Study of sexual dysfunction in men with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Introduction: Sexuality is a very complex aspect of human being’s life. Usually it is an ignored subject in various questionnaires for evaluation of Rheumatoid arthritis patients. Sexual function in such patients can be affected by pain, fatigue, functional limitations, stiff joints, depressive mood, negative body image, anxiety, mental distress, erectile dysfunction, hormonal disturbances and drug treatment. Aim: To study the importance of evaluating sexual dysfunction and the various causes for the same in Rheumatoid Arthritis in men. Materials and Method: 50 males between the ages of 30-55 years with Rheumatoid Arthritis in a tertiary health care centre in Karnataka were included in this study. Analysis: Patients were asked about various aspects of sexual functioning and main causes of dysfunction. Pain, libido, fatigue, depressive liability, erectile dysfunction and effect of drug treatment were included in the questionnaire. Results: 40 out of the 50 patients reported some kind of sexual disability / dysfunction. 35 out of 40 patients complained of pain/stiffness of joints/functional limitations/ fatigue as the cause of their disabilities. 6 out of 40 patients reported erectile dysfunction. 11 out of 25 patients reported reduced libido out of which 2 blamed chronic medication for their reduced libido. 2 out 40 patients admitted to altered body image to be the cause of sexual dysfunction. Mental distress and depressed mood were reported by 5 out of 40 patients. Conclusion: At the end of this study, we have come to the conclusion that the major cause of sexual disability / dysfunction in men having Rheumatoid Arthritis is pain/stiffness of joints/functional limitations/ fatigue. Second major cause is erectile dysfunction and decreased libido. Depression, drug therapy and altered body image are the other causes. All these things can be attended to using various modes of treatment if the patient is asked about sexual aspect of his life which can eventually lead to improvement in overall quality of life of the patient.

To study the efficacy safety and compliance of iron sucrose in mild, moderate and severe anemia in antenatal patients

Introduction: Anaemia is a major public health problems in developing world. Anaemia is a pathological condition in which the oxygen binding capacity of red cells is insufficient to meet the body’s need. Anaemia is the most common medical disorder complicating pregnancy. It may antedate pregnancy, often aggravated by pregnancy and delivery. More than 70% of pregnant women suffer from nutritional anaemia in South East Asia. Of all the anaemias diagnosed during pregnancy 75% are due to iron deficiency. The prevalence of anaemia is 55% among expectant mothers across the world and the incidence in India varies from 40 –90% according to WHO reports. Materials and Method: The prospective study was carried out in the department of obstetrics and Gynecology, in Konaseema institute of medical science Amalapuram during 2015 -16 to access the efficacy, safety and compliance of injectable iron sucrose in pregnancy with mild, moderate and severe iron deficiency anaemia for a period of 12 months from Nov 2015 to Nov 2016. Result: Among the total number of 104 patients studied, mean age of the study group was 25.4 ± 3.26 years. Teen age pregnancies with anaemia formed 5.7% of the study group. Most cases, i.e. 77.9% were between 20 – 30 years. Elderly gravidas comprised 16.4%. The mean Hb% on day of Admission was 7.670 gm% which raised to 10.388 on day 28 of completion of iron therapy. Thus the mean Hb rise on day 28 was 2.718 gm% which is statistically significant (p value being 0.000). The Hb level at 38 weeks of gestation is 9.162 which is significantly higher when compared with Hb value on the day of admission (p value being 0.000). Discussion: Haemoglobin values varied significantly with time between groups (interaction effect, p
Implicit Emotion Detection From Text With Information Fusion

In this paper we have proposed an approach for emotion detection in implicit texts. We have introduced a combinational system based on three subsystems. Each one analyzes input data from a different aspect and produces an emotion label as output. The first subsystem is a machine learning method. The second one is a statistical approach based on vector space model (VSM) and the last one is a keyword-based subsystem with an information fusion component to aggregate the final output of main system. We analyzed the performance of our proposed system on ISEAR dataset with seven emotions: anger, joy, sad, shame, fear, disgust and guilt. The results show that our combinational system outperforms each subsystem with overall f-measure of 0.68 and at least up to 0.71 in terms of F1 in emotion level except for anger. The overall performance of the main system is 9.13% better than machine learning module, 16.6% better than VSM and 23% better than keyword-based.
Metastasis of Adult Granulosa Cell Tumor to Mediastinum, Lung, and Pleura 11 and 25 Years after Initial Diagnosis, Report of Two Cases and Review of the Literature

