Authors: Jayakumar Sivasankar , Patwardhan Nitin
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND: Pneumoperitoneum on radiological imaging is typical in intestinal perforation in necrotizing enterocolitis [NEC]. However, it is not seen in all cases and intestinal perforation is missed on occasions. We present a series of preterm infants with characteristic x-ray findings that on exploration revealed missed intestinal perforation.METHODS: Retrospective review of neonates with intra-operative diagnosis of intestinal perforation which was missed on x-ray abdomen over a period of 6 months is being presented here.RESULTS: Three neonates born at 24 (24-30) weeks of gestation were identified. PDA was noted in all 3 patients and they required ventilator and inotropic support. Feeds were commenced at 5 (2-7) days of life. All three patients were treated for NEC. Surgical opinion was sought in view of localized gas shadow in a fixed position seen on repeated x-rays in all three patients. All three patients had laparotomy and small bowel resection with ileostomy formation at a mean age of 26 (24-46) days. Intra-operatively, small bowel perforation and adjacent pseudocysts filled with air and intestinal contents were noted in all 3 patients. Post-operatively full feeds were established in all patients.CONCLUSION: In premature infants with NEC, intestinal perforation can be missed on occasions. Our patients interestingly, developed characteristic abdominal x-ray findings that in our experience should prompt for surgical intervention.

Abstract
Implantology is one of the most investigated topic in modern dentistry, This review is aimed to systematically summarize all the industrial, mass production and experimental trends in dental implant manufacture relative primarily to their surface modification over the last year.
Research was conducted in Army Medical college, NUMS, Rawalpindi, Armed forces institute of dentistry, CMH, Rawalpindi, Foundation University college of Dentistry, FFH, DHA, Islamabad and the HEC Library, HEC, Islamabad.
Literature was searched on PubMed, SCOPUS, MEDLINE, Cochrane and Science direct. The key words employed were “dental Implants”, “surface modification”, “surface morphology”, “surface treatment” and “surface augmentation”. A total of 38 articles were short listed and reviewed in detail.
There is abundant evidence suggesting the importance of these surface modification on improving the implant success. Several strategies have been suggested to modify the implant surface topography as well as surface chemistry in order to achieve a micro-porous structure with nano scale architecture, with increased bio activity; hydrophilicity and anti-bacterial properties. There is commendable success with many of these strategies in the lab. However, following the lab success in ex vivo studies, very few of these surface modalities have found their way to clinical set-ups.

Diagnostic value of synovial fluid adenosine deaminase level in tuberculous arthritis
Authors: Kyung Mok Sohn
Published: February 2021

Although body fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) level is useful for diagnosing tuberculosis but little is known about joint fluid ADA level in tuberculous (TB) arthritis. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of synovial fluid ADA (SF-ADA) in TB arthritis. Of 43 patients enrolled, nine had confirmed TB arthritis. Fourteen had non-TB septic arthritis, and 20 patients had non-infectious etiologies. The SF-ADA levels were significantly elevated in patients with TB arthritis compared to those with non-infectious origin (P <0.05). All SF-ADA levels were ?76 U/L in TB arthritis and ? 60 U/L in non-infectious synovial fluid. The ADA was not different between TB arthritis and non-TB septic arthritis (P = 0.87). The possibility of identifying synovial fluid with an ADA under 60-76 U/L of tuberculous etiology may be very low. In addition, an SF-ADA ?76 U/L with negative ordinary bacterial culture results is highly suspicious for TB arthritis.

Success factors at university from students’ perspective
Authors: Saud Wafa Ismail
Published: February 2021

The aim of the present qualitative study was to explore the factors that support or hinder students from achieving their goals while they are at university. The participants were 84 undergraduates majoring in English at King Khalid University. Constructed interviews with students were used for eliciting information. The data were analysed stating and combining the similar factors and calculating their frequencies and percentages. The findings indicated that external support from family, friends and society was the main factor for students’ success followed by determination and persistence, ambition, hard work and patience. On the other hand, discouragement was the main factor that hinders students’ success, followed by irresponsibility, carelessness and laziness, then by poor time management and finally, failure and frustration. Implications for English language professionals and areas for further research were suggested.

