Evaluation of the retina and optic discs of patients with chronic and episodic migraine using optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography
Authors: Özkara Yılmaz Buket , Karnaz Ali
Published: December 2024

Objective: Migraine is a very common, recurring, usually unilateral, severe, pulsating, and transient headache disorder, which causes temporary disability. Abnormal retinal and optic disc pathologies in migraine patients were previously reported by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). In the present study, it was hypothesized that the changes found in the retina and optic disc might indicate a functional disorder in migraine. It is also emphasized that these changes might be useful for early diagnosis and follow-up of the disease, as well as for the development of new treatments.
Method: In total, 60 individuals were involved in the present study, including 28 chronic migraine patients (24 female, 4 male) and 32 episodic migraine patients (26 female, 6 male), whose migraine types were determined by using the criteria set by the International Headache Society (IHS) in 2013. The control group consisted of 48 healthy volunteers (34 female, 14 male) aged between 18 and 45 years, who applied to the ophthalmology clinic. The retinas and optic discs of the patients were examined by OCT and OCTA at our ophthalmology clinic. A double-blind randomized analysis was performed for the patient data and the data were compared to control group of similar gender and age.
Results: Examining the demographic data, no statistically significant difference was found between the migraine patients and the healthy controls in terms of age and gender However, using OCT, it was determined that the mean vertical and horizontal cup- to-disk (c/d) ratios at the optic disc were significantly impaired in patients compared to the control group. Moreover, using OCTA, significant reductions in vessel density were detected in the foveal, parafoveal, perifoveal areas and in the superficial and deep capillary plexuses of the patients.
Conclusion: Migraine patients have statistically significant differences in retinal thickness and vascularity, which is consistent with an increased risk.

Authors: Liu Linqi , Que Wenjun , Fan Rui , Lu Dan , Xiao Fei
Published: December 2024

Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease characterized by an imbalance between inflammatory mediators and immune cells. The diagnosis and assessment of disease severity require the aid of more specific biomarkers.
Methods: Utilizing the Luminex assay, we quantified the serum levels of CD137, galectin-9, MMP12, TSG14, IL-16, IL-31, and IL-34 in a cohort of 157 participants, which comprised 98 patients with MG and 59 healthy controls (HCs). Correlation analyses were performed to examine the relationship between serum IL-16 and TSG-14 levels and clinical outcomes.
Results: Serum levels of IL-16 were significantly lower in MG patients compared to the HC group (median [inter-quartile range (IQR)], 102.1 [73.58–126.7] pg/mL versus 162.4 [95.72–312.7] pg/ mL, P < 0.0001). Conversely, the serum concentration of TSG-14 was significantly higher in MG patients than in HCs (1249 [809.3–2134] pg/mL versus 883.0 [512.5–1264] pg/mL, P = 0.0035). No significant differences were observed in the serum levels of CD137, galectin-9, IL-31, IL-34, and MMP12 between MG patients and HCs. Correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between serum IL-16 levels and Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) scores, as well as Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores; TSG-14 displayed a positive correlation with QMG scores.
Conclusion: Serum IL-16 concentrations were reduced, whereas TSG-14 concentrations were elevated in MG patients. These findings suggest that these serum proteins can potentially serve as biomarkers for assessing disease severity in MG patients.

Published: December 2024

Background & Objective: Haematoma expansion is an important predictor of poor clinical outcomes for primary acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Swirl sign is described as an area which is hypodense or isodense surrounded by hyperdense acute haemorrhage. This study aimed to describe swirl sign in ICH, its prevalence and to determine if the presence of swirl sign, swirl volume and the ratio of swirl to initial haematoma volume are associated with haematoma expansion and to predict clinical outcome in ICH.
Methods: One hundred and sixty-three patients who had spontaneous ICH with initial (CT1) and repeat CT (CT2) within 96 hours were included. Presence of swirl sign, its volume and the ratio of swirl volume over haematoma volume in initial and repeat CT were calculated using semi auto-segmentation from ‘ITK snap’. Statistical analysis using Spearman’s correlation coefficient and chi-square test were done to assess the relationship between the data parameters with haematoma expansion as well as functional outcome and mortality at 1 month.
Results: Chi-square test showed a significant association between the presence of swirl sign with the haematoma expansion (p < 0.001) and mRS score at 1 month (p < 0.05). Spearman correlation showed a significant moderate correlation between swirl sign and volume of haematoma expansion (r = 0.518, p < 0.001). Ratio of swirl volume/initial haematoma volume demonstrated low correlation but however significant with haematoma expansion (r=0.28 p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Swirl sign, its volume as well as the ratio of swirl volume over initial haematoma are associated with haematoma expansion. It can be used as a predictor of mortality and functional outcome at one month.

