Background and objectives

Tumor size has been identified as a critical prognostic factor after pancreatic adenocarcinoma resection; however, this is still up for debate. The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between size and the results of pancreatic cancer resection.

Patients and methods

The studied subjects were divided into two groups as follows: group A: included 69 patients with pancreatic head/uncinate process tumor ≤3 cm in size (maximum tumor diameter), subjected to elective pancreaticoduodenectomy, group B: included 87 patients with pancreatic head/uncinate process tumor >3 cm in size (maximum tumor diameter), subjected to elective pancreaticoduodenectomy.

From January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2021, at Menoufia University’s National Liver Institute, we looked at the clinical, radiological, histological, and survival characteristics of tiny pancreatic cancer tumors (tumors ≤3 cm) in comparison to tumors above 3 cm in size following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Calculations were made of overall cancer-specific survivals. Key factors were assessed for relevance in survival prediction using a Cox proportional hazards model.

Results

Among the tumors measured, 44.2% were ≤3 cm in size 55.8% tumor were greater than 3 cm in size. Larger tumors were associated with worse symptoms, higher Ca19.9, more progressive TNM stages, longer operative time, more blood transfusion, higher grade, more vascular invasion, more involved surgical margin, and more lymph node invasion. Our study compared data of 1-year survival rates of 79.1% and 50% as seen with ≤3 cm tumor size and with above 3 cm tumor size, respectively, also 2-year survival rates of 40.3% and 19.2% were seen with ≤3 cm tumor size and with above 3 cm tumor size, respectively, the result being statistically significant (P<0.001). Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma size above 3 cm was associated with a worse prognosis together with histologic grading, vascular invasion, involved surgical margin, longer waiting list time, and progressive T stages.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that early pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma detection can have clinical benefits, which has positive implications for future screening strategies. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma size above 3 cm is an independent predictive factor for poor prognosis after surgical resection and is associated with more aggressive tumor biology. Future trials are required to evaluate the survival benefit of neoadjuvant therapy in this subset of patients.

Published: January 2024

Background

Laparoscopic surgery is now the accepted method of choice for practically all abdominal procedures. A number of trocar site closure techniques have been developed, but many of them are unaffordable and/or difficult to employ.

Patients and methods

The objective of this prospective interventional study is to assess the duration required to close the trocar site, the incidence of hemorrhage or other postoperative problems, and the safety and effectiveness of a novel fascial closure technique (the Madany closure). Patients who were eligible for laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the Aswan University Hospital’s General Surgery Department were included.

Results

One hundred and thirty patients were included in our study. Most of the participants were females, representing 93.08% of patients. The mean age of participants was 40.07±10.02 years, and the median (interquartile range) total time for the complete closure of the port site was 83.5 s (44.75 s). After the follow-up period of 6 months, no patient developed a trocar-site hernia.

Conclusion

The Madany closure technique provides a safe, fast, and effective technique for the closure of laparoscopic port sites.
Comparative study of outcomes of different approaches in redo mitral valve surgery
Authors: Radwan Mohaned M.M. , Sewielam Mohamed I. , Shawky Hisham A.F.
Published: January 2024

Background

Redo mitral valve replacement surgery is a challenging procedure as the access of the mitral valve mandates good exposure yet mitral visualization may not be sufficient as previous cardiac operations may complicate mitral valve exposure, as adhesions and loss of mobility in the surrounding tissues may be present. In such cases, the conventional left atrial incision may not offer satisfactory visualization in the surgical site of the valve. Therefore, several alternative approaches have been proposed, such as superior trans-septal approach, for satisfactory visualization of the mitral valve intra-operatively.

Patients and methods

Between January 2017 and November 2021, 100 patients were enrolled and with 50 patients randomly assigned in each group. Group one on patients undergoing redo surgery via a superior trans-septal approach and group two undergoing redo surgery via left atrial approach.

Results

Transeptal approach provides same results like left atrial approach in redo mitral valve surgery.

Conclusion

We conclude that the transseptal approach when compared to left atrial in redo patients provides comparable results in the intraoperative as well as postoperative outcomes
Laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass versus laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in redosurgery after failed vertical banded gastroplasty with long gastric pouch
Authors: Zaid Mohamed H. , Sabry Ahmed M. , Khalil Ahmed
Published: January 2024

Background

Up to 50% of patients who undergo vertical band gastroplasty (VBG) experienced weight regain or complications, like band erosion or slippage, within 5–10 years of the procedure, the aim of the study to evaluate laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass versus laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass as a redosurgery after failed VBG.

