Abdominoscrotal Hydrocele - Considerations
Authors: Mahalingam Kokilavani , Sundararajan Lakshmi 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Aim:
The aim of the study was to highlight the pathology, clinical spectrum, and approach considerations in abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH).

Materials and Methods:
Our study included eight children with ASH from 2015 to 2022. The demographics, clinical presentation, investigations, operative details, and postoperative outcome were collected retrospectively from case files.

Results:
The age of presentation ranged from 11 months to 2½ years. Six lesions were on the right side and two were on the left side. One child presented with an acute scrotum and underwent emergency inguinal exploration, revealing hemorrhagic fluid after trauma. Others presented with tense inguinoscrotal swelling, which was fully reducible but refilled promptly after emptying. Preoperative ultrasound showed the abdominal component in 50%, while others were detected intraoperatively. All of them were approached inguinally, and the hydrocele sac was traced proximally to the abdominal component through the internal ring. This was drained and a partial excision of the extraperitoneal sac was done. An additional patent processus vaginalis (PPV) was identified in 87%, dissected up to the deep ring, and ligated. On follow-up, there was no recurrence.

Conclusion:
ASH is an uncommon condition that should be identified and dealt with appropriately. Physical examination and ultrasonography are usually sufficient for diagnosis. The inguinal approach is a safe, simple method and an extension of the standard operation for the hydrocele. One must keep in mind to explore for an additional narrow PPV to prevent the recurrence of hydrocele.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas in children is a rare tumor with low malignant potential. Some tumors, however, behave aggressively. There is very little literature on managing these variants, especially in children. We share our experience of managing large and recurrent SPN and explore the clinicopathological findings correlating to the risk of recurrence.

Methods:
This is a retrospective study of children treated for SPN between 2012 and 2022 at a tertiary care center in India. The clinicopathological features and management strategies in these children were evaluated.

Results:
Sixteen children with SPN were treated during this period (88% of girls). The median age of presentation was 12 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 9–14). All children presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography gave a definitive diagnosis in 81% of cases. The tumor predominantly involved the head of the pancreas (n = 9, 56%). Eight of nine children classified as high-grade (HG) malignant had a benign course. One child had a recurrence of the tumor 4 years after the initial resection and further recurrence on chemotherapy. She required radiation therapy in addition to reoperation following which she was disease free for 77 months. The overall median follow-up was 46 months (IQR: 18–72 months).

Conclusion:
Complete resection of the tumor provides a cure in most patients with SPN. Recurrent tumors require a multi-modality approach. Long-term survival is good. There is a need for clear definitions of the components within the WHO criteria for HG malignancy.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Context:
Performing surgery on the anterior mandible could harm the mandibular incisive canal (MIC). To prevent it, preoperative radiographic assessment is essential.

Aims:
Aim of our study was to examine the visibility and presence of the MIC along with measurement of the length of MIC by utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Settings and Design:
Images from 50 subjects, ranging in age from 20 to 60 years, who had their mandibles examined by CBCT were taken from the archive.

Methods and Material:
Reconstructed images included cross-sectional and panoramic views. The canal’s visibility was obtained from the mesial to the mental foramen and finally to the incisal extension. The shortest distance between the mesial and distal portions of the canal was determined to be the length of the MIC.

Statistical Analysis Used:
To analyze independent samples, t-tests were employed.

Results:
In 40 cases (80%), the visibility of MIC was seen as bilateral, and in 10 cases (20%), as unilateral. The visible length among the population ranged from a minimum of 0.00 to a maximum of 25.25 mm, with an average of 15.37 ± 5.59.

Conclusions:
Future research could utilize the differences in prevalence with respect to gender and visibility as a point of reference.

Results:
All collected responses were valid, revealing that most students, primarily from middle- or lower-income groups, have a satisfactory level of knowledge regarding oral hygiene. Over 90% recognize its importance for overall health. While practices were generally good, areas for improvement were identified, alongside an overall positive attitude. However, infrequent dental visits were noted as a concern.

Conclusion:
Focusing on improving oral hygiene attitudes and practices among the younger generation could have long-term benefits, especially in developing countries aiming for better oral health outcomes.
Contact lens holographic projection display based on curved volume‐holographic optical element
Authors: Lee Jin Su 
Published: July 2024

AbstractWearable devices for augmented reality (AR) have gained considerable attention but research on contact lenses remains scarce. This study introduces an AR display that utilizes a contact lens integrated with a holographic projection display and a curved volume‐holographic optical element. We designed a holographic projection display with a total FoV 15°(supported FoV 10°) and a 6.9 mm 3.9 mm eyebox, respectively. The computer‐generated hologram was optimized to null quality degradation caused by pupil constraints and asymmetric diffraction efficiency distribution. The diffraction efficiency of the holographic optical element used in the contact lens was calculated to provide insights into the anticipated optical performance and identify issues associated with the proposed system. Excellent performance with a maximum diffraction efficiency of 95% is demonstrated under Bragg conditions. However, a substantial drop in efficiency is observed at angular deviations 4°. Conversely, the wavelength deviations had a negligible impact on diffraction efficiency. Finally, the proposed contact lens holographic display was optically reconstructed, confirming its potential as a next‐generation wearable display technology.

This research method uses qualitative descriptive research. The data source used in this research used random sampling, totaling 6 parents in Sukapura Village, Sukapura District. The emergence of symptoms of a decline in morals that occur among young children can be seen in children's poor behavior and bad words spoken by young children. This research aims to find out the role of parents in the formation of morals in early childhood. Based on the results of research on the role of parents in forming children's morals, the results obtained are: parents have provided education in the form of moral and religious values, given examples of good behavior and speech, carried out habits with their children, some parents have also given sanctions, namely in the form of light punishments which have a deterrent effect on children. Apart from education in the family, factors that can influence the formation of morals are the school environment and community environment. From the results of interviews with parents, there were children who liked to talk dirty, this was due to the influence of friends when they were outside the house. On the other hand, there are also children who behave less well at home, but children are more reluctant at school because they feel afraid of teachers and people around them.

Социально-экономическое развитие поселений Камчатского края: современный уровень и потенциал
Authors: Ушаков Евгений Александрович 
Published: July 2024

В статье рассмотрены вопросы, связанные с уровнем современного социально-экономического развития и потенциалом поселений. Объектом исследования являются муниципальные поселения и населенные пункты Камчатского края. Камчатский край является отдаленным субъектом РФ от основной западной части страны. Это слабоосвоенный регион с очаговым типом расселения, слабой транспортной инфраструктурой и обладает неблагоприятными природно-климатическими условиями для проживания и освоения территории. Муниципальные поселения и их населенные пункты были поделены на 3 группы в зависимости от их экономико-географического расположения. Каждая из этих групп имеет различия в факторах развития и потенциале своих поселений (населённых пунктов), что сказывается на их уровень социально-экономической развитости. Наиболее развитыми поселениями являются приморские и прибрежные, которые специализируются на добыче и переработке морских биоресурсов. Менее развитыми являются континентальные поселения – для них природно-ресурсный фактор играет меньшую роль. Отдельно выделяются пригородные поселения Петропавловска-Камчатского, потенциал которых зависит от развития данного города. В целом потенциал поселений слабоосвоенного региона более зависим от использования природно-ресурсной базы территории и природно-ресурсный фактор является ключевым для развития большинства поселений.
