Authors: Pandey Gaurav , Gupta Sonisha , Singhal Parul , Rizvi Syed Haider Mehdi , Pandey Shubham , Mishra Shweta
Published: January 2024

A Mixed Germ Cell Tumor (MGCT) is a rare tumor with a low degree of differentiation. The most common sites are yolk sac and astrocytoma. Usually, it is gonadal, but in 5% of cases, it can present as extragonadal. The most common extragonadal site is the mediastinum, where the mediastinal mass sometimes mimics thymoma, lymphoma, pericardial cyst, and also occasionally causes pericardial tamponade. The presentations vary, ranging from accidental findings on routine radiography to life-threatening respiratory and cardiovascular compromission. We present an extragonadal MGCT case presenting as a mediastinal mass with symptoms of 1 year duration. The diagnosis was confirmed on Histopathological Examination (HPE) of surgically excised specimen. Given a possible life-threatening condition, a timely diagnosis is required.

The use of mitochondrial gene Cytochrome C Oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) has emerged as a promising technique in study of genetic variation and phylogenetic relationship of different group of fishes. This work reports the first example of the study of genetic status of two exotic Chinese carp, silver carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and bighead carp, Hypophthalmichthys nobilis in Bangladesh through the analyses of mtCOI gene. The highest nucleotide sequence divergence occurred between sequenced H. nobilis N3 and reference H. molitrix from India which was 1.208 and the lowest nucleotide divergence occurred in sequenced H. nobilis N1 and sequenced H. molitrix M3 with their reference counterparts from Bangladesh, India and China (0.002). The phylogenetic tree analysis showed that one of the H. nobilis (H. nobilis N3) formed a sister group with H. molitrix M2 with 100% sequence similarities. Otherwise, all sequenced and reference H. molitrix and H. nobilis showed separate clade in the tree. Therefore, we can conclude that the exotic H. molitrix and H. nobilis maintain distinct population status with lower genetic variation. However, we should take essential measures to reduce inbreeding in future.

Background: Breast cancer related Lymphedema (BCRL) in the respective arm is a common but serious negative sequel of breast cancer management. Risk factors include dissection of Axillary lymph nodes and irradiation of Regional lymph nodes. Nearly 20% of patients receiving treatment of breast cancer develop this complication and it has a negative impact on quality of life of the patient. Objective: Current study aims to equip the medical professionals with all the details needed for prevention, early detection, intervention and management of this hazardous late treatment related complication. Material and Methods: Total 350 breast cancer patients (with their consent) treated at Government Cancer Hospital, Indore in the Radiotherapy and Oncology Department, in period from January 2019till December 2021, with chest wall radiotherapy following subsequent hormonal therapy, as needed. Patients then analysed for occurrence of lymphedema. Subsequently, efforts were given for finding out the correlation between lymphedema and related treatment modality like adjuvant radiotherapy following definitive surgery with number of excised lymph nodes and number of involved lymph nodes, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, subjective co-morbid condition (obesity, diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure). Results: Current study demonstrate a significant correlation of adjuvant radiotherapy, including progressive involvement of the lymph node stations, with radical or conservative breast surgery with lymph node dissection represents a statistically significant risk factor, with relative risk, RR=1.49 (95% CI=0.72–3.05), p<0.001. Subsequent increase in number of dissected lymph nodes shown a risk factor with statistical significance as relative risk for more than 25 removed lymph nodes, demonstrated significant risk of lymphedema than for 16-25 removed lymph nodes. Other analysed risk factors, which did not influence lymphedema development like, associated chemotherapy, hormonal therapy or presence of co-morbid illnesses. Conclusions: Arm lymphedema is a late sequel associated with carcinoma breast treatment using radiation or surgery, and quite capricious occurrence that can happen years after axillary clearance surgery. With the use of sentinel node sampling, could reduce the need of frank axillary clearance by showing either involvement of lymph node in axilla, so as to manage only by radiotherapy. That significantly reduces the risk of lymphedema from 16% with axillary clearance to 5% without dissection. Keywords: Lymphedema, Breast cancer, Risk factors, Axillary lymph node

Published: January 2024

Chorea hyperglycaemia basal ganglia (CHBG) syndrome is a rare neurological manifestation that occurs in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, rarely can be manifested in type 1 diabetes as well. Also called as diabetic striatopathy (DS), it occurs in the background of non ketotic hyperglycaemia. DS predominantly leads to a unilateral reversible injury of the basal ganglia visualised as hyperintensities on MRI brain, resulting in various movement disorders such as hemichorea and hemiballismus. Being a rare yet reversible entity, its recognition and early treatment by the clinicians is important. Here, we report a case of 79 yr. old gentleman with CHBG syndrome, whose symptoms resolved with adequate glycaemic control. Keywords: Diabetes, Chorea, Hemiballismus

