Covid 19 virus has shown its terror by causing severe acute respiratory disorder of human being’s effects shows a type of viral pneumonia. To address the anomaly the paper caries the motive encountering the viral infection with the help of interferon type 1 β. A basic discussion of effective INFβ1 and its introduction in the effective cells by Corona virus, plasma mediated delivery system along with development of asymptomatic conditions in non-affected individual. The plasma therapy considers plasma transfusion into effected individuals to boost their immunity against Corona virus. The plasma consists of antibodies, antigens as well as interferon to mediate with the viral infection and providing high effective rate. Satisfying these 2 goals was the basic motto of the paper along with a generation of asymptomatic condition in effected individuals. IBV (infectious bronchitis virus) is a type of influenza virus which has structural, genomic as well as symptomatic similarities with corona virus. Vaccination of non-effected individuals with IBV vac may allow to address the symptomatic similarities of Corona virus such as fever and breathing troubles. The generation of active immunity may render the extent of symptoms allowing persons to remain asymptomatic against the Corona infection. The study of structural phylogenomic of IBV along with Corona virus, and a contrast of similarities to support the asymptomatic postulates of the infected individuals has been explained.
A Review on Role of Aquatic Organisms As Bioindicator on Aquatic Ecosystem Due To Lead(Pb) And Cadmium(Cd) Pollution
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 55-62
The biosphere is the living objects’ natural world. It includes the planet and comprises surface portions of the lithosphere, the body and the hydrosphere. For species to live in the atmosphere, a reasonably homeostatic condition is important. To track any abnormal transition due to economic advancement and consequential growth of civilization, this includes the analysis of the chemical composition of air, water, and soil. Over the last few decades, the volume of water waste worldwide has risen. One of the most important water contamination sources is the application of extremely hazardous and non-degradable heavy metals (such as Lead, Cadmium, etc.) The effect on marine ecosystems is very fantastic. These heavy metals are taken explicitly from the water by water creatures, and indirectly by other animals belonging to the food chains. Since heavy metal ingestion is involved, certain physiological modifications are happening within the heavy metals such as reduction in growth and developmental defects and reduction in survival. Some organisms such as the Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) are used for calculation of heavy metal emissions as bioindicators and biomonitors. The purpose of this study is to discuss the significance of this organism in observing both the volume and quality aspects in relation to heavy metals, particularly lead and cadmium, in the water bodies' surroundings and how this heavy metal exposure can be avoided or managed.

Human Papilloma Virus, Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor as Biological Markers in Sinonasal Inverted Papilloma
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 107-116
Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SIP) has a recurrent tendency and potential for transformation into squamous cell carcinoma and is a locally aggressive benign tumor. In the progression from benign SIP to malignancy, human papillomavirus (HPV) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are suggested to play a major role. This work aims to assess their role as tumor marker in SIP. Immunohistochemical analysis for EGFR and PCR detection of HPV – DNA were estimated in nasal biopsies from 35 SIP, 35 NP and 30 control patientsv (turbinate surgery candidate). Serum SCCA1 was also assessed. HPV-DNA was detected as 63%, 8.6% and 0 % in SIP, NP, and control patients. EGFR intensity revealed statistically significant difference between SIP and other groups. Significant elevated serum SCCA level (6.14 ± 2.69 ng/ml) was found in SIP group, compared to 2.41 ± 1.12 ng/ml and 0.68 ± 0.25 ng/ml in NP and control group. There was a significant decrease of its level postoperatively. The sensitivity was 80.0 and the specificity was 93.8. These results may suggest SCCA and EGFR are possible reliable tumor markers in SIP monitoring and management. High prevalence of HPV-DNA points to its possible role as etiological factor for SIP.

Facial Soft tissue and Hard tissue lacerations of the head and neck region are one of the most common consultations for oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the emergency department. Bite injuries to the aesthetic region like face , head and neck region can result in facial disfigurement with distressing physical, mental and psychological consequences of the patient. Animal bite wounds are most commonly occur on the upper extremities of the body , especially the hand, but some time large percentage are also located on the face as well as head region. The most frequently affected areas are the lips, chin, ears, and nose. It is particularly problematic if large areas of soft tissue in the head region are lost or amputated. An optimal aesthetic result sometimes can only be achieved by extensive surgery such as local flaps or microsurgical replantation. The aim of this study was to establish recommendations for treating animal bite wounds on the face and head based on analysis of our own cases and to discuss the problem of soft tissue loss. The clinical signs ad symptoms and proper management of infected animal bite wounds are vary according to the animals and causative organisms. These kinds of wounds have always been considered complex injuries contaminated with a unique bacteria. This article reviews various animal bite in maxillofacial region, incidence, bacterial implications, risk factors associated with bite injuries and their complications. Animal bite wounds are commonly located on the face, head and neck an oral and maxillofacial surgeon needs to be familiar with the treatment modalities of animal bites, and their various surgical management and educate patients on ways to avoid future bite injuries

Immune thrombocytopenia or ITP is an autoimmune disorder in which the body creates autoantibodies against its thrombocytes or platelets that are destroyed, resulting in purpura or minor bleeding spots under the surface. It is most often found in cancer patients and is of growing concern.While the main causes of thrombocytopenia in cancer pat ients are chemotherapy and radiation, other aetiologies should also be considered in patients suffering
from this debilitating disease. Thrombocytopenia causes a variety of complications in the treatment of cancer patients and therefore pharmacists need to be familiar with epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnostic methods, and emerging therapeutic options for chronic immune thrombocytopenia to help oncologists identify and implement realistic treatment measures for chronic immune thrombocytopenia patients undergoing cancer treatment.The objective of this review is to provide a brief overview of chronic immune thrombocytopenia and various strategies for the clinical management of the disease.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 303-312
Oral hygiene maintenance is usually more strenuous in patients undergoing orthodontic therapy as food lodgement occurs in between bands and brackets . Within a month of treatment this can lead to loss of mineral content of enamel. Preventive measures along with reinforcement and clinical evaluation is necessary. Mineral loss can occur before a white spot becomes visible on the enamel surface. Loss of minerals usually diagnosed by the clinicianwith visual evaluation alone cannot identify the mineral loss. This article attempts to identify and evaluate QLF as a diagnostic apparatus to detect white spot lesions and as a oral hygiene reinforcement reinforcement tool. A QLF apparatus consists of a DSLR camera along with filters and lighting to produce images

Introduction: The Incidence of breast cancer has been found to increase gradually especially among younger women. This could be due to two reasons first is it may be reflecting the true incidence of the tendency of younger women to develop breast cancer or second could be due to increasing awareness and availability of modern screening methods which has led to the detection of cancers in early ages. Methods: We in this cross-sectional study screened n=125 women for breast cancer at RVM Institute of Medical Sciences, Mulugu, Telangana from January 2019 to Dec 2019. A total of n=120 cases were screened for breast cancer. Results: Out of n=125 women screened n=21 cases were detected with breast cancers.The incidence rate was calculated as 21%.Out of the total n=21 cases, n=7(33.33%) cases were found to malignant, n=14(66.67%) cases were benign lesions. Among the malignant lesions diagnosed the Invasive duct cell carcinoma was found in 71.43% of out of the total n = 7 cases of malignancy. In non-neoplastic lesions out of n=14 cases, fibroadenoma was diagnosed in 38.09% cases, followed by proliferative breast disease with atypia 14.28% and Phyllods in 9.52% cases. Conclusion: There is an urgent need for organized breast cancer screening programs especially in rural areas. A multidisciplinary approach is required to create awareness, screening, detection, and treatment. This can help reduce the incidence and mortality in cases of breast cancers.

The purpose of this study is to develop a planned intervention in the health care sector in Bahrain to improve the self-control of healthcare employees by using the Behavioral Change Wheel (BCW) anew method for characterizing and designing behavior change. Hence, the study applies a longitudinal methodology to the healthcare sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain for a sample of 64 participants from November 2019 to January 2020. The procedures of this planned change task occupy three stages, based on Kurt Lewin change field theory: Stage 1 (pre-assessment of employees’self-control using the Brief Self Control Scale (BSCS) questionnaire);Stage 2: planned intervention employing the BCW as a new method of change): and Stage 3 (post assessment by repeating the self-control measurement, and comparing the new results with the previous ones). The findings reveal that the 13Items of the Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) provided different results over the three stages of the study. In Stage 1 (pre-assessment) the level of self-control level was low, but had improved in stage 3 (post-assessment). This is original research that adds to the body of knowledge by developing and validating a new model in changing human behavior, i.e. the change behavior stages(CBS) model. Practically, this study is the only one of its kind to apply the Brief Self Control Scale (BSCS) and the BCW in the health sector. The BCW has been alsoconfirmed as a “valid” and “reliable” instrument that can be used by future researchers to improve human behavior in organizations.

DESMOPLASTIC AMELOBLASTOMA: A REPORT OF THREE CASES FROM A SINGLE INSTITUTE WITH REVIEW OF LITERATURE.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 381-389
Desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) a rare type of ameloblastoma, arises from the rests of dental lamina, developing enamel organ, epithelial lining of odontogenic cyst or from the basal cells of the oral mucosa. Clinically, DA develops as a slow growing, painless, bony hard swelling resulting in facial asymmetry. Histologically, it represents stromal collagenization or desmoplasia with small nests and strands of odontogenic epithelium. But the true biologic profile of DA is not well understood as they mimic fibro-osseous lesions clinico-radiographically. As DA is a rare entity,we aim to discuss three case reports of DA from a single institution which deserves pre-eminence owing to its distinct site, radiological and histological features, local aggressiveness and high chance of false clinical appearance. Desmoplasia is an inductive phenomenon occurring in the mesenchymal tissue of the head and neck region. The pathologist and the clinician should be aware of the concepts and the association with malignant transformation and spread of the lesion in order to deliver appropriate treatment.

Cancer immunology still has many paradoxical questions. One is of the role of the spleen in oncogenesis as well as its own structural reorganization effect on antitumor immunity. Literary data is contradictory and often radically opposite. Therefore, we conducted organometric studies and found out that at the time of pathohistological confirmation of adenocarcinoma in situ in the colon the spleen significantly decreases in size and loses weight. Histologically, deep destructive and degenerative changes in all components of the organ were found: fibrosis, degeneration and destruction of lymphoid tissue, focal zones of destruction in the red pulp. Submicroscopic analysis revealed the presence of lymphocytes with signs of apoptosis in the mantle and periarterial zones. In the white pulp, changes in part of the plasmatic cells were observed: a decrease in the size of the nuclei, damaged GER tubules and mitochondrial cristae. The severity of structural disorders of the spleen increases in the dynamics of the neoplastic lesion development.

Comparison of B lymphocyte effects of laparoscopic versus open prostatectomy in prostate cancer patients.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 437-441
The preoperative B-cell counts (CD 19+) appeared to be more reduced by laparoscopic prostatectomy when compared with open surgery. These findings are important because accumulating evidence suggest that the B-cell subsets emerged in response to prostate cancer exhibit association with unfavorable prognosis. High per cent of B- cells infiltrating tumor were shown to be associated with more aggressive disease. The B-cell depleting therapies used with different prostatectomy settings should be closely monitored to make timely adjustments to peripheral CD19+ counts

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 495-505
Balance disturbances and Vestibular testing are among of the most encountering issues in the ENT clinic. Vertigo and balance disorders affect 30% of the general population before the age of 65 years. With the elderly it is a serious condition as fall is a major cause of death , the percentage in this age group is higher and it is estimated that 33% of aged between 65 and 75 with no history of Vestibular dysfunction encounter a significant fall annually, comparing to 40% of the people aged over 75. Early detection and intervention in these cases can improve the quality of life, as well as decrease the disability and reduce the health care costs (1). It is important for the treating Physician to establish a systemic process for taking the history of the patient, and to implement a structured ENT and Neurologic examination, in order to administer a rational treatment.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 506-516
Accompanying the popularity of high-performance computers, the amount of scholarly study focused on organized, competitive gaming has steadily expanded. To date, user engagement analysis has primarily concentrated on in-game variables, but external influences, including game streams and game-centered communities, affect the intention to both play the game and make in-game transactions. In particular, a new medium for customer engagement is offered by the rise of professional gaming, known as esports. Many non-endemic conventional luxury companies have, however, avoided capitalizing on prospects for esports brand creation. This paper offers a literature analysis of the past and present literature on esports and sports marketing, resulting in the development of a figure representing the history of the esports endemic and non-endemic industry of esports brand use. This study examines the ability for esports to be a powerful element in recognizing both gaming intentions and spending money on games as well as brand development

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 549-557
Determination of accurate vertical dimension of occlusion is extremely important in achieving a successful prosthodontic therapy. It also aids in function, aesthetics and comfort to patients. Many techniques have been put forward for assessing the vertical dimension of occlusion but a universally accepted or a completely accurate method has never been established. The method has to be both satisfactory to the dentist and patient. Thus, a need exists for reliable methods as deviations in such dimensions can lead to joint disorders with severe physical discomfort in the jaw and neck region. This study highlights the anthropometric method to assess if any correlation exists between the dimensions of the ear and fingers with that of the vertical dimension of occlusion in both males and females.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 558-567
Syndicated loans during the credit period often emerge the practice of loan sales or sales of loan facility. The research was aimed to analyze and formulate the practice of sales of loan facility in syndicated loans that performed by the approval of Bank agent without the knowledge of the debtor. The method of research is descriptive analytical with sampling technique using literature study and interviews. The conclusion of research in the form of primary and secondary data were conducted by using qualitative juridical analytical methods. The results of research indicates that the process of sales of loan facility from PT. Bank A to PT. Bank D can be canceled due to the rechtstitle (sale and purchase agreement) underlying a cessie agreement and not based on the applicable law. Legal consequences for PT. Bank D (new creditor) for the takeover of credit receivables by making a sale and purchase agreement for credit and cessie agreements from PT. Bank A to PT. Bank D which is done only with the approval of Bank Agent without the knowledge of the debtor and bad credit occurs, then PT.
Bank D cannot execute the object of collateral, because PT. Bank D did not register with the Land Agency and Fiduciary Registration Office, so the Mortgage and Fiduciary Rights holders were still on behalf of PT. Bank A and other creditors.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 568-573
Goal. To study the heart rate (HR) indicators in divers of different specialization in 2000, 2010, and 2020. Materials and methods. The study involved three generations of submariners (divided into groups): group A-2000, group B-2010, and group B-2020. Each group consisted of 10 boys and 10 women aged 17 to 25 years. Results. Male and female submariners of group B are characterized by higher rates of increase in resting heart rate (HR), compared to athletes of group A and B. Conclusion. The cardiovascular system is sensitive to various
influences, including strenuous physical activity, but the compensatory capabilities of the heart are not unlimited and if this is not taken into account, then you can get overexertion. In our case, it was found that the heart rate, regardless of specialization, reflects the functional level of the state of the cardiovascular system in accordance with different somatotypes.
FORMATION OF HERD IMMUNITY TO SARS-CoV-2 IN THE REGIONS OF UZBEKISTAN
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 574-581
6 months after the start of the COVID-19 epidemic in Uzbekistan, a comparative analysis of the reported incidence of COVID-19 and the level of herd immunity to SARS-CoV-2 was carried out. The registration of patients with
COVID-19 in the country was carried out on the basis of the positive results of the examination for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, using the PCR method. To study herd immunity, the WanTai SARS-CoV-2 Ab Rapid test (China) was used to detect total antibodies (IgM and IgG) in blood. In the period from August 27, 2020 to September 11, 020, in all 14 administrative-territorial regions of Uzbekistan, blood samples of 86879 people who sought medical help at an outpatient clinic at their place of residence were tested for the presence of total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. According to official figures, 0.14% of the population were infected with COVID-19. The proportion of the population with the presence of specific protective antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus was 23.1%. This proves that the actual incidence of COVID-19, on the national average, was at least 165 times higher than officially reported. An uneven territorial distribution of the level of herd immunity was revealed. All regions were conditionally divided into 3 zones: 1) regions with a high level of herd immunity ˃ 20% (8 regions), 2) regions with an average level of herd immunity ˂ 20% and ˃ 10% (3 regions), 3) regions with a low the level of herd immunity ˂ 10% (3 regions). The degree of population affected in different regions of the county did not depend on the population density in the region, its age and gender composition. It was shown that the factors that influenced the intensity of the epidemic process and the formation of the level of herd immunity were the degree of external and internal migration.

BONE DENSITY ASSESSMENT OF MIDPALATAL SUTURE USING GRAYSCALE VALUES-A CBCT STUDY
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 592-606
Objective
To assess the predictability of grayscale values in a CBCT scan to assess the level of
maturation of midpalatal suture density using CBCT modality
Materials and Methods:
The 58 CBCT images of maxillary arch of subjects belonging to the age group 5-32 years were
evaluated to assess morphologic stages of the midpalatal suture maturation stages A to E
based on the Angeliere classification using the grayscale values. One-way ANOVA test was
used to check the variation of grayscale in different groups of mid palatal suture
classification. Pearson's correlation test was used to determine the correlation between the age
of the subjects and grayscale values. An arithmetic calculation was done to convert the
grayscale values into Hounsfield units to assess bone density according to the Misch’s
Classification.
Results- Mean and standard deviation of the grayscale value corresponding to the palatal
maturation stage were assessed and its Hounsfield units (HU) were obtained by using the
mathematicalformula. There was a statistically significant difference among the stages. No
significant difference was observed between stage D and E (p-value >0.05). There was a
significant correlation between the age of the patient and the corresponding grayscale value (r
=0.599, p=0.00).
Conclusion- A statistically significant difference between the ossification stages of the mid
palatine suture and grayscale values was obtained from CBCT and can be hence used as an
alternate method for checking bone density. There is an increase in grayscale value observed
as the age of the subjects increases.
Coagulation and Fibrinolysis Profiles of Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia: Preliminary Assessment of Hypercoagulability
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 607-615
Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia is an abnormality of haematological malignancy that often causes bleeding and death. Coagulation and fibrinolysis examinations are screening parameters that need to be reviewed related to the incidence of bleeding events in AML patients in a hypercoagulability assessment.This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Ulin Regional Hospital Banjarmasin on patients with a recent diagnosis of AML patients for the first time using a consecutive sampling method. The measurement of PT, aPTT, fibrinogen, and D-dimer levels were done at the Diponegoro National Hospital using Coalab-1000 tool. The analysis of the correlation between the
ncidence of bleeding events with coagulation and fibrinolysis parameters used Fisher's exact test.The significance of the correlation test of the incidence of bleeding events with PT, aPTT, Fibrinogen, and D-dimer were 0.731; 0.086; 0.617; 0.587, and 0.731, respectively.The parameters of PT, aPTT, Fibrinogen and D-dimer were not associated with the incidence of bleeding events. The extension of PT and aPTT in most AML patients is suspected due to the deficiency of coagulation factors. Screening tests of PT, aPTT, fibrinogen and D-dimer levels should be performed in AML patients, although the results do not always show abnormalities

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 643-651
Introduction: Osteomyelitis is pathologically defined as inflammation of bone and bone marrow due to infection with a microbial pathogen. Septic arthritis is pyogenic infection of the joint either due to direct extension from local tissue infection or more commonly as a result of bacteremia. Microbiological diagnosis in these cases can be made by culture on enriched media and PCR. As PCR detects bacterial DNA, it does not rely on the presence of viable bacteria in the sample for identification. The rapidity of PCR along with its higher sensitivity and specificity enables faster and more accurate diagnosis and treatment

Use of Solar Cell for Solar Energy Conversion in Electrical
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 680-686
It is expected that in the year 2050, all together the consumption of the energy is going to rise up to 22Gtoe every year from 10Gtoe every year which is energy consumption of the present time. Nearly 70% of this total energy is contributed by the fossil fuels that include coal and oil each of 26% and also the natural gas which contributes about 18% and the non fossil sources (equally divided between renewable and nuclear energy) contributes 30% of this total energy that is consumed every year at present. In the developing regions of the globe, the demand of the energy is growing rapidly where the basic requirement of the energy is not fulfilled satisfactorily. After the year 2010, in the developing countries the energy consumption will go beyond that of the developed world and 2/3 of total world in the year 2050. In India, the issue of the securities of energy is as same as of oil securities for the country. In India, when the geo-political implication of the increased requirement for “hydrocarbons” and the dependency of the country on its oil resources are important, the matter of the security of the energy should be kept at priority for “energy supplies,” “commercial,” and “non commercial” and it should not be stopped by just thinking about the availability of the hydrocarbon only. The requirement of our energy is increasing by 5.4 billion kW every year and the non commercial energy as “biomass,” “fuel wood,” and “animal waste” that is nearly 1/4th of the total requirement of the primary energy. There are some technologies that can be renewed are becoming viable for the commercial purposes and it is found that renewable can play a key part to provide electricity in the rural areas and if grab these opportunities the technology will be harnessed. The need of technological power covers the complete range of renewable forms of energy like “solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, solar hydro, bio-energy, ocean energy, etc.” The conservation of the energy is other crucial matter and number of ways is used for so many years for this, especially in respect of oils but it was not successful. Therefore, so as to meet up the “energy security” and the concerns of “climate change,” it is very important to address the issues like “rational energy pricing, energy efficiency, and new technology trusts.”
Identification of Lysenin Protein Function in Coelomic Fluid Of Eudrilus Eugeniae
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 687-696
The coelomic fluid (CF) is the body fluid present in the space between the body wall and gut in the earthworms. The earthworm’s coelomic fluid contains various molecules and exhibits important biological properties such as antimicrobial substances, hemagglutination and anticoagulant agents. The coelomic fluid of earthworm possesses primary function that has the ability to destroy the membranes of foreign cells. It is a mechanism that leads to cell death by the release of cytosol and attributes coelomocytes which secretes humoral effectors into the coelomic fluid. In this work, bacterial cultures namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis were injected into the earthworm body cavity. Then the coelomic fluid extract from the bacteria injected earthworms were collected out. The extracted coelomic fluids were partially purified and precipitated using ammonium sulphate and analyzed to biological activities such as antibacterial activity, proteases activity and heamolytic activity. Then the active compounds present in the coelomic fluids were analysed to FTIR, HPLC and LCMS. This concludes that the microbes introduced into the earthworm body containing coelomic fluids have lysenin protein that inhibits antibacterial, protease and haemolytic activity. Hence the induction of bacterial cultures Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis into the earthworm’s body cavity leads to the secretion of lysenin protein in the coelomic fluid of earthworms. Thus the presence of proteins presence in the coelomic fluid can be used for pharmaceutical purposes.
Elder Abuse
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 697-702
Elder abuse comprises physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation, neglect, and abandonment. Perpetrators include youngsters, different members of the family, and spouses furthermore as stat at nursing homes, aided living, and different facilities. Abuse will happen to anyone regardless of the person's age, sex, race, religion, or ethnic or cultural background. Each year, many thousands of adults over the age of sixty are abused, neglected, or financially exploited. This can be known as elder abuse. Abuse will happen in several places, as well as the older person's home, a family member's house, a power-assisted living facility, or a institution. Abuse is one among the deviant behavior, that has the intention to harm either physically, mentally, emotion and sexually. this paper, mentioned the various forms of abuses likewise elder abuse, Signs and risk factors of elder abuse and Prevention of elderly abuse.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 713-726
The objective of this work was to determine the level of anxiety and aggressiveness in
graduate students from a private university in Lima; likewise, establish the level of
association between the variables under study in the COVID-19 context.
Methodology: quantitative approach, non-experimental descriptive cross-sectional
design; population made up of 378 graduate students from the César Vallejo
University (San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima-Peru Campus). Non-probabilistic sample
of 203 doctoral students from the mentioned university. The instrument used to
measure state anxiety and trait anxiety was the STAI “State-trait Anxiety inventory”
and the Buss and Perry aggressiveness questionnaire (AQ). Results: 84.7% of the
participants presented a high level of state anxiety, while 44.3% presented a trait
anxiety above the average; on the other hand, 60.6% showed a low level of
aggressiveness. The Chi-squared test showed a significant association between the
variable state anxiety and aggressiveness at a confidence level of p = 0.008 ˂ 0.05;
Likewise, the association between trait anxiety and aggressiveness showed a
confidence level of p = 0.009 ˂ 0.05. Conclusions: As a consequence of the
confinement caused by COVID-19, the levels of state anxiety and trait anxiety
increased, which is probably associated with the increase in aggressiveness in its
different variants.

