Authors: Dalvi Sagar S. , Mhaske Nisha S. , Gaikwad Vishal J.
Published: February 2025

Sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a class of antidiabetic drugs whose mechanism of action is based on the reabsorption of filtered glucose via inhibition of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 in the proximal convoluted renal tubule. Ertugliflozin is the latest in the Series to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with Recent regulatory approvals in the United States (USA) (December 2017), European Union (March 2018), and elsewhere. The clinical and safety profile of individual SGLT2-inhibitors has been investigated in clinical trials in comparison to placebo and other oral anti-diabetic drug classes, as mono-therapy and add-on therapy among patients with T2DM. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that the metabolic profile of ertual hepatic microsomes and hepatocytes is formed by monohydroxylation, O-demethylation and glucuronidation. In a dose-proportional Manner, plasma concentrations (median Tmax) and area under the curve (AUC) increase following single doses from 0.5 mg (0.1 times the lowest Recommended dose) to 300 mg (20 times the highest Recommended Dose) and following multiple dosages from 1 mg (0.2 times the least Recommended dose), Tmax increases by 29% and prolongs Tmax by 1 hour, But does not alter AUC as compared with the fasted state. This new drug serves as an alternative drug for the treatment of patients with type 2DM.

Authors: Namdev Ruchika , Joshi Deepak , Jain Vikas , Sharma Ajay
Published: February 2025

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a persistent metabolic condition defined by insulin resistance and relative insulin insufficiency, frequently worsened by lifestyle elements. Brenzavvy, also known as Bexagliflozin, is a recently authorized medication tailored for managing T2DM. Its approval in the United States on January 20, 2023, marks it as an sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor. This novel drug functions by inhibiting the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2, thereby enhancing glucose excretion in urine and reducing blood sugar levels. This review delves into Brenzavvy 's pharmacological attributes, clinical effectiveness, safety profile, and potential implications for T2DM treatment. Clinical trials have illustrated its efficacy in ameliorating glycemic control in T2DM patients, coupled with added advantages such as weight and blood pressure reduction. Overall, Brenzavvy represents a promising addition to the armamentarium of T2DM management, offering a novel approach to address hyperglycemia and associated metabolic abnormalities. Continued research and monitoring will further elucidate its role in enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life in the management of T2DM.
Evaluating Research on Landscape Architecture and Disability in Scopus Publications
Authors: Mahyar Neshat-Gharamalaki
Published: February 2025

The so-called Universal Design is mainly characterized by a broad understanding of space and the needs of people with disability to join urban life; in this connection, landscape architecture is responsible for generating ergonomic-sensitive exterior spaces for public and private use to help meet disabled people’s needs in the interaction between the artificial and natural environments. The objective of this study was to explore articles from credible Journals of Landscape Architecture and Disability in the Scopus Publication Journal. This study employed a qualitative method and a meta-study strategy to review 148 research articles in 74 journals on Landscape Architecture and Disability published from early 2020 to the end of 2023, emphasizing such keywords as Disability, Landscape, Green space, Garden Park, Greenery, Space, Trees, among others, available at https://www.sciencedirect.com. Findings of articles on landscape architecture and disability mainly featured such elements as sustainability, landscape, environmental psychology, passive defense, historical research, design processes, tourism, physical studies, and environmental perception; these articles, meanwhile, used modern design techniques to meet disability sustainability in landscape elements. The methodology of the articles consisted mainly of a 60% quantitative section (35% survey, and 25% experimental) and a 40% qualitative section (16% case studies, 14% review articles, 7% ethnographic studies, 2% descriptive-analytical, and 1% individual studies). The articles’ variables were mainly composed of abstract/subjective, concrete, mediator/relational, observational, and affected variables at rates of 31, 31, 30, 6, and 2%, respectively. The articles were found to apply three scientific, experimental, and psychological processes, the findings of which could serve as a comprehensive guide to prospective research on the role of disability in landscape architecture.

Assessment of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Effects in High-Voltage AC OHLs Adjacent to Underground Pipelines
Authors: Mohammed A. AlAqil
Published: February 2025

The interaction between high-voltage transmission lines and nearby buried metallic pipelines can create electromagnetic fields that induce potentially dangerous voltages, posing safety risks. This paper explores the impact of electromagnetic interference on underground water pipelines located near a high-voltage transmission line (up to 380 kV) in Riyadh, part of the Saudi national grid. The study found that certain sections of the pipelines did not experience voltages beyond the standard safety limits under normal operating conditions. However, during Line-to-Ground fault scenarios (such as short circuits), the induced voltages exceeded safe thresholds. To mitigate this risk, gradient control wires were implemented to reduce the induced voltage and maintain compliance with safety standards. The research showed that adjusting the wire resistance could effectively lower these voltages, with a 10mΩ resistance proving adequate for this specific line. The findings and recommendations may vary depending on the specific design of the overhead line and the local geography.

