En France, les directives anticipées (DA) se sont vues reconnaître un statut légal en 2005, renforcé en 2016, toutefois une minorité de personnes fait le choix d’en rédiger. Dans le contexte de la maladie grave, quel est leur contenu ? Quelles informations relatives à leur prise en charge ou leur fin de vie y déposent-elles ? L’objectif de cette recherche qualitative est d’analyser le contenu des DA rédigées par des patients atteints d’hémopathies malignes afin de mieux comprendre leur appropriation. L’étude s’est déroulée en deux étapes sur une durée totale de huit ans et deux mois : un travail préliminaire, rétrospectif et monocentrique et une seconde étape prospective et multicentrique dans six sites français. L’analyse qualitative des DA a été accomplie par un binôme composé d’un hématologue sénior et d’un chercheur en sciences humaines et sociales. Une analyse thématique a été réalisée avec identification des principaux messages et mots clés. Les 35 DA collectées sont investies de trois façons différentes : l’appropriation est 1) purement juridique avec une citation de la loi in extenso sans personnalisation de l’écrit ; 2) centrée sur les actes et traitements médicaux souhaités ou refusés ; 3) un moyen de transmettre des messages personnels à l’attention de leurs proches comme leur confiance, l’amour qu’il leur porte ou les modalités d’obsèques souhaitées. En conclusion, nos résultats objectivent que la rédaction de DA ne se limite pas aux patients en fin de vie et qu’au-delà de la transmission d’informations relatives aux actes ou traitements médicaux, les patients les utilisent pour y déposer des messages personnels à leurs proches. Ce nouveau rôle des DA pourrait favoriser la communication intrafamiliale même si ce n’est pas leur finalité première. Faire évoluer les DA vers un concept plus large, comme une planification anticipée des soins, pourrait être un moyen de repenser l’outil et de toucher un plus grand nombre de personnes.
The Return of the Republic
Authors: Diamond Hanna
Published: April 2019

During the Liberation of Toulouse, crowd photography dominated
the local press rather than the scenes of combat and barricades that marked
coverage in Paris and elsewhere. This article shows how crowd photography
contributed to a common construction of republicanism across the
Toulouse press and exhibitions. It argues that the circulation of these images
not only communicated the message that the “people” were once again
sovereign, but also implied that these populations had been instrumental in
their liberation, thereby contributing to the mythology of “la France résistante.”
Editors mobilized crowd photography to convey to viewers the
importance of adopting their republican roles at a time of community
reconstruction. Reading the photography of the Liberation of Toulouse
reveals that while photographic messaging in Liberation France varied in
line with local circumstances, it nonetheless played a potent role in contributing
to democratic resurgence.
The Value of Nation
Authors: Mazouz Sarah
Published: April 2019

Drawing on ethnographical observations made in the Naturalization
Office of a prefecture of the Paris region, and on interviews carried out
with bureaucrats and French citizens who have been naturalized, this article
examines both the institutional process of granting citizenship as well as its
impact on subjectivities. It investigates the assumptions and broad judgments
that underlie the granting of French citizenship to see how norms
and values linked to this procedure circulate between bureaucrats and applicants.
It focuses on the idea of “deservingness,” linked to the act of being
granted French citizenship, to determine how bureaucrats from the Naturalization
Office and French naturalized citizens differently appropriate this
notion. By addressing the articulated difference between bureaucratic practice
and lived experience, this article aims to highlight the political, moral,
and ethical dimensions at stake in the procedure of making foreigners into
French citizens.

Requiem for a Waria
Authors: Tidey Sylvia
Published: April 2019

This article engages recent queries in anthropology regarding
where to find openings for reimagining, recreating, or rearticulating
a moral and political otherwise. I suggest we can find such openings
in the political potentiality of ironic experiences—intensely unnerving
confrontations with the discrepancy between accepted norms and cherished
ideals, of which these norms fall short. Through a person-centered
account of one of Indonesia’s most well-known waria (transgender
woman), I demonstrate how an out-of-the-ordinary woman’s pursuit of
a pious, ordinary life occasions a profound estrangement from common
understandings of what it means to be Muslim. This, then, facilitates
the possibility of reimaging religious and political orientations despite a
national political context of growing incommensurability between Islam
and non-heteronormativity.
Cinema and the Haptic in Modern Japan
Authors: Miyao Daisuke
Published: April 2019

