Published: September 2021

Aim:

The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the apical seal obtained with Biodentine after conditioning of root end with three different solutions (HEBP, chitosan, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid [EDTA]).

Materials and Method:

Forty-eight maxillary incisors were selected and decoronated. Instrumentation was done with protaper rotary files up to F4 file and obturated with AH plus sealer (Dentsply, Germany) and Protaper gutta-percha cone using lateral condensation technique. The apical part of each root was resected at 90° to the long axis of the root for 3 mm, and retrograde cavity preparation was done in standardized dimensions. The teeth were randomly divided into four groups with 12 samples in each group and later subjected to a standard regimen of 3 ml of respective solutions for 5 min: Group I – 18% HEBP, Group II – 0.2% chitosan, Group III – 17% EDTA, Group IV – saline (control). All teeth were then restored with Biodentine (Septodont, USA). Samples were coated with two coats of nail varnish except in the apical 3 mm which will be immersed in 5 ml of 2% methylene blue dye and stored in incubator for 72 h. The nail varnish will be removed later, and the teeth will be immersed in 35% nitric acid for 72 h. The solutions were then filtered using a fine-grit filter paper and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 1 min. The solutions thus collected will be used to determine absorbency in ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer.

Results:

The mean values of absorbance were greatest for Group IV (saline) followed by Group III (17% EDTA), Group II (0.2% chitosan), and Group I (18% HEBP). Group IV (saline) and Group III (17% EDTA) have got statistically significant difference with all the other groups. Group II has got statistically significant difference with all the other groups except Group I.

Conclusion:

Within the limitations of the study, it was concluded that irrigation with newer agents significantly influenced the sealing ability of biodentine. Root-end irrigation with 18% HEBP and 0.2% chitosan showed the least microleakage when compared to 17% EDTA.

Authors: Dua Shivani , Ravan Jayaprakash Russell , Pratheek Vijay Raj , Pattnaik J Ipsita , Sahoo Sai P.
Published: September 2021

Solid organ transplantation is the intervention of choice for end-stage renal disease burdening the patient and care givers. Posttransplant patients receive immunosuppression therapy to prevent graft rejection which might lead to psychiatric side effects induced by the drugs, which require psychotropics for symptomatic relief. We present the case of a young man who developed tacrolimus-induced psychosis and management dilemma due to the drug interactions. Risperidone or haloperidol, which is usually given for acute management of psychotic symptoms, is contraindicated due to the interactions with immunosuppressant therapy. In consultation–liaison psychiatry, it is imperative to know the interactions between psychotropics and transplant medications. We also discuss in detail the posttransplant psychiatric conditions and safer alternative psychotropics for different psychiatric conditions in view of potential drug–drug interaction of other medications with that of immunosuppressants.

Published: September 2021

Background:

The aim of this study was to compare the donor characteristics, quality of tissues, and utilization rate of corneas collected through Hospital cornea retrieval program (HCRP) and voluntary eye donation (VED).

Methods:

A prospective nonrandomized comparative study of all consecutive donor corneas collected through HCRP and VED during December 2015 to November 2016 was performed. Details of the donor such as age, sex, cause of death, need for medicolegal clearance, death to enucleation time, slit-lamp grading, specular microscopy, and tissue utilization were documented.

Results:

Nine hundred and eighty-five eyes of 493 donors were included in the study, of which 606 (61.5%) eyes belonged to HCRP and 379 (38.5%) eyes in VED. HCRP donors were significantly younger (HCRP: 43.87 ± 19 years; VED: 72.8 ± 13 years; P < 0.001). Males were more common in HCRP (HCRP: 236, 77.6%; VED: 99, 52.2%; P < 0.001). The most common cause of death was road traffic accident (132, 43.6%) in HCRP and cardiovascular disease (93, 49%) in VED. 73.3% (222) of HCRP donors needed medicolegal clearance. Phakic donor eyes were significantly higher in HCRP (HCRP: 561, 92.6%; VED: 184, 48.6%; P < 0.001). Specular microscopy was possible in 396 (65.3%) eyes of HCRP and 129 (34%) eyes of VED. The mean endothelial cell density was 2931 ± 431.1 in HCRP and 2668.6 ± 381.1 in VED. The tissue utilization rate was significantly higher in HCRP (HCRP: 481, 79.4%; VED: 201, 53%; P < 0.001). Eighty-two percent of endothelial keratoplasty, 78.5% of optical penetrating keratoplasty, and 58% of therapeutic keratoplasty were from HCRP donors.

