An Unusual Case of Anterior Vaginal Wall Cyst
Authors: Anitha GS , Prathiba M , Gowri Mangala 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT
Vaginal cysts are rare and are mostly detected as an incidental finding during a gynecological examination. Gartner duct cysts, the most common benign cystic lesion of the vagina, represent embryologic remnants of the caudal end of the mesonephric (Wolffian) duct. These cysts are usually small and asymptomatic and have been reported to occur in as many as 1% of all women. A 17-year-old unmarried girl presented with mass per vagina since one and a half year. On examination, anterior vaginal wall cyst of 8 × 4 × 3 cm was detected. Surgical excision of the cyst was done under spinal anesthesia by sharp and blunt dissection. The cyst was filled with mucoid material and histopathological examination confirmed Gartner origin. This is a rare case of large Gartner cyst.

Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare clinical entity characterized by the progressive obliteration of the aortic arch and the main vessels arising from it and, in some cases of the thoracic and abdominal aorta and its main branches.

Case
We report a case in which diagnosis of TA was made 6 years ago and present pregnancy was successfully managed.

Conclusion
Multidisciplinary management is essential for satisfactory clinical outcome during pregnancy and their blood pressure should be strictly controlled for a favorable maternal and fetal outcome and mode of delievery should be planned.

Convulsions: Eclampsia or Malaria or Both!
Authors: Jaju PB , Bhavi Shruti B 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Prevalence of malaria in pregnancy is 1.4%. A high index of suspicion is most important in the diagnosis of malaria and should be differentiated from other complications like eclampsia, intrauterine sepsis.

Case Report
Gravida 3 para 2 living 1 (G3P2L1) with 28 weeks gestation was referred with high blood pressure (BP), severe anemia. She was afebrile, severe pallor +, pedal edema +, pulse rate (PR)—110/ min, BP—140/80 mm Hg, per abdomen (P/A)— Ut 28 to 30 weeks size relaxed with fetal heart sounds (FHS) regular. Hemoglobin (HB) 5.3 gm%, platelet count 80,000. After 3 days, patient threw one convulsion. Low dose MgSO4 regime given. Peripheral smear (PS) for malarial parasite (MP) vivax positive and injection quinine 1200 mg in 10% dextrose started. She was induced and delivered.

Discussion
In pregnancy malaria is more common, more atypical, more severe and more fatal. Once diagnosed treatment should be started immediately and pregnant woman should be given full doses of antimalarials. Both eclampsia and malaria are to be treated.

Comparison of Levels of Androgenic Hormones in various Phenotypes of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in High School Girls aging 14 to 18 Years
Authors: Akbarzadeh Marzieh , Naderi Tahereh , Dabbaghmaneh Mohammad H , Tabatabaee Hamidreza 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is mainly diagnosed based on oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea accompanied by clinical or laboratory evidence of hyperandrogenemia. This study aimed to compare the levels of androgenic hormones in various phenotypes of PCOS in high school girls aged 14 to 18 years in 2009.

Materials and methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 3200 girl students aged 14 to 18 years. The research community included high school girls in different educational districts of Shiraz. After obtaining written informed consents, demographic questionnaire was completed and clinical signs of increased androgens (acne, hirsutism and alopecia) were recorded. In addition, ultrasound for cyst was performed for the students with menstrual disorders.

Results
The mean age of the study population was 16.17 ± 1.25 years. Hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries phenotype compared to other phenotypes were more prevalent (45 patients, 30.8%) in the study population. In addition, the mean testosterone, free testosterone (FT), and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) levels were higher in the patients with polycystic ovaries and hyperandrogenism. However, the results of independent t-test revealed no significant difference between the patients with polycystic ovaries and hyperandrogenism and noninfected participants regarding the mean hormone levels (p > 0.05). Yet, the correlation was significant in the other three phenotypes (p < 0.05). Moreover, 144 cases (4.6%) suffered from oligomenorrhea, 29.5% of whom presented PCOS symptoms in the ultrasound.

Conclusion
Androgenic hormone levels were higher in the PCOS phenotypes with menstrual disorders, particularly oligomenorrhea. Therefore, compared to other symptoms of hyperandrogenism and ultrasound, menstrual disorders were more important in PCOS.

