Published: April 2019

Abstract
The analysis of accident scenarios in a nuclear power plant and consequently a review of the proper functioning of safety systems is very importance. In this paper, an analysis of a anticipated transient without scram has been done in the Loss of flow scenario with modeling the VVER-1000 reactor of Bushehr by MELCOR1.8.6 code. The chronological sequence of the different steps and the history of the parameters under this accident calculated with the code are evaluated. Parameters such as temperature and pressure changes in the primary and secondary circuit, temperature changes of fuel and fuel clad are calculated as well as a comparison with the melting temperature. Also, the rate of hydrogen production and pouring molten material into the reactor cavity is calculated. This information is very useful for managing the ATWS accident and controlling the reactor. Also, this results to assess Bushehr nuclear power plant. The results show that thermodynamic parameters of pressure and temperature passes the limit without any accident management.

Authors: Büke T. , Köne A. Ç. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The health impacts and corresponding damage costs of radioactive emission of Muğla province lignite-fired power plants have been assessed by using the simplified impact pathway approach. Radiation dose and risk calculations have been carried out by the code CAP88-PC around the power plants. Specific isotopes, 238U, 232Th, 226Ra and 40K in the flying ash samples are considered as radioactive sources. Power plants intersecting regions are also considered in the collective dose calculation. The estimated total collective dose around Muğla province due to Yatağan, Yeniköy and Kemerköy power plants is 5.25 × 10−2 man.Sv/year. The total health effects damage cost around the Muğla province due to the radioactive emissions from the power plants is 2504.3 US $ 2000/year. The results obtained from the calculations are under the dose limits of International Commission of Radiation Protection and it does not any risk for public health around the plant environment.
Relationship of Pure Tone Audiometry and Ossicular Discontinuity in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media
Authors: Carrillo Ryner Jose C. , Yang Nathaniel W. , Abes Generoso T. 
Published: April 2019

Background: Pure tone audiometry is routinely used to determine conductive and sensorineural hearing status. Ossicular discontinuity is usually assessed intra-operatively. If ossicular discontinuity can be predicted by pure tone audiometry, perhaps the operative procedure of choice and prognosis for hearing can also be anticipated.

Objective: To determine the predictive value of preoperative pure tone audiometry on the presence of gross ossicular discontinuity in chronic otitis media.

Methods: Records of 205 patients, 7 to 75 years of age undergoing their first operation for chronic otitis media were reviewed. Preoperative audiograms and operative records for tympanomastoidectomy were evaluated. A total of 162 patients meeting inclusion criteria were included in the study.
Likelihood ratios for positive and negative ossicular discontinuity for frequency-specific air-bone gap cut-offs were determined. Multiple logistic regression analysis for pure tone audiometry and operative findings to predict ossicular discontinuity was performed and a model for predicting ossicular discontinuity using logistic regression obtained.

Results and Conclusion: Frequency-specific air bone gap (ABG) cut-off values can predict ossicular discontinuity in chronic suppurative otitis media namely: < 20 dB ABG at 500 Hz predicts absence of ossicular discontinuity while > 50 dB ABG at 500 Hz, >30 dB ABG at 2 KHz, and > 50 dB ABG at 4 KHz best predict the presence of ossicular discontinuity in general.
In the absence of cholesteatoma, the air bone gaps of <30 dB at 500 Hz and <20 dB at 1 KHz
decrease probability of ossicular discontinuity from 32.97% to 2.54%. Combination of air bone
gaps of >50 dB at 500 Hz, >20 dB at 2 KHz and >40 dB at 4 KHz increase the probability of ossicular discontinuity from 32.97% to 85.9%. These findings suggest that ossicular exploration may not be necessary for the former while an evaluation of the ossicular chain may be mandatory for the latter in the setting where cholesteatoma is not present or suspected.
Presence of cholesteatoma, granulation tissue and size of tympanic membrane perforation
are important factors to consider in predicting ossicular discontinuity.

Low Dose, Short-Term Oral Methylprednisolone for Nasal Polyps: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial
Authors: Sanchez Romeo C. , Campomanes Benjamin SA. , Aguilar Natividad A. 
Published: April 2019

Objectives: To determine the efficacy of a 7-day treatment of methylprednisolone 16mg in
reducing the size of nasal polyps and on improvement of nasal symptoms.

