Cavernous hemangioma within the cavernous sinus: illustrative case
Authors: Bozkurt Omer F , Kuzucu Pelin , Sahin Muammer M , Celtikci Emrah
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Cerebral cavernous hemangiomas (CHs) are the most common vascular malformations and can be found in many locations in the brain. The most common extra-axial locations are the intrasellar and parasellar regions. Both locations are rare for CH.

OBSERVATIONS

A 41-year-old female who had experienced headaches for about a year presented to the authors’ institution because of a mass located in the left cavernous sinus (CS). It was confirmed that it was not causing any loss in the visual field and that there was no pituitary irregularity. Surgery was planned with a preliminary diagnosis of CH. An endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) was undertaken with the otorhinolaryngology team. The dura mater was opened following excision of the back wall of the sphenoid sinus. A blue-purple vascular lesion was observed, filling the left CS. Gross-total resection (GTR) was achieved. In the literature, there were 10 cases in which GTR had been performed using the EEA.

LESSONS

Patients with CHs located in the sellar region present with various complaints. The preference for endoscopic surgery over cranial surgery for such lesions requires more comprehensive studies, but it is thought that this approach can reduce surgical complications and the time to discharge for the patient.

Authors: Sakaji Kensuke , Omodaka Shunsuke , Kanamori Masayuki , Takai Shunsuke , Sawada Akari , Suzuki Jun , Katori Yukio , Endo Hidenori
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Vestibular paroxysmia is defined by spontaneous, recurrent, short, paroxysmal episodes of vertigo. The authors present a case of vestibular paroxysmia caused by neurovascular compression of the vestibulocochlear nerve due to the subarcuate artery, which was successfully treated with microvascular decompression.

OBSERVATIONS

A 46-year-old man ﬁrst experienced vertigo attacks 5 years earlier. The attacks became more frequent, and left-sided tinnitus developed over the past 4 months, prompting a referral to our hospital. Carbamazepine treatment alleviated symptoms but had to be discontinued due to rash. Brain magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed that the left anterior inferior cerebellar artery was pressing on the cisternal segment of the left vestibulocochlear nerve. The authors diagnosed vestibular paroxysmia caused by neurovascular compression and performed microvascular decompression. During the operation, a subarcuate artery was identified as the offending vessel, with a prominent indentation on the vestibulocochlear nerve. The vertigo was completely relieved following surgery.

LESSONS

Neurovascular compression of the vestibulocochlear nerve by the subarcuate artery can result in vestibular paroxysmia.

Peritoneal baclofen pump migration: a rare complication of subfascial placement. Illustrative cases
Authors: Ricciardelli Ashley , Guntin Jordan , Korb Joshua , Curry Daniel J , Gadgil Nisha
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

The intrathecal baclofen pump is an effective treatment option for patients with severe spasticity. In children, subfascial pump placement is often preferred given concerns for infection and wound healing. However, this approach is not without risk, and rare complications, such as peritoneal pump migration, can occur.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors describe three pediatric cases of peritoneal pump migration at their institution over the past 14 years (3/545, 0.5%). All three patients had low body weight (below the 39th percentile), and two had scoliosis requiring surgery. All pumps had been placed using the subfascial technique. The first case occurred 6 months postplacement, and the pump was not replaced. Cases 2 and 3 occurred at 2 and 3 years postplacement, respectively, and both pumps were replaced.

LESSONS

The authors conclude that peritoneal pump migration, although uncommon, can occur in patients with subfascial pump placement, and providers should have a low threshold of suspicion for repeat imaging prior to refilling if the pump’s location has migrated. Potential contributing factors to pump migration include a patient’s small size, a larger pump size (40-mL pump), and scoliosis. All these factors should be considered during pump placement, and surgeons can consider using a 20-ml pump for smaller patients.

