Authors: Doi Kazuma , Otani Naoki , Inoue Norihiko , Mizuno Junichi , Fushimi Kiyohide , Yoshino Atsuo
Published: January 2025

Study Design:

Retrospective study of data abstracted from the diagnosis procedure combination (DPC) database.

Objecitives:

The etiology of cervical fracture dislocation (CFD) remains unknown because of the limited clinical investigations that involve approximately 100 individuals. This study investigated the association of CFD-impaired levels with patient outcomes.

Methods:

This study included 4653 adult patients with a definitive CFD diagnosis from the DPC database. The database consisted of nationwide inpatient data collected from >1000 acute care hospitals in Japan. This DPC database contains information regarding the hospitalization course, such as diagnosis, treatment, medical history, complications, and hospitalization outcomes. We included 866 CFD patients whose impaired levels were specified. We compared the outcomes between the patients whose CFD occurred in the upper cervical levels (“high” group) and the intermediate-low levels (“low” group). This study determined 121 pairs of patients after one-to-one propensity score matching (PSM). The main outcomes included inhospital death, 30-day mortality, and major complications after admission. The secondary outcomes were the length of hospital stay, discharged home rate, and improvement in Barthel index.

Results:

No differences in inhospital death and 30-day mortality were found between the high and low groups, even after adjusting for PSM (P > 0.05, respectively). Moreover, this analysis revealed that the high group exhibited a higher incidence of respiratory complications than the low group (37.2% vs. 24.8%; P = 0.0256).

Conclusions:

This study revealed no difference in mortality but a significantly higher incidence of respiratory complications with high-level CFD compared to low-level CFD.
Treatment of posttraumatic thoracolumbar fractures using SpineJack for vertebral body augmentation, a single-center retrospective, and observational cohort study of 226 cases
Authors: Njee-Bugha Theodore , Buiret Guillaume
Published: January 2025

Context:

Thoracolumbar spine fractures are frequent and the treatments are debatable because of the lack of randomized control studies and of low number of patient series. Percutaneous Vertebral Body Augmentation using SpineJack prosthesis (SJPVBA) followed by bracing is an available mini-invasive technique. The aim of the study was to assess the imaging and functional results of the largest homogeneous cohort of SJPVBA.

Materials and Methods:

Every patient who sustained a posttraumatic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures treated by SJPVBA from the January 6, 2012, to January 6, 2020, was retrosepctively included. The main outcome measure was the height of the vertebral body (anterior/middle/posterior parts) on the sagittal computed tomography scan. The secondary outcome measures were a 11-point Likert scale for the pain and the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire for the quality of life. All the data were compared at different times: preoperative versus day after the procedure versus at least 3 months versus (if disposable) a long-term special consultation just before the publication.

Results:

SPJVBA is a simple, quick (52-min-long on average) reliable, efficacious method to significantly improve the vertebral height (+3.5 mm and 4.3 mm of the anterior and middle vertebral heights, P < 10−5), to correct kyphosis and relieve pain (−6.5/10 on the Likert scale for pain). We also showed that there is a significant vertebral height decrease between day 1 (−2.1 mm and − 0.7 mm of the anterior and middle vertebral heights, P < 10−5 and 0.005, respectively) and 3 months but not between 3 months and the last consultation with a mean follow-up of 37 months (−0.1 mm and − 0.2 mm of the anterior and middle vertebral heights, P = 0.277 and 0.4289, respectively).

Conclusions:

SPJVBA is a simple, quick, reliable, efficacious method to improve the vertebral height, to correct kyphosis and relieve pain.
Atlantoaxial rotary subluxation in children after trampoline injury: A critical but overlooked diagnosis
Authors: Kanagaraju Vijayanth , Srinivasan Sri Deepa Kolathupalayam , Elsayed Sherief , Ponnappan Ravi Kumar
Published: January 2025

