Published: January 2019

Background: The hyperuricaemia in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been explained to be a component of the metabolic syndrome which reflects insulin resistance. Gestational huperuricaemia was found to be significantly associated with a high rate of maternal and foetal complications along with proteinuria and hypertension. Aims of this study were to evaluate the serum uric acid levels in Bangladeshi women with GDM in their second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital from July 2013 to June 2014. Pregnant women, in their second and third trimester, attending the outpatient department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Department of Endocrinology were enrolled by purposive sampling technique. GDM was diagnosed on the basis of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) as defined in WHO criteria 2013.

Results: Out of 172 participants, 86 had GDM (case) and 86 were normoglycemic (control). The mean age of GDM and control groups was 28.6±3.2 years and 27.3±3.1 years respectively. The BMI was 26.4±1.5 kg / m 2 and 26.3±1.3 kg / m 2. In this study we found serum uric acid levels in GDM and without GDM were 4.47±0.42 mg/dl and 4.48±0.41 mg/dl respectively (p>0.05). Serum uric acid level in GDM group was significantly (p<0.001) higher in third trimesters (4.48 ±0.41 mg/dl) compared to those without GDM (3.52 ±0.74 mg/dl).

Conclusion: There was distinct alteration of serum uric acid level in GDM compared to normal pregnancy. Estimation of serum uric acid levels might be incorporated in every GDM cases for prevention of complications. Birdem Med J 2019; 9(1): 55-58

Published: January 2019

Background: Bleeding from esophageal varices in cirrhosis is an emergency condition. Esophageal varices band ligation has shown better results in terms of variceal obliteration as well as having fewer side effects like ulceration, perforation and stricture formation.

Methods: This observational study was conducted at the gastroenterology department of BIRDEM general hospital, from September 2014 to March 2015. Subjects were eligible if they had a diagnosis of cirrhosis based on history, physical examination, biochemical parameters and presence of esophageal varices in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. All patients were tested to determine the cause of liver cirrhosis. All patients under-went upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after consent. Esophageal variceal ligation was done at appropriate situation and patients were followed up later on. SPSS 23 was used for statistical analysis.

Results: The sample size was 69. The cumulative mean age was 55.58±14.462 years (range: 20-90), with gender-based mean age of 54.76±15.704 years for males and 57.22±11.739 years for female. Mild portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) was found 31 (44.9%) patient and severe PHG 36 (52.2%). Patients were followed up for mean period of 8.52±3.6 months. Variceal obliteration was achieved in 25 (36.2%) patients, while 06 (8.7%) cases developed re-bleeding during the study period and this type of patients were managed by other modalities or combination therapies. Recurrence of varices occurred in 13 (18.8%). 25 (36.2%) patients reduction of varix size occured after esophageal variceal ligation (EVL), 32 (46.4%) required second session and 12 (17.4%) required more than second session (Table-2). Thirty nine (56.5%) patients experienced minor adverse events like GI discomfort (retrosternal pain or dysphagia), while severe adverse events were noticed in 13 (18.8%) patients. Fundal varix was found among 8 (11.6%) patient on follow up endoscopy and GAVE found in 6 (8.69%) patients. All patient developed PHG during follow up endoscopy.

Conclusion: Band ligation eradicates esophageal varices with less complications and a lower re-bleeding rate, but at the same time eradication is associated with more frequent development of PHG and fundal varices.

Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis: Reports of Two Cases and Brief Review
Authors: Islam AKM Monwarul , Roy Sharadindu Shekhar , Zaman Shahana , Ahmed Farhana , Rahim Muhammad Abdur , Jesmin Humayra
Published: January 2019

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP) is a rare autosomal dominant channelopathy characterized by skeletal muscle weakness or paralysis when there is a fall in potassium levels in blood. Weakness may be mild and limited to certain muscle groups or more severe causing generalized paralysis. During an attack, reflexes may be diminished or absent. Attacks may last for a few hours or persist for several days, ultimately resulting in complete recovery. Some patients may develop chronic muscle weakness later in life. Recurrent muscle weakness accompanied by hypokalemia and exclusion of other causes help establish the diagnosis. Potassium supplementation is the mainstay of treatment of acute illness. Lifestyle modification with or without pharmacotherapy in the form of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and/ or spironolactone can prevent future attacks. Here, we present two cases of HPP, the first one had no positive family history and responded to oral potassium and spironolactone, while the second case had family history suggestive of HPP and was managed with potassium and eplerenone.

Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia with Differentiation Syndrome Treated Successfully with ATRA-ATO Therapy: A Case Study
Authors: Uddin Mohammed Mosleh , Mahfuz Huque , Karim Md Mostafil , Rahman Md Mizanur , Sultana Syeda Adib
Published: January 2019

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) is the first malignant disease highly curable with targeted therapy directed at a unique molecular abnormality. The characteristic bleeding diathesis due to the combined effect of thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular coagulation is the most notorious manifestation of the disease, which historically has accepted for high mortality rate during induction. Acute promyelocytic leukemia is one of the few hematologic diseases that can be diagnosed with certainty by morphological examination of blood film and bone marrow aspirate by the practicing hematologist. Such step facilitates early institution of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) before molecular confirmation of the diagnosis. Therefore, ATRA therapy as well as aggressive blood product support is critical to reduce early mortality. Early diagnosis and prompt institution of appropriate therapy is essential as APML is a medical emergency and without rapid management patient may succumb due to bleeding diathesis. Also the prognosis of APML is much better than other subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia. ATRA plus anthracycline based chemotherapy for induction and consolidation followed by maintenance ATRA with low dose chemotherapy is currently the standard of care. However the combination of ATRA and arsenic trioxide (ATO), with minimal chemotherapy to control leukocytosis, is very effective therapy for newly diagnosed APML patients. The combination may replace conventional approaches to most, if not all, patients in the very near future. Here we report a case of APML of female who got admitted with fever, cough and pupuric rash throughout the whole body.

Ulcerative Colitis in a Bangladeshi Child: A Case Report
Authors: Hoque Nazmul , Ahmed Shireen , Zaman Taslima
Published: January 2019

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disorder of colon. Ulcerative colitis is uncommon in tropics and sub-tropics. We describe a case of pediatric ulcerative colitis with successful treatment. A 4-years-old girl who presented with passage of loose bloody stool, abdominal pain and mild arthralgia along with significant weight loss. Her height was 95 cm, and weight was 13 kg. Diagnosis was confirmed by colonoscopy and histopathology. Treatment was thereafter started with parenteral steroid initially then oral steroid and mesalamine. The patient is now on remission and is on regular follow up. UC is rare in Bangladesh, especially in children. Several conditions like infective colitis, allergic colitis, Meckel’s diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, etc. may mimic the features of UC. So, if a child presents with recurrent bloody diarrhea, UC should be considered as a differential diagnosis.

Authors: Ding Ruru , Zhu Ziying , Teng Mengting , Ma Lin , Hu Jiaying , Hu Jiangbiao , Zhang Peng
Published: January 2019

This study aimed to investigate the anti-tumor effects of compound 34 on MCF-7 cells in vitro, and explore its mechanisms. MTT results showed that compound 34 selectively inhibited estrogen receptor-positive cells proliferation. Hoechst 33342 staining showed nuclear pyknosis, nuclear debris associated with apoptotic bodies. JC-1 staining showed the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. Although compound 34 increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), compound 34-induced apoptosis was not prevented by pretreatment with ROS scavengers. Western blotting showed apoptosis-related protein like cytochrome c and cleaved PARP protein increased. Furthermore, docking studies exhibited that compound 34 could bind into ERα. In summary, compound 34 selectively inhibited estrogen receptor positive cells proliferation and induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells via ROS-independent intrinsic apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. It may be a potential targeted drug of estrogen receptor for therapeutic application of breast cancer.

Published: January 2019

Background : Meconium ileus (MI) is one of the common cause of intestinal obstruction in neonate. It can be present with various complications (about 50%) like volvulus, atresia, and gangrene of the gut, perforation and meconium cyst.

Objective : This study aimed to compare various surgical procedures used in the treatment of meconium ileus and to assess their efficacy regarding survival and complications in our center.

Methods : This retrospective study was done to all cases of meconium ileus admitted in the Department of neonatal surgery of Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital during the past 5 years (2011 to2016). The medical records of all patients with meconium ileus were studied. The surgical procedures were Mikulicz procedure, Bishop-Koop procedure done in case of complicated cases and Mikulicz procedure, Bishop-Koop and T tube ileostomy done in uncomplicated cases. Outcomes were compared between complicated and uncomplicated group and between the surgical procedures.

