First-Year Studentsâ€™ Views on Prescribed Book for Translation Practice: A Case Study of a South African University of Technology
Authors: Mnguni Aaron
Published: May 2020

Translation as a field of study is fairly new in South Africa because before 1994, the official languages were English and Afrikaans and everybody was expected to know and use those languages. Consequently, there is not much about translation practice that is written by South African authors. Following this, translation books from outside South Africa are generally used and prescribed, thus stifling inherent experiences, since little is written by the South Africans themselves.Â  A total number of 46 language practice students participated in this quantitative study. This study explored challenges encountered by first year language practice students, when using their prescribed book, at the Central University of Technology, Welkom Campus. Results indicated that students were not benefitting maximally from using the prescribed book, which is by any standard an excellent book. The socio-cultural experiences of the students were missing, thus prevent studentsâ€™ from mastering the subject content better. From the data collected, it is recommended, amongst other recommendations, that a bias towards books reflecting South African experiences be prioritized as well as also allowing students to participate in making book choices.

Published: May 2020

Bleeding associated with uterine leiomyoma is a common complication for many women. Sustained bleeding reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin. However, a hemoglobin value below 2.0 g/dL due to bleeding is not common. Such a low level compensatively increases sympathetic tone and can lead to stress-induced cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. We report a case of severe anemia (1.4 g/dL of hemoglobin) with acute heart failure due to myoma-related bleeding.Â Â

The Islamic Republic of Iran in Search of its Foreign Policy Identity: Revolutionary Innovation or Continuity?
Authors: Kozhanov N. A. , Bogacheva A. S.
Published: May 2020

Self-perception in the international arena plays a great role in the development of a country's foreign policy strategy. Not all states can answer the question «who are we in relation to others»? In particular, we can describe the past 20 century and the first decades of the 21st century as the time of Tehran's search for its foreign policy identity, which is not finished even today. Despite many discussion, the Iranian political elite has not only failed to find a single definition of its foreign policy selfhood, but has produced several more formulas of its own identity, which often contradict each other, although they coexist. The events of 1979, when the new leadership that came to power in the course of revolutionary upheavals announced the rejection of the traditions of the Shah's Iran and the building of a new "revolutionary" nation with its own special foreign policy identity, had a significant impact on the process of forming the Iranian selfhood. The article analyzes the main trends that exist in the Iranian foreign policy self-perception, in order to confirm the hypothesis that the «revolutionary experiment» did not lead to a break in the continuity in the issue of Iranian self-identification. On the contrary, there is an attempt by the country's leadership to combine Islamic, revolutionary and nationalist principles in determining the role of their country in the international arena, which let us speak about the multi-component foreign policy identity of modern Iran.

Authors: Wilson Garland , Jenkins Justin , Blake Gregory
Published: May 2020

The predictions point toward increasing difficulty in recruiting academic faculty in Family Medicine.  The 2017 AAMC Final Report, “The Complexities of Physician Supply and Demand: Projections from 2015 to 2030” predicts significant physician shortages by 2025.  Changes in practice styles, patient demographics, delivery models, retirement goals, and economic trends make the recruitment of academic faculty more challenging as the physician workforce shrinks.

The purpose of this descriptive report is to share how we developed and implemented an academic faculty model that would nurture residents from our program to become members of the Family Medicine faculty, rather than rely on traditional recruiting practices that had proven to be unsuccessful.

This process incorporates a faculty /resident needs assessment, development of a customized third-year rotation in academic medicine, completion of faculty development training, a specialized mentorship program and focused orientation.  Following this plan, we successfully recruited three new faculty physicians for our residency program.

Border areas are categorized as disadvantaged areas due to various factors, such as locations that are relatively remote with difficult levels of accessibility, low levels of education and public health, relatively low levels of socioeconomic welfare, and limited facilities and infrastructure that cause disparities in the welfare of border communities. Ironically, this border area is the entrance gates (border gates), if not managed properly it will succeed in overcoming the complexity between the bordering countries. On the other hand, borders are often a serious problem in relations between countries. One problem that often arises and seizes a lot of attention until now is the problem of regional boundaries. These problems are usually in line with the socio-economic community. Poverty and underdevelopment tend to be characteristic of communities at the border. Synergy of stakeholders' interests to build community welfare. This article uses qualitative data with data sources and literature that discusses the benefits of border communities. The validity and reliability of the data is done by reference triangulation. The results of the study show that the realization of community welfare is undeniably a national disintegration.

Is continuous infusion of high-dose ifosfamide, a safe option? Drug review
Authors: Gharote Mukul Arvind
Published: May 2020

Higher doses of ifosfamide are required to treat Sarcoma, Bone sarcomas, germ cell tumours and lymphoma. Recent protocols are based on continuous infusion of ifosfamide for 5-14 days. But what is the evidence behind it? and experience?. We present a review of high dose ifosfamide and our small experience in giving ifosfamide, both as continuous infusion and as bolus dose, as per the respective protocol. We also report MESNA with its role in reducing the urotoxicity and required dose variation according to Ifosfamide dose. In children, however, we prefer bolus as compared to continuous infusion due to nephrotoxicity. In India, many oncologists prefer to give ifosfamide as bolus dose over 3-4 hr and the dose given is much lesser. Many a times they face myelotoxicity and other non haematological toxicities. This leads to negative impact on patient compliance and ultimately the treatment is not completed properly. If a proper dose infusion is planned, this toxicity may be reduced to some extent. We need an Indian data on continuous vs bolus dose ifosfamide. High dose ifosfmide is required for better treatment of soft tissue sarcoma.

Authors: Deedwania Preeti , Deka Dipika , Mohanty Sujata , Dadhwal Vatsla , Sharma Aparna
Published: May 2020

Objectives:

The study aims to isolate, expand, and check the feasibility and differentiation potential of amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cell (AF-MSC) from the minimum amount of amniotic fluid.

Materials and Methods:

Amniotic fluid samples were collected from women undergoing 2nd trimester amniocentesis between 16 and 24 weeks of period of gestation. MSCs were isolated and characterized by MSCs surface marker profiling and were expanded in specific growth media to assess their differentiation capability into osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes. The differentiation was confirmed using specific staining.

Results:

The isolated AF-MSCs showed successful stem cell population for 18 samples out of 23. All the isolated AF-MSCs showed positivity for MSCs surface markers. For osteocyte differentiation, cells were cultured in osteogenic induction media for 4 weeks, and the differentiation was confirmed by staining with Alizarin Red S stain, which showed extracellular matrix mineralization. For adipocytes differentiation, the induction media exhibited lipid droplets and positive staining with Oil Red O stain. Similarly, cells cultured in chondrocytes differentiation media, showed positive staining with Alcian Blue.

Conclusion:

AF-MSCs have the capacity to differentiate into common mesodermal cell types. Considering their easy accessibility, amniotic fluid could be a good source for MSCs with a greater potential for cellular therapy in various chronic disabling diseases, for example, spinal cord injuries, massive bone and cartilage damage, and demyelinating diseases.
