Unusual Exaggerated Inflammatory Response in Fuchs Uveitis
Authors: Karkhur Samendra , Soni Deepak , Patel Smita , Sharma Ria , Nyodu Richa , Sharma Bhavana 
Published: November 2022

Objective:
To report a case of Fuchs uveitis with an unusual exaggerated inflammatory response in the form of multifocal fibrin deposition.

Case Report:
Fuchs uveitis syndrome (FUS) has a characteristic clinical appearance but is frequently overlooked when heterochromia is subtle or absent. Specific atrophic changes in the iris, keratic precipitates, minimal cells and flare, the lack of posterior synechia, and the frequent presence of cataract and secondary glaucoma represent the clinical spectrum observed during the usual natural course of FUS. The occurrence of multifocal fibrin deposition on the entire iris surface in a young Indian male patient who presented with the clinical picture of Fuchs uveitis is reported. The finding of multifocal fibrin was unusual and thought to be an exaggerated inflammatory response in FUS. The patient was managed with topical corticosteroid therapy which resulted in complete resolution of fibrin. Regular follow-up was advised in view of the chronic nature of the disease and predisposition to complicated cataract and secondary glaucoma.

Authors: Liu Ke , Zhu Ming , Dong Sudan 
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND:
Brain abscess is a rare disease in childhood requiring prompt medical and/or surgical treatment. The objective was to discuss the head computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of children with brain abscess in congenital heart disease (CHD) group compared with the group without CHD, further comprehend the imaging findings, and assess the severity of brain abscess in children with CHD.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The radiological features of brain abscess in children hospitalized in Shanghai Children's Medical Center between September 2014 and September 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.

RESULTS:
Forty-four children (14 females, 30 males), with a median age of 8.6 years (range 2–15 years), were enrolled in this study. CHD was found in 22 cases. Twenty-one of these 22 patients were with cyanotic CHD. The remaining 22 cases were without CHD. Among the 22 patients with CHD, superficial abscesses of 2–5 cm in diameter are the main imaging findings, which was the same as in children without CHD. In our study, brain abscesses of CHD are usually single, while other brain abscesses are usually multiple in children without CHD. There was statistically significant difference in the number of abscesses between the group with CHD and the group without CHD (χ2 = 6.3, P = 0.04). Compared with no CHD children, the nearest distance from the ventricular wall to the margin of brain abscess in children with CHD is often <7 mm.

CONCLUSIONS:
Brain abscesses in children with CHD have some special imaging characteristics. Superficial abscesses of 2–5 cm in diameter are the main imaging findings. Brain abscesses of CHD are usually single, while other brain abscesses are usually multiple in children without CHD. Compared with no CHD children, the nearest distance from the ventricular wall to the margin of brain abscess in children with CHD is shorter.

Authors: Miao Zhoulin , Bo Ren , Xia Yuwei , Liu Wenya 
Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate predictive models based on a combination of T2-weighted images (T2WI) and different machine learning algorithms, and to explore the value of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) activity assessment by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This retrospective study included 136 patients diagnosed with HAE at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between 2012 and 2020. All subjects underwent MRI and positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) before surgery. Taking the PET-CT examination results as the reference standard, patients were divided into active (90 cases) and inactive groups (46 cases). The volume of interest of the lesion was manually delineated on T2WI, and quantitative radiomics features were extracted. Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technology was used to balance the number of patients in the categories. To control for redundancy, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used for feature screening after normalization, and ten optimal features were obtained based on correlation coefficient screening. Three machine learning classifiers were trained using five-fold cross-validation and their performance was compared to establish an optimal HAE activity assessment model. The performance of the classifier was evaluated by area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy (ACC). The ten optimal features selected from each fold were combined using three machine learning algorithms: logistic regression, multilayer perceptron (MLP), and support vector machine, to establish an HAE activity prediction model.

RESULTS:
The three machine learning classifiers all showed good prediction performance with a mean AUC on the test set of more than 0.80, and the MLP showing the best performance (AUC = 0.830 ± 0.053, ACC = 0.817, sensitivity = 0.822, and specificity = 0.811).

