Published: January 2023

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequently found cancer among women worldwide. Numerous studies have underlined that persistent infection with human papilloma virus is the most important risk factor, two strains of the same virus – 16 and 18 being responsible for approximately 70% of the cases. Cervical cancer rarely metastasizes in the cervical lymph nodes and this indicates a poor prognosis. Literature data reports an incidence for left supraclavicular M1LYm of 0.1-1.5%. Material and Method: We bring attention to the case of a 44-year-old patient from the rural area who was diagnosed in January 2019 with stage IIIB cervical cancer, represented morphologically by a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. When admitted, the patient presented clinically with vaginal hemorrhage, intense abdominal and pelvic pain, fatigue, a dynamic, significant weight loss. The physiological personal history revealed nine pregnancies, the first one when she was 16. After pretherapeutic evaluation, the multidisciplinary committee decides performing simultaneous radio-chemotherapy with platinum salts. During the second week of treatment clinical examination revealed left cervical and supraclavicular adenopathy, both documented through imaging evaluation. Lymph node biopsy is done and its histopathological aspect, correlated with the immunohistochemistry profile supports the diagnosis of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma lymph node metastasis. The initial treatment scheme is maintained, the patient being discharged with clinical remission of cervical and supraclavicular lymph node metastasis. Conclusions: The peculiarity of the case is determined by the distant metastases in the left cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes, a rare finding during treatment, which was associated with a poor prognosis; in this case treatment was done for palliative purposes. Rapid diagnosis is the main factor that conditions the therapeutic results and chances for healing.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: The issue of sexuality is seldom investigated by psychiatrists in psychotic psychiatric patients, partly due to the frontline distressing psychiatric and behavioural symptoms but also due to hesitancy, haste, reluctance. Even though, the aspects of intimacy, sexual functioning are important and bothering, especially for young patients. These sexual impairments might be attributed to the disease itself but also to the medication. Material and Methods: Two separate studies aim to investigate sexual disorders in female inpatient patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and in different phases of bipolar disorder (depression, manic) in comparison to controls. Therefore, treatment emergent sexual side effects (UKU scale), their relation to psychopathology (PANSS, GAF), quality of life (WHO-QOL Bref), misbelieves (Sexual Dysfunctional beliefs Questionnaire) were explored in chronic female schizophrenic patients and compared to matched controls. For the bipolar group, the depressed, manic women and controls were assessed regarding frequency of sexual intercourse, fantasies, desire, and lubrication orgasm by the Sexual Disorders Interview, Female Sexual Index and psychopathology by BDI, respectively YMRS. Both studies were cross-sectional and collected various demographical and therapeutical data. Results: Schizophrenic patients rendered long histories of the disease and treatments, cumulating also disturbing side effects such as weight gain, amenorrhea, less marital and sexual partners. Low sexual interest, modest initiative, involvement, absent orgasm and sexual conservatorism were common and constant during exacerbations but also in chronicity being in connection rather to negative symptoms and modest functioning. Regarding bipolar women, sexual problems were detected in over 75% of the cases, with less implication and satisfaction during depression, pain, often blaming antidepressants as probable source of dissatisfaction. On the other hand, manic patients display more vivid sexual fantasies and interest, with higher arousal and lubrication, attending sexual satisfaction but being disturbed subjectively by some of these aspects. Although a wide range of sexual disorders might arise after treatment with antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, there could not be clearly ascertained a specific disorder. Discussions: Hyposexuality seems to be a hallmark of schizophrenics even in treatment naïve patients, being more obvious after treatment, in chronicity. The issue of sexuality in bipolar women is rather difficult to assess and compare partly to the heterogeneity of the disorder. Conclusions: Sexual disorders are a special and frequent issue in schizophrenia and bipolar women, displaying a wide range from low frequency, interest, dissatisfaction or even pain and a temporary phase limited exacerbation of sexuality during manic episodes.

In a contemporary society in which individuals declare themselves increasingly busy, it appears that the prominent modality of relaxation and sometimes getting informed is the Internet. The modern age is defined by consumerism, advanced technology, globalization and explosive development of Mass Media. Adolescents and young adults have various information alternatives at their disposal, but also a high level of expectations from their social and professional environment. Therefore, feelings of doubt, anxiety and uncertainty may emerge, and different inferiority complexes can develop, making one reach an impossibility of developing one's identity, in a form of compensatory mechanisms that appear at the attitudinal and behavioral level. The present article aims to present the results of studies performed by our team on different groups of subjects aged from 15 to 24 years, as a starting point for informing the population about the medical risks they are exposed to, to prevent the effects of these behaviours that affect the overall functioning of the individual.

