Authors: Elmonim Samar M A , Elsharawy Dalia E , Elsheikh Raghda G , Elkholy Mohamed G A
Published: November 2023

Background

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) presumably has an impact on 1% or less of the world’s population. Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) is essential for determining PH problems. RHC determines prognosis and offers helpful information on the degree of hemodynamic impairment. Therefore, this comparative study was carried out to determine the diagnostic role, pitfalls associated, and complications encountered during RHC in suspected cases of PAH and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).

Methods

The observational cohort study was conducted on 75 patients with clinical suspicion of PH and CTEPH. All patients were subjected to full history taking, ECG, Echocardiography, and radiological investigations including Chest radiography (CXR), high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography.

Results

The mean pulmonary artery mean pressure (PAMP) was 46.05 ± 9.631 mmHg, the mean Pulmonary artery dilatation (PAD) was 30.04 ± 1.082 mm the mean ejection fraction (EF%) was 63.87%, the mean right ventricular diameter was 45.83 ± 0.444 mm. The mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) was 10.91 ± 2.303 mmHg, and the mean cardiac output (CO) was 4.00 ± 0.773 L/min mean cardiac index (CI) was 1.94 ± 0.416 L/min/m2. Doppler echocardiographic estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (DE-ePASP) and estimated pulmonary, artery, end-diastolic pressure (ePADP) significantly positively correlated with RHC-PASP (P < 0.001) and mean DE-ePAP significantly positively Correlated with mean RHC-PAP (P < 0.001).

Conclusions

RHC is still the only method that can completely and accurately diagnose PAH. however, the combination between right cardiac catheterization and echocardiography provides a more accurate diagnosis of the diseases and their complications.

Published: November 2023

Context

Parapneumonic effusion and empyema are commonly encountered by the pulmonologist. The decision regarding management is still challenging.

Aim

To compare outcomes of intrapleural streptokinase with pigtail catheter drainage versus medical thoracoscopy in complicated parapneumonic effusion.

Methods and material

Forty patients with complicated parapneumonic effusion were randomly allocated to one of two groups. Twenty patients underwent streptokinase intrapleural instillation via pigtail catheter. The other twenty patients underwent medical thoracoscopy.

Results

Intrapleural streptokinase instillation procedure was significantly shorter duration (12.80 ± 3.05 min) than medical thoracoscopy procedure (25.26 ± 4.66 min). However medical thoracoscopy showed a significant less days required to remove the drainage system (5.80 ± 1.70 days) versus intrapleural streptokinase instillation procedure (9.40 ± 3.91 days). Both groups had no significant complications. Lung expansion was achieved in 90% of patients treated with intrapleural streptokinase instillation and in 95% of patients treated with a medical thoracoscopy technique, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups.

Conclusions

Treatment of complicated parapneumonic effusions is undeniably interdisciplinary. Both intrapleural streptokinase with pigtail catheter drainage and medical thoracoscopy are safe and improve outcomes in complicated parapneumonic effusion. Medical thoracoscopy has an advantage of fewer days required for tube withdrawal. Pigtail insertion has an advantage of shorter procedure time compared to medical thoracoscopy
Anesthetic management of a case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis for whole lung lavage
Authors: Seth Manik , Kachru Nishtha , Kohli Santvana , Balakrishnan Ira , Chauhan Richa , Kumar Virendra
Published: November 2023

Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease of the lungs characterized by deposition of lipo-proteinaceous material in the alveoli. This leads to reduced lung compliance and V/Q mismatch, causing respiratory failure. Patients with PAP may be posted for Whole Lung Lavage (WLL) under anesthesia, which is a challenging case for anesthetists. Preexisting respiratory failure is complicated by requirement of single lung ventilation with the help of double lumen tube during the procedure. Intraoperative ventilation is difficult and is managed with blood gas and airway pressure monitoring. Some degree of hypoxemia and hypercapnia may have to be tolerated. Large volumes of fluid are instilled into the lung which may cause hypothermia, hypervolemia, and electrolyte disturbances. These patients frequently require elective ventilation and intensive care admission in the postoperative period.

