Published: July 2023

Islam sebagai agama adalah merupakan objek atau sasaran penelitian atau kajian dalam studi Islam. Islam merupakan agama dari Allah SWT yang diturunkan melalui nabi Muhammad SAW yang menjadi sumber petunjuk dalam kehidupan di dunia ini agar berlangsung dengan baik. Ajaran Al-Quran dan hadis sangat berpengaruh bagi kehidupan manusia dimana untuk mengatur kehidupan harus ada keseimbangan (equilibrium). Dalam Islam sudah ada sejak awal diajarkan mengenai itu. Demikian hadis yang ada sejak dulu merupakan kesaksian para sahabat yang dekat dengan nabi atas perbuatan dan kesepakatan yang mulia dan agung yang dilakukan nabi Muhammad SAW yang wajib kita jadikan sebagai panutan. Islam memiliki aturan-aturan yang dikenal dengan syariat yang mengatur semua pemberlakuan yang dibolehkan atau tidak bagi penganut tersebut. Islam mengajarkan kehidupan yang dinamis dan progresif, diciptakannya akal pikiran untuk pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, adanya kebutuhan yang seimbang antara material dan spritual. Islam juga mempunyai dua aspek, yakni segi agama dan segi kebudayaan. Dengan demikian ada agama Islam dan kebudayaan Islam, antara keduanya dapat dibedakan, tetapi dalam pandangan Islam sendiri tak mungkin dipisahkan. Dengan demikian studi Islam (kajian islam) secara harfiah (bahasa) bisa dinyatakan usaha untuk mempelajari hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan agama Islam.
Çukurova’nın Fatihlerinden Varsak Türkmenleri
Authors: DEMİRBAĞ Hüseyin
Published: July 2023

Çukurova’nın Fatihleri olarak bilinen Varsaklar, bölgenin Türkleşmesinin öncülerindendir. Bölgede faaliyetlerde bulunan Karamanoğulları, Memlûkler, Ramazanoğulları, Dulkadiroğulları ve Osmanlı münasebetleriyle ele alınan Varsaklar bölge siyasetinde etkin rol oynamışlardır. Osmanlı, mücadeleci ve savaşçı bir ruha sahip olan Varsakları yok etmek yerine kazanma yolunu seçmiştir. Çukurova, Osmanlı hakimiyetine girince Varsaklar vergisini veren sadık birer reaya olmuşlardır. Ancak Celali İsyanıyla bölgede asayişin bozulması üzerine daha güvenli gördükleri Toros dağlarına çekilen Varsaklar, burada yoğun bir nüfusa ulaşarak istedikleri gibi hareket etmenin yanı sıra Kozanoğulları beyliğini kurarak burada yaklaşık 150 yıl hüküm sürmüşlerdir. Osmanlı, bölgede asayişi yeniden temin etmek ve Çukurova’nın Fatihlerinin torunlarını eski yurtlarına döndürmek için çeşitli girişimlerde bulunmuş olsa da maalesef bir mesafe alamamıştır. Osmanlı, hazırlamış olduğu askeri ve sosyolojik bir planlama neticesinde 1865 yılında Gavurdağları’ndan başlattığı Fırka-i İslâhiye projesiyle Kozanoğullarına son vermiş ve bu beyliğe bağlı aşiretleri iskana tabi tutmuştur. Bu iskanın neticesinde Osmaniye şehri kurulurken Varsaklara bağlı aşiretler de şehrin kurucu unsurlarından olmuşlardır. Bugün yaptığımız saha araştırmalarında maalesef iskân edilen aşiretlerin çok az bir kısmı Varsak kimliğimi muhafaza ederken çoğunluğu bu kimliği unutmuştur.
İklim Göçü ve İklim Mülteciliği Kavramlarına İnsan Hakları Temelli Sosyolojik Bir Bakış
Authors: YÖRÜK Büşra
Published: July 2023

