The Decaying of International Institutions - Politicised Inaction and Whataboutism
Authors: - Priyanshu Pandey
Published: April 2024

Whataboutism has destroyed the political, economic, media and social spheres of human life. It has made sure that there is no fruitful exchange of ideas or distribution of knowledge but it has converted debates and discussions into futile exercises of shaming, name calling and generating sensationalism. This paper sets a premise based on Public, Nationalist and Neo-liberal events to point out the development of the ideology of Whataboutism. Through an in-depth literary and objective review of political changes in the International institutions the paper works to establish a cause and effect relationship between the internal disintegration of International bodies and Whataboutist narratives in the public forum.

The paper focuses on three institutions - United Nations (political disposition), and International Court of Justice (legal disposition), to show the overall collapse of the International world order, leaving the local geographical bodies with power vacuums and broken financial tracks. It attempts to draw a parallel between the League of Nations and United Nations to show the signs and markings of obsoletion and inaction.

To present the gravity of the situation, the paper also supplies subject matter from three important geo-political situations - namely Israeli-Palestinian Crisis, Yemen Crisis and the Sudan-Darfur conflict for the United Nations jurisdiction.

Comparative Study of Life Satisfaction, Adversity Quotient and Self-concept in Working and Non-working Women
Authors: - Shree Singhal , - Soni Kewalramani
Published: April 2024

This ex-post facto study examines the relationship between employment status and psychological variables - life satisfaction, adversity quotient, and self-concept - among married women aged 35-45 in semi-urban and urban areas of India. Utilizing purposive sampling with the snowball method, data were collected from 76 working women and 76 non-working women who met specific inclusion criteria. Assessment tools included the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) for life satisfaction, the Adversity Response Profile (ARP) for adversity quotient, and the Mohsin Self-Concept Inventory (MSCI) for self-concept. Analysis involved one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results revealed significant differences in both life satisfaction and self-concept between working and non-working women, with employed individuals reporting higher levels of satisfaction and self-concept. However, no significant difference was observed in adversity quotient between the two groups. These findings suggest that employment status may influence various aspects of psychological well-being differently among women in India. Implications for policy and intervention strategies aimed at enhancing women's overall well-being are discussed.
Bobble Head Doll Syndrome Revealing a Suprasellar Arachnoid Cyst : Case Report
Authors: - BAHBOUH Siham , - BOUAITA Kamel
Published: April 2024

Introduction
Bobble head doll syndrome (BHDS) is a rare neurological syndrome that appears in childhood. It is characterized by abnormal movements of the head, most commonly in an up-and-down motion ("yes yes") and rarely in the horizontal plane ("no no"). We report a case of BHDS revealing a large suprasellar arachnoid cyst.
Observation
A 6-year-old child was brought by his parents to a neurology consultation for abnormal head movements, which most frequently occurred in an upward and downward direction, but disappeared during sleep. These abnormal movements had been progressively worsening over the course of approximately one year. Clinical examination revealed a decrease in visual acuity in both eyes, with papillary hyperemia on fundoscopy and discreet ataxia in walking. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a compressive suprasellar arachnoid cyst with passive biventricular hydrocephalus. Surgical treatment with neuro-endoscopy led to a remarkable regression of abnormal head movements and ataxia in the immediate postoperative period, with complete disappearance in the long term.
Conclusion
Bobble head doll syndrome is a potentially "curable" entity, and diagnosis is provided by cerebral MRI.

Authors: - Irshad Ahmed Syed , - Suhale A B , - Karnan M
Published: April 2024

Introduction: The most important aspect of the blood donor selection criteria is the selection of Healthy donors for donating blood to safeguard the health of the donor as well as the patient. Based on the selection criteria donors are considered either fit or unfit (deferred) to donate blood.
Aim: Primary aim of the study is to analyze and evaluate the various causes of donor deferrals in comparison to different regional studies with special emphasis on temporary donor deferrals, in order to retain them as potential future donors.
Materials & Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with available data of all donors registered between May 2022 and Dec 2023. Donor deferral data was analyzed for various causes of deferral patterns.
Results: A total of 2003 donors registered for voluntary blood donation out of which 244(80.79%) were accepted for donation and 302(15.07 %.) were deferred for various reasons. Total number of temporary deferrals were 244(80.79%) and permanent deferrals were 58(19.20%).
Discussion: The overall deferral rate in this study was 15.48%. Low Hemoglobin (36.09%) was the commonest cause for temporary deferral and the commonest age group which had maximum deferrals was 18---25 yrs. Hypertension was the main cause of permanent deferral.
Conclusion: The incidence of donor deferral can be reduced by furnishing the appropriate information related to blood donations and educating the general public and blood donors through awareness programs. Follow up of the donors must be encouraged to remove the negative feeling in deferred donors to make them potential future donors.
Von Herbarts Lebensprozess zu Aeblis vier Funktionen im Lernprozess
Authors: Metz Peter
Published: April 2024