Conclusion:

Donor corneas collected through HCRP have higher tissue utilization.

Published: September 2021

Introduction:

Cells exfoliated into urine from the bladder can help to diagnose the cancer. The objective of this study was to validate the hypothesis that bladder cancer could be detected noninvasively by a simple and reliable assay targeting genomic VPAC (combined vasoactive intestinal peptide and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide family of cell surface receptors) receptors expressed on the malignant bladder cancer cells shed in the voided urine.

Methods:

Patients ≥18 years of age with either imaging (ultrasonography/computed tomography [CT])-confirmed bladder tumors or those who have been previously treated for nonmuscle invasive bladder tumors and were visiting the department for check cystoscopy, formed the study group. Freshly voided urine sample was collected from these patients and sent for conventional cytology examination, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) fluorescent urine cytology, and for positivity of VPAC receptors.

Results:

A total of 103 patients were prospectively included in the study. Of these, 65 patients (Group I) presented with image-diagnosed (ultrasonography and/or CT) bladder cancer. The remaining 38 patients (Group II) were previously diagnosed cases of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer and presented for follow-up and check cystoscopy. The sensitivity for VPAC receptor positivity was 89.23% compared to conventional cytology (63.07%) and 5-ALA fluorescent urine cytology (87.69%). The specificity of VPAC receptor positivity was 100% compared to conventional cytology (100%) and 5-ALA-induced fluorescent cytology (90.47%).

Conclusions:

Our preliminary study shows encouraging results with VPAC receptor positivity studies, which has a high sensitivity when compared to the conventional cytology.

Published: September 2021

Spindle cell tumors of the prostate are very uncommon and the majority involve the prostate secondarily from adjacent organs. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are specific C-kit (CD 117) expressing mesenchymal tumors occurring in the gastrointestinal tract, commonly in the stomach and intestine; however, it is seldom seen involving the prostate. Although primary prostatic GISTs have been described, majority of them are secondary involvement from rectal GIST. The patient usually presents with urinary tract symptoms or prostate enlargement simulating a prostatic neoplasm. GIST as a differential diagnosis for prostatic mass is never thought of. We present a series of five cases of GIST arising from/involving the prostate mimicking a primary prostatic malignancy and the challenges associated with them for diagnosis and treatment.

Published: September 2021

Introduction:

Acknowledging the promising role of information and technology, a study was planned to determine the effect of personalized human-centered dietary decision support system (PHCDDSS) on dietary knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP), and mean fasting blood sugar (FBS) among participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Materials and Methods:

A community-based randomized control trial was conducted among 400 individuals with T2DM randomized into the 12-month intervention group (PHCDDSS) and 400 to the control (usual care) group.

Results:

In the control and intervention groups, 84.7% and 87.0% participants completed the follow-up at the end of 12 months. Mean knowledge score showed a significant (P = 0.00) declining trend (from 28.3 to 22.2) in the control group, but increasing (from 28.9 to 35.4) in the intervention group. Unlike knowledge, mean attitude score observed a significant declining trend in both the groups but less in the intervention group. The mean FBS (in mg/dL) trend was found to be insignificantly declining in control (199.2–195.4) and intervention (194.8–183.1) groups but the decline was relatively less in control when compared with the intervention group.

Conclusion:

In study participants, PHCDDSS proved to be effective in improving knowledge and attitude toward role of diet in managing T2DM. The intervention showed promising effect in reduction of mean FBS and proportion of individuals with sugar control.

Authors: Gupta Brij Mohan , Pal Rimesh , Rohilla Latika , Dayal Devi
Published: September 2021

Background:

Diabetes is a common co-morbid condition that influences morbidity and mortality in patients with COVID-19 and has been a focus of intense research. However, a systematic assessment of global diabetes research concerning COVID-19 is unavailable.

Aim:

We aimed to provide a bibliometric assessment of research output on diabetes concerning the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and Methods:

Publications on diabetes in relation to COVID-19 were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using appropriate bibliometric indicators.

