Anterior canal-sparing bilateral vestibulopathy in MELAS syndrome
Authors: Kim Jae-Myung , Nam Tai-Seung , Lee Seung-Han
Published: November 2022

Vestibular dysfunction has rarely been reported in MELAS syndrome. A 40-year-old male with long-term diabetes and hearing loss experienced a stroke-like episode with hemisensory disturbance and lactic acidosis. Brain MRI showed temporo-parieto-occipital cortical lesions, and a final diagnosis was made of MELAS syndrome with the mitochondrial 3243A>G mutation. Neuro-otologic evaluations revealed anterior-canal-sparing bilateral impairments of the vestibulo-ocular reflex in the video head impulse test and no caloric paresis. This unique pattern of vestibular dysfunction may aid in diagnosing MELAS syndrome.
A Korean family with AGel amyloidosis presenting with progressive facial and bulbar palsies
Authors: Kang Minsung , Shin Jin-Hong , Kim Dae-Seong
Published: November 2022

AGel amyloidosis is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease caused by a GSN mutation, and affected patients typically present with the clinical triad of corneal lattice dystrophy, progressive cranial neuropathy, and cutis laxa. We report a Korean family with AGel amyloidosis with predominant manifestations of facial and bulbar muscle weakness. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a common missense mutation (p.Asp214Tyr) in GSN. This case strongly suggests that AGel amyloidosis should be considered when a patient presents with progressive facial and bulbar palsies.

Published: November 2022

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare condition manifested by inflammation in certain areas of the brain. Rhabdomyolysis with acute kidney injury (AKI) complicated by PRES is rarely reported. A 26-year-old female presented with neurological symptoms, high blood pressure, and AKI. Her symptoms improved with blood pressure control, anticonvulsant drug medications, and renal replacement therapy. This case demonstrates that PRES should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who have rhabdomyolysis with AKI accompanied by neurological symptoms, including headaches and convulsions.
Association between incidence of dengue cases and rainfall precipitation in Perak Darul Ridzuan
Authors: Thurairasu Vanitha , Muhamad Ruziah
Published: November 2022

INTRODUCTION

Dengue is a significant global public health concern for many decades, especially in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 390 million cases of dengue cases are reported each year, with Asia accounting for 70% of them. Statistically, Malaysia recorded 130,101 cases in 2019 with almost a 60% increase over 2018, with 182 mortalities. The ongoing hyperendemicity has called for an effective early warning system.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study is to determine the association between average rainfall precipitation and dengue incidence in Perak state. Subsequently, it aimed to serve as a preliminary study to further explore the use of weather forecast in predicting dengue incidences.

METHODOLOGY

This is a correlational study on the association between rainfall precipitation and the number of dengue cases in Perak state between year 2014 to 2021. All confirmed dengue cases in Perak from 2014 to 2021 notified in the dengue surveillance database were included in this study. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. To assess the relationship between dengue incidence/ month and rainfall precipitation/ month (mm/day) in 2014, a bivariate Pearson’s correlation coefficient (
r) analysis was performed.

RESULTS

Based on the results, a strong positive correlation was observed between dengue incidence/ month with rainfall precipitation/ month (mm/day) in the year 2014 and 2015. Thereafter, a strong negative correlation was seen between both these variable from 2016 to 2021. However, this study did not adjust for other meteorological factors such as temperature and wind speed in this locality.

CONCLUSION

The study has provided relatively strong statistical evidence of the association between rainfall and dengue outbreaks in Perak, thereby indicating that it is a factor worthy of careful surveillance and monitoring. Methodology and evidence observed from this study could serve as a strong preliminary baseline to further associate other meteorological factors to develop an efficacious spatio-temporal weather forecasting model in predicting dengue outbreaks in Malaysia. This could strengthen the control of dengue outbreaks by developing early warning systems.

