Published: February 2021

Cada día se recurre al aborto como forma de control de la natalidad, forma radical de evitar un nacimiento no deseado, por razones médicas o legales justificadas. El aborto provocado es un problema social, consecuencia generalmente de un embarazo no deseado. Sus causas son habitualmente psicosociales y las complicaciones son médicas. Con el objetivo de identificar los factores determinantes del aborto provocado en la adolescencia, se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal, en 135 adolescentes de un total de 210 entre 12 y 20 años, a las cuales se le practicó regulación menstrual en el Servicio de Ginecobstetricia del Policlínico Docente "Pablo Noriega" del Municipio Quivicán "La Habana " Cuba" desde el 1ro de Septiembre del año 2009 al 31 de Agosto del año 2010. En el presente estudio el 73.3% de las adolescentes han mantenido relaciones desprotegidas con más de 2 parejas, la mayoría carece de información sobre anticoncepción y embarazo en la adolescencia o posee información escasa, el 3.7% presentaron hemorragias como complicación de la interrupción y el 100% interrumpió el embarazo por no ser deseado. Se hace necesario incrementar la educación sexual en los adolescentes y la consiguiente disminución del embarazo no deseado que conlleva a un aborto.

The Balu River is a peripheral river of Dhaka Metropolis and like other rivers its water quality is also highly vulnerable towards pollution. In the present study, effects of water quality parameters on the phytoplankton biomass have been studied for six climatic seasons of the year. The results obtained were compared with two other rivers of Dhaka Metropolis namely, Buriganga and Turag. Balu River showed water quality characters almost comparable with two other rivers. The phytoplankton biomass as chlorophyll a (chl-a) was found to be correlated directly with air and water temperature and alkalinity of the water. However, a weak positive correlation was obtained between chl-a and Secchi depth and free CO2 concentration. Nitrate nitrogen showed weak negative correlation with chl-a and phaeopigment and phytoplankton total density. High fluctuation was observed in the concentration of DO (0.20 - 4.50 mg/l) and free CO2 (0.06 - 2.90 mg/l) throughout the seasons. Soluble reactive phosphorus ranged from 30 - 1248 μg/l and chl-a ranged from 6.77 - 32.60 μg/l. Phytoplankton density ranged 1178 - 7409×103 ind./l over the study year. Water color ranged from light blue to dark black. The depth of visibility as Secchi depth varied from 15.24 - 81.28 cm whilst the water depth of the studied station Paschim Gaon of Balu River ranged from 4.57 - 7.92 m. Air and water temperature ranged from 25.4 - 36.5°C and 23.4 - 32.3°C, respectively.

Authors: Karim Z , Chowdhury MSM , Hossain MS 
Published: February 2021

Potato is an important vegetable crop of Bangladesh which is facing challenges worldwide due to a quarantine pathogen, Ralstonia solanacearum. It is a very successful bacterial pathogen against most of the traditional management practices. Suspension of ten bioactive compounds viz. propolis, honey, turmeric powder+oil, turmeric powder, magnesium chloride, boiled rice fluid, boiled rice fluid+iodine, sun dried cow dung powder, honey+iodine and sodium bicarbonate were evaluated and compared with control (sterile water), commercial bactericide (Krosin AG) and farmers practice (stable bleaching powder). In vitro assessment was done by comparing the inhibition zones produced on TZC (tetrazolium chloride) solid medium in disc diffusion method. All of those compounds produced larger inhibition zones as compared to control which indicated the effectiveness of the test compounds against the bacteria. To screen out the performances of those compounds in vivo, potato seedlings were inoculated in sterilized soil by soil soak method. Later, mature plants were inoculated in unsterilized soil to find the better resulting compound(s) in field soil condition against the disease. Finally, suspension of cow dung (@25%), propolis (@ 6mg/ml) and turmeric powder (@25%) were selected for trial as soil and seed treatment against the pathogen. It was found that, cow dung reduced 28.89% disease severity index which was followed by 26.67% in propolis and 22.22% in turmeric powder as compared to control (84.44%) in artificially inoculated potato plants against R. solanacearum.

