Management of Subintimal Position of Kissing Stents using Re-entry Catheter with Cone Beam-Computed Tomography Image Overlaid onto Live Fluoroscopy
Authors: Pescatori Lorenzo C , Kobeiter Hicham , Derbel Haytham , Desgranges Pascal , Tacher Vania
Published: June 2021

Background: Several endovascular or surgical treatments have been proposed to treat total chronic occlusions of the iliac bifurcation. Nowadays, endovascular options are considered as a first choice because of the decreased perioperative morbidity–mortality. Nevertheless, unexpected intraoperative events may occur, such as dissection or rupture of the iliac artery. We report a case of inadvertent bilateral false-lumen kissing-stent positioning, rescued with stent extensions maneuvered using image fusion guidance.
Case presentation: A 60-year-old male patient was referred to our department because of a severe bilateral claudication, 8 months after placement of an iliac kissing stent for common iliac artery occlusion. A computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed, showing a bilateral dissection of the aorto-iliac bifurcation at the proximal part of the stents, which were placed into the false lumen; the distal part was placed into the true lumens (TL). Lower-limb perfusion was maintained by inferior mesenteric and hypogastric arteries. Because a CTA performed before the first endovascular intervention showed no dissection of the aortic bifurcation, the flaps were probably created during previous interventions. An endovascular revision was planned. After bilateral femoral access, the proximal part of the flap was pierced with a needle-based re-entry device, deployed under three-dimensional cone-beam CT image overlay with bi-planar fluoroscopy. The lumen patency was then restored with stent extensions up to the renal ostia. The final angiography showed stent patency. No complication occurred during the intervention. The patient was dismissed the following day, with good arterial femoral pulse and no further complications. An ultrasound color Doppler performed 1 month after the intervention showed satisfactory blood flow of both iliac and femoral arteries as well as a good flow in the lower limbs.
Conclusions: The integration of modern 3D image guidance and novel endovascular devices allows for the management of adverse events using a minimally invasive approach.

Published: June 2021

Background: Training vascular access skills for Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) to emergency physicians (EPs) could contribute to better outcomes in patients with non-compressible truncal hemorrhage. This study aimed to determine whether a concise training program could train EPs to recognize anatomical structures and correctly visualize and identify the puncture site for percuta­neous REBOA catheter placement.
Methods: Our training program included basic anatomy and training in access materials for REBOA. Participants underwent expert-guided practice on each other and were then tested on key skills: the identification of anatomical structures, anatomy knowledge, technical skills for vascular access imaging with a handheld ultrasound, and time to identify adequate puncture site of the common femoral artery (CFA). Consultant vascular surgeons functioned as expert controls.
Results: Eleven EPs participated. They had a median overall technical skills score of 32.5 (27.0–35.0) and median time to identify the CFA puncture site of 52.9 s (35.6–63.7), which improved to 34.0 s (21.2–44.7) at the post-test (Z = –2.756, P = 0.006). Consultant vascular surgeons were significantly faster (P = 0.000).
Conclusions: EPs are capable of visualizing the femoral artery and vein within 1 min. This speed improved rapidly after repetition. Our concise training program proved useful regardless of prior endovascular experience. This program, as a component of an expanded Endovascular Resuscitation and Trauma Management curriculum, in combination with realistic task training models (simulator, perfused cadaver, or live tissue) has the potential to provide effective training of the skills required to competently perform REBOA.

Published: June 2021

Background

Given its high economic and societal cost, policymakers might be reluctant to implement a large-scale lockdown in case of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic rebound. They may consider it as a last resort option if alternative control measures fail to reduce transmission.

Aim

We developed a modelling framework to ascertain the use of lockdown to ensure intensive care unit (ICU) capacity does not exceed a peak target defined by policymakers.

Methods

We used a deterministic compartmental model describing transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the trajectories of COVID-19 patients in healthcare settings, accounting for age-specific mixing patterns and an increasing probability of severe outcomes with age. The framework is illustrated in the context of metropolitan France.

Results

The daily incidence of ICU admissions and the number of occupied ICU beds are the most robust indicators to decide when a lockdown should be triggered. When the doubling time of hospitalisations estimated before lockdown is between 8 and 20 days, lockdown should be enforced when ICU admissions reach 3.0–3.7 and 7.8–9.5 per million for peak targets of 62 and 154 ICU beds per million (4,000 and 10,000 beds for metropolitan France), respectively. When implemented earlier, the lockdown duration required to get back below a desired level is also shorter.

