Published: February 2020

Art and cultural products in Deli Serdang Regency, Batubara Regency, and Tanjung Balai City are inseparable from the Malay kingdom sites that were established at the time. The Malay kingdom was led by the sultan, usually marked by the establishment of the palace as a sign of the grandeur and sovereignty of the king and all his relatives, which then made the palace a place to live, consult, and decide on an event. In addition to the splendor of the palace, various arts and cultural products that became symbols of local wisdom became part of his time, but nowadays various art and cultural products are considered to have no maximum implementation and distribution to the younger generation as holders of cultural relay batons. So that these products are not extinct, they need the attention of the entire community, government, and stakeholders. One way to bring it back is to revitalize it by developing it into a tourist dish. This study aims to: Know the condition of art and culture, cultural potential, in the three regions of the Malay sultanate, and the efforts of the government, artists in revitalizing the potential of art and culture. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection in the form of, mapping, interviews, and observations. The results of the study explained that each of Serdang, Batubara, and Tanjungbalai Sultanates had potentials that could characterize their regions, there were: Serdang Sultanate with Makyong arts, Tanjungbalai Sultanate with Gubang arts, and Batubara Sultanate had the story and Lima Laras palace. These three potentials can be developed into cultural tourism attractions in the region and North Sumatra. This requires the creativity of artists in developing them from every aspect. Government intervention also becomes necessary in sustaining the existence of cultural arts by making policies that sustain the art and culture.

Published: February 2020

Focusing on the study of historical artifacts of art found in the Aceh Coastal region, this study seeks to analyze ornamental diversity as an aesthetic phenomenon that has a meaningful relationship with 1. Continuation of history, 2. Links in the search for cultural identity, and 3 Balancing cultural values in Acehnese society . Throughout history, the art of embroidering gold threads, woven silk fabrics, stabbing weapons, jewelry art, and wood carvings have been the hallmark of Aceh beach crafts that in their development consistently used their identity motifs. The intended identity motif is a motif that shows the cosmopolitanism of Aceh regarding pre-Islamic cultural influences and influences originating from friendly countries. The diplomatic relations which brought the influence of Persia and the Moghul dynasty from India occurred at the golden peak of Aceh's art history, especially during the times of Iskandar Muda and Iskandar Thani, although in the end, the clearest artistic trend emerged, namely all Islam. Aceh's design patterns in a stylish form become geometric shapes. The characteristic of decoration in the coastal communities of Aceh is influenced by Arabic concepts, is the development of a sense of beauty that is free from natural myths and is done by developing abstract patterns taken from floral motifs, foliage shaped and polygon shapes as a process of balancing cultural values.

Published: February 2020

Recently using information technology in the health care system is an important issue. Medical informatics is the combination of information science, computer science, and health care. As population is increasing rapidly, it is obvious to use medical informatics to save human lives and to treat people in efficient way. Therefore, we tried to explore an overview of the necessities and practical uses of data mining in administrative, clinical, research as well as educational aspects of medical informatics in Bangladesh. It is one the most populous countries in the world and the health care system including data mining in medical informatics is not so handy. Besides, for the effect of monsoon weather people of this country are affected by various diseases but poor investment and weak implementation make these diseases a burden. The study focuses on the needs of clinical data warehousing and the practice of examining these databases in order to improve various aspects of medical informatics in Bangladesh. The study suggests that government and private health care organizations need to take account to store their data and create a research wing in every hospital in Bangladesh as well as other developing countries in the world so that researchers and doctors may be able to find out the solution of their problems. For the greater benefits of the people, more research on medical informatics is essential and implementation of the research outputs must be done in medical treatment.

Published: February 2020

Awareness of common eye diseases and their early detection can play a vital role in encouraging people to seek timely eye care and therefore help in reducing the burden of visual impairment. This study was designed to reveal the assessment of awareness of eye diseases among the population of Bangladesh in different locations. For this, a total of 750 respondents were selected by convenient sampling and were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. From this study, we found that only 50% of the respondents were aware of glaucoma and only 35% had knowledge about glaucoma. About 52% of the study population was aware of cataract and 19% of them had knowledge that the risk of cataract increases by getting older. About 38% of the participants had an understanding of night blindness. Diabetes can lead to eye diseases and this was known to 40% of the study population. Only 23% of the respondents were concern about their family’s present eye health condition. Frequency of taking nutritional food for optimum health was very poor. Daily nutritional foods were taken by 17% of the participants. About 36% of study subjects maintained their blood pressure and obesity. From our survey results, it can be implied that the level of awareness and knowledge about common eye diseases among the population of Bangladesh was not satisfactory. Highlighting importance to the tertiary eye care, imposing health education and raising awareness will assist to understand the importance of routine eye examination for early detection and treatment of such conditions.

