Sphenoid wing dural arteriovenous fistula: A case report and literature review
Authors: Shimizu Yu , Tokuda Kazuhiko , Park Cheho
Published: December 2020

Background:

Sphenoid wing dural arteriovenous fistula (SWDAVF) is rare that is typically fed by middle meningeal artery feeders and that drain through the sphenoparietal sinus or middle cerebral vein. Here, we report a case of SWDAVF treated by coils placed in the venous aneurysm through the contralateral cavernous sinus (CS).

Case Description:

A 37-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with headache and bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy. Magnetic resonance images and an angiogram showed a venous aneurysm in the right middle cranial fossa. A DAVF, consisting of two main feeders, was diagnosed based on the angiogram findings. The fistula drained into the left inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) through the left CS and right IPS. Given the remarkable extent of venous ectasia together with the headache and right abducens nerve paralysis, endovascular treatment was initiated. A transvenous approach through the right IPS was not feasible, as it is strenuous to insert the microcatheter into the right IPS. Thus, we tried an approach through the left IPS. The venous aneurysm was embolized with coils. The postoperative course was uneventful, and postoperative cerebral angiography confirmed disappearance of the fistula.

Conclusion:

A SWDAVF is extremely rare. In our case, since the AVF drained into the contralateral CS, contralateral ocular symptoms occurred. Endovascular occlusion of the venous aneurysm and fistula was achieved through a transvenous approach.

Authors: Rahimizadeh Abolfazl , Williamson Walter , Rahimizadeh Shaghayegh , Amirzadeh Mahan
Published: December 2020

Background:

Tubercular atlantoaxial, rotary dislocation warranting fixation (AARF) is an extremely rare event.

Case Description:

AARF was suspected in a 23-year-old female with painful torticollis. When diagnostic studies documented unilateral destruction of the left lateral mass of the atlas, she underwent removal of the lateral mass, reduction of the deformity, and C1-C2 fusion/reconstruction utilizing an iliac bone graft. Laboratory tests and the pathologic surveys were all consistent with the diagnosis of underlying tuberculosis.

Conclusion:

We present a case of tubercular atlantoaxial, rotary dislocation (AARF) in a patient who warranted C1-C2 decompression, reduction, and fusion.
99mTc-UBI 29-41 bone SPECT/CT scan in craniofacial Actinomyces israelii: Misdiagnosis of cranial bone tumor – A case report
Authors: Cerda-Vargas María F. De la , Rangel José Antonio Candelas , Mata Elizabeth Meza , Ramírez-Cárdenas Araceli , Sandoval-Bonilla Bayron A.
Published: December 2020

Background:

Actinomycosis is a rare infection, frequently misdiagnosed as a neoplasia. This chronic and granulomatous disease is caused by Actinomyces israelii species. Cervicofacial actinomycosis occurs in 60% of cases and the diagnosis is commonly made by histopathology study.

Case Description:

We report a case of fronto-orbital osteomyelitis initially misdiagnosed as a cranial bone meningioma, but later proved to be a case of actinomycosis. 99mTechnetium (99mTc) three-phase bone single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and 99mTc-ubiquicidin (UBI) 29-41 bone SPECT/CT scans were performed to corroborate the control of the infection.

Conclusion:

Craniofacial actinomycosis is the most common presentation of actinomycosis. However, it continues to be a rare and difficult disease to diagnose and is often confused with a neoplastic process. The 99mTc-UBI 29-41 bone SPECT/CT scan could be an auxiliary noninvasive diagnostic alternative and a follow-up method for these patients.
Resolution of tardive tremor after bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation placement
Authors: Kashyap Samir , Ceponiene Rita , Savla Paras , Bernstein Jacob , Ghanchi Hammad , Ananda Ajay
Published: December 2020

Background:

Tardive tremor (TT) is an underrecognized manifestation of tardive syndrome (TS). In our experience, TT is a rather common manifestation of TS, especially in a setting of treatment with aripiprazole, and is a frequent cause of referrals for the evaluation of idiopathic Parkinson disease. There are reports of successful treatment of tardive orofacial dyskinesia and dystonia with deep brain stimulation (DBS) using globus pallidus interna (GPi) as the primary target, but the literature on subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS for tardive dyskinesia (TD) is lacking. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on DBS treatment of TT.

Case Description:

A 75-year-old right-handed female with the medical history of generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder had been treated with thioridazine and citalopram from 1980 till 2010. Around 2008, she developed orolingual dyskinesia. She was started on tetrabenazine in June 2011. She continued to have tremors and developed Parkinsonian gait, both of which worsened overtime. She underwent DBS placement in the left STN in January 2017 with near-complete resolution of her tremors. She underwent right STN implantation in September 2017 with similar improvement in symptoms.

