Ethmoid Sinus Mucocele Penetrating the Anterior Skull Base: A Case Report
Authors: Kang Byung Jae , Kim Min Suk , Nam Kukjin , Seo Min Young
Published: August 2024

Sinus mucoceles are nonmalignant cystic tumors lined by non-neoplastic epithelium, typically involving the frontal and ethmoid sinuses. Although it is common for these mucoceles to cause destruction of surrounding bone tissue due to their growth, cerebrospinal fluid leaks resulting from skull base penetration by an ethmoid sinus mucocele have rarely been reported. A 24-year-old male patient presented with right proptosis and right periorbital pain, who underwent bilateral endoscopic sinus surgery 12 years ago. Endoscopic sinus surgery was performed to treat the right ethmoid sinus mucocele, and confirmed the presence of a basal skull defect during surgery. We reconstructed the skull base defect using septal cartialge and free mucosal graft. The symptoms were completely resolved after surgery and no cerebrospinal fluid leakage was noted during follow up period. This case report highlights a rare instance of direct mucocele extension to the skull base.

Published: August 2024

While primarily observed in adults, this case contributes valuable insights into the manifestation and management of this benign salivary gland tumor within the pediatric population. This paper reports the first documented case of sinonasal pleomorphic adenoma in pediatric otolaryngology, presenting a unique perspective on this rare nasal tumor in a 9-year-old boy. The patient presented with progressive nasal obstruction and epistaxis and underwent a smooth endoscopic resection of a 2-cm pleomorphic adenoma on the right anterior nasal septum. The subsequent discussion covered background, histology, imaging, and management strategies. Surgical removal with clear margins, particularly through the endoscopic approach, emerged as the primary and successful treatment method, minimizing morbidity and reducing recurrence risk. Long-term clinical surveillance is recommended due to an estimated 8.8% recurrence rate. In conclusion, this paper explains the challenges and solutions in diagnosing and treating sinonasal pleomorphic adenomas in children. It emphasizes the critical importance of early diagnosis, precise surgical intervention, and continuous monitoring, which are essential for achieving optimal patient outcomes.
Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Authors: Choi Taewoong , Ryu Simyoung , Bae Jun-Sang , Yoo Shin Hyuk , Mo Ji-Hun
Published: August 2024

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by prolonged inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa lasting over 12 weeks. CRS is divided into two main types based on the presence of nasal polyps: CRS without nasal polyps and CRS with nasal polyps. The condition is further classified into endotypes based on type 1, type 2, and type 3 inflammatory signatures, with differences in terms of disease severity, prognosis, and treatment response. Recent studies have emphasized the importance of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in CRS progression. In CRS, the EMT can be triggered by infections, allergens, hypoxia, and environmental pollutants. Specifically, EMT induction proceeds through the following mechanisms: viral and bacterial infections disrupt the epithelial barrier, house dust mites and other allergens activate the TGF-β and EGFR signaling pathways, hypoxia increases HIF-1α and other mesenchymal markers, and diesel exhaust particles and particulate matter cause oxidative stress. Maintaining the integrity of the epithelial barrier is essential for nasal mucosa homeostasis. In CRS, barrier damage activates repair processes that trigger the EMT, resulting in barrier dysfunction and tissue remodeling. Epithelial barrier dysfunction allows antigens and pathogens to penetrate, perpetuating inflammation and promoting the EMT. This disruption is a hallmark of CRS, emphasizing the importance of barrier integrity in the development of the disease. Key signaling pathways regulating the EMT in CRS include TGF-β, Wnt, HMGB1, AGE/ERK, TNF-α, and various miRNAs. These signaling pathways connect to various downstream pathways, such as the Smad2/3, GSK-3β/β-catenin, RAGE, and NF-κB pathways. This review focuses on the complex mechanisms of the EMT in CRS, emphasizing the role of epithelial barrier dysfunction and subsequent EMT processes in driving the disease’s development and progression. A deeper understanding of these EMT-driven mechanisms will help identify the potential therapeutic targets aimed at restoring epithelial integrity and reversing the EMT.

