The present investigation deals with biosystematic studies of Pseudophyllidean tapeworm Senga i.e. S. satarensis, S. madhavae, S. mangalbai and S.microrostellata collected from intestine of a Mastacembelus armatus at various places of Marathwada Region (M.S.) India during the period of May, 2012 to Oct., 2013. The worm of present study come closer to all known species of this genus in general topography of organ but differs due to morphometeric measurements and morphological characteristics. The Senga satarensis (Bhure et.al., 2011) comes closer to known species of the genus Senga Dollfus, 1934 in general topography of organ but differs due to taxonomic characters as scolex pear shaped, rostellum bearing 28-30 rostellar hooks, neck absent, testes 175-200 in numbers, cirrus pouch oval, ovary bilobed, vagina runs posteriorly, genital pores oval, vitellaria granular, uterus saccular and egg elongated. The Senga madhavae (Bhure et.al.,2010) comes closer to known species of this genus in general topography of organ but differs due to scolex triangular, rostellum bearing 40-44 rostellar hooks, neck absent, mature proglottids five to six times broader than long, testes 200-220 in numbers, cirrus pouch oval, ovary dumb-bell shaped, genital pores oval in shape, vitellaria granular, uterus saccular and egg elongated. The Senga mangalbai (Bhure et.al.,2011) comes closer to all the known species of this genus in general topography of organ but differs due to scolex conical, hooks 38-42 in numbers, absence of neck, testes 70-80 in numbers, ovary bilobed, each lobe nut shaped and vitellaria granular. The Senga microrostellata (Bhure et.al.,2014) comes closer to all known species of this genus in general topography of organ but differs due to scolex triangular, bothria sessile, rostellum armed with 18-20 hooks which is single circled, absence of neck, mature proglottids 8-9 times broader than long, testes 250-300 in numbers, cirrus pouch elongated, vagina runs posteriorly, ovary dumb-bell shaped, uterus sacular filled with non-operculated eggs and Vitellaria follicular.

Background. Behçet's disease is a rare systemic autoimmune vasculitis. The presence of infection makes it difficult to manage. Case. Ms. X, 19 years old, complained of mouth and genitalia ulcers and joints pain. She had typhoid fever two months before; and a week after recovery, she experienced reddish skin lesions on her legs. Her condition was weak and the pain visual analog score (VAS) was 9/10. Multiple oral ulcers were found in her oral cavity and vulva. Her lungs were hypersonor. There were hyperpigmented maculae in her lower extremities. Her ankle joints were painful in passive and active movements. Blood leukocytes: 13,210/µl, urine leukocytes: 20-23/hpf, ANA, anti-dsDNA and Pathergy tests were negative. The diagnosis of Behçet's disease was based on multiple oral and genital ulcers, history of erythema nodosum and arthritis. The patient was treated with topical triamcinolone. Joint ulcers and pain worsened; so that intravenous methylprednisolone was administer. Two days later, the patient had cough and oxygen desaturation. Chest X-ray showed emphysematous lungs and pneumonia. Methylprednisolone was stopped, ceftriaxone and levofloxacin were given, treatment for ulcers and arthritis was replaced with colchicine and rebamipide. Sucralfate is given for gargle and applied to the genital ulcers. On the seventh day, the ulcers were greatly reduced, joint pain resolved, cough subsided and VAS became 2/10. On the twelfth day, the chest X-ray was normal and ulcers were healed, ankle pain was suffered again accompanied by swelling. The patient was treated with methylprednisolone and azathioprine. Discussion. Treatment for this disease is immunosuppressants. In severe conditions with infection, colchicine can be an alternative treatment. Adjuvant treatment are rebamipide and/or sucralfate. Emphysematous lungs can be caused by alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency or pulmonary vasculitis, which can be manifested in autoimmune diseases. Emphysematous lungs, leads us to follow up on the development to other autoimmune disorders such as lupus. Conclusion. Behçet's disease with infection can be successfully managed with colchicine, rebamipide and sucralfate.

