A group of neoplasms that share the characteristic light microscopic appearance of being composed of relatively small, round to round-spindled, monotonous, seemingly undifferentiated cells. It comprises all significant categories of neoplasms- carcinomas, sarcomas, lymphomas, and neuroendocrine- neuroectodermal tumors. Hence microscopic similarity between them and the diagnosis in routine histologic examination extremely difficult. This heterogeneous group of lesions becomes a diagnostic challenge. The diagnosis depends on clinical, radiological, pathological and genetic features. Each lesion has its own has distinctive features but histopathologically termed as ‘round cell tumors’. This article provides an insight into this group of intriguing round cell lesions, which are characterized by varied histopathological features and their associated confirmatory immuno-histochemical markers for a reliable and a consistent diagnosis.
Confidence is an important aspect of one’s personality and a confident smile makes the picture complete.

During pregnancy there is a physiological hypercoagulability which may be increased by genetic risk factors and / or acquired thrombosis. This increases the risk of thromboembolism and the risk of thrombosis in placental vessels and thus termination of pregnancy. Among genetic risk factors for thrombosis, factor V Leiden and mutated factor II are responsible for spontaneous miscarriages, which are essentially late. The rare deficits in antithrombin, protein C and protein S are also involved. Factor V Leiden is a thrombophilic condition that can lead to serious thromboembolic events and in pregnant women recurrent miscarriages. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman who presented 6 miscarriages that led to the diagnosis of thrombophilia by resistance to activated protein C and whose last 4 pregnancies were well followed by anticoagulant treatment with low molecular weight heparin aspirin.

Background: Hyponatremia, which is defined as plasma sodium concentration of less than 135meq/L, occurs primarily due to imbalance in water homeostasis, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) regulation and renal handling of filtered sodium. The two most common causes are effective circulating volume depletion causing non-osmotic release of ADH and the syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion, disorders in which ADH secretion is not suppressed despite decrease in plasma osmolality. Methods: Observational Study conducted at Medicine wards and, Medicine OPD of SMS hospital, Jaipur. Patients were interviewed for demographic data such as age and sex. History of other comorbid conditions along with presenting complaints was noted. Further these patients were subjected to a physical examination for clinical signs. These findings were recorded on a predesigned and pretested proforma. Results: In our study, lethargy(50.4%), headache(42.3%) and anxiety(31.7%) were most common symptoms. Majority of the cases were admitted and treated in the ward i.e. 249(87.7%), while few patients were treated in ICU i.e.35 (12.3%). Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study it may be concluded that, hyponatremia can present with protean clinical manifestations. The presentation can vary from mild symptoms such as vomiting, lethargy, malaise to severe forms such as confusion, seizure and coma.

Cases of leptospirosis in Indonesia increased dramatically in 2018 by 895 cases with 148 death cases due to leptospirosis in 2018. Risk factors were found in more than half of leptospirosis events including environmental conditions, the presence of rodents, waste water disposal, waste disposal facilities, history of contact with rats, presence of rivers, and history of flooding. Previous research has reported the finding of mice containing Leptospira in post-flood areas in Indonesia. Therefore this study aimed to determine the relationship of environmental conditions with the presence of Leptospira bacteria in rats in flood-prone areas. This research is an analytic study with cross sectional approach. Data obtained by observing the type of rat, the process of surgery and taking rats, rats calculation of success traps and observation of environmental conditions. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was carried out in the Microbiology Laboratory of Hasanuddin University Hospital. Statistical tests with fisher exact were used to determine the relationship of environmental conditions with the presence of Leptospira bacteria in rats. The results of this study found 100% Mus musculus, 53.3% Rattus norvegicus, 22.2% Rattus tanezumi infected with Leptospira bacteria. The results showed the presence of sewers with stagnant water (0,000), presence of standing water other than sewers (0,026), presence of sewage waste (0,005), presence of waste other than ditches (0,007), smell of rat urine (0,049) and pH of stagnant water the optimum (0.001) with a p-value < 0,05. We recommend to the Paccerakkang inhabitants who reside in flood-prone areas, to always maintain environmental conditions such as cleaning the environment suspected of being a habitat for rats.

