Reducing door-to-balloon time in STEMI patients through instant messaging: An empirical study during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Yang Yi-Chun , Liu Chih-Tsung , Wu Bao-Tzung
Published: December 2024

Background:

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred treatment for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Guidelines recommend maintaining the door-to-balloon time (DTBT) within 90 min to improve treatment outcomes and minimize complications. However, the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has posed additional challenges for the healthcare systems.

Objectives:

This study aims to evaluate the impact of the LINE instant messaging system on DTBT in STEMI patients, focusing on its role in improving communication between emergency department physicians and catheterization lab personnel.

Methods:

This retrospective study analyzed data from STEMI patients hospitalized in a regional hospital in central Taiwan. Patients were categorized into a control group (2020–2021, standard care) and an experimental group (2022–2023, care enhanced with LINE instant messaging). Medical records were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.

Results:

A total of 269 STEMI patients were included (experimental group: 129 and control group: 140). The proportion of patients achieving door-to-electrocardiogram time (DTET) ≤10 min was similar in the two groups (experimental: 92.2% and control: 93.6%; P = 0.674). Similarly, there was no significant difference in DTBT ≤90 min (experimental: 78.9% and control: 78.6%; P = 0.956) or discharge outcomes (experimental: 3.1% and control: 2.1%; P = 0.624).

Conclusion:

DTBT ≤90 min was positively correlated with DTET ≤10 min (r = 0.244, P < 0.01) and door-to-catheter room time (DTCT; r = 0.461, P < 0.01). The use of LINE instant messaging streamlined emergency room communication and reduced inefficiencies, but uncontrollable factors during the pandemic continued to affect PCI times. This study highlights the potential of instant messaging to improve DTBT in STEMI patients.

Authors: Shrivastava Saurabh RamBihariLal , Marar Anup Mukund , Bobhate Prateek Sudhakar
Published: December 2024

Medical students during their period of training are exposed to lots of stress owing to the pressure of academics, adaptation to new living conditions, and peer-related factors. Mindfulness refers to conscious efforts to encourage healthcare professionals, including medical students to live in the current moment, without being concerned about the events in the past or the future. Training of students in mindfulness methods is expected to play a defining role in reducing stress among them, which will in turn aid in promoting their overall well-being. Even though training of medical students in mindfulness has been recognized as the need of the hour and has multiple merits for the students, patients, and healthcare delivery services, there have been some challenges in its successful implementation in any medical institution. In conclusion, training medical students in mindfulness methods is expected to promote personal well-being and the development of vital professional attributes. However, as the process of implementation in medical institutions might be accompanied by different challenges, it is the need of the hour to integrate mindfulness initiatives within the existing curriculum and support the same with faculty training and administrative support.

Authors: Barinaga Sigrid Aguirre , Alcantara-Boquiren Marie Janice
Published: December 2024

Asherman’s syndrome is a global disease with a significant impact on the reproductive career among women. Its exact prevalence is quite difficult to ascertain as there are different methods to diagnose and several classifications being used. Its increasing incidence has been credited to a great number of uterine surgeries and improved accuracy of imaging studies. The clinical manifestations of this condition range from secondary amenorrhea, hypomenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, infertility, and recurrent pregnancy loss. Hysteroscopy played an important role in its diagnosis and management.

Authors: Cantor Margarita Romulo , Umipig-Guevara Zoraida R. , Aquino-Aquino Prudence V. , Baltazar Maria Rica Arandia
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:

Simulated video training has emerged as an effective method to enhance the surgical skills. However, in the local context, there is an absence of data contrasting the outcomes of unsupervised video training with the conventional supervised approach in surgical skill development.

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this study was to evaluate and contrast the performance score and total operating time between unsupervised video training simulations and supervised video training simulations, specifically in the domain of 30° hysteroscopic camera navigation.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A single-blinded randomized controlled trial involved 24 obstetrics and gynecology residents in a tertiary government institution. Participants were randomized into Group A (unsupervised video training) and Group B (proctor-supervised simulation training). Utilizing a uterine model, both groups undertook nine designated tasks. The training process included a pretest simulation, 5 training repetitions, and a concluding posttest simulation. The principal investigator documented operating times and hand movements posteach session. Subsequently, a blinded Philippine Society for Gynecologic Endoscopy board-certified gynecologic endoscopist assessed these videos, using the Global Hysteroscopy Rating Scale for scoring.

