Published: January 2024

Background. The terminal stages of occlusive-stenotic lesions of the limb arteries, especially in the distal areas, are characterized by critical ischemia, the development of gangrenous lesions of parts of the limb, and despite the use of a number of medical and surgical methods, there is a threat of limb loss. An effective remedy in this situation is the removal of dead tissue, reliable closure of the defect with revascularization of ischemic tissue.

Aim: to improve the results of treatment of patients with distal occlusive lesions of the lower extremity arteries by combined revascularization using free soft tissue flaps.

Materials and methods. We studied 45 patients with terminal stages of occlusive-stenotic lesions of the distal lower extremities (lower legs and feet). Preliminary graft sizes were established after clinical and instrumental assessment of the volume of tissue deficiency in the recipient area. The expected size of the flap tissue transformation, which occurred in the long term after surgery, was also taken into account.

Results. The effectiveness of the method was studied in the transplantation of 48 flaps in 45 patients with terminal limb arterial lesions. The used method ensures 90.5% of limb survival after 3 years; 81.0% of good results - walking with a cane.

Conclusion. 1.  The used method of treatment of limbs with terminal stages of occlusive-stenotic arterial lesions by indirect revascularization with a thoraco-dorsal flap is effective, provides 90.5% survival of the limb after 3 years. Preliminary graft sizes should be established after clinical and instrumental assessment of the volume of tissue deficiency in the recipient area, taking into account the size of tissue transformation. Combined revascularization of the lower extremities significantly improves the hemodynamics of the ischemic limb.

Aim. To describe the medico-social portrait of a smoker of tobacco products for electronic heating (TPEH) among the young population of the Lviv region.

Materials and methods.  A single anonymous survey of 817 young people (from 18 to 45 years of age) living in the Lviv region was conducted. From among them, we singled out a focus group of 93 respondents who indicated that they use tobacco products for electronic heating

Results. The average age of a consumer of TPEHs at which a smoker tried this tobacco product for the first time amounted to 16.00 (14.00; 18.00) years of age. More than half of the participants of the formed focus group, namely 56.99±5.13% smoke regularly. The largest percentage among the respondents, 61.29±5.05% of TPEH smokers, work on a permanent basis, and almost half of the respondents, 48.39±5.18%, indicated their income as "average". Half of the respondents (51.61±5.18%) do not hide smoking from their human environment. More than half of TPEH users report that their parents smoke. Also, about a half of the respondents of the focus group have more than 10 acquaintances and relatives who use the latest devices for tobacco consumption. Also, TPEH smokers are not limited to this source of nicotine, but use 2.0 (1.0; 2.5) tobacco products on average.

Conclusions. The information obtained will be used in the development of a personalized model of prevention of the latest methods of tobacco consumption among the young population in the Lviv region.

Immunosuppressants (ІS) are used to prevent a number of autoimmune diseases, non-autoimmune inflammatory diseases and rejection of transplanted organs. Global ІS market is characterized by high growth rates.

The aim of the work: analyze the immunosuppressants product nomenclature on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, as well as their characteristics from the point of view of state guarantees of medical care of the population.

The research materials: the sources of special and scientific and methodical literature; The State Register of Drugs of Ukraine (as of February 1, 2023), the Register of Drugs that are subjects to reimbursement by the state guarantees program of medical care of the population, as of February 14, 2023. The methods of information search, analysis, generalization, and marketing research have been used.

It has been established that 27 INN of immunosuppressants in the form of 134 trade names had been registered in Ukraine. Almost half of the studied drugs consisted of lenalidomide (23.13%), tacrolimus (15.67%) and mycophenolic acid (9.70%). Immunosuppressants are presented in the shape of 7 dosage forms, mostly in capsules (55.22%).

