Authors: Sinan L. , Kokkinakis E. , Kumar C. Senthil 
Published: May 2024

IntroductionCheilectomy is a recommended procedure for the earlier stages of osteoarthritis of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint. Although good improvement in symptoms have been reported in many studies, the long term performance of this procedure is not well understood. It is thought that a significant number of patients go onto have arthrodesis or joint replacement. We report on a large cohort of patients who received this procedure and report on the complications and mid-term outcome.MethodsThis is a retrospective study looking at all patients who underwent cheilectomy for hallux rigidus between November 2007 and August 2018. Departmental database was used to access patient details and outcome measures recorded include: postoperative wound infection, patient reported improvement in pain and the incidence of further surgical interventions like revision cheilectomy and conversion to arthrodesis and arthroplasty. X-rays were studied using PACS to stage the osteoarthritis (Hattrup and Johnson classification).ResultsA total of 240 feet in 220 patients (20 bilateral surgeries) were included in the study, there were 164 Females (75%) and 56 Males (25%), the median age was 55 years (range 22–90 years). Radiological assessment showed 89 Stage 1 arthritis(42%), 105 Stage 2 (50%), 17 Stage 3 (8%) and 9 patients were excluded due to unavailable X-rays. 5 patients (2%) had superficial wound infection. There were 16 further surgeries (7%) performed in this cohort, 12 arthrodesis (5%), 3 revision cheilectomy and 1conversion to arthroplasty. 157 patients were found to be pain-free at the latest post-operative visit (77%), 48 reported minimal pain (23%), 15 patients were excluded due to unavailable data.ConclusionCheilectomy appears to produce good improvement in pain with a low complication rate. The rate of conversion to arthrodesis/arthroplasty is lower than in many reported studies.

Published: May 2024

BackgroundCorrective fusion of a deformed / unstable Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN)of the midfoot and hindfoot is performed with the aim to prevent ulcers and maintain patient mobility.MethodsBetween October 2007 and July 2018, 103 CN mid and hind foot corrections in 95 patients were performed. There were 34 hind-foot, 38 mid-foot and 31 combined hind and mid-foot surgeries. 83 feet had single stage corrections, whereas 20 required a staged operation.ResultsNinety-five patients were prospectively followed up. The mean patient age in our study was 57 years (21 – 85). Twenty-seven patients had type1 diabetes, 64 patients had type 2 and 4 patients had a neuropathy secondary to other conditions. Forty patients (42%) were offered a below knee amputation prior to attending our foot clinic. At a mean follow up of 56 months (12 – 140) we achieved 100% limb salvage with a 75% full bone fusion rate. There were 17 mortalities within our cohort at a mean period of 3 years. Ninety-seven percent (n=92) patients were mobilizing post-operatively in orthotic footwear. Fifty-two feet had pre-operative ulcers. Post-operatively 17 feet (16 patients) had persistent ulceration. Eight patients had ulcer resolution following further surgery and alteration of footwear, one patient has been listed for a below knee amputation for unstable non-union, whilst the remaining 7 patients have stable ulcers which are managed with dressings. Of the 26 feet (25 patients) with non-unions, 6 patients had revision fixation procedures whilst 8 patients required minor surgical procedures. The remaining 11 patients are stable non-unions who are asymptomatic and weight bearing. Other complications included a deep infection rate of 8% (n=7).ConclusionWe demonstrated a 100% limb salvage rate and an 83% success rate in ulcer resolution. We recommend this be done with the support of the multi-disciplinary team.

Published: May 2024

BackgroundThe use of a knotless TightRope for the stabilisation of a syndesmotic injury is a well-recognised mode of fixation. It has been described that the device can be inserted using a “closed” technique. This presents a risk of saphenous nerve entrapment and post-operative pain.AimWe aimed to establish the actual risk of injury to the Saphenous Nerve using a “closed” technique for the insertion of a TightRope.Method20 TightRopes were inserted into Fresh Frozen Cadavers. This was done using the senior authors preferred technique of divergent tightropes with the distal implant directed slightly anterior to the fibula-tibia axis and the proximal implant slightly posterior in order to simulate the greatest risk to the nerve. This was done under image Intensifier guidance to simulate an intraoperative environment. The medial side of the distal tibia was then dissected to directly record and measure the relationship of the TightRope to the Saphenous Nerve. Measurements were taken using digital calipers from the centre of the button on the medial side of the TightRope to the centre of the nerve at the point of closest proximity.Results12 TightRopes were found to exit posterior to the nerve, 7 anterior and 1 penetrated through the centre of the nerve. The mean distance from the centre of the button to the nerve was 6.99mm (range 0.72–14.52mm, standard deviation 4.33mm). In 9 of the 20 TightRopes, the nerve was found to be less than 5mm away.ConclusionOur findings demonstrated that the risks of damaging or indeed entrapping the Saphenous nerve were high, and therefore we would advocate an open incision on the medial side with judicious exploration to ensure there is no damage to the medial neurological structures.
Frequency tunable dual band graphene-silicon ceramic-based two-port THz radiator with circular polarization and high isolation features
Authors: Verma Asha , Sood Mamta , Shukla Neha , Koolwal Payal , Yadav Vijeta 
Published: May 2024

