Case Series: Variable Genetic Expressivity In Crouzon Syndrome- A Comparative Report Of Three Cases
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 12-22
Despite the intense research, the clinical manifestation of syndromic craniosynostosis patients remains an enigma. Human skull is made up of various bone joints connected by sutures. The sutures fuse in later life after the complete growth ofthe brain. If any of these sutures close early, it may encumber the normal growth of the brain. In craniosynostosis there are disturbances in the growth of the skull which are caused by premature synostosis at one or more cranial sutures, resulting in typical deformities of the vault called as dyscrania. Crouzon syndrome is an emblematic example of craniosynostosis. Cranial malformations in crouzon syndrome depend on the order and rate of progression of sutural synostosis. Thus, physical appearance varies from patient to patient. In this article we intend to compare two patients with crouzon syndrome and a clinically non syndromic patient with beaten metal appearance radiographically. The idea behind this is that each syndromic patient is distinctive and a separate approach for treatment of such patients is desired.

The Spectrum Of Discretized Bdides With Reduced Number Of Collocation Points
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 50-59
The behaviour of the eigenvalues of Dirichlet Boundary-Domain Integro-Differential
Equations (BDIDEs) with a reduced number of collocation points has never been
discussed theoretically. The uncertainty of the behaviour of the eigenvalues of Dirichlet
BDIDEs will prohibit the use of iteration methods in solving the BDIDEs system of
equations. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the spectral properties of matrix
operator obtained from the discretized Dirichlet BDIDEs with reduced number of
collocation points. We calculate the eigenvalues of the matrix operator, numerically. The
discussions of the spectral properties are based on the eigenvalues of the discretized
BDIDEs that are obtained numerically. In our numerical test, the attribution of the eigenvalues
for matrix operator obtained numerically for the discretized BDIDEs with reduced
number of collocation points exceeds 1. The findings demonstrate that it is utterly
impracticable to solve the system yielded from the discretized Dirichlet BDIDEs with a
reduced number of collocation points with an iterative method. The theoretical explanation
of why this behaviour occurs is also provided. With this result of the eigenvalues attained,
the matrix equations yielded from the discretized BDIDEs with a reduced number of
collocation points can purely be solved by direct methods.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 60-67
In this paper, we solve a diet problem of McDonald’s sets menu in order to
find the optimal costs and satisfied the daily calories and nutritional requirements for a
person. The nutrient contents and price for each set menu of McDonald’s need to be
found. After that, by using the integer linear programming technique, we search the sets
menu of McDonald’s with the minimum costs while satisfying the calories intake by a
person is not exceeded 2500 Kcal / a day or 2200 Kcal / day. The mathematical model of
the problem is formulated as linear integer programming where the total cost for the
proposed set menu is the objective function. The constraints involved are the amounts of
calories, carbohydrates, protein, fats, salt and sugar. By using the Solver tools in MS
Excel, we solve this problem.
Improved Sampling Data Workflow Using Smtmk To Increase The Classification Accuracy Of Imbalanced Dataset
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 91-99
One of the main challenges in machine learning classification is handling
imbalanced data because imbalanced data can produce result bias towards the majority
class and a poor performance of classification. Therefore, in this paper, an improved
workflow is introduced to cater this issue. After combination of Synthetic Minority Oversampling
Technique (SMOTE) and Tomek Links or known as SMTmk method is
performed, additional step is required to further increase the performance of machine
learning classification especially in Specificity field. The step is completed by reducing the
number of majority class based on the ratio of minority class. Three machine learning
algorithms is used to test the classification result which are Extreme Gradient Boosting,
Random Forest and Logistic Regression. Result recorded in this research shows that the
ratio of 7 to 1 is better than the established methods which are SMOTE and hybrid method
of SMOTE and Tomek Links.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 111-123
This paper proposes a concept utilizing a thermoelectric generator (TEG) device
to convert thermal energy different between ambient air and soil into electrical power. In
this study, soil temperature profile with three various depths has been studied to find the
optimum depth for maximum temperature differences between ambient air and the soil. The
study area coverage is at the lake nearby Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Bangi
Malaysia. After the temperature data collected, the efficiency of TEG with different
configurations was tested in the lab. Then, energy storage devices and buck-booster are
used to further enhance the capabilities of TEG. All the models are then integrated and
tested to power up electronics load according to the temperature profile collected. The
results have proposed the depth of soil 20 cm will provide an optimal average temperature
different of 3.34 0C. Based on the temperature gradient data, combination of four TEG
TEP-12656 in a series connection with DC booster circuitDC1587 will produce an optimum
voltage output about 3 V. This output voltage is enough to fully charges small storage
system such as super capacitors 10 F in 6.58 minutes. Arduino Uno was used as a load and
it was successfully powered up for a short duration of time before energy fully depleted.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 124-143
This paper reviews the development of the business intelligence (BI) platform in
the web application system based on the open-source content management system (CMS):
WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. The open-source CMS mostly used by companies for their
websites and web application systems, while the BI application used by companies to
analyze the information needed for decision-making. The BI application involves data
visualization (DV) techniques that displayed in a visual chart or dashboard, which can
effectively improve the interpretation capabilities of data. However, the open-source CMS
cannot easily be integrated with commercial BI software, and most commercial BI tools are
expensive and require the purchase of copyright. In this study, the existing DV plugins,
extensions, and modules in WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal are reviewed and analyzed for
developing the BI application in the system. The aimed result for this study is to find out
which open-source CMS between WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal is the best used for
developing the BI platform in the web application system by using their DV plugins,
extensions, and modules.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 144-158
In recent years, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) was widely implemented for
developing predictive and estimation models to estimate the needed parameters. As the
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case numbers are rising internationally as
uncontrolled outbreaks, it is important to better understand what factors promote the super
spreading events. In this paper, the use of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Radial Basis
Function (RBF) of ANN for COVID-19 spread and death contributing factors in America
was described. A comparison was made by using a dataset of COVID-19 cases and deaths
reported from 49 states in America during April 2020. Seven covariates used in the network
which are High Temperature, Low Temperature, Average Temperature, Population,
Percentage of Cases over Population, Percentage of Death over Population, and Total
Cases. However, the performance of MLP and RBF networks may be evaluated relatively
similar. It was found that both MLP and RBF proved that the Population, Percentage of
cases over population, and Total cases are the most contributing factors towards COVID-19
spread and death in America particularly.

This paper presents a study on minimising the estimation error of forecasting the
electricity consumption in Malaysia. A robust and accurate forecasts of electricity
consumption are deemed crucial for the supplier to arrive on fair estimations of electricity
supply optimally. Thus, identifying the best model to forecast the electricity consumption
accurately may hinder energy wastage. This research aims to examine which model gives
the least error in estimating the future electricity consumptions in Malaysia. Two models
were tested namely Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Regression Methods. In analysing
these models, this research applies the Microsoft Excel and SAS Enterprise Miner (SAS)
software. The data were extracted from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM),
CEIC Data Company and The Statistics Portal. Results indicate that ANN produces least
error as compared to the Regression Method as the former fits the data well whilst the latter
overfits the data. The ANN model uses NNTool from MATLAB is used for forecasting
future electricity consumption. The forecasted values (2020-2022) proved to provide more
interpretable forecasts. This study may benefit the electricity supplier, consumers and also
the Government of Malaysia, in particular the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.
It may provide insights on estimating the optimum amount of energy to be generated. This
will definitely increase the savings and reduce wastage from every angle. Ultimately, the
environment is saved too.
Synthesis Of Pyrazolopyrimidine Derivatives Along With Its Biological Activity Including Toxicity Studies
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 182-200
Pyrazolopyrimidines and related fused heterocycles are of interest as potential bioactive molecules. The heterocyclic fusion of pyrimidine ring and pyrazole ring resulted in formation of pyrazolopyrimidines, the structural analogues of biogenic purine class, undoubtedly, has high significance in the field of pharmaceutical and biotechnological sciences with wide spectrum of biological activities and its several derivatives. Toxicity may be due to the accumulation in a specific organ/ tissue (e.g. bosentan), the co -administration of other drugs affecting ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity) Cmax reaching off target IC50, or the high Cmax required for therapeutic effects. Assessing the relative drug efficacy and toxicity is important for medicinal chemists, pharmacologists, pharmacists, physicians. As multiple treatment options are available for many diseases, relative toxicity assessment is necessary. Difficulty in direct clinical trial comparisons forces network meta-analyses for estimating the relative toxicity. Therapeutic index (TI) assumes simplified linear relationships between receptor affinity, maximum unbound plasma drug concentration (Cmax) and toxicity. But high TI does not guarantee safety. For drugs metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP450),estimating TI based on target potencies alone is insufficient.
Teaching Vocabulary And Grammar Through Task Based Learning Activities
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 201-211
Grammar and vocabulary are two vital components that exist in English language. A good command on both of these would relatively make the use of the language better and attractive on the part of the listeners. But today students find it quite challenging to have an excellent hold or command in these areas of grammar and vocabulary and students often end up on a poor scoring scale either in the English subject or in competitive exams or in their professional careers. In order to have an experience and learn the problems faced by students on these two challenging areas an experimental study was conducted among degree students among a semi- urban college and after analysing the results,task-based learning activities were implemented for learning. The outcome and analysis from the teaching learning experience makes the source of this paper. The rapid development and progress among the students become the result of innovative teaching practices over traditional teaching and it shows the essentiality for implementing innovative teaching practices among language teachers. The outcome of the study showed a significant improvement in the performance of the students and also their receptiveness to activity-based learning method over the traditional method that was highly admired. The outcome of the TBL method can be seen through the post test scoring that has relatively improved the overall performance of the learners.

Introduction: COVID-19 is the current global coronavirus pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The first reports of the disease outbreaks appeared in China on December 31, 2019 and the first clinical manifestations occurred earlier on December 8, 2019. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern. On March 11 it was declared a pandemic. Common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, and anosmia (loss of smell).Complications can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pneumonia. The incubation period is usually around five days, but can range from two to fourteen days.
Aim of the research isto study of clinical and diagnostic criteria for neurological disorders and changes of laboratory parameters in patients with COVID-19.
Material and methods: We examined 31 patients who had undergone COVID-19 and were hospitalized at the private clinic "Neuromed-Service" named after academician N.M. Madjidov. There were 19 males and 14 females. The age of the patients varied from 18 to 75 years (the mean age made up 41 years).
Results: Patients with inflammatory diseases of the peripheral nervous system (neuropathy, facial nerve, trigeminal neuralgia), considering an increase of C-reactive protein were performed anti-inflammatory therapy with NSAIDs and steroids (Dexamethasone intramuscularly). In patients with convulsive syndrome EEG was monitored using the "Neuron - range 2" (Russia). Diffusechangesinthebioelectricalactivityofthecerebralcortexwererevealedinthestudiedpatients.Epiactivityinthefronto-parietalregionofthebrain (against the background of taking anticonvulsants)was also recorded. The dose of anticonvulsants was increased for these patients and decongestants were prescribed. An increase in fibrinogen was also noted in the blood of these patients. Conclusion: Thereby, in patients after suffering COVID-19, the blood tests showed an increase of fibrinogen by more than 2 times and an increase of C-reactive protein. All this testifies the fact that in these patients after treatment, at the alleged improvement of their condition, the blood continued the process of thrombosis strengthening and inflammation persisted in tissues and organs. In patients who prematurely stopped taking antiplatelet agents and anti-inflammatory drugs after illness, neurological and other complications were developed

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 346-354
The earliest procedure in unilateral cleft lip nose management was concenterated by Victor Veau in his book at 1938. He used simple coaptation of the margins of the cleft after they had been surgically exposed. The results obtained with this technique were unfortunately consistently bad for many reasons but mainly because of poor surgical reconstruction of the labial musculature. Through the principles done by Veau and more recently by Delaire, there has been a re-appraisal to concept of primary cheilorhinoplasty in unilateral cleft lip management. Senior cleft surgeons as Millard, McComb and Salyer provided encouraging results after reviewing the long term results of simultaneous repair. They proved that there was no interruption of growth by early surgery and reported stable results up to 18 years after surgery

Phytotherapy continues to play an important role in the prevention and treatment of diseases (communicable and non-communicable). Amazingly, more than 80% of the global populations nowadays adopt phytotherapy as a basic source of maintaining good healthy conditions, owing to the pronounced side effects, non-availability, and expensive nature of conventional treatment options. . A number of medicinal plants had been resourceful (effective) against a range of diseases, with few developed into drugs based on the available phytotherapeutics, quite a large number of them are yet to scale through clinical trials to determine their safety and efficacy. The origin of the medicinal plants use had been since time immemorial and traced back to Europe and Egypt many centuries ago. The first records of knowledge documentation were, however, produced by Shen Nung (a Chinese emperor) 2500 BC ago, describing different recipes of drug preparation from 300 medicinal plants for the management of numerous human diseases (1).

EVALUATION OF PHYTOCHEMICALS AND ANTI-NUTRITIONAL PROFILE IN UNDERUTILISED GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 443-455
Due to diverse climate in India, wide variety of green leafy vegetables can be found which are still unexplored and underutilized. In addition to being resilient and adaptive, these vegetables also demand low cost plantation and harvesting. Demand for sufficient food and nutrition has led to scout more of these vegetables. A study was conducted to assess the anti-nutritional and phytochemicals profile of some underutilized and commonly consumed green leafy vegetables (GLV) to increase their acceptability in the daily diet. Amaranth (Amaranthusviridis), cauliflower leaves (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), radish leaves (Raphanus raphanistrum subsp. sativus), spinach (Spinacia oleracea) and lettuce leaves (Lactuca sativa)[V1] were collected locally. The leaves were washed and tray dried in a hot air oven at 60°C for 2-3 h and ground into powder. They were tested for presence of phytochemicals and anti-nutritional components phytic acid, nitrate, oxalate, tannin, and alkaloids. Among the GLV cauliflower greens had the highest content of oxalate (97.78±0.02 mg/100 g) followed by radish leaves (84.5±0.02) and spinach (72.51±0.02), respectively. Higher levels of phytic acid occurred in lettuce (26.89±0.02 mg/100 g), amaranth (25.79±0.02), and cauliflower greens (25.50±0.02). Tannin content was in cauliflower (37.79±0.03 mg/100 g), spinach (39.89±0.02), radish (42.54±0.02), amaranth (41.26±0.02), and lettuce (43.7±0.02). No differences occurred in nitrate content of all GLVs (cauliflower (12.44±0.01 mg/100g), radish (9.8±0.02), spinach (7.9±0.28), amaranth (11.86±0.01), lettuce (12.76±0.02). Alkaloid content of the GLVs was highest in cauliflower (72.81±0.01 mg/100 g) followed by radish (68.09±0.02) and lowest in lettuce (48.8±0.02). The GLVs offer cheap, rich sources of several phytochemicals. Phytochemicals are considered to be new form of medicine inducing health. The anti-nutritional content is of no consequence and may be reduced by various processing and cooking methods. Without any interference from anti nutritional factors, greens can be tapped to their maximum potential. These underutilised greens can be developed as value-added food products but mostly greens serve as fodder for animals and is wasted. This study proves that the beneficial extracts from these underutilised green leafy vegetables can be used as rich sources of micronutrient and phytochemicals in our daily diet.

The Association between Uric and Ascorbial Acid Serum and Lichen Planus Pathogenesis
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 489-494
Background: Lichen planus (LP) is a common disorder whose etiopathogenesis is not clear.Recently, it has been suggested that increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in the underlying mechanism of LP. Free radicals have an important involvement in the underlying mechanism of lichen planus and also various skin diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate serum uric acid (UA) levels as a measure of the antioxidant defense status in lichen planus patients.
Methods: A case control study was performed on 17 patients with lichen planus and 17 healthy subjects as a control group. We estimated Serum level of uric acid and ascorbic acid using ELISA.
Results: The mean of serum levels of uric acid and ascorbic acid was lower in patient group compared to healthy group with no significant difference between the two studied groups.
Conclusion: Lichen planus pathogens are not specifically affected by antioxidants as uric acid and ascorbic acid. However, in addition to other interactive variables, the difference in the level of serum for these anti-oxidants between lichen planus patients and healthy subjectsalbight not important– may suggest their involvement.
Hybrid Cuckoo Search-Evolutionary Programming Technique for Distributed Generation and Battery Energy Storage Installation
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 495-507
Installation of distributed generation (DG) in distribution system has been favorable among them due to its great
impact on power system operation. However, improper installation of DGs will lead to under-compensation or overcompensation phenomena. Thus, a reliable optimization technique is required to address this problem. This paper proposes a hybrid cuckoo search evolutionary programming (HCSEP) based technique for renewable energy
distributed generation (REDG) and battery energy stored (BES) for loss and voltage stability control in power system. This technique integrates the operator in cuckoo search algorithm into the traditional evolutionary programming (EP) technique to alleviate the setback experienced in both traditional techniques. The proposed technique determines the optimal allocation and sizing of multi-units of DG and BES to address the loss minimization and voltage stability control. Validation on the proposed technique on the IEEE 30-Bus Reliability Test System (RTS) managed to produce convincing results and could be beneficial to the utility. Comparative studies conducted between the proposed HCSEP and the traditional EP highlight the superiority of the proposed HSCEP.

