Providing balanced nutrition in the life cycle is important to improve the immune system for disease prevention, especially in the Covid-19 Era. The study showed that balanced nutrition has not been fully applied due to a lack of knowledge. As a promotive and preventive agent for preventing the transmission of Covid-19. Students majoring in public health and alumni of public health play an important role and should be supported with update information based on the recent health situation. This community service aims to increase the knowledge of students and alumni about fulfilling balanced nutrition in every life cycle in the Covid-19 era. This community service activity was carried out in the form of a Nutrition in Lifecycle Series webinar which was held three times with various theme including nutrition for pregnancy, breastfeeding, children and adolescents in the Covid-19 era. Evaluation of this activity was carried out through pre-test and post-test and participants' satisfaction. It showed that there is an increase in the pre-test and post-test scores in this webinar series and all participants are satisfied with this webinar series. It is hoped that this activity can continue with various other interesting themes as a means of upgrading knowledge for students and alumni of the public health department.
Comment l’implication des résidants-es polyhandicapés-es dans le processus de recrutement peut contribuer à réduire les injustices sociales, symboliques et épistémiques dans une maison d’accueil spécialisée ?
Authors: Zirari Sara 
Published: May 2022

Résumé :
Les personnes polyhandicapées subissent plusieurs formes d’injustices causées par les contingences naturelles et sociales. A travers l’exemple d’un processus de recrutement qui implique les résidants polyhandicapés dans la sélection des professionnels, nous allons analyser les leviers et les impasses d’une innovation organisationnelle participative dans une maison d’accueil spécialisée. En mobilisant le cadre des capabilités de Nussbaum, le paradigme de la reconnaissance de Fraser et l’apport des injustices épistémiques de Fricker, nous allons montrer qu’en offrant la liberté de choisir aux résidents, le dispositif produit des capabilités combinées. En assurant la parité de participation, le processus modifie les rapports et bouscule la hiérarchie des statuts. Enfin, la prise en compte des savoirs et compétences des résidents contribue à réduire les injustices herméneutiques et de témoignage subies par les personnes en situation de polyhandicap.

Authors: Zhukova S. I. , Iureva T. N. 
Published: May 2022

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) in everyday routine practice is the method of choice for the instrumental diagnosis of glaucoma in adults. As a non-invasive and safe method of visualizing structural changes in the retina and the optic nerve, the method is of particular value in pediatric practice. At the same time, OCT diagnostics in children is associated with certain difficulties, both during the study and when interpreting the scan results.This review summarizes the data from the literature and our own research in the diagnosis and monitoring of congenital and juvenile glaucoma from the standpoint of our own long-term clinical experience in using optical coherence tomography. We consider the physiological changes of the retina and optic nerve, attention is focused on the need to create a pediatric regulatory database of retinal thickness, the factors that determine the normal range of the data obtained and allow distinguishing physiological processes from pathological ones are identified. Clinical cases confirming the value of OCT in combined pathology are presented as examples.

Background. An increase in the incidence of optic neuritis (ON) among the workingage population, the complexity of etiological diagnosis and the choice of adequate etiotropic therapy, as well as a disappointing prognosis for vision due to the development of optic nerve atrophy determines the high social significance of this problem.The aim. Comprehensive clinical, functional, morphometric and laboratory-immunological evaluation of results of using the drug Imunofan® in combined treatment of ON associated with herpesvirus infection (HVI).Materials and methods. The study involved 39 people (39 eyes) with acute ON associated with HVI. The standard treatment regimen for the patients included the appointment of solutions: dexamethasone in a decreasing scheme, a 1 % Emoxypine® preparation 0.5 ml and 12.5 % Dicynone® preparation 0.5 ml through an irrigation system implanted into the retrobulbar space, with subsequent appointment of medicinal means of neuroprotection (Picamilon® and Semax®). All patients were divided into two groups. The main group – 22 patients, whose standard inpatient treatment was supplemented with intramuscular administration of the drug Imunofan®, 50 μg daily for 10 days. The control group consisted of 17 patients, who were treated only according to the standard method.Results. Analysis of obtained data showed that more significant positive dynamics was noted in patients of the main group.Conclusion. The clinical efficacy of the drug Imunofan® in the complex therapy of ON associated with HVI was characterized by relief of signs of inflammation in the optic nerve in the main group immediately after the end of the course of treatment, while in the control group – only after 3 months; an increase in the best corrected visual acuity by 1.3 times, a decrease in the incidence of postneuritic optic nerve atrophy at a follow-up period of 12 months.