Significance of Serum Samples for Protein Studies
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 740-749
Serum proteins also known as blood or plasma proteins are proteins present in
blood that serve many different functions, including transport of lipids, hormones,
vitamins, and minerals in the circulatory system and the regulation of acellular activity
and functioning of the immune system. Other blood proteins act as enzymes, complement
components, protease inhibitors, or kinin precursors. Although serum proteins have very
high concentrations, they exhibit an uneven distribution in terms of composition. That is,
only about 22 proteins account for 99% of all the serum proteins. These include serum
albumin, globulins, and fibrinogen. The remainder 1% of blood proteins is composed of
low abundance circulatory proteins, as well as proteins secreted by live, apoptotic, and
necrotic cells. Most blood proteins are secreted by the liver and intestines except for the
gamma globulins, which are synthesized by the immune system. In this study we aimed to
analyse the serum samples taken from gastric cancer patients and compared with healthy
serum samples. We estimated the serum samples using Bradford method of protein
estimation and performed SDS PAGE analysis. This article highlights the importance of
serum sample collection, handling and storage with respect to consideration towards
protein-based studies using serum samples.
Comparative Evaluation Of Endodontically Treatedteeth Reinforced With Bendable Titanium Post And Straight Titanium Post- An In-vitro Study
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 750-759
Trauma and decay are often associated with an extensive loss of tooth structure, requiring a
restoration for aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of the tooth. Often caries leads to loss of
tooth structure and vitality of the pulp. Endodontic treatment is necessary in such cases.
Adequate anchorage for restoration cannot be achieved if a significant amount of coronal section
of the tooth is lost i.e. when only one wall or no wall is remaining. To increase the retention of
the restoration post and core treatment is required.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 855-862
The lifetime of anal intercourse increased from 27% to 36%. It has been widely assumed to be
one of the major causes of fecal incontinence. Heterosexual anal intercourse is rarely
discussed in the scientific literature.
In this descriptive cross-sectional observational study, we reviewed fecal incontinency in
patients who came to Tehran Legal Organization from January to November 2019 and have
complaints of AnoReceptive Intercourse(ARI).
The mean age of patients was 29.18±10.5 years old. The mean Wexner score was 4.78±4.6.
The most common type of anal intercourse was unwanted (47%). Thirty-two patients of 40
patients had a gap in their external anal sphincter in endo anal sonography. Stool consistency
divided into 3 groups as the most common was soft (70%). There was also no difference in
Wexner score between patients who had gaps in their ext anal sphincter and those who had
not.

Immune Response Mechanism of the Gingival Epithelium in the Tissue Repair Exposed to Porphyromonasgingivalis Toxin on Topical Administration of Nigella sativa Extract
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 886-898
Background and Objectives: Periodontal disease is not the typical cause of pain experienced by sufferers. This discomfort is commonly observed in advanced stage. P. gingivalisbacteria infections, and Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) have been identified as the main virulence factors. Furthermore, numerous attempts have been exploited during treatment with unsatisfactory outcomes, including the administration of local or systemic antibiotics, periodontal curettage and flap surgery. Therefore, early prevention is one of the effective and efficient approaches, particularly involving the use of medical plants, and the natural material selected was black cumin (Nigella Sativa). The aim of this research, therefore, is to investigate the effects of Nigella sativa extract against the inflammation reaction and beta defensin-2 (BD-2) mechanism in gingival epithelium exposed to P. gingivalis LPS. Materials and Methods: This is an experimental research performed in the laboratory, using Randomized Posttest-Only Control Group Design. The animals used include white 45 Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) randomly allocated to 3 research groups, comprising K (LPS P. gingivalis), P1 (N. sativa extract + LPS), and P2 (LPS + N. sativa). Furthermore, each set was subsequently divided into 3 on the basis of time span, at 4, 7, and 21 days. The tissue expressions of BD-2, and MMP-8 were examined using immunohistochemical techniques. Results: This investigation showed a significant difference between K, P1, and P2 groups at any span of time. Moreover, lower MMP-8 expression were observed in the P1 and P2 groups, compared to K on day 4, 7, and 21, while the BD-2 expression was higher in P1 (31.3) and P2 (32.2) than K (19.8). Conclusion: Based on the study results, Nigella sativa was determined to be capable of decreasing MMP-8 expressions, and increase BD-2, as part of the host innate response.
Disinfectants and Sprayers for Prevention of COVID-19 Pandemic in India
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 899-912
A novel coronavirus (nCoV), originating from Wuhan, China had begun as an epidemic in
December 2019, declared as a pandemic in March and reiterated the call for countries to
go for lock down mode and other strict measures. With the onset of winter, the threat of 2nd
wave of infection is looming large over the Northern Hemisphere of the World. Virus is
mainly transmitted through droplets and then by touching contaminated surfaces and
mucous membranes with the hands. Though the virus survives on environmental surfaces
for varied period of time; it gets easily inactivated by biological or chemical disinfectants.
Alcohol based disinfectants viz. hand disinfectants, sprayers, mist blowers, cannon, and
butterfly sprinklers etc. act as vital component in controlling the pandemic disease.
Various biological and physical measures, such as self-disinfectant surfaces, UV-C
sterilization, cold plasma technique etc. will assist in disinfecting the surfaces and
materials. With unlocking underway, fast disinfection of the office space, meeting room,
marketing spaces and even the areas in contaminant zones need quick disinfection through
various sprayers, blowers and drones. This review emphasizes on the ongoing efforts to
prevent the transmission of COVID-19 and can guide the public health responses,
particularly in India.
Formulation and evaluation of nanosuspension for enhancing the solubility of poorly soluble Antihyperlipidemic Drugs
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 913-928
Gemfibrozil is a lipid regulating agent that decreases serum triglycerides and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol and increases high‑density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
According to the Biopharmaceutical Classification System, GEM is classified under class‑II drugs.Class‑II drugs are the drugs with poor solubility and high permeation in the human body and pose problems in their pharmaceutical product development process. The aim
of this work is to prepare GEM nanosuspensions using a precipitation ultrasonication method to increase its water solubility. The prepared nanosuspension was evaluated for Percent transmitance and in vitro dissolution. A Box behnken design was employed to study the effect of the independent variables i.e drug concentration in organic phase (mg/ml) at levels 20, 50 and 80 mg/ml (X1), Polyvinyl alcohol concentration at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 % (X2) and Sonication time at levels 10, 20 and 30 minutes (X3) on the dependent variables (i.e., percentage of drug released after 90min).The resulting data were fitted into Design Expert software and analysed statistically using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The data were also subjected to 3-D response surface methodology to determine the influence of concentration of Drug , PVA concentration and sonication time on dependent variable.The results show that nanosuspensions prepared with the higher concentrations of drug , the higher quantities of PVA and higher sonication time reduced the particle size and enhanced the dissolution rate of the formulation. The dissolution rate of the optimized nanosuspension Formulation was enhanced (96.2% in 90 min) mainly because of the formation of nanosized particles. The particle size of optimized nanosuspension was 191.0 nm and zeta potential was -12mV which is enough for sufficient electrostatic stabilization of Gemfibrozil nanosuspension. The X-ray powder diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry results indicated that the amorphization of gemfibrozil ra crystal and convert into nanocrystalline form and presence of drug. Conclusively, nanosuspension of gemfibrozil prepared using precipitation ultrasonication method showed improved solubility as compare with pure gemfibrozil.
Keywords: Gemfibrozil, Nanosuspension, Precipitation-ultrasonication method, particle size, Solubility, bioavailability.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 939-947
Relevance. At present, although significant progress has been made in the field of early detection of congenital malformations and conservative treatment, a large number of patients with this pathology remain untreated in a timely manner. In 10-15% of patients treated conservatively with congenital malformations of the thighs, the need for surgical treatment arises. Purpose of the study. It consists of studying the causes of complications observed during long periods of treatment of patients treated surgically on congenital malformations of the thighs and looking for measures to prevent them. In such cases, depending on the age of the patients and the severity of the discharge, surgical procedures are performed, ranging from simple open placement to repair and opening of the proximal part of the femur and the roof of the joint.This article presents the results of surgical treatment performed for 111 children with congenital hip dislocation. After 30 years, the long term results of the intervention were studied in 76 (68.5%) patients. According to observation, 22(28.9%) patients and 31(40.8%) patients demonstrated good and satisfactory long term results respectively. While results of surgical treatment for 23(30.3%) patients estimated as unsatisfactory. Identified the causes of unsatisfactory results and preventive measures were recommended.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 948-953
In the postresuscitation period through the I-II-III-IV-V-stages and long-term periods (1 and 3 months) of postresuscitation illness, when modeling a 10-minute clinical death, we studied the relationship between the reactivity of the autonomic nervous system and the morphofunctional activity of neurosecretory cells of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus of white mature rats - males, weighing 180-220 grams, who underwent a 10-minute arrest of systemic circulation (clamping of the vascular bundle of the heart according to the method of V.G. Korpachev). Sham-operated animals served as control. Physiological, morphological, morphometric, histochemical, cytophotometric studies of the state of reactivity of the autonomic nervous system and morphofunctional activity of neurosecretory cells of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus were carried out. We used image analysis using a Leiss microscope with an electronic micro-attachment connected to an Intel computer, and the content of neurosecretory substances was studied using a cytophotometer. In the postresuscitation period, during stage I, hyperhydration of the cytoplasm of neurosecretory cells of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus was revealed against the background of the predominance of the tone of the parasympathetic nervous system. During stage II of the predominance of the tone of the parasympathetic nervous system, starting from stage III of the disease, against the background of the predominance of the tone of the sympathetic nervous system, hyperhydration of the nuclei of neurosecretory cells of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus is observed with an increase in the release of neurosecret into the blood, i.e., compensatory-adaptive reactions were observed. Compensatory-restorative processes with a shift towards depletion of neurosecretory cells of the arcuate nucleus were observed starting from stage IV and in the remote periods of postresuscitation disease against the background of the predominance of the tone of the sympathetic nervous system and overhydration of the nuclei.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 954-957
In the early postresuscitation period, we studied the relationship of neurosecretory cells of the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus with the B and D basophilic cells of the adenohypophysis in the early stages (I-II-III stages) of postresuscitation disease in animals that underwent a 5-minute clinical death by clamping the vascular bundle of the heart using method B G. Korpacheva (1982). Sham-operated animals served as control. Physiological, morphological, morphometric, histochemical studies and morphofunctional activity of neurosecretory cells of the supraoptic and arcuate nuclei of the hypothalamus, as well as Band D-basophilic cells of the adenohypophysis were carried out. We used image analysis using a Leiss microscope with an electronic micro-attachment connected to an Intel computer, and the content of neurosecretory substances was studied using a cytophotometer. In the early postresuscitation period (stages I-II), there is an increase in morphofunctional activity, which is more pronounced in the NSC SOY, ARN and D-basophilic cells of the adenohypophysis, at the III-stage post-resuscitation disease, there is a further increase in the morphofunctional

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1016-1025
Glibenclamide is a BCS class II oral hypoglycemic agent that is widely indicated for the
management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and has the ability to pass through the gastrointestinal
mucosa. The need to rapidly maintain glucose levels in the body is subject to design systems
that can release drugs into the systemic circulation in a very short time. The present study
attempts to prepare glibenclamide loaded mouth dissolving films (GMDFs) using xanthan
gum, as it forms polymers for rapid absorption of the drug in systemic circulation. The solvent
casting method was used to produce oral disruptive film containing glibenclamide. All
formulations exhibited instant release drug release, rapid dissolution and optimal mechanical
strength. The GMDF3 formulation exhibited the highest drug content (96.1±5.89) and all
aggregates were found to decompose within 40 seconds. The GMDF1, GMDF2 and GMDF3
formulas were able to release 97, 96 and 98% 10 drugs at the end of 10 minutes, respectively,
while GMDF4 and GMDF5 were able to release 94 and 90%, respectively. The results of rapid

NEED OF VITAMIN D BEYOND BONE: A CONSISE REVIEW.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1096-1109
Vitamin D is also known as calciferol because of its role in calcium metabolism and antirachitic factor because it prevents rickets. It is a modified steroid, synthesised in the skin under the influence of sunlight and is necessary for metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. Its RDA is 400 IU or 10 mg, it binds to the receptor of target cells and regulate through gene expression. Vitamin D undergoes hydroxylation in the liver to form 25 hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH) vitamin D]. The two main forms are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). The main source of vitamin D in humans is in the form of vitamin D3, which is derived from synthesis in the skin via exposure of 7- dehydrocholesterol, concentrated in the stratum basale and stratum spinosum, to ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation. Vitamin D2 is obtained from the diet, and is derived from ultraviolet irradiation of ergosterol, found in fungi. Both metabolites are transported in the blood bound to vitamin D binding protein (DBP). These inactive vitamin D metabolites must undergo a two-step hydroxylation process to become biologically active. Initially, vitamin D2 and D3 undergo hydroxylation in the maternal liver, via the action of vitamin D 25-hydroxylase enzyme (CYP27A1), to form the inactive steroid precursor 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D). 25[OH]D is the major circulating and stored form of vitamin D. In this present review we have focused on need of vitamin D beyond bone.

Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices about Biomedical Waste Management among Nursing Professionals in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Bhubaneswar,Odisha.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1127-1142
Biomedical waste (BMW) management is an issue of major concern of all healthcare providers and healthcare establishments as the waste produced during the course of healthcare activities carries potential for infection and injury than any other type of waste. Biomedical waste management has recently emerged as an issue of present concern not only to hospitals, nursing home authorities but also to the environment. The bio-medical wastes generated from health care units depend upon a number of factors such as waste management methods, type of health care units, occupancy of healthcare units, specialization of healthcare units, ratio of reusable items in use, availability of infrastructure and resources etc. The proper management of biomedical waste has become a worldwide humanitarian topic today. Many studies across the country have shown that there are still deficiencies in the Knowledge, attitude and practices of the health care professionals in the organizations. Hence, A cross sectional study was carried out to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices regarding biomedical waste management among nursing professionals in a tertiary care hospital Bhubaneswar, Odisha. With due consideration to nursing personnel’s availability, accessibility, feasibility, and resources, we decided to include (n=100) of them in our study. The number of nursing personnel was selected by simple random sampling in their respective department/specialty. A pretested self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge, practices and attitude of the nursing personnel regarding biomedical waste management. Overall, the knowledge, attitudes and practices towards biomedical waste management among the nursing professionals were satisfactory. Complete hepatitis B vaccine coverage among nurses (100%) in our study is attributed to hospital policy of free immunization to high risk groups. Such policy decisions do have a positive impact on work efficiency of nurses by creating a sense of being protected.

Background: Gingivitis is the most common forms of periodontal disease seen among all age groups. It is an inflammation of gingiva without any destruction of underlying periodontal structures. Deficiency of coenzyme Q10 in the gingival tissues may lead to gingivitis. Therefore, this study was undertaken to evaluate the anti- gingivitis effect of Co enzyme Q10 as a dentifrice. Methods: Thirty patients were enrolled in the double blinded randomized controlled trial wherein 15 patients were allocated in test group and 15 patients in control group. For each patient scaling was performed and Co enzyme Q10 dentifrice given in test group and Colgate advanced dentifrice in control group and plaque index(PI), gingival index(GI) and bleeding index(BI) scores were recorded at baseline and 30 days. Results: Marked reduction of Plaque index, Gingival index, and Bleeding Index were observed after 30 days in both the groups. But, there is no statistically significant difference was observed in both the groups after 30 days. Conclusions: It can be concluded from the current study that Coenzyme Q10 has potential for reducing the gingival inflammation, when used in the form of dentifrice. No sideeffects were noted in any of the patients. Therefore, future studies are required for testing the antiplaque and anti-gingivitis efficacy of Co enzyme Q10.

Staphylococcus aureus: An Overview of Discovery, Characteristics, Epidemiology, Virulence Factors and Antimicrobial Sensitivity
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1160-1183
Staphylococcus aureus is an important infectious pathogen in health sector and communities. S. aureus was first described by the Scottish surgeon Alexander Ogaston in surgical abscess in 1881. It causes various infections ranged between simple to life threating infections. Owing potent toxins and other virulence factors enabled the bacteria to be very virulent. Additionally, acquisition of antimicrobial resistant genes increased the challenge in treating the infections caused by bacteria especially methicillin resistant S. aureus strains (MRSA) that are often multidrug resistant strains. The circulation of MRSA between health settings and communities resulted in changing even the genetic map for the strains in both places. Vancomycin was used for years and still acts as the drug of choice for treating MRSA infections but recently the resistance to vancomycin has risen and vancomycin resistant S. aureus were recorded. Consequently, different regimes were used like combination of antibiotics to reduce the resistance rate to antibiotics if they were used as a single drug and practiced the control measures at health settings to reduce the spread of MRSA strains. At last, global health organizations call for research and finding new antibiotics agents and put MRSA on the top list of infectious agents that need more antibiotics.

FORMATION OF HERD IMMUNITY TO SARS-CoV-2 IN THE REGIONS OF UZBEKISTAN.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1247-1252
6 months after the start of the COVID-19 epidemic in Uzbekistan, a comparative analysis of the reported incidence of COVID-19 and the level of herd immunity to SARS-CoV- 2 was carried out. The registration of patients with COVID-19 in the country was carried out on the basis of the positive results of the examination for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, using the PCR method. To study herd immunity, the WanTai SARS-CoV-2 Ab Rapid test (China) was used to detect total antibodies (IgM and IgG) in blood. In the period from August 27, 2020 to September 11, 2020, in all 14 administrative-territorial regions of Uzbekistan, blood samples of 86879 people who sought medical help at an outpatient clinic at their place of residence were tested for the presence of total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. According to official figures, 0.14% of the population were infected with COVID-19. The proportion of the population with the presence of specific protective antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus was 23.1%. This proves that the actual incidence of COVID-19, on the national average, was at least 165 times higher than officially reported. An uneven territorial distribution of the level of herd immunity was revealed. All regions were conditionally divided into 3 zones: 1) regions with a high level of herd immunity ˃ 20% (8 regions), 2) regions with an average level of herd immunity ˂ 20% and ˃ 10% (3 regions), 3) regions with a low the level of herd immunity ˂ 10% (3 regions). The degree of population affected in different regions of the county did not depend on the population density in the region, its age and gender composition. It was shown that the factors that influenced the intensity of the epidemic process and the formation of the level of herd immunity were the degree of external and internal migration.
EFFICIENCY OF MICROCURRENT REFLEXOTHERAPY IN CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1253-1262
Childhood autism is one of the topical health problems in the world, which is determined not
so much by the frequency of childhood autism (СHA) in the child population - from 4 to 26
per 10,000 children [3, 8, 15], but by the social significance and insufficient knowledge of the
etiology and pathogenesis this disease [2, 9, 10]. Today, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are
widely regarded as neurodevelopmental disorders implying a sharply disharmonious
development of the brain and the formation of neural connections [6, 13]. Despite the increase
in the incidence of these types of disorders, the awareness of the public and specialists about
the problem is extremely low [5, 11].

