Published: January 2022

Background/Objectives:  Chronic subdural hematoma commonly reported in neurosurgical practices. Variations are reported in neurosurgical practices regarding the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (SDH). This study determined the outcomes of SDH with Drain and without Drain in terms of recurrence and effectiveness.

Material and Methods:  A randomized control trial was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery Ayub Teaching Hospital Abbottabad. Group-A patients were subjected to drainage of chronic subdural hematoma without drain and Group-B patients were subjected to drainage with drain. All patients were followed up to one month for recurrence of subdural hematoma like on CT-scan.

Results:  Overall, the recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma in both groups was seen in 16.7% of patients and the procedures were effective in 83.3% of patients. In Group A, 79.6% of patients were successfully treated through burr hole with irrigation, while 20.4% of patients had recurrent chronic SDH. In Group B, only 13% of patients had a recurrence, while 87% of patients were successfully treated with burr with the closed continuous drainage system. An insignificant difference (p-value: 0.302) existed between groups for both types of procedures.

Conclusion:  The patients who were treated with burr hole and irrigation of the subdural space with normal saline had high recurrence incidence than those with burr hole with closed continuous drainage system.

Published: January 2022

Objectives:  A prospective observational study was aimed to assess the role of plain radiographs and computed tomography in detecting head injuries presented at the medicolegal office at the Forensics and Radiology Departments, Gambat Medical Hospital, Sindh.

Material and Methods:  All cases referred from the Medicolegal Office (MLO) with head injury were included. All victims underwent X-ray head and computed tomography skull was done with 1 or 1.5 cm thick axial sections without administration of intravenous contrast. The radiological reports of X-ray head and CT scans were documented and comparatively evaluated.

Results:  Mean age was 38.63 ± 3.91 years. In 51 (45.13%) cases, X-ray was able to detect skull fracture, while CT scan detected 64(56.64%) skull fractures. There were 54 (84.3%) true positives, 3 (2.6%) false positives, 10(8.8%) false negatives, and 40 (40.7%) true negatives. The accuracy of X-ray to detect skull fracture was 88.50%.

Conclusion:  X-ray had a sensitivity and specificity of 84.38% and 93.88%, respectively. It is a reliable tool to detect skull fractures in victims of assault in comparison with CT scans. X-ray is also associated with low dose radiation exposure as compared with CT scan which delivers 70 times more exposure than the former.

Published: January 2022

Objective:  The study aimed to determine the rate and type of complications during surgery for treatment of chronic subdural hematoma and assess ways for their prevention.

Material and Methods:  A total of 50 patients of chronic SDH were selected from the Neurosurgery Department of Bahawal Victoria Hospital. Patients were treated surgically with a single burr hole evacuation under local anesthesia, introduced a subdural drain, nursed in a head-down position for 24 hours, and given plenty of fluids orally and intravenous route. The surgical technique involved a formation of a single burr hole at the point of maximum density.

Results:  Out of 50, 43 patients recovered smoothly postoperatively and discharged on the 7th postoperative day. Two patients were re-operated due to inadequate evacuation or reaccumulation. One patient developed subdural empyema post-operatively and expired in spite of good antibiotic cover. In one patient subdural drain penetrated the brain parenchyma resulting in dysphasia. Another patient formed an intracerebral hematoma due to irrigation of the cavity with pressure. One patient with GCS 4/15 developed seizures postoperatively and expired after one hour. One patient developed gross subdural tension pneumocephalus after removing the subdural drain was re-operated and recovered.

Conclusion:  Single burr hole evacuation of chronic SDH under local anesthesia is the most accepted surgical treatment. Using proper aseptic surgical techniques, the introduction of the minimum necessary length of the subdural catheter to avoid penetration into the brain parenchyma, followed by careful irrigation of the subdural cavity can help prevent complications.

Published: January 2022

Objectives:  An observational, prospective study was conducted to determine the incidence and risk factors associated with victims of physical assault and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Material & Methods:  All the registered medico-legal cases reported to the emergency department of Gambat hospital were included in the study. The data was collected on a predefined questionnaire including age, gender, mode of injury, weapon of the injury, type of assault (blunt or penetrating), firearm injuries, and road traffic accidents from medico-legal registers. Impact of Event Scale (IES) was used to assess Post-traumatic stress disorder.

