Authors: Martin Chelsea , Palasiewicz Jozef , Grullon Jesse , Shanley Ellen , Thigpen Charles , Kline Daniel , Kluzek Stefan , Collins Gary , Bullock Garrett
Published: April 2023

Background

The 2020 Major League Baseball Season (MLB) demonstrated season disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in training and seasonal time frames may be associated with higher rates of injury.

Purpose

To use publicly available data to compare injury rates during the 2015-2019 seasons, COVID-19 shortened season (2020), and the 2021 season stratified by body region and position (pitchers versus position players).

Study Design

A retrospective cohort study utilizing publicly available data

Methods

MLB players who competed in 1+ seasons between 2015-2021 were included and stratified by position (pitcher, position player). Incidence rate (IR), reported by 1000 x Athlete-Game Exposures (AGEs), was calculated for each season, and stratified by position and body region. Poisson regressions were performed for all injuries and stratified by position to determine association between season and injury incidence. Subgroup analyses were performed on the elbow, groin/hip/thigh, shoulder.

Results

Four thousand, two hundred and seventy-four injuries and 796,502 AGEs across 15,152 players were documented. Overall IR was similar across seasons (2015-2019:5.39; 2020:5.85; 2021:5.04 per 1000 AGEs). IR remained high for the groin/hip/thigh for position players (2015-2019:1.7; 2020:2.0; 2021:1.7 per 1000 AGEs). There was no difference in injury rates between 2015-2019 and 2020 seasons [1.1 (0.9-1.2), p=0.310]. The 2020 season demonstrated a significant increase in elbow injuries [2.7 (1.8-4.0), p<0.001]; when stratified by position, this increase remained significant for pitchers [pitchers: 3.5 (2.1-5.9), p<0.001; position players: 1.8 (0.9-3.6), p=0.073]. No other differences were observed.

Conclusion

The groin/hip/thigh demonstrated the highest IR in 2020 among position players across all season time frames, indicating that continued injury mitigation for this region is necessary. When stratified by body region, elbow injury rates among pitchers demonstrated 3.5 times the rate of injury in 2020 compared to previous seasons, impacting injury burden for the most vulnerable body region among pitchers.

Urban Sufism: Religiousity and Identity Construction of Urban Muslim Community
Authors: Ulya Inayatul
Published: April 2023

Urban sufism is a phenomenon that shows the hijrah representation of urban Muslim communities and the rise of religion in the public sphere. The religious expression displayed by urban Muslim communities is a form of religious accommodation towards modernity. Even religion can be a living solution for modern society. This article explains that exchanging folk is even an identity sought by urban Muslim communities. Their participation in Sufism education is a new form for constructing their religious identity. Referring to Peter L. Berger's construction theory that religion in a cultural context is a product constructed by humans. So that there is a dialectical process between religion and society. The dialectical process goes through three stages, namely externalization, objectification and internalization. The results of the dialectics of religion and culture make Sufism the religious identity of urban Muslim communities. This religious identity is needed by urban Muslim communities both in their roles as individuals and as part of social communities. As individuals, religious identity is needed to fulfill spiritual needs towards self-righteousness and as members of social groups in society, religious identity is needed to strengthen the existence of urban Muslim communities by presenting Sufism with new styles that are more accommodating to modernity.

Gambling advertising’s use of celebrities, humor, and representations of happy people who Win Big, in narratives told in brash colored, high-pitched ads, are argued to increase the risk for gambling problems, or worse, addiction. Online casino ads have been subject to particular legislative attention partly for these reasons, as well as for being increasingly targeted to women who, by some, are judged to be especially vulnerable to such marketing. This paper presents a context-attentive, multimodal discourse analysis of a Swedish online casino brand’s advertising videos from 2014-2022. The study illustrates how general statements regarding risk in relation to (online casino) gambling ads’ content dramatically reduces their potential cultural significance to audiences. It is argued that one should, to a greater extent, treat these adverts as complex and socio-culturally rooted texts whose content may not so easily be written off as simply “risky,” to women or otherwise.
Interpassive Gambling
Authors: Hoebanx Pauline , French Martin
Published: April 2023