Patients and methods

We analyzed the data of 102 patients (38 males and 64 females) underwent revisional surgery after failed VBGs from July 2021 to August 2022, with mean age 45.92 years, follow up for 1 year in Ain Shams University Hospitals.

Results

The mean hospital stay was 1.8 days (1–4 days), 2.9 days (2–7 days) in Redo laparoscopic mini gastric bypass (R-LMNGB) and Redo laparoscopic roux en Y gastric bypass (R-LRYGB) respectively. Postoperative BMI after 1 year 31.16±27.83 and 31.94±3.69 in R-LMNGB and R-LRYGB, respectively, %EWL show significant difference between two groups after 3 months and 1 year. Postoperative complications rates were 3.92% in R-LRYGB.

Conclusions

R-LMNGB after failed VBG has almost the same results of R-LRYGB as regard weight loss, improvement of obesity-related comorbidities with less operative time, hospital stay, less anastomosis, and complications.
Penetrating anterior abdominal stab wounds: is exploratory laparotomy mandatory?
Authors: Abdallah Hassan A. , Kabbash Mansour M. , Saad Mohamed Rabie
Published: January 2024

Background

Despite the consensus that patients with penetrating anterior abdominal stab wounds (AASWs) who presented with shock, diffuse peritonitis, or evisceration should be offered immediate laparotomy, the treatment of stable patients with negative abdominal examination is a bit controversial. It seems that selective nonoperative management (SNOM) of stable patients is picking up steam.

Aim

This study aimed to evaluate our experience in treating AASW patients and assess the safety and efficacy of the SNOM of AASWs.

Patients and methods

From March 2023 to October 2023, this study was conducted at the Aswan University Hospital’s General Surgery Department. It involved 69 patients with penetrating AASWs. Group I: 31 hemodynamically stable patients who showed no signs of peritonitis underwent local wound exploration and were monitored with serial examinations. Group II: 38 individuals had evisceration, shock, and peritonitis treated by emergency laparotomy.

Results

Group I patients had successful nonoperative management in 83.87% of cases. The remaining 16% had delayed laparotomies, all of which were therapeutic. In group II, out of the 38 patients who had emergency laparotomies, 21% had unnecessary laparotomies. By combining selective management with diagnostic tests, we were able to bring the rate of unnecessary laparotomies down to zero. Complications occurred in 12.5% of patients who had an unnecessary laparotomy.

Conclusion

The SNOM of AASW patients who are asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic allows for a large reduction in unnecessary laparotomies.

Objective

The choice between a stapler and a hand-sewn intestinal anastomosis is based on surgical experience as well as individual preference. The purpose of the study was to compare the results of hand-sewn versus stapled anastomoses in urgent intestinal procedures.

Patients and methods

The study included 96 patients who, between October 2020 and October 2022, received emergency intestinal anastomoses at our associated university institutions. Randomly selected patients were assigned to two groups: group A (n=50) received stapled anastomoses, and group B (n=46) received hand-sewn anastomoses.

Results

Patient information, duration of operation, anastomotic leak incidence, and complications following surgery were all documented.

Findings

Group A’s operating time was substantially less (P=0.0001). There was no discernible difference in blood loss, leakage rate, wound infection, or mortality between the two groups.

Published: January 2024

Background

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in infants and children. It is the third most common solid tumor in children after neuroblastoma and Wilms tumor, making up 10–15% of all solid pediatric tumors. At National Cancer Institute (NCI), Egypt, soft tissue sarcomas represent 3.75% of total malignancies and 27.6% of these occur in the pediatric group. RMS is the most common type.

Aim and objectives

This work aims to study the treatment outcome, overall survival (OS), and event free survival (EFS) of pediatric RMS patients diagnosed and treated at NCI.

Patients and methods

This is a retrospective study that included 54 pediatric patients, newly diagnosed with RMS who were treated at the pediatric oncology department, NCI, Cairo University, Egypt during the period from January 2012 to December 2016.

