Authors: Dwivedi Smriti S. , Bajpai Malay , Bhushan Indu , Satkirti Arunima
Published: October 2019

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the common gynecological complaints of women of all age groups. Histopathological study of endometrial biopsy and curettage samples is an effective diagnostic modality that can be used to identify cause of AUB at its earliest. This study was done to investigate the various endometrial causes of AUB that frequently come to our hospital and their incidence in various age groups i.e. reproductive, perimenopausal and postmenopausal.Methods: This study was conducted on 108 patients who clinically presented with AUB and had their endometrial biopsy and curettage specimens sent to the histopathology department of our tertiary care hospital and teaching centre, located in Uttar Pradesh from June 2018 to May 2019. The endometrial patterns were observed, and their frequencies and percentages were computed and classified age group wise.Results: These studies included patients with age range from 19 to 77 years. The predominant age group with AUB was reproductive age group (<40 years). The most common histopathological finding in this study was normal menstrual pattern (48.15 %). The endometrial pathologies observed were hormonal imbalance and pill effect (22.22%), atrophic endometrium (10.19%), chronic endometritis (5.56%), benign endometrial polyp (4.63%), gestation products (3.70%), endometrial hyperplasia (3.70%), and endometrial carcinoma (1.85%). Conclusion: The most commonly known cause of AUB in reproductive age group is due to hormonal imbalance. Endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma are usually more common in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal age groups. Overall, in patients with no organic cause of AUB, normal cyclical endometrial pattern is the most prevalent endometrial pattern observed.Conclusions: The most commonly known cause of AUB in reproductive age group is due to hormonal imbalance. Endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma are usually more common in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal age groups. Overall, in patients with no organic cause of AUB, normal cyclical endometrial pattern is the most prevalent endometrial pattern observed.

Published: October 2019

Background: The present study was conducted to compare three different Quincke’s spinal needles i.e. 23, 25 and 26 gauge in patients undergoing elective surgery under spinal anaesthesia (SA).Methods: The prospective randomized double-blind study was conducted on 150 male patients in the age group of 18-50 yrs., having physical status class I to II, scheduled for elective surgery under SA. Patients were randomly divided into three groups comprising 50 patients each. SA was administered using Quincke’s spinal needles of 23, 25 and 26 gauge in group 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Ease of insertion, number of attempts and time of appearance of CSF and incidence of PDPH was recorded in all the patients.Results: Ease of insertion was graded easy in 98%, 84% and 82% in group 1, 2 and 3 respectively. First attempt success rate was highest in group 1, (98%). Meantime for appearance of CSF beyond hub was maximum in group 3 i.e. 14.60±2.56 sec. Mild PDPH was reported in 6% and 2% patients after 24 hrs in group 1 and group 2 respectively.Conclusions: Finer spinal needle proved to be more dependable in generating less traumatic effect on the dura and preventing PDPH but are technically more difficult thus decreasing first attempt success rate.

Published: October 2019

Background: Pleomorphic adenoma is the commonest benign salivary gland neoplasm but it has the tendency to reoccur if not properly removed and has ability to undergo malignant transformation. The aim of the study was to discuss the presentation and treatment of pleomorphic adenoma of the head and neck region.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients treated for pleomorphic adenoma of the head and neck region between 2011 and 2018. Data assessed included demographics, clinical presentation, imaging, treatment, complications, recurrence and follow‐up.  

Results: Seventy nine patients with pleomorphic adenoma were identified. Major salivary gland lesions were most common (n=64, 81.0%); 67% (53 of 64) arising in the parotid and 14% (11 of 64) in the submandibular glands. Minor salivary gland lesions were removed from the palate (8 of 15, 53.3%), parapharyngeal space (3 of 15, 20%), nasal septum (2 of 15, 13.3%), lower lip (1 of 15, 6.7%) and base of tongue (1 of 15, 6.7%). Preoperative imaging done was mainly computed tomography in all the cases however in parapharyngeal space cases magnetic resonance imaging was also done. Surgical excision was performed in all patients except base of tongue case.

