STIMULATING SDGS IN RURAL TOURISM DEVELOPMENT- THE MEDIATION EFFECT OF MOTIVATION, OPPORTUNITY AND ABILITY IN THE RELATIONSHIP OF PERCEPTION FOR TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
Authors: Abdul Kadir Irhanida , Ni Chew Leon
Published: October 2024

Tourism is increasingly becoming a strategic tool for rural areas worldwide to achieve sustainability and stimulate economic growth. This research explores the application of the motivation, opportunity, and ability (MOA) model in rural tourism development in Kampung Kuala Juru, a fishing village in Bukit Tengah, Seberang Prai, Penang, to promote sustainability and economic opportunities for the B40 communities. A mixed-methods approach was utilised, including the distribution of 100 questionnaires to the local community to assess the impact of the MOA model on their participation in rural tourism development. Interviews with key informants were conducted to corroborate the findings. The research revealed that motivation and opportunity do not mediate the relationship between the community’s perception of tourism development and their participation; however, ability does. This indicates that the community in Kampung Kuala Juru is more likely to participate irrespective of their motivation or opportunities. Furthermore, the results from the mixed methods suggest that tourism products and activities in Kampung Kuala Juru have the potential to enhance rural tourism development with the support of local residents and relevant tourism stakeholders, thereby contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and creating economic opportunities for the B40 community in the study area.

Authors: Gunandar Calista Mutia , Hasibuan Hayati Sari , Tambunan Rudy Parhalutan
Published: October 2024

The efforts to alleviate slum settlement in the coastal areas of Jakarta are required to consider the sustainability of flood disaster protection measures. This is essential for reducing vulnerability issues, particularly in Kalibaru Subdistrict with the highest flood risk. The vulnerability issues refer to aspects of community exposure level, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity as main indicators of coastal areas due to climate change. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the vulnerability of slum settlement in coastal area of Kalibaru Subdistrict, North Jakarta. A quantitative method was used to measure vulnerability level of settlements to flood using statistical and scoring analysis. The results showed that vulnerability level of settlement to floods was within the moderate category. The adaptive capacity serving as a significant element, was influenced by collective actions, cooperation, and mutual assistance in addressing disaster threats. This showed the need to optimize both physical and non-physical aspects of slum settlement eradication interventions.

Authors: Mabahwi Nurul Ashikin , Nakamura Hitoshi
Published: October 2024

Floods significantly impact lives, infrastructure, and economies, especially in disaster-prone regions such as Kuantan, Malaysia. This study aims to develop a suitability map for flood shelters in Kuantan, Pahang, by employing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Weighted Overlay Analysis (WOA) within ArcGIS software. Geospatial criteria such as elevation, slope, proximity to disaster-prone areas, landslides, floods, and land use were used as parameters. The results indicated that 21% of flood shelters were in unsuitable locations, 32% were in moderately suitable areas, 39% were in very suitable areas, and 8% were in extremely suitable sites. This study highlighted the critical role of geospatial criteria in selecting flood shelter sites and advocated for continuous reassessment to optimise their effectiveness and safety. The research provides valuable insights for urban planning and disaster risk reduction, emphasising the necessity for strategic, data-driven decision-making to enhance urban resilience against floods.

Online Short-Form Psychoeducation Videos: Iterative Interdisciplinary Development Process and Description (Preprint)
Authors: Turtle Louise Lakshmi Charles , Wesson Helen Alexandra , Williamson Simon , Hodson Nathan
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Every year, around 1.8 million people in the UK are referred to NHS Talking Therapies services, predominantly for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is the first-line treatment for common affective and anxiety disorders. However, more than a million of these do not complete their course. Supporting this ‘missing million’ to attend and complete CBT is a policy priority.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to co-produce video resources to help people better prepare for cognitive behavioral therapy.

