Published: March 2023

Background: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) occurs in 1:5,000 births. It is a congenital disorder in the formation of the Müllerian ducts and therefore presents a primary amenorrhea, due to absence of vagina and uterus, with functional ovaries. Secondary sexual characteristics develop, having a normal female karyotype (46, XX). Women with the condition suffer from uterine factor infertility. The uterine factor is part of multifactorial infertility in 50% of cases; but, considered as the only responsible factor, its incidence is between 5-12%Objective: Report pediatric patient MRKH anomaly with description of management options.Case presentation: A 15-year-old female, Tanner IV breast development, absent vagina and with amenorrhea. Estradiol 56 pg/ml, FSH 5.7 mIU/ml, LH 10 mIU/ml, karyotype 46,XX. Pelvic ultrasound with ovaries present, uterine remains. Simple pelvic magnetic resonance: uterine remains, ovaries present, vaginal agenesis. Renal ultrasound and chest X-ray normal. Vaginoplasty surgery, removal of uterine remains. Current sexually active life is normal.Conclusion: The diagnosis of MRKH syndrome type 1 often occurs in late adolescence, when a young woman consults because she has not started her menstrual period. A diagnosis of MRKH Type 2 may be triggered by an absent period or a wide range of other symptoms or organ-related abnormalities, sometimes at an earlier age. There are surgical and non-surgical options for treating MRKH. Depending on your individual condition, you may benefit. These patients require comprehensive, interdisciplinary management to promote their full rehabilitation.

Covid-19 Pandemic and School Dropout Rates: Empirical Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Halid Ibnu Syukron
Published: March 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted all aspects of life, including the education aspect. The government then tackled the virus's transmission rate by issuing a policy to stop face-to-face learning activities and replace them with online learning activities. However, the inequality of information technology facilities has made it difficult for several regions in Indonesia to teach online. It more or less impacts the dropout rate, especially at the elementary school level. This study then aims to determine how much the Covid-19 pandemic affects the dropout rate in Indonesia at the elementary school level by considering other factors such as school facilities and infrastructure, children's academic abilities, and economic control variables. So far, no similar study discusses the pandemic's impact on the dropout rate measured quantitatively, especially in Indonesia. This study uses panel data analysis from 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2017 to 2021. The results indicate that the Covid-19 pandemic is associated with the dropout rate increasing at the primary school level by 36.4%.

Authors: Saputro Ardian Dwi , Aisyah Siti
Published: March 2023

Sustainable economic growth is the goal of every country in the world. However, the economic growth that occurs is not in line with the welfare of the population in the lower middle-income countries. The high level of income inequality between the upper and lower classes indicates that there are problems that need to be resolved. This study aims to determine the direction and magnitude of the influence of trade openness, tax revenue, digital economy, corruption perception index, and government spending on the level of income inequality in six countries classified as lower Middle-Income countries in 2017-2021, namely (Bolivia, El Salvador, Honduras, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, and Ukraine) using panel data regression. The results with the Fixed Effects approach show that trade openness and the digital economy have a positive effect on the income gap, while government spending has a negative effect on the income gap. Meanwhile, tax expenditures and the corruption perception index have no effect on the income gap. Based on the results of this study, the government in each country should be able to pay attention to the development and support the economic facilities of the people in the lower middle class with various assistances that can directly increase their income.

The empirical debate of foreign bank loans as an international intermediation transfer from industrialized to developing market economies, which concentrated on expenses and advantages, has continued. Our manuscript analyzes the determinants of US bank loans in selected Southeast Asian emerging markets. The most critical variables, based on the statistical approach built around the system-GMM, have a considerable effect on the growth rates of the origin and destination countries. Remarkably, the exchange rate significantly becomes a risk indicator which decrease the US bank flow. Finally, shock in the US economy has been transmitted to the Southeast Asian economies through foreign bank flow.

