Background and objectives: Data concerning the concentration of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and its functional polymorphisms in chronic kidney diseases (CKD) are conflicting. The present study aimed to evaluate the levels of MMP-9in children with end stage renal diseases (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) and to explore its association with MMP-9 polymorphism and vitamin D levels as an important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Methods: We studied 55 children with ESRD on hemodialysis and 18 healthy children served as controls. MMP-9 and vitamin D levels were measured by ELISA in serum of all patients and controls. Genotypes for MMP-9 polymorphism(C-1562T) were determined by RFLP for only 28 of the patients and all the controls. Results: There were insignificantly reduced MMP-9levels of patients vs. controls, however, there was significant increase in MMP-9 levels associated with CC genotypes for(C-1562T) polymorphism compared with CT genotype (p=0.01). We found that at MMP-9 base position-1562, the frequencies of the genotypes CC and CT in Children on HD were 71.4% and 28.6% respectively while all our controls were of the CC genotype. The alleles frequencies of C and T in patients were 85.7% and 14.29% as compared to 100% and 0%, respectively in the controls. Significant decrease in vitamin D was observed in children on HD versus that in controls (p=0.008). Serum MMP9 levels and age were variables that were independently associated with CVD. Conclusions: MMP9 genetic polymorphism (C-1562T) affects MMP9alterations in ESRD children on HD and vitamin D deficiency is common in our HD pediatric patients who require attention in accordance with current practice guidelines. They probably require supplementation with higher doses of cholecalciferol.

Background and aim: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the most common debilitating menstrual problems. The first therapeutic strategy for abnormal uterine bleeding is drug treatment. This study was, therefore, designed to determine the efficacy of megestrol, medroxyprogesterone, GnRh agonist, Levonorgestrol IUD and endometrial ablation on bleeding and also to evaluate the side effects of each methods in patients with menorrhagia who were admitted to the Shahid Sadoughi clinic of Yazd University of Medical Sciences. Methods and Materials: Based on an analytical study with consideration of patients' medical history, 89 patients with age range of 25-50 years old were included. Each patient, under gynecologist supervision, received one of treatments for three month. The evaluation of patients bleeding in response to treatment were performed using a check list filled by patients and the results were compared before and after treatment. Medroxyprogesterone acetate, megestrol, GnRh agonist (Triptorelin embonate), Levonorgestrol IUD and endometrial ablation was used for patients as their characteristics. Each treatment was conducted for a period of 3 months. Megestrol 40 mg per day on an ongoing basis, medroxyprogesterone from 15th day of menstruation for 10 nights and Diphereline 3.75 mm (manufactured by Aria Health) were administered every 28 days. Mean of bleeding before and after treatment and complications of conservative therapy were evaluated. Statistical analysis of the data were performed using paired t test and Wilcoxon tests on spss-19 software. Result: Mean of age was 41.2 (25-50). Megestrol treatment with a frequency of 27% (24 patients) and endometrial ablation with a frequency of 20.2% (18 patients) were the most used therapy in this study. All of these ways of conservative treatment can decrease bleeding significantly. The complications of these methods of treatment were not significantly different. (p=0.37).Satisfaction of women after 2-3 months of treatment were increasing because spotting is common in the first months of therapy. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that all five methods are good enough to treat menorrhagia. All these methods can replace hysterectomy, especially in this age range in which preserve fertility is of particular importance, and patients can also be protected from hysterectomy, a heavy surgery, and surgery and post surgery complications.

Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy that cause skin and muscle complications. The ethiology is not understood well yet. Released cytokines including interferon and interleukins are suggested to make inflammatory responses in the skin or muscle. Muscle weakness and skin lesions including heliotrope rash, shawl sign and Gottron's papules are the most common symptoms. A biopsy (muscle or skin) is always the most reliable method for diagnosis. Corticosteroids in association with immunosuppressive agents are used as standard treatment. The patient was a 30 years old woman who got involved with dermatomyositis for 10 years. She has been under therapy with Methotrexate, Prednisolon and Azathioprine until she came to us suffering from progressive skin lesions. Experiments and examinations were normal except the lesions and detected lipoatrophy. Because of immune cells infiltration and observations necrotizing vasculitis was diagnosed. After three month of high dose prednisolon and intravenous cyclophosphamide therapy the lesions vanished remarkable. True and immediate diagnosis gives physicians the chance not only to assess the best treatment but have adequate time to apply the procedure. However shortening the therapy and diminishing morbidity of the disease need more investigations and efforts.

