Correlation between clinical outcome and nerve conduction studies before and after surgery in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome
Authors: Chowdhury Debanjana , Sen Sangita 
Published: September 2024

Objectives:
In this study, we aimed to establish the correlation between clinical outcomes using a self-administered Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire (BCTQ) and nerve conduction studies (NCSs) before and after carpal tunnel release (CTR) operation in moderate, severe and extreme groups of patients. In prevalent literature, we found conflicting reports regarding the correlation, so we undertook this study to get a clear concept of the correlation between BCTQ and NCS.

Materials and Methods:
Thirty-two patients (39 hands) of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) were subdivided into three categories: Group I is moderate CTS (n = 9 hands), Group II is severe CTS (n = 14 hands) and Group III is extreme CTS (n = 16 hands). We evaluated electrophysiological parameters using both conventional motor parameters such as distal motor latency (DML), forearm conduction velocity (FMCV) and short-segment NCS parameter – transcarpal motor conduction velocity (TMCV) in pre-surgical and 6- and 9-month’s post-operative patients. The correlation between BCTQ consisting of symptom severity scale (SSS), functional status scale (FSS), and NCSs before and after CTR was assessed using Spearman rank correlation coefficients to establish the importance of CTR as the most effective treatment modality for CTS patients.

Results:
We found a significant correlation between BCTQ parameters – SSS and FSS and motor NCS parameters – DML, FMCV and TMCV in all three groups of CTS patients preoperatively, but the Spearman correlation coefficient value decreased and became statistically non-significant after 6 and 9 months of CTR operation. The BCTQ parameters SSS and FSS are influenced by the subjective information provided by the patients, whereas NCS is the objective and quantitative method to evaluate the condition of the median nerve. Moreover, NCS should be included in the post-operative follow-up to eliminate the possibility of recurrence, inadequate release of transverse ligament compressing the median nerve, and presence of other similar pathology or post-CTR complications.

Conclusion:
We can, therefore, conclude that clinicians should use BCTQ and NCS together to ascertain the success of CTR operation.
The home-based mirror therapy in the reduction of phantom limb pain in unilateral below-knee amputees
Authors: Shariaty Sadra , Taheri Alireza 
Published: September 2024

Objectives:
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a common issue for amputees, leading to various long-term challenges. Mirror therapy, a low-risk and cost-effective treatment, can be done at home. This study evaluates the effect of home-based mirror therapy on PLP in unilateral below-knee amputees.

Materials and Methods:
The study included 16 male participants, aged 18 and above. They were randomly assigned to either the mirror therapy group or the control group (prosthesis use). The mirror therapy group received a single training session (15–30 min). Then, they did exercises at home for at least 15 min a day for four weeks. They also had to use their prosthesis for at least 3 h daily. Weekly phone or online check-ins recorded pain levels. Pain was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Results:
Participants had a mean age of 45.12 years, and initial VAS pain scores ranged from 3 to 10. After 4 weeks, the mirror therapy group showed a 37.5% reduction in pain (P < 0.05). The control group did not experience a significant pain change (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
Mirror therapy is a promising option for managing PLP. It supports the benefits of telehealth and home-based exercises, reducing the need for in-person consultations.

В 2017 г. Новгородская археологическая экспедиция ИА РАН проводила исследования на месте строительства жилого дома на ул. Обороны, д. 2. Здесь впервые найден и исследован древнейший грунтовый могильник времени первого столетия существования Новгорода. По комплексу вещей и конструкции погребальных сооружений он находит прямые аналогии в материалах раскопок в Киеве, Чернигове, Пскове. В конце XI в. на месте могильника возникли усадьбы, выгороженные частоколами. Данное поселение, расположенное на некотором удалении от городских кварталов, было связано с торговой или таможенной деятельностью. Кроме бытовых вещей здесь обнаружена внушительная сфрагистическая коллекция из 46 древнерусских и византийских печатей и пломб конца XI–XII в. В XIII в. произошло запустение этой части города. Начиная с конца XIV в. на изучаемой территории возобновляется усадебная застройка.
In 2017, the Novgorod Archaeological Expedition team of the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences carried out investigations at the address of a building, No 2 Ul Oborony, in Veliky Novgorod. The location provided the first opportunity to locate the ancient soil of a graveyard from the first century of the city’s existence. According to the cross-section of artifacts retrieved, and the construction of the funerary complexes, direct analogies can be made with excavations in cities such as Kiev, Chernigov, and Pskov. By the 11th century the site of the former graveyard had been occupied by city mansion houses, fenced off with palisade fencing. This location, situated at a small distance from the quarters of the historic city centre, was connected with the collection of customs and tithes, and with trade. In addition to utilitarian items found here, an extensive collection of 46 Old Russian Byzantine seals and stamps of the latter 11th to 12th centuries was discovered here. From the 13th century onwards this area of the city fell into decay. From the early 14th century new manor homes began to be built in this area of the city.
The Kosh-Kuyu settlement (Republic of Crimea, Leninsky Region)
Authors: Куликов А.В. 
Published: September 2024

