Authors: Sengupta Usri , Singh Amool Ranjan
Published: June 2021

Introduction:

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and third-wave CBT approaches have been shown to ameliorate symptoms of schizophrenia. However, this study uses the functional analytic psychotherapy which focuses on the environmental causes of behavior which includes the client's present environment as well as his history of past interactions with it, to bring about a change in the client and reduce the symptoms. This therapy has never been used earlier with patients having schizophrenia in India; therefore, it was taken up for this study.

Methodology:

A pre–post design with control group was used in the present study. Ten patients were taken. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale for measuring symptoms of schizophrenia, Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale for assessing quality of life, Coping Response Inventory-Adult form for assessing coping skills, Apathy Evaluation Scale-Clinician Version for assessing apathy, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale for assessing perceived interpersonal relationship were used for assessment pre- and postintervention. Fifteen sessions were done with each patient within a period of 10 months at the rate of one session per week. Chi-square test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Mann–Whitney U-test were used for the analysis of data.

Results:

Significant improvements were found in positive symptoms, general psychopathology, approach coping mechanisms, psychosocial and motivation domains in quality of life, and perceived cohesion in family among the patients postintervention.

Conclusion:

Functional analytic psychotherapy is an effective method for treating patients having schizophrenia with the application of its specifically modified rules for use with patients having psychosis.

Background:

Vitiligo is a common form of localized depigmentation of skin which draws unusual attention to the patient especially when it is in visible areas of the body. The appearance of visible skin lesions and its chronic progression may cause a significant burden on patients' health-related quality of life and psychiatric morbidity may arise as a complication.

Aims:

An endeavor has been made to find out how the disease influences the quality of life of affected persons.

Methodology:

This was a hospital based cross sectional study. Clinically diagnosed eighty vitiligo patients were selected from dermatology outpatient department with purposive sampling method and compared them with those of healthy control group. In selected cases Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire was used for the assessment of quality of life. Also International classification of mental and behavioral disorders research criteria along with 17-item Hamilton Rating scale of Depression were applied to diagnose the presence of depression. Data were collected and “Chi Square Test” or “Fisher Exact t Test” was used. All analysis were done using SPSS version 20.0.

Results:

In this study 92.5% of the patients had elevated DLQI scores. We found higher DLQI mean score in vitiligo patients (9.68+5.24) compared to (1.36+ 1.37) of control and depression was significantly associated with the impairment of quality of life.

Conclusion:

Vitiligo patients have significant impairment in their quality of life and more in those who develops depression.

Authors: Seol J.H. , Kim J.M. , Kim S.S. , Na B.R. , Jung H. , Cho J.H. , Kim J.K.
Published: June 2021

Background: A number of different nasal packing materials are available for prevention of nasal bleeding after endoscopic sinus surgery. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coated nasal packing is an expandable packing for use in rhinological surgery. This innovative surf- ace treatment helps to reduce the possibility of adherence to tissue and of blood clotting within the sponge. The present study investigated the effects of PVA coated packing and non-absorbable packing with respect to pain, healing site and postoperative bleeding following endoscopic sinus surgery. Methodology: Patients between 18-80 years of age undergoing sinus surgery were enrolled. Each patient`s ethmoid cavities were randomised to receive PVA coated packing material or the standard non-absorbable sinus packs. The remaining nasal packing material was removed on the 2nd day in the clinic. We determined visual analog scale score, bleeding time and wound healing status. A single rhinologist graded postoperative endoscopic appearance. Length of follow-up was 3 months. Results: Thirty three patients were recruited. There was a significant difference in the bleeding time between the two groups, but pain and wound healing were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: PVA-coated nasal packing presents comparable characteristics with traditional nasal packing.
A Randomized Controlled Trial comparing the efficacy of low-dose amitriptyline, amitriptyline with pindolol and surrogate placebo in the treatment of chronic tension-type facial pain
Authors: Agius A.M. , Jones N.S. , Muscat R.
Published: June 2021

