The Use of Data-Driven Dialogue to teach English
Authors: Farhan Oniel Muhammad
Published: April 2021

The term data-driven data-driven dialogue (DDD) has emerged recently as a valuable tool for organizing classroom discussion of any predicted lessons and monitoring students' learning process in the classroo  O’Brian, Nocon, and Sands (2010). The background of this study is most of the teachers in Indonesia tend to skip the dialogue process when they teach grammar to their students. These conditions impact the use of inappropriate grammar and decreased student interest in learning grammar, especially in English. Thus, this study aims to describe how data-driven dialogue methods can be applied in English classes for Senior High School students. The research was conducted in one of the Senior High Schools in Yogyakarta. The data collected through the DDD method using the four steps include (1) Predict, (2) Explore, (3) Explain, and (4) Take Action.
The Effect of Synthetic Estrogens on Fathead Minnow Populations
Authors: Brent Shannon , Abaza Reem , Aoude Walid , Arcieri Rebecca , Bruce Olivia
Published: April 2021

The fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) is a freshwater fish with a wide distribution in lakes, streams, and ponds across North America, including Ontario. This species has been recognized as one of the most useful model organisms for freshwater toxicology monitoring, due to its tolerance of its range for aquatic conditions. Synthetic estrogens are excreted as a metabolic product in the urinary waste of women using oral contraceptives. Estrogens are not effectively filtered out by sewage treatment plants and are subsequently released into water effluents, affecting aquatic wildlife. In response to experimentally heightened estrogen concentrations, male and female fathead minnows have shown increases in vitellogenin protein, and females have displayed delayed ovarian development and increased numbers of underdeveloped ovarian follicles. Males also experienced lowered gonadosmatic indices, and some males had primary stage oocytes in their testes. As would be expected, synthetic estrogen additions influenced fathead minnow reproductive success, leading to a collapse of the experimental fish population. By taking a multi-disciplinary approach, this study looks to identify how synthetic estrogens are threatening local fish populations, and how this may eventually disrupt the freshwater food chain. Collaboration with The Canadian Association on Water Quality (Kingston), Ravensview Wastewater Treatment Plant, and the Catarqui Region Conservation Authority will provide a greater understanding of the hormonal content in Kingston’s wastewaters. Ultimately, this study will provide more insight on the level of risk faced by freshwater fish populations on a local scale, and propose a method to reduce estrogen deposition in freshwater environments.
QGEM 2012: Building a Chimeric Flagellar Scaffold for Enhanced Bioremediation and Biosynthesis
Authors: Wang Beini , Chen Kevin
Published: April 2021

Synthetic biology is a rapidly expanding field that involves designing biological systems and operating them in living cells. The Queen’s Genetically Engineered Machine (QGEM) team competes annually at the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, which challenges students around the globe to use synthetic biology to solve real-world problems. Last year, the QGEM team sought to improve the efficiency of bioremediation and biosynthesis by modifying the flagella of E. coli. Flagella are whip-like appendages that many organisms and cells use for locomotion. One flagellum is composed of 20 000 self-assembling protein subunits called flagellin, which can be divided into two parts. One part is necessary to form the flagellum polymer, and the second part is an auxiliary domain with no particular function. This domain can be replaced with functional proteins, such as metal-binding proteins for bioremediation or useful enzymes for biosynthesis. With the incorporation of proteins for binding, adhesion, degradation, and synthesis, normal flagella can be transformed into functional appendages that can be useful in many applications. As an additional component of their project, the QGEM team developed dance as a new means of teaching and explaining science, and incorporated it into their presentation at the iGEM competition.
Eliciting Music-Evoked Autobiographical Memories (MEAMs) in Individuals with Mild Alzheimer’s Disease: A Case Series
Authors: Choi Deanna
Published: April 2021

