OBJECTIVE

Craniocervical junction arteriovenous fistulas (CCJ-AVFs) are complex vascular shunts that present a challenge for treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of microsurgery and endovascular embolization for CCJ-AVFs and to determine whether the treatment approach affected the obliteration rate and neurological improvement.

METHODS

The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 64 patients who had undergone microsurgery or endovascular embolization for CCJ-AVF at one of two neurosurgical centers from January 2014 to February 2022. Additionally, a pooled analysis of 68 patients from 38 studies was performed. Baseline characteristics, angioarchitectural features, and clinical outcomes were compared between two treatment groups. A subgroup analysis of CCJ-AVFs with carotid artery (CA) feeders was also performed.

RESULTS

In the multicenter cohort, the complete obliteration rate was 95.1% with microsurgery, 81.8% with embolization via the CA, and 50.0% with embolization via the vertebral artery (VA). After adjusting for baseline and confounding features, the occlusion rate was significantly lower in the VA embolization group (adjusted OR 41.06, 95% CI 2.37–711.9, p = 0.01). No new-onset infarctions occurred in the microsurgical group, whereas 1 patient each in the CA and VA embolization groups experienced posttreatment infarction. Microsurgery demonstrated a neurological improvement rate similar to that in the CA embolization group (65.9% vs 63.6%, respectively). In the subgroup analysis of CCJ-AVF with CA feeders in the multicenter cohort, the occlusion rate and neurological improvement in the CA embolization group were comparable to those in the microsurgery group. The subgroup analysis in the pooled analysis revealed complete obliteration rates of 100.0% in the microsurgical group, 88.9% in the CA embolization group, and 66.7% in the VA embolization group.

CONCLUSIONS

This study supports microsurgery as the best treatment modality for CCJ-AVFs, exhibiting the highest rates of complete obliteration. Conversely, embolization via the VA can result in a lower occlusion rate and less neurological improvement. In CCJ-AVFs with CA feeders, embolization via the CA can be a safe and effective alternative to microsurgery.

Authors: He Kun , Wang Kai , Liu Zhenlei , Zhang Lei , Liu Shaocheng , Zhang Xiangyu , Wang Yutian , Zhang Weikang , Zhang Li , Yu Yanbing , Wu Hao
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate the differences in clinical features, diagnostic examination, treatment, and pathological results between adult-onset and pediatric-onset tethered cord syndrome (TCS).

METHODS

The authors searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases through January 2023 for reports on TCS, extracting information on clinical features, imaging data, treatment modalities, prognosis, and pathological research results. A total of 6135 cases from 246 articles were included in the analysis. This review was conducted in accordance with the 2020 PRISMA guidelines and registered on PROSPERO.

RESULTS

The most common adult clinical manifestations were pain, urinary symptoms, and numbness; in children, they were urinary symptoms, skin lesions, bowel symptoms, and unspecific motor deficits. Surgical treatment was the primary approach for both adults and children, with a higher clinical improvement rate observed in adults. However, adults also had a higher rate of surgical complications than children. TCS pathological studies have not yet identified the differences between adults and children, and the pathogenesis of adult-onset TCS requires further investigation.

CONCLUSIONS

Adult-onset and pediatric-onset TCS exhibit certain differences in clinical characteristics, diagnostic examinations, and treatments. However, significant differences have not been found in current pathological studies between adults and children.

Outcomes, complications, and dosing of intrathecal baclofen in the treatment of multiple sclerosis: a systematic review
Authors: Cozzi Francesca M. , Zuckerman David , Sacknovitz Ariel , Gozum Nimrod , Syal Arjun , Danisi Fabio , Sukul Vishad
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate empirical outcomes of studies in the literature that investigated effectiveness of intrathecal baclofen (ITB) in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS)–related spasticity (MSRS) based on various metrics. Since the first description of this route of baclofen delivery for MS patients by Penn and Kroin in 1984, numerous studies have contributed to the medical community’s knowledge of this treatment modality. The authors sought to add to the literature a systematic review of studies over the last 2 decades that elucidates the clinical impact of ITB in treating MSRS with the following endpoints: impact on patient-centered outcomes, such as spasticity reduction (primary), complications (secondary), and dosing (secondary).

METHODS

The authors queried three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) using the following search terms: (intrathecal baclofen) AND (multiple sclerosis). The set inclusion criteria were as follows: 1) original, full-text article; 2) written in the English language; 3) published between and including the years 2000 and 2023; 4) discussion of pre- and post-ITB pump implantation outcomes (e.g., reduction in spasticity and improved comfort) in MSRS patients with long-term ITB treatment; and 5) contained a minimum of 5 MS patients. Data on study type, patient demographics, follow-up periods, primary outcomes, and secondary outcomes were extracted from the included studies.

