Full textAbstract:
Abstract Dr Dorothy Klenke Nash (1898-1976) became the first female neurosurgeon in the United States in 1928 and maintained her status as the country's only female neurosurgeon until 1960. She graduated with her medical degree from the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1927 and then trained at the Neurologic Institute of New York under Dr Byron Stookey. During her training, she contributed to the advancement of neurosurgical practice through academic research. In 1931, she married Charles B. Nash, and together they had 2 children, George (1932) and Dorothy Patricia (1937). Dr Nash became a senior surgeon at St. Margaret's Hospital in Pittsburgh in 1942. Shortly thereafter, she joined the inaugural University of Pittsburgh Department of Neurosurgery led by Dr Stuart N. Rowe and became an instructor of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. In acknowledgment of her advocacy for public access to services for mental health and cerebral palsy, Dr Nash was recognized as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania (1953) and honored by Mercy Hospital (1957), Bryn Mawr College (1960), and Columbia University (1968). She retired from neurosurgical practice in 1965, at which time she devoted herself to her grandchildren and her Catholic faith. She died on March 5, 1976 at the age of 77. With unwavering tenacity, Dr Nash paved the way for all women in neurosurgery.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis is confirmed by sputum microscopy. Sputum can be stained by Ziehl-Neelsen (Z-N) staining and examined by conventional light microscopy. Again it can also be stained with Auramine O stain and examined by light emitting diode (LED) fluorescence microscopy. This study was planned to find the most sensitive, specific and feasible technique for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Materials and Method: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in the department of Medicine in collaboration with the department of Microbiology, Sylhet M.A.G. Osmani medical college, Sylhet from 1st January, 2019 to 30th June, 2019. All clinically suspected patients with pulmonary tuberculosis attending both outpatient and inpatient department of Medicine Sylhet M.A.G Osmani medical college hospital, Sylhet during the study period were the study population. Total 380 patients were recruited as study sample after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria by purposive sampling method. All the patients were referred to department of Microbiology, Sylhet M.A.G Osmani medical college for sputum for AFB examination. All the samples were divided in to two portion and then one portion was marked as group-A-and another portion as group-B. In group-A, conventional Ziehl Neelsen (Z-N) staining with light microscopy and in group-B, Auramine staining with LED fluorescent microscopy were done. Result: Among 380 patients, 47 (12.4%) patients and 52(13.7%) patients were diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis by Z-N method and LED fluorescence microscopy respectively but this difference was not significant (*Z=-0.532; p>0.05). Paucibacillary (scanty and 1+) cases were observed more in LED 34 (8.9%) method in comparison to Z-N 31 (8.2%) method. But this difference again did not reach the level of significance (*Z=0.345; p>0.05). But the time required to read the smear by LED method (6.30 ± 0.33 minutes) was significantly shorter than that of Z-N method (3.01 ± 0.27 minutes) (t=561.146; *p<0.001). Conclusion: LED fluorescence microscopy is better than conventional light microscopy in consideration of time taken to finalize result.

AMERICAN POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTIONS engage in what Frederick, Sasso, & Barrat (2015) described as the fundamental attribution error of higher education. Many in higher education institutions (HEIs) might assume that all students seamlessly matriculate through a P-16 pipeline in which all students begin college at equal levels. Pre-college inequalities, particularly among first-generation students, often leave HEI stymied for approaches to engage these students. The numbers of first-generation students continue to rise, while this population becomes increasingly diverse, particularly as a new student generation styled as Generation- Z has emerged on college campuses. This single-institution, exploratory, and descriptive survey study (n= 254) profiled first-generation, Generation-Z traditional undergraduate students using the Barratt & Frederick (2007) University Learning Outcomes Assessment (UNiLOA). Results indicate a self-reported gender differential in scores and that involvement opportunities may increase scores across the domains of the assessment. Implications for practice include intrusive and supportive policies to further intentionally engage first-generation, Generation-Z students.