Conclusion:

While DBS-GPi is the preferred treatment in treating oral TD and dystonia, DBS-STN could be considered a safe and effective target in patients with predominating TT and/or tardive Parkinsonism. This patient saw a marked improvement in her symptoms after implantation of DBS electrodes, without significant relapse or recurrence in the years following implantation.

Authors: Albert Albert
Published: December 2020

ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is a regional program which started in 2015, was developed by members of ASEAN countries which have agreed on pillars on mutual collaboration to increase the economic and social growth. The AEC has agreed to carry out four major pillars: (1) single market and production base, (2) competitive economic region, (3) equitable economic development and (4) integration into global economy. The four pillars are divided into 17 core elements, and among the core element, there is one particular core element which focuses on human resources which is the free flow of skilled labours. The government of the ASEAN countries have taken actions towards anticipating the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), especially in regards to the free flow of skilled labour. One of actions is improving the quality of education. Some countries have invested high amount of funds in order to increase the quality of graduates. Indonesia has also started to make improvements in the quality of education. One of the improvement was in the form of constructing Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF) which were then obliged for all education institution to follow.

Station to Station: Colin McCahon's Veronica Paintings, 1949-1979
Authors: Simpson Peter
Published: December 2020

The stations of the cross were a recurrent motif in Colin McCahon’s art. This article focuses on the one station that he singled out for particular emphasis: Station 6, Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. The paper argues that for McCahon the stations were a kind of matrix, grid or armature, a structure within which he could explore various religious and aesthetic ideas. The appeal of Veronica derives from the possibilities inherent in the image of Christ’s face on her veil or handkerchief as a symbol both of religious truth and aesthetic exploration; in McCahon’s work she becomes a kind of patron saint of painters.
Let Us Possess One World: McCahon, Abstraction and Transversal Art History
Authors: Smythe Luke
Published: December 2020

Since McCahon’s death in 1987, the art world has become more diverse, and so too has his circle of admirers. One reason for his work’s appeal to a diverse audience, I argue, is his impure approach to abstraction. This at once makes his paintings more accessible than they would be were they purely abstract, and allows viewers to find their own meanings in his art. To show how this is so, I consider the responses to McCahon’s work of five New Zealand abstract painters: Gretchen Albrecht, Stephen Bambury, Brent Harris, Ralph Hotere and Imogen Taylor.
A Family Plot

Published: December 2020

This essay begins with an account of the circumstances which led to my parents owning a Colin and Anne McCahon children’s painting. Then it expands upon certain biographical questions raised (or not raised) in my 2011 book Dark Night: Walking with McCahon. I describe the work I did in 2018 with Finn McCahon-Jones, Colin’s grandson, on the Visitor Narrative for the McCahon House Trust; and conclude with some thoughts upon the limitations of biography as a genre. Implicit in the discussion is a comparison, hopefully unforced, between my own family and that of the McCahons.

Published: December 2020

Considering the outbreak of Corona pandemic as a case study the article explores the dominant frames used in the coverage of COVID-19 pandemic by the Pakistani English e papers. The media framing is analyzed through qualitative inductive content analysis of the COVID-19 related news stories published in the e papers of Dawn and Express Tribune.  Three broad themes emerged as a result of the inductive content analysis which included Scientific Development related to Pandemic; Scale of Pandemic; Social and Economic Impact of Pandemic. The results indicated that the coverage by the e papers was mostly aimed at educating the readers; difficult jargon related to medicine was mostly avoided and where the use of jargon was unavoidable it was properly explained. Most of the stories were developing in nature as the pandemic itself was unfolding at a very fast pace during the selected time frame. The news related information was mostly compiled in a manner which was meant to both warn the readers and the policy makers about the growing scale of the pandemic. The coverage also provided recommendations for the revival of economic and social activities which were halted because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, the indirect relationship of anxiety also supported. Numerous unanswered queries pertinent to COVID-19 pandemic, and dubious situation leads towards huge size of disturbance in the lives of health care workers across the globe, therefore literature entails the necessity for researchers to study various factors that could have influence on mental well-being of an individual . The majority of relevant literature focused on mental well-being is from China, Europe, USA and other developed countries, however, fewer studies focused on South Asian region in general, and Pakistan in particular. So, present study fills the gap to unearth the factors of well-being for Pakistani health care workers. Pakistan have so far lost the lives of 58 healthcare providers to COVID-19 in the country and still counting while 240 healthcare providers are hospitalized. So there is intense need to study effect of mental well-being on health care workers as there is a need to save the survivors.

In late period, in (9.1 ± 2.1) yr at average, the treatment results in 37 (94.9%) patients were studied.