Background: Patients often present to otolaryngologists with chronic facial pain, presumed to be of sinus origin despite normal nasal endoscopy and sinus CT. This pain has increasingly been recognized as being of neurological origin with one of the commonest underlying causes being mid-facial segmental tension-type pain (MFP) which is a version of tension-type headache affecting the midface. Primary outcome measures: 1. To determine whether low-dose amitriptyline reduces pain scores compared to surrogate placebo in patients with chronic MFP. 2. To determine whether the addition of pindolol, a beta blocker with serotonin receptor blocking properties hastens onset of action or improves efficacy of amitriptyline. Secondary outcome measure: to determine whether amitriptyline or amitriptyline with pindolol significantly reduces analgesic consumption. Methodology: Sixty two patients were randomized to three treatment groups (a) amitriptyline 10mg daily (b) amitriptyline 10mg daily with pindolol 5mg twice daily and (c) loratadine 10mg daily. Daily pain scores using a facial pain diary were recorded over eight weeks. Results: At 8 weeks, pain frequency and intensity were significantly reduced in patients treated with amitriptyline and in those receiving amitriptyline with pindolol compared to surrogate placebo. Patients on the combination therapy showed significantly improved clinical outcome and significantly reduced analgesic intake compared to those on amitriptyline alone. Conclusion: Low dose amitriptyline is effective in the management of MFP and is enhanced by the addition of pindolol.

Published: June 2021

Background: To describe our experience of the management of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea in a large case series focusing on surgical approach, peri-operative management and outcomes; to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic CSF leak repairs. Methodology: Retrospective chart review was performed for all patients with spontaneous CSF rhinorrhoea managed from 2003 to 2011 at a tertiary referral centre. Data regarding demographics, presentation, site of leak, peri-operative management, surgical approach, body mass index (BMI), follow up and success rates was collated. Results: Thirty-six patients were identified: 9 male and 27 female with a mean age of 50.4 years. Eight patients had previous failed repairs in other units. Success rate after first surgery was 89 % and after second surgery was 100 %. Four patients had recurrences, 3 underwent successful revisions and the fourth had complete cessation of the leak after gastric bypass surgery and weight reduction. All failures were before 2004 prior to instigation of an anatomic three-layered repair with no further failures in the following 7 years. Mean follow up was 21.5 months. Mean body mass index was 34.0 kg/m2. Fifty percent of spontaneous leaks were from the cribriform plate, 22 % sphenoid, 14 % ethmoid and 14 % frontal sinus. Conclusion: Endoscopic CSF fistula closure has become the gold standard of care. In order to optimise the outcome, we recommend a multidisciplinary approach to manage the associated idiopathic intracranial hypertension and an anatomic three-layered closure technique for recalcitrant cases.

Theological Marian Themes of the Centro Aletti Mosaics in the Sanctuary of Saint Paul II in Krakow

The post-conciliar liturgical indications, of which the free-standing altar with the priest celebrating the liturgy „facing the faithful” became a visible sign, freed the presbytery walls of newly built churches from large altar extensions. The situation became a kind of call for the creators of sacred art, providing an opportunity to return to the noble mosaic art, whose monumental works of the first millennium have survived to this day. It is enough to mention the temples of Ravenna, Palermo or Rome itself. Their iconographic programs, rich in form and content, are continued in the large-format, contemporary altar mosaics by Father Marko Ivan Rupnik, in which a refined artistic form intertwines with a well-thought-out theological concept, showing the vitality of tradition at the threshold of the third millennium. The aim of this article is to present the basic Marian theological themes present in the largest complex set of mosaics that has been built in Poland in recent years.