Seit Jahrhunderten währen die Bemühungen um einen gegliederten Unterricht. Die formalen Stufen der Herbartianer bilden darin einen problemgeschichtlichen Höhepunkt. Die ihnen widerfahrende Kritik seitens der Reformpädagogik führte aber nicht zum Verzicht auf stufige Lehrmethoden, sondern zu deren Neuauflage als "Arbeitsprozess". In Anknüpfung an den Herbartianer Ziller legte Aebli erst vor vier Jahren seine vier Lernfunktionen vor. Die reformpädagogische Kritik an einer schematisierenden Anwendung bleibt daher aktuell.

Published: April 2024

This paper explores the dynamics of highly dispersive gap solitons within the framework of the Kundu-Eckhaus equation, augmented by the inclusion of multiplicative white noise in the Itô sense, a novel addition to the model. Two integration schemes, the extended simplest equation approach and the generalized Riccati equation mapping scheme, are employed to analyze and integrate the model. Despite yielding bright, singular, and dark-singular straddled solitons, both methods independently fail to capture dark optical solitons. Additionally, our investigation highlights that the influence of white noise predominantly affects the phase aspect of the solitons, with negligible impact on their amplitude. Further details regarding the specific physical system or optical medium under study would provide readers with context, aiding in the comprehension of the significance of our findings.

Background: Since the closure of the wheat development company in Cameroon, all wheat is imported, but over the past year, the wheat prices have steadily increased in most of the countries' markets. The cost of a kilo, monitored by Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), fell from XAF 500 to XAF 600. With the use of composite flour, this will help to reduce the huge amount of money spent and lessen total dependence on imported wheat flour. Aim: The objective of this study was to produce cookies from composite flour made from coconut and wheat, and determine its nutritional properties and acceptability. Material and methods: Coconut flour was produced from fresh coconut using oven drying at standard conditions. The composite flour was formulated using the mixing plan design in Minitab 18.0. The functional properties of the flour and nutritional properties of the cookie samples were determined. Results: Results of functional properties show that the bulk density of CF1, CF2, CF3, CF4, and CF5 was 0.58, 0.50, 0.50, 0.46 and 0.47 g/L respectively; the pH was 6.42, 6.32, 6.37, 6.40, 6.46 respectively; swelling capacity was 49.10%, 44.07%, 42.02%, 46.23%, 47.09% respectively; water absorption capacity was 12%, 9%, 10.3%, 10.4%, 10% respectively; From this, the swelling capacity, water absorption and oil absorption capacity increased significantly with substitution (p < 0.05). The result of nutritional properties showed that the moisture was not affected by substitution in contrast to lipid, protein, fiber, carbohydrates, starch, amylose and amylopectin. The moisture, carbohydrate, starch and amylose decreased significantly (p < 0.05) with the substitution while ash, fat, protein and fiber increased. Results of the sensory analysis showed that the 85% wheat biscuits (CF3) had the highest scores in all the parameters evaluated and were better accepted than the other samples. Conclusion: These findings indicate that supplementation of cookies with coconut flour will improve the nutritional value of cookies and acceptability.

Authors: Fangling Du , Fei Xu , Zhijuan Yang , Yawei Zhang , ZhengJun Gao
Published: April 2024

The objective of polypectomy, a frequent endoscopic procedure, is to prevent colorectal cancer. Consequences of post-polypectomy care include minimizing complications, ensuring patient recovery, and preventing polyp recurrence. Besides monitoring polyp recurrence rates, this study assessed the effectiveness of post-polypectomy care protocols in managing patient comfort, adherence to dietary guidelines, and satisfaction with care. A cross-sectional analysis of 135 patients who underwent polypectomy at a tertiary care center was utilized in this study. Patient satisfaction, dietary adherence, post-operative comfort, and demographics were evaluated at one, three, and six months following the procedure. Recurrence of the polyp was monitored for one year. The research identified noteworthy enhancements in patient-reported comfort (P < 0.05), dietary adherence (P < 0.05), and overall satisfaction with care (P < 0.05). Additionally, complications such as infection (3.7%), bleeding (7.41%), and adherence to a prescribed diet decreased equivalently. Despite this, a trend toward increased polyp recurrence was observed that was not statistically significant, with rates increasing from 4.44% after three months to 12.59% after one year. Amid a gradual decline in dietary recommendation adherence, patient satisfaction with care remained consistently elevated. The results indicated that although prompt post-polypectomy care effectively improves patient comfort and satisfaction, long-term dietary adherence presents obstacles. Despite lacking statistical significance, the rising incidence of polyp recurrence emphasizes the criticality of diligent long-term surveillance.
Evaluation of urea breath test as a diagnostic tool for Helicobacter pylori infection in adult dyspeptic patients
Authors: Said Zeinab Nabil Ahmed , El-Nasser Asmaa Mohamed
Published: April 2024

