Background: Globally, severe acute malnutrition (SAM) remains a major killer of children under 5 years of age. The highest magnitude is seen in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia. Hypoglycemia is the most common complication of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and the most life-threatening condition in pediatric society. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of hypoglycemia and its associated factors among under-five children with severe acute malnutrition. Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted among 378 randomly selected samples who were admitted to public hospitals in the East Gojjam zone from 2018 to 2021. Data was extracted from the medical records of the children and entered into SPSS version 26, Variables with a p – value < 0.25 in the Bivariate analysis were candidates for multivariable logistic regression and those with a p – value < 0.05 in the multivariable analysis were considered as having a statistically significant association with hypoglycemia among severe acute malnutrition. Results: Out of 378 respondents, 50 (13.2%) had hypoglycemia with severe acute malnutrition patients. Children admitted between the ages of 0-6 months were 2.93 (AOR = 1.57-6.25, p = 0.000), shocks were 4.6 (AOR = 1.25-17.42, p = 0.034), and fully immunized children were (AOR: 2.61 (1.01- 6.77, p = 0.048) was significantly associated with hypoglycemia with severe acute malnutrition. Conclusion and recommendation: The prevalence of hypoglycemia with severe acute malnutrition was 13.2%. We also recommend a longitudinal study should be done among children who develop hypoglycemia with severe acute malnutrition to determine the long-term consequences, especially the neurodevelopmental sequelae associated with this condition.

Published: May 2024

This study includes the manufacture of two sets of composite materials consisting of polymethyl methacrylate reinforced with natural fibers. The first (R) group included eight layers of cotton with one layer of hair in the middle, and the second (O) group included six layers of cotton with three layers of burlap in the middle. The thermal conductivity of the two groups was checked using a Lee disc to identify the thermal conductivity (K), of group R 0.0771 w/m.c, and of group O 0.0754 w/m.c. These values are considered good as the material has good thermal insulation due to its low thermal conductivity values and is therefore suitable for use in prosthetic limbs as it can preserve the body temperature from external influences.
Introduction
Authors: Kopper Moisés , Knox Hannah 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
For decades now, scholars of quantification have been exposing the rationalist and modernist operations that lend numbers their political qualities. Yet recent anthropological scholarship has begun to show how data's ontological plasticity and messiness are constitutive of alternative political fields. This introduction brings these two streams of literature into productive conversation to rethink the means and meanings of number politics after datafication. We move beyond extant concerns about the governing and stabilising powers of numbers to highlight the moral and affective and the collective and subjective practices out of which data's political effects emerge. Foregrounding the everyday ethical work animating data worlds gives new insights into how numeric infrastructures thrive and fail within emerging socio-cultural and politico-legal milieus.
‘Credit Is a Basket’

Abstract
In 2019, the National Health Commission of China announced a nation-wide plan to incorporate blood donation into the country's emerging informational infrastructure: the social credit system (SCS). Through analysis of comments from Weibo, one of China's largest social media sites, alongside news articles and official government announcements from the time, we follow the figure of the basket, which we regard as vernacular critique. By analysing the formation of trust indicators, contestations over their commensurability, and the prospect of converting between moral deeds and financial advantage, we aim to augment understandings of the ways that quantification practices are, and become, moral projects.
With Endless Articulations

Abstract
The evolution of information infrastructures has shaped nature conservation related to wild species, landscapes and collections of biological diversity, efforts that are germane to nation-building and many other political projects. Extensive practices of quantification are now embedded in environmental monitoring, biodiversity protection and the banking of plant genetic resources. This suggests a kaleidoscope of human intentions and institutional mandates that are embodied within fluidly changing information systems. These technologies have come to condense cultural assumptions, values, and orientations to the Anthropocene. The conservation of biodiversity must continually generate not only spectacles of nature, but also spectacles of expert knowledge and management. Information itself is the new frontier of green capitalism, affirming a paradigm of perpetual growth.
Effect of cranial entry site on the rate of proximal catheter misplacement in ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion
Authors: Ebel Florian , Amstutz Salome , Wanderer Stefan , Unterhofer Michael , Toulany Nikan , Marbacher Serge , Soleman Jehuda 
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE
The insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is a common neurosurgical procedure, but the optimal entry site of the ventricular catheter is still under debate. In this study, the authors compare the parietal (Keen’s) and frontal (Kocher’s) entry sites in terms of the rate of revision surgery due to ventricular catheter misplacement, VPS dysfunction, and VPS infection.