Numerous studies have examined the possibility that listening to music facilitates learning and memory, and various music therapy interventions have yielded promising results for individuals with pathological amnesic disorders. However, the mechanisms by which such phenomena operate are largely unknown. Here I will pursue the hypothesis that music processing pathways are linked to autobiographical memory networks, allowing the spontaneous activation of memories for personal events (music-evoked autobiographical memories, or MEAMs). These reminiscences are often of a pleasant or nostalgic nature, inducing a positive affective state. These emotions, in turn, elicit a sense of identity and self-awareness that contributes to psychological well-being. I will present data from a series of participants diagnosed with mild Alzheimer’s disease, all of whom have varying degrees of short-term memory deficits and cognitive impairments. After listening to a 30-second musical excerpt (in a total sequence of 24), they were asked to describe any memories that may have been conjured by the music, as well as their overall attitude, familiarity, and emotional reaction towards the piece. The experimental stimuli included 12 pieces from a well-known repertory of instrumental classical music, which were matched to 12 similar excerpts controlled for instrumentation, tempo, mode, and stylistic patterns. I video-recorded the interviews, analyzing both verbal and behavioural responses to the musical excerpts played. Data will be compared with that obtained from healthy controls. I will then discuss the implications of the current pilot project towards future studies and potential applications in clinical settings.
Innate Musicality and Brain Plasticity
Authors: Lumsden Shera
Published: April 2021

The field of neuroscience has undergone a recent advancement upon the realization that music has a profound effect on brain plasticity. The hypothesis that a person is born with a brain that is “hard-wired” for use has been replaced with the understanding that while the brain has innate tendencies, it is modifiable and adapts in response to experience (Habib & Besson, 2008). Brain plasticity is necessary for cognitive development to continue (The Neuroscience Institute, 2012). Most infants are born with the basic neural networks needed to begin to adapt to their world, including their musical world, and as they grow and learn, neural networks are formed and developed in response to their experiences. The brain, however, does not always develop as expected, and one significant sign is a delay in gross motor coordination. This paper will present research discussing brain areas and structures associated with coordination and those involved in the processing of music, hypothesizing there might be a relationship between the two. This will have implications for further study regarding the effects of music on the brain and the possibility that music can be used to facilitate brain plasticity and assist in the development of coordination skills in those with developmental delays.
Healthy Immigrant Effect and Immigrant Women’s Health Issues in Canada: A Scoping Review of Health Measures
Authors: Jung Hyosun
Published: April 2021

The healthy immigrant effect describes a phenomenon in which immigrants lose health advantage overtime as they reside longer in their migrated country. A scoping review was conducted to observe whether this phenomenon is also observable in the Canadian immigrant demographic specific to women’s health issues. A search strategy was used to collect relevant quantitative studies from MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Healthstar, and CINAHL databases. The studies examined the relationship between duration of residence in Canada and cervical screening rates, intimate partner violence, help seeking rates for intimate partner violence, and a range of obstetrical outcomes including antenatal and postpartum depression, maternal placental syndrome, illness and hospitalization during pregnancy, and preterm birth. The studies reported gradual approximation of immigrant health status and behaviours to long-term resident or Canadian-born patterns. However, the direction of the effect varied for each health measure. Immigrants were less likely to experience intimate partner violence, maternal placental syndrome, illness or hospitalization during pregnancy, and preterm birth, but were more likely to suffer from antenatal and postpartum depression and less cervical screening. Ethnic background and country of origin seem to modulate these effects. Clinical implications of the study encourage the health care system to consider the unique needs and risk factors of the recent immigrant population including economic, language, and social challenges, while discouraging acculturation of immigrants to harmful lifestyles and behaviours. The researchers recommend future studies to account for specific dynamics within ethnic and language groups and to utilize more longitudinal designs.
"Our God, Our Country, and Our Queen" - Orangeism, the Prince of Wales, and the Canadian Popular Political Tradition
Authors: Panneton Daniel
Published: April 2021

