English0207Anang Auric YuliandarEnglish Muhammad Iwan DaniEnglish Bambang SupraptoEnglish PrihantonoEnglishBackground: The literature examining the relationship between the elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the incidence of postoperative complications is varied. The primary object of this investigation was to determine the relationship between the NLR with the occurrence of the anastomotic leak as a complication after colorectal surgery in colorectal cancer patients. Methods: This is observational cross-sectional study of 54 patients with colorectal cancer patients underwent elective surgery at the Central Operating Theatre Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Hospital, Samarinda, Indonesia, in 2018-2019. Lymphocytes and neutrophils are taken from complete blood count values of colorectal cancer patients one day before colorectal surgery. Univariate analysis was carried out to describe the characteristics of the subjects. Bivariate analysis is performed using the independent t-test if the data is normally distributed. Results: Mean neutrophil value was significantly higher in subjects with anastomotic leakage than in those without a leak, which was 9.91 compared to 5.44 (p 0.05). Conclusions: There is no relationship between NLR values and complications of postoperative colorectal anastomosis leak in colorectal cancer patients. The mean NLR value was found to be higher in subjects who experienced anastomotic leak compared to those without leakage. The neutrophil rate was significantly higher and the lymphocyte rate was lower in subjects who experienced anastomotic leakage compared to those without leakage.

English0814Khudoikulova Shoira NarzullaevnaEnglish Laptev Dmitry SergeevichEnglish Egorkina Svetlana BorisovnaEnglish Stepanov Vladimir AlexandrovichEnglish Belykh Vyacheslav VyacheslavovichEnglishAim and Objective: This article reveals of the work which was devoted to studying the changes in corneal tissues and stress adaptation of laboratory rats with different resistance to the effects of a rotating electric field with 10 and 20 days of exposure. The adaptation of laboratory animals to the effect of a rotating electric field leads to new energy-informational levels in the structure of corneal tissues in the form of subsystems of survival, which are revealed using multifractal parameters. Method: The limiting adaptability of an animal with a stable psychotype is higher than that of an unstable or ambivalent animal. Estimates of the limits of stress resistance of rats with different psychotype to the influence of an electric field were obtained. Result: Three mechanisms of adaptation of the structure of corneal tissues under the influence of a field on an animal concerning the sign of the health of the functioning of the organism “norm of chaos” were revealed: - an acute stress state, as in an equilibrium unstable state with increased reproduction of entropy (?H> 0), due to additional energy costs for maintaining the equilibrium of the system (informational entropy D1 is higher than the “norm of chaos”); –Adaptation without signs of pathology as in a non-equilibrium steady state ?H = 0 (informational entropy D1 is close to the “norm of randomness”); - chronic, i.e. stable nonequilibrium state ?H English Adaptation, Multifractal ordering, Entropy, Information system, Self-organization, Stress state, Mathematical modelhttp://ijcrr.com/abstract.php?article_id=3076http://ijcrr.com/article_html.php?did=3076Radiance Research AcademyInternational Journal of Current Research and Review2231-21960975-52411222EnglishN2020November24HealthcarePerceived Maternal Needs and Priorities in Neonatal Intensive Care Environment
English1519Pushpa Thomas JohnEnglish Sneha PitreEnglish Shukri AdamEnglishBackground: Hospitalization of the neonate is very stressful and challenging for mothers as they have to adapt to their own physiological and psychological changes along with the unexpected needs of the baby. If these needs are not identified and taken care off can lead to suboptimal health and developmental outcomes for the infant. Purpose: To assess the maternal needs and priorities of the hospitalized neonate in NICU. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 61 mothers of hospitalized neonates with the use of maternal needs inventory. Needs were categorized into five deduced dimensions Assurance, proximity, Information, support and comfort. Besides, Mothers were asked to enlist five most important needs as per the priority from high to low. Results: Out of 25 listed needs, Assurance needs were reported as most important and comfort needs as a least. In priority, all five needs were related to the health of the baby than the mother’s comfort. Significant association between maternal needs and selected demographic variables were observed in the study. Conclusion: Maternal need inventory is a simple yet effective tool for identifying the needs of mothers which is vital for promoting family-centred care based on dignity and respect; information sharing; participation; and collaboration.

