Abstract:
Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health)<br>There has been a recent increase in the proportion of adolescents living with HIV being enrolled on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in Botswana, with more than 90% accessing this life saving therapy. A significant proportion become lost-to-follow-up (LTFU) from the ART care, reversing the initial gains attained. The factors associated with lost-to-follow-up in this vulnerable HIV positive adolescent population in Botswana are generally unknown, as most studies on this subject are on the adult population. This study investigated the rate and factors associated with lost-to-follow up amongst middle and late adolescents (15-19 years) on ART at Botswana-Baylor clinic in Gaborone, Botswana. The center provides comprehensive HIV prevention, treatment and psychological services to children and adolescents living with HIV. The research intended to assist HIV program managers to retain adolescents in care, which is vital in reducing morbidity, mortality and also new HIV infections amongst this population. The research design was an observational comparison between those LTFU on ART and those retained on ART. Simple random sampling was used and the study had 133 of those LTFU and 133 of those not LTFU. Data on the risk factors were retrospectively extracted from patient records stored in a data-base at the clinic. The data were analyzed using Epi-info 7 statistical software to determine if there were any statistically significant factors associated with lost-to-follow-up amongst adolescents on ART. The study involved a vulnerable population who are HIV positive and a proportion who were less than 18 years. However minimal harm was expected as this was a record review and data was anonymized prior to analysis. Ethical clearance was given by the Botswana Baylor Clinic Ethics Committee and the University of Western Cape Biomedical Ethics Research Committee. The LTFU rate in the clinic amongst adolescents (15-19 years) was 4.6%. Using bivariate analysis there were significant associations between LTFU and the following variables: CD4 count (prior to LTFU), detectable viral load, past history of Tuberculosis, PI-based ART regimen and suboptimal adherence. However after multivariate analysis, only detectable viral load and suboptimal adherence were independent predictors of lost-to-follow-up. Middle and older adolescent patients lost-to-follow-up were 5 times more likely to have a detectable viral load and 4 times more likely to have suboptimal adherence than those not lost-to-follow-up. The findings in our study will assist clinicians at the Baylor-Botswana clinic identify adolescent patients needing extra support to be retained in care and improve clinical outcomes. More studies of this type are needed in solely public sector clinics in Botswana and regionally, as there is a sizeable population of people living with HIV in middle and late adolescents in which lost-to-follow up appears to be greatest.

Abstract:
Master of Public Health - MPH<br>Background: HIV/AIDS remains a major public health issue that is affecting all population groups and communities in Zambia. Among the most affected groups are key populations (KPs) such as female sex workers. KPs are considered at high risk of contracting HIV but have limited access to HIV services and retention in care due to internalized stigma, discrimination, criminalization, and negative attitudes towards HIV treatment. Under the USAID Open Doors project in Zambia, KPs access comprehensive HIV prevention, care and treatment services. The test and treat strategy is implemented by the project in support of the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets by 2020 to diagnose 90% of people living with HIV, put 90% of them on treatment, and for 90% of them to have suppressed viral load. Aim: This study aimed to determine retention in care among female sex workers (FSWs) in the first six months after ART initiation using the HIV care cascade. Methodology: A retrospective cohort study was conducted of all new HIV positive female sex workers (FSWs) initiated on ART between October 2018 and June 2019 (9 months period) based on the electronic records. Data were extracted from SmartCare, an electronic health record system used by the ART clinic. Microsoft Excel and Epi-Info 7 software were used for data entry and analysis. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was conducted to examine differences in retention rates. Results: A total of 205 FSWs were initiated on ART, out of which 180 were active on ART (36 youths and 144 adults) and 25 were lost to follow-up (four youths and 21 adults) during the 9 months study period. Of the 180 FSWs active on ART, 36 were FSWs aged 18 – 24 years (youths) representing 90% retained in care while 144 were FSWs aged 25 – 42 years (adults) with 87% being retained on ART treatment. Retention in ART care was not significantly different in the survival curves between the age groups of FSW youths and FSW adults during the study period (p-value = 0.637). Retention in ART care was not statistically significant for education (p-value = 0.481), marital status (p-value = 0.545), and occupation (p-value = 0.169). Conclusion: Retention in ART care among FSWs was 88%. However, there were no significant differences by age group identified in this study. While this study shows 88% retention rate among FSWs, it will be used as a baseline in meeting the UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals.