Conclusions

We provide simple indicators and triggers to decide if and when a last-resort lockdown should be implemented to avoid saturation of ICU. These metrics can support the planning and real-time management of successive COVID-19 pandemic waves.

Published: June 2021

The article explores the use of the elements of paleontology in extracurricular activities in the English language, since the materials enriched with the linguocultural and historical components contribute to the introduction of students to the linguistic cultures of other ethnic groups within a single state and increase the motivation for learning languages. The correct use of such materials in the project activities of schoolchildren provides opportunities for developing social activism and improving cross-cultural and linguistic competencies. The elements of paleontology in extracurricular activities in the English language could also contribute positively to the expansion of knowledge base in such school subjects as English and Biology and could potentially provide a deeper immersion in the culture and history of their country and their small homeland.
On correlation of musical and natural languages: rock music and english

Published: June 2021

The article deals with the points of intersection of musical discourse and national languages. This issue is relevant for modern linguistics, discourse studies in particular. The issue of the interpenetration of various discourse types over the last decade has been activated at all levels of the leading directions of the anthropocentric paradigm in academic research. Music and verbal language have repeatedly become the object of analysis and detection of semiotic interaction, but this has mainly concerned folk or classical music and folk songwriting. However, British rock music and English have been studied fragmentarily at the level of individual performers. The purpose of the article is to identify semiotic correlations between music and natural languages. The leading approach to studying the issue is a discourse analysis of empirical material at the level of terminology and prosody of sign functioning. A hypothesis is put forward that the worldwide success of British rock is due not only to the realization of the creative possibilities of talented musicians but to the specific structural and semantic features of the English language and British culture. The authors describe the synergetic elements of English phono-stylistics at the level of diphthong (triphthong) functioning, rhythmic prosody, melodic structures, versification mechanisms, and singing components. Several semiotic correlates of the verbal and non-verbal continuum of rock music and English have been identified. An important element of the discovered correlations is the belonging of musical and verbal discourses to the phenomenon of artistic creativity, in particular, the British historical and cultural tradition. The results of the study can be applied in further research in the field of synergetic correlation between three types of linguocultural substances: music, mentality, and national language.
Understanding the nature of the main character in russian literature on the material of the novel "A Hero of Our Time" by M.Y. Lermontov
Authors: Petrova Svetlana M.
Published: June 2021

The relevance of the study: The relevance of the study is conditioned by the necessity to popularize the Russian language in classes with a foreign audience by referring to Russian classical literature (on the example of the novel "A Hero of Our Time" by M.Y. Lermontov) with the use of innovational education technology of graphic and symbolic analysis of fiction. The purpose of the study is to create a system of lessons on the analysis of the novel "A Hero of Our Time" by M.Y. Lermontov for teaching the Russian language to a foreign audience with the application of modern technologies of teaching Russian literature to foreigners, using innovational teaching forms such as graphic symbols and key concepts reflecting the history, philosophy, traditions, and customs of the first quarter of the 19th century. Methods: The main method of study used for this problem is a creation of a graphic and symbolic system of analysis for the novel "A Hero of Our Time" by M.Y. Lermontov during Russian language classes for foreign students that would allow viewing this problem as an innovational method of teaching the Russian language to foreigners on the material of fiction. Results: The paper presents a system of graphic and symbolic analysis of the work of fiction, demonstrates the features of its application, develops an algorithm for the implementation of this system into teaching Russian to foreigners. Practical significance: The proposed system of graphic and symbolic analysis of a work of fiction in the context of teaching Russian to foreigners is an effective form of mastering the educational material for students which contributes to their realization of the communicative and linguoculturological competencies.
Precedent phenomena of the contemporary russian and spanish mass media as cognitive structures of a linguistic identity
Authors: Moiseenko Lilia V. , Mikheeva Natalia F.
Published: June 2021

The present study is important since precedent phenomena, transmitting both traditional and newly created cultural values, are more widely represented in the mass media language. The paper suggests a cognitive approach aimed at identifying the role of knowledge (linguistic, non-linguistic, individual) in forming the precedent unit meaning, being the primary object of research in cognitive science. Examples of universal precedent names (Napoleon, Cinderella, Don Quixote, Adam) suggest that they store culturally valued (thematized) and implicit knowledge shared by communicants. Studying the binary structures (designator/designatum) of a concept defines the development dynamics of the precedent name’s meaning, relevant changes in structure of the core components of meaning, desemantization of the precedent name. Different Russian and Spanish interpretations show that prevailing content varies, and the language meaning of an invariant of universal precedent names reflects not the reality as such but the cognitive structures of a linguistic identity of a particular society.

