Authors: Arya Shinta , Kawilarang Arthur pohan
Published: February 2020

Background: Candidiasis vaginalis is a form of vaginal infection by Candida spp, estimated to occur in women of childbearing age in 70-75% of the cases. Clinical history, symptoms and laboratory examinations are very important to diagnose candidiasis vaginalis. Vaginal discharge examination can be done by direct or wet, and culture examination. Microscopic examination can be used to prove the existence of yeast form of Candida. This method is simple, can be applied in clinical microbiology laboratory with limited resources and is considered effective because it is cheap and results are obtained in a short time compared to culture. Detection of fungi by Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining is visually better than KOH. The aim of this study is to analyze the concordance between Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining and KOH method for fungal detection in flour albus from pregnant women.

Method: This research is a descriptive observational study to figure out the suitability of Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining and KOH method for fungal detection in flour albus from pregnant women with cross sectional approach. Samples were collected in the form of 30 vaginal discharge specimens taken from pregnant women and sent to the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Dr. Soetomo Surabaya. The study was conducted in July - August 2019.

Result: There was a significant difference in fungal detection between Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining (56.7%, 17 samples) and 20% KOH method (6 samples) out of 30 samples (p=0.017). The concordance between Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining and KOH method for fungal detection in flour albus from pregnant women is low (Kappa=0.321).

Conclusion: Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining detects more fungi when compared to KOH, and therefore is considered as a better method.

Keywords: Flour albus, pregnancy, Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS), KOH.

Authors: Deák Ferenc , Kovács László , Mucsi Péter , Máthé Zoltán
Published: February 2020

The program for the final disposal of low and intermediate level radioactive waste was established by Paks Nuclear Power Plant, Hungary. Preparation of final disposal has been done as part of a national program since 1993. The Central Nuclear Financial Fund and the Public Limited Company for Radioactive Waste Management (PURAM) have been established to coordinate organizations and activities for all tasks in connection, with nuclear waste treatment. The project was started with a geological screening in order to find the most suitable geological formation for a radioactive waste repository. The selected potential host rock is the Mórágy Granite Formation in the south-western part of Hungary, close to the village of Bátaapáti.This paper show and explain the results of an extensive study of the deformation and fracturing of Mórágy granite samples under uniaxial and triaxial loading conditions. In the investigation, the stress fracturing thresholds (crack initiation, crack coalescence and crack damage) were determined using stress–strain and stiffness curves without acoustic emission (AE) detection technique. Crack initiation was found to be best determined by the volumetric strain curve in both uniaxial and triaxial compression tests. As a detailed investigation, a comprehensive petrographical analysis using a petrological microscope was performed to identify the mode of cracking and the characterization of the cracking pattern.

Authors: Aydın Gürler Sümeyye , Baykara Oktay
Published: February 2020

The aim of present research was to develop a Likert type scale that determines the attitudes of 9th grade students towards physics courses so as to identify the physics students’ attitudes towards this course. The research started with a draft scale of 30 items. The draft scale was applied to 177 ninth grade students as a pilot research. According to results obtained from factor analysis, a scale that has 21 items and covering six sub-sets was developed. KMO value of the scale was .82; the Bartlett’s test value was 1997.3; and the internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha) was .90. The scale was then applied to 460 ninth grade students from different schools to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis. It was found that the types of upper-secondary school influence students’ attitudes towards physics courses while gender and educational level of the parents had no significant influence on these attitudes. Therefore, it was also found that the students had an ambivalent attitude towards physics courses. Keywords: factor analysis, physics course, scale development, student attitude.

Published: February 2020

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in chronic kidney disease patient as well as in patients on hemodialysis. Dyslipidaemia is highly prevalent in patients on maintenance haemodialysis which increases the risk for cardiovascular mortality. This study was designed to evaluate the lipid abnormalities, effect of atorvastatin on lipid profile and cardiovascular events in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

Methods: In this prospective clinical study, 55 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis participated voluntarily. The study population was divided randomly into group-A (atorvastatin was prescribed) and group-B (without atorvastatin). We compared the lipid status and cardiovascular events of both groups after 6 months.

