Published: March 2021

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a relatively simple procedure, but the complications can quickly become life-threating. The aim of this study was to investigate based on our experience when is best to follow a conservative protocol in postoperative bleeding after sleeve gastrectomy. The study is retrospective, we identified a number of 150 cases of sleeve gastrectomy, of which 18 has postoperative bleeding.  A conservative approach with close observation (ultrasound, CT, Hb levels) was practiced in 10 cases and no surgical intervention was required.  The recommendations are as follows: The first and obvious recommendation is to stop anticoagulants. The perigastric drainage should drain, if Hb levels go down an nothing is coming through the drain consider other sources of bleed or try to reopen the blocked drain. A blood cloth developed around the bleeder may maintain the active bleed due to local fibrinolysis, in these cases, one should take into consideration guided drainage (ultrasound/CT) and monitor Hb levels afterward. The presence of a small perigastric collection without clinical manifestation should be left as such. Take into consideration reintervention if: signs of hypovolemia are present (tachycardia, hypotension, profuse sweating), Hb below 7g/dL. The patient's clinical state should always play an important role in decision making.

Published: March 2021

Synovial chondromatosis is rare condition, a benign proliferation of the synovial membrane, with the possibility of forming large masses that produce cartilaginous bodies, that can either  remain attached to the synovium or can detach and float in the joint, producing mechanical damage to the joint surfaces. The cartilaginous bodies can, in time, transform, ossifying and later developing bone marrow or, in very rare cases, it may suffer malignant transformation to chondrosarcoma. We present a case of a 28 years old male, with synovial chondromatosis of the left shoulder, comprising of two large synovial masses, one extended into the axillary recess and long head of biceps tendon sheath and another large mass expanded towards the anterior thoracic wall and subclavian space. We treated the case in two stages, first by open surgical procedure with resection of the synovial mass, and secondary through the arthroscopic approach, with excision of the loose bodies and synovectomy by cauterization.

Carcinoma stomach is a condition that occurs due to various causes. In order to diagnose a case ofcarcinoma stomach, a high index of suspicion is required. A detailed history and a thorough clinicalexamination must be done. Patients may have various complaints such as vomiting, abdominal painand anemia. Diet has also been shown to play a role in the occurrence of carcinoma stomach. Thepatient’s socio-economic status also plays a very important role in the incidence of carcinomastomach. Various investigations are available today in order to diagnose a case of carcinomastomach. Investigations such as upper GI endoscopy are very useful to visualize a growth in thestomach and to take tissue for biopsy. A contrast enhanced CT (CECT) scan of the abdomen is alsovery useful to diagnose the stomach neoplasia as well as to find out if any metastatic lesions arepresent. On histopathology, adenocarcinoma is the most common type of carcinoma that may befound. Other tumors such as GI stromal tumors and lymphomas may also be found. Treatment ofcarcinoma involves surgery as well as chemotherapy. Our study was carried out from March 2015to February 2019. The study was carried out at SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Center,Kattankulathur, Tamil Nadu, India. The total number of patients studied was 75.

The evolution of modern medicine, in its continuous developing process, is highly connected with the progress achieved in the medical branch of technology. Regarding the surgical specialties, the technological progress breakthroughs may determine the appearance of new diagnosis techniques, but also shape innovative treatments, leading to superior therapeutic results. In the surgical treatment as a whole, an essential role is played by the Medical Imagistics. They either offer the much-needed visual support in order to reach an accurate diagnosis, or guide the surgeon in choosing a certain type of intervention. The importance of Imagistics is indisputable. It has also been proven so in intraoperatory guidance and monitoring the patient in post-surgery. In the evolution of medical Imagistics, after the transition to digital imaging, followed by graphic 3D reconstructions based on CT and MRI data, we find ourselves contemporary with a new turning point announcing a technological revolution: the transition from virtual 3D models to tangible 3D replica. Since the beginning, the 3D printing technology has been of great importance to the field of medical research and, once the technique gained popularity, it became a modern tool for many medical specialties, in particular for cranio-maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics, oncology, neurosurgery. The 3D printing technology managed to transgress dated barriers by facilitating the manufacturing of implants or implement new treatments in regenerative medicine. The purpose of this original paper is to present our 3D printing work protocol and general conclusions after 5 years of implementing 3D printing in pediatric orthopedics.