Slot machines are recognized as a particularly risky form of gambling. However, there is a form of slot machine consumption that seems to have largely escaped the notice of regulators and scholars: the streaming of slot machine play on YouTube and other platforms. In this article, we present the results of our qualitative study of 21 slot machine videos. Our study examines how these videos portray gambling and how they align with the norms of YouTube’s platform economy. Our analysis underscores the representation of slot machine gambling in this under-regulated media, emphasizing different tactics of viewer manipulation. We introduce the concept of interpassive gambling to reflect the ways that user-generated videos are a form of diffusion of gambling mechanics beyond traditional gambling venues. We conclude by calling for more scholarly and regulatory attention to this gamblified site of media consumption.

Authors: Zini Chaurasia  , Swapnil Agarwal  , Renu Gupta  , Cheta Singh  , Surbhi Jani
Published: April 2023

Background: Parasitic infestations are very common in a developing nation like India. They may present as superficial nodules and are often either missed or misdiagnosed as other soft-tissue lesions. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an easy, minimally invasive technique to detect, and diagnose these lesions. Parasitic infections are present in every age group with cysticercosis being the most common parasitic infestation. The present study highlights the role of cytology in diagnosing parasitic lesions and also analyzes the spectrum of these lesions in a tertiary care hospital.
Aims and Objectives: This study was carried out to assess the spectrum of parasitic infestations in a tertiary care hospital of North West Delhi over 5 years (2015–2019). This was a retrospective and descriptive study done in the Department of Pathology, Dr. BSA Hospital, Delhi.
Materials and Methods: Sixty-six cases out of a total of 15094 FNACs performed over 5 years (2015–2019) that were diagnosed as parasitic lesions on FNAC were included in our study. The records were retrieved, analyzed, and recorded. Clinical details were obtained from the FNAC requisition slips.
Results: A total of 66/15094 FNACs conducted over 5 years were diagnosed as parasitic lesions. Fifty-seven cases of cysticercosis, six cases of filariasis, two cases of echinococcosis, and one case of toxoplasmosis were identified.
Conclusion: As parasitic infections pose a problem in a developing country like ours; hence, early detection is always helpful and reduces the morbidity associated with it. Careful assessment of cytological material aspirated from superficial nodules can be very helpful in detecting parasites.

Published: April 2023

Background: Stricture urethra is generally limited to anterior urethra. At present, there are only a few studies which focus exclusively on the histopathology of stricture urethra disease.
Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the urethral stricture pathology specimens for determining the severity of chronic inflammation and characteristics of stricture, demographics, and patient-reported outcome measures in patients with inflammatory and non-inflammatory strictures.
Materials and Methods: This was a prospective and observational study done on 60 male patients of anterior urethral stricture disease who underwent excision biopsy of stricture during urethroplasty. Pre-operative urinary symptoms assessment was done with a questionnaire provided to all patients and data maintained to assess patient-reported outcomes in inflammatory and non-inflammatory stricture urethra. Cohorts comprising strictures with no inflammation, mild, and moderate to severe inflammation were developed and stricture, the patient characteristics were compared.
Results: In a total of 60 histopathological stricture specimens, there was no inflammation in 40%, mild and moderate inflammation was in 28% and 3.3%, respectively. Lichen sclerosis-related strictures had moderate to severe inflammation and most of the strictures were in bulbar urethra (51.6%). Patients with BXO changes showed more inflammation. In patients with inflammatory strictures, hesitancy, straining, and stream were statistically more compared to non-inflammatory strictures. Idiopathic is the most predominant etiology for stricture which showed no inflammation.
Conclusion: Histopathological analysis of urethral stricture showed significant tissue heterogeneity in clinically similar strictures. Chronic inflammation was commonly found in stricture specimens indicating active antigen presentation for underlying pathology and patients with inflammatory strictures reported worse health outcomes.

