OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of preoperatively assessed paraspinal muscle parameters on postoperative patient-reported outcomes and maintenance of cervical sagittal alignment after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).

METHODS

Patients with preoperative and postoperative standing cervical spine lateral radiographs and preoperative cervical MRI who underwent an ACDF between 2015 and 2018 were reviewed. Muscles from C3 to C7 were segmented into 4 functional groups: anterior, posteromedial, posterolateral, and sternocleidomastoid. The functional cross-sectional area and also the percent fat infiltration (FI) were calculated for all groups. Radiographic alignment parameters collected preoperatively and postoperatively included C2–7 lordosis and C2–7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA). Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores were recorded preoperatively and at 2 and 4–6 months postoperatively. To investigate the relationship between muscle parameters and postoperative changes in sagittal alignment, multivariable linear mixed models were used. Multivariable linear regression models were used to analyze the correlations between the changes in NDI scores and the muscles’ FI.

RESULTS

A total of 168 patients with NDI and 157 patients with sagittal alignment measurements with a median follow-up of 364 days were reviewed. The mixed models showed that a greater functional cross-sectional area of the posterolateral muscle group at each subaxial level and less FI at C4–6 were significantly associated with less progression of C2–7 SVA over time. Moreover, there was a significant correlation between greater FI of the posteromedial muscle group measured at the C7 level and less NDI improvement at 4–6 months after ACDF.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings highlight the importance of preoperative assessment of the cervical paraspinal muscle morphology as a predictor for patient-reported outcomes and maintenance of C2–7 SVA after ACDF.

Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to provide a quantitative synthesis of the survival outcomes for patients with skull base chordomas, focusing on the role of 1) the extent of resection (gross-total [GTR] vs non-GTR), 2) the type of surgery (primary vs revision), 3) tumor histology, and 4) the different use of adjuvant therapies (proton beam radiotherapy [PBRT], photon radiotherapy [RT], or none).

METHODS

A systematic review with a meta-analysis was conducted following the 2020 PRISMA guidelines. Observational studies describing adult and pediatric patient cohorts harboring skull base chordomas were included. The primary outcome measures were represented by the 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates. The main intervention effects were represented by the extent of resection (GTR vs non-GTR), type of surgical excision (primary vs revision surgeries), tumor histology, and the different use of adjuvant therapies (PBRT, RT, or none). The pooled estimates were calculated using random forest models. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist for case series.

RESULTS

Six hundred forty-four studies were identified through a database and register search. After study selection, 51 studies and 3871 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The overall 5-year OS rate was 73%, which increased to 84% among patients undergoing GTR. The overall 5-year PFS rate was 52%, increasing to 74% for patients receiving GTR. The 5-year OS and PFS rates for patients undergoing PBRT were 86% and 71%, compared with 71% and 54% for patients receiving RT, and 55% and 25% when no adjuvant treatments were used. Patients undergoing their first surgery had 2.13-fold greater chances of being disease-free and 1.4-fold greater chances of being alive at 5 years follow-up compared with patients who received a revision surgery. Patients harboring chondroid chordomas had 1.13- and 1.9-fold greater chances of being alive at 5 years compared with patients with conventional and de-differentiated chordomas, respectively. The overall risk of bias was low in the included studies.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this comprehensive meta-analysis highlight the tremendous impact of GTR and adjuvant PBRT on improving OS and PFS of patients harboring skull base chordomas, with better survival rates demonstrated for patients with chondroid tumors. Even in experienced hands, the rate of surgical morbidity remains high. Proper management in high-volume centers is mandatory to reach the expected resection goal at the first surgical attempt and to reduce surgical morbidity. The introduction of the endoscopic endonasal approach was related to improved surgical and functional outcomes.

Authors: Indarti Adrian , Fitri Muhamad Bintang
Published: May 2024

In the "BTN-01" well, one of the wells is owned by KSO PT PERTAMINA EP PT Sarana GSS Trembul. The "BTN-01" well is installed with a hydraulic pumping unit pump that experiences decreasing production, and based on tests on January 30, 2023, the output of the "BTN-01" well produces only 216 bfpd with 98% of water cut. The pump operates on 8 SPM of pump speed and 74-inch stroke length, with 43% of volumetric efficiency. As per theory, a proper design of hydraulic pumping unit pump will produce a volumetric efficiency value above 70%. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to perform research, started with an evaluation on the existing design and continue to quantitative research by recalculating the optimum production rate from IPR calculation, recalculating pump speed, recalculating pump stroke length, and recalculating volumetric efficiency to achieve higher value on both production rate and volumetric efficiency of the pump. In the "BTN-01" well, IPR was calculated by the Wiggins method, and it is known that the oil production rate is 5.53 bopd, 421.96 bwpd of water rate, and the fluid production rate is 427.5 bfpd. Based on the results of HPU redesign and recalculation of the optimum production rate, the new value of pump speed is 7 SPM (existing 8 SPM), the pump stroke length is 70 inches (existing 74 inches) with a volumetric efficiency of 78.45% (existing 43%) that can be called optimal.

