The present work is devoted to the investigation of the structure developments in as-spun amorphous poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) occurred as a result of heat mechanical treatments. The deformation behavior of as-spun amorphous poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) yarns subjected to simultaneous thermal and mechanical treatments has been studied. It was found that the applied tensile force simultaneously with the linear heating of the studied PET yarns strongly affects the samples deformation behaviour. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been used to study the structural rearrangements in the thermo-mechanically processed PET fibers occurred as a result of the treatment structural changes. Have been established dependencies between the parameters of the thermal deformation experiment and occurred in the samples structural changes.

External Proficiency Testing Programmes in Laboratory Diagnoses of Inherited Metabolic Disorders
Authors: Tan It-Koon , Gajra Bani , Lim Maria SF
Published: March 2023

Introduction: This paper shows the importance and value of external proficiency testing programmes in monitoring and improving a laboratory’s diagnostic skills. It reviews and documents the wide variety of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) encountered in the programmes organised by the Human Genetics Society of Australasia and the College of American Pathologists.

Materials and Methods: The programmes used actual patient specimens to assess a laboratory’s ability to provide diagnoses based on laboratory tests results and brief clinical information. Participating laboratory was also required to suggest additional test(s) to confirm diagnoses.
Results: The results of diagnoses on 116 samples were reviewed. Altogether 49 IMDs were encountered, including 26 organic acidurias, 16 aminoacidurias, 3 urea cycle defects, 5 mucopolysaccharidoses, and 1 each of mucolipidosis and purine disorder. Our report for 21 of the 116 samples (18.1%) deviated from the actual diagnoses. Deviations from the final diagnoses were recorded along with the reasons for them. The main reasons for the deviations were: the lack of standards for recognising metabolites of pathognomonic significance, absence of characteristic metabolites in samples collected during treatment, the presence of misleading unusual metabolites, inadequate clinical information, and inability to perform additional tests due to insufficient specimens.
Conclusions: The programmes provided a wide variety of IMDs, some of which we have yet to encounter in our patients. They also enabled us to learn about the varied biochemical manifestations at different stages of disease and the identity of previously unidentified metabolites. They enhanced our knowledge and experience and improved our diagnostic skills.

Retrospective Review of Eyes with Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration Treated with Photodynamic Therapy with Verteporfin and Intravitreal Triamcinolone
Authors: Fackler Tamara K , Reddy Shantan , Bearelly Srilaxmi , Stinnett Sandra , Fekrat Sharon , Cooney Michael J
Published: March 2023

Aim: To review the outcomes of eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treated with photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin and intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection.

Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of consecutive eyes with neovascular AMD that received an intravitreal triamcinolone injection within 1 week of their first PDT and had at least 6 months of follow-up. Eyes were retreated with PDT at 3-month intervals if angiographic leakage was present.
Results: Twenty-six eyes from 24 patients were identified. The mean visual acuity at baseline was 20/118 (median 20/112). The mean visual acuity decreased to 20/138 at 9 months (P = 0.24, n = 15) and to 20/174 at 12 months (P = 0.23, n = 8). The change in visual acuity from baseline was not statistically significant at any time point. The mean central foveal thickness by OCT measured 342 µm at baseline and decreased to 296 µm at 12 months (P = 0.31). Sixty-two per cent of eyes required no additional PDT at 12 months. Nineteen per cent of 26 eyes had a rise in intraocular pressure that was controlled with topical medication alone.
Conclusion: Photodynamic therapy with verteporfin combined with intravitreal triamcinolone injection in the treatment of neovascular AMD may be superior to PDT alone by decreasing visual loss and reducing the number or retreatments.

Community-associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Overview and Local Situation
Authors: Wijaya Limin , Hsu Li-Yang , Kurup Asok
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has emerged worldwide. In contrast to healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA), CA-MRSA isolates are usually susceptible to multiple non-beta-lactam antibiotics and cause a distinct spectrum of infections in epidemiologically disparate populations – in particular, cutaneous abscesses, necrotising fasciitis and necrotising pneumonia. They arise from a broader genetic background, and possess differing virulence genes. We aim to describe the distribution of different molecular subtypes of CA-MRSA among various regions and discuss briefly the implications of CA-MRSA from a local perspective.