Atlanto-axial rotary subluxation (AARS) is rare but recognized as a significant cervical spine injury following a fall or physical impact on the head or neck in children aged 5–15 years. Trampoline use has been increasing among children, as have the trampoline-related injuries (TRI). We present a case series of AARS following trampoline injuries, highlighting clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management, especially in an emergency setting. We report four children with an average age of 8.5 years (range 6–12 years) presented to our hospital emergency service with neck pain and torticollis following a TRI. The diagnosis was confirmed through X-ray and computed tomography imaging, revealing Fielding and Hawkins type 1 AARS. Conservative treatment with analgesics, muscle relaxants, and a cervical collar led to recovery in three cases, while one required halter cervical traction for persistent deformity. All patients recovered completely, with no long-term complications. AARS in children is largely a type 1 injury with a favorable prognosis. Early recognition and management are crucial in preventing complications. The increasing incidence of neck injuries caused by trampoline use in children necessitates strict safety regulations regarding its use.

Authors: Yakdan Salim M. , Herrera Maya , Wehbe Nour , Al Akoum Monifa , Kaleem Muhammad Irfan , Ruiz-Cardozo Miguel A. , Joseph Karan , Assaf Nada , Dimassi Hani
Published: January 2025

Background:

Spinal metastases are the third most common site of metastasis, with around 10% of cancer patients experiencing symptomatic spine involvement. Despite poor overall survival, recent advances in targeted therapies and minimally invasive surgical techniques have made surgery a more viable option for managing metastatic spine disease.

Objective:

Our study aims to identify perioperative risk factors associated with poor outcomes following spine surgery in the setting of spinal cord metastasis.

Methods:

We used the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data. Patients with metastatic spine disease undergoing spine surgery were identified. Our primary outcome measure was 30-day morbidity and mortality after surgery. Our secondary outcome was prolonged hospital stay. Logistic regression model for each outcome based on individual characteristics was developed.

Results:

A total of 2109 patients were included. The 30-day morbidity and mortality rates were 19.1%. Significant predictors included smoking, more than 10% body weight loss, surgical urgency, dependent status, and preoperative albumin levels. In addition, 28.6% of patients experienced a prolonged hospital stay, with significant predictors including chemotherapy, surgical urgency, dependent status, preoperative hematocrit, neurological deficits, preoperative albumin levels, and surgical complexity.

Conclusion:

Our study provides valuable insights into the risk factors associated with mortality, morbidity, and prolonged hospital stay in patients with spinal cord metastasis undergoing spine surgery. These identified factors can be instrumental in assisting clinicians with risk stratification, preoperative optimization, and postoperative care planning, ultimately improving patient outcomes. Further research and validation of these predictive models are warranted to ensure their generalizability and applicability in clinical practice.

Pregnancy-induced changes to spinal anatomy and physiology can increase the complexity of neurosurgical intervention in this population. There are numerous reports focused on the neurosurgical management of intracranial pathology for pregnant patients. However, less is known about the neurosurgical management of acute spinal pathology. This study aims to discuss the management of emergent spinal pathology during late-term pregnancy. This is a case series of acute spinal pathologies in pregnancy. Epidural spinal needle fracture, epidural abscess, disc herniation causing an acute neurological deficit, and potential spine trauma. An extensive literature search relevant to the operative cases was performed to highlight the relevant themes to management. (1) The epidural spinal needle fracture was managed by surgical exploration under local anesthesia. (2) The epidural abscess was managed with laminectomy and surgical evacuation of the infective mass under general anesthesia. (3) The acute disc herniation was managed with laminectomy and discectomy under general anesthesia. All three examples were managed with emergent surgeries with improvement of symptoms. (4) The potential spine trauma was managed nonoperatively. Relevant similar cases from the literature review were summarized and strategies for management were outlined. Several factors such as anesthesia type, positioning, and operation sequencing must be considered when managing acute spinal pathology in late-term pregnant patients, necessitating multi-disciplinary input. However, effective management can result in successful surgical intervention and improvement of symptoms.