RESULTS

The authors’ search yielded 465 studies, of which 17 met inclusion criteria. Overall, they found evidence for the effectiveness of ITB in treating MSRS patients whose condition was refractory to oral medications, with significant reported changes in spasm frequency from pre- to postimplantation. They also found evidence supporting the positive impact of ITB on MSRS patients’ quality of life. Moreover, the authors found that most complications were surgical rather than pharmacological. In addition, the average 1-year dose of ITB (reported in 7 of the included studies) was 191.93 μg/day, which is substantially lower than ITB doses reported in the literature for patients with central (non-MS) or spinal origins of spasticity at 1-year follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS

The evidence supports ITB as a clinically effective treatment for MSRS, particularly in patients in whom oral antispasmodics and physiotherapy have failed. This systematic review contributes a comprehensive synthesis of clinical benefits, complications, and dosing of ITB reported over the past 2 decades, which furthers an understanding of ITB’s clinical utility in practice.

Authors: Shlobin Nathan A. , Jimenez Med Jimson D. , Shahin Maryam N. , Hofflander Lindsey , Trierweiler Robin , Misasi Jennifer , Rosenow Joshua M. , Rojas Ana-Marie , Raskin Jeffrey S.
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVE

Spasticity is a challenging feature of cerebral palsy (CP) that may be managed with selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR). Although standard work tools (SWTs) have recently been utilized to inform a standard of care for neurosurgical procedures, no SWTs for SDR have been previously described. The authors present the multidisciplinary approach SWTs for SDR used at their institutions to promote consistency in the field and minimize complication rates.

METHODS

A multidisciplinary approach was used to define all steps in the SDR pathway. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative workflows were synthesized, with specific efforts to improve mobility through inpatient rehabilitation and minimize infection.

RESULTS

The SWTs have been implemented at two institutions for 7 years. An illustrative case of a patient aged 3 years 10 months with a history of premature birth at 29 weeks, spastic-diplegic CP, right-sided periventricular leukomalacia, and developmental delay who underwent L2–S1 SDR is presented.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors detail SWTs for SDR developed by a multidisciplinary team with specific steps at all points in the patient pathway. The illustrative case emphasizes that SWTs may help ensure the safety of SDR while maximizing its long-term efficacy for individuals with CP.

Authors: Mossner James , Abdelmageed Sunny , Votoupal Megan , Misasi Jennifer , Saleh Nour , Dziugan Klaudia , Krater Timothy , Raskin Jeffrey S.
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVE

Intrathecal baclofen (ITB) is an effective treatment for hypertonia in children involving the implantation of a pump and catheter system. The highest concentration of ITB is at the catheter tip. The catheter tip location is most commonly within the lumbar or thoracic spine. The cervical tip location has traditionally been avoided because of concerns of hypoventilation and pneumonia; however, these complications in cervical compared with thoracic or lumbar placement have not been reliably proven. Some studies have suggested that cervical ITB location better treats upper-extremity hypertonia. There are limited data describing the safety and efficacy of cervical ITB on hypertonia. The authors present a single-institution retrospective case series highlighting the safety and efficacy of using cervical ITB location for the treatment of hypertonia.

METHODS

Retrospective data analysis was performed for children who underwent continuous dosing cervical ITB between April 2022 and October 2023. Nonmodifiable risk factors, clinical variables, operative characteristics, and adverse outcomes were collected.

RESULTS

This study included 25 patients (8 female). The mean age at implantation was 12.4 years, and the mean operative duration was 90 minutes. The mean Barry-Albright Dystonia Scale score decreased by 9.5 points (p = 0.01). The mean aggregated modified Ashworth scale score in the upper extremities decreased by 2.14 points (p = 0.04), and that in the lower extremities decreased by 4.98 points (p < 0.01). One patient each (4%) had infection and baclofen toxicity. Two patients (8%) had respiratory depression requiring continuous positive airway pressure. There was no incidence of pneumonia or wound dehiscence.

CONCLUSIONS

The cervical catheter tip location for ITB is safe, is effective to control tone, and should be considered for the treatment of hypertonia. Larger studies with longer follow-up are necessary to further determine upper-limit dosing safety along with long-term functional benefits in these patients.