Objective of the study: The purpose of the study was to compare stress level, basketball performance and menstrual distress in during and post menstrual phases among the university level female basketball players. The relationship between stress level, basketball performance and menstrual distress was also ascertained. Method: A total 80 girls were purposively selected as subjects from different colleges of Punjabi University, Patiala. All the subjects were assessed for stress, basketball performance and menstrual distress in during and post menstruation phases of menstrual cycle. The stress level of subjects was measured with the help of Perceived Stress Scale
(PSS) developed by Sheldon Cohen (1988). Menstrual distress was assessed by using the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) developed by Rudolf. H. Moos (1969).Basketball performance was assessed with the help of Johnson Basketball Test Battery design by L. William Johnson (1934).
Results: Paired sample t-test revealed that the basketball players had significantly (p<0.05) higher mean value on perceived stress scale in during menstruation phase as compared to post menstruation phase. Menstrual distress, pain and concentration were found to have significantly higher mean values (p<0.05) in during menstruation phase among basketball players. Behaviour and arousal were significantly (p<0.05) associated with perceived stress and control significantly associated (p<0.05) with basketball performancein post menstrual phase.
Conclusion: The performance of basketball players was not affected during the menstrual phase. Behaviour and arousal showed significantassociation with stress level and control was observed to be significantly associated with basketball performance in the post menstrual phase.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT ASPECTS OF SECONDARY NEUROENDOCRINE CHANGES IN ACUTE TWIN BRAIN INJURIES
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 572-581
Nowadays, neuroendocrine symptoms following twin brain injuries (twin brain injuries) are more common and negatively affect the outcome of Brain Double Injuries by reducing the overall quality of life. However, research from the scientific literature suggests that neuroendocrine dysfunctions, particularly hypopituitarism, play an important role in the etiology of complications. It has been found that postoperative hypopituitarism has been a clinically common phenomenon in the last twenty years and is likely to contribute significantly to these disorders, given the parallelism of adenohypophysis among those following neuroendocrine changes associated with hypopituitarism other than cerebral palsy. In this our scientific study, we sought to explore hypothesized pathophysiological mechanisms based on neuroendocrine anomalies after a Brain Double Injury through an overview, improved on the basis of an analysis of early diagnosis and treatment aspects

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 625-637
Epilepsy is a disease categorized by a spontaneous repetition of unprovoked seizures, is one of the most widespread chronic neurological states. the rate of its prevalence is reported to be 0.7–1.0% (Fiest, Sauro, Wiebe, Patten, Kwon & Dykeman, 2017). The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) proposes that neurological comorbidities, including epilepsy, could be a risk factor for COVID-19(Kuroda, 2020). The concern of the COVID19 pandemic toward patients with epilepsy include the fact that Frequent seizures would cause malnutrition, and the nutritional status is associated with the immune system (Crepin, Godet, Chassain, Preux&Desport, 2009). On the other hand, going to emergency rooms because of increased or uncontrollable seizures could expose the patient to coronavirus. Therefore, it's crucial to consider innovative ways to detect and control seizures among these patients.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 644-649
Background: Unrecognized transection of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) or its motor branch could result in an unexpected permanent palsy. So, for a safe thyroid operation, intraoperative assurance of anatomical and functional RLN integrity is a necessity. Aim of work: To evaluate the recognition and protection of RLN by staining the RLN intraoperatively with methylene blue (MB) in one side and comparing it with the identification alone in the other side visually during total thyroidectomy. Subjects and methods: A case control study (retrospective study) carried out in the department of surgical oncology Zagazig university hospitals and Ismailia teaching oncology hospital during the period from November 2018 to August 2019. The study included 112 patients with bilateral thyroid disease who will do total thyroidectomy. The patients were subdivided into two groups depending on the MB use. Complete history taking was taken from all subjects. General examination of all body systems and local examination of the neck were done. We also did full lab investigations, neck U/S then the operations were performed. Results: We detected transient vocal cord palsy 10 sides (8.6%) of visual identification alone, while in MB sides no case was detected with the same lesion. Conclusion: Recognition of RLN intraoperatively by MB staining is cheap and widely available technique and can decrease the stress during thyroidectomy, especially when Intra Operative Nerve Monitoring (IONM) is absent.

Analyzing and Predicting Cyber Security Violations using Machine Learning Techniques
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 659-661
To deepen our insight into the evolution of a threat situation, study of cyber incident data sources is an essential process. This is a relatively recent subject for science and many experiments still have to be conducted. Throughout this article, we present statistical analysis of the 12-year cyber hacking operation (2005-2017) violation incident data set which includes attacks bymalware. We prove that, in comparison to the literary results, breach sizes and inter-arrival times for hacking breaches can be modeled instead of distributions, since they have an auto-correlation. In order to adapt the time of the intercom and the scale of the violation, we suggest complex
stochastic process models. We also prove that the inter arrival periods and the violation scale can be estimated from these models. We perform quantitative and qualitative pattern research on the data set to achieve a better understanding of the growth of hacking infringement incidents. We derive a variety of observations into cyber security, including the challenge of cyber hacking in its scale, but not in its severity.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 662-679
A comprehensive study is undertakenon the functional development of brain in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).Brain functionality trajectories are unique in autism spectrum disorder .Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a set of neuro developmental disorders characterized by a deficit in social behaviors and nonverbal interactions such as reduced eye contact, facial expression, and body gestures in the early childhood days till the age of three. It is not necessarily a single disorder, and it is broadly considered to be a multiple disorder resulting from genetic and non-genetic parameters and their interpretation. Hereditary study of ASD has acknowledged mutations that interfere with typical neurodevelopment in womb through childhood. These DNA complexities of genes have been involved in synaptogenesis and axon motility. Recent developments in neuroimaging studies have proved many vital perceptions in vivo into the pathological changes which occur in the patients’ brain with ASD. Amygdala plays a majorrole in the limbic system and the affective loop of the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuit, in cognition and ASD has been proved invarious neuropathological and neuroimaging research findings. Besides the amygdala, the nucleus accumbent is also considered as the vital ingredient which is related with the social recognition response in ASD. Although educational and behavioral treatments have been the mainstay of the management of ASD, pharmacological and interventional treatments have also shown remarkable benefits in subjects with ASD. Also, there have been implications on few patients who experienced through one of the interventional treatments resulted improvement after deep brain stimulation. The key architecture of ASD development which could be the focus for intervention is still an untapped destination. Further work is needed to explore the horizons on the grey trajectories on ASD.

Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) are one of the major health challenges, which has caused global concern due to their magnitude and high social cost. Industry 4.0 will significantly bring in IoT in the healthcare sector in an age of great growth in connected devices (up to 100 billion by 2030). The COVID-19 pandemic further accentuates the importance of using IoT in healthcare settings for both the providers and NCD patients due to controlled movements and enforced self-isolation throughout the world including Malaysia. In this regard, the improvement of “connected devices” has had a remarkable effect upon the entire healthcare sector and has been noticeably appreciated in “remote clinical monitoring”, “chronic disease management”, “preventive care”, and “assisted living” for senior NCD patients. This study intends to interpret the significance of IoT in connection with wearable technologies and digital healthcare. The study discusses several benefits of IoT like reducing cost, rising profits for the healthcare service providers in Malaysia, a higher level of success and productivity, and precision of “health monitoring and treatment systems”. The insights of this study will help the elderly NCD patients’ community and healthcare providers to recognise the significance of IoT Enabled Health Monitoring and Assistive Systems due to their significant contribution to improving healthcare in the country in the long run.

IOT-ENABLED INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVACY PRESERVATION IN BIG DATA
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 724-731
The growth in internet of items (IoT) use in big data is exponential, and a large number of these devices are expected to be monitored in various domains for different applications. Therefore, high traffic volumes and safety standards and procedures must be managed by the servers. Although many mechanisms are in place to protect the data transmitted, they are not enough to satisfy the data requirements. This work therefore aims to enhance the security and privacy of IoT communications among big data through the implementation of server privacy and the development of unique signatures using device attributes.These features may be constant depending on the user, but when the device communicates, identity changes to protect privacy. To allocate IDs based on the IoT device attributes, a special server called the Attribute Management System (AMS) is used. Depending on data type and transfer length, three different algorithms are used. This latest, secure IoT device design communication offers safe big data confidentiality.
Effectiveness of Using Venous Graft as a Tendon Sheath Substitute in Repair of Flexor Tendon Injuries of the Hand
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 732-740
Background: The main goal of flexor tendon surgery is to restore digital motion by providing
tendon healing and preserving tendon gliding. The formation of peritendinous adhesions around
the repair site is one of several adverse events that may prevent achievement of this goal Flexor
tendon injuries occur frequently, adhesions between the tendon and its sheath are the most
common complication after tendon repair. The using of venous graft as a tendon sheath
substitute following tendon repair is a new technique for managing tendon injury that may
improve the result of existing method [1, 2].
Methods: In this study twelve patients were seen within 6 months in Plastic Surgery Unit,
Surgery Department, Zagazig University Hospital, and El-Ahrar Teaching Hospital in Zagazig.
However, no patient escaped or was excluded from the study. Those 12 patients were selected
among the cases of hand trauma coming to the hospital with Pure Flexor tendon injuries to
assess our study without affecting other injures ( orthopedic, vascular and nerve injures).
Results: All patients were assessed using the total active motion (TAM) scoring Final
assessment after a follow-up period of 6 months revealed excellent range of movement in two
cases, good range of movement in 10 cases and good result in 2 cases.
Conclusion: the use of autologous vein graft as a replacement of tendon sheath has many
advantages like; it is not expensive, being autologous so not carrying the risk of infection,
also it will not affect the tendon healing like other materials. It also improves tendon
nourishment.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 741-758
Endometrial cancer is counted to be the most common gynecological malignancy and it is usually diagnosed at the early stages of the disease .Cancer staging main target is to help clinicians in making the decision for best management of cases and to guide treatment plan. Surgical staging includes; hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and estimation of regional LN involvement, specifically the pelvic and aortic lymph node. Some instructed that lymphadenectomy clarifies the risk of recurrence and helps clinicians make the decision to give adjuvant treatment to high-risk patients. While, some suggested that, complete pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy itself is associated with major comorbidities. Sentinel lymphadenectomy has been suggested in the staging process of the diseases with fewer traumas has considerable appeal.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 759-766
Many researches about English language have been conducted by many researchers related to pronunciation errors by English learners around the world. This research investigates the errors of English
pronunciation made by Indonesian college students in Indonesia. This research uses qualitative method with
purposive sampling data. Data have been collected from 50 students of Gunadarma University, Jakarta. In
collecting data, the researcher typed the mispronounciation words as well as recorded their voice while they
were speaking in front of the class. It is found that: 1) English language has many different sounds for a vowel
letter (for example: letter „a‟ pronounced as [æ], [ɒ], [ə], etc.); 2) Indonesian language does not have silentconsonant
and silent-vowel letters (for example: silent g, h, k, and e); 3) The plossive consonant letters are not
pronounced clearly in bahasa Indonesia such the word tidak, bebek and sebab, etc. Thus, the Indonesian students
have problems the English words such as think, philosophy, psychology, bright, etc. In conclusion, many college
students in Indonesia are confused to pronounce some English words because they have such inconsistescy
sounds for vowel letters, vowel-letter combination, silent letters and the sounds of two or three combination of
consonant letters. This research is hoped to be very helpful for English teachers especially for teaching TEFL
(Teaching English as a Foreign Language) to help their students increasing their undertanding as well as their
pronunciation skills in speaking English. This research may be helpful for English teachers who want to design
some teaching methods to overcome the English pronunciation problems faced by college students in Indonesia

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 803-814
COVID-19 lockdown restricted movement throughout the world. The whole world was quarantined and a large number of populations faced stressful situations in other aspects of daily life such as unexpected economic downturn, the higher burden on non-communicable diseases, lifestyle changes, various mental health issues, etc. There was a need for innovative and unique solutions to help and address the critical shortage of healthcare providers not only for those who were infected with COVID-19 but also for those who may require medical attention. During this critical situation, telemedicine services resurfaced and become an asset, with greater importance to the health-care delivery spectrum. The rate at which implementation of telemedicine services are occurring throughout the world, it becomes necessary for the organizations to understand the needs of the people who opt for such services. While several healthcare providers and systems have turned to telemedicine to maintain contact with their regular patients to minimize their risks of direct contact, the rate of adoption of this technology among patients hitherto accustomed to face-to-face consultation is uncertain, particularly in developing countries like India. The adoption can be measured with help of five variables i.e. Availability, Affordability, Accessibility, Accommodation, and Acceptability.Aims and objectives:
The purpose of this study is to analyze impact of COVID-19 pandemic on telemedicine services provided post onset of pandemic in the year 2020. The study intends to evaluate these changes with help of five dimension of healthcare access to namely Affordability, Availability Accessibility, Accommodation and Acceptability and how the telemedicine services have been in use to provide the remote healthcare to the patients in need during this period. 5A’s of Telemedicine will be assessed thoroughly based upon the set parameters and from the perspective of end user of the telemedicine i.e. patients, with the help of structuredquestionnaire.The study, therefore, attempts to evaluate the 5A’s of telemedicine from the patient perspective during the pandemicperiod.
Result:
Majority of the respondents either strongly agreed or somewhat agreed all the 5A of telemedicine has improved during this pandemic.
Conclusion:
Affordability of telemedicine has improved post pandemic and has become cost effective owing to reduction in travel and reimbursement for telemedicine consultation. In case of availability of telemedicine has improved with respective to specialty consultations and more hospitals have opened telemedicine post pandemic in order to keep up with their foot fall and revenue. Accommodation with respect to languages, user friendly apps has been found very useful during pandemic. Accessibility has seen tremendous improvement due to the availability of smart phones and hi-speed internet. Finally, all the above factors have helped to improve the acceptability of telemedicine during this pandemic situation
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ANGIOPROTECTIVE TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH LUMBAR-SACRAL RADICULOPATHY
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 815-819
Pain in the lower back is the most urgent problem of neurology. The cause of back pain can be premature aging and wear of the intervertebral discs, as well as developmental abnormalities, autoimmune reaction to the disc tissue, etc. However, vascular disorders, especially the venous system in the area of spinal nerve segments, have not been sufficiently studied. The paper considers the use of the Doppler mapping method to determine the indicators of regional blood flow in the affected areas and the possibility of using the drug L-lysine escinate in the complex treatment of lumbar dorsopathies. Doppler framing in dorsopathies can reveal a disturbance of regional blood flow in the affected areas. Complex medical treatment with the inclusion of L-lysine escinate restores regional blood flow with subsequent porlanization of peripheral blood parameters, which contributes to a more rapid regression of neurological symptoms.

Correlation of peak amplitude ECG between leads Based on the condition of the heart
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 862-872
Non-invasive cardiac examination in standard clinic is still using 12-lead electrocardiograph. The results of the examination are presented on ECG paper or on the monitor screen. A normal electrocardiogram on one lead is not necessarily normal for the other lead, because each lead represents a certain part of the heart so that one by one is necessary. This examination takes time so that it can increase the stage of the disease if the patient turns out to be in an abnormal condition. This paper aims to correlate the peak amplitude of each lead to normal and abnormal heart conditions. If it is known that the peak amplitude is correlated between the leads, the other leads do not need to be checked, so that the diagnosis time will be obtained faster. Cardiac biosignal data that has been sampled with a frequency of 250 Hz is a discrete signal that can be stored digitally in a database. 10 samples of normal conditions and 10 samples of abnormal conditions were analyzed using Saphiro-Wilk so that the data were normally distributed. Spearman correlation analysis is used to get peak amplitude correlation between leads. The results showed that for abnormal conditions with a significance of 0.01 there was a correlation between the peak P lead I with leads III and V5, while for normal conditions there was a correlation between peak P lead I and leads V3 and V4. In abnormal conditions there is a correlation between peak R lead II and V6, while in normal conditions there is a correlation between peak R lead I and aVF.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 903-910
Introduction: The purpose of the study was to explore the experiences of Nepalese nurses on caring for hospitalized stroke in the acute stage. Material and Methods: A qualitative study was conducted among a purposefully selected sample of 16 registered nurses aged 24-55 years who were working in the neurology ward in a Teaching Hospital, Nepal. Focus group discussion using interview guidelines was used for data collection where the qualitative content analysis was used for data analysis. Results: The experiences of nurses regarding the deep understanding of caring for hospitalized stroke patients in the acute stage were characterized by three major themes: Perceived caring practice for the stroke patients, perceived barriers of caring practice for stroke patients, and ways to promote caring practice for stroke patients. Conclusion: The study suggests that there is a huge demand for a holistic approach to care for addressing the holistic needs of a person with a stroke. However, it was influenced by nurses caring behaviours and attitude, patient's health conditions, and their awareness of the disease as well as the organizational culture in the acute care setting. The provision of training about cultural-specific care through yoga integration in nursing might be the way to improve the caring practice of nurses for persons with stroke in the study setting.

