Authors: LAM Jin
Published: January 2023

This study aims to find out the impact of expressive textile arts practice in co-design process on undergraduate students after taking a series of co-design textile arts and fashion creativity workshops from the service learning subject, “Community Engagement through Expressive Textile Arts and Fashion” offered by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2018and 2019. A total of 38 prototypes had been jointly created by ex-mentally ill persons, people with intellectual disabilities, subject lecturers and undergraduate students during the co-design workshops in these two cohorts. Concepts of ex-mentally ill persons and people with intellectual disabilities in the community, expressive arts therapy, textile arts, expressive textile arts and service-learning subject were introduced in this subject. In the co-design process, students were expected to gain new knowledge and skills after they participated in the lectures, seminars, workshops and mini fashion show of the service-learning subject. In this study, quantitative research method was used to explore the impacts of co-design process on students practicing expressive textile arts with their service recipients. For the results, positive impacts are found on students regard to their participation in this service-learning subject. The main advancements include empowerment and enhancement of community engagement.
Reading the modern Hausa novel in English
Authors: Kamal Aliyu
Published: January 2023

The paper discusses how reading the Modern Hausa Novel in English, which is multidisciplinary and entertaining, will greatly afford the reader the opportunity to contribute towards achieving positive change in Nigeria. The preoccupations of Hausa characters in the Hausa Novel are bound to religious precepts and founded on communalism both of which affect the relations holding between them. The English language, as a vehicle of literary expression, offers a great deal of stylistic devices to the Hausa Novel, as shown in the analysis of twelve novels written over an eleven-year period.
Is there a struggle for recognition? In comparing Hegel and Honneth
Authors: Ricci Vittorio
Published: January 2023

The present analysis tries to cast serious doubt about Honneth’s connection between struggle and recognition and his pretension of finding its early essential and determinant theorization in some texts contained in Jena writings of young Hegel. Beyond Honneth’s thesis results paradoxical in many respects and theoretically almost inconsistent, a mere baseless overlapping of what should means both the more obvious notion and real existence of society as well as those of individual, his reference to Hegel’s recognition idea, substantially linked to a ‘pre-social’, ‘pre-political’, as well as naturally primitive and eventual atmosphere and scenario, seems extremely inappropriate and variously arbitrary, although this operation shows an emphatical exigence of objective foundation of what is variously insidious and bids one of most inaccessible theoretic challenge.
The conceptual treatment of professional competences an approximation
Authors: Verdecia Tamayo Manuel de Jesús , Figueroa Rodríguez Laida del Rosario
Published: January 2023

At the present time, a widely used term is that of "professional competences." Therefore, research on the conceptual treatment of this category becomes decisive, while science with its social function allows preventive, corrective and retroactive measures to be taken to guide the correct interpretation and perception of the phenomena that occur in social life. This article briefly analyzes the conceptual treatment of the category "professional competences"; significant issue for the training of professionals in various contexts, issue that requires the participation of the scientific community as guarantor and dynamic element of the development of these competences and of the global society as a whole. It is concluded that although there are advances in the conceptualization of the term, the investigation remains open not reaching consensus on this problem.
Edema management with compression therapy during volumetric modulated arc therapy for extensive skin field cancerisation - a case study
Authors: Lewis Lori , Connor Chelsie O ’ , Koelmeyer Louise , Forstner Dion , Thompson Belinda , Suam Hiroo
Published: January 2023

Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Australia. Recent advances in radiation therapy (RT) allow large convex areas with extensive skin field cancerisation (ESFC) to be treated using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). RT doses and volumes are planned by radiation oncologists from pre-treatment computed tomography (CT) scans. Changes in limb volume due to the inflammatory response triggered by radiation can affect planned volumes and result in inaccuracies in dosimetry. We present a case study comparing outcomes with and without compression therapy following wide field VMAT to bilateral lower limbs. As edema can affect dosimetry, we hypothesized that edema management using compression therapy would be beneficial in controlling acute edema during RT. In this case when compression was applied during RT, treatment was able to be completed as planned in comparison to RT without compression where additional breaks in treatment were required due to edema and pain. There has been little published research examining edema management during RT for wide field skin cancerisation, however this case suggests further investigation is warranted to examine the potential value of compression therapy and accurate objective measures during VMAT for ESFC.

