Long Term Follow Up of Limberg's Flap Repair for Pilonidal Sinus Disease
Authors: - SRISHTI KAMATH , - SREEVATHSA M.R , - APOORVA R.A. 
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment for pilonidal sinus disease is associated with significant morbidity and some recurrence rates. The rhomboid flap of Limberg is a transposition flap which has been advocated since the year 1946 for the surgical treatment of this condition. The gold standard treatment of recurrent pilonidal disease still remains elusive. As far as the patient is concerned the main concern for surgical treatment of this disease is recurrence. An old article (1995) mentions it to range from 20–40 % regardless of the technique used. The main aim of this long term follow up is specifically that.

METHODS:
This is a retrospective , observational, single centre study carried out at a tertiary care centre,
with the study period extending from January 2015 to January 2021 with a sample size of 103 patients.

AIMS:
1.	Long term follow up (mean of 3.75 yrs ) of patients who underwent Limberg’s flap repair for primary pilonidal sinus and primary with secondary tracts to estimate recurrence rates.
2.	To assess the complication rate following Limberg’s flap for the above condition.

RESULTS:
After a mean follow up of 3.75 years , a recurrence rate of 16.5% was noted in patients undergoing Limberg’s flap. The total complication rate excluding recurrence was 29.1%.which include -12.6% of infected collection, 8.7% of seroma formation, 1.9% of hematoma, 3.8% of wound dehiscence and 1.9% of flap necrosis occurrence. In the final analysis, the following reasons for recurrence were observed. 64.7% was due to secondary infection and in 17.6% no root cause was found. In the approach for treatment of complications , three different methods were employed.
1.	The debridement with or without Vacuum-Assisted Closure (VAC) device followed by secondary suturing utilized in 7 patients (41.1%).
2.	Excision with Z-plasty was performed in 6 patients (35.2%),
3.	Alternative medicine was opted by 4 patients (26.6%).

CONCLUSION:
In the light of these results in the retrospective analysis, Limberg flap as a surgical technique for pilonidal sinus disease may not be a gold standard.

Artikkelissa tavoitteena on kuvata Etelä-Pohjanmaan hyvinvointialueen Riippuvuushoidon palveluissa toteutettavaa vertaistukihenkilötoimintaa. Toiminta on käynnistynyt vuonna 2014 ja perustuu yhteistoimintaan julkisen palvelutuottajan, järjestön ja kokemustoimijoiden (tukihenkilöiden) välillä. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan vertaistukihenkilötoiminnan merkitystä erityisesti vertaistukihenkilötoiminnassa mukana olevien avaintyöntekijöiden näkökulmasta.
Vertaistukihenkilötoiminnan perustana on viisikantasopimus, joka laaditaan asiakkaan, hänen omatyöntekijänsä, vertaistukihenkilön sekä Riippuvuusklinikan ja Sosiaali- ja terveysalan Järjestötalon välille. Sopimus mahdollistaa luottamuksellisen, saumattoman ja tavoitteellisen yhteistyön toimijoiden kesken. Tukisuhteet ovat määräaikaisia, ja tukihenkilölle järjestetään perusvalmennuksen lisäksi yhteisiä tapaamisia ja lisäkoulutusta.
Asiakkaan näkökulmasta vertaistukihenkilötoiminta tuo muun muassa rinnalla kulkijan, luo toivoa ja vähentää yksinäisyyden kokemusta. Tukisuhde tuo myös rytmiä ja sisältöä tuettavan arkeen erilaisten keskustelujen, tekemisen ja toiminnan kautta. Toiminnassa mukana oleminen tukee tukihenkilön omaa toipumista ja saa aikaan onnistumisen kokemuksia. Työntekijälle vertaistukihenkilötoiminta näyttäytyy jalkautuvana, erityisesti asiakkaan arjessa vaikuttavana ja toipumista tukevana toimintamallina.

