Abstract

Objective: Study of morphological changes in the endometrium and fetal membranes during spontaneous abortions in 9-12 weeks of pregnancy to clarify the etiopathogenetic mechanisms. Materials and methods: Study material was endometrial scrapings with components of fetoplacental tissue obtained after spontaneous abortions (176 cases) in 9-12 weeks of pregnancy, received at the Republican Pathological Bureau from several City Maternity Hospitals of Bishkek (Kyrgyz Republic). The histological sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and a mixture of acid fuchsin and picric acid. The Periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) reaction was performed. Results: Of the 176 cases in 80 cases, by the medical reports, pregnant women had concomitant gynecological infectious pathology in the form of chronic endometritis, chronic salpingoophoritis, chlamydia, colpitis, and adnexitis. Histological examination revealed inflammatory changes in the form of deciduitis (24.5% of cases), endometritis (20.5% of cases), villitis (17.3% of cases) in 70% of cases. Pathological changes in the decidual membrane are determined as foci of leukocyte infiltration in 65% of cases, in 30% - foci of necrosis and in 20% - foci of hemorrhage. In 60% of cases, as their combination. Conclusion: Histological examination of endometrial scrapings and fetal membranes after spontaneous abortions in 9-12 week pregnant women, with a history of infectious inflammatory pathology, revealed the tissue inflammatory changes of varying severity, with the following additional microscopic characteristics: the compact arrangement of endometrial glands, weak vascularization of villus chorion; sclerotic, dystrophic, and necrotic changes with hemorrhages in the endometrium and decidual membrane.

Abstract

The main role of lecturers at Tri Dharma University, namely education, research, and community service. That makes them have certain responsibilities which if it lasts a long time will cause stress. This study aims to determine the correlation between work time and mental workload with work stress on college lecturers in Surabaya. This descriptive study was conducted on 43 active lecturers who teach at a university in Surabaya. The results of this study were analyzed to determine the lecturer’s length of work, the mental workload of lecturers with categories from NASA TLX and their correlation with work stress. The results stated that 22 people had worked for more than 20 years, as many as 25 people had very high mental workloads, and 30 people with mild stress. Most of the lecturers already have a lot of experience and a large number of task demands but are still able to deal with everything well so that work stress does not arise. The correlation value between the length of work and work stress is 0.461, and the correlation value between mental workload and work stress is 0.808. This value states there is no correlation between the length of work and mental workload with work stress. Recommendations are given to universities, lecturers and all those involved in efforts to maintain the atmosphere and work culture to improve comfort for all parties, such as adding green areas in the workspace, providing remuneration for lecturers who excel, and maintaining communication between lecturers.

The aim of this study was to determine the profile of fatal poisoning cases in and around Gulbarga district & to find out its correlates. Methodology- The present study is a retrospective study of fatal poisoning autopsy cases performed at GIMS, District Hospital, Kalaburagi, Karnataka from January 2018 to December 2018. During this period a total of 647 autopsy cases were conducted of which 85 cases were due to fatal poisoning. Relevant information and subjective data like age, sex, marital status, religion, seasonal variation, type of poison consumed and manner of death have been collected from medicolegal autopsy register, police inquest and treatment history using a predesigned proforma. Results- A total of 647 cases were autopsied during the year Jan 2018-Dec 2018. Out of 647 cases 85.9% cases were due to unnatural deaths of which 85 cases (13.1%) were due to suspected poisoning. In our study males outnumbered females with 67 cases (78.8%) compared to females with 18 cases (21.2%), maximum number of cases were in the age group between 21-30 years with 36 cases (42.4%). Maximum number of cases were from rural locality with 69 cases (81.2%) & majority of poisoning cases were seen during summer with 42 cases (49.4%). Maximum number of deaths were due to suicide (95.2%) followed by accidental poisoning (4.8%). Majority of poisoning cases were seen in Hindu population (82.3%) and maximum cases were seen in married people (74.1%). Conclusion- Agrochemical pesticides especially Organophosphorus compounds are responsible for most of the poison related fatalities, which is seen in our present study. Strict legal enforcement in selling and handling of agrochemicals is the need of the hour, and establishment of poison detection centres and early management of poisoning cases at all hospitals, primary health care centres could considerably minimise the morbidity and mortality due to poisoning.

Abstract

Background: Obesity can cause mechanical effects on spine, particularly lumbar spine, thus increased weight will cause spine, tendon and ligament muscle tensions. These problems can change lumbar curve with increased anterior pelvic tilt and hip flexion to maintain normal posture that may eventually cause low back pain. Women may experience weight gain, and it can cause low back pain. However, correlation between increased body mass index and low back pain is still debatable. Objective: The research aimed to analyze correlation between women’s body mass index and mechanical low back pain. Method: A total of 12 patients aged 50-60 were the subjects of the research. The subjects’ body mass index, pain scale and lumbosacral axis were measured. The study protocol was approved by the ethics committees of Dr. Soetomo Teaching Hospital (Surabaya, Indonesia). The correlation test was conducted using Pearson’s correlation test (Significant if p<0.05). Results: The research found no correlation between increased body mass index and low back pain (p = 0.47), while there was a correlation between increased body mass index and lumbosacral axis (p = 0.04). Moreover, there was no correlation between increased lumbosacral axis and low back pain (p = 0.07) Conclusion: The study found that the more the body mass index increased, the lumbosacral axis also increased, whereas no correlation between body mass index and low back pain.

Abstract

This paper discussed some Criminal Laws on LGBT community regulated in the Criminal Code and in special legal provisions outside the Criminal Code. It also discussed criminalization toward LGBT people through the Aceh Perda, regulated in the Aceh Qanun and its implementation through the Banda Aceh Sharia Court. In the criminal law stipulated in the Indonesian Criminal Code today and in the legal provisions outside the Penal Code, some of the illegal acts committed by LGBT people are liable to imprisonment. The criminal law stipulated in the Aceh Qanun cleanly regulates the acts of lesbian and gay people as the ones which are strictly prohibited and liable to being punished. Therefore, based on this Aceh Qanun, their acts are considered as criminal acts. Aceh Qanun (which is considered as the Aceh Perda or Government Regulation), has criminalized the acts of LGBT people. In Aceh, committing sexual intercourse of gays and lesbians has been formulated in Article 63 and Article 64 of the Aceh Qanun No. 6/2014. The violation against these Articles has been implemented on the perpetrators who are punished with ‘uqubat’ or whipped 85 times before public as it is found in the Banda Aceh Sharia Court’s Verdict No. 19/JN/2017/Ms.Bna on May 17, 2017