O tomateiro é a principal hortaliça-fruto cultivada no mundo, com grande importância no cenário econômico e alimentício. Diante disso, objetivou-se avaliar o custo de produção e análise econômica para a produção de duas cultivares de tomate rasteiro de mesa cultivado sobre diferentes coberturas do solo. Foram avaliadas duas cultivares de tomate rasteiro para consumo in natura de ciclo determinado (Thaíse e Fascínio). Os tratamentos (tipos de cobertura de solo) utilizados neste estudo foram: I) Plantio convencional (sem cobertura do solo), II) Mulching, III) Sorgo, IV) Capim sudão e V) Milheto. Para os cálculos de lucratividade foram contabilizados os custos e receitas da área estudada e transformados em hectares. Considerou-se o custo operacional efetivo (COE), custo operacional total (COT), receita bruta (RB), lucro operacional (LO), índice de lucratividade (IL), produtividade e preço de equilíbrio. Os custos com operações manuais (19,61%), semente do tomate (9,00%), adubação (13,27%), mulching (7,17%) e irrigação (19,80%) foram os maiores gastos observados na produção de tomate rasteiro de mesa em relação ao custo operacional total. Para as cultivares de tomate Thaíse e Fascínio o maior lucro operacional foi de R$ 143.194,03 e R$ 134.604,53 por hectare obtidos na cobertura de solo com mulching, respectivamente. O cultivo do tomateiro rasteiro de mesa possui elevada rentabilidade econômica, principalmente quando se utiliza a cobertura de solo com mulching.

The latest Review of the Month, written by Spanish geologist Carles Soriano, considers the implications of idea of the Capitalocene, the historical determinations affecting the study of the Earth Sciences, and how our views of the current planetary crisis are often shaped by inadequate narratives. Current approaches, he writes are "non-dialectic and non-materialist regarding the study of social reproduction modes, and this renders the whole understanding of the planetary crisis not only incomplete but idealist, for the capitalist mode is assumed as absolute rather than historical."
¿Quién, cómo y de qué se investiga en un sistema educativo mercantilizado? Un meta-análisis de la investigación sobre política educativa en el Chile post-dictadura (1990-2019)
Authors: Villalobos Dintrans Cristobal , Pereira Mardones Sebastian
Published: November 2022

Partiendo de la idea de que las investigaciones y quienes las realizan inciden en la construcción del sistema educativo, este artículo busca describir y entender cuáles son los principales patrones de publicación académica sobre política educativa en el Chile post-dictadura (1990–2019). Mediante una revisión sistemática de más de 300 artículos sobre política educativa, se caracterizan a quiénes publican, los métodos que utilizan y sobre qué se ha investigado durante las últimas tres décadas. Los resultados muestran que la investigación sobre política educativa se caracteriza por producirse en un ambiente masculinizado, individualizado, dominado por universidades de élite y con una creciente autonomía disciplinar. Además, la investigación en política educativa es altamente descriptiva y tiende a utilizar el enfoque cualitativo como forma de aproximarse a los fenómenos que estudia. Finalmente, se observa que, aun cuando la mayoría de los estudios tienen una postura crítica frente al mercado, en general buscan corregirlo más que removerlo. Este ejercicio permite profundizar la reflexión sobre la reconfiguración de las relaciones entre investigación y política educativa, así como de los mecanismos de influencia que las y los investigadores en educación desarrollan sobre la política educacional.
The Hegemony of Uken-Toa Socio-Politics in the Regional Head Elections in Aceh Tengah
Authors: Efendi Muhsin , Basri Hasan , Fahkrurraji Alzikri , Indah Yusmika
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate the hegemony of Uken-Toa socio-politics in the regional head elections in Central Aceh. In addition, this study also attempted to determine the factors that cause the occurrence of Uken-Toa socio-politics in every election held in Central Aceh. In this study, the researchers focused on the topics of local politics, identity politics, regional elections, and socio-politics. The type of this study was phenomenological and ethnographical research by describing the patterns of values, behavior, beliefs, language, reality, and experiences undergone by individuals. Moreover, the data were collected through interviews, observations, and literature review. Results of this study indicated that the influence of Uken-Toa socio-politics will be always present during the regional head elections in Central Aceh. This means that competition between community groups is unavoidable in the Gayo people. In addition, this practice, which proces actors who represent Belah-Uken and those who represent Belah Toa, greatly affects the victory of the candidates in every regional head election held in Central Aceh. This kind of political practice even has occurred from the past until the current era. Moreover, it has an impact on the system of governance run by the elected regional heads, in this case, the regent and deputy regent of Central Aceh. In other words, this practice indicates how massive a socio-political power is in the local political order of Central Aceh as a political instrument. This Uken-Toa socio-political power in the Gayo community has been formed with long historical, cultural, and political dynamics. This political practice presents the competition between political actors from Belah Uken and Belah Toa, which are influenced by the values of Uken and Toa’s lives. Through this study, the researchers recommend to political elites and the public to avoid Uken-Toa socio-politics to create political harmony and a stable government system. In addition, it is to provide opportunities for other political actors not affiliated with those groups.
Kontrol Sipil Pragmatis: Implementasi Hubungan Sipil-Militer di Masa Pemerintahan Joko Widodo
Authors: Sukmawan Denny Indra , Pedrason Rodon
Published: November 2022