Authors: Jyothiprasanth M. , Jithin C. R. , Thomas Akhil K.
Published: January 2025

Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocations are infrequent, constituting merely 3% of all shoulder dislocations, and anterior dislocations outnumber posterior dislocations. Chronic instability is a usual feature observed in both spontaneous and traumatic anterior dislocations, although the manifestation of incapacitating symptoms remains relatively uncommon. This case report presents a unique instance of habitual unilateral sternoclavicular joint dislocation in an adolescent female. A 26-year-old female nurse who noticed abnormal movement of her right collarbone's medial end during shoulder motion. Over two years, this issue progressed, occurring during daily activities. She could self-reduce the prominence, and there was no associated pain, trauma history, or co-morbidities. Examination revealed habitual right sternoclavicular joint dislocation, manageable by manual pressure. This case underscores an uncommon presentation of unilateral sternoclavicular joint dislocation in an adolescent female, prompting considerations for evaluation and management. Sternoclavicular joint dislocations are rare occurrences that pose diagnostic and treatment challenges. A collaborative and comprehensive approach, involving a multidisciplinary team, is essential for effective evaluation and management of these injuries.

Published: January 2025

To ensure high-quality bioresources and standardize biobanks, there is an urgent need to develop and disseminate educational training programs in accordance with ISO 20387, which was developed in 2018. The standardization of biobank education programs is also required to train biobank experts. The subdivision of categories and levels of education is necessary for jobs such as operations manager (bank president), quality manager, practitioner, and administrator. Essential training includes programs tailored for beginner, intermediate, and advanced practitioners, along with customized training for operations managers. We reviewed and studied ways to develop an appropriate range of education and training opportunities for standard biobanking education and the training of experts based on KS J ISO 20387. We propose more systematic and professional biobanking training programs in accordance with ISO 20387, in addition to the certification programs of the National Biobank and the Korean Laboratory Accreditation System. We suggest various training programs appropriate to a student’s affiliation or work, such as university biobanking specialized education, short-term job training at unit biobanks, biobank research institute symposiums by the Korean Society of Pathologists, and education programs for biobankers and researchers. Through these various education programs, we expect that Korean biobanks will satisfy global standards, meet the needs of users and researchers, and contribute to the advancement of science.

Influence of Varied Carbon Sources and Carbon-Nitrogen Ratio on Microbial Community in a Biofloc-Based Culture System and Their Effects on Growth Performance, Proximate Composition, Hematology and Oxidative Stress in Nile Tilapia
Authors: Zahra Andleeb , Mateen Abdul
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the influence of varied carbon sources and carbon-nitrogen ratio on microbial community in a biofloc-based culture system and their effects on growth performance, proximate composition, hematology, and oxidative stress in Nile tilapia. The experiment involved three different carbon-nitrogen ratios (10:1, 15:1, 20:1) and two carbohydrate sources (molasses: ML-10, ML-15, ML-20, starch: S-10, S-15, and S-20) with three replicates each. A diet containing 25% crude protein was fed to fish in 18 experimental units for 120 days. Carbohydrate supplementation significantly increased the total heterotrophic bacterial (THB) count from C/N10 to C/N20 while decreasing pH, total ammonia nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen contents. In addition, growth was considerably greater in the ML-10 and ML-15 groups compared to the C/N20 group. Increasing the C/N ratio increased body protein and ash, decreased lipid contents, and increased the activities of lysozyme, SOD, CAT, and GPx. Finally, the C/N10 and C/N15 groups showed significantly lower GLU and COR concentrations in biofloc compared to the C/N20 group. Furthermore, increasing the C/N ratio up to 15 resulted in improved outcomes in terms of Hb, WBCs, RBCs, and Ht content. Overall, the utilization of the C/N15 group resulted in suitable growth, proximate composition, and immunity in Nile tilapia.

