Published: November 2022

In the 1st millennium BCE Sri Lanka was central to the wide-spanning trading networks in the Western Indian Ocean region. Population agglomerations grew on the coast and further inland, where Anuradhapura emerged as the major central place. Parallel agglomerations formed in the south in Tissamaharama and in the north on Jaffna Peninsula in Kantharodai. The site of Kantharodai on the northern tip of Sri Lanka is the largest known early historic mound site on the Jaffna Peninsula, thought to represent the ancient centre of the region. The Early Historic occupation of Kantharodai began ca. 400-100 BCE. In our study we focus on the older historic occupation phase at Kantharodai, represented by a rich midden deposit of domestic refuse that offer insights into the environmental conditions faced by early occupants of the site and their modes of subsistence. We provide a glimpse into the subsistence strategies of the earliest settled population in Kantharodai who augmented a diet based on domesticated livestock through multiple wild species from forests, swamps, mangroves and marine habitats. Based on the faunal evidence from early Kantharodai, this complex socio-economic structure appears to have been in operation, confirming proposed models of mixed economies in operation in the Early Historic period of the region.

Myofascial pain syndrome caused by damage to the paravertebral muscles is considered as one of the causes of chronic back pain. At the same time, there is not enough information about the condition of the paravertebral muscles, and it is contradictory.The aim of the work is to elucidate the presence and severity of structural and functional changes in the paravertebral muscles and their role in the development of chronic nonspecific pain in the lower back in women.Material and methods. Morphological, immunohistochemical examination of a muscle tissue biopsy was performed in 17 patients aged 24 to 59 years (average age — 41.5 ± 12.1 years) with CNS (average duration of pain syndrome 10.0 ± 6.9 months) caused by myofascial pain syndrome, as well as determination by gel electrophoresis of the isoform composition of giant sarcomeric proteins titin and nebulin.Results. Morphological examination revealed no signs of necrosis, proliferation of connective and adipose tissue, inflammatory infiltration. The transformation of the myosin phenotype in the direction of an increase in the proportion of “fast” type II muscle fibers was revealed in the biopsies of the patients’ muscles. A decrease in the content of giant titin and nebulin proteins associated with myosin and actin in the sarcomere was also found.Conclusion. The data obtained indicate a violation of the contractile function of the paravertebral muscle in CNS.

The Communication Success Screener (COMSS): a pilot study of perceived communicative success across modalities, environments, and demands.
Authors: Gallée Jeanne , Tilton-Bolowksy Victoria E. , Stark Brielle C 
Published: November 2022

Background: Behavioral intervention targeting speech, language, and communication concerns is an established therapeutic approach for patients with either acute or progressive communication concerns across a range of acquired neurogenic disorders. The multidimensional factors that contribute to a person’s self-identified communication challenges and strengths in their daily communication needs must be considered to provide functional and person-centered care. While many assessments grounded in clinician observation or client self-report have been developed to capture communication impairments, there is a direct need for a screening tool that comprehensively evaluates the roles of modality (verbal, text, gesture) and environment (in- person, virtual) on self-reported success across communicative demands.Aims: We describe and validate an approach to monitoring the progression of receptive and expressive communication skills in acquired neurogenic communication disorders in the context of communication practices of the 21st century, culminating in the development, implementation, and applications of a novel clinical instrument for this purpose: the Communication Success Screener (COMSS). Methods and Procedures: Thirty-three participants with acquired aphasia were recruited to complete and evaluate the COMSS via an online survey. Quantitative and open-ended participant feedback was used to validate and propose adaptations to the COMSS. Group level analyses and case presentations are used to highlight COMSS features and outcomes.Outcomes and Results: Participant responses to the COMSS questionnaire demonstrate that this screening tool creates differentiated communicative success profiles based on self-report. Participant feedback indicated that the COMSS appropriately evaluates self-reported success across modalities of verbal, written, and non-verbal expression in the context of in-person and virtual environments.Conclusions and Implications: Individuals with communication-led concerns often display heterogeneous language profiles with individualized functional communication concerns as a function of their daily activities of living and environmental supports. We introduce the COMSS as a valid tool to improve treatment goals and monitoring of functional change by evaluating self-reported communicative success as a function of form, modality, environment, and task demand.

Published: November 2022

Background Healthy cardiac function is evaluated by echocardiography in the non-invasive cardiology department. Cardiac functional and structural evaluation is assessed by cardiologists based on a physiologically defined normal range. We want to compute the physiological value of variables in the healthy population.
Objective To compute and compare the recorded echocardiographic parameters among apparently healthy patients.
Method This is a retrospective study and a total of 544 subjects whose standard reference range was within the normal limit are included for computational study. 268 males (52.8%) and 240 females (47.2%) were studied for the size of the aortic root, size of the left atrium, left ventricular internal diameter during diastole (LVIDd) and systole (LVIDs), interventricular septum during diastole and systole (IVSd and IVSs), left ventricular posterior wall during diastole (LVPWd) and systole (LVPWs) and ejection fraction (EF).
Result Ejection fraction (EF) is not significantly different (p=0.14) between genders, Mean±SD; 70.45±6.7 for females and Mean±SD; 68.34±7.18 for males. The mean age of examined female patients is Mean±SD; 36.88±12.6 which is not significantly different with male patients age Mean±SD; 38.28±12.5. Males have larger left ventricular internal diameter in diastole, Mean±SD; 43.90±6.4 than females Mean±SD; 41.37±8.08. Ejection fraction for females is Mean±SD; 70.45±6.7, for males is Mean±SD; 68.34±7.18 with p=0.14.
Conclusion Absolute echocardiographic measurements vary physiologically between apparently healthy genders yet the ejection fraction is not significantly different between both the genders in the examined Nepali population.