RESULTS:

The total operating time and performance score during posttest among Group A and Group B showed no significant difference (Group A 0.77 ± 0.19 min Group B 0.71 ± 0.15 min) (P = 0.377) (Group A 13.50 ± 1.73 Group B 13.83 ± 1.53) (P = 0.622) which suggest that participants performed comparably regardless of instructional method. On the Global Rating Scale (GRS) score, higher percentage of participants from Group B showed improved performance on respect for tissue, time and motion, and handling of hysteroscope as compared to Group A.

CONCLUSION:

The video-based training simulation is effective as expert proctoring in hysteroscopic camera navigation. However, there was slightly greater improvement in the GRS scores in the proctor supervised group which suggest that feedback from proctors has a positive impact on the performance.

Authors: Batailde Gaël , Ginderachter Alicia V. , Eijgen Jan V. , Sunaric-Mégevand Gordana , Stalmans Ingeborg , Lemmens Sophie
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this article is to review the existing literature on the efficacy and safety of ab externo viscocanalostomy (VCS) and canaloplasty (CP) in glaucoma patients. A literature search was conducted, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 Statement Criteria, in Medline (via PubMed), Embase (Ovid), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) and Cochrane Library (Cochrane). Wherever possible, level of evidence has been assessed by means of the oxford center for evidence-based medicine level of evidence classification. Twenty-nine articles were included providing data for 2790 subjects. The mean preoperative medicated intraocular pressure (IOP) was 25.06 ± 5.29 mmHg in the CP group and 36.22 ± 11.20 mmHg in the VCS group. The mean postoperative IOP was 14.98 ± 1.28 mmHg in the CP group and 15.17 ± 1.34 mmHg in the VCS group at 36 months of follow-up. CP and VCS showed a mean IOP reduction from baseline of 40.21% and 58.12%, respectively, and medication reduction of 72.37% and 81.01%, respectively, after 36 months of follow-up. Perforation of the trabeculo-descemetic membrane was reported in 5.39% (CP group) and in 8.24% (VCS group) of cases (micro) hyphema was the most reported postoperative complication. CP and VCS significantly reduce IOP and medication use. The incidence of complications seen in filtration surgery is minimized by these nonpenetrating and bleb-independent approaches. With its efficacy and high safety profile, Schlemm’s canal surgery is a valuable alternative to penetrating glaucoma filtration surgery.

Authors: Brotons-Muñoz Elena , Ventura-Abreu Néstor , Muniesa María J. , Millá Elena , Torras-Sanvicens Josep , Pazos Marta
Published: December 2024

PURPOSE:

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) following corneal transplantation (CT) presents a significant risk for graft failure and visual impairment. This retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate the outcomes of different glaucoma surgeries and corneal graft survival rates in patients who have undergone CT.

METHODS:

A single-center, retrospective cohort was conducted on all patients at our tertiary hospital who had received glaucoma surgery following corneal transplant surgery from 2020 to 2023. Inclusion criteria were defined as patients over 18 years of age, with at least 6 months of follow-up. The primary outcomes included corneal graft survival and glaucoma surgery success.

RESULTS:

Twenty eyes from 18 patients who underwent glaucoma procedures after a corneal transplant were analyzed. Glaucoma surgery success – IOP level within limits (>6 mmHg but below the preset target), no further glaucoma surgeries, and no postoperative severe vision loss due to complications – was achieved in 80% of cases, with no significant differences observed among techniques. Corneal graft survival at 6 months (a functional transplant that does not require a regraft procedure and with central graft clarity) was 55%, with higher rates observed in patients undergoing nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS), XEN45 gel stent (XGS), or PAUL glaucoma implant (PGI) procedures compared to trabeculectomy and Ahmed valve. Only 35% of patients experienced minor complications, and no major adverse events were reported.

CONCLUSION:

In our retrospective cohort study, surgical approaches such as NPDS, XGS, or PGI showed the most favorable outcomes regarding glaucoma surgery success and corneal graft survival rates.

