Constructing the Discourse of Marginalised Ethnic Community in Rai's Fire Cares not its Birthday Anniversary
Authors: Rai Jiwan Kumar 
Published: July 2020

The decade of 2010s is very crucial in literary creation, particularly poetry writing in Nepali literature because the trend of writing shifted to the representation of marginalised people and their “culture as whole way of life” (qtd in During 2). Mainly the indigenous poets are concerned to the issues of marginalised indigenous people. Bhupal Rai's collection of poem Fire Cares not Its Birthday Anniversary falls in the same trend that deconstructs the cultural discourses of the state power and reconstructs the discourse of the indigenous people. In this context, this study aims to find out the issues of cultural discourses in the poems that the poet resists against and reconstructs a new body of knowledge, i.e. a counter discourse of marginalized. In the same way, it attempts to unfold how he resists against the existing body of cultural discourses and reconstructs the discourses from the perspective of marginalised people. Similarly, this study aims to analyses the logical reasons of redefining and reconstructing the existed ruling groups' body of knowledge. The interpretive method has been used to analyses the texts. For this, Foucault's concept of power/discourse has been applied as a theoretical tool. This research article gives the insights to see the interwoven power relations in social practices and construction of knowledge.

Published: July 2020

The results of the young Chileans who participated in the International Study of Civic and Citizenship Education 2016 emphasize the need for the school to positively influence the formation of citizens, which has been reinforced by Law No. 20.911.Â Following a qualitative methodology and an interpretive approach of a multiple case study, this project seeks to characterize the materialization of the educational policy of citizenship education in eight schools throughout the country. This was done based on an analysis of the Plan for Citizenship Education, observation of teacher practices, review of documents and the perception of teachers, principals and 8th grade students, gleamed from interviews. Results show that the elaboration of the Plan for Citizenship Education has lacked proper support and its responsibility lies mainly with the teacher assigned to oversee its implementation, in each school, which implies that in many cases there is no collaborative reflection on the type of citizen that should be formed. Likewise, the work of educating citizens is assigned to the subject of History, Geography and Social Sciences, contradicting the transversal nature of Citizenship Education in the school curriculum. Finally, the Citizenship Education Plan is drawn up primarily to comply with current ministerial regulations.

This research seeks to deepen understanding of the mentoring practices used, in an initial phase of this process in Chile, to accompany, support and facilitate the professional insertion of noviceÂ teachers into their educational communities. The investigation is based on a qualitative and exploratory, descriptive-interpretative approach, that considers the study of four cases, consisting of four pairs of mentors and novice teachers. This strategy permitted a detailed and in-depth investigation of this type of accompaniment,Â which considered the characterization of theÂ reflection andÂ knowledge promoted as wellÂ the strategies used by the mentors during the mentoring process.Â The findings show the mediation of contextual and relational elements that are linked to the organization of the mentoring process. Likewise, Â the study identifies the preeminence of certain thematic focuses, frameworks as well asÂ knowledge and resources that the mentor uses during the accompaniment.Â This study aims to contribute to the National Induction System, which has recently emerged in Chile, by promoting recommendations that will help improve mentor training, strengthen the mentoring process, and generate guidelines and proposals for educational policy in this area.
Acute low-pressure hydrocephalus: a case series and systematic review of 195 patients
Authors: Keough Michael B. , Isaacs Albert M. , Urbaneja Geberth , Dronyk Jarred , Lapointe Andrew P. , Hamilton Mark G. 
Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVE
Acute low-pressure hydrocephalus (ALPH) is characterized by clinical manifestations of an apparent raised intracranial pressure (ICP) and ventriculomegaly despite measured ICP that is below the expected range (i.e., typically ≤ 5 cm H2O). ALPH is often refractory to standard hydrocephalus intervention protocols and the ICP paradox commonly leads to delayed diagnosis. The aim of this study was to characterize ALPH and develop an algorithm to facilitate diagnosis and management for patients with ALPH.

METHODS
EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases were searched for ALPH cases from its first description in 1994 until 2019. Cases that met inclusion criteria were pooled with cases managed at the authors’ institution. Patient characteristics, presenting signs/symptoms, precipitating factors, temporizing interventions, definitive treatment, and patient outcomes were recorded.