English3033Geeta BhatiaEnglish Anoushka NairEnglish A. S.ChoudhriEnglish Sangeeta TrimbakeEnglishBackground: Depression, a common mental disorder, has risen to be one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and a major cause of suicide attempts globally. There is evidence to suggest that magnesium affects the brain physiology and its role in NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor regulation makes it a factor of interest in depressive pathology. Aim & Objectives: To estimate the Serum Magnesium in newly diagnosed patients of depression and to compare it with the normal population value. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry and the Department of Psychiatry at MIMER Medical College, Bhausaheb Sardesai Talegaon Rural Hospital, Talegaon Dabhade, Pune patients were included. Their serum was collected before they started any medication, and was analysed for Magnesium level by xylitol blue method. Results: The serum magnesium levels are found to be significantly lower than the normal range. The mean value of serum Magnesium in the study group was 1.72± 0.33 mg/dl, comparatively less than the population value of 2.1± 0.26 mg/dl Conclusions: Serum Magnesium levels are decreased significantly in patients suffering from depression. Alteration of its level could play a role in the pathology of depression. There is a scope for use of magnesium level estimation to determine the level of depression and the efficacy of treatment. Use of Magnesium supplements in the treatment of depression may be effective and requires further research.

English3440Lata Kanyal ButolaEnglish Ashish AnjankerEnglish Anjali VaggaEnglish Meghali N KapleEnglishRheumatoid arthritis ( RA) is among the most prevalent autoimmune diseases (1-3 % worldwide). RA is a prototypic inflammatory disease, characterized by a changed homeostasis state in which immunological stimulation and unwanted inflammation take precedence. The disordered inflammation has painful and deteriorating immediate effects while causing accumulated tissue damage that could contribute to symmetric polyarthritis leading to lifelong discomfort, impairment and shorter life expectancy. RA is affected by genetic and environmental influences, smoking, diet, obesity, microbiota, and infections were suggested induced illness in individuals genetically prone. The clinical representation of RA is the product of a cascade of responses and close interactions between immune and non-immune cells (e.g., endothelial and fibroblast-like synoviocytes), autoantibodies, soluble mediators such as cytokines and chemokines, and signal transduction pathways of the innate and adaptive immune system. Different immune system players include neutrophils, macrophages, B cells, natural killer ( NK ) cells, and T cells migrate to the synovial membrane and accumulate in the synovial fluid, resulting in the release of mediators such as cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, matrix metalloproteinases ( MMPs) and reactive oxidative species ( ROS) which result in joint destruction.

English5765Sreekanth Nelliakkattu ParameswaranEnglish Aravind KumarEnglish Krishnendu SukumaranEnglishIntroduction: Myopia is one of the leading causes of visual impairment in children, especially schoolchildren. The most common management option is prescription of corrective spectacles, but these neither correct nor prevent progression of the error. The cardinal symptom of myopia, the inability to see distant objects, may be compared with Timira (blurring of vision) in Ayurveda. Case Series: The cases of three children who presented to Sreedhareeyam Ayurvedic Eye Hospital with the blurring of vision and who were diagnosed with myopia are presented here. Intervention: The children underwent specially tailored Ayurvedic treatment protocols, which included oral medicines, Netra Kriyakalpa (ocular therapeutics), and treatments for the head. Results: Improvement in visual acuity and refraction was observed at the end of the treatments. Multiple follow-ups demonstrated either improvement or maintenance of visual acuity. Conclusion: The main challenge for the patients was maintaining and improving vision. The results of the series indicate the potential of Ayurvedic treatments to both manage myopia and to maintain, and improve in some cases, vision in children.

