Authors: Badache K.
Published: April 2021

Background Posterior fossa brain ependymomas are one of the most devastating forms of human illnesses which are more common in children. Brainstem compression, herniation and death are the risks with tumours in this critical location. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study including 50 patients with posterior fossa ependymoma were performed at the Neurosurgery Department in Ait IDDIR University Hospital between the period of January 2005 and December 2015 . In each case, diagnosis was made clinically and confirmed radiologically and histo-pathologically.. All patients received the adjuvant treatment Results Out of 50 patients, 30 (60%) patients were males and 20 (40%) were females. The mean age was 24 years (ranged 5 months –47 years) ; we identified 29 (58%) children and 21 (42%) adults,. Ventriculo-peritoneal shunts were placed in all our patients, the total tumor excision was done to 35% and the partial tumor excision was done to 65% patients. The most common complications were as follows: Shunt malfunction : 4% , operative cavity hematoma 6%, CSF fistula 4%, deterioration of Cerebellar syndrome 6%, Cerebellar Mutism 2%, Mixed nerves palsy 4% and early post operative deaths 10%. Tumor architecture was classified as classic (Grade II) in 35 (70%) cases and anaplastic (Grade III) in 13(26%) cases. Adjuvant treatment regimens following resection included radiation therapy only (72%) for 36 patients including children above and adults and chemotherapy only (36%) for 9 children below 4 years and 9 recurrent tumors. During follow-up period, recurrence occurred in 27% 11patients out of 41patients .Five patients died (10%). Conclusion The surgical treatment of posterior fossa tumours still represents a challenge for neurosurgeons, Radical surgery with preservation of vital structures is the treatment of choice in patients with Posterior Cerebral Fossa ependymomas.. Our experience shows the accepted results, complications and surgical outcome in relation to previous clinical studies.

Authors: Kapadia Sohum
Published: April 2021

With the recent rapid growth in transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve interventions, it has become increasingly important to understand detailed anatomy of the valves. In this study, we investigated the similarities, differences, and associations between the dimensions of the atrioventricular valves in a sheep model, as sheep heart valves have a similar morphology to human valves. A systematic dissection of twenty-five sheep hearts was performed, with annular circumference measurement, and sub-valvular anatomy documentation. There was a significant association (r=0.865; p=0.007) between the circumference of the mitral and tricuspid annuli. Authors also identified significantly more chordae tendinea in the subvalvular mitral apparatus compared to the tricuspid valve (15.8±1.2 vs. 13.9±1.5; p<0.001). In conclusion, there is a significant association between the size of mitral and tricuspid valve annuli, and the morphology of leaflets and subvalvular apparatus is different between the two valves. These findings could have important implications in transcatheter device design, sizing, and optimal intervention timing.

Authors: Vassallo Fabricio
Published: April 2021

Introduction: Left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus in atrial tachyarrhythmias is one of the principal causes of stroke. Prevalence and strategies to thrombus resolution has recently been described in the era of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC). The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and strategies to resolve previous LAA thrombus during regular oral antithrombotic therapy in preparation to perform atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and/or LAA closure. Methods: Between January 2011 and December 2020 we prospectively followed 23 patients (5.39%) that showed LAA thrombus formation. Persistent AF occurred in 13 (56.52%), median age 72.39 years, 15 (65.22%) females, median CHA2DS2VASC of 4.13, HASBLED of 2.28, 17 (73.91%) with hypertension, (52.17%) with coronary disease, 9 (39.13%) had priors’ thromboembolic events, 7 (30.43%) with heart failure and Diabetes. Diagnosis was by transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) in 20 (86.96%) and the rest by computed angiotomography. Rivaroxaban was used in 11 (47.83%), Dabigatran in 6 (26.09%), 5 (21.74%) with therapeutic range Warfarin and 1 (4.34%) with Apixaban. Main strategy of treatment was to change mechanism of action of antithrombotic medication in association to an antiplatelet drug, Clopidogrel 75mg a day, and perform a TEE at 90 days after. Results: Complete resolution of the LAA thrombus was achieved in 18 (78.26%) patients in first medical therapeutic change. Of the remaining a second approach with medical therapy adjustment with off-label dose prescription associated with Clopidogrel showed complete resolution in 3 (13.04%) totalizing a success rate of 91.30% for all patients (p value of 0.001 for treatment success). The failure of the antithrombotic plus antiplatelet therapy occurred in 2 (8.7%) patients, one with LAA sludge and other with a huge thrombus in all LAA and part of left atrium. Conclusion: Modification of the mechanism of action of direct oral anticoagulants in association with Clopidogrel demonstrates to be successful in a large number of patients with previous resistant left atrial thrombus with and secure since the low adverse event rates.