Os objetivos do presente estudo foram os de analisar a utilização de estratégias de comunicação com mães de crianças com indicadores de risco para perda auditiva na adesão a um Programa de Monitoramento do Desenvolvimento Auditivo e de Linguagem, conhecer o perfil das mães que retornam para o monitoramento e a concepção que as mães possuem sobre as conseqüências de uma perda auditiva na infância. Os participantes do estudo foram mães encaminhadas de um hospital público, que compareceram para a realização da triagem auditiva do lactente realizada no seu primeiro mês de vida. Os lactentes que na triagem auditiva tiveram resultado normal, mas que possuíam algum indicador de risco era agendado para o Programa. As mães receberam informações, por meio de folder explicativo, sobre o desenvolvimento auditivo e as consequências de uma perda auditiva tardia, além de ligação telefônica dois dias antes da data agendada. A pesquisa caracterizou-se do tipo prospectivo longitudinal com análise quantitativa e qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados no período de agosto de 2011 a fevereiro de 2012, obtidos por meio do número de comparecimentos no livro de registros dos lactentes e entrevista semi-estruturada com as mães. Foram utilizados dados dos anos de 2009 e 2010 para comparação da freqüência de retornos das mães. Em 2009, 121 (49,19%) mães aderiam ao Programa; em 2010, 148 (50,17%) e em 2011, com as estratégias do telefonema e do uso do folder explicativo, 195 (58,38%) mães aderiram. Foram entrevistadas 53 mães, sendo que 38 (71,69%) disseram não ter dificuldades em comparecer às avaliações, embora alguns fatores tenham dificultado o comparecimento, tais como: dispensa no trabalho e uso do transporte coletivo. As principais razões de adesão foram: preocupação quanto à audição, presença de indicador de risco e retorno agendado. Com relação ao perfil das mães, a maioria possuía ensino médio completo, se encontrava em união estável, procedentes da cidade de Campinas e não possuíam vínculo empregatício. Do grupo entrevistado, 39 (73,58%) mães demonstraram ter algum conhecimento sobre a deficiência auditiva. A maioria das mães se preocupa com a audição do lactente, com a questão do aprendizado escolar e fazem relação entre fala e audição<br>Abstract: The monitoring of auditory and language development in the first year of life, enables early identification of hearing loss and referral of children to specialized services if the problem is confirmed. The objectives of this study were to examine the use of communication strategies with mothers of children with risk factors for hearing loss in adhesion to a Monitoring Program of Development of Auditory and Language, knowing the profile of mothers who return to monitoring and design that mothers have about the consequences of hearing loss in childhood. Study participants were mothers referred from a public hospital, who attended the hearing screening of infants performed in their first month of life. Infants with hearing screening results were normal but had some risk indicator, were booked into the program. Mothers received information through explanatory folder on auditory development and the consequences of hearing loss late addition to phone call two days before the scheduled date. The research was characterized with a prospective longitudinal quantitative and qualitative analysis. Data were collected from August 2011 to February 2012, obtained by the number of appearances in the book of records of infants and semi-structured interviews with mothers. Data from 2009 and 2010 to compare the frequency of returns of mothers. In 2009, 121 (49.19%) mothers adhered to the program, in 2010, 148 (50.17%) and in 2011, with the strategies of the call and the use of explanatory folder, 195 (58.38%) mothers joined. 53 mothers were interviewed, of which 38 (71.69%) said they had difficulties in attending assessments, although some factors have hampered attendance such as waiver at work and use of public transport. The main reasons for membership were: concern about hearing, presence of indicator of risk and return scheduled. Regarding the profile of mothers, the majority had completed high school, was in stable, coming from the city of Campinas and had no employment. The respondent group, 39 (73.58%) mothers were found to have some knowledge about hearing impairment. Most mothers worry about hearing the infant, with the issue of school learning and make the relationship between speech and hearing<br>Mestrado<br>Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação<br>Mestra em Saúde, Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação

It is important to strengthen public health policies for women's health through multidisciplinary teamwork to identify the best interventions aiming early detection of the disease recurrence and suiting follow-up after the treatment has begun. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between relapse and survival of women with breast cancer staging and follow-up for five years after diagnosis. METHODOLOGY: retrospective cross-sectional study made in a specialized cancer institute in the state of Goiás. The study population consisted of 460 records of women diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and treated in this institution. Data collection was conducted in the period of June and October of 2013 through semi-structured script prepared by the researcher and validated by an expertise of the area. The data were transferred to an excel spreadsheet and analyzed in Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 19.0. Categorical variables were presented as absolute value (f) and percentage value (%) and continuous variables were presented as average ± standard deviation. Fisher’s exact test was used to verify the association among categorical variables. It was considered statistically significant if p <0.05. The Kaplan Meier estimator was also used to identify the survival of women in a period of five years. The project was approved by the ethics research committee and complied with the ethical and legal aspects set out in Resolution No. 466 / 012. RESULTS: It was identified a rate of 14% of deaths, 6% of local/regional recurrence and 25% of metastatic within five years. It was pointed that 26% of women missed follow-up, from these, 45% were diagnosed at stage III, 35% had cancer recurrence and 77% of women did not have consultation with the nurse during the period. CONCLUSION: It is noticed an improvement in survival of women with breast cancer in five years, but there are still a significant number of women being diagnosed in advanced stages. Among women who lost follow-up, a considerable number of them were identified as relapsed before leaving the following, which confirms the need for effective strategies to ensure follow-up of these women in the health service during the recommended period.<br>INTRODUÇÃO: O câncer de mama se apresenta como a principal causa de morte em mulheres em diversos países e como o tipo de câncer de maior incidência entre as mulheres brasileiras. É importante consolidar políticas públicas de saúde voltadas à saúde da mulher com atuação da equipe multidisciplinar para análise das melhores intervenções que visem a detecção precoce de recidivas da doença e o seguimento adequado após instituição do tratamento. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a associação entre recidiva e sobrevida de mulheres com câncer de mama com estadiamento e seguimento durante cinco anos após o diagnóstico. METODOLOGIA: estudo de coorte transversal do tipo retrospectivo realizado em uma instituição especializada em oncologia do estado de Goiás. A população foi constituída de prontuários de mulheres diagnosticadas com câncer de mama no ano de 2008 atendidas nessa instituição, perfazendo o total de 460 prontuários. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período entre junho e outubro de 2013 por meio de roteiro semiestruturado elaborado pela pesquisadora e validado por expertise da área. Os dados foram transferidos para uma planilha do excel e analisados em Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 19.0. As variáveis categóricas foram apresentadas como valor absoluto (f) e valor percentual (%) e as variáveis contínuas apresentadas como média±desvio padrão. O teste Exato de Fisher foi usado para verificar a associação entre as variáveis categóricas. Considerou-se estatisitcamente significativo p<0,05. Foi utilizado ainda a curva de Kaplan Meier a fim de identificar a sobrevida das mulheres em um período de cinco anos. O projeto foi aprovado pelo comitê de ética em pesquisa e atendeu aos aspectos ético-legais enunciados na Resolução nº466/012. RESULTADOS: Identificou-se uma taxa de 14% de óbitos, de 6% de recidiva locorregional e de 25% de metástase à distância em cinco anos. Detectou-se que 26% das mulheres apresentaram perda de seguimento, destas, 45% foram diagnosticadas no estágio III, 35% apresentaram recidiva da doença e 77% das mulheres não realizaram consulta com o enfermeiro durante o período. CONCLUSÃO: Percebe-se uma melhora da sobrevida de mulheres com câncer de mama em cinco anos, porém ainda há um número considerável de mulheres diagnosticadas em estágios avançados. Entre as mulheres que perderam o seguimento, um número considerável apresentou recidiva antes de abandonar o seguimento, o que confirma a necessidade de estratégias eficazes na garantia de acompanhamento dessas mulheres no serviço de saúde durante o período recomendado.