Published: December 2024

Purpose:

Ocular injuries frequently result in significant eye-related health issues, often leading to severe and sometimes irreversible vision impairment. This case series aims to highlight the presentation, management and outcomes of various ocular injuries over a 1-month period, emphasizing the necessity for timely and effective intervention.

Methods:

This case series includes 11 patients with varying degrees of ocular trauma, who presenting to an emergency department over a month. Each case was documented in detail, including patient demographics, mechanism of injury, clinical findings, surgical interventions, and postoperative outcomes. The primary focus was on the initial surgical management and subsequent referral for specialized care when necessary.

Results:

Case 1 describes a 4-year-old boy who sustained a corneal laceration and cataract, managed with corneal suturing and lens extraction. Case 2 describes a 13-year-old boy who suffered a sclerocorneal tear with iris prolapse, treated with wound exploration and repair. Case 3 described an 18-year-old boy with a thorn injury who underwent corneal repair and anterior vitrectomy. Cases 4-11 include various injuries, such as full-thickness corneal tears, hyphema, conjunctival lacerations, and lens dislocation, each managed with appropriate surgical intervention and postoperative care. The cases underscore the complexity of ocular trauma management and the critical need for prompt, skilled intervention. The variability in injury mechanisms and severity highlights the importance of tailored surgical approaches and the role of early referral to specialized care for optimal outcomes.

Conclusion:

Ocular trauma presents diverse challenges requiring prompt and effective management to prevent long-term visual impairment. This case series emphasizes the importance of comprehensive emergency care and specialized follow-up to address the multifaceted nature of ocular injuries.
Post-traumatic Corneal Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia: A Case Report
Authors: Wali Keerti , Sankolli Nikita , Nerune Savitri
Published: December 2024

We report a rare presentation of limbus-sparing ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) over post-traumatic adherent leucoma. A 32-year-old healthy male presented with a pedunculated fleshy corneal mass overlying an adherent leucoma secondary to self-healed full-thickness corneal laceration, with an adjacent pinguecula separated by a clear normal limbus. AS-OCT confirmed the separation of corneal epithelial mass from underlying iris tissue by thinned scarred corneal stroma. An excisional biopsy with 2mm conjunctival margins and a limbal conjunctival autograft was performed. A feeder vessel was observed at the base of the corneal lesion. Histopathological evaluation showed moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Adjuvant Interferon alfa 2b chemotherapy for three months ensured complete clearance with no recurrence at follow-up. This case highlights the traumatic etiology of OSSN development without limbal involvement. Immediate corneal tear repair may have prevented its occurrence and the need for long-term chemotherapy.
Comparison of OCT Angiography Parameters after Administration of Intravitreal Brolucizumab versus Ranibizumab in Exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration
Authors: Moses Sanjitha Vilma , Varman Aadithreya , Balakumar Dinesh , Varman Arulmozhi
Published: December 2024

Purpose:

To compare the OCT angiography (OCTA)–derived parametric changes before and after intravitreal administration of ranibizumab and brolucizumab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and to compare the changes between the two groups.

Methods:

This retrospective cohort study was done on 68 eyes with neovascular ARMD: 34 received injection ranibizumab and 34 received brolucizumab in a stratified manner. Central foveal thickness (CFT) and OCTA parameters like vessel density (VD), superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), foveal avascular zone, (FAZ), fractal dimension (FD) were assessed. The scans were repeated 1 month postinjection.

Results:

In total, 46% had type 1 CNVM and 54% had Type 2 CNVM. In both the ranibizumab and brolucizumab group, the corrected visual acuity showed comparable significant improvement 1 month postinjection. The CFT showed significant reduction in both, more significant in brolucizumab. OCTA showed a minimal nonsignificant reduction in the VD, SCP and DCP at 1 month, which were not significantly different. The FAZ and FD showed a significant increase and reduction, respectively, in the brolucizumab group, unlike the ranibizumab group.

Conclusion:

OCTA changes suggest that anti-VEGF drugs produce no change in the capillary density. A reduction in structural architecture of smaller capillary branches i.e. fractal dimension and increase in FAZ is noted with brolucizumab, suggesting that some structural alterations of retinal microvasculature do exist with the drug.

