Authors: Patil Abhilasha B. , Thorat Komal D.
Published: December 2023

Stroke is the third most common cause of death in the world and most common cause of adult disability of the survivors. Balance problems in stroke is very common, and they have been implicated in the poor recovery of activities of daily living (ADL) and mobility and an increased risk of falls. They also have altered in body weight distribution patterns, so that less body weight is taken through the weaker leg have smaller excursions when moving their weight toward the base of support, mostly in the direction of the weaker leg. My fitness trainer (MFT) balance board consists of a uniaxial unstable platform with an integrated sensor, which records all discrepancies in the plane. A 30-year-old female who has history of stroke 4 year ago has chief complain of weakness of upper limb and lower limb and unable to maintain dynamic balance. In this study we assessed the patient on berg balance scale and my fit trainer balance board with pre score and post score which shows significant improvement in results. The Berg balance scale measure score from 37/56 pre-treatment to 48/56 post treatment which shows significance increase in berg balance scale. The MFT balance board measure score from 4.2 disappointed stability in 30 seconds pre-treatment and 3.4 improve stability in 120 seconds post treatment which shows significance increase in MFT balance board. It concluded that there is effect of MFT to improve balance in chronic stroke patient.
Tale of spontaneous passage of large proximal ureteric calculus in a male patient
Authors: Agrawal Shivendra , Srinath N. , Prathvi
Published: December 2023

Ureteric stones are very notorious. Sometimes a very small stone may require a surgical removal and sometimes a large stone might pass spontaneously. We report a case of a 43 years old male patient who presented to our department with complaint of right flank pain of 1-week duration. This patient was diagnosed with right proximal ureteric calculus (11×6 mm) at L3 level. He was planned for ureterorenoscopy lithotripsy (URSL)/push back percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Patient needed time for getting financially prepared for the surgery. Meanwhile we prescribed him an alpha blocker once daily at bedtime, oral analgesia SOS and advised to take adequate hydration. On 10th day of first presentation, to our surprise, the patient came with a stone in his hand, which he has passed spontaneously, and was confirmed by a radiograph. The likelihood of a ureteric stone spontaneously passing during expectant treatment is influenced by various factors, including its size, location, and orientation within the ureter. 11×6 mm proximal ureteric stone is the largest stone passed spontaneously in a male patient in our institute and most probably in literature.

Published: December 2023

Prostatic leiomyosarcoma is an exceedingly rare malignant tumour arising from smooth muscle cells in the prostate gland. It ranks quite low down on the possible differentials of bladder outlet obstruction. We present a case of a 38-year-old male who initially presented with acute urinary retention and was subsequently diagnosed with prostatic leiomyosarcoma. Following histopathological confirmation, metastatic work-up was performed and patient planned for radiation and surgical cure. Patient on follow-up is well and has resumed normal daily work. This case report aims to increase awareness of this rare malignancy, discuss the diagnostic challenges faced with a highly common clinical spectrum at the onset, present the treatment strategies employed, and discuss the patient's clinical outcomes. We emphasise the importance of reporting rare cases like this to contribute to the existing literature and enhance the understanding of prostatic leiomyosarcoma.
A cutaneous malignant granular cell tumour: an uncommon entity with diagnostic challenge
Authors: Bala Jyoti , Sharma Ankur , Sharma Sachin
Published: December 2023

Granular cell tumour (GCT) is rare and accounts for approximately 0.5% of all soft tissue tumours. The malignant GCT (MGCT) especially cutaneous malignant granular cell tumour is extremely rare constituting 1-2% of all granular cell tumours and mostly found in the subcutaneous soft tissues of lower exrtremities, especially thighs. The uncommon occurrence of cutaneous MGCT and their histopathological similarities with other entities make diagnosis difficult in some cases. Here we report a case of 36 years old male patient who presented with a mass in the skin of right lower abdominal wall which has been increased gradually over the last one year without pain. The size of the mass is approximately 6.5 cm in greatest dimension, firm in consistency with surface irregularity and ulceration diagnosed as malignant GCT at the histopathological examination showing focal ulceration and lined by keratinized stratified squamous epithelium revealing acanthosis and pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia. The dermis show neoplastic epithelioid cells arranged in sheets and nests with vesicular chromatin, conspicuous to prominent nucleoli, and abundant amount of fine granular eosinophillic cytoplasm. Mitosis is more than 2/10HP. Immunohistochemical stains for S-100, CD 68 and vimentin were positive in the lesional cells.

