Published: June 2022

Objective: The aim of the study is to objectify and evaluate urodynamic changes in women having urinary incontinence before and after performing synthetic sling operations.Methods: During the period from 2002 to 2020 104 women were observed (average age 54 years) who underwent trocar synthetic sling surgery. The group under observation included patients with a combined form of incontinence. The main method of urodynamic diagnosis was non-invasive 2-day uroflowmonitoring.Results: When comparing the data before and after TSS operation the following changes were found: an increase in the minimum capacity and a decrease in the maximum released volume, but together with this, the change in the average effective volume was unreliable. At the same time the structure of urination has radically changed. The indicators of the average value of the maximum flow have decreased and the entire speed profile has changed in general.Conclusions: Uroflowmetric monitoring makes it possible to identify objectively, adequately and non-invasively the urodynamic disorders in patients with urinary incontinence, which occur both in the preoperative and postoperative periods. According to the neurophysiological model these changes can be explained by the influence of the implant on micturition reflexes.

Authors: Vazhnichiy A. K. , Nesterov I. A.
Published: June 2022

Surgical technique and suture material applied in laparotomic wound suturing are important factors determining the risk of incisional hernias and other wound complications. Optimization of laparotomic wound closure will undoubtedly reduce the frequency of postoperative complications, including incisional hernias and subsequent secondary surgeries in patients. Thus it will improve their quality of life and, in economic terms, significantly reducing the cost of health care resources. Despite the great work carried out in this area by many groups of medical specialists and scientists around the world, today there is no single, generally accepted and proven advantage of the technique for closing a laparotomic wound.

Published: June 2022

The article presents a clinical case of a staged surgical treatment of a 43-year-old patient with an open intra-articular multi-splintered fracture of the distal femur (33, type C 3.3), complicated by a 5 cm defect of the diaphysial portion of the bone. The injury was gotten in an accident. Primary medical care was provided in Central Distict Hospital (CDH), in the form of primary surgical treatment of an open fracture and skeletal traction. After 3 weeks, the patient was transferred to a level 1 trauma center. There he underwent step-by-step operations using a distal femoral interlock plate and minimally invasive technique for primary osteosynthesis. Subsequently, during the next year, 2 more reconstructive operations were performed with simultaneous elongation of the femur, on a previously installed plate. The result is a complete anatomical and functional restoration of the knee joint and limb supportability.

Published: June 2022

The article presents clinical observations of surgical treatment of 2 patients aged over 60 years having polyfocal fractures of the proximal humerus on the background of osteoporosis. The patients were operated in the clinic on the basis of the KGAUZ "VKB No. 2". In both cases, the injury was got on streets. Patients fell on a slippery sidewalk. In the first week after the injury, internal osteosynthesis was performed according to the original technique: open reposition and interfragmental compression with a wire loop in combination with fixation of the fracture with a lockable plate for the proximal shoulder. As a result, anatomical restoration of the humeral head and the interrelation of the shoulder joint was achieved. Compression stable osteosynthesis according to the method developed by us allowed patients to begin active rehabilitation in the early postoperative period without risk of secondary displacement. We noted a clear advantage of the developed method of osteosynthesis in comparison with the use of a standard PHILOS-type interlocked plate.

Аналіз кластерної структури Інтернет-мереж на основі випадкових матриць
Authors: Кириченко Оксана Леонідівна , Малик Ігор Володимирович , Остапов Cергій Едуардович
Published: June 2022

Основна увага надається оцінці оптимальної кількості кластерів для системи, що задається матрицею суміжності A з N вузлами при N→∞ . Розглянуто асимптотичний розподіл власних значень стохастичної випадкової матриці без умов незалежності елементів, спектр якої можна розкласти на регулярну частину та викиди. На основі припущень про однотипність зв’язків у кластері зроблено висновок про оптимальну кількість кластерів для різних прикладних задач. Проведено моделювання мережі зв’язків, що розподілені за законом Пуассона, та знайдено оптимальну кількість кластерів. Результати моделювання вказують на високу точність визначення оптимальної кількості кластерів. У основній теоремі важливим є припущення про існування моменту вище другого для кожного елементу матриці A. Проте, з урахуванням нормалізації, цю умову можна послабити до існування математичного сподівання матриці. Дане послаблення умов збіжності дає можливість використання доведеного твердження на ширший клас прикладних задач, де наявність скінченної дисперсії не вимагається. Зазначимо, що викиди є дійсними власними значеннями для нормалізованої матриці, що дозволяє швидко локалізувати викиди зі складністю O(N), де N — кількість вузлів системи. Отже, вдалося послабити два важливі припущення щодо розподілу елементів випадкової матриці, а саме припущення про рівність нулю математичних сподівань елементів матриці та про незалежність елементів матриці. Крім того, незалежність елементів можна замінити слабкою незалежністю, яка зберігає збіжність до середнього значення в законі великих чисел.
Eksplikasi Konsep Milku Al-Yamīn Dalam Al-Qur’ān Dengan Hubungan Seks Non Marital Kajian Tafsir Tematik
Authors: Imran Maizul
Published: June 2022

