Emotional and Aesthetic Values as Basis for Popularity of TV Programs: Contrastive-Comparative Experience
Authors: Radiontseva E. S.
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the problem of identifying the competitive advantages of journalistic TV works. The analysis technique is based on a comparison of the format-forming features of two TV programs that are similar in terms of display subject, subject matter, functions, genres, and other features. The issues of current trends in the television industry are considered. The author focuses on the specifics of the development of criminal journalism on Russian television. The material of a comparative analysis of the programs “The investigation was conducted ...” with Leonid Kanevsky (NTV) and “Legends of the Soviet detective” (TK “Zvezda”) did not become the subject of wide study, despite the rather long existence of the projects. It is argued that due to the fact that on domestic television today there are a large number of programs that are largely identical in terms of format-forming features, it becomes important to understand the benefits that further provide the viewer’s attention and the rating of the TV channel. It is shown that a comparative analysis allows understanding the needs of the audience, based on which in the future it is possible to model the conceptual features of programs. It is concluded that journalistic projects develop according to the laws of marketing: those products that have the following advantages are “sold” more successfully: emotional values, functions unusual for journalism, art values, etc.
Doctoral Dissertation in Soviet Dissertation System: Experience of Defenses in 1930s — Early 1940s
Authors: Alevras N. N. , Grishina N. V.
Published: April 2022

The process of formation of the Soviet dissertation system (1920 — early 1940s) is considered. Attention is paid to the discussion of the degree of doctor of science in the 1920s, as well as the status of the doctoral dissertation in the regulations of the 1930s. It is hypothesized that the Soviet dissertation system grew out of the pre-revolutionary experience of awarding scientific degrees, but in the process of its formation it developed its own specific rituals. The hypothesis was tested on the example of dissertation disputes by M. D. Priselkov and A. I. Andreev — historians, whose entry into the scientific community began in the pre-Soviet period, and the achievement of the highest academic degree of Doctor of Science occurred at the turn of the 1930s—1940s. An assessment of the degree of continuity/gap of the Soviet dissertation system in relation to the pre-revolutionary experience has been carried out. The conclusion is drawn that the content of the disputes in the pre-war period was focused on the prerevolutionary traditions of the university system. It is argued that the scientific component of dissertation disputes at that time determined their atmosphere and content of discussions. The authors believe that the detailed transcripts of dissertation defenses in the Soviet era are an underestimated source for studying the Soviet dissertation system.
Right-Wing Political Movements in Russia at Beginning of 20th Century: Relation to Armed Forces
Authors: Ivanov A. A.
Published: April 2022

The attitude of Russian right-wing parties and unions to the problems of combat readiness, recruitment, organization, training and education of the contingent of the armed forces of the Russian Empire is considered. Attention is paid to the place of the armed forces in the program settings of right-wing political movements, to the identification and interpretation by the Black Hundreds and nationalists of crisis phenomena in the army and navy, their attitude to the politicization of command staff. Particular attention is paid to the attitude of the right to the issues of modernization of the army and navy. New sources are being introduced into scientific circulation, allowing a more complete picture of the views of the right on the country’s armed forces. It is noted that the right saw in the armed forces not only a guarantor of the security, sovereignty and power of the empire, protection from external and internal enemies, but also the most important institution designed to preserve and transmit military traditions, which for the Black Hundreds and nationalists were inextricably linked with loyalty to Orthodoxy, autocracy and Russian people. It is shown that monarchism, conservatism, nationalism and anti-Semitism, characteristic of the right, are also reflected in their views on the armed forces.
National Elections of governors in Context of Transformation of Federal Relations in Post-Soviet Russia (Early 1990s — Mid-2000s)
Authors: Markov R. S.
Published: April 2022

