Background: Ovarian cancer is one of the top three most common cancers in women. Most are detected at an advanced stage, so early detection is essential. A scoring system can easily predict an ovarian malignancy. IOTA Simple Rules and RMI-4 are easy-to-implement scoring systems. This study aimed to evaluate the comparison between the accuracy of the IOTA simple rules scoring system and RMI-4 as a predictor of malignancy in ovarian tumor cases at Prof. Dr. IGNG Ngoerah general hospital.
Methods: This study used a diagnostic trial design involving 120 ovarian tumor patients undergoing surgery at Prof. Dr. IGNG Ngoerah general hospital, with 100 patients meeting the inclusion criteria. The collected data were tabulated and analyzed using SPSS for Windows ver. 22. Results were considered significant if p≤0.05.
Results: From 100 patient samples who met the inclusion criteria, 60 subjects (60%) were ovarian tumors with benign histopathologic results, and 40 (40%) subjects were tumors with malignant histopathology. The majority of ovarian tumors with malignant histopathology were found in the age group >50 years (52.5%), the menopausal group (57.5%), and multiparity (70%). CA-125 levels above 35 U/ml are found in 90% of the population, with details of 92.5% found in populations with malignant histopathological tumors. The AUC values for RMI-4 and IOTA simple rules are 0.846 and 0.925, with the p value for each scoring system being <0.001.
Conclusions: This study found that the IOTA simple rules scoring method has a better diagnostic value than RMI-4 scoring.

Published: June 2024

Fractures of the distal femur remain challenging to treat as satisfactory outcome demands anatomical articular reduction, rigid and stable internal fixation along with early range of motion. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the functional outcome in patients with unstable fractures of the distal femur treated with single versus dual plating.

: The study was a prospective study of 40 patients. The study was a prospective study of 40 patients (30 male and 10 female) with unstable fractures of the distal femur admitted to Goa medical college between June 2019 to June 2021 treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the distal femur with locked plates. After admission patients were subjected to routine pre operative evaluation and x-rays along with CT scan with 3 D reconstruction. During surgery, after lateral plating patients were subjected to varus stress test on table. If found to be positive, medial plate was applied. Medial plating was also advocated if medial cortex was found to be deficient due to severe communition or bone loss. Patients were followed up for an average of 10 months and knee function was evaluated evaluated using Sanders Functional Evaluation Knee Score.

Out of the 40 patients treated with plating, 24 were treated with single lateral plate and 16 were treated with medial as well as lateral plate. Out of the 16 treated with dual plating, 2 were open fractures treated by staged procedure (lateral plating and subsequent medial plating with iliac crest bone graft via a separate medial incision after a period of 10 weeks following primary surgery). 3 of the patients treated with single lateral plate showed a varus collapse upon weight bearing 12 weeks post op.

It was found that dual plating resulted in high union rates, early post op mobilisation due to more rigid fixation and less chances of varus collapse. However, overall when functional.

Published: June 2024

Congenital Talipes Equino Varus is a developmental deformation needing appropriate intervention for its correction, and the Ponseti technique is a conservative method used for its correction. This study aims to study the outcome of Ponseti correction using the Ponseti scoring system.

Children entirely treated by the Ponseti method for idiopathic Clubfoot in a tertiary care hospital were studied from October 2016 to October 2018. Fifty-three children were recruited for the study. Ethical principles adhered to. Structured study proforma was administered after obtaining informed consent from the parent/guardian. Ponseti's scoring system was applied to study various outcomes. IBM SPSS version 22 was used for statistical analysis.

Of 53 participants, 39 were male, and 14 were females. The mean total score in the study population was 82.36, with 30-98. Based on age at evaluation, the proportion of people with excellent outcomes was higher in the long-term group (30.76%), followed by the mid-term group (26.66%), and least in the short-term group (24%). Among the study participants, 24 (45.30%) had a Good (80-89) total score, 14 (26.4%) had an Excellent (90-100) total score, 9 (17%) had a Fair total score, and remaining 6 (11.3%) were had poor (<70) total score.

