Cemented in place: kyphoplasty-associated pulmonary cement embolism: a case report
Authors: Cho Sung Jun , Magale Hussein , Dimitrov Kiril 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background
Kyphoplasty-associated cement extravasation into surrounding tissue and vasculature can lead to life-threatening complications. We present a rare case of significant inferior vena cava cement burden that resulted in pulmonary embolism.

Case presentation
A 74-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of severe osteoporosis, recurrent falls, and spinal compression fracture status post-kyphoplasty of the L4–L5 vertebrae, presents to the emergency department 2 days post-vertebral kyphoplasty due to chest pain, back pain, and dyspnea. Computed tomography of the chest and abdomen showed a metallic density within the inferior vena cava extending superiorly approximately 10 cm from the vertebral L5 level. She was also found to have right lower lobe pneumonia. The patient finished a 10-day course of antibiotics and was discharged home with a 1-month long course of anticoagulation with apixaban per recommendations of a multidisciplinary team consisting of Hematology/Oncology, Interventional Radiology, Vascular Surgery, and Orthopedic Surgery. Unfortunately, the patient was readmitted a month later with shortness of breath. Work up was notable for an influenza type A infection and computed tomography findings of pulmonary cement embolism. The respiratory distress was resolved with supportive care. Despite pulmonary cement burden, the multidisciplinary care team recommended no further anticoagulation. Patient was discharged home with close clinical follow-up and 6 months has since passed at the time of this report without reported complications.

Conclusions
A large cement burden in the inferior vena cava leading to pulmonary cement embolism is a rare event. A high burden of cement predisposes development of pulmonary embolism. A short course of anticoagulation may only be needed for asymptomatic patients.

Published: August 2024

AbstractAmidst the global pursuit of sustainable alternatives in concrete production, this study explores the viability of incorporating by-products or waste materials as aggregates to support the concrete construction industry, with a specific emphasis on steel slag. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of steel slag as a partial replacement for fine and coarse aggregates in concrete production. The experiment involved casting 30 cubes and 10 beams, replacing fine aggregate from 0 to 60%. Flexural and compressive strength tests at 7 and 28 days followed the ACI method. Results revealed that a 30% replacement of fine aggregate with steel slag led to higher compressive strength at both 7 and 28 days, while a 45% replacement showed superior flexural strength at 28 days. Further chemical analysis and optimization are recommended for deeper insights. The study concludes with marginal improvements in compressive and flexural strength with steel slag partial replacement, identifying 30% for fine aggregate and 45% for coarse aggregate as optimal replacements. In addition, the mineral composition of steel slag exhibits significant variability, with compounds, including silicon dioxide (SiO2), iron oxide (Fe2O3), manganese oxide (MnO), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and calcium oxide (CaO). Chemical analysis indicates high silicate content and minimal alkali content, contributing to enhanced strength during concreting. Higher steel slag replacement reduces workability, confirmed by slump tests. However, all mixes maintain a true slump, and unit weight increases with steel slag aggregate replacement. Compressive strength improves incrementally with higher steel slag content, echoing prior research. In addition, flexural strength rises with steel slag replacing both coarse and fine aggregates, suggesting enhanced performance in reinforced concrete structures. These findings highlight steel slag’s potential as a sustainable alternative in concrete production, aiming to advance its application in the construction industry, promoting environmental sustainability and economic viability.
Clinical cut-off scores for the Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children to differentiate among adolescents with Borderline Personality Disorder, other psychopathology, and no psychopathology: a replication study
Authors: Gecha Tess , McLaren Veronica , Sharp Carla 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background
Despite being one of the most popular measures of borderline pathology in adolescents, only one study has evaluated clinical cut-off scores for the Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children (BPFS-C) using a small sample without a healthy comparison group (Chang B, Sharp C, Ha C. The Criterion Validity of the Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children in an Adolescent Inpatient Setting. J Personal Disord. 2011;25(4):492–503. https://doi.org/10.1521/pedi.2011.25.4.492.). The purpose of the current study was to replicate and improve on the limitations of the prior study conducted by Chang et al. to more definitively establish clinical cut-off scores for the self- and parent-report versions of the BPFS-C to detect clinical and sub-clinical borderline personality disorder (BPD) in a large sample of adolescents with BPD, other psychopathology, and no psychopathology.

