PRIMARY VAGINAL ADENOCARCINOMA WITH BICORNUATE BICOLLIS UTERUS WITH RENAL INVOLVEMENT: A RARE CASE REPORT
No full textEngendering global democracy
No full textThe inadequacies of hegemonic liberal democratic ideas and institutions have been exposed by feminist theorists focusing on the marginalisation of women and by global theorists examining the impact of globalisation. These theorists have developed two distinct sets of reconstructive strategies that, until very recently, have remained in ignorance of each other. Further, both feminist and global democratic schemes have been dogged by problems in terms of their theorisation of power, politics, agency and change. Recent feminist arguments about citizenship and governance go some way to bringing together concerns about gender inequality and globalisation, but they remain centred on states and the states-system as vehicles for democratic representation and participation. This article argues that a more radical reconstructive strategy can be derived from debates about the democratisation of feminism itself. Drawing on the responses of black and third world feminists to racism in the white-dominated feminist movement, and examining their influence on efforts to organise transnationally, the article points to innovative ways of thinking about power, politics, agency and change. Together these amount to a democratic framework which has applicability beyond feminist organising and which confronts the marginalisations of both gender and globalisation
Carcinoma of Uterine Cervix with Multiple Skull Metastases as the first Presentation of Recurrence: A Case Report
No full textCARCINOMA OF UTERINE CERVIX WITH MULTIPLE SKULL METASTASES AS THE FIRST PRESENTATION OF RECURRENCE: A CASE REPORT
No full textCarcinoma of cervix recurring as multiple skull metastasis is a very rare presentation. A 49-yearold woman, a diagnosed case of carcinoma cervix [International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IB1] treated with radical hysterectomy presented with generalized seizures to us after 40 months of initial diagnosis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed metastasis to left temporoparietal bone and left frontal bone. Biopsy from the left temporal lesion showed non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. She was thus diagnosed as recurrent carcinoma cervix with multiple calvarial metastases with the controlled primary site. She received palliative radiotherapy to the entire skull. She further received 4 cycles of palliative chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin repeated every 3 weeks. However, she could not tolerate chemotherapy after 4 cycles owing to significant deterioration of performance status and expired after 12 months of diagnosis of metastasis
Dynamic Era of Fijian Writing
No full textIn an article published recently (Fiji Times 04/08/2017) Dr. Joseph Veramu, a policy analyst consultant argues that “apart from the prolific internationally renowned writer Dr. Satendra Nandan, the Fijian writing scene appears dormant”. It might be prudent to imply that the writer is not aware of the number of writers that have emerged in the last few decades. Then again the article is quite contradicting when the author concludes “it appears that a lot of creative works are being produced locally”. In fact, there is a new vigour in Fijian writing as evident from an online publication New Fijian Writing (http://fijianstudies.net/2014-21/) which has significant mix of established and new writers, among them 10 old writers such as Subramani, Teresia Teiawa, Senoa Smiles, Satish Rai, Mohit Prasad, Larry Thomas, Joini Madraiwiwi, Satendra Nandan, Sudesh Mishra, and Brij Lal, with more than 15 new writers such as Bhim Singh, Satvick Dass, Anna Rarasea, Afsana Anzeg, Pauline Reyland, Praveen Chandra, Pranesh Prasad, Sakiusa Viaviaturaga, Seruwaia Vukivou, Anurag Subramani, Izaz Khan, Kelera Tuvou, Shyamendra Shrama and Harish Sharma. The notion of writing in Fiji has always been an ongoing pursuit and there seems to be a thrust in writing as more writers have joined in to continue the legacy
El feminismo de Estado en España: El Instituto de la Mujer (1983-2003)
No full textDesde aproximadamente los años setenta se han fundado en la mayor parte de los países del mundo instituciones cuyo principal cometido reside en mejorar la condición de las mujeres como grupo y erosionar las desigualdades entre éstas y los hombres. También se han establecido organismos similares en los ámbitos regional y local. En ciencias sociales este conjunto de instituciones se denomina "feminismo de Estado", "feminismo institucional" o "feminismo oficial", conociéndose como "feministas de Estado" a las personas que trabajan en estos "organismos (o agencias) de igualdad" o "instituciones feministas" (McBride y Mazur 2004, 2; Stetson y Mazur 1995, 1-2).
