Published: October 2023

Background

Gallbladder diseases (GBDs) are one of the most common surgical diseases. Gallbladder stones (GBSs) are the commonest pathology affecting the gallbladder. Gallbladder cancers (GBCs) are rare though lethal malignancy. GBCs represent a diagnostic and clinical challenge, since its presentation is often nonspecific and its diagnosis commonly occurs at an advanced stage.

Aim

The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of the routine histopathological examination of all cholecystectomy specimens.

Patients and methods

This study was a retrospective analysis, conducted on 1011 patients who underwent cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholecystitis, in KASR AL-AINY Hospital, General Surgery Department between June 2021 and November 2022.

Results

Age of patients ranged from 14 to 79 years, females patients were 857 and male patients were 154. Chronic cholecystitis was the most common GBD, 1006 specimens were benign. One specimen was premalignant; dysplasia, and 4 specimens were malignant; 1 case was focal intraepithelial neoplasia, and 3 cases were adenocarcinomas. There was no statistically significant difference between both sexes. The mean thickness of gallbladder was 0.39 cm. multiple gallbladder stones were found in 619 patients, single stones were found in 249 patients, and no stones were found in 143 patients. The largest stone size was 6.00 cm. Female patients have increased preponderance for the development of all GBDs. Nonneoplastic lesions were more common below fifth decade and neoplastic lesions thereafter.

Conclusion

In this study, the rate of incidental GBCs is very low. All cholecystectomy specimens were routinely sent for histopathology to detect incidental GBC.

Authors: Mostafa Diaa , Higazy Ahmed , Ali Mohamed H. , Elsayaad Mohamed F. , Abuelnaga Mohamed
Published: October 2023

Purpose

To determine the significance of the Delta Q value in discrimination between detrusor underactivity (DU) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in adult male patients.

Methods

A total of 238 patients in this cohort study underwent pressure-flow study. Patients were divided into two groups based on UDS outcomes: DU (n = 121) and BOO (n = 117). From uroflowmetry, 5 variables including maximal flow rate (Qmax), average flow rate (Qave), voiding volume (VV), postvoid residual urine (PVR), and the difference between (Qmax) and (Qave) known as (Delta Q) were obtained. Diagnostic prediction of these variables was evaluated with DU and BOO.

Results

Delta Q was less in the DU group compared with the BOO group 2.9 ml/s and 6.2 ml/s, respectively. Delta Q showed a promising diagnostic value in the discrimination between DU and BOO. A cut-off value of 6.1 ml/s was found to be discriminatory between the two groups with a sensitivity of 96.58% and specificity of 92.79%.

Conclusion

Delta Q value has proven to be a useful noninvasive screening and diagnostic tool in differentiating between DU and BOO in men with obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms.

Authors: Ali Mahmoud , Abusahmen Suzan S. , Khallaf Emad , Attia Mohamed
Published: October 2023

Background

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer and the second leading cause of death among women is breast cancer. The likelihood of survival rises with early breast cancer diagnosis, which lowers death rates. For the treatment of breast cancer, axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) must be correctly staged and managed. The main goals of ALNs staging are to gather prognostic data and information that might influence management decisions.

Objective

To evaluate the accuracy of the preoperative ultrasound in detection of malignant ALNs in breast cancer patients.

Methods

The records of breast cancer patients at the breast surgery unit of Kasr Alainy Hospital, between 2017 and 2020, were reviewed. Patients with an axillary ultrasound report who underwent a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) were enrolled in the present study. Demographic and clinicopathologic characteristics including age, family history, body mass index (BMI), primary tumor size, histological and biological grade, Lymphovascular invasion (LVI), extracapsular invasion (ECE), were evaluated.

Results

Out of the 348 Breast Cancer patients who were managed in our department, the age range was 28–89 years (median age 52 years). The histopathology results of the tumor were 96% with invasive duct carcinoma (IDC) 2.3% invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and 1.7% were mixed ductal/lobular. Cortical thickness greater than 3 mm had a significant difference for positive nodal status, effacement of hilum had a sensitivity 56.2% in detecting positive lymph nodes (LNs), round LNs shape had a sensitivity of 82.3% in detecting true positive LNs. Pathological LNs by ultrasound had a sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 77% in detecting true positive LNS, BMI was not significant in ultrasound detection of pathological LNs.