We report the case of a young woman with PAP, posted for unilateral WLL under anesthesia. We wish to highlight the possible challenges posed by this case and how to conduct a safe anesthesia for this patient.

Authors: Gupta Arunima , Somasundaram Venkatesan , Tripathi Preeti , Kular Janmeet , Singh Kanwal Jeet , Bhatia Jasvinder Kaur
Published: November 2023

Background:

The leukemic microenvironment has become an area of interest for researchers in recent times. Nonmalignant T and B lymphocytes form a significant part of leukemic microenvironment and are postulated to have an effect on its progression and behavior. These lymphocytes are constantly interacting with blasts and are actively involved in innate and acquired immune responses against these blasts. We decided to look at the role of T-regulatory lymphocytes in tumor surveillance and treatment outcome.

Aim and Objectives:

The aims and objectives of the study are to evaluate the role of T-regulatory lymphocytes in acute leukemia cases and its correlation with treatment outcome.

Materials and Methods:

We evaluated consecutive 55 acute leukemia cases to investigate the prognostic effect of T-regulatory cells (T-regs) in acute leukemia. The study period was between January 2021 and December 2021. All patients whose complete records were available till the completion of induction were included in the study. The immunophenotype used to characterize and evaluate T-regs was CD4+CD25+ T lymphocytes. For comparison, a total of 10 healthy controls were included in the study. Clinicohematological parameters including fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, extramedullary involvement, day 1 total leukocyte count, and blast percentage in peripheral blood and bone marrow were studied and documented to establish any possible correlation with T-regs percentage and treatment outcome. The treatment outcome evaluated in the study was complete remission postfirst induction.

Results:

As compared to those of healthy participants, the frequencies of CD4+CD25+ T-regs in the peripheral blood of acute leukemia patients were significantly increased (1.5% [range: 0.50%–4.3%] vs. 0.58% [range: 0.40%–1.05%], P = 0.0001). Furthermore, the frequencies of CD4+CD25+ T-regs in the peripheral blood of acute leukemia patients who did not achieve remission were significantly increased as compared to those who achieved remission (2.9% [range: 0.20%–4.3%] vs. 1.3% [range: 0.30%–2.9%], P = 0.002). No significant correlation was noted in the T-reg cells and parameters such as fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, extramedullary involvement, day 1 total leukocyte count, and blast percentage.

Conclusion:

This study suggests the possibility of using T-regs percentages as a prognostic indicator of acute leukemia and possible role of anti-T-regulatory immunomodulators in improving the outcome of disease.

Outage Probability Analysis of Multi-hop Relay Aided IoT Networks
Authors: Wei Fusheng , Huang Jiajia , Zhao Jingming , Que Huakun
Published: November 2023

This study delves into Internet of Things (IoT) networks wherein a transmitting source communicates information to a designated recipient. The presence of signal attenuation challenges the direct transmission of information from the source to the recipient. To surmount this obstacle, we investigate IoT network communication facilitated by multi-hop relays, whereby multiple relays collaboratively enable the conveyance of data from the source to the recipient across intermediate stages. For the considered IoT networks augmented by multi-hop relays, we assess the performance of the system by analyzing the probability of transmission outage. This analysis entails the derivation of an analytical expression for evaluating the occurrence of IoT network outage. Additionally, we gauge the system's effectiveness by examining the attainable transmission rate, wherein an analytical expression is furnished to assess the IoT data rate. The empirical results, along with the analytical findings, are subsequently presented to validate the formulated expressions in the context of IoT networks empowered by multi-hop relays. Notably, the utilization of multi-hop relaying emerges as a efficacious strategy for substantially expanding the coverage scope of IoT networks.

