Effect of Cerebral Infarction on the Risk of Synchronous Brain Metastasis: Analysis of 307 Consecutive Patients of Newly Diagnosed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Authors: Zhang Haijun , Zhou Dandan , Zhang Haijun , Zhang Hongming , Xu Wenwen
Published: May 2020

Background: Brain metastasis (BM) is a common complication of patients with non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) and associated with a poor prognosis. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of cerebral infarction
(CI) on the risk of BM in NSCLC for preventive therapy strategy.
Methods: 307 patients with newly diagnosed NSCLC in Zhongda Hospital, Medical School of Southeast
University from July 2013 to July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Depending on magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), the patients were divided into the BM group and the control group (without BM). Then, the
prevalence of CI and baseline clinicopathological parameters were evaluated and compared between the
two groups.
Results: Out of the 307 patients, 204 patients (66.4%) had CI, and 52 patients (16.9%) had BM. Especially,
the prevalence of CI in the NSCLC patients with BM was 84.6%, which was significantly higher than that
of 62.7% in the NSCLC patients without BM (p = 0.002). Following univariate logistic regression analysis
and the multivariate model, the results demonstrated that CI was a significant independent risk factor for
BM in NSCLC (odds rate [OR], 2.921; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.242-6.873; p = 0.014). Moreover,
CI contributed to a worse prognosis in NSCLC patients with BM. Finally, dynamical trace confirmed CI
could promote BM in NSCLC patients.
Conclusions: CI could be associated with a metastatic tropism to the brain and then with an increased risk
of BM in NSCLC patients. Therefore, the targeted intervention of the metastatic niche of CI could offer a
promising approach for the prevention, prognostic evaluation, and therapy of BM in NSCLC patients for
better clinical outcomes.

Authors: Kanagasundram Sharmilla , Damodaran Ishwary , Pei Lee Wen , Kanagasundram Sharmilla , Hock Tan Chow
Published: May 2020

This case report highlights problems encountered by psychiatrists when treating a 68-year-old female patient
who presented with a first episode of psychosis. She suffered from constipation, an anticholinergic side
effect of quetiapine and both anticholinergic and extrapyramidal side effects of olanzapine. Finally, she was
able to tolerate a combination of two pharmacologically different antipsychotics namely olanzapine and
aripiprazole combined with a course of ECT followed by maintenance ECT. The authors would like to
highlight maintenance ECT as part of the solution to patients who find it difficult to tolerate antipsychotics.
Especially when only low doses of antipsychotics can be tolerated by the patient.

Authors: Heiman Joshua , Krambeck Amy , Agarwal Deepak , Lingeman James , Heiman Joshua , Rivera Marcelino , Large Tim
Published: May 2020

Purpose: To characterize the role of perineal urethrostomy in patients undergoing HoLEP for BPH
symptom relief.
Methods: We identified all patients who required the creation of a perineal urethrostomy from a
prospectively maintained institutional database between 1998-2017. Patient demographics, as well as
operative and postoperative records, were analyzed to evaluate differences in those patients requiring a
perineal urethrostomy.
Results Obtained: We identified 7 patients who underwent HoLEP and required a perineal urethrostomy.
The mean age was 70 years old (range: 61-82 years old). Within this subset of patients, four had previously
aborted BPH procedures; two had penile prosthesis and two were morbidly obese. The mean final prostate
specimen weight was 111 grams (range: 23-319). The duration of catheterization varied from 37-600 hours.
In patients with BMI ≥40kg/m2
, the average duration of catheterization was 588 hours compared 119 hours
in patients with BMI <40kg/m2
. At the six-month follow-up, no patient reported daytime incontinence. No
strictures, fistulae, or diverticula were identified in these patients.
Conclusion: Utilizing a temporary perineal urethrostomy during HoLEP, or any transurethral BPH
procedure, for a small subset of patients with challenging anatomy represents an important skill in the
endoscopist’s armamentarium. We note no adverse events aside from prolonged urinary catheterization.
Surgeons should consider temporary perineal urethrostomy in lieu of aborting the procedure with the
knowledge that it is safe and presents minimal long-term risks.

