Urinary Tract Aspergillosis in a Patient With Diabetes Who Underwent Total Abdominal Hysterectomy
Authors: Sharmin Farzana 
Published: August 2020

Urinary tract aspergillosis is uncommon even in the era of increased frequency of invasivemycoses. Experience is largely from isolated case reports and few case series or reviews.The majority of cases involve transplant recipients predominantly following renaltransplantation but is also reported in other immunocompromised states such as AIDS anduncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Most cases represent haematogenous spread to renalparenchyma, often in the absence of recognized focus of infection, presenting as small orlarge abscesses, infarcts, renal insufficiency or urinary drainage system fungal balls withobstructive uropathy. Diagnosis is usually made on the basis of renal tissue aspiration, urinecultures or by histopathology of the suspicious mass passed through urinary tract. Theeffective management of invasive aspergillosis includes strategies to optimize preventionand early antifungal treatment, immunomodulation, and, in some cases, surgery. Neweranti-Aspergillus drugs notably voriconazole offer less toxic therapeutic options and are quitesuccessful in combination with drainage measures to relieve urinary stasis. This reportdescribes a case of primary urinary tract aspergillosis with fungal bezoars formation in a 37years old female, diabetic, hypertensive, who presented with intermittent urinary tractobstruction and was successfully managed by oral voriconazole for six weeks as itraconazolewas found refractory.

Prophylactic use of Tranexamic Acid during Caesarean Section in Preventing Postpartum haemorrhage– a Prospective Randomised Double Blind Placebo Controlled Study
Authors: Nargis Nazlima , Dewan Farhana 
Published: August 2020

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a major cause of maternal mortality,accounting for one-quarter of all maternal deaths worldwide. Tranexamic acid (TXA), anantifibrinolytic agent, has therefore been investigated as a potentially useful complement toprevention and treatment of PPH. It has been proved to reduce blood loss in elective surgery,bleeding in trauma patients, and menstrual blood loss.
Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of TXA in reducing blood loss given just immediatelyafter delivery of baby in women undergoing cesarean section.
Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled studyconducted in the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics unit of IBN SINA Medical CollegeDhaka, Bangladesh from June 2016 to May 2017. Participants were randomly assigned toTXA group or group A (n=60) and placebo group or group B (n=60). Randomization wasdone by residents using computer generated random numbers. Group A received 1 gram(10ml) of intravenous bolus dose of TXA just after delivery of the baby, Group B received 10ml of sterile distilled water for injection intravenously at the same time. Statistical analysishas been done by SPSS.
Results: The subjective characteristics in the two groups were similar with respect to theirage, BMI, gestational age and gravidity. The duration of surgery was 40-50 minutes. Therewas no statistically significant difference in the heart rates (p>0.05) and blood pressuresbetween the two groups, after 2 hours of delivery. Blood losses from both placental deliveriesto the end of cesarean section and from end of CS to 2 hours postpartum were significantlylower in the study group (p<0.05). Change in hemoglobin concentration in study group wasalso significantly less than in the control group. Total amount of oxytocin required wassignificantly less in TXA group (p<0.05) also the number of women requiring other oxytocics(inj. Methyl ergometrine, inj carboprost and tab misoprostol per rectally) was significantlyless in TXA group (p< 0.05). The amount of intra-operative fluid required were significantlyless in TXA group (p<0.005); however post – operative fluid requirement and minor sideeffects in the form of nausea and vomiting were similar in both the groups.
Conclusion: Tranexamic acid can effectively reduce blood loss in patients undergoing LSCSand its use was not associated with any side effects and or complications like thrombosis.The adoption of WHO guidelines for using uterotonic agents and prophylactically administeringTXA may significantly reduce the number of PPH incidents.