METHODS
The authors retrospectively analyzed the data on consecutive adults (age ≥ 18 years) who had undergone primary VPS insertion between 2010 and 2020 at two neurosurgical centers. One center regularly inserts the ventricular catheter frontally (frontal group); the other center, parietally (parietal group). The primary outcome of interest was the rate of ventricular catheter misplacement necessitating revision surgery. Secondary outcomes were functional outcome as measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), rate of revision surgery for VPS dysfunction and infection, as well as early (≤ 30 days) and late (> 30 days) mortality rates. Propensity score matching was performed based on baseline variables, such as normal pressure hydrocephalus, postinfectious hydrocephalus, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which were identified as predictors of ventricular catheter misplacement using logistic regression analysis.

RESULTS
Among 539 consecutive patients, 301 (55.8%) were in the frontal group and 238 (44.2%) in the parietal group. Postoperative rates of revision surgery due to misplacement were comparable in the two catheter entry site groups (frontal 14 [4.7%] vs parietal 11 [4.6%], p = 0.987). Rates of revision surgery for VPS dysfunction (14 [4.7%] vs 10 [4.2%], respectively, p = 0.802) and infection (22 [7.3%] vs 10 [4.2%], p = 0.13) exhibited no significant differences. Favorable functional outcomes (mRS score ≤ 2; 164 [76.3%] vs 174 [79.5%], respectively, p = 0.058) and early mortality rates (5 [1.7%] vs 6 [2.5%], p = 0.483) were similar between the groups. After propensity score matching, the primary and secondary outcome measures remained comparable between the groups.

CONCLUSIONS
The entry site of the ventricular catheter in VPS surgery does not seem to affect proximal revision rates. Further, revision rates due to VPS dysfunction, VPS infection, and morbidity were comparable as well.

Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE
Despite widespread use, there is limited evidence to support postsurgical rehabilitation to enhance neurological recovery after surgery for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). Outcomes research for DCM seldom accounts for the effect of postsurgical rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to quantify the impact of postsurgical rehabilitation on outcomes after surgery for DCM.

METHODS
This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from a single center. The study enrolled 66 patients who underwent spinal surgery for DCM. In addition to patient demographic, imaging, and surgical data, chart review was performed to document the timing, type, duration, and outcomes of postsurgical rehabilitation therapy. Outcomes were collected prospectively, including the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) score, Neck Disability Index (NDI) score, and SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) score. Linear regression models were created to determine the independent effects of type and timing of postsurgical occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) on outcomes.

RESULTS
A total of 66 patients were included in the analysis. Multivariate regression analysis showed that postsurgical OT was associated with significantly greater improvement in 12-month SF-36 PCS scores (p = 0.009) and mJOA scores (p = 0.019). In the subset of patients who received therapy, delayed therapy (> 42 days after surgery) compared to early therapy (< 42 days after surgery) was associated with less improvement in SF-36 PCS scores (p = 0.03).

CONCLUSIONS
Postsurgical outpatient rehabilitation was independently associated with improved postsurgical outcomes within the 1st year after surgery for DCM, and early therapy (< 42 days) was associated with superior outcomes compared to delayed therapy. This is one of the first studies to use a prospective database to demonstrate an independent effect for postsurgical rehabilitation on outcomes after surgery for DCM.

OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to assess the safety of mapping spinal cord locomotor networks using penetrating stimulation microelectrodes in Yucatan minipigs (YMPs) as a clinically translational animal model.

