Prevalence of First Rank Symptoms in Mania
Authors: Prasad Shobhit Kumar , Sethi Sujata , Karahda Aarti
Published: January 2022

Background:

First rank symptoms (FRSs) are seen frequently in mania. There has been a scarcity of data published in consideration with the Indian population on the prevalence of FRS in mania.

Aim:

The aim of this study is to explore the pattern of occurrence of FRS and assess association between the presence of FRS and severity of mania.

Subjects and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted in the psychiatry department of tertiary care institution of North India. Fifty patients selected by convenient sampling, diagnosed with mania as per Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) classification. Informed consent taken, semi-structured per forma used, present state examination-9 Hindi version used for FRS, Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) to assess severity of mania. Descriptive statistics were used. The Chi-square test was used for the comparison between the groups. Mann–Whitney U-test was used for the comparison between individual FRS and YMRS score.

Results:

Mean age FRS + was 35.32 years (±13.85), 71% were males; majority belonged to urban locality, married, residing in nuclear family, educated up to matriculation, and unemployed. There was no significant association of these variables with FRS. The Presence of ≥1 FRS was 62%; voices commenting on one's action (83.9%), voices arguing (77.4%), thought broadcast (38.7%), delusional perception (23.8%), thought withdrawal and thought echo (both 12.9%), made volitional acts, somatic passivity, and thought insertion (in 3.2% each). None had the presence of made feelings and made impulse/drives. Mean YMRS was 40.16 ± 7.91. No statistical significance found between FRS and YMRS scoring, except for thought withdrawal.

Conclusions:

The present study confirms FRS in substantial cases of mania. FRS in mania can lead to misdiagnosis of schizophrenia, leading to inadequate management, delayed appropriate treatment, and poor prognosis.
Radiomics applied to pulmonary infection
Authors: Zuo Liping , Wang Zengzhuang , Yu Dexin
Published: January 2022

Pulmonary infective diseases with high morbidity and mortality have contributed significantly to the socioeconomic burden worldwide. Despite advances in the technology for identification of pathogenic microorganisms, increased diagnostic accuracy for noninfectious pulmonary inflammation, and the availability of effectively individualized therapy, a major concern is the lack of optimal diagnostic approaches and biomarkers for the early stages of infectious disease. Radiomics, a concept first proposed in 2012, is a process that can extract quantitative features and high-dimensional data from digital medical images such as conventional chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and single-photon emission CT. The high-dimensional data and mineable features can be utilized to build descriptive and predictive models to quantify the inflammatory burden on the lung and understand lung function. Overall, radiomics now plays an important role in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary infection, with medical imaging being routinely applied in the clinical workup of pneumonia. Radiomics may also provide an opportunity to allow accurate diagnosis of pulmonary infection in the early stages, thereby decreasing mortality at a low cost.

OBJECTIVE:

This study was performed to analyze the clinical imaging manifestations of multiple organ and tissue invasion in patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), improve the understanding of AIDS-related KS, and provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Relevant data of patients who had been diagnosed with AIDS-related KS at several infectious disease hospitals in China were collected. The clinical manifestations and imaging and pathological data of 48 patients were sorted and analyzed retrospectively. Among the 48 patients, 45 were male and 3 were female, and their age ranged from 19 to 71 years.

RESULTS:

Of the 48 patients with AIDS-related KS, 37 (77.1%) patients had a CD4+ cell count of < 100 cells/μL. Thirty-eight of the 48 patients had lung invasion; among these 38 patients, 30 (78.9%) patients' images contained nodular shadows. Computed tomography (transverse pulmonary window and mediastinal window as well as coronal microcolor reconstruction) showed lung nodules of different sizes and vascular distributions; they were widely connected to pulmonary vessels, some were flame like/star like, and some showed the “fruit-hanging sign.” Seven patients with liver invasion showed nodules and intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, and three patients had esophageal, gastric, and intestinal invasion. One patient with thyroid invasion showed low-density nodules. One patient with rib invasion and one patient with maxillary invasion showed lytic destruction and surrounding soft tissue nodules. Two or more organs and tissue were involved in 44 patients.

CONCLUSION:

The main imaging manifestations in patients with AIDS-related KS with multiple organ invasion were pleomorphic and vascular nodules. AIDS-related KS was also accompanied by invasion of the lungs, liver, digestive tract, thyroid, ribs, and maxilla, and the imaging manifestations were mainly irregular nodules closely related to blood vessels.
Gadolinium Retention after Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Authors: Al-Muhanna Afnan Fahd
Published: January 2022

Over the past five years, several studies have reported deposition and retention of gadolinium in the brain after administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) during radiological procedures. Patients with renal insufficiency cannot filter gadolinium efficiently; however, gadolinium is also retained in the brain of some adults and pediatrics with no renal impairment. In the literature, data is mostly available from retrospective magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies, where gadolinium deposition may be indirectly measured by evaluating changes in T1 signal intensity in the brain tissues, particularly in the deep gray matter such as the dentate nucleus and/or globus pallidus. Many pathological studies have reported a direct correlation between T1 signal changes and gadolinium deposition in human and animal autopsy specimens, which raised concerns on the use of GBCAs, particularly with linear chelators. The association between gadolinium accumulation and occurrence of physical and neurological side effects or neurotoxic damage has not yet been conclusively demonstrated. Studies have also observed that gadolinium is deposited in the extracranial tissues, such as the liver, skin, and bone, of patients with normal kidney function. This narrative review describes the effects of different types of GBCAs in relation to gadolinium deposition, evaluates current evidence on gadolinium deposition in various tissues of the human body, and summarizes the current recommendations regarding the use of GBCAs.
Some characterizations of -Einstein solitons on Sasakian manifolds

