Effect of surgical modification of deep brain stimulation lead trajectories on radiofrequency heating during MRI at 3T: from phantom experiments to clinical implementation
Authors: Vu Jasmine , Bhusal Bhumi , Rosenow Joshua M. , Pilitsis Julie , Golestanirad Laleh
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVE

Radiofrequency (RF) tissue heating around deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads is a well-known safety risk during MRI, resulting in strict imaging guidelines and limited allowable protocols. The implanted lead’s trajectory and orientation with respect to the MRI electric fields contribute to variations in the magnitude of RF heating across patients. Currently, there are no surgical requirements for implanting the extracranial portion of the DBS lead, resulting in substantial variations in clinical lead trajectories and consequently RF heating. Recent studies have shown that incorporating concentric loops in the extracranial lead trajectory can reduce RF heating. However, optimal positioning of the loops and the quantitative benefit of trajectory modification in terms of added safety margins during MRI remain unknown. In this study, the authors systematically evaluated the characteristics of DBS lead trajectories that minimize RF heating during 3T MRI to develop the best surgical practices for safe access to postoperative MRI, and they present the first surgical implementation of these modified trajectories.

METHODS

The authors performed experiments to assess the maximum temperature increase of 244 distinct lead trajectories. They investigated the effect of the position, number, and size of the concentric loops on the skull. Experiments were performed in an anthropomorphic phantom implanted with a commercial DBS system, and RF exposure was generated by applying a high specific absorption rate sequence (B1+rms = 2.7 µT). The authors conducted test-retest experiments to assess the reliability of measurements. Additionally, they evaluated the effect of imaging landmarks and perturbations to the DBS device configuration on the efficacy of low-heating trajectories. Finally, two neurosurgeons implanted the recommended modified trajectories in patients, and the authors characterized their RF heating in comparison with unmodified trajectories.

RESULTS

The maximum temperature increase ranged from 0.09°C to 7.34°C. The authors found that increasing the number of loops and positioning them closer to the surgical burr hole, particularly for the contralateral lead, substantially reduced RF heating. These trajectory modifications were easily incorporated during the surgical procedure and resulted in a threefold reduction in RF heating.

CONCLUSIONS

Surgically modifying the extracranial portion of the DBS lead trajectory can substantially reduce RF heating during 3T MRI. The authors’ results indicate that simple adjustments to the lead’s configuration, such as small, concentric loops near the burr hole, can be readily adopted during DBS lead implantation to improve patient safety during MRI.

OBJECTIVE

Chordomas are rare tumors that often recur regardless of surgery with negative margins and postoperative radiotherapy. The predictive accuracy of widely used immunohistochemical (IHC) markers in addressing the recurrence of skull base chordomas (SBCs) is yet to be determined. This study aimed to investigate IHC markers in the prediction of recurrence after SBC resection with adjuvant radiation therapy.

METHODS

The authors reviewed the records of patients who had treatment for SBC between January 2017 and June 2021 across the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Florida, and Arizona. Exclusion criteria included patients who had no histopathology or recurrence as an outcome. Histopathological markers included cytokeratin A1/A3 only, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), S100 protein, pan-cytokeratin, IN1, GATA3, CAM5.2, OSCAR, and chondroid. Information from patient records was abstracted, including treatment, clinical and radiological follow-up duration, demographics, and histopathological factors. Decision tree and random forest classifiers were trained and tested to predict the recurrence based on unseen data using an 80/20 split.

RESULTS

A total of 38 patients with a diagnosis of SBC who underwent resection (gross-total resection: 42.1%; and subtotal resection: 57.9%) and radiation therapy were extracted from the medical records. The mean patient age was 48.2 (SD 19.6) years; most patients were male (n = 23; 60.5%) and White (n = 36; 94.7%). Pan-cytokeratin was associated with an increased risk of postoperative recurrence (OR 14.67, 95% CI 2.44–88.13; p = 0.00517) after resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. The decision tree analysis found pan-cytokeratin–positive tumors to have a 78% chance of being classified as a recurrence, with an accuracy of 75%. The distribution of minimal depth in the prediction of postoperative recurrence indicates that the most important variables were pan-cytokeratin, followed by cytokeratin A1/A3 and EMA.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors’ machine learning algorithm identified pan-cytokeratin as the largest contributor to recurrence among other IHC markers after SBC resection. Machine learning may facilitate the prediction of outcomes in rare tumors, such as chordomas.
Prioritizing STEAM Education from the Start: The Path to Inclusive and Sustainable STEAM Education
Authors: Nyaaba Matthew , Akanzire Bismark Nyaaba , Mohammed Salamatu Haruna
Published: November 2023

This study highlights the significance of prioritizing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education from the early stages of learning as a crucial step towards achieving inclusive and sustainable STEAM education. The study adopted a critical discourse analysis (CDA) and an allegory method entitled 'The Ancient Multi-Story Building'. The CDA focused on study reports and news on STEAM initiatives in Ghana. The findings revealed a substantial gap in early education STEAM initiatives, largely due to prevailing misconceptions about early childhood and primary education. The allegory of the 'Ancient Multi-Story Building' further explains the adverse impact of this gap by metaphorizing the flawed approach of initiating and investing heavily in upper-level STEAM education while neglecting these foundational years, much like a village constructing a multi-story building focusing on the higher floors without solidifying its base; the result is certain to be disastrous. Similarly, the findings show that previous STEM-related initiatives in Ghana have often been inclusively ineffective. The allegory further points out that the few students who thrive in these lopsided STEM-related pathways are typically those from affluent backgrounds with the necessary support. The study indicated that starting STEAM education in the early years of education has the potential to promote gender equity, cultivate critical thinking skills, and develop a positive attitude towards STEAM subjects among all young learners. This study, therefore, lays the groundwork to propose a strategic framework for early childhood and primary STEAM education in Ghana and other similar contexts
Preparation and Obstacle of Notary in Making Notarial Deed in Facing Society 5.0 Era
Authors: Urbanus Yotia Jericho , Dharsana I Made Pria
Published: November 2023

