Familial adenomatous polyposis with early onset dysplasia in a Bangladeshi girl: a case report
Authors: Nahid Khan Lamia , Md Rukunuzzaman - , Khadga Mukesh , Begum Fahmida , Karim ASM Bazlul
Published: October 2020

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is characterized by hundreds to thousands of adenomatous polyps in the colon which usually starts at adolescence. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a rare, autosomal dominant condition caused by a defect in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. FAP arises from germline mutations of the APC gene on chromosome 5q21. If left untreated, all patients will develop colon cancer by age 35-40 years. Their lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is estimated to exceed 99% in patients who do not undergo a colectomy. Eventually, there is increased risk of development of other malignancies. Early surgical removal of colon can greatly reduce the spread of cancer. We reported a case of FAP whose symptoms started at early age. Early dysplastic changes were found on histological report. She had undergone prophylactic colectomy. Though appropriate timing for colectomy is late teens, she had surgery much earlier time. Ileal pouch anal anastomosis was done instead of Ileorectal anastomosis. Large sized polyps were the indication of preponed colectomy. But lifelong surveillance is necessary for the girl to detect other malignancies after colectomy

Authors: Rashid Rafia , Mazumder Md Wahiduzzaman , Karim ASM Bazlul , Begum Fahmida , Islam Fahmida , Sonia Zannatul Ferdous
Published: October 2020

von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. It occurs due to either qualitative or quantitative defect of von Willebrand Factor (VWF). VWF is a large multimeric glycoprotein necessary for platelet aggregation and adhesion to the subendothelium following any vascular injury. Typical presentation of VWD patient include mucosal bleeding, easy bruising and bleeding following minor trauma. Rarely, these patients may present with gastro intestinal bleeding. The treatment of choice in mild forms of VWD is the synthetic agent desmopressin. In patients with severe form or in children who do not response to desmopressin, the appropriate treatment is a VWF rich factor VIII concentrate. There are few case reports of VWD with upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding. So, we report a case of 9 years old female child who was admitted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in Paediatric Gastroenterology Department with the complaints of recurrent UGI bleeding for 3 years. She also had history of spontaneous gum bleeding, easy bruising, echymosis, prolong bleeding following minor trauma since early age. After appropriate evaluation of the patient including history and relevant investigation, she was diagnosed as a case of VWD with GI bleeding. We report this as it is a rare presentation of VWD.

Published: October 2020

Background: Anaemia is very common in hypothyroid patient. The results of the type of anaemia in hypothyroid patient studied outside may not be similar on Bangladeshi population. So far, there is no such study regarding the types of anaemia in hypothyroid patients in Bangladeshi population.

Methods: This was a cross sectional study in patients with hypothyroidism who was attending in the thyroid and endocrine clinic of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka over a period of one year. All newly diagnosed cases were selected considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection.

Results: Fifty newly detected hypothy sroid patients were studied among the study population, 52.0%   was between 05 to 35 years and another 48.0% were in 36 to 65 years. 76.0% were female. Bradycardia was found in 20.0% cases. Puffiness of face, peripheral oedema and cold intoleran ce were found in 78.0%, 68.0% and 82.0% cases respectively. Hoarseness of voice, delayed relaxation of tendon reflexes and paraesthesia were found in about 80.0% cases. Myxoedema and vitiligo were found in 54.0% and 6% cases. FT4 level was reduced in 100.0% cases (Normal range of FT4-9.14-23.81 pmol/L). The mean of FT4 was 5.10 pmol/L. On the other hand TSH level increased in all cases (Normal range of TSH-0.47-5.0l mIU/L). The mean of TSH was 109.88 mIU/L. 50 cases were positive anti TG-Ab and also anti PO­-Ab was positive in Fifty cases. Hemoglobin concentration was reduced in 70.0% cases. The mean of haemoglobin concentration was 10.67 gm/dl. In this present study, association of serum anti TG Ab and anti PO Ab of the patients with hypothyroidism and their corresponding hemoglobin concentration were found significant (p<0.05) but on the other hand there was no association between serum FT4 of the patients with hypothyroidism and their corresponding haemoglobin concentration (p> 0.05). Normocytic normochromic anaemia were found in 64.0% cases, and Microcytic hypochromic anaemia in 32% and Macrocytic anaemia in 4.0% of the cases. Iron deficiency was found in 90.0% and chronic blood loss in 44.0% of the cases.