Methods: Literature review of articles on CA-MRSA, focusing mainly on reports where the genetic background of isolates had been analysed using multi-locus sequence typing (MLST). Singapore data were obtained from the local CA-MRSA database.
Results: MLST analysis demonstrated the presence of epidemic subtypes of CA-MRSA within most geographic areas. In parts of the United States, community MRSA infections currently exceed those caused by their methicillin-susceptible counterparts. In Singapore, CA-MRSA infections are increasing, predominantly as a result of the spread of ST30 clones.
Conclusion: Available evidence suggests that the emergence of MRSA from the community is not going to be a transient phenomenon. Local guidelines for dealing with this phenomenon at both therapeutic and preventive levels are needed prior to the potential development of a situation mirroring that of meso-endemic HA-MRSA in local hospitals or CA-MRSA epidemics in parts of USA.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: The interesting topic of cutaneous and subcutaneous metastasis from rectal carcinoma is discussed using 3 cases.

Clinical Picture: The first case was a 70-year-old man with T3N2M0 rectal mucinous adenocarcinoma, who developed an inflammatory subcutaneous metastasis at the left scapula 2 years after anterior resection. The second case was a 51-year-old man with T4N2M0 splenic flexure mucinous adenocarcinoma, who developed metastatic disease including a subcutaneous secondary to the back. The third case was a 53-year-old woman who developed vulval recurrence 10 months after abdomino-perineal resection for a low T3N1M0 rectal adenocarcinoma.
Treatment: All underwent wide resection.
Conclusion: This entity is rare and usually signifies disseminated disease if found remote from the resection site and warrants a thorough metastatic work up. A high index of suspicion is recommended when encountered with unresolving skin lesions in cancer patients.

Constructing Multiple Choice Questions as a Method for Learning
Authors: Palmer Edward , Devitt Peter
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Many different strategies exist to try and encourage students to increase their knowledge and understanding of a subject. This study was undertaken to measure the effect of student-based construction of multiple choice questions (MCQs) as a stimulus for the learning and understanding of topics in clinical surgery.

Materials and Methods: The study was carried out at the University of Adelaide, Australia and had 2 components. Fourth-year students were required to provide a case study during a surgical attachment and half of the group was asked to supplement this with MCQs. These students were pre- and post-tested and the effect of the additional intervention (MCQ-construction) measured. Fifth-year students were polled on their preferred methods of learning before and after a learning exercise in which they were asked to undertake a case presentation and create some MCQs.
Results: The MCQ questions designed by the students were of a high standard and clearly displayed an understanding of the topic concerned. The 4th-year students in the MCQ construction group showed equivalent outcomes as the case study control group. Students initially ranked MCQ-construction amongst the least stimulating methods of learning, but after the exercise their opinion was significantly more favourable, although still much less than traditional learning methodologies (tutorials, books).
Conclusions: Construction of MCQs as a learning tool is an unfamiliar exercise to most students and is an unpopular learning strategy. However, students are capable of producing high quality questions, and the challenge for medical faculties is how best to use this initiative to the students’ advantage.

A Simple Instrument for the Assessment of Student Performance in Problem-based Learning Tutorials
Authors: Sim Si-Mui , Azila Nor Mohd Adnan , Lian Lay-Hoong , Tan Christina PL , Tan Nget-Hong
Published: March 2023

Introduction: A process-oriented instrument was developed for the summative assessment of student performance during problem-based learning (PBL) tutorials. This study evaluated (1) the acceptability of the instrument by tutors and (2) the consistency of assessment scores by different raters.