Authors: BEKER AKBULUT Gülçin , ÖZHAN TURHAN Duygu
Published: June 2021

The dyes used in the production of the textile industry are toxic substances that are resistant to biological treatment. Most of them have highly complex polymer structures. Salicylic acid (SA) is an important hormone produced by plants that provides tolerance to many biotic and abiotic stress factors. Duckweed (L. minor L.) are free floating plants. These plants have been used in laboratory toxicological studies by many researchers for reasons such as their high adaptability to aquatic environments, their small biomass and their high ability to accumulate contaminants. The aim of this study was to evaluate some biochemical changes in duckweed (L. minor L.) of 75 ppm, 150 ppm and 300 ppm Everzol Navy ED (ENED) reactive dyestuff and 0.5 mM SA and ENED application. Total chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were found higher at 0.5 mM SA and 300 ppm dye applied groups on day 7. Peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and Glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities and total glutathione (GSH) content were increased at 0.5 mM SA with ENED application groups. (Superoxide dismutase) SOD and Catalase (CAT) activity increased on days 1, 4 and 7 in both treatment groups. GR activity decreased in dye applied groups and 0.5 mM SA with dye applied groups on day 7. MDA content decreased on day 7 with 300 ppm dye application and 0.5 mM SA and 300 ppm dye application.
$14.5-Billion Per Year and Counting: Canadian Gambling Statistics
Authors: Stevens Rhys
Published: June 2021

Ask any gambler how much money they spend on gambling in a typical year and you’ll almost certainly see a quizzical look appear on their face. Individuals are frequently reluctant to disclose such information and those that do typically find it difficult to recall the specifics of their gambling spending. Gamblers who are willing and able to answer might also need some clarification since the question could be referring to either the cumulative amount of dollars gambled or the net dollar figure gambled after accounting for wins and losses[1].  But what if, instead of asking individual gamblers about their spending, one was attempting to determine gambling spending for the entire country of Canada including provinces and territories… are these figures even available? Are provincial and territorial gambling regulators and operators forthcoming with this information? The short answer is that, yes, it is indeed possible to determine a figure for Canada’s net commercial gambling revenue using available data[2]. In this article, I’ll describe my rationale for documenting available Canadian gambling statistics, methods employed, and challenges encountered. A selection of charts is interspersed throughout to illustrate key gambling statistics using examples from the Canadian Gambling Statistics (1970-2020) online database which was created to house these collected statistics and make them publicly accessible.

The Process of Constructing Speed-time Function from Distance-Time Function y=2χ by Students Using Different Reasoning Methods for Continuous Change
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Lee Donggun
Published: June 2021

This study investigates the way students perceive and express change in an exponential situation with different reasoning methods for continuous change - for example, students, who use chunky reasoning, construct a new function representing the change of exponential distance-time function. Using case study approach, the study presents the results of teaching experiments conducted on three high school freshmen students. It may be difficult to generalize the results since the sample size was limited; however, the findings have the potential to inform researchers in mathematics education about students’ conceptual knowledge of continuous change. The information about the process of constructing the speed-time function from the distance-time function based on the students' understanding of continuous change may also be helpful in interpreting student thinking in differential concept.

The need to accurately interpret geological models that approximate mineralized zones in a Basement Complex terrain necessitate the development of horizon loop electromagnetic method (HLEM) forward modeling solutions for such scenarios. The focus of the present work is on finding rapid forward modeling solutions for synthetic HLEM data as an aid in exploration for moderate to deep conductive mineral exploration targets.The main thrust is obtaining idealized HLEM models that are required for geological interpretation of the subsurface in such environment. The original HLEM equations developed by Wesley were extended to represent a horizontally stratified earth with a conductive approximated by shear zone. From these equations a computer program was written to calculate the HLEM responses for optimal conductor model with known values of coil separations (L), depth of burial (z) and angle of dip of the target.The thin conductive model was used because it is simple and suitable for different geological scenarios. The accuracy of the approximate forward solution has been confirmed for HLEM systems with various geometric ranges, frequencies and conductivities. Three models having varying overburden thickness, dip angle of target and source-receiver separation were used in the forward modeling. The effect of varying the dip angle,overburden thickness and coil separation was studied in all the three models used. The result obtained from the forward modeling showed that variation of the dip angle gave rise to changes in the amplitudes of the anomalies generated, while that of overburden and coil separation gave rise to changes in anomaly shape. Also, the geometry and position of the causative body were precisely delineated.

