Assessing Knowledge Performance for the Fast-Track Delivery of Sustainable Mobility Solutions
Authors: Morfoulaki Maria , Chatziathanasiou Maria
Published: December 2023

European cities are motivated to act towards the achievement of climate-neutral mobility solutions. Often, though, they are facing many challenges when bringing (innovative) sustainable mobility solutions forward. Capacity building that fills the skills gaps and/or enables the acquisition of new ones related to the planning and implementation of such solutions can empower local/regional authorities to identify them, adopt them and eventually deliver them properly. The aim of this paper is to present the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) framework that has been used for the assessment of the effectiveness of the Learning and Exchange Programme applied in an EU-funded project. It presents the methodological steps for the adoption of the KPIs, as well as the tools used for the selection of the KPI data and the KPI monitoring at the project level. It also presents the results from the application of the framework for assessing the knowledge performance towards the deployment of sustainable mobility solutions. It finally reflects on recommendations for applying the KPI framework to other cases and thematic contents.

On the Anomalous Dimension in QCD
Authors: Yamawaki Koichi
Published: December 2023

The anomalous dimension γm=1 in the infrared region near the conformal edge in the broken phase of the large Nf QCD has been shown by the ladder Schwinger–Dyson equation and also by the lattice simulation for Nf=8 and for Nc=3. Recently, Zwicky made another independent argument (without referring to explicit dynamics) for the same result, γm=1, by comparing the pion matrix element of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor π(p2)|(1+γm)·∑i=1Nfmfψ¯iψi|π(p1)=π(p2)|θμμ|π(p1)=2Mπ2 (up to trace anomaly) with the estimate of π(p2)|2·∑i=1Nfmfψ¯iψi|π(p1)=2Mπ2 through the Feynman–Hellmann theorem combined with an assumption Mπ2∼mf characteristic of the broken phase. We show that this is not justified by the explicit evaluation of each matrix element based on the dilaton chiral perturbation theory (dChPT): π(p2)|2·∑i=1Nfmfψ¯iψi|π(p1)=2Mπ2+[(1−γm)Mπ2·2/(1+γm)]=2Mπ2·2/(1+γm)≠2Mπ2 in contradiction with his estimate, which is compared with π(p2)|(1+γm)·∑i=1Nfmfψ¯iψi|π(p1)=(1+γm)Mπ2+[(1−γm)Mπ2]=2Mπ2 (both up to trace anomaly), where the terms in [] are from the σ (pseudo-dilaton) pole contribution. Thus, there is no constraint on γm when the σ pole contribution is treated consistently for both. We further show that the Feynman–Hellmann theorem is applied to the inside of the conformal window where dChPT is invalid and the σ pole contribution is absent, and with Mπ2∼mf2/(1+γm) instead of Mπ2∼mf, we have the same result as ours in the broken phase. A further comment related to dChPT is made on the decay width of f0(500) to ππ for Nf=2. It is shown to be consistent with the reality, when f0(500) is regarded as a pseudo-NG boson with the non-perturbative trace anomaly dominance.
Spontaneous Emergence of a Causal Time Axis in Euclidean Space from a Gauged Rotational Symmetry Theory
Authors: Walker Michael Luke
Published: December 2023

We demonstrate the emergence of an effective “time” axis in the ground state of a gauged rotational symmetry theory in four-dimensional Euclidean space. In so doing, we remove the necessity of Wick rotation to Lorentz spacetime, an arbitrary and sometimes ill-defined procedure, especially for gravity-related theories. We begin by adapting the Cho-Duan-Ge decomposition to the gauge theory of the four-dimensional rotational symmetry group SO(4), where it identifies the maximal Abelian subgroup SO(2)⊗SO(2) in a gauge covariant manner. We then find the one-loop effective theory to have a stable condensate of monopoles corresponding to the reduction of SO(4) symmetry to SO(2)⊗SO(2). The construction of the condensate ensures that the four-dimensional spatial direction of its field strength must coincide with that of this embedding, and that a magnetic potential must be worked against to divert a trajectory away from this direction. Indeed, movement along this direction represents minimal potential energy. We take it to be the time direction. The gauge-dependent nature of the condensate is such that different gauge choices may lead to different time axes and we show on very general grounds that these different coordinate systems must be relatable by transformations of Lorentz form.
Conventionalism, Cosmology and Teleparallel Gravity
Authors: Järv Laur , Kuusk Piret
Published: December 2023

We consider homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models in the framework of three geometrical theories of gravitation. In Einstein’s general relativity, they are given in terms of the curvature of the Levi-Civita connection in torsion-free metric spacetimes; in the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, they are given in terms of the torsion of flat metric spacetimes; and in the symmetric teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, they are given in terms of the nonmetricity of flat torsion-free spacetimes. We argue that although these three formulations seem to be different, the corresponding cosmological models are in fact equivalent and their choice is conventional.

