Proportion of hydatidiform molar gestations among patients undergoing uterine evacuation for missed abortions, associated demographics and risk factors -Experience at a single center over 18 months
Authors: Balsarkar Geetha Dharmesh , Tambvekar Sunil E.
Published: June 2024

Objectives:

Gestational trophoblastic diseases represent a significant obstetric morbidity among women of reproductive age, with a potential to impact women’s health substantially. Molar pregnancies present as clinical aberrations in embryogenesis and placentation during the first trimester of pregnancy. Cases with missed abortions and spontaneous incomplete abortions requiring uterine evacuation, could be an opportunity to look for molar pregnancies through histopathology which otherwise could be missed. We aim to study the proportion of hydatidiform molar gestations among patients undergoing uterine evacuation in cases of missed abortion and to evaluate the demographic and risk factors associated with hydatidiform molar gestations.

Material and Methods:

A prospective observational, descriptive study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of a tertiary care teaching hospital over a period of 18 months. Data was collected using a pre-tested study questionnaire which included the objectives, besides the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The abortus and uterine evacuated tissue was sent for histopathologic examination by a single histopathologist. Analysis of various epidemiological characteristics and risk factors was done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 21.

Results:

Out of 67 patients presenting with missed abortions or incomplete abortions during the study period, five had hydatidiform molar gestations; an incidence of 7.5%. Upon histological examination 3 (4.5%) patients had a complete mole, 2 (3%) had a partial mole while 62 (92.5%) had non-molar histopathology. Eleven (16.4%) of the study participants had a history of previous spontaneous pregnancy loss/recurrent pregnancy losses. Three among five cases detected to have molar gestations had a history of prior spontaneous abortions (60%), and the difference observed was statistically significant (P = 0.019; Odds Ratio [95% Confidence interval] 10.25 [1.459–70.257]). Hyperthyroidism and high levels of serum beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG) were associated with molar gestations and this was statistically significant.

Conclusion:

The risk of developing molar gestation is higher in patients who had previous first-trimester losses. Importantly, this should be a differential diagnosis in instances with elevated β-HCG and high thyroid hormone levels. Histopathological examination of products of conception should be considered as an essential assessment in all presentations of spontaneous abortions requiring uterine evacuation.

A rare case of polysplenia syndrome associated with atrioventricular canal defect and type four ileal atresia in a preterm neonate: A case report and literature review
Authors: Prashanth R. R. , Jyothi S. , Haribalakrishna Anitha
Published: June 2024

Antenatal diagnosis of heterotaxy syndrome is only the tip of the iceberg. These neonates can have a myriad of multi-system anomalies, each of which requires anticipation and an individualized management plan. The spectrum of heterotaxy syndrome ranges from incidentally detected innocuous anomalies to major life-threatening congenital malformations such as atrioventricular canal defects and bowel atresia. Neonatal sepsis tends to be more fulminant and catastrophic in these neonates with complex anomalies and poor outcomes that necessitates better-informed antenatal counseling regarding the termination of such pregnancies.
Feeding modes and persistent diarrhea: A comparative case–control study in infants in Hodeida, Yemen
Authors: Alselwi Khaled Abdo , Suhail Mohamed Ahmed
Published: June 2024

Objectives:

Diarrhea is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among infants globally. Infant feeding practices influence diarrhea risk, but its relationship requires further investigation, especially in Yemen. This study aims to identify associations between feeding modes (breastfeeding, mixed feeding, formula, and goat milk) and persistent diarrhea in Yemeni infants.

Material and Methods:

A hospital-based case–control study was conducted from January to June 2020 in Hodeidah, Yemen. The cases were 240 infants aged 2–24 months with persistent diarrhea. Controls were 120 age-matched healthy infants. Caregiver interviews collected data on feeding practices. Odds ratios (OR) estimate relationships between exposures and persistent diarrhea.

Results:

We observed a protective effect of breastfeeding against persistent diarrhea, with breastfed infants having a significantly lower risk of developing persistent diarrhea compared to non-breastfed infants (OR: 0.43, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.27–0.68, P = 0.037). In addition, we found a significant association between goat milk consumption and persistent diarrhea, with infants who consumed goat milk having a higher risk of persistent diarrhea (OR: 4.67, 95% CI: 1.15–19.01, P = 0.009). While mixed feeding showed a potential increased risk of persistent diarrhea compared to exclusive breastfeeding, the wide CI indicated that this association was not statistically significant and required further research (OR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.09–3.18). In contrast, the association between formula feeding and persistent diarrhea was inconclusive and not statistically significant (P = 0.938; OR: 0.867, 95% CI: 0.353–2.128), suggesting no significant relationship. These results highlight the protective effect of breastfeeding and the potential risks of goat milk consumption, while relationships between mixed/formula feeding and persistent diarrhea require more evidence.