Authors: Lucky Tijani Abdulsalami , Matthew Ihaza Ivongbe
Published: February 2021

This project research titled “Information on budgetary allocation in Federal University Library, Lafia (FUL Lafia)” was undertaken to ascertain the level of budgetary allocation and implementation in aiding library services in the institution. The methodology used in the study was the survey which adopted the descriptive sampling of 20 library staffs sampled for the study. The Questionnaire was constructed where each of the items in the questionnaire was grouped in accordance with their relationship to the research questions and analyzed using frequency distribution tables. The findings revealed that the extent of use of these budgetary systems in FUL Lafia is very high as library operations depends highly on proper budgetary allocation. As revealed by the respondents, the budgetary allocation for FUL is adequate. Also it was found that the major challenge being faced in FUL is improper budgetary allocation of funds. The study concludes that practical application of budgeted funds through proper budgetary allocation and implementation will go a long way in providing and equipping students with basic knowledge and competencies necessary for improved academic performance. Subsequently, the study recommends that the budgetary systems and processes being employed by the university authorities should be reviewed and improved upon so as to checkmate excesses and budget padding. In view of the challenges encountered in the budgetary allocation, it is recommended that qualified librarian, auditors and account experts be employed and the necessary tools needed for proper budgetary allocation be made available to them so as to curtail these challenges.

Efficacy of Ayurveda Interventions in Parkinson's Disease
Authors: E Remya , Maneeri Akashlal , Nair Parvathy G , Pratap Shankar KM
Published: February 2021

Introduction:

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common form of a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders characterized by motor, autonomic, and cognitive disturbances. The prevalence of PD is increasing with age and it affects 1% of the population above 60 years. In light of the demand for alternative measures to control PD, a systematic review is being planned to generate evidence for the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety profile of Ayurvedic interventions in the management of PD.

Objectives:

The primary objective of the present study is the systematic review of published clinical data in view of the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of Ayurvedic interventions in the management of PD.

Materials and methods:

Electronic searches from various online databases and clinical trial registries will be done. A manual search for gray literature will also be done from various sources, e.g., printed journals, conference proceedings, colleges, university libraries, etc. Studies published in the English and Hindi language till March 2019 will be sought. Types of study include randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasiexperimental trials, single group clinical trials, comparative clinical trials (CCTs), pragmatic trials, and review papers on Ayurvedic management of PD or Kampavata. Three investigators shall independently screen all citations and abstracts identified by a primary comprehensive search to sort out potentially eligible trials and eligible trials will be independently evaluated for inclusion in the review based on the inclusion criteria. Data extraction forms for individual study including methods, participants, intervention, comparator, and the outcome shall be prepared. Each of the included trials will be assessed for risk of bias. Primary data analysis will be done for both qualitative and quantitative data. Heterogeneity among trials will be assessed by inspecting forest plots. If heterogeneity is detected, and it is still considered clinically meaningful to combine studies, a random-effects model will be used. A sensitivity analysis, to investigate the robustness of the results to the quality components will be done, provided there are sufficient trials. A funnel plot will be utilized to indicate publication bias, heterogeneity of results, or differences in the methodological quality.

Dissemination:

The systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. It will also be disseminated electronically and via print. The review may guide healthcare practices and policy-framing in the treatment of PD with Ayurvedic interventions.

Trial registration number:

Background:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common forms of arthritis which is caused by the degeneration of joint cartilage. It is often associated with disability and leads to impairment of quality of life. The clinical picture is similar to the disease Sandhigatavata described in Ayurveda (one among the Vatavyadhi) and is characterized by symptoms such as Sandhi Shoola (joint pain), Sandhishopha (swelling of joint), and Prasarana-Akunchana-Ashakti (difficulty in movements of the joint). The safety of 10 Ayurvedic classical formulations most commonly used in OA was clinically evaluated and the findings are provided in this article.