Di masa pemerintahan Joko Widodo, kontrol sipil atas militer tergolong pragmatis. Artikel ini berangkat dari teori kontrol sipil pragmatis oleh Donald Travis dan mengulas tiga fenomena yang menandakan pragmatisme Joko Widodo dalam mengelola hubungan sipil militer: Pertama, banyaknya purnawirawan TNI/Polri yang terlibat aktif dalam politik partisan pada Pemilu 2014 dan 2019. Kedua, banyaknya perwira aktif TNI/ Polri yang merangkap jabatan sipil di Kementerian/ Lembaga dan BUMN. Tiga, berkembangnya militerisme masyarakat sipil. Selain itu, penulis menemukan beberapa hal terkait implementasi kontrol sipil pragmatis di Indonesia: Pertama, sejumlah purnawirawan yang mengisi jabatan politik terlibat konflik kepentingan. Kedua, organisasi TNI/ Polri bisa berkuasa, walaupun tidak memerintah. Terlihat dari pos-pos jabatan yang diisi purnawirawan mereka di pemerintahan dan BUMN yang bergerak sektor energi dan pangan. Ketiga, militerisme masyarakat sipil mendorong sejumlah kelompok masyarakat sipil melakukan praktik sekuritisasi. Penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif dan bertumpu pada data sekunder dalam penulisan artikel ini.
Jokowi’s Sneakers Politics: Personal Branding, Politics of Imaging and Millenial Votes The 2019 Presidential Election
Authors: Suseno Bayu Aji , Utami Putri Prabu
Published: November 2022

This study aims to determine the use of sneakers as an artifactual communication medium that affects public perception (potential voters), to form millennial political identities to increase the popularity and electability of the incumbent presidential candidate Jokowi in the 2019 Indonesian presidential election campaign. The theoretical basis for personal branding is to determine the politics of imaging as a millennial leader against Jokowi's hypebeast style with sneakers. This study uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. The research subject focuses on the phenomenon of Jokowi's hypebeast style with sneakers as a personal branding strategy to win votes from millennials. In contrast, the research object is the sneaker product used by Jokowi during the presidential election campaign from 23 September 2018 to 13 April 2019. The results of this study explain that Jokowi's branding strategy of wearing sneakers is redesigning for self-image in introducing a new identity as a millennial leader. Jokowi is hypebeast style considered to break the new presidential dress order by following the fashion trends that are developing in the country. Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is trying to restore public trust by wearing sneaker brands from local and foreign manufacturers, thus placing Jokowi as an old-class politician who appears contemporary (hype) by adapting the style of millenials.
Length, position, and functions of inter-clausal Chinese–English code-switching in a bilingual novel
Authors: Wang Lin
Published: November 2022

