Authors: Zhai Yanlei , Cui Yuanyuan , Song Miaoyu , Vainstein Alexander , Chen Shangwu , Ma Huiqin
Published: May 2021

The papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs) are the most abundant family of cysteine proteases in plants, with essential roles in biotic/abiotic stress responses, growth and senescence. Papain, bromelain and ficin are widely used in food, medicine and other industries. In this study, 31 PLCP genes (FcPCLPs) were identified in the fig (Ficus carica L.) genome by HMM search and manual screening, and assigned to one of nine subfamilies based on gene structure and conserved motifs. SAG12 and RD21 were the largest subfamilies with 10 and 7 members, respectively. The FcPCLPs ranged from 1,128 to 5,075 bp in length, containing 1–10 introns, and the coding sequence ranged from 624 to 1,518 bp, encoding 207–505 amino acids. Subcellular localization analysis indicated that 24, 2, and 5 PLCP proteins were targeted to the lysosome/vacuole, cytoplasm and extracellular matrix, respectively. Promoter (2,000 bp upstream) analysis of FcPLCPs revealed a high number of plant hormone and low temperature response elements. RNA-seq revealed differential expression of 17 FcPLCPs in the inflorescence and receptacle, and RD21 subfamily members were the major PLCPs expressed in the fruit; 16 and 5 FcPLCPs responded significantly to ethylene and light, respectively. Proteome analyses revealed 18 and 5 PLCPs in the fruit cell soluble proteome and fruit latex, respectively. Ficins were the major PLCP in fig fruit, with decreased abundance in inflorescences, but increased abundance in receptacles of commercial-ripe fruit. FcRD21B/C and FcALP1 were aligned as the genes encoding the main ficin isoforms. Our study provides valuable multi-omics information on the FcPLCP family and lays the foundation for further functional studies.

Authors: Wang Xue , Zhang Wei
Published: May 2021

Anxiety is one of the most important affective factors affecting college students' foreign language learning. Especially in the Internet age, new teaching ideas and methods bring new load and anxiety to students' psychology. Taking students who attend a college English online course learning as the research object, this paper analyzes the general situation and professional skills of the students' psychological anxiety under the network environment by using the method of investigation and data analysis. It conceives six methods to reduce the students' psychological anxiety according to the reason analysis and summarizes the more effective ways with data mining of another questionnaire. It points out that teachers can advocate the mode of group learning and peer cooperation, strengthen the timeliness and diversity of tests, increase the richness of extracurricular activities, and increase teachers' and students' quality of online teaching and learning to reduce the anxiety of students' foreign language learning in an online teaching environment.
Effect of Handwriting on Visual Word Recognition in Chinese Bilingual Children and Adults
Authors: Guan Connie Qun , Smolen Elaine R. , Meng Wanjin , Booth James R.
Published: May 2021

In a digital era that neglects handwriting, the current study is significant because it examines the mechanisms underlying this process. We recruited 9- to 10-year-old Chinese children (n = 24), who were at an important period of handwriting development, and adult college students (n = 24), for both behavioral and electroencephalogram (EEG) experiments. We designed four learning conditions: handwriting Chinese (HC), viewing Chinese (VC), drawing shapes followed by Chinese recognition (DC), and drawing shapes followed by English recognition (DE). Both behavioral and EEG results showed that HC facilitated visual word recognition compared to VC, and behavioral results showed that HC facilitated visual word recognition compared to drawing shapes. HC and VC resulted in a lateralization of the N170 in adults, but not in children. Taken together, the results of the study suggest benefits of handwriting on the neural processing and behavioral performance in response to Chinese characters. The study results argue for maintaining handwriting practices to promote the perception of visual word forms in the digital age.
Components and Mechanisms: How Children Talk About Machines in Museum Exhibits
Authors: Attisano Elizabeth , Nancekivell Shaylene E. , Denison Stephanie
Published: May 2021