Authors: safwat Sarah
Published: April 2021

Abstract Background: During the first 36 to 38 weeks of normal gestation, the myometrium is in a preparatory yet unresponsive state. Concurrently, the cervix begins an early stage of remodeling yet maintains structural integrity. Induction of labour is a complex process involving cervical ripening which undergo extensive remodeling and dynamic changes controlled by hormonal, inflammatory changes, and other biological processes. Aim of the Work: to assess the effect of intravenous administration of dexamethasone on the induction delivery interval in term patients with prelabour rupture of membranes undergoing induction of labor. Patients and Methods: This randomized control trial was conducted at department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital (ASUMH) in the period between August 2020 and January 2021. Participants of this study were 80 full term pregnant women with pre-labor rupture of membranes attended the labor ward in El Demerdash Maternity Hospital and scheduled for induction of labor by 8 mg dexamethasone IV before starting induction by PGE1, after 4 hours oxytocin was added by 1 IU/hr with the dose increasing by 1 IU every 30 minutes till optimal contractions were reached which were three uterine contractions in 10 minutes and each lasting for 40-50 seconds. Results: Fetal distress, arrest of delivery and indications of CS delivery were non-significantly less frequent among Dexamethasone group. Induction-active phase and active phase durations were significantly shorter among dexamethasone group than among control group. Second and third stages durations were non-significantly shorter among dexamethasone group than among control group. Total induction-delivery duration was significantly shorter and rate of vaginal delivery was significantly higher among dexamethasone group than among control group. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), postpartum endometritis, chorioamnionitis were not reported among the studied groups. No significant difference between Dexamaethasone and Control groups regarding neonatal condition Conclusion: Intravenous administration of dexamethasone in addition to labor induction protocol shortened the induction - active phase and active phase durations. It shortened the total induction-delivery duration and increased the rate of successful vaginal delivery. It has no effect on second and third stages durations with no increase in incidence of intrapartum, postpartum nor neonatal complications.

a minuscule total dose of <1 mL. This review highlights the current status of extracranial carotid sonography imaging, including plaque characterization when using standard and contrast-enhanced sonography.Learning Objective: Describe risk factors associated with ischemic stroke
and the associated imaging features and how contrast-enhanced sonography can provide direct evaluation for carotid artery stenosis as well as characterization of atherosclerotic plaque.
Management of Chronic Low Back Pain: Review of Fluoroscopy-Guided Epidural Steroid Injection
Authors: Chacko Achanaril A. , Jhaveri M.D. , Gaddikeri S.
Published: April 2021

Chronic low back pain point prevalence in US adults ages 20‐69 years is approximately 13.1%. It is estimated that approximately 12%‐15% of visits to health care providers in the United States are related to low back pain and is considered as an economic burden,
not only due to the loss of work productivity but also due to direct health care costs, with an estimated median treatment cost of approximately $13,015 per quality-adjusted life year. Even with well-selected patients, the surgical outcome in patients with low back pain may vary. Conservative
management by using physical therapy and rehabilitation is considered an equally good alternative option for patients with chronic low back pain. Percutaneous minimally invasive pain-alleviating spinal procedures are helpful for patients who do not have a compelling indication for surgical
intervention, who are not good surgical candidates due to their associated comorbidities, and who cannot tolerate the oral pain medications in the required doses. Percutaneous minimally invasive pain-alleviating spinal procedures are increasingly popular due to increasing patient awareness
of alternative treatment options and also the skepticism about the cost-effective role of spinal surgery for pain. In this article, we provide a basic review of relevant anatomy, preprocedure assessment, and techniques for most commonly used percutaneous image-guided spinal epidural procedures
and briefly discuss the potential complications.Learning Objectives: To describe relevant spinal anatomy; to provide a brief illustration of basic techniques and approaches for spinal pain control procedures and regional anesthesia; and to discuss predisposing factors, pathophysiology,
and imaging features of associated complications.

