Maximizing “cuan or profit” in a business is a necessity. Traders often memorize all means in marketing their merchandise. Likewise, coffee sellers on Suromenggolo street or new road in Ponorogo Regency. In attracting customers they deliberately involve "sexy" women to sell their trade. This is a field of research, researchers go directly to the field to examine gaps that occur, data collection techniques using interviews, observation and data analysis. Various reasons for women to become coffee shop servants on Suromenggolo street, starting from the low level of education to being pushed aside, the difficulty of meeting family needs is a major factor. While in terms of the analysis the sociology of Islamic law, it was found that injustice in the process of cooperative interaction between coffee shop business owners and the female servants. Even though they are aware of the injustices and dishonesty that occur in reality they cannot fight the consequences of the agreed standard rules at the beginning.
Memaksimalkan cuan dalam sebuah bisnis maupun usaha merupakan keniscahyaan. Pedagang seringkali menghalkan segala cara dalam mamasarkan dagangannya. Begitu juga para penjual kopi di jalan Suromenggolo atau jalan baru Kabupaten Ponorogo. Dalam menarik pelanggan mereka sengaja melibatkan perempuan “seksi” untuk menjajalkan dagangnnya. Ini merupakan field research, yaitu peneliti terjun langsung ke lapangan untuk meneliti kesenjangan yang terjadi, teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan interview, observasi dan analisi data. Berbagai alasan para perempuan menjadi pelayan warung kopi di Jalan Suromenggolo mulai dari rendahnya tingkat pendidikan sampai terdesak akan sulitnya memenuhi kebutuhan ekonomi keluarga menjadi faktor utamanya. Sedangkan dari segi analisis sosiologi hukum Islam di temukan ketidakadilan dalam proses interaksi kerjasama antara pemilik usaha warung kopi dengan para pelayan perempuan tersebut. Meskipun mereka mengetahui atas ketidakadilan dan ketidakjujuran yang terjadi kenyataannya mereka tidak bisa melawan akhibat aturan baku yang sudah disepakati diawal.
New records of amphipod crustaceans along the Israeli Mediterranean coast, including a rare Mediterranean endemic species, Maera schieckei Karaman &amp; Ruffo, 1971
Authors: Lo Brutto Sabrina , Iaciofano Davide 
Published: July 2020

A survey has been carried out at four Israeli rocky sites to evaluate the diversity of the amphipod fauna on various hard substrates, still scarcely monitored, as potential pabulum for amphipod crustacean species.
A survey of shallow rocky reefs along the Mediterranean coast of Israel recovered 28 species and integrated the Amphipoda checklist for the country ofIsrael with 12 newly-recorded species. Such renewed national list includes Maera schieckei Karaman &amp; Ruffo, 1971, a rare species endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, recorded here for the first time from the southern Levant Basin. The species, described from specimens collected in the Tyrrhenian Sea in 1970, has been only recorded eight times within the whole Mediterranean Sea. A revision of the bibliography on the distribution and ecology of M. schieckei showed that, although mentioned only for the western Mediterranean basin by some authors, it is listed in the checklist of amphipods of the Aegean Sea and neighbouring seas and has been found in the eastern Mediterranean basin since 1978. Maera schieckei was rarely found in the Mediterranean, one of the most studied marine biogeographic region as concerns the amphipod fauna; and the species seems to prefer bays or gulf areas. The role of updating and monitoring faunal composition should be re-evaluated.

Authors: Armbrust Karen R. , Fox Austin R. , Jeffrey Brett G. , Sherry Patti , Sen H. Nida 
Published: July 2020

PURPOSE:
This prospective study evaluates whether rituximab is a safe and potentially effective treatment for nonparaneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy (npAIR).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Five npAIR patients were enrolled in a Phase I/II, prospective, nonrandomized, open-label, single-center study. All patients received a cycle of 1000 mg intravenous rituximab at weeks 0 and 2, with a second cycle of rituximab 6 to 9 months later. Clinical evaluation was performed at baseline, 6 and 12 weeks after each rituximab cycle, and then every 3 months for a total duration of 18 months. The primary outcome for this study was treatment success based on visual field and full-field electroretinography at 6 months. The secondary outcomes included treatment success at months 12 and 18, drug-related adverse events, changes in visual symptoms, and changes in quality of life.

