Design Application for Balinese Songket Weaving Motif
Authors: Pebryani Nyoman Dewi , Ratna, C.S. Tjok Istri , Manik Prihatini Putu
Published: July 2022

Songket weaving is an Indonesian cultural heritage that has been passed down from generation to generation. Every region in Indonesia has its own Songket weaving, depending on the region’s characteristics. Bali island is one well-known region in Indonesia for Songket weaving. In the past, Songket weaving in Bali was only made for caste members and the royal family. At that time, only people in the royal family were able to make Songket weaving. The songket weaving process in Bali was mainly performed using a weaving tool called cagcag. The songket weaving pattern (motif) was made using a sungkit technique—interlace between threads to create a motif. The making of the songket motif begins with arranging the thread according to the desired motif before the weaving process. Information about the motif was spread in Guun. In general, songket weaving in Bali island has tens to hundreds of Guun. The skills to break the desired motif into the Guun is quite a complicated process. Therefore, not many weavers master the process of making songket motifs. Most of the motif makers continue or imitate existing motifs. Currently, a motif maker who can make a motif from scratch is rare. In order to help break motifs into Guun, an in-depth understanding of the calculation of making songket motifs is required. Then, this understanding is transformed into an application that can help motif makers to visualize motifs into Guum. The design application will provide multiple benefits for the motif makers and serve as an effort of culture preservation by introducing a design application to make songket motifs for younger generations. Therefore, they are expected to contribute to making songket weaving motifs.
Afrikaner Nationalism in the Political Life of the Union of South Africa in the First Third of the 20th Century
Authors: Streltsov Alexey
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to trace the formation and development of Afrikaner nationalism, which played an important role in the political life of the Union of South Africa in the first third of the 20th century; to find out the origins of the formation of Afrikaner nationalism and what factors influenced this formation; to analyze which groups of the white population of the Union of South Africa were close to the ideas of Afrikaner nationalism, to show how Afrikaner nationalism diverged from other ideologies in the Union of South Africa and how it influenced the political life of the dominion, how it influenced the relations of the Union of South Africa with Great Britain and, consequently, the formation of the British Commonwealth. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that nationalism is still an ideology that unites various social groups in many countries of the world. The conditions for the formation of Afrikaner nationalism are similar to the conditions for the formation of nationalism of other ethnic groups.
Xenophobic Threat to Nigerians Abroad – How Relevant is the Concept of “Afrocentrism”?
Authors: Idahosa S.O. , Makpah O.J.
Published: July 2022

The subject of this article is the relevance of Afrocentrism in the view of xenophobic threat to Nigerians abroad. The Afrocentrism in Nigeria’s foreign policy had been successful in both decolonization of Africa and the fight against apartheid in South Africa. However, the attacks on Nigerians abroad continue to question the price that Nigeria has paid in human, capital and material resources in ensuring peace on the continent. The fusion between policy and practice in the articulation and implementation of Nigeria’s foreign policy (often at the expense of its own people) reflects the sacrifices the country has made in its dedication to the continent. The study reveals that the history of Nigeria-Africa relations can be viewed in the light of conflict, cooperation, and competition. The study concludes that the Federal government should come up with policies that would change the current narrative in favour of Nigeria’s national interest vis-a-vis protecting its citizens abroad. It further recommends a number of measures to be taken, such as: sensitization campaign (Nigeria’s missions abroad, in collaboration with the appropriate government agencies of the host country in the hotspot areas in Africa, should periodically carry out sensitization programmes); setting up and strengthening (where it already exists) early warning signal system; using soft power/public diplomacy; using art diplomacy/cultural diplomacy; practicing overseas investment/economic nationalism to protect the country’s economy; prioritizing Nigeria’s foreign policy on regional concern.