METHODS

We assembled an interdisciplinary team to undertake an iterative video development process, composed of three sub-teams. An expert contributor sub-team of therapists shared their priorities and preferences for video content and style. A creative sub-team was responsible for scripting, filming, and editing video content. A project management sub-team distilled insights from the expert contributors and shared them with the creative team; they also presented video content to expert contributors and collected feedback. The process was terminated when expert contributors were satisfied that the videos developed could be shared with their patients.

RESULTS

We conducted two development cycles between February and August 2024. We developed 12 videos covering topics such as the format of CBT (why there is work to do between therapy sessions, for example) and the psychological content (the value of developing healthy habits). The termination condition was achieved; expert contributors agreed to share videos with their patients.

CONCLUSIONS

We successfully collaborated to produce a series of psychoeducation videos. A major strength of this process was the large number of people from different professional backgrounds involved; this diversity boosted both the validity of the content and the creativeness of the videos. This approach was well-suited to the setting of psychotherapy where therapists have a detailed understanding of the anxieties and uncertainties of their patients but we would advise caution in fields where professionals are less attuned to their patients’ needs. Support to engage the ‘missing million’ is urgently needed and psychoeducational videos provide one suitable approach.

Published: October 2024

Background: Pharmacies should improve people's quality of life by providing pharmaceutical services. In this case, the distribution and accessibility of pharmacy facilities play an essential role.Objectives: This research aims to provide an overview of the distribution of pharmacies in Bandar Lampung municipality and analyze their distribution and accessibility.Methods: Non-experimental research with descriptive methods was conducted using spatial analysis. All population pharmacies in Bandar Lampung were selected as a sample, and their location was pointed using the Garmin Global Positioning System (GPS). Arc-Gis software was used for data analysis. A nearest-neighbor analysis was conducted to get a distribution pattern, and the pharmacies' density was calculated to obtain accessibility data. The overlapping approach was carried out to determine factors related to pharmacy distribution patterns.Results: Bandar Lampung municipality has 268 pharmacies spread across 20 districts. This research shows that the average density of pharmacies per 10,000 residents is 2.26. The highest pharmacy accessibility is in Sukarame, with a ratio of 4.07, and the lowest is in Bumi Waras, with a ratio of 0.62. The distribution of pharmacies is a clustered pattern (T value 0.55) and centralizes on collector roads, residential urban land use, and health facilities.Conclusion: The distribution of pharmacies is odd. They are distributed in a cluster pattern.

Published: October 2024

Background: The shifting from the old paradigm to the new paradigm with the philosophy of pharmaceutical care demands pharmacists to enhance the quality of pharmaceutical services. However, this role has not been optimally fulfilled, especially in the community setting.Objectives: This study aimed to identify the perceptions and expectations, the gap between expectations and reality, and public confidence as well as to analyze the relationship between sociodemographic factors and the perceptions, expectations, and public confidence in Bandung City regarding the role of pharmacists in pharmaceutical services.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a validated survey instrument with 440 respondents in Bandung, West Java, from March to April 2023. The survey data were analyzed descriptively and through inferential statistics.Results: The analysis showed that 58.41% of the community had a positive perception, 56.82% had high expectations, the average gap between expectations and reality was 14.04%, and more than 51.36% had a high level of public confidence in pharmacists. Sociodemographic factors influencing perceptions were age and the highest level of education (p = 0.005; p = 0.003), factors influencing public confidence were age, the highest level of education, residence address according to ID card (KTP), and occupation (p < 0.001; p = 0.034; p = 0.001; p = 0.001), and the factor influencing expectations was the residence address according to ID card (KTP) (p = 0.043). A correlation was found between the dimensions of perceptions, expectations, and public confidence.Conclusion: Most participants held a positive perception, had high expectations, and shown high confidence in the pharmacist's position, despite the existence of a disparity between expectations and the actual provision of pharmacy services. The elements of perception, expectations, and confidence are interrelated.

