Acid Phosphatase And Zinc Tests Are Effective For Semen Examination And Identification To Prove Intercourse, Ahmad Yudianto, Ariyanto Wibowo, Indah Nuraini, Htet Htet Aung

Folia Medica Indonesiana

The presence of spermatozoa in vagina is a definite sign of sexual intercourse. However, sometimes microscopic examination does not find spermatozoa or reveals a false negative result. This is influenced by many factors, including the absence of ejaculate in the vaginal canal. In addition, there are other factors such as oligo/azoospermia, vasectomy, degeneration of sperm due to time, incorrect sampling, and improper storage. Therefore, examination of the other components of the ejaculate, ie. the enzyme acid phosphatase, choline and spermin, is important. Compared with spermatozoa, the enzyme phosphatase, choline and spermin have lower evidentiary value because these three components are …

Terms Of Endearment: The Displacement Of Inday, Hazel T. Biana, Ruel M. Nalam

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

The term inday implies two possible meanings depending on where one is in the Philippines. In the Luzon group of islands, more specifically in Metro Manila, inday refers to the female help, usually of Visayan descent. On the other hand, in the Visayas and Mindanao group of islands, inday is a term used for endearment and respect for female family members, friends, and women of influence. What this paper aims to do is to provide a theoretical grounding, through oppositional gazing, of why the term inday oscillates between varied definitions in the context of placism or discrimination of people based …

‘Coronated’ Consumption In The Viral Market, Soonkwan Hong

Markets, Globalization & Development Review

The universal exposure to the virus has disrupted institutions, redefined values, and reshaped systems, including the market. Idling, uncertainty, and liquidity encapsulate the ever-precarious individual lives and the reflexive socio-politico-cultural changes. These conditions and consequences nonetheless create paradoxical opportunities in the viral market. The new meaning of connectivity that promotes high-viscosity relationships and high-visibility identities will transform the market to better acknowledge and support humans and the new sociality.

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

The FDA has advocated for increasing awareness of histoplasmosis for patients undergoing TNF blockers as delay in diagnosis can lead to a poor outcome.¹ Laryngeal histoplasmosis is a rare entity that should be part of the differential diagnosis in patients receiving immune suppression for Crohn’s disease. Patients with laryngeal histoplasmosis often report hoarseness, mucosal ulcerations, dysphagia, and odynophagia. We present a series of two cases of laryngeal histoplasmosis in patients with Crohn’s. These cases illustrate the high index of suspicion required to make the diagnosis of laryngeal histoplasmosis, especially in the Midwestern United States. Diagnosis is made quickly and …

Encounters Between The Elderly And Law Enforcement: An Overview Of Mental Illness, Addictions, Victims And Criminals

Contemporary Southern Psychology

Abstract

The elderly population is growing dramatically throughout the world. Out of this growth comes an increase in the number of encounters between the aged and law enforcement. These encounters occur because of a variety of factors including mental illnesses and addictions. Furthermore, older adults may be victims as evidenced in different forms of abuse such as physical, emotional, or financial abuse. Sadly, some documentation exists that older adults are committing more crimes. Multiple reasons have been postulated for these crimes including poverty, jealousy, and boredom. All of these different situations with the aged have created an increase in the …

Immunohistochemical Pattern– A Prognostic Factor For Synchronous Gastrointestinal Cancer, Catalin Alius, Catalin Gabriel Cirstoveanu, Cristinel Dumitru Badiu, Valeriu Ardeleanu, Vasile Adrian Dumitru

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences

Recent advancements in medical genetics and molecular biology are reflected in the modern understanding and approach to colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Understanding the cellular mechanisms and mutational patterns that promote carcinogenesis could enhance the predictive accuracy of the TNM classification. Furthermore, this will allow for a much more documented stratification and tailored oncological treatment. This paper presents an illustrative case of a relatively young patient (50 years old) with no family history of cancer who was diagnosed with four synchronous gastrointestinal (GI) adenocarcinomas displaying a wild type P53, negative BRAF testing, and mutated MLH1 and PMS2 proteins. This case report contributes …

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria: Pandora’S Box?, Mihnea Alexandru Găman, Iulia Ursuleac, Daniel Coriu

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences

Introduction. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired non-malignant hematological disorder which affects the pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell. The cause of PNH development is the occurrence of somatic mutations in the phosphatidylinositol glycan-A gene which encodes a protein necessary for the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors. The diagnosis of PNH requires the presence of signs of intravascular hemolysis, thrombosis, and (or) bone marrow failure. Case Report. We report the case of a 42-year-old female, diagnosed with PNH at the age of 27, whose evolution was initially characterized predominantly by hemolytic attacks and whose disease pattern evolved towards thromboembolic episodes …

Vasculitis was another possible etiology but was also excluded based on the normal clinical examination, negative inflammation markers, lack of diffuse vascular impairment, TPHA and negative VDRL. Prolonged mental stress can lead to accelerated progression of atherosclerosis by inducing endothelial dysfunction, our patient describing a “burnout …

Clinical Features, Pathology, And Surgical Management Of Periocular Giant Basal Cell Carcinoma, Oxana Madalina Grosu, Vladimir Poroch, Natalia Velenciuc, Sorinel Lunca

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences

Objectives. Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are malignant tumors which rarely metastasize, are slow-growing, and extensively locally destructive. BCCs more than 5 cm in diameter are defined as giant. Most often they arise as a result of neglect, as the patient avoids, delays, or refuses to see a doctor. The large tumor diameter and consequently of the post-excisional defect make these lesions difficult to treat surgically with respect to selecting the surgical reconstruction technique. Method. We studied a group of 9 patients, aged 60 to 85 years, diagnosed with giant basal cell carcinomas (GBCCs) with periocular location in which surgery was …