The features of the formation and conduct of direct nation-wide elections of senior officials (governors, heads of administrations, presidents) of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the reasons for their temporary cancellation are considered. The relevance of the study is due to the significant influence of gubernatorial election campaigns (however, as well as the subsequent abolition of electivity) on the formation of the domestic political system, new democratic institutions and federal relations in Russia at the turn of 1990—2000. In preparing the article, a large array of regulatory and judicial documents and statistical data was used, which makes it possible to comprehensively characterize the process of applying the provisions of the electoral legislation and the trends in the development of the electoral system. It was found that the regions were more willing to defend the election of governors, while the federal center, declaring its commitment to democratic reforms, made efforts to slow down the decentralization of state power. The transition to widespread direct elections in the second half of the 1990s, in the face of the weakness of the central state apparatus, contributed to the strengthening of the political positions of regional leaders. The conclusion is substantiated that the reforms of the federal center in the first half of the 2000s, aimed at strengthening the “vertical of power”, strengthening federal control, compromising the institution of gubernatorial elections with falsifications and the use of aggressive political technologies led to a relatively quick cancellation of popular elections, which was met with restraint by the elites and the population.

Significant difference was found in terms of gender, physical exercise, meditation for the severity of depression, anxiety and stress. Females reported more severe depression and stress. Physical exercise and meditation were found to be having a positive impact on the mental health of the students.Conclusion:The lockdown has negatively affected the mental health of medical students in terms of increased depression, anxiety, stress among them.
Wissenstransfer: Eine wissenschaftstheoretische Problemskizze
Authors: Thiel Corrie , Rott David
Published: April 2022

Der Artikel setzt sich aus wissenschaftstheoretischer Perspektive mit dem der deutschsprachigen erziehungswissenschaftlichen Transferforschung unterliegenden Transfermodell auseinander, das als Stundenglasmodell beschreibbar ist. Das Modell wird skizziert und vor dem Hintergrund wissenschaftstheoretischer Prämissen analytisch-deskriptiver Forschung und pragmatistischer Aktionsforschung problematisiert. Aus keiner dieser Perspektiven kann von einer Rationalisierung pädagogischer Praxis durch wissenschaftliches Wissen ausgegangen werden. Ausblickend wird vorgeschlagen, verstärkt auf alternative Transfermodelle zu fokussieren und für diese Modelle mittels Design-Based-Research-Projekten zu prüfen, ob sich überzeugende Begründungslinien für die Notwendigkeit von Wissenstransfer finden lassen.
Generalist*in oder Spezialist*in? Über Dichotomien im Diskurs der Bildung. Ein Essay
Authors: Reichenbach Roland
Published: April 2022

Der Anlass der Betrachtungen sind die wenig triftigen Gründe, mit denen – scheinbar „begrifflich“ – zwischen allgemeiner und besonderer Bildung unterschieden wird. Die phänomenale Welt ist nicht in allgemeine Gegenstände einerseits und besondere Gegenstände andererseits unterteilt. Diese begriffsanalytische Trennung, die ihre Erkenntnisfunktion sicher vorweisen kann, verleitet gleichzeitig zur wenig plausiblen Ansicht, das Amalgam der Bildung und des Bildungsprozesses sei in seine Momente unterteilbar. Angesichts der sozialen, politischen, ökonomischen, rechtlichen, individuell-biographischen und ästhetischen Konsequenzen bzw. Wirkungen solcher Trennungen und den damit verbundenen Denkgewohnheiten ist es bildungsphilosophisch gefordert, wenig reflektierte Alternativlosigkeiten zu befragen.
Die «profilierte» Lehrperson: eine konzeptionelle Antwort auf berufsimmanente Widersprüche
Authors: Fuchs Michael , Herzog Silvio
Published: April 2022

