Tehničke mogućnosti zaštite visokih voćaka
Authors: Poje Tomaž
Published: September 2021

Aplikacija sredstava za zaštitu bilja na visoke voćke vrlo je zahtjevan rad, kod kojeg često dolazi i do velikog gubitka škropiva. U radu su prikazani strojevi koji se najčešće upotrebljavaju za zaštitu oraha i drugih visokih voćaka. Za visoke voćke aksijalni raspršivač mora imati crpku s većim protokom i ventilator većeg promjera, da škropivo dođe na pravo mjesto. Na području zaštite visokih voćaka na njemačkoj listi strojeva s redukcijom gubitaka škropiva nalaze se samo četiri raspršivača. Za zaštitu visokih voćaka upotrebljavaju se i raspršivači s usmjerivačkim topom, pa i leđni motorni raspršivači.
The role and potential of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in early childhood education in South Africa: A theoretical perspective
Authors: Costa King , Ntsobi Mfanelo Patrick , Nyamkure Blondel
Published: September 2021

This paper discusses the role of ICT in early childhood education in South Africa. It gives a reflection of the best practice alongside the current local status of ICT in Education. The study adopted a qualitative research method leaning more towards the interpretivist research paradigm. Desktop literature review was conducted in order to have a feel of the nature of ICT, looking at the Global, Continental (Africa) and local context. The research encompasses literature on both children and educator’s use of ICT in early childhood education and elaborates on the role of ICT with regards to teaching and learning and professional development. Key findings were that, through the adoption and proper usage of ICT, great value is added to the learning and teaching process. The study found that instead of being passive assimilators of information, learners become more engaged not only in recollection and understanding but also in application, evaluation and creation during the learning process. In order to optimise the impact of ICT in early childhood education in South Africa, the research recommended: the deployment of more ICT infrastructural resources in public primary schools, the need to train all role players on the usage of ICT, prioritisation of ICT in strategy formulation and budget allocations, introduction of learners to basic ICT skills in the lower classes, comprehensive repair and maintenance of the ICT equipment for optimal functioning, shifting focus from learner performance to capacity development, a phased approach comprised of appropriate interim targets, needs analysis have to be conducted and the measurement of progress to assess if objectives are met and taking corrective measures where deviations are experienced.

Authors: Yungmeister Dmitrii , Yacheykin Aleksei
Published: September 2021

The article discusses the features of running tunnels in difficult mining and geological conditions of the Saint Petersburg Metrostroy using modern tunnel boring shields of Herrenknecht company with hybrid executive bodies equipped with a incisors and rock cutters. The work of a hybrid executive body is analyzed when driving along a heterogeneous bottomhole massif consisting of Cambrian clay with limestone interlayers. Theoretical and experimental studies of vibroactive cones, a graphical representation of the dependence of the depth of their penetration on the axial force and axial force together with the applied shock load (the dependences of the penetration depth are interpreted as a linear dependence) have been carried out. An increase in the intensity of destruction of a heterogeneous bottomhole massif consisting of Cambrian clay and limestone interlayers using vibroactive rock-cutting tools (spiked roller) was theoretically and experimentally confirmed, while the growth of the penetration rate is determined depending on the number of their parameters. The design is considered, the principle of operation and the method of power calculation of a rotary executive body equipped with vibroactive cutters are described, on the basis of which a nomogram of the dependence of the torque and performance of the tunnel boring shield on the feed rate of the executive body to the bottom is built.