Aim and objective:

Critical analysis of clinical safety outcomes of classical Ayurvedic formulations, viz. Vatari Guggulu, Yogaraj Guggulu, Punarnava Guggulu, Maharasnadi Kwatha, Dashmoola Ghrita, Narayan Taila, Kottamchukkadi Taila, Gandharvahasta Taila, Dhanwantara Taila, and Ksheerbala Taila in patients of OA, generated through studies at different Institutes of Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS).

Materials and methods:

Data collected from four different clinical studies completed in multiple centers of CCRAS were retrospectively evaluated to assess the safety profile of 10 formulations that are commonly used in OA. Evaluation of safety was done by analyzing liver function tests (LFT) and renal function tests (RFT) before and after the trial period. Paired sample t-test was used to compare mean change from baseline to the 84th day. A p value of <0.05 was considered significant.

Conclusion:

The findings in four different clinical studies reveal that all ten formulations are clinically safe in patients belonging to various age groups, gender, geographical area, and Prakriti.

Blood transfusion preparedness for mass casualty incidents: Are we truly ready?
Authors: Stubbs, MD James R. , Jenkins, MD Donald H.
Published: February 2021

Mass casualty incidents (MCI) are high profile contributors to the number of annual trauma-related deaths in the United States. A critical aspect of MCI care is the ability to provide blood components in sufficient types and quantities to prevent deaths due to hemorrhage. For transfusions to play an optimal role in the prevention of trauma-related hemorrhagic death, including MCI, there appears to be a very tight time window after injury to initiate transfusion therapy. In order to meet this tight window, blood components of appropriate numbers and quantities must be immediately available. Currently, it is questionable whether standing blood inventories at US healthcare facilities are sufficient to appropriately meet the transfusion needs of a surge of MCI victims. Previous models of blood supply adequacy have focused on the availability of red blood cells, and the ability to move blood components quickly from blood suppliers to impacted healthcare facilities. These models have not considered the adequacy of other critically necessary blood components, such as platelets. A recent simulation of blood product demand after MCI showed that, in order to meet the defined RBC needs of 100 percent of casualties, a hospital would need 13-14 units in inventory per casualty. This simulation did not evaluate requirements for platelets and plasma, which would likely be extensive. Meeting balanced resuscitation demands in the timeframe necessary to minimize the number of preventable hemorrhagic deaths is probably not realistically achievable for most healthcare facilities in the United States. Alternative approaches to treat hemorrhage are likely necessary to solve this problem.
The Visigoths in Hispania
Authors: Arce Javier
Published: February 2021

This chapter tries to answer a series of questions about the first arrival
of the Goths in Spain: the date and means of their arrival, their numbers,
the exact identity of those entering the peninsula, where they settled, and
how. Concerning the problem of who the people entering the peninsula
were, the question is whether we can truly call them ‘Goths’. After considering
the history of the Gothic people before their arrival in Aquitania
and after they remained for more than a hundred years, I conclude that
they were a mixture of peoples that represented a poly-ethnic group, a
group clearly not made up exclusively of Goths, and perhaps including
only very few.
Beyond Central and Local Powers
Authors: Pachá Paulo
Published: February 2021

The problem of political integration is one of the most pressing questions
of the history of the Visigothic kingdom of Toledo. Historians have
traditionally framed it as a structural opposition between the monarchy
and the nobility; in the last decade, however, some authors have begun to
conceptualize it as an array of more complex dynamics between central
and local powers. In this contribution, I will argue that we must go beyond
the concepts of central and local powers and focus on their power relations
– their integration. To achieve this objective, I will analyse how
these relationships developed in the context of the general councils of
the Visigothic church, an institution that had a central and determinant
place in the process of political integration.
How to Stay Gothic without a Gothic King
Authors: Wolfram Herwig
Published: February 2021

