Die Analyse synaptischer Plastizität auf Einzelzellebene mit Hilfe der STDP
Authors: Edelmann Elke , Leßmann Volkmar
Published: July 2018

Mithilfe des Patch clamp-Verfahrens können die molekularen Prozesse, die der Langzeitpotentierung (LTP) und der Langzeitdepression (LTD) zugrunde liegen, auf der Ebene eines einzelnen postsynaptischen Neurons (Nervenzelle) in akut isolierten Gehirnschnitten untersucht werden. Über die in der Ableitelektrode enthaltene Pipettenlösung können dabei Inhibitoren intrazellulärer Prozesse in das postsynaptische Neuron eingebracht werden, um so die an der synaptischen Plastizität beteiligten Signalwege zu identifizieren. Zur Untersuchung der synaptischen Plastizität wurden in den letzten Jahren zunehmend Protokolle herangezogen, die durch eine minimale Anzahl von synaptischen Stimulationen mit niedriger Frequenz robuste LTP oder LTD auslösen. Zu diesen Stimulationsmustern gehört die sogenannte Spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP). Sie kann durch wiederholtes nahezu gleichzeitiges Feuern von Aktionspotenzialen (APs) im präsynaptischen und im nachgeschalteten postsynaptischen Neuron induziert werden, wenn diese APs mit einer kurzen zeitlichen Verzögerung von ca. 5–20 ms ausgelöst werden. Während „Vorwärtspaarungen“ mit kurzem positiven Zeitversatz (erst prä- dann postsynaptisches AP) LTP auslösen, führt „Rückwärtspaarung“ (erst post- dann präsynaptisches AP) zu LTD. Zusätzlich zur Abfolge (vorwärts oder rückwärts) und der zeitlichen Verzögerung der APs, ist die Wirkung von neuromodulatorischen Transmittern (z. B. Dopamin, Acetylcholin, Noradrenalin) und die synaptische Freisetzung von intrazellulären Mediatoren der synaptischen Plastizität (z. B. BDNF, Endocannabinoide) kritisch an der Regulation von STDP-Protokollen beteiligt. In diesem Übersichtsartikel fokussieren wir uns auf die Rolle dieser Mediatoren und Modulatoren bei durch STDP ausgelösten synaptischen Plastizitätsphänomenen.
MHD nonaligned stagnation point flow of second grade fluid towards a porous rotating disk
Authors: Khan Najeeb Alam , Naz Farah , Khan Nadeem Alam , Ullah Saif
Published: July 2018

This paper provides analytical solution of the non-aligned stagnation point flow of second grade fluid over a porous rotating disk in the presence of a magnetic field and suction/injection at the disk surface. The mathematical formulation of the fluid model is obtained in terms of partial differential equations (PDEs). The PDEs governing the motion are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by means of a similarity transformation and these corresponding nonlinear ODEs are solved by employing the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and the convergence analysis of the presented method is also performed graphically. An inclusion of the influences of various admissible parameters has been shown numerically and graphically on the flow field. Furthermore, comparison is made and it concedes that the obtained results are found to be in good agreement with results existing in literature.
A note on Riccati-Bernoulli Sub-ODE method combined with complex transform method applied to fractional differential equations
Authors: Abdelrahman Mahmoud A.E.
Published: July 2018

In this paper, the fractional derivatives in the sense of modified Riemann–Liouville and the Riccati-Bernoulli Sub-ODE method are used to construct exact solutions for some nonlinear partial fractional differential equations via the nonlinear fractional Zoomeron equation and the (3 + 1) dimensional space-time fractional mKDV-ZK equation. These nonlinear fractional equations can be turned into another nonlinear ordinary differential equation by complex transform method. This method is efficient and powerful in solving wide classes of nonlinear fractional order equations. The Riccati-Bernoulli Sub-ODE method appears to be easier and more convenient by means of a symbolic computation system.
Cattaneo -Christov heat flux model for magnetohydrodynamic flow in a suspension of dust particles towards a stretching sheet
Authors: Mamatha Upadhya S. , Mahesha  , Raju C.S.K.
Published: July 2018

