Magnetic Foreign Bodies of the Gastrointestinal Tract in a Child. Clinical Observations
Authors: Olkhova E. B. , Shchedrina K. A. 
Published: August 2024

Background. Ingestion of magnetic foreign bodies (MFBs) in pediatric practice has become common in recent years due to the prevalence of toys containing magnets. Ingestion of one small MFB rarely causes damage to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). However, with the non-simultaneous ingestion of multiple MFBs, there is a risk of complications (intestinal perforation, formation of infiltrate, development of intestinal obstruction, peritonitis), which determines the importance of accurate diagnosis and active surgical tactics for patient management.Objective. Demonstration of the capabilities of ultrasound diagnostics in detecting fixed MFBs of the digestive tract in children.Materials and Methods. Two clinical observations of MFBs are presented: in the first case, the absence of passage of MFBs through the GIT in an 8-year-old child was the reason for a targeted ultrasound search for magnets with determination of their localization. In the second case, in a 2.5-year-old girl, long-standing MFBs in the GIT simulated the clinical picture of celiac disease due to the formation of gastrointestinal fistulas. The children underwent X-ray examination and ultrasound.Results. In the first case, echographically it was possible to clearly differentiate the location of MFBs in the lumen of the colon; in the second case, fixed MFBs were echographically differentiated in the upper parts of the abdominal cavity. Complex radiological diagnostics made it possible to optimize the tactics of patient management: in the first case, MFBs were successfully removed during colonoscopy; in the second observation, endoscopic removal of 3 MFBs from the stomach and laparoscopic removal of 24 MFBs from the small intestine and large intestine and separation of interintestinal anastomoses were performed. Both children recovered.Conclusion. Ultrasound can be recommended as an additional diagnostic method for MFBs of the digestive tract in children to clarify the localization of MFBs and assess complications. Performing an ultrasound is advisable after an X-ray examination, when the approximate localization of MFBs is known.

Reclaiming Digital Sovereignty
Authors: Neudert Lisa-Maria 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Why has the policy idea of mandating digital platforms with the procedural enforcement of national laws proven to be so widely appealing? This article employs an instrumental case study of Germany’s NetzDG and develops a power-integrated multiple streams approach to examine the power dynamics between nation-states and big tech platforms in the development of digital policy. Drawing on 26 elite interviews, document analysis, and process tracing, the research uncovers a tug-of-war over sovereignty in the digital sphere. This struggle is characterized by the state’s objectives to reclaim power, continuous contention over key resources, and the critical role of policy entrepreneurs, all of which profoundly shape contemporary technology regulations.

Kecombrang (Etlingera elatior) is one of the native plants of Indonesia. E.elatior is used as a condiment, food, medicine, and ornament. The antioxidant properties of rhizomes, leaves, and flowers of E.elatior has not been reported. This study aimed to explore the antioxidant capacity of the rhizome, leaves, and flowers of E.elatior in extracts and fractions. The rhizome, leaves, and flower of E.elatior were macerated by ethanol 96% to generate crude extract. The crude extract was fractionated by n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol 96% to generate n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol fraction. The total phenolic compound was determined spectrophotometrically using the follin-ciocalteau color complex. The antioxidant effect of extracts and fractions of E.elatior was evaluated using DPPH scavenging activity. The largest total phenolic compound of E.elatior was in the ethanolic fraction of flower (298.47mgGAE/100g), and the lowest was in a crude extract of rhizome (61.80mgGAE/100g). The very strong antioxidant capacity (IC50 value <50ppm) was in crude extract, n-hexane fraction of rhizome, and an ethanolic fraction of leaves. The strong antioxidant capacity (IC50 value: 50-100 ppm) was crude extract and all fractions of flower; ethyl acetate and an ethanolic fraction of rhizome; crude extract, n-hexane, and ethyl acetate fraction of leaf. The conclusion of this study is that, depending on the type of solvent, the type of antioxidant compounds being extracted and antioxidant capacity also vary.

Influence of Social Economic Status and Interest on Students’ Academic Performance
Authors: Salako Adebayo 
Published: August 2024

The positioning of any economy in the global light is anchored on the growth and development of its educational institutions hence the more developed these institutions are, the more advanced such economy will be to handle issues related to technological advancements, development of military arsenals, robust & global economy and scientific breakthroughs et. The performance of these institutions is dependent on the impact of both informal and formal education on the academic performance of students influenced by certain key factors amongst which includes; Socio-economic Status (SES) and Interest. This paper seeks not to only investigate the impact of these two factors but also observe amongst them which has a greater impact on academic performance while steering its attention on two core subjects; Mathematics and English Language. On this premises, let’s consider the performance of 210 students in the Senior Secondary One (SS1) spanning across six (6) different Schools within the city of Jos. The data collected were analyzed and tabulated using Microsoft Excel. Results showed that though both factors impact academic performance (either positively or negatively) however SES seems to have a much greater influence on academic performance than interest.
Issue of Perception of Form and Space in Japanese Art Movement “Mono-ha” of the 1960–1970s
Authors: Чердакова О.И. 
Published: August 2024