Authors: Ishrat Shakeela , Deeba Farzana , Fatima Parveen 
Published: August 2020

Background: Endometriosis is frequently associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, inaddition to dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia and infertility. Gastrointestinal tract is not alwaysinvolved when gastrointestinal symptoms are present.
Method: A cross sectional study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics &Gynaecology of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) on 55 infertile womenwith surgical diagnosis of endometriosis with the objective to determine the frequency ofgastrointestinal symptoms in our population of women with endometriosis and to find outwhether they were relevant to severity of endometriosis.
Results: There was a high prevalence (37.5%) of gastrointestinal symptoms in women withendometriosis. Bloating was the most frequent gastrointestinal symptom. Among the womenwith severe stage IV endometriosis, 57.6% had gastrointestinal symptoms.
Conclusion: A gynecologist must consider the gastrointestinal symptoms while dealing withthe women with endometriosis. Further evaluation of gastrointestinal tract involvement isnecessary for counseling and comprehensive management of the women with endometriosis.

Published: August 2020

Blood loss due to postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) and its complications constitute one ofthe major causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. Active management of third stage oflabour (AMTSL) plays an immense role in preventing maternal death due PPH. But till dateobstetricians all over the world and the concerned international bodies could not reach to asingle agreement about its universal use. This approach is practiced widely in many centresand there are some specific guidelines regarding its practical use. AMTSL as a prophylacticintervention and is composed of a package of three components or steps: 1) administrationof a uterotonic, preferably oxytocin, immediately after birth of the baby; 2) controlled cordtraction (CCT) to deliver the placenta; and 3) massage of the uterine fundus after the placentais delivered. In 2012, the results of a large WHO-directed, multi-centred clinical trial showedthat the most important AMTSL component was the administration of an uterotonic, theother two steps contributes relatively less in blood loss. But WHO recommends to continueall three steps of AMTSL for management and training of third stage of labour. This article isa brief review of the recent guidelines and evidence based practice of active management ofthe third stage of labour.

Published: August 2020

Los principios del diseño inherentemente seguro imponen la consideración del riesgo desde etapas tempranas del diseño. La consideración del mismo generalmente es realizada en las últimas etapas, independientemente de la optimización de layout, aun cuando existe una estrecha relación entre ambas. En este trabajo se aborda dicha problemática, proponiéndose modelos de programación mixta entera lineal (MILP) con el objetivo de optimizar la distribución del layout general de planta y una posible estrategia para vincular la síntesis de la playa de almacenamiento de sustancias combustibles.
Se utiliza una estrategia jerárquica y secuencial para la contemplación de un elevado número de unidades de proceso considerando las limitaciones actuales de los métodos determinísticos para tal fin.
Se aplica el procedimiento a un caso de estudio particular, la optimización del layout de una planta de biodiesel incluyendo la optimización rigurosa de la playa de tanques de metanol.

The Board of National Accreditation Body for Higher Education) evaluates the performance of a study program. This compels it to improve and maintain its performance. The process of accreditation involves several steps, one of which is the completion of accreditation documents by the study program. The completion requires data from various sources, both from the study program and the institution. However, the data required are often not recorded properly and kept by different sources. As a result, it takes longer time to complete the arrangement. Moreover, inconsistent data format becomes another factor which holds back this process. The application of fuzzy inference system, as used by Kesatuan Business and Informatics Institute, as in the above case can result in a better scoring in which each component is assessed and it will yield the prediction of the expected accreditation status before it is submitted to BAN-PT. This research aims to develop a web based accreditation system with fuzzy inference system and construct a prediction of score ad accreditation status in IBI Kesatuan, using 4 variables of input assessment criteria, namely: external condition, institutional profile, criteria and analysis, and development program decision. The resulting output is the status of non- accredited, good accredited, excellent accredited, and superior accredited. There are 4 phases in the methods: problem identification, needs and system analysis, system design, system implementation and testing system. The result of blackbox test show that 8 features can operate well. The features consist of criteria menu, indicator menu, date user, LKPS data, LED data, LKPS and LED assessment input, recapitulation and conclusion. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that accreditation system can be applied to predict the scores and accreditation status of information system study program of IBI Kesatuan.

