Abstract

Air pollutants that originated from oil refineries and gas pump stations can have a negative effect on humanorgans, especially liver and brain. This study focuses on evaluating the pollutants from oil refinery and gasstation on workers’ health by measuring three hepatic enzymes GOT (Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase),GPT (Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase), ALP(Alkaline phosphatase) and three pituitary gland hormones LH(Luteinizing hormone), FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone), TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone). Study groupswere (i) 33 males from Basra oil refinery workers including 16 smoker and 17 non-smoker (ii) 23 male from Gasstation, 11 of them were smoker while the other 12 are non-smoker (iii) 24 male local volunteers from Basra (allhad non-oil related job) as a control group, 12 smoker and 12 non-smokers. All three groups’ subjects had neitherfamily history of raspatory problems nor diabatic. The results indicated a significance decrease in FSH, LH, TSHhormones and GPT, ALP enzymes of oil refinery workers, comparing to the control group. The same trend wasalso observed among gas station workers, suggesting hepatotoxicity and alternation in pituitary hormones.Pollutants that circulating around oil industry sites can negatively impact human body especially for those whowork near these locations.

Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 the deadly virus, was declared a pandemic by WHO in March, 2020 because of itsvirulent nature. It has been a piece of work to understand the mechanism of action and the disease pathology ofthe virus, due to its novel origin. The quality of healthcare is seen to be severely degrading during these times. Thetwo different types of COVID tests that are commonly available in the facility are RTPCR and Rapid Antigen Testor RAT. These help to identify whether the person is infected with the virus or not. With the current managementbeing successful in majority of the cases, we should also consider strengthening the existing modalities.Objective: To find the prevalence of COVID-19 patients and study their clinical course and outcomeMaterial and methods: Data regarding covid-19 patients was collected on basis of demographic profile by usinggoogle foms questionnaire at Dr. D.Y. Patil Hospital, Navi Mumbai.Results: A total of 500 patients were included in the present study with male preponderance with 61.4%. 99%patients were tested COVID positive, 73.2% had a history of exposure to COVID patients, 80% had a positive travelhistory, 99% lab tests were positive. 50.4% duration of the treatment lasted for 7-14 days. 67.6% were treated inthe wards, whereas, the remaining 32.4% were treated in the ICU. 19.6% patients required mechanical ventilatorsupport. 51% patients required oxygen therapy. 80.2% did not require intubation. All the patients were onantibiotics, and majority of the patients, i.e. 99.8% were on immuno-boosters as well. Antivirals were administeredin 80.6%. 82.8% were discharged with a negative swab. Out of the 17.2% patients with positive swab, mortality wasseen in 6.2% patients. 3.4% patients were referred to different centers, while the treatment of the remaining 7.6%patients was continued for a longer period of time.Conclusion: A stepwise perspective of non-pharmaceutical interventions, screening and testing procedures,implementation and compliance to distancing, hygiene measures and use of masks at airports, railway stations,other public places with pragmatic testing and tracing are effective measures that can be implemented. Worldwide numerous clinical trials are taking place for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19. Although, there is a rapidcomprehensive expansion in regard to COVID-19 and few agents appear to be promising, there are no definitelyproven effective therapies at this time. Evaluation of several agents by Scientists and researchers are progressiveand commendable.

Abstract

Statistical analysis is considered to be the backbone of research and however challenging it is to a clinician, it playsa crucial part for a researcher to comprehend the various presumptions underlying the statistical methods. In thefield of periodontology, statistical analysis is routinely used for management and interpretation of data. Yet, manyperiodontists find it difficult to understand the various statistical methods used in periodontal researches. Thus,this paper aims to cover the basictenetsof statistical analysisin a simplified manner with the help of flowcharts,specially emphasising on understanding few crucial points beforechoosing any statistical test. Later section of thearticle takes an application-based approach by incorporating the already illustratedflowcharts and crucial points.