Abstrak: Penelitian bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan konsep milku al-yamīn dalam al-Qur’ān, apakah maknanya sebuah alternatif penyaluran seksual ataukah ini berupa gambaran tradisi yang terjadi di kalangan masyarakat Arab sebelum Islam. Penelitian yang dilakukan Muḥammad Syaḥrūr menunjukkan keabsahaan hubungan seks di luar nikah dengan memahami makna milku al-yamīn di era kontemporer ini adalah kontrak yang dilakukan antara laki dan perempuan untuk melakukan hubungan seksual. Dengan hasil penelitiannya tersebut memunculkan pro kontra dan problematik di tengah masyarakat Indonesia. Sebagai kesimpulannya, untuk menjembatani serta mendalami makna milku al-yamīn dalam kajian tafsir tematik, maka makna milku al-yamīn itu adalah budak perempuan yang didapat lewat peperangan, tidak termasuk maknanya cara-cara selainnya. Sedangkan kebolehan untuk bergaul dengan mereka itu bukan untuk pelampiasan hasrat seksual, akan tetapi secara historis sebagai upaya untuk mengangkat derajat budak setara dengan merdeka. Konsep ini dapat dinilai sebagai jalan lain untuk menangkal diskriminasi terhadap tuduhan berbuat zina.
Orientalisme Dan Oksidentalisme: Kajian Keotentikan Al-Qur’an
Authors: Batubara Mardiyah Nur
Published: June 2022

Orientalisme melihat Timur sebagai the other, maka oksidentalisme bertujuan mengurai simpul sejarah yang mendua antara ego dengan the other, dan dialektika antara kompleksitas inferioritas pada ego dengan komplektsitas superioritas pada pihak the other. Orientalisme lama adalah pandangan ego Eropa, subjek pengkaji terhadap objek yang dikaji. Oksidentalisme ingin menuntut pembebasan diri dari cengkraman kolonialisme orientalis. Oksidentalisme kali ini dibangun di atas ego yang netral dan tidak berambisi merebur kekuasaan, dan hanya menginginkan pembebasan. Ia juga tidak ingin mendiskreditkan kebudayaan lain, dan hanya ingin mengetahui keterbentukan dan struktur peradaban Barat. Ego oksidentalisme dianggap lebih bersih, objektif, dan netral dibandingkan dengan ego orientalisme. Kajian orientalis tentang keotentikan al-Qur’an rupanya memancing reaksi dari kalangan Muslim (oksidentalisme). Sebagaimana halnya kritikan Fazlur Rahman dan al-‘Azami terhadap orientalis.

Published: June 2022

Türkiye’de 1950’li yıllarda başlayan kırsal alanlardan kentsel alanlara göçler artarak devam etmekle birlikte kentsel alanlardan kırsal alanlara göçlerde de artış görülmektedir. Yaşanan iç göç olgusuna farklı disiplinler kendi yaklaşımlarıyla ilgi gösterirken yürütülen tartışmalar, temel olarak köylülüğün sonunun geleceği ya da güncel koşullara göre yeniden üretileceği etrafında şekillenmektedir. Köy dışına göçün yoğunlaşması, tarım ve hayvancılık faaliyetlerinin azalması, proleterleşmenin artması gibi nedenler kimi araştırmacıları köylülüğün sonunun geleceği fikrine sabitlerken, kentsel alanlardan kırsal alanlara giderek artan göç, dayanışma örüntüleri ve aile emeğinin paylaşımı gibi nedenler de diğerlerini köylülüğün sürdürülebilirliği fikrinde birleştirmektedir. Bu makalede, günümüzde sosyal bir kategori olarak şekil değiştiren köylülükte akrabalık bağlarının nasıl bir yeri olduğu konusu ele alınacaktır. Makalede, klasik ve güncel yazında yer alan hem kırsal alanlardan kentsel alanlara hem de kentsel alanlardan kırsal alanlara yönelik iç göç konulu dikkat çeken kuramsal görüş ve araştırmalarla ilgili yayınlardan yararlanılacaktır. Yapılan alan araştırmaları, göçün ve akraba evliliklerinin yaygın olduğu Türkiye köylerinde güncel akademik yazında kırsal sürdürülebilirlikte sıklıkla göz ardı edilen ev, toprak ve ailenin anlamlarının altını çizmektedir.

