Published: December 2020

COVID-19 has resulted in a pandemic after its first appearance in a pneumonia patient in China in early December 2019. As per WHO, this global outbreak of novel COVID-19 has resulted in 28,329,790 laboratory-confirmed cases and 911,877 deaths which have been reported from 210 countries as on 12th Sep 2020. The major symptoms at the beginning of COVID-19 are fever (98%), tussis (76%), sore throat (17%), rhinorrhea (2%), chest pain (2%), and myalgia or fatigue (44%). Furthermore, acute respiratory distress syndrome (61.1%), cardiac dysrhythmia (44.4%), shock (30.6%), hemoptysis (5%), stroke (5%), acute cardiac injury (12%), acute kidney injury (36.6%), dermatological symptoms with maculopapular exanthema (36.1%), and death can occur in severe cases. Even though human coronavirus (CoV) is mainly responsible for the infections of the respiratory tract, some studies have shown CoV (in case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, SARS and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, MERS) to possess potential to spread to extra-pulmonary organs including the nervous system as well as gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Patients infected with COVID-19 have also shown symptoms associated with neurological and enteric infection like disorders related to smell/taste, loss of appetite, nausea, emesis, diarrhea, and pain in the abdomen. In the present review, we attempt to evaluate the understanding of basic mechanisms involved in clinical manifestations of COVID-19, mainly focusing on interaction of COVID-19 with gut-brain axis. This review combines both biological characteristics of the virus and its clinical manifestations in order to comprehend an insight into the fundamental potential mechanisms of COVID-19 virus infection, and thus endorse in the advancement of prophylactic and treatment strategies.

Published: December 2020

COVID-19 is typically associated with fever and severe respiratory symptoms including dry cough and dyspnea. However, COVID-19 may also affect both central and peripheral nervous systems. To date, the incidence rate of spinal cord involvement in COVID-19 is not known and the pathogenesis is still not fully understood. We report here two female patients admitted to Assiut University Hospitals/Egypt during the period from first of July to August 10, 2020. Both presented with a positive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) nasopharyngeal swab, elevated serum d-dimer and ferritin levels, and bilateral ground glass appearance in a CT chest scan. The first was a 60-year-old female with acute onset of flaccid paraplegia 10 days after flu-like symptoms, in whom MRI revealed transverse myelitis. The second was a 21-year-old female with symptoms of acute quadriplegia, fever, headache, and anosmia in whom an MRI scan revealed long cervico-thoracic myelopathy. Anterior spinal artery occlusion and possibly transverse myelitis were considered as differential diagnosis of long segment myelopathy.

Published: December 2020

Since its emergence, the novel coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has had enormous physical, social, and psychological impacts worldwide. The aim of this article was to identify elements of our knowledge on asbestos exposure and malignant mesothelioma (MM) that can provide insight into the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and be used to develop adequate interventions. Although the etiology of Covid-19 and MM differs, their psychological impacts have common characteristics: in both diseases, there is a feeling of being exposed through aerial contagion to an “invisible killer” without boundaries that can strike even the strongest individuals. In both cases, affected persons can experience personality dysfunction, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic symptoms; helplessness, hopelessness, and projection of destructive thoughts onto external forces often emerge, while defense mechanisms such as denial, splitting, repression, and reduced emotional expression are used by individuals to contain their overwhelming anxieties. We believe that in both diseases, an integrated multidimensional intervention offered by hospitals and other public health services is the most effective approach to alleviating patients’ and caregivers’ psychological distress. In particular, we emphasize that in the context of both MM and COVID-19, Brief Psychoanalytic Group therapy can help patients and caregivers attribute meaning to the significant changes in their lives related to the experience of the disease and identify adaptive strategies and more realistic relational modalities to deal with what has happened to them. We also highlight the importance of developing a surveillance system that includes individual anamnestic evaluation of occupational risk factors for COVID-19 disease.
Re-examining the Role of Coping Strategies in the Associations Between Infertility-Related Stress Dimensions and State-Anxiety: Implications for Clinical Interventions With Infertile Couples
Authors: Zurlo Maria Clelia , Cattaneo Della Volta Maria Francesca , Vallone Federica
Published: December 2020

