Abstract:

Defining religion for the purposes of constitutional or human rights protection is a challenge shared by UK and Canadian courts in this era after the enactment of the Human Rights Act 1988 and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms 1985, respectively: neither defines what is to be protected. Canadian courts have been impressed with this task since 1982 and, unsurprisingly, the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) has considered the content and scope of section 2(a), the fundamental right to freedom of conscience and religion, on a number of occasions, most recently in Syndicat Northcrest v Amselem. The outcome in Amselem is a salutary reminder that, for post-modern courts, religion can be whatever they want it to be, and, indeed, be nothing in particular, which merits protection or not at the whim of these courts. In Amselem, a 5–4 majority of the SCC reduced religion for Charter purposes to any beliefs which the complainant calls religion and persuades a court to be sincerely held. A court then has the discretion to decide whether to extend legal protection to those beliefs (and their allegedly offensive practice) without giving credible reasons beyond the complainant's sincere belief in them. Amselem may, therefore, be of considerable interest to British lawyers regarding the potential lurking within ostensibly generous constitutional protections for religion ultimately to reduce religion to nonsense undeserving of legal protection.

Abstract:

In Alberta v. Hutterian Brethren of Wilson Colony, the Supreme Court of Canada reconfigured its approach to section 1 of the Canadian Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms by holding that the final step of the R. v. Oakes test—the requirement of proportionality between a measure’s salutary and deleterious effects—provided the critical framework for its analysis. The author suggests that the Court’s emphasis on the last step of the Oakes test was not the most appropriate response to the specific minimal impairment argument Alberta presented. Alberta argued that the reason it could not safely offer an exemption from its licence photo requirement to Hutterites who objected to photos on religious grounds was because Syndicat Northcrest v. Amselem restricted government inquiries into the sincerity of religious beliefs. Ontario intervened in support of Alberta’s concerns. Although the Court did not address this minimal impairment argument, the author argues that it reflects an unnecessarily strict reading of how Amselem’s guidelines would apply in this context. In support, the author presents an exemption that would have cohered with Amselem and achieved Alberta’s safety objectives. The author then argues more broadly that the provinces’ concerns in Hutterian Brethren demonstrate the critical role the minimal impairment step of the Oakes test plays in generating solutions to clashes between laws of general application and minority religious practices. The Court’s new emphasis on the proportionate effects test, in contrast, may unfortunately discourage both parties from formulating potentially innovative alternatives.

Abstract:

“Arbiter of religious dogma,” first expressed by the Supreme Court of Canada in Syndicat Northcrest v. Amselem ([2004] 2 SCR 551), has had a lasting and pervasive effect on the Canadian lawscape. Developed in an effort to remove the State (and therefore Court apparatus) from a decision-making capacity in questions related to religious doctrine, this expression has become an inevitable mantra when discussing issues related to religion in Canada. This article argues, however, that the presence of this expression should not be understood as the end of a conversation, but rather, the beginning of a novel one on the legitimacy of religion in law. Through discourse analysis, this article will endeavor to suggest that this “marriage march” between law and religion is inevitable in the Canadian context.

ISSN 0804–4643 Activating mutations of G proteins, which are membrane signal transducers, have been associated recently with the development of various endocrine neoplasms. Mutations of two highly conserved codons, Arg201 and Gin227, in the α-subunit of the Gs protein, the adenylyl cyclase-stimulating protein, were first described in growth hormone-producing pituitary tumours. They resulted in constitutive activation of the αs-subunit by decreasing intrinsic GTPase activity. A similar mutation, affecting codon Arg179 (exon 5) in the α-subunit of the Gi2 protein, the adenylyl cyclase-inhibiting protein, has been described by a single group in ovarian and adrenocortical tumours. We evaluated the frequency of activating mutations in the α-subunit of the Gi2 protein in 18 human adrenocortical tumours. We screened exons 5 (codon Arg179) and 6 (codon Gln205) for mutations by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of leucocyte and tumoural DNA. No abnormal migration pattern was found in either exon. The absence of mutation in exon 5, which includes the Arg179 codon, was confirmed in all tumoural DNA by direct sequencing. In conclusion, we did not find any oncogenic mutations in the GTPase domain of the α-subunit of the Gi2 protein in adrenocortical tumours. Thus, the previously oncogenic gip2 mutations do not appear to be determinant for adrenocortical tumourigenesis.

