Study of thyroid lesions based on cytological and histopathological comparison
Authors: Naganna S , Gupta Gunjan 
Published: November 2022

Thyroid swelling is one of the most common indications for surgical excision. Since most of the swellings are benign and with euthyroid status, these patients do not require surgical excision. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a rapid, efficient, inexpensive and safe diagnostic method in these cases. FNAC has some limitations, particularly limited to representatives of samples and exact typing of benign and malignant neoplastic lesions. Thus, FNAC alone may not give a confirmative diagnosis regarding few thyroid lesions. Hence, histopathological study has been the standard technique for the diagnosis of thyroid lesions. To study the accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of thyroid swellings and to correlate with histopathology so as to avoid unnecessary surgeries for benign lesions.This was a prospective study done on 55 cases wherein Fine Needle Aspiration cytology was done followed by histopathology. The reports on both modalities were correlated and sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated. In the present study, females (72.7%) outnumbered males (27.2%). Non neoplastic lesions constituted 83.3% in our study. Among Non-neoplastic lesions, Nodular goiter was most commonly reported and constituted 49% cases. The sensitivity and specificity for thyroid FNAC are reasonably good. FNAC is a minimally invasive, low cost testing modality. It accurately diagnoses malignant thyroid lesions. It has good specificity and accuracy but is less sensitive in diagnosing definitive etiology. However, it is an important diagnostic test to guide the management of thyroid lesions.

Psoriasis is an immune-arbitrated cutaneous disorder in which both genetic and habitational factors play a decisive role. Certain endocrinological disturbances like thyroid dysfunction can exacerbate the disease. This research aspires in knowing the prevalence of thyroid disease in psoriatic patients and the severity of psoriasis in those with thyroid disease with age and gender-evened controls. This was a case-referent study encompassing 100 adult psoriasis patients and 100 age and gender-evened healthy controls. The statistical differences between proportions were determined by chi-square analysis. A P-value of &#60;0.05 was regarded as significant.In the current study, thyroid dysfunction was present in 20 % of cases and 8% of controls and serum TSH levels were significant among cases, with a p-value of 0.046. There was a clear association betwixt the psoriasis area severity index (PASI) and presence of thyroid dysfunction with a significant P-value of &#60; 0.001. There was also a positive correlation between familial incidence of psoriasis and the presence of thyroid dysfunction in conjunction with span of psoriasis and the presence of thyroid dysfunction providing significant P-values of &#60;0.001 and &#60;0.002, correspondingly. Observations from our study provide compelling evidence that psoriasis is associated with thyroid dysfunction, which may affect the quality of life, as we documented higher PASI scores in psoriatics with thyroid dysfunction than those with normal thyroid function. It also highlights the importance of adopting a multidimensional approach for the management of psoriasis.

Liver is vulnerable to a wide variety of metabolic, toxic, circulatory insults and is affected by a wide spectrum of various primary and secondary diseases. Liver biopsy contributes greatly to the understanding of liver diseases & is considered gold standard for evaluating liver disorders, providing information regarding diagnosis, disease progression and response to therapy. Being an invasive procedure with certain unavoidable risks, with proper procedural precautions and careful selection of patients, complications and risks can be greatly minimized. To study histopathological features of liver biopsies in patients with liver disease. To document the pattern of various hepatic lesions. To document various types of lesions predominant in different age groups. A prospective study was conducted in Department of Pathology of tertiary care hospital of Ahmedabad over a period of two years which included 74 liver biopsies. Clinical, demographic and pathologic data was collected and analysed for each case. Out of total 74 liver biopsy specimen, 47.29% cases were males, 52.70% were females. Malignant lesions were most common finding (52/74), out of which 37(50%) were metastatic adenocarcinoma, 10 (13.51%) were hepatocellular carcinoma and 5 (6.75%) were cholangiocarcinoma. Non neoplastic lesions included 10 cases which were of hepatitis, cirrhosis, hemangioma, biliary atresia and hydatid cyst formation. In 12 cases (16.21%), there were no significant findings. Thehistopathological study of liver biopsy forms the cornerstone in the diagnosis and management of various hepatic diseases.