Bu çalışma kapsamında iklim değişikliği ekseninde iklim göçü ve iklim mülteciliği kavramları ele alınmaktadır. Henüz kurumsal düzenlemelerin nesnesi olmayan bu iki kavram teorik tartışmalarda kavramsal sınırların belirlenmesi, nedensellik mekanizmalarının açıklanması ve yasal çerçeveye nasıl oturtulacağı konularında değerlendirilmektedir. 1980 sonrasında iklim değişikliğine dair yayınlanan raporlar meselenin gündeme gelmesinde etkili olurken, The International Displacement Monitoring Centre gibi merkezlerin yayınladığı veriler çevresel koşullar nedeniyle göç eden insan sayısının her geçen gün arttığını göstermektedir. Bir adaptasyon stratejisi olarak değerlendirilebilecek iklim göçünün, farklı göç türlerinin bir arada görülebileceği bir araştırma alanı olarak kavramsal sınırlarının belirlenmesine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, literatür değerlendirmesi olarak gerçekleştirilen çalışmada kavramların netleştirilmesi, iklim değişikliği ve göç arasındaki nedensel ilişkilerin tartışılması, iklim mülteciliğinin hukuki çerçevedeki konumunun anlaşılması ile bunun insan hakları bağlamında temellendirilmesi ve toplumsal bir süreç olarak kapitalizm ile iklim değişikliği arasındaki bağlantının kurulması amaçlanmaktadır. İklim değişikliği ve göç arasındaki ilişkiye dair toplumsal, ekonomik ve siyasi mekanizmaların kesişimselliğinin ortaya konulduğu, iklim mülteciliğinin yalnızca deniz seviyesinin yükselmesi nedeniyle sular altında kalacak ada ülkelerinin sorunu olmadığı, aynı zamanda bunun mevcut üretim ve tüketim yapısından kaynaklandığını irdeleyen sosyolojik tartışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu savından hareketle, bu çalışmanın literatürdeki bu boşluğu dolduracağı düşünülmektedir.
Application of Statistical Distributions to PM10 Concentrations: Van, Türkiye
Authors: BAĞCI Kübra
Published: July 2023

Air pollution is one of the most serious environmental pollution problems that adversely affect human health and the environment. Industrializing and frequent use of low-quality coals for heating purposes and incorrect combustion techniques may cause intense air pollution in the winter season. There are several studies on air quality employing different methods using various air pollutants (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ground-level ozone, and particle pollution) in the related literature. In this study PM_10 (concentration of 10 micrometers or smaller size of air pollutants) levels in Van province which is one of the most crowded provinces in Eastern Anatolia, Türkiye. Due to the fuels used for heating in Van, the air quality may be higher than limits set by regulations several times during the year. In this study, PM_10 levels of Van are modeled using lognormal, Weibull, and Gamma distributions. Information and goodness of fit criteria are used to compare their performance. In addition, predictions of exceedances are provided for the PM_10 concentration higher than given limits. According to the results, the Gamma distribution performed better than the other two distributions in modeling the PM_10 concentrations in Van and predicted the exceedances accurately.
Attitude-To-Process Model, Social Network, Social Trust and Shared Goals In Organizational Knowledge Sharing: Empirical Evidence From Pakistan
Authors: SHAH Rabia , RAHMAN Wali , NAS Zekeriya , RAHMAN Haji
Published: July 2023

