Authors: Khanam Mafruha , Akhter Yasmin , Sarkar Md Mahfuzul Haque , Fazyl Mohamed Mazih
Published: March 2023

Background : IUI is one of the most frequently and widely used therapeutic modalities to treat various forms of infertility. Achieving pregnancy after IUI is presumably due to increase in the number of highly motile spermatozoa with a high proportion of morphologically normal spermatozoa near the site of fertilization. The objectives were to compare the success rates of IUI with that of timed intercourse, compare the success rate of IUI according to the protocols, review methods used to time the IUI with ovulation, identify the factors to determine IUI outcome.

Materials and methods : This is a cross sectional prospective study conducted in Surgiscope Fertility Centre, Chattogram, Bangladesh over a period of 21 months from 596 patients who underwent IUI. Multiple variables were selected such patient parameters like age of woman and cause of infertility, parameters related to ovulation induction such as drugs used for COH, number of mature follicles and endometrial thickness and laboratory parameters such as post wash sperm count and type of IUI (Single or double IUI) which were recorded and statistically analysed.

Results : The minimum age for females and males were 18 and 19 respectively and the maximum age for females and males were 40 and 66 respectively. The mean age for females was 27.3 +/- 0.4 years and the mean age for males was 35.9 +/- 0.5 years. Another variable was endometrial thickness where the mean was 8.9 mm ± 0.2 mm and median was 8.5 mm. Furthermore, successful pregnancies also depend on total motile sperm count taken post-wash. The total motile sperm count was 29.8 million ± 1.5 million and median was 30 million. Pregnancy rate for total motile sperm count less than 10 million was 8.6%. For women over 28 and total motile sperm count <10 million, the success rate was only 2.7%.Most of the patients who underwent IUI were between the ages of 28-31, which was 175 (29.3%). The successful conception rate for females over the age 28 was 9.6% compared to the whole group at 12%. Among 596 patients, 71 patients (11.91%) had successful conceptions while 525 patients (88.09%) did not. There is a statistically significant relationship between number of IUI cycles completed and the rate of successful pregnancy. There is also a relationship between the number of inseminations and the success rate.

Conclusion : IUI is a successful contemporary treatment especially as a good first line invasive treatment for couples with unexplained infertility, male factor infertility, anovulation, female less than 30 years of age. Percentage of actual number of motile sperms appear to have an important impact on outcome. Success rate of conception was also found to be statistically significant in patients with appropriate endometrial thickness. Careful and criteria-based selection of patients along with ovarian stimulation seem to be the ideal model for achieving clinical success in IUI.

Authors: Ahmed Farid Uddin , Saleheen Misbahus , Uddin Mohammed Jashim , Paul Sujat
Published: March 2023

Background: Non-adherence in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) using Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) will not only affect the patient’s disease activity, but also the rheuma-tologist’s treatment decisions, and lead to higher health care costs. Poor adherence has been shown to be linked to different factors in different studies. There is paucity of study among the RA patients of Bangladesh in this issue. This study was conducted to evaluate the factors influencing adherence to DMARDs and its effects on disease activity in RA patient.

Materials and methods: It was a hospital based cross-sectional study. Total 107 diagnosed cases of RA, on DMRDs at least for 3 months were included from Rheumatology Clinics of Medicine and Physical Medicine Department of Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) from January 2018 to December 2018. Severity of RA was assessed by Disease Activity Score (DAS-28) while drug adherence was measured by Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) questionnaire. The Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ) was used to assess beliefs about the necessity of medication and concerns about it.

Results: Out of the 107 RA patients there was female predominance with a male to female ratio of 1:2.15 and mean age was 45.53±12.13 years with a range of 18-69 years. Non-adherence with DMARDs was found among 80.4% of cases. Non adherent patients had significantly higher disease activity as measured by DAS-28. Except belief about medication no other socio-demographic and disease related factors were associated with adherence level. Higher adherence was associated with stronger perceptions of necessity of treatment and less concerns about treatment.

Conclusion: Frequency of low adherence among RA patients was high and patients with lower medication adherence tended to have higher disease activity. The strongest relation with adherence was found to be beliefs about the necessity of the medication and it is modifiable. This provides hope to improve adherence.

Background: Chronic Kidney Ddisease (CKD) diagnosed with objective measures of kidney damage and function has been recognised as a major public health burden worldwide. Independent of age, sex, ethnicity and comorbidity, strong associations exist between cardiovascular diseases, mortality morbidity with CKD. Detection of CKD within the population is therefore a priority for health systems. To evaluate etiology, common clinical presentations and laboratory findings of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and to raise the index of clinical suspicion so to diagnose and treat CKD at the earliest.

