The impact of national political culture on the Global development of Entrepreneurial ecosystems
Authors: Alpatov Gennady , Korostyshevskaya Elena , Stoianova Olga , Gusarov Kirill , Bortnikova Elena 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Numerous attempts not only in the Russian Federation but also in many other countries to copy successful examples of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (EEs) from the USA did not lead to equally outstanding results. In scientific literature and in the media, the underestimation of the influence of informal institutions, also called cultural traditions of the country and business customs, is increasingly cited as a reason for that unfulfilled expectations.
We postulate that the main reason for unfulfilled expectations lies in the underestimation of the influence of political culture.
Purpose of the article: the goal is to prove the hypothesis that the prevailing culture of statism hinders the development of effective relationships between two key EEs actors - founders and venture funds.
Methods: analysis of data from a wide range of publications by keywords and their classification into groups of factors that influence on EEs.
Findings & Value Added:
- The mature EEs dictates the rules to every new member, but the evolving EEs itself obeys the code of conduct that existed before it appeared.
- The larger the share of state-funded startups, the stronger the distorting influence of the state in the sensitive period of EEs formation.
- As a result of the contradiction that has arisen between the cultural environment and the need for security and support for startups, there is an outflow of startups to EEs with a friendly environment. This is the main reason for the lack of private venture capital in the country.

Authors: Burlacu Sorin , Oancea Negescu Mihaela Diana , Patarlageanu Simona Roxana , Vasilescu Raluca Ana 
Published: December 2021

Research background: While some researchers see digital globalization as a new form of globalization, others liken digitalisation to the globalization that needs to be managed and driven so that institutions and businesses can meet the challenge of digitalisation together. Digitization has encompassed all aspects of economic and social life. In increasingly fierce competition, technological advances and the challenges of science are becoming catalysts for globalization. There is research that suggests that conventional wisdom would say that globalization has stopped arguing that global trade in goods has flattened and cross-border capital flows have fallen sharply since the economic crisis of 2008. However, research shows that globalization is not reversing but enters a new phase that could be defined by a sustained increase in data and information flows. More than a decade later, the new global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is strengthening the role of information and communication technologies in both the economy and social life.
Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to highlight the main characteristics of digital globalization that have a major impact on current and future economic and social life.
Methods: Documentary analysis and review of the literature are the main research methods. These are doubled by a bibliographic analysis of IT tools.
Findings & Value added: Following the documentary analysis, we identified a series of characteristics that allow us to consider that global digitalization can become the determining factor of the economy with direct implications in social life.

Published: December 2021

Research background: The European economy has been experiencing declining productivity growth rates since the 1970s despite high investments in information and communication technologies (ICT). Investments in ICT are considered a key driver of productivity growth that serves as a basis for further improvements in living standards. However, despite the emergence of new technologies and industries, especially after 1995, European productivity growth has slowed and lagged behind the United States. The critical question is why?
Purpose of the article: This article aims to examine the effects of ICT on the European labour market in the period when machines and systems such as artificial intelligence, new information technologies, the Internet of things, and other technologies are becoming increasingly interconnected and intertwined. Additionally, the article examines the key reasons why European productivity lags behind the U.S. and explains them.
Methods: The panel regression method analyzes the productivity lag of selected European developed countries and emerging markets in 2007-2019. The article additionally makes a qualitative analysis of the benefits of new technologies on productivity in Europe compared to the U.S.
Findings & Value added: The results of the econometric analysis applied in this article confirm the positive but insignificant impact of ICT investments on the labour productivity of the case of European developed countries in the post-Great Recession period. Thus, the article fills the gap in the research literature regarding the relationship between ICT investments and the labour productivity of selected European countries.