Published: March 2021

Peripheral nerve sheath tumor (PNST) is known as a benign tumor called Schwannomas, developed from the Schwann cells that produce myelin and collagen, and can occur in a wide variety of locations. In some cases, it can take a malignant turn and grow as a pelvic mass known as malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), malignant schwannoma, malignant neurofibroma, malignant mesenchynoma and neurogenic sarcoma. Our case report presents a female patient presenting dysuria and pelvic pain. The clinical examination revealed a palpable mass in the lower abdomen. The computer tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvic region showed a tumor mass that was in contact with the nearby organs, but not infiltrating them. After the surgery, histopathology confirmed the MPNST proliferation. A month after, the patient returned for a follow-up and presenting pelvic pain. The CT scan of the abdomen and pelvic region showed a tumoral mass compressing the nearby organs, but not infiltrating them. The patient was referred to oncology board for palliative treatment. The particularity of this case report is the short period of time recurrence of the MPNST, rather than metastases. The most important treatment for MPNSTs remains surgery, trying to achieve negative margins. However, there have been reported two cases of unresectable MPSNT with partial remission to chemo- and radiotherapy.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LITERACY MOVEMENT IN SOCIETY
Authors: Prihatin Yulianah
Published: March 2021

The low interest in reading in Indonesia requires educational institutions to create innovations to help increase people's interest in reading. In 2011, based on data from the World’s Most Literate Nations, Indonesia was in 60th place regarding the reading interest of its population. The order is classified as low compared to other countries. Currently, the government has created the National Literacy Movement as an effort to increase the percentage of people's reading interest. However, it needs to be supported by many parties. Based on this, the KKNT team in the village of Marmoyo made an innovation to establish a Smart House so that people love reading more, especially reading fairy tales to their children. Fairy tales are a form of folklore that develops both orally and in writing. Regions in Indonesia have thousands of fairy tales that deserve to be preserved, this is because the younger generation knows and knows the developing fairy tales. In addition, the activity of reading fairy tales to children (ndongeng) is proven to be able to instill character and create closeness between parents and children. The method for this service is carried out by analyzing partner situations, reviewing literature / references related to the PKM theme, implementing fairy tale reading training with an interesting method in the village of Marmoyo for two days, cultivating reading fairy tales through a smart house. The fairy tale reading training program and the application of the Smart House in the village of Marmoyo are proven to be able to change the people's mindset about the benefits of fairy tales, and make it easier for people to find reading material.

Authors: Yun Hyeok Jun , Kim Hee Jun , Kim Soo Young , Lee Yong Sang , Lim Chi Young , Chang Hang-Seok , Park Cheong Soo
Published: March 2021

Background

IBM’s Watson for Oncology (WFO) is an artificial intelligence tool that trains by acquiring data from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and learns from test cases and experts. This study aimed to analyze the adequacy and effectiveness of WFO in determining the treatment method for patients with thyroid carcinoma.

Materials and Methods

We retrospectively enrolled 50 patients with thyroid cancer who underwent surgery in 2018 and entered their clinical data into WFO. The WFO treatment recommendations were compared with the surgical procedures and recommended treatments performed according to the Korean Thyroid Endocrine Surgery Association guidelines.

Results

The overall concordance rate between WFO-recommended treatments and actual surgical treatments was 48%, and for patients with stage I, II, and III disease, these rates were 52.4, 50, and 16.7%, respectively. A lower concordance rate was observed with respect to treatment for advanced thyroid cancer.

Conclusion

WFO is a useful clinical aid but must be used with caution. A surgeon’s decision takes precedence over WFO recommendations in the treatment of advanced thyroid cancer.
CRISPR/Cas: Advances, Limitations, and Applications for Precision Cancer Research
Authors: Yang Yue , Xu Jin , Ge Shuyu , Lai Liqin
Published: March 2021

Cancer is one of the most leading causes of mortalities worldwide. It is caused by the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations in 2 types of genes: tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) and proto-oncogenes. In recent years, development of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technology has revolutionized genome engineering for different cancer research ranging for research ranging from fundamental science to translational medicine and precise cancer treatment. The CRISPR/CRISPR associated proteins (CRISPR/Cas) are prokaryote-derived genome editing systems that have enabled researchers to detect, image, manipulate and annotate specific DNA and RNA sequences in various types of living cells. The CRISPR/Cas systems have significant contributions to discovery of proto-oncogenes and TSGs, tumor cell epigenome normalization, targeted delivery, identification of drug resistance mechanisms, development of high-throughput genetic screening, tumor models establishment, and cancer immunotherapy and gene therapy in clinics. Robust technical improvements in CRISPR/Cas systems have shown a considerable degree of efficacy, specificity, and flexibility to target the specific locus in the genome for the desired applications. Recent developments in CRISPRs technology offers a significant hope of medical cure against cancer and other deadly diseases. Despite significant improvements in this field, several technical challenges need to be addressed, such as off-target activity, insufficient indel or low homology-directed repair (HDR) efficiency, in vivo delivery of the Cas system components, and immune responses. This study aims to overview the recent technological advancements, preclinical and perspectives on clinical applications of CRISPR along with their advantages and limitations. Moreover, the potential applications of CRISPR/Cas in precise cancer tumor research, genetic, and other precise cancer treatments discussed.
Estimating and Correcting for Off-Target Cellular Contamination in Brain Cell Type Specific RNA-Seq Data