Pseudotumoral calcinosis is a rare benign tumor, characterized by deep calcium deposition in peri-articular
soft tissues. A numerous list of calcium deposit diseases exists making the calcinosis diagnosis very
challenging. There are three principal forms or etiologies; primary or idiopathic forms followed by
secondary forms due to chronic renal failure or hyperparathyroidism, then genetic forms such as
Hyperphosphatemic Familial Tumoral Calcinosis (HFTC). We report a case of 14-year-old boy with
primary tumoral calcinosis of the right hip. Total mass resection was performed without any recurrence at
one-year follow-up.
Surgical Planning of Hepatic Metastasectomy Using Radiologist-Performed Intraoperative Ultrasound
Authors: Nanji Sulaiman , Menard Alexandre , Jalink Diederick , O’Malley Lauren , Wong Shannon , Nanji Sulaiman
Published: May 2020

Background: Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) of the liver is a useful adjunct for surgical planning during
hepatic metastasectomy. This study aims to (1) report the frequency of change in operative plan as a result
of IOUS findings and (2) determine whether IOUS is still beneficial after implementing a standardized,
comprehensive process of preoperative hepatic imaging.
Methods: First, a retrospective review of all patients undergoing hepatic metastasectomy at a single
institution was conducted to identify how frequently IOUS findings altered the surgical plan. Second, a
prospective study was conducted where patients underwent both preoperative CT and MRI within 30 days
before surgery to determine if IOUS may still have benefit despite the implementation of a standardized
preoperative imaging protocol.
Results: In the retrospective review, 39 liver resections were completed; 100% and 36% of patients
underwent preoperative CT and MRI, respectively. The mean time between preoperative imaging and
surgery was 46 days (7-126). Operative plans were changed in 10/39 (26%) cases based on IOUS. After the
standardization of preoperative imaging, 27 liver resections were performed. All patients underwent
preoperative CT and MRI; the mean time between preoperative imaging and surgery was 20 days (1-98)
(p=0.001). The operative plan was amended in 5/27 (19%) cases based on IOUS (χ
2=1.405, p=0.24).
Conclusion: Even after standardizing the quality and timing of preoperative imaging, the operative plan
was changed in nearly 1/5 patients due to IOUS. These findings demonstrate the utility of IOUS in surgical
planning for hepatic metastasectomy and provide the basis for a quality improvement strategy regarding
standardized preoperative imaging.
Thrombolytic Treatment in High-Risk Pregnancy: A Case Report
Authors: Sanzaro Enzo , Sanzaro Enzo
Published: May 2020

Ischemic stroke during pregnancy occurs most often in the third trimester and is potentiated by an increased
pro-coagulant state during pregnancy. Precisely this procoagulant state, associated with other thrombophilic
phenomena and various risk factors for cardio- and cerebro-vascular pathologies, is the basis of a stroke in
the elderly pregnant woman. A 43-year-old woman of 30 weeks pregnant presented within 120 minutes of
the sudden onset of left side hemiparesis was given thrombolytic treatment with recombinant tissue
plasminogen activator. The risk was extremely high since in the past she had a premature birth for unknown
reasons. Our patient improved clinically with no residual deficits. But, being at risk, she was transferred to
another hospital where she spontaneously gave birth, after a few days, to a healthy premature baby. It is
reasonable to weigh in the benefit of alteplase vs. the risk in this patient group and give treatment for
disabling stroke, particularly if there is no access to endovascular treatment.

