the earliest to prevent the above-mentioned risks. Basti is one of the Panchakarma procedure in which medicine is administered in the form of Kwatha or Sneha through anal region or urinary or vaginal region. Basti chikitsa is the most effective treatments of Artavapvyapad. A 19yrs old female patient approached the OPD complaining of irregular menses, acne, obesity, hair fall and weakness. USG abdomen scan revealed as a PCOS. Patient took lots of allopathic treatment for it but didn’t get relief, so she wanted to take Ayurvedic treatment. Hence, she was treated as per Ayurvedic basic line of treatment of Aartavavyapad. She was administrated Sahacharadi tail basti for 7 days along with Chandraprabha vati and Aarogyavardhini vati. After such two cycles of Basti chikitsa from next month menses were regular. In follow up after 6 months all symptoms were subsided and scan revealed absence of PCOS. During this treatment patient did not report any negative effects suggesting progression of disease. An attempt has been made for successful management of PCOS in adolescence age to relieve her symptoms.

Genotyping of 64 children of the main group with combined with type 1 diabetes mellitus (type 1 diabetes) autoimmune diseases (autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) and/or celiac disease) and 135 pediatric patients of the comparison group with isolated type 1 diabetes mellitus was performed by predictor gene alleles not related to HLA: CT60 (+6230G>A) (rs3087243), c.49A>G (rs231775) of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4) gene, c.1858C>T
(rs2476601) of the tyrosine phosphatase lymphocyte (PTPN22) gene, a microsatellite repeat in exon 5 of the gene of non-canonical histocompatibility class I MICA molecules. In patients with combined AIT type 1 diabetes mellitus, an association was established between the c.49AA genotype (rs231775) and the A allele at the CT60 (+6230G>A) (rs3087243) loci of the CTLA4 gene with the risk of transient antibodies to gliadin. In all groups of patients, the MICA 5.1 STR allele prevailed. The presence of the MICA A5.1/ A5.1 homozygous genotype in patients with type 1 diabetes doubles (OR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.0003-4.5321, P = 0.0499) the risk of AIT development.

Authors: Kazlouskaya Z. A. , Hashenka T. A. , Kandratsenak J. G. , Martsinkevich T. M. 
Published: June 2022

Study of Venturia inaequalis (Cooke) Wint. polymorphism causing apple scab is due to the need to elaborate and implement breeding programs allowing to develop highly resistant apple varieties and systems of phytosanitary protection against the pathogen. The objects of research were 125 V.inaequalis monoisolates isolated in pure culture from the affected apple leaves of 31 varieties of various genetic and geographical origins, growing in the collection orchard of the Institute for Fruit Growing. The study aimed to define the morphological and genetic structure of apple scab pathogen populations. Differences between scab isolates were identified by the growth pattern and a complex of morphological characters that made it possible to divide them into three morphotypes. The study of the morphocultural characters of scab isolates made it possible to determine the diversity of isolated strains that will be used to
create artificial infectious backgrounds. The method of DNA fragment analysis of V.inaequalis monospore isolates using
SSR markers allowed to identify high allelic polymorphism in the population of the apple scab causative agent — 218
alleles were identified due to the presence of a sexual process in the pathogen’s life cycle. A high degree of genetic
diversity of the apple scab causative agent was identified both within the population and a group of strains isolated
from the same variety.

Background: The inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is typically the preferred implant for Peronei’s disease (PD) and malleable penile prostheses (MPPs) have been discouraged.
Objective: To share experience of malleable penile implant in younger patients at institute of kidney disease Peshawar in a developing country.
Materials and Methods: Total of 24 Patients were included in this study who underwent malleable penile prosthesis surgery from July 2017 till June 2020 were included. They all counseled thoroughly regarding procedure, success statistics, possible complications and post-operative follow up. During follow up any problem if occurred and satisfaction documented. Data analysis done with SPSS version 22.
Results: mean age of 31.7 (27-65) years were included. The most common etiology of ED was vasculogenic (n=10, 41.7%). The comorbidities found were diabetes mellitus and hypertension in 12.5% each (n=3), these patients had no comorbidities (n=18, 75%). The mean size of penile prosthesis was 11.79mm (ranged from 9.5-13mm). We had four patients (16.7%) with unconsummated marriage due to ED. The post-operative problems noted were penile numbness (n=4, 16.7%), retarded ejaculation (n=4, 16.7%), penile pain (n=3, 12.55), hematoma (n=1, 4.2%) and lower urinary tract symptoms (n=1, 4.2%).

