Authors: Hasan Md Habibul , Islam Md Shahidul , Mahmud Manjur E , Haider Ismat Ara , Begum Fatema 
Published: September 2019

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic debilitating disease of the oral cavity characterized by inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the submucosal tissues. It is a precancerous condition of the oral mucosa characterized by excessive production of collagen leading to inelasticity of the oral mucosa and atrophic changes of the epithelium. A wide range of treatment including drug management, surgical therapy, and physiotherapy have been attempted till date, with varying degrees of benefit, but none have been able to cure this disease.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of Intralesional 'Dexamethasone Plus Hyaluronidase plus Placental extract in comparison to intralesional injections of 'Dexamethasone plus Hyaluronidase in the management of OSMF patients.
Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with OSMF were randomly divided equally into two groups. Fifteen patients in 'Dexamethasone plus Hyaluronidase(Group-I)' group received biweekly intralesional injections of Dexamethasone (4mg/ml) plus Hyaluronidase 1500 IU in buccal mucosa for a period of 12 weeks. Other Fifteen patients in'Dexamethasone plus Hyaluronidase plus placental extract (Group-II)' group received biweekly intralesional injections of Dexamethasone (4mg/ml) plus Hyaluronidase 1500 IU plus placental extract in buccal mucosa for a period of 12 weeks. Parameters taken in the study were burning sensation, and mouth opening. Descriptive statistics, paired t test and unpaired t test were used for statistical analysis.
Results: The pre- and post-treatment Differences were found to be statistically not significant for both the groups (p<0.001) and for both the treatment outcomes.
Conclusion: In the present study, the efficacy of Intralesional 'Dexamethasone Plus Hyaluronidase plus Placental extract' showed no superiority over intralesional injections of 'Dexamethasone plus Hyaluronidase' in the management of OSMF patients.

Published: September 2019

Aims. Traumatic basal ganglia haemorrhage is rare entity but post traumatic bilateral basal ganglia hematoma is even extremely rare and was earlier presented as case reports. Its incidence is about 3% after a closed head injury however, the incidence is higher in post mortem studies.
Material & Methods. Out of 1485 head injury patients admitted to our institute from January 2012 to January 2019, there were 9 cases of traumatic bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage. The incidence of traumatic bilateral basal ganglia Haemorrhage in our series is 0.61% which is very less compared to previous literature.
Results. There were 6 males and 3 females; age ranging from 19 to 50 years (average 32 years). Patients with hypertension, history of drugs abuse, history of coagulopathy, with doubtful history of trauma or unknown mode of injury were excluded from the study. The mode of injury in all the patients was road traffic accidents. Average follow up was 9.54 months. Outcome was assessed by Glasgow outcome Score. In 8 out of 9 patients, outcome was good. One patient died. All the nine cases were managed conservatively.
Conclusion. We report nine cases from a single institute which to the best of our knowledge is the largest series in world literature. Prognosis is variable and dependent on many factors. The prognosis of TBGH is favourable if not associated with other disorders like hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and coagulation disorders or diffuse axonal injury.

Published: September 2019

Introduction. Seizure following meningioma surgery is common and management may be challenging. Identifying risk factors may help physicians to initiate optimal medical management. The aim of this study is to report seizure outcome and risk factors for perioperative seizure.
Materials and Methods. Sixty-three adult patients who underwent supratentorial meningioma resection were included, and perioperative data and long-term follow-up were provided in this retrospective study. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for perioperative seizure and postoperative late seizure.
Results. The results showed that 20 (37.1 %) patients had preoperative seizure and 10 (50 %) patients were seizure free at the long-term follow-up. Absence of headache was associated with preoperative seizure (p=0.002) while presence of early seizure was significant predictor for postoperative late seizure (p=0.03). Although not significant, occurrence of surgical complications (p=0.08) and non-skull base location (p=0.06) tended toward being a significant risk factor for postoperative late seizure.
Conclusion. Presence of early seizures, surgical complications and locations out of skull base may direct postoperative anti-epileptic treatment to decrease seizure incidence which, indeed, increases quality of life for patients with meningioma.