Conclusions: Treatment of pleomorphic adenoma is mainly surgical with negative margin. Rate of recurrence is low, however long follow-up is recommended. 
Bone Complications in Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Authors: S Saowapa , JS Isenberg , B Salehian
Published: October 2019

Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allogenic HSCT) is employed to treat benign and malignanthematologic disorders. Increased use of allogenic HSCT has improved outcomes and patient survival, but has led to increased complications. Bone complications following HSCT include osteopenia, osteoporosis, avascular necrosis (AVN) and fracture. These complications decrease patient quality of life and increase morbidity. Allogenic HSCTassociated bone loss is linked to multiple factors including pre-transplant physiologic risk, myeloablative regimens, total-body irradiation, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), immunosuppressive regimens, secondary hypogonadism, intestinal malabsorption and renal dysfunction. However, the precise molecular causes of HSCT-associated bone loss remain to be determined. Herein, we summarize the epidemiology, risk factors, and pathophysiology of allogenic HSCT-related bone loss and fracture. Also, review is made of the current modalities for prevention and treatment of these complications.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the sexual health knowledge among females seeking consultation in behavioral clinics or shelters with emphasis on sexual routs of HIV transmission.
Materials and methods: In this study 250 women who have attended behavioral clinics or shelters in Tehran were recruited and a standardized questionnaire which asked about demographics, sexual partner and knowledge about HIV/STDs was used.
Results: The median age of our cases was 40.82% and among them 16% were married but lived alone. Among the total 250 cases, 56% (140) were sexually active in the last 30 days, 19.2% (48) had a history of a one-night stand and 2.4% had more than 1 sexual partner. 212 cases answered questions about condom use, 60% (127) of them did not use condoms at all. For knowledge about signs and symptoms related to STDs, 63% believed that abdominal pain has no relation to STDs. Also 44%, 43%, 37%,and 40% believed that dyspareunia, dysuria, malodorous vaginal discharge and change in color of vaginal discharge, respectively had no relation to STDs and 13%  of whom presented with these symptoms in the past 30 days had not seek medical evaluation.
Conclusion: It is a necessity to emphasize the use of condoms among the male population however in this study it was a challenge to do so because it goes against the government’s campaign of pro-natalism. Improving the knowledge of protected sex should start from the teenage years and at school to have maximum STD prevention planning. Most women in our study did not know about healthy sexual lifestyle and this shows the need of sexual health education before marriage or even at school.

Este trabalho objetiva compreender o conhecimento de si como um espaço de formação que evidencia a prática desenvolvida na docência em classes multisseriadas, como um fazer que se reconfigura a partir da dinâmica que se efetiva através das relações que se dão no cotidiano da escola. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de base qualitativa, desenvolvida por meio da abordagem (auto)biográfica como perspectiva metodológica, pela centralidade na análise de narrativas que o sujeito produz. Assim, elegemos as entrevistas narrativas como um dispositivo de investigação. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com três professores da Educação Básica que vivem e convivem em contextos rurais e também desenvolvem à docência em classes multisseriadas de suas comunidades, no município de Várzea do Poço, interior da Bahia. O estudo permitiu concluir que a formação é fundamentada numa concepção que toma o conhecimento de si como espaço de formação e, também, o coloca como elemento constituinte do processo de formação, autoformação e ecoformação. As narrativas (auto)biográficas revelam como os professores concebem as diferenças a partir de suas próprias experiências e histórias de vida e formação. Falar de si configura-se enquanto um procedimento formativo construído entre e com os professores a partir de cinco princípios da formação que se congregam entre si e transversalizam o fazer docente nas classes multisseriadas.

Los adolescentes han ampliado las prácticas de la cultura fotográfica: lo que erauna práctica solemne para fijar en la memoria familiar una serie de ritos de pasaje en lastrayectorias vitales, se ha transformado en una práctica lúdica y cotidiana para compartircon el grupo de pares. Esta práctica, que se basa en la producción y publicación de imágenes para estimular la sociabilidad en redes sociales online, ha sido motorizada por unaserie de cambios tecnológicos y socio-culturales que se han dado en paralelo al desarrollode la Internet 2.0: 1) los adolescentes que tienen acceso a una computadora con Internet ya una cámara de fotos digital, pueden utilizar un repertorio de herramientas de creacióny manipulación de imágenes de bajo nivel de dificultad que hasta hace pocos años erainexistente; 2) las redes sociales online le otorgan a la circulación de imágenes un lugarpreponderante; 3) la sociabilidad a partir del photo sharing se ha vuelto la principal actividad online de la mayoría de los adolescentes. Considerando dichas transformaciones,este trabajo explora a partir de observaciones y entrevistas en profundidad, las diversasformas en que los adolescentes utilizan la fotografía digital como componente central desu sociabilidad cotidiana.
CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY METHODS IN OBJECTIVE EVALUATION OF OVEREATING FOOD OF CARNIVORES (MEAT) BY A PHYLOGENETICALLY HERBIVOROUS HOMO SAPIENS (A PATIENT)
Authors: Titov V. N. , Rozhkova T. A. , Kaminnaya V. I. , Alchinova I. B.
Published: October 2019

