Published: May 2021

The most common benign pelvic tumor in young women is uterine leiomyoma. It is often asymptomatic, but can cause symptoms such as pelvic-abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, urinary and intestinal transit disorders. If there is a suspicion of malignancy, it is necessary to perform fractional uterine curettage to establish the histopathological diagnosis. The surgical treatment of uterine leiomyoma includes several procedures: myomectomy, subtotal or total hysterectomy. The procedure will be chosen depending on the patient's particularities: BMI, uterine size, leiomyoma location, surgical history or other associated pathologies. Laparoscopic hysterectomy has a 45-minute shorter duration of intervention than vaginal hysterectomy, and the conversion rate to the open procedure is lower. Laparoscopically treated cases have fewer postoperative complications compared to other surgical procedures and have a shorter hospitalization and recovery time. The recurrence rate of uterine leiomyoma is similar for both laparoscopic and open abdominal approach, and the frequency of long-term complications such as adhesion syndrome or pelvic pain is higher after the latter.

Authors: Naveena MS R.
Published: May 2021

Objective. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical spectrum of obstructive jaundice in inflammation, stone disease, and malignancy. Methods. A descriptive observational study was done among 50 patients with the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice during the period 2012 to 2013. A detailed history and clinical examinations and radiological confirmation were done. Results. Among the participants, 74% participants had jaundice, 58% with vomiting as presenting complaints. Among benign cases, 60% were choledocholithiasis, 25% were common bile duct stricture, and 15% were choledochal cyst. Among malignant cases, 26.67% were periampullary carcinoma, 23.33% had carcinoma of the pancreas head, and 13.33% had D2 duodenal carcinoma. Conclusions. The etiology of obstructive jaundice was malignancy in the elderly male population. The most common presenting features were yellowish discoloration of skin and mucosa followed by vomiting and abdominal pain.
Transverse olecranon osteotomy with Gigli saw: A fast and reliable technique
Authors: Karslioglu Bulent
Published: May 2021

Objective. Distal humerus fractures constitute of approximately 2% of all fractures and 30% of elbow fractures. Olecranon osteotomy provides excellent exposure of distal humerus and articular surface. In this study, we aimed to compare transverse osteotomy with gigli saw and classical chevron osteotomy techniques in terms of osteotomy duration and clinical results. Materials and Methods. 40 elbows of 40 patients with Type B intraarticular distal humerus fractures according to AO classification were included in our study. Patients were divided into 2 groups as transverse or chevron osteotomy groups. Patients were evaluated in terms of intraoperative osteotomy time, postoperative time to union, range of motion in the elbow joint and Quick Dash scores at 6th, 12th and 24th months. Results. The mean age of the patients was 45.6 years (19-62). 40% of the patients (8 patients) in the Chevron group had more than 2 mm stepping at articular surface, while this rate was 10% (2 patients) in the gigli saw group. Union was obtained in all patients for both techniques. There was no significant difference between the mean QuickDASH scores and range of motion of the elbow joints except flexion in both groups. Range of motion of flexion was statistically better in the gigli saw group (p<0.05). Conclusions. Transverse osteotomy technique significantly reduces osteotomy and fixation time and will not cause problems in fracture union. It may be preferred because it is simpler and faster to apply than chevron osteotomy and because intra-articular stepping is less common.

