Outcome Difference in Neurosurgical Patients Based on Timing of Tracheostomy and Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
Authors: Shrestha Pratyush , Lohani Subash , Shrestha Sunita , Devkota Upendra P
Published: May 2018

Background and Objective: Tracheostomy in neurosurgical patients has been shown in various studies to lower the length of ICU stay and the length of hospital stay by decreasing the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia. In this regard, we wanted to evaluate the outcome of neurosurgical ICU patients based on timing of tracheostomy and ventilator associated pneumonia.Methods: This is a retrospective single centre study performed over a period of two and a half years. Early tracheostomy was defi ned as those done three days of intubation or earlier and late as those done then after. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS.Results: There were 56 patients over the study period of which 18 patients underwent early tracheostomy and 38 patients underwent late tracheostomy. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups with regards to the length of ICU stay, the length of hospital stay or the length of tracheostomy tube in situ. But based on tracheal aspirate culture positivity, length of tracheostomy tube in situ was signifi cantly longer in those with positive bacterial cultures.Early tracheostomy does not improve neurosurgical outcome while documented pneumonia prolongs the length of tracheostomy tube in situ.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience 15:19-22, 2018

Ventriculo Peritoneal shunt catheter penetrating the Kidney: An unusual complication of shunt surgery
Authors: Teegala Ramesh , Kanumury Ramesh , Babu Nagendra , Sai BTS
Published: May 2018

Ventriculo Peritoneal (VP) shunt surgery is one of the commonly performed neurosurgical procedure in the management of hydrocephalus. Numerous complications related to this procedure are reported in the literature. Shunt malfunction related to the abdominal catheter is seen nearly 10-40% of cases. The catheter can perforate hollow viscous or solid organs. Among the solid organs, the kidney penetration was not reported in the English literature. We report an unusual case of VP shunt abdominal catheter migration in to kidney Ventriculo peritoneal shunt being one of the commonest procedures done by any neurosurgeon has many complications. Among them abdominal catheter complications like halo viscous perforation, abdominal wall perforation and extrusion through the natural orifices are considered to be rare. Solid organ perforations are very unusual and very limited numbers of these are reported.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience 15:27-28, 2018

Published: May 2018

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT) is a rare form of Stroke characterized by thrombus formation in the cerebral veins. CVT is a result of various reasons among which the hyperthyroidism is not so frequently encountered. This is probably the first case report published from Nepal. The aim of this case report is to give the message that persistent severe headache in patient with hyperthyroidism can be the red flag and needs to be investigated further. We present a case of a 35 years old female who presented with complaints of severe headache and persistent in nature associated with vomiting since 5 days. She was a diagnosed subacute thryroiditis and under medicine from 1 month before presenting to us. Her Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) brain showed venous thrombosis within superior saggital sinus, left transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus. Her thyroid function test showed pretreatment T3 of 2.98 ng/ml T4 of 1.02 mg/ ml and TSH of 0.12 μIU/L. She was kept on anticoagulants and other supportive measures. The patient showed improving status with the conservative management.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience 15:29-31, 2018
Cavum Septum Pellucidum Epidermoid- An Extremely rare occurrence
Authors: Srinivas Dwarakanath , Chalikwar Raghavendra , Mahadevan Anita , Somanna Sampath
Published: May 2018

Supratentorialintraventricularepidermoids are very rare and midline septal pellucidal epidermoids are even more uncommon with only one case being reported in available literature. A 42-year-old lady with no previous complaints was admitted to the emergency services with history of intermittent headache, vomiting and giddiness of 3 months duration. A cranial computed tomography (CT) revealed a hypodense, non-enhancing intraventricular mass lesion and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a non-enhancing mass lesion in the septum pellucidum suggestive of an epidermoid. She underwent endoscopic-assisted surgery via an interhemispheric transcallosal approach. Intra-operatively, the lesion was located in the enlarged cavum septum pellucidum and was removed totally. An extensive literature review unearthed only 10 cases of intraventricular epidermoids and one in the septum pellucidum. We present only the second case of a midline septum pellucidum epidermoid and reflect on the paucity of supratentorial intraventricular midline epidermoids.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience 15:32-34, 2018

The Postnatal Subventricular Zone: A Source of New Cells in This Old Brain
Authors: Bordey Angélique
Published: May 2018

