Published: February 2020

Secara kasat mata dalam praktiknya modus operandi tindak pidana di bidang perbankan kian hari terus- menerus meningkat, baik dari sisi kualitas maupun kuantitasnya. Bukan hanya dilakukan oleh orang yang berada di luar bank. Namun demikian juga dapat dilakukan oleh orang di dalam bank itu sendiri dan dapat pula terjadi kerja sama antara orang dalam maupun orang di luar bank, yang menjadikan bank sebagai sararan/objek dan sarana untuk melakukan kejahatan. Tindak pidana di bidang perbankan, walaupun sudah ada kebijakan regulasi yang menga-tur dan memberikan ancaman sanksi pidana terhadap pelakunya, baik yang termu-at di dalam Undang- undang Perbankan Nomor 7 Tahun 1992 yang diperbaharui dengan Undang- undang Nomor 10 Tahun 1998 maupun di luar Undang- undang Perbankan,yang berkaitan dengan kegiatan perbankan lainnya, seperti tindak pidana pemalsuan warkat dan/ atau dokumen bank dalam pemberian kredit,penipuan, pengge-lapan dana nasabah, penyalahgunaan wewenang/jabatan dan lainnya, yang sudah banyak pelaku tindak pidana di bidang perbankan yang dijerat dan divonis pidana. Permasalahannya, tindak pidana di bidang perbankan kenyataannya terus- menerus menunjukkan peningkatan kualitas maupun kuantitasnya, sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya menga-tasinya. Hal inilah yang menarik  perhatian penulis untuk  melakukan penelitian tentang “Faktor- faktor apakah yang mempengaruhi perlu dilakukan kebijakan regulasi dalam penanggulangan tindak pidana di bidang perbankan”, dengan bahasan dilihat dari faktor internal dan faktor ekternal perlu dilakukan kebijakan regulasi dalam penanggulangan tindak pidana di bidang perbankan.

Effects of radiation and chemical reaction on MHD flow past a vertical plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion
Authors: Rajput U S , Kumar Gaurav
Published: February 2020

This research investigates the effects of radiation, chemical reaction and porosity of the medium on unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate with variable wall temperature and mass diffusion in the presence of transversely applied uniform magnetic field. The plate temperature and the concentration level near the plate increase linearly with time. The fluid model under consideration has been solved by Laplace transform technique. The model contains equations of motion, diffusion equation and equation of energy. To analyze the solution of the model, reasonable sets of the values of the parameters have been considered. The numerical data obtained is discussed with the help of graphs and tables. The numerical values obtained for skin-friction, Sherwood number and Nusselt number have been tabulated. It is found that the velocity of fluid increases when the values of permeability parameter, acceleration parameter and radiation parameter are increased. But trend is reversed with the chemical reaction parameter. It means that the velocity decreases when the chemical reaction parameter is increased.

Chronic pancreatitis is a fairly common condition with pain being the major symptom and longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ) is performed for symptomatic relief. The aim of the study is to assess the outcome of LPJ for chronic calcific pancreatitis and to evaluate the factors influencing relief of symptoms. A prospective observational study enrolling 28 patients was conducted in the department of surgery of Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital from January 2018 to December 2018. This study involved identification of various risk factors related to chronic pancreatitis, pancreaticojejunostomy, early post-operative outcome and postoperative assessment of pain relief at 1 and 6 months from surgery. Pain was assessed using Visual analogue scale (VAS). In chronic pancreatitis, there is a significant relief of pain in post-LPJ; the degree of relief was less in the alcoholics than non-alcoholics (p=0.09) and in smokers. There was also reduction in analgesic requirement and frequency of acute attacks of pain. In chronic pancreatitis, there is a significant relief of pain in post-LPJ, although the degree of relief is less in the alcoholics and smokers.

Authors: Rashid Harun Ur , Sharif AQM Omar , Shipu Zinat Rehana , Ghosh Debashish , Akhter Sofia , Priyadarshini Faizah , Sharmee Tania Hussain
Published: February 2020

Background: Precise biometry is one of the major key factors for obtaining desired refractive outcome after cataract surgery. Visual outcome strongly depends on accuracy of ocular parameters especially axial length (AL) and anterior chamber depth (ACD). It is very important to evaluate different biometry methods to have accurate measurements for IOL power calculation.

Objective: The aim of the study is to compare and analyze the difference between the measurement of axial length (AL) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) using ultrasound applanation, immersion and optical biometry.

Methodology: A prospective study conducted on 168 patients enrolled for cataract surgery from January 2018 to December 2018 in Dhaka Eye Care Hospital, Dhaka. 280 eyes have been tested by a single observer. Axial length (AL) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) was measured consecutively by optical, applanation and immersion biometry. The results have been statistically evaluated to establish efficacy and correlation among the three methods of biometry.

