PEŞƏYƏ GÖRƏ DİLİN SOSİAL DİFERENSİALLAŞMASI
Authors: FARACOV Anar
Published: December 2021

Dilin sosial diferensiallaşmasının əsas istiqamətlərindən birini müxtəlif peşələrə aid

insanların dil xüsusiyyətləri təşkil edir. Hər bir peşənin özünəməxsus leksikası mövcuddur.

Onu da qeyd edək ki, dünyada bütün dillərdə peşə leksikasının inkişafı eyni formada özünü

göstərmir. İnkişaf etmiş cəmiyyətlərdə peşələrə aid leksika daha zəngindir.

Bu tədqiqatın əsas məqsədi dilin peşəyə görə diferensiallaşmasının əsas əlamətlərini

üzə çıxartmaqdır. Dilin peşələrə görə diferensiallaşmasının əsasında peşə-sənət leksikası durur.

Bunun özündə də bir çox mübahisəli məsələlər vardır. Əsas müqayisəli məqam isə onların

qarşılaşdırılması və ya eyniləşdirilməsi ilə bağlıdır. Bu qarşılaşdırmada diqqət çəkən məqamları

aşağıdakı istiqamətlərdə göstərmək mümkündür: peşə-sənət leksikası və jarqonlar, peşə-sənət

leksikası və dialektizmlər, peşə-sənət leksikası və terminlər.

Dilin sosial peşə diferensiallaşması digər dil diferensiallaşmalarından bir çox cəhətlərə

görə də fərqlənir. Peşə dillərinin intensiv inkişafı, yeni peşələrin yaranması ilə dilin leksik

tərkibinin dəyişməsini əsas fərqləndirici əlamətlər saymaq olar. Dil səviyyələri üzrə isə leksik

səviyyədən başqa, sintaktik səviyyədə, həmçinin mətnin komponentlərinin qurulması

baxımından da fərqlər müşahidə olunur.
Reasons for Modern Warming: Hypotheses and Facts
Authors: Zavalishin Nikolai Nikolaevich
Published: December 2021

Two hypotheses of modern warming are considered: natural and anthropogenic. The probabilities of each of them are compared. It is proved that the hypothesis of natural warming is much more likely than the hypothesis of anthropogenic warming. It is shown that the displacement of the Sun from the center of mass of the solar system directly affects the temperature of the surface atmosphere in the synoptic regions of Eurasia. This result corresponds to the model of E. P. Borysenkov with variations of the solar constant or, equivalently, with variations of the Bond albedo.
Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) Ethanol Extract decreases hs-CRP levels and Total Score of Renal Tubular Degeneration in Rat Model of Gentamicine-Induced Renal Damage
Authors: Saptaningtyas Ragil , Chasani Shofa , Nasihun Taufiqurrachman
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Injection of intraperitoneal gentamicin at a dose of 60 mg/kg BW intra-peritoneal in rats for 7 days has been shown to trigger renal tubular degeneration and increase in high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level. The use of purslane (Portulaca oleracea) to reduce hs-CRP levels and total score of renal tubular degeneration has not been reported.Objective: to determine the effect of purslane ethanol extract on hs-CRP levels and renal tubular degeneration score in gentamicin induced-renal damage in rats.Methods: This was a study using posttest only control group design. Twentyfive male Wistar rats aged 8-12 weeks, weighed 150-200 grams were allocated into 5 groups: normal (Nor-G), without treatment; negative (Neg-G), gentamicin (60 mg/kg BW), intraperitoneally; P-200; P-300 ; P-400 (gentamicin plus purslane extract at a dose of 200, 300, and 400 respectively) for 7 days. The hs-CRP was evaluated using the ELISA method. Total score of renal tubular degeneration was evaluated using modified score of Sarjadi.Results: there was a significant difference in mean hsCRP level and total score of renal tubular degeneration between groups (p <0.05). Posthoc analysis showed that hsCRP level and total score group of P-200, P-300 and P-400 were significantly lower than those of Neg-G, p <0.05. Meanwhile, the levels of hsCRP and total score of renal tubular degeneration in P-200, P-300, P-400, and Nor-G groups were not significantly different (p> 0.05).Conclusion: the administration of purslane ethanol extract at doses of 200, 300, and 400 mg/kg BW for 7 days improve hs-CRP level and total score of tubular degeneration similar to normal.
Votive Dedication of the Spartans for the Battle of Tanagra
Authors: Caroni Raffaella
Published: December 2021

