The neutral foot position of the prosthetic SACH foot has a higher heel surface from the front of the foot (metatarsal line) with 1cm heel height. The prosthesis will be aligned to match the shoes that patient will use. When the patient is using shoes, the prosthetic SACH foot will be placed in a neutral position and will be supported by the shoe. When the patient does not use the shoe, the prosthesis will tilt backward especially when the foot is mid-stance and will force the pressure of the knee toward the extension of the knee joint which can cause damage to the knee joint structure. Therefore, knee joints will be measured at the time of the patient's use and not wearing shoes during mid-stance. Objective: To find out if there are significant differences in knee joint degree during mid-stance when using and not using shoes with 1cm heel height. Methods Quantitative comparative by observation of 2-dimensional motion in transtibial amputation patients using shoes and not using shoes with cross-sectional study design. Result : The degree of knee joints generated during mid-stance by patients with transtibial amputation when using shoes was 10.8o of flexion (p = 0.004) while at the time of not using the resulting knee boots was 4.5o of flexion (p = 0,000), normal degree of knee joint during mid- stance is 10o-20o of flexion. The results of paired t-test showed that there were significant differences in knee joint degree from standard degree, but when using the shoe showed a result of 0.8o larger than the lowest normal range while when not using shoes the resulting degree of 6.3o is smaller than lowest normal range.

Published: January 2023

Pregnancy is a time of increased vulnerability for the development of anxiety and depression because there are profound physiological and emotional changes in the mother during this period. Depression and anxiety are the most common psychiatric disorders during pregnancy and the symptoms can range from mild to severe. The study aimed to identify the prevalence of depression and its associated risk factors among pregnant women. A descriptive cross-sectional research was conducted among 414 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at BPKIHS through Systematic Random Sampling. Data were collected by interview technique using standardized and validated Edinburgh Postnatal Depression (EPDS) tool and Self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and binary logistic regression in SPSS version16. The prevalence of antenatal depression among the study population was 24.2 %. Antenatal depression was significantly associated with religion, gender of previous child, mode of previous delivery, fear of current pregnancy and complication, previous abortion, preferred sex of current child. Antenatal depression was 4 times more among the respondents having female child than male child (AOR= 4.135, CI: 1.146-14.924). Likewise, respondents who have the history of abortion were 4 times more likely to develop Antenatal depression (AOR=4.063, CI: 0.386-42.720). Similarly, respondents with the history of fear related to pregnancy complication were 3 times higher to develop Antenatal depression (AOR= 2.973, CI: 1.447-6.107).The study revealed that nearly 1/4th of the respondents had developed depression during antenatal period. Antenatal depression was higher among the respondents having the history of fear related to pregnancy, abortion and having previous male child. Therefore, screening pregnant women for depression during ANC visits and the provision of mental health education counseling services is recommended to mitigate the adverse health outcome of the problem.

Introduction: arterial ischemia defined as stenosis or occlusion of the aorta either of distant arteries from the heart, is a vascular emergency with a high risk of loss of a limb and associated morbidity and mortality [1]. Clinical Case: A 79-year-old male patient with a clinical history of psoriasis and chronic pain in the lower limbs followed by rheumatology, with a previous 60-year smoking habit of 10 units daily, who attended the emergency department with severe pain in the right lower limb with paresthesias that make it impossible to walk for 6 hours after lifting weights at home. On physical examination the right lower extremity, intense pain on palpation, cold, femoral pulse, popliteal present, anterior and posterior tibial absent, decreased mobility, absent foot sensation. Discussion: In this particular case, it is noteworthy that the only risk factor that the patient presented for developing critical ischemia with threatened viability was smoking and as a salvage measure, fibrinolysis with ateplase was performed, monitoring the distal circulation with a positive response of arterial reperfusion distal. Conclution: It should be noted that as a salvage measure evaluating the patient's risk-benefit, fibrinolysis with ateplase can be performed. It is essential to establish an early diagnosis that allows timely therapy to be established and has a positive impact on the prognosis of these individuals, since they present a high rate of morbidity and mortality [4].

Development of Guidelines For Implementation of Bored Pile Foundation Work Based On Risk Analysis
Authors: Ramadhan Ikhsan
Published: January 2023

Foundation specialist contractors already have guidelines for carrying out bored pile work. However, in its implementation there are risks that could potentially lead to delays. This is because in carrying out bored pile work there are risks that are not visible in the ground. Therefore, existing implementation guidelines need to be developed based on risk. This study aims to identify and analyze the potential risks that will occur, as well as the responses that need to be taken in the form of preventive and corrective actions, so as to develop guidelines for the implementation of risk-based bored pile work. The method used in this research is a qualitative analysis and Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) analysis. The dominant risk factors were found, namely the existence of utilities in the ground, improper age of the tool, collapse of the surface soil around the borehole, changes in the work implementation schedule from the owner and low labor productivity. Therefore, the risk response is to carry out Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and area mapping to find out the utilities that are in the ground, replace tools that are more appropriate, use preliminary casing, carry out careful planning and bring in an experienced workforce. It is hoped that the guidelines for implementing risk-based bored pile work can be used by specialist contractors to minimize the impact of negative risks that may occur in the implementation of bored pile foundation work.

