Central Kalimantan achievement rate in several public health indicators is below the national achievement such as Td2+ immunization coverage (46.2%), postpartum maternity service coverage (76.75%), complete basic immunization coverage (87.3%), and prevalence of lean children (10.6%) and stunting (39%). Utilization of health services, especially posyandu, is still not optimal, which has an impact on the number of children under five suffering from malnutrition and the coverage of several posyandu activities that are still below the national achievement rate. The research design used was observational analytic using a cross-sectional approach. The subjects in this study were all mothers who came to posyandu who were selected by the total sampling technique. From the results of univariate analysis, most mothers who actively use services at posyandu are mothers who are in the age range of 20-35 years, amounting to 55%, the last high school education is as much as 40%, mothers who have toddlers and not working 85%, affordable distance 90%, and non-routine visits to posyandu 87.5%. Based on bivariate analysis, no independent variables (age, education, occupation, and distance) were found which showed the influence on the use of posyandu services.

Authors: Chowdhury Mohammad Golam Mowla , Shameem Isteaq Ahmed , Hasan Md Sajid
Published: September 2020

Objective: The objective of this article is to provide an overview of the current concepts of organ-preserving procedures for penile cancer, and describe some of their indications, results and associated complications.
Methods: An extensive search of review articles of the Pubmed literature was performed to find articles discussing only organ sparing reconstructive surgery which have contributed significantly to change traditional, frequently mutilating treatments, to develop less disfiguring surgery, and to improve patients’ quality of life over the last two decades.
Results: A large number of articles were included in this study in which a major contribution to the change in the treatment was thought to have occurred and was documented as beneficial. Some articles reported novel techniques of less-mutilating surgery involving different forms of glans reconstruction with the use of flaps or grafts. The issue of safe surgical margins was also addressed.
Conclusion: In highly selected cases of penile carcinoma, organ preserving techniques allowing phallus preservation has reduced the negative impact on functional and cosmetic outcomes of amputation without sacrificing oncological objectives based on stage, grade, and location of the tumour. Until more prospective studies are available and strong evidence is documented, organ preservation should be offered with caution.

Under local anesthesia, cystoscopic evaluation revealed right-sided efflux in 11 (23.4%), left-sided in 36 (76.6%), and no bilateral involvement was detected. 5F open-ended ureteric catheter was introduced in the ureteric orifice of affected side. Freshly prepared 10 ml of 5 % povidone iodine solution was instilled over a minute with the patient in Trendelenburg position.
Results: Total of 47 patients were enrolled (26 males and 21 females; mean age 41 years, SD 8.4, range 29–71) with a mean follow-up of 12 months. Immediate clearance was seen in all patients and recurrence in 9 (19.15 %). Overall success rate 80.85%. Mean diseasefree duration was 12 months. Three patients had moderate to severe flank pain.
Conclusion: Single dose 5 % povidone iodine sclerotherapy is a effective treatment for chyluria. As the patients discharged on the next day after procedure, it can be offered as a day care basis, so continuous ureteral and urethral catheterizations can be avoided.

Authors: Ali SM Yunus , Islam Md Saiful , Amin Mohammad Al , Choudhury Md Golam Mowla , Shamim Isteaq Ahmed
Published: September 2020

Objective- To determine the changes in free to total serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) ratio level after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) in BPH patients at different interval of time.
Materials & Methods- A total of 93 patients undergoing TURP for benign enlargement of prostate were included in the study. Serum total PSA and free PSA were assessed before operation and on the Ist and 7th postoperative day and at month 3 to determine the changes in total PSA, free PSA and free to total PSA ratio following TURP.
Result- The preoperative mean total PSA, free PSA and free to total PSA ratio were 3.5 :L 1.7 ng/ml, 0.781 0.21 ng/ml and 0.28 + 0.07. In terms of IPSS, 75(80.7%) patients had severe lower urinary tract obstruction and 18(19.3%) moderate obstruction. Histopathological examination of the resected prostatic tissue revealed that all the 93 patients had benign prostatic lesion.
Conclusion-The free and total PSA in first few days increases and thereafter it decreases in 3 months period following transurethral resection of prostate in men with BPH. As both these parameters decrease proportionately, the free to total PSA ratio remains consistent. If free to total PSA ratio decreases it raises suspicision about the early changes in malignancy.

Kidney Transplantation : Strategies for Expanding Donor Pool
Authors: Shaikh Azfar Uddin , Islam Md Waliul , Hossain Md Abul , Rahman Mohammed Mizanur , Ferdous Zannatul
Published: September 2020

Objective: To find out the appropriate strategies to increase the donor pool for kidney transplantation.
Methodology: The PubMed literature database was searched from 2015 to 20 years backward. Strategies to increase and improve live donor KT were suggested. In order to formulate some suggestions to reach that target, related experience and strategies published in journals of last 20 years both from developed and developing countries, were reviewed.
Results: Strategies to increase and improve live donor KT were suggested .Only Live donor KT can never fulfil the demand of KT. The most important step to boost up KT program is to start deceased Donor Organ Transplantation and by formulating a law and establishing infrastructure. Development of National Kidney Transplant Registry and coordination of KT at National level is also very important. Those patients who cannot afford expenditure for KT and post-transplant care, can be supported by raising fund at national and international level.
Conclusion: To increase living donor KT, techniques of increased graft survival, donor and recipient comfort, confidence and safety should be established . Inclusion of both brain death (BD) and Deceased Circulatory Death (DCD) in Deceased Donor pool will be good option for increasing donor pool.