Results: The two groups of patients were well matched in respect to baseline characteristics, history of risk factors and dialysis duration and session. Mean age of study population was about 48 years. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol was reduced by 18.79%, total cholesterol was reduced by 9.32% and triglyceride was reduced by 22% in group-A. In group-A, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was increased by 6% and it was reduced by 6% in group-B. In this study, myocardial ischemia/infarction on electrocardiogram (ECG) was present 22% in group-A and 14% in group-B at randomization. After 6 months, ischemia/infarction was found 33% in group-A and 25% in group-B. Statistically the ECG findings showed no significant changes after 6 months. In this study, mean ejection fraction (EF %) was 54% in group-A and 51% in group-B at 0 month, after 6 months atorvastatin group failed to show any significant change. In this study, after 6 months of statin therapy there was slight increase of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (16.13%) but that was not significant.

Conclusion: In this study atorvastatin improved the lipid abnormalities significantly but a significant reduction of cardiovascular events was not achieved.

Background: Acute gastroenteritis is considered as one of the most common causes of under-five morbidity and mortality worldwide. Standard treatment is the use of oral rehydration solution (ORS), intravenous fluid if indicated, and zinc supplement. Recently, the use of probiotics has been introduced as an adjunct to the treatment of acute gastroenteritis. The aim of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of multi-strain probiotics as adjunct treatment of acute gastroenteritis.

Methodology: A randomized controlled trial was done in 250 bed district Sadar Hospital, Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh from January 2016 to June 2017. After fulfilling the inclusion criteria, 507 children aged 2 months to 5 years were enrolled in this study. Those with dysentery, chronic diarrhea, diarrhea due to known genetic disorder, chronic illness, malnutrition, systemic infection, CNS disorder and congenital malformation were excluded. Children were divided into two groups randomly. One group was With Probiotic, zinc and standard WHO (ORS) as case and other group was Without Probiotic, zinc and standard WHO ORS as control.

Results: Among 507 children, 257 were without probiotic while 250 were with probiotic. The mean difference in stool frequency between the two groups were 3.3 after 24 hours, 3.5 after 48 hours and 1.6 after 72 hours after hospitalization which was statistically significant (p=0.000). Reduction of stool frequency was highest after 48 hours of admission. Mean duration of hospital stay was 4.40±1.22 days in control and 4.03±.89 days in case group. Probiotic group children with exclusive breastfeeding had mean recovery time of 3.95±0.85 days and those who were not exclusively breastfeed had recovery time of 4.2±0.95 days (p=0.025).

Conclusion: Probiotic is efficacious in reducing purging duration and frequency of acute watery diarrhea in children.

Heavy metals are non-biodegradable substances which cause serious carcinogenic effects on animals and humans. As fish occupy top position of aquatic food chain, it is a major source of heavy metal contamination. The concentration of Cd, Cr, Pb, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn were 0.0156 - 0.1428, 0.163 - 8.53, 0.0924 - 0.4026, 9.38 - 65.9382, 0.0473 - 0.1981 and 0.1473 - 1.8148 ppm respectively for the fish samples of Cox’s Bazar region while 0.0191 - 0.1386, 0.8445 - 0.1743, 0.102 - 0.4625, 0.102 - 0.4675, 9.7269 - 60.5267, 0.3108 - 0.046 ppm for the fish samples of Saint Martin’s region. Comparatively high concentrations of heavy metals were found to be accumulated in Mola (Amblypharyngodon mola), Rupchanda (Stromateus chinensis) and Chhuri (Trichiurus lepturus). The order of heavy metal concentrations were Fe > Zn > Cr > Cu > Mn > Cd. The concentration of heavy metals varied from species to species and most of the metals were not significantly correlated, even some metals showed negative correlation among them. Concentration of Fe in some fishes (Mola, Rupchanda and Chhuri) was found higher than WHO guideline values, while other metals exhibited the value below the WHO standard. The results of this study will assist in acquiring information about the level of toxic metals in these regions and to improve the coastal management in these areas in future.