Methods
A total of 900 adolescents ranging from ages 12–17 participated in this study. The clinical sample consisted of 622 adolescents recruited from an inpatient psychiatric facility, and the healthy control sample consisted of 278 adolescents recruited from the community. All participants completed the BPFS-C and were administered the Child Interview for DSM-IV Borderline Personality Disorder (CI-BPD).

Results
Using three-way ROC analyses, cut-off scores on the self- and parent-report versions of the BPFS-C distinguishing adolescents with BPD from those with subclinical BPD, and those with subclinical BPD from healthy adolescents were established.

Conclusions
These findings support the use of both versions of the BPFS-C to detect adolescents with BPD and sub-clinical BPD.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
One of the finest fifteenth-century portraits of the Burgundian Duke Philip the Good resides in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon. This small yet exceptionally crafted panel holds significance for both historians and art historians alike. Surprisingly, prior to this study, the context, the dating and the authorship of the piece remained obscure, and the widely circulated hypothesis of it being “a copy of a lost portrait by Rogier van der Weyden” has never been corroborated by convincing arguments. Clarifying the context, dating and authorship of the painting were the primary objectives of the investigations discussed in the article. Therefore, this painting underwent a multidisciplinary investigation spanning both the positive and human sciences. Macro-XRF scans were conducted alongside hyperspectral reflectance scans, multispectral imaging in the visible and infrared range, and optical coherence tomography. These analyses were complemented by an art historical study. As a result, a precise delineation between authentic and retouched sections was achieved. This article does not merely present the various perspectives separately but constructs a coherent narrative based on all these foundations. This holistic multidisciplinary research methodology produced a clear account, albeit with some scope for future inquiry. The involvement of the painter Pieter Cristus was conclusively demonstrated. This painter, whether himself personally, an assistant in the workshop or a contemporary follower, is attributed to the genesis of this work, which is presumed to be not the original portrait but a contemporaneous copy, possibly commissioned by the Burgundian Duke himself. While we no longer remain in the dark and have lifted some veils, this study also paves the way for further investigation into this panel and the numerous other portraits of Philip the Good.
The importance of Haemophilus influenzae in community-acquired pneumonia: an emerging pathogen in the elderly regardless of comorbidities compared to Streptococcus pneumoniae

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background
Haemophilus influenzae community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is common, and it is equally common to Streptococcus pneumoniae in some settings. The purpose of this study was to provide additional data on patients affected by H. influenzae CAP and their outcomes.

Methods
Streptococcus pneumoniae-caused CAP (111 cases) was compared to CAP with H. influenzae (53 cases). Patients were adults (≥ 18 years) from the prospective study “Etiology of community acquired pneumonia in Sweden” (ECAPS), which was established during the years 2016–2018.

Results
Cases with H. influenzae CAP were significantly older compared to S. pneumoniae CAP (median 77 vs 70 years, p = 0.037) albeit similar comorbidities. Haemophilus influenzae was generally absent in the bloodstream compared to S. pneumoniae (18% vs 2%, p = 0.01) but clinical presentations were comparable. Only a minority of patients, 34% with H. influenzae and 41% with S. pneumoniae CAP had underlying lung disease.

Conclusion
In the light of childhood immunization campaigns against S. pneumoniae and the increasing numbers of pneumococcal vaccinations among the elderly, coupled with an aging population, the incidence of CAP caused by H. influenzae may increase. Further research is needed to understand the impact of H. influenzae CAP and to a development of a vaccine against this emerging microbe.

