Introduction. Intestinal perforation is a known complication after colonoscopy. However, appendiceal involvement with inflammation and perforation is extremely rare and only 37 cases of postcolonoscopy appendicitis have been reported so far. We describe a case of perforated appendicitis 24 hours after colonoscopy that was treated successfully in our Department.Case Report. A 60-year-old female patient underwent a colonoscopy during the investigation of nontypical abdominal pain without pathologic findings. 24 hours after the examination she presented gradually increased right lower quadrant abdominal pain and a CT scan was performed, showing an inflammation of the appendiceal area with free peritoneal air. Through laparotomy, perforated appendicitis was diagnosed and an appendectomy was performed. The patient was discharged on the tenth postoperative day in good health condition.Discussion. The characteristics of all cases reported in the literature are described, including our case. Perforated appendicitis soon after a colonoscopy is a rare, but serious complication; therefore, it is crucial to be included in the differential diagnosis of postcolonoscopy acute abdominal pain.

For evaluation of Fulton’s condition factor (CFf), relative body weight (BWr) and form (a3.0) factor affecting growth, 5 fishes (Aspidoparia jaya, Gagata cenia, G. youssoufi, Salmophasia bacaila and S. phulo) were collected from the Atari River in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were recorded among the values of CFf (0.47-1.56) but not for BWr (79.60- 128.39). Based on CFf values, analysis of similarities (ANOSIM, p < 0.01) revealed that maximum distances (R = 0.9946) were found between G. youssoufi and S. bacaila while lowest (R = 0.2175) between G. cenia and S. phulo. Using two-dimensional nMDS scaling of CFf and BWr, G. youssoufi showed good health condition (CFf = 1.22±0.01; BWr = 100.63±0.79) and were separated (stress = 0.0003) from other fishes. Lowest a3.0 value was noted for S. bacaila (0.004) and highest for G. youssoufi (0.012). Therefore, G. youssoufi showed healthier and former body with more adaptability in this river than those of others. These are the first records for proper management of above mentioned fish species and future research in the near future.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.53(2), 155-160, 2018

Onchocerciasis is mainly found in western part of Ethiopia and there is no evidence of transmission in the east ward. However, some zones (Bale, Borena, and West Arsi) are suspected for transmission given the area has fast flowing rivers and is covered with vegetation. Therefore, this study was conducted to map onchocerciasis transmission in those zones. About 19 villages were selected based on proximity to the rivers, representation of districts, zones, and vegetation covers, whereas the study participants, all village residents of age > 5 years with good health condition, were skin sniped and examined using microscopy. In this study a total of 2560 study participants were surveyed of which 1332 were female (52%) and 122 were male (48%). The age group of 21–30 years was highest (34.4%) and that of age > 51 years was the lowest (3.1%) study participants. The survey result revealed that none of the study participants regardless of age, sex, and location demonstrated skin snipOnchocercamicrofilariae. The prevalence of microfilariae and community microfilarial load (CMFL) were 0% and 0 mf/s, respectively. The finding implied that there is no onchocerciasis in the area and, therefore, there is no need for interventions. Black fly distribution, cytotaxonomic study, and intraborder cross transmission monitoring are recommended.

This case report describes a 23-year-old woman who developed hypothyroidism and sought homoeopathic treatment. In this case, we adopted Kent’s approach as the patient displayed characteristic mental as well as physical general symptoms. Her primary mental characteristics were irritability and hatred toward those who offended her and a persistent feeling of being lonely. Her characteristic physical generals included desire for salt and aggravation by exposure to sunlight. Kent’s approach enabled us to select Natrum mur as the remedy. Thorough analysis and evaluation enable physicians to select the most suitable approach for any given case. This case emphasised the importance of case analysis and evaluation as an integral step after case taking. It also highlights the role of homeopathy in cases of endocrinal disorders and its efficacy in reversing pathological processes.

This study investigated the effects of health promotion behavior after self-stretching on scalp care attitude. For this, a questionnaire survey was performed against cosmetologists in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do, and a total of 191 copies were collected. The collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA, and the results found the followings: First, according to analysis of self-stretching, self-stretching behavior, health promotion behavior and scalp management behavior, 46.6% revealed ‘good health condition’. Specifically, ‘self-stretching behavior’ and ‘health promotion behavior’ accounted for 2.60% and 2.88% respectively. In other words, most respondents have been well aware of their scalp conditions and problems and handled them properly. Second, in terms of age, as the respondents were younger, stretching was less important in self-stretching and self-stretching behavior. In health promotion behavior, on the contrary, as they were older, health promotion behavior improved. The above results confirmed that health promotion through daily self-stretching have a positive effect on the scalp. It is anticipated that the development of scalp care-related programs would enhance satisfaction because of healthy scalp care and a healthy lifestyle.