Published: September 2019

Background. Ewing’s sarcoma is a bony highly malignant tumour, it occurs most frequently in the second decade of life. Ewing’s sarcoma is a rare affection, located usually in the pelvis, the femur, the humerus, the ribs, the mandible and clavicle, other location are rare especially in the spine. We report three cases of spinal Ewing’s sarcoma, two primary spine locations and one on young adult with unusual clinical presentation.
Cases presentation
Case 1. The first patient is a girl of 14 years old without past medical history. She presented initially two months before consultation a neck pain followed days after by a weakness of the left upper limb; the spine imaging performed objectified a destructive process of C2 with a spinal cord compression. The patient was operated beneficiating of a spinal cord decompression and a subtotal removal of the tumour. The pathologist’s results were in favour of Ewing’s sarcoma and the patient was oriented to oncology.
Case 2. The second patient is a man of 31 years old operated five years before he consulted for shoulder Ewing’s sarcoma followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, he presented two months before consultation a cauda equina syndrome. Spine MRI objectified a double location of an epidural tumour at T3-T4 and S1-S2 levels. The patient was operated beneficiating of subtotal removal of the tumour. The laboratory exam results were in favour of Ewing’s sarcoma and the patient was oriented to oncology.
Case 3. The third patient is a 6 years old boy who presented a 1 month history of low back pain followed by a rapidly deteriorating weakness of both lower limbs over a weak. On examination there was bilateral spastic paraplegia, hypoesthesia below the level of Th10 and a urinary retention. The MRI imaging revealed a lesion on the levels Th8, Th9 and Th10 vertebras involving the body, pedicle, lamina, and the transverse process on the left side with an epidural invasion compressing the spinal cord. The tumour was radically removed. Pathology report was in favour of Ewing’s sarcoma. Two weeks after surgery the patient was able to walk. He was referred for adjuvant systemic chemotherapy.
Conclusion. Ewing’s sarcoma is rare malignant tumour. The location in the spine exposes the patient to more complications because of the neurostructures compression. The surgical total removal followed by radio and chemotherapy is the only option with the best prognostic and guaranties an acceptable life quality.

Published: September 2019

Hemangioblastomas (HBLs) are highly vascular and cystic benign neoplasms. They form very small part of intracranial tumours and are often localized in the posterior fossa. Although most of them are sporadic, a significant group is accompanied with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome.
This case report presents a 57-year-old woman treated with total resection using micro-surgical technique and was diagnosed as HBL based on histopathologic findings. Contrast-enhanced cranial MRI of the patient with the complaints of spasms in the right side of body showed a right paracentral mass that caused midline shift.
In literature, the previously reported cases of supratentorial HBL unaccompanied with VHL syndrome were searched in PUBMED, compiled and presented. It should be borne in mind that rare HBLs manifesting with various neurological symptoms may occur in the supratentorial region, and may not accompany with VHL syndrome.
Des adolescents vecteurs de messages nutritionnels au sein de leur famille. L’éducation alimentaire au collège

Teenagers as vectors of nutritional messages in their families. Food education at middle school.
Whether through local food education actions in schools or national nutritional policies, public authorities task teenagers with sharing food practices deemed beneficial for health with their families. This role is especially encouraged by food education actions implemented in middle school. An ethnographic study, conducted between 2010 and 2012 in two year-8 classes at two middle schools from different socioeconomic levels and in the homes of thirty-five families, examined the “messenger” role young teenagers can play in their families concerning the food education project they participated in. Teenagers are at an intersection of sometimes contradictory norms that come from school (as representative of national nutritional policies), the family, and peers. However, the role of messenger was only endorsed by a small number of teenagers in certain conditions, such as when they had a family environment open to discussion or a close relationship with the school. The age, gender, and social background of those surveyed also seemed to be three decisive characteristics in the teenagers’ decision as whether or not to play the role of messenger.

Authors: Eduardo Oyama  , Daniel Mota  
Published: September 2019

A lot of countries have difficulty in combating Ae. aegypti, due to the high adaptability of this mosquito to the urban area. The National Program for Dengue Control (PNCD) is responsible for allocating the most activities to combat Ae. aegypti in districts of Brazil (basic sanitation, education, chemical control). Despite the technological advances in the 21th century, there was little social commitment with the conception of a formal device in the fight against Ae. aegypti. Senai-Cimatec developed a trap (Lethal Ovitrap CimatecTM) based on new technologies to control Aedes aegypti. So, the aim of this study was to compare the traditional traps on the market with the LOCTM trap, created
by Cimatec. We performed two experiments to evaluate the performance of the traps against the mosquitoes. The tests occurred in a monitored and closed environment at the Central Laboratory of Bahia (Entomology Laboratory) (LACEN/BA). The larvae, water, and substrate for the experiment in the three containers had the same origin; three cages were kept in the entomology sector with the same conditions of temperature and humidity. The results showed that LOCTM has several advantages when compared to the traditional traps, such as: capacity to eliminate the immature forms of the vector in a few hours; entrapment and extermination of larvae and/or adults forms by asphyxiation; high lethality for mosquitoes and ability to reduce the Aedes population in an area by removing from the environment future generations of mosquitoes; installation; it is attractive to mosquitoes; no needs of weekly monitoring; no power consumption; simple manipulation and low-cost; water as a protection factor and not as a risk factor; it does not use insecticide or any toxic agent harmful to human health. So, the use of LOCTM has advantages over traditional traps, directing the biotechnology market to new solutions with low-cost, easy to handle and non-toxic to man and the environment in the fight agains Ae. aegypti

