Published: October 2020

Introduction and objective: Over the last decade laparoscopic surgery has been popularized and developed to such an extent that it can be considered gold standard for many types of procedures in urology. Currently the majority of operations in urologic field can be performed by laparoscopy. This is because it is as effective as open surgery, but associated with less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and has better cosmetic result. The aim of the study is to evaluate the results of our experience of treating symptomatic renal cysts by laparoscopy.
Materials and methods: This prospective study was conducted from January 2015 to December 2017 in the Department of Urology in a single unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital. All the patients were admitted through out-patient department. Among them those who fulfilled the criteria were selected for laparoscopic surgery. All patients were diagnosed by ultrasonography and computed tomography to determine the Bosniak classification of the cyst & informed written consent was taken. Total five laparoscopic decortication of renal cysts were performed and the results of our experience were compared with data from published article. Pain and cyst recurrence were assessed during the follow-up.
Results: Our study described the results of 05 laparoscopic decortication of renal cysts. All procedures were completed successfully by transperitoneal approach, with no major intraoperative and postoperative complications. There was a placement of drain tube in one patient. The mean (range) operative duration was 68 (40–110) min, affected by the site and number of cysts decorticated. The mean post operative hospital stay was 1.8 (1- 3) days. All patients were symptom-free and no sign of recurrence during the follow-up.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic decortication of symptomatic renal cysts should be the standard of care and it is feasible with conventional laparoscopic instruments and gives a better cosmetic outcome.

Published: October 2020

Aims and objective : To evaluate the safety and efficacy of supracostal puncture for PCNL procedure.
Materials and methods : This is a retrospective study conducted in Department of Urology, NIKDU, Dhaka, from January 2013 to December 2016. A total of 408 patients underwent PCNL, of whom 56 (13.72%) had supracostal access. All procedures were performed under G/A. All were performed in a single setting & the data were analysed for indications, stone clearance rates and the complications associated with supracostal access. The indications for supracostal access were staghorncalculi ,uppercalyceal stone, pelvic stone , complex inferior calyceal stones , stones in upper ureter and high lying kidney. All supracostal punctures were made in 11th intercostal space and was made by the urologists under C- arm fluoroscopic guidance in prone position. After tract dilatation ultrasound lithotripsy was used for fragmentation of stones. The operative time , success rate, hospital stay and complications were evaluated.
Results : Single tract access was used in 44 (78%) cases, 12 (22%) patients required a second tract. Additional punctures were needed for staghorn calculi (4 out of 14). Overall 82% of the patients were rendered stone free or had a clinically insignificant residual calculi with PCNL alone and this increased to 96% with ancillary procedures. In patient with staghorn calculi, they were completely cleared in 78%. Overall complication rate was 26% which included hydrothorax in 5 (10%) patients,3 of which required insertion of chest tube. 2 (3.5%) patient developed haemothorax due to injury to intercostals vessels, 2 (3.5%) patient developed perforation of the pelvis, 2(3.5%) developed perinephric collection, infection/ urosepsis in 4(7%). The rest of the patients recovered successfully. Post operative stay ranged from 2 to 9 days.
Conclusion : Supra costal puncture is safe and effective option which give high stone clearance rate with acceptable complications. With a good understanding of the anatomy surrounding the upper pole of the kidney and attention to a few technical considerations during the procedures, access is very safe and effective.

Authors: Chowdhury Zulfia Zinat , Ali Mohammad , Islam AKM Mynul , Haque Salina , Bahar Tamanna , Kabir Amin Lutful
Published: October 2020

Background: Multiple Myeloma (MM) represents approximately 15% of all hematological malignancies. Despite the use of high-dose chemotherapy followed by stem cell rescue MM remains incurable at present. The goal is to control the disease as much as possible, providing the best quality of life to patients for the longest duration. Currently, CTDa (attenuated Cyclophosphamide, Thalidomide, Dexamethasone) is the best option of treatment as it is cost-effective, with no need for hospitalization with a good response.

Objective: To find out the symptomatic responses and toxicities of CTDa in Multiple Myeloma patients.

Materials and Methods: 25 patients of newly diagnosed MM patients were treated in the Haematology Department, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) from July 2016 to July 2017. The mean age of the patients was 54 years, Male female ratio was 1.5:1 and most of the patients were farmers. After induction of 4 to 6 cycles of CTDa all patients were followed up at 6th and 12th weeks. At follow up we evaluated improvement of weakness, bone pain, Hb%, ESR, monoclonal protein, ß2microglobulin, bone marrow plasma cells and serum calcium and albumin level. Adverse effects, such as peripheral neuropathy, thromboembolic events, hyperglycemia, constipation, rash, and somnolence were also assessed.