Published: May 2021

Objetivo: Dado a complexidade da abordagem e divergência entre literaturas sobre Diabetes Mellitus Gestacional (DMG), os autores realizaram uma revisão bibliográfica abordando aspectos recentes relacionados a prevalência, rastreamento, prevenção e tratamento da referida patologia. Revisão bibliográfica: O DMG caracteriza-se por intolerância à glicose, podendo ocorrer em qualquer período da gestação e acarretar sérios danos. Ressalta-se a importância da manutenção do controle glicêmico evitando complicações na gestação. É necessário que desde o início da gestação seja realizado exame para o rastreamento da DMG, principalmente na 24ª a 28ª semana de gestação e em casos de diagnóstico positivo a primeira opção é o tratamento não medicamentoso, consistido de dieta e atividade física, não havendo melhora, o tratamento medicamentoso faz-se necessário, com uso de hipoglicemiantes orais ou insulinoterapia. Considerações finais: Diante das divergências existente no manejo da DMG, cabe ao profissional de saúde estar atualizado para realizar o acompanhamento das gestantes nas unidades básicas de saúde. Além disso, faz-se necessário a adesão de um consenso entre as literaturas para que se estabeleça um valor padrão melhorando a abordagem ao paciente.

Published: May 2021

Background:

Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is caused by autosomal dominant mutations. Since the coexistence of epilepsy and WS type I is rare, the detailed clinical features and treatment of epilepsy, including surgery, have not been fully reported for these patients. We report the first case of an individual with WS type I, who underwent corpus callosotomy (CC) for drug-resistant epilepsy and obtained good seizure outcomes.

Case Description:

A boy was diagnosed as having WS type I and developmental delay based on characteristic symptoms and a family history of hearing loss. He underwent cochlear implantation at 18 months of age. At 4 years of age, he developed epileptic seizures with a semiology of drop attack. Electroencephalography (EEG) showed bilateral synchronous high-amplitude spikes and wave bursts, dominant in the right hemisphere. Based on the multimodality examinations, we considered that ictal discharges propagated from the entire right hemisphere to the left, resulting in synchronous discharge and a clinical drop attack; therefore, CC was indicated. At 9 years of age, he underwent a front 2/3rd CC. At 1 year, the patient became seizure free, and interictal EEG showed less frequent and lower amplitude spike and wave bursts than before.

Conclusion:

When patients with WS Type I and cognitive impairment show drug-resistant epilepsy, clinicians should consider a presurgical evaluation.

Considering the post COVID-19 pandemic situation, it can be assumed that using safer clothing will be a great attraction point for consumers across the world. In that scenario, effective antimicrobial finishes that are readily available and cheap would contribute to the consumer demand of safer clothing. This study scrutinized the antimicrobial activity of bleached cotton fabric treated with extracts of Ocimum tenuiflorum (Basil), Mentha spicata (Spearmint), Centella asiatica (Indian pennywort) and Azadirachta indica (Neem) as antimicrobial finishes. The study aims at assessing the comparative activity of four abovementioned natural medicinal plants, which can be used as ecofriendly antimicrobial finishes for textiles. Bleached cotton fabric samples were treated with plant extractions following exhaust method and then evaluated by using ASTM E2149-01 method against gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. The results depicted that all the four samples showed antimicrobial activity with more than 95% reduction of micro-organisms. Among the four, Ocimum tenuiflorum (Basil) showed the best result against both E. coli and S. aureus with reduction percentage of 98.81% and 99.16% respectively. Although Azadirachta indica (Neem) has comparatively the lowest performance against E. coli, its antimicrobial activity against S. aureus is very close to Ocimum tenuiflorum (Basil).

Prenatal genetic diagnosis in euploid fetuses with increased Nuchal Translucency (NT) and persistently increased Nuchal Fold (NF) is challenging. The aims of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of pathogenic copy number variants and Noonan Syndrome (NS) in fetuses with increased NT and persistently increased Nuchal Fold (NF) to provide recommendations for pre-natal diagnostic strategies. This is a prospective study from 118 prenatal samples from fetuses with increased NT (≥3.5mm) in first trimester. Multiplex Ligation Dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA), Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA) and karyotyping were conducted. For fetuses with increased NF (≥6mm) in the second trimester with normal karyotype and CMA, targeted Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) tests for NS were carried out. A total of 118 fetuses had an NT measurement of ≥3.5mm performed MLPA and karyotyping, 89 euploid fetuses were further investigated with CMA, which yielded eight pathogenic CNVs (size ranged from 0.85Mb to 14.5Mb). Twenty fetuses had persistently increased NF at the second trimester. NS testing revealed 3/20 (15%) fetuses had pathogenic variants, and one (5%) with a novel variant of uncertain clinical significance inherited from the father. Our study suggested that NS targeted sequencing facilitates additional genetic diagnosis in fetuses with high NT and persistently increased NF.