Conclusion

The data shows that axillary ultrasound by its assessment has revealed to be useful in detection of malignant LNs with a sensitivity of 93.1% and specificity 77% in detecting true malignant LNs.

Authors: Asal Mohamed F. , Elfayoumy Tarek A. , Sabry Sara , Abdullatif Ahmed
Published: October 2023

Background

Patients who are at an elevated risk of developing lateral dog ears deformity following mastectomy, such as those who have high body mass index, or who have too much tissue in the lateral chest wall, and who are not ideal candidates for immediate reconstruction or the Goldilocks mastectomy, should have a lateral dog-ear assessment and should consider the lipodermal flap technique. The purpose of this study was to explain a modification to the mastectomy incision known as the lipodermal flap procedure that avoids this deformity and improve patient satisfaction and quality of life.

Methods

This study included 50 female breast cancer patients who were recommended for a modified radical mastectomy (MRM); they had large cup-size breasts and were expected to develop a dog-ear deformity after the mastectomy.

Results

The type of mastectomy was MRM in 48 patients, and palliative toilet mastectomy in only two patients. The operative time median is about 1.5 h (1.5–1.5), the wound length median is about 20 cm (19–20), and the blood loss median is about 200cc (180–220). Scar discomfort: 45 patients (90%) did not experience scar discomfort, and five patients (10%) felt scar discomfort. Regarding wound dehiscence, 46 patients had no wound dehiscence and four patients (8%) had wound dehiscence and 48 patients (96%) had no flap necrosis and 2 patients (4%) had flap necrosis. Cosmetic result: 4 patients (8%) with wound cosmesis were not accepted and 46 (92%) patients were accepted; 46 (92%) patients were satisfied; 100% of the cases had no dog ear in the lateral part of the mastectomy scar.

Conclusions

The lipodermal flap technique is safe, feasible, and reliable and could be applied during MRM once lateral dog-ear deformity is anticipated with a high satisfaction rate and lower incidence of wound complication.

Authors: Musa-Olomu Abdus-Samiu A. , Musa Titilayo M. , Adeleke Nurudeen A. , Abdulraheem Nurudeen T. , Ajape Abdulwahab A.
Published: October 2023

Background

Surgical repair of giant inguino-scrotal hernia (GIH), based mainly on anatomical considerations and minimal organ resection; without the use of mesh or pneumo-peritoneum.

Patients/method

Over a-15-year period (2005-2019), all patients managed for GIH were reviewed. They had an elevation of the scrotum, and foot of the bed, to allow for the reducible part of the hernia to gradually return and expand the abdominal cavity. Volume estimations of the hernias were done applying Archimedes’ principle followed by a-5-day bowel preparations. Abdomino-inguinal/Inguinal incisions (depending on the size), were made to repair the hernias taking advantage of the special anatomical make-up of the abdominal cavity.

Results

A total of 20 male patients with GIH were treated; 13 were on the right while seven were left-sided. All the GIHs were repaired successfully without any serious morbidity; one patient had a scrotal hematoma that was managed conservatively and another developed a ventral hernia (5 cm long), which was repaired at a later day. An average of 6 months follow-up revealed no recurrence or any other complications.

Conclusion

Surgical techniques in the repair of GIH are many and varied but its rarity has made the adoption of any specific technique(s) impossible. A fairly large series like ours over many years might be a fruitful attempt at solving this problem.

Authors: Abouelnour Moataz T. , Elmahdy Tamer M. , Abdallah Hamdy S. , Elkhadrawy Osama H.
Published: October 2023

Background

Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common condition presenting with acute abdomen requiring emergency surgery. Several clinical scores were developed to diagnose AA.