Specimens were collected in the form of wound swabs. The prospective study showed that one third of the patients below 10 years old belong the highest burn infections. The rate of burn infections was higher (61.67%) in female compared to male patients. Respondents under primary level were the major victims (28.33%). On the basis of occupational status, student showed the highest (30%) infection. Maximum (48.33%) patients were injured by first degree burn. Hot liquids (scald) was found as one of the main causes of burn which was 50% prevalent. Forensic background explained maximum burn injuries were accidental (88.34%). Most of the children were the main victims during playing (36.67%) followed by working persons (25%). Pseudomonas spp (73%) was found to be the most common isolated microorganisms followed by Klebsiella spp (6.67%), Staphylococcus aureus (6.67%), Escherichia coli (6.67%), Proteus spp (5%) and Enterobacter (1. 6%). Some medical devices like floor, bed, water etc. were detected as positive sources of organisms. By antibiotic susceptibility tests it was found that Pseudomonas are resistant to ceftriaxone (100%) followed by ceftazidime (93%) and sensitive to colistin (90%). In the case of Staphylococcus aureus, 100% are resistant to amoxyclave and 100% are sensitive to ciprofloxacin.

Published: February 2020

The objective of the current paper is to study the flow around Seiun Maru Highly Skewed (HSP) marine propeller by assessment of blade forces and moments under non-cavitating case. The calculations are performed in open water (steady case) and non-uniform ship wake (Unsteady case). The governing equations based on Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes Equation (RANSE) are solved using Finite Volume Method. Ansys Fluent 14.0 is used to implement the simulation. For the steady case, Moving Reference Frame (MRF) is selected while sliding mesh technique is adopted for the unsteady case. Calculated open water performances in terms of thrust and torque coefficients fit very well with experimental data for a wide range of advance ratio. In the unsteady calculations, axial velocities, deduced from the nominal wake, are introduced in the Ansys fluent code. To locate suitably the non-uniform wake in the propeller front plane, three positions of inlet wake have been taken into account to determine their effects on the accuracy of the results. Obtained results show that computed performances are improved compared to panel method when the inlet is close to the propeller.

Authors: Islam M R , Rahaman M M , Kumar A
Published: February 2020

The production and consumption of oil and other petroleum products have been increasing rapidly over the years, which led to the scarcity of easily retrieved oil due to urbanization. As a result, oil producers are motivated to go to deeper ocean to extract oil and other resources.Offshore platforms in deep water like TLPs are used for exploration of oil and gas from under Seabed and processing. But it is challenging to design precisely such type of giant structure in deep sea as it experiences huge forces, motion and other environmental loads which are non-linear, need sophisticated solution techniques and expensive to apply. In the present study wave exciting forces and motions of free floating TLP are carried out in frequency domain analysis using three dimensional source distribution techniques within the scope of linear wave theory where six degrees of freedom have been considered. The same geometrical data are used as an input to HydroStar, which is based on linear wave theory. Results obtained from both the programs are compared which shows a good agreement and also validated with the published results. Comparison of heave motion with and without tether are illustrated where it can be easily understood the effect of tendon. Forces and motions prediction of TLP is emphasized which has been done precisely in the present work and in future it will help us to design the TLPs as well as the tendon system in deep sea. Finally, a number of recommendations have been made for further research based on the present study.

Crossed testicular ectopia (CTE) is an extremely rare anomaly in which deviation of testicular descent results in unilateral location of both testes. It usually presents as an inguinal hernia on the side of a fully descended testis and an impalpable testis with undeveloped hemiscrotum on the contralateral side. Most often the diagnosis of CTE is not made until surgical exploration. Few reports are available regarding CTE in infants or younger children. Though the patients of CTE usually present at a younger age, we report a case of crossed testicular ectopia in a 65-year-old male who was admitted in the department of surgery, Shaheed Suhrawardi Medical College Hospital (ShSMCH) with right sided inguinal hernia.

Published: February 2020

Background: Renal calculi are common approximately 50% of patient between the ages of 30and 50 years. The development of endourological and extracorporeal lithotripsy techniques ledto an increasing number of options for the management of renal calculi.

Objective: To define factors those have a significant impact on the success rate after extracorporealshock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for treatment of renal stones.