The current investigation examines children’s (N = 61; 4- to 8-year old) learning about a novel machine in a local history museum. Parent–child dyads were audio-recorded as they navigated an exhibit that contained a novel artifact: a coffee grinder from the turn of the 20th century. Prior to entering the exhibit, children were randomly assigned to receive an experimental “component” prompt that focused their attention on the machine’s internal mechanisms or a control “history” prompt. First, we audio-recorded children and their caregivers while they freely explored the exhibit, and then, we measured children’s learning by asking them two questions in a test phase. Children of all ages, regardless of the prompt given, discussed most aspects of the machine, including the whole machine, its parts, and, to a lesser extent, its mechanisms. In the test phase, older children recalled more information than younger children about all aspects of the machine and appeared more knowledgeable to adult coders. Overall, this suggests that children of all ages were motivated to discuss all aspects of a machine, but some scaffolding may be necessary to help the youngest children take full advantage of these learning opportunities. While the prompts did not significantly influence the number of children who discussed the machine’s mechanisms, children who received the component prompt were rated as more knowledgeable about the machine in the test phase, suggesting that this prompt influenced what they learned. Implications for visitor experience and exhibit design are discussed.
Perceived Social Support and Life Satisfaction in Infertile Women Undergoing Treatment: A Moderated Mediation Model
Authors: Chu Xiying , Geng Yaoguo , Zhang Ruiping , Guo Wenjing
Published: May 2021

Perceived social support is positively related to life satisfaction in infertile women. Whereas, the underlying mechanism of this relationship is unclear. The present study aimed to investigate whether self-compassion mediated the relationship of perceived social support with life satisfaction and whether infertility self-efficacy moderated the relationship between perceived social support and self-compassion in infertile women. A total of 290 infertile women in mainland China undergoing treatment completed an online survey assessing perceived social support, life satisfaction, self-compassion, and infertility self-efficacy. The results supported the mediation model that perceived social support was associated with life satisfaction via self-compassion. Besides, infertility self-efficacy moderated the relationship between perceived social support and self-compassion. Specifically, perceived social support displayed a stronger predictive effect on self-compassion when infertile women had higher level of infertility self-efficacy.
Bystander Roles in Cyberbullying: A Mini-Review of Who, How Many, and Why
Authors: Polanco-Levicán Karina , Salvo-Garrido Sonia
Published: May 2021

Cyberbullying has progressively increased due to the massive use of the internet and social networks. Bystanders constitute the largest group, occupying a key role in the evolution of the cyberbullying situation and its consequences for the victim. Research shows different ways in which bystanders behave, suggesting different types of sub-roles associated with different study variables. The objective of this literature review is to identify and characterize the roles of bystanders in cyberbullying situations that involve adolescent students. To achieve this objective, a systematic search was carried out in the Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases for articles published between 2015 and 2020, resulting in 233 articles. Articles were then selected by relevant title and summary. Subsequently, the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, resulting in a total of nine articles. The findings of this review allowed us to identify two to five types of bystanders, the largest type representing outsiders and the smallest type representing assistants of the aggressor. The identified types of bystanders are characterized for variables such as sex, age, previous experience, and empathy. The results are discussed considering the available theoretical and empirical evidence.

Published: May 2021

The aim of this study was to analyze the association between coaches’ experience and their perceptions on the implementation of a long-term athletic development (LTAD) model created in 2016 by the Portuguese Swimming Federation. Eighty-six swimming coaches were assembled in groups according to their experience level: “novice” (n = 24), “intermediate” (n = 26), and “experienced” (n = 36), and they answered a questionnaire with the following items: (i) awareness of the existing model (ii) acceptance (iii) usefulness for practice, and (iv) implementation of this model by their peers. Regardless of experience, ~67% of the coaches were aware of the model. Among those, a large number showed acceptance (~95%) and confidence in its usefulness (~83%) for their daily practice. Most coaches (92%) showed concerns about the fact that their peers do not respect the model frameworks, declaring the search for their swimmers’ immediate success (~58%) as the main cause for such behavior. The results also showed an association between experience and knowledge about the model’s existence [χ2 (2) = 10.223, p < 0.01, V = 0.345], and experienced coaches exhibited better knowledge than their intermediate [χ2 (2) = 9.555, p < 0.01, V = 0.393] or novice [χ2 (2) = 5.926, p = 0.02, V = 0.314] counterparts. While there was an association between the coaches’ experience and knowledge about the LTAD model’s existence, this situation does not seem to influence the way coaches accept and understand the usefulness of the model for their daily practice.