Sobre la moralidad del turismo de vacunación
Authors: Espíndola Mata Juan , Vaca Paniagua Moisés
Published: October 2024

Una de las características más notables de los procesos globales de vacunación contra la COVID-19, que iniciaron en 2021, fue su falta de uniformidad. Las vacunas llegaron primero a los países desarrollados, los cuales en muchos casos las acumularon sin gran recato, y sólo después al resto del mundo, de manera muy paulatina y desigual. Tal disparidad dio pie a un proceso social que aquí llamaremos turismo de vacunación, por el cual un número considerable de ciudadanos de los países en vías de desarrollo o pobres viajaron a países desarrollados para hacerse administrar la vacuna que no tenían a su disposición localmente. Cientos de miles (si no es que millones) de mexicanos, por ejemplo, viajaron a destinos como Texas, estado del país vecino que no exige requisitos de residencia o ciudadanía para vacunarse. El turismo de vacunación no es un hecho aislado que involucre exclusivamente a Estados Unidos, ni uno que involucre sólo a viajeros de países de bajos ingresos a países de altos ingresos... (Mazingaizo 2021). Sin embargo, en este capítulo nos centraremos en el turismo de vacunación de ciudadanos de países en vías de desarrollo o pobres a países desarrollados, ya que éstos parecen ser los casos más comunes, así como los más controvertidos desde una perspectiva moral. En el discurso público, el turismo de vacunación suele ser objeto de duras críticas. En la sociedad de origen, el cuestionamiento es que quienes utilizan sus privilegios socioeconómicos para viajar y recibir la vacuna antes que sus conciudadanos, en lugar de esperar y “hacer la fila” con todos. En la sociedad de destino, lo que se objeta es que los ciudadanos y residentes deberían tener el derecho de vacunarse antes que los turistas de la vacunación; después de todo, fue su gobierno el que, con sus impuestos, se hizo primero de las vacunas en el mercado internacional. Invocando la importancia de la igualdad y la solidaridad, la primera crítica descansa en la premisa, intuitivamente atractiva, de que el acceso a la atención médica básica (y una vacuna en tiempos de pandemia parece calificar como tal) no debería depender de la riqueza del posible beneficiario. La segunda crítica invoca la equidad: los locales merecen vacunarse primero ya que su gobierno pagó por las vacunas, por lo que es injusto que los extranjeros se adelanten en la fila. El propósito central de este texto es poner en tela de juicio ambas posturas. Si bien pueden existir otras razones morales para oponerse a esta práctica, este par de críticas no parecen desacreditarla del todo desde una perspectiva ética.
Ahora se ve, ahora no se ve. La cuestión inquilinaria en la Ciudad de México
Authors: Azuela de la Cueva Antonio , Emanuelli Maria Silvia , Murillo López Sandra Carmen Gema
Published: October 2024

“Debo varios meses de renta ya que lo que gana mi pareja no alcanza para ajustar lo de la renta, yo vendo en el tianguis, me quedé sin mercancía, tenemos muchas deudas.” (Katya, 52 años)”. Este es un testimonio que se registró en el Sondeo sobre la situación de las personas que residían en viviendas rentadas, hipotecadas o prestadas en la CDMX antes de la pandemia, cuyos resultados aquí reportamos, y que fue realizado por la Coalición Internacional del Hábitat y el Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales en 2021. No creemos que esos testimonios sorprendan a nadie, porque fue una de las dimensiones globales de la pandemia el que muchas personas experimentaran dificultades para pagar su renta o su hipoteca. Lo que sí resulta llamativo es lo desigual que fue, de un país a otro, la reacción de los gobiernos frente al problema. En México esa reacción fue prácticamente nula, ya que no se ofreció ni apoyo económico ni protección jurídica alguna a quienes rentan su vivienda. En este capítulo nos proponemos aportar elementos para comprender el contexto en el que esto ocurrió, para el caso de la Ciudad de México. No es la primera vez que la cuestión inquilinaria es olvidada o pasa a un segundo plano. La huelga inquilinaria iniciada por las mujeres de La Huaca, barrio obrero de Veracruz, que tuvo lugar hace justamente un siglo, fue uno de los movimientos sociales más potentes del México posrevolucionario y, de no ser por algunos trabajos académicos y algunas organizaciones sociales, habría caído en el olvido.1 Ahora, el olvido de quienes rentan su vivienda toma una forma enteramente nueva, la de su total exclusión de la agenda pública de la pandemia. Para combatir este olvido hay que comenzar por recordar la importancia del arrendamiento en el horizonte de la vivienda hoy en día: como se explica más adelante, más de una cuarta parte de las viviendas de la Ciudad de México son rentadas, aunque esa proporción sería mucho mayor si se pudiese cuantificar el arrendamiento informal que se oculta detrás de la categoría de viviendas “prestadas” en las fuentes oficiales. Este trabajo consta de tres apartados. El primero da cuenta de las respuestas que se dieron en otras partes del mundo para proteger a quienes no podían pagar sus rentas. Enseguida se presentan los datos del Sondeo, para ilustrar algunas de las manifestaciones más críticas de la situación de la vivienda en renta durante la pandemia. El tercer apartado expone los rasgos más destacados del régimen inquilinario en México y examina el debate que se dio en torno a una iniciativa que pretendía mejorar el régimen inquilinario en el Código Civil y que ni siquiera llegó a discutirse formalmente por el Congreso. Finalmente, en las conclusiones argumentamos que, con todos estos elementos, es ineludible reconocer la cuestión inquilinaria como parte fundamental de las políticas sociales del mundo actual.