Published: March 2021

Transcriptionally profiling minor cellular populations remains an ongoing challenge in molecular genomics. Single-cell RNA sequencing has provided valuable insights into a number of hypotheses, but practical and analytical challenges have limited its widespread adoption. A similar approach, which we term single-cell type RNA sequencing (sctRNA-seq), involves the enrichment and sequencing of a pool of cells, yielding cell type-level resolution transcriptomes. While this approach offers benefits in terms of mRNA sampling from targeted cell types, it is potentially affected by off-target contamination from surrounding cell types. Here, we leveraged single-cell sequencing datasets to apply a computational approach for estimating and controlling the amount of off-target cell type contamination in sctRNA-seq datasets. In datasets obtained using a number of technologies for cell purification, we found that most sctRNA-seq datasets tended to show some amount of off-target mRNA contamination from surrounding cells. However, using covariates for cellular contamination in downstream differential expression analyses increased the quality of our models for differential expression analysis in case/control comparisons and typically resulted in the discovery of more differentially expressed genes. In general, our method provides a flexible approach for detecting and controlling off-target cell type contamination in sctRNA-seq datasets.

Published: March 2021

Radiopharmaceuticals are reemerging as attractive anticancer agents, but there are no universally adopted guidelines or standardized procedures for evaluating agent validity before early-phase trial implementation. To validate a radiopharmaceutical, it is desirous for the radiopharmaceutical to be specific, selective, and deliverable against tumors of a given, molecularly defined cancer for which it is intended to treat. In this article, we discuss four levels of evidence—target antigen immunohistochemistry, in vitro and in vivo preclinical experiments, animal biodistribution and dosimetry studies, and first-in-human microdose biodistribution studies—that might be used to justify oncology therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals in a drug-development sequence involving early-phase trials. We discuss common practices for validating radiopharmaceuticals for clinical use, everyday pitfalls, and commonplace operationalizing steps for radiopharmaceutical early-phase trials. We anticipate in the near-term that radiopharmaceutical trials will become a larger proportion of the National Cancer Institute Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) portfolio.
Children’s and Adults’ Sensitivity to Gricean Maxims and to the Maximize Presupposition Principle
Authors: Panzeri Francesca , Foppolo Francesca
Published: March 2021

Up to age 5, children are known to experience difficulties in the derivation of implicitly conveyed content, sticking to literally true, even if underinformative, interpretation of sentences. The computation of implicated meanings is connected to the (apparent or manifest) violation of Gricean conversational maxims. We present a study that tests unmotivated violations of the maxims of Quantity, Relevance, and Manner and of the Maximize Presupposition principle, with a Truth Value Judgment task with three options of response. We tested pre-schoolers and school-aged children, with adults as controls, to verify at which age these pragmatic rules are recognized and to see whether there is a difference among these tenets. We found an evolutionary trend and that, in all age groups, violations of the maxims of Quantity and of Relation are sanctioned to a higher degree compared to infringements of the Maim of Manner and of the Maximize Presupposition principle. We conjecture that this relates to the effects that the violation of a certain maxim or principle has on the goals of the exchange: listeners are less tolerant with statements that transmit inaccurate or incomplete information, while being more tolerant with those that still permit to understand what has happened.

Authors: Siedenburg Johannes Sebastian , Dupré Gilles
Published: March 2021

Relative macroglossia has been identified in brachycephalic compared to mesaticephalic dogs. This study assessed the tongue volume comparing three common brachycephalic breeds, including 30 French bulldogs, 30 pugs, and 15 English bulldogs. Computed tomography scans of intubated dogs with the hard palate suspended were examined for total tongue volume and cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of the tongue, oropharynx, soft palate, and nasopharyngeal airways at three levels: 1, caudal tip of the hard palate; 2, caudal tip of the hamulus; 3 cranial to the basihyoid bone. Tongue volume normalized to bodyweight, was significantly higher in English and French bulldogs than in pugs. Normalized to skull length, CSA of the tongue was smaller in pugs than in French and English bulldogs. At level 3, French bulldogs had larger oropharyngeal CSA than English bulldogs and pugs. Soft palate CSA was the largest in English bulldogs at level 3. At levels 1 and 2, soft palate and nasopharyngeal CSA was the smallest in pugs. At level 3, French bulldogs had higher total airway/soft tissue ratios than pugs. The smaller tongue volume in pugs questions the accuracy of the term macroglossia in this breed and these findings should be considered if surgical correction is sought.