Authors: Windarto Seto , Lee Meng-Chou , Hsu Jue-Liang
Published: January 2025

Colaconema formosanum, new Rhodophyta in Taiwan. However, currently, there is little documented research on the protein bioactivity of this species. The objectives of this study were to conduct an in silico assessment of C. formosanum proteins as possible sources of bioactive peptides. Six proteins from C. formosanum, phycobiliproteins group, were selected based on LC-MS/MS analysis and these proteins were verified using the Mascot database. Subsequently, in silico analysis was started by checking the protein's physicochemical properties, followed by the bioactive peptide activities in the BIOPEP-UWMTM database. Additional parameters, including the theoretical degree of hydrolysis, value and relative frequency were also assessed. The peptides were ranked using PeptideRanker to screen for novel promising bioactive, and subsequently, an evaluation of the proteins' allergenicity and toxicity was conducted. Various bioactive activities, such as an inhibitor of ACE, DPP-IV, DPP-III, alpha-glucosidase, glutamate-carboxypeptidase, leucyltransferase, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other activities were generated using in silico proteolysis of phycobiliproteins employing five proteases. In silico results indicated that phycobiliproteins from C. formosanum possess significant potential as a valuable reservoir of bioactive peptides. No previous reports have been made about the in silico analysis of this species. These discoveries present novel prospects for utilizing these bioactive peptides in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.

Authors:   Kazan State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Koshkin Dmitry F. , Vorozheikina Vera A. ,   Kryachkov Novosibirsk State University of Architecture, Design and Arts
Published: January 2025

The publication discusses way finding (using the example of Novosibirsk) in an urban environment at different times of the day. In order to plan a route and find the necessary location, a pedestrian needs to analyze the surrounding space, memorize environmental objects and determine their features. In this work, we seek to identify the navigational potential of environmental objects and build hierarchical relationships using systematization and generalization methods between the elements of the composition within the view frame of the visual space. The study suggests that the most significant accents of the urban environment are color and light as the main orientation tools for tourists and visitors of the city.

City and factory – the nature of urban planning contradictions
Authors:   Ural State University of Architecture and Art, Burganov Andrey D.
Published: January 2025

The article deals with the problems of interaction between two functional zones: residential and industrial. It is suggested that there are urban planning contradictions that do not allow the industrial zone to be fully integrated into urban space. Among these, the most significant contradictions are the scale, formation, and planning organization. The study of these contradictions has allowed us to conclude that industrial zones are fundamentally irreducible to residential developments, which leads us to reconsider the placing of industrial zones in cities at the current stage of development.
Models of ecological renovation of industrial buildings for the creation of shopping, entertainment or recreational complexes
Authors:   Southern Federal University, Zdor Nikita S.
Published: January 2025

The article examines the key features of the functional planning and spatial architectural treatment of the typological group of public buildings and structures during renovation of industrial buildings in coastal areas in order to create promising models of two different types of multifunctional spaces: a shopping and entertainment complex, and a public park.
Both approaches exploit the structural and spatial advantages of these buildings and modern architectural-ecological techniques, such as: adaptive reuse, structural reinforcement, and integration of natural light and environmentally friendly materials. The key differences lie in their focus: shopping and entertainment centers emphasize commercial activities and leisure through a dynamic shopping environment, while public parks give preference to green areas and outdoor recreation, integrating extensive landscape design and environmental sustainability methods into the project.
Overall, these renovation models not only improve the urban environment, but also contribute to the well-being of the population and restoration of the environment in the area.
Typology of morphotypes of monastic complexes on the example of monasteries in the Kaluga region
Authors:   I. Repin Academy of Fine Arts, Altunin Grigoriy V.
Published: January 2025

In the course of their historical development, the architectural ensembles of the monastic complexes of the Kaluga province were growing more complex, acquiring a well-developed complex structure that would regularly include new components either in symbiosis with existing ones, organically complementing them or replacing them. This process is inextricably linked with a gradual increase in the share of built-up space and, accordingly, a decrease in open space and constant reorganization of spaces. The need to identify and rationalize formation regularities in monastic architectural ensembles makes it necessary to typify the development of both the monastery as a whole and its functional zones separately. For this purpose, it is advisable to use the same type of typological structures, the role of which may be the building morphotype of a certain functional area of the monastery’s territory.

