Authors: Korneyev Igor A , Zasseev Ruslan D , Shevchuk Ilja G , Pelipejchenko Angelina A
Published: July 2018

Introduction. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can potentially disrupt male fertility; however, the prevalence data for STDs among men from infertile couples is controversial. Aim. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of STDs among men from infertile couples seeking medical assistance in an assisted reproductive technology clinic. Materials and methods. We retrospectively studied the medical records of 307 men (mean age: 35 ± 15 years) consecutively attending an outpatient reproductive clinic for infertility treatment. Duration of the infertile period varied from 4 to 228 months (mean: 38 ± 12 months). We collected urethral swab specimen to investigate the presence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma, and Ureaplasma species in 235 (76.5%), 232 (75.6%), 270 (87.9%), 301 (98.1%), and 300 (97.7%) men, respectively. Blood tests for syphilis, hepatitis B and C, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human herpesvirus (HHV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) were conducted in 229 (74.6%), 224 (73%), 227 (73.9%), 230 (74.9%), 233(75.9%), and 232 (75.6%) men, respectively, and statistical analysis of the data was performed. Results. Remarkably, all tests were negative in 94 (30.6%) men, and no patient had T. vaginalis or C. trachomatis infection. However, N. gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma, and Ureaplasma were detected in 1 (0.4%), 6 (2.6%), and 14 (4.7%) men, respectively. Syphilis, hepatitis B and C, HIV, HSV, and CMV tests were positive in 1 (0.4%), 2 (0.9%), 6 (2.6%), 1(0.4%), 177 (76%), and 133 (57%) men, respectively. Conclusions. The prevalence of STDs is high among men from infertile couples. Further studies are warranted to investigate the relationship between STDs and male infertility.

Medical and social rehabilitation following testicular prosthesis in post-orchiectomy patients
Authors: Shormanov Igor S , Shchedrov Dmitriy N
Published: July 2018

Aim. The aim of this study was to optimize indications and techniques and to develop the optimal timing for testicular prosthesis following inversion in adolescence considering the assessment of quality of life of patients at different times following the surgery. Materials and methods. We observed 70 patients with gonadal loss following critical ischemia (torsion) at ages 11-18 years (average, 15.5 ± 2.3 years). In total, 49 patients underwent joint replacement after orchiectomy due to torsion. In 21 patients, prosthetics were preceded by orchiectomy for testicular atrophy as a result of twisting. The interval from an acute episode to joint replacement ranged from 6 months to 15 years. Three techniques for testicular prosthesis implantation were applied: prosthetics with inguinal access without suturing the scrotal entrance (n = 14); prosthetics with inguinal access with suturing the scrotal entrance by the originally developed technique (n = 34); and a prosthetic scrotum (n = 22). Patient satisfaction was assessed based on the different outcomes of testicular inversion according to the originally developed questionnaire. Results. Suturing the scrotal entrance reduces the risk of implant migration in the proximal direction due to anatomical prerequisites. Scrotal access does not have this drawback but increases the risk of inflammatory complications. The esthetic result of prosthetics depends on patient’s age during orchiectomy. Older patients tend to have better cosmetic results. The most favorable results of prosthetics are noted at the time that has passed since the turn - no more than 3 years; all unsatisfactory results are noted at the time of more than 5 years since the twist. Testicular prosthesis increases social adaptation of patients after gonadal loss and improves their quality of life. Conclusions. 1. Testicular prosthesis is an essential stage of patient rehabilitation after an orchiectomy for inversion. 2. Prosthetic inguinal access by the originally developed technique is optimal from a technical perspective and provides the most physiological standing of the implant. 3. Prosthetics results directly depend on the period following the initial operation. 4. Testicular prosthesis complications can be minimized with the accumulation of knowledge and surgical experience and their rational prevention. 5. Assessment of patients’ quality of life illustrates the necessity of gonadal prosthetics for cosmetic compensation of organ loss and psycho-emotional and social rehabilitation.

