Published: April 2023

Objective: The study's objectives were to evaluate the validity of the pipelle device in obtaining a suitable & representative endometrial sample by contrasting the histopathological outcomes of pipelle sampling with those from dilatation and curettage (D&C). Study design: An analytical cross-sectional study Place and Duration: This study was conducted at Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences Jamshoro from June 2021 to June 2022 Methodology: The study comprised 100 patients withabnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) who visited the obstetrics and gynecology department's outpatient clinic. Before a formal D&C, endometrial samples were taken from 100 patients using a pipelle device. The sample marked as sample A was obtained by inserting the Pipelle without conducting cervical dilatation and rotating it inside the uterus. The patients were then brought into the operating room for D&C, and the sample that was taken following D&C was designated as sample B Results: Pipelle sampling exhibited a 97% sensitivity,and a 100% specificity when compared to D&C sampling for obtaining an endometrial sample. With the exception of an endometrial polyp, which could not be detected by the pipelle sample, the Histopathology report’s diagnosis using the sample acquired from the pipelle showed very high sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. Conclusion: Pipelle endometrial biopsy is a risk-free method of obtaining an appropriate endometrial sample for histopathology. In terms of detecting endometrial abnormalities and endometrial cancer, it has high sensitivity and excellent specificity. An accurate diagnosis of endometrial cancer can be made using a Pipelle endometrial biopsy. Keywords: sampling, endometrial, abnormal uterine bleeding

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the anxiety and depression levels of healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors.

Material and Methods: The study group involved the doctors and nurses working in hospitals where COVID-19 patients were treated. An online questionnaire was used to assess the anxiety and depression levels and associated factors. The questionnaire consisted of a socio-demographic section, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).

Results: A total of 446 healthcare professionals participated in the study. The depression, state, and trait anxiety scores were clinically significant in 18.6%, 60.5%, and 69% of the participants, respectively. Being a woman, a nurse, prolonged exposure to COVID-19-related TV programs, and lack of physical exercise were associated with higher anxiety scores. We also observed that younger age and a history of mental illness prior to the pandemic increased the levels of depression and/or anxiety in healthcare professionals.

Conclusion: Healthcare professionals face with high risk for impairment in psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. The low rate of admissions for mental illnesses despite high rates of anxiety and depression symptoms in our study suggests that the psychological support needs of healthcare professionals should be taken into account during the pandemic.

Authors: ŞAHİN Zafer , KALKAN Ömer Faruk , AKTAS Osman , KALKAN Ahmet
Published: April 2023

All living organisms; from single-celled microorganisms to humans, they have to adapt to changing environmental conditions to maintain their survival processes. Circadian rhythm is one of the most important mechanism that associated with this adaptation processes. There are biological clocks in the body, which are related to the circadian rhythm and have a hierarchical organization. The master circadian clock is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of hypothalamus. SCN maintain body rhythms in synchronous with the light-dark cycle in the external environment. There are also peripheral oscillators that work in coordination with SCN. Neurological, endocrinological, and immunological functions in the body are under the influence of circadian and seasonal rhythms. Melatonin and cortisol (corticosterone in animals) are among the most important hormones that show circadian rhythm in the body. The body adapts to daily and seasonal changes with biological rhythms regulated by biological clocks. It is well known that the immune system is affected by the external environment. Changes in endocrine system, hypothalaomo-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis, and immune system are marked, especially depending on the seasonal changes. Therefore, the immune system has close relationship with the circadian rhythm. Understanding relationship between physiological regulation of the circadian rhythm, HPA axis and immune activity is important for to keep our body in healthy conditions and struggle with the diseases as well. In current review, the interaction and relationship of genes and proteins related to the circadian rhythm with HPA axis and immune system parameters are discussed with both physiological and pathological examples.

Short note on the genus Aspella Mörch, 1877 (Gastropoda: Muricidae) in the Tuscan Pliocene with description of Aspella tusciae n. sp.
Authors: Forli Maurizio , Cresti Massimo , Pagli Attilio
Published: April 2023

A new species of the genus Aspella Mörch, 1877 (Gastropoda: Muricidae), Aspella tusciae n. sp., is here described from the Pliocene of Tuscany, Italy, to indicate a species with paucispiral protoconch often reported as A. anceps (Lamarck, 1822) or A. emmae (Boettger, 1902) by authors dealing with Mediterranean Pliocene assemblages. The European Neogene congeners A. emmae (Boettger, 1902), A. subanceps (d’Orbigny, 1852) and A. pacaudi Goret, Ledon & Pons, 2013 are separated by their multispiral protoconch. The protoconch of A. sanfrae Novelli & Gambarino, 1984 is unknown, but it is separated from A. tusciae n. sp. based on teleoconch characters. We report for the first time A. pacaudi Goret, Ledon & Pons, 2013 for the Tuscan and Italian Pliocene. Separation of A. pacaudi from A. tusciae in the absence of their protoconch can be problematic. In the Tuscan Pliocene A. pacaudi is limited to the Zanclean and A. tusciae to the Piacenzian.

