Published: October 2024

Background:

Progress in hernia surgery in Nigeria is hampered by poor health-seeking behavior, poverty, and ignorance. The disparity in the quality of health care deliveries between urban and rural areas led to the greater proportions of rural dwellers being grossly underserved. Medical aid programs offer ample opportunities to reduce the burden of hernias in Nigeria. This study aimed to analyze the early outcomes of elective hernia repairs performed during medical outreach programs.

Methods:

This is a retrospective study of 186 patients who had hernia repair between September and November 2019. Patients were recruited from six consecutive medical aid programs held in Niger Delta (Southern) region of Nigeria.

Results:

Overall, 186 patients were evaluated: 159 (855%) males and 27 (14.5%) females. Approximately three-fourths (141, 75.8%) harbored inguinal hernia. Nylon-darn was utilized to repair all inguinal hernias while a simple closure technique was used for all midline hernias. Majority (180, 96.8%) were discharged within 24 h of repair. Spinal anesthesia accounted for 51.6% of all anesthetic techniques used. The overall postoperative complication rate was 17.2%. The most common postoperative morbidity was scrotal edema (8.1%) followed by seroma (4.3%). Age >64 years (P < 0.001), large hernias >3 cm defect (P < 0.001), lower cadre of surgeon (P < 0.001), local anesthesia (P < 0.001) and comorbidity (P < 0.001) were significantly associated with raised morbidity. No mortality was recorded. All complications were managed conservatively.

Conclusion:

Majority of the hernias were of inguinal origin. Scrotal edema was the most frequent postoperative complication, followed by seroma. Advanced age, large hernias, lower cadre of surgeon, comorbidity and local anesthesia were associated with raised morbidity rates.

Published: October 2024

It is common practice to reconstruct small nasal defects following the nasal subunits principle but for near-total nasal defects, the best method of reconstruction based on esthetic considerations is still debatable. For large defects that involve both sides of the nose symmetrically, near-total resurfacing results in satisfactory cosmetic outcome. We present a case of a middle-aged man who had nasal resurfacing of the nose with a paramedian forehead flap following the excision of a broad benign cutaneous lesion on a background of long-lasting generalised skin disease.
Determination of Sensitivity and Positive Predictive Value for Handheld Doppler in the Assessment of Thoracodorsal Artery Perforators and Literature Review
Authors: Choji Joshua D. , Karago Christopher Y. , Gabkwet Anthony E. , Yiltok Simon J.
Published: October 2024

Background:

Hand-held Doppler (HHD) is still a very useful tool in the reconstructive surgeon’s armamentarium. One hundred percent specificity in detecting perforators can be achieved with HHD when a perforator compression test is applied. The study aimed to determine the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) for HHD in the assessment of thoracodorsal artery perforators, by applying the perforator compression test, using the color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) as the standard.

Materials and Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study. The Plastic Surgeon assessed for perforators using HHD on both lateral thoracic areas for each patient, with a re-evaluation of the same locations by a Consultant Radiologist using the CDU. The data generated were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20, and results were presented in charts and tables. The sensitivity and PPV for HHD were then calculated.

Results:

A total of 70 patients were included, 58 males (82.9%) and 12 females (17.1%). The age range was 18–65 years, with a mean of 31.77 years ± 11.72 years. Overall, 247 perforators were identified by HHD. The true positive, false-positive, and false-negative values for HHD were 127 (51.4%), 120 (48.6%), and 20 (8.1%), respectively. The sensitivity and PPV for the HHD were calculated as 86.3% and 51.4%, respectively.

Conclusion:

The sensitivity of HHD was high while the PPV was much lower compared to other studies. This implies that for patients with positive HHD signals, the probability of having perforators intraoperative is low.

Published: October 2024

Background:

Malaria during pregnancy causes significant maternal and perinatal morbidities and mortality. The World Health Organization recommends intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP). The reports of SP resistance have prompted the need for alternatives.