It has been found that immunosuppressants are characterized by absolute import dependence, 127 foreign manufacturers from 27 countries have registered 133 trade names (99.25%), and the Ukrainian manufacturer (JSC "Farmak") - only one position (0.75%) and even that is from products in bulk. Germany is characterized as the country that has the highest production activity of immunosuppressants (22.83% of the enterprises had an indicator of production activity of 20.81%), and among the producers there are two pharmaceutical enterprises: Novartis Pharma Stein AG, Switzerland and Sinton Hispania S.L, Spain (production activity indicator 3.76% both).

The Register of drugs subjects to reimbursement under the state guarantees program of medical care of the population has included 5 INN of immunosuppressants in the form of 21 trade names for people in the post-transplantation period. Four-fifths (80.95%) of them belong to expensive drugs, as evidenced by their retail price per package of UAH 1,000 or more. However, patients can receive 15 trade names free of charge, for the other 6 trade names patient’s payment ranges from 8.09 to 33.95%  of retail value.

The obtained results can serve as a prototype for the formation of the product nomenclature of drug manufacturers, wholesale pharmaceutical enterprises and pharmacies.

Every year, the number of new cases of strokes is increasing all over the world. More than 62% of all strokes are ischemic strokes. Ischemic stroke is a serious medical and social problem and one of the main causes of death and disability in Ukraine and around the world. The use of drugs, the main task of which is to increase the safety of nervous tissue, has the great importance in the pharmacotherapy of ischemic stroke.

The aim of the study was to analyze the results of cost-effectiveness calculations and the impact on the budget during the use of the drug Xavron® for the treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke in Ukraine.

Research materials: regulatory and legal framework of Ukraine, scientific and methodological guidelines for the medical use of medicines, clinical trials and relevant recommendations, analytical materials, data on drug prices from drug aggregators and the electronic public procurement system, tariffs for medical services under the program of state guarantees of medical care for the population. Research methods: cost analysis (bottom-up and decision tree methods), cost-effectiveness and budget impact analysis, cost-effectiveness plane method, and sensitivity analysis.

It was established that the method of treatment using Xavron® in combination with standard therapy is less expensive and more effective: the «cost-effectiveness» indicator for medical therapy based on Xavron® amounted to UAH 84,639.24, while for standard therapy – UAH 88,340.62.

The results of the analysis of the incremental efficiency indicator (ICER) for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke based on Xavron® amounted to UAH 24,838.69. This indicates that the method of treatment using Xavron® in combination with standard therapy is more effective and less costly.

The conducted sensitivity analysis confirmed the stability of pharmacoeconomic calculations regarding changes in the main parameters of the model.

The method of treatment using Xavron® in combination with standard therapy and inpatient rehabilitation is the best strategy in terms of budget impact analysis. It results in savings of UAH 237,641,992.50 from the Ukrainian healthcare budget for all patients and additional costs of UAH 6,804.10 per patient.

According to the results of the forecast, the amount of saved funds from the healthcare budget of Ukraine for 2023–2027 (5 years) for all patients will amount to UAH 1,247,480,956.10.

The implementation of the proposed methods of treatment will make it possible to improve the results of treatment of patients with ischemic stroke, as well as reduce the social and economic burden of this disease.

In the golden era of digitalization, flow calculation research based on a numerical approach has become increasingly popular in the scientific world and has played a vital role in revealing the aerodynamic characteristics of various aircraft models. This paper, belonging to computational fluid dynamics, describes the process and results of a numerical simulation approach using the software OpenFOAM for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the case of forwarding flight with a low Reynolds number. With regard to the numerical approach, the aerodynamic properties are investigated through the turbulence model k-ω-SST (shear stress transport), which is a part of the turbulence calculation approach Reynolds average Navier–Stokes (RANS). Furthermore, the entire process of mesh generation and the numerical calculation process by simpleFoam in OpenFOAM, which is the solver using the semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations (SIMPLE) algorithm for steady, incompressible flow, are also depicted in this paper. In addition, the characteristics of the flow field surrounding the model and the characteristic aerodynamic coefficients (drag coefficient, lift coefficient, lift-to-drag ratio versus angle of attack and pressure coefficients, and skin-friction coefficients for special positions on the wing) of the model are also clearly illustrated. Finally, the simulation illustrations in ParaView, including the velocity field, pressure field and vortices in the stagnation region, are shown. The process description and results contribute a clear picture of the numerical execution steps in OpenFOAM and aerodynamic knowledge for a particular unmanned aerial vehicle model to the computational fluid dynamics field in the aerospace industry.