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Cancer of cervix uteri is the second most common cancer amongst women in India. It consists of a long preinvasive stage making it a potentially preventable disease. Our intent is to set stage for early cancer detection by screening our hospital housing keeping females. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted from May to October 2022 in the departments of pathology and OBG at a rurally located tertiary care hospital affiliated to a teaching Medical Institute. Primary objective was to screen for cervical cancer in female housekeeping staff by determining the cervical cytology findings in Pap smears as per the 2014 Bethesda Classification of cervical cytology (2014). Secondary objective was to assess awareness about Pap smear testing. Results: Out of the eighty female housekeeping staff forty four were included in the study.A questionnaire was given to assess awareness followed by Pap smear test. Inflammatory smears (47.7% ) were most common followed by Bacterial vaginosis (15.9%).and Trichomonas Vaginalis infestation (9.1%).One case of ASCU-S was detected which was followed up with a cervical biopsy to rule out malignancy. Though 65.5% had heard about cervical cancer, 84.1% were not acquainted with pap smears. Conclusion: Screening by Pap smear helped in detecting potentially pre- cancerous lesions and infections enabling timely treatment. Lack of awareness has limited the utilization of Pap smear especially in the rural areas even in women working inside healthcare premises reflects the need for creating awareness and encouraging robust participation in screening programmes.

Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is a rare variant of epidermal nevus characterized by psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia, pruritic, warty lesions, in a linear configuration, following the lines of Blaschko. We report a rarer incidence of ILVEN in a young adult female presented with pruritic linear focally warty lesion over dorsum of right foot since birth. Histopathological examination of excision biopsy was suggestive of ILVEN. Although generally considered benign, 15-20% ILVEN cases can show malignant transformation. Despite variable treatment options, treatment is custom-made depending upon the nature and extent of the lesion. Therefore, the correct diagnosis of ILVEN is vital for choosing early and prompt treatment planning. Keywords: Adult, ILVEN, Female, Epidermal, Nevus

Published: January 2024

Este artículo aborda el análisis de los Castigos y dotrinas que un sabio dava a sus hijas, un breve tratado presumiblemente anónimo y fechado en torno a los últimos años del siglo XV. En cuanto al tema, puede quedar inserto en el corpus de publicaciones que atienden a la naturaleza femenina y, en especial, a su formación, dirigida esencialmente a su labor como perfectas esposas. Los Castigos y dotrinas que un sabio dava a sus hijas trasciende eldebate filógino-misógino en favor de una nueva organización, la didácticodoctrinal, que experimentará su apogeo en el siglo siguiente con textos tan insignes como los que legaron Luis Vives, Erasmo de Róterdam o Luis de León.En este sentido, nuestro artículo abunda en el componente práctico que se deriva de las enseñanzas ofrecidas a lo largo del texto, así como en las estrategias didácticas que el emisor (un padre) sigue para trasladar la doctrina de manera eficiente a sus destinatarias (sus hijas).

Authors: Giménez José Carlos , De Sousa Nascimento Renata Cristina
Published: January 2024

A posse de relíquias pode projetar simbolicamente um território como sagrado, protegido por Deus e por seus santos, através de algo táctil, visível, concreto, uma espiritualidade que passa pela materialidade e manifestação divina protetora de uma região e de um povo especial, considerado separado e escolhido. Diante da possibilidade de rememoração da Terra Santa (e de transposição de suas relíquias), o ocidente cristão medieval recriou e readaptou em seu território localidades que seriam reconhecidas como espaços sublimes, depositando aí vestígios especiais, que poderiam garantir a excepcionalidade dos lugares. Fenômeno de longa duração o traslado de corpos e objetos perpassa a história da religião cristã, desde seus primórdios. A promoção de cidades e santuários, garantida pela presença do divino táctil, produziu e solidificou o culto às relíquias. Os traslados dos restos sagrados se constituem em momentos importantes no fortalecimento deste culto, peregrinações, performances, rituais e símbolos corroboram para a emotividade deste movimento. Neste artigo temos a intenção de discutir o traslado das santas relíquias como um fenômeno de longa duração, tendo por estudo de caso o solenne recebimeto das Santas Reliquias, que forão leuadas da See de Coimbra, ao Real Mosteyro de Santa Cruz e a trajetória de Santa Dulce dos Pobres, a primeira mulher nascida no Brasil canonizada pela Igreja Católica, cujos restos corporais foram depositados na Capela das Relíquias, construída para este fim. Este conjunto de lembranças comuns é fator identitário, produto de uma tradição forjada, construída e gradativamente estabelecida.

