Authors: Abokhozayem Salma A.A.N. , Mohammed Hosnia A. , Osama Sally M.
Published: September 2022

Background and aim

Noninvasive radiological techniques such as dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can help distinguish between malignant and benign lesions of the breast. The current study was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic values of DCE-MRI and DWI in differentiation between benign and malignant breast lesions.

Patients and methods

This study was conducted on 30 patients with 32 lesions during the period from June 2019 to May 2020 at the Radiology Department and approved by the Ethics Committee. DCE-MRI and DWI were acquired for each patient using a 1.5 T machine with breast coils. Histopathological results were collected as a gold standard of the study.

Results

Of 32 lesions, histopathology revealed that 22 (68.75%) lesions were malignant and 10 (31.25%) lesions were benign. Mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of benign lesions was 1.25±0.56×10−3 mm2/s, which was significantly higher than those of malignant lesions (0.93±0.42×10−3 mm2/s). DWI-MRI had high sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions (90.9, 70, 86.96, 77.78, and 84.38%, respectively). However, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of DCE-MRI were 95.5, 80, 91.3, 88.9, and 90.6%, respectively.

Conclusion

Compared with DWI, DCE-MRI has a higher sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions of the breast. Diffusion-weighted MRI provides quantitative assessment of benign and malignant lesions of the breast by measuring the ADC values.

Published: September 2022

Objective:

To observe the changes in corneal endothelium post COVID-19 infection in different age groups using specular microscopy and compare it with the normal population in western India during the pandemic.

Materials and Method:

129 patients COVID-19 recovered, and 123 age-matched healthy controls were included in this cross sectional, comparative, monocentric study. Corneal endothelial parameters like Cell Density (CD) (cell/mm2), Coefficient of Variation (CV) (polymegathism, %), Cell hexagonality (polymorphism, %), Average cell area (MCA) (μm2/cell), and mean value of Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) (μm) were evaluated with a non-contact specular microscope (TOMEY EM-4000, CBD.TOMEY USA)

Results:

The mean (SD) time since COVID diagnosis (months) in the study group was 6.67 (1.94). The mean (SD) time since RT-PCR negative (months) in the study group was 6.34 (1.74). The mean (SD) of CV (%) in the study group was (RE) 37.75 (6.03), (LE) 36.25 (4.66) and in control group was (RE) 35.23 (3.75), (LE) 34.77 (3.64). The mean (SD) of hexagonality (%) in the study group was (RE) 47.33 (6.84), 48.45 (7.33) and in control group was (RE):56.73 (4.13), (LE) 56.21 (5.34).

Conclusion:

The specular microscopic examination on the COVID-19 recovered patients revealed a decrease in the hexagonality of the endothelial cells (pleomorphism) and an increase in the cell size (polymegathism). Specular microscopic examination can be done to assess such earliest changes in corneal endothelium to evaluate the effects of the infection following recovery on ocular tissue to avoid long term sequalae.
An overview of microbiological profile in chronic microbial keratitis at a tertiary care center
Authors: Gupta Manisha , Gupta Priyanka , Panwar Juhi
Published: September 2022

Aims:

Clinical feature and microbiological investigation help in reaching the diagnosis in cases of microbial keratitis. But in cases where a patient is already on polytopical therapy, clinical features are altered so dependency on microbiological investigation is more by the time cases reached to the referred hospital. The present study aimed to overview the profile of microbial investigation in microbial corneal ulcer cases that were already on polytherapy referred to the ophthalmic department of tertiary care center.

Materials and Methods:

This is a retrospective hospital record-based study where microbiological reports of 58 infective keratitis cases of moderate-to-severe nature were analyzed. Statistical analysis was calculated with confidence intervals (CIs) using “Medcalc” statistical software online.

Results:

Following are the results of the study: 52% patients were males; 18.97% cases were positive for Gram stain. Aerobic culture was positive in 10.34%; potassium hydroxide (KOH) mount was positive in 9.62% cases; sabouraud dextrose agar culture was positive in 7.69% cases. Sensitivity of Gram stain was 33.3% (95% CI: 4.33%–77.72%), whereas specificity was 82.7% (95% CI: 69.67%–91.77%); positive predictive value (PPV) was 18.18% (95% CI: 2.28%–51.78%) and negative predictive value (NPV) was 91.49% (95% CI: 79.62%–97.63%). Sensitivity of KOH mount was 25% (95% CI: 0.63%–80.59%), whereas specificity was 91.67% (95% CI: 80.02%–97.68%); PPV was 20.20% (95% CI: 0.51%–71.64%) and NPV was 93.62% (95% CI: 82.46%–98.66%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were the most common bacterial isolates.

Conclusions:

Basic microbiological investigations have a low yield in chronic infectious keratitis cases that are on prior cocktail long-term therapy. Therefore, advanced tests such as polymerase chain reaction, confocal microscopy, and corneal biopsy may be helpful in managing such challenging cases.