Despite the Royal Visit to Kingston in 1860 being billed as a celebratory event, it would not be remembered as such. The Orange Order, one of the largest fraternal organizations in the Canadas at the time, attended the Royal Arrival, despite receiving explicit instructions not to do so. Loudly protesting what they perceived to be an attempt to convince the Crown that the Canadas were Catholic in nature, the Orangemen pushed a two day standoff with the Royal Party. The Royal representative, the Prince of Wales, never left his boat, and Kingston never saw its Prince.  In spite of this, the Orange Order proclaimed a victory. They, like their brothers at the Siege of Derry, had stood firm in the fact of Papism. What may seem today like an overreaction on the part of the Orangemen was actually an illustration of the organized violence that characterized mid-nineteenth century Canadian popular politics. The Orange Order represented the interests of Conservative, Tory Protestants, and their actions that day illustrate the fact that said group had reason to be frustrated at the time. The Orange Order, instead of being a violent and unwanted anomaly, represent but an important aspect of the Canadian popular political tradition.
Other People's Problems: Missing Women, Murderers, and the Media
Authors: Cameron Anna
Published: April 2021

There are over 600 missing and murdered aboriginal women across Canada. A long history of systemic racism has made these women extremely vulnerable to violent crimes. Most of their fates remain a mystery, but some murderers have been caught who are responsible for their deaths. I examined the news articles that cover the crimes of convicted murderers Robert Pickton and John Martin Crawford. Of the two, only Pickton is very well known. However, while the media covered his crimes extensively, much of the coverage is misleading. The aboriginality of the victims is downplayed, and other tactics are used to blame the victims and focus on the killer. The coverage surrounding John Martin Crawford uses similar misleading strategies, although there is significantly less of it. I argue that because the aboriginality of the victims was emphasized instead of downplayed in the coverage of Crawford’s murders, there was less interest in the cases. Most people will read about crimes when they can identify with the victims. While most of Pickton’s victims were aboriginal, the number of victims was so enormous and the details of the case were so grisly, that the aboriginality was downplayed to attract the attention that these other aspects gave the case. Crawford’s victims were all aboriginal women, but he killed fewer and was not seen as a threat. The media influences how people think about society. If the media continues to treat these types of crimes in this way, the ideas that fuel these crimes will also continue.
e Harmful Effects of the Cygnus olor Population on the Biodiversity of the Presqu’ile Provincial Park Wetland Ecosystem
Authors: Surkan Nathan , Scott Caroline , Sjonnesen Kirsten , Toffelmire Benjamin
Published: April 2021

Presqu’ile Provincial Park in Southeastern Ontario is a major attraction for campers and outdoor enthusiasts year-round. At the forefront of the Park’s popularity is its rich biodiversity, supported by a variety of unique ecosystems. A particular ecosystem of interest, the park’s wetland, is one of the largest along Lake Ontario. However, working with a Biodiversity Specialist from Ontario Parks, we have identified a major issue that has threatened to upset the delicate balance of this ecosystem. Recently, large colonies of Cygnus olor, more commonly known as the mute swan, have begun to nest in the wetland area. This species is extremely territorial and the swans exhibit aggressive behavior towards other species inhabiting the same niche. The main consequence from this territorial behavior is that previously common waterfowl species no longer nest in the wetland. Unfortunately, once C. olor nest in a particular area, dislodging the swan population is very challenging. Using available data from peer-reviewed journals, popular media, Ontario Parks and the Ministry of Natural Resources, our group hopes to analyze the current situation, to identify possible root causes, and to develop viable methods of C. olor population control, in order to restore the wetland’s natural biodiversity. Our seminar will provide a detailed discussion of results from our analysis as well as evaluate potential solutions towards controlling the increasing populations of C. olor. We endeavour to provide future measures that may be implemented to preserve Presqu’ile Provincial Park’s biodiversity and that have potential applications on a global scale.
Do Closely Related Species Influence Each Other's Sexual Size Dimorphism?
Authors: Boynton Chloe
Published: April 2021