Authors: Valluzzi Adelaide , El Refaee Ehab , Lehmann Sebastian , Schroeder Henry W. S.
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVE

The surgical anatomy of the nervus intermedius (NI) is highly variable. The aim of this study was to describe the anatomy of the NI during endoscope-assisted microvascular decompression (MVD) in hemifacial spasm (HFS), and the involvement of the nerve in the vascular conflict.

METHODS

The authors reviewed a prospectively maintained database for MVDs performed between 2002 and 2022 and extracted clinical data including patient demographics, symptoms, and offending vessel(s). Operative videos and photographs were analyzed retrospectively in an attempt to identify the NI.

RESULTS

Endoscopic identification of the NI was possible in 139 of 435 MVDs. The anatomy is very variable. In 79 (56.8%) patients, a single-bundle pattern was detected, whereas a multiple-bundle pattern was identified in 60 (43.2%) patients. Overall the most common pattern was a single-bundle type A (49.7%). In 20.1%, a multiple-bundles type A was identified. In 4.3%, a single-bundle type B was detected. In 2.9% a single-bundle type C was found, and in just 0.7% a multiple-bundles type C was detected. A multiple-origin pattern (type D) was found in 31 patients (22.3%). The NI was frequently involved in the neurovascular conflict (approximately 85%). The type of NI or vascular compression pattern did not affect the results regarding the outcome or recurrence of HFS.

CONCLUSIONS

The anatomy of the NI is for the first time evaluated endoscopically in MVD for HFS. The nerve had various anatomical patterns that were clearly identified. Further studies to evaluate the compression patterns in relation to NI neuralgia are warranted.

Population administration is an important issue for a country. This is because residents and citizens are essential elements of a country. Furthermore, based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia's population in 2023 is projected to be 278.8 million people, of course this large number demands that population administration be carried out properly and correctly. In line with the concept of the rule of law and the principles of good governance. Based on this, a legal problem arises, related to how the orderly implementation of population administration is linked to the concept of the rule of law and how the principles of good governance can provide services to the public related to the orderly implementation of population administration. Population administration is a series of structuring and controlling activities in the publication of population documents and data through population registration, civil registration, management of population administration information and utilization of the results for public services and development of other sectors. In essence, the state is obliged to provide protection and recognition for the determination of personal status and legal status for every Population Event and Important Event experienced by residents inside or outside the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. For the state, the importance of population documents is aimed at accessing public services. , Development planning, and Legal allocation

Published: June 2024

This research aims to delves into the survival strategies of Islam Garassik adherents within the diverse context of Tana Toraja society in South Sulawesi. Islam Garassik is not only a subculture in Torajan culture, but also a double minority group. They are not only a minority within the mainstream of Torajan culture but also within the Islamic community itself. This qualitative research employs an interpretative phenomenological approach within Tana Toraja Regency, specifically in Gandangbatu Sillanan Sub-district. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research results show that Islam Garassik is an emerging form of Muslim religiosity in Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi, particularly in Lembang Garassik and Gandangbatu Sillanan sub-districts. This phenomenon combines Islamic teachings with local values, showing Islamic syncretism that is friendly to local traditions. Garassik Islam was born out of interactions with Bugis merchants in Mebali, a traditional market, and was influenced by the long and intense history of struggle between religious and cultural institutions in South Sulawesi. As a multiple minority group, Garassik Islam adherents face social exclusion that pushes them to defend their existential identity and values, including religious understanding and ritual practices. In their defense strategy, they negotiate their identity by integrating religious values and traditions, using Sufistic narratives, and interacting with other Muslim groups. This strategy allows them to maintain their religious identity and cultural diversity, establish harmonious relations with the surrounding community, and provide space for the growth of Islam in the rich cultural context of Tana Toraja.
GOOD GOVERNANCE FOR ZAKAH, INFĀQ, AND ṢADAQAH (ZIS) COLLECTION WITHIN LOCAL COMMUNITIES:A CASE STUDY IN GORONTALO REGENCY
Authors: Ladiku Hamdan , Zaman Akhmad Roja Badrus
Published: June 2024