أثر التغير المناخي في انتشار آفتي الدوباس والحميرة على أشجار النخيل في محافظات الفرات الأوسط
Authors: Al-Jubouri Hana Saleh Attia , Al-Sabhany Khamis Daham Muslih
Published: September 2021

يهدف هذا البحث إلى أولا تحليل جغرافي لأعداد اشجار النخيل وانتاجيتها وافتي الدوباس والحميرة التي تصيبها، واستخراج مقدار التغير في العناصر المناخية في منطقة الدراسة وأخيرا استكشاف العلاقة السببية والإحصائية بين التغير في العناصر المناخية والآفات التي تصيب أشجار النخيل. من أجل اكمال هدفنا أعلاه قمنا بجمع وتحليل بيانات أعداد النخيل وإنتاجية التمور والمساحات المصابة بآفتي الدوباس والحميرة والبيانات المناخية. توصل البحث إلى أن الظروف المناخية كمعدلات عامة ملائمة بشكل مثالي لنمو أشجار النخيل وإنتاج التمور، إلا أن التغيرات طويلة المدى في قيم العناصر المناخية ولاسيما درجات الحرارة والرطوبة النسبية فضلا عن تطرفاتها أسهمت في ايجاد بيئة حاضنة مثالية لانتشار أفتي الدوباس والحميرة في منطقة الدراسة. كانت أكثر المحافظات تأثرا بالتغيرات المناخية التي أسهمت في انتشار آفات النخيل هي الديوانية والنجف وكربلاء أما أقلها تأثرا فهي محافظة السماوة. كما تبين أن عدم الاهتمام بأشجار النخيل وعدم وجود إدارة متكاملة لمكافحة الآفات التي تصيب النخيل أسهم في انتشارها بشكل واسع، مما أدى بشكل تراكمي إلى تقليص أعداد أشجار النخيل في محافظات الفرات الأوسط.
آثر التجوية الملــحية على الابنية العمرانية في مدينة بلدروز
Authors: Abd Yasser Mohamed
Published: September 2021

تعاني العديد من الأبنية العمرانية في مدينة بلدروز من تأثير التجوية الملحية التي تنشط بشكل كبير، بسبب توافر الظروف الملائمة لذلك من: رطوبة ،وامطار، وارتفاع في درجات الحرارة ،ونسب التبخر، والتي تعمل سويا على نشاط التجوية الملحية، فبعد تبخر الرطوبة التي اكتسبتها جدران المباني من الأمطار والرطوبة الجوية تأخذ الأملاح بالتبلور فيها، ثم  تبدأ عملية التجوية بالظهور على شكل بقع مائلة الى البياض في جدران المباني، وتتطور لتصبح على شكل رقائق ملحية، بعدها تأخذ الجدران بالتقشر ودفع المواد الأسمنتية التي تغطي تلك الجدران والتي تعرف بـ(اللبخ)، وتتآكل شيئا فشيئا بعد أن يزداد تبلور الأملاح بشكل اكبر الى أن تتحطم وتنهار اجزاء كبيرة من مواد البناء لتلك المباني حتى تصبح جدرانها مشوهة، ولن تتوقف عملية التجوية الملحية في الجدران مادامت الظروف مهيئة لذلك، إذ لا تقتصر على تقشير الجدران وإزالة المواد الإسمنتية (اللبخ) الذي تغطيها فحسب، بل تستمر بنشاطها مؤدية الى تأكل الطابوق الذي بنيت به تلك الجدران، وخاصة التي استعمل في تشييدها مادة الطابوق التي انتجت في معامل طابوق بلدروز, والتي تعد من مواد البناء التي تحوي نسبة عالية من الملوحة، بسبب كون التربة التي يصنع منها الطابوق مالحة جدا، وهذا ما بينته نتائج تحليل نماذج من مواد بناء المباني المتأثرة بالتجوية الملحية، إذ انحصرت النتائج بين (25,2-78,3 dsm) والتي تعد نسبة عالية جدا حسب التصنيف الامريكي للترب المتأثرة بالملوحة، وتظهر جدران كثير من المباني في المدينة مشوهة، بسبب نشاط ظاهرة التجوية الملحية فيها.
Comparison between the Cauchy problem and the scattering problem for the Landau damping in the Vlasov-HMF equation
Authors: Benedetto Dario , Caglioti Emanuele , Rossi Stefano
Published: September 2021