Objective:

This study compared the effects of azithromycin (AZ) and SP on maternal malaria during pregnancy among pregnant women in Owo, Ondo State.

Methods and Materials:

A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted among 322 pregnant women who presented for antenatal care and delivery at Federal Medical Centre, Owo, Ondo State. 500 mg AZ was administered to 148 participants on three consecutive days at intervals of every four weeks, whereas 143 participants received SP in accordance with the standard regimen. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at a 5% level of significance, and outcomes were compared across groups using Chi-square and Student’s t-test.

Results:

The incidence of asymptomatic parasitaemia was 17.2%. Following the administration of the trial drugs, the rates of maternal parasitaemia did not show any statistically significant difference at antenatal follow-up (9 [6.3%] for SP and 12 [8.1%] for AZ [P = 0.360]) and at delivery in both the groups (7 [4.9%] for SP and 5 [3.4%] for AZ [P = 0.360]). The incidence of adverse events and pregnancy outcomes were also comparable between both groups. AZ compared effectively with SP in reducing the risk of having symptomatic malaria during pregnancy. There was no significant difference in maternal peripheral parasitaemia between the two groups.

Conclusion:

Hence, AZ could be considered an alternative to SP for intermittent preventive treatment of malaria during pregnancy.

Published: October 2024

Context:

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an infection involving the respiratory system caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, caused significant mortality and morbidity in the population. Certain studies showed that patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) tend to have worse prognoses. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the role of CVD as a risk factor in COVID-19 disease.

Objectives:

The primary objective was to determine the CVD as a risk factor for death among COVID-19 patients.

Materials and Methods:

This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in South India including all patients above 18 years of age who were admitted with COVID-19 disease in the hospital from March 2021 to June 2022. The data were retrieved from the medical records department of the hospital and were recorded in a predesigned data extraction sheet.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Baseline clinical characteristics were shown as mean (standard deviation), median (range), or number (%), with a comparison of characteristics in subjects stratified by case and control through the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test for continuous variables and Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test for binary variables.

Results:

The study included 1127 COVID-19 patients, 86.2% were discharged, and 13.8% died. Patients aged over 60 years were hospitalised the most (53.2%), with a 16.2% mortality rate. Mild cases (62.9%) had a 2.96% mortality rate, whereas severe/intensive care unit (ICU) cases (10.5%) had a 65.3% mortality rate. Patients with preexisting CVD had a higher mortality rate (32.27%) compared to those without CVD (6.53%). Among specific CVD conditions, coronary artery disease (CAD) patients had a 15.07% mortality rate, while those without CAD had a 13.58% mortality rate, showing no significant difference. Patients with hypertension (HTN) (45.7%) and diabetes (53.2%) had higher mortality rates of 17.08% and 16.66%, respectively, compared to those without these conditions. Other factors such as angina, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), and chronic kidney disease also showed varying impacts on patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

In our study, 972 (86.2%) patients were discharged and 155 (13.8%) patients were deceased. There was more mortality in male patients (15.4%). Mortality was more in patients <40 years old (21.6%). Severe cases had the greatest number of deaths (65.3%). Patients hospitalised for more than seven days had the highest death percentage (21.6%). More deaths were found in patients with preexisting CVDs, HTN, and diabetes mellitus. Thus, similar kinds of studies are needed in the future for a further warrant and a better understanding of the COVID-19 outcome in patients with CVDs.

Published: October 2024

Introduction:

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is heterogeneous with varied progression rate. This study aimed to identify the baseline clinical characteristics associated with ILD progression within 1, 3 and 5 years of the diagnosis of ILD.

