Authors: M Boaz
Published: September 2022

Background: Palpable breast lumps are a common manifestation encountered by physicians during clinical practice. The use of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) method has proven to be quick, simple and cost-effective in the evaluation of these lumps for benign, atypical and malignant changes. This study aims to determine the type of breast lesions diagnosed by FNAC and to determine the age-wise distribution for such lesions. Methodology: A prospective study consisting of 291 females presenting with palpable breast lesions was carried out at Makerere College of Health Sciences (MakCHS) pathology laboratory from January 2019 to May 2019. FNAC results were grouped into tier five reporting categories as C1, C2, C3, C4 & C5 in accordance to the International Academy of Cytology (IAC). Results: Out of the 291 cases examined, 14 (4.8%) were insufficient (C1), 192 (66%) were benign (C2), 9 (3.0%) were atypical (C3), 15 (5.2%) were suspicious of malignancy (C4) & 61 (21%) were malignant (C5). In the benign category, lesions of fibroadenoma were the most commonly diagnosed constituting 110/192 (57.3%) whereas under the malignant category lesions of invasive ductal carcinoma were the most commonly diagnosed constituting 27/61(44.3%). The peak age group for benign lesions was 21-30 years whereas the peak age group for malignant lesions was 41-50 years. Conclusion: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was found to be an effective diagnostic tool in the categorization of palpable breast lumps into benign, malignant, atypical, suspicious and inadequate categories.
Cytological Presentation of Hydatid Cyst- A Rare Case Report
Authors: K Akhtar
Published: September 2022

Hydatid cysts is a zoonosis caused by an infestation with larval tapeworms Echinococcus granulosus. It affects mainly the liver and is extensively distributed worldwide, but is endemic in sheep-raising regions. The definitive diagnosis of liver echinococcosis requires a combination of imaging, serologic, and immunologic studies. However, specific diagnosis is based on microscopic examination of the cyst fluid with demonstration of scolices, hooklets or fragments of laminated membrane and occasional multinucleated giant cells. We present herewith a case of hydatid cyst diagnosed cytologically, in a 30 years female who presented with non-radiating pain in right abdomen.

Authors: EI Bon
Published: September 2022

The proposed article is an experience of creating a review on the pathology of higher nervous activity. The manifestations of the functional pathology of higher nervous activity are varied, but primarily they relate to mental functions. Since the pathology of higher nervous activity is manifested not only in deviations of mental functions, but also in violations of other functions of the body (regulation of the somatovegetative sphere), the study of its mechanisms is carried out taking into account changes in the whole organism, including the humoral system. Deepening and detailing the pathogenesis of disorders of higher nervous activity will serve as a fundamental basis for the prevention and correction of diseases of the nervous system.

Authors: CL Cáceres
Published: September 2022

Background: The use of intradomicile residual insecticide on a large scale is a proven and efficacious intervention against malaria mosquito vectors. The objective of the study was determined the bio-efficacy and resistance of fenitrothion insecticide against the mosquito An. (Nyssorhynchus.) albimanus Wiedemann . Methods: This study included seven communities located in different endemic regions where fenitrothion is used to control An. (Nys.) albimanus populations. The test of bio-efficacy and susceptibility were conducted following the WHO standard bioassay methodology. Results: The average percent mortality of An. (Nys.) albimanus exposed to fenitrothion in the seven communities tested were 96% and 92% for the first two months. This bio-efficacy was maintained until the fifth month with 81% mortality in communities with high IRS coverage. Anopheles (Nys.) albimanus was susceptible to the organophosphate insecticides fenitrothion and malathion, as well as to carbamate propoxur but resistant to pirimiphos-methyl and chlorpyrifos. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that fenitrothion maintains an elevated insecticide residuality and toxic effect on different types of surfaces until the fifth month post-application. Furthermore, An. (Nys.) albimanus remains highly susceptible to this insecticide, providing a high degree of protection against mosquito bites inside households, and interrupting malaria transmission in places with high IRS coverage and where the mosquito is still susceptible to fenitrothion application.

Authors: ME Macha
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Tinea capitis is one of the common skin diseases affecting school-age children in developing countries. However, the susceptibility of fungi associated with this disease against antifungal agents commonly used has not been fully investigated. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the antifungal susceptibility pattern of fungi associated with tinea capitis amongst children sampled from selected schools in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 72 school children recruited from 10 primary schools in selected class strata within Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania using a multistage sampling technique. Pure cultures of fungi isolates were obtained from scrappings of head lesions in school children and tested for sensitivity to commonly used antifungal agents using the Kirby Bauer agar disk diffusion method. Results: The identified fungi were Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Cytobasidium minutum, Aspergillus spp, Ectophoma multirostrata, Aureobasidium pullulans, Aspergillus flavus, Cladosporium tenuissimum, Pichia terricola, Penicillium flavigenum and Fusarium solani. Out of 10 fungal isolates, 9 (90%) were sensitive to both amphotericin B and nystatin, 4(40%) sensitive to clotrimazole, 1(10%) sensitive to fluconazole and griseofulvin, 3(30%) sensitive to itraconazole, and no isolate showed sensitivity to ketoconazole. Nystatin and amphotericin B showed best antifungal activity against Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Cytobasidium minutum, Fusarium solani and Aspergillus sp while clotrimazole and ketoconazole had intermediate fungal growth inhibition and best activity against Fusarium solani and Aspergillus sp but were resistant to the other antifungal agents. Fluconazole, griseofulvin, and itraconazole were not effective to any of the isolates. Conclusion: This study revealed that nystatin and amphotericin B were ideal antifungal drugs for the treatment of tinea capitis in the studied population.