Folds naturally appear on nanometrically thin (also called 2D) materials after exfoliation, eventually creating folded edges across the resulting flakes. In the present work, we investigate the adhesion and flexural properties of single and multilayered 2D materials upon folding. This is accomplished by measuring and modeling mechanical properties of folded edges, which allow the experimental determination of the scaling for the bending stiffness (κ) of a multilayered 2D material with its number of layers (n). In the case of talc, we obtain κ proportional to n3 for n ≥ 5, establishing that there is no interlayer sliding upon folding, at least in this thickness range. Such a result, if applicable to other materials, would imply that layers in folds might be either compressed (at the inner part of the fold) or stretched (at its outer part), leading to changes in their vibrational properties relative to a flat flake. This hypothesis was confirmed by near-field tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of a multilayer graphene fold.

Abstract
In 2014 the NGC 5548 Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping campaign discovered a two-month anomaly when variations in the absorption and emission lines decorrelated from continuum variations. During this time the soft X-ray part of the intrinsic spectrum had been strongly absorbed by a line-of-sight (LOS) obscurer, which was interpreted as the upper part of a disk wind. Our first paper showed that changes in the LOS obscurer produces the decorrelation between the absorption lines and the continuum. A second study showed that the base of the wind shields the broad emission-line region (BLR), leading to the emission-line decorrelation. In that study, we proposed the wind is normally transparent with no effect on the spectrum. Changes in the wind properties alter its shielding and affect the spectral energy distribution (SED) striking the BLR, producing the observed decorrelations. In this work we investigate the impact of a translucent wind on the emission lines. We simulate the obscuration using XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and Hubble Space Telescope observations to determine the physical characteristics of the wind. We find that a translucent wind can contribute a part of the He ii and Fe Kα emission. It has a modest optical depth to electron scattering, which explains the fainter far-side emission in the observed velocity-delay maps. The wind produces the very broad base seen in the UV emission lines and may also be present in the Fe Kα line. Our results highlight the importance of accounting for the effects of such winds in the analysis of the physics of the central engine.

Published: August 2020

Background As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic grows daily, we remain with no prophylactic and only minimal therapeutic interventions to prevent or ameliorate severe acute respiratory syndrome Corona-virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Prior to SARS-CoV-2 emergence, high throughput screens utilizing clinically developed drugs identified compounds with in vitro inhibitory effect on human coronaviruses that may have potential for repurposing as treatment options for COVID-19. However, caution should be applied to repurposing of these drugs when they are taken out of context of human pharmacokinetic parameters associated with normal therapeutic use. Methods Our aim was to provide a tier-based scoring system to interrogate this data set and match each drug with its human pharmacokinetic criteria, such as route of administration, therapeutic plasma levels and half-life, tissue distribution and safety. Results Our analysis excluded most previously identified drugs but identified members of four drug classes (anti-malarial amino-quinolones, selective estrogen receptor modulators [SERMs], low potency tricyclic antipsychotics and tricyclic antidepressants) as potential drug candidates for COVID-19. Two of them, the tricyclic antipsychotics and tricyclic antidepressants were further excluded based on a high adverse event profile. Conclusions In summary, our findings using a new pharmacokinetic-based scoring system supports efficacy testing of only a minority of candidates against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Teaching Basic Dysrhythmias: What Is the Best Approach?

Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT
Nurses' ability to accurately interpret cardiac dysrhythmias has resulted in decreased mortality. Four educational approaches to teaching dysrhythmia interpretation were evaluated. Major findings revealed learning was more effective when the lecture-discussion approach was used over a 5-week to 10-week period of time. Nurses also felt more comfortable with their ability to interpret dysrhythmias. These findings have several implications for continuing education departments regarding how and over what period of time this content should be taught.