Since the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization roughly two weeks ago, multiple states have enacted laws prohibiting or significantly restricting women from obtaining an abortion. The Court’s decision in Dobbs stated it was returning the “authority to regulate abortion…to the people and their elected representatives.”1 Since the preliminary decision was leaked in May 2022, numerous polls have demonstrated that nationally, a majority of Americans oppose overturning Roe v. Wade, and generally say abortion should be legal in at least certain circumstances. In this report, we go beyond national opinion and examine Americans attitudes towards abortion under various scenarios across all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. We also examine the extent to which state policy on abortion reflects the views of their citizens to determine whether the Court's decision returning abortion policymaking to the states improved or worsened representation.To evaluate abortion attitudes, we asked respondents to rate whether they support, oppose, neither support nor oppose, or have no opinion on abortion in nine scenarios:● Staying pregnant could cause the woman to die● Staying pregnant could harm the woman’s health but is very unlikely to cause her to die● The pregnancy is caused by the woman being raped● Once a fetal heartbeat is detected● After 6 weeks of pregnancy● After the fetus can survive outside the womb● The fetus is likely to be born with serious health problems or birth defects● Having the child would be extremely difficult for the woman financially● A woman does not want to be pregnant
Differential expression of WDR4 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2022

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with early-onset breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding WD repeat domain 4, WDR4, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 45 and younger, and women aged 70 and higher. WDR4 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of WDR4 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with basal subtype breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. WDR4 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Authors: Abid Hofa
Published: July 2022

The process of aging is one that cannot be avoided by any living thing. Throughout this process, there isan increase in the generation of reactive oxygen species, which ultimately contributes to the activating ofhyaluronidase, elastase, as well as elastase, all of which may further add to the aging of the skin. In orderto determine whether or if these two African medicinal herbs, Clerodendrum glabrum, and Peltophorumafricanum, have anti-aging qualities, research was conducted on them. Spectrophotometric techniqueswere used in order to evaluate the anti-elastase, anti-collagenase, and anti-hyaluronidase properties of atotal of twenty-eight samples.

Results of Randomized Controlled Trials of Cognitive Therapy for Depression Generalize to Private Practice
Authors: Persons Jacqueline
Published: July 2022

We compared outcomes of 45 depressed patients treated in private practice with cognitive therapy or with cognitive therapy plus pharmacotherapy to outcomes of patients receiving those treatments in two randomized controlled trials. Private practice and research samples differed considerably, with private practice patients having more psychiatric and medical comorbidities and a greater range of initial depression severity. Treatment in private practice and research settings also differed, with private practice treatment conducted in a more flexible manner using an idiographic, formulation-driven approach. As predicted, private practice patients showed statistically significant reductions in depressive symptomatology over the course of treatment, and at post-treatment, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores of patients treated in private practice and research settings were not statistically significantly different. Clinical significance of outcomes was also comparable in the clinical and research samples. Of the variables measuring demographic, illness and treatment factors, only pre-treatment BDI score predicted post-treatment BDI score in the private practice sample.

Anxiety and Depression Change Together During Treatment
Authors: Persons Jacqueline , Roberts Nicole A.
Published: July 2022

Anxiety and depression frequently co-occur and are viewed by many theorists as aspects of a unitary disorder. In contrast, the diagnostic nomenclature views anxiety and depression as discrete disorders, and current protocols for anxiety and depression treat the disorders separately. To test the hypothesis (based on the unitary view) that anxiety and depression are tightly related and change together over the course of treatment, we monitored week-by-week changes in symptoms of anxiety and depression in 58 outpatients treated naturalistically in private practice with cognitive-behavior therapy. Results were more supportive of a unitary than a discrete view, and showed that anxiety and depression were highly predictive of one another over the course of treatment. These findings lend support to a view of anxiety and depression as more unitary than discrete, and suggest the need to consider changes in the diagnostic nomenclature and in treatment strategies for anxious depressed patients.
The Effect of Analytical Thinking on Irrational Behaviors in Times of COVID-19: the Mediating Role of Misinformation Beliefs
Authors: Yin Xiaojuan , Jia Lina , Wei Shilin , Wang Pengpeng , Jin Hua
Published: July 2022