In the present paper, the flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting dusty fluid over a stretching sheet is considered. The Cattaneo- Christov heat flux theory is employed to control the thermal boundary layer. The flow equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (NODEs) and which are solved with help of Runge-Kutta 4th order method. Flow equations are examined with respect to boundary conditions namely prescribed wall temperature (PWT) and prescribed heat flux (PHF) cases. In general PWT and PHF boundary conditions are very useful in the industrial as well as manufacturing up and down processes. Impact of the emerging parameters on the dimensionless velocity and temperature as well as friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are examined. We also validated my results with already available literature. It is found that the heat transfer rate of the flow in PWT case is higher than that of PHF case. These results can help us to conclude that for higher heating processes (Heating industries) PWT case and lesser heating processes (Cooling industries) PHF boundary condition is useful.

Vor diesem Hintergrund fragt sie nach der funktionalen und wesentlichen Seite von Spiritualität in der Diakonie. Theologie hat dabei für die Diakonie eine Erinnerungs- und eine Begleitungsfunktion. Auf der Basis des Rechtfertigungsverständnisses kann v. a. evangelische Theologie mit der Diakonie herausfinden, wo und wie sich für Klienten und Mitarbeiter/-innen Freiräume auftun, die mit Spiritualität sinn- und identitätsstiftend gefüllt werden können. Theologie selbst aktualisiert in diesem Dialog ihre eigenen Theorien.
Implizite Spiritualität
Authors: Maidl Lydia
Published: July 2018

In der Pflege legt sich durch die Anwendung traditioneller Bedürfnismodelle die Versuchung nahe, auf Spiritualität in gleicher Weise wie auf andere Bedürfnisse einzugehen. Dadurch wird die spezifische Dynamik des spirituellen Sehnens und Begehrens nicht angemessen berücksichtigt. Die zentrale Frage ist, wie menschliche Bedürfnisse und ein unstillbares Sehnen, das oft als Sehnsucht nach dem Göttlichen gedeutet wurde, zusammenhängen. Das entsprechende lateinische Wort istdesiderium. Es ist ein Schlüsselbegriff christlicher Spiritualität. Der folgende Beitrag erläutert psychologische und philosophische Einsichten, die mit diesem Begriff verbunden sind, und zeigt, wie sie den Gegenwartsdiskurs voranbringen. Zentral ist dabei die Einsicht des Thomas von Aquin, dass das sehnsuchtsvolle Verlangen nach letztem Glück in jedem Bedürfnis verborgen anwesend ist. Dies bringt der Terminus „implizite Spiritualität“ zum Ausdruck. Abschließend werden Impulse für Spiritual Care formuliert. Auch für die virulente Frage, welcher Spiritualitätsbegriff für Spiritual Care hilfreich ist, ergeben sich Einsichten.
Investigating the Effect of Silica Aerogel Nanoparticles on the Kinetics of AGET ATRP of Methyl Methacrylate
Authors: Karimi Maryam , Davoudizadeh Soroush , Bahadorikhalili Saeed , Khezri Khezrollah
Published: July 2018