Published: May 2021

The current study aimed at increasing our understanding of the psychological impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on undergraduate students, particularly with respect to the association between personality traits; defense mechanisms (DMs); depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms (DASSs); and compliance with the government recommended health measures. A sample of 1,427 Italian undergraduate students were administered the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5—Brief Form; the Defense Style Questionnaire-40; and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21. Compliance with the COVID-19 behavioral recommendations was measured through a 10-item survey measure. Results showed that immature DMs and internalizing personality traits (i.e., detachment, negative affect, psychoticism) were risk factors of DASSs. Furthermore, subjects with higher levels of DASSs appeared less compliant with the health measures recommended by the Italian government. Experts may use these results to identify and subsequently support (via the Internet) young subjects at greater risk of mental health problems as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: May 2021

Objective:Where traditional approaches fall short, widely accessible and accepted, yet under leveraged, digital technologies such as text messaging present novel opportunities to solve a range of health care solutions. The following provides a preliminary analysis of the Text4Support program, a text-messaging intervention using the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, which seeks to support the health and well-being of individuals seeking support for addiction or mental health concerns. The goal of this study was to assess whether the Text4Support program improved the perceived overall mental well-being of participants.

Methods:The evaluation analyzes survey responses of individuals who were enrolled in the Text4Support program beginning in July 2019, who had completed the 6-months program by May 2020. Participants were asked to provide responses to three surveys during their time in the program—at baseline, 12-weeks and 6-months, which included questions documenting demographic information, general satisfaction with the program, and a participants' level of “global distress” through use of the Clinical Outcomes Routine Evaluation System (CORE-10)—a validated brief 10-item assessment and outcome measurement tool used to assess conditions including anxiety, depression, physical problems, and risk to self.

Results and Conclusions:This data set did not include a large enough sample of participants to reach statistical significance. Nevertheless, the study provides some preliminary analysis, and identifies opportunities for the future analysis and research.
The Impact of Self-Representation and Consistency in Collaborative Virtual Environments
Authors: Collingwoode-Williams Tara , O'Shea Zoë , Gillies Marco , Pan Xueni
Published: May 2021

This paper explores the impact of self-representation (full body Self Avatar vs. Just Controllers) in a Collaborate Virtual Environment (CVE) and the consistency of self-representation between the users. We conducted two studies: Study 1 between a confederate and a participant, Study 2 between two participants. In both studies, participants were asked to play a collaborative game, and we investigated the effect on trust with a questionnaire, money invested in a trust game, and performance data. Study 1 suggested that having a Self Avatar made the participant give more positive marks to the confederate and that when the confederate was without an avatar, they received more trust (measured by money). Study 2 showed that consistency led to more trust and better productivity. Overall, results imply consistency improves trust only when in an equal social dynamic in CVE, and that the use of confederate could shift the social dynamics.
Training Load Capacity, Cumulative Risk, and Bone Stress Injuries: A Narrative Review of a Holistic Approach
Authors: Hamstra-Wright Karrie L. , Huxel Bliven Kellie C. , Napier Christopher
Published: May 2021

Bone stress injuries (BSIs) are a common orthopedic injury with short-term, and potentially long-term, effects. Training load capacity, influenced by risk factors, plays a critical role in the occurrence of BSIs. Many factors determine how one's body responds to repetitive loads that have the potential to increase the risk of a BSI. As a scientific community, we have identified numerous isolated BSI risk factors. However, we have not adequately analyzed the integrative, holistic, and cumulative nature of the risk factors, which is essential to determine an individual's specific capacity. In this narrative review, we advocate for a personalized approach to monitor training load so that individuals can optimize their health and performance. We define “cumulative risk profile” as a subjective clinical determination of the number of risk factors with thoughtful consideration of their interaction and propose that athletes have their own cumulative risk profile that influences their capacity to withstand specific training loads. In our narrative review, we outline BSI risk factors, discuss the relationship between BSIs and training load, highlight the importance of individualizing training load, and emphasize the use of a holistic assessment as a training load guide.

