Serum Lipid Profile in Early Pregnancy as a Predictor of Preeclampsia

Background: The study aimed to investigate the relationship be tween early pregnancy serum lipid concentrations an d risk of preeclampsia. Material and Methods: Serum lipid profile was measured enzymatically by standar dized assay in 270 pregnant women between 13-20 weeks of gestation. Out of these total number 58 subjects developed preec lampsia (study group) while 212 subjects remained normotensive (control group). Results: The mean serum level of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein cholest erol (LDL-C) and very low density lipoprotein chole sterol (VLDL-C) was significantly higher in preeclamptic women as compared to normotensive pregnant women. While preeclamptic women showed significant fall in high density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL-C) level as compared to normal pregnant women. Conclusion: The measurement of serum lipid profile in early pr egnancy may serve as early predictor of preeclampsi a.
Quality of Life in Patients Under Investigation for Unclear Chest Pain; Before and After Coronary Angiography

Background: Patients with unclear chest pain experience more anxiety compared to those receiving a clear diagnosis, and they also report lower quality of life (QoL) than a general population. The aim was to investigate if there were differences in QoL before coronary angiography compared to six months later. Methods: This was a quantitative study using the questionnaire EQ-5D. The study population consisted of patients (N=150) with unclear chest pain, referred for elective coronary angiography. They were asked to complete a questionnaire the day before coronary angiography and six months later. Results: Significant improvements were seen regarding usual activities, pain/discomfort and total health status on the day before coronary angiography compared to at six months follow up. Conclusions: Patients with unclear chest pain seem to estimate their total health status before coronary angiography worse than both the general population and myocardial infarction patients. Those with coronary artery disease CAD rated better total health status in comparison to those with a final diagnosis of no CAD. However, six months later significant improvements were seen.

Role of lymph node yield and lymph node ratio in predicting outcomes in non‐metastatic colorectal cancer

Lymph node yield (LNY) of 12 or more in resection of colorectal cancer is recommended in current international guidelines. Although a low LNY (less than 12) is associated with poorer outcome in some studies, its prognostic value is unclear in patients with early‐stage colorectal or rectal cancer with a complete pathological response following neoadjuvant therapy. Lymph node ratio (LNR), which reflects the proportion of positive to total nodes obtained, may be more accurate in predicting outcome in stage III colorectal cancer. This study aimed to identify factors correlating with LNY and evaluate the prognostic role of LNY and LNR in colorectal cancer.
Coming Home: Considering Sustainable Human Development in Jordan’s Palestinian Refugee Camps After the Conflict

ABSTRACT The study explores the views of Palestinian refugee camp residents in Jordan on the long-term provision of health and education services in the camps and their status as residents of the Hashemite Kingdom, contrasting these views with the policies and future plans of the Jordanian government. Special attention is given to the Right of Return discussed in UNGA Resolution 194 and the possibility that many refugees would willingly choose to remain in Jordan if given the option of returning. The study asks how Jordan and the refugees it hosts would be affected by a possible solution to the broader IsraeliPalestinian conflict that offered a much limited Right of Return, adding to the number of Palestinians who would remain in Jordan. Through a series of interviews conducted in the al-Wahdat and Jabal alHussein refugee camps and in a variety of government offices, the study investigates the implications of such an agreement on what were found to be the main issues facing the camp residents and government: basic services, integration, identity, inequality, and citizenship rights. The study found that the Right of Return would indeed be limited in all likelihood, with 60 percent of interviewed participants believing most of their neighbors would stay in Jordan regardless of a Right of Return and government representatives citing political and economic limitations that would further limit the prospects for return. The study also explores the concepts of home and legitimacy for the refugees in a qualitative style designed to encourage the opening of a dialogue on the issues Jordan and its camp residents are likely to face when a resolution is achieved. The study aims to begin an honest and pragmatic discussion of these issues since one has not developed in the literature to date.

THE IMPACT OF LOUPE-ASSISTED INGUINAL VARICOCELECTOMY ON SEMEN QUALITY AND PREGNANCY RATE.