Posoborowe wskazania liturgiczne, których widomym znakiem stał się wolnostojący ołtarz z kapłanem sprawującym liturgię „przodem do wiernych”, uwolniły ściany prezbiteriów nowobudowanych świątyń od wielkich nadstaw ołtarzowych. Zaistniała sytuacja stała się swego rodzaju wezwaniem dla twórców sztuki sakralnej, stwarzając możliwość powrotu do szlachetnej sztuki mozaikowej, której monumentalne dzieła pierwszego tysiąclecia przetrwały do dziś. Wystarczy wspomnieć chociażby świątynie Rawenny, Palermo czy samego Rzymu. Ich bogate w formę i treść programy ikonograficzne znajdują swoją kontynuację w wielkoformatowych, współczesnych mozaikach ołtarzowych o. Marko Ivana Rupnika, w których wyrafinowana forma artystyczna splata się z przemyślaną koncepcją teologiczną, ukazując żywotność tradycji u progu trzeciego tysiąclecia. Niniejszy artykuł stawia sobie za cel ukazanie zasadniczych teologicznych wątków maryjnych, obecnych w największym kompleksowym zespole mozaik, jaki w ostatnich latach powstał w Polsce.
Boże Serce w misterium swojego otwarcia na współczesny świat

God’s Heart in the mystery of its opening to the modern world

Is the reverence and cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus still topical in the mission of the Church? The text „God’s Heart in the mystery of its opening to the modern world” is an attempt to answer the question above. Biblical depiction of the word „heart” has basically symbolic and allegoric meaning. Repeatedly this word appears in connection with the word „love” both in regard to God and human. Incarnated God, the Word of the Father, became truly human with the loving heart and he redeemed the world. The Heart of Jesus pierced with the soldier’s spear on the cross is still open to the present day with his love. A special place in this regard is given to spreading the idea of the social kingdom of the Heart of Jesus and the civilization of love.

Abstrakt

Czy nabożeństwo i kult Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa są wciąż aktualne w misji Kościoła? Próbą odpowiedzi na to pytanie jest tekst Boże Serce w misterium swojego otwarcia na współczesny świat. Biblijne ujęcie słowa „serce” ma zasadniczo znaczenie symboliczne i przenośne. Wielokrotnie występuje w połączeniu ze słowem „miłość” zarówno w odniesieniu do Boga, jak i człowieka. Wcielony Bóg, Słowo Ojca, stał się prawdziwym człowiekiem o kochającym sercu i odkupił świat. Serce Jezusa przebite włócznią żołnierza na krzyżu jest wciąż otwarte na współczesność przez swoją miłość. Szczególne miejsce pod tym względem zajmuje szerzenie idei społecznego królestwa Serca Jezusa oraz cywilizacji miłości.

Evaluarea progresului studenților în demersul bazat pe competențe
Authors: Bulat-Guzun Ana
Published: June 2021

The assessment is an action of knowledge about some phenomena, results of an activity, status and functionality of a system. It is realized with a distinct purpose, based on some criteria suitable to fixed objectives, in order to adopt a decision which will improve this entity. Skills paradigm is marked by an epistemological dissolution: the passing from a positivist epistemology of knowledge to a epistemology of complexity. So, assessment in Skills paradigm becomes complex, because the skill involves a series of operations: mobilization of adequate resources, verifying the relevance of these resources, their efficient transmission, contextual approach, checking the correctness of the result and so on. In this new pedagogical context specific rules will lead the design of the evaluation: focus on skills development and not strict rendering of knowledge; integration of different notions and skills already developed; fixation on complex situations integrated into families of situations. The use of criteria in skills evaluation through complex situations has multiple advantages: correct marks, capitalizing on the positive points of students, identifying students in situations of academic failure.

Authors: C Okafor M. , Etim Raphael S , Efanga Udeme Okon
Published: June 2021

One of the primary goals of this study was to explore how a budget review approach may affect Nigeria's economic development. The reasoning was that the Nigerian economy was being challenged by a variety of imbalances in budget creation and implementation. The study strategy was based on events that occurred after the study was completed, and the data used in the study came from the Central Bank Statistical Bulletin and the Federal Ministry of Finance. A model was constructed based on both empirical and theoretical investigations in order to achieve this broad goal. The HDI, which was utilized as a measure of development, was the dependent variable in the model. The government's capital budget, recurrent budget, and the speed of annual budget implementation were the other independent variables in the model. They examined data using the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model, diagnostic tests such as the test of normality, auto correlation test, and heteroskedasticity test, which proved the validity and reliability of the model they chose; inferential results reveal that the use of budget evaluation had a positive and significant impact on the Nigerian economy. According to the study's suggestions, Nigeria's government should try to increase capital and recurrent expenditures in its annual budget, both of which have a significant impact on economic development. Finally, the government should work to build budget monitoring and review infrastructure that will aid in the effective implementation of large budget expenditures while also ensuring compliance with legal procedures.