Methods:

This was a prospective, multicentre study — Systematic Sclerosis Cohort Singapore — conducted from January 2008 to February 2021, which included SSc patients with ILD diagnosed by high-resolution computed tomography. Progression of ILD was defined by forced vital capacity (FVC) decline ≥10% predicted or FVC decline 5%–9% predicted, with diffusing lung capacity of carbon monoxide decline ≥15% from the time of ILD diagnosis. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses, adjusting for malignancy and treatment, were performed to determine independent risk factors of ILD progression.

Results:

Of 124 SSc patients with ILD, 47.6% had limited cutaneous SSc, 33.9% had diffuse SSc and 18.5% had SSc-overlap. Progression of ILD was seen in 6%, 15% and 23% of patients within 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. After adjusting for malignancy and treatment, anti-La was associated with ILD progression within 1 year (odds ratio [OR] 6.94, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14–42.2; P = 0.04) and 3 years (OR 5.98, 95% CI: 1.31–27.4; P = 0.02), and anti-Scl-70 was associated with ILD progression within 5 years (OR 2.54, 95% CI: 1.05–6.12; P = 0.04). Analysing time to ILD progression as an outcome, anti-La was significantly associated with higher risk of ILD progression (hazard ratio 3.47, 95% CI: 1.18–10.2; P = 0.02). Time to ILD progression was 1.4 years in patients with anti-La versus 6.9 years in patients without anti-La (P = 0.02), and 4.7 years in patients with anti-Scl-70 versus 8.9 years in patients without anti-Scl-70 (P = 0.12).

Conclusion:

In this Asian cohort of SSc patients, autoantibodies may help to predict ILD progression rates.
Successful 24-hour discharge for total knee arthroplasty: importance of timing of surgery and physiotherapy in enhanced recovery after surgery protocol
Authors: Lee Hong Jing , Xu Sheng , Liu Eric Xuan , Lim Jason Beng Teck , Liow Ming Han Lincoln , Pang Hee Nee , Tay Darren Keng-Jin , Yeo Seng Jin , Chen Jerry Yongqiang
Published: October 2024

Introduction:

The current literature is mixed on which patient factors, if any, predict the rate of successful discharge within 24 h of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to investigate the influence of timing of surgery and physiotherapy on the rate of successful 24-h discharge.

Methods:

All 342 patients who underwent ERAS day surgery TKA from August 2020 to July 2021 were followed up prospectively. Patient characteristics and postoperative outcomes, such as number of physiotherapy sessions required before clearance for home, time taken after surgery to ambulate >10 m and length of stay (LOS), were recorded. Patients were grouped based on surgical end time (morning/afternoon/ evening) and time of physiotherapy review (morning/afternoon/evening/morning after). Patients successfully passed ERAS day surgery protocol if they were discharged within 24 h.

Results:

With regard to the timing of operation, the morning group had the shortest LOS (P = 0.001) and a higher ERAS day surgery pass rate than the afternoon group (P = 0.016). With regard to the timing of physiotherapy, the afternoon group took the shortest time to ambulate >10 m (P < 0.001), had the shortest LOS (P < 0.001) and had a higher ERAS day surgery pass rate as compared to the morning after the operation group (P = 0.005).

Conclusion:

Patients who ended their operations in the morning and received physiotherapy review in the same afternoon were the most likely to be discharged within 24 h due to early ambulation and adequate time for spinal anaesthesia to wear off.
Discontinuous solutions for the Navier–Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity
Authors: Zodji Sagbo Marcel
Published: October 2024

We prove the existence of a unique global-in-time weak solution of the Navier–Stokes equations that govern the motion of a compressible viscous fluid with density-dependent viscosity in two-dimensional space. The initial velocity belongs to the Sobolev space

H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{2})

, and the initial fluid density is

\alpha

-Hölder continuous on both sides of a

\mathscr{C}^{1+\alpha}

-regular interface with some geometrical assumption. We prove that this configuration persists over time: the initial interface is transported by the flow to an interface that maintains the same regularity as the initial one. Our result generalizes a previous known result of Hoff [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 55 (2002), 1365–140] and Hoff and Santos [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 188 (2008), 509–543] concerning the propagation of regularity for discontinuity surfaces by allowing a more general non-linear pressure law and density-dependent viscosity. Moreover, it supplements the work by Danchin, Fanelli, and Paicu [Anal. PDE 13 (2020), 275–316] with global-in-time well-posedness, even for density-dependent viscosity, and we achieve uniqueness in a large space.