Ovarian adult granulosa cell tumors are relatively rare low-grade malignant tumor. Metastasis of granulosa cell tumors often happens a long interval after initial surgical resections. This could lead to diagnostic difficulties due to loss of clinical follow up and lack of detailed clinical history. We present 2 cases of metastatic granulosa cell tumor to the lung, pleura, and mediastinum 11 and 25 years respectively after resection of primary tumors. The first case was a 67-year-old woman presented with a large mediastinal mass who underwent surgical resection with a clinical impression of thymoma. The tumor was largely necrotic, and focal viable tumor was composed of epithelioid cells with pale eosinophilic cytoplasm, irregular nuclei, and rare grooved nuclei. No typical Call-Exner body was identified. The histological differential diagnosis was broad, and a metastatic tumor was highly suspected. Additional clinical information was requested; it revealed a history of left ovarian mass with a diagnosis of adult granulosa tumor 11 years ago. The mediastinal tumor was confirmed to be adult granulosa cell tumor by immunohistochemistry. The second case involves a 74-year-old woman who presented with left pleural effusion and a large subpleural lung mass, with biopsy demonstrating classic histological features of adult granulosa cell tumor. She had bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy 25 years ago, so diagnostic details of the ovarian lesion were unavailable. Adult granulosa cell tumor can present as late metastasis at unusual locations. The possibility of metastatic granulosa tumors should always be kept in mind, and clinical history is critical to promote an accurate diagnosis of late onset metastatic granulosa cell tumor.
Internal fixation of low energy pilon fractures: Prospective study of two treatment options (ORIF/MIPO)

Objective: Pilon fractures are intra articular distal tibia fractures involving articular surface or tibial plafond. Various options of treatments are open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), external fixation, arthroscopic assisted fixation, minimally invasive plate osteosynthes (MIPO). MIPO is an option for extra articular and few undisplaced type B fractures. It may not be suitable in complete articular fractures (43 C) type injuries unless severe soft tissue injury is involved. Type C fractures need accurate articular reduction which may need open reduction and internal fixation. This is a prospective study comparing functional outcome and complications of internal fixation of different types of low energy pilon fractures treated in our hospital with MIPO and ORIF technique. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in our trauma centre from 2012 to 2015 on pilon fractures. We included all low energy pilon fractures (OTA A, B, and C) both open and closed fractures treated by internal fixation with MIPO or ORIF. Group 1 subjects were treated by distal tibia locking plates by MIPO technique. Group 2 by open reduction and internal fixation by different approaches as required depending on fracture fragments. AOFAS ankle hind foot scale was used to assess outcome and was done at the end of follow-up. Results: Pilon fractures type A and B were mainly treated by MIPO while type C was mainly treated by ORIF. Delayed union more frequently seen in MIPO and flap necrosis and delayed wound healing in ORIF group. There was no significant difference in functional outcome by the end of two year as shown by AOFAS scoring (p value 0.851). Conclusion: Internal fixation is an effective method of treatment for pilon fractures. MIPO and ORIF are equally effective provided articular congruity is maintained.
Towards an operational use of VHF SAR data for forest mapping and forest management

Forest stand parameters at high spatial resolution are needed for long and short term planning of forestry operations. Investigations in recent years, relating data from the Swedish airborne CARABAS-II VHF SAR sensor to forest stand parameters, have shown very promising results, which have motivated additional studies. Several flight campaigns over public and privately owned forested areas in Sweden have been conducted during 1999 and 2000. The objectives for these new projects are to validate results from earlier investigations, to study tree species, soil moisture, and ground slope induced backscattering variations, and to develop methods for detection of changes caused by logging activities and other rapid changes. The overall goals for these projects are to study the operational use of VHF SAR data to derive forest parameters and to develop a cost-effective remote sensing tool for mapping of forest characteristics at high spatial resolution and with high accuracy.
CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY OF MENINGIOMA: 10 YEAR EXPERIENCE FROM A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL

INTRODUCTION: Meningiomas are neoplasms derived from arachnoidal cap cells in the meningeal coverings of the spinal cord and brain. They constitute one of the most common benign intracranial tumours. MATERIAL AND METHODS: It was a single centre retrospective observational study of 126 cases from 2007 to 2016. RESULTS: Meningiomas accounted for 20.5% of all CNS lesions. Mean age of patients was 47.6 years. Females had higher predilection for meningioma. The most common clinical symptom was headache (38.9%). Cerebral convexity was the most favoured site (42.1%). Grade I meningiomas were 85.7%, grade II were 11.9% and grade III were 2.4%. Transitional meningioma was most common variant (53.2%) followed by atypical type (11.1%) and meningothelial type (9.5%). Males were found to have a much higher incidence of grade II meningiomas (7.9%) and grade III meningiomas (2.4%). CONCLUSION: Histological variants of meningioma aid in prognostication and treatment.
Investigating the impact of culture on evacuation behaviour