In vitro Anther culture and Production of Haploids in Cannabis sativa
Authors: Ravindra B. Malabadi  , Kiran P. Kolkar  , Raju K. Chalannavar  , Antonia Neidilê Ribeiro Munhoz
Published: February 2025

Cannabis sativa has been used for thousands of years for recreational, medicinal, or religious purposes. Another culture technique is the most viable and efficient method of producing homozygous doubled haploid plants within a short period. The most widely extended approaches to obtain doubled haploids (DHs) have traditionally been based on the use of haploid cells of male or female origin to induce their development as haploid embryos by the application of different stresses under in vitro conditions. They are the so-called in vitro approaches. Thus, the long process of conventional breeding methods can be reduced by homozygosity in early generations. The recessive alleles could be obtained and selected earlier due to the homozygosity of doubled haploids (DHs) lines. Double haploid technology (DH) is an essential tool in plant breeding, enabling the rapid production of homozygous lines. However, doubled haploids (DH) were not highly relevant in plant breeding until researchers at the Department of Botany in the University of Delhi, India, reported a major breakthrough in the production of haploids from anther culture in Datura innoxia (Guha and Maheshwari, 1964, 1966). Their research revolutionized the use of doubled haploid (DH) technology in plant breeding worldwide. However, the practical application of this technology in Cannabis sativa improvement is still limited by various factors that influence culture efficiency. Cannabis sativa L. has been categorized as recalcitrant to doubled haploid (DH) induction and androgenesis induction, although very few embryos can be developed. However, the potential of in vitro anther culture in Cannabis sativa is yet to be completely exploited mainly due to the recalcitrant genetic backgrounds in Cannabis sativa.
由街頭走向國際：臺灣文學刊物《陽光小集》中「菲華詩展」的意義與價值
Authors: 侯建州 侯建州
Published: February 2025

自1982年起，「陽光小集」與菲律賓「耕園文藝社」結盟，為國內首度與海外文藝社團締結聯盟的詩社；而《陽光小集》詩刊共計發行十三期，竟有連續六期「菲華詩展｣，如此高規格的跨國合作，在臺灣解嚴前的現代詩刊，可謂絕無僅有。臺灣文學中的華語語系文學曾與菲華文學關係密切，若以此為線索，也是另一條與世界共振的發展機緣。進一步整理《陽光小集》「菲華詩展｣的作品，發現其中已有部分詩作，呈顯有別於臺灣文學題材的菲律賓在地經驗，展現菲律賓在地特色的主題、用語，具有「回歸現實」傾向，與臺灣文學思潮合轍。本文之探究，亦是將臺灣文學思潮放入國際華語語系加以考察，思考其在地與國際雙向視野與實踐的經典範例。

 

The ""Sunshine Collection"" Poetry Society, which publishes ""Sunshine Collection,"" was once positioned as a street movement for modern poetry, or could symbolically be called a street movement for Taiwanese literature. Since 1982, ""Sunshine Collection"" has been allied with the Philippine ""Cultivation Garden, ""the first poetry society in Taiwan to officially ally with overseas literary societies. The Sunshine Collection has published 13 issues in total, and there are six consecutive ""Philippine Sinophone Poetry Exhibitions,"" which were unique in Taiwan’s modern poetry magazines before the lifting of martial law.The Sinophone literature in Taiwanese literature once had a close relationship with Philippine Sinophone literature, and it is another clue for development that resonates with the world. Further organizing the works of the Sunshine Collection and the Philippine Sinophone Poetry Exhibition, we can find that some of these poems tend to ""return to reality"" in line with Taiwan’s literary trend and show the themes and terms of the Philippines’ local characteristics, which are different from the mainstream subjects of Taiwanese literature at that time. This paper explores Taiwanese literature in the international Sinophone literature and considers its two-way perspective and practice a classic example.

