Published: September 2021

Aim: To evaluate the clinical manifestations, histopathologic composition, and demographic characteristics of the lymphomas presented in the head and neck.
Materials and Methods: Records of subjects who had a diagnosis of lymphoma by an otolaryngology clinic in a tertiary referral hospital between May 2007 and July 2017 were reviewed. Demographic features and data regarding histopathology, radiology, and clinical presentation were evaluated.
Results: A total of 103 lymphomas in the head and neck region, 79 (77%) nodal lymphoma, and 24 (23%) extranodal lymphoma, were diagnosed. The initial presentation was solitary lymphadenopathy in 12 (15%) of the nodal lymphomas but conglomerated or multiple lymphadenopathies in the others. No significant relationship was found between lymph node size and histopathology (p=0.144).
Extranodal lymphomas presented most commonly in tonsils (n=8, 33%). Hodgkin lymphoma to non-Hodgkin lymphoma ratio was 0.8 (35/44) among nodal lymphomas. The dominant subgroup of non-Hodgkin lymphomas was diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (n=18, 40%). All of the Hodgkin lymphomas in our series were classic variant, and the subjects were younger than the non-Hodgkin lymphomas (z=-4.803, p

Published: September 2021

Introduction : Cervical discogenic pain, which is characterized by a stiffness or pain in neck movement, generally occurs as a result of disc degeneration. On the other hand; vascular pathologies of the cervical region, especially vertebrobasilar insufficiency, may give rise to similar findings in patients; it can also be detected simultaneously with cervical disc pathologies. . In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether the circulatory properties of the vertebral arteries have an effect on the neck pain and functional status of the patients.
Material and Method: Based on the participants’ medical history, physical examination and radiological examination, sixty five patients were diagnosed with cervical disc herniation. Twenty patients who met the inclusion criteria were completed the study. Vertebral artery and carotid artery doppler ultrasonography was performed in these patients, thus any stenosis or insufficiency in vascular systems of the neck was evaluated. Additionally; vertebral blood flow rate (ml / min),vessel diameter(mm), minimum blood flow velocity (Vmin) and maximum blood flow velocity (Vmax) parameters was measured by doppler ultrasonography. The obtained findings compared with patients' level of pain measured with the "VAS (Visual Analog Scale)" and the level of daily life activities measured by the "Neck Disability Index ".
Results: It was detected a statistically significant negative correlation between the VAS score and right vertebral artery diameter (p=0.019, r=-0.518). A significant reverse correlation between the VAS score and right vertebral arterial blood flow rate (p=0.011, r=-0.556) was also observed. No correlation was found between other vertebral artery parameters and VAS score or Neck Disability Index (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed that there is a correlation between the vertebral artery flow rate and pain level. Clinicians must take into consideration vertebral pathologies in patients with neck pain because of this vital condition may accompany with various musculoskeletal pathologies such as cervical disc herniation.

Authors: GÜNAY Mahmut , EKEN Gökay 
Published: September 2021

Objective: Shoulder pain and disability are mostly seen following rotator cuff rupture. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair becomes a gold standard treatment for rotator cuff rupture when conservative treatment fails. Comparing functional results, retear rates and reoperation rates of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in terms of single-row versus double row techniques is our aim in this study.
Material and Method: Overall, 174 arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery patients were specified into 2 groups. Group 1 consists of 81 patients underwent single-row repair and group 2 consists of 93 patients consisted of transosseos equivalent technique double row. We evaluated demographic data and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, Constant Murley, Visual analogue scale and 36-item Short Form subscale scores.
Results: Mean follow-up time was 14.08±4.77 months. ASES, CM and VAS following ARCR were similar between two groups. Some of SF-36 subscale score improvements after operation are significantly better in group 2; role limitations due to physical health (p = 0.041), energy/fatigue (p = 0.026), emotional well-being (p = 0.017), pain (p = 0.010), general health (p = 0.037). Re-rupture rates were significantly different. In group 1 re-rupture rate was 13.6% and for group 2 it was 1.1% (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Lower re-rupture rates, and improved quality of life outcomes at short-term follow-up can be obtained by arthroscopic double-row repair. We suggest that the double-row technique can be considered for patients who have medium to large rotator cuff tears for lower re-rupture rates and some quality of life outcomes.

Abstract

Exiguobacterium aurantiacum is isolated from a variety of environmental samples but rarely from patients. The aim of the study was to represent isolation of unusual bacterial strains that could cause infection in patients. Final identification was performed using matrix-assisted description/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF). Two isolates strains of E. aurantiacum were isolated, one isolate from distilled water used during surgical treatment and the second one from a patient with bacteremia after radical prostatectomy, both sensitive to all tested antimicrobials. Environmental strains could cause infection, especially in immunocompromised patients; therefore, rare bacteria testing is required, in which identification special assistance is provided by an automated system MALDI-TOF.

Published: September 2021

AbstractDespite being highly preventable, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer and cause of cancer death in women globally. In low‐income countries, cervical cancer is often the leading cause of cancer‐related morbidity and mortality. Women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are at a particularly high risk of cervical cancer because of an impaired immune response to human papillomavirus, the obligate cause of virtually all cervical cancers. Globally, approximately 1 in 20 cervical cancers is attributable to HIV; in sub‐Saharan Africa, approximately 1 in 5 cervical cancers is due to HIV. Here, the authors provide a critical appraisal of the evidence to date on the impact of HIV disease on cervical cancer risk, describe key methodologic issues, and frame the key outstanding research questions, especially as they apply to ongoing global efforts for prevention and control of cervical cancer. Expanded efforts to integrate HIV care with cervical cancer prevention and control, and vice versa, could assist the global effort to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem.

