Diagnostic Approach of Mesenteric Cyst in Children: A Case Report
Authors: Purnama Asep Aziz , Oswari Hanifah
Published: August 2024

Background: Mesenteric cysts are intra-abdominal masses that arise from obstructed lymphatic drainage within the mesentery. Early diagnosis can be challenging, as it is often difficult to recognize based solely on clinical findings. The diagnosis is frequently made following imaging studies or during surgery. Despite their generally benign nature, delayed diagnosis can lead to serious complications. This case report aims to share our experience on the diagnostic approach for mesenteric cysts in children.
Case: A 2-year-old boy presented with a 14-month history of slowly progressive abdominal distension and signs of bowel obstruction, including weight loss. Abdominal ultrasound revealed thin-walled, well-demarcated, septated fluid sacs consistent with a cyst. Abdominal CT-Scan showed massive ascites filling the intraperitoneal cavity and pushing the intestine upward along the thickened mesentery, causing bowel obstruction. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cyst lymphangioma derived from mesentery. The cyst was successfully excised via laparotomy, and histological examination confirmed it as a cystic lymphangioma.
Discussion: Our diagnostic approach focused on exclusion of differential diagnosis for abdominal distention in children, including ascites, abdominal tuberculosis, mesenteric cysts, and intra-abdominal masses. The absence of constitutional symptoms and lack of response to anti-tuberculosis therapy made it an unlikely diagnosis. While the CT-scan suggested ascites, the ultrasound results suggested a mesenteric cyst. Despite its large size, a complete excision of the cyst was successfully performed via laparotomy.
Conclusion: The nonspecific nature of mesenteric cysts often delays diagnosis, making abdominal ultrasound an essential initial imaging modality for patients suspected of having this condition.

Legal Certainty Over Ownership Certificates of Building Buildings of Apartment Units Based on Law No. 20 of 2011 Concerning Apartment Houses. 20 of 2011 on Flats
Authors: Sariani Ni Luh Wiwik , Sihotang Erikson , Saputra Komang Edy Dharma
Published: August 2024

Legal certainty in property ownership is crucial for protecting the rights and interests of property owners. This study examines the legal certainty provided by ownership certificates for flats under Indonesia's "Law No. 20 of 2011" (UURS). It also explores the legal implications of constructing flats on land with building use rights, a status that differs from full ownership rights. Using a normative research method, the study analyzes relevant laws, regulations, and academic literature to understand how legal frameworks govern flat ownership and ensure the legitimacy of ownership certificates. The findings reveal that ownership certificates for flats confer private ownership of specific units and related common areas, but legal challenges arise when flats are constructed on land with building use rights, especially concerning the renewal of these rights. The study underscores the importance of continuous legal oversight and clear legislative guidelines to maintain and strengthen legal certainty over ownership certificates. Additionally, it highlights the potential legal risks and uncertainties that flat owners may face if the underlying land rights are not properly managed or renewed. The study concludes that while ownership certificates offer significant legal protection, the dependence on building use rights for the underlying land introduces potential vulnerabilities. Future research should explore the legal and practical implications of the expiration and renewal of building use rights, the impact on flat ownership, and alternative legal frameworks that could provide greater security for property owners.

Published: August 2024

Physics material is often material that is difficult for students to understand because of its abstract concepts, one of which is in the material of electric and magnetic fields that discuss the motion of cyclotrons in connecting theoretical concepts and practical applications. Cyclotron motion is accelerated by an electric field that is influenced by the Lorentz force on the combination of electric and magnetic fields. This paper is made with the aim to analyze and visualize the electric field and magnetic field around the cyclotron motion particles using Python animation. In this study, a helix-shaped trajectory is used to represent the movement of electron particles. The animation developed depicts the electric and magnetic field vectors moving around the helix trajectory. In running the particle trajectory animation, numerical equations are involved. The involved numerical equations are second-order ordinary differential equations. This research not only provides theoretical insights into the electrostatic and magnetostatic properties of electron particles but also provides effective visualizations for further education and research. The resulting animation facilitates to enhance the understanding of the concept of how electric and magnetic fields interact and move in the context of electron particles moving in a helix trajectory, opening up opportunities for further exploration in the development of knowledge related to cyclotron motion that is often difficult to understand only through theoretical approaches.