ERGONOMİK RİSK VE ENERJİ TÜKETİM KISITLARI ALTINDA MONTAJ HATTI DENGELEME PROBLEMİNİN HEDEF PROGRAMLAMA İLE MODELLENMESİ VE ÇÖZÜMÜ
Authors: Menkis Dilara , Kahya Emin
Published: December 2024

Montaj hattı dengele probleminde, işlemler arasındaki öncelik ilişkileri dikkate alınarak boş süreleri enküçükleyecek şekilde işlemler istasyonlara atanır. Montaj hatları, üretim sürecinin kritik bir noktasını oluşturur ve ergonomik faktörlerin burada dikkate alınması, çalışanların performansını ve memnuniyetini belirleyici bir etken haline gelir. Aynı zamanda işlemlerin fiziksel iş yükleri ile çalışanların o işlemi yaparken harcadıkları enerji miktarları arasında farklılıklar olmaktadır. Bu nedenle montaj hatları dengelenirken istasyonun risk seviyesinin ve çalışanın harcadığı enerji miktarının da kabul edilebilir bir seviyeye düşürülmesi amaçlanmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, bir beyaz eşya metal sanayi işletmesinde basit tek modelli montaj hattı dengeleme problemi ergonomik risk seviyeleri ve çalışanların harcadığı enerji miktarları dikkate alınarak modellenmiştir. Her bir işlemin zorluk dereceleri REBA yöntemi ile hesaplanmıştır. Çalışanların harcadığı enerji miktarları sabah ve öğleden sonra olmak üzere toplam 120 dakika akıllı saat ile ölçüm alınarak belirlenmiştir. Çevrim süresi, fiziksek iş yükü ve harcanan enerji miktarından sapmaları enküçükleyen bir hedef programlama modeli geliştirilmiştir. Her bir istasyonda toplam REBA skoru ve harcanan enerji miktarı için hedef ve maksimum değerler belirlenmiş, kısıt olarak modele eklenmiş ve GAMS paket programı ile model çözülmüştür. Ergonomik risk ve harcanan enerji miktarı dikkate alınmadan yapılan dengeleme sonuçları karşılaştırılmış ve hedeflenen REBA skorundan sapma oranı %22’den %14,4’e ve enerji tüketim miktarının hedeflenen değerden sapması %10,7’den %5,4’e düşmüştür. Risk seviyesi yüksek olan istasyon sayısı 5’ten 4’e azalmış ancak enerji tüketim miktarı yüksek olan istasyon sayısı 5’ten 6’ya yükselmiştir. Maksimum REBA değerinden sapma ise %15,2’den %8,8’e, enerji tüketim miktarı sapması ise %5’den %0,3’e düşmüştür. Risk seviyesi yüksek istasyon sayısı aynı kalmasına rağmen hem fiziksel iş yükleri hem de harcanan enerji miktarları açısından daha dengeli bir montaj hattı oluşturulmuştur.

Образы Монголии в советской живописи второй половины XX века (по материалам собрания Национальной галереи искусства, Улан-Батор)
Authors: Сарантуяа Б. , Яйленко Е.В.
Published: December 2024

В статье рассматриваются произведения советских художников, посвященные Монголии и ныне хранящиеся в отдельном фонде Национальной художественной галереи Монголии в Улан-Баторе (в общей сложности более ста работ). В числе тех, кто трудился над их выполнением, были как малоизвестные ныне художники, так и крупные мастера советской школы живописи (Ф.С. Торхов, А.В. Казанский, Ю.А. Походаев, Д.-Н.Д. Дугаров). Рассматриваемый в статье изобразительный материал до сих пор не был известен специалистам и впервые вводится в научный оборот. На примере искусствоведческого анализа произведений, принадлежащих к жанрам портрета и пейзажа, а также бытовых сцен, сделана попытка выявить некоторые общие закономерности художественного творчества, влиявшие на формирование образа Монголии в советской живописи последней трети XX века. Особое место уделено рассмотрению вопроса о том, как знакомство с произведениями монгольских художников отразилось на отборе жизненных впечатлений и способов их изобразительной репрезентации.

