Authors: Sharaf Mahmoud , Henari Deyari , Negarat Veena
Published: April 2022

Renal Angiomyolipoma (AML), moreover known as a renal hamartoma, is a solid tumor with no malignant characteristics. The inheritance pattern of renal AML is autosomal dominant. If the lesion grows to a large size, a series of clinical manifestations and important complications might also occur. This research paper presents a case of huge renal AML in a 47-year-old lady, who visited the Emergency Department of Bahrain Defence Forces Hospital with right-sided abdominal pain of sudden onset. The patient underwent a total right nephrectomy. The resected mass was sized 10.5 x 13 x 14 cm. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the lesion as a huge renal AML. Due to the huge size of the tumor, it is crucial to record similar cases, along with their diagnosis and treatment. Keywords: Abdominal pain, Angiomyolipoma, Hamartoma, Kidney Neoplasms, Nephrectomy

Authors: Shinde Jyoti Sanjay , Awladthani Moosa , Shinde Sanjay Laxman
Published: April 2022

Objectives: To study the role of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients with mild to moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Material and methods: Patients with positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 who required intensive care unit (ICU) admission due to COVID-19 related pneumonia with mild to moderate ARDS were included in the study. ARDS was treated with NIV, or mechanical ventilation (MV) if NIV failed. NIV was considered for patients admitted to the ICU with mild to moderate ARDS. Primary outcomes were NIV success and failure, defined by intubation and mechanical ventilation, and mortality. Secondary outcomes were determined by the duration of NIV and the number of days stayed in ICU. Results: NIV was successful in 37 patients (50%), whereas 37 patients required endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation (50%). In the study, 15 (40.5%) of the 37 failed NIV patients who required intubation were successfully extubated and discharged from the ICU, whereas 22 (59.5%) died. Disease progression to severe ARDS, infection, and agitation were the leading causes of NIV failure, accounting for 60% of the cases related to severe ARDS. The number of comorbidities and complications caused by the illness itself had a high association with the death rate. Conclusion: This study revealed that noninvasive ventilation can be used as an alternative to mechanical ventilation as respiratory support for mild to moderate ARDS in COVID-19 patients. However, future multi-centric studies with a larger sample are required for more reliable evaluation. Keywords: Noninvasive Ventilation, Respiratory Distress Syndrome, COVID-19, Aerosols, Pneumonia, Intensive Care Units.

Published: April 2022

The pandemic of Coronavirus disease- 2019 (COVID-19) introduced great challenges to the higher education sector and at the same time opened the door for future opportunities. This review aims to present the experience of Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland-Medical University of Bahrain in managing teaching and learning during COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the pandemic, the university implemented several initiatives in ensuring that final year students graduate on time and quality of assessment in a fully digitised environment. The guiding principle for the university as the examination were redesigned, was to ensure that they remained valid to ensure students could demonstrate achievements of the core learning outcomes and be safely assessed as competent graduates. In achieving these goals, the university has well-developed formal and informal mechanisms to ensure the student voice is heard and listened to, and it was of paramount importance to ensure that this was continued and enhanced during these times. While university was successful in managing this unprecedented situation, more work must be done on analysing the author’s experience, and that of others, to implement the needed changes to ensure student access to learning, without compromising their safety or that of the staff. The university sees the current impetus to provide education through technology enhanced learning as an opportunity to expand and diversify learning opportunities and resources for students. In universities such as ours, which has only healthy subjects, practice become essential components of the programme, making a blended model of face-to-face and online delivery the ideal fit.

Clinical Characteristics and Management of Patients with Cystic Echinococcosis in Salmaniya Medical Complex – A Retrospective Descriptive Study
Authors: Qassab Narjis Jalal Al , Alawainati Mahmood , Al-Khawaja Safa
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Cystic Echinococcosis, commonly known as hydatid cyst disease, is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus and commonly affects hepatic and pulmonary tissues. Although it is prevalent in some countries in the middle east, no epidemiological studies have been conducted to determine the epidemiology of cystic echinococcosis in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study of all cystic echinococcosis cases diagnosed in Salmaniya medical complex between 2015 and 2020. Descriptive analysis of clinical, radiological, and histological data using frequencies and percentages was conducted. Results: A total of 11 patients were identified with cystic echinococcosis. Most of them (n=9; 81.82%) reported a travel history to endemic areas and had liver involvement. While most laboratory data were within normal ranges, radiological investigations of hepatic lesions revealed characteristic features of hydatid cysts, including well-defined margins (n=9, 100%), hypoechoic liver cysts (n=9, 100%) and floating lily sign (n=5, 55.56%). All pulmonary (n=6, 100%) and most hepatic cysts (n=7, 77.78%) required surgical interventions. Reoperation rates were 33.33% (n=3) and 16.67% (n=1) for hepatic and pulmonary cysts, respectively. Conclusion: Hydatid cyst is a rare disease in Bahrain and is seen mainly in patients who travel to endemic areas. Thus, extracting a detailed travel history is essential for the diagnosis of this disease. Clinical presentations are variable due to different tissues involved, natural history of the disease, and patients’ characteristics. Although prolonged medical treatment and minimally invasive procedures are of value, surgical interventions are required in most cases.