Conservative methods like the Ponseti technique can be utilized in our country as a treatment option for Clubfoot, with follow-up assessments using the Ponseti scoring system.
Extra-articular distal end radius fractures in elderly treated conservatively- functional outcome
Authors: Ranjolkar Rohit , Sajjanshetty Rajesh
Published: June 2024

An ageing population is associated with an increase in the frequency of distal radius fractures, an orthopaedic problem that affects many people. Orthopaedic surgeons have special concerns while treating some types of fractures, including those involving the distal end of the radius that occur outside of the joint. For this reason, we set out to compare the efficacy of conventional cast methods with that of percutaneous pinning in a sample of older adults.

From June 1, 2021 to June 1, 2022, researchers from Bidar Institute of Medical Sciences, Bidar, conducted a prospective, randomised trial. Thirty patients underwent cast immobilisation and closure reduction. thirty-one patients underwent closed reduction with percutaneous K wires. The patients underwent a clinical examination and X-rays at each subsequent follow-up.

The results showed that the group that had closed reduction K-wire fixation had greater range of motion, VAS scores, and loss of radial length compared to the other group. When looking at the Saito chart and Lindstrom's criterion findings for both groups, it was also evident of this. In 13% of patients, a pin tract infection developed following K-wire fixation but went away after the wires were removed. This was the sole serious side effect of the procedure.

When treating displaced, distal end radius fractures, the best, safest, and most complication-free method is closed reduction with percutaneous K-wire fixation.

Published: June 2024

: The incidence of different hip implants failing in situ, irrespective of the cause, is on the rise. On the other side, its management remains widely understudied. Bipolar hemi-arthroplasty contributes to the salvage of failed trochanteric fracture fixation. Managing such cases necessitates skills related to complex trauma and advanced arthroplasty. It is crucial for the surgeon to comprehend and individualize surgical modalities based on the patient, fracture, and implant.

This case series presents three different cases involving three distinct implants undergoing failure and their management through Bipolar Hemi-arthroplasty.

: Three previously operated hip fracture cases with three different implants in the elderly population presented with implant in situ failure. They were surgically managed with a cemented modular bipolar prosthesis. Following this, a postoperative protocol was maintained, and the postoperative outcome was graded using the Hip scoring system.

Bipolar arthroplasty enhances the long-term outcome of hemiarthroplasty due to reduced wear of the metal–cartilage interface. It stands as a viable, valid, and sound surgical modality compared to other surgical and non-surgical options.

The management of proximal tibia fracture has underdone significant changes in the recent years, while the main goals remain same i.e. to achieve a smooth articular surface, mechanical axis and joint stability. Recent advances in computed tomography and MRI based imaging have led to better understanding and classification of fracture and therefore better planning for treatment.

This is a prospective analysis of the proximal tibia fracture managed as per 4 column 10 segment concept in view of functional outcomes.

Radiological and functional outcomes using knee society score of the proximal tibia fractures operated and classified as per computed tomography based 4 column 10 segment concept were studied at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months from year 2019 to 2022.

Mean age of population sustaining proximal tibia fracture among males was 43.90 years and females was 48.71y with 86% predilection for male and 14% for female. Involvement of right tibia was 50 % in comparison to left tibia which was 46%, while 4% patients had involvement of both limbs. Distribution of proximal tibia fracture ; zero column -7.69%, one column- 55.77%, two column-21.15%, three column-15.38% average knee society score for proximal tibia fracture at the end of 9 months (knee score, function score) 87.65;79.54.

Single incident of superficial infection was encountered managed with debridement and parenteral antibiotics. Single incident of surgical site infection managed with implant removal, debridement and parenteral antibiotics as per culture sensitivity. Single incident of common peroneal nerve palsy was encountered repaired with extended Lobenhoffer approach.