Abstract
We present the most detailed spectrum of intracluster light (ICL) in an individual cluster to date, the relaxed system RX J2129.7+0005, at z ∼ 0.234. Using 15 broadband, deep images observed with the Hubble Space Telescope and JWST in the optical and the infrared, plus deep integral field spectroscopy from MUSE, we computed a total of 3696 ICL maps spanning the spectral range ∼0.4−5 μm with our algorithm CICLE, a method that is extremely well suited to analyzing large samples of data in a fully automated way. We used both parametric and nonparametric approaches to fit the spectral energy distribution of the ICL and infer its physical properties, yielding a stellar mass

between 11.5 and 12.7 and an average age between 9.7 and 10.5 Gyr, from CIGALE and Prospector results. This implies that the ICL in RX J2129.7+0005 is, on average, older than that of disturbed clusters, suggesting that the contribution from different stellar populations to the ICL is at play depending on the cluster’s dynamical state. Coupled with X-ray observations of the hot gas distribution, we confirm the relaxed state of RX J2129.7+0005, showing clear signs of sloshing after a last major merger with a high-mass-ratio satellite that could have happened ∼6.6 Gyr ago in a relatively radial orbit. The presence of substructure in the ICL, such as shells, clouds with different densities and a certain degree of boxyness, and a clump, supports this scenario.
The Bicoherence Analysis of Type-C Quasiperiodic Oscillations in Swift J1727.8−1613
Authors: Zhu Haifan , Wang Wei , Zhu Ziyuan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We present the results of bicoherence analysis for Swift J1727.8−1613 during its 2023 outburst, using data from Insight-HXMT. Our analysis focused on observations with quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) of frequencies greater than 1 Hz, revealing that all of them belong to type-C QPOs. We found a strong correlation between the QPO frequency and the hardness ratio, as well as a linear relationship between the QPO rms and the hardness ratio. The bicoherence analysis revealed a transition from a “web” pattern to a “hypotenuse” pattern in the low-energy (LE) and high-energy (HE) bands. In the bicoherence patterns, there are correlations between horizontal and vertical bicoherence at f
1 = f
2 = f
QPO with count rates. The diagonal structure at f

QPO becomes more prominent with increasing energy. Additionally, we discovered a new bicoherence pattern in the medium energy band from 10 to 20 keV; the diagonal structure at f