Abstract:

Objective:The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of Gram stain versus Pap smear in diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (BV).Methods:One-thousand and sixty women were enrolled in this study. All cases with symptoms of BV were determined by Amsel's criteria, which were accepted as the gold standard for diagnosis of BV. Pap smear and Gram stain evaluations were compared according to Amsel's criteria, without viewing the clinical results of the patients. Gram stain and Pap smear results were determined as negative or positive according to Amsel’s criteria. Sensitivity, specifity and positive predictive values were calculated.Results:After accepting the cases that were diagnosed as BV according to Amsel's criteria as reference cases, the sensitivity of the Gram stain method was calculated as 97% and the sensitivity of the Pap smear method as 93%. Similar specificity rates were obtained with both methods in diagnosis of BV related to the clinical results. There were no statistically significant differences in diagnosis of BV between these two groups.Conclusion:If Amsel's criteria are accepted as the gold standard for diagnosis of BV, Gram stain and Pap smear methods will give similar results in diagnosis.

Abstract:

Background: Bacterial vaginosis is an imbalance in the ecology of the normal vaginal flora which is characterized by depletion of lactobacilli, and proliferation of anaerobic bacteria. It most often manifests clinically as a vaginal pH of > 4.5, presence of thin whitish homogenous vaginal discharge, detection of “clue” cells and presence of an amine odour after the addition of 10 percent potassium hydroxide. These anaerobic bacteria through specific products stimulate the decidual tissue causing an increase of cytokine level, release of phospholipase A2 and prostaglandins leading to preterm labor, premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis and development of PID following abortion. To compare Amsel Criteria and Nugent Criteria for diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis.Methods: A cross sectional study involving 260 patients with preterm and term labour was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in North India. BV was determined to be present or absent on the basis of Amsel’s criteria and Nugent’s criteria. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to demonstrate the difference between both groups with respect to various categorical data.Results: Amsel’s criteria and Nugent’s criteria were reliable diagnostic methods. As compared to Nugent scoring system, Amsel’s criteria had sensitivity of 75%, specificity of 95%, positive predictive value of 90% and negative predictive value of 86%.Conclusions: Although the Amsel’s criteria is a convenient and inexpensive method of diagnosing bacterial vaginosis, it is not always reliable. Nugent’s criteria is considered as a gold standard for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis but it requires an experienced slide reader and considerable time and skill. If lab equipment is not available as in many developing countries, the diagnosis of BV can be simplified by using a combination of any two Amsel’s criteria like vaginal pH and whiff test which had highest sensitivity and specificity (90.19% and 97.78%) respectively as seen in present study.

Abstract:

Introduction: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the commonest cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of child-bearing age and is associated with increased susceptibility to HIV-AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. In obstetrics, BV has been implicated in causing various complications. In clinical practice, BV is diagnosed using Amsel criteria and Nugent scoring. Using modified Amsel criteria, we determined that the fulfilling of any two instead of three criteria can be diagnostic of BV. Methodology: This prospective cross-sectional study involved pregnant females complaining of excessive vaginal discharge admitted in a tertiary health centre in central India. Four vaginal swabs were collected for the diagnosis of BV by Amsel criteria, modified Amsel criteria, and Nugent scoring on Gram stain. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and diagnostic accuracy of each individual criterion and combinations of criteria were calculated by using Nugent scoring as the gold standard and by chi square test. Results: In the present study overall prevalence of BV was 12%. The sensitivity of individual or a combination of two criteria was almost same or higher than that of Amsel criteria. Specificity of each combination of criteria was comparable to that of Amsel criteria. However, a combination of high pH and amine odor test had the highest sensitivity (88%) and highest PPV (62%). Diagnostic accuracy of all combinations in our study was equal to or slightly higher than that of Amsel criteria. Conclusion: Diagnostic accuracy of new modified Amsel criteria is as reliable as that of Amsel criteria.