Materials and methods : This is a retrospective observational study carried out at CMH Dhaka. We had collected documents of 100 hospital patients of CKD (Stage- 3,4,5) who were admitted at Nephrology Center, Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Dhaka from 1 July 2013 to 31 May 2014. Clinical and laboratory data were collected from case sheets and attached lab results.

Results: Out of 100 patients, 69.0% (n=69) were male and female were 31.0% (n=31). Male to female ratio was 2.2:1. Mean age was 45.64 years (±12.89 SD). Majority 37(37.0%) patients had diabetic nephropathy, 24(24.0%) had hypertensive nephropathy, 23(23.0%) had chronic glomerulonephritis. On the basis of creatinine clearance majority (50%) were CKD stage- 3. Mean urinary albumin- creatinine ratio were 634.4 mg/g (CKD stage- 3) 1965 mg/g (CKD stage- 4) and 2831.20 mg/g (CKD stage- 5). Eighty one percent (81%) of the patients had their hemoglobin level in the range of 8-9 gm/dl. Sixty five percent (65%) had the potassium within normal limits (3.5-5 meq/l) and 35% had hyperkalemia. We found anemia (86%), HTN (75%), oliguria (73%), pedal edema (70%), vomiting (44%), anorexia (30%), generalized weakness (28%), facial edema (24%), breathlessness (12%) were common clinical features.

Conclusion Diabetes, hypertension and glomerulonephritis are the most common etiological conditions of CKD. Most patients are anemic and a significant number of them develop hyperkalemia. At the time of diagnosis most of the patients are in advanced state with CKD stage- 3 or more with shrunken kidneys.

Authors: Cahyanti Dian , Syarif Syahrizal , - Septiawati , Suzanna Evlina
Published: March 2023

Background: Almost 95% of laryngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinoma. Most of them come from the supraglottic and glottic regions. Globally from 1990 to 2017, there was an increase in the incidence of laryngeal cancer by 58.67%. Patients with suggestive grievances of laryngeal cancer symptoms are usually advised to do a further examination. The use of multimodality diagnosis is helpful for the diagnosis of cancer. Diagnostic procedures in diagnosing laryngeal cancer can be made by history and physical examination, clinical (laryngoscopy), and supporting examination (radiology and biopsy). This study aims to determine the distribution of the demographic (gender, age, domicile, marital status, and educational level), clinical distribution (voice changes, respiratory disorders, pain, dizziness, cough, lump on the neck, and others), and modalities of diagnosis (anamnesis, clinical examination, radiology, and biopsy) in laryngeal cancer.Methods: Descriptive study and a routine data-based study was conducted by collecting data on cancer patients who were diagnosed with laryngeal cancer from 2003 to 2007 by the microscopic either in Dharmais National Cancer Hospital (DNCH) or other hospitals. The study sample was 53 out of a total of 68 cases of laryngeal cancer who had been diagnosed with malignancy histopathologically at DNCH or in other hospitals with epithelial or non-epithelial types with completed medical records. Results: The glottic region is the most common subsite, that is, 52.8%, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common histopathological type of laryngeal cancer. In most of the cases, either males or females presented with a change in the voice of 68.8% and 80% respectively. In 6 out of 12 cases have not been examined microscopically before, while 7.5%.of the cases have done the diagnostic procedure completely in DNCH. Conclusions: The most common subsite and histopathological type of laryngeal cancer is glottis and SCC. The most common clinical feature in both sexes is voice changes. Most cases have not been examined according to the standard diagnosis procedure completely.

Authors: Fauziyyah Raden Nabilah Putri , Komariah Maria , Herliani Yusshy Kurnia
Published: March 2023

Background: Skin cancer ranks fifth in the world. Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, ranks 23rd in Indonesia. Meanwhile, deaths caused by skin cancer are more than half of the number of new cases in Indonesia. Indonesia is a country that lies across the equator. It makes Indonesia have longer exposure to sunlight and a higher UV index. This study aims to describe the sunlight exposure level and protection behavior among nursing students.Methods: The samples of this study were 248 respondents from the Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Padjadjaran, who were recruited with a convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using a modified Sun Exposure Behaviour Inventory (SEBI). The data were processed using SPSS statistical software to determine behavioral descriptions and exposure to sunlight. Then, the result of the data analysis was performed with descriptive analysis (frequency and percentage).Results: The result of this study showed that most of the respondents (84.3%) always used longsleeved clothes to cover their shoulders. Most respondents (85.9%) used sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or more, and more than half of the respondents (68.5%) used sunscreen that can protect from Ultraviolet A (UVA) and Ultraviolet B (UVB). Most respondents (76.2%) never spent time under natural or artificial Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) to get the desired brown skin. More than half of the respondents (66.9%) had never sunbathed in the last 12 months. Conclusions: More than half of the respondents had adequate protective behavior against sun exposure and had moderate sun exposure. Using sunscreens with a higher SPF has shown a stronger preventive effect. Therefore, regular use of sunscreen can decrease the risk of skin cancer.