Published: February 2025

本文關切賴香吟〈清治先生〉、〈文惠女士〉、〈凱西小姐〉（均收錄於2022年出版的《白色畫像》）作品中的普通人們與日常生活，從中討論白色恐怖的日常叛離、隱匿文本、歷史結構與人為主體的相互關係，並試圖以塞托（Michel De Certeau）提出的戰略（strategy）與戰術（tactic）、斯科特強調的（James C. Scott）弱者實踐與隱匿文本，以及赫緒曼（Albert O. Hirschman）揭示的叛離（exit）、抗議（voice）、忠誠（loyality）這三種與威權的距離來進一步思考白色恐怖的日常實踐、日常反抗、隱蔽文本、叛離逃逸及普通行為者的心靈與行動。藉此，本文首先提出賴香吟在三篇作品中，深刻描繪臺灣人如何陷入政治忠誠度的嫌疑犯、語言的鄉土味與日本氣，甚而被排除公職領域的一體三面。其次，跳脫反抗史觀與苦難敘事的雙重論述，轉移到安身立命的視角論及日常實踐中順服／反抗的擺盪、受害／加害邊界的曖昧。尤其，〈清治先生〉前臺表面忠誠、後臺卻隱匿文本的抵抗，而〈文惠女士〉作為臺籍女性幫傭的繁瑣日常成為國族隱喻，並以瑣碎拒絕政策網羅與主體分裂，最後〈凱西小姐〉的叛離則是一種被迫的流亡，然而，此種流亡也展現海外臺灣人拒絕被治理的態度。是以，這三篇作品互文白色恐怖時期的日常生活與普通人家，進而體現日常叛離、隱匿文本、不受統治的戰術。

 

This paper examines how ordinary people practiced everyday resistance during Taiwan’s White Terror period through a close reading of three stories from Kaori Lai’s Portraits in White: "Mr. Ching-chih," "Ms. Wen-hui," and "Miss. Kathy," exploring interconnections between practices of disengagement (exit), hidden narratives, and individual subjectivity within broader historical structures. Drawing on Michel de Certeau’s concepts of strategy and tactic, James C. Scott’s analysis of weapons of the weak and hidden transcripts, and Albert O. Hirschman’s framework of exit, voice, and loyalty as tools for distancing from authority, this paper examines how ordinary actors engaged in daily resistance through both thought and actions. Through these three stories, Lai reveals how the White Terror regime scrutinized Taiwanese individuals—questioning their political loyalties, impacting their use of local Taiwanese and Japanese linguistic expressions, and ultimately excluding many from public office positions. Lai challenges traditional White Terror historiography, which often focuses on either resistance or suffering, by depicting how ordinary people’s search for daily stability produced practices that oscillated between submission/resistance and blurred the boundaries of victim/perpetrator. While "Mr. Ching-chih" presents an outward facade of regime loyalty, Lai embeds subtle forms of resistance within its subtext. In "Ms. Wen-hui," Lai presents the protagonist—a female domestic helper—as a metaphor for the Taiwanese people, depicting how she preserves her identity through small daily acts of resistance against regime policies. Finally, the narrative of "Miss. Kathy" reveals how forced exile became a form of "exit" that, paradoxically, expressed overseas Taiwanese people’s resistance to regime control. Through these three stories, Lai illuminates how ordinary people during the White Terror embodied various forms of resistance—whether through tactics of exit, hidden transcripts, or daily refusal to be governed.

Legal And Ethical Implications Of Recognizing Artificial Intelligence As An Inventor In Intellectual Property Law
Authors: Gupta Bipasha , Dubey Prof. (Dr.) Vijaishree
Published: February 2025

The quick improvement of man-made intelligence has raised a few moral and legitimate worries, particularly in the field of licensed innovation regulation. Whether or not artificial intelligence frameworks ought to be recognized as designers is profoundly discussed. This affirmation represents a test to traditional overall sets of laws that connect development with the choice and imagination of people. Rethinking protected innovation privileges, changing financial motivations for research, and reshaping patent frameworks internationally could all come about because of conceding inventorship to computer based intelligence. Acknowledgment of man-made intelligence as a designer raises moral inquiries of obligation, value, and the conceivable destruction of human innovators. It likewise makes individuals ponder how much society values human innovativeness contrasted with what PCs can do. This study dives into the verifiable setting, current guidelines, and moral contemplations around the possibility of computer based intelligence designer acknowledgment, proposing a center ground that advances development while safeguarding IP regulation's human-focused standards.