A nemzetiség szerepe a játékosértékelésben: számít-e egy labdarúgó nemzetisége a piaci értéke szempontjából?
Authors: Hajdú Márk , Petróczy Dóra Gréta
Published: August 2024

A játékosértékelés, azaz a játékosok piaci értékének meghatározása folyamatosan fejlődik a labdarúgásban, a továbbra is növekvő pénzügyi lehetőségeknek, az elérhető adatok bővülésének és az egyre kifinomultabb módszerek eredményeinek köszönhetően. Elterjedt narratíva a labdarúgást figyelemmel kísérők körében, hogy bizonyos nemzetiségű játékosok túl- vagy alulértékeltek a hozzájuk hasonló, de más nemzetiségű játékosokhoz képest. A nemzetiség és a piaci érték közötti kapcsolat továbbra sem egyértelmű a szakirodalom eddigi eredményei alapján. Ezt a kapcsolatot próbáljuk bizonyítani empirikus módon, továbbá azt is megvizsgáljuk, hogy valóban nem jelenik-e meg a nemzetiség dimenziója a Transfermarkt piaci értékbecsléseiben. A tanulmányunk során leíró statisztikákat és többváltozós regressziót alkalmazunk a 2022/2023-as szezon adatain. Az elemzésbe az 5 európai topligában pályára lépő, támadó felfogású pozíciókban szereplő játékosok kerültek be. Szembetűnő különbségek vannak a játékosok piaci értékének helyzeti középértékei között nemzetiségek vagy kontinensek szerinti bontásban. A regresszió során viszont nem találtunk szignifikáns kapcsolatot a nemzetiség és a piaci érték között, továbbá eredményeinkkel nem bizonyítható, hogy figyelembe vennék a játékosok nemzetiségét a Transfermarktnál a piaci értékek meghatározásánál.
Gender Role Attitudes and Advice Taking : Aspects of Narcissism, Professional Contexts and Personal Situations
Authors:   , Stöcker Anna-Katharina
Published: August 2024

The current dissertation sheds light on aspects of narcissism within different professional contexts and personal situations, and in relation to gender role attitudes and advice taking. In the first chapter, the core concepts of narcissism, gender role attitudes and advice taking are defined and brought together with different professional contexts, e.g., managerial vs. non-managerial positions or STEM vs. non-STEM fields, and different personal situations, e.g., having a daughter or having only sons or no children. The outline of the dissertation is then presented. In the second chapter, the manuscript “Don’t Tell Me What To Do! Narcissism and Advice Taking: A Meta-Analysis and Future Research Directions” is presented. We conducted a meta-analysis by integrating contradictory published and unpublished research and investigated whether narcissists are less likely to take advice than others, and further, if this is independent of the expertise of the possible advice giver. With different meta-analytic models, we found a small and stable negative correlation between narcissism and advice taking, but we did not find significant moderators. We then discussed theoretical and practical implications. In the third chapter, the manuscript “Managers’ Traditional Gender Role Attitudes: Diverging Relations with Admiration and Rivalry and the Daughter Effect” is presented. In this manuscript, the relationships between different dimensions of narcissism (i.e., admiration and rivalry) and gender role attitudes is examined in the professional context of management. The personal situation of having a daughter or only having sons or no children is also examined as both a main effect and as a moderator. As expected, admiration was negatively, and rivalry positively, related to traditional gender role attitudes. Partial support for the daughter effect was found. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. In the fourth chapter, the manuscript “Traditional Gender Role Attitudes in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM): Are STEM Managers More Modern Than Others?” is presented. In this manuscript, the presence of traditional gender role attitudes is examined in different professional contexts, i.e., in STEM vs. non-STEM fields. We also examined this in an exploratory manner in management vs. non-management positions. Overall, the results show that gender role attitudes are more traditional in men, older, non-managerial and non-STEM employees. Additionally, a gender gap was found. Implications are discussed. In the fifth chapter, theoretical and practical implications are discussed and future research fields are outlined.