Results:

The publications indexed till January 6, 2021 numbered 762. The share of the top 10 of the 82 countries was 90.6%. The USA, China, India, Italy, and the UK were the most productive countries, with publication share ranging from 11.4% to 17.8%. Brazil, China, Germany, Australia, France, and India registered higher publication impact. The average citations per paper were 7.3, and 19.4% of the publications were funded. The share of publications on type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes, and gestational diabetes was 23.2%, 16.5%, and 4.1%, respectively. Diabetic complications, clinical studies, and epidemiology were the most researched aspects of diabetes concerning COVID-19, with 47.9%, 23.3%, and 14.0% share, respectively. Publications on pathophysiology numbered only 93 (12.2%). The most productive organizations were Tongji Medical College, China, Huazhong University, China, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, India, and INSERM, France.

Conclusion:

Extensive high-quality research has been conducted on diabetes in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic in developed and developing countries. There is a need to focus on pathophysiological studies to elucidate further the underlying mechanisms that predispose COVID-19-affected diabetes patients to severe disease and death. Our scientometric assessment may help understand the research gaps and guide future research in this field.
Knowledge on Diabetes and Its Determinants among Type 2 Diabetic Subjects in a Low-Resource Setting
Authors: Wahiduzzaman Mohammad , Hossain Sharmin , Islam Sahidul Md. , Banning Friederike , Ali Liaquat , Lechner Andres
Published: September 2021

Background:

Knowledge about diabetes is the cornerstone of self-management, which is crucial for diabetes care. Improving patients’ knowledge and self-management toward their condition can achieve better control, delay complications, and improve their quality of life. However, there are great variations in the level of knowledge from population to population and this needs to be explored in different ethnic and sociocultural groups for designing appropriate preventive strategies. Due to lack of adequate studies in Bangladesh, this study aimed at assessing diabetes-related knowledge, its determinants and examined which subgroups of patients have the largest knowledge deficits.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study was carried out among 504 study participants with type 2 diabetes in the outpatient clinic of the Bangladesh Institute of Health Sciences (BIHS) hospital, a tertiary care center in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Sociodemographic information, anthropometric knowledge about diabetes were collected by semistructured, interviewer-administered questionnaires by the face-to-face interview technique. Respondents who achieved a 50% or higher score from a 16-item diabetic knowledge assessment questionnaire were considered to have good knowledge and their counterparts were considered as possessing poor knowledge about diabetes. Descriptive statistics was used to estimate the prevalence of knowledge. A univariate and multivariate logistic regression was carried out to identify significant factors associated with diabetic knowledge.

Results:

The participants’ mean age (±SD) was 52 ± 11years; among them, 57.3% were women, 17.1% were illiterate, and 31.5% belonged to a lower-income family. About one-third of them (29.2%) had good knowledge, and male participants were more educated and had higher diabetes knowledge compared with their counterparts. In particular, gender, education, occupation, monthly family income, and duration of diabetes showed a significant correlation with overall knowledge. On multivariate regression, age, education, duration of diabetes, and family members correlated independently with knowledge.

Conclusions:

On the basis of the current study, it is suggested that about two-third of the patients attending a tertiary care hospital had poor knowledge about diabetes. These results highlight the need for a coordinated educational program with a prioritized focus on older, newly diagnosed, and less educated groups, which reinforces the necessity for patient education.
A New Method of Different Neural Network Depth and Feature Map Size on Remote Sensing Small Target Detection
Authors: Cao Yaming , YANG ZHEN , GAO CHEN
Published: September 2021

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown strong learning capabilities in computer vision tasks such as classification and detection. Especially with the introduction of excellent detection models such as YOLO (V1, V2 and V3) and Faster R-CNN, CNNs have greatly improved detection efficiency and accuracy. However, due to the special angle of view, small size, few features, and complicated background, CNNs that performs well in the ground perspective dataset, fails to reach a good detection accuracy in the remote sensing image dataset. To this end, based on the YOLO V3 model, we used feature maps of different depths as detection outputs to explore the reasons for the poor detection rate of small targets in remote sensing images by deep neural networks. We also analyzed the effect of neural network depth on small target detection, and found that the excessive deep semantic information of neural network has little effect on small target detection. Finally, the verification on the VEDAI dataset shows, that the fusion of shallow feature maps with precise location information and deep feature maps with rich semantics in the CNNs can effectively improve the accuracy of small target detection in remote sensing images.

