European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1-6
Background:- Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2the causative pathogen of coronavirus disease 2019became a global threat to human health. Liver impairment had been frequently reported as a common manifestation and clinical significance is still unclear particularly in patients with underlying chronic liver disease.Aims:-The summarise the changes in liver function tests during Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 infection and its impact of COVID‐19 in patients with Chronic Liver Disease.Methods:-A literature review using online database Pub Med was done using the search terms “SARS‐CoV‐2”, “COVID‐19”, “liver”, “cirrhosis” and “liver transplantation”.Conclusion:-COVID‐19 is frequently associated with different degrees of abnormal liver function tests most notably transaminases which are usually transitory and of mild degree. This Available evidence suggests that liver injury may have result from direct pathogenic effect by the virus and systemic inflammation or toxicity from commonly used drugs in this subset of patients. Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2infections in children is associated with minimal or no increase in liver enzymes thus the presence of abnormal liver function tests should trigger evaluation for underlying liver diseases.It seems that patients with Chronic Liver Disease are not at greater risk for acquiring the infection these are cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune liver diseases or liver transplant may has a greater risk for severe COVID‐19.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 13-18
Stressful life events always create a disturbance in the normal life of any organism and thus is a threat to the homeostasis. This triggers off a physiological response which needs adaptation and response. Mild stress may subside over a period of time but if stress continues, it can cause damage and exacerbation of disease process. One such disease related to stress is ulcerative colitis. It was first described in mid-1800s. Ulcerative colitis is an idiopathic disease with chronic inflammation of the colonic mucosa. It commonly involves the rectum and can extend in a proximal and continuous fashion and other parts of the colon are affected. Though there is still a controversy over the role of psychosocial factors in the development and modulation of common gastrointestinal disorders, but researches do establish bidirectional interactions between the brain and gut, and that certain stressful life events frequently precede exacerbation of symptoms in gastrointestinal disorders.
Intrahepatic Cholestasis Of Pregnancy: Perinatal Outcome And Its Relations With Maternal Bile Acid Levels.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 19-25
Introduction: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (IHCP) is characterised by unexplained pruritus in pregnancy associated with abnormal liver function tests (LFTs), along with or without raised bile acids, which resolves soon after delivery. Overall prevalence of intrahepatic cholestasis is around 0.1-2%. It mainly affects patients in second and third trimester. Maternal morbidities related to obstetrics cholestasis are mainly intense pruritus, but in case of perinatal outcome, it has significant adverse effects like preterm birth, meconium stained amniotic fluid, respiratory distress syndrome, increased admission to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and stillbirth. Aims and objectives:The aim of this study was to evaluate different perinatal outcome in patients of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and co-relate it with the maternal bile acids levels. Material and methods:This was an observational study.All the pregnant patients with history of pruritus and abnormal liver function test, with bile acid levels > 10micromol/litre, who fits into definition of obstetric cholestasis were included in this study, as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: During the study period, 54 patients were selected for the study and were divided into two groups. 33 patients in group 1 with bile acid levels <40 micromol/litre and 21 patients in group 2 with bile acid levels > 40 micromol/litre. More fetal complications were seen in group 2 when compared to group 1. There was 2 intrauterine death (IUD) and one still birth in group 2 and none in group 1. In group 2 there was 8 low birth weight babies whereas there was one baby in group 1.There were 6 babies in group 2 with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and required intubation whereas in group 1, 3 babies had RDS and 4 required intubation. In group 2, 10 babies required neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission whereas in group 1, 4 babies required NICU care. Conclusion: Increased bile acid levels are related to adverse perinatal outcome and can be used for monitoring the progress of the IHCP.However,timely decision of termination of pregnancy as opposed to inuterocontinuation of pregnancy comparing the risks over benefits plays very important role in favourable outcome of pregnancy.

Comparative Clinical Study Ofrole Of Mustadikwathghanvati In Sthoulya (Obesity) By Antaparimarjanandmustadichurna In Bahiparimarjanchikista
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 70-83
Sthoulya(Obesity) is the major and basic cause of lifestyle disorders like Diabetes mellitus,Hypertension, Coronary heart disease. Sthoulya(Obesity) is increasing at an alarming rate in developed industrialized countries which are undergoing rapid nutrition and lifestyle transition. Obesity is one of the most effective diseases which affect someone’s social, physical and mental status. In Ayurveda; Sthoulya (Obesity) is regarded as Medoroga, a disorder of MedaDhatu, which includes fat tissue and fat metabolism. According to Ayurveda;Sthoulya begins with an imbalance of Doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha), Agni (digestive fire), Malas (waste products) or an imbalance of Srotas (microcirculatory channels). This collection of imbalances then interferes with the formation of tissues or Dhatus and leads to a tissue imbalance that we experience as excess weight.
Overweight and obesity are linked to more deaths worldwide than underweight. Overall, about 13% of the world adult population (15% of women and 11% of men) was obese in 2016. The worldwide prevalence of obesity nearly tripled between 1975 and 2016. Around 5-8.8% of school children are obese in India. And if the rates increase at a pace like this, 27 million Indian children will be obese by 2030.
Now a day’s every person is running after life’s goal hence does not have time to think and act for healthy life and not able to follow the proper Dincharya, Ritucharya, Dietetics rules and regulations. Due to artificial living lifestyle, person suffers from so many disorders for themselves;Sthoulyais one of them.
Keeping in the view of above concepts, research work entitled“Comparative Clinical Study ofrole of MustadiKwathGhanvati in Sthoulya (Obesity) by AntaparimarjanandMustadiChurna in BahiparimarjanChikista”is taken into consideration.
The result of study showed that excessive intake of oily and fatty food, sedentary lifestyle, and psychological factor along with genetically predisposition play a major role in aetiopathogenesis of Sthoulya(obesity).
Furthermore it was also found that MustadiKwathGhanvati effectively helps in reducing weight & BMI ratio. The effect of study shows that MustadiKwathGhanvati provided better relief as compare to MustadichurnaUdhavartana in the management of Sthoulya

2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 125-129
Research on carcinogenesis is growing, possible correlation between cancer and other chronic illness is slowly being unveiled. Tuberculosis, one of the commonly occurring chronic granulomatous inflammation is considered asa risk factor for development of malignancy. The pathophysiology and practical implications of their co-existence have received little attention.
We present a case of elderly male, who was treated with antitubercular drugs thirty years ago for pulmonary tuberculosis. Recently patient presented with pain in the abdomen and loss of weight. Endoscopy of gastrointestinal tract showed ulceroproliferative growth involving pyloric region of the stomach with antral thickening. Cut section showing grey white growth with two adjacent ulcers. Gross examination of liver showed grey brown lobular mass in segment eight. Lymph node metastasis was seen in lesser and greater omentum. Special stains Mucicarmine&Alcian blue were positive but ZN stain for AFB was negative.
Pathologist needs to be aware of the coexistence of Koch’s and malignancy as an uncommon event, maintaining a high index of suspicion for simultaneous and/or misleading presentations. Tuberculosis infection present in immunocompromised patient is well known. Present case highlights occurrence of tuberculous infection in the liver coexisting with gastric adenocarcinoma.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 199-206
Marma Science holds an important place in Ayurveda especially from the Surgical point of view. AcharyaSushruta has given a lot of importance to Marma describing them as physio – anatomical vital structures where concentrated life force energy (Prana) is located. Out of the 107 Marmas described in our texts, IndrabastiMarma is a shakhagat (Limbs)Marma located in both upper and lower limb. The Samhitas describe the ill effect (viddhalakshana) produced by Injury to IndrabastiMarmaas death after a peculiar interval, which is caused due to gradual blood loss within 15-30 days. In this fast-moving lifestyle, road traffic accidents are quite common. Limb injuries are quiet commonest injuries in RTA.The present work was conducted to revalidate whether the impact of injury on IndrabastiMarma, mentioned by Samhitais applicable in today’s era.This observational study conducted on 30 patients of IndrabastiMarmaViddhata (injury)revealed that IndrabastiMarma asKalantarPranaharaMarma in maximum cases was converted to either Vaikalyakara (deformity producing) or Rujakara (pain causing) type. The fatality percentage due to IndrabastiMarma Injury has gone down in todays developed modern medical science.
A Review On Etiological Factors Responsible For Lifestyle Disorders
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 207-213
Ayurveda has a holistic approach towards lifestyle disorders. In Ayurveda there are many diseases which are caused due to management of lifestyle. The burden of these lifestyle disorders is increasing day by day in the society. There are many etiological factors which cause lifestyle disorders. The life style disorders considered in Ayurveda are Sthaulya (obesity), Premeh (diabetes), Asthisandhigahtaroga (musculoskeletal disorders), Rakatgatavata (Hypertension), Hridyaroga (coronary artery diseases), cancer, psychosomatic disorders (Alzheimer’s disease), Kalibhata, Bandya (infertility) etc. These all disease is having lifestyle management causes for which they are taken under lifestyle disorders. They are rising in the society due to modernization, affluence of science technological development which leads to more sedentary life styles, which disturb the physical, mental and social wellbeing of an individual. In Ayurveda the main cause of any disease is improper functioning of the Dosha and Dhatus. And they are disturbed by the etiological factors which influence them. Tridoshas are influenced by both AaharVihar etiological factors. In addition to these etiological factors there is a main factor which cause lifestyle disorders is stress. All these factors which are responsible for the disturbance of Tridoshas and Dhatus are the main cause for life style disorders.
Study Of Shirogat (Head Region) Avedhyasira And Marma With Special Reference To Adhipati And Shankha As Avedhyasira And Sadhyapranharmarma.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 214-221
Ayurved is science of healthy life, which has its unique and useful basic concepts. Out of these concepts, Avedhyasira and Marma-Vigyan are important structural concepts which are described by AcharyaSushrutin SushrutaSamhitaSharirsthan and by AcharyaVagbhat in AstangHridayaSharirsthan. Without studying Avedhyasira and Marma, Surgeon cannot perform skilled and perfect surgery as well as for physician it will be definitely difficult to treat the patients without knowing the perfect location of these structures. In our present study we emphasized on Avedhyasira and Marmain the head region. Specially Adhipati and Shankhathese two structures which are studying in the text as Marma and Avedhyasira are the same, which in the modern texts are given as vital parts. With the help of correlation with modern anatomy, here we try to explain exact anatomicalstructure mentioned as Adhipati and ShankhaAvedhyasiraand sadhyapranharMarma.
In ancient time AcharyaSushrut and Vagbhat have clearly mentioned these structures from which incision should not be taken and more care should be taken as they are vital parts and fatal of life. Injury to these structures may cause death also.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 267-274
Contraceptives provide women with a safe and effective means to avoid unwanted pregnancies or pregnancies that may place their health at risk; these pregnancies may have serious consequences, including illness, disability, and even death. Many of these deaths occur when women with unwanted pregnancies resort to unsafe abortion. Each year there are about 250 Million pregnancies globally and one third of these are unintended and 20% of these undergo induced abortion. In Low income countries, more that one third of the 182 million pregnancies is unintended; the fate of 19% will be induced abortion and 11% of this is unsafe. In low income countries, the women who do not use any contraceptive contribute to two third of unintended pregnancies, where more than 100 million married women have unmet need for contraception. Unsafe abortion has much ill effects in women's health, each year about 68,000 women die because of unsafe abortion, and millions of women end up with many complications of unsafe abortion, survey methods used for this comparative study, the sample consisted of 50, 25 from urban and 25 from rural areas. Self structuredquestionarries tools was used. The result shows that In rural group, 44% of them women had poor knowledge (Score 0-4), 52% of them had average knowledge (Score 5-8) and remaining 4% of them had good knowledge (score 9-12) regarding emergency contraceptive. In urban group, majority of 80% of the women had good knowledge (score 9-12) and 20% of them had average knowledge (score 5-8) regarding emergency contraceptive.