Results : Total patients were 224. Among them 8 were excluded due to incomplete data. The mean age was 3.23 days. Twenty four neonates were preterm. Fifty-two percent were uncomplicatedMI and 48.15% were complicated. Among 112 uncomplicated cases, Mikulicz procedure done in 33 cases, Bishop-Koop procedure done in 37 cases and rest were treated by T tube ileostomy procedures. Among 104 cases of complicated meconium ileus, Mikulicz procedure done in 75 cases and 42 cases were treated by Bishop-Koop stoma. Predominant complications in Mikulicz procedures were high output fistula (67.6%), sepsis (34.84%) and skin excoriation (58.33%), while in Bishop-Koop procedure were sepsis (59.25%), anastomotic leak and reoperation (25.75%). In T tube ileostomy, complications were intra-peritoneal leak with reoperation and sepsis (9.52%). Twenty five (11.6%) stoma prolapse were found in Mikulicz ileostomy. The overall mortality of meconium ileus was 36.6%, in simple MI 23 out of 112 and in complicated MI 56 out of 104. This difference was significant.

Conclusion : Considering the study result we concluded that complications occur more frequently in Mikulicz procedure and it is significantly associated with mortality, Bishop- Koop ileostomy can be considered but anastomotic leak is still an important complication of this procedure. In uncomplicated cases T tube ileostomy found as the best option.

AbstrakJIT merupakan filosofi produksi yang dikembangkan oleh Toyota Motor dan berhasil membuat industri otomotif dan elektronika Jepang menjadi industri yang mampu bekerja secara efisien dengan mutu keluaran yang baik. Keberhasilan JIT dibidang industri manufaktur telah mendorong industri lainnya termasuk industri konstruksi untuk mengadopsinya. JIT berusaha untuk menghilangkan sumber-sumber pemborosan produksi dengan cara menerima jumlah yang tepat dari material dan memproduksinya dalam jumlah yang tepat pada tempat yang tepat dan waktu yang tepat. Studi terhadap metode Just In Time ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan studi kasus terhadap proyek konstruksi pembangunan gedung Kantor Pusat Pajak (KPP) Menteng dengan Kontraktor pelaksana PT. Pembangunan Perumahan (PT.PP). Adapun studi JIT inventory management didasarkan pada tiga aspek kajian, yaitu kebijakan perusahaan dalam pengelolaan persediaan, sistem pemesanan dan penerimaan material. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa telah dilakukan pengelolaan persediaan dengan pendekatan JIT dalam proses produksi proyek KPP Menteng dengan sedikit modifikasi pada prinsip JIT. Beberapa modifikasi tersebut antara lain yaitu adanya buffer sebagai antisipasi terhadap variasi yang ada, hal ini berlawanan dengan prinsip dasar dari JIT yaitu menghilangkan buffer. Upaya-upaya yang dilakukan oleh PT. PP melalui kebijakan maupun sistem pemesanan dan penerimaan material untuk mengurangi pemborosan sejalan dengan metode JIT. Kata kunci: JIT Inventory management, proyek konstruksi gedung, ROP, Safety stock, Lead time  AbstractJIT is a production philosophy developed by Toyota Motor and it successes in making the automotive and electronics industries in Jepang to be an efficient industry with good quality output. The success of JIT in manufacturing industry has encouraged other industries, including construction, to adopt it.  JIT tries to eliminate production waste sources by receiving an exact number of materials and producing in an exact number at the right place and time. Study on JIT method was conducted using a case study on a construction project of the development of Tax Office (KPP) Menteng building with the contractor of PT. Pembangunan Perumahan (PT.PP). The study of JIT inventory management was based on three study aspects, namely, company policy in inventory management, material ordering system and material receiving system. The result indicated that JIT-approached inventory management had been conducted in the production process of KPP Menteng project with small modification on its principles. Some of the modifications were, such as, the existence of buffer as an anticipation of existing variation, which was in contrast to the basic principle of JIT, which is eliminating buffer. Efforts conducted by PT. PP through its policy or material ordering and receiving systems to reduce waste were in line with the JIT method. Keywords: JIT Inventory management, building construction project, ROP, Safety stock, Lead time