har is prominent only in this energy band, which we refer to as the “parallel” pattern. The bicoherence analysis indicates that the source is likely a low-inclination source.
Recurrent Coronal Mass Ejections and Their Geomagnetic Storms Association on 2012 January 19: Solar Surface to Upper Earth’s Atmosphere Analyses
Authors: Hassanin A. , Shimeis Amira , Sabeha Hadeer F. , Minta F. N. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this study, we have conducted an analysis of space weather disruptions that occurred on 19 January 2012. Our analysis identified three coronal mass ejections (CMEs), CME1, CME2, and CME3—which were ejected at 09:48:05 universal time (UT), 14:36:05 UT, and 16:12:06 UT, respectively. Nonrecurrent disturbances in space weather, such as geomagnetic storms, result from CMEs originating from the Sun and traveling toward Earth. We assess the contribution of CME–CME interactions on 2012 January 19 and the volume emission rate of nitric oxide (NO) near the Earth's upper atmosphere in prolonging the geomagnetic disturbances observed on 2012 January 23. The findings suggest an increase in intensity at the interacting boundaries of CME1 and CME2, indicating an increase in pressure and density, leading to the compression of the magnetosphere. The 3D reconstructions of the CMEs provide evidence of unequal expansion and rotations within coronagraphic frames attributed to structural variability in the background solar wind during the eruptions. Furthermore, highlights from the in situ observations suggest that the impact of the recurrent CMEs on the geomagnetic disturbance was more pronounced within the auroral region synchronizing with a significant increase in NO volume emission rate on 2012 January 23, near the upper Earth's atmosphere. Our focus is on exploring the interactions between these CMEs to understand their potential contribution to the extended duration of the observed geomagnetic disturbance.
Superfluid Spin-up: Three-dimensional Simulations of Post-glitch Dynamics in Neutron Star Cores
Authors: Fuentes J. R. , Graber Vanessa 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Neutron stars show a steady decrease in their rotational frequency, occasionally interrupted by sudden spin-up events called glitches. The dynamics of a neutron star after a glitch involve the transfer of angular momentum from the crust (where the glitch is presumed to originate) to the liquid core, causing the core to spin up. The crust–core coupling, which determines how quickly this spin-up proceeds, can be achieved through various physical processes, including Ekman pumping, superfluid vortex-mediated mutual friction, and magnetic fields. Although the complex nature of these mechanisms has made it difficult to study their combined effects, analytical estimations for individual processes reveal that spin-up timescales vary according to the relative strength of Coriolis, viscous, and mutual friction forces, as well as the magnetic field. However, experimental and numerical validations of those analytical predictions are limited. In this paper, we focus on viscous effects and mutual friction. We conduct nonlinear hydrodynamical simulations of the spin-up problem in a two-component fluid by solving the incompressible Hall–Vinen–Bekarevich–Khalatnikov equations in the full sphere (i.e., including r = 0) for the first time. We find that the viscous (normal) component accelerates due to Ekman pumping, although the mutual friction coupling to the superfluid component alters the spin-up dynamics compared to the single-fluid scenario. Close to the sphere’s surface, the response of the superfluid is accurately described by the mutual friction timescale irrespective of its coupling strength with the normal component. However, as we move deeper into the sphere, the superfluid accelerates on different timescales due to the slow viscous spin-up of the internal normal fluid layers. We discuss potential implications for neutron stars, and requirements for future work to build more realistic models.
African cichlid fishes: morphological data and taxonomic insights from a genus-level survey of supraneurals, pterygiophores, and vertebral counts (Ovalentaria, Blenniiformes, Cichlidae, Pseudocrenilabrinae)
Authors: Oliver Michael 
Published: October 2024

The iconic freshwater cichlid fishes (Cichlidae) comprise about 1750 validly named species and hundreds more that are known, but not yet described and named. Cichlids are an important source of protein for millions of people on several continents, are model organisms in studies of evolution, speciation, ecology, development, behaviour and physiology and are popular as aquarium fishes. Yet, comparative studies of cichlid internal anatomy are rare. Even their osteology has not been taxonomically surveyed. The cichlid postcranial skeleton has been especially neglected.
Here, I provide the first survey in cichlids of the considerable variation in numbers of vertebrae, supraneurals and dorsal- and anal-fin supports (pterygiophores), as well as the patterns with which the pterygiophores insert between the neural or haemal spines. The study includes some 1700 specimens of nearly 400 cichlid species. Focusing on the largest subfamily, the African cichlids or Pseudocrenilabrinae, the survey furnishes data from species in all but one of its 166 genera. Limited data from species in the other cichlid subfamilies (Etroplinae, Ptychochrominae and Cichlinae) and from the related leaffishes, Polycentridae, are also presented. Key examples of pterygiophore insertion patterns from throughout the range of variation are illustrated and discussed. Detailed analytical tables and all raw data are provided in supplementary files.
A bizarre specialisation in Cyprichromis is noted, evidently for the first time. Uniquely in this Lake Tanganyikan genus, five to seven anal pterygiophores are abdominal in position, located anterior to the anal fin and inserting toward or between successive pairs of pleural ribs.
Taxonomic changes: The most speciose tribe of African cichlids, currently known as Haplochromini, is correctly called Pseudocrenilabrini. Based chiefly on the molecular phylogenetic findings of other workers, I propose four pseudocrenilabrine subtribes, one occurring in rivers and three endemic to Lake Malawi. I also re-assign the Lake Tanganyikan tribe Tropheini as another subtribe of Pseudocrenilabrini, in line with numerous molecular studies placing tropheines firmly within this tribe. The remaining genera of Pseudocrenilabrini remain incertae sedis in this tribe pending clarification of their phylogenetic relationships.
The character complex here surveyed is a promising source of taxonomically and phylogenetically informative characteristics distinguishing or uniting cichlid taxa at multiple hierarchical levels, from species through subfamily. This reference set of novel character data can also provide information for palaeontological studies of African cichlids. These attributes are skeletal features potentially available for study in well preserved fossils and may help determine their correct taxonomic placement.
« Pour ne pas affaiblir la robustesse orientale qui règne dans l’original »
Authors: Mano Davide 
Published: October 2024

