Role of Indocyanine Green (ICG) in the Management of Acute Gangrenous Cholecystitis Secondary to Gall bladder Empyema in Mirizzi's Syndrome: A Case Report
Authors: Vashistha Ashish
Published: September 2024

Mirizzi's syndrome, although rare, is a potential complication of long-standing gallstone disease, particularly cholecystolithiasis. Due to the non-specific nature of its symptoms, this condition often remains undiagnosed prior to surgery in most cases. While minimally invasive approaches are generally safe in expert hands, they can be challenging and entail the risk of bile duct injuries, often necessitating conversion to bail out procedures. Delayed management of Mirizzi's syndrome can lead to serious consequences, such as empyema of the gallbladder, gangrene of the gallbladder wall, perforation, and sepsis. A timely diagnosis and management can be achieved through a comprehensive clinical assessment, including a thorough history, physical examination, and appropriate clinical investigations.
Revisiting the Role of MRI Breast in Detection, Treatment Planning and Follow-up of Breast Pathologies
Authors: Verma Mitusha
Published: September 2024

Breast cancer remains the leading cancer among Indian women, with alarming incidence and mortality rates. Imaging modalities have become indispensable in screening, diagnosis, and post-treatment follow up. While mammography is the cornerstone, ultrasound complements its role in characterising suspicious lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), although relatively newer, offers distinct advantages, especially in younger women, those with dense breasts, and high-risk individuals. It excels in detecting occult disease, assessing tumour extent, and evaluating treatment response. This article highlights the role of MRI in breast cancer management. It outlines indications for breast MRI, including screening high-risk women, staging, evaluation before and after neoadjuvant therapy, and assessing dense breasts. The optimal timing for MRI and the recommended protocol, involving pre- and post-contrast sequences, are discussed. MRI's ability to provide detailed anatomical information and functional data enhances its value in comprehensive breast care.

Authors: Mehndiratta Man Mohan
Published: September 2024

The emerging field of autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system exhibits heterogeneity in its clinical manifestations. Ongoing studies and research aim to widen the spectrum of its presentation by associating it with autoantibodies, including those that have not yet been identified or discovered. The seronegative entity has a similar incidence as the autoantibody-associated group of autoimmune encephalitis (AIE). Along with the parameters defined in the diagnostic criteria of AIE, the importance of biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis and drug efficacy is increasingly being recognised due to the relapsing nature of the disease. In this review, we have summarized the biomarkers that may help in the early detection of the AIE, leading to better prognosis and reduced morbidity.

In almost every area there are phenomena that are interesting and important to study in their development and change over time. Observations of certain phenomena, the nature of which changes over time, are carried out in an ordered sequence, which is called a time series. The goals of studying time series are to strive to predict the future based on knowledge of the past and control the process, to describe the characteristic features of a series based on a limited amount of information. In the article, using the method of statistical analysis of time series, the statistical regularity of the dynamics series (yt) - average wheat yield in the Republic of Uzbekistan (based on materials from the Central Statistical Office of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2002-2022) is studied. Point and interval estimates for the average wheat yield were constructed with a 95% guarantee, explicit types of trends were determined, and wheat yield was predicted for subsequent years. Using Durbin-Watson statistical tests, it was established that the average wheat yield has an autocorrelation dependence. Consequently, the wheat yield in the Republic this year depends on the wheat yield of previous and subsequent years.

Published: September 2024

Climate change is one of the biggest global challenges of the 21st century with far-reaching impacts on various sectors, including public health. This research aims to study how climate change affects the spread of infectious diseases in urban environments, with an emphasis on environmental and behavioural factors that influence the spread of disease. The quantitative method used in this study is descriptive-analytic design. Descriptive research is used to describe the phenomenon of the spread of infectious diseases in urban environments associated with climate change components such as air temperature, rainfall, and humidity. Over five years, the incidence rate of dengue fever in West Sumatra has fluctuated and continued to increase. As shown, the rainfall pattern is changing and increasing. The picture shows a trend of increasing rainfall along with an increase in the number of dengue cases. However, there is a time difference, or time lag, between the increase in cases. Every region should have an early warning system for extraordinary dengue events. As climatic factors change, environmental improvements are also needed along with changes in other factors such as behaviour and health services.