Association of sex hormone dynamics with 10-year survival in men with implanted cardiac resynchronization therapy devices
Authors: Enina T. N. , Shirokov N. E. , Petelina T. I.
Published: June 2022

Aim. To assess association of different dynamics of sex hormones with 10-year survival in men with congestive heart failure (CHF) and implanted cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices.

Methods. Based on tercile of testosterone at the end of the study (TESend), 157 men with CRT (mean age 58.7±9.7 years old; 95 men (60.5%) w/ ischemic CHF) were divided into 3 groups: gr. I (n=52) - TESend<13.3 nmol/l; gr. II (n=53) - TESend>13.3<19.2 nmol/l; gr. III (n=52) - TESend>19.2 nmol/l. Parameters of echocardiography (Echo) were investigated in dynamics, N-terminal fragment of probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), total and free testosterone (TES), estradiol (E2), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), progesterone (PGN), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), E2/TES ratio were tested in plasma. Survival in groups was assessed using Kaplan-Meier method.

Results. Groups were comparable in age, presence of ischemic CHF, arterial hypertension and surgeries on myocardial revascularization. Higher incidence of atrial fibrillation, obesity, complete left bundle branch block, tendency to higher incidence of diabetes mellitus and higher body mass index was revealed in gr. I compared to gr. III. At baseline, groups didn’t differ in Echo parameters; the highest TES levels were found in gr. III. After CRT, there was less reverse cardiac remodeling, decrease of TES level (p<0.001) in gr. I vs increase of TES level in gr. II (p=0.041) and gr. III (<0.001); E2 level increased (p=0.008), levels of NT-proBNP and IL-6 decreased only in gr. III. In absence of dynamics of E2/TES index and DHEAS level in groups, E2/TES index was the highest and DHEAS level was the lowest in gr. I after CRT. 10-year survival of groups was 17.6%, 42.8%, 46.2% (Log Rank test I-II=0.016; Log Rank test I-III=0.004; Log Rank test II-III=0.528).

Conclusion. Obtained results indicated different dynamics of sex steroids after CRT. Sex hormones variation pattern, interrelated with increase in levels of testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and decrease in testosterone to estradiol ratio, was associated with better 10-year survival in men with implantable CRT devices with greater reverse cardiac remodeling and reduction in activity of systemic immune inflammation.
Predictive potential of blood biomarkers for subsequent ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction: review
Authors: Ilov N. N. , Nechepurenko A. A. , Shvartz R. N.
Published: June 2022

The current single-factor prognostic scale for the risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced left ventricle ejection fraction is considered by most experts to be inconsistent with modern medicine and should be modified. This position directs the efforts of researchers to search for additional prognostic factors, such as serum biomarkers. The last may reflect the state of cardiomyocytes and extracellular cardiac matrix, as well as endogenous and exogenous impacts to these structures. Such information may be important in determining the probability of the presence of myocardial pro-arrhythmic substrate and the electrophysiological conditions necessary to realize its potential. The data presented in this review suggest that concentrations of serum biomarkers may provide additional information for the estimation of personalized arrhythmic risk, which should help to avoid the clinical underestimation of the risk of sudden cardiac death and be a determining factor in the decision to implant a cardioverter-defibrillator.
Exploración funcional de la hipertensión arterial: un estudio comparativo de las pruebas del amital sódico y del cloruro de Tetraetilamonio en 8 casos
Authors:   , Heber Jorge
Published: June 2022