The process of modernization in Japan appeared as a separation of
the senses and remapping of the body, particularly privileging the sense of
vision. How did the filmmakers, critics, and novelists in the 1920s and 1930s
respond to such a reorganization of the body and the elevation of vision in the
context of film culture? How did they formulate a cinematic discourse on remapping
the body when the status of cinema was still in flux and its definition
was debated? Focusing on cinematic commentary made by different writers,
this article tackles these questions. Sato Haruo, Ozu Yasujiro, and Iwasaki Akira
questioned the separation of the senses, which was often enforced by state.
Inspired by German cinema released in Japan at that time, they explored the
notion of the haptic in cinema and problematized the privileged sense of
vision in this new visual medium.
“Something Outside of Ourselves”
Authors: Debinski Anna
Published: April 2019

Documentary film has traditionally perpetuated damaging cultural
understandings of disability. However, Astra Taylor’s Examined Life (2008) and
Bonnie Sherr Klein’s Shameless: The Art of Disability (2006) utilize documentary
techniques to problematize the culturally constructed boundary between
disability and able-bodiedness. Spectators are dragged into simultaneously
traditional and innovative relationships with the spaces, bodies, and lives inhabited
by the documentaries’ disabled subjects. These relationships encourage
connection and intimacy even as they contain moments of distance and
alienation. The films’ ambivalent representations foster an appreciation of disabled
bodies as a reflection of valuable human diversity and a denaturalization
of disability’s Otherness. As examples of new disability documentary cinema,
the documentaries reflect the political potential of complex and affective representations
of disabled subjects.

Published: April 2019

Introduction: Nosocomial infections with the multidrug resistant microorganisms remain the major concern in the hospitalized patients. Due to the underlying illness, trauma, various neurosurgeries, patients admitted to neurology/ neurosurgery units become more vulnerable to acquire device associated infections during their hospital stay. Objectives: To study the spectrum of uropathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern among patients admitted to the neurology/neurosurgery unit. Material and methods: A prospective study was conducted in the bacteriology laboratory, Department of Microbiology over a period of 4 months. Urine samples from the patients admitted to neurology and neurosurgical unit (ward and ICU) were processed and identified as per the standard protocol. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done using Kirby- Bauer method as per CLSI 2014 guideline. Results: Majority of the urinary isolates belonged to Enterobacteriaceae family in both ward and ICU patients. Among these, 91 out of 106 (86%) isolates in the ward and 43 out of 51 (84%) isolates in ICU were found to be multi drug resistant. Nitrofurantoin was observed to be resistant in more than 75% of both ward and ICU isolates. Conclusion: Majority of nosocomial uropathogens were found to be multidrug resistant. This study emphasizes the emergence of MDR isolates and nitrofurantoin resistance among the nosocomial uropathogens.
Chromobacterium violaceum – an unusual pathogen. Perspectives to ponder!!
Authors: Banik Amit , H Sanjeev , Kumar Abhay , Snehaa K.
Published: April 2019

Human infection due to Chromobacterium violaceum is rare, even though the bacteria are ubiquitous in distribution. Without appropriate antimicrobial therapy, the consequences can be rapidly fatal if septicemia sets in. Both pigmented and nonpigmented varieties are equally virulent. Mortality rates are quite high despite treatment. The history of trauma and simultaneous exposure to water and soil should alert clinician about this entity. Fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides show good sensitivity, whereas penicillin and early cephalosporins are poor therapeutic options. Treatment for an extended period beyond clinical cure is indispensable to prevent relapse. Combination of prompt diagnosis, optimal antimicrobial therapy, and adequate therapeutic duration for C. violaceum infection is the key for successful therapy. We present here two cases of C. violaceum infections with interesting presentations with a brief review of literature.
DENOTATIVE-NOMINATIVE TYPOLOGY OF ENGLISH IDEONYMS
Authors: Vasilyeva Olga
Published: April 2019