Hexamethyldisilazane-modified silica aerogel nanoparticles were used for in situ polymerization of methyl methacrylate by activators generated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization (AGET ATRP) to synthesize tailor-made PMMA nanocomposites. Appropriate dispersion of silica aerogel nanoparticles in the monomer solution and improvement in interfacial interaction between the PMMA matrix and nanoparticles are two main reasons for application of HMDS-modified silica aerogel nanoparticles. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm was employed to examine surface area and structural characteristics of the HMDS-modified silica aerogel nanoparticles. Evaluation of size distribution and morphological studies were also performed by SEM and TEM. Conversion and molecular weight determinations were carried out using GC and SEC, respectively. Addition of 3 wt% HMDS-modified silica aerogel nanoparticles leads to decrement of conversion from 85 to 64%. Molecular weight of PMMA chains also decreases from 13,912 to 10,810 g⋅mol−1 by addition of only 3 wt% HMDS-modified silica aerogel nanoparticles; however, polydispersity index values increases from 1.18 to 1.51. Linear increase of ln(M0/M) with time for all the samples shows that polymerization proceeds in a living manner. In addition, suitable agreement between theoretical and experimental molecular weight in combination with low PDI values can appropriately demonstrate the living nature of the polymerization. TGA results indicate that by increasing HMDS-modified silica aerogel nanoparticles content, slight improvements in thermal stability of the nanocomposites were obtained. DSC results show a decrease in Tg from 86.9 to 80.1°C by addition of 3 wt% HMDS-modified silica aerogel nanoparticles.
Assessing Long-term Impact of Values-based Community Health Education in Cambodia
Authors: Cuttilan Amit Nirmal , Cuttilan Ravi Amran , Chua Si Min , Wilder-Smith Annelies
Published: July 2018

Introduction: Community Health Education (CHE) is a development strategy which aims to address the needs of communities in developing countries through an emphasis on moral values and civic education. The syllabus of the CHE program guides a trainer to find the needs of a developing community and take a moral values-based approach to health issues such as alcoholism, smoking, injuries to accidents, and sexually-transmitted illnesses. The fundamental philosophy is that of development as opposed to aid.
Methods: In November 2010 and February 2011, this training was conducted for leaders and volunteers from two Cambodian Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) involved in HIV prevention education and training in Cambodia. In order to investigate long-term impact, participants who underwent training sessions in November 2010 and February 2011 also underwent Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs).
Results: A total of 28 participants partook in the 3 FGDs and 5 participants took part in the KIIs. Participants were able to recall a number of moral values and concepts from the training. These included forgiveness, love, altruism, unity, respect, empathy, teamwork, optimism, and hopefulness. The organisations were then able to use the CHE model to change the way their organisation worked together to achieve the goals in their communities. The participants were also able to use the teaching modalities employed by CHE sessions in their own work with their target communities.
Conclusion: The CHE training system has had a number of positive effects. They have influenced the personal lives of the participants, the way their organizations are run and the way they reach out to their target communities. In light of the themes identified in our results, we propose further research to compare the relative magnitude of all of these effects on these organizations in the long run compared to the short run.
The Annunciation of the Gospel: A Humble Goal for Medical Missions
Authors: Downing Raymond
Published: July 2018

Fifty years ago, Ivan Illich – then a trainer of missionaries – declared that the Church should withdraw from its current role in third world development and focus instead on “the annunciation of the gospel.” This would be the church's “contribution to development which could not be made by any other institution.” Since then church institutions have instead greatly expanded their role in relief and development. This article examines why we need to listen to Illich.
Why Evangelical Christians are Supporting International Family Planning: A Response to Should Evangelical Christian Organizations Support International Family Planning?
Authors: Mosley Wiley Henry
Published: July 2018

The article by Monique and Jeffery Wubbenhorst asks the question—Should Evangelical Christian Organizations Support International Family Planning?1 The article’s response to this question shows a lack of understanding of the fundamentals of population dynamics in the modern world as well as of the critical role contraceptives play in preventing unintended pregnancies and abortions and promoting maternal and child health. These errors are compounded by selective citation and misrepresentation of the evidence in the scientific literature. This commentary seeks to provide a balanced view of the evidence and correct several unfounded assertions in order to document why evangelical Christians and Christian organizations are, in fact, providing family planning services around the world.
Specific points addressed are as follows: fundamentals of the global demographic transition including how the contraceptive revolution has slowed world population growth; the social, economic, and cultural forces driving couples to choose to control their fertility for the welfare of their families; the critical role of contraceptive practice in preventing unintended pregnancies and abortions as well as directly promoting safe motherhood and child health; the evidence that women and couples in less-developed countries desire to control their fertility as attested by the measurement of unmet need for family planning; and the reason why failing to provide poor women and couples in less-developed countries who want to control their fertility with the information and contraceptive methods of their choice is likely to lead to unintended pregnancies and more abortions.
Christian health professionals and organizations need to be in the world, working with people of all belief systems, since that is a powerful way for the world to be reached with the love of Jesus and the gospel of salvation.

