Published: June 2023

Synchronous tumors of gall bladder and colon cancer are rare, and the underlying genetic, environmental, and immunological factors could play a role in the development of such tumors. Till date, only a few cases of synchronous gall bladder and colonic malignancies have been reported. A 60-year-old lady presented with sub-acute onset of colicky pain in the abdomen and vomiting. Imaging showed the presence of thickening in the ileocecal junction along with a thickened gall bladder. A provisional diagnosis of gall bladder tumour with ileocecal tuberculosis or a synchronous colonic malignancy was made. Laparotomy revealed synchronous tumors in the gall bladder and caecum. Radical cholecystectomy with radical right hemicolectomy was performed. The final histopathology report confirmed the presence of two independent malignancies. A tailored treatment approach for both sites based on clinical findings and anticipated outcomes must be considered. Further immunohistochemical studies must be conducted to confirm the presence of dual malignancies. Metastases from one site to the other should be ruled out.

Authors: Young Karen C. , Poylin Vitaliy
Published: June 2023

Background:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, routine maintenance including endoscopies were postponed for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The effects of delaying endoscopies on IBD outcomes are currently unknown.

Objectives:

This study aimed to evaluate effects of delayed endoscopies on IBD patients.

Design:

Retrospective study.

Patient and Methods:

review of all IBD patients scheduled for routine endoscopy at Northwestern Memorial Hospital March 13, 2020 through May 31, 2020, during which all endoscopies were canceled due to COVID-19. Patients were divided between rescheduled on-time after delayed. Patient outcomes one year after cancellation were examined.

Main Outcome Measure:

hospital and emergency room admissions, surgery, and medication changes.

Sample Size:

250 patients.

Results:

100 patients were included in the delayed group and 150 in the on-time group, with mean ages of 47.5 and 42.8 years respectively. 59.2% had Crohn's disease (CD), 39.2% had Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and 1.2% had indeterminate colitis. Both groups had similar severity scores during the delay and 1 year post-endoscopy. There was no difference in the number of emergency room or hospital admissions during the delay or at one-year post-endoscopy. One-year post-endoscopy there were significantly more hospitalizations in the on-time group (n=14, 9.3%) compared to the delayed group (n=3, 3%), P=0.03. There were more IBD related surgeries in the on-time group (16) compared to the delayed group (4), P=0.03.

Conclusion:

Patients with delayed endoscopies due to COVID-19 did not experience worse outcomes compared to patients with on-time endoscopies. There was a higher number of admissions and operations in the on-time group despite similar severity scores.

Limitations:

Retrospective analysis, only short and intermediate term follow up.

Conflict of Interest:

None.

Authors: Gupta Nancy , Bellaguarda Emanuelle , Wafford Eileen , Feuerstein Joseph , Poylin Vitaliy Y.
Published: June 2023

Background:

Ustekinumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukins 12 and 23 to treat Crohn's disease. Effects on surgical complications and outcomes are not well understood.

Objectives:

We aimed to assess the impact of pre-operative Ustekinumab on post-operative complications in patients with Crohn's disease undergoing abdominal surgery and compare to anti-tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (Anti-TNFs).

Design:

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Patient and Methods:

We searched Medline (Ovid), The Cochrane Library (Wiley), EMBASE (Elsevier), Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), and Scopus (Elsevier), and CINAHL Plus with Full Text (Ebsco) for studies reporting rates of post-operative complications in Ustekinumab treated patients with Crohn's disease.

Main Outcome Measure:

Surgical site complications (SSI) and overall infectious complications between patients exposed to Ustekinumab pre-operatively in comparison to patients exposed to anti-TNFs pre-operatively.

Sample Size:

6 studies including 650 patients.

Results:

Four out of six studies reported data for post-operative infectious complications between Ustekinumab and anti-TNFs. Among a total of 107 patients who received Ustekinumab and 543 patients who received anti-TNFs, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of total infectious complications (RR 1.30, 95% CI 00.54-3.12; P = 0.55). Three studies, including 102 patients in the Ustekinumab group and 481 patients in the anti-TNF alpha group, reported surgical site infections. No significant difference was observed between the two groups (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.36-1.58; P=0.45).

Conclusion:

Pre-operative Ustekinumab use was not associated with reduced post-operative complication rates as compared to anti-TNFs in patients with Crohn's disease undergoing abdominal surgery, but there was substantial heterogeneity between trials.

Limitations:

Data heterogeneity, incomplete data from some of the studies.

Conflict of Interest:

None.

