Authors: Mochizuki Takeshi , Yano Koichiro , Ikari Katsunori , Okazaki Ken 
Published: October 2024

Background:
To investigate the clinical outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), using patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, and compare the finding to those in patients with osteoarthritis (OA).

Materials and Methods:
The study included 24 patients (11 with RA and 13 with OA) who underwent primary RSA with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. Clinical data, including range of motion (ROM; flexion, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation) and PRO measures (Shoulder36 questionnaire and disability/symptom scale in Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand [QuickDASH-DS]), were assessed.

Results:
ROM, Shoulder36 scores (except sports ability scores), and QuickDASH-DS in the RA group, and ROM (expect internal rotation), Shoulder36 scores (except general health scores), and QuickDASH-DS scores in the OA group were significantly improved at follow-up than the preoperative state. At follow-up, there was no significant difference found in any of the variables between the RA and OA groups (flexion: 116.4° vs. 133.1°, P = 0.102; abduction: 100.5° vs. 120.8°, P = 0.159; pain score in Shoulder36: 1.8 vs. 2.1, P = 0.397; ROM score in Shoulder36: 2.1 vs. 2.1, P = 0.578; muscle strength in Shoulder36: 1.8 vs. 1.9, P = 0.680; QuickDASH-DS score: 48.1 vs. 32.7, P = 0.059).

Conclusion:
The mid-term clinical results after RSA were comparable between patients with RA and those with OA. RSA can be considered the surgical treatment of shoulder in both patients with RA and those with OA.

Published: October 2024

Background
While the mortality rate in paediatric intensive care units (PICU) is as low as 2.39% in	developed countries, this rate is much higher in developing countries.
Objective
To evaluate the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients admitted to a tertiary pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in Karabuk, Western Black Sea Region of Turkey.
Methods
88 critically ill children who were admitted to the PICU between June 2023 and	June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. It were evaluated age, gender, presence	of	chronic disease, reason for admission to the PICU, length of stay in both the	intensive care unit and hospital stay, need and duration of high-flow nasal cannula	(HFNC), need and duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, type of nutrition, need	for inotropic drugs, the glasgow coma scale (GCS), nutrition, pretransport pediatric	risk of mortality (PRISM) score and mortality rates.

Results
Forty-three (48.9%) of these patients were female. The median age of the patients was 4.5 years [1.0-12.75]. According to the intensive care unit hospitalisation diagnoses, 37 (42.0%) of the patients had respiratory distress at the highest rate.It was observed that 24 (27.3%) of the patients had a chronic disease. Mechanical ventilation support was required in 19.3% of patients admitted to PICU, and the mean duration of mechanical ventilation was 10.0 [1.5-50.0] days. Moreover, 38.6% of patients required high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy. Among patients hospitalized in PICU, the median length of stay in the intensive care unit was 4.0 [2.0-6.0] days and the median length of hospitalization was 7.0 [4.0-13.0] days. GCS score was found to be significantly lower in the group with mortality (p= 0.004). PRISM scores of patients with mortality were found to be statistically significantly higher (p

Published: October 2024

Objectives: The primary objective of this paper is to explore how corporate governance failures can disrupt progress toward SDGs by eroding organizational commitment and sustainability.
Theoretical Framework : This paper has adopted “The Stewardship Theory” model to align with the Corporate Governance practices at ICICI Bank and thereby highlight the flaws in the system.

Method: Chanda Kochhar began her career at ICICI Bank in 1984 as a Management Trainee. After navigating through a fierce succession battle, she rose to the level of Managing Director in 2009. She became the first woman in Indian history to lead a mighty bank, succeeding the group Chairman K.V. Kamath. She was the face of Women Empowerment in India till one fine day when she was accused of corporate misconduct and quid pro quo for her involvement in questionable deals between her husband and Venugopal Dhoot, which were brought to light by whistle-blower Arvind Gupta, prompting an investigation.

