Involvement of the ovary with malignant lymphoma is a well-known late manifestation of disseminated nodal disease. Primary ovarian Burkitt lymphoma is very rare and mainly affects young children. We present a case of a 25-year old woman at 37 weeks pregnant with sporadic Burkitt lymphoma who presented as having ovarian cancer. The patient was managed via elective cesarean section and unilateral oophorectomy. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical stains were carried out, revealing non-Hodgkin B-cell Burkitt lymphoma. After the diagnosis, the patient was referred to the oncology center for chemotherapy.

Introduction: to compare the clinical, biological, and evolutionary profiles of sepsis with multi-drug resistant and non-multi-drug resistant bacteria in the newborn population. Methods: we performed a prospective, observational, comparative study to monitor all the episodes of blood stream infection, received from the neonatal intensive care, from June to December 2019. Collected data included demographics, symptoms at the time of sepsis, laboratory values, microbiologic results, preliminary and final outcomes. Results: Out of 219 positive blood cultures, 93 episodes were retained. The median age was 6,66 days, 63.4% of newborns were male and 62,4% were premature, 39% of whom had a gestational age of less than 34 weeks. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria caused 68 sepsis episodes, while non-MDR resistant bacteria caused 25. Bacteremia with MDR organisms, in comparison with non-MDR organisms was associated with poorer preliminary outcomes after empirical antibiotherapy (14% vs 32%; P= 0,001), higher overall mortality rate (20% vs. 51%, P =0.003), and longer antibiotic intake (9.84 vs 7.56 ; P=0,02). The major risk factor found is prematurity (70% vs 40%, P<0,001), No statistical significance was found when other clinical features or laboratory values were compared for infections with MDR vs. non-MDR bacteria. Conclusion: Septicemia with MDR bacteria is more common than non-MDR one in NICU, and it is related to higher morbidity and mortality rates.

This article focuses on the research of the characteristics of foreign energy discourse from the perspective of "One Belt One Road". Combined with the current international economic background, the international energy cooperation language discourse and activities relevant documents reading are carried out through a horizontal and vertical comparative analysis. It is mainly about the language itself to analyze energy discourse development, existing problems and improvement measures. From the case analysis of scientific knowledge competition and discourse construction in the international energy field, it can be seen that adding the scientific and technological discourse perspective to study energy transition is conducive to a deeper understanding of the future energy strategic pattern and direction. It is also advantageous to the huge driving force contained in energy transition to promote China's development and international system change. It requires us to consider the international background work understanding and the language plan itself. We are supposed to analyze the current political hotspots reasonably such as the situation in Russia, Ukraine and related energy development strategies, and conduct in-depth exploration of energy academic discourse studies socially and contemporarily. Besides, it is significant to highlight the times development theme to promote global energy governance.

The study examines empirically exchange rate determinants in African sub-Sahara countries specifically Anglophone West African countries like The Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone between 1981 and 2019. In order to achieve this objective, both descriptive statistics and the Panel Least Square (PLS) estimation methods were employed to analyze the data. The result of the analysis reveals that INFL has a negative relationship with EXCR but it does impact significantly on it at 5 percent level; INTR has negative and an insignificant impact on EXCR at 5 percent level; CABL has negative relationship with EXCR and it also impacts significantly on it at 5 percent level; TMTR has negative relationship with EXCR and it also impact significantly on it at 5 percent level. The study therefore concludes that inflation rate (INFL), interest rate (INTR), current account balance (CABL) and terms of trade (TMTR) depreciates exchange rate (EXCR) in African sub-Sahara countries specifically Anglophone West African countries. Based on the findings of the research work, the following are recommended: The government should encourage export diversification especially the non-oil sector exports. This can be achieved through value addition to both the agriculture and manufacturing sub-sectors output. There should be stable exchange rate management policy that avoids over-valuation or excessive depreciation of their currencies and ensures international competitiveness of tradable goods, relative price stability as well as avoiding inconsistent fiscal policies.

This paper illustrates the hypothetical study conducted when using quarry dust (QD) and sludge in producing 225mm x 225mm x 450mm hollow sandcrete blocks. QD and wastewater treatment sludge (WWTS) were used to replace river sand at 10%, 20% and 30%. Proportions of 50%QD:50%WWTS and 75%QD:25%WWTS were considered for a standard cement to sand combination of 1:6. Water-cement ratio (w/c) was increased as the percentage replacement increased. Specimens were produced and cured via sprinkling for 28 days. They were subjected to compression and water absorption tests. Mix A2 having 75%QD:25%WWTS at 0.55 w/c and 10% sand replacement had the highest compressive strength and water absorption values of 3.69N/mm2 and 6.22% accordingly. These results exceeded the NIS 87:2000 recommendation of 3.45N/mm2 for 225mm load bearing blocks and 12.61% by ASTM C140 respectively. Therefore, QD and WWTS in right proportions can substitute river sand in producing load bearing sandcrete hollow blocks.