Context Open varicocelectomy is generally performed without microscopic equipment in Iran. We report our experience with loupe-assisted inguinal varicocelectomy, and its impact on semen parameters and pregnancy rate. Subjects and Methods We conducted a retrospective interventional study on secondary data obtained from the medical records of 303 men with varicoceles, who underwent an inguinal varicocelectomy between March 2003 and April 2012. The surgical technique involved the use of a 3.0 × loupe during spermatic cord dissection at the level of the internal inguinal ring under spinal anesthesia. Semen samples were analyzed for sperm concentration, motility, and sperm morphology before the varicocelectomy and after 3 months. All the infertile patients were followed-up postoperatively for more than 1 year. Results There were 9 (3.0%) varicocele recurrences and 3 (1.0%) hydroceles. After varicocelectomy, sperm concentration and motile spermatozoa increased. In addition, spermatozoa with normal morphology improved significantly postoperatively. Of the 303 subjects treated, 153 (83.2) had a 1-year preoperative history of infertility; the spontaneous pregnancy rate of the spouses during the follow-up period was reported to be 61.4%. Conclusions The results of this research indicated that varicocelectomy using loupe-assisted inguinal technique could improve semen parameters and pregnancy rate with a low postoperative complication rate.
Achievement Goals and Academic Cheating

Buts d’accomplissement et triche academiqueDans cet article, nous examinons les relations entre la theorie des buts (buts de maitrise et de performance) et la triche academique. Apres avoir passe en revue les caracteristiques demographiques classiques des etudiants qui pratiquent la triche academique, nous examinons les relations entre celle-ci et les buts d’accomplissement. Les resultats indiquent generalement que les buts de maitrise sont lies a moins de triche, alors que les buts de performance sont lies a plus de triche. Cependant, les relations complexes entre les differents niveaux de mesure des buts (buts personnels, structures de buts en classe, structures de buts a l’echelle de l’ecole) et differents types de triche indiquent que ces relations ne sont pas toujours aussi previsibles qu’on pourrait l’esperer. Les implications pour les recherches a venir sont discutees.
Travesty and Transgression: Transvestism in Shakespeare, Brecht, and Churchill

In Marguerite Duras's The Lover (1984), the first person narrator recalls her image at fifteen and a half crossing the Mekong on a ferry that takes her to school in Saigon. She is wearing a silk dress that used to belong to her mother, gold lam6 evening shoes, and a "flat-brimmed hat, a brownish-pink fedora with a broad black ribbon. " "The crucial ambiguity of the image," she suggests, "lies in the hat. " Like the shoes, the hat must have been a discount item:
Improving Survivability in Motor Vehicle Fires

Automobile fires are consistently among the largest causes of fire death in the United States (about 500 annually) and the U.S. motor vehicle industry has spent $14 million in recent years studying this problem. The authors of this review have analyzed the auto industry reports, the scientific literature, and statistical data, and conclude that measures should be taken to improve survivability in automobile fires. The US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302 was introduced almost 40 years ago to measure the flammability of interior materials, but improvements in the crashworthiness of automobiles and their fuel tanks and the increased use of combustible materials has changed the motor vehicle fire scenario significantly. In particular, the primary threat has changed from ignition of a small quantity of combustible interior materials by a lit cigarette, in 1960, to ignition of a large quantity of combustible interior and exterior materials by an impact-induced fire, at present. The authors therefore suggest that FMVSS 302 is no longer relevant to automobile fire safety and recommend improved standards based on objective criteria for fire safety performance (fireworthiness) at the system/vehicle level as is routinely done for crashworthiness.
Predictors of optimum antenatal iron-folate supplementation in a low resource rural set-up in Eastern Kenya