Published: September 2021

We aimed to estimate the prevalence of alcohol misuse and examine its relationship with gambling severity and psychological distress in a UK treatment-seeking sample of pathological gamblers. Approximately one in four patients (27.1%) scored X 8 on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) screening tool indicating alcohol misuse, and one in four (28.1%) reported abstinence. There was no evidence of an association between alcohol misuse and gambling severity or psychological distress level. Compared to the UK general population a significantly higher proportion demonstrated probable alcohol dependence (1.2% vs. 6.3%, p < 0.001).

Authors: Olanitori Lekan Makanju , Fregene Damilola David
Published: September 2021

The focus of this paper is to examine the behavior of under and over-reinforced concrete slender beams at failure. The total number of the beams were five, with the provision of the following percentage of tension reinforcements: 1.01% for beam 1 (B1), 1.51% for beam 2 (B2), 2.01% for beam 3 (B3), 2.62% for beam 4 (B4) and 3.01% for beam 5 (B5). The beams were loaded with point loads at the center, with shear span/depth ratio of 3.8. The actual ultimate load of the experimental beam B1 was 141% of the estimated ultimate, while for beams B2, B3, B4 and B5, the actual ultimate loads were between 68% and 87% of the estimated ultimate loads for the beams respectively. The reinforced concrete beams B1, B2 and B3 had the capacity to sustain large deformation under constant loads before their ultimate failure, hence will give warning about the impending failure. For beams B4 and B5, although failed at higher loads had limited rotation capacity, hence will not give warnings about the impending failure. Therefore, 2.01% tension reinforcement is recommended as the maximum to be provided, so that the beam section can behave as a ductile section.

Authors: Bada Babatunde Saheed , Towolawi Adeleke Taofik , Oyegbami Ireyimika Esther
Published: September 2021

The study assessed carbon sequestration potential of the identified trees {Gmelina, Mango, Neem, Masquerade, Step and Cassia} along the five selected roadsides in Abeokuta metropolitan. Leaves of the identified trees were plucked, digested in triplicate and analysed for chlorophyll (Ch) A, B and A+B contents using UV-visible spectrophotometer. Obtained data were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics while correlation analysis for relationship between the analysed leaf Ch contents. Results indicated that leaf chlorophyll contents varied. The ranking of tree to metropolitan vehicular emission along roadsides was Neem < Gmelina < Mango < Masquerade tree. Correlation matrix analysis indicated that production of the Ch contents across the roadsides tree species was not alike and might be due to their specific reactions to vehicular emission. In conclusion, the order of Ch contents might be the tree species potential to withstand vehicular pollutants.

W-types in setoids
Authors: Emmenegger Jacopo
Published: September 2021

We present a construction of W-types in the setoid model of extensional
Martin-L\"of type theory using dependent W-types in the underlying intensional
theory. More precisely, we prove that the internal category of setoids has
initial algebras for polynomial endofunctors. In particular, we characterise
the setoid of algebra morphisms from the initial algebra to a given algebra as
a setoid on a dependent W-type. We conclude by discussing the case of free
setoids. We work in a fully intensional theory and, in fact, we assume identity
types only when discussing free setoids. By using dependent W-types we can also
avoid elimination into a type universe. The results have been verified in Coq
and a formalisation is available on the author's GitHub page.
Online Learning as a Catalyst for Self-directed Learning in Universities during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Maphalala Mncedisi Christian , Mkhasibe Rachel Gugu , Mncube Dumisani Wilfred
Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the use of online learning and self-directed learning to motivate and engage students. Therefore, this study sought to determine how online learning fostered self-directed learning at a South African university during this period. Higher education institutions worldwide had to shut down indefinitely following guidance from health experts to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since education is regarded as a pillar of development for all countries, some means had to be found to keep teaching and learning going irrespective of the ongoing health crisis. Hence, online learning made it possible for university students to continue learning during the emergency university closure. This was a period of reckoning, however, as many students began experiencing challenges related to poor internet connectivity and accessing digital learning devices. Despite these challenges, the solution was to reach out to all students to ensure that they were not excluded from the learning process. The sudden transition to online learning meant that students could no longer follow a well-coordinated, structured learning schedule that was guided and supervised on campus; rather, online learning meant they had to become more independent in their learning. Independent learning encourages students to be proactive and independent, a philosophy aligned to self-directed learning (SDL). This study explored the experiences of third-year student teachers in navigating SDL through online learning platforms. The study was underpinned by self-directed learning theory and adopted a qualitative case study research design, generating data from ten student teachers using a Zoom App focus group discussion. Data were analyzed using an inductive thematic analysis framework. The study found that although SDL is appropriate because it promotes learning independently, the majority of student teachers encountered several challenges when adopting online learning, catching them off guard because they were not formally introduced to it.