Published: October 2024

Scorpion species diversity in Colima was investigated with a multigene approach. Fieldwork produced 34 lots of scorpions that were analyzed with 12S rDNA, 16S rDNA, COI, and 28S rDNA genetic markers. Our results confirmed prior phylogenetic results recovering the monophyly of the families Buthidae and Vaejovidae, some species groups, and genera. We recorded 11 described species of scorpions and found 3 putatively undescribed species of Centruroides, 1 of Mesomexovis, and 1 of Vaejovis. Furthermore, we obtained evidence that Centruroides elegans, C. infamatus, and C. limpidus do not occur in Colima, contrary to prior reports. Seven genetically different and medically relevant species of Centruroides for Colima are recorded for the first time. We used the InDRE database (Instituto de Diagnóstico y Referencia Epidemiológicos), which contains georeferenced points of scorpions, to estimate the distribution of the scorpion species found in our fieldwork. Finally, we discuss from a biogeographical, ecological, and medical point of view the presence and origin of the 14 scorpion species found in Colima.
Rediscovery of Eunoe crassa and clarification of some morphological features (Annelida: Aphroditiformia: Polynoidae)
Authors: Salazar-Vallejo Sergio I. , Conde-Vela Victor M. , López-Sánchez Daniel A.
Published: October 2024

Aaron Treadwell described Lagisca crassa from Punta Arenas, Chile 100 years ago, based on an incomplete specimen. The species was later regarded as belonging in Eunoe Malmgren, 1865, but the species has not been found after its original description. The rediscovery of specimens collected in Punta Arenas has allowed us to evaluate its morphology to clarify some incompletely known features. Further, a comparison of the holotype of L. crassa with specimens of Hermadion magalhaensi Kinberg, 1856, led us to conclude these 2 species-group names are synonyms. We provide additional information and illustrations, and make some remarks on Eunoe and Hermadion Kinberg, 1856.
Engineering Origami: A Systematic Literature Review in the context of Space Technology, Design, and Applications
Authors: Kashikar Aryan Amit
Published: October 2024

Abstract: Origami is the ancient art of Japanese paper folding. For years it has been used to create stunning works of art. But origami has also been used in more surprising ways, like car airbags, stents, and even space exploration. Origami is a bit more than just a paper crane. Engineers use it for use, solve the interesting problems. Origami teaches how to fold very large thin sheets into very small spaces. And that's exactly what space engineers need. The reason for incorporating origami for space applications is to launch structures in space that are just amazingly big using flashers, starshade folding, tessellations, etc. So being able to fold these structures such that they fit neatly within our rocket and then unfold when they get to space. The researcher has attempted to do a literature review and to demonstrate how origami can be used in aerospace engineering and related fields. Innovative aerospace solutions such as morphing aircraft wings and deployable space constructions are made possible by the principles of origami. Using sophisticated modelling and simulation tools is essential for creating intricate origami structures for aerospace applications.

