Laryngeal foreign body impaction: A case series
Authors: Fuentes Matthew Elyss A , Soriano Ronaldo G , Aragon Miguel
Published: October 2023

The objectives of the study were to report a case series of foreign body (FB) impaction in adult larynx and to describe their clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and therapeutic management. This is a case series study design in a tertiary government hospital. One case had a sewing needle at the glottic level piercing the left arytenoid posteriorly and the inferior border of the epiglottis anteriorly. The second case had a fish operculum in a sagittal position located at the subglottis. And, the third case had a chicken bone in the supraglottis and airway obstruction due to a massive blood clot. Direct laryngoscopy with successful removal of FBs was performed under general anesthesia or intravenous (IV) sedation. Plain radiographs are the ideal initial diagnostic imaging in these cases but there is a possibility of false negative of 47%, and thus, CT scan is recommended for meat bone with a higher specificity rate of 45% in stable patients with protracted duration of symptoms. Emergency FB extraction is warranted in these cases to prevent airway trauma, massive bleeding, and laryngoedema, but the anesthetic and surgical approach is still a case-to-case basis depending on the size, location, nature of FB, and status of the patient.

Authors: Kovalev Vitaley , Tariq Ayesha
Published: October 2023

Krukenberg tumors are a type of rare metastatic ovarian cancer that are primarily derived from the gastrointestinal tract. The literature does not agree on a single classification of Krukenberg tumors and uses several characteristics to describe them including histopathology and cancer origin. This can lead to incorrect or delayed diagnoses, which can affect management, treatment, and overall patient outcome. This review compiles current knowledge of Krukenberg tumors including tumor pathophysiology, diagnostics, and treatment options.

Authors: Varela Cristopher , Terán Adrian , Lopez Sthephfania , Millan German
Published: October 2023

Short- and long-term complications of stapled hemorrhoidopexy have been extensively discussed during the popularization of the technique, with set complications remarkably decreasing with the progress of learning curves and improvements in the technique. We describe the management of a 58-year-old woman with a history of stapled hemorrhoidopexy who presented with proctalgia and recurrent tenesmus 12 months after the intervention. A 4-cm diverticulum in the lower rectum with fecal material inside was evidenced without a fistula. A transanal diverticulectomy was performed with primary repair of the rectal wall, with the postoperative disappearance of the symptoms. Iatrogenic rectal pseudodiverticul is an infrequent complication due to areas of focal weakness along the rectal wall after failing to complete resection of the mucosa at the circumference of the anastomosis or ineffective stapling of the entire circumference.

Authors: Rizk Mariam , Cremona Simone , Toor Asad A. , Nunoo-Mensah Joseph W.
Published: October 2023

Background:

The natural progression and life expectancy of patients following a diagnosis of treatable colorectal cancer who receive only symptomatic treatment, nonoperative palliative therapy, or noncurative surgical interventions are relatively unknown.

Objectives:

The objective of this retrospective study was to examine the survival of patients following a diagnosis of primary nonmetastatic colorectal cancer who did not undergo major surgery for the purpose of curative treatment.

Design:

A retrospective observational study.

Study Settings:

Department of Colorectal Surgery, King’s College Hospital, London.

Patient and Methods:

A retrospective study of patients with stages I–III colorectal cancer who had not undergone noncurative surgery, palliative chemotherapy, or radiotherapy between 2012 and 2019 was conducted. Multivariate and univariate analyses were used to evaluate the prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS).

Main Outcome Measure:

OS.

Sample Size:

A total of 78 patients.

Results:

A total of 78 patients were enrolled in this study. The median survival rate was 296 days or 9.7 months, and the mean survival rate was 385 days (15–1894 days). The 1- and 2-year OS rates were 37.2% and 3.8%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that three parameters were statistically significant for OS with a significant correlation with performance status (PS) (P = 0.004), tumor stage (pT) (P = 0.030), and lymph node metastasis (pN) (P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that pN2 (hazard ratio: 2.19, 95% confidence index: -1.1–4.4) and PS 3 and 4 (hazard ratio: 0.525, 95% confidence index: 0.3–1.0, P = 0.026) were prognostic factors associated with OS.

Conclusion:

Operable colorectal cancer patients without surgical resection have an OS rate of <1 year; a higher T and N stage is associated with adverse prognosis.

Limitations:

Our study is limited by its retrospective nature and small sample size. In addition, patients underwent various palliative interventions based on their unique clinical, pathological, and social needs.

Considerations for ISO 26262 ASIL Hazard Classification
Authors:   Functional Safety Committee
Published: October 2023

This SAE Recommended Practice presents a method and example results for determining the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) for automotive motion control electrical and/or electronic (E/E) systems. The ASIL determination activity is required by ISO 26262-3, and it is intended that the process and results herein are consistent with ISO 26262. The technical focus of this document is on vehicle motion control systems. The scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is limited to collision-related hazards associated with motion control systems. This SAE Recommended Practice focuses on motion control systems since the hazards they can create generally have higher ASIL ratings, as compared to the hazards non-motion control systems can create. Because of this, the Functional Safety Committee decided to give motion control systems a higher priority and focus exclusively on them in this SAE Recommended Practice. ISO 26262 has a wider scope than SAE J2980, covering other functions and accidents (not just motion control or collisions as in SAE J2980).