Indian government implemented as 55-days lockdown of the country .He started on 25thMarch 2020 to reduce the transmission of the virus. The outbreak is inextricably linked to the economy of the nation,as it has dramatically impeded industrial sectors because people worldwide are currently cautious about engaging in business in the affected regions.
Thyroid Profile In Goiter Patients
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 301-307
INTRODUCTION: The most prevalent endocrine condition in clinical practice is thyroid dysfunction, and approximately half of the population with thyroid dysfunction remains undiagnosed. In India, too the burden of thyroid diseases is significant. For normal human growth and mental development, iodine is an important micronutrient with an RDA of 100-150μg. Iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) is a complex clinical and subclinical disorder triggered predominantly by insufficient intake of adequate iodine in foods. One of the most common micronutrient deficiencies globally is iodine deficiency. In clinical practice, thyroid gland enlargement is a common issue associated with iodine deficiency, an increase in the amount of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), natural goitrogen, smoking, and lack of selenium and iron. At the age of puberty, Goiter is characterized by the enlargement of the entire thyroid gland. It is found in patients who have either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism or elevated levels of TSH. The goal of the present study was to identify associations of goiter patients with thyroid hormone levels.
METHODS:The cross sectional study was carried out at SMHRC, Maharashtra India during the period of 8th January 2020 to 7th November 2020. We enrolled 144 patients (72study group and 72control group) aged 20-35 years with goiter (Thyroid dysfunction) and normal subject from Nagpur. In each patient, thyroid function test were determined.
RESULTS:The outcome indicates a substantial difference between goiter and control group individuals in hypothyroid and hyperthyroid patients. The study concluded that goiter prevalence depends on the higher and lower concentration of TSH.
CONCLUSION:This study concluded that goiter prevalence may rely on the degree of specifically normal and abnormal TSH levels of hormonal dysfunction. As possible predictors of goiter, female gender, thyroid nodules, and TSH levels were established. The presence of thyroid nodules was predicted by the female gender, TSH levels and thyroid volume. The epidemiological profile of the patients with goiter is warranted in future systematic investigation.
To Assess Hba1c In Non Diabetic Subclinical Hypothyroidism Patients
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 308-313
Introduction: India has the highest prevalence of prediabetes, hypothyroidism, and diabetes. In females, subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is more prevalent than in men. Studies in non-diabetic hypothyroid patients have reported elevated HbA1c. Standard serum triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels dropping from 4.2 to 10 (mIU/L) are classified as SH.
Aim: To study the HbA1c level in the non-diabetic SH patients and to compare the HbA1c level with the controls.
Materials and Methods:This study was a case-control study conducted between September 2020 and November 2020 in the Department of Medicine at DMMC & SMHRC, Nagpur in collaboration with ABVRH, Sawangi (Meghe). For the analysis, a total of 120 participants were considered, 60 in each case and 60 in the control groups. Parents and friends of patients who were matched by age and sex were monitored.
Results: Since there was no statistically significant difference in age, sex, FBS, haemoglobin, serum T3 and serum T4 levels between the case group with subclinical hypothyroidism and the control group with normal healthy subjects, the only difference between the case and control groups was serum TSH levels.
Conclusion:Our data suggest that the non-diabetic subjects with SH show high levels of the HbA1c. Therefore, the effect of altered levels of the serum TSH on the HbA1c must be considered when interpreting the HbA1c for the diagnosis of diabetes in the SH patients
Study Of Hba1c In Iron Deficiency Anaemia
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 314-319
INTRODUCTION:
Iron deficiency anaemia increased when iron intake concentrations, iron reserves, and iron loss by the body was inadequate to completely sustain erythrocyte development. Anemia with iron deficiency rarely causes death, but the effect on human health is severe. This disorder is quickly diagnosed and treated in developed countries, but it is often ignored by doctors. On the other hand, in underdeveloped nations, it is a health issue that affects large portions of the population.Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) represents the glycemic status of the patient over the previous three months. Previous studies have reported that, independent of glycemia, iron deficiency can increase HbA1C concentrations.
Aim:This study is aimed to analyze the effect of iron deficiency anemia on HbA1c levels inanaemicpopulation and compare with healthy individuals.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study included 50 patients of iron deficiency anemia and 50 healthysubjectsas the control group. This is a cross-sectional investigation wherein cases were out-patients. Patients went to the Directly Observed Treatment Short-course focus in the Dept. of General Medicine, DattaMeghe Medical college, SMHRC, Nagpur in collaboration with JNMC, ABVRH (DattaMegheInstitute of MedicalSciences Deemed To Be University), Sawangi, Wardha, Maharashtra.
RESULT:HBA1cour results suggested that IDA was associated with higher concentrations of HbA1c.The mean HbA1c of cases was 6.81 % while it was 5.04 % in healthy control. Application of statistical test shows that the difference of HbA1c between case and control group was statistically significant.CONCLUSION:In this study, we observed a positive association between IDA and elevated HbA1C level in non diabetic population. HbA1C rises with severity of anaemia. In iron depletion, this spurious elevation of HbA1C contributes to over or under diagnosis of diabetes at the cutoff point (6.5 percent).
Level Of Creatinine And Cystatatin C In Different Stages Of Kidney Failure
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 320-326
INTRODUCTION:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health concern, and for the assessment of patients with CKD, estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is vital. Serum biomarkers, such as serum creatinine and serum cystatin C, have been commonly used to test renal function in patients who have chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is necessary to recognise the elevated risk of CKD progression to delay the deterioration of kidney failure and to plan for the evolution to end-stage renal disease. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare serum cystatin C and creatinine diagnostic output with measured GFR and estimated GFR in patients with CKD.
METHODS:This study was conducted at SMHRC, Maharashtra India throughout the period of September 2019 to August 2020. We enrolled 100patients (50 males and 50 females) aged 40-60years with CKD stages2–5from Nagpur. In each patient, serum creatinine and serum cystatin C were determined. Serum cystatin C was measured with a particle-enhanced nephelometric immunoassay (PENIA) method. The detection methods for SCr were the enzymatic method and the Jaffe’s method. GFR was measured using diethylenetriaminepenta aceticacid (DTPA) renal scan method.
Results: In females, serum cystatin C had significantly greater diagnostic specificity than serum creatinine. In males, no distinction between serum cystatin C and serum creatinine was observed. Serum cystatin C's diagnostic accuracy was significantly greater than that of creatinine.
Conclusion: In young and elderly patients with CKD, serum cystatin C showed a high correlation with measured GFR compared with creatinine. Cystatin C is therefore a good alternative marker for CKD patients compared to creatinine. Our findings show that in patients with mild to moderately impaired kidney function, serum cystatin C is a reliable marker of GFR and has greater diagnostic accuracy than serum creatinine and measured clearance of creatinine.
Level Of Interleukin 6, Malondialdehyde And Calcium In Hypo And Hyper Thyroidism
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 327-332
INTRODUCTION:Thyroid hormones are essential throughout life for the regulation of development, calorigenesis, and metabolic rate. They operate on almost all organs in the body, including the gut and the visceral, so disturbances in the function of the thyroid may have gastrointestinal manifestations and concomitant effects on the immune system on body tissues. It is possible that cytokines play an important role in thyroid autoimmune disease. IL-6 is a 26 KD protein that is produced by fibroblasts, endothelial cells, monocytes, and T lymphocytes. Typically, hyperthyroidism can cause limited serum calcium elevation. In up to 20 percent of patients with hyperthyroidism, asymptomatic serum calcium elevation has been reported and is due to increased bone resorption and subsequent release of calcium from the bone into the bloodstream.There are well-known effects of thyroid hormones on mitochondrial oxygen intake. Total antioxidant status (TAS) provides information on all antioxidants in the organism, while Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a marker of lipid peroxidation that is used to measure lipid peroxidation due to increased oxidative stress.
METHODS:The study was carried out at SMHRC, Maharashtra India during the period of August 2019 to May 2020. We enrolled 150patients (50 hyperthyroidism Female, 50 hypothyroidism Female and 50 normal females) aged 25-50 years. The control subjects and patient groups were not taking any medication that affect thyroid metabolism.Serum IL-6 was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.MDA was estimated by TBA method.
Results: In hyperthyroid women's cells, the development of IL-6 by blood mononuclear cells was higher. Substantial increased levels of IL-6 were observed in untreated hyperthyroid patients relative to healthy controls (p<0.001). Hyperthyroidism may be associated with hypercalcemia symptoms. Compared to controls, MDA was elevated in hypothyroid patients.
Conclusion: We found that serum IL-6 increased in hyperthyroidism patients, but reduced in hypothyroidism patients, and normal in control group. The correlation of hypercalcemia with hyperthyroidism should be known to the clinician. These findings indicate an increased malondialdehyde in hypothyroid states, which can be clarified by both the inadequate rise in antioxidant level and the altered lipid metabolism in these cases. This may promote early diagnosis and effective intervention.
Study Of Micro-Albuminuria In Chain Smokers: A Case-Control Study
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 333-339
INTRODUCTION:
The major causes of cancer and death from kidney failure among males worldwide are tobacco consumption such as smoking and chewing. Excessive morbidity and mortality from a number of diseases are associated with smoking. In cross-sectional studies and in selected population samples, the link between cigarette smoke and albuminuria has already been seen. In Caucasian populations with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, it has been shown that cigarette smoking raises the risk of microalbuminuria. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to determine microproteinuria and other renal functions in smokers and to determine whether smoking is associated with an increased risk of renal disease.
Material and Methods: The present study included 100 subjects of age group 35-55 years. Out which 75 were cigarette smokers and 25 were normal healthy control. Microalbuminuria was estimated by biochemistry fully auto-analyzer.This study is based in part on secondary data from a cross-sectional analysis of this study population that has been presented in detail previously.
Results:In the current study, relative to non-smokers, we observed substantial increased levels of urinary albumin and urinary albumin creatinine ratio in cigarette smokers. The level of microalbuminuria and urinary albumin creatinine ratio was directly linked to smoking levels. Among smokers, 55 had microalbuminuria (> 20 mg / L) and 45 had an increased ratio of creatinine to urinary albumin. The level of urea, creatinine, creatinine clearance was comparable.
Conclusion: The creatinine ratio of urine albumin and urinary albumin is directly linked to the amount of cigarettes smoked each day. Smokers have a 4-fold higher microalbuminuria rate than nonsmokers.
Oxidative Stress And Anti Oxidant Status In Male Infertility.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 340-348
Background: one of the major causes of infertility is a defective sperm. The male factor of couple infertility is estimated to be about 25 percent to 50 percent. Sperm DNA integrity is important to successful fertilization and the normal development of embryos. Furthermore, sperm oxidative stress (OS) is associated with decreased sperm motility, decreased acrosome reaction, DNA damage and lower levels of implantation for in vitro fertilization.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on two groups of 40 infertile men and 40 fertile men. Blood sample and semen sample was collected.
Result:Seminal MDA was highly increased found in infertile men compared to fertile healthy men and serum level of antioxidant are low in infertile men as compare to fertile healthy men.
Conclusion:The present study concludes that oxidative stress was involved in low sperm quality and male infertility's etiological agent, they should take the antioxidant rich diet and antioxidant therapy to boost infertility, and the measurement of MDA could be a useful diagnostic tool to assess oxidative stress.

Introduction:Obesity is a health and dietary problem in both developed and developing countries, Obese people have a higher risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular, hypertensive, dyslipidaemia and cancer. This would also increase the frequency of oxidative stress due to the difference in the number of oxidants and antioxidants, which contributes to unpaired mitochondria and β oxidation, resulting in increased reactive oxygen species.Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH), and non- antioxidants such as vitamin C, E act as free scavengers, therebyreducing oxidative stress. Thus, we aimed to study Antioxidant levels in this study mainly, Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione peroxidase, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 Obese patients and 100 healthy controls and thelevels of Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione peroxidase, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E are measured before and after giving supplements.
Results:In obese patients Superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were 142.15±21.31, Glutathione Peroxidase levels were 1.941±2.36, Vitamin C levels were 0.29±0.08 and Vitamin E levels were 3.906±1.31 which is lower than normal range.
Conclusion:Present study concludes that estimation of antioxidant capacity is used as one of the biological markers for monitoring oxidative stress in obese persons.

INTRODUCTION:
AIM: correlation of clinical profile and hypothyroidism in female patients at Nagpur region
MATERIAL:This was a cross-sectional study. 220 females’ patients of hypothyroidism attending fromMedicine OPD and IPD were selected for the present study during Dec 2019 to Nov 2020. Demographic details of patientswere recorded for age. Clinical history of patients was noted in detail and their general examination was conducted.
RESULT:On basis of symptoms as per age group.Weight gain was more prevalent in patients within age group of 26-30 followed by age group of 36-40 and the numbers were less below 20 age group. Dry skin was found more in age group of 26-30 and 55 and above patients, only 3 patients within age group of 30 -40 were found to have constipation. Cold intolerance was seen in patients within age group of 26-30, 31-35 and 46-50. Depression was more common between age group of (31-35) followed by (21-25) & (41-45). Menstrual problem was common between age group of (21-25) followed by (26-30) and few cases was only seen in age group below 20 and age group of (41-45). Dyspnoea was common in age group above 55. Levels of T3 were high between ae group of (41-45) followed by age group above 50 and decreased in between age group of (46-50). T4 level was high between age group of (36-40) followed by (26-30) and low between age group of (21-25). TSH level was increased in cases with age group above 50, followed byage group of(31-35)& (21-25) lowered between age group of (46-50). Level of TCH was increased in age group above 50 and lowered between age group of below 20. Triglycerides levels was increased between age group of (41-45) and decreased between age group below 20. HDL levels were found to be decreased with increasing age as it was decreased in age above 50 as compared to age below 20.
CONCLUSION:Weight gain may directly be associated with hypothyroidism as Thyroid hormone regulates metabolism in both animals and humans. Present findings reveal old age is more affected. Any patient presenting with weight gain, dry skin,dyspnoea, constipation, cold intolerance, depression, menstrual abnormalities should be suspected of hypothyroidism.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 368-371
Background: Vertical sutures between two halves of the frontal bone that stretch from the anterior fontanelle (bregma) to the nasion are metopic sutures. It is called metopism when the full suture persists between bregma and nasion, while if only a small part persists, it is called incomplete metopic suture.
Aims & Objectives: The present study is aimed at the presence of recurrent metopic sutures in different types in Central Indian adult skulls.
Materials and Methods: The current research was carried out using 100 dry human skulls from the Department of Anatomy & Forensic Medicine obtained from adults. The skulls and their morphological differences were closely investigated for the presence of metopic suture.
Results: 100 adult dry human skulls were analysed in the current study, of which 27 (27 percent) of the skulls displayed recurrent metopic sutures. In 6 (6 percent) of cases, full metopic suture (metopism) was observed. Persistent incomplete metopic sutures were revealed in 17 (17 per cent) of skulls. In 6 (6 percent) of cases, the linear form was observed among the morphological variations. The occurrence of U shaped variation & V shaped variation was shown by 3 skulls each.
Conclusion: Continuous metopic sutures are often misdiagnosed as fractures, so radiologists, forensic specialists, and neurosurgeons must have knowledge of metopic suture and its variations.

VALUE OF HYSTEROSCOPY AND GENETIC RESEARCH OF WOMEN WITH ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING IN PERIMENOPAUSE
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 409-416
The perimenopause period is characterized by a gradual extinction of ovarian function, during which hypoluteinism is replaced by anovulation with relative hyperestrogenia and then hypoestrogenia. At any stage of perimenopause, there is a high probability of the formation of menstrual dysfunction, in particular, abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). The frequency of AUB
in premenopause reaches 60-70% among gynecological diseases [5, 12, 18]. Today, hysteroscopy is becoming increasingly important as a method for detecting intrauterine pathology in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding. [11.13]. The pathology of the endometrium and uterine cavity is represented by hyperplastic processes, uterine body leiomyoma, developmental abnormalities (Müller's abnormalities), inflammatory and immunopathological conditions, tumor processes that are clinically manifested by abnormal bleeding, as well as changes in neighboring organs and systems resulting from tumor damage.

In this review collected from the literature on usage of laser in oral minor surgery based on a Medline search in the time period between the years: 2008 and 2013, the most current evidence on laser-assisted oral minor surgery is going to be surveyed. Lasers in oral surgery are much useful in almost all surgical procedures in dentistry. More developed and innovative lasers are available in commercial markets. Dentists will be more knowledgeable if they tend to attend seminars regarding lasers to get used to the latest technologies. Laser is a monochromatic, collimated, coherent, and intense beam of light produced by stimulated emission of radiation from a light source. Lasers are classified according to different factors among which is the classification based on laser active medium such as gas, liquid, solid and semiconductor, which identifies and distinguishes the type of emitted laser beam.
Analgesic effect of dermatological patch in orthodontic Patients
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 441-448
Background:There are various routes in drug delivery system including intra-venous, intra-muscular, oral, sublingual etc. In all these routes time of action of drug, life of the drug differs. In oral route the drug is absorbed into circulation then it is metabolised in liver and then only the action of drug begins. As in transdermal patches the action of the drug is slow but has a long life i.e.., the effect of drug in the body is long compared to other routes. Dental pain is very common in orthodontic treatment due to the movement of the tooth and the pressure exerted by the orthodontic system. So this study will involve in evaluation of pain relief in patients taking tablets verses patients who are not taking tablets verses patients using transdermal patch undergoing orthodontic treatment Aim: To analyse the analgesic effect of transdermal patch in patients who are undergoing orthodontic treatment Materials and methods: 20 selected randomly after the placement of initial niti wire in mild crowding .1-4mm little irregularity index without extraction of teeth were selected for the study. Among that 10 were given trans- dermal patch (NUPATCH-DICLOFENAC SODIUM) and other 10 were not given trans-dermal patch. Pain intensity was noted using pain chart which was given to the patient and collected after 2 days. Pain was noted in time interval of 1hour, 4 hour, 1 day and 2 day. All the data were collected, which was computed and Statistics was done Results : All the data were statistically analyzed using spss software and the mean were analysed. It is found that that the analgesic dermatological patch has a good action in reducing dental pain , due to its long half life period and less systemic toxicity. Conclusion : Use of transdermal patch has a significant analgesic effect. This study reveals that transdermal patch had a significant analgesic effect and can also be used in routine dental practice.

COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF TWO ANTI-CALCULUS TOOTHPASTES FOLLOWING CHLORHEXIDINE USE
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 513-520
Background: Calculus is the mineralised matrix of plaque present on the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity. The breakdown of proteins within dental plaque releases ammonia and carbon dioxide which increases salivary pH and lowers the precipitation constant. Precipitation of the calcium phosphate salts within the plaque facilitates calculus formation. In order to prevent plaque accumulation after oral prophylaxis, chlorhexidine mouthwash is routinely prescribed. However, common side effects of brown staining of the teeth and calculus formation have been seen to occur with frequent use. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of two anti-calculus tootpastes subsequent to chlorhexidine use. Materials and methods: 90 patients with calculus formation were selected for the study and broadly categorised into two groups. Following oral prophylaxis, one group of patients used the anti-tartar toothpaste XTAR-TM (ICPA, India) with the active ingredient potassium pyrophosphate while the other used Colgate Total (Colgate-Palmolive) with the active ingredient triclosan. Within this group, the patients were further divided into 3 sub-groups: the first using only the toothpaste, the second using the toothpaste and chlorhexidine mouthwash for a week and the third group that used chlorhexidine for two weeks along with the toothpaste. The calculus accumulation on the lower anteriors was recorded preoperatively and post-operatively using the Volpe-Manhold index. All the indices and the pockets were measured from baseline to the end of 2 weeks. Results:Accessing the two week statistical data we were able to find a good prognosis in use of the potassium pyrophosphate tooth paste in comparing the triclosin tooth paste. After the use of chlorhexidine there was a little positivity at the end of second week. Among that group potassium pyrophosphate had better prognosis even after the use of chlorhexidine for 1 week Conclusion:Use of Anti- calculus has a good prognosis of periodontium along with the use of the chlorhexidine mouth wash. Effect of triclosin on prevention of calculus is minimal but when used with it has a better action. General oral hygiene maintenance by the candidates is important which act as a main criteria for the plaque formation; better oral hygiene prevent the accumulation of the plaque thereby preventing calculus formation

2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 531-536
Personal hygiene among children is considered as the best tool to improve community strategies and intervention practices to tackle the many communicable and infectious diseases. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out. The participants were school children who are 10-14-year olds. A questionnaire was used to collect information about demographic characteristics, and then the children were interviewed and inspected regarding their general hygiene, including the state of their uniform or clothes, bathing, oral care, hand washing before and after eating, hand washing after use of toilet, covering one’s mouth when sneezing and coughing, appropriate disposal of solid tissue and unkempt hair or nails. The prevalence of cleanliness and neatness among school children was 76.7%. Furthermore, these improved with age. Poor oral hygiene (47.6%) and not washing hands after eating (47.1%) followed by unkempt hair (44.0%) were the main types of poor personal hygiene. Health promotion programmes and health education lectures should be implemented for children and their families. School nurses, school staff and parents also have an important role in teaching the children how to practice good personal hygiene.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 562-569
Obesity is a chronic medical condition associated with various oral health problems. The worldwide prevalence of obesity is 27.8%. Since obesity has a high prevalence worldwide, it is considered and prioritized as a major issue with regard to the economics of developed nations. Obesity is a disease with multiple aetiological factors, with genetics and specific obesity-related genes playing key roles. Due to the recent trends associated with urbanization, including increased refined food product consumption, unhealthy dietary habits, and a lack of physical activity, obesity is spreading fast. Obesity has been identified as a risk factor for various systemic diseases, including hypertension, cardio- vascular disease, metabolic diseases, osteoarthritis, respiratory difficulties, and some oral diseases, such as periodontal disease.The aim of the study is to accesses the prevalence of obesity among dental students of a private dental college.The study involve acessesing the obesity of various dental students using BMI index.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 570-578
COVID-19 is the disease supported by SARS-CoV-2 infection, which causes a severe form of pneumonia. Due to the pathophysiological characteristics of the COVID-19 the particular transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2, and the high globalization of our era, the epidemic emergency has spread rapidly all over the world. Human-to-human transmission seems to occur mainly through close contact with symptomatic people affected by COVID-19, and the main way of contagion is only through the inhalation of respiratory droplets, for example when patients talk, sneeze or cough.The dental practitioners are particularly exposed to a high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection because they cannot always respect the interpersonal distance of more than a meter and are exposed to saliva, blood, and other body fluids during surgical procedures. Moreover, many dental surgeries can generate aerosol, and the risk of airborne infection is to be considered higher. The questionnaire was shared among students pursuing dentistry which contained a set of 10 questions . The questions were about duration , practice on PPE and how aware and protected the students are during treating the patients.88% of them agreed that the gloves they wear protect them from viral pathogens and 5% did not agree and 7% of them were not sure about it .90% of them were trained on personal protective equipment whereas 10% of them were not trained before.This study observed good awareness regarding the practice of using protective equipment during dental treatment among the respondents.
A Critical Peep into Identity Crisis in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Lowland
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 579-582
In the discourses of literary analysis the theme of identity is a prominent one. As it is the phenomenon through which a human being gets access into the physical world of existence. But sometimes he/she may suffer from uncertainties and confusions into which his/her identity becomes insecure and suffers from subsequent identity crisis. The Lowland by diaspora writer Jhumpa Lahiri is such kind of novel. It was published in 2013. The plot is centered around two significant events i.e. Marxism and nostalgic sentiment of the characters. The recollections of the characters lead the readers to feel about native land. In this novel The Lowland Jhumpa Lahiri has centered her perspectives on the political aspects of postcolonial India. The novel examines lives and conflicts across India and America spanning over fifty years, leading the narrative technique of shifting between two geographical locations and the past and present. Jhumpa Lahiri’s works are a spontaneous outlet of her personal life. She was born in India; her parents were Bengali descendants, brought up on the eastern coast. This critical paper attempts to give a thorough analysis of Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Lowland. The issue of identity is conspicuous in the novel and various characters could be analyzed with respect to this. Among many characters one such major character is Gauri, an Indian woman. She became widow and married the brother of her ex-husband. When after marriage of Gauri the couple moved to USA, she started finding her unprecedented multiple (possibly present and the future) identities. Hence, the critical paper endeavors in discussing Gauri’s changes of identity and subsequent crisis throughout the narrative. The discussional article is grounded on theory of identity and its pertinent ideas. It uncovers how migration became a remarkable experience and influenced identity of Gauri.
Quest for Cultural Identity in Select Works of Toni Morrison
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 583-589
The leading example of Afro- American novel writer Toni Morrison belonged to an excellent wordsmith, a political worker, a dedicated scholar and an honest humanitarian. Toni Morrison has recently earned the highest appreciations for literary excellence and for her distinguished career as an academic. She is also an economist, a Nobel Prize laureate, and a winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Moreover, she was also awarded with an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Literature from the Universities of Oxford, Rutgers, and Geneva. Toni Morrison's professional resume is both academic and artistic accomplishments, but her enduring accomplishment is her literary legacy. Toni Morrison's writing is completely fluid and impressive. Her novels are excavations of the human psyche by uncovering the basic elements of the humanitarian soul in its cruelest and most dark scenarios. A respected voice of an acclaimed writer such as Toni Morrison can be heard from each beat of her sentences. This critical paper is an intense exploration of search for identity and entity in select novels of Toni Morrison. With this paper an endeavor has been made how the black people; especially the so-called ‘other’ who are labeled obnoxiously by the superior whites; articulate their voices in the colonized Africa. In this respect of postcolonial discourses no other writer is as copacetic as Toni Morrison in the realm of literature of Black transnational feminism.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS ‘WHAT’ AND ‘WHO’ IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 590-601
This article reveals the interrogative aspect of question forms in English and Uzbek, including the characteristics of interrogative pronouns ‘Kim’/’Nima’ in Uzbek and ‘Who’/’What’ in English. ‘What’/‘Who’ and ‘Kim’/’Nima’ in two English and Uzbek languages by definition indicate meanings of both “interrogation”, and thus it is anticipated that the semantic characteristics of these forms will not differ significantly. When studying the semantic characteristics of both ‘who/kim’ and ‘what/nima’ are listener-oriented interrogative sentences with strong communicativity possess the commonality in English and Uzbek. It is analyzed, the status of interrogative words “Who’ and ‘What’ (WH-words) for interrogative interpretations in English and Uzbek, including the derivation of constituent questions evolves from a specific interplay of syntactic representations with pragmatics. The given examples in English and Uzbek to compare the interrogative pronouns in morphological usage verify the evident distinctions. However, one perceives many differences when examining the morphologic characteristics of interrogative pronouns ‘Who’ and “What’ in both English and Uzbek languages. In a cross-linguistic overview, we discuss the characteristic elements contributing to the derivation of interrogatives in Uzbek. It also replies in the article that WH-words can form a constitutive part not only of interrogative, but also of exclamative and declarative clauses. Based on this, characteristic of interrogatives in exclamation and rhetoric usage the question usage does not solicit an answer.

Isotherms, Differential Heats Of Benzene Adsorption in zeolites LiLSX and NaLSX
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 628-639
The study of molecules adsorption of different geometric and electronic structure by zeolites of different composition and structure is of great interest to study the effect on the adsorption of chemical nature of adsorbents surface. Zeolites are porous crystals, so the micropore structure of zeolites is determined with high accuracy, their adsorption properties are physical-chemical constants, which can be calculated theoretically based on the calculation of the potential interaction energy adsorbate-adsorbate and adsorbate-adsorbent in zeolites. These data are of great interest for the development of the theory of adsorption forces and intermolecular interactions. However, the calculation of the potential energy of adsorption is difficult due to the complexity of the crystal structure and the potential field in the zeolite channels. The high benzene content degrades the environmental and technological properties of fuels. To select a highly efficient sorbent for dearomatization of fuel, studies of regularities of benzene adsorption in various zeolites are necessary. The isotherm, differential heats of benzene adsorption in zeolites LiLSX and NaLSX at 303K were measured using the adsorption calorimetry method. The adsorption isotherm is quantitatively reproduced by VOM theory equations.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 763-774
The substantiation of the content of education is one of the most important and traditional problems of didactics. Taking into account the social essence and pedagogical affiliation of the educational content, it can be defined as a pedagogical model of a social order addressed to the educational system. This model has a multilevel hierarchical structure. At the highest level - the level of general theoretical representation, the content of education is fixed in the form of generalized systemic knowledge about the composition, elements, structure and functions of social experience transmitted to students. At the level of the academic subject, an understanding of the individual parts of the content that carry specific functions in education is developed. Therefore, approaches to solving the problem of the content of education depend on the social order, the goals of education and training

2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 863-874
Aim: The aim of the investigation is to establish soft tissue cephalometric norms for orthognathic surgery in the population of Kerala and to compare the values obtained with Legan and Burstone soft tissue cephalometric analysis.
Materials and methods: Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken for a total of 100 subjects (50 males and 50 females) of age group 18- 25 years, selected according to the inclusion criteria. All lateral cephalometric films were traced digitally and Legan and Burstone analysis was done using Nemoceph NX Orthodontic Cephalometric Software (version 6). The values obtained were statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 16.0) and tabulated. The change in the values of different parameters were compared with the standard values of Legan and Burstone soft tissue analysis.
Results: The study revealed almost all the values as statistically significant hence necessitating the importance of this study. The norms are discussed under facial form and lip position.When the values derived for facial form from Kerala population was compared with original Caucasian norms all the values obtained were found to be significant except lower vertical height depth ratio with a highly significant difference for vertical height ratio and lower face- throat angle. When the lip position and form was compared with the Caucasian norms, all the values were significant except the vertical lip- chin ratio with highly significant values for the upper lip protrusion, lower lip protrusion, mentolabial sulcus, maxillary incisor exposure and inter labial gap. Thus a different set of soft tissue cephalometric norms was necessary for Kerala population which can aid the clinicians for diagnosis and treatment planning and the present study has formed a norm which could be used for future reference for patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
Conclusion: COGS (Cephalometrics for Orthognathic surgery) can be used as the cephalometric norms for orthognathic surgery across the world in order to know the variation from normal and to bring these values to normal or near normal by orthognathic surgery.
Clinical significance: This present study has helped to form a new norm for this population for orthognathic surgery using COGS (Cephalometrics for Orthognathic surgery) which could be useful in future for knowing the variation from normal and to bring these values to normal or near normal by orthognathic surgery.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 890-895
Anti-corruption education for Sunday school children is a form of non-penal policy to eradicate corruption. The purpose of this study was to analyze how the form of non-penal policies to eradicate corruption committed through formal church education, namely Sunday school by instilling anti-corruption values in Sunday school children (ASM). The research method used is normative juridical research using a conceptual approach and a statutory approach. The data collection technique used was literature study and then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that religious institutions through Sunday School Teachers (GSM) can play a role in tackling corruption through character education that contains anti-corruption values which are taught to Sunday school children every time they go to church. Anti-corruption values such as honesty, justice, discipline, responsibility, hard work, courage, independence, simplicity and care can be clearly explained to children through the method of telling stories about Bible characters, playing and singing together. By introducing and instilling anti-corruption values from the start to children, especially Sunday school children, through religious messages conveyed by GSM, children are expected to have anti-corruption characters from an early age so that they can form individuals with anti-corruption characteristics and high integrity.

Features Of Self-Oscillatory Processes In A Strongly Compensated Silicon With Nanoclusters Of Impurity Atoms
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 935-939
Investigation of the features of the transition of self-oscillations of current from one type to another in highly compensated silicon doped with impurity atoms of manganese, zinc and sulfur is of great interest from the point of view of studying both the mechanisms of self-sustained oscillations of the current and the physics of nonequilibrium processes. Based on the results obtained and the analysis performed, it has been established that the observed self-oscillations of the current in strongly compensated silicon are associated with nanoclusters of primus atoms. A model of a strongly compensated semiconductor is proposed to explain the mechanism of self-oscillations of the current in strongly compensated silicon, taking into account the multi-charge character of nano-clusters of atoms.
It was found that the proposed model is in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results.