Published: February 2021

Anatomic consideration: Flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon arises from volar aspect of middle third of radial shaft and from the lateral aspect of interosseous membrane. The anterior interosseous branch of median nerve innervates the muscle in the proximal/mid forearm. Blood supply is predominantly from radial artery.
Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of repair and one stage reconstruction of FPL injury and to find out complications and rupture rate and effectiveness of repair and reconstruction.
Method: This retrospective review was carried out in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University from January 2015 to December 2018. 30 consecutive patients were enrolled in the study. 4 strands core suture with simple circumferential suture were used for repair and reconstruction. Tendon transfer was done in few cases. Power grip, active and passive range of motion, American Society for Surgery of the Hand criteria and Buck-Gramcko criteria were used for outcome assessment.
Results: Out of 30 patients, 20 (67%) were male and 10 (33%) were female. Mean age was 30 years. Mean follow up period was 1.5 years. All cases were due to various type of cut injuries. In subjective assessment 40% patients achieved excellent, 50% good, 10% fair results. Our rupture rate was 0%. Mean power grip, pinch grip strength of index and key pinch strength were 87.5%, 68.18% and 86.66% respectively from contralateral normal hand. Active range of motion of IP joint was 64.28% of normal side.
Conclusions: Use of 4 strands core sutures and early active motion give good to excellent results in 90% cases of repair, reconstruction and tendon transfer in FPL injuries with 0% rupture rate

Background: Malnutrition is widely recognized as a major health problem in children in developing country. Malnutrition is a serious public health problem that has been linked to increase risk of morbidity and mortality .Many factors can cause malnutrition, most of which relate to poor diet, family size, family income, repeated ARI and diarrhea that may or may not causes electrolytes changes, particularly in underprivileged populations.
Objective: To determine the serum electrolyte disturbances in malnourished under 5 children with or without diarrhea.
Methodology: This is a descriptive study and conducted among 100 under 5 malnourished children of randomly selected in admitted patient of Dhaka Shishu Hospital. It was carried out during January-2015 to December-2017. They were suffering from different grades of malnutrition with or without diarrhea. On the basis of history, physical examination and anthropometrics measurement they were divided into Group A patients (n=56) who were malnourished but had diarrhoea and Group B patients (n=44) who were also malnourished and had no diarrhoea. Serum electrolytes were done in patients of both groups and the results were analyzed statistically by using SPSS windows programs 21.
Results: Analysis of serum electrolytes in both groups that hyponatremia and hypokalemia were seen more frequently in patients of group A as compared to group B. In group A hyponatremia was seen in 41 patients (71.92%) while it was observed in 16 patients (28.07%) in group B (p<0.00), hypokalemia was seen in 27 patients (69.23%) in group A and in 12 patients (30.76%) in group B (p<0.03).
Conclusions: Electrolyte changes were commonly seen in moderate and severe malnourished children particularly who presented with diarrhoeal episode of variable duration. If these changes are diagnosed in time the morbidity and mortality decreased.

Published: February 2021

It cannot be denied that looking at the learning process and also every scenario that occurs in this country is something that must be closely related to what and how one should know from the perspective of Islamic philosophy. Therefore, the essence of education which is based on Islam itself has a very significant contribution to human life. Discussing Islamic Philosophy of Education will focus on what philosophy is as the core of every theoretical and practical element of all aspects and knowledge. In this regard, this paper also looks at the relevance of the branches of philosophy (such as metaphysics and axiology) and philosophical schools of thought (such as pragmatism) in the discussion of Islamic Education Philosophy. Ultimately, this was seen as essential to achieving holistic learning. So this understanding of Islamic Philosophy proves to be important in understanding any current scenario in our context or society in this country, among other things about the importance of implementing aspects of Islamic Education Philosophy in looking at social problems; the application of aspects of Islamic Philosophy Education in Viewing Environmental Problems; and Educational Aspects of Islamic Philosophy in Viewing Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence in today's society.

Authors: Zabiela Šarūnas , Kesminas Rolandas , Sipavičius Viljamas 
Published: February 2021

