On the semantics and discourse functions of the aorist and the pluperfect in Modern Serbian: A study of Milorad Pavić’s novel The Inner Side of the Wind
Authors: Egorova Maria
Published: June 2022

The article deals with the semantics and discourse functions of the aorist and the pluperfect in the modern Serbian language. It considers the functioning of the aorist and the pluperfect in the system with the extended perfect. For the aorist, a bunch of meanings is proposed that includes both typologically trivial aoristic meaning and some less predictable meanings (new and / or unexpected event; event that has an actual result). For the pluperfect, the meaning of actual result in the past is claimed to be the most essential one. Among the discourse functions of the aorist and the pluperfect a so-called focusing function is claimed to be the crucial one — i.e., the function of marking the most salient events in the narrative.
The structural representation of ergativity in Northeast Caucasian
Authors: Lyutikova Ekaterina
Published: June 2022

The paper discusses the syntactic mechanisms underlying morphological ergativity in Khwarshi (Tsezic / Northeast Caucasian) and argues for a structural representation of the functional opposition of case forms — absolutive vs. other grammatical cases (including the ergative) vs. semantic cases — found in Northeast Caucasian languages. Specifi cally, it shows that the Khwarshi ergative DP is best analyzed as structurally case-marked, thus providing support for Maria Polinsky’s analysis of the ergative in Tsez, another language belonging to the same family. It also claims that among the non-absolutive subjects found in Tsez, ergative and dative subjects exhibit similar behavior and therefore pattern together structurally, while locative subjects and non-subject oblique arguments should be treated differently, as PPs. This claim is supported by a novel diagnostic of the syntactic category of case forms based on the selectional restrictions of the Khwarshi attributive morpheme. Finally, the paper argues against the widely accepted view that absolutives represent structurally case-marked DPs and provides evidence for their case-less DP status.
The origins of the blood transfusion
Authors: Marinozzi Silvia , Messineo Daniela , Sanese Giuseppe
Published: June 2022

This paper deals with the literary debate on the first experiments regarding blood transfusion on human beings between 1667 and 1668 in Europe, with particular attention to the less-known experimental research, carried out in Italy. The authors examine the details of the experimental developments, focusing on the techniques and instruments used by physicians involved in this new surgical approach, with special attention to the Italian debate and experimentations. The article suggests that transfusion was considered a part of what we could call “emergency surgery”. In this framework, Italian transfusional pioneers played a central role in the improvement and transmission of a discipline that was still in its dawning throughout Europe. Moreover, the manuscript highlights the contribution of the “chirurgia infusoria” as an innovative therapeutic system for an immediate and rapid recovery. From this perspective, blood transfusion represents a surgical practice for reanimation and resuscitation. The objective of this work was to analyze the importance of foreign literature and the English and French disputes presented by Davia in Italy, which made them known. Despite foreign prohibition in Italy, experiments with animal-to-human transfusions continued after 1648. A papal bull excommunicating scientists for conducting such research has never been found.
Prilog proučavanju početaka medicine narodnog zdravlja od 1912. do 1919. s naglaskom na djelovanje Andrije Štampara
Authors: Salopek Bogavčić Iva
Published: June 2022

U radu se propituju preteče razvoja medicine narodnog zdravlja od 1912. i djelovanje Andrije Štampara kao općinskog liječnika na području novogradiške Posavine od 1913. do 1918. Razmatraju se preteče medicine narodnog zdravlja kao pojave društava za čuvanje narodnog zdravlja u Beogradu i Zagrebu te povezanost Andrije Štampara s tim društvima. Analizom arhivskoga gradiva Hrvatskoga državnog arhiva, zakona, časopisa i novina pokušava se povezati teorijska faza djelovanja Andrije Štampara s praktičnom fazom koja započinje od 1912. radom u Karlovcu i nastavlja se preseljenjem u Novu Gradišku 1913. U radu se pokušava utvrditi koliko su iskustva u saniranju epidemija kolere i boginja u novogradiškoj Posavini i rad u ratnoj bolnici Crvenog križa u Novoj Gradiški utjecali na stvaranje osnovnih principa socijalne medicine i javnog zdravstva. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na set preventivno-epidemioloških mjera koje je Štampar primjenjivao tijekom epidemija 1913. – 1916. te ih je zaključno nazvao “savršenim”, što je pridonijelo i njihovoj implementaciji u postulate medicine narodnog zdravlja desetak godina poslije.