Photovoltaic Effect In Silicon With Schottky Micro-Barriers Created On The Basis Of Nickel Impurity Atoms And Spectral Characteristics
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 982-992
The paper shows the possibility of self-organization of microparticles of impurity nickel atoms in silicon under certain thermodynamic conditions. It was found that the concentration of microparticles in the volume is distributed almost uniformly. It was found that upon additional annealing, self-ordering of microparticles of impurity atoms in the silicon bulk and the formation of Schottky micro-barriers occur. The study of the I – V characteristics of these samples showed that at the points where the microscopy of nickel atoms formed, it has a diode character. The obtained experimental data show the possibility of creating photocells (PV) based on compensated silicon by the impurity of nickel atoms. To study the fundamental electrophysical parameters of photocells, modern methods and instruments were used, such as an MIC-5 infrared analysis microscope, Oxford Instruments ZEISS EVOMA 10 REM analysis, XIA-200 atomic force microscope, and X'PertPowder diffractometer. Micro- and nanoclusters found in silicon are explained by the accumulation of concentration of nickel atom clusters. It has been established that the overgrown clusters of impurity nickel atoms lead to an improvement in the electrophysical parameters of photocells.

ROLE OF BIOETHICS AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN PROVISION OF FAIR AND QUALITY MEDICINE
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1047-1057
Since the advent of public health (MPH) in the 17th century, its success has depended on close engagement with society. In the field of health, bioethics professionally bridges the gap between institutional and public policy, creating a link between achievements, responsibilities, and what needs to be done when the area of responsibility prevails as the guiding principle of ethics. In this context, since public health and bioethics incorporate social and subjective determinants in their analysis, it is recommended that public health action be undertaken using an expanded and integrated view of the relationship between human and health. The essence of public health ethics concerns the moral rationale for policies, programs, and laws that protect and promote public health. Since public health includes broad social programs and public policies, issues related to justifying paternalistic interventions, equitable distribution of resources, and responsibility for health. Certain patient care measures (such as vaccinations) also contribute to public health, and difficult ethical questions can and do arise among practitioners.

Securing Medical Data using Extended Role Based Access Control Model and Twofish Algorithms on Cloud Platform
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1075-1089
A great deal of data is generated and collected by devices connected to healthcare systems on the Internet of Things (IoT). This data is distributed in real time, is unstructured in nature, and it is also a big problem to store and process in IoT applications. Since cloud computing is so common, many healthcare providers store these EHRs in cloud systems. Unauthorized access to these medical records is nevertheless still an issue. In order to avoid unauthorised access to this medical data in the public cloud networks, many access management models, along with cryptographic techniques have been used. This article proposes Enhanced Role Based Access Control (ERBAC) and Twofish algorithm to protect IoT health data in health systems from a public cloud storage perspective. The authors believe that the proposed system will significantly aid in the efficient storage of medical data in IoT applications and will provide secure storage of medical data in the cloud based on these role-based access policies. Additionally, a clustering strategy is introduced into the paper to reduce the waiting time for retrieving relevant medical data. The clustering of clinical data is the rational underlying approach for discovering secret examples from a wide variety of clinical data. Clinicians have rendered a professional decision on the disease probability using these cases. Clustering categories, the data set of separate collections based on comparability of information in the database is larger than other collections.Thus, this work proposes a clustering method that uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) with a genetic algorithm (GA) and proposes another clustering strategy called clustering calculation, based on the calculation of the advance of a swarm of molecules. It uses worldwide improvements in PSO calculation to fill the lack of the grouping strategy.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1141-1153
Introduction: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a condition characterized by raised vaginal pH and milky discharge. This condition is associated with an alteration of the normal vaginal flora by a mixed flora of aerobic, anaerobic and microaerophilic species. This condition is simple to treat, however It can lead on to complications like miscarriage, pre term delivery, low birth weight baby, premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis, postpartum endometritis, vaginal cuff cellulitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Objective :To find the prevalence of anaerobic organisms in women suffering from bacterial vaginosis. Methodology: Hospital based Prospective cross-sectional study has been conducted in the Department of Microbiology. Patients with Bacterial Vaginosis, Visited in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, department of Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital. Total number of cases included in the study was 613. A high vaginal swabs (HVS) was collected. Amsel’s criteria, Nugent score and culture were performed.
Results: The examination of 613 High Vaginal Swab of pregnant and nonpregnant reproductive age group women with symptomatic and asymptomatic vaginal discharge. The prevalence of an anaerobes in BV ware Gardnerella vaginalis 172(28.1%) based on Amsel’s criteria, Nugent score and culture. Mobiluncus Spp.384 (56.8%) based on Amsel’s criteria and Nugent score. The highest number of an anaerobes in BV cases was seen among 25-39 Years age group 216 (35.2%) and least number of an anaerobes in BV cases were seen in patients with age groups 40-59 Years 163 (26.6%) and 15-24 Years 156(25.4%). Conclusion: This finding suggests that the colonization of facultative anaerobes is also more important in vaginal ecology. So, similar studies must be carried out to improve the health status of women and preventing the risk posed towards BV. It is concluded that anaerobic bacteria are important pathogens in the causation of Bacterial Vaginosis along with other organisms.

In this paper, we present an outline of some factors impact while buying mutual fund. We deliberate level of satisfaction with respect in investors referred here as mutual fund. In precise, our motivation is to responsiveness of investing mutual fund. An efficient financial sector mobilizes savings and allocates it to those investments which yield the highest rate of return. Savings are the difference between income and consumption of mutual fund industry. An increase in the volume of real domestic savings means that resources that would have been used for consumption are released for investment. India has high level of saving rate because of high level of saving motives. Everyone seems to understand the basic principle of investment. Investment means the purchase by an individual of a financial or real asset that produces a return proportion to the risk assumed over some future investment period, for achieving this investor has to decide on how and where to deploy his/her saving. Saving motive is a desire to reserve certain mixture of income for future. The main objective of investor is to invest in different speculation avenues that deliver expected returns and help to chance the risk in future. There should be some motives for making investments. Employees give more importance to create more stand-in to meet the risk in future.We have categorised investors opinion regarding major deficiencies in the working of the mutual fund industry. We have given the opinion from the investors that can help in the deficiencies mutual fund. This means that retail investors will opt for mutual funds. Mutual funds saw record resource mobilization as investors lined up to take advantage of the stock market boom. The study was descriptive in nature. A structured questionnaire was distributed to all respondent. It was divided into two parts. The first one is demographic information; the second part was framed to know the infrastructure, Customer satisfaction and performance in mutual fund.

The Barriers of Policy Implementation of Handling Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1222-1241
The study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of policies for handling Covid-19 and its obstacles. The review uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques based on literature studies sourced from journals, online media and print media, reports from agencies, survey results, and expert input in focus group discussions. The study found that policy implementation was less than optimal due to the slow response of the Government at the beginning of the pandemic, causing the policy to handle Covid-19 to be late, inconsistencies in policies to restrict activities across countries, and procedures made it difficult for local governments to propose the implementation of large-scale social restrictions in their areas. Barriers to policy implementation include bureaucratic, structural constraints, the sub-optimal organizational performance of the Covid-19 Task Force in the regions; weak coordination between central and regional governments; unsynchronized regulations between ministries. Second, barriers to public communication, namely misalignment of statements between public officials, invalid socialization, and weak efforts to overcome misinformation and fake news from Covid-19. Resource constraints, limited health personnel, personal protective equipment, medical masks, expensive Covid-19 test costs, and unequal laboratory availability. Furthermore, not all local governments are obedient to implementing the Covid-19 handling policy and the low level of citizen compliance in the disposition aspect. Finally, government officials have not adopted a crisis leadership style for swift and decisive decision-making and action. The recommendations proposed are increasing the role of the Ministry of the interior in improving central and regional coordination, synchronizing regulations between ministries, as well as revising rules regarding the formation of a Covid-19 Handling Task Force, preparing officers and completeness of personal protective equipment as well as the availability of medical masks, and ensuring affordability of test prices Covid-19 for residents. Law enforcement regarding the spread of fake news and citizen non-compliance by establishing local regulations that impose sanctions.

alterations in the periodontal health of an individual.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 enrolled subjects who
underwent periodontal examination and treatment. A questionnaire was given to them,
which was related to self-reported medical history, medication, physical activity and dietary
habits and usual intake. Periodontist assessed the periodontal status of the participants and
a clinical dietician analysed their dietary habits. Subjects were the periodontally examined
and diagnosed according to the stage and grade of the periodontal disease. The collected
data recorded through questionnaire and periodontal examination was analysed
statistically.
Results: 81.8% participants did not have any apparent illnesses. 14.5 % of the participants
were taking medications for their diseases. Maximum study participants took sweet snacks
daily (60.9%) as well as caffeinated beverages daily (86.3%). They also took fried foods
(35.4%) as well as chips and junk food (34.5%) twice a week. The average Body Mass
Index of the study participants was 35.8kg/m2. 80% of the subjects had been diagnosed
with chronic periodontitis. 22.7% of participants had stage 1 periodontitis whereas 27.2%
of the subjects had stage 3 periodontitis.
Conclusion: It is imperative to reduce the consumption as well frequency of sticky and
refined sugars in the diet, so as to limit the damage to the oral tissue especially the

The Histological effects of Methotrexate on the lungs of albino rats: An experimental study
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1289-1296
Introduction: Despite its potentially pulmonary complications, Methotrexate (MTX) is widely utilized in the treatment of arthritis. Several studies reported development of various forms of lung disease in patients treated with MTX. The aim of this study is to investigate the adverse effects of MTX on the lung structure and the likelihood of recovery following MTX withdrawal. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 albino rats were studied in 3 different groups of ten rats. Group I was considered as control whereas group II (MTX treated group), received 5 mg/ kg subcutaneous MTX (SC) for 5 days. Lastly, group III (withdrawal group) received similar doses of MTX for the same duration but sacrificed 5 days after MTX withdrawal for lung dissection and histological examination. Results: The lungs of MTX treated rats demonstrated a significant increase in the inter-alveolar thickness with concomitant mononuclear cell infiltration linked with alveolar collapse and damage. After MTX withdrawal, the changes in pulmonary structure exhibited partial recovery. This in turns suggests that MTX-induced lung toxicity was to some extent reversible. Conclusion: MTX could result in pulmonary inflammation and alveoli damages, therefore, this study recommends regular examinations for MTX patients designed for early detection of interstitial pneumonitis.

Human papillomavirus is a condition which caused due to human papillomavirus (HPV) from papillomaviridae DNA virus family. HPV vaccines helps to eradicate most types of HPV condition.Vaccines gives minimal benefit to women who are infected already with HPV types 16 and 18 .Due to this, the vaccine is recommended initially for women who have not been vulnerable with HPV during sexual intercourse. WHO stated that HPV vaccination clearly outlines rightful, cost-effective techniques on using HPV vaccine in public health programs. There are various factors that influence the acceptance of HPV vaccination. There is a need for empirically validated, theoretically driven behavior changes interventions to increase HPV vaccination among young adult women. Various interventions done suggest that education and message framing may increase the acceptability and intention to receive the vaccination. Thus, there is a need for dynamic interventions that are specifically focused on psychosocial and behavioral constructs that produce behavior change. This study would give insights about the various modifiable and non-modifiable factors of HPV vaccination among people around the globe.

Pathomorphology Of Coronary Arteries In Various Dysfunctional Cases Of Calcitonimon
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1322-1332
The problem of studying the metabolism of calcium and glucose remains relevant and not fully investigated. Calcium ion plays an important role in many vital processes of the body, including the conjugation of the processes of excitation and secretion. Indisputable evidence has been obtained confirming the importance of calcium ions in the secretion of hormones that regulate carbohydrate metabolism (insulin and glucagon). There are few data indicating the effect of pancreatic hormones on tissue and cellular calcium metabolism. Thus, the effect of glucagon and insulin on calcium metabolism is similar to that of calcitonin (Hollo et.al., 1979). Insulin, like calcitonin, increases the transport of calcium into cells [Etsuko et. al, 2009]. In this regard, it can be assumed that the functional state of the islet apparatus of the pancreas can be significantly influenced by hormones that regulate calcium metabolism in the body.

VITAMIN C IN TERMS OF COVID-19, CURRENT TRENDS
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1341-1351
The role of vitamin C in the prevention and treatment of pneumonia andsepsis has been investigated for past decades. This reviewaimsto translatethese findings into patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19). It has indicatedthat patients with pneumonia and sepsis have low vitamin C status and elevated oxidative stress.Additional oral or intravenous (IV) vitamin C administered patients with pneumonia can mitigate the severity and course ofthe disease. Severely ill patients with sepsis need for intravenous administration of amounts counted in grams ofthe vitamin to achieve adequate plasma levels, an intervention that some studies suggest reduces mortality.The vitamin has physiological functions like pleiotropic, many of which are closely connected to COVID-19.These are its antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antithrombotic and immunomodulatory functions.Previous observational studies found out low vitamin C status in critically ill patients with COVID-19.A number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conductedworldwideevaluate intravenous vitamin C as monotherapy in patients with COVID-19. Optimization of the intervention protocolsin future trials, e.g., earlier and continuously administration, is justified to potentially improve itsefficacy. In order to the excellent safety profile, low cost, and potential for rapid enlargement of production,administration of vitamin C to patients, especially with hypovitaminosis C and severe respiratory infections,e.g., COVID-19, appears warranted. In addition, there are few new ways of concurrent using vitamin C and other manipulations or medications.

the VO2 max value in basketball & non-basketball players (p> 0.05), monocytes (p> 0.05), & neutrophils (p> 0.05) and there were significant differences in levels. cortisol (p <0.01) after 12 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise in basketball and non-basketball students. The conclusion of this study is that 12 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise resulted in a higher increase in cortisol levels in basketball players compared to non-basketball players and the average value of leukocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils in basketball players was lower than non-basketball players. This is because the release of cortisol is a form of adaptation to the body's stress due to training, and becomes anti-inflammatory as a result reduces the number of leukocytes, monocytes and neutrophils of basketball players. 12 minutes of aerobic exercise can be used as a method to increase the body's immune system and explain the homeostasis process in adolescents in a good way.