Results:  The mean age (SD) of victims was 29.3 (10.25) years. Blunt injuries were experienced by 47 (31.33%) victims. The majority of the victims suffered road traffic collision injuries, 59 (39.33%). Forty-eight (32%) victims had substantially higher IES scores (above 37) that confirmed severe PTSD that may contribute to the suppression of the immune system’s functioning among survivors. The majority of the victims were between 18 and 40 years.

Conclusion:  The most common cases were related to road traffic collisions followed by blunt injuries. The incidence rate of PTSD was also prevalent in these individuals. Thus, strategies should be developed to prevent such incidents and those who suffer from such traumatic events must be offered psychiatric consultation.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality in both adults and children. As with other severe injuries, the outcome of TBIs is also gravely related to the quality of emergency care. Effective emergency care significantly contributes to reduced morbidity and mortality. This study was ensued to evaluate the characteristics of TBIs in Pakistan and their outcomes in the emergency department (ED).

Methods: This retrospective review included records of all TBI patients seen in the Neurosurgical ED of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, Pakistan from 1st September 2019 till 7th December 2019.

Results: During the study period, 5,546 patients with TBI were seen in the ED; an estimated 56.5 patients per day. There were 4,054 (73.1%) male and 1,492 (26.9%) female patients. Most of these (26%) were of age <10 years. The most common culprit of TBI was road traffic accidents (RTAs) (n=2,163; 39%) followed by accidental fall (n=1,785; 32.2%). Head injury was mostly mild (n=4,034; 72.8%) and only 265 (4.7%) had a severe injury. Only 10% (n=549) patients were admitted for further treatment, 16% were managed in the ED then discharged, and 67% were immediately discharged from the ED after the first examination and necessary management. The ED mortality rate of TBIs was 2.2% (n=123/5,546) in our study. All of these cases had severe head injuries.

Conclusion: Major culprits of TBI are RTAs and accidental falls. TBIs are mostly mild-to-moderate and the ED mortality rate is low.

contusions managed conservatively.

Material and Methods:  A prospective observational study was carried out in, Punjab Institute of Neurosciences, Lahore. A total of 97 patients, from 15-65 years, who were diagnosed with cerebral contusions and being managed conservatively were enrolled from July 2019 to December 2019. They were followed-up for 12 – 18 months.

Results:  A total of 23% patients developed early post-traumatic seizures (PTS) and 11% of patients developed late post-traumatic seizures with mild to moderate brain injury.6% of patients with early PTS used antiepileptic drugs (AED) for at least three months during follow up and 7% with late PTS used AED. 8% of patients developed late PTS without any early PTS. The results of our study show that among 23% early PTS and 11% late PTS only 3 % actually required to use AED for at least 6months. To prevent this, 3% of the population 44% were using AED supplementary.

Conclusion:  In our study, the incidence of early and late PTS is comparable to the other studies. The non-judicious use of the anti-epileptic drug is common in our country which leads to an increase in the risk of drug resistance and cost-intensive for poor patients in developing countries as prophylactic and excessive use of anti-epileptics does not affect the PTE.
Abdominal Aortic Pseudo-Aneurysm, a Dreadful Complication of Caries Spine – A Case Report
Authors: DIN SHAMS UD
Published: January 2022

The thoracic spine is the most frequently involved region in carries spine, 60 percent; and in the thoracic spine, more than 70 percent occur in the midthoracic regions D8, 9, 10. The cauda equine and lumbosacral involvement frequency are less frequently involved. But the vascular complication it causes is a rare disease, with high mortality when it involves adjacent critical vascular structures like the abdominal aorta with complicating aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm. Evaluating a patient with a caries spine starts with a thorough history, physical examination findings, laboratory investigations like CBC, ESR, CRP, ICT TB, etc., complete radiological workup like X-rays, 3-D CT reconstruction of the whole spine, MRI whole spine with and without contrast. We presented a case of 21 years male who was suffering from caries spine, at D11 – D12; which had eroded his abdominal aorta secondary to bony spicules of carries. This erosion of the aorta had blood leak into psoas muscle, which was mimicking psoas abscess on preoperative CT scan spine, and MRI whole spine. During corrective surgery for his caries spine, unexpected torrential bleeding was encountered, when the left psoas muscle was given nick. Bleeding was stopped with packs and with the help of a cardiac surgeon. Postoperatively the patient was kept in ICU, but unfortunately on the 8th post-surgery patient succumbs to his illness. In our case, psoas muscle pseudoaneurysm was missed radiologically in both MRI and CT spine preoperatively. Angiography with endovascular aortic stenting would have changed the surgical course of the patient.

