Epidemiology of Spinal Cord Injuries and Their Outcomes: A Study at King Khalid Hospital (KKH), Najran, Saudi Arabia, June 2018–June 2019
Authors: Mahjari Ahood
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-changing neurological injury that puts a significant load on the healthcare system. SCI can be caused by several reasons such as road traffic accident (RTA), motor traffic accident (MTA), fall, gunshots, or bomb blast. There is not much national data concerning the etiology of SCI in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, we conducted this study to quantify the number of SCI incidence at King Khalid Hospital (KKH), Najran between June 2018 and June 2019. The study aimed at reviewing the rate and epidemiology of SCI at KKH for all patients admitted to the hospital during the study period and examining the causes of SCI for suggesting prevention strategies.
Methodology: This retrospective study included all patients with SCI admitted to KKH during the mentioned period. Several factors for each patient were recorded including their age, gender, nationality, cause of SCI, and the outcomes of neurological injury.
Result: In total, 182 SCI patients were admitted during the study period: 53% of them were male, and those aged 16–30 years were most vulnerable to SCI. RTA was the most common cause of SCI for males (59%), followed by bomb blasts (15%). While fall was ranked as the second cause of SCI in males (15.4%), it was the main reason for SCI in females 13%, followed by RTA. The majority of admitted cases in younger age was stable and improved, however, after RTA four patients had quadriplegia and six cases had paraplegia.
Conclusion: RTA is the most common cause of SCI followed by fall and bomb blast. Younger patients are more likely to improve after SCI compared to elderly patients.
Low Back Pain and Its Correlations with Poor Sleep Quality Among Healthcare Providers
Authors: Buhalim Rayan
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Low back pain is found to be the most common occupational and work-related musculoskeletal symptom worldwide. Its prevalence was found to be almost twice among healthcare providers (HCPs) than in other occupations. It is observed that the prevalence of poor sleep quality is higher in HCPs than the general population. To the best of our knowledge, this reciprocal relationship is still unresolved. Thus, this study aims to establish the relationship between low back pain and sleep quality among HCPs in Saudi Arabia.
Methodology: An anonymous cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was performed on HCPs in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire consisted of three sections. The first section included the biographical data of the participants; the second included Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire for low back pain; and the third section was the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Informed consent from each participant and ethical approval were taken before the commencement of the study.
Result: Four hundred and forty-two respondents participated and completed the questionnaire. Nearly two-thirds of the respondents were male (62.7%) while the rest were female (37.3%). Most of the respondents were living in either the central (23.3%) or the northern (23.3%) regions. It was found that the correlation between global PSQI and ODI score was positively highly statistically significant (r = 0.235; p < 0.001). The correlation between ODI score and PSQI components including subjective sleep quality (r = 0.229; p = 0.007), habitual sleep efficiency (r = 0.229; p < 0.01), and daytime dysfunction were also positively highly statistically significant.
Conclusion: HCPs in Saudi Arabia with higher low back pain disability rating demonstrated poorer overall sleep quality and vice versa. However, further research is needed to investigate whether this relationship is dependent on each other in terms of causality.
Lumbar Disc Herniation in Heavy Manual Workers: Conventional Microdiscectomy versus (MIS) TLIF with Unilateral Fixation
Authors: Alqazaz Mohamed
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Conventional discectomy is a common surgical method for treating lumbar disc prolapse. The situation may differ in heavy manual workers who may have more pronounced degenerative spine disease, broad-based disc herniations, and are expected to be exposed postoperatively to the same preoperative manual stress. This study was aimed at comparing the clinical outcomes in patients operated for conventional discectomy versus those operated for TLIF with unilateral spinal fixation.
Methodology: Sixty patients underwent surgeries for lumbar disc herniation. They were divided into two groups; the microscopic conventional discectomy group and the fusion (TLIF and unilateral TPF) group. They were operated between 2017 and 2019. Participants were evaluated pre- and postoperatively at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months’ intervals. Pain was scored by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for both lower limb and back pain. The clinical outcomes were compared using the Prolo economic and functional rating scale and a new outcome score.