Prolapsed Giant Cervical Fibroid Polyp
Authors: Agarwal Mohita , Jaiswal Shalini 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT
Giant cervical fibroid polyps causing diagnostic dilemma are rarely encountered in gynecologic practice. The objective of this case report is to document a case of huge cervical polyp large enough to cause prolapse of the otherwise normal uterus and cervix. A 35 years old multipara presented with heaviness in the vagina, pain in lower abdomen for 2 years and something coming out per vaginum, off and on vaginal bleeding and foul smelling discharge for 1 week. On local examination, grossly hypertrophied cervix was seen prolapsed outside the introitus and a large mass about 20 × 18 cm apparently arising from the posterior lip of the cervix. On per rectal examination, uterus was atrophied. Pap smear and showed only inflammatory changes with no evidence of malignancy. After four blood transfusion and control of local infection with systemic antibiotic, patient was taken for surgery. Postoperative recovery was uneventful histopathological report confirmed fibroid-polyp. Although giant cervical fibroid is rare, it may masquerade as neglected 3rd degree uterovaginal prolapse or massive enterocele as in our case. Proper evaluation is needed to make an accurate diagnosis, anticipate operative challenges and strike a judicious and rational approach about deciding the route of hysterectomy.

Pregnancy with Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma
Authors: Sharma Urmila , Agarwal Ritu 
Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT
Adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) during pregnancy is one of the rarest diagnoses and requires a high index of suspicion as symptoms and signs overlap with that of normal pregnancy. Adrenal cortical carcinoma is associated with various fatal maternal and fetal complications. Thus, a multidisciplinary approach with timely management is the key component to prevent grave consequences to mother and the fetus. Here, we present a case of primigravida female with Cushing syndrome diagnosed as ACC.

Abstract. Thermal and multispectral remote sensing data from low-altitude aircraft can provide high spatial resolution necessary for sub-field (≤  10 m) and plant canopy (≤  1 m) scale evapotranspiration (ET) monitoring. In this study, high-resolution (sub-meter-scale) thermal infrared and multispectral shortwave data from aircraft are used to map ET over vineyards in central California with the two-source energy balance (TSEB) model and with a simple model having operational immediate capabilities called DATTUTDUT (Deriving Atmosphere Turbulent Transport Useful To Dummies Using Temperature). The latter uses contextual information within the image to scale between radiometric land surface temperature (TR) values representing hydrologic limits of potential ET and a non-evaporative surface. Imagery from 5 days throughout the growing season is used for mapping ET at the sub-field scale. The performance of the two models is evaluated using tower-based measurements of sensible (H) and latent heat (LE) flux or ET. The comparison indicates that TSEB was able to derive reasonable ET estimates under varying conditions, likely due to the physically based treatment of the energy and the surface temperature partitioning between the soil/cover crop inter-row and vine canopy elements. On the other hand, DATTUTDUT performance was somewhat degraded presumably because the simple scaling scheme does not consider differences in the two sources (vine and inter-row) of heat and temperature contributions or the effect of surface roughness on the efficiency of heat exchange. Maps of the evaporative fraction (EF  =  LE/(H + LE)) from the two models had similar spatial patterns but different magnitudes in some areas within the fields on certain days. Large EF discrepancies between the models were found on 2 of the 5 days (DOY 162 and 219) when there were significant differences with the tower-based ET measurements, particularly using the DATTUTDUT model. These differences in EF between the models translate to significant variations in daily water use estimates for these 2 days for the vineyards. Model sensitivity analysis demonstrated the high degree of sensitivity of the TSEB model to the accuracy of the TR data, while the DATTUTDUT model was insensitive to systematic errors in TR as is the case with contextual-based models. However, it is shown that the study domain and spatial resolution will significantly influence the ET estimation from the DATTUTDUT model. Future work is planned for developing a hybrid approach that leverages the strengths of both modeling schemes and is simple enough to be used operationally with high-resolution imagery.
The Evolution of University Governance in Ghana: Implications for Education Policy and Practice

