A CONTRACT REVIEWED FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CIVIL LAW IN INDONESIA MAY BE DELAYED DUE TO FORCE MAJEURE

The aim of this study is to: Recognize the structure of an emergency clause (force majeure) in a contract; and Recognize the legal implications for the parties involved and the actions that need to be taken in the event that an emergency (force majeure) nullifies a contract. In this study, the author used three distinct methodologies, conceptual, legislative, and comparative. However, in order to fulfill their responsibilities under a contract or agreement, the parties must be able to prove that they are faced with legitimate obstacle

Left ventricular assessment in patients with significant mitral incompetence: a multi-modality imaging study

Background: Detection of the deleterious effect of MR on LV is crucial in guiding the surgical decision. Aim of the study: Comprehensive assessment of LV with significant primary MR using (2D, 3D echo and CMR). Methods: 40 patients with significant MR have been recruited in a prospective study. Patients underwent 2D and 3D echo and CMR studies. LV volumes, function and GLS were calculated. Results: End diastolic and systolic volumes were significantly larger when measured by CMR (all p &lt; 0.001). EDV measures were strongly correlated with CMR and 3D echocardiography. Conclusion: It’s important to identify early deleterious LV changes.</jats:p

Association between menstrual disturbances and habitual use of caffeine

AbstractObjectivesThe main objective of this study was to determine whether there is an association between drinking caffeinated beverages and menstruation among Saudi female students.MethodsDuring the 2011 academic year, a cross-sectional study was conducted by administering a questionnaire about menstruation and self-reported habitual use of caffeinated food or drinks to 350 premenopausal women with no known medical disease who were working or studying at the University. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by chi-squared cross-tabulation. All tests were two tailed, and results were considered significant when p < 0.05.ResultsIrregular periods were reported by 140 women (40%), amenorrhoea by 26%, oligomenorrhoea by 20.9%, heavy periods by 13.4% and prolonged periods by 9.7%. Few women (7.7%) reported a previous diagnosis of polycystic ovary disease. Coffee was a risk factor for both prolonged periods (OR, 2.37; 95% CI, 1.09–5.12; p = 0.03) and oligomenorrhoea (1.95; 1.15–3.30; p = 0.014). Nescafe was a risk factor for heavy periods (2.22; 1.91–4.12; p = 0.011) and menstrual symptoms (1.84; 1.06–3.02; p = 0.039). Chocolate was protective against premenstrual symptoms (0.22; 0.06–0.85; p = 0.049).ConclusionsThere is a high prevalence of undiagnosed menstrual disturbances among Saudi university women. Habitual use of caffeine should be considered a risk factor for most menstrual abnormalities