Abstract:

Background: bacterial vaginosis is universally the commonest vaginal infection in reproductively active females. It causes major consequences as preterm labor, predisposing to sexually-transmitted infections and HIV infections. Although it is a public health concern, no one knows exactly its pathogenesis when some say that it is just disturbance in vaginal floral balance predisposing to clinical symptoms and signs, where the predominant Lactobacilli in vagina become replaced by other facultative and anaerobic bacteria. Objective: To evaluate different diagnostic tests, Amsel’s criteria and PCR and their ability to diagnose bacterial vaginosis in comparison to the gold standard test, Nugent score in terms of sensitivity, specificity, NPV and PPV. Also test for prevalence of BV among included females. Methodology: screening was done for all females in presence or absence of Amsel’s criteria. Wet mount along with Gram stained films were examined in Microbiology lab and Nugent score was calculated for every patient. Cervico-vaginal aspirate samples were collected for detection of G. vaginalis, Lactobacilli and Sialidase enzyme by multiplex PCR. Results: Using Nugent score patients were categorized into bacterial vaginosis (BV) group (32%), non-BV group (51%) and 17 % were in intermediate group. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of whole Amsel’s criteria (100, 80.4, 76.2 and 100 % respectively) were better than using any criterion alone. Using multiplex PCR, detection of G. vaginalis (100%) and sialidase gene (93.7%) were higher in BV group and Lactobacilli gene (100%) higher in non-BV group with statistically high significant difference. Multiplex PCR detection of G. vaginalis has sensitivity (100%), specificity (92.2%), PPV (88.9%) and NPV (100%) for diagnosis of BV in relation to the gold standard test, Nugent score. Conclusion: using Amsel’s criteria as a whole is better than using individual criteria for diagnosing BV with highest sensitivity, specificity, NPV and PPV. Combined PCR detection of G. vaginalis and sialidase gene can predict occurrence of virulent BV infection. BV is associated with significant loss of protective Lactobacilli.

Abstract:

Introduction: Bacterial vaginosis is a polymicrobial syndrome involving replacement of normal vaginal hydrogen peroxide producing lactobacilli by a variety of mycoplasmas and Gram-negative rods. Bacterial vaginosis has been conventionally diagnosed using Amsel criteria (a clinical method) or Nugent's score (a laboratory method with higher reproducibility). This study was undertaken to compare the diagnostic ability of the Amsel criteria with that of Nugent's score among patients presenting with abnormal vaginal discharge. Methodology: The study was conducted at the Medical College in Kolkata, India to determine the prevalence of patients with bacterial vaginosis and their demographic profile. Subjects attending the outpatient department presenting with abnormal vaginal discharge were evaluated for the presence of bacterial vaginosis by Amsel criteria and Nugent's score. Results: Prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was 24% by Nugent's score. In comparison, Amsel criteria had sensitivity of 66.67%, specificity of 94.74%, positive predictive value of 80% and negative predictive value of 90%. There was no perfect inter-rater agreement between the Amsel criteria and Nugent's score (Kappa = 0.58). Presence of clue cells correlated best with a positive diagnosis by Nugent's score while the amine test (whiff test) had the lowest correlation. Conclusion: Although the Amsel criteria method is a convenient and inexpensive means of diagnosing bacterial vaginosis, it is not always reliable. Alternative reliable and inexpensive diagnostic methods that unify clinical and microbiological parameters, thus increasing sensitivity while retaining specificity, are needed.