На средневековом поселении Кош-Кую, расположенном в Восточном Крыму, на первом этапе строительства трассы «Таврида» в ходе раскопок сезона 2017 г. было исследовано более 18 тыс. кв.м. Кроме жилых и хозяйственных комплексов османского времени, относящихся к татарскому поселению Кош-Кую (XVI – перв. пол. XVIII в.), были выявлены следы поселка золотоордынского времени (рубеж XIII–XIV – перв. пол. XV в.) с 10 жилыми полуземлянками. На отдельных участках были открыты следы крупного поселения античного времени (кон. VI – нач. III в. до н. э.): фундаменты строений, каменные вымостки, водосборный водоем, комплекс зерновых ям, зольный холм с вотивными приношениями. Отдельные находки датируются более ранним временем: эпохой бронзы – раннего железного века (II – перв. пол. I тыс. до н. э.) и даже эпохой позднего мезолита – неолита (VI–IV тыс. до н. э.).
More than 18,000 square metres of area at the Medieval settlement of Kosh-Kuyu, located in Eastern Crimea, during the first stage of construction work for the Tavrida Highway Project, was given and archaeological excavation investigation. Over 18,000 square metres of area was studied. In addition to finding dwellings and domestic complexes from the Ottoman period, which had belonged to the Tatar settlement of Kosh-Kuyu, (16th to early 18th century AD), remains were found of a settlement from the Golden Horde period (turn of the 13th–14th centuries, to the earlier half of the 15th centuries) with 10 residential semi-dugout homes. In certain areas, traces of a large ancient settlement were discovered, from the end of the 6th century to the early 3rd century BC. These included the foundations of building, stonework pits, a water reservoir, a group of grain pits, and an ash hill with remains of sacrificial offerings. Some of the finds date to an earlier period – from the Late Bronze to Early Iron Age (from the 2nd to the early part of the 1st centiry BC), and even from the late Mesolithic and Neolithic periods (6th to 4th centuries BC).

В работе представлены материалы исследования уникального памятника античной погребальной архитектуры элиты боспорского общества. Госпитальный курган – самый большой в цепочке курганов, отходящих от Юз-Обинской гряды. Памятник включал в себя монументальный склеп с прямоугольной в плане камерой с уступчатым перекрытием и длинным дромосом, покрытой изнутри двуслойной штукатуркой, на которой были обнаружены более поздние рисунки с батальными сценами. Но первоначально насыпь была сооружена над двумя могилами в каменных ящиках с плитовыми перекрытиями, с погребением юноши в деревянном саркофаге. Весь комплекс сооружений и многочисленные сосуды из тризн относятся ко второй половине IV в. до н.э.
This paper presents research materials concerning a unique site of ancient funerary architecture of the elite culture of peoples of the Bosphorus. The ‘Hospital earthwork’ is the largest member of a chain of earthworks which begins at Yuz-Obe Ridge. This monument features a monumental crypt, with a rectangular chamber and concave overlap, with a long dromosome covered with a double layer of plaster on its interior, on which illustrations of battle scenes were found. However, the structure had originally been built over two graves with stone sarcophagi, including the burial of a young man in a wooden coffin. The entire complex of these structures and their many trizn vessels can be dated to the second half of the 4th century BC.

