Authors: Jeelani Asif , Lone Shafat Sideeq , Hilal Rather
Published: November 2021

Background: COVID-19 diagnosis should serve as an impetus for smokers to discontinue its use. The study was conducted to estimate the change in cigarette dependence among newly diagnosed COVID-19 cases.
Aims and Objectives: COVID-19 diagnosis should serve as an impetus for smokers to discontinue its use. The study was conducted to estimate change in cigarette dependence among newly diagnosed COVID-19 cases.
Materials and Methods: Study was conducted between October and December 2020 and newly diagnosed male COVID-19 patients who were current smokers at diagnosis were recruited from two hospitals involved in testing and treatment of COVID-19. Baseline socioclinical information was recorded at diagnosis in addition to the estimation of cigarette dependence using Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) and health status using Post-COVID-19 Functional Scale (PCFS). Follow-up was done at 2 weeks after recovery using both FTND and PCFS scales. Wilcoxon signed-rank test, paired t-test, and ANOVA were used for univariate analysis and multivariate regression was done.
Results: A total of 171 subjects with mean age of 43.79 years were included in the study. FTND scores decreased significantly from the day of diagnosis to follow-up visit with 79% of subjects reporting a decrease. On univariate analysis, decrease in FTND had a significant association with presence of comorbidity, any symptoms, presence of respiratory symptoms, and if supplemental oxygen was administered. On multivariate analysis, symptomatic COVID-19 disease, higher age, PCFS at baseline, and PCFS at follow-up had a significant association with decreased PCFS values at follow-up.
Conclusion: COVID-19 diagnosis was followed by significant decrease in FTND score, particularly for symptomatic and older subjects. Post-COVID follow-up visits should be used asan opportunity by health providers to ensure its sustainability and for achieving cessation.

Published: November 2021

Background: Mental health is a big problem throughout the world, and India is not far behind. When we look at progress in the field of mental health, it appears to be sluggish. Despite the fact that a newly created mental health literacy (MHL) scale revealed substantial score disparities between the general public and mental health professionals, there is currently no published scale to measure MHL among healthcare students.
Aims and Objectives: The major part was comparing the knowledge, attitude and perception of 1st year medical students with final year medical students regarding psychiatric disorders and measuring there response on Likert scale.
Materials and Methods: The participants were recruited from 1st year to final year undergraduate students, during the period April 2019 to January 2020 in Patna Medical College and Hospital, Patna. The sample consisted of 100 students (50 from 1st year MBBS Students and 50 from final year MBBS (Students) Non-random, non-stratified, and purposive sampling was done for the purpose of the study.
Results: Among the groups, majority of the of the final year students (64%) agreed that the best described condition of the patient was Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but only 26% of the 1st years students agreed that the best described condition of the patient was Generalized Anxiety Disorder. There was significant difference between 1st years and final year students about the knowledge of the described condition with P<0.001.
Conclusion: Result showed that the final year students had more knowledge about the cases with regard to correct diagnosis, usefulness of various treatments and interventions and best the source of help. The 1st and final yearstudent had no differences in the attitude and perception regarding various cases given in the vignettes. Stigma based attitude was almost equally common among both 1st year and final year students.

Published: November 2021

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is also home to other religious minorities. Since Independence, these minorities have played a significant role in serving the nation through different professions, and teaching is one of them. Yet, there is a growing concern regarding how well and respectfully they are accommodated in a Muslim majority society. This phenomenological research study explores the perspectives of Christian teachers concerning their difficulties in dealing with students and parents of different religions and their support needs. Ten teachers were purposively selected for semi-structured interviews. Content analysis revealed that although most teachers were satisfied with working conditions and the behaviors of students and parents with them, few of them highlighted the issues of forced conversion to Islam and usage of derogatory language. Teachers also suggested that there is a need to change the mindset of the people through education, and the government should provide more opportunities to minorities.
Understanding Architectural Transformation: A Lesson for Young Architects
Authors: Khan Shahid Mansoor , Shah Mir Wali , Anwar Adnan
Published: November 2021