El sujeto trashumante de la filosofía moderna y las transformaciones de lo real
Authors: Corona Fernández Javier
Published: July 2018

This article explores the modern paradigm of the subject that, such as a traveller goes abroad on a time capsule, crosses over different eras and contexts. Ove the time, it has been the theme of reflections of all kinds, which also projects it to an open consideration of the future, by declaring its death at the present time or by tossing it back to the past to recall its formative stages. Thus, the objective of the article is to provide an overview of the philosophical category of the subject that marked the ways on thinking about the reality in areas as diverse as knowledge, moral life, historical development, social revolutions, political structures and artistic creation, among other theoretical and practical problems. The article considers two different moments. The first section, called “The irruption of the subject in Modernity”, focusses on some of the defining phases at conceptual level and the determining junctures that made it the centre of gravity for the philosophy. The second one is entitled “The subject and the transformations of the real.” It outlines the outcome of modern philosophy in the context of the first decades of the twentieth century, when the task that corresponds to the philosophy is set as the sense of reality changes, as well as the canon that made the relation between subject and object to be the axis of thought.
La redefinición del sujeto cognoscente: el acto de intelección en cuanto conocimiento
Authors: Obando Olaya Edwin Fabricio , Villagrán Venegas Norma Gabriela , Obando Olaya Edson Leonardo
Published: July 2018

This work analyzes the intentionality of human beings as cognoscente subjects, a preponderant factor to reaffirm their way of being and the knowledge of the environment in which they stablish relationships. Afterwards, there is a twist as there is the intention of reaffirming this nature, which in some cases results in something alien, that is to say, human beings are at a crossroads where they leave their modal character aside and can end up becoming an object in the midst of objects, losing all capacity for intellection and, therefore, falling into pointlessness. The methodology is framed in an analytical-reflective and historical-critical process, in contrast to practical questioning; the educational process as one of the factors where people fulfill themselves, from stances taken by some authors who have made significant contributions among which are: Lonergan, Husserl, Scheler, Locke (classical thinkers), and taking into account documents and articles that complement their contributions, as well as the connotations of different thoughts, where some analogies are made regarding the proposed topic. Finally, the conclusions have to do with the first approach: human beings cannot dispense with their immanent nature of reaching the knowledge of the objects, which are alien to their way of existing and which can be comprehended by the human intellect.
El hecho fenomenológico del sujeto y el objeto en el aprendizaje.
Authors: Solís Sotomayor Luis Xavier
Published: July 2018

The present work has the objective of making an analysis from the point of view of the evolution and appearance of thought in the human being and its structure of knowledge, its different developments in the stages of humanity and its history. The fact of the subject and the object in the relationship of learning as a systemic and reflective form that is acquiring ways of meanings, until reaching an advance where thought seeks to reinterpret and decode the ideas of the world and man (Object and Subject) of a more structured way, based on a form of equilibration and adaptability taking into account the Piagetian theory, as well as the current thinking reality, of how we are forming the new knowledge and decodifications, their true meanings for our scientific-technical world, open to a new language and a new way of thinking in the world. The ontic characteristics of the human being make us see is a Being of options and that is open to different ways to acquire and decode knowledge, among which stand out at first are: “culture and education”; it is the culture that enriches, the one that puts the different forms of transmission of knowledge, orally, in writing and in other ways in which our brain knows how to decode its realities from the primordial elements that only it knows.
El fenómeno del conocimiento como problema en la investigación educativa.
Authors: Morales Hidalgo Paulina de los Ángeles , Bermúdez García José Ángel , García Zacarías Jean Carlos
Published: July 2018