В публикации представлены результаты первых археологических работ в монастыре Иоанна Предтечи (Ивановском), расположенном в одном из наиболее древних княжеских владений в черте Москвы. Монастырь возник не позднее XV–XVI вв., но современный архитектурный ансамбль полностью возведен во второй половине XIX в. Работы проходили в северной части монастырского двора, где обнаружены остатки кладбища XVI–XVII вв. Изучены белокаменные надгробия с надписями XVII в. Наибольший интерес представили три белокаменных антропоморфных саркофага XVI–XVII вв. Вероятно, они перемещены в связи с перестройкой собора в 1860‑х гг., когда были уничтожены небольшие частные капеллы с погребениями знатных лиц. В саркофаги были сложены костные останки не менее 10 погребенных, из которых лишь 3 или 4 были уложены сразу после смерти. Саркофаги перезахоронили строго в центре северного клуатра, вероятно, с целью поставить над ними в будущем отдельную капеллу или иной памятник.
This paper publishes preliminary results of the first archaeological works undertaken at the Monastery of St John the Baptist (St John’s Monastery) – located at the site of one of the most prestigious Princely landholdings within the city area of Moscow. The monastery appeared no later than the 15th or 16th centuries, yet the monastery ensemble to be seen today dates from the 19th century. The studies took place in the monastery courtyard, where remains of the earlier monastery buildings of the 17th century were located. White tombstones with 17th-century inscriptions were found. The greatest interest was attracted by three anthropomorphic sarcophagi of the 16th–17th centuries. They were most probably relocated duing the cathedral rebuilding of the 1860s, at a time when small private chapels containing the graves of members of the nobility were demolished. The sarcophagi contained the remains of at least 10 buried individuals, of which only 3–4 had been placed in it after the immediate moment of their deaths. The sarcophagi were relocated in the exact centre of the northern cloister – with the apparent intention of building a more suitable separate chapel over their moment at some future point in time.

В 2017 г. археологический отряд ИАЭТ СО РАН принял участие в спасательных археологических раскопках в предгорьях Крыма по строящейся автодороге «Таврида» на отрезке Симферополь – Феодосия. В полевой сезон полностью исследованы восемь курганных объектов археологического наследия и грунтовый могильник. Большая часть курганов располагается на небольших естественных возвышенностях, хорошо выраженные насыпи отсутствуют, в них встречаются разновременные захоронения, совершавшиеся с эпохи бронзы до позднего Средневековья. Большая часть захоронений не были потревожены грабителями и хозяйственными работами, что позволило получить относительно полную информацию о погребальном обряде и инвентаре на указанных памятниках.
During 2017, an archaeological team from the Crimean Expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences took part in rescue archaeology excavations in the Crimean foothills, in the area where the new Tavrida highway is being built. During the fieldwork season, the team succeeded in examining eight burials at sites of Archaeological Heritage, and the soil of burial grounds was fully studied. Most of the mounds were located on small natural vantage-points, with no well-marked fill-in. There are burials from several different periods, from the Bronze Age through to the Middle Ages. The bulk of these burial sites had not been disturbed by ransacking, and this enabled the researchers to obtain a reasonably complete picture of the funerary rites and grave goods at such sites.

Published: September 2024

В статье рассмотрены железные панцирные пластины (ламеллярная и бригантные), найденные на территории Иволгинского района Республики Бурятия. Данные фрагменты защит- ного вооружения являются подъёмным материалом и относятся к категории случайных находок. В работе приводится описание пластин, их прорисовки и фото. Авторами предпринята попытка датировки и этнокультурной атрибуции указанных предметов защитного вооружения. На основе типологического анализа бригантные пластины датированы эпохой средневековья, а именно – мон- гольским временем XIII–XIV вв. Аналогов ламеллярной пластине не найдено, в связи с чем затруд- нительно определить хронологические рамки бытования указанной пластины. По месту находки данные предметы вооружения связаны с кочевым населением Забайкалья.
The article deals with iron armour plates (lamellar and brigandine) found in the area of Ivolga region in the Republic of Buryatia. These fragments of protective armament are in the category of accidental finds. The article includes the description of the plates as well as the photographs and drawings. The authors make an attempt at a chronological and ethnocultural attribution of the found items. Based on the typological analysis, the brigandine plates are dated to the Middle Ages, namely the Mongol period of the XIII–XIV cc. There is analog to the lamellar plate which makes it difficult to define its chronological range. The place of finding connects the objects with the nomadic peoples of Transbaikalia.