We analyze the analytic Landau damping problem for the Vlasov-HMF equation, by fixing the asymptotic behavior of the solution. We use a new method for this “scattering problem”, closer to the one used for the Cauchy problem. In this way we are able to compare the two results, emphasizing the different influence of the plasma echoes in the two approaches. In particular, we prove a non-perturbative result for the scattering problem.
The three dimensional Maxwell equations with strongly anisotropic electric permittivity
Authors: Bostan Mihaï
Published: September 2021

The subject matter of this work concerns the propagation of the electro-magnetic fields through strongly anisotropic media, in the three dimensional setting. We concentrate on the asymptotic behavior for the solutions of the Maxwell equations when the electric permittivity tensor is strongly anisotropic. We derive limit models and prove their well-posedness. We appeal to the variational framework and study the propagation speed of the solutions. We prove that almost all the electro-magnetic energy concentrates inside the propagation cone of the limit model.
Virtual Reality Experience Intervention May Reduce Responsive Behaviors in Nursing Home Residents with Dementia: A Case Series
Authors: Sultana Munira , Campbell Karen , Jennings Morgan , Montero-Odasso Manuel , Orange J.B. , Knowlton Jill , St. George Armin , Bryant Dianne
Published: September 2021

Background: People with advanced dementia often exhibit responsive behaviors such as apathy, depression, agitation, aggression, and psychosis. Non-pharmacological approaches (e.g., listening to music, watching television, doing arts and crafts) are now considered as a first-line strategy to manage responsive behaviors in clinical practice due to the potential risks associated with the antipsychotic medications. To date, no evaluations of immersive non-head mounted virtual reality (VR) experience as a non-pharmacologic approach for people with advanced dementia living in nursing homes have been reported. Objective: To evaluate the feasibility (acceptance and safety) of VR experience. Methods: A single site case series (nonrandomized and unblinded) with a convenience sample (N = 24; age = 85.8±8.6 years; Cognitive Performance Scale score = 3.4±0.6) measuring depression and agitation before and after the intervention. The intervention was a 30-min long research coordinator– facilitated VR experience for two weeks (10 sessions). Results: The intervention was feasible (attrition rate = 0% ; adverse events = 0). A reduction in depression and in agitation was observed after the intervention. However, we suggest extreme caution in interpreting this result considering the study design and small sample size. Conclusion: This study provides the basis for conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of VR experience on responsive behaviors in nursing homes. Since our intervention uses a smart remote-controlled projector without a headset, infectious exposure can be avoided following the COVID-19 pandemic-induced physical distancing policy in care homes.

Authors: Russin Kate J. , Nair K. Sreekumaran , Montine Thomas J. , Baker Laura D. , Craft Suzanne
Published: September 2021

Background: Exploration of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amino acids and the impact of dietary intake on central levels may provide a comprehensive understanding of the metabolic component of Alzheimer’s disease. Objective: The objective of this exploratory study was to investigate the effects of two diets with varied nutrient compositions on change in CSF amino acids levels in adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and normal cognition (NC). Secondary objectives were to assess the correlations between the change in CSF amino acids and change in Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers. Methods: In a randomized, parallel, controlled feeding trial, adults (NC, n = 20; MCI, n = 29) consumed a high saturated fat (SFA)/glycemic index (GI) diet [HIGH] or a low SFA/GI diet [LOW] for 4 weeks. Lumbar punctures were performed at baseline and 4 weeks. Results: CSF valine increased and arginine decreased after the HIGH compared to the LOW diet in MCI (ps = 0.03 and 0.04). This pattern was more prominent in MCI versus NC (diet by diagnosis interaction ps = 0.05 and 0.09), as was an increase in isoleucine after the HIGH diet (p = 0.05). Changes in CSF amino acids were correlated with changes in Alzheimer’s disease CSF biomarkers Aβ42, total tau, and p-Tau 181, with distinct patterns in the relationships by diet intervention and cognitive status. Conclusion: Dietary intake affects CSF amino acid levels and the response to diet is differentially affected by cognitive status.