Published: June 2022

The Family Planning Program (FPP) is one of the strategies carried out by the government to suppress the increase in population growth. Unfortunately, women of reproductive age (WRA) often stop participating in FPP or drop it out, unaware of increasing the risk of conception. This study uses secondary data from the 2017 IDHS for 945 WRAs who have used modern FPP methods. It uses cross-tabulation to determine the distribution of husbands' approval regarding the FPP method, wanting more children, side effects of family planning, the role of family planning service providers, and the incidence of dropping out of FPP in North Sumatra Province. The results indicated that 238 out of 707 WRAs (25.8%) dropped out of FPP. The FPP dropping out in North Sumatra Province mostly occurred to WRAs who experienced side effects of FPP methods (238 WRAs) and who changed their minds to want more children (67 WRAs). The BKKBN of North Sumatra Province must provide training to FPP service providers on the side effects of the methods to improve their counseling skills, which must be used properly to serve the WRAs before they decide to use contraceptives.
Acceptance of e-Learning Applications at Indonesian Universities Using the Extended Technology Acceptance Model
Authors: Hafidz Mohammad Al
Published: June 2022

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has an impact on the implementation of distance learning (e-learning) in Indonesian universities. However, the adoption of LMS technology as an e-learning medium in Indonesia has many obstacles, ranging from internet access, content, to users. This study was made to determine the perception of acceptance of the use of e-learning applications using the Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This research can be used as a strategy for implementing e-learning in higher education so that it can be accepted by students and then students really intend to use it. The respondents of this study were UHW Perbanas students with a sampling technique of 100 students spread over almost all study programs. The research data is primary data with the technique of collecting it using a questionnaire. Data analysis techniques with SmartPLS application tools. The results of research processing showed that all instruments were declared valid and reliable. The results of the hypothesis test indicate that the perceived usefulness of e-learning applications is significantly influenced positively by the characteristics of the lecturers and the quality of the content. Students' perception of ease of using e-learning applications is significantly influenced positively by content design and accessibility of e-learning.

Authors: Vinshula Joeberate , Johnson Avita , Menezes Anna Rachel , Joseph Merlyn , C Srilekha , S Priya , Jennifer Jessi
Published: June 2022

Background: Appropriate infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices are a key strategy to reduce under-5 mortality. Increasing mobile technology penetration in rural areas can influence IYCF practices. Aims: This study aims to assess IYCF practices among mothers of children under 5, in a rural maternity hospital in Ramanagara district and its association with the use of various mass media including internet and smartphones. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 89 mothers and a pre-tested face-validated semi-structured interview schedule was administered to collect information regarding sociodemographic details, IYCF practices, and use of media. Results: The mean age of the study population was 23.84±3.5 years. About 44.9% of them had their last child in the age group of 6–24 months. About 87.6% of them were breastfed within the 1st h of birth. The mean age of starting complementary feeding was 7±2.6 months. About 98.9% had access to a smartphone, however, only 19.1% used WhatsApp videos and messages and 12.3% internet to search for information regarding IYCF practices. Almost all respondents reported health-care providers as their primary source of information regarding IYCF practices. Conclusion: IYCF practices of the study population were better than national average. These findings highlight the importance of the role of grassroot level workers and primary care physicians in imparting knowledge among mothers in IYCF practices. The scope of using media to bring about behavior change communication in this context can be explored.
Super refractory status epilepticus in a parturient with preeclampsia undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia
Authors: Rathour Kritika , Thakur Anil Kumar , Lall Ritu , Satija Shilpi , Gupta Soumya
Published: June 2022

Super refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is a rare but serious neurological emergency. This case report aims to highlight the challenges faced during the diagnosis and management of SRSE in a 36-year-old preeclamptic patient taken for cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. The patient developed a seizure episode minutes after administration of intrathecal bupivacaine, necessitating administration of general anesthesia. Postoperatively, SRSE developed which did not respond to multiple anti-epileptics and thiopentone sodium infusion. Although the clinical picture and magnetic resonance imaging findings supported the diagnosis of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, the role of intrathecal bupivacaine in causing SRSE could not be ruled out due to the temporal association of events. The patient had a prolonged and complicated hospital stay and despite a multimodal approach to the treatment, suffered neurological sequelae.