Based on a written Chinese–English code-switching corpus compiled from a Singaporean bilingual novel, this paper reports on the distribution of instances of inter-clausal code-switching in terms of their length, the distribution of the position of instances of inter-clausal code-switching in mixed sentences, and the pragmatic functions of inter-clausal code-switching of different lengths in different sentence positions. The study yields four results. First, the distribution in terms of length fits Zipf’s Law well, and bilingual speakers attempt to avoid lengthy inter-clausal code-switching in their communication. Second, the majority of inter-clausal code-switching appears in sentence boundary positions. Third, the major pragmatic functions of shorter or longer instances of inter-clausal code-switching are turn-opening, turn-closing, explicitness, and accuracy. Finally, instances of inter-clausal code-switching with medium clause lengths have two main functions, which are the conveying of irony and emphasis.
Is There a Privacy Paradox in Digital Social Media Use? The Role of Privacy Concerns and Social Norms
Authors: Halama Josephine , Frenzel Tina , Hofmann Laura , Klose Constanze , Seifert Nathalie , Telega Kathrin , Bocklisch Franziska
Published: November 2022

The phenomenon of the privacy paradox states that people are concerned about their data, but do not behave accordingly by avoiding disclosure of personal data, for instance, when using social media. Since findings about the influence of privacy concerns on privacy-related behavior are controversial, the present study investigates whether social norms or individual privacy concerns provide a better explanation of disclosure behavior. Therefore, a social media app dummy was developed and the social norm manipulated by altering the amount and the sensitivity of information provided in a fictitious app user profile. Regarding social norm factors, the results of the online experiment (N = 42) revealed that only the sensitivity of the data in the dummy profile demonstrated a medium effect on the amount of personal data given by the participants. Considering individual factors, the less concerned individuals were about their privacy, the higher were the amount and the degree of sensitivity of the personal information participants disclosed. In addition, participants differentiated between sensitive or non-sensitive information when disclosing their data. They disclosed sensitive information significantly less often, regardless of the dummy profile they saw. Altogether, the study results do not support the privacy paradox and demonstrate implications for media education.

“CIDADE ACABA COM O SERTÃO. ACABA?”
Authors: Gomes Chemello Matheus , De Sousa Cruz Patricia Fernanda
Published: November 2022

O sertão é uma borda onde se constitui o menor. De cidades pequenas a povoados que mesclam características rurais e urbanas encontramos singularidades capazes de ressignificar o habitar a cidade. Pretendemos refletir sobre as tensões entre borda e hegemônico como matéria geradora do devir enquanto potência criativa, subversiva às narrativas do atraso que estigmatizam o sertão como desvio indesejado a um pretenso progresso incapaz de suportar a diferença. A cidade enquanto ideal normatizado é configurada por máquinas modeladas com vistas a invadir culturalmente as bordas. Se só o menor pode ser grande e revolucionário (DELEUZE; GUATTARI, 2003), identificar os fenômenos de interdição e opressão também nos permite reconhecer agenciamentos capazes de desmontar as máquinas colonizadoras do hegemônico, a literatura maior da cidade. Buscamos, no Sertão do Piauí, discutir tanto a forma da opressão, como as linhas de fuga que reivindicam maneiras próprias de estar no mundo.

Neste trabalho, discute-se a experimentação no âmbito de artes visuais para além dos espaços educativos fechados. Para tal, analisamos a proposição coletiva Divisor (1968) da artista brasileira Lygia Pape e as experiências propostas nos Domingos da Criação (1971) organizadas pelo crítico e curador Frederico Morais. Partindo das análises, foi possível perceber a experimentação coletiva em arte enquanto meio para experiências formadoras (DEWEY, 2010), compreendendo a arte/educação enquanto potência capaz de integrar sujeito e espaço urbano. Considerando que o cotidiano de grandes cidades muitas vezes afasta os vínculos que seus cidadãos possuem com os lugares, experiências em arte/educação surgem enquanto potências capazes de modificar e estabelecer relações entre habitante e urbe, transformando a cidade por vezes em um espaço menor, com maiores vínculos e afetos.
A PERFORMATIVIDADE DO CAMINHAR