Background: Prematurity constitutes a source of morbidity and mortality neonatal. The objective of this study is to determine the place of the antenatal care in the prevention of a premature delivery.
Methods: It is an analytical retrospective study, type “cases-controls” realized at CHU GOB, on 01 January to 31 December 2014.
Results: The frequency of the premature delivery during the time of study was 6%. The risk factors significantly associated with the premature delivery were the primigestity, the primiparity and the antecedents of miscarriage. About the antenatal care, not followed pregnancy (p=0.01; OR=6.2; [IC 95% 1.3-29]), insufficient antenatal care (p<10-10; OR=6.7; [IC 95% 4.0-15]) and the antenatal care carried out in the basic health center (p=0.00002; OR=3,5; [IC 95% 1.8-6.5] influenced significantly with occurred of a premature delivery. While the realization of antenatal care 4 times and more and the realization of antenatal care at Universities Hospital Center protected the patients in occurred of a premature delivery.
Conclusions: The improvement of antenatal care’s quality and the medical infrastructures at basic health center, as well as the sensibilization to the population on the importance of antenatal care constitutes a priority in order to prevent effectively occurred of a premature delivery.
A study on role of low dose mifepristone in the management of fibroid in reproductive age group women
Authors: Rani Saba , Biswas Arati , Priya Shaloo
Published: March 2023

Background: Uterine fibroids are the most common benign uterine tumors occurring in 20-50% of women with maximum incidence between 35-45 years of age. Majority of fibroids are asymptomatic. When symptomatic, they present with abnormal menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, abdominal heaviness, pressure symptoms etc. It is the commonest indication of hysterectomy worldwide. Mifepristone, an antiprogesterone is being widely used as one of the medical managements in potential symptomatic patients (mostly 10-20 mg daily doses).
Methods: An institute based prospective study including 100 reproductive aged women with symptomatic single uterine fibroid, was conducted over one-and-a-half-year period. They were administered 10 or 25 mg mifepristone daily for 3 months depending on fibroid size. Clinical parameters were assessed at initiation and at the end of their treatment.
Results: Our results showed that mifepristone (both 10 and 25 mg) led to symptomatic relief, with 96% reduction in menstrual blood loss and reversible amenorrhoea in 87% of the patients. Intramural fibroids responded more than submucosal fibroids in terms of relief of menorrhagia and improvement of haemoglobin (Hb) levels, with similar reduction in fibroid volumes of both intramural and submucosal locations.
Conclusions: Low dose mifepristone is an effective and safe drug for the medical management of uterine myoma. Due to the benign nature of fibroids, conservative management should be considered wherever feasible. Several clinical trials using 5‑50 mg of mifepristone have been conducted over variable durations between 3-12 months but the exact dosage and treatment duration are yet to be decided.
Maternal and perinatal outcome in term singleton breech presentation at term pregnancy
Authors: Mehta Siddharth , Natu Neeta , Jain Shefali
Published: March 2023