Esta obra presenta o estado da cuestión da lingua nosa no exterior da autonomía compostelá. Ela invade diversos territorios metodolóxicos e foca o obxecto de estudo desde distintos puntos de vista. O primeiro, diacrónico. Nel o autor fai historia da lingua nos espazos estremeiros, incluída a explicación máis ben difícil do galego do Val do Ellas. Desde o segundo punto de vista, sincrónico, o profesor fai exposición descritiva das falas eonaviegas, ancarás, bercianas, das Portelas e de Calabor, e das dos tres concellos do Ellas. E iso segundo a metódica da dialectoloxía e da xeografía lingüística. Finalmente, Xosé Henrique encara con decisión a actual realidade sociolingüística do galego exterior. Coa súa obxectividade, termina por denunciar a situación de subalternidade (verdadeira persecución nalgúns casos) en que se acha a lingua e a cultura nacional na Galicia exterior. Este libro servirá par afortalar a reivindicación do noso idioma nos territorios estremeiros e será, sen dúbida, politicamente útil.
Financial reporting and book-tax conformity: A review of the issues
Authors: Menicacci Luca
Published: June 2022

This work reviews accounting research on book-tax conformity (BTC) with specific reference to financial reporting issues. There is an ongoing debate in the accounting literature about the impact of BTC levels (weak/strong) on accounting quality and on tax avoidance. Policymakers have discussed at length the opportunity to reform BTC as well. Proponents of a strong BTC argue that it can deter both financial reporting ma-nipulation and aggressive tax planning by creating contrasting incentives between book earnings maximisation and taxable income minimisation. Further controls on book earnings assured by taxing authorities will reinforce such beneficial ef-fects. Opponents of a strong BTC suggest that financial accounting decisions should not interfere with tax accounting and vice versa, as financial reporting and tax reporting have different purposes. Furthermore, under a strong BTC, managers will tend to smooth earnings to minimise income taxes, thus reducing earnings in-formativeness. Even if a strand of research based on the Tax Reform Act (TRA 86) in the US corroborates the position of opponents, a large body of literature formed in international settings has not yet reached a consensus over the conse-quences of BTC. This circumstance makes BTC a relevant topic to the current de-bate on financial reporting quality.
Il dire e il fare delle relazioni familiari. L'interesse del minore fra il "dictum" della decisione e il "coactum" dell'esecuzione
Authors: Greco Riccardo
Published: June 2022

L'articolo affronta il tema del ruolo e delle modalità attribuite nel disegno della riforma al processo esecutivo, rilevando che l'intera prospettiva del testo esclude l'idea della definizione di un'azione specifica, destinando l'azione giudiziaria alla rimozione degli ostacoli e non all'imposizione di un comando. Viene quindi esaminato il ruolo residuale assegnato all'esecuzione coattiva delle decisioni e le questioni poste dalla riforma in tema di giudice competente per l'esecuzione.
Il nuovo articolo 38 delle disposizioni attuative del codice civile: questioni di diritto intertemporale
Authors: Zollo Mauro
Published: June 2022

L'autore analizza il nuovo istituto di "cessione di competenza" del tribunale per i minorenni in favore del Giudice della separazione o del divorzio, conseguentemente all'instaurazione del giudizio civile quando sia già pendente il giudizio minorile, disciplinato dall'articolo unico, comma 28 della legge 26 novembre 2021, n. 206. Esso costituisce un'assoluta innovazione, che "silenziosamente" modifica il concetto teorico della competenza quale presupposto processuale, valutabile solo con riguardo al momento genetico del contenzioso. Ulteriormente, è foriero di divergenze interpretative in merito alla sua applicazione ai procedimenti già pendenti innanzi al tribunale per i minorenni al momento dell'entrata in vigore della legge n. 206 del 2021. Infatti, appare dubbio se, ai fini della applicabilità delle nuove norme, rilevi solo la circostanza che il procedimento di separazione o divorzio abbia avuto inizio decorso il centottantesimo giorno di entrata in vigore della legge, o se, piuttosto, debba ritenersi che anche il procedimento minorile, per quanto già pendente, debba essere stato instaurato nel suddetto lasso temporale.
La funzione vagale: un link fra psiche, cervello e corpo
Authors: Minelli Andrea , Di Palma Michael
Published: June 2022