В статье рассматриваются основные этапы формирования направления моно-ха (‘школы вещей’). В своей практике художники моно-ха смещают фокус с содержания и фигуративности на форму и пространство с целью исследовать сам материальный объект и взаимоотношения, возникающие между этими двумя аспектами (в некоторых случаях пространство не входит в эту формулу и зритель наблюдает взаимодействие нескольких материалов). При этом художники стремятся к минимальному воздействию на материал, стараясь сохранить его естественное, первозданное состояние. Искусство моно-ха развивалось под воздействием европейского направления arte povera (‘бедного искусства’), американского минимализма и других художественных течений середины XX в., однако концептуально оно в большей степени связано с философией дзэн-буддизма, основанной на медитации с концентрацией на каком-либо объекте или мысли. Художники, как и дзэн-буддисты, стремятся к обретению гармонии через принятие естественности этого мира, концентрируясь на нахождении в конкретном месте и в конкретное время. Взаимодействие японского и западного искусства порождает многообразие пластических идей и художественных форм. Анализируя концепцию восприятия формы и пространства мастеров моно-ха, автор предпринял попытку доказать, что это направление является важным этапом интеграции японского искусства в мировое художественное пространство.
The article discusses the main stages of the formation of mono-ha movement. In their practice, artists of the “school of things” shift the focus from content and figurativeness to form and space in order to explore the material object itself and the relationships that arise between these two aspects (in some cases, space is not included in this “formula”, and the viewer observes interaction of several materials). At the same time, artists strive for minimal impact on the material, trying to preserve its natural, pristine state. The art of mono-ha developed under the influence of the European movement of arte povera (“poor art”), American minimalism and other artistic movements of the mid-20th century, however, conceptually it is more connected with the philosophy of Zen Buddhism, based on meditation with a concentration on either some object or a thought. Artists, like Zen Buddhists, strive to achieve harmony through accepting the naturalness of this world, concentrating on being in a specific place and at a specific time. The interaction of Japanese and Western art gives rise to a variety of plastic ideas and artistic forms. Analyzing the concept of perception of form and space by the Mono-ha masters, an attempt has been made to prove that the Mono-ha art movement is an important stage of the integration of Japanese art into the world artistic space.
Factors Affecting Postoperative Early-term Mortality and Anastomotic Leakage in Geriatric Colorectal Cancer Patients
Authors: Uzunoğlu Hakan , Kaya Selcuk 
Published: August 2024

AIM: In terms of early-term mortality, there may be variability in terms of factors belonging to age groups. While some risk factors apply to all patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery, some factors may come to the fore in terms of age. There have been very few studies on factors that increase the risk of early-term mortality, especially for geriatric patients. It was aimed to compare factors influencing prognosis and mortality within the first 30 postoperative days between geriatric patients and those <65 years of age, and to identify factors that increase the risk of anastomotic leakage and early-term mortality, particularly in geriatric patients.
METHODS: Clinical, laboratory, and pathology findings from 341 patients (186 geriatric) who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer between January 2016 and December 2019 were collected and analyzed. In terms of categorical variables, comparisons between groups were made with Pearson's Chi Square test and Fisher's Exact Test. Risk coefficients of variables in terms of anastomotic leakage and early-term mortality were determined by logistic regression analysis. The results were evaluated within the 95% Confidence interval, and p < 0.05 values were considered significant.
RESULTS: Anastomotic leakage was detected in 7% of patients, and 6.2% of the patients died within the first 30 postoperative days. The 30-day postoperative mortality rate was significantly higher in geriatric patients with hypertension (p = 0.003), those undergoing emergency surgery (p = 0.007), those with stage 4 tumors (p < 0.001), those with ostomy-related complications (p = 0.042), those who developed intraabdominal abscess or peritonitis (p < 0.001), those with respiratory failure (p = 0.009), and those with perforation (p = 0.001). In patients <65 years of age, groups stratified by these variables did not differ significantly in terms of early-term mortality rate (p > 0.05 for each).
CONCLUSIONS: These findings show that lack of bowel preparation and development of intraabdominal abscess/peritonitis significantly increase early-term mortality rates in both <65 and geriatric patients. Additionally, hypertension, emergency surgery, advanced tumor stage, development of ostomy-related complications, respiratory failure, and perforation significantly increase early-term mortality solely in geriatric patients.
Intestinal Malrotation in a Patient with Gastric Cancer during Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy: A Case Report
Authors: Alrashidi Nasser 
Published: August 2024