The study population was composed of 573 women selected from a databank belonging to the Women s Health Research Group of the Gynecology Department at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, with a history of preeclampsia, and normotensives who gave birth at this institution five years before. The final sample consisted of 147 women, 64 in the group with a history of PE and 83 normotensives. Data were collected on a questionnaire containing the following: sociodemographic aspects, anthropometric measures, life habits, personal and family history of pregnancy-induced hypertension, family history of cardiovascular diseases and frequency of measuring current blood pressure levels. In relation to the association between cardiovascular risk and altered blood pressure (&#8805;130x85 mmHg), the likelihood of exhibiting the latter condition was significantly higher in women with a history of preeclampsia (CI 95% 4.12-38.92), the overweight and obese (CI 95% 1.70-20.75), and in those with a family historyof CVD and personal history of PIH (CI 95% 0.78-47.07 and CI 95% 3.20-25.39) respectively. Likewise, the probability of having altered blood pressure was higher in women with fasting glycemia &#8805;100mg/dL (CI 95% 2.09-24.73), as well as in those with triglycerides &#8805;150mg/dl (CI 95% 1.72-9.66).

Abstract:
Objective: Emerging prospective evidence from mixed samples, mostly covering short-term follow-up periods, suggests that childhood loss of control (LOC) eating predicts significant impairment in mental and physical health. This study sought to investigate the natural course of childhood LOC eating over the long term and in relation to binge eating disorder (BED) diagnosis, psychopathology, and body weight trajectory in the community. Method: A total of 60 children (8-13 years) with LOC eating within the past three months and 60 demographically-matched children without LOC history were assessed with the Eating Disorder Examination adapted for Children and self-report questionnaires over a 5.5 year follow-up period. Missing data were imputed. Results: Over follow-up, 38.3% of children showed persistent LOC eating, and 28.3% revealed an onset of LOC eating. Persistent LOC eating significantly predicted onset of partial-/full-syndrome BED at follow-up. Negative prognostic effects on eating disorder psychopathology, depressive symptoms, and body mass index were non-significant. Discussion: The results indicate a moderate stability of LOC eating over the long term. LOC eating, especially if stable, was suggested as a variable risk factor of clinically relevant eating disturbances. In contrast, a prognostic value for psychopathology and body mass index was not confirmed.

Abstract:
Magister Public Health - MPH<br>Background: Even though there have been marked increases in the number of patients accessing HIV care and treatment in sub-Saharan Africa, challenges in patient retention remain. Most health systems in sub-Saharan Africa routinely report on loss to follow up of patients, but only a limited number of factors associated with loss to follow up are measured. In Kenya there is limited research on loss to follow up in HIV care and treatment programs. This study reports on rates of loss to follow up and factors associated with loss to follow up at the New NyanzaProvincial General Hospital (NNPGH) in Kisumu, Kenya. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 4,740 adult patients that was registered for HIV and AIDS care and treatment between 2003 and 2008 was conducted. Data was analysed using SAS 9.2 and STATA 10. Cox proportional hazard ratio was calculated to describe the association between risk factors and loss to follow up. Results of the total 4740 patients, 64.6% were female, males [median age of 36 (IQR 30-44) years vs. 32 (IQR 26-39) years for females] were older than females, more males (68.3%) were married, more females (6.2%) had no education and 68% of all patients enrolled had been lost to follow up over 6 years. Risk for lost to follow up was greater amongst males (Adjusted Hazard Ratio (AHR) =1.12; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.02-1.22); younger patients(15-30 vs. >40 years: AHR=1.37, 95%CI = 1.23 – 1.53; and 31-40 vs. >40 years: AHR=1.15, 95%CI=1.03-1.28); those who were unemployed (AHR=1.14, 95%CI=1.05-1.25); and having advanced HIV disease (WHO stage 4 vs. WHO stage 1: AHR=1.53, 95%CI=1.29-1.81). Patients on ART (AHR=0.64, 95%CI=0.52-0.78) at enrollment were less likely to be lost to follow-up compared to those in HIV care. Conclusion: More attention is needed in developing retention strategies for patients with much focus on patients on care. Targeted intervention is required to improve retention amongst males, unemployed patients, patients with advanced HIV disease and younger patients. Additionally, targeted follow up in the community for patients on care is required.