Il nervo vago influenza i nostri stati psicologici e la flessibilità delle risposte adattative alle sollecitazioni ambientali e modula la regolazione dinamica dei sistemi biologici coinvolti nell'allostasi. L'output vagale è modulato dall'attività coordinata di strutture cerebrali fra loro interconnesse a formare una rete gerarchica multi-livello, il central autonomic network (CAN), che realizza l'integrazione neuroviscerale tramite anelli multipli di retroazione iterativa centro-periferia (cervello-corpo) operanti a vari livelli di complessità nel nevrasse; ogni livello gerarchico della rete elabora e integra nuovi tipi di informazione rispetto al livello precedente, e contribuisce in maniera più flessibile e contesto-specifica alla modulazione del tono vagale. L'output vagale si associa ad una varietà di processi neuropsichici, come gli stati affettivi, la regolazione delle emozioni, le funzioni esecutive. La compromissione della funzione vagale, associata a bassi indici di variabilità della frequenza cardiaca (HRV), si accompagna a rigidità delle risposte psicofisiologiche, disregolazione dei processi allostatici e all'incremento del rischio per patologie mediche e neuropsichiatriche.
L'importanza della biodiversità ambientale urbana su salute e benessere, dal microbiota al cervello sociale
Authors: Tonon Chiara
Published: June 2022

Il microbiota ambientale si sovrappone e stimola quello umano, contribuendo alla sua diversità. L'abbondanza e la varietà di microrganismi negli ambienti urbani è in continua diminuzione e negli ultimi anni l'ipotesi che la perdita di biodiversità porti ad una disregolazione immunitaria ed a conseguenti patologie croniche è sempre più evidente, visto che ambiente, microbiota umano e sistema immunitario sono sistemi che interagiscono costantemente. Mentre in Occidente gli studiosi si concentrano soprattutto su allergie e patologie respiratorie, i giapponesi indagano anche l'impatto sistemico del verde urbano e del paesaggio arboreo, dimostrandone l'indiscutibile effetto positivo sull'essere umano. Non è ancora chiaro però quale sia la funzione che, la variabilità della specie all'interno delle aree verdi, svolge sulla salute. L'ipotesi più interessante è legata al ruolo che i segnali microbici possono avere sul neurosviluppo fisiologico e sull'influenzare, a livello cerebrale, la programmazione dei comportamenti sociali. È di primaria importanza sensibilizzare ad una salute globale, partendo da un'educazione sistemica, che curi la plant blindness, evidenziando il valore della diversità biologica intesa come biblioteca della vita, capitale umano fondamentale per permettere l'adattamento ai cambiamenti e l'allenamento del sistema immunitario nella difesa da malattie esistenti e del progresso.

Il centro-sinistra pavese e il quadro politico. Qualche riflessione
Authors: Lombardi Pierangelo
Published: June 2022

Tra le prime esperienze messe in atto a livello nazionale, la formula politica di centrosinistra ha costituito per ben tredici anni (1960-1973) il quadro di riferimento politicoistituzionale per Pavia e per l'Amministrazione provinciale. Il saggio propone una prima riflessione su un'esperienza, certamente inedita per i tempi. Ripercorrerne la storia, sia pure ancora nelle sue linee generali, significa individuarne le specificità riconducibili alla sua difficile gestazione; ricostruirne le fasi del dibattito più vivace e dello sforzo propositivo messo in atto, almeno parzialmente, in una prima fase; mettere a fuoco la "mutazione genetica" successiva alle elezioni amministrative del novembre del 1964, e, poi, il timido, ma inutile tentativo di rilancio dei primi anni Settanta, anche sulla spinta dei movimenti sociali nel frattempo scesi in campo. Ma ripercorrerne la storia vuol dire anche, al di là della fragilità e delle contraddizioni del quadro politico, saper cogliere, in tempi di grandi passioni individuali e collettive, il profilo di una città attraversata da una crescita economica e demografica straordinaria.
Vigne e vini in Oltrepò Pavese. Dalla lunga transizione allo sviluppo
Authors: Maffi Luciano
Published: June 2022