The abuse of food of carnivores (meat) by phylogeneticallyI herbivorous Homo sapiens (a patient) initiates atherosclerosis. Addressing biogenetic law of E. Haeckel that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny (a universal anamnesis), we suggest a diagnostic technique that allows evaluation of the meat diet abuse by a herbivorous Homo sapiens. This technique is based on application of phylogenetic theory of general pathology to clinical practice. The degrees of objective evaluation of nonphysiological overeating of meat are: the first, an increase in the fast plasma content of oleic triglycerides palmitoyl-oleyl-palmitate (POP). The second, hyperglyceridemia + an increase in low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-CL) content. The third, increased plasma content of apoС-III. The fourth, an increase in the concentration of apoВ-48. If electrophoregrams are analyzed and hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) type is determined according to WHO classification, the first degree of meat overeating is not informative, the second, corresponds to type IV HLP; the third, to type IIb HLP, and the forth, to type V HLP, i.e, the patient diet consists practically of the food of carnivores. Hyperlipoproteinemia coincides with insulin resistance syndrome, hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, which is based on blood increase of fatty acids in the form of polar unesterified fatty acids (UFA). According to phylogenetic theory of general pathology, in vivo cells do not internalize glucose if there is a possibility to internalize UFA. Preventive examination allows evaluation of disorders in the biological function of trophology (food consumption). Thus, the use of different methods in the analysis of this function offers evaluation of the effectiveness of diet therapy from the level of disorders when treatment was started.

According to the World Health Organization, every year about 1 million cases of purulent bacterial meningitis (PBM) are registered in the world, of which 200 thousand cases end in death. Bacterial meningitis is polyethiologic, which makes the task of determining the pathogen the main in the organization of epidemiological surveillance, treatment regimens, planning of preventive and anti-epidemic measures. The quality of laboratory diagnostics has a key influence on this. The true incidence of meningitis of different etiology can be altered at low-efficiency laboratory diagnostics. This work was carried out to assess the effectiveness of existing laboratory methods for the detection of PBM pathogens: Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis; as a part of the programme on sentinel surveillance of invasive bacterial diseases (IBD) carried out by the WHO regional office for Europe in a number of countries in Europe (Ukraine, Belarus), Transcaucasia (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia), Asia (Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan) in the period 2010-2017. 2893 samples of clinical material (CSF and blood) obtained from patients with the meningeal syndrome were studied by four diagnostic methods: cultural method, latex-agglutination test, immunochromatographic test (BinaxNOW), PCR (conventional and real-time), used to identify the following pathogens: Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae. When identifying the causative agents of BM, PCR more effective than culture method is 5 times in detecting N. meningitidis; 3 times in the detection of S. pneumoniae; 4 times the detection of H. influenzae b. Latex-agglutination test and immunochromatographic test allow to increase the identification of pathogens of BM for N. meningitidis - by 35.6%; S. pneumoniae - by 67%; H. influenzae b - by 19.2%, it is possible to set them in the field and at the epidpoint if necessary. When working with clinical material from patients diagnosed with GBM, it is advisable for bacteriological laboratories to complement the culture method of microbiological diagnosis of latex-agglutination test, immunochromatographic test or PCR.