Abstract:

The Iranian species of the genus Evergestis were reviewed taxonomically and as a result, Evergestis pazukii sp. n. is described as a new species, E. comealis Amsel stat. n. is raised to species level from the subspecies E. caesialis comealis, and four species, namely E. flavifuscalis Rebel, E. limbata (Linnaeus), E. pechi (Bethune-Baker), and E. serratalis Staudinger are newly reported from Iran. Furthermore, the females of Evergestis africalis (Guenée), and E. nomadalis (Lederer), and the male of E. elbursalis Amsel are described and illustrated for the first time. A redescription of the male of E. hyrcanalis Amsel is provided mainly based on the genital structure, and the male and female genitalia of E. boursini Amsel and E. flavifuscalis Rebel are redescribed, respectively due to their poor descriptions. Additional remarks on the previousely reported species and new data on their distribution in Iran are also provided.

Abstract:

La vaginosis bacteriana (VB) es una alteración frecuente de la microbiota vaginal en mujeres en edad reproductiva. El diagnóstico puede ser efectuado aplicando criterios clínicos o por la evaluación de los morfotipos bacterianos presentes en la tinción de Gram realizada a la secreción vaginal o mediante procedimientos microbiológicos, los cuales se desarrollaron como una alternativa al diagnóstico clínico, reemplazándolo paulatinamente. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar la efectividad de los métodos de Amsel e Ison-Hay, para el diagnóstico de vaginosis bacteriana, empleando el método de Nugent como estándar. En este estudio se analizaron 305 muestras de secreción vaginal de pacientes del Hospital Regional ISSSTE Puebla. Las muestras se procesaron y analizaron para el diagnóstico de VB, siguiendo las recomendaciones de los métodos de Amsel, Nugent e Ison-Hay. El análisis de los resultados indicó un 12.8 % por Nugent, 31.1 % de VB por el método de Amsel y 36.7 % por Ison-Hay; sugiriendo que ambas técnicas muestran una alta tasa de falsos positivos. La sensibilidad para el método de Amsel e Ison-Hay fue de 97.44 %, la especificidad fue de 78.57 % y 72.18 % para Amsel e Ison-Hay, respectivamente. En conclusión, dado a los resultados obtenidos y a las mínimas diferencias entre los métodos analizados, se recomienda realizar los criterios de Amsel, seguidos de la observación de la tinción de Gram del flujo vaginal para la valoración de la microbiota por el método de Ison-Hay, para tener un mejor diagnóstico de VB, cuando no se emplea el método de Nugent.

Genera and the species within each genus are listed in alphabetical order. All family, genus and species-group names of Elachistinae published before 28 August 2018 are treated. Sixty-six genus-group names are listed, 60 of which are nomenclaturally available. In the classification followed in this catalogue the species are placed in 10 genera. There are 1016 nomenclaturally available and 106 unavailable species-group names. Of these, 805 names are currently considered to represent valid species. For each species the following data are given: the reference to the original publication and the page; type locality; deposition of the name-bearing types; in the genus Elachista, the taxonomic rank with the subgenus and the informal species group when applicable; distribution; larval host plants; references to essential illustrations, and remarks, when needed. Synonyms are listed under valid names; distribution with geographic area and country records, for Australia, Canada and U.S.A. territories, provinces and states are given; Russia is divided into subregions. Larval host plant records are listed with notes regarding uncertain records. When possible, original references that are considered trustworthy in later literature are given, as well as relevant literature references for illustrations for each species. Synonymies, incorrect subsequent spellings and misspellings are listed under each species with full reference. Alphabetical lists are given for subfamily and infra-generic groupings of species of the genus Elachista, to summarize the placement of each species in its subgenus and species group within the subgenera. 110 valid and one unavailable species-group names originally described to genera currently considered elachistines, but later removed, are listed.