Published: December 2023

Coastal areas are frequently impacted by anthropogenic pollution, due to intense human activity in these zones. Our study aimed to monitor the impacts of anthropogenic pollution in four Portuguese locations on the northwest coast, and to identify the most affected areas and/or seasons by applying a multi-biomarker approach. Water and specimens of Phorcus lineatus were collected on the rocky shore during low tide in four sites along the northwest Portuguese coast (1. Amorosa; 2. Cabo do Mundo; 3. Homem do Leme; 4. S. Félix da Marinha) with different anthropogenic pressures, including an industrial maritime shipyard; an oil refinery; an international airport; and an area with high human population density. The collection took place over two seasons: the summer of 2021 and the winter of 2022. Several biochemical biomarkers, including reactive oxygen species; protein carbonyl content; lipid peroxidation (LPO); carboxylesterase (CE); and antioxidant (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and neurotoxicity—acetylcholinesterase (AChE)) enzymes were measured. The results showed seasonal variation, with the ROS, LPO, CE, and GST activities depending particularly on the season, but the SOD and CAT activities being similar between summer and winter. CAT showed lower activity in Site 1 than in the other sites during both seasons (p < 0.05). The Integrated Biomarker Response (IBR) index showed that biomarker responses were higher in winter. The multivariate analysis confirmed the higher contribution of the factor season to the P. lineatus’ response to pollutants, compared to the spatial variation in the northwest Portuguese coast. Overall, this study shows that P. lineatus can be a suitable bioindicator species for environmental biomonitoring, and that the IBR index allows the identification of temporal contamination patterns.
Transport of Oxygen-Doped Graphitic Carbon Nitride in Saturated Sand: Effects of Concentration, Grain Size, and Ionic Strength
Authors: Nguyen Thanh-Tuan , Kim Do-Gun , Ko Seok-Oh
Published: December 2023

In this study, the characteristics and transport of oxygen-doped graphitic carbon nitride (OgCN) were investigated in comparison with multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), and the transport of OgCN was evaluated under various conditions. OgCN was superior to MWCNT in transport within a quartz sand layer with less attachment and more detachment than MWCNT, which is attributable to more diverse and abundant functional groups, charges, defects, and amorphous graphitic structures. OgCN transport was well described by a one-dimensional advection–dispersion–retention model. The coefficients of retention (Smax), attachment (ka), and detachment (kd) calculated by the model were not always well-correlated with OgCN concentration and the grain size of the medium, suggesting that the OgCN transport was affected by various factors such as attachment, detachment, and pore size. However, it was clearly and significantly inhibited by ionic strength, via improved aggregation of OgCN. It is believed that the results of this study contribute to establish proper sub-surface injection strategies of carbonaceous materials for in situ chemical oxidation.

Published: December 2023

Background

Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critically ill children, particularly those with AKI. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with AKI treated with continuous RRT (CRRT). A thorough understanding of the metabolic changes and nutritional challenges in AKI and CRRT is required. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with AKI receiving CRRT.

Methods

PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched for articles related to the topic. Expertise of the authors and a consensus of the workgroup were additional sources of data in the article. Available articles on nutrition therapy in pediatric patients receiving CRRT through January 2023.

Results

On the basis of the literature review, the current evidence base was examined by a panel of experts in pediatric nephrology and nutrition. The panel used the literature review as well as their expertise to formulate clinical practice points. The modified Delphi method was used to identify and refine clinical practice points.