Materials and Methods: Between April 2008 & December 2008, 64 patients with single ormultiple radiopaque renal stones (::s;30mm) were treated with ESWL monotherapy using StortzModulith SLX-F2 lithotriptor.The results of treatment were evaluated after 3 months of followupTreatment success was defined as complete clearance of the stones or presence ofclinically insignificant residual fragments (::s;4mm).The results of treatment were correlated withthe patient characteristics (age, sex, body mass index) and stone features (size, site, nature &radio density).

Results: At 3-months follow-up, the overall success rate is 76%. Among them, repeated ESWLsessions are required in 19 patients (53.9%). Post-ESWL complications are recorded in 8patients (12.5%). Using the x2 test, only three factors have a significant impact on the successrate, namely: stone site, size (the largest diameter of the stone), stone number & BMI (BodyMass Index). The success rate is highest for stones located in the upper calyx (15/15; 100%)and lowest for those located in the lower calyx (10/16; 62.5%) (p=.005). Stones with a largestdiameter ot s 15mm are associated with a success rate of 90.2% (37 /41), compared to 52.2%(12/23) for those with a diameter of >15mm (p=.001). The success rate is also higher forsingle stone (46/56; 82%) than multiple stones (3/8; 37.5%) (p=0.005).Patients with lowerBMI (<24) have a better success than higher BMI (>25) (p=0.01)

Conclusion: The success rate of ESWL for the treatment of renal stones can be predicted bystone size, location, number and patient BMI.

Published: February 2020

Oncological outcomes of sphincter-saving resection (SSR) and sphincter losing abdominoperineal resection (APR) in 210 consecutive patients with very low-lying rectal cancer (i.e. lower margin of tumor is within 3.5 cm from the anal verge) were studied and compared. 54 (25.71%) patients underwent SSR and 156 (74.28%) patients underwent SLR-APR. The APR group comprised higher proportions of men (61.53% vs 55.5%, P =.049) and advanced-stage disease (P <.001). Preoperative chemoradiotherapy (PCRT) was administered in both the group with almost similar distribution (62.82 % vs 59.25%, P <.001). Overall, (the systemic and local) recurrence rates were almost similar i.e. 33.31% in SSR and 33.32% in APR. On stratification according to PCRT and pathologic stage, the mode of surgery did not affect the recurrence type. Moreover, recurrence-free survival (RFS) did not differ according to the mode of surgery in different cancer stages. Patients who were stratified according to cancer stage and PCRT also showed no differences in RFS according to the mode of surgery. The results of the study demonstrate that, regardless of PCRT administration, SSR is an effective treatment for very low rectal cancer.

Background: Tuberculosis is a highly infectious disease and has the highest burden with it. Diagnosis of tuberculosis in many countries is still dependent on microscopy. For developing countries with a large number of cases and financial constraints, evaluation of rapid and inexpensive diagnostic methods has great importance. Culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MtbC) is the accepted reference standard for confirmation of TB infection and is necessary for drug susceptibility testing (DST). There are several methods for culturing MtbC using solid and liquid media. Although solid media has been used for over 100 years, liquid culture media is increasingly being introduced in low and middle income countries (LMIC).

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare the efficacy of solid culture and liquid culture in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Methodology: This cross sectional study was done in the Department of Microbiology at Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka and National Institute of Chest Disease & Hospital (NIDCH), Dhaka during the period of January 2016 to December 2016 for a period of 1(one) year. Sputum samples from suspected MDR-TB patients were collected by purposive sampling technique from OPD of Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC) and NIDCH. Microscopy, liquid culture in liquid MGIT 960 media were done for MTB diagnosis.

Result: This study shows the comparison of results of microscopic examination of solid culture and liquid culture (MGIT 960). The liquid MGIT 960 method detected more positive samples than solid culture 68% vs 67%. The mean turnaround time of detection (TTD) of MTB was 34.3±5.2 days for Lowenstein-Jensen media and 17.5±3.8 days for MGIT 960 (p value <0.05). So, liquid culture gave earlier result than solid culture.

Conclusion: Liquid culture more positive result than solid culture under microscope in smear of sputum and also liquid culture gave earlier result than solid culture.