The article considers denotative nominative classification of English ideonyms. One thousand English ideonyms selected according to the frequency of use in print and electronic media have provided the material for this research. The topical problems of ideonymics incude establishment of denotative nominative systematization of the relevant proprietary units, which involves their grouping according to the type of the named objects. The denotative nominative classification of ideonyms embraces four divisions: artionyms, i.e. proper names of works of art, which are further divided into imagionyms, sсeneonyms, musiconyms and filmonyms; biblionyms that cover proper names of all written and verbal texts as well as their series and collections; gemeronyms, i.e. proper names of the media, which are divided into pressonyms and electronyms according to the method of transmitting the information and include both radio and television programs of exclusively informational nature rather than those of entertaining or educational character; computeronyms, which absorb all proper names designed to designate different types of computer programs. The poetonymic sphere is understood as a collection of onyms in artistic texts creating a complex and harmonious system existing in any artistic work as a result of their interrelations. This concerns not only literary works but also those in cinematography, computer art, etc., since proper names act in each of them as components of the virtual picture of the world, thus enabling to refer to the existence of not only the poetonymic sphere, but also the virtualonymosphere. Therefore, it can be concluded that ideonyms can be divided into four classes by their correlation with denotate, namely artionyms, biblionyms, gemeronyms and computeronyms, subject to further specification. Separate terms have been created for ideonyms of the first and second specification levels whereas descriptive terminology is applied for further subdivisions. Each of the analyzed divisions has its own specific functioning, both structural and semantic, which makes further intvestigation in this direction relevant.
MANIPULATING CATEGORIES IN PUBLIC SPEECHES AND THEIR TRANSLATIONS: COGNITIVE RHETORICAL APPLICATION OF VANTAGE THEORY
Authors: Potapenko Serhiy
Published: April 2019

The article applies Vantage Theory, which studies the ways of categorization with respect to human orientation in space-time, to revealing three types of manipulating categories structuring the addressee’s worldview: overcategorization, decategorization and new category construction. It is found that overcategorization, aimed at intensifying the parameters constituting the categorical focus, is reflected in the use of words denoting the utmost intensification of the focal categorical parameters, while partial categorization is expressed by the lexical units intensifying focal parameters to a certain degree. Decategorization is shown to reflect five ways of diminishing focal parameters. Similarly to overcategorization, the absolute and partial decategorizations reflect the utmost and fractional loss of focal features respectively; the situational decategorization concerns the reduction of the focal parameters denoted by the inclusive deictic unit we; the generalizing variant is rendered by the units extending the limits of a particular category; the universal type refers to the superordinate categorization level. New category construction consists in representing novel entities by word formation in the Russian original and by construction formation in the English translation with the sender being more daring in these passages than the translator who in the majority of other cases follows the vantage construction suggested by the speaker.
STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF VERBAL CONFLICT SITUATION (BASED ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE DISCOURSE)
Authors: Chayka Larysa
Published: April 2019

The article provides the results of the verbal conflict analysis based on the English language dialogical discourse highlighting the
problems related to its definition, structure and dynamics. The paper discusses a series of issues concerning the verbal conflict
which is characterized by linguistic manipulation, i.e., by using language features and principles of its application on the purpose
of hidden influence on the addressee in the right direction for the addresser. The article offers definitions of concepts of the verbal
conflict situation, its phases and components, identifies actual and potential kinds of the verbal conflict, depicts individual images
of the verbal conflict situation. The article considers the ideas of communicators of themselves and their partners on conflicting
speech communication about the goals, opportunities, social characteristics and mental state; on the environment in which the
verbal conflict occurs; on the code of communicative act; on the communication channel through which communicative interaction
is carried out. The work characterises two types of actions that are part of a system of counter-actions in the context of emotional
states, the purpose of which is to block the intentions of another communicator directly or indirectly and to achieve the ultimate
purpose. Direct or indirect going out of the verbal conflict situation is characterised. Among the various manipulative communicative
steps there are the tactics which are known to psychologists and specialists in the theory of communication, such as: masking
one’s own intentions; outright misinformation of the enemy; false consent; enticement; expectation; demonstration of false and true
goals (distraction of attention); bluff, etc. Escalation of the verbal conflict is treated as clashing on the subject-activity basis or on
the personal basis. Several variants of the actual course of the conflict speech interaction are distinguished. Finally, we offer some
concluding remarks and suggestions for further investigations.
Everyday discourses of belonging of first-generation Eritrean refugees in South Africa: lived experience and attachment*
Authors: Tewolde Amanuel Isak
Published: April 2019