Conclusions

Forty-four clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with AKI and on CRRT on the basis of the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

El judío espectral como dispositivo pedagógico en el discurso de Juan Crisóstomo
Authors: Simonassi Lyon Andrea
Published: December 2023

En varias de sus homilías, Juan Crisóstomo, presbítero de Antioquía entre 386 y 398, utilizó una serie de tópoi propios de la literatura adversus iudaeos para referirse a los judíos. Este judío construido no tenía la finalidad de reflejar de manera fidedigna al colectivo hebreo de la ciudad. En realidad, este judío espectral se configuró como un dispositivo pedagógico al servicio del presbítero para instruir a su feligresía sobre qué era ser un verdadero cristiano. En Antioquía, donde eran varias las opciones religiosas a las que una persona podía recurrir, Crisóstomo intenta delimitar las fronteras identitarias del cristianismo niceno.

Published: December 2023

The functioning of any document management system in the infrastructure of a hierarchical process control system is to ensure uninterrupted work with documents at all stages of their use for the system's subjects, from designers, administrators to users and executors. Only with a well-established security system with an authorization management system can an automated document management system (ADMS) achieve efficient operation. In its turn, the security system of the automated document management system is based on the developed security policy and risk management system. The paper considers the infrastructure of an automated document management system, methods for assessing risk levels, which determine the choice of security tools and determining the level of security for a hierarchical management system. The proposed research results have been tested in the functioning of security systems at airports with a hierarchical structure of process control.

IN VITRO STUDY OF PHYLLOSPHERE BACTERIA AS PROMISING BIOCONTROL AGENTS AGAINST BACTERIAL LEAF BLIGHT DISEASE (Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae) IN RICE PLANTS
Authors: Masnilah Rachmi , Nurmala Fenny , Pradana Ankardiansyah Pandu
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to explore the potential of phyllosphere bacterial isolates as biological control agents against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). We isolated a strain exhibiting typical morphological and biochemical characteristics of Xoo, such as a yellowish, spherical colony, Gram-negative, and starch hydrolyzing ability. This isolate was shown to cause necrotic lesions on rice leaves, corroborating its pathogenic nature. Subsequently, we isolated ten diverse phyllosphere bacteria from rice plants. These isolates were characterized based on various morphological and biochemical attributes including colony shape, margin appearance, color, growth time, and the ability to fluoresce under UV light when cultivated on King's B medium. Crucially, none of these isolates induced a hypersensitive response in tobacco leaves, an initial indicator of their potential as safe biological control agents. In an antagonistic assay against Xoo, all the phyllosphere isolates demonstrated varying levels of inhibition, suggesting their potential role in biological control. Two isolates, PGM1 and PGM4, exhibited the highest antagonistic effects against Xoo. These findings provide preliminary evidence for the potential use of these phyllosphere isolates in managing bacterial leaf blight in rice, warranting further research to confirm their efficacy and safety under field conditions.

Published: December 2023

UMKM Aqsha is a Small and Medium Enterprise that produces oyster mushrooms in Tarakan City. In the implementation process, the inventory for oyster mushrooms has yet to use the calculation method of EOQ analysis. In this case, there might be a media shortage of raw planting materials. The objectives of the research were to (1) describe the system of controlling the inventory for oyster mushrooms planting media raw materials based on actual conditions at UMKM Aqsha, (2) analyze the system of controlling the inventory for oyster mushrooms planting media raw materials using economic order quantity analysis, buying frequency, safety stock, reorder point and maximum inventory. The technique of taking informants was conducted by selecting the key informants, namely business owners and workers who know the information needed in the research. The analysis method used economic order quantity analysis, buying frequency, safety stock, reorder point and maximum inventory. The results of the research showed that the inventory control of UMKM Aqsha required all three raw materials totaling 3,345 kg in a year, with a one-time order quantity for the three raw materials totaling 1,115 kg. The inventory control implemented by UMKM Aqsha was not optimal yet and also has not yet implemented a reorder point. So that it was not possible to prevent a shortage of the three raw materials during the production process. EOQ analysis was given an optimum order for all three materials with 1,655.9 kg of raw materials, no safety stock for all three materials, a reorder point for all three materials with 526,17 kg of raw materials, and for the maximum inventory for all three materials with 1655.9 kg of raw materials.
EFFECTIVENESS OF BOTANICAL PESTICIDES AGAINST FALL ARMYWORM PESTS (Spodoptera frugiperda) ON RICE PLANTS
Authors: Gusriadi Gusriadi , Muhanniah Muhanniah , Thamrin Nining Triani
Published: December 2023