Endoscopic per-oral myotomy (POEM) is innovative an endoscopic technique for treatement of achalasia. This new technique has recently introduced in Morocco. It was performed on 7 patients at our institution. We collected patients data, the duration of the procedure, the location of the myotomy and patients follow-up. Results: Per-oral endoscopic myotomy was successfully performed in all patients, with adverse events observed in only one patient. Two months after POEM, significant reductions in symptom scores (Eckhardt Score 7.5vs 3) and this persisted at 3 years after POEM. Gastroesophageal reflux was observed in 16.8% of patients at 1 month and 21.3% at 3 years of follow-up. Per-oral endoscopic myotomy was successfully performed in all cases. Complications were rare (1.4%) and there was no mortality. Significant improvements in Eckhardt score were observed at 2 months, 1 year after POEM. Conclusions: Based on our series, POEM is a safe and effective treatment for achalasia, there are relatively few contraindications, and the procedure can be used as first- or second-line treatment.

Cystosarcoma phyllodes of the breast are rare, and it accounts for less than 1% of the malignant tumors of the breast. Its clinical and radiological characteristics are those of benign tumors, and only a fast tumoral growth can evoke diagnosis. The diagnosis is confirmed by anathomopathology and immunohistochemistry. Surgical extended resection is the treatment of choice. Adjuvant radiotherapy may be administered in patients with high-grade tumors, positive surgical margins, or postoperative recurrence. Here we present a case of a woman affected by a sarcoma phyllodes tumor, an uncommon oncologic disease.

Changes in the renal arteries are common in the general population with ethnic differences. Objective: List the different anatomical varieties of the renal artery in melanoderms living in Benin. Methods: This was a retrospective study from March 1, 2016 to April 31, 2017, which is 14 months. The study population consisted of all injected abdominal CT scans clearly demonstrating the renal artery and its branches. Results: 155 abdominal CT scans were revisited, 308 renal pedicles were virtually dissected showing 339 renal arteries. The average age was 50.33 ± 17 years with extremes of 13 and 83 years. The sex ratio was 0.92. The medium caliber of the aorta at the origin of the first renal artery was 16.7 ± 3mm. It was also noted two (02) cases of single kidney located at the right and 153 pairs. The medium renal length was 97.08 ± 11.08 mm, the width 49.28 ± 8.21 mm and the average thickness 49.53 ± 9.53 mm. The prevalence of changes in the number of renal arteries was 9.4%. In more detail, the number of renal arteries are ranged from one to three. They were unique in 90.1% of cases, double in 8.7% and triple in 0.6% of cases. These variations were not related to any of the dependent variables in this study. Conclusions: Numerical variations of the renal arteries are frequent among melanoderms living in Benin. They have multiple diagnostic and therapeutic interests, hence the need for their knowledge by doctors.

Corruption within the Police can be committed by anyone regardless of educational background, ethnicity, rank, or position. Starting from the lowest to the highest ranks and positions, even though they are not free from the temptation of corruption. The research uses a qualitative approach with case study research by collecting data through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. This research is descriptive-analytical. The results show that law enforcement that is conducted against police personnel who commit criminal acts of corruption is indeed carried out with the principle of “enforce the law using the law” through all existing regulations; however, the sanctions given are never or rarely as much as possible as stated in the law. This fact is law enforcement that does not wholeheartedly use the law. The implementation of law enforcement against police who commit corruption crimes is normatively carried out by combining the criminal sanctions and internal sanctions, such as dishonorable dismissals by Police institution. According to the existing laws and regulations, ideal law enforcement for police personnel who commit criminal acts of corruption must be carried out by prioritizing the combination of criminal sanctions, internal sanctions and widely publicized in Indonesian society as social sanctions.

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is a malignant mesenchymal tumor most commonly occurring in the distal extremities of adults, it generally behaves like a low-grade tumor but is still able to progress locally and metastasize to distant sites, rarely resulting in death. It is a tumor whose unusual morphology can lead to misdiagnosis, either in the non-neoplastic sense (infectious or inflammatory) or as another sometimes malignant tumor entity. The genetic abnormalities detected in MIFS are the t(1;10)(p22:q24) translocation, with rearrangements of TGFBR3 and MGEA5 genes associated with increased levels of FGF8, with chromosome 3 marker/ring formation, and amplification of the VGLL3 locus.

Nature has generously open life-saving remedies to mankind by offering evolutionarily optimized drug like bimolecular in the form of several natural products. These marvelous gifts of nature have been serving as most suitable candidates against the treatment of multiple disorders and particularly for cancer (2nd leading cause of death, cancer) due to their pleiotropic mode of action on target molecules. Current review intends to provide an update on the bioactivities of such gifts from nature, natural borneol, which is the major bioactive constituents of traditionally used medicines. Borneol is a monoterpenoid, isolated from different medicinal plants and have strong potential to be used against multiple disorders such as bacterial and inflammatory infections. Recently it is investigated that borneol has a great potential of inhibiting the growth of multiple neoplasms such as hepatocellular carcinoma, neuroblastoma, glioma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, ovarian and lung cancer. Moreover, by regulating the BBB junctions it also increases the drug concentration in cancer cells, this shows that its combine use with already practiced therapeutics may increase the efficacy of these therapeutics against cancer cells. In this review we will summarize all the studies on anticancer activity of borneol, our primary goal will be to discuss the combined use of borneol with other clinically used drugs to improve their efficacy against human cancers.