Research is scant on the everyday sense of belonging of refugees in South Africa. This paper addresses this gap by exploring the everyday discourses of belonging of Eritrean refugees in South Africa. Purposive sampling technique was used to recruit participants, and qualitative data was gathered from 11 participants in the City of Tshwane, South Africa, through open-ended interviews and focus group discussions. Analysis of data resulted in three dominant discourses: 1) ‘we feel like outsiders’; 2) ‘we are neither here nor there’; and 3) ‘South Africa is home’. Drawing on the participants’ discourses, I argue that in the South African context, refugees’ sense of belonging tends to be varied mirroring multifaceted lived experiences. Participants’ construction of South Africa as their home also counters previous research that portrayed foreign nationals in South Africa as ‘excluded’.* This article is based on research conducted at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.
“Switzerland doesn’t want me” Work, precarity and emotions for mobile professionals’ partners
Authors: Cangià Flavia
Published: April 2019

A wide range of professions demands mobility as a requisite for “excellence”, success and “good performance”. At the same time, more precarious and flexible conditions, ranging from unemployment, to temporary, free-lance and self-employed occupations, now characterize the mobile trajectories of a large number of professionals and their partners. What is the emotional cost of these conditions in mobility? How do mobile professionals’ partners feel and deal with feeling rules regarding unemployment and job search when moving? The article examines the case of Switzerland, by exploring the experience of mobile professionals’ partners.
An Overview of Rural to Urban Migration in China and Social Challenges
Authors: Qi Ziwei
Published: April 2019

The rural to urban migration in China represents one of the greatest internal migrations of people in history as rural populations have moved to cities in response to growing labour demand. One major cause of the increased labour demand was the “Reform and Open Market Policy” initiated at the end of the 1970s. The policy amplified the rural to urban divide by promoting a more thoroughly market-based economy with a corresponding reduction in the importance of agricultural production and a greater emphasis on non-agricultural market sectors. As a result, a series of economic reforms have drastically changed the cultural and social aspects of the rural area over the past three decades. Many social problems have been created due to rural to urban migration. These problems include institutional discrimination because of the restrictive household registration policies; social stigmatisation and discrimination in state-owned employment sectors and among urban residents; psychological distress and feelings of alienation.
The EU and Human Rights as Institutional Facts in the Finnish Political Discourse on Family Reunification
Authors: Hyökki Linda
Published: April 2019

This article analyses the Finnish political response to the refugee influx connected with the Syrian war and violent conflicts in its neighbouring states. In July 2016, a law amendment on the Finnish Aliens Act about a secured income prerequisite for family reunification applications came into force. Using argumentation schemes as outlined by Fairclough & Fairclough (2012), this article analyses the discursive framing of the law amendment in Parliament. The paper benefits from the social ontology of John Searle (1995; 2010) and utilises his concept of institutional facts. The analysis shows that, as normative sources for action, the institutional context of the EU, as well as the Human Rights, possess different degrees of deontic modality which in turn shapes the representation of social reality in the context of the refugee crisis and its global and local impact.
Editorial
Authors: Cohen Jeffrey H.
Published: April 2019

The diverse papers presented in this issue of Migration Letters continue to celebrate our goal to serve as both a destination for, and inspiration to research in migration. The international scholars gathered in these papers are focused on refugees; the value and meaning of social networks for movers and the second-generation; the challenges of the border to status, work and belonging; remittance practices and entrepreneurship, as well as concerns for methods and the presentation of data. Omata, Bauhn, Ellis, Hyokki, and Sert detail the challenges facing refugees as they negotiate their status vis-à-vis their destination communities. A second set of articles bring a critical eye to the role social networks play in the negotiation of daily life and around health (Munoz and Collazo); schooling (Ivashinenko); citizenship (Privara), and the second-generation (Tewolde and Freyer). An emphasis on the challenges of internal as well as international borders and crossing is followed through the articles by Koca (EU policy), Cangià (immigrants to Switzerland), To and Qi (working in China). Focused on remittances, labour and entrepreneurship are the articles by Petreski (working in Macedonia) and Linter. Methodology is a central concern to papers by Lacroix and Zufferey who rethink the use of a “life-course” approach to migration and Herda who explores how citizens perceive and more importantly misperceive immigrant populations.