YENİ SÖMÜRGECİLİK VE HEGEMONYA BAĞLAMINDA FRANSA’NIN SON DÖNEM SURİYE SİYASETİ
Authors: CİHAN Murat
Published: June 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Fransa’nın son dönemde Suriye’de uyguladığı siyasetin emperyal ve sömürgeci bir anlayışa dayandığı ve aynı siyasi anlayışın tüm Ortadoğu için geçerli olduğu tezinin savunulmasıdır. Fransa’nın Ortadoğu ve Suriye politikası, yeni sömürgecilik anlayışı kapsamında, coğrafya, ekonomi ve din olgusu üzerinden şekillenmektedir. Birinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasında, Ortadoğu bölgesinde değişen haritalar, İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasında yaşanan siyasi gelişmeler ve küreselleşme ile birlikte, toprakların işgal edilmesi suretiyle yapılan klasik sömürgecilik anlayışı terk edilmiştir. Sömürge yapılacak devletleri idare eden yöneticilerin etki altına alınması, yerel halkın sömürüyü olağan karşılaması amacıyla yürütülen sosyo-kültürel faaliyetlerle sömürgeciliğin devam etmesi yeni sömürgecilik tanımını doğurmuştur. Özellikle Ortadoğu’da bulunan ve feodal özellik taşıyan bir takım devletlerle çoğu Afrika yönetimleri emperyal devletlerin kontrolü altına girmiştir. Fransa Birinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan sonra, savaşta kazanan taraf olmasının etkisiyle Suriye, Irak, Lübnan ve Libya gibi devletlerde hegemon güç olmuştur. Hegemonyadan kaynaklı elde ettiği politik, ekonomik ve askeri kazançları günümüzde ve gelecekte korumak istemektedir. Fransa, İngiltere’nin AB’den ayrılması ile birlikte, Almanya’nın siyasi bir liderlik üstlenemeyeceğini değerlendirmekte ve kendini AB’nin temsilcisi olarak öne çıkararak lider devlet olma amacı gütmektedir. Kuzey Afrika’da, Doğu Akdeniz’de, Kafkasya’da, Suriye’de ve diğer Ortadoğu devletlerinde meydana gelen olaylara müdahil olarak, kendi milli stratejisini uygulamaktadır. Bu stratejide Türkiye ile çıkarları çatışmaktadır ve Türkiye’yi bu bağlamda bir tehdit olarak görmektedir. Fransa, Türkiye’nin yeni Osmanlıcılık eğilimi ile Ortadoğu ve Doğu Akdeniz’de genişlemeci bir siyaset izlediğini iddia etmektedir. Avrupa Birliği ve Amerika Birleşik Devletlerinin desteğini alarak Türkiye’yi Ortadoğu’dan uzaklaştırmak, Doğu Akdeniz bölgesinde etkisizleştirmek, Kafkasya’da Azerbaycan ve diğer Türk Cumhuriyetleriyle bağlantısını kesmek istemektedir.