Botulinum toxin type A in the treatment of bladder pain syndrome in women: initial results
Authors: Al-Shukri Salman H , Kuzmin Igor V , Slesarevskaya Margarita N , Ignashov Yuriy A
Published: July 2018

We present the results of botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) treatment in 49 women (aged 41-65 years) with bladder pain syndrome. Previously, all patients underwent oral and intravesical drug therapy in addition to hydrodistention of the bladder without significant clinical effect. BT-A at a dose of 100 U (20 points at 5 units) was injected into the bladder under general anesthesia. Treatment results were evaluated 3 months after the treatment using specialized questionnaires such as the Pelvic Pain and Urgency/Frequency (PUF) Scale, O’Leary-Sant Symptom Index and Interstitial Cystitis Scale, visual analogue pain scale (VAS), and urinary diaries. Remarkably, the treatment was effective in 46 (93.8%) patients. By the end of the third month after the BT-A injection, the PUF Scale score, the O’Leary-Sant Symptom and Interstitial Cystitis Scale, and VAS reduced by 41.3%, 32%, and 34%, respectively, and urination frequency decreased by 38.5%. Thus, BT-A is an effective method for treating bladder pain syndrome in patients who are refractory to other treatment methods. (For citation: Al-Shukri SH, Kuzmin IV, Slesarevskaya MN, Ignashov YuA.

Resumo: O diálogo epistolar de Ribeiro Couto com intelectuais brasileiros, portugueses e cabo-verdianos registrado entre os anos de 1920, período de sua mudança para Portugal, a 1963, ano de sua morte, revela a atmosfera de um importante momento da história das relações intelectuais e literárias no âmbito da língua portuguesa. Inserido no Movimento Modernista brasileiro, Couto se posicionou ativamente e na linha de frente da divulgação internacional das “novas” obras nacionalistas produzidas no Brasil a partir dos anos 1920, encarando-a como uma missão pessoal e um projeto complementar ao processo de autonomização modernista. O objetivo deste artigo é apontar o modo pelo qual Couto, valendo-se de sua posição diplomática no âmbito internacional, procurou promover diálogos, parcerias, reflexões e até articular colaboradores para a tarefa de introduzir ou projetar os novos escritores brasileiros e suas obras em outros contextos culturais.Palavras-chave: literatura brasileira; epistolografia; história intelectual; modernismo.Abstract: The epistolary dialogue of Ribeiro Couto with Brazilian, Portuguese and Cape Verdean intellectuals reveals the atmosphere of an important moment in the history of intellectual and literary relations of the Portuguese language. This dialogue was recorded between the 1920s, when Ribeiro Couto began to live in Portugal, and 1963, the year of his death. As a member of the Brazilian Modernist Movement, Couto was productive and in the front line of the international dissemination of “new” nationalist writings produced in Brazil since the 1920s. The author faced it as a personal mission and a complementary project in the process of modernist autonomization. The purpose of this article is to indentify how Couto, using his diplomatic position in the international arena, sought to foster dialogues, partnerships and reflections. Moreover, his initiative even contributed to gather collaborators for the task of both introducing and projecting new Brazilian writers and their works into other cultural contexts.Keywords: Brazilian literature; epistolography; intelectual history; modernism.

Resumo: O artigo se debruça sobre um conjunto de 27 cartas do intelectual português Augusto dos Santos Abranches enviadas ao escritor Salim Miguel entre 1952 e 1961. O que começa como uma troca de publicações e originais vai se tornando um diálogo sobre literatura, política e vida, que não eram, absolutamente, coisas separadas para esses homens. Abranches foi um ferrenho crítico do salazarismo, mudou-se de Portugal para Moçambique e depois para o Brasil, sempre com a PIDE em seus calcanhares. Generoso, ajudou a divulgar muitos outros escritores, especialmente os poetas da África lusófona, já em luta pela independência. Pretende-se, com a retomada das cartas, construir um perfil desse intelectual pouquíssimo lembrado pela historiografia literária, mas que colaborou com o movimento de resistência da época, fazendo literatura e difundindo a cultura.Palavras-chave: cartas; relações Brasil-África; literatura e política; Salim Miguel; Augusto dos Santos Abranches.Abstract: The article focuses on a set of 27 letters that the Portuguese scholar Augusto dos Santos Abranches sent to writer Salim Miguel between 1952 and 1961. What begins as an exchange of publications and originals, gradually becomes a dialogue about literature, politics, and life, which were, not at all, unrelated to both men. Abranches, who was a staunch critic of Salazarism, moved from Portugal to Mozambique and then to Brazil, always with PIDE behind his back. Generous as he was, he helped spreading the work of many other writers, especially poets from Lusophone Africa, who were already struggling for independence. We intend, with the resumption of the letters, to construct a profile of a scholar who was very little remembered by the literary historiography, but which collaborated with the resistance movement of his time, making literature and spreading culture.Keywords: letters; Brazil-Africa relations; literature and politics; Salim Miguel; Augusto dos Santos Abranches.

