Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND:
Treatment adherence is one of the behaviors associated with type 2 diabetes that predicts whether it will be successfully treated or develop complications and become uncontrolled. This study aimed to determine factors affecting nonadherence to treatment among diabetic patients with limited health literacy from the perspectives of patients, their families, and healthcare providers.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This qualitative study with a content analysis approach was conducted on 84 eligible type 2 diabetes patients with limited health literacy and poor adherence to treatment, as well as their families and healthcare providers using a purposive sampling method, in Kerman city in 2021. Interviews were conducted using a semistructured interview guide with a broad, open-ended question to provide a general history of the disease separately. The interviewer asked participants to identify the perceived barriers to treatment nonadherence. Each interview lasted 45–60 min. MAXQDA version 20 and inductive content analysis were used to code and analyze extracted data.

RESULTS:
Four major themes emerged from the patients' perspectives as “financial problems,” “individual factors,” “problems related to medication availability,” and “healthcare providers' poor practices.” Two major themes were classified from the perspective of patients' families as “financial problems” and “Individual factors,” and four major themes were identified from the viewpoint of healthcare providers including “financial problems,” “individual factors,” “scarcity and medication availability,” and “poor practice of the healthcare provider.” These mentioned barriers were confirmed regarding treatment nonadherence among study participants.

CONCLUSION:
Study findings revealed different factors of treatment nonadherence among diabetic patients with limited health literacy. Therefore, these factors should be considered in tailoring promotive educational and supportive interventions. Considering the importance of adherence to treatment patients, planning empowerment family-based interventions focusing on health literacy improvement seems necessary.

Published: December 2022

Introduction:
The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) was introduced for unifying the terminology and morphologic criteria along with the corresponding risk of malignancy, leading to more consistent management approaches. The aim of this study was to study the utility and reproducibility of TBSRTC in reporting thyroid cytology in a referral cancer center.

Methods:
The fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of all thyroid nodules were included for a period of 5 years, from January 2016 to December 2021, in this cancer center. They were retrospectively reviewed and recategorized according to TBSRTC by two experienced pathologists. Cytohistopathological correlation was done for the cases which underwent surgical resection.

Results:
522 fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of thyroid swellings were evaluated and categorized according to TBSRTC. There was agreement in the cytological diagnosis of 512 cases, of which 260 (50.78%) were benign lesions, 189 (36.91%) were malignant, 5 (0.97%) were unsatisfactory/nondiagnostic, 41 (8.01%) were follicular neoplasm/suspicious for neoplasm, 13 (2.53%) were suspicious for malignancy, and 4 (0.78%) cases were reported as atypia of undetermined significance. Two cytopathologists were in agreement in 512 cases (98%) of cases. Almost complete concordance was noted in the malignant (99%) and benign categories (98%). Disagreement was seen in 10 cases. Histological follow-up was available in 201 cases with an overall malignancy rate of 62.68% (126/201).

Conclusion:
TBSRTC proved to be a very simple and effective reporting system for thyroid FNAC, especially in the setting of a cancer center. This enables proper triaging of cases with thyroid masses into those who require surgical intervention and those who can avoid it, thereby preventing unnecessary morbidity.

Published: December 2022

Background:
The meniscal cartilages are fibrous discs that are important for knee structures and have the ability to bear weight and stabilize joints. However, morphological and standard data for the meniscus are limited. Therefore, this work will compare anatomical and histological parameters of meniscal cartilages. The results will be important for the different measurements that are necessary for knee joint surgery.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 24 aged cadavers (12 males and 12 females) were included. Knee joints were dissected and the menisci were excised and labeled as medial or lateral, right or left, male or female. Then, the menisci were kept in 10% formalin solution. Morphological variations of the meniscal shapes were macroscopically categorized. Different measurements, including the distance between anterior and posterior horns, outer and inner circumferences, width (breadth), and thickness, were done using a digital Vernier caliper and recorded manually.

Results:
48 medial menisci (MMi) cartilages were studied, they were 54.6% crescent-shaped, 34.6% V-shaped, and 10.8% U-shaped. 48 lateral menisci (LMi) cartilages were studied, 41.6% were crescent-shaped, 56.4% were C-shaped, and 2% were disc-shaped articular cartilage. Findings included differences in their lengths and thickness.

Conclusion:
The findings of this study were significant in providing new information on various morphological and morphometric parameters of the MMi and LMi in aged males and females, which are necessary to require more precise and comprehensive fundamental data that will be helpful for many specialists for better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches; aiming to restore normal joint conditions in senile people complaining of different meniscal pathologies.

Authors: Vidhya C , Shreeshruthi N 
Published: December 2022

Aim:
The aim was a retrospective comparative study on visual outcomes and complications of retro-pupillary fixated iris-claw lens (RPICL) with respect to the experience level of the operating surgeons.

Methods and Materials:
A retrospective study in which records of 126 patients who had RPICL implanted following cataract surgery between January and December 2020 at our hospital were analyzed. Patients were categorized into two groups: (a) RPICL done by a consultant (with experience of a minimum of 25 RPICL done) and (b) RPICL done by a resident (less than two RPICL done, with assistance). Visual outcome (best-corrected visual acuity in logMAR) and postoperative complications (on the first postoperative day and one month) were analyzed in the two groups.

