Authors: Fedorchenko Daria , Didkovsky Vyacheslav 
Published: October 2020

Background: The main purpose of study was to assess the impact of using mobile phones among young Ukrainians (age 17-25) on auditory system. We conducted a study using anonymous questionnaires and with using a method of objective audiometry (otoacoustic emission). Finally, we compared our results with results of studies which were conducted in Sweden and Finland. Those studies were first among all the others with assessment of association between amount of mobile phone use and frequency of headache, tinnitus or hearing loss at 4-year follow-up. Methods: The participants were chosen among volunteers (n=251). All of them received anonymous questionnaires. We made stratified sample by age, sex, type of phone used, duration of phone calls, using of headphones during calls, symptoms appearing after using cell phone (headache, tinnitus, hearing loss). Results: The age of respondents was 17-25 years (32,3% - 22 years, 13,1% - 19 years, 12,4% - 20 years, 10,8% - 23 years., 8,4% - 21 years., 8% - 18 years, 7,6% - 17 years, 2,8% - 24р., 2,8% - 25 years). Due to this data the median age of participants was 22 years. Sex: female – 74.3%, male – 25.7%. Most of participants were using mobile phones (99.2%). 51.8% of respondents were always using headphones during phone calls, 8.8% - never used headphones during phone calls, 39,4% - were rarely using headphones during phone calls. We assess the association between mobile phone use and appearing symptoms after phone calls. 3.6% of respondents reported a headache after phone calls, 96.4% were free of this symptom after phone calls. 58.2% reported headache at least once a week, 41.8% - were free of this symptom. 42.2% of respondents reported tinnitus: 1.6% reported tinnitus every day, 4.8% once in 2-3 days, 35.9% reported this symptom rarely (less than once a week). 57.8% of respondents were free of tinnitus. 21.5% of respondents reported hearing loss, 78.5% were free of hearing loss. Most of respondents associate headache with fatigue, sleep deprivation, stress, weather change, sleep disorders, arterial hypertension, hunger, frequent phone calls. Respondents who complained of hearing loss were offered to pass objective audiometry (optoacoustic emission).6 respondents took part in this examination. In 85 ears of respondents (71%) who complained of hearing loss it occurs on 8000 Hz. In 95 ears of respondents (79%) who complained of hearing loss it occurs on 5714 Hz. Pearson correlation coefficient between our results and results of Northern Europe studies was 0.935, suggesting a strong linear association.

Published: October 2020

The potential application of granules of Granular brick waste as a low-cost sorbent for removal of Pb+2 ions from aqueous solutions has been studied. The properties of Granular brick waste were determined through several tests such as X-Ray diffraction , Energy dispersive X-ray, Scanning electron microscopy , and surface area. In batch tests, the influence of several operating parameters including contact time, initial concentration, agitation speed, and the dose of GBW was investigated. The best values of these parameters that provided maximum removal efficiency of lead (89.5 %) were 2.5 hr, 50 mg/L, 250 rpm, and 1.8 g/100mL, respectively. The sorption data obtained by batch experiments subjected to the three isotherm models called Langmuir, Freundlich and Elovich. The results showed that the Langmuir isotherm model described well the sorption data (R2= 0.9866) in comparison with other models. The kinetic data were analyzed using two kinetic models called pseudo_first_order and pseudo_second_order. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was found to agree well with the experimental data.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Autoimmune disease has got tendency to co-exist with another autoimmune disease. SLE and hypothyroidism are common autoimmune diseases. They may be associated with each other. Objectives: To find the association of SLE and Autoimmune Hypothyroidism.
Materials and Methods: This prospective case control study was conducted in the department of Rheumatology, CMH Dhaka from January 2017 to June 2019. Total 100 cases of SLE (Group A) were included in the study to see the presence of co-existing autoimmune hypothyroidism. Another 100 age and sex matched healthy controls without SLE (Group B) were screened for hypothyroidism. Verbal consent was taken and ethical issue was addressed. Data were collected in a pre-planned and pre-designed form after face to face interview, clinical history, physical examination and relevant laboratory investigations and plotted in tables and charts. Data were analyzed in computer SPSS Version 16. Chi-square test was done to see the level of significance.
Results: Total 100 SLE patients were enrolled in this study (Group A). Age range was from 14-65. Amongst them 96 were females and only 4 were males. Majority of them belonged to 20-30 and 31-40 years age group and frequency were 40 (40%) and 35 (35%) respectively. Out of 100 SLE cases 8 patients had coexisting autoimmune hypothyroidism, 6 patients had subclinical hypothyroidism and another 4 had thyroid autoantibody with biochemically euthyroid state. Amongst the control group only 1 had hypothyroidism, 2 had subclinical hypothyroidism and 1 had thyroid autoantibody with biochemically euthyroid state. The differences in two groups were statistically significant.
Conclusion: There is a strong positive association between SLE and autoimmune hypothyroidism. There are also overlapping clinical manifestations in these conditions. Therefore, thyroid screening test may be done in every case of SLE for early detection of autoimmune hypothyroidism to effectively manage both diseases.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer. It occurs most often in people with chronic liver diseases, such as cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection. It is the fifth most common liver cancer globally and also a common cancer in Bangladesh. Treatment is difficult; however newer oral drug Sorafenib is available in our country which is promising.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of TKI Sorafenib on advanced and non-resect able primary HCC in Bangladeshi patients.
Materials and Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 38 diagnosed patients of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (stage-3 and Child-Pugh Class-C) over a period of 3 years from May 2014 to July 2017 in the department of Oncology, CMH Dhaka. The patients receive Sorafenib 200-400 mg twice daily till disease progression ceases or increases and there are no unacceptable toxicities. Efficacy was observed in terms of overall survival, progressive free survival (PFS), drug compliance and common toxicities.
Results: In 24 months of follow –up period from the date of Sorafenib taken, median overall survival was 7.73 months. The median overall survival was 8 months (range 8.13-27.43 months) in 42.4% patients. The median PFS is 3.5 months (range 1.2-5.8 months). Common toxicities found were anorexia, weakness, yellow colouration of skin and mucosa, HTN, rash and diarrhoea.
Conclusion: In Sorafenib treated Bangladeshi advanced HCC patients, the median overall survival was found to be significant and compatible with some of the international publication.