Published: August 2024

Background: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules can be effectively visualized when stained and observed under ultraviolet light during the electrophoresis process. The commonly used dye Ethidium bromide (EtBr) is considered hazardous due to its potential to cause mutations, cancer, and congenital disabilities. Various alternative dyes have been reported, one of which is hematoxylin. Hematoxylin compounds do not have mutagenic potential and are easier to apply than EtBr. However, there is no optimal variation in concentration and duration of staining for clear and effective visualization of DNA bands. Purpose: To find the concentration and staining time of harris hematoxylin staining for DNA bands from agarose gel electrophoresis. Method: An experimental method with a group comparison statistical design. The amplified DNA I6S rRNA gene from Escherichia coli (584 bp), which had undergone electrophoresis, was stained using harris hematoxylin dye at 0.01%; 0.02%; 0.03%; 0.04%; and 0.05% concentrations and immersion times soaking times of 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes variations. The intensity of the DNA bands was analyzed using ImageJ. The staining power of the experimental groups was compared to the intensity of control dye and given a grading score of 1 - 4. The experiment was repeated twice, and the mean grading score was calculated. The highest mean value was considered the most optimal value. Result: A concentration of 0.02% showed relatively constant staining intensity for each soaking time. A mean value of 3.5 was obtained for a 0.01% concentration for 15 minutes. A 0.03% and 0.04% concentrations for 20 minutes. Conclusion: The highest mean value of 4 was obtained for Harris hematoxylin at 0.05% for 15 minutes.

INHIBITION OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) BIOFILM: THE ESSENTIAL ROLE AND POTENTIAL USAGE OF BACTERIOCINS
Authors: Febrianti Tati , Conny Riana Tjampakasari
Published: August 2024

Background: The potential of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to develop biofilms and its resistance to antibiotics become major worldwide issue. Complementary anti-microbial strategies have been used recently, in particular for the treatment of MRSA biofilm-associated resistance. Purpose: To review the potential, essential role, and mechanism of bacteriocin that can inhibit MRSA biofilms. The review was conducted by searching and analyzing published articles from Elsevier, ProQuest and PubMed database. Review: Globally, the incidence of MRSA in 85 countries based on WHO surveillance reaches more than 20%. Biofilm, as one of the virulence factors of MRSA, can result in the failure of antibiotic therapy. According to reports, bacteriocins, such as peptides synthesized by Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, have antimicrobial activity that has the potential to inhibit antibiotic-resistant pathogens and biofilms formed by MRSA. Result: The bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity of bacteriocins against MRSA has been shown through research across several countries on the usage of bacteriocins, which was isolated from different types of bacteria against MRSA biofilms. Bacteriocins contribute to the inhibition of MRSA biofilms by inhibiting the synthesis of cell walls, leading to pores in the cytoplasmic membranes of bacterial cells, interrupting the synthesis of extracellular membranes, disrupting cell membranes, and reducing the number of planktonic cells within MRSA biofilms. Conclusion: Bacteriocins have an effective mechanism for treating MRSA biofilms with low toxicity and risk of resistance, hence they are safe to be developed as complementary components to antibiotics in an effort to treat MRSA biofilms.

On a global scale, health care providers and facilities are observed to be increasingly exposed to dangers amidst political instability, siege, war. Public health is indisputably at the forefront of saving lives during military operations. In the current climate of global adversity, public health professionals have the responsibility to be prepared at all times and well-informed when responding to medical conflicts. Complex humanitarian emergencies cause great disruption, disabling, damaging, destroying community well-being. Public health sciences are evidently at the leading edge of health services planning and provision in mass casualty incidents. This article draws attention to the critical and current subject of health care and medical workers under attack in war zones. Criminal violence is against the law and an action that requires punishment. Lawful conduct that is part of a legally legitimate military operation must comply with the fundamental principles that govern armed conflict. It is important not to confuse the two action in terms of clarity and purpose. As for the extremely topical and vital issue, this article calls upon all parties in relevant fields to refresh and update their knowledge of the International Humanitarian Law, the Geneva Conventions and the various additional protocols in relation to current crises. Particular emphasis is placed on alerting national and international audiences at this turning point in history. When health care is faced with war-torn ethical damage, it is incumbent upon every professional to understand the context, to refrain from getting caught up in dilemmas, avoid getting carried away by popular tabloid trends.