Antimicrobial Sensitivity Patterns of Uropathogens in India: A Nationwide, Multicentric, Big-Data, Retrospective Study
Authors: R Jangid
Published: September 2022

Introduction: With the increasing antimicrobial resistance, treating community acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) has become a big challenge for many physicians, and the latest antimicrobial sensitivity patterns play a crucial role in successful outcomes. The current study aims to address the issue of lack of comprehensive regional antimicrobial resistance pattern data for uropathogens in India. Methods: This is an observational, retrospective study conducted on data (urine culture and sensitivity report) retrieved from the diagnostic laboratories across 29 Indian states and Union Territories. All urine samples with positive bacterial culture growth from January-December 2018 were included in the analysis. Sensitivity patterns of major urine isolates against 18 antimicrobials were described across multiple states. Results: There were 44624 positive urine culture samples. The mean age of the patients was 46.9 years, and a female preponderance (69.5%) was seen. Among females, Escherichia coli (66.6%) was the most common isolate followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.8%) and Enterococcus spp. (6%). Urine samples from males had a comparatively higher isolation rate of Pseudomonas (53.8% vs 46.2%) but was lower for E. coli (27.7% vs 72.3%) when compared with females, respectively. Nitrofurantoin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin and fosfomycin were found to be the only antimicrobial agents against which overall urinary isolates have shown sensitivity >80% across at least one State. Conclusion: Common uropathogens showed decreasing sensitivity patterns to most of the conventional antimicrobials, which are particularly useful in the empirical management of UTIs. This study has reiterated the need to understand huge variations in antimicrobial sensitivity patterns across geographical regions in India
What does a Bosniak Iv Renal Cyst Obscure?
Authors: TAC Dibingue
Published: September 2022

One of the challenges urologists encounter when dealing with renal cysts is distinguishing between benign and malignant cystic tumours. Approximately 5-7 percent of renal malignancies have a cystic appearance, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most common histological type found (half of the cases), followed by papillary carcinoma. Specific management should be performed in accordance with the Bosniak classification stage. Stage IV is a form of complex cystic tumour with a high risk of malignancy. We report the case of a 51 year old patient, followed for gout, in whom a left renal remanent cyst, measuring about 8 cm, was incidentally discovered during a routine check-up on abdominal ultrasound and classified as Bosniak IV on CT urogram. A left Neohrectomy was performed, and a pathologic examination revealed papillary carcinoma, stage pT2a (intermediate risk according to the UISS). The short- and long-term outcomes were both satisfactory, with a normal CT TAP six months after surgery and normal renal function. To summarise, a Bosniak IV renal cyst needs special attention and full surgical excision to reduce the risk of malignancy progression nd survival is unquestionably satisfactory.
Hyponatremia in Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: S Memon
Published: September 2022

Introduction: There is adequate literature written on hyponatremia, but not much seen in context of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Patients become prone for this electrolyte derangement when they are afflicted with organ failure especially CKD. This vulnerability becomes even worse in ageing due to impaired sensitivity to fluid intake and often burdened with multiple comorbid. For the adequate management of hyponatremia, knowledge of volume status, age of patients and associated comorbid, and duration of hyponatremia are very important. Patients and Methods: This observational study was conducted in adult CKD admitted patients. Demographic information, history, and examination finding were noted. Then each patient underwent investigation i.e., serum sodium, urea, creatinine, spot urine sodium, chloride, potassium, urine and serum osmolality, random blood sugar and echocardiography and noted in questionnaire. CKD staging was done with the help of Modified of diet and Renal disease (MDRD) equation. Diagnosis/ Impression of patient and need of hypertonic saline (3%saline) were all noted along with final outcome whether sodium improved/unimproved, discharge/expired were noted in pre-formed questionnaire. Results: Analysis was done on 171 CKD patients with female to male ratio: 1.19/1 and mean age 55.8 ± 15.16. Hypertension was most prevalent comorbid. Hypovolemia was the most common volume status seen along with moderate hyponatremia and hypertonicity were frequently observed features. 23 out of 171 patients were symptomatic, 44(25.7%) had low Left Ventricular function. Mortality was noted at 9.4%. Conclusion: Overall outcome of patient remained satisfactory despite of presence of CKD and significant number of patients were severe hyponatremic. Predominant management for hyponatremia remained conservative along with treatment for primary disease. Symptomatic hyponatremia and low LV function were found to be contributing to bad outcomes while severity of hyponatremia did not influence badly.