Spodoptera frugiperda pests attack many food crops, including rice plants. Their larval life stage destroys rice plants and cause crop failure due to the attack rate, which can lead to yield losses of up to 80%. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of botanical pesticides against fall armyworm pests and determine the concentration of botanical pesticides that are most appropriate to be used to control fall armyworm pest populations on rice plants. This research was conducted from May to July 2023 in the experimental land of Tonrong Rijang Village, Kacamatan Baranti, Sidrap Regency. The treatment of this study is P0 (control), P1 (100 ml botanical pesticide + 100 ml liquid soap + 800 ml water), P2 (300 ml botanical pesticide + 100 ml + 600 ml water), P3 (500 ml botanical pesticide + 100 ml liquid soap), P4 (700 ml botanical pesticide + 100 ml liquid soap + 200 ml water). The results showed that the application of botanical pesticides had an intangible influence on fall armyworm pests on rice plants due to the rain factor, which resulted in botanical pesticides being washed off, causing the application dose to be less than pestimal. The highest fall armyworm pest attack mortality at P4 is with an average of 100%, and the application of P1 doses shows the highest average attack intensity of 48.47% with a medium-scale damage category, this is because if the concentration of botanical pesticides is getting smaller, the intensity of fall armyworm pest attacks that occur on plants is also high.

Relationship between Bioelement Concentrations in the Human Body and Psycho-Functional Variables Observed in Neurotic Disorders
Authors: Lugovaya Elena A. , Bartosh Tatiana P.
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Trace elements are involved in brain functioning, ensuring basic neurochemical processes in the central nervous system and neuropsychological functions. Trace element deficiency is a challenge in northern regions, where acclimatization-related lack of many essential elements is aggravated by adverse health effects of a combination geochemical and anthropogenic factors. Objective: To establish relationships between the elemental profile of the body and some psychophysiological characteristics of young residents of the continental part of the Magadan Region as a model presumably healthy part of the population. Materials and methods: Fifty-five lyceum students, including 25 girls and 30 boys (mean age = 17.6 ± 0.25 years), living in the town of Susuman, Magadan Region, were examined. Concentrations of 25 trace elements (Al, As, B, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, I, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Se, Si, Sn, V, and Zn) were measured in hair samples of the subjects using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Psychophysiological indicators were examined using the NS-Psychotest hard & software unit. The I.N. Gurvich questionnaire was applied to study neuropsychic adaptation (NPA) and anxiety levels were determined using the Spielberger-Hanin test. Results: The correlation analysis showed the highest number of links between lithium and psycho-functional variables in all students, which is consistent with the opinion of experts on the role of this element in reducing neurological manifestations, stress, and depression. The female group demonstrated relationships between the indicator of situational anxiety and those of the functional state of the central nervous system: functionality level (r = –0.56), reaction stability (r = –0.63), and functional ability level (r = –0.61), p < 0.01. Cluster analysis was represented by four clusters, the largest of which included calcium and indicators of velocity of neural responses, the second – indicators of alexithymia, potassium, sodium, magnesium and phosphorus, the third grouped zinc and velocity of a simple visual motor response, and the fourth combined indicators of a simple visual motor response and choice reaction. Conclusion: The survey revealed a higher risk of neurotic disorders, cognitive impairment, and chronic stress in the adolescents against the background of the region-attributed deficiency in such trace elements as manganese, iodine, cobalt, and selenium and high levels of iron and silicon. Endemic hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus are likely to develop with age in northerners due to high frequency of thyroid-specific bioelement deficiencies and disorders of chromium and vanadium metabolism.

Introduction: The incidence of respiratory diseases continues to increase annually, causing significant harm to health of the population. Respiratory diseases are induced by a variety of viral and bacterial pathogens and are one of the most common disease categories observed in humans.
Objective: To assess respiratory disease incidence rates in military personnel and to establish contributions of viral and bacterial etiological agents.
Materials and methods: During the epidemic season of 2022–2023, we evaluated the incidence and causes of respiratory diseases in military personnel based on a representative sample of 153 conscripts treated in a military health facility. Respiratory pathogens were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Results: Viral respiratory infections (63.4 %) and community-acquired pneumonia (26.8 %) were mainly diagnosed in the subjects. Among the causes of single virus respiratory infections (54.2 ± 5.5 %), adenovirus prevailed (84.4 ± 5.4 %) while other respiratory viruses, such as rhinoviruses and influenza B (4.4 ± 3.1 % each), SARS-CoV-2, parainfluenza, and coronaviruses (2.2 ± 2.2 % each) were registered in few cases. The main causative agents of lower respiratory infections (45.8 ± 5.5 %) were S. pneumoniae (63.2 ± 7.8 %), Chlamydophila pneumoniae (21.1 ± 6.6 %), and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (15.8 ± 5.8 %). Among mixed viral-bacterial infections community-acquired pneumonia (34.1 ± 7.4 %) was the most frequent.
Conclusions: Viral pathogens prevailed over bacterial ones in the etiology of diseases of the respiratory system in the servicemen. The main causative agents of respiratory infections were adenovirus and S. pneumoniae.