Authors: Khan Alamgir , Ahmad Fayyaz , Rehman Ehsan-ur-
Published: January 2022

Objectives:  This case-series was aimed to determine the surgical outcome of brain abscess after a single burr hole aspiration technique in terms of the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS).

Material & Methods:   100 cases were taken in the study with brain abscess. The favourable outcome included those patients with postoperative GOS of 4 or 5, at discharge and one month postoperatively whereas unfavourable outcome included patients with postoperative GOS of less than 4, at discharge and one month postoperatively.

Results:  Of the 100 patients included, there were 72 (72%) males and 28 (28%) females. The overall mean diameter of the abscess was 6.01 cm ± 1.90. Mean GOS was 2.95 ± 0.86 while mean GOS 3.79 ± 1.18. In this study 75% (n=75) patients presented with a GCS of 12 or less. Among these patients, 2 patients presented with a GCS of 5, 6 patients with a GCS of 7, 9 with GCS 8, 11 with GCS 9, 18 with GCS 10, 15 with GCS 11 and 14 patients presented with a GCS of 12. A favourable outcome was observed in 73 (73%) patients (GOS = 4 and 5), while 27 (27%) were in the unfavourable outcome group.

Conclusion:  Although most of the patients present with a good neurological state, those who present with lower GCS are particularly prone to the poor postoperative outcome and higher mortality. The size of the brain abscess is also an important predictor of the postoperative outcome. The overall outcome for brain abscess aspiration was good.

Published: January 2022

Objective:  To observe the outcome of single burr hole evacuation of EDH in a pediatric population.

Material and Methods:  We included 52 children who had had a head injury and were diagnosed with EDH on a CT scan. Over three months, they were all admitted to the pediatric neurosurgery ward. Serial CT scans and neurological evaluations were performed on all of the youngsters regularly to monitor their progress.

Results:  52 pediatric and adolescent patients were included. The age range was 6 months to 18 years. There were 30 male and 22 female patients. All of the children have EDH as a result of head injuries sustained in various accidents. All of the youngsters underwent surgery to remove EDH through a single burr hole. On the second postoperative day, five infants underwent reoperation owing to neurological deterioration, and two children died. The result was good (mRS 0) in 44/52 (84.6%) instances, mild deficits (mRS 1–2) in 4/52 (7.6%), and severe impairments (mRS 3–5) in 2/52 (3.84%) cases six months after the event.

Conclusion: Although, EDH is a life-threatening surgical disease if not treated promptly, EDH evacuation by a single burr hole has a satisfactory prognosis in the juvenile population, with fewer complications and recurrences.

Published: January 2022

Objective:  Cerebral venous thrombosis is a common neurological disease. It has been treated so far with Warfarin that needs continuous monitoring of PT (prothrombin time) and INR (International Normalization Ratio) with potential complications due to this problem. Newer oral anticoagulants have been recommended for other thromboembolic events like pulmonary embolism and can be a good alternative treatment of CVT. We determined the effectiveness of new oral anticoagulant Rivaroxaban in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis.

Material and Methods:  The study was conducted in the indoor department of Neurology, Punjab Institute of neurosciences for 1year. Magnetic cerebral venography (MRV) Brain was done at the start of Rivaroxaban, at 3 months and at 6 months where needed. The bias effect was removed by getting MRV done and reported from the same department.

Results:  A total of 18 patients were enrolled in the study. One patient was lost to followup. Mean age of our patient data was 28.66 ± 6.66. 16 (88%) patients were females and 2 (11%) were males. 9 patients (50%) had clinical and radiological recovery based on MRV brain at 3 months.7 patients (38%) had recovery based on clinical and radiological parameters at 6 months. Only 1 patient had partial recanalization but that also improved clinically.