Conclusion:  Anaemia is frequently found in hypothyroid patients. So, hypothyroidism should be excluded in anaemia of nonspecific origin.

Authors: Haroon Kaisar , Taher T , Rahman M , Barua KK
Published: October 2020

Background: Brain abscess is a neurosurgical emergency. It has to be evacuated without any delay. Though these patients may have congenital heart diseases with ASD and VSD, presence of situs inversus and dextrocardia are relatively uncommon in neurosurgical practice.

Objective: The aim was to present the case with multiple episodes of convulsions and gradual deterioration of consciousness without history of fever.

Methods: The case was carefully evaluated with taking history and examining the patient. Diagnosis was confirmed with a MRI of the brain. It had shown a large ring enhancing lesion in the left temporal lobe which was diagnosed as brain abscess.

Results: The patient underwent left temporal craniotomy and the abscess was totally removed along with the capsule. He made an uneventful recovery.

Conclusion: Dextrocardia and cardiac congenital anomalies are serious conditions especially when they are accompanied with brain abscess. But prompt surgery and careful intraoperative and postoperative care can help the patient to recover early without any adverse event.

Authors: Pervez Abu Faisal Md , Lee Kyu Han , Islam Farzana , Hassan Md Kamrul , Biswas Rajib
Published: October 2020

Considering the high risk of neonatal sepsis in low and middle-income countries, empirical antibiotic therapy is commonly employed in most cases to clinically suspected septic neonates without the aid of culture and antibiotic sensitivity report. Increasing antimicrobial resistance is posing a threat to these practices and urges the obligation for understanding the causative organisms and their changing resistance pattern at the local level. Aim of this study was to identify the pathogens responsible for neonatal sepsis and understand their current antimicrobial resistance pattern. This prospective study was undertaken in the Special Care Newborn Unit of the Faridpur Medical College Hospital from October 2017 to November 2018. Venous blood culture and antimicrobial susceptibility of 56 suspected neonatal sepsis cases were studied. Among the 56 clinically suspected cases 86% had culture positive isolates in the specimen. Predominant isolates were Klebsiella (42%) and coagulase-negative staphylococci (25%). Of all the identified bacteria, 88% were resistant to >_ 3 classes of antibiotics. Eighty-five percent of Klebsiella isolates were found to be carbapenem-resistant along with 100% of E. coli isolates and 95% of Klebsiella isolates had possible extended spectrum b -lactamase production. Seventy-five percent of Acinetobacter isolates were multidrug-resistant and 100% of coagulase-negative staphylococci were methicillin resistant. The array of causative organisms and their increasing resistance to commonly practiced antibiotics are alarming. It is urgent to develop strategies focusing on all healthcare levels to cease the spread of antimicrobial resistance in an effort to reduce the burden of neonatal sepsis.

Kehittävän työntutkimuksen peruskäsitteitä
Authors: Engeström Yrjö
Published: October 2020

Kehittävä työntutkimus on nopeasti kehittyvä uusi, monitieteellinen lähestymistapa työn ja koulutuksen tutkimuksessa ja kehittämisessä. Sen perustana on kulttuurihistoriallisen toiminnan teorian muodostama paradigma. Tässä artikkelissa hahmotellaan pelkistetty yleiskuva tästä lähestymistavasta ja sen peruskäsitteistä. Näin ollen käsitteiden historiallinen johtaminen ja konkreetit sovellusesimerkit jäävät pakostakin niukoiksi. Tämän numeron muissa artikkeleissa annetaan esimerkkejä lähestymistavan soveltamisesta. Lähdeluettelossa mainitut tekstit puolestaan tarjoavat kiinnostuneille lukijoille mahdollisuuden tutustua seikkaperäisemmin käsitteiden perustaan.