Published: November 2023

Purpose Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare aggressive subtype of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with limited therapeutic strategies. We attempted to elucidate the evolutionary trajectories of PSC using multiregional and longitudinal tumor samples.Materials and Methods A total of 31 patients were enrolled in this study and 11 longitudinal samples were available from them. Using whole exome sequencing data, we analyzed the mutational signatures in both carcinomatous and sarcomatous areas in primary tumors of the 31 patients and longitudinal samples obtained from 11 patients. Furthermore, digital droplet polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR), and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry using the Ventana SP263 assay were performed.Results TP53 was identified as the most frequently altered gene in the primary (74%) and metastatic (73%) samples. MET exon 14 skipping mutations, confirmed by ddPCR, and TP53 mutations were mutually exclusive; whereas, MET exon 14 skipping mutations frequently co-occurred with MDM2 amplification. Metastatic tumors showed dissimilar genetic profiles from either primary component. During metastasis, the signatures of APOBEC decreased in metastatic lesions compared with that in primary lesions. PSC showed higher MET and KEAP1 mutations and stronger PD-L1 protein expression compared with that recorded in other NSCLCs.Conclusion Decreased APOBEC signatures and subclonal diversity were detected during malignant progression in PSC. Frequent MET mutations and strong PD-L1 expression distinguished PSC from other NSCLCs. The aggressiveness and therapeutic difficulties of PSC were possibly attributable to profound intratumoral and intertumoral genetic diversity. Next-generation sequencing could suggest the appropriate treatment strategy for PSC.
Tangle equations, the Jones conjecture, slopes of surfaces in tangle complements, andq-deformed rationals
Authors: Sikora Adam S.
Published: November 2023

We study systems of two-tangle equations$$ \begin{align*}\begin{cases} N(X+T_1)=L_1,\\ N(X+T_2)=L_2, \end{cases}\end{align*} $$which play an important role in the analysis of enzyme actions on DNA strands.

We show that every system of framed tangle equations has at most one-framed rational solution. Furthermore, we show that the Jones unknot conjecture implies that if a system of tangle equations has a rational solution, then that solution is unique among all two-tangles. This result potentially opens a door to a purely topological disproof of the Jones unknot conjecture.

We introduce the notion of the Kauffman bracket ratio$\{T\}_q\in \mathbb Q(q)$of any two-tangleTand we conjecture that for$q=1$it is the slope of meridionally incompressible surfaces in$D^3-T$. We prove that conjecture for algebraicT. We also prove that for rationalT, the brackets$\{T\}_q$coincide with theq-rationals of Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko.

Additionally, we relate systems of tangle equations to the cosmetic surgery conjecture and the nugatory crossing conjecture.
On computational properties of Cauchy problems generated by accretive operators
Authors: Pinto Pedro , Pischke Nicholas
Published: November 2023

In this paper, we provide quantitative versions of results on the asymptotic behavior of
nonlinear semigroups generated by an accretive operator due to O. Nevanlinna and S. Reich as well
as H.-K. Xu. These results themselves rely on a particular assumption on the underlying operator
introduced by A. Pazy under the name of “convergence condition”. Based on logical techniques from
“proof mining”, a subdiscipline of mathematical logic, we derive various notions of a “convergence
condition with modulus” which provide quantitative information on this condition in different ways.
These techniques then also facilitate the extraction of quantitative information on the convergence
results of Nevanlinna and Reich as well as Xu, in particular also in the form of rates of convergence
which depend on these moduli for the convergence condition.
Quasi-isogeny groups of supersingular abelian surfaces via pro-étale fundamental groups
Authors: van den Hove Thibaud
Published: November 2023

We consider a

J_b (\mathbb{Q}_{p})

on the supersingular locus of the Siegel threefold constructed by Caraiani–Scholze, and show that it induces an isomorphism between a free group on a
finite number of generators, and the group of self-quasi-isogenies of a supersingular abelian surface,
respecting a principal polarization and a prime-to-

p

level structure. Along the way, we classify certain pro-étale torsors in terms of the pro-étale fundamental group, describe the category of geometric covers of non-normal schemes, and use this to compute pro-étale fundamental groups of curves.