Malignancy or carcinoma is the unrestrained development of cells. There are numerous kinds of malignancies. In this, we are concentrating on one of the normal tumor of females is malignant growth of the cervix. Cervical cancer is the second most kind of malignant growth found in females, apart from the breast cancer which is first existence. There are abundant quantities of screening tests for Cervical cancer in which Pap smear has done. Pap smear is a virtuous device for first screening of this cancer yet it has constraints as there are consistently odds of blunder due to human perceptions. The main aim of this research is to preclude failures by utilizing computerized methods for identifying the cervical cell. Here, the image of Pap smear has been improved by utilizing Kaun Filter. The weight factor in kaun filter is resolved using an optimization technique called Bayesian Optimization Algorithm. Thus it tends to be an upgraded KF. The reformed picture has been segmented by Active Contour model. In this, the weight upgrade issue has been rectified using Analytic Hierarchy Process optimization technique. Hereafter, the solid features are eliminated from the segmented region which is most significant for identifying the cancer by utilizing ELMCSA (Extreme Learning machine with Crow Search optimization) classifier. Experimental results for the cervical cancer identification by the proposed ELM-CSA outperforms 93.5% of accuracy, 88.7% of specificity,79.21% of precision,92.25% of recall and 79.26% of F-measure than the existing classifiers such as ELM, ENN-TLBO, SVM and RBFN

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 974-985
Need assessment is one of the important steps that should be conducted to be able to provide health care to patients with advance stage cancer because by understanding the needs of the patient, an appropriate and proper care can be provided. Inadequate efforts to\meet the needs of patients will affect their quality of life and their satisfaction towards health care. This descriptive study uses Needs Assessment for Advanced Cancer patients (NA-ACP) questionnaire to describe the patient needs based on seven main need domains of advanced cancer patients as well as several additional needs. The results of this study show that the three most needed domains (100%) by advanced cancer patients are medical information and communication, psychological/emotional support and other needs. Meanwhile, the most frequently felt need, i.e. from moderate to high, (98%) is other needs. Based on those results, it is recommended that hospitals and health care workers should pay more attention to the advanced cancer patients, especially the need for medical information and communication, psychological/emotional needs, financial need, and other needs. To address the issue, training on communication can be provided to health care workers, health education can be given to patients through picture/video media, palliative care counseling unit and cancer support group can also be established. In addition, a clear information media on how to access financial support available for the patients should also be provided.

Data collection tools included demographic and midwifery questionnaire, childbirth experience questionnaire (CEQ) and midwifery care observation checklist. Data analysis was done using SPSS software (version 24) and descriptive and analytical tests such as Kolmogorov-Smirnov for assessment of normal data distribution and multiple linear regression test were applied. Significance level in the tests was considered less than 0.05.The overall mean score of childbirth experience was 71.85 ± 10.77 (score range of 22-88). Maternal satisfaction with the midwifery care, and the behavior of care providers were reported to be 67.13% and 75%, respectively. In 172 (92.97%) of cases, the backup midwife was present at the mother's bedside. On the other hand, the mean score of childbirth experience in the areas of “support of obstetric care providers”, especially back-up midwives (3.44 ± 0.53), and “own capacity” (3.12 ± 0.53) were higher and lower than other areas, orderly. As satisfaction with physiological childbirth was high, suggesting this type of midwifery care conveys great sense of security and satisfaction. This indicates that, the constant presence of midwifery staffs when women need them and minimal use of medical interventions, play an effective role in creating a positive experience of childbirth.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1062-1072
Many Indonesian families have limited access to a high quality of health care services and still practiced unhealthy behaviors. Therefore, the healthy Indonesia program with a family approach aims to increase the accessibility of people to health services by home visits. The study aimed to analyze the healthy family index and to identify the 12 healthy family indicators coverage in Nulle Village East Nusa Tenggara Provinces. It will become tools for health facilities to create intervention based on the indicators which are not implemented by families. A household survey method was used to collect the data from 777 families in Nulle Village. Data was collected by using Indonesia's healthy family Questionnaire. The Healthy family index then was then determined according to three categories namely; healthy family (>0,80); pre-healthy family (0,50-0,80), and unhealthy family (<0,50). The study indicated that 56,49% of families were categorized as pre healthy families, 28,05% were healthy families and unhealthy families accounted for 15,44%. The lowest healthy indicators coverage were hypertension patients who take regular medicine (19,84%), followed by severe mental disorder patients who got access to medication (20%), and only 30,58% couple of childbearing age participated in the family planning program. The majority of the family are categorized as pre healthy families, therefore it is highly recommended that Public health Nurses should be more active to promote the 12 healthy family indicators. The family should be well informed so that they can improve the family’s health quality.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1105-1116
This article examines the nosogeographic conditions of Bukhara region and the peculiarities and problems of public health. Bukhara region is located in the south-west of Uzbekistan, in the lower reaches of the Zarafshan River, and the main part of its territory consists of deserts. The influence of the desert plays a leading role in the nature of the region. Although there are differences in the nature of oases compared to desert areas, they have all the features of desert conditions. Extreme aridity and heat, as well as a lack of precipitation, have a direct impact on the health of the population. The unsuitability of drinking water content and high salinity of soils are also likely to cause various diseases. Representatives of flora and fauna, which are widespread in the region, have also adapted to these natural conditions. They can be conditionally divided into desert and oasis types. Some of the most common medicinal plants in the region can be used in medicine to make a variety of medicines. Due to the natural conditions of the region, there is an opportunity to build health facilities in the region for the treatment of certain diseases, including kidney, musculoskeletal and other diseases.

An Eradication of Malicious node Attack using a Priority Aware Frequency Domain Polling in Cyber Physical Systems
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1134-1147
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is a modern generation of intelligent systems with the integrated computational performance and physical capacities. The CPS is affected by the malicious attacks due to the growth of system complexity and system openness. Therefore, an efficient data transmission method is developed to improve the CPS performances. In this paper, the Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based transmission device is used in the CPS to achieve the high data rate requirement of modern communications. The Priority Aware Frequency Domain Polling (PAFDP) protocol is proposed to detect the desired node from the group of nodes based on the priority value. Here, the priority is identified by using the throughput and data rate. Moreover, the malicious nodes existing in the network are identified and avoided to minimize the packet loss in the network. The performances of the PAFDP-OFDM-CPS are analysed in terms of packet delivery rate, packet loss ratio, throughput and overhead. The PAFDP-OFDM-CPS method is evaluated by using three existing methods such as Trust Aware Wireless Routing Protocol (TAWP), Trust Aware Routing Framework (TARF) and Adaptive Duty Cycle Control Based Opportunistic Routing (ADCCOR) protocol. It was found that the PDR of the PAFDP-OFDM-CPS is 99.4% for 5
malicious nodes high compared to the TAWP and TARF protocol.

FEATURES OF VIOLATIONS OF THE DIASTOLIC FUNCTION OF THE LEFT VENTRICLE IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE, DEPENDING ON THE CLINICAL COURSE OF THE DISEASE
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1169-1179
The aim of our study was to study the features of impaired left ventricular diastolic function in patients with chronic heart failure, depending on the clinical course of the disease. A total of 131 patients with CHF of ischemic origin with I, II and III FC CHF (men aged 38-60 years, mean age 54.51 ± 6.89 years) were examined. Patients with FC I were 31 (23.7%) patients, with FC II - 51 (38.9%) and FC III - 49 (37.4%) patients. The structural
and functional state of the myocardium and the process of LV remodeling were assessed by echocardiography with Doppler ultrasonography. EchoCG was performed on the device "MEDISON ACCUVIX V20" (South Korea), using a 3.25 MHz transducer in standard echocardiographic positions, transthoracic method in accordance with the recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE). In patients with CHF, diastolic function disorders were identified in 74.8% of cases: grade I (impaired relaxation) was recorded in 38.9% (51 patients), grade II - (pseudonormal) in 21.4% (28), type III (reversible restrictive) - in 14.5% (19) patients. An analysis of the grades of diastolic dysfunction showed the predominance of relaxation disorders in 52% of patients and an increase in the number of patients with restrictive type of diastolic dysfunction with an increase in CHF FC. Thus, in 74.8% of CHF patients, impaired LV diastolic function was observed, characterized by its deterioration with the progression of the disease. At the same time, impaired LV diastolic function was characterized to a greater extent by impaired relaxation, and with the progression of the disease, a restrictive type of LVDD impairment.
VEGF-A, VEGFR-2 and MVD in brain tumor tissue
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1180-1187
Neoangiogenesis plays a crucial role in tumor development. The method that is most commonly recommended for assessing this process is determining the so-called microvessel density (MVD) in the tissue sample. In relation to tumors of the central nervous system, it seems that VEGF-A along with its receptor VEGFR-2 are the most significant factors, and the important role of both of them is connected with their increased expression in tumor tissue. The study concerned 48 adult patients of both genders, treated surgically for newly diagnosed solid brain tumors andconsisted of histological assessment of the material gained from the surgically removed brain tumor. The highest level of VEGF in tumor tissue was observed in gliomas – mostly HGG - 12.61 (N = 23, p = 0.000059). As for VEGFR-2 in tumor tissue, the highest average level was characteristic for metastatic tumors - 13.67 (N = 6, p = 0.037) and it was slightly lower in HGG - 12.2 (N = 23, p = 0.037). The average MVD in tumor tissue was the highest in HGG - 20.13 (N = 23, p = 0.047) and other tumors - 18.33 (N = 3, p = 0.047). The remaining types of tumors in the studied group had similar microvessel density – from 13.67 to 14.71.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1188-1194
In Panchakarma, Nasya plays an important role in treating various diseases affecting Urdhwajatru (the part of the body above the shoulders) and the Central Nervous System. Human beings are considered to be in the form of Urdhvamulam Adhaha-shaka where proper irrigation of the Moola (root) will sustain the Sakhas (branches) in a healthy manner. There are different types of Nasya being described in this context. Nasapana is one such related procedure in which the medicines are introduced through the nasal pathway. Not many references are available in classics as well as contemporary literature regarding the same. In the absence of such references, following a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is required to demonstrate and replicate its safety cum efficacy. An observational study was done on 50 patients suffering from various diseases treated with a SOP developed on Nasapana. The dose, methods, sign and symptoms of Nasapana, complications and suitability of the same were studied in detail. Data related to patient, disease condition etc. were collected and observed for the safe execution of the procedure. Not a single case of complication was noted, but, in all patients the severity of disease got significantly reduced. It can be concluded that this SOP may be followed for doing Nasapana procedure.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1195-1211
Numerous scales have been developed and used for measuring social interaction anxiety among students and educational professionals. Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) is one such important measure that has been widely used around the world. However, little is known about its testing in Pakistani context. The present study examined the psychometric features and theoretical structure of the SIAS in Pakistani higher education context. Data were collected from 291 students from three public sector universities of Khyber Pakhtunkwa. The validation was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed to identify the factor structure and the underlying dimensions in the scale. Based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) a four factor model emerged consisting of 20 items. In the second phase, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed to evaluate the four-factor hypothetical model based on Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that SIAS is a valid and reliablescale. The findings of the present study supported the multidimensionality of the scale. The model indicated an excellent model fit for the 20 items scale that can be used for measuring social interaction anxiety among students in higher education. The limitations of the study along with conclusion and recommendations are provided for future research.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1233-1247
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common congenital defects, present at birth, it can affect the walls, valves or the great vessels of the heart. CHD considered to be among the most common malformations in newborn infants with an incidence of 8 out of 1000 live births worldwide. Children with congenital disease certainly need special health care. Healthy teeth and gums are important for everyone, especially for children with heart conditions. Providing children with dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular during the increased social restrictions, can be a challenging task. The purpose of writing this systematic review is to examine about oral health condition and dental care in children with congenital heart disease during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data source of Pubmed, published from 2011-2021. After eliminating duplicated articles, the titles and abstracts of each article were analyzed across 119 articles resulting in 86 articles being excluded. The full-text articles in the remaining 33 articles were re-analyzed and excluded 23 articles and produced 10 articles which were then entered into the analysis. Based on this systematic review shows that children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have poor oral health. Education and disease awareness about and prevention of dental illnesses have to be guided and steered by the parents. The role of dentists and pediatricians is very important in this case. Providing children with dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular during the increased social restrictions, can be a challenging task.

Background: The most common deformity of the knee in children is infantile genovarum. We aimed to evaluate the outcome of children with genu varum after proximal tibial dome shaped osteotomy. Patients and methods: a prospective case study was conducted on 12 patients with Persistent physiological infantile genu varum and underwent Dome-Shaped Proximal Tibial Osteotomy. During follow up period, the angle formed by the femoral condyle and the tibial shaft determined by a line drawn parallel to the inferior surface of the femoral condyle intersecting the anatomical axis of the tibia (femoral condyle-tibial shaft angle), normally about 90°, used for assessment of correction in plain X ray to the knee and tibia to avoid need for full length radiograph. All cases were evaluated pre and post-operatively according to Modified Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Scoring System Results: 10 (83.3%) knees had full correction of deformity while 1 knee (8.3%) had under correction and 1 knee (8.3%) showed over-correction of deformity. The mean pre-operative HSSKS scores were 70.16±11.3 while the mean post-operative HSSKS scores were 91.4±2.1. The subjects HSSKS results were improved from pre to post-operatively with a statistically significant difference between them. Conclusion: Dome-Shaped Proximal Tibial Osteotomy is associated with good outcome and the reasonable stability arising from the anteroposterior orientation of the osteotomy and greater surface area for early union, and early weight bearing and active knee exercise indicate a good safety profile and it should be recommended to correct Infantile Genu Varum
IRAQI HIGHER EDUCATION DIGITIZING TRAIL DURING COVID19 PANDEMIC
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1321-1332
The study explains in depth how the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education rescues and successfully completes the academic year 2019-2020 in very difficult and complicated circumstances. 101 Iraqi higher education institutions, with nearly 50,000 academics and more than 811,000 students.All started running, teaching, and learning unexpectedly. In less than a week, the ministry and its executives and special ministerial ICT workers will never stop returning life to the ministry of higher education institutions and raising the address of our universities, and we will return our universities and learning institutions to operate from our homes and have never stopped learning.Universities may not have true and strong infrastructure in Iraq, but we work and fully invest in what we have. After meeting the criteria for academic year expectations and reviewing what has been accomplished, a decision was made to complete it via e-exams of student accomplishments. The condition of the health society led the ministry to this decision because it was difficult to return the universities to its ordinary works to do the exams. Unique e-exams have been conceived and will begin to be carried out with postgraduate students from 14
June 2020, following the training of all 101 institutional review committees on e-exams and their procedures and mechanisms. The results obtained show us very clearly that the Ministry of Higher Education is saving the 2019-2020 academic year with a high degree of standards.For the next year 2020-2021, the ministry agreed to benefit from what has been accomplished and prepared a roadmap to improve learning productivity to implement blended learning with micro face-to-face learning. With the introduction of e-learning and lifelong learning, Iraqi society has taken a very large move towards information society.
Renal Protective Effect Of Vitamin D3 In Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Infarction In Rats
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1341-1357
Acute kidney injury is a common complication of myocardial infarction (MI) and scarce data were available on the effect of vitamin D3 on heart and kidney functions in MI. In this study, we investigated the potential protective effect of vitamin D3 on cardiorenal functions in isoproterenol-induced MI in rats and the possible mechanisms involved. It was shown that in MI rats, there was a significant increase in serum levels of (creatine kinase myoglobin binding, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, malondialdehyde, interlukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha) and urine levels of (total protein and albumin), with a significant decrease in urine creatinine level, creatinine clearance and serum levels of [reduced glutathione and 1, 25 dihydroxy vitamin D] in comparison with
the control rats. On treatment of rats with vitamin D3 prior to induction of MI, thesebchanges were significantly improved in comparison with the MI rats. Histopathologicalband immunohistochemical examinations of heart and kidney in MI rats reflected the deterioration in their structures with presence of marked apoptosis which were ameliorated on treatment of rats with vitamin D3 prior to induction of MI. In conclusion, vitamin D has a protective effect on heart and kidney functions in the rat model of myocardial infarction and this beneficial effect could be related to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptoticactions.
A Broad Review On Arginine And Its Application In Dentistry
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1358-1367
Global data suggest Dental caries is a dysbiotic, biofilm-mediated disease imparting serious health problems impacting almost half the world population. An ecological equilibrium of microbes is crucial for maintaining the human biofilm in a healthy state. One way to restore this homeostasis is to equilibrate the acidity and alkalinity processes to maintain a neutral pH. Physiological factors that can countervail the acidification of biofilms mainly include the buffering capacity of saliva and the metabolism of salivary substrates, such as urea and arginine, which generates alkali in the form of ammonia. Hence, there has been an increasing interest in therapeutic interventions that modulate the microbiome of biofilms to reinstate this balance. The current scenario focuses on approaches using either antimicrobial strategies or to augment the growth of health-promoting bacteria. Here we review, the knowledge gained from laboratory and clinical studies that support a remarkable role of arginine metabolism in the ecological balance of supragingival biofilms, inhibition of caries, and also report its promising clinical applications in dentistry. The major points are the following: 1. the significance of arginine and its associated mechanism of action. 2. Potential of arginine to promote remineralization and decrease dentinal hypersensitivity. 3. To Provide oral health professionals with recommendations for using arginine in clinical practice
PREDICTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF RENAL DYSFUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1368-1374
Purpose. To identify prognostic factors for the development of renal dysfunction (RD) and to develop a method for
assessing and predicting RD in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
Methods. A total of 101 patients with functional class I-III (FC) CHF (according to the classification of the New
York Heart Association) were examined. Also, the patients were divided, depending on the glomerular filtration
rate, determined by the calculation method according to the CKD-EPI formula (eGFR), into two groups: patients
with eGFR≥90 ml / min (n = 20), with eGFR <90 ml / min (n = 81). All patients were determined: creatinine (Cr),
eGFR according to the CKD-EPI formula, albumin / creatinine (Al / Cr) level (mg / mmol) in morning urine,
specific gravity in morning urine portion (SG); studied renal blood flow according to Doppler sonography at the
level of the common left and right renal arteries. To assess the significance of signs for determining and predicting
RD in CHF, we used a method based on Wald's sequential statistical analysis with the development of differential
diagnostic tables, determination of diagnostic coefficients (DC) and information content (J) of each sign in groups of
patients with CHF, depending on the level eGFR, determination of diagnostic thresholds (amount of DC).
Results. As a result of the developed differential diagnostic tables, the most informative signs were identified that
determine the unfavorable prognosis of RD in patients with CHF: creatinine above 80 μmol / l, eGFR less than 90
ml / min, Al / Cr ratio in morning urine more than 3.4 mg / mmol, urine specific gravity SG less than 1015,
resistance index (RI) at the level of the right and left renal arteries more than 0.7. The sum of DCs of these signs,
depending on the severity of symptoms, determines the risk of developing RD: a very high risk in the range from
+15 to +32, high risk - from +8 to +14, moderate risk - from +7 to +3, favorable course of CHF - from 0 to +2
points.
Conclusion. Signs of an unfavorable prognosis for the development of RD in patients with CHF were determined:
creatinine above 80 μmol / l, eGFR less than 90 ml / min, Al / Cr ratio in morning urine more than 3.4 mg / mmol, urine SG less than 1015, RI at the renal level arteries more than 0.7.