During the coronavirus pandemic, it was clearly seen how vulnerable society is with its entire health and sanitary security system, how vulnerable medicine is to a biological attack (whether it was natural or manufactured in a laboratory) and how chaotically society reacts as a whole, when faced with an unknown danger. It was quickly seen that medical science and technology have its limits and risks, that they do not always serve the cause of the suffering man, that biotechnology and genetic manipulation pose a major danger to humanity and that, for the simple reason that it is the product of human reason, always doubtful and hesitant. It has gone so far as to the principles of medical ethics were breached, whether we are talking about non-maleficence or beneficence, decision-making autonomy or nondiscriminatory attitude toward access to resources, with serious damage to the individual - medical system relationship.

Published: January 2023

The education system in Malaysia employs classical method in evaluation students’ progress performances during their foundation level. The result was obtained by adding all the assessments scored and was graded based on grade A, A-, B+, B, …, and F. Somehow, non-classical methods may be applied such as fuzzy logic, where it can be applied to many forms of decision making. This paper proposed evaluation on students’ performances by using fuzzy logic approach. The assessment score obtained based on their assignment, midterm examination and final term examination of 26 Agriscience students, in Preparatory Centre for Science and Technology (PPST), University Malaysia Sabah, UMS was carried out with fuzzy logic. Their results are calculated based on classical method and fuzzy logic approach, which is then compared and analysed. The comparison shows variation between classical and fuzzy logic approach in terms of their overall results.

Authors: Chang Mui Ling Dyana , Yin Ling Tam, Adeline , Zainal Thara , Yong Kelvin
Published: January 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on communities worldwide, with governments imposing restrictions on movement, global vaccination, quarantine, social distance measures, stay-at-home policies, and other preventative measures such as mandatory use of face masks. Despite widespread agreement that symptomatic individuals and those working in healthcare settings should continue to use the face mask following COVID-19 vaccination, discrepancies were observed in the public and societies raising awareness among Malaysian millennials. Global efforts to develop a vaccine have been accelerated to alleviate the growing burden of COVID-19. Thus, vaccination significantly decreased adverse outcomes such as non-ICU hospitalisation, as well as ICU hospitalisation and death, in several countries. Similarly, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of face masks by the Malaysian population, particularly the millennial generation, became widespread. However, few studies have been conducted on the millennials' willingness to continue using face masks following their COVID-19 vaccination programme in Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to gain insight into the factors that influence millennials' willingness to wear face masks following their COVID-19 vaccination programme in Malaysia. The application of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as the guiding principle relationship enables an understanding of the millennials' continued intention to use a face mask following the COVID-19 vaccination. The hypotheses were tested using a partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The study's significance is that it advances the theoretical methodology and has practical implications for the public, scholars and practitioners, marketers, healthcare, and government in terms of prioritising willingness to continue using face masks following COVID-19 vaccination among Malaysian millennials.

Published: January 2023

Aiming at the problems of large vibrations and noise of a working stalk rubbing machine, this paper took the 9R-60 rubbing machine as the research object and used the B&K modal test system and the vibration test system to analyse the modal and no-load conditions of the whole machine. Through analysing modal test data, it was concluded that the first five natural frequencies of the machine were 95.262 Hz, 144.386 Hz, 288.198 Hz, 313.719 Hz and 326.140 Hz. The results showed that spindle rotation had a more significant effect on the vibration than the feed chain rotation; the maximum vibration acceleration occurred at the small motor frame at a spindle speed of 1700 r·min-1 and a feed chain speed of 0.65 m·s-1, which was 135.539 m·s-2. The distribution of the amplitude statistical characteristics of the vibration signals follows the normal distribution and belongs to the stationary random process. The vibration was a self-excited vibration of the rotating machinery caused by the rotation of the main shaft and a forced vibration excited by the rotation of the same shaft. The research provides a direction for further research on the vibration characteristics of the rubbing machine under load conditions, and provides a theoretical basis for the subsequent vibration reduction design.

Published: January 2023

With the aim of revealing the effects of low temperature on the vibration impact comminution performance of wheat bran, the impact dynamic performance of wheat bran at different temperatures was simulated by using LS-DYNA. According to the impact collision relationship between grinding medium and wheat bran, a three-component numerical calculation model was established. The impact collision dynamic essence of the model was analyzed, and a solution method based on LS-DYNA was proposed. On this basis, the finite element model of the numerical calculation model was obtained. By adjusting the mechanical parameters of wheat bran in the finite element model, the vibration impact comminution performance of wheat bran at different temperatures were analyzed. It is found that the contact force, contact deformation and comminution energy of wheat bran increase with the decrease of temperature, which indicates that low-temperature comminution of wheat bran is more advantageous than room temperature comminution. However, when the temperature drops from - 40 ℃ to - 80 ℃, the above index parameters almost remain, which indicats that it is more economical to apply low-temperature comminution at the temperature range from - 40 ℃ ~ 0 ℃. This research provided a foundation for the analysis, prediction and optimization of vibration impact comminution performance of wheat bran.