Abstract
Introduction Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) has revolutionized the surgical techniques for lower-third rectal cancer. The aim of the present study was to analyze the outcomes of quality indicators of TaTME for rectal cancer compared with laparoscopic TME (LaTME).
Methods A cohort prospective study with 50 (14 female and 36 male) patients, with a mean age of 67 (range: 55.75 to 75.25) years, who underwent surgery for rectal cancer. In total, 20 patients underwent TaTME, and 30, LaTME. Every TaTME procedure was performed by experienced colorectal surgeons. The sample was divided into two groups (TaTME and LaTME), and the quality indicators of the surgery for rectal cancer were analyzed.
Results There were no statistically significant differences regarding the patients and the main characteristics of the tumor (age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists [ASA] score, body mass index [BMI], tumoral stage, neoadjuvant therapy, and distance from the tumor to the external anal margin) between the two groups. The rates of: postoperative morbidity (TaTME: 35%; LaTME: 30%; p = 0.763); mortality (0%); anastomotic leak (TaTME: 10%; LaTME: 13%; p = 0.722); wound infection (TaTME: 0%; LaTME: 3.3%; p = 0.409); reoperation (TaTME: 5%; LaTME: 6.6%; p = 0.808); and readmission (TaTME: 5%; LaTME: 0%; p = 0.400), as well as the length of the hospital stay (TaTME: 13.5 days; LaTME: 11 days; p = 0.538), were similar in both groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the rates of positive circumferential resection margin (TaTME: 5%; LaTME: 3.3%; p = 0.989) and positive distal resection margin (TaTME: 0%; LaTME: 3.3%; p = 0.400), the completeness of the TME (TaTME: 100%; LaTME: 100%), and the number of lymph nodes harvested (TaTME: 15; LaTME: 15.5; p = 0.882) between two groups.
Conclusion Transanal total mesorectal excision is a safe and feasible surgical procedure for middle/lower-third rectal cancer.
Risk Benefit Analysis of Routine Thymectomy for Differentiated Thyroid Cancers: A Systematic Review
Authors: Kaul Pallvi , Kaul Priyanka , Poonia Dharma Ram , Jakhetiya Ashish , Arora Vipin , Garg Pankaj Kumar 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Background Central compartment lymph node dissection (CLND) is a part of the surgical management of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Therapeutic CLND is done to address clinically significant central compartment nodes in patients with DTC, while prophylactic CLND is performed in the presence of high-risk features in the absence of clinically significant neck nodes. Removal of thymus—unilateral or bilateral—during CLND to achieve complete clearance of level VI and VII lymph node stations and address thymic metastasis is debatable.
Objective The present systematic review was conducted to summarize the evidence, delineating the role of thymectomy during CLND in patients with DTC.
Methods Electronic databases of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were searched from their inception to July 2020 using keywords—thyroid neoplasms or tumors, thyroidectomy, and thymectomy—to identify the articles describing the role of thymectomy during CLND in DTC. A pooled analysis of surgicopathological outcomes was performed using metaprop command in STATA software version 16.
Result A total of three studies and 347 patients—total thyroidectomy (TT) with bilateral thymectomy in 154, TT with unilateral thymectomy in 166, and TT alone in 27 patients with DTC—were included in the systematic review. The pooled frequency of thymic metastasis was a mere 2% in patients undergoing either unilateral or bilateral thymectomy. The routine addition of thymectomy does not result in better lymph node clearance. Unilateral and bilateral thymectomy were associated with high chances of transient hypocalcemia (12.0% and 56.1%, respectively).
Conclusion Routine thymectomy is not warranted during CLND, considering minimal oncological benefit and high risk of postoperative hypocalcemia.
Conservative Management of Presumed Fetal Anemia Secondary to Maternal Chemotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Authors: Nowik Christina M. , Gerrie Alina S. , Wong Jonathan 
Published: December 2021

Acute myeloid leukemia occurs rarely during pregnancy. When it is diagnosed remote from term, treatment in the form of daunorubicin plus cytarabine induction with consolidative cytarabine is typically undertaken after the first trimester. There is little data to guide fetal monitoring, in particular, whether and how often middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA PSV) should be measured to screen for fetal anemia. Cytarabine may be particularly myelosuppressive to the fetus, but information pertaining to the management of this complication is also lacking in published literature. To our knowledge, we present the first case of presumed severe fetal anemia related to in utero exposure to chemotherapy that was managed conservatively with close sonographic monitoring, including serial measurement of MCA PSV. This case suggests that in the absence of hydrops fetalis or other signs of fetal decompensation, expectant management with ultrasound twice weekly, including MCA PSV, is appropriate. Ultrasounds may be decreased to weekly when MCA PSV does not suggest fetal anemia. Screening for fetal anemia can provide helpful information to guide the timing of chemotherapy administration and delivery.

Published: December 2021

Objective This study aimed to identify factors associated with meeting the Obstetric Care Consensus (OCC) guidelines for nulliparous, term, singleton, and vertex (NTSV) cesarean births.
Materials and methods This was a retrospective case control study of women with NTSV cesarean births between January 2014 and December 2017 at single tertiary care center. Demographics and clinical characteristics were compared between women with NTSV cesarean births which did or did not meet OCC guidelines. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to evaluate the effect of each variable on the odds of meeting OCC guidelines.
Results There were 1,834 women with NTSV cesarean births of which 744 (40.6%) met OCC guidelines for delivery and 1,090 (59.4%) did not. After controlling for confounding factors, the odds of meeting OCC guidelines were increased for in-house providers managing with residents (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.03, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.44–2.87) and without residents (aOR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.30–2.12), compared with non-in-house providers managing without residents. There was no significant difference in the odds of meeting OCC guidelines for in-house providers managing with or without residents (aOR = 1.23, 95% CI: 0.84–1.79).
Conclusion After adjusting for confounding factors, in-house provider coverage, regardless of resident involvement, is associated with increased odds of NTSV cesarean births meeting OCC guidelines.