In this study, five types of plant extracts in Vietnam were selected to compare phenolic content, antioxidant and antibacterial activities, respectively Gymnanthemum amygdalinum (bitter leaf), Piper betle (betel), Pseuderanthemum bracteatum (Imlay), Piper sarmentosum (kaduk), and Paederia tomentosa (stinkvine). Five types of leaves were fractionally extracted with n-hexane (HE), ethyl acetate (EA) and water (W) solvents. The antioxidant activity was compared based on free radical scavenging capacity (DPPH, ABTS), iron reducing capacity (FRAP) and iron chelation capacity (FIC). At the same time, the total phenolic content (TPC) was also compared by the Folin-Ciocalteau method. The results demonstrate antioxidant activity (DPPH), the EA fraction of betel leaf was the best, followed by four extracts of bitter leaf > kaduk > Imlay > stinkvine. Similarly, the EA fraction of betel leaf also showed the highest FRAP and ABTS iron-reducing activity. A correlation between phenolic content and antioxidant activities of leaf extracts was also investigated. Regarding antibacterial activity, betel leaf in all fractions showed the highest antibacterial activity against most gram (+) and gram (-) organisms through diffuse on agar plate test. Meanwhile, bitter leaf showed the lowest antibacterial activity in both EA and W fractions.

Streptomyces species, especially antimicrobial compounds, are among the major organisms used for natural biochemical production. However, less is known about these species in primitive regions. From 39 soil samples collected in different forest sites on Phu Quoc (PQ) and Con Son (CD) Islands, Viet Nam, 103 Streptomyces isolates were observed on the selective solid medium ISP4. After continuous subculture to pure microbes, the Streptomyces isolates were observed and classified by microscopic and biochemical tests. Using a well diffusion technique, the antimicrobial activities of the ethyl acetate extracts from broth cultures of all the isolates were preliminarily examined against 6 microbes, namely, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus flavus, which are gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria, yeast and fungi, respectively. Antimicrobial tests of ISP4 crude extracts from 103 isolates derived from both forests revealed 54 isolates (52.4%) with activity, and these isolates were present in different groups of aerial mycelia. Among them, eleven isolates exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects on more than 2 indicators, among which isolates P24 and P66 exhibited activity against 4 of the 6 tested microorganisms. These results indicate the antimicrobial potential of the isolates from both primitive forests under these laboratory conditions. This observation reveals promising resources for further investigation of this organism for antibiotic discovery.
Design and modeling of the nonlinear properties of octagonal lattice Ge20Sb5Se75 photonic crystal fibers
Authors:   University of Education, Hue University, 34 Le Loi, Hue City, Viet Nam, Nguyen Thuy Thi
Published: January 2024

Most silica photonic crystal fibers have limited spectral broadening in the infrared region, making them less than ideal in terms of technological applications. In this work, we propose a new Ge20Sb5Se75 chalcogenide octagonal photonic crystal fiber that provides diverse dispersions with all-normal and anomalous regimes and multiple zero-dispersion wavelengths. The nonlinear properties are investigated over a wide wavelength range up to 14 µm by numerically solving Maxwell's wave equations using Lumerical Mode Solutions software. The full-vector finite-difference eigenmode method minimizes the losses so that low confinement losses in the short-wavelength region of 1 − 6 µm are found and nonlinear coefficients as high as thousands of W−1.km−1 are achieved. Three fibers with an all-normal dispersion profile and anomalous dispersion with one or three zero dispersion wavelengths are proposed for supercontinuum generation. The fibers provide small dispersion values of −0.88, 0.08, and 1.646 ps/(nm.km) at suitable pump wavelengths. Furthermore, the very small confinement loss of approximately 10−5 to 10−11 dB/m is the outstanding advantage of these optical fibers. A broadband spectrum with low input power is expected as a result of the proposed fiber-based supercontinuum generation.

