Cross-sectional study of cognitive function in women with a history of eating disorders in the UK Biobank cohort
Authors: Bracho Maria , Cullen Breda
Published: January 2020

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the cognitive functions of women who reported a history of eating disorders (ED) with women who did not report any such history. Within the group of women who reported a history of ED, it aimed to compare the cognitive functions of those who met anorexia nervosa body mass index (BMI) criteria at the time of assessment with those who did not meet such criteria. Method: The sample in this observational cross-sectional study belonged to the UK Biobank cohort, and consisted of 260,601 women in middle to older age, of whom 347 had a lifetime history of ED. Participants underwent sociodemographic, medical and psychological evaluation, and were assessed with four computerized cognitive tasks. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to take account of covariates. Results: Slower reaction time was found in those with an ED history: differences of small effect size were found across different levels of model adjustment (d=-.096 [95% CI -.201, .009] to -.150 [95% CI -.249, -.052]). Reasoning, visuospatial memory and prospective memory were not significantly different between those with and without a history of ED. A consistent pattern of results was not found when comparing the sub-sample of participants with ED split according to current BMI criteria. Discussion: The findings suggest that an ED history may correlate with slower processing speed in middle to older age, but this may be partly accounted for by clinical covariates. Further research in population-representative cohorts is required.
On the Equivalency of Factor and Network Loadings
Authors: Christensen Alexander P. , Golino Hudson
Published: January 2020

Recent research has demonstrated that the network measure node strength or sum of a node’s connections is roughly equivalent to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) loadings. A key finding of this research is that node strength represents a combination of different latent causes. In the present research, we sought to circumvent this issue by formulating a network equivalent of factor loadings, which we call network loadings. In two simulations, we evaluated whether these network loadings could effectively (1) separate the effects of multiple latent causes and (2) estimate the simulated factor loading matrix of factor models. Our findings suggest that the network loadings can effectively do both. In addition, we leveraged the second simulation to derive effect size guidelines for network loadings. In a third simulation, we evaluated the similarities and differences between factor and network loadings when the data were generated from random, factor, and network models. We found sufficient differences between the loadings, which allowed us to develop an algorithm to predict the data generating model called the Loadings Comparison Test (LCT). The LCT had high sensitivity and specificity when predicting the data generating model. In sum, our results suggest that network loadings can provide similar information to factor loadings when the data are generated from a factor model and therefore can be used in a similar way (e.g., item selection, measurement invariance, factor scores).
The Ambivalence of Cultural Homophily: Field Positions, Semantic Similarities, and Social Network Ties in Creative Collectives
Authors: Basov Nikita
Published: January 2020

This paper utilizes a mixture of qualitative, formal, and statistical socio-semantic network analyses to examine how cultural homophily works when field logic meets practice. On the one hand, because individuals in similar field positions are also imposed with similar cultural orientations, cultural homophily reproduces ‘objective’ field structure in intersubjective social network ties. On the other hand, fields are operative in practice and to accomplish pragmatic goals individuals who occupy different field positions often join in groups, creatively reinterpret the field-imposed cultural orientations, and produce cultural similarities alternative to the position-specific ones. Drawing on these emergent similarities, the cultural homophily mechanism might stimulate social network ties between members who occupy not the same but different field positions, thus contesting fields. I examine this ambivalent role of cultural homophily in two creative collectives, each embracing members positioned closer to the opposite poles of the field of cultural production. I find different types of cultural similarities to affect different types of social network ties within and between the field positions: Similarity of vocabularies stimulates friendship and collaboration ties within positions, thus reproducing the field, while affiliation with the same cultural structures stimulates collaboration ties between positions, thus contesting the field. The latter effect is visible under statistical analysis of ethnographic data, but easy to oversee in qualitative analysis of texts because informants tend to flag conformity to their positions in their explicit statements. This highlights the importance of mixed socio-semantic network analysis, both sensitive to the local context and capable of unveiling the mechanisms underlying the interplay between the cultural and the social.
Potential of Ayurvedic Drugs in Differentiating Neuronal Stem Cells from Human Breast Milk: A Review
Authors: Kumari Rinki
Published: January 2020