Authors:   Phd, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania,, Alexandra-Lucia Prof. Dr. Pop
Published: August 2024

The current study aims to identify the factors that have a significant impact on the company's performance and may influence its future development. The data collection was done through a personalized questionnaire, which was applied to 216 clients of beauty salons in Cluj-Napoca. Through computed descriptive statistics, the most purchased beauty services were hairdressers, cosmetics, and manicure / pedicure. Clients who earn less money buy more beauty services compared to those who earn more. I used multiple regression analysis to identify which factors (satisfaction, repurchase, recommendation) influence a company's performance and what is the long-term impact. Thus, only consumer satisfaction and repurchase influence the company's performance. The repurchase action has a greater impact than the level of customer satisfaction. In the long run, beauty salon managers must consider, on one hand, the increase in the level of customer satisfaction and, on the other hand, for loyal customers, the implementation of personalized sales strategies.

This study seeks to discover persuasive strategies used to communicate or address certain issues that are addressed during a speech, specifically climate change speeches. The speeches that were used in this study were recorded videos of Yeb Sano, Barack Obama, and Gina Lopez that were uploaded on the internet. By examining those videos thoroughly, we dissected every part using the framework of analysis by Bitzer (1992) which composes the key elements of classical theoretical tradition including The Five Canons of Rhetoric, Ethos, Pathos, Logos, Figure of speech, and Oratory. After analyzing it using this tool, we concluded that more technicalities come with writing an effective speech. Using all those analysis frameworks and techniques we have discovered that a lot of aspects come into play in creating a persuasive speech. Using the Framework of Analysis by Lloyd F. Bitzer we have delved into the realm where persuasiveness of language that are manifested through the following parameters; first is the classical rhetorical tradition which consists of the five cannons of rhetoric and a few more which are discussed individually in the following chapters below. We also opted to use Colaizzi's method of data analysis to explore the array of different responses of commenters from those recorded videos. Using the thematic patterning of Colaizzi, the following findings were aspects of the effectiveness of speech were highlighted, we found Seven factors that contribute to the effectiveness of a persuasive speech. With the help of the same patterning, we have also discovered four factors that contribute to or make the speech to be ineffective.

Review of lists and recommendations for interchangeability of medicines across selected European countries
Authors: Pejčić Zorica , Topić-Vučenović Valentina , Miljković Branislava , Vučićević Katarina
Published: August 2024

Generic substitution has been introduced in the healthcare systems of many countries to reduce the costs and ensure the continuity of drug market supply. Common and country-specific strategies on this topic have been presented for several European countries, as well as for the Republic of Serbia. The factors that need to be considered when assessing the interchangeability of medicines may be related to the medicine or the individual patient. Particular caution is required with narrow therapeutic index drugs, drugs with non-linear pharmacokinetics, antiepileptic drugs, medicines with prolonged release formulations, medicines administered in a specific way or with a medical device. Factors such as the different appearance of the medicines, excipients, packaging, indications, but also the patient's condition, age, concomitant diseases, pregnancy, hand function, vision, ability to swallow, and the patient's attitude towards the alternative medicines should also be taken into account. When substituting two generic medicines, it should be noted that those medicines may not be bioequivalent, since bioequivalence is confirmed between a generic medicine and a reference (usually original) medicine, and thus pose an additional risk to the patient's safety. Some countries have opted to form lists of interchangeable medicines and/or detailed guidelines regarding interchangeability to assist healthcare professionals in making decisions on drug substitution.