The present study was to investigate the influence of analytical thinking on irrational behaviors evoked by COVID-19 (including excessive epidemic prevention and hoarding behavior) and the mediating role of misinformation beliefs related to COVID-19 (including social and pseudoscientific beliefs) in a public health crisis. 1968 Chinese participants completed the Analytical Thinking Test, Misinformation Beliefs Questionnaire and Irrational Behavior Questionnaire online. The results showed that (1) Analytical thinking had a negative prediction on both excessive epidemic prevention and hoarding behavior; (2) misinformation beliefs, even social misinformation beliefs, partly mediated the relationship between the analytical thinking and irrational behaviors. These findings provide some useful references for effectively reducing people's irrational behaviors during a public health crisis.
Resistance to placebo analgesia is explained by greater reliance on somatic input: a Bayesian model comparison study
Authors: Delgado-Sanchez Ariane , Trujillo-Barreto Nelson , Brown Christopher , Watson Alison , Jones Anthony K. P. , El-Deredy Wael
Published: July 2022

In placebo analgesia, the expectation of pain reduction results in actual reduction in pain experience. Yet, there is substantial variability between participants in the magnitude of the placebo response, allowing a data-driven discrimination between placebo “responders” and “non-responders”. The mechanisms driving the difference between these groups remains unclear. Here we propose that placebo responders, when rating painfulness, place a higher relative weight on their prior experience relative to current nociceptive inputs. We analysed participants’ pain ratings from an experimental placebo paradigm, involving nociceptive laser stimulation and a fake analgesic cream. We compared three alternative linear predictive models that varied in the factors assumed to predict pain responses: either past experience, nociceptive stimulation or both. We carried out single trial inferences for each model using a Bayesian framework with belief updating priors on the prediction weights at each trial. Model comparison showed that dynamic changes in pain ratings in placebo responders is best explained by past experience, and in non-responders by both past experience and stimulation. This is the first account of placebo analgesia resistance being associated with greater nociceptive information processing. This conclusion fits with previous research highlighting the importance of attention to the body as a way to reduce the effect of expectancy-related bias. Our results also support the use of Bayesian models as phenotyping tools, which have potential uses for personalised medicine.
A Descriptive Study of Patient Quality Care via Telehealth During COVID-19
Authors: West Tyronne Anthony
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen a rise in reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorders, difficulty sleeping or eating, and an increase in alcohol and substance use primarily resulting from isolation and job loss. Social distancing guidelines created the perfect opportunity for mental healthcare organizations across all mental health care settings and levels of care to connect with individuals and families suffering from mental abnormalities virtually; however, widespread adoption of telehealth programs by mental health practitioners continues to fall short. This study uses a non-experimental descriptive survey design to answer descriptive questions on how participants rated their experience with telehealth as a standalone service delivery method in private practice settings. When patients experience quality care, they are more likely to return for future services and refer others. Quality experiences do correlate with positive financial performance, and this study describes how patients are rating their experience. The survey in this study contained Likert Scale questions, and the researcher used cross-tabulation and pivot tables to describe how participants responded to the survey. Results from this study are intended to provide insight into telehealth acceptance and effectiveness. This study also provides a foundation for further research to discover participant perceptions and examine participant responses as it relates to telehealth as a standalone mode of treatment in a private practice setting.
Sublimation during drifting and blowing snow events
Authors: Wever Nander
Published: July 2022

Snow drift in complex terrain is able to transport large amounts of snow through the air, leading to a redistribution of the snow cover. Wind deposition of snow plays an important role in avalanche formation. Several studies have shown that sublimation of drifting snow particles can remove significant amounts of snow from the air during transport, reducing the amount of snow deposited on lee slopes or on large high latitudes snow fields.The sublimation of drifting snow particles is studied by analyzing humidity measurements from a cold wind tunnel. It was found that the water vapor content of the air increases more when snow drift was present in the wind tunnel compared to situations without snow drift. An important factor determining the total amount of sublimation appeared to be the particle number density. Increased sublimation was observed if shortwave radiation was present. The wind tunnel experiments were simulated using a 1D numerical model for atmospheric boundary layers. Experiments and model results showed a good agreement and confirmed earlier assumptions on the effect of snow sublimation during drift.This model was also used to calculate the snow drift sublimation for a 3D snow drift model suitable for complex terrain. The feedback mechanisms of snow drift sublimation (cooling and humidifying of the air) reduce the sublimation rate significantly. Explicitly calculating the feedback mechanisms requires a lot of computational effort. However, a simple parameterization can be developed based on initial conditions before the snow drift event. This parameterization yields satisfying results for a test case.