Recently, Stem cell therapy has revolutionized excellent clinical therapy with the potential of stem cells to differentiate into various cell types and it may help to replace different cell lines of an organism. Frequent, clinical trials are carried out to merge the new scientific stem cell information and techniques with traditional knowledge and plant extracts that may result in less toxic, affordable, and highly available natural alternative therapeutics. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine has given great emphasis to the promotion of health. Ayurveda therapies are based on the restoration of body balance and nourishment of dhatus. Rasayana concept of Ayurveda explains tissue regeneration and cell renewal. Rasayana drugs and therapies provide research opportunities for the biology of regeneration. Specific Medhya Rasayana stimulates and nourishes respective Medha (Dhi, Driti, and Smriti) dhatus. Interpretation of this description offers clues for specific differentiation of neuronal stem cells from human breast milk (HBM) in the presence of some herbal extracts. The previous studies suggest that neuronal stem cells differentiate from Human Breast Milk (Human mesenchymal stem cell) more effectively with Madhya Rasayana drugs.

The present review highlights the potential of Ayurveda and its possible contributions in regenerative medicine.

Published: January 2020

Abbasid dynasty is one dynasty that has a high civilization in the field of knowledge, of course this is inseparable from the efforts made by the caliph Harun Ar-Rasyid and Al-Ma'mun to translate the works that civilizations want to watch in the field of science, with the help of translators who have capabilities in foreign mastery languages. About the purpose of this article is to map the names of figures who had a major contribution to the development of science during the Abbasid Dynasty. By using the theory made as a knife of analysis in this study, the reasons for policies are decisions taken by people who have a budget to set a matter in accordance with the desired goals. While for this researcher will use the method of library analysis from various sources related to the history of Islamic civilization, both from books, research journals and related literature, to then be mixed and analyzed, conclusions are also obtained. Thus the results of this study indicate that the movement of translators of knowledge books does have an interesting interest for translators who come from outside the city of Baghdad also outside of Islam, to come translating special books, in order with the rewards and awards given by the caliph out of proportion to their hard work.
Chemokines are Underestimated in Preventing the Metastasizing and The Immune Elimination of Ovarian Cancer
Authors: Torensma Ruurd , L.M.Zusterzeel Petra , Torensma Ruurd
Published: January 2020

Nowadays the positive immune involvement in the eradication of tumor cells is assigned to the adaptive
immune response. By awakening of in vivo responding T cells that are suppressed by the tumor and prevents
immunological cure of the cancer. Normally activated T cells are well-ordered by several late occurring
inhibitors to contain the response to the unknown invaders and spare the normal cells. The tumor strengthens
this inhibitory response to escape from immune elimination. Immunotherapy is to unleash the full capacity
of the adaptive immune system by blocking this inhibitor response by monoclonal antibodies but with the
potential drawback of autoimmune phenomena. Cytokines and chemokines became in oblivion after their
suspected necrosis of the tumor (TNF) did not fulfil their initial hope. Ovarian cancer is in most cases
already metastasized to the peritoneum and omentum. Here, we show that on the one hand chemokines
produced by Th2, CD8 and NK cells inhibit cancer spreading and thus leads to a better operability and better
survival. Chemokine receptors are expressed by the tumor that are a decoy by binding chemokines that
normally should attract antigen cross-presenting dendritic cells that start an enforced T cell response to
replace the exhausted T cells

Published: January 2020

Dentoalveolar abscess, a localized accumulation of pus in the alveolar bone, can produce significant changes
in alveolar bone proper that may be resulted by dental caries, trauma or pulpitis causing alveolar bone
resorption or even loss. Unfortunately, it can extend vertically toward the apex of the tooth. Additionally,
a periapical abscess may form in the alveolar bone adjacent to the apex of the tooth. Interestingly, many
bacterial products can stimulate osteoclast formation and bone resorption of periapical tissues. This review
displayed drugs that can affect bone resorption that classified as (1) Osteoclast inhibitors such as:
bisphosphonates, gene therapeutic (Cathepsin K) estrogens, selective estrogen receptor modulators
(SERMs), calcitonin monoclonal antibodies such as denosumab and (2) Osteoclast activators such as DMPPYT, nuclear factor-Kappa B (RANK) signaling and adrenomedullin.