There is depressed prevalence of the optimum iron-folate supplementation in Kenya and in other sub-Saharan Africa countries. The study was motivated by the paucity of area-specific data on predictors of optimum iron-folate supplementation. The aim of the study was to assess the maternal, knowledge and institutional factors that predict 90+ days (optimum) iron-folate supplementation among pregnant women in a rural set-up in Eastern Kenya. A descriptive cross-sectional study to collect quantitative data from 352 mothers of under-five years old children attending 7 health facilities in Kalama Division of Machakos constituency within Machakos County in lower Eastern Kenya. Using a standard questionnaire, mothers recalled the number of days they had ingested iron-folate supplements in their latest pregnancies. The overall prevalence of optimum supplementation (90+ days) during latest pregnancies was 18.3% and on average the study mothers were supplemented for ~38 days during the antenatal period. Mothers who visited antenatal care (ANC) for ≥4days (odd ratio [OR]: 2.756, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.396-5.445) were more likely to take iron-folate supplements for 90+ days and be supplemented for more days (45.8) than <4 days visitors (26.2 days), p=0.017. Earlier ANC visit was associated with the mean days of supplementation (p=0.006), but not with optimum supplementation (OR: 0.412, 95% CI: 0.236-0.719). Knowledge on supplementation for a minimum of 90 days predicted optimum supplementation (OR: 5.872, 95% CI: 2.945 -11.709). Knowledge on when to start supplementation and importance of supplementation only predicted higher days of supplementation (p<0.05), but not the optimum supplementation. Pregnant women who used tablet form were more likely to be supplemented optimally (OR: 1.007, 95% CI: 1.004-1.116). Those who were supplemented with a combined form of supplement were more likely to have more days of supplementation (p=0.004), but not optimum (OR: 1.125, 95% CI: 0.419-3.021) compared to those who used single iron and folate supplement. To increase the proportion of pregnant mothers taking iron-folate supplements for 90+ days in low resource rural set-ups, there should be intensified counselling/education on ANC attendance ≥ 4 times and on minimum number of days for optimum iron-folate supplementation. Use of tablets as opposed to syrup increases the likelihood for antenatal ingestion of iron-folate supplements for 90+ days in rural low-resource set-up. Key words: Predictors, optimum supplementation, iron-folate supplements, pregnant women
Problems of Chronology, Decoration, and Urban Design in the Forum at Pompeii

This article offers an archaeological and structural analysis of the four main buildings on the east side of the forum at Pompeii and challenges widely published and generally accepted views about the forum. Major problems of chronology, decoration, and urban design are emphasized through a methodology that rejects the prevalent building-by-building approach to the forum in favor of an approach that allows the significance of the urban ensemble to reveal itself. Connections with Rome in areas of building type, iconography, and design are stressed. A reexamination of the evidence points to a comprehensive post-earthquake (i.e., post-62) plan for the east side of the forum, a design whose hallmarks are the unification and monumentalization of the urban center. These goals were achieved by blocking streets, linking facades, upgrading building materials, and emphasizing the now more prominent northeastern and southeastern entrances. The concomitant economic implications are significant. Rather than being a symbol of the depressed economic conditions at Pompeii after 62, the forum with its vigorous and ambitious post-earthquake building program reveals both a desire to rebuild on a grand scale and an ability (with assistance from Rome? ) to carry it out.
Fever of unknown origin due to left atrial myxoma

Fever of unknown origin may present diagnostic and/or curative difficulties. Myxomas are one of the rare causes of fever of unknown origin. A 67-year-old man with a 4-month history of fever of unknown origin was admitted to our department. Physical examination revealed 38.4°C axillary temperature and accentuated second heart sound in cardiac auscultation. Blood, urinary, and throat cultures were negative. Transesophageal echocardiography showed a left atrial mass partially prolapsing into the left ventricle during diastole. Left atrial mass was excised, and histological examination showed atrial myxoma. Fever resolved within 48 hours after the operation, and the patient was discharged from hospital with complete improvement.
ABO Blood Groups and Malaria Parasitaemia in Outpatients of BMSH Port Harcourt, Rivers State

A cross – sectional study was conducted to investigate the relationship between ABO blood groups and malaria parasitaemia in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Thick and thin films made from venous blood samples collected from 1000 consenting outpatient study subjects, were stained with 10% Giemsa stains and viewed microscopically using oil immersion objective to detect malaria parasites following standard parasitological techniques. ABO blood group typing with monoclonal Antisera A, B and D was carried out using agglutination technique. An overall malaria prevalence of 32% was observed among the study subjects irrespective of blood groups. Blood groups A and O had higher malaria prevalence rates of 38% and 33% respectively while blood group AB had the least malaria prevalence rate of 13% (P<0.05). Malaria parasite density levels >1000 parasites/μL in relation to ABO blood groups showed a higher prevalence in blood group A and least prevalence in blood group O with rates of 29% and 3% respectively (P<0.05). This study showed that individuals with blood group O were susceptible to contracting uncomplicated malaria infections but had a high resistance to developing severe malaria parasitemia compared to individuals with blood Original Research Article Wogu et al.; ARRB, 11(3): 1-4, 2016; Article no.ARRB. 29928 2 groups A, B and AB. Malaria control strategies should be directed equally at individuals with the different ABO blood groups because more research is required to fully understand the relationship between ABO blood groups and malaria parasitemia.
Data Mining Concepts and Techniques