Three fragments of a marble stele recomposed and integrated by K. Purgold in 1881 thanks to the Periegesis of Pausanias (5.10.4). It is an inscription of six lines. The first four lines, reported by Pausanias, form an epigram related to a gilded bronze shield placed on the eastern pediment of the temple of Olympian Zeus and dedicated by the Spartans for the victory in the battle of Tanagra (457 BC) over the Athenians and their allies. The last two lines, not recorded in the Periegesis, were to be in prose, and probably contained a list of Spartan allies. The inscription uses the archaic alphabet of Corinth that is evolving in the fifth century BC.
Decree of Delphi for the inhabitants of Chios
Authors: De Luca Gaia
Published: December 2021

The document bears testimony of the concession of προμαντεία privilege by Delphi to the Chiotes, inscribed on an altar built by the Chiotes themselves inside the temple of Apollo in Delphi. This concession was probably made in the early IV century BC but it was graved on the stone at the end of the same century. Indeed, the altar is to be dated around the end of the IV century BC, after the earthquake that damaged the first altar, probably also built by the Chiotes and cited by Herodotus in 2.135. Though the concession of this privilege by the inhabitants of Delphi is very common, the monumental dimensions and the function of the altar offered by the Chiotes makes it quite extraordinary. Nevertheless, we must spoke of a relative priority, since the inhabitants of Delphi remained the first ones to consult the oracle of Apollo.
The Digital Urban Experience of a Lost City
Using Mixed Methods to Depict the Historical Street Life of Edo/Tokyo
Authors: Saygi Gamze , Yasunaga Marie
Published: December 2021

This paper digitally reconstructs street life in Edo (present-day Tokyo), the largest lost city of the pre-modern world. The ephemeral character of the Edo makes the historic urban experience extremely difficult to capture. We argue that the hypothetical digital reconstructions should incorporate evidence on human agency and spatial properties for a holistic simulation of historic street life. We develop a 3D hypothetical reconstruction based on multi-layered historical evidence to unlock the lost character of the Edo streets. It reveals the streets of Edo, including the rhythms of everyday life and the impact of the material culture.
Digital Archaeology: From Interdisciplinarity to the ‘Fusion’ of Core Competences
Towards the Consolidation of New Research Areas
Authors: Moscati Paola
Published: December 2021

The aim of this article is to explore the interdisciplinary turn observed in the development of humanities computing, in terms of integration and fusion of expertise. The debate started with the Seminar on Discipline umanistiche e informatica. Il problema dell’integrazione, held in 1991 at the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Moving backwards in time, already from the 1960s the role of ‘integration’ was at the heart of many interdisciplinary initiatives supported by the National Research Council of Italy and the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei as part of their coordinated efforts to promote scientific progress. Through a number of archaeological case studies pivoting around the Etruscan civilisation, it will be shown how over time archaeological computing, and its evolution towards digital archaeology, has found in GIS and multimedia systems a unitary platform on which methods and practice of data acquisition, analysis, interpretation, and communication can converge. The concept of ‘fusion’, however, is much more recent and responds to a global resource management model, which combines the methods of archaeology with the objectives of Heritage Science, along the research path that goes from field and laboratory investigation to the protection, enhancement and communication of cultural heritage.
Dependence of the isotopic composition of different precipitation types on air temperature in Central Antarctica

