Who I Am: Mapping the Reciprocity between Identity Gaps and Interpersonal Relationships in Kartography
Authors: Arshad Faheem , Nawaz Nimra , Kakepoto Inayatullah
Published: February 2022

This study aims to explore the notion of identity from a post-modernist perspective in the novel,‘Kartography’ by Kamila Shamsie. The concept of identity and its multifarious uptakes in varied fields of study have been revealing to understand the complexity embedded in this notion. The concept of identity and its diverse uptakes in varied study fields reveal the need to know the complexity embedded in this notion. Data of the study were selected from novel passages. Discourse Analysis (DA) and Michael Hecht’s ‘Communication Theory of Identity were used as a theoretical framework for the study.This theory explains the concept of identity from the postmodernist perspective and describes four layers of identity, for instance, personal, relational, enacted, and communal. It examines the personal-relational and personal-enacted identity gaps in the characters of the novel under the study. Findings exhibit that novel characters undergo personal-relational and personal-enacted identity gaps, and these gaps negatively influence their interpersonal relationships. Hence, the inherent fluidity of identity has been demonstrated in novel characters

OBJECTIVE

Traditionally, patients who underwent elective craniotomy for epilepsy surgery are monitored postoperatively in an intensive care unit (ICU) overnight in order to sufficiently respond to potential early postoperative complications. In the present study, the authors investigated the frequency of early postoperative events that entailed ICU monitoring in patients who had undergone elective craniotomy for epilepsy surgery. In a second step, they aimed at identifying pre- and intraoperative risk factors for the development of unfavorable events to distinguish those patients with the need for postoperative ICU monitoring at the earliest possible stage.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective observational cohort study assessing patients with medically intractable epilepsy (n = 266) who had undergone elective craniotomy for epilepsy surgery between 2012 and 2019 at a tertiary care epilepsy center, excluding those patients who had undergone invasive diagnostic approaches and functional hemispherectomy. Postoperative complications were defined as any unfavorable postoperative surgical and/or anesthesiological event that required further ICU therapy within 48 hours following surgery. A multivariate analysis was performed to reveal preoperatively identifiable risk factors for postoperative adverse events requiring an ICU setting.

RESULTS

Thirteen (4.9%) of 266 patients developed early postoperative adverse events that required further postoperative ICU care. The most prevalent event was a return to the operating room because of relevant postoperative intracranial hematoma (5 of 266 patients). Multivariate analysis revealed intraoperative blood loss ≥ 325 ml (OR 6.2, p = 0.012) and diabetes mellitus (OR 9.2, p = 0.029) as risk factors for unfavorable postoperative events requiring ICU therapy.

CONCLUSIONS

The present study revealed routinely collectable risk factors that would allow the identification of patients with an elevated risk of postsurgical complications requiring a postoperative ICU stay following epilepsy surgery. These findings may offer guidance for a stepdown unit admission policy following epilepsy surgical interventions after an external validation of the results.
Impact of salvage surgery for recurrent sinonasal cancers with skull base and intracranial involvement
Authors: Schur Solon E. , Hanna Ehab Y. , Su Shirley Y. , Kupferman Michael E. , DeMonte Franco , Raza Shaan M.
Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE

Patients with recurrent sinonasal cancers (RSNCs) often present with extensive involvement of the skull base and exhibit high rates of subsequent recurrence and death after therapy. The impact of salvage surgery and margin status on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) has yet to be demonstrated. The goal of this study was to determine whether skull base resection with negative margins has an impact on outcomes in the recurrent setting.

METHODS

A retrospective chart review of 47 patients who underwent surgery for RSNC with skull base invasion between November 1993 and June 2020 was conducted. The following variables were extracted from the clinical records: patient demographic characteristics (age and sex), tumor pathology, dural and orbital invasion, and prior radiation exposure and induction chemotherapy. Metastatic disease status, surgical approach, margin status, and history of postoperative chemotherapy and/or postoperative radiation therapy were noted. The primary and secondary outcomes were PFS and OS, respectively.

RESULTS

The cohort included 30 males (63.8%) and 17 females (36.2%), with a mean ± SD age of 54.8 ± 14.4 years. Thirty-five (74.5%) patients showed disease progression, and 29 (61.7%) patients died during the study period. The mean ± SD patient follow-up period was 61.8 ± 64.4 months. Dural invasion was associated with increased risk of death (HR 2.62, 95% CI 1.13–6.08). High-risk histopathology (HR 3.14, 95% CI 1.10–8.95) and induction chemotherapy (HR 2.32, 95% CI 1.07–5.06) were associated with increased odds of disease progression. When compared to patients with positive margins or gross-total resection with unknown margin status, those with negative margins had decreased odds of disease progression (HR 0.30, 95% CI 0.14–0.63) and death (HR 0.38, 95% CI 0.17–0.85).