In the present paper, we introduced the four parameters generalized log-logistic distribution using quadrature rank transmutation map to develop a transmuted four parameters common log-logistic distributions. Also the function of reliability for the four generalized log-logistic distributions is obtained. The continuous case of pdf and cdf for four parameters common log-logistic distributions are traditional. We looked at 10 fit men and 10 old men at the base of cortisol levels when the mineralocorticoid receptor mostly regulates the activity of the HPA axis.. In case of ACTH and Cortisol, both values are were significantly higher in older men compared with young men after fludrocortisone. Lastly, we suggest that the implementation part fits with the probability distribution and the outcome is well linked with the medical report.. This paper will be very useful for medical field in future.

Until December 13, 2020, the total Covid-19 cases worldwide is 70,476,836 cases and counted 1,599,922 deaths globally since the start of the pandemic. The best medicine for Covid-19 has not been found yet, so this review intended to reveal potency of Liriodenine to overcome and help care for those affected. Liriodenine (C17H9NO3) along with Quinine and its derivate Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are include in the compound of nitrogen-containing group or alkaloid. The main mechanism of its activity of Liriodenine is DNA Topoisomerase I and II inhibitors that have cytotoxic effect on several human cell lines such as A549, NCI-H226, SPC-A-1, NPC-TW01, ECV2 and 7111, KB, HEp‑ 2, and against gram (+) and (-) bacteria. Review results showed that Topoisomerase Inhibitor posses dual activity that works on both DNA and RNA, so does Liriodenine predict may affect to RNA virus include SARS-CoV-2 strain or 2019-nCoV. The potency of Liriodenine as new agents for Covid-19 diseases is supported by its other activity antifungal, antiplasmodial (such as Plasmodium falciparum), antidiabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory (Immunomodulatory) activity. Plants-containing Liriodenine in the world is abundant, not limited to Annonaceae, Magnoliaceae, Lauraceae, Menispermaceae, and Rutaceae. So Liriodenine prospective for developing as herbal therapy or single
compound for Covid-19 diseases

WOMEN, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND THE ROLE OF THE INDIAN ELECTRONIC MEDIA
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1436-1452
Men and women have got equal status in India which is very much reflected in the Constitution of India. Especially women are considered as the wealth of our country who are leading the country and making all of us proud. However, there is still systematic discrimination prevailing in our society which leads to some kind of disregards such as lack of nutrition, low literacy rate, property rights, women trafficking, child labour and domestic violence etc. There are many fears which entangle the freedom of women too. Sexual violence is one of the most ruthless distress that encompasses fear in women. The hypothetical question is whether this condition is predominant due to any unequal distribution of powers among sexes? Media is the fourth pillar of our democracy hence, its coverage and reports are imperative for democracy. Media plays a significantly vital role to influence the masses. The new intrusion of digital media revolution further adds more clout to media. Regrettably, it has been witnessed that the role of media is decisively wavering from showing the real news and conveniently presenting biased and onesided information in the name of news. The Unequal portrayal of women in media is irony. The sensitization of gender issues is the need of the hour as it is an inevitable factor in women empowerment. This paper broadly focuses on these above aspects highlighting the contemporary issues on women and the role of media

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1453-1462
Неправильное и нерациональное использование противомикробных препаратов в ветеринарной практике приводит к быстрому формированию устойчивых к антибиотикам штаммов патогенных микроорганизмов, что снижает их роль как лечебно-профилактического средства. В то же время у микроорганизмов часто развивается множественная устойчивость, то есть устойчивость ко многим антибиотикам. Для выбора средств эффективной антимикробной терапии и профилактики важно определить чувствительность выделенных культур возбудителей к антимикробным препаратам. Чувствительность микроорганизмов к
антибиотикам необходимо определять в каждом случае заболевания животных

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1471-1484
In medical technology, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been used widely for detection of tumors and diagnosing various abnormalities in tissues. In scientific research, a major role has been played by the active development in the computerized segmentation of medical image. Based on fast decision making, the doctors can take required treatment easily. In the information technology, the segmentation of brain tumor is a key point. By
analysing the radiation therapy treatment, tumor growth, computer-based surgery, developing the growth models of tumor, and treatment responses, the segmentation of brain tumor is motivated. For segmentation of brain tumor, a deep learning-based framework is presented. To achieve the robust performance through a majority rule, deep learning based semantic segmentation architecture is used for segmentation of tumor that can improve the performance effectively
DIGITAL IMAGE FORGERY DETECTION USING SUPER PIXEL SEGMENTATION AND HYBRID FEATURE POINT MAPPING
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1485-1500
In recent years, digital images have a large variety of uses and for different purposes. The most significant and common form is called digital image forgery, which uses the same image in the forgery process, and we have many kinds of image forgeries. For creating a duplicate or hiding any existing objects, a region of an image copies and paste into the same image. For a forgery with particular form, the images are tested in this paper. Images will first be split into super pixels to detect the forgery attack. Because of the high dimensional existence of the feature space, the representation of reduced dimension feature vector is achieved with the implementation of hybrid function point mapping. During the feature matching, the efficiency is also improved. In order to identify the forgery in the picture, the suggested system is successful. The proposed method therefore offers a detecting forgery with efficiency and efficacy that helps to improve the image authenticity in evidence-centered applications.
Attribute based Encrypted and Secured Cloud based Personal Health Record System
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1501-1507
As cloud computing has become an incredibly important task in real life, security of privacy in many areas, in especially in the context of Personal Health Record (PHR), has indeed been given growing attention. The traditional encryption based on ciphertext policy (CP-ABE) allows you to control the scrambled PHR information policy in a fine-grained manner, however the accessing policy is also sent with the cipher text. The entry policy, however, cannot activate the anonymity of users, as it includes an excessively large number of confidential information from valid users of software. It is now important to ensure the privacy of users through hiding access strategies. The overwhelming majority of previous plans however have to deal with two problems: (1) certain plans do not accept a wide universe of the attributes, hence their common sense in PHR is considerably reduced and (2) the decryption costs are very high because the entry scheme is set up in cypher text. Their utility is thus drastically limited. To resolve these problems, we create a CP-ABE plot with proficient decryption, where both the scale of available parameters and the cost of decryption are steady. In addition, by using the dual system encoding technique, we demonstrate that the proposed conspire achieves full safety in the standard model.

The Sufferings of Dalit Women: A Subaltern Study of Bama’s Karukku
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1519-1523
The plight of Dalit women in the Indian society as depicted in karukku is sad and labeled with considerable gloom. They are oppressed on the basis of caste, gender as well as class. Karukku very significantly raises questions on caste and religious issues that damage our society. Bama’s fictional writings delineate several issues of violence on Dalit women, wife-beating, sexual harassment, loneliness, women abandoned by their husbands, ignorance, etc at their own homes within the community. In a larger outlook, her literary works portray the marginalisation and exploitation of Dalit women as well as the whole community at the hands of upper class society. They are socially and economically exploited by the upper castes people. Through this autobiographical novel, Bama attempts to reflect, especially her own sufferings both within and outside her community, the sufferings of Dalit women and the everyday social reality of her community. She tries to project the social reality of Dalit women who struggle every day for their survival. The present paper is on the basis of patriarchal rules in which women have to go through the rules made by the male members of a family or society. In that case, women are compelled to go through the tough roads made for them, they are segregated, separated and become as ‘other'. Because of the strict customs prevailing, they cannot speak of their own and finally become subalterns. This study reflects on the issues of women portrayed in the select text. It is highlighted in terms of class, caste and religion with proper lens of subaltern context.
Non-Surgical Endodontic Approach for Management of Periapical Lesions with 6 months follow up: A Case Series.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1524-1531
The success of root canal treatment depends on thorough disinfection of the root canal system, and to provide fluid impervious seal which in turn halt the progress of the periapical infection. The oral microorganisms from the degenerated pulp tissue are responsible directly or indirectly for most of the periapical lesions. For the treatment of these lesions there are surgical and non-surgical methods. Surgical removal of the periapical lesion without proper root canal disinfection and obturation will result in improper healing of lesions whereas in non-surgical root canal therapy the lesions heal if proper cleaning, shaping and obturation of root canal are done. This clinical case series highlights the follow-up results of three cases demonstrating the resolution of periapical lesion through nonsurgical approach and confirms that periapical lesions respond favorably to non-surgical treatment

THREE-DIMENSIONAL PERIOPERATIVE HIGH DOSE RATE INTERSTITIAL BRACHYTHERAPY IN SOFT TISSUE SARCOMA IN MODERN ERA
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1546-1555
Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are a typical group that differs from one of the tumours with distinct histopathological subtypes. It is estimated in 21% of all malignant diseases in children, and less than 1% of all adult malignancies [1] Adjuvant radiation is well-established for the conservative treatment of soft tissue
sarcomas. The National Cancer Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend that postoperative radiotherapy be administered to most patients with sarcomas of the soft tissues of the extremities and upper extremity. When only low-dose (LDR) brachytherapy (BT) is used, 45-Gy doses are used in patients with severe oedema. In cases where margins are positive, a combination of 50 Gy beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and 16-20 Gy of LDR brachytherapy or equivalent high-dose rate (HDR) is warranted. This range of radiation concentrations produces a five-year cell control rate of 75-90% [3 - 14]. LDR brachytherapy has been a frequently used method [15 - 23], and reports of high-dose (HDR) brachytherapy are very small in number [24 - 27]. However, HDR brachytherapy is widely used due to better compliance with radiation safety policies, more complex radiationplanning and the possibility of outpatient treatment.

Among the study population 6.4% were pre-hypertensive and 7.4% hypertensive with increased prevalence in girls. 9.8% were obese and 14.2% overweight. 14.3% obese and 11.3% overweight children had pre-hypertension. 30.6% obese and 9.9% overweight children had hypertension. Dietary analysis showed that normotensive children consumed lesser fructose (258mg), fat (12.8gm), sodium (89mg), and uric acid with more potassium (89mg), and fiber (10.2gm) per day as compared to the hypertensive children. Conclusions: There is high prevalence of asymptomatic hypertension among obese and over-weight school adolescents. Dietary differences were found between the hypertensive and normotensive adolescents with increased fat consumption showing statistical correlation with hypertension
BIOLOGICAL ROLE OF MICROELEMENTS AND THEIR CONTENT IN EPIDERMAL FORMATIONS
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1675-1686
It follows from the data studied that information on the content of chemical elements in animal hair, depending on the presence of melanin, should be related to the concentration of this pigment, before judging the effect of environmental factors on their content. For a long time it was assumed that, the entry of mineral substances into the hair occurs from the blood capillaries, which are supplied to the hair follicle bulbs and the epithelial layers of the skin. There have been attempts to establish a positive correlation between the content of mineral and organic substances in the blood. When comparing the reaction of blood plasma and rat hair to a change in the composition of food, it was found that plasma quickly responds to changes in the content of magnesium and calcium in the diet, slowly - to the content of phosphorus and does not react at all to changes in the level of sodium and calcium (this is explained by a clear homeostatic regulation of the content of these elements in the blood). At the same time, the hair reacts quickly to changes in sodium content, slowly to calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and very slowly to changes in potassium concentration.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1696-1707
The experiment was conducted to know the of micropropagation efficiency of Tr10, Vishala, M5 and G2 mulberry (Morus spp.) varieties using leaf and nodal explants. Regeneration and multiple shoot formation were achieved from the callus phase from four mulberry varieties via Tr10, Vishala, M5 and G2. MS medium fortified with different concentrations and combinations of growth hormones were used, such as alone 2, 4 D (0.5 mg/l - 2.5 mg/l) and in combination with BAP (0.5 mg/l and 1.0 mg/l) for callus initiation from leaf and nodal explants. Shoot buds developed from callus were transferred to the multiplication medium containing BAP (0.5 mg/l – 3.0 mg/l) and NAA (0.1 mg/l) combination of growth hormones. The micro shootlets were subcultured to obtain sufficient growth of the shoots. Then shootlets were transferred to the rooting media containing NAA and IBA (0.5 mg/l – 3.0 mg/l). The results indicate that explants inoculated in alone 2, 4 D has enhanced the callus formation percentage. The best callusing was observed from nodal explants in alone 2, 4 D at 2.0 mg/l concentration in most of the varieties. Whereas the leaf explants did not show any further regeneration and proliferation was ceased in callus phase

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1708-1717
Background: Exposure to wood dust reduces the pulmonary function and it may cause inflammation and oxidative damage. A correlation of the biochemical parameter to the spirometric values of lung function parameters may be useful in selecting an alternative test parameter to assess lung function in conditions where performing spirometry is difficult.
Objectives: Assessment of biomarker of oxidative stress, malondialdehyde (MDA), and inflammatory marker, c-reactive protein (CRP) along with pulmonary function test parameters, forced expiratory volume at first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and their ratio (FEV1/FVC) in sawmill workers and comparing with non sawmill workers.Correlation of biomarkers with pulmonary function test results.
Methods: Spirometric measurements were taken by advising the subjects to breathe through the instrument. Serum MDA and CRP were estimated in the collected blood using standard procedures.
Results: Significantly elevatedSerum MDA and CRP and lower lung function parameters, FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC were observed in sawmill workers compared to non sawmill workers. A significant positive correlation was observed between FVC and MDA with CRP. FEV1/FVC showed a significant negative correlation with MDA.
Conclusion: Serum MDA and CRP were high in sawmill workers. Serum MDA may be used as an indicator of reduced pulmonary function in case of difficulty in performing spirometry

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1781-1789
Chronic bacterial prostatitis is a persistent infection of the prostate characterized by frequent relapses due to incomplete eradication of the causative organisms, with a negative impact on patient’s quality of life. This study aimed to determine the most common bacterial causative agents and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis in Duhok, Kurdistan, northern Iraq. A standardMeares-Stamey four-glass test was performed for all males presenting with chronic prostatitis symptoms for more than 3 months. Men with high leukocyte counts and bacterial growth inexpressed prostatic secretion (EPS) and post-prostate massage urine (VB3) samples but negative first-voided (VB1) and midstream urine (VB2) samples were included in the study. The Phoenix system (Becton Dickinson) was used for bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.Staphylococcus spp. were the most prevalent microorganisms in patients with chronic prostatitis (60.8%), followed by Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp. (13.7%).Most patients with chronic prostatitis who were diagnosed with Staphylococcus spp. exhibited high resistance tobenzylpenicillin (75.0%), oxacillin (60.5%), and ampicillin (59.0%). Patients diagnosed with Enterococcus spp. showed high resistance to quinupristin-dalfopristin(20.0%), cefoxitin screen (15.7%), clindamycin (16.9%), tetracycline (16.9%), and rifampicin (17.1%). Among those diagnosed with Streptococcus spp., most had resistance to oxacillin (7.4%), tobramycin (8.0%), erythromycin (8.4%), clindamycin (8.4%), tetracycline (8.4%), and mupirocin (12.1%).The patients with E. coli had resistance to extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)(45.5%) and cefepime (25.0%). In summary, we found that the most prevalent pathogens from patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis are E. coli, Enterococcus spp., and Staphylococcus aureus. Gram-positive isolates showed the highest resistance to benzylpenicillin, fosfomycin, ampicillin, tetracycline, rifampicin, and mupirocin. Moreover, gram-negative bacteria were most resistant to ESBL, cefepime, and ampicillin-sulbactam. To manage this condition, physicians should take into consideration the development of multi-drug resistance among the pathogenic agents.