Published: May 2021

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant B.1.1.7 causes a more transmissible and apparently more severe disease. We report its early introduction from Europe to South America from a traveler who arrived in Uruguay from the United Kingdom, even before B.1.1.7 was recognized as a variant of concern. This highlights the risk of introduction of SARS-CoV-2 variants despite strict contingency protocols and underscores the need of improving real-time surveillance worldwide.
Coaggregation of Asthma and Type 1 Diabetes in Children: A Narrative Review
Authors: Sgrazzutti Laura , Sansone Francesco , Attanasi Marina , Di Pillo Sabrina , Chiarelli Francesco
Published: May 2021

Asthma and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are two of the most frequent chronic diseases in children, representing a model of the atopic and autoimmune diseases respectively. These two groups of disorders are mediated by different immunological pathways, T helper (Th)1 for diabetes and Th2 for asthma. For many years, these two groups were thought to be mutually exclusive according to the Th1/Th2 paradigm. In children, the incidence of both diseases is steadily increasing worldwide. In this narrative review, we report the evidence of the potential link between asthma and T1DM in childhood. We discuss which molecular mechanisms could be involved in the link between asthma and T1DM, such as genetic predisposition, cytokine patterns, and environmental influences. Cytokine profile of children with asthma and T1DM shows an activation of both Th1 and Th2 pathways, suggesting a complex genetic-epigenetic interaction. In conclusion, in children, the potential link between asthma and T1DM needs further investigation to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to these patients. The aim of this review is to invite the pediatricians to consider the potential copresence of these two disorders in clinical practice.
Increasing uptake of NHS Health Checks: a randomised controlled trial using GP computer prompts
Authors: Gold Natalie , Tan Karen , Sherlock Joseph , Watson Robin , Chadborn Tim
Published: May 2021

Background

Public Health England wants to increase the uptake of the NHS Health Check (NHSHC), a cardiovascular disease prevention programme. Most invitations are sent by letter, but opportunistic invitations may be issued and verbal invitations have a higher rate of uptake. Prompting staff to issue opportunistic invitations might increase uptake.

Aim

To assess the effect on uptake of automated prompts to clinical staff to invite patients to NHSHC, delivered via primary care computer systems.

Design and setting

Pseudo-randomised controlled trial of patients eligible for the NHSHC attending GP practices in Southwark, London.

Method

Eligible patients were allocated into one of two conditions, (a) Prompt and (b) No Prompt, to clinical staff. The primary outcome was attendance at an NHSHC.

Results

Fifteen of 43 (34.88%) practices in Southwark were recruited; 7564 patients were eligible for an NHSHC, 3778 (49.95%) in the control and 3786 (50.05%) in the intervention. Attendance in the intervention arm was 454 (12.09%) compared with 280 (7.41%) in the control group, a total increase of 4.58% (OR = 2.28; 95% CI = 1.46 to 3.55; P<0.001). Regressions found an interaction between intervention and sex (OR = 0.65; 95% CI = 0.44 to 0.86, P = 0.004), with the intervention primarily effective on males. Comparing the probabilities of attendance for each age category across intervention and control suggests that the intervention was primarily effective for younger patients.

Conclusion

Prompts on computer systems in general practice were effective at improving the uptake of the NHSHC, especially for males and younger patients.

Published: May 2021

Background

Increasing pressure on emergency services has led to the development of different models of care delivery including GPs working in or alongside emergency departments (EDs), but with a lack of evidence for patient safety outcomes.

Aim

This study aimed to explore how care processes work and how patient safety incidents associated with GPs working in ED settings may be mitigated.

Design and setting

Realist methodology with a purposive sample of 13 EDs in England and Wales with different GP service models. The study sought to understand the relationship between contexts, mechanisms, and outcomes to develop theories about how and why patient safety incidents may occur, and how safe care was perceived to be delivered.

Method

Qualitative data were collected (observations, semi-structured audio-recorded staff interviews, and local patient safety incident reports). Data were coded using ‘if, then, because’ statements to refine initial theories developed from an earlier rapid realist literature review and analysis of a sample of national patient safety incident reports.