In this editorial, we discuss the article in the World Journal of Gastroenterology . The article conducts a meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of the urea breath test (UBT), a non-invasive method for detecting Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in humans. It is based on radionuclide-labeled urea. Various methods, both invasive and non-invasive, are available for diagnosing H. pylori infection, including endoscopy with biopsy, serology for immunoglobulin titers, stool antigen analysis, and UBT. Several guidelines recommend UBTs as the primary choice for diagnosing H. pylori infection and for reexamining after eradication therapy. It is used to be the first choice non-invasive test due to their high accuracy, specificity, rapid results, and simplicity. Moreover, its performance remains unaffected by the distribution of H. pylori in the stomach, allowing a high flow of patients to be tested. Despite its widespread use, the performance characteristics of UBT have been inconsistently described and remain incompletely defined. There are two UBTs available with Food and Drug Administration approval: The 13C and 14C tests. Both tests are affordable and can provide real-time results. Physicians may prefer the 13C test because it is non-radioactive, compared to 14C which uses a radioactive isotope, especially in young children and pregnant women. Although there was heterogeneity among the studies regarding the diagnostic accuracy of both UBTs, 13C-UBT consistently outperforms the 14C-UBT. This makes the 13C-UBT the preferred diagnostic approach. Furthermore, the provided findings of the meta-analysis emphasize the significance of precise considerations when choosing urea dosage, assessment timing, and measurement techniques for both the 13C-UBT and 14C-UBT, to enhance diagnostic precision.
Chronic active and atrophic gastritis as significant contributing factor to the development of gastric cystica profunda
Authors: Papp Veronika , Miheller Pál
Published: April 2024

Gastric cystica profunda (GCP) is an uncommon but underestimated gastric lesion. Its precancerous potential determines its significance. In addition to previous mucosa injury due to operations, biopsy or polypectomy, chronic active and atrophic gastritis may also lead to the development of GCPs. By carefully examining the stomach and taking biopsy samples from the susceptible regions, the stage of atrophy can be determined. Chronic atrophic gastritis is a risk factor for cancer evolvement and it can also contribute to GCPs formation. GCPs frequently occur close to early gastric cancers (EGCs) or EGC can arise from the cystic glands. Endoscopic resection is an effective and minimally invasive treatment in GCP.

The advent of cutting-edge systemic therapies has driven advances in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and therapeutic strategies with multiple modes of delivery have been shown to be more efficacious than monotherapy. However, the mechanisms underlying this innovative treatment modality have not been elucidated.

AIM

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of targeted therapy plus immunotherapy combined with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) of FOLFOX in patients with unresectable HCC.

METHODS

We enrolled 53 patients with unresectable HCC who received a combination of targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and HAIC of FOLFOX between December 2020 and June 2021 and assessed the efficacy and safety of the treatment regimen.

RESULTS

The objective response rate was 60.4% (32/53), complete response was 24.5% (13/53), partial response was 35.9% (19/53), and stable disease was 39.6% (21/53). The median duration of response and median progression-free survival were 9.1 and 13.9 months, respectively. The surgical conversion rate was 34.0% (18/53), and 1-year overall survival was 83.0% without critical complicating diseases or adverse events (AEs).

CONCLUSION

The regimen of HAIC of FOLFOX, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy was curative for patients with unresectable HCC, with no serious AEs and a high rate of surgical conversion.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

Hemorrhoidal artery embolization (Emborrhoid) is a novel method for the treatment of severe hemorrhoidal bleeding. Despite having a technical success rate of 93%-100%, the clinical success ranges between 63% and 94%, with a rebleeding rate of 13.6%.

AIM

To evaluate the effectiveness of this procedure in reducing hemorrhoidal flow and hemorrhoidal bleeding.

METHODS

This prospective observational pilot study was conducted at Division of General Surgery 1 and Tertiary Referral Pelvic Floor Center, Treviso Regional Hospital, Italy. In a 2 months period (February-March 2022), consecutive patients with hemorrhoidal bleeding scores (HBSs) ≥ 4, Goligher scores of II or III, failure of non-operative management, and a candidate for Emborrhoid were included. Endoanal ultrasound with eco-Doppler was performed preoperatively and 1 month after the procedure. The primary endpoint was to quantify the changes in arterial hemorrhoidal flow after treatment. The secondary endpoint was to evaluate the correlation between the flow changes and the HBS.