Background: Breech presentation is defined as a fetus in a longitudinal lie with the podalic at the pelvic brim. There are three types of breech presentations: frank breech, complete, incomplete breech. The incidence of breech presentation decreases from about 20% at 28 weeks of gestation to 3-4% at term, as most babies turn spontaneously to the cephalic presentation. Studies have shown that the prevalence of term breech presentation varies globally. In India the incidence was shown to be, 2.1%, and in other Asian countries it was found to be around 2.9 -4.5%. Its incidence is around 25% at 28 weeks of gestation and it reduces to 4% by term. If patients are carefully selected, breech presentation can be delivered vaginally. However, the risk of neonatal complications still persists. sometimes the planned vaginal delivery has to be converted into emergency cesarean section. Such probability varies from 17.4 to 51%.
Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted in department of obstetrics and gynaecology department of SAMC and PGI, Indore, Madhya Pradesh from 1st April, 2021 to 31st October 2022. Ethical approval was taken from the institutional review committee. All term pregnant women (≥37 weeks) aged 18 years and above, admitted to the maternity and labor ward with the diagnosis of singleton breech presentation during the study period were included in the study. The patients were identified as having breech presentation on admission using physical examination and ultrasound. Those women who presented with antepartum hemorrhage, uterine rupture, fetuses with major congenital anomalies and intrauterine deaths were excluded from the study. After through exclusion sample of 70 people were included in study.
Results: During the study period, 896 deliveries were conducted in this hospital. Among them, 70 (7.86%) of the deliveries were singleton breech delivery. The age of the participants in the study ranged from 16 to 45 years, with a mean age of 27.07±8.56 years. Most of them had elective cesarean section, and few had emergency cesarean section. The most common indication for emergency cesarean section was footling presentation. Most of the new-borns were males, mean weight of new-borns 2.75±0.5 kg. 21.9% neonates required admission in neonatal intensive care unit, 2.8% mothers developed wound infection and 10% had post-partum haemorrhage.
Conclusions: Proper guidance, education and strict adherent to principles and steps of breech delivery, like monitoring taking up call for emergency c-sections, having proper NICU setup, trained doctors will help in reduction of complications. A protocol for the management of breech delivery and a regular training facility for junior health professionals to conduct assisted vaginal breech delivery are highly recommended.

Published: March 2023

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common complaint in most women of different ages that prompts seeking gynaecologic care. This study aimed to determine the type of endometrial patterns of the different age categories of women who presented as a case of abnormal uterine bleeding.
Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted on 72 patients who were presented with abnormal uterine bleeding and had endometrial biopsy done in our hospital. The data on their age, presenting complaints, and comorbidities of all the women were collected. The patterns of endometrial changes were studied and classified in accordance to the FIGO classification.
Results: Seventy-two women with abnormal uterine bleeding demonstrated a fluctuating pattern of ten endometrial pathologies distributed among five age groups in the range of 31 to 65 years. Maximum number of cases of AUB were noted in the age group of (36-50) years (56 cases, 77.7%). Most common observed histopathological pattern in this study was normal cyclical patterns including proliferative endometrium (29.16%) and secretory endometrium (22.22%).
Conclusions: Histopathological examination of the endometrium shows a clear-cut differentiation between physiological and malignancy changes in the endometrium. Hence, endometrial sampling is considered the golden tool for accurate analysis of the endometrium.

Authors: Mitra Soma , Mahajan Nidhi , Maheshwari Shashi L. Kabra
Published: March 2023

Background: Aim of current study was to find out incidence, causes and complications leading to maternal deaths in a tertiary care hospital and possible prevention of maternal deaths.
Methods: Individual records of all maternal deaths over a period of five years from January 2006 to December 2010 were studied and causes of death and avoidable factors in each case were studied.
Results: Major causes of maternal deaths were same throughout the study. The causes of maternal deaths were Hemorrhage (19.21%), Sepsis (15.76%), PIH (12.80%), Jaundice (8.37%). Direct obstetric causes contributed to 65.51% of cases. Indirect causes of maternal death contributed to 45.81%. Anemia alone accounted for 26.1% deaths.  Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) was 362.57/100000 live births. There were 31.03% referred cases and 44.8% cases were admitted to ICU. Unbooked cases accounted for 84.72% of maternal deaths and these were mostly uneducated.
Conclusions: Interventions for reduction of MMR are regular antenatal care, risk screening, skilled personnel at childbirth, good transport facilities, family planning services and safe abortion services. These facilities not only reduce burden on tertiary hospitals but also help in improving maternal prognosis.

Published: March 2023

Class III malocclusion is the most common form of malocclusion requiring orthognathic surgery. Hence, early diagnosis and intervention is often beneficial in reducing the severity of the problem. Protraction of the maxilla using a facemask accompanied by rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is the ideal treatment option for growing patients with Class III malocclusion and deficient maxilla. Idiopathic osteosclerosis is an asymptomatic, benign lesion that usually develops early in life. Its origin could be associated to reaction to inflammation or occlusal trauma, occurring at the time of teeth transition. Here, in this case report, we have showed the successful management of a Class III adolescent patient, diagnosed with idiopathic osteosclerosis, with face mask therapy and hybrid hyrax expansion appliance following Alt-RAMEC protocol. Also, we have showed the management of disturbed wound healing which might occur after palatal implant removal.

