Background and objectives
Bacterial infection–related GN occurs concurrent to or after known or unknown infections. It is important to understand the clinical implications of the bacterial isolates, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and effect of latency-based classification on kidney and patient outcomes.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
In total, 501 consecutive adults diagnosed with bacterial infection–related GN between 2005 and 2017 were included from a biopsy registry of 15,545 patients at a single center in South India, and follow-up data were collected from electronic medical records until December 2019. Latency was defined as time between resolution of infection and onset of GN, which was classified as parainfectious, peri-infectious, or postinfectious GN. Longitudinal kidney and patient outcomes were studied.

Results
The mean age of the cohort was 40 (± 15) years, 6% were above 65 years, and 330 (66%) were men. Diabetes was present in 93 (19%) patients. Seventy percent (353 of 501) of patients had known infections, with the median latent period for parainfectious (115 of 353, 33%), peri-infectious (97 of 353, 27%), and postinfectious (141 of 353, 40%) GN being 0, 5 (4–7), and 15 (10–31) days, respectively. The most common predisposing organism was Streptococcus pyogenes (137 of 353, 39%). Drug-resistant nonstreptococcal bacteria were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (25%, four of 16), extended-spectrum β-lactamases (20%, 12 of 59), and carbapenem-resistant organisms (10%, six of 59). Twenty of 22 (91%) of the drug-resistant organisms were isolated from the parainfectious group. The most common site of infection was skin in peri- (23 of 97, 24%) and postinfectious GN (61 of 141, 43%), and urinary tract in parainfectious GN (35 of 115, 30%). Of 321 patients with >3 months of follow-up, 48 (15%) developed kidney failure over a median period of 10 (2–37) months and 14 (4%) died. Parainfectious GN, eGFR<30 ml/min per 1.73 m2, moderate-to-severe interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, and nontreatment with renin-angiotensin system blockers were significant risk factors for progression to kidney failure by a Cox proportional-hazards model.

Conclusions
Along with clinical and histologic predictors, parainfectious GN caused predominantly by nonstreptococcal and drug-resistant bacterial infections was associated with poor kidney prognosis.
Unbanking in NYC?
Authors: Aita Sarah 
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this project is to explore whether there is a correlation
pattern between the number of banks and banking status, as well as to
find the driving factors behind the banking status of New York City
residents. The analysis concluded that there is a weak correlation
between the availability of banks in a neighborhood and the ratio of
unbanked households. The increase in the ratio of unbanked households is
mainly related to two socio-economic features: poverty level and
unemployment.
Keskusteluryhmässä jaettavan vertaistiedon ja vertaistuen merkitys sosiaalisesti vetäytyneiden henkilöiden itsemurhakeskusteluissa
Authors: Haasio Ari , Salminen-Tuomaala Mari 
Published: June 2021

Tässä artikkelissa käsitellään suomalaisten sosiaalisesti vetäytyneiden henkilöiden eli hikikomoreiden itsemurhaan liittyviä tiedontarpeita ja aiheeseen liittyvää keskustelua Ylilaudan Hikikomero-keskustelupalstalla. Keskeiset tutkimuskysymykset ovat: Mitä tiedontarpeita keskustelijoilla on itsemurhaan liittyen ja millaisia psyykkisiä ja sosiaalisia itsemurhaa edistäviä vaikuttimia verkkokeskusteluissa voidaan havaita? Artikkelin teoreettinen viitekehys perustuu Reijo Savolaisen elämäntavan teoriaan. Yksi artikkelin keskeisistä tavoitteista on eksplikoida disnormatiivisen informaation esiintymistä verkossa niin vertaistiedon kuin vertaistuen muodossa.
Artikkeli perustuu Ylilaudan sosiaalisesti vetäytyneiden henkilöiden Hikikomero-keskustelupalstan itsemurha-aiheisiin viesteihin (n=2124). Aineiston analyysissä on sovellettu kvantitatiivista ja kvalitatiivista sisällönanalyysiä.
Tulosten perusteella vertaistuen ja vertaistiedon merkitys itsemurhan suunnittelussa on suuri. Keskustelupalstalta saadaan vastakaikua ja ymmärrystä omille mielipiteille. Valitettavaa on se, että useissa tapauksissa saatu vertaistuki ja vertaistieto ovat luonteeltaan negatiivisia ja rohkaisevat yrittämään itsemurhaa. Arvottomuuden ja avuttomuuden kokemus sekä tunne oman elämänhallinnan menettämisestä motivoivat itsemurhan tekemiseen. Toisaalta rohkeuden puute ja huoli läheisten surusta taas ovat itsemurhaa estäviä tekijöitä.
Typical Life of American Wife of the late 1800s: An Analysis of Kate Chopin’s “Story of an Hour” and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”
Authors: Michael Maria 
Published: June 2021