La hipertensión arterial, sobre todo en su forma esencial y maligna, constituyen un problema médico social de primera índole. Puede suponerse que con el ritmo creciente de la vida moderna aumenta la frecuencia de esta enfermedad. En los EEUU existen actualmente nada menos de 15000000 afectadas de esta enfermedad. No disponemos de cifras de la Argentina, pero es evidente que también aquí constituye uno de los problemas permanentes de la medicina. Al pretender tratar aún solamente un aspecto parcial de un tema tan vasto parece prudente circunscribir el tema, lo que hemos hecho ya en el título del trabajo al decir que nos limitaremos a tratar la exploración funcional de la hipertensión arterial y dentro de los múltiples métodos aplicados para este fin analizaremos los resultados de dos pruebas funcionales: la del ami tal sódico y la del tetraetilamonio en 8 enfermos. Evidentemente la cantidad de enfermos que presentamos, es depreciable, sobre todo en comparación can las estadísticas que se han hecho en el exterior en esta materia. Sin embargo creemos de interés la publicación de este estudio comparativo: primero por ser el empleo del tetraetilamonio relativamente nuevo en el país, según do porque la escasez de material ha impedido realizar trabajos más amplios sobre esta droga en el país, y tercero porque a pesar del número reducido de casos y la limitación que esto implica para su aceptación, creemos que los resultados si bien no pueden por la razón mencionada constituir una esta dística pueden ser un aporte modesto y un dato interesante para quienes se dediquen a la realización de estas pruebas.
A TRANSFORMAÇÃO DO ESPAÇO RURAL EM NOVOS EMPREENDIMENTOS IMOBILIÁRIOS EM PAÇO DO LUMIAR (MA)
Authors: Pereira Cruz Gleyciane , Marques Ana Rosa
Published: June 2022

O estudo busca refletir sobre a transformação dos espaços rurais no município de Paço do Lumiar, cidade integrante da Região Metropolitana da Grande São Luís-MA, destacando as implicações sociais e contradições relacionadas aos condomínios horizontais fechados e loteamentos em um município que ainda conserva características rurais, ocorrendo assim, a transformação de espaços rurais em urbanos que se inserem em uma conjuntura de privatização do acesso à terra, os quais os interesses privados se sobrepõem aos interesses coletivos. Dessa forma, as áreas rurais se submetem à lógica do espaço como ativo financeiro, transformado em mercadoria. Paço do Lumiar possui os efeitos espaciais oriundos de uma urbanização que privilegia o valor de troca em oposição ao uso social da cidade, e isto é observado na expansão urbana, na construção de condomínios fechados e, paralelo a tal fato, forma-se a polarização da pobreza e a luta por moradia na cidade. Disto resulta a formação da fragmentação social, por meio da construção de territórios exclusivos para as classes mais abastadas, gerando o aprofundamento da segregação territorial na cidade.
Dual resonance modes in two-port SAW resonator sensors: an analysis through scattering matrix approach
Authors: Zhihong Keenan Yap , Mohanan Ajay Achath , Ramakrishnan Narayanan
Published: June 2022

We report dual resonance modes occurring in two-port surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators attached with typical sensing film and investigated the significance in sensing applications. Two-port SAW resonators operating at 303 MHz frequency were modelled using the scattering matrix approach and resonance frequency characteristics of the resonators were studied for mass loading caused by an arbitrary film attached between the interdigital transducers of the resonator. Depending on the mass loading, symmetric and antisymmetric modes occur around the near resonance frequency of the SAW device. Either a single-mode or both modes are dominant depending on the phase shift caused by the mass loading of the film. Choosing arbitrary film thickness could result in complexity to track the resonance frequency shift and degrade sensing performance. The approach used for analysis can aid to determine the optimum sensing film thickness for two port SAW resonator-based sensors that can exhibit better linearity.
Ferroelectric polarization of tetragonal BiFeO3—an approach from DFT calculations for BiFeO3–BaTiO3 superlattices—
Authors: Noguchi Yuji , Matsuo Hiroki
Published: June 2022

