Published: September 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar os desafios contínuos e os pontoslucrativos da pecuária leiteira em Punjab. Os dados primários foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com os criadores. Os dados dessensibilizados foram submetidos a análises estatísticas. Os resultados mostraram que os criadores de gado leiteiro do estado preferem búfalo a gado e que as raças de gado e búfalo preferidas são o cruzamento Holstein-Friesian (65,82%) e Murrah (81,42%), respectivamente. O seguro pecuário é insignificante (0,32%) devido à falta de conhecimento dos criadores. Além disso, o tamanho da área de pastagem (13,39%) foi reduzido em razão do cultivo de culturas sazonais. Mais da metade dos criadores (57,64%) vendem leite para a Punjab State Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation Limited (MILKFED), uma grande cooperativa de criadores de gado leiteiro. Além disso, 56,22 e 19,84% dos criadores utilizam os excrementos dos animais como esterco ou combustível, respectivamente. Dos criadores entrevistados, 69,45% especificaram que o principal problema da pecuária leiteira são os baixos lucros devido ao baixo preço do leite e aos altos custos de produção. Os maiores obstáculos para a pecuária leiteira no estado de Punjab são: instalações precárias para os criadores, altos custos de alimento e forragem, baixos lucros, empréstimos terceirizados e serviços veterinários inadequados. Para a indústria da pecuária leiteira crescer no estado, os problemas identificados precisam ser enfrentados imediatamente pelo governo por meio de programas e políticas voltados aos fazendeiros, para ajudar a transformar a pecuária leiteira em uma atividade lucrativa.

On the Value of High Precision Radial Velocity Observations and Astrometric Orbits for Binary Stars Hosting Exoplanets
Authors: Howell Steve B. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Observations have concluded that exoplanet hosting binary stars appear to have wider mean separations than a definitive sample of “field binaries” as well as an apparent deficit of very close pairs. Many exoplanets orbit near their host stars equatorial plane, especially for close-in, small planets. Precision radial velocities of exoplanets in close binary stars are sparse but badly needed in order to provide statistical samples revealing the host stars spin axis and determinations of the masses and orbital planes of their planets. Astrometric orbits of the stars can provide precise binary orbital elements. In the quest for occurrence rates, the detection of planets is biased against transit recognition of small planets in binary systems. Together the measurements of binary host stars and their planets are required to yield robust tests of planet formation, stability, and evolution mechanisms as well as provide correct small planet occurrence rates.
Exploration of Stellar Variability in 20 s Cadence TESS Data

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The introduction of TESS’s 20 s cadence mode has given us the opportunity to examine the variation of stellar flux on shorter timescales than ever before. While we find no previously undetected variability at these timescales, we find oscillations outside of the published instability strip in TIC 349902873. We also quantify the stellar variability on specific timescales using the combined differential photometric precision (CDPP). We developed a light-curve creation pipeline for 57 bright stars in TESS’ SCVZ across the HR diagram with extant spectra. From the light curves, we reproduced the scaling previously seen between CDPP and magnitude at all timescales in our data set. We also find a potential correlation between CDPP on the shortest timescales and surface gravity, which may be related to convection and oscillations and impact the relative detectability of exoplanet features.

Authors: Peretto Ivo , Lora Stefano , Rivato William , Peretto Giuseppe , Barbieri Matilde , Sassaro Lorenzo , Furlato Giovanni , Barbieri Lorenzo , Walter Filip 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
IX Del is a variable star that was classified as uncertain E/SD at the Variable Star Index. The SSV-UAI-GRAV (Unione Astrofili Italiani, Variable Star Section) suggested a campaign to observe the star in order to understand its true nature. The Štefánik and Ďáblice observatories in Prague also collaborated in the observing campaign of the Italian section. From 2024 August to 2024 September, 10 observing sessions were obtained with terrestrial telescopes and V-band CCDs. From the analysis of the data thus obtained, combined with the Zwicky Transient Facility data, the star IX Del has been reclassified as an RRab-type variable with a pulsation period of 0.540914 day and a range of 1.36 mag g. The Blazhko effect from the result of this work is evident.
New observations on rare and threatened saproxylic hoverflies in North-Western Italy with ecological notes
Authors: Maritano Umberto , Bianco Lorenzo , Torta Samuele 
Published: September 2024

The knowledge on the distribution of saproxylic hoverflies in the Piedmont region has always been incomplete, despite the large wooded areas present in the territory. We know of a few scattered specimens collected in the 19th century, often with a generic or incomplete locality on the label such as “surrounding Turin” or “Alps”. The recent publication of the first European Red List on hoverflies highlights some threatened species including some saproxylics. To fill this knowledge gap we report here unpublished data and establish new ecological note on threatened or nationally scarce saproxylic species actually present in the region.
In this study, we present new findings concerning rare saproxylic hoverflies. These include the rediscovery of Hammerschmidtia ferruginea (Fallen), 1817, marking its first recorded occurrence in the Italian fauna since the middle of 19th century. Additionally, we report novel observations of the "Chimera fly" Doros destillatorius Mik, 1885, along with further observations on endangered or vulnerable species such as Callicera spp. and Brachypalpus chrysites Egger 1859. Moreover, we document the rediscovery of Criorhina pachymera Egger, 1858, within the Piedmont region, and the first record of Brachyopa grunewaldensis Kassebeer, 2000, within Italy. Comprehensive data detailing these observations are provided herein.
Solitary plasmacytoma: An unusual dural-based lesion - A case report
Authors: Arévalo-Sáenz Alejandra A , Rascón-Ramírez Fernando J , Ferrández Borja Pujante , Sánchez Manuel Pedrosa 
Published: September 2024

