Safety and efficacy of cervical foraminotomy versus anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for 1–2 level radiculopathy
Authors: Hunter Jefferson , Ramirez Gabriel , Thirukumaran Caroline , Rubery Paul 
Published: February 2025

Background
Cervical foraminotomy (CF) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) are both used to treat 1–2 level cervical radiculopathy. We evaluated demographic and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) to match cohorts and compare the safety/efficacy of performing CF versus ACDF for 1–2 level unilateral radiculopathy.

Methods
This was a retrospective review of 64 patients with similar clinical and radiological data that underwent 1–2 level unilateral CF versus ACDF for cervical radiculopathy. Variables studied included operative revision rates, adverse events, surgical costs, postoperative imaging, PROMIS scores, numeric pain scores, incidence of dysphagia, frequency of vocal cord paralysis, and postoperative neurological status.

Results
We found no clinical or radiological differences between patients undergoing ACDF versus CF for unilateral 1–2 level cervical radiculopathy. Surgical differences were observed; ACDF patients demonstrated a 6.25% revision rate versus 0% for CF patients, 40% of ACDF patients reported mild dysphagia versus 0% for CF, 3% undergoing ACDF exhibited vocal cord paralysis versus 0% for CF, and ACDF incurred high implant costs (i.e., $1,836.37 and $2,773.44 for one- and two-level ACDFs) versus 0% for CF warranting no implants.

Conclusion
Patients undergoing CF versus ACDF for 1–2 level unilateral cervical radiculopathy required 3.70 fewer postoperative X-rays, 40 min less operative time, and 10.95-h shorter lengths of hospital stay (P < 0.001). Alternatively, ACDF patients had a 31.3% greater probability of achieving a minimum clinically important difference in PROMIS pain interference scores but incurred a 6.25% reoperation rate, a 40% incidence of dysphagia, and high implant costs versus 0% for CF.
Orbital tumors: A retrospective analysis of cases from Iraq and orbital anatomical perspectives
Authors: Mohammad Najah K. 
Published: February 2025

Background
With its vital ocular and adnexal structures, the orbit may be affected by a wide array of neoplasms, including primary, secondary, and metastatic neoplasms. These lesions pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in view of complex orbital anatomy and overlapping clinical presentations. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiology, clinical features, refractive impacts, and management outcomes of orbital tumors, providing insights to optimize diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Methods
This study retrospectively analyzes 22 patients who had a presentation of orbital tumors at the Istishari Ophthalmic Eye Hospital between January 2019 and January 2024. Collected data were demographic, clinical, refractive, tumor type, laterality, and management outcome. Advanced imaging studies and histopathological diagnoses confirm the diagnoses. Statistical tests will be applied in assessing the relationship among tumor types, clinical presentations, and refractive changes by means of Analysis of Variance and Chi-square tests.

Results
Cavernous hemangioma was the most prevalent tumor (54.5%), followed by adenoid cystic carcinoma and optic nerve meningioma (13.6% and 9.1%, respectively). Proptosis (31.8%) was the predominant symptom. Significant refractive changes were noted across tumor types (P = 0.012). Lateral orbitotomy was the most common surgical approach (68.2%), with adjuvant therapies utilized in 22.7% of cases. Tumors predominantly affected females (54.5%) and the left orbit (77.3%).

Conclusion
Orbital tumors present diverse clinical and refractive manifestations, necessitating individualized, multidisciplinary approaches for effective management. This study underscores the importance of advanced imaging, tailored surgical strategies, and the integration of minimally invasive techniques. Future multicenter studies are needed to validate these findings and enhance therapeutic outcomes.
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the dura mimicking meningioma: A case report
Authors: Falcón Molina Jesús Eduardo , Lozano Guzmán Isauro , Rodríguez Florido Marco Antonio , Maciel Ramos Emmanuel , Castillejo Adalid Luis Alfonso , Ascencio Montiel Marco Antonio 
Published: February 2025

Background
Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSLs) are relatively infrequent tumors and are usually high-grade and aggressive neoplasms. A small portion of PCNSLs are low-grade lymphomas and can involve the dura. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the dura is an extremely rare subtype with only case reports and series documented in the literature.

Case Description
A 65-year-old woman presented with a history of headaches followed by progressive left hemiparesis. Imaging studies showed an extra-axial dural-based tumor causing midline shift. Gross total resection was achieved, and the patient was discharged without postoperative complications. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of MALT lymphoma of the dura. The patient was evaluated by the oncologist and received adjuvant chemotherapy. At the 10-month follow-up, the patient experienced remission of her symptoms, and the last magnetic resonance imaging showed no evidence of tumor recurrence.