Authors: Zenonos Georgios A. , Sur Samir , Nuñez Maximiliano , Fernandes-Cabral David T. , Morcos Jacques J.
Published: January 2020

In this 3D video we review the case of a pontomesencephalic cavernous malformation in a 27-year-old woman who presented with hemiparesis and diplopia. The cavernous malformation was completely resected through a subtemporal transtentorial approach and an epitrigeminal brainstem entry zone, with a significant improvement in the patient’s hemiparesis. The relevant anatomy is reviewed in detail through multiple anatomical brainstem dissection specimens, as well as high-definition fiber tractography images. The rationale for the approach is analyzed relative to other possible options, and a number of technical pearls are provided.

Endoscopic endonasal approach for brainstem cavernous malformation
Authors: Goldschmidt Ezequiel , Venteicher Andrew S. , Nuñez Maximiliano , Wang Eric , Snyderman Carl , Gardner Paul
Published: January 2020

This 25-year-old woman presented after a second hemorrhage from a mesencephalic cavernous malformation. High-definition fiber tracking demonstrated lateral displacement of the corticospinal tracts, making a midline approach ideal. The lesion appeared to present to the third ventricle, but a transcallosal approach was abandoned due to the posterior third ventricular location and after FIESTA imaging revealed a superior and medial rim of normal parenchyma that would have to be transgressed to access the malformation. An endoscopic endonasal approach with interdural pituitary hemitransposition was performed. The interpeduncular cistern was accessed and the thalamoperforating arteries dissected to access the cavernous malformation that was completely removed in a piecemeal fashion. The patient’s preexisting internuclear ocular palsies and hemiparesis were slightly worsened after surgery as predicted by a drop in anterior tibialis motor evoked potentials. Postoperative MRI showed no infarct, and the hemiparesis was back to baseline at 1-month follow-up.

The lateral supracerebellar infratentorial, translateral mesencephalic sulcus approach to the mesencephalopontine junction
Authors: Kalani M. Yashar S. , Yağmurlu Kaan , Martirosyan Nikolay L. , Spetzler Robert F.
Published: January 2020

The lateral supracerebellar infratentorial (SCIT) approach provides advantageous access to lesions located in the lateral mesencephalon and mesencephalopontine junction. For lesions that abut the pial surface, a direct approach is ideal and well tolerated. For deep-seated lesions, the lateral mesencephalic sulcus (LMS) can be used to access lesions with minimal morbidity to the patient. This video demonstrates the use of the SCIT approach via the LMS to remove a cavernous malformation at the level of the mesencephalopontine junction. The use of somatosensory and motor evoked potential monitoring and intraoperative neuronavigation is essential for optimizing patient outcomes. Meticulous, multilayered closure is critical for optimal results in the posterior fossa. For optimal patient outcomes, approach selection for deep-seated lesions should combine the two-point method with safe entry zones. At follow-up, the patient had persistent sensory changes but was otherwise neurologically intact.

Published: January 2020

Foramen magnum (FM) meningiomas are challenging lesions. We present the case of a 38-year-old female with neck pain, dysphonia, and slight twelfth nerve palsy. Imaging workup was highly suggestive of an FM meningioma, and microsurgical resection with the aid of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring was indicated. A transcondylar approach was employed, the vertebral artery was mobilized, and the tumor was completely removed. Postoperative MRI demonstrated complete resection. There were no signs of cervical instability. The patient presented with improvement of her symptoms and no new neurological deficit on follow-up. FM meningiomas can be successfully resected using a transcondylar approach, since it increases the exposure of the ventral FM, allowing the surgeon to work parallel to the skull base and flush with the tumor’s attachment. Informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this operative video.

Awake craniotomy for the resection of a Broca-sited cerebral cavernous malformation with a developmental venous anomaly using near-infrared indocyanine green video angiography
Authors: Ramirez Issael , Iddo Paldor , Spektor Sergey
Published: January 2020

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are known to be angiographically occult malformations with low perfusion of blood flow.5 Near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG) video angiography allows for intraoperative observation and documentation of blood flow in large and small vessels.2,4

Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are thought to be the most common cerebral vascular abnormality.2,3 The opportunity to differentiate intraoperatively between normal veins and DVA draining veins might be useful in the event of a possible venous sacrifice. Coagulation of the DVA can lead to devastating consequences. ICG reliably demonstrates margins between CCM and the venous structures.1,2 For these reasons, we decided to use ICG video angiography in this patient.