Authors: S B Shah , G Vishnoi , R Chawla , M Bhardwaj , B Shah S , G Vishnoi , R Chawla , M Bhardwaj
Published: January 2023

Currently there is a paucity of guidelines for anticipated difficult airways but awake intubation holds a pivotal position in all of these. Although awake fiberoptic intubation has long been considered the gold standard for difficult airway, awake videolaryngoscopic intubation is a promising alternative which is safe and effective, with myriad benefits like shorter duration of intubation, lesser technical skills required, shorter learning curve and better visualization when blood, copious secretions, tenacious sputum or debris obscures the glottic view. A detailed description of a lignocaine-topicalization with adjunctive propofol-sedation based technique for awake C-Mac D-Blade videolaryngoscopic intubation for anticipated extremely difficult airways in three patients follows.

Perfectionism in primary and secondary education: Bibliometric and thematic analysis
Authors: Avendaño Nerea Pamies
Published: January 2023

In the present work we intend to analyze the perfectionism as a characteristic feature of primary and secondary education students. Students with traits of perfectionism are characterized by setting very high standards in academic performance, making impeccable efforts, and establishing critical self-assessment. On the other hand, students with socially prescribed perfectionism are characterized by the beliefs that the subject has about the demands of significant people in their environment, whether these are real or not. This research aims to know the scientific production on perfectionism in Primary and Secondary Education students, published in the Web of Science database between 2017 and 2020. After analysing all the writings, a total of 227 articles were obtained, which were analyzed through various bibliometric indicators. It was observed that in relation to various thematic categories, such as family, emotional changes or academic performance, the most repeated in the works analyzed was that of Associated Psychopathologies, related to eating disorders, anxiety or depression. In addition, the results show that most of the works focus on Secondary Education students, and, therefore, older students, leaving Primary Education in the background. The conclusions of the investigation show that the age range from 6 to 12 years has not been investigated yet. Finally, different aspects of the subject are discussed and concluded in relation to the hypotheses raised at the beginning of the work, the limitations found throughout the study are presented, and reference is made to the conclusions. As possible future lines of research, it is proposed to analyze perfectionism in relation to various factors such as gender or the sociocultural environment of the students.

The connection between the gastrointestinal system (GI) and the central nervous system (CNS), together with the performance of the enteric nervous system (ENS), forms a complex communication network called the “gut-brain axis”. Scientific evidence indicates that the gut microbiota coordinates a multitude of bodily functions, closely linked to the immune, metabolic and nervous systems. In this context, any alteration that occurs in the “gut-brain axis” will result in damage to the homeostasis of the systems, because a dysfunction of the intestine-brain axis can lead to a dynamic impairment of the action of the protective barriers of the intestinal walls. Through directional gut-brain communication, the changes detected in the gastrointestinal tract affect the neurochemical transformations that occur in the CNS. The recognition of the relationship of neural aspects to the dynamics of the human microbiome contributes to the emergence of physiological imbalances that can contribute to the worsening of a wide spectrum of psychiatric disorders, with emphasis in the literature on anxiety disorders, depression, and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), schizophrenia and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The present literature review aims to verify the function and impact of the gut-brain axis in mood disorders, aiming to identify and strengthen evidence that the brain and gut have a strong and intimate connection responsible for the modulation of neurons, neurotransmitters, hormones and immunological mediators.