Results: Among 25 patients, complete response achieved only 13 patients (52%), where 20% and 16% of patients belonged to partial or no response respectively. The death occurred in 2 cases (12%).

Conclusion: CTDa is a gentle approach to treat an especially frail group of patients, since virtually all patients ultimately relapse.

Published: October 2020

Mediastinal tumors are slow growing tumors of rare entity. They usually affect middle aged people ranging from 30-50 years. When they grow, may compress surrounding structures and produce symptoms such as cough, chest pain, chest tightness and respiratory distress. The most common anterior mediastinal masses are thymoma and lymphoma. Posterior mediastinal tumors are mainly neuroendocrine tumors. Diagnosis depends upon proper clinical history, X-ray chest, CT scan and if necessary CT guided FNAC. Sometimes hormonal tests such as -hCG and AFP may be needed for Germ cell tumors. Treatment is usually by wide surgical excision and biopsy followed by chemo or radiotherapy. Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma are usually treated by chemotherapy. For proper management, widespread suspicion and diagnostic facilities should be available before the start of treatment.

A comparison between traditional ordinary least-squares regression and three methods for enforcing additivity in biomass equations using a sample of Pinus radiata trees
Authors: KC Mohan , Mason Euan G. , Bown Horacio E. , Jones Grace
Published: October 2020

Background: Additivity has long been recognised as a desirable property of systems of equations to predict the biomass of components and the whole tree. However, most tree biomass studies report biomass equations fitted using traditional ordinary least-squares regression. Therefore, we aimed to develop models to estimate components, subtotals and above-ground total biomass for a Pinus radiata D.Don biomass dataset using traditional linear and nonlinear ordinary leastsquares regressions, and to contrast these equations with the additive procedures of biomass estimation.Methods: A total of 24 ten-year-old trees were felled to assess above-ground biomass. Two broad procedures were implemented for biomass modelling: (a) independent; and (b) additive. For the independent procedure, traditional linear models (LINOLS) with scaled power transformations and y-intercepts and nonlinear power models (NLINOLS) without y-intercepts were compared. The best linear (transformed) models from the independent procedure were further tested in three different additive structures (LINADD1, LINADD2, and LINADD3). All models were evaluated using goodness-of-fit statistics, standard errors of estimates, and residual plots.Results: The LINOLS with scaled power transformations and y-intercepts performed better for all components, subtotals and total above-ground biomass in contrast to NLINOLS that lacked y-intercepts. The additive model (LINADD3) in a joint generalised linear least-squares regression, also called seemingly unrelated regression (SUR), provided the best goodness-of-fit statistics and residual plots for four out of six components (stem, branch, new foliage and old foliage), two out of three subtotals (foliage and crown), and above-ground total biomass compared to other methods. However, bark, cone and bole biomass were better predicted by the LINOLS method.Conclusions: SUR was the best method to predict biomass for the 24-tree dataset because it provided the best goodness-of-fit statistics with unbiased estimates for 7 out of 10 biomass components. This study may assist silviculturists and forest managers to overcome one of the main problems when using biomass equations fitted independently for each tree component, which is that the sum of the biomasses of the predicted tree components does not necessarily add to the total biomass, as the additive biomass models do.
Son Dönem Osmanlı Toplumunda Ortaya Çıkan Dindarlık Tartışmaları Bağlamında Mustafa Âsım Efendi'ye Göre Dindarlık ve Dinsizlik
Authors: TARİK Ramazan
Published: October 2020

Çalışmamızda, Osmanlı’nın son döneminde toplumda oluşan dindarlık tartışmaları, o dönem İslamcı dergilerde yayımlanan çalışmalar bağlamında ele alınacaktır. Öncelikle kavramın ortaya çıkışı tahlil edilecek olup daha sonra zikredilen çalışmalarda ortaya konan görüşlere yer verilecektir. Tanzîmât sonrası modernleşme sürecine giren Osmanlı toplumunda yetişen Mustafa Âsım Efendi’nin XX. yüzyıl başlarında dünyada gelişen dindarlık-dinsizlik kavramlarına bakışı, konuya ilişkin yazdığı kapsamlı iki makale üzerinden değerlendirilecektir. Pozitif bilimin her alanda hâkimiyetini ilan ettiği ve bilim karşısında inanca yer kalmadığı kanaatinin oluştuğu dünyada savaşlar, yenilgiler ve buhranlarla meşgul olan Osmanlı entelijansiyasının dindarlık-dinsizlik algısını seçkin bir aydın örneği üzerinden yansıtılacaktır. Öncelikle Mustafa Âsım Efendi’nin hayatı ve ilmi kişiliği hakkında kısaca bilgi verilecektir. Mustafa Âsım Efendi’nin dindarlıktan ne kast ettiğine değinilecek, dinsizlik, cehâlet ve küfür kavramlarına nasıl baktığına değinilecek, bu kavramlara bakışının dini ve sosyo-kültürel arka planına yönelik tespit çalışması yapılacaktır. Ayrıca dindarlık, deizm ve ateizm gibi güncel problemlerle XIX. yüzyıl sonu ve XX. yüzyıl başındaki modern dünyada yaşanan din-bilim çekişmesinin bir Osmanlı aydının zihninde edindiği yer arasında bağlantı kurulacaktır.
Terapia musical en rehabilitación: una revisión narrativa (2004-2014)
Authors: Ejemplo Autor
Published: October 2020

