Authors: Subha Sethu Thakachy , Sanjurjo Andrea , Poyet Karen Masterson , Marchal Francis 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background
Liposarcomas are malignant tumours of adipocytic differentiation and their occurrence within the head and neck region is very uncommon. Lipomas are the most common types of benign mesenchymal tumours. The clinical, histological and imaging features of well-differentiated liposarcoma may resemble that of lipoma, causing challenges in the diagnosis. The management and prognosis of benign lipomas and well-differentiated liposarcoma are different.

Case presentation
A 73-year-old man presented with a painless soft mass in the left temporal region for 15 years with recent rapid growth. The scalp mass was clinically diagnosed as lipoma, while MRI suspected an atypical lipomatous lesion. Complete surgical resection was performed, and histopathological examination confirmed a well-differentiated liposarcoma.
The patient recovered completely and will be followed up with long-term surveillance.

Conclusion
This report is to highlight that clinicians must have a high index of suspicion for this rare entity when dealing with scalp masses and suspicious radiological findings, which can affect the overall management and prognosis.

Authors: Choi Yoon Joo , Jeon Kug Jin , Lee Ari , Han Sang-Sun , Lee Chena 
Published: November 2022

Objective: This study aimed to identify robust radiomic features in multiultrasonography of the submandibular gland and normalize the interdevice discrepancies by applying a machine-learning-based harmonization method. Methods: Ultrasonographic images of normal submandibular gland of young healthy adults, aged between 20 and 40 years, were selected from two different devices. In a total of 30 images, the region of interest was determined along the border of gland parenchyma, and 103 radiomic features were extracted using A-VIEW. The coefficient of variation (CV) was obtained for individual features, and the features showing CV less than 10% were selected. For the selected features, the interdevice discrepancy was normalized using machine-learning method, called the ComBat harmonization. Median differences of the features between the two scanners, before and after harmonization, were compared using Mann–Whitney U-test; confidence interval of 95%. Results: Among total 103 radiomic features, 17 features were selected as robust, showing CV less than 10% in both scanners. All values of selected features, except two, showed a statistical difference between the two devices. After applying the ComBat harmonization method, the median and distribution of the 16 features were harmonized to show no significant difference between the two scanners (p > 0.05). One feature remained different (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: On ultrasonographic examination, robust radiomic features for normal submandibular gland were obtained and interdevice normalization was efficiently conducted using ComBat harmonization. Our findings would be useful for multidevices or multicenter studies based on clinical ultrasonographic imaging data to improve the accuracy of the overall diagnostic model.

Published: November 2022

Background: Angiosarcoma is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma that can arise in any soft-tissue structure or viscera. Only individual case reports and small series of gastrointestinal angiosarcoma have been reported in the literature. In this paper, we report the first African case of small intestine epithelioid angiosarcoma. Case report: Here, we present the case of a 66-year-old man who presented with melena and anemia. Physical examination showed the presence of two subcutaneous masses on the right and left flanks. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, duodenoscopy and jejunoscopy revealed multiple purpuric and hemorrhagic nodules and masses, some of which were bleeding. Pathological study of the ampullary formation and of a subcutaneous nodule concluded to the diagnosis of epithelioid angiosarcoma. Blood transfusions and interventional endoscopy by argan plasma coagulation were required due to a continued drop in hemoglobin. A drop in hemoglobin persisted and the patient died within 10 days. Conclusions: Angiosarcoma has a very poor prognosis due to delayed prognosis and insufficient therapeutic management. Interventional endoscopy to control bleeding can be considered in localized forms. Chemotherapy may help to prolong survival in metastatic and disseminated angiosarcoma. Further studies should be conducted to improve the prognosis.
Modern approaches to address the concept of territorial division in Islamic jurisprudence
Authors: Alotaibi Hajed A. 
Published: November 2022