Published: April 2019

The article deals with the important problem in pediatrics - assessment of vitamin D status by level of metabolite 25 (OH) D (calcidiol) in the peripheral blood of adolescents with hypertension. The study included 87 children aged 12-17 years with various degree of essential arterial hypertension severity. Insufficiency of vitamin D was observed in 84 % (17.0 ± 4.89) ng/ml, deficiency of vitamin D was observed in 11,5 % (8.03 ± 1.24) ng/ml). The degree of vitamin D insufficiency in children with hypertension and metabolic syndrome is higher than in children with hypertension and without metabolic syndrome. Vitamin D content also depends on the age, the younger adolescent the higher insufficiency of vitamin D. Among 14th years old children its level was (14.7 ± 4.46) ng/mL, among 17th years old adolescents it was (18.1 ± 6.23) ng/ml. The lowest level of 25(OH)D was found in February (11.3 ± 4.08) ng/ml. The highest content of active vitamin D metabolite found in July - (27.6 ± 5.56) ng/ml.
IMMUNOLOGIC REACTIVITY IN THE FIRST DAYS AFTER THE CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA

Published: April 2019

The proportion of the craniocerebral injuries (CI) is 25-40 % of all kinds of injuries in the world. The mortality rate due to ChMT is 30 persons per 100 thousand of the population, and over a third of victims die in medical institutions in the first three days after entering. The research of immune system condition and its role in formation of clinical implications, possible complications in victims with ChMT remains a poorly studied problem. Few literary data reflect results of surgical interventions in a brain or fighting (explosive) injuries for 3-5 days. Reactions of adaptive immunity and compensatory immune reactions in the first days after a trauma represent a class of the protective and adaptive phenomena which develop only in extreme conditions, show response to damage and can be reactions of cascade type and can compensate a neurologic injury. The complex immunologic research of victims in the first days after a trauma will allow to determine parameters which will help to prognosticate character of possible complications, to lower disability percent. The increased values of immunologic indicators are marked in 25,0-66,7 % of persons with moderate trauma severity (CD10+, CD16+, IL-2, CD8+, IgE, IL-6) and in 16,7-100 % of victims with serious degree of ChMT (CD8+, CD16+, CD71+, CD95+, CD25+, IL-6, -10, IgE, IgM, HLA-DR+), at the same time a wider range of indicators involve in the adaptive immune response. In the first days after getting injured rising of values of cytokine and cytotoxic activity testifies to the expressed tension in the immune system that promotes reduction of spare capacities of immune homeostasis in victims and development of secondary ecologically dependent immune imbalances in the form of complications.
THE POPULATION-BASED CANCER REGISTRY AS A RESOURCE FOR RESEARCH AND PRACTICAL HEALTHCARE
Authors: Valkov M Yu , Karpunov A A , Coleman M P , Allemani C , Pankratieva A Yu , Potekhina E F , Valkova L E , Grjibovski A M
Published: April 2019

Population-based cancer registries collect a standardized dataset about all patients diagnosed with a malignancy who live in the defined territory covered by the registry, from initial diagnosis through investigation and treatment, to the eventual death of the patient. This enables estimation of the cancer burden and surveillance of trends over time, as the evidence base for cancer control policies. There are more than 300 population-based cancer registries around the world, covering about 5% of the world's population, but the proportion is much higher in developed countries than in developing countries. Adherence to international standards of data collection and quality control is extremely important, because it enables robust comparisons of incidence, prevalence and survival, both between the regions of the country and internationally. These comparisons inspire changes in cancer prevention, and clinical practice, and progress in the organisation and delivery of policies for cancer control. The examples of such comparisons are international projects Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Globocan and the CONCORD programme for the global surveillance of cancer survival. In this article, we describe the organisation and experience of practical application of data from the Arkhangelsk regional cancer registry, both within Russia and in international collaborations.
Back to the Future: The Uses of Television in the Digital Age
Authors: Bailey Michael
Published: April 2019