Published: May 2022

The article presents a description of the study of the effectiveness of methodological tools aimed at developing metacognitive competence in future elementary school teachers in the classroom on the methodology of teaching mathematics to younger students.The aimof the study is to empirically test the effectiveness of a set of methodological techniques used in the classroom on the methodology of teaching mathematics to future elementary school teachers as a means of developing their metacognitive competencies. The hypothesis of the study is the assumption that one of the effective means of developing metacognitive competencies in future elementary school teachers is special classes for compiling original scenarios of verbal mathematical problems for younger students. A professionally developed verbal composition of a mathematical problem sets the vector of mental activity for the younger student. It requires the developer to build a forecast of the child’s mental actions, determine algorithms and levels of difficulty in obtaining the right solution. The study used methods for testing students’ cognitive characteristics (intelligence) and peer review of their “metacognitive knowledge”, “metacognitive skills”, “metacognitive experience” and “metacognitive strategies”. The methodological solutions implemented in the classroom have shown their effectiveness. For the practice of preparing future primary school teachers, it is important that the well-organized development of compositions of textual mathematical problems for younger students is an effective means of developing their metacognitive competencies.

Background. External genital endometriosis (EGE) is often the cause of infertility, while coagulation of its foci leads to the restoration of fertility. Often, non-invasivepreoperative diagnosis of EGE is difficult. Today, the issue of laparoscopy in infertility and whether there is a need for additional indications for its implementation remains controversial. Identification of the relationship between certain extragenital diseases with EGE is promising in terms of both understanding the pathogenesis of EGE and predicting its development.The aim. Identification of the relationship of extragenital diseases with the presence of EGE in infertile women of reproductive age.Materials and methods. In preparation for assisted reproductive technology programs at the Vitromed Clinic, 1 132 women of reproductive age were examined from 2019 to 2021. Collection and processing of clinical and anamnestic data were carried out. The diagnosis of EGE was verified by laparoscopy with histological examination. The results were analyzed using exact test and binary logistic regression to build a model of the relationship between EGE and somatic pathology.Results. EGE was detected in 222 patients. A number of somatic diseases were found that are most common in EGE: bowel diseases; minor cardiac maldevelopments; chronic anemia; pathology of the pancreas; chronic tonsillitis; allergy. A logistic regression model was constructed to predict the presence of EGE in patients with the indicated somatic pathology with a sensitivity of 81.53 % and a specificity of 97.25 %.Conclusion. Identification of comorbid extragenital diseases associated with EGE in women with infertility can serve as a basis for expanding the scope of therapeutic and diagnostic measures, in particular for laparoscopy.