A framework to enable the systematic analysis of Re sponse Phase behaviours is presented and applied to an unannounced evacuation trial in a uni versity library in the Czech Republic. The framework not only provides a consistent method for describing Response Phase behaviour, but also provides a framework for classifying and quantifyin g the Response Phase other than simply using the overall response time. The framework also provides a means of predicting average response times based on a number of empirical factors. This work f orms the basis of a large study concerned with investigating the impact of culture on evacuation b ehaviour.
Do Persian and English Dissertation Acknowledgments Accommodate Hyland's Model: a Cross-Linguistic Study

In recent decades, genre analysis has attracted many researchers' attention. The present study was to observe the differences in generic structure of doctoral dissertation acknowledgements texts written by native speakers of Persian (NSP) and native speakers of English (NSE). To this end, 80 Persian acknowledgement texts and the same number of English dissertations acknowledgement texts were selected. The model relied on in the current study was Hyland’s (2004) model. After analyzing each text the main moves and their steps were extracted and the frequencies of each one were calculated and compared. Also, chi-square test was applied to check the meaningfulness of the differences. The result revealed a high degree of match between the two groups in exploiting most moves and steps. Also, the two groups employed the reflective move and accepting responsibility step in a statistically meaningful manner. In addition, a new step called ''thanking God'' step was discovered throughout this study which the difference in using this step between NSP and NSE was statistically significant.
Exercises on collocations: a comparison of trial-and-error and exemplar-guided procedures

A growing body of evidence suggests that second or foreign language learners stand a lot to gain from mastering a variety of multiword units, such as idiomatic expressions and collocations. Although most of the research on this formulaic dimension of language and its relevance for language learners has so far dealt with English, there are solid grounds for believing that formulaicity is part and parcel of natural languages in general, and that pedagogues should therefore give due attention to multiword units also in other target languages than English, such as Spanish. Contemporary textbooks for language learning have started to include a focus on lexical phrases generally and on collocations in particular, albeit mostly through decontextualized exercises where learners are required in one way or another to match words that form partnerships. Often, these exercises do not first provide the learners with exemplars of the correct, intact target collocations that are to be assembled in the exercises. Instead.
A Saline Test Injection Mode Improving the Safety of Using a Power Injector for CT

Background: Computed tomography (CT) with rapid injection of contrast medium is important for the diagnosis of many diseases. To obtain good diagnostic accuracy, a power injector is recommended and routinely used to achieve a consistent injection rate of contrast medium. Although rapid contrast injection improves diagnostic accuracy, it increases the risk of extravasation of contrast medium. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the extravasation rate of contrast medium using a power injector and determine if using a saline test injection mode can reduce the rate. Patients and Methods: The records of 10,310 computed tomography (CT) examinations with contrast administration by a dual-syringe power injector were retrospectively reviewed. Before contrast administration, the same volume of saline was injected with a higher injection rate than that for contrast medium and the protocol was defined as “saline test injection mode”. The incident reports of patients with extravasations were reviewed and the extravasation rate and prevention rate were calculated. Results: Extravasations occurred in 12 (0.12%) of 10310 patients, and follow-up information was available for all patients. Five (41.67%) of 12 extravasations occurred during the saline test injection period, and the CT examinations were completed after creation of a new venous access. Contrast medium extravasation occurred in only six (0.06%) patients. One of the patients with contrast medium extravasation developed compartment syndrome and required decompression surgery. Other cases with extravasation had only mild symptoms and improved within 5 days. Conclusion: The saline test injection mode may reduce the risk of contrast medium extravasation and improve the safety of using a power injector.
A study of the missing data problems in 3D structure reconstruction and 2D face recognition

Missing data problems exist in many science and engineering fields. In this thesis, we discuss two important missing data problems in computer vision and pattern recognition: 3D reconstruction with structure from motion and 2D face recognition with occlusions. The task of structure from motion for 3D reconstruction can be reduced to the problem of finding a low-rank ( r) matrix that best fits an original data matrix of higher rank. The problem becomes especially difficult when the original data matrix has some missing entries and contains an unknown additive noise term in the remaining elements. The former problem can be solved by concatenating a set of r-column matrices which share a common, singler-dimensional solution space. Unfortunately, the number of possible submatrices is generally very large and, hence, the results obtained with one set of r-column matrices will generally be different from that captured by a different set. Ideally, we would like to find that solution which is least affected by noise. This requires that we determine which of ther-column matrices ( i.e. which of the original feature points) are less influenced by the unknown noise term. A criterion which can successfully carry out such a selection is presented in this thesis. Our key result is to formally prove that the more distinct the r vectors of the r-column matrices are, the less they are swayed by noise. This key result is then combined with the use of a noise model to derive an upper-bound for the effect that noise and occlusions have on each of the r-column matrices. It is shown how this criterion can be
Effect of remote ischemic Pre-conditioning on primary percutaneous coronary intervention outcomes: a randomized clinical trial