This article considers some of the present-day issues, challenges and possibilities facing television broadcasting via a critical examination of the recently published Goldsmiths report on the future of public service television in the twenty-first century. Focusing mainly on UK terrestrial broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5), the article summarises and expands on the report's key findings and recommendations, particularly in relation to questions concerning digitalisation, content, diversity, quality, marketisation, funding and national and regional heritage. The article argues that, despite the rise of the Internet and the proliferation of digital platforms, television viewing remains a common source of information and entertainment and is characterised by meaningful continuities. Additionally, the article outlines the vitally important role played by David Puttnam, chair of the Goldsmiths inquiry, in defending public service television through his active engagement with relevant parliamentary committees and as a widely respected media professional. Finally, the article reflects on the continuing relevance of the 1962 Pilkington Report on Broadcasting, which was similarly commissioned in order to evaluate the purposes of television. In so doing, the article suggests that Pilkington's criticisms of creeping commercialism and the ensuing regulatory proposals still represent a cogent engagement with the idea of public service broadcasting as a primary facilitator of deliberative democracy.
‘It's spiritual, man’:Eddie the Eagleand English Amateurism
Authors: Robinson Matthew
Published: April 2019

The theme of amateurism has been persistent throughout the history of the British biopic, evidenced in films including Scott of the Antarctic (1948), The Magic Box (1951) and The Flying Scotsman (2006). Eddie the Eagle (2016), a film about ski-jumper Eddie ‘the Eagle’ Edwards and his preparation for the 1988 Winter Olympics where he finished 73rd out of 73 competitors, exemplifies how fascination with the amateur continues in contemporary biopic production. However, Eddie the Eagle represents the amateur ethos within a particularly unstable period for organised sports. The integrity of the Olympics and organised sports in general has been undermined by persistent corruption which centres on hosting rights, bribery and the use of performance-enhancing drugs by competitors. This article traces the genealogy of the amateur in British biopics, before considering the wider context in which Eddie the Eagle was produced. It then employs textual analysis of key sequences to illuminate the film's representation of amateurism and how it is constructed through oppositions: the value of amateurism against professionalism and the struggle of the outsider against the sporting Establishment. It suggests that Eddie the Eagle continues a theme at the heart of various British biopics, namely the integrity of the amateur and the value of taking part and ‘doing one's best’, at a time when the integrity of organised sport is increasingly under threat.

Acute Pancreatitis Complicated By Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction- A Case Report
Authors: Ying Seet Huey , Kheong Ooi Chee
Published: April 2019

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis
complicated by acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a rare
clinical entity. It poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to emergency
physician.Case Report: We report a 86-year-old
lady who presented with both chest and abdominal pain. Electrocardiogram showed
acute anterior myocardial infarction and laboratory results showed acute pancreatitis
with elevated amylase levels. The patient was hemodynamically unstable despite
resuscitation. She succumbed to her condition whilst she was being treated in
the emergency department.

Conclusion: Although there are
established treatment guidelines for acute myocardial infarction and acute
pancreatitis, it requires clinical judgement to ensure the treatment of one
diagnosis does not worsen the condition of the other.
USE OF HIGH-DOSE OF UROKINASE DURING CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION FOR CLINICALLY SUSPECTED MASSIVE PULMONARY EMBOLISM.
Authors: Chiscano Camon Luis , Ruiz Rodriguez Juan Carlos , Anselmo Laura Dono , Sanmartin Adolf Ruiz
Published: April 2019

Introduction: We are presenting
6 patients who suffered a cardiac arrest (CA) for suspected pulmonary embolism.
Before establishing a definitive diagnosis, advanced life support (ALS)
algorithm was initiated. Urokinase dosed as 15.000 UI/kg (weight) was
administered initially, followed by 4.400 UI/Kg for 12 hours as a continuous
intravenous perfusion. Two patients presented absolute contraindications for fibrinolytic
therapy, however only one patient presented a major hemorrhagic complication.
Global mortality rate was 83%. Case report: We present 6 cases
of patients with CA due to MPE
who were treated with high doses of urokinase during cardiopulmonary resuscitation
and later admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Conclusion: Our observations suggest that the clinical suspected MPE with CA can also be
one of the recommended applications of thrombolysis with high-dose bolus
injection of thrombolytic with efficacy.