Published: April 2023

Background: The primary goal in treating craniocerebral trauma due to any cause is to preserve the patient’s life and remaining neurological function. It has also made the neuroradiologist an indispensable element of the trauma treatment team. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients with brain trauma.
Aims and Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of CT in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients with brain trauma.
Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted on patients with head injuries who were referred to the Department of Radiodiagnosis over a 2 years. Details were noted down on pro forma either immediately before or after the procedure was carried out, depending on the status of the patient. Few of the patients underwent plain radiography of the skull before conducting the CT scan.
Results: In the present study, the most common lesion observed by CT was edema (49%) followed by contusion (48%), whereas least lesion was observed as intraventricular hemorrhage (4%) and intracerebral hemorrhage (8%). In the present study, the patient with low scores (3–5) showed early deterioration as compared to those with higher scores. This could be attributable to the severity of the primary injury. Late deterioration was more common than early deterioration in scores of >8 where mortality within 48 h was virtually nil and the recovery rate was much higher.
Conclusion: This simple, affordable, highly successful, and safe imaging modality should be regarded the initial imaging modality of choice in acute head injury, as it serves as the foundation for cornerstone for rapid and effective diagnosis.

Authors: Ray Ritam , Majumdar Ritam , Ghosh Nirmalya
Published: April 2023

Background: Individuals with sensorineural hearing loss can regain some lost auditory function with the help of hearing aids, but it may be insufficient under non – optimal condition. Future research aspect lies in processing strategy and training to enhance effects of auditory training and rehabilitation of patients using hearing aids. So research is done to supplement the rehabilitation process with patient centric education, counseling and auditory training to help the listener compensate for loss of auditory signal and improve communication. Whether age-related hearing loss can be decreased by auditory training along with hearing aid is to be researched as it is not clear from previous scientific works whether the outcome is significantly better than those with hearing aid who have not received training.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the role of auditory training for improvement of auditory perception in aged patients with age-related sensorineural hearing loss using binaural hearing aid.
Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in Otorhinolaryngology department of Burdwan Medical College and Hospital, Burdwan, a rural based tertiary care hospital in Burdwan for 2 months from June 2022 to July 2022 and 50 aged patients with audiologically proven age related sensorineural hearing loss using hearing aid were included in this study after through history taking and meticulous clinical examination after getting institutional ethics committee clearance. Patients were divided in two groups, 25 in experimental group (with auditory training) and 25 in control group (without auditory training) and result was analyzed.
Results: Formal auditory training was able to improve the central auditory skills of hearing aid users. Improvement was noted in an objective neurophysiologic correlate and perceived by patients, as revealed in a self-assessment questionnaire.
Conclusion: Formal auditory training in adult hearing aid users promotes: Improvement in auditory skills for sound localization, memory for nonverbal sounds in sequence, auditory closure, and figure-to-ground for verbal sounds.

Authors: Ansari Shiba , Jayeeta Bhadra  , Ahirwar Ashok Kumar , Gupta Jasmeen
Published: April 2023

Background: Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) is used for assessing glycemic control over the past 8–12 weeks. This is critical for determining the efficacy of diabetes treatment and predicting the progression of microvascular complications. However, in health-care situations where tests for HbA1c are either unavailable or unfeasible for any reason, clinicians rely only on plasma glucose values for assessing the glycemic control of the patient.
Aims and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between HbA1c and fasting, postprandial, and random plasma glucose levels.
Materials and Methods: Routine blood samples obtained from the laboratory to measure HbA1c and plasma glucose (fasting/postprandial/random) were used for study. A total of 207 samples were used to investigate the relationship between HbA1c and fasting and postprandial glucose (PPG/PP). The correlation of HbA1c with random glucose values was investigated using 112 samples. HbA1c was estimated by immunoturbidimetry and glucose was estimated by hexokinase method. Pearson’s correlation analysis was done by SPSS version 20 software.
Results: The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) with regard to PPG/PP and HbA1c was 0.75 (P=0.01, 95% CI), fasting glucose and HbA1c was 0.73 (P=0.01, 95% CI), and random glucose and HbA1c was 0.59 (P=0.01, 95% CI).
Conclusion: PPG/PP correlates with HbA1c better than fasting or random glucose. When it is impossible to perform HbA1c measurements, PPG measurements should be used instead.