DNA extraction is a series of processes to separate DNA from other cell components. Extraction is the most crucial early stage in molecular research. There are two methods in DNA extraction: traditional organic extraction and non-organic adoption extraction method. Traditional organic extraction method are used by many laboratories to obtain amount of high-yield DNA. However, in recent years it has been a tendency to adopt non-organic commercial protocols, known as extraction kit. This method was relatively faster, low times-consuming and avoid the toxicity due to phenol use. This study aims to determine the steps of DNA extraction to obtain total DNA from muscle tissue of fish grouper using Extraction Kit for Animal Tissue. The Kit extraction method has an advantages that is the processing time is shorter, simple, non-toxic and high-purity DNA yields. A total of 4 tissue samples from grouper muscle were successfully extracted using an Extraction Kit that was indicated by the visualization of the band on qualitative DNA analysis in 1% agarose gel.

The use of fundamental components of multipurpose cadastre which can be used as basic information and backbone for government policy with geographical information system as a tool are applied in this research method to appraisecampus room. The process to appraise of the facilities in a room begins with collecting facilities data which related to attribute data and defining room boundary which related to spatial data. Room appraisal are analysed by firstly calculate room valuebasedon facilities and activity hours.The method to calculate room value is comparison of quantity and functionality of facilities in every room. Thorough analysis is conducted to separate room value data containing human errors. The determination of which category (high, medium, low) every room fit in is based on distribution of value of every room value which is free of human errors. Room appraisal using this research method will lead to optimize every campus room especially low category room. This approach is also effective way to record number of rooms and facilities of campus comprehensively.

Published: September 2019

The consumption of diesel fuel in Indonesia is increasing every year, one way to overcome this problem is to use natural bioaditive in the form of essential oils found in Indonesia. Essential oils used in this study are fragrant lemongrass because fragrant lemongrass contains carboxylic compounds (-COOH) [1,2,3]. With the aim of improving engine performance and reducing fuel consumption. This research was conducted by mixing fragrant citronella oil with diesel oil with a percentage of 1%, 0.5% and 0.1% of the total volume. Diesel engines are operated with variations in loading 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800 and 2000 W at a constant engine speed of 1500 rpm. The variables measured and calculated in this experiment are power, torque, Break Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP), Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC). The results showed that adding citronella oil to diesel fuel with a percentage of 1%, 0.5% and 0.1% significantly reduced fuel consumption by 15.5%, 3.6% and 2.6% respectively. The maximum reduction in fuel consumption reaches 0.055 liters / hour at 200W loading with a bioaditive level of 0.1%. The next study planned is to mix clove oil and citronella oil as bioaditive so that it is expected to reduce fuel consumption and engine corrosion.

Published: September 2019

Pada penelitian ini, peneliti bermaksud untuk meneliti salah satu dampak dari online game yang timbul akibat adanya transaksi mikro, yakni perilaku belanja online yang bermasalah. Transaksi mikro merupakan fitur di dalam online game untuk mendapatkan kemampuan dan barang lebih sehingga memudahkan mereka dalam bermain, dan fitur tersebut diperoleh dengan cara membeli menggunakan uang di dunia nyata. Peneliti melibatkan 474 partisipan (55,6% perempuan) remaja yang berusia antara 14 - 18 tahun. Partisipan kemudian diminta untuk mengisi kuesioner yang berisi Compulsive Online Shopping Scale atau COSS (α = 0,926) dan menyebutkan apakah mereka menggunakan transaksi mikro atau tidak dalam bermain online game. Hasil uji Mann-Whitney menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan perilaku belanja kompulsif online pada kelompok pengguna transaksi mikro dan kelompok bukan pengguna transaksi mikro (p = 0,715 > 0,05). Hal ini karena remaja hanya menggunakan transaksi mikro sesekali, dan faktor yang menyebabkan remaja terjebak dalam perilaku belanja kompulsif adalah penguatan dari sebaya dan mencontoh dari orangtua. Sedangkan dalam bermain online game, kepuasan yang diperoleh dalam menggunakan transaksi mikro diperoleh secara internal, bukan eksternal seperti dari sebaya atau orangtua. Peneliti menyarankan agar orangtua tetap memantau remaja dalam bermain online game. Dan dalam penelitian selanjutnya, beberapa variabel kontrol bisa dilibatkan seperti frekuensi mengunakan transaksi mikro dalam sebulan dan genre dari online gameyang dimainkan.