Authors: H Lachhab
Published: September 2022

Chylous ascites is the accumulation of chyle in the peritoneal cavity, a rare postoperative complication linked to a lesion of the abdominal or retroperitoneal lymphatic trunks. We report the case of a 68-year-old patient who underwent radical left total nephrectomy. Postoperative evolution was marked by chylous ascites, managed by conservative treatment with good evolution. This is a complication that should always be considered as a differential diagnosis of abdominal distension after radical nephrectomy
Laparoscopic Drainage of a Kidney Abscess in a Difficult Location: A Case Report
Authors: D Nzambimana
Published: September 2022

Introduction: We present a case of a kidney abscess of difficult localization and due to Proteus mirabilis. Presentation of the Case: It is a 29-year-old male patient with no pathological history who presented with left low back pain with intermittent feverish sensation 2 weeks before his admission. The physical examination noted left lumbar tenderness and a fever of 38.50C. The biological assessment noted hyperleukocytosis with polymorphonuclear neutrophils predominance and an elevation of C-reactive protein with infected urine. Initially objectified by ultrasound, an uro-computed tomography was performed and revealed an anterior superior polar abscess of the left kidney measuring 6cm in diameter. Faced with the impossibility of percutaneous radiological drainage, we resorted to laparoscopic drainage and continuation of antibiotic therapy with successful evolution. Discussion: Kidney abscesses are rare and sometimes with difficult location, which compromises the therapeutic approach. Their prevalence varies from 1 to 10 per 10,000 admissions with serious vital or functional complications. The most frequently found germs are Gram-negative bacilli. Ultrasound and especially CT scan make the diagnosis in 90% of cases and guide treatment. Antibiotic therapy alone or associated with percutaneous drainage depending on the abscess size constitutes the basis of treatment; surgical drainage is reserved for failure or impossibility of percutaneous drainage. Laparoscopy drainage constitutes an alternative of drainage in this situation. Conclusion: Kidney abscesses constitute a rare pathology but with consequences that can compromise the vital or functional prognosis of the kidney. Proteus mirabilis is a rare germ but commonly responsible for kidney abscesses. The clinic and methods of diagnosis of this abscess are identical to those due to other germs. Antibiotic therapy associated with imageguided percutaneous drainage was successful in the majority of cases. Drainage by laparoscopy is an alternative for draining abscesses in difficult locations when percutaneous drainage is impossible or fails.
Pollution, Waste, and the New CE-CBE Integrative Recycling Paradigm in the Knowledge Based Society/Economy
Authors: IG Pop
Published: September 2022

The paper is focused on the anthropic and natural (mattergic and bioeconomic) recycling process of the pollutant products with the possibility to reintroduce in the technological flow a major quantity of the matter with a very low level of energy used with a top level of the informaction (actional information). Is introduced the contextual (2+2)Rs paradigm (reduce, recycle & reuse, recombine-recover) connected to the ENSEC, envinronmental-sociopolitic-economic paradigm of the knowledge based society/economy (KBS/E). The perspective of such a pattern is an optimistic one; so, preserving mattergic resources, even energetic, with a larger contribution of the smart components and technics of the recycling process, we could overcome the contextual thresholds of a future bioeconomy. This represents a new perspective of the recycling process and is considered an important oportunity for the global economy facing the current crisis. In order to have a comprehensive vision of the pollution and waste issue, we are puting together in this paper, in a synergistic-generative significant way (synergy 1+1>2, and significance 1-1≠0), three conceptual and analytical knowledge-spaces: transdisciplinarity as a methodology, globalization vs glocalization as a reality, and sustainable development as a necessity. The linear thermo economic recycling model is compared with the nonlinear, simply circular economic one, in the bio economic context, giving a comprehensive description of what does circular bio economic recycling pattern really means.

Mathematical modeling of procrastination was carried out on students in the Mathematics Department at Universitas Negeri Padang. Procrastination is the tendency to delay work and can be contagious among students. Mathematical modeling of procrastination aims to show the spread of procrastination among students. The SEIR compartment model was applied in this study. From a total of 1,154 population members, 93 samples were randomly selected and were given a questionnaire to estimate the parameter values in the model. A couple of steady states appear in the model. The free disease steady state has a biological meaning since all the variables are real, while the endemic steady state is surreal in biological terms. The number of its basic reproduction number, from which the parameter values are derived from the primary data, indicates stability analysis near the free disease steady states. The result shows that procrastination is spread among students in the population, with the number of Ro is 1,009.

Heart rate is a very vital part for the human body, if the heart rate exceeds the maximum limit it will be very dangerous for the body. So we need a heart rate recorder that can store data from the recorded heart rate in order to make it easier to control health. This study aims to test the heart rate recording system with a comparison of a factory-made device, namely an oximeter. This research starts from creating a framework stage that will outline the sequence to be carried out. Heart rate increased after exercise, which was 114.4 bpm compared to 90.8 bpm when eating and relaxing to 66.6 bpm. The results of the data obtained from the test are 60% (3 out of 5 people) who have the same heart rate either using a device or using an oximeter. The average accuracy value of the heart rate recording system when compared to the oximeter is relatively small, namely 1-2 bpm.