Size differences between males and females (sexual size dimorphism) are often seen in a variety of species. In birds of prey in particular, a phenomenon occurs where the female is larger than the male. One of the main hypotheses attempting to explain sexual size dimorphism in birds of prey is that the female and male differ in size to partition resources, like prey. There is also evidence that predator and prey body size are correlated, so predators of similar size may be in direct competition. It has been shown that when two closely related species interact in the same area, they are likely to be in competition for similar resources, like prey. This study is looking at sexual size dimorphism and closely related species interactions, which has never been looked at before in birds of prey. I am using the subfamily Buteoninae (Buteo Hawks) as my focal group. I will be using sexual size dimorphism ratios, estimates of genetic distance between closely related species and proportion of range overlap between different closely related lineages within the subfamily. I am expecting to see that if species are closely related and inhabit the same area they will have a decreased sexual size dimorphism. This is because both species are likely to be competing for the same resources, and to avoid competition the species will diverge in body size from one another. This will cause the male and female of each species to converge in size, reducing their sexual size dimorphism.

Duplication of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare congenital malformation that can occur throughout the length of the digestive tract. The duplication of the colon on a long section connected with the light of the digestive tract is a relatively rare form of gastrointestinal tract duplication. This defect is a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problem due to non-characteristic symptoms. Imaging diagnostics allows to correctly recognize gastrointestinal duplication in only 25% of cases. The authors present the case of a girl who was hospitalized many times at the Department of Pediatric Surgery due to recurrent abdominal pain of various types character. Variable clinical symptoms and diagnostic difficulties have caused delay in making a diagnosis of tubular double colon. The final diagnosis was made only after two computed tomography, which was performed due to the rapidly deteriorating and unclear patients condition. The postoperative period after resection of the double intestine proceeded with a wide spectrum of complications that required long-term hospitalization. Duplication of the colon is a difficult diagnostic problem. Non-characteristic symptoms and unclear imaging results delay the diagnosis and expose the patient to complications.

Colorectal cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in Poland as well as in the world. In addition, this cancer is the second cause of death among oncological diseases. Genetic and environmental factors with a documented impact on the development and progression of colorectal cancer have been thoroughly investigated. Every case of colorectal cancer begins with the stage of a nonmalignant polyp, whose progression to invasive malignant tumor lasts about 10 years. This period is long enough to implement appropriate preventive action that allow early detection and treatment of pre-cancerous lesions. Colorectal cancer screening is the process of detecting polypoid lesions in asymptomatic patients with no history of cancers. Colonoscopy has the benefit of diagnostic and therapeutic tools, which allows to detect and remove of premalignant polyps in a single step approach. The aim of this work is to present the role of a screening program in the prevention of colorectal cancer.

Published: April 2021

Introduction. Benign proctological diseases, such as haemorrhoidal disease, anal fissure, fistula in ano and anal abscess, affect a large part of socjety. These diseases are stressogenic due to severe pain and anxiety associated with both treatment and potential complications, such as incontinence or the need for a stoma. The intimate nature of these conditions and their adverse effects on social functioning are also important. The intimate nature of these conditions and their adverse effects on social functioning are also important. Aim. The aim of the study was to determine the temperamental and personality traits of individuals with mild proctological diseases. Material and methods. A group of 101 patients (56 men and 45 women) aged between 19 and 56 years (M = 36.57; SD = 9.77) and a reference group of healthy individuals (56 men and 45 women) aged between 19 and 58 years (M = 39.54; SD = 9.40) were included. The patients were asked to complete questionnaires measuring temperament traits (RMQ), the incidence of depressive symptoms (DSQ), type D personality traits (DS14), and a questionnaire to evaluate stress coping strategies (Mini-COPE). Results. The study showed that male patients were characterised by higher perseveration and regularity. Female patients did not differ in terms of temperamental traits from healthy women. Proctological patients scored higher for social inhibition compared to healthy individuals. A relationship was shown between type D personality and depressive symptoms. Conclusions. Temperament and personality traits of patients with benign proctological diseases may be a prognostic factor for depressive symptoms. High perseveration, reactivity and social inhibition adversely affect the well-being of patients.
Advances in proctology
Authors: Kołodziejczak Małgorzata , Ciesielski Przemysław
Published: April 2021