Authors: Faye Abhijeet Dhawalram
Published: March 2023

Background: Sexual problems are associated with almost all types of cancers, especially those of the genital regions. Sexual problems can occur due to cancer itself or due to its treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery) across all the stages of cancer and its management.Methods: The researcher reviewed the current research status of this less-discussed issue. 115 articles were identified using predefined keywords in Pubmed, Pubmed Central, Embase, and Google Scholar databases from January 1, 2000, to March 31, 2022. First, the articles were screened based on the abstracts followed by checking for the availability of their full-text versions. A total of 28 articles fulfilling the inclusion criteria were finally selected and analyzed. Results: Common sexual problems found in men were erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, dry ejaculation, and performance anxiety. On the other hand, women usually complained of reduced intimacy, lack of sexual desire, vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse, lack of sexual sensation, and reduced self-esteem for sexual activities. There is a significant prevalence of sexual problems with effects on marital relationships in cancer patients. Psychiatric disorders were found to be associated with a higher prevalence of sexual dysfunction ranging from 70 to 90% compared to the general population. Up to 50% and 40% of female and male patients with depression (a common occurrence in cancer) respectively may have sexual dysfunctions. Conclusions: Management of these problems is necessary, as it can be a contributing factor to the poor quality of life. Communication and discussion about sexual health from patients as well as the healthcare provider side are needed. The urgency of seeking a specialist’s help such as a psychiatrist or a sex therapist is also discussed. The researcher reviewed common sexual problems, causes, and treatment modalities, and suggested a few recommendations for making sexual health a part of routine cancer check-ups.

Published: March 2023

Background: Cancer patients are 3.5 times more susceptible to COVID-19 than patients without cancer. The increasing number of COVID-19 patients is likely to impact cancer patients’ quality of life (QoL) significantly. This study aims to analyze the QoL of cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional research design. In this study, 60 respondents were selected using the Consecutive Sampling Technique. The patient’s QoL was measured once by utilizing The World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL BREF) instrument. The QoL of cancer patients was shown in mean and standard deviation, and the correlation between respondent characteristics and QoL was analyzed with Spearman.Results: The results showed that the average QoL of the respondents in the physical health was 30.36 ± 7.72, the intermediate psychological was 25.88 ± 9.14, the average social relationship was 59.90 ± 13.04, and the mean environment was 56.7 ± 10.93.Conclusions: Respondents’ low QoL during the COVID-19 pandemic for all domains. This study implies the importance of paying attention to every domain of the QoL of cancer patients, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Multiple Bone Metastases as the Initial Presentation of Occult Breast Carcinoma in a Kidney Transplant Recipient
Authors: Kljajić Marina , Alush Guy , Bašić-Jukić Nikolina
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Due to their immunosuppressive medication regimen, solid organ transplant recipients have an increased risk of developing cancer, which might jeopardize their survival. Specifically, cardiovascular disease and malignancy are the two leading causes of death in kidney transplant recipients. In solid organ recipients, cutaneous malignancies, lymphomas, and Kaposi’s sarcomas also appear to be the most prevalent cancer forms. Thus, carcinoma of unknown primary origin is a clinical entity that diagnosing requires a high level of suspicion and thorough reviewing of laboratory, radiological, and clinical findings. Further, susceptible patients, such as immunocompromised ones, should merit a careful analysis of findings and detailed analytic rationale. We, therefore, present the following case report demonstrating the importance of follow-up of specific suspicious serum markers in transplant patients. To our knowledge, this study is the first case to report an occult breast carcinoma as the initial presentation in a patient with a kidney transplant.Case Presentation: In the following case, the primary indication for malignancy was elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a common finding in patients with chronic renal failure. Once noticed in a scheduled post-transplantation follow-up, further diagnostic tests, such as a broader serum panel, sternal puncture, and mammography, were ordered and returned normal. Subsequently, CT was ordered and revealed lytic and sclerotic bone changes. Afterward, serum tumor markers were ordered together with gynecological ultrasound and PET-CT. Finally, an iliac bone marrow biopsy confirmed a breast cancer diagnosis of unknown primary origin, causing the elevated ALP.Conclusions: This case report presents a uniquely difficult diagnostic challenge as an expected elevated value of ALP in a kidney transplant recipient was the only diagnostic clue for occult breast carcinoma. We discuss further the vigilance that physicians must exert when dealing with kidney transplant recipients and the implication of carcinoma of unknown primary in this population.