Results and Discussion: After preliminary hitches, the Central Bureau of Investigation thoroughly investigated this matter and found Chanda Kochhar guilty. This breakdown greatly impacted ICICI and had larger implications for achieving sustainability development goals (SDGs), predominantly those related to strong institutions & ethical leadership SDG 16, gender equality SDG 5 and decent work and economic growth SDG 8.

Research Implications: It was brought to light by an autonomous investigation that ICICI Banks’ CEO had failed to adhere to the set rules, regulations, and policies of the bank. In fact, she had dishonored the bank’s norms. This episode demonstrates how corporate governance failures can disrupt progress toward SDGs by eroding organizational commitment and sustainability.

संस्कृत साहित्य में मानव जीवन को आलोकित करने वाली लोककथाओं-नैतिक कथाओं का प्रादुर्भाव हुआ है। शतककाव्य की परंपरा में कवि भर्तृहरि की नीतिशतक, शृंगारशतक, वैराग्यशतक आदि रचनाएँ मनुष्य के व्यावहारिक जीवन को छूने वाले विषय प्रस्तुत करती हैं। नीतिशतक में कवि भर्तृहरि ने एक ओर सज्जनों की प्रशंसा की है तो दूसरी ओर दुष्टों की निंदा की है। यहाँ कवि ने विभिन्न दृष्टान्तों के माध्यम से ब्रह्मा को भी समझाने में असमर्थ दिखाकर मूर्खों का उपहास किया है। नीतिशतक में सद्गुणों और सज्जनों की महिमा है। और विद्या धन को सभी धनों में सर्वोत्तम कहा गया है। यहां दूध और पानी तथा शाम और सुबह की परछाइयों के उदाहरणों के माध्यम से सज्जनों और दुर्जनों की दोस्ती के बीच के अंतर को दर्शाया गया है। साथ ही यहां कर्म की गति, शुद्ध चरित्र, कठोर पुरुषार्थ , शक्तिशाली प्रारब्ध, धन का महत्व, सत्संगति, बुराइयों से भरी राजनीति आदि पर भी प्रकाश डाला गया है। यहाँ कवि ने विभिन्न व्यावहारिक उदाहरण देकर मानव जीवन को छूने वाली सभी बातों को समझाने का प्रयास किया है।
Hybrid Beam-Forming Techniques for 6G Terahertz Communication: Challenges
Authors: Mridula Korde  
Published: October 2024

The terahertz band is the main pillar of 6G wireless communication system. It is difficult to meet the high data rate of 1Tbps by millimeter frequency support systems. The terahertz band suffers huge propagation loss limiting wireless distance. Terahertz band imposes ultra massive multiple input multiple output antenna (UM-MIMO) systems which produce high array gain with narrow beamforming. The conventional methods for MIMO beamforming are Analog and Digital beamforming. The fully digital beamforming methods utilize dedicated structure of DAC/ADC and RF chains. These structures increase hardware complexity and are power hungry. The analog beamforming structures utilize ADC/DAC with phase shifters with less hardware complexity but support less data rates. As a result, a hybrid beamforming method can be adapted for UM-MIMO systems. This paper investigates challenges in hybrid beamforming architecture which will address the low spatial degrees of freedom (SDoF) limitation in Terahertz (THz) Communication. The flexible hardware connections are proposed, in order to switch the system in an adaptive manner so as to minimize the power requirements.
Treatment of a femoral neck fracture combined with ipsilateral femoral head and intertrochanteric fractures: A case report
Authors: Yu Xiang , Li Yu-Zhi , Lu Hai-Jian , Liu Bing-Li 
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND
This article presents a rare case of a complex hip fracture involving the ipsilateral femoral neck, trochanter, and femoral head, that was accompanied by hip dislocation. Currently, there is no established standard treatment method for this specific type of fracture. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehensively consider factors such as patient age, fracture type, and degree of displacement to achieve a successful outcome.
CASE SUMMARY
A 38-year-old man sustained a comminuted fracture of his right hip as a result of a car accident. The injuries included a fracture of the femoral head, a fracture of the femoral neck, an intertrochanteric fracture of the femur, and a posterior dislocation of the hip on the same side. We opted for a treatment approach combining the use of a proximal femoral locking plate, cannulated screws, and Kirschner wires. Following the surgery, we developed an individualized rehabilitation program to restore patient limb function.
CONCLUSION
For this complex fracture, we selected appropriate internal fixation and formulated individualized rehabilitation, which ultimately achieved good results.

