With the exponential increase in technology use, insider threats are also growing in scale and importance, becoming one of the biggest challenges for government and corporate information security. Recent research shows that insider threats are more costly than external threats, making it critical for organizations to protect their information security. Effective insider threat detection requires the use of the latest models and technologies. Although a large number of insider threats have been discovered, the field is still limited by many issues, such as data imbalance, false positives, and a lack of accurate data, which require further research. This survey investigates the existing approaches and technologies for insider threat detection. It finds and summarizes relevant studies from different databases, followed by a detailed comparison. It also examines the types of data used and the machine learning models employed to detect these threats. It discusses the challenges researchers face in detecting insider threats and future trends in the field.

Frequent Sural Nerve Injury with Posterior Approach for Ankle Fracture Fixation
Authors: Simske Natasha M. , Kotchman Halle , Pennacchio Caroline , Dorney Ian , Vallier Heather A.
Published: May 2024

Introduction:

The purpose of this study was to report the incidence of iatrogenic sural nerve injury in a large, consecutive sample of surgically managed ankle fractures and to identify factors associated with sural nerve injury and subsequent recovery. We hypothesize that a direct posterior approach may be associated with higher risk of iatrogenic sural nerve injury.

Methods:

A retrospective cohort study of 265 skeletally mature patients who sustained ankle fractures over a 2-year period was done. All were treated with open reduction and internal fixation of fractured malleoli. Patient, injury, and treatment features were documented. The presence (n = 26, 9.8%) of sural nerve injury and recovery of sural nerve function were noted.

Results:

All 26 sural nerve injuries were iatrogenic, occurring postoperatively after open reduction and internal fixation. Patients who sustained sural nerve injuries had more ankle fractures secondary to motor vehicle collisions (23.1% versus 9.2%), more associated trimalleolar fractures (69.2% versus 33.9%), and more Orthopaedic Trauma Association/AO 44B3 fractures (57.7% versus 25.1%), all P < 0.05. A posterior approach to the posterior malleolus through the prone position was used in 20.4% of patients. All 26 of the sural nerve injuries (100%) occurred when the patient was placed prone for a posterior approach, P < 0.001. Therefore, 26 of the 54 patients (48%) treated with a posterior approach sustained an iatrogenic sural nerve injury. 62% of patients had full recovery of sural nerve function with no residual numbness, and patients with nerve recovery had fewer associated fracture-dislocations (23.1% versus 100%, P = 0.003).

Conclusions:

A posterior approach for posterior malleolus fixation was associated with a 48% iatrogenic sural nerve injury rate, with 62% recovering full function within 6 months of injury. Morbidity of this approach should be considered, and surgeons should be cautious with nerve handling.

Critical Portions of a Foot or Ankle Surgical Procedure From Patient and Surgeon Perspectives
Authors: Flaherty Alexandra , Mathur Vasundhara , Heyrani Nasser , Waryasz Gregory , Guss Daniel , Ashkani-Esfahani Soheil , DiGiovanni Christopher W.
Published: May 2024

Background:

Over the past decade, overlapping procedures in orthopaedic surgery have come under increased public scrutiny. Central to this discussion is what should constitute a “critical portion” of any surgical procedure—a definition which may differ between patients and surgeons. This study therefore aimed to assess which components of three common foot and ankle procedures are considered “critical” from both the patient and surgeon perspectives.

Methods:

For this survey-based study, questionnaires were administered to patients who presented to an orthopaedic foot and ankle clinic and separately administered to foot and ankle surgeons through e-mail. The questionnaires broached all steps involved in three common foot and ankle procedures: open reduction and internal fixation of ankle fracture, Achilles tendon repair, and ankle arthroscopy. Respondents were asked to characterize each step as “always critical,” “often critical,” sometimes critical,” rarely critical,” or “never critical.” A combined “always critical” and “often critical” response rate of greater than 50% was used to define a step as genuinely critical. Patient and surgeon responses were thereafter compared using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests (P-value <0.05 was considered significant).

Results:

Notably, both patients and surgeons considered informed consent, preoperative marking of the surgical site, preoperative time-out, surgical soft-tissue dissection, and certain procedure-specific steps (critical portions) of these procedures. By contrast, only patients considered skin incision and wound closure to be critical steps.