Abstract:
The author of this book is known the world over for his work on those who live with two or more languages. He has been called “one of the grand old men of research on bilingualism” because of his holistic view of bilingualism and his many studies undertaken over a span of some fifty years. And yet, little is known about François Grosjean. In what is a very human and at times touching work, he reveals how the vagaries of life took him from being a monolingual child in a small village outside Paris to being bilingual and bicultural in four different countries. He has changed his dominance in English and French a number of times because of his repeated migrations, and has also acquired, used, and then lost other languages. His life in languages and cultures played a major role in his scholarly work on bilingualism and biculturalism which he describes in a clear and readily understandable prose. Anyone interested in what it means to grow up and to live as a bicultural bilingual will want to follow the author’s own journey through languages and cultures.

Abstract:
Symptoms of MS can be categorized as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Primary symptoms are those that are a direct result of CNS damage, such as fatigue, bladder dysfunction, visual disturbances, incoordination or imbalance, etc. Secondary symptoms are complications arising from these symptoms such as falls due to imbalance, spasticity or weakness, or UTI due to bladder retention. Tertiary symptoms are the social and vocational consequences of primary and secondary symptoms and can include divorce, job loss, financial hardship, and social isolation. Careful evaluation of these symptoms along with appropriate treatment and long-term follow-up can contribute to the quality of life for patients with MS.

Abstract:
Dietary intolerance and poor oral intake account for a disproportionate number of emergency department visits and readmissions after bariatric surgery. Micronutrient, vitamin, and protein deficiencies can occur after both malabsorptive and restrictive weight-loss operations, and they are best mitigated against by conscientious preoperative counseling and vigilance in follow-up. Routine vitamin supplementation can prevent the need for unnecessary laboratory testing, while symptoms of dumping syndrome can frequently be managed with dietary and behavioral modification alone. Alternative enteral feeding access for alimentary supplementation can be safely performed surgically or with assistance by interventional radiology, and should be considered in the management of perforation, early anastomotic leak, surgical revision, or patients with refractory malnourishment.

