Published: December 2020

In connection with a decrease in soil fertility, it is necessary to revise the doses of mineral fertilizers when growing watermelons of the Shirin variety in the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan. It is also necessary to establish the doses of fertilizers that have a positive effect on the yield and quality of the products obtained. The research was carried out at the experimental base of the Research Institute of Vegetables - Melons and Potatoes, located in the Tashkent region. The soils where the studies were carried out are typical gray soils of old irrigation with a humus content in the upper 0-25 cm horizon of about 1%, in the lower 25-40 cm horizon - about 0,7%. Calcareous soil, in texture referring stay to the dark loam average at density. During the research, the previously recommended doses of fertilizers were taken for control. During the experiments, the doses of mineral and organic fertilizers were increased accordingly. Studies have shown that the highest yield of good quality watermelons was obtained when applying 25,0 t/ha of manure in combination with N225 P225 K150 kg/ha and was equal to 21,2 t/ha, which is 37,7% higher than on the control variant (N150 P150 K100 kg/ha) and had good biochemical indicators of product quality: sugars 8,11%, dry matter 9,1%, ascorbic acid 21,6 mg%, nitrogen nitrates 20,6 mg/kg, on the control these indicators were equal to 6,65%, 8,6%, 17,9 mg%,13.2 mg/kg, respectively.

Background: Sarcomatoid carcinoma is an uncommon malignancy, represents only 0.1% to 0.3% of carcinomas.
Methods: The medical records of all the patients who underwent consecutive cystectomy and the TURBT specimen sent to pathology department of Sardar Patel Medical College, Bikaner, were retrospectively analysed. Detailed medical history was noted age, gender, indication for surgery, surgical procedure, tumour localization in the urinary bladder, diameter of the lesion after fixation with 10% formalin, and overall incidence of tumour reviewed in detail.
Results: Out of the total 541 patients, 41 were found to have histological evidence of benign lesions of the urinary bladder, hence not included in the study. Out of 500 patients of urinary carcinoma 1 patient was found to have histological evidence of sarcomatoid carcinoma which was further confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The patient was 29 years old male. Gross haematuria was the clinical presentation. Radical cystectomy was performed. The tumour was polypoid, located on left posterolateral wall of the bladder with dimension of 10X7X6 cm.
Conclusion: Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare variant with different therapeutic and diagnostic implications, presenting with gross haematuria. Sarcomatoid carcinoma was diagnosed on histological and immonohistological staining.

Background and Importance: Alkaptonuria is a rare genetic disorder due to homogentisic acid oxidase deficiency which eventuates in the reposition of homogentisic acid in different parts of the body and multi-organ involvements. The characteristic bluish-black discoloration of the skin and cartilage tissue is known as ochronosis. Case Presentation: Herein, we reported a 45-year-old woman with chronic pain in the lumbar area and radicular pain in her left leg, aggravating gradually during the previous six months before the operation. She also suffered from progressive muscle weakness in her left lower extremity. The patient was operated for prolapsed disc herniation. Macroscopically, no abnormality of the skin, muscles, or ligaments was observed during surgery. After incision of the annulus in level L3-L4, surprisingly the excised nucleus pulposus was black. The alkaptonuria was diagnosed after histopathological examination of the black disc material and confirmed by urinalysis. Conclusion: The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was free from low back pain and leg pain after surgery. In patients without any manifestations of alkaptonuria or ochronosis such as our case, timely diagnosis of this pathologic condition is momentous for investigation, treatment, and prevention of other organs’ involvement.

Background and Aim: The risk factors of the Neural Tube Defects (NTD) have been previously described but there are ethnic and geographical variations. Data from the Iranian population is still scarce. The objective of the current study was to investigate the NTDs risk factors in a large sample of Iranian patients admitted to a single center. Methods and Materials/Patients: This case-control study was performed within five years from 2012 to 2017 in Namazi Hospital of Shiraz, a tertiary referral center for neonatal anomalies in the south of Iran. One hundred newborns with NTDs were included in the study as the case group and 200 healthy newborns as the control group. We recorded the baseline characteristics including the maternal variables (age, weight, height, previous pregnancy and gravidity, gestational age), newborn information (birth weight, clinical diagnosis, clinical findings in the examination, and clinical findings in radiologic test) and medical history of the perinatal period. Results: The baseline characteristics of the mothers were matched in both groups. NTDs were associated with lower folic acid intake during pregnancy (66% vs. 78%; P=0.030; OR 95% CI=1.82) and before pregnancy (P=0.002; OR95% CI=2.36). The prevalence of NTD was significantly higher in patients who lived in hot climates (P=0.001). Conclusion: Taking adequate folic acid supplements before and during pregnancy can reduce the risk of NTDs in the Iranian population. Hot climate zones were associated with an increased risk of NTDs in Iran.

Background and Importance: Liponeurocytoma is a rare tumor of the CNS. Some of its prominent features include low neuronal proliferation with foci of lipomatous differentiation. So far, 70 reports on cases of brain liponeurocytoma have been published. Most of them were located in the cerebellar hemisphere, but only 7 cases of primary Cerebellopontine Angle (CPA) liponeurocytoma have been reported. Case Presentation: We presented a 27-year-old woman with a 6-month progressive headache and dizziness. More recently, she developed progressive hearing loss and ataxia. Pre-operative MRI of the brain demonstrated a heterogeneous solid extra-axial lesion in the right CPA with hydrocephalus. The operation was performed via the retro sigmoid approach. Histopathological diagnosis was confirmed as liponeurocytoma. No radiotherapy was performed. The patient was followed up for two years. There were no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: Liponeurocytoma is a rare tumor. In most of the cases, it is presented in the cerebellum, and the CPA as the primary location of this tumor is extremely uncommon. Typically, surgery is the treatment of choice for these lesions. If the tumor is subtotal, radiotherapy after operation and resection can also be advantageous.

Background and Aim: Several approaches have been proposed for the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) based on its severity. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal management for severe CTS. Methods and Materials/Patients: This cross-sectional study was conducted for 22 months from August 2017 to June 2019 in a referral rehabilitation clinic in southern Iran. A total of 117 hands diagnosed with severe CTS were included in 78 patients according to Electrodiagnostic Study (EDX) reports (considering Sensory Proximal Latency (SPL) >3.6 msec, Sensory Distal Latency (SDL) >5.3 msec, Sensory Nerve Conduction Velocity (SNCV) <30 m/sec, Distal Motor Latency (DML) >6.5 msec as being severe) who refused to undergo surgery. Boston questionnaire was filled out and conventional EDX was carried out at the first and the 1-year follow-up visits. Results: In patients with a detectable Sensory Nerve Action Potential (SNAP), motor amplitude (P<0.002) and latency (P<0.01), SPL (P<0.003) and SNCV (P<0.006), and Boston parameters improved significantly in the one-year follow-up visit compared with the results at the first visit. However, improvement in patients with absent or low amplitude SNAP at the first visit was only observed in proximal sensory latency (P<0.005) and amplitude (P<0.003). Conclusion: There is a considerable chance for non-surgical improvement of patients with severe CTS in terms of symptom relief, hand function, and EDX parameters in those with detectable SNAP at the first visit; however, patients with undetectable SNAP have little, if any, the chance for improvement with conservative measures.