Published: November 2022

Legg calves Perthes disease (LCPD) is caused mainly due to idiopathic osteonecrosis or AVN of the proximal femoral epiphysis leading to remodelling during period of development, this will gradually progress into onset of hip osteoarthritis depending upon the rate at which the sphericity and congruency of the femoral head deteriorate. LCPD is usually associated with a hinge abduction deformity, in this condition the major aspherical portion of the head is shifted laterally, in such deformity; Valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy has to been utilized for correction. Cheilectomy deals with excision of exuberant portion of femoral head epiphysis, thereby eliminating hinged abduction and facilitating containment, which also maintains the blood supply, buy protecting the surrounding soft tissue structures. We have included 10 patients for this study, from age group 9-16yrs, between July 15th to April 18. The criteria for patient selection being primarily adolescent age with radiological evidence of LCPD, with coxa plana and decreased range of motion. Patient under 10 years of age and with history of previous surgeries have been excluded. All the patients were planned preoperatively and operated under spinal anaesthesia. Through posterior kocherlangenback approach, capsulotomy was doneposterior-superiorly and lateral protuberance was identified and excised. A common feature through most surgeries being femoro-acetabular impingement (CAM type) secondary to aspherical femoral head. There were a total of 7 cases of complex CAM type deformities and 3 pincer induced deformities. Postoperatively weight bearing and ROM was restricted for 4 weeks. Physiotherapy protocol was followed for improving ROM. Patients were followed at 4,8,12 weeks to evaluate clinical and radiological progress.Majority of the patient experienced improved pain after surgical intervention and 1 patient had worsening of pain at 3 months of followup. 2 patients had complication of delayed wound healing due to superficial infections. No further complications such as osteonecrosis and non-union were not observed.Though this study we can conclude that osteochondroplasty of the femoral head and neck performed in conjunction with other procedures, through the surgical dislocation of hip approach has improved pain and restored function in a majority of the patients, while avoiding any dreaded complications. Although the results were satisfactory in a 3 month follow up, we may conclude that a long term follow up is needed for the efficacy of this method in restoration of painless joint function and avoidance of arthroplasty at a later date.
Piękno i wymagania małżeńskiej miłości w nauczaniu Jana Pawła II
Authors: Brzeziński Mirosław 
Published: November 2022

Doświadczenie miłości jest jednym z podstawowych doświadczeń człowieka, które stanowi o jego szczęściu i spełnieniu. Każdy człowiek poszukuje miłości, pragnie być nią obdarowany i nią obdarowywać. Często jednak napotyka na trudności w poznaniu prawdy o tym, czym jest miłość, zadawalając się jej namiastkami, fałszywym rozumieniem, spłyceniem jej tylko do uczucia, a nawet egoizmu. A tymczasem prawda o miłości wskazuje, że jest ona piękna, daje człowiekowi szczęście, pozwala na jego rozwój, gdy stawia wymagania. W sposób szczególny dotyczy to miłości małżeńskiej, która ma stać na straży trwałości i nierozerwalności małżeństwa, bycia z sobą do końca życia oraz odpowiedzialności za przekazanie życia dzieciom. Prawdę o pięknie i wymaganiach miłości ukazał nam Jezus Chrystus, a najpełniej zrealizowali małżonkowie z Nazaretu – Maryja i Józef.
Tę prawdę o pięknie, trudzie i wymaganiach stawianych przez miłość ukazano w artykule poprzez analizę nauczania Jana Pawła II, skierowanego zwłaszcza do młodych i do małżonków, w których wskazuje on, że miłość jest piękna właśnie poprzez to, że stawia wymagania, wymagania te zaś są skierowane najpierw do osoby kochającej. Miłość jest bowiem bezwarunkowa i kocha się drugą osobę nie przez to, co może ona dać, ale ze względu na wartość samej osoby. Taka bezwarunkowa, wymagająca i tym samym piękna miłość stoi także na straży godności człowieka – tego, który jest kochany, i tego, który kocha.