Results: Statistical analysis showed the mean of axial length (AL) obtained from optical biometry is 23.36 ± 1.99 mm, which is 0.10mm (p=0.00) less by applanation biometry and 0.04 mm (p=0.00) less by immersion biometry. For anterior chamber depth (ACD), the mean value from optical biometry is 3.13 ± 0.47mm. This value is highest in compare to both applanation (0.002 mm less with p = 0.824) and immersion (0.04 mm less with p = 0.00) biometry. Further analysis reveals strong correlation of optical biometry with applanation biometry (r = 0.994 for AL and 0.945 for ACD) and immersion biometry (r = 0.995 for AL and 0.947 for ACD).

Conclusion: The study reveals that among optical, applanation and immersion method the optical biometry method appeared to be the most precise way of measuring axial length (AL) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) of eye. The study also shows an excellent agreement and strong positive correlation of optical biometry with applanation and immersion biometry.

A total of 32 patients were enrolled. Males 24(75%) Predominated over the females 8(25%) with male female ratio 3:1. The patients were between 25 and 65 years with the mean age 45 years and majority (75%) belonged to age above 40 years. Common sites of involvement were ileum 14 (40.5%), Stomach 12 (32.5%) followed by duodenum 4 (15.25%) and jejunum 2(11.75%) in descending order. All patients attended after surgery except two who was inoperable. Patients with gross residual disease were planned for oral Imatinib mesylate (400-600mg / day) as adjuvant therapy. The two inoperable cases and those with gross residual disease at primary or metastatic site were planned for palliative treatment. Imatinib mesylate 400mg/day was planned for few cases. 3 cases with gross post operative residue were treated by 50Gys radiotherapy by conventional fractions from cobalt machine. Among 20 cases who were planned for adjuvant therapy 4 completed their course of targeted therapy after four years and are on 2-3 monthly follow up are in disease free state – clinically and by investigation . Among the remaining-16 cases, two patients faced progression of the disease and died and two patients presented with liver metastasis and rest are on oral Imatinib therapy in escalating dose, now gradually improving. Among the 12 cases, who were planned for palliative therapy, 4 post operative cases with gross residual mass, died due to disease progression. 2 post operative cases with gross residual disease, who received radiotherapy, did not come for subsequent follow up. Other 6 cases are yet on Imatinib and the tumor masses are regressing gradually.

Ureteroscopy and Intracorporeal Lithotripsy for Ureteric Stones: Stenting or not – A Prospective Randomized Study
Authors: Robbani ABM Golam , Biswas PK , Alam SM Rakibul , Jalal KM Abu , Momen MA
Published: February 2020

With the advancement of endourology, ureteric stones are mostly managed by intracorporeal lithotripsy via ureteroscopes, or by extracorporeal lithotripsy. Placement of ureteric stent is almost a routine after ureteric stone lithotripsy. Though stenting is necessary to prevent some post-operative complications, especially in difficult and complicated lithotripsy, it is associated with some morbidity as well. This study was carried out to compare the complications of the patients with or without stenting after uncomplicated ureteroscopic removal of ureteric stones. 50 patients with ureteric stone, amenable to ureteroscopic management, were prospectively randomized into a stented (25) and an unstented (25) group. 9.5 or 8.5Fr ureteroscope was used for the procedures. Pneumatic lithotripter was used for stone fragmentation and stone / fragments were removed by grasper or by dormia basket. Symptom questionnaires were completed by asking the patients after the procedures regarding the complication of flank pain, urinary symptoms and haematuria. In this study, there was no statistically significant difference in age, stone size, or hospital stay between the groups (p>0.05). Haematuria was more in stented than that of unstented group (p=0.001). Flank pain and dysuria occur in both the groups without any significant difference. Frequency of micturation and lower abdominal pain developed more commonly in stented than that of unstented group. Operative duration is more in stented than that of unstented group but not significant statistically. So, in our opinion, routine use of ureteric stent after uncomplicated ureteroscopic removal of ureteric stone is not necessary.

Published: February 2020

The history of headache can be traced almost to the beginning of the history of humankind. Among the many causes of it, migraine headache is a debilitating disorder affecting millions of people in the United States and worldwide. The diagnosis of migraine can significantly affect quality of life, health care costs and daily productivity. Hundreds of trials and many guidelines have documented various approaches to migraine management, whether via acute treatment or chronic migraine prophylaxis. Acute or abortive migraine management encompasses specific and nonspecific migraine therapeutics including non-opioid and opioid analgesics, triptans and ergotamines. Prophylactic migraine management data span the pharmacological spectrum from antiepileptic and antihypertensive agents to botulinum toxin type A. Special considerations for migraine management also must be applied in various populations including children, pregnant women and the elderly. Although hundreds of clinical trials are available regarding migraine treatment modalities, this review serves as an introduction to current accepted therapeutics for migraine treatment and an overview of pharmacological prophylaxis in the modern management of migraine.