L'evoluzione della viticoltura e dell'industria enologica in Oltrepò Pavese dagli anni Cinquanta agli anni Ottanta del Novecento si caratterizza per i numerosi cambiamenti che hanno interessato la coltivazione della vite, la produzione e il commercio del vino. In quel periodo, accanto a una serie di fattori critici, si assiste al verificarsi di fattori positivi quali il miglioramento della qualità del prodotto e l'affermarsi delle prime forme di tutela delle zone di origine. Tali aspetti hanno consentito alla produzione locale di raggiungere un livello qualitativo nettamente migliore, in particolare a partire dagli anni Ottanta, rispetto agli andamenti precedenti che erano maggiormente focalizzati sul potenziamento di tipo quantitativo. È degli stessi decenni la tipizzazione in termini di vini prodotti che permettono all'Oltrepò di contraddistinguersi a livello regionale e nazionale, specialmente nella produzione di Spumante Metodo Classico. L'attività di Antonio Giuseppe Denari e di Bianchina Alberici, figure emblematiche della vitivinicoltura oltrepadana, ha consentito di analizzarne vari aspetti caratterizzanti lo sviluppo in anni di grandi trasformazioni sociali ed economiche.
Vigevano e la Lomellina oltre il "miracolo": un'espansione senza crescita
Authors: Balduzzi Giacomo
Published: June 2022

L'articolo approfondisce una specifica fase dello sviluppo economico, sociale e istituzionale del territorio di Vigevano e della Lomellina, quella del secondo dopoguerra, osservando l'evoluzione del distretto da un punto di vista storico, rispetto alle premesse che l'hanno preceduta e alle conseguenze successive. Le caratteristiche di Vigevano e della Lomellina, nonostante le apparenti somiglianze, si rivelano in realtà differenti rispetto ad altri territori in altre aree del Paese. Al fine di rendere conto di tale specificità è necessario ricostruire i processi di industrializzazione di questo territorio in una logica di lungo periodo e comprendere così l'evoluzione del sistema produttivo alla luce del peculiare contesto territoriale e del suo sviluppo.

Authors: Shaaban Fatma K. M. , Abo-El Wafa Thauria M. M. , Mahmoud Thanaa Sh. M.
Published: June 2022

This experiment was carried out during the 2020 and 2021 seasons to evaluate the physiological and pathological effects of edible coating with gelatin 8%, clove oil 1%, and olive oil 1% separately, or gelatin incorporated with clove oil or olive oil, on maintaining quality and control blue mold development caused by Penicillium expansum on Anna apple fruits under cold storage conditions. In vitro, both oils were evaluated on linear growth of Penicillium expansum at concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 1%. Clove oil at 1% had a high efficacy at inhibiting the mycelial growth of Penicillium expansum with 77.8%. The results showed that all studied coating treatments were effective in controlling blue mold in Anna apple during cold storage for 4 weeks in artificial infection and 12 weeks in natural infection compared to control. Also, all coating treatments had a significant effect on delaying changes in fruit weight loss percentage, color values (L* and h°), hardness, respiration rate, TSS: acid ratio, total phenolic content (TPC), and activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalysis (CAT), especially coating by gelatin mixed with olive oil. Therefore, it could be recommended that coating Anna apple fruits by gelatin 8% mixed with (clove oil 1% or olive oil 1%) to improve their quality and storability during cold storage.

Published: June 2022

La acelerada problemática ambiental representa uno de los principales desafíos mundiales de la interacción territorial de la sociedad presente, puesto que se ha construido sobre la destrucción de la naturaleza, como se documenta por las repercusiones de la industrialización, las nuevas tecnologías y la competitividad comercial; estas prácticas inciden en la COVID-19 y los procesos disruptivos derivados del gran confinamiento. Es decir, se llegó a la sociedad de alto riesgo, en la que el problema político central ya no es solo la distribución de la riqueza, sino el impacto de los riesgos ambientales, tecnológicos y de salud. Este documento analiza los desafíos de las instituciones de educación superior (IES) en un contexto de emergencia sanitaria, en el que se muestra progreso, como una serie de avances en escala global y regional, pero la pandemia detonó en acentuar las debilidades que obligan a dialogar hacia una política de educación superior sustentable.