Published: April 2022

In the previous study, Penicillium sp. ID10-T065 has been mutated using ultraviolet (UV), ethyl methyl sulfonate (EMS) and the combination of UV-EMS to increase Beta-glucosidase (bgl) activity. There were three mutants selected, UV13 (UV mutant), EM31 (EMS mutant), and UM23 (UV-EMS mutant). This study examined the mutations in the bgl gene encoding (bgl1) as well as sequence differences between mutants and wild-type of Penicillium sp. ID10-T065. The gene analysis was performed by PCR amplification and sequencing of the bgl1 gene. The results of bgl1 gene sequences (600 bp) from mutants were aligned with the wild-type, it was discovered that there were base alterations from position 2025 to 2050. Mutant UV13 showed the highest base alterations (7 bases) which occurred at position 2027 (T→C); 2036 (T→G); 2040 (T→G); 2047 (G→C); and 2048-2050 (TTG→GGA). Mutant EM31 showed alterations in five bases at positions 2034 (G→A), 2036 (T→G), 2037 (G→C), 2044 (G→C), and 2047 (G→T). Mutant UM23 showed two base alterations at position 2025 (T→A) and 2037 (G→C). UV irradiation and EMS mutation resulted in transition and transversion DNA, whereas the combination of UV-EMS mutation resulted in transversion mutations. Base alterations in UV13 and EM31 mutants, causing missense and silent mutation, while in UM23 mutant only silent mutations occur. The bgl1 gene analysis showed that mutation using UV light was more effective than using EMS or a combination of UV-EMS in Penicillium sp. ID10-T065.

Published: April 2022

Infection and deaths cases by SARS-CoV-2 still increase and have not decreased significantly. Main protease (Mpro) is playing an important role in the replication of SARS-CoV-2 life cycle and causes of rapid transmission. Natural compounds are potential to be antiviral candidates with high bioavailability and low cytotoxicity. Orchids of Dendrobium genus have high diversity in Indonesia. Dendrobium has been used as traditional Chinese medicine and contains a group of secondary metabolites with antiviral activity. This study aimed to determine the potential of secondary metabolites of Dendrobium orchids as antiviral candidates against Mpro SARS-CoV-2 with in silico molecular docking. Secondary metabolites obtained from the KNApSAck and PubChem act as ligands. N3 inhibitors as native ligands were obtained from the RCSB. Mpro SARS-CoV-2 (6LU7) as a target macromolecule. Molecular docking was carried out using the online Covid-19 Docking Server using AutoDock Vina device. The most negative binding affinity value for each ligand compared to the native ligand binding affinity. Visualization with Discovery Studio software has been used to observe the protein amino acid residues contact for each ligand. The binding affinity of the native ligand inhibitor N3 is -7.5 kcal/mol. Based on the results of Mpro docking, three phytochemicals from Dendrobium spp., i.e., dendrocandin B, denthyrsinone, and denthyrsinol compounds have binding affinities of -7.7 kcal/mol, -7.9 kcal/mol, and -8.1 kcal/mol, respectively. It can be concluded that in Dendrobium orchid, denthyrsinol has the highest chance of binding so it has the potential to inhibit the Mpro SARS-CoV-2 activity.