The adult worms of the Microphallidae family are mainly found as intestinal parasites of birds and mammals, while metacercariae is most commonly found in decapodal crustaceans. The Microphallidaeare family is spread throughout the world. It includes approximately 47 genera. Mature worms usually enter the digestive system of vertebrates, especially birds and mammals. Microphallidae contain eight subfamilies: Androcotylinae - Basantisiinae - Endocotylinae - Gynaecotylinae - Levinseniellinae - MaritrematinaeMicrophallinae - Sphairiotrematinae. Therefore, due to the lack of studies on the Microphallidae family in Iraq, we began to develop a database on this important family.

Authors: Joshua James Crose
Published: June 2021

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a terminal neurodegenerative disease with only a few minimally effective treatment options. This study treats a patient with Spinal ALS with Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Extracellular Vesicles (BM-MSCEVs) to slow or stop the progress of the disease. After 2 months and 4 treatments, the patient demonstrated improvement in ALS functional scores and most physical exam findings. BM-MSCEVs demonstrate the ability to effectively treat Spinal ALS in this study and open the door for future studies.

This paper presents an experimental investigation carried out to study the effects of non-water soluble Polyurethane Resin used in the modification of concrete mortar. The non-water soluble Polyurethane Resin (PU) was obtained from Fursa Industry and Tech Limited. The non-water soluble PU was used for this study do to its availability and low cost. Additives such as; Sulphur and Calcium Oxide responsible for binding and curing were used. Concrete mortar cubes of 50 x 50 x 50 mm respectively were produced with grade 42.5 Ordinary Portland Cement from Dangote Cement Limited. The ordinary Portland Cement was partially replaced with 0% (control), 15%, 25% and 35% non-water soluble Polyurethane Resin respectively. The influence of partial replacing Ordinary Portland Cement with non-water soluble Polyurethane was checked by testing the concrete mortar cubes for compressive strength testat7, 14 and 28 days respectively after casting and curing. It was observed that the addition of Polyurethane Resin as OPC partial replacement leads to considerable increase in compressive strength at 25% and 35% in comparison to the compressive strength of the control sample. The improvement in compressive strength was not significant beyond 35% Polyurethane replacement of OPC and was there accepted as the optimum percentage replacement.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in the management of English learning and to improve student achievement at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Yogyakarta. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews and observations. The research subjects were English teachers and deputy principals of SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Yogyakarta. The results of the study are as follows. First, English education planning is prepared based on subjects, competency standards, basic competencies, learning objectives, teaching modules, procedures, time allocation, learning activities, learning resources/equipment, and evaluation of distance education students' learning outcomes during the Covid- 19. Second, the implementation of education that the teacher is trying has been guided by the latest updated syllabus and online learning implementation plan. English teachers have practised innovative education during the Covid-19 pandemic, such as Google Classroom, Zoom, WhatsApp, and many more. Distance learning that the teacher applies is to open lessons, deliver modules or teaching materials two days before learning activities occur, and discuss learning with students where learning is student-centred. The educational process places more emphasis on the cognitive and psychomotor domains. Third, learning assessment uses pre-test and post-test when online education takes place. The evaluation method used in learning applies direct observation, carries out tests/exercises at the end of the lesson so that the teacher knows the weaknesses and measurements of each student. Learning support facilities at Muhammadiyah 3 High School Yogyakarta are equipped with a language laboratory to facilitate the implementation of learning English more effectively.

Authors:   Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Gazi University 06570 Ankara, Turkey, Kayış Mert
Published: June 2021

Makams of Classical Turkish Music have been tried to be classified through various studies for the past years. Significant differences of opinion have emerged in the classification process of the makams in Music Education and Literacy from past to present. This situation creates problems in learning the makams related to music education and recognizing the makams heard. Additionally, there are uncertainties in the classification of the makam genre of the song, as individual mistakes were made while notating the musical notes. Apart from that, this situation constitutes a problem not only for the ones studying Turkish Classical Music but also for the ones interested in this certain type of Music. Therefore, the objective of the research is to contribute to the makam classification in Classical Turkish Music Education by developing an MIR system that determines the makam of the songs. Theoretically, we can extract the properties of sound signals with Time Wavelet Scattering Feature Extraction, classify them with SVM and distinguish between types of makams. In this study, upon eight different Makams, a Musical Information Retrieval system has been created via the Artificial Intelligence (AI) method of Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Time Wavelet Scattering Feature Extraction and through using a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) accelerator for the sake of feature extraction. We performed the classification process by modeling it on the MATLAB program. The study's success rate was identified as 98.21% and it acquired a higher success rate compared to the other studies in the literature. After completing the classification procedure, the Makams were identified by sending samples belonging to different sound files from the system consisting of a database belonging to eight different Makams. In our study, the classification and detection processes were realized with nearly a hundred percent success. The difficulties encountered in classifying the makams in Classical Turkish Music mentioned above, with the application of artificial intelligence, the classification difficulty of individuals who have received this type of training or are interested in this subject has been overcome.