Published: August 2024

The Comet assay is a highly sensitive and rapid method for detecting DNA damage at the level of individual cells. It measures single-stranded and double-stranded DNA breaks, alkali-labile, incomplete excision repair and cross-linking sites. A major advantage of the Comet assay is its applicability to both proliferating and non-proliferating cells, and it can be performed on all types of eukaryotic cells. The basic principle of the alkaline Comet assay is to lyse the biological membranes to release proteins bound to the DNA, followed by a short-term electrophoresis at a pH above 13. Through this process, the DNA fragments migrate and form a comet-like shape, which is visualized by staining with a DNA-binding fluorescent dye. The extent of electrophoretic migration is proportional to the amount of DNA damage. Key advantages of the Comet assay include sensitivity-the assay can detect low levels of DNA damage, versatility-it can be used with a small amount of test substance, speed-results are usually available within 24 to 48 hours, and broad applicability-the method is suitable for numerous purposes, including molecular epidemiology, occupational exposure studies, environmental biomonitoring, antigenotoxicity assessments and clinical research. Overall, the Comet assay provides valuable data for a range of scientific and clinical fields, making it a versatile and powerful tool for assessing DNA damage.

Previous studies have clearly linked the pandemic with signs of depression, stress, anxiety, and suicide thoughts, as well as with excessive internet use. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the available scientific findings regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and internet addiction in adolescents. Having insight into the scientific literature on COVID-19, mental health, and internet addiction, we have concluded that during the COVID-19 pandemic time spent on the internet increased due to reduced social activities, which consequently led to internet addiction and thus to psychological distress, increased loneliness, and depression in adolescents. Early intervention is essential to reduce internet addiction and preserve the mental health of adolescents, especially in conditions of increased social stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Staphylococcus aureus virulence factors and their role in biofilm-associated infections
Authors: Božić Dragana
Published: August 2024

Although Staphylococcus aureus colonises the skin and mucous membranes in approximately 30% of healthy individuals, it is also an important pathogen, primarily due to its arsenal of virulence factors that contribute significantly to its ability to cause a variety of infections. These factors include surface proteins that promote adhesion to host tissues, as well as enzymes and toxins that damage host cells and tissue. Important virulence factors such as protein A, which binds to antibodies and evades recognition by the immune system, and various exotoxins such as Alpha-toxin and Panton-Valentine leukocidin, which cause cell lysis and tissue destruction, play a crucial role in pathogenesis. The ability of S. aureus to form biofilms on medical devices further increases its persistence and resistance to therapy. Biofilms are structured communities of bacterial cells that are enclosed in a self-produced polymeric matrix and that adhere to biotic or abiotic surfaces. Biofilm-related infections caused by S. aureus, such as infections of medical devices (catheters, prosthetic joints, heart valves, intravascular catheters) and human tissue (chronic rhinosinusitis, chronic wounds, endocarditis and osteomyelitis), are a significant concern in medical settings. Understanding these virulence mechanisms is crucial for the development of targeted therapies and preventive measures to effectively combat S. aureus infections.
A case report of Hennessey-induced urticaria in a healthcare centre in suburban Africa
Authors: Ashinze Patrick , Ajao Mayowa
Published: August 2024

This case report explores the unprecedented manifestation of generalised urticaria consistently affecting specific body surfaces in a 25-year-old female patient following Hennessy consumption. The patient's medical history aligns with existing literature implicating alcohol as a potential trigger for urticarial symptoms. While the pathogenesis of mast cell activation due to alcohol remains elusive, presented findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge. The case underscores the importance of recognising alcohol as a potential aetiological factor for urticaria. This unique presentation of generalised urticaria prompts clinicians to consider alcohol-induced urticaria in their differential diagnosis. This case report contributes to the evolving understanding of urticaria pathogenesis, urging continued exploration into the complex relationship between alcohol consumption and urticarial pathogenesis.

