  Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research   Patterning and Literacy at the Outset of Kindergarten- Juniper Publishers  Authored by Matthew S Peterson   Abstract Kindergarten children are routinely instructed in recognizing repeating patterns. Such instruction may improve their understanding of prealgebra and early literacy. The present research was designed to determine whether there were relations between children’s understanding of patterns and early literacy at the outset of kindergarten, before instruction in recognizing patterns was begun. Accordingly, 492 kindergarten children were assessed with a patterning measure and two measures of early literacy. Significant correlations between scores on these three measures indicate that about 12-16% of a beginning kindergartner’s ability in literacy can be predicted from their understanding of patterns. Keywords: Initial sound fluency; Manipulatives; Dynamic indicators ...

  Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research    Impact of Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the Isotopic Abundance Ratio of Folic Acid- Juniper Publishers   Authored by Snehasis Jana   Abstract Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is the water-soluble vitamin mainly found in the foods and supplements, which is involved in the synthesis and repair of DNA and RNA, aiding rapid cell division and growth, enhancing the overall brain health, etc. in the body. In this study, the impact of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the structural properties and the isotopic abundance ratio of folic acid was investigated using LC-MS spectroscopy. The test sample folic acid was divided into control and treated parts. Only the treated part received the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi. The chromatographic spectra of both the sample...

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research   Bilateral Herpes Simplex Keratitis Presenting as Bilateral Ulcerative Blepharo-Keratoconjunctivitis: A Rarity or Pattern- Juniper Publishers   Authored by CharlesS Zwerling Abstract We report a case of an immunocompetent 77-year-old Caucasian female presenting with bilateral herpes simplex keratitis masquerading as bilateral ulcerative blepharo-keratoconjunctivitis. Most cases of herpes simplex keratitis present unilaterally and uncommon occurrences of bilateral cases range from 1.3% to 10.9%. In literature, bilateral herpes simplex keratitis has been reported for patients with atopic disease, corticosteroid use, autoimmune diseases, and UV A light exposure. Our patient had none of these conditions, but she did suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus that was well-controlled. She had no prior history of known herpes simplex disease and tested negative for COVID 19. To date, this is the third...

  Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research A Case Report of Family with Congenital Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (NSHL) with Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS) in GATA3 and COLA43 Genes- Juniper Publishers Authored by Venkateshwari Ananthapur Abstract Objectives: Hearing impairment is the frequent sensory deficit in human populations. Non-syndromic hearing loss accounts for 70%, with autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, X linked and mitochondrial mode of inheritance. The case report represents a family with two siblings having congenital non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL), and mother with acquired deafness. The objective of the case report was to identify the gene mutations resulting in NSHL in the family. Methods: Next generation sequencing (NGS) based deafness gene panel was used to identify the gene variants in the family. Results: Next generation sequencing (NGS) based deafness gene panel results identified variant of un...

  Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research Host selection and Change of Skin Surface for Spawning Adaptation of Two Sympatric Bitterling Species- Juniper Publishers Authored by Su Hwan Kim   Abstract Bitterlings (subfamily Acheilognathinae) are small cyprinid fishes with specialized spawning habits; they deposit their eggs on the gills of freshwater mussels using their ovipositors. This study on spawning host-selection in two sympatric bitterling species, Acheilognathus macropterus and Rhodeus ocellatus, was conducted in the Bulgapcheon Stream, Korea, where four mussel species coexisted. After analyzing the four mussel species immediately after spawning, we discovered that the two bitterlings used only two mussel species as their spawning hosts, Anodonta arcaeformis and A. woodiana. Embryos of A. macropterus were predominantly found in the suprabranchial chambers of the two mussel species, and the larvae were even seen in their g...

Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Reviews & Research Opinion Spain is one of the countries that ages at a faster rate. This phenomenon is due to three trends: a) Fall in fertility b) High life expectancy c) High immigration [ 1 ]. The three factors have created a demographic framework that affects the composition and formation of families, the educational system, the housing market and the health needs of the population, not only in their quantity, but also in the type of pathologies to be considered [ 2 ]. As the population ages, the importance of the behaviors and repercussions associated with older age groups increases, such as the situation of pensions, taxes and financing of the Social Security, ultimately the entire Welfare State [ 3 ] .With regard to the health and care needs of the elderly, there are two types of care, family and formal. The field of nursing specialized in the care of the elderly is Geriatrics [ 4 ]. Its purpose...