A.S. Byatt and the “perpetual traveller”: a reading practice for new British fiction
Authors: Flynn Nicole
Published: July 2018

While most readers enjoyed, or at least admired A.S. Byatt’s Booker prize-winning novel “Possession”, many are puzzled by her work before and since. This essay argues that the problem is not the novels themselves, but rather the way that readers approach them. Conventional reading practices for experimental or postmodern fiction do not enable the reader to understand and enjoy her dense, dizzying work. By examining the intertexts in her novella “Morpho Eugenia,” in particular two imaginary texts written by the protagonist William Adamson, this essay demonstrates how the novella generates a different kind of reading practice. Using Byatt’s metaphor, the essay recommends that readers become “perpetual travelers,” a global model of readership that will enable readers to navigate not only Byatt’s oeuvre and the realm of neo-Victorian fiction, but also the field of new British fiction and the crowded media landscape in which it resides.

Published: July 2018

Background: Drug utilization studies are an important part of rational use of drugs. Assessment of drug use pattern especially in developing countries is becoming increasingly necessary to promote the rational use of drugs. This study was planned to prospectively assess the drug utilization pattern in Ophthalmology outpatient department at KBN teaching and General hospital.Methods: After approval from Ethics Committee, the prescriptions of 1000 outpatients were analyzed using a predesigned form to record information from the OPD prescriptions. Mentioned WHO drug use indicators and additional indices were analyzed: Average number of drugs per prescription, number of encounters with antibiotics, percentage of encounters with injections, percentage of drugs prescribed by their generic names, percentage of drugs prescribed from the National Essential Drug List (NEDL), etc.Results: Prescription analysis showed that the average number of drugs per prescription was 2.6. The drugs were prescribed in the several forms, predominant dosage form been topical eye drops (69.58%) followed by tablets (11.98%), ointments (10.17%) and capsules (6.6%). The ‘dosage form’ was indicated for all of the drugs prescribed, the ‘frequency’ of drug administration was present in 96.5% of the drugs, and the duration of treatment for 82% of the drugs prescribed. Topical Antimicrobial agents were the most commonly prescribed drugs. followed by anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic, lubricants, anti-glaucoma drugs, etc. Percentage of drugs prescribed by generic name and from NEDL was 7.98% and 55 % respectively.Conclusions: The prescription writing errors were less, however, there was very low generic prescribing and inadequate information about the duration of therapy in many prescriptions. Generic prescribing can be improved. Duration of therapy should be mentioned in all prescriptions. It is essential that appropriate guidelines on the use of topical antimicrobials are required to ensure rational prescribing.

Published: July 2018

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage V attacks other organs such as heart that can cause cardiovascular disease (CVD). One of them is CVD caused by CKD stage V that is the kinetic segment of left ventricle. Cardiovascular disease occurs due to excess fluid and buildup of uremic toxin. Chronic kidney disease stage V can not be cured so it requires therapy that is hemodialysis (HD). Hemodialysis can reduce excess fluid, uremic toxin, and maintain electrolyte balance in stage V stage. Improved fluid and decreased uremic toxin can reduce the burden of the heart and strain so that blood supply to certain myocardial areas increases and the left ventricular kinetic segment increases. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of HD on left ventricular kinetic changes in CKD stage V patients in dr. Soebandi hospital in Jember. The research design used was quasi-experimental one group pretest-postest design. The sample was 30 patients. Respondents were determined by nonprobability sampling technique with purposive sampling method. The data used are primary data and secondary data. Data analysis using Wilcoxon test. Based on the results of the study, the distribution of the sample based on the age of the most in the range of 45-54 years, based on the sex obtained more women, based on the duration of hemodialysis obtained the period of most hemodialysis> 24 months and based on blood pressure before and after hemodialysis obtained patients with hypertension. Hypothesis test using Wilcoxon test got p-value (0.000). From the results of the analysis can be concluded that there is influence of hemodialysis on kinetic segment of left ventricle in patient of CKD stage V in dr. Soebandi hospital in Jember.