Palm sugar is a local product that is in demand in the global market. In Indonesia, the palm sugar industry is mostly done by the cold hands of women, especially in the villages. This fact is one of the clear evidence that dual role and emancipation have actually been formed naturally along with the awareness that women must participate in helping the economy of their families. This also happened in Campoan Village, where the palm sugar was found as home industry, which was directed by women. This fact showed us how a rural community unconsciously became the epicenter of feminism movement. This paper will discuss how the dual role of women in Campoan Village as the processors of palm sugar whose daily activities are close to nature and contribute to maintain environmental quality and nature sustainability. Exploration of the role of women in the context of rural development is an exotic thing to study. This is what makes this topic worthy of research.

The Perception of the French Policy of «Reunions» in the Second Half
of the 17th Century by the Imperial Estates of the Holy Roman Empire
Authors: Khodin Alexey
Published: December 2023

This article discusses the political position and perception of the Estates of the Holy Roman Empire regarding the French policy of «Reunions» of 1667–1697. The position of Brandenburg, Bavaria, Saxony, Braunschweig-Luneburg, Hesse-Kassel, Munster, Cologne, Trier, Mainz, Palatinate, Baden-Baden, BadenDurlach and Württemberg has been analyzed to varying degrees by the author.

Some attention is paid to attempts to create an alliance among some of the Imperial Estates to resist the expansionist policy of the French king Louis XIV. However, the effectiveness of such alliances was insignificant as an attempt to create

a combat-ready army.

As a result of the study, the author can state that the policy of «Reunions» was generally perceived negatively by the Imperial Estates. A number of officials of the Empire – Brandenburg, Brunswick-Luneburg, Bavaria, Hesse-Kassel and some others had significant financial resources and sufficiently combat-ready

military contingents. This gave them the opportunity not only to fear a French invasion of the Empire, but also to effectively resist it.

Some of them could only temporarily use France to weaken the influence of the emperor. There was an understanding among the German princes that France was a strong absolutist state and being in its zone of influence meant the loss of territorial independence.

Út-pályaszerkezet méretezése töréselmélet alapján
Authors: Zsichla László
Published: December 2023

Jelentős forgalmú utakon, döntően autópályákon a kopórétegen megjelenő repedések az eddig alkalmazott méretezéstől eltérően nem a pályaszerkezet alján keletkeznek először, hanem közvetlenül a kopórétegben, mint felülről jövő TDC repedések. A hagyományos méretezési módszerekkel, a legnagyobb behajláson, a mértékadó megnyúláson alapulókkal a TDC repedések nem magyarázhatók, nem jelezhetők előre. A töréselmélet szerinti méretezéssel, ahol rugalmassági modulusok gradiense mellett figyelembe vesszük a pályaszerkezeti rétegek szilárdságát is az út-pályaszerkezet felső rétege is méretezhető a fáradásra, így a TDC repedések is előre jelezhetők. A tanulmányban az út-pályaszerkezetben keletkező fő-nyírófeszültség és a vizsgált rétegben törést okozó nyírószilárdság szerinti méretezési módszert mutatok be, ahol bizonyítom a töréselmélet, a legnagyobb behajláson és a megengedett megnyúláson alapuló módszerek közötti kapcsolatot, átszámítási lehetőséget, de rámutatok a hagyományos méretezés jelentős korlátaira is. A töréselmélettel számtalan eddig még nem ismert összefüggés tárható fel, ill. a már ismert, sejtett összefüggések erősíthetők meg, pontosíthatók.