AIM: Intestinal malrotation (IM) represents a rare congenital anomaly in adults, although it is more common during infancy. This condition originates during embryonic development due to incomplete rotation of the midgut around the superior mesenteric vessels. The primary aim of this case study is to emphasize the importance of surgeon awareness and recognition of this congenital anomaly during laparoscopic gastric surgery to avoid serious complications.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old male presented to the clinic with a complaint of vague epigastric pain for two months. The patient underwent a comprehensive clinical evaluation, including laboratory tests, endoscopic examination, and radiological imaging. The diagnostic workup revealed early-stage gastric cancer. Incidentally, radiological studies also demonstrated a congenital non-rotation of the small bowel. Given the patient's congenital anatomical anomaly, a laparoscopic total gastrectomy was performed employing a reversed C-shaped Roux-En-Y limb reconstruction. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged in stable condition.
RESULTS: The patient was doing well at the 2-year follow-up, there were no complications related to the form of anastomosis, and the pathological result was comparable to that of patients with non-rotating small bowls.
CONCLUSIONS: Intestinal malrotation is an uncommon asymptomatic congenital abnormality in adults. During laparoscopic gastric surgery, the surgeon should identify this anomaly to optimize surgical approaches, particularly during anastomosis formation. Accurate identification and appropriate management of intestinal malrotation are crucial to mitigate potential postoperative complications, including twisting, obstruction, tension, and anastomosis leak.

Published: August 2024

AIM: This work investigated the effect of an abdominal corset on the colonoscopy completion rate, as well as cecum and ileum intubation time, total colonoscopy time, and pain score in centrally obese patients.
METHODS: Patients were randomized into two groups, with 50 patients in each group. A colonoscopy was performed using the abdominal corset in Group 1 and the standard method in Group 2. The comparison between the groups evaluated demographic data, procedure details, circulatory dynamics, anesthesia data, and visual analogue scale (VAS).
RESULTS: Of the patients included in the study, 60 were female, and 40 were male, with a mean age of 57.3 ± 13.6 years. Cecal intubation time (Z: –2.66 p: 0.008), total colonoscopy time (Z: –2.180 p: 0.029), number of maneuvers (χ2: 8.391 p: 0.039), and VAS (Z: –3.087 p: 0.002) were significantly lower in the abdominal corset group.
CONCLUSIONS: An abdominal corset that applies external abdominal compression reduces the cecal intubation time, the total colonoscopy time, the number of maneuvers, and the pain level.

Authors: Bao Ruru , Olivier Mpano , Xiang Junmiao , Ye Piaopiao , Yan Xiaojian 
Published: August 2024

AIM: This study aimed to investigate the impact of lymph node dissection on the prognosis of early epithelial ovarian cancer and to assess the factors associated with lymph node metastasis.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, we collected and analyzed the demographic characteristics, clinical pathological data, and perioperative adverse events in newly diagnosed early epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients, Federation International of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IA–IIA. The patients underwent surgical treatment at the First, Second, and Third Affiliated Hospitals of Wenzhou Medical University in Zhejiang Province, China, between June 2012 and June 2022. The survival analysis was performed.
RESULTS: We enrolled 284 patients in this study, including 246 stage I, 28 stage II, and 10 stage III patients after surgery. Among them, 42 patients did not undergo lymph node dissection, 113 underwent pelvic lymph node dissection only, and 129 underwent pelvic plus para-aortic lymph node dissection. Among the lymph node dissection group, only 8 patients had lymph node metastasis (8/242, 3.3%), including 6 with pelvic lymph node metastasis and 2 with pelvic plus para-aortic lymph node metastasis. The median follow-up duration was 63 months. The systematic lymph node dissection group significantly prolonged the median operation duration and increased intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications (p < 0.05). Postoperative multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed FIGO stage III as an independent risk factor for Progression-Free-Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the preoperative cancer antigen 125 (CA125) level was observed as an independent factor affecting lymph node metastasis.
CONCLUSIONS: Systematic lymph node dissection showed minimal effect on the survival rate of patients with clinically apparent early epithelial ovarian cancer and increased the postoperative complications of patients.
Low Radiation Doses in Oncocytic Lesions of the Parotid Gland: A Double-edged Sword. A Comprehensive Review

Published: August 2024

Oncocytic lesions represent a group of benign and potentially precancerous tumors characterized by the accumulation of oncocytes, which are large, granular, and eosinophilic cells. Diagnosing oncocytic lesions in the parotid gland typically involves a combination of imaging techniques, such as ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT) scans, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy with histopathological examination remains the primary diagnostic tool for these lesions. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management decisions.
Treatment options for oncocytic lesions in the parotid gland include surgery, conservative management, and radiation therapy (RT). However, in the head and neck region, radiation doses can be a double-edged sword. While RT is a treatment modality, low radiation doses can promote the development of oncocytic lesions in the parotid gland. The prognosis for patients with oncocytic lesions is generally favorable, especially when the lesions are benign and appropriately managed.
Current research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying oncocytic lesions in response to low-dose radiation exposure. The development of these lesions following low radiation doses represents a significant clinical concern. This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge regarding oncocytic lesions in the parotid gland, including risk factors, diagnosis, treatment options, and ongoing research, offering valuable insights for clinicians and researchers.
