SARS-CoV-2 is non-segmented positive sense ssRNA virus, belongs to the Coronaviridae under the Nidovirales and spread largely in human being and other mammals. Person to person, airborne and surface transmission is common, the virus gets entered to host through nose, mouth, eyes, food, water and feces. An infected patient can transmit the virus to 2.2 healthy individuals.  A patient in the US showed gastrointestinal symptoms vomiting, nausea and pass loose stools. Later the patient declared positive for SARS-CoV-2 based on viral detection in stools and respiratory samples. The gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and detection of SARS-CoV-2 in stools of infected and recovered patients indicates potential oral-fecal transmission route, it could be potential risk for the spread of COVID-19. The flatus is gas produced by aerophagia or bacterial fermentation in intestine and expelled out through esophagus or anus. It consists of Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide and Methane, their percentage composition is 99%. Previous study showed that bacteria can transmit through bare-bottom farting. The gastrointestinal manifestation and possible oral-fecal transmission, the flatulence could be the risk of transmission for COVID-19.

Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime”, the connotation of the proverb is to help somebody do something on his or her own; this can be a perfect basis for teaching a language. Autonomy is a concept which transcends beyond learning and is not only limited to educational settings. When people exert independence in their work, new horizons will be opened to them and they will be more susceptible to succeed in their lives. Teachers are not available throughout students’ lives; therefore, students must learn how to learn and how to be independent from their teachers. In today’s world with Corona pandemic in most countries, though many students receive off-line contents from their teachers, if they do not accept responsibility for their own learning, no fruitful upshots will be gained in their studies. Thus, it is mandatory for students to know what to learn and how to learn; in other words, they should practice autonomy in learning.

In a successful education system, there are many non-stop researches conducted to enhance the quality and efficiency of education. The present research tried to make some contribution and move in line with this purpose and to provide a compendium of information about ways to foster learner autonomy in educational settings.

Authors: Ravshankhodja Rasulov
Published: August 2020

The article is devoted to the agent valence of voice forms of state verbs. It should be noted that, the expression of the relationship of movement, the state directed to the subject and object, is one of the main and important functions of the semantics of the verb. Voices totally cover the verbs. The verbs of state in the Uzbek language in their extra-linguistic substratum express certain processes connection with nature and society, flora and fauna, biology, physiology and psychology of human being. State verbs in the sentences are realized in the active, reflexive, compulsive, passive and mutual voices. State verbs with integral seme «duration», «result of movement», «execution», «movement», «skill», «imagery», «biological», «physiological» and «psychic» – are realized in speech mostly in the active voice. The agent of this verbs finds expression in the character of the object. The agent of some state verbs with the integral seme «result of movement», «execution», «imagery», «physiological» and «psychic» do not appear as functions of the object in sentence. Agent's non-objectivity, but only its subjectivity, follows from the transitivity of certain state verbs. The agent of some transitive state verbs with the integral seme «execution» and «psychic», even though they have own object, they are not only the producer (source) of the state, but also the object of the produced state. The possibility of combining state verbs with a direct object, that means, their transitiveness deserves special attention. State verbs with the integral seme «execution», «physiological» and «psychic» are realized in the sentence in a reflexive voice. Agent is an object in all cases. Verbs with the integral seme «duration», «result of movement», «movement», «biological», «physiological» and «psychic» are realized in speech in a compulsory voice. Agent here is not considered an object. State verbs with an integral seme «result of movement», «execution» and «movement» in a passive voice form have an agent valence. Here is shown the relationship object with state, which is the main, the most important, while agent is in secondary pose. The activity of the last one is weakening. This is the essence of the passive voice. State verbs with an integral seme «duration», «execution», «skill», «physiological» and «psychic» are realized in constructions in a mutual voice. The agent is revealed in the nature of the object.

Published: August 2020

Intrathoracic goiter is a relatively rare benign finding, leading often to dyspnea and dysphagia. Imaging methods are of a great importance for the diagnosis. Surgery and total thyroidectomy are the treatment of choice. We present a case of a 72-year-old woman with dysphagia, shortness of breath and fatigue. We observed an increase in both thyroid lobes with retrosternal evolution, descending to the pulmonary artery to the right, and to the aortic arch to the left, with compression of the trachea, brachiocephalic veins and vena cava superior. We performed total thyroidectomy through combined cervical-anterior thoracic right-sided access. Surgical treatment for intrathoracic goiter with or without clinical symptoms is always indicated and should be performed as soon as possible.