Published: February 2025

Sebagai negara demokrasi, Indonesia menyelenggarakan pemilihan umum presiden (pilpres) setiap lima tahun sekali. Usai pemungutan dan perhitungan suara pilpres seringkali menimbulkan pro dan kontra yang menyebabkan adanya sidang sengketa. Pengajuan amicus curiae ke Mahkamah Konstitusi oleh salah satu politisi menjelang putusan sidang sengketa pilpres 2024 menimbulkan banyak diskursus karena belum diatur dengan jelas dalam Undang-Undang Pemilu. Media massa memberitakan terkait amicus curiae tersebut karena menjalankan fungsi pengawasan pemerintah atau watchdog. Oleh karena itu, media massa harus objektif khususnya berimbang dalam menyajikan pemberitaan agar bisa dipercaya dan diandalkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat keberimbangan Detik.com dalam pemberitaan amicus curiae dengan analisis isi kuantitatif Krippendorf dengan teori objektivitas Westerstahl sebagai acuan.

Desastres socioambientais, memória da violência e oralidade
Authors: Benaion Patrick
Published: February 2025

O trabalho parte da análise de eventos da trajetória de Joseli dos Santos, cearense nascida em 1969 e mãe do autor. Viúva no início dos anos 2000, passou por desastres socioambientais no Rio de Janeiro, para onde se mudou aos 18 anos. O objetivo é discutir o papel fundamental e devastador dos desastres de pequeno e médio porte, que ocorrem de modo corriqueiro no Brasil. Diferentemente dos grandes desastres, esses eventos costumam ser invisibilizados, assim como as experiências das vítimas e os relatos sobre eles. É observada a necessidade de um olhar mais atento para esses eventos, e enfatizada sua dimensão eminentemente narrativa, tendo em vista suas implicações para a sociedade e o modo pelo qual esses eventos são avaliados ou esquecidos pela história. Para tanto são usados aportes teóricos oriundos da história ambiental – como os conceitos de desastres socioambientais e de justiça ambiental –, da história oral, sobretudo para analisar o discurso e a trajetória de Joseli e outros casos como o estudado, e discussões abordadas nos estudos de memória, violência e traumas na história.

O abismo da identidade
Authors: Moura de Cavalcanti Mello Gustavo
Published: February 2025

Nas últimas décadas, as políticas de identidade adquiriram forte expressão em distintos quadrantes do espectro político, e têm sido amplamente debatidas no âmbito acadêmico. Em consonância com essa tendência, neste artigo procura-se analisar o tema a partir da crítica marxiana da economia política, buscando opor as políticas de identidade em chave emancipadora ao identitarismo do capital. Para tanto, na primeira sessão busca-se discutir as formas especificamente capitalistas do patriarcado, do racismo e do nacionalismo. Posteriormente, a atenção se volta para o risco de reversão das políticas de identidade em identitarismo: na terceira sessão, a partir dos casos da Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), do sionismo e do jihadismo árabe, reflete-se sobre o processo por meio do qual a violência supremacista estimula respostas alicerçadas em parâmetros similares, que acabam por reproduzi-la. A sessão seguinte trata da relação entre o identitarismo e a ressurgência contemporânea do neofascismo, sobretudo a partir de alguns fenômenos políticos europeus. Por fim, busca-se considerar a articulação entre identidade e emancipação a partir de uma perspectiva universalista, sobretudo baseada em proposições de Franz Fanon.

Authors: Muharam Riki Satia , Rusli Budiman
Published: February 2025

The Public Service Mall (MPP) is an innovation in government services that aims to increase the efficiency, effectiveness, and accessibility of public services. From an environmental economic perspective, MPP contributes to optimizing the use of resources and encouraging the growth of community welfare. This research discusses the environmental economic benefits generated by MPPs in Indonesia, focusing on resource efficiency and its impact on community welfare. Through the integration of various services in one location, MPP reduces people's travel needs, thereby saving time, cost, and energy consumption. In addition, the existence of MPPs can encourage carbon footprint reduction through operational efficiency and optimization of public infrastructure. On the other hand, MPP improves the accessibility of basic services, which has an impact on reducing social disparities and improving the quality of life. The conclusion of this study shows that the development of MPP not only supports the bureaucratic reform agenda, but also has a positive impact on the environmental economy through more efficient resource management and sustainable improvement of community welfare.