Atlantis: a Grain of Truth Behind the Fiction?
Authors: Rapisarda Massimo
Published: July 2018

The legend of Atlantis was almost certainly invented by Plato to promote the political ideal of his masterwork The Republic, while praising the heroism of his own ancestors. This paper suggests that, in assembling the story, Plato might have reworked the myth of the foundation of Egypt, attributed to divine invaders bringing agriculture and unknown technologies to the country. The key issue explored is the curious coincidence between the period of the alleged foundation of Egypt (according to traditional Egyptian sources) and some remarkable events that characterized the end of the Ice Age. Indeed, besides the sudden increase in temperature and the consequent rise in sea level, the period was also marked by the birth of agriculture and the appearance of totally new technologies in diverse Middle Eastern locations. The memory of these events would have been handed down through the myth of the foundation of Egypt and, through this, to Greek culture, enabling Plato to exaggerate the antiquity of his noble ancestors while embellishing the characteristics of the invaders. Such occasional technological leaps may also have occurred elsewhere in the world, for instance on the deltas of the Indus or the Yangtze, driven by the same change in climate that affected the whole planet. Although today there is no archaeological evidence of such events besides in the Middle East, the article suggests that the possible discovery of obsidian in a submerged site would be a strong indication of a local technological leap. To this end it examines, amongst suspected Mediterranean sites, some flooded islands in the Strait of Sicily, which, lying on the route to Pantelleria, may retain traces of ancient obsidian exploitation.

Elephant dung coffee (Black Ivory Coffee) is a special Thai coffee produced from Arabica coffee cherries consumed by Asian elephants and collected from their feces. In this work, elephant dung coffee and controls were analyzed using static headspace gas chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry (SHS GC–MS), and chemometric approaches were applied for multivariate analysis and the selection of marker compounds that are characteristic of the coffee. Seventy-eight volatile compounds belonging to 13 chemical classes were tentatively identified, including 6 alcohols, 5 aldehydes, one carboxylic acid, 3 esters, 17 furans, one furanone, 13 ketones, 2 oxazoles, 4 phenolic compounds, 14 pyrazines, one pyridine, 8 pyrroles and 3 sulfur-containing compounds. Moreover, four potential discriminant markers of elephant dung coffee, including 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-furfurylfuran and 3-penten-2-one were established. The proposed method may be useful for elephant dung coffee authentication and quality control.

If the social phenomenon is a reflection of nature's thought, our culture and value system, then the multidimensional crisis afflicting our society today requires us to re-examine our educational philosophy and practice at least the past 40 years.  We suffer all the bad influences of industrialization as part of the colonial process, precisely because we adopt the most advanced instrument, namely, mass schooling system with an obsession for quality-based standard as the magic spell. In this digital era, the effort of liberating society from the colonial, pioneer of independence as a condition of the proclamation of independence was a reform of the national education system. We should be scheduled deschooling society. This agenda includes the following: the paradigmatic shift from the school system to learning webs based Self Organized Learning Environment (SOLE); mass schooling to individualized, customized learning; of relevance to quality; of technical competence to the independence of the soul or creativity. This reform was way back on the three pillars of education philosophy of Ki Hajar Dewantara: family, community, and College. New demands upon the role of the teacher in the 21st century is changing.

The results of the PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) research in 2015 have shown that Indonesian students' learning outcomes in the field of reading literacy are still low. The ability of Indonesian students in the field of reading literacy of Indonesian students is ranked 65th with a value of 397. The development of technology has shifted some of the culture of Indonesian society, especially youth and students, from the traditional society to semi-modern society. The shift can be seen for example in the understanding and in the use of uncontrolled energy. Therefore, the authors develop teaching materials in the form of LKS literacy energy (Student Worksheet) which integrated the energy material in physics learning which later can be used in physics learning activities in high school. The design of LKS literacy energy learning is directed to increase the energy literacy of learners which includes context, knowledge, ability, and attitude. This study is a study followed up with product design, design validation, design trials, design revisions, application of certain clusters until they can be enforced in bulk. If implemented consistently, in the long run, we can expect the concept of energy in physics can contribute to the birth of Indonesians who have energy literacy as a pattern of life and culture in people's lives.
An Historic Caddo Burial at the Swen Farm Site (41BW65), Bowie County, Texas
Authors: Perttula Timothy
Published: July 2018