Authors: Javeria Hafiza
Published: January 2023

Dietary fiber is that part of plant material in our diet which is highly resistant to enzymatic digestion .It includes cellulose, hemicellulose, gums and mucilages. The diets which contains high content of dietary fiber include nuts, cereals fruits and vegetables. High dietary fiber intake protects from many chronic diseases like gastrointestinal tract problems, cancer, heart diseases and obesity. Fruits and vegetables contain great amount of dietary fiber in them and can be used in development of various products such as bakery, beverages and supplements. In the current project three vegetables taken considered as high dietary fiber to extract dietary fiber from them. Solanum lycopersicum, L. (Tomato), Brassica oleracea, L. (cabbage) and Ipomea batatas, (L.) Lam. (sweet potato) were analyzed. The chemical analysis of these vegetables fat%, ash%, moisture%, fiber%, protein% in addition to carbohydrate%. A product (muffin) was prepared of all these samples separately for entire dietary fiber analysis. The total dietary fiber of Brassica oleracea, L. (cabbage) was 7.21g, for Solanum lycopersicum, L. (tomato) was 6.43g and for Ipomea batatas, (L.) Lam. (sweet potato) the fiber content was 14.9g which shows that sweet potato has highest content of dietary fiber. It provides essential nutrients and helps to overcome the deficiency of dietary fiber in body as a baked product. It is formed as little cost supplement and available local source of vegetables.
Manage theory in the Russian educational literature
Authors: EP Tavokin
Published: January 2023

One of the most important reasons for the crisis state of modern Russia is the low level of managerial training of government officials. The obvious way to overcome this situation is to improve the quality of education of graduates of relevant universities. The author, considering the theory of manage as a generalizing discipline of the whole complex of subjects focused on the training of qualified managers, focuses on the educational literature in this area. Based on a detailed analysis of the content of one of the typical-the article shows that it is a collection of haughtily organized material that has little in common with the theory of manage, but is quite suitable for the formation of the notorious “competencies” introduced into the educational process by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. However, the main thing - the actual theory of manage - is not in the textbook. According to the author, the content of almost all educational publications on manage theory completely coincides with the nature and general orientation of the higher education system-the research institute of modern Russia, namely, the imitation of the educational process. Does this approach meet the needs of modern Russian society?

Diversity of modern avifauna of Ukraine
Authors: Fesenko H. V.
Published: January 2023

The work describes the status of 443 bird species that occurred or occur on the territory of Ukraine since the second third of the 19th century. In addition, the taxonomic list was supplemented with 370 subspecies recorded in the country during this period, that gives a detailed idea of the connections of the Ukrainian region with neighboring and much more distant areas of distribution of bird species. One of the species, which was previously included in our fauna, is proposed to be excluded due to unsuccessful introduction of it. With regard to the species of the Red Data Book of Ukraine, an estimate of their relative abundance is given. In some cases, the population is also estimated for other species, mostly non-numerous and migratory ones. The work contains an explanation of the choice of the Ukrainian names for certain bird species, regarding which discussions may arise. It contains not only Latin, and also English names of species from the Internet page of the International Union of Ornithologists. Native names are proposed for all nonnominative subspecies. This book can be useful both for professional researchers studying fauna and amateur nature lovers interested in its composition. To some extent, it can be used as a manual for translating foreign texts on ornithological topics into Ukrainian.

The activity of dissolved enzyme preparations during storage decreases, what leads to the loss of their biological activity and, as a result, reduces the effectiveness of the drugs. Therefore, the development of compositions that are able to maintain high activity of the hormone in dissolved form during long-term storage is relevant. The results of studies have shown that using sucrose as a stabilizing component for maintain gonadotropin activity is effective. It was found that during eight weeks of storage the best results on the preservation of gonadotropin activity during storage at 40°C were obtained in samples containing 75 mg/ml of sucrose compared to the sample of the control group. However, the highest gonadotropin activity was found when — 10 mg/ml L-lysine and 75 mg/ml sucrose were used as stabilizers. Studies of the dynamics of gonadotropin activity during long-term storage at 18–20°C showed that the addition of L-lysine and sucrose as stabilizing substances in the form of liposomal emulsion increases the preservation of chorionic hormone activity for 2 weeks of storage by 11.4% compared to similar composition pharmacological composition of the drug in aqueous form.