Although kingship was vital for a barbarian society to survive on Roman
soil, it wasn’t a uniform or even monarchic institution. Different types
of kingly figures fulfilled functions, mainly military. The third-century
author Dexippos remarked that the leading strata of barbarian societies
did not lag behind kings in respect to dignity and fortune (týche). However,
popular literature argues that commonness was what guaranteed the
existence of Gothic identity, although without their own kings the Goths
and their traditions would have disappeared long ago.
Recopolis
Authors: Olmo Enciso Lauro
Published: February 2021

The foundation of the city of Recopolis on the initiative of King Liuvigild
in ad 578 is the clearest material expression of the participation of the
Visigothic state in urban development and in the creation of power
landscapes. The ex novo construction of the city – city walls, palatial
complex, elite houses, commercial and industrial buildings, hierarchical
organization of space – and its impact on the wider territory, with the
reorganization and renovation of the road network and creation of new
rural settlements, was a clear demonstration of political prowess and
an expression of the tax-collecting power of the state. Contextualizing
these features within the broader landscape helps in understanding the
spatial and social inequality that characterized the beginning of the
early medieval period.
Figura et potentia
Authors: Pliego Ruth
Published: February 2021

The coins issued by the Germanic peoples during late antiquity and the
early Middle Ages initially shared an iconographic repertoire, borrowed
from imperial Rome. The evolution these coins underwent, however,
reveals characteristic features that served as the basis of the coinage of the
later Germanic kingdoms, and then of the medieval states that followed.
This work analyses their prominent aspects as symbols of authority and
power, such as typology – including references to historical events – the
degree of romanitas claimed by each of these peoples, and religious
distinctions, as well as the extent to which these features responded to

Authors: Barroso Cabrera Rafael
Published: February 2021

This chapter analyses the alliance between political power and the ecclesiastical
hierarchy of Toledo during the reign of Theudis (531–548), within the
general context of the settlement of the Visigoths in the Meseta (‘Plateau’)
of the Iberian Peninsula. The consequences that this collaboration had
on the promotion of Toledo from a simple diocese to the metropolitan see
of the Carthaginiensis province, and subsequently primacy of Spain, are
seen through the specific case of the creation of the diocese of Segovia.
When Does Talk Become Costly?
Authors: Poh Angela
Published: February 2021

Chapter 3 provides the theoretical framework for the central argument of
this book—that China’s sanctions rhetoric has had a palpable impact on
its behaviour. It shows how the fear of incurring ‘international audience
costs’ drives certain aspects of states’ foreign policy behaviour. It discusses
the conditions that need to be in place for the international audience cost
theory to work—i.e. the offending state needs to care about international
opinion, and a rhetorical actor must be present to draw attention to the
differences between an offending state’s rhetoric and behaviour. It then
applies this theoretical framework to China and examines why and how
international audience costs is a crucial mechanism that provides the
link between China’s sanctions rhetoric and its behaviour.
Stigmatising Sanctions and China’s Counter-Stigmatisation
Authors: Poh Angela
Published: February 2021

Chapter 4 explains the Chinese leadership’s impetus in using its sanctions
rhetoric and elaborates on the substance of such rhetoric. It suggests that
China’s experience of being a target of Western sanctions since its establishment
in 1949 had convinced its leaders that ‘the West’ was determined to
stigmatise China through various forms of economic punishment, with the ultimate
goal of undermining the Chinese government’s political legitimacy. The
Chinese political elite therefore engaged in a rhetorical counter-stigmatisation
strategy that sought to delegitimise the sanctions strategy of the US and its
allies by depicting them as imperialist and interventionist. China also sought
to gradually redefine, in the understanding of United Nations Member States,
the notion of when and how sanctions could legitimately be employed.
Maasai Online Petitions
Authors: Hahn Allison Hailey
Published: February 2021

In the East African nations of Kenya and Tanzania, the Maasai have used Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to build networks of international supporters and then use those new networks to put pressure on their national governments to change land policy. This chapter examines the ways that the Maasai joined with Avaaz, an online activist network that provides organizing tools, to raise awareness of the Maasai’s problems and gather 2.25 million signatures opposing the eviction of Maasai herders from their traditional lands. Through examination of the Avaaz petition, this chapter finds that Maasai communities have formed an international network that successfully pressured the Tanzanian government to revise its policy of evictions in the name of tourism and conservation.
Inner Mongolian Online Identity
Authors: Hahn Allison Hailey
Published: February 2021