Abstract:
Solitary intradural plasmacytomas are extremely rare. We present a case of a patient with headache and diagnosis of meningiomatosis. Onset symptoms were abrupt neurological deterioration and paraparesis. The patient underwent surgery by craniotomy and tumor resection, with final pathological findings of solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma without evidence of multiple myeloma. Of note is the great similarity of this infrequent pathology with meningiomas and the need to differentiate it from the dural involvement of multiple myeloma. Treatment always includes tumor resection surgery and postoperative radiotherapy.
Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas with pial arterial supply: A narrative review
Authors: Su Xin , Ma Yongjie , Song Zihao , Zhang Peng , Zhang Hongqi 
Published: September 2024

Abstract:
Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a relatively complex intracranial condition, and its clinical presentation and treatment strategies often vary significantly due to various factors. Although the cure rate of intracranial DAVF is currently high, there is still a lack of understanding of its etiology and pathogenesis. There is ongoing controversy regarding the treatment strategies for DAVF associated with the pial arteries, and there is a lack of understanding of its pathogenesis. The author conducted a brief literature review on DAVF with pial arterial supply and presented some treatment experiences from their own medical center. Large-scale retrospective cohort studies and prospective research in future are expected to address these issues.

Authors: Mostafa Asmaa A. , EL-Sahra Doaa G. , Ashry Mahmoud , Elqattan Ghada M. , Hassan Laila K. , Abdel-Wahhab Khaled G. 
Published: September 2024

Background and objective
As Elettaria cardamomum possesses wide phytochemical and biological activities; therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the ameliorating efficiency of Elettaria
cardamomum ethanolic extract (ECEE) in Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Materials and methods
Male rats (150–180 g) were arranged into four groups (8 rats/group) as: (1) normal rats act as control, (2) normal rats daily ingested with ECEE (100 mg/kg, dissolved in water) four 28 days, (3) rats cardio-intoxicated intraperitoneally with Doxorubicin (DOX) at a dose 2.5 mg/kg on alternate days for 14 days and (4) cardio-intoxicated rats treated orally with ECEE for 28 days.

Results and conclusion
After 28 days of treatment, the results revealed that ECEE restored the cardiological, hematological, and immunological deteriorations induced by Doxorubicin; this was evidenced by the significant reduction of serum aminotransaminases (ALAT and ASAT), lactate dehydrogenase, creatin kinase MB, total cholesterol, triglycerides, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1β, caspase-3 and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells as well as cardiac malondialdehyde, nitric oxide levels and cardiac DNA-fragmentation coupled with marked improvement in cardiac reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Hematological indices and hemoglobin derivatives were markedly restored. Moreover, the ECEE induced prominent cardio-histological regeneration. In conclusion, ECEE possessed anti-cardio-hematotoxicities exhibition that could be performed through the radical scavenging and antioxidant characteristics of its active constituent’s especially high phenolic content, reflecting the promising potency of ECEE as cardio protective supplement.

Analysis of anthropometric measurements taken from the periocular region in healthy young individuals with different somatotypes
Authors: Karaketir Sıdıka , Şencan Demet , Çolakoğlu Serdar , Şenol Deniz 
Published: September 2024

Purpose:
Anthropometric parameters related with the periocular region (PR) have gained great importance with the optical technology used in the treatment of eye defects. They have also become important parameters that determine the limits of treatment in aesthetic surgery procedures in PR and the treatment of orbital diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of PR measurements with somatotype.

Methods:
Somatotypes were determined by using the Heath-Carter method. Ten indirect anthropometric measurements, namely nasal root (mf-mf), outer chantal distance (ex-ex), inner chantal distance (en-en), interpupillary distance (p-p), right and left palpebral fissure width (ex-en), palpebral fissure height (ps-pi), and orbital height (os-oi), were taken from PR with Image J program. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare data with each other. Post-hoc Mann-Whitney U test was used to find out which group caused statistically significant differences according to the results of the Kruskal-Wallis H test.

Results:
A statistically significant difference was found between some indirect anthropometric measurements taken from PR and somatotypes (P < 0,05). This difference was found to result from central group somatotype, in which no somatotype component has different effects from another one, for both genders. In almost all of the indirect anthropometric measurements, it was found that balanced ectomorph somatotypes reached the highest median values, while central group somatotypes had the lowest median values.