A “história secreta” do triunfo do toyotismo: movimento operário e luta de classes no Japão do pós-guerra
Authors: Santiago Joao Carlos da Silva
Published: October 2020

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a luta do movimento operário no Japão após a II Guerra Mundial e como, a partir de sua derrota, foi possível o surgimento do toyotismo e do sindicato por empresa, contrapondo-se a uma ideologia do “consenso”, da “cultura japonesa”, da “autoridade”, trazida por diversos autores e que estariam na base da harmonia das atuais relações trabalhistas no Japão. Esta pesquisa é estritamente bibliográfica e de revisão da literatura histórica e sociológica acerca do movimento operário e das relações de trabalho toyotistas. Como resultado de nossa pesquisa vimos que, ao contrário dos teóricos do “consenso” e da “cultura japonesa”, a implantação do toyotismo como um novo processo de trabalho capitalista só foi possível com a derrota de um dos movimentos operários mais combativos do mundo, o japonês, com uma larga tradição de luta desde o final do século XIX.  “Just in time”, “kanban”, “sindicato-empresa”, são categorias que encerram anos de luta de classes no Japão do pós-guerra, e não apenas categorias “mortas”.

A levana é formada por unidades de frutose e produzida por micro-organismos a partir da fermentação de um meio de cultura contendo sacarose e sais minerais. É um biopolímero com aplicações industriais usado na área alimentícia (fixador de cores e sabores, espessante e estabilizante) e também na farmacêutica (substituto de plasma sanguíneo, imunomodulador, anticarcinogênico e hipocolesterolêmico). Esse trabalho teve como objetivo abordar especificamente aspectos relacionados ao delineamento da produção de levana pela bactéria Zymomonas mobilis CCT 4494, variando os parâmetros de uma fermentação submersa. As condições para a fermentação e produção foram avaliadas por um planejamento fatorial e foi aplicada a metodologia de superfície de resposta. Os resultados demonstram que o baixo valor de p encontrado para o intercepto levana (Y1), indicou que os níveis estudados nesta pesquisa foram bem escolhidos e que o coeficiente de regressão da equação descreveu o experimento acima de 99% de confiança. Das variáveis independentes analisadas, a agitação e sua combinação binária com a temperatura apresentaram as maiores diferenças significativas nos resultados. O maior cultivo do biopolímero foi de 10,58 g.L-1 de levana. Os valores de levana e da biomassa reduziram significativamente em temperaturas superiores a 30 °C e o produto da fermentação, como o crescimento de Zymomonas mobilis CCT 4494, foram proporcionais ao aumento da concentração de sacarose testada.

Published: October 2020

Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease related to the autoimmune response against pancreatic β-cells. Zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8), an islet-specific gene product localized to the β-cell insulin granule, was recently identified as an autoantigen in T1D.Purpose: To evaluate the use of ZnT8 autoantibody (ZnT8A) for diagnosing T1D.Methods: This case-control study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, from March to May 2019. Children younger than 18 years of age with T1D based on the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes guideline and healthy controls were included. We measured ZnT8A level using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cutoff value, 0.315).Results: There were 30 children with T1D (50.0% boys; mean age, 11.3±3.7 years) and 18 healthy controls (44.4% boys; mean age, 8.3±3.1 years); 1 patient in each group was Madurese, while the others were Javanese. Twenty-two of 30 subjects with T1D (73.3%) tested positive for ZnT8A compared to 5 of 18 controls (27.8%) (P=0.02; odds ratio, 7.15; 95% confidence interval, 1.93–26.52). When ZnT8A-positive and -negative T1D cases were compared, no differences were detected in age at diagnosis, duration of diabetes, presence of ketoacidosis, body mass index, glycosylated hemoglobin concentration, or C-peptide concentrations.Conclusion: ZnT8A may be useful in the diagnosis of T1D.

Cannabinoids are a group of compounds found naturally in animal and plant organisms, and in the human body. Cannabinoids can be extracted from cannabis varieties, differing in morphological structure. In addition to cannabinoids, cannabis contains a number of active compounds, including terpenes, flavonoids, phenanthrenes, spiroindanes, and dihydrostilbens.

Epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis are neurological diseases the symptoms of which dramatically impair patients’ quality of life. If standard pharmacotherapy does not bring the expected results, attempts are made to introduce alternative methods of therapy. One of them is the use of cannabis-based preparations containing two main active substances, i.e. THC and CBD. Preliminary results of clinical trials with cannabis-based preparations indicate a potential therapeutic effect in reducing the frequency of seizures in drug-resistant epilepsy among children. However, this needs to be proven in further properly planned studies. In patients with MS, their use may reduce pain and spasticity. In Parkinson’s disease, most of the data on the potential benefits of cannabis-based preparations comes from preclinical studies.

The purpose of the studies was to confirm the effectiveness of the use of “medical cannabis.” However, the results of the studies are not clear. On this account, cannabis use is still not a legalised method of therapy in most countries. However, cannabis is more and more often used in severe cases of resistance to treatment.

The aim of this paper is to critically analyse contemporary scientific data on the possible use of medical cannabis.

Background/Aims: Although coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly worldwide, the implication of pre-existing liver disease on the outcome of COVID-19 remains unresolved.
Methods: A total of 1,005 patients who were admitted to five tertiary hospitals in South Korea with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were included in this study. Clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients with coexisting liver disease as well as the predictors of disease severity and mortality of COVID-19 were assessed.
Results: Of the 47 patients (4.7%) who had liver-related comorbidities, 14 patients (1.4%) had liver cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis was more common in COVID-19 patients with severe pneumonia than in those with non-severe pneumonia (4.5% vs. 0.9%, P=0.006). Compared to patients without liver cirrhosis, a higher proportion of patients with liver cirrhosis required oxygen therapy; were admitted to the intensive care unit; had septic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or acute kidney injury; and died (P<0.05). The overall survival rate was significantly lower in patients with liver cirrhosis than in those without liver cirrhosis (log-rank test, P=0.003). Along with old age and diabetes, the presence of liver cirrhosis was found to be an independent predictor of severe disease (odds ratio, 4.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.20–17.02;P=0.026) and death (hazard ratio, 2.86; 95% CI, 1.04–9.30; P=0.042) in COVID-19 patients.
Conclusions: This study suggests liver cirrhosis is a significant risk factor for COVID-19. Stronger personal protection and more intensive treatment for COVID-19 are recommended in these patients.
Multiplicity of ‘re-entrant’ cholesteric structures in DNA liquid-crystalline dispersions
Authors: Yevdokimov Yu M , Skuridin S G , Salyanov V I , Semenov S V , Kats E I
Published: October 2020

Information about properties of liquid-crystalline dispersions of DNA molecules formed as a result of their phase exclusion is systematized. The influence of temperature and osmotic pressure on the structure of these dispersions has been elucidated in the framework of the concept of ‘quasinematic’ layers of orientationally ordered DNA molecules in dispersion particles. A new hexagonal → ‘re-entrant’ cholesteric packing phase transition of DNA molecules discovered by the authors is described, taking into account the generalized Lindemann criterion. The multiplicity of the ‘re-entrant’ phases and their structure are shown to depend on the characteristics of DNA and water-polymer solutions.
Mes'ûd'i'de Şiîlik Eğilimi (Teşeyyu') Olduğu Eleştirisi Üzerine
Authors: ESER Mithat
Published: October 2020