Conclusion:

Certain feeding practices increase the risk of persistent diarrhoea in Yemeni infants. Promoting exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding guidance alongside tailored behavior change strategies, especially in rural communities can help address these modifiable risk factors.

Ce texte entend défendre l’apprentissage des processus de conception et de concrétisation au sein des formations en design, notamment à l’université, en raison de son potentiel à instruire de nouveaux dialogues socio-industriels. En rappelant les principes de la typification hérités du Staatliches Bauhaus, il s’agit de nous intéresser à leur renouveau à travers la conception probabiliste des systèmes enseignée à la Hochschule für Gestaltung (HfG) Ulm, quelques décennies plus tard. La lecture que nous proposons de ce double héritage nous permet ainsi d’envisager l’approche écologique, économique, sociale et technique (écosociotechnique) à travers les types selon la nécessité d’une soutenabilité industrielle.
Le rôle éducatif de l'objet dans l'enseignement du design: ébauche d'un modèle didactique
Authors: Schenker Marie
Published: June 2024

Les objets utilisés dans l'enseignement du design ont une signification spécifique pour la formation de compétences. En se basant sur des concepts sociologiques et philosophiques tels que ceux de Simon (1996) ou de Latour (1994) sur le rôle et l'importance des objets dans les contextes sociaux, il est possible de développer un modèle didactique qui utilise les propriétés spécifiques des objets pour placer l'objet dans le rôle d'agent didactique. Ainsi, en plus des apprenants, des enseignants et du contexte situationnel, un autre agent intervient dans le processus d'apprentissage et le façonne d'une manière spécifique.
Efficient Method for Achieving Electronic Coupling in TEMPO/TEMPO+ System
Authors: Mitra Souvik , Zens Clara , Kupfer Stephan , Diddens Diddo
Published: June 2024

This research elucidates the intricate nature of electronic coupling in the redox- active (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO), commonly utilized in organic radical batteries (ORBs). The study employs a combination of classical molecular dynamics (MD) and various electronic coupling calculation schemes. Within the con- text of the generalized Mulliken-Hush (GMH) method, the electronic couplings are investigated via the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) approach, in combination with n-eletron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2), to provide an accurate description of both static and dynamic electron correlation as well as using (time-dependent) density functional theory (TD–DFT) simulations. Furthermore, the electronic communication between redox-active sites is studied using the cost-efficient DFT–based frontier molecular orbital (FMO) approach. Our study reveals the de- pendence of the electronic coupling on the distance and the relative orientation of the redox pairs (TEMPO and TEMPO+ ). Apart from the expected exponential dis- tance dependence, we found a pronounced orientation dependence with coupling values varying up to 0.2 eV, especially at short distances. Our findings underline the signifi- cance of including dynamic correlation in the electronic coupling method, which, unlike CASSCF method, can be included via TDDFT–based GMH methods. Additionally, our study highlights the limitations of the DFT–based FMO method, in particular at short intermolecular distances between the redox-active sites which may lead to a mixing of the involved molecular orbitals. This comparison will provide us with the most cost–accuracy–effective method for calculating coupling in TEMPO–TEMPO+ systems.

Authors: Da Costa José Douglas Monteiro , Quintanilha José Alberto
Published: June 2024

As florestas tropicais são essenciais para a mitigação das mudanças climáticas, pois armazenam grandes quantidades de carbono na biomassa e na matéria orgânica do solo. Estudos utilizando dados de inventários florestais em modelos de interpolação geoestatística (krigagem) e sensoriamento remoto (imagens ópticas e radar de abertura sintética - SAR) têm revelado precisão satisfatória na estimativa da biomassa e carbono florestal. Frente à importância dessas ferramentas, o presente estudo teve como objetivo apresentar uma revisão que discorre sobre as aplicações das geotecnologias na estimativa de biomassa e carbono florestal. Estimativas mais precisas da biomassa e carbono florestal podem ser alcançadas quando a variabilidade espacial é levada em consideração. Fatores ambientais, como solo, relevo e clima, podem ser usados como preditores da distribuição espacial da biomassa e carbono florestal quando há uma relação entre essas variáveis e os diferentes tipos de vegetação, com o auxílio das geotecnologias. A krigagem, imagens de ópticas e de radar são geotecnologias que vêm auxiliando na modelagem de biomassa e carbono florestal, na construção de mapas de distribuição espacial, que podem ser utilizados como ferramentas para a orientação de políticas públicas, para inventários de emissões e estimativas de balanço de carbono, para determinar se o local atua como fonte ou sumidouro de carbono.
Macierzyństwo w percepcji bezdzietnych kobiet z długotrwałym uszkodzeniem rdzenia kręgowego
Authors: Gabryś Agnieszka
Published: June 2024