Extended Rankine failure criteria for concrete
Authors: Windisch Andor
Published: June 2022

As possible failure criteria MC2010 refers to those of Rankine, Drucker-Prager and Mohr-Coulomb, respectively, and to modifications or combinations of them. After a brief overview of these failure criteria the characteristics of Mohr-circle are described. Next chapter discusses why the Modified Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion fails in case of concrete. Displaying the Mohr-circles of different bi- and triaxial test series reveal that neither the straight nor the parabolic failure criteria fit. The failure patterns of uniaxial compressive and tensile test specimens prove that concrete fails due to principal tensile stresses/strains in separation and concrete is not a frictional material. The proposed Extended Rankine failure criteria are based directly on the principal stresses. The criteria limit the greatest- and the actual smallest principal stress, respectively. This latter is function of the two other principal stresses. It is shown that the Ultimate Strength Surface cannot be properly described as stated by CEB Bulletin Nr. 156.
Application of the Weibull distribution to the description of the skew distribution of concrete compressive strength
Authors: Kausay Tibor

Brexit and its Implications on the Freedom of Religion and Belief in the UK
Authors: Cinar Ozgur H.
Published: June 2022

This article examines what the implications of Brexit might be on the freedom of religion and belief, one of the most significant freedoms for social identity, in light of the ongoing debate concerning the political, economic, social and cultural effects of Brexit on the United Kingdom (UK). There is particular anxiety over increasing religious hate crime since the European Union (EU) Referendum of 23 June 2016, with people wondering if the tradition of tolerance in Britain will be affected. Consequently, in this article the following questions will be asked: Will Brexit seriously undermine the existential conditions of this freedom? Will Brexit enable the UK to present itself as a haven for people suffering because of restrictions on religious symbols introduced in Continental Europe? Are Government plans to prevent a rise in Brexit-related religious hate crimes sufficient? How should such hate crimes be combatted?

Under the cover of these general arguments, International Journal of Religion aims to be a venue for scholarly discussion on religion in reference to society, politics, economics and relevant issues and topics. Therefore, it wants to be a suitable place to examine various topics, including, inter alia, the late Samuel Huntington’s controversial – yet influential – ‘clash of civilisations’ paradigm, the international effects of migration, religion’s impact on the climate emergency, the influence of religious non-state actors on international outcomes, and how religion can affect political extremism and terrorism. With this aim, in this issue, we are pleased to present four articles offering analysis on the impact of Brexit on religious hate crime in the UK, populism and crisis of American Methodism, a game theory approach to interfaith dialogue during conflict and a review of religion in International Relations Theory
Treatment of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in patients with non-hematologic malignancies
Authors: Kuter David J.
Published: June 2022

Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is a common complication of the treatment of non-hematologic malignancies. Many patient-related variables (e.g., age, tumor type, number of prior chemotherapy cycles, amount of bone marrow tumor involvement) determine the extent of CIT. CIT is related to the type and dose of chemotherapy, with regimens containing gemcitabine, platinum, or temozolomide producing it most commonly. Bleeding and the need for platelet transfusions in CIT are rather uncommon except in patients with platelet counts below 25x109/L in whom bleeding rates increase significantly and platelet transfusions are the only treatment. Nonetheless, platelet counts below 70x109/L present a challenge. In patients with such counts, it is important to exclude other causes of thrombocytopenia (medications, infection, thrombotic microangiopathy, post-transfusion purpura, coagulopathy and immune thrombocytopenia). If these are not present, the common approach is to reduce chemotherapy dose intensity or switch to other agents. Unfortunately decreasing relative dose intensity is associated with reduced tumor response and remission rates. Thrombopoietic growth factors (recombinant human thrombopoietin, pegylated human megakaryocyte growth and development factor, romiplostim, eltrombopag, avatrombopag and hetrombopag) improve pretreatment and nadir platelet counts, reduce the need for platelet transfusions, and enable chemotherapy dose intensity to be maintained. National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines permit their use but their widespread adoption awaits adequate phase III randomized, placebo-controlled studies demonstrating maintenance of relative dose intensity, reduction of platelet transfusions and bleeding, and possibly improved survival. Their potential appropriate use also depends on consensus by the oncology community as to what constitutes an appropriate pretreatment platelet count as well as identification of patient-related and treatment variables that might predict bleeding.

Background: Colonoscopy of the lower gastrointestinal tract has both diagnostic and therapeutic value.

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the indications, findings and complications of children who underwent the colonoscopy.

Materials & Methods: We studied the children between 1 and 18 years of age who presented with various indications and underwent both diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy in the Department of PGN, BSMMU, Dhaka from January 2015 to February 2018.