Full text
Abstract:
Part art history essay, part experimental fiction, part theoretical manifesto on the politics of equivalence, Helicography examines questions of scale in relation to Robert Smithson’s iconic 1970 artwork Spiral Jetty. In an essay and film made to accompany the earthwork, Smithson invites us to imagine the stone helix of his structure at various orders of magnitude, from microscopic molecules to entire galaxies. Taking up this invitation with an unrelenting and literal enthusiasm, Helicography pursues the implications of such transformations all the way to the limits of logic. If other spirals, from the natural to the man-made, were expanded or condensed to the size of Spiral Jetty, what are the consequences of their physical metamorphoses? What other equivalences follow in turn, and where do their surprising historical, cultural, and mechanical connections lead? This book considers a number of forms in order to find out: the fluid vortices of whirlpools, hurricanes, and galaxies; the delicate shells of snails and the threatening pose of rattlesnakes; prehistoric ferns and the turns of the inner ear; the monstrous jaws of ancient sharks; a baroque finial scroll on a bass viol; a 19th-century watch spring; phonograph discs and spooled film; the largest open-pit mine on the planet. The result is a narrative laboratory for the “science of imaginary solutions” proposed by Alfred Jarry (whose King Ubu also plays a central role in the story told here), a work of fictocriticism blurring form and content, and the story of a single instant in time lost in the deserts of the intermountain west.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The suprachoroidal outflow pathway has the potential to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) significantly but has been associated with sight-threatening complications including severe and prolonged hypotony. Historically, suprachoroidal devices have been implanted ab externo requiring a conjunctival peritomy and scleral flap dissection. Additionally, the long-term efficacy of previous attempts to harness this space has been disappointing due to occlusion of implanted devices by fibrosis in the suprachoroidal space. More recently, there have been a number of suprachoroidal devices that are injected ab interno., including the CyPass Micro-Stent (Alcon Laboratories Inc., Fortworth, Texas, USA), the iStent Supra (Glaukos Corporation, San Clemente, CA, USA) and the MINIject (iSTAR Medical Isnes, Belgium). These have utilized a clear corneal entry, thereby sparing the conjunctiva. Early results with these ab-interno devices showed safety and efficacy in IOP-lowering that is similar to Schlemm’s canal minimally invasive glaucoma surgery devices and procedures. Despite the ab-interno approach, their long-term efficacy also seems to be limited by fibrosis. In addition, the first commercially available ab-interno suprachoroidal device, the CyPass Micro-Stent, has been voluntarily withdrawn globally by the manufacturer in August 2018, after 5-year follow-up data demonstrated a higher level of endothelial cell loss with the device than in controls. The iStent Supra and MINIject are not yet available commercially.

Abstract:
Rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia that is closely associated with neurodegenerative disorders. RBD is usually caused by neurodegeneration within the brainstem that disables the system responsible for immobilizing skeletal muscles during REM sleep and thus permits motor neurons to activate these muscles during dreaming. The underlying source of the brainstem neurodegeneration spreads over time to other central nervous system regions until it has sufficiently evolved to permit clinical recognition of the underlying neurodegenerative disorder. Longitudinal follow-up of patients with RBD has demonstrated that most patients subsequently develop some neurodegenerative disorder years later, particularly the synucleinopathies. We review the relationship between RBD and dementia with Lewy bodies, which is one of the synucleinopathies. The management of RBD is reviewed with discussion of the relevant considerations in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.

Abstract:
Several interventions have been implemented for control and prevention of HIV, including provision of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). A major concern is how this investment can effectively reduce morbidity and mortality due to HIV given the existence of various factors that contribute to treatment failure. The purpose of this chapter is to elaborate the role of gender on HIV Disease progression and treatment outcomes. Demographic, epidemiological, clinical, immunological, treatment information as well as blood from HIV infected patients were collected. Epidemiological analyses, using standard phylogenetic and statistical tests were done. A follow-up of patients who were initiated on ART for 1 year enabled description of the gender differences in HIV disease progression and treatment outcome. After 1 year of follow up on ART, more females survived, and more females had undetectable viral load compared to males. However, women lost their initial immunological advantage as they presented with lower immunological recovery after 1 year of therapy. Socio-demographic factors do have an impact on disease progression during ART in HIV-1 infected patients. We recommend that more cohorts of patients be continuously followed up to understand the differences on ART outcome between males and females.

Abstract:
Approximately 2% of the total healthcare expenditure in the European Union is spent on coronary artery disease and these expenditures are expected to increase. In order to make rational decisions on resource allocation, clinical and economic outcomes of treatment strategies need to be analysed together. Cost-effectiveness studies provide a framework for making such decisions. The early economic studies comparing balloon angioplasty with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) show that the early cost benefit of angioplasty is lost at long-term follow-up. CABG provides a clinically and economically attractive treatment option in patients with severe coronary artery disease. Later studies with bare-metal or drug eluting stents showed that the higher invasiveness of CABG leads to a longer hospital stay and higher upfront costs. However, at longer follow-up the cost difference is small and clinical outcomes with CABG are better than with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This makes CABG superior to PCI at long-term follow-up, both clinically and economically in patients with extensive coronary disease. Nevertheless, in patients with less complex coronary artery disease, PCI with drug-eluting stents may be preferred on both clinical and economic grounds. Although reduction in stent price does not have a big impact, several other developments may impact future economic comparisons between PCI and CABG. Newer-generation stents will enhance the clinical and economic profile of PCI. Moreover, better clinical decision-making tools and fractional flow reserve will impact the cost-effectiveness equation.

