In the course of the study, it was possible to identify the weighted average values of the burden of static-dynamic diseases among the female and male population of young age. A continuous study was carried out in 2020 on the basis of the Main Bureau of Medical and Social Expertise in the Rostov Region. In the course of the work, a database was compiled on the accumulated disability in the Rostov region for people aged 18–45 years (23,248 cases). In the course of the study, five age-sex groups were identified: 1) 18–25 years old, 2) 26–30 years old, 3) 31–35 years old, 4) 36–40 years old, 5) 41–45 years old. The study of indicators of a separate age group included the calculation of the frequency of accumulated disability, assessment of the structure of the contingent, taking into account the causes and severity of disability. Statistical processing of the data obtained was carried out by comparing the average values in the Statistica 10 application program. In the first studied age group, the incidence of accumulated disability is 87.9 cases per 10 thousand of the population, among them 17.7 cases per 10 thousand of the population are people with disabilities. statodynamic disturbances (20.1%). In the second group, the frequency of general disability is 70.9 cases per 10 thousand of the population, among them 17.0 cases per 10 thousand of the population are people with disabilities with staticdynamic disorders (24.0%). In the third group, the incidence of accumulated disability is 119.1 cases per 10 thousand of the population, among them 31.4 cases per 10 thousand of the population are disabled persons with static-dynamic disorders (26.4%). In the fourth group, the incidence of accumulated disability is 182.0 cases per 10 thousand of the population, among them 54.7 cases per 10 thousand of the population are people with disabilities with static-dynamic disorders (30.0 %). In the fifth group, the frequency of general disability is 276.2 cases per 10 thousand of the population, among them 82.9 cases per 10 thousand of the population are people with disabilities with static-dynamic disorders (30.0 %). Thus, the indicator of accumulated disability with statodynamic disorders is higher in the fifth age-sex group of the study (82.9 cases per 10 thousand population); in the structure of the severity of disability, the third group prevails.

Abstract Aim- 1. The aim of this study was to investigate the average maximum range of inter-incisal mouth opening in a representative sample of the adult subjects of Haryana. 2. To see any correlation between maximal inter-incisal opening with age. Methods- Maximum mouth opening was studied in 756 adult subjects with age range of 20-50 years in Yamunanagar, Haryana. Age limit was further divided into three groups (20-30, 31-40, 41-50). Those with clinical history of TMJ involvement, OSMF, any trauma, odontogenic and non-odontogenic infections, dental prosthesis on the anterior teeth, congenital anomalies in the maxillofacial region were excluded from this study. The measurements were recorded twice and mean of the two values were taken. Statistical Analysis- Independent sample t-test was calculated to compare age and mouth opening in both male and females respectively. Bivariate pearson correlation was used to see any relationship between age and mouth opening. P-value ≤ 0.05 and CI (confidence interval) at 95% were considered statistically significant. The Results- The average mouth opening of males (45.36±6.70 mm) subjects was higher as compared to female (41.27 ± 6.75 mm) with significant, p-value 0.000. The mean mouth opening ± SD for both sexes combined was 43.39 ± 7.02 mm. The corresponding values for mean inter-incisal opening in male population aged 20-30, 31-40, 41-50 were 45.52 ± 7.15, 46.16 ± 5.47, 42.96 ± 6.82 mm and in female population aged 20-30, 31-40, 41-50 were 41.40 ± 7.08, 41.60 ± 6.29 and 40.03 ± 6.38 mm respectively. Conclusion- Maximal mouth opening differ significantly with gender. There is a decrease in MMO with older age group.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among people in the age group 15 to 25 years.1 Self-destructive behavior in children and adolescents is a continuum that ranges from drug intoxications to gestures of low lethality to suicide attempts with high lethality of intent. In our survey of 1,100 self-poisonings in people aged 6 to 18 who were seen at poison control centers we found an incidence of 220 self-poisonings for every fatality.2 This is higher but comparable to other estimates of 50 to 150 suicide gestures for every reported death from suicide in the adolescent.3-6 Suicide attempts may account for 12% of all emergency room visits.7 This represents a public health problem of the first magnitude. It is ironically tragic that many of the adolescent suicide deaths are unintentioned-the victim did not really intend to die. In our collaborative poison study, for example, none of the six deaths could be called intended. The adolescents were not victims of suicide but of pharmacologic roulette. The single best correlate of suicidal risk appears to be lethality of intent. A diagnosis of suicide attempt, as contrasted to a gesture, implies both a lethality of intent coupled with a mature concept of death as an irreversible state. Lethality is defined by Shneidman8 as the probability of an individual's killing himself in the immediate future. In classifying all deaths as intentioned, subintentioned, and unintentioned as contrasted to the traditional classifications of natural, accidental, suicidal, and homicidal he has used the dimension of lethality to cut across the terms attempted, threatened, and completed suicide.