Entre Acordes e Desacordos: Ecos e Desafios das Normas Tradicionais de Género na Desgarrada de Ponte de Lima
Authors: Serapicos Júlio César do Nascimento
Published: January 2025

Objetivo: O presente estudo etnográfico tem como objetivo explorar o papel social da desgarrada minhota na (des)construção das normas tradicionais de género na comunidade limiana. A análise privilegia uma compreensão aprofundada dos fenómenos culturais a partir da interação direta com os contextos sociais em que se inserem.
 
Quadro Teórico: Neste estudo, a desgarrada é analisada como uma manifestação performativa e um ritual que expressa a identidade cultural da região minhota. Este ritual constitui um espaço onde os participantes reafirmam e/ou contestam as normas tradicionais de género, intrinsecamente ligadas à cultura limiana, conferindo-lhe um significado social singular que transcende o mero âmbito do entretenimento.
 
Método: A pesquisa adota uma abordagem etnográfica, que combina diferentes métodos para uma compreensão aprofundada do fenómeno estudado. Este trabalho de campo, conduzido ao longo de cinco anos nas Feiras Novas, inclui a análise documental, a observação participante e a análise qualitativa de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas a cantadores, cantadeiras, tocadores e membros do público habitual.
 
Resultados e Discussão: Os resultados demonstram que, para além de ser uma forma de entretenimento, a desgarrada desempenha um papel social na preservação da identidade cultural, ao perpetuar estereótipos de género que refletem as desigualdades existentes na sociedade limiana.
 
Implicações da Pesquisa: As implicações da pesquisa indicam que, embora a desgarrada funcione como um espaço performativo onde as desigualdades de género são frequentemente reforçadas e amplificadas, também oferece oportunidades para a renegociação de normas sociais. Ao proporcionar às cantadeiras a oportunidade de participação nesta performance, a desgarrada pode contribuir para a construção de narrativas alternativas de participação e poder.
 
Originalidade/Valor: O estudo proporciona uma visão inovadora sobre as interações entre música, género e identidade cultural. A análise de como as normas sociais são preservadas e/ou contestadas em festividades revela-se igualmente essencial para a formulação de estratégias que promovam um turismo sustentável. Estas estratégias devem equilibrar tradição e inovação, atender às necessidades tanto dos visitantes quanto das comunidades anfitriãs, assegurando a preservação do património cultural e, simultaneamente, perspetivar a adequação às transformações sociais.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the influence of moral, competence, and status values on moral decision-making among Indonesian adolescent athletes, focusing on acceptance of cheating, acceptance of gamesmanship, and maintaining proportionality in winning.
Methodology: The research involved 173 school athletes aged 12 to 18 years. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess the predictive power of these values on ethical attitudes.
Results: Moral values significantly predicted reduced acceptance of cheating (b = -0.249, p = 0.008) and increased keeping winning in proportion (b = 0.323, p = 0.000), highlighting their critical role in fostering ethical decision-making. In contrast, status values were strong predictors of both acceptance of cheating (b = 0.351, p = 0.000) and acceptance of gamesmanship (b = 0.434, p = 0.000), while negatively influencing keeping winning in proportion (b = -0.216, p = 0.015). Competence values, however, showed no significant impact across all indicators (p > 0.05), suggesting a limited role in shaping moral attitudes
Discussion: These findings underscore the predictive power of moral and status values in determining ethical attitudes among youth athletes, with status values emerging as a potential risk factor for unethical behavior.
Conclusions: Moral values play a vital role in promoting fairness in youth sports, whereas status-driven motivations require careful management to mitigate unethical behavior. Educators and coaches should prioritize moral development to foster integrity.

