Authors: Saranya Thalekkara Madhavan , Sasidharanpillai Sarita , Ajithkumar Kidangazhiathmana 
Published: October 2020

Objectives:
The objectives are as follows: (1) To document the clinical profile and demography of patients attending a tertiary referral institution with chronic folliculitis of leg and (2) to document the bacteriological profile of pustular lesions of chronic folliculitis.

Materials and Methods:
After obtaining clearance from institutional research and ethics committees, consecutive patients who attended our tertiary care center with clinically diagnosed chronic folliculitis of the leg from December 1, 2016, to November 30, 2017, were included in this cross-sectional study. The data regarding patient characteristics and clinical profile of disease were collected using a preset pro forma. Pus culture and sensitivity study was carried out in all patients who had pustules at presentation. The association between duration of disease and extent of disease and duration of disease and clinical grading was evaluated by Pearson’s Chi-square analysis.

Results:
The study population comprised 39 (78%) males and 11 (22%) females with male to female ratio of 3.5:1. Study participants ranged in age from 16 to 67 years. In 15/24 (62.5%) patients who manifested pustules, pus culture isolated pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, sensitive to cloxacillin in 14 (58.3%) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus in one (4.2%).

Limitations:
A study conducted in a tertiary referral center not reflecting the disease profile in the community was the major limitation.

Conclusion:
Staphylococcus aureus sensitive to common antibiotics like cloxacillin being the most common pathogen isolated from pustular lesions signifies the need for more prospective studies with a large sample size to evaluate the role of environmental factors and individual’s immune system in maintaining the inflammation in chronic folliculitis of the leg.
Reconstruction of Shattered Lumbo-Sacral Junction/Pelvis Utilizing Bilateral L4-Sacrum Fibula Strut Allograft And Double Iliac Screws Plus Routine Lumbar Pedicle Screw Fixation
Authors: Agulnick Marc , Cohen Benjamin R. , Epstein Nancy E. 
Published: October 2020

Background:
A traumatically shattered lumbosacral junction/pelvis may be difficult to repair. Here the authors offer a pelvic fixation technique utilizing routine pedicle screws, interbody lumbar fusions, bilateral iliac screws/ rods/crosslinks, and bilateral fibular strut allografts from the lumbar spine to the sacrum.

Methods:
A middle aged male sustained a multiple storey fall resulting in a left sacral fracture, and right sacroiliac joint (SI) dislocation. The patient had previously undergone attempted decompressions with routine pedicle screw L4-S1 fusions at outside institutions; these failed twice. When the patient was finally seen, he exhibited, on CT reconstructed images, MR, and X-rays, a left sacral fracture nonunion, and a right sacroiliac joint dislocation.

Results:
The patient underwent a bilateral pelvic reconstruction utilizing right L4, L5, S1 and left L4, L5 pedicle screws plus interbody fusions (L4-L5, and L5, S1), performed from the left. Unique to this fusion construct was the placement of bilateral double iliac screws plus the application of bilateral fibula allografts from L4-sacrum filled with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). After rod/screw/connectors were applied, bone graft was placed over the fusion construct, including the decorticated edges of the left sacral fractures, and right SI joint dislocation. We additionally reviewed other pelvic fusion reconstruction methods.

Conclusions:
Here, we utilized a unique pelvic reconstruction technique utilizing pedicle screws/rods, double iliac screws/rods, and bilateral fibula strut grafts extending from the L4-sacrum filled with BMP.

Published: October 2020

Background:
Lumbar disc herniation is often associated with an inflammatory process. In this context, inflammation has been considered a key factor in the modulation of pain. Here, we present a case of inflammatory activity directly documented in a patient with a lumbar disc herniation.

Case Description:
A 49-year-old male presented with progressive low back pain and left-sided S1 radiculopathy, without a focal neurological deficit. The lumbar MR revealed a prominent herniated disc at the L5-S1 level, with compression of the left S1 root. The patient underwent a L5-S1 discectomy using a standard interlaminar approach. Although initially he was pain free, he required three additional operations to address recurrent pain complaints. As research indicates that local inflammation contributes to neuropathic pain, we had the patient undergoes single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging using technetium-99m-labeled-infliximab (an anti-tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-alpha monoclonal antibody) before a proposed fourth operation. The SPECT study documented a strong signal at the site of the herniated disc, thus confirming the diagnosis of a pro-inflammatory process involving the S1 nerve root. Nine months after the fourth operation, the patient was pain free. Of interest, the second SPECT study in the now asymptomatic patient demonstrated no detectable/ residual signal at the operative/disc site.

Conclusion:
Absence of a SPECT TNF-alpha signal in a pain-free patient following a lumbar discectomy correlates with the reduction/resolution of the local preoperative inflammatory response.