This writing discusses the preparation and obstacle of Notary in making Notarial deed in facing. Notary Deed is an authentic deed made by or before a Notary according to the form and procedure stipulated in Undang-Undang Number 2/2014. According to Article 1868 of the Civil Code, an authentic deed is a deed made in a form determined by law by or before a public official authorized for that purpose at the place where the deed was made. This gives an indication that a deed made by a Notary as a public official can be said to be an authentic deed if it meets the requirements as described in the article. The entry of society 5.0 era in Indonesian society causes the need for an adaptation for Notaries in Indonesia in terms of meeting the needs of people who are affiliated with technology, especially in making authentic deeds. Initially, the use of technology such as the use of video conferences, electronic signatures, electronic ID verification tools and the liveliness test system was considered the answer for Notaries in terms of meeting the community's need for authentic deeds, especially in dealing with technological developments that entered all aspects of human life. However, Indonesia as a legal state that has the spirit to always ensure justice and legal certainty, causes all actions taken by a legal subject to be guided by the law that governs it. In this case, there are obstacles in the use of video conferencing, electronic signatures, electronic ID verification tools and the liveliness test system due to the absence of a legal basis that serves as a legal umbrella for their use in making a notarial deed. Furthermore the concept of facing using technological developments cannot be equated with being physically present as described in Undang-Undang Jabatan Notaris.

The conclusion obtained from the results of this study is that detik.com, tribunnews.com, and coil.com both apply the straight news reporting model that is on actual issues to implement it as a social media control. This pattern of reporting helped push information about Brigadier J's murder into a wild ball outside of mainstream information.
Implementation Of The Contrarius Actus Principle In Revocation Of Land Certificate Without A Court
Authors: Busroh Firman Freaddy , Khairo Fatria , Zhafirah Putri Difa
Published: November 2023

Proof of ownership of land is a land certificate. Often in the issuance of land certificates, there are problems. Land certificates that have been issued usually cause problems and must be canceled. One of the causes of the revocation of land certificates is invalid data which contains administrative defects. The problem arises that often the Head of the Land Office is reluctant to cancel the land certificate and prefers the applicant for the revocation of the land certificate to file a lawsuit in court or through litigation. This was suggested by the Head of the Land Office because of his misunderstanding of the Contrarius Actus principle. The Contrarius Actus principle is a principle in administrative law where the State Administrative Officer who makes State Administrative Decisions is automatically authorized to change, replace, revoke and cancel the documents he has made. and juridical defects must be revoked by the Head of the Land Office without having to wait for a court decision if they have fulfilled the revocation requirements.

The results of this study found that the use of cryptocurrencies has two functions, namely as currency and digital investments, but the use of cryptocurrencies clashes with the concept of Islamic economics because cryptocurrency has elements of dharar, ghrara, and qimar, also the idea of money in cryptocurrency clashes with the concept of money in Islam.
The Recruitment Issues of Prospective Regional Head Candidates by Political Parties
Authors: Junaidi Junaidi Junaidi
Published: November 2023

The mandate of Article 29 paragraph (2) of Law No.2/2008 requires that the recruitment of candidates for regional head/deputy regional head by political parties must be carried out in a democratic and open manner. However, the arrangement and implementation are left to each political party. This study analyzes the problem of recruitment of regional head candidates by political parties in a democratic and open manner which then provide ideas as alternative solutions. This research is normative legal research with a statute approach. The theory of democracy is used as a qualitative analysis guide and is presented descriptively. The results of this study conclude that the recruitment of prospective regional head/deputy regional head candidates, whose arrangements and implementation are left to political parties, tends to be carried out in an undemocratic and not open manner. Political parties tend to do so exclusively at the party elite level. Even though at the regional level a selection of prospective candidates was carried out by several political parties, the final decision was determined by the leadership at the central level. In addition, the pattern of recruitment is also very vulnerable to money politics. This is because political parties have full authority in recruiting prospective regional head candidates, so that they are not covered by The General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) and General Election Commissions (KPU) supervision. In the future, improvements need to be made so that arrangements regarding the recruitment of prospective regional head/deputy regional head candidates are strictly regulated in the Regional Head Election Law (Pilkada Law), not in the statutes of each political party.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Legal Policy Establishment of Article 107 Numbers 2 Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation Reviewed From Transfer of Technology Regulation in Article 7 TRIPs. This research is normative legal research by prioritizing statutory approaches and historical approach. The results of the study show that Article 107 Numbers 2 Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation is not by the mandate of Article 7 TRIPs, and implicated for the absence of government interference in technology transfer especially in the field of patents. The legal policy of establishing Article 107 Numbers 2 Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation is influenced by the intervention of other countries and more inclined towards adjusting international trade politics than defending national interests. The most ideal arrangement regarding technology transfer is by the formulation of Article 20 Paragraph (2) Law Number 13 of 2016 concerning Patents, which in essence patents must support technology transfer. Suggestions in this study for the lawmaker should emphasize the necessity for technology transfer in the field of patents through licenses in Indonesian laws and regulations.