Conclusion:

Patients and surgeons were largely in agreement as to what should comprise the critical portions of several common foot and ankle procedures. Certain discrepancies did exist, however, such as skin incision and closure, and both groups were also in general agreement regarding what was not considered a critical component of these operations. Such findings highlight a potential opportunity for improved preoperative patient education and patient-physician communication.

Published: May 2024

Introduction:

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services removed total hip arthroplasty (THA) from the inpatient-only list but continued to classify admissions as inpatient if they include two midnights, complicating care if an outpatient THA requires extended hospitalization. This study evaluates risk factors of patients undergoing outpatient-designated THA with a length of stay (LOS) ≥ 2 days.

Methods:

A total of 17,063 THA procedures designated as outpatient in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database between 2015 and 2020 were stratified by LOS < 2 days (n = 2,294, 13.4%) and LOS ≥ 2 days (n = 14,765, 86.6%). Demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes were compared by univariate analysis. Multivariable regression analysis identified predictors of LOS ≥ 2 days.

Results:

Outpatients with extended LOS were older (mean 65.3 vs. 63.5 years; P < 0.01); were more likely to have body mass index (BMI) > 35 (24.0 vs. 17.8%; P < 0.01); and had higher incidences of smoking (15.1% vs. 10.3%; P < 0.01), diabetes (15.4% vs. 9.9%; P < 0.01), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (4.4% vs. 2.3%; P < 0.01), and hypertension (57.6% vs. 49.2%; P < 0.01). Patients with LOS ≥ 2 days had a higher incidence of surgical site infection (P < 0.01), hospital readmission (P < 0.01), and revision surgery (P < 0.01) over 30 days. Multivariable analysis demonstrated advanced age, female sex, African American race, Hispanic ethnicity, diabetes, smoking, and hypertension were independent risk factors for LOS ≥ 2 days.

Conclusion:

Despite removal from the inpatient-only list, a subset of outpatient THA remains at risk of an extended LOS. This study informs surgeons on the relevant risk factors of extended stay, enabling early inpatient preauthorization.

Published: May 2024

Introduction:

Double-crush syndrome (DCS) represents a condition that involves peripheral nerve compression in combination with spinal nerve root impingement. The purpose of this study was to compare electrodiagnostic study (EDS) results in patients undergoing carpal tunnel release (CTR) for carpal tunnel syndrome with those undergoing both CTR and anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion for DCS.

Methods:

Patients receiving an isolated CTR were compared with those undergoing CTR and anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion within two years of CTR. The latter group was defined as our DCS cohort. Electrodiagnostic study results were collected which included sensory and motor nerve conduction data as well as electromyogram (EMG) findings. All electrodiagnostic studies were done before CTR in both sets of patients.

Results:

Fifty-four patients with DCS and 137 CTR-only patients were included. Patients with DCS were found to have decreased sensory onset latency (3.51 vs 4.01; P = 0.015) and peak latency (4.25 vs 5.17; P = 0.004) compared with the CTR-only patients. Patients with DCS had slower wrist motor velocity (30.5 vs 47.7; P = 0.012), decreased elbow motor latency (9.62 vs 10.6; P = 0.015), and faster elbow motor velocity (56.0 vs 49.4; P = 0.031). EMG results showed that patients with DCS were more likely to have positive findings in the biceps (31.9% vs 1.96%; P < 0.001) and triceps (24.4% vs 2.97%; P < 0.001), but not abductor pollicis brevis (APB) (45.7% vs 37.9%; P = 0.459).

Conclusion:

We identified changes on EDS between patients with and without DCS. In patients with DCS, sensory nerve studies showed shorter peak and onset latency than in CTR-only patients. Interestingly, DCS and CTR-only patients had different patterns of wrist and elbow motor nerve conduction. Providers observing positive EMG findings proximal to the APB should raise their suspicion for possible cervical radiculopathy and when present with carpal tunnel syndrome-like symptoms, should also consider DCS in their diagnostic differential.

Published: May 2024

Introduction:

The nature of wrestling may lead athletes to mask injuries with the delayed presentations of youth wrestling-related injuries not being well characterized.

Methods:

This descriptive epidemiological study queried the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database to characterize delayed presentations of wrestling-related injuries in middle and high-school athletes. Data collection consisted of national estimates, demographics, and injury characteristics of patients with delayed (D) presentations (≥1 day) and same-day (S) presentations to US emergency departments after sustaining a wrestling-related injury during the scholastic wrestling season (December to February, 2000 to 2019).