Authors: Sanchez Correa Thalia Estefania , Ceja David Gallardo , Mendez-Rosito Diego
Published: January 2020

Brainstem cavernous malformation management is complex due to its critical location and deleterious effect when bleeding. Therefore, every case should be thoroughly analyzed preoperatively. We present the case of a female patient with a midbrain cavernous malformation. A comprehensive anatomical and clinical analysis of the surgical corridors is done to decide the safest route. A subtemporal approach was done and the lateral mesencephalic sulcus and vein were important anatomical landmarks to guide the safe entry zone. Nuances of technique and surgical pearls related to the safe entry zones of the midbrain are discussed and illustrated in this operative video.

Published: January 2020

Brainstem cavernous malformations are especially difficult to treat because of their deep location and intimate relation with eloquent structures. This is the case of a 26-year-old female presenting with dizziness, dysmetria, nystagmus and unbalance. Imaging depicted a lesion highly suggestive of a cavernous malformation in the left inferior cerebellar peduncle. Following a suboccipital midline craniotomy, the cerebellomedullary fissure was dissected and the lesion was identified bulging the surface. The malformation was completely removed with constant intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. The patient presented improvement of initial symptoms with no new deficits. Surgical resection of brainstem cavernous malformations can be successfully performed, especially when superficial, using the inferior cerebellar peduncle as an entry zone.

Authors: Nisson Peyton L. , Wicks Robert T. , Zhao Xiaochun , James Whitney S. , Xu David , Nakaji Peter
Published: January 2020

Cavernous malformations of the brain are low-flow vascular lesions that have a propensity to hemorrhage. Extensive surgical approaches are often required for operative cure of deep-seated lesions. A 23-year-old female presented with a cavernous malformation of the left posterior insula with surrounding hematoma measuring up to 3 cm. A minimally invasive (mini-)pterional craniotomy with a transsylvian approach was selected. Endoscopic assistance was utilized to confirm complete resection of the lesion. The minipterional craniotomy is a minimally invasive approach that provides optimal exposure for sylvian fissure dissection and resection of many temporal and insular lesions.

Published: January 2020

This video demonstrates the resection of an anterolateral mesencephalic cavernous malformation (CM) through a transsylvian/transuncal approach. A 10-year-old girl presented with progressive headache and left-sided spastic hemiparesis. Neuroimaging revealed a 20-mm CM located in the right anterolateral midbrain/cerebral peduncle. After orbitozygomatic craniotomy and wide sylvian fissure opening, the oculomotor nerve was dissected and separated from the temporal lobe. Partial resection of the uncus allowed access to the CM through the oculomotor-tentorial triangle. The CM was excised in a piecemeal fashion. Postoperative imaging confirmed the gross-total resection. The patient had no additional neurological deficits postoperatively. Her left hemiparesis almost completely resolved at the 12-month follow-up.

Published: January 2020

Brainstem cavernomas are benign, angiographically occult, low-flow lesions and constitute 18%–35% of intracranial cavernomas.4,6 They are known to have an annual rupture risk of 2%–6%,2,5 and once symptomatic, they frequently cause progressive neurological morbidity. A 22-year-old lady presented with progressive profound neurologic deficits from three distinct hemorrhages over 2 months. Surgery was indicated given the aggressive natural history, and the lesion now presented to the surface with displacement of corticospinal tracts noted on diffusion tensor imaging.1,7 We describe a surgical technique via an orbitozygomatic transsylvian pretemporal approach with uncal resection to open the oculomotor-tentorial window and resect the lesion.3

Pretemporal transcavernous transtentorial approach for right pontine cavernous malformation
Authors: Hsu Xavier T. J. , Liao Chih-Hsiang , Lin Chun-Fu , Hsu Sanford P. C.
Published: January 2020

A 57-year-old man presented with acute changes in mental status. Brain CT showed a high-density lesion at the pons. Brain MRA revealed a very slow-flow vascular lesion at the right aspect of the pons, about 3.9 ⋅ 3.0 ⋅ 3.0 cm3, compatible with a pontine cavernous malformation (CM). Gross-total removal was achieved. In this approach, a wider surgical corridor was obtained by opening the Meckel’s cave and cutting the tentorium. For a midline attack point on the pons, additional removal of the posterior clinoid process can meet the goal. In the authors’ opinion, this approach is safe and effective in selected ventrolateral pontine CMs.