Safe water is an essential resource for the existence and sustenance of life. The unavailability of safe water is a significant cause of water-related diseases, especially in developing countries like Nigeria. A spike in the incidence of waterborne diseases has become a public health concern. Hence, this study was designed to evaluate the diversity of bacteria, resistance pattern and level of antibiotic resistance determinants associated with bacteria isolated from different water sources in South-West Nigeria. A total of 120 water samples were collected across South-Western Nigeria from which bacteria were isolated, and identification was achieved by sequencing its partial 16S rRNA. Disc diffusion and multiplex PCR were used to determine antibiotic susceptibility and resistance determinants. A total of 50 bacterial isolates were identified, consisting of Proteus spp. (2), Bacillus spp. (8), Enterobacter spp. (8), Klebsiella spp. (9), Escherichia coli (7), Citrobacter spp. (6), Pseudomonas spp. (4), and Serratia marcescens (6). All the isolates were resistant to ceftazidime, cefuroxime, cefixime and amoxicillin/clavulanate, whereas 72%, 60%, 54% and 44% were resistant to nitrofurantoin, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin respectively. Quinolone-resistant genes (qnrB, qnrA and qnrS), and tetracycline-resistant genes (tetA and tetB) were found in the isolates. The beta-lactamase gene and class 1 integron were also detected in the isolates, with the class 1 integron genes occurring the least. The results revealed that isolates were highly resistant to antibiotics used, as evident in the presence of antibiotic genes. This reveals the unsanitary states of water consumed by the general public, and the ingestion of these antibiotic-resistant bacteria is responsible for the birth of untreatable diseases.

Curcuma longa (tumeric) is listed in several therapeutic regimens used in the management of cancer. The present study investigated the potential cytotoxic effects of ethanol extract of Curcuma longa (turmeric) leaves on HepG2 (a human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line), and MCF-7 (a human mammary gland adenocarcinoma cell line) cells. The HepG2 and MCF-7 cells were exposed to different concentrations; 2, 0.2, 0.02, 0.002, 0.0002, 0.00002, 0.000002 μg/ml, of the ethanol extract of C. longa leaves. The Water-Soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-1) assay was used to estimate the cell viability of the cells after which the percentage proliferation was computed. The results of this study indicated that C. longa had cytotoxic effect on the different cell lines, caused a decrease in proliferation and it is more selective to breast cancer cell lines based on the results of WST-1 analysis on the HepG2 and MCF-7 cells. These results suggest that C. longa leaf possesses cytotoxic properties, which can be exploited to develop novel cytotoxic drugs for cancer management.

Authors: Hadi Pary
Published: April 2023

Emotional eating, hunger, and fast food addiction are global concerns extensively studied in recent years due to their implications on public health and well-being. This review aims to comprehensively understand the interconnections among these variables by synthesizing findings from worldwide studies. Emotional eating, characterized by consuming food in response to emotions, has been linked to obesity, poor dietary choices, and increased vulnerability to food addiction. Both physiological and perceived hunger significantly drive individuals towards highly palatable and energy-dense fast foods. Fast food addiction, an emerging concept in food addiction, is characterized by a persistent craving for and compulsive consumption of fast foods, often accompanied by negative health consequences. This review systematically examines global research and highlights the complex interplay between emotional eating, hunger, and fast food addiction. The findings underscore the importance of considering these factors in public health interventions and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to mitigate the impact of these phenomena on obesity rates and overall health. Furthermore, this review emphasizes the need for further research to develop tailored prevention and treatment strategies that address the unique challenges of emotional eating, hunger, and fast food addiction in various cultural and socioeconomic contexts.

Tujuan utama pendidikan agama Islam adalah mengubah akhlak mulia peserta didik. Maka permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana konsep adab mengkaji ilmu yang baik dalam perspektif Ibnu Jama'ah dalam kitab tadzkiratus sami' wal mutakallim fi adabil 'aalim wal muta'allim dan relevansinya dengan tujuan pendidikan Islam. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data pustaka, sedangkan teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis isi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsep adab santri menurut Ibnu Jama’ah dalam kitab Tadzkirah Al-Sami’ Wa Al-Mutakallim Fi Adab Al-’Alim Wa Almuta’allim masing-masing diklasifikasikan menjadi tiga jenis, diantaranya: adab siswa terhadap dirinya sendiri, adab siswa dalam belajar, dan adab siswa bergaul dengan pendidik. Dari beberapa adab tersebut diketahui bahwa seorang santri dalam menuntut ilmu harus memiliki niat yang ikhlas karena Allah SWT., Zuhud, Wara', Tawadhu', Qana'ah, Selalu sabar, Istiqomah, Muhasabah, Jiwa sosial yang tinggi, Saling menghargai dan menghormati, Kasih sayang, mengatur dan memanfaatkan waktu serta tidak malu/gengsi. Tujuan utama pendidikan agama Islam adalah mengubah akhlak mulia peserta didik. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa antara adab menuntut ilmu dalam kitab tadzkirah al-sami' wa al-mutakallim fi adab al-'alim wa almuta'allim dengan tujuan pendidikan Islam memiliki relevansi, dimana selain mempelajari suatu ilmu tetapi mengutamakan adab atau moral sangat penting bagi siswa.

