Acute prolapse of giant submucosal fibroid polyp mimicking uterine inversion- A rare case report
Authors: Yaliwal Rajasri G , Bidri Shailaja R , Polisetty L P
Published: February 2022

Acute prolapse of giant submucous fibroid polyp is very rare. We share our experience of management of this case with polypectomy.

Leiomyomas are the most common benign tumors of the uterus. Some submucousal myomas become pedunculated in the uterine cavity, dilate the cervix and protrude into the vagina. Also the myomas may become necrotic, infected and gangrenous due to inadequate blood circulation through a long pedicle or if the pedicle of leiomyoma twists.

We report a case of acute prolapse of giant fibroid polyp which mimic’s uterine inversion.

Giant fibroid polyp is a rare condition, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis to mass per vaginum.

Acute prolapse of giant submucosal fibroid polyp without any associated complications can be managed by polypectomy avoiding unnecessary hysterectomy.

Published: February 2022

Leprosy is one of the oldest and chronic infectious diseases known to human being caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Leprosy has been declared eliminated (prevalence rate<1/10,000. population) as an important public health problem in our country on January 1, 2006, still cases are being reported with varying prevalence throughout many areas in India. Role of histopathological study in clinical suspicious cases are very important and definite diagnosis aids to reach confirmatory diagnosis and its subtypes, prognosis, an assessment or regression of the disease in patients. The present research was taken to evaluate the importance of skin biopsy as important diagnostic and spectrum defining tool.

To evaluate the importance of skin biopsy in detecting and diagnosing and subtyping of leprosy.

This was hospital based retrospective and prospective study of 113 clinically diagnosed cases of leprosy. Skin biopsies were received, processed and stained by H & E stain followed by Fite-faraco method to classify histopathological types of leprosy.

A total 113 cases were studied out of them 73.45% were male and 26.54% were female. Majority of them 32% belonged to 21 -30 years age group. Lepromatous leprosy was noted maximum in 35.39% cases.

Histopathology plays an important role in making definite diagnosis of leprosy.
Histomorphological spectrum of kidney lesions in nephrectomies and autopsies in a tertiary care center with an emphasis on primitive neuroectodermal tumor/ewings sarcoma
Authors: B Kruthi , K Shilpa , M Bharathi
Published: February 2022

Nephrectomy is one of the commonest surgeries done in urology for kidney lesions. Routinely, kidney specimens from autopsy are being sent to look for morphological changes occurring in both natural and unnatural deaths. Primitive neuroectodermal tumor/Ewing’s Sarcoma (PNET/ES), a member of Ewing’s sarcoma family is an aggressive tumor rarely observed in kidney principally occurs in young patients and is very rare in older patients.

Hence this study was undertaken to contemplate the histomorphological pattern of kidney lesions in nephrectomy and autopsy specimens with an accentuation on Primitive Neuroectodermal tumor in Kidney which is a rare disease.

This study was carried out in the Dept of Pathology, MMCRI, Mysore, Karnataka. All the nephrectomy and autopsy specimens received over a period of one year (June 2018 to May 2019) were included. A total of 38 cases were studied during this period.

Out of 38 cases, 29 were non-neoplastic and 9 were neoplastic lesions. Among non-neoplastic, 19 were chronic pyelonephritis and in neoplastic, renal cell carcinoma clear cell type (5 cases) was the commonest with a case of renal PNET (rPNET).

The present study provides a fair insight into the histological patterns of lesions in nephrectomy and autopsy specimen as they are liable for a great deal of morbidity and mortality. Histomorphological study of kidney lesions should be done thoroughly for early identification and prevention of progression of disease, and for prognosis and treatment.

Also features infrequent occurrence of PNET/ES of the kidney which is uncommon and is significantly rarer in older patients.
Localized gastric amyloidosis in a patient diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma- A case report and review of literature
Authors: Choudhary Shaista , C N Anushree , G Suba , Maharana Seema S , Shafiuddin Rufaida
Published: February 2022

Gastrointestinal amyloidosis (GIA), a protein deposition disorder, has numerous etiologies and manifestations and poses a significant diagnostic and treatment challenge. GIA is either acquired or genetic, and it is most commonly caused by chronic inflammatory disorders (AA amyloidosis), hematologic malignancy (AL amyloidosis), and end-stage renal disease (Beta-2 amyloidosis). In AL amyloidosis, the amyloid forming protein is derived from the light chain component of a protein in the blood called monoclonal immunoglobulin. These light chains are produced by abnormal cells (known as plasma or B cells) found in the bone marrow. AL amyloidosis can be caused by abnormal light chains produced by lymphomas or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia(CLL) in rare cases. Hodgkin lymphoma has been found to be associated with systemic amyloidosis and particularly with renal amyloidosis with an incidence of less than 1%.