Resection of brainstem cavernous malformation via perifacial zone through retrosigmoid supracondylar approach
Authors: Matsushima Ken , Kohno Michihiro , Bertalanffy Helmut
Published: January 2020

Hemorrhagic brainstem cavernous malformations carry a high risk of progressive neurological deficits owing to recurrent hemorrhages and hence require complete surgical resection while minimizing damage to the dense concentration of nuclei and fibers inside the brainstem. To access lesions inside the lower pons, the senior author (H.B.) has preferred to approach the lesions via the “perifacial zone” through the pontomedullary sulcus from the inferior surface of the pontine bulge for more than 20 years.1,2 This video demonstrates a case of a cavernous malformation inside the lower pons, which was surgically treated via the pontomedullary junction through the retrosigmoid supracondylar approach in a half-sitting position. The lesion was completely removed in piecemeal fashion through a tiny incision on the sulcus, which did not cause any new neurological deficits. The modified Rankin Scale improved from 4 before the surgery to 1, and the patient had no recurrence during the 2 years of follow-up. The advantage of this access and the dissection techniques for this challenging lesion are introduced, based on our experience with more than 230 surgeries of brainstem cavernoma.

Published: January 2020

Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is an increasing disease entity as the population ages. An emerging minimally invasive surgery (MIS) option for the treatment of ASD is the oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF), which allows indirect foraminal decompression of stenosis as well as segmental deformity correction (DiGiorgio et al., 2017). The authors utilize computer-assisted navigation with OLIF to reduce radiation exposure and improve time efficiency. The authors present a video of navigated oblique lumbar interbody fusion at L3–5 followed by open posterior screw-rod fixation.

Published: January 2020

Three-column osteotomies (3COs) can achieve significant alignment correction when revising fixed sagittal plane deformities; however, the technique is associated with high complication rates. The authors demonstrate staged anterior-posterior surgery with L5–S1 ALIF (below a prior L3–5 fusion) and multilevel Smith-Petersen osteotomies to circumvent the morbidity associated with 3CO. The patient was a 67-year-old male with three prior lumbar surgeries who presented with back and leg pain. Imaging demonstrated lumbar flat back deformity and sagittal imbalance. The narrated video details key radiological measurements, operative planning and rationale, surgical steps, and outcomes. The patient provided written, informed consent for publication of this illustrative case.

Modification of the legal basis of the activity of religious orders in Poland introduced by the communist authorities in 1949
Authors: Ordon Marta
Published: January 2020

This study casts light on the circumstances and effects of changes to the legal acts defining the legal framework of the activities of religious orders in post-war Poland. Until 1949, religious orders had not been covered by the regulations on the creation and legalization of secular associations. Pursuant to the decree of 5 August 1949, however, they were obligated to comply with the provisions of the Law on Associations. Failure to apply for the registration resulted in the dissolution of the order and the forfeiture of its assets by the state. Still, despite the submission of the applications as provided by law, the authorities refused to registered orders and did not maintain an official register of such entities, either. In point of fact, the communist regime only intended to develop such a legal context in which the law might be used as a tool of repression against religious orders. The actual aim of the 1949 amendment was not the intent to clarify the legal status of religious orders, which remained uncertain in the aftermath of the Resolution of the Provisional Government of National Unity of 12 September 1945 invalidating the 1925 Concordat. The authorities only intended to establish a strict state control over religious organizations and, by extension, gradually reduce their activity until their complete disappearance from public life. The content relies primarily on the analysis of the legislation and archival material gathered in the state and ecclesiastical archives in Poland.

El diseño de una estrategia de evaluación de los aprendizajes de niños y niñas con características diversas: un aporte para transformar el aula
Authors: Rincón Berenice Chávez
Published: January 2020

En el presente artículo, exponemos algunos resultados de un trabajo de investigación que revelan el diseño de una estrategia de evaluación para los aprendizajes de niños y niñas con características diversas, a partir de la implementación del diseño universal para el aprendizaje (DUA) y sustentado desde la metodología cualitativa de tipo evaluativo-proyectivo. Me propongo exponer los hallazgos y conclusiones desde las cuatro categorías de análisis: evaluación educativa, evaluación de los aprendizajes, estrategias de aprendizaje, población con características diversas y el enfoque metodológico planteado por el DUA. La información recogida demostró que para los docentes, no hay claridad ni estandarización en los instrumentos utilizados para evaluar a los estudiantes; predomina el uso de la evaluación tipo sumativa mas no formativa; en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, se evidencia que, aunque hay una planeación de clase, no se reflejan los criterios y procedimientos flexibles de la evaluación educativa desde una perspectiva inclusiva. Se concluyó que el DUA puede ser una herramienta clave para hacer uso de diferentes estrategias pedagógicas y flexibilizar el currículo; y el diseño de una estrategia metodológica de evaluación puede universalizar la práctica de aula y disminuir las barreras de aprendizaje de la población de inclusión.