Conclusion:  Rivaroxabancan is a very effective alternative for warfarin in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis which will avoid concerns commonly encountered with warfarin.

Authors: Khan Sajid , Khan Musawer , Haq Naeem-ul- , Ali Mumtaz , Ishaq Muhammad
Published: January 2022

Post-traumatic acute epidural and subdural hematoma is a common neurosurgical emergency. Epidural or extradural hematoma is an accumulation of blood between the skull and dura mater, mostly appears asa hyperdense biconvex shape on computed tomography (CT) scan. In our present study, weencountered a case of an eight years old malechild brought to the hospital with head trauma in aroad traffic accident. Initial CT scan revealed an epidural hematoma, which appeared isodense rather than the usual hyperdense presentation. This unusual presentation was due to low hematocrit (HCT). Thisparticular presentation poses a diagnostic dilemma and can compromise patient managementultimately leading to treatment failure.  Here, we present a case report about diagnosing and managing an anemic patient with traumatic isodense acute epidural hematoma.

Understanding Nautilus's Reasonable-Certainty Standard: Requirements for Linguistic and Physical Definiteness of Patent Claims
Authors: Fox Gary
Published: January 2022

Patent applicants must satisfy a variety of requirements to obtain a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The definiteness requirement forces applicants to describe their inventions in unambiguous terms so that other inventors will understand the scope of granted patent rights. Although the statutory provision for the definiteness requirement has been stable for many years, the Supreme Court’s decision in Nautilus v. Biosig Instruments altered the doctrine. The Court abrogated the Federal Circuit’s insoluble-ambiguity standard and replaced it with a new reasonable-certainty standard. Various district courts have applied the new standard in different ways, indicating the need for further clarification. This Note argues that, following the establishment of the reasonable-certainty standard, courts may understand the definiteness requirement under a two-part framework of linguistic and physical definiteness, which are both required for claims to be definite. A claim fails the linguistic-definiteness requirement if it is open to multiple constructions and one construction is not clearly correct. Additionally, a claim fails the physical-definiteness requirement if it uses comparative terms or involves ambiguous spatial relationships not limited to a narrow range.

The furniture industry is experiencing the problem of uncertainty in determining the optimal amount of wood raw material inventory. Fuzzy logic is one of the methods used to analyze systems that contain uncertainty. This study discusses the application of fuzzy logic in solving the problem of supplying wood raw materials in the furniture industry with the Fuzzy-Mamdani approach. The data used in this study are data on the entry, distribution, and supply of wood raw materials from January to December 2018. The design of the system to obtain output is carried out in the following stages: (a) Formation of fuzzy sets, (b) Application of functions implications, (c) Composition of rules, (d) Affirmation (defuzzification). Solving the problem using the Fuzzy Tsukamoto method is carried out by the Tsukamoto method with the help of Visual Basic software so that the desired results will be obtained on the output variable. From the results of calculations using the Fuzzy Tsukamoto method, it can be analyzed that the comparison between the realized wood raw material inventory with the Fuzzy Tsukamoto approach looks different and the results from the Fuzzy Tsukamoto approach are more optimal.

PT. Mataram Tunggal Garment is a company that produces clothes with 100% of their production being exported to various countries. To maintain machine productivity, one of the factors to pay attention to is maintenance. This research focuses on needle detector conveyors in the packing division to determine the actual condition of the conveyors. Conveyor availability value in January is 100%. In February the availability value decreased to 97.1% due to the conveyor breakdown with a frequency of 1 time. 6 hours of repair time required. For March, the availability value is in 100% condition, which indicates the conveyor is in optimal condition. Suggestions for improvements that are proposed include improving technician skills to better understand the machine in question so that damage handling is faster. Recording every maintenance time is also very necessary to reduce the potential for damage to the machine considering that the longer the engine part is used, it will shrink. In addition to checking the part replacement process can be carried out if needed. Machine operators must understand the proper operation of the machine and perform maintenance independently

Material handling is very important in the production process. PT. Mataram Tunggal Garment uses a goods trolley as a tool to mobilize cardboard boxes containing products. In practice, many employees experience complaints such as back pain due to manually raising and lowering product, difficulty passing downhill and incline due to the absence of brakes, the trolley is difficult to operate, and the trolley is too heavy. If this problem is not resolved immediately, it will have a negative impact on employee safety and company productivity. Therefore, this study aims to design recommendations for goods trolley in the finishing and packing division. From the results, the percentile used for shoulder width is P95: 53 cm, standing elbow height is P5: 84.5 cm and forward hand reach is P5: 65 cm. The proposed design is to add brakes to make it easier to go through inclines or descents, the handle of the trolley can be adjusted in height, the trolley is designed to raise and lower cartons automatically, the size of the trolley container is made to be adjusted to the size of the carton, adding wheel locks, and choosing the stainless steel and polypropylene plastic as a material because of their strength and lightness.