Conclusion
MALT lymphoma of the dura diagnosis requires a high level of suspicion because it can often mimic meningioma. Given its rarity, there is no consensus on the standard treatment strategy. Gross total resection followed by adjuvant therapy is an accepted treatment to manage these cases.
Subdural hygroma due to traumatic rupture of a middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst that has transformed into a chronic subdural hematoma after burr hole operation: A case report
Authors: Kimura Seigo , Ogawa Daiji , Taniguchi Hirokatsu , Wanibuchi Masahiko 
Published: February 2025

Background
Middle cranial fossa arachnoid cysts (MFACs) cause subdural hygromas due to head trauma or spontaneous rupture. We report the case of a patient who has performed burr hole surgery for subdural hygroma and chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) caused by the rupture of an arachnoid cyst.

Case Description
A 30-year-old man fell off a motorbike and hit his head. Head computed tomography (CT) revealed left MFAC and left subdural hygroma. The subdural hygroma increased over time, and the symptoms of intracranial hypertension developed. Therefore, burr hole operation was performed without the use of a subdural drain. Approximately half a month after surgery, head CT revealed that the density of the arachnoid cyst and subdural hygroma increased and that the subdural hygroma transformed into CSDH. Therefore, a burr hole operation was performed again, and a hematoma cavity drain was left. After surgery, the symptoms of intracranial hypertension improved, and subdural collection did not recur.

Conclusion
The increase in CSDH may have disrupted the flap–valve mechanism of the arachnoid cyst and subdural collection. When performing a burr hole operation for a subdural hygroma caused by the rupture of an arachnoid cyst, placement of a subdural drain may be desirable, and consideration of the possibility of CSDH is necessary.

Published: February 2025

Este artigo trata sobre a possibilidade de encontrar uma teoria jurídica e sociológica, que melhor dialoga com os problemas dos diversificados de direitos africanos e que opera paralelamente com o direito positivo estatal. Nisso, será necessário compreender o modelo dos Estados africanos, que não é totalmente compatível com as características de Estado nação do modelo europeu, o que acaba demostrando uma incompatibilidade com as micronações africanas presente no interior do Estado. Neste sentido, deduz-se ponderações em relação as teorias clássicas do positivismo normativista, que tem seu fundamenta na teoria de Estado Vestfaliano. Em vista disso, torna-se necessário tomar um rumo crítico em relação à essa simbiose, entre a teoria positivista de direito e do Estado. E no âmbito deste diálogo, começaremos por discutir a teoria sincrética, é uma proposta que busca compreender a natureza dos direitos africanos a partir de um processo de recepção, rejeição absorção e transformação de diversas perspectivas jurídicas existente África, ou seja uma dimensão que se equipara ao sincretismo religioso, em as religiões mistura simbolismo e formas de crença da outra para originar uma nova. .

Authors: Sá José Carlos , Oliveira Ana , Hines Peter , Mourão Filipa , McDermott Olivia , Marques Pedro Alexandre , Zouari Alaeddine , Pathania Abhilash , Ulewicz Robert 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Lean methodologies have been implemented in various sectors, helping to improve the overall efficiency and performance of organisations. The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between Lean and occupational safety and its impact on people’s behaviour. To this end, a survey was developed and a statistical study carried out. The survey was sent to 4381 companies, from which 289 responses were received from 12 different countries. The Cronbach’s alpha value obtained was greater than 0.86, which indicates that the internal reliability/consistency of the results is very good. Through the statistical study it was possible to conclude that the approaches with the greatest contribution to cultural change in terms of occupational safety are 5S, Standard Work and TPM. It was also concluded that the implementation of Lean practices has a positive impact on people’s behaviour, and that these results differ depending on whether the company is located in Portugal or not. Furthermore, Lean proved to have a very positive impact on performance indicators, especially in companies located in Portugal, regardless of the sector of activity. The results also show that the contribution of Lean management to occupational safety system is very important in different sectors and is influenced by the sector of activity and by the company’s location, and that the impact of the occupational safety system on people’s behaviour was considered very important, with little influence from the company’s location and no influence from the sector of activity. This comprehensive research provides a body of knowledge that is expected to provide positive insights for Lean practitioners, managers and academics.
The acrosome integration as a key prognostic factor of fertility (review)
Authors: Berelet T. , Korochkina E. 
Published: February 2025