Published: December 2021

Water isotopes are key proxies to reconstruct past climatic conditions on our planet based on Antarctic ice core data. The accuracy of climate reconstructions depends on understanding the whole range of the processes involved in the formation of precipitation isotopic composition. The isotopic composition of precipitation in Central Antarctica has been studied in a number of works, but the difference between the isotopic composition of different types of precipitation has not yet been fully described.There are three main type of precipitation in Central Antarctica: snow, ice needles and hoar. The aim of this work is to establish the dependence of isotopic composition of different precipitation types on temperature. Precipitation samples were collected at Vostok station in Central Antarctica from 1998 to 2020 and further analyzed for δ18O and δD. For each precipitation event we have meteorological data, averaged over the time of precipitation fallout. Mean values of δD for each precipitation type were defined as follows: –444±6.5 ‰ for diamond dust, –480± 6 ‰ for hoar and –95±11 ‰ for snow. The seasonal variability of the temperature dependence of the isotopic composition was studied using the example of ice needles. According to our data, the dependence is insignificant in winter, but this needs to be confirmed by an extended dataset. The largest slope of the isotope-temperature dependence regression line is observed for the summer period and is equal to 5.34±3.11 ‰·°С–1, the autumn season has a slope of 2.1±1.3 ‰·°С–1, while for the spring period we do not have enough data for analysis. There is an insignificant difference in the slopes of the isotope-temperature dependence for different types of precipitation: 2.93±0.51 ‰·°С–1 for ice needles, 2.32±1.34 ‰·°С–1 for snow and 2.52±0.35 ‰·°С–1 for hoar. We studied the effect of blizzards on the isotopic composition of samples and concluded that one should avoid using data collected during a blizzard to study the differences in the formation of the isotopic signal for different types of precipitation.This work brings us closer to understanding how isotopic composition is formed in each type of precipitation and what information it provides. This will contribute to a more accurate interpretation of the isotope signal from ice cores.

PERBANDINGAN AKUNTANSI KONVENSIONAL DAN AKUNTANSI SYARIAH MENURUT PEMIKIRAN SOFYAN SYAFRI HARAHAP
Authors: Riyansyah Ahmad
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this study is to analyze the comparison of conventional accounting and Islamic accounting derived from the thoughts of Sofyan Syafri Harahap. Currently, the implementation of Islamic accounting is not widely practiced even neglected by companies due to the lack of introduction and concentration of Islamic accounting knowledge. This is because there are still few researchers who study and formulate the practice of Islamic accounting. The form of this research is qualitative through a descriptive approach. The method of the data collection is carried out through various sources including literature review of several related books, articles and related dissertations. Based on the analysis results, it is found that in comparison Sofyan Syafri Harahap argues that conventional accounting has many drawbacks. This is evident from the content of the verses in the Al-Qur'an and also the opinion of several previous Islamic scholars such as Lucas Pacioli. Islamic accounting must be able to guarantee that the information compiled or presented must be correct and free from elements of fraud or injustice, free from partiality to certain interests. The information provided must be transparent, tested, and can be accounted for in the afterlife. Knowledge of Islam is absolutely necessary to view accounting from an Islamic perspective.

Optimal Design Approach for One-dimensional Rubber-Concrete Periodic Foundations based on Analytical Approximations of Band Gaps
Authors: Xu Zhifeng
Published: December 2021

This research presents an optimal design approach for one-dimensional rubber-concrete periodic foundations based on the proposed analytical approximations and mapping relations of the first few band gaps. The presented design approach can search for the optimal solution in a global sense through effectively cooperating the band gaps with the superstructure’s resonance frequencies. Firstly, analytical approximation formulas for the first few band gaps, mapping relations among frequency points inside the band gaps, and special approximations for the first band gap of one-dimensional rubber-concrete periodic foundations are proposed and verified. Furthermore, inspired by the proposed analytical approximations and the mapping relations, an optimal design approach for one-dimensional rubber-concrete periodic foundations is presented and applied to a practical example, whose optimality is demonstrated both theoretically and numerically
Enrichment of Components at Vapour-Liquid Interfaces: A Study by Molecular Simulation and Density Gradient Theory
Authors: Stephan Simon , Langenbach Kai , Hasse Hans
Published: December 2021