Permasalahan jumlah penduduk yang semakin meningkat menambah pentingnya kedudukan akan tanah dalam kehidupan setiap orang yang memiliki tanah dan bangunan. Sertifikat adalah surat yang diberi tanda tangan yang memuat peristiwa-peristiwa yang menjadi dasar pada suatu ha atau perikatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkat kesadaran masyarakat Desa Paga terhadap kepemilikan sertifikat tanah dan juga untuk mengetahui upaya yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat dan pemerintah Desa Paga dalam mengurus sertifikat tanah. pada penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui wawancara dokumentasi dan observasi di mana dalam metode ini penulis ingin mengkaji kesadaran masyarakat Desa Paga tepatnya di RT/RW 017/008 tentang faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkat kesadaran masyarakat terhadap kepemilikan sertifikat tanah. Pemahaman sertifikat tanah bagi masyarakat Desa Paga adalah sebagai bukti hukum. Tetapi ada beberapa masyarakat yang belum memiliki sertifikat tanah dimana masih melihat dari Undang-undang dan peraturannya. Hal ini menyebabkan masyarakat enggan untuk mengurus sertifikat tanah karena dianggap masih hal yang biasa jika belum memiliki sertifikat tanah. Masyarakat masih berpegang pada aturan atau pedoman bahwa “batas tanah” atau dalam bahasa setempat disebut “Langi” maka itu sudah menjadi dasar hukum untuk mengklaim bahwa itu merupakan tanah mereka. Namun secara hukumnya tanah harus dibuat dengan sertifikat sebagai bukti hak atas tanah agar terhindar dari masalah-masalah yang akan timbul dalam masyarakat.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe research was conducted for three types of houses, including a panel house built before 1991, a brick house built in 2006, and a brick house built in 2022. It was established that the temperature difference, which is decisive when assessing the sanitary and hygienic condition of the premises, does not exceed the normative values for buildings built after 2006. In the building since 1991, the sanitary and hygienic indicators of the heated room deteriorate when the outside air temperature drops below −3 °C. At the same time, the fulfillment of the first condition of comfort in the room occurs at indoor air temperatures higher than the standard value, therefore, under the calculated conditions, residents feel discomfort when staying in such a room.

Published: August 2024

The research is concerned with the impact of visual signs in directing the meanings of Arabic calligraphy and its implications as a visible sign, as well as the meaning it carries as a written text. We have followed the semiotic approach to reveal the mechanism of the functioning of signs within a specific format and their role in directing meaning, because semiotics is the science that is concerned with the study of signifiers, whether they are linguistic or visual; The research, then, is classified within the semiotics of the visible.
The research seeks to shed light on visual signs such as: lines, shapes, colors, angles, and spaces that produce and give deep meanings to the meanings of Arabic fonts and the meanings of sentences and words.
The problem: What are the procedural mechanisms adopted in the interpretation of the meaning of Arabic calligraphy within the framework of the plastic painting? Do the forms formed for the plastic board: colors, graphics, symbols, affect the connotations and suggestions of the line it contains? Is paying attention to the meaning of the speech without paying attention to the significance of the spelling drawing that it carries sufficient to reach the depth of the significance?
Among the results of the research: - Visual signs in plastic painting combine with references: religious, cultural, social, ideological, and human experiences to form the meaning of the plastic painting or the meaning of the meaning. .

Realizing the meaning of the visual sign is related to the presence of a previous visual culture for the recipient and a visual lexicon, in order to move from the iconic meaning to the semiotic meaning.

