Abstract

Presence of brain lesions ,either primary or metastatic lesions ,may be the cause of cognitive function deterioration among cancer patients. This leads to further deterioration in his physical ability and tolerance for oral feeding. All these deteriorations are translated in low palliative performance status scores and subsequently poor outcome and less hope for more days for the patients to live as stated by the studies that correlate the survival with the palliative performance scale.

Abstract

Uterine leiomyomas are highly common. Their incidence is generally cited as 20-25%, but has been  shown to be as high as 70-80% in studies using histologic or sonographic examination. Distant metastasis is extremely rare and is of unknown etiology. It primarily affects women of reproductive age and  might appear years after gynecological procedures such as myomectomy or hysterectomy.

Abstract

As a result of instant access to data, information and knowledge anywhere, anytime, today’s students have rapidly acquired educational opportunities. Online education continues to grow at a pace much faster than face to face enrollments. There is a need for faculty development and training who can teach with technology, design and develop online courses in order to meet the increasing student demand. Faculty barriers to online education include loss of interpersonal student relationships, technology challenges, pedagogical concerns, institutional policy problems and unidentified support or compensation for all associated processes. At the crossroads of problem identification, strategy, and adoption of innovation, Computation Thinking (CT) offers a logical, exploratory, expandable and collaborative way of solving a complex problem in a state of change. This paper aims to summarize and synthesize the literature on both CT and faculty barriers to adoption of online education. A further aim is to offer suggestions for collaborative faculty design and development opportunities in exploring their own experience with online education using CT as a framework for problem-solving.

Abstract

Fibular Aplasia-Tibial Campomelia-Oligosyndactyly, or FATCO, is a rare syndromic condition reported in 18 cases so far, from which only 3 were diagnosed at prenatal stages. In this study we report comprehensive clinical, placental and autopsy findings of four additional prenatal cases of FATCO, with the aim of further delineating this syndromic condition. Understanding this disorder at prenatal stages will allow for an earlier diagnosis through the identification of key features, thus permitting an adequate parental counselling about the pregnancy development.

Abstract

Presence of accessory cusp on the buccal surface of a tooth may occasionally pose problems to dentists. Although its presence may not be a cause for alarm in most instances, nevertheless it can lead to serious consequences if it is damaged. This report describes a rare finding of accessory cusp seen on the buccal surface of the 1st maxillary deciduous Molar and the need for continuous dental surveillance and preventive measures have been highlighted.

Abstract

Atrial remodeling, leading to atrial fibrillation (AF), is mediated by the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. Mild hypertensive outpatients (systolic/diastolic blood pressure 140–159/90–99 mmHg) in sinus rhythm who had experienced ≥ 1 electrocardiogram (ECG)-documented AF episode in the previous six months received randomly Telmisartan 80 mg/day or carvedilol 25 mg/day. Blood pressure and 24-hour ECG were monitored monthly for one year; patients were asked to report symptomatic AF episodes and to undergo an ECG as early as possible. One hundred and thirty-two patients completed the study (Telmisartan, n=70; carvedilol, n=62). Significantly fewer AF episodes were reported with Telmisartan versus carvedilol (14.3% vs. 37.1%; p<0.003). Left atrial diameter, assessed by echocardiography, was similar with Telmisartan and carvedilol (3.4±2.3 cm vs. 3.6±2.4 cm). At study end, both regimes significantly reduced mean left ventricular mass index, but the reduction obtained with Telmisartan was significantly greater than with carvedilol (117.8±10.7 vs. 124.7±14.5; p<0.0001). Mean blood pressure values were not significantly different between the groups (Telmisartan 154/97 to 123/75 mmHg; p<0.001; carvedilol 153/94 to 125/78 mmHg; p<0.001). Telmisartan was significantly more effective than carvedilol in preventing recurrent AF episodes in hypertensive AF patients, despite a similar lowering of blood pressure

Abstract

Introduction: Fresh-frozen cadaveric samples are often utilized for research and the study of anatomy. Thiel embalming offers the possibility of preserving human tissue and bone without requiring special freezing equipment. Thus mechanically testing Thiel embalmed bone to compare with fresh frozen samples becomes increasingly important.Method: The 1st and 5th metatarsals were harvested from 3 cadavers which had one foot fresh frozen and the other Thiel embalmed. These metatarsals underwent 3-point testing until fracture.Results: 5th metatarsal average fracture force for Thiel embalmed and fresh frozen samples was equal to 305N (SD241N) and 539N (SD232N) respectively. Similarly average fracture force for Thiel embalmed and fresh frozen 1st metatarsals was equal to 614N (SD192N) and 694 (SD273N) respectively.Conclusion: Thiel embalmed metatarsals yield at a lower force than fresh-frozen metatarsals obtained from the same cadaver. Thus one should be cautious about utilizing these preserved bones in situations where bone strength is required.

Abstract

The present study was designed to assess the comparative bio-equivalence of Flumisol®and Maquin® in healthybroiler chickens after oral administration of both products in a dose of 12 mg flumequine /kg.b.wt. Twenty four broilerchickens were divided equally into two groups (12 chickens for each group). The first group was designed to study thepharmacokinetics of Flumisol®, while the 2nd group was designed to study the pharmacokinetics of Maquin®. Eachbroiler chicken in both groups was orally administered with 12 mg flumequine /kg b.wt. Blood samples were obtainedfrom the wing vein and collected immediately before and at 0.08, 0.16, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours aftera single oral administration. The disposition kinetics of Flumisol® and Maquin® following oral administration of 12 mgflumequine/kg b.wt, revealed that the maximum blood concentration [Cmax] were 1.88 and 1.76 g/ml, attained at [tmax]of 1.42 and 1.41 hours, respectively.In conclusion: Maquin® is bioequivalent to Flumisol® since the ratios of Cmax, AUC0􀀀24 and AUC0􀀀1 (T/R) were0.93, 0.89 and 0.88, respectively. These are within the Bio-equivalence acceptance range. Flumisol® and Maquin®are therefore bioequivalent and interchangeable.