Published: October 2024

Robotic Surgery has made possible to remove cancerous organs and tissues in gynecologic cancer patients with less invasive methods. Gynecologist have observed that these minimally invasive surgeries often result in fewer complications and a faster recovery time. As robotic technology continues to develop, the potential advantages of robotic surgery in gynecologic oncology are becoming increasingly evident. Robotic Surgery offers greater precision and control during complex procedures, which can lead to improved patient outcomes and fewer complications. Robotic surgery can often outcome in smaller hospital halts and a rapid return to normal activities. Consequently, more and more GOs are adopting Robotic Surgery to provide their patients with the most advanced and effective treatment options available. Robotic Surgery is now a viable option compared to traditional open surgery. Since its extensive use, negligibly aggressive surgery has become a suitable choice not only for those with severe obesity, but also for women with gynecologic cancers, where traditional open surgery is often associated with significant complications. This review investigates the rationale behind Robotic Surgery, evaluates early results, analyzes its cost-effectiveness and implications for surgical training, and explores innovative applications of robotic-surgical procedure in the treatment of gynecologic cancer.

Authors: Kabashi Gazmend , Kola Luan , Kabashi Skender , Ajredini Fadil
Published: October 2024

The Energy and transport sector in Kosovo are the main emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) with a share of about 85% in total annual emissions. In energetic sector, 95-97% of emissions are associated with the electricity generation due to the predominant role of lignite fuelled power plants. The electricity sector contributes about 80% of total CO2 emissions in Kosovo. Those make the energy and transport sector the main emitters of CO2 and also the main target for CO2 emissions reduction. The National Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 aims to ensure a reliable supply of energy for Kosovo and proposes targets for renewable, energy efficiency, and greenhouse gas reductions. This paper presents analyses of different time frame scenarios for development of the Kosovo energy system in relation to climate change mitigation potential of the Kosovo energy and transport sector. The national energy system of Kosovo is modelled using EnergyPLAN software which integrates energy for electricity, transport and heat, and includes hourly fluctuations of energy demand and energy production. Three scenarios of Kosovo Energy system are modelled; starting point scenario 2019 and two long term scenarios 2030 with 23.3% and 41.8% share of renewable. An analysis of the overall energy system costs and security of supply with a main focus in electricity sector of the three scenarios is performed.
Multilevel analysis of factors affecting the interhospital transfer of high-acuity pediatric patients: a focus on severe pediatric emergency patients
Authors: Kim Jiyeon , Yang Miyeon , Park Eunhwa , Lee Myounghwa
Published: October 2024

Purpose: The authors aimed to identify the factors affecting interhospital transfer (“transfer”) of severe pediatric patients who visited to an emergency department (ED).Methods: Using the Korean National ED Information System, we analyzed high-acuity patients aged 18 years or younger who visited EDs of local or regional emergency centers nationwide. The high acuity was defined as a Korean Triage and Acuity Scale 1-2. To investigate the factors associated with transfer, a multilevel modeling was selected, examining independent variables at both individual- and hospital-levels with transfer as a dependent variable.Results: A model consisting of variables at individual- and hospital-levels showed the factors as follows: mode of arrival(self-transport: odds ratio, 0.48 [95% confidence interval, 0.38-0.61]; other ambulances: 0.41 [0.24-0.71]; compared with firehouse ambulance), visit at 18:00-07:59 (0.75 [0.64-0.88]), intentional injury (1.59 [1.03-2.47]; compared with non-injury), decreased level of consciousness (drowsy: 1.94 [1.33-2.84]; stupor: 4.08 [2.99-5.57]; coma: 1.81 [1.26-2.60]; compared with alert), severe illness diagnosis (1.49 [1.12-1.98]), the number of all beds in EDs (1.02 [1.01-1.04]), and acceptance for treatment (0.92 [0.87-0.98]; with increment of 1%).Conclusion: This study confirms that both individual-level and hospital-level factors affect the transfer risk of severe pediatric patients in EDs. The study suggests the needs for direct transportation to specialized pediatric treatment facilities, and concentrated support for the pediatric emergency medical centers and pediatric trauma centers.