Works on risk analysis focused on activity in the operating room or in intensive care is rare. In fact, the operating room remains one of the units where the patient's medication management process is complex, which tends to increase the risk of ME as well as the severity of its consequences. In anesthesia, attention should be paid more specifically to errors during the preparation and administration of drugs, because these are actions that are performed many times every day. The analysis of this adverse event in our patient made it possible to classify this adverse event in the category of administrative errors. The administration of vancomycin should be done by slow infusion when it has been administered to our patient by direct intravenous route, this type of error is part of the volume or flow errors. Medication administration error can be prevented by providing coaching and continuing education for practitioners. It is also necessary to label the medication storage compartments of the anesthesia cart; the correct identification of drug ampoules and to ensure that there is only one packaging of the same product.

Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can raise questions of independence and identity; as adolescents cultivate their sense of self, they may face difficult choices about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender identity, drugs, and alcohol. Many contemporary personality psychologists believe that there are five basic dimensions of personality such as extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness and neuroticism. The main objectives of the present study are to find out the differences in Big Five Personality Traits (extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness and neuroticism.) among Kashmiri and North East Adolescents. The five null hypotheses were formulated to test the sample. A sample of 60 adolescents was taken of the students of two cultures as Kashmiri and North East from Mewar University, Chittorgarh (Rajasthan). The Purposive Sampling Technique has been used as per the nature of subjects included in research. The Big Five Personality Inventory designed by Dr. Arun Kumar Singh and Dr. Ashok Kumar from Patna University (Bihar) which is published by National Psychological Corporation, Agra was used to collect the data on five dimensions. The mean, standard deviation and “t” test were used to analyse the collected data. In conclusion, it can be said that there is significant difference between North East Adolescents and Kashmiri Adolescents in relation to Big Five Personality Traits. The results of the present study indicate that there is no significant difference between North East Adolescents and Kashmiri Adolescents in relation to the dimension of Extraversion. There is significant difference among North East Adolescents and Kashmiri Adolescents in relation to Openness, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness and Neuroticism.

Cervical cancer constitutes global health issue. Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine (HPV) has been associated with its prevention. Despite importance of the vaccine, studies have shown that diverse factors could impede its uptake. Therefore, this study assessed these perceived psychosocial barriers, as well as the uptake of HPV among Female Civil Servants in Delta State, Nigeria. Methods: The design was descriptive and cross-sectional. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 435 women, who consented. A structured questionnaire of 0.7 reliability coefficient was used to collect data at the Secretariat. Data were analyzed using frequency counts and the results were presented in tables and charts. Result: Mean age of participants was 326.7 years. Many, (44.4%) of them had adequate knowledge of the HPV and most (94.7%), had not vaccinated their female adolescents. Cost (54.5%) and inaccessibility (51.3%) were projected as deterring factors. Psychosocial factors isolated were taboo and On the whole, 68.0% were enthusiastic about compliance with vaccination, later. Conclusion: Human Papilloma Vaccine is the primary prevention tool that could reduce the incidence of cervical cancer gobally. Subsidizing its cost by stakeholders and inclusion of National Immunization Programme could improve uptake. In addition, creating awareness about the vaccine, could improve knowledge, therefore ensuring that perceived barriers do not deter people from utilizing services. Active counselling by nurses / midwives will reduce fears, correct misconception and enhance uptake. Ultimately, there will be reduction in the global burden of cervical cancer.

Achievement goal setting and self-efficacy are two critical variables influencing learning achievements. Many scholars have studied the relationship between two variables by correlation analysis, regression analysis or path analysis. These methods, however, neglect the measurement error at all, which are inconsistent with the reality. Through a questionnaire survey among 266 first-year academic engineering graduate students, this study aims to clarify the relations among achievement goal setting, self-efficacy (SE) and English learning achievement (ELA) of engineering graduate students. Integrating the advantages of conventional statistical methods, Structural Equation Model (SEM) not only takes the measurement error into consideration, but also could study the structures of constructs and the relations among them at same time. The result shows that: 1)Achievement approach goal has a direct positive influence on English learning achievement, mastery approach goal and performance avoidance goal having direct negative influence, and mastery avoidance goal hasn’t obvious influence on English learning achievement; 2) Mastery approach goal has the best impact on self-efficacy, while performance avoidance goal has the worst impact on self-efficacy; 3) Self-efficacy, a mediating variable between achievement goal setting and English learning achievement, could improve English learning achievement efficiently.