English6669Velayutharaj A.English Saraswathi R.English Muthumani L.English Shivakumar R.English Sivakumar M.EnglishIntroduction: Low-grade inflammation is the basic pathophysiology in metabolic syndrome and the development of T2DM. Previous studies have demonstrated that increased neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Apart from many inflammatory markers, NLR is believed to be the balance between innate (neutrophils) and adaptive (lymphocytes) immune system responses to the low-grade inflammation. Methods: The present study was to find the relationship between NLR and hsCRP (High sensitive C reactive protein) in patients with T2DM in a tertiary care centre. Age and sex-matched 60 T2DM patients (males 32, female 28) were included in this study. After getting the written informed consent 5ml of fasting blood sample was collected for the analysis of fasting blood glucose, Total, differential WBC count and High sensitive Creative protein. Results: Our study showed that there is a strong positive correlation between increased NLR and hsCRP.357 (p≤ 0.005). Here, it is important to note that, males have low levels of hsCRP (2.63±3.23) than females (4.82±4.16) and these changes are also statistically significant (p≤ 0.026). Conclusion: The White blood cell count is one of the markers of subclinical inflammation. In diabetes, due to the presence of low-grade inflammation, the white cell count, NLR and hsCRP were increased. Hence, by assessing NLR, which is a simple clinical investigation will be useful in T2DM patients to control future vascular risk events.

English7075Radhika ChintamaniEnglish Mayuri BurungaleEnglishIntroduction: Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Prone lying for minimum of 6 hours improves the oxygen saturation of the COVID subjects. But, very few studies have demonstrated he occurring musculoskeletal dysfunctions in subjects with COVID who are admitted in COVID-ICU with regular Physiotherapy following CARP protocol and medical care. Objective: The study intend to investigate the type, mechanism and pathogenesis of the musculoskeletal dysfunctions which have occurred in the subjects with COVID. Methods: This was an analytical type of study conducted on 300 COVID positive subjects who were recruited after 7th day of admission in Krishna Hospital, and were divided into two groups. Group A with 3 hour prone lying and Group B with 6 hours prone lying depending on the Physiotherapy intervention given. Structured Orthopedic Manual Therapy Assessment Format was used to analyze the subjects among both the groups for any Musculoskeletal dysfunction they currently posses. Results: The results of the study showed definite and significant difference in the occurrence of Musculoskeletal dysfunctions in both the groups of 3 hours and 6 hours with outcome measure Structured Orthopedic Manual Therapy Assessment Format; subparameters: pain, tender point and accessory glide: showed the more significant presence in group B (6 Hours) and between-group difference existed with p-value: 0.05. In sub-parameters like: type of pain, Combined movement pattern, Janda’s movement pattern, spasm, fascia and muscle mobility and neural tension testing p-value showed: 0.005 and 0.05, 0.05 and 0.05, 0.112 and 0.05, 0.112 and 0.05, 0.05 and 0.05, 0.891 and 0.715 (for ULTT) and 0.815 and 0.521 for LLTT respectively. Conclusion: Six hours of prone lying in subjects infected with Coronavirus have good outcome concerning Respiratory as well as Cardiac parameters, but, in the present study Group A showed very less amount of Musculoskeletal dysfunction occurrence when compared to Group B. But, further studies are needed to determine whether 3 hours of prone lying if given twice a day, can have any affect on musculoskeletal dysfunction in such subjects.

English8690Gayathri SunilEnglish Meghana VinodEnglish Roshni PREnglishStaphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is a rare dermatological condition associated with extensive desquamation by toxicogenic strains of staphylococcus aureus. The two known serotypes of exfoliative toxin namely A and B are responsible for this disease entity. Haematogenous dissemination of toxin cause extensive epidermal damage at sites distant to the infectious site. When considering all age ranges, SSSS is more prevalent in infants and children below 5 years but can occur at any age. Initially, symptoms include fever, malaise, dehydration followed by the tenderness of the skin with erythematous rash, flaccid blisters and bullae which may rupture on pressure, leaving superficial crusts. Despite a well-known clinical aspect, several cutaneous diseases may be mistaken for SSSS. Therefore, rapid and definitive histopathological evaluation of the biopsy is essential to confirm the diagnosis. The prognosis is improved by adequate therapy, that is, aggressive fluid replacement, nutritional support and optimal antibacterial policy. Antibiotics covering staphylococcus are the preferred treatment as the disease is caused generally by a single organism, S. aureus, mainly belonging to phage group II, and which include Nafcillin or Oxacillin for methicillinsensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). If cultures are positive for MRSA, vancomycin should be used. Healing occurs within 10 to 14 days without scarring. This article aims to provide an overview of our current understanding of SSSS epidemiology, clinical features, pathogenesis, differential diagnosis and management.

