Published: May 2024

Background: This study aimed to assess intraoperative cerebral hemodynamic responses and embolic events during transcarotid artery revascularization via transcranial Doppler, near-infrared spectroscopy, and bispectral index monitoring.

Methods: Twelve patients (7 males, 5 females; mean age: 72.8±9.0 years; range, 63 to 91 years) undergoing transcarotid artery revascularization with simultaneous transcranial Doppler, near-infrared spectroscopy, and bispectral index monitoring were analyzed in this retrospective study between September 2017 and December 2019. The mean flow velocity and pulsatility index of the middle cerebral artery, alongside near-infrared spectroscopy and bispectral index values, before flow reversal, during flow reversal, and after flow reversal phases were investigated. The presence and frequency of high-intensity transient signals were recorded to evaluate embolic incidents.

Results: Significant reductions in middle cerebral artery mean flow velocity were noted during flow reversal (40.58±10.57 cm/sec to 20.58±14.34 cm/sec, p=0.0004), which subsequently returned to and exceeded baseline values after flow reversal cessation (53.33±17.69 cm/sec, p=0.0005). Near-infrared spectroscopy (71±4.4% to 66±6.2%) and bispectral index (45.71±8.5 to 40.14±8.1) values mirrored these hemodynamic changes, with notable decreases during flow reversal, and recoveries after flow reversal. The highest concentration of high-intensity transient signals was observed during stent deployment, signifying a critical embolic phase. No perioperative neurological complications or other significant adverse events were documented.

Conclusion: Transcranial Doppler, near-infrared spectroscopy, and bispectral index effectively monitor cerebral hemodynamics and embolic potential during transcarotid artery revascularization, providing real-time data crucial for optimizing perioperative management. These findings underscore the clinical value of multimodal monitoring in improving patient outcomes in transcarotid artery revascularization procedures.

Published: May 2024

Background: This study aimed to analyze our video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) experience in the surgical treatment of bronchiectasis and the reasons limiting VATS application.

Methods: Two hundred one patients (106 males, 95 females; mean age: 39.7±14.1 years; range, 12 to 68 years) who underwent surgical treatment for bronchiectasis between January 2012 and October 2021 were included in the retrospective study. Three groups were created based on the surgical technique used: VATS, thoracotomy, and patients who were converted from VATS to thoracotomy.

Results: The most significant presenting symptoms were cough (43%) and excessive sputum expectoration (40%). Surgical intervention was applied to the left side of 60% of the patients, and the most common resection performed in all three groups was left lower lobectomy. The rate of conversion from VATS to thoracotomy was 28.8%, and it was found that dense pleural adhesions were the most common reason. Revision surgery was performed on a total of 11 (5.47%) patients. The frequency of revision surgery did not differ significantly among the three groups (p=0.943). The most common postoperative complication was prolonged air leakage. There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative complication rates among the groups (p=0.417). The rate of surgical treatment of bronchiectasis with VATS was observed to have increased from 11.1% to 77.7% in our clinic.

Conclusion: In experienced hands, VATS can be safely applied in the surgical treatment of bronchiectasis.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of transverse aortic arch stenting and evaluate the course of hypertension and the act of arch stenting on systemic hypertension.

Methods: The transverse aortic arch stenting procedures between January 2007 and May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Detailed procedure information, technical aspects, pressure measurements, angiographic data, balloons and stents used, complications, and immediate results were examined. Early and mid-term results were assessed.

Results: Eighteen patients (10 males and 8 females; mean age: 14.5±5.3 years; range, 4 to 23 years) were included in the study, all of whom were hypertensive before the procedure. The mean weight was 56.8±19.6 kg. In seven patients, the stent struts had to be dilated due to the stent causing jailing at the entrance of nearby arch vessels. After stenting, there was a significant increase in arch diameter and a decrease in ascending aorta pressure and the pressure gradient across the aorta. There were no early mortality or major complications. Late migration of the stent was observed in one patient. Three patients became normotensive immediately after the intervention, and five became drug-free during the follow-up. The requirement for dual antihypertensive therapy was significantly reduced.

