Aims:

The current study aimed at comparing arm and forearm double tourniquet in terms of the onset and duration of analgesia, tourniquet pain, and the return of sensation and movement in distal upper extremity surgery.

Methods:

This double-blind clinical trial was performed on 70 patients who were candidates for distal upper extremity orthopedic surgeries. The patients were randomized into two groups of arm and forearm double tourniquet. The onset time and duration of sensory and motor blocks were recorded. The pain level was recorded by visual Analog Scale (VAS) after inflating the tourniquet every 15 min till the end of operation at 15, 30, and 45 min as well as every 30 min for 2 h (at 30, 60, 90, and 120 min.) and at 6, 12, and 24 h after deflating the tourniquet. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data.

Results:

During 8–24 h after the surgery, the pain in arm double- tourniquet group was less than that in the other group (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the time to onset of sensory–motor block between the two groups (P > 0.05). The duration of sensory block in arm double tourniquet was longer than that in forearm double tourniquet group (P = 0.002). In addition, the duration of motor block in arm double tourniquet was also longer than that in forearm double tourniquet group (P = 0.001). The pain level was equal in both the groups at all times except for the time interval of 8–24 h after the operation in arm double tourniquet group. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the pain level, and the time to onset of sensory–motor block was the same in both the groups as well. However, the duration of sensory–motor block was longer in the arm double tourniquet group, while no complication was found in either group.

Conclusion:

Both the techniques are applicable in hand and distal upper extremity surgeries provided that the surgical duration is not too long. Using forearm double tourniquet technique is preferable to arm double tourniquet, but the surgical duration should not exceed 60 min. That is because less amount of anesthetic drugs is needed in forearm double tourniquet technique, hence leading to a decrease in the potential side effects.
Prophylactic interventional radiological procedures in postpartum hemorrhage
Authors: Choudhary Savita , Gupta Sunanda
Published: August 2023

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of preventable maternal mortality and morbidity. Women undergoing cesarean delivery are at increased risk of PPH as compared to vaginal delivery. Improvement in obstetric care and advances in diagnostic modalities have empowered obstetricians to detect, predict, and therefore prevent catastrophic uterine bleeding. Patients at increased risk for PPH should be referred to tertiary care centers equipped with interventional radiology suite, where multidisciplinary teams are available 24 h and are prepared to deal with potential complications. This review highlights the management of PPH with special emphasis on interventional radiology procedures for the prevention of PPH. Minimally invasive interventional radiological techniques such as selective arterial embolization and arterial balloon occlusion have been effectively used to avert hysterectomy and reduce the overall incidence of blood transfusion and its associated complications while preserving reproductive functions.
Effect of low dose ketamine on perioperative analgesia in patients undergoing open abdominal hysterectomy - A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial
Authors: Mariappan Ramamani , Cherian Verghese T. , Joy Melvin , Selvaraj K. G.
Published: August 2023

Background:

Low-dose ketamine can provide effective perioperative analgesia while reducing its side effects. This study aims to estimate the effect of a low dose of ketamine administered preemptively and during the surgery on postoperative opioid requirement and the incidence of side effects of ketamine.

Methods:

This prospective, double-blind, randomized control trial enrolled 60 adult women (>18 years) scheduled for open abdominal hysterectomy. All patients received general anesthesia using a standard protocol. Patients were randomized to receive 0.2 mg/kg of ketamine as bolus before induction of anesthesia, followed by an infusion of 0.002 mg/kg/min for the duration of surgery (Group K) or an equivalent volume of 0.9% saline (Group C). The primary outcome was to compare the morphine requirement over the 24 h postoperatively between the two groups. The secondary outcomes were to compare the intraoperative morphine requirement, and the incidence of side effects of ketamine.

Results:

The intraoperative morphine requirement was significantly less (P = 0.006) in those who received ketamine (6.5 ± 1.5 mg) compared to the placebo (7.67 ± 1.7 mg). The 24-hour morphine requirement was less in the Group K (7.87 ± 4.7 mg) compared to Group C (9.2 ± 4.5 mg), but was not statistically significant. The incidence of hallucination and nystagmus was significantly higher in the ketamine group, but it lasted <2 h.

Conclusion:

The preemptive and the intraoperative infusion of low-dose ketamine decreases the morphine requirement intraoperatively but not during the postoperative period.

Authors: Tiwari Prashant , Bhatia Rohan , Asthana Veena , Maheshwari Rajesh
Published: August 2023

Background and Aims

: Our aim was to assess the postoperative analgesia after ultrasound-guided transmuscular “Quadratus lumborum block” (QLB) and lumbar “Erector spinae plane block” (ESPB) in hip surgeries postoperatively.