Obstructive jaundice is a condition in which there is blockage of the flow of bile out of the liver. To find out the correlation between clinical diagnosis and operative findings of patients having obstructive jaundice. This prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from January 2008 to April 2009. Fifty clinically diagnosed obstructive jaundice cases were enrolled in this study. A detailed history was taken and thorough physical examination was done. Also necessary haematological, biochemical, radiological and other special investigations were carried out.  In this study, mean age of the patients was 42.9 years and male to female ratio was 1:1.17. The most frequent cause was choledocholithiasis (40%), stricture of CBD (6.0%), retained stone (14.0%), parasitic obstruction (4.0%), carcinoma (30.0%) and other cause (6.0%). Serum bilirubin level was below 10mg/dl in all cases of stricture of CBD. It was above 15mg/dL in cases of carcinoma head of the pancreas. The rise of Serum alkaline phosphates level was up to 3 folds in cases with choledocholithiasis, biliary stricture and pancreatic head malignancy. The average rise in other cases was 1 to 2 folds. Sensitivity and specificity of pre operative clinical diagnosis of choledocholithiasis, carcinoma and retain stone was 86.4 & 96.4%, 92.3 & 91.9% and 71.4 & 95.3% respectively. Pre operative clinical diagnosis of obstructive jaundice is a good diagnosis tool in diagnosis of causes of obstructive jaundice.

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer affecting women worldwide. Persistent HPV infection plays a major role in cervical cancer. The risk of cervical cancer has increased in parallel with the incidence of certain genotypes of human papilloma virus (HPV).
Methods: The study was aimed to detect the distribution of HPV genotypes among cervical cancer patients from a specialized hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. HPV DNA testing was done by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using SPF-10 broad-spectrum primers followed by genotyping by reverse hybridization using the INNO-LIPA genotyping system at the Department of Virology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka.
Results: HPV 16 was more prevalent (72.0%) in cervical cancer patients from Bangladesh followed by type 18 (6.0%) and 45 (2.0%). Genotype 16 and 18 alone and as co-infection were detected in 88.0% cases. Multiple HPV infection was found in 20% patients. Along with high risk (HR) HPV 16, 18 and 45 HR HPV 56, 39, 31 and 58 were also prevalent in multiple infections.
Conclusion: Thus the study concluded that HR HPV 16 and HPV 18 were more prevalent genotypes among cervical cancer patients in a specialised hospital in Bangladesh. Along with HR HPV 16 and HPV 18, HR HPV 45, 56, 39, 31 and 58 were also prevalent

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Cholelithiasis or gallstone disease is one of the major health problems worldwide. Earlier traditional open cholecystectomy (OC) was the treatment for symptomatic gall stone disease. With the advancing cutting edge technology, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), a minimal access surgery has become a well established modality of treatment.

Objective: To study the overall outcome and related experiences of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Materials and Methods: This descriptive observational study was carried out at Combined Military Hospitals of Jashore, Cumilla and Dhaka from September 2015 to December 2017. A total of 100 patients suffering from symptomatic cholelithiasis were admitted for LC and included in this study. Data were collected in a structured proforma and expressed in mean±SD, frequency and percentage.

Results: Patients mean age was 42±7.63 years with ranged 25 to 62 years. Eighty five percent patients were female. Mean operative time was 55±12.37 minutes with ranged 30 to 100 minutes. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 2.5±1.29 days with ranged from 2 to 4 days. No major intra operative and post operative complications encountered except 2 patients needed conversion to OC.

Conclusion: LC is a safe minimal access surgical procedure for gallstone disease. An experienced well-trained surgical team with standard surgical technique and early recognition and management of complications encountered are key elements to good surgical outcome.