Die Frage, wie Grundschullehrpersonen qualifiziert werden müssen, wird in diesem Beitrag ausgehend von einer Analyse ihrer Aufgaben und der Rahmenbedingungen an Grundschulen diskutiert. Erkennbar wird insgesamt ein Widerspruch zwischen der für die Lehrtätigkeit notwendigen Polyvalenz und der für die Professionalisierung und die Qualität des Unterrichts erforderlichen Spezialisierung. Mit dem Ansatz der «profilierten» Lehrperson wird auf der konzeptionellen Ebene ein Zugang präsentiert, der die berufsimmanenten Widersprüche des Lehrberufs aufnimmt. Die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen erfordern eine stärker berufsbiografisch ausgerichtete Qualifikation, eine intensivierte Verzahnung von Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung und Entwicklungen im Schulfeld sowie eine Erhöhung der Evidenzbasierung zukunftweisender und mutiger Reformen.
Surgical aortic valve replacement for low-gradient aortic stenosis
Authors: Brega Carlotta , Calvi Simone , Pin Maurizio , Anderlucci Laura , Falcone Roberta , Albertini Alberto
Published: April 2022

Aims

Low-gradient aortic stenosis is a challenging entity that needs accurate preoperative evaluation. For this high-risk patient population, ad hoc predictive scores are not available and profile risk is currently revealed by the EuroSCOREs. Aims of this study are to verify the suitability of the ES II as predictor of mortality in low-gradient aortic stenosis and to analyse the role of surgery as a treatment.

Methods

From June 2013 to August 2019, 414 patients underwent surgical aortic valve replacement for low-gradient aortic stenosis. Mean age was 75.78 ± 6.77 years and 190 were women. The prognostic value of Logistic EuroSCORE and EuroSCORE II were compared by receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis.

Results

In-hospital, 30-day and 1-year mortality rates were respectively 3.4, 2.9 and 4.8% (14, 12 and 20 patients over 414). In-hospital mortality risk calculated by the Additive EuroSCORE was 7.2 ± 2.7%, by the Logistic EuroSCORE was 9 ± 5.2% and by the ES II was 4.13 ± 2.56%. The prognostic values of the EuroSCORE II and of the EuroSCORE were analysed in a ROC curve analysis for the prediction of in-hospital mortality [area under the curve (AUC): 0.62 vs. 0.58], 30-day mortality (AUC: 0.63 vs. 0.64) and 1-year mortality (AUC: 0.79 vs. 0.65). Both scores did not show significant differences with the only exception of 1-year mortality, for which EuroSCORE II had a better predictive ability than the Logistic EuroSCORE (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

In low-gradient aortic stenosis undergoing surgery, the EuroSCORE II is a strong predictor of 1-year mortality.
Appropriateness criteria for the use of cardiac computed tomography, SIC-SIRM part 2: acute chest pain evaluation; stent and coronary artery bypass graft patency evaluation; planning of coronary revascularization and transcatheter valve procedures; cardiomyopathies, electrophysiological applications, cardiac masses, cardio-oncology and pericardial diseases evaluation

In the past 20 years, cardiac computed tomography (CCT) has become a pivotal technique for the noninvasive diagnostic workup of coronary and cardiac diseases. Continuous technical and methodological improvements, combined with fast growing scientific evidence, have progressively expanded the clinical role of CCT. Randomized clinical trials documented the value of CCT in increasing the cost-effectiveness of the management of patients with acute chest pain presenting in the emergency department, also during the pandemic. Beyond the evaluation of stents and surgical graft patency, the anatomical and functional coronary imaging have the potential to guide treatment decision-making and planning for complex left main and three-vessel coronary disease. Furthermore, there has been an increasing demand to use CCT for preinterventional planning in minimally invasive procedures, such as transcatheter valve implantation and mitral valve repair. Yet, the use of CCT as a roadmap for tailored electrophysiological procedures has gained increasing importance to assure maximum success. In the meantime, innovations and advanced postprocessing tools have generated new potential applications of CCT from the simple coronary anatomy to the complete assessment of structural, functional and pathophysiological biomarkers of cardiac disease. In this complex and revolutionary scenario, it is urgently needed to provide an updated guide for the appropriate use of CCT in different clinical settings. This manuscript, endorsed by the Italian Society of Cardiology (SIC) and the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM), represents the second of two consensus documents collecting the expert opinion of cardiologists and radiologists about current appropriate use of CCT.
CHALLENGES OF CIVIC PARTICIPATION AT EU – LEVEL