Background: This article examines how current jurists can deal with a juristic division of the world into abode of "Islam” and “infidelity". The success with which jurists re-evaluate this dichotomy will have major impacts on how an Islamic state interacts with non-Muslim governments on the one hand, and Muslims residing temporarily or permanently in a non-Muslim territory on the other. Methods: Here, an attempt made to review the concepts of Dar Al-Islam and Dar Al-Harb from two perspectives: that of the dialectical limits and liberalization, as discussed in secondary material such as books, research articles, and reports. Results: this paper has explored and discussed the criteria for identifying Dar Al-Islam and Dar Al-Harb in Islamic jurisprudence. Conclusions: This article analyzes the various arguments put forward to establish new ways of peaceful coexisting and maintaining healthy international connections.
Gastroprotective effect of Zinnia elegans extracts against ethanol-induced gastric mucosal damage through downregulation of TLR4 and inflammatory cytokines
Authors: Essam Hameed Zinah , Majeed Shareef Saja , G. Shareef Laith , Majid Alsaraf Khulood 
Published: November 2022

Background: One of the most common gastrointestinal diseases is gastric ulcer (GU). The ethanolic extract from the aerial part of Zinnia elegans was created to test its ability to protect the gastric mucosa from damage caused by ethanol in mice. Method: Zinnia elegans ethanolic extract was administrated intragastrically once daily for three days. After the final intragastric dose, gastric ulcer in mice was created on the third day using 70% ethanol. The stomach tissues were extracted to assess the severity of the gastric mucosal changes. Results: Orally administered Zinnia elegans ethanolic extract reduced the severity of stomach mucosal changes. In addition, the levels of tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), interleukin-1B (IL‐1β), and tool-like receptor (TLR4) activity in stomach tissues were all dramatically reduced after oral administration of the extract. These findings demonstrate that the anti-inflammatory properties of Zinnia elegans ethanolic extract protect against ethanol-induced stomach mucosal damage in mice. Conclusions: The results of this investigation offer some support for the creation of new treatments for stomach ulcers as an alternative to treating gastric damage brought on by alcohol consumption.
Developing consensus-based recommendations for the delivery of dementia services for the LGBTQIA+ community in the Republic of Ireland
Authors: Oglesby Megan H. , Hynes Sinéad M. 
Published: November 2022

Background: The number of older LGBTQIA+ adults is set to rise significantly in the coming years. The rising numbers sit together with the rise in the number of people in Ireland diagnosed with dementia. In Ireland, no dementia-specific services exist for people from the LGBTQIA+ community. The aim of this research was to 1) identify the future needs that older LGBTQIA+ people and their care partners living in Ireland have in relation to dementia care service delivery; and to 2) develop consensus-based recommendations for dementia service provision in Ireland. Methods: A six-phase consensus process was used to develop the lists of needs and recommendations: 1) development; 2) national survey; 3) interviews with key stakeholders; 4) international review of best practice; 5) consensus meeting; 6) final member checking. Participants, aged over 50, were based in Ireland, identified as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or supported someone who is/was. Results: Results are reported from the survey (n=49), individual interviews (n=8), and the consensus meeting (n=10). Participants have concerns related to identity management and suppression, creating an LGBTQIA+ affirmative ethos and workforce, and respect and safety. From the results and consensus process, a full list of ten prioritised needs and recommendations have been developed that focus specifically on dementia care in Ireland for the LGBTQIA+ community. Conclusion: The older LGBTQIA+ community has identified essential priorities for improving healthcare access and safety. These priorities now need to be urgently implemented into clinical and dementia care services.