Authors: Siti Rofiatun Rosida
Published: September 2024

In Indonesia, the National Health Insurance (JKN) program through BPJS Kesehatan has been launched with the aim of improving accessibility and quality of health services for the entire population. However, despite the existence of an extensive insurance system, challenges to the effectiveness of this system still exist, particularly in terms of access, quality of care, and health facility management (Dinkes Kulonprogo, 2018; Tahir, 2017). This study aims to analyze the relationship between access, quality of health services, and the effectiveness of the health insurance system, as well as how these factors affect the success of the health insurance program in improving public health status. This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, where data on access, quality, and health services are collected simultaneously from health insurance participants, especially BPJS Kesehatan users. The t table price at the 5% error rate = 1.98 and 1% error rate = 2.617. Thus the H1 hypothesis can be accepted because there is a positive relationship between X and Y as evidenced by the processing results of t count = 17.195 > t table = 1.98. This study suggests that to improve the effectiveness of JKN implementation through BPJS health, continuous improvement is needed, especially to instill government concern for the poor.
Computer-mediated group communication and ideation performance
Authors: Gressgard L.J.
Published: September 2024

Computer-based group idea generation is used in a variety of organizational settings to generate ideas that are helpful in attaining a goal. In such situations, the characteristics of the interaction may impact on the group processes, and accordingly on group performance. This paper reports on a study investigating the impacts of synchronicity, parallelism and identification on ideation performance. The results show that both parallelism and synchronicity are important for ideation performance, but that the levels of these affordances have no impacts when it comes to generation of low quality ideas. However, as the quality criteria are sharpened, the importance of the affordances increases. The results thus show that high degrees of parallelism and synchronicity are important for generation of high-quality ideas in computer-mediated group work. The results also point to the importance of adopting rigorous measures when investigating group ideation performance. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
Managing change in performance measures - An inter-company case study approach
Authors: Salloum M. , Cedergren S.
Published: September 2024

The field of performance measurement and management (PMM) is well filled with frameworks, models and guidelines addressing what to measure and how to design a performance measurement system (PMS). However, what has been less examined so far is how to ensure that PM evolve in tandem with their environments. Further, the few approaches available today are prescriptive and outlines how or what practitioners should do in order to manage change in their PM. Thus, a gap exists in understanding how organisations manage change in their PM in practice. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to outline and compare the approaches of three case companies for managing PM change. In order to fulfil the purpose of the paper, the data presented has been collected through the deployment of case studies. The choice of case studies as means for data collection stems from the possibility of an in-depth and holistic examination of the formulated phenomenon. All three case companies belong to the same company-group that operates within the transportation industry. The industrial footprint of the company is global with operations and sales spread out over the world. The findings suggest that all three companies have processes in place for managing change in PM. However, the approaches differ in design and context. Even though the case companies had different approaches in place to manage change in PM, they shared several commonalities. Commonalities were shared in the way of execution, process input and challenges in IT and culture. Furthermore, employee involvement seemed to be the biggest challenge for all three companies. The findings put forward in this paper are limited as they are confined to three companies from the same company-group. More studies, both from within and outside the company-group, are needed in order to establish a solid base of empirical data for generalisation. However, this paper makes a contribution both through describing how three companies manage PM change and through elaborating on the underlying factors affecting functionality.
The effects of economic crisis to logistics outsourcing
Authors: Folinas D. , Aidonis D.
Published: September 2024

The aim of this paper is the investigation of the effects that the economic crisis has on the logistics services sector in Greece. It presents and analyses the findings of a research, which, via a questionnaire, asked managers at the examined sector first to identify the effects and second the practices and approaches that the managers suggested to confront with these effects. The findings of the research revealed that the logistics' service providers have been significantly affected by the crisis and these effects have influenced all the main functional areas of the logistics management (procurement, warehousing, inventory management, transportation and distribution). Moreover, they are not optimistic about the future as they believe that the sector will be significantly decreased in the next few years and the competition will be increased. Performance measurement and optimization of their logistics' processes and functions and the decrease of the operation costs are considered to be their weapons to this battle. This research can be considered as a pilot study, as the Greek economy has been seriously affected during the global financial crisis. Worldwide, 3pl companies can use the findings of this study in order to overcome potential difficulties that might face in near future.
Moving forward with service dominant logic: Exploring the strategic orientations of a service-centred view of the firm
Authors: Lamberti L. , Paladino A.
Published: September 2024

