Role of uterine artery Doppler indices for predicting intrauterine pathology inconclusive on 2-dimensional transvaginal imaging among infertile women undergoing frozen embryo transfer cycle
Authors: Sindhu Lavi 
Published: December 2021

Background: Objective of current study was to correlate uterine artery Doppler parameters with endometrial findings on hysteroscopy and its importance for the prediction of intrauterine pathology inconclusive on 2-dimensional transvaginal imaging prior to frozen embryo transfer.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at Medicover fertility center, New Delhi, India. The study population comprised of women with infertility who have undergone hysteroscopy before frozen embryo transfer. Total 70 patients were recruited based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. Intrauterine pathology found in 57.2% (n= 40) patients and 42.8% (n=30) had normal endometrial cavity on hysteroscopy, they were categorized as group 1 and group 2 respectively based on their findings. Both the groups were compared for pre hysteroscopy uterine artery Doppler parameters, resistivity index and pulsatility index. Further clinical pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate were determined in both groups.Results: Both the groups were comparable for age, body mass index, duration, and type of infertility. Mean RI and PI was significantly higher in group 1 as compared to group 2 (0.90±0.025, 2.89±0.291 vs. 0.76±0.043, 1.82±0.27; p value <0.001). The best cut-off value of uterine artery RI was ≥0.87 with sensitivity of 90% (95% CI=0.7634-0.9721), specificity of 100% (95% CI=0.8843-1.0000) and PI was 2.46 with sensitivity of 100% (95% CI=0.9119-1.0000), specificity of 96.7% (95% CI=0.8278-0.9992).Conclusions: Uterine artery Doppler is a non-invasive, cost- effective useful add-on tool for routine endometrial evaluation and can be a good predictor for screening intrauterine pathology and valuable in decision making for pre-IVF hysteroscopy.

Published: December 2021

Background: Routine histology for haemorrhoidectomy specimens remains commonplace in clinical practice, as a method of detecting incidental anal cancer. However, its utility and cost-effectiveness is unclear in the literature. This study aimed to determine the cost-effectiveness of routine histology for haemorrhoidectomy specimens in a regional Australian hospital. The secondary aim was to determine the proportion of specimens sent for histology, and whether individual surgeons had a statistically significant preference for whether to send for histology.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who received haemorrhoidectomies at Hervey Bay Hospital between March 2012 and May 2020. Cost effectiveness of routine histology was investigated by weighing the number of incidental anal cancers detected against the cost of analysis. The proportion sent for histology was determined, both as a whole and by individual consultant surgeons.Results: Routine histology was ordered in 65% of patients who received haemorrhoidectomies over the study period (n=119), costing $13,623 AUD ($1,651 AUD per year). No cases of incidental anal dysplasia or neoplasia were found. Only 1 of the 8 most prolific surgeons over the study period demonstrated a statistically significant preference for whether to send for histology.Conclusions: Our study does not support routine histology for haemorrhoidectomy specimens as a cost-effective practice for detecting incidental anal cancer. Most individual surgeons did not display a clear preference for whether to send for histology.

Published: December 2021

Background: Over the past few decades, the incidence of thyroid cancer has dramatically increased. Thyroid malignancy in multinodular goitre is considered to be high and these occult malignancies are detected only in post operative histopathological analysis. The study helps in finding association between multinodular goitre and thyroid malignancy. Objective was to find the association between multinodular goitre and thyroid malignancy in those who underwent total thyroidectomy.Methods: A cross sectional study conducted in department of general surgery, KIMS hospital, Bangalore. The 236 randomized cases of multinodular goitre who underwent total thyroidectomy were selected. Patients underwent thorough clinical examination pre operatively and were reassessed in post-operative period following surgery. Later, histopathology report on thyroidectomy specimen of the patients were obtained. This report was considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of thyroid malignancy.Results: Occult malignancies were commoner in middle aged females. Most of the patients in the study underwent total thyroidectomy. The prevalence of thyroid malignancy in our study was found to be 7.2%. In the study, 17 incidental malignancies were papillary carcinomas. It revealed a highly significant relation between the lymphocytic thyroiditis and occult malignancy (p<0.0001)Conclusions: The prevalence of malignancy in multinodular goitre is 7.2%. The only variant of incidental malignancy detected in histopathological examination of excised thyroid was papillary carcinoma. There is a statistically significant association between presence of thyroiditis in preoperative FNA and presence of occult malignancy carcinoma.

Published: December 2021

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignancy affecting the oral cavity. It typically metastasizes into the regional cervical lymph nodes before spreading to distant organs.Methods: A prospective study on sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in early oral cancers using methylene blue dye and sentinel node localisation using pre-operative lymphoscintigraphy and intraoperative gamma probe in early oral cavity cancer.Results: Present study had a male to female ratio of 1.9:1, with (65.5%) male and (34.5%) female patients. Present study had a side distribution of disease more on left side with 138 patients (62.7%) and ratio of left to right was approximately 1.7:1. In present study most predominating gross morphological pattern of growth was ulcerative (35%) followed by ulcero-infilterative (25%). Buccal mucosa was the most common sub-site of origin of carcinoma in oral cavity, followed by tongue, with 83 (37.7%) and 64 (29.1%) patients. Identification rate of methylene blue dye was 91.7% (100 out of 109 patient). Identification rate of radionuclide tracer was 94.6% (105 out of 111 patient). In methylene blue dye group out of 103 metastatic sentinel lymph nodes, 9 metastatic sentinel lymph nodes were detected on IHC.Conclusions: With the above results it can be concluded the SLNB study is liable in detection of actual positive node and can avoid unnecessary neck dissections in patients with SCC with negative sentinel lymph node, as having very low risk of occult lymphatic metastases in the remaining lymphatic drainage.