Density functional theory calculations are conducted for tetragonal BiFeO3–BaTiO3 superlattices to investigate the influence of electronic structures on ferroelectric spontaneous polarization (P
s). When the number of the perovskite unit cells in one layer (N) is decreased below 10, the P
s starts to decrease from the volume-averaged one (50.9 μC cm−2) and eventually becomes half at N = 1. In the BiFeO3 cell (N = ∞) with a large P
s (73.3 μC cm−2), a covalent bond arising from a Bi_6p-O_2p orbital interaction is extended through a Bi–O network and stereo-chemical lone-pair electrons of Bi are accommodated in the opposite direction of the polar c axis. In the superlattice with N = 1, the Bi–O network cannot be developed by the presence of Ba, and then the Bi–O bond becomes ionic. We show that the large P
s of the BiFeO3 cell originates from the Bi_6p-O_2p mixing superimposed on the stereo-chemical nature of the lone-pair electrons of Bi.
Strong light confinement and optical force enhancement in phosphorene with acoustic plasmons
Authors: Wang Hao-yu , Ma Rui , Liu Gui-dong , Wang Ling-ling , Lin Qi
Published: June 2022

We analytically and numerically investigate the acoustic plasmon mode in phosphorene placed above a metallic substrate with a finite gap width. Combined with finite-difference time-domain simulations, we demonstrate the responses of evanescent waves in the phosphorene-insulator-metal (PIM) waveguide, involving field enhancement, light confinement, and optical force. It turned out that owing to a large amount of light energy squeezed inside the gap, the light confinement ratio and optical force along the armchair direction in the PIM waveguide can be up to 96% and 6930 pN mW−1, respectively. Our results may manifest in diverse optoelectronic applications like optical tweezers.

Published: June 2022

Kafa'ah in marriage is the existence of equality in position, comparable in social level, religion, lineage, and wealth. Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Rejang Lebong, a religious-based educational institution, all teachers should understand the concept of kafa'ah but in reality they have different views. Differences in interpretation regarding the understanding of the concept of kafa'ah based on the thoughts of the MAN teacher invite further interest. This study uses a qualitative approach with data sources obtained from primary data in the form of interviews with MAN Rejang Lebong teachers, and secondary data in the form of books, magazines, documents, articles, journals and websites on the internet. This study concludes that married Rejang Lebong MAN teachers consider the application of the concept of kafa'ah in the selection of prospective partners not to be the main element in the formation of a sakinah, mawaddah, warahmah family, but comfort, mutual understanding of the situation, mutual acceptance, making the family sakinah, whereas according to the opinion of unmarried MAN teachers thinks kafa'ah is something important as the main consideration in determining a life partner in order to get a sakinah, mawaddah, warahmah family, creating a quality next generation as well as eliminating gaps, and domination between spouses.

The directionality of interjoint neural coupling in the impaired upper extremity post stroke
Authors: Kim Dongwon , Koh Kyung , Baghi Raziyeh , Lo Li-Chaun , Zhang Chunyang , Zhang Li-Qun
Published: June 2022

Yet, little is known about the direction of abnormal coupling in conjunction with its degree between joints—muscles—of interest. In this study, we address the directionality of pathological neural couplings between joints, and variability in the degree of them, in the  upper  extremity  post  stroke.  To  evaluate  the  direction  of interjoint  coupling,  joint  motion  and  muscle  activity  in  an involuntary mode while another joint—muscle—was voluntarily activated were assessed in comparison to those made in a volitional mode, focusing on the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. Overall, involuntary activation of the wrist flexor in the stroke group is observed  when  muscles  of  a  more  proximal  joint  voluntarily activate (p < 0.1 and p <0.05), while activation of the wrist flexor does not lead to involuntary activation of the shoulder muscles and elbow flexor, in comparison to the healthy group. In particular, in the  stroke  group  who  is  assumed  to  have  a  severe  loss  of  the corticospinal system, the wrist extensor is subordinately activated by those about the other joints voluntarily activated (p < 0.05) while it does not cause activations of those about the other joints. These findings indicate that stroke-caused synergies could be directional.
Applying Internet of Things (IoT) to Prevent Road Accidents
Authors: Hossain Saidur
Published: June 2022