In separation processes not only thermodynamic bulk but also interfacial properties play a crucial role. Inclassical theory, a vapour-liquid interface is a two-dimensional object. In reality it is a region in whichproperties change over a few nanometres and the density changes continuously from its liquid bulk to its gasbulk value. Many mixtures show unexpected effects in that transition region. While the total density changesmonotonously from the bulk vapour to the bulk liquid, this does not hold for the molarities of the components.The molarities of the light boiling component can have a distinct maximum at the interface. That maximumwould be an insurmountable obstacle to mass transfer according to Fickian theory. Even if that argument isnot adopted, it shows that there is good reason to believe that the maximum may affect mass transfer and,hence, fluid separation processes like absorption or distillation. Unfortunately, there are currently noexperimental methods that can be used for direct studies of density profiles in such interfacial regions. Butsuch data can be obtained with theoretical methods, namely with molecular dynamics simulations (MD) aswell as with density gradient theory (DGT) or with density functional theory (DFT) combined with an equationof state (EOS).Studies from our group on the vapour-liquid interface of several real mixtures and a model fluid using thesemethods yield consistent results and reveal an important enrichment in some cases. Strong enrichment isfound at vapour-liquid interfaces in the systems in which one of the components is supercritical. These resultsindicate that mixtures, which are typical for absorption processes usually show an important enrichment,whereas this is not the case for mixtures that are typically separated by distillation. Possible consequences ofthis finding for the modelling of these separation processes are discussed.
"All mimsy were the borogoves” – A discriminative learning model of morphological knowledge in pseudo-word inflection
Authors: Nieder Jessica , van de Vijver Ruben , Tomaschek Fabian
Published: December 2021

Grammatical knowledge of native speakers has often been investigated in so-called wug tests, in which participants have to inflect pseudo-word forms (wugs). Typically it has been argued that in inflecting these pseudo-words, speakers apply their knowledge of word formation processes. However, it remains unclear what exactly this knowledge is and how it is learned.According to one theory, the knowledge is best characterized as abstractions and rules that specify how units can be combined. Another theory maintains that it is best characterized by analogy. In both cases the knowledge is learned by association based on positive evidence alone.In this paper, we model the classification of pseudo-words to Maltese plural classes on the basis of phonetic input using a shallow neural network trained with an error-driven learning algorithm. We demonstrate that the classification patterns mirror those of Maltese native speakers in a wug test. Our results indicate that speakers rely on gradient knowledge of a relation between the phonetics of whole words and plural classes, which is learned in an error-driven way.
Der Einfluss der innerschulischen Peer-Group auf die individuelle Studienentscheidung
Authors: Helbig Marcel , Marczuk Anna
Published: December 2021