A terhesség során kialakuló fiziológiás immunmoduláció fertőzések esetén szepszis kialakulására hajlamosít
Authors: Fülöp Vilmos , Kalmár László
Published: January 2024

A terhesség alatti fiziológiai változások miatt nagyobb a gravidákban a szepszis kialakulásának kockázata, amely a fertőzésekre maladaptívan reagáló gazdaszervezet válaszból ered. Különböző immunfázisokat azonosítottak, amelyeket az immun- és metabolikus rendszerek homeosztázis szabályozási pontjainak placentáris hormonok által vezérelt változásai határoznak meg, és ezek több vonatkozásban hasonlóak a szepszisben megfigyelt változásokhoz. A folyamatok jobb értelmezése segít abban, hogy megértsük az immunrendszer szerepét az egészséges terhességekben, és lehetőséget teremtett arra, hogy feltárjuk az immunrendszer alterációit a kedvezőtlen terhességi kimenetelekben. A terhességet szisztémásan a lipid homeosztázis, az immunsejtek számának és a citokinszintnek egy olyan eltolódása jellemezi, ami a limfociták rovására a mieloid immunsejt-alcsoportok megnövekedett mennyiségét hozza létre. Az egyik stratégia, amely bizonyos terhességi fertőzések (így a szepszis) előfordulásának leküzdésére az immunrendszer szabályozási pontjainak megváltoztatását kedvezően befolyásolja, a védőoltás. A vakcinák úgy fejtik ki hatásukat, hogy bizonyos terhességi fertőzések szanálása céljából csökkentik az immunaktiválás szabályozási pontjainak működését, valamint az immunmemória-vezérelt effektorsejtek gyors expanzióját egy specifikus kórokozó ellen, ezáltal csökkentik az esetleg mégis kialakult betegségek súlyosságát és ezekből a szepszis kifejlődésének lehetőségét.

A szerzők a keresztmetszeti kvantitatív kutatás során a diádikus (párkapcsolati) stressz és a felnőtt kötődés párkapcsolati minőséggel mutatott összefüggéseit vizsgálták tartós párkapcsolatokban. A kutatás az extradiádikus és az intradiádikus, illetve az akut és krónikus stresszhatás párkapcsolati és élettel való elégedettséggel való együtt járásának feltárására irányult, külön elemezve a felnőtt kötődési mintákat, mint a kapcsolaton belül jelen lévő sajátos védelmező vagy veszélyeztető tényezőt. A vizsgálatban összesen 703, legalább egy éve párkapcsolatban élő felnőtt válaszadó (n = 703; 335 ffi, 368 nő) vett részt (átlagéletkor: 35,0 év; szórás: 13,2), a legfiatalabb 18, a legidősebb 80 éves volt. Párkapcsolat ideje szerint: 194 fő (27,6%) 1–2 éve, 140 fő (19,9%) 3–5 éve, 122 fő (17,4%) 6–10 éve, 247 (35,1%) több mint 10 éve van a jelenlegi kapcsolatban. A minta párkapcsolat jellege szerinti eloszlása: 25 fő (3,6%) elkötelezetlen; 155 fő (22%) elkötelezett, külön élő; 199 fő (28,3%) együttélés; 324 fő (46,1%) házas vagy bejegyzett élettárs. A vizsgálatban a szociodemográfiai adatokra és a párkapcsolati jellemzőkre vonatkozó kérdések mellett a diádikus stressz mérésére a Többdimenziós Párkapcsolati Stressz Kérdőív (MSQ-C-Hu), a kötődési stílus beazonosítására a Közvetlen Kapcsolatok Élményei Kérdőív (ECR-R), a párkapcsolati elégedettség mérésére Kapcsolati elégedettség skála (RAS-H), az élettel való elégedettség feltárására az Élettel való elégedettség skála (SWLS-H) szerepelt. Az eredmények arra utalnak, hogy a diádikus stressz mindegyik formája (intradiádikus, extradiádikus, akut, krónikus) öszszefüggésben áll a kapcsolati és az élettel való elégedettséggel. Mivel a párkapcsolat időtartamának előrehaladtával a párkapcsolati stressz növekvő tendenciát mutatott, az eredmények felhívják a figyelmet a tartós párkapcsolatokban megjelenő, kapcsolaton belüli stresszhelyzetekkel való megküzdéshez szükséges erőforrások fontosságára, a témában végzett prevenciós és intervenciós programok szükségességére.

The rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the major and recurrent threats to sustainable rice production in Bangladesh. To mitigate this problem, the present study was undertaken with the aim to investigate the inhibitory effects of commercially available silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) on the growth and development of Magnaporthe oryzae, and control of rice blast disease. In vitro experiments demonstrated that Ag-NPs significantly suppressed the radial growth of fungal mycelium, with the highest inhibition (83.54%) at a concentration of 250 ppm, while Trooper 75 WP at 400 ppm completely inhibited the fungal mycelial growth. The production of conidia and colony formation were also reduced significantly by Ag-NPs treatment. Furthermore, Ag-NPs exhibited a substantial inhibitory effect on the germination of M. oryzae conidia, with complete inhibition observed at concentrations between 200 and 250 ppm. Comparative analyses revealed that the fungicidal effect of Ag-NPs was superior to silver nitrate (AgNO3), suggesting the augmented activity of the nano properties. The sensitivity of M. oryzae to Ag-NPs was determined by calculating EC50 and EC95 values, which indicated a mean EC50 value of 131.5 ppm and a mean EC95 value of 276 ppm. Additionally, in vivo experiments showed that preventive and curative treatments with Ag-NPs significantly reduced disease incidence and severity in rice plants infected with M. oryzae, with efficacy comparable to that of the fungicide Trooper 75 WP. At higher concentrations of Ag-NPs, preventive treatment was found to be more effective than curative treatment in disease control. These findings highlighted the potential of Ag-NPs as an effective alternative for the management of rice blast.

Published: January 2024

Pod borer species Maruca vitrata (Geyer) and Euchrysops cnejus (Fab.) are the major limiting constraints in mung bean. The present experiment was conducted in the experimental field of the Department of Entomology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh during March to June 2021 to develop an ecofriendly management approach against pod borer attacking mung bean. Four eco-friendly biopesticides (Biomax 1.8 EC (Abamectin) @ 1.2 ml/L, Tracer 45 SC (Spinosad) @ 0.4 g/, Fytomax PM (0.1% Azadirachtin) @ 5.0 ml/L, Neem Seed kernel Extract (NSKE) @ 50.0 g/L) and clean cultivation were tested against pod borers of mung bean variety BU mug 4. An untreated control treatment was maintained for comparison. The marginal benefit-cost ratio of the treatments and the impact of the treatments on the abundance of beneficial arthropods in the experimental plots were recorded. The management approaches did not affect the abundance of beneficial arthropods in the bean field. The findings revealed that the lowest rate of pod infestation (1.9% by n/n and w/w) as well as the highest marketable yield (1.55 MT/ha) and marginal benefit- cost ratio (3.02) were obtained with the foliar spray with Tracer 45 SC (Spinosad) @0.4 g/L of water at 15 days interval. Tracer 45 SC (Spinosad) @ 0.4 g/L of water at 15 day intervals is an effective, suitable, and viable approach for suppressing pod borer complex without harm to beneficial arthropods in the mung bean field.