Design:

Double-blinded, randomized prospective study.

Materials and Methods:

Sixty-three patients who underwent hip surgeries were divided into three groups, with 21 patients each. Each group was given spinal anesthesia using 30 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine. After the completion of the surgery, Group I patients were given ipsilateral transmuscular QLB and Group II patients were given ipsilateral lumbar ESPB. No block was given in Group III. In the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), pain was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scoring. The time of first analgesic requirement and the total postoperatively tramadol consumption in first 24 h was recorded.

Results:

No significant difference was seen between the three groups pertaining to patient's demographic data, type, and duration of surgery. Statistically significant lower NRS scores were present in QLB group and ESPB group than the control group in the first 24 h (P< 0.001). The total tramadol consumption was significantly more in the control group (346.67 ± 71.37) mg than QLB group (159.05 ± 39.74) mg and ESPB group (190.48 ± 33.83) mg withP< 0.001. Time duration of first analgesic requirement in PACU was 344.05 min, 267.86 min, and 105.24 min for QLB, ESPB, and control group, respectively.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, both QLB and ESPB provide good postoperative pain control in hip surgeries with QLB providing a better analgesic profile when compared to ESPB.

Authors: Selima Zeinab M.A. , Khallaf Hamdy A. , El-Saadany Hanan M. , Rehan Fahema S.
Published: August 2023

Background

The most common injuries in athletes are anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears and are associated with a nontouch pivoting harm mechanism in a deceleration maneuver. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a low-cost, simple, and minimally invasive therapy that can provide a concentration of natural blood growth factors. The use of PRP has been validated to be beneficial in enhancing ligament healing, mainly ACL in vitro, in animals, and in humans.

Aim

The goal of the work was to study the effect of ultrasound (US)-guided injection of PRP in the treatment of partial ACL injury.

Patients and methods

This study included 30 patients with partial ACL injuries selected from the outpatient medical institution of Physical Medicine, Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Department, Tanta University Hospitals. All patients underwent detailed history taking, clinical examination, and MRI examination. Visual analog score, Lachman test, Tegner Activity Scale, and knee outcome survey were performed before and after injection. Patients were injected with 5 ml of PRP two times 1 week apart under US guidance.

Results

There were significant differences between visual analog score before injection and 1 week after second injection and after 6 months of follow-up. There was insignificant improvement of the Lachman test 6 months after injection. There were significant improvements of Tegner Activity Scale, knee outcome survey of Activities of Daily Living Scale, and Cincinnati Sports Activity Scale after injection.

Conclusion

Although US-guided PRP injection failed to show any structural improvement in partial ACL injury, it showed improvement of pain and functional activity.

Authors: Khedr Nada M.I. , Gaber Rasha A. , Shafik Noha M. , El-Ashwah Nadia E.-H.
Published: August 2023

Background

Oxidative stress, mitochondrial stress, and autophagy are profoundly implicated in β-cell dysfunction and in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Aim

The study was designed to explore the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress on one hand and their correlation to severity of diabetic nephropathy on the other hand.

Material and methods

This study was conducted on 40 male albino rats approximately weighing 100–150 g, which were randomly divided into two equal groups (20 rats each).

Results

The results revealed an increase in the body weight and in the plasma levels of glucose, urea, and creatinine in the diabetic nephropathy group I compared with the control group II. Moreover, there was a significant increase in the level of dynamin-related protein 1 and in 24-h urinary microalbumin excretion in the diabetic nephropathy group compared with the control group. On the contrary, a significant decrease in the levels of optic protein atrophy 1 and reduced glutathione levels was found in the diabetic nephropathy group compared with the control group.

Conclusion

The study has proved that mitochondrial dysfunction is closely related to diabetic nephropathy that is expressed in decreased optic protein atrophy 1 level and increased dynamin-related protein 1 level on one side, and also related to hyperglycemic oxidative stress evidenced by decreased glutathione level on the other side, and their correlation to the severity of diabetic nephropathy.

Published: August 2023

Background:

Anorectal fistulas are frequently prevalent proctological entities, in which the complexity is frequently garbled. Objective: To create a scale of complexity for fistulas based on identification, medical history, physical examination, and ultrasonography findings.

Design:

A retrospective and descriptive study of a prospectively maintained database. Setting: A single medical group performed three-dimensional endoanal ultrasonography at two different tertiary care hospitals in Caracas, Venezuela.