The life of the typical American women in the late 1800s was strictly confined to the four walls of a house. For a wife, marriage, husband and family were the destiny. She had no legal political right or voice in public sphere. They were not supposed to involve in any intellectual pursuits but only in domestic chores like cooking, sewing, cleaning etc. The condition of women in any class (upper, lower or middle) was more or less same. Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Kate Chopin were noted American writers of nineteenth century. Both writers outrageously expressed their strong views on women, marriage and sex. They were revolutionaries of their time. This paper is going to analyse how Kate Chopin’s “Story of an Hour” and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” depict typical public expectations about marriage and women of late 1800s. It also distinguishes the representation of women and wife in the nineteenth century patriarchal American society.

O queijo tipo Minas Frescal se enquadra em um dos mais consumidos, devido ao custo benefício oferecido aos consumidores. Levando em consideração o alto consumo na região e o elevado risco de contaminação do mesmo foi realizado o presente estudo a fim de analisar os produtos que estão dispostos à venda e identificar se há diferenças na qualidade microbiológica entre os queijos de produção artesanal e os de produção industrial. Foram analisadas 10 amostras de queijo minas frescal na cidade de Uberlândia-MG, sendo que 5 eram de produção artesanal e as outras 5 de produção industrial. Para a análise, foram realizadas as contagens de mesófilos, Staphylococcus coagulase positiva, coliformes totais e termotolerantes, avaliação da presença de Salmonella spp. e identificação de bactérias da família Enterobacteriaceae. De um modo geral, as amostras de produção industrial tiveram resultados melhores que o outro grupo, pois todas de produção artesanal estavam inadequadas em relação aos mesófilos. Além disso, três amostras deste grupo estavam com Coliformes a 45ºC e duas com Staphylococcus coagulase positivo acima do que é preconizado e uma com a presença de Salmonella spp. As principais bactérias encontradas foram: Serratia spp., Hafnia spp., Enterobacter spp. e Klebsiella. Das amostras envolvidas no estudo 90% estavam inapropriadas para o consumo, sendo que a única amostra adequada é de produção industrial.

Published: June 2021

Background:The goal of this retrospective study is to present the first epidemiological data on pediatric supratentorial central nervous system (CNS) tumors in Lebanon and to review the various surgical management strategies used.Methods:We conducted a retrospective case series of all pediatric patients who presented with a supratentorial CNS tumor and underwent surgery at our institution between 2006 and 2016. We collected and analyzed demographic characteristics, tumor location, clinical manifestations, histopathology, and surgical management strategies and outcome, and discussed them after dividing the tumors as per location and in view of published literature.Results:Ninety-nine children were studied with a male-to-female ratio of 2.3:1 and a mean age of 8.5 years. The most common location was convexity (44%) and included low-grade and high-grade glial tumors, along with other miscellaneous lesions. The next location was sellar/diencephalic (34%), including craniopharyngiomas, hypothalamic/optic pathway/thalamic gliomas, hamartomas, and pituitary/Rathke’s cyst, where there was notable use of endoscopic techniques (21%). Tumors in the pineal region (13%) were tectal gliomas, germ cell tumors, and pineoblastomas and were mostly treated endoscopically. The last group was lateral intraventricular tumors (8%) and was mostly choroid plexus lesions and ependymomas. Overall, the surgical objective was achieved in 95% with mild/moderate complications in 17%.Conclusion:A variety of pathologies may affect the pediatric population in the supratentorial region. Different surgical strategies, including microsurgical and endoscopic techniques, may be employed to remove, debulk, or biopsy these tumors depending on their location, suspected diagnosis, prognosis, and the need for treatment of possible associated hydrocephalus.
A case report of lymphocytic hypophysitis
Authors: Yu Stephen , Bethanabatla Ramakrishna , Taha Ahmed 
Published: June 2021