Egg production characterizes not only the economic efficiency of the poultry industry, but also the effect of various factors that contribute to the realization of the genetic potential in modern high-yielding breeds, crosses and lines, or suppress its processes. These factors include nutrition, which should take into account diet balancing according to certain nutrients, as well as their qualitative indicators. Nowadays on the feed market for farm animals there are the products characterized not only by a high protein content, but also by a high digestibility. Among others, a new innovative product — a sunflower concentrate “Proglot” developed by specialists of the “Potoky” Dnipro plant is noteworthy. According to the developers, in its manufacturing a unique nanotechnologies of sunflower seed processing were used — low-temperature extraction with maximal separation of the husk. Thus, “Proglot” can be more valuable for use in poultry feeding than high-protein soybean meal, due to the absence of “anti-nutrient” substances. The article presents the results of the study aimed to find out the productive qualities of laying hens fed a highly digestible protein with a high assimilation ratio into their diet. The experiment was conducted on the Lohmann brown breed laying hens. The control group received a compound feed containing soybean meal and sunflower meal (crude protein 17%), the 1st experimental group -— soybean meal and “Proglot” (high-protein concentrate crude protein 17%), and the 2nd experimental group — high-protein concentrate only (crude protein 15%). It was established that the replacement of soybean meal in the complex ration compound feed with the innovative product “Proglot” does not cause significant intergroup differences in the body weight of the hens during the experimental period. It was shown that the maximum increase in the proportion of digestible protein in the hens’ diet and the reduction of the fraction of protein that cannot be assimilated has a positive effect on the intensity of metabolic processes in the body of laying hens during the synthesis of egg components. At the same time, the poultry productivity increases: the indicators of laying hens of the 2nd research group exceeded the indicators of the analogues of the control and the 1st research groups by 2 and 4% (P<0.05), respectively, and the quality of the obtained products increases too — the absolute mass of egg protein (P<0.05) and shell strength (P<0.01).

The purpose of the work was to analyze the situation regarding to the status and prospects for the use of reproductive biotechnology to increase productivity in cattle breeding. In the conditions of dynamic growth of the planet’s population, global climate changes and the russian-Ukrainian war, food security in the whole world and in Ukraine in particular has become a key issue. To increase food stocks of animal origin, it is necessary first of all to intensify dairy and meat cattle breeding with the involvement of the best world genetics. This becomes possible thanks to the application of modern biotechnological methods of reproduction, some of which (artificial insemination, embryo transplantation) are successfully used in the world and in Ukraine, the other part (in vitro fertilization, cloning, creation of transgenic animals) is constantly developing and improving in countries with developed cattle breeding. Technologies of artificial insemination and transplantation of cattle embryos have been improved in Ukraine. Artificial insemination has been introduced into the practice of cattle breeding, work on embryo transplantation is being resumed, and in recent years, dairy farms have used sperm of bulls separated by sex. Scientists of the institutions of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine conduct sporadic experiments on in vitro fertilization and the creation of transgenic animals, which requires the expansion and deepening of these areas of research. To overcome modern challenges related to climate change and war, it is advisable to use biotechnological methods of reproduction in cattle breeding. For this, research on the development and implementation of the latest reproductive biotechnologies should be intensified: embryo transplantation, in vitro fertilization, creation of transgenic animals.

Published: January 2023

As of June 15, 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported 296 pediatric patients under investigation for hepatitis of unknown etiology in the United States; the World Health Organization has reported 650 probable cases worldwide. One of the leading hypotheses for this cluster of cases is adenovirus, a virus that commonly causes respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms in healthy children but rarely causes severe hepatitis or acute liver failure in immunocompetent children. The other leading hypothesis is that prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 may predispose children to developing liver injury from a normally innocuous agent. We describe a case of a previously healthy child presenting with acute liver failure who had detectable adenovirus DNA in his stool, whole blood, and in liver explant tissue, suggesting adenovirus as the likely etiology for the liver failure. He had no evidence of prior or current SARS-CoV-2 infection, nor had he received COVID vaccination, suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 did not play a role. Additionally, we report on the ability to provide rapid evaluation of a living donor within 72 hours and successfully perform a lifesaving, left-lobe, living donor liver transplant.