Introduction of Innovations as a Guarantee of Labour Potential Development
Authors:   Flight Academy of National Aviation University, Smutchak Zinaida
Published: April 2021

The article is devoted to the introduction of innovations in the development of labour potential of enterprises as a factor in improving the economic potential of the country. The possibility of using effective innovations used in the practice of the world's leading countries (including Germany, Great Britain, France, the United States and Japan) in the field of professional development of personnel is mentioned. Mechanisms for improving the efficiency of the system of professional development of staff are proposed. Attention is focused on the involvement of social partners in the organization and control over the quality of vocational training. In order to study effective forms and methods of professional development of staff and the introduction of social innovations in this area, developed and tested in other countries, it is necessary to take into account elements of foreign experience. This is especially justified and extremely relevant today in connection with the active processes of statehood of Ukraine and administrative reform. Contradictions between the needs of modernization of national enterprises and the lack of professional, highly qualified workers, specialists representing the newest activities (there are hundreds of them in the world every year), deteriorating quality of training - all this inevitably has a negative impact on social and labour relations. The main economic interests of the social partners in the field of labour, above all, prevents the desired income. Ukraine will quickly lose the existing advantages in personnel training in the absence of a system of continuous training of employees. The consequence of this situation is the transformation of Ukraine into a «supplier» of cheap labour for European countries and other developed countries. In Ukraine the development of vocational training is an important condition for both the provision of production with highly qualified personnel and increasing its efficiency. However, it has certain shortcomings and requires a change of approach both on the part of the state and on the part of employers, which determines the prospects for further research.

The directions of development of the system of investment of professional (educational) level of personnel and policy of human resources management are considered. The basis of effective activity of the enterprise, especially in a crisis situation, is an effective personnel policy and the strategy of motivation and promotion of the personnel derived from it promotes prevention of social conflicts. Continuous training and retraining of managers and ordinary employees, staff development based on the qualitative characteristics of its educational and professional level becomes the main element of personnel policy in the organization. The most important prerequisite for improving the efficiency of investment in education is forecasting labor market needs. An individual's investment in his or her own education may be ineffective if he or she does not have an assessment of the potential need of entrepreneurs for certain specialists. Inadequate assessment of the company's training and staff development needs will also negatively affect the effectiveness of the respective investments. Forecasting the situation on the labor market is necessary for the state to prevent structural imbalances in the labor market or mass unemployment. Higher education makes a significant contribution to the development of individual human capital. The contribution of higher education to individual economic growth is primarily related to improving the quality of work of employees with a high level of education and qualifications. The most important factor of success is the continuous theoretical and practical training of managers of a new type, with a high sense of responsibility for the results of the enterprise. This requires the intensification of research in this area, the development of specific ways and methods of implementing personnel policy, restructuring the formation and use of human resources management of organizations. In the most high-tech, prestigious and highly paid professional fields, preference will be given to freelance graduates. These considerations require the intensification of research in this area, the development of specific ways and methods of implementing personnel policy, restructuring the formation and use of human resources management of organizations.

Published: April 2021

Strengthening the intellectualization of the economy is an ongoing process that is rapidly accelerating in the new century. One of the important manifestations of this is the formation of Smart-economy, "smart" economy. An important aspect of the study of Smart-economy is to determine its subjective structure and assess the relationships and interdependence of participants in economic relations. New participants in global economic relations are global cities, for the assessment of which at the present stage are used not only indicators of economic efficiency, but also indicators of intellectual economy and well-being. The article identifies three main components of the Smart-economy: smart growth, which involves the development of the economy through the implementation of knowledge and innovation; stable and sustainable growth, which is formed through the rational use of available resources and increase the efficiency of these processes, which in turn can contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the economy; intensive growth provided by the achievement of a high level of employment, social and territorial capacity and cohesion. The main forms of manifestation of Smart-economy are defined: digitalization; institutionalization; management; greening; socialization; urbanization. The main elements of assessing the quality of global cities are the business environment, human capital, taxation, reputation, infrastructure, financial center development. The article analyzes the disposition of global cities in the structure of Smart-economy, criteria and indicators of their analysis, identifies the place of components of intellectualization and the current level of development of global cities. It is determined that at the present stage there is a formation not only of "global" cities, but also of "international" ones, which have a significant impact on the development of the region and determine its key trends.