A 75-years-old man presented at our ED with acute onset of paraplegia and severe bilateral lower limb
hyposthenia. The patient ‘s neurological assessment was negative except for lower limbs positive
Mingazzini test. CT angiography detected a complete lack of opacification of the abdominal aorta
immediately below the emergency of the inferior mesenteric artery, caused by a coarse thrombus in the left
ventricle. We present a case of acute aortic and lumbar arteries thrombosis with paraplegia and no clear
symptoms of acute limb ischemia, in which the motor deficit in the lower extremities was explained by
anterior spinal cord syndrome secondary to acute occlusion of lumbar arteries.
Ten-Year Review of Pediatric Microbial Keratitis and Applicability of the 1-2-3- Rule
Authors: Motley W. Walker , Motley W. Walker , Al-Thawabieh Wejdan
Published: May 2020

Purpose: To describe the current spectrum of bacterial etiologies, clinical features, medical management
and visual outcomes of pediatric community-acquired bacterial keratitis and to evaluate the usefulness of
the 1-2-3-Rule in predicting vision loss.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed of consecutive cases of pediatric keratitis treated at a single
institution over a 10-year period. The 1-2-3-Rule was applied retrospectively and analyzed to determine its
accuracy in predicting vision loss.
Results: Seventy-seven cases were identified. Pseudomonas was the most common organism identified
followed by coagulase-negative staphylococcus and staphylococcus aureus. Only one case of
staphylococcus aureus keratitis was methicillin resistant. Most (n=66) of the 74 verbal patients regained
20/30 or better visual acuity and 5 had final visual acuity of 20/100 or worse. The 1-2-3-Rule yielded high
sensitivity and negative predictive values in our pediatric patients.
Conclusions: Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an infrequent pathogen in cases of
pediatric community-acquired bacterial keratitis. Pseudomonas continues to be a common etiology. Most
pediatric patients retain good visual acuity with treatment. When applied at a patient’s initial evaluation, the
1-2-3-Rule test may be helpful in predicting which pediatric patients will retain good visual acuity following
treatment.

Published: May 2020

Background: Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer originating in the pleural
mesothelioma. It generally appears as a local disease in the affected hemithorax, and metastasis are rare. It
is unusual for malignant pleural mesothelioma to manifest with gastrointestinal complications due to
metastatic implants, but clinicians should be careful to take into consideration this hypothesis in patients
with a history of malignant pleural mesothelioma referring to the Emergency Department with acute
abdominal pain.
Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man, with a medical history of pleural mesothelioma, presented to our
emergency department for acute abdominal pain. The patient underwent abdominal ultrasound and
abdominal Computed Tomography with intravenous contrast. At US examination a small bowel obstruction
diagnosis was made, CT confirmed a mechanical small bowel obstruction due to an intussuscepted
multiloculated mass in the terminal ileum, with CT’s signs of parietal damage; another peritoneal mass was
reported adjacent to the posterior wall of the cecum and in contiguity with the iliopsoas muscle. Considering
the acute medical presentation, the patient underwent surgery, with segmental bowel resection and a stapled
side-by-side bowel anastomosis. Histopathology revealed metastasis of sarcomatoid pleural mesothelioma.
The post-operative course was complicated by anastomotic leak treated with a conservative approach. The
patient was discharged on the 24th post-operative day.
Conclusion: Our case highlights the potential of pleural mesothelioma to metastasize within abdominal
viscera, causing bowel obstruction. In presence of the patient’s critical clinical condition and advanced state
of local disease, a surgical approach based on damage control procedure consisting in exploration, biopsies
and ileostomy upstream the obstruction or, exploration and resection without anastomosis, carry on several
advantages, solving the acute clinical condition, staging the disease and offering the possibility to proceed
rapidly with supportive care (chemotherapy and/or surgery).
Curbing Financial Corruption in Lebanese Healthcare Sector
Authors: Malak Aoun  , Hassan Alaaraj  , Ferdous Alam
Published: May 2020

Up to 2016, Lebanon was ranked the first among the Arab countries in the high level of corruption in its administration and public institutions. This corruption has penetrated the Lebanese healthcare sector deeply and has spread at different levels including hospitalization, medicine, and most notably within the healthcare financing system. The objective of this paper is to highlight the major global corruption practices in health sector while focusing on the current state of Lebanon. Secondary data and statistics are obtained from published reports, statements and interviews. Mainly, there is an irrational high expenditure and relative surplus in the healthcare market especially for medical equipment’s. In addition, there is a gap in health policies in terms of laws, regulations, and governance practices such as lack of accountability; transparency and access to information. Key implications are presented for healthcare practitioners to adapt anti-corruption interventions and coordinate with the guarantors in curbing the financial corruption and raising the social awareness. Future studies can expand this issue empirically and put the discussion into a comparison approach. This paper highlights some of the announced corrupt practices in the Lebanese healthcare sector and proposes proactive anti-corruption interventions for much more hidden violations.