The Invocation of International Responsibility of the Artificial Intelligence
Authors:   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University, Kim Boyeon
Published: January 2023

This article examines the invocation of international responsibility arising from activities of the Artificial Intelligence(AI). The AI has capabilities to recognize the circumstances and determine beyond instruction or control of humans, and as a result it has become important how to regulate international responsibility involving the AI activities. This article examines the question whether it is possible and appropriate to apply the Draft Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts adopted by the International Law Commission to international wrongful acts through the AI.
The AI is characterized as an autonomous entity, in that it performs certain activities without human involvement in its perception and judgment. However, the AI is not currently recognized as an international person by the international community. In this regard, this article classifies types of internationally wrongful acts through the AI, then explores pathways to invoke state responsibility in light of each type of acts. First of all, the rules of attribution shall be streamlined to international activities involving the AI. In particular, the effective control test which has been utilized as a standard for attributing activities of a person or the group of persons to a state is not appropriate in attributing the activities of the AI to relevant state entities. Secondly, this article submits that state responsibility involving the AI activities may be invoked based on due diligence obligation of states. In conclusion, it is not appropriate to apply the current jurisprudence of state responsibility to activities involving the AI, and accordingly it is necessary to consider due diligence obligation in invoking international responsibility of states in utilizing the AI.

Implementing Music into Foreign Language Teaching
Authors: Kaneva Penka
Published: January 2023

Results from recently published scientific papers which reveal how music activities influence language development are presented in the article. A statement is made that in order to be able to implement cross-curricular links future teachers should be well acquainted with the theoretical grounds and possibilities for integrating music with foreign language teaching. The results from a survey of future teachers’ views on the relationship between music and language development and on the ways of implementing musical elements in language teaching and learning are presented in the paper. Introducing the new academic course “Musical works into the foreign language teaching of young learners (English)” into the syllabus was the reason to do the survey. On the basis of the survey data some conclusions are made. Although the future teachers’ views on the influence of music on language development are still imprecise and incomplete they all show a positive attitude towards implementing music in the process of teaching a foreign language to children. The course “Musical works into the foreign language teaching of young learners (English)” will give students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the results of recently done scientific research that reveal particular facts and parameters of this influence and will help them acquire competences for implementing musical works into the process of teaching a foreign language to children.
The Cinematic Christ-figure: From Everyman to Antihero-antichrist
Authors: Kozlovic Anton Karl
Published: January 2023

In this second century of the Age of Hollywood and the reign of moving image culture, popular feature films are nowadays the lingua franca of our youth throughout Western society, and the natural home of numerous sacred subtexts; most notably the cinematic Christ-figure, but hitherto unexplicated in-depth to date. Consequently, a broad review of the critical religion-and-film literature plus a close reading of selected feature films utilizing humanist film criticism as the guiding analytical lens (i.e., examining the textual world inside the frame, but not necessarily the world outside the frame), revealed at least six (but not necessarily mutually exclusive) categories of the cinematic Christ-figure, namely: (1) Everyman Christ-figures: Earth-sourced Humans, (2) Alien Christ-figures: Extraterrestrial Messiahs, (3) Female Christ-figures: Gender Swapping Jesuses, (4) Animal Christ-figures: Veterinary Versions, (5) Inanimate Christ-figures: The Holy Non-living, and (6) Antihero-antichrist-figures: The Shadows of the Christos. To ensure category robustness, they were sourced from different directors, genres, countries, aesthetic styles, and release decades. Each category was briefly explicated and illustrated herein. It was concluded that the sacred subtexts subgenre within the exciting emerging field of religion-and-film is immense, under-explored, awaiting (re-)discovery, and with a promising future worthy of further investigation and pedagogic deployment within the classroom, home or pulpit. All of which strongly implies that these cinematic extra-ecclesiastical sources of insight function as modern-day missionaries that expands theological discussion far beyond Bible readings and tracking of the Apostle’s journeys that more often had to be endured by students rather than enjoyed.
God in dialogue with His creation
Authors: May Andreas
Published: January 2023

