Frozen Section Diagnosis: An Emphasis on Reasons, Accuracy and Errors for Discordance | Chapter 6 | Novel Research Aspects in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 5

The purpose of the hearing was comparing rates of intra-functioning frozen section disease with last diagnosis on paraffin section in consideration of assess concordant, conflicting, and postponed diagnosis rates and to label the causes of discordance. The links of intra-operative stopped section diagnosis accompanying permanent section definitive diagnosis is a important aspect of surgical pathology control of product quality. A retrospective analysis of 117 cases of stopped section biopsy was completed activity which were stated in the Histopathology department between July 2007 to June 2012.  The equivalence between the frozen division diagnosis with ending histological diagnosis was acted in order to check the accuracy of the method.  The number and type of discrepancies were compared, causes for the conflicts were analysed in order to decrease the avoidable mistakes and improve on the stopped section diagnoses. The overall accuracy of stopped section diagnoses over 5years was 90.60% with fake positive rate of 0.85%, false negative rate of 6.84% and 1.71% of delayed diagnosis. Sensitivity was 87.69% and Specificity was 98%. The conflicts were mainly due to the understanding error, sampling wrong and technical artefacts. Gross inspection, pathologist sample, stopped sections linked with cytological and histological analysis, and cooperation among consultants can help to escape few restrictions and give intensely, trustworthy, and inexpensive information needed favorable possible patient treatment.

Pedagogical Applications of Corpus Linguistics in the Twenty-First Century | Chapter 11 | Current Research in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 3

 As educators recognise the ability of computer technology to create both independent and collaborative learning settings, the role of computer technology as a resource for foreign language learners is growing in this digital era. Computer technologies such as the Internet, multimedia, and hypermedia have all been used in English Language Learning and Teaching (ELLT) to aid in the language learning process, and all of these fall under the category of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Corpus linguistics is a systematic study of actual (genuine) language creation (spoken or written), in which texts are constructed using computer technology (concordancer) to generate a vast collection of authentic texts, referred to as a corpus (plural-corpora). Despite decades of study on corpus linguistics, the potentials and limitations of Data-Driven Learning (DDL), and the application of corpus linguistics in English Language Teaching (ELLT), have not been generally studied. As a result, the purpose of this chapter is to explore the potentials and limitations of DDL in order to provide a foundation for future research. The chapter's educational use of DDL was used to demonstrate the contrasts between DDL and non-DDL techniques. This valuable knowledge is presented as a way to promote DDL and develop independent learners in the twenty-first century classroom. DDL learning also teaches learners to be self-corrective, constructive, and autonomous, especially when it comes to completing communicative tasks.

Study on HIV Prevention, Infertility and Concordance in Partner Selection among Couples Living with HIV and AIDS in Rural and Peri-Urban Contexts in Botswana | Chapter 8 | Research Trends and Challenges in Medical Science Vol. 10

 Using qualitative research techniques, this paper investigates marital partner selection and the significance of fertility status among HIV-positive couples. This research was carried out in Botswana's Maun and Gaborone regions, where patrilineal marriage customs are prevalent and both civil and traditional marriage practises are practised. After new civil marriages and where HIV status was positive for both spouses, data was obtained from 32 respondents using in-depth interviews. The findings of the study show that HIV status has a social impact on the marriage partners chosen by HIV-positive couples. However, once new marital relationships are established based on HIV status compatibility, the cultural value of fertility and childbearing remains paramount, and unprotected sex rates remain high. Even when they were aware of mother-to-child transmission and increased viral loads in their own bodies, HIV positive and concordant couples engaged in unprotected sex in order to affirm positive social status through reproductive success. The importance of understanding cultural norms surrounding fertility desires and fears of infertility in developing effective HIV prevention programmes is demonstrated in this paper. In a context where HIV infection rates have remained high, HIV concordant couples still pursue fertility success with partners, and this paper adds to the literature on both partner selection with regard to HIV status and the importance of qualitative investigation to elucidate cultural challenges to HIV prevention. In order to help inform policies in the development of evidence-based preventive measures in Botswana with respect to people living with HIV and AIDS, the paper concludes with additional suggestions for recognising the frequently ignored cultural significance of infertility in areas with elevated HIV infection rates.