Pain and anxiety during childbirth are significant concerns during labour, especially in first-time mothers. This can increase labour time, increase stress hormones and affect the condition of the mother and newborn. This study aimed to determine trends in the number of publications on labour pain interventions, the number of citations and the direction of future research topics. The research method applied in this study was Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) which uses 158,201 scientific articles or proceedings sourced from the Dimensions database. Articles were reviewed by using the VOSviewer application. The results of the research revealed that the number of publications on the topic of labour pain intervention had an upward trend, the number of citations on the topic of labour pain intervention had increased. Network visualisation on the topic of labour pain intervention provided information to find newness on topics that were not yet connected, there were 4 clusters reviewing it from co-occurrence, overlay visualisation on the topic of labour pain intervention provided a trend towards future research topics, density visualisation on a topic that was still rare. The conclusion from the results of this research is that it contributes to the development of a research roadmap on labour pain interventions.
COVID-19 led to an increased online search interest for "urticaria"
Authors: Malgotra Vikas , Sharma Sunakshi , Kaur Jaspreet
Published: August 2024

Background/Aim: Google Trends is a powerful tool for health information access and disease surveillance, including COVID-19 data forecasting. Cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 include urticarial rash, which is multifactorial and may indicate a better prognosis. Aim of this study was to analyse the search queries for the term "urticaria" during the six years period (2017-2022) and assess the relationship between relative search volume (RSV) and a global rise in COVID-19 cases. Methods: This study examined search queries for "urticaria" from 2017 to 2022, exploring the relationship between RSV and global COVID-19 cases. Data on "urticaria" search volume in various countries were collected using Google Trends. Microsoft Excel and correlation analysis were used to analyse the data and investigate the association between search volume and monthly COVID-19 case rise. Results: During 2017-2019, the mean RSV for "urticaria" was 69.9 ± 10.1, which increased to 84.1 ± 8.6 during 2020-2022. The difference in means was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The mean RSV in 2022 (94.3) was the highest among all years studied. The increase in RSV from 2020 to 2022 moderately correlated (r = 0.56) with monthly COVID-19 case rise (p < 0.001). Nicaragua showed the highest search interest, while Africa, North America, Asia and Pacific, the Middle East and Europe had low search interest. Conclusions: This study identified a significant increase in search volume for "urticaria" during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nicaragua had the highest search interest, while English-speaking countries displayed low interest. Language variation, cultural differences and COVID-19-related health concerns may influence public interest in urticaria. These findings can aid public health officials in understanding public health concerns and tailoring effective health communication strategies.
Nutrition and dietary intake of adolescent girls in Indonesia: A systematic review
Authors: Musfira Musfira , Hadju Veni
Published: August 2024

Adequate food and nutrient intake in adolescence is key to optimising adolescent nutritional status. Previous systematic studies that have been conducted on adolescents have generally found that Indonesian adolescents consume inadequate amounts of protein, fruits and vegetables. Aim of this study was to analyse most recent nutritional status in Indonesian adolescent girls analysed by region (urban-rural). The study was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. Two hundred thirty-nine articles were found, then 15 articles met the inclusion criteria and narrative analysis. Articles were assessed against a critical appraisal tool. Adolescent girls had varied energy and macronutrient intakes of calories (908.25 - 2125 kcal), protein (24.16 - 55.7 g), fat (21.89 - 64.29 g), carbohydrate (128.89 - 258.6 g) and fibre (3.88 - 4.9 g). The intake of adolescent girls based on residents (urban and rural) was found to be different. Urban adolescents had higher energy intake (1398.77 - 1815.57 kcal) with protein (41.42 - 80.81 g), fat (64.29 g) and carbohydrate (231.26 g). Rural adolescents had energy intake (1250.2 - 1365.8 kcal) with protein (36.21 - 65.42 g), fat (46.49 g) and carbohydrate (207.15 g). Micronutrient intake of adolescent girls found iron 2.64 mg, zinc 2.09 mg and vitamin C 71.75 mg intake in urban adolescent girls and 979.65 mg in rural adolescent girls. Snacks and fast food were frequently consumed, with frequency > 4x/week for urban (37.7 % snacks, 98.5 % fast food) and rural (46.2 % snacks, 93.5 % fast food) adolescents. Twenty-eight percent of adolescent girls tended to skip breakfast. Macronutrient and micronutrient intakes of adolescent girls were less than the nutritional adequacy of 70 % energy, 50 % protein, < 50 % fat and 86 % carbohydrate and were found to differ between adolescent girls in urban and rural areas.