Architecture goes through a steady yet extremely slow process of evolution which is, most of the time, hardly observable in centuries. The process of architectural transformation has rarely been described holistically in the available literature; therefore, there is a need to explore and present this important process in the simplest possible manner for a better understanding of the young architects as well as students. The focus of this descriptive study was to explore the available literature on this important topic and to create a simple, precise and meticulous descriptive summary for the better understanding of young architects. Data used in this literature-based article was mostly secondary; however, it was tried to summarize the entire discussion in diagrammatic form. The study suggests practitioners should not opt for sudden and drastic turns in the architecture in terms of spatial configuration, formal compositions, and technological interventions as these may result in the acceleration of psychological and perceptual stress in users as well as the viewers.

Patient perception of scoliosis correction surgery on Instagram
Authors: Agarwal Nitin , Rahman Amaan , Jacobs Rachel , Taylor Tavis , Muthiah Nallammai , Alan Nima , Ozpinar Alp , Fields Daryl , Hamilton David Kojo
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE

Patient feedback surveys provide important insight into patient outcomes, satisfaction, and perioperative needs. Recent critiques have questioned provider-initiated surveys and their capacity to accurately gauge patient perspectives due to intrinsic biases created by question framing. In this study, the authors sought to evaluate provider-independent, patient-controlled social media Instagram posts in order to better understand the patient experience following scoliosis correction surgery.

METHODS

Twitter and Instagram were queried for posts with two tagged indicators, #scoliosissurgery or @scoliosissurgery, resulting in no relevant Twitter posts and 25,000 Instagram posts. Of the initial search, 24,500 Instagram posts that did not directly involve the patient’s own experience were eliminated. Posts were analyzed and coded for the following criteria: the gender of the patient, preoperative or postoperative timing discussed in the post, and classified themes related to the patient’s experiences with scoliosis correction surgery.

RESULTS

Females made 87.6% of the Instagram posts about their experience following scoliosis correction surgery. The initial postoperative stage of surgery was mentioned in 7.6% of Instagram posts. The most common theme on Instagram involved offering or seeking online support from other patients, which constituted 85.2% of all posts. Other common themes included concern about the surgical scar (31.8%), discussing the results of treatment (28.8%), and relief regarding results (21.2%).

CONCLUSIONS

Social media provided a platform to analyze unprompted feedback from patients. Patients were most concerned with their scoliosis correction surgery in the period of time 2 weeks or more after surgery. Themes that were most commonly found on Instagram posts were offering or seeking online support from other patients and concern about the surgical scar. Patient-controlled social media platforms, like Instagram, may provide a useful mechanism for healthcare providers to understand the patient experience following scoliosis correction surgery. Such platforms may help in evaluating postoperative satisfaction and improving postoperative quality of care.
Disseminated craniospinal low-grade glioma in a patient with NF-1 without optic pathway pathology: illustrative case
Authors: Tang Alan R. , Haizel-Cobbina Joseline , Paueksakon Paisit , Sarma Asha , Bennett Julie , Esbenshade Adam J. , Dewan Michael C.
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is a neurocutaneous autosomal dominant disorder that predisposes patients to develop intracranial low-grade gliomas (LGGs). Most LGGs in patients with NF-1 involve the optic pathway but can arise anywhere throughout the central nervous system. NF-1–related disseminated pediatric LGG (dPLGG) in the absence of a dominant optic pathway glioma has not been described.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors discussed a case of a 10-year-old boy who presented with consideration for biopsy with nonoptic pathway PLGG with craniospinal dPLGG in the setting of NF-1. The patient’s primary lesion, located in the right medulla, was initially treated with surveillance before induction chemotherapy with carboplatin and vincristine was initiated. However, surveillance imaging demonstrated significant increase in size and enhancement, and subsequent craniospinal imaging demonstrated extensive nodular dissemination in the cervicothoracic spine. A biopsy and molecular testing were subsequently performed to further evaluate the tumor, and the patient was diagnosed with dPLGG with CDKN2A deletion.