Background: Acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) is associated with severe neurological dysfunction and high mortality rates. Endovascular treatment (EVT) is a highly effective VBAO approach in the initial treatment window. However, predicted factors influencing the outcomes of VBAO patients who undergo EVT remain unknown. Our study aims to assess the impact of metabolic syndrome (Mets) on VBAO after EVT and to determine whether this factor can be influenced by reperfusion time.
Methods: This retrospective study included a cohort of 569 patients with acute VBAO after EVT, who were enrolled across 21 stroke centers in China. The diagnosis of Mets was determined using the criteria established by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP). The primary outcome was favorable outcome, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0-3 at 90 days post-treatment. To assess the impact of Mets and reperfusion time on the prognosis of VBAO patients, multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed. Safety outcomes, including symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), in-hospital mortality, and 1-year mortality, were also evaluated.
Results: Three hundred and thirty-four (58.70%) were being identified as having Mets in total 569 patients. After adjustment for potential confounding factors, a significant association appeared between Mets and favorable outcome at 90 days (OR, 0.547 [0.371, 0.807], p = 0.002). Additionally, the interaction was found between Mets and puncture to reperfusion time (PTR), which co-affects the favorable outcome (p for interaction < 0.001).
Conclusions: VBAO patients with Mets have poor prognosis after being treated with EVT, with this prognosis more sensitive to PTR.

Published: December 2024

Mutations in common amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) genes have been reported in sporadic ALS. In the current case, we describe a patient without known family history who was found to harbour a SOD1 mutation (p.D126H variant) and who developed ALS following COVID-19 vaccination. This mutation has only been previously reported once three decades ago in a British family. Although COVID-19 vaccination in itself is unlikely to contribute to the development of ALS, the possibility that vaccination could play a part in triggering the onset of disease in patients with risk variants merits further study.

Authors: Gou Xian-Juan , Shang Hui-Qiang , Li Lin-Fei , Yang Liu , Tian Wei-Yan
Published: December 2024

Objective: To examine the occurrence of post-traumatic stress disorder among patients who have experienced venomous snakebites and investigate the factors contributing to it. The results provided insights for devising suitable nursing interventions.
Methods: Between June 2022 and October 2023, a total of 128 snakebite patients from the Advanced Snakebite Rescue Center at a tertiary hospital in Guizhou Province were chosen as participants using convenience sampling. General Information Questionnaire, the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Simple Clinical Severity Assessment Scale, and the Swelling Severity Rating Scale (SSRS) were assessed at the time of admission, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) at 1 month after.
Results: The prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among patients bitten by venomous snakes was found to be 67.97%, with an average PTSD score of 44.26±13.53. Various factors including cultural background, psychological resilience, social support, pain intensity, severity of snakebite, and degree of swelling were identified as influencing PTSD in these patients (all P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The incidence of PTSD was increased in individuals with venomous snakebites, particularly among those with lower literacy levels, reduced psychological resilience, limited access to social support, increased pain levels, severe snakebites, and significant swelling. Healthcare professionals should address PTSD in patients with snakebites and implement preventive interventions targeting these high-risk factors to mitigate the occurrence of PTSD in this patient population.

Authors: Wang Xiaoyu , Zhang Chunrong , Li Weiwei , Lei Yanfeng , An Yuan
Published: December 2024