This study aims to explain the VO2 max value in adolescents and the differences in lymphocytes and eosinophil
levels after moderate aerobic exercise. The study was conducted with a post-test only control group design on 15
basketball player students and 15 non-basketball player students at SMAN 1 Banjarbaru. The sampling
technique was carried out by using purposive sampling method. Measurement of VO2 max value was executed
on the first day with MFT (Multistage Fitness Tes / Bleep Test) and measurement of lymphocytes and eosinophil
levels was executed on the third day by trained medical personnel after the subject did the moderate aerobic
exercise. Data analysis used was the Mann-Whitney test for VO2 max value and Saphiro-Wilk test for
lymphocytes and the Mann-Whitney test for eosinophil levels. The results of the data analysis is the VO2 max
value between groups were significantly different (p = 0.000) and there were no difference in lymphocytes (p >
0.05) and eosinophil (p > 0.05) count between groups after the moderate aerobic exercise. We conclude that
basketball players student have a better VO2 max value than non-basketball players and moderate aerobic
exercise were unable to make any significant difference between the groups in the number of lymphocytes and
eosinophils
Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer by Detection of Genetic Variation for BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes in the Women's of Nineveh Province
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1525-1532
Women's Breast Cancer ranks first among other type in Iraq and the world. It often detects because of
examinations performed in patients on familial cancer history. Approximately, 10% of hereditary breast cancer
represents of all breast cancer cases and BRCA1/2 represented the responsible genes. Mutations in the BRCA1/2
germ increases the risk of hereditary breast cancer twenty times more. Therefore, the detection of BRCA1/2
genes mutations is important for the diagnosis, treatment and application of clinical methods of patients. New
generation sequencing is more useful than classical methods. With this method, a patient-specific clinical
treatment can be customized, treatment, and early diagnosis, facilitates new discoveries, identification of existing
mutations, primarily breast and ovarian cancer.
In this study, the female patients had selected between the ages of 18-49 living in Nineveh-Iraq and having
demographic identical qualities, the samples taken within the consent of the participants were examined and
some significant mutations had been detected. Bioinformatics studies of variants evaluatedas pathogenic were
performed. In addition, variants of unknown clinical significance were identified and listed.Based on the results
obtained in the study, it is concluded that tests should be applied directly in the laboratory environment to
develop an understanding based on the Next Generation Sequencing approach for the detection of BRCA1 and
BRCA2 mutations and to evaluate the functional role of the mutations. In addition, our study draws a conclusion
for the early diagnosis of the New Generation Sequencing technique and the development of a personalized,
patient-specific treatment approach.

Molecular Characterization of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Bacteria Isolated from a River Surface Water
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1570-1580
The existence and prevalence of multi-drug resistant extended-spectrum βlactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria in the river water is a major cause of numerous diseases worldwide. In this study, the molecular characterization of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria producing ESBL encoding genes was investigated for a better understanding of the risk factors and public health issues. The potential ESBL-producing bacterial species were detected using 16S ribose ribonucleic acid (rRNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This served as a screening step to detect potential ESBLs encoding genes which were confirmed by phenotypes (DDST and E-test) and genotypes (PCR) assays with the presence of the bla genes; TEM, CTX-M, OXA-1 and SHV. Furthermore, all the confirmed bacterial isolates producing ESBL encoding genes were analysed for antibiotic susceptibility patterns against 10 different classes of antibiotics as a choice of therapy using antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) by the disc diffusion method. The highest bacterial isolates were confirmed as Enterobacteriaceae (89.5%), predominantly Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Among the 20 bacterial isolates, 12 (60 %) bacteria possessed one or more ESBLs encoding genes. Relatively high occurrence rates of β-lactamase genes; bla TEM 35%, bla SHV 20%, bla OXA-15% and bla CTX-M 10% were recorded. All the ESBLs encoding isolates showed high resistance to penicillin’s, third-generation cephalosporins, monobactams, cephamycins and carbapenems. High occurrences of ESBLs producing bacteria in the environment pose a threat to exposed communities. Therefore, early detection of MDR beta-lactamase mediated resistance genes are essential to avoid numerous diseases due to the dissemination of ESBLs producing strains.

Background: In the last few decades, industrialization, urbanization, economic development and market globalization have had a significant impact on changes in lifestyle and diet. Thus, food choices and nutritional intake greatly affect oral health and body weight. This has a significant impact on health and nutrition, particularly through higher carbohydrate intake and lower physical activity, particularly among younger members of the population. High sugar intake, such as sugar-containing snacks and soft drinks, was reported it is more common in children/adolescents who are overweight and obesity than those of normal weight. Frequent sugar intake is also a risk factor for dental caries. Given this, there is strong evidence that supports the relationship between dental caries and dietary intake has been associated with the development of obesity at a young age. Thus, it is possible to conclude that there is a biological relationship between dental caries and body weight. Objective: To see the relationship between body mass index and dental caries in children. Methods: Scientific evidence and clinical cases were drawn from the literature to support this review and information on the relationship between body mass index and dental caries in children. Result/Discussion: There is some scientific evidence showing a specific relationship between body mass index and dental caries in children. Conclusion:Body mass index has a significantrelationshipwiththeincidenceof dental caries in children. However, thisconditiondoes not account for which category the incidence of dental cariesis greatest. This is associated with multifactorial interactions that mutually influence the occurrence of dental caries in children.

Performance in Denser Networks Using IoT Adaptive Configurations
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1664-1686
Large-scale Internet of Things deployments demand long-range wireless communications, especially in urban and metropolitan areas. LoRa is one of the most promising technologies in this context due to its simplicity and flexibility. Indeed, deploying LoRa networks in dense Internet of Things scenarios must achieve two main goals i.e., efficient communications among many devices and resilience against dynamic channel conditions due to demanding environmental settings like the presence of many buildings. The project work investigates adaptive mechanisms to configure the communication parameters of LoRa networks in dense IoT scenarios and developed an open-source framework for end-to-end LoRa simulations. We then implement and evaluate LoRa to dynamically manage link parameters for scalable and efficient network operations. Our proposed solution significantly increases both the reliability and the energy efficiency of communications over a channel, almost irrespective of the network size. To show that the delivery ratio of very dense networks can be further improved by using a network-aware approach, wherein the link parameters are configured based on the global knowledge of the network.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1687-1706
Crop farming in India is labored intensive and obsolete. Farming is still dependent on techniques which were evolved hundreds of years ago and does not take care of conservation of resources. The newer scenario of decreasing water tables, drying up of rivers and tanks, unpredictable environment presents an urgent need of proper utilization of water. We have the technology to bridge the gap between water usage and water wastage. Technology used in some developed countries is too expensive and complicated for a common farmer to understand. Our project is to give cheap, reliable, cost efficient and easy to use technology which would help in conservation of resources such as water and in atomizing farms. We proposed use of Position sensor, Light intensity sensor, temperature sensor, Remote lights, and switches at suitable locations for monitoring of crops. The sensing system is based on a feedback control mechanism with a centralized control. The sensor data would be collected in a central processing unit which would take further action. Thus, by providing right amount of water we would increase the efficiency of the farm. The farmer can also look at the sensory data and decide course of action himself. We have made the interface of our project keeping in view the educational and financial background of average Indian farmer. In this project we proposed a low cost and efficient wireless sensor network technique to acquire the Position and light from various locations of farm and as per the need of crop controller take the decision to make irrigation ON or OFF.
Intelligent and Efficient Video Embedded Memory Software
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1707-1725
Volatile memories like double data rate random access memory or non-volatile memories like embedded flash memory are key components in most of the embedded systems, especially in today’s mobile video processing systems. There is a requirement to use the on-chip and offchip embedded memories very efficiently to meet the end user requirements. Increasingly dominating power consumption and shortening battery life of mobile devices is a key factor which is to be considered while designing and developing the embedded systems and embedded software solutions. Traditional hardware-level power optimization techniques usually come with significant implementation overhead to solve the memory failure problems during lowvoltage operations. This paper presents advanced mobile video memory optimization techniques which indirectly reduces power consumption and increases the overall system performance. The viewing contexts significantly influence the quality of the viewer experience, and in the context with higher quality, mobile users have higher tolerance to the video degradation. Accordingly, the memory failures can be introduced adaptively to achieve power savings without influencing the viewer experience. To meet the silicon area constraint in mobile devices, a simple but an efficient hardware implementation scheme can be developed based on these optimization techniques to minimize area overhead. Input mp4 video will be processed by various techniques like bicubic, bilinear, nearest neighbor and H264 compression to generate output mp4 videos with various memory sizes. The simulation results will also be provided.

Using SQ3R and SOAR to Aid Young Adults to Come Out of Boredom during Covid'19
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1750-1755
Everyone is quarantined at home. Men and Women at least go out for work, but the young adults with the educational institutions shut indefinitely stay at home the whole day. Navigating them through this safely is a greater challenge. Young adults from age 12 to 18 are really hard to handle; in a sense, no one can offer to take decisions for them. Adolescence is the stage where they struggle to strike a balance between taking their own decision and following the elders' advice. But during this dynamic situation where they have to be safely guided and at the same time, be engaged, reading comes as a rescue. Parents cannot work all the time in keeping these adults engaged, and it is better to devise a plan that can help them make them work. Adults tend to get bored easily, and it is really hard to get their attention through some work. Here is where the already existing SQ3R and SOAR methods can be combined to help them overcome their boredom during this lockdown. This paper aims to combine these two techniques effectively but in a lighter manner and encourage them to use their time for their personal growth.
Molecular Targeting Of Breast Cancer Stem Cells: A Promising Strategy For Management And Eradication.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1756-1768
In spite of developments in breast tumors management therapeutic approaches, relapsing, metastasis and resisitant are highly observed among the patients, consequently, reduced overall survival. previously, considerable attention has been placed on the intrinsic subtyping depended in the existence or absence of traditional immunohistochemistry (IHC) markers for example estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-related protein (HER2). However, it is extensively understood that cancers are consisted of heterogeneous populations of cells with a hierarchical organization established by cancer stem cells (CSCs). In breast cancers, this CSCs displaying stem cell characteristics is identified as breast CSCs (BCSCs). This small population display a CD44+/CD24−/low phenotype with high ALDH activity (ALDH+ ), and owns advanced tolerability to chemotherapy, other cancer therapeutic approaches and has the capability of tumor bulk reproduction after reduction of cell populations sensitive to first-line therapy which leads to cancer recurrence. In this review, we present special consideration to BCSCs with future guidelines in the creation of a targeted therapy for this population.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1777-1788
At present the state is producing about 10 lakh cubic meters of black and colored granites. According to the Central Government, Chittoor and Prakasam Districts are Industrially Backward Districts in Andhra Pradesh. Granite industry plays a pivotal role in the economic development of these Districts. A sound capital structure leads to increase the value of the firm, proper utilization of available funds, minimization of cost of capital, maximization of returns, etc. Majority of granite enterprises are suffering with heavy losses as per my first hand observation in Chittoor and Prakasam Districts of Andhra Pradesh. The enigma pertaining to the status is that whether the people are sufficiently strong enough invest required financial structure. So the present study is undertaken to know the source of finance and financial structure of micro, small and medium enterprises in granite industry in Chittoor and Prakasam Districts of Andhra Pradesh. The objectives of the present study are to know the ability of the granite entrepreneurs by attending campaign programmes to get financial assistance, to identify the purpose of loan taken, met financial requirement and subsidy availed by the granite entrepreneurs, and to study the financial structure of the granite enterprises and offer suggestions to maintain an optimal capital structure in Chittoor and Prakasam Districts of Andhra Pradesh during the study period. The granite enterprises were not maintaining an optimum capital structure and Small and medium enterprises did not maintain the standard debt-equity ratio (1 to 1.5) in the study area. It is suggested that small and medium enterprises should try to increase the debt to maintain the standard debt-equity ratio (1 to 1.5) and optimum capital structure, if there is a possibility to utilize this debt, and then they will get tax-benefit. Otherwise an additional debt will be cause for financial risk.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1789-1794
Long-term consciousness impairment and mental and physical disabilities are seen in almost all patients after brain traumas of varying severities. Given the neuroprotective and stimulating properties of caffeine, the present study intended to investigate the effect of caffeine on the consciousness level and recovery rate of children and adolescent patients with moderate brain traumas (8<GCS<13). A total of 100 children and adolescent (6-17years old) patients with moderate brain trauma due to diffuse axonal injury were randomly assigned to two groups of 50. One week after trauma, in the caffeine group patients who were physiologically stable received caffeine tablets as 2.5 mg/kg/day and placebo in the second group through gavages for one month. The consciousness level and the recovery rate were assessed with GCS after one month and GOSE after six months, respectively. The two groups were similar in terms of demographic characteristics and GCS score at baseline (9.2 vs. 9.6) (p=0.581), but the mean GCS score was significantly better in the caffeine group (11.2) than the control group (9.84) after one month (p=0.024). Besides, the mean GOSE score was significantly better in the caffeine group (6.24) than the control group (4.74) after six months (p=0.036). It seems that the administration of caffeine after the acute phase of moderate brain trauma in children and adolescent patients can improve the consciousness and performance of these patients.