Published: April 2019

Introduction: Bilateral subdural hematoma (SDH) following ventriculoperitoneal
(V/P) shunt application was discussed in present case.Case Report: 8-year-old girl was operated due to thoracolumbar meningomyelocele
immediately after birth. V/ P shunt was inserted in right posterior parietal
region due to hydrocephalus when she was 3 month-old. At age of 3 years, V/P shunt
dysfunction was considered, and second V/P shunt was inserted in left posterior
parietal region. One year after, patient was reevaluated, and CT images showed
bilateral subacute SDH.  Hematoma evacuation
was not considered, but right ventricular catheter was ligated. At four years
follow-up, no additional neurological impairment was observed in patient and CT
scan revealed that SDHs were retracted greatly.Concusion:
It should be
kept in mind that SDH could develop after V/P shunt surgery. Additionally, it
could be said that one of most important factor in determination of treatment
of this complication was primarily neurological examination findings of
patient.
A Case of Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum
Authors: Çolak Tamer , Çelik Kaan
Published: April 2019

Introduction:
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is described as the
presence of air in the mediastinum without any specific etiological factor or
trauma, and it is a rare clinical situation. In this case report, a rare
case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum was presented. Case
report: A
23-year-old male patient was admitted to our emergency department with the
complaints of throat congestion, difficulty in breathing and chest pain while playing soccer. An increase of
linear-type transparency starting from the right paratracheal area and
extending to the mediastinum, and a subcutaneous emphysema in the neck region
were detected on the posteroanterior (PA) chest X-ray of the patient, which is
compatible with pneumomediastinum (PM).  

Conclusion:
History, systemic examination and radiological imaging are very important for
the patients with chest pain. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum should be taken into consideration in
the differential diagnosis of chest pain and breathing distress.
Automated Control Signal Reception Acknowledgement System Using Nrf24l01p Wireless Transceiver Module and Arduino
Authors: Mahbub Mobasshir
Published: April 2019

In this era of modern technology wireless control system is a most used method to control electrical or electronic devices and/or monitoring from a distant part. It is easier to implement a wireless system. Because of the barriers in implementing wired system wireless system is much effective than wired. But the wireless system has also some problems or deficits. One of them is data loss during the transmission due to various causes like surrounding environmental reason and others. If signal is lost the receiver will remain completely blind as it is not receiving the signal. Another one can be the receiver is unable to receive signal due to the technical fault of receiver end whether the transmitted signal is stable. Especially these issues rise in case of wireless control. That is why an acknowledgement system is necessary to determine whether the receiver is receiving the transmitted signal or not. The developed system is an effective system with nRF24L01Plus transceiver module and Arduino Uno.
Permuted Pattern Matching Algorithms on Multi-Track Strings
Authors: Hendrian Diptarama , Ueki Yohei , Narisawa Kazuyuki , Yoshinaka Ryo , Shinohara Ayumi
Published: April 2019

A multi-track string is a tuple of strings of the same length. Given the pattern and text of two multi-track strings, the permuted pattern matching problem is to find the occurrence positions of all permutations of the pattern in the text. In this paper, we propose several algorithms for permuted pattern matching. Our first algorithm, which is based on the Knuth–Morris–Pratt (KMP) algorithm, has a fast theoretical computing time with O ( m k ) as the preprocessing time and O ( n k log σ ) as the matching time, where n, m, k, σ , and occ denote the length of the text, the length of the pattern, the number of strings in the multi-track, the alphabet size, and the number of occurrences of the pattern, respectively. We then improve the KMP-based algorithm by using an automaton, which has a better experimental running time. The next proposed algorithms are based on the Boyer–Moore algorithm and the Horspool algorithm that try to perform pattern matching. These algorithms are the fastest experimental algorithms. Furthermore, we propose an extension of the AC-automaton algorithm that can solve dictionary matching on multi-tracks, which is a task to find multiple multi-track patterns in a multi-track text. Finally, we propose filtering algorithms that can perform permuted pattern matching quickly in practice.

MicroRNA regulation is crucial for gene expression and cell functions. It has been linked to tumorigenesis, development and metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC). Recently, the let-7 family has been identified as a tumor suppressor in different types of cancers. However, the function of the let-7 family in CRC metastasis has not been fully investigated. Here, we focused on analyzing the role of let-7g in CRC. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) genomic datasets of CRC and detailed data from a Taiwanese CRC cohort were applied to study the expression pattern of let-7g. In addition, in vitro as well as in vivo studies have been performed to uncover the effects of let-7g on CRC. We found that the expression of let-7g was significantly lower in CRC specimens. Our results further supported the inhibitory effects of let-7g on CRC cell migration, invasion and extracellular calcium influx through store-operated calcium channels. We report a critical role for let-7g in the pathogenesis of CRC and suggest let-7g as a potential therapeutic target for CRC treatment.