RESULTS:
Two patients met criteria for treatment success: one based solely on electroretinography and the other based solely on visual field area, but treatment success was not sustained. Clinical response over the course of the 18-month study showed disease stabilization in three patients and treatment failure in two patients. There were no severe drug-related adverse events.

CONCLUSION:
This is the first clinical trial prospectively evaluating the effect of rituximab in npAIR and, although rituximab was well tolerated, there was no clear-cut clinical improvement conferred by B cell depletion with rituximab.
Bed-Occupancy Management in the Emergency Wards of the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi using the Queuing Model.
Authors: Bako IA , Agada PO , Utoo PM , Ikughur AJ 
Published: July 2020

Background: Patients who present at the Emergency Departments require specialized care and therefore should have access to beds, where necessary, in a timely manner. This study was aimed at using the queuing model to determine the optimal number of beds required for zero delay probability at the emergency wards of the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi, Benue State Nigeria.
Methodology: The study used the M/G/C/C queuing model for bed optimization at the emergency wards. Information on arrival, length of stay and number of beds for each of the wards covering three years viz. 2014, 2015 and 2016 were obtained from the medical records department. The average arrival rate and average length of stay were used to determine the delay (blocking) probability and the other performance measures.
Results: The delay probabilities at the current bed capacities were 0.11, 0.069, 0.023 and 0.011 for the male, female, paediatric and gynaecology emergency wards respectively. The number of beds required for zero delay probabilities for the male, female, paediatric and gynaecology emergency wards were 16, 14, 14 and 6 respectively instead of the current number of beds: 8, 8, 9 and 4 respectively.
Conclusion: The study found that at the current bed capacity situation of the emergency wards of Benue State University Teaching Hospital, delay probabilities are on the average high. The model for the hospital emergency wards showed that the optimal bed capacities for Male, Female, Paediatric and Gynaecology Emergency wards are 16, 14, 14, and 6 respectively. The queuing model should be carried out at regular intervals across the wards and should be part of the management decision making processes of the hospital.
Serum C-reactive protein and Pro-Calcitonin as an Indicator in Post-Operative Infection after Hepatobiliary Surgery
Authors: Joshua CC  , Sreejith V  , A. Sreekumar  
Published: July 2020

Background: Major hepato-biliary surgeries carry a high risk for post-operative sepsis. Recent therapeutic advances both medical and surgical have improved early post-operative outcome. Considering the difficulties in diagnosis of infection in critically ill patients an early sensitive and specific marker for sepsis would be of interest. Studies have shown that C - reactive protein (CRP) and pro calcitonin (PCT) are acute phase reactants and good independent early markers of post-operative sepsis, severe or septic shock. This aspect has not been evaluated in the hepatobiliary surgeries. More over there is no data available from the Indian sub-continent in this aspect. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of serum CRP and PCT levels after hepatobiliary surgery for diagnosis of postoperative complication. Subjects and Methods: This is a cross-sectional diagnostic study has conducted in 42 patients who all are satisfying the inclusion criteria. Study duration was From August 2017 to July 2019, conducted on patients between 18-80yrs of age undergoing hepato-biliary surgery, in surgical wards of PK Das Institute of Medical Sciences. Study variables include age, sex, pre-operative serum albumin level, pre and post-operative S.CRP AND S.PCT levels. On post-operative day 4 and day 7 S.CRP and S.PCT are monitored and its predictability also measured. . Descriptive statistical analysis will be carried out using SPSS (IBM). The p-value of less than 0.05 will be taken as significant. Results: out of 42 patients studied, 30 patients developed post-operative complications. Pre-operative serum C - reactive protein and serum procalcitonin measured compared with pre-operative serum albumin was significant identifying post-operative complications (P-value 0.02). On post-operative day 4 and 7value was significant in post-operative patients with P-value of 0.04 vs. 0.046 respectively. Similarly serum procalcitonin values also were significant on postoperative day (POD) 4 and 7 with P-value of 0.02 and 0.03. Sensitivity and specificity of S.PCT was more compared to S.CRP (92 vs 90% in sensitivity and 100% vs 80% in specificity respectively. This study shows those who were clinically septic post operatively have statistically elevated levels of serum CRP and Procalcitonin. Conclusion: S.PCT is more sensitive and specific as a marker of post operative infection following hepato biliary surgery. Early identification of patients with insidious septic illness allows early therapeutic intervention which may favorably influence outcome.
A prospective Comparative Clinical Study on Bladder Urine, Pelvic Urine and Renal Stone Culture & Sensitivity in Predicting Urosepsis Following Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Authors: V. Vijay Kumar Reddy  , Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy.G  
Published: July 2020