The problem of knowledge is one of the fundamental themes of contemporary philosophical reflection, it has exposed the serious epistemological crisis of scientific research due to its ontological and anthropological gaps when it comes to understanding reality. The experiences of educational researchers reveal that the Cartesian and positivist thought categories of modern discourse undermine the processes of knowledge production that are generated in and through educational research. The purpose of the dissertation is to find in the substantive experiences of thinkers and educational researchers new reflection keys that promote a more experiential and significantly human type of discourse and scientific praxis. The method used is the systematization of experiences (Barrera, 2010). From the collected experiences emerged two fundamental theoretical keys for the reflection of the problem of knowledge in the context of university education, which are: (a) renewed scientific thought; (b) from the methodology to the scientific methodology. The phenomenon of knowledge emerges from experiences as a questioning idea that introduces us in a new way into the epistemological reflection of scientific praxis, from new perspectives that project the path towards a scientific research with a consciential character, say, that it takes into account the fundamental dimensions of the human condition, that within objective research they would not have reason for scientific validation.
La sujeción en el panorama educativo después del “fin de la historia
Authors: López Morocho Luis Rodolfo
Published: July 2018

The present research will analyze “the end of history”, which had origined in the interpretation realized by Kojève about the philosophy of the history proposed by Hegel and finally completed and reformulated by Fukuyama. Then I will analyze main contributions of these three thinkers in the construction of this category with their respective repercussions in the real world, and I will establish a relationship between the approaches of Fukuyama and the protophilosophy of Augustinian history. After I elaborate the framework about end of history, I will present the criticisms realized by Butler and Cadahia about its roles like mechanisms of domination over all anthropological machinery and posthistory. Finally, I will do some reflexions about framework of the subjection in order to apply this on the education. For this reason, I will establish a dialogue between two authors, Foucault and Freire, and I will use opposing arguments about currently education. The genealogical methodological will be able to view the beginning of school as we know at present, and considering its conditions of possibility inside of a determinate power structure. In this way, the subjection will be fundamental in the current educational subject construction that will be seeing desbodated, and this crisis will obligate to choose hope or subjection.
Subjetividad y autoritarismo en la filosofía de la educación de Theodor W. Adorno
Authors: Matías Robles Gustavo
Published: July 2018

This paper aims to discuss the relevance and the actuality of Theodor W. Adorno’s reflections on education. In this context, It shows that the central point of Adorno´s philosophy of education is his concern for ways of authoritarian subjectivation and its antidemocratic potential in light of the German recent past. The paper points out that the so-called “turn to the subject”, the Adorno´s leitmotiv for a critical pedagogy, must be understood in relation to Adorno´s empirical works on authoritarianism carried on from around the 50´s and to certain issues of his philosophy, such as the idea of crisis of experience, his critique of the autonomous subject and his anti-conformist criticism. The article is based on a critical and interpretative reading of Adornos texts on education, especially of his lectures and writings published in the volume Education for Emancipation, as well as other important texts of his work. The general objective of the article is to think about the role of education in the formation of appropriate ways of subjectivation for a democratic life and that be capable of resisting manifestations of social authoritarianism. In the conclusions it will be shown that the core of the problem is the rigidity and the non-critical identity of forms of individualities, which the political education for democracy should call into question
La episteme neoliberal y la repolitización estudiantil emancipatoria en Brasil y Chile.
Authors: Rodríguez Mancilla Héctor Marcelo , Betancourt Sáez Marcela Eliana , Varas González René Antonio
Published: July 2018