PLATELET SPLEEN INDEX IS A NONINVASIVE TECHNIQUE TO DETECT ESOPHAGEAL VARICES IN CIRRHOTICS
Authors: KHAN S , AMAR H , MUNEEB A
Published: February 2025

Esophageal varices (EV) are a common complication in cirrhotic patients, and early detection is crucial to prevent variceal bleeding. Traditionally, the diagnosis of EV requires invasive procedures such as endoscopy. The Platelet Spleen Index (PSI), a noninvasive method, has shown promise in identifying patients with EVs. Objective: To assess the role of the Platelet Spleen Index in detecting esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients and compare its diagnostic accuracy to traditional invasive methods. Methods: A total of 1000 cirrhotic patients were included in this study. Each patient underwent an abdominal ultrasound to measure spleen size and a complete blood count to determine platelet count. The Platelet Spleen Index (PSI) was calculated using the formula: PSI = (Spleen diameter in cm × Platelet count) / 1000. Endoscopy was performed on all patients to assess the presence and grade of esophageal varices directly. The diagnostic performance of PSI was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, sensitivity, specificity, and positive/negative predictive values. Results: The PSI value demonstrated a significant correlation with esophageal varices, with an optimal cutoff of ≤1.2 predicting the presence of varices. At this threshold, PSI exhibited a sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 79%. Positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated as 85% and 81%, respectively. ROC analysis revealed an AUC of 0.89, highlighting the high diagnostic accuracy of PSI in identifying esophageal varices. Furthermore, PSI was significantly correlated with variceal grade, with lower PSI values associated with higher varice grades. Conclusion: The Platelet Spleen Index is a reliable, noninvasive method for detecting esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients. This technique offers a valuable alternative to endoscopy, particularly in resource-limited settings or in situations where endoscopic screening is not immediately available.
Major range extension of the genus Eucypraedia Schilder, 1939 with the discovery of a new species from the middle Miocene of South Australia
Authors: Celzard Alain
Published: February 2025

While the genus Eucypraedia Schilder, 1939 is well known in Europe, and has been
reported in the Americas with the species Eucypraedia multicarinata Dall, 1890, claimed to have
the widest known distribution for a Paleogene gastropod, from the Gulf of Mexico to Peru, a new
species belonging to this genus has just been discovered in Southern Australia. Eucypraedia hawkei
n. sp., from the Cadell Marl sediments near Adelaide, is a large species that meets all the diagnostic
criteria for being assigned to this genus. Its existence therefore considerably extends the range of
Eucypraedia, both geographically and temporally, since it had never before been observed in
Australia or in the Miocene.

The utilization of neutrosophic fuzzy logic with machine learning constitutes a revolutionary way of improving epidemic modelling. With the help of Weka, this method solves the problem of uncertainty and vagueness that is characteristic of epidemic processes with the help of neutrosophic equations. These equations enhance the way how indeterminacy of epidemic levels can be modelled, therefore enhancing predictions of complex networks. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is confirmed by extensive evaluations providing extensive tables and visualizations regarding the improvements in the accuracy and reliability of the models. Further, the work explores time-optimal control strategies of SIR epidemic models. It shows exactly how bang-bang controls work avoiding the duration of outbreaks drastically, especially if introduced with delayed interventions. This finding is especially important for controlling the health of livestock since the response to disease outbreaks has to be done as soon as possible because of stringent measures on animal health. Altogether, the analysis presented therein contains strong recommendations that would help to improve the handling of epidemics and better understand the approaches to employ in decision-making under conditions of risk and ambiguity.

Published: February 2025

Tujuan kegiatan Pengabdian Pada Masyarakat (PKM) ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi area prioritas penanganan banjir di Desa Guali, Kabupaten Muna Barat, dengan menggunakan pendekatan spasial. Analisis spasial dilakukan dengan menggabungkan data DEM, penggunaan lahan, dan curah hujan dalam Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG). Hasil analisis yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa daerah aliran sungai DAS Kusambi yang melalui Desa Guali memiliki kerentanan banjir yang tinggi akibat terjadinya perubahan tata guna lahan di area sekitarnya menjadi permukiman serta kondisi kapasitas saluran drainase yang secara eksisting tidak memadai. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, maka direkomendasikan untuk melakukan normalisasi sungai, membangun infrastruktur pengendali banjir pada area yang topografi rendah, daya resap lahannya rendah, dan yang tidak kalah pentingnya adalah meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat tentang pentingnya menjaga lingkungan.