Research has shown a direct relationship between infertility-related stress and anxiety in infertile patients. The present study goes into this relationship in depth, testing the moderating role of coping strategies (Seeking Social Support, Avoidant, Positive Attitude, Problem-Solving, Turning to Religion) in the associations between specific infertility-related stress dimensions (Social Concern, Need for Parenthood, Rejection of Childfree Lifestyle, Couple’s Relationship Concern) and State-Anxiety among male and female partners of infertile couples. Gender differences were also explored. Both members of 254 infertile couples completed a questionnaire consisting of Socio-demographics, Fertility Problem Inventory–Short Form (FPI-SF), Coping Orientation to Problem Experienced–New Italian Version (COPE-NIV), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Y (STAI-Y). The results revealed that Social Concern and Couple’s Relationship Concern, in both partners, and Need for Parenthood, in female partners, had positive correlations with State-Anxiety. Seeking Social Support and Avoidant coping were related to increasing levels of State-Anxiety in both partners, whereas Positive Attitude coping strategies were related to lower levels of State-Anxiety in female partners. Problem-Solving and Avoidant coping played moderating roles between specific infertility-related stress dimensions and State-Anxiety in unexpected directions. Problem-Solving exacerbated the negative effects of Social Concern, whereas Avoidant coping buffered the negative effects of several infertility-related stress dimensions in both partners. Interventions to improve stress management and psychological health in infertile couples should consider that the adequacy of coping strategies is inherently situation specific. It therefore follows that patient-centered clinical interventions should consider the potential inadequacy of promoting Problem-Solving strategies, and that even Avoidance can be an efficient strategy for dealing with specific infertility-related stress dimensions.

Our objective in this study was to determine if machine learning (ML) can automatically recognize neonatal manipulations, along with associated changes in physiological parameters. A retrospective observational study was carried out in two Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) between December 2019 to April 2020. Both the video and physiological data (heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2)) were captured during NICU hospitalization. The proposed classification of neonatal manipulations was achieved by a deep learning system consisting of an Inception-v3 convolutional neural network (CNN), followed by transfer learning layers of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). Physiological signals prior to manipulations (baseline) were compared to during and after manipulations. The validation of the system was done using the leave-one-out strategy with input of 8 s of video exhibiting manipulation activity. Ten neonates were video recorded during an average length of stay of 24.5 days. Each neonate had an average of 528 manipulations during their NICU hospitalization, with the average duration of performing these manipulations varying from 28.9 s for patting, 45.5 s for a diaper change, and 108.9 s for tube feeding. The accuracy of the system was 95% for training and 85% for the validation dataset. In neonates <32 weeks’ gestation, diaper changes were associated with significant changes in HR and SpO2, and, for neonates ≥32 weeks’ gestation, patting and tube feeding were associated with significant changes in HR. The presented system can classify and document the manipulations with high accuracy. Moreover, the study suggests that manipulations impact physiological parameters.
Reactive High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering of Chromium-Carbon Films
Authors: Kuo Chin-Chiuan , Lin Chun-Hui , Chang Jing-Tang , Lin Yu-Tse
Published: December 2020

Chromium-carbon films were deposited by utilizing reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering at different mixture ratios of ethyne and argon atmosphere, and different substrate bias voltages and deposition temperature, with the same pulse frequency, duty cycle, and average power. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the obtained films were compared. The films consist of amorphous or nanocrystalline chromium carbide, hydrogenated amorphous carbon, and minor α-chromium phase. Decreasing the fraction of ethyne increases the content of the α-chromium phase but decreases hydrogenated amorphous carbon phase. The film’s hardness increases by enhancing the negative substrate bias and raising the deposition temperature, which could be attributed to the increase of film density and the Hall–Petch strengthening effect induced by the nanoscale crystallization of the amorphous carbide phase.
Predictions of Crowdfunding Campaign Success: The Influence of First Impressions on Accuracy and Positivity