Published: September 2021

Background: Many issues persist in the today’s Alzheimer’s disease (AD) screening and the breakthrough method is desired. Objective: We aim to validate the association between venous reflux and AD, and to develop a new method for AD screening. Methods: We examined spontaneous echo contrast, area, diameter, retrograde velocity, and anterograde velocity of the bilateral cervical internal jugular vein (IJV) using carotid ultrasonography. Results: A total of 112 patients participated in this study, with 26 diagnosed as AD. The proportion of both or either IJV spontaneous echo contrast (+) occupied 25 of total 26 AD patients, which showed 96.2%of sensitivity and 98.5%negative predictive value. The IJV velocities also showed significant correlation with AD diagnosis, although the IJV area or diameter did not. Conclusion: Our results indicate that the validation of the spontaneous echo contrast or velocities of the IJV are convenient AD diagnosis screening methods and that the venous reflux disturbance correlates with AD development.

Published: September 2021

Background: Tea and coffee consumption is associated with cognitive function in some studies. Objective: We aimed to identify tea and coffee drinking patterns and their association with mean reaction time among Qatari adults. Method: The study included 1,000 adults aged 20 years and above attending the Qatar Biobank Study (QBB). Habitual tea and coffee consumption during the previous year was assessed by questionnaire. Tea and coffee drinking patterns were identified using factor analysis. In a computer-based self-administered touch screens test, mean reaction time (MRT) was used as an indicator of cognitive function. Results: The mean age of the participants was 35.8 (SD 10.3) years. Herbal tea and regular coffee consumption was inversely associated with MRT. In the multivariable model, compared with non-consumers, the regression coefficients for MRT were –34.3 (–65.4, –3.3) and –37.9 (–71.0, –4.7) for daily consumers of herbal tea and regular coffee, respectively. Of the two tea and coffee drinking patterns identified, pattern 1 (high consumption of tea, Arabic coffee, and herbal tea) was not associated with MRT but pattern 2 (high loadings of instant coffee, regular coffee, and Karak) was inversely associated with MRT in the unadjusted model. There was a significant interaction between pattern 2 and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in relation to MRT. Pattern 2 was inversely associated with MRT among those with a low LDL. Conclusion: There was an inverse association between regular coffee and herbal tea consumption with mean reaction time. There was an interaction between Western coffee pattern and LDL.
Control-oriented modeling for the electrodynamic levitation with permanent magnet Halbach array
Authors: Hu Yongpan , Long Zhiqiang , Xu Yunsong , Wang Zhiqiang
Published: September 2021

Poor stability of the permanent magnet electrodynamic levitation hinders its application in the maglev field. Therefore, building a control-oriented model to improve its stability is most challenging. However, intractable electromagnetic models leading to an implicit relationship between levitation force and gap, yields a barrier for model-based controller design. To solve the above-mentioned problem, this paper develops a control-oriented model by two stages. Specifically, the first stage is to show an explicit formula of the levitation force with regard to the levitation gap by neglecting end effect; meanwhile the “maximum–minimum rectification” method is put forward to evaluating an accurate levitation force. The second stage is to bring forth the control-oriented model on basis of the estimated levitation force. Although the paper focus mainly on the development of the control-oriented model, an example of PD controller is provided to verify its validation. Experiment results demonstrate the estimated levitation force is highly consistent with the real one. Simulation results show that the control-oriented model is sufficiently reliable. The research bridges the gap between the physical model and the model-based controller for the electrodynamic levitation with permanent magnet Halbach array.
A further investigation on q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein aggregation operators
Authors: Du Wen Sheng
Published: September 2021