Recent computed tomography based classification are very useful for fixation and deciding most suited surgical approach for proximal tibia fractures to achieve a smooth articular surface, mechanical axis and joint stability. Still, a long-term study with large study group is needed to confirm the usefulness of the same.
Nudos feministas en la experiencia chilena para repensar la seguridad, la justicia y el antipunitivismo
Authors: Ibarra Eliessetch María Ignacia , Brito Sofía Esther
Published: June 2024

El presente artículo interroga la relación entre justicia y castigo desde los feminismos antipunitivistas en el escenario de una creciente agenda de seguridad. Nos proponemos poner en tensión el reconocimiento punitivo como modo de hacer visibles las diversas violencias de género en los movimientos feministas chilenos de los últimos años. Para ello analizamos la problemática del “espacio seguro” como lugar libre de conflicto; la experiencia de victimización como modo de subjetivación/identificación feminista; y analizamos cómo las agendas de seguridad y justicia se tradujeron en los fallidos procesos constituyentes recientes ocurridos en Chile, sobre todo en el tránsito de una propuesta de Constitución feminista y plurinacional a una criminalizadora y securitista.

Published: June 2024

The pretest-posttest control group design is one of the most widely used quantitative experimental design models for evaluating the efficacy of programs, treatments, and interventions. Despite the prevalence and utility of this research design, best practices for data analytical procedures are not clearly defined. Invalid results decrease the chance of generalization. Given that Iranian Journals are interested in publishing pretest-posttest control group design studies, it is important to denote the accuracy of them. The aim of the current study is to explore the correct procedure for using ANCOVA in pretest-posttest control group designs to mitigate the potential limitations of this approach. This study explores the use of ANCOVA in pretest-posttest control group design. It has been done by analyzing data from experimental studies published in five Iranian journals indexed in PubMed or Scopus between 2011 and 2018. The results indicate that among the 280 published experimental studies in these journals, 53 papers (18.9 percent) used ANCOVA as the statistical test in pretest-posttest studies. The power of the test represents the probability of detecting differences between the groups being compared when such differences exist. Our analysis concludes that ANCOVA, which runs a multiple linear regression, is a suitable method for comparing and examining pretest-posttest study designs. Implications of this study have potential utility for researchers employing the use of pretest-posttest control group designs in various fields in and outside of Iran.

Published: June 2024

Aluminum Phosphide (ALP) is an effective, cheap, and highly toxic pesticide. ALP poisoning can have destructive effects on the human body, such as the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and central nervous system, although all organs can be involved. We describe a 53-year-old Iranian Kurdish man with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Supportive treatments such as hemodialysis and plasmapheresis were performed. After 23 days of hospitalization, the patient fully recovered and was discharged. Thrombotic microangiopathy such as HUS should be considered in patients with ALP toxicity that has a genetic defect in complement proteins. Combined use of hemodialysis and plasmapheresis improve outcomes in these patients.

Published: June 2024

Due to the wide variety of cervical vertebral congenital anomalies, knowledge of their types and related clinical conditions can prove to be helpful for physicians and surgeons in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The aim of this study is to report on a rare case of unstable cervical vertebral congenital anomaly in which the patient had a defect in the body of the C3 vertebra in addition to defects in the posterior arch of C1 and posterior element of C2. This type of anomaly has not been reported so far in the literature. To reduce the patient’s related neurological disorders, our treatment choice for this patient was occipitocervical fusion (OCF) surgery. At the 3-year postoperative follow-up, all sensory and motor problems related to this anomaly affecting the patient's upper and lower limbs and causing shoulder and neck pain were eliminated. In this rare type of anomaly, OCF surgery seems to be an effective choice in relieving the patient's neurological symptoms.