AbstrakSpeedboat merupakan salah satu  moda yang mengbungkan pusat kota Ternate dengan pusat kota Tidore Kepulauan. Meningkatnya pelaku perjalanan menggunakan moda ini menuntut perlunya perhatian terhadap aspek kenyamanan dan keselamatan pengguna moda. Kondisi di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa moda speedboat beraktivitas pada siang maupun malam hari, pada berbagai cuaca dan mengangkut bukan hanya manusia namun juga barang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat pelayanan speedboat menurut penilain pengguna moda menggunakan metode analisis Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). IPA digunakan untuk memetakan hubungan antara importance (kepentingan) dengan performance (kinerja) dari masing-masing atribut pelayanan menurut penilaian penumpang speedboat Ternate-Tidore. Tingkat pelayanan moda transportasi speedboat Ternate-Tidore menggunakan metode IPA didapatkan variabel yang memiliki kepentingan/Harapan yang tinggi namun pada kinerja/realita tidak cukup baik, yaitu variabel penerangan di malam hari,  ketersediaan baju pelampung/life jacket dan ketersediaan kotak P3K. Sedangkan variabel yang dianggap kurang penting oleh penumpang, tetapi kinerjanya baik sehingga penumpang menganggap kinerja tersebut berlebihan, yaitu variabel layanan informasi dan tarif speedboat, ketersediaan pelontar . Kata kunci— Speedboat, Moda Transportasi, Importance Performance Analysis  AbstractSpeedboat is one of transportation modes connecting the city central of Ternate to the city central of Tidore Island. The increase in travellers who use the mode requires attention on the aspect of comfort and safety of the mode users. Field condition indicates that speedboat mode starts active at noon and night in various weathers. The mode is not only transported people but also goods. The research aimed to analyze the speedboat service level based on the appraisal from the mode users using Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method. IPA used to map the relationship between the importance and performance of each service attribute according to the appraisal of the passengers of Ternate-Tidore speedboat. The service level of Ternate-Tidore speedboat transportation mode using IPA method indicated that there were variables with high importance/expectation but less performance/reality, which were night lighting variable, the availability of life jacket and first aid box, whereas, variables considered as less important by the passengers but had good performance so that passengers regarded them as overwhelmed were information service variable, speedboat rate, and the availability of thrower. Keywords — Speedboat, Transportation Mode, Importance Performance Analysis

AbstrakAir merupakan bagian terbesar penyusun jaringan tumbuh-tumbuhan. Air berfungsi  mengatur setiap proses metabolisme tanaman secara langsung atau tidak langsung. Air yang tersedia di dalam tanah berada pada kapasitas lapang. Air pada kapasitas lapang adalah air yang tetap tersimpan dalam tanah. Air dapat hilang dalam bentuk uap air dari jaringan hidup tanaman yang terletak di atas permukaan tanah, air tersebut daapt hilang melewati stomata, kutikula, dan lentisel disebut transpirasi. Air pun dapat hilang akibatnya tanah menjadi kering. Apabila tanaman hidup dalam kondisi ini,  maka tanaman akan mengalami cekaman air (Water stress) dan akhirnya mati. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis tumbuhan yang mampu bertahan hidup di lahan kering beserta lamanya waktu tanaman dalam bertahan hidup.  Penelitian ini bersifat eksperimen yang menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) , dengan 4 perlakuan dan 5 kali ulangan. Pemberian air sekali dalam 9 bulan dan pengamatan dilakukan seminggu sekali dengan parameter tinggi tanaman dan jumlah daun. Sedangkan untuk faktor lingkungan berupa pH, suhu dan kelembaban tanah diukur pada awal penelitian dan akhir penelitian. Kemudian data tersebut dianalisis menggunakan uji Koefisien Variasi (KV). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis tanaman yang mampu bertahan hidup di lahan kering adalah jagung dengan waktu 20 minggu (5 bulan).Kata Kunci : Jenis Tumbuhan, bertahan hidup, lahan kering Abstract Water is the biggest constituent of plant tissues. Water serves to regulate all plant metabolism processes, directly or indirectly. Water available in the soil is in field capacity, which is water that is kept in the soil. The water can be lost in form of vapor from plant living tissues located on the soil surface. The water can be lost through stomata, cuticle and lenticel and it is called transpiration. The loss of water causes soil to dry. If plant lives in this condition, the plant will experience water stress and eventually it will die. The research aimed to find out the type of plant that able to survive on dry land and the duration of the survival. The research was an experimental research using a completely randomized design (RAL) with four treatments and 5 repetitions. Watering was conducted once in 9 months and observation was conducted once in a week with parameters of plant height and number of leaves. Regarding the environmental factors, namely, pH, temperature and, soil humidity, they were measured in the beginning and end of the research. Data was analyzed using variance coefficient (KV) test. The research result indicated that type of plant that survived on dry land was corn with 20 weeks (5 months) of period.  Keywords: Type of plant, survival, dry land