This case report describes a successful use of normothermic targeted temperature management (TTM) for the treatment of a 14-year-old girl with exertional heat stroke. Upon hospitalization, she exhibited a 40.5 ℃ core temperature and multiorgan failure. We immediately applied the TTM, targeting a range of 36-37 ℃. Her condition improved rapidly, with vital signs stabilized and consciousness fully regained by day 3. She experienced a bimodal pattern of rhabdomyolysis during recovery, which was managed without further complications. No neurological sequelae were observed, and all laboratory parameters were normalized before discharge on day 10. This case suggests the potential efficacy of normothermic TTM in pediatric heat stroke.

Purpose: Intussusception is a common pediatric surgical emergency and non-operative reduction is its first line of management. We aimed to compare 3 contemporary techniques of intussusception reduction.Methods: A retrospective study was performed in 3 tertiary care centers in India from January 2017 through December 2019. In the 3 centers, the primary reduction techniques were ultrasound-guided saline reduction (USR), fluoroscopy-guided pneumatic reduction (FPR), and fluoroscopy-guided barium reduction (FBR), respectively. As per these techniques used, we compared clinical characteristics, such as the successful reduction.Results: A total of 255 patients underwent one of the 3 reduction techniques in the study period. Reduction was successful in 90.3%, 85.1%, and 87.7% in the USR, FPR, and FBR groups, respectively (P = 0.961). Mean time to reduction was shorter in the FPR group (30.8 ± 8.9 seconds), compared with the USR (575.0 ± 242.3 seconds) and FBR groups (495.0 ± 118.4 seconds; P < 0.001). Recurrence rates were 11.8%, 20.3%, and 15.8% in the USR, FPR, and FBR groups, respectively (P = 0.522). No association was found between the patients’ age or symptom duration and the successful reduction. One patient in the USR group, 3 in the FPR group, and 4 in the FBR group reported second recurrences. Perforation occurred in 1 patient in the FPR group while no complications occurred in the other groups. There was no in-hospital mortality.Conclusion: All 3 techniques are equally effective, with FPR requiring a shorter time than the other 2 techniques. The reduction technique should be chosen based on the strengths and weaknesses of each technique, as well as local availability.

Purpose: The declining recruitment rate of pediatric residents in Korea has led to a decrease in the number of emergency departments (EDs) offering a 24/7 pediatric emergency care (PEC). This study evaluated the impact of reduced PEC hours on the utilization patterns of a single ED.Methods: We reviewed medical records of pediatric patients who were defined as individuals aged 14 years or younger undergoing pediatricians’ practices in a tertiary hospital ED in Korea. Given the reduction of PEC hours from full-time to 08:00-24:00 on September 27, 2022, the patients were grouped as those who visited during March 27, 2022-September 26, 2022 (“control”), and those who visited during September 27, 2022-March 26, 2023 (“reduction”). The following variables were analyzed between the 2 periods: the number of patients, age, sex, visits via ambulances, severity by the Korean Triage and Acuity Scale with high acuity (a level 1-2 of the scale), disease-related visits, time of visit, ED length of stay (EDLOS), disposition, chief complaints, and diagnoses.Results: Among 3,577 pediatric patients, 1,315 visited the ED during the reduction period, down by 41.9% in numbers from the control period. From the control to reduction periods, we observed an increase in the median age (from 3.0 years [interquartile range, 1.0-7.0] to 4.0 years [1.0-8.0]; P = 0.005) and decreases in the median EDLOS (from 140.0 minutes [80.0-217.0] to 104.0 minutes [54.0-169.8]; P < 0.001) and proportion of hospitalization (from 22.1% to 12.6%; P < 0.001). No change was observed in the proportions of highacuity cases or chief complaints. We noted decreases in infection-related diagnoses during the reduction.Conclusion: Reducing PEC hours was associated with shorter EDLOS, fewer hospitalizations, and older age, with no difference in the severity. Even with reduced PEC hours, relevant resources should be redistributed to ensure the accessibility to PEC.