Results

Totally 54 pediatric patients with RMS with ages ranging from 7 months to 17 years (median age 5 years) were studied. The median follow-up period ranged with a minimum 1 year for the last patient. In this study, we classify our patients into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups according to IRS and we found that 11 (20.4%) patients were eligible for the low-risk group, 27 (50%) patients were eligible for the intermediate risk group and 16 (29.6%) patients were eligible for the high-risk group. The 2-year OS for low-risk group was 90.9%, it was 52.1% for intermediate-risk group, while it was 43.8% for high-risk group (P=0.02). The 2-year EFS for low-risk group was 63.6%, it was 41.2% for intermediate-risk group, while it was 31.3% for high-risk group (P=0.203).

Conclusion

RMS requires combined-modality therapy. Late presentation and advanced local disease compromise treatment options and decrease OS and EFS.

Authors: Aref'eva Irina Yaroslavna , Volovich Igor Vasil'evich
Published: January 2024

Черные дыры нарушают третий закон термодинамики, и это порождает трудности с микроскопическим описанием энтропии черных дыр. Недавно было показано, что микроскопическое описание термодинамики черной дыры Шварцшильда в $D = 4$ пространстве-времени обеспечивается аналитическим продолжением энтропии бозе-газа с нерелятивистской одночастичной энергией до отрицательного числа пространственных измерений $d =-4$. Здесь показано, что термодинамику черных дыр Шварцшильда при $D=5$ и $D=6$ можно смоделировать $d$-мерным бозе-газом, $d=1,2,3,… $, с одночастичной энергией $\varepsilon(k)=k^\alpha$ при условиях $\alpha =-d/3$ и $\alpha=-d/4$ соответственно. В этих случаях свободная энергия бозе-газа имеет расходимости, введено обрезание и проведены минимальные перенормировки. Проведена также перенормировка с использованием аналитической регуляризации, и доказано, что минимальная перенормировка дает тот же ответ, что и аналитическая регуляризация с помощью дзета-функции.
Middle school mathematics teachers’ concept definitions of geometric objects
Authors: ERDEM Emrullah , MAN Sedat
Published: January 2024

The aim of this study is to examine middle school mathematics teachers’ concept definitions of five geometric objects (prism, pyramid, cone, cylinder, and sphere). The study was carried out with the participation of 99 mathematics teachers who have been working in middle schools located in three different provinces and districts. The data were gathered through a form consisting of six open-ended questions, which were prepared to reveal the participants’ Concept Definition (CD) of Geometric Objects (GOs). Via content analysis technique, codes from the data and categories from the codes were obtained. Results showed that some of the participants could not make the CDs of GOs correctly, that they generally drew the square or rectangular forms and only included the vertical states of the GOs objects. It was found that participants generally could not establish a relation between “cylinder and prism” and “cone and pyramid”. Evidence was also found that some of the participants saw themselves as inadequate in defining the GOs. On the other hand, it can be said from their explanations and drawings that the teachers’ professional experiences do not have much effect on defining those concepts.

Published: January 2024

Invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST) or ductal carcinoma is the most common type of invasive breast cancers. Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the most common special variant amongst breast cancers that lacks some of the common features associated with breast cancers e.g. absence of desmoplastic reaction and infrequent mitosis. Some cases of ILC produce intracellular mucin that pushes the nucleus to one side, creating the characteristic signet ring cell morphology. Extracellular mucin secretion is essentially described in association with mucinous breast carcinoma and ductal carcinoma. Very few cases of ILC showing extracellular mucin has been reported in literature. Herein, such a rare case of classic lobular carcinoma is described, in a 70-year-old female who presented to the Surgical department of our hospital.

Introduction: Withania somnifera (WS)/Ashwagandha is well-known as an anti-stressor. Although the active constituents are present in the entire plant, only roots are used. Thus, our aim was to evaluate the physical endurance enhancing capacity of the stem extract versus root extract post extraction. Methods: A total of 18 healthy, adult, male Swiss albino mice of age 6 – 8 weeks were randomized into three groups of 6 each: (1) WS stem extract 100mg/kg (2) WS spent root extract 100mg/kg and (3) 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose. The animals were dosed orally once daily for 7 days and were subjected to the swim endurance test. Results: There was no significant difference in weight between the three groups (p=0.196). Difference in mean swim time across the 3 groups was significant (p=0.006). The mean difference (MD) in swim time between the spent root group and the control group was statistically significant (MD (95% CI) = 113. 64 (48.22, 179.06); p = 0.002). However, the other two comparisons (stem vs spent root and stem vs control) were not significant. Conclusion: The stem extract of WS showed physical endurance enhancing actions not significantly different from that of spent root. However, when compared with the control, spent root extract significantly improved physical endurance. The stem extract although improved physical endurance, did not achieve statistical significance. Thus, the stem of the plant may also be explored for use in therapeutics which otherwise is merely discarded after harvesting the roots.

