{"title":"International Radiographers in Danger: A Letter to the Editor","authors":"A Aahmari","doi":"10.26420/jdismarkers.2021.1041","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26420/jdismarkers.2021.1041","url":null,"abstract":"I have published a case study about how British universities −who offer radiographic reporting programs for radiographers− put admission conditions and tuitions on radiographers in three categories which are; British citizens, European citizens, and internationals [1]. I compared the three categories by collecting the data from the universities’ websites directly. The case study has a simple methodology which is clearly explained in the paper [1]. The case study showed that there is no English language requirements for Europeans due to the Bologna Agreement in June 19, 1999 and the Copenhagen Declaration in November 2002. The English language is not the mother tongue of any European country besides the UK. The tuitions for international students are very high compared to the UK/European citizens where they (UK/European) have the same low tuition. In addition, the international students can’t join approved programs from the HCPC, while UK/European citizens can join HCPC approved programs. The interpretation modules are not allowed for international students and they are allowed for UK/ European students. Training, ability to have the HCPC registration, and the ability to work all are allowed for UK/European citizens, while international students are not allowed to do so. After I published this case study which shows the facts in solid data that there is segregation on all levels and discrimination against international Radiographers, the Society and College of Radiographers and the Head of Radiography Education sent two letters threatening the journals Editors and I [2,3]. They said they are so perfect and they do not have any discrimination whatsoever [2,3]. They demanded to remove the paper from the online source and publish an apology [2,3]. They threaten and bullied me and the journal editors that they will legally be suing us for defamation. Therefore, I publish this letter challenging them to sue me. What I have published is accurate 100% and I did not make the numbers from my head. I collected the data from the universities’ websites directly. All that they claimed in their letters are wrong and emotionally driven. They did not stop here, no they continued by sending their trolls to report my researchgate account to suspend my account for more than one month. Is well known that the HCPC and the British media when someone is not British get suspended or not allowed to do any medical practice in the UK for any issue, the British media and HCPC publish their names, age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, and what mistake they did, but when the person is a white British citizen, the HCPC and the media tend to hide their identity and usually they get suspended for a short period of time. The HCPC, Society of Radiographers, and Heads of Radiography Education are discriminating on all levels against us as international radiographers and this is supported by numbers and solid data. They claim that they are so perfect and do not have any issue.

Results: The result of this study showed that there is a relation between falx cerebri and gender since its more common in female patients. The density of the calcifications is higher in males and the calcifications are longer on the AP axis, while the falx cerebri calcifications are wider in the coronal axis in females. Conclusion: There is a relation between Calcification of falx cerebri and gender.","PeriodicalId":344125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Disease Markers","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114741702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: In cross-sectional study 163 patients were enrolled; 43 patients with MS, 93 withT2DM, 13 with ESRD, and 14 healthy subjects (control group). All patients had their ascription to the UMAA/UMF No. 75, in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. Glucose, creatinine, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and renalase were measurement in serum, and Dopamine (DA), Epinephrine (E) and Norepinephrine (NE) in plasma. An aliquot of saliva was collected for alpha amylase determination. Results: High plasma concentrations of DA, E and NE (p<0.0001) was founded in T2DM and ESRD patients. Renalase was lower in ESRD compared to MS and T2DM patients (p<0.0001). High concentrations of alpha amylase were found in MS, T2DM, and ESRD patients in comparison with control group (p<0.0001). Catecholamines correlated positively with alpha amylase and diabetes evolution. Conclusion: Sympathetic hyperactivity in MS, T2DM and ESRD patients was founded. Renalase could be proposed as biomarker of renal function and salivary alpha amylase as sympathetic hyperactivity. Additional studies are required to evaluate the pathophysiological mechanisms involved of SNS in CKD development.","PeriodicalId":344125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Disease Markers","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122575556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is evaluate the relationship between Vitamin D levels and ultrasonographical data and cytological features of the nodules obtained by biopsy and after surgery in an eastern region of Turkey. Methods: The records of 225 patients who underwent fine needle aspiration biopsy were included in the research. Thyroid hormone, and Vitamin D levels, ultrasonograpical parameters and biopsy and surgery results of the individuals were recorded. We seeked a relationship between Vitamin D levels and also results of the nodules obtained with ultrasonography, biopsy and surgery. Results: There were no relationship between Vitamin D and ultrasonographical characteristics, fine needle aspiration biopsy and also histopathological surgery results. Conclusions: Our results showed that there were no relationship between Vitamin D and ultrasonographical characteristics, biopsy and surgery results. However although size of our group was small, we found that if the patient had a large nodule and deficient Vitamin D levels, their cytological results might be malign. So we reached a conclusion that in such patients although biopsy reveals a benign result, the procedure must be repeated.","PeriodicalId":344125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Disease Markers","volume":"335 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115965106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