Published: May 2021

Instrumentation developed to monitor and characterize light pollution from the ground has helped frame our understanding of the impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) [Bará, Lima, & Zamorano, 2019; Hänel et al., 2018; Zamorano et al., 2017]. All-sky imaging has been used to quantify and characterize ALAN in a variety of environments [D. M. Duriscoe, 2016; Jechow, Kyba, & Hölker, 2019]. Over the past decade growth in access to DIY electronics has afforded the opportunity for the development of new and affordable instrumentation for ALAN research. The GONet (Ground Observing Network) camera is an inexpensive (~USD 100), simple to use, all-sky imaging system designed to allow measurements of sky quality at night. Due to their ease of use and low price, GONet cameras allow observations by users with little technical expertise, large inter-comparison campaigns and deployments of opportunity. Developed as a student engineering project at the Adler Planetarium, initial field tests of the GONet system have demonstrated its utility as a tool that can benefit ALAN research. Here we present an overview of the design and use of the GONet device, methods of calibration, initial results from observations, potential use cases, and limitations of the system. What we describe here is the version 1 GONet camera. We conclude with a brief description of the version 2 unit already under development.
"Te kōwhiringa pōti Māori: Me rārangi Māori, me rārangi auraki rānei?" Exploring rangatahi Māori experiences of the Māori electoral option process: A mixed-method approach
Authors:   , Kearney-Parata Ruben
Published: May 2021

In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori voters have the option to sign up for one of two electoral rolls: the Māori roll or the general roll. This function of Indigenous political choice and representation occupies a unique place in Aotearoa New Zealand’s constitutional arrangements.

While the Māori electorates have been around for over 150 years, the number of seats have grown from only four to seven in the New Zealand House of Parliament. Electoral roll populations determine the number of seats in Parliament, and provide a sole line of accountability to Māori communities for elected representatives. The Māori Electoral Option, which provides voters the opportunity to change rolls, is only presented once every five years. In this thesis I identify three pervasive systemic barriers, as well as a number of other issues, present in the electoral roll option process.

This research contributes to the growing literature looking at rangatahi Māori experiences intersecting with identity, place, space and time. Through a Kaupapa Māori lens, this thesis uses interview findings and quantitative analysis to discuss the experiences of rangatahi navigating the Māori electoral roll choice. Here I explore the various influences and complexities which impact rangatahi Māori interaction with the electoral rolls as well as the broader socio-political landscape.
From closed to open. Democratising medical devices using additive manufacture and open source development and distribution systems.
Authors: Allen Callum
Published: May 2021

Pupils can provide important neurological information that can aid in the diagnosis of a range of conditions, including aneurysms, impending strokes and tumors in the lung (Gale, et al). In a research context, there is increasing interest in studying the intrinsically photosensitive Retinal Ganglion cells (ipRGC), which respond to intense blue light thanks to a photo pigment called melanopsin. Studying these cells could lead to a better understanding of sleep disorders and a range of optic nerve diseases. Although commercially available pupil testing devices do exist, all cost upwards of $10,000, and suffer from either poor portability or limitations in the tests they can perform. Specifically, the ipRGC require a specific intensity of blue light to be activated and measured, which most devices cannot produce.

In recent years, the open source movement has enabled users from around the world to freely collaborate on the development and distribution of their own products. At first, only software could be produced using this approach, however the continued improvement of 3D printing technology has enabled the same model to be applied to physical products as well. From a medical perspective, this is particularly exciting.