Trigeminal Neuralgia: Role of Interventional Pain Physician
Authors: Karmakar Chandra Shekhar , Rahman Md Lutfor , Islam Md Shahidul , Molla Atidh Muhammad , Islam Monirul , Karim Mohammad Rezaul
Published: February 2020

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) or tic douloureux is one of the commonest cause of fascial pain after 50 years of age. It is characterized by recurrent, episodic, lancinating pain over the distribution of trigeminal nerve. There is a lack of certainty regarding the aetiology and pathophysiology of TN. Evidence suggests that the likely etiology is vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve leading to focal demyelination and aberrant neural discharge. Secondary causes such as multiple sclerosis or brain tumors can also produce symptomatic TN. The treatment of TN can be very challenging despite the numerous options patients and physicians can choose from. This multitude of treatment options poses the question as to which treatment fits which patient best. For patients refractory to medical therapy, Gasserian ganglion percutaneous techniques, gamma knife surgery and microvascular decompression are the most promising invasive treatment options. Among them three common interventions commonly carried out by interventional pain physician to provide pain relief are balloon compression, Glycerol rhizolysis and RF rhizotomy.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Male breast malignancy is a relatively rare condition among all the malignancies. It accounts for 0.2% of all malignant cases & less than 1% of all breast cancer.

Methods and Materials: A retrospective observational study was done among the male patients with breast malignancy, admitted in Surgery ward in Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh from January 2014 to December, 2018.

Results: Our series includes 09 patients. The mean age of the patient was 60 years. Most of the patients complaint breast lump with some degrees of skin colour changes. One has previous history of breast surgery (lumpectomy). Eight (8) patients went under simple mastectomy with axillary clearance after tissue diagnosis. One (1) patient got neo- adjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. Specimen was sent for histopathological & receptor study. Among them Infiltrating was ductal carcinoma was found in 07 cases, Sarcoma was in 01 (one) case & papillary carcinoma in 01 (one) case with 66.6 % positive oestrogen and progesterone receptor activity.

Conclusion: Surgeons should be kept in mind that male breast malignancy is not uncommon and all male breast lumps should be evaluated properly before surgery.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Diagnostic laparoscopy offers an excellent means through direct visualization to elucidate the hidden pathology in the absence of clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of a cause of infertility. But postoperative pain management remains a major challenge after laparoscopic surgeries. Approximately one half of all surgical procedures, postoperative pain is inadequately treated.

Aim: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted with an objective to evaluate the post-operative analgesic efficacy of intraperitoneal and incitional bupivacaine infiltration at the end of diagnostic laparoscopy in infertile women

Methods: 40 infertile women, enrolled for diagnostic laparoscopy were divided randomly into two groups. Group A received intraperitoneal bupivacaine (0.25%) 10 ml and incisional infiltration of NS 10 ml, Group B received intraperitoneal bupivacaine 10 ml and incisional infiltration of bupivacain 10 ml. In postoperative period, Visual Analogue Score (VAS) was recorded up to 24 hours. Postoperative analgesic requirements, and side effects were recorded.

Results: The Visual Analogue Score (VAS) during the first postoperative 24 hours was significantly lower in group B compared to group A. Time to first analgesia required was delayed and total analgesic consumption was lower in group B which was statistically significant.

Conclusions: It is concluded that combined intraperitoneal instillation and incision site infiltration of bupivacaine in diagnostic laparoscopy may significantly reduce the postoperative pain and analgesic requirement.

Functional Status of Maternal Thyroid Gland in Eclampsia
Authors: Rahman M Hafizur , Chowdhury Mahbub Ara , Mahmuda Shahin
Published: February 2020

Marked changes in maternal thyroid activity occur in pregnancy. During pregnancy bodily hormonal changes and metabolic demands result in complex alteration in the bio-chemical parameters of thyroid activities. Besides these, thyroid enlargement, increased thyroid capability for iodine uptake and increase in basal metabolic rate are evidential though these findings are not usually associated with symptoms of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy. Serum concentration of thyroid hormone thyroxine and triiodothyronine in complicated pregnancy like eclamptic toxemia is another field of controversy. To evaluate the changes in thyroid function in normal pregnancy and eclamptic toxemia, a study was undertaken in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital. We collected serum specimens from non pregnant but married women, normal 3rd trimester pregnant women and patients with eclampsia at 3rd trimester of pregnancy and measured serum concentrations of total and free thyroxine (TT4 & FT4) and total and free triiodothyronine (TT3 & FT3 ) by using RIA. Among the study subjects, 10 women were married but non pregnant, 12 women were in their 3rd trimester of normal pregnancy and 32 patients of eclamptic toxemia with 3rd trimester of pregnancy. In normal pregnancy, FT4 and FT3 levels remained normal while TT4 and TT3 levels were elevated. In patients with toxemia of pregnancy, the mean serum TT3 concentration was significantly lower than that of normal pregnancy and the serum FT3 concentrations were below the normal pregnancy range. The mean serum TT4 and FT4 concentrations in patients with eclampsia were however, significantly higher than those in normal pregnant women.