The study reported in this Research Communication was carried out to examine how parity and milking time affected donkey milk yield under a typical Chinese production system. Eighteen Jiangyue breed donkeys with good health condition, aged between 6 and 9 years, and with parities 3 and 4, were selected. Milk production was measured commencing from the fourth week post-foaling, with a total data collection of 170 d in milk (lactation length). Mean milk yield of the donkeys used in this study was 3·0 kg/donkey/d. Results showed milk yield decreased with days in milk from 3·3 kg/donkey/d at the start of the study, to 2·2 kg/donkey/d by the end of the 170 d. Parity 3 donkeys produced 22% more milk than parity 4 donkeys (3·3 kg/donkey/d vs 2·7 kg/donkey/d). The information provided by this study should aid producers in estimating the expected milk yields from individual donkey, and better predict milk yield over the course of a production cycle.

Psychiatric Conditions

Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized by symptoms of Schizophrenia such as hallucinations and delusions, and symptoms of a mood disorder such as mania or depression. As it shares the symptoms of more than a single mental health condition, many affected with schizoaffective disorder are often erroneously diagnosed. The disorder is seen in about 0.3% of the population as per reported studies and both men and women are equally prone to the disease. But men often develop the illness at an earlier age than women. The modern management includes use of both mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. Ayurveda psychiatry categorizes the disorder under the category of unmada which is considered as the vibhrama or distorted function of eight factors including manas and buddhi. A 48 year old male patient attended the Psychiatric OPD two months back. He had decreased sleep, lack of interest in attending the job, self-talking etc. He also complained about hearing of voices in ear. According to the informant, he had reduced social mingling and increased suicidal thoughts and had several attempts for committing suicide. He has been suffering from these complaints since past 18 years. The case was diagnosed as Vatakaphaja Unmada considering the dosha predominance and a protocol with special preference to sodhana procedures were performed after admission. The selected protocol was observed to be effective in managing the condition. The case report stresses the role of Ayurveda treatment modalities in managing similar psychiatric conditions.

Large programs of in vitro embryo production have been developed in Brazil, but the results are very variable. The objective of this study was to evaluate managing factors that influence pregnancy rate of recipients in a large embryo transfer program. Results of 1104 embryo transfers performed from November 2008 to February 2009 by Transgen Desenvolvimento e Produção Agropecuária Ltda (Uberlˆndia, Minas Gerais, Brazil) were evaluated. Embryos produced in vitro were used: 1/2 Holstein/Gir embryos (n = 139) or 3/4 Holstein/Gir embryos (n = 961) produced from donors 1/2 Holstein/Gir and Gir with Holstein bull semen. Only excellent (grade 1) quality morulae (stage 4), early blastocysts (stage 5), mid- blastocysts (stage 6), or expanded blastocysts (stage 7) were assigned for fresh transfer using the International Embryo Transfer Society guideline for grading embryos. The heifer recipients were 1/2 crossbred Nelore/Simmental, in good health condition, 20 to 30 months of age, 330 to 400 kg of weight, and were maintained on pasture (Tifton) with mineral supplementation ad libitum. The recipients were synchronized as follows: Day 0-intravaginal device with 1.0 g of progesterone (PRIMER®, Tecnopec, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) +2 mg of estradiol benzoate (ESTROGIN®, Farmavet, São Paulo, SP, Brazil); Day 5-150 μg of D-Cloprostenol (PRELOBAN® Intervet, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) + 400IU of eCG (FOLLIGON®, Intervet); Day 8-progesterone device removed; Day 9-1 mg of estradiol benzoate. On Day 17, nonsurgical embryo transfers were performed by a trained technician and synchronization was confirmed by presence of a CL. The effects of the embryo breed, the number of transfers in each recipient (the heifers that failed to get pregnant were used in the next program), and the transfer sequence (i.e. 20 embryo transfers were performed per hour, and approximately 100 per day) on the pregnancy rate was analyzed by logistic regression with the LOGISTIC procedure of SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). The breed of embryo (56.9% for 3/4 Holstein/Gir embryos v. 62.6% for 1/2 Holstein/Gir embryos), the number of transfers in each recipient (first: 56.5% v. second: 61.8% v. third: 55.5% v. ≥fourth: 55.0%), and the transfer sequence during the day of the program (first hour: 57.4% v. second hour: 60.0% v. third hour: 58.1% v. ≥fourth hour: 53.8%) did not influence the pregnancy rate. Within the confines of an extensive embryo transfer program with in vitro produced fresh embryos, a large number of embryo transfers can be executed per day without adversely affecting the pregnancy rate if high-quality embryos are used, the transfers are performed by a trained technician, and recipients are in good health condition and synchronized.