The
$\rho $
-Einstein soliton is a self-similar solution of the Ricci–Bourguignon flow, which includes or relates to some famous geometric solitons, for example, the Ricci soliton and the Yamabe soliton, and so on. This paper deals with the study of
$\rho $
-Einstein solitons on Sasakian manifolds. First, we prove that if a Sasakian manifold M admits a nontrivial
$\rho $
-Einstein soliton
$(M,g,V,\lambda )$
, then M is

Świadkowie Jehowy w Wielkopolsce – część I (lata 1918–1950)
Authors: Miłosz Jan
Published: January 2022

Świadkowie Jehowy są obecni w Wielkopolsce od ponad stu lat. Każdy z podokresów z tego stulecia pełen był różnych wydarzeń dotykających zarówno całą ich wspólnotę, jak i pojedynczych jej członków. Początki w okresie międzywojennym – częściowo jako legalne stowarzyszenie, ale też jako grupa stykająca się z niezrozumieniem i z próbami delegalizacji. Okres okupacji hitlerowskiej – pełen tragicznych losów całej wspólnoty i poszczególnych wyznawców, którzy w obozach koncentracyjnych, nosząc opaskę z fioletowym trójkątem, byli ofiarami tego systemu. Okres powojenny to kolejny etap funkcjonowania wyznania Świadków Jehowy w Wielkopolsce. Do roku 1950, na którym kończy się I część niniejszego artykułu, Stowarzyszenie Świadków Jehowy działało w sposób legalny, choć już wówczas władze komunistyczne starały się poprzez działania administracyjne ograniczyć jego funkcjonowanie. Działania te uzmysłowiły Świadkom Jehowy, że ich krótka legalna działalność może zostać w gwałtowny sposób zakończona. Stało się to w połowie 1950 roku.

Jehovah’s Witnesses in Greater Poland — part I (years 1918–1950)

Jehovah’s Witnesses have operated in Greater Poland for over a hundred years. Each sub-period of this century was full of events affecting both the whole community and its individual members: their early days in the interwar period — partially as a legal association, but also as a group facing misunderstanding and attempts to ban its operation; the period of Nazi occupation — full of tragic events for both the whole community and individual members who fell victim to the system and wore purple triangle badges in concentration camps; post-war period — yet another stage of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ functioning in Greater Poland. This article details their history until the year 1950, until which point the Jehovah’s Witnesses association operated legally, though the communist authorities already tried to limit their functioning through administrative decisions. Those actions made Jehovah’s Witnesses aware that their short-lived legal operation might come to an abrupt end. And in the mid-1950 — it did.

Jak krakowski kupiec stał się wielkopolskim ekonomem
Authors: Lubierska Joanna
Published: January 2022

Od wielu lat obserwujemy, że genealogia znajduje się w kręgu zainteresowań coraz szerszej grupy ludzi, bez względu na status społeczny, wykształcenie oraz wiek, a pasjonaci rodzinnej historii stanowią obecnie największy procent wśród użytkowników archiwów. Artykuł jest próbą zaprezentowania warsztatu niełatwej pracy genealoga, na przykładzie poszukiwań autentycznej osoby ściganej listem gończym, która poprzez wejście w posiadanie cudzych dokumentów całkowicie zmieniła nie tylko tożsamość swoją, ale i potomnych. Podążanie jej śladami poprzez trzy zabory w XIX w., jest zajęciem nie tylko fascynującym, ale doskonale oddającym charakter tej pracy, wymagającej wszechstronności, dociekliwości, analizy zebranego materiału oraz detektywistycznego zacięcia. W artykule zostały wyszczególnione wykorzystane w kwerendzie źródła pochodzące w wielu różnych archiwów państwowych oraz kościelnych, z naciskiem na konieczność potwierdzania niekiedy jednego faktu różnymi dokumentami. Podkreślono też, jak archiwalia oraz internetowe bazy indeksacyjne tworzone przez pasjonatów genealogii (a więc osoby spoza środowiska archiwistycznego), wzajemnie się uzupełniają i mogą stanowić o zakończonych z sukcesem poszukiwaniach.

How a merchant from Krakow became a steward in Greater Poland

For many years now, genealogy has been the subject of interest for an increasing number of individuals with different social and educational backgrounds and of different ages, and at present the largest group of archive users are people who are simply passionate about their family history. The article is an attempt to demonstrate professional geologists’ methods of work and challenges they encounter, as exemplified by the search for a real person for whom an arrest warrant was issued. This person came into possession of someone else’s documents, and completely changed not only their own identity, but also the identity of their descendants. Following this person all around the three partitions of 19th century Poland is not only fascinating — it also perfectly reflects the character of a geologist’s profession, which requires versatility, an inquiring and analytical mind, as well as a flair for detective work. The article details the sources used during the search, which came from multiple ecclesiastic and state archives, emphasizing the need to confirm facts by using more than one source. It has also been noted that archival documents and indexed online databases created by genealogy fans (i.e. people from outside of the archival circles) are mutually complementary and can determine the success or failure of an investigation.