Background and Objectives:
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders that sometimes begins in childhood and adolescence. Epidemiological studies have reported the prevalence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in a high clinical population; hence, the use of new methods can be very useful. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of neurofeedback on working-memory in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Method:
A total of 20 obsessive-compulsive patients were selected by convenient sampling and were randomly placed in two groups of 10 (experimental and control). In this study, the N-back test was used to collect information from the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS). In the beginning, the pretest was done and then the experimental intervention (neurofeedback) was performed on the experimental group during 15 one-hour sessions. At the end of the treatment program, a post-test was given to both groups. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANCOVA) was used for data analysis.
Results:
The results showed that neurofeedback is significantly associated with increased working memory and decreased symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder in people with obsessive-compulsive syndrome (p <0.05).
Conclusion:
Neurofeedback training increases working memory in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder; therefore, it can be used as an effective method with regard to these patients.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1869-1875
Background and Aims:
One of the complications of coronary artery bypass graft is reperfusion injury and myocardial damage. In vitro, intralipid has been able to reduce the size of the infarct area. In this study, intralipid was compared to saline for ejection fraction, lactate, and hemodynamic parameters of patients.
Materials and Methods:
This study was conducted on 60 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft with age<70 years and with an ejection fraction > 35%. The induction of anesthesia was performed in a similar manner and by a same surgeon for all patients. After intensive care unit transfer and the extubation, saline and 20% intralipid solutions were injected into the subjects in the control and intervention groups, respectively, on three hours. Before and after the injection of solutions, ejection fraction and serum lactate level were assessed by a special cardiologist. Moreover, heart rate and mean blood pressure were measured every 30 min from the onset of infusion to the end of the study. Data was analyzed with SPSS software version 16. P-value less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results:
Sixty patients were divided into two same groups. Both groups were homogeneous for demographic characteristics and euroscore. Although, there was a significant increase in ejection fraction for two groups during the study (P=0.00 in both groups). But, no significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding EF (P=0.26). Lactate serum level decreased significantly in both groups; that was more in the intralipid group (P=0.001). In addition, mean arterial pressure significantly decreased in both groups (P=0.001 and P=0.00 in control and intralipid groups, respectively), that was higher in the intralipid group, compared with the control group (P=0.001). Also, the patients’ heart rate decreased in both groups, and it was more in the intralipid group (P=0.01).
Conclusion:
In our study, intralipid infusion improved the hemodynamic status of patients and was better than saline group. Also the level of serum lactate was lower in patients of the intralipid group. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the ejection fraction level. Given the low complications of intralipid administration and improved n
Pulmonary Computed Tomography Hallmarks and the Short-term Outcome of COVID-19 Pneumonia in Patients with an Underlying Cardiovascular Disease
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1886-1897
Background:
The reference laboratory examination for the diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test; nonetheless, given its false-negative results, chest computed tomography (CT) is deemed a worthier method. We aimed to define the chest CT characteristics of patients with COVID-19 who suffered from an underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD) and determine the correlation between short-term clinical outcomes and imaging features.
Results:
Our retrospective cross-sectional study registered 36 patients with definitive COVID‐19 pneumonia suffered from an underlying CVD. For all the patients, imaging and laboratory evaluations were done within 3 to 6 days from symptom onset. Imaging and lab findings and short-term clinical outcomes were recorded and analyzed. In our population (mean age of 51.22 ± 20.59 years), 20 (55.6%) patients improved and 16 (44.4%) expired. The most frequent pulmonary parenchymal patterns were ground-glass opacity (GGO) (97.2%, 35/36), pulmonary arterial focal dilatation (72.2%, 26/36), consolidation (63.9%, 23 /36), and bronchial wall thickening (63.9%, 23/36). The mortality rate was higher in the presence of the crazy-paving pattern (72.7%, 8 /11), multilobar lung disease (53.8%, 14/26), and lobar pulmonary involvement (100%, 5/5) (all Ps < 0.05). The median of the total severity score (TSS) was higher in the non-surviving patients (P = 0.06).
Conclusions:
The most common CT features were GGO, pulmonary arterial focal dilatation, consolidation, and bronchial wall thickening. The crazy-paving pattern, multilobar involvement, lobar pneumonia, higher TSS, and also particular CT characteristics in CVD cases with anemia and lymphopenia were significant indicators of mortality.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1903-1920
Introduction:
Statins are effective therapeutic agents for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Their favorable effects on various aspects of the oral health including positive effects on bone metabolism and their pleiotropic effects such as anti-inflammatory properties made this group of drugs as a current area of interest in the field of orthodontic relapse. Our review systematically investigates and evaluates the quality of the available evidence regarding the effects of Statins on relapse after orthodontic treatment.
Materials and Methods:
A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, ISI web of science, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases for studies measuring the effects of Statins on the amount of relapse after orthodontic treatment up until February 2020 was performed. To assess risk of bias and study quality while in our review SYRCLE and COMARADES tools were used. The protocol of this review was registered via (crd.york.ac.uk/Prospero) with the ID CRD42020170389.
Results:
Seven animal trials were finally included in this review. According to the Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory animal Experimentation (SYRCLE) Tool, all of the included studies had at least one domain in high risk of bias. Four studies reported decrease in the orthodontic relapse after statins administration, but 3 studies showed no statistically significant changes.
Conclusions:
Based upon the animal studies and methodological inconsistencies among the included studies, conclusive confirmation regarding the effect of Statins on relapse after orthodontic treatment remains debatable.

Objectives
This study aimed to assess the effect of using chlorhexidine (CHX)-releasing elastomeric ligatures on the number of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) in the saliva and dental plaque and on elastomeric ligatures in orthodontic patients.
Materials and Methods:
This double-blind clinical trial evaluated 30 orthodontic patients between 14 to 25 years, who were randomly divided into two groups. CHX-releasing elastomeric ligatures were used in the test group while the conventional elastomeric ligatures were used for the control group. Saliva samples were collected at baseline, and 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after the intervention. Plaque samples were also collected at baseline and after 28 days. Elastomeric ligatures were collected in both groups after 28 days. The collected samples were cultured to count the number of S. mutans. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests.
Results:
The salivary count of S. mutans was significantly lower in the test group at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days (P<0.05). The S. mutans count on the surface of CHX-releasing ligatures was significantly lower than that on the surface of conventional ligatures (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was noted in S. mutans count in plaque samples between the two groups (P>0.05). The salivary level of S. mutans significantly decreased during the course of study in the test group.
Conclusion:
CHX-releasing elastomeric ligatures can significantly decrease the salivary count of S. mutans in orthodontic patients.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1930-1937
Background and Objectives
Early detection and elimination of dental calculus are imperative for prevention and management of periodontal disease. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of reverse contrast and sharpen image processing filters of indirect digital radiography for calculus detection.
Materials and Methods:
In this in vitro, experimental study, 95 extracted human premolars were mounted in a sheep mandible, and underwent digital radiography. Pieces of calculus measuring 0.5 mm in diameter were then adhered to the cementoenamel junction of the teeth and they underwent digital radiography again. Next, the radiographs were enhanced once with the sharpen, and once with the reverse contrast image processing filter. All radiographs were then observed by two observers. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values were calculated.
Results:
The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of original radiographs, those enhanced with sharpen, and those enhanced with reverse contrast were 31%, 96%, 88% and 58%, 41%, 96%, 91%, and 62%, and 33%, 99%, 97% and 59%, respectively. The sharpen filter resulted in higher sensitivity than original images and those enhanced with reverse contrast. Reverse contrast resulted in higher specificity than the other two image types. However, none of these differences were statistically significant (P>0.05).
Conclusion:
Reverse contrast and sharpen image processing filters could not significantly enhance the detection of calculus on digital radiographs.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1971-1977
Electro chemistry is the process in which the electrons are “added” and “removed” from the molecule or the ion which is there in the electro chemical cell to produce “organic” and “inorganic” compound, to convert and store the energy, for the galvanic deposition of metal and alloy. Electron addition (reduction) takes place at the cathode, while electron removal (oxidation) occurs at the anode. Electro chemistry is very useful in protecting the corrosion, in sensor devices, and in other different technologies that involve the transfer of charge at an electrified interface. The electro chemical surface technologies are becoming the main issue because majority of commercial product goes through some kind of “surface treatment” so that its look, functionality, and properties can be improved.