Cette étude se focalise sur la publication du livre des prières juives en version italienne en 1802. Cet événement majeur au tout début du processus d’émancipation des Juifs d’Italie est appréhendé à partir du travail de traducteur de Salomone Fiorentino (1743-1815), un poète toscan et un intellectuel juif qui a élaboré un lyrisme philosophique et civil à mi-chemin entre tradition et modernité, entre religion et science. L’article aborde, notamment, sa réflexion autour de la traduction comme acte politique et civil, et de la prière comme la plus haute forme de poésie.
Le Miqdash Me‘at de Moshe de Rieti et la Divine Comédie de Dante Alighieri : deux ouvrages à comparer
Authors: Negri Silvia 
Published: October 2024

Au xve siècle, le poète-philosophe juif Moshe de Rieti a créé son œuvre la plus ambitieuse, le Sefer Miqdash Me‘at (Petit Sanctuaire). Ce poème, long de près de 5000 vers, publié en 1851 sous le titre de "Dante hébreu", s’inspire profondément de la Divine Comédie de Dante à plusieurs égards. Utilisant pour la première fois en hébreu la métrique de la terza rima, il est structuré en trois parties décrivant un voyage dans l'au-delà. Bien que le lien entre les deux textes soit indéniable, comme l'affirme l'auteur lui-même, cet article explore l’étendue et les limites de l’influence entre ces deux œuvres tout en examinant la figure de Moshe de Rieti, son contexte historique et philosophique, ainsi que l'état actuel de la recherche sur le Miqdash Me‘at. À travers une sélection d’exemples soigneusement choisis, il met en lumière les parallèles existants entre les thèmes, motifs et idées des deux poèmes, offrant ainsi de nouvelles perspectives pour la recherche future.
The Ministry of Injustice and No Human Rights in Angola
Authors: Blanes Ruy Llera 
Published: October 2024

Angola is one of the few countries in the world that boasts a dedicated Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. But does this translate into a wider implementation of these rights? This article provides a historical overview of the trajectory of Human Rights in Angola through the analysis of different moments and iterations of the performance of (in)justice since the country’s independence in November 1975 – from the political trials of the mercenaries in 1976-1977 and the events surrounding 27 May 1977 to the post-electoral massacres and persecutions in 1992 and 1993, the persecution of human rights activists in the post-Arab Spring period and, since 2019, the implementation of a public reconciliation commission (CIVICOP). Through this longitudinal approach, which highlights continuities in the trajectory of Human Rights in Angola in the transition from the 20th to the 21st centuries, I argue that the case of Angola illustrates the paradox of how a governance-based implementation of a Human Rights agenda can actually prevent its enactment and implementation. This is explained through the incorporation and subsumption of Human Rights into political agendas as a performative display.

Authors: Mokhele Masilonyane , Fisher-Holloway Brian , Garatsa Francis 
Published: October 2024