Integrated Control of Intelligent Vehicle Driving Stability Using
Three-Dimensional Phase Space
Authors: Lai Fei , Xiao Hao , Huang Chaoqun
Published: October 2024

To enhance vehicle dynamic stability during driving, we developed a
three-dimensional phase space model that incorporates the sideslip angle of
center of mass, yaw rate, and lateral load transfer rate. This model enabled
real-time evaluation and active control of vehicle stability. First,
longitudinal and lateral controllers were implemented to ensure precise vehicle
trajectory. Second, a hierarchical control strategy was designed to actively
manage the desired sideslip angle, yaw rate, and roll angle based on the
vehicle’s destabilizing conditions, thereby maintaining the vehicle within a
stable state space. We simulated and tested the stability analysis methods and
integrated control strategies for both cars and trucks under DLC (double lane
change) and CDC (circular driving condition) scenarios using joint simulations
with CarSim/TruckSim and Simulink. The proposed integrated stability control
strategy, which combined MPC-based trajectory tracking with direct yaw moment
control and active suspension control, enhanced the vehicle’s directional and
roll stability. This approach effectively mitigated vehicle instability under
extreme conditions. Compared to the MPC lateral tracking control system, the
performance of the integrated control system was significantly improved. In the
DLC scenario, the maximum values of the sedan’s lateral deviation, sideslip
angle, yaw rate, and vehicle roll angle decreased by 22.6%, 33.9%, 5.5%, and
1.2%, respectively. In the CDC scenario, the truck’s lateral acceleration,
sideslip angle, yaw rate, and vehicle roll angle decreased by 7.5%, 46.8%, 8.2%,
and 80%, respectively. Additionally, open-loop simulation tests were conducted
under fishhook steering conditions for both passenger cars and trucks. The
results further validated the effectiveness of the integrated control strategy,
demonstrating its ability to significantly improve yaw rate and roll response,
thereby enhancing overall vehicle stability under challenging driving
conditions.
Assessment of Electric Engine Failures Leading to LOPC
Authors:   E-40 Electrified Propulsion Committee
Published: October 2024

This document proposes a method to demonstrate compliance to engine certification rules requiring tolerance of the control system to single failures leading to Loss of Power Control (LOPC) or Loss of Thrust Control (LOTC) for electric or hybrid engines. At issue 1, the document was developed to address only fully electric engine configurations targeting single engine CS/part 23 level 1 and 2 aircraft applications.

The methodology proposed herein is based on an alternative definition of Loss of Power Control (LOPC) proposed by EASA, the FAA, TCCA, and ANAC in a joint Decision Document. It is therefore only applicable to projects which elect to implement this authority-proposed alternative definition. Other approaches for the demonstration of compliance of electric engines to control system single fault tolerance requirements, including approaches based on legacy practices applicable to piston engines, remain possible. They are, however, outside of the scope of this document.

Future issues of this report are expected to provide additional guidance for the application of the proposed method to other engine and aircraft applications.
Systems Design Engineering: A Holistic Requirements-led Approach to Concept Design
Authors: Genter David Paul
Published: October 2024

Many organizations are falling far short of achieving the lifecycle potential of
their new product designs. One major source of this suboptimal business
performance stems from underleveraging key Systems Engineering and Design
Engineering principles in the early phases of the design process. If these are
being poorly applied, the following will likely occur:

Inefficient use of engineering (and other
cross-functional)
resources

Unnecessarily high product
development costs

Delayed
time-to-market

Subpar launch
quality

Poor system-level
safety

Suboptimal lifecycle
sustainability-related

This report addresses these challenges and articulates how an integrated approach
of “Systems Design Engineering” provides nonburdensome and quickly applied
methods for overcoming these shortcomings, placing a dedicated focus on the
three high-level principles that govern lifecycle product design success:
1
Holistically understanding
the needs and opportunities of a
system

2
Efficient
development of system-level design concepts with best-in-class
potential

3
System-level

John Paget s Memorandum: Hungary and Transylvania in 1836
Authors: erkek mehmet şerif
Published: October 2024

From the renowned poet Lord Byron, who lost his life fighting for the Greeks during their War of
Independence, to David Urquhart, one of the most prominent defenders of the Turks in Europe, many
Englishmen volunteered for various causes throughout the 19th century. Among these individuals was
John Paget, a member of an established English family. After meeting his future wife, the Hungarian
Baroness Polixena Wesselényi, in Rome, Paget traveled extensively through Hungary and Transylvania
before eventually settling in Transylvania, where he endeavored to contribute to the region's
development. However, what keeps Paget's legacy alive in Hungary today is not his contributions to
local development but rather his travelogue, Hungary and Transylvania, in which he documented his
journeys between 1835 and 1837. The foundation of this work emerged in 1836 when Paget met Lord
John Ponsonby, the British Ambassador to Istanbul; at Ponsonby’s request, Paget prepared a
memorandum to provide the ambassador with updated insights on the lesser-known regions of the
Austrian Empire. Notably, this memorandum included matters of particular interest to Ponsonby that
were not addressed in his travel book. This study aims to transcribe Paget's memorandum, which holds
significance for Hungarian history, and to elucidate the historical context in which it was composed.

Experiment was conducted to determine the influence of marination length using evaporated roselle extract (Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn) on microbiological aspects of beef se’i. The completly randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments 4 replicates was applied in this experiment. Those treatments were P0 marination length of 12 hours without roselle extract; P1 marination length 6 hours with 5% roselle extract; P2 marination length 12 hours with 5% roselle extract, and P3 marination length 18 hours with 5% roselle extract. The parameters measured were pH, moisture, water activity and total plate count. Data compilled were analyzed using variance analysis and Duncan’s multiple range test. The result of analysis showed that pH and moisture of beef se’i significantly affected by marination length using evaporated roselle extract (P<0.05) but no significant (P>0.05) on water activity and total plate count. It was concluded that beef se’i produced through the marination process with different lengths of time (6, 12 and 18 hours) using evaporated rosela extract, showed characteristics of decreased pH, increased water content with high water activity and total plate count tended to decrease. The best marination length of this study was 12 hours using rosela extract.

Published: October 2024

Ischemic stroke is an abnormality of central nervous system function in which blood flow decreases significantly, causing hypoxia. This systemic hypoxemia should be avoided; therefore oxygen saturation is monitored in the acute phase. One of the interventions that can be done in order to increase oxygen supply is by deep breathing exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of deep breathing exercise therapy to increase oxygen saturation on patients with ischemic stroke. This study is a quasi-experimental study with one group pre-posttest design that has been implemented in the neural room of RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang with a sample of 16 patients with ischemic stroke who have fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Data was collected directly by measuring oxygen saturation of patients with ischemic stroke before and after a deep breathing exercise intervention. The data were processed by computer and analyzed as univariate and bivariate. Normality test results show the data is not normally distributed so that the analysis used is non-parametric test by using Wilcoxon test. The results showed that deep breathing exercise therapy was effective in increasing oxygen saturation level of patients with ischemic stroke with p = 0,000 so it can be recommended that this therapy can be used as one of the nursing interventions on patients with ischemic stroke to increase the oxygen saturation level.