Published: October 2019

Although the biochemistry of the positive effects of medium-chain fatty acids (FA) and triglycerides (TG) of the same name in vivo is not fully understood, food enriched with medium-chain LC and the same TG is effective in patients with type I diabetes, insulin resistance syndrome and in neurodegenerative pathology. Lauric C12 LC is half the FA in coconut oil. Residents of southeast Asia with constant use of coconut oil, have a low level of diseases of the cardiovascular system in the population. With a regulatory intake with food C12:0 laurin FA formed moderate ketosis and neuroprotective effect. Unlike long-chain LC, medium-chain TG cells are not deposited either in visceral fat cells, or in insulin-dependent adipocytes. Medium-chain fatty acids rapidly oxidize mitochondria; the formation of acetyl-CoA cells is used to form ketone bodies, activating thermogenesis in orange and brown adipocytes. Experiments with animals and observations in the clinic showed that taking medium-chain TG with food is more physiological than long-chain oils. This significantly increases the level of cholesterol in high-density lipoproteins. Food enriched with medium chain TG is optimal for increasing the ketone content in blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid without limiting the carbohydrate content in food. The formation of excess ketone bodies by cells can be achieved by activating the metabolic transformations of medium-chain FAs, without fasting and preserving carbohydrates in food. Coconut oil has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, preventing the formation of atherosclerosis and atheromatosis. Effective in the prevention of the pathology of the cardiovascular system is a decrease in food amounts of palmitic acid, an increase in oleic acid, polyene FA with a simultaneous increase in the proportion of medium-chain FA.

Published: October 2019

Strategy scholars have proposed that capacity for managing alliance can be a source of superior performance. This study focuses on the role of this capacity, and investigates how alliance management capability of entrepreneurial firms affects the relationship between a firm’s allying and its performance. Because the capability is inherently unobservable, we take alliance experience and average duration of each alliance as proxy variables for measuring alliance management capability. An analysis of multiple allies of entrepreneurial ventures in Korean photovoltaic industry indicate that capacity for managing varying allies, and alliance type positively moderate the relation between alliance and its innovation outcomes.

Published: October 2019

This paper discusses about the research that had examined the female librarian stereotype in Indonesian films, particularly release during the 2000s. Using the paradigm of cultural and media studies, this research examined six Indonesian films portraying female librarian. The units of analysis in this study are those film scenes that were either set in a library or that portrayed female librarians. The method used to analyze the data source is the Critical Discourse Analysis. The results of this study showed that the female librarians were stereotyped in Indonesian films, such as age, dress and hair style. Librarians were depicted as an old woman with the old-fashioned dress and outdated hairstyle. The film’s portrayal of the female librarians were representative of the stereotype in general, i.e. passive, stuffy, and orderly. But on the other hand they were depicted as a friendly, smart, helpful person, and sometimes breaking the rules. Library profession was portrayed traditionally as “library-keeper”, not as someone who plays a role in information and knowledge dissemination.

Geo-Dynamics, Salinity Gradient, and Vegetation Interdependence in Chilika Lagoon, a Tropical Wetland in Eastern India
Authors: Mishra Sujit Kumar , Mishra Siba Prasad , Das Kalpataru
Published: October 2019

Chilika a shallow brackish lagoon, India, is shrinking for sediment surplus budget. South Mahanadi deltaic branches i.e. Daya and Bhargavi terminate at the southwest swamps of the Lagoon. The annual average salinity of the lake was depleted from 22.31ppt (1957-58) to 8.5 ppt. (1999-2000) as the mixing process of saline and fresh water was influenced from 1995. Trepidation of conversion of  Chilika to a atrophied fresh water lake due to blooming population and their hydrologic interventions like Kolleru lake in (India), Aral Lake (Uzbekistan) was apprehended by 1950’s and was alarming by 1999 when the shallow inlet(s) shifted extreme north. The shallow mud flats of lean salinity were reclaimed further for agriculture. The ecology and biodiversity degraded with substantial pecuniary loss to the lagoon dependents. Anthropogenic interventions like, Hirakud dam (1956), dredging of Sipakuda Inlet (2000), Naraj barrage at delta head (2004), Gobardhanpur barrages (1998) and Gabkund cut with weir (2014) were made to the hydraulic system. The deteriorating health, perturbed biodiversity and declined ecosystem of the lagoon has forced to have a comparative study of the various morphologic changes passed over the Chilika with time. The meteorological, hydrologic and the salinity study of the lagoon area for the period 1990 to 2016 have shown changes. Topographic study using GIS is developed by collecting data from Glovis Classic (Google) and the interpretation is done using ERDAS 9.2 software for various geomorphic features (1984 and 2017) before and after the current anthropogenic interventions and compared with previous studies.
The Effect of Sustainibility Reporting Disclosure and Its Impact on Companies Financial Performance
Authors: Hardi Enny , Chairina Chairina
Published: October 2019