EUROPEAN CITIZENS’ INITIATIVE
Authors: DRUGĂU-CONSTANTIN Andreea Ligia , ANGHEL-SIENERTH Andra Karla
Published: April 2022

One key factor in achieving the modernization both of a country and of a supra-national organization is to have
functional mechanisms that facilitate the participation of citizens. This paper aims to explore the efficacy of the European
Citizens’ Initiative and its development during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study begins with the theoretical framework
covering both several theories on the topic of civic engagement and the legislation ensuring the functioning of the European
Citizens’ Initiative. It continues with an analysis of the initiatives that were submitted to conclude if the mechanism is
successful. The case study focuses on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on both the functioning of this mechanism
and on the characteristics of the proposed initiatives. The article does not study the impact of the approved initiatives or
the relevance of their subject; it only analyses the success rate of this mechanism in terms of approval and the effects of
the pandemic on the procedure and on the specificity of the initiatives
TOWARDS A RESILIENT
AND SUSTAINABLE EMERGING ROMANIA
Authors: MARCHIS Gabriela
Published: April 2022

A bold future requires a generation of leaders who will look for solutions together in order to reach the EU goals
for the 2021-2027 programming period, faster and more effectively. The scope of this paper is to raise awareness that a
new transformational approach for emerging Romania is required in order to take advantage of the opportunities offered
by the quick EU response to the pandemic crisis and the EU’s traditional financial support for its member states. This
paper used a desk-research analysis of EU documents. Investments, funds, and financing available for Romania in the
2021-2027 programming period should be used wisely in order to contribute to the country's sustainable growth. Multilevel
governance and coordination are the key factors to foster sustainable growth and the implementation of environmental,
social, and governance practices. A positive change within the framework of new financing opportunities for the 2021-
2027 programming period is possible, only if leaders from different levels of governance collaborate, create, and share
best practice on different topics of general interest in order to foster the social, economic, and democratic growth in
Romania, achieving in this way the economic convergence with the western half of EU. The predictability of the politicosocial climate is a must, as well for business environment and also for investors, if the aim is to build a Romania that offers
a secure, prosperous and inclusive future to all its citizens.
BIM approaches for enhanced health and safety status in construction - protocol for a systematic review
Authors: Sidani Adeeb , Poças Martins João , Soeiro Alfredo
Published: April 2022

The construction industry is complex, dynamic, multicultural, and full of diverse activities and dangerous machinery. Many accidents occur because of limiting factors, such as safety and health culture, requirements, poor training of workers, and the restricted technologies implemented to prevent, plan, and monitor risks. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is recognised to enhance project management, planning, and inspection, reduce time and costs, strengthen collaboration, and decrease risks and accidents. A wide array of BIM-based tools and technologies with various functionalities are being investigated to enhance construction workers' health and safety. Among such technologies and methods are tracking devices, Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), automated rule checking, risk identification and Artificial Intelligence (AI). A systematic review following PRISMA Statement is proposed, aiming to investigate the current BIM-based technologies and evaluate effectiveness and usability within the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) industry to enhance occupational health and safety status. Consequently, this PRISMA Protocol (PRISMA-P) represents a complementary document to the systematic review that will be developed. Related articles will be gathered from top electronic databases in construction, safety, and health fields. Moreover, the literature review will focus on the BIM and associated technologies utilised in the AECO sector, exploring the construction fields, targeted groups and the system architectures developed. Likewise, examine the evaluation methods of the implemented tools to assess each technology's effectiveness. Finally, after stating the limitations of each study, the article will propose a safety and health framework involving the most efficient tools involving the whole project lifecycle.
Toxic exposure in a clinical pathology laboratory as a potential occupational hazard causing small fibre neuropathy
Authors: Siow Isabel , Yee Cheun Chan , Ng Kay , Vijayan Joy , Ng Alison , Ong Jonathan , Mak Anslem , Chan Amanda
Published: April 2022

