Association of Anthropometric Parameters and Severity of SARS-COV-2 Infection among Hospitalized Patients in a Tertiary care Center in Western Maharashtra – an Analytical Cross-Sectional Study
Get PDFBackground: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 has infected more than 5.5 million people worldwide, resulting in more than 3,47,000 fatalities. Obese individuals may be more susceptible to infection with SARSCoV-2. This study was conducted to assess the association between anthropometric parameters and the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Methodology: This analytical cross-sectional study was undertaken on COVID-19-positive patients admitted to COVID-dedicated wards at a tertiary care center in Pune. The data was collected using a convenient sampling method from 185 COVID-19-positive patients.
Result: Among those Positive for SARS-COV-2, 128 (69.19%) patients had mild COVID-19, and 57 (30.81%) patients were having severe COVID-19 disease. 36 patients (28.13%) with mild COVID-19 disease were average weight, 48 patients (37.50%) were overweight, and 42 patients (32.81%) were obese. Three (5.26%) of the 57 patients with severe COVID-19 disease were overweight, and 54 (94.74%) were obese. 19 (10.2%) patients had previously been diagnosed with hypertension, and 22 (11.8%) patients had both hypertension and diabetes.
Conclusion: Obesity in patients with COVID-19 was associated with severe diseases, particularly pneumonia. Patients having underlying medical illnesses like hypertension and diabetes were found to be at higher risk of severe COVID-19
A Study Of The Special Features Of The Meniscal Tear
Get PDFObjectives: Arthroscopic meniscectomy is a treatment with good short-term results. To prevent the long-term adverse effects of meniscal tear injuries, it is necessary to study the unique features, such asthedemographic characteristics of the injury, the cause of the occurrence, and the type and location of the tear.Methods: We conducted the hospital-based prospective study and involved 103 patients who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery at The National Trauma Orthoped ic Research Center and Grandmed Hospital in Mongolia between 2020 and 2022. We classified Cooper’s classification based on MRI results. Moreover, the type and location of the meniscal tear were finally determined by the diagnosis after arthroscopic surgery.Results: Out of 103 patients, the mean age of the participants was 34.4±8.6 (18-48 years); males were 61.2% (n=63), and 87.7% (n=93) of tears were located in the medial meniscus, respectively. Among the types of tears, the most frequent were the vertical tears, especially the Radial/Transverse and Vertical/Longitudinal 20% (n=18) tears.Conclusion: The causes of meniscal tears are mainly injuries. Men are injured more by sports injuries and women by domestic injuries. The type and location of the isolated meniscal tears differ from those of the meniscal tears

Assessment of Laser in Situ Keratomileusis Flap Predictability by Laser and Moria Microkeratome
Get PDFObjective: In the present study, we compared LASIK flap thickness predictability created by a FS laser versus a Moria microkeratome in Mongolian patients. Methods: A total of ninety-six candidates for the LASIK procedure were stratified into two groups: FS laser-assisted and MK flap creation. Flap thickness was determined at five points. The side-cut angle was measured in three directions at the margin interface. LASIK flap assessment was performed one month postoperatively by Spectralis anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Results: Ninety-five participants (190 eyes) were recruited; 190 eyes were stratified to the FS group and 78 eyes to the MK group. The FS group had relatively even flap configurations, and the MK group had meniscus-shaped flaps. Regarding CR-sphere and cylinder, there was significant difference between 2 groups. The mean cylinder was -1.216 ± 0.924 in FS group while it was -0.730 ± 0.738 in MK group. Similarly, the mean sphere was -3.635 ± 2.031 in FS-LASIK group and -2.984 ± 1.502 in MK-LASIK group. The side-cut architecture varied among the two groups. OCT-C and OCT1Temporal values were significantly different between two groups. Conclusion: Improving the predictability of LASIK flap thickness and morphology is significantly important
The Biochemical and Hematological Patterns of Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients in Mongolia
Get PDFObjectives: The impact of COVID-19 prompted a race to find a treatment that would reduce its mortality. This study aimed to analyze how the clinical and laboratory characteristics reflect the disease process and progression of COVID-19 cases in hospitalized patients of Mongolia, which could be informative in managing patients with COVID-19. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the prescription patterns of drugs given to hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19. A total of 1012 participants were recruited in the study. These were identified from the reported positive cases by polymerase chain reaction or antigen reactivity performed in Ulaanbaatar. Result: A total of 1096 patients participated in this study. The mean age was 51.86 ± 16.98 for male patients and 52.23 ± 16.4 for female patients. It has been revealed that there are statistically significant differences between male and female patients. RBC was 4.56 ± 0.79 M/ UL and 5.08 ± 1.36 M/UL, men and women respectively. The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in female COVID-19 patients were significantly higher (46.75 ± 72.83 mg/dL) compared to male patients (33.94 ± 47.96 mg/dL). The platelet count (PLT) was 245.32 ± 77.71 for male patients, while there was a significant reduction in PLT count in female patients (229.30 ± 71.59). Conclusions: Patients with COVID-19 in Mongolia appeared to remain in the hospital for 6.86 ± 2.43 days, shorter than in other countries. Hematological analysis showed that female patients had elevated C-reactive protein levels and decreased PLT count
A study of the effects of a microteaching-based methodology on student teaching competence
No full textThe main goal of the teacher training university program is to prepare qualified teachers who provide quality education services. Teaching competence is the professional knowledge, ability, and attitude to plan, organize, and evaluate the results of the training. In this article, we aim to study the impact of microteaching-based methodology on the development of student teaching competence. To measure students’ teaching competences, an online self-assessment questionnaire was developed based on the list of “Competences Required for Effective Teaching in the 21st Century" (2012). The research employed the "snowball" sampling method and some 28 junior students majoring in Biology Education participated as the experimental group, while 74 junior and senior students majoring in teaching IT, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, Pre-School Education, and Mathematics at MNUE (Mongolian National University of Education) were taken as the control group. Research data were analyzed using mathematical statistics. The null hypothesis of “no difference” in self-assessment of teaching competence between experimental and control group students was rejected by t test (mean t value =2.28; P < 0.05). Also, whether there is a difference between the self-evaluation of the experimental group and the self-evaluation of students of other professions (a total of 6 professions each) in the one-factor analysis of variance, three knowledges out of a total of 12 knowledges (average F value =2.89, P<0.05); by two abilities out of 13 abilities (mean F value =2.81, P<0.05); and differed or outperformed in three out of 10 approaches (mean t value = 3.12; P < 0.05).