Objective: To assess the accuracy of a Dehaier wrist pulse oximeter DHR998 Plus to detect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in stroke patients.
Methods: One hundred and fifty-one ischemic stroke patients simultaneously completed a standard polysomnogram (PSG) and wore the Dehaier wrist pulse oximeter DHR998 Plus and another finger-worn oximetry Pulsox-300i during a nocturnal recording. PSG sleep and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) were scored according to AASM criteria. Dehaier wrist pulse oximeter DHR998 Plus and Pulsox-300i data were analyzed with an automated computerized algorithm which calculated the amount of oxygen desaturation events with a 4% decline from baseline lasting more than 3 seconds per hour. This yielded an oxygen desaturation index 4% (ODI4). Agreement analysis and receiver operator characteristic curve analysis were used to measure the diagnostic reliability of Dehaier wrist pulse oximeter DHR998 Plus compared with AHI and Plusox-300i.
Results: Among the 151 patients, 14 cases were without OSA (AHI<5), 25 cases were diagnosed with mild OSA (AHI:5-14.9), 29 cases were diagnosed with moderate OSA (AHI:15-29.9) and 83 cases were diagnosed with severe OSA (AHI≥30). There was a significant correlation between Dehaier wrist pulse oximeter DHR998 Plus derived ODI4 and AHI (r=0.74, P<0.01). The agreement between Dehaier wrist pulse oximeter DHR998 Plus derived ODI4 and Pulsox-300i derived ODI4 was moderately good, with interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values of 0.83 (95% CI, 0.78-0.88, P<0.01). To assess sensitivity and specificity of Dehaier wrist pulse oximeter DHR998 Plus, we constructed receiver operator characteristic curve by various AHI threshold values (5, 15, 20 and 30). Optimal combinations of sensitivity and specificity for the various thresholds were 0.88/0.71, 0.88/0.69, 0.93/0.65, 0.74/0.9, respectively.
Conclusions: Wrist-worn Dehaier wrist pulse oximeter DHR998 Plus can detect OSA with reasonable reliability as Gravel V2, especially for severe OSA in stroke patients.

Authors: Rujirussawarawong Surachet , Lertbutsayanukul Punjama , Suanprasert Narupat , Rojana-udomsart Arada
Published: December 2024

Background & Objective: Isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy was the most common isolated cranial nerve palsy causing extraocular muscle dysfunction. As magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quality had improved and knowledge had grown in recent years, the etiology previously classified as idiopathic might be re-classified to be another in the current era, and some require specific treatments. We therefore studied the etiology, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcome in patients with isolated sixth cranial palsy in recent years.
Methods: The medical records of 88 patients with isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy visited at the Neurological Institute of Thailand from January 2013 to December 2020 were reviewed. Clinical and demographical data included age, gender, laterality, headache location, vascular risk factors, etiology, treatment, and prognosis were collected and analyzed.
Results: The most common etiology was microvascular ischemia (29.5%), followed by inflammation (25.0%), and vascular disorders (20.5%). Neoplasm, abducens palsy mimics and false localizing sign, and idiopathic were less common (13.6%, 6.8% and 4.5%, respectively). Compared to patient with sixth cranial nerve palsy from microvascular ischemia, those with inflammatory cause were younger (p<0.001), were more likely to have headache (p=0.004), and had better prognosis at 3 months (p=0.018).
Conclusion: Microvascular ischemia was the most common etiology of isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy. Age at onset and presence of headache were the important clues for distinguishing sixth cranial nerve palsy due to microvascular ischemia from inflammation. Prognosis was more favorable in inflammation than microvascular ischemia group. We suggest MRI scan to exclude other causes before making a diagnosis of microvascular ischemia or idiopathic.

Published: December 2024

Objective: Inflammation in ischemic brain tissue is the primary factor contributing to the pathogenesis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study aimed to investigate the role of new inflammatory parameters—immature granulocyte count (IGc) and the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII)—in determining the presence of inflammation and the subtype, severity, and prognosis of AIS.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted using data from 124 patients with AIS and 126 healthy controls. The severity at stroke onset and the functional outcome after at least 3 months of follow- up were determined. Patients with AIS were subdivided into subgroups according to aetiology. The following haemogram parameters were compared between the AIS and control groups: haemogram parameters; white blood cell (WBC) count, haemoglobin (Hgb), haematocrit (HCT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet count (PLT), PCT (plateletcrit), lymphocyte and neutrophil count, RDW-CV (red cell distribution width coefficient of variation), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), MPV/PLT ratio, PLT/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), WBC/MPV ratio (WMR), IGc and IG percentage (IG%), and SII values.
Results: The parameters WBC, IGc, IG%, RDWCV, neutrophil count, NLR, WMR, and SII values were significantly higher in the AIS group than in the control group. We found significant correlations between high SII value and high clinical NIHSS scores at stroke onset, mRS obtained after at least a 3-month follow-up period.
Conclusion: IGc and SII may be new parameters to evaluate the presence of inflammation in patients with AIS. A higher SII was associated with higher stroke severity, and it may be useful for predicting adverse clinical outcomes.