Published: November 2022

Este trabalho propõe uma análise do espaço urbano de Petrópolis, RJ, a partir de duas áreas com distintas cargas simbólicas, tendo o caminhar como fenômeno percebido a partir de sua performatividade. Conceitos ligados à ideia da corporeidade, performance, técnica, transformação urbana e espetacularização auxiliam na caracterização de ambientes e estruturas espaciais, bem como nas suas relações estabelecidas com o corpo. A metodologia se dá a partir da contextualização dos recortes escolhidos, o reconhecimento de suas cargas simbólicas e estruturas espaciais, e a descrição das formas de uso, atravessamento e apropriação dos corpos caminhantes neste espaço usando uma narrativa livre apoiada em imagens reais dessas localizações. As análises possibilitam um entendimento dos fenômenos gerais e específicos a cada recorte dentro de uma cidade de menor escala, permitindo, através das experiências, um diálogo com os conceitos explorados à luz da reflexão crítica sobre o espaço urbano como plataforma de valor e produção.
Attention to Stimuli of Learned versus Innate Biological Value Relies on Separate Neural Systems
Authors: Kaskan Peter M. , Nicholas Mark A. , Dean Aaron M. , Murray Elisabeth A.
Published: November 2022

The neural bases of attention, a set of neural processes that promote behavioral selection, is a subject of intense investigation. In humans, rewarded cues influence attention, even when those cues are irrelevant to the current task. Because the amygdala plays a role in reward processing, and the activity of amygdala neurons has been linked to spatial attention, we reasoned that the amygdala may be essential for attending to rewarded images. To test this possibility, we used an attentional capture task, which provides a quantitative measure of attentional bias. Specifically, we compared reaction times (RTs) of adult male rhesus monkeys with bilateral amygdala lesions and unoperated controls as they made a saccade away from a high- or low-value rewarded image to a peripheral target. We predicted that: (1) RTs will be longer for high- compared with low-value images, revealing attentional capture by rewarded stimuli; and (2) relative to controls, monkeys with amygdala lesions would exhibit shorter RT for high-value images. For comparison, we assessed the same groups of monkeys for attentional capture by images of predators and conspecifics, categories thought to have innate biological value. In performing the attentional capture task, all monkeys were slowed more by high-value relative to low-value rewarded images. Contrary to our prediction, amygdala lesions failed to disrupt this effect. When presented with images of predators and conspecifics, however, monkeys with amygdala lesions showed significantly diminished attentional capture relative to controls. Thus, separate neural pathways are responsible for allocating attention to stimuli with learned versus innate value.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTValuable objects attract attention. The amygdala is known to contribute to reward processing and the encoding of object reward value. We therefore examined whether the amygdala is necessary for allocating attention to rewarded objects. For comparison, we assessed the amygdala's contribution to attending to objects with innate biological value: predators and conspecifics. We found that the macaque amygdala is necessary for directing attention to images with innate biological value, but not for directing attention to recently learned reward-predictive images. These findings indicate that the amygdala makes selective contributions to attending to valuable objects. The data are relevant to mental health disorders, such as social anxiety disorders and small animal phobias, that arise from biased attention to select categories of objects.
“If the Base Fundamentals Are Too Much for You…”
Authors: Horák Pavel
Published: November 2022

This article deals with the possible existence of doctrines in modern Paganism. Generally, Pagan studies scholars widely consider modern Paganism a religion without doctrines. Furthermore, Margot Adler, one of the early researchers of modern Paganism, established a narrative that practice is more important than beliefs in modern Paganism. However, based on ethnographic research conducted among modern European Pagans between 2014 and 2017, along with additional secondary data, this article argues that doctrines may emerge in situations of pressure or conflict, or while delineating boundaries and gatekeeping Paganism against other religions. In such situations, beliefs become enforced and turn into the basis of potential doctrines. Doctrines are authoritatively defined theoretical components of religion, comprising teaching, beliefs, and confessions. Their authoritative character has its historical roots in Christianity and tries to keep the doctrinal contents fixed using a dynamic of truth and falsity, which determines orthodoxy—distinguishing right faith from error.
“Yes, We Do Want to Subvert and Corrupt Young People”
Authors: Consenstein Eden
Published: November 2022