Authors: Begum Nurun Nahar Fatema , Sarker Mukta 
Published: October 2020

Familial chylomicronemia syndrome is a group of very rare genetic disorders. It is inherited as autosomal recessive disorder. Its estimated incidence is 1 in 1000000 populations, characterized by deficient activity of an enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL) or apo-protein C-II, resulting into severe fasting hypertriglyceridemia and massive accumulations of chylomicrons in plasma. LPL deficiency typically presents in childhood with failure to thrive, colicky abdominal pain, eruptive xanthomas, lipemiaretinalis, pancreatitis and hepatomegaly. We are reporting a rare case of familial chylomicronemia in a 20 days old child who was presented with pneumonia, his plasma incidentally found like milk during routine collection of his blood sample. As the child was only 20 days old with very high triglyceride level, so breast feeding continued and cocktail therapy with low dose Tablet Fenofibrate, Tablet Niacin, Tablet Atovastatin started after referral to paediatric cardiologist at 3 months of age.

Published: October 2020

Trichloroethylene, and Benzene etc. in different landfill components such as landfill gas (LFG), leachate and waste due to emission from a selected waste disposal site at old Rajbandh, Khulna, Bangladesh. Level III Fugacity model was implemented on the selected evaluative environment and Monte Carlo simulation was used to account the variability and uncertainty of the model inputs as well as to observe its effect on the model outputs. It was found that Trichloroethylene had the highest concentration in waste compartment with a magnitude of 2.0E-02 mol/m3 and most of the mass (52%) was accumulated in waste compartment. It was found that m-Xylene was the highly persistent organic contaminant as it spends the highest amount of time in the modelled landfill environment. Reaction was the main removal mechanism for Trichloroethylene as about 79% of the total amount was removed by oxidation and hydrolysis reaction. It is essential to know the behaviour of potential harmful contaminants for assessing human health hazards from landfill site. The outcome of level III Fugacity model like mass, concentrations, etc. of organic contaminants generated from a selected landfill will further be helpful for evaluating health hazards from landfill site at Khulna.

Published: October 2020

En la comprensión del profundo significado y del papel que los bienes comunes juegan en nuestra sociedad, es prioritario reconocerlos como requisitos previos de la vida juntos. En Italia los pactos de colaboración son nuevos instrumentos que las autoridades locales y los ciudadanos pueden utilizar para el cuidado, la regeneración y la gestión compartida de los bienes comunes, materiales o de carácter intangible, como el patrimonio cultural. El pacto sanciona el reconocimiento del valor del lugar por parte de los habitantes, de su esencia transformadora y frágil, de la profunda interdependencia que los une. La misma interdependencia, latente, revelada al mundo entero por la llegada de una pandemia: porque el pacto es un proceso cultural, no sólo administrativo.
Impact of lowering the risk threshold for statin treatment on statin prescribing: a descriptive study in English primary care
Authors: Pate Alexander , Emsley Richard , van Staa Tjeerd 
Published: October 2020

BackgroundIn 2014, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) changed the recommended threshold for initiating statins from a 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) of 20% to 10% (Clinical Guideline 181), making 4.5 million extra people eligible for treatment.AimTo evaluate the impact of this guideline change on statin prescribing behaviour.Design and settingA descriptive study using data from Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), a primary care database in England.MethodPeople aged 25–84 years being initiated on statins for the primary prevention of CVD were identified. CVD risk predictions were calculated for every person using data in their medical record (calculated risks), and were extracted directly from their medical record if a QRISK score was recorded (coded risks). The 10-year CVD risks of people initiated on statins in each calendar year were compared.ResultsThe average ‘calculated risk’ of all people being initiated on statins was 20.65% in the year before the guideline change, and 20.27% after. When considering only the ‘coded risks’, the average risk was 21.85% before the guideline change, and 18.65% after. The proportion of people initiating statins that had a coded risk score in their medical record increased significantly from 2010–2017.ConclusionCurrently available evidence, which only considers people with coded risk scores in their medical record, indicates the guideline change had a large impact on statin prescribing. However, that analysis likely suffers from selection bias. This new evidence indicates only a modest impact of the guideline change. Further qualitative research about the lack of response to the guideline change is needed.
