Purpose: Cancer-related Emergency Department Visits (EDV) are costly and may indicate poor care. Most studies of cancer-related EDV identify patients using inclusive diagnostic codes but lack precision since they don’t distinguish active cancer. We compared estimates of oncology-related EDV made by diagnostic code methods to a more specific method followed by chart review. We also studied characteristics of validated EDV. Methods: EDV from cancer patients at a single acute care hospital were measured using any inclusive oncology codes and was compared to EDV made by patients who were active attendees at cancer clinics. We then reviewed the records of a 50% random sample of the ‘active’ patients to estimate how many were related to cancer or cancer treatment. Results: Over 5 months, 790 oncology-EDV were identified by coding, but only 554 (70%) were made by ‘active’ patients. After review, 29% of active patient EDV was determined not to be related to an oncology problem or treatment. 48% of EDV occurred during daytime clinic hours. 79% were preceded by one or more contacts with the oncology care team within a week. There was variability in the number of EDV by patients of different oncologists. Conclusion: The impact of cancer in overall EDV counts is over-estimated by coding because coding cannot distinguish between active and inactive cancer nor discriminate between symptoms likely due to unlikely due to cancer or cancer treatments. Cancer programs should study the experiences of their own patients to design effective programs to reduce potentially avoidable utilization.

Background: In people undergoing curative radiation treatment to the head and neck region the local effects like mucositis, dysphasia, dermatitis, salivary dysfunction and systemic effects like anaemia and leucopoenia are major issues. Folic acid is always provided when a patient has anaemia and is also regularly used in the care of cancer patients. However, literature study indicates that the quantum of beneficial effects of folic acid supplementing to patients undergoing curative radiotherapy are lacking. In lieu of these observations the present study was conducted to ascertain the beneficial effect of folic acid supplementation to head and neck cancer (HNC) patients undergoing curative radiotherapy. Methods: This was an observational study and was carried out in HNC patients planned for curative radiotherapy. The folic acid levels were estimated at the start of the study. Patients who had folic acid less than 20 ng/ml were prescribed folic acid (5 mg TID) for the first two weeks. The incidence of mucositis, dysphasia, dermatitis, salivary dysfunction, anaemia and leucopoenia were analysed at the end of the study. For analysis we studied what is the effect in people who had folic acid less than and, above 5 ng/ml and analysed the results using the X2 analysis. Results: The results indicated that there was a significant difference (p = 0.03) was seen in the incidence of leukopenia in the volunteers who had less than 5 ng/ml of folic acid. A significant difference in the incidence of severe dermatitis (P = 0.04) and in weight loss (P = 0.02) was also observed. Conclusions: The study findings suggest that when compared to the patients who had folic acid less than 5 ng/ml, administering folic acid was beneficial in mitigating dermatitis, weight loss and leucopenia in people with folic acid above 5 ng/ml. More studies are required to ascertain the benefit of folic acid.

The cutaneous mastocytosis is characterized by infiltration and proliferation of mast cells in the skin with no evidence of extracutaneous involvement. The clinical findings most frequently found are brownish macules or papules slightly elevated, frequently localized in the limbs, chest and abdomen. Mutations in the c-kit receptor (CD117) are frequent and provide the pathophysiology basis of the disease. These mutations allow autophosphorylation of the c-kit receptor and subsequent degranulation of mast cell precipitated with a variety of stimuli, releasing local or systemic cell mediators capable of causing symptoms. Skin lesions occur in both the systemic and the cutaneous form of the disease, though the latter is more frequently seen in children, while most adults with mastocytosis present signs and symptoms of systemic involvement. Although this clinical pattern, we report a rare case of adult-onset cutaneous mastocytosis in a masculine patient of 32 years old. Clinical presentation featured hyperpigmented macules with brownish coloration diffused through the chest and limbs. Skin and bone marrow biopsies and laboratory testing were made and strengthened the diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytosis, a clinical presentation with little similar case reports.
Immunotherapy of Bladder Cancer
Authors:   R&D department, Cadila Pharmaceuticals Limited, Ahmedabad, India, Bakulesh Khamar
Published: February 2021

Bladder cancer used to be the only cancer treated by immunotherapy in form of intravesical BCG. Since approval of BCG for Non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), there has been significant advancement in our knowledge about immune alteration in cancer and availability of immunotherapeutic agents. Tumor induced cell mediated immunosuppression is identified as a key factor for development and progression of cancer. Immune suppression in bladder cancer is predominantly through Macrophages. Myeloid derived suppressor cell, NK cells, Treg and expression of immune checkpoint receptor inhibitors also contribute to immune suppression. BCG induces innate immune response and its efficacy is limited to NMIBC. Novel immunotherapeutic agents evaluated in bladder cancer are administered locally or systemically to induce innate or adaptive immune response. Systemic administration of antibodies against PD-1/PD-L1 axis are now approved for treatment of locally advanced/metastatic bladder cancer as a first line as well as second line therapy. Pembrolizumab is also approved for BCG unresponsive NMIBC. Since response to immunotherapy are neither uniform nor universal, attempts are made to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers. Identified biomarkers lack desired specificity and sensitivity. Several immune approaches using innate as well as adaptive mechanism are under evaluation to improve outcome of intravesical BCG or immune check point receptor inhibitors.