Published: January 2024

Background: Globally, Breast cancer is the commonest malignancy among women. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is the treatment of choice for patients with locally advanced breast cancer. Pathological evaluation of tumor size remains the gold standard for evaluation of residual tumor after chemotherapy.1, 2 The aim of study was to evaluate histomorphological changes in the post-NACT MRM biopsies and to assess the response to chemotherapy. Method: The study was carried out over a period of one year in 30 patients of breast cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and underwent MRM. The pathological tumor response was evaluated. Observations: Mean age of presentation was 50.13 years and mean clinical size was 3.86 cm. Post MRM, residual tumor was found in 22 cases. The mean residual tumor size was 2.53 cm. Complete Pathological Response (pCR) was observed in 8 patients, partial response (pPR) developed in 19 patients and 3 patients elicited no response (pNR). The major observation was overall decrease in cellularity along with significant nuclear and stromal alterations. The common stromal changes observed was necrosis (n=24), fibrosis (n=22), desmoplasia (n=20), hyalinization of vessels (n=18) and chronic inflammatory infiltrates. Nuclear changes (n=14) and cytoplasmic vacuolations (n=11) were also observed. Presence of older age group, larger tumor size, DCIS, LVI and necrosis prior to chemotherapy indicated a poor response to treatment. Conclusion: Each patient responds differently to the NACT based on numerous factors like age, tumor size and tumor morphology. Hence, the pathologists must be aware of the vast array of histomorphological changes seen in breast post-NACT.

Published: January 2024

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a worldwide health problem caused by resistance to insulin action. Polymorphism of adiponectin gene was found to be implicated in the pathogenesis of T2DM in numerous populations. Adiponectin is secreted by fat cells and is linked with insulin resistance. Methodology: The study included fifty patients with T2DM and fifty healthy individuals served as a control group to assess the association of adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ). The genotyping studies were performed by polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods. Results: Mean levels of various anthropometric and biochemical parameters were significantly higher in T2DM than healthy controls. The levels of circulatory adiponectin were found significantly lower in T2DM as compared to healthy controls and Serum leptin levels were moderately higher in the diabetic than those in the nondiabetic. There was no significant association of CC and CG genotypes with T2DM patients. C and G allele frequencies of the rs266729 were also not significantly associated with T2DM cases as compared to healthy controls. It was observed that significant impact on circulatory adiponectin levels for rs266729 polymorphism with GG genotype having very low circulatory adiponectin level. There was no significant association of CC, CG genotype and C, G allele frequencies of rs266729 in with T2DM cases as compared to healthy controls. Conclusion: The rs266729 > G SNP of adiponectin gene is a risk factor for the development of T2DM in Kumaon population. Keywords: Adiponectin, Diabetes, Disease, Health, Human

Superficial siderosis as a concomitant finding in SIH has not been quite frequent. Superficial siderosis, especially in the posterior fossa, when seen in patients with headaches, is vital to evaluate for spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Subpial hemosoderin deposition in the brain and spinal cord usually occurs as a result of recurrent or persistent haemorrhage into the subarachnoid space, the source of which is not discernible in all cases, in spite of extensive neuroimaging. We report a patient who presented with headache and vomiting, whose neuroimaging findings were indicative of features pointing towards superficial siderosis and SIH. Early identification of superficial siderosis in headaches not only helps us diagnose SIH but also guides clinicians to provide proper treatment, which could avoid complications.