Result: The two groups of patients were fairly homogeneous and comparable. Workload exposure to repetitive vibration was the biggest risk for disc prolapse and surgery (28.3%). Fusion group showed better clinical outcomes parameter including better VAS for back pain, better Prolo economic and functional rating scale, and better new clinical outcome score. In comparison, the discectomy group showed significantly higher recurrence rate and reoperation during the follow-up period. During the 12 months’ follow-up visit, when the patients were asked if, under the same circumstances, they would undergo the procedure again, 71.6% of the patients (43 patients) answered affirmatively and this reflects their satisfaction with the results of their surgeries. This satisfaction was reported in 27 patients (90%) in the fusion group and 16 patients (53.4%) in the discectomy group.
Conclusion: Heavy manual workers treated with unilateral transforaminal interbody fusion reported less pain and lower disability scores all over the follow-up period. This technique is preferable to conventional discectomy because it reduces back and leg pain while avoiding the possibility of recurrence by heavy duties and maintains stability of the lumbar spine. We proposed a new clinical outcome score to monitor the clinical outcomes of spine surgery in heavy manual workers. It relates the outcomes to the hours of work, sick leaves, and patient satisfaction with surgery. In our group of patients, it showed significant improvement in the fusion group in comparison to the discectomy group.
Platelet-rich Plasma for Refractory Coccydynia: A Case Report
Authors: Hazazi Abdulaziz
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Coccydynia is a common syndrome characterized by pain localized to the tailbone that radiates into the lower sacrum and perinium. Coccydynia affects female patients more frequently than male patients. It occurs more commonly after direct trauma from fall directly onto the coccyx. The pain is caused commonly by the strain of sacrococcygeal ligament or fracture of the coccyx and less commonly secondary to arthritis. Conservative treatment of coccydynia include simple analgesics and foam donut to prevent irritation to sacrococcygeal ligament. If pain persist, usually ganglion impar block and radiofrequency are alterative options. There are no strong evidence to support coccygectomy.
Case Report: A 40-year-old presented with coccygeal pain for more than six months. The patient was seen at the pain clinic in Prince Sultan Military Medical City after failure of conservative and multiple steroid injections followed by radiofrequency therapy. We discussed with the patient a trial of a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection into the sacrococcygeal ligament under fluoroscopic guidance with full details endorsed to the patient including the risks and benefits of the procedures and informed consent signed before the injection. Pain severity score was taken before and about one month after each injection. The patient received a total of three PRP injections.
Result: The patient reported about 30%, 70%, and 85% pain reduction after the first, second, and third injection, respectively. At six months, the patient continued to experience the same level of reduced pain without the use of regular pain medications.
Conclusion: PRP can be considered as an option for the treatment of patients with refractory coccydynia.
Does Dynamic Taping Affect Pain, Endurance, Disability, Mobility, and Kinesiophobia in Individuals with Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain? A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Rengaramanujam Kanagaraj
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Evidence suggests that the application of Kinesio tape (KT) on patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP) is inconclusive. Dynamic tape (DT) is a relatively new treatment technique, which is increasingly being used as an adjunctive method to treat musculoskeletal problems. To the best of our knowledge, no study has investigated the application of DT in individuals with CNLBP. Thus, there is a need to compare the immediate and short-term effects of DT versus KT and no tape among patients with CNLBP on pain, endurance, disability, mobility, and kinesiophobia.
Methodology: Forty-five patients with CNLBP were randomly divided into three groups: the DT group (n = 15), the KT group (n = 15), and the control group (n = 15). No tape was applied to the control group. The allocation and assessment procedures were blinded. The outcome measures were assessed before the tape application (baseline), 15 min after the tape application (immediate effect), and on the third day post tape application (short-term effect). The primary outcomes of pain, endurance, and disability were measured through the visual analog scale (VAS), Biering–Sorensen test, and Oswestry disability index (ODI), respectively. Secondary outcome measures of mobility and kinesiophobia were measured using the modified Schober test and the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, respectively.
Result: The demographic and baseline characteristics between groups were compared by the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for parametric variables and the Chi-square test for nonparametric variables. A mixed-methods ANOVA (3 ´ 3) was used to analyze the main effect (group effect and time effect) and time ´ group interaction. No significant immediate and short-term differences were found between DT and KT in pain, disability, mobility, and kinesiophobia. Improved back extensor endurance was observed for the DT group compared to the KT (p = 0.023) and control (p = 0.006) groups.