Published: August 2020

Background: bilateral adrenal hemorrhage can cause adrenal insufficiency. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is considered a rare etiology of bilateral adrenal hemorrhage with a relatively small number of case reports. APS can be secondary to other autoimmune diseases such as SLE in which cardiac manifestations are common.

Case presentation: a fifty-four-year-old male presents with left flank pain as a result of unilateral adrenal hemorrhage, a few days later, bilateral hemorrhage is documented in the presence of abnormal coagulation state and other laboratory clues. APS diagnosis was established.

Coexisting chest pain accompanied by diffused ST elevation, long QT, slightly high troponin with a high pro-BNP, in addition to echo’s findings such abnormal regional wall abnormality and the absence of pericardial effusion made the case more interesting, differential diagnosis was proposed in accordance.

Conclusion: bilateral hemorrhage in APS considered rare.  Requiring a high index of clinical suspicion. Particularly when it is the initial manifestation of APS as in our case.  Underlying autoimmune diseases should be screened actively, especially when other unexplained manifestations are presented.

One month after the procedure, the complication screening questionnaire was administered face-to-face interview or by telephone. All complications were compared between PSS and non-PPS groups.

Results: Complications screening questionnaire was applied to 99 participants (face to face with 79 participants and by telephone with 20 participants). After the procedure, 17.2% of the participants had uncomfortable bleeding, 2.0% had persistent numbness which continues more than 1 week and 1.0% had wetness and hematoma. Bleeding duration was more than 1 hour in 11.1% of the participants. Complications were not different between PSS and non-PSS groups (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: After the labial MSGB procedure without suturing, uncomfortable bleeding is frequent and the duration of bleeding is long, but complications other than bleeding are rare. The incidence of complications after labial MSGB procedure was not different in participants with PSS than in those without PSS.
Bariatric endoscopy: current primary therapies and endoscopic management of complications and other related conditions
Authors: Castro Melissa , Guerron Alfredo Daniel
Published: August 2020

The steady increase in bariatric surgery has led to room for innovation. Endoscopy has become an important tool for evaluation, diagnosis, management of complications, and even for primary bariatric interventions. Leaks are the most feared complication and new endoscopic therapies have been developed such as septotomy, double-pigtail stents, and endoscopic vacuum therapy. Additionally, primary bariatric endoscopic procedures are gaining popularity and the new procedures include intragastric balloons, stoma reduction, aspiration therapy, among others. The altered anatomy and reoperation increase the risk of complications after bariatric surgery, especially when managing conditions like achalasia, gastroparesis, and cholelithiasis. Per-oral endoscopic myotomy, per-oral pyloromyotomy, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography provide a less invasive approach to address these conditions. This narrative review article intends to expose current endoscopic therapies for the management of primary bariatric procedures, complications and related conditions.

Background: Intestinal parasitic infections are the most common infections in the developing world. Globally, out of the 1.5 billion annual cases of diarrhea, about 70% or 1.05 billion cases are thought to be caused by biological contamination of food. In Ethiopia, due to poor environmental sanitation, low awareness about personal hygiene, lack of pure potable water, and improper faecal disposal, intestinal parasitic infections are highly prevalent. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of intestinal parasitosis among food handlers working in food and drinking establishments in Ginnir town, southeast, Ethiopia.Methods: Cross-sectional study design was employed from May 1 to May 29, 2014 in food and drinking establishments in Ginnir town. A total of 348 food handlers were enrolled and stool specimens were collected, and examined using direct saline and formol-ether concentration methods. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed. A P-value <0.05 was considered as an indicator of statistical significance.Results: The overall prevalence of intestinal parasitosis among food handlers was 48/348 (13.8%) [95%, CI=6.8-20.6]. Entamoeba histolytica/dispar 23/348 (6.6%) followed by Giardia lamblia 16/348 (4.6%), Ascaris lumbricoides 7/348 (2.0%) and Strongyloides stercolaris 2/348 (0.6%) were the detected parasites. Moreover, amongst positives for intestinal parasites, comparable proportions of parasites were detected in males (52%) and females (48%). Habit of eating raw/under cooked vegetables (p=0.00; aOR=2.60; 95%, CI=1.94-8.67), hand washing habit before eating (p=0.03; aOR=1.22; 95%, CI=1.01-3.89), hand washing habit after visiting toilet (p=0.01; aOR=2.85; 95%, CI=2.06-8.31), hand washing habit before food preparation (p=0.02; aOR=1.85; 95%, CI=1.27-4.34) and poor personal hygiene (p=0.00; aOR=3.39; 95%, CI=1.51-10.23) were factors associated with intestinal parasitic infections.Conclusions: The prevalence of intestinal parasitosis among food handlers was relatively low. Though the prevalence was low; regular medical check-up, training and health education on safe food handling and processing should be given to all food handlers.