Methods:
Design: Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial
Setting: Out-patient department of the East Avenue Medical Center
Patients: Patients 18 years old and above with nasal polyposis determined by history and endoscopic examination

Results: There was a significant decrease in polyp size by an average of 16% (P < .05) among 12 out of the 23 patients (52.17 %) in the steroid group versus placebo. The treatment group also exhibited an improvement in nasal symptoms of rhinorrhea, congestion and anosmia compared to the placebo.

Conclusion: Medical treatment with oral methylprednisolone given at a low dose of 16 mg for one week resulted in reduction of the size of nasal polyps and improved the symptoms of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion and anosmia. Other associated symptoms like headache, epistaxis, sneezing, itchiness, epiphora, cough, postnasal drip, throat discomfort, facial pain, eye complaints and fever did not differ between the steroid and placebo groups.

Recommendation: One week of oral steroids can be used to treat nasal polyps initially. If there is response, this mode of management can be combined with a long-term course of intranasal steroid sprays9,10. Patients who do not respond may be referred for surgery.

Keywords: Nasal polyposis, methylprednisolone, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, anosmia
Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Mandible
Authors: Roldan Rodante A. , Llanes Erasmo Gonzalo DV. , Villarta Romeo L. 
Published: April 2019

Objectives: 1] To describe a case of an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma presenting as a radiolucent mandibular mass in a 3-year-old child. 2] To review existing literature on the clinical picture and pathophysiology of intraosseous rhabdomyosarcoma. 3] To identify learning points in the diagnosis of intraosseous rhabdomyosarcoma.

Design: Case report.

Setting: A tertiary referral hospital.

Patients: One (1)

Results: A case of a 3-year-old child with a radiolucent mandibular mass is described. The final histopathologic report turned out to be embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Intraosseous rhabdomyosarcomas are rare occurrences (3.5% in one review), and clinically present in younger age groups, with a non-tender, enlarging, firm-hard mass over a specific area. A review of the available literature on intraosseous rhabdomyosarcomas, and its proposed pathogenesis, is presented.

Conclusion: A case of a radiolucent mandibular mass in a 3-year-old child is presented. Intraosseous rhabdomyosarcomas of the mandible are rare occurrences that pose challenges to the otorhinolaryngologist. Taken separately, the presentation, patient characteristics, clinical course, ancillary laboratories and imaging modalities may lead even the most astute otorhinolaryngologist astray. The whole clinical picture should be taken together so that the correct diagnosis will not be missed despite the rare presentation.

Odontogenic Ghost Cell Carcinoma of the Maxilla
Authors: Lim Ella C. , Carnate Jose M. , Avila Jose Ma. C. 
Published: April 2019

This is from a 39-year-old male with a 26-six-year history of a maxillary mass, recurring after excision, 10cm in widest diameter, solid and cystic.

Odontogenic ghost cell carcinomas (OGCC) are rare and only a dozen or so have been reported in the literature. This tumor appears to be more common in Asians based on the cases that have been reported and is more common in the maxilla than the mandible. Histologically, elements of a benign calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) can be identified in all the malignant variants, either separated or admixed with the malignant epithelial component. The biological behavior of the tumour is unpredictable, with some cases characterized by relatively indolent growth and others by a locally aggressive and potentially fatal course. The tumour apparently arises most often from malignant transformation of a preexisting benign COC, although it may also develop from other odontogenic tumours. The section shows cords and islands of stellate reticulum displaying peripheral palisading of ameloblasts. There are numerous polygonal cells that have eosinophilic cytoplasm and indistinct cellular detail (“ghost cells”). Calcified dental matrix is also present. Although cytologic atypia appears mild, the borders are infiltrative.
Intravascular Lymphoma of the Inferior Turbinate: An Unusual Rhinologic Presentation of a Rare Neoplasm
Authors: Lingan Milabelle B. , Roasa Francis V. 
Published: April 2019