Aim

This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of three clinical scores (Alvarado score, appendicitis inflammatory response (AIR) score, and adult appendicitis score (AAS)) in the diagnosis of AA.

Methods

This prospective study was conducted on 100 adult patients (aged ≥ 18 years) presenting with acute abdomen suspicious of noncomplicated AA. Patients with complicated AA (abscess, mass, or diffuse peritonitis) and patients with uncomplicated AA subjected to nonoperative management (NOM) were excluded from our study. The histopathological results were used as the gold standard for diagnosis of AA to which the three clinical scores results were compared.

Results

Our study included 100 patients (60 males and 40 females), all of whom, had histopathologically proven AA. Due to this outcome, we could only conclude and compare the sensitivities of the three scores. Alvarado score had the highest overall sensitivity (91% at cut-off value > 4 points), followed by AAS (80% at cut-off value > 10 points), then AIR score (71% at cut-off value > 4 points) however, the difference between Alvarado score and AAS was not statistically significant. In males, the Alvarado score had the highest sensitivity (88.3%), followed by AAS (86.7%), then the AIR score (71.7%) at the same cut-off values however, the difference between the Alvarado score and AAS was also not statistically significant. In females, Alvarado score had the highest sensitivity (95%) followed by AAS and AIR scores (70% for both) with a statistically significant difference. Obesity did not influence the outcome of the three scores.

Conclusions

Alvarado score and AAS are more sensitive than the AIR score. In relation to sex, Alvarado’s score is the most sensitive in females.
Acute surgical abdomen during the COVID-19 pandemic: a retrospective study on clinical and therapeutic challenges
Authors: Erfan Moatasem A. , Alwardany Ibrahim N.
Published: October 2023

Background

As with other medical specialties throughout the epidemic, general surgical clinics’ treatment protocols have changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has become a serious danger to healthcare systems. The presence of severe COVID-19 in young individuals and among medical workers has exacerbated the psychological burden on clinicians treating patients suspected of having or being infected with SARS-CoV-2, even if comorbidities and older age are statistically linked to higher death rates.

Patients and methods

A retrospective comparative study included patients who were admitted to the emergency room (ER), surgical, or managing conservatory for acute surgical abdomen. All subjects were divided into three groups. 1186 patients; out of them, 490 cases were examined before the pandemic, 334 cases were examined during the pandemic, and 362 cases were examined after vaccination.

Results

Before the pandemic, the commonest cause of acute abdomen was appendicitis (21.8%), strangulated hernia (21%), and cholecystectomy (17.8%). During the pandemic, the commonest cause of acute abdomen was appendicitis (21.8%), cholecystectomy (16.8%), and Mesenteric venous occlusion (MVO)/Mesenteric Artial occlusion (MAO) (13.8%). After the pandemic, the commonest causes of acute abdomen were cholecystectomy (25.4%), appendicitis (24.6%), and exploration abdomen (11.9%). The time of management differed significantly among the studied groups. The highest requirement for immediate intervention was attributed to the before pandemic group, while during the pandemic group was associated with conservative management, and after conservative management.

Conclusion

The Sars-Cov-2 pandemic highly affected the clinical presentation, aetiology, diagnostic and paraclinical investigations, and therapeutic management, as well as the changes in emergency practice procedures.
Survival of Tunneled Double Lumen-Cuffed Catheters in Children on Maintenance Hemodialysis – A Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Prakash Richa , Ohri Alpana , Udani Amish , Ali Uma Sankari
Published: October 2023

Introduction:

Survival of tunneled cuffed catheters (TCC), used widely in children, is complicated by infections and catheter dysfunction. In resource limited settings, where risk of complications could be higher and waiting period for transplantation longer, catheter survival determines patient survival. This study was conducted to determine infection free catheter survival rates, incidence of catheter failure and associated risk factors.

Methods:

Children <18 years of age receiving maintenance hemodialysis through TCC at nephrology division of a pediatric hospital, over a period of 6 years.Data was collected with consecutive selection by a complete enumeration technique from pre-collected data sheets in the records. Exposure detected were catheter infections, thrombosis, and mechanical complications.