Authors: González Rosales Virginia Margarita
Published: September 2021

En el sector turístico, la responsabilidad social empresarial se encuentra en un momento en el que cada vez más organizaciones la incluyen como parte de las nuevas exigencias sociales que pueden otorgarles un atributo diferencial. Por tal motivo, resulta pertinente conocer las motivaciones que impulsan el desarrollo de dichas prácticas. Mediante la aplicación de encuestas, el análisis de correlaciones de Pearson y una regresión lineal simple, este trabajo tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre las motivaciones internas (ética organizacional y competitividad) y externas (presión de y relación con los stakeholders); y las prácticas de responsabilidad social empresarial en el ámbito social, ambiental y económico. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se identificó que las motivaciones internas presentaron mayor grado de asociación con todas las prácticas de responsabilidad social empresarial (r=0.636), mientras que entre las externas, la presión de los stakeholders solamente se relacionó con las prácticas medioambientales (r=0.205); y la relación con los stakeholders, con las prácticas económicas (r=0.238).
Duas ou três coisas sobre José Carlos Rodrigues
Authors: DaMatta Roberto
Published: September 2021

Encontrei Zé Carlos Rodrigues pela primeira vez em 1972, talvez 73, numa ala do Museu Nacional na qual eu tinha um excelente gabinete de trabalho. Nele, entrava-se por uma porta de correr e logo se via uma pequena mesa de reunião, uma velha pia de mão e minha grande e pesada mesa de trabalho em cujo canto, ladeando uma estante, repousava num criado-mudo minha máquina de escrever. Do lado esquerdo da minha mesa, abria-se uma enorme janela pela qual entrava luz e ar puro. Sentado na mesa, com aquela sensação fantasiosa, mas básica de controle, eu via uma grossa parede emoldurada por uma austera estante de ferro onde dormiam dezenas de livros de antropologia social.

A significação da joia na contemporaneidade:
Authors: Perez Clotilde , Pompeu Bruno
Published: September 2021

São complexas e cada vez mais desafiadoras as relações estabelecidas no âmbito do consumo. Como demonstram as teorias (sociologia e antropologia), o consumo envolve em uma lógica ritualística, mercadológica, vinculativa e relacional uma dimensão simbólica (dos significados), uma dimensão material (dos produtos) e uma dimensão humana (dos consumidores). Este artigo deriva de um esforço investigativo que abarca teoria e empiria, procurando entender os dilemas e os desafios do consumo de joias nos dias atuais. A partir do estudo realizado, de abordagem qualitativa e paradigma teórico interpretativista, propomos aqui discussões e reflexões sobre o desenvolvimento do mercado joalheiro no Brasil, o consumo simbólico na contemporaneidade e o efetivo papel da comunicação publicitária nas dinâmicas do consumo.

Остается открытым вопрос о взаимодействии коллекционера с посредниками в покупке картин. Изучение истории собирательства П.М. Третьякова может дать представление об участниках художественного рынка второй половины XIX века.