There is no doubt that the modern scientific medicine helps in sustaining human life, but tends to forget terminal ill experiences unlike other illness is accompanied by several mental and psychological factors. The core criteria to deliver quality of life in terminal illness are to assess its bi-products like mental disharmony, depression, and the psychological issues. The spiritual psychotherapy is a modern humanistic approach that has holistic view on human illness in health and medical sciences. It is an effective coping mechanism to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and suffering that are frequently experienced by terminally ill patients to delivered quality of life and meaning making policy in the clinical settings. Palliative end-of-life care on the other hand main objective is to improve quality of life of the terminal patients and the family that includes the physical, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing assessments. Considering the helplessness conditions of the terminal patients the spiritual psychotherapy is the urgent needs as it viewed human illness as the complex interplay between the biopsychosocial-spiritual factors. Especially when the patient is in the context of healing impossibility, spirituality plays an important role in meeting the needs of the dying individual’s before the inevitable death strikes. Objective/Purpose The purpose of this analytical review is to ponder on the role of spirituality in meaning-making and a source of hope mainly when cure is not possible in the terminal experiences. It is also to find out how spirituality serves as a coping mechanism in the face of inevitable death and makes life more meaningful to the dying individuals. Method The propose study will use philosophical inquiry on the existing literatures.

Overexpression/amplification of erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2) is a major prognostic factor in gastroesophageal cancers; it is currently the only biomarker established for the selection of targeted therapy for patients with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). Current standard procedure for determining ERBB2 status in such patients is immunohistochemistry (IHC), followed by in situ hybridization (ISH), when IHC result is equivocal. Insufficient knowledge regarding the utilities of chromosomal microarray (CMA) has hindered its use as an adjunct tool in ERBB2 analysis. Here, we performed CMA on 7 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) GEA specimens previously tested by ERBB2 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and evaluated the concordance and performance of CMA. CMA identified 4 (57.1%) samples with amplification of ERBB2, compared to 3 (42.9%) by FISH. CMA also detected several additional DNA copy number variants in these samples, which may have prognostic and therapeutic indications. Further case studies and clinical trials may provide evidence for the utility of CMA-based genomic studies in the management of patients with suspected ERBB2-positive gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Authors: Young John , Adams Robert , Gedney Stephen
Published: February 2021

In this paper, a nonlinear electrostatic surface integral equation is presented that is suitable for predicting corrosion-related fields. Nonlinear behavior arises due to electrochemical reactions at polarized surfaces. Hierarchical H2 matrices are used to compress the discretized integral equation for the fast solution of large problems. A technique based on randomized linear algebra is discussed for the efficient computation of the Jacobian matrix required at each iteration of a nonlinear solution.

Authors: Varin Charles , Emms Rhys , Bart Graeme , Fennel Thomas , Brabec Thomas
Published: February 2021

Including optical nonlinearity in FDTD software in a stable, efficient, and rigorous way can be challenging. Traditional methods address this challenge by solving an implicit form of
Maxwell’s equations iteratively. Reaching numerical convergence over the entire numerical space at each time step demands significant computational resources, which can be a limiting factor for the modeling of large-scale three-dimensional nonlinear optics problems (complex photonics devices, laser filamentation, ...). Recently, we proposed an explicit methodology based on a nonlinear generalization of the Lorentz dispersion model and
developed example cases where it was used to account for both linear and nonlinear optical effects. An overview of this work is proposed here.

Design of Ultra Low Profile Inverted L Antenna Composed of CPW Printed on PET Sheet for IoT Application
Authors: Taguchi Mitsuo
Published: February 2021

The ultra low profile inverted L (ULPIL) antenna on a rectangular conducting plane is located above the lower conducting plane and numerically analyzed for the application
of IoT. The coplanar waveguide (CPW) is inserted within the antenna element. The antenna element is printed on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet. The shift of the resonant frequency of this antenna is small due to the existence of lower conducting plane. The influence of the existence of the lower conducting plane can be neglected when the distance between the ULPIL antenna and the lower conducting plane is longer than 6 mm (0.049 wavelength). Therefore the ULPIL antenna may be promising for the IoT application.

Published: February 2021

Electromagnetic coupling to realistic wire configurations exhibit large variations with respect to the frequency, incident angle, and polarization of the interfering signal. In this work, Characteristic Mode Analysis (CMA) is used to calculate the fundamental modes of a terminated wire above an infinite ground plane. Using the properties of the modes, the
coupled currents to the wire’s loads are predicted for different incident excitations. Using this simple but practical wire configuration, we show the versatility of CMA in practical
electromagnetic interference and coupling applications.

Publishing, Bootlegging, Piracy and the Public in Nigeria
Authors:   Department of Mass Communication, Covenant University, Ota, Nigeria, JAMES Dorathy
Published: February 2021

The publishing of educative materials, fictional and non-fictional books, bulletins, magazines, and newspapers is all for disseminating information to targeted readers. The importance of books and other types of publications to individuals and a nation cannot be overemphasised. Thus, due to how important publishing is, bootlegging, which is the synonym of piracy, was examined in this study. The study examined how bootlegging affects publishing, and if the public is aware of public relations as a body that can curb piracy. However, the Excellence Theory, propounded by James Grunig, was adopted with a random sampling method using survey design. More so, a total of 200 questionnaires were retrieved from the respondents out of 250. The study used Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to code the respondents' data. According to the findings, both teachers and students are unaware of Public Relations’ function in the publishing industry while the respondents mostly mentioned the government as the body responsible for curbing bootlegging, and that was because the public has limited knowledge on how Public Relations can effectively curb bootlegging in the publishing industry. Thus, this study recommends that the public should be made aware of the functions of Public Relations. Likewise, the publishing industries should not rely only on the government to curb piracy, but they should seek Public Relations agencies' services to curb piracy effectively.