Patients and Methods:

All patients who underwent anorectal three-dimensional endoanal ultrasonography at the two hospitals between 2010 and 2017 were included in the study. We created an arbitrary numerical scoring system ranging from 0 to 14 points, which classifies the structure of fistulas as simple, intermediate, and complex. The chi-squared test performed with Statistical Program of Social Sciences was used to establish the significance level of P < 0.005. Sample Size: a total of 1173 patients were evaluated, and perianal fistulas were identified in 989 patients.

Results:

Of the 232 intersphincteric fistulas, 75.86% were simple, 22.41% were intermediate, and 1.72% were complex. Of the 295 lower transsphincteric fistulas, 51.19% were simple, 42.71% were intermediate, and 6.10% were complex. Of the 327 high transsphincteric fistulas, 17.74% were simple, 59.94% were intermediate, and 22.32% were complex. Of the 48 extrasphincteric fistulas, 66.67% were intermediate and 33.33% were complex. Finally, of the 18 suprasphincteric fistulas, 50% were intermediate and 50% were complex.

Conclusions:

The complexity of fistulas may not be easy to determine, even in cases requiring further complementary studies. The application of our scale helped to prevent the factors that may be responsible for the deterioration of the complexity of fistulas, with a statistically significant difference compared to the classic Goodsall's classification, based exclusively on the anatomy of the fistula tract.

Limitations:

A single operative group study without surgical usefulness validation that warrants a further multicentric randomized study.

Does Fellowship Matter? A Comparison of Overall Survival and Lymph Node Sampling in Colon Cancer Resections amongst Colorectal Fellowship Trained Surgeons vs. Non-Colorectal Specialty Trained Surgeons
Authors: Pahlkotter Maranda K. , Snyder John , Gygi Jesse , Sause William T. , Kim H. Tae
Published: August 2023

Background:

Approximately 1 in 23 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer, resulting in nearly 50,000 cancer related deaths per year in the United States. An effective surgical resection plays an integral role in the success or failure of these patients' oncologic treatment.

Objective:

This study was designed to focus on lymph node sampling and survival of patients undergoing resections for colon cancer to determine if additional training leads to better outcomes.

Design:

This is a retrospective review from 2006–2017. Patients who presented through the emergency room were considered elective if their surgery was performed >72 hours after admission. One-hundred and thirty-five surgeons were included, and 13 were colorectal trained. We excluded patients with metachronous or synchronous tumors. Analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon rank sum test.

Settings:

Twenty-three hospitals within a single healthcare system.

Patients:

Final analysis included patients undergoing a primary, elective resection for colon cancer.

Sample Size:

We focused at 2335 patients.

Main Outcome Measure:

Survival after resection and number of lymph nodes sampled.

Results:

Among the patients, 2657 met the inclusion criteria, with only 322 resections being considered nonelective. In the elective population of 2335 patients, 536 underwent resection by a colorectal specialty trained surgeon. The survival probability was greater for patients who underwent resection by colorectal surgeons than those for patients who underwent resection by non-colorectal surgeons (p = 9e-05). Lymph node sampling in elective resections by colorectal surgeons was significantly higher (p = < 2e-16), with the mean being 23.8 vs 19.1, respectively.

Conclusion:

Colorectal trained surgeons have significantly better outcomes than non-specialty trained surgeons considering the overall survival rates and number of lymph nodes sampled for elective resections.

Limitations:

There was insufficient evidence to conclude that any difference existed in the outcomes when considering the non-elective patient population given the low numbers of these resections being performed by colorectal surgeons.

Derivatives of Beilinson–Flach classes, Gross–Stark formulas and a $p$-adic Harris–Venkatesh conjecture
Authors: Rivero Óscar
Published: August 2023

We propose an alternative approach to the study of exceptional zeros from the point of view of Euler systems. As a first application, we give a new proof of a conjecture of Darmon, Lauder and Rotger regarding the computation of the

\mathcal{L}

-invariant of the adjoint of a weight one modular form in terms of units and

p

-units. While in our previous work with Rotger the essential ingredient was the use of Galois deformations techniques, we discuss a new method exclusively using the properties of Beilinson–Flach classes. One of the
key ingredients is the computation of a cyclotomic derivative of a cohomology class in the framework of Perrin-Riou theory, which can be seen as
a counterpart to the earlier work of Loeffler, Venjakob, and Zerbes. In our second application, we illustrate how these techniques could lead to a
better understanding of this setting by introducing a new motivic

p

-adic

L

-function whose special values encode information just about the unit
of the adjoint (and not also the

p

-unit), in the spirit of the conjectures of Harris and Venkatesh. We further discuss conjectural connections with
the arithmetic of triple products of Coleman families.
Locally free twisted sheaves of infinite rank
Authors: de Jong Aise Johan , Lieblich Max , Shin Minseon
Published: August 2023

