A Comparison of Early and Medium-term Results of De Vega Annuloplasty and Ring Annuloplasty Techniques for the Tricuspid Valve Repair in Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement
Authors: Arkan Cüneyt , Toker Mehmet Erdem 
Published: December 2024

Objectives: Tricuspid regurgitation is a pathology that usually occurs secondary to left heart pathologies and affects the daily activities of the patients. The long-term results of tricuspid valve replacement are not very encouraging. Therefore, the primary treatment for tricuspid valve regurgitation is repair. Therefore, which repair method should be used is very critical. The aim of our study is to compare tricuspid valve De Vega annuloplasty (TDVA) and tricuspid valve ring annuloplasty (TRA) methods, which are frequently used in tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
Methods: Patients who underwent TDVA or TRA in addition to mitral valve replacement at our hospital between January 01, 2017, and December 31, 2019 were included in the study. The study was designed retrospectively and was based on hospital database, patient files, and archive records. A total of 125 patients were included in the study. The pre-operative, intraoperative, and post-operative clinical features of the patients were investigated, and their cardiac status at the last follow-up visit to the hospital was investigated.
Results: In the early post-operative and mid-term evaluation, TR was similar in both groups.
Conclusion: There is no difference between TRA and TDVA techniques in terms of the recurrence of tricuspid valve insufficiency in the early and mid-term post-operative period. Both techniques are not perfect, and there is a need for the development of new strategies and techniques.

Published: December 2024

Objectives: We aimed to show the effect of surgical mask use on pulmonary functions in healthy healthcare workers at different physical activity levels.
Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study included healthy and active sports physicians and sports physiotherapists. Participants were subjected to respiratory function tests and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) measurements at rest and after the non-inclined treadmill activities at constant speeds of 3 km/h and 6.5 km/h with a surgical mask.
Results: SpO2 measurements taken immediately after the participants’ physical activities at a speed of 6.5 km/h were significantly lower than the basal SpO2 measurements (p=0.045) as well as 1st second of forced expiration (FEV1 )/forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1 /FVC% in pulmonary function test measurements were significantly higher than baseline measurements (p=0.005; p=0.012, respectively). The flow velocity value in the last quarter of the forced expiration (FEF75) and its percentile were (FEF%75) found to be significantly higher than the measurements taken at rest after walking at 6.5 km/h (p=0.005 vs. p=0.004, respectively). The differences between the ERV values obtained after the participants’ physical activities at two speeds (3 km/h vs. 6.5 km/h) were significant (p=0.045).
Conclusion: Using surgical masks by health workers while performing their low-moderate occupational activities may cause changes in respiratory parameters due to the microenvironment formed in the mask and increased respiratory resistance.

Authors: Gresha Bhatia  
Published: December 2024

Flood detection is essential for mitigating the devastating impacts of natural disasters, especially in flood-prone regions where timely intervention can save lives and resources. This study proposes an innovative approach to flood detection. It leverages Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery from Sentinel-1 satellites, which offers robust, all-weather monitoring for large geographic areas. This research paper explores the use of deep learning techniques to enhance the accuracy of flood detection using SAR data. The paper further performs comparative analysis of two state-of-the-art deep learning architectures namely U-Net and DeepLabV3, both of which are optimized for pixel-level segmentation tasks. By experimenting with varied encoder configurations, including ResNet, MobileNet, DenseNet and applying them to SAR data, this study evaluates the accuracy, precision, recall, and computational efficiency of each model in identifying flooded regions. The findings highlight critical differences in how these architectures and encoder configurations handle noisy radar data, offering insights into the most effective model-encoder combinations for flood detection. This research contributes to the advancement of automated flood monitoring systems and serves as a basis for further improvements in disaster response technologies.

Authors: Oladiran Ajala Michael Oludare , Festus Adegbie Folajimi , Anaekenwa Aguguom Theophilus 
Published: December 2024

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of tax justice on tax compliance in South West Nigeria. Social contract theory provides the nexus between morals and political behavior, as tax compliance by individuals and corporate taxpayers helps governments fund budgets and deliver social goods and services to their citizens. Tax compliance in Nigeria is increasingly on the decline, as the level of motivation among taxpayers is quite low possibly due to the prevailing perception of tax injustice, lack of transparency, and absence of optimal utilization of tax revenue in line with social contract theory. The study adopted a survey research design and involved a population of 3,250 eligible taxpayers. The sample size from each of the states in the South West Nigeria was explored. The Taro Yamane formula was used to determine a sample size of 356, while the proportionate sampling technique was used to determine the distribution of the sample size to each state in the study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents, and the response rate was 86%. The validity and reliability of the instrument was based on Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett’s tests; the Cronbach’s alpha reliability ranged between 0.89 and 0.96. The results show that tax justice has a significant effect on tax compliance. The study recommends that governments should ensure optimal utilization of tax revenue to increase tax compliance.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND
Cervical cancer is a prevalent form of cancer affecting women worldwide and it is the second most common cancer among women in Indonesia, accounting for 8.5% of all cancer-related deaths. Cervical cancer progression can be evaluated through laboratory tests to detect anaemia, an increased platelet count, and elevated inflammatory markers, therefore, effective laboratory examination is crucial for early detection and treatment of cervical cancer.
AIM
To evaluate the association between laboratory findings (haematology, haematology index, and inflammatory index) and the clinical stage of cervical cancer.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study analyzed adult cervical cancer patients’ data from medical records and laboratory results including sociodemographic status, histopathological finding, clinical stage, and complete haematology examination. Numerical data was analyzed by the one-way ANOVA (normal data distribution), while the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for non-parametric data (abnormal distribution), followed by appropriate post-hoc analysis. The categorical data was analyzed by the Chi-square or Fisher Exact tests. The significance level was established at a P value < 0.05.
RESULTS
This study involved the data of 208 adult cervical cancer patients and found no association between age, marital history, parity history, hormonal contraceptive use and cervical cancer stages. There were significant differences in the clinical laboratory test results based on the clinical stage of cervical cancer, including haemoglobin levels (P < 0.001), leucocytes (P < 0.001), neutrophils (P < 0.001), monocytes (P = 0.002), lymphocytes (P = 0.006), platelets (P < 0.001), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio/NLR (P < 0.001), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio/LMR (P < 0.001), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio/PLR (P < 0.001). There were also significant differences in the systemic inflammatory index (SII) and systematic inflammatory response index (SIRI) between stage III + IV cervical cancer and stage II (SII P < 0.001; SIRI P = 0.001) and stage I (SII P < 0.001; SIRI P = 0.016), associated with the shifts in previously mentioned complete haematological values with cancer advancement.
CONCLUSION
The haematological parameters, inflammatory haematological ratios, and inflammatory indices exhibited significant differences between cervical cancer stages, therefore these tests can be utilized to evaluate cervical cancer progression.