Aggregation of q-rung orthopair fuzzy information serves as an important branch of the q-rung orthopair fuzzy set theory, where operations on q-rung orthopair fuzzy values (q-ROFVs) play a crucial role. Recently, aggregation operators on q-ROFVs were established by employing the Einstein operations rather than the algebraic operations. In this paper, we give a further investigation on operations and aggregation operators for q-ROFVs based on the Einstein operational laws. We present the operational principles of Einstein operations over q-ROFVs and compare them with those built on the algebraic operations. The properties of the q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (q-ROFEWA) operator and q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein weighted geometric (q-ROFEWG) operator are investigated in detail, such as idempotency, monotonicity, boundedness, shift-invariance and homogeneity. Then, the developed operators are applied to multiattribute decision making problems under the q-rung orthopair fuzzy environment. Finally, an example for selecting the design scheme for a blockchain-based agricultural product traceability system is presented to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Authors: Thieken Franziska , Timmermann Lars , Sohrabi Keywan , Woopen Christiane , Schmitz-Luhn Björn , Janhsen Anna , Eggers Carsten
Published: September 2021

Background: Parkinsonian syndromes are heterogeneous chronic neurodegenerative disorders associated with both motor and non-motor symptoms. The symptoms have major psychosocial effects on the quality of life of patients and can be a burden for caregivers. So far, several questionnaires have been developed to assess quality of life in Parkinsonism, but none of these include the positive sides on well-being such as personal and social resilience factors. Objective: The aim of this study is to develop a digital framework for a longitudinal assessment of quality of life during the progression of Parkinson’s disease. Methods: The CHAPO model (Challenges and Potentials) has been established in a vast study by Wagner et al. to assess the quality of life of older people. This model includes environmental and individual factors, life chances, and life results, such as individual life evaluation, from a subjective as well as an objective point of view. Therefore, it has been adapted in several development steps to include the specific aspects that affect quality of life in Parkinsonian syndromes. The development process included 6 steps: definition, refinement, operationalization, piloting/debriefing, adjustment, and integration. Results: The development of the CHAPO-PD model has been completed and it represents the first main result of this study. Conclusion: By taking a holistic understanding of quality of life into account, we expect to detect previously unrecognized factors, which correlate to the subjective well-being of Parkinson’s disease patients, and aim to use these findings to improve the health care structures for patients with Parkinson’s disease and related disorders.

Background: Postoperative outcome following deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus is variable, particularly with respect to axial motor improvement. We hypothesized a genetic underpinning to the response to surgical intervention, termed “surgicogenomics”. Objective: We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with clinical heterogeneity in DBS outcome of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients that could then be applied clinically to target selection leading to improved surgical outcome. Methods: Retrospective clinical data was extracted from 150 patient’s charts. Each individual was genotyped using the genome-wide NeuroX array tailored to study neurologic diseases. Genetic data were clustered based on surgical outcome assessed by comparing pre- and post-operative scores of levodopa equivalent daily dose and axial impairment at one and five years post-surgery. Allele frequencies were compared between patients with excellent vs. moderate/poor outcomes grouped using a priori defined cut-offs. We analyzed common variants, burden of rare coding variants, and PD polygenic risk score. Results: NeuroX identified 2,917 polymorphic markers at 113 genes mapped to known PD loci. The gene-burden analyses of 202 rare nonsynonymous variants suggested a nominal association of axial impairment with 14 genes (most consistent with CRHR1, IP6K2, and PRSS3). The strongest association with surgical outcome was detected between a reduction in levodopa equivalent daily dose and common variations tagging two linkage disequilibrium blocks with SH3GL2. Conclusion: Once validated in independent populations, our findings may be implemented to improve patient selection for DBS in PD.