BACKGROUND: Achilles tendon pain is present in tendons’ non-rupture injuries usually exacerbated by mechanical loading (i.e., overuse injury).Photobiomodulation is a light therapy that may reduce pain in tendinopathy.
AIM: This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials tested the acute and chronic effects of photobiomodulation on Achilles tendon pain.
METHOD: Randomized clinical trials were included comparing photobiomodulation with a control group in patients with Achilles tendon pain.The search included MEDLINE (Pubmed), SCOPUS, EMBASE, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Cochrane CENTRAL), LILACS, and Science Direct databases, and manual search until November 2021.The bias’s risk was assessed by the Cochrane Collaboration bias risk assessment tool and PEDro scale, while the level of evidence strength by the GRADE. Quantitative analysis through meta-analyzes was performed. The protocol was registered (PROSPERO-CRD42018091509).
RESULTS: The search yielded 3.239 papers in the seven databases. Five studies were included after screening, eliminating duplicates, and applying eligibility criteria, and three were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis (n=79) showed no photobiomodulation acute and chronic effects compared with control group on Achilles tendon pain (p= 0.45, SMD: 0.28). In the qualitative analysis, three studies showed a high risk, and two studies a low risk of bias in all characteristics. GRADE analysis showed very low- to low-quality evidence of the studies.
CONCLUSION: There is no photobiomodulation effect in Achilles tendon pain. Due to the very low and low strength of evidence, new studies with better methodological quality should be conducted to improve the level of evidence.

Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: The fronto-central slow-wave known as the contingent negative variation (CNV) is an electroencephalographic measure related to the ability of the motor system to extract spatial-temporal regularities to produce a motor response.
AIM: This study aimed to investigate the levels of electrocortical activity prior to predictable and unpredictable stimuli in a motor control task, and the association between CNV and reaction time (RT).
METHOD: Seventeen participants performed a task that consisted of removing the right index finger from the space bar as fast as possible after stimulus onset. All participants practiced under both a predictable (PC) and an unpredictable (UC) context.
RESULTS: Results indicated that RT under the unpredictable context was slower than under the predictable context. However, CNV levels under predictable and unpredictable contexts did not differ.
CONCLUSION: The certainty of stimulus appearance in the UC may have produced effects similar to those under the PC, resulting in similar CNV levels. However, the use of this mechanism under the UC was suboptimal to motor performance.

Abstract
From the last few periods, breast cancer is the foremost reason for cancer-related huge death rates in the midst of females. However, the recent study detection and diagnosis of these types of issues can successfully decrease the death rate. Masses are unique indicators of undetectable breast cancer noticeable in mammograms whose identification and judgment is a more complex or stimulating job due to its restrained natural surroundings. The seriousness of this issue is to motivate the scientists of different areas for their solution. With the great inspiration of this learning, in this work we are tried to present a new hybrid algorithm with the integration powerful features of two different algorithms such as African Vultures Optimization Algorithm (AVOA) and Sine Cosine Optimization Algorithm (SCA) and it is called AVSC method for identify the breast cancer. The features of the sine cosine algorithm helps to improve the exploitation and exploration phases of the basic AVOA method. This enhancement has been designed to improve the premature convergence, avoiding the local optima and fast convergence speed and many more. To verify the performance of the proposed scheme have been verified 29-CEC ’2017 test functions. Moreover, the AVSC method has been successfully applied on the two different mini-MIAS and DDSM databases including 68 and 500 mammograms, etc and attained a highest rate of sensitivity and false positives per image for the respective datasets. Hence, the tabulated results give the strong evidence that the AVSC is able to effectively resolve the highly complex tasks that others whole could be more helpful in biomedical sciences.
