Abstract Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammation of the nose and the paranasal sinuses. Intractable CRS cases are generally treated with endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Although the effect of ESS on CRS symptoms has been studied, the pattern of symptom improvement after ESS for CRS is yet to be investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the magnitude and sequence of symptom improvement after ESS for CRS, and to assess the possible preoperative factors that predict surgical outcomes in CRS patients. Methods This was a longitudinal prospective study of 68 patients who had CRS (with or without nasal polyps). The patients underwent ESS at King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. The Sino-nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) questionnaire was used for assessment at four time points during the study: pre-ESS, 1-week post-ESS, 4 weeks post-ESS, and 6 months post-ESS. Results The difference between the mean scores recorded for the five SNOT-22 domains pre-ESS and 6 months post-ESS were as follows: rhinologic symptoms (t-test = 7.22, p-value =  < 0.001); extra-nasal rhinologic symptoms (t-test = 4.87, p-value =  < 0.001); ear/facial symptoms (t-test = 6.34, p-value =  < 0.001); psychological dysfunction (t-test = 1.99, p-value = 0.049); and sleep dysfunction (t-test = 5.58, p-value =  < 0.001). There was a significant difference between the mean scores recorded for the five domains pre-ESS and 6 months post-ESS. Rhinologic symptoms had the largest effect size (d = 1.12), whereas psychological dysfunction had the least effect size (d = 0.24). The only statistically significant difference in the SNOT-22 mean scores recorded 4 weeks post-ESS was observed between allergic and non-allergic patients (t = − 2.16, df = 66, p = 0.035). Conclusion Understanding the pattern of symptom improvement following ESS for CRS will facilitate patient counselling and aid the optimization of the current treatment protocols to maximize surgical outcomes and quality of life. Level of evidence Prospective observational.

Introduction: Pain during the injection of anesthetic agents may be distressing and can reduce the acceptability of an otherwise useful agent such as propofol during daycare surgeries. Lidocaine and ketamine both are used as pre-treatment to decrease propofol induced pain. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of ketamine injection to decrease propofol-induced pain in comparison to lidocaine injection. Methodology: This is a prospective cross-sectional comparative study. Eighty-nine cases were divided into two groups where group K received ketamine 2 ml (0.2 mg/kg) whereas group L received lidocaine 2% 2ml (0.5 mg/kg) after venous occlusion with rubber tourniquet. One-fourth dose of propofol was injected 1 min after release of tourniquet and pain accessed at 0, 1, and 2 minutes of propofol injection with a verbal response and behavioral signs. Chi-square test and paired T-test were used and a p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Result: Regarding hemodynamic, oxygenation, and adverse effects there was no significant difference. Immediately after propofol injection, only 1 patient of the ketamine group had mild pain (2.22%) while 12 patients from the lignocaine group had mild pain (27.27%) with a p-value of 0.009. Also after 2 minutes of propofol injection, only 12 cases had mild pain i.e. 13.48% (1 from ketamine group i.e. 2.22% and 11 from lidocaine group i.e. 25%) with p-value of 0.002. Conclusion: Our study helps prove low-dose ketamine is more effective in reducing the incidence and severity of pain on injection of propofol in comparison to Lidocaine with better hemodynamic stability.

ABSTRACT Introduction Obesity is emerging as an epidemic worldwide. Obesity is associated with a number of comorbid conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancer, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular abnormalities, anemia, obstructive sleep apnea, and psychosocial abnormalities. Aim This study aims at comparing the lipid profile levels of obese and nonobese men. Materials and methods This was a case—control study conducted at a tertiary care center. Totally, 80 men in the age group of 20 to 47 years attending the master health checkup were included in the study, out of which 40 men with normal body mass index (BMI) of 18 to 25 belonged to group I and 40 men with increased BMI of 30 and above belonged to group II. Lipid profile parameters, such as triglycerides (TGLs), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol were estimated in them. The data were statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 15.0. Results Statistically significant difference was found in the total cholesterol levels with a p-value of 0.040 while the difference in LDL cholesterol was statistically highly significant with a p-value of 0.040. Conclusion Among lipid profile parameters, only total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol showed significant difference between the obese and nonobese individuals. However, the other parameters like HDL cholesterol and TGLs did not show any significant difference. How to cite this article Babu SV, Jagadeesan AR, Ramalingam J.