Conclusion: This randomized controlled trial showed that the DT does not have a significant additional effect on pain, disability, mobility, and kinesiophobia among individuals with CNLBP compared to KT. However, participants experienced significant improvement in back muscular endurance after the application of DT. This finding suggests that DT controls the processes that lead to back muscle fatigue. Therefore, more studies are required to examine the therapeutic benefits of DT in treating patients with CNLBP.
Disc Degeneration in Direct Injury or Instability Models Share Common Metabolic Pathways
Authors: Goodwin Matthew
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Disc degeneration is the central component involved in numerous common spinal pathologies. Degenerative disc disease affects millions of people every year, yet the mechanisms driving degeneration remain poorly understood. Previous work to date has shown that high levels of intracellular lactate seem to be involved in driving this pathology once thought to be purely mechanical. Here, we present a series of studies utilizing mouse models of mechanical injuring or loading of the intervertebral disc (IVD), with a goal of better defining the role of lactate and lactate transport in degenerative disc disease.
Methodology: Four models of disc degeneration were studied: (i) lumbar disc poke, (ii) tail disc poke, (iii) spinal instability, and (iv) sham. Female mice (C57BL/6J, n = 30) were randomly assigned to one group. In group 1, a retroperitoneal approach exposed the IVD of the lumbar spine, and a 27G needle was used to injure the disc. In group 2, the needle was inserted in the tail IVD. In group 3, lumbar instability was induced by resection of bilateral facet joints and supraspinous/interspinous ligaments. In group 4, a sham was used for each. The mice were euthanized at two, four, and eight weeks. IVD was evaluated by histological and immunofluorescence analysis. RNA extraction from disc tissue was analyzed with QPCR.
Result: Sham mice did not have significant disc degeneration. In groups 1 and 2, the degenerative process at two, four, and eight weeks was characterized by loss of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells and the gradual increase in matrix components in NP. The distinction between NP and annulus fibroids (AF) or endplate cartilage is lost. There was increased expression of collagen X and MMP13 in the NP, and MCT4 was decreased, while MCT3 was increased. In group 3, disorder of the AF was evident in the first two weeks post surgery, the collapsed disc space and the NP area gradually lessened. The proteoglycan detected in the inner layer of AF and the periphery of NP decreased after eight weeks. There was increase in type X collagen and MMP13 in the inner AF and NP.
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate a common molecular pathway whereby discs degenerate after direct injury or becoming unstable. In our model, there was a rapid degeneration of the IVD in mice who exhibit up- and downregulation of several important markers. Importantly, MCT4 was downregulated, while MCT3 was upregulated. While MCT4 was associated with lactate exportation, and its loss resulted in elevated intracellular lactate and disc degradation, MCT3 is rarely expressed and may be acting as a rescue lactate transporter.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Investigations of accidents in industry have shown that various factors affect the occurrence of accidents. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the prevalence of occupational accidents with individual and occupational factors in the industrial work environment of Qom province.
Methods: This descriptive study was performed based on the incidents registered in the Labor Inspection Office of Qom Province in 2017. All cases were selected and 1048 cases were reviewed according to the accurate registration of incidents. Necessary parameters were extracted from accident reporting forms and their frequency and frequency percentage were analyzed by SPSS 18 software.
Results: The highest number of accidents was in the age range of 20-30 years with less than 5 years of work experience. The lowest number of accidents was related to bachelor's degree and higher. In addition, a high number of victims (41.5%) were involved in construction activities. In the study of the working population, the highest number of accidents was related to workshops with a staff number of 10-24. In investigating the causes of accidents, 33.2% of accidents were identified as lack of safety training and 24.2% as lack of safe work procedures. In the group of equipment causes, the highest share of accidents was due to the lack of proper equipment and in relation to human causes, the main reason for the accident was the non-stopping of the device during repair.
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that demographic and occupational factors, such as age, work experience, and type of industry were very important in the occurrence of industrial accidents. In addition, it was found that managerial, equipment and human causes each have an effective role in the occurrence of accidents, which can be significantly reduced using more supervision by managers and recruiting safety and health officials, and finally observing safety principles in all areas of work.