The aim of this research was to produce an inexpensive, open source pupilometer that runs on widely available components, can be distributed online and manufactured using 3D printing technology. In doing so, this thesis asks the question; How can an open source development and distribution model be used in conjunction with online 3D printing services and widely available parts and components to produce an inexpensive and open source pupilometer?

To answer this, a range of practice based methodologies, including research for design and research through design were used to explore this new potential. The resulting design proposal demonstrates how online file sharing platforms, in conjunction with distributed 3D printing services and online supply chains can be combined to develop new medical devices. The ability to collect pupil data using an open source pupilometer may lead to expanded data collection and diagnostic capabilities from doctors in a number of clinical settings, while a cloud based data collection system taking the form of a smartphone app will create a large biometric database and cooperative online research community.

This study investigates the nature of tourism site infrastructure and how it affects patronage in Calabar Metropolis, Cross River State. The specific objectives of the study are to assess the security level, availability of leisure aid, recreation facilities, quantity and quality of historical artifacts, location ambiance, skilled tour guides and their effect on visitor patronage. The study is supported by Qualitative and inferential research design methods to ascertain the predictability of tourist patronage. A sample of one hundred and twenty-five (125) respondents were systematically selected for the study and questionnaires administered. The multiple nonlinear regression test statistic was deployed for validating the hypotheses developed for the study. Results show that security level, leisure and recreation, historical artifact and requisite accommodation were statistically significant in impacting a positive/direct influence on visitor patronage, while location ambiance and skilled tour guides were not statistically significant. It concludes that changes in visitor patronage can be accounted for by changes in tourist site infrastructure, but that location ambiance and skilled tour guides are not sufficient pull-factors for visitor patronage in Calabar Metropolis. It recommends among other things, government and private sector involvement in archeological research, security facilities, affordable accommodation for activities and oppressive use of mass media in portraying the historical significance of the area.

Authors: Emina Kemi Anthony
Published: May 2021

In the present era, there is tremendous changes have taken place in beliefs and practices pertaining to the beginning of life. Family planning and birth control instead of being condemned are now accepted as a duty and responsibility. Now abortion is legal in certain circumstances, if abortion could be legal in certain circumstances, then why is there no euthanasia law for the people who have no hope of their life? All human beings have the fundamental right to live. However, there is always a dilemma involved in letting the suffering people die and killing the innocent patient under a false pretext. It can be argued that the issues involved in euthanasia have a significant implication for the individuals in society and to the policymakers. Many people pray that they will not outlive their usefulness and became a burden to their next kin, forcing them to spend large sums of money only to postpone inevitable. Euthanasia is a controversial topic and people are becomING increasingly aware of the issues attached to it. Evidence of this is the question and argument being orchestrated in a rising volume of publication seminars conferences, court decisions and legislative proposal. This work attempt to stimulate discussion and appropriate action in dealing with this present problem. This present work concentrates on the implications involved in the human rights to live especially in the field of medicine and also aims at expositing the issues of euthanasia from legal, social and ethical perspectives.

Published: May 2021

Humanity has been hit in recent times, by unusual mortality provoked by the emergence of COVID-19. A report of 21 March 2020 by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) confirmed 22 cases of the dreaded virus in the country. Desperate times they say require desperate measures. Facing the pandemic, the leadership of Nigeria has been more political than practical. Citizens resort to divers’ self-medication thus: Bathing with well-boiled Dogo Yaro leaves (Neem leaves); excessive consumption of bitter kola (Garcinia kola) or ginger (Zingiber) and the excessive consumption of alcohol. This study seeks to assess the level of preparedness by the Nigeria National Health System to combat the further spread of COVID-19 as apparently predicted in 1947 by Albert Camus in his work, The Plague. Our work further seeks to ascertain to what extent these self-aids have proven to be the effective panacea. It employs the conspiracy theory to argue that Nigerian leaders give priority to wealth accumulation over public health.