Here we report a rare case of a 61-year old female patient who was previously diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma and underwent chemotherapy, now presented with anemia, dypnoea and was found to have a non healing ulcer in the body of the stomach. Histopathological examination revealed gastric amyloidosis which was confirmed with Congo red stain and apple green birefringence under polarized light.
Credence Attributes and Opportunities: Yerba Mate in Paraguay
Authors: Alwang Jeffrey , Villacis Alexis , Barrera Victor ,   IDB Invest
Published: February 2022

The value of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) exports from Paraguay has recently increased dramatically. Much of this growth is due to positioning of the good within the universe of products where consumption growth is driven by perceptions of sustainable production and health benefits to consumers--that is, credence attributes creating a new dimension of demand. Credence claims for yerba mate's benefits to indigenous producing communities, environmental sustainability under certain production processes, healthful alternatives to energy drinks, are now widely known, but the growth of this awareness came via a new entrepreneurial strategy of a single firm. This case study explores the determinants of growth of credence-based exports of yerba mate from Paraguay, potential for increased growth, and the fragility of the credence-based model.

Глазные капли
Authors: Моргоева И.А.
Published: February 2022

Глазные капли - это настоящее лекарство, как таблетки и инъекции. Это означает, что ими нужно лечить с той же осторожностью, что и другие более знакомые лекарства. Отсутствие доз, прекращение лечения или неиспользования глазных капель по указанию могут подвергнуть ваше зрение риску. Глазные капли используются при лечении многих глазных заболеваний, включая глаукому или повышенное глазное давление, конъюнктивит, воспаление глаз и заболевания сухих глаз. Они также могут быть назначены после операции на глазу, когда может возникнуть необходимость предотвратить инфекцию или уменьшить воспаление. Независимо от того, почему были назначены глазные капли, всегда должны использовать их именно так, как говорит врач. И хотя глазные капли являются наиболее распространенной формулировкой, то же самое относится и к гелям для глаз и мази.

Published: February 2022

Currently, many relevant problems about intuitive imagination literacy have been studied except the cognitive degree of pre-service high school mathematics teachers about it. To address this gap, this study investigates 51 pre-service high school mathematics teachers. Results showed that: 1. The cognitive scope of them about intuitive imagination literacy is not extensive, more than half of the content of intuitive imagination literacy is not recognized; 2. The cognition of many pre-service teachers is not deep or comprehensive and concentrates at a lower level; 3. The cognition of many pre-service teachers for many aspects of intuitive imagination literacy is not very clear. It is suggested that: 1. experts and teachers who are responsible for educating teachers should pay more attention to intuitive imagination literacy and add relevant courses; 2. pre-service high school mathematics teachers should understand the content of intuitive imagination literacy comprehensively and deeply, and clarify relevant statements.

It was shown by experiments for SAFT batteries of stationary application and medium rate of discharge, that empirical equations Korovin–Skundin’s, Peukert’s generalized equation, probability integral, porous electrode equation allow to describe the dependence capacitance C(i), given by nickel-cadmium batteries, from discharge current with the accuracy sufficient for practical needs (5–6 %) on all the range of discharge currents. Meanwhile the empirical equations of Peukert and Aguf can be used to calculate the capacitance given away only within the discharge currents, starting from the point of inflexion of experimental curve C(i) infinitely. Libenov equation, which can be used only within the range of discharge currents from the point of inflexion of experimental curve C(i) and up to the discharge currents, wherein C(i)≈ 0.05Cn, is of even bigger specialty.

Authors: Kim Younghac , Chung Man Ki , Hong Sang Duk
Published: February 2022

Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with metastasis to the cavernous sinus (CS) is uncommon, and only a few cases have been described in the literature. The highest age-adjusted incidence rate for OSCC including the tonsil in males occurs in South Asians, and more cases should be reported to establish earlier identification and treatment. We report a case of OSCC in a 59-year-old male who underwent prompt endoscopic biopsy and early palliative radiation therapy to allow complete recovery of cranial nerve palsies to improve his quality of life, despite having a poor prognosis. Furthermore, this report emphasizes his dramatic resolution of symptoms after radiation therapy, highlighting the importance of rapid recognition and proper management.