Published: January 2022

Este estudo compõe um projeto de pesquisa que objetiva analisar e discutir as concepções de interdisciplinaridade identificadas em pesquisas nas áreas da Educação Matemática e Ensino de Ciências relacionadas à Educação do Campo. A problemática que tratamos aqui é a seguinte: De que forma o currículo para a escola no/do campo pode ser pensado de modo a inserir a Matemática em propostas interdisciplinares com as Ciências da Natureza? São analisados, a partir da análise do discurso em uma perspectiva foucaultiana, trabalhos científicos publicados nos anais do Encontro Nacional de Educação Matemática (ENEM) e do Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (ENPEC). Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para algumas premissas curriculares defendidas na educação no/do campo e suas reverberações nos discursos analisados; destaca a temática que centraliza os objetivos de um currículo interdisciplinar: a agricultura em uma perspectiva agroecológica; e aponta reflexões sobre o sujeito professor de Matemática nesse contexto.

Objetivamos aqui pesquisar o que envolve o processo de inclusão  no ensino e na aprendizagem, a partir da Teoria da Inclusão do Outro, com relação aos professores de Matemática de uma Instituição pública de educação básica técnica e tecnológica de Belo Horizonte/MG. O grupo de discussão foi composto por três professores e a reunião aconteceu por videoconferência, devido ao trabalho no formato remoto, e foi gravada com autorização dos participantes. Como motivação para a discussão foi lançada uma pergunta para os participantes; o PPI – Projeto Pedagógico Institucional serviu de inspiração para a formulação da pergunta, pois nesse documento nós buscamos traços sobre a inclusão no ensino. A Teoria do Agir Comunicativo e a Teoria da Inclusão do Outro, de Jurgen Habermas, foram o referencial teórico adotado para a análise tanto do documento como do discurso dos professores, pois esse autor incentiva o diálogo como recurso para a solução de problemas sociais, de modo a proporcionar mudanças efetivas na realidade social das pessoas.
Uma análise das funções da Geometria em outros campos da Matemática: um olhar sobre livros didáticos

Published: January 2022

Esse artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado cujo objetivo foi investigar as funções que a Geometria desempenha em campos não-geométricos (Álgebra, Aritmética, Probabilidade e Estatística) em livros didáticos dos Anos Finais do Ensino Fundamental, aprovados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro e do Material Didático 2017. O aporte teórico está embasado nos estudos de Flores acerca da cultura visual, entendida como concepções inerentes à cultura de uma sociedade, reveladas em sua forma visual. No contexto da cultura visual, amparamo-nos no conceito de visualidade, definido como os discursos que informam sobre o modo como nós vemos. No que tange à metodologia, essa é de natureza qualitativa, tendo sido analisadas três coleções de livros didáticos, totalizando 12 obras. Todo o conteúdo de Geometria que permeava os capítulos de Álgebra, Aritmética, Probabilidade e Estatística foi classificado de acordo com as funções que desempenhava, a saber: função ilustrativa, formativa, explicativa, demonstrativa, representativa e imagem mental. Resultados mostram que, em alguns conteúdos de Álgebra e Aritmética, a Geometria se constituiu como prática visual que compõe os modos de olhar dos alunos da Educação Básica. Em Probabilidade e Estatística, entretanto, suas funções são escassas. Nesse cenário, notamos que a Geometria e as figuras geométricas são articuladas aos outros campos da Matemática com o propósito de ensinar. Por diversas vezes, sua integração se deve, principalmente nos campos de Álgebra e Aritmética, à expectativa de facilitar o ensino de alguns conceitos abstratos, ilustrando-os por meio de figuras geométricas.