STUDY OF SELF-ESTEEM AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN RELATION TO HOME ENVIRONMENT AMONG ADOLESCENTS.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1978-1987
Self-esteem plays an important role in disorders related to human’s psychology. Self-esteem is a basic need of human as it is pre-requisite for motivation. It boosts up the morale of human being as it builds up positive self-image and positive attitude.A good education system provides student basic knowledge and learning skills to all the students regardless of their age, sex, class, caste, religion or region. It helps us to know the student’s performance and the challenges which he is facing during his educational course. It focuses on academic and co-curricular activities in an educational environment. Further, home environment has a huge influence on the development of adolescent. If a sense of security is infused, it will lead to his overall wellbeing. It is a system in which the behaviour and relationships of all the family members are dependent upon each other. A home environment which stimulates the adolescent from time to time helps him to be a better person. The sample of a present study consisted of 200 adolescents. Random sampling technique was adopted while collecting the sample. Home environment is independent variable and self-esteem and academic achievement are dependent variable. The Pearson product‐moment correlation coefficient was used to analyse the data. Findings revealed that if the home environment of the adolescent is favourable than his self-esteem is better and he will be confident enough to solve the problems and to face the hardships and challenges of life in an easy go.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1988-1994
Background: Tobacco smoking is widely prevalent in developing countries and it has extensive effects on respiratory function and is a risk factor for a number of respiratory diseases. Early detection of lung function decline in smokers will be beneficial for promoting smoking cessation and reducing lung tissue damage.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the rural and urban areas of Ghaziabad. We assessed the lung function in 150 healthy male smokers and 150 healthy non-smokers through spirometry.
Results: The prevalence of smoking was higher in middle age group (38-49 years age group) as compared to older and younger ones. The spirometry parameters were significantly greater in non-smokers than smokers (p<0.001). Both smokers and non-smokers showed negative correlation between spirometry parameters and age (p<0.001). It was also observed that all spirometry parameters increased with increase in height in both the groups.
Conclusion: Smoking leads to accelerated decline in lung function.
FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF CEFIXIME MUCOADHESIVE TABLETS USING NATURAL POLYMERS
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 1995-2008
Cefixime having lower bioavailability due to narrow therapeutic absorption window in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Further, the conventional dosage form has poor patient compliance due to frequent dosage regimen. Therefore, we planned to prepare mucoadhesive tablets of Cefixime by using varying ratio of the natural gum obtained from Okra and Hibiscus rosasinensis. The six different formulations F1 to F6 were prepared by direct compression method, and were subjected to thickness, friability, hardness, weight variation, drug content, surface pH, mucoadhesive strength, mucoadhesion force, swelling index and in- vitro dissolution studies. The mucoadhesive tablets formulated with a higher concentration of gum Okra and Hibiscus rosasinensis showed good mucoadhesion strength. The in- vitro drug release studies indicated a sustained release pattern of the Cefixime for 12 h of study and the drug release was directly proportional to gum concentration. Hence the findings suggest sustained release pattern of the Cefixime for 12 h of study, and improved systemic delivery of drugs by enhancing the absorption due to higher permeable with a rich blood supply to mucus layer.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2009-2018
Post-traumatic spine immobilization plays an important role in the prevention of spinal cord injury. The splints are used today by the emergency department to immobilize the spine include a backboard and a immobilizer vest. A backboard bed usually is used for those injured in the open environment and a immobilizer vest, commonly is used for those injured in enclosed spaces such as a car. This study aims to design and manufacture a new spine immobilizer vest (NSIV) with features such as being lightweight and low volume, disposable and hygienic, very low cost, recyclability and the ability to be fitted in all emergency centers for replacing the old immobilizer vest. The design and construction of the NSIV was done in two stages. In the first step, with the help of measures obtained from measuring different people, the design and fabrication of prototype lattice polypropylene sheets were successfully designed and manufactured, and after the test on it, the necessary corrections were done. In the second step, the dimensions of the prototype were completed and were designed computerized and accurate with the help of AutoCAD software and precise cut molding was also made that was used to produce new spinal immobilizer vest (NSIV).
Investigation of the effect of intron-1 beta-globin gene on the expression of human LH-encoding gene in CHO cells
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2019-2042
Gonadotropin hormones that LH (Luteinizing hormone) is a member of them belong to the family of glycoprotein hormones. These hormones are hetero-dimer and consist of an alpha (α) chain that is the same as the general subunit in all of them and a specific beta (β) chain. The beta (β) subunit of these hormones also plays a major role in the biological activity of these hormones and is essential. Introns are non-coding gene sequences that are present among the genes coding sequences. Given the effect of introns on increasing gene expression in mammalian cells, the use of these sequences to increase the production of recombinant proteins has attracted the attention of researchers. One of these introns is the beta-globin gene intron, which consists of 2 introns, which its intron I is used more due to its short sequence.
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are used to produce recombinant proteins more than other hosts due to their high level of expression and better post-translation changes in the protein.
This research will be conducted in three stages after the initial studies:
Stage 1: Cloning the gene structure in the bacterial host and confirming its molecular structure.
Stage 2: Cloning the cut gene under the influence of beta-globin intron inside the CHO expression vector (further confirmation is required for recombination of the transformed cells).
Step 3: Examining the expression of human LH coding gene under the influence of intron-1 using Western Blotting and SDS-PAGE techniques and the effect of intron-1 beta-globin on the production of recombinant LH, performed by ELISA. This research will be conducted to clone and increase the expression of gene encoding human LH hormone under the influence of beta-globin gene intron in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and finally to increase the production of its recombinant form.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2043-2055
The breasts are the protrusions in the upper abdominal area of the male and female primate trunks. In women, the breasts act as mammary glands to produce and store milk for babies. Certain parts of the breast can become cancerous, like other tissues and organs. Breast cancer is very common. One of the parts of the breast where tumors may form is the lobules. These tumors are also called carcinomas. There are many breast cancer treatments, including surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy, each with its own side effects and disadvantages.
This study investigates the effect of breast cancer cell migration after NGO exposure and also examines the expression and modification of T1MP1 and CYP1B1 proteins. Initially, MDA cancer cells were prepared and cultured. These cells were then treated by the NGO and examined by APOP ICC, SCRATCH, DAPPY, SRB tests.
Studies have shown that in all of these tests, cell survival was reduced due to the NGO''s effect on cancer cells. Cell survival was increased only in the SRB test by increasing graphene concentration, which can be attributed to NGO light absorption.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2071-2079
Treatment success is one of the main concerns of orthodontists. Treatment outcomes may be assessed using various indices like the PAR index. The present study was conducted to evaluate the treatment success rate and the related factors in the Department of Orthodontics of the Dentistry School of Islamic Azad University based on the PAR index from 2009 to 2014.
Method and Materials:
The present cross-sectional study was among 100 eligible patients. The pre- and post-treatment casts were assessed by evaluating the archives through contact point displacement, buccal occlusion (anterior, posterior, transverse and vertical planes), vertical anomalies (open bite and deep bite), transverse anomalies (cross bite), anterior-posterior anomalies (over jet) and midline anomalies. Their pre-treatment casts were presented, examined and recorded along with the patients’ time to the orthodontics department. The type of malocclusion, gender, and age were also rated based on the PAR index.
Results:
The present study was conducted on 200 pre-treatment and post-treatment study models obtained from 100 treated patients (32% males and 58% females). The participants had a mean age of 17.6±4.29 ranging from a minimum of 10.4 to a maximum of 33.6, among whom, 36% had extracted teeth and 54% did not. The mean duration of treatment was 2.3 years ± 0.6 months, with a minimum duration of 16 and a maximum of 48 months. 66% of the participants were suffering from CL I, 24% from CL II, and finally 10% from CL III malocclusion. The distribution of the patients’ success and failure showed an 85% complete success (more than 70%), 13% relative success (30% to 70%) and 2% failure (less than 30%).
Conclusion:
The mean difference and reduction in the weighted PAR score was calculated as 21.3; while the mean reduction was 89.98%, revealing significant progress in the orthodontic treatments. A total of 85% of the cases were completely successful (more than 70%), 13% were relatively successful (30% to 70%) and 2% were unsuccessful (less than 30%), suggesting a standard treatment with very high quality. No significant difference was observed between the treatment success rate and the variables including age, gender, duration of treatment, having or not having extracted teeth and type of malocclusion.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2099-2105
Adequate soft tissue coverage is a corner stone for successful hand reconstruction in traumatic patients allowing for hand mobilization and rehabilitation. In this case report, a modified application of reverse radial adipofascial forearm flap for the simultaneous reconstruction of the palm for traumatic defect is presented. The patient was a 42- year-old man with a history of right palmar avulsion trauma in a car accident. Initially, the patient underwent skin grafts twice, but the symptoms did not improve. Then a distally based reverse radial adipofascial forearm flap with a dimension 15*7cm was planned. The flap was transposed to the palmar defect. After the flap is inserted, the donor defect was closed primarily. After 5 days, the patient underwent a split thickness skin graft to cover the flap. After surgery, a satisfactory coverage is observed in the recipient area. Although, longer time will be needed for complete evaluation of hand function but in early post operative period hand function and pain improved with compared to pre operative time. The advantages of this proposed technique are better donor site morbidity, easy implementation, simultaneous coverage of complex defects, primary closure of donor site, avoidance of long-term immobilization and related complication such as shoulder and elbow stiffness, bad hygiene and avoidance of microsurgery and shorter surgery time.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2106-2112
Bronchiectasis is an abnormal and permanent dilation of the bronchi. Bronchiectasis may be a local, in which only the airways of a limited area of the lung parenchyma are involved. However, bronchiectasis may be diffused, in which the wider airways areas of the lung are affected. Given that no study has ever compared the effect of levofloxacin with routine therapies, this study was conducted to compare the prophylactic effect of short-term treatment with levofloxacin and azithromycin in patients hospitalized in Zahedan, Iran.
Materials and methods:
This was a clinical trial study. After entering the study, 90 patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. In one group, levofloxacin patients received 5 days a month, and in the other group, azithromycin patients received a dose of 250 mg per day throughout the study. Patients were followed for one year, during which they were evaluated for the number of hospitalizations and the number of exacerbation cases. It was also explained to the patients that due to the use of blinding techniques, the type of administrated drug and the group in which they are placed will not be informed and if they are not satisfied, they will not enter the study. Initial patient information such as age and sex were recorded for each individual. At the end of the study, the data were entered into SPSS statistical software version 19 and examined based on descriptive statistics and independent t-test. The significance level was considered 0.05.
Findings:
According to the findings, the average number of exacerbations of bronchiectasis symptoms per year in azithromycin group was 4.42±2.00 and in levofloxacin group, was 2.44±1.34 and the average number of hospitalization cases per year in azithromycin group was 0.75±1.40 and in the levofloxacin group was 0.88±0.60 (p <0.001).
Conclusion:
The results of the present study showed a significant difference between the number of exacerbations and hospitalizations per year in levofloxacin and azithromycin groups, and the levofloxacin group indicates favorable results in this case. However, it is essential to conduct further studies on the effect of azithromycin and levofloxacin on the rate of exacerbation and hospitalization in patients with bronchiectasis.
Evaluating the Macrolide Resistance of Escherichia Coli Isolated from the Urinary Infection and Determining the Phylogeny Using the ERIC-PCR Method
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2113-2122
Resistance to antibiotics among pathogen bacteria is a global concern nowadays. Considering that Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most important urinary infection and nosocomial infection pathogen, the present study aimed to evaluate the macrolide resistance of E. coli isolated from urinary infection and determine the phylogeny using the ERIC-PCR method. The sampling was performed from patients admitted to Sanandaj Hospitals during 2017. Upon culturing urine samples, the E. coli strains were identified by biochemical tests. Then, the antibiotic sensitivity of the strains was performed using the disk diffusion test. Determining the erythromycin MIC using E-test was performed for species resistant to erythromycin. The bacterial resistance genes were identified using PCR, and ultimately, the gene relationships of the strains were determined using ERIC-PCR. Ninety-nine E. coli strains were isolated from urine samples. The strain resistance to ceftriaxone, piperacillin, erythromycin, azithromycin, carbenicillin, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, and amikacin was 51.51%, 84.84%, 84.84%, 30.30%, 75.75%, 41.41%, 84.4%, and 42.42%, respectively. Amon the selected 19 strains, which were resistant to azithromycin and erythromycin, 15 mphA-positive isolates (78.9%), ten mphB-positive isolates (52.63%), and ten isolates (52.63%) simultaneously had mphA and mphB. Also, according to ERIC-PCR, it was shown that the strains are genetically related, and the same genetic source was not observed between the strains. Considering the prevalence of macrolide-resistant E. coli infections, it suggested that these strains be identified in urinary infection patients. Moreover, treating these patients with macrolide is not recommended. Moreover, the same genetic source was not observed between the strains; therefore, the antibiotic resistance gene spreads in strains with different genetic sources. Thus, there is a need to prevent the overuse of antibiotics.
Gene Therapy of Cystic Fibrosis Using Influenza Virus
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2123-2129
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease due to a mutation in a gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator chloride channel. In this proposed method, by genetically manipulating the gene structure in the influenza virus and inserting this manipulated gene into the body, we force the cell to produce a healthy version of the CFTR gene. The influenza virus belongs to the family Orthomyxoviridae and enters the body through SAA2,6Gal receptors in epithelial cells (1). If we genetically modify the related gene in the influenza virus and insert the CFTR gene, the influenza virus, which has been modified by gene therapy, can force the infected cell to express the healthy CFTR gene mRNA. Based on this method, it seems that the cause of this disease, which is the absence of CFTR proteins on the patient's cell surface, can be alleviated to some extent by inserting the healthy transcript of CFTR into the membrane phospholipids.
Identification and Role of ETEC by Real-Time PCR in a Sample Collected from Patients with IBD
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2130-2136
Inflammatory bowel disease is a common and lifelong debilitating gastrointestinal disease. Several cult-based studies and molecular methods have shown that Escherichia coli bacteria can play a role in IBD. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the relationship between IBD and bacterial leishmaniosis (ETEC) and their relationship with IBD and non-IBD.
Materials and Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, 81 paraffin blocks including 41 positive IBD samples and 40 control samples (healthy) were examined for ETEC bacteria. Samples were collected from Ghaem Hospital between 2016 and 2018. Initially, the blocks were cut to extract DNA and the DNA was extracted manually. Then, the design of the private premium probe for ETEC identification was done by the Real-Time PCR method. After confirming the primers, Taqman prob Real-time PCR was performed on IBD and control sample.
Results:
DNA extraction was performed and its quality was confirmed by NanoDrop device. Demographic results showed that the mean age of IBD and control patients was 51 and 46, respectively. The results from Real-Time PCR showed that 12 cases (30%) of IBD-positive individuals were positive for ETEC, while no positive cases were observed in control individuals (negative IBD). Statistical study shows that there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of ETEC bacteria.
Discussion:
Given the conditions of IBD and the results of this study, the presence of the toxin bacterium Escherichia coli is likely to exacerbate the conditions and symptoms of IBD by producing toxin virulence factors.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2137-2142
Objective:
Periodontitis may be a risk factor for preterm labor due to the presence of pro-inflammatory bacteria and cytokines in the bloodstream during infection, which can affect the farther organs. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between oral infections and preterm labor pain.
Methods:
This case-control study was performed on 100 pregnant women referred to the women and maternity ward of Ahvaz Imam Khomeini Hospital. Patients divided into two groups of pre-term and term patients. Demographic characteristics and midwifery data such as preterm labor risk factors were recorded by approved questioner in both groups. At follow-up and within 48 hours postpartum, patients were examined by a knowledgeable dentist for oral infections. Modified Machtei's index was used to determine the presence of periodontitis in patients and finally data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 software and Significance level was considered less than 0.05 (p<0.05).
Results:
The mean age of the patients was 28.91±4.59 years (28.94 ± 4.87 vs 28.88±4.34 in case and control group respectively (p = 0.94).) None of the patients in the two groups had any history of smoking and no previous preterm pregnancy and bleeding was reported in any of the patients. Evaluation of patients in both groups showed that 39 cases had oral infections in the case group and 31 cases had oral infections in the control group, which was not statistically significant (p = 0.08).
Conclusion:
Our findings indicate that prevalence of periodontal diseases in preterm mothers was not statistically significant more than control group. Further studies are needed to determine exact relationship between oral infections and preterm labor.
Investigation of the Iranian Scientific Products in the Field of Pharmacology based on Their Citation Value and Using In-text Citation Frequency and Potential in the Web of Science Database
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2143-2148
Introduction:
Science production is not the only valuable index to reflect a country's growth and progress, nor can the citation alone represent the validity of a work. Hence, to assess the validity of the scientific articles produced, it is necessary to use other metrics and indicators such as in-text citation frequency and text citation potential.The present study aimed at determining the validity of the Iranian articles in the field of pharmacology based on their citation value in the Web of Science database using the in-text frequency and text citation potential.
Methods:
This survey was conducted based on the scientometrics and text citation analysis approach. The research population consisted of Iranian articles in the field of pharmacology published in the 2012 in Web of Science database. The sample consisted of 382 articles cited in the field of pharmacology. They were randomly retrieved and selected among 1698 Iranian articles.The data were analyzed using Excel and Endnote software and Statistics Package for Social Sciences. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Frequency and percentage were used to assess the text citation potential. The mean was used to determine the top Iranian authors and articles based on the text citation potential and in-text frequency. To analyze the collected data, the values of each indicator were calculated and Spearman correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between the rate of the citation to articles, the text citation potential and the text citation.
Results:
The reviewed articles received 1841 citations. The mean text citation potential was 1.09%, the mean in-text frequency was 1.31% and the mean self-citation in the articles was 0.46. The findings showed that there was a direct and significant relationship between the citation frequency and the in-text frequency as well as between the text frequency and the text citation potential and self-citation, but there was no significant relationship between the citation frequency and the text citation potential. Based on the findings, most of the articles in the field of pharmacology had the lowest citation value.
Conclusions:
Due to different and unequal value of the citations, it is necessary to use qualitative evaluation methods obtained from the evaluated indicators in Iran’s research evaluation system to improve the accuracy in evaluation of the articles. Accordingly, the use of measures such as text citation frequency, text citation potential and the placement of citation is crucial for researchers' scientific evaluation.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) announced the actual and estimated number of adults aged 50 and older in the United States with osteoporosis and low bone mass (previously known as osteopenia) in 2002, (US). The estimates were based on population-based data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)–III (1988–1994), which measured bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck. According to the study, approximately 10 million Americans aged 50 and up had osteoporosis, with another 33 million having low bone mass. (a) Only the femoral neck BMD was used in these calculations since it was the only skeletal site for which nationally representative data was available.According to the study, approximately 10 million Americans aged 50 and up had osteoporosis, with another 33 million having low bone mass.The total selected members for study were non-randomlydivided into 3 groups (Group A, Group B and Group C). Quasi-experimental design method used for making an experimental design. Study was conducted on each group separately. Each study period covers 3 months’ time and 15 to 20 days for data analyses and reporting. The detailed should is provided in the table below. After observation of results, it is clearly indicating that the ionized Calcium levels, total Calcium levels and bone density is improved significant levels after consuming recommended nutritional food for three months compared to before taking nutritional food. Thus, the provided nutrient food is a good source of Calcium and improves bone strength in the post-menopausal women. Further, this is recommended that, the consumption recommended nutritional package for all the age groups to reduce the chance to get osteoporosis and bone fracture.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2166-2172
Globalization is the word used to describe the growing interdependence of the world’s economies, cultures, and populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and information.
The growing interdependence of the world’s economies, cultures and population, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and services has given a kick hike to globalization. This increase in conceptual and empirical work has now shifted the focus on how firms go about globally, keeping along the development and maintaining the advantage of globalization. The global competitiveness is concerned with overall performance of the economies all over the globe.
It may have many inferences for human resource management practices in an organization. It helps to create job opportunities as the business expands. By providing better quality products and employment it improves the standard of living of the people. Strategic human resource aims for the proper management of human resources within the organization for the impactful attainment of the goals set.
Considering global competitiveness, strategic human resource management pivots in the pursuit of objectives that would make the organization stand distinct from its competitors. A competitive advantage is not a short term process but is gained through the long term allocation of the resources of the company and matching these resources with the capabilities of the human resource within the organization. Thus, the organizations, whether expanding or already expanded, should identify their needs and make sure that they align with the organization’s objective to eye the pinnacle in the global competitiveness.
In this paper the researchers tried to focus on the impact and relevancy of Strategic Human Resource Management practices with global competitiveness.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2284-2288
Background: Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency are prevalent in almost half the
healthy population of developed countries. The role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of
Chronic liver diseases (CLDs) is not fully understood.Hence; the present study was
conducted with the aim of assessing the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among chronic
liver diseases patients and its correlation with severity of liver diseases.Materials &
methods: A total of 50 patients with presence of chronic liver diseases were included.
Complete demographic and clinical details of all the patients were obtained. A Performa
was made and spectrum of clinical profile of all the patients was recorded. Blood samples
were obtained and serum vitamin D levels were obtained using auto-analyzer. Grading of
the patients was done using Child-Pugh Score grading. All the results were recorded and
analyzed by SPSS software.Results: Vitamin D deficiency was seen in 84 percent of the
patients. Vitamin D levels among patients with Grade A, Grade B and Grade C of Child-
Pugh score grade was found to be 32.36 ng/mL, 22.12 ng/mL and 16.48 ng/mL
respectively. Significant results were obtained while correlating Vitamin D levels with
Child-Pugh grade.Conclusion: Patients with chronic liver diseases have significantly
altered Vitamin D metabolism. Hence; Vitamin D deficiency directly correlates with
severity of disease.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2289-2296
The study investigated the role played by the child support grant in alleviating poverty. The research approach used in this study was qualitative with a phenomenological research design. Purposive sampling was used to select six unemployed single women who relied only on a grant to make their living. Data was collected through individual interviews and analyzed in a form of a thematic approach. The study found that child support grants played a very important role in providing basic needs for many families. Some families were found to rely solely on the grant to make living. The study concluded that a child support grant does not completely remove poverty. The study recommends that government should do a needs analysis of each family to meet the basic needs of each family. Furthermore, the study recommends that families that only depend on the grant should be given more to meet their basic needs.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2297-2303
Aim: The aim of this study comparison of outcomes after cataract surgery in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
Methods: A prospective study was done to comparison outcome of cataract surgery in 120 diabetics as compared to 120 nondiabetics Within 15 days of Cataract surgery, all the patients underwent fasting blood glucose analysis. Recording of the complete intra-surgical and post- surgical complications along with visual acuity was done at 15 days, three month and six months’ time in all the subjects.
Results: In diabetic group 53(44.17%) were females and 67(55.83%) were males. Among the non-diabetics, 70 (58.33%) were males & 50(41.67%) were females. At 15 days time, the occurrence of Post- surgical visual acuity in diabetic group and non-diabetic group was found to be 0.19 and 0.27 respectively. At three month’s time, the occurrence of Post- surgical visual acuity in the diabetic group and the non-diabetic group was found to be 0.27 and 0.38 respectively (table 2). Glycemic control was assessed using fasting blood sugar levels at the time of admission. Of the 120 patients in the diabetic group, 45(37.5%) had high blood glucose level (FBS: >100mg/dl). Their blood sugar was controlled and they were operated. 75(62.5%) patients had normal blood sugar levels at the time of examination (70-100mg/dl). Non- significant results were obtained while comparing the mean. Post- surgical visual acuity in between the two study groups at different time intervals (p value > 0.05). Striate keratopathy Was most commonly encountered post- surgical complication in the diabetic group n=17 (14.17%) and the non-diabetic group n=11(9.17%).and followed by Posterior capsular opacity n=15(12.5%) and n=9(7.5%) and Posterior capsular rent 11.67% and 6.67% in diabetic and non-diabetic, Pigment dispersion 10.83% and 7.5% per in diabetic and non-diabetic patatients respectively
Conclusion: Small incision cataract surgery in diabetics without diabetic retinopathy yields similar visual outcomes as non-diabetics. There is a higher incidence of post-operative complications among diabetics, which can be managed conservatively.
Study is to Establish the Role of HRCT of Chest in the Early Diagnosis Of Pulmonary Disease in Symptomatic HIV
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2304-2311
World wide it is estimated that 40.3million patients are living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and 90% of these are in developing countries. About 70% of patients with HIV infection experience a pulmonary complication during life, and additional pulmonary pathology is often unexpected finding at autopsy. The clinical and radiographic presentation of lung disease associated with HIV infection is non-specific. Chest radiography has limited sensitivity for the detection of early infection in immunocompromised patients. The absence of radiographic findings however does not rule out pulmonary disease. Tuberculosis (TB) being the main opportunistic pulmonary infection contributing to mortality among HIV infected individuals, it is important to diagnose and treat it early. The present study is undertaken to establish the role of CT scan, particularly thin section CT (HRCT), in the early diagnosis of pulmonary disease in symptomatic HIV seroreactive patients with normal chest radiograph. 56 HIV seropositive patients who had pulmonary complaints with normal chest radiograph were selected. A HRCT scan of the chest was performed, HRCT findings were correlated with clinical features and other investigations. 19 (36.53%) out of 52 patients with normal chest radiograph had abnormal HRCT chest findings. HRCT of the chest should be done and must be included in the diagnostic algorithm for detecting early lesions in HIV seropositive patients with pulmonary symptoms with normal chest X- ray.