In 1992, the British television news program Dispatches aired clips from a video described as the first ever, eyewitness proof of satanically motivated child abuse. Days later, newspapers reported that the video was misrepresented. The clips were drawn from First Transmissions, an experimental video produced by Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (T.O.P.Y.) a geographically disperse occult collective committed to subverting mainstream media. This article provides a detailed history of this incident. First, it uses the event as an entrée into T.O.P.Y.’s magickal media activism. Second, it locates the groups’ inadvertent appearance on Dispatches within sweeping changes to the late-20th-century media landscape. Providing this context demonstrates how new possibilities in the production and circulation of audiovisual media provoked religious conflicts and concerns for radical occultists and conservative television journalists alike. While T.O.P.Y.’s uses of media were intended to enable individual self-actualization and to undermine established institutions, their detractors on Dispatches figured underground media economies as sites of satanic conspiracy and worked to discipline their creators.
A Little Outpost
Authors: Singleton Andrew
Published: November 2022

This article explores the short life of the Ballarat Spiritualist Fellowship and the Spiritualist history of its founder, Lorraine Culross (b. 1952), to offer both a “wide-angle” and “up-close” account of Australian Spiritualism and the fortunes of its churches, especially in the postwar era. Spiritualism first came to Australia in the nineteenth century, in the form of public lectures, stage demonstrations, and private séances. A church movement quickly appeared, and dozens of congregations opened in the first few decades of the twentieth century. Today, only a handful of these “legacy” churches still run, fortunate to own a dedicated building. Beyond that, many other tiny churches, like the Ballarat Spiritualist Fellowship, have come and gone across many decades. These churches could open easily because of the commitment of enthusiastic Spiritualists, an absence of a rigid ecclesiastical hierarchy, and charismatic forms of social organization. However, as the case of Ballarat shows, these same characteristics mean that most churches have a precarious existence. This mutability characterizes Spiritualism’s story as one of Australia’s longest lasting and most durable alternative spiritual movements. Australian Spiritualism has evolved, changed, and survives, despite the travails of many church closures.

Historic St. Mary’s City, an outdoor living history museum and research center, has been working on realigning its site narrative from a historically colonialist perspective towards a more inclusive, community-driven interpretive scheme. Two projects exemplify the development of this effort since 2018: the design of a long-term exhibition for a new visitor center and a collaborative initiative sparked by the archaeological discovery of the 1634 St. Mary’s Fort. These efforts have not been without missteps. This essay recounts the progress to date of HSMCC’s work to responsibly build partnerships with our community.
Exploring and Interpreting the History of Slavery at James Madison’s Montpelier
Authors: Brock Terry P. , Crawford-Lackey Katherine , Reeves Matthew B. , Minkoff Mary Furlong
Published: November 2022

Archaeology’s importance to understanding and exploring difficult histories should be considered an essential tool in the public history toolbox. This paper will explore how the Department of Archaeology at The Montpelier Foundation in Orange, Virginia, interprets the lives of over 350 individuals enslaved by James Madison, the nation’s fourth president. To do so, we use the Rubric of best practices, standards established by the National Summit on Teaching Slavery held in 2018 and published by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in a document called Engaging Descendant Communities in the Interpretation of Slavery at Museums and Historic Sites. This paper examines how the Montpelier Archaeology Department has developed a research and interpretive program that puts the Rubric into practice, making the case that public historians and heritage organizations must robustly engage archaeologists and the discipline of archaeology in all aspects of its research and interpretation.

