Published: June 2022

Kanker merupakan penyakit yang ditandai dengan pertumbuhan sel yang tidak terkendali. Salah satu ciri dari adanya sel yang tumbuh tidak terkendali adalah adanya estrogen-reseptor-positif (ER+). Sekitar 67% hasil tes kanker payudara memiliki ER+. Profil kanker payudara dibagi menjadi 4 sub-tipe yaitu: Luminal A, Luminal B, basal-like, dan HER-2 enriched. Masing-masing kategori memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda terhadap kemoterapi adjuvant. Pada penelitian ini, digunakan pendekatan berbasis jaringan (network) untuk melakukan pemilihan fitur/biomarker molekuler yang berpotensi untuk membantu pemodelan dan klasifikasi sub-tipe kanker payudara. Fitur molekuler yang digunakan yaitu Copy Number Alteration (CNA) dan ekspresi gen. Hasil pemilihan fitur tersebut dibandingkan dengan akurasi berbasis fitur PAM50 dari studi literatur. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa fitur dari metode seleksi berbasis jaringan ini mampu menghasilkan performa yang sebanding dengan fitur PAM50 dan dapat menjadi alternatif untuk melakukan klasifikasi jenis kanker payudara.

Identification and sequencing of Salmonella require a specific primer as well as a virulence marker. Invasion gene (invA) is a gene found in all types of Salmonella, specific to Salmonella, and has a low mutation rate so that it can be used as a target gene for Salmonella identification. This study aimed to design a primer of invA gene of Salmonella spp. with long amplicons, has broad serovar coverage, and get an optimum PCR condition. Primers were designed and checked its specificity in silico using Primer-BLAST and then selected. Selected primer was evaluated for annealing temperature and primer concentration. Based on the sequential selection, it was obtained a set of invA gene primer with forwarding sequences GCCGGTGAAATTATCGCCAC (started at base 297) and reverses sequences CTCGTAATTCGCCGCCATTG (started at base 1763). Based on Primer-BLAST analysis, the primer gave an amplicon size of 1486 bp, has annealing temperature of 58 °C, capable of detecting at least 110 Salmonella serovars, capable to detect Salmonella contamination in chickens, and unable to detect the presence of Klebsiella sp., Citrobacter sp., Serratia sp., Hafnia sp., and E. coli. This primer can detect Salmonella very well with annealing temperature of 58 oC and primer concentration of 1.2 µM.

Published: June 2022

The lack of formal breast cancer screening guidelines for the transgender population and the unpreparedness of health professionals to provide adequate health care to this population are described in the literature. The objective of this integrative review was to present the proposals for breast cancer screening in the transgender population, based on the literature, being searched in the Medline, PubMed, SciELO, and Lilacs databases. The articles that addressed breast cancer screening in the female and/or male transgender population were selected, in addition to the associated studies with the use of hormone therapy and breast cancer in transgender people, using the terms such as “transgender people,” “early cancer diagnosis,” and “breast.” Of the 38 articles selected, 24 address recommendations for breast cancer screening in the female and/or male transgender population. There is limited population-based information on mammography screening in transgender people, which ultimately affects the analysis of cancer incidence in this population. The literature supports screening in the male transgender profile (similar to the female cisgender). In transgender females, recommendations are implemented based on expert’s opinions, such as mammographic screening after 5 years of hormone use. More studies on this subject are needed.

Objective: To evaluate a scoring system in predicting difficulty in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Study Design: Non-Randomized Prospective study. Setting: Surgical Unit-1 of Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi. Period: January 2018 to September 2018. Material & Methods: Patients with symptomatic gallstone disease that were admitted in SU-1 of Holy family hospital during the above period were included in the study. For collection of data, a pre-tested questionnaire was used after taking informed oral consent. On admission, one day before the surgery, preoperative points were allotted on basis of patient’s history, examination, hematological (CBC), biochemical (LFTs) and ultrasound results. Preoperative scores up to 5 was summed up as easy, scores 6 – 10 as difficult, 11 – 16 as very difficult. Calculated sample size was 229. SPSS version 22 and WHO Anthro calculator version 3.2.2 were used for data entry and analysis. Results: Among 230 patients that were included in the study, 188 were female and 42 were male. Various risk factors were found to have significant positive correlation with intraoperative difficulty during cholecystectomy. These are: Previous episodes of cholecystitis and pancreatitis (p=0.00), ERCP (p=0.00), tenderness in right hypochondrium (p=0.002), hepatitis serology (p=0.02), and Total Leukocyte Count (p=0.006). Whereas the following factors had insignificant relation with intraoperative difficult cholecystectomy: ALT and ALP (p>0.05, p=0.06 and 0.26 respectively) and hepatits serology (p=0.406). A significant correlation was found between preoperative and intraoperative scores of the patients (p=0.003) indicating that preoperative assessment of various risk factors can predict the level of difficulty of cholecystectomy and its conversion to open cholecystectomy. Conclusion: We may conclude that the scoring system evaluated in our study is a sturdy, reliable and useful benchmark to predict difficult cases. Preoperative prediction of the risk factors of conversion or difficulty of operation is an important point for operative planning and the high-risk patients may be informed accordingly.

Authors: DOĞAN Şeyma , ALTIN Cemil
Published: June 2022

In this study, the wing profile, which is difficult to calculate and determine, has been optimized with the help of Foilsim data and optimization algorithms. Foilsim data provided by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and used by many researchers, especially in developing model airplanes, has been provided to use in aircraft wing shape optimization. Although Foilsim is a very useful simulation program for designers, it cannot be used effectively in optimization processes due to its web environment. Lift coefficient is needed for Lift equation in airfoil shape optimization. Lift coefficient depends on angle, camber, and thickness of airfoil Calculation of Lift coefficient is difficult and needs heavy mathematical equations or real experiments. By using Foilsim data and optimization algorithm (Artificial Neural Networks: ANN, Artificial Bee Colony: ABC), wing angle, camber and thickness values, which are difficult to determine and calculate, were estimated and comparative experiments of the values were made. (Fixed Lift, Fixed Speed, Fixed Wing Area). Experimental results have shown that it is a useful study for airfoil shape optimization. In short, in this study, by using the Foilsim data and the optimization algorithm to provide the lifting force determined by the designer, the most suitable angle, camber, thickness values of the wing, which are difficult to determine and calculate, are determined to enable the production of efficient aircraft. The user enters the desired lift value into the ABC optimization algorithm and finds the required wing properties for the desired lift value.