Gezien de toenemende populariteit van het imago van de “productieve stad” zowel in politieke als in academische kringen in Brussel, is men het er steeds meer over eens dat de productieactiviteiten in de stad moeten worden behouden en zelfs opnieuw moeten worden ontwikkeld. Maar terwijl de publieke actoren – via hun beleid inzake productieactiviteiten en ruimtelijke ordening – de ontwikkeling van nieuwe activiteiten stimuleren, gaan die veranderingen soms ten koste van de oude activiteiten. Al deze productieactiviteiten zijn echter niet identiek gelijk wanneer we kijken naar de lokalisatiefactoren maar ook naar de sociale en economische gevolgen. Dit artikel, dat het resultaat is van de samenwerking tussen twee onderzoeksprojecten, sluit bijgevolg aan op een kwalitatieve en vergelijkende empirische benadering om meer inzicht te krijgen in de realiteit waarmee deze verschillende soorten van activiteiten – zowel oude als nieuwe – overeenstemmen, alsook in de uitdagingen die gepaard gaan met het behoud of de ontwikkeling van die activiteiten.

Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate whether adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) can improve the treatment outcome of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer who underwent extensive lymph node dissection (ELND).

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective study included patients with gastric cancer pathological stages IIA–IIIC at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital between 2008 and 2015. Patients (a) aged >80 years, (b) with distant metastasis at diagnosis, (c) with coexisting malignancies, (d) who did not complete the prescribed RT course, and (e) who died 1 month after surgery were excluded. Among 420 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer, 98 were included.

Results:
The median follow-up was 24.5 months. Of 39 patients who underwent adjuvant RT, 38 also received adjuvant chemotherapy (CT). Of 59 patients who did not receive adjuvant RT, only 34 received adjuvant CT. ELND was performed in 67.3% of the patients. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 40%. In the univariate analyses, adjuvant CT regimen, 5-fluorouracil + leucovorin, was associated with worst outcome, while TS-1 was associated with better survival outcome (P = 0.018). The number of involved lymph nodes was strongly related to the OS and disease-free survival (DFS) (P < 0.001). We tried using different numbers of involved lymph nodes as a cutoff point and found that adjuvant RT significantly improved both OS and DFS in patients whose involved lymph nodes were ≥4 (OS, P = 0.017; DFS, P = 0.015). In multivariate analyses, better DFS was associated with negative surgical margin (P = 0.04), earlier disease stage (P = 0.001), adjuvant radiotherapy (P = 0.045), and adjuvant CT regimen TS-1 (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:
Adjuvant RT could improve DFS of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer with or without ELND. When the number of involved lymph nodes is ≥4, adjuvant RT is strongly suggested.

Published: February 2021

Background: End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients on maintenance renal replacement therapy (RRT) have far lower life spans than those of the general population. No previous studies have been performed to assess the mortality of dialysis patients in the State of Qatar. We designed this study to assess the mortality of dialysis patients in Qatar and the impact of dialysis modality.
Methods: All chronic ambulatory dialysis patients (both on hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) between 2014 and 2016) were included in the study, whereas patients undergoing dialysis for less than 3 months were excluded. We reviewed patients’ demographics, comorbidities, and general laboratory investigations through our electronic record system and collected and analyzed them. We identified patients who died during that period and compared them to those who survived. We performed a subanalysis for HD versus PD patients who died.
Results: The total number of deceased dialysis patients was 164, with an overall crude mortality rate of 6.4%. They were significantly older than those who survived (p = 0.0001). The mortality rate was significantly higher in female than in male patients (51.2% and 38.9%, respectively) (p = 0.004) but significantly lower in PD than HD patients (1.36%, PD; 5.0%, HD; p = 0.007). It was also significantly higher in natives than in the expats (60.3% and 39.6%, respectively) (p = 0.0008); however, no significant differences were noted between deceased natives and expats in most demographic and laboratory characteristics. The most common cause of patient death was CVD (62 patients, 37.8%), followed by sepsis (44 patients, 26.8%). Diabetes, cerebrovascular accident, and dyslipidemia were more common in HD deceased patients than in PD patients (80.6%, 47%, and 59%, respectively, in HD patients vs 68.5%, 42%, and 31%, respectively, in PD patients). Albumin and potassium levels in deceased PD patients were significantly lower than in HD patients (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Our study found that the high-risk population had a significant mortality, which was higher in HD than PD patients. This is the first study to look at these outcomes in Qatar. We identified multiple mortality associated factors, such as comorbid conditions and old age. We believe that improving treatment and close monitoring for comorbid conditions in the dialysis population might improve survival.
Treatment of Singularly Perturbed Differential Equations with Delay and Shift Using Haar Wavelet Collocation Method
Authors: Raza Akmal , Khan Arshad 
Published: February 2021