Risk Factors of Miscarriage in Malaria- Endemic Region: A Case-Control Study in Eastern Indonesia
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1281-1292
Background: To date, there are still 242 districts in Indonesia which remain
endemic for malaria, mostly in the eastern region of the country. East Nusa
Tenggara Province is one of the regions with the highest Annual Parasite
Incidence (API) per 1,000 population, with none of the districts or cities being
able to achieve malaria elimination even once. Hence, most of the pregnant
women who live in the Asia-Pacific countries are at risk of Plasmodium vivax
infection. There is also a notion that malaria infection could increase the risk of
miscarriage. Therefore, we aimed to assess the risk factors of miscarriage in the
malaria-endemic regions in Eastern Indonesia.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted using data from the previous
malaria study in East Nusa Tenggara. This study included 37 respondents with
a history of miscarriage and 74 control subjects matched by age (±5 years) and

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1306-1317
The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize the phage for use as a potential
biological control agent against Escherichia coli O157: H7. A standard strain of E coli O157:
H7 (NCTC 12900, China) was used to isolate the lytic phage from bovine faeces and raw
wastewater. The spot-assay test was used to check phage activity. Characterization of phage
isolates included phage resistance to acidity and alkalinity, electron microscopy and PCR
assay for stx1, stx2, and cI genes. Isolate phages were tested where a cocktail was
administered to treat mice that was given a single oral dose (108 CFU) of Escherichia coli
(O157: H7) (NTCC 12900). Three phages (P1, P3, P4) were successfully isolated from the
sewage samples as they showed strong lytical activity against E. coli O157: H7 (NCTC 12900).
The P1 and P4 phages had icosahedral head and a long, flexible, thin, inelastic tail with the
tail fibers while the P3 phage had a less rigid, long and relatively thick tail with the tail fibers.
All phages found are resistant to pH 4-9. The PCR results revealed the absence of genomic
coding for stx1, stx2, and cI in the isolated phages. All mice treated with the phage gave a
negative result for culture of Escherichia coli O157: H7.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1389-1399
Antimicrobial barriers are made of polymers of cationic functional groups.PolymerMembrane filtration is considered as highly effective method for removing particles, organic matter, and microorganisms from drinking water.These membranes are usually made from copolymers. In the present work, fabrication of a copolymer membrane wasdone first and a portion of the copolymer's nitrile groups is converted to amidoxime groups through the amidoximation process. After that the mebrane was treated with HA in an aqueous solution at 60-80°C to form an Amidoximated film. These fabricated and specially synthesized copolymer film after the treatment with Nano Silver particles were then studied for its efficacy as antibacterial water disinfectant. Several techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (EDX), Thermogravimetric analysis, Scanning Electron Microscope, and Transmission Electron Microscope were used to characterize the virgin and amidoximated acrylic copolymer membranes. Many significant changes in the copolymer properties, such as functionality, crystallinity, thermal activity, hydrophilicity, elemental composition, and surface morphology, were observed during the amidoximation phase along with their antibacterial activity. It was found that an amidoximated copolymer membrane is more efficient than the untreated membrane in context to its antibacterial activity.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1400-1416
Introduction – Menstruation is the most natural and physiological phenomenon which a female periodically goes through every month. Even today's era witnesses the association of the menstrual phenomenon with stigma and disgrace in several countries. The complete lack of knowledge about this subject which mostly ends up with the rise of myths and taboos in society is even worse. Adolescent girls must get to know about menstruation at an early stage while seeking education during schooling. This study highlights the level of knowledge, menstrual practices adopted and myths and taboos faced by adolescent girls of this area.
Methodology - A cross-sectional study was undertaken among 115 school-going, adolescent girls. The adolescent girls being the respondents agreed to be part of the study and answered questions on the questionnaires which were provided to them. The main objective was to assess the knowledge about menstruation, menstrual hygiene, and the prevalence of various myths and taboos among school girls and their societies. Data analysis was done using SPSS 21.0 software and Chi-squared test with application of the Fisher exact test in few cases. Since 91 out of 115 girls responded, data analysis has been done accordingly for the number of girls who provided response.
Results - Mean age of girls in this study was 13.75 ± 1.62. 64 (70.3%) and 27(29.6%) girls are menstruating and non-menstruating respectively. The most common response given by 43% of girls was that "periods come regularly every month once for 4 -5 days". Mothers in 66% of cases were the first informant about the phenomenon of menstruation followed by lady teachers at school. 73(80%) had prevalent myths and taboos related to menses which was required to be addressed. 47.2% of the girls were demonstrated by their teachers regarding the phenomenon of menstruation at school.
Conclusion - Though many of the girls considered menstruation as a normal and physiological process majority were unaware of the uterus being the actual source of bleeding. Fortunately, teachers are acting as the first informant regarding the phenomenon of menstruation in this study for a high percentage of girls thereby addressing the associated myths and taboos related to the process. Gleefully the menstruating girls attended school regularly which is not affecting their education and learning thereby making them more self-reliant and help in overcoming societal issues and discrimination while addressing the menses process.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1432-1438
The main reason of increasing mortality rate among women is the breast cancer. It makes several hours with the less availability of systems to identify the diagnosis of cancer manually. Hence there is a need to develop an automatic system for early detection of cancer. Several researchers have focused in order to improve performance and achieved to obtain satisfactory results. But unfortunately it will be very difficult to detect the cancer in beginning stages because the symptoms may be inappropriate.Therefore, there is a need to determine and acquire a new knowledge to prevent and minimizing the risk of getting effected with cancer. Machine learning (ML) is algorithms are widely used in detecting breast cancer patterns and predict the grading level. Machine learning techniques can be used to classify the stage of cancer, where machine can be trained from past data and build a model so that it can predict the category of new input.In this paper we used K-nearest neighbors (K-NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) on the dataset collected from UCI repository to detect breast cancerwith respect to the results of accuracy the efficiency of algorithm is also measured and compared.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1481-1491
From the first maternal level up to the delivery, there is high risk in women's health factors. Nowadays, severe maternal problems lead to crucial health issues in pregnant women. These problems may occur either during pregnancy or delivery time or after delivery according to the women health conditions. These crucial issues will become a risk for the mother’s and baby’s life. These maternal conditions during delivery are not easy to detect at the early stage of pregnancy. In this paper, some of the important pregnancy complications are addressed with their symptoms and treatment. Based on the study, different methodologies are discussed to prevent and avoid pregnant women's complications and for childbirth. The main aim of this study is to improve the maternal and fetal outcomes irrespective of the places. In this paper, a sample dataset in India is taken to show the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) by considering the values from the year 2010 to 2030. More analysis of MMR can be done by considering different countries, which will be helpful to solve the occurrence of risk factors either during or after pregnancy. Consequently, this analysis may avoid pregnancy death rates. The main work is to improve the maternal and fetal outcomes by strengthening the pregnant women health. Future work will be applying different machine learning methodologies to detect the risk level of severe maternal morbidity.

FORMATION OF HERD IMMUNITY TO SARS-CoV-2 IN THE REGIONS OF UZBEKISTAN..
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1529-1534
6 months after the start of the COVID-19 epidemic in Uzbekistan, a comparative analysis of the reported incidence of COVID-19 and the level of herd immunity to SARS-CoV-2 was carried out. The registration of patients with COVID-19 in the country was carried out on the basis of the positive results of the examination for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, using the PCR method. To study herd immunity, the WanTai SARS-CoV-2 Ab Rapid test (China) was used to detect total antibodies (IgM and IgG) in blood. In the period from August 27, 2020 to September 11, 2020, in all 14 administrative-territorial regions of Uzbekistan, blood samples of 86879 people who sought medical help at an outpatient clinic at their place of residence were tested for the presence of total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. According to official figures, 0.14% of the population were infected with COVID-19. The proportion of the population with the presence of specific protective antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus was 23.1%. This proves that the actual incidence of COVID-19, on the national average, was at least 165 times higher than officially reported. An uneven territorial distribution of the level of herd immunity was revealed. All regions were conditionally divided into 3 zones: 1) regions with a high level of herd immunity ˃ 20% (8 regions), 2) regions with an average level of herd immunity ˂ 20% and ˃ 10% (3 regions), 3) regions with a low the level of herd immunity ˂ 10% (3 regions). The degree of population affected in different regions of the county did not depend on the population density in the region, its age and gender composition. It was shown that the factors that influenced the intensity of the epidemic process and the formation of the level of herd immunity were the degree of external and internal migration.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1544-1553
Childhood autism is one of the topical health problems in the world, which is determined not so much by the frequency of childhood autism (СHA) in the child population - from 4 to 26 per 10,000 children [3, 8, 15], but by the social significance and insufficient knowledge of the etiology and pathogenesis this disease [2, 9, 10]. Today, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are widely regarded as neurodevelopmental disorders implying a sharply disharmonious development of the brain and the formation of neural connections [6, 13]. Despite the increase in the incidence of these types of disorders, the awareness of the public and specialists about the problem is extremely low [5, 11].

2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1554-1571
Background
Diabetic nephropathy is a major end stage kidney disease and its timely diagnosis helps in combating the morbidity and mortality associated with it, thereby improving the quality of the patients suffering from the condition. Though identification of microalbuminuria has long been used to diagnose the nephropathy among diabetics, there has always a need for sensitive and specific biomarker that could predict the susceptibility of the diabetic patients to develop nephropathy much ahead of the onset of microalbuminuria.
Methods
A prospective study was conducted among 125 diabetic patients at various levels of nephropathy like the normoalbuminuric, microalbuminuric and macroalbuminuric patients and 45 healthy controls based on the Joint Committee of Diabetic Nephropathy Classification. A detailed history, clinical characteristics, duration of illness and other baseline investigations along with urinary podocin, urine nephrin, serum carboxy-methyl lysine levels, glycated albumin, glycaemic control, lipid profile were analyzed among the various nephropathy stages and compared with the controls.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1653-1685
Coronavirus Disease – 2019 (COVID–19) caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV2 has plagued the world in pandemic for the past few months. Currently, many groups are investigating on a potent candidate for treating this highly infectious disease. Phytocompounds from many medicinal plants are reported to possess anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. The current study emphasizes on evaluating the inhibition efficacy of the phytocompounds from Andrographis paniculata against 10 structural and non-structural SARS-CoV2 proteins by virtual screening. Molecular docking, binding interactions, ADME and toxicity profiling of the selected fifty one phytocompounds were analysed and compared against 10 well studied repurposed drugs. The best docked complexes were subjected to MD simulation for 50 nanoseconds and the compound stigmasterol was observed to be outperforming in the simulation studies. We report that A.paniculata constitutes 65.78% druggable phytocompounds against SARS‐CoV2. We found that the two phytosterols, stigmasterol and stigmasta-5,22-dien-3-ol act as potential lead molecules against multiple target proteins of SARS–CoV2. Based on the literature evidence on Andrographis paniculata and our detailed analysis, this plant and its phytocompounds could be repurposed as a potential anti-COVID agent.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1707-1711
In the development of intravascular thrombosis, aggregation of Platelets, adhesion of platelets play themain role in the development of micro vascular and macro vascular complications with alterations in the morphology of the platelets, function. On analyzing the glycemic control, it was found that the mean HbA1C was very high (10.43%, 95% CI 10.06 to 10.81), which indicates that diabetes was poorly controlled. The lowest recorded HbA1C was 10.15% and the highest recorded value was 15.70%. V Mohan et al (2013)(62) published the HbA1C study, which assessed the glycemic status among urban South Indian population. Data from 20,554 patients showed that the mean HbA1c was 9.2%, and diabetes control was worse in those with longer duration of diabetes (9.9 +/- 5.5 years). Other authors from the western countries, including Demirtas L et al (2015) (13)in their study on 307 diabetic subjects reported a mean HbA1C of 8.6 with an IQR of 6.9-10.4 which was much lower. The stark differences in HbA1c may be attributed to the long duration of diabetes, poor compliance of patients to treatment and follow up and associated conditions of healthcare in the rural Indian setting.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1730-1738
This research article utilizes the finite element method of analysis to achieve
the finest throughput of piezoresistive nano cantilever sensor by minimizing the
dimensions of both physical piezoresistor and cantilever. The
750nmx300nmx15nm-sized cantilever is incorporated with 5nm substantial Si as
piezoresistor is used for revision. The proposed cantilever output performance has
been calculated based onsurface stress sensitivity and displacement. A
maximumresultant displacement value of about 12nm for the load of 100pN has
been obtained . The Performance comparison between Polysilicon and SiO2
cantilever has been found out by applied identical load and measured displacement.
Similarly the sensitivity of the cantilever sensor by parametric sweep on thickness is
applied for both cantilever and piezoresistor. The parametric sweep results shows
that the sensitivity of the cantilever is highest when the thickness of both cantilever
and piezoresistoris at the smallest. Poly silicon and SiO2 based cantilevers with the
built-in longitudinal cut at the bottom create stress concentration regions which will
greatly improved sensitivity as high as 13.89% and 31.81% in comparison with
other Non-SCR cantilevers for the proposed design.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1747-1757
Orthodontic treatment plan is incomplete without planning the retention.Usually
post treatment, the teeth tend to move to their earlier position. To prevent the relapse, use of
retainers after orthodontic treatment becomes mandatory. Removable retentive devices facilitate
ease in maintaining good oral hygiene during the treatment1.The most commonly used
removable retainers are theHawleys and Essix retainers. The retainers permit reorganization of
the underlying supportive structures after completion of orthodontic treatment2. They are mostly
made up of either thermoplastic polymer or polymethylmethacrylate acrylic base.3.The selection
of retainers from wide range of retainers available, depends on choice of aesthetic of the patient
and other parameters. Presentlyvacuum formed retainers (VFR) are more commonly used.
Removable orthodontic devices provide a favourable environment for accumulation of microorganisms
and may result in caries, Periodontal diseases and other illnesses.4-7 Most common
bacteria of oral cavity are Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus. Many studies have shown
high level of bacterial accumulation on removable orthodontic appliance

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1758-1769
Present study details the isolation and screening of fungi from marine sediments for the selection of a high potential L-Asparaginase producing strain. The study includes characterization and identification by combination approach and optimization of the process parameters for maximization of L-Asparaginase production by the potential strain. Four fungal strains from twenty three isolates were isolated from different places of marine soils of adavuladeevi which show positive for L-Asparaginase production by producing characteristic pink coloration around the colony. Among isolated fungi tested by plate assay and antibacterial studies, the isolate αAW1- 9 from the marine sediment exhibited the highest zone of diameter (2.5cm) and maximum antibacterial activity against Vibrio cholera (22mm) were considered as the potent strain and were used for further studies. Based on it’s morphological and microscopy characteristics as well as 18S rRNA sequence analysis, the isolate designated as αAW1- 9 were identified as novel Fusarium sporotrichioides strain MT232628. Findings made work hold immense importance for maximum production of L-Asparaginase enzyme after optimization of physico chemical parameters such as optimum incubation period for maximum biomass and L-Asparaginase production of αAW1- 9 were 120h and 48h (1.5g/100ml and 9.87/IU), temperature at 48°C (2.23g/100ml and 39.33/IU), pH 7.0 (2.14mg/100ml and 47.1/IU), lactose (1.92g/100ml and 52.35/IU), yeast extract (2.61mg/100ml and 97.75/IU) were considered to be the ideal conditions. Hence this study opens a new avenue for the researchers and pharmaceutics to pay a wider attention to the enzyme production from marine fungi.
SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF NARINGENIN WITH CONVENTIONAL ANTIBIOTICS AGAINST METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1770-1784
Overcoming resistance to Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is attainable by inhibition of penicillin-binding protein (PBP-2a). Nowadays, natural products are used to enhance the therapeutic potential of drugs. Naringenin, a bioactive flavonoid exhibits potential antibacterial activity. Hence, present study demonstrates it’s potential alone and in combination with β-lactam antibiotics against MRSA.
Individual Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Naringenin and selected antibiotics was determined by agar dilution method in 20 clinical isolates. The anti-bacterial potential of naringenin in combination with the β-lactam drugs was evaluated using checkerboard method and FIC-index was calculated. Effect of naringenin on the expression of PBP-2a was studied using immunoblotting. MIC of naringenin against MRSA was 125μg/ml. On combination of naringenin with oxacillin and cloxacillin, 12 strains showed synergistic effect. All the strains showed indifference effect when naringenin was treated with amoxycillin. Hence, it was found that the susceptibility of MRSA positive strains was augmented in the presence of naringenin. Combination of different drugs with naringenin showed suppression of PBP-2a protein. It is found that combination of naringenin and β-lactam antibiotics intensified the antibacterial property of these drugs. The present study also demonstrates that the mechanism of action of naringenin is dependent on the inhibition of PBP-2a.
ANALYSIS OF THE SELECTION OF THE COVERING MATERIAL FOR THE TREATMENT OF THERMAL BURN OF THE SKIN
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1785-1808
Background: Despite the vast experience of treating burns in surgery, a large number of victims become disabled; therefore they represent a serious medical and social problem.
Methods: The study included 120 white outbred male rats, which were simulated an experimental 3-degree topical burn and were divided into 4 groups according to the type of treatment substance. The burn was simulated by immersing the depilated skin area in boiling water. Studies of wound healing were carried out in three series, respectively, on the third, seventh and tenth days.
Results: We found that the local application of chitosan derivatives at an early stage leads to healing of the wound defect in rats in our experimental model. This was associated with a decrease in endogenous intoxication, lipoperoxidation, and internucleosomal degradation compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Thermal damage is accompanied by increased internucleosomal skin degradation. Compared with levomecol, chitosan derivatives more effectively reduce the degree of internucleosomal degradation, especially on the 10th day of the experiment.

Results: out of 89, males were 49 and females were 40. Autonomic dysfunction was constipation in 42, urinary symptoms in 34, sexual dysfunction in 28 and postural giddiness in 53 patients. Non- motor symptoms was sleep disorder in 23, depression in 38, pain in 21, olfactory dysfunction in 45 and cognitive dysfunction in 61. Glycated hemoglobin <5.7% was seen in 18, 5.7- 6.4 % in 23 and >6.5% in 48. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: Poor glycemic control was found in most of patients with PD.
ASSOCIATION OF DUAL ENDOCRINOPATHY WITH SEVERITY OF PREECLAMPSIA - A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1867-1877
Introduction: Hypertensive disorders complicate 5-10 percent of all pregnancies and contributes greatly to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Women with gestational diabetes are at increased risk of preeclampsia and worsens the fetal prognosis. Thyroid hormones seem to be important in placentation and regulation of early pregnancy, partly explaining the association between hypothyroidism and preeclampsia. Incidence of both hypothyroidism and gestational diabetes was found significantly higher in women with Preeclampsia Induced Hypertension. There are few studies worldwide to establish the association between Preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism in pregnancy. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the association of dual endocrinopathy in pregnancy with severity of preeclampsia. Study Design: Prospective Observational Cross-sectional Study Material and Methods: 400 patients who met inclusion criteria and consented for the study were recruited in the study from November 2015 to October 2016 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology , SMGS Hospital, Govt Med College Jammu. All patients underwent relevant blood and urine tests. They were grouped into 2 groups – mild and severe preeclampsia. The association of two groups with dual endocrinopathy (hypothyroidism and gestational diabetes mellitus) was studied. Statistical analysis: Chi-square test was employed to determine association of dual endocrinopathy with severity of preeclampsia. P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In this study, majority of patients i.e. 70.50% (282 out of 400) were in the mild preeclampsia group and only 29.50% (118 out of 400) were in the severe preeclampsia group. According to present study, 14.4 % of severe preeclampsia patients had dual endocrinopathy while only 7.8 % of mild preeclampsia patients had dual endocrinopathy. This association was calculated using Chi-Square Test and was statistically significant (P value = 0.042).

Impact of Armed Conflict on Mental Health, Educational Access and Reduction among Children in Kashmir
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1892-1907
Children in conflict countries are exposed to difficulties with an austere point of view for
their future. People residing in conflict-affected areas are denied their right to education,
admittance to aptitudes and information, and the path to a superior life for themselves and
their country. The present investigation is descriptive. In the current examination, the
investigator studied recent related literature and secondary data extensively like books, ebooks,
journals, editorials, and other reliable sources, which put forwarda more prominent
understanding of all possible and practical aspects of the research problem at hand.The
exploration reveals that conflict has taken a heavy toll on children and their right to
education concerning mental and physical health, school attendance, school closure, and
schooling capacity reduction. In addition to that, appalling levels of massacring,
mutilating, recruitment and denial of humanitarian access, committing rape and other
forms of sexual violence, engaging in attacks on schools; and abducting children in armed
conflict situations came under the domain of violations against children

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1930-1945
In December 2019, several cases of “unknown viral pneumonia” have been reported which were initially linked to the exposure at the Huanan Seafood Market, Wuhan, China (1). In January 2020, a novel coronavirus was detected (Fig. 1), capable of infecting humans and termed COVID-19(2). By the 11th of March 2020, therewere 80,955 confirmed cases inside China and 37,367 with COVID-19 globally (3). Common symptoms of COVID-19 include dry cough, fever and fatigue. The current official incubation period of COVID-19 is between 2 and 14 days.
Autophagy as a molecular target for cancer treatment
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1946-1962
Autophagy is a progressive conserved catabolic mechanism, by which eukaryotic cells recycle or degrades internal constituents through the membrane-trafficking pathway. Thus, autophagy provides the cells with a sustainable source of biomolecules and energy for the maintenance of homeostasis under stressful conditions such as tumor microenvironment.It is generally believed that modulating autophagic activity, through targeting specific regulatory actors in the core autophagy machinery, may impact disease processes. Both autophagy upregulation and down regulation have been found in cancers, suggesting its dual oncogenic and tumor suppressor properties during malignant transformation. Identification of the key autophagy targets is essential for the development of new therapeutic agents. In this review the two-faced role of autophagy in cancer as a tumor suppressor or as a pro-oncogenic mechanism discussed and the shared regulatory pathways that play a role in autophagy and malignant transformationillustrated. Finally, anti-cancer therapeutic agents used as either inhibitors or inducers of autophagy have been discussed.
Role of Autophagy in Psoriasis
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1963-1978
Autophagy is a complicated cellular mechanism that maintains cellular and tissue homeostasis and integrity via degradation of senescent, defective subcellular organelles, infectious agents, and misfolded proteins. Accumulating evidence has shown that autophagy is involved in numerous immune processes, such as removal of intracellular bacteria, cytokine production, auto antigen presentation, and survival of lymphocytes, indicating an apparent and important role in innate and adaptive immune responses. Current studies indicate that autophagy is important for the regulation of inflammation through disruption of multiple steps of inflammasome activation, therefore preventing inflammation.
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease that affects approximately 2% of the population worldwide. Importantly, studies have shown that constitutive granular layer autophagy is deregulated in psoriasis patients. Moreover, autophagy could down regulate pro-inflammatory cytokine production, exert a protective role in inflammatory diseases, and clear cellular materials such as damaged mitochondria to maintain cellular homeostasis; all these effects play a supporting role in the protection against inflammation associated skin diseases. In psoriasis, autophagy may reduce inflammation and proliferation of keratinocytes and may also promote bacterial clearance.hemistepsin A, lupiwighteone may be promising therapeutic targets in psoriasis treatment

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1979-1991
Background/Aims:Some studies had suggested that neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) levels grow with
the increase of nerve conduction velocity (NCV). Recently, several studies found that vitamin (D)
deficiency can cause the risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complication including neuropathy.The
aim of our study is to evaluate the association betweenNLR, vitamin (D) deficiency and development of
peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients.
Methods: In cross sectional study we selected a total of 60 T2DM patients.All patients underwent nerve
conduction study (NCS). Then we divided them according to the results into two groups, 45 patients with
DPN and 15 patients without DPN as a control group.DPN group wassubdivided according to NCS
results into three groups,11 patients with mononeuropathy,4 patients with mononeuropathy multiplex
and30 patients with polyneuropathy. We evaluated the effect of DPN in these patients as regarded NCS
results on HbA1c levels, NLR and vitamin (D) levels.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 1992-2008
Job embeddedness is a new construct in the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP). This
paper aims to investigate the association between organizational commitment (OC)
and job satisfaction (JS) among police officers in Royal Malaysia Police (RMP)
through the mediating role of job embeddedness (JE). This study used the analysis
concept from the survey. The data was collected from 309 traffic police officers
currently working in Kuala Lumpur. The results show that JE mediates the
relationship between OC and JS. Hence, JE is a crucial factor that is needed to
assist OC and JS in improving police officers' performance.
Predictive study of the end of the Covid-19 pandemic in Morocco by regression, and ARIMA modeling (p, d, q)
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2009-2018
Objective and methods: The objective of our study is to provide forecasts on the key data of the
epidemiological situation in Morocco in order to predict the number of beds in hospitals.The data sources
used in this study are official and they were daily collected updated with information from the Moroccan
Ministry of Health at 6:00 p.m. before the month of Ramadan and 4:00 p.m. for this month.
The autoregressive integrated moving average ARIMA was applied to real-time for the two month
Predictions on the Moroccan population. ARIMA models were able to estimate the number of positive cases
confirmed based on two criteria. The first criterion is to determine the reliability of the statistics and the
second one is to measure the accuracy of forecasting ability of the model equation. The sparse model with
the lowest order of the (AR) or (MA) and (RMSE) values of the forecasts for each dataset was considered the
best.
Result and Conclusion: The ARIMA (1,0,0), ARIMA (9,0,0) and ARIMA (10,0,1) models were deemed to be
the best suited to provide the best possible model to predict the number of positive cases for two months of
prediction of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
However, the ARIMA model (10,0,1) predicts the best model with an expected end of home confinement at
the end of June 2020 with an epidemiological peak of 5000 accumulated cases caused by the coronavirus
disease 2019 (Covid-19) on 13/05/2029.The models were able to predict the number of confirmed cases of the
coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) within a range of two months in Morocco. Thus, it can be a useful tool
for health officials to improve management of the fight against the pandemic and to warn in advance of the
spread of the pandemic.
Internal control, a lever for good governance of public companies: Case of morocco
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2019-2034
Control in a broad sense is often defined as a tool for good governance within the company,
particularly that belonging to the public sphere, where the concept of control is often
synonymous with a structural or even regulatory obligation to be observed, particularly at the
level of the public structure.The purpose of this article is to highlight, the main attributes
defining the mode of control within public structures, particularly in the Moroccan context.
Also, it is proposed to examine the positioning of internal control at the level of the national
and international context and its evolution within the public entity in Morocco.
Accordingly, a first section is devoted to a clarification of the concept of governance and a
lever value creation. At the second, the context related to internal control at the level of public
organizations in Morocco is presented. Then, a close look is taken at the concept of Control as
an elementary axis of enlightened and performance-oriented governance. On another level,
with regard to the public structure in Morocco, a presentation of the evolution of the concept
is exposed, complemented in the last part by a review of the regulatory and organizational
framework governing the management of the public portfolio

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2047-2053
The use of sustainable, natural fiber as reinforcement for fabrication of lightweight and low cost composites is
increasingly popular in the engineering fields and it is very important to characterize their mechanical properties unde r different conditions such as varying loading speed. In this present work, the effects of strain rate on the tensile properties of basal t fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) were investigated. These composites were fabricated hand layup with 12 layer of Basal t fiber Woven Fabric Twill with the ratio of weights of fiber is 50%. Tensile tests of BFRP specimens were conducted at two strain rates 0.1mm/s and 1mm/s using a servo-hydraulic testing system. The tensile strength and elongation increased with increasing strain rate. Moreover, tensile modulus was independent of varying of strain rate. The experiment tensile results and the finite element an alysis outcomes for BFRP agree with each other, which validates the numerical results .

