Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication during pregnancy that affects both maternal and neonatal health outcomes. Identifying risk factors associated with GDM is crucial for early detection and intervention to improve pregnancy outcomes. Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Gynecology, Gonoshasthaya Nagar Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period of January 2019 to December 2019 with a total of 348 hospital patient records. Result: Of the 348 participants, 24.71% had GDM. Significant differences were observed between the groups in age, gravida, BMI distribution, family history of GDM, and previous history of GDM. Higher rates of non-spontaneous vaginal deliveries were found in the GDM group (36.05%) compared to the non-GDM group (22.52%). Age ≥35 years, obesity, family history of GDM, and history of GDM were significantly associated with GDM (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our findings support the existing evidence that advanced maternal age, obesity, family history of GDM, and previous history of GDM are significant risk factors for GDM. These results highlight the importance of early screening and intervention for high-risk groups to prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Code-switching is a product of language contact between different languages or different varieties of a language. It is a key factor for achieving successful communication. Western scholars have conducted deep researches on code-switching from grammatical approach, sociolinguistic approach, psycholinguistic approach, conversational analysis approach and pragmatic approach. With reference to some constructive views on code-switching, scholars at home conduct more researches on code-switching in foreign language teaching, newspapers, journals and Internet language. TV entertaining program is an important part of people’s cultural life. However, researches on code-switching in this kind of program are fewer. This study chooses 55 episodes of Happy Camp from September of 2017 to September of 2018 as research data and transcribes,categorizes and tallies Chinese and English code-switching in this program. And then based on Poplack’s classification of code-switching and Yu Guodong’s Adaptation Model, syntactic features and pragmatic functions of code-switching in this program are explored.

The Purpose of this research is addressed specifically how legal protection of human rights for fetuses (children) outside of legal marriage according to statutory provisions in Indonesia. This research is normative law research, also referred to as doctrinal law research. In this type of legal research, the concept of law is frequently thought of as what is written in laws and regulations (law in books) or as a rule or norm which is a standard for acceptable human behavior. The current statutory provisions do not fully guarantee a child's (foetus') right to life outside of a legal marriage, so the foetus may not be able to live as it should. This is due to a variety of factors from the child's prospective mother. The state, in this case the government, should develop a new paradigm that ensures the survival of children regardless of their legal marital status.
Nepal, a developing nation with a population of over 29 million, heavily relies on the construction sector for its economic growth and development. However, delays in construction projects have adversely affected the country's national economy. This research aims to identify the main factors that contribute to construction project delays in Nepal and proposes solutions to address these issues. A detailed descriptive analysis was conducted by reviewing six selected journals. The findings indicate that inadequate planning, weak monitoring, poor site conditions, design changes, lack of construction materials, equipment, and manpower, low bidding of contracts, unrealistic contract durations, lack of coordination among team members, variation of quantities during project execution phases, climate change, inflation, natural calamities, rapid changes in government, strikes, holidays, insufficient budget allocation, and political and governmental issues are the primary causes of construction project delays in Nepal. These delays have significant implications for Nepal's economic growth and development. For example, delays in the construction of critical infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, can hamper access to essential services, hinder trade and commerce, and result in delayed project delivery, increased project costs, negative impact on the project's reputation or impression on donor agencies, stress among concerned authorities, negative impacts on economy and society, strained relationships, and communication breakdowns. To address these issues, all stakeholders, including the government, contractors, and project owners, must be involved in implementing the recommended solutions. The proposed solutions include improving planning and monitoring, ensuring availability of materials, equipment, and manpower, enhancing coordination among team members, realistic contract bidding and duration, and addressing political and governmental issues. The findings of this study have implications for other developing countries facing similar challenges in the construction sector. By implementing the recommended solutions, Nepal can overcome these obstacles and achieve its infrastructure development goals, promoting economic growth and improving the quality of life for its citizens. In conclusion, this research highlights the need for a coordinated effort by all stakeholders to address construction project delays in Nepal, which is critical for the country's progress and development.

Nonketotic hyperglycemia is a rare cause of hemichorea-hemiballismus. We report a case hemichorea-hemiballismus secondary to nonketotic hyperglycemia revealing an inaugural diabetes mellitus. A 55 year-old woman, admitted for subacute-onset of continuous involuntary movements in the right upper and lower limb since three days ago. The movements increased with action, decreased with relaxation, and disappeared during sleep. As the condition did not affect her trunk, other limbs, or her face and no other conditions were evident. At admission, the right upper and lower limb was moving involuntarily. The movement was wild, flailing, and repetitive with varied amplitudes and frequencies. No tremor and rigidity were elucidated and cerebellar signs were negative. Laboratory tests revealed diabetes mellitus, with a fasting blood glucose level of 4,60 g/L and a hemoglobin A1C level of 14.0%. The urine examination was negative for ketones. CT of the brain showed left pallidum hyperdensity. The brain MRI revealed hyperintense signal in the left pallidum on T1-weighted images and isointensity on T2-weighted images. Other laboratory results were within the normal range. A diagnosis of hyperglycemia-associated hemichorea-hemiballismus was made. An insulin treatment and oral antidiabetics were instored. She was subsequently discharged after 14 days of hospital stay with improved glycemic control. Three months after, her chorea-ballismus was completely resolved. A control of brain MRI six month after showed marked improvement in the putaminal changes. Vigilance for this cause of hemichorea-hemiballism is important, since the movement disorder may be the presentation of potentially dangerous underlying hyperglycemia.

Perinephric abscess is a rare life-threatening condition. It can complicate a urologic infection or occur secondary to hematogenous seeding. We report a case of a 49-year-old diabetic female who came to the outpatient department with complaints of right-sided abdominal pain for 2 days. It was associated with fever, headache, vomiting, and generalized weakness. Non-contrast computerized Tomography (NCCT) showed a subcapsular collection measuring 6.1× 5.7 × 4.4 cm noted adjacent to the lateral aspect of the right kidney. Following percutaneous nephrostomy, thick pus was drained from the abscess and sent for culture and sensitivity in the microbiology laboratory. Culture grew extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing (ESBL) Klebsiella pneumoniae which was sensitive to Carbapenems, Piperacillin Tazobactam, Fluoroquinolones, Netilmicin, Amikacin, and Tetracycline. The patient improved on treatment with the appropriate antibiotics. Perinephric abscesses should be considered as a differential diagnosis of fever with abdominal pain or flank pain since its non-specific nature can delay the diagnosis. Underlying diabetes mellitus (DM), urinary tract abnormalities, and immunodeficiency should be considered in a patient with a perinephric abscess. Ultrasonography (USG) and Computerized Tomography with contrast enhancement are crucial for diagnosis. The drainage of the abscess, either percutaneous or open, should be done. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a frequent cause of perinephric abscesses and mostly follows a complicated urinary tract infection. With high mortality rates, early diagnosis, and effective treatment of perirenal abscesses are required to improve the prognosis of patients.