At the end of the 20th century, the concept of metabolic syndrome (MS) was proposed as a way to isolate a group of people who have several risk factors united by a single pathogenetic basis. MS belongs to the so-called "diseases of civilization" and is most common in economically developed countries. Method: 65 patients have been examined. Increased activity of SAS, especially noradrenalin (NE) and activation inflammatory cytokines - IL-6, TNF-a have been revealed. It has been determined that high activity of SAS leads to immune disbalance of humoral immunity which proved to be the marker of MS progressing.

English108114Kashif AliEnglish Umamah MuftiEnglish Gaurav SharmaEnglish Aliya MuftiEnglishRationale: The COVID-19 or the coronavirus is a highly contagious viral disease which spread from humans to humans through small droplets via Nose, Mouth, Cough, or exhales infected more than 3.76 million peopleacross 185 countries. Objective: We aim to assess the Quality of life, depression, anxiety, stress levels in the Indian population due to COVID-19 and to find out the demographic groups which need more attention for the prevention of mental illness. Methods: Participants were recruited through proliferative approach with aid of social media platforms and an online survey was conducted to assess knowledge about covid-19, Quality of life (WHQOL), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Statistical analysis by SPSS-2 was done and unpaired t-test was used to analyse the influence of lockdown on quality of life, depression and anxiety in the participants. Results: 847 participants filled the questionnaire 64.1% participants have some knowledge and 35.9% have full knowledge about COVID-19. We found a significant difference in the WHOQOL & DASS-21 between the male and female participants (p=0.0001) and age (18-39 years & 40-64 years) (p=0.0001). There was significant difference in the WHOQOL(p= 0.0002)& DASS-21(p=0.0001)with education level (bachelors and above or without bachelors) and occupation (government job/ private job) WHOQOL (p=0.0001) DASS-21(0.0001). There was no significant difference between the average monthly family income groups (p > 0.05). Participants of majority and other religious groups showed a significant difference in WHOQOL (p=0.0001) and DASS-21 score (p=0.0001). Conclusion: The government should focus on encouraging people for stress-free lifestyle by taking care of their livelihood, daily needs and social messages focusing on family support. Necessary measures need to be taken to increase awareness about covid-19 prevention and removing misconception regarding the association of the disease with any community.

English132138Susmita SahaEnglish Shilpi GargEnglish Kirandeep KaurEnglish Prachi Saffar AnejaEnglishBackground: The suprascapular notch (SSN) is a depression located in the lateral portion of the upper border of the scapula encroached by the superior transverse scapular ligament. It may be completely or partially ossified to transform the notch into a foramen which acts as a gateway for the passage of the suprascapular nerve. Methods: Two hundred & ninety adult dry scapulae (132 right & 158 left) from the osteology museum of the Department of Anatomy, belonging to North Indian population of unknown sex were obtained for the variable morphologic pattern of SSN by subjective evaluation according to Rengachary’s classification. We have also examined the morphological variant of the ossified superior transverse suprascapular ligament (STSL). Results: We have concluded six different morphological variations of SSN. Among them, the Type III SSN had the highest incidence of 41.7%. Morphological variability was noted for the ossified STSL: fan-shaped & band like; morphometric analysis was also performed for the completely ossified STSL. The incidence of different types of ossified STSL was 57.5% (fan-shaped); 42.2% (band-like) category respectively & the mean length, width, thickness of the STSL were 7.49 mm; 3.43 mm & 2.18 mm respectively. The mean length & width of complete suprascapular foramen were 7.36 mm and 4.39 mm respectively. Conclusions: SSN shows highly variable morphological pictures, so the clinicians are desirable to be well versed with the diverse appearance of such anatomic variants of SSN on dry bones so that they can interpret its morphology on radiographs and MRI scans. This evaluation may be of great help for academicians and orthopaedic surgeons for the diagnosis & treatment modalities of suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome

English139143Tanveer KaurEnglish Rajashree Roy SomEnglishBackground: Psychological immunity comprises an individual’s ability to safeguard and promote mental health. Oláh’s psychological immune system is a multi-dimensional model which incorporates factors affecting mental health like optimism, selfesteem, and control over emotional faculties; it consists of personal protective and promotive resources that offer immunity to environmental stress. This model can be useful for exploring relevant psychological phenomena like resilience and the cognitive and behavioural concepts associated with it. Objective: To describe psychological immunity and the key concepts driving it. Method: Narrative review of literature relevant to psychological immunity. Conclusion: It has been pointed out that the factors influencing resilience have useful equivalents within the psychological immune system model, implying that resilience is a key factor promoting psychological immunity. The psychological immune system model will be important for investigating interactions with the biological immune system, especially concerning interventions that can enhance health, like resilience training. Furthermore, the model can act as a unifying framework for psychological phenomena like well-being and coping.