Cryobanks use plant cryocollections for long-term preservation of crops which cannot be preserved in seed collections. These are vegetatively propagated crops, accessions of species which form either a small amount of seeds, or recalcitrant seeds. Shoot tips (apexes) of in vitro plants are used for cryopreservation for most berry crops, therefore maintenance of in vitro collections is very important. The VIR in vitro collection includes 150 accessions of Rubus L. species, 85 of them are raspberry cultivars, 59 of which were bred in Russia. These cultivars reflect a wide ecogeographic diversity. Among them, there are raspberry cultivars created at the end of the 19th – first half of the 20th centuries, including cultivars bred by I.V. Michurin and by the pioneer of northern horticulture V.V. Spirin. More than half of national raspberry varieties (33) are listed in the State Register for Selection Achievements Admitted for Usage. Raspberry cultivars from Russian breeding programs have a very limited representation in foreign genebanks. The first aim of the present work was cryopreservation of mostly folk and old Russian raspberry cultivars received by VIR from 1925 till 1950 and their transfer into the cryobank. The second aim of the work was to monitor post-cryogenic regeneration of raspberry cultivars transferred to the cryobank earlier. A modified protocol of the droplet vitrification method by “DV-biotech” was used for cryopreservation of shoot tips of in vitro plants of 10 raspberry cultivars (7 of which are folk and old Russian ones) from the VIR in vitro collection. Post-cryogenic regeneration was evaluated for 17 raspberry cultivars preserved in the cryobank from one to five years. Ten raspberry cultivars (900 apexes) with an average mean post-cryoregenic regeneration value of 38.2±3.0% determined in control tests, were placed in the cryobank for long-term storage. A statistically significant effect of the genotype on the viability of explants after cryopreservation was noted, while the post-cryogenic regeneration was genotype insensitive. Additionally, levels of post-cryogenic regeneration were evaluated for 17 raspberry cultivars (296 apexes) preserved in the cryobank from one to five years. Post-cryogenic regeneration within the 20-70% range was displayed by four raspberry cultivars preserved in the cryobank for one year, and for 8 cultivars conserved there from three to five years post-cryogenic regeneration was within the 10-50% range. According to the results of monitoring, regeneration displayed by 12 raspberry cultivars was within the 10-70% range, which can be considered as a reliable rate of apex preservation in liquid nitrogen vapors in the VIR cryobank. Monitoring of the post-cryogenic regeneration of the raspberry accessions preserved in the VIR cryobank and cryopreservation of new raspberry cultivars will be continued.

Published: May 2022

The Jatropha seed oil is non edible, contains high amount of oil and less expensive feedstock. So, in this study a methyl ester biodiesel was produced from Jatropha seed oil following two step transesterification process using methanol, sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide. The effect of Jatropha biodiesel blends and petroleum-based diesel on the performance and emission of four strokes, naturally aspired, water cooled and a direct injection diesel engine at five engine loads with a constant engine speed of 1500 rpm were examined. The physical and thermal properties of 20 % Jatropha-biodiesel and 80 % diesel (JB20) were tested on American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and found to be within the standard. The engine performance parameters for biodiesel blends such as Indicated Power (IP), Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE), Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), Torque, Mechanical Efficiency (ME) and Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGR) were obtained and compared with diesel fuel. At higher load, the IP of 15 % Jatropha-biodiesel and 85 % diesel (JB15) is lower than diesel and other blends. BTE of 10 % Jatropha-biodiesel and 90% diesel (JB10) increases to 5 % mainly on 50 % loading condition and at higher loading BTE of diesel is higher than jatropha biodiesel blends. For Jatropha biodiesel blends SFC was 19 % higher than diesel but at high load, SFC was nearly same for all test fuels. Mechanical efficiency of JB15 was found to be 18 % higher than diesel at higher loading. The highest exhaust gas temperature was 352.46 0C, 358.61 0C, 353.51 0C and 343.79 0C for diesel, JB10, JB15 and JB20, respectively at 3kW loading. Also, experimental results show that the smoke opacity reduced by 31.6 % with JB20 compared to diesel. From the fuel property, engine performance and emission characteristics, it is concluded that the Jatropha biodiesel up to 20 % can be blended with diesel and can be used as an alternative fuel in existing diesel engine without any modification.