This study endeavors to present a comprehensive overview of how the implementation of Good Governance impacts the collection of zakat, infāq, and alms for local communities. Qualitative descriptive research methodology was employed, drawing insights from various regulatory frameworks and empirical evidence. The findings reveal several key points: Firstly, the presence of accommodating regulations serves as a legal framework for local institutions, coupled with tangible financial incentives that motivate effective collection of ZIS (zakat, infāq, ṣadaqah). Secondly, the upsurge in zakat, infāq, and alms collection is not solely reliant on spiritual enlightenment but is significantly influenced by regulatory frameworks that stimulate the optimization of local institutions. Lastly, to ensure the efficacy of the collection process, the government undertakes collaborative evaluations involving stakeholders such as the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), academicians, Ma’had Jāmi’ah, and the Zakat Empowerment Team. These findings underscore the importance of formulating progressive policies geared towards enhancing the collection of zakat, infāq, and alms, providing valuable insights for policymakers
SYNCRETISM OF ISLAM AND LOCAL CULTURE IN THE MAKKULIWA LOPI RITUAL IN SABANG SUBIK POLEWALI MANDAR
Authors: Muliadi Muliadi , Wahyudi AR Nirwan , Bin Mahsyar Ahmad Dhiyaul Haq
Published: June 2024

This article presents the research findings from a qualitative phenomenological approach on the syncretism of Islam and local culture in the makkuliwa lopi ritual in Sabang Subik Polewali Mandar. The syncretism of religion and local culture in the makkuliwa lopi ritual is manifested in two processes. First, the syncretization of motives, goals, or intentions. For example, the fishermen's habit of serving traditional food was originally related to ceremonies for the worship of supernatural beings. This habit is maintained without undergoing physical changes, but a shift in orientation towards worship of Allah SWT. In this case, there is a syncretization of the motives/goals/intentions of the makkuliwa lopi ritual. Second, the syncretization of the makkuliwa lopi ritual process. This process involves aligning traditional ritual elements with Islamic norms or sharia. Islam influences the adaptation of prayers or mantras, the actors involved in the rituals, as well as a series of makkuliwa lopi rituals which are syncretized according to Islamic principles. The makkuliwa lopi ritual in Sabang Subik Polewali Mandar has a positive impact in the socio-religious dimension which, among other things, can be observed from the community's moderate religious attitude, close social cohesion, and the potential it offers for the economic development of the people. Thus, the ritual acts as a catalyst for positive growth in various aspects of local community life.

Published: June 2024

Implementing religious moderation in Islamic educational institutions, such as pesantren, has received important attention and massive efforts to strengthen moderate religious understanding in a multicultural society. This paper aims to analyze the implementation of religious moderation in pesantren in East Kalimantan. This paper is a qualitative research on pesantrens in East Kalimantan supplemented by relevant secondary sources. This paper reveals that the strategic steps taken by several pesantren in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, in implementing religious moderation are in the form of designing and implementing policies from pesantren leaders that support the creation of moderate attitudes and perspectives in the pesantren environment. These policies include instilling an understanding of religious moderation during the debriefing and introduction of new santri, doctrinalization at the graduation ceremony of santri, recruitment of strict and selective teaching staff, management of the pesantren unit curriculum that integrates religious moderation, determination of reference books for learning following the theology of ahlusunah waljamaah, strengthening value education and rules through a special curriculum, and others. This paper proves that the implementation of religious moderation in pesantren in East Kalimantan is not only through formal pesantren curricula but also through special pesantren curricula. Implementing religious moderation in pesantren in East Kalimantan requires policies of pesantren leaders that support the creation of moderate religious attitudes and perspectives in the environment. Thus, implementing religious moderation in pesantren in East Kalimantan cannot be separated from the curriculum and pesantren system.

Generalisasi merupakan ciri siswa dapat berpikir matematis. Guru dapat mengembangkan bahan ajar berbentuk buku teks untuk memfasilitasi kemampuan generalisasi. Penelitian ini merupakan hasil pengembangan model ADDIE yaitu tahap penerapan dan evaluasi, dengan produk berupa buku teks matematika kelas VIII semester genap yang berorientasi pada kemampuan generalisasi matematis siswa. Buku teks dengan pendekatan Pendidikan Matematika Realistik (RME) ini memuat lima prinsip meliputi eksplorasi fenomenologi, menjembatani dengan instrumen vertikal, kontruksi dan produksi siswa, interaktivitas, dan keterkaitan. Melalui alur kegiatan pemberian lebih dari satu konteks permasalahan, identifikasi kesamaan pola atau strategi hingga penarikan kesimpulan terkait materi, serta pemberian latihan soal pemodelan, buku teks ini telah memfasilitasi kemampuan generalisasi matematis. Berdasarkan hasil penerapan buku teks yang melibatkan 30 siswa kelas VIII salah satu SMP Negeri di Yogyakarta, persentase banyaknya siswa pada kategori good memenuhi batas minimal 75% yaitu mencapai 93,33%.
Generalization is a feature that students can think mathematically. Teachers can develop teaching materials in the form of textbooks to facilitate generalization abilities. This study was the developmental stage of ADDIE model, namely the implementation and evaluation. The study produced a textbook for 8th grade even semester which was oriented to students' mathematical generalization skills. The textbook integrating a realistic mathematics education approach contained five principles including phenomenological exploration, bridging by vertical instruments, pupils’ own constructions and productions, interactivity, and intertwining. The flow of activities provided more than one problem context, identifying similarities in patterns or strategies to draw conclusions related to the material as well as modeling exercises to facilitate students' mathematical generalization abilities. Based on the results of textbook implementation involving 30 8th grade students from one of a state junior high school in Yogyakarta, the percentage of students in good category met the minimum point of 75%, which reached 93.33%.