We study twisted vector bundles of infinite rank on gerbes, giving a new point of view
on Grothendieck’s famous problem on the equality of the Brauer group and cohomological Brauer
group. We show that the relaxed version of the question has an affirmative answer in many, but not
all, cases, including for any algebraic space with the resolution property and any algebraic space
obtained by pinching two closed subschemes of a projective scheme.We also discuss some possible
theories of infinite rank Azumaya algebras, consider a new class of “very positive” infinite rank
vector bundles on projective varieties, and show that an infinite rank vector bundle on a curve in a
surface can be lifted to the surface away from finitely many points.
Slopes of $F$-isocrystals over abelian varieties
Authors: D’Addezio Marco
Published: August 2023

We prove that an

-isocrystal over an abelian variety defined over a perfect field of positive
characteristic has constant slopes. This recovers and extends a theorem of Tsuzuki for abelian
varieties over finite fields. Our proof exploits the theory of monodromy groups of convergent isocrystals.
Hochschild cohomology of generalised Grassmannians
Authors: Belmans Pieter , Smirnov Maxim
Published: August 2023

We compute the Hochschild–Kostant–Rosenberg decomposition of the Hochschild cohomology
of generalised Grassmannians, i.e., partial flag varieties associated to maximal parabolic
subgroups in a simple algebraic group, in terms of representation-theoretic data.We explain how the
decomposition is concentrated in global sections for the (co)minuscule and (co)adjoint generalised
Grassmannians, and conjecture that for (almost) all other cases the same vanishing of the higher
cohomology does not hold. Our methods give an explicit partial description of the Gerstenhaber
algebra structure for the Hochschild cohomology of cominuscule and adjoint generalised Grassmannians.
We also consider the case of adjoint partial flag varieties in type A, which are associated
to certain submaximal parabolic subgroups.
Negative amphichiral knots and the half-Conway polynomial
Authors: Boyle Keegan , Chen Wenzhao
Published: August 2023

In 1979, Hartley and Kawauchi proved that the Conway polynomial of a strongly negative amphichiral knot factors as

f(z)f(-z)

. In this paper, we normalize the factor

f(z)

to define the
half-Conway
polynomial. First, we prove that the half-Conway polynomial satisfies an equivariant skein relation, giving the first feasible computational method, which we use to compute the half-Conway polynomial for knots with 12 or fewer crossings. This skein relation also leads to a diagrammatic interpretation of the degree-one coefficient, from which we obtain a lower bound on the equivariant unknotting number. Second, we completely characterize polynomials arising as half-Conway polynomials of knots in

S^3

, answering a problem of Hartley–Kawauchi. As a special case, we construct the first examples of non-slice strongly negative amphichiral knots with determinant one, answering a question of Manolescu. The double branched covers of these knots provide potentially non-trivial torsion elements in the homology cobordism group.

Published: August 2023

Objectives:This study aims to contribute to establishing the regional effective management of fine particulate matter by evaluating the chemical characteristics and contribution of fine particulate matter, and the accuracy of predictive model of fine particulate matter through the measurement of water-soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs) and electrical conductivity for fine particulate matter generated in Pohang.Methods:PM10 and PM2.5 samples were simultaneously collected using a low volume air sampler from April to November 2022. For sample analysis, cations of Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, NH4+, Na+ and anions of Cl-, NO3-, SO42-, and electrical conductivity were measured after pretreatment by ultrasonic extraction. Results and Discussion:The average concentrations of WSIIs for PM10 and PM2.5 in Pohang were 12.1μg/m3 and 8.5μg/m3, respectively, accounting for 35.5% and 50.0% of each fine particulate matter. The sum of NH4+, NO3-, SO42- concentration was found to account for the majority of 71% and 78% of WSIIs in PM10 and PM2.5, respectively. The PM2.5/PM10 ratios for NH4+, K+, and SO42- were 95%, 89%, and 81%, respectively, mostly present in PM2.5. The average ratio of PM2.5/PM10 for NO3- was 54%, but it rose sharply to 79% in November when the temperature was low, indicating an increase in contribution to the generation of PM2.5 in winter. During the sampling period excluding April and July, the ion balance for cations and anions was relatively good at a 1:1 ratio and showed chemical properties of fine particulate matter close to neutral. A regression model was evaluated for the measured electrical conductivity of WSIIs and the concentration of fine particulate matter. The MAE and RMSE values for PM2.5 were 1.8μg/m3 and 2.4μg/m3, respectively, which were lower than PM10 (MAE 7.5 μg/m3, RMSE 10.3μg/m3), indicating high precision and accuracy. Conclusion:This study confirmed the origin of fine particulate matter generated in Pohang through WSIIs analysis, and suggested that the measured electrical conductivity of WSIIs could be used as a key parameter for measuring the concentration of fine particulate matter.