Published: July 2022

The generative adversarial networks seem to work very effectively for training generative deep neural networks. The aim is to generate Nepali Handwritten letters using adversarial training in raster image format. Deep Convolutional generative network is used to generate Nepali handwritten letters. Proposed generative adversarial model that works on Devanagari 36 classes, each having 10,000 images, generates the Nepali Handwritten Letters that are similar to the real-life data-set of total size 360,000 images. The generated letters are obtained by simultaneously training the generator and discriminator of the network. Constructed discriminator networks and generator networks both have five convolution layers and the activation function is chosen such that generator networks generate the image and discriminator networks check if the generated image is similar to a real-life image dataset. To measure the quantitative performance, Frechet Inception Distance (FID) methodology is used. The FID value of 18 random samples, generated by networks constructed, is 38413677.145. For a qualitative measure of the model let the reader judge the quality of the image generated by the generator trained model. The Nepali letters were generated by the adversarial network as required. The evaluation helps the generative model to be better and further enables a better generation that humans have not thought of.
Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Bacterial Uropathogens causing Urinary Tract Infection in Patients attending Provincial Hospital, Janakpurdham, Nepal
Authors: Jha Sanjeet Kumar , Thakur Saroj Kumar , Yadav Lalit Narayan , Kumari Juni
Published: July 2022

INTRODUCTION: Distribution and susceptibility of UTI-causing pathogen varies according to place and time. Area specific monitoring studies, aimed to gain knowledge about the type of uropathogens and their susceptibility pattern, help clinicians choose the correct empirical treatment and reduce antibiotic resistance as well as treatment time and financial burden.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A hospital based cross-sectional study was carried out in provincial hospital, Madhesh province, Janakpurdham, Nepal from May 2021 to September 2021. Urine samples from 450 clinically suspected cases of UTI were collected and tested bacteriologically following standard procedure. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by the disk diffusion according to Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines.
RESULTS: Of 450 urine samples,110(24.4%) showed significant bacterial growth. E. coli 57(51.82%) was the most common isolated followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa18(16.36%). Most of the isolates were sensitive to Amikacin (AK), Amoxycillin Clavulanic Acid(AMC), Nitrofurantoin (NIT) whereas most of the gram positive and gram-negative isolates were resistant to Cefixime (CFM), Ampicillin (AMP), Cotrimoxazole (COT).
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that E. coli isolates were the predominant uropathogens and AMC is the most effective antibiotic. Most isolates were resistant to Cefixime (CFM), Ampicillin (AMP) and Cotrimoxazole (COT). The presence of highly resistive bacterial isolates, to some of the commonly prescribed drugs, limits the antibiotic prescription options. Drug resistance pattern is an ever-evolving process then isolates become resistant to commonly used drugs. So, frequent surveillance studies are conducted to update clinicians on effectiveness of empirical treatment for UTI.

Authors: Basukala Sunil , Thapa Narayan , Pathak Bisnu Deep , Mishra Raveesh , Gautam Alok Raj , Karki Saurav , Basukala Bikram
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Elective surgical case cancellation refers to a scheduled surgical procedure that not performed on a given day. Cancellation of elective surgical operation recognized as a major cause of emotional trauma to patients as well as their families.  It has been a long-standing problem for healthcare organizations across the world.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted from September 01 to November 30, 2021 for a period of three months in a 750-bedded tertiary care hospital, Kathmandu. A cancelled procedure was defined as a patient’s name appearing on the list for surgical operations but the operation not being performed on the scheduled date. Patients scheduled for surgical procedures were recruited into this study by the principal investigator and research assistants on the day prior to their operation.
Results: Of total 600 patients scheduled for elective procedures over a period of three months, the prevalence of cancellation of elective surgical procedures was found to be 15.33 % (n=92). Of the examined surgical specialties, the cancellation prevalence was highest in GI and HPB at 40.9% (n =47), closely followed by Urosurgery at 31(33.6%), general surgery17(18.47%), plastics, Paediatric surgery 5(5.4%) and burn and plastics surgery 2 (2.1%) having the least cancellationrate at 2(2.1%) which was statistically significant (p value<0.05).
Conclusions:Inadequate preoperative preparation, prioritized emergency cases and equipment shortages are the common causes of elective surgical cancellations.