Of 45 symptomatic patients, 29 of them (64.44%) were known to have monocytes> 7. Of 17 confirmed positive patients who shown unilateral and bilateral infiltrate, 13 of them had an increase in monocyte count, 1 patient(100%), and 12 (26,67%) patients, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS From the data, we conclude that simple laboratory result parameters such as lymphocyte, sedimentation rate, particularly monocyte, help to establish the diagnosis of COVID-19.
This is based on increasing monocyte in mostly all confirmed COVID-19 patients involved in this study.
Cholecystectomy and ERCP in management of gall stone disease in children: a five-year single-centre experience from eastern India
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1813-1819
Background: Gall stone disease (GSD) being rare in children needs particular attention. Gallstones, when associated with bile duct stones, require ERCP and clearance of bile ducts. The safety and periprocedural course of ERCP and cholecystectomy in children with gall stone disease along with choledocholithiasis have sparingly been studied previously. Material and methods: We did a retrospective analysis of the data retrieved from electronic healthcare records. This data comprised demographic, laboratory, details of ERCP, cholecystectomy and periprocedural course of the patients. Results: In our centre, 43 children underwent cholecystectomy from April 2015 to May 2020. Open cholecystectomy (OC) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) were performed in two and forty-one children. All patients were symptomatic at the time of presentation, recurrent biliary colic being the most common symptom. Among the 43 children, four children and seven children were obese and overweight,
respectively. The only significant risk factor accountable for gall stone disease was obesity. Preoperative ERCP was required in 7 patients; among them, 2 had cholangitis. No significant complications noted in any of the children who underwent ERCP. Conclusion: ERCP is a safe therapeutic tool for choledocholithiasis in children, as it is in adults. ERCP followed by cholecystectomy in children is the most common technique for addressing combined gall bladder and bile duct stones. Cholecystectomy is useful in children with typical biliary symptoms. The only significant risk factor for GSD in our patients was obesity
BCR-ABL type of mutation and hematology response to imatinib mesylate in chronic phase CML patient: a retrospective study in a tertiary referral hospital in Indonesia
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1820-1830
Background: The BCR-ABL mutation types were reported influencing the treatment of
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) due to different responses to the use of tyrosine
kinase inhibitor. However, the clinical score system, that is, EUTOS score is also
considered as one essential factor in determining the treatment outcome. This study aims at
observing the hematology response among chronic phase CML patients atSardjito Hospital
Yogyakarta, Indonesia based on BCR-ABLmutation types, namely b3a2 and non-b3a2,
with evaluation of EUTOS scores.
Methods: A retrospective cohort of 72 subjects from January 2013 to November 2018 was
analyzed according to mutation types and EUTOS scores to observe the hematological
response within 6 months after initiation of Imatinib therapy.
Results: Forty-eight subjects (66.7%) had b3a2 mutations, while others had non-b3a2
mutations. The median of spleen size was significantly higher in non-b3a2 mutations (p =
0.024). Only 49 subjects (68%) achieved the complete hematological response (CHR) within
6 months. The non-b3a2 mutation subjects were likely to have worse clinical and laboratory
profiles than the b3a2 mutation subjects did (p > 0.05). The b3a2 mutation subjects tended
toachieve earlier CHR than non-b3a2 mutation subjects (HR 1.031; p = 0.919). The latter
subjects with high EUTOS scores had longer time to achieve the CHR (p = 0.781).

Conclusion. Recommended livestock farms are to be regarded as ecosystems, artificially created by man. In them, there are special relationships between animals, protozoa, a diverse microflora, which are fundamentally different from those in vivo. In artificial biocenoses, the Association of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms that circulate in the economy can cause various diseases in farm animals.
Correction OfEnergy Deficiency Condition In Calves With Prenatal Hypotrophy
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1878-1889
The body of calves has high lability, the formation of its resistance and adaptive abilities are most expedient in the early stages of ontogenesis, but if the feeding, care, and maintenance conditions do not meet the requirements of the organism, animals are forced to adapt to these conditions, primarily due to increased energy costs. At the same time, the processes of all links of the metabolism are disturbed and the resistance to diseases decreases. The article presents the classification of antenatal hypotrophy of calves based on the criteria for assessing the state of clinical and zootechnical status and changes in the morphological and biochemical parameters of the blood of sick animals. A method for correcting the energy status of newborn calves with prenatal hypotrophy using carnitine chloride is described. Antenatal malnutrition is the pathology of the fetus, manifested by a violation of its development and arising as a pathophysiological reaction to an inadequate supply of the fetus with oxygen, nutritional and biologically active substances, or in violation of their digestibility. A comparative study of the effectiveness of the correction of metabolic disorders in calves with postnatal hypotrophy with a 10% solution of the transmitochondrial fatty acid transporter carnitine chloride at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day was carried out. The material for the study was the Holstein-Friesian calves from birth to 14 days. All calves were similar in age, body weight and were in the same conditions of housing, feeding, and care. Calves with signs of prenatal malnutrition were divided into 2 groups: experimental and control 6 animals each. The use of a 10% solution of carnitine chloride in hypotrophic calves restores the level of glucose, the main source of energy in the body, and inorganic phosphorus used for various phosphorylation processes to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP), stabilizes anabolic, transport, and catabolic processes, which together alleviate the condition of the newborn's body young with malnutrition. The recommended therapeutic approach leads to the stabilization of the energy-deficient state by optimizing the hemorrhological composition of the blood, the glucose content of the basic energy source in the body, and inorganic phosphorus used for various phosphorylation processes, reducing stress in the anaerobic metabolism system and forming reserve macroergic substrates. The implemented therapeutic measures allow, in the body of calves-hypotrophic, to restore nutritional status.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1913-1927
The Indian Telecom Industry has always been a pivotal part in growth and advancement of India. It played an important role in digitization of systems and processes across several economically important sectors. India is currently in terms of subscribers count which currently stand at 1.18 billion. Majority of this are wireless or mobile users. In recent years telecom sector has expanded rapidly and demand for better network connection and speed along with data consumption has increased rapidly. But does this growth really turning into fortune for the telecom companies or not. What are the adverse effects of such high competition in the telecom sector on the fiscalwell-being of the companies? In the context with this,current paper focuses on analysing the financial performance of four companies of telecom trade for the duration of 10 years from 2011-12 to 2019-20. It analyses the fiscal well-being of concerned units on the base of some selected fiscal variables portraying four diverse fiscal parameters that areleverage, liquidity, managerial efficiency andprofitabilityof the concerned units. Current paper also seeks to examine if the financial well-being of diverseunits is comparableamong them or a significant difference exist in between them also.
Renal Protective Effect of Vitamin D3 in Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Infarction in Rats.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1928-1944
Acute kidney injury is a common complication of myocardial infarction (MI) and
scarce data were available on the effect of vitamin D3 on heart and kidney functions in MI. In
this study, we investigated the potential protective effect of vitamin D3 on cardiorenal
functions in isoproterenol-induced MI in rats and the possible mechanisms involved. It was
shown that in MI rats, there was a significant increase in serum levels of (creatine kinase
myoglobin binding, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, malondialdehyde, interlukin-6 and
tumor necrosis factor alpha) and urine levels of (total protein and albumin), with a significant
decrease in urine creatinine level, creatinine clearance and serum levels of [reduced
glutathione and 1, 25 dihydroxy vitamin D] in comparison with the control rats. On treatment
of rats with vitamin D3 prior to induction of MI, these changes were significantly improved in
comparison with the MI rats. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations of
heart and kidney in MI rats reflected the deterioration in their structures with presence of
marked apoptosis which were ameliorated on treatment of rats with vitamin D3 prior to
induction of MI. In conclusion, vitamin D3 has a protective effect on heart and kidney
functions in the rat model of myocardial infarction and this beneficial effect could be related
to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptoticactions

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1945-1950
The aim of the study was to identify and evaluate abnormalities in the exchange of immunological, macro and microelements, as well as to develop methods for their correction in the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia in children. The microelement composition of the blood of healthy children and patients with out-of-hospital and nosocomial pneumonia was studied by neutron activation analysis. The data obtained show that withnosocomial pneumonia, the violation of the trace element status is more pronounced in comparison with healthy children. The developed 3-step method of treatment with the use of an immunomodulatory drug and vitamin-mineral complex Vitrum kids, based on the basic therapy, improves the healing process and normalizes the microelement status of children.
Molecular Targeting of Breast Cancer Stem Cells: A Promising Strategy For Management And Eradication.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1951-1963
In spite of developments in breast tumors management therapeutic approaches, relapsing, metastasis and resistant 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.
RETROSPECTIVE EVALUATION OF CORRELATION OF POST EXTRACTION HEMORRHAGE AND ANTI COAGULANT THERAPIES IN YOUNGER POPULATION: A PREVALENCE BASED CLINICAL STUDY
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1964-1972
Background and Aim: Post operative bleeding is very common post operative complication seen in extraction cases. Anti coagulant therapies are employed to manage several clinical conditions. Patients those who are already on anti coagulant therapy, can show different patterns of post extraction hemorrhage. Anti coagulant makes blood flow via veins more easily. So, blood will be less likely to make a dangerous blood clot (like thrombosis or embolism). The sole endeavor of present study was to evaluate the correlation of post extraction hemorrhage and anti coagulant therapies in younger population. This study was retrospectively performed to assess the related prevalence also in the studied population. Materials & Methods: Patients case history, follow up case sheet and discharge summaries were explored. Younger age group patients those had undergone single tooth atraumatic extraction for different reasons, were selected for study. Patients who reported to be on anticoagulant therapy for more than one year, were studied in group one. Patients who reported to be on anticoagulant therapy for six to twelve months, were segregated in group two. Patients who reported to be on anticoagulant therapy for less than six months, were studied in group three. Patients not receiving this therapy were served as control group or group four. Post operative bleeding was studied under five categories in each group. These were mild, moderate, severe, uncategorized and no bleeding. Statistical Analysis and Results: Statistical analysis was done by statistical software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). P ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Total 84 male and 36 female patients were studied in this study. Therefore, majority of the studied patients were male. In group I, 9 out of 30 patients had no bleeding. However, 8 patients showed severe post operative bleeding. 5 patients showed only mild bleeding. In this group (group I), P value was significant for all five severities of bleeding. In group IV, 23 patients had no post operative bleeding. Nevertheless, only 1 patient showed severe post operative bleeding. Only 1 patient showed mild bleeding. In this group (group IV), P value was significant for patients with no post operative bleeding (0.03). Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, authors concluded that anti coagulant therapies are significantly affecting post operative bleeding in extraction cases. The relative severity and prevalence of bleeding are also exaggerated by time period of anti coagulant therapy. Patients those who were on anti coagulant therapy for more than one year, showed maximum prevalence and severity of bleeding.
Endotracheal intubation in Cleft surgeries: A Comparison between Macintosh Laryngoscope and McGrath Mac Videolaryngoscope
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1974-1981
Background: In recent anaesthesia practice, videolaryngoscopy is gradually replacing conventional Macintosh laryngoscopy in adult and paediatric patients particularly in difficult intubation scenario. In this study, we compared McGrath Mac videolaryngoscope and conventional Macintosh laryngoscope for laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in cleft lip and palate surgeries.
Aim: To compare and assess the ease of placement of endotracheal tube in cleft lip and palate surgeries using McGrath Mac videolaryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope. Methods: Sixty children less than 5 years of age, belonging to ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) I and II category, who were posted for cleft lip and palate repair were included in the study. They were randomly divided into two groups of 30 each. In group I, Macintosh laryngoscope was used for laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation and in Group II, McGrath Mac videolaryngoscope was used. Parameters like range of visibility of vocal cords (Cormack Lehane in Group I vs Fremantle score in Group II), requirement of external laryngeal manipulation (ELM), time taken for intubation and haemodynamic changes were assessed.Results: The time taken for endotracheal intubation was significantly higher in Group II (20.10±2.83s in Group I vs 24.57±3.52s in Group II, p<0.001). Requirement of ELM was significantly higher in Group I (24/30 vs 2/30, p < 0.001). The heart rates recorded at 1 min, 3 mins and 5 mins of laryngoscopy were significantly higher in Group I (139.7±12.06, 128.47±9.1, 119.37±8.96 vs 125.90±12.24, 120.00±8.35 and 113.03±9.76 in Group II respectively). Cormack Lehane gradings were comparable in both the groups. Conclusion: Laryngoscopy with McGrath VL significantly prolongs intubation time compared to conventional Macintosh laryngoscope in cleft lip and palate surgeries. The requirement for external laryngeal manipulation was less with McGrath VL and also less tachycardia was observed with McGrath VL than Macintosh laryngoscope.
DO WE SEE NATURAL Wolbachia IN FIELD-CAPTURED MOSQUITOS IN BANDUNG?
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1989-1997
A new alternative in controlling mosquitos, the arbovirus vectors, has emerged in recent years and commonly called Wolbachia method. Currently, a large trial is still running since 2017 in Indonesia to assess the efficacy of Wolbachiainfected mosquito deployment in reducing dengue incidence in Yogyakarta. Awaiting the trial result before implementing the same method in Bandung, however we could not find any reports on the distribution of natural Wolbachia in urban mosquitos from Indonesia, especially for Culex sp and Aedes sp of Bandung. Therefore, field surveys were conducted at four locations (3 subdistricts) from Bandung City and its surrounding area to screen for the natural mosquito infection status of Wolbachia by PCR and sequencing method. We
found that 83.3% of Bandung-captured Cx. quinquefasciatus were female, and 88.2% of those female were naturally infected with Wolbachia. The infection rate was lower for the male Culex, bringing down the total infection rate of Cx. quinquefasciatus to be around half of the captured mosquitos. However, the results from both female Ae. Aegypti of different locations revealed baffling very weak bands on the agarose gel. As for the infection status of Bandung’s captured Ae. aegypti, it is worth to wait for our further results as well as reports
from other studies. And thus, we opted to keep the inconclusive status of Wolbachia infection in Ae. aegypti from Bandung City
Effect of Bacteriophage and Sub-inhibitory concentration of Imipenemon Biofilm Production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa on Endotracheal tubing - An in-vitro model system
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 1998-2008
Aim: To studybiofilm production by Pseudomonas aeruginosaon endotracheal tubing in the presence of bacteriophage and sub-inhibitory concentration of imipenem.Methods and Results: A total of 20 clinical isolates of P.aeruginosa obtained from endotracheal samples were taken for this study. Bacteriophages were obtained from sewage samples from sewage water treatment plant. Biofilm assay was performed by modified O’Toole and Kolter method wherein a piece of sterile 0.5cm2 ETTwas incorporated into the microtitre plate wells. Student’s unpaired t test, Kruskal Wallis, ANOVA and HSD Tukey’s test were used to analyse data with SPSS 17.0 software. P value of ˂0.05 was considered statistically significant.Of the 20 isolates, only four (20%) of the isolates were resistant to imipenem. In the presence of bacteriophage, the biofilm production was very less in comparison to biofilm production in the presence of sub-inhibitory concentration of imipenem or in plain broth (p = 0.004). Conclusions: Bacteriophages effectively reduced the biofilm production by P. aeruginosa on catheter tip. Significance and Impact:The present study demonstrates the effectiveness of using bacteriophage as a biofilm reducing agent. Further studies are required to prove the use of bacteriophage coated ETT to curb hospital acquired infections