De pé no chão e sandália na mão: experiências escolares de mulheres agricultoras
Authors: Sant'Ana Cristiane , Rabelo Giani
Published: July 2023

Este texto analisa as memórias escolares de mulheres agricultoras participantes do projeto de alfabetização de jovens e adultos, desenvolvido no bairro de Espigão Grande, município de Maracajá, SC, nos anos de 2002 a 2004, com ênfase à participação na escola multisseriada/isolada, ao abandono escolar e ao trabalho na agricultura na infância. Com base nas narrativas das mulheres agricultoras, procurou-se descrever as memórias do ingresso/não ingresso na vida escolar na infância, suas trajetórias escolares e os motivos do abandono escolar em função do trabalho na agricultura.  Utilizou-se da História Oral e da memória para analisar as narrativas dessas mulheres, que destacaram as vivências do período escolar na infância, o trabalho na infância e o sentimento de tristeza ao deixarem de frequentar a instituição de ensino. Tal análise possibilitou identificar que frequentar a escola representava apenas uma fase da infância na qual não era necessário efetuar os trabalhos na roça. Esse período foi rememorado com lembranças das brincadeiras, das dificuldades – como o trajeto feito a pé da residência até a escola –, do aprendizado escolar – como aprender a ler e a escrever –, e também da oportunidade de estar perto de outras crianças e vivenciar as experiências de outro ambiente. E para uma delas, que não frequentou a escola quando criança, as memórias do trabalho na agricultura para ajudar na subsistência familiar e da falta de professora na escola isolada/multisseriada no período do ingresso escolar na infância, aos sete anos de idade, destacaram-se como as mais significativas.
Contribuições da perspectiva marxista de Paschoal Lemme à educação de adultos
Authors: Ventura Jaqueline , Von Mecheln Morgana Zardo
Published: July 2023

Este artigo discute as contribuições de Pascoal Lemme (1904-1997) na história da Educação de Adultos (EA) no Brasil e destaca as contribuições teóricas e práticas desse intelectual em defesa da construção de políticas públicas de educação para todos. Respalda-se em autores como: Vanilda Paiva (1987), Moacir Gadotti (2013), Sonia Rummert (2016), Zaia Brandão (2010), além do próprio Paschoal Lemme (1955, 1988, 2004, 2015), entre outros. A partir de uma releitura histórica, considerando uma temporalidade que antecede os conhecidos marcos da educação popular da década de 1960, evidencia-se a luta de Lemme pela escola pública; a insuficiência e a precariedade histórica dos serviços educacionais direcionados à educação de adultos; e a recorrente negação do direito à educação para os trabalhadores. Conclui-se que a obra desse importante intelectual, fundamentada no materialismo histórico-dialético, é significativa e contribui para a compreensão e a superação dos nossos principais problemas educacionais, entre eles, as condições restritivas de acesso à escola à maioria da população brasileira. Inclusive, reflete-se sobre a possibilidade de erigir um novo ponto de partida para a Educação de Adultos ser assumida pelas redes públicas de educação. Além disso, ressalta que o pensamento sobre a EA não é homogêneo, havendo, portanto, uma disputa hegemônica entre as distintas visões de EA que fundamentam as atividades sobre a prática e a pesquisa científica no campo.
Jovens e adultos operários da construção civil: relações entre demandas de formação e trabalho
Authors: Koerich Marcelo , Laffin Maria Hermínia Lage Fernandes
Published: July 2023