In this article, it seems important to pay attention to P.M. Tretyakov as one of the participants in the antique art market of the second part of the 19th century. The goal of this article is to define general conclusions about the preferences of Pavel Tretyakov’s acquires and to identify an area for further work. Analysis of P.M. Tretyakov in the antique art market allows us to draw general conclusions about his preferences in collecting and the principles that he adhered to, such as a focused search for works by recognized artists and the desire to achieve some completeness in the purchase of works by individual masters. The question remains about the interaction of the collector with the art dealer in the acquiring of paintings. Studying the history of collecting P.M. Tretyakov can give an idea of the participants in the art market of the second half of the 19th century and clarify the provenance of some works.
SLIKA PORODICE U DRAMAMA VRAT OD STAKLA BILjANE SRBLjANOVIĆ I TRI ZIME TENE ŠTIVIČIĆ
Authors: Savkovic Katarina
Published: September 2021

Uzimajući u obzir vreme nastanka dela, kroz razmatranje šireg konteksta, preko osnovnih dramskih postupaka, u radu ćemo analizirati dramske tesktove Vrat od stakla Biljane Srbljanović i Tri zime Tene Štivičić. Fokus komparativno zasnovanog tumačenja u tim izdvojenim dramama je slika porodice, koju ćemo osvetliti jednim širim, ali obuhvatnim istorijskim uslovima života. Interpretacija je usmerena na predočavanje dramskih postupaka, oblikovanja porodičnih relacija i karakterizacije likova. Sastavni deo analize je sagledavanje svih transformacija i posledica koje porodice trpe usled društveno- političkih, odnosno istorijskih promena. Posredstvom interpretacije dramskih tekstova izdvojenih dramskih spisateljica skreće se pažnja i na političku dinamiku i paradokse SFR Jugoslavije i vremena neposredno nakon njenog raspada. Rad je organizovan komparativno i uz specifično sužavanje „koncentičnih krugova”, tj. okvira u kojima se realizuje porodični i individualni život junaka (istorija, politika, društvo), a mi ćemo nastojati da uvidimo u kojoj meri se uloga porodice promenila usled različitih društveno-istorijskih i političkih okolnosti u kojima se našla.

In this paper article we will present the rebellion of Nikolai Berdyaev against ”ut- most objectivization of human essence” under ”extreme ideals of communism and anarchism”. This rebellion, in the philosophy and theosophy of Nikolai Berdyaev will be enveloped with the analysis of his version of christian personalism rooted in his understanding of personality, spirit, freedom, love and creativity, and their intercon- nectivity in the works Freedom and the Spirit. Apology of Christianity (1928), and Human slavery and Freedom.Essay on personalistic philosophy (1939). With fenomenological and hermeneutic method we will place a special focus on a seamingly paradoxal position of the autor himself between heresy and apology of the Orthodox Church. Philosophy of Nikolai Berdyayev will be placed between hellenism, christian personalism and western philosophy. This article seeks the answer on the following: What is hereti- cal in the teachings of Berdyayev apart his theachings of Ungrund? Can heresy of Berdyayev be found apart the mentioned teaching? And, finaly through relations of personality and history we will see the constant modernity of Berdyayev’s thought.

Published: September 2021

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relation between epicardial fat tissue (EFT) thickness and frequent premature ventricular contractions.
Methodology: In this cross-sectional study, patients with no structural heart diseases diagnosed with PVCs on a 24 holter rhythm monitoring were included. EFT thickness was measured by 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. PVCs of more than 10 per hour were considered as frequent PVCs. To investigate the effect of independent variables, univariate logistic regression was performed.
Results: Of total 50 studied patients, 64% were females. The mean age of subjects was 46.8 ± 13.1 years. Twenty-five patients were experiencing frequent PVCs of >10 per hour. In univariate analysis, age (OR= 1.05, 95 % CI; 1.01-1.10, p=0.050), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (OR= 1.14, 95 % CI; 1.01-1.28, p=0.036) and left atrial (LA) diameter (OR= 1.35, 95 % CI; 1.11-1.62, p=0.002) were significantly associated with developing frequent PVC. EFT thickness was positively correlated with age (r= 0.389, p= 0.005) and inter-ventricular septum thickness in diastole (IVSD) (r= 0.384, p= 0.006).  No significant correlation between EFT and PVCs was found (p=0.669).
Conclusion: Patients with frequent PVCs had significantly higher LVEDD and LA diameter. Although patients with higher EFT thickness were more likely to experience frequent PVCs, there was no statistically significant correlation between EFT thickness and frequent PVCs.