The mean score of mental workloads in Bandar Abbas Production Company in this study was high (66.67). Among the mental workload subscales, the effort subscale had the highest score (85.32) and the performance subscale had the lowest score (20.00). Statistical tests showed that there was a significant relationship between mental workload and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders.
Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, there was a direct relationship between mental workload and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, measures should be taken to reduce the perceived mental and psychological load, such as reducing working hours, interrupting and resting between working, increasing the variety of working postures, and
Title as a constructive element in the sonnet text
Authors: Moisiienko Anatolii
Published: November 2021

Background. The title of the literary text arises in front of a researcher in two capacities. First – as one of the elements of metatext level, immediately aimed at the close interrelation with the main text, and second – as a separate text structure with its own grammar and semantic structure. The analysis of the title in the interrelation with the main text, taking into consideration genre specifics of the latest, is of immediate interest. Purpose. The target of this study is to describe the title text in the Ukrainian sonnet poem, in particular in the correlation with the integral text structure, which is caused by the absence of any specific research of this problem.Methods. Research approach of the title text as a separate unit and as a constructive element of the wider text structure relies on the basics of classification description, contextual and hermeneutic analysis in the system of literary text.Results. The title of the sonnet poem, generally not falling out of the paradigm of the paratextual formations, on the functional level is characterized by certain particularities compared to other lyric and epic genres – where it can serve, for instance, as a genre self-name of the poem. On the structure level the sonnet marker can start or finish the composite word, serve as an attribute noun in the attributive word combination, play a role of the key word with the dependent substantive etc. The title (together with subtitle or without it) is able to attribute thematic and semantic lines in the poem, some structure and genre changes.Conclusion. The title of the sonnet text, being a paratext element, accomplishes an important prospect and retrospect function for comprehension of the integral structure of the literary text; can serve as genre self-name of the poem, involving at the same time different thematic layers of narration; can also point at some structure and genre modifications of the classic sonnet, and some shifts to other traditional genres.
The dynamical problem on acting concentrated load on the elastic quarter space
Authors: Fesenko A. A. , Bondarenko K. S.
Published: November 2021

