 Abstract

The influence of SES on postmenopausal 40 rural women was studied during 2015. The women who attained menopause and belonging to 35-55 years age range were selected from 4 villages of 2 talukas of Dharwad District. The postmenopausal symptoms were measured by using Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) developed by Barlin. (1992) with 11 items. The responses on each item was scored as 0-4 as none to very severe. MRS was categorized as low (0-14), medium (15-29) and high (30-44) further it was divided into somatic, psychological and urinary symptoms. The Socio Economic Status (SES) of family was assessed by using Socio Economic Status scale developed by Agarwal et al. (2005). Correlation was used to assess the relationship between SES and postmenopausal problems. Results revealed that in case of SES majority (63%) fell under lower middle, while 20% of them were poor and 16% in upper middle category. It was noted that 75% of women completed education upto primary level and 25% of them not attended the school. While with regard to MRS majority of women (63%) faced somatic problems, while 26% of them showed psychological problems and only 10% had urinary problems. There was a positive and highly significant relationship between SES and postmenopausal problems thus indicating that SES influenced the menopausal problems. Hence there is a need for empowerment of women economically and educationally so that they will take care of postmenopausal health

 Abstract

Background: Smoking causes decrease in lung function test and smokers develop respiratory impairment. Hence an effect of smoking on PEFR and absolute eosinophil count is studied. Method: 60 male and 30 female smokers aged between 25 to 40 years were studied. Apart from routine blood examination Absolute eosinophilia count was studied in each patient, spirometer was used to record peak expiratory flow rate. Results: Heart rate, SBP, DBP, PEFR and absolute Eosinophilic count were compared in both sexes and observed significant P value (p<0.001) in every parameters. The correlation of mean values between heart rate and PFR, PEFR and Eosinophilic, count, PEFR and SBP, PEFR and DBP had also significant differences in both sexes. Conclusion: This comparative study between PEFR and Absolute eosinophilia in both sexes will help the Pathologist, physician to treat such smokers efficiently so that they can regain their health and lead normal life by avoiding smoking.

 Abstract

The Boey score is the most commonly used scoring system for risk stratification because of its simplicity and high predictive value for mortality and morbidity in cases of gastric perforation. This score is widely used in daily practice because it only assesses 3 assessment components; namely the onset of perforation, shock at first admission, and comorbid disease; which is easy to do and has a fairly good accuracy. In Boey score 2, the mortality rate is still high, so research on the factors that most influence mortality at Boey Score 2 needs to be done. This study uses secondary data from medical records of patients who meet criteria of inclusion and exclusion. This study is a comparative test using a cohort analytic observational study design (longitudinal retrospective), comparing the components of the Boey score which is the most influential in predicting the mortality rate in gastric perforated patients. Boey score 1 and Boey score 2 at RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya. A total of 65 subject were included in this study, consisted of 43 men (66.2%) and 22 women (33.8%). We found 16 patients (24.6%) with Boey score 1 and 49 patients (75.4%) with a Boey score 2. From the Boey score component, 49 patients (75.4%) were obtained with the onset of perforation> 24 hours, 31 patients (50.8%) with preoperative shock, and 34 patients (52.3%) with comorbidities. Comorbidities in study subjects included hypertension in 17 patients (26.2%), diabetes mellitus in 4 patients (6.2%), heart disease in 4 patients (6.2%), lung disease in 5 patients (7.7%), and kidney disease in 7 patients (10.8%). Shock is the most dominant Boey Score predictability factor that affects the mortality rate in gastric perforation patients with Boey score 1 and Boey score 2.

Background: As covid-19 is declared as public health emergency since January-2020 Medical Professionals and researches were eagar to test the lethal virus. One test was Real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and another was Antibody tests have emerged as vital technique to prove positivity of the virus. Method: 92 patients having clinical symptoms of covid-19 and 92 controlled have studied. Throat swab is collected by using a foam swab with transport medium for detection by RT-PCR detection. Blood sample (5 ml) was collected from each patient for antibody test. Results: RT PCR was 75% positive sensitivity was 81.5 % and specificity was 100%. Antibody positivity was 80%, sensitivity was 86.9%, and specificity was 84.7%. In combined (Antibody + RT-PCR) test 96.7% positive 96.7% was sensitivity, 93.4% was specificity. Conclusion: RT-PCR test gives an idea if people within the immediate proximity of newly confirmed patients are infected by the virus. However first negative result does not completely lack of infection. Therefore (two) 2 weeks quarantine isolation is essential. In such scenario antibody test data gives an important insight on spread of the virus. Hence both tests are equally important to confirm the diagnosis of covid-19.

 Abstract

In the recent years, scientific and technological advancements have been made in the research and development of novel drug delivery systems by overcoming physiological troubles such as short gastric residence times and unpredictable gastric emptying times. Gastric emptying of dosage form is extremely variable process and ability to prolong and control the emptying time. Gastric transit time is valuable asset for dosage forms, which reside in the stomach for a long period of time than conventional dosage form. Several approaches are currently utilized in the prolongation of the gastric residence times, including floating drug delivery systems, swelling and expanding systems, polymeric bioadhesive systems, modified-shape systems, high-density systems and other delayed gastric emptying devices. The purpose of writing this review on floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) was to compile the recent literature with special focus on the principal mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention. This review explains briefly about types of floating system, advantages, limitation, floating mechanism, factors affecting floating system, drug candidates suitable for floating, evaluation parameters and application of the system.

Background: By using physical activity questionnaire-adolescent (PAQ-A) we can measure the physical activity level in school children and academic achievement. Aims and objective: to find out correlation between physical fitness and academic achievement in school children. Methodology: 297 subjects were taken; all subjects were allotted a questionnaire and explained how to fill it. The physical activity of subjects were found with the help of physical activity questionnaire-adolescent (PAQ-A) to find out the level of physical activity from the last 7 days includes sports or dance and other activities. Result: The updated data were collected for physical activity questionnaire. descriptive statistics including mean and standard deviation of age. Frequency percentage of gender and standard were analyses by pie chart. Conclusion: Physical fitness in children is important but they tend to lead a sedentary life due to burden of studies and excessive use of modern technology for entertainment. This study concludes that there is decrease in the physical activity and academic achievement.

 Abstract

The harsh environment has a significant impact on structures in coastal areas. As a result, building and maintaining structures to ensure that they last as long as they are supposed to might be difficult at times. Due to sea level rise, there will be significant variations in temperature, humidity, water density, wave and current factors, all of which will have an impact on the structures. It hastens the degeneration of the structure, mostly through corrosion, sulphate assault, freezing and thawing, and other factors. The industrial structure in the harbour is taken into account for this study. Because to the hostile marine environment, the breathing structure was seriously injured the roof and truss of the structure are highly corroded and may fall any time and the RC members are losing their strength. To assess the damage to the structure and the state of the existing structure, visual inspection and non-destructive tests such as UPV, rebound hammer, pH, carbonation, corrosion test, delamination, and cover metre tests were undertaken.