Published: June 2024

Background: This study's major aim is to investigate the situation of visceral leishmaniasis vectors, with a focus on their distribution and relationships to the disease in Iran and some other old-world nations.
Methods: The terms Iran and the Old World, along with the keywords sand flies, vectors, visceral leishmaniasis, distri­bution, and Phlebotomus, were searched in electronic databases from 1930 to 2018, including Pub-Med, Web of Sci­ence, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE.
Results: According to the findings, Phlebotomus tobbi was a mountain species, but it was also found in the plains, ro­dent nests, and rock crevices. This species was considered to be one of the vectors of visceral leishmaniasis in Iran. Phlebotomus kandelakii has been caught in Afghanistan, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey and Georgia. In Iran, the first infection of Phlebotomus kandelakii and Ph. perfiliewi transcaucasicus with Leishmania infantum were reported in northwest of Iran. Phlebotomus major was one of the complex sand flies, and its members include Ph. major (India, Nepal, and Paki­stan), Ph. neglectus (Southern Europe, Crimea and Iran), Ph. syriacus (Southwest Asia, Caucasus), Ph. notus (Afghani­stan and Iran), Ph. wenyoni (Iran and Iraq), and Ph. wui (China). The first natural infection of Ph. alexandri with Leishmania infantum was reported in 2006 in endemic foci of visceral leishmaniasis in Fars Province, southern Iran.
Conclusion: The findings of this project suggest that sand fly species of the subgenus Larrousisus play a key role in the transmission of all types of visceral leishmaniasis in Iran.

Emotion Recognition and Multi-class Classification in Music with MFCC and Machine Learning
Authors: Yoo Gilsang , Hong Sungdae , Kim Hyeocheol
Published: June 2024

Background music in OTT services significantly enhances narratives and conveys emotions, yet users with hearing impairments might not fully experience this emotional context. This paper illuminates the pivotal role of background music in user engagement on OTT platforms. It introduces a novel system designed to mitigate the challenges the hearing-impaired face in appreciating the emotional nuances of music. This system adeptly identifies the mood of background music and translates it into textual subtitles, making emotional content accessible to all users. The proposed method extracts key audio features, including Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), Root Mean Square (RMS), and MEL Spectrograms. It then harnesses the power of leading machine learning algorithms Logistic Regression, Random Forest, AdaBoost, and Support Vector Classification (SVC) to analyze the emotional traits embedded in the music and accurately identify its sentiment. Among these, the Random Forest algorithm, applied to MFCC features, demonstrated exceptional accuracy, reaching 94.8% in our tests. The significance of this technology extends beyond mere feature identification; it promises to revolutionize the accessibility of multimedia content. By automatically generating emotionally resonant subtitles, this system can enrich the viewing experience for all, particularly those with hearing impairments. This advancement not only underscores the critical role of music in storytelling and emotional engagement but also highlights the vast potential of machine learning in enhancing the inclusivity and enjoyment of digital entertainment across diverse audiences.

Published: June 2024

Objectives/Background. The objective of this work was to evaluate the in vitro antagonistic capacity of a strain of Clonostachys sp. against five species of fungi associated with diseases in economically important crops. Materials and Methods. Five fungal species associated with crop diseases were tested: Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum kahawae, C. musae, Fusarium oxysporum and F. solani. Dual cultures were performed with five replicates plus controls. Growth was recorded every 24 hours, until 360 hours were completed. Interactions were determined, the degree of antagonism and the percentage of colonization was calculated. Statistical analyses were performed with a generalized linear model (GLM). Results. All species evaluated showed antagonism of the overgrowth type. The degree of antagonism was classified into three classes, with class two being present in three of the species. The percentage of colonization was 100% at 216 h for three of the species and 264 h for the other two. There was no significant difference in the percentage of colonization (p =0.0073), but there was a significant difference in the time of invasion (p< 0.0001). Conclusion. Dual assays to test the antagonistic effect in vitro form the basis for the selection of candidates for biological control of fungi.