The richness of linked population data provides exciting opportunities to understand local health needs, identify and predict those in most need of support and evaluate health interventions. There has been extensive investment to unlock the potential of clinical data for health research in the UK. However, most of the determinants of our health are social, economic, education, environmental, housing, food systems and are influenced by local authorities. The Connected Bradford Whole System Data Linkage Accelerator was set up to link health, education, social care, environmental and other local government data to drive learning health systems, prevention and population health management. Data spanning a period of over forty years has been linked for 800,000 individuals using the pseudonymised NHS number and other data variables. This prospective data collection captures near real time activity. This paper describes the dataset and our Connected Bradford Whole System Data Accelerator Framework that covers public engagement; practitioner and policy integration; legal and ethical approvals; information governance; technicalities of data linkage; data curation and guardianship; data validity and visualisation.
The feasibility of an objective measure of the parent-child relationship in health visiting practice: assessment of the Maternal Postnatal Attachment Scale
Authors: Dunn Abigail , Bird Philippa K , Endacott Charlotte , Bywater Tracey , Howes Joanna , Dickerson Josie 
Published: November 2022

Background: Positive parent infant relationships are key to achieving long term child outcomes. Identifying parents who may need support is difficult because of a lack of robust assessment tools. Working in partnership with health services we piloted the Maternal Postnatal Attachment Scale (MPAS) in a deprived, multi-ethnic urban community in Bradford, UK. The pilot aimed to assess the clinical utility of MPAS to identify need for support: Was it administered to a representative group of women? Is MPAS valid for this population? Methods: Data were linked to a cohort study in the pilot area (Born in Bradford’s Better Start - BiBBS). Chi Square tests assessed sample representativeness (age, ethnicity, parity, English language, education, deprivation). Exploratory factor analysis explored MPAS’ validity. Results: 563 women in BiBBS were eligible, 210 (37%) completed MPAS. No differences were found between completers and non-completers, suggestive of a representative sample. In total, 336 women (including a number of women living in the service area who had not participated in BiBBS) completed MPAS in the pilot. MPAS had ceiling effects and a satisfactory factor structure could not be identified, indicating poor psychometric properties. Conclusions: Health visitors were successful in administering MPAS to a representative sample, but the lack of psychometric robustness indicates that MPAS is unsuitable for routine use in this setting. A gap for such a measure remains.

Authors: Vahnina Viktoriya , Stopchenko Stepan 
Published: November 2022

The problem of psychological diagnostics of professional motivation of candidates for service in the internal affairs bodies and employees appointed to other positions is relevant and largely determines the effectiveness of professional activity.
Of particular importance is the choice of a methodological approach to the implementation of psychological diagnostics of professional motivation of employees of internal affairs bodies. The system-situational approach combined with a reflexive approach is the most productive by the authors. The role of situational approach to motivation assessment is considered. The authors consider motivation as an integral state, which is determined by the presence of the actual needs of the individual and the corresponding situation.
In the course of the theoretical analysis and empirical research, we have concluded about the significance and effectiveness of the system-situational approach, using which it becomes possible to effectively conduct psychodiagnostic procedures. Psychological features of professional motivation of candidates for service and employees appointed to other positions were revealed.

Published: November 2022

Introduction and purpose:
Bartholin's glands are paired structures, playing a significant role in lubricating the vagina through the production of mucus. They are physiologically undetectable, but when their ducts are clogged, the accumulating secretion can lead to various pathologies. The most common are cysts and abscesses, the symptomatic conditions of which are the causes of nearly 2% of gynecological visits annually. Statistically, they most frequently occur in women of childbearing age, however, young age is not a rule. The aim of the study is to summarize the state of knowledge about Bartholin's gland cysts and abscesses, with an indication of the currently used therapies.
State of knowledge:
In some cases, the course of these pathologies can be asymptomatic, however, the rest of the patients may experience unpleasant symptoms and require treatment. During diagnostics, it is important to carefully collect an interview and conduct a physical examination, because in most cases on this basis it is possible to make an accurate diagnosis. However, in case of doubt, imaging tests can also be used. There may be times when patients with asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment. Nevertheless, choosing the right therapy is sometimes challenging for the clinician due to the potential risk of symptoms recurring.
Conclusion:
Although there are many different treatments available, the most commonly used appears to be marsupialization or incision and drainage with Word catheter placement. Additionally, an increasing number of articles devoted to the use of the CO2 laser can also be observed, but even it has its drawbacks. For this reason, there is still a need for further research into new methods of treatment that would ensure both good results and high comfort for the patients.