Published: April 2023

In this video, the authors present ultrasonic resection of calcified tumor of the third ventricle in a 12-year-old boy. He presented to the emergency department with a 1-week history of headache, drowsiness, and bilateral papilledema. Despite extensive calcification visible on a CT scan, a minimally invasive pure endoscopic approach was chosen. The use of an ultrasonic aspirator allows fast and safe removal of the tumor. The histological diagnosis was a low-grade glioneuronal tumor. In conclusion, the endoscopic ultrasonic aspirator is a useful tool to resect tumors in the ventricular system. The presence of calcifications within the tumor does not contraindicate an endoscopic approach.

OBJECTIVE

Strokes affect almost 13 million new people each year, and whereas the outcomes of stroke have improved over the past several decades in high-income countries, the same cannot be seen in low-income and lower-middle-income countries. This is the first study to identify the availability of diagnostic tools along with the rates of stroke mortality and other poststroke complications in low-income and lower-middle-income countries.

METHODS

A review of the literature was completed with a search of the MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus databases, with adherence to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Studies were included if they reported any outcomes of stroke in low-income and lower-middle-income countries as designated by the World Bank classification. A meta-analysis calculating pooled prevalence rates of diagnostic characteristics and stroke outcomes was completed for all endpoint variables.

RESULTS

A total of 19 studies were included, of which 6 came from Ethiopia, 3 from Zambia, and 2 each from Tanzania and Iran. Single studies from Zimbabwe, Botswana, Senegal, Cameroon, Uganda, and Sierra Leone were included. A total of 5265 (61.7%) patients had an ischemic stroke, 2124 (24.9%) had hemorrhagic stroke, with the remaining 1146 (13.4%) having an unknown type. Among 6 studies the pooled percentage of patients presenting to hospital within 1 day was 48.37% (95% CI 38.59%–58.27%; I2 = 97.0%, p < 0.01). The pooled in-hospital mortality rate was 19.81% (95% CI 15.26%–25.31%; I2 = 91%, p < 0.01), but was higher in a hemorrhagic subgroup (27.07% [95% CI 22.52%–32.15%; I2 = 54%, p = 0.05]) when compared to an ischemic group (13.16% [95% CI 8.60%–19.62%; I2 = 87%, p < 0.01]). The 30-day pooled mortality rate was 23.24% (95% CI 14.17%–35.70%; I2 = 93%, p < 0.01). At 30 days, the functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score 0–2) pooled rate was 13.10% (95% CI 7.50%–21.89%; I2 = 82%, p < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS

A severe healthcare disparity is present in low-income and lower-middle-income countries, where there is delayed diagnosis of strokes and increased rates of poor clinical outcomes for these patients.

OBJECTIVE

Limited evidence exists on the utility of repeat neuroimaging in children with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) and intracranial injuries (ICIs). Here, the authors identified factors associated with repeat neuroimaging and predictors of hemorrhage progression and/or neurosurgical intervention.

METHODS

The authors performed a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of children at four centers of the Pediatric TBI Research Consortium. All patients were ≤ 18 years and presented within 24 hours of injury with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13–15 and evidence of ICI on neuroimaging. The outcomes of interest were 1) whether patients underwent repeat neuroimaging during index admission, and 2) a composite outcome of progression of previously identified hemorrhage ≥ 25% and/or repeat imaging as an indication for subsequent neurosurgical intervention. The authors performed multivariable logistic regression and report odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals.