Results:

Of middle and high-school wrestlers presenting to US emergency departments, 5.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.3% to 7.1%) reported delayed presentations for a total of 1,110 patients (CI, 591 to 1,630) annually. Most commonly (P < 0.001), injuries were sustained on Saturdays in both cohorts (D, 28.2%; CI, 22.4% to 34.8%; S, 29.6%; CI, 24.3% to 35.5%). Patients reporting delayed presentations were less likely to sustain fractures (D, 11.5%; CI, 8.3% to 15.6%; S, 18.9%; CI, 15.0% to 23.5%; P = 0.019) and injuries of the head/neck (D, 20.0%; CI, 16.5 to 24.1%; S, 26.2%; CI, 21.4% to 31.7%; P = 0.011).

Discussion:

A substantial proportion of adolescent wrestlers report delayed presentations of injuries. This emphasizes the need for vigilance in detecting subtle signs of injury.

Authors: Layson James T. , Jackson Matthew C. , Wells Adrienne J. , Mabee Kathryn , DeClaire Jeffrey H. , Frisch Nicholas B.
Published: May 2024

Introduction:

With the rise of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), rapid motor and sensory recovery after anesthesia is crucial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low-dose single-shot hyperbaric bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia (SA) for patients undergoing outpatient arthroplasty.

Methods:

Data were reviewed from a single ASC from 2018 to 2020 for two arthroplasty-trained surgeons for all patients with primary arthroplasties that had administration of low-dose hyperbaric bupivacaine. Data collected from the ASC records were then further evaluated for total spinal block time, length of blockade, time to discharge criteria, visual analog scale (VAS) scores, and time to discharge.

Results:

Two hundred twenty-seven patients undergoing 244 primary arthroplasties received SA with low-dose hyperbaric bupivacaine. The volume of 0.75% bupivacaine varied: 115 patients received 0.8 mL (6 mg), 111 patients received 1.0 mL (7.5 mg), and 17 patients received 1.2 mL (9 mg). Total SA time averaged 144 minutes with a mean of 30 minutes from post anesthesia care unit arrival to motor recovery. The mean time from post anesthesia care unit arrival to discharge criteria was 89 minutes. The average VAS at discharge was 1.44; the average VAS on POD1 was 3.0. No episodes of urinary retention and no reports of transient neurologic symptoms were noted in the study population.

Conclusion:

Low-dose, single-shot hyperbaric bupivacaine SA is an effective option in the ASC for arthroplasty, providing a fast return of motor function, facilitating rapid discharge, and is safe with a relatively low-risk profile.

O transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) consiste em uma condição de desenvolvimento neurológico, caracterizada por alterações do comportamento relacionadas ao convívio social, linguagem e limitações motoras. Comumente são mais acometidas por doença periodontal e cárie dentária do que a população geral e devido a tendência a aderirem a rotinas, podem necessitar de várias visitas ao cirurgião-dentista (CD) para se aclimatarem ao ambiente odontológico. Em casos graves de TEA, a estabilização do paciente com a associação de técnicas seguras de anestesia geral está indicada. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar o atendimento em centro cirúrgico, sob anestesia geral de um paciente de 9 anos de idade, sexo masculino, leucoderma portador de TEA, que havia passado por tratamento dentário complexo no ano de 2016 e, desde então encontrava-se em acompanhamento clínico odontológico, contudo devido queixa de“dor dentária” e impossibilidade de atendimento ambulatorial, foi necessário o  planejamento de nova intervenção a nível hospitalar. Evidenciamos nesse relato a importância do acompanhamento do paciente com TEA, bem como a relevância do atendimento sob anestesia geral que em alguns casos é essencial para auxiliar no restabelecimento da qualidade de vida do paciente.