Published: January 2023

This study aimed to assess the levels of contamination by pesticide residues in several types of vegetables collected from different regions in Egypt. A total of 100 samples of vegetables (pepper, tomato, cucumber, and strawberry) were collected from markets in five cities (Al-Obour, Al-Salheia El-Gadida, Giza, Zagazig, and Fayed) and analyzed for the presence of 42 different pesticide residues. The Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) method was used to extract the target pesticides, which were then quantified using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) techniques. The results showed that 72% of the vegetable samples contained detectable levels of pesticide residues, with 21% exceeding the European Union Maximum Residue Levels (EU-MRLs) and 51% containing residues below the MRLs. The detected residues were primarily insecticides (56.4%) and fungicides (43.6%), with tomato and strawberry samples showing the highest frequency of both types of pesticides. Tomato also had the highest absolute intake from consumption (2.89 g/kg BW/day), followed by strawberries, peppers, and cucumbers (0.47, 0.159, and 0.096 g/kg BW/day, respectively). A hazard index (HI) was used to assess the dietary risk posed by the pesticide residues, with tomato having the highest contribution value. These findings highlight the need for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to reduce the excessive use of pesticides, particularly in relation to raw food commodities. Action is required to minimize the unacceptable risks identified in this study.

Caption generation has long been of interest to researchers in the field of artificial intelligence. The ability to train a system to properly represent an image or environment, has broad applications in robotic vision, management, and many other areas. The purpose of this study is to analyze multiple transmission learning strategies and create a unique system for improving caption accuracy. To increase object relevance, image feature vectors are constructed using multiple state-of-the-art models that are input into an encoder/decoder transformation network based on attentional mechanisms. The model is evaluated for comparing datasets such as MS-COCO with criteria such as Bilingual Evaluation Understudy.

Objectives:  An observational study to evaluate the outcomes of Acromegaly patients treated in the department of Neurosurgery III, Punjab Institute of Neurosciences (PINS), Lahore, Pakistan.
Materials and Methods:  This study was the analysis of a case series of 20 patients (mean age: 30 years) of both genders with acromegaly due to macroadenoma who had endonasal excision and postoperative treatment with Sandostatin LAR.
Results:  This study consisted of a total of 20 patients out of which 11 (55%) were male and 9 (45%) were female. All 20 Patients (100%) had a headache as their main symptom and 13 patients (65%) had visual field deterioration. 19 patients (95%) had complete resection of the tumor whereas 1 (5%) had a subtotal resection. After surgery and treatment growth hormone levels improved in 19 patients (95%) and remained elevated in 1 patient (5%), IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor – 1) levels improved in all 20 (100%) patients. Following consecutive octreotide injections vision of 11 patients (84%) out of 13 improved and in 2 (16%) patients, it remained the same as of Preoperative status whereas Headache improved in all 20 (100%) of the patients. None of the patients had any complications related to the procedure or the injection of octreotide LAR.
Conclusion:  Acromegaly due to macroadenoma responds well to treatment with octreotide LAR after endonasal resection in terms of hormonal levels and symptoms of the patients. It is a safe treatment with very less side effects and complications.

Objective:  The study compared the postoperative back pain VAS score in bilateral interlaminar and classic laminectomy techniques in patients with lumbar canal stenosis.

Material and Methods:  This randomized controlled experiment was carried out at Ayub Teaching Hospital's Neurosurgery Department. 30 patients were in the bilateral interlaminar (BIL) group (A) and 30 were in the traditional laminectomy group (B). The bilateral interlaminar decompression technique was carried out utilizing the operating microscope. Both groups employed facet joint undercutting to reduce the 61-facet joint excision. All patients had postoperative CT scans to assess how well the decompression went. Postoperative VAS score was stratified to age, gender, duration of complaints, and duration of the procedure.

Results:  In group A, the mean age of patients was 51.10 years while in group B, the mean age was 54.500 years. There was a male dominance of male patients in both groups. The baseline mean VAS score was 7.9 in group A and group B both. The duration of the procedure was 71.2 minutes in group A, and 104.7 minutes in group B. Mean postoperative VAS score was 5.4 in group A and 3.3 in group B. There existed a significant difference in mean postoperative VAS scores between groups concerning gender, the duration of complaints, and procedures.

Conclusion:  In patients with lumbar canal stenosis, bilateral interlaminar allows for safe and adequate spinal canal decompression.

