Abstract

Objectives:
This study aimed to determine the opinions and practices of Saudi otolaryngologists’ regarding the indications, contraindications, and timing of septoplasty in pediatric patients.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study between November 2022 and April 2023; administered an online self-reported questionnaire to evaluate the level of knowledge, perceptions, and practice of pediatric septoplasty among Saudi otolaryngologists.

Results:
We included 103 otolaryngologists from different regions of Saudi Arabia, approximately half of whom were from the central region. Forty-six physicians (44.7%) reported performing pediatric septoplasty. The others reported not performing it because it may affect the nasal and facial growth plates (n = 38, 21.7%), or they did not feel that clinical data show the benefits compared to the risks of the procedure (n = 18, 10.3%); 11 physicians (6.3%) reported that they were not interested in pediatric septoplasty. Seven physicians (4%) reported that they believe children grow out of their septal deviation.

Conclusion:
The results show that approximately half of the physicians performed pediatric septoplasty, with sleep-disordered breathing and nasal obstruction being the most common indications. Others cited concerns about the potential negative effects on nasal and facial growth plates or a lack of clinical data showing the benefits compared to the risks.

Abstract

Background:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disease that causes a person to consciously breathe and have episodes during sleep in which airflow either completely stops or significantly slows down. The epidemiology and awareness of this disease is understudied in our region. In the present study, we aimed to examine the knowledge and awareness of OSA among the general population of the Southwestern region of Saudi Arabia.

Methods:
In this cross-sectional survey, which was carried out from March to November 2022, data were collected from the adult population of the Jazan region using a self-administered questionnaire and presented as frequencies and percentages for categorical variables. Descriptive analysis, t-test, and Chi-square test were used for analysis. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.

Results:
The number of participants in the study was 523, of which 30% were aware of OSA. Poor knowledge was reported among the participants regarding the complications of OSA, and some participants identified that stroke (38%), diabetes (13.4%), dementia (10.3%), and myocardial infarction (30%) are complications of OSA. Those between 18 and 29 years were most aware of OSA, and males’ knowledge was better than that of females.

Conclusion
About 40% of the included participants were aware of OSA, and most had poor knowledge. We found that most people have no reliable sources of information, and medical professionals need to put more effort toward raising people’s awareness of OSA. Further studies with a larger population are required to evaluate OSA’s awareness level.
Immune checkpoint monoclonal antibody-related adverse effects in neuro-ophthalmology
Authors: Ameri May , Al-Zubidi Nagham , Lee Andrew G. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract:
Immunotherapy has renovated the field of oncology. Usually, cancer is treated by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Immunotherapy is a promising treatment that harnesses the patient’s own immune system to target cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have proven to be a promising treatment avenue for managing cancer; however, their use had been associated with a unique spectrum of adverse side effects called immune-related adverse events (irAEs). As ICIs become increasingly relevant in cancer management, it is crucial to address these irAEs affecting various systems in the body, including the skin, liver, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, and the eye. Ocular toxicity and sight-threatening events are among the reported irAEs, impacting diverse ocular tissues. The most commonly reported ocular irAEs (OirAEs) are blurred vision, conjunctivitis, ocular surface disease uveitis, scleritis, and retinopathy. Nevertheless, the frequency and severity of these OirAEs can vary, even within the same class of ICIs. Thus, OirAEs can significantly impact the quality of life and patient compliance. Therefore, we aim to comprehensively analyze uncommon and severe ICI-related OirAEs associated with lung cancer by providing a comprehensive and updated review of immune checkpoint monoclonal antibody-related adverse effects in neuro-ophthalmology irAEs. Through a review of the relevant literature, we intend to illustrate the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, contributory factors, diagnosis, and management of ICI-associated ocular side effects. We will also discuss guidelines and best practice strategies for the prevention, monitoring, and management of these OirAEs.
Large-diameter deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty: A narrative review
Authors: Yu Angeli Christy , Sollazzo Andrea , Bovone Cristina , Busin Massimo 
Published: February 2024