Conclusion:
As a result of this study, somatotype affects the appearance of PR. It will be possible to obtain more accurate and reliable results in aesthetic surgery interventions and identification studies. Our study is the first and a pioneer in its field in the literature. It will inspire and guide future researchers, surgeons, anthropologists, and forensic doctors who will work in this field.

Abstract

Introduction:
Temporal bone dissection is an acceptable method of developing the necessary skills required to successfully carry out surgical procedures on the temporal bones. It is the gold standard for the acquisition of otological/neuro-otological skills among otorhinolaryngological residents training globally. Very few graduate schools in Nigeria have the facilities and expertise to train graduate doctors in temporal bone dissection. The West African College of Surgeons Faculty of Otorhinolaryngology collaborated with Jos University Teaching Hospital in conjunction with Professor Jack Van Doren Hough Temporal Bone Dissection Laboratory to provide this temporal bone dissection course.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to develop the basic skills and dexterity necessary for otological/neuro-otological surgeries through temporal bone dissection.

Participants and Methods:
Twenty-three course participants who are trainees with the West African College of Surgeons Otorhinolaryngology Specialties registered for this course, out of which all of the 23 participants presented for the course from various teaching hospitals across the country.

Results:
Fourteen participants (60.9%) had no prior experience with temporal bone dissection, while 9 (39.1) had previous dissection experience. Twelve participants (52.2%) successfully mounted their temporal bones on the House–Urban temporal bone holder with two attempts, 5 (21.7%) mounted it on the 1st and 3rd attempts, respectively, while 1 (4.3%) mounted it on the 4th attempt.

Conclusion:
Temporal bone dissection with standard equipment in a setting akin to the operating room helps otorhinolaryngology residents to learn the anatomy of the temporal bone.
Otitic Hydrocephalus: Case Report on a Rare Complication of Chronic Otitis Media with Emphasis on Management
Authors: Chakravarty Sharmistha , Rana Sohel , Gandhoke Charandeep Singh 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Otitic hydrocephalus is a rare complication of chronic otitis media (COM) and presents as a form of benign intracranial hypertension with dural venous sinus thrombosis. It presents with features of raised intracranial pressure in the absence of intracranial space-occupying lesions. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shows normal cytology and biochemical picture. We present a rare case of otitic hydrocephalus in a young male who presented with an 8-year history of left ear discharge and a 2-week history of drowsiness, lethargy, progressively worsening headache, fever, blurring of vision, and imbalance. His cerebellar signs were positive, and the fundus examination detected papilledema. Imaging revealed left-sided cerebellar abscess with mastoiditis, compression of the left ventricle, and lateral and superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. Lumbar puncture showed raised CSF opening pressure. The diagnosis of COM squamosal with cerebellar abscess and otitic hydrocephalus was made. Urgent ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed, followed by cerebellar abscess drainage and mastoid exploration. Modified radical mastoidectomy of the left ear was done with cartilage ossiculoplasty to preserve residual hearing in the patient. High index of suspicion is required in otitic hydrocephalus, where ear symptoms are masked by raised intracranial pressure symptoms. The placement of shunt to tackle raised CSF pressure preceded surgical intervention. Modified radical mastoidectomy with ossiculoplasty was performed to preserve residual hearing in this case. Prompt intervention by multidisciplinary team can reduce morbidity in these patients.

Abstract

Introduction:
While rare, popliteal artery injury is a potentially devastating complication of knee trauma. Delayed diagnosis or inadequate management of popliteal artery injury can result in limb ischemia, amputation, and long-term disability. This study aimed to compare the treatment outcomes of popliteal artery injury between different medical centers and to reconsider the optimal protocol at our institution.

Methods:
Medical records of patients sustaining traumatic popliteal artery injury from 2011 to 2022 at two institutions (one hospital: Group A; the other hospital: Group B) were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data, radiological assessment, time course and content of initial treatment, clinical outcomes, and follow-up period were recorded.

Results:
Group A included seven patients (dislocations, n = 3; fractures, n = 2; and glass penetration injuries, n = 2), with a mean follow-up period of 39 months. Group B included five patients (dislocations, n = 3 and fractures, n = 2), with a mean follow-up period of 36 months. Two patients in Group A and four patients in Group B exhibited contrast-medium resumption (average deficit: 57 mm and 60 mm, respectively). The time from injury to reperfusion was significantly shorter in Group A than in Group B (300 min vs. 749 min, P < 0.05). Group A underwent four temporary vascular shunting procedures, four external fixations, six fasciotomies, and five bypass grafting procedures. In Group B, temporary vascular shunt (TVS) was not used in any patient; however, three, two, and three patients underwent external fixation, fasciotomy, and bypass grafting, respectively. One patient in each group required above-the-knee amputation. The mean Lysholm score was 80.4 points in Group A and 72.0 points in Group B.

Conclusions:
TVS considerably reduces the reperfusion time. Various options for the content and sequence of treatment must be carefully considered in advance. Early diagnosis, prompt intervention, and comprehensive management can improve the quality of care and patient outcomes.