RESULTS

A total of 1324 patients met inclusion criteria; 41.3% of patients underwent repeat imaging. Repeat imaging was associated with clinical change in 4.8% of patients; the remainder of the imaging tests were for routine surveillance (90.9%) or of unclear prompting (4.4%). In 2.6% of patients, repeat imaging findings were reported as an indication for neurosurgical intervention. While many factors were associated with repeat neuroimaging, only epidural hematoma (OR 3.99, 95% CI 2.22–7.15), posttraumatic seizures (OR 2.95, 95% CI 1.22–7.41), and age ≥ 2 years (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.16–4.36) were significant predictors of hemorrhage progression and/or neurosurgery. Of patients without any of these risk factors, none underwent neurosurgical intervention.

CONCLUSIONS

Repeat neuroimaging was commonly used but uncommonly associated with clinical deterioration. Although several factors were associated with repeat neuroimaging, only posttraumatic seizures, age ≥ 2 years, and epidural hematoma were significant predictors of hemorrhage progression and/or neurosurgery. These results provide the foundation for evidence-based repeat neuroimaging practices in children with mTBI and ICI.

OBJECTIVE

A pediatric craniotomy for intracranial tumor removal brings both high bleeding and blood transfusion risks. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for intraoperative blood transfusion in this procedure. The secondary outcome was to investigate postoperative complications and clinical outcomes related to blood transfusion.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis was performed among children who underwent a craniotomy for brain tumor resection at a tertiary hospital over a 10-year period. The pre- and intraoperative variables were examined and compared between the transfusion and nontransfusion groups.

RESULTS

One hundred seventy-two patients (58%) received intraoperative blood transfusions among a total of 295 craniotomies in 284 children. Factors associated with blood transfusion were body weight ≤ 20 kg (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 5.286, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.892–9.661; p < 0.001), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status III–IV (AOR 6.860, 95% CI 1.434–32.811; p = 0.016), preoperative hemoglobin ≤ 11 g/dl (AOR 3.610, 95% CI 1.406–9.265; p = 0.008), tumor size ≥ 45 mm (AOR 2.117, 95% CI 1.214–3.693; p = 0.008), and duration of operation ≥ 6 hours (AOR 3.816, 95% CI 1.736–8.385; p = 0.001). Postoperative infection of other systems, other complications, duration of mechanical ventilation, and intensive care unit and hospital length of stay were found to be significantly higher in the transfusion group.

CONCLUSIONS

Lower body weight, higher ASA physical status, preoperative anemia, large tumor size, and prolonged duration of surgery were found to be significant factors for predicting intraoperative blood transfusion in pediatric craniotomy. The identification and modification of risks from intraoperative blood transfusion can be beneficial in reducing the probability of transfusion and improving allocation efficiency of limited blood component resources.
Enhancing Feature Extraction Technique Through Spatial Deep Learning Model for Facial Emotion Detection
Authors: Khan Nizamuddin , Singh Ajay , Agrawal Rajeev
Published: April 2023

Automatic facial expression analysis is a fascinating and difficult subject that has implications in a wide range of fields, including human–computer interaction and data-driven approaches. Based on face traits, a variety of techniques are employed to identify emotions. This article examines various recent explorations into automatic data-driven approaches and handcrafted approaches for recognising face emotions. These approaches offer computationally complex solutions that provide good accuracy when training and testing are conducted on the same datasets, but they perform less well on the most difficult realistic dataset, FER-2013. The article's goal is to present a robust model with lower computational complexity that can predict emotion classes more accurately than current methods and aid society in finding a realistic, all-encompassing solution for the facial expression system. A crucial step in good facial expression identification is extracting appropriate features from the face images. In this paper, we examine how well-known deep learning techniques perform when it comes to facial expression recognition and propose a convolutional neural network-based enhanced version of a spatial deep learning model for the most relevant feature extraction with less computational complexity. That gives a significant improvement on the most challenging dataset, FER-2013, which has the problems of occlusions, scale, and illumination variations, resulting in the best feature extraction and classification and maximizing the accuracy, i.e., 74.92%. It also maximizes the correct prediction of emotions at 99.47%, and 98.5% for a large number of samples on the CK+ and FERG datasets, respectively. It is capable of focusing on the major features of the face and achieving greater accuracy over previous fashions.