Mosquitoes even though small in size are the deadliest insects causing millions of deaths every year. Mosquitoes are able to spread variety of diseases, among which common are Malaria, Dengue, ChikunGunya etc.1 More than 3000 different species of mosquitoes are identified in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, but only a few are known to act as vectors of diseases to the human beings.2Aedes Egypti is responsible for many of the mosquito-borne diseases and this species exist in the areas where more than 50% of world’s population lives.
CHANGING SCENARIO IN ORAL PATHOLOGY
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2016-2024
This review article covers the current research areas in oral pathology and reflects the broad range that encompasses the development and application of software in digital histopathology, implementation of biomarkers in pathology, genetics and epigenetics. Molecular pathology, regenerative medicine and immuno therapy, holds the promising and optimistic future of pathology. Oral and maxillofacial pathology is standing at the forefront of the revolution and new diagnostic tools and knowledge are taking pathologists into broader roles of research and correlating diagnoses for clinicians. While we are still using the same method and material that has been using for the past 100years, it’s time to change. Digital technologies could push the field into becoming more efficient and more scalable. Utilizing high-throughput, automated digital pathology scanners, it is possible to capture an entire glass slide, under bright field or fluorescent conditions, at a magnification comparable to a microscope. Digital slides can be shared over networks using specialized digital pathology software applications. The future of digital pathology could eventually encompass enhancedtranslational research, computer aided diagnosis (CAD) and personalized medicine.
The Effect of Arm Exercises on The Prevention of Lymphedema in Post- Mastectomy Breast Cancer Patients at Haji Adam Malik Medan Hospital
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2025-2028
Breast cancer is a malignant neoplasm, an abnormal growth of breast tissue that does not see the surrounding tissue, grows infiltrative and destructive, and can metastasize. Every breast cancer patient experiences side effects from various treatment treatments. This is because the therapy that each patient gets varies and also that cancer sufferers have different genetic backgrounds and different environments. Mastectomy in breast cancer patients can cause many patients to suffer from decreased joint mobility, lymphedema, and limitation in daily activities. These complaints can be overcome with arm exercises. Arm exercises are done to improve circulation and muscle strength and to prevent joint stiffness, preventing lymphedema from occurring. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of arm exercises on lymphedema prevention by looking at the value of arm measurements before the intervention and after intervention in the intervention and control groups. The research design was a quasi-experimental study with a total sample size of 32 respondents per group so that the total sample was 64 respondents. The research results were based on the t-test. The independently obtained p=0.001, namely p <0.005, which means that there was a significant effect of the arm measurement value on post-mastectomy breast cancer. It is hoped that this study can be used as education for post-mastectomy patients to improve the lymph flow so that lymph flow obstruction does not occur.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2047-2052
The main aim of this paper is to know whether the temperature have any impact on the increase of corona virus. Covid-19, this name has brought a drastic change in our day-to-day life. People of Telangana have lived through 10 months of the Covid-19 pandemic and there might be more to come. Till date 2.8lakh official cases of covid-19 have been registered in Telangana and there may be many more which have gone unnoticed. In our busy life, we are neglecting our health and no one is maintaining a proper hygiene. And we have been more addicted to junk foods rather than nutrition, because of this reason covid-19 became a threat to our life. So proper precautions and awareness must be spread among people to avoid spread of virus. Fever, cough, breathing problems etc are the
symptoms of this covid-19. If we neglect these symptoms it leads to a severe problem like pneumonia, kidney failure and eventually leads to death of that person. At this moment we don’t have any vaccine to cure this disease, the only prevention or avoiding corona is to boost our immune system. To overcome this pandemic situation, firstly we need to know the important factors that increases in covid-19 cases. In this paper, machine learning techniques are used to identify how temperature varies with the increase of covid-19. Which means we find how the effect of temperature depends on the number of covid-19 cases in Telangana

A REVIEW ARTICLE ON CRYPTOGRAPHY USING FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING:HASKELL
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2098-2110
A modern wave of programming technology has been at the frontline of functional languages, experiencing growing success as well as impact. Hughes published an article entitled 'Why Functional Programming Matters', that has now been one of the most recent references in the field.Safe programming defines the method used by software engineers to include multiple safety mechanism for their system.Secure programming can be broken down into two subgroups to analyse its correlation with software design: access control, secure programme initialization, input validation, cryptography, secure networking, secure random number generation, and anti-tampering. In this paper we provide a review of various functional programming in Haskell for encryption. The inkling of functional programming is to make programming more closely related to mathematics. We describe crucial features and trade-offs that has to be well-thought-out while selecting the right method for secure computation

Biofilm Formation And Quorum Sensing lasRGene Of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated From Patients With Post-Operative Wound Infections
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2177-2189
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.aeruginosa) is one of the most commonbacteria capable of forming biofilms which are important in the establishment of P. aeruginosa infections on different host tissues includingpostoperative wounds. P. aeruginosa possesses at least two well-defined, interrelated QS systems, las and rhl that control the production of different virulence factors including biofilm development.Objectives: To determine the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, biofilm producing ability and the presence of QS lasR gene in isolated P. aeruginosa strains from patients withpost-operative wound infections.Methodology:The study was conducted on Fifty-four clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa from infected postoperative wounds in patients admitted in Zagazig university hospitals, Egypt. Isolates from all patients were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using
disk diffusion method, in vitro formation of biofilm in microtiter plates containing TryptoneSoya Broth (TSB) medium and detection of QS lasR gene using conventional PCR technique. Results: P. aeruginosa isolates showed high prevalence of resistance against ceftazidimeand aztreonam (74.1%), while they showed the lowest resistance to ceftolozan/tazobactam (7.4%). Biofilm formation was detected in 38 (70.4%) of P. aeruginosa isolates; 14.8%, 46.3% , 9.3% and 29.6% of isolates were strong, moderate, weak and non-biofilm producers, respectively. The lasR gene was detected in 42 (77.8%) of P. aeruginosa isolates. There was significant relation between biofilm formation and presence of lasR gene. Conclusion:Postoperative wound infection may serve as a reservoir for multidrug resistant biofilm forming P. aeruginosa. The QS lasR gene is strongly associated with biofilm formation,which can help in identifying lasR gene as a useful diagnostic marker for biofilm producing P. aeruginosa
strains isolated from infected wounds.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of maxilla penetrating the maxillary sinus – A case report
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2252-2258
Introduction: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of neoplasm that affects the lymphoreticular system. Even though bone lesions are rare, it does affect the jaws and, more so, the maxilla than the mandible. Around 40% of NHL originate from the extranodal sites (1). Head and neck NHL is the second most common extranodal site after gastrointestinal tract (2). Presentation of case: we present a case of a 58-year-old male patient with complaints of a continually growing mass in the upper left tooth region of a previously extracted tooth fortwo weeks. A CBCT scan was done which showed proliferation of a mass into the maxillary sinus along with the presence of an oro-antral fistula and loss of palatal cortical plate.Histopathological evaluation revealed the NHL of the maxillary sinus. Discussion: The second most common malignant pathology of the head and neck area after squamous cell carcinoma; Lymphoma, presents most commonly as a persistent swelling in the oral cavity. Other symptoms may include pain, paresthesia, foul smell, discoloration. Lytic changes may also be seen in the bone upon radiographic examination.
Transport distraction osteogenesis for closure of alveolar clefts – A clinical experience.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2259-2269
Treatment of an alveolar defect in a case of cleft lip and palate remains an onerous task to cleft surgeons. Alveolar bone grafting using autogenous bone grafts, has unanimously remained the treatment of choice for closure of alveolar defect in almost all cleft centers around the world. However, this treatment option is far from ideal. The success rate of alveolar bone grafting exponentially decreases with the increase in the size of the defect. Complications like graft resorption, wound dehiscence and recurrence of fistulae make alveolar bone grafting unpredictable for large defects. Management of soft tissues in an alveolar cleft defect poses an equally arduous challenge. Closure of soft tissues under too much tension almost always gives way to wound dehiscence.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: Population in India was not growing rapidly till the early twenties of the last century. It was nearly static, with a relatively safe and acceptable rate of annual growth, since both birth and death rates were relatively high .With advances in technology and expansion of health services death rate started declining in the following decades. Meanwhile the birth rate continued to persist at the same level .This caused a severe demographic gap between the birth and death rate, and resulted in growth of population at an alarming rate. OBJECTIVE: To assess the knowledge and perceived barrier regarding IUCD. METHOD AND MATERIAL: A quantitative research approach with non experimental comparative descriptive study was adopted in this study. The non-probabality, purposive sampling technique was used to select the subject for the study. Data collected from 100 subjects were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics.
TIMES OF PANDEMIC IN BOLIVIA: ROLE OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATION IN HEALTH POLICY
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2295-2304
The development of the Public Health Policies of a country is intended to improve its fellow citizens' health level, so that their planning, management, and evaluation of results depend exclusively on the statistical improvement of problems identified before their elaboration. The decision to apply it is not dependent on any political-party
intervention, as this would interfere with public policies' proper development. This research aims to understand the role of social and political organizations in the formulation of health policies in Bolivia, before and during the pandemic period. For this, semi-structured interviews were conducted with key actors who fulfilled the role of health authorities and informants from social and/or political organizations, also analyzing national journalistic views on the subject. A significant finding was the participation of political party actors related to the blocking of public policies, the creation of parallel associations related to the health sector, which leads to the unfeasibility of the policies as they are related to an electoral purpose, poor management, This has an impact on infrastructure deficits and violation of the labour rights of health personnel. The structural analysis shows that the policies must
be analyzed in the short and medium-term and the aspects related to the Imposition of public policies, the unfeasibility of these and social movements are shown with greater urgency.

The Possible Protective Effect Of Saffron Against Acrylamide-Induced Neurotoxicity In Albino Rats (A Molecular Study)
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2311-2327
Nowadays, there is a continuous and progressive global public exposure to acrylamide (ACR) due its presence in fried and backed food. Thermal preparation of sugar-rich food mostly initiates chemical reactions that yield dangerous chemicals. Of these chemicals arise acrylamide and its metabolite glycidamide. Those having a high
affinity for binding to nervous tissues. The acrylamide-induced neurotoxicity involves reduction in proliferation of neuronal progenitor cells associated with apoptotic cell death. Concerning acrylamide-induced toxicity, preventive medicine research focused on natural antioxidants. Studies on active constituents of Saffron showed obvious antioxidant, and anti-toxic properties. Here, we designed this study to investigate the possible protective
effect of saffron against acrylamide-induced neurotoxicity in hippocampal area of brain. Adult male albino rats were assigned equally into 4 groups (n = 8); control; saffron group; acrylamide (ACR)-administered group and combined ACR and saffron- treated group. Our results recorded molecular changes as a significant decrease on genomic DNA fragmentation in saffron co-administered group as compared to ACR-exposed group. The changes on DNA mutagenicity were studied by analyzing the random amplification of polymorphism of DNA that showed an elevated genomic integrity on rat co -administered saffron with ACR in contrast to those exposed to ACR only.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2354-2359
Angiogenesis is a key process in cancerous tumors development. It is regulated by angiogenesis factors. Although in any type of cancer it involves the formation of new blood vessels, there are some differences between cancer types. Angiogenesis is also crucial in brain tumors development. Angiogenesis inhibitors are used in neuroncological treatment. We present an overview of the knowledge of angiogenesis in the two main types of primary brain tumors: gliomas and meningiomas. We hope that the current state of this knowledge is important in the topic of brain tumors pathology and therapy.

Segmentation of Brain Tumor using Contourlet Transform and Chan-Vese Active Contour Model Approach
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2381-2389
The brain tumor segmentation acts as a major task in the field of medical image processing. The detection of cancer in manual manner with the large MR images is very tedious, as it requires more time. Thus, in order to overcome the drawbacks of the manual segmentation of the brain tumor, automatic brain tumor segmentation is needed. This paper presents an automatic segmentation of brain tumor using Contourlet transform and Chan-Vese active contour model. The Contourlet transform captures edges and smooth contour at any orientation and it also filters the noise in image in a better way. The Contourlet transform with its extra feature of directionality gives images of high resolution. Chan-Vese active contour models are region based segmentation models and they use optimal piecewise smooth approximation function for the segmentation. These models are very accurate as compared to the traditional segmentation techniques.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2446-2453
Background: pain after Cesarean delivery (CD) can negatively affect ambulation, breastfeeding, and maternal bonding. The aim of this study was to determine whether a correctly performed TAPB can provide better control of acute postoperative pain during the first 48 hours after CS and if it can provide a faster postoperative recovery.
Patients and methods: included 32 participants who underwent elective caesarean section assigned randomly into two groups. Group A: 16 patients received TAP block. Group B: 16 patients did not receive any block. Medicine Ten centimeters visual analog scale (VAS) was also explained during preoperative visit. The postoperative pain was evaluated at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18 and 24 hours by using VAS for pain scoring that was explained to the patients
during preoperative visit as a 100 millimeter horizontal line with verbal anchors at both ends. Results: Our study showed that there is statistically significant difference between the studied groups regarding VAS pain scorebaseline or at any point of time (significantly lower in TAP block group). In each group, there is significant change (increase) in VAS pain score over time. There is statistically significant difference between the studied groups regarding time for first analgesia (significantly longer in TAP block group). Number of patients who need nalufin was significantly higher in control group (ten patients within control group versus only one in TAP block group). Also, there is statistically significant difference between the studied groups regarding patient satisfaction. More than half of patients (56.2%) within TAP block group were very satisfied while half of those within
control group felt neutral (neither satisfied or not). Conclusion: Transverse abdominis plane block represents a viable alternative to common analgesic procedures performed for acute postoperative pain control after a CS.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2470-2475
Background: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit. Ductal hyperkeratinization, increased secretion of sebum, and colonization of Propionibacterium Acnes (P. acnes) around the pilosebaceous gland are among the factors responsible for the etiopathogenesis of acne vulgaris. Interleukin- (IL-) 19 is a cytokine expressed by epithelial cells with proinflammatory stimulation. A distinctive feature of IL- 19 is their ability of giving positive feedback loop to amplify themselves; once they are activated in inflammatory process, they will continuously produce the cytokine. The study aimed to identify the relation between blood levels of IL-19 and acne vulgaris. Methods: 36 acne patients and 12 healthy subjects were included in our study. All of patients and controls were subjected to full history, full general and dermatological examination. Serum IL-19 level was measured from each subject using quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) serum kits. Results: There was no statistical significance difference between the cases and controls in age and sex.Serum Interleukin 19 level is highly significant increased in patients with acne compared to controls. Serum IL-19 level was statistically significant with age of patients, disease duration and site of lesion. Conclusion: Interleukin 19 is higher in acne compared to controls. level of IL-19 positively correlated with age of patients and disease duration, that was statistically significant