Authors: Murugeswari R. , Mynavathi V.S. , Valli C.
Published: February 2022

Background: Celosia argentea, commonly known as plumed cockscomb, is a herbaceous plant of tropical origin and has 19.78% crude protein and is equal to leguminous fodder. It is highly palatable by animals. The study was designed to find out the chemical composition of the plant at summer and monsoon season and also to conserve it as fodder block for feeding ruminants during feed shortage. Methods: Fodder block was prepared by using paddy straw (60%), Celosia argentea plant (30%), 7.5% refined wheat flour, 2% mineral mixture and 1% salt. The fodder blocks were assessed for physical, chemical and IVDMD tests. Three treatments such as paddy straw and Desmanthus fodder (T1), paddy straw and Celosia argentea fodder (T2), paddy straw and Celosia argentea block (T3) were used for palatability trial in eighteen cross bred heifers. Trial was conducted for a period of one month. Daily feed intake (kg/day), initial and final body weight was measured. Data was analysed by using SPS software. Result: Significant variations (P less than 0.01) were observed in the proximate composition of Celosia argentea fodder between monsoon and summer season. The prepared fodder blocks with Celosia argentea had bulk density of 70.15 kg/m3, relative hardness of 12.36 mm and durability of 89.22%. The chemical composition of fodder blocks (dry matter - 90.3%, crude protein - 10.28%, ether extract - 1.6%, crude fibre - 16.25%, total ash - 13.26%, nitrogen free extract - 58.35%, Ca - 1.05% and P - 0.53%) were found to lie in the normal range. The IVDMD of fodder block is 48.52%. Average daily dry matter intake of heifers fed with T3 was higher (P less than 0.01) compared to heifers fed with T1 and T2. The body weight of heifers fed with all treatments did not change during trial period. Celosia argentea can be utilized as alternate to Desmanthus fodder and can be preserved as fodder block along with paddy straw for use during fodder deficit seasons.

Authors: Achary K. Haripriya , Rath P.K. , Panda S.K. , Mishra B.P. , Jena Biswadeep , Mishra R.
Published: February 2022

Background: Pyometra is the most common genital affections observed in bitches around the globe in-spite of advancement of disease diagnosis and treatment. Paucity of available literature regarding pyometra in canines in Odisha prompted to undertake an in-depth analysis on determinants linked to epidemiology, haemato-biochemical, clinicopathological and diagnostic imaging in pyometra bitches. Methods: During the period 2019-20, a total of 148 bitches were screened for canine pyometra in and around Bhubaneswar, Odisha on the basis of clinical signs, haematology and diagnostic imaging. Uterus was collected after ovario-hysterectomy and processed for histopathology through routine haematoxylin and eosin staining. Result: The overall incidence of pyometra was 15.54% with 4% mortality rate. Present study recorded a significant higher occurrence of pyometra in older bitches ( greater than 7 year, 78.26%), smaller breeds like Spitz (47.82%), nulliparous bitches (60.86%) and dogs in dioestrus stage (82.60%). Haematological examinations revealed anaemia with marked leucocytosis and neutrophilia. There was significant increase in AST, ALT, ALP and BUN concentrations in affected bitches. Enlarged uterus with hypo echoic tubular structures containing mostly echogenic fluids were constant findings through ultrasonography. Flabby uterine horns with thick and corrugated endometrial wall containing profuse mucopurulent exudates were seen during necropsy. Chronic inflammatory response leading to intense haemorrhages and hyperaemia were constant microscopic changes. The most common isolated pathogen in canine pyometra was Escherechia coli (67.5%).

Published: February 2022

Background: Garlic is considered a natural growth promoter in animals, but the effects on the productive performance of broilers are variable. Therefore, the impact on growth performance and intestinal morphometry were evaluated to know the impact of using different levels of purple garlic in the broilers' diet.
Methods: Clinically healthy 1-day-old Cobb Vantress 500 broilers (n=98, with an equal number of two sex) were randomized into four dietary treatment groups. The birds of the T0 group were fed with a conventional diet, while the T1, T2 and T3 groups were fed with diets supplemented with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% of purple garlic.
Result: The body weight gain (BWG) of the fattening female birds did not differ significantly (P less than 0.05) compared to the control. The BWG and the total benefit at T2 and T3 were considerably higher in males at 40 days. The duodenum showed that the values of the mean height of the villi were significantly (P less than 0.05) lower in T1 and T2 than in the other treatments. Purple garlic has a significant effect as a growth promoter in male broilers, supplemented at a higher rate of supplementation, i.e., 0.2 and 0.3% levels.