The aim of the research is to investigate EFL Students’ Pronunciation Problems in Presenting Thesis Proposal at Tertiary Level of English Department. This qualitative study reported in this article focused on segmental features problems. The instruments used to collect the data needed in this study were the researcher, recording, and Dictionary. The data analysis covered consonant and vowel pronunciation problems. was based on the theories of phonetics proposed by George Yule and Jacobs, which embraces voicing, manner of articulation and place of articulation for English consonant production and the tongue part and position, sound length, and mouth forming for English vowel production. The result of the study shows that the research subject encountered a number of segmental pronunciation problems consisting of consonants and vowels including pure vowels and diphthongs. Furthermore, this research revealed that the problem with consonant sounds were the substitution of the sounds [v], [ð], [θ], [t∫], [ʒ], [ʃ] [z] and the deletion of the sounds [k], [ɡ], [t], and [s]. The problem with pure vowel sounds were the substitution of the sound [ɪ], [iː], [ɛ], [ʊ], [ʌ], [ɜː], [ɒ], [ɔː] and [ə] and the insertion of the sound [ə] between two consonant sounds. The problem with diphthongs were: the monophthongization of the sound [aɪ], [aʊ], [eɪ], [ɪə], [əʊ], and the replacement of the sounds [eɪ] and [ɪə] with other diphthongs. It is suggested for the next researchers to investigate pronunciation problems related to supra-segmental aspects and phonemic opposition. and factors driving pronunciation problems in the EFL Classroom setting.

Objective: An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in tumor progression. However, the role of hsa_circ_0000073 in osteosarcoma (OS) is still not fully elucidated.Methods: Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction or Western blot was used to detect the gene expression. GeneChip analysis, bioinformatics, luciferase reporter, and RNA immunoprecipitation assays were adopted to predict and verify the relationships between genes. Counting Kit-8 Assay, clone formation assay, wound-healing assay, transwell assays, cell cycle assays, and in vivo tumorigenesis were used to evaluate cell function.Results: hsa_circ_0000073 was highly expressed in OS cell lines and could promote OS progression, including proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle in vitro as well as tumorigenesis in vivo. Mechanically, hsa_circ_0000073 could readily downregulate the expression of CCNE2 and MDM2 through miR-1252-5p. Rescue experiments validated miR-1252-5p mimics, or CCNE2/MDM2 short hairpin RNA could reverse the hsa_circ_0000073 overexpressing-induced impairment of malignant tumor behavior.Conclusion: hsa_circ_0000073 functions as a tumor promoter in OS to increase malignant tumor behavior through sponging miR-1252-5p and regulating CCNE2 and MDM2 expression, which could be a novel target for OS therapy.

Published: September 2021

A new series of non-aqueous phthalocyanines having 3,4,5-trimethoxy phenyl group at peripheral positions in which the central cavity possessing Cu(II), Zn(II), and without metals has been synthesized, and its absorption, fluorescence (steady-state and excited state lifetimes), electrochemical, and third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were evaluated. Absorption studies data suggest that all three phthalocyanines obey Beer–Lambert’s law, and the redox properties indicate that both oxidation and reduction reactions are macrocyclic centered. The singlet quantum yields were measured in different solvents and were found to be in the range of 0.2–0.5 in the case of free-base, whereas it was in the range of 0.1–0.5 in zinc derivative, while the time-resolved fluorescence data revealed lifetimes of typically a few ns. The third-order NLO properties were investigated using the Z-scan technique with kilohertz (for retrieving true electronic nonlinearities) and megahertz repetition rate femtosecond pulses at 800 nm. Intensity-dependent Z-scan studies revealed robust NLO coefficients for solutions and thin films (two-photon absorption cross-sections of 9,300–57,000 GM) of these molecules suggesting a strong potential for optical switching, imaging, and optical limiting applications.

Published: September 2021

Contemporary Universiti Teknologi Malaysia 2020 Mean Sea Surface (UTM20 MSS) and Mean Dynamic Topography (UTM20 MDT) models around Malaysian seas are introduced in this study. These regional models are computed via scrutinizing along-track sea surface height (SSH) points and specific interpolation methods. A 1.5-min resolution of UTM20 MSS is established by integrating 27 years of along-track multi-mission satellite altimetry covering 1993–2019 and considering the 19-year moving average technique. The Exact Repeat Mission (ERM) collinear analysis, reduction of sea level variability of geodetic mission (GM) data, crossover adjustment, and data gridding are presented as part of the MSS computation. The UTM20 MDT is derived using a pointwise approach from the differences between UTM20 MSS and the local gravimetric geoid. UTM20 MSS and MDT reliability are validated with the latest Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Collecte Localisation Services (CLS) models along with coastal tide gauges. The findings presented that the UTM20, CLS15, and DTU18 MSS models exhibit good agreement. Besides, UTM20 MDT is also in good agreement with CLS18 and DTU15 MDT models with an accuracy of 5.1 and 5.5 cm, respectively. The results also indicate that UTM20 MDT statistically achieves better accuracy than global models compared to tide gauges. Meanwhile, the UTM20 MSS accuracy is within 7.5 cm. These outcomes prove that UTM20 MSS and MDT models yield significant improvement compared to the previous regional models developed by UTM, denoted as MSS1 and MSS2 in this study.