Introducción: Los síndromes hipertensivos del embarazo (SHE) son una de las complicaciones más frecuentes y se asocian a retraso del crecimiento intrauterino, lo que podría provocar alteraciones del desarrollo psicomotor específicas y diferentes de otras causas de prematuridad. Objetivo: (i) comparar el desarrollo psicomotor de niños y niñas prematuros nacidos de madres con SHE y por otras causas (NO-SHE) y (ii) relacionar las características del nacimiento con el desarrollo psicomotor. Sujetos y método: 56 niños prematuros fueron divididos en 2 grupos: hijos (as) de madres SHE (n=28) y NO-SHE (n= 28). Se evaluaron sus características generales (peso al nacer, talla, perímetro cefálico, edad gestacional, tipo de parto). Un evaluador experto aplicó la Escala de Desarrollo Infantil Bayley, tercera edición (BSID III) para determinar el desarrollo psicomotor. Resultados: SHE presentaron menor peso al nacer (p=0,021), nacieron principalmente por cesárea (p=0,005) y presentaron más casos de enfermedad de membrana hialina (p=0,049). En BSID III, los hijos e hijas de madres SHE tienen puntuaciones más bajas en habilidades motoras finas (p=0,037) y comportamiento adaptativo (p=0,047). En SHE existe una relación directa y moderada entre la comunicación expresiva y el peso al nacer (r=0,411; p=0,030) y con el perímetro cefálico (r=0,392; p=0,039). Conclusión: SHE tiene efectos diferenciados en el desarrollo psicomotor de los niños y niñas prematuros, lo que se manifiesta en puntuaciones más bajas en el área de motricidad fina y conducta adaptativa. Además, un mayor peso y circunferencia craneana al nacer se asocian con mejores puntuaciones en comunicación expresiva en este grupo.

Introducción: el aprendizaje cooperativo es un modelo pedagógico ampliamente utilizado en educación física, pero carece de herramientas específicas para evaluar su implementación desde la perspectiva docente.  Objetivo: este estudio tiene como finalidad diseñar y validar el Cuestionario de Implementación del Aprendizaje Cooperativo en Educación Física (CIACEF).
Metodología: la validación inicial se llevó a cabo con una muestra de 204 docentes de educación física en España. Se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio para evaluar la estructura del instrumento (KMO = .863; prueba de Bartlett = .000, p < .001), junto con análisis de consistencia interna mediante el coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach (valores entre .729 y .883 para las dimensiones principales).  Resultados: El CIACEF se estructuró en tres bloques principales: 1) Dificultades en la implementación, 2) Estrategias para una aplicación efectiva; y 3) Evaluación del aprendizaje cooperativo. Consta de 35 ítems organizados en 7 dimensiones: 1) Dificultades en el alumnado; 2) Competencia percibida y satisfacción del docente; 3) Estrategias de implementación; 4) Selección de técnicas cooperativas; 5) Aspectos que evaluar, 6) Evaluación compartida y 7) Evaluación formativa. Los resultados respaldan la validez y fiabilidad inicial del cuestionario.  Conclusiones: el CIACEF constituye una herramienta valiosa para avanzar en la investigación educativa, permitiendo explorar y evaluar las dinámicas de implementación docente en metodologías cooperativas, su impacto en los procesos de enseñanza, así como continuar estudiando los factores de eficacia en el aprendizaje cooperativo.
The Growth of Online Retailing in India
Authors:   Walden University, USA, Samprathi Srinivas
Published: January 2025

Industrial experts have agreed that India’s small-scale industries are intensely competitive due to globalization, domestic economic liberalization, and
digitization. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to evaluate the relationship between transaction costs, customer satisfaction, and
customer trust in online shopping with the growth of online retailing in India. The theoretical foundation for this research study was the theory of
planned behavior, and the unified theory of acceptance and the use of technology. The research questions examined India’s online retailing growth due to
transaction costs, customer satisfaction, and customer trust. The study used a quantitative correlational research design. The data collected by the survey
research method were analyzed with the software package IBM SPSS. The results indicated that customer satisfaction and transaction cost are significant
predictors and can explain 59% (adjusted R2 = .589) of the variance in online retailing growth in India. The previous research had not empirically verified
the relationship between transaction costs, customer satisfaction, and customer trust in online shopping with the growth of online retailing in India. The
recommendation was to include environmental factors and to increase sample size in future research. Closing the gap may contribute to a positive social
change by preparing small business owners to compete against online retail growth by understanding which factors affect the growth of online retail in
India. With online shopping support, small business owners can implement measures to retain and attract customers of specific demographic groups.
