Published: April 2021

Abstract. Characteristics of intraocular bleeding and its management in association with blood dyscrasias are discussed. We present a patient with massive bilateral choroidal hemorrhage secondary to Glanzmann's syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonographic findings were ordered. During the clinical course, bilateral intravitreal hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment occurred. Left pars plana vitrée - tomy was performed under general anaesthesia. The procedure was unsuccessful because of intraoperative uncontrolled bleeding.

Pars Plana Vitrectomy and Transscleral Fixation of Black Diaphragm Intraocular Lens for the Management of Traumatic Aniridia
Authors: Omulecki Wojciech , Synder Aleksandra 
Published: April 2021

* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Partial or complete aniridia occurring after severe ocular trauma is a difficult therapeutic problem. Diaphragm intraocular lenses were developed for the correction of aniridia, but the safety and efficacy of implanting such lenses are not well established in traumatic cases because of very few reports, and the small number of cases studied.
* PATIENTS AND METHODS: Six patients, 4 men and 2 women with a mean age of 44 years, were treated for traumatic aniridia using pars plana vitrectomy and transscleral fixation of a black diaphragm intraocular lens. Total aniridia was observed in 3 eyes and partial aniridia in 3 eyes. Four eyes were aphakic and severe lens subluxation was seen in 2 eyes. Vitreous hemorrhage coexisted in 2 patients and bacterial endophthalmitis was present in 1 patient. Follow-up time ranged between 4 and 39 months (mean, 23 months).
* RESULTS: Best-corrected visual acuity improved in 5 patients and 1 remained unchanged. Good visual acuity (20/20 - 20/40) was achieved in all cases and all lenses were well-centered. No severe complications were noted. Three of 6 patients required glaucoma topical medications pte- and postoperatively achieving good intraocular pressure control.
* CONCLUSION: The management of traumatic aniridia using pars plana vitrectomy and implantation of scleral fixation black diaphragm intraocular lenses seem to be safe. Very good functional results and lack of severe complications are encouraging. Additional cases with a longer follow-up study are necessary to support our opinion.

Authors: Eifrig Charles W G , Flynn Harry W , Scott Ingrid U , Newton Jean 
Published: April 2021

* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence rate of acute-onset postoperative endophthalmitis and to assess visual acuity outcomes after treatment from the most recent 7 years (19952001) compared with the previous 11 years (19841994) among patients undergoing intraocular surgery at the same institution.
* PATIENTS AND METHODS: The medical records were reviewed of all patients undergoing intraocular surgery at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2001.
* RESULTS: The 7-year incidence rate of acute-onset postoperative endophthalmitis was 0.05% (17 of 35,916 intraocular surgeries). The number of patients with endophthalmitis (incidence) and their median final visual acuity for each surgical category are as follows: cataract extraction: 8/21,972 (0.04%) - 20/100; glaucoma surgery: 4/1,970 (0.2%) - 20/70; penetrating keratoplasty: 2/2,362 (0.08%) - light perception; pars plana vitrectomy: 2/7,429 (0.03%) - hand movements; secondary intraocular lens placement: 1/485 (0.2%) - 20/40. Of the 8 cases of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery, 6 cases occurred after phacoemulsification and 2 of these cases had a clear corneal sutureless incision.
* CONCLUSION: The most recent 7-year incidence rate of acute-onset postoperative endophthalmitis is significantly lower than that of the previous 11 years (0.05% versus 0.09%; P=0.031) at the same institution. Visual acuity outcomes after treatment were generally better in cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, and secondary intraocular lens categories compared to pars plana vitrectomy and penetrating keratoplasty categories.