Authors: Guo Xiao-Bo , Chen Jin-Wei , Liu Jun-Yang , Jin Jiang-Tao 
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND
Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar decompression (PELD) shows promise for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) treatment, but its use is limited by the disease's complexity and procedural challenges.
AIM
In this study, the effects of preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance with computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) registration techniques on PELD for LSS and postoperative rehabilitation outcomes were evaluated.
METHODS
This retrospective study was conducted with data from patients who underwent PELD for LSS between January 2021 and December 2023. Patients were assigned to preoperative CT/MRI registration and control groups. Data collected included the operative time, length of hospital stay, visual analog scale (VAS) scores for low back and leg pain, and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) lumbar spine score. Differences between groups were assessed using Student’s t test.
RESULTS
Data from 135 patients (71 in the CT/MRI registration group, 64 in the control group) were analyzed. The operative time was significantly shorter in the CT/MRI registration group (P = 0.007). At 2 months postoperatively, both groups showed significant reductions in VAS leg and low back pain scores (all P < 0.001) and improvements in the JOA score (both P < 0.001). No complication or death occurred. Preoperatively, pain and JOA scores were similar between groups (P = 0.830, P = 0.470, and P = 0.287, respectively). At 2 months postoperatively, patients in the CT/MRI registration group reported lower leg and low back pain levels (P < 0.001 and P = 0.001, respectively) and had higher JOA scores (P = 0.004) than did patients in the control group.
CONCLUSION
Preoperative CT/MRI registration for PELD for LSS reduced the operative time and VAS pain scores at 2 months and improved JOA scores, demonstrating enhanced effectiveness and safety.

Authors: Yan Jun , Zhu Jun-Yu , Zhao Fei-Fei , Xiao Jian , Li Hao , Wang Ming-Xin , Guo Jing , Cui Liang , Xing Geng-Yan 
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is increasingly being recognized as an advantageous alternative for treating non-union due to its efficacy and minimal associated complications. Non-union following Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is particularly challenging, with a reported 55% delayed union and 8% non-union. Herein, we highlight a unique case of ischial non-union post-PAO treated successfully with a structured ESWT regimen.
CASE SUMMARY
A 50-year-old patient, diagnosed with left ischial non-union following the PAO, underwent six cycles of ESWT treatment across ten months. Each cycle, spaced four weeks apart, consisted of five consecutive ESWT sessions without anesthesia. Regular X-ray follow-ups showed progressive disappearance of the fracture line and fracture union. The patient ultimately achieved a satisfactory asymptomatic recovery and bone union.
CONCLUSION
The results from this case suggest that this ESWT regimen can be a promising non-invasive treatment strategy for non-union following PAO.