This case report highlights the improvement in CLBBB and symptom relief through reverse cardiac remodeling in a patient diagnosed with DCM following an optimized heart failure treatment regimen consisting of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, beta-blocker, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist. This case highlights the potential of electrical remodeling and conduction system improvement in patients with DCM receiving optimized medical therapy.
Unusual presentation of fetal ventriculomegaly: a case report
Authors: Lee Sang Yoon
Published: October 2024

Fetal ventriculomegaly (VM) is a relatively common finding during prenatal examinations and occurs in approximately 0.2% of live births. Although there are various causes, obstructive VM due to cerebellar hemorrhage is exceedingly rare. A 33-year-old primigravida presented at 32 weeks of gestation with VM. At 36 weeks of age, a male infant was delivered via cesarean section. Postnatal imaging revealed severe bilateral hydrocephalus and space-occupying lesions in the cerebellum. Initial concerns about a potential germ cell tumor were raised due to elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid. An external ventricular drain was placed to manage obstructive hydrocephalus. When the baby was 1 month old, surgical exploration revealed an old blood clot without any evidence of a tumor. Histopathological examination confirmed an old hemorrhage with no malignant cells. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges in distinguishing between hemorrhages and tumors in the context of fetal VM. Despite elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels, no tumors were identified. The underlying cause of cerebellar hemorrhage remains unclear despite extensive workups. Nevertheless, this case report details multifaceted diagnostic efforts to address the rare occurrence of cerebellar hemorrhage related to fetal VM, leading to a comprehensive case presentation.

Disseminated tuberculosis (TB), resulting from the hematogenous spread of tubercle bacilli, typically affects immunocompromised individuals, such as those infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. However, risk factors in immunocompetent populations are not well understood. Here, we report a rare case of disseminated TB with CD4+ T-cell depletion in a previously healthy 35-year-old man. The patient presented with a 2-month history of intermittent gross hematuria, dysuria, loose stools, and weight loss. His medical history was unremarkable except for a herpes zoster infection 4 years prior to presentation. Laboratory tests revealed microscopic hematuria and pyuria; however, the urine culture was negative. Urine specimens tested positive for TB-polymerase chain reaction. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a focal filling defect in the left kidney, segmental wall thickening of the terminal ileum, and multiple enlarged lymph nodes with central necrosis. Chest computed tomography revealed active pulmonary TB. Colonoscopy confirmed intestinal TB in the terminal ileum and ileocecal valve, with positive TB-polymerase chain reaction results from sputum and ileal ulcer tissue. The patient was diagnosed with disseminated TB and was treated with standard anti-TB drugs. Although the human immunodeficiency virus test results were negative, the patient’s CD4+ T-cell count was significantly low (278/μL). Follow-up tests after 1 month showed negative TB cultures; however, the patient’s CD4+ T-cell depletion persisted, with counts remaining low after 1 year. This case highlights the rare occurrence of disseminated TB in immunocompetent individuals with CD4+ T-cell depletion and emphasizes the importance of CD4+ T-cell assessment in healthy patients presenting with disseminated TB.
Retrograde instillation of methylene blue for the localization of bronchopleural fistula
Authors: Lee Jonghoo
Published: October 2024

Bronchopleural fistulas (BPF) resulting from pulmonary resection, radiation, or a direct tumor mass effect are associated with significant morbidity, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of mortality. Diagnosing BPF can be challenging, even with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and bronchoscopy. We report a case in which retrograde methylene blue instillation during bronchoscopy successfully confirmed the diagnosis of BPF.