RESULTS

Eleven patients underwent Emborrhoid. The overall pretreatment mean systolic peak (MSP) was 14.66 cm/s. The highest MSP values were found in the anterior left lateral (17.82 cm/s at 1 o’clock and 15.88 cm/s at 3 o’clock) and in the posterior right lateral (14.62 cm/s at 7 o’clock and 16.71 cm/s at 9 o’clock) quadrants of the anal canal. After treatment, the overall MSP values were significantly reduced (P = 0.008) although the correlation between MSP and HBS changes was weak (P = 0.570). A statistical difference was found between distal embolization compared with proximal embolization (P = 0.047). However, the coil landing zone was not related to symptoms improvement (P = 1.000). A significant difference in MSP changes was also reported between patients with type 1 and type 2 superior rectal artery (SRA) anatomy (P = 0.040). No relationship between hemorrhoidal grades (P = 1.000), SRA anatomy (P = 1.000) and treatment outcomes was found.

CONCLUSION

The preliminary findings of this pilot study confirm that Emborrhoid was effective in reducing the arterial hemorrhoidal flow in hemorrhoidal disease. However, the correlation between the post-operative MSP and HBS changes was weak. Hemorrhoidal grade, SRA anatomy and type of embolization were not related to treatment outcomes.
Diagnostic and prognostic performances of GALAD score in staging and 1-year mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma: A prospective study

BACKGROUND

The GALAD score has improved early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) detection rate. The role of the GALAD score in staging and predicting tumor characteristics or clinical outcome of HCC remains of particular interest.

AIM

To determine the diagnostic/prognostic performances of the GALAD score at various phases of initial diagnosis, tumor features, and 1-year mortality of HCC and compare the performance of the GALAD score with those of other serum biomarkers.

METHODS

This prospective, diagnostic/prognostic study was conducted among patients with newly diagnosed HCC at the liver center of Vajira Hospital. Eligible patients had HCC staging allocation using the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) categorization. Demographics, HCC etiology, and HCC features were recorded. Biomarkers and the GALAD score were obtained at baseline. The performance of the GALAD score and biomarkers were prospectively assessed.

RESULTS

Exactly 115 individuals were diagnosed with HCC. The GALAD score increased with disease severity. Between BCLC-0/A and BCLC-B/C/D, the GALAD score predicted HCC staging with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.868 (95%CI: 0.80–0.93). For identifying the curative HCC, the AUC of GALAD score was significantly higher than that of Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (0.753) and Lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive fraction of AFP-L3 (0.706), and as good as that of Protein induced by vitamin K absence-II (PIVKA-II) (0.897). For detecting aggressive features, the GALAD score gave an AUC of 0.839 (95%CI: 0.75–0.92) and significantly outperformed compared to that of AFP (0.761) and AFP-L3 (0.697), with a trend of superiority to that of PIVKA-II (0.772). The performance to predict 1-year mortality of GALAD score (AUC: 0.711, 95%CI: 0.60–0.82) was better than that of AFP (0.541) and as good as that of PIVKA-II (0.736). The optimal cutoff value of GALAD score was ≥ 6.83, with a specificity of 72.63% for exhibiting substantial reduction in the 1-year mortality.

CONCLUSION

The GALAD model can diagnose HCC at the curative stage, including the characteristic of advanced disease, more than that by AFP and AFP-L3, but not PIVKA-II. The GALAD score can be used to predict the 1-year mortality of HCC.
Targeting therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma by delivering microRNAs as exosomal cargo
Authors: Suda Takeshi
Published: April 2024

Exosomes, the smallest extracellular vesicles, have gained significant attention as key mediators in intercellular communication, influencing both physiological and pathological processes, particularly in cancer progression. A recent review article by Wang et al was published in a timely manner to stimulate future research and facilitate practical developments for targeted treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma using exosomes, with a focus on the origin from which exosomes derive. If information about the mechanisms for delivering exosomes to specific cells is incorporated, the concept of targeted therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma using exosomes could be more comprehensively understood.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and low muscle strength: A comment
Authors: Karim Masood Muhammad , Butt Amna Subhan
Published: April 2024

The diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease only on the basis of laboratory parameter score such as Hepatic Steatosis Index which includes liver enzymes, gender, basal metabolic index, and presence of diabetic mellitus is not sufficient to exclude other causes of deranged liver enzymes especially medications and autoimmune related liver diseases. As the guideline suggests ultrasound is the preferred first-line diagnostic procedure for imaging of NAFLD, as it provides additional diagnostic information and the combination of biomarkers/scores and transient elastography might confer additional diagnostic accuracy and evident from previous similar studies too.
