Enhancing Motivation and Developing Positive Attitudes in an ESP Context
Authors: Kharbanda Prem Raj 
Published: September 2023

ESP has been enriched by many theoretical inputs, but ESP itself does not have any universally accepted theory. From primary to tertiary, second/ foreign language English teaching/ learning depends on the motivation and attitude toward the target language. The present article outlines the theoretical foundation of an English for Specific Purpose (ESP) writing course, which was designed, implemented and assessed to enhance the proficiency of English writing skills of engineering students in six colleges under MAKAUT in West Bengal. India tops the world in terms of the number of engineering students and colleges. To meet engineering students' academic and workplace writing needs, the most important requirement is a writing course. Implementing the ESP course required multi-dimensional theoretical considerations drawn from areas like ESP, needs analysis, theories of language and language learning, syllabus design, motivation and attitude, and writing as a language skill. In this study, the theoretical underpinnings applied in classroom teaching related to enhancing motivation and improving attitude are discussed. The difference in the mean, median and mode scores with regards to pre and post writing tests and highly positive student feedback on materials, methodology, techniques, and sub components of writing skill indicated a significant improvement and established the efficacy of such an eclectic approach, which can be used in subsequent ESP course designs.

Published: September 2023

This study was conducted to examine how the abilities of business managers affect the relationship between cost accounting systems and financial performance. The data has been obtained from social welfare organizations. Multiple regression analysis without an interaction term was first conducted as the base model followed by hierarchical multiple regression analysis to verify the increase in explanatory power by adding an interaction term. All independent variables, adjustment variables and control variables except dummy variables were centralized to facilitate the interpretation of the interaction term. A regression diagnosis was conducted after the exclusion of outliers. The statistical analysis environment R was used for the analysis. The findings of the study suggest that among the four functionalities of cost accounting systems, detailed cost ascertainment and reporting frequency may affect organizational performance through interactions with the abilities of business managers. This study may be viewed as a first step in examining the effects of the interaction between the functionality of cost accounting systems and the abilities of business managers on the financial performance of organizations.

Published: September 2023

Isolated hepatic tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity with non-specific clinical and imaging features that can result in a diagnostic challenge. A high index of suspicion is required and a definitive diagnosis can be very difficult. Here, we report a case of a 55-year-old Bangladeshi lady with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension presenting with prolonged fever and tender hepatomegaly. After initial evaluation she was found to have raised alkaline phosphatase and γ-glutamyl transferase levels. A diagnosis of hepatic tuberculosis was confirmed from histopathology of liver tissue. Anti-tuberculosis therapy was started. Although rare, hepatic tuberculosis should be considered in any case of unexplained hepatomegaly or hepatosplenomegaly with prolonged fever. A liver biopsy should be performed, as this condition responds well to anti-tuberculosis therapy.

Gastric Dieulafoy lesion as a cause of upper gastro-intestinal bleeding in a 4-year-old child: a case report
Authors: Naher Nurun , Sultana Sabina , Kabir Iqbal Murshed , Begum Noorjahan 
Published: September 2023

Dieulafoy lesion, although rare, is a significant gastrointestinal condition that can affect children. These quiescent lesions can easily be overlooked and bleeding lesions are occasionally misidentified on endoscopy. So, accurate diagnosis depends on increased knowledge and improvements in endoscopic procedures. Treatment of Dieulafoy lesion in children usually involves in different modalities of endoscopic interventions to stop the bleeding and promote healing. In more severe cases or when endoscopic treatments are unsuccessful, surgical intervention may be required to remove the lesion. In this case report, we present the case of a boy of 4 years and 4 months old, who presented with hematemesis with melena. He appeared mildly pale, moderately dehydrated, had a moderate pulse volume, prolonged capillary refill time, a narrow pulse pressure and tenderness in the epigastrium when the abdomen was examined. His tests showed a low hemoglobin level (7.5 g/dl), a normal coagulation profile and several bleeding sites in the fundus and upper part of stomach on endoscopic examination, which are consistent with Dieulafoy lesions.