Abstract:

Background: Screening of lower genital tract infection (LGTI) in mid-trimester prevents preterm birth (PTB). There is no consensus on best screening methods for LGTI-symptoms, speculum findings, a point of care tests or high vaginal swab microscopy. Aim: To know diagnostic accuracy of screening of lower genital tract infection (LGTI) in midtrimester by clinical symptom/signs and point of care tests (viz Amsel’s criteria) as against the gold standard microscopic tests using gram stain. Settings and Design: Prospective observational study in a tertiary care hospital over two years. The study population included 228 antenatal women between 18th-24th weeks. Materials and Methods: Symptoms of vaginal discharge were noted. Speculum examination was performed on all, to detect the type of discharge. High vaginal swabs were collected, subjected to the point of care tests (Amsel’s criteria) as well as gram staining. Microscopy (Eg: Nugent’s criteria) was taken as the gold standard, to which other methods were compared. Results: Thirty women (13.5%) were symptomatic. Among 198 that were asymptomatic, 91(45.92%) had LGTI. Speculum examination showed discharge in 221 (96.9%), but gram staining showed LGTI in only 104 (45.61%), among whom 45 (19.7%) had partial Bacterial vaginosis (BV), 14(6.1%) had full BV, and 40(17.5%) had candidiasis. The commonest discharge was homogenous thin white, suggestive of BV but 51% among them had normal vaginal flora (NVF); whereas 27% of those labelled physiological discharge were positive for BV. The appearance of discharge and gram stain thus did not correlate well. Amsel’s criteria had poor diagnostic accuracy compared to Nugent’s, although negative predictive value were high. Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of LGTI, especially BV among asymptomatic pregnant women at mid-trimester, best detected with a routine high vaginal swab and gram staining rather than relying on symptoms/speculum findings/point of care tests. Such testing may guide appropriate treatment for reducing the risk of PTB.

Abstract:

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in reproductive age women. It is associated with increased susceptibility to HIV/STI and adverse birth outcomes. Diagnosis of BV in resource-poor settings like India is challenging. With little laboratory infrastructure there is a need for objective point-of-care diagnostic tests. Vaginal swabs were collected from women 18 years and older, with a vaginal pH > 4.5 attending a reproductive health clinic. BV was diagnosed with Amsel’s criteria, Nugent scores, and the OSOM BVBlue test. Study personnel were blinded to test results. There were 347 participants enrolled between August 2009 and January 2010. BV prevalence was 45.1% (95% confidence interval (CI): 41.5%–52.8%) according to Nugent score. When compared with Nugent score, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value for Amsel’s criteria and BVBlue were 61.9%, 88.3%, 81.5%, 73.7% and 38.1%, 92.7%, 82.1%, 63.9%, respectively. Combined with a “whiff” test, the performance of BVBlue increased sensitivity to 64.4% and negative predictive value to 73.8%. Despite the good specificity, poor sensitivity limits the usefulness of the BVBlue as a screening test in this population. There is a need to examine the usefulness of this test in other Indian populations.

Abstract:

Objetivo: Evaluar la prevalencia de vaginosis bacteriana en una población predominantemente rural (Quilmaná- Cañete). Diseño: Estudio prospectivo, transversal y analítico. Material y Métodos: Se tomó muestras vaginales de 100 pacientes que acudieron por presentar flujo vaginal, procediéndose al análisis microbiológico y aplicación de los criterios de Amsel. Resultados: Se encontró vaginosis bacteriana en 33% de pacientes que cumplían por lo menos 3 de los 4 criterios de Amsel para el diagnóstico respectivo; candidiasis en 15% , tricomoniasis en 4% y mixto en 5%. La presencia de células clave y la prueba de aminas nos permitió identificar al mayor porcentaje de las pacientes con vaginosis bacteriana; así mismo, la sola presencia de células clave, células clave + olor y olor + pH tienen alto valor predictivo positivo y negativo. La sensibilidad del flujo vaginal es baja. Conclusiones: La vaginosis bacteriana es el tipo de infección vaginal más común entre las mujeres en edad reproductiva en el distrito de Quilmaná–Cañete, representando cuando menos un tercio de tales infecciones. En la práctica ambulatoria es factible realizar el diagnóstico en forma sencilla aplicando sólo dos de los criterios de Amsel, como la prueba de aminas más el pH de secreción vaginal.