Authors: Suriadi Ahmad , Pranata Rodi , Wahyuni Ida
Published: September 2024

Shallots are a horticultural plant that is needed in large quantities as a vegetable, spice, and as an ingredient in traditional medicine. The high need and demand makes shallots economically valuable and efforts continue to be made to increase production output in the hope of being able to stabilize demand and affordable prices. This research aims to see the effect of the composition of adding husk charcoal on the growth of shallots. The method used in this research was an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with direct experiments in a greenhouse. The composition of the husk charcoal used is reflected in the 4 treatments, namely T1 = 0% grilled husk charcoal biocompost + 100% soil (control), T2 = 25% grilled husk charcoal biocompost + 75% soil, T3 = 50% grilled husk charcoal biocompost + 50% soil, and T4 = 75% burnt husk charcoal biocompost + 25% soil. From these four treatments, growth was assessed, namely plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers, and plant weight (wet stem and dry stem). The research results were tested using mathematics using SPSS to see differences between treatments. The results of the research showed that the growth of shallots with the addition of different compositions achieved significant growth in the number of tillers and weight in wet and dry stems, while growth in height and number of leaves were not significantly different. So it can be concluded that with the composition of adding husk charcoal the highest number of tillers were in T3 and T4 while the highest weights were found in T1 and T2.

An increase in photosynthetic potential was noted when treated with Aquarin and Master fertilizers by 25.0 and 42%, respectively. The maximum increase in yield (12.8 t/ha) was obtained during leaf processing in the variant of the combined use of Aquarin + + Ultramag boron + Ultramag calcium preparations, which exceeded the control by 34.7%. It should be noted that the best responsiveness to non-root top dressing was distinguished by the Gigantic variety, whose yield was 13.2 t/ha, which was 39% more than the control.
Possibility of Combined Use of Thymol and Carvacrol to Control the Number
of Peach Aphids Myzus persicae (Sulzer, 1776)
Authors: Stepanycheva E. A. , Petrova M. O. , Chermenskaya T. D.
Published: September 2024

The wide range of biological activity of essential oils in relation to pests gives reason to consider them as additional plant protection products and in other measures aimed at reducing the number of harmful arthropods. This paper presents the results of a study of the biological activity of a mixture of thymol and carvacrol, which are part of the essential oils of many plants, including oregano Origanum vulgare L. for the peach aphid Myzus persicae. The use of essential oil and a mixture of its components as fumigants has demonstrated their high aphidocidal potential. When processing the leaves of a forage plant (beans), the ability of a mixture of thymol and carvacrol to reduce the viability of female aphids and the number of offspring was established, and on vegetative plants (pepper) to negatively affect the survival of individuals of the daughter generation in the preimaginal period. The short duration of action allows the use of oils and individual components in conjunction with biological control agents and pollinators, and assumes a slight or complete absence of residues in food products. Preparations based on essential oils of plants can be used immediately before harvesting, due to the minimum waiting period.
Content and Distribution of Radionuclides in the Profile of Light Gray Forest Soil and Agrocenosis Plants
Authors: Utkin A. A. , Noda I. B.
Published: September 2024

The results of long-term radiation monitoring of light gray forest soil and cultivated plants of the reference area are presented. Correlation analysis has determined the relationship between the distribution of artificial and natural radionuclides in the soil profile with its agrochemical properties. The distribution of radionuclides in the soil profile is determined by the intensity of the podzolic process. The profile shows the eluvial-illuvial differentiation of radionuclides, when an increase in their accumulation occurred in the illuvial horizon. According to the density of contamination of the surface soil layer with cesium-137 and strontium-90, a satisfactory level of the environmental situation was determined, according to which the soil of the site is classified as uncontaminated. Rows of cultivated plants with an increasing ability to accumulate caesium-137 and strontium-90 from the soil have been constructed. The grain of all grain crops accumulated less cesium-137 and strontium-90 compared to straw. All grown plant products of all types of crops fully met veterinary and hygienic standards for the content of caesium-137 and strontium-90 in feed (green mass, straw and feed grain) and food grains. The coefficients of accumulation and transfer of caesium-137 and strontium-90 from soil to plants were calculated.

The dynamics of phytotoxicity indicators (germination and length of radish roots) of ordinary chernozem when contaminated with silver nanoparticles was studied. In laboratory conditions, ordinary chernozem was contaminated with silver nanoparticles (1, 10 and 100 mg/kg) for 3, 10, 30, 90 and 180 days. It was found that the more silver nanoparticles were introduced into the soil, the greater the decrease in germination and length of radish roots. There was no restoration of germination and length of radish roots with an increase in the period from the moment of contamination. In this study, the maximum toxic period from the moment of contamination for each indicator was identified by its sensitivity to silver nanoparticles and informativeness. The maximum toxicity of silver nanoparticles in relation to the root length and germination of radishes was noted on the 10th and 30th days, respectively. The results can be used to assess the phytotoxicity of soils contaminated with silver nanoparticles.