LESSONS

Thorough craniospinal magnetic resonance imaging evaluation and biopsy in nonoptic pathway–dominant brain lesions in NF-1 are warranted in patients with atypical clinical and radiological findings in whom standard chemotherapeutic therapy fails.
Premature spinal fusion after insertion of magnetically controlled growing rods for treatment of early-onset scoliosis: illustrative case
Authors: Green Anna H. , Brzezinski Andrzej , Ishmael Terrence , Adolfsen Stephen , Bowe J. Andrew
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) systems have gained attention for their use in the treatment of early-onset scoliosis. Although traditional growing rods require frequent operations to lengthen the construct, MCGR allows for fewer open procedures and more frequent distractions by externally controlling rod elongation. Despite its appealing advantages, MCGR is not without limitations.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors describe a case of premature spinal autofusion before growing rod removal and termination of rod distraction.

LESSONS

This case highlights the limitations of MCGR systems, including length of use, body habitus restrictions, and risk of autofusion.
Successful shrinkage of anterior communicating artery aneurysm after ACA–ACA bypass with interposed occipital artery graft in pediatric moyamoya disease: illustrative case
Authors: Nakajima Kota , Funaki Takeshi , Okawa Masakazu , Yoshida Kazumichi , Miyamoto Susumu
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Selecting therapeutic options for moyamoya disease (MMD)-associated anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm, a rare pathology in children, is challenging because its natural course remains unclear.

OBSERVATIONS

A 4-year-old boy exhibiting transient ischemic attacks was diagnosed with unilateral MMD accompanied by an unruptured ACoA aneurysm. Although superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery anastomosis eliminated his symptoms, the aneurysm continued to grow after surgery. Since a previous craniotomy and narrow endovascular access at the ACoA precluded both aneurysmal clipping and coil embolization, the patient underwent a surgical anastomosis incorporating an occipital artery graft between the bilateral cortical anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs). This was intended to augment blood flow in the ipsilateral ACA territory and to reduce the hemodynamic burden on the ACoA complex. The postoperative course was uneventful, and radiological images obtained 12 months after surgery revealed good patency of the bypass and marked shrinkage of the aneurysm in spite of the intact contralateral internal carotid artery.

LESSONS

Various clinical scenarios should be assessed carefully with regard to this pathology. Bypass surgery aimed at reducing flow to the aneurysm might be an alternative therapeutic option when neither coiling nor clipping is feasible.
An aberrant venous channel mimicking the perilabyrinthine cells in the petrous bone of a patient with vestibular schwannoma: illustrative case
Authors: Ito Masato , Higuchi Yoshinori , Horiguchi Kentaro , Nakano Shigeki , Origuchi Shinichi , Aoyagi Kyoko , Serizawa Toru , Yamakami Iwao , Iwadate Yasuo
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Anatomical variations, such as high jugular bulbs and air cell development in the petrosal bone, should be evaluated before surgery. Most bone defects in the internal auditory canal (IAC) posterior wall are observed in the perilabyrinthine cells. An aberrant vascular structure passing through the petrous bone is rare.

OBSERVATIONS

A 48-year-old man presented with a right ear hearing disturbance. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 23-mm contrast-enhancing mass in the right cerebellopontine angle extending into the IAC, consistent with a right vestibular schwannoma. Preoperative bone window computed tomographic scans showed bone defects in the IAC posterior wall, which ran farther posteroinferiorly in the petrous bone, reaching the medial part of the jugular bulb. The tumor was accessed via a lateral suboccipital approach. There was no other major vein in the cerebellomedullary cistern, except for the vein running from the brain stem to the IAC posterior wall. To avoid complications due to venous congestion, the authors did not drill out the IAC posterior wall or remove the tumor in the IAC.

LESSONS

Several aberrant veins in the petrous bone are primitive head sinus remnants. Although rare, their surgical implication is critical in patients with vestibular schwannomas.