CONCLUSIONS

RSNCs show high rates of subsequent disease progression and mortality. This study demonstrated that negative margins may be associated with improved PFS and OS in carefully selected patients who have undergone salvage surgery for RSNC.

OBJECTIVE

The object of this study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the management of intracranial chordomas.

METHODS

This retrospective multicenter study involved consecutive patients managed with single-session SRS for an intracranial chordoma at 10 participating centers. Radiological and neurological outcomes were assessed after SRS, and predictive factors were evaluated via statistical methodology.

RESULTS

A total of 93 patients (56 males [60.2%], mean age 44.8 years [SD 16.6]) underwent single-session SRS for intracranial chordoma. SRS was utilized as adjuvant treatment in 77 (82.8%) cases, at recurrence in 13 (14.0%) cases, and as primary treatment in 3 (3.2%) cases. The mean tumor volume was 8 cm3 (SD 7.3), and the mean prescription volume was 9.1 cm3 (SD 8.7). The mean margin and maximum radiosurgical doses utilized were 17 Gy (SD 3.6) and 34.2 Gy (SD 6.4), respectively. On multivariate analysis, treatment failure due to tumor progression (p = 0.001) was associated with an increased risk for post-SRS neurological deterioration, and a maximum dose > 29 Gy (p = 0.006) was associated with a decreased risk. A maximum dose > 29 Gy was also associated with improved local tumor control (p = 0.02), whereas the presence of neurological deficits prior to SRS (p = 0.04) and an age > 65 years at SRS (p = 0.03) were associated with worse local tumor control. The 5- and 10-year tumor progression-free survival rates were 54.7% and 34.7%, respectively. An age > 65 years at SRS (p = 0.01) was associated with decreased overall survival. The 5- and 10-year overall survival rates were 83% and 70%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

SRS appears to be a safe and relatively effective adjuvant management option for intracranial chordomas. The best outcomes were obtained in younger patients without significant neurological deficits. Further well-designed studies are necessary to define the best timing for the use of SRS in the multidisciplinary management of intracranial chordomas.

Authors: Simko Alexander P. , Hudak Mark L. , Han Sabrina H. , Huo Jinhai , Hayward Kelsey , Aldana Philipp R.
Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE

The authors’ objective was to compare the actual cost of a regional pediatric neurosurgery telemedicine clinic (PNTMC) with the estimated cost of a traditional physician-staffed outreach clinic.

METHODS

The authors’ PNTMC was a partnership between the University of Florida College of Medicine–Jacksonville and Georgia Children’s Medical Services to service the population of Georgia’s Southeast Health District. Neurosurgeons based in Jacksonville conducted telemedicine visits with patients located at a remote site in Georgia with the assistance of nursing personnel from Children’s Medical Services. The authors determined the actual annual per-patient costs at the Jacksonville and Georgia sites for fiscal years 2018 (FY18) and 2019 (FY19) and estimated the cost of providing traditional physician-staffed outreach clinics.

RESULTS

During FY18 and FY19, the neurosurgery team conducted an average of 24.5 telemedicine patient encounters per year at a cost of $369 per patient visit. The per-patient cost was 32.5% less than the estimated per-patient cost of $547 at a traditional outreach clinic.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors provided neurosurgical telehealth visits to appropriate patients, with a substantial cost savings per patient visit compared with traditional physician-staffed outreach clinics.

Nowadays, sprouting grain and seeds has become a steady trend in healthy eating. Sprouted crop seeds are called malt. Malt products improve the quality of baked goods and have a health improving effect on the human body. Flaxseeds contain all the macronutrients needed for a healthy diet. The purpose of the work is to obtain flaxseed malt and evaluate its use as an ingredient in flour products. The objects of the research were oilseeds: initial and sprouted, as well as muffins prepared with their use. Germination of seeds was carried out in special trays at a temperature of 18 – 20°C with the addition of water in a ratio of 2:1. The seeds were germinated for 5 days with periodic moistening. The seed germination process was stopped by drying to the required moisture content. There are proposed methods for obtaining various types of malt products from flax seed. The influence of malt products on the quality of muffins was investigated to assess the prospects for the use of flax malt. The positive effect of flax malt is shown on the technological and organoleptic properties when replacing 10% of wheat flour of muffins when carrying out test laboratory baked goods. Malt contains products of limited hydrolysis of polysaccharides, proteins: oligosaccharides, polypeptides, which have high biological activity. The introduction of such additives into the formulation of products increases their saturation with biologically active substances

Management of Nematodes and Soil Fertility with Sunn Hemp Cover Crop
Authors: Grabau Zane Joseph
Published: February 2022

Sunn hemp, Crotalaria juncea L. is a rapidly growing crop used for fiber production in India and Pakistan.