This paper conceptualizes the theory-of-reasoned-action and attitude-to-behavior process model and integrates them into previous research. The target is to see whether social capital has any significant role in sharing of knowledge in organizations. To achieve the purpose, the researchers empirically tested 11 hypotheses (nine were put to validation as these hypotheses have already been tested in other settings while two were put to test for the first time) by employing confirmatory factor analysis as a statistical technique. Data for the study were collected from 114 faculty members of two universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The results validated the majority (8 out of the 9) of the previously tested hypotheses and evidence of the significant contribution of social networks and shared goals on an employee’s willingness of sharing knowledge. However, social trust has shown a significant contribution in the reverse direction which is very interesting and needs further in-depth exploration. Similarly, hypotheses 10 and 11, which were put to test for the first time, were not supported by the empirical data. As a whole, the results of this study warrant organizations that knowledge sharing is indisputable for remaining viable in the market. The results have also made this evident that employees are willing to share knowledge if organizations provide a more conducive atmosphere to affect knowledge sharing. The results also challenge the absoluteness of trust and demand organizations that could have negative results as well. The results have practical as well as theoretical implications. The study has some limitations as well.
Marital Timing of Emerging Adults: Familial Factors as Potent Predictors
Authors: KELDAL Gökay , KILIÇ Nurseven
Published: July 2023

Understanding marital beliefs during emerging adulthood is notably important as it might help emerging adults create a path in this unique life period to form a marital union. However, the affective factors shaping emerging adults’ marriage beliefs are multifarious and merit further attention. Therefore, the ultimate goal of this research was to elucidate whether the family of origin’s quality and marriage age of parents were predictors of emerging adults’ ideal marriage age and the ideal amount of time needed to get to know a partner before marriage. The study group consisted of 500 unmarried university students and graduates in Turkey. A multivariate regression analysis was performed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the marital timing of emerging adults was linked to a variety of familial factors. The ideal marital age of emerging adults was significantly predicted by the mother’s marital age, parents’ marital happiness and age. Later mother marriage age was correlated with later ideal age of marriage. Higher levels of perceived happiness in parents’ marriage was associated with earlier ideal age of marriage. Additionally, the mother’s marriage age and emerging adults’ relationship status and age were significant predictors of the ideal amount of time to get to know a partner before marriage. Later mother’s marriage age and having a romantic relationship was linked to a longer time to get to know a partner before marriage. Being older was also related to a shorter time to get to know a partner before marriage and the later ideal age of marriage. The ideal marital age is around 26 years old. Only 5% of emerging adults feel ready to get married. More than two-thirds of emerging adults do not want their marriage to resemble their parents’ marriage. Besides, most emerging adults give priority to a career in their life plans.

Published: July 2023

Toplumun bireyden beklentilerini temsil eden cinsiyet rolleri, kültürel, sosyal ve politik bağlamda biçimlendirilmektedir. Bu roller, bireyin ne yapıp ne yapamayacağına dair sınırlıkları belirlemektedir. Geleneksel bakış açısına göre kadın ev içindeki işlerden sorumlu tutulurken, erkek ise ev dışındaki işlerden sorumlu tutulmaktadır. Ancak erkek ve kadının geleneksel cinsiyet rolleri, kentleşme ve modernleşme ile birlikte değişmeye başlamıştır. Büyük kentlerde ebeveynlerin birlikte çalıştığı veya sadece kadının çalıştı, erkeğin ise evde durduğu örnekler mevcuttur. Bu örnekleri dizi, film ve reklam gibi medya içeriklerinde görebilmekteyiz. Özellikle de reklamlarda bu konuda oldukça fazla ve çeşitli örnekler sergilemektedir. Erkekliği modern kimlik bağlamında yeniden kurgulayan, özellikle ev işi reklamları, erkeği bu işleri yaparken ya tek başına ya da kadının yanında konumlandırmaktadır. Bu çalışma, çamaşır/bulaşık makinesi, ocak/fırın gibi beyaz eşya ile süpürge, kahve makinesi ve ütü gibi küçük ev aletleri reklamlarında erkeğin nasıl konumlandırıldığını sorgulamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında erkek kimliğinin modernizm bağlamında reklamlar tarafından yeniden kurgulanmasında kullanılan göstergelerin içeriksel bağlamda analiz edilerek açıklaması amaçlanmaktadır