Introduction: Uterine sarcoma accounts for nearly 3% of all uterine malignancies. They have 4 major pathology includes endometrial stromal sarcoma high grade, ESS low grade, uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) and undifferentiated uterine sarcoma (UUS). Recent WHO classification 2014, recognizes low grade ESS and high grade ESS as distinct entity. They differ from endometrial carcinoma in their aggressive nature and poor prognosis. We review our database and found total 44 eligible patient treated at our institute. Materials and Methods: Its retrospective analysis of computer based database of our institute from January 2009 to December 2015. We analyzed demographic, pathological, treatment and survival data. Results: Total 44 patient treated for uterine sarcoma at our institute. Among these 16 were operated at our institute during study period. Here we reporting results of operated patients at our institute. The histological diagnosis LMS (5/16), ESS-L (4/16), MMMT (3/16), UUS (3/16) and ESS-H (1/16).

Abstract:
Ticlopidine (TI), an anti-aggregating agent which inhibits the ADP-pathway has been tested in patients with intermittent claudication (IC) in 11 randomized clinical trials (RTCs).As expected, a significant reduction of cardio-vascular events (CVE) due to systemic thrombo-embolism was observed in the 2 larger. Reduction in the number of CVE due to systemic thromboembolism in any arterial bed was observed. This prompted us to confirm the hypothesis that TI was beneficial in preventing systemic thrombo-embolism in patients with IC. Four RCTs from the 11 were blindly selected on the basis on pre-set selection criteria : placebo controlled, more than 1 month duration, , less than 5 % lost-to-follow-up (index of quality), parallel groups, proven atherosclerotic disease. Meta-analysis was performed with 5 statistical methods which gave consistent findings : as compared to 311 patients on placebo, the 301 patients on TI have had a 66 % reduction in the number of CVE during the 6 months of follow-up (9.0 % to 3 % , p = 0.002). Walking distance, a secondary objective of meta-analysis, doubled in 42 % of the patients on TI as against 27 % (p = 0.0005).It was concluded that TI 250 mg b.i.d. prevents CVE in patients with atherosclerotic IC.

Abstract:
The 1ife-expectancy of hemophiliacs has risen during the last decades from (for severe hemophilia) a mere 16 yrs in 1940, 23 yrs in 1964 to almost normal after coagulation factor preparations became available. Still, many hemophiliacs encounter ratings or refusals when applying for life-insurance.We carried out three mail surveys (1972, 1978, 1985) among Dutch hemophiliacs to establish excess mortality caused by hemophilia. Follow-up for non-respondents was carried out with help from the municipal authorities, while information on the deceased was obtained from the hemophilia treatment centers. To compare mortality with the general population, we constructed Kaplan-Meier reference curves for population groups with the same age and sex distribution, using national death tables. Pending completion of the follow-up for the 1972-1985 interval, this abstract supplies the results for the 1978-1985 period.The 1978 cohort included 578 individuals, with a mean age of 26 yrs (general male population: 33 yrs). None were lost to follow-up, 22 (3.8%) had died during the 7i yrs of observation. In the reference group 1.9% mortality would have been expected. So, overall relative mortality is increased twofold compared to the general male population (95% confidence interval 1.3-3.0). Patients with an inhibitor excluded, excess mortality did not differ much for severe, moderate and mild hemophilia (relative mortality: 2.3, 1.8, 1.5). In 11 cases hemorrhage was the cause of death, but in 6 cases this was associated with an underlying lethal disorder. In 9 cases the cause of death was not related to hemophilia and in 2 it remained unknown. An inhibitor was present in 4 (18%) of these 22 patients, but in only 4% of the total group of 578. In the 1972 survey 43% of the respondents who had applied for a life-insurance (n=199) reported a rating or a refusal, in 1978 47% of 227 and in 1985 53% of 676.The excess mortality caused by hemophilia is small and similar to that due to smoking cigarettes. Moreover, the excess may be caused in part by a carry-over effect from the time before modern treatment was introduced.