Christian faith, theology and natural sciences are brought into conversation with each other to analyse different aspects of the dialogue between God and his creation. The methodological approach consists of bringing research results from theology and the natural sciences documented in current publications as well as philosophical considerations into a dialogue with the Christian faith. Furthermore, the chronological development is given special attention. Both philosophical considerations and physical observations show that this universe was created by a transcendent intelligent supreme being, the Christian God, and that it is very important for this supreme being to communicate with the intelligent living beings in this universe. God entered and continues to enter into an ever more intense and intimate dialogue with his creation in various ways, both in Earth history and evolution, and in the history of the people of Israel, as well as today in the Christian era. To remove all possible barriers and obstacles to dialogue, God himself became man in Jesus Christ. The incarnation of Jesus Christ is the culmination of the dialogue between God and his creation. The incarnation and resurrection of Jesus Christ had a very great impact on the triune God. God gives himself so much to the dialogue with his creation that he takes into his innermost being the human body of Jesus Christ, which is a part of his creation marked by time. At the end of time, all human beings who have chosen God will live eternally with each other and with the triune God in comprehensive and fulfilling communion. This all-encompassing and all-fulfilling dialogue of love will originate from the triune God and will fill and glorify the whole of creation. The article shows that dialogue is central to understanding the relationship between God and his creation. The intra-Trinitarian dialogue of love between the three persons of God is the starting point, model and goal of both creation and God's dialogue with his creation. Contribution: The synthesis of Christian faith, theology and natural sciences makes it possible to see more clearly how much God is in dialogue with his creation. This can help us to recognise more deeply God's love for his creation and especially for us humans, and to act from this insight.
The economic and legal prerequisites for reorganization of economic organizations

Published: January 2023

Globalization, macroeconomic processes, and a quickly changeable competitive environment require a new level of development of national markets, which become more integrated. This all predetermines a requirement in defense of the interests of economic entities in relation to strengthening their positions on the proper markets through the introduction of different methods and instruments of an economic and legal character, in particular via the application of reorganization procedures.
It is justified, that reorganization of economic organizations, as a legally effective form of solving economic and legal tasks for the preservation of the subject of economic activity and strengthening of the position on the proper market, ahead of a number of relevant objective economic (expansion of economic activity by means of application of synergy effect; diversification of production, capital and activity; increase of own capital; acquisition of assets at a price lower than the replacement cost; competitive advantages in creating barriers to eliminating potential competitors entering the market; additional advantages – possession of licenses, patents, know-how of other economic entities, which are at the disposal of another enterprise; loss of production or partial curtailment of activity; change of criteria of the form of doing business) and legal (the relevant requirements in the sphere of antimonopoly and competition legislation, tax legislation, legislation on the procedure and registration of shares issue, legislation on protection of legal rights and interests of creditors, participants (shareholders), employees, etc.) factors (prerequisites).
It is proposed to consider the economic and legal prerequisites for reorganization of economic organizations as a complex set of interrelated economic and legal preliminary conditions, the presence of which directs the business entity to choose such an effective legal instrument as a reorganization to strengthen positions on the proper market, to deepen and expand the specialization of production costs, and, as a result, to increase competitiveness of manufactured products, to perform works, to provide services
UPDATE ON MYASTHENIA GRAVIS

Abstract

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease mediated by autoantibodies against various transmembrane proteins located on the post synaptic membrane. Our understanding of pathophysiology has vastly improved over the last decade, resulting in the development of individualized therapeutic options. Classification into myasthenia subgroups, depending on the antibody profile, helps to better characterize, treat, and prognosticate patients. It is quite evident that MuSK myasthenia needs early Rituximab intervention for a stable remission. Role of thymectomy, although never in doubt, was recently proven in randomized controlled trial. With the advent of monoclonal antibodies and other newer modalities, we should evolve beyond the conventional immunosuppressives, given their toxicities. Better potential options are now available to treat the refractory subgroup. Future of myasthenia treatment clearly has rosy predictions. Present review is an update on myasthenia gravis.
STROKES IN COVID- 19

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that is ravaging the world is caused by infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV- 2). The dominant features of COVID- 19 are fever, respiratory and gastro intestinal; however, it is also known to cause neurological complications. Even early in the pandemic thrombotic complications associated with COVID- 19 were recognised including COVID- 19 associated acute ischemic strokes (AIS).
Autoimmune encephalitis - Recent Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Jain Rajendra S
Published: January 2023

Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a group of acute to subacute onset, rapidly progressive, non-infectious, immune-mediated, inflammatory disorders of the brain parenchyma often affecting the cortical or deep grey matter with or without involving the white matter, meninges or spinal cord.1-4 An estimated prevalence rate for AE is 13.7/100 000, so possibly as common as infectious encephalitis.5 ‘Autoimmune neurology’ is coming up with the advent of newer antibodies and associated syndromes.6 Identifying these disorders is rewarding in view of favourable response to immunotherapy compared to infectious encephalitis with limited therapeutic options. Clinicians need to suspect AE clinically first to plan investigations and early treatment.1 Long-term management depends on antibody identified. Recent guidelines for diagnosis and management of AE are discussed here.
A rare Demyelinating Disease: cause of acute hemiparesis in a young male

Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system are frequently encountered pathological entities; Multiple Sclerosis (MS) being the most common. Atypical forms of demyelinating diseases such as tumefactive demyelination run an aggressive course, masquerading MS but without classical features of MS. These aggressive entities represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for physicians. The manifestations of a demyelinating disease are protean. This case was fascinating for two reasons: the diagnostic challenge it posed in the face of different etiologies of a demyelinating disease and the rapid response to plasma exchange and rituximab therapy in the acute phase of the disease.
Virus in the throat; Man on the floor Syncopal episodes in a man with Covid-19

Even though infection with SARS-CoV-2 presents primarily with respiratory symptoms, unusual clinical manifestations have also been reported during the current pandemic. In May 2020, a middle-aged man presented to us with three episodes of impaired consciousness, which clinically appeared to be syncopal episodes. Patient had history of a single episode of mild fever 6 days prior to presentation, not accompanied by any respiratory symptoms. As a routine, swab for SARS-CoV-2 was sent and he tested positive. Holter recording was able to record sinus bradycardia followed by junctional escape during one such episode. Patient was managed symptomatically and there was no further recurrence of syncope.

Anesthesia management of patients posted for resection of rhino-orbital mucormycosis developed as a postCovid sequale: Sharing our experiences
Authors: Ansari Azra Jabeen Wahab
Published: January 2023

Background: Although Mucormycosis is a rare life-threatening fungal infection mainly seen in immunocompromised patients, there has been increasing number of mucormycosis cases presenting as a post COVID sequale mainly from India.  Uncontrolled diabetes and overzealous use of steroid seems to be two main aggravating factors. Aggressive medical and surgical management of mucormycosis decreases mortality rate from 88% to 21%.

Aim: This study is aimed to evaluate anaesthetic challenges in the post COVID patients coming for surgical clearance of mucormycosis.

Demographic characteristics, associated comorbidities, procedural data, surgical details, hospital stay and mortality rates were reviewed in 32 patients. The mean age of our patients was 52.66 yrs. and 96.9% had associated comorbidities. Two (6.3%) patients had mallampati classification (MPC) IV and 12 had III (40.6%). Average anaesthesia duration was 282.5 min with mean blood loss 792 ml. Twenty-one (65.6%) patients were shifted to ICU (intensive care unit) out of which 15 (46.87%) were electively ventilated. Mortality was seen in 2 patients with mortality rate of 6.25%.

Conclusion: Surgical resection of mucormycosis in post covid patients presents unique challenges – associated comorbidities, difficult airway, prolonged surgical duration, intraoperative hemodynamic instability massive blood loss, Amphotericin B related side effects mainly nephrotoxicity and hypokalemia, need for postoperative ventilation and prolonged hospital stay. Preoperative optimization, careful intraoperative monitoring and postoperative management are necessary for better outcome.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ascites following ventriculoperitoneal (V-P) shunting for hydrocephalus is a very rare complication. A 29-year-old male with communicating hydrocephalus and ventriculoperitoneal shunt in-situ, presented with tense ascites. Extensive investigations in the form of complete blood count (CBC), renal function test (RFT), liver function test (LFT), Computerised Tomography (CT) of brain, Contrast Enhanced CT (CECT) of Abdomen, paracentesis was done. Ascitic fluid β2-tranferrin test was positive indicating that the ascitic fluid was indeed CSF, therefore a diagnosis of CSF ascites was made. The patient’s ventriculoperitoneal shunt was converted into a ventriculoatrial shunt. Following the procedure, there has been no refilling of ascites, thus, further confirming the diagnosis of CSF ascites. The aetiology of CSF ascites seems to be some unknown pathological process wherein the peritoneum failed to absorb CSF.