AUTOPHAGY AND CANCER TREATMENT REVIEW
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2494-2503
Autophagy is a catabolic process that targets impaired organelles and proteins for lysosomal degradation to maintain cell hemostasis. Autophagy in cancer is dynamic and, more specifically, depending on the stage and type of tumor. Researches in genetically engineered mouse models are agreed with the concept that autophagy can constrain initiation of the tumor by controlling oxidative stress and DNA damage, while in established tumors, autophagy can also be required for tumor survival. As shown in preclinical models, suppression of autophagy restored chemotherapy sensitivity against tumor cells. Targeting autophagy in cancer will develop a new era for anti-cancer drugs, but more specific and potent inhibitors of autophagy are needed. The role of autophagy in cancer cells continues to emerge, and further studying to identify optimum strategies to modulate autophagy for therapeutic advantage.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2504-2509
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare and severedemyelinating diseasewhich occurs in immunocompromised patients. A 51-year-old male presented to us with a difficulty in walking and loss of sensation on left side, he was provisionally diagnosed to be a case of cerebrovascular accident. His serology tests came as positive for HIV. Further work up with imaging as well as laboratory testing was done and he was proved to be a case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy which is rarely reported in Indian literature. Our patient unfortunately passed away after 3 days. This case is a reminder that one should keep an open mind for multiple as well as rare possibilities while dealing with a patient of neurological deficit.
Optimized Feed Forward Neural Network For Classification Of Diabetes In Big Data Environment
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2510-2528
Diabetes can be turn into life threaten diseases, if it is not treated at an early stage. Especially, in the women, the chances of diabetes is higher as compared to men due to the hormonal changes during pregnancies. Due to this, they suffer a long term diabetes as well as other diseases due to their tensions and regular life chores. This can be prevented if the diagnosis is determined at an early stage. Mostly, the trained doctors are required to confirm the diabetes. It requires manual work and complete knowledge in it. This problem is avoided by several research works using machine learning algorithm for the classification. Those algorithms process effectively for smaller dataset with smaller number of attributes. Hence, to overcome this shortcomings, in this an optimization based classifier is proposed to process on larger datasets like BIG DATA. In existing, the improved K-means and logistic regression algorithm is applied. It able to improve the classification rate but the features for training and computational time is high. To overcome this problem, an optimization based machine learning approach is used in this paper. Before the classification process, the data is pre-processed to remove the missing values and non-available values. In this, the K-means clustering is applied to the data to remove the outlier data and to reduce the training time period of the prediction process. The prediction of diabetic is done with the help of feed forward neural network. The inputs for the network is by selecting dominant attributes in the dataset using optimization process. The objective function is to reduce the misclassification rate of the classifier. In this, the cuckoo search optimization and feed forward neural network is used. This approach able to improve the accuracy as compared to the existing technique. The whole process is realized in MATLAB R 2018a environment and evaluated in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, F-measure and Matthew correlation coefficient.This approach outperforms all other existing technique with F-measure of 96.7%.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2539-2547
Background: Various techniques have been used for securing the appendicular stump, some of which is expensive as endoscopic linear cutting stapler (7,8); others are not available in some hospitals as preformed suture loops (endoloops).We raise the question of safety and effectiveness of securing the appendicular stump by clipping versus intra-corporeal ligation in laparoscopic appendectomy to patients with acute appendicitis.
Aim: We compare between clipping versus intra-corporeal ligation of appendiceal stump regarding safety, timing of operation and difficulty.
Patients and Methods: Forty patients presented with acute appendicitis at Damanhour Teaching Hospitaland Theodor Bilhariz Research Institute (TBRI), the diagnosis was based on clinical diagnosis,laboratory and ultrasonographic findings. They were divided randomly into two groups: Group I: Metal Clip group (MC Group), and Group II: Intra-corporeal ligation group (ICL Group).
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between patients of both groups as regarding age or gender while group II were significantly higher in operative duration. Group I is higher in the rate of conversion to open and post-operative complications. there have been no statistically significant differences regarding hospital stay.
Conclusion: The two techniques of clip application and ligature are effective in securing the appendicular stump in laparoscopic appendectomy. With increasing the skills of ligation we prefer ligation over clipping especially with large, hard and friable appendiceal stump.
Comparative Study on the Cardiovascular and Pancreatic Effects of Canagliflozin versus Vildagliptin on Experimentally Induced Diabetes and Hypertension in Male Albino Rats
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2548-2561
Background: Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are interrelated diseases sharing common
etiology and disease mechanisms that predispose to cardiovascular disease. Hypertension is
approximately twice frequent in diabetic patients compared by non-diabetics.
Aim: This study was designed to compare the potential cardiovascular beneficial effects and
pancreatic β-cell function improvement by vildagliptin as DPP-4 inhibitor and canagliflozin as
SGLT2 inhibitor on diabetic hypertensive male albino rats.
Materials and Methods: thirty-six rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups: Control group,
Diabetic hypertensive, Vildagliptin-treated diabetic hypertensive (20 mg/kg/day by orally) and
Canagliflozin-treated diabetic hypertensive groups (40 mg/kg/day orally). T2DM was induced by
I.P. injection of nicotinamide (230 mg/kg) 15 min prior to single dose injection of streptozotocin
(60 mg/kg, IP). Hypertension was induced by L-NAME (50 mg/kg, PO) for 4 weeks. The assessed
parameters were systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), fasting blood glucose
(FBG), serum endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), proinsulin, insulin, proinsulin/Insulin
ratio, relative expression of MafA gene (β-cells specific transcription factor), Pancreatic and
duodenal homebox-1 (PDX-1) gene, and histopathology for pancreas.
Results: The results of the present study demonstrated that oral administration of vildagliptin
orally for 4 weeks for diabetic hypertensive rats produced beneficial cardiovascular effects as
evidenced by the significant reduction of SBP and DBP and the significant increase in serum
eNOS level. Moreover, vildagliptin improved pancreatic β-cell function evidenced by the
significant reduction of the proinsulin/insulin ratio, the significant increase of MafA and PDX-1
gene expression and the improvement of the histopathological picture of the pancreas.On the other
hand, the results of the present study showed that oral administration of canagliflozin orally for 4
weeks for diabetic hypertensive rats produced significant reduction of SBP, but there is
insignificant change of DBP and serum eNOS level. Also, it was found that oral administration of
canagliflozin significantly increased insulin and proinsul in with no significant change of
proinsulin/insulin ratio. In addition, canagliflozin improved pancreatic β-cell function evidenced
by the significant increase of MafA and PDX-1 gene expression and the improvement of the
histopathological picture of the pancreas; however, vildagliptin has better effects on these
pancreatic β-cell parameters.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2562-2569
Herein, we report the unique property of MOF as a photo catalyst: ferrocene (Fc) based Co-MOF (probe R1) prepared by a simple method was able to react with H2O2 to achieve high efficiency in photocatalytic Fenton process. In selective heterogeneous Fenton process using Fc based Co-MOF; the results suggest that the combination of Fe2+/Fe3+ cation and H2O2 can significantly improve the photocatalytic proficiency at room temperature. It could completely remove MO azo dye in the presence of a certain amount of H2O2 under visible light within 40 minutes. The activity performed by varying different parameters, such as dye and catalyst concentration, pH, H2O2 dosage. MOF catalyst shows better adsorption at acidic medium. When the quantity of photo catalyst R1 increased, then the decolorization of the azo dyes enhanced. The degradation diminishes with increasing the concentration of dyes as well as pH range. This work reveals that Fc based Co-MOF materials hold countless potential for assertions in the field of radiation-energy exchange into chemical energy. The photo catalyst probe-R1 perceived that was a perfect photo catalyst from the degradation/adsorption of Methyl Orange in the presence of visible radiation.
Keywords- Degradation, Fenton Catalyst, H2O2, MOF, Visible light.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2582-2592
Background: CHA2DS2VASc score is a predictive tool that enables estimation the risk of
developing ischemic stroke and thrombo-embolism in cardiac patient. Intracoronary thrombus
formation due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture and the interruption of coronary blood flow
constitute the main pathophysiology underlying acute coronary syndrome Objective:
Assessment of the ability of CHA2DS2-VASc score for predicting high intracoronary thrombus
and to evaluate the prognostic value of it in assessment of stroke, re-infarction and mortality in
patients with Non- ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). Methods: Sixty-six patients
were enrolled in our study, divided into 2 groups; Group I (n = 33 patients) represents low
thrombus grade, Group II (n = 33 patients) represents high thrombus grade. All patients were
subjected to coronary angiography to assess degree of stenosis and coronary flow by
thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade score. Sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic
accuracy of CHA2DS2-VASc in prediction of high thrombus burden were assessed. Results:
The mean age for Group I and II was 62.21±9.51 and 66.67±9.14 years respectively. LV
average global systolic strain (AGS) was significantly lower in group I and II when compared to
group III. Age, Killip class and LA diameters are highly significant predictors for incidence of
high CHA2DS2-VASc. The diagnostic accuracy of CHA2DS2-VASc in prediction of high
thrombus burden was 83.3% with cut-off value 4. Conclusion: CHA2DS2-VASc score is a good
predictor of intracoronary thrombus burden in non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2603-2614
Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common and potentially morbid
complication following cardiac surgery. It was reported to be associated with greater inhospital
mortality; prolonged hospital stays. In addition, the long-term survival was worse in
patients who developed POAF. Patients who develop POAF incur additional hospital
treatment cost and 2-to-4-fold increased risk of major adverse cardiac events.
Objective: To determine the possible predictors of POAF after coronary artery bypass
surgery and its impact on outcome.
Methods: Two hundred patients were enrolled; they were divided into 2 groups; Group I (n =
100 patients) developed POAF and group II (n = 100 patients) did not developed POAF. All
patients were subjected to history, examination, ECG, echocardiography, laboratory
investigation as CBC, coagulation profile, kidney function tests, liver enzymes and high
sensitivity troponin and coronary angiography to assess severity of coronary artery disease by
SYNTAX score.
Results: POAF score which contain 9 variables: Age >60 y, Smoking, COPD, CP bypass time
(min) >86.5, Vent. Time <23.5, PLR >113.4, LVEF <53.5, RV function by TAPSE <2.15 and
Syntax score >34.5. Each variable takes points according to multivariate analysis with total
score 20. ROC curve analysis was done to pick up the best cut off value of POAF Score and
incidence of POAF which revealed POAF Score more than 10 has sensitivity 99 % and
specificity 86% Area under the curve 0.99. Conclusion: POAF after CABG is associated with
higher morbidity and mortality, prolonged recumbence in the hospital. Prediction of POAF
might be useful in detection of patients at risk for these complications using POAF risk
score.

Review: Speed Breeding a Ray of hope for the future generation in terms of food security
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2653-2658
Speed breeding has revolutionized whole of the world in today’s era. The first ever speed breeding procedure was developed through an inspiration from NASA which was adopted by the University of Queensland scientists. Speed breeding is a protocol which enables plant breeders to enhance the crop production changing the temperature and light duration and intensity to enhance the growth of the plant. It is using artificial source of light that too continuously which triggersthe photosynthesis process results in the growth and the process of reproduction comes very early as compared to normal timing. The researches show that by Speed breeding techniques we can grow approximately 6 generations of wheat, chickpea & barley and around 4 generations of canola plants in a single year. This will help us to meet the demands of the growing population of future. This can be accomplished through various technologies such as genotyping, MAS, highthroughput phenotyping; gene editing, genomic selection ,re-domestication which can be integrated with speed breeding to enable plant breeders to keep up with a evolving climate and ever-increasing human population.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2659-2671
Background: The most prevalent form of inflammatory arthritis is rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and it usually involves elbows, feet, wrists, knees, and ankles. The foot is the first region of the body to display RA signs and symptoms for certain patients. This research aimed to assess the prevalence of foot disorders in RA patients, identifying the relationship between the activity of the RA disease and foot disorders, as well as their effect and deformities occurrence.
Patients and methods: A total of 300 RA patients were included in this report. There were 240 women and 60 men, aged between 18 and 74. The following were done to all patients: complete historical review, complete clinical examination, and the evaluation of disease occurrence Complete blood count (CBC), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), c-reactive protein (CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF) titer, and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP Ab) titer were used and X Ray on foot done to all patients
Results: We found that 31.6% of the study patients had foot deformities. 214 patients (71.3%) had normal gait while 86 patients (28.7.0%) had pathological gait. Hallux valgus was common among old age and obese RA patients. The foot deformities are associated with moderate and high DAS28 activity. Obese RA patients are more susceptible to have foot problems 2.89 times more than normal-weight RA patients. 176 patients (58.6%) had narrowing, 97 patients (32.33%) had osteoporosis 87 patients (29.0%) had erosion, 20 patients (6.67%) had bone cyst, 17 patients (5.6%) had subluxation and 14 patients (4.6%) had amalgamation.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2683-2686
Duration of orthodontic treatment is a crucial parameter from patient as well as orthodontist point of view. Considering this aspect in mind accelerated orthodontic came into existence. The purpose of this split mouth study was to evaluate effectiveness of piezocision-based flapless corticotomy. 50 orthodontic patients requiring first premolar extraction were selected. Following teeth extraction radiographic guided micro incisions and localized piezocision corticotomy was performed on the side selected as study side. Time elapsed to close the space by both conventional technique and corticotomy was noted.A repeated measure ANOVA was used to compare the duration of canine retraction between both the sides. A significant difference in duration of space closure was seen.It was concluded that likewise conventional corticotomy technique flapless piezocision technique was also a successful method of orthodontic tooth movement; but this is less invasive and more comfortable to patients.

Background:Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy is a major cause of maternal and perinatal
morbidity and mortality in developing countries. The obstetrical use of Doppler sonography for
monitoring high-risk pregnancies is today an indispensable procedure. Hence; the present study
was conducted for assessing the effeteness of Doppler in Patients with Pregnancy Induced
Hypertension.Materials & methods: A total of 20 pregnant patients between 28 to 36 weeks of
pregnancy clinically diagnosed as PIH. Control group comprised of 20 patients with 28 to 36 weeks
with no clinically detectable hypertension. Inclusion criteria Comprised of patients with rise of
atleast 30 mm Hg and 15 mm of Hg in systolic and diastolic pressures respectively over the previous
known blood pressure, patients whose previous blood pressures were not known, the blood pressure
of atleast 140/90 mm of Hg were considered abnormal, singleton pregnancy, regular periods and
normotensive pregnant patients with gestational age between 28 to 36 weeks of gestation. Blood
pressure was recorded and ultrasound examination was done followed by Doppler. All the results
were recorded and analysed using SPSS software.Results: A total of 20 patients were included in
the study group and 20 subjects were enrolled in the control group. In the study group, normal S/D
ration was seen in 12 subjects while abnormal was seen in 8 subjects. Among the subjects with
abnormal S/D ratio, still birth and low birth weight were seen in 4 subjects and 3 subjects
respectively. Conclusion: Doppler velocimetry is useful in distinguishing the serious patients from
those where the approach can be a bit more conservative.

Estimation of Sociodemographic Factors and Blood Group Type with Risk of COVID-19 in an Indian Population.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2707-2712
The new public health crises were threatening the world with the emergence and spread of patients suffering from novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The epicentre of this highly contagious disease was Wuhan city, China, in December 2019. The World Health Organization (WHO) has verified the outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) as a global public health emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) (2). Currently, the major concern and clinical research on novel Coronavirus is inadequate or still in the primary stage Urgent need to develop safe and effective countermeasures that can be available, accessible and suitable for use in populations most in need. The outbreak is associated with exposures that surfaced in a Chinese seafood wholesale market. The novel virus, previously called the 2019-novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), is currently designated as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), WHO officially named the disease COVID-19 in February 2020 and is registered by International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). The observed variability in susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 and severity of the ensuing COVID-19 have raised intense interest in their environmental and genetic risk factors. An early report from China suggested that blood group A was associated with increased susceptibility and blood group O was associated with reduced susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection

When the lifetime of an item follows an Exponentiated inverted Weibull Distribution, a group acceptance sampling plan based on reduced lifetimes is developed in this article. The minimal number of groups and acceptance number required for a particular group size are determined for a specified consumer's risk and the test termination time. The minimum ratios of the true average life to the prescribed life at a certain producer's risk are determined using the values of the operational characteristic function for various quality levels. Examples are used to demonstrate the conclusions.
Assessment the level of Immunity against COVID-19 among Uttar
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2721-2726
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV 2) is the virus that causes COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), the respiratory illness responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. It has created a devastating effect on humanity with social and economic depression. Europe and America were the hardest hit continents. India has also lost lives, making the country fourth most deadly worldwide. However, the infection and death rate per million and the case fatality ratio in Uttar Pradesh were substantially lower than in many States in India. Several factors have been proposed including genetics. One of the important facts is that a large chunk of Uttar Pradesh population is asymptomatic to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus, the real infection in Uttar Pradesh is much higher than the reported number of cases. Therefore, the majority of people are already immune in the states. To understand the dynamics of real infection as well as the level of immunity against SARS-CoV-2, we have performed antibody testing (serosurveillance) in the urban region of ten districts in Uttar Pradesh in our survey, the prevalence frequency varied between 0.01-0.48, suggesting high variability of viral transmission between District. We also found out that the cases reported by the government were several folds lower than the real incidence of infection. This discrepancy is mainly driven by the higher number of asymptomatic cases. Overall, we suggest that with the high level of immunity developed against SARS-CoV-2 in the majority of the districts, the case fatality rate of second wave in India will be minor than first wave.
Clinical Study on Etiopathology of Oral Cavity Malignancies among Adults in Telangana
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2727-2732
Background: The incidence of oral cancers is increasing every year across the globe. India is of the countries which shares a high burden of oral malignancies owing to habits such as beetle chewing, smokeless tobacco use, smoking, and alcoholism. the current study aimed to describe the spectrum of clinical features in patients with oral malignancies along with the determination of etiological factors for oral malignancies reporting to our hospital.
Methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of ENT, Govt. ENT Hospital, Osmania Medical College, Koti, Hyderabad, Telangana. All the suspected cases with oral lesions were subjected to detailed history, clinical examination, and under local anesthesia with 10% xylocaine spray using Luc’s forceps biopsy was taken from edge of lesion and sent for histopathological examination.
Results: Highest frequency of malignancy was observed in the 31 – 50 years age group with 54% of all cases. Squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed by histopathology in 97% cases, adenocystic carcinoma in 2% cases, and myoepithelial carcinoma in 1%. Tobacco chewing was the commonest etiological factor in all the cases. The common site of involvement was tongue in 39% of cases, buccal mucosa in 28% cases, retromolar trigone in 14% cases.
Conclusion: Reduction in the burden of oral cancers can be achieved by reduction of risk factors, tobacco consumption, health education, and improvement of lifestyle. Additionally, recognizing and controlling precancerous lesions and early diagnosis of oral lesions, and initiation of appropriate therapy at initial stages will reduce morbidity and mortality associated with oral cancers.
A fistula's Prevalence and Management in Patients with Chronic Anal Fissure (CAF)
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2733-2737
Background: Anal Fissure and Fistula can be hard to ignore, particularly with symptoms such as itchiness or pain and bleeding in the rectal area. Anal fistula is a pathological connection between the anal canal and perianal skin, which most commonly develops from an infected anal crypt.
Aim: To search for the prevalence and treatment of a fistula in patients with chronic anal fissure (CAF).
Method: We started to look the presence or absence of any local sequels in 73 patients around the fissure in consecutive patients with CAF. The duration of symptoms and a history of previous abscess formation and/or drainage were asked in detail. In patients with fissure-fistula, fistulotomy/ fistulectomy was first performed because this part of the operation necessitated division of some of the IAS in some cases. The patients were examined on the 8th postoperative day, 1 month & 6 months postoperatively.
Results: Patients who underwent surgery for anal fistula were analyzed. Of the 73 patients (aged 18-60 years), 47 (64.38%) were males and 26 (35.62%) were females. 46 (63%) patients were treated with LIS only; 18 patients (24.66%) were treated with LIS + sentinel pile excision and 9 (12.34%) were treated with LIS + fistulotomy with/without abscess drainage.
Conclusion: It is the determinant of CAF in the success of the treatment of anal fistula developing on the basis of CAF. Adequate sphincterotomy is successful in the treatment of CAF and anal fistula developing on the fissure background.