Published: January 2024

The research critically evaluated the sequence of homestead food production (HFP) inputs along with nutrition education program and also the effect of only the latter on nutritional status and school performance in chosen rural secondary school pupils of Kishoreganj district of Bangladesh. In this research, a total of 1214 pupils were distributed among study group 1, study group 2 and the control group. The number of students in study group 1, study group 2 and the control group was406, 400 and 408 respectively. The study group 1 took part in the nutrition education program. The second study group received HFP inputs besides nutrition education. Anthropometric, blood samples and school performance-related data were gathered at the beginning and also after an intervention of six months. In the control group, severe and moderate malnutrition increased at the end of the research period of half a year (from 2.0 to 2.5% and 8.9 to 10.5% respectively). On the other hand, severe and moderate malnutrition reduced in study group 1 (from 8.5 to 6.4% and 13.5 to 11.3%respectively) and study group 2 (from 4.5 to 4.2% and 10.1 to 8.3% respectively) after the intervention. The prevalence of anemia was 48.5%, 43.8% and 48.5% at the baseline in the control, first and second study groups respectively. After half-year, the frequency of anemia escalated in the control group (54.9%) while it reduced in the study group 1 (35.5%) and study group 2 (44%). The serum ferritin level reduced from baseline in the control group. Noteworthy differences in the examination marks were noted in the three groups after the duration of six months, especially among the pupils in study groups 1 and 2. Advancement in curricular achievement of study group 2 was noticeably better than study group 1(p<0.05) and control group (p<0.05). Findings from this study suggest nutrition intervention programs can positively affect the nutritional status and the academic performance of the students.

Authors: Kumar Bijon , Saqueeb Nazmus , Sikdar K M Yasif Kayes , Ahmed Firoj , Faroque ABM
Published: January 2024

Butter oil is a dairy product with high butter fat content that turns into solid when chilled and liquid when warmed. Ghee is a class of clarified butter originated in primitive India. Both butter oil and ghee are widely used for cooking various foods as well as food supplement in Bangladesh. However, low-quality butter oil and ghee may cause serious health hazard to the population who consumes regularly. In the present study, the physicochemical parameters of marketed butter oil and ghee samples were analyzed and results were compared with Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI)standard. Three (3) samples of butter oil (B-1 to B-3) and 24 samples (G-1 to G-24) of ghee were collected from different local market of Bangladesh. The quality determinant parameters like moisture content, acid value and free acid value, iodine value, saponification value, peroxide value and presence of sesame oil were analyzed. All the samples of butter oil and ghee were failed to meet the standard value of moisture content (butter oil, < 0.5% and ghee, < 0.1%), saponification value (> 218 mg/gm) and sesame oil test (negative) compared to the BSTI standard. However, among all 27 samples only one sample of ghee, G-7 (35.01) met the limit of iodine value (26-35) compared to the BSTI standard. Rest of the parameters like acid value (< 1.9 mg/gm), free acid value and peroxide value (< 0.8 mEq of O2/kg) were within the limit of BSTI standard for all the samples. However, every parameter needs to be within the BSTI standard limit to ensure the quality of butter oil and ghee. So, more concern is needed by the government authority to ensure the proper quality of marketed butter oil and ghee in Bangladesh.

Analyzing the Determinants of Child Nutrition in Rural Bangladesh: Application of Quantile Regression
Authors: Hossain Mahbub , Mandal M A Sattar
Published: January 2024

Despite recent success in achieving major development goals, Bangladesh still lags behind in respect of reducing the incidence of child undernutrition which usually causes illness, poor physical and cognitive development, or even death. Recognizing the importance of child nutrition stated in the Sustainable Development Goals, the Government of Bangladesh is keen on making success in reducing child malnutrition in the country, especially in the rural areas. In this respect, it is imperative to understand what determines child nutrition and whether or not the child nutrition determining factors exert similar effects at different points of the distribution of child nutrition. By using data from three rounds of a nationally representative rural household survey, this paper finds that child’s gender, age, and birth weight, parents’ education and their health, household’s socioeconomic status, and availability of local health care facility are crucial in determining child nutrition. Furthermore, quantile regression results suggest that the effects of these determinants tend to vary across different points of the nutritional status. Nonetheless, parents’ health and birth weight seem to have strong influence which is consistent throughout the distribution of child nutritional status. Thus, the findings of this paper have policy relevance, which is worthy of the attention of the national and international development partners in Bangladesh.