يهتم البحث بالوقوف على أثر العلامات البصرية في توجيه معاني الخط العربي وتمدللاته بوصفه علامة مرئية فضلا عما يحمله من معنى بوصفه نصا مكتوبا.
وقد اتبعنا المنهج السيميائي للكشف عن آلية اشتغال العلامات ضمن نسق معين ودورها في توجيه المعنى، ذلك أن السيميائيات هي العلم الذي يهتم بدراسة الأنساق الدالة سواء أكانت لغوية أم بصرية؛ البحث إذن يصنف ضمن سيمياء المرئي.
يسعى البحث إلى تسليط الضوء على العلامات البصرية مثل: الخطوط والأشكال والألوان والزوايا، والمسافات التي تنتج وتضفي دلالات عميقة على معاني الخطوط العربية ومعاني الجمل والكلمات.
الإشكالية: ما هي الآليات الإجرائية المعتمدة في تفتيق دلالة الخط العربي داخل إطار اللوحة التشكيلية؟ هل تؤثر الأنساق المشكلة للوحة التشكيلية: ألوان رسومات رموز، في دلالات وإيحاءات الخط الذي تحتويه؟
هل الاهتمام بمعنى الخطاب دون الاهتمام بدلالة الرسم الإملائي الذي يحمله يعد كافيا للوصول إلى عمق الدلالة؟
ومن نتائج البحث: - تتضافر العلامات البصرية في اللوحة التشكيلية بم تحمله من مرجعيات: دينية، ثقافية، اجتماعية، إيديولوجية، وتجارب إنسانية لتشكل معنى اللوحة التشكيلية أو معنى المعنى.
إن إدراك معنى العلامة المرئية يرتبط بوجود ثقافة بصرية سابقة لدى المتلقي ومعجما بصريا، قصد الانتقال من المعنى الإيقوني إلى المعنى السيميائي.
Reducing the Carbon Footprint of the Anesthesia Provider
Authors: McGowan Levi Scott 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background: Modern anesthesia contributes to environmental pollution with some anesthetics creating a larger carbon footprint. Therefore, the selection among contemporary anesthetics can have a direct impact on the carbon footprint created by the anesthesia provider. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) provided over 45 million anesthetics in 2018, and practice changes could dramatically reduce the carbon footprint. Purpose: Provide education to CRNAs about concrete measures which reduce the carbon footprint of anesthesia care and provide multiple secondary benefits. Methods: A presentation was given to participating Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) on carbon footprint reducing anesthesia techniques. CRNAs who participated completed a twenty question post-educational survey about carbon footprint reduction. Results: The data collected from a convenience sample (N=10) showed a marked improvement in the knowledge related to techniques to reduce the carbon footprint of the anesthesia provider. The survey revealed that the participants found the educational session added valuable information to the educational training of the CRNA. Conclusions and Recommendations: The results showed that when given additional education about environmentally cleaner anesthetics, the clinicians became more aware of safer and greener alternatives for anesthetic use. The reduced carbon footprint anesthetic is not only better environmentally but is also safer and leads to improved patient satisfaction by reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting. The lowered carbon footprint anesthetics can also reduce pharmacological costs. Therefore, a multitude of benefits will occur including financial, environmental, and patient quality outcomes when utilizing the reduced carbon footprint anesthetic techniques.

The Laryngeal Mask Airway: Is It Safe for Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy?
Authors: Reid, CRNA, MSNA Jo , Austin,CRNA, PhD Paul N. , Rodriguez, PhD Ricardo E. 
Published: August 2024

Tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy (T&A) is one of the most common pediatric surgical procedures performed in the United States. Traditionally an endotracheal tube is used to secure the airway in these cases. However, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is also being used for pediatric T&As. This review explores the question: In pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy, does the laryngeal mask airway compared to the endotracheal tube provide a safe and effective means of airway management?While all evidence sourcesconcluded it was possible to use an LMA for pediatric T&A, not all of the investigators fully supported its use in this setting. The authors of six of the seven evidence sources determined that the LMA was an overall safe and viable alternative for this procedure, but one of the RCTs indicated the issues with kinking and visualization and called for further study. Future investigation should compare different types of laryngeal mask airways to determine superiority in terms of surgical access, visualization,and reduced displacement or kinking with insertion of the mouth gag.

The aim of this project is to find materials and possibilities that allow thermal storage at temperatures in the range of 8 to 15 ° C (PCM8-15) and 50 ° C (PCM50) in addition to today's ice storage. Ice storage for storing latent heat for cooling purposes are now operated with water. For new applications in the field of air conditioning and heating, a higher temperature level is exergetically much cheaper. Based on the PCM with the phase transition temperature of 50 ° C, the storage density can be achieved in the useful hot water storage. This reduces the storage space of the thermal energy store. The material chosen has phase change occurring at 10°C.