Published: May 2022

This study was designed to compare the effects of the properties of compressed laterite earth brick (CLEB) stabilized with palm leaf ash (PKA) and palm kernel fiber (KPF). The study was carried out in Building Technology Department, Federal Polytechnic Bida, Niger State. Bricks of 222×110×70 were produced using manual pressed machine where nine bricks each were stabilized with palm kernel fiber for 1%, 2%, and 3%. Also 9 bricks each were stabilized with palm leaf ash for each percent 5%, 10% and 15%. The materials used were Palm Kernel Fiber, Palm Leaf Ash laterite soil, and water. The abrasion resistance test and water penetration test were carried out. The findings revealed that the water penetration rate for the CLEB bricks stabilized with PKF recorded average penetration rate of 10.18 at 1%, 11.52 at 2% and 12.19 at 3%. Only 3% produced higher penetration rate while CLEB stabilized with PLA recorded average water penetration rate of 11.58 at 5%, 10.63 at 10%, and 11.27 at 15%. All were in conformity with NBRRI specification of 12.5%. The abrasion resistance of the 28 day CLEB stabilized with PKF recorded average abrasion of 1.40 at 1%, 1.28 at 2% and 3.68 at 3%. All result were conformity with the NBBRI specification of 6.9. While the abrasion resistance of the 28 day CLEB stabilized with PLA recorded average abrasion of 2.39 at 5%, 2.22 at 10% and 2.32 at 15% which were in conformity with the NBBRI specification of 6.9. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that the CLEB stabilized with palm kernel fiber at 1% and 2% are in conformity with NBRRI specification of compressive strength, water absorption rate and abrasion resistance. While compressed laterite bricks stabilized with palm leaf ash should be improve to conform to NBRRI specification.

Introduction: A Lumboperitoneal shunt is a procedure of diverting Cerebrospinal Fluid from the lumbar thecal sac to peritoneum. Common indications are Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), recurrent CSF fistulas, growing skull fractures etc. It has been often used as a last resort in patients with communicating hydrocephalus who underwent multiple failed ventriculostomy procedures. We present our study of 14 cases of LP shunting done for common indications, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of these cases and present our outcome.
Objective: Objective of this study was to evaluate the outcome of Lumboperitoneal Shunt and assess its overall role in cerebrospinal fluid diversion procedures.
Materials & Methods: Retrospective Study (June 2015- January 2020)
Results: A total of 14 cases (6 males and 8 females) were operated from June 2015 to January 2020.Majority of the cases 64.3% (n= 9) were IIH, 21.4% (n=3) were cases of NPH and 14.3% (n=2) were cases of communicating hydrocephalus. Two cases presented with repeat of symptoms after initial improvement and underwent shunt revision. Blockage of thecal catheter due to kinking was found in both cases. Symptomatic improvement was seen in all cases.
Conclusion: These results show that Lumboperitoneal Shunt is an excellent option in cerebrospinal fluid diversion whenever indicated. It carries low risk and has good outcome.

Non epileptic attack disorder, Psychiatric co morbidities and their outcomes: NEAD & Psychiatric Comorbidity
Authors: Sawant Neena , Umate Maithili 
Published: May 2022

Background: NEAD is a common presentation in epilepsy clinics and is often misdiagnosed. This study was therefore planned to understand the prevalence of psychiatric co morbidities in patients diagnosed as NEAD and to study the outcome of both the conditions over 6 months with pharmacotherapy and supportive psychotherapy.
Material & Method: 71 patients of NEAD were enrolled and assessed on SCID 1 to diagnose psychiatric co morbidity with rating of severity of anxiety & depression on HDRS & HARS.
Patients were divided into Groups A & B depending on the presence or absence of existing co-morbid psychopathology respectively and were followed up over 6 months to assess outcomes. Psychiatric medication was given to Group A patients and both groups received supportive psychotherapy on follow up.
Results: Group A had 50 patients with psychiatric co morbidity and Group B included 21 patients. Depressive disorders were common psychopathology and follow up at 3& 6 months revealed a reduction in the total mean scores of HARS and HDRS from baseline. Outcome of NEAD at the end of 6 months revealed 100% reduction in 28% and 50% reduction in 15 – 16% of both group patients.
Conclusions: There are very few Indian studies on short or long term outcomes of NEAD and there is a need to create awareness among the treating physicians regarding the impact of associated psychiatric co morbidities which would affect the prognosis of NEAD.