The purpose of this research was to examine empirically the effect of sustainability reporting disclosure on company performance. Sustainability reporting is a report that measures, discloses and shows the responsibility of the company to internal and external parties as an accountability form of organization performance in order to gain continuous development purpose. Sustainability reporting becomes trend and need for companies to disclose economic, environmental, and social performance to stakeholders. Samples used as many as 40 observations were derived from companies that consistently become ISRA (Indonesia Sustainability Reporting Award) nomination and listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during 2016-2017. Sustainability reporting measured by GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) continuous reporting guideline-G4 with 91 indicator items and financial performance measured by Return on Assets (ROA). The analysis method used was Multiple Linear Regression. The results of the research show that Economic Dimension Disclosure (EC) in sustainability reporting has effect on financial performance. Whereas, Environmental Dimension (EN) and Social Dimension (SO) have no effects. The condition indicates that sustainability reporting in short term has not been able to affect companies financial performance.
Population Density and Habitat Characteristics of Nipa Fruticans in Degraded Mangrove Ecosystem (Case Study in Mahakam Delta, East Kalimantan)
Authors: Lestari Nurul Silva , Noor’an R. Fatmi
Published: October 2019

Mahakam Delta is one of the largest mangrove ecosystem areas in East Kalimantan, which is dominated by nipa (Nypa fruticans). This paper investigates the population density of nipa and measures habitat characteristics in the area, which represents the condition of mangrove ecosystem that has received heavy pressures as a result of the increase in human activities.A total of 30 plots, size of 100m2 each plot, were sampled from six locations in the study site. In each plot, the number of individual, stalk, leaves, fruit and flower of nipa was recorded. Nipa zone adjacent to active ponds area had the density of 106 individual/ha with 913 stalks ha-1. The leaf density was 336 leaves ha-1, fruit density was 12 fruits ha-1 and flower density was 12 flowers/ha. Furthermore, nipa density in locations faraway from active ponds area was 74 individual/ha with 861 stalks/ha. While the leaf density was 239 leaves/ha, fruit density in this area was 2 fruits/ha and flower density was 9 flowers/ha. Result also showed that nipa habitat in study site is characterized by high turbidity and low salinity. Among other parameters, tidal level has strongest correlation to nipa population density. This study can also be considered as a preliminary assessment to develop mangrove ecosystem rehabilitation action plans in Mahakam Delta and to consider the potential use of nipa as an alternative source of livelihood for local communities living in the vicinity of the Mahakam Delta area.

Les variétés résistantes aux maladies cryptogamiques de la vigne sont porteuses de beaucoup d’espoirs dans l’optique d’une baisse de l’utilisation des produits phytosanitaires. Elles semblent être une alternative crédible aux cépages traditionnels car les vins qui en sont issus devraient trouver preneurs sur le marché, d’après une étude publiée par des chercheurs de l’Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin (Université de Bordeaux, France).

Phenology is concerned with the periodic phenomenon of the vine growing cycle (bud burst, flowering, veraison (color change), in relation to the climate.  It is a veritable biological clock of the vines.   The timing of the numerous operations in the vineyard (phytosanitary protection, defoliation, crop thinning….) is undertaken in accordance with the phenological stages. Since the precociousness of the latter is directly linked to the temperature, the phenology is also a marker of global warming.

It has been regarded that Vibrio cholerae O1 inhabit in environmental water. As many cholera patients emerge in Kolkata, it has been thought that V. cholerae O1 is easily detected in environmental water in Kolkata. However, the detection of V. cholerae O1 is rare, though other V. cholerae (NAG Vibrio) is constantly detected. To clear the reason for the difference of the detection rate of two Vibrios, we examined the viability of V. cholera O1 and NAG Vibrios in low ionic strength aquatic medium. We observed greater declining viability of V. cholerae O1 possessing cholera toxin gene (ctx) in low ionic strength solution, but the decline of NAG Vibrios non-possessing ctx is small. To evaluate the concerning of ctx in the viability, we examined the viabilities of V. cholerae O1which do not possess ctx and NAG Vibrios possessing ctx under the same condition. The result indicated that the existence of the ctx induces the decrease the viability of the host in low ionic strength solution. The decrease observed in this experiment might relate with the low detection of V. cholerae O1 possessing ctx in environmental water, though NAG Vibrio is constantly detected.