Neoplasias de células linfoides maduras B: avaliação dos casos diagnosticados e acompanhados no hospital universitário da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina entre 2011 e 2014
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Farmácia, Florianópolis, 2015.De acordo com a classificação da OMS (2008), as neoplasias de células maduras B (NCLM-B) abrangem os linfomas de células B (LCB) e as neoplasias de células plasmocitárias (NCP). O diagnóstico das NCLM-B é baseado nos exames morfológicos, fenotípicos e genéticos, associados aos dados clínicos do paciente. No entanto, mesmo com essas ferramentas diagnósticas, em alguns casos não é possível definir o subtipo de NCLM-B. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os casos de NCLM-B diagnosticados entre 2011 e 2014 e acompanhados no HU-UFSC a fim de traçar o perfil desses pacientes. Foram incluídos no estudo 93 pacientes adultos portadores de NCLM-B. Os subtipos mieloma múltiplo (MM), leucemia linfocítica crônica de células B (LLC/LLP), linfoma difuso de grandes células B (LDGCB), linfoma folicular (LF) e linfoma de Burkitt (LB) foram os mais frequentes, representando 23,7%, 15,1%, 12,9%, 11,8% e 7,5% dos casos, respectivamente. A idade mediana dos pacientes no momento do diagnóstico foi de 58 anos, com uma relação entre os gêneros masculino e feminino de 1,3:1. Foi observada diferença significativa entre os subtipos de LCB em relação aos parâmetros idade, atividade da LDH e expressão de Ki-67. De acordo com os índices prognósticos, observou-se que a maioria dos pacientes portadores de MM foi estratificada como de alto risco, enquanto que a maioria dos portadores de LLC/LLP foi estratificada como de baixo risco. Os pacientes portadores de LB foram os que apresentaram maiores índices de recidiva/progressão. Para todos os pacientes, a frequência de óbito durante o período de estudo foi de 31,2% e a média de sobrevida global (SG) foi de 27,6 meses. Foi observada diferença significativa entre os tempos de SG dos pacientes portadores de LB daqueles com LLC/LLP, LF e LDGCB. A concordância entre os exames de imunofenotipagem (IMF) e de imuno-histoquímica foi de 100%, 47,5%, 93,2%, 71,7% e 46,9%, para os subtipos MM, LLC/LLP, LDGCB, LF e LB, respectivamente. Em relação à expressão fenotípica, para auxílio diagnóstico, destaca-se a expressão dos marcadores CD200, CD81 e CD62L nas células de LLC/LLP; CD10, CD43 e CD81 nas células de LB; CD10 e CD95 nas células de LF; e CD39 nas células de LDGCB. Em conclusão, o perfil dos pacientes diagnosticados com NCLM-B no HU-UFSC é semelhante àquele observado na literatura e a IMF se mostrou uma excelente ferramenta diagnóstica, concordante com a IHQ.Abstract : According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification (2008), mature B-cell neoplasms (MBCN) are a heterogeneous group of diseases that comprises B-cell lymphomas (BCL) and plasma cell disorders (PCD). MBCN current diagnosis is usually based on a combination of morphology, immunophenotype, recurrent cytogenetic aberration and clinical features. However, even with these diagnostic tools, in some cases aberrant and overlapping phenotypes often can make the definitive diagnosis difficult. In this view, the aim of this study was to assess the profile of patients diagnosed with MBCN and monitored at the University Hospital of UFSC between 2011 and 2014. The study included 93 adult patients with MBCN diagnosis. The most frequent subtypes were multiple myeloma (MM), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and Burkitt lymphoma (BL), representing 23.7%, 15.1%, 12.9%, 11.8%, and 7.5% of the cases, respectively. The median age at diagnosis was 58 years with a male-to-female ratio of 1.3:1. There were statistical differences in terms of age at diagnosis, LDH levels and Ki-67 expression among BCL subtypes. According to the prognostic indexes, it was observed that the majority of MM patients was stratified as high risk, while the majority of CLL patients was classified as low risk. LB patients showed the highest rates of recurrence/progression. Regarding all patients, the incidence of death during the study period was 31.2% and the average overall survival (OS) was 27.6 months. Statistical differences were found in terms of OS between BL and CLL, BL and FL, and BL and DLBCL. The concordance between immunophenotypic and immunohistochemical methods were 100%, 47.5%, 93.2%, 71.7% e 46.9%, for MM, CLL, DLBCL, FL, and BL, respectively. Regarding phenotypic expression, the expression of CD200, CD81 and CD62L markers by CLL cells; CD10, CD43 and CD81 by BL cells; CD10 and CD95 by FL cells; and CD39 by DLBCL cells, were considered as relevant in order to assist diagnosis. In conclusion, the profile of MBCN patients diagnosed and monitored at our Institution is similar to that observed in the literature, besides, immunophenotyping showed good concordance with immunohistochemistry