A New Onset Recurrent Myositis Idiopathic Orbital Inflammation in Adult Male Patient : A Case Report
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2064-2069
Idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) is a benign, non-infective clinical syndrome
characterized by inflammation of the orbit without identifiable local or systemic disorders. Orbital
myositis is one classification of IOI and rare in adult male patients. In this article, we report a 41-yearsold
male who presented to the eye clinic with swollen, redness, pain, chemosis, and squints on his left
eye 2 weeks ago. He had a history of recurrent swollen on his left eyelid and self-treated with
methylprednisolone. Visual acuity on right and left eye were 20/25 and 20/30, respectively. The
intraocular pressure on the right and left eyes were 18 mmHg and 24 mmHg, respectively. No
abnormality in the fundus examination. There was a restriction on the left eye movement to all gaze,
and the eye was fixed to the superior temporal direction. Head MRI-scan showed hypertrophy of the
lateral and medial rectus muscles on the left eye without any other abnormality in the intracranial
cavity. The laboratory examination showed leukocytosis, neutrophilia, lymphopenia, normal thyroid
function, low C-Reactive Protein level, and a negative result for the antinuclear antibody test and antids-
DNA test. The patient was diagnosed with myositis of idiopathic orbital inflammation and was
treated with a high dose of methylprednisolone 1 mg/kg BW/day. Two weeks later, the patient had
improvement in his eye movement and the swollen was resolved. The treatment is still ongoing. Finally,
we can conclude that comprehensive evaluation and treatment with high-dose corticosteroid results in a
better outcome in an adult male patient with myositis IOI.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2070-2083
In this paper, we have extended the concept of contraction by introducing D-
Contraction dened on a family of = of bounded function . Also, a new notion of
xed function has been extended G-metric space. Some xed theorems with illustrate
examples have also been given to verify the eectiveness of our result. In 2019, Vishal
et. al [3] presented some xed function theorems using the notion of xed function
and D-Contraction in complete metric space. Following this concept, a sequence is
constructed in G-metric space with three dierent dose function which converges to
a xed function. An application based on the best approximation of treatment plan
for tumor patients by splitting DDC matrix into three components with three dose
functions.

Background:In a large number of primary percutaneous coronary intervention patients,
angiographic non-reflow and slow flow phenomena are observed in recent developments in
interventional equipment and techniques (PCI). In ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial
Infarction (STEMI), we have investigated clinical, electrocardiographic preoperative
findings that could predict a slow flow / no-reflow in patients treated with PCI, as well as
predictor and effect of slow flux / no-reflow during hospital stays and short-term results.
Aim:Identifying the pre-procedure, clinical, electrocardiographic findings that may predict a
slow flow/no-reflow in PCI-treated STEMI patients and identifying adverse clinical event
predictors while in the hospital and the short-term in a slow flow/no-reflow population.
Patients and Methods:The study included 72 patients divided into 2 groups, slow-flow / nonreflow
group I and normal-flow group II. All were monitored for three months after PCI.
Thrombus Occurrence in Patients with Non-STElevation Myocardial Infarctionand Associated Risk factors
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2107-2115
Background:Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) can be divided into subgroups of ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
(NSTEMI), and unstable angina. ACS carries significant morbidity and mortality and prompt
diagnosis.Thrombus encountered in the setting of acute coronary syndromes has been
correlated with acute complications during the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such
as no-reflow, acute coronary occlusion, and long-term complicationsthat occurs later such as
stent thrombus.
Aim:To identify the electrocardiographic changes and the possible complications associated
with thrombus formation in patients with Non-ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Methods:In this sample, 66 patients were enrolled in 2 groups; Group I (n = 33) represented the
low level of thrombus; Group II (n = 33) represented the high level of thrombus. The degree of
stenosis and coronary flux by thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI), grade, was
assessed in all patients to assess the associated high thrombus plaque disruption or formation.
Results:Class I and II have a mean age respectively 62.21±9.51 and a mean age of 66.67±9.14.
The global systolic average LV (AGS) in Group I and II relative to Group III was slightly lower.
Regarding the Killip class, the main difference between the groups was statistically
significantwith a P-value of 0.001, regarding ECG Changes (ST depression and t wave
inversion), the main difference between the groups was statistically non-significant with p
values 0.726 and 0.403 respectively.
Current Approaches for the Prediction of Atrial Fibrillation Development and Progression
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2116-2139
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia inclinical practice. Several
conventional and novel predictorsof AF development and progression (from paroxysmalto
persistent and permanent types) have been reported.The most important predictor of AF
progression ispossibly the arrhythmia itself. The electrical, mechanicaland structural
remodeling determines the perpetuationof AF and the progression from paroxysmal to
persistentand permanent forms. Common clinical scores such asthe hypertension, age ≥ 75
years, transient ischemicattack or stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,and heart
failure and the congestive heart failure,hypertension, age ≥ 75 years, diabetes mellitus,
stroke/transient ischemic attack, vascular disease, age 65-74years, sex category scores as well
as biomarkers relatedto inflammation may also add important information onthis topic. There
is now increasing evidence that even inpatients with so-called lone or idiopathic AF, the
arrhythmiais the manifestation of a structural atrial disease whichhas recently been defined
and described as fibrotic atrialcardiomyopathy. Fibrosis results from a broad rangeof factors
related to AF inducing pathologies such ascell stretch, neurohumoral activation, and
oxidativestress. The extent of fibrosis as detected either by lategadolinium enhancement -
magnetic resonance imaging
or electroanatomic voltage mapping may guide thetherapeutic approach based on the
arrhythmia substrate.The knowledge of these risk factors may not only delayarrhythmia
progression, but also reduce the arrhythmiaburden in patients with first detected AF. The
presentreview highlights on the conventional and novel risk
Comparison between Hysteroscopy andSonohysterography in the Assessment of Abnormal Uterine Cavity
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2140-2154
Background: The root causes of infertility in about 15percent of infertile women are
intrauterine pathologies. Several uterine defects, such as septum intrauterine adhesions,
endometrial polyps or submucous myomas, may interfere with implantation and cause
spontaneous abortion. The uterine cavity can be assessed by using variable diagnostic methods,
such as hysterosalpingography, transvaginal ultrasound, sonohysterography and hysteroscopy.
Objective:Our research aims at assessing the significance of the sonohysterography in vaginal
hysteroscopic correlation in the assessment of uterine cavity disease.
Methods:In 48 women suspected of having intrauterine abnormality, this prospective crosssectional
analysis was carried out. Between days 7 and 10 of the menstrual cycle,
sonohysterography was done. In the mid proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle for
premenopausal women ,hysteroscopy was done. Histopathology was our gold standard
reference.

Contrast-Induced Nephropathy: a comprehensive review
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2169-2180
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is defined as the impairment of renal function
measured as either a 25% increase in serum creatinine (SCr) from baseline or a 0.5
mg/dL (44 μmol/L) increase in absolute SCr value within 48-72 hours after
intravenous contrast administration. Although prophylactic hydration has been
promising in decreasing the occurrence of CIN, other efforts such as diuretics,
calcium channel blockers, theophylline, aminophylline, atrial natriuretic peptide,
dopamine, and fenoldopam have been disappointing. The preventive effect of Nacetylcysteine
on CIN has not been consistent in the literature. In a recent clinical
trial, bicarbonate infusion was more effective than hydration in the prevention of
CIN. Mechanical devices are in development to perfuse renal arteries with
protective drugs during contrast exposure or for removal of contrast from coronary
sinus during coronary angiography. In this article, we have reviewed available data
in regards to CIN.

VIRTUAL SCREENING OF POTENT ANTI-INFLAMMATORY MOLECULESFROM BOERHAAVIA DIFFUSA.LINN AGAINST NEUROINFLAMMATION FOR P38Α INHIBITOR(S)
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2207-2216
Inflammation in the central nervous system is a common feature in Neurodegenerative diseases like Amylotropic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis. Experimental evidences have shown the extensive increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines (PC) acts as a major contributor in disease progression of chronic neurodegenerative disorders. Major PC, such as IL-6 and TNFα, are produced by cells involved in these disease progressions by involving p38α MAPK pathway at cellular level. Hence p38 MAPK family is being investigated as a potential therapeutic target for many CNS disorders. Since a variety of approved drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases have reported potentially serious side effects. Hence there is a massive need for these therapies from natural sources.
In the present study, we have chosen a medically important ayurvedic plant Boerhaavia diffusa.linn (BD). Based on the research review on BD, Eupalitin, Eupalitin-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside, β-sitosterol, Liriodendrin, Boeravinone B, Punarnavine; potentanti-inflammatory phytochemicals were selected to exploreits pharmaceutical properties. The initiation of early ADME screening studies of these phytochemicals also showed impressive pharmacokinetic properties, to be a potent drug molecule. Among them, Eupalitin, β-sitosterol, Boeravinone B, Punarnavine were qualified for druglikeness. Further, docking experiments were used to screen the selected phytochemicals for p38α inhibitors. The studies indicated Eupalitin and Boeravinone Bas potent p38α inhibitors as it showed the compact binding to the biologically active sites. Additionally, these phytochemicals were evaluated for its anti-neuroinflammatory effects using in-vitro cell line studies on microglial cells in comparison with the whole plant extract.
Our pilot studies suggests that these natural phytochemicals from potent anti-inflammatory valued plant has potency intargeting all the neurodegenerative disease in common from being a potent p38α inhibitor along with a good druggable property.In future these phytocompounds can be experimented to explore the mechanism of action at molecular level.

ANTI-ANGIOGENIC PROPERTY OF BERGENIN IN CHICKEN CHORIOALLANTOIC MEMBRANE
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2217-2229
Angiogenesis is one of the prime factors required for the formation of blood vessels and capillaries from pre-existing blood vessels. It plays a major role during embryonic development but is detrimental during the later stage as uncontrolled angiogenesis will lead to the formation of tumours and other disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases. Hence to combat this irregularity and maintain balance, a major receptor called VEGF needs to be targeted. Therefore many recent studies are based upon experiments using drug molecule from a plant source which has no side effects and effective in blocking the pro-angiogenic factors. In this context, our present study is based on investigating the antiangiogenic effect of Bergenin using the preliminary and widely used in-vivo model called CAM. Bergenin is a natural compound found in rhizomes ofBergenia species.It has various medicinal properties including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant,neuroprotective activity andmany more. The CAM Assay in our study is followed by a cell viability assay on macrophages which show Bergenin to be non-toxic. Also, at the highest concentration, Bergenin has shown good anti-angiogenic activity by inhibiting the formation of blood vessels in the chorioallantoic membrane when compared with the standard drug molecule.The above findings indicate that the molecule Bergenin can be further used in high throughput screening of its antiangiogenic property and can be used as a valuable lead molecule in drug discovery and development against cancer and other neuroinflammatory diseases.

The Role of Pharmacists in Optimizing Molecular Testing with Evolving Biomarkers and Treatment for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2240-2259
DOI:

Molecular testing and the development of targeted therapies have revolutionized the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite the advantages of molecular testing in patients with NSCLC and guideline recommendations, there is no specific standard testing method, resulting in variable testing practices based on institution protocol and access. Pharmacists can help to improve coordination of care around appropriate testing as results are important in determining the most appropriate targeted treatment course. The majority of patients with NSCLC are tested for PD-L1, EGFR, ALK, ROS1, and BRAF mutations. These biomarkers and their corresponding targeted therapies are more understood than the remaining biomarkers, such as KRAS, RET, MET exon 14 (METex14), and NTRK. Multiple new and emerging therapies target these latter biomarkers, and this article will focus on these lesser-known biomarkers. As the treatment of NSCLC becomes increasingly biomarker-driven and more therapies are added to the armamentarium for the management of NSCLC, pharmacists will be called upon to assist the oncology care team to optimize NSCLC treatment to improve patient outcomes.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2315-2321
The management of infectious diseases and immunization has experienced a transformative
change in recent years. The advent in biotechnology and genetic engineering has created a
number of disease-specific biological. However the focus on successfully delivering
thesebiological is a challenge. Niosomes are vesicles made of non-ionic surfactants that are
biodegradable, non-toxic, more durable, and less costly. In the present work, Glimepirideentrapped
niosomes were produced utilizing an ether injection method with various
cholesterol (CHOL) and Span-60 ratios (1:1, 1:2, and 1:3). In this analysis, the ether injection
approach to insert Glimepiride into niosomes was investigated. In the case of ether injection
process, the prepared niosomesranges from 0.662 to 1.713 μm in size. In-vitro release tests on
Glimepiride niosomes displayed 98.3% release for formulations prepared with CHOL: Span-
60 (1:1) and a release duration of 0 to 24 hours. It has been observed that with the increase in
concentration of Span-60, the order of encapsulation quality had improved. The impact of
varying non-ionic surfactant and cholesterol composition on properties such as zeta potential,
drug quality, vesicle scale, and drug release were tested in an assessment analysis. Based on
the findings of this study, it is possible to infer that the developed noisome formulation of
Glimepiride has considerable potential in the treatment of diabetes due to its prolonged
releaseprofile

1.1 Aim:To assess the various methods of extrusion of tooth
1.2 Objective:To assess different applications of extrusion in every aspect of
operative treatment. Extrusion is widely used in orthodontic therapy, This article
focuses on the use of extrusion in other aspects as well.
1.3 Background:Introduction For many years, the removal of bone or gingival
tissues has been the most common method used for crown-lengthening surgery.
This surgical procedure usually causes an uneven contour of the gingival margin
in the anterior region. In addition, as fear of pain is one of the major problems in
dentistry, patients often reject this traumatic surgery. In recent years, as an
alternative to such a highly invasive technique, mini screws have been used as
temporary anchorage devices (TAD) for several orthodontic tooth movements
including forced eruption. However, there are other methods developed in recent
years.
1.4 Reason:Hence, this comprehensive literature review aims at understanding the
various methods of extrusion of teeth.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2387-2395
Organ donation being the most noble deed requires revolutionization. One cannot imagine the urgency and desperation a person feels when his/her loved one is in need of such act and they could not locate an appropriate donor. On the other hand, people who wish to donate worries about the privacy, security and authenticity. The Proposed System is a web-based Application which uses FIFO approach to select an organ donor for each genuine patient requiring a transplant and if there is an emergency case then the priority is given to that patient. It provides an efficient platform for potential organ doners and those who need the organs to connect. It uses Blockchain as its
underlying Technology. Blockchain Technology is as it is known a decentralized and distributed network which stores records that are immutable as in cannot be altered once saved. The Immutability of Blockchain Technology provides the required security to the application. Blockchain Technology uses digital documents which are digitally signed by the user so that they are timestamped at the time of saving the document and cannot be changed after that. It solves the issue of authenticating the same user again and again. It uses smart contracts and RSA algorithm as well which are explained further in the paper.

considered highly statistically significant, and p-value ≥ 0.05 was considered statistically
insignificant.
Pancreatic Cystic Lesions: New Diagnostic Strategies
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2510-2525
Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCN) are a heterogeneous group of pancreatic cysts that include
intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, mucinous cystic neoplasms, serous cystic neoplasms
and other rare cystic lesions, all with different biological behaviors and variable risk of
progression to malignancy. As more pancreatic cysts are incidentally discovered on routine
cross-sectional imaging, optimal surveillance for patients with PCN is becoming an
increasingly common clinical problem, highlighting the need to balance cancer prevention with
the risk of (surgical) overtreatment. This Review summarizes the latest developments in the
diagnosis and management of PCN, including the quality of available evidence. Also discussed
are the most important differences between the PCN guidelines from the American
Gastroenterological Association, the International Association of Pancreatology and the
European Study Group on Cystic Tumors of the Pancreas, including diagnostic and follow-up
strategies and indications for surgery. Finally, new developments in the management of patients
with PCN are addressed.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2526-2534
Aim: To analyse the post-operative wound complications in patients getting neoadjuvant
chemotherapy in respect to those patients who underwent surgery without any neoadjuvant
chemotherapy.
Material and method: The present prospective observational study was conducted in
GMCH AMRITSAR Punjab.It consisted of 50 female patients admitted with breast
carcinomadivided into group of 25 each, one group that received neoadjuvant
chemotherapy and the other group which underwent surgery first.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 50.16±11.57 years. no significant difference was
observed in age, wound complications, healing time between the two groups. Flap necrosis
was seen in 4% cases and 12% cases in group 1(primary surgery) and 2(NACT)
respectively. Seroma was seen in 16% and 8% cases in group 1 and 2 respectively. 12%
cases of group 1 and 20% cases of group 2 presented with wound infection. Patients with
DM presented with more complication in both the groups. The difference between both the
groups was significant which shows that diabetic patient without NACT have more risk of
developing wound complications than with NACT.No significant difference was observed
between the mean of healing time in both the groups .
Conclusion:In conclusion, our study revealed that a factor, like diabetes mellitus was
associated with an increased risk of wound complications for patients undergoing
mastectomy. However, neoadjuvant chemotherapy was not associated with an increased
risk of wound complications.
A Review on an unpublished literature of “Nadi Vijnaniyam”
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2535-2542
The nativity of Indian medicine stems from the ancient science of Ayurveda. It has recognition globally in the present era, but has deep roots since ages for its well known clinical management and preventive aspects. However, the lesser explored entity remains to be the diagnostic aspect. Just as one can say that identification of the problem is half the solution, appropriate diagnosis forms the first line of treatment. To overcome the callow and also to probe much on this, the study on the unpublished manuscript Nadi Vijnaniyam was taken up. The content of the manuscript is elaborated in twelve patalas (chapters). Each patala intends to brief about the science of Nadi and the interpretations pertaining to the knowledge of Nadi with close relation to Ayurveda. The content of the manuscript authenticates further that this will be highly contributory to the existing Ayurvedic literature. Analysis of this text brought to light, the understanding of the distinct content and few insights that are exclusively belonging to Nadi Vijnaniyam.
Key words: Nadi, manuscript, interpretation of Ayurvedic diagnosis

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2581-2581
Cancer is a leading cause of death in both developed and developing countries, which emerges as
a major public health problem. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common form
of carcinoma in the oral cavity and ranks as the 12th most common cancer in the world.
Unfortunately, many cases of OSCC are clinically detected in a late stage, and the available
therapeutic alternatives are highly expensive and disfiguring. The development of reliable
biomarkers and more effective therapeutic agents are necessary to improve patient outcome.