CONCLUSION:
HAE activity can be accurately evaluated by a radiomics method using a combination of quantitative T2WI features and machine learning.
Neuroangiostrongyliasis: Global Spread of an Emerging Tropical Disease
Authors: Cowie Robert H. , Ansdell Vernon , Panosian Dunavan Claire , Rollins Randi L. 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT.
Neuroangiostrongyliasis (NAS) is an emerging parasitic disease caused by the neurotropic nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Since it was first discovered, in rats in southern China in the 1930s, this tropical to subtropical parasite has spread to much of Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands (including Hawaii), Australia, Japan, South America, the southeastern United States, the Caribbean, Africa, the Canary Islands, and the Balearic Islands. The parasite completes its natural life cycle in snails and slugs (intermediate hosts), and rats (definitive hosts). Humans become accidental hosts after ingesting infective third-stage larvae contained within uncooked or undercooked intermediate or paratenic hosts, an event that sometimes results in NAS, also known as rat lungworm disease. Although A. cantonensis larvae cannot complete their life cycle in humans, their migration into the brain and spinal cord combined with a powerful inflammatory reaction often leads to eosinophilic meningitis and can, in rare instances, lead to coma, paralysis, and death or, in other cases, chronic, disabling neurologic sequelae. Symptoms of NAS are diverse, which often makes it difficult to diagnose. Treatment may include administration of analgesics, corticosteroids, anthelminthics, and repeat lumbar punctures to reduce intracranial pressure. Unfortunately, few medical providers, even in endemic areas, are familiar with A. cantonensis or its epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment. As the parasite continues to spread and NAS affects more people, medical practitioners, as well as the general public, must become more aware of this emerging zoonosis and the potentially devastating harm it can cause.
Plasmodium vivax Relapse Rates in Allied Soldiers during the Second World War: Importance of Hypnozoite Burden
Authors: Shanks G. Dennis 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT.
Allied soldiers suffered repeated relapses of Plasmodium vivax malaria during and immediately after the Second World War. This surprised many military medical officers who had underestimated the huge casualties produced by P. vivax malaria. Tropical (Philippines) strains of P. vivax were known to relapse more frequently than those from temperate regions (the United States). Intense exposure to mosquito infection likely increased the absolute number of hypnozoites in soldiers’ livers. Both quinine and quinacrine were used as chemosuppressive agents, but their inconsistent use until at least 1943 promoted intermittent parasitological failures. Fear of hemolytic reactions after a mass casualty event in 1943 engendered fear and avoidance of the only 8-aminoquinoline pamaquine then available to cure relapses. Variable chemosuppression likely prevented acquisition of effective parasitological immunity. Unexpectedly high relapse rates in soldiers were likely an indirect measure of the high hypnozoite burden and suggest how difficult it will be to eliminate P. vivax malaria from endemic areas.

A brief review of Valsalva retinopathy
Authors: Asteris Petros , Kalogeropoulos Dimitrios , Moussa George , Iraklis Vitos Ioannis , Christodoulou Aikaterini , Kalogeropoulos Chris 
Published: November 2022

Background: Valsalva retinopathy is a specific type of retinopathy that appears following an acute rise in intrathoracic or intra-abdominal pressure. This review focuses on current literature and future directions for the diagnosis and management of Valsalva retinopathy.
Methods: In this brief review, the literature was searched to provide an extensive general and updated description of Valsalva retinopathy, focusing on its management and prognosis. Selected articles are summarized to present the etiology, general pathology, pathophysiology, symptoms, signs, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of Valsalva retinopathy.
Results: The main symptom of Valsalva retinopathy is loss of visual acuity following exertion. This is caused by the rupture of small superficial vessels in the macula and perimacular areas, leading to extravasation of blood. No link between age, sex, or race has been found, although fundus vessel abnormalities pose some predisposition to the disease. During fundoscopy, Valsalva retinopathy appears most frequently as well-defined preretinal hemorrhages confined to the sub-internal limiting membrane (ILM) or subhyaloid space. If ILM rupture occurs, hyaloid hemorrhage can appear. Diagnosis is based on the patient’s medical history and a standard examination. Usually, only observation of the patient is required, with the hemorrhage resolving within weeks to months. In cases of large premacular hemorrhage or large sub-ILM/subhyaloid hemorrhage, vitrectomy or Nd:YAG krypton laser membranotomy can be performed.
Conclusions: Of all the aspects of Valsalva retinopathy that might trouble the physician, the most challenging features are differential diagnosis and the choice of optimal treatment. Therapeutic strategies for Valsalva retinopathy can be either conservative or based on Nd:YAG laser membranotomy and/or vitrectomy. All methods seem to have good outcomes. However, physicians should not be afraid of advancing beyond conservative therapy, especially in the event of persistent premacular hemorrhage, which could lead to permanent retinal damage if valuable time is lost, even after vitrectomy.
Anggota Sujud dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an dan Hadis (Kajian Empat Mazhab Fikih)
Authors: Azizah Nur 
Published: November 2022