France and Russia from 1892 to the Present Day: Looking Back on a “Sinusoidal” Relationship
Authors: Rey Marie-Pierre 
Published: December 2021

The contribution endeavors to demonstrate that Franco-Russian relations in the long run have never been linear and that despite a cultural proximity linked to the Francophonie and Francophilia of the Russian elites, political relations have been much more fraught and even conflictual. However, from the last third of the 19th century, a rapprochement took place which led to a military alliance that was brutally ended by the October Revolution. Decades of distrustful and tense relations followed, before General de Gaulle, from 1965—1966, embarked on a policy of détente, understanding and cooperation beyond the differences of political regimes. It is this Gaullian “paradigm” that remains the key word in Franco-Russian relations to this day.

Published: December 2021

A pesquisa buscou mapear a presença de matérias de capa sobre feminicídio publicadas entre 2015 e 2019 na Folha de S. Paulo. Apesar dos altos índices desse crime no período, levantamentos junto ao acervo digitalizado do jornal apontam a concessão de baixa visibilidade a casos e à temática do feminicídio em sua primeira página: apenas sete textos foram localizados ao longo dos cinco anos pesquisados (três notícias, uma nota, dois artigos de opinião e um editorial). A discussão dos achados chama a atenção para silêncios constitutivos do discurso do jornal, bem como para a conexão dos enunciados jornalísticos em relação a discursos em circulação no espaço público. The feminicide on the cover of Folha de S. Paulo: considerations about the coverage by the São Paulo newspaper between 2015 and 2019AbstractGiven the high rates of feminicide in Brazil and considering the relevance of journalism as an instrument to raise society’s awareness of gender violence, this research intended to map the presence of stories about the focused crime in the cover of Folha de S. Paulo newspaper between 2015 and 2019. The trackings showed a low visibility conferred by the vehicle to feminicide cases and theme on its front page. Thus, the study conclusions draw attention to constitutive silences of the newspaper discourse, as well as they point out connections between the journalistic enunciates and circulating discourses in the public space.Keywords: Feminicide; Folha de S.

In the last decade of the 20th century, a war in the former Yugoslavia broke out, once again making Europe a witness to an armed conflict. Almost at the same time, another local ethnic bloodshed started, but this time in distant Africa — in Rwanda. Both these events included the most horrifying international crimes against humanity: genocide and war crimes. To prosecute the most important commanding figures involved in these conflicts and hold them criminally responsible, two ad hoc United Nations tribunals were created: International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in Hague and International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha. They finished their operation in 2017 and 2015, respectively. The tasks of conducting and completing all ongoing proceedings, including law enforcement, after the completion of their mandates have been entrusted to the UN International Residual Mechanism.
One of the crucial assignments of the tribunals and later the Redisual Mechanism was to deal with the request on behalf of the convicted for granting them early release. Although none of the statutes of the aforementioned courts provided any ground for early release, soon it was accepted that both tribunals, as well as their successor, were entitled to proceed despite this issue. As soon as in 2001, the first convict was granted early release, but with no conditions. It is estimated that, to date, more than 2/3 of all convicted by the Tribunals have been released before the termination of their sentence. This should raise the question of how to rehabilitate that kind of offender, convicted of genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity, to ensure they do not pose a threat to society anymore. Especially since the offenders serve their punishment outside the country of their origin — meaning, different rules apply according to the domestic law regulation of the state that voluntarily agreed to enforce the sentence.
This article analyzes the juridical approach of the tribunals and the Residual Mechanism on the issue of early release of the convicts involved in the armed conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.
Partycypacja społeczna jako filar demokracji środowiskowej w Chińskiej Republice Ludowej
Authors: Bazylińska-Nagler Justyna 
Published: December 2021

The latest revision from 2014 of the Chinese Environmental Protection Law introduced a new mechanism of public participation in environmental law-making. It forces the Chinese legislative process to be more transparent and inclusive, that is to say — involve civil society and NGOs. Generally, this development deserves support and approval; there are, however, several shortcomings that should be addressed in the future. For instance, neither the level of cooperation between legislature and civil society nor the outcomes of public participation do always meet social expectations.
The purpose of this work was to research the Chinese model of public participation in environmental decision-making, bearing in mind the authoritarian governance of the People’s Republic of China. Then, to analyze the real impact of the international cooperation and standards on the application of this model. Specifically, the EU–China Environmental Governance Programme (2010–2015) was discussed as a very influential example.
The outcome of the research shows that Chinese environmental law has been notably shaped by public international and European law. There are considerable similarities between the legal instruments of environmental democracy applied in China and public international law standards promoted by the United Nations and the European Union through the implementation of the Aarhus Convention of 1998. And, without doubt, it has to be recognised that the People’s Republic of China has its own rich and diversified, however contradictory during the course of history, doctrines and a jurisprudence body of work considering civil society’s participatory role in decision-making.
Each of the successive Chinese forms of government — beginning with despotism, then a glimpse of democracy, totalitarianism, and, finally, authoritarianism — did leave their mark on the Chinese political thought and law regarding the desired participation level of society (i.e. various civil movements and NGOs) in state affairs. In this day and age, social interest and support for the environmental protection is well-accepted by the Chinese government, especially due to the current plan of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to build an “ecological civilization” in China.