Background: Urosepsis means a severe infection of urinary tract (UTI) and/or male genital tract (prostate) with features consistent with systemic inflammatory response syndrome. UTI may occur among all the age groups and produce a broad range of clinical syndromes ranging from asymptomatic bacteriuria to acute pyelonephritis with gram negative sepsis to septic shock. It is estimated that the mortality rate due to urosepsis ranges from 30 to 40 p.c respectively. Urosepsis may also cause multiple organ dysfunction, hypoperfusion or hypotension. Urosepsis due to percutaneous nephrolithotomy may be catastrophic despite prophylactic antibiotic coverage and negative midstream urine culture and sensitivity testing (C&S) and bacteria in the stone can be responsible for systemic infection. The aim of the study is to compare bladder urine (culture & sensitivity) and collecting system urine and stone (culture and sensitivity) in predicting urosepsis following percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Subjects and Methods: A hospital-based, analytical prospective clinical study was conducted among thirty cases who were present during the study period and had undergone percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Cases were included irrespective of gender with renal calculi in whom percutaneous nephrolithotomy was about to be done at Narayana Medical College & Hospital, Chintareddypalem, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh during 1st February 2014 to 31st January 2015. Data collected was divided into three main groups Midstream urine (C&S); Pelvic urine (C&S); and Stone (C&S) respectively. Data obtained was entered in Microsoft Excel-2013 and analyzed in SPSS version-22 trial. Appropriate statistical tests were applied and p-value less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Bladder urine (C&S) was positive in 3/30 (10.00%) patients, Pelvic urine (C&S) in 5/30 (16.66 %) patients and Stone (C&S) in 8/30 (26.66 %) patients. Most of the infected specimens grew Escherichia coli followed by pseudomonas, klebsiella, enterococcus. Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) was reported among 26.7 p.c (8) of the patients. In one patient (3.33%) septic shock developed but no deaths were reported. Conclusion: Stone (C&S) and Pelvic urine (C&S) are better predictors of urosepsis than Bladder urine (C&S).

Published: July 2020

Background: The technical advancements in urology have profoundly changed the management of upper ureteric calculus. The present study compared antegrade percutaneous versus retrograde ureteroscopic lithotripsy in upper ureteric cases. Subjects and Methods: The present study was conducted at NRI Medical College & Hospital, Chinakakani, Mangalagiri Mandal, Andhra Pradesh from May 2013 to April 2014 on 60 patients with upper ureteric stones of both genders. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Group I patients were treated with antegrade percutaneous and group II with retrograde ureterolithotripsy. Outcome in both groups was recorded and compared. Results: The mean anesthetic time in group I was 82.4 minutes and in group II was 73.1 minutes, operative time was 45.2 minutes in group I and 58.4 minutes in group II, post- operative stay in group I was 2.6 days and in group II was 1.7 days, stone clearance was seen in 26 patients in group I and 22 in group II. Mean stone size in group I was 1.89 cm and in group II was 1.49 cm. Follow ups days were 71.2 in group I and 83.4 in group II. Clavien-Dindo categorization grade 0 was seen in 16 in group I and 13 in group II, grade 1 in 10 in group I and 12 in group II and grade 2 in 4 in group I and 5 in group II. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). There were 4 and 5 patients in group I and group II with post- operative complications (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that antegrade percutaneous has better stone clearance rates as compared to retrograde ureterolithotripsy for an upper ureteric calculus.
Comparative Evaluation of Open and Laproscopic Method of Appendectomy in Acute Appendicitis
Authors: Amarnath Gupta  , A P Singh  
Published: July 2020