Photocatalysis using solar energy and semiconductors is widely used in the purification of air and the processing of wastewater. Present study deal with cost-effective GO synthesis, supporting NiO/Fe3O4 ternary nanocomposites; for the rapid photocatalytic degradation of the Rhodamine B Dye. For this purpose, nickel oxide nanoparticles and iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method. Synthesis of graphene oxide was done by using modified hummers method. These trimetallic nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction Crystallography (XRD) for structure, shape and composition determination. The photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B dye was conducted and various parameters like catalyst amount, dye concentration, pH and contact time optimization were performed to evaluate dye degradation efficiency of Fe3O4/NiO/Graphene trimetallic nanoparticles. Kinetic models were studied to check degradation rate and Pseudo 1st order kinetic model was most suitable to the experimental data of dye degradation.

Levothyroxine malabsorption or pseudomalabsorption? A question in the management of refractory hypothyroidism

Purpose

The levothyroxine absorption test (LT4AT) is an important tool for distinguishing hypothyroidism due to malabsorption from ‘pseudomalabsorption’ conditions. Our aim was to review our institution’s LT4AT results and assess its role in the management of patients with refractory hypothyroidism.

Methods

We performed a retrospective study of all patients evaluated for refractory hypothyroidism who underwent LT4AT in our tertiary center between 2014 and 2020. Its results and the impact on thyroid function management during follow-up were assessed.

Results

Ten female patients were included with a mean age of 40 years (min-max: 26–62). Mean weight was 72 kg (min–max: 43–88) and baseline LT4 dosage ranged from 2.5 to 5.3 µg/kg/day. The most common causes of hypothyroidism were postsurgical in 50% (n  = 5) and autoimmune in 20% (n  = 2). During LT4AT, normal LT4 absorption was found in all but one individual (mean FT4 increase of 231%, min–max: 85–668). The only patient with objective LT4 absorption impairment (maximal increase of 48% by hour 5) presented also Helicobacter pylori gastritis and prior history of ‘intestinal surgery’ during childhood. No adverse events were reported during any of the LT4ATs. During follow-up (median 11.5 months (IQR 23)), three patients obtained euthyroidism and six had improved their hypothyroidism state.

Conclusions

The LT4AT is an effective and safe way to assess refractory hypothyroidism and provides valuable information to distinguish LT4 malabsorption from ‘pseudomalabsorption’. Our data suggest that most patients with suspicious LT4 malabsorption perform normally during LT4AT. This test provides relevant information for better management of patients with refractory hypothyroidism.

Background: No study has examined the association of the calcification of abdominal artery orifices with nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) in dialysis patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether calcification of abdominal blood vessel orifices in hemodialysis patients may be a risk factor for NOMI and examine the long-term survival of dialysis patients after undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: From April 2014 to September 2020, 100 dialysis patients underwent cardiac surgery at our hospital. The calcification of the celiac artery (CA) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was evaluated by computed tomography, and the degree of orifice stenosis was graded as follows: patent, 0; partial occlusion, 1; and complete occlusion, 2.
Results: Eight patients experienced NOMI, and all of them died. SMA calcification scores were not significantly different between the NOMI and non-NOMI groups (1.38±0.52 vs. 1.13±0.69; P = 0.247). However, the average CA orifice calcification score was significantly greater in the NOMI group than in the non-NOMI group (1.63±0.52 vs. 1.15±0.65; P = 0.039), and the SMA+CA orifice calcification scores were significantly different between the groups (3.00±0.76 vs. [non-NOMI] 2.25±1.18; P = 0.028). In all patients, the 30-day and in-hospital mortality rates were 13% and 18%, respectively. All patients were completely followed up with a mean follow-up period of 604±585 days. Kaplan–Meier survival curves showed that patients with SMA and CA calcification tended to have a shorter overall survival than patients without calcification; however, no significant difference was noted.
Conclusions: The calcification of CA and/or SMA orifices was associated with postoperative NOMI and poor long-term survival among dialysis patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