Published: December 2020

Crowdfunding has quickly gained popularity in recent years, providing an additional way for entrepreneurial individuals and organizations (creators) to attract funds for their projects. Scholars have been interested in predicting the success of crowdfunding campaigns, by relating campaign characteristics to the actual success of these campaigns. We take one step back by studying the cognitive processes of the crowd. This paper uses an experimental approach to establish whether participants’ predictions on the success of crowdfunding campaigns based on first impressions are as positive and as accurate as those derived from more thorough analyses. We employ a two-study replication design, in which individuals estimate the success of crowdfunding campaigns in two conditions: with limited time and with unlimited time. The results show that prediction accuracy in both conditions is equal, yet shorter time availability results in assessments that are more negative. We discuss implications for creators and for funders.
Phytochemicals with Added Value from Morella and Myrica Species
Authors: Rosa Gonçalo P. , Silva Bruno J. C. , Seca Ana M. L. , Moujir Laila M. , Barreto Maria Carmo
Published: December 2020

Terrestrial plants, due to their sessile nature, are highly exposed to environmental pressure and therefore need to produce very effective molecules that enable them to survive all the threats. Myrica and Morella (Myricaceae) are taxonomically close genera, which include species of trees or shrubs with edible fruits that exhibit relevant uses in traditional medicine. For instance, in Chinese or Japanese folk medicine, they are used to treat diarrhea, digestive problems, headache, burns, and skin diseases. A wide array of compounds isolated from different parts of Myrica and/or Morella species possess several biological activities, like anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, and cardio-/neuro-/hepatoprotective activities, both in vitro and in vivo, with myricanol, myricitrin, quercitrin, and betulin being the most promising. There are still many other compounds isolated from both genera whose biological activities have not been evaluated, which represents an excellent opportunity to discover new applications for those compounds and valorize Morella/Myrica species.
Effervescence-Assisted Microextraction—One Decade of Developments
Authors: Lasarte-Aragonés Guillermo , Lucena Rafael , Cárdenas Soledad
Published: December 2020

Dispersive microextraction techniques are key in the analytical sample treatment context as they combine a favored thermodynamics and kinetics isolation of the target analytes from the sample matrix. The dispersion of the extractant in the form of tiny particles or drops, depending on the technique, into the sample enlarges the contact surface area between phases, thus enhancing the mass transference. This dispersion can be achieved by applying external energy sources, the use of chemicals, or the combination of both strategies. Effervescence-assisted microextraction emerged in 2011 as a new alternative in this context. The technique uses in situ-generated carbon dioxide as the disperser, and it has been successfully applied in the solid-phase and liquid-phase microextraction fields. This minireview explains the main fundamentals of the technique, its potential and the main developments reported.

Published: December 2020

A tradução audiovisual é um ramo relativamente novo, embora pouco explorado, dos Estudos da Tradução. Apesar de ser o principal meio de fruição de produtos cinematográficos e televisivos, a adaptação para dublagem ainda levanta suspeitas em acadêmicos e críticos, que sequer concordam com sua definição. Após apresentar os diferentes tipos de tradução audiovisual, este artigo enfoca as etapas do processo de dublagem: desafios linguísticos, soluções técnicas que muitas vezes passam despercebidas em uma análise, restrições, profissionais envolvidos e, igualmente, as normas que regem esse campo da tradução. A escolha para o estudo de caso recaiu em South Park, um exemplo excelente do desafio em vários níveis e que oferece a oportunidade de analisar os reais problemas que cada quadro ou fala apresenta, e para conferir as perdas e vitórias da tarefa.

Based on archival sources, the author analyzes the situation of the indigenous peoples of the Okhotsk-Kolyma territory during the Great Patriotic War. The government continued to implement paternalistic social policies: the development of housing and social infrastructure in the areas where indigenous peoples live, improvement of medical care and education, and vocational training. It is shown that most indigenous peoples, involved with collective farming worked disciplinedly and responsibly in areas related to traditional nature management (reindeer herding, fishing, fur hunting). With their labor and personal donations, the indigenous people made a feasible contribution to the victory. The indigenous peoples also fought on the front and served in the rear troops.