Ostatnio ukazała się monografia Marcina Łyski pt. Prawo wykroczeń Polski Ludowej (Białystok 2020, ss. 136). Autor swe rozważania rozpoczyna od 1918 r. Przedstawia system francuski z trójpodziałem przestępstw (zbrodnia, występek, wykroczenie), system austriacki i system niemiecki. Polska kodyfikacja prawa materialnego wykroczeń z 11 lipca 1932 r. była efektem wieloletnich dyskursów naukowych członków Wydziału Karnego Komisji Kodyfikacyjnej II Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej.

Wprowadzanie socjalistycznego modelu orzecznictwa karno-administracyjnego rozpoczęła ustawa z 20 marca 1950 r. Natomiast bez zmian zostało zachowane przedwojenne postępowanie mandatowe oraz nakazowe. Ostateczna kodyfikacja prawa wykroczeń Polski Ludowej nastąpiła 20 maja 1971 r.  Przepisy niektórych analizowanych ustaw obowiązują po dziś dzień. Trzeci etap kodyfikacji prawa o wykroczeniach nastąpił już w III Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej.

The present paper is concerned with a qualitative, analytical, and comparative method of exploring Buddhist perspectives on phenomenal consciousness. The phenomenal consciousness sciences have offered a mechanical explanation of the ‘how’ and ‘what’ of consciousness, but have failed to explain the ‘why’ of consciousness. The Buddhists have given a systematic explanation of conscious experience in Pancha–skandha, and it is in relation to the material world. In this scheme of things, consciousness is overly conditioned and arises from an interaction with other factors (physical or mental). Consciousness, in turn, influences one or more mental factors. Thus, consciousness and the mind–body (nama– rupa) are interdependent: there is no arising of consciousness without conditions. This is to say that there is an unbroken series of consciousnesses. I would like to demonstrate that the Buddhist notion of phenomenal consciousness not only goes against the possibility of a scientific explanation of phenomenal conscious experience but also establishes the philosophical grounds for the existence of a phenomenal conscious experience.

Atomic force microscope observation of the surfaces of natural articular cartilage
Authors: Pawlak Zenon
Published: July 2022

Hydrophilic and negatively charged natural cartilage surface is covered by phospholipids bilayers. These phospholipids have been demonstrated to exert highly desirable characteristics on the surface articular cartilage such as efficient lubrication, load processing, and semipermeability for nutrient transport. We examined a bovine cartilage (BC) surface using atomic force microscope. The study was performed using cartilage samples with healthy surfaces and completely depleted surface phospholipids. The artificially degraded cartilage surfaces (lipid depleted) were resurfaced with different species and combinations of synthetic bilayer of phospholipids found in human joints. Our results demonstrated that it is possible to recreate a potentially viable layer of phospholipids on the surface of degenerated cartilage. However, further studies will be required to advance the resurfacing idea developed in this paper for the potential treatment of osteoarthritis and other related orthopedic joint conditions.
Immediate Extubation Versus Extubation Within Six Hours: Analysis of Clinical Outcomes in The Postoperative Period of Cardiac Surgery
Authors: Rocha Martinez Tania Leme da
Published: July 2022