The number of road fatalities is continually increasing, and the age of autonomous cars on the road is swiftly approaching. Internet of things IoT, as well as the utilization of Big Data generated by IoT and M2M communication, offer a lot of potential for enhancing road safety. A Deep Learning technique without a training dataset that employs just a safety model and optimizes it sequentially through IoT learning over time might prevent a shortage of adequate Knowledge Bases while also boosting the ability to handle unforeseen circumstances. The article describes an Internet of Things (IoT) learning approach that uses in-vehicle sensors to prevent traffic accidents.
A Survey of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) & Natural Habits-based Behavioral Biometric Modalities for User Recognition Schemes
Authors: Gupta Sandeep , Maple Carsten , Crispo Bruno , Raja kiran , Yautsiukhin Artsiom , Martinelli Fabio
Published: June 2022

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) systems is having a profound impact across all aspects of life.  Recognising and identifying particular users is central to delivering the personalised experience that citizens want to experience, and that organisations wish to deliver.  This article presents a survey of human-computer interaction-based (HCI-based) and natural habits-based behavioral biometrics that can be acquired unobtrusively through smart devices or IoT sensors for user recognition purposes. Robust and usable user recognition is also a security requirement for emerging IoT ecosystems to protect them from adversaries. Typically, it can be specified as a fundamental building block for most types of human-to-things accountability principles and access-control methods. However, end-users are facing numerous security and usability challenges in using currently available knowledge- and token-based recognition (i.e., authentication and identification) schemes. To address the limitations of conventional recognition schemes, biometrics, naturally come as a first choice to supporting sophisticated user recognition solutions. We perform a comprehensive review of touch-stroke, swipe, touch signature, hand-movements, voice, gait and footstep behavioral biometrics modalities. This survey analyzes the recent state-of-the-art research of these behavioral biometrics  with a goal to identify their attributes and features for generating unique identification signatures. Finally, we present security, privacy, and usability evaluations that can strengthen the designing of robust and usable user recognition schemes for IoT applications.
Segmentation of household smart meter data linked to PV and battery value
Authors: Barbour Edward
Published: June 2022

The primary challenge with big smart meter data is to gain actionable insights which ultimately enhance the sustainability of the power network. In this paper, we analyze 1 year of smart meter data from 326 households in Austin, TX. Via clustering, we find distinct daily usage patterns, illustrating heterogeneous consumption behavior which changes throughout the year. However, most consumers have at least 56% of days explained by 3 out of 24 identified load types. For each load type we estimate the value of PV and batteries under flat rate and Time-Of-Use electricity tariffs. We find that knowledge of a consumers most common load shapes can significantly improve estimates for PV viability compared to a control estimate based on population-wide averages. However, knowledge of the most common load shapes does not improve estimates of battery viability unless electricity prices are time-varying. This highlights that, in general, the information contained by load shape clusters is of high value when consumers face economic choices that depend on the timing of their consumption. This work builds on current knowledge by explicitly linking smart meter segmentation techniques to individual consumer suitability for different distributed energy technologies.

Published: June 2022

Background: Lipid disorder is one of the common disorders which is seen in most of the diabetes patients that causes cardio vascular disorders. The incidence of coronary artery diseases is 3 to 5 times higher in diabetic patients compared to general population. Although this has been demonstrated for the Caucasian population few data are available for Asian Indians. Individuals with diabetes may have several forms of dyslipidemia leading to additive cardiovascular risk of hyperglycemia. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of lipid disorder among diabetic patients in Bangladesh. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Medicine, Mainamoti Medical College &Hospital, Cumilla, Bangladesh during the period from January 2020 to July 2020. Eighty eight (88) diabetic patients were enrolled as case group participants whereas 16 healthy people of similar ages were included in control group. This study was approved by the ethical committee of the mentioned hospital. Proper written consents were taken from all the participants before starting data collection. A pre-designed questionnaire was used in patent data collection. The serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were assayed in patients and controls, using standardized assay methods. All data were processed, analyzed and disseminated by MS Office and SPSS version as per need. Result: In this current study, in analyzing the comparative statuses of lipid profile we observed, the mean (±SD) TC (mg/dl) of case and control group participants were 208.9±54.6 and 257.4±103.4 respectively where we found significant correlation between the groups (P=0.006). We did not find any correlation between the groups in analyzing TG (mg/dl), HDL (mg/dl) and LDL (mg/dl) analyzing. In case group the mean (±SD) TG (mg/dl), HDL (mg/dl) and LDL (mg/dl) level were found 216.4±306.0, 39.2±11.0 and 114.8±47.4 respectively. On the other hand, in the control