Published: June 2022

Objective: In secondary peritonitis patients, optimal management after index laparotomy is poorly defined. Although an open abdomen or temporary abdominal closure with planned relaparotomy is used to reassess bowel viability or contamination severity, recent studies show that primary abdominal closure has comparable morbidity and mortality. The differences between Open Abdomen (OP) and Primary Closure (PC) after emergent laparotomy are examined in this study.
Material and Methods: A systemic review on open abdomen versus primary closure after emergency laparotomy for peritonitis from January 2017 to December 2021 were analyzed. This systemic review was conducted in the department of surgical Qazi Hussain Ahmad Medical complex, Nowshera, Pakistan with approval from the hospital ethical and research committee. The study enrolled 200 patients who met the eligibility requirements. A lottery method was used to divide the patients into two groups at random. Patients with secondary peritonitis requiring emergent laparotomy were identified (N = 200) using the Premier database at a quaternary level. Mannheim Peritonitis Index, lactate, and vasopressor requirement were used to perform propensity matching for PC (n = 100; 65%) or OA (n = 100; 35%). A total of 200 closely matched pairs (PC: OA) were examined.
Results: About 65 percent of the 200 women patients enrolled in the study had an emergency laparotomy (mean age of 52.2 years). Only one relaparotomy was performed on 100 (65.0%) of the (O.A) patients, while 35 (35.0%) had multiple reoperations. Overnight (4 pm–4 am) laparotomies had more temporary closures with O.A (35.0 percent OA vs. 65.0 percent PC, p = 0.05) than daytime laparotomies. Surgical subspecialties performed PC in 82.1 percent of laparotomies, compared to 35.0 percent (p 0.0002) of acute care surgeons. Postoperative complications and n-100 (65.0 percent vs. 35.0 percent, p = 0.0002), mortality (18.0 percent vs. 09.2 percent, p = 0.005), and a longer median length of stay (12 vs. 12 days p = 0.0001) were all higher in OA patients.
Conclusion: The study's systemic review revealed that compared to PC, the complications, mortality rates, and costs associated with OA were significantly higher. Given these findings, more research is needed to determine appropriate OA indications.

Authors: Suhadha Argo Galih , Julzarika Atriyon 
Published: June 2022

Sunda Strait’s geographical condition makes it experience many tectonic and seismic events. Deformation monitoring has been carried out with various methods ranging from terrestrial and non-terrestrial surveys. This study aimed to monitor the dynamics of deformation in the Sunda Strait region in 2019 using Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR). DInSAR principle analyzes the paired SAR images that have been co-registered with different acquisition times to detect changes along the sensor observation line to the target or Line of Sight (LOS). The SAR data used are Sentinel-1 acquisition on June 1, and October 23, 2019. The results show that the coherence value of the image pair is low due to differences in the phase and intensity values. The maximum uplift value is 0.54 m located in the West Lampung Regency, and the subsidence is −0.3 m in the Pesisir Barat Regency. Uplift results are located in various geological conditions and do not affect by seismic phenomena, whereas subsidence shows its location in the potential area of land subsidence. The dynamics of uplift and subsidence in the Lampung regency are mostly affected by the geological and land use conditions of the locations.
HIGHLIGHTS

DInSAR provides deformation measurements with a high level of data precision over a large area
The selection of image pairs is essential for analyzing ground deformation using DInSAR
Lampung Province has experienced uplift and subsidence in several locations
The dynamic of uplift and subsidence in the Lampung Province is mostly affected by the conditions of the geological and land-cover condition

Authors: Chan Mieowkee , Ooi Chiasiang 
Published: June 2022

Membrane reusability determines the economic sustainability of separation process. However, the reusability of membrane was deduced by the antifouling properties, while the actual reuse performance of membrane using palm oil mill effluent (POME) is rarely reported. This study investigates the reusability of nano-Fe3O4/PVDF (PVDF1) membrane for POME treatment. The chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solid (TSS) of permeate, molecular weight cut off (MWCO), pure water flux (PWF) and contact angle (CA) of membranes were also determined. Result showed that the neat membrane (PVDF0) and PVDF1 exhibited ~77°, ~342 L/(m2.h) and ~70°, 278 L/(m2.h) for CA and PWF, respectively, due to the small MWCO in PVDF1. The POME flux was maintained at ~16 L/(m2.h) in 5 cycles of filtration process. The COD rejection was higher for PVDF 1 compared to PVDF0, and PVDF1 showed consistent ~58 % COD and ~98 % TSS removal in all the cycles. The good performance of PVDF1 due to the presence of nano-Fe3O4, improved the membrane hydrophilicity and tailored the membrane pore size for POME treatment.
HIGHLIGHTS

Membrane reusability determines the economic sustainability of separation process
Nano-Fe3O4 improves the hydrophilicity of PVDF membrane
Nano-Fe3O4 tailors the pore size of PVDF membrane for POME treatment
POME flux was maintained at ~16 L/(m2.h) for 5 cycles of filtration process
The membrane can be reused for minimum 5 cycles with consistent COD and TSS removal