Abstract

The present study was a prospective study conducted in LVD College, Raichur, Karnataka, and study period wasDecember 2013 to November 2014 (One year). During study period, total of 210 subjects (40 male and 170 female) ofRaichur origin with known blood groups were randomly selected and included in the study. The students were inthe age group between 18 to 28 years. The purpose of the study was to find out the possibility of correlation betweenlip prints and ABO and Rh blood groups. Although a number of studies have been taken up on Dactylographyand Cheiloscopy individually, studies combining features of both dactylography and cheiloscopy are very few.In the view of few literatures correlating dactylography and cheiloscopy and their importance individually in theidentity fixation, the present study carries immense medico-legal importance and could prove to be a valuable steptowards the identification of an individual.

Abstract

Background: There has been a global upsurge in the cases of non-communicable diseases, especially cardiovasculardiseases. Analysis of the leading causes of death in the community is very crucial in understanding and planningthe health care policies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the burden of myocardial infarction in PimpriChinchwad city with the help of the Postmortem examination record analysis.Methods: In this cross sectional study, the data related to 674 deaths in the period of 2019 to mid-2021 wasconsidered. The data was obtained from the postmortem examination records of the Postmortem Centre ofTalegaon Dabhade General Hospital. The obtained data was classified and analyzed with the help of descriptivestatistics in order to find the burden of the leading causes of death, especially of myocardial infarction.Conclusion: Myocardial Infarction was found to be the leading cause of death in the Pimpri Chinchwad arearanging to 33.38%. It was also seen that the deaths due to myocardial infarction was seen more in people of the agegroups 25 to 64 years. These can be prevented by changing lifestyle, diet and reducing risk factors like smoking,obesity and stress. The obtained result also indicates that there is a need for increased cardiac care facilities withmore cardiac ambulance and cardiac care centres in Pimpri Chinchwad city. The other leading causes of deathfound in the secondary analysis of the Postmortem records were death due to head injury (n= 142, 21.06%) andhaemorrhagic shock (n=70, 10.38%).

Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is the second leading cause of disability, affecting 85 percent of peopleworldwide at some point in their life. LBP is viewed as a personal and societal burden due to discomfort andlimited function. Facet joint dysfunction is one of the leading causes of pain and disability. While the MuscleEnergy technique (MET) looks to be a promising treatment, research on MET in combination with exercise therapyis limited.Method: Sixty patients, 18 to 40 years of age, with a history of chronic low back pain will be randomly divided intotwo groups. One group will receive lumbar stabilization exercise training along with muscle energy techniqueand the other group will receive lumbar stabilization exercise training alone respectively for 3 times a weekfor 4 weeks. Data will be collected pre and post the intervention on the Numeric Rating Scale, Oswestry LBPDisability Questionnaire, and Fear-avoidance belief questionnaire.Result: Both groups will be analyzed for pain, disability, and patients’ fear-avoidance belief regarding physicalactivity Baseline characteristics including means and standard deviations (SDs) will be analyzed. Categoricalvariables will be analyzed with a chi-square test and continuous variables will be analyzed using independentt-tests.

Abstract

Background: Although the genetic information of STRs has been established over the entire world, the differentcharacteristics between populations influenced the STRs information. FBI’s guideline recommended to expandadditional number of STRs loci to increase power of discrimination and exclusion. Unfortunately, the currentdata of STRs in northern Thai population have not fully covered additional loci. The aim of this study is to obtainaccurate allele frequencies of STRs among northern Thai population.Methods: The genetic profiles ofunrelated individuals were characterized by Investigator 24 plex Go kit. Allelefrequencies and forensic statistical parameters were calculated within GenoProof®3and Arlequin ver 3.5.2.2.Results: The SE33 and TH01 loci represented largest and lowest number of different alleles, respectively. Therewas no significant deviation from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) after Bonferroni correction in all loci(p=0.002). The SE33 locus showed the greatest PD and PE, whereas the TPOX represented the lowest PD and PE.The studied population (northern Thai) appear to be most closely related to previously reported populationscontaining of Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese based on allele frequency.Conclusion: Our results recommended that current autosomal STRs data extended the application of STRs typingin parentage analyses and human identification among the localized population in northern region of Thailanddue to highly informative polymorphic data.