The present academic work is developed under the objective of a critical analysis linked to the relationship between the ideological foundations that are generated on the basis of an episteme of neoliberal positioning, the profound consequences that the increasing privatization of formal education occurred in the last decades in Latin America and the multitudinous student emancipatory mobilizations, recently occurred in countries like Chile and Brazil. From an exhaustive recapitulation of the specialized literature, it generates the sense that shows in a growing and installed tendency to privatization experienced in the field of education, the cause of the precarization of relational conditions and learning from the perspective of internal functioning of the school, and in turn seeks to depoliticize the student subject, making it a player of the neoliberal, disarticulated and individualistic system. However, at the same time that the student experiences situations of depoliticization, the emancipatory mobilizations to an inherited system re-politicize the student question, to claim the idea that education is and must be understood with a social look, as a fundamental human right and as an important space for the construction of citizenship in connection with different democratic projects. It concludes problematizing this process that since its development is presenting limitations from the socio-political nature for all the difficulty of achieving articulation of projects that are alternative to neoliberalism.
La dialéctica de la plurinacionalidad como crítica del Estado-nación liberal
Authors: Díaz Salazar Holger Rodrigo
Published: July 2018

El artículo estudia la dialéctica como camino de indagación de la plurinacionalidad y su contraparte el vetusto Estado-nación monoétnico ecuatoriano. Indaga: 1) ¿cuál es el fundamento ontológico de la plurinacionalidad? y 2) ¿por qué la plurinacionalidad como planteamiento socio-político niega la homogeneidad del Estadonación liberal y su correlato el colonialismo externo-interno? Se plantea que el fundamento ontológico de la plurinacionalidad se halla en la sociedad comunitaria (o ser social) y que en su praxis socio-política niega la fetichización del Estado-nación liberal, determinado como instrumento del colonialismo externo-interno de la sociedad. La investigación concibe y aplica el análisis dialéctico de la realidad concreta y la ley de contradicción universal, como inherentes del ser social y del pensamiento que refleja dicha realidad. El estudio concluye que: 1) la dialéctica comprende la categoría de totalidad y es útil para el análisis y explicación de la sociedad en su conjunto, de las partes al todo y del todo a las partes, en mutua interrelación universal; 2) la sociedad comunitaria es una objetivación ontológica de la plurinacionalidad y se manifiesta en la diversidad étnicacultural del Ecuador, con temporalidades históricas distintas, y en contraposición a la formación económicosocial colonial y republicana; y 3) la fetichización del Estado-nación liberal como instrumento del colonialismo externo e interno de la sociedad ecuatoriana aún está vigente y continua cumpliendo esa misma función a través del procesamiento de la colonialidad del poder, la invisibilización ontológica del otro (alter) y la diferenciación colonial racista.
Transplantation of UC-MSCs on a collagen scaffold restores ovarian function in mice with POF v1
Authors: Yang Yanjun
Published: July 2018

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a refractory disease; one of the most important goals of treatment is to improve fertility. In this study, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on a collagen scaffold (collagen/UC-MSCs) transplanted into the ovaries of POF mice preserved ovarian function, as evidenced by increased estradiol (E2) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels, increased ovarian volume, and an increased number of antral follicles. Immunohistochemistry results of Ki67 and Cleaved-Caspase3 indicated transplantation of collagen/UC-MSCs promoted granulosa cell proliferation, which is crucial to oocyte maturation and follicular development. In summary, collagen/UC-MSCs transplantation may provide an effective therapeutic strategy for the treatment of POF.

The author gives an example of the reconstruction of multi-storied housing in France, implemented on the same principles and led to even seemingly similar results. The connection between the architecture of social housing of the New Course in the United States and the architecture of Soviet workers’ settlements, which were designed and built by the USSR People’s Commissariat of Industry and the departments that left it in the second half of the 1930s and the second half of the 1940s, was not clearly identified. The paper draws attention to structure and proportionality of the residential ambiance to a person and the opportunity, given in the American example, reconstruction and revival of such architecture in Russia.