Human Egalitarianism and the Patriarchal Illusion: A Phenomenological View
Authors: Bauer Rudolph
Published: January 2020

Este es un estudio fenomenológico sobre las bases ontológicas de la vida igualitaria. La fuente fundamental de la vida igualitaria es la experiencia de la conciencia de igualdad y la visión de igualdad. La base la conciencia de igualdad y la visión de igualdad es nuestra experiencia directa de la pureza de nuestro ser y el ser de los demás. La conciencia de igualdad no es simplemente un valor mental sino una percepción directa de la pureza del ser de todos los hombres. Nuestra experiencia de que todos los hombres son creados iguales no es simplemente una creencia sino nuestra experiencia del conocimiento directo del Ser de los seres humanos. El estudio también explora la fenomenología del Maestro Patriarcal como aquel que conoce la Verdad Absoluta con la experiencia correspondiente de dominación y sumisión, también conocida como la relación maestro-esclavo. La Institución Patriarcal, cualquiera que sea la circunstancia, destruye la Igualdad de Conciencia y la Igualdad de Visión y, en última instancia, destruye la vida igualitaria.
To create a better and more peaceful world: Infusing human rights instruction in PK-12 classrooms
Authors: Daly Kimberley
Published: January 2020

This article discusses an online graduate education course at a large Southern university in the United States. The course, part of a certificate program for International Baccalaureate (IB) educators, focuses on infusing human rights instruction in PK-12 classrooms and provides teachers with additional methods and strategies to teach various subjects, disciplines, student populations, and cultural contexts. Although the course text centers on the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), additional readings require students to consider other human rights documents, academic research concerning peace and human rights education, and classroom strategies. The teachers who complete the course are more confident working with human rights topics and the course encourages educators to think critically and connect issues at their grade level and in their current contexts.

El ingreso de un bachiller a una universidad es un escalón más para seguir superándose, alcanzar sus sueños, metas o deseos para que en un futuro pueda tener una vida tranquila y prospera a lado de sus seres queridos, pero si esta meta se ve truncada porque la universidad está muy lejos y no cuenta con los recursos necesarios para aprovechar esa oportunidad. Es por eso que el objetivo de este trabajo es explorar si la migración interna que se da en nuestro país para poder ingresar a la educación superior por parte de los jóvenes bachilleres, puede ser representada como un factor de riesgo en los ámbitos sociales, económicos y de salud. Se diseñó una investigación deductiva, observacional y de comparación propia de todos los factores positivos y negativo que se reflejan en este problema social, en mi caso soy parte de este gran círculo problemático donde yo he tenido problemas tanto económicos como familiares para conllevar mis estudios superiores pero con la ayuda de personas que me aprecian he podido seguir estudiando y sé que muchos jóvenes con el mismo problema migratorio que yo han debido abandonar los estudios o recurren al consumo de estupefacientes por no saber cómo afrontar el no seguir estudiando o no contar con el apoyo de sus allegados y es ahí donde esta investigación tratara de juntar todos los factores que truncan a un estudiante a salir adelante, sobresalir y acabar su carrera universitaria.

Sporotrichosis is a globally prevalent subcutaneous mycosis commonly acquired through traumatic inoculation. A 66-year-old woman with underlying systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presented initially with a painful non-healing nodule on her right thumb. There was no history of traumatic contact with soil, plants or animals. She was started on an antibiotic but developed multiple nodules on her right forearm which appeared to spread proximally. Culture of her skin biopsy specimen yielded Sporothrix schenckii. The lesions were successfully treated with oral itraconazole. In conclusion, a history of traumatic inoculation need not always be present in SLE patients with sporotrichosis and obtaining a laboratory diagnosis is crucial for those presenting with nodular skin lesions that spread proximally

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the world’s deadliest disease. Presently, one fourth of the world’s population is thought to be infected with TB. Early diagnosis of tuberculosis is very important for therapeutic reasons and to control the spread of infection. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of fluorescence (FL) microscopy in comparison to Ziehl- Neelsen (ZN) staining

Methods: A cross-sectional study of 310 TB suspects attending Dhaka Medical College hospital subjected to four sputum examinations by ZN and FM. Löwenstein- Jensen culture was used as the gold standard. Of 310 suspects enrolled, 304 (98%) had a complete diagnostic work-up involving three sputum specimens for ZN and FM, culture and chest X-ray (CXR).