Results. Of 42 оperated patients 3 died (hospital mortality have constituted 7.1%) during the hospital stage. The sinus rhythm have had restored after the operation immediately in 34 (80.9%) patients, аnd in discharge from the hospital (11 - 13th postoperative day) persisted in 31 (73.8%) patient. Rate of restoration and preservation of the sinus rhythm in group of patients, in whom plasty of left atrium was performed, was higher, than in group of patients without plasty of left atrium: 86.2 and 46.2%, accordingly (р < 0.05). In late period good and satisfactory results of the operation were noted in 83.8% patients. During first 5 postoperative years the sinus rhythm have been preserved in 67.8% patients.

Conclusion. After correction of combined mitral-aortic failures with the simultant fragmentation operation on left atrium («labyrinth») in our modification in concomitant fibrillation of the heart atria a successful restoration of the sinus rhythm was noted in 73.8% patients on the hospital stage and its preservation during 5 postoperative years in 67.8% of the patients. Reduction of left atrium in its dilatation enhances possibility of the sinus rhythm restoration. Immediate and late results of operations permits to estimate the proposed procedure gains positively.

Anemia during pregnancy caused death in the mother and fetus. Husband's support for reduction the risk of anemia during pregnancy was important. The purpose study was to determine relationship husband's support of anemia management with the incidence anemia in pregnant.  Design research used analytic correlation with a cross-sectional. The population were third trimesters  pregnantcy in Mojokerto City. Sample size were 54 pregnant women with purposive sampling. Independent variabel was husband support. Dependent variabel was anemia in pregnant.  Instrument used a questionnaire and Analyse data with spearman rank test. Results showed  the majority had positive support and not anemia, namely 24 respondents (44.4%) while mild support and mild anemia were 15 respondents (25.9%). Spearman rank test p = 0.0002 and  correlation coefficient  0.838. It’s means the relationship between two variables is significant. The correlation between the relationship of husband support with anemic events in pregnant women and the nature of one-way relationships. There is a significant and very strong relationship. Husbands who are able to provide positive support to pregnant women can reduce the risk of anemia during pregnancy. The husband must provide support to wife including giving attention, empathetic, advice,  knowledge so that the risk of anemia in pregnancy decreases
Public Statues and Second-Class Citizens: The Spatial Politics of Romani Visibility in Interwar Budapest
Authors: Bak Árpád
Published: December 2020

In what might be called an extreme form of tokenism, memory sites devoted to the figures of outstanding Romani musicians, including public statues, began to appear in public urban spaces in fin-de-siècle and interwar Hungary amid the growing oppression of Roma by authorities. This article investigates, by focusing on case studies from Budapest in the interwar period, how public representations of Roma in the cultural spaces ofdominant society, though apparently inscribing diversity in the national narrative, were involved in the hegemonic practices of the time. The complexities of the interplay between inclusion in the symbolic realm and oppression in the social one are best illuminated when looking at the social and political uses of these urban landmarks.
Western Donors, Romani Organizations, and Uses of the Concept of Nation after 1989
Authors: Sambati Douglas Neander
Published: December 2020

This article discusses the relationship between Western donors and Romani and Romani-friendly organizations in Central and Eastern Europe after 1989. Based on literature review, interviews, reports, and websites, this paper upholds that the burst of Romani and Romani-friendly organizations in Central and Eastern Europe after 1989 primarily was made possible by financial support and expertise coming from Western organizations. Together with their work methodology, so-called donors took their own framework on  understanding groupings and enforced the concept of nation upon Gypsy/Romani populations. Therefore, Western donors and Romani activists and intellectuals alike essentialized (claimed) Gypsy/Romani traits in order to support a nation-building rhetoric. These Romani activists and intellectuals, in turn, are a legacy of policies from planned economies, and they actually might represent Gypsy/Romani communities from a privileged perspective – no longer fully insiders but as a vanguard.
A STUDY ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FLCC PROGRAMME LAUNCHED BY FEDERAL BANK
Authors: S Sreevidhya
Published: December 2020

The new economic reforms of government, advances in technology and great market orientation and financial innovation have reshaped the financial landscape. It means the people have so many investment opportunities. Poor people particularly in rural areas are often wary of banks and finds branches intimidating. A profound lack of financial literacy also reinforces the sense of alienation. The rural poor are also unaware about how to deal with credit, how to avoid incurring debts that cannot be repaid. In order to solve these problems RBI has decided to provide financial literacy along with credit counselling. As such RBI has come out with a model scheme on FLCC and advised banks to set up as many FLCC in order to achieve at least one FLCC per block.

In consonance with RBI directives the Federal Bank, the first bank in the state which started FLCC, established a trust namely ‘Federal Ashwas Trust’. The main objective of this trust is the establishment and running of ‘Federal Aswas Financial Literacy Centers’ (FAFLC) for providing financial education to the public. The objective of the scheme is to provide free financial literacy education and credit counselling to people in rural and urban area. Through this FLCC centers across the state, customers are educated on responsible borrowing, proactive and early savings and also offers debt counselling to individuals.