Results:

Forty-five TCCs in 36 children studied for 12,590 catheter days showed catheter failure in 36%, due to catheter related infections in 75% and mechanical complications in 25%. The incidence of complications per 1000 catheter days was 1.19 infection, 1.03 thrombus, and 0.39 mechanical. Catheter-related blood stream infection (CRBSI) (15/36) was associated with thrombus in nine and led to mortality in three. The mean infection free catheter survival was 449 ± 42 days for cohort with 388 ± 38 days in Group A (premature catheter removal) and 593 ± 43 days in Group B (elective removal) (P= 0.03). Catheterization duration of 267 days predicted CRBSI (sensitivity 93%, specificity 66.7%) with area under the curve of 0.808.

Conclusions:

Median infection free catheter survival was 449 days with catheter failure in 36%. CRBSI was the main cause of failure. Duration of catheterization greater than 267 days was a predictor of CRBSI.

Purpose Preoperative chemoradiation (CRT) is expected to increase the rate of curative resection and complete histological response. In this trial, we investigated the efficacy of a neoadjuvant CRT regimen in gastric adenocarcinoma (NCT01565109 trial).Materials and Methods Patients with stage IB to IIIC gastric adenocarcinoma, endoscopy ultrasound and computed tomography–scan diagnosed, were eligible for this phase II trial. Neoadjuvant treatment consisted of 2 cycles of chemotherapy with DCF (docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil [5FU]) followed by preoperative CRT with oxaliplatin, continuous 5FU and radiotherapy (45 Gy in 25 fractions of 1.8 Gy, 5 fractions per week for 5 weeks) administered before surgery. R0-resection rate, pathological complete response (pathCR) rate, and survival (progression-free survival [PFS] and overall survival [OS]) were evaluated as primary endpoints.Results Among 33 patients included, 32 patients (97%) received CRT and 26 (78.8%) were resected (R0 resection for all patients resected). Among resected patients, we report pathCR in 23,1% and pathologic major response (tumor regression grade 2 according to Mandard’s classification) in 26,9%. With a median follow-up duration of 5.82 years (range, 0.4 to 9.24 years), the estimated median OS for all 33 patients was not reached; 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 85%, 61%, and 52%, respectively. Among resected patients, those whose histological response was tumor grade regression (TRG) 1-2 had significantly better OS and PFS rates than those with a TRG 3-4-5 response (p=0.019 and p=0.016, respectively).Conclusion Promising results from trials involving preoperative chemoradiation followed by surgery in gastric cancer need to be further evaluated in a phase III trial.

Published: October 2023

Purpose The association of physical activity with the risk of bladder cancer remains inconsistent among Asian populations. We aimed to examine the association in a large Japanese cohort.Materials and Methods In a population-based prospective cohort study, a total of 50,374 Japanese adults aged 40-79 years without a history of cancer or cardiovascular disease who had information on physical activity from self-administrated questionnaires were used for analysis. We performed Cox proportional hazard models to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident bladder cancer after adjusting for several potential confounders.Results During the median 17.5 years of follow-up, 153 incident bladder cancers (116 men and 37 women) were identified. After the multivariable adjustment, HRs (95% CI) of bladder cancer concerning those with recreational sports participation of 1-2 hr/wk, 3-4 hr/wk, and 5 hr/wk and more were 0.67 (0.38-1.20), 0.79 (0.36-1.74), and 0.28 (0.09-0.89), respectively (p for trend=0.017). Compared with mostly sitting at the workplace, occupational physical activity of standing and walking were associated with a lower risk of bladder cancer (HR, 0.53 [95% CI, 0.32 to 0.85]). Hours of daily walking were not associated with the risk. The lower risk of bladder cancer was more evident for recreational sports (HR, 0.33 [95% CI, 0.10 to 1.00]), and for occupational standing and walking activity at work (HR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.33 to 0.98]) among men.Conclusion Recreational sports participation and occupational physical activity were inversely associated with the risk of bladder cancer among Japanese, especially in men.
Optimization Problems for PDEs in Weak Space-Time Form
Authors: Harbrecht Helmut , Kunoth Angela , Simoncini Valeria , Urban Karsten
Published: October 2023