Published: June 2024

Kajian ini bermaksud untuk mendeskripsikan jenis representasi matematis siswa berdasarkan gaya kognitif dalam menyelesaikan masalah integral setelah diberikan pembelajaran strategi konflik kognitif. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksploratif dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif. Subjek penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Matematika Universitas Halu Oleo angkatan tahun 2021 yang terdiri dari satu mahasiswa dengan gaya kognitif reflektif and satu mahasiswa dengan gaya kognitif impulsif. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui teknik pemberian tes and wawancara, and dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah siswa yang memiliki gaya kognitif reflektif dalam menyelesaikan masalah integral setelah diajarkan strategi konflik kognitif adalah melakukan representasi gambar atau representasi geometri, representasi verbal and representasi simbolik, serta melakukan penerjemahan dari berbagai jenis representasi, yaitu dari representasi geometri ke representasi verbal, and kemudian ke representasi simbolik serta sebaliknya. Seandgkan, siswa dengan gaya kognitif impulsif melakukaan representasi simbolik, melakukan representasi geometrik tetapi salah, tidak melakukan representasi verbal, tidak melakukan representasi matematis, and tidak melakukan penerjemahan dari berbagai jenis representasi.
This study aimed to describe types of students' mathematical representations based on the cognitive style in solving integral problems after learning cognitive conflict strategies. This exploratory research used a descriptive-qualitative approach. The participants were two students of Mathematics Education Department at Halu Oleo Universit,  class of 202, consisting of one student with a reflective cognitive style and one student with an impulsive cognitive style. The research data were obtained through tests and interviews and analyzed qualitatively. The findings pointed out that the student with a reflective cognitive style performed images or geometric representations, verbal representations, and symbolic representations, as well as translated various types of representations, starting from geometric representations to verbal representations, and then to symbolic representation and vice versa. Meanwhile, the student with an impulsive cognitive style performed symbolic representations, inaccurate geometric representations, but lacked verbal representations, mathematical representations, and translation of various types of representation.

It can be concluded that the comparison level at the SMA level is the higher than at the SD, SMP, SMA and PT levels.
Renunciation of Appeal by the Defender of the Bond of the Appellate Tribunal (Canon 1636 § 2)
Authors: Rozkrut Tomasz
Published: June 2024

The article addresses the renunciation of appeal of the defender of the bond of the appellate tribunal that was brought by the defender of the bond at the court of first instance. This issue is being discussed owing to the marriage process reform implemented in 2015. That problematic aspect must always be considered with the unique nature of canonical marriage process in mind and responsibility for the decisions made. Also, consideration must be given to the social dimension of the ruling handed down by the Church, which is expected to reflect the truth of the appealed marriage. There is no doubt that the renunciation of the appeal by the defender of the bond of the appellate tribunal, brought by the respective defender of the court of first instance seems exceptional in the light of historical, legal and doctrine’s arguments presented in this article and can by no means lead to injustice in the Church judiciary, particularly with regard to matrimonial cases. It goes without saying that it is the defender of the bond at the court of first instance who knows the case from its very beginning, follows its course and presents his remarks, including his option to bring an appeal to the ecclesiastical court of second instance. For that reason, such an appeal should be treated with utmost responsibility. Arguments adduced here are derived from the current legislation, the teaching of the Roman pontiffs, and the position of the canonical doctrine all indicate that the rejection of appeal by the appellate tribunal’s defender of the bond, brought by the corresponding defender of first instance, should be an extraordinary measure that is very well justified. Despite the said legal option, the article makes a case for not using the canonical norm in ecclesiastical judicial practice, mainly because it was promulgated at the time when there was an obligation to hand down two affirmative sentences for a new marriage to be contracted in the Church. That situation changed after 2015, hence the postulate to amend Canon 1636 § 2.