Esterification of malic acid on various catalysts
Authors: Kuzmina N. S. , Portnova S. V. , Krasnykh E. L.
Published: May 2020

Objectives. The study aims to identify the optimal choice of an effective catalyst for the esterification of malic acid to produce esters of high purity.

Methods. To determine the qualitative and quantitative composition of reaction masses, the following analysis methods were used: mass-spectroscopy (using FinniganTrace DSQ device with NIST 2002, Xcalibur 1.31 Sp 5 database) and gas–liquid chromatography (using the Kristall 2000M software and hardware complex).

Results. Esters of malic acid and butyl alcohol of normal structure were synthesized using the following catalysts: sulfuric, orthophosphoric, p-toluenesulfonic acid, Amberlyst 36 Dry, Amberlyst 36 Wet, KU-2-FPP, and KIF-T. The obtained products were analyzed by gas–liquid chromatography. The structure of the products was confirmed by mass spectrometry. Schemes for the formation of byproducts are proposed. The yields and purity of the malic acid butyl esters obtained using different catalysts were evaluated. The results show that the heterogeneous catalyst Amberlyst 36 Dry is optimal for obtaining a pure malic acid ester with a maximum yield.

Conclusions. The results show that during the esterification of malic acid with butyl alcohol of normal structure, byproducts, such as esters of fumaric and maleic acids, are formed using different catalysts. An accumulation of byproducts occurs as a result of reactions of dehydration of malic acid or its ester. The results also show that the number of byproducts is almost independent of the catalyst, with the exception of sulfuric acid. The Amberlyst 36 Dry catalyst provides an optimal ratio between conversion and selectivity for malic acid dibutyl ester production.

Kurikulum merupakan unsur penting dalam pendidikan dan kerangka dasar juga sebagai indikator dari kemajuan pendidikan. Begitu pentingnya kurikulum sehingga Pemerintah secara kontinu terus melakukan perubahan kurikulum sejak tahun 1975 sampai dengan sekarang. Oleh sebab itu setiap institusi pendidikan wajib memiliki kurikulum termasuk IAIN Langsa sebagai salah satu Perguruan Tinggi yang menghasilkan calon pendidik khususnya guru matematika pada tingkat satuan pendidikan SMP dan SMA di kota Langsa. Namun pada kenyataannya banyak sekali alumni Prodi PMA yang bekerja tidak sesuai dengan bidang keilmuannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui rancangan kurikulum Prodi PMA dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pasar kerja untuk alumninya. Penelitian ini menggunakan discrapancy evaluation models (DEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa stakeholder menilai bahwa sebahagian alumni Prodi PMA kurang kompeten dalam bekerja. Sehingga perlu dilakukan sebuah perubahan kurikulum terutama pada sebaran mata kuliah dengan memperhatikan kebutuhan kurikulum tingkat sekolah dan pasar kerja.
INTEGRASI AL-QURAN PADA MATA PELAJARAN MATEMATIKA TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN SISWA