Operator-norm Trotter product formula on Banach spaces
Authors: Zagrebnov Valentin Anatol'evich
Published: November 2023

Proof of the operator-norm convergent Trotter product formula on a Banach space is unexpectedly elaborate and a few of known results are based on assumption that at least one of the semigroups involved into this formula is holomorphic. Here we present an example of the operator-norm convergent Trotter product formula on a Banach space, where this condition is relaxed to demand that involved semigroups are contractive.
Fermions from classical probability and statistics defined by stochastic independence
Authors: Accardi Luigi , Lu Yun Gang
Published: November 2023

The case study of fermions and the attempt to deduce their structure from classical probability opens new ways for classical and quantum probability, in particular, for the notion of stochastic coupling which, on the basis of the example of fermions, we enlarge to the notion of algebraic coupling, and for the various notions of stochastic independence. These notions are shown to be strictly correlated with algebraic and stochastic couplings. This approach allows to expand considerably the notion of open system. The above statements will be illustrated with some examples. The last section shows how, from these new stochastic couplings, new statistics emerge alongside the known Maxwell-Boltzmann, Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics.

Authors: Aleksić Jana
Published: November 2023

Milan Kašanin (1895–1981) in his integral study of medieval Serbian culture pays significant attention to the works and authors who created in the time of King Stefan Uroš II Milutin Nemanjića (1282–1321). Kašanin’s analysis also includes medieval literary and artistic achievements whose central theme is the King's personality and symbols of rule, as well as the spiritual and socio-histor- ical characteristics of the era the era of this important founder and great artistic patron. The author of the monographs Serbian Literature in the Middle Ages (1975) and Stone Discoveries (1978) seeks to systematize knowledge of the cul- tural past, to explain the spiritual and historical forces of the time, to understand Byzantine influences on art forms and meanings, to find elements of original art within medieval Serbian culture and to establish the most reliable periodization of literary and artistic styles. Methodologically, in examining the key focuses of a historically limited period, such as the Middle Ages, Kašanin insists on mutual “illumination of art”. He also connects the poetic and spiritual-aesthetic features of specific literary achievements with medieval church and secular architecture, fresco painting or icon painting, but also with socio-political factors. Therefore, we tried to outline the analytical and methodological framework of Kašanin’s spiritual, historical, and aesthetic thought from the point of view of the history of literary criticism, concerning the way in which he had perceived and named the artistic forms of Milutin’s epoch, art forms in which Milutin’s age and literary achievements of monk Theodosius and archbishop Danilo II.

This study aims to determine: (1) the difference in the influence between internal imagery and external imagery exercises on the accuracy of free throws; (2) the difference in the influence of players who have high and low concentrations on the accuracy of free throws; and (3) the interaction between internal imagery and external imagery exercises and the concentration on the accuracy of free throws in basketball players. This type of research is an experiment using a 2 x 2 factorial design. The population in this study was 38 basketball SME players from Universitas Islam Indonesia. The sample in this study was 20 people who were taken using purposive sampling techniques, then ordinal pairing was carried out to divide each group. The instrument used is to measure concentration, namely the Grid Concentration Test, while the accuracy of free throw uses a free throw test. The data analysis technique used is a two-way ANOVA. The results showed that: (1) There was a significant difference in influence between internal imagery and external imagery exercises on the accuracy of free throws in basketball players, with an F value of 51.984 and a significance value of p 0.000 < 0.05. The internal imagery exercise group was higher (good) compared to the external imagery exercise group with a posttest average difference of 4.00. (2) There is a significant difference in influence between players who have high and low concentrations on the accuracy of a basketball player's free throw, proven by an F value of 38.416 and a p-significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Players who have a high concentration are higher (good) compared to players who have a low concentration, with a posttest average difference of 4.00. (3) There is a significant interaction between imagery exercises (internal imagery and external imagery) and concentration (high and low) on the accuracy of a basketball player's free throw, with an F value of 4.264 and a significance value of p 0.047 < 0.05.