Authors: Tahrun Tahrun
Published: February 2020

The purpose of teaching and learning English as a foreign language in Indonesia is to enable the learners to use English for communication in various contexts. To promote communication in teaching and learning activities, the teachers should be able to initiate interaction. To initiate interaction, the teachers may use questions, by which the teachers should consider the appropriate types of question that match with the students. In addition, the teachers should be able to maintain or sustain the interaction in their teaching and learning context. One of the activities which are effective to sustain interaction in the process of teaching and learning is group work. By using group work, the learners are encouraged to interact in English communicatively. Besides, this method increases students' motivation in learning. This is as the effect of learning climate which offers freedom for the students to express their ideas, feeling or criticism freely in front of their group's members.  In addition, group work promotes students' learning responsibility and autonomy. Each member of the groups must be responsible to achieve their common goal. Considering those ideas, group work can be one of the effective methods to sustain interaction in the EFL classroom.

Background and Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of unvoiced segments on the cepstral analysis in patients with vocal cord paralysis (VCP).Subjects and Method A total 302 subjects (173 subjects with VCP and 129 normal voice subjects) participated in this study. The sustained vowel /a/ 2 seconds and one sentence of ‘Sanchaek’ were edited, and analyzed by Praat script. The cepstral analyses were performed using sustained vowel (SV), continuous speech (CS), and extracted continuous speech (EXT) samples. The auditory-perceptual (AP) rating was also completed by three raters.Results First, there were significant differences in all variables except low-to high spectral ratio(L/H ratio)_EXT between two groups. Second, cepstral peak prominence (CPP), smoothed cepstral peak prominence (CPPS), and L/H ratio showed significant differences in SV, CS, and EXT samples. Third, cepstral measurements were highly correlated with the AP ratings. Finally, the level of discrimination of dysphonia estimated from CPP and CPPS gotten from SV and CS values was more than area under the curve (AUC) of 0.941. AUC of 0.880 or more was also found in EXT.Conclusion In this study, we confirmed that both CS and EXT are highly predictive of pathologic speeches. Further study will also need to be validated for a more diverse group of voice disorders.

Authors: AYDIN Hüseyin
Published: February 2020

5237 sayılı Türk Ceza Kanunu’nun (TCK) 24 üncü maddesinde “kanunun hükmü ve amirin emri” başlığı altında yetkili bir merci tarafından verilip de yerine getirilmesi görev gereği zorunlu olan bir emri yerine getirenin sorumlu tutulmayacağı ifade edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte suç teşkil eden emrin hiçbir şekilde yerine getirilemeyeceği, yerine getirenin bir emri yerine getirdiği gerekçesiyle sorumluluktan kurtulamayacağı hüküm altına alınmıştır. Aynı maddenin son fıkrasında ise emrin hukuka uygunluğunun denetlenmesinin kanun tarafından engellendiği hallerde emrin yerine getirilmesinden sadece emri verenin sorumlu olacağı belirtilmiştir. Anayasa’nın “kanunsuz emir” başlıklı 137 nci maddesinde de aynı mahiyette bir hükme yer verilmiş, suç teşkil eden bir emrin yerine getirilmesi halinde emri verenle emri yerine getirenin sorumlu olacağı temel ilke olarak belirtildikten sonra askeri hizmetlerin görülmesi, acele hallerde kamu düzeni ve kamu güvenliğinin korunması amacıyla kanunla bu ilkeye istisna getirilebileceği ifade edilmiştir. Askeri Ceza Kanunu’nun 41 inci maddesine göre ise adli ve askeri bir suç işlemek amacıyla verildiğinin anlaşılması veya verilen emrin sınırının aşılması halleri hariç hizmete ilişkin olmak koşuluyla suç teşkil eden emri yerine getiren sorumlu tutulmayacaktır.     İşbu çalışmada Anayasa ve Türk Ceza Kanunu’ndaki düzenlemeler ışığında suç teşkil eden emir ve emri yerine getirenin sorumluluğu üzerinde durulmuş, bu çerçevede özellikle askeri hizmetler açısından konu irdelenerek bir sonuca varılmıştır.