The results of forest simulation modelling of the dynamics of carbon pools and fluxes in forest ecosystems under different forest management scenarios were considered on the example of the Dankovsky forest enterprise (south of the Moscow region, subzone of coniferous-broadleaved mixed forests). The impact of such changes in forest management practices, as the reserve regime, the reduction in the proportion of forest lands as a result of residential development, and zoning of the territory with an emphasis on increasing the recreational use of forests on the carbon balance was analysed. In computational experiments, a set of Russian models was used: the dynamic model of a forest stand FORRUS-S, the model of soil organic matter dynamics Romul_Hum, the model of the hydrothermal regime of soils SCLISS. Calculations were performed for a time period of 100 years at the forestry unit level, and were also aggregated at the level of the entire forestry district. The diversity of types of forest growth conditions (FGC), together with the species diversity and the initial different ages of stands, determined significant variations of the calculated indicators of forest stands’ production, the quantity and quality of plant litter entering the soil. For all cases, model estimates of changes in carbon reserves occurred in the forest stands within the initial 40–60 years with a subsequent decrease in the calculated values. Under the conservation scenario, an increase in the organic substances reserves in forest litter and soil was observed: for FGCs C2 and C3, an increase over 100 years was approximately 5–10 kg m–2, for the remaining FGCs — at the level of 2–3 kg m–2 in terms of carbon. Under the economic use scenarios, a relative “levelling” of forest enterprise area towards the lower end of the spectrum was shown in terms of soil carbon reserves. The maximum ecosystem carbon stock was calculated for FGC C2 and C3, the minimum — for A5 and C4. Depending on the scenario, over 100 years, the total net sequestration of carbon by the forests of the Dankovsky forest enterprise (with a total area of forested land of 6836 ha) was estimated within the range of 0.15–0.57 Tg.

The classification of forest vegetation of the Tuul river basin within the green belt of the Ulaanbaatar city. Two associations (Linnaeo borealis–Pinetum sibiricae and Vaccinio vitis-idaeae–Laricetum sibiricae) were classified Vaccinio–Piceetea. Diagnostic signs and characteristics of the ecological and geographical peculiarities of the units were presented, anthropogenic transformation was assessed. To determine the models of succession processes, the series of permanent sample plots were established in the communities of the Linnaeo borealis–Pinetum sibiricae association, located at different distances from the city, in taxation units with unequal intensity of recreational load. Recreational forest assessment was calculated according to the approach by V.S. Romanov and L.N. Rozhkov (1974). In the Linnaeo borealis–Pinetum sibiricae association, large areas were occupied by moderately transformed communities. The Vaccinio vitis-idaeae–Laricetum sibiricae association is characterized by being weakly transformed forests. Different stages of anthropogenic pressure were formed serial communities, unequal in structure and species diversity. Serial plant communities of allogeneic succession were developed according to 2 models of geitogenesis — tolerance (Linnaeo borealis–Pinetum sibiricae ↔ Rhytidium rugosum; Linnaeo borealis-Pinetum sibiricae ↔ Chamaenerion angustifolium) and inhibition (Linnaeo borealis–Pinetum sibiricae ↔ Betula rotundifolia). A comprehensive assessment of the recreational potential was based on three indicators: natural conditions, air hygiene and landscaping. All activities aimed at increasing the recreational potential should contribute to the improvement of these indicators. A prerequisite for increasing the recreational forest assessment should be functional zoning of the territory with the allocation of infrastructure, walking and sanitary protective zones. Forest management is of great importance in increasing the recreational potential of forests. The forest management project for the organization of recreational forests should be aimed at the formation of sustainable and aesthetically attractive forest plantations.