Published: November 2023

Body percussion is an emerging subject that has experienced an exponential growth in the last decade. The aim of this study is to present the state of the art of body percussion from 2001 to 2022 based on documents indexed in primary and secondary search engines with emphasis on gender and impact of publications. A sample of N=245 documents was selected, with n=72 obtained from the main primary search engines (Web of Science, Scopus), and n=173 from secondary search engines (Dialnet, JSTOR, RUA, Springer or DOAJ among others). We used an ex post facto retrospective design in the historiographic bibliometric variant and a frequency analysis using Microsoft Excel. Compared to existing works, it presented a more exhaustive analysis and substantial changes in the variables in terms of search engines, gender analysis, document impact and authors' h-index. The main results showed that the literature published in Spain and written in Spanish in book chapter format and indexed in secondary search engines prevails; that although there is a greater number of female authors, there is a predominance of works written by only men and a greater male participation; and that the educational field, at the Primary Education stage, is the most investigated through quantitative intervention studies, quasi-experimental design, control and experimental group, and repeated measures (pretest-posttest) with validated test as the main evaluation instrument.

Comparing the “value of information services” for providers and vulnerable patrons: a mixed-methods study with academic libraries and students with disabilities
Authors: Potnis Devendra , Mallary Kevin
Published: November 2023

Introduction. This multi-year, mixed-methods study compares (a) the reasons administrators and librarians of academic libraries invest in assistive technology for delivering information services to students with disabilities, with (b) the benefits that influence these students’ intention to use AT.
Method. In the first phase, 50 library administrators and 22 librarians from 186 public universities across the US shared their top-three reasons for investing in assistive technology through a qualitative survey. In the second phase, 322 students with disabilities from the same institutions completed a quantitative survey, in which respondents shared individual-level benefits that influence their intention to use assistive technology.
Analysis. We utilised thematic analysis and structural equation modelling to analyse data in the first and second phases, respectively.Results. Three individual, three organisational, and three societal benefits prompt academic libraries’ investment in assistive technology. However, only two individual benefits – increasing information literacy and completing academic tasks – significantly influence the intention of students with disabilities to use the technology. In addition, neither academic libraries nor students, perceive the technology to be valuable for enhancing autonomy and the self (i.e., self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-image) of students with disabilities.
Conclusion. Implications for academic libraries that provide information services to students with disabilities are discussed at the end.

Authors: Vardell Emily , Thomas Paul , Wang Ting
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Research on personal information practices has increased in recent decades. Building on this current of thought, the present study explores information practices in the context of serious leisure, looking specifically at the Rey Cosplay Community Facebook group, an online community of Star Wars cosplayers. The work discusses how these fans seek, organize, and share relevant information during the process of making costumes.
Method. This study used participant observation and semi-structured interviews to investigate information behaviours, including information seeking, organization, use, and sharing, of seventeen members in the Rey Cosplay Community with a purposive sampling strategy.
Analysis. The researchers transcribed and jointly coded the collected data with an open coding scheme to identify themes that emerged from the data.
Results. The cosplayers used a myriad of tools to seek, organize, and share information about costume making. Participants identified that their information practices had evolved over time, and they shared sophisticated strategies for sharing work-in-progress photos and updates as well as methods for organizing information for later use.
Conclusion. There are a variety of information practices used when making a costume. Participants often seek and acquire relevant information on online platforms and use a combination of traditional physical tools and modern electronic tools to organize information. They also display a rich culture of sharing information when responding to other fans’ information needs. The overall structure that these information practices take can be neatly articulated as a sort of informational “cosplay journey”.