Abstract:

Background: In recent years Bacterial vaginosis has emerged as a global issue of concern due to its association with cervicitis, salphingitis, endometritis, postoperative infections, Urinary tract infections, pelvic inflammatory infections, spontaneous abortions, preterm delivery, abnormal Pap smears and increased susceptibility to HIV. Bacterial vaginosis is one of the most common lower genital tract infections among women of childbearing age and yet its diagnosis can be problematic. Gardnerella has been reported in upto 50% of women with no signs or symptoms of Bacterial vaginosis. So, it is important to know the prevalence and risk factors of Bacterial vaginosis, so that requirement of screening, early diagnosis and management can be planned.Methods: After obtaining ethical committee approval, hundred consenting patients between 20-45 yrs of women, diagnosis by Amsel’s criteria was done in gynaecology outpatient department and diagnosis by Nugent criteria was done in microbiology laboratory.Results: In present study authors had a prevalence of 37% and among them 48.65% were asymptomatic. Bacterial vaginosis was statistically significantly associated with multipara and the trend was more towards low socio-economic group and lower education. In our study we considered Nugent’s criteria as gold standard and found that Amsel’s criteria had positive predictive value = 88.88%, negative predictive value = 79.67%, sensitivity = 71.11% and specificity = 92.73%.Conclusions: Prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was 37%, which is a significant proportion and therefore screening for bacterial vaginosis may be useful to detect and treat the cases, larger trials are required before any recommendation can be made.

Abstract:

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common gynecological infection in the United States. Diagnosis based on Amsel's criteria can be challenging and can be aided by laboratory-based testing. A standard method for diagnosis in research studies is enumeration of bacterial morphotypes of a Gram-stained vaginal smear (i.e., Nugent scoring). However, this technique is subjective, requires specialized training, and is not widely available. Therefore, a highly accurate molecular assay for the diagnosis of BV would be of great utility. We analyzed 385 vaginal specimens collected prospectively from subjects who were evaluated for BV by clinical signs and Nugent scoring. We analyzed quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assays on DNA extracted from these specimens to quantify nine organisms associated with vaginal health or disease:Gardnerella vaginalis,Atopobium vaginae, BV-associated bacteria 2 (BVAB2, an uncultured member of the orderClostridiales),Megasphaeraphylotype 1 or 2,Lactobacillus iners,Lactobacillus crispatus,Lactobacillus gasseri, andLactobacillus jensenii. We generated a logistic regression model that identifiedG. vaginalis,A. vaginae, andMegasphaeraphylotypes 1 and 2 as the organisms for which quantification provided the most accurate diagnosis of symptomatic BV, as defined by Amsel's criteria and Nugent scoring, with 92% sensitivity, 95% specificity, 94% positive predictive value, and 94% negative predictive value. The inclusion ofLactobacillusspp. did not contribute sufficiently to the quantitative model for symptomatic BV detection. This molecular assay is a highly accurate laboratory tool to assist in the diagnosis of symptomatic BV.

Abstract:

The objectives were, first, to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Osmetech Microbial AnalyserTM (OMATM) for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and, secondly, to determine the factors that interfere with the performance of the test. Women presenting to a genitourinary medicine clinic underwent routine screening for genital infections. Additional swabs were tested on the OMA, and by Nugent scoring. The optimum method for sampling was determined on the first 372 samples. BV was diagnosed in 182 (27%) of the remaining 665 subjects by Amsel criteria, and 188 (29%) of 642 women with evaluable Gram-stains. The sensitivity and specificity of the OMA were 81.45% and 76.1% compared to Amsel criteria and 82.9% and 77.3% compared to Gramstain. Further refinements to improve the sensitivity and specificity of the OMA are required to provide an accurate near patient testing method.