Results:
There was a total of 126 eyes in 126 patients, of which primary RPICL was implanted in 45 eyes by the consultants (group A) and 81 eyes by the residents (group B). Overall ocular risk factors warranting a difficult surgery were significantly higher in the consultant group when compared with the resident group (P = 0.001). Mean preoperative vision was 0.899 and 1.137 in group A and group B, respectively. The final postoperative vision (postoperative period 1 month) was 0.246 and 0.332 in group A and group B, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in preoperative and postoperative vision between both groups. Postoperative complications on day 1 were more in group B (71.6%) than in group A (55.6%) (P = 0.054). However, most of them resolved within 1 month postoperative period.

Conclusion:
Primary RPICL implantation is an effective modality of visual rehabilitation in complicated cataract surgery with deficient capsular support and is a boon for young budding cataract surgeons.

Published: December 2022

Objective:
To determine the prevalence and pattern of visual impairment (VI) among primary school pupils in the Ga West Municipality of Ghana.

Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional survey among primary school pupils at the Ga West Municipality. A cluster sampling technique was used to select 765 pupils from 12 primary schools (six public and six private schools). All pupils had presenting visual acuity (VA) testing and pupils with VI (presenting VA <6/18 in the better eye) had detailed ocular examination to determine the cause of VI. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the association between independent variables and prevalence of VI.

Results:
Four hundred and forty-eight (58.6%) of the pupils were males and their mean age was 10 ± 2.4 years. The prevalence of VI was 4.3%. Refractive error, 17 (51.5%), was the most common cause of moderate VI. Other morbidities associated with moderate VI were ocular surface abnormalities secondary to vernal keratoconjunctivitis, five (15.2%), amblyopia, four (12.1%), cataract, two (6.1%), and albinism, two (6.1%). The causes of severe VI were corneal opacity, chorioretinal scars, and glaucoma, each accounting for 3.0% of VI. Increasing age of pupils (P = 0.04) and private school attendance (P = 0.01) were found to be significantly associated with a higher prevalence of VI.

Conclusion:
Refractive error was the most common cause of VI in the primary school pupils. Annual eye examination and provision of affordable spectacles to school pupils with refractive error is recommended to reduce the impact of VI on their educational achievement.

Published: December 2022

Oilseed crop sesame is mainly grown in tropical and subtropical parts of the world. Plants seeds contain 42-54% quality oil, 22-25% protein and 20-25% carbohydrates. Sesame seeds with high amounts of nutritional components are consumed as a traditional health food for its specific antioxidative activity. This crop is frequently cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions of the world.
A research was carried out at in South Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey in Siirt where continental climate prevails, with the aim to select the best genotypes from a total of 23 different sesame genotypes showing high performance in terms of germination date, vegetation period, the first flowering time, the last flowering time, plant height, first branch height, number of branches, number of capsules per plant and yield.
As a result of the study, significant variations were determined between genotypes for the observed parameters in the study. Plant height, first branch height, branches number, capsules number per plant, seed number per capsule were between 80,8-115,9 cm; 5,9-18,3 cm; 3,1-8,5 pieces; 65,6-154,2 pieces; 62,8-135,2 pieces, respectively. The seed yield values were lowest (38,2 kg/da) and highest (97,4 kg/da) at SUS10 and SUS1 genotypes, respectively. The differences between the genotypes might be due to the inherent genetic potential differences of the genotypes and appeared phenotype in tested environments. As a conclusion, SUS1 genotype fit well to Siirt conditions. Branch number was negatively effected the seed yield where highest yield was obtained under lowest branch number and vice versa. As a result, it was determined that sesame species can be cropped under Siirt ecological conditions with good seed yield levels.

ABSTRACT
Aims:It was aimed to evaluate the effect of yogurt consumption containing Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Lactobacillus acidophilus probiotic bacteria on the celiac markers, biochemical values and clinical symptoms of celiac diseas.
Methods:Fifty celiac patients with positive anti-tissue transglutaminase(anti-tTG) IgA values were evaluated prospectively. The patients were divided into two groups. One group was recommended only gluten-free diet(GFD),while the other group was recommended to eat 200 mL probiotic yogurt containing Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Lactobacillus acidophilus daily in addition to GFD. The change in biochemical values, vitamin levels, celiac markers and clinical symptoms of both groups was examined after three months of yogurt consumption.
Results:Anti-tTg IgA,anti-deamidated gliadin peptide antibody(anti-DGP) IgA and anti-endomysium antibody(EMA) levels of the two groups decreased significantly after three months in both groups.There was a significant decrease in EMA levels in the probiotic yogurt+GFD group(p=0.025) when compared with GFD group. Vitamin D and ferritin levels of the probiotic yogurt+GFD group increased significantly after three months(respectively p=0.004;p=0.039). Folate, vitamin D and iron levels of GFD group increased significantly(respectively p=0.002;p=0.007;p=0.007). In both groups, clinical symptoms significantly decreased after three months. There was a significant decrease in the abdominal pain symptoms in the probiotic yogurt+GFD group when compared with GFD group(p=0.012).