Purpose: study of data from domestic and foreign authors on the morphofunctional features of the acrosome, methods for assessing the acrosomal reaction and comparison of fertility data. Fertility is the ability of a sexually mature organism to produce viable offspring.Fertility can be determined by various criteria, but one of the key factors is the assessment of the integrity of the acrosome. The acrosome is a part of the sperm, located at the top of its head. There are two main functions of the acrosome: the isolation of proteolytic and hydrolytic enzymes for the sperm to pass through the transparent shell of the egg, and ensuring the fusion of the sperm with the membrane of the female germ cell. Golgi apparatus, cytoskeleton, Sertoli cells and various proteins are involved in the formation of the acrosome. The acrosomal reaction is the exocytosis of the contents of the acrosome, as a result of which the sperm penetrates through the egg shells. The integrity of the acrosome can be assessed by several methods: electron microscopy with differentiated staining of the acrosome using different techniques, functional tests, fluorescence microscopy, radioimmunoanalysis.
Metabolic indicators in hens of different ages and at different reproductive states
Authors: Lebedeva I. Yu. , Mityashova O. , Montvila E. 
Published: February 2025

The decline in the reproductive potential of hens by the end of the first productive period is closely related to the biological process of ovarian aging. At the same time, the functioning of the reproductive system is de termined by the intensity and direction of metabolic processes in the body of females.Objective: The aim of the presented work was to study the relationship between biochemical markers of metabolic status and the manifestation of age-related decline in egg production in domestic hens.Materials and methods. We performed a comparative study of blood biochemical indicators in young laying hens with long egg clutches (YLC, n=17) and in middle-aged hens at different reproductive states: with long egg clutches (MLC, n=10), with anovulatory long clutches (MALC, n=9), with short clutches (MSC, n=15) and with short clutches after molting (MSC-M, n=9). Biochemical blood parameters were determined simultaneously in all samples using an automatic biochemical analyzer.Results. The concentration of total protein in the blood plasma of young birds was 1.2 times lower (p<0.01 0.05) than that of older birds in the three groups (MLC, MSC and MSC-M). The blood content of lipid metabolism components in hens of different ages and reproductive status did not differ. In young birds, the activity of alanine aminotransferase in the blood was 1.5 times higher (p<0.05) than in hens after molting (MSC-M), and the de Ritis coefficient was 1.4 times lower (p<0.05) than in hens of the MLC group. At the same time, in aged individuals in the MLC and MSC-M groups, the levels of phosphorus and iron were 1.4 times higher (p<0.01-0.05) compared to those in individuals in the YLC (phosphorus) and MSC (iron) groups.Conclusions. The findings indicate that in laying hens, the content of total protein in the blood increased with age, which did not depend on the presence of signs of reproductive aging. Furthermore, they point to com pensatory changes in mineral metabolism indicators and the aminotransferase activity in aged hens that main tain a high intensity of egg laying, as well as in birds that have resumed egg laying after molting.

Harnessing social media strategic capability for stakeholder safety performance: Do firm reputation and circular economy entrepreneurship matter?
Authors: Rijal Anita 
Published: February 2025

Background: Stakeholder safety plays a pivotal role in the growth of any industry, particularly in the manufacturing industry. Thus, firms have realised their obligation towards stakeholder safety.
Objectives: While past studies have highlighted the role of social media strategic capabilities (SMSC) in promoting stakeholder safety performance (SSP), this study examines the direct impact of SMSC on SSP and the mediating effect of firm reputation (FR) and circular economy entrepreneurship (CEE) in the SMSC-SSP relationship.
Methods: This study collected 152 responses from small and medium manufacturing enterprises in Nepal via an online survey. The study used the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique for data analysis and interpretations.
Results: This study reveals that while SMSC has no direct and significant influence on SSP, its indirect effects on SSP via FR and CEE significantly indicate full mediation effects. These findings demonstrate that social media platforms are excellent sources of information for firms in building strong stakeholder collaborations, amassing other external resources, boosting FR, and aiding in the exploitation of CE opportunities.
Conclusions: Drawing on stakeholder theory and resource-based view, this study is among the first to develop SMSC, firm reputation, and circular economy entrepreneurship as antecedents for achieving SSP in the context of an emerging economy. Manufacturing firms' managers may promote SSP by identifying new safety approaches via information derived from social media platforms, which boosts reputation and circular economy entrepreneurship.