Abstract:
Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) involves the selective replacement of diseased corneal stroma while preserving healthy unaffected endothelium. While DALK has failed to gain widespread popularity, improved visual and refractive outcomes of large-diameter grafts, which patients directly perceive following suture removal, may represent a compelling reason to shift toward DALK. Since the unaffected host endothelium is retained, DALK offers the opportunity to use large-diameter grafts, which reliably achieves maximum visual potential without an increased risk of immune-mediated stromal rejection. In this narrative review, we evaluate the current evidence on large-diameter DALK including surgical technique and clinical outcomes.

Published: February 2024

Abstract:
Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) has emerged as a transformative approach in managing corneal pathologies, notably keratoconus (KC), providing a viable alternative to penetrating keratoplasty (PK). This systematic review explores the intricacies of DALK, comparing its preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations with PK. Extensive literature searches revealed a wealth of data regarding DALK’s advantages and challenges, with an emphasis on graft survival, visual outcomes, and complications. In the preoperative phase, DALK showcases its versatility, catering to a wide spectrum of patients, including those with KC and ocular surface disorders. Intraoperatively, it offers innovative techniques to address emphysema, bubble formation, and Descemet’s membrane perforation, all while maintaining a strong focus on patient-centered outcomes. Postoperatively, DALK’s lower rejection rates and decreased complications underscore its potential superiority over PK, although unique challenges such as graft failure from nonimmunologic factors demand vigilant management. This comprehensive review not only serves as a valuable resource for ophthalmic surgeons but also sheds light on the evolving landscape of corneal transplantation, highlighting DALK’s role as a transformative force in the field.
Hochschild homology of reductive $p$-adic groups
Authors: Solleveld Maarten 
Published: February 2024

Consider a reductive

p

-adic group

G

, its (complex-valued) Hecke algebra

\mathcal H (G)

, and the Harish-Chandra–Schwartz algebra

\mathcal S (G)

. We compute the Hochschild homology groups of

\mathcal H (G)

and of

\mathcal S (G)

, and we describe the outcomes in several ways. Our main tools are algebraic families of smooth

G

-representations. With those we construct maps from

HH_{n} (\mathcal H (G))

and

HH_{n} (\mathcal S(G))

to modules of differential

n

-forms on affine varieties. For

n = 0

, this provides a description of the cocentres of these algebras in terms of nice linear functions on the Grothendieck group of finite length (tempered)

G

-representations. It is known from [J. Algebra 606 (2022), 371–470] that every Bernstein ideal

\mathcal H (G)^{\mathfrak s}

of

\mathcal H (G)

is closely related to a crossed product algebra of the form

\mathcal O (T)\rtimes W

. Here

\mathcal O (T)

denotes the regular functions on the variety

T

of unramified characters of a Levi subgroup

L

of

G

, and

W

is a finite group acting on

T

. We make this relation even stronger by establishing an isomorphism between

HH_{*} (\mathcal H (G)^{\mathfrak s})

and

HH_{*} (\mathcal O (T)\rtimes W)

, although we have to say that in some cases it is necessary to twist

\mathbb{C} [W]

by a 2-cocycle. Similarly, we prove that the Hochschild homology of the two-sided ideal

\mathcal S (G)^{\mathfrak s}

of

\mathcal S (G)

is isomorphic to

HH_{*} (C^{\infty} (T_{u})\rtimes W)

, where

T_{u}

denotes the Lie group of unitary unramified characters of

L

. In these pictures of

HH_{*} (\mathcal H (G))

and

HH_{*} (\mathcal S (G))

, we also show how the Bernstein centre of

\mathcal H (G)

acts. Finally, we derive similar expressions for the (periodic) cyclic homology groups of

\mathcal H (G)

and of

\mathcal S (G)

and we relate that to topological K-theory.