English150157Mohan MahantyEnglish Debnath BhattacharyyaEnglish Divya MidhunchakkaravarthyEnglish Tai-hoon KimEnglishColorectal cancer, which is frequent, recognized tumours in both genders around the globe. As per the report generated by WHO in 2018, colon cancer placed in the third position, whereas 1.80 million individuals are affected. Precisely, it is the succeeding leading cancer, which is the second most common cause of cancer in females, and the third for males. The loss of control over the integrity of epidermal cells in bowel or malignancy can be the cause of colorectal cancer. An effective way to recognize colon cancer at an early stage and substantial treatment can reduce the ensuing death rates to a great extent. To perform Screening of Morphology of Malignant Tumor Cells in the colon, a Gastroenterologist may refer to cancer diagnosis tests for pathological images. In any Histology method, the process takes a significant duration of time due to infinite numbers of glands in the gastrointestinal system, which may lead to irreconcilable outcomes. By diagnosing through computer algorithms, can give practical and contributory results. Hence, accurate gland segmentation is one crucial prerequisite stage to get reliable and informative morphological image data. In recent times, the scholars applied deep learning algorithms to pathological image analysis for the diagnosis of cancer disease. We propose that features extracted from the diagnostic tests, given as input to a deep learning architecture used along with semantic segmentation algorithm, provide results that are accurate than the existing image segmentation algorithms. This work is the extensive review of deep learning architectures used for semantic segmentation on the histological images of the colon.

Here we have summarized many of the aspects that we think should be taken into account when studying PA, along with the newest advances in the field. Objective: Given that the perinatal period is of particular importance for the developing brain, taking into account the continuous collaboration between astrocytes and neurons seems to be essential when studying PA pathogenic mechanisms and effects in the developing brain. As a fore said, the intricate relationship between these cell types plays a decisive role in the normal functioning of the developing CNS. Besides the crucial part they both play under healthy circumstances, there have been also great advances in identifying how this interaction works when brain insult occurs, influencing not only the development of brain injury in the perinatal period, but also the recovery. Conclusion: We have extensively revised several advantages that each cell type has, compensating the disadvantages of the other one, the molecular and signaling pathways that could be activated under HI conditions and that enable crucial collaboration during energy failure.

English182185Ravi SharmaEnglish Pratibha HimralEnglish Rajesh BhawaniEnglishIntroduction: Poison cases are on rising because of ever-increasing social pressures, changing lifestyles and overindulgence in substance abuse. In India poisoning assumes significant importance as it utilizes a major part of our already scarce health care resources and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Aim: We aimed generate a sociodemographic profile of patients presenting with acute poisoning in our region which would help plan rational use of available resources for the prevention and management of these cases. Methods: This was conducted in the Govt. Medical College Mandi at Nerchowk Himachal Pradesh for a period of one year from December 2018 to November 2019. A structured proforma was suitably designed, the sociodemographic details, education level; causative agent; mode of poisoning; the person who brought the patient to hospital; marital status; any history of substance abuse; History of psychiatric illness were recorded. Expert psychiatry opinion was taken in every patient. Results: A total of 145 patients were admitted with acute poisoning. Poisoning was more common in females (79). Predominant age group involved was 18-30 years (46%). Most of the poisoning was seen in literate persons (93%). Poisoning was most often suicidal in intention (76%) done at home (90%) and mostly married (75%). Choice of agent for poisoning was diverse with organophosphorus predominating (15%) as a single agent. Conclusion: The social and peer pressure, marital and family discords, drug abuse, unemployment and psychiatric disorders are the causes behind this increased risk of poisoning. Assurance and education among the population about the safety and hazards of various chemicals used in houses and different occupations will go long way to prevent accidental poisoning.