METHODS
Eleven YMPs were trained to walk up and down a straight line. Motion capture was performed, and electromyographic (EMG) activity of hindlimb muscles was recorded during overground walking. The YMPs underwent a laminectomy and durotomy to expose the lumbar spinal cord. Using an ultrasound-guided stereotaxic frame, microelectrodes were inserted into the spinal cord in 8 animals. Pial cuts were made to prevent tissue dimpling before microelectrode insertion. Different locations within the lumbar enlargement were electrically stimulated to map the locomotor networks. The remaining 3 YMPs served as sham controls, receiving the laminectomy, durotomy, and pial cuts but not microelectrode insertion. The Porcine Thoracic Injury Behavioral Scale (PTIBS) and hindlimb reflex assessment results were recorded for 4 weeks postoperatively. Overground gait kinematics and hindlimb EMG activity were recorded again at weeks 3 and 4 postoperatively and compared with preoperative measures. The animals were euthanized at the end of week 4, and the lumbar spinal cords were extracted and preserved for immunohistochemical analysis.

RESULTS
All YMPs showed transient deficits in hindlimb function postoperatively. Except for 1 YMP in the experimental group, all animals regained normal ambulation and balance (PTIBS score 10) at the end of weeks 3 and 4. One animal in the experimental group showed gait and balance deficits by week 4 (PTIBS score 4). This animal was excluded from the kinematics and EMG analyses. Overground gait kinematic measures and EMG activity showed no significant (p > 0.05) differences between preoperative and postoperative values, and between the experimental and sham groups. Less than 5% of electrode tracks were visible in the tissue analysis of the animals in the experimental group. There was no statistically significant difference in damage caused by pial cuts between the experimental and sham groups. Tissue damage due to the pial cuts was more frequently observed in immunohistochemical analyses than microelectrode tracks.

CONCLUSIONS
These findings suggest that mapping spinal locomotor networks in porcine models can be performed safely, without lasting damage to the spinal cord.

OBJECTIVE
Increased adolescent sports participation has raised concerns about higher rates of concussions, a prevalent injury among young athletes with potential long-term effects. Discrepancies in concussion recovery and management protocols across various sports underscore a critical issue in youth athletics. This study aimed to examine the relationship between sport type and the number of games missed following a concussion to inform targeted management strategies.

METHODS
Data from 7445 postinjury ImPACT tests for athletes aged 12–22 years, collected from 2009 to 2019, were analyzed across different sports: baseball, basketball, cheerleading, football, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling. The number of days and normalized missed games (NMG), a metric accounting for the different number of games in a season for different sports, were used to evaluate the effect of concussions across different sports. ANOVA, t-tests, and linear regression analyses were performed to model the effect of sport type on games missed in a season while controlling for sex, age, concussion history, diagnosed learning disability (DLD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

RESULTS
Multivariable linear regression analysis demonstrated that football participation significantly increased NMG (β 1.681, 95% CI 0.807–2.554; p < 0.001) and days missed (β 1.637, 95% CI 1.044–2.231; p < 0.001) after head injury. Concussion diagnoses were also found to significantly increase NMG (β 2.344, 95% CI 1.629–3.059; p < 0.001) and days missed (β 1.560, 95% CI 1.074–2.045; p < 0.001), as well as history of prior concussion (NMG: β 7.791, 95% CI 7.368–8.215; p < 0.001; days missed: β 5.232, 95% CI 4.945–5.520; p < 0.001). In contrast, factors such as age, sex, DLD, ADHD, and concussions causing loss of consciousness did not significantly affect NMG or days missed. ANOVA with Tukey Honest Significant Difference indicated that compared with football, ice hockey (mean difference [MD] 5.4 days, p = 0.011) and track and field (MD 4.1 days, p = 0.006) were associated with significantly more days being missed after head injury. Conversely, basketball (MD −3.0, p < 0.001) and volleyball (MD −2.6, p = 0.005) were associated with fewer missed games.

CONCLUSIONS
Adolescents playing football missed fewer days and games after concussion than other contact and noncontact sports, including ice hockey and track and field, raising questions about variations in return-to-play protocols and cultural attitudes within sports. Further research is needed to determine the factors affecting games missed across sport types in adolescent athletics and return-to-play protocols.