Background: Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a simple non-invasive method by using cycles of ischemia and reperfusion on a remote organ. Objective: To determine the effect of RIPC outcomes in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methods: This double blind randomized clinical trial was conducted in two teaching and reference hospitals in Mashhad, Iran. Sixty patients with acute STEMI were enrolled from October 2018 to January 2019. The patients were allocated into two groups, by using sealed envelope randomization i.e., a study group of patients who had undergone RIPC intervention and a control group of patients who had not undergone RIPC. Half an hour before PPCI, a sphygmomanometer cuff was placed around the left upper arm and inflated up to 200mmHg for five minutes; then the cuff was deflated for another five minutes, and this cycle was repeated 3 times before or during PPCI. Corrected Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count, ST-segment resolution, reperfusion arrhythmias and contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) were evaluated in both groups after PPCI. Study data was analyzed by SPSS version 16. Results: A total number of 26 males and 14 females were studied in study groups (n=20 for each). Both groups were homogenous according to their baseline characteristics. Both TIMI grade and Corrected Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Frame Count CTFC significantly improved after RIPC (p=0.001 and p<0.0001 respectively). Moreover, CIN and reperfusion arrhythmias were reduced in the intervention group (p=0.028 and p=0.016 respectively). Also, ST-segment resolution was significantly different among groups (p=0.002). After adjusting for baseline factors only a significant relationship was observed between performing intervention and final TIMI grade (OR=26.416, 95% CI for OR=1.063, 656.184, p=0.046). Conclusion: RIPC can effectively reduce CIN and reperfusion arrhythmias in patients undergoing PPCI. Also, RIPC improved ST segment resolution and TIMI flow grade, and corrected TIMI frame count. Based on our results, RIPC may have a protective effect of on PPCI outcomes. Trial registration: The trial was registered at the Iranian Clinical Trial Registry (IRCT) (http://www.irct.ir) with the IRCT identification number IRCT20150614022713N2. http://www.ephysician. ir Page 7472 Founding: This research was supported financially by the Research Council of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (Ref: 970162).
Development of immunohistochemical triple staining method for the evaluation of different types of cell death in coronary thrombus

Immunohistochemistry is a powerful technique to identify the presence, distribution and extent of certain antigens at protein level in tissue specimen. Multiple immunostainings enable the detection, colocalization and comparison of several markers within one specimen. However, an optimization study is firstly needed to ensure the expression of multiple markers is clear and distinguishable. We formulated an optimized sequential triple immunostaining protocol which could identify the simultaneous presence of three types of cell death namely necrosis, apoptosis and etosis. These following antibodies were used: C-reactive protein (CRP, necrosis), (cleaved) Caspase-3 (Casp3, apoptosis) and citrullinated-Histone3 (CitH3, etosis). Several antigen retrieval methods, various concentration and order combinations of those antibodies as well as different combination color of chromogens were tested on coronary thrombus materials obtained from patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The results showed that CRP (1:4000) visualized with 3,3’-diaminobenzidine (DAB) in brown, is better performed as the first staining, followed by CitH3 (1:8000) visualized with Perma Blue as the second staining and Casp3 (1:500) visualized with Perma Red as the last staining. In conclusion, we presented an immunohistochemical triple staining protocol to identify the comparative presence of different types of cell deaths: necrosis, apoptosis and etosis in coronary thrombus specimens.
Histological and Histomorphometric Evaluation of Anterior Part of Rats Tongue Exposed to Passive Cigarette Smoking

Tobacco causes multiple human malignancies including cancers of the lung, oral cavity, pharynx, stomach, liver and cervix. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of passive cigarette smoke on histological feature of anterior part of tongue and filiform and fungiform lingual papillae. Twelve male albino rats were divided in to two groups. One served as control while the other exposed to passive cigarette smoke for 60 days. Tongues specimens underwent histopathological and histomorphometric analysis. The tongue of passive smoking group represented pleomorphic filiform papillae with excessive keratin formation, marked disappearance of secondary papillae with flattening of the basement membrane. The fungiform papillae were smaller in size having thin keratin layer and some of them had degenerated taste bud. The serous acini of the anterior part showed mild vacuolization and inflammatory infiltration in the connective tissue stroma. The ventral surface showed decreased epithelial thickness, basement membrane irregularity and thinning of the keratin layer. Histomorphometric analysis showed decreased diameter of the filiform in response to passive smoking while its length differ according to its location; papillae at tip had normal length, at dorsal surface became elongated while those near the root had a decreased length. In conclusion, passive smoking had a deleterious effects on the histological structure of anterior part of tongue. In addition, it affected the morphology of filiform and fungiform lingual papillae.