Service Dominant Logic (SDL) has been the subject of great conceptual debate over the past years. We are now clearly at a crossroad where application is required to cement its practical relevance to the organization and its performance. This paper extends the SDL debate, as founded by Vargo and Lusch (2004), by analyzing it through the lens of strategic orientations, in combination with a service-centred view of the firm. In doing so, the purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly we aim to identify the existence of common characteristics between SDL and existing conceptual orientations. Secondly, we go further to explore the conceptual relationships between these identified and empirically evaluated strategic orientations (market, resource, learning, service, and entrepreneurship orientations) and SDL theory. We proffer that a service-centred view of the firm requires the deployment of key facets of all of these strategic orientations. In this way, we argue that a SD orientation emerges that is in essence a strategic orientation combination. In doing so, we develop a comprehensive framework and lay the foundation for the initiation of empirical work on SDL to further enrich the work initiated by Vargo and Lusch (2004). The paper concludes with a discussion of this framework, its implications for scholars and practitioners and areas for future research.

Published: September 2024

One should always keep in mind optimizing energy and money gains while designing an integrated photovoltaic (PV) system for the client with electrical energy consumption. Any amount of electrical energy produced by PV system that is left after consumption, is given to distribution network. Given energy will always have lower price than electrical energy taken from distribution network. Therefore, PV system production size should be designed just to equal client consummation. If this is achieved, most produced energy compensates for energy that was supposed to be taken from distribution network. Consuming energy prices are always higher than receiving energy prices. In this research single consumer with PV system is designed using client courtyard, respectively to terrain possibilities. The client already contains two modules of PV system. Measured data is provided for period of 30 months as follows: classic consumer, consumer with one PV system module, and finally consumer with two PV system modules. The object of this research is to design the size of third PV system module just enough to ensure optimal performance for subject client energy compensation. It will also ensure the best prices achieved with energy given in distribution network.Ključne riječi

Authors: Casto Kathleen , Lecci Len
Published: September 2024

This study attempts to determine whether the presentation of an experimentally manipulated somatic experience during a physically strenuous task can influence physical performance and symptom reporting. The study also compares the relative influence of experimentally manipulated somatic information (state somatization) with stable individual differences in the tendency to amplify physical symptoms (trait somatization) on performance and symptom reporting. 194 participants completed standardized measures of somatization tendencies, state anxiety, neuroticism and conscientiousness. Participants where then given a mock physical exam, with individuals randomly assigned to receive either favorable or unfavorable somatic information. All participants then had their body mass index assessed and completed a rigorous exercise task, with quantification of performance. Physiological measures of blood pressure and pulse were also assessed before and after the exercise task. The experimentally manipulated presentation of somatic information predicted both performance and physical symptoms, even after controlling for BMI, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and state anxiety. Moreover, expected performance uniquely and significantly predicted performance above and beyond condition, anxiety, BMI, neuroticism, and conscientiousness. Somatosensory amplification tendencies also predicted symptom endorsement, but not performance. Findings suggest that both state and trait expectations with respect to somatic experiences influence symptom reporting and to a lesser extent performance, even after controlling for variables known to strongly influence each of these outcomes. Results are consistent with the cognitive-perceptual and the cognitive-appraisal models of somatic interpretation.

Physically active video gaming (AVG) provides a technologically-modern, convenient means of increasing physical activity (PA). This study examined cardiovascular, metabolic, and perceptual responses in young adult (AP) and older adult (OP) participants engaging in Wii Fitä AVG play, and compared PA levels during play to recommended PA levels. Heart rate (HR), percent heart rate reserve (%HRR), oxygen consumption (VO2), energy expenditure (EE), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), enjoyment level (EL), and step count data were obtained from 10 YP and 10 OP during 15 minutes of rest and four 15-minute bouts of Wii Fitä activities (yoga, balance, aerobics, strength). For all participants, AVG significantly increased HR, VO2, and EE measures above rest, with significant between-activity differences. Responses were similar between YP and OP, except that the activities were more intense for OP, in terms of %HRR and RPE. Most games elicited responses consistent with light-intensity PA, though peak HR and VO2 values for aerobic and strength games met or approached recommended PA intensities. Wii Fitä appears to provide an enjoyable form of light PA for both YP and OP, which can reduce inactive screen time and provide beneficial cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and metabolic stimulation.