Published: December 2024

Leukoencephalopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases in which many acquired and hereditary factors play a role in its etiopathogenesis. In recent years, Alanyl-tRNA synthetase 2 (AARS2), encoded by the nuclear genome, has been identified as the causative gene in a small number of patients. The AARS2 gene is responsible for the “progressive leukoencephalopathy with ovarian failure (LKENP)” phenotype, an extremely rare syndrome characterized by progressive leukoencephalopathy and premature ovarian failure. In this case report; we describe the delayed diagnosis of LKENP by genetic analysis using a large gene panel, in a female who was followed up in different clinics for many years with clinical findings of early ovarian failure, amnesia, depression, young-onset dementia, early ovarian failure and leukoencephalopathy. As a result of genetic analysis of the patient using NGS-based targeted multigene panel testing, disease-related variants in the AARS2 gene were found to be compound heterozygous. These; reported in the literature as NM_020745.4(AARS2):c.1709delG (p.Gly570AlafsTer21) and novel NM_020745.4(AARS2):c.2358_2364+7dupCCAGCAGGTCAGCA variants. When the clinical and radiological findings observed in our case were evaluated together, LKENP was considered in the preliminary diagnosis among all adult-onset leukoencephalopathy types. In this rare hereditary type of leukoencephalopathy, molecular genetic tests was important in elucidating etiopathogenesis.

Review of Mixed Sedimentation Studies
Authors: Zhou Chao , Li Kunkun
Published: December 2024

Since the 1950s, mixed sedimentation has come into people's attention, and has gradually become the research direction of sedimentology. On the basis of previous studies, the research progress of mixed deposition at home and abroad is summarized, and some problems and prospects of mixed deposition are put forward. Mixed sediment is widely developed in Marine and lake sedimentary environments. As a special sediment with complex sedimentary patterns, it is controlled by many factors such as terrigenous supply, climate change, sea level change, hydrodynamic conditions, tectonic action and so on. The genetic types of mixed sediments generally include intermittent mixing, facies mixing, insitu mixing and source mixing. Mixed sedimentary rocks include mixed sedimentary rocks and mixed sedimentary strata. The classification of mixed sedimentary rocks was first proposed by predecessors, and now it adopts more three-end element method. Mixed deposition has important oil and gas geological significance, and there are still some problems to be solved, including the establishment and improvement of sedimentary models in different sedimentary environments, the unified naming and lithology identification of mixed deposits, and the prediction of mixed deposits, etc. These studies are of great significance to the oil and gas exploration and development of mixed deposits.

Authors: Zhang Muge
Published: December 2024

This study selects data from Chinese manufacturing A-share listed companies between 2014 and 2023 as research samples, uses empirical methods to test the relationship between corporate donation behavior and commercial credit financing, and further analyzes the impact of the number and property rights of state-owned and non-state-owned enterprises on the relationship between corporate donation behavior and commercial credit financing. The research results found that corporate donation behavior has a certain positive promoting effect on commercial credit financing; The number of state-owned and non-state-owned enterprises has no impact on the relationship between corporate donations and commercial credit financing; Due to the implicit guarantee from the government, state-owned enterprises are better able to gain the trust of suppliers, so the commercial credit effect of donations from state-owned enterprises is not as significant as the impact of donations from non-state-owned enterprises on commercial credit financing; In view of the above research results and the current shortcomings of the government's policies on public welfare donations and commercial credit financing, this study proposes measures to strengthen policy guidelines, such as increasing the upper limit of tax incentives and expanding the scale of credit guarantee funds, in order to achieve a win-win situation of economic and social benefits.