The wave field of an elastic quarter space is constructed when one face is rigidly fixed and a dynamic normal compressive load acts on the other along a rectangular section at the initial moment of time. Integral Laplace and Fourier transforms are applied sequentially to the equations of motion and boundary conditions in contrast to traditional approaches when integral transforms are applied to solutions' representations through harmonic functions. This leads to a one-dimensional vector homogeneous boundary value problem with respect to unknown displacement's transformants. The problem was solved using matrix differential calculus. The original displacement field was found after applying inverse integral transforms. For the case of stationary vibrations a method of calculating integrals in the solution in the near loading zone was indicated. For the analysis of oscillations in a remote zone the asymptotic formulas were constructed. The amplitude of vertical vibrations was investigated depending on the shape of the load section, natural frequencies of vibrations and the material of the medium.

Authors: Matic Andreea-Elena , Mirica Stefania-Cristina
Published: November 2021

The protection of the family (especially women and children) consists of important provision in both the international and internal laws of the states. Unfortunately, in Romania, the incidence of domestic violence is high, an aspect that we will highlight in our paper. In this article we aim to analyse the latest legislative changes in the field of protection order, with reference to the provisional protection order. Regarding the temporary restraining order, it is regulated by Order no. 146/2578/2018 (Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Labor and Social Justice, 2018) on how to manage cases of domestic violence by police officers. Through this normative act, the necessary framework was created so that the police can intervene quickly when phenomena of domestic violence are registered and to ensure the immediate protection of the victims of aggressors. The police officers assess the risk situation in each case, and it may be ordered to issue a temporary restraining order until the competent court rules on the situation created for a longer period of up to 6 months, with the possibility of extending it. We will also present some relevant cases. Over the last 10 years, the protection of the family (especially women and children) has made some important progress both in terms of legislation and practice. Unfortunately, the level of domestic violence is still significant and, in addition to the legislative measures we will refer to in the article, more measures are needed to educate the population and raise awareness of the severity of this phenomenon that affects the integrity and physical and mental development of victims.

Published: November 2021

Background: Phyllodes tumor of the breast (PTB) is a rare tumor. PTB exist in benign (BPTB), borderline, and malignant (MPTB) subtypes. Local recurrence (LR) is the most common site of relapse. Treatment of early-stage PTB consists of local excision (LE), with free margins of resection (MR) or mastectomy (MM). Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of all consecutive patients with early-stage PTB treated with breast surgery at our institution for 8 years, in order to describe the outcome and the clinical behavior of PTB. The primary end-points of our study were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints were the description of the pathological features, the site of first recurrence (SFR), and prognostic factors. Results: We included a total of 16 patients. Four patients had BPTB, and 12 had MPTB. Median age was 50 years (21-81), and 62.5% was postmenopausal. Five patients (31.25%) were treated with LE and 11 (68.75%) with MM. Median tumor size was 3.6 cm (1.3-19), median mitosis/high-power field was 10 and 6.25% had positive-MR. With a median follow-up of 97 months, 5-year DFS probability was 65%. There were 5 recurrences (31.25% of all patients), all of them in the malignant subtype. 5-year OS probability was 66%. The most common SFR was LR (62.5%), followed by lung (18.75%) and bone (18.75%) metastases. In univariate analysis, T> 4.5 cm (p=0.004) and positive-MR (p=0.038) were associated with an increased risk of relapse and death. Conclusion: BPTB is associated with a good prognosis after adequate surgery. However, MPTB has a high risk of relapse and death after surgery, and this risk increases with larger tumors and positive-MR.

IMPACT OF NATURAL ENEMIES ON LARVAE OF THAUMETOPOEA BONJEANI (LEPIDOPTERA NOTODONTIDAE) IN ASSOCIATION WITH THAUMETOPOEA PITYOCAMPA IN NORTHERN ALGERIA
Authors: RAHIM NOUREDDINE , CHAKALI GAHDAB , BATTISTI ANDREA
Published: November 2021

The cedar processionary moth, Thaumetopoea bonjeani (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae), is a serious pest of the Atlas cedar Cedrus atlantica in north-western Africa and it is involved in the decline of this endangered tree species. Natural enemies of the cedar processionary moth are poorly known, especially for parasitoids, predators and pathogens of the larval-pupal life stages. Mature larvae were collected and examined in 2014 and 2015 in natural stands of Atlas cedar in the Djurdjura (northern Algeria), in occurrence with pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa. The overall mortality rate of larvae of Thaumetopoea bonjeani ranged from 26.4% to 31.1%, with generalist predators and parasitoids being more effective than pathogens. Four primary parasitoid species were recorded, of which four tachinid flies and one braconid wasp, as well as four predatory beetles and one fungus. The most important species were the carabid Calosoma sycophanta and the tachinid Compsilura concinnata. The cooccurrence of T. bonjeani and T. pityocampa may offer to generalist natural enemies an extended period of availa- bility of similar preys, as the two processionary moths have different life cycles. The sharing of natural enemies between the two species of Thaumetopoea can mitigate the outbreaks of both species.