In the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region (IMAR) of China, herders and settled youth from herding communities are utilizing online message boards to build new communities, network across international borders, and negotiate what it means to be from a herding community in modern-day China. This chapter examines the ways that local and international supporters recorded and debated about a 2012 road protest during which a herder was run over and dragged to his death by a mining truck. Focusing on the use of ICTs by rural citizens, this chapter finds that herders were able to publish their own narratives in real time, often challenging narratives presented by the state. Additionally, through these narratives, youth in IMAR identified with and expressed a herding tradition and identity, even while living largely settled lives.
Standing Rock Unites International Protesters
Authors: Hahn Allison Hailey
Published: February 2021

This chapter examines the involvement of youth members of the Lakota Sioux’s organization and promotion of the Standing Rock protest of 2017 through new and social media. This protest against the expansion of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) brought together many Native American communities as well as their supporters from within the United States and around the world. This chapter focuses on the ways that international herding communities, including representatives of Sámi and Bedouin communities, joined and supported the Standing Rock protests. It also examines activities prompted by herding activists who took part in the DAPL protests.
Hostis Humanis Generis
Authors: Noor Farish A.
Published: February 2021

The so-called ‘war on piracy’ that was waged along the northern coast of
Borneo from the late 1830s to the 1840s was justified in terms of a naval
security operation, intended to guarantee freedom of navigation and free
trade. In the course of this campaign, the Dayaks of Sarawak were brought into
the narrative and cast as a warlike race, who were thought to be susceptible
to the manipulation of Malay and Arab pirate lords. This chapter looks at how
the Dayaks of Borneo were framed in debilitating terms, as a race that was
inherently violent and yet could be saved by Western colonial intervention.
The result of this was the discursive construction of the Dayak as the embodiment
of primitive violence, at a time when scientific racism was the norm.
‘Sly Civility’ and the Myth of the ‘Lazy Malay’
Authors: Naidu Netusha
Published: February 2021

Pahang is a Malay state with a political system that was continuously
strained by conflict between territorial chiefs. The growing presence
of the British led to repeated disagreements over concession payments,
the size of the sultan’s allowance and the presence of European revenue
collectors, leading to the eventual outbreak of the Pahang Civil War of
1891-1895. This chapter examines how discursive practices during the war
were developed to serve the interests of British colonial power. Through
an analysis of imperial administrative writing, newspaper reports and
secondary sources, two themes emerge: the production of knowledge about
race and racial differences and the instances of slippage that dislodged
and challenged the image of Malays as the indolent Other.
From Everyday Life to the Crisis Ordinary : Films of Ordinary Life and the Resonance of DEFA
Authors: Baer Hester
Published: February 2021

This chapter examines Wolf’s Solo Sunny (1980) and Dresen’s Summer in
Berlin (2005), two films that chart the transformation of ordinary life across
the period of neoliberal intensification in eastern Germany. Emphasizing
the transition away from—as well as the enduring influence of—DEFA
and socialist realism, this chapter also attends to the affective dimensions
of the neoliberal turn by focusing on women characters who figure as
seismographs of political and cultural re-orientation. This chapter and
the next chapter operate in tandem to analyse films that break with
conventional forms of representation to signal disaffection with prevailing
circumstances. I argue that this disaffection becomes retrospectively
legible in the earlier films through the pointed critique of neoliberalism
developed by their later intertexts.
The Failing Family : Changing Constellations of Gender, Intimacy, and Genre
Authors: Baer Hester
Published: February 2021