Herder’s attitudes on pastureland use
No full textPastureland occupies 70 percent of the total territory of Mongolia, and more than 70 million head of livestock graze in this pasture. Pastureland use cannot be considered separately from the activities and practices of herders. Therefore, we aimed to assess the condition of pastureland based on the attitudes of herders and to determine ways to improve pastures. In this study, we used the questionnaire survey method, and 317 herding households of Dornod and Khentii provinces participated in the survey. Questionnaires included the following topics: 1. Pastureland use and accessibility; 2. Water supply; 3. Herder’s opinion on the legal regulation of pastures and the necessity of legal regulation; and 4. Main problems of herders. Answers to the questionnaires were later compared with the statistical data on the number of livestock and pasture area, the number of livestock per hectare, and some reports and research findings on pasture utilization. According to the results, the main problems of the herders were the sufficiency of the water supply, the increase in the number of livestock exceeding the carrying capacity of pastures, and wildfires. During 2007-2022, the number of livestock increased by more than 4.9 million, while the pasture area decreased by 1856.3 thousand hectares in these provinces. Also, during the summer and fall of 2007-2022, livestock density per unit hectare of pasture area increased 3.5 times in Dornod province and 2.1 times in Khentii province. In the winter and spring, it increased by 2.45 times in Dornod province and 2.4 times in Khentii province. The growth of livestock numbers was the primary source of livelihood and finances for herders but it was the main reason for pastureland degradation and disputes. Therefore, it is important to manage the growth of livestock numbers through legal regulation.
Малчдын бэлчээр ашиглалтын талаарх хандлага
ХУРААНГУЙ: Монгол орны нийт газар нутгийн 70 хувь орчмыг бэлчээрийн газар эзэлж, тус бэлчээрт 70 сая гаруй толгой мал бэлчээрлэж байна. Бэлчээрийн газрын ашиглалтыг малчдын үйл ажиллагаа, дадал зуршлаас ангид авч үзэх боломжгүй юм. Иймээс бид бэлчээрийг ашиглаж буй гол эзэд болох малчдын саналд тулгуурлан бэлчээр ашиглалтын нөхцөл байдлыг үнэлэх, тэдний санал, тулгамдаж буй асуудалд үндэслэн бэлчээр сайжруулах арга замыг тодорхойлох зорилгоор тус судалгааг хийсэн болно. Энэхүү судалгаанд анкетаар асуулга судалгаа авах арга зүй ашигласан бөгөөд судалгаанд Дорнод, Хэнтий аймгийн 317 малчин өрх хамрагдлаа. Асуулга судалгаа нь бэлчээр ашиглалт, бэлчээрийн хүрэлцээ; усан хангамжийн нөхцөл байдал; бэлчээрийн эрх зүйн зохицуулалтын талаарх малчдын санал, цаашид ямар хууль эрх зүйн зохицуулалт хэрэгцээтэй байгааг тодорхойлох; малчдад тулгамдаж буй асуудал гэсэн үндсэн 4 агуулгыг хамарна. Асуулга судалгааны үр дүнг малын тоо толгой, бэлчээрийн талбайн статистик тоо баримт, нэгж га талбайд ногдох малын тооны үзүүлэлт болон бэлчээр ашиглалтын талаарх зарим тайлан, судалгааны дүгнэлттэй харьцуулав. Судалгааны дүнгээс харахад усан хангамжийн хүрэлцээ, бэлчээрийн даацаас хэтэрсэн малын тоо толгойн өсөлт, түймэр зэрэг нь малчдад тулгамдаж буй гол асуудал болж байна. 2007-2022 оны хугацаанд малын тоо толгой эдгээр аймгуудад 4.9 сая гаруйгаар өссөн бол бэлчээрийн талбай эсрэгээрээ 1856.3 мян.га-гаар буурсан байна. Нэгж га бэлчээрийн талбайд ногдох малын нягтшил 2007-2022 оны хугацаанд зун-намрын улиралд Дорнод аймагт 3.5 дахин, Хэнтий аймагт 2.1 дахин; өвөл-хаврын улиралд Дорнод аймагт 2.45 дахин, Хэнтий аймагт 2.4 дахин тус тус өссөн байна. Малын тоо толгойн өсөлт нь малчдад амьдралын баталгаа, санхүүгийн эх үүсвэр болдог хэдий ч эргээд бэлчээрийн хүрэлцээ муудах, маргаан гарах гол шалтгаан болж байна. Тиймээс цаашид малын тоо толгойн өсөлтийг эрх зүйн зохицуулалтаар шийдэх нь чухал юм.