Objective: To present a unique case of intravascular lymphoma of the inferior turbinate because of its rarity, unusual clinical presentation and difficulty in establishing a diagnosis.
Design: Case Report
Setting: A tertiary hospital
Patient: A 66-year-old male admitted to the hospital due to intermittent high grade fever of six months duration.
Result: The patient presented with fever of unknown origin, and exhaustive laboratory, ancillary procedures and biopsies to rule in/out infectious, autoimmune and oncologic causes were performed to arrive at a diagnosis. Nasal endoscopy revealed an enlarged, hypertrophied and violaceous right inferior turbinate with watery to mucoid discharge and septal deviation to the right confirmed by CT scans of the paranasal sinuses. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), septoplasty and turbinoplasty with biopsy revealed Intravascular Lymphoma. Chemotherapy was deferred due to the deteriorating medical condition and the patient expired 7 months after the initial onset of symptoms.
Conclusion: Patients who present with fever of unknown origin should undergo a thorough otorhinolaryngologic examination to exclude primary ENT conditions and ensure proper management. Given its rarity and multiplicity of presentation, it is extremely difficult to make a diagnosis of intravascular lymphoma. A high index of suspicion of Intravascular Lymphoma is necessary so that timely acquisition of tissue biopsy of any lesion involved will make a definite diagnosis.

Total Parathyroidectomy: A Surgical Management for Uncontrolled Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in a Patient with End Stage Renal Disease
Authors: Madrid Jeanne O. , Ureta Celso V. 
Published: April 2019

Objective: To present the case of an adult patient with end stage renal disease who underwent total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation for uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism
Methods:
Design: Case Report
Setting: Tertiary Hospital
Patient: One
Result: Total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation resulted in decrease in parathyroid hormone from a pre-operative value of 1,347pg/mL (15-65 pg/mL) to 28.05 pg/mL. Pruritus disappeared two days after the surgery. Phosphorus and calcium levels were within normal values four days and two months post-operatively, respectively.
Conclusion: Total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation may be a viable surgical option for controlling secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with end stage renal disease and may play an important role in reducing morbidity and mortality among patients with end-stage renal disease.

A 41-year-old Female Presenting with Sicca Syndrome
Authors: Tan Laurence Ian , Lapeña José Florencio F. 
Published: April 2019

Objective: To describe a case of Sicca syndrome, review the literature on and discuss the diagnostic criteria for Sjögren Syndrome.
Methods:
Design: Case report
Setting: Private Clinic
Patients: One
Results: A 41-year-old female presenting with throat dryness, dry eyes, bilateral parotid enlargement, vaginal dryness and multiple joint pains previously seen by four specialists over three decades was finally diagnosed with Sjögren syndrome.
Conclusion: Sjögren syndrome presents uncommonly. As the presentation and clinical course should be taken as a whole, and no single test can be considered as a gold standard for its diagnosis, the disease entity may actually be under diagnosed, misdiagnosed or frequently present as diagnostic dilemmas. A comprehensive history and physical examination beyond the usual focus of the otorhinolaryngologic evaluation is the key for the astute clinician. Our experience may indicate a need for further evaluation of the EU revised criteria for Sjögren syndrome classification in the local setting.

A Preliminary Study on the Efficacy of Plumeria acuminata (Kalachuchi) Bark Extract Ointment versus Clotrimazole Cream in the Treatment of Otomycosis
Authors: Boncalon Rhoda Mae V. , Arugay Marida Arend V. , Ramos Rachel Zita H. 
Published: April 2019

Objective: To compare the therapeutic efficacy of kalachuchi (Plumeria acuminata Ait.) bark extract ointment (KO) and clotrimazole cream 1% (CC) in the treatment of otomycosis.
Methods:
Design: Randomized double blind controlled trial
Setting: Outpatient otorhinolaryngology clinic of a tertiary private hospital
Subjects: Patients aged 18-years-old and above diagnosed clinically to have otomycosis with a positive potassium hydroxide (KOH) smear were randomly assigned to kalachuchi (Plumeria acuminata Ait.) bark extract ointment or clotrimazole cream 1% in unlabeled containers. Self-application thrice daily for two weeks followed initial detailed instructions and demonstration. Symptoms, physical findings and repeat KOH smears were recorded after the first and second weeks of treatment.
Results: Eighteen patients with otomycosis were enrolled in the study. There was one dropout per treatment group with no intention to treat. There were no statistically significant differences between KO and CC, with 75% (n=8) and 87.5% (n=8) cure rates, respectively. One subject in the KO arm reported severe ear pain.
Conclusion: Kalachuchi extract ointment may be a promising topical antifungal agent. Multicenter clinical trials to establish its efficacy and safety as an effective alternative in the management of otomycosis should be conducted.