Current State of Diversity in Orthopaedic Surgery Residency and Future Direction: A Review
Authors: Petrie Kyla , Garcia-Lopez Edgar , Markes Alexander , Feeley Brian
Published: February 2025

Orthopaedic surgery is one of the least diverse fields in medicine. Barriers to increasing the racial, gender, and sexual minority diversity of residents include pervasive negative impressions about the culture in orthopaedic surgery; lack of early exposure to and education about orthopaedics; new large-scale diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that have yet to become fully established; and lack of mentorship from those with shared backgrounds, gender, sexual orientation, or race. Recently, there have been several pipeline initiatives aimed at exposing women and underrepresented minority students to orthopaedics and medicine early in their careers, which have shown remarkable success. Toward this goal, recent recommendations from Nth Dimensions have provided a toolkit to help recruit and maintain diverse trainees. Furthermore, advocating for further funding and support of initiatives from national organizations that lead the field of orthopaedics will be paramount to institutionalizing efforts of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the orthopaedic community.
Retrograde Femoral Lengthening Below a Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Burns David , LoPolito Andrew G. , Hoellwarth Jason Shih , Reif Taylor J. , Fragomen Austin T. , Rozbruch S. Robert
Published: February 2025

Background:

Limb length discrepancy (LLD) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common occurrence and can lead to back pain, disordered gait, and decreased functional outcomes. Femoral lengthening ipsilateral to a THA using a retrograde motorized intramedullary lengthening nail (MILN) is a hip-sparing option for limb equalization. There has been little published on the technique and results of this method.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed all patients at our institution who underwent unilateral femoral lengthening using a retrograde MILN ipsilateral and distal to a THA between April 2016 and June 2022. We describe the technique and considerations for this procedure in detail and report the patient demographic variables, etiology and magnitude of LLD, concomitant deformity, knee range of motion, time to union, and all adverse events and complications.

Results:

Eleven lengthening procedures were included in this cohort. Etiology for LLD included osteonecrosis (4); postinfection (3); and one each of post-trauma, congenital deficiency, hip dysplasia, and iatrogenic discrepancy secondary to the index THA procedure. The mean lengthening was 35.7 ± 14.7 mm (range 20 to 70 mm) with a lengthening index of 1.5 ± 1.2 months until union per cm of lengthening. Complications included two patients who required reamed exchange nailing to achieve union and one interprosthetic fracture treated with removal of the MILN and plate fixation. No adverse effects on THA function were documented.

Conclusion:

Femur lengthening using a retrograde MILN ipsilateral to a THA is a safe and reliable hip-sparing option for post-THA limb length equalization.

Introduction:

Differentiating benign and malignant myxoid soft-tissue tumors preoperatively can be challenging due to shared clinical, imaging, and histologic features. Biopsy specimens are frequently described as “low-grade myxoid neoplasms” without benign or malignant classification (ie, indeterminate). Our purpose is to evaluate the prevalence and prognosis of myxoid tumors with an indeterminate diagnosis before resection.

Methods:

A retrospective review identified 439 patients with a musculoskeletal myxoid soft-tissue tumor confirmed on final resection pathology. Biopsy result (benign, malignant, indeterminate) for each biopsy type was compared with the final resection diagnosis. Indeterminate diagnosis before resection was defined as when the preoperative diagnosis was uncertain to be benign or malignant based on all biopsy data. For patients with sarcomas on final resection and 2-year follow-up, the prevalence of positive margins and local recurrence were compared between patients with an indeterminate diagnosis before resection and those with a malignant diagnosis known preoperatively.

Results:

The prevalence of indeterminate diagnosis before resection was 28% (66/235). In these patients with sarcomas on final resection and 2-year follow-up, the positive margin rate at resection surgery was 37% (10/27) compared with 15% (11/74) in patients with a malignant diagnosis known preoperatively (P = 0.049). Their 5-year local recurrence–free survival was 73% (95% confidence interval, 58 to 92) compared with 92% (95% confidence interval, 86 to 98) in patients with a malignant diagnosis known preoperatively (P = 0.022).

Conclusion:

Indeterminate diagnosis before resection in myxoid tumors is relatively common, compared with prior reports in nonmyxoid neoplasms. Patients with indeterminate diagnosis before resection had two times higher rate of positive margins at resection surgery and markedly shorter local recurrence–free survival at 5 years compared with patients with malignant diagnosis known preoperatively. Diagnostic uncertainty at the time of resection is associated with worse oncologic outcomes in myxoid tumors.