İslam tarihçileri zaman zaman Şiî veya Şiîliğe eğilimi (teşeyyu‘) olmakla tenkit edilmiştir. Mes‘ûdî, söz konusu eleştiriye muhatap İslam tarihçilerinden birisidir. Bazıları Mes‘ûdî’nin İmâmiye Şîa’sından olduğunu söylemişlerdir. Bazıları ise onun Şiîliğe eğilimi (teşeyyu‘) olduğunu iddia etmişlerdir. İddialarına farklı gerekçeler ortaya koymuşlardır. Onun elimizdeki eserleri Mürûcü’z-Zeheb ile et-Tenbîh ve’l-İşrâf incelendiğinde söz konusu iddiaların gerçeği yansıtmadığı görülmektedir. Görüldüğü kadarıyla İmâmiye Şîa’sına mensup alimler, Mes‘ûdî’yi kendi mezheplerinden göstermeye çalışmaktadırlar. Onlar, bu amaçla İsbâtü’l-Vasiyye li’l-İmâm Ali b. Ebî Tâlib isimli eseri ona nispet etmektedirler. Bu doğru bir husus değildir. Ancak Mes‘ûdî’nin Hz. Ali ve evladına karşı bir muhabbetinin ve meylinin olduğu da görülmektedir. Onun, Hz. Ali ve evladı için kullandığı dil bu gerçeği göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada, İslam tarihçilerine yöneltilen tenkitlerin sağlam delillere dayalı olması gerektiği görülmüştür. Kişilerin beyanları ve açık ifadeleri bu noktada önem arz etmektedir. Aksi taktirde İslam tarihçileri ve eserlerini farklı gösterme söz konusu olabilir. Bu da söz konusu tarihçilerin eserlerinden yararlanma konusunda önyargılı bir yaklaşıma sebep olabilir.
RETRACTED: X-Linked Immunodeficient Mice With No Functional Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Are Protected From Sepsis-Induced Multiple Organ Failure

We previously reported the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors ibrutinib and acalabrutinib improve outcomes in a mouse model of polymicrobial sepsis. Now we show that genetic deficiency of the BTK gene alone in Xid mice confers protection against cardiac, renal, and liver injury in polymicrobial sepsis and reduces hyperimmune stimulation (“cytokine storm”) induced by an overwhelming bacterial infection. Protection is due in part to enhanced bacterial phagocytosis in vivo, changes in lipid metabolism and decreased activation of NF-κB and the NLRP3 inflammasome. The inactivation of BTK leads to reduced innate immune cell recruitment and a phenotypic switch from M1 to M2 macrophages, aiding in the resolution of sepsis. We have also found that BTK expression in humans is increased in the blood of septic non-survivors, while lower expression is associated with survival from sepsis. Importantly no further reduction in organ damage, cytokine production, or changes in plasma metabolites is seen in Xid mice treated with the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, demonstrating that the protective effects of BTK inhibitors in polymicrobial sepsis are mediated solely by inhibition of BTK and not by off-target effects of this class of drugs.

In this study, a simple model, based on a light-use-efficiency model, was developed in order to estimate growth and yield of the irrigated winter wheat under semi-arid conditions. The originality of the proposed method consists in (1) the modifying of the expression of the conversion coefficient (εconv) by integrating an appropriate stress threshold (ksconv) for triggering irrigation, (2) the substitution of the product of the two maximum coefficients of interception (εimax) and conversion (εconv_max) by a single parameter εmax, (3) the modeling of εmax as a function of the Cumulative Growing Degree Days (CGDD) since sowing date, and (4) the dynamic expression of the harvest index (HI) as a function of the CGDD and the final harvest index (HI0) depending on the maximum value of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The calibration and validation of the proposed model were performed based on the observations of wheat dry matter (DM) and grain yield (GY) which were collected on the R3 irrigated district of the Haouz plain (center of Morocco), during three agricultural seasons. Further, the outputs of the simple model were also evaluated against the AquaCrop model estimates. The model calibration allowed the parameterization of εmax in four periods according to the wheat phenological stages. By contrast, a linear evolution was sufficient to represent the relationship between HI and CGDD. For the model validation, the obtained results showed a good agreement between the estimated and observed values with a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of about 1.07 and 0.57 t/ha for DM and GY, respectively. These correspond to a relative RMSE of about 19% for DM and 20% for GY. Likewise, although of its simplicity, the accuracy of the proposed model seems to be comparable to that of the AquaCrop model. For GY, R2, and RMSE values were respectively 0.71 and 0.44 t/ha for the developed approach and 0.88 and 0.37 t/ha for AquaCrop. Thus, the proposed simple light-use-efficiency model can be considered as a useful tool to correctly reproduce DM and GY values.