In this work, a two-port graphene-ceramic-based antenna is designed and discussed. Some
important features for the proposed two-port radiator are (a) the feed
layout produces dual radiating modes, i.e., HEM11δ and HEM12δ inside the ceramic at 2.6 and
5.2 THz, respectively; (b) the asymmetrical swastik-shaped
aperture creates the circularly polarized waves within dual operating
bands, i.e., 2.71–2.84 and 5.15–5.42 THz; (c) a
coating of graphene over ceramic makes the radiator frequency tunable
by varying its chemical potential; and (d) deep neural network (DNN)
and XGBoost-based machine learning (ML) algorithms are used to predict
the |S11| parameter of the designed antenna in
order to reduce the computational complexity. By comparing the
optimized outcome obtained from HFSS with the CST EM simulator and
predicted values from ML algorithms, it is verified that the designed
two-port radiator works in dual frequency bands, i.e., 2.4–3.2
and 5.0–5.43 THz. Stable values of MIMO, as well as the
far-field parameter, confirm the applicability of the designed antenna
for THz wireless applications.
Understanding the relationship between cerebellum and the frontal-cortex region of C9orf72-related amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A comparative analysis of genetic features
Authors: Prasad Kartikay , Hassan Md Imtaiyaz , Raghuvanshi Saurabh , Kumar Vijay 
Published: May 2024

Background
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relentlessly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative diseases for which at present no cure is available. Despite the extensive research the progress from diagnosis to prognosis in ALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) has been slow which represents suboptimal understanding of disease pathophysiological processes. In recent studies, several genes have been associated with the ALS and FTD diseases such as SOD1, TDP43, and TBK1, whereas the hexanucleotide GGGGCC repeat expansion (HRE) in C9orf72 gene is a most frequent cause of ALS and FTD, that has changed the understanding of these diseases.

Methods
The goal of this study was to identify and spatially determine differential gene expression signature differences between cerebellum and frontal cortex in C9orf72-associated ALS (C9-ALS), to study the network properties of these differentially expressed genes, and to identify miRNAs targeting the common differentially expressed genes in both the tissues. This study thus highlights underlying differential cell susceptibilities to the disease mechanisms in C9-ALS and suggesting therapeutic target selection in C9-ALS.

Results
In this manuscript, we have identified that the genes involved in neuron development, protein localization and transcription are mostly enriched in cerebellum of C9-ALS patients, while the UPR-related genes are enriched in the frontal cortex. Of note, UPR pathway genes were mostly dysregulated both in the C9-ALS cerebellum and frontal cortex. Overall, the data presented here show that defects in normal RNA processing and the UPR pathway are the pathological hallmarks of C9-ALS. Interestingly, the cerebellum showed more strong transcriptome changes than the frontal cortex.

Conclusion
Interestingly, the cerebellum region showed more significant transcriptomic changes as compared to the frontal cortex region suggesting its active participation in the disease process. This nuanced understanding may offer valuable insights for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating disease progression in C9-ALS.

Published: May 2024

Introduction
The global incidence of caesarean section (CS) deliveries has exceeded the recommended threshold set by the World Health Organization. This development is a matter of public health concern due to the cost involved and the potential health risk to the mother and the neonate. We sought to investigate the prevalence, indications, maternal and neonatal outcomes and determinants of CS in private health facilities in Ghana.

Method
A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from women who delivered at the Holy Family Hospital from January to February 2020 using descriptive and inferential statistics, with a significance level set at p<0.05.

Results
The prevalence of CS was 28.70%. The primary indications of C/S include previous C/S, foetal distress, breech presentation, pathological CTG and failed induction. Significant associations were found between CS and breech presentation (AOR = 4.60; 95%CI: 1.22–17.38) p<0.024, previous CS history (AOR = 51.72, 95% CI: 11.59–230.70) p<0.00, and neonates referred to NICU (AOR = 3.67, 95% CI: 2.10–6.42) p<0.00.

Conclusion
The prevalence of caesarean section (CS) deliveries was higher than the WHO-recommended threshold. Major indications for CS included previous CS, fetal distress, and failed induction. Significant risk factors for CS were previous CS history, breech presentation, and neonates referred to NICU.

Review on treatment of pleural metastasis and malignant pleural effusion with Pressurized IntraThoracic Aerosol Chemotherapy (PITAC)
Authors: Hansen Pernille Schjødt , Graversen Martin , Detlefsen Sönke , Mortensen Michael Bau 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common and debilitating condition seen in advanced cancer disease, and life-expectancy is short. Symptoms include pain and severe shortness of breath. Current first-line treatment options include pleural drainage using catheters as well as pleurodesis. However, these treatment modalities are often inefficient and patients need repeated procedures. Pressurized IntraThoracic Aerosol Chemotherapy (PITAC) is a minimally invasive procedure, where antineoplastic agents are nebulized under pressure into the pleural space.