Background: There is definitely added advantage of laparoscopic operations. Most of the surgeons now prefer these minimally invasive proce- dures. Laparoscopy has become the number one choice of educated and affording patients. The aim of the study was to compare and evaluate the open and laproscopic method of appendectomy in acute appendicitis. Subjects and Methods: The subjects undergoing appendectomy were evaluated for age, sex, episode number, duration of pain before presentation in hospital, operative time, conversion rate, wound infection, post-operative intra-abdominal abscess formation, and stay in hospital. Results: It was found that average operative time in open surgery was
67.5 minutes and 104 minutes in laparoscopic surgery, with a conversion to open in about 20% of the cases. Oral feeding in the open group was around the 5th day while it was around 2nd day in the laparoscopic group. Average hospital stay was also low in the laparoscopic group, being only around 5 days in laparoscopic group and around 8 days in the open group. Overall complications were also low in the laparoscopic surgery group. Conclusion: It was noted that though conversion to open operation was definitely high but there were other advantages of laparoscopic surgery as well. Stay in the hospital, beginning of oral feeds, requirement of analgesics, wound infection, intra-abdominal abscess; pulmonary complications were less in laparoscopy group.
P53 and the Carcinoma of the Breast: A Review
Authors: Sujan Narayan Agrawal  , Anuradha Nayak  
Published: July 2020

TP53 is a gene and p53 is its product protein. Since its discovery many studies have looked into its function and its role in cancer. It is not only involved in the induction of apoptosis but is also, a key player, in cell cycle regulation, development, differentiation, gene amplification, DNA recombination, chromosomal segregation and cellular senescence and so, it is called “the guardian of genome”. The human TP53 gene spans 20kb on chromosome band 17p13.1. The biological functions of p53 are apoptosis, senescence and cell migration. The evolution of a normal cell towards a cancerous one is a complex process. Tumorogenesis is considered to endow, the evolving tumor with, self-sufficiency of growth signals, insensitivity to antigrowth signals, evasion from programmed cell death, unlimited replicative potentials and finally the ability to invade and metastasize. TP53 may be considered as the “ultimate tumor suppressor gene”. Its oncogenic activity is attributed to loss of function, dominant negative (DN) oncogenic properties and activities of mutant p53. In breast cancer its oncogenic function is due to p53 mutation, changes in- upstream regulatory pathways, in p53 transcriptional target genes, in p53 co-activators, and/or involvement of other family members of p53 family like p63 and p73. The p53 mutation is present in only in about 20% of breast cancers, but when present, they entail the worst prognosis. This interesting paper is a review and discussion about role of p53 in carcinoma breast.
The Art of the Body: Antiquity and Its Legacy
Authors: Squire Michael 
Published: July 2020

The art of the human body is arguably the most important and wide-ranging legacy bequeathed to us by Classical antiquity. Not only has it directed the course of western image-making, it has shaped our collective cultural imaginary - as ideal, antitype, and point of departure. This book is the first concerted attempt to grapple with that legacy: it explores the complex relationship between Graeco-Roman images of the body and subsequent western engagements with them, from the Byzantine icon to Venice Beach (and back again). Instead of approaching his material chronologically, Michael Squire faces up to its inherent modernity. Writing in a lively and accessible style, and supplementing his text with a rich array of pictures, he shows how Graeco-Roman images inhabit our world as if they were our own. The Art of the Body offers a series of comparative and thematic accounts, demonstrating the range of cultural ideas and anxieties that were explored through the figure of the body both in antiquity and in the various cultural landscapes that came afterwards.
If we only strip down our aesthetic investment in the corpus of Graeco-Roman imagery, Squire argues, this material can shed light on both ancient and modern thinking. The result is a stimulating process of mutual illumination - and an exhilarating new approach to Classical art history.