Las investigaciones en el campo de la aplicación de la terapia musical como herramienta terapéutica han aumentado en los últimos diez años. Las revisiones narrativas publicadas hasta la fecha muestran los efectos y la eficacia de la terapia musical como estrategia de intervención rehabilitadora. Sin embargo, no tratan la temática desde una perspectiva general y ninguna de ellas ha incluido el término “musical therapy” entre los términos de búsqueda de literatura, quedando excluidos, por tanto, los resultados de toda una serie de estudios que han contribuido a esclarecer la eficacia de la musicoterapia en rehabilitación. Por estas razones, el objetivo de este trabajo es remediar esta laguna y revisar los hallazgos de investigaciones publicadas en los últimos diez años que han quedado excluidas de revisiones anteriores. Específicamente, esta contribución pretende responder a las preguntas de investigación: ¿Qué tipo de trastornos se pueden beneficiar eficazmente de la musicoterapia? y ¿Qué efectos positivos tiene la musicoterapia en rehabilitación? Para responder a estas preguntas, se llevó a cabo una búsqueda electrónica de literatura en las bases de datos Academic Search Complete, Medline y Science Direct. La búsqueda incluyó el término “musical therapy” y ciertos criterios de inclusión, tales como los reportes sobre estudios empíricos redactados en que utilizaran música como estimulación terapéutica. Como resultado, se revisaron en total veinticuatro estudios, de los que se analizaron una serie de elementos, tales como los grupos de participantes (experimental vs. control), los resultados obtenidos y las limitaciones. Como conclusión, afirmamos, con cautela, que la musicoterapia puede contribuir a la rehabilitación de las funciones cognitivas, motoras y sensoriales del daño cerebral; a la rehabilitación de la esquizofrenia y de la depresión primaria; a la mejoría de los trastornos neurodegenerativos, de los trastornos del espectro autista, del abuso de sustancias y de otras patologías. Para el futuro, recomendamos superar las limitaciones metodológicas de estos estudios y la ejecución de estudios transculturales.

Published: October 2020

Sanayi devriminden sonra firmaların üretim ve hizmet sunma şekli günümüze kadar sürekli yeni yöntemler kullanılarak devam etmiştir. Firma yöneticileri bu süreçlerde dinamik olmaya önem vermişlerdir. Çünkü yöneticiler rekabet ortamında firmalarının varlıklarını sürdürebilmeleri için örgütsel olarak dinamik olmaları gerektiğinin farkına varmışlardır. Sağlık kuruluşları da birer işletme oldukları için çağın gereksinimlerine ayak uydurmak, hastaların ihtiyaç, beklenti ve isteklerini hızlı, zamanında ve yerinde karşılamak zorundadırlar. Günümüzde artık sağlık sektöründe dahi ciddi bir rekabet oluşmuş hatta sadece özel sağlık sektörü ve kamu sağlık sektörü rekabetinden öte kamu sağlık kurum ve kuruluşları dahi birbirleriyle rekabet haline girmiştir. Bu da hastaneleri örgütsel olarak dinamik olmaya zorlamaktadır. Bunu başarmak için sadece hastanenin çalışan personeli değil hastanenin iç ve dış kaynaklarını en esnek ve en hızlı şekilde hasta beklentilerine uygun hale getirmek için yöneticilere büyük görevler düşmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı da sağlık kurumlarının yöneticilerin çevresel ve sosyal sürdürebilirlik algıları ile dinamik yeteneklerinin arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Manisa’da yer alan sağlık kuruluşlarında görev yapan yöneticilerden tutum ölçeği ile veriler elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen bu veriler karma metot yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda daha çok genç yaşta olan, erkek cinsiyetine sahip ve 1-4 yıl arasında çalışan yöneticilerin dinamik yeteneklerinin daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca yöneticilerin sahip oldukları dinamik yeteneklerinin algılanan çevresel ve sosyal sürdürebilirlik algısına olumlu etkisinin olduğu saptanmıştır.