Content
We present the preliminary safety, feasibility, and response assessment data for PITAC based on a comprehensive literature review.

Summary
Five retrospective studies reported data on 38 PITACs in 21 patients. Data were heterogeneous and incomplete on several important aspects such as procedure, safety, local effect and long-term outcomes. PITAC seems technically feasible with a low risk of complications and may provide some reduction in MPE in selected cases.

Outlook
PITAC seems feasible, but prospective phase I and II studies are needed to define safety, indications, and efficacy.
Ein polnisches «Phänomen» am preußischen Hof
Authors: Pufelska Agnieszka 
Published: May 2024

In der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde die «polnische Frage» zum Prüfstein des europäischen Gleichgewichts. Die russische Kaiserin Katharina II. hatte die Schiedsrichterrolle in Europa übernommen. Nach dem Siebenjährigen Krieg musste der preußische König Friedrich II. die russische Hegemonie in Polen bedingungslos akzeptieren. Den Beginn der preußisch-russischen Koalition markierte die polnische Königswahl von 1764. In diesem Jahr kam auch Katharinas ehemaliger Geliebter Stanisław August Poniatowski auf den polischen Thron. Russland und Preußen waren allerdings überrascht, als Teile des polnischen Adels 1768 eine Konföderation ausriefen, um den König vom Thron zu jagen und die russische Vormachtstellung zu beseitigen.
Ridge split technique and implant placement- A case report
Authors: Kamboj Ashish , Singh Sunil Kumar , Ghildiyal Chandni , Chopra SS , Angrish Paras 
Published: May 2024

: One of the key obstacles to successful implant placement is insufficient alveolar ridge width. To create a functional restoration that blends well with the surrounding natural dentition, augmenting inadequate alveolar ridges is a crucial component of dental implant therapy. Ridge-splitting techniques are used for the narrow edentulous ridge for implant placement with predictable outcomes in the maxilla than in the mandible.This case report describes a young female patient who underwent horizontal ridge augmentation using the ridge split technique in the esthetic maxillary central incisor area. This technique was used along with demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft with membrane for the implant placement.: While this surgical method can be used for either jaw, it is most appropriate for the maxilla. Augmenting inadequate alveolar ridges is therefore a crucial part of dental implant therapy to meet the ideal goals of implant dentistry, with the ultimate goal being the provision of a functional restoration that blends in harmoniously with the surrounding natural teeth.

Authors: Yuliana Rizkia 
Published: May 2024

Social facts are often found in society. Although, often people do not understand and are also aware of it. Social facts are coercive. In addition, the action has existed and been carried out since ancient times and is still being carried out today. Thus, in dealing with social facts, individuals must realize that is a rule or even an obligation that must be carried out and if not carried out, then the individual will receive punishment or even social rejection. Therefore, the aims of this thesis are (1) to find out what kinds of social facts exist in the novel The Girl from the Coast. Then, (2) to find out how the characters in The Girl from the Coast face the social facts. This thesis uses the Literary Criticism method with the Sociological approach. Then, in outline, this thesis uses the theory of social facts by Emile Durkheim. Thus, the results obtained are (1) Several forms of social facts in the novel The Girl from the Coast by Premoedya Ananta Toer; a) Material. From the material form, there are several forms of social facts found in the novel, such as marriage, work, Javanese culture, and Islamic sharia. b) Non-Material. For the non-material form, there is only one form found in the novel, that is egoism. (2) How the characters in The Girl from the Coast novel by Pramoedya Ananta Toer face the social facts by Emile Durkheim. Therefore, readers can make this novel as material for research using topics other than social facts, such as psychology of literature or other theories.

Abstrak :Pengadilan adalah fondasi hukum islam dan undang-undang yang berfungsi merealisasikan tujuan hukum yaitu meraih kebaikan dan menolak kerusakan. Islam memberi atensi besar terhadap bidang ini karena terdapat pengakuan dan penegasan terhadap peran yang sangat prinsipil dalam memakmurkan bumi sesuai kehendak Allah untuk kemaslahatan hidup umat manusia, alam dan kehidupan. Artikel ini bertujuan menjelaskan hal-hal berikut: (1) urgensi pengadilan dalam hukum islam (2) Kode Etik Hakim dalam islam (3) Model ideal para hakim dalam memutuskan perkara. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif analitis yang dalam mengumpulkan data menggunakan library research (penelitian kepustakaan) yang mengacu kepada hasil riset, kajian dan buku yang berkaitan dengan kajian ini. Kesimpulan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hakim adalah profesi mulia yang harus ada dalam struktur kelompok masyarakat, di samping itu merupakan profesi yang berwibawa karena posisi dan perannya yang sangat strategis dalam memutuskan kasus hukum. Karena itu dalam menjalankan tugasnya, hakim harus dilengkapi dengan kode etik yang bersumber dari sifat-sifat hakim itu sendiri yang tertuang dalam khazanah islam. Untuk memutuskan perkara secara adil maka seorang hakim dituntut untuk meneladani cara dan sifat para hakim terdahulu seperti para sahabat dalam memutuskan perkara.