BACKGROUND: The sudden shift into distance learning during the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown might have impacted university students’ well-being. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate undergraduate healthcare university students’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and its predictors during COVID-19. METHODS: A cross-sectional study used an online self-administered questionnaire. The study targeted undergraduate medical, dental, pharmacy, and nursing students at Jordanian universities. Data collected included demographics,12-item Short Form health survey (SF-12), students’ evaluation of distance learning, Neck Disability Index (NDI), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS21), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Descriptive analyses were conducted to summarize primary outcome measures data. Predictors of HRQoL were determined using a multiple variable regression analysis. RESULTS: In total, 485 university students successfully completed this study with a mean age of 20.6 (±2.0). Participants’ HRQoL level measured by SF-12 mean scores were 66.5 (±20.2) for physical health component and 44.8 (±21.2) for mental health component. The regression model explained 65.5% of the variation (r2 = 0.655, F = 127.8, P < 0.001) in participants’ HRQoL. Factors significantly associated with HRQoL included depression, neck disability index score, stress, health self-evaluation, average of satisfaction with distance learning, IPAQ score, and weekly studying hours. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that healthcare students had a relatively low level of HRQoL during COVID-19 pandemic in Jordan. Academic and non-academic factors associated with HRQoL were identified and should be considered by healthcare educational institutions for better academic planning in future similar pandemics.
Alimentos ancestrales de La Araucanía

Published: September 2021

El presente trabajo es la recopilación de información sobre el aporte nutricional de alimentos naturales producidos en La Araucanía. Considerando que la mayor cantidad de población mapuche se concentra en la región de La Araucanía, la información de este trabajo es presentada en castellano y mapuzungun, con el firme propósito de que toda la comunidad pueda acceder a este recurso, y que les sea familiar, pertinente y de utilidad. La información aquí entregada pasa a formar parte del küme mogen (buen vivir), concepto mapuche que, en salud, considera un estado de relación horizontal hombre-naturaleza, en el cual, el conocimiento de lo que se come es fundamental, al igual que el respeto que se debe tener por la tradición alimenticia y los sistemas empleados para obtener los recursos, rozando muy de cerca con la soberanía alimentaria, concepto que se enfoca en que los pueblos tengan la capacidad de alimentarse con lo que les es propio. Desde un punto de vista nutricional, existe poco acceso a información que reúna el aporte, a la dieta, de los alimentos de temporada que son propios de cada zona, ya que las Guías Alimentarias y las Tablas de Composición de los alimentos, se basan en alimentos de acceso estándar a la mayoría de las personas de nuestro país. En este punto, muchas veces se deja de lado el componente identitario de una región, precisamente, al no considerar los alimentos consumidos por grupos específicos de la población. Es así como profesionales y estudiantes del área de la salud contarán con un insumo que les permitirá ajustar el consumo de determinados alimentos al estado de salud de las personas, al periodo del año en que estos alimentos están disponibles y a la cultura alimenticia propia de las personas y el entorno en que habitan.

El Protocolo de Palermo (2001), contempla tres supuestos básicos a través de los que puede producirse la trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación: mediante el uso de la fuerza, la coacción o el engaño. Las evidencias científicas muestran que los proxenetas combinan estrategias con el fin aprovecharse de las condiciones de vulnerabilidad de las víctimas y captarlas. En este sentido, en la última década han aumentado las investigaciones sobre los factores de riesgo para la trata y las vías de captación empleadas por explotadores y proxeneta. Una de las estrategias de sometimiento menos conocidas, consiste en la captación a través del engaño y el fraude en las relaciones afectivo-sexuales

Alliés indispensables des professionnels de la santé, les proches aidant∙e∙s représentent une ressource extrêmement précieuse pour assurer des soins de qualité. Considérant le nombre restreint de professionnels pour répondre à l’augmentation de la demande de soins et de soutien auprès de la population, le domaine Santé de la Haute Ecole Spécialisée de Suisse Occidentale (HES-SO) a mené durant quatre ans un programme de recherche « Pénurie de main-d’œuvre qualifiée dans les professions de la santé : place, intégration et soutien des proches aidants » (PePA). Cet ouvrage présente les résultats de ce programme. Les différentes études y soulignent le rôle crucial qu’occupent les proches aidant∙e·s et documentent leur situation de vie et leurs besoins. Illustrant l’engagement de la HES-SO en faveur de la reconnaissance de la valeur stratégique des proches aidant∙e∙s pour faire face aux défis à venir, ce livre présente des pistes pour les intégrer dans les soins formels et différentes mesures de soutien. Des politiques publiques ambitieuses sont essentielles pour permettre aux proches aidant∙e∙s d’exercer aux côtés des professionnels, tout en préservant leur santé.
Pediatric Liver Transplantation as Enzyme Replacement Therapy for Rare Metabolic Diseases with No Structural Liver Damage
Authors: Celik Neslihan , Emiroglu Remzi
Published: September 2021