Authors: Довгаль В.А. 
Published: October 2024

Быстрое развитие технологий беспилотных летательных аппаратов (БПЛА) привело к появлению идеи объединения дронов в единую систему, которая тем не менее не избавлена от проблем с планированием задач. Стая дронов по-прежнему стал-кивается с такими проблемами, как сложность удаленного управления и удобство взаи-модействия человека и машины. С другой стороны, в настоящее время активно развива-ются большие языковые модели как способ общения вычислительных устройств на есте-ственном языке общения. В настоящем исследовании предлагается соединить управление несколькими беспилотными летательными аппаратами с семантическим пониманием контекста фраз большими языковыми моделями. Предлагаемый в данной статье метод оперативного планирования задач для роя дронов на основании оперативной информа-ции, получаемой сенсорами, даст возможность беспилотникам точно понимать задачи пользователей на естественном языке, позволяя упростить, повысить эффективность и безопасность управления несколькими дронами, тем самым повышая летные характери-стики и диапазон применения стаи дронов.
The rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies has led to the idea of combining drones into a single system, which nevertheless is not free from prob-lems with task planning. The drone flock still faces challenges such as the complexity of remote control and the convenience of human-machine interaction. On the other hand, large language models are currently actively developing as a way for computing devices to communicate in a natural language of communication. In this study, it is proposed to combine the control of sev-eral unmanned aerial vehicles with the semantic understanding of the context of phrases by large language models. The method proposed in this article for operational task planning for a swarm of drones, based on the operational information received by sensors, will enable drones to accurately understand user tasks in natural language, allowing them to simplify, improve the efficiency and safety of controlling several drones, thereby increasing the flight characteristics and range of application of a flock of drones.

Historicamente, a violência sexual contra a crianças é um problema mundial que, infelizmente, tornou-se objeto de preocupação das políticas públicas somente nas últimas décadas. O presente artigo é uma revisão narrativa deste tema, envolvendo artigos obtidos nas bases de dados Medline e LILACS, nos últimos 5 anos. De 1221 títulos, foram selecionados 17 artigos. Trata-se de um problema complexo, agravado por fatores como a maior ocorrência dentro do círculo familiar, o que dificulta sua denúncia e abordagem, e muitas vezes não existe um preparo adequado dos profissionais envolvidos, desde os educadores, conselheiros tutelares, psicólogos e poder judiciário. A ocorrência da violência sexual dentro da família aumenta o risco de ela se repetir. As escolas precisam ensinar às crianças conhecimentos e habilidades de autoproteção contra o abuso sexual. Muitas vezes as crianças revelam o abuso por meio do seu comportamento e isto deve levar à intervenção sem esperar por uma revelação verbal direta. As crianças constituem o maior patrimônio da humanidade. É dever da família, das escolas, das organizações sociais, do estado e de toda a sociedade, educar, preparar e dar condições para que elas cresçam em ambientes saudáveis e que possam participar de uma sociedade harmoniosa.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui eksistensi Badan Usaha milik Desa (BUMDes) dalam memberikan kontribusi pendapatan asli desa Kaluppini Kecamatan Enrekang Kabupaten Enrekang. Adapun teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu Observasi, Dokumentasi, dan Wawancara. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 8 orang yaitu 1 Kepala Desa 1 Pemerintah Desa 2 Pengurus BUMDes dan 4 masyarakat. Teknik analisis dari penelitian ini adalah penelitian deksriptif.
Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa eksistensi badan usaha milik desa (BUMDes) Kaluppini sudah tidak berjalan sampai sekarang dikarenakan kendala dan masalah dalam pengelolaan BUMDes. Adapun kendalanya yaitu kurangnya sumberdaya manusia yang ada di BUMDes dan kurangnya pengetahuan tentang BUMDes. Masalah yang di hadapi dalam pengelolaan BUMDes yaitu yang pertama, pada saat pemerintah desa melakukan perekrutan pengurus BUMDes baru untuk mengganti pengurus BUMDes yang lama tidak ada masyarakat yang berminat mendaftarkan diri sebagai pengurus BUMDes dan masalah yang kedua yaitu keberadaan BUMDes dimata sebagian masyarakat desa belum mampu dianggap hal yang bisa meningkatkan pendapatan desa. Sehingga hal ini yang menyebabkan hambatan dalam pengelolaan keberjalanan BUMDes di desa Kaluppini Kecamatan Enrekang Kabupaten Enrekang. Kemudian BUMDes Kaluppini telah memberikan kontribusi pada pendapatan asli desa pada tahun 2020 dan 2021
