Geophysical logging application was incorporated for the perusal of the groundwater analysis. The study area involves the parts of the Saket area, situated in the Indian capital Delhi. For the purpose of study VES(vertical electrical sounding) method was adopted to reach to desired analysis. The study carries the objective of an analysis of the condition of groundwater along with the investigation of the geological situation. Abem Terrameter SAS-300c system with the with Geomac II, ABEM SAS log200 system with Geomac III were used in the study to perform the VES of the Schlumberger configuration along with the tubewell geophysical logging. Lithological investigation of the tubewell depicts the presence of alluvial topsoil, Badarpur sand, fractured and weathered rock along with the sandy silt and silty sand for subsurface of soil. Also, the presence of four geoelectric layer found. In these layers the fourth layer that is observed at a depth range from 15 ft to 450 ft, were found with the aquifer and 50 to 2000 Ωm resistivity were observed for this layer consisting aquifer. Geophysical logging analysis depicts the observation results for total dissolved solid in aquifer as 430 ppm. the obtained limit of TDS is found to be in standard limits, as the standard limit is 500 ppm set for the potable water by standard organization of India. Ground water development is found to be feasible for the fourth layer, since the layer is observed as potential non-conductive zone in the study area.

Explanation of Womens’ Ideological Linguistic Aesthetics in Poetry by Indonesian and Malaysia Women Poets

/in /by

Linguistic aesthetics is seen from the linguistic side with a critical view. The text is built from several linguistic tools in which there are ideology and power. This study aims to find and describe (1) vocabulary, (2) the beauty of metaphor, (3) grammar in Indonesian and Malaysian poetry. The literary approach used is a comparative literature approach. This research data is in the form of a poetry text consisting of vocabulary, phrases, and lines with certain ideological values. Data collection activities were carried out using documentation techniques with knowledge and insight into the intrinsic and extrinsic elements of poetry, and critical discourse analysis of poetry, particularly concerning the ideological insights of women in Indonesian and Malaysian poetry, and interviews were conducted with the poets. Data analysis procedure using diagrams of the stages of understanding women’s ideology based on the elaboration of Ricoeur’s hermeneutics: explanation-analysis and interpretation. Triangulation was carried out to test theories, data, and research methods to avoid research bias. The findings of this study are the linguistic aesthetics of the poems by the Indonesian and Malaysian female poets in the form of (1) vocabulary, (2) the beauty of metaphor, and (3) grammatical. This study strengthens the theory of critical discourse analysis because the findings of this study indicate that linguistic aesthetics describes three stages: description, interpretation, and explanation. Practically, these findings are useful for language and literature researchers to enrich the application of critical poetry to poetry.

/in /by

Introduction: Scoliosis with rotational imbalance is mainly characterized by the vertebral rotation related to the curve in the coronal plan.
Aims and objectives: The basic aim of the study is to assess the average correction of Cobb’s angle in congenital scoliosis using growing rode as a mode of correction.
Material and methods: This descriptive study was conducted in DHQ hospital Sargodha during 2019 to 2021 for the period of two years. The data was collected with the permission of ethical committee of hospital. The data was collected from 12 patients from age range 4-12 years. Among that 12 patients there were 7 male and 5 female patients. We carried out a convenience sampling, including all scoliosis patients who received surgical treatment with elongating rods in the period studied, and excluded all patients diagnosed with syndromic scoliosis, and with incomplete records in their clinical history.
Results: There were 12 patients of scoliosis under 10 were reviewed. Of these, 35 (5%) required surgical treatment with growing rods and met the selection criteria. The presurgical and postsurgical radiographic change showed a 47.7% reduction in the Cobb angle (31.8° ± 14.6° difference), which was statistically significant (p<0.001; t-student). During the study period, 8 patients showed some procedure-related complication; another 2 patients (22.9%) showed instrumentation failures, and 2 cases (5.7%) showed infection in the operated area which, it should be noted, was associated with instrumentation failure. Univariate analysis was performed to define which variables could be potential predictor factors of complications in our patient sample. Conclusion: Treatment of scoliosis in patients under age 10 with growing rods has achieved a significant reduction in the magnitude of the deformity before final bone fusion.

Haematological Parameters and Oxidative Stress in Malarial Patients

/in /by

Introduction: Malaria has been in existence for so long and is responsible for worrisome health and economic impact in different parts of the world.
Objectives: The main objective of the study is to find the haematological parameters and oxidative stress in malarial patients. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in THQ Hospital Fort Abbas Bhawalngar during 2020 to 2021. The data was collected from 200 male and female patients. Participants remembered for the review were under-5-year-old youngsters, either conceded in the kids’ ward or going to any center on short term premise.
Results: The information was gathered from 200 malarial patients. There was a genuinely huge decrease in hemoglobin (p<0.005), platelet count (p<0.001) and all out leukocyte count (p<0.001) levels in patients with malaria contrasted with patients without the sickness. The level of neutrophils in the subjects with malaria was fundamentally higher (p<0.005) than in the non-malaria bunch. Conclusion: It is inferred that Low platelet count is a trademark finding of malarial contamination and thrombocytopenia might be more normal than weakness in intense malaria disease.

Malondialdehyde (MDA) Total Antioxidant Capacity and Vitamin E Levels in Preterm and Term Infants

/in /by

Introduction: Oxygen radical injury is thought to be one of the common mechanisms for several diseases in premature infants. Lipid peroxidation plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of many neonatal complications. Broncho pulmonary dysplasia, Intraventricular hemorrhage and Retinopathy of Prematurity are due to excessive production of oxygen free radicals.
Objectives: The main objective of the study is to find the Malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity and Vitamin E levels in preterm and term infants.
Material and methods: We aimed to determine the levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA), Total antioxidant capacity and vitamin E in cord blood of term and preterm infants. To determine the oxidative stress and antioxidants in cord blood of term and preterm infants that may have clinical implications. In the present study we determine MDA, Total antioxidant capacity and vitamin E levels in the umbilical cord blood of term (n=50) and preterm (n=50) infants by manual method. Blood samples were collected during delivery. MDA is high in preterm infants compared to term infants.
Results: Total antioxidant capacity and Vitamin E levels are high in term infants compared to preterm infants. Therefore it is possible to postulate that preterm infants are more susceptible to oxidative stress than term infants.
Conclusion: It is concluded that Preterm neonates are exposed to increased oxidant stress at birth and are susceptible to anti-oxidant deficiencies.