This chapter examines a boundary-crossing archive of popular and
countercinematic West, East, and post-unification German films that
all focus on precarious intimacies: Dörrie’s Men (1985); Wortmann’s
Maybe…Maybe Not (1994); Carow’s Coming Out (1989); and Grisebach’s
Longing (2006). Shifting focus onto a consideration of men and masculinity
in the postfeminist era, I analyze how these films subject the
heteropatriarchal family to scrutiny, often exploring homosocial bonds
and queer relations. In addition to investigating the precaritization
of gender, sexuality, and intimacy pictured by these four films, this
chapter sheds new light on the much vaunted “return to genre” in the
German cinema of neoliberalism.
Le numérique dans la formation des enseignant-es et du personnel d’encadrement en Afrique
Authors: Laroussi Mona
Published: February 2021

Afin de garantir une éducation de qualité, la plupart des pays africains travaillent à renforcer les compétences professionnelles des enseignant-es et personnels d’encadrement. Cela passe entre autres par l’amélioration des méthodes d’enseignement (en/du français dans le respect des langues nationales, des sciences, de la citoyenneté) à la faveur de pratiques innovantes et de nouveaux outils didactiques. Le numérique présente le potentiel qui doit permettre de passer d’une innovation technologique à une innovation pédagogique. Réinventer la formation, c’est une équation qui ne peut être résolue qu’en prenant en compte les contraintes liées aux contextes des apprenant-es et des pays, la massification, l’omniprésence du numérique, les acteurs/trices impliqué-es et les changements dans les rapports aux savoirs. Une des voies pour trouver une solution satisfaisante est d’accepter de faire de l’acte pédagogique une œuvre « ouverte ». Ce modèle impose de repenser la place et le rôle des acteurs et actrices de façon qu’elles/ils puissent faire s’interpénétrer leurs travaux, évoluer et opérer une fertilisation croisée.

El Síndrome de Down está asociado a varias formas de distiroidismo, el hipotiroidismo es la más común en esta población. La alteración en la función tiroidea puede aumentar la morbilidad de este síndrome, disminuyendo la calidad y expectativa de vida en estos pacientes.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir el estado de la función tiroidea en pacientes con Síndrome de Down de la fundación Aywiña y la Fundación Down Bolivia, del departamento de La Paz, mediante la determinación de pruebas bioquímicas del eje tiroideo. El grupo de estudio estuvo comprendido por 30 individuos, 19 del sexo masculino y 11 del sexo femenino.

Los resultados muestran un 50% de distiroidismo y la población con mayor incidencia de alteración tiroidea fueron los menores a 13 años. La principal patología fue el hipotiroidismo subclínico (24%), seguido del hipotiroi­dismo subclínico autoinmune. Cabe resaltar que se observó un porcentaje elevado de hipertiroidismo (13%), que es superior a lo reportado por otros autores. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre sexos.

La elevada incidencia de distiroidismo hallada, sugiere que la población con Síndrome de Down del departamento de La Paz, es vulnerable a este tipo de trastornos, confirmando lo reportado en otras poblaciones.

Debido a que la presencia de enfermedades tiroidea aumenta las complicaciones de este síndrome, es importan­te realizar controles anuales que evalúen la función tiroidea y se plantea la necesidad de contar con rangos de referencia para las pruebas bioquímicas del eje tiroideo en la población con Síndrome de Down de nuestro país.

Published: February 2021

El incremento del factor de crecimiento vascular endotelial (VEGF) en procesos degenerativos, obstructivos e incluso neoplásicos promueve la formación de nuevos vasos sanguíneos aberrantes y perjudiciales para la agudeza visual, En los últimos años, la creación de fármacos antiangiogénicos (anti-VEGF) y su uso intravítreo han revolucionado la terapéutica de las enfermedades neovasculares de la retina incrementando la calidad de vida de las personas que la padecen. El siguiente artículo de revisión narrativa busca analizar la seguridad, eficacia, posología, vía de administración y esquemas internacionales de tratamiento anti-VEGF en la Degeneración Macular Asociada a la Edad (DMAE) Exudativa, Edema Macular Diabético (EMA), Oclusión de la Vena Central de la Retina (OVCR), Oclusión de Rama Venosa de la Retina (ORVR) y en el Retinoblastoma. En la actualidad, el uso de fármacos anti-VEGF representa una elección segura y eficaz en el tratamiento de patologías neovasculares de retina.