Tyrimo pagrindimas. Apie 85% populiacijos skundžiasi nespecifiniu nugaros apatinės dalies skausmu. Nustatyta, kad stuburo stabilizavimo pratimai pagerina juosmens giliųjų raumenų funkciją ir sumažina nugaros skausmą, o stuburo mobilizacija sumažina neįgalumą ir skausmą gydant lėtinį nugaros skausmą. Visgi nėra pakankamai tyrimų, kuriuose būtų įrodytas didesnis ar mažesnis skirtingų manualinės terapijos metodų poveikis gydant nugaros apatinės dalies skausmą.
Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti skirtingų manualinės terapijos metodų ir stuburo stabilizavimo pratimų poveikį asmenų, jaučiančių nugaros apatinės dalies skausmą, skausmui ir funkcinei būklei.
Metodai. Buvo tiriama 18 asmenų, jaučiančių lėtinį nespecifinį nugaros apatinės dalies skausmą. Atsitiktine tvarka tiriamieji suskirstyti į dvi grupes. Vienai grupei buvo taikoma stuburo slankstelių mobilizacija atliekant judesį ir stuburo stabilizavimo pratimai, kitai – nespecifinė stuburo juosmens ir kryžmens manipuliacija bei stuburo stabilizavimo pratimai. Prieš intervenciją ir po jos buvo vertinamas nugaros skausmas, funkcinė būklė ir negalia, pilvo raumenų statinė ištvermė, nugaros raumenų statinė ištvermė, šoninių juosmens raumenų statinė ištvermė, stuburo paslankumas.
Rezultatai. Tiriamųjų jaučiamas skausmas po taikytų intervencijų sumažėjo (p < 0,05), negalia ir funkcinė būklė pagėrėjo (p < 0,05), stuburo paslankumas ir liemens raumenų statinė ištvermė pagerėjo (p < 0,05). Tarp abiejų taikytų metodikų veiksmingumo statistiškai reikšmingo skirtumo nenustatyta.
Išvados. Tiek taikant stuburo slankstelių mobilizaciją atliekant judesį ir stuburo stabilizavimo pratimus, tiek taikant nespecifinę juosmens ir kryžmens manipuliaciją bei stuburo stabilizavimo pratimus, sumažėjo tiriamųjų nugaros skausmas ir pagerėjo funkcinė būklė, poveikis tarp skirtingų manualinės terapijos metodų nesiskyrė.
Raktažodžiai: nugaros apatinės dalies skausmas, stuburo stabilizavimo pratimai, manualinė terapija.
Jėgos ir tempimo pratimų poveikis vyresniojo amžiaus asmenų, sergančių lėtiniu reumatoidiniu artritu, plaštakos funkcijai
Authors: Želvytė Radvilė , Čekanauskaitė Agnė 
Published: February 2021

Tyrimo pagrindimas. Reumatoidinis artritas (RA) dažniausiai pažeidžia plaštakos griebimo funkciją. Iš tyrimų yra žinoma, kad rankų jėgos pratimai pagerina vidutinio amžiaus asmenų plaštakos griebimo jėgą ir bendrą rankos funkciją, tačiau neaišku, kaip jėgos ir tempimo pratimų derinimas veikia vyresniojojo amžiaus asmenis, sergančius lėtiniu (iki 10 metų) RA.
Tyrimo tikslas – įvertinti jėgos ir tempimo pratimų poveikį vyresniojo amžiaus asmenų, sergančių lėtiniu reumatoidiniu artritu, plaštakos funkcijai.
Metodai. Buvo tiriama 20 asmenų, kurių amžius nuo 60 iki 80 metų. Jie suskirstyti į dvi grupes: kontrolinę (n = 10), kuriai buvo skirta 20 min įprastinė kineziterapija be papildomų pratimų, ir tiriamąją (n = 10), kuriai skirta 20 min įprastinė kineziterapija ir 30 min trukmės rankų jėgos ir tempimo pratimai. Tyrimas truko 5 savaites, kineziterapija abiem grupėm taikyta 2 kartus per savaitę. Tyrimo pradžioje ir pabaigoje buvo vertinama visų tiriamųjų rankų funkcija, skausmas, riešo ir delninių pirštų sąnarių apimtys.
Rezultatai. Abiejose gupėse statistiškai reikšmingai pagerėjo tiriamųjų rankų funkcinė būklė ir plaštakos tiesimo, lenkimo amplitudės (p < 0,05). Tiriamojoje grupėje po papildomų jėgos ir tempimo pratimų pagerėjo (p < 0,05) visi vertinti rodikliai. Lyginant abi grupes tarpusavyje po intervencijos, statistiškai reikšmingas plaštakos funkcinių rodiklių pagerėjimas nustatytas tiriamojoje grupėje po papildomų rankų jėgos ir tempimo pratimų (p < 0,05).
Išvados. Jėgos ir tempimo pratimai gali pagerinti rankos funkcinius rodiklius, sumažinti skausmą veiksmingiau, nei taikant vyresniojo amžiaus asmenims, sergantiems lėtiniu reumaoidiniu artritu, tik įprastinę kineziterapiją.

Published: February 2021

Background: Many patients who have aortic stenosis and are transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) candidates have underwent prior cardiac surgery (PCS). The aim of this study was to provide a robust summary comparison between patients with PCS who underwent TAVR vs. surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of all published articles on PubMed/Medline, Ovid, EMBASE, and Scopus from 2002 to 2019.Results: A total of 13 studies were finally included, yielding a total of 23,148 participants. There was no statistical difference with 30-day [OR: 1.02 (0.86–1.21)] or 1-year mortality [OR: 1.18 (0.86–1.61)] between the two groups. Subgroup analysis revealed that high-risk patients who underwent TAVR with the transapical approach were associated with increased risk of mortality [OR: 1.45 (1.00–2.11)]. However, those who underwent TAVR with endovascular approach had a comparable outcome with SAVR.Conclusions: Primary outcomes after endovascular TAVR were similar to those with SAVR and superior to transapical TAVR treatment group in patients with PCS.