Introduction: Fear and anxiety during pregnancy and childbirth can cause problems such as preterm labor and low birth weight. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the level of anxiety of third-trimester pregnant women in dealing with labor. Methods: This type of research is a descriptive study and analyzed with frequency distribution. The population was all pregnant women in the third trimester who were in the working area of ​​the Mapane Community Health Center with a total of 37 people. The sampling technique used total sampling. The results showed that only 8.1% of pregnant women experienced mild anxiety, while 91.9% did not experience anxiety. pregnant women who experience mild anxiety are 20% in the risk age group, 20% with diploma education, 11.5% in mothers who do not work, 60% in primigravidas, and 15.8% in mothers who do not get support from their husbands. Anxiety occurs mostly in primigravida because it is the first experience of pregnancy. It suggested for village midwives providing information about pregnancy and childbirth, especially for primigravida mothers, and involving their husbands in posyandu activities for pregnant women.

This study aimed to identify the anaerobic capacity level of a sample of Omani children. The sample included 197 children between the ages of 9 to 13 years. The Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) was used. The sample was divided into five groups. The first group comprised the nine-year olds (19 children), the second group comprised the ten-year olds (22 children), the third group comprised the eleven-year olds (52 children), the fourth group comprised the 12-year olds (43 children), and the fifth comprised the 13-year olds (61 children). The results showed that the anaerobic capacity level improved during the stages of growth. The level of improvement achieved in 13-year old children was the highest compared to the other age-groups (P S 0.000). This improvement was not at a steady rate. It occurred through booms that coincided with growth which appears in practice through the evolution of not only the level of values on the amount of effort, but also in the level of some related motor skills. It showed a positive correlation between the values of the anaerobic capacity level, the time of running 100 meters and vertical jumping (p S 0.01). Accordingly, this phase can be considered one of those booms. Key words: anaerobic capacity, (Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST), Omani children, the 100 meters running, vertical jumping.


As the usage of the Android smart phones has been considerably increasing, a lot of applications have been developed for the benefits of mobile users. In the past, many applications have been designed aiming to help physically disabled persons. This paper presents an android application which providers several options for controlling the movement of wheelchairs effectively. The proposed application enables People with Disabilities (PWDs) to operate the wheel chair with minimum effort. Apart from voice commands, the proposed application detects and measures the tilt change, and moves the wheelchair based on the degree of the tilt. It also provides a soft joystick as in mobile games to ease the operation of the wheelchairs. Furthermore, sensors that are fixed in the wheelchair can detect and avoid obstacles when the chair is on the move. Hence, it ensures the safety while using the wheelchairs. The proposed application will help both physically challenged persons and elders to operate the wheelchairs more comfortably.

SARS-CoV-2 variants rapid emergence has posed critical challenge of higher transmission and immune escape causing serious threats to control the pandemic. The present study was carried out in confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 patients to elucidate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 variant strain. We performed RT-PCR using extracted RNA from the nasopharyngeal swabs of suspected Covid-19 patients. Confirmed positive cases with CT<25 were subjected to whole-genome sequencing to track the prevalence of the virus in the Malwa region of Punjab. The presence of B.1, B.1.1.7, B.1.351, B.1.617.1, B.1.617.2, AY.1 and other unidentified variants of SARS-CoV-2 was found in the studied population. Among all the variants, B.1.1.7 (UK variant) and B.1.617.2 (delta-Indian variant) was found to be the most dominant variant in the population and was found majorly in Patiala followed by Ludhiana, SBS Nagar, Mansa and Sangrur. In addition to this, sequencing results also observed that the dominant trait was more prevalent in male population and age group 21-40 years. The B.1.1.7 and B.1.617.2 variant of SARS-CoV-2 is replacing the wild type (Wuhan Strain) and emerging as the dominant variant in Punjab.

- Michael von Cranach in this paper reports the killing of hundreds of thousands of disabled persons, mentally or physically ill, slaughtered in gas chambers or given lethal drugs, in the Third Reich during the Nazi period. The genocide of helpless and ailing persons (in addition to that of Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals) put into operation under the principles of eugenics, defence and health of the Arian race. In reality, the genocide represented a sadistic exercise of power, that alleged itself the right to decide on citizens' life or death. Many physicians connived with the regime and were consequently considered the progressive élite of the medical profession. Keywords: eugenics, defence of the race, biopolitics, exercise of power, scientific and progressive medicine under the Third Reich.

At present, patients with recurrent nodular goiter account for a significant portion of patients operated on for nodular goiter. At the same time, the comorbid background characteristic of this age group and the technical difficulties of the intervention on cicatricial tissues of the neck cause a high risk of complications of the operation, 3–7 times higher than with primary thyroid interventions. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of treatment of recurrent nodular goiter using an alternative minimally invasive method — sclerotherapy. The study included 30 patients previously operated on for nodular goiter. All had 4 courses of sclerotherapy, each included 5 sessions with a frequency of 1 session per week, followed by a follow-up period of 3 months. Polydocanol was used as a sclerosant. The analysis showed that sclerotherapy for recurrent nodular goiter allows all patients to reduce recurrent nodular formations, and in almost a third of cases, complete reduction of the nodes. On average, the decrease in the volume of thyroid residues was 9.6 ± 1.5 ml, and the size of nodular formations decreased by 17.2 ± 1.3 mm (3.7 times — from 23.6 ± 1.4 mm to 6.4 ± 0.7 mm, P <0.001). Nodes more than 3 cm, initially 19 %, ceased to be detected after the third course of sclerotherapy. In all cases, managed to eliminate hormonal imbalances in patients who initially had functional autonomy, as well as signs of compression of the neck organs. At the same time, sclerotherapy of nodules of the thyroid gland using polydocanol as a sclerosant is a safe minimally invasive treatment method, is not accompanied by severe pain and the risk of hypoparathyroidism and laryngeal paresis.