Authors: P Matubber , A Sarker , A Roy , D Biswas , AK Paul
Published: January 2024

The effect of ovarian phase on oocyte quality in slaughterhouse material of cows was studied. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were aspirated from all visible follicles. COCs were graded on the number and intensity of the cumulus cells and the homogeneity of the ooplasm as A (4 – 5 layers compact cumulus with a homogeneous ooplasm), B (1 - 2 layers compact cumulus with homogeneous ooplasm having a coarse appearance), C (slightly expanded cumulus with irregular cluster ooplasm), and D (denuded oocyte or expanded cumulus, irregular ooplasm). The overall aspiration rate of COCs was 37.2%. The aspiration rate was significantly higher (P<005) in follicular (41.2%) than in luteal phase (28.6%). The percentage of grade A and B oocytes was significantly (P<005) higher in the follicular phase (20.4 and 28.6%) than luteal phase (11.1 and 22.2%). The proportion of grade A COCs in the indigenous cows was significantly (P<005) higher (29.0%) than in crossbred cows (8.3%). Ovaries with diameter of 2.0 cm or more had higher proportion (P<005) of grade A and B COCs than others. It is suggested that follicular phase of the sexual cycle had significant effect on COCs quality.

Authors: Farhana Irin , Alam Sayed Zoherul , Raisul Md Nurul Islam , Islam Zahirul
Published: January 2024

A cross-sectional, observational study was carried out the Department of Radiology and Imaging, Combined Military Hospital (CMH) at Dhaka Cantonment, Bangladesh, between March and August of 2021. A total of 75 female patients were included presenting with or without axillary swelling referred for ultrasound of breasts and axilla from various surgical and medical departments of the same hospital. B-mode ultrasonography was used as method of choice because of its noninvasiveness and availability in evaluating the axillary lymph nodes. Histopathological diagnosis was considered the gold standard for the diagnosis. The average age was 42.62±8.76 years. In conventional ultrasonography results, 33.3% were benign lymph node, 14.7% were reactive and 52% were metastatic lymph node. Based on the histopathological reports, lymph node involvement was detected in 18(24%) patients with benign, 13(17.3%) patients reactive and 44(58.7%) metastatic. The overall results revealed 79.5% sensitivity, 87.1% specificity, 89.7% PPV and 75% NPV. To summarize, conventional ultrasonography was moderately sensitive with good specificity for diagnosis of axillary lymph node. Further studies with a larger population and intra-operative axillary lymph node are recommended.

Authors: Mukthadira  , Yasmin Salma , Farzana MN , Islam Mahzabeen , Sharma Netay Kumar
Published: January 2024

A cross-sectional study was done to evaluate computed tomography (CT) scans as a diagnostic tool for distinguishing between benign and malignant gallbladder masses corroborated by histopathological findings. The study was conducted in the Department of Radiology & Imaging of Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, between January and December of 2013. The study included a total of 45 patients who were ultrasonographically diagnosed with gallbladder masses. Later, those patients underwent CT scans using a 16-slice helical CT scan machine. All CT scan findings were interpreted by the specialist radiologists, focusing on lesion involvement, contrast enhancement characteristics, and invasion into adjacent structures. Postoperative tissues were examined histopathologically, and these findings were correlated with the CT scan results. The study revealed a higher prevalence of GBC in females (73.33%) and in the age group of 40-60 years. CT scans indicated malignancy in 84.44% of cases, which was confirmed as adenocarcinoma in 88.89% of cases through histopathology. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CT scans for detecting malignant gallbladder masses were 90.24%, 75.00%, and 88.89%, respectively. For benign masses, the corresponding values were 75.00%, 90.24%, and 88.89%. The positive predictive value was notably high at 97.37% for malignant masses but lower at 42.86% for benign masses. CT scans demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of malignant gallbladder masses, corroborated by histopathological findings. The study underscores the utility of CT scans as an effective, non-invasive diagnostic tool for early detection and management of gallbladder masses, although caution is advised in interpreting benign results due to a lower positive predictive value.