A unique funerary and ritual complex at the border zone of the Northern and Eastern European Plains as a record of cultural and social changes at the turn of the Neolithic and Bronze Age
Authors: Manasterski Dariusz , Januszek Katarzyna , Cetwińska Aleksandra , Kwiatkowska Katarzyna
Published: June 2023

In the 3rd millennium BC, the area of the Masurian Lake District, located at the border zone of the North and Eastern European Plains, was still dominated by hunter-gatherers. It was then that the Late Neolithic farming and pastoralist communities reached the region, where cultural and social changes were initiated. Tracing these changes is possible through an analysis of the unique funerary and ritual complex on the island of Lake Lanskie. Burials of representatives of the elites of rankingcommunities from the Late Neolithic were found there, as well as the discontinuation of such burials in the Early Bronze Age, which has already been associated with egalitarian communities.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the duration of SARS-CoV-2 clearance in persons in Ghana. The research question was whether the duration of virus clearance in Ghana matched the 14 days recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO); this had direct implications for transmission, which was key in managing the COVID-19 pandemic.Design: This was a retrospective analytical study.Setting: All facilities that submitted clinical specimens to Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis between March to June 2020 were included in the study.Interventions: Samples from 480 persons who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR from March to June 2020 at NMIMR and submitted at least two follow-up samples were retrospectively analysed. Individuals with two consecutive negative RT-PCR retesting results were considered to have cleared SARS-CoV-2.Results: The median time from the initial positive test to virus clearance was 20 days (IQR: 5-56 days). This was six days longer than the WHO-recommended 14 days, after which infected persons could be de-isolated. Sputum and nasopharyngeal swabs proved more sensitive for detecting viral RNA as the infection progressed. At a significance level of 0.05, age and sex did not seem to influence the time to SARS-CoV-2 clearance.Conclusions: The median time to SARS-CoV-2 clearance in this study was 20 days, suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 infected persons in Ghana take longer to clear the virus. This finding calls for further investigations into whether patients who remain PCR positive continue to be infectious and inform isolation practices in Ghana.

Of the total, 62.3% (n = 66) were women, and the mean knowledge level was 12.7±1.58 (range: 0-17). Mean waist-to-hip ratio was 0.92 ± 0.10) with 25.5% (n = 27) men and 48.1% (n = 51) women recording abnormally increased waist-to-hip ratios. Additionally, 44% of participants engaged in low physical activity levels, whereas 10% participated in high levels. There were no significant associations between physical activity levels and waist-to-hip ratios (r = 0.176, p=0.071).Conclusion: Persons with diabetes in the Ho Municipality mostly engaged in low and moderate physical activity levels and had abnormally increased waist-to-hip ratios suggesting abdominal obesity. Knowledge of physical activity may be associated with physical activity performance and waist-to-hip ratio, bearing an inverse association with physical activity levels.
Bounds on the Twin-Width of Product Graphs
Authors: Pettersson William , Sylvester John
Published: June 2023

Twin-width is a graph width parameter recently introduced by Bonnet, Kim,
Thomass\'{e} & Watrigant. Given two graphs $G$ and $H$ and a graph product
$\star$, we address the question: is the twin-width of $G\star H$ bounded by a
function of the twin-widths of $G$ and $H$ and their maximum degrees? It is
known that a bound of this type holds for strong products (Bonnet, Geniet, Kim,
Thomass\'{e} & Watrigant; SODA 2021). We show that bounds of the same form hold
for Cartesian, tensor/direct, corona, rooted, replacement, and zig-zag
products. For the lexicographical product it is known that the twin-width of
the product of two graphs is exactly the maximum of the twin-widths of the
individual graphs (Bonnet, Kim, Reinald, Thomass\'{e} & Watrigant; IPEC 2021).
In contrast, for the modular product we show that no bound can hold. In
addition, we provide examples showing many of our bounds are tight, and give
improved bounds for certain classes of graphs.

Analysis of the Effect of Grooving the Flow Passage on the Flow Characteristics of the Fluid Passing Through the Cylindrical with a Rotating Cylinder
Authors: Hassani Meysam , Ebrahimi Mahmood , Rahmani Masoud , Petrudi Amin Moslemi
Published: June 2023

Screw compressors belong to the group of positive displacement machines, which are widely used in various industries due to the advantages of these compressors compared to other industrial compressors. The distance between the moving and fixed parts of the rotating equipment is inevitable. This distance causes current leakage in all types of compressors, which reduces the efficiency of the compressor. In this research, the effect of grooving the flow passage on the flow characteristics of the passing fluid has been investigated using ANSYS CFX software. The simulation quality of positive displacement machines strongly depends on the correct prediction of the leakage current between the existing switches. It seems that creating a groove in the path of the passing current increases the thickness of the boundary layer, which acts as a barrier against the return leakage current between the rotor and the stator in the compressor. In this paper, a simplified model of the problem, which is a grooved cylinder in which a piston rotates, is investigated. First, the flow of fluid from a cylinder whose inner surface is smooth is examined, and then in boundary conditions and similar geometric dimensions, the effect of different types of grooves with different geometries on the flow characteristics will be studied. The variable is the change in drag force on the inner surfaces of the cylinder. The results show that in the best case, ie a cylinder with a single helical groove, the drag force compared to smooth geometry is 1.79 times and the flow rate is reduced by 13.21%. It is expected that the results of this study can be generalized to reduce leakage current between the rotor and the screw compressor housing.
COMPARISON OF SIMPLE MISSING DATA IMPUTATION TECHNIQUES FOR NUMERICAL AND CATEGORICAL DATASETS
Authors: Gautam Ramu , Latifi Shahram
Published: June 2023