Pengaruh Gaya Kepemimpinan terhadap Optimalisasi dan Stabilitas Kinerja Pegawai Pemasyarakatan
Authors: Bangun Hendra Arista , Subroto Mitro
Published: April 2023

Dalam menjalankan tugasnya, seorang pemimpin pastinya mengalami kendala dan hambatan, seperti masih ada saja berita negatif mengenai lembaga pemasyarakatan yang diterbitkan ke masyarakat. Seperti terselip saja informasi mengenai penyebaran narkoba di dalam lapas, masuknya smartphone ke dalam lapas, narapidana yang mengatur penyebaran narkoba dari dalam lapas, dan lainnya. Serta terdapat saja informasi perihal petugas yang membantu memasukkan narkoba ke dalam lapas, perihal itu bisa jadi disebabkan minimnya integritas serta tidak ditanamkannya motivasi guna memajukan pemasyarakatan bersama.Kesuksesan lembaga pada dasarnya ditopang oleh kepemimpinan yang efisien, dimana dengan gaya kepemimpinannya itu bisa pengaruhi bawahannya guna membangkitkan antusias kegiatan mereka supaya sanggup menghasilkan kemampuan yang diharapkan oleh lembaga, Seorang pemimpin wajib mempunyai bermacam macam kompetensi yang pastinya perihal itu bisa jadi gagasan ataupun referensi untuk pengikutnya seperti komunikasi interpersonal, public speaking, pemberian motivasi, nurturing, persuasif dan lain-lain. Beberapa kompetensi tersebut identik dengan gaya kepemimpinan transformasional yang mampu mengajari dan mengayomi karyawannya (individualized consideration), menyelesaikan masalah dengan berbagai macam perspektif (intellectual stimulation), dan seterusnya.

OKUL YÖNETİCİLERİNİN GÜÇ KULLANMA BİÇİMLERİ İLE ÖĞRETMENLERİN MUHALEFET ETME DURUMLARI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ
Authors: ŞEKER Mustafa , KESGİN Erdal
Published: April 2023

Araştırma ile okul yöneticilerinin güç kullanma biçimleri ile öğretmenlerin muhalefet etme durumları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Orantısız küme örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenen 430 öğretmen araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Veriler “Okullarda Örgütsel Güç Ölçeği” (OÖGÖ) ve “Örgütsel Muhalefet Ölçeği” (ÖMÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre okul yöneticilerinin en çok yasal gücü en az ise zorlayıcı gücü kullandıkları; öğretmenlerin ise dikey muhalefeti yatay muhalefete göre daha çok tercih ettikleri saptanmıştır. OÖGÖ alt boyutları içinde “ödül gücü” dışında hiçbirinde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir farklılık meydana gelmemiştir. Sadece erkek öğretmenlerin “ödül gücü”nü algılamaları, kadın öğretmenlerden daha yüksek düzeydedir. Medeni durum, görev yapılan kurum, branş ve mesleki kıdem değişkenlerine göre OÖGÖ alt boyutları içinde hiçbirinde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir farklılık meydana gelmemiştir. Cinsiyet değişkenine göre, erkek öğretmenlerin genel örgütsel muhalefet algılamaları, kadın öğretmenlerden daha yüksek düzeydedir. Medeni durum değişkenine göre, evli ve bekar öğretmenlerin algıladıkları örgütsel muhalefet özellikleri birbirine eşittir. Görev yapılan kurum değişkenine göre, ilkokullarda görev yapan öğretmenlerin kendilerinde algıladığı genel örgütsel muhalefet özelliği, ortaokullarda görev yapan öğretmenlerden daha yüksek düzeydedir. Branş değişkenine göre, sınıf öğretmenlerinin kendilerinde algıladığı genel örgütsel muhalefet özelliği, branş öğretmenlerden daha yüksek düzeydedir. Mesleki kıdem durumu değişkenine göre, öğretmenlerin kıdem yılları değiştikçe, buna bağlı olarak örgütsel muhalefet davranışlarını algılamaları farklılaşmamaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda “ödül gücü” ve “zorlayıcı güç” boyut puanlarının “dikey muhalefet”; “karizma gücü” boyut puanlarının ise “yatay muhalefet” toplam puan değişkeni üzerinde anlamlı bir yordayıcı olduğu görülmüştür.