Published: July 2023

Urartu Krallığı, MÖ. 9-7. yüzyıllar arasında başkent Tuşpa (Van Kalesi) olmak üzere kurulmuştur. Giderek güç kazanan krallığın sınırları; kuzeyde Gökçe Göl, kuzeybatıda İran, güneyde Urmiye Gölü ve batıda Fırat Nehri’ne kadar ulaşmıştır. Urartulular bu yayılım alanı içerisinde çok sayıda kale inşa etmişlerdir. Bu kalelerden biri de, Van iline 24 km mesafede olan ve Gürpınar İlçesi’nde yer alan Çavuştepe Kalesi’dir. Urartu kralı II. Sarduri (MÖ. 764-734) tarafından inşa ettirilmiş olan kaledeki ilk kazılar, 1961-1986 yılları arasında Prof. Dr. Afif Erzen tarafından gerçekleştirilmiştir. Daha sonraki kazı çalışmaları ise Prof. Dr. Rafet Çavuşoğlu tarafından 2014 yılında başlatılmış olup halen devam etmektedir. İlk dönem kazıları ile ikinci dönem kazılarında kalede çok sayıda ok ucu ele geçmiştir. Demir ya da bronzdan olan ok uçları döküm tekniğinde yapılmıştır. Ok uçları iki gruba ayrılmakla birlikte her grup kendi içerisinde çeşitli tiplere ayrılmaktadır. İlk grubu, sapın içine yerleştirildiği kovan soket bölümü olan kovan formlu ok uçları oluşturmaktadır. Diğer grupta ise, ok ucunun sapa girmesini sağlayan sivri bir çıkıntı söz konusudur. Bu tipteki ok uçları da yaprak formlu ok uçları olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Her iki tipteki ok ucu da mahmuz ya da kanat sayıları ve yapıları bakımından birbirinden farklı özellikler sergilemektedir. Çavuştepe Kalesi’nde ele geçen Urartu okları, savaşın yanı sıra yabani hayvanları avlamada da kullanılmıştır.

Spinal tuberculosis: a diagnostic challenge. case report and literature review
Authors:   Guillermo Almenara Hospital. Lima, Perú, Barrientos Zindya , Basurco Alfonso , Cari Elar , Laos Eduardo
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Spinal tuberculosis TB represents 1% of all TB cases and 50 - 60 of osteoarticular TB cases.1 Certain atypical clinical and radiological presentations of spinal tuberculosis are described infrequently. 2 The lack of recognition of these presentations can lead to a delay in diagnosis and the initiation of treatment. 3 We present the case of a patient with atypical vertebral tuberculosis operated on in our hospital. Clinical case: A 56-year-old male with a history of diabetes mellitus and no history of tuberculosis contact with a 3-year history of moderate low back pain without sciatic pain that did not improve with physical therapy. The general and systemic physical examination was normal. The tests showed PCR 9.8 ESR 24 BK in the sputum brucellosis test, and ELISA and chest X-ray were normal. A tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbosacral spine showed an osteolytic lesion involving L2 L3, isointense on T1, with regular punched-out borders sparing the L2 L3 intervertebral disc suggestive of vertebral tuberculosis. He received standard tuberculosis treatment for 24 months with no improvement. A new open biopsy revealed Mycobacterium tuberculosis GenXpert. Conclusion: Spinal tuberculosis continues to be a global health problem. Diagnosing atypical spinal tuberculosis remains difficult, which could lead to inappropriate treatment, especially regarding the choice of treatment regimens and surgical options. Histopathological confirmation is essential for time management. Keywords: Tuberculosis, Spinal, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Lumbar Vertebrae, Biopsy (Source: MeSH NLM)
Ancient thoracic schwannoma: a rare etiology of spinal cord compression. case report
Authors: Vargas John , Urquizo José Luis , Basurco Alfonso
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Ancient schwannoma is a rare subtype of spinal schwannomas. It is named for the degenerative changes that it can present. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance helps us diagnose, as it can show heterogeneous lesions that capture ring contrast. The treatment is surgical. Clinical Case: A 67-year-old male patient is presented, with 2 years of the disease characterized by thoracic radicular pain and severe paraparesis in the last 6 months. Contrast-enhanced MRI showed a tumor with heterogeneous uptake, widening the right T2/T3 foramina with right anterior paravertebral extension and severe canal stenosis at the T2 level. A laminectomy plus total resection of the lesion was performed; the pathology study was reported as ancient schwannoma. The evolution was favorable, with complete recovery of muscle strength in subsequent months. Conclusion: Ancient schwannoma is a rare pathology that has peculiar imaging characteristics and whose treatment is surgical. Keywords: Schwannoma, spinal neoplasms, paraparesis, laminectomy (Source: MeSH NLM)
Combined treatment “microsurgery-arthrodesis”: total resection of dorsal schwannoma plus dorsal arthrodesis
Authors: Aquino-Fabian Lizert
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Schwannomas are benign, unusual, and slow-growing tumors originating in Schwann cells, they constitute 30% of spinal tumors and are more common in women between the fifth and sixth decade. The symptoms depend on the location, degree of spinal cord compression, vertebral erosion, and tumor size. The diagnosis is clinical and imaging. The gold standard of treatment is total excision, to avoid recurrence. Surgical planning must be holistic, and the surgical field must be wide to allow complete excision. Clinical case: A 65-year-old woman with symptoms of axial pain, with an imaging diagnosis of a spinal tumor, is presented. Total resection of the tumor was performed by means of a hemilaminectomy plus dorsal arthrodesis. The pathology result was spinal schwannoma. The patient evolved favorably without presenting a neurological deficit. Conclusion: Hemilaminectomy plus posterior arthrodesis with facetectomy constitutes an effective way for total resection of extramedullary intradural tumors at the dorsal level, as was the case we performed in our patient. This allows for a larger operating field and optimizes the surgical approach. Keywords: Spinal Cord Neoplasms, Neurilemmoma, Laminectomy, Arthrodesis. (Source: MeSH NLM)