Conclusion: Residual transverse arch lesions may contribute to the persistence of systemic hypertension after coarctation treatment. Transverse arch stent implantation can be performed safely with favorable outcomes, facilitating better blood pressure control. However, it should be noted that these patients remain at risk for lifelong hypertension and should be closely monitored in this regard.

Published: May 2024

Background: This study aimed to provide nuanced insights in managing patients with a history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved 168 patients (131 males, 37 females; mean age: 61.2±9.7 years; range, 51 to 72 years) undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery between December 2021 and December 2023. The study examined factors such as age, sex, comorbidities, blood test results, vaccination status, operative parameters, and postoperative complications. Patients’ health records were reviewed to confirm the presence of previous COVID-19 pneumonia and vaccination status. Patients were divided into two groups based on their history of COVID-19 pneumonia: Group 1 included 140 who had not been diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia, and Group 2 included 28 patients who had a documented history of COVID-19 pneumonia. Postoperative pulmonary complications, including atelectasis, pleural effusion, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and pneumonia, were noted.

Results: Patients with a history of COVID-19 pneumonia (Group 2, n=28) demonstrated significantly higher seropositivity for COVID-19 (89.3% vs. 29.3%, p=0.001) compared to those without a history (Group 1, n=140). Although pulmonary complications were higher in Group 2 (17.9% vs. 3.6%, p=0.013), postoperative mortality rates did not differ significantly between the groups. Pleural effusion was markedly higher in Group 2 (14.3% vs. 2.1%, p=0.015). Vaccination did not significantly affect perioperative and postoperative outcomes, except for a minor difference in postoperative drainage volume.

Conclusion: This study highlights the impact of prior COVID-19 pneumonia on postoperative outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting patients. Although there was a rise in pulmonary complications, the mortality rates stayed similar among individuals with and without a prior history of COVID-19 pneumonia. Vaccination did not significantly influence outcomes, emphasizing the need for further research with larger cohorts to validate and expand upon these findings.

Published: May 2024

In the present study, pearl millet flour was blended with refined wheat flour and soy protein isolates for the development of flat bread. The developed products were stored for 18 days to ascertain the changes in physico-chemical and sensory characteristics. In case of flat bread, water absorption of composite flour showed a significant increase with the incorporation of pearl millet flour, whereas gluten content and falling number decreased with the increase in percentage of pearl millet flour. Although, T6 (40:50:10:: pearl millet flour: refined wheat flour: soy protein isolates in flat bread) treatment recorded highest water absorption, but gluten and falling number were highest in treatment T1 (00:100:00:: pearl millet flour: refined wheat flour: soy protein isolates). The highest moisture, crude fat, crudefibre and ash content of 26.31, 4.00, 2.81 and 2.53 per cent were recorded in T6 (40:50:10:: pearl millet flour: refined wheat flour: soy protein isolates). However, T2 (00:90:10:: pearl millet flour: refined wheat flour: soy protein isolates) recorded highest value of crude protein (16.58 per cent). Sensory evaluation of flat bread revealed that T1 (00:100:00:: pearl millet flour: refined wheat flour: soy protein isolates) recorded highest mean score for overall acceptability (8.42), whereas T6 (40:50:10:: pearl millet flour: refined wheat flour: soy protein isolates) recorded lowest mean scores for overall acceptability (6.53).