BIOSYNTHESIS OF PHYTOHORMONES AND VIRULENCE OF АZOTOBACTER CHROOCOCCUM 2.1 — CUCUMIS SATIVUS L. INOCULANT
Authors: Kozar S.F. , Bilokonska O.M. , Kravchenko N.O.
Published: January 2023

Objective. To study the properties (production of phytohormonal substances and virulence) of a new highly effective strain of associative bacteria of the genus Azotobacter. Methods. Phytohormonal activity was established by bioassays. Microbiological (obtaining a suspension of Azotobacter chroococcum 2.1, determining the titre by sowing on a digest medium; microscopy of stained imprint smears of the internal organs of the studied animals and cultivation of tissue samples on a digest medium) and patho-anatomical (determination of possible invasiveness and dissemination of bacteria in the tissue of internal organs of animals) methods were applied. The study was conducted on a model of outbred white mice, after oral dosing of a suspension of live bacterial cells ranged from 0.5×109 to 5×109 CFU in 0.5 cm3 of sterile isotonic sodium chloride solution per mouse and intraperitoneal dosing ranged from 1×109 to 5×109 CFU/0.5 cm3. Statistical calculations were carried out using analysis-of-variance method. Results. A new A. chroococcum 2.1 strain synthesizes auxin-like substances more intensively than gibberellin-like and cytokinin-like substances. A 1:100 dilution of the culture fluid is the most effective. The obtained results of the studies on the possible pathogenicity of bacteria indicate that no deviations in the behaviour of mice were detected after oral dosing of a suspension of living Azotobacter cells. Microbiological tests of the internal organs of the experimental animals after the beginning of the tests and after 15 days revealed that Azotobacter is not infective, does not reproduce and does not disseminate in the body of warm-blooded animals. Intraperitoneal and oral dosing of a live cell culture suspension of A. chroococcum 2.1 did not cause bacterial invasion into the internal organs of white mice. Retrocultures were not detected. Conclusion. A. chroococcum 2.1 produces auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins. The parabolic nature of the influence of dilutions of the culture liquid of the studied strain A. chroococcum 2.1 on the test cultures (wheat coleoptiles, corn mesocotyles and cucumber cotyledons) was revealed, which is a consequence of the production of phytohormonal substances. The new strain produces auxin-like substances most intensely. The obtained data indicate the avirulence of the strain for warm-blooded animals (LD50 intraperitoneal > 5 billion cells/mouse, LD50 oral > 5 billion cells/mouse). According to the data on the lack of virulence, without taking into account the levels of toxigenicity, toxicity, allergenic capacity and dysbiotic action, A. chroococcum 2.1 can be considered non-pathogenic.

Authors: Mahmud S M , Tashfika Ummey Hany , Ferdous Kazi Md Noor-ul
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Hypospadias is a congenital defect that affects the development of the urethra in males, causing the urethral opening to be located on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip. Repair of hypospadias is a surgical procedure that aims to create a normal-appearing and functional penis that allows for normal urination. The tubularized incised-plate (TIP) technique is a widely used surgical approach for correcting distal hypospadias. TIP urethroplasty can be performed using either continuous or interrupted suture techniques. The present study aims to compare the complications of these two techniques in TIP urethroplasty for the repair of hypospadias. Aim of the Study: The aim of the study was to compare the complication rate among continuous and interrupted suture in TIP urethroplasty for anterior hypospadias repair. Methods: This Prospective Randomized comparative study was conducted at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study duration was 5 years, from July 2017 to June 2022. After some drop-out patients, a total of 68 patients had been left, with Group-1 having 35 continuous suture TIP urethroplasty, and Group-2 having 33 interrupted sutures TIP urethroplasty. Result: The mean age of participants was 41.15±24.46 months in Group-1 and 38.05±25.14 months in Group-2. The mean weight of participants was 17.79±6.37 kg and 19.14±9.19 kg in Group-1 and Group-2 respectively. Operation time in group 1 and group 2 was 66.86±3.51 minutes and 79.38±5.04 minutes respectively, with statistically significant difference. But none of the post-operative complications had significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: The study showed that although operative time was significantly lower among patients undergoing continuous suture for TIP urethroplasty instead of interrupted suture TIP urethroplasty, the overall complications rate had no significant difference between the groups.
