Abstract

Objectives: Globally, the prevalence of obesity is increasing at an alarming rate. Obese patients often suffer from chronic dyspeptic symptoms. The aim of the study was to know the gross and histologic upper gastrointestinal mucosal changes and the prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) infection in overweight and obese dyspeptic patients. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was done on 100 patients with dyspepsia and a body mass index (BMI) of ≥25 kg/m2. The study was done between August 2019 and September 2021 at a tertiary care hospital in Maharashtra, India. Statistical Analysis: Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney test, and Fischer exact tests were applied to study the association between categorical variables. A P value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant with a confidence level of 95%. Results: There were 59 males and 41 females. The mean age of the study subjects was 41.95 ± 12.32 years and the age range was 19–67 years. The maximum number of patients (36%) were in the age group of 50–59 years. Hypertension (45%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (30%) were the common comorbidities present. Heartburn and regurgitation were the most common symptoms, present in 37% and 35% of the subjects, respectively. Inflammatory lesions oesophagitis (28%) and gastritis (43%) were the common findings in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE). The stomach was the most common site with lesions. On histopathological examination, erosive gastritis (33%) and oesophagitis (28%) were confirmed. A total of 86% of obese subjects had at least one grossly abnormal finding. The prevalence of H. Pylori was 32%. Obese subjects had significantly more abnormal findings on UGIE compared to overweight subjects (P < 0.05). Obese patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus had significantly abnormal findings on UGIE compared to non-diabetic obese patients (P < 0.05). Obese patients with higher body mass index (BMI) and the presence of H. Pylori infection were more likely to have abnormal UGIE findings. Conclusions: Inflammatory and erosive lesions of the stomach and oesophagus are more common in obese dyspeptic patients. UGIE should be the investigation of choice and should be performed in overweight and obese patients with dyspepsia to predict and prevent Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and their related complications.

Abstract

Background Three rounds of a repeated cross-sectional serosurvey to estimate the change in seroprevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were conducted from August to October 2020 in the state of Delhi, India, in the general population ≥5 y of age. Methods The selection of participants was through a multistage sampling design from all 11 districts and 280 wards of the city-state, with multistage allocation proportional to population size. The blood samples were screened using immunoglobulin G (IgG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Results We observed a total of 4267 (N=150 46), 4311 (N=17 409) and 3829 (N=15 015) positive tests indicative of the presence of IgG antibody to SARS-CoV-2 during the August, September and October 2020 serosurvey rounds, respectively. The adjusted seroprevalence declined from 28.39% (95% confidence interval [CI] 27.65 to 29.14) in August to 24.08% (95% CI 23.43 to 24.74) in September and 24.71% (95% CI 24.01 to 25.42) in October. On adjusted analysis, participants with lower per capita income, living in slums or overcrowded households and those with diabetes comorbidity had significantly higher statistical odds of having antibody positivity (p<0.01). Conclusions Nearly one in four residents in Delhi, India ≥5 y of age had the SARS-CoV-2 infection during August–October 2020. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

246. Overcoming Obstacles to Widespread EV Charging in Strata-Owned Condos at UBC

Author

Katama, Angelica, Basumatary, Mwblib, Sharma, Pragya, Yyang, Shirley, and Ardila, Veronica

Abstract

In the context of a rapid-growing Electric Vehicle Ecosystem in Vancouver, The Wall Group is including Electric Vehicle (EV) charging Infrastructure in new residential developments. To overcome obstacles to widespread in EV charging infrastructure in Strata-owned condos and contributing to sustainability at University of British Columbia, the report is compiled to serve as a handbook for development design teams providing a set of best practices for metering & allocating ownership of EV charging stations to facilitate EV adoption in residential developments throughout the Lower Mainland (ref: REAP credit ID 4.1). As the methodology, the report provides a thorough compilation of: review of current technical and policy literature, site analysis, study of ownership and cost allocation process, analysis of load management systems, implementation strategy planning and development, and recommendation of policies and metering systems to develop future Residential Environment Assessment Program (REAP) policy. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community. The reader should bear in mind that this is a student project/report and is not an official document of UBC. Furthermore readers should bear in mind that these reports may not reflect the current status of activities at UBC. We urge you to contact the research persons mentioned in a report or the SEEDS Coordinator about the current status of the subject matter of a project/report.”

248. Role of biofertilizer (BGA) & nitrogenous fertilizer on grain yield, nitrogen content & nitrate reductase activity of two rice (Oryza sativa) varieties jaya & sarju-52

Author

Sharma, Pragya and Sharma, Pragya

Abstract

In recent years, biofertilizers have emerged as a promising component of the integrated nutrient supply system in Indian agriculture.  Among biofertilizers benefiting cereal crop production, blue-green algae are very important. Studies were carried out during Kharif season at the agriculture Research Station of Nawabganj Bareilly. Application of BGA @ 12.5 kg/ha in combination with 80 kg/ha as urea recorded favourable results in the two varieties Jaya and Sarju-52 and it is comparable with grain yield, nitrogen content and nitrate reductase activity in leaves at the recommended dose of 160 kg/ha. Thus, it may be concluded that further increment in nitrogen along with blue-green algae is not beneficial in rice crop and it can save at least 40 KgN/ha/year with increased yield.