Published: May 2024

The present investigation was carried out at CCSHAU Rice Research Station, Haryana, to manage sheath blight of rice (Oryza sativa L.) caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn through host resistance, botanical extracts, and to develop a spray schedule of best two botanical extracts, i.e. garlic cloves and turmeric powder in combination with the best two fungicides, viz. azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenoconazole 11.4% SC and thifluzamide 23.9% SC. Out of 307 rice genotypes screened during kharif 2016 and 2017, none was found highly resistant against sheath blight. However, only one genotype (RMS-BL-6) showed consistent resistance reaction during both the years while five entries (MR 8333, KNM 1730, PAU 7111-1-1-0, RP 5141-432-10-3-2 and VL 32197) showed a moderately resistant reaction. The rice genotype RMS-BL-6 also showed moderate resistance to bacterial blight, and was moderately susceptible to stem rot. Extracts of garlic cloves and turmeric powder were found effective and reduced the vertical disease spread (relative lesion height) by 36.62% and 35.38% along with 11.59% and 10.85% enhanced grain yield of paddy respectively. Among combination treatments, application of azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenoconazole 11.4% SC at 1 day after inoculation (DAI) followed by extract of garlic cloves at 11 days after inoculation was highly effective and statistically at par with two applications of azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenoconazole 11.4% SC (at 1 and 11 DAI) and thifluzamide 23.9% SC (at 1 and 11 DAI); application of thifluzamide 23.9% SC (1 DAI) followed by azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenoconazole 11.4% SC (11 DAI) and vice-versa.

Published: May 2024

Thirty two rajma beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) landraces have been evaluated for 17 traits to study the genetic variability, correlations and direct and indirect effect of characters on yield. Results showed that wide range of variations were observed for all 17 traits among the landraces. Moderate to high level of GCV and PCV and high level of heritability were observed for all the traits. PCV was slightly higher than GCV, but the difference was insignificant. The traits such as plant height, number of seeds/plant, number of pods/plant, test weight and seed yield recorded high level of GCV, PCV and heritability. Correlation results showed that seed yield had positive and high correlation (p <0.01) with umber of seeds per plant, number of pods per plant, test weight and seed weight. It was observed that number of seeds per plant had high positive correlation with number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod had high positive correlation with locules per pod. The results of path coefficient analysis showed that no. of seeds per plant and seed weight had very high level to high level of positive direct effect on seed yield. Based on findings, no. of seeds per plant, no. of pods per plant, test weight, no. of flowers per inflorescence and plant height are identified as very important traits in selection for improving the rajma bean yield.

Care Activism
Authors: Tungohan Ethel
Published: May 2024

Care Activism: Migrant Domestic Workers, Movement-Building, and Communities of Care is a landmark book examining migrant domestic workers’ activism in Canada, in transnational forums such as the International Labor Conference’s Discussions on the Convention of Domestic Work and the International Migrants Alliance meetings, and in the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Through the use of feminist interpretive methods, the author undertakes ethnographic research involving 136 one-on-one interviews and participant observation and observant participation of different moments of migrant domestic workers activism, ultimately illustrating how at the heart of it, migrant domestic worker activism is rooted in care activism. As activists, migrant domestic workers desire more than policy changes to engender material improvements in their lives. Rather, their activism revolves around the creation of communities of care that help them and their families survive and even thrive despite arduous working and living conditions, prolonged family separation, and acrimonious experiences with family reunification. In using “care activism” as an analytical framework, the book shows how affective forms of relationships inform the way migrant domestic workers interact with and relate to each other. Migrant domestic worker organizations become crucial spaces where migrant domestic workers become dissident friends who collectively contest harmful policies and structures and who bear witness to each other’s journeys.
Playful Protest
Authors: Soares Kristie
Published: May 2024

This book looks at the social and political work of joy in Latinx media. It defines joy as a politicized form of pleasure, one that not only produces gratification but also unsettles social norms of gender, sexuality, race, and class. The book investigates how joy is operationalized to this end in Puerto Rican and Cuban diasporic media. It contends that when cultural producers perform joy in diasporic Puerto Rican and Cuban media texts—ranging from music, to public activist demonstrations, to sitcoms—they resist the dominant stories told about Latinx joy. Centuries of colonialist and imperialist narratives suggest that joy in Latinx people indicates their lack of intelligence and their docility as political subjects. In response, these creators put forth a version of joy that is central to Latinx social and political struggle, even if it may be incomplete at times. The book provides a culturally specific vocabulary for joy in the Puerto Rican and Cuban diasporic contexts. The types of joy studied are—in chapter order—gozando (loosely, enjoying oneself), “precise” joy, choteo (“kidding” or “playing around with”), azúcar (literally, sugar), dale (loosely, going for it), and silliness. In defining the political to include joy, this book argues that we resist the logics of capitalism and colonialism that assume joy to be outside the purview of activist struggle.
Free to Hate
Authors: Marinos Martin
Published: May 2024