Authors: Osinowo Muritala , Willoughby Alexander , Dairo Oluropo , Ewetumo Theophilus , Kolawole Lawrence 
Published: June 2022

The Data Acquisition System (DAS) is an important equipment in measurement systems especially in weather monitoring and also very crucial in many areas such as agricultural, communication, transportation, sport and industrial processes. This work proposes a weather monitoring system based on an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller board. The microcontroller has the ability to monitor, record and display the information of atmospheric sensor parameters connected to its analogue and digital pins. The outputs of analogue sensors are connected to the microcontroller through separate ADC for sampling. An LCD attached to the microcontroller displays the measured parameters. For analysis, the data is stored in excel format and can be copied directly from microSD card. The DAS was tested and examined through intensive experimental work. The tables and plots obtained from the experiment for standardizing the sensors, it is clear that there is a close conformity between the data collected by the developed system and the existing standard systems. The need for extra cost baud rate and expensive third-party computer software for interfacing to download data from the logger have been eliminated. There is no need of internet for any linking or configuration. It is evident that the DAS is of better choice in terms of cost and maintenance. The system will be helpful in monitoring and recording of atmospheric parameters.
HIGHLIGHTS

Only a few weather monitoring stations in Nigeria are functioning as a result of the high cost, maintenance and repair services of imported DAS systems. Also, imported DAS devices are often not suitable for the tropical environment
Other problems include: proprietary software that lacks flexibility, the necessity for third-party software to extract data and difficulties in getting usable parts and unexpected changes in production designs
Developed DAS device offers a higher resolution compared to existing devices
Low-cost and flexible meteorological DAS system with ease of installation
Convenience in deployment for weather data acquisition and research purposes in relevant fields

Authors: Couto J Guilherme , McFadden Sonyia , McClure Patricia , Bezzina Paul , Hughes Ciara 
Published: June 2022

Interviews with radiotherapy (RT) stakeholders were completed across four European countries to identify the educational models used across Europe and how they affect competencies of Therapeutic Radiographers/Radiotherapists (TR/RTTs). The stakeholders identified the following educational models: Programmes below European Qualifications Framework (EQF) level 6 (EQF4 or EQF5) RT-only BSc programmes (EQF6)Multiple-specialism BSc programmes (EQF6)RT-only apprenticeships (EQF6)Multiple-specialism BSc followed by an MSc (EQF6→EQF7)Integrated masters (EQF7)RT-only pre-registration MSc (EQF7)‘Common trunk’ model (EQF6 or EQF7) Each educational model has its set of advantages and disadvantages, but most models can be used to achieve the same essential competencies of TR/RTTs. Some models showed weaknesses in their ability to develop adequate RT competencies (low EQF level, low RT-specific content). Regulating the standards of practice at national level ensures that essential competencies are developed across all course programmes, improving the care to RT patients.
Using Augmented Reality to improved understanding of the Carbon cycle
Authors: Huguet Carme , Pearse Jillian , Lozano-Tarazona Álvaro 
Published: June 2022

We designed an activity to improve students’ knowledge and understanding of the Carbon cycle, which is typically a difficult concept. We wanted users to understand what are the main Carbon repositories and how the element circulates, as well as how human activity is impacting it. Originally designed for an advanced biogeochemistry course on paper, it was later redesigned using augmented reality to reach a wider audience and increase accessibility to both specialized and nonspecialized audiences. The Carbon cycle was divided into 7 stations that will be placed throughout the university campus, and which can be accessed by anybody using an android smartphone. They can choose to complete the whole cycle and answer the activity’s questionnaire, or just browse freely. We expect that the activity will improve understanding of the Carbon cycle in a didactic, playful and non-threatening way, and motivate users to learn independently.
French-Spanish service learning as a pedagogical tool: an overview of the MIGPRO Project
Authors: Belenguer-Cortés Luz 
Published: June 2022

Abstract: This project (MIGPRO) aims to inspire and engage university students in a silent reality the world faces nowadays: migration. Through a collaboration between an NGO (The Red Cross - Castellón) and students from the Translation and Interpreting degree (Universitat Jaume I, Castellón, Spain), the main goal will be to use the pedagogical strategy of service learning. Specifically, glossaries and Spanish didactic tools are offered to The Red Cross - Castellón. Learning resources are co-created based on the refugees’ needs. As a consequence, the acquisition of language and culture mediation strategies is targeted. Furthermore, connections between students’ reactions and their (non-)existent migration background is established. Plans for a long-term project ⸺seeking to enroll all generations of students with French as a second language⸺ are devised. Keywords: Teaching tools; co-creation; language education; service learning.