We report the first VA-VAV-VV ECMO conversion in a 57-year-old Filipino female with persistent coronary insufficiency from toxic shock syndrome due to Streptococcus pyogenes bacteremia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and Harlequin syndrome with progressive acute limb ischemia from cone snail venom poisoning. The patient came in via air ambulance transport because deteriorating clinical status after having stepped on a cone snail 3 days prior and developing severe dehydration from vomiting and passage of voluminous watery stools after eating a local delicacy. The patient was admitted at the ICU where after 3 days of treatment, the patient developed cardiac tamponade and underwent stat pleuropericardial windowing with pericardiocentesis. Due to increasing pressor requirements from the combined shock, Swan-Ganz catheterization was inserted and a VA-ECMO system was set up. There was gradual improvement in cardiac hemodynamics, however oxygen requirement was increasing and both lower extremities became progressively violaceous with decreasing pulses. Harlequin syndrome was ruled in, the multidisciplinary team decided to convert to VAV hybrid circuit by adding a venous access by way of the right internal jugular vein. Improvement in oxygenation lead to eventual conversion from VAV to purely VV dedicated circuit. Ultrafiltration via ECMO was likewise done because of worsening azotemia and oliguria. The patient was then gradually weaned off from ECMO and was successfully decannulated after 8 days. Below knee amputation was done to address the progressive acute limb ischemia. The patient was nutritionally built up and physically rehabilitated and was eventually discharged improved on the 28th hospital day.

TWO COMMENTS ON PUSHKIN’S “JOURNEY TO ARZRUM”
Authors:   University of Wisconsin— Madison, Dolinin Alexander
Published: November 2021

These notes provide a historical-cultural commentary on two passages of Pushkin’s “Journey to Arzrum:” a Latin description of anomalous genitalia of “a sham hermaphrodite” discovered among Turkish prisoners of war, and a night scene of the interrogation of captured Turks which Pushkin compares to Salvator Rosa’s paintings. Both the pseudo-medical description and the allusion are contextualized: Pushkin’s interest in hermaphroditism is connected to the concepts of French Encyclopedists and their followers, while the allusion to Rosa’s “terrible” pictures is explained through the Romantic perception of the painter as a cult figure.

‘Political Parallelism’ and the Representation of Islam and Muslims in the Australian Press: A Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors:   Department of Media and Communication Studies, International Islamic University Islamabad, Pakistan, Junaid Ghauri Muhammad
Published: November 2021

Recent studies have evidenced that the coverage of Islam and Muslims is widely influenced by the ideological leanings of the newspapers. This paper is set to explore whether the ideological differences of the Australian newspapers are reflected in the coverage of Islam and Muslims during January 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017. Employing Van Dijk’s (1998) ideological square and lexicalization approaches within the CDA paradigm this study examined editorials from two leading Australian newspapers. The findings have validated the existence of the ‘political parallelism’ phenomenon in the editorial contents of the selected newspapers representing Islam and Muslims. The findings showed that The Australian, which is a ‘rightist/conservative’ newspaper, toed the line of ‘right-wing’ political parties and politicians such as Ms. Pauline and Mr. Turnbull, portrayed Islam and Muslims in an overwhelmingly negative way, appreciated anti-immigration policies, criticized those who support accepting refugees, highlighted violence in Muslims countries, and collectivized Muslims while commenting on terrorist attacks in the West. On the other hand, The Age, which is a ‘leftist’/‘centre-left’ newspaper, criticized the ‘far-rights’ for appreciating and supporting the ‘rightist/conservative’ policies against Muslims, advocated the ‘leftist/progressive/liberal’ stance, portrayed Islam and Muslims in a positive, supportive and balanced way, and advocated ‘understanding’, ‘harmony’ and ‘cohesion’ in Australia. Keywords: Political parallelism, Representation, Islam, Muslims, Critical discourse analysis, ideological square, lexicalization.

Program studi D-3 Teknik Perawatan alat berat memiliki unit excavator caterpillar 313D, dimana dalam pengoperasiannya harus selalu layak pakai sesuai standar seperti perawatan yang baik dan pengisian bahan bakar yang rutin. Proses pengisian bahan bakar masih dilakukan dengan cara konvensional yaitu dengan mengisi bahan bakar dengan mengangkat jerigen solar ke atas unit yang dapat beresiko terjadinya kecelakaan kerja. Oleh karena itu, untuk meminimalisir hal tersebut perlu adanya sebuah sistem pengisian otomatis. dalam penelitian ini akan dibuat sebuah sistem yang dapat digunakan untuk pengisian bahan bakar secara otomatis dengan menggunakan mikrokontroller jenis Arduino uno sebagai sistem pengontrolannya dan sensor ultrasonic sebagai sensor untuk membaca ketinggian bahan bakar dalam tangki.