Authors: Fattah Mohammad
Published: April 2022

The expertise of al-Tirmidhi in collecting the Prophetic tradition has been proven when he used the term wa fi al-bab (in this topic there is hadith) according to narrators among the companions. However, these indicative hadiths were failed to receive adequate attention of the scholars and primarily about its functions and benefits to strengthening any hadiths which explicitly mentioned in the chapter. Therefore this study aims to reveal the existence of indicative hadiths by al-Tirmidhi in various books of hadith to determine its function. The study found in the chapter on marriage, there are thirty-one (31) sub chapters which contain (108) indicative hadiths, and the values are; nineteen (19) sub chapters had sahih (sound), seven (7) had hasan (good), and five (5) sub chapters in da‘if status (weak). The study also found in the chapter on sell and buy, there are fivety-three (53) sub chapters which contain (180) indicative hadiths, and the values are; thirty-neen (39) sub chapters had sahih (sound), eleven (11) had hasan (good), and three (3) sub chapters in da‘if status (weak). The study also found the existence of indicative hadiths in Sunan al-Tirmidhi serve as mutabi‘at (parralelism), and shawahid (witnesses). Hence, the implications of this study shows that those indicative hadiths in the book of Sunan al-Tirmidhi are deemed utilizable as most of them are having the status of acceptable (maqbul). This study contribute by al-Tirmdzi significantly in the future exploration of the numerous indicative hadiths found in other chapters as they are deemed as important evidence in the execution of the Islamic law who serves as mutaba'at.

Yogurt has been one of the leading consumption products of fermented milk products for centuries and has many positive effects in terms of human health. However, yogurt consumption is sometimes a problem for individuals with lactose intolerance. It is known that activated carbon ensures the removal of heavy metals from the body by adsorbing, and slows down the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In this study, the effects of activated carbon on the formation of yogurt were investigated. In this study, before investigating the effects of activated carbon on milk fermentation, its physical properties were determined by electron microscopy. Lactose and calcium interactions were determined in silico studies of activated carbon on yogurt. Yogurt with added activated carbon was created and protein, fat, lactic acid, pH, calcium, sensory analyzes, and microbiological parameters were determined in groups on different days. In the study, it was determined that the use of activated carbon during milk fermentation did not impair the physical, chemical, sensory and microbiological structural properties of yogurt.

Relative gut length, Zihler’s index, and Gastro-somatic index of Acanthopagrus arabicus were studied to investigate its feeding intensity and feeding habit, by collecting 240 samples of fishes from two fishing harbors of Pakistan from September 2017 to August 2018. According to the results, fish mean total length ranged from 16.26 ± 2.83 cm (in June) to 30.89 ± 5.16 cm (in September), and mean total weight ranged from 77.70 ± 42.25 g (in June) to 486.80 ± 237.28 g (in November). The total length and gut length of A. arabicus have a strong statistical relationship (P < 0.05). In A. arabicus, the overall relative gut length (RGL) values were ranged from 0.69 to 2.63 with a mean value of 1.57 ± 0.31. The RGL lowest (1.35) and highest (1.70) value was analyzed in the size groups ranging 12.0 - 16.0 cm TL and 24.1 - 28.0 cm TL respectively. However this value is not much greater than 1, A. arabicus could be described as an omnivorous feeding habit in coastal waters of Pakistan. The temporal changes in the feeding intensity of A. arabicus were found as the Gastro-somatic index (Ga-SI) presented a significant difference during the twelve months (ANOVA, P < 0.05). The Gastro-somatic index lowest value was found in January (1.55 ± 0.59) and highest in August (5.66 ± 3.26). This type of study is beneficial for aquaculture as well as assessing the ecological role of A. arabicus along with its position in the food chain of Pakistani coastal waters.

Espacialidad e itinerarios en la cuentística de Mario Levrero
Authors: Islas Flores Mario César
Published: April 2022

Resumen: En una significativa cantidad de cuentos de Mario Levrero los desplazamientos son frecuentes y cruciales. Se trata de itinerarios emprendidos de forma voluntaria o, por el contrario, forzados por alguna circunstancia que los torna imperativos, incluso, al grado que de su concreción depende la pervivencia personal o colectiva. Pero, sea que el trayecto tenga un carácter iniciático o una finalidad tan precisa, como supervisar la disposición del mobiliario de la propia vivienda o la obtención de un refugio, los pueblos o ciudades que fungen como punto de partida o arribo desempeñan un rol protagónico. Es decir, no son meras escenografías en las que están enmarcados los acontecimientos, sino que en buena medida tornan inteligibles a estos. El objetivo del presente ensayo es explicitar la importancia cardinal jugada por la espacialidad en la cuentística levreriana a la par que se profundiza en los problemas derivados de su reciente compilación, pero también, trazar ese desplazamiento nada infrecuente entre la cuentística y la ensayística autobiográfica del escritor uruguayo.