Results

The authors developed a programme theory to describe how safe patient care was perceived to be delivered in these service models, including: an experienced streaming nurse using local guidance and early warning scores; support for GPs’ clinical decision making, with clear governance processes relevant to the intended role (traditional GP approach or emergency medicine approach); and strong clinical leadership to promote teamwork and improve communication between services.

Conclusion

The findings of this study can be used as a focus for more in-depth human factors investigations to optimise work conditions in this complex care delivery setting.
Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language to Young Learners: Epistemological Beliefs of Pre-service Teachers
Authors: Caner Mustafa , Kurt Berker
Published: May 2021

Teaching Turkish as a foreign language gained momentum in the last decades of the 20th century. However, teaching Turkish as a foreign language to young learners is still in its infancy as a field of study. Therefore, investigating practitioners’ epistemological beliefs on the issue will contribute to fill the gap in the literature. Regarding this fact, the present study intended to scrutinize epistemological beliefs of pre-service Turkish language teachers on teaching Turkish as a foreign language to young learners. Adopting a hermeneutic phenomenological research design, which is a qualitative study in nature, the present study gathered data from 66 pre-service Turkish language teachers enrolled in a state university in Turkey through written interview forms. The content analysis of the gathered qualitative data revealed that although all the participants took a course on teaching Turkish as a foreign language, almost none of them felt satisfaction in terms of their accomplishments in teaching Turkish as a foreign language to young learners. The findings also revealed that the participants had varying reasons for their dissatisfaction, including theory and adult-oriented course contents and lack of practice in the field. As for suggestions for additional policies on teaching Turkish as a foreign language to young learners, the participants recommended launching field-specific courses for pre-service teachers.

Authors: Valizadeh Mohammadreza
Published: May 2021

This experimental study, using pretest-intervention-posttest design, investigated whether or not teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) learners to use comprehension strategies when they read English passages, decreases their English reading anxiety. The participants were 55 EFL learners in Turkey who were at lower-intermediate level based on the results of the Oxford Quick Placement Test. Data were collected via Saito, Garza, and Horwitz’s (1999)Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale (FLRAS). The whole treatment/control period lasted for 11 weeks during a reading course. The experimental group (n = 28) received instruction in reading comprehension strategies (i.e., previewing, scanning for details, skimming, identifying the topic and main idea, finding supporting details, making inferences, understanding the author’s purpose, making predictions, dealing with unfamiliar words, using context clues, and summarizing). The control group (n = 27) received instruction by traditional teaching methods (i.e., reading, paraphrasing, translating, and answering the exercises).The results of the Mann-Whitney U Test indicated that instruction in English reading comprehension strategies had a positive effect on EFL learners in terms of reducing their English reading anxiety.

Authors: Alper Ardıç Mehmet
Published: May 2021

It is known that teachers’ negative opinions, attitudes and lack of self-confidence towards technology in education negatively affect the technology integration process as an internal barrier. In this study, in order to understand the holistic effect of these internal barriers, the relationship between teachers ‘views on students’ use of technological tools, their attitudes towards technology and their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) self-confidence was investigated. 378 secondary school teachers participated in the study, in which relational screening model was used. The data of the study were collected through the Scale of Attitudes Towards Technology (SATT), TPCK Confidence Survey, and Personal Information Form. Multivariate Kruskal-Wallis H Test was employed in order to identify the relationships between teachers’ opinions and the factors of the scales, Pearson Moments Multiplication Correlation Coefficient was used so as to identify the relationship of the factors with each other, and multiple linear regression analysis was performed in order to determine the level of teachers’ attitudes predicting their TPCK confidence. It was determined that there was positive and significant relationships between the teachers’ opinions about the students’ benefiting from technological tools and their attitudes, and between the teachers’ opinions about the students’ benefiting from technological tools in the lessons and their TPCK confidence. In addition, it was understood that there were positive and significant relationships between all factors of the attitude scale and confidence scale, and that the teachers’ attitudes towards technology was a significant predictor of their TPCK confidence.

Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) merupakan salah satu virus yang menyebabkan penyakit pada manusia dan hewan. Penyakit ini menyebabkan gangguan saluran pernapasan sedang atau berat. Telah dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui dinamika perkembangan COVID-19 dengan menggunakan model persamaan diferensial SIR. Model SIR merupakan salah satu pemodelan matematika yang menghubungkan antara individu yang rentan, terinfeksi dan individu yang sembuh. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dinamik model SIR dengan parameter laju infeksi dan laju kesembuhan berturut-turut yaitu beta = 0.5 dan gama=0.3 . Model SIR memiliki dua titik kesetimbangan yaitu kesetimbangan bebas penyakit pada titik E_0=(0,0,0)  dan titik kesetimbangan endemik pada titik E_1=(gama/beta,0,0) . Analisis kestabilan perilaku dinamik model S dan I pada titik kesetimbangan E_0=(0,0,0) memiliki sifat semi stabil dan E_1=(gama/beta,0,0)  memiliki sifat konstan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa akan terjadi epidemi COVID-19 dalam kurun waktu tertentu. Solusi dinamik model SIR pada titik kesetimbangan menggunakan solusi numerik metode runge-kutta orde 4 dengan solusi analitik menunjukkan suatu perbedaan yang tidak terlalu besar saat mencapai titik kestabilan.

Current Trends and Methodological Approaches in the Analysis of Metaphors in Religious Discourse: From Idealized Cognitive Models to Multimodality
Authors: Bernad-Mechó Edgar
Published: May 2021

This paper aims to explore some of the current theoretical and
methodological trends employed in the analysis of metaphors in religious
discourse under the umbrella of Cognitive Linguistics. First, this study
reviews a series of theoretical tenets of Cognitive Linguistics towards the
study of literary texts, namely Cognitive Stylistics and Multimodality.
Then, some of the most important studies of metaphors in religious
scriptures are reviewed within three contexts: Judeo-Christian, Islamic and
Buddhist. Finally, some proposals for the methodological analysis of
metaphors in religious texts are presented. Ultimately, we argue that
evolution from traditional cognitivist analyses (following Idealized
Cognitive Models) towards multimodal analyses of metaphors is necessary
to obtain a more holistic image of the events.
A CLINICAL STUDY TO CORRELATE LOWER URINARY TRACT SYMPTOMS DUE TO BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA WITH THE PROSTATE VOLUME AND THE INTRAVESICAL PROSTATIC PROTRUSION

Published: May 2021

Introduction: International Prostate Symptom score (IPSS) which is identical to AUA symptom index, is recommended as a symptom scoring
instrument to be used for baseline assessment of symptoms severity in men presenting with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms.The correlation of
prostate volume PV, IPP and IPSS has been extensively investigated. It was generally accepted that there was weak correlation of PV with IPSS and
strong correlation of IPP with IPSS.We conducted this study to nd out whether this generally accepted correlation holds true for our patients from
north east region of india
Materials and Methods:This was a prospectively designed study conducted in the department of Urology, Regional institute of medical sciences
imphal to To correlate lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia with prostate volume and intravesical prostatic protrusion.
A total of 154 patients of BPH were included in the study. Statistical analysis was done by using IBM SPSS Version 21 for windows.Chi square
test/scher exact test was used as a test of signicance of the study for comparing the outcome variables. P-value <0.05 was taken as signicant.
Spearman correlation coefcient for categorical data and Pearson's correlation coefcient analysis for continuous variables was carried out
Results and Observations:In our study maximum number of patients were in the moderate IPSS grade category 89 patients(58.00%) were having
moderate symptoms,55 patients(36.0%) were having severe symptoms and 10 patients(6.0%) were having mild symptoms.There was statistically
signicant and strong correlation between intraprostatic protrusion and International Prostate Symptoms Score with ('p' value <0.0001 and r
=0.78). There was statistically signicant and strong correlation between Prostate volume (PV) and International Prostate Symptoms Score with
('p' value <0.001 and r =0.56).
Conclusion:This study concludes that both IPP and PV have strong correlation with symptoms of BOO measured by IPSS. IPP is easy to acquire
and non invasive. IPP can also helps in predicting some times the high IPSS score despite of a small prostate volume
HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY OF ENDOMETRIUM IN WOMEN WITH ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING

Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND –Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is dened as a bleeding pattern that differs in frequency, duration and amount from a pattern
observed during a normal menstrual cycle. The term dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is used to describe abnormal uterine bleeding for which
no specic cause has been found. AUB is one of the most common gynaecological problems. This study was done to evaluate histological patterns
of endometrium in women with abnormal uterine bleeding.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVE – To study various histological patterns of endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding and correlate it with age, parity
and symptoms.
MATERIAL AND METHODS –This is a retrospective study, conducted in the Department of Pathology, in a tertiary care hospital from 1st July
2016 to 30th June 2019. Total 718 specimens with AUB were included in the study from the age group of 21 to 95 years. The specimens received
were hysterectomy (74.65 %), endometrial biopsies (21.45%), dilatation and curettage (2.79 %) and transcervical resection of endometrium (1.11
%).
RESULTS –The patients with AUB were mainly from the age group 41-50 years with menorrhagia as the chief complaint. Most of the women with
AUB were multiparous (84.54%). The most common pattern observed on histopathological examination was proliferative endometrium (49.86%)
followed by atrophic endometrium (10.31%). Malignancy was found in 2.23% (Endometrioid carcinoma – 1.81%, serous carcinoma - 0.14% and
mucinous carcinoma – 0.28%). Endometrial hyperplasia without atypia (23 cases, 3.20%) was more common than endometrial atypical
hyperplasia (EAH) / endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia {EIN} (4 cases, 0.56 %). Various other patterns of endometrium on histopathology
were endometritis (6.82 %) followed by endometrial polyp (4.46 %).
CONCLUSION – Histopathological examination of endometrium should be done generously in women presenting with abnormal uterine
bleeding especially after the age of 40 years to rule out malignant pathology.

Published: May 2021

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare, highly malignant neoplasm originating from mesenchymal tissue which was initially described in 1 1991 by Gerald and Rosai. It is composed of small round tumor cells of uncertain histogenesis associated with prominent stromal desmoplasia and 2 polyphenotypic differentiation. It typically occurs in adolescents and young adults. Usually presents with widespread abdominal, serosal, and
mesenteric involvement with poor prognosis.
“PROSPECTIVE RANDOMISED COMPARATIVE STUDY OF USE OF FIBRIN GLUE VS. TACKERS AS METHOD OF MESH FIXATION IN LAPAROSCOPIC TRANSABDOMINAL PRE-PERITONEAL (TAPP) HERNIA REPAIR”
Authors: Andhare Ashish , Mahobia Hari S. , Bansal Abhishek
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: Fixation of mesh in pre-peritoneal space is an important step in laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair. Mesh dislocation is one of the
most frequent causes responsible for recurrence. Of the many factors inuencing postoperative pain, the technique of xation has been reported to
be one of the most signicant determinants. So mesh xation with adhesives instead of mechanical devices has been proposed as a mean to reduce
the incidence of postoperative pain.
AIM: To compare clinical outcome and morbidity of xation of mesh using brin glue and tackers in trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal
hernia repair
METHODOLOGY: We did a prospective randomized comparative study in which we enrolled 50 patients undergoing laparoscopic hernia repair
(TAPP). Those who met our inclusion criteria were randomized for study purpose after obtaining informed consent, in 25 patients mesh xed with
tackers (group A) and in other 25 patients mesh xed with brin glue (group B). Patients were compared for intraoperative time required for mesh
xation, early and late postoperative pain, time required to resume normal daily physical activity, length of hospital stay, hernia recurrence and
seroma formation. Postoperative follow up was done up to six months.
RESULTS: Two groups were comparable in terms of demographic variables. We observed that postoperative pain, time required resuming normal
daily activity and incidence of seroma formation was less in group B (Mesh xed with glue). There was no signicant difference in length of
hospital stay in both groups and no evidence of hernia recurrence in both groups during follow up period.
CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that xation of mesh with brin glue when compared with tackers, seems to reduce postoperative pain, time
to resume daily activities and incidence of seroma formation with no difference in length of hospital stay, early hernia recurrence with longer
operative time.