Authors: Karishma Agrawal  , Supachai Vorapojpisut
Published: October 2023

This study proposes a statistical model to characterize the temporal characteristics of an entire production process. The model utilizes received signal strength indicator (RSSI) data obtained from a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) network. A hidden semi-Markov model (HSMM) is formulated based on the characteristics of the production process, and the forward-backward algorithm is employed to re-estimate the probability distribution of state durations. The proposed method is validated through numerical, simulation, and real-world experiments, yielding promising results. The results show that the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) score of 0.1843, while the simulation achieves an average vector distance score of 0.9740. The real-time experiment also shows a reasonable accuracy, with an average HSMM estimated throughput time of 30.48 epochs, compared to the average real throughput time of 33.99 epochs. Overall, the model serves as a valuable tool for predicting the cycle time and throughput time of a production line.

Authors: Lay Boon Tan  , Milad Hafezolghorani  , Azman Mohamed  , Khaled Ghaedi  , Yen Lei Voo
Published: October 2023

This study aims to develop a new thixotropic ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) overlay for the repair and strengthening of damaged hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. The overlay is purposely designed to accommodate the roadway slope of up to 10% due to presence of viscosifying agent materials. The original UHPC materials are comprised of granite aggregate, ultra-fine calcium carbonate, shrinkage-reducing admixture, viscosifying agent, and expansive agent. The study is conducted with three sets of samples provided and considers thixotropic and mitigated shrinkage properties through comparing control (non-thixotropic) overlay 1 (thixotropic), and overlay 2 (thixotropic) mixtures. Based on the obtained results, only overlay 1 corresponds to the minimum requirement for pavement rehabilitation, with 160-200 mm flowability and -545.3 µm/m free shrinkage. As a result, an average 50 mm thick overlay 1 is selected to repair a damaged HMA pavement (1800 m2), while the field implementation procedures and drawing details are also presented in this paper.

Charte de Kurukan Fuga : mémoire et communauté
Authors: Saïbou Adamou Amadou
Published: October 2023

L’article a pour objet la Charte de Kurukan Fuga produite oralement au 13e siècle, à l’instauration de l’empire du Mali, dans une société à peine sortie d’une longue guerre. Le texte a été récemment (2008) reproduit sous forme écrite et moderne. La Charte de Kurukan Fuga suscite un grand débat. Les discours tenus à son propos le sont le plus souvent sous le régime de l’épidictique. Les uns le louent, l’élevant même au rang de première constitution élaborée par l’Homme ; les autres le réfutent, n’y voyant qu’une manipulation, le produit d’un grossier montage dont l’ambition cachée est la réinstauration d’un état féodal. Le présent article – qui n’ignore pas cette polémique – étudie la Charte (la version écrite de 2008) sous la grille argumentative et pragmatique de l’analyse du discours. Il s’appuie sur les dimensions mémorielles du texte, pour rendre compte de sa réception controversée, pour en identifier les composants et en comprendre l’intentionnalité. Après un rappel sur la genèse, l’évolution formelle et la réception du texte, l’exposé démontre que la Charte de Kurukan Fuga est une mémoire discursive à caractère incitatif. Sa transdiscursivité en fait, à l’origine, le témoin particulier d’une société pluriculturelle et d’une volonté politique de conciliation et de progrès.

L’altérité en discours : une ressource argumentative dans le discours de campagne ?
Authors: COULIBALY Nanourougo
Published: October 2023

La réflexion qui suit est construite autour de la notion d’altérité prise comme la qualité de ce qui est autre et reconnu comme tel dans son rapport avec un point de référence. Ce point de référence peut être culturel, racial, langagier ou discursif. Quel que soit le domaine, elle est une identité remarquable qui rompt avec une certaine homogénéité. L’intérêt de la réflexion est porté sur l’altérité dans un contexte discursif et plus spécifiquement dans le discours de campagne électorale en Côte d’Ivoire en 2010 : celui de Laurent Gbagbo. L’étude démontre que l’altérité discursive est une véritable stratégie de communication que l’opposant historique à Félix Houphouët-Boigny, devenu président de la République, a choisi visiblement pour construire son image présidentielle d’homme de la situation et déconstruire celle des autres.

The main objective of construction management is to manage or regulate the implementation of construction projects, so that results are obtained in accordance with what was planned, both the time of implementation, the cost of implementation and the quality produced. In order to achieve the main objectives of construction management, one of the important factors that must be considered is labor productivity. In a construction project the factors that affect labor productivity include wages, time, equipment, formal education, work experience, location of materials, number of helpers (laden) and so on. Controlling the time and cost of this construction was carried out on the CHECKDAM construction project in the Cikeruh area, Jatinangor sub-district, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia. Previously, Cikeruh Village was included in the Jatinangor District area, which was originally named the Cikeruh sub-district. However, over time, in 2000, the Cikeruh sub-district officially changed its name to the Jatinangor sub-district, West Java, with the aim of knowing the performance of the project. This control is carried out based on completed projects in terms of time and cost control using the concept of Earned Value Analysis which consists of three indicators, namely BCWS, BCWP, and ACWP. This control is carried out on time deviations (SV), deviations from costs (CV), deviations from the total budget (BV). The analysis was carried out in units of weeks (12 weeks). Based on Earned Value analysis, the deviation from the schedule (SV) in the Check Dam Development in Bandung and Sumedang Regencies is 0.