Published: September 2020

Mesenchymal stem cells therapy opened new perspective in the management of osteoarthritis. This study focuses on a randomized controlled trial pilot on 10 patients of osteoarthritis knees to evaluate the intra-articular injections of mesenchymal stem cells could improve the symptoms, functional limitation and regeneration of cartilage. Mesenchymal stem cells were obtained from peripheral blood after mobilization of blood cell with granulocyte colony stimulating factor by apheresis machine. Single dose of mesenchymal stem cells were injected into the affected joints, WOMAC questionnaires scale used to record pre and post-treatment improvement, cartilage thickness measured by high frequency ultrasonogram. Four patients were having Grade II and six were having Grade III osteoarthritis. Kellgren-Lawrence scale was used for radiological grading. Pain score were decreased at the end of 24th weeks from 14.8 ± 2.2 to 4.1 ± 1.3, Stiffness score decreased from 5.8 ± 0.6 to 0.7 ± 0.6, Physical function limitation score reduced from 46.7 ± 6.5 to 20.3 ± 2.5. There was minor improvement of range of motion and cartilage thickness changes. This study demonstrates that mesenchymal stem cells injections improves all parameters of knee osteoarthritis and minimal regeneration of damaged cartilage.

Authors: Hasan Md. Israt , Ahmed Syed Mozaffar
Published: September 2020

This study was intended to translate and culturally adapt the  STarT back screening tool to produce an equivalent  Bangla version. Total 58 patients with low back pain completed the newly developed Bangla version of STarT back screening tool and Bangla version of Ronald Morris Disability Questionnaire seven days apart. Reliability was assessed by internal consistency (Chronbach’s alpha for overall score 0.81 and for spychosocial subscale was 0.76)  and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient for overall score was 0.78 and for spychosocial subscale was 0.71). Reliability of  Bangla version of STarT back screening tool was very good. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was carried out on the Bangla version of STarT back screening tool and Bangla version of RMDQ to assess construct validity (overall score was 0.88 and spychosocial subscale score was 0.83) which indicate a strong correlation between them. This study shows that the Bangla version of STarT back screening tool is a reliable, valid and culturally adapted responsive screening tool for the patients with low back pain.
Karl Marx’s Philosophy and Its Relevance Today
Authors: Rashid Haroon
Published: September 2020

How do we see the world? What is the way of looking at the world? In other words, how do we explain the problems of our life and the world we live in? This is what philosophy does, i.e., philosophy is a way of explaining life and the world. More precisely, philosophy is an outlook of the fundamental problems of life and the world. A philosopher starts his thinking with the exercise of rationality. He makes a rational investigation of the problems with which he is concerned. In this sense, philosophy is a rational outlook of the fundamental problems of life and the world. A philosopher is a rational and critical thinker and in this way of thinking he formulates his ideas and builds theories about life and the world. In this sense, philosophy is mainly a theoretical activity and a philosopher is concerned with conceptual or theoretical activity. This is the traditional way of defining philosophy.

Revisiting Brenda Almond’s view of Human Bonds
Authors: Pia Shamim Ara
Published: September 2020

In the prehistoric time, there was an inclination of human beings to protect their existence by living in societies. They confine themselves in the society because of having their qualities of mutual love and amity. The general tendencies of human beings are to develop bonds. These bonds happen in various ways. Society cannot survive without bonds. Bonds have significance in philosophical discussion. In the history of contemporary philosophy, applied philosophy is one of the several other aspects. Applied philosophy deals with Human rights, Euthanasia, Feminism, Abortion, Animal rights, Bonds etc. Brenda Almond, a leading figure in applied philosophy, has offered arguments in favor of her viewpoint regarding the importance of human bonds. In this paper, Almond‟s view on the nature and significance of bond has been analyzed. However, bond has also been studied from ethical perspective in this paper. And finally, it is claimed that marriage and cosmopolitanism make bonds stronger.

A Critical Study of Robert Nozick’s View on Utilitarianism
Authors: Afrin Sajia
Published: September 2020

In this paper, I will analyze and critically evaluate 20th century American philosopher Robert Nozick’s position regarding utilitarianism; how he refutes utilitarianism with reference to two new concepts called “Experience Machine” and “Utility Monster”. I will argue that if we were given the option of entering into an experience machine as Nozick presented in his book Anarchy State and Utopia, in which we can create a new better life for ourselves, then it would be irrational to refuse the option. I will then reply to Nozick’s objection regarding utilitarianism within his concept of utility monster, where he argued that accepting the theory of utilitarianism causes the necessary acceptance of a utility monster, that is, the condition that some people would use this doctrine to justify the exploitation of others. I will argue here that giving “happy units” to weak utility monsters can bring about wonderful result. All my arguments are formed within utilitarian consequentialist framework.
