Abstract

The present study aimed to find the hidden ideological approaches used by the newspaper editors in theportrayal of their cartoons in the respective newspapers. The target of this research was to achieve a broadspectrum comparison of semiotics as depicted in international newspapers as Dawn based in Pakistan andThe Economist based in Britain. The objectives of the research were achieved by dividing the study into twoparts. At first, the written parts of the cartoons were analyzed, and secondly, the semiotics was analyzed.An integrated framework of analysis was used and the researcher blended the CDA model by NormanFairclough and the semiological framework of Roland Barthes. The study revealed that Dawn presented thedomestic problems of the health care system. Further Dawn presented the severe attacks of Covid-19 andlocusts and the drastic effects of locusts on the agriculture-based economy. The Economist presented anAmerican cultural disorder of racism that has been part of its earlier history. The Economist also highlightedthe precarious state of Brazil and the inefficiency of the government to tackle the spread of Covid-19. It wasconcluded that the semiotics presented in the newspapers portrayed the situation related to Covid-19 andits long-lasting effects have been discussed in the context of culture and social practice. A comparison ofsemiotics was presented at the end of the study.

Abstract

Background: With the new changing lifestyles and the control if infectious diseases, cancer is soon emergingto be one of the leading causes of deaths in developing countries like India. Surgical procedure showsimprovement in survival period for a patient at stage II and III after correcting the nutritional status of thepatients. There is a decline in post-operative complication with patients who underwent surgery. Hence thisstudy was undertaken to study the curative and palliative surgeries in the patients of gastric adenocarcinomaand their hospital stay.Methodology: This was a prospective study in which 50 of gastric adenocarcinoma patients who wereadmitted in the surgery department at Datta Meghe Medical College, Shalinitai Meghe Hospital and ResearchCentre, Nagpur in collaboration with Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Datta Meghe Institute of MedicalSciences, Sawangi Meghe, Wardha, Maharashtra were studied.Results: Majority of patients presented with Stage II (88%) while 12% presented with stage III. 82% patientsunderwent curative surgeries while 18% underwent palliative surgeries. The duration of hospital stays forGastric Adenocarcinoma surgery for Stage II ranges from 6-8 days (median 7 days) whereas for Stage IIIit is 7-8 days (median 7.5 day). A total of 50 patients who underwent surgery for histologically provengastric adenocarcinoma. Out of 50 patients a majority i.e. 88% presented in stage II while 12% presented instage III.Conclusion: On the basis of our observations we concluded that the patients presenting earlier in stage IIundergo curative surgeries most often and mean hospital stay post-surgery around a week.

Abstract

Introduction: In human body among the skeletal system patella is the largest sesamoid bone in thequadriceps tendon in the body. Surgery is required for about one third of patella facture that indicateddamage to the extensor mechanism. Regarding treatment of patellar fracture there is a controversy sinceearliest time. TBW is consider as current gold standard for the displaced transverse patella fractures whereassome surgeons recommend augmentation of TBW with circumferential cerclage wiring to enhance thestrength of the fixation.Aim: The main aim was study between fracture fixation of patella with cerclage and Tension Band Wiringtechnique.Material and Method: Total 62 patients with fracture of patella were included in this study with the agemore than 20 years. Almost for all the patients surgery was performed and tourniquet was also used. Byusing a midline longitudinal incision surgery was done over anterior aspect of the knee. By using tensionband wiring with or without augmented cerclage with stainless steel wire open reduction and internal fixationwere done. After the surgery as post operative knee brace was given so that patients could start range ofmotion at knee without pain. To make sure that whether proper fixation was done or not Post-operativeradiographs were also done.Result: In study total 50 patients were included in which 34(68%) were male and 16(32%) were female.Among 50 patients was included different age group in which more patients were in the age group of 40-50years old as 36%.Conclusion: In the facture of patella modified TBW was better than encirclage wiring in treatment probablybecause of good stability of implant and easier postoperative rehabilitation. Hence use of circumferentialcerclage wiring along with tension band wiring for fractures of patella has no added advantage over fixationwith tension band wiring alone.

Abstract

The state of equilibrium of Dosha, Dhatus, Malas is health and its disequilibrium is known as disease. Thisdisequilibrium may either be Vriddhi or Kshaya. Asthiis thefifth Dhatu among the seven Dhatus .It is theseat of vatadosha and carrying the function of dehadharana. Asthikshayais one of the condition described byAcharya Charak under 18 types Kshaya in which there is kshayaof Asthi Dhatu. According to the principle ofAshraya-ashrayee Bhava, Asthi & Vata are inversely proportional to each other regarding Vriddhi and Kshaya.Vriddhvata leads to Kshaya of Asthi Dhatu. The symptoms of Asthikshaya resemble to Osteoporosis which ismajor health problem of ageing population. It is a skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility tofracture. Fracture is the most common complication of Osteoporosis which increases the risk of morbidityas well as mortality. Vatais the major factor in the Samprapti of Asthikshaya, Sampraptiof Asthikshayaoccurs in two ways- Dhatukshayajanya and Srotorodhajanya. In Srotorodhajanya, the obstruction can becleared by the use of Deepana and Pachana Dravyas. Nidanparivarjana, Shodhanachikitsa including Basti,Shamana Chikitsa including use of Swayoni Dravyas, Sudha Vargiya Dravyas, Guggulukalapa are the majortreatment modalities for Asthikshaya. They help in Vatashamana and as well as improving the bone health.By following Dincharya, Rutucharya and diet regulation, this disease can be prevented. This review articlehighlights on etiopathogenesis of Asthikshaya and its measures as per Ayurvedic perspective.

Abstract

Background: Previous studies have shown varying results with trans-foraminal approach epidural steroidinjections performed with particulate versus non-particulate corticosteroids. The purpose of this study was toinvestigate the difference in pain relief and functional improvement between particulate and non-particulatelumbosacral (MIL) in patients who had undergone both injections through intra-laminar approach. Method:This was a self-controlled, prospective study of 40 patients who underwent both a methylprednisolone anda dexamethasone intra-laminar injection to the same vertebral level and side. Primary outcomes includedpain relief according to the visual analogue scale (VAS) and functional improvement determined by a yes/noanswer to questions regarding mobility and the activities of daily living. Post-injection data was recorded at6, 12, and 24 weeks. Results: A decrease in VAS scores of-3.6 +/- 3,- 3.2 +/- 3.2,-3 +/- 3.1 is noted in methylprednisolone group as compared to better VAS score projected in patients with dexamethasone group assuggested-3.9+/- 3.2,-3.1 +/- 2.9,- 2.2 +/- 3.2 at 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks respectively. Conclusions:Findings positively supports the use of non-particulate steroids for lumbar prolapse inter-vertebral disc withradicular pain in contrast of safety use of particulate steroids for one of treatment modality in dealing withlocalized or radicular pain