Relationship of Blastocystis subtypes and its co-infection with other parasites to the infection symptoms
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2605-2615
Background: One of the common gastro-intestinal parasites worldwide is Blastocystis. Diverse
subtypes are employed to detect this microscopic parasite but there is not enough information on
the issue if these su-btypes may exhibit diverse clinical symptoms or not. This research aimed at
the evaluation of the clinical symptoms of the disease like itching and gastro-intestinal symptoms
in various subtypes as well as in Blastocystis co-infection with other parasites.
Methods: We extracted DNA from the fecal specimens of the cases that had been referred to the
Center for Tropical Diseases in Verona-Italy. Moreover, real-time PCR (RT PCR) was employed
to identify the available parasitic infections and nested PCR to detect the subtypes. Then, SPSS
was used to analyze data.
Results: Any significant relationship did not exist between the subtypes and clinical symptoms. In
addition, co-infection did not significantly related to the disease symptoms and a number of
parasites. The small statistical population may influence such results.
Conclusion: Further investigations must be conducted for determining the effects of Blastocystis
sub-types and their co-infection on the disease symptoms.
Role of Prophylactic Antibiotic (Cefotaxime) In Elective Surgical Procedures
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2616-2629
Introduction: The role of prophylactic antibiotics in elective surgical procedures in preventing surgical site infections has been well documented, however, their need continues to be ambiguous.
Aim: To evaluate the role of prophylactic cefotaxime therapy in the prevention of surgical site infection in elective surgery and its side effects
Materials and Methods: 100 patients undergoing elective surgery were enrolled in the study after taking informed consent. They were divided into two groups of 50 each. Group A patients (control group) did not receive any preoperative, intraoperative or postoperative antibiotics whatsoever, and Group B patients (study group) received a single dose of intravenous cefotaxime half and hour prior to the induction of anaesthesia. The severity of wound infection was graded according to Robertson’s Classification into grades 0-IV. Culture and sensitivity was done for the presence of pus.
Results: Of the 100 patients in the study, 7% patients developed surgical site infection. However with the administration of prophylactic antibiotics the rate of post-operative infection fell from 7(14%) to 0% (p<0.001). The duration of hospital stay was prolonged in patients that did not receive prophylactic antibiotics.
Conclusion:The use of cefotaxime as a prophylactic antibiotic is a cost effective method in preventing wound infection following clean, elective surgical procedures.
Assessment of the correlation of preoperative ultrasonographic findings and intra operative surgical findings in cases of acute appendicitis
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2630-2636
Background: Appendectomy for acute appendicitis is one of the most frequently performed surgical precedures. The development of imaging modalities, especially that of ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT), has enabled more accurate diagnostics with a significant decrease in false positive diagnoses, which has led to lower rates of negative appendectomies.Hence; the present study was conducted for assessing the correlation of preoperative ultrasonographic findings and intra operative surgical findings in cases of acute appendicitis.
Materials & methods: This was a prospective study conducted at Department of General Surgery, Rajindra Hospital, Patiala by including 50 patients presenting with acute appendicitis. A structured pre-prepared proforma was used to enter the complete history, investigations-hematological and ultrasound, intra-operative findings and histopathological report. Data collected was entered into MS-Excel 2013 spread-sheet.
Results: Amongst the 50 patients taken up for surgery, 42 were found to have acute appendicitis, while 8 patients were noted to have some other diagnosis. Based on these findings, the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound in diagnosing acute appendicitis was calculated to be 92.86% and 87.50% respectively. The positive predictive value of ultrasound, i.e. – its ability to identify acute appendicitis correctly amongst all cases of acute appendicitis diagnosed on ultrasound was 70%. Its negative predictive value, meaning, the ability of ultrasound to accurately exclude the possibility of acute appendicitis amongst all the cases that are negative for acute appendicitis on ultrasound was 97.5%. The accuracy of ultrasound in identifying acute appendicitis was found to be 92% in the current study.
Conclusion: In equivocal cases sonography is better than clinical evaluation, while in unequivocal cases, ultrasound proves helpful in confirming the diagnosis.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2644-2657
Background of study: Hyperglycemia often occurs in critically ill patients even without a history of diabetes. Hyperglycemia, in hospital, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) is defined as a condition in which blood glucose levels are ≥140 mg/dl and HbA1c ≤6.5, without any prior diabetes history. Hyperglycemia results from an endocrine and metabolic response to stress. Studies and literature regarding hyperglycemia in non-diabetic patients in Indonesia are deemed limited, especially case studies of non-diabetic hyperglycemia in intensive care and the prevalence of hyperglycemia related to age, sex, metabolic risk (obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia), history of parenteral nutrition, history of corticosteroids use, and disease diagnosis.
Methods: The present study is a retrospective descriptive study using medical record data of patients at the HCU, ICU, Brain Center, and CVCU PJT Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital in August 2020 - October 2020. This study involved 90 non-diabetic subjects in intensive care. The inclusion criteria were based on the ADA criteria for non-diabetic hyperglycemia in the hospital.
Results: This study involved 44 non-diabetic hyperglycemic patients and 46 non-diabetic patients without hyperglycemia with a mean age of 53.5 years in non-diabetic hyperglycemic subjects and 57.7 years old in subjects without hyperglycemia. Non-diabetic hyperglycemia subjects with obesity (34.1%), hypertension (61.5%), and dyslipidemia (46.9%). Subjects with hyperglycemia with a history of corticosteroid use (95%). Based on the diagnosis of the disease when the subject was in intensive care, the subject with a diagnosis of CHD had hyperglycemia (36.8%), stroke with hyperglycemia (58.8%), and other diagnoses (infection, tumor, postoperative, and trauma) accompanied by hyperglycemia (57, 1%).

Nanofluids are dilute colloidal suspensions of nanoparticlesin a base fluid that exhibit
thermal properties superior than that of the conventional fluid. The application of nanofluids
is to achieve the highest possible thermal properties at the smallest possible concentrations, by
homogeneous dispersion and stable suspension of nanoparticles in the host fluids. Nanofluids
plays vital role in various thermal applications such as automotive industries, heat
exchangers, solar power generation etc. Mostly heat transfer augmentation in solar collectors
is one of the key issues in energy saving, compact designs and different operational
temperatures. In this paper, a comprehensive literature on thermo physical properties of
nanofluids and the application of solar collector with nanofluids have been compiled and
reviewed. Recent literatures indicate the conventional heat transfer using nanofluids and their
specific applications in the solar collector.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2688-2697
Background: Dental caries is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases, the main etiologic factor of which is Streptococcus mutans. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the leaf extract and gum of Pistacia atlantica on the growth inhibition of S.mutans in comparison to chlorhexidine (CHX).
Methods: In the present in vitro study, the antibacterial effects of the extract and gum of this plant were evaluated in comparison to that of CHX. The microbial sensitivity was evaluated by determining the diameter of the growth inhibition zone. In addition, the turbidity test was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the materials against S.mutans.
Results: No growth inhibition zones for S.mutans were detected around the materials derived from P. atlantica, while a 24-mm growth inhibition halo formed around CHX. The MIC values for CHX and the leaf extract and gum of P. atlantica were 1.256, 1.8 and 1, respectively.
Conclusion: In general, the present study showed that the antibacterial effect of CHX on S. mutans was higher than those of P. atlantica derivatives. In addition, the P. atlantica leaf extract exhibited higher antibacterial activity compared to its gum, which is used as chewing gum in some regions

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2725-2728
Variants of Flexor Carpi Ulnaris(FCU) are clinically important as they cause ulnar nerve
compression. The present article is documented on the anatomical variation found during
routine dissection. FCU had its normal origin and insertion while Accessory flexor carpi
ulnaris (AFCU) was found with absence of palmarislongus (PL). Awareness of variations of
FCU are helpful in reconstructive surgeries of forearm and hand.
Method:
The right upper limb of a male cadaver was dissected during routine dissection in the
Department of RachanaSharir, J.S. AyurvedMahavidyalaya, GujaratAyurved University. All
superficial flexor muscles were exposed. The humeral and ulnar heads of FCU was dissected
and AFCU was found having musculotendinous origin and central muscle belly inserting in
the pisiform bone with the absence of PL. Relevant photographs were taken for
documentation.
Result:
The FCU has its normal origin and insertion. AFCU had a fleshy-tendinous origin having two
heads, the small humeral head arising from the medial epicondyle via the commontendon
whereas the ulnar head had its origin from the medial margin of theolecranon. This common
tendon is long and continuous into the fleshy belly in the middle part of the muscle and
inserted into the pisiform bone. Ulnar vessels and nerve lied lateral to the insertion of the
AFCU. There was absence of PL.
ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE AMONG DENTAL STUDENTS REGARDING ‘ETHICS IN DENTISTRY’-A QUESTIONNAIRE BASED STUDY.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2729-2736
Ethics comes from the Greek word meaning ‘ethos’ originally meaning character or conduct.
It is typically used interchangeably with the word moral which is derived from the Latin word
‘mores’, which means customs or habits. Together these two terms refer to conduct, character,
and motivations involved in moral acts. Ethics is defined as a branch of philosophy concerned
with the study of those concepts that are used to evaluate human activities, in particular the
concept of goodness and obligation. It is a generic term referring to the moral code of conduct
in a civil society and the rules, customs and beliefs of that society.Dentistry, being one of the
healing professions, has an obligation to society that its members will stick on to high ethical
standards of conductThe purpose of dental ethics is to heighten ethical and professional
responsibility, promote ethical conduct and professionalism in the field of dentistry.It also
advances the dialogue on ethical issues, and stimulate further reflection on common ethical
problems in dental practice. This study assesses the knowledge among dental students
(undergraduates) in dental ethics.
GAME CHANGER IN ORTHODONTICS - A CLEAR ALIGNER REVIEW
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2737-2750
With the advancing developments in every nook and corner of medical science and
dentistry, the field of orthodontics has also changed in recent years.Digital imaging
and computers have improved the diagnostic process. The introduction of prescription
brackets, bonding, NiTi and other alloy wires have improved the treatment
productivity and efficacy. Adult patients looking for orthodontic treatment are
progressively propelled by aesthetic considerations. Most of these patients reject
wearing labial fixed steel appliances and are looking rather to more aesthetic
treatment alternatives, including ceramic braces, lingual orthodontics and clear plastic
aligners. The change in perspective in orthodontics has led to the introduction of
Aligner System.
Chest Ultrasound for Simple and Complicated Bronchiolitis Differentiation
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2756-2762
Background: Bronchiolitis usually occurs during the first year of life, with a peak
incidence between 3 and 6 months of age. Chest Ultrasound has been proposed as a
diagnostic tool in many diseases in the pediatric and neonatological settings. The
aim of the present study was to differentiate simple versus complicated cases of
bronchiolitis in infant by chest ultrasound. Patients and methods: A prospective
observational study was conducted in Pediatric Department, Zagazig University
Hospitals.Inclusion criteria included infants aged 1 month to 2 years fulfilling
clinical criteria of acute bronchiolitis. Steps of performance included consent from
relatives to participate in the study, complete history taking, full clinical
examination, laboratory investigations, chest X-ray, chest Ultrasound and chest CT.
Results: Our results showed that wheeze was the commonest presentation (100.0%)
of the studied group followed by crepitation (12.3%) of them then Refusal of
feeding (9.2%) and lastly fever (5.0%) of the studied group. There was (55.4%) of
cases were complicated bronchiolitis by U/S and (44.6%) were simple. The
commonest cases (96.9%) were discharged with only (3.1%) death rate. The X-ray
was able to detect only (50.0%) of complicated cases and 29 cases (100.0%) were
excluded by both. Conclusion: Chest ultrasound is considered more sensitive and
specific than CXR in the diagnosis of complicated cases of acute bronchiolitis.
These data suggest that a positive chest ultrasound may avoid the need to perform
CXR in these patients.
A critical review on electro-analysis of clinically important drug Paracetamol
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2763-2772
Paracetamol have been extensively used in both the human and veterinary clinics due to its
antipyretic and analgesic properties.It is considered as a well-tolerated drug in patients
suffering from aspirin intolerance, ulcers, or difficulty in blood clotting. It is very important to
monitor the doses of paracetamol in the patient’s body under examination since the overdose
results in accumulation of toxic metabolites which may cause severe adverse effects. Due to a
wide use of paracetamol and the adverse effects of its over dose, it is alwaysbeing an
interesting issue to develop suitable techniques for its quantitative as well as qualitative
analysis. The development of simple, convenient, highly sensitive, versatile, fast and economic

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2819-2833
In recent years, Malignant Melanoma Cancer has caused an increased exponential in human diseases, for this reason, it is essential to detect it from its early stages. Deep Learning is one of the most applied technologies for the analysis of images oriented to medicine, facilitating the diagnosis of diseases in patients, allowing them to make accurate decisions about their health. In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network architecture derived from the evaluation of different convolutional neural networks that meet the objective of obtaining more pressure on the information of the acquired image. The model for the problem is based on a binary distribution, 1 in case of malignant and 0 for benign, so that melanoma can be detected early and is very useful, for this we used 2 different datasets with a total of 2650 images for training the architecture. Finally, a comparison of the results obtained in other research has been made, where the metrics of our project are considerably improved by having 3 layers. This new architecture is a proposed solution for the optimization of training and validation of images.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2896-2912
The study deals with the EO-NP's encapsulated cardamom essential oil for insecticidal activity. The prepared nanoparticles were subjected to characterization studies using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analysis, Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis. The DLS analysis revealed that the size of the nanoparticles had a slight increase in diameter after three months of storage. Similarly, the characterization with TEM showed that the prepared nanoparticles were of round or spherical shape with clear morphology without any crack in the external surface. Considerable mortality was observed from the insecticidal bioassay carried out by contact, fumigant toxicity with cardamom essential oil nanoparticles encapsulated with PEG (EO-NPs) against adult Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Linnaeus) (Coleoptra: Silvanidae). Further the Cardamom EO-NP's also produced significant repellency effect on the adult insects. About 85% mortality (Contact Toxicity) and 81% mortality (Fumigant Toxicity) was observed with 0.025 mg x cm2 concentration of EO-NP's. The results indicate that the cardamom essential oil encapsulated with PEG nanoparticles could be an effective alternative to chemical pesticides for the control of stored product grain pests. Further this is the first report on the insecticidal efficacy of PEG encapsulated Cardamom essential oil against Oryzaephilus surinamensis.

Totally implanted central venous port systems are widely used for chronically ill patients, who
need long-term access to central veins for prolonged therapy. As we do not have enough data
about the rate of complications in the Iranian population, we designed this study to investigate
our early and late complications related to chemotherapy port catheters (CPC), implanted by
vascular surgeons, assessing some risk factors and proposing ways to avoid or reduce them. In
this prospective study, 160 patients treated for cancer in Sina and 5th Azar hospitals in the
department of chemotherapy from January 2016, were participated. Our inclusion criteria
were age >18 years old, port surgery at our institution by vascular surgeons, ability to
understand the procedure, and provide consent for the study. Patients with serious physical
diseases or mental problems and children were excluded. A total of 160 patients (56 men and
104 women) were included. The mean age (±standard deviation) of patients was 53.5 (±16.49)
years. Forty-six patients (28.8%) had breast cancer and 72 (45 %) had gastrointestinal cancer.
We had 2 missing data in our follow-up, fifty patients (31.2%) still have their
catheters,70(43.8%) died and 38(23.8%) catheters were explanted. We didn’t have early
complications as we did the procedure under ultrasound and fluoroscopy guidance. Our
overall rate of complication was 6.8%. In this study, we reported infection as the most frequent

Numerical Analysis of the Thermal Behavior of a - Tube Heat Storage Unit Using Phase Change Materials
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2969-2975
storage by latent heat systems becomes the appropriate solution in several solar heat
applications. In this context, we lead the proposed study concerning the thermal storage by latent
heat in a solar domestic water heater. A quantitative comparison has been developed to sort out the
performances of a given unit of latent heat storage (LHS) under the effect of some physical
parameters. The inlet velocity and inlet temperature of the heat transfer fluid (HTF) and
geometrical parameters like the radius of the storage pipe are considered as the influent parameters
in this issue. The obtained results show that the increase of the inlet velocity and temperature allows
the increase of rate fusion of the PCM and reduces the fusion time. However, the increase of the
radius of the pipe makes the time of fusion relatively long

Background: Breast cancer is always known to be a major health problem globally. Though
many advancements are achieved in treatment strategy for breast cancer, still the patient survival
rate is not promising for all the affected patients. Hence there is an emerging need for an
alternative medicine for treating cancer patients.
Objective: Thus, we aimed to understand the possibility of using commonly available red
seaweed, Gracilaria corticota in treating breast cancer. To analyse this, we aimed to check the
seaweed extract’s efficiency in breast cancer cell lines, MCF 7 using proteome wide analysis.
Method: The MCF7 cells were treated with red seaweed extract and incubated for 48 hrs.
Further the treated cells were scraped and lysed to extract the proteins. The extracted proteins
were estimated and further subjected to proteomic profiling. To analyse the differential protein
expression and identification of the proteins, two-dimensional electrophoresis coupled with mass
spectrometry was adapted.
Results: We found upon seaweed extract treatment in MCF7 breast cancer cell line, important
apoptotic proteins were deregulated. These proteins include the down regulation of
BCL2,BCL2L1 and MCL1 and upregulation of BAX protein upon treatment when compared to
untreated cells.
Health Effects of Cyanogen Chloride and Methods of Controlling its Percentages in Water
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2988-3004
Cyanogen chloride is a toxic chemical compound with the formula NCCl. This linear,
triatomic pseudo-halogen is an easily condensed colorless gas. More commonly
encountered in the laboratory is the related compound cyanogen bromide, a
room-temperature solid that is widely used in biochemical analysis and preparation.
This paper presents a description for Cyanogen chloride formation and creations, its
effects on animals and human bodies, and finally methods to control its percentages
in drinking water under the acceptable levels. The method of controlling its
concentration in water is summarized by using suitable chemical additives and noting
the time for settlement and then removed from the samples. A comparison between 4
additives in removing Cyanogen chloride is performed for the same sample of water.
It is found that as the concentration of NCCl increases the pOH of the sample
increases while pH decreases. Also, for the four additives NH4+, CN-1, Cl2 and
SO2 for the water samples, it was found that SO2 is the most efficient chemical
additive in removing CNCl since it needs the lowest time of removing CNCl.

In the context of covid-19 pandemics, different studies have reported an increase in the occurrence of psychological symptoms in the population, linking the coronavirus outbreak to a mental health epidemic. Stress and anxiety are the most commonly reported symptoms, along with panic behavior, fear of public events and other less impacting psychological issues. During the pandemic most affected countries have implemented online mental health interventions to deal with social distancing and isolation. To this end, it appears necessary to manage long-term impacts of the pandemic on mental health through effective evidence-based therapies, easily administered online. In the present work, mind-body interventions are discussed as an effective tool to this purpose. Particular focus is paid on the link between mental processes and gene expression, through the application of valid new class of mind-body practices: Mind-Body Transformations Therapy (MBT-T) and Creative Psychosocial Genomic Healing Experience (CPGHE). MBIs have been proven to be effective tools particularly in stress reduction as well as overall well-being promotion, in addition, they are easy to learn and administer both face-to-face and online.
Awareness of Stroke and Thrombolytic therapy in attendants of Neurology Patients
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3077-3084
Worldwide, stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability and there are substantial economic costs for post-stroke care. Results from the 2015 iteration of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) reported that although the age-standardized death rates and prevalence of stroke have decreased over time, the overall burden of stroke has remained high. As populations age, and low-income and middle-income countries go through the epidemiological transition from infectious to non-communicable diseases as the predominant cause of morbidity, together with concomitant increases in modifiable risk factors, it is expected that the burden of stroke will increase further until effective stroke prevention strategies are more widely implemented.1
In India, age-standardized prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases has increased by 12.2% and the number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYS) has increased by 53% from the period raging between 1990 to 2016. It has been seen as the fifth leading cause for years of life lost and DALYs in 2016. Increasing life expectancy and risk exposure is linked with the increasing prevalence of stroke and disability among the survivors, with significant socioeconomic consequences for patients, care givers, and health services.2
Attitude or outlook towards the stroke is affected by the knowledge along with the practices undertaken by people to prevent and treat stroke. Appropriate knowledge of stroke risk factors and warning signs, practices of stroke prevention or the immediate action that is necessary in dealing with a stroke patient can arrest both mortality and morbidity among the public.3
Further, in-spite of availability of thrombolytic therapy, patients do not arrive in time for the treatment this may be due to lack of awareness of stroke & its risk factors. Hence, we chose to carry out the survey with the objective to determine the level of knowledge about stroke and its treatment.
A Comparative Study of Indian and Western Ethics
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3085-3091
English Studies today include a wide range of subjects that come close to be called literature. Philosophical treatises on ‘all things human’ form the core of literary endeavours. The history of English Literature shows how writers like Robert Burton, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume, George Berkeley, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell and very many others have established a rich tradition of writing or a form of literature that has human happiness and welfare as its focus. Ethical principles and precepts are always regarded as categorical imperatives that govern human lives and are directly related to morals and duties. Literature has always been either didactic or entertaining. The text Hindu Dharma is a selected discourse of the great Acharya, Chandrashekarendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya. It was translated into English by the renowned writer RGK. The book Hindu Dharma (original text Deivattin Kural) translated by RGK into English includes only volume I and II. The text Hindu Dharma not only focuses on Dharmasastra but also guides all aspects of life and by throwing light on all the branches of knowledge.

NOVEL METHOD IN INTERVENING PULPAL CANAL OBLITERATION WITH 3D - PRINTING: A REPORT OF TWO CASES
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3092-3101
Pulp calcification is one of the factors that make endodontic treatment challenging and capable of compromising access of instruments and irrigant solutions to the entire extension of the root canal, making it impossible to disinfect it adequately. Pulp canal calcification (PCC), also known as pulp canal obliteration or calcific metamorphosis, is characterized by the deposition of calcified tissue along the canal walls. PCC cases are associated with luxation injuries of dental trauma and pulpal responses to various insults such as Invasive pulp therapy procedures, Extended carious lesions, Abfractions, and Restorations.
EVALUATION OF SERUM MIRNA-217 AND MIRNA-143-3P AS POTENTIAL BIOMARKERS FOR ESOPHAGEAL ACHALASIA
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3102-3108
The use of a low-risk and convenient diagnostic method is important in the early diagnosis of achalasia and could prevent the side effect of delay in initiation of treatment. According to our previous NGS study, two miRNAs, hsa-miR-217 and hsa-miR-143-3p were differentially expressed in achalasia esophageal tissue. The present study aimed to assess two microRNAs, hsa-miR-217 and hsa-miR-143-3p as serum biomarkers for early detection of achalasia. Serum was collected from patients with achalasia and non-achalasia participants. The relative expression of hsa-miR-217 and hsa-miR-143-3p were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The expression of hsa-miR-217 was different in the serum of patients with achalasia and controls, but this difference was not significant (p-value = 0.572). Besides, the results showed that the serum expression of miRNA-143-3p was not significantly different between the patients with achalasia and the control group (p-value = 0.366). Our findings could not support serum miRNA-217 and miRNA-143-3p as potential diagnostic biomarkers for achalasia.