The aim of the present study was to detect a total of 11 polymorphisms of 6 genes (OCX32, GHR, DRD, VIP, VIPR, MR) related to egg yield and quality in six brown layer lines namely Rhode Island Red-I (RIRI), Rhode Island Red-II (RIRII), Barred Rock-I (BARI), Barred Rock-II (BARII), Colombian Rock (COL) and Line-54 (L5-4) raised in Ankara Poultry Research Institute. A total of 208 samples belonging to RIRI (n= 32), RIRII (n= 32), BARI (n= 40), BARII (n= 32), COL (n= 32) and L-54 (n= 40) were genotyped by PCR-RFLP method. For this reason, a total of 11 polymorphic regions were amplified by PCR and then PCR products were digested with specific restriction endonucleases. Results of the present study showed that polymorphisms and adequate genetic variations were found in OCX32-ex4/NcoI, OCX32-ex2/HpyCH4IV, DRD2/BseGI, VIPR-1/HhaI, VIPR-2/TaqI and MR1C/MboI genes which previously reported to associated with egg quality and yield in different chicken lines. However, conducting the association analysis between these genes and egg yield and quality will be useful. On the contrary, it has been revealed that GHR-intron 2/HindIII, GHR-intron 5/NspI, VIP-501/VspI, DRD1/BseNI and VIP-I2/HinfI polymorphisms cannot be used to increase egg yield and quality due to no detection of desired genotypes or homozygous excess.

In this study, the effects of some fungicides (boscalid+kresoxim methyl, fluopyram+tebuconazole, sulphur ve tetraconazole) used for control of powdery mildew disease in hazelnuts on Trichoderma harzianum (11-TTR-2), T. hamatum (F4), T. atroviride (T-4-5) and T. asperellum (T-11-25) were evaluated under in vitro conditions. The study showed that all concentrations (0.25×, 0.5×, 1.0× and 2.0×) of the fungicides significantly reduced the mycelial growth, spore germination and germ-tube elongation of Trichoderma isolates, when comparing to the control (P<0.05). Especially, fluopyram+tebuconazole was found to have the higher inhibitory effect to mycelial growth, spore germination and germ-tube elongation of all the isolates. Even at the lowest concentration (0.0625 mL L-1) used in the study, fluopyram+tebuconazole completely inhibited the mycelial growth of T. hamatum and T. asperellum, whereas it reduced mycelial growth of T. harzianum and T. atroviride by 93.97% and 89.48%, respectively. On the other hand, tetraconazole at a much higher concentration (1.0 mL L-1) were able to decrease the mycelial growth of T. harzianum and T. atroviride by 82.16% and 95.61%, respectively. Boscalid+kresoxim methyl and sulphur inhibited the mycelial growth of all four isolates at rates between 26.64-63.59% and 6.75-30.81%, respectively. The EC50 and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values indicated that fluopyram+tebuconazole was more toxic to all the isolates than tetraconazole. As a result, this study showed that boscalid+kresoxim methyl and sulphur can be recommended in hazelnut orchards, where Trichoderma spp. should be used against Xylosandrus germanus.

Authors: ÜNAL İlker
Published: December 2020

Otonom tarımsal mobil robotlar, tarımsal işlemler için traktörlere bir alternatiftir. Ancak, bu robotların dikim, ilaçlama, gübreleme ve hasat gibi farklı tarımsal görevlerde sağlam ve güvenilir bir navigasyon sistemine ihtiyacı bulunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, hedef noktalara doğru ve hızlı dönüş manevraları gerçekleştirmek için dijital bir pusula veya bir GPS alıcısından robot yön açısı ölçümleri, hassas tarım robotu navigasyon algoritmaları için en önemli prosedürdür. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Honeywell HMR3000 dijital pusula yardımıyla Topcon RTK GPS alıcısının yön açısı ölçüm doğruluğunu ve aynı zamanda her iki cihaz arasındaki düzeltme faktörünü belirlemektir. Bu çalışmada, robotun kuzeye göre yönünü ölçmek için Honeywell HMR3000 dijital pusula kullanılmıştır. Bu veriler, Topcon RTK GPS alıcısının rota açısı ölçümlerinin nicel korelasyonunu oluşturmak için kalibrasyon veri seti olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, Topcon RTK GPS alıcısı ile HMR3000 arasında yüksek oranda doğrusallık olmasına rağmen (R2= 0.9998), açı değerlerinin -5.87 ile +5.97 derece arasında saptığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu sonuç, GPS alıcısından elde edilen yön açısı değerlerinin hassas navigasyon uygulamaları için kullanılabilir olmadığını göstermektedir.