Zagadnienie macierzyństwa kobiet z niepełnosprawnością w coraz większym stopniu podejmowane jest przez badaczy tej problematyki. W większości odnaleźć można prace realizowane w nurcie badań jakościowych. Celem niniejszego badania było ustalenie, jak bezdzietne kobiety z długotrwałym uszkodzeniem rdzenia kręgowego postrzegają macierzyństwo. Uczestniczkami badania było 10 kobiet z długotrwałym uszkodzeniem rdzenia kręgowego w wieku od 32 do 63 lat. Zastosowano podejście jakościowe, a metodę zbierania danych stanowił pogłębiony wywiad indywidualny. Wywiady realizowane były we wschodniej i centralnej Polsce. Definiując macierzyństwo badane wskazywały na oczywistość tej roli w życiu każdej kobiety również z niepełnosprawnością, wskazując na pewne ograniczenia w tym zakresie. Zdaniem respondentek decyzja kobiet z niepełnosprawnością ruchową o posiadaniu potomstwa jest bardziej skomplikowana i trudniejsza niż w przypadku pełnosprawnych kobiet. Badane w większości deklarowały niezamierzoną bezdzietność.
Dysleksja a wzrokowo-percepcyjne uwarunkowania trudności w czytaniu
Authors: Papuda-Dolińska Beata
Published: June 2024

Celem artykułu jest odróżnienie trudności w czytaniu o etiologii zakorzenionej w czynnikach wzrokowo-percepcyjnych od dysleksji jako stricte językowego zaburzenia. Artykuł charakteryzuje funkcjonalne objawy trudności w czytaniu spowodowane deficytami fonologicznymi w przypadku dysleksji rozwojowej oraz zaburzeniami w procesach wzrokowych na poziomie odbioru, takimi jak obniżona ostrość wzroku jak i na poziomie percepcji, np. uszkodzenia obszarów korowych i podkorowych. Trudności w czytaniu o podłożu wzrokowo-percepcyjnym wydają się być zagadnieniem złożonym, ponieważ mogą istnieć jako odrębna kategoria wobec samej dysleksji rozwojowej, ale także mogą towarzyszyć dysleksji i komplikować problemy edukacyjne dziecka. Identyfikacja przyczyny trudności w czytaniu ma kluczowe znaczenie w procesie planowania terapeutycznych i postdiagnostycznych interwencji. Niepowodzenie w tym zakresie lub błędne określenie przyczyn trudności w czytaniu może prowadzić do mylnych diagnoz i w rezultacie do stosowania nieskutecznych terapii.
Exploring the Role of Counselors Amidst Governance Dynamics: Authoritarian in the Chinese Higher Education Context?
Authors: Liu Ying , Guo Zhiyin
Published: June 2024

This article explores the unique role of college counselors in China, combining theoretical statements and case analyses. In China, the term “Fu Dao Yuan” refers to counselors who have a wider range of responsibilities and greater authority than their English counterparts. They are the backbone of ideological and political education for Chinese college students, serving as both teachers and friends. Counselors must have solid knowledge of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Communist Party of China, psychology, and other relevant topics. They typically perform duties in nine sections, including ideological and political theory education, as well as Party and League construction. Counselors are on the front line of student affairs, acting as a bridge between the school and students. They help students with various problems related to life and study. Counselors hold authority for students, as their notices represent official school news. However, counselors are also sandwiched between students and the school, similar to a sausage in a hot dog. Comparing the handling mechanisms of student affairs in western universities, the author highlights the benefits of the counselor system to schools and students while counselors face pressure due to their authoritarian nature.