Background:
Lymphocytic hypophysitis (LH) is a rare condition that mostly affects women of the reproductive age. Because it is infrequently encountered, it is not often considered as a differential diagnosis of sellar masses. The diagnosis is made clinically with the aid of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and should be considered if the patient has endocrine derangements in addition to a sellar mass.

Case Description:
A 37-year-old female presents with a complaint of headaches and CT imaging showed a sellar mass. She was also being investigated simultaneously by the endocrine department and was diagnosed with panhypopituitarism. She proceeded to surgery for a presumed pituitary adenoma but histopathology returned as LH.

Conclusion:
It is important to have a wide differential diagnosis when managing pituitary masses. Clinical correlation with atypical MRI findings is useful to determine the diagnosis of LH.
Effect of tranexamic acid on blood loss, coagulation profile, and quality of surgical field in intracranial meningioma resection: A prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Authors: Ravi Gopala K. , Panda Nidhi , Ahluwalia Jasmina , Chauhan Rajeev , Singla Navneet , Mahajan Shalvi 
Published: June 2021

Background:
Resection of intracranial meningioma has been associated with significant blood loss. Providing a clear surgical field and maintaining hemodynamic stability are the major goals of anesthesia during meningioma surgery. Tranexamic acid has been used to reduce blood loss in various neurosurgical settings with limited evidence in literature. A randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of tranexamic acid on blood loss, coagulation profile, and quality of surgical field during resection of intracranial meningioma.

Methods:
Thirty patients aged 18–65 years undergoing elective meningioma resection surgery were given either tranexamic acid or placebo (0.9% saline), tranexamic acid at a loading dose of 20 mg/kg, and infusion of 1 mg/kg/h during surgery. The intraoperative blood loss, coagulation profile, and the surgical field using Likert scale were assessed.

Results:
The patients in tranexamic group had significantly decreased intraoperative blood loss compared to the placebo group (616.42 ± 393.42 ml vs. 1150.02 ± 416.1 ml) (P = 0.02). The quality of the surgical field was better in the tranexamic group (median score 4 vs. 2 on Likert Scale) (P < 0.001). Patients in tranexamic group had an improved coagulation profile and decreased blood transfusion requirement (p=0.016). The blood collected in closed suction drain in 24 h postsurgery was less in the tranexamic acid group compared to placebo group (84.7 ± 50.4 ml vs. 127.6 ± 62.2 ml) (P = 0.047).

Conclusion:
Tranexamic acid bolus followed by infusion reduces perioperative blood loss by 46.43% and blood transfusion requirement with improved surgical field and coagulation profile in patients undergoing intracranial meningioma resection surgery.

Purpose: This reseach endeavours to investigate the role of fiancial sector in determining the foreign direct inflows in pakistan. Design/Methodology/Approach: Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model is applied to conclude the nature of linear association among the variables, in this study, we have used time series data over the period 1980-2019 of Pakistan. A financial development index has been created to illustrate the financial development by using Principle Component Analysis (PCA). Robustness of the relation among variables is also checked, and incorporated this in the empirical model. Findings: The findings described very interesting implications, by exhibiting a positive association among FDI and economic growth in the presence of financial sector indicators. These conclusions hold notwithstanding in the presence or absence of Financial development Index. Therefore, the presence of strong financial sector is necessary to attract FDI and to smoothen the economic growth process.Implications/Originality/Value: The role of fiancial sector is indespensible in determining the economic activity. In addition to this, research at hand explore the inclusive nature of the relationships among foreign direct investment (FDI), Financial sector, and economic growth. It exhibits a reflection of the various sources of economic growth.