The article is devoted to the historical analysis of Samara’s public spaces at the level of +/- 0.000. Today our city is a collection of fragments from different eras. They differ greatly in the types of planning organization of the public level, the functional saturation and scale of development. From the pedestrian historical compact city, the transition to a modernist type with a micro-district mono-functional building was made. The urban environment has become disparate. In the zero urban level, gaps emerged associated with the lack of of open spaces in pedestrian accessibility and inadequate concentration of public components. Today Samara continues to be built up with neighborhoods with a predominance of residential functions, while not paying attention to the organization of public spaces. The solution to this problem will be an approach based on the creation of a pedestrian city at the level of +/- 0.000, which will be able to form a continuous network of public spaces in the lower level and qualitatively transform urban fabric. The article considers the historical evolution of public spaces in Samara as a necessary precondition for the future of the project.
ARCHOFUNCTION ARISING FROM THE FORMAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE STANDARD SECTION OF THE OBJECT

Published: July 2018

The author considers architectural cuts as a specific type of architectural models existing either as a passive result of a section through the finished form of an object, or as a relatively independent formal experiment that initiates the emergence of a higher «adventure» level of the arkho-function. The authors derive the principles allowing to transform the standard lattices underlying this type of models. The methodological necessity of the formal transformation of the section is justified with the aim of overcoming deadlocks, projecting the section in passive mode to testify the withering of the architectural intrigue.

Authors: Rakov Anton Petrovich
Published: July 2018

The technology of three-dimensional printing by sunlight on lunar soil will make it possible to manufacture the first stone blocks on the Earth’s satellite. Construction robots will build the first ever-artificial objects on the Moon. The appearance of a base on the Moon will be preceded by an experimental uninhabited artificial stone objects - monuments. Regolith-shrapnel lunar soil for protection of the infrastructure of lunar settlements will be actively used. The first inhabited objects on the Moon will have a massive and strong protection against micrometeorites and radiation, which will be made of local building material. Inhabited shells, ready to accept the first settlers, will be delivered from the ground.

Background: Although ectopic pregnancy is of interest to the embryologist, general practitioner, obstetrician, and abdominal surgeon for various reasons, our present study was undertaken to determine the incidence, epidemiological characteristics, clinical features, risk factors, diagnosis, management and operative findings of ectopic pregnancies at our hospital.Methods: This is a retrospective study of ectopic pregnancies that were managed operatively at Bankura Sammilani Medical College and Hospital from April 2013 to April 2018. Unruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy that were managed medically are excluded in this study.Results: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy was 0.59%, and the peak age of incidence was 20-25 years (33.84%) with third gravidas (46.3%) being most commonly affected. The most common symptoms were amenorrhea (96.92%), abdominal pain (90.76%), and vaginal bleeding (11.53%) and the most common signs were pallor (46.30%), shock (38.46%), and cervical motion tenderness (33.84%). Most common risk factors were past history of tubectomy (66.61%). The commonest site for tubal ectopic pregnancy was ampullary in 545 cases (84.89%). Salpingectomy done in 553 cases (85.07%) was the most commonly performed operation for ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy.Conclusions: In the surgical management of ectopic pregnancy, the benefits of salpingectomy over salpingostomy are uncertain. The early diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy reduces the presentation to response time, which is crucial in determining the morbidity, mortality and long-term effects for the patient. Although with earlier diagnosis, medical therapy with methotrexate can be offered and surgery avoided in some women, the best regimen remains unclear. There have been advances made in the management of ectopic pregnancy but there are still questions to be answered.

Background: Strategies have been engaged by different governments in improving these indices amongst which is the use of family planning. Hence; authors planned the present study to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of contraception among antenatal care patients.Methods: A total of 100 patients were enrolled in the present study. With the help of structured anonymous self-administered questionnaire, interviewing of the attendees of the antenatal clinic was done. The questionnaire was framed with aim of obtaining the clinical and demographic details of the subjects. All the data collecting interviews were conducted at the antenatal clinic. The participants were distributed a questionnaire and assistance given to any attendee with literal difficulty in filling the forms. The data obtained were collated in a purpose designed worksheet prepared for this study.Results: 78 percent of the subjects were aware about contraception, while the remaining 22 percent of the subjects were unaware about contraception. Knowledge of subjects about barrier method of contraceptive was present in 78 subjects.Conclusions: Antenatal women appear to have significant knowledge in relation to contraception.