One of the reasons for the deterioration of coniferous stands condition in a number of European countries is associated with their infection with phytoplasmas (obligate intracellular pathogens) — bacteria lacking a cell wall. The aim of the work is to identify the presence of phytoplasma infection in samples of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and mountain pine (Pinus mugo Turra) collected in the Moscow and Samara regions, which had characteristic symptoms of the disease, and to determine the taxonomic affiliation of the phytoplasm. Phytoplasma was detected using direct and nested PCR with primer pairs P1/16S-Sr and R16F2n/R16R2 respectively. Phytoplasma DNA was found in six of the seven pine specimens, including an asymptomatic one. Analysis of restriction fragment length’s polymorphism after digestion of DNA amplicons with restriction endonucleases AluI, MseI, HhaI, HpaII, HaeIII, RsaI, and TaqI indicated the similarity of Russian strains of Scotch pine and mountain pine phytoplasmas to Lithuanian strains of PineLRN and PineBLD of mountain pine phytoplasma (GenBank Accession Number MK089821 and MK089819, respectively) identified as ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma pini’ (subgroup 16SrXXI-A). A phytoplasma related to this species has been registered on the territory of the Russian Federation for the first time.
Secret committee of high political surveillance in Russia and Polish emigration (1837–1839)
Authors: Babosha Ivan A.
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the history of the creation and the activities of the «Secret committee of high political surveillance» (1837–1839) – the Russian interdepartmental body of international policing in the era of tsar Nicholas I, which is unknown in the historical literature. The paper introduces the minutes of the sessions of this body and the interdepartmental correspondence attached to them from The State Archive of The Russian Federation (GARF). These sources expand on the Russian empire’s system of international policing and highlight the Polish emigration’s history from the viewpoint of the Russian secret police, which wasn’t sufficiently covered in the historiography of the Polish national movement. The Committee examined intelligence on the Polish political emigration, which was formed after the failure of the November Uprising of 1830–1831 in Congress Poland. Alexander Benckendorf, the chief of the III Section of His Imperial Majesty’s Own Chancellery, was the chairman of this committee. The representatives of the War and Foreign Ministries took part in its meetings. The Committee corresponded with Congress Poland’s viceroy Ivan Paskevich and with the governors of the border provinces of Russia, as well as with the Prussian and Austrian authorities. The analysis of the minutes from the sessions of this committee shows that this body was exclusively consultative. It was an attempt to create a unified interdepartmental system of intelligence exchange on the activities of the Polish emissaries.
Serbian-Albanian conflict 1913–1914: perception in the Russian press
Authors: Medovarov Maksim V.
Published: September 2024

The article examines the Russian monthly and weekly periodicals’ perception of the fighting between Serbia and Albania between the end of the Second Balkan War (August 1913) and the beginning of the First World War (July 1914). These military clashes, known to contemporaries as the undeclared “Third Balkan War”, caused diplomatic complications and in November 1913 could have led to the outbreak of a major war in Europe. Throughout a year, the great powers with difficulty extinguished the conflict, that became the result of peace treaties imposed by them to the Balkan countries. In the paper, for the first time, the reaction of the Russian reviewers towards the Albanian crisis of 1913–1914 and the military operations in the region, the degree of awareness of the reading public in Russia about the situation in Albania and around it are examined. On the example of Pan-Slavist newspapers “Slavyanskie Izvestia” and “Dym Otechectva”, the liberal magazines “Vestnik Evropy”, “Ogonek”, “Russkoe Bogatstvo” and “Russkaya Mysl’” as well as opinions of Russian travelers, the growing awareness of Russian public about Albania and Albanians is shown.
Report of V. M. Turok-Popov at the 1964 meeting of the section of social sciences of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences on the tasks of Soviet Slavic studies
Authors: Nazarov Sergey O.
Published: September 2024

This article presents V. M. Turok-Popov’s contribution to the critical reflection of methodological problems of Soviet historical science, including Soviet Slavic studies, during the thaw. From the documents of the scientist’s personal fund kept in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, his report on the tasks of Slavic studies for the meeting of the Section of Social Sciences of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1964, the purpose of which was to develop methodological issues of history, is published for the first time. The proceedings of the meeting were published in the collection ‘History and Sociology’ (1964), but Turok-Popov’s report was not included in it, which limited the circle of people who could have familiarised themselves with it. The publication is accompanied by a letter from V. V. Altman’s letter, which conveys the reaction to the report of the participants of the meeting and indicates some reasons for its absence from the collection.