Result: Out of 320 suspected case, 10 persons were out of our study. Among 310, 204 suspected case sputum culture was positive. Though we took sputum culture as gold standard, so there were 204 tuberculosis patient present in our study. Out of 204 TB patient 125 (61.2%) cases were positive in ZN staining. Negative ZN methods were also high 79 (39.7%) which indicate less sensitivity. On the other hand, FM methods showed 193 (94.6%) cases positive out of 204 sputum culture positive patient. It also presence of 11 cases which showed negative result in this methods. From this data we can assumed higher sensitivity of FL methods from ZN methods. Here 106 cases were culture negative. Out of these 106 people only 05 persons were positive in ZN staining whereas 10 persons were find to positive in FL methods. This message demonstrates us that specificity of ZN methods are slightly higher over FM methods. Overall sensitivity of ZN microscopic (61%)) methods are much lower than FL microscopic methods (95%). On the other hand, specificity was slightly reverse, which showed 95.5% in case ZN methods and 91% in FL methods. It also demonstrates that positive predictive value of ZN microscopy (96%) is slightly higher than FL microscopic (95%) methods but negative predictive value showed gross difference ZN microscopic (56%) and FL microscopic (89%) methods.

Conclusions: The FL methods is more sensitive and shortens the diagnostic process of tuberculosis. Consequently, more patients can be put on a regimen for smear-positive TB, contributing to improved treatment and reducing transmission. For that Front-loaded (FL) microscopic approach may apply for early diagnosis and detection of tuberculosis.

Fecundity estimation has obvious significance in aquaculture, since the size of brood stock, amount of rearing facilities and necessity of other equipment’s are dependent on fecundity. The study has been conducted on fecundity estimation of Indian potasi, Neotropius atherinoides, based on 202 females collected from the Kangsha River flowing through Netrokona district during the period from January to June 2013. The standard length (SL) range of female were 47-66, 50-64, 57-68, 50-66, 56-66 and 60-76 mm and range of body weight were 1.07-3.56, 1.23-3.35, 2.36-3.81, 1.69-4.31, 2.33-5.59 and 3.18-5.14 g in January, February, March, April, May and June, respectively. The mean Gonado somatic indices (GSI) were very low from January to March but these were abruptly high during subsequent three months. Based on mean GSI the spawning season of this species was assumed from April to June over the study period. Scatter plot of standard length with corresponding GSI revealed that the minimum length of mature female was 50 mm SL. Egg diameter frequency distribution of a mature ovary showed almost only one major mode of egg size suggested that the fish is a single spawner, and summation of eggs in that mode was regarded as the fecundity of a female Indian potasi. The regression equation of the relationship between standard length and fecundity was as, Fecundity = 0.0017 SL 3.55. The relative fecundity and the absolute fecundity of a fish having SL of 62 mm was 1477 per g and 3921, respectively based on F-SL relationship. The relationship between body weight and fecundity was as, Fecundity = 1371.3 BW-650.8. The absolute fecundity of a fish having BW of 3.51 g was 4162 respectively based F-BW relationship. The relationship between ovary weight and fecundity was as, Fecundity = 6244.3 OW + 967.52. The absolute fecundity of a fish having ovary weight of 3.51 g was 7211 based F-OW relationship. The correlation coefficient of all above analyses were very high (>0.755) attributing that standard length, body weight and gonad weight were highly positively correlated with fecundity of Indian Potasi, Neotropius atherinoides.

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Associated with Haloperidol
Authors: Bhuiyan Md Fajlul Kabir
Published: January 2020

A 42-year-old adult schizophrenic patient developed high fever (106 degree Fahrenheit), mental state changes and muscle rigidity after treatment with parenteral haloperidol. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) associated with haloperidol was suspected. Other differentials were excluded. Haloperidol was discontinued and prompt treatment with bromocriptine and lorazepam was started resulting in a good recovery. Because of the temporal relationship between the patient's improvement with the discontinuation of haloperidol and treatment with lorazepam and bromocriptine, the diagnosis was believed to be haloperidol-induced NMS.