Authors: Tripathi Urmila , Garg Pratibha
Published: July 2018

Background: Medical abortion represents an alternative to first trimester aspiration abortion and has been used by millions of women throughout the world. A numerous study has demonstrated that combination of mifepristone and misporostol is highly efficacious with success rate of approximately 97%.Methods: In the present randomized study 100 women who were requesting for first trimester medical abortion were included in the study. This randomized study was conducted for a period of one year in a tertiary health care centre. All these women were randomly assigned to receive either oral misoprostol (n=52) (group 1) or vaginal misoprostol (n=48) (group 2). We found that after the administration of mifepristone, vaginal misoprostol for the induction of abortion upto 49 days was more effective than oral misoprostol.Results: In present study maximum number of patients were in the age group of 26-30 years. Multiparous women comprised of maximum number of patients in both 70% in group 1 and 83% in group 2. The gestational age at the time of inclusion in study was maximum upto 7 weeks or 49 days gestation in both groups. Acceptability of medical abortion is more in urban locality i.e. 73% in group 1 and 81% in group 2. 73% in group 1 and 79% in group 2 chose to have misoprostol at home. 92% patients in group 1 and 95% patients in group 2 initiated bleeding per vaginum within 4 hours. Side effects like nausea, vomiting and diarrhea were compared. 92.4% patients in group 1 and 97% patients in group 2 who had expulsion of conception without need of surgical intervention was comparable. Only 2 patients in group 1 had incomplete abortion and needed surgical aspiration.Conclusions: This study showed UA-S/D ratio and UA-RI>2SD are significant predictors of perinatal deaths and immediate neonatal resuscitation in preeclampsia. Acute fetal distress in labour or neonatal nursery admission could not be predicted.

Published: July 2018

Background: Globally ovarian tumor is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women. Ovarian tumor has varied histiogenesis, clinical behavior and malignant potential. The aims and objectives of the present study is to study the histopathological pattern and age distribution of the ovarian tumors.Methods: A total of 84 cases were studied from January 2016 to December 2016. They were reviewed and analyzed for age, histopathological findings and clinical presentations. Classification was done according to WHO histologic classification of ovarian tumors.Results: Of the 84 cases, 75% were benign, 3.6% cases were borderline and 21.4% cases were malignant. Among the histological subtypes surface epithelial tumors comprised of 66.7% followed by germ cell tumors (23.9%). Serous cystadenoma (36.9%) was the most common benign tumor followed by mature cystic teratoma (17.9%). Serous cyst adenocarcinoma (10.7%) was the most common malignant tumour. Tumors were seen over age range of 10-78 years and maximum number of cases were in the 4th to 6th decade. Younger age group primarily presented with benign tumors whereas malignant tumors were common in elderly age group.Conclusions: Surface epithelial tumors were the commonest ovarian tumor. Maximum numbers of ovarian tumors were in the age range 40-59years and malignant tumors were common in >40 years of age.

Published: July 2018

Background: Factor replacement and blood product transfusion are the main stay of treatment of inherited coagulation disorders. Even though interventions with these products have led to the decrease in morbidity and mortality of these patients, repeated use of these products especially before 1980s where the viral inactivation of factors and blood bank screening methods were not stringent, have led to the occurrence of transfusion transmitted diseases in haemophiliacs especially hepatitis C infection.Methods: 50 children including adolescents under the age of 18 years with inherited coagulation disorders were screened for hepatitis B and C infection during 2 medical camps conducted at an interval of 6 months, blood samples and medical information were collected prospectively during these periods. The blood samples were tested for surrogate marker for hepatitis B and anti HCV using enzyme immunoassay.Results: All the children screened were negative for hepatitis B and C markers.Conclusions: The incidence of post transfusion hepatitis has dramatically decreased following stringent blood donor screening methods as well as availability of purified and recombinant factors. The current risk of transfusion transmitted infections in these patients are very low almost comparable with general population.