BACKGROUND: In stem cell therapy, due to the lack of an effective carrier, a large number of transplanted stem cells are lost and die. Therefore, finding a suitable carrier has become a further direction of stem cell therapy. OBJECTIVE: In research on the co-culture of polycaprolactone (PCL) with 1,1′-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′- tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI) labeled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), we observe the effect of materials on the growth and proliferation of DiI labeled stem cells, and the effect of DiI labeling on patch preparation, so as to find a kind of biomaterial suitable for the growth and proliferation of BMSCs, and find a suitable cell carrier for stem cell therapy of myocardial infarction and in vivo tracing. METHODS: Clean grade Sprague Dawley rats were selected as experimental objects, BMSCs were isolated and cultured, and the surface markers were identified by flow cytometry. After the BMSCs were cultured for 3 passages, the BMSCs were stained with DiI dye, and the BMSCs DiI and PCL biomaterial film were co-cultured. After 24 hours, the cell growth was observed under fluorescence microscope, and fixed for scanning under electron microscope. The cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 at 1, 4, 7, 10 days of culture. The measurement data conforming to normal distribution are expressed in the form of mean ± standard deviation (X¯± s). One way ANOVA was used for comparison among groups, LSD analysis was used for pairwise comparison. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). RESULTS: BMSCs were strongly positive for CD90, CD44H, but negative for CD11b/c, CD45. Under fluorescence microscope, BMSCs DiI showed red light, fusiform or polygonal. Under the scanning electron microscope, the cell patch formed by co-culture of PCL film and DiI-BMSCs had a large number of cells on the surface and normal cell state. CCK-8 assay showed that the OD value on the first day was 0.330 ± 0.025; The OD value was 0.620 ± 0.012 on the 4th day, 1.033 ± 0.144 on the 7th day and 1.223 ± 0.133 on the 10th day. There was significant difference among the time points (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The cell patch made of PCL film and DiI labeled BMSCs can survive and proliferate on the surface, so it can be used as a scaffold material for stem cell therapy in vivo.

AIM:

To assess the feasibility and efficiency of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) real-time guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) for sentinel lymph node (SLN) of breast cancer.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This retrospective study reviewed 21 breast cancer patients who scheduled for surgical resection performed CEUS real-time guided SLN-FNA and intraoperative SLN biopsy (SLNB). The success rate of CEUS real-time guided SLN-FNA was analyzed. The FNA diagnostic efficiency of SLN metastasis was analyzed compared to SLNB.

RESULTS:

Twenty-six SLNs were detected by intradermal CEUS whereas 130 SLNs were detected by SLNB. The median SLNs detected by intradermal CEUS ( n = 1) and by SLNB ( n = 5) was significantly difference ( p < 0.001). All 26 CE-SLNs of 21 patients were successfully performed intradermal CEUS dual image real-time guided SLN-FNA including 5 SLNs of 4 patients which were difficult to distinguish in conventional ultrasound. Compared to SLNB, FNA found 2 of 5 cases of SLN metastasis, the diagnosis sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, false negative rate, false positive rate and Yoden index were 40%, 100%, 100%, 84.2%, 60%, 0%and 40%, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

SLN-FNA real-time guided by dual CEUS image mode was technically feasible. Patients with a positive SLN-FNA should be advised to ALND without intraoperative SLNB according to Chinese surgeon and patients’ conservatism attitude. But a negative SLN-FNA did not obviate the need of conventional SLNB because of the high false negative rate.

Stretching from Mississippi to South Carolina, the Floridan Aquifer is the main source of freshwater for southwest Georgia and north Florida. It provides drinking water for approximately 10 million people, supports agriculture and tourism, and sustains the ecosystem. The aquifer’s capacity is large but limited, and meeting the area's water demands will require balancing withdrawals from the aquifer with replenishment from rainfall, a particularly difficult problem in drier times.