The paper presents the results of using the method of electrotomography to study the state of the base of the waterworks on the Matta River in the village of Berdigestyakh (Central Yakutia). According to geophysical work carried out in the dam downstream, it was found that the talik under the old river bed extends to the depth of more than 14 m, and along the rest of the dam, the talik is confined to the upper part of the section lying in the depth interval from 2.5 to 6.5 m. Drilling showed that the rocks in the talik are water-saturated. Temperature measurements indicate the thawed state of the dam base to the depth of more than 11 m. The specific resistance of thawed rocks varies from 20 to 70 Ohm·m for loams, from 70 to 320 Ohm·m for sand, and 300 to 1200 Ohm·m for frozen sandstones.

Autogenous bone grafting is needed in some bone tissue defects; however, it causes secondary surgical wounds and morbidity. Tissue bioengineering may be an alternative approach for bone regeneration. Here we investigated the osteogenic potential of dental pulp stem cells from deciduous teeth (DPSC) in association with a Ricinus bone compound (RBC) in a model of bone defect. The influence of the biomaterial RBC on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of DPSC was assessed in vitro by MTT metabolism and alizarin red staining, respectively. The morphologic analysis was performed using the optic and scanning electron (SEM) microscopies. For the in vivo study, 54 Wistar rats submitted to calvarial defects were filled with RBC or RBC+DPSC. A control group had the defects filled only with blood clots. Analyses were performed 15, 30 and 60 days after treatment using digital radiography, optical microscopy, SEM and chemical analysis by electron dispersive spectroscopy. The Ricinus bone compound (RBC) did not inhibit the osteogenic differentiation in vitro. No spontaneous regeneration was observed in the control group. The area of the calvarial defect of the RBC+DPSC group showed greater radiopacity on day 15. The RBC presented no reabsorption, was biocompatible and showed osteointegration, working as a mechanical filling. Only sparse ossification areas were found and those were larger and more developed on the RBC+DPSC group when compared to animals treated only with RBC. RBC in association with DPSC is a promising combination for applications in bone regeneration.

Una botnet es un grupo de computadoras controladas remotamente y deforma simultánea. Las botnets suelen ser ilegales dado que la incorporación de computadoras (bots) se realiza sin autorización mediante un ataque a esas computadoras. En esta tesis consideramos por primera vez a las botnets como sistemas de altas prestaciones (HPC por el término en inglés HighPerformance Computing). La computación de altas prestaciones tiene como objetivo el agregado de potencia computacional para obtener un mejor desempeño y resolver problemas que requieren gran potencia de cálculo. Para lograr este objetivo, HPC utiliza diversos métodos y tecnologías tanto a nivel de software, como de hardware e incluso de administración de recursos. Los sistemas HPC han sido estudiados profusamente y son en general bien entendidos. Por su parte, las botnets son también en general bien entendidas en el ámbito de la seguridad informática, donde mayormente se estudian sus ataques, sus amenazas y como detectarlas. El objetivo de esta tesis es estudiar las botnets como sistemas HPC. Para este propósito se extraen las características de altas prestaciones en una botnet en particular llamada Geost y se las compara con un sistema de altas prestaciones estándar conocido como es SETI@home. Esta comparación servirá para entender mejor la potencia de las botnets en relación a los sistemas legales y tradicionales de HPC. Con el objetivo de realizar esta comparación, se seleccionaron cinco características de la computación de altas prestaciones: resiliencia, paralelismo y concurrencia, computación heterogénea, ancho de banda y accesibilidad. Se extrajeron estas características de las dos aplicaciones, Geost y SETI@home, mediante el uso de una combinación de técnicas y herramientas de análisis de aplicaciones e inteligencia. Finalmente, los resultados de la comparación son analizados y estudiados para entender mejor el fenómeno. Esta tesis tiene dos grandes aportes. En primer lugar, proveer la primer comparación científica de características HPC en sistemas botnet y sistemas estándar. En segundo lugar, proveer una metodología de extracción y análisis de características de la computación de altas prestaciones en botnets.

Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) merupakan kerjasama regional yang memiliki ukuran pasar 48% dari populasi dunia dan menyumbang 32% dari ekspor barang dunia dan 28% dari Produk Domestik Bruto dimana Indonesia merupakan salah satu anggota di dalamnya. Pandemi COVID-19 membuat kerjasama tersebut terancam akibat terganggunya rantai pasokan global dan mulai munculnya pemikiran untuk memindahkan rantai pasokannya ke negara yang lebih dekat atau melakukan renasionalisasi. Hal ini mengancam posisi Indonesia yang yang ingin meningkatkan ekspornya secara regional meskipun kerjasama regional tersebut tidak dapat dimanfaatkan Indonesia secara maksimal untuk meningkatkan kinerja ekspornya secara keseluruhan ke negara anggota lainnya. Indonesia sendiri harus berjuang dalam menahan laju penularan COVID-19 di dalam negerinya guna menjaga posisinya dalam rantai pasokan regional dan global dan menjaga kepercayaan investor kepada Indonesia.

Published: December 2020

This journal discusses the drawing workshop using charcoal techniques and materials. Based on observations in the field, many children who still do not understand themselves related to the creativity that can be produced. Children are a very free phase, full of honesty, passionate and brave in doing actions that are able to express themselves. However, there are several factors that cause many expressions of children to not surface. Expressions related to emotions and feelings lead to one understanding, namely art. One type of art that is able to bring out the expression of children is drawing. Drawing has many techniques, one of which is by using charcoal as a way of expressing it. So drawing with charcoal is used as a workshop approach for children, as a means to understand themselves and bring out their creativity. Workshop activities initiated by the Cush Cush gallery and again Bali were held on July 13, 2019 at the Cush Cush gallery, aimed at educating children, providing awareness of art, to understanding life and making art as a provision for the future, in taking on the work world its orientation on creative people.

Published: December 2020

Inguinal hernia is a very common problem. Surgical repair is the current approach. Local anaesthesia is a suitable and economic option for open repairs, and should be popularized in day-care setting. Numerous repair methods have been described to date. Mesh repairs are superior to "non-mesh" tissue-suture repairs, but in some socio economically backward areas and in rural setups still non-mesh tissue repair is being performed. This study is done to compare and demonstrate the efficacy, acceptability, outcomes and recurrences of herniorrhaphy (Bassinis's repair) and hernioplasty (Lichtenstein's tension free repair). This retrospective comparative study of herniorrhaphy and hernioplasties was conducted in 62 patients who were admitted and treated in surgical setting from August 2014 to July 2015. Patients were evaluated thoroughly with physical examination, routine investigations, and ultrasonography. Patients were selected either for herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty depending on the age of presentation, tone of the abdominal muscles and size of the defect. All the operated patients were followed up for a period of one year. In the study paediatric hernias subjected to herniotomies were excluded. This study showed that majority of the patients who were subjected to herniorrhaphy were patients below the age of 50 years with good abdominal tone and majority of people above 60 years with weak abdominal tone i.e. those presenting with direct hernias, were subjected for hernioplasty and neither of the patient had any recurrence or other complications. Out of the 38 patients who underwent hernioplasty 3 patients had infection and mesh extrusion and 7 had inguinodynia. Out of the 24 patients who underwent herniorrhaphy 4 had scrotal swelling and about 9 of the patients had increased post-operative pain compared to patients who underwent hernioplasties. But no cases of wound infections were reported in Bassini’s repair. This study shows that, pre operatively if the patient is assessed properly and then subjected to herniorrhaphy or hernioplasties the rate of recurrence is minimal to nil and more economical. In our study there were no hernia recurrences noticed.

Authors: Kushwaha Renu , Kushwaha Santosh , Bhatnagar Rachna , Singh U.C , Singh Deepak , Singh Mukul
Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION
Anorectal malformation is the very common congenital malformation with the incidence of 1 in 5000 (1,2). The diagnosis is made on perineal examination which is further corroborated by cross table prone lateral x-ray or invertogram to find out the level of anorectal atresia. The cross table prone lateral x-ray is considered better investigation tool as compared to invertogram for demonstration of the level of rectal atresia in neonates. In prone cross table lateral x-ray, effect of gravity is negated, positioning of the baby is more comfortable and the rectal gas shadow is better delineated.
AIM
To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of cross table prone lateral x-ray in labelling a patient of anorectal malformation as high or low.