Published: March 2023

Myofibroblasts were first detected in the granulation tissue and low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma has now been recognized as a distinct entity. It has an indolent clinical course and distant metastasis is very rare. Hence surgical excision is the mainstay of the treatment. However, this tumor morphologically mimics other relatively high-grade soft tissue sarcomas, so distinguishing them is of utmost importance. Here we report, a 22-year-old young girl presented with neck pain and a slowly growing mass in the cervical paraspinal region. The patient was managed by wide local excision and the specimen was examined thoroughly. After considering all the features diagnosis of low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma was offered.

Authors: M Sreejisha , Shenoy M Shalini , Shenoy M Suchitra , B Dhanashree , M Chakrapani , Bhat K Gopalakrishna
Published: March 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to detect heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) among methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolated from healthcare-associated infections and identify staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) types. Methods: This study was conducted from February 2019 to March 2020 and included patients admitted in 4 tertiary care hospitals in Karnataka, India. Isolation and identification of MRSA were done using standard bacteriological methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done using Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion; macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B phenotypes were identified using the D test. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of vancomycin was determined using agar dilution. hVISA were confirmed by the modified population analysis profile-area under the curve test. SCCmec types and the Panton- Valentine leukocidin (pvl) gene were detected using multiplex polymerase chain reaction. Results: Of 220 MRSA stains, 14 (6.4%) were hVISA. None of the MRSA isolates was vancomycin-intermediate or -resistant and all hVISA were susceptible to linezolid and teicoplanin. The macrolide-streptogramin B phenotype was present in 42.9% of hVISA; 92.9% of the hVISA strains had vancomycin MIC in the range of 1–2 μg/mL. Majority of the hVISA and vancomycin-susceptible MRSA were isolated from patients with skin and soft tissue infections. SCCmec III and IV were present in 50% and 35.7% of hVISA, respectively; 14.3% of the hVISA harboured SCCmec V. Conclusion: The prevalence rate of hVISA among MRSA was 6.4%. Therefore, MRSA strains should be tested for hVISA before starting vancomycin treatment. None of the isolates was vancomycin-intermediate or -resistant and all the hVISA strains were susceptible to linezolid and teicoplanin. The majority of the hVISA were isolated from patients with skin and soft tissue infections and harboured SCCmec III and IV.

Published: March 2023

Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) is a triad of peri-auricular pain, ipsilateral facial nerve palsy and vesicular rash around the ear pinna. It is caused by reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) that lies dormant in the geniculate ganglia. It can be complicated by VZV encephalitis rarely. We report the case of an 8-year-old previously healthy boy who presented to a tertiary care hospital in Muscat, Oman in 2021 with fever, progressive left ear pain, vesicular rash around his ear pinna and left-sided facial nerve palsy. His course was complicated by VZV encephalitis where he was managed with intravenous (IV) acyclovir and IV corticosteroids. He improved significantly and was asymptomatic with a normal neurology examination at the 6-months follow-up.