Findings over the past decades demonstrating persistent neurogenesis in the adult brain have challenged the view of a fixed circuitry and raise hopes for self-renewal following brain injury. The subventricular zone (SVZ, also called subependymal layer, SEL) lining the lateral wall of the lateral ventricle is the largest germinal center where stem cells displaying astrocytic traits have been identified. These astrocyte-like cells ensheath neuroblasts, which migrate throughout the SVZ and along the rostral migratory stream to the olfactory bulb where they differentiate into interneurons. The cellular architecture of the SVZ has been essential for the development of hypotheses to explain how intercellular signaling and non-synaptic communication could regulate neurogenesis. An array of signaling molecules have recently been identified that may offer future strategies to promote neurogenesis and reroute neuroblasts to higher cognitive centers.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 2, Number 1, 2005, page: 12-23

Authors: Rana PVS , Shetti Mohit P. , Thapa Lekhjung
Published: May 2018

Five cases of atlanto-axial dislocation (AAD) are reported with emphasis on their clinical presentation and literature is reviewed. The first patient had gross AAD and presented as progressive myelopathy. The second patient had AAD with occipitalization of atlas, Chiari malformation and syringomyelia where headache was the only presenting symptom. The third patient with AAD, had occipitalization of atlas and fusion of cervical second and third (C2- C3) vertebrae. She presented with peculiar sensation over forehead. Detection of pathologically brisk tendon reflexes in the lower limbs and extensor plantar response led to further investigation and diagnosis of the condition. The fourth patient had AAD and advanced spondylotic changes. His symptoms manifested after injury and then progressed gradually leading to quadriplegia. The fifth case presented with nuchal and occipital neuralgia, paresthesia in hands and brisk reflexes. X-ray cervical spine showed unfused, separate but fully developed odontoid process and AAD. All these patients represented congenital AAD. Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 2, Number 1, 2005, Page 71-76

Published: May 2018

Spontaneous intracerebral hematomas usually produce the sudden onset of devastating neurological symptoms. We describe a case showing slowly progressive clinical symptoms followed by a sudden deterioration caused by two different types of intracerebral hematomas coexisting in the adjacent area. A 72-year-old female with a 2-year history of Alzheimer’s disease and a 3-month history of occasional headache and vomiting was admitted after she experienced the sudden onset of right hemiparesis and a speech disturbance. Neuroradiological examinations demonstrated two different types of intracerebral hematomas coexisting in the left temporal lobe. The patient underwent a left frontotemporal craniotomy. A solid hematoma was found immediately below the cortex and a large hematoma cavity, which contained degraded bloody fluid, was found below the solid hematoma. Histological study demonstrated an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The AVM may have been responsible for the pathogenesis of these two different types of intracerebral hematomas. Initially, a silent intracerebral hemorrhage from the AVM and liquefaction of the hematoma probably formed the cavity and repeated small subclinical hemorrhages into the cavity during a prolonged period of time may have caused the growth of the inner hematoma. The sudden rupture of the AVM most likely caused the outer solid hematoma, resulting in the abrupt onset of hemiparesis and speech disturbance. This is the first case to demonstrate two different types of intracerebral hematomas coexisting in the adjacent area. A possible mechanism for this rare condition is discussed. Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 2, Number 1, 2005

Published: May 2018

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic infestation of the central nervous system, and is one of the major public health problems in developing nations like Nepal. On imaging studies, NCC usually demonstrates multiple parenchymal ring enhancing lesions in the gray white matter interface of the brain, though presence of nonenhancing vesicles with scolex or calcified dots is also a frequent finding. Co-existence of brain abscess and neurocysticercosis is a rarity. Presentation of NCC in the form of a large cystic mass in the 4th ventricle is also unusual. Here, we present these unusual cases of neurocysticercosis, which remained in their masks until they were surgically explored and microscopically unveiled! Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 2, Number 1, 2005, Page: 85-89

Can the essay genre used in education and reserarch provide new options for describing reality? This genre has already obtained a strong position in philosophy, in which it has proven to be appraopriate when dealing with “the far too big and the far too small questions”. But what about the essay as a supplement to – or even a replacement for – traditonal descriptions within social science in higher education?
Enlivening Cultural Environments through Sharing and Gotong Royong (Mutual Cooperation)
Authors: Butler Diane
Published: May 2018

The development of best practices and cooperative approaches that ensure the active participation of local communities in identifying and safeguarding tangible and intangible cultural heritage for the long-term has become a major aim of cultural policies in recent decades. This paper proposes that the value of sharing and custom termed gotong royong (mutual cooperation), still an intrinsic part of daily life in most villages in Indonesia and in several Southeast Asian nations, is a means by which traditional cultural environments can be enlivened in the present. In particular, art practices show the contemporary value and efficacy of traditional forms of social cooperation and can foreground the continuing role of local ethnic communities, as the caretakers of the various elements of tangible and intangible cultural heritage present in their territory. To illustrate why and how, I draw on examples of art practice from public participatory intercultural events held in Bali and Java, Indonesia as well as in other countries.