Optimization problems constrained by
time-dependent
Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are challenging from a computational point of view: even in the simplest case, one needs to solve a system of PDEs coupled globally in time and space for the unknown solutions (the state, the costate and the control of the system). Typical and practically relevant examples are the control of nonlinear heat equations as they appear in laser hardening or the thermic control of flow problems (Boussinesq equations). Specifically for PDEs with a long time horizon, conventional time-stepping methods require an enormous amount of computer memory allocations for the respective other variables. In contrast, adaptive-in-time-and-space methods aim at distributing the available degrees of freedom in an a-posteriori fashion to capture singularities and are, therefore, most promising. Recently, well-posed weak variational formulations have been introduced for time-dependent PDEs such as the heat equation, linear transport and the wave equation. Those formulations also allow for a sharp relation between the approximation error and the residual, which is particularly relevant for model reduction. Moreover, for those tensor-basis formulations, advanced algebraic solvers designed to take into account these multiarray (tensorial) formulations appear to be particularly competitive with respect to time-marching schemes, especially in higher dimensions. We plan to discuss whether these techniques can be extended to nonlinear PDEs like Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations, or stochastic PDEs and variational inequalities. Another topic will be adaptive schemes which, when properly designed, inherit the stability of the continuous formulation.

The central goals of the workshop are the analysis, fast solvers and model reduction for PDE-constrained control and optimization problems based on weak formulations of the underlying PDE(s).
Determination of the Heat-Controlled Accumulator Volume for the
Two-Phase Thermal Control Systems of Spacecraft
Authors: Hodunov Artem , Gorbenko Gennadiy , Turna Rustem , Koval Polina
Published: October 2023

For spacecraft with high power consumption, it is reasonable to build the thermal
control system based on a two-phase mechanically pumped loop. The
heat-controlled accumulator is a key element of the two-phase mechanically
pumped loop, which allows for the control of pressure in the loop and maintains
the required level of coolant boiling temperature or cavitation margin at the
pump inlet. There can be two critical modes of loop operation where the ability
to control pressure will be lost. The first critical mode occurs when the
accumulator fills with liquid at high heat loads. The second critical mode
occurs when the accumulator is at low heat loads and partial loss of coolant,
for example, due to the leak caused by micrometeorite breakdown. Both modes are
caused by insufficient accumulator volume or working fluid charge. To analyze
the loop characteristics in critical modes, experiments were conducted on a test
bench with ammonia coolant, and a mathematical simulation of a two-phase
mechanically pumped loop was performed. The results show that the loop can
operate in critical modes in a certain range of heat loads. The conducted
studies allow for the design of a heat-controlled accumulator with the minimum
required volume, expand the performance range of a two-phase mechanically pumped
loop, and increase the reliability of its operation in orbit during long-term
missions.

Published: October 2023

In this article, the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and
mechanical behavior of medium-carbon steel wire intended for the spring mattress
is investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatter
diffraction (EBSD), X-ray diffraction, Vickers hardness (Hv), and tensile
strength. The results indicate that the microstructure elongation along the wire
axis is observed with the bending and kinking lamellae at the deformation level
of 57.81%, this change appears as a fracture in the microstructure and leads to
an increase in hardness, tensile strength, and intensities of diffraction
patterns. After heat treatment, we observed a redistribution in the grain, which
is almost the same in the wire rod and drawn wires; indeed, this led to a
decrease in hardness, tensile strength, and augmentation in intensities of
peaks. The EBSD pole figures reveal the development of texture in the cementite
slip plane (001).