El contexto en que educamos
Authors: Martínez Reyes Nelson Rubén
Published: July 2023

La educación acontece siempre en un contexto concreto; está marcada por ese contexto -aunque a veces los educadores y educadoras no seamos concientes de ello- y tiene capacidad para transformarlo. Sin conocer el contexto y sin dejarse "incomodar" por él, los ambientes educativos corren el riesgo de ofrecer respuestas a preguntas que nadie hace y de educar para no ver, para no oír y para no transformar la realidad. Por eso es "pedagógicamente saludable", al inicio del año, echar una mirada a nuestro alrededor, para reconocer los actuales desafíos de la tarea educativa.

Previous studies have examined the impact of occupational self-efficacy and work engagement, but studies investigating job crafting and boredom as mediators of the relationship between occupational self-efficacy and work engagement among traffic control officers are lacking. Therefore, the present study tested the indirect effects of job crafting and boredom on work engagement, alongside the sequential effects of occupational self-efficacy, job crafting, and job boredom on work engagement. Time- lagged data were collected at three points of measurement among 320 traffic control officers from South-eastern Nigeria. Results of the multiple serial mediation analysis indicated that occupational self-efficacy positively predicted higher work engagement by activating higher job crafting behaviours. We also found an indirect effect of job boredom,which suggests that a higher level of occupational self-efficacy reduces job boredom via job crafting which increased work engagement. Results of the study supported the sequential mediating effects of occupational self-efficacy, job crafting and job boredom on work engagement. These results imply that occupational self-efficacy and job crafting are resources that can be used to relief employees’ feeling of boredom about their job, which in turn enhances work engagement. The limitations of the study and suggestions for further research were highlighted.

Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of flesh or muscle mass in the body while dynapenia is the loss of muscle strength. With Igbo art and cultural activities as a baseline for interventions, the specific objectives of this study were to (i) find out the degree to which Traditional Igbo Art and Cultural Activities can help to improve muscle strength among the participants, (ii) ascertain the types of Traditional Igbo Art and Cultural Activities that old people prefer, and (iii) assess the level to which Traditional Igbo Art and Cultural Activities can improve old people’s cognitive well-being. The 2-week quasi- experiment was conducted in Arochukwu, Oboro, and Ohafia in Abia State, Umuchu in Anambra State, and Ehime-Mbano in Imo State. From the initial 100 (N=100), (n=50) retirees were selected for the exercise. The study tool was the Traditional Igbo Art and Cultural Activities Treatment Syllabus (TIACA-TS), with the subjects: (i) Basketry/rope weaving, (ii) Mud wall plastering/design, (iii) Hairstyling/haircutting, (d) Makeup/body adornment, (iv) Thatch weaving, (v) Clay moulding, (vi) Cloth weaving/embroidery, and (vii) Wood carving/joinery. The secondary instrument was the Traditional Igbo Art and Cultural Activities Response Score Card (TIACA-RSC). Scores between 7-10 were rated High, 4-6, average, and 1-3, low. The cumulative scores per subject were converted to percentage equivalents and discussed. The findings showed that art forms that encouraged weaving, embroidery, and painting were preferred by the old people. While dynapenia was significantly treated, sarcopenia was minimally handled.

The outbreak of COVID-19 came with serious socio-economic and national security implications across the globe. While more deaths were recorded in developed countries than in developing countries, socio-economic impacts were, however, more pronounced in developing countries than in developed countries. In this study, we examined the socio-economic and national security implications of COVID-19 in Zimbabwe. The study adopted a mixed-methods design, with 202 participants recruited from Harare Central Business District through quota and purposive sampling techniques. Findings revealed that poverty, hunger and starvation, and rising unemployment were the major socio- economic impacts of COVID-19 in Zimbabwe. In terms of security, domestic violence was considered the most prevalent crime during COVID-19, followed by corruption. The study concludes that restrictive measures during public health emergencies come with a host of negative socio-economic impacts, which require sound mitigatory measures from governments. The study recommends a number of social measures to mitigate this outcome, namely providing social grants to vulnerable citizens, implementing partial rather than total lockdowns, and limiting the powers of law enforcement agents during public health emergencies.
Speaking in structure and transitivity: politeness in “Abiku” by J.P. Clark
Authors:   Department of English and Literary Studies, Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria, Iroegbu Obinna
Published: July 2023

This study examines some pragma-linguistic features in Clark-Bekederemo’s “Abiku”. The examination is relative to their function as elements foregrounding politeness in interlocution. The analysis focuses mainly on the structure and partly on transitivity; and offers an interface between two referents the speaker (S) and the hearer (H). The poem is analysed to account for the significance of thematic structure and transitivity. While structure offers an in road into the syntagmatic presentation, transitivity examines the paradigmatic relation among certain words applied in the poem. The incident of the marked thematic structure becomes congruently productive in the transmission of a certain pragma-linguistic inclination on the part of the speaker. Central to the pragma-linguistic inclination, as observed in the analysis, is the depersonalization or de-emphasis on the beingness of the abiku. This is evinced in the preponderance of disproportionately marked forms of sentence constructions in situations where the abiku should function as a Subject. This marked form of expression construction is duly sustained and significantly applies to both the entry and exit statements in the poem. The markedness in the deliberate thematization of processes and circumstances rather than a participant in transitivity is an extension of communicative features in the poem.