Manuscripts in Sumenep Madura; the Legacy of Pesantren and its Ulama
Authors: Zakiyah Zakiyah
Published: May 2018

There are more than a hundred manuscripts that were found in Sumenep Madura and were digitized by a research team from the Office of Religious Research and Development Ministry of Religious Affairs, Semarang Indonesia. That research focused on the identification and digitalization on those manuscripts; however, that research has not made further analysis on the content. Therefore, this paper examines the content of those manuscripts and classifies them into category based on the discipline. In addition, this essay looks at how these manuscripts related to pesantren and its ulama (kyai/Muslim scholars) in Sumenep Madura. This study uses a library research and content analysis method. The result shows that from the 107 digitized manuscripts, there are more than 107 texts embedded in those manuscripts, since some of the manuscripts are a compilation book.  The majority of those manuscripts consist of fiqh texts (64 texts), followed by tauhid/theology (46 texts), tasawuf/mysticism (8 texts), Qur’an (3 manuscripts), Arabic grammar and linguistic (6 texts), and the rests are texts about do’a, Javanese horoscope and history. All of those texts are written in an Arabic letter and used various languages such as Arabic, Javanese and Madurese. Some of those manuscripts are collection of ulama and pesantren in that area. These ulama and pesantren received their manuscripts from their parents and preserved it until now. Indeed, those manuscripts can be recognized as the legacy of pesantren and its ulama in Sumenep Madura.  In the context of Sumenep Madura, ulama/kyai and pesantren play significant roles in the development of Islam since they are the center of the society.

Published: May 2018

Kurzfassung

Ökologische Nachhaltigkeit wird von kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) nach repräsentativen Umfragen als eines der wichtigsten zukünftigen Handlungsfelder wahrgenommen. Dem gegenüber steht die Logistikleistung, die unter ökologischen Aspekten betrachtet bisher wenig Aufmerksamkeit und Optimierung erfahren hat. Neben den hohen Schadstoffemissionen und der damit einhergehenden Schädigung der Umwelt wirkt sich diese fehlende Betrachtung der Ökologie innerhalb der Logistik auch negativ auf die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit aus. Durch das Forschungsprojekt „Entwicklung ökologisch-logistischer Wirkmodelle zur gezieltem Einflussnahme auf die Ökologie und Logistik-leistung von KMU“ (ÖkoLogWi) soll Unternehmen befähigt werden, die CO2-Emissionen der Logistik transparent erfassen und optimieren zu können. Als Grundlage für dieses Modell werden in dieser Veröffentlichung daher die grundlegenden Einflussfaktoren und Zusammenhänge zwischen Logistik und Ökologie erörtert. Zudem werden mögliche Handlungsrahmen und Vorgehen zur Definition relevanter Bewertungskriterien skizziert.

EFFECTS OF THIAMETHOXAM ON THE BEHAVIOR OF FORAGING HONEY BEES WITH ARTIFICIAL FLOWER CHOICES
Authors: Çakmak İbrahim
Published: May 2018

The
effects of thiamethoxam were studied on the foraging behavior of free-flying
bees (Apis mellifera anatoliaca) visiting
artificial flower patches of blue and white flowers. Thiamethoxam doses from 2
% to 40 % of the reported LD50 value were given to bees. The study
consisted of three experimental parts performed sequentially without
interruption. In part 1, we offered bees 6 μL of a 1M sucrose reward in both
flower colors.  In part 2 we offered bees
6 μL of 1.5 M sucrose solution in blue flowers and 6 μL of 0.5 M sucrose
solution in white flowers.  In part 3 we
reversed the sucrose solution rewards values with respect to flower color.  Each experiment began 30 min after
administration of the insecticide. The number of bees foraged was recorded, as
was flower patch visitation rate, number of flowers visited and flower choices
of the bees that did return. The forager return rate declined linearly with
increasing thiamethoxam dose and number of foraging trips of returning bees was
also affected adversely. Out of 96 bees, the majority of unreturned (50) bees
belonged to higher dosages of thiomethoxam groups. However, flower fidelity was
not affected by thiamethoxam dose. Foragers visited both blue and white flowers
extensively in experimental part 1 and showed greater fidelity for the flower
color offering the higher molarity reward in parts 2 but there were less visits
to flowers offering the higher molarity reward in part 3 indicating that the
bees failed to learn what were the flowers with higher reward. Our study showed
that thiamethoxam affected: the number of returning bees, the number of foraging
trips and reward re-learning.