Full textAbstract:
This cross-cultural investigation sought to compare American and Finnish university students’ communication and personality traits (i.e., argumentativeness, assertiveness, Machiavellianism, and verbal aggressiveness) as well as out-of-class communication with their instructors. American (N = 286) and Finnish (N = 113) university students completed several self-report measures. The results of a MANOVA, an independent samples t-test, Pearson correlational analyses, and Fisher’s z tests revealed significant cultural differences, although the relationships between students’ traits and their out-of-class communication with instructors remained relatively similar in both samples.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis study explored the furry identity. Furries are humans interested in anthropomorphic art and cartoons. Some furries have zoomorphic tendencies. Furries often identify with, and/or assume, characteristics of a special/totem species of nonhuman animal. This research surveyed both furries (n = 217) and non-furry individuals (n = 29) attending a furry convention and a comparison group of college students (n = 68). Furries commonly indicated dragons and various canine and feline species as their alternate-species identity; none reported a nonhuman-primate identity. Dichotomous responses (“yes” or “no”) to two key furry-identity questions (“do you consider yourself to be less than 100% human” and “if you could become 0% human, would you”) produced a two-by-two furry typology. These two independent dimensions are self-perception (undistorted versus distorted) and species identity (attained versus unattained). One-quarter of the furry sample answered “yes” to both questions, placing them in the “Distorted Unattained” quadrant. This type of furry has certain characteristics paralleling gender-identity disorder. To explore this parallel, the furry typology, and the proposed construct of “Species Identity Disorder” needs further research.

Background: Tuberculosis is a highly infectious disease and has the highest burden with it. Diagnosis of tuberculosis in many countries is still dependent on microscopy. For developing countries with a large number of cases and financial constraints, evaluation of rapid and inexpensive diagnostic methods has great importance. The bacilli in the sputum can be detected microscopically by ZN stain and fluorochrome stain.Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare the efficacy of flurochrome(FI) stain with Z-N stain in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.Methodology: This cross sectional study was done in the Department of Microbiology at Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka and National Institute of Chest Disease & Hospital (NIDCH), Dhaka during the period of January 2014 to December 2015 for a period of 1(one) year. Sputum samples from suspected MDR-TB patients were collected by purposive sampling technique from OPD of Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC) and NIDCH. Microscopy, liquid culture in liquid MGIT 960 media were done for MTB diagnosis.Result: this study shows the comparison of results of microscopic examination of Fluorochrome and Z-N stained sputum smear. Both Fluorochrome and Ziehl-Neelsen stains showed predominant positive results, that is, 3+ in 50% and 50.94% samples respectively, followed by 2+ in 30.65% and 32.07% samples, 1+ in 14.5% and 13.2% samples and scanty in 4.84% and 3.77% samples respectively. On the other hand, Fluorochrome stain gave negative report in 38 (38%) samples, whereas Z-N staining showed 47 (47%) negative results.Conclusion: Fluorochrome stain yielded more positive result than Z-N stain under microscope in smear of sputum.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, June 2018, Vol.10(1); 28-30

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction College students are at risk for sleep disturbances that may influence academic performance and cognitive function. Poor sleep hygiene and sleep quality over time results in inadequate sleep and daytime sleepiness, which, if not addressed, eventually leads to sleep deprivation and adverse health effects. The current study aims to identify if sleep hygiene practices and self-efficacy relate to poor and good sleepers categorized according to the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Score > or < 5) among a sample of college students. Methods Secondary analysis of baseline data from college student participants aged 18-26 from an intervention study was used. All participants completed demographic, sleep hygiene, and sleep quality assessments. (e.g., Sleep hygiene index [SHI], Self-efficacy for sleep hygiene inventory [SHESHI], and PSQI). Descriptive statistics were calculated for demographic, sleep quality, and sleep hygiene variables. Results The sample (n=119) included 15 Freshmen, 30 Sophomores, 52 Juniors, and 21 Seniors, of which 26 were male and 93 female college students. The total sample mean age=20.6 y +2.0, range: 18-26; 82.4% were White, 55% worked part-time, and 69.8% considered themselves night owls. Data were examined to determine if poor and good sleepers differed across key demographic variables. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups. The sample comprised 47.0 % (n=56) poor sleepers and 52.9% (n=63) good sleepers. A Mann-Whitney U test was run to determine if there were differences in self-efficacy scores and sleep hygiene practices between poor and good sleepers. Mean rank self-efficacy scores for poor sleepers (44.15) were significantly lower than for good sleepers (74.09), U=876, z = -4.725, p <.001. Mean rank sleep hygiene index scores for poor sleepers (76.05) were significantly higher than good sleepers (45.73) U=865, z = -4.793, p <.001. Conclusion Preliminary descriptive findings highlight significant characteristics of sleep hygiene efficacy in college students with good and poor sleep. All surveys were subjective measures. Future use of an objective measure of actual sleep time and sleep health index would add to an understanding of sleep issues in college students. Support (if any) N/A