RESULTS
There were 195 patients identified, with 42 local and 153 from the literature review (53 pediatric patients and 142 adults). Decreased level of consciousness was the predominant clinical sign. The most common etiologies of hydrocephalus were neoplasm and hemorrhage. While the majority of ALPH occurred spontaneously, 39% of pediatric patients had previously undergone a lumbar puncture. Prior to ALPH diagnosis, 92% of pediatric and 39% of adult patients had a ventricular shunt in situ. The most common temporizing intervention was subatmospheric CSF drainage. The majority of patients underwent a shunt insertion/revision or endoscopic third ventriculostomy as definitive ALPH treatment. Although the mortality rate was 11%, 83% of pediatric and 49% of adult patients returned to their pre-ALPH neurological functional status after definitive treatment. Outcomes were related to both the severity of the underlying neurosurgical disease causing the hydrocephalus and the efficacy of ALPH treatment.

CONCLUSIONS
ALPH is an underrecognized variant phenotype of hydrocephalus that is associated with multiple etiologies and can be challenging to treat as it frequently does not initially respond to standard strategies of CSF shunting. With early recognition, ALPH can be effectively managed. A management algorithm is provided as a guide for this purpose.

Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVEIn this study, the authors aimed to determine 1) whether the use of intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) affects outcomes and complication rates of children undergoing resective epilepsy surgery; 2) which patient- and epilepsy-related variables might influence ECoG-based surgical strategy; and 3) what the predictors of epilepsy surgery outcomes are.METHODSOver a period of 12 years, data were collected on pediatric patients who underwent tailored brain resections in the Motol Epilepsy Center. In patients in whom an abnormal ECoG pattern (e.g., spiking, suppression burst, or recruiting rhythm) was not observed beyond presurgically planned resection margins, the authors did not modify the surgical plan (group A). In those with significant abnormal ECoG findings beyond resection margins, the authors either did (group B) or did not (group C) modify the surgical plan, depending on the proximity of the eloquent cortex or potential extent of resection. Using Fisher’s exact test and the chi-square test, the 3 groups were compared in relation to epilepsy surgery outcomes and complication rate. Next, multivariate models were constructed to identify variables associated with each of the groups and with epilepsy surgery outcomes.RESULTSPatients in group C achieved significantly lower rates of seizure freedom compared to groups A (OR 30.3, p < 0.001) and B (OR 35.2, p < 0.001); groups A and B did not significantly differ (p = 0.78). Patients in whom the surgical plan was modified suffered from more frequent complications (B vs A+C, OR 3.8, p = 0.01), but these were mostly minor (duration < 3 months; B vs A+C, p = 0.008). In all cases, tissue samples from extended resections were positive for the presence of the original pathology. Patients with intended modification of the surgical plan (groups B+C) suffered more often from daily seizures, had a higher age at first seizure, had intellectual disability, and were regarded as MR-negative (p < 0.001). Unfavorable surgical outcome (Engel class II–IV) was associated with focal cortical dysplasia, incomplete resection based on MRI and/or ECoG findings, negative MRI finding, and inability to modify the surgical plan when indicated.CONCLUSIONSIntraoperative ECoG serves as a reliable tool to guide resection and may inform the prognosis for seizure freedom in pediatric patients undergoing epilepsy surgery. ECoG-based modification of the surgical plan is associated with a higher rate of minor complications. Children in whom ECoG-based modification of the surgical plan is indicated but not feasible achieve significantly worse surgical outcomes.

OBJECTIVEThe National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) and National Readmissions Database (NRD) are two widely used databases for research studies. However, they may not provide generalizable information in regard to individual institutions. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate 30-day readmissions following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and posterior lumbar fusion (PLF) procedures by using these two national databases and an institutional cohort.METHODSThe NSQIP and NRD were queried for patients undergoing elective ACDF and PLF, with the addition of an institutional cohort. The outcome of interest was 30-day readmissions following ACDF and PLF, which were unplanned and related to the index procedure. Subsequently, univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted to determine the predictors of 30-day readmissions by using both databases and the institutional cohort.RESULTSAmong all identified risk factors, only hypertension was found to be a common risk factor between NRD and the institutional cohort following ACDF. NSQIP and the institutional cohort both showed length of hospital stay to be a significant predictor for 30-day related readmission following PLF. There were no overlapping variables among all 3 cohorts for either ACDF or PLF. Additionally, the national databases identified a greater number of risk factors for 30-day related readmissions than did the institutional cohort for both procedures.CONCLUSIONSOverall, significant differences were seen among all 3 cohorts with regard to top predictors of 30-day unplanned readmissions following ACDF and PLF. The higher quantity of significant predictors found in the national databases may suggest that looking at single-institution series for such analyses may result in underestimation of important variables affecting patient outcomes, and that big data may be helpful in addressing this concern.