In recent years there has been progress in proctological diagnostics and minimally invasive procedures. We present the latest diagnostic options in proctology, including dynamic 3D anorectal ultrasonography technique, the so-called echodefecography, as well as volume render mode, a technique based on computer processing of ultrasound images. The current state of knowledge on the treatment of the most common proctological diseases: haemorrhoidal disease, anal fistula, anal fissure, stool incontinence, rectal prolapse and pilonidal sinus, was also presented. According to the available analyses, patients are most interested in maintaining full postoperative gas and stool continence, while the effectiveness of the surgery comes second. Modern surgery meets these expectations by developing preoperative diagnosis and minimally invasive techniques which do not cause sphincter damage. Indications for the use of these methods, their limitations, and possible postoperative complications were discussed. There is still some room for classical surgical techniques, which have been enriched with methods supporting the healing of difficult healing wounds and inflammation of the anorectal region: negative pressure wound therapy systems and hyperbaric chambers.
Rectal prolapse surgeries using perineal, trans-anal and extra-anal approach
Authors: Kołodziejczak Małgorzata , Ciesielski Przemysław
Published: April 2021

Rectal prolapse is a rare condition. Epidemiological data estimate that 4/1,000 adults are affected. Although rectal prolapse in most often seen in older women, it may develop in both men and women at any age. In the last century, perineal access was the primary surgical approach in patients with rectal prolapse. Currently, a number of transabdominal (laparotomy, laparoscopy) and transperineal techniques are used. Proper preoperative qualification is of key importance for therapeutic success in a patient with rectal prolapse. Indications for perineal rectal prolapse surgery include advanced age, general comorbidities, short-segment prolapse, incarceration and necrotic rectal prolapse. Advantages of the perineal approach include prolapse repair by resection, simultaneous repair of pelvic prolapse, and, in the case of overlapping anal sphincter insufficiency (which is common), the possibility of simultaneous anterior and posterior levator ani repair. Perineal rectosigmoidectomy (Altemeier’s procedure) and Delorme’s procedure are the most common perineal surgical procedures performed in patients with full-thickness rectal prolapse. Anal encirclement (Thiersch wire) is a historical method, which is used in rare cases of patients not eligible for other procedures. STARR (stapler transanal rectal resection), wedge resection of the rectal mucosa, mucosal plication (Gant-Miwa procedure) may be used in patients with partial-thickness rectal prolapse. The paper presents the above mentioned surgical methods, along with their indications, uses, advantages, disadvantages, and possible complications.
Colon perforation during colonoscopy – the role of an anaesthesiologist in patient management. A case report
Authors: Wadełek Jacek
Published: April 2021

Colon perforation is a serious complication of colonoscopy. Clinical signs and symptoms depend on the specific characteristics of the perforation (e.g., size, location, and aetiology) and patient’s general status. The paper presents a case of an 81-year-old man who underwent diagnostic colonoscopy with perforation of the sigmoid diverticulum. The endoscopist was unsuccessful in ceiling the sigmoid perforation by clipping. Therefore, emergency laparotomy was performed, during which the perforation was repaired. Postoperatively, the patient was cared for in an intensive care unit. He was discharged from the intensive care unit to general surgery on day 3 postoperatively in a good general condition. Colon perforation at colonoscopy is one of the most serious complications, with early diagnosis and surgical repair being the key to successful outcome. Proper anaesthetic management is centred around correction of metabolic, cardiovascular and respiratory derangements, which is also crucial for patient outcomes.
Fast-track cancer pathway (DiLO Card) in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer: ”Early detection saves lives”

Published: April 2021

Gastrointestinal malignancies, colorectal cancer in particular, come second in terms of incidence and mortality among all male and female neoplasms. Early detection guarantees good treatment outcomes. Endoscopy (colonoscopy) with biopsy and imaging (abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography), as well as biochemical markers should be included in the diagnostic process. Depending on the stage of colorectal cancer, combined treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, is used. Therefore, not only coordinated multidisciplinary treatment, but also prompt diagnosis is important. For this reason, a fast track to diagnose and treat cancer patients, known as the DILO card, was introduced in 2015. Both, medical case conferences, whose aim is to determine further diagnostic and, in particular, therapeutic steps, and coordinators, whose role in this case cannot be overestimated, play an important role in DILO implementation. The DILO card serves as a referral to outpatient cancer clinics and departments, as well as diagnostic laboratories. Properly functioning multidisciplinary medical case conferences and combined treatment approach are the basis for establishing Centres of Competence for the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer.