Abstract. The purpose of this research is to compare the efficiency of 11 Sharia Banks in Indonesia and its impact on their performance. This study relies on the quarterly data from 2012-2017 and applied Data Envelopment Analysis to measure their performance. The result of the T-test shows that the P-value for two tail = 0.706. So based on this trend the P-value is greater than α = 0.05 (P-value> α). In the condition of P-value> α, H1 is rejected, meaning that there is no change in the value of efficiency between the period 2012-2014 and the period 2015-2017. This research shows that the efficiency of Islamic banking has not occurred during the implementation of the 2012-2017 Indonesian Sharia Banking Roadmap. Furthermore, the highest efficiency value during the period before implementation was 0.92 with an average efficiency value of 0.57. This means that during this period there was room to increase efficiency by 0.35. Meanwhile the period after implementing the highest efficiency value was 0.87 with an average efficiency value of 0.59. This means that during this period there was room to increase efficiency by 0.28. This means that during the 2012-2017 period, there was no significant difference in efficiency levels during the 2012-2014 period (before the implementation) and the 2015-2017 period (after the implementation of the Islamic banking road map). Keywords: DEA, Efficiency, Sharia Bank Abstrak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan efisiensi dari 11 Bank Syariah di Indonesia dan dampaknya terhadap kinerja bank tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan data setiap kuartal selama tahun 2012 hingga tahun 2017 dan menggunakan Data Envelopment Analysis untuk mengukur kinerja. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa selama implementasi Roadmap, perbankan syariah belum menunjukan kenaikan efisiensi. Sementara itu, sebelum implementasi tersebut, nilai efisiensi tertinggi perbankan syariah sebesar 0,92, sedangkan rata-rata nilai efisiensinya sebesar 0,57. Ini berarti bahwa ada ruang untuk meningkatkan level efisiensi sebesar 0,35. Sedangkan pada periode implementasi, nilai efisiensi tertingi perbankan syariah sebesar 0,87, dan ratarata nilai efisiensinya sebesar 0,59. Ini berarti ada ruang untuk meningkatkan level efisiensi sebesar 0,28. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukan bahwa, secara keseluruhan periode tahun 2012 hingga tahun 2017, hasil t-test menunjukan nilai P-value for two tail = 0.706. Ini berarti P-value> α, dan menolak H1, sehingga tidak terdapat perbedaan level efisiensi selama periode 2012-2014 (sebelum implementasi) dan periode 2015 – 2017 (setelah implementasi) Kata kunci: DEA, Efisiensi, Bank Syariah

ABSTRAKLembar Kegiatan Siswa (LKS) adalah salah satu bagian dari bahan ajar. Sebagai salah satu bagian dari bahan ajar, LKS merupakan komponen yang penting dalam pembelajaran. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian pendahuluan, LKS yang digunakan masih belum mengarah pada pola pembelajaran yang mengeksplorasi pengetahuan siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan LKS hasil pengembangan berbasis inkuiri terbimbing pada materi teks diskusi siswa SMP kelas IX yang valid dan efektif. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dan pengembangan, kolaborasi model Borg & Gall dan Dick & Carey. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuasi eksperimen (static group comparison design). Sampel penelitian adalah siswa SMP kelas IX, 30 siswa sebagai kelas pembanding, 33 siswa sebagai kelas eksperimen. Alat ukur berupa tes pilihan ganda pada evaluasi formatif sebagai posttest. Analisis data digunakan uji-t untuk sampel berpasangan pada taraf signifikan 5 % (p<0,05). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan LKS tergolong valid berdasarkan rata-rata penilaian pakar sebesar 74,7% dengan kategori cukup valid. Efektif berdasarkan 1) hasil belajar kognitif, rata-rata kelas 90,42 dan melebihi batas ketuntasan (KKM) yang ditetapkan yaitu 80. Hasil uji-t diperoleh nilai t = -9,574 dengan derajat kebebasan (dk) sebesar 61.  Sedangkan p-value (2-tailed)= 0,0000, karena p-value = 0,0000 lebih kecil dari α = 0,05 maka H0 : µ1 = µ2 ditolak, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara posttest kelompok eksperimen dengan kelompok pembanding. Kata Kunci: LKS, inkuiri terbimbing, materi tek diskusi.ABSTRACTStudent Activity Sheet (LKS) is one part of teaching materials. As one part of teaching materials, LKS is an important component in learning. Based on preliminary research results, LKS used still not lead to learning patterns that explore students' knowledge. This study aims to produce LKS based on guided inquiry based on the discussion material of students of SMP class IX class that is valid and effective. This type of research is a research and development, collaboration models Borg & Gall and Dick & Carey. The method used is quasi experiment (static group comparison design). The sample of the research is the students of SMP class IX, 30 students as the comparison class, 33 students as the experimental class. Measurers are multiple choice tests on formative evaluation as posttest. Data analysis used t-test for paired samples at 5% significant level (p <0,05). The result of the research shows that LKS is valid based on the average expert rating of 74.7% with the category is quite valid. Effective on the basis of 1) cognitive learning outcomes, grade averages 90.42 and beyond the defined limit of (KKM) which is defined as 80. T-test results obtained t value = -9.574 with degrees of freedom (dk) of 61. While p-value (2-tailed) = 0,0000, since p-value = 0,0000 is smaller than α = 0.05 then H0: μ1 = μ2 is rejected, so it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the experimental group posttest and the comparison group. Keywords: LKS, guided inquiry, discussion material.