Abstrak: Amalan yang pertama kali dipertanggungjawabkan di akhirat kelak adalah ibadah salat, sehingga sebagai seorang muslim wajib memahami syari’at Islam yang berkaitan dengan salat baik salat fardhu ataupun salat sunnah, kedudukan salat pada hakikatnya sudah disinyalir dalam ajaran Islam agar dilaksanakan setiap muslim dalam keadaan apapun selama tidak dalam keadaan yang menghalangi dirinya untuk melaksanakan salat seperti haid, nifas, dan sebagainya, keadaan normal walaupun seseorang itu dalam keadaan sakit ataupun bepergian tetap diwajibkan untuk melaksanakan salat. Tuntunan Islam bagi setiap muslim untuk melaksanakan salat dalam keadaan sakit meliputi beberapa tahapan yaitu dengan berdiri, apabila tidak mampu maka dapat melaksanakannya dengan duduk, tidur miring, kemudian terlentang dan alternatif terakhir adalah dengan isyarat, kemudian bagi seseorang yang bepergian dengan jarak tempuhnya yang jauh maka dalam Islam diberikan sebuah keringanan dengan jamak/qasar. Pentingnya ibadah salat maka rukun, syarat sah dan hal yang membatalkan salat haruslah diketahui oleh setiap muslim, seperti halnya dalam rukun salat terdapat gerakan sujud dalam setiap rakaat. Sujud sendiri merupakan posisi menurunkan seluruh anggota tubuh menghadap kepada tempat sujud dengan posisi 7 anggota sujud yang harus berada di tanah (tempat sujud). Sujud merupakan posisi terendah seorang makhluk kepada tuhan-Nya karena dalam sujud seseorang memposisikan dirinya adalah seseorang yang membutuhkan tuhan sehingga dalam pelaksanaannya pun harus sesuai dengan syari’at Islam yang berlaku. Namun masih belum dijelaskan secara detil aturan gerakan yang sesuai tuntunan syari’at sehingga membutuhkan sumber hukum Islam yang lainnya yaitu as-sunnah/hadis.

Abstrak: Dalam sebuah ikatan perkawinan, banyak suami istri bahkan belum melaksanakan hak dan kewajiban sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku, dimana permasalahan yang sering muncul dalam suatu perkawinan yang sering menyebabkan istri mengajukan gugatan cerai kepada suaminya tidak lain karena suami tidak memberikan nafkah kepada istri. Oleh karena itu kasus ini merupakan kasus yang paling sering terjadi di Pengadilan Agama Kraksaan setelah dispensasi perkawinan, oleh karena itu penulis ingin membahas bagaimana putusan hakim agama dalam perkara perceraian yang digugat bagi suami yang tidak mencari nafkah di lingkungan agama Kraksaan. pengadilan dalam perspektif hukum Islam dan hukum positif. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif/penelitian lapangan (field research) dimana penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif. Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, dan wawancara. Disimpulkan bahwa tata cara pelaksanaan gugatan di Pengadilan Agama Kraksaan harus memenuhi persyaratan antara lain buku nikah dan KTP. Masalah cerai gugat pada suami yang tidak memberikan nafkah kepada istri menurut hukum positif telah diatur didalam Pasal 19 huruf (f) PP Nomor 9 Tahun 1975, KHI Pasal 116 (f). Menurut hukum Islam yaitu memperhatikan qoidah fiqhiyyah dan juga dalam Al-Qur'an surah al Baqoroh ayat 229 jika dikuatirkan keduanya tidak dapat menjalankan hukum Allah, maka istri tidak bersalah menebus dirinya kepada suaminya sehingga bahwa dia dapat dipisahkan dari suaminya.
ANALISIS KINERJA PRESBITER TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN GEREJA KIBAID JEMAAT MEBALI
Authors: Bokko' Melki 
Published: November 2022

Pertumbuhan merupakan kemutlakan bagi sebuah jemaat Kristen. Presbiter selaku pemimpin-pemimpin dalam jemaat memiliki peran signifikan di dalamnya. Di Gereja KIBAID Jemaat Mebali, pertumbuhan jemaat hanya mencapai angka 1,46% pertahun. Dengan metode perpustakaan dan teknik wawancara serta observasi terhadap anggota presbiter Gereja KIBAID Jemaat Mebali, penulis menemukan bahwa kemandekan tersebut dikarenakan kurang maksimalnya kinerja para presbiter. Dalam hal ini, kendatipun kinerja presbiter dalam beberapa segi sudah memuaskan, namun penginjilan sebagai satu gerakan mutlak dalam pertumbuhan gereja sesuai amanat agung belum menjadi prioritas untuk dilaksanakan dengan maksimal.