Background: Intensivists would benefit from an accurate and easily accessible biomarker for identifying patients with different source of infections who require special attention in critical care units due to their higher risk of death. Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the rapid detection of early sepsis in intensive care unit: comparison of biomarkers - procalcitonin, serum lactate and C - reactive protein. Methods: Prospective, observational study was carried out in the Department of Critical care unit, Evercare Hospital Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh during January 2021 to June 2021. A total of 60 patients were participated in the study. Statistical analyses of the results were be obtained by using window-based Microsoft Excel and Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-24), where required. Results: Patients admitted in Intensive Care Unit of different disciplines, of different adult ages 20-60 years. In this present series it was observed that 36.7% patients were blood culture positive among 60 cases, 21.7% were Urine culture positive among 60 cases, 28.0% were Tracheal Aspirate positive among 25 cases, and finally 25.0% were Wound Swab culture positive among 12 cases. Conclusion: Blood culture positivity was the most common, followed by urine culture positivity, tracheal aspirate positivity, and wound swab positivity. Procalcitonin had the highest sensitivity, accuracy, and positive predictive value for predicting sepsis, followed by C-Reactive protein and serum lactate.

Published: December 2023

Background: The unmet need for contraceptives refers to the discrepancy between some women's objectives towards conception and their use of contraception, which has been a central indicator for monitoring the progress of family planning programs. Objective: This study set out to identify and evaluate the unmet need for contraceptives among married tribal women between the ages of 15 to 49. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between January 2022 to December 2022 in Belaichari Upazilla of the Rangamati district. Two hundred and six married indigenous women (15–49 years old) were surveyed house–to–house. Data on the characteristics of contraceptive uses, unmet needs, and correlations were collected by interviewing the participants using a pre-designed, semi-structured questionnaire. Results: The mean age of the participants was 28.07 ± 6.09 years, and most were Buddhist (63.6%). The contraceptive prevalence rate was found to be 41.3%. Overall, unmet need for family planning was 16.5%, and the age of the woman, religion, and profession of the husband were found to be significantly associated with the unmet need for contraceptive. Apprehension of side effects and difficulty in using were reported as two common reasons for unmet needs. Conclusion: Contraceptive services should place priority on improving the information and counseling they provide and the range of methods they offer. All sexually active women need information about their risk of becoming pregnant and about the choices of methods that could meet their needs.
Treatment of Non-Union Distal Femoral Fractures -A Case Study
Authors: K Rahman, M.
Published: December 2023

Distal femoral fractures are a type of fracture that occurs in the lower part of the femur, near the knee joint. These fractures are relatively rare, comprising only 0.4% of all fractures and 4-6% of femoral fractures. Distal femur fractures can be a serious injury that can lead to long-term complications, including non-union. Non-union is a condition in which a bone fails to heal after a fracture, leading to persistent pain, limited mobility, and other complications. Non-union of the distal femur can be particularly challenging to treat and may require a comprehensive approach that involves surgical intervention, rehabilitation, and close monitoring. A 56 years-old male patient presented with a broken plate of the distal femur in the right foot and was enrolled in the study. At the time of admission, the blood pressure and pulse of the patients were 110/70 mmHg and 80 bpm respectively. The patient was instructed to follow preoperative protocol before the surgery, which included nothing from the mouth (NPO) from midnight until the completion of the surgery. In this case study, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery was performed to fix the fractures of the distal femur. After a successful surgery, patients are often prescribed different types of medications to manage pain, prevent infection, and promote healing. The patient was encouraged to follow the dietary recommendations as closely as possible. Physical therapy is often an important component of postoperative care and can help patients recover from surgery more quickly and effectively. The patient's outcome was excellent, with fewer complications. The patient with distal femur fractures resulted in a tremendous outcome after successfully operating with minimal complications, as reported in this current case study.

The presence of air in the spinal canal defines pneumorachis, which is a rarely reported entity; exceptionally, it is found during a road traffic accident (MVA). We present the case of a 36-year-old patient who suffered an MVA. The work-up showed multiple fractures of the cephalic extremity, pneumocephalus, pulmonary contusions, pneumomediastinum, moderate bilateral hemopneumothorax, thoracic vertebral and costal fractures and moderate cervicothoracic pneumorachis. Spinal lesions are thought to be the cause of this pneumorachis. Lesions of the parietal pleura and meninges are thought to be responsible for air escaping from the pleural space into the spinal canal from D2 to D7. Although rare, the literature reports similar observations of post-traumatic pneumorachis. The diffusion of air bubbles into the spinal canal is a direct consequence of the rupture of a solid organ and a spinal lesion. The discovery of air bubbles should therefore prompt a search for other lesions that may explain their formation.