Governing globalization in South Asia through a legal praxis of human rights, development and democracy
No full textABSTRACT
This doctoral thesis in law seeks to understand, and begin to remedy, the immense and avoidable poverty that disenfranchises at least 30 percent of the world's most populous region. Defining South Asia as Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the study analyses the multidimensional nature, historical origins and modern dynamics of both this material poverty and poverties of human rights, democracy and development. Both critical analysis and creative response are framed within legal history, human rights jurisprudence, constitutional and administrative law, comparative law and public international law, but the author draws extensively on political economy and history, and partially on philosophy, and cultural studies.
Chapter 1 traces the Western evolution of the universal human rights regime, first globalized in 1948 by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It also traces South Asian sociopolitical and religious articulations of human dignity and limitations on legitimate power through the ages. Mostly contrary to culturally relativist claims, South Asia's human rights needs are found to be well served by a genuinely universalist regime including justiciable economic, social and cultural rights as inseparable from civil and political.
Chapters 2 and 3 survey the historical globalizations that have impacted on South Asia. Although globalization is shown to be a neutral phenomenon, the author identifies the insidious contemporary propagation of a particular neo-liberal ideology as being globalization's inevitable and optimal form. The study analyses this propagation by the International Financial Institutions the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, acting through Structural Adjustment Policies and only partially corrective Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers. Neo-liberalism supposedly unshackles benign market forces from distorting governmental rules to create spontaneous growth that trickles down to the poor; in fact it employs its own rules to privilege the already wealthy, especially Western capital and transnational corporations (TNCs).
The thesis urges South Asia to govern globalization pro-actively, seeking the virtuous circle of human rights, plural democracy and equitable development. Positive signs have already included national membership in, and constitutional enshrinement of, universal human rights norms, and certain efforts of civil society and non-governmental organizations, fostered at times by activist judiciaries.
Chapter 4 nevertheless catalogues overriding failures to internalize plural democracy and the rule of law, leaving rights nominal and democratic structures hollow. Governments have been obsequious to neo-liberal hegemony, insouciant to their underclasses and exploitative of religious schisms in appeal to tyrannous majoritarianism. The South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation is shown as an inadequate response to the region's multidimensional poverties.
Adapting instead the best practices of the Council of Europe, the Organization of American States, the African Union, and the British Commonwealth from Chapter 5, Chapter 6 details a South Asian Union for Human Rights Development and Democracy to replace SAARC. This new regional response complements global human rights norms and offers South Asia solidarity in confronting neo-liberalism, and holding TNCs, IFIs and especially their own governments accountable to the rule of law, equitable development, deep democracy, wide human rights, and larger freedom in peace and security