An Evaluation of Banks’ Liability in Robbery Incidents at Banks’ Premises in Nigeria
Authors: Garuba AO , Otomewo GOT 
Published: April 2021

The spate of armed robbery attack on banks in the last decade has been alarming. It is hoped with the current Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cashless policy there will be a drastic drop in such incidents. However, the issue of armed robbery attack at the bank premises brings to the fore two issues which are of paramount interest to the banker, customer and the general public. The issues are: (a) is the family of a bank customer killed by armed robbers in the banking hall during a transaction entitled to compensation? (b) Is a customer who is attacked by armed robbers in the banking hall and whose cash is snatched in the process of being lodged in; entitled to compensation from the bank? Therefore, the paper is aimed at examining banks’ liability in robbery incidents. The study adopts a theoretical approach and use of secondary data. The findings show that it is not in all cases that the customer will be compensated. It depends on the merit of the case and the stage the title in cash passes to the bank. Based on the findings it is recommended that banks’ should train their staff to be security conscious and how to behave in case of robbery attacks so as not to endanger their lives; and that of the customers.Key words: Liability, robbery, customer, security, cash and premises.
Socio-Cultural Conception of Albinism and Sexuality Challenges among Persons with Albinism (PWA) in South-West, Nigeria
Authors: Ikuomola AD 
Published: April 2021

The conception of albinism and the plight facing persons with albinism (PWA) in south-western Nigeria have long been viewed and overemphasised from a biomedical perspective. However, there is a lack of information on the socio-historical conception of albinism and the corollary effect on albinos’ sexuality challenges. This study examines the socio-cultural barriers affecting PWA in the formation of identity and sexual negotiations and relationships. The study was purely qualitative in nature, revealing the Yoruba myths, folktales and legends about albinos as both disabled and divine beings. This was highlighted as having a significant impact on their sexuality, associations, and relationships with persons with/out pigmentation defects. Men with albinism (MWA) were discovered to be more likely to get involved in relationships and possibly getting married especially if they are from a wealthy home. Similarly a better chance and strong familial support exist for a first-born son and for an only male child, than the females with albinism (FWA). This buttresses the patriarchal nature of the African society which emphasises much preference for the male born. From birth therefore, gender was narrated as a discriminatory factor. However, identity formation, association and getting involved in sexual relationships were major challenges affecting all PWA. For the female PWA the risk of being used for money making rituals; not knowing a sincere partner; their more fragile nature and perceived fear of societal objection and hatred in seeing a non-albino with an albino getting involved were highly traumatising. The study concluded that the sociocultural conception of albinism and albinos as disabled and spirit beings should be deconstructed to pave the way for effective expression of sexual relationships.

Seeing the development of the COVID-19 and the increasing number of new cases, WHO has published several updates, guidelines, and health protocols regarding this pandemic. The government of Indonesia has issued an appeal to the public to follow this health protocol. Various educational posters and videos have been widely published on social media, television stations and other communication media. One of the programs that the government always socializes during this pandemic is the implementation of Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) or Clean and Healthy Behavior. The purpose of this Virtual Integrative Community Service program is to find out the level of public knowledge about the importance of PHBS and traveling during a pandemic, especially in the AKB era. The methods used in this activity are surveys on community PHBS, surveys regarding travel activities during the pandemic, making PHBS videos and posters, and webinars on the use of herbs as an antistress and immunity enhancer. The partner community in this online KKN PPM activity is the Langensari village community, Solokanjeruk sub-district in particular and the general public who can access social media. The results of the traveling survey showed that out of 441 respondents, around 332 people did not have plans to travel. Of the 332 respondents who chose not to travel, around 229 respondents argued that they did not have a crucial interest, 142 respondents were worried about contracting COVID-19, 50 respondents said they did not have accommodation, and 102 respondents chose to continue traveling / traveling. The results of the PHBS survey are that most respondents have implemented PHBS with the most results being 99.3%, namely the choice of washing hands and using masks. Respondents who answered no to the third question gave answers to the causes of this in the form of lack of access to information (3.4%), laziness (6.9%), and lack of care (4.1%). The group activities of the 25 KKN-PPM Virtual Integrative have been carried out well and can increase community knowledge of PHBS and health protocols when traveling during a pandemic and increase knowledge about the use and manufacture of herbs to increase immunity.