Adrenaline games are often found in amusement parks, because adrenaline games are one of the keys to attracting people's attention. Indonesia has many entertainment venues spread across various regions. One example of an amusement park in Indonesia is Batu Night Spectacular (BNS). BNS is one of the tourist sites in the city of Malang, East Java, to be precise in the city of Batu. This study aims to analyze the concept of physics in adrenaline games at BNS. The games that will be analyzed are Mega Disco, Crazy Bike, Drop N'Twist, and Gravitron. This research is a qualitative descriptive research using literature review and observation methods. Based on the literature review and observations that have been made, it was found that in the Mega Disco game there is a physics concept of oscillatory motion and rotational motion. Rotational motion is shown by repeated movements to the right and left, while rotational motion is shown in the rotation experienced by visitors' seats. In the Crazy Bike game there is a simple pendulum physics concept and circular motion. A simple pendulum is shown in a swinging motion with a connecting arm, while circular motion is shown in a crazy bicycle swinging 360 ⁰ . In the Drop N'Twist game, there are concepts that are free fall and vertical upward motion. The Gravitron game has the main concept of three forces that occur, namely gravity , frictional force , and normal force . Gravity is influenced by gravity on a band, and frictional force opposes the motion of gravity so that visitors don't fall down . normal motion is towards the center to maintain the visitor's position while the gravitron rotates.

Published: August 2023

The implementation of Physics learning must be contextual where during the learning process it is made by exploring the knowledge possessed and associated with its application in real life in the community environment of students. In learning physics students are required to be able to understand concepts, theories, principles, laws, and models and it is expected that through scientific processes they are able to have skills in developing knowledge during the learning process carried out. However, there are still many students who do not understand the linkages of contextual learning and only focus on understanding concepts according to the specified textbooks. The purpose of this research is to increase students' learning motivation by analyzing the relationship between physics concepts and the bom bom car game at Wisata Bahari Lamongan. The research method used is descriptive-qualitative. Through observation, interviews, literature review and documentation is done as a data collection technique. It can be concluded that the bom–bom car game at Lamongan Marine Tourism has a connection with the concept of physics, namely the concept of Newton's Third Law, momentum, impulse, and collision.

Nationalism in the Second Redaction of the Verse Chronicle by the So-Called Dalimil
Authors: Bažant Vojtěch
Published: August 2023

The paper examines literary aspects of the old Czech chronicle in verses by the so-called Dalimil. It inquires into various approaches to the chronicle by both medieval and (early) modern readers. The paper argues that medieval authors read and interpreted the chronicle from diverse perspectives and emphasized different dimensions of the narrative. The second redaction of the chronicle from the second third of the fifteenth century, known for stressing the chauvinistic nationalism of the text, was one possible way of reading the chronicle. Postmedieval editors and interpreters of the chronicle saw it, on the contrary, almost exclusively as a product of medieval anti-Germanism in Bohemia. While contemporary research considers the chronicle primarily as a political manifest, the paper develops the inquiry, approaching the chronicle and medieval historiography in general as multi-layered literature combining religious, identity-centred, political, and imaginative aspects of history writing.

So, the purpose of this legal scientific research article is to analyze whether the urgency of storing Notary Protocols electronically in the perspective of e-notary and how the legal certainty of storing Notary Protocols electronically in Notary Law. The legal scientific research article method used is a general method, namely the normative legal scientific research article method. So that the results of this legal scientific research articles are first, there is no certainty about how to maintain and store the Notary Protocol to be prone to damage, loss and destruction when stored conventionally, even though in terms of urgency, electronic storage of Notary Protocols is very important to make it easier for Notaries, both in terms of economics and law. Second, the implementation of ENotary cannot be implemented because there is no legal certainty in the form of laws and regulations that specifically regulate services by Notaries in electronic form.