Objective:  To explore the result and frequency of different problems that occur in the early post-operative period and the incidence of these complications in our community. It will give insight and drive further development in the care of myelomeningoceles as well as the unique problems that emerge in these patients post-operatively.
Materials and Methods:  At the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center in Karachi, the Department of Neurosurgery, this prospective, observational study was carried out over 12 months. Patients of both genders from 1 month to 2 years of age, diagnosed with myelomeningocele, and admitted to the ward for surgical repair were included in the study.
Results:  Out of 94, there were 58.5% female patients, with the highest percentage of age group i.e. 48.9% in > 3 months to 9 months. Medium size of MMC (71.3%) at the lumbar side location (46.8%) was observed in the highest frequency among the study sample. The overall postoperative complication rate was 19.1%, with CSF leak being the most common (9.6%) followed by wound infection (5.3%). There was no association of the complications with the age, size, and location of MMC.
Conclusion:  Myelomeningocele treatment may be delayed as a result of distant homebirths. Neurosurgeons who are trying to give prompt access to medical care for individuals born with MMC face various hurdles, including the family's desire to seek medical attention, their capacity to do so, and the availability of proper medical treatment.

Published: January 2023

Objective:   We designed the present study to compare the clinical outcomes of the craniotomy and the decompressive craniectomy procedures that we had performed in our department for evacuating traumatic acute subdural hematomas.

Material and Methods:  We retrospectively analyzed the medical data of all the adult patients in whom a craniotomy or a decompressive craniectomy had been performed for evacuating acute traumatic subdural hematoma. The demographic data, the preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and the clinical outcome were studied.

Results:  A craniotomy had been carried out in five patients for traumatic AcSDH evacuation while in twelve patients a decompressive craniectomy had been performed. The mean preoperative GCS was 9 in the patients that underwent a craniotomy, whereas the mean preoperative GCS in the decompressive craniectomy group was 6.8. The overall mortality was 47%. In the craniotomy group, 4 (80%) patients survived and 1 (20%) patient expired. In the decompressive craniectomy group, 5 (41.7%) patients survived and 7 (58.3%) patients expired. The outcome in all the 9 surviving patients was favorable based on the Glasgow Outcome scale and all of them were independent of follow-up.

Conclusion:  Better clinical outcome was observed in patients who had undergone a craniotomy compared to those in whom a decompressive craniectomy had been performed. Patients that underwent a craniotomy were also in a better clinical status preoperatively compared to patients who underwent a decompressive craniectomy.

Published: January 2023

Objective: Spinal metastatic tumors are mostly extradural. Intradural extramedullary tumors include neurofibromas and meningiomas while intramedullary tumors are mostly astrocytoma and ependymoma. The purpose of this study was to share the experience of managing these patients as a multidisciplinary team (neurosurgeons, general surgeons, thoracic surgeons, ENT surgeons, plastic surgeons, and oncology) in selected cases where the tumors grow into the surrounding structures.

Material and Methods:  This study was conducted at the Neurosurgery Department at Jinnah hospital Lahore from January 2021 to September 2022. 50 patients admitted to the Neurosurgery Department from OPD/emergency with the diagnosis of a spinal tumor confirmed on MRI were included in the study. Those patients who were unfit for surgery were not included in the study. Data was analyzed for gender, region, and location of the tumor, histopathological diagnosis, and multidisciplinary team involvement.

Results:  Out of 50 patients, 28 (56%) patients were male and 22 (44%) patients were female while ages ranged from 14 to 63 years. Extradural location was the most frequently encountered location, i.e., 50%. Metastatic tumors were the commonest. A multidisciplinary treatment board was conducted in 31 (62%) patients whereas adjuvant treatment was done in 15 (30%) patients.

Conclusion:  Multidisciplinary treatment of spinal tumors should be encouraged at tertiary care hospitals and routine multidisciplinary treatment boards conducted before and after surgical excision.

Objective: To assess the relationship between hypovitaminosis D and chronic low back pain in South Punjab.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective research was done from January 2021 to June 2022. 173 chronic nonspecific low back pain patients presenting in outpatient clinics were included in our study. Two groups were made of all patients, one was vitamin-D level deficient, and the other was a vitamin-D normal group. The blood level of 30 ng/ml of vitamin D was taken as normal. Chronic Low back pain status was analyzed by VAS score. All the demographic data of patients were recorded. The relationship between vitamin D and VAS score was assessed by the spearman coefficient and p <0.05 was taken as significant.
Results: The majority of patients had a mean age of 36.45 ± 21 years, were female preponderance, married, and vegetarians with a mean sun exposure time of about 2 hours. In group 1, the vitamin D level was 13.41 ± 3.8 and in group 2 vitamin D was 38.71 ± 5.8 with p value< 0.0001. Spearman rho coefficient was used to assess the relationship between vitamin D and pain score. The result was a negative correlation between these 2 variables (r=-0.572) and p <0.0001.
Conclusion This research work showed the significant probability of association between vitamin D level and patients having nonspecific chronic low back pain. There was a negative association between vitamin D level and VAS score of patients having chronic low back pain.