The article is devoted to the research of artworks by Soviet artists dedicated to Mongolia and now kept in a separate fund of the National Art Gallery of Mongolia in Ulaanbaatar (in total, more than one hundred pieces). The artists who worked on these pieces included both lesser-known figures and prominent members of the Soviet school of painting, such as F.S. Torkhov, A.V. Kazansky, Y.A. Pokhodaev, and D.-N.D. Dugarov. The artistic material considered in this article has not yet been known to specialists and is being for the first time introduced into scientific discourse. This article employs an art historical analysis of works belonging to the genres of portraiture, landscape, and domestic scenes to identify general patterns of artistic creativity that influenced the formation of the image of Mongolia in Soviet painting during the latter third of the 20th century. Special attention is given to the question of how acquaintance with works of different Mongolian artists influenced the perception of everyday life and ways of the pictorial representation of visual experience.

Также изучены статьи, опубликованные в специализированных журналах и искусствоведческих сборниках, каталоги выставок (всесоюзных, республиканских, персональных, отдельных художественных объединений), воспоминания и письма участников процесса. В результате системно-исторического жанрового анализа удалось выстроить жанровую хронотипологию творчества художников. Для исследования отдельных произведений и выявления общих признаков применен формально-стилистический метод. Сравнительно-аналитический метод позволил изучить становление каждого представителя рассматриваемого живописного направления и выявить общие тенденции и влияние предшественников.

This article aims to address the work of Crimean artists of the twentieth century, determine the significance of N.S. Barsamov's activity for the cultural life of Theodosia, and identify the artistic and content priorities of his students S.G. Mamchich, V.A. Sokolov, N.A. Shorin, and P.K. Stolyarenko in the early stages of their creative development. Furthermore, the work presents facts from the biography of N.S. Barsamov, which serve to illustrate the significance of his role as the director of the Theodosia Picture Gallery named after I.K. Aivazovsky and the founder of the painting school. The study's artistic material comprised paintings from the Theodosia Picture Gallery named after I.K. Aivazovsky, and the Simferopol Art Museum. The articles published in specialised journals and art history collections, exhibition catalogues (all-union, republican, personal, individual art associations), memoirs and letters of the participants in the process were subjected to detailed analysis. A system-historical genre analysis enabled the construction of a genre chronotypology for the artists' work. The formal and stylistic analysis was employed to examine individual works and identify common features. The comparative-analytical method facilitated the study of the formation of each representative of the considered painting direction and the identification of common trends and the influence of predecessors.
TRANSMEDIAL COMICS ADAPTATIONS AS AN EXAMPLE OF A DIALOGUE BETWEEN MEDIA
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv: Kyiv, UA, Yefymenko Victoria
Published: December 2024

In our paper we will discuss the adaptation of literary texts in other media, in particular in comics. We will answer the question how the specificity of a new medium shapes the adaptation. The data will include such comics adaptations as Gaiman’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Comeau’s Ninja-rella. In our analysis we will apply comparative, narratological and multimodal approaches. We will compare the source literary texts with the target comics adaptations, examine the main transformations of classic literary texts in a new medium. Intertextual references will be traced at the level of comics titles, names of the characters and their characteristics, quotes and semi-quotes, which paraphrase the original texts. We will outline comics-specific features, emanata and onomatopoeic words. Special attention will be given to the page layout, an essential comics element that “gives overall coherence to the narrative discourse” (Groensteen, 2013: 96), as well as different types of transitions between panels. Comics are closely related to cinematic language, so they make use of various cinematic devices. From the narratological perspective we will examine spatial and temporal structures, devices for presenting a character’s subjectivity. The application of the multimodal approach will result in the analysis of text-image relations.

Dragoslav Mihailović, as a representative of the “prose of reality” or neorealism, turned to the social periphery, to the dirty and real, to the world of losers and outsiders. Rationalism, saturation of the text with jargon, dialectics, colloquial (street) language comes to the fore here. Mihailović skillfully describes the true, real life of a person using authentic language through a monologue “I”–narrative. This “I” bears the imprint of the worldview and artistic concept of the writer, the author emphasizes the problem of opposition between good and evil. He touches on situations that do not leave humanity alone: the coexistence of man and society, the choice between duty and desire. This is what makes Mikhailovich’s realism so modern and close to the current reader.