Classification is a special general scientific method of scientific research, which allows to establish the properties of the object of study both for the purposes of own research and for the purposes of forming new scientific knowledge. The classification model allows you to approach the object of public administration in a complex and take into account all the properties in further research. Classification as a method of study has a dual meaning for the researcher: from the outside, it is a method that contributes to the study of the system and order; from the internal, it is a technique that determines the completeness and correctness of the conclusions of the study. Classification of economic crimes from the standpoint of public administration will fully assess their properties, which determine the level of threat to national security. Economic crime is not a new phenomenon in Ukraine or in the world. Accordingly, the issue of economic crime has interested scientists for quite some time. The article investigates and systematizes the classification of economic crime in scientific and educational literature. Based on the presented approaches to the classification of economic crimes in scientific, reference and educational literature, the directions of their systematization were determined: by general components of economic activity: by violation of principles of economic activity, by sphere of economic relations. by the spheres of public relations that regulate economic activity, by the content of the committed crime, by the way of committing the crime, by the subjective features. The approaches proposed by scientists to the classification of economic crime are mostly determined by criminal law in force in a country, and therefore do not fully meet the objectives of public administration in the context of combating economic crime as a threat to national security. That is why the author's classification model of economic crime was developed for the purposes of public administration. The presented classification model of economic crime allows to approach economic crime as an object of public administration in a complex and to consider all properties at formation of innovative mechanisms of counteraction.

Syphilis, is sexually transmitted disease caused by spirochete Treponema pallidum subsp.pallidum. It have many diverse clinical manifestations that occur in distinct stages. Early diagnosis and management are the main things to prevent transmission and complication. Direct test or morphological observation is the definitive diagnosis of syphilis. This can be done through animal inoculation test, dark field microscopy, direct fluorescence antibody (DFA), and nucleid acid amplification test (NAAT). While the indirect test is a nontreponemal serologic test consist of Wasserman test, venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL), toluidine red unheated serum test (TRUST), unheated serum reagin (USR), rapid plasma reagin (RPR) and treponemal serologic test, such as T. pallidum passive particle agglutination (TPPA), T. pallidum haemagglutination assay (TPHA), fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-Abs), enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and rapid test. The algorithm of serologic test can be divided into traditional or reverse.

A globális  gazdaságot, egészségügyet és társadalmi folyamatokat egyaránt érintő Covid-19 pandémia  várhatóan felgyorsítja a telemedicinát érintő  jogalkotási folyamatot és a súlyponti kérdésekre  vonatkozó korrekciós lépések végrehajtását. A  külföldi helyzet megismerése, a pozitív tapasztalatok  átemelése elősegítheti a hazánkban is egyre  szélesebb körben használt telemedicinához  kapcsolódó jogi háttér biztonságának megteremtését.

A nemzeti katonai szerepvállalás növekszik mind a mérsékelt égövön, mind szubtrópusi, trópusi körülmények között. A  szélsőséges körülményekre az egészségügyi támogatásnak is fel kell készülnie. Több olyan kórkép létezik, amelynek  megjelenése függ a környezeti tényezőktől. A húgyúti kövesség egy tünetmentes állapot a legtöbb esetben, de erős fizikai  terhelés és más faktorok hatására panaszt okoz, azonnali és jelentős harcérték-csökkenéssel. A betegség jól  diagnosztizálható, azonban jelenleg vizsgálata és szűrése nem része a katonaorvosi gyakorlatnak. Megváltozott éghajlati  körülmények között felmértük e betegség előfordulását, és azonosítottuk a kockázati tényezőket. A ciprusi Egyesült  Nemzetek Szövetsége (ENSZ) misszióban történt kérdőíves, eszközös és laborvizsgálat eredményét ismertetjük  részletesen. A vizsgálat során bizonyítottuk, hogy szubtrópusi missziós területen a kőbetegség előfordulása az  ötszörösére emelkedett, védőhatásként a megnövelt folyadékfogyasztást találtuk. Az eredmények alapján megfontolandó  a kórkép szűrése és a katonák részletes oktatása.