Objective: Very rare monogenic metabolic diseases without structural liver damage can be cured by liver transplantation. This process is a surgical enzyme replacement therapy, and defective enzymes may or may not be confined to the liver. The aims of this single center study of children with metabolic diseases showing structurally normal liver parenchyma were to analyze the indications and post-operative outcomes of liver transplantation, identification of developmental and metabolic benefits of the procedure with recognition of peri-operative difficulties to improve the success rate.

Materials and Methods: Patients under the age of 19-year-old who underwent liver transplantation for metabolic disorders with no structural liver injury between January 2015 and June 2021 analyzed retrospectively. Patient and graft survivals, indications for transplantation, presence of extra-hepatic enzyme deficiency causing other organ damage, inclusion of simultaneous or sequential kidney transplantation, immunosuppressive protocols, post-transplant complications, and metabolic outcomes were identified.

Results: Eight children with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (n = 4), Maple syrup urine disease (n = 1), Crigler-Najjar syndrome type 1 (n=1), familial hypercholesterolemia (n=1) and propionic acidemia (n = 1) received left lobe (n=6) and left lateral segment (2) allografts from living donors. The median age of 4 girls and 4 boys at time of transplantation was 6.8 years (range 2.2-12.7 years). The median follow-up time was 3.3 years (range 1.5-5.7 years). The most common post-transplant complications were biliary system complications and infections and, two patients died because of sepsis. Six patients are alive with normal functioning allografts and metabolically stable on unrestricted diet.

Conclusion: Liver transplantation is a lifesaving treatment and improves patient’s and parent’s life quality for metabolic disorders with no parenchymal injury despite strict dietary restrictions and medical therapies. Especially, living donor liver transplantation is very important for populations with very low organ donation rates.
HIGH RESOLUTION COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN THE EVALUATION OF TEMPORAL BONE PATHOLOGY
Authors: Jat Hari Ram , Daswani Sheena , Sheldon Mark , Patel Neel
Published: September 2021

Introduction: The temporal bone is a complex anatomic structure that contains the organs of hearing and balance and has direct contact with brainstem, cerebellum and temporal lobe of brain. Radiographic assessment of temporal bone is difficult owing to complicated anatomical structure of middle and inner ear. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) - a modification of routine CT produces images with higher contrast and a better spatial resolution. HRCT has the advantage of topographic visualization, devoid of artifacts from superimposition of structures. It provides information not only about bony outline but also soft tissue changes making it possible for the accurate assessment of pathology prior to surgical exploration regarding location, extent and complication of the disease.
Material and methods: This was a cross sectional study of 50 patients who were clinically suspected of having symptoms related to the temporal bone like hearing loss, otorrhea, otalgia, tinnitus, vertigo, ear bleed, cranial nerve palsies, fever, ataxia etc were referred and subjected to HRCT of the temporal bone at Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital (Udaipur) between Nov 2017 and June 2019.
Results: CSOM and Cholesteatoma were the most common diseases found by HRCT and Intra-op/Follow-up scan followed by Fractures, acoustic neuroma, Glomus tympanicum and Atretic EAC. Almost all the lesions were correctly detected by HRCT when confirmed with Intra-op/follow up findings.
Conclusion: HRCT can very accurately detect Temporal bone pathology.