An efficient Haar wavelet collocation method is proposed for the numerical solution of singularly perturbed differential equations with delay and shift. Taylor series (upto the first order) is used to convert the problem with delay and shift into a new problem without the delay and shift and then solved by Haar wavelet collocation method, which reduces the time and complexity of the system. Further, we apply the Haar wavelet collocation method directly to solve the problems. Also, we demonstrated several test examples to show the accuracy and efficiency of the Haar wavelet collocation method and compared our results with the finite difference and fitted operator finite difference method [11], [28].
A Review of Hydrodynamic Design Methods for Seaplanes
Authors: Morabito Michael G. 
Published: February 2021

The design of successful water-based aircraft requires a close collaboration between the aeronautical engineers and naval architects, who perform high-speed towing tests, stability calculations, or computational fluid dynamics in support of the design. This article presents the fundamental design considerations of waterborne aircraft, which are outside of the typical educational scope of most naval architects, but which they are sometimes asked to address. These include 1) the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic problems associated with seaplane design, 2) early-stage methods for sizing the hull, 3) prediction techniques using archival data, and 4) hydrodynamic model testing procedures. Although a new design will often require substantial iteration to achieve the desired outcome, the information in this article will assist in developing a reasonable starting point for the design spiral and provides sufficient details for a hydrodynamic model testing facility to perform a successful series of model tests on the design. Although much of the work in this field dates from the 1940s, it is important to review this material in light of the current practices being used at hydrodynamic research facilities today. A detailed description of the model testing apparatus and procedure, used in a recent study at the U.S. Naval Academy, is presented to demonstrate the current applicability of these methods and some pitfalls that can be expected in testing.

Introduction
Today, there is a renewed interest in seaplane designs for both civilian and governmental applications worldwide. According to the Seaplane Pilots Association, there are approximately thirty-five thousand seaplane-rated pilots in the United States and between five and ten thousand operational seaplanes. Worldwide, larger seaplanes are used for firefighting, search and rescue applications, and cargo transportation.
Parenting behavior and growth of child conduct problems: Moderation by callous‐unemotional traits
Authors: Falk Avital E. , Stiles Kelsey , Krein Isabel N. , Lee Steve S. 
Published: February 2021

AbstractAlthough positive parenting behavior is central to efficacious interventions for child conduct problems (CP), studies of youth CP have focused mostly on negative parenting behavior. That is, few studies have examined dimensions of positive parenting behavior (e.g., positive reinforcement, involvement) as independent predictors of CP and even fewer have investigated their potential moderation by callous‐unemotional (CU) traits. A sample of 184 6–9 year‐old children with and without attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was followed prospectively for two years. Controlling for baseline ADHD diagnostic status, initial CP, and negative parenting (i.e., corporal punishment), we examined CU traits, positive reinforcement and involvement, and their interactions as predictors of two‐year change in CP. Positive reinforcement and CU traits independently predicted increased rule breaking behavior whereas parental involvement inversely predicted aggressive behavior. A significant positive reinforcement x CU traits interaction suggested that positive reinforcement predicted a decrease in aggressive behavior, but only in children with low CU traits; conversely, positively reinforcement marginally predicted increased aggressive behavior among children with high CU traits. No other significant parenting x CU traits interaction was observed. We consider these findings within a developmental psychopathology framework where interactive exchanges underlie the development of CP.