Published: September 2022

PurposeThis study aimed to elucidate the trends and characteristics of the cancer burden in Korea by cancer site, region, and income level. Materials and MethodsKorean National Burden of Disease research methodology was applied to measure the cancer burden in Korea from 2008 to 2018. The cause of death and national health insurance claims data were obtained from Statistics Korea and the National Health Insurance Service, respectively. An incidence-based approach was applied to calculate the disability-adjusted life-years, which is a summary measure of population health.ResultsIn the past decade, the cancer burden in Korea increased from 2,088 to 2,457 person-years per 100,000 population. Among the cancer burden, the years of life lost decreased, and the years lived with disabilities increased. Cancers of the trachea, bronchus, and lung had the highest disease burden, followed by those of the stomach, colon and rectum, liver, and breast.ConclusionThe findings of this study can provide valuable quantitative data for prioritizing and evaluating cancer prevention strategies and implementing cancer policies. Estimating the difference in cancer burden according to region and income level within a country can yield useful data to understand the nature of the cancer burden and scale of the problem. In addition, the results of this study provide a better understanding of the causes of cancer patterns, thereby generating new hypotheses regarding its pathogenesis.

Authors: Hu Sipin , Lou Zhengqing , Shen Yuchen , Tu Mengyun
Published: September 2022

Snakebite is a common occurrence in Hangzhou, and identifying bacteria in wounds is very important for snakebite treatment. To define the pattern of wound bacterial flora of venomous snakebites and their susceptibility to common antibiotics, we reviewed the medical charts of patients admitted with snakebite at Hangzhou TCM Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020. A total of 311 patients were enrolled in this study. Among them, bacteria culture was positive in 40 patients, and 80 organisms were isolated. The most frequent pathogens were Morganella morganii and Staphylococcus aureus. According to the results of susceptibility testing, a majority of the isolates were resistant to some common first-line antibiotics, such as ampicillin, ampicillin/sulbactam, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cefoxitin, and cephazolin. Quinolones, however, have shown a better antibacterial effect. In conclusion, snakebite wounds involve a wide range of bacteria. Fluoroquinolones, such as levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin, could be an alternative for empirical treatment in patients with snakebite when the effect of other antibiotics is poor.
Malaria Control, Elimination, and Prevention as Components of Health Security: A Review
Authors: Perera Ruwanthi , Wickremasinghe Rajitha , Newby Gretchen , Caldera Amandhi , Fernando Deepika , Mendis Kamini
Published: September 2022

International travel, a major risk factor for imported malaria, has emerged as an important challenge in sustaining malaria elimination and prevention of its reestablishment. To make travel and trade safe, the WHO adopted the International Health Regulations (IHR) which provides a legal framework for the prevention, detection, and containment of public health risks at source. We conducted a systematic review to assess the relevance and the extent of implementation of IHR practices that can play a role in reducing malaria transmission. Selected studies addressed control, elimination, and prevention of reestablishment of malaria. Study themes focused on appraisal of surveillance and response, updating national policies to facilitate malaria control and elimination, travel as a risk factor for malaria and risk mitigation methods, vector control, transfusion malaria, competing interests, malaria in border areas, and other challenges posed by emerging communicable diseases on malaria control and elimination efforts. Review results indicate that malaria has not been prioritized as part of the IHR nor has the IHR focused on vector-borne diseases such as malaria. The IHR framework in its current format can be applied to malaria and other vector-borne diseases to strengthen surveillance and response, overcome challenges at borders, and improve data sharing—especially among countries moving toward elimination—but additional guidelines are required. Application of the IHR in countries in the malaria control phase may not be effective until the disease burden is brought down to elimination levels. Considering existing global elimination goals, the application of IHR for malaria should be urgently reviewed and included as part of the IHR.

Abstract  

In practice, the marriage agreement deed made by a notary can be cancelled by the court. The cancellation causes losses for the party who made it. So it becomes a problem how the notary's responsibility for the cancellation of the marriage agreement deed made in the form of a notary deed carried out by the court. This study aims to analyse the notary's responsibility for cancelling the marriage agreement deed made by the court. The research method used is normative juridical research using a statutory approach and a case approach. The results showed that the notary's responsibility for the marriage agreement deed was cancelled by the court's decision, especially in case number 598 PK/PDT/2016, providing information because the case was included in the administrative area.Furthermore, in the Law on Notary Positions, the notary's responsibility to the deed he makes is that the notary's responsibility is charged to his position. So the result is that the marriage agreement in case Number 598 PK/PDT/2016 is null and void because it does not meet the requirements in Article 29 paragraph (1) of the Marriage Law Article 147 of the Civil Code, namely the marriage agreement, must be made before or when the marriage takes place and is made in a notary deed and ratified by the marriage registrar. Concerning the cancellation of the marriage agreement, it returns to its original state as did not occur in the previous agreement, namely the merger of assets during the marriage and its distribution. Notaries, as public officials, can be held accountable for authentic deeds, resulting in null and void that they make based on the distribution of responsibilities. In this case, the notary's responsibility is borne by the position.

Published: September 2022

The emergence of social media platforms has overturned traditional modes of interpersonal communication, access to information and personal lifestyles, challenging traditional concepts of interpersonal communication and social communication. It has had a significant impact on the thinking and behaviour of older people, as well as promoting the creation of new modes of social communication and social interaction. Although older people are not the mainstream social media users, with the advent of an ageing society, social media has penetrated the older population, and the rate of social media use among older people has increased significantly especially in China. WeChat, as one of the most commonly used social media, has become the leading choice for people to communicate with each other online. The emergence of WeChat has brought together traditional communication and new Internet technologies. This paper takes WeChat as an object of study and examines the motivation of older people to use WeChat based on the theory of uses and gratification. The study finds that the motivations of older people for using WeChat can be divided into four categories: expressing concern, strengthening contact, obtaining and sharing information, and presenting oneself.