This article examines the energy capacity of the municipal solid waste landfill in the town of Partizansk, Primorsky Krai. The landfill was launched in 1975. The landfill has a monsoon-type climate with warm, humid summers and cold winters with little amount of snow. The services are provided to 45,646 people. The morphological composition of municipal solid waste (MSW) stored on the landfill consist of recyclable paper, glass, polymers, textiles, ferrous and nonferrous metal, food waste, etc. The authors provide a brief characteristics to the landfill; examine biogas yield, component composition of landfill gas, and average composition of biogas; determine specific density of biogas per year. The article calculates the maximum single and gross emissions of pollutants, average specific values of harmful emissions, annual and maximum single amount of landfill gas. Assessment is given to the theoretical energy value of municipal solid waste landfill. The energy capacity of municipal solid waste landfill and its economic efficiency are indicated. In the course of technical calculations, the number of nonrenewable energy resources (coal, oil, natural gas), which can be saved if replace energy carriers with landfill gas is determined. The analysis of using MSW as the renewable secondary energy resources demonstrates the growing role of this source in energy saving and capacity for reducing environmental pollution due to collection and disposal of biogas.
“Marina” by Boris Tishchenko in the context of the revival of Russian symphonic style of the late XX century
Authors: Serov Iurii Eduardovich
Published: April 2021

The subject of this research is Marina Symphony No.2 by the prominent Russian composer of the late XX century Boris Ivanovich Tishchenko. It was completed in 1964, and for a long time remained unreleased. Special attention is given to the symphonic dramaturgy of the piece, interrelation between the music and the poetic text, as well as modernization of the language of composing. Specific trait of Tishchenko's symphonic style — the aspiration and ability to expose the surrounding conflicts and contradictions – is amplified in the symphony. Tishchenko masterfully reconstructs any desirable emotional and psychological atmosphere, which manifests in the variety of techniques and technical solutions. Symphony No.2 by Boris Tishchenko is a remarkable phenomenon in the national music, as well as an important step towards formation of the composer's unique symphonic style. In “Marina”, Tishchenko addresses the pivotal question of not only his creative path, but perhaps of the entire musical art of the XX century: the level of adherence of the author's imagination to the musical form. His imagination is irrepressible; the language is highly modern; the form is classically clear and closely related to the good Russian and Soviet symphonic style. The novelty of this research consists in consideration of the remarkable symphonic piece of Boris Tishchenko from the present-day perspective and in the context of revival of the entire national symphonic style of the 1960s.
Problems of incorporation of the principles of international law into the system of normative legal support of social welfare of the Russian Federation and their impact upon training of personnel for social services

Published: April 2021

The subject of this article is the theoretical and practical aspects of application of the experience of other countries of the modern world (from the perspective of the concept) in the process of raising the effectiveness of social welfare system of the Russian Federation as a whole, and the system of training social workers in particular. Since the late XX century, key difference of the current stage of global development, and namely of international law is the gradual shift of legal norms and political practice away from the traditional concepts of economic, social and humanistic policy, which for a long time formed the fundamental discourses of the domestic and international social life. The author states the fact on the need accelerate inclusion of the Russian Federation into the global social cont1ext on both, theoretical and practical levels. Reception of the norms of international law, especially of humanistic nature, historically contributed to the improvement of legal systems of the so-called counties of “catch-up development”; in a certain way, the Russian Federation can also be attributed to this group. On the one hand, Russia has a rich tradition of creating the norms of perfect social legislation (including a fairly effective system of training social workers), whole on the other hand, in recent years we can observe the processes of “erosion” of social rights of the citizens.