Drug-induced (iatrogenic) Cushing's syndrome results from excessive or prolonged exposure to glucocorticoids, commonly prescribed for autoimmune, inflammatory, and hematological disorders due to their anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and proapoptotic effects. Despite their therapeutic benefits, these medications can lead to a range of multisystemic symptoms mirroring those of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome. This review aims to elucidate the causes, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome, emphasizing awareness of medications that can trigger its onset. The following review covers cortisol physiology, Cushing's syndrome etiology and subtypes, hypercortisolism complications and prognosis, and strategies for glucocorticoid withdrawal. This article synthesizes key findings and recommendations, highlighting challenges and controversies in the diagnosis and treatment of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome.

Published: December 2023

There are many different clinical manifestations of celiac disease (CD), including the classical form, in which intestinal symptomatology predominates on the contrary there is atypical forms, in which extra-intestinal clinical features predominate, and the silent form, in which there are no clinical symptoms. Few or no gastrointestinal symptoms and a predominance of extra-intestinal features, including liver, kidney, skeletal, psychiatric, neurologic, dermatologic, hematologic, endocrinological, and reproductive involvements, define the atypical forms of the disease. Through screening high-risk groups, silent presentations of CD may be found. It is crucial for healthcare professionals to have a high level of suspicion for the atypical presentations of CD because it is now well known that CD may account for a number of chronic health issues.

Published: December 2023

Background: Adequate nutrition is an important concern in children with leukemia. Malnutrition impairs immune function, leading to increased incidence of infection, poor quality of life, as well as death. Febrile neutropenia (FN) has a high prevalence in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and a poor outcome as well.
Methods: This prospective observational study was done in the department of pediatrics hematology and oncology (PHO), BSMMU, from January 2021 to October 2021. A total of 60 patients of ALL were selected purposively. Patients were evaluated by taking anthropometric parameters before getting chemotherapy and were prospectively followed up for the development and outcome of FN until recovery. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS (Statistical package for the social sciences) for Windows version 26.0.
Result: Analysis of nutritional status as a risk factor for FN based on anthropometric indices, was found statistically significant for, weight for height (≤5 years) p=0.036, OR=0.24 (95% CI= 0.06-0.958), weight for age p=0.006, OR=0.23 (95% CI=0.07-0.67), but for BMI for age (>5 years) p=0.28, OD=0.28 (95% CI=0.02-3.19), and height for age p=0.513, OD=0.66 (95% CI=0.18-2.33) no statistically significant value was found. In this study, we found mortality rate was 15%. The mortality rate was significantly worse (27.3%) for patients who were malnourished at diagnosis as compared to those who were well nourished (7.9%) at diagnosis.
Conclusions: FN and its complications are more common in malnourished children with ALL. Malnutrition is associated with adverse outcomes of FN in children with ALL.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the use of host plants in an effort to multiply mycorrhizal propagules indigenous to Gunung Ciremai National Park. The experimental method used a factorial complete randomized design with 2 factors. The first factor was the location of the source of inoculum by 3 levels: mixed forests, shrubs, and pine stands. The second factor was 4 types of host plant many as 4 levels: corn (Zea mays), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor. (L.) Moench), centro beans (Centrosema pubescens), and ruji beans (Pueraria javanica). Each treatment was repeated five times, so there were 60 experimental units. The spores were isolated by wet filtration and decantation methods adapted from Gerdemann and Nicolson (1963), followed by the modified sugar centrifugation method from Jenkins (1964). The observed parameter was the number of mycorrhizal spores. The data obtained were analyzed by a variance test (F test). To evaluate the treatment's effect and compare the selected treatments, Duncan's follow-up test was used at the level of 5%. The combination of the location of the shrub inoculum and the centro bean host plant showed the largest spore population, which was 222.60 per 50 g soil sample. Trapping techniques using host plants of corn, sorghum, centro beans, and ruji beans showed suboptimal results. The most common genera were Glomus (80%; 4 species), Gigaspora (10%, 1 species), and Acaulospora (10%, 1 species). Glomus was evenly found in all trapping results.

The increase in Indonesia's population every year is accompanied by an increase in rice consumption. To balance the increase in rice demand, it must be balanced with an increase in national rice production. Paddy fields are the mainstay for producing paddy (rice), the main commodity supporting food security. An effective and efficient way to increase national rice production sustainably is to increase productivity through accurate selection of technological components by taking into account the conditions of the biotic environment, abiotic environment, and optimal land management by farmers. Lowland rice farmers generally use conventional systems by using chemical fertilizer and pesticide inputs as often as possible, thus affecting land quality and grain yield. A farmer's maturity in farming will influence the characteristics of the farmer. The characteristics of farmers and their competencies are an illustration of the farmer's ability to manage farming based on effective and efficient planning by plant cultivation techniques to realize food security and independence. The research aims to study the characteristics of farmers in applying cultivation techniques to increase lowland rice production Survey research and data collection were carried out on groups of farmers who own paddy fields in North Bolaang Mongondow Regency (Sangkub District, Bintauna District, and Bolangitang District). The data taken in this research were age, education level, rice cultivation techniques, and farming experience. The research results showed that the production per hectare obtained according to farmers' cultivation techniques was 1-2 tonnes/ hectare by 45% of farmers and 3-4 tonnes/ hectare by 55% of farmers. Financial conditions influence the application of rice cultivation techniques in North Bolaang Mongondow Regency, Indonesia.