AN INSIGHT INTO TELEMEDICINE : A REVIEW
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3119-3125
“Tele” is a Greek word meaning “distance” and “mederi” is a Latin word meaning “to heal.” Telemedicine can be defined as the use of telecommunications technologies to provide medical information and services. It is the use of information and communications technology to deliver health care services to people who are some distance from the health care provider. Telemedicine has a wide range of applications in patient care, education, research, administration and public health. It has come a long way in terms of both healthcare delivery and technology. It is a common practice in developed countries; it has been widely used in developing countries to resolve the issues of medical care access. Even though telemedicine cannot resolve all the problems, it can undoubtedly help reduce the burden of the healthcare system to a large extent. In this article, the literature pertinent to telemedicine and its applications are reviewed and summarized.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3126-3136
Evolving recent advances in esthetic orthodontic treatment like clear aligners increased a need for esthetic treatment compared to conventional fixed appliances. The clear aligner is a clear, removable and made up of semi-elastic polyurethane material where it uses computer aided modeling technique for the purpose of fabrication and to move the teeth for establishing optimal occlusion. The objective of this case report was to explain an advanced orthodontic treatment method for correction of Angle’s class II subdivision malocclusion with proclined upper and lower incisors, increased overjet, midline spacing in upper & lower anteriors and upper midline deviation towards the left side by 3 mm relating to the facial midline using clear aligners. At the end of aligner treatment, class II malocclusion, spacing and proclination within short period of time was corrected compared to that of fixed appliance. The patient was satisfied about functional and esthetic outcome after 1 year follow up

Redefining the Aim of Treatment – An Ayurvedic View
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3140-3152
Health is a state where all the bodily constituents are in equilibrium and functioning to their optimum capacity. Maintaining the health of a healthy individual and alleviating the disease to get back health in an individual is the aim of Ayurveda. Though all treatments aim at bringing back the equilibrium, the present treatment practices are limiting themselves at alleviation of diseases. The signs and symptoms of equilibrium of all the bodily constituents though clearly explained, it is not practically assessed in patients by the doctor. It may be because of the lack of knowledge or the current trends of clinical practices. This lack of assessment may be considered as one of the reasons for a consistent and gradual raise in incidence and recurrence rate of diseases. The doctor plays an important role in establishing the equilibrium of bodily constituents. He is considered the reason to initiate, assess and continue treatment till signs and symptoms of equilibrium of all the bodily constituents are established. Once alleviation of disease is done the doctor has to advice certain rules and restrictions of diet and regimen for the patients to follow in order to maintain the equilibrium of the bodily constituents. Equilibrium of all the bodily constituents is the most essential factor to assess for the completion of treatment successfully. Once the signs and symptoms of equilibrium of all the bodily constituents are properly assessed, the doctor can avoid the recurrence of diseases and also avoid the possibility of emergence of new disease. Alleviation of disease can be considered as the stepping stone towards treatment and all the other signs and symptoms of equilibrium of bodily constituents have to be established to call it a successful completion of treatment
ANALYSIS ON THE INDIVIDUAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE FLARE UP OF FOOD POISONING AMONG HOSTEL STUDENTS - A SURVEY
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3153-3164
Introduction: Diseases are of two types based on the etiological agents- food borne poisoning and food borne infections. Food poisoning is caused mainly due to Poisonous chemicals or other toxic substances present in food. Ingestion of contaminated drink or food with toxins or bacteria or chemical substances causes acute gastritis. The main problems faced by the students residing in hostels are quality of the food served, sanitation and cleanliness of the hostel, pure water supply and first aid facilities in case of need. Food directly impacts the health of the student and unsanitary food causes a negative outlook of the student which in turn impacts the students desire to stay in the hostel. Potentially risky procedures include preservation of leftovers in an unsanitary environment, reheating of food in a possible unsafe way and food preparation with unprotected wounds on their hands. Student education regarding food poisoning needs to be in focus in an effort to decrease diseases which are food borne.
Study of Factors associated with pathological and aerobic microbial colonization of Neonatal Gastrointestinal System – A hospital based Case control study
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3165-3168
The rate and extent of neonatal gastrointestinal tract colonization depends on various perinatal
and neonatal factors. Colonization of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) after birth could be delayed because of
prematurity, caesarean delivery or total parental nutrition. The ill and preterm neonates in NICU acquire
intestinal flora that differ from that of healthy newborn. Objective: Hence we aim to study the factors associated
with pathological colonization of aerobic microbial flora in neonates and find pattern of pathogenic aerobic
microbial colonization of neonates. Methodology: The study was done on 94 neonates in a tertiary teaching
hospital NICU , 51 cases with pathological colonization ,43 control with normal colonization. Data collected
using Performa, Oral and rectal swabs taken Results: 68 neonates who received antibiotics 46 (90.2%) were
cases 22(51.3%) were controls. Staphylococcus aureus was predominant suggesting influence of maternal
colonization. Cases were more in babies born through LSCS and in babies whose mother had received
antibiotics Conclusion: Of all factors influencing establishment of pathological microbiota in neonatal GIT
which are interdependent , neonatal exposure to antibiotics was the most significant . Emergence of MRSA ,
ESBL are of particular concern as these are a constant threat as source of health care associated infection

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3169-3179
The genetic relationships of Vietnamese black pepper varieties in the Central Highlands and Southern were evaluated by comparing the rbcL gene sequences of the collected black pepper varieties and the reference sequences on the base source NCBI data. Analysis results of nucleotide gene sequence variable rbcL of black pepper varieties showed Vietnamese varieties have much variable in nucleotide sequence compared to Asian varieties. The important characteristic variable areas of the Vietnam II black pepper group occurred at position 59292 (except for varieties SDL, VLDN5 and VLDN6), positions 59282 and 59295, variable appeared in 5 varieties (VLPQ1, VLVT1, VLGL3, VLDN4 and VLDN5), accounting for 41.67% of total samples collected. Genetic distances of black pepper varieties collected in the Central Highlands and the Southern, Vietnam (Vietnam II) (0.024 ± 0.005) with the Asian group were higher than those of black pepper group researched (Vietnam I) (0.001 ± 0.001). The phylogenetic tree demonstrated the difference between the two groups of Vietnamese black pepper. Among the varieties in the Vietnam II group, only the VLDN6 pepper variety has a close relationship with the Asian group. Analyzing the variable positions, the group Vietnam II was divided into 3 groups: Group I: VLPQ3; Group II: VLGL3, VLDN4 and VLDN5; Group III: SDL, VLVT1, VLVT2, VLDS1, VLGL1, VLPQ1 and VLPQ2. Thus, black pepper in the Central Highlands and Southern regions of Vietnam will be potential region for genetic diversity research in Asian pepper populations.
COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF CORTICAL BONE THICKNESS AT INFRAZYGOMATIC CREST, BUCCAL SHELF AREA, ANTERIOR MAXILLA FOR PLACEMENT OF BONE SCREWS IN NORMODIVERGENT, HYPODIVERGENT AND HYPERDIVERGENT PATIENTS PROTOCOL FOR CBCT STUDY
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3180-3193
Craniofacial morphology is determined by genetics, environmental factors
and functional demands. Craniofacial system involves maxillary-mandibular region,and
muscles surrounding it. Hard and soft tissues are affected by strain from masticatory
forces. Cortical bone adapts to the strain it is subjected. Strain on muscles maintains the
form and the mass of the bone. Higher strain induces production of bone while lower
strain values lead to bone loss. It is observed that strain on muscles varies in individuals
having different facial forms, bite force and malocclusion. Thus, one can relate between
muscle function, cortical bone thickness and facial divergence. 1,2 Anchorage can be
served by using sites other than teeth without unwanted side effects. With the advent of
implants for replacing missing teeth, its use for orthodontic anchorage was also
introduced.Temporary anchorage devices (TADS) are the Mini-implants commonly used in
orthodontics with versatility, minimally invasiveness and cost effectiveness. Use of TADS
as the means of absolute anchorage is one of the most important revolution in anchorage
considerations over last few years. 4
Classifying Covid-19 Chest X-ray Images Using Machine Learning Algorithms and Deep Learning: A Comparative Analysis
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3194-3207
More than a year since the novel coronavirus was first discovered, its presence is
still prevalent throughout the world. In such grave situations if technology can help
humans combat the spread, then why not explore it. Therefore, keeping this in mind,
several researchers have already started investigating artificial intelligence algorithms to
find solutions to predict coronavirus using X-ray images of chest. But due to lack of
dataset during the initial days of their research, many came up with framework using pre
trained image classification models such as VGG-16, Inceptionv3, ResNet-50 and others.
In this paper, the performance of two machine learning algorithms which are support
vector machine and decision tree has been evaluated. Further developed deep learning
model applying convolutional neural network to classify the chest x-ray images as covid-19
or normal. The final CNN model was also integrated with a user interface and hosted on
web server for easy access which allows anyone to upload the chest x-ray image from his
computer or mobile and check the result.

Review: The Effect Of Iron Homeostasis During Pregnancy On Maternal And Fetal Body
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3232-3244
Millions of people suffer from iron deficiency which can lead to anemia annually. Most of those population are low income, and poor diet intake which leads to health and function implications. Interestingly, woman and particularly pregnant female are increase their demand for iron supplement to avoid the serious health consequences on their body and fetus. The iron deficiency and anemia have a great risk on pregnant women and fetus heath which can induce many health defects during perinatal period. On the other hand, the excessive iron level in the mother body can lead to Fenton reaction and generation of free radical which can damage fetus tissue specially in brain, liver and kidney. Therefore, adjusting iron dose and level during pregnancy are a crucial medical intervention to avoid multi organ damage either by deficiency or excessive intake of iron. In this review, iron metabolism and its effect on mother and fetus health will be discussed with the appropriate intervention to control the low and high level of iron during pregnancy.
To study the changing pattern of bacterial flora and their sensitivity patterns in grade IIIB open fractures of long bones: a prospective study at a Tertiary Centre in North India
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3245-3259
Primary goal in management of open fractures is prevention of infection of bone and soft tissue by early debridement, irrigation of wound and administration of broadspectrum antibiotics with stabilization of fractures. The pattern of organisms found in open fractures is important in the selection of antibiotics for prophylaxis and empirical treatment. In this prospective study, 50 consecutive patients of all ages, both the sexes, with open fracture of grade IIIB as per Gustilo- Anderson classification were evaluated for bacterial isolates. Higher rate of infection was found in patients with farm injuries and leg was most common site. The most common gram negative and gram positive bacteria isolated were E.coli and S.aureus respectively (19.5% each). On analysis of the predebridement, post-debridement, and third culture, positive pre-debridement culture showed maximum growth of Gram-positive bacteria. However, majority of these patients were found to have growth of different organism in their post-debridement culture reports.
The Effect of Empowerment Education on Prevention of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis in Immobility Patients
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3260-3265
Incontinence can cause serious complications such as skin damage in the perineum.
Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD) is skin damage caused by exposure to urine or faces.
Health education is sometimes not optimal because of its inaccurate purpose and lack of patients'
involvement and empowerment. Patient or nurse empowerment-based-health education or
educational empowerment is a reciprocal relation between professional health care providers and
patients in which patients develop their skill, knowledge, and self-confidence to determine the focus
on health care. The study aimed to find out the effect of empowerment education on preventing the
incident of IAD in immobility patients. The study was quasi-experimental with two groups pre-test
and post-test. Thirty-six were sample divided into two groups (control and intervention) and
collected by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed by using paired t-test and an independent ttest.
The results showed that there was a difference between pre and post-intervention so that there
was the effect of empowerment education on prevention of the incident of IAD in immobility
patients.
study on the Role of Social Capital in Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience Building evidence from the coastal communities, Odisha, India
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3266-3284
The purpose of this study is to highlight the role Social capital played in protecting the
most vulnerable families and individuals in emergency and carried out series of preventive
and preparedness strategies to effectively manage risk and crisis situation during the wake
of disaster. The researcher primarily engaged qualitative methods of data collection like
focused group discussion, key informant interview and observation. Men and women from
the different occupation very much affected by disasters like flood and cyclone in the year
2011(great flood), 2013 (cyclone Phailin) and 2019 (cyclone Fani) participated in the data
collection process. The empirical results suggest that social capital in the form of bonding,
bridging and linking extended humanitarian support to the individuals, families and
communities in pre, during and post disaster situation especially providing relief, rescue,
and evacuation and above all solaced the people suffered from psychological and physical
shocks due to horrendous loss of livelihood and infrastructure they witnessed. The
immediate support, cooperation and help that the disaster victims received are they
themselves. Before the govt. administration or any external help reaches, people in the
communities helped each other for survival. Social capital for and with the most
vulnerable people is like an informal insurance in cases of disasters.
These findings may be eye-opening fact for the readers, researchers, developmental
professional and policy makers to formulate a road map to build resilient communities

Hospital is one of the strategic elements to improve the public health status.
Therefore, a hospital needs a design or strategy to carry out a sustainable service
process. One such care model is case management. This study aims atevaluating the
implementation ofcase management programs at Central Public HospitalHaji Adam
Malik Medan. This type of research is mixed-method research with a sequential
explanatory design approach. The instruments used at the quantitative stage were
demographic data, perception questionnaires of room nurses about the implementation
of case management programs, and observation sheets for the implementation of case
management programs. Meanwhile, at the qualitative stage, the focus group discussion
(FGD) interview guides were used. This research had been conducted within two
months.The samples were 46 nurses consisting of heads of rooms and team leaders.
For the qualitative stage, there were 9 participants. The results based on the perception
questionnaires showedthat respondents’major characteristics were educated with
Nurse Profession Certificate (95.7%), female (100%), positioned as team
leaders(69.6%), and had worked for 17—22 years (60.9%). Characteristics based on
the observation sheets were educational background with NurseProfession Certificate
(66.7%),gender of female (100%), and work experienceof 17—22 years (66.7%). The
results of the questionnairesalso revealed that nurses’perceptions about the
implementation of case management programswere good (87%). The results of the
observations showed that the implementation of case management had been carried
out well (100%). However, the activities were carried out orally, were not structured,
and were not documented according to standards. The results of FGD obtained 4
themes, namely: 1) case management programs that have been carried out in hospitals,
2) obstacles in implementing the case management programs, 3) supporting factors for
the implementation of case management programs, 4) future expectations for case
managers.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3300-3316
Diabetes mellitus is a group of physiological dysfunctions characterised by increased blood
glucose level resulting directly from insulin resistance or impaired insulin secretion leading to
micro and macrovascular complications. The oral complications of diabetes mellitus includes
increased incidence of dental caries, dry mouth, burning mouth syndrome and periodontitis.
Assessment of blood glucose levels is essential prior to any specialised procedure to avert any
further oral and systemic complications. Screening of diabetes mellitus condition has become
a necessity in developing countries and study of this nature will have enormous public health
impact. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in patients visiting
different outpatient departments of private dental college hospital, Chennai. All the cases
referred from the month of June 2019 to March 2020 for random blood sugar tests were
chosen for the study. Data was collected from the dental hospital record system. Result data
was tabulated in excel and imported to SPSS for correlation and association. P<0.05 was
considered to be the level of statistical significance in this study. Within the limits of the
present study, diabetes mellitus prevalence in random blood sugar tested patients is 33.3 %
with a higher male incidence and more prevalent among the age group of 41 to 60 years.
Knowledge about the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the patients visiting dental hospital will
be helpful to the clinician to prevent any further complications before any specialised
procedure.

Background: Odontogenic cysts are distinctive disorders that affect oral and maxillofacial
tissues.The majority of odontogenic cysts such as dentigerous cysts and orthokeratinized
odontogenic cyst show an indolent course, whilst others demonstrate an aggressive behavior
and may have higher recurrence rate like odontogenic keratocysts and glandular odontogenic
cysts.Here wecompared FAK and PCNA expression in the previously mentioned cysts and
attempted to correlate the findings to their variable clinical behaviors.
Aim of the study:This study aimed to clarify the role of epithelial to mesenchymal transition in
invasion potential, proliferation and aggressiveness of these lesions, which had been achieved.
Methods: Double Immunostaining technique for FAK and PCNA was performed on the same
tissue specimens using two types of chromogens. DAB chromogen was used for the assessment
of nuclear expression of PCNA, while AEC chromogen was used for the assessment of
cytoplasmic expression of FAK.
Results: The greatest mean of the nuclear immunoexpression of PCNA was recorded in
glandular odontogenic cyst group, followed by the odontogenic keratocyst, while the greatest
mean area percent of the cytoplasmic expression of FAK was recorded in odontogenic
keratocyst group, followed by the glandular odontogeniccyst
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STRESS AND PERIODONTAL DISEASE
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3353-3361
Introduction. The severity and nature of periodontal disease depend on a number of factors. An
important place is occupied by the general condition of the body, the presence of systemic
diseases, environmental influences, and chronic stress and so on. A number of clinical studies
have examined the possible relationship between psychological stress and periodontal disease.
Objectives. To determine the influence of psychosomatic state on periodontal tissues of the
examined residents.
Material and methods. To conduct the study, a questionnaire of 350 residents of Kyiv and several
other cities of Ukraine was conducted. Diagnosis of anxiety self-assessment was performed by
determining the Spielberger-Khanin test of reactive and personal anxiety and DASS-21. The
subjects examined the oral cavity and assessed the condition of the periodontium.
Results. A higher level of systemic diseases was found in residents with insufficient living
conditions. It also affected the higher level of personal anxiety of residents. High levels of
personal anxiety affect the prevalence and structure of periodontal disease. Thus, the study of the
impact of psychoemotional stress on the course of periodontal disease and further development of
appropriate schemes of rational treatment of periodontal disease (periodontitis) in people with
psychoemotional stress.
Conclusions. Analysis of the levels of reactive anxiety in the subjects depending on the presence
and type of periodontal diseases showed that the subjects with the presence of chronic gingivitis,
the level of reactive anxiety was quite moderate. A slightly higher level of reactive anxiety was
found in patients with periodontitis. The level of personal anxiety is higher if the subjects have
periodontitis.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3410-3419
Tobacco consumption is one of the major health problems in public health sector. Among
tobacco consumption smoking is a leading preventable cause of death in developed as well as
developing countries. Cigarette smoking contributes to oral as well as general health issues
including Asthma, COPD and Cancer. A dynamic comprehensive approach is required for
breaking the habit of tobacco consumption in any form. Various studies conducted in the past
proposed that intensive tobacco cessation interventions involving behavioral support plays an
important role in the treatment of addiction. Public health professionals can play an important
role in creating awareness among people regarding the ill effects of tobacco consumption.
Public health professionals can create awareness through printed materials, newspapers,
magazines, media etc. Advertisement and promotion of tobacco products are needed to be
banned throughout the country. Government should take initiatives at central and state level
to establish tobacco cessation clinics (TCCs).In this review we discussed the efficacy of various
behavioral and pharmacological medications in tobacco cessation

Background: Pre-hospital emergency medicine also referred to as pre-hospital care, immediate care, or emergency medical services medicine is a medical subspecialty which focuses on caring for seriously ill or injured patients before they reach hospital, and during emergency transfer to hospital or between hospitals to providing timely care to victims of sudden and life-threatening injuries or emergencies in order to prevent needless mortality or long-term morbidity. Therefore, the aim of this paper to review the available pre-hospital emergency system model in relation to the contexts of Ethiopia with implication of selecting the model suits to the country.
Methods: Initial search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched for studies of Pre-Hospital Medical Emergency Service Systems Models from 2005 until January 30, 2021. Studies evaluating Pre-Hospital Medical Emergency Service systems with evidence of widespread adoption (Anglo-American, Franco-German, Dutch, Sarajevo and the Japanese models and uniform and tiered response). This approach began from the philosophical perspective that prehospital services should be performed and reported in adherence to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines.
Results: The result of this study showed that resource constraints and cost-efficient emergency medical service affecting the utilization of pre-hospital services.
Conclusion: Given resource constraints, considerations and cost-efficient emergency medical service our finding suggest that Anglo- American model and two-tiered pre-hospital ambulance system consisting of semi advanced and basic life support for emergency and nonemergency patient care that support by trained Emergency Medical Technicians were effective for resource less developed country including Ethiopia.
Estimation of soil moisture using SAR and Optical imagery in Area with Semi-arid and rainy seasons
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2708-2716
The objective of this work was to find a model to estimate surface soil moisture
by using the available andfree satellite imagery data of synergy of single polarized C-band
sentinel-1 and Optical Sentinel-2 Data acquired in dry and wet seasons on study site in
Niger.Water cloud model (WCM) was selected in this study due to its ability to describe
backscattering coefficients interms of soil proprieties and vegetation proprieties. First, we
founded the relation between Sentinel-1 backscattering coefficients𝝈𝑽𝑽
𝟎 and 𝝈𝑽𝑯
𝟎 in Cbandthat
are adjusted to minimizevegetation effect, and ground measurement of soil
moisture [downloaded from the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN)], using linear
regression with Gradient descent. The sensitivity of the SAR backscatter to in situ
measurement was estimated as 0.7 and 0.43db/Vol% for VV and VH polarizations,
respectively. Second, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was used as
vegetation descriptor in the WCM, it is extracted directly from the preprocessed sentinel-2
optical images. The Calibration of WCM consists in fitting the model against ground
measurements and estimated parameters for VV and VH polarization by minimizing the
sum of squares of the differences between the simulated and measured radar signal