Published: August 2020

Background: Since deinstitutionalization in the 1950s-1970s, public mental health care has changed its focus from asylums to general hospitals, outpatient clinics and specialized community-based programs addressing both clinical and social determinants of mental health. Analysis of the place of community-based programs within a comprehensive health system such as the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) may illuminate the role of social forces in shaping contemporary public mental health systems. Methods: National VHA administrative data were used to compare veterans who exclusively received outpatient clinic care to those receiving four types of specialized community-based services, addressing: 1) functional disabilities from severe mental illness (SMI), 2) justice system involvement, 3) homelessness, and 4) vocational rehabilitation. Bivariate comparisons and multinomial logistic regression analyses compared groups on demographics, diagnoses, service use, and psychiatric prescription fills. Results: An hierarchical classification of 1,386,487 Veterans who received specialty mental health services from VHA in Fiscal Year 2012, showed 1,134,977 (81.8%) were seen exclusively in outpatient clinics; 27,931 (2.0 %) received intensive SMI-related services; 42,985 (3.1%) criminal justice services; 160,273 (11.6%) specialized homelessness services; and 20,921 (1.5%) vocational services. Compared to those seen only in clinics, veterans in the four community treatment groups were more likely to be black, diagnosed with HIV and hepatitis, had more numerous substance use diagnoses and made far more extensive use of mental health outpatient and inpatient care. Conclusions: Almost one-fifth of VHA mental health patients receive community-based services prominantly addressing major social determinants of health and multimorbid substance use disorders.

Background Orthodenticle homeobox 1 (OTX1) is a transcription factor that plays an important role in various human cancers. However, the function of OTX1 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is largely unknown. We aimed to explore the roles of OTX1 in LSCC and its possible molecular mechanism.Methods The expression levels of OTX1 were assessed in LSCC cell lines and tissue samples. We further examined the effect of OTX1 on LSCC progression. The upstream regulator of OTX1 was identified using a computer algorithm and confirmed experimentally. Results OTX1 was highly expressed in 70.7% (70/99) of LSCC tissue samples. The OTX1 expression in LSCC was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis. High OTX1 expression in patients with LSCC was correlated with poor prognosis. Knockdown of OTX1 inhibited proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion in LSCC cells. Knockdown of OTX1 inhibited tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model. Mechanistically, OTX1 might act as a direct target of miR-129-5p. OTX1 enhanced tumorigenicity and tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions Our findings support that OTX1 is an oncogene in LSCC tumorigenesis and progression. Furthermore, OTX1 is a direct target of miR-129-5p in LSCC cells. Taken together, OTX1 is a promising diagnostic and therapeutic marker for LSCC.

Published: August 2020

Background: In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and clinical outcomes of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) for patients with renal stones using pure fluoroscopy (FS) or ultrasound-assisted (USa) localization with two lithotripters.Methods: We retrospectively identified 425 patients with renal calculi who underwent SWL with either a LiteMed LM-9200 ELMA lithotripter (209 cases), which combined ultrasound and fluoroscopic stone targeting or a Medispec EM-1000 lithotripter machine (216 cases), which used fluoroscopy for stone localization and tracking. The patient demographic data, stone-free rates, stone disintegration rates, retreatment rates and complication rates were analyzed.Results: The USa group had a significantly higher overall stone-free rate (43.6 vs. 28.2%, p<0.001) and stone disintegration rate (85.6 vs. 64.3%, p<0.001), as well as a significantly lower retreatment rate (14.8 vs. 35.6%, p<0.001) and complication rate (1.9 vs. 5.5%, p=0.031) compared with the FS group. This superiority remained significant in the stone size <1cm stratified group. In the stone size >1cm group, the stone-free rate (32.4 vs. 17.8%, p=0.028), disintegration rate (89.2 vs. 54.8%, p=0.031) and retreatment rate (21.6 vs. 53.4%, p<0.001) were still significantly better in the USa group, however there was no significant difference in the complication rate. The most common complication was post-SWL-related flank pain.Conclusion: Extracorporeal SWL using ultrasound combined with fluoroscopy for stone localization and real-time tracking, provides higher stone-free rates and stone disintegration rates, as well as lower retreatment rates and fewer complications.