Introduction. Small fibre neuropathy (SFN) is a heterogeneous condition involving the thinly-myelinated Aδ and unmyelinated C-fibres, characterised by pain and altered temperature sensation and perception. Toxins such as alcohol and chemotherapeutic agents are known causes of SFN, with research into other toxic aetiologies well underway. Pathologists are routinely exposed to a variety of organic solvents, such as xylene, acetone and methanol, which potentially lead to the development of SFN.

Methods. We performed a retrospective review of all pathologists who were treated at the SFN clinic in our hospital between January 2020 and May 2021. Their clinical presentation, disease course, treatment and outcomes were described.

Results. Three patients with SFN were identified. These patients experienced somatic symptoms of SFN such as burning pain, paraesthesia and autonomic symptoms including tachycardia and postural hypotension. Normal nerve conduction studies indicated intact large nerve fibres. Abnormal SFN tests including quantitative sensory testing, quantitative sudomotor axonal testing, and tilt table testing contributed to the diagnosis of SFN. Inflammatory and autoimmune markers were raised in two of the three pathologists. Toxicology screens performed later were negative, possibly indicating that blood solvent concentrations had decreased to undetectable levels over time. Administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) resulted in an improvement in symptoms and functional outcomes.

Conclusion. Chronic exposure to organic solvents in the routine job scope of pathologists may lead to the development of SFN. Awareness of this hazard is imperative in order to ensure occupational safety.
On occupational safety management in construction alliance projects
Authors: Salomäki Marko , Reiman Arto , Haapasalo Harri
Published: April 2022

Construction work is one of the most hazardous industries worldwide. Accidents, incidents, injuries, occupational diseases, and illnesses at work represent a significant burden for various stakeholders, including society. Different project management approaches have been introduced to facilitate construction work and occupational safety (OS) in practice. This study focuses on OS in construction alliance projects. Alliances are an emerging new form of a project delivery method in construction. In construction alliance projects, the project stakeholders collaborate with mutual interest to achieve the best result for the entire project. Alliance projects are a relatively new mode of project deliveries in construction. A systematic literature review was conducted using Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed—to learn how OS has been acknowledged in alliance projects. The literature review shows the scarcity of research in this area. To in-depth the review, personal interviews were conducted at two large alliance projects in Finland. Interviews bring out the complex nature of OS management in alliances and highlight issues related to partner selection and site-specific OS management within alliances. This study deepens the very limited scientific knowledge of OS in alliance projects. By drawing together the existing knowledge on the topic, new insights are provided on developing OS management in alliance projects. In addition, several new arenas for novel empirical research in the field of OS in construction and the alliance context are proposed.

Published: April 2022

This study aims to optimize the temperature and time of the delignification process to isolate cellulose from corn cobs. The research was carried out in stages, namely preparing corn cob powder samples and the delignification process. Statistical regression modeling and optimization of the temperature and time of the delignification process used the response surface (RSM) methodology. Central Composite Design (CCD) was used for experimental design and analysis of the effect of temperature and time of the delignification process on lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and fiber yields. The optimum process conditions were determined using the desirability method. The analysis of the diversity of the quadratic polynomial model shows that the temperature and time of the deligninification process significantly affect changes in the characteristics of lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and fiber yields. The optimal condition of the corncob fiber delignification process was obtained at a temperature of 100.38? for 79.17 minutes. It produced the characteristics of delignified fiber with lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and yields of 6.47%, 73.73%, 5, respectively. 39% and 57.76% w/w. The optimization model is valid with a desirability value of 0.71. Thus, the temperature and time optimization model of the delignification process can be applied in real conditions to produce delignified corncob fiber with optimum characteristics.