Exposures to Potentially Psychologically Traumatic Events Among Provincial Correctional Workers in Ontario, Canada
Authors: Ricciardelli Rosemary , Tamara Taillieu , Mitchell Meghan M. , Groll Dianne , Afifi Tracie , Nicholas Carleton R.
Published: February 2022

We know little about potentially psychologically traumatic events (PPTE) exposures among provincial correctional workers in diverse occupational positions and even less regarding how exposure to events are associated with mental health disorders. We designed the current study to unpack and quantify estimates of the frequencies that correctional workers, across occupational roles, experience exposure to diverse incidents. We categorized 1,338 of our 1,487 participants into six occupational categories and our measures included established self-report items measuring PPTE exposure and mental disorder symptoms. Almost all correctional workers reported exposures to most PPTE types. Correctional workers collectively report exposures to physical assault (90.2%) and sudden violent death (81.8%), with many (3.1%–46%) reporting 11+ exposures (M = 10.01, SD = 4.29). We found significant differences in exposure patterns across correctional worker categories; specifically, we found a higher prevalence of exposure to toxic substances, physical assault, assault with a weapon, severe human suffering, sudden accidental or sudden violent death, among those working in institutional correctional services (e.g., governance, correctional officers). PPTE exposure and all assessed mental health disorder symptom profiles were closely related, as correctional workers report high exposure to PPTE. Population attributable fractions indicated that the burden of mental disorders among provincial correction workers might be reduced by between 38%–70% if PPTE exposures were eliminated from the population. We conclude with recommendations for mental health related policies, such as investing in peer and psychologically support, as well as interventions for exposure to PPTE and readiness to inform strategies for employee mental health and well-being.

Published: February 2022

This study examined the interrelationship of intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual assault (SA), and eating disorder (ED) symptomatology among a sample of college students (n = 1,580). Students reporting a history of SA were 2.5 times more likely to screen positively for further ED assessment. A history of IPV also increased odds of having a positive ED screener. The model showed that 6% of the variance in ED symptomatology was explained by IPV and SA. Results did not differ based on gender. This study furthers our understanding of the relationship between IPV, SA, and ED to guide future prevention and treatment efforts. Specifically, the use of trauma-informed ED treatment could assist with full ED recovery and other comorbid mental health conditions.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of job demands and job resources on organizational commitment, as well as the mediating effect of work engagement, in the context of Indonesian state-owned enterprises. Data were gathered using a questionnaire from 115 employees of a state-owned enterprise. Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was performed to analyze data. Results of data analysis indicate the negative influence of job demands and positive influence of job resources on organizational commitment. Also, work engagement mediates the effect of job demands and job resources on organizational commitment. The results of this study give a contribution to both theoretical and practical viewpoints. At the theoretical level, this study contributes to the literature on organizational commitment theory and the JD-R model. From the practical viewpoint, the study findings offer insight for Indonesian state-owned enterprises management to enhance employees’ organizational commitment by considering job demands, job resources, and work engagement of employees.
The prediction of financial distress probability in East Java province governments
Authors: Shiddiqy Rizky Aji , Nurkholis  , Prihatiningtias Yeney Widya
Published: February 2022

Beginning in the mid-1970s, financial distress in local governments became big news when New York City nearly collapsed due to the energy crisis and high inflation. When local governments experience financial distress, the responsibility to provide services to the community both now and in the future cannot be fulfilled. Local governments can only maintain services to the community if they are able to avoid financial distress. If the financial distress condition is maintained, there will be a stagnation in the level of community welfare which will have an impact on regional economic growth because it is not supported by adequate public services. Some local governments like Pennsylvania, have implemented a measure to indicate financial distress as stipulated in the 1987 Financially Distressed City Act (UU 47). However, the local government in Indonesia does not yet have an absolute measure for this financial distress condition. For this reason, financial distress in this study will use a relative measure indicated by the probability value measured using a defined approach. The results of the study provide an overview of how the relevant values in local government financial statements are able to predict financial distress in local governments. The findings show that the variables intergovernmental revenue (IGR), financial independence (FIND), employee expenditure (EMPEX), capital expenditure (CAPEX), and operating position (OPPOS) have a significant effect and can be used as an alternative predictor of financial distress with more comprehensive suitability with the financial characteristics of local government in East Java Province.

The goal of this research is to explore all regulations nationally and internationally regarding nuclear activity especially about NPP, and whether these regulations can protect humans and the environment in Indonesia. From the law perspective, Indonesia has Law Number 10 the Year 1997 on Nuclear Energy, Government Regulation (GR) Number 54 the Year 2012 on Safety and Security of Nuclear Installations, and GR Number 2 the Year 2014 on the Licensing of Nuclear Installations and Use of Nuclear Materials.

As a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Indonesia has to follow IAEA rules and standards to protect humans and the environment from nuclear activity. The conclusion is that from a law perspective, it is safe to build NPP since these regulations are enough to protect the society and the environment of Indonesia.