Ємнісні накопичувачі, як необхідний складовий елемент, знаходять широке застосування в різноманітних електротехнічних установках і системах. Аналіз відомих підходів збільшення ККД зарядного кола показав, що вони пов’язані з певними труднощами. Наприклад, зарядні пристрої із джерелами, регульованими за певним законом напруги, є складними і їхнє застосування може бути виправдано лише у виняткових випадках. Крім перетворювача, що узгоджує джерело енергії та ємнісний накопичувач, потрібні додаткові реактивні елементи, що запасають енергію і підтримують на одному рівні вхідну і вихідну потужності протягом процесу зарядження. Ця вимога грає істотну роль у випадку застосування джерела обмеженої потужності. У більшості випадків енергетичні процеси заряду конденсатора аналізувались при нульових початкових умовах.
Максимальний ККД може бути досягнутий при незмінній формі вхідного та вихідного струму. Для досягнення максимального ККД перетворювача ємнісний накопичувач в початковий відрізок часу повинен запасати енергію, щоб в кінці заряду віддати запасену енергію для підтримання струму зарядження.
Вітроустановка працює при стохастичних умовах зміни рівня швидкості вітру, що спричиняє до відповідних показників на клемах зарядного пристрою. Оцінка необхідної кількості енергії для зарядження ємкісного накопичувача ускладнюється.
Метою роботи становила задача визначити час зарядження ємнісного накопичувача електродинамічного привода насосу автономної вітроелектричної установки до заданих технологічних меж за допомогою імітаційного моделювання при стохастичних умовах зміни рівня швидкості вітру. При зміні значень математичного сподіванням швидкості вітру в межах 4…5,2 м/с час зарядження ємнісного накопичувача при технологічній межі напруги 100 В складає відповідно 12,5…7 с.

Abstract
The delay time distribution of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia; the time-dependent rate of SNe resulting from a burst of star formation) has been measured using different techniques and in different environments. Here we study in detail the distribution for field galaxies, using the SDSS DR7 Stripe 82 SN sample. We improve a technique we introduced earlier, which is based on galaxy color and luminosity and is insensitive to details of the star formation history, to include the normalization. Assuming a power-law dependence of the SN rate with time, DTD(t) = A(t/1 Gyr)
s
, we find a power-law index

and a normalization

, corresponding to a number of SNe Ia integrated over a Hubble time of

. We also implement a method used by Maoz and collaborators, which is based on star formation history reconstruction, and find that this gives a consistent result for the slope but a lower, marginally inconsistent normalization. With our normalization, the distribution for field galaxies is made consistent with that derived for cluster galaxies. Comparing the inferred distribution with predictions from different evolutionary scenarios for SNe Ia, we find that our results are intermediate between the various predictions and do not yet constrain the evolutionary path leading to SNe Ia.

Introduction: The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Southeast Asia is high. Awareness and early detection are essential for timely prevention and treatment.
Methodology: We examined the awareness of, knowledge about, practices and views on treatment for HBV infection in Southeast Asia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from December 2016 to February 2017 among individuals from six nations in Southeast Asia—Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Singapore. The study population comprised healthcare and non-healthcare personnel.
Results: In total, 799 healthcare personnel and 1079 non-healthcare personnel completed an online survey. The prevalence of the awareness of their own HBV infection status and risk of this regionally endemic infection was 85.6% (684/799) among healthcare personnel and 54.0% (583/1079) among non-healthcare personnel. Similarly, 85.9% of healthcare personnel and 45.5% of non-healthcare personnel had good knowledge about disease transmission, complications, and the need for treatment, and 76.6% of healthcare personnel and 39.8% of non-healthcare personnel followed good HBV infection-prevention practices. Overall, 90.6% found the idea of treatment acceptable. Awareness had a significant impact on both knowledge and practice scores among both healthcare personnel and non-healthcare personnel (p < 0.01) but without statistically significant differences in treatment acceptance between the two groups (p = 0.61).
Conclusions: Awareness of HBV infection was relatively low among non-healthcare personnel in Southeast Asian populations. The provision of additional hepatitis B awareness campaigns is crucial to eliminating viral hepatitis in the region.