Published: April 2022

В статье публикуется подборка погребений эпохи энеолита – бронзы с территории Северного Кавказа и Северного Причерноморья, в которых найдены остатки/следы головных уборов. Проводится сравнение с металлическими находками с Балкан и Ближнего Востока. Предлагается интерпретация находок как маркеров высокого социального статуса погребенных. Находки деталей и следов головных уборов свидетельствуют, что развитие общества энеолита – бронзового века шло в направлении усложнения структуры. Иерархическая, вертикальная структура социума получала преобладание над половозрастной, о чем свидетельствуют находки символически значимых головных уборов во взрослых и детских захоронениях. Парадные головные уборы отражают сходные процессы, происходившие на широкой территории в обществах разного типа, находящихся на разных стадиях развития – от цивилизаций Ближнего Востока до подвижных скотоводческих племен Северного Причерноморья и Предкавказья. Разница в уровне социального и экономического развития вызывала явление имитации ценных роскошных предметов (металлических диадем) в доступном материале (кость, краска).

Published: April 2022

La demanda actual de recursos hídricos está aumentando en todo el mundo; además, el 70% del agua utilizada se invierte en producción agrícola. Así, muchas investigaciones se centran en aplicar indicadores para evaluar el consumo de agua e identificar otros indicadores, como la huella hídrica. El propósito de este artículo es estimar el consumo de agua (L/kg) para la producción de racimos de fruta fresca (RFF) a escala subregional (Piedemonte Llanero de Colombia) como herramienta que contribuye a la toma de decisiones. La demanda de huella hídrica se estimó utilizando el Estándar Global para la Evaluación de la Huella Hídrica. Entre los resultados relevantes, el 71% del agua utilizada correspondió a la huella hídrica verde, y la subregión Piedemonte Llanero tiene ventajas comparativas con otras regiones debido a su clima, lo que la hace apta para el desarrollo de este cultivo.
SOME REMARKS ON SLAVE-SELLERS’ LIABILITY UNDER ROMAN LAW
Authors: Sukačić Marko
Published: April 2022

This article discusses the matter of the liability of professional slave-sellers for non-disclosure of a material defect to the buyer under Roman law. After first examining the professional sellers’ representation and image as reported in the relevant sources, the article reviews the material defects of slaves for sale through the lens of jurists’ and other relevant authors’ discussion on morbus et vitium, and how the two relate to the sellers’ claims in regard to the slaves they are selling. Next, the article provides an overview of the buyer’s legal protection in the event of a found defect or false advertising, specifically in the form of actio redhibitoria. By analyzing legal and other relevant ancient Roman sources, this article probes the fine line between allowable sales talks and legally binding sales promises on a number of peculiar slave sale contracts under Roman law. Lastly, the article argues which party to the sale contract had the less favorable position in terms of carrying the risk of the unintentionally undisclosed material defects in the classical Roman law and explores the point at which the limits to advertising end and the seller’s liablity begins.

Objectives:

Sudan IV dye (S4D), has been reported to enhance the color of food products example palm oil, despite the health issues associated with these colorants. The potent antioxidant attribute of Curcuma longa facilitates its capacity to protect the kidney against deleterious attacks by free radicals. This study investigated the rejuvenating potentials of the extract of C. longa by S4D induced hepato-renal injury in rats.

Material and Methods:

Twenty-five female albino rats were distributed into five groups, as follows: Group 1 received distilled water and diet only, Group 2 received 10% S4D+100 mg C.L, Group 3 received 15% S4D +100 mg C.L, while Groups 4 and 5 received 200 mg and 250 mg C.L, respectively. After 3 weeks of administration of Curcuma treatment, animals were sacrificed; liver, kidney, and small intestine were collected for analyses. Aspartate and alanine aminotransferases, gamma-glutamyl transferase, glutathione-s-transferase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as some selected electrolytes were measured.