In an economy like India, small businesses make up the bulk of industrial units. Over 40% of all industrial units are made up of small businesses. Approximately 45% of all Indian exports are made to small businesses. Convenience stores, small grocery stores, bakeries or delicatessens, hair salons or trade, restaurants for people, hotels, photographers, very small- scale manufacturing, and Internet-related enterprises like web design and programming are examples of small-scale businesses. Both small and large company organizations have recently suffered from bad leadership owing to inefficiency and lack of concentration, which is concerning as good leadership is essential to the existence of any commercial activity. Thus, the necessity of leadership and organizational success cannot be overstated. Every organization inside the corporation has received the instruction and training required to perform effectively. This article discusses the enhancing and discouraging factors that affect the organizational performance of small businesses and comes to the conclusion that it is the duty of every leader to create an organization that will operate efficiently because the extent to which a corporation succeeds depends on how well its leaders set expectations for their subordinates.
Aberrant FGF signaling promotes granule neuron precursor expansion in SHH subgroup infantile medulloblastoma

Mutations in Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway genes, for example, Suppressor of Fused (SUFU), drive granule neuron precursors (GNP) to form medulloblastomas (MBSHH). However, how different molecular lesions in the Shh pathway drive transformation is frequently unclear, and SUFU mutations in the cerebellum seem distinct. In this study, we show that fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) signaling is integral for many infantile MBSHH cases and that FGF5 expression is uniquely upregulated in infantile MBSHH tumors. Similarly, mice lacking SUFU (Sufu-cKO) ectopically express Fgf5 specifically along the secondary fissure where GNPs harbor preneoplastic lesions and show that FGFR signaling is also ectopically activated in this region. Treatment with an FGFR antagonist rescues the severe GNP hyperplasia and restores cerebellar architecture. Thus, direct inhibition of FGF signaling may be a promising and novel therapeutic candidate for infantile MBSHH.

Given the mounting evidence implicating TDP-43 dysfunction in several neurodegenerative diseases, there is a pressing need to establish accessible tools to sense and quantify TDP-43 loss-of-function (LOF). These tools are crucial for assessing potential disease contributors and exploring therapeutic candidates in TDP-43 proteinopathies. Here, we develop a sensitive and accurate real-time sensor for TDP-43 LOF: the CUTS (CFTR UNC13A TDP-43 Loss-of-Function) system. This system combines previously reported cryptic exons regulated by TDP-43 with a reporter, enabling the tracking of TDP-43 LOF through live microscopy and RNA/protein-based assays. We demonstrate CUTS’ effectiveness in detecting LOF caused by TDP-43 mislocalization and RNA binding dysfunction, and pathological aggregation. Our results highlight the sensitivity and accuracy of the CUTS system in detecting and quantifying TDP-43 LOF, opening avenues to explore unknown TDP-43 interactions that regulate its function. In addition, by replacing the fluorescent tag in the CUTS system with the coding sequence for TDP-43, we show significant recovery of its function under TDP-43 LOF conditions, highlighting CUTS’ potential for self-regulating gene therapy applications. In summary, CUTS represents a versatile platform for evaluating TDP-43 LOF in real-time and advancing gene-replacement therapies in neurodegenerative diseases associated with TDP-43 dysfunction.
Hemispheric divergence of interoceptive processing across psychiatric disorders

Published: September 2024

Interactions between top-down attention and bottom-up visceral inputs are assumed to produce conscious perceptions of interoceptive states, and while each process has been independently associated with aberrant interoceptive symptomatology in psychiatric disorders, the neural substrates of this interface are unknown. We conducted a preregistered functional neuroimaging study of 46 individuals with anxiety, depression, and/or eating disorders (ADE) and 46 propensity-matched healthy comparisons (HC), comparing their neural activity across two interoceptive tasks differentially recruiting top-down or bottom-up processing within the same scan session. During an interoceptive attention task, top-down attention was voluntarily directed towards cardiorespiratory or visual signals, whereas during an interoceptive perturbation task, intravenous infusions of isoproterenol (a peripherally-acting beta-adrenergic receptor agonist) were administered in a double-blinded and placebo-controlled fashion to drive bottom-up cardiorespiratory sensations. Across both tasks, neural activation converged upon the insular cortex, localizing within the granular and ventral dysgranular subregions bilaterally. However, contrasting hemispheric differences emerged, with the ADE group exhibiting (relative to HCs) an asymmetric pattern of overlap in the left insula, with increased or decreased proportions of co-activated voxels within the left or right dysgranular insula, respectively. The ADE group also showed less agranular anterior insula activation during periods of bodily uncertainty (i.e., when anticipating possible isoproterenol-induced changes that never arrived). Finally, post-task changes in insula functional connectivity were associated with anxiety and depression severity. These findings confirm the dysgranular mid-insula as a key cortical interface where attention and prediction meet real-time bodily inputs, especially during heightened awareness of interoceptive states. Further, the dysgranular mid-insula may indeed be a “locus of disruption” for psychiatric disorders.
Et helsefremmende perspektiv på foreldrenes psykiske helse for å forebygge omsorgssvikt hos barn
Authors: Fostenes May Linn , Bondas Terese
Published: September 2024