Authors: Ghani Muhammad Usman , Razzaq Aasia , Amjad Nauman , Fatima Ismat
Published: March 2023

Background: The treatment of medulloblastoma involves surgery, radiotherapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy. In radiotherapy, craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is prescribed, where two lateral cranial fields and one or two spinal beams are applied in CSI. Different multi-field techniques (coplanar and/or noncoplanar) are used to register the prescribed dose. The purpose of this study was to assess plan quality in terms of dose coverage of the spine with both photon and electron beam therapy and the sparing of organs at risks (OARs).Methods: Ten pediatric patients (ages 6 to 10 years) were immobilized in the prone position for simulation. The Clinical Target Volume (CTV) of the organ under treatment, Planning Target volume (PTV) of the organ under treatment, and OARs were contoured. Prowess Panther (v4.71) was used for dose computations. Two lateral parallel-opposed 6 MV photon cranial fields with the spinal beam(s) (either 6 Photons or 21 MeV electrons) were used in planning. Electron beams were added posteriorly on the spine with parallel-opposed cranial fields. The treatment plans were computed for 3600 c Gy in 21 fractions.Results: For comparable conformity number of electron versus photons beam plans (0.68 ± 0.41 versus 0.66 ± 0.47, is not significantly different at p < 0.05) and homogeneity index (1.22 ± 0.03 versus 1.25 ± 0.04, is significantly different at p < 0.05), the photon doses were higher for underlying OARs (heart, liver, and thyroid) and were lower for partially in-field organs (lungs and kidneys) compared to electrons.Conclusions: The underlying organs i.e., thyroid, heart, and liver receive a lesser dose in case of electrons, while partially in-field organs are exposed more compared to photons mainly due to the ballooning effect in electrons. The study shows that both electrons and photons can be used for CSI. However, the electron may be preferred due to its better sparing of underlying structures.

This study aims to determine the impact of e-commerce transactions on Value Added Tax (VAT) revenue which is a source of state revenue and development. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study research approach. Data collection methods were carried out by interviews, observation and supported by secondary data from the object of research. The data analysis used in this research is descriptive which is supported by quantitative data. The results of this study Based on e-commerce transaction activities, Indonesia has not been able to collect VAT tax on e-commerce transactions in an ideal amount. This can be seen from the value of e-commerce transactions which have increased significantly in the last five years, but tax revenue for e-commerce transactions is inversely proportional, namely experiencing a significant decline in 2021. The conclusion of this study is that the impact of e-commerce on tax revenue is considered sufficient good because tax revenue has increased but in 2021 it has decreased significantly. This significant decrease was caused by a lack of awareness and understanding of taxation by taxpayers who had not paid taxes optimally each year, e-commerce transactions that were difficult to detect from a business standpoint and socialization that had not been carried out thoroughly.

Violation of the Constitutional Law and International Provisions in the Dismissal of Justices and Judges from South Sudan Judicial Pillar
Authors: Jok Kuel
Published: March 2023

This study discusses the constitutional disputes, which arose after the President of South Sudan issued the Presidential decree dismissing 14 justices and judges from the judicial organ in the country. For the President and the Chief Justice, the dismissal complied with the constitutional provisions. On the other hand, the dismissed justices and judges argued that the dismissal violated the provisions of the national Constitution and the East African Community Treaty.

In this situation, the victims of the dismissal avoided the domestic remedies, the Supreme Court, which redresses the constitutional disputes and launched a lawsuit impugning the dismissal to the East African Community Court of Justice (EACJ), an international law court to adjudicate the case.

The study finds three reasons which persuaded the victims to avoid the domestic remedies in favour of the EACJ: first, the constitutional immunities protecting the executive from lawsuits; second, section 33(2) of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC), 2007, gives the Minister of Justice to stay the lawsuit; third, act of impunity in the executive organ. The research recommends that nationals as voters need to press the legislature to amend the Constitution and rescind immunities and section 33(2) of 2007. The act of staying the lawsuit from proceeding constitutes partiality of the executive organ to the judiciary and that frustrates the independence of the agency.