Authors: Kovalenko Yuliia
Published: March 2023

The article reflects the issues of determining the possible institutional foundations of the information economy in the context of national economic interests. A theoretical study has been carried out on the concept of institutionalization and it has been proved that the institutionalization of the information economy in the context of national economic interests should be aimed at creating effective relationships between institutions in the field of production, distribution, exchange and consumption of information, which will allow us to derive a system of national economic interests. a new level is able to ensure the effective functioning of the economy as a whole. The concept of "institutionalization of the information economy" is defined as the process of defining and fixing economic norms, rules, behaviors and decision-making principles that regulate interaction to meet the needs of all members of the information institutional environment. All institutions of the information economy can be divided into institutions of management, support and development institutions. To date, a system of management and support institutions has almost been formed in Ukraine, and the system of development institutions requires further improvement. The balance of economic interests at the national, regional and local levels has an ambiguous structure.This can be a balance of both individual (the interests of the individual, the team) and common interests (the interests of enterprises, organizations, institutions), which is manifested in the most important principles for the derivation of institutional forms of national economic interests arising from the general prerequisites for the development of related goals, objectives, the effect of collective processes that systematically synthesize the country’s macroeconomics. It is proved that the economic interests of enterprises in modern economic conditions are characterized by a higher degree of uncertainty, rapid changes in market conditions, economic conditions, which puts forward new requirements for making effective management decisions. Thanks to the development of information technologies, a new economic virtual space is being formed, where new business conditions are defined that are different from traditional types of economic activity, new opportunities for enterprises appear, which leads to the formation of new ways of realizing economic interests. Attention is focused on the fact that the transition to a new degree of economic development requires an increase in innovative activity and a new approach to innovation, including economic and social features, activation of the innovative potential of enterprises and industries in the information economy. The analysis of trends in the development of the IT sector in the national economy is carried out, the main provisions are given regarding the importance of ICT in ensuring the national economic interests of society.

O imaginário e a hipostasia da Comunicação
Authors: Barros Ana Taís Martins Portanova
Published: March 2023

Este artigo busca revisar as definições e­ indefinições da noção de imaginário e simbólico e relacionar seus limites e seu alcance dentro da pesquisa em Comunicação. Equacionam-se as dificuldades de abordagem pela Comunicação da noção de trajeto do sentido que, herdada da Escola de Grenoble, embasa a Teoria do Imaginário. Verifica-se que a Comunicação não dá conta de estudar a catalisação de imaginários e o fabrico de imagens simbólicas presentes nos fenômenos comunicacionais, não só pela inadequação de um processo descrito em termos de emissor - mensagem - receptor, mas sobretudo pela suposta  autoevidência do imaginário e do simbólico como manifestos na linguagem, desembocando numa redução do imaginário aos seus sintomas sociais.

Lugares da crítica na cultura midiática
Authors: Soares Rosana de Lima , Da Silva Gislene
Published: March 2023

Desde a constituição do lugar da crítica como campo teórico, a partir do surgimento de diversos circuitos culturais de produções artísticas, discute-se muito sobre quem deve e/ou pode fazer a crítica, juízos e valores, finalidades e, mais especialmente, sobre formação de público. No caso específico do incipiente campo de pesquisa da crítica de mídia, tais questões também nos são postas, com destaque para o mesmo movimento pendular historicamente observado em outras instâncias de apreciação de produção cultural, aquele entre teorias abrangentes e análises particulares.

Authors: Berenguer Belén Zurbano , Vayá Irene Liberia , Bouchara Aicha
Published: March 2023

El acoso sexual callejero es una forma de intimidación y control propia del sistema patriarcal que constituye un atentado contra los Derechos Humanos y está presente de forma generalizada en las sociedades actuales. En esta investigación se parte de la perspectiva de género para comprender el acoso como manifestación de la violencia de género para profundizar luego sobre las representaciones comunicativas que existen, tanto en la comunicación mediático-tradicional como en formatos alternativos. Todo ello partiendo de la hipótesis de que este fenómeno existe y se manifiesta con esquemas discursivos similares en las sociedades de referencia en este estudio: Marruecos y España. A partir del análisis se ha evidenciado que los medios de masas presentan discursos más conservadores y simplistas frente a enfoques y estrategias más radicales y conceptualmente aperturistas de la comunicación alternativa, sobre todo basada en la comunicación 2.0.