Results: Among the total 332 patients reviewed,61.7% (205) were male and 38.3% (127)with a male to female ratio of 1.61:1. The most common (69.8%) indication was lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) followed by diarrhea (15.9%) and altered bowel (14%) as well. No serious complications occurred during the procedures. A total of 211 patients (63.5%) received a diagnosis, including 137 (41.3%) patients with colorectal polyps, erythema 40(12%) and diffuse nonspecific colitis 34(10.2%).Ninety four percent polyps are located in recto-sigmoid region. Juvenile polyp was the most common pathological findings.

Conclusion: LGIB is the commonest indication for pediatric colonoscopy. Pediatric colonoscopy is effective diagnostic as well as therapeutic option for lower GI pathology.

Introduction: cervical cancer is the second most common cancer of women in Bangladesh. Information about the extent of any cancer is critical for treatment planning .For the management of cervical cancer clinical staging is the first and foremost task and disease stage is the single most important prognostic factor.

Objective: To know the distribution of clinical stages of cervical cancer, to validate the revised 2018 FIGO staging system for cervical cancer with a particular focus on stage 1B and to know the differences in distribution of stages among two cohort groups.

Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted among two cohorts of cervical cancer patients. First group of cervical cancer patients underwent Examination Under Anesthesia (EUA) for clinical staging during December 2011 to July 2017 and second cohort was the same type of patients undergoing same procedure by different group of observer from August 2017 to June 2019. Chi square test was done to know the difference in stages between two groups. P value <0.05 was considered as significant difference.

Results: In the first (8.12.11-1.7.17) cohort ( n—479) maximum ( 68.21%) patients were between 41 to 60 years old. Similarly in the second ( 2.8.17—30.6.19 ) cohort ( n—256) maximum ( 63.45%) patients were between 41 to 60 years of age. Significant difference observed in the measurement of the size of the tumour when it was 2.1 to 4 cm in size. ( p value-0.001) . Great difference observed in performing cystoscopy during EUA ( p value -0.001) between two cohorts. In the first cohort 27.39% and in 2nd cohort only 2.73% patients underwent cystoscopy. Differences also observed in diagnosing stage 11A, B and 4 A diseases.

Conclusion : The 2018 FIGO staging system for cervical cancer is useful to distinguish stage 1B disease and it is very fruitful in taking decision regarding management. An important information obtained from this analysis is that great variation can occur in diagnosing stages of cervical cancer by different group of observer.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) is one of the most popular method of family planning. The Aim of the study was to explore the effects of long-term use of Depomedroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) which is the most commonly used LARC, on serum lipid profile.

Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, during the period December 2015 to September 2016. A total 70 married women at the age range of 20-35 years attending, the family planning clinic of BSMMU were included in this study. Out of them 35 subjects who had been using DMPA for ³ two years uninterruptedly were considered as cases and another 35 subjects who did not use any hormonal contraceptives were labeled as control. In both the groups, age and BMI were matched. All the study subjects in both groups were apparently healthy. Fasting blood samples were collected from each subject for the estimation of Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDLC) and Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDLC). The data were collected in a pre-designed data sheet and analyzed with student T-test for the statistical significance.

Results: Serum TC and LDLC level in group-I (cases) were significantly higher compared to group-II (control) and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). Serum High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDLC) level in group-I was lower than group-II which was also statistically significant (p=0.001). Serum Triglyceride level in group-I was higher than group- II, however the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.177).

Conclusion: DMPA use for ³ two years increases serum TC and LDLC and decrease serum HDLC, which may increase the risk of atherosclerosis.

Adenomyosis and Infertility
Authors: Begum Mosammat Rashida , Ehsan Nazia
Published: June 2022

Adenomyosis is an abnormal growth of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium causing diffusely enlarged uterus. Due to the abnormal growth of endometrial glands and stroma it causes severe pain during menstruation. Though USG and MRI can help, histopathology of the lesion is confirmatory diagnosis of the disease. It is one of the important causes of infertility with very poor prognosis. Any treatment modalities can fail when lesion is diffuse in nature. Surgery in the form of total hysterectomy is the definitive treatment for complete cure but hysterectomy is not logical for infertile patients. So, fertility sparing surgery can be done to improve fertility. Medical treatment in the form of GnRHa and different form of progesterones can be used to eliminate symptoms and to reduce the adenomyotic mass, which may improve the fertility status. Non-surgical High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is another option to reduce the size of the lesion. For reproduction active treatment is ideal to accelerate live birth. Controled ovarian hyperstimulation and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) can be done if tube(s) are patent. If not, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is the treatment of choice for this group of patients.