Materials and methods: A survey of the tutors who had used the instrument was conducted to determine whether the assessment instrument or form was user-friendly. The 4 competencies assessed, using a 5-point rating scale, were (1) participation and communication skills, (2) cooperation or team-building skills, (3) comprehension or reasoning skills and (4) knowledge or information-gathering skills. Tutors were given a set of criteria guidelines for scoring the students’ performance in these 4 competencies. Tutors were not attached to a particular PBL group, but took turns to facilitate different groups on different case or problem discussions. Assessment scores for one cohort of undergraduate medical students in their respective PBL groups in Year I (2003/2004) and Year II (2004/2005) were analysed. The consistency of scores was analysed using intraclass correlation.
Results: The majority of the tutors surveyed expressed no difficulty in using the instrument and agreed that it helped them assess the students fairly. Analysis of the scores obtained for the above cohort indicated that the different raters were relatively consistent in their assessment of student performance, despite a small number consistently showing either “strict” or “indiscriminate” rating practice.
Conclusion: The instrument designed for the assessment of student performance in the PBL tutorial classroom setting is user-friendly and is reliable when used judiciously with the criteria guidelines provided.

Published: March 2023

This study investigates the potential of locally available mosquito nets as an alternative material for sandfish ocean nurseries. Mosquito nets (~ 2 mm mesh) were designed into single (SL), double (DL), and triple-layered (TL) to approximate the conventional hapa (CH) with ~ 1 mm mesh normally used in sandfish ocean nurseries. The study was conducted in Maliwaliw island and in a cove in Buyayawon both located in Eastern Samar, Philippines. Results showed that TL had the highest juvenile survival (35.93 ± 10.56%) in Maliwaliw, which was significantly different (p < 0.05) from SL and DL. The DL design showed the highest survival (25.23 ± 17.15%) in Buyayawon by day 60, followed by TL (21.37 ± 3.11%), although not statistically significant. On the other hand, average growth rate was highest in SL in both sites where survival was also the lowest. Biomass, however, was the highest in DL in Buyayawon (1,014 ± 266 g m-2) followed by TL in Maliwaliw (925 ± 107 g m-2). Sandfish juvenile survival in DL and TL were higher than those in the CH in both sites suggesting that mosquito nets can indeed be used as an alternative material for rearing early-stage sandfish juveniles in floating ocean nurseries.

Published: March 2023

Este trabalho objetivou compreender, quais são as variáveis que garantiram o crescimento do turismo entre o Brasil e a Argentina entre os anos de 2008 a 2018, apesar da crise econômica. Para tanto, foram analisadas variáveis econômicas que impactaram diretamente no setor de serviços, e principalmente no turismo. Assim, foram correlacionadas variáveis econômicas, tais como: taxa de câmbio, desemprego e PIB – com os números do turismo da relação entre os dois países. A análise também constatou que, nos últimos anos, ambos têm tido interesse em avançar além do turismo bilateral, houve ações conjuntas para a promoção internacional de seus destinos, para isso, estes vêm apresentando atrações em conjunto e complementares, pois diante de suas culturas com peculiaridades distintas, ações conjuntas podem potencializar o interesse dos turistas internacionais. Conclui-se que, apesar da crise, os impactos do turismo entre os dois países não foram muito relevantes, de modo que a atividade se manteve contínua e crescente, o que mostra que a presença de um turismo fronteiriço bem estabelecido pode diminuir os impactos em alguns setores, como serviços turísticos, geração e manutenção de empregos, e criar oportunidades de investimento nesses países.

Synchronous pleomorphic adenoma in parotid gland and parapharyngeal space: a case report and literature review
Authors: Zahid Hira , Khan Imran Mohib
Published: March 2023

Synchronous pleomorphic adenoma in the parotid gland and parapharyngeal space are rare. We report a case of simultaneous pleomorphic adenoma in parotid gland and parapharyngeal space in a 65-year-old male presenting to the ENT outpatient department at Northwest General Hospital, Peshawar. The patient presented with a left parotid lump, intra oral examination of which revealed the left palatine tonsil to have been pushed medially. CT of the neck showed a completely separate lump in the left parapharyngeal space, and FNAC of the parotid lump was suggestive of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The superficial parotid lump was excised first, and the parapharyngeal growth was accessed intraorally and excised. Histopathology revealed both the growths to be pleomorphic adenomas. It is important to raise awareness of synchronous salivary gland tumours, which are a rare occurrence, to highlight its optimal investigation to ensure complete surgical excision, and appropriate management.
Beating Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) in Newborns, Infants and Toddlers
Authors: Siddiqui Tasmiyah , Doultani Payal Rani , Ashraf Tayyaba
Published: March 2023