Introduction: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare entity of ectopic pregnancies (<1%), which corresponds to the implantation and development of the fertilized egg in the abdominal cavity. Case discussion: Mrs. Z.F, 28 years old, II Gravidity II parity, referred to IBN Tofail Hospital for the fortuitous discovery of an abdominal pregnancy carried to term. The admission examination was unremarkable; the ultrasound had revealed a single ectopic fetus with normal cardiac activity and absence of amniotic fluid. On MRI, the fetal body was visualized in the right abdomen, placenta attached to the fundus serosa. The xypho-pubic laparotomy performed under general anesthesia, allowing the podalic extraction of a newborn male, with an Apgar score of 10/10. The newborn presented external malformations without notable vital distress; the maternal and fetal consequences were simple with a discharge on Day 7 postoperative. Conclusion: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare pathology still encountered in countries where medicalization is insufficient. The fetal prognosis remains reserved, justifying the interest of the early diagnosis and management.

Episiotomy, a very common surgery in obstetrics meant to reduce difficulty during delivery of the baby can itself be the cause for distress if it lands up in complications. Many of these complications like pain and swelling in the wound, induration, urinary retention, feeling of uncomfortable stitches, wound dehiscence etc. are related to the type of suture used for repair. This study is aimed at comparing the clinical outcomes following episiotomy wound repair using the two commonly used absorbable sutures chromic catgut and fast absorbing polyglactin 910 (vicryl rapide). 200 patients were included in the study with half of them undergoing repair with chromic catgut and the remaining half with vicryl rapide. They were evaluated at 24-48 hrs, 3-5 days and at the end of 6 weeks. Factors considered were pain and swelling around episiotomy, need for analgesia, induration, feeling of uncomfortable stiches, wound dehiscence, wound healing etc. It was observed that Pain score and need for analgesia were significantly less in the vicryl rapide group at 24-48 hours and 3-5 days, as well as the patients with complaints of uncomfortable stitches (11% vs. 27%), wound indurations (11% vs. 23%), wound discharge (infection) (8% vs. 19%) and wound dehiscence (7% vs. 16% at 3-5 days and 8% vs. 16% at 6 weeks). Dyspareunia was also less in the vicryl rapide group (9% vs. 21%). Wound healing was also observed to be better in the vicryl rapide group than the other group. So it was concluded that fast absorbing polyglactin is a better suture for episiotomy wound repair than chromic catgut considering the lesser complications and better healing with it.

Acute febrile encephalopathy is a term commonly used to identify the condition in which altered mental status either accompanies or follows short febrile illness. Japanese encephalitis (JE) and Dengue are arboviral diseases that are common in the tropical countries. Viruses of Flavirdae family are neurotropic like JE virus however; Dengue does not cause neurological diseases. One hundred five patients suspected AFE between age one month to 15 years were enrolled in the study. Out of them 32 (30.48%) cases showed evidence of viral etiologies by serological or molecular methods and in 73 (69.52) case no viral etiology was detected. Out of 32 patients, only 2 (1.90%) cases were positive for IgM Dengue antibodies. All subjects were negative for the IgM antibody of the JE virus. Till date no case of JE have not been reported in Rajasthan but Dengue encephalopathy might be missed as very few reports are available on its prevalence.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Medical institutions and hospitals worldwide and India in specific are typically facing an acute shortage of donated human body and organ. Among the bouquet of reasons, awareness, attitude, legal and medical knowledge are undoubtedly the prime factorials. A better understanding will enhance this noble strategy. With the objective to interpret the dismal behavior of Indian community related to body / organ donation, we try to access the mental makeup of a cohort of urban population of tribal city of Raigarh of Chhattisgarh (India) with Undergraduate MBBS students and paramedical staff of late Shri Lakhiram Agrawal Memorial Government Medical College as the study sample. Materials and methods: A pretested self-structured questionnaire distributed to 630 (181 MBBS students and 449 Paramedical staff) participants who consented to participate followed by an awareness session with the researchers. Data obtained was statistically analyzed. Results: Among 181 MBBS students and 449 paramedics who filled consent forms, the overall awareness was found to be 90.42% with 66.03% gathering information from medical faculty of the College, followed by media (33.97%). 81.75% supported body / organ donation as need of the hour. 72.37% Medico’s and 27.64% paramedics were aware about “brain dead”. 45.30% and 31.63% were registered donors and 66.55% giving positive response to donate organs for their relatives or friends. Appropriate legal view on donation was known by 26.51% individuals only. Simultaneously, due to organ mutilation 21.55% of MBBS students and 11.59% paramedics showed unwillingness towards donation programme. Religious attitudes were also one of the causes of displeasure towards the donation programme for 22.18% respondents. Conclusion: Medical professionals are the critical in eradicating doubts regarding body / organ donation programme. A specially designed teaching intervention can be proposed in Medical teaching curriculum along with mass level ........