Almost every dataset has missing data. The common reasons are sensor error, equipment malfunction, human error, or translation loss. We study the efficacy of statistical (mean, median, mode) and machine learning based (k-nearest neighbors) imputation methods in accurately imputing missing data in numerical datasets with data missing not at random (MNAR) and data missing completely at random (MCAR) as well as categorical datasets. Imputed datasets are used to make prediction on the test set and Mean squared error (MSE) in prediction is used as the measure of performance of the imputation. Mean absolute difference between the original and imputed data is also observed. When the data is MCAR, kNN imputation results in lowest MSE for all datasets, making it the most accurate method. When less than 20% of data is missing, mean and median imputations are effective in regression problems. kNN imputation is better at 20% missingness and significantly better when 50% or more data is missing. For the kNN method, k = 5 gives better results than k=3 but k=10 gives similar results to k=5. For MNAR datasets, statistical methods result in similar or lower MSE compared to kNN imputation when less than 25% of instances have a missing feature. For higher missing levels, kNN imputation is superior. Given enough data points without missing features, deleting the instances with missing data may be a better choice at lower missingness levels. For categorical data imputation, kNN and Mode imputation are both effective.

Multiple-Valued Plaintext-Checking Side-Channel Attacks on Post-Quantum KEMs
Authors: Tanaka Yutaro , Ueno Rei , Xagawa Keita , Ito Akira , Takahashi Junko , Homma Naofumi
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we present a side-channel analysis (SCA) on key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) based on the Fujisaki–Okamoto (FO) transformation and its variants. Many post-quantum KEMs usually perform re-encryption during key decapsulation to achieve chosen-ciphertext attack (CCA) security. The side-channel leakage of re-encryption can be exploited to mount a key-recovery plaintext-checking attack (KR-PCA), even if the chosen-plaintext attack (CCA) secure decryption constructing the KEM is securely implemented. Herein, we propose an efficient side-channel-assisted KR-PCA on post-quantum KEMs, and achieve a key recovery with significantly fewer attack traces than existing ones in TCHES 2022 and 2023. The basic concept of the proposed attack is to introduce a new KR-PCA based on a multiple-valued (MV-)PC oracle and then implement a dedicated MV-PC oracle based on a multi-classification neural network (NN). The proposed attack is applicable to the NIST PQC selected algorithm Kyber and the similar lattice-based Saber, FrodoKEM and NTRU Prime, as well as SIKE. We also present how to realize a sufficiently reliable MV-PC oracle from NN model outputs that are not 100% accurate, and analyze the tradeoff between the key recovery success rate and the number of attack traces. We assess the feasibility of the proposed attack through attack experiments on three typical symmetric primitives to instantiate a random oracle (SHAKE, SHA3, and AES software). The proposed attack reduces the number of attack traces required for a reliable key recovery by up to 87% compared to the existing attacks against Kyber and other lattice-based KEMs, under the condition of 99.9999% success rate for key recovery. The proposed attack can also reduce the number of attack traces by 85% for SIKE.

The Appalling Tragedy: Sexuality, Beauty Standard, and Racism in The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
Authors: ARSLAN Dilek
Published: June 2023

Being about the tragic lives of African American black families who encounter traumatic circumstances, the novel The Bluest Eye especially focuses on the unbearable life of a little black girl, Pecola. The horrible atmosphere of the novel can be seen from the beginning pages. It is heart-wrenching to see from the beginning pages of the novel that a young girl is raped by her father; consequently, she is pregnant. Pecola is so severely affected by the traumatic events such as the racial discrimination, internalized ugliness as being black, whiteness as the accepted beauty standard, and sexual abuse by her father that in the end, she goes mad and hallucinates a dream friend seeing her blue eyes. As a child, she associates blackness with the burden of her life and she considers that having blue eyes would be the solution to all her sufferings. Moreover, other black male and female characters such as Frieda, Claudia, Cholly, Darleine, Paulina are affected by the racism, sexual abuse, beauty standard, discrimination, and humiliation in the society. They have an internalized belief of blackness and ugliness; for this reason, they believe they experience poverty and discrimination. The aim of this paper is to discuss the traumatic tragedy caused by beauty standards, sexual abuse, and racism.