Del jazz al rap. De la reproducción mecánica a la reproducción digital de la música negra norteamericana
Authors: González Sánchez Igael
Published: March 2021

Este trabajo explora el paso de la reproducción mecánica a la era de la reproducción digital, en el ámbito especifico de la música popular norteamericana. Se retoman conceptos y algunas reflexiones iniciadas en la Escuela de Frankfurt por Theodor W. Adorno y Walter Benjamin, particularmente aquellas sobre la industria de la música. Estas se establecen como punto de partida y como marco interpretativo, a partir de los nexos entre las manifestaciones musicales y el cambio tecnológico y estructural. La música popular norteamericana (particularmente el jazz y el rap) y la industria discográfica que se edifica en torno a ella brindan uno de los mejores ejemplos sobre la incorporación de la música afronorteamericana a la llamada era de la reproducción mecánica y, con la emergencia del rap, a la música reproducida digitalmente.
La investigación etnomusicológica en México, ¿legítimos tiempos de transformación o perenne austeridad institucional?
Authors: Ruiz Rodríguez Carlos
Published: March 2021

En 2018, con la llegada al poder gubernamental de uno de los partidos políticos que presumía ideología política de izquierda, México vislumbraba un tiempo de profundos cambios que incidieran en la sociedad y en la propia configuración del Estado mexicano. Las políticas neoliberales de las últimas tres décadas habían intensificado graves problemas nacionales como la corrupción, la pobreza, la inseguridad y la violencia de género. En ese contexto, el plan del nuevo gobierno para transformar el país postulaba al sector cultural como importante eje de recuperación del tejido social. Sin embargo, los recortes presupuestales impuestos por el actual gobierno a ese sector distan de poder convertirle en el deseado “eje transformador” que se planteaba. El presente escrito ofrece un panorama de las condiciones actuales de la investigación etnomusicológica en el ámbito cultural institucional en relación con las políticas culturales del Estado y del lugar que ocupa esta disciplina en el seno académico. El acercamiento se enfoca en los desafíos que se presentan a la investigación etnomusicológica en la actual coyuntura política de las instituciones públicas y en el importante papel que desde hace veinte años ha adquirido la investigación musical realizada por centros de investigación y universidades estatales.

Schools in Africa have not given much attention to technical education. “Technical education is the kind of training that concerns a particular aspect of science, occupation or profession which has both theoretical and practical instructions that are given to those who are going to be employed in commerce and industry using tools and machinery for the operation, production, preservation and distribution of goods and services.” Unfortunately, this aspect of education has suffered neglect for many years. This could be the main reason Africa is still backward technologically. This paper attempts to examine the concept of technical education as a key to industrialization in Africa, the importance and role of technical education in African industrial advancement, and the challenges facing technical education in Africa. The paper has concluded that technical education takes the lead for industrialization in Africa because through it, youths and adults will be equipped with the requisite skills and knowledge needed for economic growth and development.

Az elmúlt két évtizedben jelentős számban növekedett a történeti kertek helyszíni kutatása Magyarországon. A kutatások minden esetben beruházásokhoz, kertrekonstrukciókhoz, műemléképületek, kastélyok és környezetük felújításához, helyreállításához kapcsolódtak. Ezek során olyan tapasztalatok halmozódtak, halmozódhattak fel, amelyeket érdemes számba venni, áttekinteni, és a kutatótársak, a tájépítészek és az örökségvédelemben dolgozó építészek, továbbá az érdeklődők elé tárni. E cikk keretében előbb röviden áttekintjük a kutatások általános tapasztalatait, kitérve az előkészítő munkarészekre és érintőlegesen tárgyalva az örökségvédelmi hatóság felé való kötelezettségeket, – miközben a jogi hátteret adó törvények és kormányrendeletek szerinti szabályozást és eljárást, valamint annak problémáit, ellentmondásait nem tárgyaljuk – majd néhány konkrét kert kutatásából vett példákkal illusztrálnánk a leírtakat. Legutóbb Fatsar Kristóf tájépítész tekintette át részletesen e folyóirat hasábjain a történeti kertekben folytatott kutatások összetett eljárásait 2009-ben.