Authors: Hamdani Dadi , Firmansyah Andan , Setiawan Henri
Published: May 2024

Background : Hypertension is still a problem for some people because treatment must be carried out regularly and requires regular visits to health facilities. This is a problem for some groups of society, along with the continued use of drugs that have side effects that they must consume with long-term use. Hypertension occurs when systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg. Apart from medicines, we can also treat high blood pressure by using natural ingredients such as tomato juice. Tomato juice contains potassium and lycopene, which can lower blood pressure.
Objectives : To determine the effect of giving tomato juice on changes in blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
Methods : Quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design using a non-randomized control group pretest-posttest approach and a sampling technique using purposive sampling. The total sample was 62 respondents. Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney test were used for statistical tests.
Results : Wilcoxon test results for systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group were recorded for each p-value <0.05 before and after the intervention. The results of the Mann-Whitney test for systolic and diastolic blood pressure after intervention showed a p-value <0.05.
Conclusion : Giving tomato juice (Solanum lycopersicum) affects changes in blood pressure in hypertensive patients, so it is recommended as an alternative non-pharmacological treatment option.
Insights for opponents on fostering interaction in the public defence of a doctoral dissertation
Authors: Laajalahti Anne , Virtanen Ira A.
Published: May 2024

The public defence of a doctoral dissertation is a multifaceted, demanding interaction situation, in which the Doctoral Candidate and the Opponent have a conversation about the Candidate’s doctoral dissertation. The public defence is an honoured tradition and, in many countries, one of the key celebratory moments in academia. In Finland, the event is public and rather formal. The public defence has received little focus in research and academic discussion from the perspective of social interaction, in which the Opponent has a central role. The interpersonal communication competence of the Opponent largely determines the nature of the public defence. Hence, there is need for guidelines and support for the Opponents’ communication. The aim of our article is to describe the typical conventions of Finnish public defence for those unfamiliar with it and provide insights into public defence as an interaction situation. Additionally, we offer communication guidelines for the Opponents on how to construct effective and appropriate interaction in public defence and help those granted the honour to prepare and conduct their duties competently. We cover both the interpersonal conversation between the Candidate and the Opponent, and the engagement with the listeners.

Published: May 2024

Intrinsic motivation, which is the inner drive that motivates individuals to engage in various activities across different domains, plays a crucial role in shaping performance, especially in sports like softball. This study explores the complex interplay between gender, intrinsic motivation, and softball skills among university students. Using quantitative research methods and an ex-post facto design, this research provides valuable insights into the comparison of intrinsic motivation (interest, enjoyment, and personal challenge) and softball skills based on gender. The results reveal significant gender-based disparities in softball skills, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to promote gender equality in sports. Interestingly, despite differences in skills, the levels of intrinsic motivation encompassing interest, enjoyment, and personal challenge remain consistent across genders, emphasizing the universal appeal of intrinsic motivation in sports. Additionally, the study employed two distinct instruments: the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS) to assess intrinsic motivation and the O'Donnell Softball Test to measure softball skills. This research underscores the potential of sports programs to leverage these shared motivational factors to improve performance and engagement. It offers valuable insights into the diverse world of sports participation, providing a promising path for more inclusive and effective sports programs in the university environment, with a focus on promoting equality and excellence in sports participation.

This study carried out an in-depth analysis of two popular physical training programs: continuous running and interval training. The research method involved a number of statistical tests, including checking the normality of data distribution, uniformity analysis, and independent T tests. Participants from both training programs were used to gain a more detailed understanding of the nature of each program and comparisons of performance between the two. The analysis results show that continuous running approaches a normal data distribution, indicating data stability and consistency. Meanwhile, the finding that performance variability was similar across the two programs led to new insights into the consistency of performance within the groups. The main finding was the superiority of continuous running in performance gains, with average scores consistently higher than interval training. This indicates the potential of continuous running in increasing physical capacity and endurance. The practical implications are relevant for the design of exercise programs, providing guidance for coaches and individuals seeking improved physical performance. Although the results show the superiority of continuous running, interval training may require adapting strategies to achieve better results. This research also opens up opportunities for further research, especially in understanding the factors that influence achievement in these two training programs. Further exploration of variations in training duration, intensity and frequency in the context of both could provide new insights into the world of fitness and sport. These findings provide a strong empirical basis for decisions regarding physical exercise programs, support data-driven decision making, and provide insight into scientific approaches in guiding more effective and efficient physical exercise practices.

This study aims to investigate differences in the quality of physical fitness of students in cities and villages, which are influenced by geographical location and different daily activities. The research method used was quantitative descriptive with a population and sample of 160 people. The data analysis technique applied is the Mann-Whitney Test. The results showed quantitatively significant differences between the two groups, with the average difference showing that fitness in villages reached 5.42 compared to students in cities. This indicates that the group of students in the village has a higher level of fitness than the group of students in the city. The fitness assessment using the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI) category shows that students in the city are in the Medium fitness category, while students in the village are in the Good fitness category. The findings illustrate that more active physical activity in villages may be the cause of the difference. Students in villages tend to have a more active lifestyle, engaging in physical activities such as walking, running, and jumping, while students in cities tend to spend their free time playing with gadgets. In conclusion, the results of this study support the view that geographical factors and daily activities affect students' fitness levels, with implications for TKJI categories that indicate better fitness levels in villages than cities.