The peripheral giant cell granuloma is a tumour like growth of the oral cavity. It has an unknown aetiology but believed to be a reactive lesion caused by local irritation or trauma. This article reports a case of peripheral giant cell granuloma in the edentulous region of the left posterior maxilla in a 35-year-old female patient. The lesion was sessile, measuring more than 15x15 mm in size, colour matching the adjacent mucosa involving the edentulous area distal to left upper second premolar extending till the edentulous region of the second molar. The radiograph shows peripheral cuffing of the bone. An excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathological appearance shows a fibro cellular stroma with numerous proliferating multinucleated giant cells scattered throughout the lesion. A diagnosis of peripheral giant cell granuloma was given. The patient was followed up for a year with no recurrence.
Corporate Governance Lapses at Indigenous Banks: The Case of Defunct UT Bank Ltd and Capital Bank Ltd
Authors: Obu Raphael Nyarkotey
Published: June 2022

Indeed, the Ghanaian business community was saddened with news on August 14, 2017, that the licenses of two indigenous banks - UT Bank and Capital Bank have been revoked. This practically came as a surprise to me and the many ordinarily Ghanaian on the street who transacts business with these two banks. Additionally, the two banks had won numerous awards for performing well in the industry. The two banks were taken over by GCB Bank Ltd. In the 2011 Ghana Banking Awards, UT Bank was adjudged the Bank of the year. Capital Bank was also adjudged the Best Growing Bank, and Best Bank in Deposits & Savings in 2016. A press statement issued by Bank of Ghana (BoG) read in part as follows: “The Bank of Ghana has revoked the Licences of UT Bank Ltd and Capital Bank Ltd. This action has become necessary due to severe impairment of their capital. The two banks have high non-performing loans. UT Bank and Capital Bank were deeply insolvent, meaning that their liabilities exceeded their assets, putting them in a position not to be able to meet their obligations as and when they fell due”. Interesting, one subject that came to the media front was the discussion on corporate governance in these two banks. The case was further compounded when one of the board Chairmen asserted that he had nothing to do with the daily activities of the bank; reason been that, he was then a non-executive board member. Was he right to make such a proclamation as the board chairman of the bank or it was just an ignorance on his part or his duties were ambiguous to him then? Maybe, I believe, in appointing him as the Chairman of the bank, they should had remembered what Habakkuk 2: 2 asserted (NIV): Then the LORD replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it”. This paper assesses the corporate governance lapses in these two indigenous banks and way forward.

Published: June 2022

Coarse aggregates derived from rock are commonly used as road pavement materials that meet the applicable specifications. This study uses rock aggregates originating from the polymeric area of Jayapura City, and this type is widely found in various areas of northern Papua. The study was conducted to determine the effect of local Papuan coral aggregates on the AC-WC Laston value. According to the 2018 General Specifications of Highways; namely, the added filler material must be dry and free from clumps and when tested by sieving according to SNI ASTM C136: 2012. The test results obtained characteristic values on the use of coral as follows: The highest density value at 4.5% asphalt content and the lowest 5.5% and 6.5%. The VMA value obtained is unstable, but all asphalt content meets Bina Marga Specifications 2010 Revision III, namely with a minimum VMA value of 15%, the highest VIM value of 3-5%, VFA values tend to increase but experience a decrease in asphalt content of 5.5% and 6.5%. The results of the Marshall test on coral material in the AC-WC layer are the high strength value 5495.89 kg, density: 1.74 gr/cm3, VMA: 24.42%, VIM: 15.83 %, VFA: 0.01%, flow: 10.00 mm, and MQ of 348.03 mm/kg. The value of Optimum Asphalt Content (KAO) used as AC-WC layer is 5.5%.