A CONCEPTUAL REVIEW OF DOSHA PRAKOPA NIDANAS THROUGH SCATTERED REFERENCES OF AYURVEDA
Authors: B.M Rashmi.
Published: January 2024

It is rightly said, “Ayurvedo Amrutaanaam”. Ayurveda is a life science which explains the tridosha theory. As per
Ashtanga Hrudaya, dosha (bioenergy), dhatu (body tissues) and malas (excretory products) form the root of the
body. Fundamentals of Ayurveda are explained in Trisutras, i.e. hetu (aetiological factor), linga (clinical features)
and aushadha (medicine /treatment). So, 2/3rd of Ayurveda is coming under the purview of Roganidana. It is also
said that the manifestation of Roga is nothing but the imbalances in the proportions of dosha observed in the
body. Dosha vaishamya (imbalance of dosha) can be seen as a result of dosha vriddhi, kshaya, prakopa etc.
Dosha vaishamya, mainly dosha prakopa, is an essential step in the manifestation of samprapti and is understood
by assessing the nidana with that of dosha involved in the samprapti. Dosha prakopa occurs due to Gunataha
vruddhi after the nidanasevana and thus lead to manifestation of the disease. In this article, an attempt has been
made to collect the references, which includes all possible nidanas responsible for the prakopa of doshas.

Vitiligo is a disease that causes loss of skin colour in patches. The discolored areas usually get more significant
with time. Typically, the colour of hair and skin is determined by melanin. Vitiligo occurs when cells that produce
melanin die or stop functioning. Vitiligo affects people of all skin types, but it may be more noticeable in people
with brown and black skin. It can be linked to Shwitra based on clinical characteristics. Shwitra occurs when vitiated Doshas settle down in Rakta Dhatu. Rakta Dhatu further gets vitiated; Rakta Varna lesions are produced.
When Doshas gets settled in Medho Dhatu, it leads to Shwitra Roga.
1 Medical scientists have developed treatment
methods, but there are still a lot of side effects, and the probability of recurrence is also high in this disease condition. Hence, it is necessary to find an effective treatment for Shwitra. This study aims to assess the efficacy of
Ayurvedic management in Shwitra based on Shaman chikitsa.
Estimation of Rock Mechanical Properties of the Hartha Formation and their Relationship to Porosity Using Well-Log Data

The physical and elastic characteristics of rocks determine rock strengths in general. Rock strength is frequently assessed using porosity well logs such as neutron and sonic logs. The essential criteria for estimating rock mechanic parameters in petroleum engineering research are uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus. Indirect estimation using well-log data is necessary to measure these variables. This study attempts to create a single regression model that can accurately forecast rock mechanic characteristics for the Harth Carbonate Formation in the Fauqi oil field. According to the findings of this study, petrophysical parameters are reliable indexes for determining rock mechanical properties having good performance potential. The rock's mechanical characteristics were evaluated using multiple regression analysis (UCS- NPHI, Es- NPHI, VP/VS- NPHI, K- NPHI, and G- NPHI). The UCS-NPHI, obtaining correlation coefficients (R2= 0.74) and for young modulus (R2= 0.85). The expected continuous rock mechanical profile gives a fair indicator of the formation's strength and stability surrounding the wellbore. It can therefore be used to handle problems with wellbore instability, stop sand production, optimize drilling operations, including bit selection and drilling parameters, and perform fracturing operations throughout the Hartha Formation.

Published: January 2024

One key step when interpreting seismic reflection data is sequence stratigraphy, which has improved with well logs and seismic data. By analyzing the different layers of sediment and rock, we can better understand the geologic history of an area and make more accurate predictions for hydrocarbon exploration. The current research focuses on interpreting seismic lines from the 2D seismic surveys conducted in the Al-Fao area and data from wells in the Siba gas field to construct a stratigraphic model within the Yamama Formation, to identify hydrocarbon traps and determine the most promising zones for hydrocarbon exploration. Yamama Formation is divided into two main units representing transgressive and regressive facies deposited in highstand system tract. Six seismic facies were identified (wavy, mound shape, oblique parallel, sigmoid, chaotic, and parallel), which reflected the deposition of Yamama Formation in a ramp setting with a gentle slope. Instantaneous phase attribute was utilized, which focused on the lateral changes of seismic facies and provided detailed information about the architecture of Yamama Formation depositional basin. The results of the seismic attributes analysis included identifying carbonate buildups and progradation stacking patterns with the presence of direct hydrocarbon indicator. Three main seismic stratigraphic indexes representing potential stratigraphic traps have been identified. These three stratigraphic features reflect the facies of shoal carbonate sediments in the last depositional cycle of Yamama Formation (Highstand). The stratigraphic model showed the best image of the depositional environment of Yamama Formation that corresponds with the seismic data interpretation and identifies the promising hydrocarbon traps.