This article explores how social media has changed journalism, with a particular emphasis on how it has affected reporters' roles, techniques, and interactions with audiences. Social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have given journalists new opportunities as well as difficulties [1]. These platforms' introduction has sped up news cycles and moved the emphasis from in-depth reporting to quick, snappy content creation [2]. As a result of this change, journalists must learn to work in a faster-paced news environment and handle the challenges of information overload and source verification [vi]. Both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies are used in this study. Ten journalists participated in in-depth interviews to collect qualitative data, which showed how social media has drastically changed traditional reporting practices by requiring a balance between accuracy and speed [12]. The spread of false information and the pressure to give sensationalism top priority in order to achieve high engagement metrics have been identified as major obstacles [13]. Variations in the frequency of audience interaction, the number of platforms used, and the reliance on social media for news sourcing are highlighted by quantitative analysis based on surveys of 250 journalists. According to the research, social media is heavily relied upon by journalists, with 27.2% of them utilising it for 41–60% of their news sourcing and differing degrees of audience interaction. "The ethical ramifications of social media in journalism are also examined in the study.'' While some journalists discover that social media improves audience engagement and speeds up the distribution of news, others worry about the detrimental effects on journalistic ethics and integrity. According to the study's findings, social media can increase interaction and immediacy, but it can also make it difficult to uphold ethical standards and accuracy.

The Examination of Britain’s Annexation of Awadh Illustrates how Colonial Misinterpretation Validated Imperial Policies

Published: December 2024

This paper examines the British annexation of Awadh (1856) through the framework of colonial misinterpretation, focusing on how the British applied the norm-deviation concept to justify their imperial policies. Drawing on Partha Chatterjee’s “Pedagogy of Violence,” the paper critiques how Nawab Wajid Ali Shah’s rule was mischaracterized as “deviant” due to its divergence from Western bureaucratic norms. This portrayal fueled British claims of misgovernance, leading to the annexation, which disregarded Awadh's indigenous political systems and cultural vitality. The annexation’s economic and social disruptions—heavy taxation, property confiscation, and the erosion of local industries—created widespread discontent among peasants, nobility, and sepoys, culminating in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Additionally, the paper explores the conservative critique of British liberal policies, which highlighted the failures of ignoring local traditions. This conservative backlash advocated for a more respectful approach to Indian customs, ultimately influencing British governance reforms, including the Queen’s Proclamation of 1858. By examining these dynamics, the paper reveals the consequences of imposing foreign standards on a culturally rich and politically complex society, underscoring how the annexation of Awadh became a case study in the larger imperial struggle between governance, cultural misunderstanding, and resistance.

Okra is a summer annual, often cross-pollinated main vegetable of the tropical and subtropical areas The experiment was performed using 10 different Okra genotypes of unknown salt tolerance perspective sent to the salt state, to divide them into salt-tolerant, moderate-tolerant, and sensitive groups, based on their salt-tolerant ability. The tested genotypes were exposed to various growth stages such as germination and emergence, and seedling growth under high salt levels i.e. 0mM, 25 mM, 50mM, 75 mM, and 100mM to test the effects of salt pressure on low-salt okra genotypes. Vertical seedlings follow a pattern that reduces energy in terms of seedling roots and shoot lengths with fresh and dry weight. Examination of okra seed emergence revealed a declining trend in the percentage of emergence; plant biomass (fresh and dried) with seedling roots and shoot length. Based on the strength of the Okra genotypes of salt tolerance and results, okra genotypes OH-713, OH- 139, OH-138, and OH-001 were among the most tolerant and middle-tolerant groups including OH- 152, OH -597, and MD-02. The low-end middle-aged group was identified as including Sabzpari, Okra-7100 and Okra-7080. Following the results of our test. Therefore, from the final results these species of Okra are divided above the salt tolerance in saline soils and are suitable for salt-affected regions.
The Construction of Celebrity Persona in Variety Shows from the Perspective of Nonverbal Communication: A Case Study of Back to Field
Authors: Dong Bingfei
Published: December 2024

Nonverbal symbols are widely used in various social contexts in daily life. In the context of variety shows, nonverbal symbols play a role in constructing celebrity personas and driving plot development. In an era dominated by short videos, the use of nonverbal symbols by some content creators has become more evident for segmented communication. Due to the inherent authenticity of nonverbal symbols, inconsistencies in their use within variety shows can lead to "persona collapse." This paper analyzes the role of nonverbal symbols in constructing celebrity personas within variety shows through case studies. Furthermore, it explores how the public's trust in information is influenced by various factors amid the widespread dissemination of information on short video platforms. The findings offer insights for the planning and performance of variety shows and the analysis of public opinion on the internet.