The purpose of the study was to determine the structure of the incidence of thymus tumors in the Kharkiv region, taking into account the histological classification of thymus tumors and to analyze diagnostically significant indicators of the immune response of patients with thymomas. Materials and methods. The medical histories of 158 patients aged 16 to 80 years with diseases of the thymus gland were studied during 2006-2019. The indices of phagocytic activity of granulocytic neutrophils in blood heparinization, phagocytic index, phagocytic number, phagocytosis completion index and activity of proteins of the complement system were analyzed. We also analyzed the indices of the number of T- and B-lymphocytes obtained using monoclonal antibodies (CD2+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD16+, CD19+) (immunofluorescence method). Results and discussion. The structure of the incidence of tumors of the thymus in the Kharkiv region was determined, taking into account the histological classification of tumors of the thymus and indicators of the immune status of patients with thymomas. The relationship was determined between the indicators of the phagocytic activity of granulocytic neutrophils and the activity of proteins of the complement system, as well as changes in the ratio of the subpopulation composition of T-lymphocytes in patients with different types of thymomas. Lymphoepithelial thymoma is most widespread in male population in the age groups 40-59 and 20-39 years, and the lymphoid thymoma – in male population in the age group 20-39 years and female population in the age group 40-59 years. The significant decrease (p <0.05) in the mean value of the phagocytic index was revealed in group of patients with lymphoid thymomas. The subpopulations of T-lymphocytes CD3+ and CD4+ were significantly reduced (p <0.05) in group of patients with lymphoepithelial thymomas. The subpopulations of T-lymphocytes CD4+ and CD8+ were significantly reduced (p <0.05) in group of patients with lymphoid thymomas. The increasing of the mean values of markers CD16+ and CD19+ (p <0.05) in all study groups indicates that the processes of antibody production in patients with thymomas are activated regardless of the type of thymoma. Conclusion. The structure of thymus pathology in the population of the Kharkiv region is characterized by the predominance of tumor pathology in the general structure of thymus pathology, which is 51.3%. The lymphoepithelial and lymphoid thymomas are the most common tumors of the thymus and were recorded in 64.2% and 30.8% of patients with thymomas, respectively

&lt;p&gt;The Banded Iron Formation (BIF) in Bundelkhand craton (BuC) occurred as supracrustals associated with TTG&amp;#8217;s, amphibolites, calcsilicate rocks, and quartzite within the east-west trending Bundelkhand tectonic zone (BTZ). The BIFs near Mauranipur do not show any prominent iron-rich and silica-rich layer band and are composed of garnet, amphibole, quartz, and magnetite. The volumetrically dominant monoclinic-amphiboles are grunerite in composition. X&lt;sub&gt;Mg&lt;/sub&gt; of grunerite varies between 0.39-0.37. The garnets are Mn-rich, the X&lt;sub&gt;Spss&lt;/sub&gt; of garnet ranges from 0.26-0.20, X&lt;sub&gt;Pyp&lt;/sub&gt; and X&lt;sub&gt;Grs &lt;/sub&gt;vary between 0.10-0.06 and 0.07-0.05, respectively. P-T pseudosection analysis indicates that by destabilizing iron-silicate hydroxide phases through a series of dehydration and decarbonation reactions, amphibole and garnet stabilized in BIF at temperature 400-450&amp;#176;C and pressure 0.1-0.2 GPa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Massive type BIFs have monazite grains that vary from 10 to 50 &amp;#181;m in size, yield three distinct U-Th-Pb&lt;sub&gt;total&lt;/sub&gt; age clusters. 10-20 &amp;#181;m sized monazite grains yield the oldest age, 3098&amp;#177;95 Ma. 2478&amp;#177;37 Ma average age is obtained from the second group, which is relatively larger and volumetrically predominant. The third age group of Monaiztes gives an age of 2088&amp;#177;110 Ma. ~3100 Ma monazite suggests the older supracrustal rocks of Bundelkhand craton, similar to those obtained from Singhbhum and the Dharwar craton. The 2478&amp;#177;37 Ma age is constrained as the timing of metamorphism and stabilization of BuC. The third age group, 2088&amp;#177;110 Ma probably associated with renewed hydrothermal activities, leading to rifting and emplacement of mafic dykes in BuC.&lt;/p&gt;