Objective:Pakistan ranks among the countries with highest neonatal mortality rate. Birth related event (Asphyxia neonatorum) is one of the three most common causes of neonatal mortality worldwide. Effective resuscitation during the Golden Minute can improve the mortality and morbidity. In Pakistan, a training programme NeoLiS (Neonatal Life Support) was developed in 2008 which was based on guidelines of ILCOR. The objective of this study was to assess the improvement in knowledge of healthcare professionals attending Neonatal Life Support training workshop.
Methods:It was a retrospective cross sectional study that was conducted in the Neonatology Department of the Children’s Hospital, Lahore. A total of 52 workshops were conducted in 2017-18 in which 1350 health professionals were participated including doctors, nurses and paramedics. Data of all the training workshops were analysed in the study. Knowledge was tested through true/false questionnaires. The results of pre-course test were compared with respective post-course test by entering the data in SPSS and significance in improvement of knowledge was calculated by applying paired t-test. p-value <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Mean of pre-course and post-course results of all the participants were calculated and post-course results showed significant improvement in knowledge as compared to pre-course tests. Similarly, paired t-test was performed for all the results of doctors,nurses and paramedics on individual basis. The p-value in all groups was < 0.01 which was statistically significant.
Conclusion: Neonatal Life Support (NeoLiS) training course resulted in significant gain in knowledge about neonatal resuscitation by healthcare professionals when assessed

Paediatric paediatric tracheostomy: Changing indications and key complications
Authors: Movio Guilherme , Ahmed Ms Shadaba 
Published: April 2021

Background: Paediatric Tracheostomy is a procedure used to ventilate children through a hole in the trachea. Indications for the procedure were once primarily for acute upper airway obstruction due to infections but have now changed. Generally, there is poor knowledge surrounding tracheostomies and a limited knowledge of guidelines amongst health-care professionals.
Aim: The aim of this review is to discuss the basis of changes to the indications of paediatric tracheostomy. It will also investigate the key complications related to the procedure and discuss the importance of multidisciplinary teams being aware of the emergency algorithms for dealing with such complications.
Findings: Indications have changed due to advancements in medicine with increased life expectancy and survival rates for children with often life threatening congenital conditions. Tracheostomies can offer these children long term ventilatory support. Upper airway obstructions due to infections are now infrequently indicated for tracheostomy due to successful vaccination programs. Complications today are because of obstructions and decannulations. Intra-operative complications are infrequent, due to refinements in surgical technique.
Conclusion: Paediatric Tracheostomy is a rapidly evolving field because of continuous advancements in neonatal and intensive care medicine. The indications and complications have changed together over the last four decades. A greater understanding of tracheostomy complications is requiredfor successful management.
The unexplored potential of virtual reality for cultural learning
Authors: Berti Margherita 
Published: April 2021

<p>Educational technology tools that improve learning and foster engagement are constantly sought by teachers and researchers. In the domain of Computer-Assisted Language Learning a variety of tools, for instance blogs and podcasts, have been used to promote language and cultural learning (Shih, 2015). More recently, virtual reality has been identified as a technology with great potential for the creation of meaningful and contextualized learning experiences. Despite the learning affordances of virtual reality, in language education most of the literature has focused on the low-immersive version, whereas research investigating highly immersive virtual environments has only emerged in recent years (e.g., Berti, 2019; Blyth, 2018). In other fields, the use of highly immersive virtual reality has been compared to traditional pedagogical resources and demonstrated that students’ learning improved with the use of virtual environments as compared to two-dimensional video and textbook learning conditions (Allcoat &amp; von Mühlenen, 2018). Considering the potential learning benefits of this technology, this paper argues that longitudinal empirical research in language education is strongly needed to investigate its potential unexplored impact on language and cultural learning.</p>