Through a critical political economy approach to media, this book situates the rise of right-wing populism within the broader structural transformations of Bulgarian media institutions. Free to Hate argues that the populist Right benefits greatly from the neoliberal turn in media industries toward commercialization, concentration, and tabloidization. With its multimethod approach that engages in archival sources, ethnographic observations, and oral interviews with local journalists, politicians, and media experts, this book advances a historically and geographically concrete, rigorous analysis conducted over the span of a decade. It begins with an overview of the Bulgarian socialist media system, arguing that the rash decimation of everything deemed “socialist” contributed to the emergence of Far Right discourse. It also traces how the subjugation of state media to the new elites secured the hegemony of anticommunism, which is the ideology that the populist Right feeds on. A significant portion of Free to Hate examines the rise of a media populism facilitated by the concentration and tabloidization of the Bulgarian media market by the Western media giants Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (WAZ) and News Corporation. Additionally, the book addresses the ease with which local capitalists acquire media as well as the difficult work conditions of media professionals. Ultimately, the goal of the book is to locate the points of intersection between these structural changes in media and the emergence of right-wing populism.

Después de la desintegración de la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas (URSS), el movimiento político de izquierda buscó reestructurar sus identidades y modificar sus discursos, ya que el emanado del marxismo de la lucha de clases perdía fuerza. Los movimientos de izquierda política ganaron terreno en muchos países latinoamericanos, logrando persuadir a los electores por medio de sus discursos. Los objetivos de esta investigación fueron determinar la relación entre la identidad socioeconómica que proyectan los candidatos presidenciales de México, Chile, Brasil y Argentina y el éxito en sus campañas políticas entre 2018 y 2022, del mismo modo, identificar y describir las estrategias de imagen y discurso que ejecutaron los candidatos presidenciales ganadores de México, Chile, Brasil y Argentina entre 2018 y 2022. La información recopilada por medio de dos cuadros comparativos se obtuvo a través del análisis de contenido. Los resultados obtenidos demostraron que la identidad socioeconómica que proyectaron los candidatos presidenciales de México, Chile, Brasil y Argentina entre 2018 y 2022, tiene relación directa con el éxito en sus campañas electorales, esto debido a que lograron basar su comunicación en sentimentalismos apoyados de las ideologías en turno y del pensamiento hegemónico basado en la diversidad, inclusión, anti imperialismo, ambientalismo y anti neoliberalismo.

La administración de justicia en Ecuador, en estos años de profusa actividad jurisdiccional-jurisprudencial, ha logrado un despunte en razón de la cantidad de resoluciones y sentencias emitidas, en la delicada tarea de cumplir con el mandato legal de tutelar derechos y garantías en los habitantes de este país, la administración de justicia. Aquello ha significado el agrado de todo el conglomerado que activa una garantía jurisdiccional; no obstante, dentro de este conjunto de actividades judiciales, las garantías jurisdiccionales han sido parte de esta amplia estadística resolutiva, incluyendo los términos y plazos para el conocimiento, trámite, resolución y ejecución que merecen este tipo de demandas y procedimientos, situación que en la realidad y en la práctica, dilatan y retardan el debido trato que merecen estos procesos, aspecto que sucede por cuanto en nuestro sistema judicial, no existen jueces y juezas especializados en garantías jurisdiccionales y derechos humanos, lo cual es óbice a que los principios de eficacia, inmediatez y celeridad que deben tener los procesos constitucionales o de garantías jurisdiccionales. La presente investigación, logró establecer un estudio jurídico y doctrinario del artículo 7 de la Ley Orgánica de Garantías Jurisdiccionales y Control Constitucional, ya que a través de la utilización de métodos de investigación analítico-sintético, y dogmático, se expresará la importancia de reformar este artículo e implementar juzgadores exclusivos y especializados en materia de garantías jurisdiccionales. Asimismo, se otorgará un resultado trascendental, que revela una necesidad antes que un simple trámite administrativo-político, esto es, contar con jueces y juezas especializados en garantías jurisdiccionales.