In this study, the stable isotop 18O and 2H has been used to investigate the interaction of surface water (SW), and groundwater (GW) in Al-Taji district/ Northern Baghdad for two seasons (March and August 2022). 16 Samples were collected from water resources in the Al-Taji district (Tigris channel, Tigris River, and groundwater), in each season water samples from 8 Tigris channel, 5 drilled wells, and 3 Tigris River were taken for the analysis of the isotopes 18O and 2H. The average analysis results of 18O and 2H in the Tigris channel, Tigris River, and groundwater were found to be -3.435‰ and -18.6094‰, -2.07167‰ and -17.81‰, -4.125‰ and -34.707‰ respectively. The results, generally, show a comparable range of isotope content on the Tigris Channel and groundwater (W1 about 1 km from the Tigris Channel). This indicates a mixing/interconnection between groundwater and the Tigris River, and it could be concluded that the wells (W1 and Ch1 and Ch2) near the Tigris channel have been recharged or mixed from them.

Well-being achievement and the ability to have self-actualization are everyone’s desire. However, the daily routine causes fluctuation of minds and feelings that affect mental state. College students are one of vulnerable groups who are prone to get stress or mental health problems. Suicides committed by college students prove a condition of low psychological well-being. This research aims to find the model of college students’ psychological well-being which is predicted by religiosity and social support with coping strategy as the mediator. Researchers used convenience sampling technique to get 145 respondents consisting of 33 males (23%) and 112 females (77%). SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) is used to analyze finding data. The results showed that coping strategy can mediate the correlation between religiosity with psychological well-being. Coping strategy cannot be proved as a mediator in the correlation between social support and psychological well-being. Social support has a positive significant correlation with psychological well-being without a coping strategy as a mediator.AbstrakMencapai sejahtera dan mampu beraktualisasi diri merupakan keinginan setiap individu.

Breastfeeding is an important part of a child’s growth and development, especially during its golden age of the first 1,000 days. Physiologically, colostrum, which is formed in breast milk, is able to build infants’ immunity. Breastfeeding has been protected by Law No 36 of 2009, which instructs that every mother has to fulfill the right of their baby to get exclusive breastfeeding for six months. However, the target set by the government, which is 80 percent, has not been met. This study examines the relationship between a mother’s working hours and breastfeeding behavior using a national scale sample, the National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) of 2017. This study uses a quantitative approach with a unit of analysis of infants aged 6–23 months, as many as 26,066 from working and non-working mothers and will be analyzed using multinomial logistic regression. The results show that mothers with longer working hours had a lower probability of exclusive breastfeeding or any breastfeeding. Therefore, Commission IX needs to discuss the Draft Law on Mother and Child Welfare which regulates support for working mothers who breastfeed.AbstrakPemberian air susu ibu (ASI) menjadi bagian penting dalam momentum tumbuh kembang anak terutama dalam periode emas yaitu 1.000 hari pertama kehidupan anak karena secara fisiologis, kolostrum yang terbentuk pada ASI mampu membangun imunitas pada bayi. Praktik pemberian ASI telah dilindungi oleh UndangUndang No. 36 Tahun 2009 yang mengamanatkan agar setiap ibu memenuhi hak bayi untuk mendapatkan ASI eksklusif selama enam bulan. Akan tetapi, target sebesar 80 persen yang ditetapkan pemerintah belum dapat terpenuhi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji bagaimana hubungan jumlah jam kerja ibu pada perilaku pemberian ASI dengan menggunakan sampel skala nasional yaitu Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional (Susenas) Tahun 2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan unit analisis bayi berumur 6–23 bulan sebanyak 26.066 baik dari ibu yang bekerja maupun tidak bekerja dan akan diuji menggunakan regresi logistik multinomial. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah terbukti bahwa ibu yang memiliki jumlah jam kerja lebih tinggi memiliki peluang lebih kecil untuk menyusui eksklusif maupun menyusui namun tidak eksklusif dibandingkan tidak menyusui sama sekali. Oleh karena itu, Komisi IX perlu segera melakukan pembahasan Rancangan Undang-Undang tentang Kesejahteraan Ibu dan Anak yang di dalamnya mengatur dukungan untuk ibu pekerja yang menyusui.