Nursing students are exposed to various difficulties, such as the need to meet academic and clinical expectations, distance from home, and financial constraints. In doing so, they may encounter unpleasant events that might affect their mental health. Mental wellbeing can be enhanced through religion and social support. In this study, the mental health, perceived social support, and religiosity of undergraduate nursing students were evaluated, and any correlations between these aspects were assessed. A cross-sectional study involving socio-demographic data, DASS-21 items, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and a self-rated religiosity scale was conducted among 255 Muslim undergraduate nursing students at a public Islamic university. The result showed that the nursing students had moderate levels of psychological wellbeing (Mean=23.41, SD=+/- 14.352), 83.0% of the students were very religious and sensed a high level of social support, while they had moderate levels of psychological wellbeing (Mean=23.41, SD=+/- 14.352). Levels of religiosity and perceived social support had a significant inverse relationship with the total DASS-21 (rs=0.195, p0.05; rs=0.248, p<0.05). This study demonstrates how protective characteristics - including religiosity, being a third-year student, and perceived parental support can affect mental health. This research may be expanded in future to investigate more protective factors for the population of interest because of the constraints of using a single study setting, the Islamic university.

Published: July 2023

Background & Objective: Acute ischemic stroke leads to the increased production of free radicals and reactive oxygen species in the tissue and plasma via various mechanisms. We aimed to investigate thiol balance and subfatin impairment in patients with minor ischemic stroke (MIS) compared with stroke-free controls.
Methods: A total of 70 participants (35 patients and 35 healthy controls) were enrolled in this study. The investigation includes serum subfatin levels, native thiol, total thiol, native thiol-to-total thiol ratio, disulfide, the disulfide-to-native thiol ratio, and the disulfide-to-total thiol ratio. The blood samples were collected at the time of admission to the emergency department.
Results: A total of 35 patients with MIS and 35 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Mean ages of patients and control subjects are 64.5±10.6 and 64.3±5.9, respectively. 20 (57.1%) of both groups were male. The two groups were similar in terms of age (p > 0.912) and did not differ in subfatin levels (p = 0.247). Native thiol, total thiol, and the native thiol-to-total thiol ratio were significantly lower in the patients than in the controls (p < 0.001), whereas disulfide, the disulfide-to-native thiol ratio, and the disulfide-to-total thiol ratio were significantly higher in the controls.
Conclusion: Thiol balance is impaired in patients with ischemic stroke, but it was uncertain about subfatin. Additional research required for subfatin in acute ischemic stroke.

Published: July 2023

Background: Although studies on the safety and efficacy of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) have been conducted, the safety and efficacy for treating post- infective hydrocephalus (PIH) in pediatric patients have not been investigated using meta-analysis and thus remain controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the safety and efficacy of ETV and VPS for PIH treatment and determine whether ETV is more appropriate than VPS for treating PIH in PP.
Methods: We searched Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases up to January 2022. The quality of studies was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing the risk of bias in randomized trials. A fixed-effect model was used for pooling analysis, and heterogeneity was assessed using I2.
Results: Three randomized controlled trials involving 200 patients out of a total 254 identified studies were included. No significant differences were found between ETV and VPS in postoperative success rate (risk ratio RR: 0.89; 95% confidence interval CI: 0.72–1.10; p = 0.27), postoperative infection rate (RR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.21–2.22; p = 0.52), postoperative blockage rate (RR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.40–2.00; p = 0.80), complication rates (RR: 1.29; 95% CI: 0.45–3.71; p = 0.63), or mortality (RR: 1.31; 95% CI: 0.47–3.65; p = 0.60). However, patients who underwent VPS showed lower postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage than those who underwent ETV (RR: 9.00; 95% CI: 1.18–68.45; p = 0.03).
Conclusions: VPS may be more beneficial for the treatment of PIH in pediatric patients.