Published: April 2016

<p>The relationship between education and public policy is two way: (1) economic development of a nation depends on the human capital produced by the education system of that nation and (2) public spending and management of the education system is crucial to the welfare of the nation. Changes in this relationship generate public concerns about university governance and its implications to national development. Therefore, this study explores the questions: (1) Have the role and purpose of university governance changed since its inception? (2) Are there differences between the old and the new system of university governance? (3) What larger ramifications does this have on university governance? The study was conducted within the framework of qualitative research design. The researchers adopted the social constructivist worldview with phenomenology approach to inquiry. Participants who were mainly eminent former senior university administrators and regulators with management, administrative and governance experience in public and private university were interviewed. Data was transcribed and read repeatedly over time to make sense of issues raised by informants. Significant statements were selected, interpreted and used in the text to highlight key issues as well as to provide voice of the informants. The findings of the study suggest that remedies for the changes realized in governance should take into account measures such as strengthening institutional capacities; balancing between the interests of the private and public sector actors in university education; and safeguarding the policy space of the ordinary people to participate in university education affairs that concern or affect them. </p>

Published: April 2016

<p>The Ramayana epic has many moral values that can be used as guidance in our daily life especially for the development of a person towards a better direction. Besides this, there are many other lessons that can be learned from within each Ramayana epic stories, for example, the values and norms, customs, mannerism lessons and the various characteristics of people and so on. But today’s digital or Net Generation teenagers do not find reading Ramayana as fun or interesting because of its text form. The technology is more advanced and Ramayana epics look very ancient in the eyes of this Digital Natives. This study used the idea of gamification, a game play mechanics to create meaningful learning experiences and make the learning more interesting and fun. Gamification also looks at games and learning from a different angle on how to make learning more meaningful, engaging, interactive, fun and interesting. In view of this, this research aims to seek if the use of online interactive activities could encourage and motivate teenagers to read Ramayana epics. Forty Primary Tamil students participated in this study voluntarily. The data were collected through a questionnaire. Based on the pre-questionnaire data regarding respondents’ prior knowledge on Ramayana, it was found that respondents had minimal knowledge about it. 37% said they would like to read the epic through comic books and 63% claimed that they would prefer computer. This study has some implications for computer assisted language learning. </p>

Collectief procederen vanuit de visie van een rechter
Het is niet wenselijk dat aan de rechter een belangrijke rol wordt toegekend in de collectieve procedure. Een belangrijk hulpmiddel zou kunnen zijn dat in de procedure deskundigen worden betrokken die de soorten van schade in kaart brengen en daarbij behorende categorieën van schadevergoeding bepalen. Hoewel het belang van de toetsing van de kwaliteit van de claimorganisatie duidelijk is, past een doorlopende ontvankelijkheidskwestie niet in een effectieve procedure. Het verdient juist geen aanbeveling dat in een procedure één claimorganisatie als de leidende wordt aangewezen.
Nejpoužívanější psychodiagnostické metody v České republice
Authors: Urbánek Tomáš 
Published: April 2016

Cílem článku je stručné srovnání výsledků dvou výzkumů o psychodiagnostických metodách používaných v České republice. Zatímco výzkum prováděný v letech 2001-2003 (Svoboda et al., 2004) se pokoušel zmapovat všechny používané metody, průzkum provedený v roce 2009 se týkal spíše názorů uživatelů psychodiagnostických metod na různé aspekty testování a položka dotazující se na tři psychodiagnostické metody nejvíce používané respondentem byla víceméně doplňková. Z toho vyplývají i rozdíly ve výsledcích obou výzkumů. Chápeme je jako východisko pro recenzování psychodiagnostických metod.
Pedagogicko-psychologická diagnostika jako zadní dvorek psychologické diagnostiky?
Authors: Mareš Jan 
Published: April 2016