Porównania wzorców ze stanem faktycznym często ujawniają rozbieżności pomiędzy tym, co idealne, i tym, co realne. Spektrum rodzinne obejmuje tak rodziny będące wystarczającym wsparciem dla jej członków i gwarantujące im prawidłowy rozwój z samorealizacją włącznie, jak i rodziny toksyczne, szkodzące i uszkadzające. Przykładem takich familii są te naznaczone przemocą. Informacji o rodzinnych patologiach dostarczają rozmowy terapeutyczne i przedsięwzięcia badawcze. Na funkcjonowanie instytucji, jaką jest rodzina, mają wpływ różnorodne czynniki wewnętrzne i zewnętrzne. Wojna wszczęta przez Federację Rosyjską na Ukrainie jest przykładem drastycznego wpływu kontekstu zewnętrznego, który zakłóca wewnętrzne życie rodzinne.

Artykuł dotyczy porównania wzorów przemocy w rodzinach Polek i Ukrainek we Wrocławiu i na Dolnym Śląsku w kontekście problemów uchodźczych po agresji Rosji na Ukrainę. Analizowane są tylko zjawiska przemocowe dostrzegane przez kobiety. W ramach badania zrealizowano wywiady pogłębione z kobietami narodowości ukraińskiej oraz trzy badania ilościowe na trzech próbach celowych: osoby narodowości polskiej z rejonu Dolnego Śląska, osoby narodowości ukraińskiej przebywające obecnie na terenie województwa dolnośląskiego, kobiety z rodzin o stwierdzonej przemocy, pozostające pod opieką pracowników socjalnych MOPS Wrocław. Modele budowane na danych odnoszą się do postrzeganych wzorów zachowań przemocowych oraz skutków tychże zachowań. W obu modelach wyodrębnione zostały trzy wzory. W pierwszym przypadku wzór awanturniczy/ przedprzemocowy, wzór alkoholowo-przemocowy lub przemocy normalnej oraz wzór pełnej przemocy lub przemocy niedopuszczalnej. W wymiarze skutków: wzór standardowy/normalny, izolacyjny oraz przestępczy/patologiczny.
Przemoc domowa wobec kobiet w doświadczeniach ukraińskich migrantek
Authors: Dolińska Kamilla
Published: June 2024

Pomimo dokonujących się w Ukrainie zmian prawnych przemoc domowa ze względu na płeć pozostaje istotnym i złożonym problemem. Jej ważną determinantę wciąż stanowi kultura patriarchalna, powiązane z nią sztywne podziały ról płciowych oraz stereotypy płci. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie doświadczeń dotyczących przemocy domowej obecnych w życiu migrantek z Ukrainy przybyłych do Polski po 25 lutego 2022 r. – zrekonstruowanie zróżnicowanych zachowań przemocowych (wchodzących w zakres przemocy psychicznej, fizycznej i ekonomicznej) podejmowanych przez mężczyzn względem kobiet oraz ustalenie zakresu i siły kontroli sprawowanej przez mężczyzn, wynikającej z realizowanego w rodzinie scenariusza roli. Na bazie uzyskanego materiału badawczego kontrolę tę można ująć na kontinuum – od słabej, dopuszczalnej, czasami wręcz usprawiedliwionej, wynikającej z odmiennie definiowanych rodzinnych ról społecznych mężczyzn i kobiet oraz z akceptacji nierównego ich statusu w rodzinie, do silnej, niedopuszczalnej, niedającej się usprawiedliwić poprzez odwołania do ról społecznych i norm płci odnoszonych do kultury patriarchalnej. Podstawę empiryczną stanowią wyniki badań jakościowych zrealizowanych w 2023 r. w ramach projektu „Wzorce przemocy w rodzinach ukraińskich i ich zakotwiczenie w strukturach aksjonormatywnych ludności ukraińskiej, napływającej – w wyniku konfliktu zbrojnego z Federacją Rosyjską – do Wrocławia”.
The “Equity Waltz” in Canada: Whiteness and the informal realities of racism in education
Authors: Carr Paul R.
Published: June 2024

Canada has long perceived itself to be a country in which multiculturalism, and a concomitant respect for diversity, is a unique and defining feature of its identity. Although Canada is a de facto multicultural country, owing to its rapidly evolving demography and the explicit notion of multiculturalism enshrined in its Constitution, there remains a plethora of problems and issues related to equity, diversity and human rights. This paper explores the context and impact of racism in education within a framework that acknowledges and critically positions the predominance of Whiteness. The salience of identity, therefore, is a primary consideration to understanding how marginalized groups face systemic barriers in education. The concluding analysis sheds light on the educational policy process, and focuses on the notion of accountability for anti-racism and social justice in education within a time of neoliberal reforms. The paper is critical of the lack of attention, resources and comprehensive plans in place to ensure that all students benefit from a more holistic education that includes a focus on social justice.