Long-term seafloor geodetic measurements are important for constraining submarine crustal deformation near plate boundaries. Here we present an integrated analysis of a decade of GNSS/acoustic data collected at a site 60 km to the east of northeast Taiwan near the axis of the Okinawa Trough back-arc basin. We obtained a time-series of horizontal and vertical positions based on 18 measurements from 2009 to 2019. These data reveal a southeastward movement at a rate of 43 ± 5 mm/yr since 2012 with respect to the Yangtze Plate. The horizontal motion can be explained by the clockwise rotation of the Yonaguni Block and northern Central Range. In addition, the vertical displacement of the transponder array shows rapid subsidence of 22 ± 9 mm/yr from 2012 to 2019. The fast subsidence rate and negative free-air gravity anomaly in this region indicate that crustal thinning is compensated mainly by surface deformation rather than upward migration of the Moho. Taking into account the offset in 2012 owing to the replacement of the transponder array, the horizontal position time series of our site are best explained by two linear lines with a slope change in July 2013. The timing of the velocity change coincides broadly with a change in the nearby seismicity rate and dike intrusion 150 km away from the site. Our results highlight the potential of seafloor geodesy in assessing temporal changes in deformation near the spreading center of the Okinawa Trough, which cannot be one using data from onland GNSS stations.

Published: February 2021

Background: The current study sought to determine the incidence of postoperative adverse events (AEs) based on data from the 2006 Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD).Methods: This retrospective case-control study included patients who experienced postoperative AEs in 387 hospitals throughout Taiwan in 2006. The independent variable was the presence or absence of 10 possible postoperative AEs, as identified by patient safety indicators (PSIs).Results: A total of 17,517 postoperative AEs were identified during the study year. PSI incidence ranged from 0.1/1,000 admissions (obstetric trauma-cesarean section) to 132.6/1,000 admissions (obstetric trauma with instrument). Length of stay (LOS) associated with postoperative AEs ranged from 0.10 days (obstetric trauma with instrument) to 14.06 days (postoperative respiratory failure). Total hospitalization expenditures (THEs) ranged from 363.7 New Taiwan Dollars (obstetric trauma without instrument) to 263,732 NTD (postoperative respiratory failure). Compared to patients without AEs, we determined that the THEs were 2.13 times in cases of postoperative AE and LOS was 1.72 times higher.Conclusions: AEs that occur during hospitalization have a major impact on THEs and LOS.

Published: February 2021

Background: SARS-Cov2 has raised concerns among dermatologists regarding psoriasis and its respective treatments. Comorbidities, which induce the expression of the proprotease furin have been associated with severe course of COVID-19. Furin and angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) play a major role in viral host cell entry of SARS-Cov2.Objective: To evaluate mRNA expression of Furin and ACE2 from blood cells in psoriasis patients, and whether systemic or topical treatment reduces expression levels.Methods: This observational translational study analyzed blood samples from patients from a clinical trial and samples retrieved from the biobank of the Psoriasis Registry Austria (PsoRA). Furin and ACE2 expression levels were analyzed prior to as well as 3 and 12–24 months after start of biologic treatment with either ustekinumab or secukinumab. Additionally, the study analyzed expression levels prior to, 6 days after start of dithranol treatment and 4–6 weeks after end of dithranol treatment.Results: Furin mRNA expression was significantly increased at baseline in the biologic (4.9 ± 2.6 fold, p &lt; 0.0001) and in the dithranol group (2.7 ± 1.4 fold, p &lt; 0.001) compared to controls. There was a trend for arthritis patients to express more furin than patients with psoriatic skin involvement only (5.26 ± 2.30 vs. 3.48 ± 2.27, p = 0.078). Analyzing furin mRNA expression after treatment initiation with secukinumab or ustekinumab revealed a normalization of levels after 3 and 12 to 24 months. Similar findings were obtained for patients treated with dithranol, with significantly decreased expression levels 6 days after start of dithranol treatment and also at follow-up, (4–6 weeks after dithranol treatment had been terminated). ACE2 expression levels did not differ from controls at any timepoint, regardless of biologic or topical treatment.Conclusion: Significantly overexpressed levels of furin were observed in untreated patients, and, thus, these patients may be at risk for infection and a severe course of COVID-19. However, the data indicate that successful therapeutic intervention in psoriasis, by systemic biologic or topical treatment, can efficiently reduce furin levels in blood cells, possibly limiting the risk of psoriasis patients for a severe COVID-19 course.Clinical Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT02752672.