Paediatric antidepressants: Benefits and risks
Authors: Healy David , Le Noury Joanna , Jureidini Jon
Published: May 2018

The data supporting the use of “antidepressants” in children and adolescents is largely unavailable. Academic publications give a different picture as regards benefits and harms to publications from regulatory other sources. Despite disagreements about the data driving use of these medicines, in practice “antidepressants” may now be the most commonly used drugs by adolescent girls, and children’s mental health services are attracting increasing attention.

This paper reviews the difficulties surrounding the data. It outlines a case for benefits (as well as risks) that would require physicians to exert a greater degree of professional autonomy than service managers might wish.
RETRACTED: Melatonin Attenuates Dysregulation of the Circadian Clock Pathway in Mice With CCl4-Induced Fibrosis and Human Hepatic Stellate Cells

Dysregulation of the circadian clock machinery is a critical mechanism in the pathogenesis of fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate whether the antifibrotic effect of melatonin is associated with attenuation of circadian clock pathway disturbances in mice treated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and in human hepatic stellate cells line LX2. Mice received CCl4 5 μL/g body weight i.p. twice a week for 4 or 6 weeks. Melatonin was given at 5 or 10 mg/kg/day i.p., beginning 2 weeks after the start of CCl4 administration. Treatment with CCl4 resulted in fibrosis evidenced by the staining of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) positive cells and a significant decrease of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARα) expression. CCl4 led to a lower expression of brain and muscle Arnt-like protein 1 (BMAL1), circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK), period 1–3 (PER1, 2, and 3), cryptochrome 1 and 2 (CRY1 and 2) and the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor (RORα). The expression of the nuclear receptor REV-ERBα showed a significant increase. Melatonin significantly prevented all these changes. We also found that melatonin (100 or 500 μM) potentiated the inhibitory effect of REV-ERB ligand SR9009 on α-SMA and collagen1 expression and increased the expression of PPARα in LX2 cells. Analysis of circadian clock machinery revealed that melatonin or SR9009 exposure upregulated BMAL1, CLOCK, PER2, CRY1, and RORα expression, with a higher effect of combined treatment. Findings from this study give new insight into molecular pathways accounting for the protective effect of melatonin in liver fibrosis.
Simulating Fine-Scale Marine Pollution Plumes for Autonomous Robotic Environmental Monitoring
Authors: Fahad Muhammad , Guo Yi , Bingham Brian
Published: May 2018

Marine plumes exhibit characteristics such as intermittency, sinuous structure, shape and flow field coherency, and a time varying concentration profile. Due to the lack of experimental quantification of these characteristics for marine plumes, existing work often assumes marine plumes exhibit behavior similar to aerial plumes and are commonly modeled by filament based Lagrangian models. Our previous field experiments with Rhodamine dye plumes at Makai Research Pier at Oahu, Hawaii revealed that marine plumes show similar characteristics to aerial plumes qualitatively, but quantitatively they are disparate. Based on the field data collected, this paper presents a calibrated Eulerian plume model that exhibits the qualitative and quantitative characteristics exhibited by experimentally generated marine plumes. We propose a modified model with an intermittent source, and implement it in a Robot Operating System (ROS) based simulator. Concentration time series of stationary sampling points and dynamic sampling points across cross-sections and plume fronts are collected and analyzed for statistical parameters of the simulated plume. These parameters are then compared with statistical parameters from experimentally generated plumes. The comparison validates that the simulated plumes exhibit fine-scale qualitative and quantitative characteristics similar to experimental plumes. The ROS plume simulator facilitates future evaluations of environmental monitoring strategies by marine robots, and is made available for community use.
Size Doesn’t Matter—What Can Handwriting Tell Us About the Brain?
Authors: Kadmon Harpaz Naama , Flash Tamar
Published: May 2018

When you write on the blackboard, you use much larger movements than when you write in a notebook. Yet, the large letters written on the blackboard will appear very similar to the small letters written in the notebook. How does your brain generate these different writing movements? Does it use a single set of commands for both the notebook and blackboard—or multiple commands? In this article, we will present an experiment in which we measured brain activations of people while they were writing letters of different sizes and discuss what we can learn from this experiment about the brain commands that generate these movements.