Um Übergangsfaktoren in die Hochschule zu identifizieren, hat die bisherige Forschung vor allem die Merkmale von Studienberechtigten betrachtet. Deutlich weniger ist hingegen zur Rolle des Schulkontextes bekannt. In unserer Untersuchung analysieren wir, inwiefern die Mitschüler:innen (Peer-Group) die individuelle Studierneigung beeinflussen. Unsere Annahmen lauten: Je mehr Schüler:innen in einer Schule aus Akademikerfamilien stammen und je mehr Schüler:innen ein Studium planen, desto wahrscheinlicher ist eine Studienplanung bei einzelnen Schüler:innen. Zur Prüfung dieser Hypothesen wurden Mehrebenenanalysen anhand der Daten des Studienberechtigtenpanels des Deutschen Zentrums für Hochschul- und Wissenschaftsforschung (DZHW) berechnet. Es zeigt sich, dass ein höherer Anteil an Mitschüler:innen, die ein Studium planen, die Studienentscheidung einzelner Schüler:innen begünstigt. Die soziale Zusammensetzung (Anteil Akademikerkinder) scheint hingegen keine eindeutige Rolle zu spielen. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass die Peers über Werte und Normen und weniger über die Informationsweitergabe die Studienentscheidung einzelner Schüler:innen beeinflussen. Insgesamt konnte dargestellt werden, dass die Schule ein wichtiger Sozialisationsraum ist, in dem Bildungsentscheidungen beeinflusst werden.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Filipino North American patients: Results from a multi-ethnic cohort
Authors: Jiang Shirley X , Trasolini Roberto , Heer Michael , Cox Benjamin , Galts Ciaran , Marquez Vladimir , Yoshida Eric M
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is more prevalent in certain ethnicities due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and metabolic factors. North American Filipino populations may have lifestyle and metabolic risk factors for NAFLD; however, the prevalence of NAFLD in this group is unknown. We sought to determine whether Filipino patients are over-represented in a multi-ethnic NAFLD cohort and describe their clinical presentation, primarily compared to other ethnicities in the same geographical region and secondarily compared to Manila-based Filipino patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with patients with NAFLD who were followed at the Hepatology Clinic at Vancouver General Hospital, Canada, from January 2015 to August 2018. Data were extracted for clinicodemographic data, ethnicity, anthropometric measures, blood work, and transient elastography (TE). External comparison data was obtained online from the Metro Vancouver census and a NAFLD study conducted in Manila, Philippines. RESULTS: Of 317 patients meeting inclusion criteria for the study, 224 patients had complete datasets. The mean age was 51.1 years, and 50% were female. There were 139 (62%) Caucasian and other ethnicity patients, 55 (25%) Asian patients, and 30 (13%) Filipino patients. Compared to other ethnic groups, the Filipino group had similar clinical characteristics, including NAFLD fibrosis scores and TE. Of included NAFLD patients, the proportion of Filipino patients (13.39%) was significantly greater than the proportion of Filipino residents in Metro Vancouver (5.52%, p <0.01). Our Filipino Canadians seemed to be younger, with fewer females and a lower proportion of diabetes mellitus, but a higher proportion of hypertension than the previously reported cohort from Manila. CONCLUSIONS: While Filipino patients have not previously been examined in multi-ethnic NAFLD studies, they may represent a high-risk population. Further research is needed to clarify the prevalence and presentation of NAFLD in Filipino Canadian patients, as this appears to be a significant health issue in this community.
Necropolitics and Culture; or the Embedding of Cultural Practices in Necropower
Authors: Santiáñez Nil
Published: December 2021

In the burgeoning field of necropolitical studies, priority has been given to the exploration of material practices. Culture is generally regarded either as secondary to these practices or as a set of mimetic representations of necropolitics. In contrast to such approaches, this article contends that the critical gaze ought to be directed at necropower’s production of cultural artifacts meant to achieve necropolitical goals. A theory of necropolitics that does not encompass the necropolitical production and manipulation of culture is insufficient for it fails to give a complete and thorough account of the complex and variegated technologies of necropower. Cultural practices are much more than simple representations of necropolitics or their ideological or theoretical substratum; they also have the ability to subjugate life to the power of death by actively participating in the construction of death-worlds. This thesis is demonstrated by means of an analysis of the interconnection between necropolitics and culture in General Franco’s Spain (1939–75). The adoption of the theoretical standpoint put forth in this article might refine and broaden the field of necropolitical studies. Discussions on necropolitics need to open up to the embedding of culture in necropower. Centred on the analysis of the role of cultural practices within necropolitics, this direction might prove fruitful in future studies for it would reveal, with more precision than the studies limited to analysing the material dimension of necropolitics, the extent, the force, the tools, and the power of coercion of the politics of death.