Background: Various metropolitan areas have become key centres for logistics activities, leading to a significant increase in the number of warehouses. However, there is a gap in the literature regarding the locational patterns of warehouses of different sizes in Africa.Objectives: To analyse the locational patterns of warehouses of different sizes within the City of Cape Town municipality, South Africa. The analysis focuses on the main factors influencing the placement of warehouses: transport infrastructure, land availability, proximity to customers and land-use zoning.Method: The study categorised warehouses based on their building footprint sizes, using the classifications of xx-small, x-small, small, medium, x-large and mega. A total of 396 warehouses were categorised accordingly. Proportional symbol mapping was then conducted in ArcGIS 10.1, assigning each warehouse type a specific weighting.Results: The study found that the areas surrounding the Port of Cape Town predominantly accommodated x-small warehouses. A diverse concentration of warehouses was identified along the railway, near the junctions of regional and national roads and within the areas enclosed by these roads. In addition, warehouses of diverse sizes were primarily situated in the main industrial zones of the municipality.Conclusion: The City of Cape Town municipality is encouraged to promote the consolidation of particularly large warehouses in strategic locations. These include industrial areas not geographically near the Port of Cape Town but with railway access to the port.Contribution: The study will contribute towards enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of logistics processes within the City of Cape Town.
A rare case of PDGFRA-positive chronic eosinophilic leukemia
Authors: Bothale Kalpana , Salkar Akanksha , Salkar Amit 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) is a clonal proliferation of eosinophilic precursors resulting in a persistently elevated number of eosinophils in blood, bone marrow, and peripheral tissues. The vaguely overlapping clinicopathological picture of CEL with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) often adds to the diagnostic dilemma. Here, we report a rare case of 49-year-old male who presented with multiorgan damage. Peripheral blood smear revealed predominantly eosinophils with dysplastic changes, shift to left in eosinophilic series, and 2% blasts. The bone marrow showed 5% blasts and many eosinophils, precursors of eosinophils, and myeloid and megakaryocytic proliferation. Till date, CEL is a very rare entity. Its presentation with cardiac and neurological manifestations is still rare.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Depression and anxiety are two psychosocial illnesses that are mostly comorbid. The prevalence of psychosocial diseases is increasing worldwide. Both can affect general and oral and dental health, which can be physiological or behavioral.

Aim:
The aim is to assess the Psychological Depression among edentulous patients in Tiruchengode.

Settings and Design:
This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Tiruchengode.

Materials and Methods:
The study was performed among 60 completely edentulous patients of Tiruchengode using the Patient Health Questionnaire for 5 months.

Statistical Analysis:
Descriptive analysis was performed using SPSS Version 25.

Results:
About 56.67% of patients were in the nonminimal group, 33.33% of them were in mild depression, and 10% were in moderate depression level.

Conclusion:
Depressive symptoms were associated more with poor appetite and impaired chewing ability. Hence, more awareness and care should be given, particularly to older individuals with complete edentulism, which causes chewing disability.

Abstract

Context:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily targets pulmonary epithelial cells, causing viral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. It progresses more severely in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

Aims:
The aim of the study was to assess the effects of smoking on the progression of COVID-19 infection among adult males in Sullia Taluk, Dakshina Kannada.

Subjects and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was carried out among 230 male subjects, aged 18 years and above diagnosed with COVID-19 from the records of the general hospital, Sullia. Necessary data were collected using a validated questionnaire comprised of three parts, Part A recorded basic demography, Part B recorded details of smoking history, and Part C recorded details of COVID-19 symptomatology. Descriptive measures and Chi-square tests were conducted separately for each variable to determine the association between various determinants of smoking and COVID-19. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
The response rate of the study was 68.7%. Among the studied population, 20.3% were smokers. Analysis revealed that loss of taste or smell (73.91%), cough (52.17%), difficulty in breathing (52.17%), persistent pain in the chest (21.73%), and running nose (13.16%) were significantly higher among smokers compared to their nonsmoking counterparts.

Conclusions:
Results of the study support the hypothesis that smoking has an effect on the progression and severity of COVID-19 infection.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
As dentistry has moved into the 21st century, the emphasis on ethics has increased. The general public has become more or rather over-mindful and attentive to their surroundings, especially in the medical field. Assaults against health-care professionals in India have increased dramatically over the past few years. It has therefore become the need of the moment to learn how to tackle the problem of workplace violence and medicolegal issues that may arise. All professionals in the health-care community must stay updated on the current scenarios, laws, and regulations. Knowledge of “what not to do” has become more significant rather than “what to do.” This article highlights the problem of violence against health-care professionals and the methods that can be used to prevent and stop it.