Results:

Results show that treatment with 200 mg and 250 mg/kg significantly (P < 0.05) rejuvenated these enzyme biomarkers while modulating the physiological levels of the serum electrolytes and kidney markers.

Conclusion:

C. longa exhibited a significant antioxidant potential that sustain the cells from the effect of S4D toxicity. Hence, the results indicate a possible ameliorative mechanism of the plant extract against S4D- induced hepato-renal injury. Therefore, the inclusion of C. longa into our daily diet might limit the effect of the hepato-renal injury.

Published: April 2022

Objectives:

The objectives of the study were to assess the visual outcome of those who underwent free cataract surgery in southern senatorial zone of Kaduna State between September and November 2018, and to identify the causes of poor visual outcome (Visual acuity [VA] <6/60 Post op), suggest ways of improving it and comparing findings of this study with other studies.

Materials and Methods:

An observational study of consecutive patients with dense cataracts and VA >6/60 who underwent manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) with intraocular lens implant (IOL). All patients had posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implant after cataract extraction except 6 who had anterior chamber intraocular lens. A total of 116 eyes of 116 patients who met the inclusion criteria were recruited for the study but only 109 were followed up for 8 weeks postoperatively. Their VA pre-operative was noted. Postoperatively, 1st day, 1,and 8 weeks presenting VA were noted while best corrected VA (BCVA) at 1 week and 8 weeks were also noted. Information collected was analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 19. A 95% significant confidence interval was used, that is, P < 0.05.

Results:

Age range of patients in this study was 40–80 years with a male to female ratio of 1.02:1. All patients presented pre-operatively with poor vision (VA >6/60) but after surgery 27.3%, 42.2%, and 56.6% of patients had good vision (VA 6/6–6/18) on 1st day, 1 week, and 8 weeks post-operatively, respectively, with a BCVA in 75.6% of study population. Complications such as corneal edema, posterior capsule rent, iris tear, cortical remnants, and uncorrected residual refractive errors contributed to poor visual outcome (VA <6/60) 8 weeks after surgery.

Conclusion:

MSICS was effective in restoring visual loss from cataract. Even though the WHO standard was not achieved in this study, provision of required technology for pre-operative preparation and post-operative follow-up along with improvement in surgical techniques will improve visual outcome after cataract surgery.

Published: April 2022

Background:

Anxiety is a common symptom of mental health disorders. Surgical treatment of anxiety-related disorders is limited by our understanding of the neural circuitry responsible for emotional regulation. Limbic regions communicate with other cortical and subcortical regions to generate emotional responses and behaviors toward anxiogenic stimuli. Epilepsy involving corticolimbic regions may disrupt normal neural circuitry and present with mood disorders. Anxiety presenting in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy is common; however, anxiety in patients with cingulate epilepsy is not well described. Neurosurgical cases with rare clinical presentations may provide insight into the basic functionality of the human mind and ultimately lead to improvements in surgical treatments.

Case Description:

We present the case of a 24-year-old male with a 20-year history of nonlesional and cingulate epilepsy with an aura of anxiety and baseline anxiety. Noninvasive work-up was discordant. Intracranial evaluation using stereoelectroencephalography established the epileptogenic zone in the left anterior and mid-cingulate gyrus. Stimulation of the cingulate reproduced a sense of anxiety typical of the habitual auras. We performed laser interstitial thermal therapy of the left anterior and mid-cingulate gyrus. At 8 months following ablation, the patient reported a substantial reduction in seizure frequency and complete elimination of his baseline anxiety and anxious auras.

Conclusion:

This case highlights the role of the cingulate cortex (CC) in regulating anxiety. Ablation of the epileptic focus resolved both epilepsy-related anxiety and baseline features.a Future studies assessing the role of the CC in anxiety disorders may enable improvements in surgical treatments for anxiety disorders.