Published: July 2023

Background & Objective: A need exists for prophylactic treatment options for chronic migraine. Our aim was to evaluate and compare the effect of greater occipital nerve (GON) and transnasal sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) blockade on headache days, responder rate, attack severity, attack frequency, and medication overuse in patients with chronic migraine.
Methods: This was a retrospective study. The GON blockade was performed at the proximal level under ultrasound guidance with 1.5 cc 0.5% bupivacaine, and the SPG blockade was performed transnasally with 0.5 cc 0.5% bupivacaine applied for 30 minutes with swab sticks. Patients who completed bilateral blocks applied in four weekly sessions were included in the analysis.
Results: Seventy patients (GON=37, SPG=33) were included in the study. Both groups showed a significant improvement in the number of days with headache, severity of attacks, and frequency of attacks at the first- and third-month follow-up visits compared to the baseline (p<0.001). Responder rates were similar at the first- and third-month follow-up visits (r= 3.707, p=0.054; r=0.071, p=0.790, respectively). At the third-month follow-up, the prevalence of medication overuse decreased from 78% to 13% in the GON group and from 57% to 9% in the SPG group, and these differences were statistically significant (p<0.001 for both groups). No significant difference was noted in efficacy between the treatment groups (p=0.714). No significant adverse effects occurred in either group.
Conclusion: Both proximal GON blockade and minimally invasive SPG blockade are effective and safe options for prophylaxis in patients with chronic migraine.

Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 23 (EIEE23; OMIM #615859) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. It is characterized by refractory seizures, multifocal epileptic activity on electroencephalography, psychomotor development delay, dysmorphic facial features and cortical blindness/visual impairment. DOCK7 is involved in intracellular signaling networks and plays a role in axon formation and neuronal polarization. Function loss of this gene has previously been described in the molecular etiology of EIEE23. Here, we report a boy with a pathogenic novel variant in the DOCK7 gene presenting with, infantile-onset epileptic encephalopathy, severe neurodevelopmental delay, dysmorphic facial features, cortical blindness as well as previously unreported minor dental and extremity anomalies. Few cases with DOCK7 mutations have been reported in the literature. Due to its high genetic heterogeneity and scarcity, it is extremely important to report a novel and specific mutations and their associated clinical phenotypes. Whole exome sequencing revealed a novel pathogenic homozygous frameshift variant which has not been reported (c.5669dup (p.Cys1891ValfsTer2) mutation in the exon 44 of DOCK7).
Can exostoses of the external occipital protuberance and superior nuchal lines cause headache? A report of two cases
Authors: BAHADIR Sinan
Published: July 2023

Compression of the occipital nerves can cause occipital headache. Several potential compression points have been identified along their course. One of these points is the hitherto undescribed instance of exostoses of anatomic structures of the occipital bone. A 34-year-old man with a prominent external occipital tuberance and superior nuchal lines complained of headache in the area of distribution of the greater occipital nerve with tenderness near the bony protrusion on palpation. A 44-year old woman experienced stabbing pain in the lateral orbital region with pressure on the ossified insertion of the ipsilateral trapezius muscle near the external occipital protuberance. Local nerve block achieved temporary relief of pain. Exostosis of the external occipital protuberance and superior nuchal lines may impinge on the greater and third occipital nerves. The characteristics of the pain in our cases differ in some aspects from those of occipital neuralgia.

Early diagnosis and treatment of tubercular meningitis (TBM) is one of the best predictors of survival. The smear testing of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has a low sensitivity and cultures, though having higher sensitivity, take a long time in TBM diagnosis. The present study was done to evaluate the proportion of positive Gene Xpert test, a rapid nucleic acid amplification test, in clinically suspected patients with TBM. The results of Gene Xpert tests were then compared with the culture results. One hundred and fifty prospective patients with a clinical suspicion of TBM were classified as probable or possible TBM and underwent CSF examination for culture and Gene Xpert assay. Out of 124 patients available for statistical evaluation, 52 were in the probable and 72 in possible TBM group. The proportion of patients with Gene Xpert positivity were significantly more in probable compared to possible TBM (63.15% vs 36.85%, p<0.001). Twenty-eight patients had a positive culture result. The sensitivity of Gene Xpert relative to culture testing was 68.42%, specificity of 97.61%, a positive predictive value of 92.85% and a negative predictive value of 87.23%. Gene Xpert testing provided a rapid diagnosis in patients suspected with TBM. The high sensitivity and specificity of this test relative to culture testing is a strong indication that it should be included as one of the gold standard tests in patients with suspected TBM.