Maimun Zubair and Response of Social, Political, and Religious Problems in Indonesia: A Study of Safīnatu Kallā Saya’lamūn fī Tafsīr Maimun Zubair by Lora Ismail Al-Ascholy
Authors: Manzilina Savira , Zaidanil Kamil Ahmad
Published: August 2024

Tafsir Al-Qur’an always reflects the reality faced by the interpreter. This paper will analyze Kiai Maimun Zubair’s response to social, political, and religious issues in Indonesia through Safīnatu Kallā Saya’lamūn. This interpretation comes from the study of Tafsir al-Jalālayn presented by Kiai Maimun Zubair in Javanese, then translated into Arabic by his student, Lora Ismail Al-Ascholy. Kiai Maimun Zubair is an active figure in the pesantren environment and has extensive experience in the Indonesian political sphere. Therefore, an in-depth exploration of his interpretation is essential. The research methods used in this study are descriptive, historical, and explanatory, applying Teun A. Van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis. The results of this study show that Kiai Maimun Zubair uses tafsir to understand God’s words in the Qur’an and as a platform to express his views and responses to social, political, and religious phenomena in contemporary Indonesia. He highlighted issues such as agriculture in Indonesia, criticism of democracy in Indonesia, and independence of the Republic. Safīnatu Kallā Saya’lamūn describes the social, political, and religious situation in contemporary Indonesia and significantly contributes to discussing these issues. His attitude reflects the paradigm of thought of pesantren scholars who are firm in their attitudes and beliefs, thus making pesantren play an active role in Indonesia’s development process.

Islamic thought has produced many intellectual and scientific schools, within which many personalities in different scientific fields have emerged. Al-Zamakhshari (d. 538H) is regarded as one of the most influential figures from the Mu’tazila school of thought in the history of Arab and Islamic culture. This study aims to reveal the direction and impact of Mu'tazila thought on the interpretation of verses related to Istiwa through Zamakhshari's book "Al-Kashaf" to expand the definition of the linguistic meanings presented by Al-Zamakhshari and analyze the contexts in which he dealt with this concept. The significance of this article lies in understanding the mechanisms of interpretation upon which Al-Zamakhshari relied in defending his belief by using reasoning and language to disassociate and free the Almighty from being similar or resembling the creature. The research used the descriptive-analytical approach to highlight the aspects used in al-Zamakhshari's interpretation of the concept of Istiwa. The study finds that the interpretations of the verses related to al-Istiwa Zamakhshari are purely linguistic-based interpretations, which he employs and links to the significance and context meaning according to what supports his Mu’tazili doctrine.

» With historical exclusion from the sport and lack of research on the subject, there is a paucity of data regarding the injury incidence, treatment, and recovery of female wrestlers as compared with their male counterparts.

» Data demonstrate that female wrestlers are more likely to experience sprains/strains, whereas male wrestlers experience more concussions and fractures.

» Variations in behavior and physiology including risk-taking habits and ligament laxity may contribute to differences in injury incidence between male and female wrestlers.

» Rapid weight loss and eating disorders are important areas of future investigation for male and female wrestlers alike.

Published: August 2024

Background:

Bone radiation-induced sarcomas (B-RIS) are secondary neoplasms with reportedly worse overall survival than de novo bone sarcoma. Treatment strategy for these neoplasms remains uncertain. Our systematic review sought to assess overall survival based on histology and surgical intervention.

Methods:

A systemic review was conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (438415). Studies describing oncologic outcomes of patients with B-RIS in the appendicular and axial skeleton were included. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist was used for quality assessment. Survival analysis by histologic subtype and surgery type was performed in a subset of 234 patients from 11 articles with individualized data. A total of 20 articles with a total of 566 patients were included. The most frequent location was the pelvis (27.7%), and the main histological types were osteosarcoma (69.4%), undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (14.1%), and fibrosarcoma (9.2%). Limb-salvage and amputation were performed in 68.5% and 31.5% of cases, respectively.

Results:

Local recurrence was 13%, without difference between limb-salvage surgery and amputation (p = 0.51). The metastasis rate was 42.3%. Five-year OS was 43.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 33.3%-53.5%) for osteosarcoma, 31.5% (95% CI, 11.3%-54.2%) for UPS, and 28.1% (95% CI, 10.6%-48.8%) for fibrosarcoma. Five-year OS was 49.2% (95% CI, 35.3%-61.6%) for limb-salvage and 46.9% (95% CI, 29.1%-62.9%) for amputation. There was no difference in 5-year OS between histologic subtypes (p = 0.18) or treatment type (p = 0.86).