O presente estudo busca analisar as demandas de formação – para o trabalho e para a escolarização básica – dos trabalhadores jovens e adultos que atuam no setor da construção civil da grande Florianópolis, a partir de seu perfil social e de escolarização. Parte-se do princípio de que a efetivação do direito à educação é fator essencial também para a efetivação de direitos trabalhistas, já que a escolarização é fundamental à compreensão das leis e normas que regem as relações de trabalho e tem influência na reflexão sobre a realidade concreta. Os referenciais teóricos têm como base o materialismo histórico e optou-se por uma abordagem de pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa de caráter exploratório, trabalhando com fontes de pesquisa bibliográficas e documentais, em que foram analisados dados referentes ao perfil dos trabalhadores da construção civil da grande Florianópolis, divulgados pelo sindicato patronal do setor entre os anos de 2013 e 2018. O perfil de escolarização aponta para a confirmação da indústria da construção civil como localização de demandas potenciais em EJA, enquanto o perfil social dos trabalhadores faz emergir a questão não só do acesso, mas também da permanência. Dados sobre a oferta de escolarização na modalidade EJA na região também indicam grande desproporção entre demanda potencial e oferta de vagas. Além disso, a constatada falta de articulação entre as vagas oferecidas em EJA e a Educação Profissional desperta grande preocupação, uma vez que o perfil social e de escolaridade dos trabalhadores aponta para a necessidade da formação profissional para além da elevação de escolaridade.
Representações de juventudes sul-coreanas: produzindo corpos femininos
Authors: Robaski Justina Bechi , Klein Carin
Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho é examinar as representações de juventudes femininas, atravessadas e constituídas por ensinamentos referentes às expressões culturais oriundas da Coreia do Sul, mais especificamente por meio da análise do k-drama Hello, My Twenties!. A investigação tem como referencial teórico os Estudos Culturais, em articulação com os Estudos de Gênero, aliados à crítica de autores/as pós-estruturalistas. A etnografia de tela é utilizada como recurso metodológico, ao pressupor que as falas, as imagens e as cenas não possuem um sentido único, mas que, ao invés disso, trazem compreensões plurais, dinâmicas e conflitivas. As análises das cenas nos permitiram apreender que as representações sul-coreanas, principalmente das jovens, atuam na construção das formas de posicionar os corpos, de viver as atividades de lazer, realizar os estudos, investir em relacionamentos amorosos, assim como uma forma normativa para viver o gênero e a sexualidade, a heterossexual.

Kawasan kota lama merupakan saksi sejarah Pemerintahan Belanda pada era Kolonial. Pusat pemerintahan Belanda terletak pada salah satu kota lama yaitu kota Surabaya. Hingga saat ini bangunan kolonial di kota Pahlawan ini masih dilestarikan dan dijadikan objek pariwisata kota ataupun yang sering disebut dengan bangunan heritage. Bangunan heritage saat ini sedang banyak dialihfungsikan sebagai tempat berkumpul yang desainnya disesuaikan dengan fungsi dan lingkungan sekitar. Penyesesuaian alih fungsi ini disebut dengan adaptive reuse, yang secara umum memodifikasi sebuah tempat untuk fungsi yang diusulkan atau disesuaikan dengan fungsi eksisting. Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang penerapan adaptive reuse pada desain interior cafe Bodrie 1934. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan studi kasus di Rumah Bodrie 1934. Pengumpulan data melalui observasi lapangan dan studi literatur dari beberapa penelitian terkait. Hunian Bodrie 1934 yang terletak di Jl Bodri No 9 Surabaya termasuk dalam daftar cagar budaya Pemerintah kota Surabaya. Bangunan tersebut awalnya hunian yang di bangun oleh orang Belanda dan saat ini di fungsikan sebagai café & studio. Alih fungsi bangunan tersebut merupakan strategi dalam pelestarian bangunan yakni adaptive reuse. Strategi ini meminimalkan perubahan pada unsur arsitektural yang lebih mengedepankan alihfungsi pada interiornya. Diharapkan penelitian ini dapat merubah pemikiran dan membuka wawasan pentingnya keberadaan bangunan heritage.

Objectives: To determine the factors influencing selfmedication among students of the University of Ghana (UG), LegonMethods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study among UG students and collected primary data from 396 students using a structured questionnaire through a systematic sampling technique. Data on the demographic characteristics, health seeking behaviour and knowledge on the implications of drugs were analysed using Stata 14.1 and chi-square test was used to determine the association between the dependent variable (self-medication) and the independent variables (factors influencing self-medication) under study.Results: The prevalence of self-medication among the students was 48.0% [95% CI 43.1-53.0]. The reasons associated with this were: the believe that the condition didn’t merit a physician visit (42.1% p=0.000), familiarity with treatment options (36.8% p=0.000),lack of time (14.7% p=0.000), lack of primary physician (6.8% p=0.000) and the lack of a valid insurance (1.9% p=0.070). Regardless the free medical services available to the students at the University’s health facilities, 128(67.4%) students would practice self-medication.Long hours of waiting (39.3%), quick relief from sickness (28.0%), distance to the hospital (18.0%) and the negative attitude of physicians (18.0%) were some of the reasons given. However, 22(11.6%) [95% Cl 07.7-17.0] have suffered some form of Adverse effectfrom self-medication.Conclusion: Self-medication is prevalent among students due to time constraints and unpleasant attitude of health care providers. The University Hospital in collaboration with Ghana Health Service should organize public lectures on self-medication and addressstudents’ challenges.
Development of Postgraduate Education at the 37 Military Hospital
Authors: Asumanu Edward
Published: July 2023