Stress is one of the main factors affecting one's efficiency as well as staff health and quality of nursing services. Neonatal units can be stressful environments for nurses, infants and families as well. Since there is no evidence in this regard in Egypt. Aim of the study: to determine the relationship between stress and self-efficacy among staff nurses in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in Port Said. Method: This was a descriptive correlation study including thirty three nurses working in NICUs of hospitals in Port Said. The data collection tools were a self-efficacy and stress scales. Results: It reveals that, there were statistically significant correlations between staff nurses self-efficacy and their stress toward financial environment. Also there were negative correlation between stress psychological domain, physical environment and services, work relationship with nurses as well as physicians and self-efficacy assessment. Also reveals that, there were no statistical significant relations between workplace stressors, staff nurses self-efficacy and their socio-demographic characteristics. But there are statistically significant relation was found between staff nurses self-efficacy and their duration of nursing experience. The findings of the present study show that increasing stress in the aspects of psychological, physical environment and services domain, in addition to, social environment with nurses and physicians among nurses would lead to decrease self-efficacy. Also the present study reveals that there were statistically significant correlations between staff nurses self-efficacy and their stress toward financial environment. So, staff nurses should attend continuing educational programs on staff nurses' quality outcomes such as enhancing staff nurses' self-efficacy and strategies coping to reduce stress.

Published: October 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen a dramatic rise in anti-Asian sentiment in the United States. The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) in New York has been trying to document the experiences of Chinese Americans as they navigate through this tumultuous time. While the collecting effort started out strong, they began to falter when an unforeseen event caused the social priorities of the country to shift dramatically. This shift has also cause cultural institutions like MOCA to rethink their responsibilities in the face of social change and how they can use their platform as thought leaders.
Aging Experience and the Results of the West for Asia-A Sociological Perspective
Authors: Sheykhi Mohammad Taghi 
Published: October 2020

The present paper analyzes different demographic variables to reach the result of how population become aged in different parts of Asia. Policies and planning of population during the past decades have contributed to more life expectancy, leading to the aging of population in countries like Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and to some extent Iran. Population in some countries aging without needs gradually emerging, being met. People usually at the age of seventy and over lose their normal strengths and potentialities. Many of their capabilities are lost. They gradually become dependent on other younger age groups. Western countries usually have made better policies and plans earlier, and because of that, their aging people have better immunity as far as their health, social and economic conditions are concerned. Many aging people in Asian countries are concerned about their needs during the age of 70 and over. Decline in birth rate is the most important factor positively affecting the aging of population after a few decades has passed. The same happened to Japan, China, South Korea etc. Many Western countries started narrowing their birth rates in the nineteenth century, whereas Asian countries started that since around 1950. Earlier, women used to give birth to 7-8 children, in which half or more of them died in infancy, and the rest who survived, had to face malnutrition, shortage of education, child-labor from the age of 7-8, maternal fatality of mothers and many more unfavorable conditions that affected their lives. While the average age of marriage is between 26-29 in the West, it is usually the age of 20 or below within many developing countries.

Salah satu ciri Hak Tanggungan yang kuat adalah mudah dan pasti dalam pelaksanaan eksekusinya, jika debitur cidera janji. Hal tersebut diwujudkan dengan disediakannya cara-cara pelaksanaan eksekusi yang lebih mudah daripada melalui gugatan seperti perkara perdata biasa. Namun dalam prakteknya banyak terdapat hambatan-hambatan dalam pelaksanaan dari hak eksekutorial yang terdapat pada Hak Tanggungan. Dengan adanya bantahan tersebut maka pihak kreditur yang piutangnya telah dijamin dengan Hak Tanggungan, tertunda dalam melaksanakan hak sesuai peraturan tentang Hak Tanggungan yaitu hak eksekutorial. Dalam penelitian ini akan dibahas tentang kekuatan eksekutorial dari sertipikat Hak Tanggungan dalam pemenuhan hak-hak para pihak yang terikat dalam jaminan dengan Hak Tanggungan serta prosedur dan kekuatan eksekutorial dari sertipikat Hak Tanggungan dalam pemenuhan hak-hak para pihak sudah terpenuhi dalam proses Eksekusi Hak Tanggungan.Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif analitis dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif, data diperoleh, melalui penelitian kepustakaan dan penelitian lapangan sebagai penguat. Selanjutnya data dianalisis secara kualitatif.Dari hasil penelitian ini disimpulkan, Undang-Undang Hak Tanggungan telah memberikan kekuatan eksekutorial yang besar kepada sertifikat Hak Tanggungan, yaitu dengan dicantumkannya irah-irah yang berbunyi “Demi Keadilan Berdasarkan Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa”, sehingga kedudukan dari sertifikat Hak Tanggungan sama dengan Putusan Pengadilan yang telah memperoleh kekuatan hukum tetap.Adapun cara untuk melaksanakan kekuatan eksekutorial yang dimiliki oleh sertifikat Hak Tanggungan dilakukan melalui dua cara yaitu eksekusi langsung yang didasarkan pada ketentuan Pasal 6 Undang-Undang Hak Tanggungan dan eksekusi melalui titel eksekutorial yang diatur dalam pasal 20 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Hak Tanggungan dan kekuatan eksekutorial yang dimiliki oleh Hak Tanggungan telah dijalankan sesuai dengan aturan eksekusi Hak Tanggungan yang diatur dalam Undang- Undang Hak Tanggungan.
