Arachnoid Cyst Burst in Presence of Contralateral Nomura IV Subdural Hematoma: After Effects of Traumatic Kickback and Intracranial Pressure
Authors: Avallone Chiara
Published: May 2024

Intracranial arachnoid cysts are benign fluid-filled sacs located between the brain and the arachnoid membrane. Their rupture is an uncommon event, often associated with trauma or an underlying pathology. Here, we present a case of a 61-year-old woman with a ruptured arachnoid cyst coinciding with a contralateral subdural hematoma. The patient manifested a persistent headache, balance disorders and right facial paresthesia. Brain CT study showed a right temporo-polar cyst (known to the patient) and a right parietal chronic Subdural Hematoma (cSDH). Although the kickback may contribute to bursting or weakening of cyst integrity, the CT-density pattern of the cSDH, according to Nomura classification is to be considered associated with increased fibrinolysis activity and potentially with parenchyma compression. This case highlights the importance of considering arachnoid cyst rupture as a potential indirect consequence of head trauma kickback, particularly in the presence of contralateral intracranial hemorrhage.

Authors: Ameen Ahmed Ahmed Mohamed
Published: May 2024

Background/Objectives: Brain metastases can be treated with Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), a precise radiation therapy approach. This study aimed to review the feasibility and efficacy of frameless LINAC-based SRS using Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) in a group of 20 patients.

Methods: Twenty patients diagnosed with brain metastases received VMAT SRS. Clinical characteristics such as demographics, gender, performance status, number of brain metastases, neurological symptoms, neurosurgical procedures, systemic status, prior treatments, lesion size, SRS dose, local control after SRS and toxicity profile were assessed.

Results: The median age of patients was 49.5 years (range 32-63), with 80% being female. Most patients (85%) had ECOG scores of 0-1. The median lesion size treated was 16 mm, with a median dose of 20 Gy for the first SRS (SRS1). After SRS1, 75% of patients achieved Local Control (LC), with a median duration of LC of 7.65 months. Six patients received a second SRS (SRS2) with a median dose of 20 Gy to a different location. Two out of six patients achieved LC after SRS2. Radiation necrosis occurred in 2 cases (10%). The median follow-up time from brain metastasis to the last follow-up was 20.31 months (range 0-50.43 months).

Conclusion: Frameless LINAC-based VMAT SRS appears to be a promising treatment option for brain metastases. Initial findings suggest favorable local control rates and further research is needed to optimize treatment strategies.

In order to attain high reliability in power systems, effective fault detection techniques that can quickly identify and mitigate defects must be developed. In this article, we suggest a novel method for improving power system dependability by using deep learning techniques to identify faults. In order to achieve precise fault identification and classification, our technology uses deep neural networks to automatically learn and extract features from power system data. We thoroughly test our method on a range of fault scenarios and real-world datasets to determine its efficacy. The outcomes show how well our approach performs in comparison to conventional fault identification methods, underscoring the possibility of a major increase in power system reliability. By providing useful insights for improving problem diagnosis techniques in power engineering, this research advances system resilience and minimizing downtime.

Authors:   Sebelas Maret University, Kurniawan Aditya , Rizky Samudro Bhimo ,   Sebelas Maret University
Published: May 2024

This study explores the impact of sport on the social inclusion and economic well-being of people with disabilities in the community and its contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relating to the social inclusion and economic well-being of people with disabilities. Data is collected by purposive sampling and analyzed using a qualitative method. The patterns of results show that sports can potentially transform the lives of people with disabilities, promoting social inclusion and empowerment. However, attitudinal and structural barriers, such as ableism and a need for inclusive practices in sports clubs, often hinder this potential. To overcome these challenges, develop and enact disability-inclusive sports policies. The discussion proposes some implications for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly social inclusion, economic well-being, participation, and equality targets. Social inclusion through sport, equal economic opportunities, and encouraging the participation of athletes with disabilities in various competitions align with the SDGs’ vision to create an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable society for all people.

Orphans access to education is still critical for most of developing countries and Tanzania specifically. There have been government efforts such as policy and progams development and implementation to ensure orphans access to education, but the situation is still alarming. Literature in Tanzania have not explored fully the support mechanisms for orphans to capitalize their access to education. This study contribute to the literature by focusing on this case. The study was conducted in Tanzania and specifically Dodoma district. Four primary schools were involved in the study. Mixed methods approach was applied in this study covering a sample of 133 respondents. Data were analysed using the thematic and descriptive approaches. The study found that support mechanisms for orphans include government mechanisms, civil society organizations (CSOs) mechanisms and community mechanisms. Although these categories have shown efforts towards improving the situation, more efforts are required to solve the problem. The study suggests that, for government, it should continue building schools, hostels and counseling sessions at schools. Again, CSOs should continue raising awareness to community members, providing necessary financial support and help to orphans so that they can be able to attend schools. Moreover, community support such as taking care of orphans and encouraging them is highly recommended. These will make mechanisms applied to help orphans meaningful and contribute towards attaining quality education for all goal of sustainable development goals.

Consecuentemente, esta investigación tuvo como resultado 286 PyMES registradas en el Catastro de Contribuyentes, de las cuales 206 están inscritas bajo la clase de contribuyentes y/o Registro Único de Contribuyentes (RUC), y 80 bajo el Régimen Impositivo Simplificado Ecuatoriano (RISE). Se aplicó el método descriptivo, implementando una encuesta a 58 propietarios de PyMES sobre actividades económicas, tipos de PyMES, inversión de negocios, volumen de compras y ventas mensuales, utilizando la fórmula de muestreo estratificado. Los resultados señalan que, estas PyMES tienen diversidad de actividades económicas, en su mayoría correspondientes a comercios minoristas con un 67% dedicados a la compra y venta de víveres, siendo el 95% unipersonales. Igualmente, la mayoría inyecta capital mediante créditos informales, con volumen de compra y venta que cumple con el rango permitido de la categoría A de 0 a 5000 utilizando generalmente el RISE, para no ser obligados a llevar contabilidad. En conclusión, el desinterés y desconocimiento del tema y beneficios tributarios, y el limitado uso de herramientas financieras implican que los comerciantes minoristas cometan irregularidades legales y puedan ser sancionados, determinando que la cultura tributaria del cantón sea significativamente baja.