Artikulu honetan zein ereduko erlatibozko perpausen erabilera eta bilakabidea dugu aztergai, eta indar berezia egiten dugu erlatibozko izenordaina sistematikoki eta argumentuaren kasu-marka edozein izanda ere modu berean markatzen duten egiturak azaltzeko. Egitura ez-estandar hori ez da agertzen testu historiko kanonikoetan, baina XVII.-XIX. mendeen artean ohikoa da testu-genero jakin batzuetan: gutun pribatuetan, administrazio-agiri eta -gutunetan, eta notariotza-agirietan. Bada, soziolinguistika historikoaren ikuspuntu eta hatsarreak baliatuz, behin-behinean okertzat jo litezkeen erlatibozko egituren jatorria eta bilakabidea dugu aztergai: egitura ez-estandarraren erabilerak idazle eta idazlari elebidunen hizkuntza-ezagutzarekin lotu behar direla proposatzen dugu eta, are zehatzago, egitura formulaikoen erabilerarekin eta imitazio inperfektuarekin.
Educational offer of Pomeranian agritourist farms associated in the National Network of Educational Farms
Authors: Wiśniewska Anna
Published: May 2021

The aim of the study is to analyse the educational offer of Pomeranian voivodeship agritourism farms which joined the National Network of Educational Farms. The analysis covers the years 2011–2020. The survey involved 25 licensed entities (100%). Their wide offers include educational programmes aiming to teach about farmer’s life and work, the process of food production and acquisition, and the cultural heritage of the Polish rural areas and to promote the right attitudes towards nature and landscape protection. Educational activities are usually organised in the form of one-day group and workshop activities addressed to school children and adolescents. Thanks to that, the school education process is more varied and enriched with school curricula directed at hands-on activities, workshops in different school subjects, alternative venues of education and knowledge about rural culture. Farmers usually play the role of guides or sometimes they hire teachers to do the job. More and more often, people with disabilities and students of Third Age Universities use their services. The farms’ offers are very flexible and their scope and prices are adjusted to the demands, age and number of participants. The educational programmes differ depending on the season of the year.
Wyobraźnia religijna w Wieku nowym Krzysztofa D. Szatrawskiego
Authors: Chojnowski Zbigniew
Published: May 2021

Autor artykułu przedstawia religijne motywy w poezji. Odniesienia do sacrum służą do zdiagnozowania sytuacji duchowej i moralnej współczesnego świata, który znajduje się w fazie kulturowej katastrofy. Poeta przywołuje różne warstwy tradycji i konfrontuje je z cywilizacją. Wiersze świadczą o erozji wyobraźni religijnej i bezradności człowieka wobec postępującego duchowego samozniszczenia ludzkości.
Teatr szkolny – wartością dla szkoły. O roli teatru szkolnego na przykładzie Teatru Beznazwy z Zespołu Szkół Salezjańskich w Łodzi
Authors: Lach SDB Mariusz
Published: May 2021

Szkolne grupy teatralne są istotnymi elementami procesu dydaktyczno-wychowawczego. Teatr Beznazwy, działający od 2005 r. w Zespole Szkół Salezjańskich Łodzi, odgrywa istotną rolę wychowawczo-edukacyjną. W placówce tej działa kilka różnych grup – począwszy od pierwszych klas szkoły podstawowej, na maturzystach skończywszy. Dzięki aktywności artystycznej dzieci i młodzież poznają otaczający ich świat, rozwijają swoje pasje i zainteresowania, dzielą się z innymi (zwłaszcza swoimi rówieśnikami) własnymi obserwacjami rzeczywistości. Łódzki teatr jest również istotny dla działalności samej szkoły. Dzięki profesjonalnemu zaangażowaniu samych uczniów teatr ten jest rozpoznawalny w środowisku, przez co staje się dobrą wizytówką samej szkoły. Działania Teatru Beznazwy są dostrzegane nie tylko przez młodzież, ale także przez samą dyrekcję, która docenia wartość tychże zajęć teatralnych prowadzonych w szkole.
Trudne sąsiedztwo. O relacjach między polskimi a niemieckimi mieszkańcami Bydgoszczy na początku XX wieku (na podstawie „Dziennika Bydgoskiego” z 1908 r.)
Authors: Rypel Agnieszka
Published: May 2021