Understand the need for analyses of large, complex, information-rich data sets. Identify the goals and primary tasks of the data-mining process. Describe the roots of data-mining technology. Recognize the iterative character of a data-mining process and specify its basic steps. Explain the influence of data quality on a data-mining process. Establish the relation between data warehousing and data mining. Data mining is an iterative process within which progress is defined by discovery, through either automatic or manual methods. Data mining is most useful in an exploratory analysis scenario in which there are no predetermined notions about what will constitute an "interesting" outcome. Data mining is the search for new, valuable, and nontrivial information in large volumes of data. It is a cooperative effort of humans and computers. Best results are achieved by balancing the knowledge of human experts in describing problems and goals with the search capabilities of computers. In practice, the two primary goals of data mining tend to be prediction and description. Prediction involves using some variables or fields in the data set to predict unknown or future values of other variables of interest. Description, on the other hand, focuses on finding patterns describing the data that can be interpreted by humans. Therefore, it is possible to put data-mining activities into one of two categories: Predictive data mining, which produces the model of the system described by the given data set, or Descriptive data mining, which produces new, nontrivial information based on the available data set.
Water Management, Patronage Networks and Religious Change: New evidence from the Sanchi dam complex and counterparts in Gujarat and Sri Lanka

As described in earlier papers (Shaw & Sutcliffe 2001; 2003) sixteen ancient dams in the Vidisha and Raisen districts of Madhya Pradesh, central India were documented during a multi-phase archaeological survey carried out between 1998 and 2000 (Shaw 2000; In press -a, -b). Covering about 750 km, the survey centred upon Sanchi, and included the four other known Buddhist sites of Morel-khurd, Sonari, Satdhara and Andher, all established between c. 3rd and 2nd centuries BC (Fig. 1). The discovery of a large number of previously undocu­ mented Buddhist sites, habitational settlements, rockshelters, and sculptures provided a social and religious context for understanding the dams. The latter vary in height from 1 to 6 m, in length from 80 to 1400 m, and in reservoir volume from 0.03 to 3.0 mxl0. In spite of their variety, they appear to have been constructed to a height sufficient to ensure that the reservoir volume would be in accordance with the volume of runoff from the upstream catchment of each site. The dams were well constructed, with an earthen core, and usually strengthened with masonry protection on the upstream face. Preliminary terminus post quern dates of between 1st century BC and 5th century AD were provided by naga (serpent) sculptures located on or near some of the embankments (Shaw and Sutcliffe 2001, pp. 68-71). Other chronological pointers were provided by morphological factors such as stone-facing type, and the dates of associated settlements and Buddhist sites. On this basis, the earliest phase of construction was dated pro­ visionally to between 3rd and 1st century BC, with others up to 5th century AD or later. These dates require verification through excavation and the analysis of buried soil surfaces (cf. Myrdal-Runebjer 1994; Risberg et al. 2002).
Corpus data in a usage-based cognitive grammar

The present paper is intended to bridge the long-established gap between corpus-based research into actual language use on the one hand and cognitive models of the abstract language system (in terms of speaker’s ‘competence’) on the other. For this purpose, a very useful, non-generative framework is provided by Langacker’s usage-based cognitive grammar. In general, the consideration of corpus data in cognitive grammar leads to an innovative and realistic model of speakers’ linguistic knowledge, i.e. a model which is data-oriented and frequency-based, functionalist and lexicogrammatical in nature. This theoretical from-corpus-to-cognition approach will be illustrated by discussing corpus data on the use of the ditransitive verb GIVE and by sketching out how the data may be included in a truly usage-based model of the lexicogrammar of GIVE.
