OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare injury circumstances, characteristics, and clinical management of emergency department (ED) presentations for sports-related concussion (SRC) and non-SRC.

METHODS
This multicenter prospective observational study identified patients 5–17 years old who presented to EDs within 24 hours of head injury, with one or more signs or symptoms of concussion. Participants had a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13–15 and no abnormalities on CT (if performed). Data were stratified by age: young children (5–8 years), older children (9–12 years), and adolescents (13–17 years).

RESULTS
Of 4709 patients meeting the concussion criteria, non-SRC accounted for 56.3% of overall concussions, including 80.9% of younger child, 51.1% of older child, and 37.0% of adolescent concussions. The most common mechanism of non-SRC was falls for all ages. The most common activity accounting for SRC was bike riding for younger children, and rugby for older children and adolescents. Concussions occurring in sports areas, home, and educational settings accounted for 26.2%, 21.8%, and 19.0% of overall concussions. Concussions occurring in a sports area increased with age, while occurrences in home and educational settings decreased with age. The presence of amnesia significantly differed for SRC and non-SRC for all age groups, while vomiting and disorientation differed for older children and adolescents. Adolescents with non-SRC were admitted to a ward and underwent CT at higher proportions than those with SRC.

CONCLUSIONS
Non-SRC more commonly presented to EDs overall, with SRC more common with increasing age. These data provide important information to inform public health policies, guidelines, and prevention efforts.

Published: July 2024

Hypothalamic hamartomas are congenital lesions of the hypothalamus, with a range of symptoms defined by lesion location. Common presenting symptoms include gelastic seizures and precocious puberty. When hamartoma-related seizures become resistant to medications, laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) has been shown to be an effective treatment. The authors present a case of robot-assisted LITT for a patient with an 11-year history of epilepsy due to hypothalamic hamartoma. In addition, they demonstrate the use of a stereotactic biopsy needle implemented during the procedure for possible biopsy of deep cranial lesions.

Published: July 2024

The use of self-compacting concrete in structural members has become increasingly prevalent in various construction applications. However, these structures are susceptible to one of the most hazardous disasters, which is the fire. This paper presents a numerical investigation of the fire resistance performance of self-compacting reinforced concrete (SCC) beams, as well as a parametric study to assess the impact of hybrid fibres and fire insulation on enhancing their performance under fire conditions. The study is conducted by developing a 3D finite element (FE) model using ANSYS software, where temperatures are applied according to the ISO834 standard fire. Geometric and material nonlinearities are considered in the evaluation of the behaviour of beams under fire conditions. The developed FE model is validated by comparing the predicted results with those of the experimental tests in literature. The fire resistance performance of SCC beams was compared with that of normal strength concrete (NSC) beams. The parametric study is conducted using three types of fire insulation, namely Tyfo WR-AFP, CAFCO 300, and Carboline Type-5MD. The results showed that SCC beam has lower fire resistance performance than the NSC beam. However, the incorporation of hybrid fibres allows a 17% improvement in the fire resistance of SCC beams. The use of fire insulations has increased the fire resistance time of SCC beams, and more particularly Carboline Type-5MD insulation with an increase of 28%. The combined use of hybrid fibres and fire insulation improved the fire resistance of SCC beams by 43%.

Authors: Yang Xian-Song 
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore the composition of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere soil of four deciduous fruit trees (pomegranate, peach, cherry, and ginkgo) and to study the bacterial community structure and metabolic function of them. 16S rRNA sequencing technology was adopted to analyze the bacterial community structure, and Tax4Fun was employed to predict the metabolic profiles of the bacterial community. The results showed that the Shannon index, Ace index, and Chao1 index values of the ginkgo rhizosphere soil samples were the largest, indicating that the bacterial diversity of ginkgo rhizosphere soil is the highest. 4764 OTUs were identified for bacteria and were classified as 46 phylums, 113 classes, 175 orders, 247 families, 339 genera, and 504 species. Whether at the phylum level, at the order level, or at the genus level, no significant differences in the composition of bacterial communities were detected among the rhizosphere soils of the four deciduous fruit trees. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidota, and Acidobacteriota were the most abundant phyla, and Gammaproteobacteria, Bacteroidota, Alphaproteobacteria, and Alphaproteobacteria were the most abundant orders across all samples. The KOs (KEGG orthology) were mainly involved in 6 KEGG level 1 pathways and 35 KEGG level 2 pathways. The relative abundance of these six pathways was not significantly different in rhizosphere soils among the four deciduous fruit trees at the first KEGG level. The main enrichment pathways of microorganism metabolism at the second KEGG level are consistent, mainly in carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and the metabolism of cofactors and vitamins.

The role of parathyroid autotransplantation for hypoparathyroidism following total thyroidectomy with bilateral central neck dissection
Authors: Wang Peisong , Xue Haowen , Zhu Xuemei , Xue Shuai 
Published: July 2024

BackgroundHypoparathyroidism is the most common complication for patients who undergo total thyroidectomy (TT) with bilateral central lymph node dissection (BCLND). The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the relationship between parathyroid autotransplantation (PA) and postoperative hypoparathyroidism.Materials and MethodsFour hundred and sixty-five patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) who underwent TT with BCLND (including prophylactic and therapeutic BCLND) by the same surgeon were enrolled in this retrospective study. They were divided into five groups based on the number of PAs. Group 0 was defined as no PA, while Group 1, 2, 3, and 4 were considered as 1, 2, 3, and 4 PAs during TT with BCLND, respectively.ResultsTransient and permanent hypoparathyroidism occurred in 83 (17.8%) and 2 (0.4%) patients who underwent TT and BCLND, respectively. The incidence of transient hypoparathyroidism increased gradually with an increase in the number of PAs. Compared with the previous group, Groups 2 and 3 had significantly more cases of transient hypoparathyroidism (p=0.03 and p=0.04, respectively). All cases of permanent hypoparathyroidism occurred in the patients without PA. Compared with Group 0, there were more removed central lymph nodes (RCLNs) in patients with one PA. Furthermore, Group 2 had more metastatic central lymph nodes(MCLNs) and RCLNs than Group 1.The number of PAs was the only identified risk factor for transient hypoparathyroidism after the multivariate logistic regression analysis. The median parathyroid hormone level recovered to the normal range within 1 month after surgery.ConclusionWith an increasing number of PAs, the possibility of transient hypoparathyroidism also increases in patients with PTC who undergo TT and BCLND. Considering the rapid recovery of transient hypoparathyroidism in 1 month, two PAs during TT and BCLND could be a good choice, leading to an increase in the central lymph node yield and no permanent hypoparathyroidism. However, this conclusion should be validated in future multicenter prospective studies.