„Dziennik Bydgoski” to jedyna polska gazeta, która ukazywała się w Bydgoszczy na początku XX w., kiedy to miasto było silnie germanizowane. Celem gazety było podtrzymywanie tożsamości narodowej Polaków. Artykuł ten ukazuje, jak „Dziennik Bydgoski” kształtował wizerunek polskich i niemieckich mieszkańców miasta, a tym samym jak wpływał na ich wzajemne relacje. Gazeta oficjalnie podtrzymuje stereotyp złego Niemca i prześladowanego Polaka, ale jednocześnie ukazuje rzeczywiste więzi łączące reprezentantów obu narodów – wspólne doświadczenia kulturowe oraz styl życia.

Children in the category of people with special needs must, because they have the right, benefit from an educational approach that ensures their develop- ment and recovery, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, social integra- tion or reintegration under non-discriminatory conditions regarding capabili- ties, skills, abilities or personality.
The study aims to integrate knowledge, methods, forms and means specific to the field of motion science into activities that are meant to optimize health status, growth and physical development and the possibilities for their recovery and social integration of the children with special needs
The study took place in the on a group of 10 students and 26 teachers and physiotherapists. Methods that are part of the category of those specific to  the educational field were used, namely: scientific documentation, observa- tion, pedagogical experiment, opinion questionnaire, statistical-mathematical processing, graphic representation.
Considering the heterogeneity of the subjects, following the application of the physical exercise program and the tests of evaluation of the motricity, an appreciable progress is observed in 8 of them, which represents 80%; for the remaining 20%, the progress made does not change the status of people with a low level of motor ability, namely speed, strength and endurance.

В настоящее время на реке Шакардара примерно в 22 км к северо-западу от г. Кабул, Афганистан, ведется строительство плотины Шах-и-Арус. Ее высота и длина составляют 77,5 м и 303 м, соответственно, а объем водохранилища оценивается примерно в 9,38 млн м 3 . Данное многоцелевое сооружение возводится из роликового уплотненного бетона (RCC) и предназначено для хранения оросительной воды, сдерживания наводнений и выработки электроэнергии. Плотина располагается в тектонически активной зоне, чем обусловливается значительное воздействие на нее тектонических процессов. В настоящей статье представлены результаты сопоставления показателей нарушенности горных пород (Rock Quality Designation, RQD) и параметров Люжона, основанных на обзоре и анализе материалов первоначальных инженерно-геологических изысканий и дополнительных полевых наблюдений. Результаты значений Люжона и показателей RQD прошли статистически-графическую оценку, и далее данные полученных графиков были сопоставлены со всеми другими естественными условиями зоны строительства плотины. Полученные результаты указывают на то, что комплекс природных условий в определенной степени характеризуется взаимосвязью между значениями Люжона и параметрами RQD. Кроме этого, массив горных пород основания плотины был охарактеризован в соответствии с классификацией скальной породы RMR (Rock Mass Rating).

Sepsis is a major problem in neonatal care that has not been resolved. This condition is becoming one of major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates especially in developing countries. Neutrophil lymphocytes count ratio (NLCR) is a new marker of infection that is easy, rapid method and less expensive that can be done in limited health care facilities. A retrospective study with cross sectional design was conducted on 84 neonates with sepsis. The data was collected from medical records from April 2018 to September 2018 in Perinatology Division Sanglah hospital. ROC curve is was done to determine the value cut-off point, sensitivity and specificity of NLCR. With cut-off point of 2.31 NLCR has prevalence, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative pedictive value (NPV) of 26.1%, 81.8%, 66.1%, 46.1% and 91.1%. NLCR is potential to be used in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.