A study on Carbapenemase detection in Enterobacteraceae family in a tertiary care hospital using Modified Hodge Test (MHT)
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2324-2335
Introduction: Carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is a challenging problem for clinicians. MHT is the CDC recommended screening test with a sensitivity & specificity of >90% . Carbapenems are last resort antibiotics for multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae . However, resistance to carbapenem is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide leading to major therapeutic failures and increased mortality rate. Early and effective detection of carbapenemase producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is therefore key to control dissemination of carbapenem resistance in nosocomial as well as community-acquired infection. The aim of present study was to evaluate efficacy of Modified Hodge test (MHT) for early detection of carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE).
Aim & Objectives: The aim of the present study to detect carbapenem resistant or carbapenemase production in Enterobacteraceae using MHT.
Materials and Methods: Study period was between Feb-April 2014. 100 urine & pus/wound swab samples were included in the study. Isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were identified to genus/species level. MBL detection was done for 85 samples as per CLSI guidelines. 25 were MBL producers. MHT was done for these 25 isolates. 0.5McFarland dilution of E.coli ATCC 25922 in 5ml broth or saline was prepared. Lawn culture of E.coli ATCC 25922 done. Imipenem 10µgm disc was placed in the center. Test organism was streaked from the edge of plate to the edge of the disc & incubated overnight.
Results: In the present study, Isolates included E.coli -54 (64%), Klebsiella spp..- 17 (20%) & Proteus spp..- 14 (16%). Positive MHT had a Clover leaf type indentation at the intersection of the test organism and E.coli25922 within the sensitive zone. Of these 4 (7%) Pseudomonas, 1(6%) Klebsiella spp. & 1(7%) E.coli spp.. were found to be Carbapenemase producers.
Conclusion: Although MHT is routinely used, advanced molecular methods is to be done for confirmation which we intend to do in the future. Enterobacteriaceae members are among the most common and easily transferable bacterial species responsible for severe HAI. This study revealed a high percentage of Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates producing carbapenemases in India. Detection of such bacteria, formulating hospital antibiogram, and monitoring the usage of antimicrobial drugs is recommended.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2336-2342
Genetic factors play a significant role in the etiology of intellectual disability (ID). The goal of this study was to identify microscopically visible chromosomal abnormalities in an Indian ID population and to determine their frequency, pattern, and clinical features. A total of 527 intellectually disabled individuals from special schools and institutions in 2 different State on U.P. and Bihar Population were screened for cytogenetic abnormalities. Additional analyses were carried out for verification or further characterization by using fluorescence in situ hybridization, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, or analysis of the FMR1 promoter CGG(n) repeat. Of the 527 individuals with ID, chromosomal abnormalities were found in 87 (16.5%). Trisomy 21 was the major chromosomal abnormality, identified in 74 patients (14%). Other chromosome abnormalities included 8 X-chromosomal and 5 autosomal aberrations. Details on chromosome aberrations and confirmation analyses are discussed. This study shows that chromosomal abnormalities are an important cause of ID in India. Cytogenetic analysis is important for an adequate diagnosis in patients and subsequent genetic counselling for their families, especially in developing countries with limited facilities, such as India.

WORK STRESS AND OCCUPATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY AMONG ACADEMIC STAFF OF UNIVERSITIES IN CROSS RIVER AND AKWA IBOM STATES, NIGERIA
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2373-2382
This study investigated the influence of work stress and occupational productivity among
academic staff of universities in Cross River and AkwaIbom States, Nigeria. To achieve the
purpose of this study, two research questions were raised to guide the study. Related literature
was reviewed. Expost facto research design was adopted for the study. The stratified random
sampling technique was employed and a sample size of 639 academic staff was used for the
study. Work Stress and Occupational Productivity of Academic Staff Questionnaire
(WSOPASQ) was used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using one-way
analysis of variance (ANOVA) to test the two null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The
findings revealed that role ambiguity has a significant influence on teaching but not
significant in terms of research and community service. Working environment has a
significant influence on teaching and research but not significant in terms of community
service. The study recommended among others that university management should provide
adequate facilities such as staff offices, lecture halls, equipment, materials, this is to ensure
that academic staff has the tools and technology to work to their full potentials. Academic staff
should undergo proper orientation and monitoring in order to have adequate information
about the demands and job roles.
A Retrospective Analysis of Maxillofacial Trauma in a Tertiary Care Centre in central India: A 8-year study
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2383-2395
Introduction: The incidence of maxillofacial fractures varies worldwide. The
information on epidemiological characteristics in association with the etiology and
incidence of injuries help in prevention and appropriate treatment of such injuries.
Purpose: Thus, the aim of this retrospective study was to describe the prevalence,
incidence, pattern, etiology, management of trauma cases at Shyam Shah Medical
College (S. S. M. C), in a span of 8 years.
Patients & Methods: The data collected included age, sex, date and month (seasonal
variations), etiology, site of fracture, associated injuries, treatment modalities used for
the management of maxillofacial trauma patients reporting in the Department of
Dentistry and emergency casualty department of S. S. M. C., Rewa from February 2013
till January 2021.
Results: A total of 892 cases depicted fractures of the facial skeleton. The mean age was
36 years. Though patients ranging from 4-75 years reported for treatment. Males
outnumbered females with a male: female ratio of 8:1. Injuries commonly occurred in
the 21-30 years age group. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) were the most common
etiological factor in 631 patients followed by inter personal violence (IPV) in 147
patients. Mandibular fracture was the most frequently encountered fracture. The
seasonal variation showed the peak incidence of cases in the months of January and
December with 23.4 % of total patients. 15.13 % of the cases were managed
conservatively, 7.29% patients with debridement and soft tissue repair, while closed
reduction was used in 60.54 % of patients and 17.04 % were treated with surgical open
reduction and internal fixation. There was no serious complication in any of our patient
in the average follow up span of 6 months.
Conclusion: This study verified a young male predominance involved in maxillofacial
trauma. RTAs contributed as the major etiological factor. Thus, similar long-span multi
centric epidemiologic studies may help government and authorities to plan periodic
review of driving skills & strict implementation of traffic rules policies.

CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM AMONG STAFF WORKING IN HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN CHENNAI
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2427-2432
Execution evaluation frameworks are dependably of basic worry of any
association/organization while dealing with its HR. Albeit, advanced education organizations
relies on both instructing and non-showing staff working in it, yet real obligation happens
upon instructors who are the wellspring of understudy's information, learning and
improvement. Accordingly, this need of educators' execution administration constrains these
foundations to have efficient execution examination frameworks, with a specific end goal to
direct, assess and improve instructor's execution. The reason for this study is to investigate
different parts of execution evaluation (PA) frameworks utilized for educators as a part of
higher instructive organizations (HEIs) and to address the subject of how examination can
assume its part in enhancing execution of instructors in advanced education. A mix of
subjective and quantitative exploration approach has been embraced which comprise of a
survey keeping in mind the end goal to get essential information for examining distinctive
parts of current execution evaluation framework and inside and out meetings with a specific
end goal to ponder exhaustive impression of educators in regards to execution examination
approaches in their foundation. Discoveries have demonstrated that out of date assessment
framework, rejection of understudies' input, untrained evaluators and diminished inspiration
for the procedure are the potential upsetting elements for execution examination frameworks

Innovativeness is a sine qua non for authoritative survival.Associations, for example, colleges
have an unsaid assention of the requirement for innovativeness in scholastic situations. Be that as
it may, the execution of inventiveness is impeded by neither formal support and arrangements
nor realization of its advantages and motivations. The reason for this study is to consider the
degree of the conceivable builds of cultivating imagination in a scholarly office. It is
recommended that inspiration, inventive considering, imagination objectives and group setting,
transformational authority, and institutional backing are basic parts to encourage imagination in
the scholarly world. Further ramifications and examination are talked about.
A real time hierarchical shift design process at nursing homes A 2-stage Technique
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2437-2444
the demand for nursing homes has grown as a result of the ageing of the population. "Multi-shift, high time-varying demand, hierarchical and collaborative" characterizes nursing practice. The number of nurses needed in a 24-hour period will vary greatly depending on the time of day; hierarchical means that different levels of nurses' abilities exist; collaborative means that different levels of employees collaborate to serve the elderly. Because of the high time-varying demand, the number of nurses needed in a 24-hour period will vary greatly. SDP and hierarchical staffing issues are the focus of our research, which includes the design of each shift's time frame to accommodate demand times and how to deploy hierarchical employees to the shifts. The two-stage technique will be used to tackle the issue. In the first step, we construct the shift schedule and calculate the number of employees required for each shift based on the characteristics of high timevarying demand. According to the restrictions of hierarchical coordination and collaboration, we calculate the number of employees required for each shift at each level in the second step. Different demand variations are studied and useful conclusions are made from the sensitivity analysis. Our findings may help nursing facilities cope with increased demands and personnel shortages by providing efficient decision-making tools and methodologies

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2445-2448
Due to the increased resistance rate of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa among
gram-negative bacteria, the risk factors of drug-resistant negative bacilli in patients should be
evaluated in the development of initial anti-infective treatment regimen in clinical practice. In
this study, multidrug-resistant bacteria accounted from the strains obtained by wound
cultures, which may be related to the patients with serious illness admitted to our hospital as a
tertiary care hospital and the more complex history of antibacterial drug use. This study puts
in a sincere effort to find the risk of diabetic foot ulcer with multidrug-resistant organism
infection.
A Prospective Study on Bipolar Hip Arthroplasty in Fractures of Femur in Adults Patients
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 2449-2456
Background: There is still controversy about the choice of treatment of displaced fractures of the neck of femur which leads the best clinical and functional outcomes. Treatment options include internal fixation, unipolar or bipolar hemiarthroplasty, or total hip replacement.
Aim: The aim of this study is to find out which treatment option can lead to the best clinical and functional outcomes.
Material and Methods: Fifty one consecutive patients study conducted from (Jan 2020 to Oct 2020) at Department of Orthopaedics, Moti Lal Nehru Medical College, Prayagraj. ,were selected. Preoperative and operative data was retrieved from inpatient hospital files.
Results: Postoperatively, Thirty three patients (89.2%) either returned to the functional level that they had had before the fracture or used only a cane, which they had not needed before.
Conclusion: In our study, the bipolar hemiarthroplasty has served us well. Two-year results of total hip replacement appeared to be better than those of bipolar hemiarthroplasty, but this finding was based on relatively small numbers of patients.

The validated protein precipitation method was applied for estimation of Abemaciclib in human plasma with Abemaciclib-D10 as an internal standard (ISTD) by using HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. The chromatographic separation was achieved with Methanol: Acetonitrile (pH: 6.5 Adjusted with diluted ammonia solution) (20:80%, v/v) using the Discovery® C18 HPLC Column, 2 cm × 2.1 mm, 5 μm. The total analysis time was 3.0 min and flow rate was set to 0.7 ml/min. The mass transitions of Abemaciclib and Abemaciclib-D10 obtained were m/z 507.32 ®393.16 and 517.66®393.16. The standard curve shows correlation coefficient (r2) greater than 0.9983 with a range of 6.00-768.00 pg/ml using the linear regression model.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the management and outcomes of patients with synovial sarcoma in the extremities.
Material and Methods: 46 patients were included in this retrospective longitudinal study conducted at a tertiary cancer center between 2010 and 2017. There were 29 males with a median age of 21 (7-70) years and 17 females with a median age of 35 (13-50) years. On immune-histochemical staining CD-99 and vimentin stained positive in 100%, and BCL2 Positive in 94 %.
Results: Limb salvage with wide excision was performed in 28 (61%) and amputation was needed in 18(39 %).12 (26%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with ifosfamide and Adriamycin-based chemotherapy. Older Age (>25 years) was associated with lower 5-yeardisease-free survival (p=0.04). The high-grade tumor was associated with lower 5-year disease-free survival (p=0.008). The 5-year disease-free survival in tumor size ≤ 10 cm compared to tumor size >10 cm had no significant difference. The median disease-free survival in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group as compared to no neoadjuvant chemotherapy was (28.5 vs 21 months) (p>0.05). The adjuvant treatment group and non-adjuvant treatment group had median disease-free survival of 29 months and 11.5 months respectively.
Conclusion: The age of the patient, stage of the tumor, tumor differentiation, and metastatic disease at presentation are risk factors for poor survival for patients with synovial sarcoma. The patients treated with adjuvant radiotherapy or adjuvant chemoradiation had beneficial outcomes as compared to patients who received no adjuvant treatment