Authors: Olvera Lluvia
Published: April 2022

En este artículo se analiza la obra La vida familiar del mexicano (1955) de María Elvira Bermúdez (1916-1988) a través de la categoría de ensayo de identidad. En esta obra se configuran los rasgos que conforman la identidad del mexicano y cómo esta se constituye en el inconsciente colectivo de la sociedad y de los sujetos que a ella pertenecen: mujer y hombre. Ante las diversas situaciones que la autora analiza y que identifica como problemas propone una solución que contribuiría a la formación de una sociedad más justa y equitativa que acabe con los estereotipos de género impuestos a la sociedad mexicana por la ideología patriarcal gestada durante años. La vida familiar del mexicano es una obra de un enorme valor literario que contribuye a la actualización no sólo del ensayo en México sino también brinda nuevos enfoques respecto a la identidad de las y los mexicanos.

Electrical Evaluation of Logic Network Generation Methods for On-the-Fly Supergate Design
Authors: Kessler Henrique , Muñoz Marcello , Finkenauer Plínio , Da Rosa Jr. Leomar , Camargo Vinícius
Published: April 2022

Recent developments in electronic design automation tools vastly reduce the design cost of supergates, enabling an alternative approach to logic synthesis. Despite many design strategies targeting the transistors network in supergates, their comparisons are often limited to metrics such as the number of transistors used or circuit total stack, lacking an in-depth electrical evaluation. This work presents an electrical comparison of three different design techniques. The study evaluates the 3,982 logic functions of the 4 input P-class, and it shows that topologies that optimize both pull-up and pull-down networks individually presented better overall electrical characteristics. The results also suggest that reducing the logic gate stack or the number of transistors does not necessarily lead to better performance. Additionally, the results show that a single network generation method can yield in a comparatively good design or in a supergate that could achieve 50% smaller propagation delay and power dissipation by another approach, pointing to a strong dependency between the effectiveness of the method and the logic function being implemented.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of racecadotril, smectite and placebo among children having acute diarrhea. Study Design: Randomized Controlled trial. Setting: Department of Pediatrics, Allama Iqbal Memorial Teaching Hospital, Sialkot. Period: January 2021 to June 2021. Material & Methods: A total of 120 children (40 in each group) of both gender, aged above 6 months to 5 years with acute diarrhea were enrolled. All children were prescribed oral rehydration therapy (ORT). As co-adjuvant treatment, children in Group-A (n=40) were prescribed smectite, racecadotril in Group-B (n=40) while placebo was given in Group-C (n=40). Among all children, treatment duration was 7 days and all children were asked to follow up on 3rd, 5th and 7th day for the evaluation of stool frequency, stool consistency and dehydration status. Results: In a total of 120 children, 62 (51.7%) were male. Overall, mean age was noted to be 17.9+9.4 months. Stool frequency significantly reduced in Group-A and Group-B in comparison to Group-C at day-3 (p<0.001), day-5 (p<0.001) and day-7 (p=0.018). During the follow ups, need for IV rehydration was 1 (2.5%) in Group-A, 1 (2.5%) in Group-B and 6 (15.0%) in Group-C (p=0.035). Significant improvement was observed in stool grading of children in Group-A and Group-B when compared to Group-C at day-3 (p<0.001), day-5 (p<0.001) and day-7 (p=0.043). No side effects were recorded in any of the patients. Conclusion: Along with oral rehydration therapy, non-specific anti-diarrheal agents like smectite and racecadotril were found to have good efficacy and safety in the management of acute diarrhea in children.

It is determined that high indicators of psychological and emotional stress, anxiety, tension, inactivity, characteristic deterioration of individual mental processes and performance in this group, especially during the Covid- 19 pandemic. A theoretical study allowed us to establish that the mental health indicators of female students during their studies at universities are reduced, compared to male students, which is manifested in high indicators of anxiety, neuroticism, stress, lower indicators of quality of life satisfaction, and higher levels of risk of developing depression. In contrast to female students, male students are more likely to have higher levels of physical and mental health, vital activity, and higher rates of individual mental functions. It is established that situational (pandemic conditions, students’ adaptation to distance learning, etc.) and personal factors largely determine the stability of mental health and well-being, as well as define the level of experiences, behavior, and the course of mental processes, and physiological reactions, rather than the gender of students.