Omsorgssvikt fremstår som et globalt problem som kan resultere i uheldige konsekvenser for barn, og foreldrenes utfoldelse anses som avgjørende for omsorgsutøvelsen. Helsesykepleiere har en unik mulighet til å fremme foreldrehelse og forebygge omsorgssvikt hos barn i konsultasjoner på helsestasjonen. Hensikt med denne studie var å utforske helsesykepleiere sine erfaringer med å fremme foreldrehelse for å forebygge omsorgssvikt hos barn i alderen to- til fire år i en tid av stor utvikling. Kvalitativ forskningsdesign og Braun og Clarkes tematiske refleksive analyse ble valgt. Seksten helsesykepleiere ble rekruttert via strategisk utvalg, fordelt på tre fokusgruppeintervju med vignett. Helsesykepleier ønsket å forstå omsorgssvikt, benevnt som den «usynlige svikten». Kjennskap til familien, samt veiledning i konsultasjonene var viktig for å synliggjøre og avdekke risiko for omsorgssvikt. Prioritering av tid og fokus var viktig for å beskytte barnet mot omsorgssvikt, samtidig som foreldrehelsen ble prioritert for å forebygge. Helsesykepleierne bør inkludere foreldrehelsen på to- og fireårs konsultasjonene for å avdekke behov for støtte og oppfølgning av familien for å forebygge at barn ikke utsettes for omsorgssvikt.
Rotacismo de las consonantes coronales /n, l, d, s/ en español Assumpció
Authors: Bagudanch Rost
Published: September 2024

Este trabajo es un primer acercamiento al estudio del rotacismo en español. Este fenómeno, asociado a procesos de lenición consonántica, se ha descrito habitualmente para /l/. Sin embargo, se ha advertido que también puede darse con otras consonantes coronales: /n, d, s/. En esta ocasión, se aborda un estudio acústico a partir del análisis de habla espontánea. El objetivo es determinar la existencia de soluciones fonéticas temporalmente reducidas que puedan identificarse con segmentos róticos y estudiar sus contextos de aparición. Asimismo, interesa observar si estos son comunes a todas las categorías fonológicas tomadas en consideración. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que se dan casos de [ɹ] o [ɹ̝] en todas las consonantes, principalmente en posiciones asociadas a procesos de debilitamiento (inacentuadas, internas y, especialmente, intervocálicas), aunque se detectan algunas diferencias entre las categorías estudiadas. En cualquier caso, parece que la solución rótica es común en situación de lenición.
On the phonological processes in two varieties of Arabic
Authors: Imani Zolfa , Ahangar Abbas Ali
Published: September 2024

The current study aims to determine some phonological processes in two varieties of Arabic—Standard and Lebanese Arabic—with focus on Lebanese as a cornerstone of analysis within the theoretical framework of generative phonology, henceforth GP (Chomsky & Halle, 1968). In pursuit of this goal, a number of 160 Lebanese Arabic words were extracted from the audio-visual sources such as sound tracks and video clips which were available on virtual spaces. From among the whole data including 160 words, merely 28 words were selected for tabulation in this article. As the major concern of the research was Lebanese Arabic, first, the Lebanese data were transcribed and then comparisons between the two varieties were made to see which phonological changes take place while moving from Standard Arabic to Lebanese Arabic. Ultimately, the results of the study showed that the words in the Lebanese variety of Arabic were phonemically the same as those in the standard variety of the language; however, they were phonetically different. To put it another way, both the Standard and the Lebanese Arabic language varieties have phonologically identical words which are phonetically distinct. In this paper, such consonants as /q/, /ʤ/, /θ/ and /ð/ were looked into from the GP perspective.