Authors: Alam Irin Parveen , Yasmin Fawzia , Jahan Muna Shalima , Nila Tahmina Sultana 
Published: September 2023

Rectus sheath hematoma is a very uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain, especially during pregnancy. Misdiagnosis is likely due to the lack of specific symptoms, which could put the patient and her fetus in danger.. A patient came with sudden severe left upper abdominal pain with history of cough for few days. She was referred from other hospital and diagnosed there as 32 weeks pregnancy preeclampsia with severe disease with HELLP syndrome. Uterus was tender and more prominent on left side, and patient was not in labour. Provisional diagnosis was abruptio placenta with concealed haemorrhage or rupture uterus. But after laparotomy it was diagnosed as a case of rectus sheath haematoma(RSH). Different imaging modalities such as Ultrasonography and CT are the diagnostic methods. Active bleeding can be managed either surgically by evacuating the haematoma and ligating the bleeding vessels. We managed the patient by laparotomy and blood and blood product transfusion and by multidisciplinary approach, but the patient developed multiorgan failure and expired on 16 th POD. The clinical and diagnostic symptoms of rectus sheath hematoma are highlighted in this case report.

The phytochemical contents such as, total phenolic, flavonoid and tannin content of ethanol extract of tender and matured leaves of Moringa oleifera were investigated. On the other hand, antioxidant activity test (total antioxidant activity, ABTS free radical scavenging activity, reducing power and ferrous ion chelating ability) were also studied. Total Phenolic content (203.80 ± 0.0014 and 105.00 ± 0.0045) mg/g gallic acid equivalent, total flavonoid content (26.02 ± 0.0031 and 18.20 ± 0.0025) mg/g quercetin equivalent and the total tannin content (12.90 ± 0.0021 and 10.50 ± 0.0012) mg/g of tannic acid equivalent were found in the ethanol extracts of tender and matured leaves of Moringa oleifera, respectively. The total antioxidant capacity of both leaves of the ethanol extracts were 217.43 ± 0.0025 mg/g and 210.65 ± 0.0019 mg/g respectively of ascorbic acid equivalent, respectively. Firstly, the IC50 value of tender and matured leaves of free radical scavenging activity test for ABTS (0.57 ± 0.0135 and 0.61 ± 0.0258) mg/mL were obtained using ascorbic acid as positive control (0.50 ± 0.0265 mg/mL). Secondly, reducing power ability was increased with higher concentration of all samples and standard. Finally, the IC50 value for ferrous ion chelating ability test was observed 5.10 ± 0.0121 and 9.20 ± 0.0212 mg/mL for ethanol extracts of tender and matured leaves respectively, whereas standard Na2EDTA was 4.0±0.0135 mg/mL. The result revealed that the ethanol extract of tender leaves showed more in-vitro antioxidant properties that of matured leaves.

Background: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a significant cause of physical & psychological disability with social stigmatization especially in low- and middle-income countries. Over 80% of such cases result from neglected prolonged and obstructed labour.
Objective: The purpose of the study was to observe the outcome of transvaginal local repair of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF).
Methods: This descriptive study was carried out at the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Sylhet M.A.G. Osmani Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh, from July 2007 to June 2008, on 50 patients of vesicovaginal fistula. We included women who were suffering from VVF and who were operated before and diagnosed as a failed repair of VVF. We excluded those patients who had VVF with associated problem like rectovaginal fistula (RVF), any repair through transabdominal route and unwilling to take part in this study. Before surgery, each woman was assessed by medical and surgical history, examination and necessary investigations. Typically, regional anesthesia was utilized for the fistula surgery. However, general anesthesia was given when required. During surgery, transvaginal approach was taken for repair. The vagina was packed for haemostasis. Vaginal pack was removed after 1-2 days depending on instruction of the surgeon. Repacking of vagina was also done sometimes when there was some leaking during post-operative period. Few patients developed severe constipation post operatively.
Results: The participants aged between 16 and 70 years. Among them, majority of the patient belongs to the age 31-35 years (26%) followed by 2nd common group 26-30 years of age (20%) and 3rd one in between 21-25 years of age (16%). Among them 44% patients were primipara and 22% patients were grand multipara. The mobilization during operation was excellent in 30%, satisfactory 64% cases and not enough in 6% cases. After mobilization fistula closed in double layer in 10% and in single layer 90% cases, labial fat graft was given 38% and peritoneal graft was given in 2% cases. During operation bleeding was minimum in 92% cases and in 34% cases catheter was block, urine leakage occurred in 30% cases. Among all patients 14% suffered from fever postoperatively. There was vaginal discharge in 10% cases and UTI in 12%cases which was evidenced by urine culture. Operation was fully successful in 60 percent cases, urethral incontinence in 22% cases & failed in 18% women.
Conclusion: In this study, majority of the transvaginal local repair of VVF operations were successful; however, few difficult cases were observed.