Postgraduate medical education outside the traditional teaching hospital promotes decentralization of postgraduate training. The 37 Military Hospital established one of the earliest postgraduate medical education outside a teaching hospital in Ghana. Prior to this, the hospital faced a problem of external staff training, long training duration, and the inability to train large numbers of doctors at a given period. The article describes the evolution, impact and challenges of establishing postgraduate education at the 37Military hospital.
The postgraduate medical education evolved out of the need to increase the specialist doctors output and retain doctors during training. It started in 2006 with four pioneer students and now has 173 students at various years of residency. The immediate clinical impact of the postgraduate medical education was the reduction in emergency mortality rate and an increase in emergency admissions in the first 2 years. Subsequently, an undergraduate training programme commenced with a current student turnover of 200 per annum. The foreign student pass rate in the national Medical and Dental Council examination for foreign trained graduates has consistently been well above the reported national pass rate per exam.
The challenges encountered were myriad but with administrative support a postgraduate unit was established for the postgraduate medical education at 37 Military hospital. In conclusion, the development of postgraduate medical education is feasible outside tertiary teaching facilities with a dedicated and funded postgraduate unit/college.

Authors: Ashong Joycelyn , Agbeno Evans Kofi , Anane -Fenin Betty , Ulzen-Appiah Kofi , Agyekum Aaron
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy without prior fertility treatment is rare and, although true incidence is unknown, about 250 cases have been reported in medical literature so far. Its diagnosis is commonly made during surgery as pre-operative diagnosis is difficult. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of spontaneous bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy in Ghana.
Case Presentation: We report on a 25-year-old G2P1A who had an exploratory laparotomy done on account of a ruptured right ectopic pregnancy. Examination of the contralateral tube at surgery, however, revealed an unruptured ampullary ectopic pregnancy and diagnosis was thus revised to a bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy. A right salpingectomy and left salpingostomy were carried out as she had future fertility wish.
Conclusion: Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancies present a number of diagnostic challenges pre-operatively and examination of the contralateral tube, especially for those cases requiring surgical intervention, cannot be over – emphasized in the management of tubal ectopic pregnancies in general.
Effectiveness of Surgical Skills Training for Surgical Wound Debridement using Animal Tissue as Simulator
Authors: Tabiri S.
Published: July 2023

Background: To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical skills training for wound debridement using animal tissue as simulator.Methods: House officers (HOs), Senior House officers (SHOs) and Medical Officers (MOs) were taught basic surgical skills during a 3-day intensive course at the Tamale Teaching Hospital Basic Surgical Skills Training centre. Wound debridement forms part of thetraining. Results of treatment of dirty wounds by participants were compared with those of a control group.Results: Eighty-three (83) patients with dirty wounds were randomised for treatment by the study group and the control group. General characteristics of patients in both groups were comparable: the median age was 25.5±13.1SD; sex and age was similar between groups. Wound infection was found in 3(7.9%) patients treated by simulation-trained participants and 18 (40%) patients in the control group p<0.0001. Simulationtrained doctors prescribed antibiotic for less than five days in 33 (86.8%), as compared to 2 (4.4%) in the control group (p<0.001). Mean hospital stay in the study group and control group was 1.55 ± 2.35 and 2.29 ± 1.16 days respectively (p=0.07). Conclusion: Surgical skills training for wound debridement, using animal tissue as simulator is effective. It is suggested that all HOs, SHOs and MOs should undergo similar training before undertaking any surgical rotation or before they start surgical residency.Simulation of surgical procedures using animal tissues, if incorporated at each level of the curriculum, would make significant impact.