Association between Subcutaneous Tissue Thickness Measurement at Fetal Abdomen and Expected Fetal Birth Weight
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2744-2751
Background: In the diagnosis and treatment of macrosomia, which is related to
birth pain, asphyxia, and maternal morbidity, estimating foetal weight may be
critical.Fetal abdominal subcutaneous tissue thickness (FASTT) is one such
ultrasound parameter that is an independent consideration in predicting big
babies and can estimate foetal weight for high for gestational age babies when
substantiated with other ultrasound parameters.The aim of this study was to
determine the importance of using ultrasonography to measure subcutaneous
tissue thickness in predicting foetal birth weight.
Patients and methods: This prospective observationl study included 276 pregnant
women at term admitted to the obstetric ward and scheduled for elective Cesarean
section or induction of labor or during labor. Ultrasonographic evaluation was
done immediate before delivery for measurement of the thickness of the
subcutaneous fat tissue at the anterior abdominal wall was done three times and the
average was taken. Ultrasonic estimation of fetalweight , actual birth weight
immediately after delivery by a neonatologist in the delivery room using (SECA
digital medical weighing) and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat tissue were
recorded.
Results:FASTTand birth weight were found to have a positive association. A
responsive measure to predict large babies is the FASTT of 6.85 mm. The FASTT
test is not accurate enough to estimate the birth weight of small babies weighing
less than 2500 grammes.
Conclusion:Along with other established birth weight markers, FASTT may be used
as a secondary predictor to forecast big for gestational age infants.
Prediction of Oesophageal Varices in Compensated Cirrhotic Patients
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2752-2763
Background: The prevalence of gastro-esophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis
ranges from 40 to 80%.The most lethal complication of cirrhosis is Upper GIT
Bleeding (UBG) caused by rupture of oesphageal and gastric varices, with a mortality
rate of 17 to 57 percent.We aimed at evaluation of platelet count splenic diameter ratio
(PSR) and Liver stiffness, spleen size to platelet count ratio risk score (LSPS) for
prediction of oesophageal varices.
Patients and methods: this study included 51 patients with compensated cirrhosis.
Screening upper endoscopy was done for detection of OV. They also evaluated by
transient elastography, laboratory tests and divided according to the presence of OV.
We compared both groups based onLSPS,ALBI-PLT score and PSR.
Results:LSPS ratio had sensitivity 87.88% and specificity 88.89% for prediction of
OV.Regarding Platelet count /Splenic diameter ratio the cut off value for prediction of
OV was 909.09 with sensitivity 87.9% and specificity 88.9%.ALBI-PLT scorehad
sensitivity 75.8%and specificity72.2%.
Conclusion: ALBI-PLT score, PSR and LSPS provided good diagnostic toolfor
prediction of oesophagealvarices. The combination of LS with PSR did not have
valuable increase in sensitivity or specificity.
Evaluation of Colonic Wall Thickness in Ulcerative Colitis Using Trans abdominal Ultrasound: Cross Sectional Study
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2764-2773
Background: ulcerative colitis is one type of IBD and its prevalence is increasing
worldwide and in Egypt and the disease itself carries a lot of sufferings and burden
on the patients due to its chronic course and periods of relapse, ulcerative colitis
needs regular follow up and monitoring, the use of ultrasound is being increased in
diagnosis and follow upof IBD patients as a simple, reliable and non-invasive
method.
Patients and methods: this study included a group of 30 ulcerative colitis patients in
different disease activity and tested by the trans abdominal ultrasound to measure
the wall thickness of sigmoid colon as marker of disease inflammation and activity.
Results: the study showed that there is a significant difference in the colonic wall
thickness between different disease activity and showed that ultrasound is sensitive
to detect this change in colonic wall thickness.
Conclusion: ultrasound in the hands of the trained personnel is a valuable tool to
assess the activity of ulcerative colitis by detection of changes in the colonic wall
thickness.
Treatment of Extra Articular Distal Third Tibia Fracture: Plating Versus Nailing
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2774-2783
Background: The management of the fracture of lower third tibia remains a great
challenge to the surgeon. The present study was aimed to evaluate and compare the
intraoperative and postoperative outcomes between plate fixation, and
intramedullary nail for identifying proper indications of both methods of fixation.
Patients and Method: During 2015 - 2019, 96 cases with distal tibial fractures had
been treated using either M.I.P.O technique or Expert intramedullary nailing
technique, in a prospective study conducted in Zagazig University Hospitals. 48 cases
had been treated by M.I.P.O technique and 48 cases had been treated by Expert
intramedullary nailing technique.
Results: The results suggest that M.I.P.O technique was not always the best choice for all
types of fractures of lower third tibia. Expert I.M.N, with less soft tissue disruption, good
coronal, and sagittal alignment, was considered a standard operative treatment for
diaphyseal tibial fractures. However, cases with I.M.N should follow weight-bearing
restrictions until there is obvious callus formation in order to prevent malunion, broken
distal screws, or propagation of nail into ankle joint.
Conclusion: The study suggests that both Expert I.M nailing, and M.I.P.O.
techniques were appropriate treatments of distal tibial fractures. M.I.P.O. fixation,
and Expert I.M nailing were safe, and effective treatment options for fractures of
lower third tibia, because both of them could provide similar good function
outcomes. Expert I.M nailing must have the priority for distal tibial fractures with
soft tissue injury, or fractures that occurred more than 5 cm from the tibial plafond.
M.I.P.O should have the priority for distal tibial fracture with good skin condition,
soft tissue condition, or fractures that occurred less than 5 cm from tibial plafond.
Prediction of Failed Coronary Reperfusion after Thrombolytic Therapy in ST - Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2784-2794
Background: Around the globe, acute myocardial infarction is the primary cause
of congestive heart failure and death.There is currently no rating system in place
to predict thrombolytic failure in STEMI patients .The aim of the study was to
demonstrate that CHA2DS2-VASc-HS scores would predict missing reperfusion
in STEMI patients on thrombolytic therapy.
Patients and methods: This is a cross sectional prospective study conducted on
70 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who were treated with
streptokinase who were grouped into two groups. Group I: STEMI patients with
successful thrombolysis (30 patients). Group II: STEMI Patients with failed
thrombolysis (40 patients). The CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score was formulated and
Coronary angiography was performed .Gensini score estimation for relative severity
of these lesions and compared to CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score for achieving the aim
of the study.
Results:There was a statistically significant difference between both group
according to CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF and Gensini score There was strong positive
correlation between CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score and Gensini score. The cut-off
value of CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score that can predict failed thrombolytic therapy in
STEMI patients was 4 (AUC= 0.93%, CI 95% ranged from, sensitivity=95 %,
specificity= 76%)
Conclusion:This score may help doctors working in non-PCI hospitals
determine the risk of failed reperfusion using a well-documented formula that takes
into account a variety of risk factors related to the severity of CAD in STEMI
patients.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2795-2805
Objective:
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a tyrosine kinase that belongs to the focal adhesion complex that proved to
have a serious role in cancer progression through its upregulation, while proliferating cell nuclear antigen
(PCNA) is a proliferation indicating marker that involved in tumors behavior regarding invasiveness. Our
aim is to assess the synchronization in the upregualtion of both markers through double immunostaining
and their correlation with prognosis worsening in well differentiated and poorly differentiated oral squamous
cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Study design:
A total number of 60 OSCC lesions distributed equally (n= 30) between the first group (well differentiated
OSCC) & second group of (poorly differentiated OSCC). Double immunostaining with FAK &PCNA was
carried out to determine their localization. Area percent measurement of FAK and nuclear count for PCNA
were performed and analyzed.
Results:
Both area percent measurement of FAK and nuclear count of PCNA are higher in the poorly differentiated
OSCC group than that of the well differentiated OSCC group, results showed statistically significant
difference between the groups.
Conclusion:
Our results indicate that both FAK and PCNA are upregulated in poorly differentiated OSCC than in the
well differentiated OSCC supporting their role in cancer aggressiveness & progression together with poor
prognosis in higher grades of same tumor
Mean Platelet Volume as a Prognostic Factor in Acute Kidney Injury
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2806-2813
Introduction: Acute kidney injury is a global health burden that is associated with high incidence of morbidity and mortality .There are not much studies about the already available parameters of complete blood count. Mean Platelet Volume can be an investigation that can be put for in-depth study to know the prognosis of acute kidney injury. Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out in acute kidney injury patients for a period of 2 years from September 2016 to September 2018. Blood report of mean platelet volume including red blood cell distribution width were collected. Result: It was seen that patients belonging to middle age between 31-50 years constituted the majority of the cases of acute kidney injury. It was shown that patients having a lower values of Mean Platelet Volume are more prone for the requirement of dialysis when the two groups were compared to look for significance in predicting the requirement of dialysis (P=0.03) Improvement after dialysis was better in patients with higher values of Mean Platelet Volume than patients with lower values of Mean Platelet Volume even though the difference between the values of Mean Platelet Volume were not significant. (P=0.568) There is a negative correlation between values of creatinine and Mean Platelet Volume (P <0.001). Conclusion: Mean Platelet Volume could be inexpensive and superior investigation to creatinine in early detection of acute kidney injury which needs to be studied further with larger sample size .
Estimation of the global horizontal solar irradiation GHI for the Moroccan national territory from meteorological satellite images of the Second Generation Meteosat series MSG
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2814-2826
Illuminance is the power of radiation per unit area (W/m2). Its projection on the ground on a horizontal plane named GHI (Global horizontal irradiance) is the meteorological quantity commonly used to estimate and forecast photovoltaic production. The GHI at a given location varies mainly according to the zenithal solar angle and the transparency of the atmosphere. The first variable can be calculated with good accuracy, the second depends on the cloud cover and the concentration of optically active atmospheric components. Apart from clouds, solar radiation modeling for solar energy generally retains aerosols, water vapor and ozone as significant components. A few Moroccan researchers have been able to estimate the global horizontal GHI irradiance using ground-based measurements. These data are insufficient because the measurement stations are located in well-defined geographical sites and therefore do not cover all the Moroccan national territory. The scientific literature specifies that images taken by geostationary satellites are a reliable source to obtain solar irradiance data with a quasi continuous spatial coverage. The objective of the present work is to evaluate the GHI for the whole Moroccan national territory from the images of the second generation MSG meteorological satellites by the procedure of the two methods Heliosat-2 and ARSC (Atmospheric Science Research Centre).
ROLE OF CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN DIAGNOSING MAXILLARY SINUS PATHOLOGIES - A REVIEW
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2877-2833
The most common disease affecting the maxillary sinus is of odontogenic origin. Dental practitioners should be aware about the pathologies related to maxillary sinus and its relationship to maxillary dentition and supporting structures. After the introduction of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), it has become the imaging modality of choice for clinicians in evaluating maxillary sinuses and maxillofacial structures. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging can be achieved by CBCT, which offers volumetric data about sinus pathologies and relationship between the maxillary teeth roots and the antrum with relatively low radiation doses and costs. CBCT is also capable of guiding the clinicians in final diagnosis, treatment planning and follow up. This review aims to emphasize the role of CBCT in the detection of maxillary sinus pathologies in day to day dental practice. Further studies using 3-D visualization in sinus pathologies will yield a fundamental data & guidelines for future research. However, more research is required to authenticate its use in odontogenic maxillary sinusitis.
ESTIMATION OF C REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVELS AND STUDY OF THEIR SIGNIFICANCE IN PATIENTS OF BIPOLAR DISORDER
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2834-2849
Bipolar disorder is predominantly a regular psychological disorder with recurring periods of (hypocritical) mood changes. Past experiments have shown that multiple neuroscience pathways play a crucial role in BD patients' molecular pathogenesis. There is, still, a shortage of specific biomarkers that better detect or forecast patients with BD. The goal of the research is to determine CRP levels in bipolar patients and equate the results of the study with levels of C - reactive protein in safe controls. Moreover, the present thesis also analyzed whether there was a disparity in CRP degree in bipolar disorder (i.e., acute mania, acute depression and asymptomatic patients and maintenance) Patients attended or admitted to TMM&RC TMU in Moradabad obtained this prospective examination. Inclusion requirements and demographic specifications were then recorded. Patients were included. A total of 86 patients included 46 (53.5%) male patients and 40 (46.5%) female patients. The average ño-SD of patients with CRP with bipolar disorder (6.57 ± 4.05) are substantially greater than the mean ± SD of patients with CRP with non-bipolar disorder (2.26 ± 1.53) (P<0.0001) and this analysis shows that C-reactive protein levels was slightly higher than in the patients with bipolar disorders as compared to controls. However, no such substantial correlation of demographic variables was identified in this analysis of bipolar disorder. More validated and accurate results will be collected from further trials of more patients.

Frequency of Diabetic Nephropathy in Diabetic Children and Adolescents at Children Hospital of Zagazig University
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2850-2861
Background:Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is defined as kidney disease attributed
to diabetes. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common micro vascular complication
of diabetes .DN develops in 15-20% of subjects with T1DM and in similar or higher
percentage of T2DM patients, causing increased morbidity and premature
mortality. American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends screening for
nephropathy 5 years after diagnosis for type 1 diabetes and at diagnosis for type 2
diabetes.Aim: To estimate the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy in children and
adolescent diagnosed with diabetes Method: A case control study was carried on
one hundred and fifty of children went to pediatrics clinics of zagazig university
hospital. They were classified in to 75 diabetic children who were type 1DM for
more than 4 years and their age less than 18 years old and 75 non diabetic children
of the same gender and age. Both groups under go full history, clinical and
laboratory investigations during the period from December 2018 to November 2019.
Result: frequency of persistent microalbuminuria and hypertension among diabetic
patients were 293 per 1000 and 160 per 1000patient respectively.Conclusion: Type1
diabetic children and adolescent are liable for the occurrence of early diabetic
nephropathy so intensive diabetes therapy is needed, regular screening for MA and
measurement and interpretation of BP and GFR
Primary Intracranial Ewing Sarcoma: Case series and review of literature
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2872-2878
Ewing sarcoma, along with peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour, belongs to a
tumour family that shares clinicopathologic and molecular genetic features, including the
characteristic chromosomal translocation that results in the fusion opf EWS gene on
22q12 to either FLI1 gene on 11q24. In contrast , such translocations are not found in
central primitive neuroectodermal tumours(cPNETs). Ewing sarcoma has only rarely been
noted to primarily involve the central nervous system- extraoseus Ewing sarcoma(CNSESS).
We report a case series of three patients with intracranial extension
Intramedullary Nailing Versus Plating for Treatment of Humeral Shaft Fractures in Adults
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2879-2889
Background:A fracture of the humerus shaft is commonly encountered by orthopedic
surgeons and the successful treatment of a humeral shaft fracture demands a knowledge
of anatomy, surgical indications, techniques and implants, patient functions and
expectations. The aim of the current study was to compare the outcome of interlocking
intramedullary nailing versus plating of diaphyseal humeral shaft fracture in adults
Patients and Methods: This prospective clinical trial was carried in Orthopedic
Department, Zagazig Universityin Egypt Hospitals and Alwahda Hospital in Libya, on 36
cases with Humeral shaft fractures Group 1: included 18 patients managed by
Intramedullary Nailing, Group 2: included 18 patients managed by plating during the
period from March 2020 to December 2020.Patients were followed post operatively for
union, and clinical assessment was done using The American Shoulder and Elbow
Surgeons scale.
Results:Radial nerve injury was significantly higher in plate group and delayed union and
nonunion was higher in nail with no significant.Excellent represent 72.2% in nail group
and 66.7% in plate group, good represent 11.1% of both groups and fair founded 16.7% in
plate group and 5.6% in nail group 2 cases were poor in Nail and 1 case was poor in plate
Nail group was significantly associated with satisfaction.
Conclusion: The intramedullary nail fixation for humerus is treatment of choice in
osteoporotic bone, less rate of infection less blood loss, however it associated with higher
incidence of shoulder discomfort, and more malunion and non unuon rate
Role of ultrasound and MRI in patients with shoulder pathologies: A correlation study
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2890-2899
Introduction: The rotator cuff disorders constitute the most common cause of shoulder
pathologies. Ultrasonography and MRI are widely used in evaluating various shoulder
pathologies. USG of shoulder is simple, cheap, fast and non-invasive imaging technology
for detection of rotator cuff and non- rotator cuff abnormalities. In this study we have
assessed the usefulness of USG in diagnosing the shoulder pathologies and have correlated
with the MRI.
Aim: Evaluation of a patient with shoulder pathology with ultrasonography as the initial
line of imaging technique as compared to MRI, assessing the accuracy of ultrasonography
in diagnosing shoulder joint pathologies, especially rotator cuff abnormalities, using MRI
as a reference standard and correlating findings wherever possible.
Materials and Methods: Hundred patients were studied prospectively over a period of two
years. Study subjects included both men and women in all age groups with suspected
shoulder pathology, suspected to have musculo-tendinous origin. All patients underwent
USG evaluation of the shoulder joint followed by MRI of the affected shoulder.
Results: USG showed a sensitivity of 85%, specificity of 100%, PPV of 100% and NPV of
97% in diagnosing full thickness tear of rotator cuff using MRI as reference. For partial
thickness tears, it showed a sensitivity of 71%, specificity of 69%, PPV of 82% and NPV of
54%. Overall accuracy of USG in detection of any tear of rotator cuff with MRI as
reference was 82%. The strength of agreement between USG and MRI for the diagnosis of
any tear of rotator cuff is considered to be ‘substantial’ in our study (Kappa=0.635).
Conclusion: USG showed comparable results to MRI in assessment of rotator cuff
abnormality and should be used as first line of investigation in patients presenting with
shoulder pathologies. It proved to have high sensitivity and specificity for full thickness
tears with relatively less sensitivity and specificity in detection of partial thickness tear.
Protective Effects of Propranolol and Carvedilol on ExperimentallyInduced Ulcerative Colitis in Male Albino Rat
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2900-2914
Background:Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of large intestine.
Overproduction of free radicals, lowered antioxidant capacity, inflammation and
abnormal apoptosis are involved in its pathogenesis. Propranolol and carvedilol, β-
blockers with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects which may have a protective role
in UC.
The study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of propranolol and carvedilol on UC
development and to distinguish which of them have greater beneficial effect on
experimentally-induced UC in male albino rats.
Methods: Fifty male albino rats were randomly allocated to five groups with each group
comprising eleven rats except control group composed of six rats. Group (1): control
group, Group (2): ulcerative colitis group, Group (3): propranolol-pretreated (30
mg/kg/d), Group (4): carvedilol-pretreated (30 mg/kg/d) and Group (5): mesalazinepretreated
(300 mg/kg/d). Treated groups received drugs by oral gavage for seven days
before and three days after induction of colitis. UC was induced in groups 2 to 5 by
intrarectal administration of 1ml of 4% Acetic Acid (AA), while group (1)received 1 ml of
normal saline solution administered intrarectally instead. To estimate the severity of AAinduced
UC and the effect of propranolol and carvedilol, the following parameters were
measured: colon weight/length (W/L) ratio, colon weight/body weight (CW/BW) ratio,
colonic malondialdehyde (MDA) and colonic markers of inflammation [tumor necrosis
factor (TNF-α) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)] and macroscopic and microscopic
scorings.
Results:In UC group, colon W/L ratio, CW/BW ratio, macroscopic and microscopic
scorings and colonic levels of MDA, TNF-α and NF-κBwere significantly increased.
Pretreatment with propranolol, carvedilol and mesalazine significantly reduced these
parameters when compared to UC group. However, colon W/L ratio, CW/BW ratio,
macroscopic scoring of mucosal damage and colonic MDA, TNF-α and, NF-κB levels in
carvedilol-pretreated group were significantly lower than propranolol-pretreated group.
Conclusion:Both propranolol and carvedilol had a coloprotective effect againstAAinduced
UC depending on their ability to decreases inflammation and oxidative stress
state in rat colon; butcarvedilol had better effects than propranolol. Thus, carvedilol can
be considered the β-blocker of benefit in patients with UC who have other co-existing
diseases indicatingthe use of β-blockers.
Assessment of Intracranial Pressure in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Using Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter and Transcranial Doppler
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2915-2925
Background:Head trauma is defined as any physical hit or blow towards the head, which may
or may not lead to an injury of the underlying brain. We consider a traumatic brain injury
(TBI) to be a possible consequence of the traumatic event towards the head.
Severe trauma is responsible of more than 5 million deaths every year worldwide and this
incidence is expected to increase in the coming decades.
TBI is the most severe condition observed in trauma patients, given that nearly 33% of patients
with TBI die in hospital and another 33% have poor neurological recovery.
Prevention and treatment of intra-cranial hypertension (ICH) are the cornerstones of treatment
for patients with TBI in intensive care units (ICUs), as uncontrolled ICH worsens brain
damage and remains the most common cause of death after severe TBI.
Assessment of AgomelatinePossible Protective EffectinUlcerative Colitis Patients; An Overview
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2926-2937
Background: Ulcerative colitis, a life-long recurrent relapsing-remitting disorder, is a type of
debilitating chronic IBD of the colon that causes a superficial mucosal inflammation in a
continuous fashion extending from the rectum to the more proximal colon, in varying extents.
The hallmark symptoms of UC include bloody diarrhea with rectal urgency and tenesmus.
Many UC patients experience extra intestinal manifestations (EIM) that involve multiple organs
like erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum and arthritis. mucosa of the GIT is exposed to
millions of antigens from the food, environment and microbiome. The epithelial barrier,
covered by a mucinous layer, is the first-line defense of the mucosal immune system, because it
provides physical separation between host immune cells and luminal microbes.
Treatment of UC consists mainly of 5-aminosalycilates (5-ASAs), corticosteroids,
immunosuppressive drugs, and monoclonal antibodies to TNF-α. Treatment success is
dependent on several factors, such as use of the right drug for the right indication (induction vs
maintenance), optimization of the dose, and maximization of drug adherence (non-adherence to
mesalazine is associated with increased rates of relapse).Treatment should be tailored to disease
activity (mild, moderate, severe) and the extent of colonic involvement (proctitis, left-sided
colitis, or pancolitis).
Agomelatine is an atypical antidepressant with a unique receptor profile, as a melatonin
receptor (MT1 and MT2) agonist and a 5-HT2C receptor antagonist.
Study of effect of smoking on Forced expiratory flow during 25-75% of expiration (FEF25-75%)
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2938-2944
Cigarettes, the most popular method of smoking, consist of finely shredded tobacco rolled in light-weight paper. Smoke from the average cigarette contains around four thousand chemicals, some of which are highly toxic and at least 43 of which cause cancer. Nicotine, a major constituent of tobacco smoke is both poisonous and highly addictive1. FEF25- 75 %(L/sec) is the average flow rate over the middle of vital capacity. This test indicates the patency of smaller airways less than 2 mm in diameter. Aim of this study was to estimate effect of smoking on Forced expiratory flow during 25-75% of expiration (FEF25-75%) in asymptomatic smokers. The study was designed as cross section study which included 449 subjects of which 224 were in group 1 ( 0-10 Pack Year), 139 were in group2 (11-20 Pack Years), and 87 were in group 3 ( 21- 30 Pack Years ). The mean value of FEF 25-75% POST in group 1 (0-10pack years) is 3.197+1.153, Group 2 (11-20 pack years) is 2.397+1.162, and Group 3 (21-30 pack years) is 1.368+0.663 respectively. Smoking causes significant deterioration of lung function which can easily detected by using a spirometer. FEF25-75 % (L/sec) is a simple test that could be useful in early diagnosis of peripheral airway obstruction and its treatment, thereby improving the quality of life.
Concomitant invasive mycoses and bacterial infection as causes of encephalitis
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2958-2963
Invasive mycoses is fungal infection in the blood, normal sterile body fluids, deep tissue, and organ.
Concomitant invasive mycoses and bacterial infection of the central nervous system are relatively rare.
We describe a case of a 32-year-old female patient who presented seizure and decreased consciousness.
Diagnosis of encephalitis was made base on the fulfillment of major (required) and minor criteria.
From the clinical examination, there was no sign of neck stiffness. Laboratory results were suggested
Cryptococcus sp based on cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and Candida tropicalis, and Streptococcus sp α-
hemolytic group based on cerebrospinal fluid culture. Whereas CT-scan showed brain edema.
Treatment of Oral Lichen Planus with Intra-lesional Steroid Injection: Comprehensive Overview
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2964-2976
Background:Oral lichen planus is a T-cell-mediated chronic inflammatory oral mucosal disease of unknown etiology. These lesions contain few B-cells or plasma cells and minimal deposits of immunoglobulin or complement. There are no consistent serological changes associated with OLP.It predominantly occurs in adults older than 40 years, although younger adults and children can be affected. It affects women more than men in a ratio of 1.4:1. The disease affects 1-2% of the population and there is no racial predilection.It presents as white striations, white papules, white plaques, erythema, erosions, or blisters affecting predominantly the buccal ucosa, tongue, and gingivae and it is the most common non-infectious oral mucosal disease in patients referred to oral medicine and oral pathology clinics.Lesions are usually bilateral, and atrophic and erosive lesions are often sensitive or painful. There may be co-incident skin lesions that present typically as flat-topped violaceous papules affecting the wrists, ankles, and genitalia. There is ongoing concern that OLP may be premalignant. In patients who do not use tobacco products, squamous cell carcinoma may arise at the site of a pre-existing OLP lesion in less than five percent of cases, most frequently in atrophic, erosive, and plaque lesions. Hence, OLP patients are at slightly increased risk of oral cancer, although it is unlikely that OLP is inherently pre-malignant.The most commonly used group of drugs for the treatment of OLP, they have the ability to modulate inflammation and immune response. They act by reducing the lymphocytic exudate and stabilizing the lysosomal membrane. Topical mid-potency corticosteroids such as triamcinolone acetonide (TA), high-potent fluorinated corticosteroids such as fluocinonide acetonide, disodium betamethasone phosphate, and more potent halogenated corticosteroids such as clobetasol are used based on the severity of the lesion. The greatest disadvantage in using topical corticosteroids is their lack of adherence to the mucosa for a sufficient length of time
COMPARISON OF DYNAMIC LUNG FUNCTIONS AMONG FEMALE WORKERS OF BALLARI JEANS INDUSTRY WITH NON-WORKING GROUP OF FEMALES
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 2977-2999
Among various health assessment tools for industrial workers, Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) is one of the most popular tools. PFT results are closely related to people’s lifestyle. People who perform regular exercises are found to have good results in PFT. Physical activity demands strong cardiopulmonary system that is again responsible for the body’s physiological condition. The objective of this study is to compare pulmonary functions among the female workers of jeans industry in Ballari with normal healthy subjects.50 females working in various jeans manufacturing units of Ballari and 50 housewives, each between ages 18-35 years were selected for the study. This study is a comparative study and was conducted over a period of 3 months i.e., December 2020 to February 2021, When Covid-19 crisis (first wave) had subsided completely. The study requires onetime assessment of lung functions of the 100 female participants (50 jeans factory workers and 50 housewives) using RMS Helios-401 PC based Spirometer which is owned by the principal investigator. In the research, the same effect has been observed among females working in a factory and the females not working in a factory. Here these females are potentially exposed to dirt and toxic chemicals, due to which the working of their respiratory function has reduced.
Assessment of Response to Anti Leukotriene Among Children with Bronchial Asthma
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3000-3008
Background:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of airways in which many cells and
cellular elements play a role in particular, mast cells, eosinophils, T lymphocytes, macrophages,
neutrophils and epithelial cells. Inflammation causes recurrent series of wheezing,
breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing, particularly at night or in the early morning.
These episodes are usually associated with widespread and variable airflow obstruction that is
often reversible either spontaneously or with treatment.The inflammatory process can lead to an
associated increase in bronchial hyper- responsiveness (BHR) to a variety of stimuli (e.g.,
allergens, respiratory viruses and some occupational exposures). Reversibility of airflow
limitation may be incomplete in some asthmatic patients.Asthma is a heterogeneous disorder,
with different mechanism of disease processes. Many clusters of demographics, clinical and
pathophysiological characteristics are often called "asthma phenotypes"The
antibronchoconstrictor efficacy of antileukotriene drugs provided the main impetus behind their
introduction as the first novel class of asthma therapy in more than 20 yr. However, clinical
trials also provided surprising evidence for a hitherto unsuspected role of cysteinyl-leukotrienes
in promoting persistent eosinophilia in the airway and blood of patients with asthma, and
possibly influencing pathways involved in airway wall remodeling. A better under
Treatment of Extra Articular Distal Tibial Fractures Using Plating and Intramedullary Nailing
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3009-3022
Background:Distal tibial fractures are the most common long bone fractures. An incidence of 17 per 100 000 person-years, although more recent data indicate that the incidence may be declining.The tibia is the second largest bone in the body. There are two concave condyles at the proximal aspect of the tibia. The medial condyle is larger, deeper, and narrower than the lateral condyle. An elevated process, the tibial tubercle, located between the two condyles is the site of attachment of the patellar tendon. The shaft of the tibia is prismoid, with a broad proximal extent that decreases in size until the distal third, where it gradually increases in size. The tibial crest is prominent medially from the tibial tubercle to the tibial plafond and is subcutaneous without any overlying muscles.The slightly expanded distal end of the tibia has anterior, medial, posterior, lateral and distal surfaces. The distal end of the tibia, when compared to the proximal end, is laterally rotated (tibial torsion). The torsion begins to develop in utero and progresses throughout childhood and adolescence till skeletal maturity is attained.minimal invasive plate fixation (MIPO) is recommended to limit this complication and given more stability. The basic principles of this technique include in direct closed reduction, extra periosteal dissection, anatomic alignment. Plate length and screw density are key factors for the stability of fixation.Comminuted fibular fractures fixed with MIPO technique using a long bridging plate, or intramedullary fixation of the fibula with a small diameter flexible nail
Management of Patients with Spondylodiscitis: An Overview
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3023-3034
Background:Spinal infections can be described etiologically as pyogenic, granulomatous (tuberculous, brucellar, fungal) and parasitic spondylodiscitis, a term encompassing vertebral osteomyelitis, spondylitis and discitis, which are considered different manifestations of the same pathological process; epidural abscess, which can be primary or secondary to spondylodiscitis and facet joint arthropathy.When infection affects the intervertebral disc, the term to describe this condition is usually spondylodiscitis. If invades the endplates or the vertebral body, the infection is more correctly designated for vertebral osteomyelitis or spondylitis. However, at the time of diagnosis in many cases, the infection has already compromised these two structures; therefore, both terms are frequently used.Conservative treatment is the standard of care for patients with spondylodiscitis, using multidisciplinary approaches involving microbiologists, infectious disease consultants, anaesthetists, intensivists and geriatricians, with public health physicians for contact tracing. The morbidity and mortality of patients with spondylodiscitis treated conservatively has fallen from 56% to 25% over the last 15 years.However, careful selection of patients who need surgical treatment is necessary. Surgical treatment is absolutely indicated in patients with spinal cord or cauda equina compression with progressive neurological deficits. Relative surgical indications include spinal instability due to extensive bone destruction, significant deformity or conservative treatment failure
Treatment of Proximal Humerus Fractures:Comprehensive Overview
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3035-3045
Background:Proximal humerus fractures are one of the commonest fractures occurring in the
skeleton. They account for approximately 4 – 5% of the all fracture. The incidence of fracture of
the proximal humerus is bimodal in geriatric due to osteoporosis and in adolescents due to highenergy
trauma. A conservative treatment in a sling followed by functional rehabilitation under
supervision yields satisfactory results in minimally displaced fractures. The proximal humerus is
adapted to allow for the large range of motion of the shoulder joint. The proximal humerus
consists of the humeral head, the greater, lesser tuberosities, and shaft. The region of transition
between the articular cartilage and surrounding bone is defined as the anatomic neck and serves
as the site of attachment of the articular capsule, whereas the region immediately inferior to the
tuberosities is termed the surgical neck. The incidence of proximal humerus fractures is
increasing, especially in the elderly. Proximal humeral fractures account for 4% to 5% of all
fractures in adults and less than 1% of children's fractures. Approximately 3% of physeal
fractures occur through the proximal humerus.Operative management can consist of closed
reduction and percutaneous fixation, suture fixation, operative fixation with plate and screw
construct, or intramedullary fixation. The goals of operative fixation are to restore the anatomy of
the proximal humerus to allow for successful union, maximize function and early
rehabilitation.The articular surface’s relationship to the shaft must be restored to maximize range
of motion as well as stability. The tuberosities must also be reduced to their anatomical position
especially Isolated fractures of the greater tuberosity may be managed surgically even with less
displacement to maximize function of the arm by re-establishing the insertions of the rotator cuff
Plating Versus Conservative Treatment in Mid Shaft Fracture of Clavicle
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3046-3056
Background: A Clavicle fracture is a common traumatic injury as it positions
directly under the skin. Both conservative and operative methods are used for the
treatment of this fracture. But there is no uniform agreement on the best choice of
treatment. So, this study aims to assess the outcome of the conservative treatment
and operative treatment by using plate and screw of midshaft fracture of clavicle
and comparing the two treatment methods. Patients and methods: This study was
done at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Zagazig University Hospital from
April 2020 to December 2020 on 18 patients are involved then these patients were
subdivided into two groups, Group A (9 patients) for conservative treatment and
Group B (9 patients) for operative treatment by using a plate and screw fixation.
Assessment of the outcome using the constant shoulder score. Results: The time of
union was 5.33±0.70 months in the conservative group and 4.66±0.86 months in the
operative group. Constant shoulder score was in Conservative group 4 patients had
excellent score (44.4%), 2 patients had good score (22.2%), 3 patients had poor
score (33.3%) While in Operative group 6 patients had excellent score (66.6%), 1
patient had good score (11.1%), 2 patients had poor score (22.2%). Conclusion: The
non-surgical methods still the best treatment of simple nondisplaced mid-shaft
clavicular fractures. The operative methods donate a good result in active athlete's
patient with displaced or comminuted fracture.
Management of Extra Articular Distal Tibial FractureUsing Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Technique
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3057-3069
Background:Distal tibia fractures are challenging injuries. They are often caused by high
energy axial compressive, direct bending or low energy rotation forces. These fractures
constitute less than 10% of all tibial fractures. The aim of treating the fracture is to preserve
normal mechanical axis, ensure joint stability and restore a near full range of motion. This is a
difficult task to accomplish in each and every case due to compromised soft tissue condition,
variable bone quality and associated medical conditions. Distal tibia fractures are devastating
injuries that are usually due to highenergy
mechanisms such as falling from heights or motor
vehicle accidents. They may also occur from lowenergy
mechanisms, which are seen in
rotational injuries around the ankle. Results of conventional osteosynthesis with plates have
been suboptimal with reported complications of wound infection, skin breakdown and delayed
union or nonunion,
requiring secondary surgical intervention. Locking compression plating
has gained popularity and is being used frequently for fixation of distal tibia fractures. With the
use of minimal invasive techniques excellent results are obtained in complex fractures
Clavicle Fracture Management: An Updated Overview for Recent Options of Fixation
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3070-3078
Background:Clavicle fractures are common fractures, comprising 5% to 10% of all fractures
seen in emergency departments. Fractures of the middle third, or midshaft, are the most
common, accounting for up to 80% of all clavicle fractures. They occur due to falls on the
lateral aspect of the shoulder, the outstretched hand or due to high-energy direct impact over
the bone. The incidence of clavicle fractures has increased in recent years and the operative
treatment of these fractures has increased disproportionately. Clavicle fractures are most
commonly classified according to the Allman classification and the Robinson classification. The
location and type of fracture are important in decision-making as it influences management
strategies. The clavicle acts as the only osseous link between the upper extremity skeleton and
the thorax. In animals that do not bear weight on their forelimbs, it is absent. In such animals,
the scapula is stabilized to the thorax by numerous powerful muscles. The absence of a clavicle
improves running and agility on four limbs. In brachiating animals however, including man, it
serves as a solid strut to position the upper limb away from the trunk and enhance more global
positioning and use of the limb. Intramedullary fixation is often preferred over plate fixation
because it is a simpler procedure. Intramedullary fixation has a smaller surgical incision, less
invasive, easier hardware removal, and shorter hospital stay. Various devices can be used with
this surgical option including Knowles pins, Hagie pins, Rockwood pins, and minimally
invasive titanium nails. Devices need to be very flexible; the implant needs to be very stable, and
it must be small enough to pass through the medullary space at its most narrow point in the
midclavicle.
Management of Dislocated Total Hip Replacement overview guidelines
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3079-3094
Background:The hip joint is multi-axial, and synovial ball and socket variety, in general, it can
be said that; in all joints, stability and range of movement are in inverse proportion to each
other; the hip joint provides a remarkable example of a high degree of both. Its stability is
largely the result of the adaptation of the articulating surfaces of acetabulum and femoral head
to each other and its great range of mobility results from the femur having a neck that is much
narrower than the equatorial diameter of the head.Total Hip Replacement (THA) dislocation is
defined as the complete loss of articulation contact between two artificial joint components.
Postoperative dislocation is still the most common early complication after THA and one of the
most common causes of early revision of primary THA.THA dislocation can be caused by 3
mechanisms or a combination of 2 mechanisms .Depending on the mechanical cause 3
dislocation directions can be observed, even though dislocation direction and component
positioning are not necessarily related, the direction of dislocation of THR is usually posterior
(77%) ,while anterior (23%) whereas superior or lateral dislocation has also been described.
Options for Management Choice Evidence-Based Treatment of Cavus Foot Deformity
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3095-3105
Background:Cavus foot encompasses a wide range of deformities, from a subtle flexible
deformity to severe rigid cavus foot. The prevalence of cavus foot is reported to be 10 to 25% of
the population or as common as flat foot. With increasing awareness of the milder or subtle
cavus, the whole disease entity may be more prevalent. The term “pes cavus” or “cavus foot” is
used to describe a wide spectrum of foot shapes that have an abnormal elevation of the medial
longitudinal arch. High arch of the foot is frequently associated with hindfoot varus, forefoot
adduction and plantar flexion, and ankle equinus. The etiology is most frequently attributed to
the neuromuscular disorders involving brain, spinal cord, or the peripheral nerves. Two thirds
of adults with symptomatic cavus foot have an underlying neurological condition. Among them,
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, a hereditary sensory motor neuropathy, is most frequently
reported. The probability of a patient who has bilateral cavovarus feet being diagnosed with
CMT is 78%. The surgical procedures are combinations of bony reconstructions and soft tissue
procedures. As for the joint-sparing corrective osteotomies, calcaneal osteotomy, 1st metatarsal
base dorsiflexion osteotomy (1MTDFO), and midfoot dorsal closing wedge osteotomy at
cuneiform-navicular and cuboid level are considered. As for the soft tissue procedures, mainly
plantar fascia release, Achilles' tendon lengthening, and peroneus longus to brevis tenodesi s
are most frequent surgical procedures performed
The Expression Profile of Circular ANKRD36 as a Genetic Biomarker for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Related Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3106-3115
Background:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)
with covalently closed single-stranded structures. The epigenetic regulatory role of
ncRNAs in diabetes-associated cardiometabolic diseases is still evolving. This study
aimed to investigatewhether therelative expression level ofcirc. ankyrin repeat