Hoàn cảnh nghiên cứu: Ticagrelor là một thuốc kháng kết tập tiểu cầu qua cơ chế ức chế thuận nghịch thụ thể P2Y12. Ưu điểm của thuốc này là không phải chuyển hóa qua gan thành dạng có tác dụng dược lý như clopidogrel. Nghiên cứu PLATO trên bệnh nhân bị hội chứng động mạch vành cấp cho thấy ticagrelor không những có hiệu quả hơn clopidogrel trong phòng ngừa biến cố tim mạch mà thuốc này cũng không làm tăng các biến cố chảy máu. Do đó chúng tôi tiến hành nghiên cứu này trên đối tượng bệnh nhân bị BĐMCD để kiểm chứng xem tỷ lệ biến cố chảy máu, tỷ lệ bỏ thuốc, ảnh hưởng trên một số chỉ số hóa sinh máu của ticagrelor có thực sự tương đương với clopidogrel hay không? Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu lâm sàng ngẫu nhiên có đối chứng trên 178 bệnh nhân bị BĐMCD: nhóm nghiên cứu dùng ticagrelor 90mg x 2 lần/ngày, nhóm chứng dùng clopidogrel 75mg/ngày. Thời gian theo dõi 18-36 tháng. Tiêu chí nghiên cứu là các biến cố mọi loại chảy máu, xuất huyết não, chảy máu gây tử vong, thời gian dùng thuốc trung bình, tỷ lệ bỏ thuốc và nồng độ một số chỉ số hóa sinh máu. Kết quả: Tỷ lệ mọi loại chảy máu ở nhóm nghiên cứu là 7,8%; ở nhóm chứng là 6,8%. Sự khác biệt là không có ý nghĩa thống kê với p = 0,79. Tỷ lệ chảy máu phải truyền máu ở nhóm nghiên cứu là 1,1%; ở nhóm chứng là 2,3% với p = 0,546. Có 1 bệnh nhân xuất huyết não ở nhóm chứng. Chúng tôi không gặp bệnh nhân nào chảy máu gây tử vong ở 2 nhóm. Tỷ lệ bỏ thuốc ở nhóm nghiên cứu là 12,4%; ở nhóm chứng là 17%, với OR (CI95%) = 1,46 (0,63 – 3,38). Thời gian dùng thuốc trung bình của 2 nhóm khác biệt không có ý nghĩa với p = 0,96. Nồng độ các chỉ số hóa sinh máu: creatinin, GOT, GPT, Bilirubin, glucose và huyết sắc tố ở hai nhóm khi kết thúc điều trị khác biệt không có ý nghĩa với p>0,05.  Kết luận: Tỷ lệ chảy máu, tỷ lệ bỏ thuốc và ảnh hưởng trên một số chỉ số hóa sinh máu của ticagrelor tương đương với clopidogrel  trên bệnh nhân bị bệnh động mạch chi dưới.

Mục tiêu: Nghiên cứu tỉ lệ béo phì và mối liên quan đến đái tháo đường trên đối tượng 3 tháng sau ghép thận. Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: Gồm 508 bệnh nhân có thời gian sau ghép thận ≥ 3 tháng được theo dõi và điều trị sau ghép tại BV Việt Đức, từ 09/2017 đến 04/2018. Tất cả các bệnh nhân đều tự nguyện tham gia nghiên cứu. Bệnh nhân được thăm khám lâm sàng, đo chiều cao cân nặng, được lấy máu vào buổi sáng trước khi ăn và uống thuốc ức chế miễn dịch. Thực hiện nghiệm pháp dung nạp đường (OGTT) khi có chỉ định. Tiến hành chẩn đoán, thừa cân béo phì, tiền đái tháo đường và đái tháo đường sau ghép thận theo tiêu chuẩn. Kết quả: Nhóm thừa cân, béo phì chiếm 30,12% số bệnh nhân nghiên cứu. Tỷ lệ bệnh nhân được chẩn đoán NODAT có thừa cân béo phì là cao hơn có ý nghĩa thống kê so với những bệnh nhân không thừa cân béo phì, p = 0,003. Nguy cơ phát triển NODAT trên những bệnh nhân thừa cân béo phì cao gấp 2,13 (95%: 1,29-3,53) so những bệnh nhân không thừa cân béo phì. Kết luận: Nghiên cứu này cho thấy tỉ lệ và nguy cơ mắc NODAT cao hơn ở những bệnh nhân thừa cân béo phì, vì thế để tránh thất bại sau ghép và các biến chứng quan, có vẻ hợp lý khi nhấn mạnh rằng những người được ghép tạng phải duy trì cân nặng bình thường.

A prevalent problematic issue spreading nowadays among the global community is the increasing demand of electricity, and Demand Side Management programs are suggested to be the best method for reducing the demand of electricity. Nevertheless, implementing such technologies is still an issue because the behavior of customers is different from one region to another, and the applicability of such technologies largely depends on the perceptions and the acceptance level of that specific region.