Grammatical Complexity and Gesture Production of Younger and Older Adults
Authors: ARSLAN Burcu , ÖZER Demet , GÖKSUN Tilbe
Published: December 2023

Age-related effects are observed in both speech and gesture production. Older adults produce grammatically fewer complex sentences and use fewer iconic gestures than younger adults. This study investigated whether gesture use, especially iconic gesture production, was associated with the syntactic complexity within and across younger and older age groups. We elicited language samples from these groups, using a picture description task (N=60). Results suggested shorter and less complex speech for older than younger adults. Although the two age groups were similar in overall gesture frequency, older adults produced fewer iconic gestures. Overall gesture frequency, along with participants’ ages, negatively predicted grammatical complexity. However, iconic gesture frequency was not a significant predictor of complex syntax. We conclude that each gesture might carry a function in a coordinated multimodal system, which might, in turn, influence speech quality. Focusing on individual differences, rather than age groups, might unravel the nature of multimodal communication.
The Reception of Graham Harman’s Philosophy in Polish and Ukrainian Scholarship
Authors: Korchevnyi Vasyl
Published: December 2023

The article aims to explore the ways in which scholars from Poland and Ukraine engage with Graham Harman’s philosophical work1 . The introductory part briefly describes Harman’s ontology and demonstrates the link connecting Harman with Polish and Ukrainian intellectual environments. Harman’s object-oriented ontology (OOO) states that objects are the fundamental building blocks of reality and cannot be reduced either to what they are made of or to what they do, that is, either to their constituents or to their effects. The connection with Poland and Ukraine goes back to the theory of objects suggested by the Polish philosopher Kazimierz Twardowski, whom Harman names among the predecessors of his ontology and who influenced both Polish and Ukrainian intellectual milieus. The next part of the article examines the history of the reception, identifying its key events and publications. The reception in Poland proves to be much more substantial than in Ukraine. A common tendency is determined: a conflation of Harman’s OOO and speculative realism by mistakenly ascribing the features of the former to the latter (broader concept), which suggests that speculative realism is being received through the lens of Harman’s project. The next part establishes the key discursive points that are used to map Harman’s ideas within the contemporary philosophical landscape. They can be summarised by the terms antianthropocentrism and antireductionism. The final part analyses the strategies for applying Harman’s theory showing that it can become the lens for interpretation and direct our attention to nonhumans and the hidden, inexplicable dimension of things or provide an ontological grounding for semi-literary and literary discourses. The methodology of this application, though, needs further development and clarification. Overall, in Poland, two of Harman’s books and two articles have been translated, and at least two books, one Ph.D. dissertation, and around two dozen articles discuss or apply his ideas. Apart from philosophy, his OOO is used for discussing literature, video games, films, humanities in general, education, management processes, antique studies, and ecocriticism. In Ukraine, one of Harman’s articles has been translated, and around ten articles and one collective monography engage with his philosophical project. Some of the Ukrainian works also apply Harman’s OOO in contexts that are not strictly philosophical, namely, in literary criticism, urban studies, film studies, and humanities in general. This paper can be of use to researchers studying OOO and its reception in different countries. In addition, it can help Ukrainian and Polish scholars who want to discuss or use OOO to familiarize themselves with the previous reception in their countries, thus facilitating domestic philosophical interaction.

Published: December 2023

A dyslexic child experiences a common obstacle in the learning process due to having difficulty reading and recognizing letters (corrective and remedial readers). If left unchecked, the potential of dyslexic children will be hampered because reading is a basic human ability. Therefore, in this study, researchers designed a learning media design that makes it easier for dyslexic children to recognize hijaiyah letters. The research method used is R&D using the ADDIE development model. The study that the researchers conducted was limited to the development of design, so the purpose of this study was to provide an overview of the design of multisensory mirror book media. The design is developed with a printed book-based that will maximize the function of the senses of sight and touch. Dyslexic children will be invited to learn while playing by reflecting hijaiyah letters on concrete objects found in everyday life. In their learning, they were also invited to play by attaching glitter to hijaiyah stickers and then touching them. His motor function was tested by rewriting hijaiyah letters and then checking the correctness of the writing using a mirror. In the future, the design developed by researchers can continue to be refined to help dyslexic children learn hijaiyah letters to make it easier and more fun.