OBJECTIVE

Glibenclamide has been shown to improve outcomes in cerebral ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The authors sought to evaluate glibenclamide’s impact on mortality and functional outcomes of patients with aneurysmal SAH (aSAH).

METHODS

Patients with radiologically confirmed aSAH, aged 18 to 70 years, who presented to the hospital within 96 hours of ictus were randomly allocated to receive 5 mg of oral glibenclamide for 21 days or placebo, in a modified intention-to-treat analysis. Outcomes were mortality and functional status at discharge and 6 months, evaluated using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

RESULTS

A total of 78 patients were randomized and allocated to glibenclamide (n = 38) or placebo (n = 40). Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. The mean patient age was 53.1 years, and the majority of patients were female (75.6%). The median Hunt and Hess, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS), and modified Fisher scale (mFS) scores were 3 (IQR 2–4), 3 (IQR 3–4), and 3 (IQR 1–4), respectively. Glibenclamide did not improve the functional outcome (mRS) after 6 months (ordinal analysis, unadjusted common OR 0.66 [95% CI 0.29–1.48], adjusted common OR 1.25 [95% CI 0.46–3.37]). Similar results were found for analyses considering the dichotomized 6-month mRS score (favorable score 0–2), as well as for the secondary outcomes of discharge mRS score (either ordinal or dichotomized), mortality, and delayed cerebral ischemia. Hypoglycemia was more frequently observed in the glibenclamide group (5.3%).

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, glibenclamide was not associated with better functional outcomes after aSAH. Mortality and delayed cerebral ischemia rates were also similar compared with placebo.

OBJECTIVE

The incidence of hemorrhage in patients who undergo deep brain stimulation (DBS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is between 0.5% and 2.5%. Coagulation status is one of the factors that can predispose patients to the development of these complications. As a routine part of preoperative assessment, the authors obtain prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), and platelet count. However, insurers often cover only PT/PTT laboratory tests if the patient is receiving warfarin/heparin. The authors aimed to examine their experience with abnormal coagulation parameters in patients who underwent neuromodulation.

METHODS

Patients who underwent neuromodulation (SCS, DBS, or intrathecal pump implantation) over a 9-year period and had preoperative laboratory values available were included. The authors determined abnormal values on the basis of a clinical protocol utilized at their practice, which combined the normal ranges of the laboratory tests and clinical relevance. This protocol had cutoff values of 12 seconds and 39 seconds for PT and PTT, respectively, and < 120,000 platelets/μl. The authors identified risk factors for these abnormalities and described interventions.

RESULTS

Of the 1767 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 136 had abnormal preoperative laboratory values. Five of these 136 patients had values that were misclassified as abnormal because they were within the normal ranges at the outside facility where they were tested. Fifty-one patients had laboratory values outside the ranges of our protocol, but the surgeons reviewed and approved these patients without further intervention. Of the remaining 80 patients, 8 had known coagulopathies and 24 were receiving warfarin/heparin. The remaining 48 patients were receiving other anticoagulant/antiplatelet medications. These included apixaban/rivaroxaban/dabigatran anticoagulants (n = 22; mean ± SD PT 13.7 ± 2.5 seconds) and aspirin/clopidogrel/other antiplatelet medications (n = 26; mean ± SD PT 14.4 ± 5.8 seconds). Eight new coagulopathies were identified and further investigated with hematological analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

New anticoagulants and antiplatelet medications are not monitored with PT/PTT, but they affect coagulation status and laboratory values. Although platelet function tests aid in a subset of medications, it is more difficult to assess the coagulation status of patients receiving novel anticoagulants. PT/PTT may provide value preoperatively.
Intraoperative motor and somatosensory evoked potential monitoring during surgical clipping of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms: a comparative study
Authors: You Hao , Fan Xing , Liu Jiajia , Guo Dongze , Li Zhibao , Qiao Hui
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE

The current study investigated the correlation between intraoperative motor evoked potential (MEP) and somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) monitoring and both short-term and long-term motor outcomes in aneurysm patients treated with surgical clipping. Moreover, the authors provide a relatively optimal neurophysiological predictor of postoperative motor deficits (PMDs) in patients with ruptured and unruptured aneurysms.