Purpose: To study the serum lipid levels of patients with retinal vein occlusion and compare the lipid levels with age matched control group, also correlate with RVO induced macular edema.
Study Design: A comparative study.
Methods: This was a comparative study. Total 172 patients were included. Among them there were around 86 patients /cases in group1, (26 CRVO, 55 BRVO, 5 HRVO) diagnosed and 86 controls (selective age matched) in group 2 enrolled into the study. Group 1 cases were those who meet our inclusion and exclusion criteria. After taking informed consent, detailed history taken and thorough ophthalmological examination was done, All patients with retinal vein occlusion in group 1 underwent optical coherence tomography scan to assess macular edema to detect central retinalthickness. Later they were advised for fasting serum lipid levels in an advanced biochemistry laboratory.
Results: Total cholestrol, triglycerides , HDL, LDL levels were elevated significantly in cases with RVO group 1 as compared to age matched controls group 2.
Conclusion: Hyperlipidemia is a common independent risk factor for occurrence RVO in adults. Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL levels were raised (p-value <0.001) and HDL levels were reduced (p value <0.001) in patients with retinal vein occlusion as opposed to age matched comparison control group which was statistically significant. Hyperlipidemia are common risk factors for RVO in adults. It remains to be determined that serum lipid levels can improve visual acuity or the complications of RVO

To study the concentration of anti-B2GPI (IgG and IgMisotypes) in patients with collagen vascular diseases (auto-immune disorders), pregnancy related complication and thromboembolic disorders
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2762-2769
Background&Method: This is a retrospective study carried out with an aim to study the
concentration of anti-B2GPI (IgG and IgMisotypes) in patients with collagen vascular diseases
(auto-immune disorders), pregnancy related complication and thromboembolic disorders, in
patients who were tested for anti-B2GPI (IgG and IgM) and ACL (IgG and IgM) by the
standardized solid-phase enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in pathology department.
Result:The 38 patients with SLE presented with common clinical manifestations of SLE. In
addition, Raynaud’s phenomenon (n = 3) and photosensitivity (n = 4) were seen in a few.
Further, two each of patients with SLE had auto-immune hemolytic anemia, and history of
spontaneous abortions respectively. One of the two patients with spontaneous abortions had a
past history of a vertebrobasilar infarct. Renal involvement was noted in 13 (34.2%) cases, out of
which 11 had biopsy proven lupus nephritis, one case had mild mesangial proliferation and in
one ultrasound of the abdomen had shown medical renal disease. One patient had a clinical
diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis however results of radiological tests for confirmation if done
were not available. One other patient had pulmonary hypertension. The patient with primary
APS had presented with seizures and post-ictal confusion.
Conclusion:In present study ACL (IG & or IgM) was noted to be more prevalent than anti-
B2GPI (IG & or IgM) in patients with collagen vascular diseases (auto-immune diseases) and
thromboembolic disorders while they showed a similar prevalence in patients with recurrent fetal
losses. While we observed that there were certain differences in the prevalence of these
antibodies when compared to other published studies, this could be related to differences in
patient selection.
Role of Single Dose Intradermal Triamcinolone Infiltration in Preventing Hypertrophic and Keloid Scarring at Skin Grafting Donor Site
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2770-2776
Background: "Hypertrophic scars" are excessive scars with thick fibrous tissue that
does not extend beyond the margins of the initial wound or incision. They're usually
broader than they need to be for regular wound healing. Following excision,
intraoperative and postoperative intralesional steroid treatment has been proven to
minimise recurrence to less than 50%.
Materials and Methods: This is a prospective and single centre study conducted in the
Department of General Surgery, Maheshwara Medical College & Hospital from 1st
September 2020 to 4th September 2021. Males and females in the age group between 18
and 60 years were included in this study. The split thickness skin graft was harvested
from a normal thigh where no skin graft had been harvested earlier. Indications for
skin grafting were both elective and emergency.
Results: In our study, male was predominant 72.5% and remaining was 27.5%. Among
the study group, 67.5% were post burn contracture raw areas, 30% posttraumatic raw
areas and 3% post infective raw areas. Among 40 donor site steroid injection sites 9 are
hyperpigmented (dark), 9 are hypo pigmented and 20 are similar in colour with
surrounding skin compared to 20 (hyper), 13 (hypo), 7 (iso) respectively at donor site
control areas. Mean value of normal skin thickness is 1.70, test site skin thickness is 2.30
and at control site skin thickness is 2.70. In our study57.5% cases have mild pain at test
site, 42.5% cases have no pain at test site and 45% have moderate pain at control site in
the post-operative period.
Conclusion: Reduced scar diameters, height, scar texture, colour match, and
symptomatic relief were found in our investigation, with little dose-related druginduced
adverse effects. With regard to pigmentation and thickness, employing post
operational intra lesional triamcinolone acetate injection after harvesting skin grafting
resulted in a superior cosmetic and symptomatic outcome in skin grafting donor
locations.

Comparative Study Between Modes of Non-Invasive Ventilation for The Management of Type 2 Respiratory Failure in Acute Exacerbation of COPD Patient at National Institute of Medical Sciences, Jaipur
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2781-2786
INTRODUCTION: Chronic respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) contributes a significant social and economic burden to individuals, families and the healthcare system. One of the limitations of traditional NIV is altered levels of consciousness. However, under certain circumstances, especially those produced by hypercapnic conditions, traditional NIV has produced very favorable results, even in patients with hypercapnic coma.
METHODOLOGY: A hospital based, prospective, observational study done on 176 patients of AECOPD with type 2 respiratory failure admitted at Institute of Respiratory Diseases, National Institute of Medical sciences, Jaipur. Necessary permission was taken from Ethical Committee and Research Review Board of National Institute of Medical science, Jaipur.
RESULTS: Our study showed that the comparison of mean age was statistically non-significant (=0.5979 NS) and duration of disease was statistically significant (P=0.0004*). Our study showed that the mean value of pH, PaCO2, PaO2 and SaO2 was statistically non-significant at admission and after 3 hours in between groups, but HCO3- & Respiratory Rate was statistically significant at admission and after 3 hours in between groups. pH and PaCO2 was statistically significant after 6 hours in between groups.
CONCLUSION: We concluded that NPPV should be the first line intervention in addition to usual medical care to manage respiratory failure secondary to an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in all suitable patients. NPPV should be tried early in the course of respiratory failure and before severe acidosis, to reduce mortality, avoid endo-tracheal intubation, and decrease treatment.

Background &Method: The aim of the study is to determine lipid status in one of the common neurodegenerative disease i.e Parkinson’s disease patients. 5 ml fasting blood samples from patients sex & age matched controls were collected from antecubital vein, with all aseptic precaution in plain vacutainers.
Result: Serum total cholesterol level and LDL cholesterol was significantly low in Parkinson’s patients as compared with control group. Serum HDL cholesterol level was slightly low, but not significantly different as compared with controls.
Conclusion: Finally from our work we observed that Serum Total cholesterol and Serum LDL cholesterol levels are significantly decreased, in Parkinson’s disease patients as compared with controls. Serum HDL cholesterol is slightly decreased & did not show any statistical difference in Parkinson’s disease patients as compared with healthy controls suggesting dysregulation of lipid metabolism in PD patients.
A clinical evaluation of MRI of pituitary gland height, shape in correlation with the age, sex
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2792-2799
Background: The pituitary gland was first described anatomically by a Belgian scientist Andreas Vesalius in 1543.Pituitary gland is the master endocrine gland of human body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most suitable modality for the evaluation of pituitary gland pathologies. Knowledge of the normal dimensions of the pituitary gland is needed to differentiate normal from abnormal cases. Size of the gland especially height varies according to age group and also gender. The references values are helpful for evaluating pituitary gland especially in borderline cases in whom dynamic post contrast studies are needed for further evaluation. Hence we conducted a study to formulate the normal data for different age groups.
Aim of the study: Aim of the study is to evaluate the size and shape of pituitary gland according to different age groups on MRI.
Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in the department of Radiology, Government Medical College, Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India, a tertiary care teaching hospital. 203 patients who had undergone brain MRI, Patients with seller or parasellar pathologies and endocrine disorders were excluded from the study. Mid sagittal T1 weighted images were analysed for size and shape of the gland.
Results: Our study included 203 patients, 112 males and 91 females. The patients were divided into different age groups from 0 to 10 years, 11-20 years, 21-30 years, 31-40 years, 41-50 years, 51-60 years and 61 years and above. Mean height of pituitary gland in our study was 5.42 mm. Maximum height was found in 11-20 years age group. After 11-20 years age group, gradual decline in the height was noted. Minimal increase in the elderly age group was also seen. Most common shape of the pituitary gland was flat in our study.
Conclusion: The reference value of normal size of pituitary gland in various genders and age groups has been standardized. Any variation in size will help the clinician to deduce any pathology and make early diagnosis and plan adequate this will be avoid unnecessary suffering to patients. Knowledge of pituitary gland height in different age groups is helpful in distinguishing normal from abnormal gland. Normal data of the study is useful for the same.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2800-2806
Background: Stroke specifically the type due to cerebrovascular disease is defined as a sudden, non-convulsive focal neurological deficit. The terms “apoplexy” originating from the Greek and insult from the Latin “insultus” described stroke phenomenon in ancient times. Cerebrovascular accident is a leading cause of death and disability throughout the world. It is a common cause of death after heart disease and cancer in India. Accurate and early diagnosis can improve the morbidity and mortality rates, as newer and more effective therapies are currently being instituted. Since computed tomography imaging is widely available, cost effective and less time consuming, it plays the role of first line imaging modality.
Aims and objectives: The purpose of the present study is to document the presence or absence of haemorrhage or infarcts, to determine the location and reasonably assessing the territory to blood vessels involved and to detect the incidence of negative cases of clinically suspected stroke.
Materials and Methods: A prospective study of 62 cases admitted to Department of Radiodiagnosis, Government Medical College, Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India with the clinical diagnosis of acute stroke were taken up for the study. Data for my study is collected by sampling referred cases with a clinical history of stroke.
Results: Out of 62 patients clinically suspected of CVA submitted for CT scan study of the brain. 40 patients i.e., 64.5% had infarcts. 15 patients i.e., 24.2% had haemorrhage, 3 patient i.e., 5% had S.D.H., 2 patients i.e., 3.33% had C.V.T. 1 patient i.e., 1.6 % had tumour and 1 patient i.e., 1.6% had normal scans. Infarcts formed the major group of the CVA cases i.e., 64.5%, involving most commonly the R.M.C.A. territory in patients i.e., 26.31%. Haemorrhage formed the second major group of the CVA cases i.e., 25%, involving most commonly the L.M.C.A. territory in patients i.e., 26.66%.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2807-2820
Background: The shoulder joint is a ball and socket variety of joint with wide range of movements in multiple planes where stability is compromised for mobility. The muscles and tendons are subjected to severe strain resulting in tears. Rotator cuff disease is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain. In addition to history and physical examination, several radiological techniques have been used to detect tears of the rotator cuff. Each has limitations and no clear consensus on the optimum diagnostic study has emerged. The radiological diagnosis of rotator cuff tears has traditionally been performed with arthrography and more recently with non-invasive techniques like ultrasonography and MRI.
Aims and objectives: Evaluation of role of MRI in rotator cuff injuries, evaluation of role of high resolution ultrasound in rotator cuff injuries. Correlation of clinical and high resolution ultrasound findings with MRI findings.
Materials and Methods: In our study we took over the analysis of 32 patients with clinically suspected rotator cuff injuries were subjected to undergo USG and MRI after thorough history taking and clinical examination. USG was carried out on IU22 Philips machine using a high frequency transducer of 5-17 MHz. The rotator cuff tendons, muscles, ACJ, joint cavity and bursae were examined in various positions. Dynamic examination of shoulder were also carried out for impingement. MRI was performed on 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner, using a dedicated surface coil for shoulder.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2821-2828
The term bad obstetric history or BOH is applied to mothers in whom a previous poor pregnancy outcome is likely to have a bearing on the prognosis of her present pregnancy. Poor pregnancy outcome may be there in form of recurrent pregnancy loss, stillborn baby or intrauterine death of fetus (IUD) which not only increases the perinatal mortality rate but also results in deterioration of physical as well as psychological health of women. There are number of causes which are responsible like genetic or chromosomal disorders, structural abnormalities, endocrinal dysfunction, infections, immunological factors, maternal diseases like anaemia, preeclampsia etc. Despite of regular antenatal care, investigations and management, sometimes the cause remain unknown for the pregnancy loss. In Ayurveda , Acharya Charaka mentioned the factors responsible for normal delivery of normally developed full term fetus as Shukra (healthy sperm), Asrig (healthy ovum), Atma (good deeds), Ashaya (healthy uterus), Kala (appropriate time), diet and mode of life mentioned for pregnant woman in Ayurveda. Ayurveda provides various drugs possessing Rasayana, Balya, Garbhasthapaka, Garbhaposhaka, Prajasthapaka and Shonitaprasadana properties which helps in continuation of pregnancy, proper growth and development of fetus overcoming all complications and simultaneously maintaining the health of mother. In the present case study, patient with history of 3 abortions and 1 Intrauterine death (IUD) was given Ayurvedic medicines to prevent any complications in present pregnancy resulting in delivery of healthy full term baby.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2829-2835
Introduction: Polymorphisms of the different genes have been reported to be associated with a variety of cancers including breast cancer. CYP genes belongings to Cytochrome P450 (CYP450), have been implicated in various cancer formation and development due to their roles such as oxidative stress, activating procarcinogens, and inactivating anticancer drugs.
Objective: This study aimed to examine whether polymorphisms in the CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genes affect the risk of developing breast cancer.
Results: CYP3A4*1B gene polymorphism revealed that in breast cancer patient group 96 had the *1A/*1A genotype (64%), 39 (26%) had the *1A/*B genotype and 15 (10%) had the *1B/*B genotype. In the control group 131 (87%) had the *1A/*1A genotype, 16 (10.66%) had the *1A/*B genotype and 3 (2%) had the *1B/*B genotype. Concerning genotype distribution, a significant difference between the breast cancer patients and the controls was observed where p<0.05) The genotype frequency of the CYP3A5*3 *1/*1, *1/*3, and *3/*3 polymorphisms in breast cancer and healthy control group were analysed. Frequencies of CYP3A4*3 *1/*1, *1/*3 and *3/*3 genotypes were 67.3%, 24% and 8.7 % in breast cancer patients and 79.3%, 14% and 6.7% in the controls, respectively. The distribution of CYP3A5*3 *1/*3 genotypes was significantly associated with breast cancer patients when compared with controls.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the results of our study found a positive association between CYP 3A4*1B and CYP3A5*3 polymorphisms and predispositions to breast cancer risk.
Study on Bacterial Vaginosis in Reproductive-Age Women Using Contraceptives in A Tertiary Care Hospital
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 2836-2843
Background: Vaginal infection is acknowledged as a significant public health issue that affects women of reproductive age and results in a number of issues. The technique of contraception that is used increases the risk of genital infection. The most frequent cause of vaginal discharge in women of reproductive age is bacterial vaginosis. Although the typical vaginal flora differs from person to person, lactobacilli are often the dominant organism. There are other aerobic and anaerobic species in the bacterial flora. These are regarded as pathogenic in some cases. It is known that pelvic inflammatory illness, preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PROM), post-operative gynecologic infections, and abnormal Papanicolaou smear can all be indicators of bacterial vaginosis.

Prevalence of Anemia in Patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at Tertiary Care Center, Karimnagar
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 4648-4654
Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a high prevalence worldwide. Anaemia is one of the most common conditions seen in diabetic patients which is the leading cause of morbidity in these patients. It leads to various complications, including microvascular and macrovascular complications. The nephropathy may undermine the renal production of erythropoietin, positively contributing to an increased anemia framework. The inflammatory situation created by kidney disease also interferes with intestinal iron absorption. Therefore, diabetic patients with kidney disease have higher risk for developing anemia.
Aim : The aim of this work was to determine the prevalence and various types of anemia in patients with type 2 DM.
Methods : After obtaining informed written consent, all diabetics as well as control individuals were subjected to detail history, clinical examination, and investigations as follows: fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, complete blood count, peripheral smear for type of anemia, reticulocyte count and renal function test, creatinine clearance, urine examination, albuminuria, and stool examination through routine and microscopic fecal occult blood test.
Results : The prevalence of anemia among our studied patients with type 2 DM was 65%, with significant increase compared with the control group (10%). Diabetics had microcytic hypochromic anemia among 55%, whereas 44.6% had normocytic normochromic anemia. There was a significant negative correlation between hemoglobin level and degree of albuminuria and a significant positive correlation between hemoglobin level and creatinine clearance.
Conclusion : Anemia is a common finding in patients with type 2 DM when compared with the general population. Hence in diabetic patients, it would be desirable to evaluate the hemoglobin levels often, even when the renal parameters are within the normal limits, for better quality of life.