Published: September 2023

BackgroundIntrauterine adhesions (IUA), arising from diverse etiological factors, pose a significant threat to female fertility, particularly during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.ObjectiveTo assess the effectiveness of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis (HA) combined with periodic balloon dilation in treating IUA and its impact on reproductive outcomes in women undergoing IVF treatment.MethodsA total of 234 patients diagnosed with IUA were included in this study. The IUA women were categorized into three subgroups based on the severity of adhesion. All IUA patients underwent HA separation followed by periodic balloon dilation along with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Frozen embryo transfer was performed post-treatment, and a comparative analysis of the general characteristics and clinical outcomes among the subgroups was conducted. The control group consisted of patients who underwent their first embryo transfer of HRT cycle without any uterine abnormalities, as assessed by the propensity score matching (PSM). The clinical outcomes of IUA group and control group were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to investigate the risk factors associated with live birth.Results① The endometrial thickness was significantly increased post-operation compared to pre-operation in all three IUA subgroups (all P &lt;0.001), with the most pronounced change observed in the severe IUA group. After treatment, normal uterine cavity was restored in 218 women (93.16%). ② The overall clinical pregnancy rate was 49.57% (116/234) and live birth rate was 29.91% (70/234). The clinical outcomes were similar among the three subgroups after first embryo transfer (all P&gt;0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that age (aOR 0.878, 95% CI 0.817~0.944, P=0.001) and endometrial thickness after treatment (aOR 1.292, 95% CI 1.046~1.597, P=0.018) were the two significant risk factors for live birth rate. ③ Following the process of matching, a total of 114 patients were successfully enrolled in the control group. The baselines and the clinical outcomes were all comparable between the IUA group and control group (all P&gt;0.05).ConclusionThe combination of HA and periodic balloon dilation is beneficial for improving endometrial receptivity and has a significant clinical impact on patients with IUA undergoing IVF.

Introduction: Circulating fetal cells isolated from maternal blood can be used for prenatal testing, representing a safe alternative to invasive testing. The present study investigated the potential of cell-based noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for diagnosing monogenic disorders dependent on the mode of inheritance.Methods: Maternal blood samples were collected from women opting for prenatal diagnostics for specific monogenic disorders (N = 7). Fetal trophoblasts were enriched and stained using magnetic activated cell sorting and isolated by fluorescens activated single-cell sorting. Individual cells were subject to whole genome amplification, and cells of fetal origin were identified by DNA-profiling using short tandem repeat markers. The amplified fetal DNA was input for genetic testing for autosomal dominant-, autosomal recessive-, X-linked and repeat expansion disorders by direct variant analysis and haplotyping. The cell-based NIPT results were compared with those of invasive testing.Results: In two cases at risk of skeletal dysplasia, caused by variants in the FGFR3 gene (autosomal dominant disorders), cell-based NIPT correctly stated an affected fetus, but allelic dropout of the normal alleles were observed in both cases. Cell-based NIPT gave an accurate result in two cases at risk of autosomal recessive disorders, where the parents carried either different diastrophic dysplasia causing variants in the SLC26A2 gene or the same cystic fibrosis disease-causing variant in the CFTR gene. Cell-based NIPT accurately identified an affected male fetus in a pregnancy at risk of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD gene, X-linked recessive disorders). In two cases at risk of the myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DMPK gene, repeat expansion disorder), cell-based NIPT correctly detected an affected and an unaffected fetus, respectively.Discussion: Circulating fetal cells can be used to detect both maternally- and paternally inherited monogenic disorders irrespective of the type of variant, however, the risk of allelic dropout must be considered. We conclude that the clinical interpretation of the cell-based NIPT result thus varies depending on the disorders’ mode of inheritance.

IntroductionTemporin-GHa obtained from the frog Hylarana guentheri showed bactericidal efficacy against Streptococcus mutans. To enhance its antibacterial activity, the derived peptides GHaR and GHa11R were designed, and their antibacterial performance, antibiofilm efficacy and potential in the inhibition of dental caries were evaluated.MethodsBacterial survival assay, fluorescent staining assay and transmission electron microscopy observation were applied to explore how the peptides inhibited and killed S. mutans. The antibiofilm efficacy was assayed by examining exopolysaccharide (EPS) and lactic acid production, bacterial adhesion and cell surface hydrophobicity. The gene expression level of virulence factors of S. mutans was detected by qRT-PCR. Finally, the impact of the peptides on the caries induced ability of S. mutans was measured using a rat caries model.ResultsIt has been shown that the peptides inhibited biofilm rapid accumulation by weakening the initial adhesion of S. mutans and reducing the production of EPS. Meanwhile, they also decreased bacterial acidogenicity and aciduricity, and ultimately prevented caries development in vivo.ConclusionGHaR and GHa11R might be promising candidates for controlling S. mutans infections.