A Compact THz Photometer for Solar Flare Burst Studies from Space
Authors: Sumesh M. A. , Karanth S. P.  , Sriram K. V. 
Published: February 2024

Recent solar flare observations reveal the presence of THz components having a few orders of magnitude higher amplitude than the radio frequency and microwave radiations in the solar flare spectrum. This feature makes it remarkably beneficial for the detection of solar flares of low magnitudes such as Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Class C, and M flares. Hence, space agencies including National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and European Space Agency (ESA) are gearing up with THz instruments for solar flare observations. In line with this, Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems has completed the development of a photometer that operates in continuum THz band, from 1.5 to 15 THz. The entire electro-opto-mechanical design was carried out to realize a compact, light-weight, and power-efficient photometer to meet the size, mass, and power constraints posed by inherent resource limitations of experimental satellite platforms such as Nanosatellite, Microsatellite, and Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle's 4th Stage Orbital Platform (PS4-OP). A Cassegrain optical configuration was designed to collect the sun radiation with an aperture effective area of 0.0027 m2 with ceramic low-pass filters and resonant mesh filter for selective perception of THz radiation, rejecting the huge background of visible and near infrared with a spectral selectivity of 107:1. Sensitivity of the photometer was estimated to be 41.5 K/mV in 1.5–15 THz band by calibration using a blackbody radiation source. The radiometric resolution of the payload is 125 solar flux unit (SFU) (1 SFU = 1 × 10−22 Wm−2 Hz−1 ). The payload was successfully developed and space-qualified for its deployment in Nanosatellite or PS4-OP platform.

Longitudinal Association of Health Satisfaction With Functional Status and Income Satisfaction in Stroke Survivors
Authors: Nam Sanghun , Reistetter Timothy A. , Hong Ickpyo 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Importance: Although cross-sectional studies have reported the relationships among performance of activities of daily living (ADLs), income satisfaction, and health satisfaction, longitudinal associations in stroke survivors remain unclear.
Objective: To examine the effects of ADL function and income satisfaction on health satisfaction over time in stroke survivors.
Design: Retrospective longitudinal study designs with latent growth curve models (LGMs) to control for time-varying and time-invariant covariates.
Setting: Community.
Participants: A total of 198 stroke survivors.
Outcomes and Measures: Self-reported ADL performance, income satisfaction, and health satisfaction.
Results: The average age of participants was 70.68 yr (SD = 8.09; 107 men, 91 women). Each LGM showed that an increase in ADL score (standardized β = 0.116∼0.296, all ps &lt; .05) and income satisfaction (standardized β = 0.513∼0.726, all ps &lt; .001) positively predicted health satisfaction over time, even after controlling for time-varying annual income, demographics, and behavioral characteristics. The fit results of all LGMs were within the acceptable range: χ2(47) = 66.378, p = .0327; χ2(47) = 57.742, p = .1355; root-mean-square error of approximation, &lt;0.08; comparative fit index and Tucker–Lewis index, &gt;0.90; standardized root-mean-square residual, &lt;0.05.
Conclusions and Relevance: Because ADLs are significant modifiable health satisfaction factors, occupational therapy practitioners would need to focus more closely on ADL training in clinical settings. Furthermore, referring those clients to appropriate vocational rehabilitation to improve their income satisfaction would be necessary.
Plain-Language Summary: This study recognizes the unique challenges and opportunities that arise when stroke survivors are preparing to return to their communities by emphasizing the significance of ADL training and income satisfaction during this stage of recovery. The study suggests that the therapeutic use of ADL training and income satisfaction could increase health satisfaction for stroke survivors. Therefore, comprehensive ADL training, as an occupational therapy intervention, could be crucial for stroke survivors who are preparing to return to their community from a clinical setting. Furthermore, connecting with vocational rehabilitation could also be important for improving income satisfaction for stroke survivors who are preparing to return to a community.