Sexual violence constitutes a worldwide concern that jeopardizes individual security and integrity while eroding the social and moral fabric of society. When perpetrated by religious leaders, the issue becomes more intricate due to the exploitation of power, trust, and elevated social status. These leaders, expected to serve as moral exemplars, become offenders of crimes that infringe upon human rights. Legislators have established many laws and regulations, with the provisions controlling sexual violence delineated in Law Number 12 of 2022. However, there are still many cases of sexual violence against children both in the education environment and in society in Indonesia, especially those that occur in the Aru Maluku Islands Regency. The problem encountered is why there is an inequality in criminal law enforcement against children as victims of sexual violence committed by religious leaders?. This research aims to analyze the legal protection of victims of sexual violence committed by religious leaders. The research findings indicate a necessity for legal and policy reform, emphasizing that sanctions imposed on perpetrators of sexual violence who are religious leaders must be stringent to prevent the perception of legal immunity due to their religious status. So it is recommended that the government revise the law to remove legal immunity for religious leaders.

Dalam rangka mewujudkan ketahanan dan kedaulatan pangan perlu diselenggarakan pembangunan pertanian berkelanjutan. Lahan pertanian memiliki peran dan fungsi strategis bagi masyarakat desa Silian kecamatan Silian Raya karena terdapat sejumlah besar penduduknya yang menggantungkan hidup pada sektor pertanian. Berdasarkan data BPS Minahasa Tenggara tahun 2021, terjadi penurunan luas lahan padi sawah di Silian Raya sebesar dari 1040,50 ha berkurang menjadi 971,50 ha. Jika alih fungsi lahan produktif terus dilakukan, bisa mengancam ketahanan pangan masyarakat di wilayah ini. Selain itu kehilangan lahan pertanian cenderung diikuti dengan hilangnya mata pencaharian petani yang dapat menimbulkan pengangguran bertambah dan akhirnya memicu masalah sosial lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi masyarakat terhadap dampak lingkungan guna mencegah alih fungsi lahan pertanian Menurut Undang-Undang No. 41 Tahun 2009. Untuk mencegah peralihan fungsi lahan pertanian ke penggunaan lahan bukan pertanian, maka diperlukan suatu instrumen pengendalian berupa strategi pengendalian perubahan fungsi kegiatan lahan pertanian di daerah ini. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut maka diperlukan gambaran mengenai pola alih fungsi lahan pertanian melalui persepsi masyarakat desa Silian. Selain itu, identifikasi fator-faktor pendorong terjadinya alih fungsi lahan sawah juga dilakukan melalui FGD. Sehingga hasil tersebut diharapkan dapat memberikan strategi untuk mengendalikan alih fungsi lahan pertanian secara tepat dan komprehensif di lokasi peneitian. Menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif yaitu penelitian yang berfokus pada norma atau per undang-undangan (Law in book) atau penelitian hukum dengan melakukan abstraksi melalui proses deduksi dan memerlukan data sekunder sebagai bahan primer. Peneliti menggunakan studi kasus yang memfokuskan penelitiannya pada permasalahan hukum yang terjadi di suatu lokasi yaitu desa Silian Kecamatan Silian Raya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 45,95% masyarakat tidak setuju bahwa alih fungsi lahan pertanian di desa berdampak merusak lingkungan lahan pertanian, 64,86% masyarakat setuju untuk perlunya undang-undang yang mengatur tentang alih fungsi lahan pertanian, 40,54% masyarakat setuju bahwa alih fungsi lahan pertanian di desa bermanfaat bagi pembangunan desa, 32,43% masyarakat setuju bahwa alih fungsi lahan pertanian di desa bermanfaat menaikkan pendapatan petani, dan 40,54% masyarakat tidak setuju bahwa alih fungsi lahan pertanian di desa menurunkan kesjahteraan petani. Dari hasil penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa alih fungsi lahan pertanian di desa Silian kecamatan Silian Raya dapat dilakukan karena membawa dampak positif bagi usaha dan kesejahteraan petani.