METHODS

A total of 1017 patients (216 with ruptured aneurysms and 801 with unruptured aneurysms) were included. Patient demographic characteristics, clinical features, intraoperative monitoring data, and follow-up data were retrospectively reviewed. The efficacy of using changes in MEP/SSEP to predict PMDs was assessed using binary logistic regression analysis. Subsequently, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the optimal critical value for duration of MEP/SSEP deterioration.

RESULTS

Both intraoperative MEP and SSEP monitoring were significantly effective for predicting short-term (p < 0.001 for both) and long-term (p < 0.001 for both) PMDs in aneurysm patients. The critical values for predicting short-term PMDs were amplitude decrease rates of 57.30% for MEP (p < 0.001 and area under the curve [AUC] 0.732) and 64.10% for SSEP (p < 0.001 and AUC 0.653). In patients with an unruptured aneurysm, the optimal critical values for predicting short-term PMDs were durations of deterioration of 17 minutes for MEP (p < 0.001 and AUC 0.768) and 21 minutes for SSEP (p < 0.001 and AUC 0.843). In patients with a ruptured aneurysm, the optimal critical values for predicting short-term PMDs were durations of deterioration of 12.5 minutes for MEP (p = 0.028 and AUC 0.706) and 11 minutes for SSEP (p = 0.043 and AUC 0.813).

CONCLUSIONS

The authors found that both intraoperative MEP and SSEP monitoring are useful for predicting short-term and long-term PMDs in patients with unruptured and ruptured aneurysms. The optimal intraoperative neuromonitoring method for predicting PMDs varies depending on whether the aneurysm has ruptured or not.

OBJECTIVE

Robotics is a major area for research and development in spine surgery. The high accuracy of robot-assisted placement of thoracolumbar pedicle screws is documented in the literature. The authors present the largest case series to date evaluating 90-day complication, revision, and readmission rates for robot-assisted spine surgery using the current generation of robotic guidance systems.

METHODS

An analysis of a retrospective, multicenter database of open and minimally invasive thoracolumbar instrumented fusion surgeries using the Mazor X or Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic guidance systems was performed. Patients 18 years of age or older and undergoing primary or revision surgery for degenerative spinal conditions were included. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate rates of malpositioned screws requiring revision, as well as overall complication, revision, and readmission rates within 90 days.

RESULTS

In total, 799 surgical cases (Mazor X: 48.81%; Mazor X Stealth Edition: 51.19%) were evaluated, involving robot-assisted placement of 4838 pedicle screws. The overall intraoperative complication rate was 3.13%. No intraoperative implant-related complications were encountered. Postoperatively, 129 patients suffered a total of 146 complications by 90 days, representing an incidence of 16.1%. The rate of an unrecognized malpositioned screw resulting in a new postoperative radiculopathy requiring revision surgery was 0.63% (5 cases). Medical and pain-related complications unrelated to hardware placement accounted for the bulk of postoperative complications within 90 days. The overall surgical revision rate at 90 days was 6.63% with 7 implant-related revisions, representing an implant-related revision rate of 0.88%. The 90-day readmission rate was 7.13% with 2 implant-related readmissions, representing an implant-related readmission rate of 0.25% of cases.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this multicenter case series and literature review suggest current-generation robotic guidance systems are associated with low rates of intraoperative and postoperative implant-related complications, revisions, and readmissions at 90 days. Future outcomes-based studies are necessary to evaluate complication, revision, and readmission rates compared to conventional surgery.