Published: April 2021

Background:

Dermoscopy is useful in the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). However, most descriptions of the dermoscopic features of BCCs are in Caucasians (skin types I-III) and there is a paucity of data in dark-skinned Indian patients.

Aims:

The aim of this study was to describe the various dermoscopic features of BCC in dark-skinned patients from South India and correlate these with the histopathologic subtypes.

Methods:

A retrospective observational study of biopsy-proven cases of BCC was conducted at a tertiary care center in South India using nonpolarized contact dermoscopy.

Results:

Sixty BCCs in 35 patients predominantly of skin phototypes IV or V were studied. These included 32 nodular, 27 superficial and 1 infiltrative type of BCC. The most common dermoscopic features noted were maple leaf-like areas (61.7%), blue-white veils (53.4%), ulceration (48.4%) and short fine telangiectases (46.7%). Ulceration, blue-white veils and arborizing vessels were significantly associated with nodular BCCs, while maple leaf-like areas, red-white structureless areas, multiple small erosions and spoke wheel areas were noted with superficial BCCs.

Limitations:

The limitations of this study include its retrospective nature, the use of only nonpolarized light for examination, the lack of other histopathological variants of BCC as well as the lack of a comparison group.

Conclusion:

We report a dermoscopic study of BCC in dark-skinned patients from Puducherry, South India. The blue-white veil was observed in half of the patients and was significantly associated with nodular BCCs. The addition of the blue-white veil to the diagnostic criteria for pigmented BCC could improve the diagnostic accuracy of dermoscopy in Indian patients.
Psychosocial burden of lichen planus pigmentosus is similar to vitiligo, but greater than melasma: A cross-sectional study from a tertiary-care center in north India
Authors: Gupta Vishal , Yadav Deepika , Satapathy Sujata , Upadhyay Ashish , Mahajan Soniya , Ramam M. , Sharma Vinod Kumar
Published: April 2021

Background:

Lichen planus pigmentosus can have a negative impact on the quality of life; however, this has not been studied in detail.

Objectives:

To study the quality of life in patients with lichen planus pigmentosus and compare it with patients with vitiligo and melasma.

Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary-care center in north India from January 2018 to May 2019. Patients ≥ 18 years of age with lichen planus pigmentosus (n = 125), vitiligo (n = 113) and melasma (n = 121) completed the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire and answered a global question on the effect of disease on their lives. In addition, patients with vitiligo completed the Vitiligo Impact Scale (VIS)-22 questionnaire, while those with lichen planus pigmentosus and melasma filled a modified version of VIS-22.

Results:

The mean DLQI scores in patients with lichen planus pigmentosus, vitiligo and melasma were 10.9 ± 5.95, 9.73 ± 6.51 and 8.39 ± 5.92, respectively, the difference being statistically significant only between lichen planus pigmentosus and melasma (P < 0.001). The corresponding mean modified VIS-22/VIS-22 scores were 26.82 ± 11.89, 25.82 ± 14.03 and 18.87 ± 11.84, respectively. This difference was statistically significant between lichen planus pigmentosus and melasma, and between vitiligo and melasma (P < 0.001 for both). As compared to vitiligo, patients with lichen planus pigmentosus had a significantly greater impact on “symptoms and feelings” domain (P < 0.001) on DLQI, and on “social interactions” (P = 0.02) and “depression” (P = 0.04) domains on VIS-22. As compared to melasma, patients with lichen planus pigmentosus had significantly higher scores for “symptoms and feelings,” “daily activities,” “leisure” and “work and school” domains of DLQI, and all domains of VIS-22. Female gender was more associated with impairment in quality of life in patients with lichen planus pigmentosus, while lower education, marriage, younger age and increasing disease duration showed a directional trend.

Limitations:

Use of DLQI and modified version of VIS-22 scales in the absence of a pigmentary disease-specific quality-of-life instrument.

Conclusion:

Patients with lichen planus pigmentosus have a significantly impaired quality of life. The psychosocial burden of lichen planus pigmentosus is quantitatively similar to that of vitiligo, but significantly greater than melasma.