Los exámenes diagnósticos de Álgebra son herramientas valiosas para evaluar el nivel de conocimiento y las habilidades de los estudiantes al inicio del primer semestre. Al analizar los errores más comunes que se presentan en estos exámenes podemos identificar áreas de oportunidad y desarrollar estrategias de enseñanza efectivas para la adquisición del conocimiento. Esta investigación es un estudio cualitativo efectuado en un plantel foráneo de nivel medio superior del Instituto Politécnico Nacional, el  Centro de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos No. 16 “Hidalgo”, México, donde los profesores de la academia de matemáticas, en la revisión del exámenes para estudiantes de nuevo ingreso, realizó una clasificación de la periodicidad de errores en diferentes semestres a principios del 2022, detectando en ellos la falta de conocimiento en ortografía matemática, propiedades, leyes y axiomas matemáticos básicamente. Ahora bien, al hacer el análisis del examen diagnóstico de los dieciocho grupos de primer semestre del ciclo escolar 24-1 (agosto – diciembre 2023) de la unidad de aprendizaje de Álgebra se ha detectado un aumento en errores matemáticos, básicamente en tres aspectos: notación, conceptos y procedimientos, dando como resultado un incremento notable en el índice de reprobación y rezago académico. Por lo que se realizaron actividades transversales por semana reforzando la parte aritmética, así como la tutoría, ya sea individual o grupal, para casos específicos.

The aim of this study was to investigate the toxic effects on the rat testis of flutamide, bicalutamide, and cyproterone acetate using histopathological methods. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups, control (Group 1), flutamide (Group 2), bicalutamide (Group 3), and cyproterone acetate (Group 4). Physiological saline solution or anti-androgens were administered via oral gavage for 14 days. At the end of the study, the testes were harvested for histological toxic effect scoring. The mean histopathology scores were 0 in Group 1, 0.33 ± 0.81 in Group 2, 1.66 ± 1.36 in Group 3, and 2.93 ± 0.98 in Group 4. The histopathology score in Group 4 was significantly higher than that in Group 1 (p = 0.002), but was not significantly different to those in groups 2 and 3 (p = 0.317 and p = 0.028, respectively). No significant difference was also observed between the other groups. Cyproterone acetate, a steroidal antiandrogen, resulted in significant impairment of testis histology relative to the non-steroidal antiandrogens flutamide and bicalutamide. A non-steroidal agent such as flutamide or bicalutamide should therefore be selected if antiandrogen therapy is to be initiated for reasons such as acne, hirsutism, and paraphilias, particularly in young males.

Purpose: Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), which is quantified by apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), can predict tissue microstructure. It has become an essential part of the gynecological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol. In our study it was aimed to evaluate the value of the maximum, mean, and minimum ADC values of the cervix-parametrium boundary to estimate parametrial invasion for cervix carcinoma.
Material and Method: Totally 50 patients with cervical carcinoma, 18 of which had no parametrial invasion (4811-year-old) and 32 had parametrial invasion (5812-year-old) according to conventional T2 weighted imaging were enrolled. Maximum, mean, and minimum ADC values of cervix-parametrium boundary of primary tumors were statistically compared between the groups without and with parametrial invasion. The diagnostic performances of the maximum, mean and minimum ADC values were evaluated by ROC analysis in terms of estimating parametrial invasion.
Results: The mean maximum, mean and minimum ADC values were lower for the patients with parametrial invasion. However, only the minimum ADC values had statistically significant differences between the groups. ROC analysis showed an AUC value of 0.726 for minimum ADC in estimating parametrial invasion. A minimum ADC cut-off value of 0.553x10-3 mm2/s had a sensitivity of 63%, specificity of 73%, negative predictive value of 52% and positive predictive value of 80% and accuracy of 66%.
Conclusions: ADC values can be applied for the determination of parametrial invasion of cervical carcinoma. Lower minimum ADC values obtained from cervix-parametrium boundary of primary cervical carcinoma may help parametrial invasion. Especially positive predictive value of the cervix-parametrium boundary ADC is remarkable.