In the article a partial integro-differential equation with degenerate kernel and Hilfer fractional operator is considered. The issues of unique classical solvability and construction of a solution to a mixed problem for a homogeneous integro-differential equation containing a Hilfer fractional analogue of the Barenblatt–Zheltov–Kochina operator are studied. The Fourier series method based on the separation of variables was used. By the aid of the Mittag–Leffler function is obtained a countable system. Sufficient coefficient conditions for unique classical solvability of the mixed problem are established. The absolute and uniform convergence of the obtained series is proved.

Published: December 2024

Akibat pandemi Covid-19, perekonomian di berbagai sektor mengalami dampak signifikan, mengakibatkan banyak perusahaan tidak dapat beroperasi secara normal dan berisiko mengalami kebangkrutan. Krisis ini berdampak negatif pada karyawan yang kehilangan hak-hak mereka. Dalam konteks ini, Penundaan Kewajiban Pembayaran Utang (PKPU) menjadi pilihan bagi karyawan untuk mendapatkan kepastian hukum atas hak-hak yang belum dipenuhi. PKPU merupakan mekanisme yang diberikan pengadilan kepada debitur untuk merundingkan utang dengan krediturnya, baik untuk membayar sebagian atau seluruh utang. Proses PKPU harus mengikuti ketentuan hukum yang berlaku, termasuk persetujuan dari pengurus yang ditunjuk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsekuensi hukum antara perusahaan sebagai debitur dan karyawan sebagai kreditur dalam PKPU. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif, dengan analisis terhadap undang-undang dan teori hukum yang relevan. Selama PKPU, debitor tidak dapat mengalihfungsikan aset tanpa izin, dan tidak dapat membayar utang di luar proses ini hingga tercapai homologasi. Begitu pula, kreditur tidak dapat menagih utang selama proses berlangsung. Kesimpulannya, PKPU menjadi langkah hukum penting bagi karyawan untuk menuntut pemenuhan hak-hak mereka dari perusahaan.

Milattan önce ikinci binyıl Anadolu coğrafyasında, büyük bir imparatorluğun ortaya çıkıp zirveye ulaştığı bir dönemi temsil eder. Hititlerin bu geniş coğrafyada yer alması, siyasi açıdan güçlenmeleri ve ekonomik büyümeleri, aynı zamanda kültürel gelişmeleri için de bir temel oluşturmuştur. Hitit devletinden günümüze ulaşan çok çeşitli içeriklere sahip olan çivi yazılı tabletler, bu uygarlığın zengin kültürel özelliklerini yansıtmaktadır. Teokratik bir yönetim yapısına sahip olan devlet düzeninde din, hem hukuk kurallarının ortaya konmasında, hem de toplumsal yapının şekillenmesinde etkili olmuştur. Dolayısıyla din, yalnızca bireylerin manevi ihtiyaçlarını gidermekle kalmamış aynı zamanda toplumsal düzeni ve siyasi yönetimi de şekillendirmiştir. Arşivlerde özellikle Mezopotamya kültüründen etkilenen Hititlerin, karar alma süreçlerinde fal uygulamaları ve sonuçlarına dair ilginç kayıtlar bulunmaktadır. Belgeler fal ve kehanetin Hitit devletinde her kademede ne kadar yaygın ve etkin olduğunu göstermektedir. Hitit devletinde din hayatın her alanında oldukça etkin bir rol oynar ve dolayısıyla tanrıların istekleri ve memnuniyeti büyük bir önem taşır, bu nedenle fal ve kehanet tanrı ve insan arasında bir bağlantı unsuru olarak kabul görmüştür. Çeşitli fal teknikleri uygulamışlardır. Kuş falı da bunlardan biridir. Çivi yazılı belgelerde kuş falını uygulayan çok sayıda görevlinin ismi geçmektedir. Falları uygulayanlar Hitit Devlet anlayışında yüksek statüde olan kâtip, kâhin ve kâhin başı gibi görevlere ve mühre sahip kişilerdir.