Penggunaan gipsum sebagai pelindung tulang patah dirasakan karena ketidak nyamanan disebabkana kelembapan, atau dengan kata lain gipsum sangat dirugikan apabila terkena air. Telah diupayakan penelitian-penelitian yang menggunakan bahan dasar bio-material dan tiruan yang aman bagi kesehatan manusia dengan pendekatan dari fungsi lain seperti bahan penyusun gusi gigi yang terbuatdari polimer, seperti bahan dasar gigi tiruan yang berbahan resin akrilik. Resin Akrilik (HC) Heat Cured digunakan karena memiliki sifat anti toksik, anti iritasi, tidak mudah larut dalam mulut, baik dalam estetik, kemudahan dalam manipulasi dan diperbaiki serta perubahan dimensinya kecil. Dimana perbandingan resin akrilik (gr) dan gliserol (mL) sebesar (1:0,8) dan serat agave sisalana sebesar 20%, 30%, dan 40% (m/v). Kekuatan Flexural komposit tertinggi pada serat sisal yang 30% sebesar 181.09 N/mm2, serta terendah serat 20% sebesar 154.11 N/mm2, sedangkan serat sisal 40% sebesar 165.61 N/mm2. Menunjukan bahwa penambahan Serat mampu meningkatkan kekuatan Flexural, tetapi bila melampaui nilai maksimum maka penambahan Serat akan menurunkan kekuatannya sehingga nilai ikatan menurun yang memungkinkan terjadinya ruang mikroporositas resin akrilik heat cured terisi oleh residu sisa. Hasil analisis uji Levene diperoleh probabilitas 0,664, berarti data tersebut homogen. Sedangkan analisis dengan One-Way Anova diperoleh F hitung 2,598.

Premature rupture of membranes is rupture of membranes in pregnant women before any sign of labor. The direct cause of maternal death in Indonesia is 27% due to premature rupture of membranes which can ultimately lead to complications in puerperium. Based on the 2017 Riskesdas data, the Maternal Mortality Rate was 348 per 100,000 live births in 2015. In 2018 Jember district has a higher maternal mortality rate than the province. In 2018 at the Silo Health Center in Jember District, there were 239 cases of premature rupture of membranes in pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to study and explain the description of the incidence of premature rupture of membranes in pregnant women.
The research design used is case control through a retrospective approach. The population in this study were 275 third trimester pregnant women with 153 mothers experiencing premature rupture of membranes and 122 who did not experience premature rupture of membranes. The sample size in this study was 122 cases and 122 controls. The control sample was taken by simple random sampling. Data collection was performed using medical records. The analysis of this study used univariate, bivariate using Chi Square (X²) and multivariate with Simple Logistic Regression test.
In this study, the variables that influence the occurrence of premature rupture of membranes are age, occupation, parity, multiple pregnancy, fetal abnormalities, birth spacing and history of KPD with p value <0.05. The most dominant variable on the occurrence of premature rupture of membranes is the history of KPD with OR = 40.137: 95% CI and p value 0.000 so that different proportions of cases and controls are significant in the sense that there is a significant influence between the history of KPD on the incidence of premature rupture of membranes. So it is expected for third trimester pregnant women to be more diligent in doing ANC (Antenatal Care) in the next pregnancy.

Published: April 2021

A contaminação do solo atua como um dos principais problemas no que se refere ao destino inadequado dos resíduos sólidos, o que possivelmente provoca alteração a fatores de qualidade ambiental. Considerando esse processo, o estudo buscou verificar a qualidade ambiental do solo da área sob o aterro controlado do município de Corrente-PI. Através de visita in loco buscou-se identificar os possíveis meios de contaminação do solo, avaliando a disposição dos resíduos, a topografia do local e verificação das técnicas de proteção ao solo/ambiente. No que se refere à disposição dos resíduos sólidos do município identifica-se como irregular, possivelmente provocando a contaminação do solo por não executar o tratamento prévio adequado dos resíduos além da falha no controle quanto à classe de resíduos depositados e a ocorrência do descarte direto sob o solo da área sem medidas de proteção. Tendo em destaque o aspecto topográfico da área no qual observou-se o relevo suave, de modo ao qual possibilita minimizar o processo de erosão do solo e que possivelmente facilitaria na manutenção dos componentes do sistema de drenagem, impedindo o incremento de possíveis fatores de contaminação do solo. Diante dos fatores que se encontram irregular na área sob o aterro controlado alguns visam à utilização de um planejamento integral na gestão dos resíduos sólidos no qual se encontram em estado de deficiência na destinação final de tais resíduos, visando promover como subsidio para minimizar possíveis meios de contaminação do solo. A identificação e monitoramento dos resíduos que são depositados na área podem ser realizados de maneira que estabeleça um controle que possa intervir na contaminação do solo na área, mediante diagnóstico detalhado visando os riscos que os resíduos podem causar e possivelmente uma investigação confirmatória dos possíveis fatores que alteram a qualidade do solo.