Diskusní příspěvek připomíná pedagogicko-psychologickou diagnostiku jako jednu z významných oblastí psychologické diagnostiky. Na proklamativní úrovni je individualizace výuky jedním z ústředních témat změn probíhajících ve vzdělávacím systému od 90. let a logicky přináší požadavek na lepší znalost individuálních specifik jednotlivých žáků. Diagnostická praxe ale tento rozvoj kopíruje jen částečně. Historicky rozvinuté oblasti pedagogicko-psychologické diagnostiky si udržují svou úroveň, řada nových témat a oblastí ale zůstává opomíjena a je řešena neuspokojivým způsobem s logickými důsledky pro celý vzdělávací systém, tvorbu a použití diagnostických nástrojů i pro konkrétní žáky či studenty. Pedagogicko-psychologická diagnostika tak přestala být diagnostickou výkladní skříní a stal se z ní spíše zadní dvorek diagnostiky, jakkoli s ní má zkušenost prakticky celá populace. Řadu diagnostických aktivit v oblasti výchovy a vzdělávání navíc můžeme chápat jako příklad tzv. high-stakes diagnostiky. V příspěvku se pokouším pojmenovat některé problematické části systému profesní přípravy uživatelů diagnostických nástrojů a jejich výsledků i vzdělávací politiky a její implementace v podobě předpisů upravujících diagnostiku v oblasti výchovy a vzdělávání. Papers discuss educational assessment as one of the major areas of psychological assessment. On the declarative level, the individualization of teaching is one of the central themes of the changes taking place in the Czech education system since the 90th years and logically demands a better knowledge of the individual characteristics of each individual student. Educational assessment practice this system development only partially replicates. Historically developed educational assessment areas maintain high level, but a number of new topics and areas are sidelined and assessment tools are designed unsatisfactory, with the logic consequences for the entire education system. Educational assessment ceased to be a showcase for diagnostic and became her backyard, although the entire population has experience with this kind of assessment. A number of assessment activities in the field of education can be seen as an example of high-stakes assessment. The paper tries to identify some problematic part of the training of users of diagnostic tools and their results and educational policy and its implementation in the form of regulations governing the assessment in the field of education.

Rey-Osterriethova komplexní figura: Recenze metody
Authors: Krčová Veronika 
Published: April 2016

Rey-Osterriethova komplexní figura (TKF) je specifický nástroj v tom, že měří více kognitivních funkcí najednou. Je proto obtížné často rozpoznat, o čem zhoršený výkon v TKF vypovídá. Mnoho studií však ukázalo, že TKF poskytuje užitečné informace, zejména při neuropsychologické diagnostice, ale také v oblasti psychologie výchovy a vzdělávání či klinické psychologii. Užitečnost TKF dokládá i poměrně slušný výčet výzkumů v příručce, které ukazují na její užitečnost pro různé diagnostické skupiny. Avšak doporučuji tento nástroj používat vždy společně s jinými diagnostickými metodami.K tomu, aby TKF mohl být kvalitnějším diagnostickým nástrojem v českém prostředí, by bylo potřeba vytvořit kvalitnější manuál, protože ten současný má několik nedostatků. Za prvé je třeba lépe standardizovat skórovací kritéria tak, aby byl ponechán co nejmenší prostor ke zkreslení ze strany hodnotitele. K tomu by bylo vhodné tato kritéria lépe specifikovat a doplnit názornými grafickými příklady pro snadnější hodnocení. Poté by bylo vhodné vypracovat nové normy pro děti i dospělé. V současné době je tento diagnostický nástroj v českém prostředí použitelný spíše s jistým varováním, což dokazuje i to, že v praxi často dochází spíše k posouzení výsledků TKF na základě zkušeností hodnotitele než na základě současných norem. Příručka by si zasloužila také kapitolu o validitě a reliabilitě a kvalitnější informace o výzkumech zaměřených na TKF, kterých bylo provedeno mnohem vice, než je v příručce uvedeno. Co nelze upřít tomuto nástroji, je jeho velmi jednoduchá a rychlá administrace a také nízké náklady.

Authors: Jabůrek Michal , Chadimová Lucie 
Published: April 2016

Projekt DIS (celým názvem „Diagnostika dětí a žáků se speciálními vzdělávacími potřebami“), realizovaný v období od 2. 9. 2010 do 31. 8. 2013, byl spolufinancován Evropským sociálním fondem a státním rozpočtem České republiky. Jeho řešitelem byl Národní ústav pro vzdělávání. Hlavním cílem projektu bylo vytvořit psychometricky ověřené diagnostické nástroje, které budou zaměřeny na ty oblasti psychologické, pedagogické a speciálně-pedagogické diagnostiky dětí a žáků, u nichž je dle odborníků z praxe absence kvalitních metod nejznatelnější. V rámci projektu bylo vyvíjeno a standardizováno 12 diagnostických nástrojů, které jsou z větší části recenzované v tomto čísle Testfora. Část z nich byla vytvořena nově ve spolupráci s českými autory, u části se jednalo o adaptaci ze zahraničí. Většina z těchto nástrojů je již v distribuci.