Authors: Kathayat G. , Pokharel D. R. , Yadav N. K. , Manoj S. 
Published: November 2022

Background Anthropometric parameters of individuals are good at predicting functional impairment, mortality, and future cardiometabolic diseases. The relationship between anthropometric parameters and lipid profiles have been studied in different parts of the world. But to date, no such studies have been conducted in Nepal.
Objective To investigate the association between anthropometric parameters and lipid profile in the adult population of Kaski district, Nepal.
Method This study was carried out at Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara, Kaski, Nepal. The fasting lipid profiles were analyzed in a total of 400 subjects aged > 18 years with an automated OCD Vitros 350 dry chemistry analyzer. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to test the normality of the data. The mean values of fasting lipids were compared within the subjects with different body mass index groups using ANOVA and waist circumference, waist-hip ratios, waist-height ratios, and neck circumference using independent samples t-test. The anthropometric indices evaluated were body mass index, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, waist-height ratio, head circumference, neck circumference, and mid-upper arm circumference. Pearson’s correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis were performed to identify the association between the lipid profile and anthropometric parameters. The difference was considered statistically significant when p values (two-tailed) were < 0.050.
Result The mean values of the serum lipid parameters other than high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were found to be higher in the subjects with an above than normal BMI, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, waist-height ratio, and neck circumference. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis showed that waist-height ratio best predicts serum triglycerides (β=0.622, p < 0.001) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (β=-0.711, p < 0.001) among all measured anthropometric parameters.
Conclusion Among all the studied anthropometric parameters, the WHtR was found to be the most powerful predictor of serum triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Published: November 2022

Background Childhood blindness and visual impairments could lead to the onset of blindness among children and adolescents. New cases appear particularly between the ages of 6-15 years and if uncorrected, runs a risk of developing Amblyopia, strabismus. There exists a mounting need to strengthen and modify established school eye health programs in Nepal as per the local needs and conditions.
Objective To determine the prevalence of refractive error and ocular pathologies among school children in rural Nepal.
Method This cross-sectional study was conducted in nine schools of Kavrepalanchowk and Bhaktapur district with 953 students screened from December 2018 to February 2020. The team of optometrist, ophthalmic assistants and ophthalmologist applied a standard protocol for screening of refractive error as a part of the school eye program of Dhulikhel Hospital. Other standard eye examinations were performed to note the ocular pathologies. The association of socio-demographic factors of students having refractive errors with that in emmetropes was identified using logistic regression analysis.
Result A total of 953 students were screened in nine study sites, age ranged from 5-19 years. There were 183 students (19.2%) with refractive errors. Blurred vision was the common complaint reported by 2.5% of students. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed higher age group children (aOR=2.93; 95% CI: 1.62-5.29; P=0.01) and urban area children (aOR=4.37; 95% CI: 0.87-21.98; P=0.07) to have higher odds of refractive error.
Conclusion Refractive error is the major eye problem among school children. Despite its high prevalence, there is still a major gap in timely diagnosis and treatment. Regular vision screening and timely treatment is required for better addressing refractive error among school-going children.

Peak Systolic Velocity in Middle Cerebral Artery in Patients with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury as an Indicator of Detrimental Rise in Intracranial Pressure
Authors: Shrestha B. , Lakshmipathy G. 
Published: November 2022

Background Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the major concern for neurosurgeons while treating patients with severe traumatic brain injury, as any troublesome escalation in intracranial pressure heralds feared complications leading to definite morbidity or even mortality.
Objective This study focuses on analyzing the correlation between peak systolic velocity in middle cerebral artery derived from transcranial doppler ultrasonographic spectral analysis and intracranial pressure values derived from invasive intracranial pressure monitoring system in a patient with severe traumatic brain injury.
Method A prospective observational study was performed using a convenience sample technique including all adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury who had invasive intracranial monitors placed as part of their clinical care. Transcranial doppler ultrasonography was performed with a 2 MHz linear probe of ACUSON X300 ultrasound system while simultaneous intracranial pressure readings were obtained directly from invasive intracranial pressure monitoring. The association between peak systolic velocity in the middle cerebral artery and invasive intracranial pressure was assessed with Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
Result One hundred one transcranial doppler ultrasound spectral analysis was performed on 26 individual patients. The mean age of the population involved in this study is 43.57 years ± S.D. 19.95 (range 18-78 years), with male preponderance in a ratio of 5.5:1. Pearson’s correlation coefficient of peak systolic velocity in middle cerebral artery and intracranial pressure was 0.715 (p < 0.000) demonstrating a significant positive correlation. With further evaluation of area under curve characteristics, peak systolic velocity in middle cerebral artery of 39.6 cm/s yielded the most favorable balance of test characteristics to diagnose elevation of intracranial pressure, with a resulting sensitivity of 82.1% and specificity of 84.4%.
Conclusion Peak systolic velocity in middle cerebral artery can be explored further as a dependable screening tool to evaluate intracranial pressure among patients with severe traumatic brain injury in settings with unavailability of invasive intracranial pressure monitoring facilities.