Authors: Laurindo Roseméri , Leal Andressa
Published: March 2023

Consumidoras em potencial, as crianças formam um grupo que precisa ser analisado na sua interação com as mensagens da propaganda, por possuir um jeito próprio de compor fantasia e realidade. Com base no conceito de recepção como lugar de produção da comunicação, conforme

Jesús Martín-Barbero, a pesquisa focalizou como a criança entende as diferenças entre comerciais e programação da TV, assim como os elementos de atração, de retenção do produto, marca e personagem para refletir sobre a influência da propaganda. Dentre os métodos para levantamento

de dados, trabalhou-se com discussão de grupo e técnica projetiva.

Palavras-chave: Recepção; criança; televisão; propaganda; consumidor.

Based on Jesús Martín- Barbero´s concept for reception as the locus of production in communication, the present research aimed at seeing how children understand the differences between TV programs and comercials. By analyzing the elements that most attract them, identifying their product, character and brand retention,

we reflect over the influence of advertising on children. In order to gahter data, group discussion and projective techniques were used.

Pensamento comunicacional canadense: as contribuições de Innis e McLuhan
Authors: Martino Luiz C.
Published: March 2023

Resumo

O presente trabalho visa apresentar o pensamento comunicacional canadense. Sustenta a idéia de Harold Innis como pioneiro, entendendo que sua obra, mais do que uma simples teoria, comporta um programa de pesquisa (no sentido de Imre Lakatos). Define o núcleo duro do programa

innisiano, como: a) a ação da técnica nos processos de comunicação e b) a centralidade dos meios de comunicação para entender a organização social. Teses que estão na base de um projeto de incomparável valor epistemológico, visto que constituiriam uma possibilidade para o fundamento do próprio saber comunicacional.

processes and b) the centrality of media in the understanding the social organization. The theses are the basis for a unique epistemological project, as they it founded Canadian communication knowledge itself.

O presente artigo busca refletir sobre a relevância dessas novas estratégias de comunicação e branding, identificando suas principais características. Para isso, utilizamos o método de estudo de caso, o Google, ancorado nos métodos de pesquisa bibliográfica e de internet. A escolha foi intencional, posto que a organização é referência em sua categoria, mecanismo de busca, e reflete essa estratégia comunicacional contemporânea. Como resultado, as informações obtidas nos possibilitam compreender essa tendência de comportamento de marca que busca a interação com seus públicos.
Hacia una cultura de participación televisiva de las audiencias. Ideas para su fortalecimiento
Authors: Orozco Gómez Guillermo
Published: March 2023

Ante el creciente involucramiento de las audiencias clásicas y nuevas con los dispositivos mediático-tecnológicos y con diversas redes sociales, está emergiendo una “cultura de participación” diferente con, desde y a partir de las pantallas. Por eso, “la utopía” de los educomunicadores, de fortalecer una participación real, inteligente, autónoma y crítica de las audiencias frente a los productos mediáticos, tiene hoy más que nunca grandes posibilidades. Hacer realidad esa utopía, sin embargo, supone diseñar estrategias de intervención en los distintos componentes del proceso comunicativo, tanto desde la recepción y las audiencias, como desde la producción y la transmisión. Apuntar en esa dirección es el objeto de este texto.

Para tanto, foram descritos argumentos de estudiosos clássicos e contemporâneos que enfatizam tanto o lado emancipatório e criativo do consumo, visão bastante ecoada hoje em dia, quanto o olhar tradicional sobre práticas vistas como prorrogadoras de uma suposta sensação de vazio que as alimentaria.

A “criança difícil do século” – algumas configurações do esporte no velho e no novo milênio
Authors: Marques José Carlos
Published: March 2023

A proposta deste artigo é, por meio de breve revisão de alguns estudos sobre o esporte, verificar se a mercantilização da atividade esportiva, num processo intensificado no final do século XX, teria corrompido sua essência lúdica e secularizada. Discute-se o quanto atletas teriam abandonado o “amor à camisa”, e o esporte, sua prática romântica, em troca dos interesses de anunciantes e investidores.