Tolerance to extremely low pH (< pH 3) is a crucial strategy that enables microorganisms to survive in the human stomach cavity. We found that the killing effect of ethanol on dormant cysts of soil protist Colpoda cucullus, and pathogenic bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 was enhanced under stomach acid's low pH condition. This result suggests that gastric-acid-tolerant microorganisms can be partly killed by drinking alcoholic beverages during meals. Keywords: Acid-tolerant microorganisms, ethanol, bactericidal effect.

Caso clínico. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 21 años con lesión aislada del páncreas tras traumatismo abdominal cerrado, que precisó manejo quirúrgico.

Discusión. Las lesiones pancreáticas aisladas secundarias a traumatismo son raras, pero debemos tenerlas en cuenta en un paciente politraumatizado. Su diagnóstico precoz y manejo adecuado son cruciales para evitar el desarrollo de complicaciones.
Challenging chest drainage: a case report
Authors: Bruno Jose
Published: June 2021

Introduction. Chest trauma is one of the most common causes of death corresponding to 20 to 25 % of cases. The majority of the patients (85%), can be managed with only a tube thoracostomy. Our objective by presenting this case report is to provide an example of how to manage a challenging chest tube thoracostomy in a patient with cardiac hernia diagnosed in the preoperative phase, based on signs of computed tomography.
Case report. A 45-year-old male presented to our emergency department who fell from a light pole 7 meters high. He fell to the ground on his back. Physical examination revealed a huge subcutaneous emphysema on his entire anterior chest wall and presented no sensitivity or movements below the navel line. After the initial assessment and management care, the patient improved. As the patient stabilized we decided to go to CT. The scan revealed pericardial rupture with only the right pericardial circumference intact, the heart herniated into the left pleural space, bilateral pneumothorax, small right hemothorax and a relevant subcutaneous emphysema surrounding the chest. We decided to perform the blunt dissection technique to insert chest tubes bilaterally because of safety. After performed it the patient was transferred to cardiothoracic department.
Discussion. There is a variety of techniques to perform tube thoracostomy but the blunt dissection remain the safer, especially when we are facing an anatomic distortion of the heart.
Conclusion. We present a case report of a challenging thoracic drainage performed in a patient with traumatic cardiac hernia, which procedure was successful.

Introducción. La Organización Mundial de la Salud define la obesidad como un incremento en el porcentaje de grasa corporal, generalmente acompañado de aumento en el peso, cuya cantidad y distribución condicionan la salud del individuo. Se caracteriza por ser una enfermedad crónica y de muy difícil manejo. La cirugía bariátrica es un procedimiento cada vez más frecuente, que ha demostrado ser la mejor opción terapéutica para el manejo de la obesidad moderada y severa, enfermedad que ha ido ganado terreno en el mundo. Según la Encuesta Nacional de la Situación Nutricional en Colombia 2015, la incidencia de sobrepeso fue del 37,8 % y de obesidad del 18,7 %. Con el incremento de la cirugía bariátrica primaria, también se ha incrementado la frecuencia de la cirugía bariátrica de revisión, conversión y reversión, siendo la de conversión la más frecuente.
Métodos. Estudio observacional retrospectivo en el que se analizaron los pacientes llevados a cirugía bariátrica de conversión en el Hospital Universitario San Ignacio entre 2014 y 2019.
Resultados. En nuestra institución la cirugía de conversión corresponde al 8,8 %, y coincide con la estadística mundial para este procedimiento. La causa más frecuente, a diferencia de la literatura, es el reflujo gastroesofágico, seguido de la reganancia de peso.
Discusión. Los resultados obtenidos en el Hospital Universitario San Ignacio se asemejan a las cifras mundiales de procedimientos de conversión. Se obtiene la resolución de los síntomas de reflujo gastroesofágico y el manejo adecuado de la reganancia de peso en un alto porcentaje de pacientes, con muy pocas complicaciones.