Introduction: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) associates with changes in sex hormones; however, it remains unknown whether this is either a cause for or a result of the disease. To further evaluate it, we investigated if the development of 6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced Parkinsonism changes the serum levels of testosterone and prolactin or not. Methods: 6-OHDA was injected into the medial forebrain bundle using stereotaxic surgery. The development of Parkinsonism was evaluated by apomorphine-induced rotational test and the immunofluorescence labeling of Dopaminergic (DA) neurons in substantia nigra. The necessary blood samples were collected before the toxin and in the third and sixth weeks afterward. The hormones levels were determined using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kits. Results: The severity of rotations was different among 6-OHDA-treated rats; accordingly, they were divided into two subgroups of severe and mild parkinsonian rats. The degeneration of DA neurons was observed in both subgroups; however, it was significantly less in the mild group. In the sixth week after the toxin, testosterone level increased but only in the severe subgroup. Prolactin increased in both subgroups in the third week after the toxin but returned to normal in the sixth week. There was no association between the pre-toxin levels of these hormones and the intensity of Parkinsonism. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that the development of 6-OHDA-induced Parkinsonism increases the serum levels of testosterone and prolactin. Increased prolactin occurred earlier and was observed in rats with less DA neuronal loss. Therefore, prolactin levels can predict the death of DA neurons before the clinical signs of PD were revealed.

Introduction: Computer games as an interactive media play a significant role in the cognitive and behavioral health of the players. Computer games have either positive or negative effects on cognitive indices among players. They also directly influence the lifestyle and quality of life of children, adolescents, and young adults. The present study aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of the brain teaser game on players. Methods: Among 45 male volunteers, 40 subjects with an average age of 20 years were recruited and divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. All required tests were conducted before and after the intervention (playing the game) on the experimental group. Also, the same tests were performed on the control group, in which the participants were not allowed to play the game. All participants completed a questionnaire comprised demographic characteristics and specific information regarding the game (e.g., game style and hours spent on playing the game). The saliva samples were collected to measure levels of cortisol and α-amylase. The salivary α-amylase (sAA) and cortisol levels were analyzed using the relevant ELISA kits. The cognitive tests were performed using PASAT software before and after the game to assess the perceptual-cognitive abilities of the players. The brain waveforms were acquired by a 14-channel Emotiv brain signal recording device before and after the game. Data analysis was conducted in R and MATLAB software. Results: PASAT test suggested that mental health and sustained attention were significantly improved after the intervention. In addition, the sAA and salivary cortisol levels were significantly higher before the intervention. The results of the brainwave analysis revealed that stress index and attention were significantly higher before the intervention. Conclusion: Findings of the present study suggest that brain teaser games positively influence the central nervous system and activate stress path, leading to changes in brain signals and subsequently improved cognitive elements, such as attention among players.

The subject of investigation in this article is transonic flow. This is a condition in which local speeds of sound are appears on the wing surface, even at the subsonic speed of the nonturbulent flow. As a result, at a certain speed of the incoming flow, the flow regime around the aerodynamic surface will change sharply, which in turn changes the aerodynamic characteristics. Aerodynamic surfaces of the most transport category airplane experience transonic airflow during flight. The goal of the investigation is to study aerodynamic characteristics using numerical methods. The use of numerical methods in the design of aircraft structures is used more and more often to determine the optimal parameters for given operating conditions. This contributes to obtaining a more optimal and perfect design. In this article, we carried out a numerical analysis of the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils in the transonic flow case using the CAE system CFD ANSYS. As a result of the research, the distributions of the pressure coefficients over the profile surface were obtained. The nature of the flow is obtained, which is similar to the picture of the pressure coefficients for transonic flow in the published sources of this topic. In the area of the middle of the profile, a shock-wave is observed. As a result, the flow around the airfoil changes, which contributes to a change in aerodynamic characteristics. The behavior of the aerodynamic drag and lift coefficients depending on the speed of the Mach number is considered. Also, the position of the center of pressure was analyzed at various velocities of the nonturbulent flow. The calculation was carried out at the cruising altitude of a medium-range aircraft of 11 km. For the calculations, we used the characteristics of the air temperature, the pressure of a given height from the table of the standard atmosphere.