The Swen Farm site is on an alluvial terrace (220-230 ft. amsl) of the Sulphur River. When it was first recorded in 1970 prior to the enlargement of Lake Wright Patman the landform was an island in the reservoir, with the submerged channel of the river along the eastern and northern sides of the island, with artifacts of Archaic, Woodland, and ancestral Caddo period age exposed in several areas, and midden deposits were also present (Briggs and Malone 1970). In 1971, an early 18th century Caddo burial feature was discovered at the site by L. H. Head, Sr., of Texarkana, Texas. Larry Head, Jr., then a college student at The University of Texas, assisted with the excavation of this burial feature and the recovery of associated grave goods (Head 1972).
Artifact Assemblages from San Augustine County, Texas, Sites Recorded in 1939-1940 by Gus E. Arnold
Authors: Perttula Timothy
Published: July 2018

During the 1939-1940 WPA-sponsored archaeological survey of East Texas, Gus E. Arnold was particularly active in identifying and recording sites in San Augustine County, in the East Texas Pineywoods (see Perttula 2015a, 2017a), as well as sites along Patroon, Palo Gaucho, and Housen bayous in neighboring Sabine County (Perttula 2015b, 2017b), and sites in the Angelina River basin in Angelina County (Perttula 2016c). During his archaeological survey efforts, he collected substantial assemblages of ceramic and lithic artifact assemblages (curated by the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory at The University of Texas at Austin), primarily due to the fact that the surface of sites were well-exposed because of plowing, and he was encouraged to collect robust artifact assemblages by A. T. Jackson, the WPA survey director at The University of Texas at Austin. This article concerns the analysis of the recovered artifact assemblages from 14 different WPA sites in various parts of San Augustine County (Figure 1).

The 14 archaeological sites are situated in several different stream basins, on a variety of landforms (i.e., floodplain rise, alluvial terrace, and upland ridge), including the Attoyac Bayou basin (41SA1 on Attoyac Bayou; 41SA5, at junction of Little and Big Arenosa Creek; 41SA24 on Price Creek; 41SA9, 41SA15, and 41SA16, Arenosa Creek), Patroon Bayou in the Sabine River basin (41SA11 and 41SA32), Palo Gaucho Bayou in the Sabine River basin (41SA108), Ayish Bayou (41SA77, 41SA80, 41SA95, and 41SA96) in the Angelina River basin; and Hog-Harvey creeks (41SA85) in the Angelina River basin.

According to Arnold, these sites ranged from 1-6 acres in size, based on the surface distribution of artifacts as well as the extent of the landforms. In the case of the Hanks site (41SA80), midden deposits marked by mussel shells and animal bones were preserved there. The landowner had also previously collected two ceramic pipes, a celt, and a 33 cm long notched chert biface from the site. Burned and unburned animal bones were also noted on the surface of the Frost Johnson Lumber Co. site (41SA5); and burials associated with ceramic vessels and other material remains were noted when the site was first put into cultivation. Whole ceramic vessels from ancestral Caddo burial features had been reported to have eroded out of the Allan Howill (41SA24) and J. McGilberry (41SA85) sites. The Allan Howill site also had mussel shells and fragments of animal bone visible on the surface, and an area with ancestral Caddo burials (at least three with skeletal remains) was reported on the edge of an upland bluff there. Arnold also excavated several test pits of unknown size at the D. C. Hines site (41SA95), where he encountered archaeological deposits between ca. 60-76 cm bs. Arnold also noted “exceptionally large quantities of petrified wood, chert and flint flakes and chips cover the surface” of the D. C. Hines site.

The article characterizes respiratory tuberculosis in adolescents exposed to tuberculous infection. Exposure to tuberculosis in the family or when contacting close relatives makes the biggest contribution into development of the disease unless the patient is isolated from those exposed. Advanced and severe forms of tuberculosis with bacillary excretion are detected, compromising the life quality of adolescents. The main causes of late diagnostics are poor performance of TB services, primary medical units, low level of health education aimed at the increase of motivation to have planned medical examinations in the general population and to take relevant sanitary and hygienic measures in the sites of infection. Adolescents from the sites with bacillary excretion, and, first of all, if multiple or extensive drug resistant tuberculosis is detected, are to be considered a high priority group facing the risk to develop the disease with more frequent monitoring and deeper examination. In primary medical units, should any sings typical of tuberculosis be presented, it is sensible to add skin tests (Mantoux test and test with tuberculous recombinant allergen) to the minimum diagnostic procedures. Organizational, methodical and health education activities in the sites of infection are to be improved.