The study was conducted in retrospective manner. Radiological materials, clinical and operative records of the neonates with anorectal malformation operated in Department of Surgery, Pediatric Surgery unit, BRD Medical College over a period of 2 years (June 2017 to July 2019) were retrieved. Total 100 neonates with anorectal malformation were admitted in our hospital during this time frame. Out of these patients, colostomy was done in 79 patients, anoplasty was performed in 18 cases. Two patients underwent primary posterior sagittal anorectoplasty while 1 patient had ileostomy done. During this study, we came across four unusual cases of low anorectal malformation where the x-ray picture did not coincide with the clinical diagnosis.
CONCLUSION
Diagnosis of anorectal malformation is clinical but to diagnose the type of anorectal malformation it requires both clinical as well as radiological workup. In case of diagnostic dilemma, our clinical interpretation should lead the diagnosis as none of the x-ray modality has 100% sensitivity.
ANTERIOR HIP DISLOCATION-AN ORTHOPEDIC EMERGENCY: EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THESE RARE INJURIES
Authors: Prasad Ravindra , Malwa Rajesh , Manjhi L B
Published: December 2020

Anterior hip dislocation with or without associated femoral head fracture or acetabulum are extremely rare injuries. These injuries represent orthopedic emergency of even greater urgency than open fracture and prompt reduction is required to prevent the complications such as AVN and early arthritis. Pathoanatomy and management plan for anterior hip dislocation differ significantly from that of posterior dislocation. When associated with a fracture either of the femoral head or acetabulum, treatment and outcome is significantly changed. A systematic approach is needed to manage these injuries so as to get a congruent and stable hip along with minimizing any complications.
GENOMICS OF SARS-COV-2: A STUDY
Authors: Rajesh Rithwik
Published: December 2020

SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) is a type of novel coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 outbreak, which attained pandemic proportions in 2020. SARS-CoV-2 belongs to that group of coronaviruses which infect the lower respiratory tract. The complete genome was found to be 29.9kb in size. The viral genome encodes 16 non-structural proteins (Nsps), essential for pathogenesis and replication. Structural proteins- envelope (E), membrane (M), nucleocapsid (N), and spike (S) glycoprotein are also encoded, important for virus subtyping and response to vaccines. L and S type of SARS-CoV-2 were identified in Wuhan initially. Later on, as the pandemic spread across the globe, A and C subtypes were identified to me the common type of strains across the Americas and Europe respectively. In Asia, B subtype was found to be common. ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2), a receptor is utilised by SARS-CoV-2 for entry into host cell. People of European descent have a higher frequency of alternate allele of rs763395248 SNP in T92I risk variant compared to African and Asian population. In Asian populations, SNPs like rs758278442 and rs759134032 in the region of protective variants (K31R and Y83H) of ACE2 gene show higher frequency of mutant alleles than American and European populations. According to a structural modelling study, certain ACE2 variants may provide potential resistance to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY OF OVARIAN LUMPAND SERUM TUMOR MARKER CA 125 ESTIMATION AS A SCREENING TOOL
Authors: Jha Durga Nand , Chaudhary Ajit Kumar , Jana Debarshi
Published: December 2020