Published: May 2020

Tujuan Pendidikan di Indonesia adalah untuk mengembangkan kemampuan siswa dalam berbagai aspek, baik dalam bidang kemampuan kognitif maupun kemampuan keagamaan. Salah satu upaya untuk dapat memenuhi tujuan tersebut adalah dengan cara mengintegrasikan ilmu pengetahuan umum dengan ilmu pengetahuan agama. Contoh Integrasi ini adalah dengan mengaitkan mata pelajaran matematika dengan Al-Quran. Alasan dibalik integrasi ini dikarenakan kandungan Al-Quran banyak mencakup tentang simbol-simbol angka dan makna yang juga merupakan bagian dari matematika. Integrasi ini juga diterapkan di Institusi pendidikan di Indonesia. Hanya saja masih sedikit penelitian yang dilakukan untuk mengintegrasi pendidikan matematika dengan Al-Quran untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa di Indonesia demikian juga di Aceh terutama Aceh Tamiang yang belum pernah melakukan penelitian tersebut. Terkait dengan kesenjangan literatur yang ada sehingga penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisa bagaimana integrasi Al-Quran pada mata pelajaran matematika terhadap kemampuan siswa di MTs Aceh Tamiang.  Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan eksperimen, desain penelitiannya menggunakan One shot case study design, instrumennya menggunakan tes. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan Al-Quran pada mata pelajaran matematika di MTs Aceh Tamiang dikatakan baik karena siswa berada di atas rata-rata. Maka disarankan untuk sekolah-sekolah lain untuk menerapkan Al-Quran pada mata pelajaran matematika.
PILIR-PILAR MANAJEMEN KONSEP KELUARGA SAKINAH

Kehidupan keluarga tidak terlepas dari sistem nilai yang ada dalam masyarakat yaitu agama, adat istiadat, nilai-nilai sosial, dan nilai-nilai kesakralan keluarga. Dimana sistem nilai tersebut sering mengalami degradasi, misalnya degradasi agama yaitu pada saat ini banyak umat yang kurang taat beribadah sebagaimana diperintahkan oleh agamanya. Untuk kondisi keluarga modern sendiri mempunyai ciri utama kemajuan dan perkembangan di bidang pendidikan, ekonomi, dan pergaulan. Dalam keluarga ada kalanya mengalami krisis maksudnya kehidupan keluarga dalam keadaan kacau, tak teratur dan terarah, antara suami istri tidak harmonis, kadangkala orang tua kehilangan kewibawaan untuk mengendalikan anak-anaknya, kondisi seperti ini sering terjadi dalam keluarga modern saat ini. disebabkan mereka tidak begitu paham dengan makna berkeluarga itu sendiri, dalam keluarga tidak hanya finansial, semata yang dibutuhkan tapi lebih dari pada itu juga keharmonisan, saling menghargai keterbukaan, saling menjaga dan saling menghormati sehingga terciptalah keluarga yang sesuai dengan ketentuan-ketentuan agama. Oleh karena itu keluarga merupakan kelompok terkecil dalam sebuah tatanan masyarakat. Keluarga yang baik adalah awal dari masyarakat yang sejahtera. Sebaliknya, keluarga yang amburadul adalah pertanda hancurnya sebuah masyarakat. Keluarga-keluarga yang harmonis akan mewujudkan masyarakat yang aman dan damai. Mengingat begitu pentingnya peranan keluarga dalam menciptakan masyarakat yang baik dan sejahtera, maka Islam memberikan perhatian yang sangat besar bagaimana mengelola sebuah keluarga yang sakinah, mawaddah, warrahmah.

Amity between the people holds the key to sound state-to-state relations. Supporting people-to-people exchanges, international education is of great significance to the building and maintaining of a good relationship between countries. This paper analyzes the humanistic values of international education and proposes two characteristics of China’s international education, respectively named the bidirectional cultural exchanges and social benefits. Taking Xi’an Jiaotong University as an example, the paper illustrates how international student education helps to promote cultural and social exchanges between China and foreign countries, and paves the way for intercultural learning and understanding. 国之交在于民相亲。国际教育作为人文交流的重要途径和有效载体，对扩大民间友好具有重要意义。本文通过剖析国际教育的人文内涵，分析国际教育的双向文化传播属性、外溢属性的特点，以多种角度阐述国际教育对中外人文交流的促进。并以西安交通大学为例，以翔实的数据案例，阐明立足高校如何做好国际教育，以促进中外人文社会交流，铺就文明互鉴之路。