Conclusion:

B-RIS demonstrated poor OS at 5 years after initial management regardless of histology. Limb-salvage surgery was not associated with lower 5-year OS compared with amputation. Future studies should compare both groups while controlling for confounders.

Level of Evidence:

Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
Upper Extremity Ballistic Nerve Injury
Authors: Wolf G. Jacob , Chen Kevin , Strelzow Jason A. , Stepan Jeffrey G.
Published: August 2024

» Gunshot injuries to the upper extremity (UE) have high likelihood for causing peripheral nerve injury secondary to the high density of vital structures. Roughly one-fourth of patients sustaining a gunshot wound (GSW) to the UE incur a nerve injury. Of these nerve injuries, just over half are neurapraxic. In cases of surgical exploration of UE nerve injuries, nearly one-third demonstrate a transected or discontinuous nerve.

» Existing literature regarding surgical management of nerve injuries secondary to GSWs comes from both military and civilian injuries. Outcomes are inconsistently reported, and indications are heterogeneous; however, reasonable results can be obtained with nerve reconstruction.

» Our proposed management algorithm hinges on 4 treatment questions: if there is a nerve deficit present on examination, if there is a concomitant injury in the extremity (i.e., fracture or vascular insult), whether the injured nerve would be in the operative field of the concomitant injury, and whether there was an identified nerve lesion encountered at the time of surgery by another surgeon?

» Early exploration rather than continued expectant management may offer improved recovery from GSW nerve injuries in particular situations. When an UE nerve deficit is present, establishing follow-up after the initial GSW encounter and early referral to a peripheral nerve surgeon are pivotal.

Sexismo en el lenguaje, lenguaje inclusivo y construcciones subjetivas
Authors: García Negroni María Marta
Published: August 2024

Luego de presentar el concepto de género gramatical, central en la argumentación académica en defensa del masculino genérico, este artículo pasa revista al carácter sexista de ciertos usos del lenguaje, y analiza diversas propuestas actuales que señalan su desacuerdo frente a las prácticas discursivas que naturalizan el ocultamiento de la mujer y de otras identidades de género. Del análisis de los datos se desprende que las enunciaciones que buscan evitar el sexismo y objetar el binarismo establecido por el género gramatical materializan diferentes construcciones subjetivas (i. e., no conservadoras, discordantes o inconsistentes, militantes, no binarias) en el terreno polémico instaurado por el uso del lenguaje inclusivo. El estudio se basa en un corpus constituido por intervenciones escritas y orales pertenecientes a distintos géneros discursivos (periodísticos, políticos, jurídicos, publicitarios, académicos) y producidas en los últimos años en la República Argentina.
Procesamiento de formas no binarias en distintas lenguas: evidencias, tensiones y desafíos
Authors: Zunino Gabriela Mariel , Ayelén Stetie Noelia
Published: August 2024

Este trabajo se plantea como una revisión del panorama actual de las discusiones en torno al surgimiento y difusión de formas inclusivas de género en español, con especial foco sobre los estudios y evidencia empírica que existe hasta el momento sobre su procesamiento psicolingüístico. Discutimos globalmente los datos existentes hasta el momento, con especial interés sobre los estudios desarrollados en América Latina. Existe evidencia empírica en distintas lenguas sobre cómo la computación de la morfología de género durante el procesamiento psicolingüístico incide en la conformación de representaciones sexogenéricas. Los datos muestran un sesgo masculinizante del masculino genérico cuando se procesan piezas de discurso que presentan sintagmas nominales en plural, como “los científicos”. Existen, además, numerosos estudios sobre cómo los estereotipos de género inciden durante la comprensión de nombres de rol y generan interacciones significativas con la morfología de género. La presente revisión permite derivar algunas conclusiones preliminares: las distintas propuestas de lenguaje inclusivo de género conviven en el uso espontáneo de hispanohablantes; el lenguaje inclusivo de género es más utilizado por mujeres y jóvenes; las formas no binarias no siempre suponen un obstáculo para el procesamiento y la comprensión, aunque pueden generar dificultad para la concordancia a nivel local; estas formas consiguen generar una representación genérica y mitigan los sesgos de estereotipicidad de los nombres de rol.