Madam, Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19), a pandemic, has been a global concern and it is a highly contagious respiratory illness that has been fatal to around 6 million lives. Although everyone is prone to get infected by COVID-19, the fact that is often overlooked is that newborns, infants and toddlers are as likely to get COVID-19 as adults.
Babies  younger  than one year old might have a  higher chance to get COVID-19 than older children. (1) According to a case report by Alzamora et al. mother infected with COVID-19 can also, in sporadic  cases, pass the disease to her baby. (2) Infants are also at risk of getting infected shortly after birth, reason being exposure to sick caregivers.  Most newborn, infants and toddlers who fall prey to COVID-19 have mild or no symptoms engendering many new cases, but serious cases have also occurred leading to hospitalization. Hospitalization is associated more with the omicron variant than the delta variant. According to Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) by the Centrs for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hospitalization of U.S. infants and children aged 0-4 years was five times more during omicron predominance than during delta surge. (3)
To overcome such cases, CDC recommends COVID-19 vaccine and backs Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID-19 shots for children aged six month to five years. (4) These vaccines can prevent complications like Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome and Long COVID, which can be debilitating for young children. Vaccination can also protect children, which in turn minimize the possibility of transmission of disease to others. Furthermore, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also expanded the approval of the COVID-19 treatment Velkury (Remdesivir) to include pediatric patients 28 days of age and older weighing at least 3 kilograms with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing. (5)
With COVID-19 rearing its head again in Pakistan, vaccination of vulnerable populations like newborns, infants and toddlers must be an urgent step to stem the spread of virus because tomorrow may be too late. Besides, Remdesivir, which was previously approved for certain adults, can now be put to good use for treating infants as young as 28 days old so that progression in hospitalization and critical illness in pediatric patients of Pakistan be cut down.

Published: March 2023

The research aimed to find out the impact of intellectual humility on interpersonal conflicts and narcissism in teachers teaching at the university level in Rawalpindi. The data were obtained from 600 participants of age group of 34-45 through purposive sampling (297 males and 303 females). The research was quantitative in nature and used a cross-sectional survey design. The scales used to assess the study variables were the Comprehensive Intellectual Humility Scale (Krumrei-Mancuso, & Rouse, 2016), the Interpersonal Conflicts at Workplace Scale (Spector & Jex, 1998), and Narcissistic Personality Inventory-16 (Lapsley & Stey, 2011). The Pearson bivariate correlation, independent sample T-test, and linear regression analysis were used for data analysis. It was hypothesized that there would be significant impact of IH on interpersonal conflicts and narcissism and would be negatively associated with both variables. On the other hand, narcissism and interpersonal conflicts would be positively associated with each other. These hypotheses were supported in light of the results of the study. Moreover, gender differences were also assessed across study variables. Males possess higher level of IH, but no other significant gender differences were found in the other two aforementioned variables. An important aspect addressed in this study was the influence of adopting positive traits (IH) and dropping negative (narcissism) in the workplace and the interpersonal benefits of such healthy practices in the success of organizations.

IDENTITY REPRESENTATION IN THE SPEECH OF THE LAW
Authors: Diego de Almeida Willian
Published: March 2023

This work proposes a discursive-deconstructivist analysis of the Maria da Penha Law in relation to the representation of indigenous women, in order to trace the effects of discrimination that materialize in the law’s archive. We start from the hypothesis that the law marginalizes indigenous women, through a discursive device that promotes a process of nationalization of the identity/subjectivity of a subject considered peripheral. The work is anchored in the transdisciplinarity between: discursive perspective; Derridean deconstruction (2001, 2007); Foucauldian archegenealogy (2002, 2008, 2015); Anzaldúa’s (2005) and Mignolo’s (2003) theoretical-culturalist point of view. Results show that the text of the law mobilizes the effects of discrimination against indigenous women, as a discursive practice that insists on remaining in the fabric of social formation.