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the impact of the pandemic on parent-child interactions. Parents of 466 children between 3 and 10 years of age answered a questionnaire via WhatsApp and social media platforms, addressing the frequency of allowing the use of electronic devices, providing help with schoolwork, and whether children witnessed conflicts between their parents and between other adults. Independent variables included: age, gender, and education of both parents and children; family income; the number of income contributors that reside in the household; responsibility for domestic activities and if these chores affected their routine. Factors associated with changes in parent-child interactions were examined using multinomial regression models. An unadjusted analysis of the independent variables was carried out, with those having a p-value <0.20 included in the adjusted model. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals were obtained. Following the onset of the pandemic, parents provided more assistance with schoolwork (343 – 73.6%) and allowed electronic devices more frequently (358 – 76.8%), but the recurrence of arguing with one another (256 – 54.9%) remained unchanged. Significant changes in parent-child interactions occurred due to the pandemic.
Estimating The Financial Repression Index for The Economy of Bangladesh: A Principal Component Analysis
Authors: Yousuf Md
Published: June 2024

Financial repression was a common practice in the past, but it became less common during the liberalization era of the 1980s and 1990s. With the rise in financial sector vulnerability following the Asian financial crisis, the Global Financial Crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic, repressive policies have once again become popular. Bangladesh, for instance, has imposed administrative interest rate ceilings. This study aims to assess the extent of financial repression on the economy of Bangladesh, using annual time series data spanning from 1973 to 2022. An aggregate financial repression index was calculated using the principal component analytical method, including the major policy variables such as real deposit rates, interest rate restrictions, capital account restrictions, the share of state-owned commercial banks in total loans, and statutory liquidity ratio. The reliability and validity of the results were tested by comparing them with the index calculated using different policy variables. The index of financial repression indicates that Bangladesh’s financial sector has undergone considerable liberalization, yet it remains subject to some degree of repression. In recent times, financial repression has intensified, particularly following the imposition of lending rate ceilings in the wake of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Policymakers are in a position to take proper measures to liberalize the financial sector and ensure financial stability.
The Effect of Uncertainty on Inflation: Evidence in ASEAN

Published: June 2024

This article examines the relationships between extreme poverty, economic growth, and inequality, assesses if changes in inequality dampen the impact of income on extreme poverty, and determines the magnitude of the inequality growth trade-off index in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras. A country-specific ARDL bound regression was conducted. The findings indicate the presence of direct and indirect dampening impacts of changes in inequality on income growth and extreme poverty reduction. The magnitude of the inequality growth trade-off- index indicates whether to prioritize growth and/or inequality reducing policies. This means that the higher the inequality, as in Honduras, the higher the economic or average income growth rate required to compensate for the increase in inequality to achieve a given level of extreme poverty reduction. Accordingly, there is no one-size-fits-all policy approach to tackling extreme poverty.

The described clinical case demonstrates a long diagnostic search in a patient with AL-amyloidosis. According to the literature, the most often described manifestation of the disease is kidney damage that manifests as nephrotic syndrome. This case is interesting because the reason for hospitalization was liver damage. Laboratory tests revealed cholestatic and cytolytic syndromes and dyslipidemia. Differential diagnostic included diseases with liver damage. In the hospital nephrotic syndrome was identifi ed, renal biopsy was performed that proved the diagnosis of AL-amyloidosis with combined damage to the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys.