Published: October 2023

The features of the distribution of earthquake sources in the territory of Azerbaijan have been studied. It has been identified that the sources of strong earthquakes are confined to zones of concentration of weak seismic shocks, which are inherent in active faults, characterized by a contrast of tectonic movements. This shows that by identifying the zones of concentration of sources of weak seismic shocks, it is possible to determine the source zones of strong earthquakes. The relationship between the length (L) of source zones and observed magnitudes (M) of earthquakes has been studied. The result obtained makes it possible to determine the maximum magnitude in potential source zones of strong earthquakes. One of the main tasks of modern seismology is to determine the source zones of strong earthquakes and their maximum magnitudes in these zones. This is necessary to assess the seismic hazard of the territories.

Актуальность работы: Одной из основных задач современной сейсмологии является определение очаговых зон сильных землетрясений и их максимальных магнитуд в этих зонах. Это необходимо для оценки сейсмической опасности территорий. Цель исследования: Изучить особенности распределения очагов землетрясений на территории Азербайджана. Результаты исследования: Установлено, что очаги сильных землетрясений приурочены к зонам концентрации слабых сейсмических толчков, присущим активным разломам, характеризующимся контрастностью тектонических движений. Это показывает, что путем выявления зон концентрации источников слабых сейсмических толчков можно определить очаговые зоны сильных землетрясений. Методы исследования: Использование связи между длиной (L) очаговых зон и наблюдаемыми магнитудами (M) землетрясений. Полученный результат позволяет определить максимальную магнитуду в зонах потенциальных очагов сильных землетрясений.

Published: October 2023

This research aims to investigate the relationship between digital transformation, dynamic digital entrepreneur capabilities, competitive advantage, and business performance in small and medium enterprises (IKM). The first hypothesis (H1) proposes that digital transformation has a positive effect on competitive advantage, referring to Porter's (2001) view on the role of the internet in creating competitive advantage through partnerships and business digitalization. The second hypothesis (H2) states that digital transformation influences dynamic digipreneur capabilities through increasing knowledge sharing and digital capabilities. The third (H3) and fourth (H4) hypotheses claim that entrepreneurial-oriented dynamic digital entrepreneur capabilities have a positive impact on the competitive advantage and business performance of SMEs. The fifth hypothesis (H5) confirms that competitive advantage contributes to improving SME business performance through increasing market share, profits, efficiency, reputation and marketing effectiveness. Next, the sixth (H6) and seventh (H7) hypotheses try to explore the role of mediation, with H6 proposing that dynamic digipreneur capabilities can mediate the relationship between digital transformation and competitive advantage, and H7 claiming that competitive advantage can mediate the relationship between digital transformation and SME business performance . Finally, the eighth (H8) and ninth (H9) hypotheses suggest a dual mediating role, with H8 proposing that competitive advantage can act as a mediator between dynamic digipreneur capabilities and SMI business performance, while H9 proposes that digital transformation can influence SMI business performance through digipreneur capabilities dynamic and competitive advantage as a mediator.

Materials and methods. The analysis of ethno-cultural identity was based on the opportunity for each individual to choose belonging to one or another culture or to several at the same time. This approach in the Russian science was put forward by V.A. Tishkov and supported by many domestic researchers. At the same time, some of them do not consider the principle of multiculturalism to be real. The material was obtained during a survey involving over 500 students studying at three Cheboksary universities. The processing was carried out using the SPSS Statistics program. Unconditional and conditional distributions were calculated, which made it possible to identify noticeable interdependencies between the components of the ethno-cultural image.

Study results. The ethnic composition of the students who participated in the survey was not limited to individual nationalities. Almost a fifth of respondents declared themselves as belonging to two ethnic cultures, in the conditions of Chuvashia it was about simultaneously classifying themselves as the Russians and the Chuvash. A complex linguistic identity was even more pronounced, when over a third of the respondents replied that not one, but two languages, namely Russian and Chuvash, are native to them. The survey materials once again confirmed that the situation with the use of the Chuvash language, including by the Chuvash, is quite complicated, especially for non-domestic communication.

Conclusions. The data of the next survey of Chuvashia students once again confirmed that for many of them the choice of a complex ethnic and linguistic identity is becoming common. Preserving the Chuvash language to a greater extent should be carried out through family traditions supported by public and state structures.