Background
Ovarian tumor is commonest cancer in female in India. About 80% is benign and 20% of these tumors are malignant. Due to its complex nature, vagueness and non-specificity of the symptoms it produces, the ovarian neoplasm can mislead both the doctor and patients. Hence this study was undertaken with aims & objectives to study the morphology of ovarian specimens as well as estimate serum CA125 as screening tool.
Material and Methods:
A study of over one year comprised of 75 specimens of ovary diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Laheriasarai, Bihar. After thorough gross examination and preparation of H&E stained slides the lesion of ovary were classified as per WHO classification. Also, preoperative blood samples were obtained from patients for estimation of serum CA125 level. Blood samples was also drawn from 20 healthy females in reproductive age group who acted as controls.
Results:
Of the 75 cases of ovarian mass, based on histology 75% were benign, and 25% were malignant. Surface epithelial tumors were the commonest (68%) of all ovarian tumor, followed by germ cell tumors (13%), sex cord–stromal tumors (6%). Serous Cystadenoma (29%) was the commonest benign tumor and serous cystadenocarcinoma (9%) commonest malignant neoplasm.
CA125 levels was raised in epithelial ovarian cancers. Maximum rise was seen in serous cystadenocarcinoma. Exceptionally a small percentage of epithelial cancer showed normal level (false negative). Also, few benign tumors, non-epithelial tumors and even non-neoplastic lesions showed false positive rise in CA125 (false positive).
Conclusion:
Accurate histopathological evaluation of ovarian specimen is necessary both in terms of therapeutic intervention as well as prognosis.
CA125 is an important screening tool for detection of epithelial ovarian cancers.
STUDY OF COMPARISON OF THE RECURRENCE PATTERNS IN CTEV PATIENTS WITH ADHERENCE TO BRACE PROTOCOLAND THOSE WITHOUT ADHERENCE TO BRACE PROTOCOL IN CHILDREN UP TO 5 YEARS.
Authors: Kumar Ravi , Singh Shailendra Kumar
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the comparative outcome of the recurrence pattern in congenital talipes equino varus (CTEV) patient’s upto 5 years old following Ponseti correction and brace application.
METHODS: A study of prospectively collected cohort data of 94 newly diagnosed idiopathic CTEV patients who were managed conservatively with Ponseti correction followed by tendoachilles (TA) tenotomy in 90 % of patients and brace application. Patients were evaluated with Pirani scoring prior to commencing Ponseti correction and during follow up and the parents were asked regarding the compliance and acceptance of the brace by the child and the difficulties faced while the child was on brace.
RESULT: Out of 94 patients in our study, recurrence of deformity was noticed in 13 patients, while 81 patients had totally normal functional foot.
CONCLUSION: We conclude that the Ponseti method enables us to correct most clubfeet with gentle manipulation, casting and foot abduction brace. Experience with the Ponseti method and great attention to the details of manipulation and moulding of the cast are necessary to achieve initial correction rate of over 98%.

Radiological anatomy is evaluated in three dimensions for preoperative and paroperative sur-gical planning, which helps the surgeon to identify his or her limits of dissection during sur-gery and avoid complications. Patients attending OPD at Institute of Otorhinolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, Kol-kata, India with features of sinonasal disease were advised CT scan depending upon the symptoms and course of the disease. 100 study subjects (200 sides) were selected during the study period between 01/01/2019 to 30/06/2020. Septa related directly related to ICA in 31%(n=31) cases of whom 12 patients (12%), 8 pa-tients (8%) and 11 patients (11%) had septa related to right ICA, left ICA and bilaterally ICA respectively. Septa attachment to optic nerve is seen in 27%(n=27) patients, of whom 10 patients (10%), 11 patients (11%) and 6 patients (6%) had attachment related to right optic nerve, left optic nerve and both optic nerves, respectively. On the right side ICA protrusion and pneumatization of ACP were both present in 8(8%) patients and on the left side in 7(7%) patients. Chi-Square test indicated a statistically significant association (P < 0.001). Pneumatized ACP and ON protrusion consistently en-countered on the right and left side in 7 patients (7%) and 8 patients (8%) respectively. Chi-Square test indicated a significant association between ACP pneumatization and ON protru-sion (P<0.001). This resolution helped in better demonstration of complicated sphenoid sinus anatomy well. Hence, we support 1 mm triplaner CT Scans for preoperative imaging assessment for all sinus surgeries.

Authors: Rombi Stefano
Published: December 2020

This article is based on the concept of strategic coordination as formulated by Gary Cox. The first part is a theoretical one: it deals with the theory behind the studies on electoral strategic coordination. The second part, more empirical, examines the voters’ coordination in form of strategic voting. The research encompasses three southern European countries – Spain, Greece and Portugal – in which operate a reinforced proportional electoral system. So, the question is: in what extent does this kind of electoral system stimulate strategic voting? To answer it, an analysis of electoral results at district level is provided. And, in particular, the article focuses on three indicators: the effective number of electoral parties; the percentage of waste votes; the percentage of votes cast for the two main parties. It concludes by discussing the results and by attempting to explain the differences between Spain and the other two countries.