2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3116-3128
The Er:YAG laser was proven to ablate enamel successfully. This study was aimed to
investigate the applicability of using this laser in preparing the enamel surface for
porcelain laminate veneering in comparison with the high-speed handpiece regarding
the fracture strength loading of the veneers. Twenty human maxillary central incisors
extracted were selected. They were divided into two equal groups [group I and group
II], group I: High-speed handpiece prepared specimens and group II: Er:YAG laser
prepared specimens for measuring microleakage by a binocular stereomicroscope.
The microleakage assessment results showed a significant difference in the
microleakage scores at the incisal margins of [Gr. I (group I)] the high-speed
handpiece compared to [Gr. II (group II)] the Er: YAG laser and significance
comparing the microleakage scores at the cervical margins of both groups (Gr. I) and
(Gr .II). Also, there were significant differences comparing incisal to those at the
cervical margins of (Gr.I) the high-speed handpiece and while in (Gr.II) the Er:YAG
laser group, a marked significant difference were present between the microleakage
scores at the incisal margins compared to the cervical margins.

Management of Traumatic Fibroma in the Esthetic Zone: A Case Report.
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3137-3142
Background: Traumatic/Irritational fibroma is an inflammatory hyperplastic reaction of the
soft tissues to traumatic factors such as nail-biting, ill-fitting dentures, over-hanging
restorations etc., and may present with esthetic, functional and psychological concerns.
Case description: A 28 year old male patient presented with a soft tissue overgrowth in relation
to his mandibular anterior teeth (labial gingiva). The lesion was localized, well-circumscribed,
firm in consistency with a smooth surface and painless. However, it was a major concern for
the patient both esthetically and psychologically. Thus, the lesion was excised using the scalpel
method and sent for histopathological assessment.
Conclusion: Traumatic fibroma are very common benign, intraoral, soft tissue lesions which
arise due to chronic trauma/irritation. A detailed history taking and histopathological
assessment is paramount in deducing the correct diagnosis and treatment plan.
Clinical Significance: Proper diagnosis and treatment in the form of excision of these soft
tissue lesions are pivotal to ensure the patient’s functional, esthetic and psychological
rehabilitation.

Background & Method: Biofilm production is considered to be a major virulence factor associated with health care associated infections particularly with Catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) pathogens. This study is done to find out prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and biofilm production capacity in CAUTI pathogens in patients admitted to various ICUs of Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad, and diagnosed to be suffering with CAUTI based on NHSN definitions were included in study and subjected for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and in-vitro biofilm production test using micro-titre plate method. On the basis of same criteria 55 patients were included in this study. The clinical history of the patients and other details taken for various patient variable factors like age, gender, co-morbid conditions, indoor days, device days, final patient outcome and other lab based investigations done as indicator of active infection or sepsis from the electronic hospital database available on hospital information system, to determine the incidence of antimicrobial resistance, biofilm forming capacity, to determine risk factors associated and final patient outcome with biofilm formation in CAUTI pathogens isolated from ICU patients. Chi-square test was used to check the relation between the categorical variables while t test was applied in case of continuous variables. A p value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Result: Among total 61 isolates recovered from 55 patients, 52.4% were biofilm producer. Most common isolates were pseudomonas aeruginosa (22.95%) followed by Enterococcus faecium (13.11%). Candida tropicalis and Klebsiella pneumoniae were seen among 11.47% each. Among gram negative organisms, most common resistant drug was ciprofloxacin (95.12%), followed by cefipime (87.80%), meropenam, piperacillin-tazobactem (85.37%). Deaths were seen more in biofilm negative patients (14.29%) as compared to biofilm positive (7.41%).
Conclusion: It is evident that the CAUTI remains major indwelling device associated infection in ICU patients. The biofilm production is associated with 32 (52.4%) out of total 61 isolates of CAUTI in present study.

2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3153-3160
Introduction: Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased prevalence of lipid abnormalities, contributing to their high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This study is an attempt to evaluate the diagnostic value of Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in predicting diabetic dyslipidemia.
Aims & Objectives: To study the correlation between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and serum lipid profile in Type 2 Diabetics
Material and Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted at Department of General Medicine, Khaja Banda Nawaz University, Kalaburagi,Karnataka from December 2018 to February 2019. In our study 50 patients of Type 2 diabetes mellitus were taken for the study after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, and after obtaining written and informed consent from them. HbA1c and Fasting Lipid profile were done using appropriate tests. Correlation (Pearson’s) test was used to interpret the result
Results: Mean total cholesterol was 155.76±13.41, mean total triglyceride was 180.52±17.21, mean LDL was 99.09±12.72, Mean HDL was 36.94±4.28 and mean HbA1c was 9.76±1.46. HbA1c negatively and significantly correlated with HDL (r= - 0.13). HbA1c positively and significantly correlated with total cholesterol (r=0.20) and LDL (r=0.24), did not show any show correlation with VLDL (r=0.03) and total triglycerides (r=0.02).
Conclusion: It was concluded from the results of this study that HbA1c can also be used as predictor of dyslipidaemia in Type 2 Diabetics in addition to as a glycaemic control parameter.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3161-3166
Background: The aim of this study is to explore the clinical outcomes of locking compression plates (LCPs) Philos in elderly patients with 2-4 parts proximal humerus fracture (PHF).
Material and Methods: This is a Prospective, observational and descriptive study conducted from (March 2009 to June 2017) at Department of Orthopaedics, chalmeda Anand Rao Institute of Medical Sciences, Karimnagar . Sampling methods: After confirmation of the proximal humerus fracture, patients were taken for study, if they fit into the above said criteria. Patients had undergone open reduction internal fixation with philos locking plating under GA for the sustained fracture. Post-operative physiotherapy followed according to protocol, to evaluate the functional outcome. Fractures were classified using Neer’s classification.
Results: In the present study, the most common mechanism of injury was found to be road traffic accidents with a total of 25 (62.5%) patients and rest 15 (37.5%) were injured due to accidental fall on the ground. In the present study, the right side proximal humerus fracture occurred in 22 (55%) patients and left side proximal humerus fracture occurred in 18 (45%) patients respectively. All fractures were classified according to Neer’s classification system. 17 (42.5%) patients were two-part, 13 (32.5%) were three-part and 10 (25%) were four-part. The Constant -Murley score achieved at the end of study period (6 months) was 66.32 ± 6.47.
Conclusions: The proximal humerus locking plate seems to be an adequate device for the fixation of displaced two-part, three part and four-part proximal humerus fractures. Due to stable fixation, early functional aftercare is possible and allows the patient to regain good shoulder function and resume normal activities much earlier.
MINIMAL INVASIVE DENTISTRY- A NARRATIVE REVIEW
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3167-3179
Background and Objectives: Scientific advances in cariology, dental products, and diagnostic
systems have altered dentistry's approach to the diagnosis and management of dental caries
over the last few decades. The review was undertaken to discuss the scientific rationale for
early diagnosis, a modified classification of caries based on the location and size of lesion
remineralization, the reduction of cariogenic bacteria, and the design, techniques, and
material selection for minimally invasive cavity preparation. Materials and Methods:
Literature survey was carried out in April 2021 in electronic databases such as PubMed,
SCOPUS, EMBASE, COCHRANRE library, Science Direct and manually using key words
such as “Minimally Invasive Dentistry,” “ART,” “MID,” “Minimum Intervention Dentistry”.
The searches revealed 911 articles out of which 34 were selected after reading the full text
articles. Conclusions and Practice Implications: Scientific advancements have led to the
development of minimally invasive dentistry. Emerging technology will aid the transition to
primary caries prevention, but there are still technological, cultural, and economic barriers to
their full adoption in clinical practice.
Distal Femoral Fracture Fixation with Retrograde Nailing versus Plating: Femoral Alignment Outcome
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3180-3188
Background:Distal femur fractures occur following high-energy impact in young
patients or low-energy injury in elderly patients with osteopenic or osteoporotic
bone.This study is aimed to compare the results of retrograde Nailing versus plating
technique in distal femoral fractures regarding both clinical and radiological
alignment. Patients and methods:This study was conducted on 18 patients with
distal femoral fractureswho divided into two groups; Group A treated by retrograde
femoral nail (RGN) and group B treated by Plating technique. All patients were
subjected to clinical and radiological measurements to assess the outcomes after
surgery. Results:Clinical measurements in normal limb was 4.66±1.32 in
retrograde nail group while it was 4.88±1.58 in plating group, the MAD in
fractured limp clinically was 5.38±1.89 in retrograde nail group while it was
6.48±2.31 in plating group. The radiological MAD showed significant difference
between the normal and operated side. Mechanical Lateral Distal Femoral Angle
(mLFDA) in fractured limb was 88.66±2.54 in retrograde nail group while it was
89.33±3.67 in plating group (P=0.663). Medial Proximal Tibial Angle (MPTA) in
fractured limb was 87.77±1.85 in retrograde nail group while it was 87.88±3.48 in
plating group. In spite of the excellent results in RGN group compared with group
(B), the overall results showed no significant difference statistically between the two
groups. Conclusions: Retrograde nailing is a good fixation system for fractures of
distal femur with better outcome in terms of range of movements, less infection rate
and early mobilization.
A comparative study of 30 cases of intertrochanteric fracture femur in elderly patients treated with Proximal Femoral Nailing Anti Rotation-2(PFNA-2) and Proximal Femoral Nailing (PFN)
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 3189-3196
Increased life expectancy has led to a considerably increased incidence of proximal femoral
fractures. The standard of peritrochanteric fracture treatment is stable fixation, which allows
early full weight-bearing mobilization of the patient. A prospective, observational and
randomized study was carried out with a total of thirty patients with intertrochanteric femur
fractures admitted in Govt. Medical College and Rajindra Hospital Patiala after fulfilling the
inclusion criteria and were treated with osteosynthesis with proximal femoral nailing antirotation-
2 (PFNA-2) and proximal femoral nailing (PFN) after dividing them into two groups
randomly i.e. Group A and Group B with 15 cases in each. Harris Hip Score was used as criteria
for evaluation of results and functional outcome was graded accordingly. The authors conclude
that PFNA2 gives better results than PFN in intertrochanteric fractures in terms of the amount of
blood loss during surgery, duration of surgery, postoperative complications. However, there is no
difference between the two modalities in terms of duration of hospitalization, fracture union, and
early rehabilitation (mortality and morbidity).