Published: May 2024

A significant contributor to disability, low back pain (LBP) is getting worse overall. The varying nature of the exercise regimens recommended to treat low back pain in the sports community contributes to the lack of clarity surrounding the prevention and rehabilitation of LBP. In order to treat lower back discomfort, several authors have suggested stabilising activities that place less stress on the spine. Despite the wide range of exercise therapy currently available, McGill has developed the "McGill Big Three," three exercises for treating lower back pain (MGB3). The curl-up, side plank, and bird-dog are a few of these. Examining the clinical results of giving the MGB3 to people with persistent LBP is the goal of this review. Randomized control trials using MGB3 core stabilisation exercises for patients with chronic low back pain met the inclusion criteria. The study covered all full-text papers written in English that were published at any time. One author independently reviewed studies for quality. This review included a total of four randomised control trials. There were several cohorts analysed, each with its own age, demographics, and occupation. Numerous pain levels as well as patient-reported functional and performance indicators were among the outcomes examined. Controlled clinical trials using this approach to treat low back pain produced poor-quality data with mixed statistical significance, little to no clinical significance, and this was true regardless of the measure utilized or even when compared to baseline. These studies all have limitations. McGill approach has an in-depth assessment with physical and laboratory based testing followed with an big 3 exercise prescription, it is concluded that tailored made exercise program doesn't help to relive back pain and improve muscle strength.Currently there is limited data supporting the clinical benefit of the McGill approach for the treatment of low back pain based on the available randomized clinical trials. More study is required prior to widespread adoption into clinical practice. Keywords: Mcgill Approach, Back Pain, Sports Population, Exercise Rehabilitation

Young adolescent people use mobile phones for various purposes and use them for min 6 – max 10 hours a day. The sitting posture during mobile use in people affects the neck muscles so the extension and lateral rotation of normal range of motion are restricted, which leads to pain and stiffness in the neck. The objective of the present study was to find the effect of mobile phone use on the cervical range of motion. A total of 70 People who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study Neck pain was assessed using the VAS scale. Range of motion was assessed using the goniometer and the total duration of mobile usage in a day was also assessed for this study. The result from the present study showed that the increase in the flexion Range of motion was more than normal and a decrease in the ROM than normal for extension and lateral rotation to the left side of the cervical spine. The mean values of the VAS scoring showed that there was a mild increase in pain in mobile users. The person’s correlation showed that there was a significant relation between the duration of mobile use and an increase in cervical ROM and a decrease in cervical extension and lateral rotation. Prolonged use of mobile affects the cervical ROM and leads to pain and stiffness so limiting the duration of use of mobile will reduce such risk factors and its complications.

This research aims to examine the place naming system by the Kaili community and how the system is a disaster mitigation effort. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, and data collection techniques through in-depth interviews. The results of this study show that the Kaili people have a concept of naming space and place by paying attention to the geographical structure of the landscape as well as seeing events related to natural events, especially disasters. Tagari Lonjo is an area full of mud and was not a settled area in the past. The naming of Tagari Lonjo as an effort in disaster mitigation is interpreted from the name Lonjo itself, which means muddy or liquefaction.

The average initial body weights of all animals were 16.87±0.97 kilograms and the average final weight were 23.25±1.07 kilograms under 60 days feeding period. Four groups were fed with fresh grass (para grass) at 3.5 kg/head/day (T1; Control group), para grass hay at 1.5 kg/head/day (T2), ruzi grass hay at 1.5 kg/head/day (T3), and pangola grass hay at 1.5 kg/head/day (T4). All animals received concentrate with 14 %CP 0.2 kg/head/day throughout the period of the study. The results showed that animals in the 4 groups had no difference in weight gain and average daily gain (P>0.05). Total dry matter intakes of groups 1-4 were found to be 2.86±0.08, 1.28±0.09, 1.27±0.09 and 1.34±0.08 kgDM/head/day (P<0.01), respectively. Total dry matter intakes of protein were 0.09±0.01, 0.07±0.01, 0.08±0.01 and 0.10±0.01 kgDM/head/day, respectively (P<0.01). Total dry matter intake per body weight of group 1 was 16.99% of body weight, which was significantly higher than other groups (P<0.01). Blood metabolites such as blood glucose in range 63.94-70.04 mg/dl, and blood urea nitrogen in the range 13.44-17.13 mg/dl were found to be in the normal range (P>0.05). The total production costs per head of the four groups averaged 224.78±3.72, 240.42±3.73, 240.13±3.73 and 245.71±3.72 baht/head (P<0.01) and total production costs per weight gain were found to be 38.78±7.90, 37.93±7.92, 38.85±7.92 and 48.79±7.90 baht/head, respectively.