Millennials make up the largest segment of the workforce today and it is estimated that by 2025, 75% of the global workforce will comprise this emerging generation (Fry, 2018). In this current study, I examine the career attitudes of Latinx and Asian American Millennial and Gen Z college students to understand better how their unique college experiences- shaped by their familial, cultural, and personal backgrounds – can inform how they imagine their post-college trajectory. Specifically, I explore to what extent these sociocultural influences impact MilleniGenZ’s interest and attainment in leadership roles within their future careers. Two sets of surveys were administered. A 184-question survey was administered to college students in Southern California in 2017 (N=936), and in 2020, an updated 211-question survey was administered (N=742). The findings show the importance of providing better career resources (e.g., workshops, mentorship, networking opportunities) for MilleniGenZ during college, which will ease their transition into the workforce and potential leadership roles. The findings of the current study contribute to the existing literature by unpacking how complex sociocultural factors intersect to influence Latinx and Asian American college students’ career attitudes. Based on our findings, institutions, and organizations should incorporate diversity and inclusion considerations into the career planning process to support individuals in overcoming systemic barriers.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction Studies consistently demonstrate a link between subjective sleep disturbances and the continuum of suicidality, although this evidence primarily comes from retrospective, cross-sectional studies using limited items to assess sleep. Longitudinal assessment of well-defined and measured sleep/wake behaviors with high-risk individuals are needed to enhance the specificity of near-term suicide risk detection and render concrete targets for suicide prevention. Methods Participants (N=46) included ultra-high-risk adolescents (N=29 ages 12-18) and college students (N=17 ages 18-24). For up to 12 weeks, participants wore an actigraph to yield objective data on sleep/wake, and concurrently completed daily cellphone-based ratings of subjective sleep and suicidality. Generalized estimating equations were used to examine the association between sleep parameters (subjective and objective) and the odds of next-day suicidal outcomes (i.e., passive death wish [PDW], suicidal ideation, suicidal intent) controlling for age, gender, and depression severity. Results Significant quadratic relationships were observed between actigraphy-derived total sleep time (TST) and probability of next-day PDW (Z=3.7, p=0.0002), suicidal ideation (Z=2.1, p=0.04), and suicidal intent (Z=2.78, p=0.006), with increasing suicidality at low and high values of TST. Low sleep efficiency (<75%) was associated with increased odds of next-day PDW (OR=1.24, Z=2.07, p=0.038). Subjectively (sleep diary measures), low sleep quality (<50 on 100-point scale) was associated with increased odds of next-day suicidal ideation (OR=1.57, Z=3.42, p<0.001), and longer sleep onset latency (>20 minutes) with next-day suicidal intent (OR=3.00, Z=2.37, p=0.018). Conclusion Poor sleep health may signal increasing suicide risk, and are modifiable risk factors. We document a significant temporal association whereby objectively-derived short and long TST and low sleep efficiency, as well as subjective sleep quality and sleep onset latency, predicts next day’s suicidality. Further understanding of the temporal association between sleep and suicidality may hold promise to inform real-time monitoring and preventive strategies. Interventions targeting these factors may therefore help reduce suicidality in high-risk youth.

Background: Tuberculosis continues to be the biggest health problem in India. Tuberculosis involves respiratory, gastrointestinal tract as well as extrapulmonary site. Tubercular lymphadenopathy is the most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. FNAC plays a vital role in diagnosis of tubercular lymphadenopathy. FNAC is not only used for cytological diagnosis but also used for other ancillary tests like Ziehl-Neelsen staining and AFB culture.Methods: The study was conducted in the department of pathology, Government Medical College, Jammu over a period of 6 months and included 450 cases presenting with superficial lymphadenopathy. FNAC was performed in the cases and smears in each case, were stained with May Grunwald Giemsa (MGG), Papanicolaou and Z-N stain.Results: Out of 450 cases,160 cases (35.5%) showed features of tubercular lymphadenitis. The most common site of presentation, being cervical region with 75% cases. Females outnumbered males by ratio of 1.46:1. In cytomorphology 93 cases (58.1%) showed epithelioid granulomas with caseous necrosis,37 cases (23.1%) showed caseous necrosis only while only epithelioid granulomas were seen in 30 cases (23.1%). AFB positivity was seen in 82 cases with maximum AFB positivity (78.3%) seen in cases with necrosis only.Conclusions: FNAC is a rapid diagnostic technique because of its simplicity, cost effectiveness, early availability of results and minimal invasion. FNAC is a reliable and sensitive first line investigation in diagnosis of tubercular lymphadenitis combined with AFB staining.