Abstract:
Introduction: Risk stratification of patients with early endometrial cancer for recurrence is inadequate. Objectives: To study factors that influence recurrence in uterus-confined, early stage endometrial cancer (UCD). Patients and Methods: We studied 140 consecutive patients with endometrial cancer, operated at Action Cancer Hospital, Delhi, from August 2010 to September 2015. All patients underwent staging laparotomy, TAH + BSO + BLPND + para-aortic LN sampling, and omental biopsy. Adjuvant treatment was given as per the NCCN guidelines. They were followed up 3 monthly for 2 years, and 6 monthly thereafter. 121 patients (86.4%) had UCD (FIGO stages IA, IB, II). Excluding one post-operative mortality, and 4 who were lost to follow up, we included 116 patients in this study. Results: The median age of these patients was 60.5 years (range: 35-81 years), with median BMI of 31.2 kg/m2 (range=19.8-57.5). Diabetes or hypertension was present in either or both of 76 (65.5%) patients. The median pelvic LN harvest was 17 (range: 4-42). Eight (6.9%) patients had non-endometroid histology, and 5 (4.3%) patients had LVSI. Grade 1, 2, and 3 tumor was found in 74 (63.8%), 30 (25.9%), and 12 (10.3%) patients, respectively. The median follow up was 28 months (range 5-61 months), and recurrence was seen in 13 (11.2%) patients. On univariate analysis we found that age, co-morbidities (DM and HT), LVSI, and non-endometroid histology were related to recurrence. The tumor grade and adjuvant treatment did not influence recurrence rates. On multivariate analysis, presence of comorbidities and non-endometroid histology were independently related to disease recurrence (p=0.044, and 0.011, respectively). Conclusions: Disease recurrence was seen in one in ten patients with UCD, despite stage-appropriate treatment. Presence of co-morbidities and non-endometroid histology were independently related to recurrence.

Abstract:
Canonical human capital theories posit that education, by enhancing worker skills, reduces the likelihood that a worker will be laid off during times of economic change. Yet, this has not been demonstrated causally. We link administrative education records from 1987 through 2002 to nationally representative surveys conducted before and after the onset of COVID-19 in Barbados to explore the causal impact of improved education on job loss during this period. Using a regression discontinuity (RD) design, Beuermann and Jackson (2020) show that females (but not males) who score just above the admission threshold for more selective schools in Barbados attain more years of education than those that scored just below (essentially holding initial ability fixed). Here, in follow-up data, we show that these same females (but not males) are much less likely to have lost a job after the onset of COVID-19. We show that these effects are not driven by sectoral changes, or changes in labor supply. Because employers observe incumbent worker productivity, these patterns are inconsistent with pure education signaling, and they suggest that education enhances worker skill.

Abstract:
The empirical accounts of the costs and benefits of quasi-parity codetermined supervisory boards, a very special German institution, have long been inconclusive. A valid economic analysis of a particular legal regulation must take the legal specificities seriously, otherwise it will be easily lost in economic fictions of functional equivalence. At its core the corporate actor “supervisory board” has no a priori objective function to be maximised – the corner stone of the theory of the firm – but its objective function will only be brought about a posteriori – should negotiations result in an agreement (E. Fraenkel). With this understanding,the paper presents six recent quasi-experimental studies on the economic (dis) advantageousness of the German codetermination laws that try to follow the rules of causal inference despite the lack of random variation. By and large they refute the hold-up model of codetermination by showing positive or nonnegative effects even on shareholder wealth – and a far-reaching improvement of the well-being of the core workforce. In conclusion, indications are offered that the shareholder primacy movement has only weakened, but not dissolved the “Deutschland AG”.