The advances of the quality of anesthetics and of anesthetics techniques have facilitated the optimization of time for extubation in coronary heart disease graft. Aim: Comparison of clinical outcomes between patients extubated in the operating room and extubated patients within 6 hours after Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission in patients undergoing cardiac surgery using extracorporeal circulation. Material and methods: A retrospective observational study of 194 patients submitted to cardiac surgery using extracorporeal circulation in one of the biggest tertiary hospitals in São Paulo. They were divided into two groups. In the first group, patient’s extubated in the operating room was composed of 95 patients. The second group of patients extubated within 6 hours of ICU admission from the intubated operating room, composed of 99 patients. We excluded 10 patients who were extubated after 6 hours of ICU admission. Results: Patients extubated in the operating room (median of 8 days, IQR 6 to 10) had shorter hospital stay time than patients extubated within 6 hours of ICU admission (median of 10 days, IQR 8 to 12.5), prevalence of similar delirium (2.0% x 2.1%), absence of pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation (VAP) (0%), absence of non-caloric-protein readjustment (0%) and regarding safety, only one patient was reintubated for anesthetic recirculation in the group of extubated in the room and there was no difference in the rate of ICU readmission with the non-extubated group. Conclusion: In this sample of patients, we found that extubation in the room was safe. Patients extubated in the operating room immediately after cardiac surgery have a lower chance of evolving with prolonged hospitalization when compared to patients who are extubated within 6 hours of ICU admission.
Migrant Visibility, Agency, and Identity Work in Hospitality Enterprises
Authors: Lugosi Peter , Allis Thiago , Ferreira Marcos , Leite Eanne Palacio , Pessoa Aluizio , Forman Ross
Published: July 2022

This article examines how migrants create value through food- and hospitality-related enterprises, focusing on the ways in which they exercise their agency in mobilizing various cultural resources and on how their organizational practices intersect with identity work. Drawing on empirical research conducted in São Paulo, Brazil, it explores how specific dishes, knowledge of food, recipes, craft skills, and migration histories are transformed into valued cultural resources in these kinds of enterprises. The article explores three themes: first, how foods become “pliable heritage” through migrants’ identity work; second, how migrants’ ongoing identity work shapes their activities and experiences in food and hospitality businesses; and third, how migrants’ individual identity work is entangled in collective interests and the activities of a wider set of (migrant) stakeholders.

OBJECTIVE

Postoperative dysphagia after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has many contributing factors, and long-term data are sparse. The authors evaluated dysphagia after ACDF based on levels fused and cervical sagittal parameters.

METHODS

Patients who underwent ACDF between 2009 and 2018 at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), were retrospectively studied. Dysphagia was evaluated preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and at last follow-up using the UCSF dysphagia score. Dysphagia was categorized as normal (level 7), mild (levels 5 and 6), moderate (levels 3 and 4), and severe (levels 1 and 2). The UCSF mild dysphagia score was further classified as "minimal dysphagia," while moderate and severe dysphagia were classified as "significant dysphagia." "Any dysphagia" included any dysphagia, regardless of grade. Cervical sagittal parameters were measured preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and at last follow-up.

RESULTS

A total of 131 patients met inclusion criteria. The mean follow-up was 43.89 (24–142) months. Seventy-eight patients (59.5%) reported dysphagia immediately postoperatively, and 44 patients (33.6%) reported some dysphagia at last follow-up (p < 0.001). The rates of moderate dysphagia were 13.0% immediately postoperatively and 1.5% at the last follow-up (p < 0.001). Twenty-two patients (16.8%) had significant dysphagia immediately postoperatively, and 2 patients (1.5%) had significant dysphagia at last follow-up (p < 0.001). Patients with immediate postoperative dysphagia had less C2–7 preoperative lordosis (−9.35°) compared with patients without (−14.15°, p = 0.029), but there was no association between C2–7 lordosis and dysphagia at last follow-up (p = 0.232). The prevalence rates of immediate postoperative dysphagia and long-term dysphagia were 87.5% and 58.3% in ≥ 3-level ACDF; 64.0% and 40.0% in 2-level ACDF; and 43.9% and 17.5% in 1-level ACDF, respectively (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The realistic incidence of any dysphagia after ACDF was 59.5% immediately postoperatively and 33.6% at the minimum 2-year follow-up, higher than previously published rates. However, most dysphagia was not severe. The number of fused levels was the most important risk factor for long-term dysphagia, but not for immediate postoperative dysphagia. Loss of preoperative C2–7 lordosis was associated with immediate postoperative dysphagia, but not long-term dysphagia. ACDF segmental lordosis and cervical sagittal vertical axis were not associated with long-term dysphagia in ACDF.