Authors: Zirekgür Merve , Karakaya Barış
Published: June 2024

Normalization is utilized to remove outliers from the dataset and address network bias. In this research, Mean-Variance-Softmax-Rescale (MVSR) and Min-Max normalizations are employed in various combinations for the diagnosis of COVID-19 using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based Deep Learning (DL) model, aimed at enhancing network accuracy. To accomplish this, the CNN model is developed within the Google Colab environment and trained using a publicly available dataset consisting of chest X-ray images related to COVID-19. The dataset is normalized using different combinations of the MVSR and Min-Max normalization algorithms to compare model accuracy. Each normalized dataset is used for model training, and subsequently, each trained model is integrated into the Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit FPGA for the testing phase. The most accurate results are obtained when both MVSR and Min-Max normalizations are applied simultaneously. This high-performing scenario is re-evaluated with real-time camera and FPGA configuration. During real-time implementations, Min-Max normalization is performed within the Colab environment, while the MVSR normalization algorithm is executed using the Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter FPGA Kit. Experimentally, the highest accuracy is achieved in real-time with the MVSR+Min-Max scenario, reaching 93%. The model's precision, recall, and F1-Score values are determined as 0.91, 0.96, and 0.93, respectively.

Published: June 2024

The research aims to determine the effect of slaughter age on carcass characteristics and meat quality of KUB chickens kept by farmers as meat producers. The research used a completely randomized design with a unidirectional pattern using 65 un-sexed Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) chickens. The chickens were divided into 4 slaughter age treatments, namely 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 10 weeks. At each slaughter age, 15 chickens are used as replications. All chickens in the slaughter age group are slaughtered using the bleeding method in the neck area by cutting off the respiratory tract, blood vessels and digestive tract. After the chicken is declared dead, it is dipped in warm water (temperature 80oC), then the feathers are cleaned, the head and neck, legs are cut and the internal contents are removed. For the purposes of measuring meat quality, meat samples were taken from the chest and then measured at the Animal Products Processing Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Mataram University. Slaughter age increased live weight, lower thigh weight percentage, meat cooking loss value (P<0.01), carcass weight percentage, wing weight percentage, upper thigh weight percentage, and water holding capacity (P<0.05), but did not affect breast weight percentage , back weight and meat pH (P>0.05). It was concluded that delaying the age of slaughter increases the edible part and decreases the inedible part. This research delays the age of slaughter to increase the edible part and reduce the inedible part.

Diabetes mellitus is a serious long-term (or 'chronic') condition caused by increased levels of glucose in the blood because the body cannot produce one or enough of the insulin hormones, or cannot use the insulin it produces effectively. IDF data, the global prevalence of DM in 2019 is estimated at 9.3% (463 million people), increasing to 10.2% (578 million) in 2030 and 10.9% (700 million) in 2045 (IDF, 2019). Research results (Riskesdas) in 2018, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in South Sulawesi diagnosed by doctors was 1.8% and 1.3%. WHR is a method for assessing fat accumulation in the body. The risk of DM is more related to intra-abdominal fat than subcutaneous fat. WHR was shown to be a better predictor of type 2 DM risk compared with BMI. The WHR limit for men in Asia Pacific is >0.9 and women >0.85. To determine the relationship between RLPP and fasting blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at the Tabarringan Community Health Center. This research is an analytical study using the Cross Sectional method, to determine the relationship between Fasting Blood Glucose and Waist-Hip Ratio. The research results showed that from 65 respondents a p-value was obtained of 0.514 > 0.05 so that Hnull was accepted and H1 was rejected. So the results obtained are that there is no relationship between WHR and fasting blood sugar levels. There is no relationship between WHR and fasting blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at the Tabarringan Community Health Center.

Antioxidants are chemical compounds that can donate one or more electrons to free radicals, so antioxidants function to neutralize free radicals. Antioxidants delay and inhibit cell damage through their properties that can neutralize free radicals. Several studies have reported that M.oleifera has antioxidant activity to various pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer. Moringa oleifera or better known as Moringa is a plant that is widely used by the community to overcome various disease complaints. In addition to Moringa leaves, Soursop leaves (Annona muricata L) also have high antioxidant content in their leaves so that these plants can be divided into synthetic antioxidants and natural antioxidants. The use of synthetic antioxidants is currently decreasing due to consideration of the negative effects on health such as liver damage and can cause carcinogens so that their use is replaced by natural antioxidants. The natural antioxidants in question are compounds found in natural materials such as Moringa leaves and Soursop leaves. The type of research used in this study is experimental research by testing the comparison of antioxidant compound activity between Moringa leaves and Soursop leaves using the DPPH method. Moringa leaves had antioxidant activity of 141.34 ppm, while Soursop leaves had antioxidant activity of 82.39 ppm. There is no significant difference in antioxidant activity between Moringa leaves and Soursop leaves.