Background: Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by very high level of cholesterol in the blood. Too much cholesterol increases risk of developing heart disease called coronary artery disease. This condition occurs when excess cholesterol in the bloodstream is deposited in the walls of blood vessels, particularly in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. A phenolic compound of the cinnamon extract lowers serum lipid level by inhibiting HMG COA reductase & by activation of nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α). We are trying to evaluate the lipid lowering effect of cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassiae) in comparison with rosuvastatin in hypercholesterolaemic rats.

Aim: To find out the lipid lowering effect of aqueous extract of cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassiae) and compare it with a established lipid lowering drug (rosuvastatin) on hypercholesterolaemic rats.

Method: This was a experimental study conducted in the department of Pharmacology, Dhaka medical college & Hospital from July 2015 to June 2016. Sample size was 30.The study was designed as 2 parts: Experiment-1 & Experiment -2.

Result: Cinnamon produces no statistically significant effect on serum lipid level of healthy rats (P- value >0.05; which is not significant). Cinnamon significantly reduced serum lipid level of high cholesterol diet induced hypercholesterolaemic rats. But, there is statistically significant difference between cinnamon and rosuvastatin lipid lowering effect in high cholesterol diet induced hypercholesterolaemic rats (p value <0.05; which is significant).

Conclusion: The study was conducted to find out lipid lowering effect of cinnamon on experimentally induced hypercholesterolaemic rats. The present study found that cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassaiae) significantly lowers serum lipid level in experimentally induced hypercholesterolaemic rats. So cinnamon can be used as alternative lipid lowering agent for its easy availability, cost effectiveness and as well as lack of significant side effects.

Published: February 2020

Nephrotoxicity, which is caused by mostly due to medication, is one of most important global health problem. Drugs are a common source of acute kidney injury. Drugs shown to cause nephrotoxicity exert their toxic effects by one or more common pathogenic mechanisms. . Most drugs found to cause nephrotoxicity exert toxic effects by one or more common pathogenic mechanisms. These include altered intraglomerular hemodynamics, tubular cell toxicity, inflammation, crystal nephropathy, rhabdomyolysis, and thrombotic microangiopathy. Drug-induced nephrotoxicity tends to be more common among certain patients and in specific clinical situations. Cisplatin, one of the many drugs, is responsible for severe nephrotoxicity. General preventive measures to avoid nephrotoxicity include using alternative non-nephrotoxic drugs; correcting risk factors; assessing baseline renal function before initiation of therapy, followed by adjusting the dosage; monitoring renal function and vital signs during therapy; and avoiding nephrotoxic drug combinations, using of several nephroprotective agents including medicinal plant extracts. Promising results showed that the use of some medicinal plant extracts (Dioscoreaalata and Moriengaolifera) gave rise to moderate restoration of normal physiology of kidney and liver of mice.

Published: February 2020

The article examines the rapid spread of precarious employment, its mains forms, characterizes the composition and  scale of this employment both in developed countries  of the West  and in Ukraine. The term precarious  employment comes from the “opposite principle” and does not give a positive characteristic. More precisely this employment expresses the English term “precarious employment”. Related concepts “precarization”, “precarii” and  “precariat” are disclosed. Precarious employment  is  a controversial phenomen, there its  positive  and negative sides  and consequences are consedеred. The aim of our work is to clarify the causes of positives and negatives of precarious employment in Ukraine in order to stregten its positive aspects and weaken the negative aspects and consequences. We substantiated, that  the main reason for the negatives of precarious employment in Ukraine is the decline in innovative development in the national economy:  by 2015 year the share of innovative products  sold  the decreased and amounted to only 1,2%,  according State Statistics Service. In  its turn,  the  most important reason for the essentially lack of innovation in the  country, in our opinion, is the high proportion of the shadow  economy and cheap labour.  Here are the conclusions. In order  for precarious employment to provide more positive consequences, it is necessary to introduce innovative development into the economy more widely. And for  this it is necessary to reduce  significantly the shadow economy and increase wages based on the growth of labour productivity. Solving these problems will require huge investments, both internal and  external. In order to attract them,  it is necessary to create a favorable investment climate in the country, to develop and implement a program for the application of wide benefits, including venture  capital companies.