Published: July 2020

Four species of pusley (Richardia L.) are widespread and common weeds in Florida vegetable and strawberry production. We refer to the native plant Richardia scabra L. as Florida pusley. This discrimination is necessary because these species are often referred to collectively as Florida pusley due to overlapping distributions, similar growth habits and leaf morphologies, and difficulty identifying without the presence of fruit. This new 6-page publication of the UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences Department describes the different pusley species and provides management options for strawberry, pepper, cucurbits, and tomato.

Aim. To assess significance of serum fibronectin (FN) and new approaches of processing computed tomography (CT) results for pancreatic cancer (PC) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) differential diagnosis.
Materials and methods. Data of 49 patients with pancreatic lesions who underwent multislice computed tomography (MSCT) with intravenous contrast enhancement and FN evaluation in 2018 were analyzed. There were 29 (59.2%) males and 20 (40.8%) females, mean age 51.9±13.9 (30–82). All patients were divided in 3 groups: 1 — PC (17 patients, 34.6%) — morphologically verified, 2 — chronic pancreatitis with previous pancreonecrosis (CPPN) — 16 patients, 32.7%, 3 — chronic calcifying pancreatitis (CCP) — 16 patients, 32.7%. We calculated median of enhancement gradient between region of interest and intact parenchyma (Мgrad) based on MSCT results. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (rp) was calculated for correlation assessment.
Results. We assessed mean Мgrad and mean serum FN rate in all three groups: PC — 28.1±2.6, р=0.0001, CPPN — 14.9±2.4, р=0.07, CCP — 13.3±0.7, р=0.08 for Мgrad, and 239.8±30.1, p=0.8, 243.5±33.8, p=0.7, 227.2±34.3, p=0.8 for serum FN rate, respectively. There was statistically significant strong correlation of Мgrad in patients with PC (rp=0.63, p=0.0001). We revealed cut-off point of Мgrad value for PC that was 20 (p=0.001). There were no statistically significant correlations of serum FN rate in all groups (PC rp=0.04, p=0.8; CPPN rp=0.06, p=0.7; CCP rp=-0.03, p=0.8).
Conclusions. Mgrad evaluation based on MSCT is an informative marker for differential diagnosis between PC and chronic pancreatitis, high rates of Мgrad positively correlate with PC existence. There was no correlation between serum FN rate and existence of PC, CPPN or CCP.
Risk assessment of pathological conditions caused by circulating H. pylori strains
Authors: Karimova D. K. , Sobirova G. N. , Karimov M. M. 
Published: July 2020

In recent years, there has been an increase in the prevalence of inflammatory and destructive diseases of the gastroduodenal zone, which is primarily explained by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. One of the main factors of H. pylori pathogenicity is presence of cytotoxin-associated gene — CagA. It is known that CagA-positive H. pylori strains are associated with the development of atrophy, tumor invasion and rapid metastasis. A number of recently published studies have revealed that CagA is a polymorphic gene which contains a different number of repetitive sequences located in the 3’ region. Each repetitive region of CagA contains Glu-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Ala (EPIYA) profiles including tyrosine phosphorylation. Depending on the sequence of the EPIYA profile, there are 4 segments: EPIYA-A, EPIYA-B, EPIYA-C, EPIYA-D, each containing a repetitive region. Geographical features of the prevalence of H. pylori strains depending on the sequence of EPIYA have been revealed: EPIYA-A region of the western isolates of this bacterium is associated with EPIYA-A, EPIYA-B, EPIYA-C segments, while the eastern CagA-positive H. pylori isolates are characterized by the A-B-D type of the CagA gene. Data illustrating the strong correlation between the western CagA-positive H. pylori strains, which have a repeating EPIYA-C segment, and the development of precancerous states, as well as gastric cancer, are presented. H. pylori strains containing simultaneously A-B motives of EPIYA or one C-type of the CagA gene are associated with a 7-fold increase of risk of gastric cancer compared to CagA-negative strains; presence of two or more EPIYA-C motives is associated with a 30-fold increase of this risk.
