Authors: Abbas Sherif M. , Mohamed Ahmed O. , Khedr Hisham S. , Tawadros Pierre Z. 
Published: February 2025

Aim
Novel chest wall blocks were developed as the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and retrolaminar block (RLB) to overcome postthoracotomy pain. The current study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of combined RLB and ESPB versus ESPB alone for pain management following thoracotomy.

Settings and design
This randomized, double-blinded, parallel-group clinical trial was conducted at the university hospital.

Patients and methods
A total of 32 patients were enrolled in this study and were randomly assigned into two groups (16 patients each). The intervention group (ESPB/RLB) received preoperative ESPB using 10 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% plus RLB using 10 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% on the operated side, while the control group received preoperative ESPB only using 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% on the same side of the operation.

Results
The two groups showed no significant difference regarding pain, opioid consumption, hemodynamics, or time to first analgesic request.

Conclusions
The combination of ESPB and RLB did not demonstrate a superior analgesic effect for postthoracotomy pain compared with ESPB alone. However, it did result in a slightly lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and hypotension.

Background
Fistulotomy performed for a complex anal fistula carries a high risk of injury to the anal sphincter which can lead to incontinence. Therefore, many surgeons prefer to preserve muscle tone during this surgery. This study aims to compare the effect of caudal epidural block analgesia versus opioid analgesia for complex anal fistula surgeries.

Patients and methods
This is a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial conducted in the uni-centre teaching hospital.
Adult patients aged 18–60 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I–II, with complex anal fistula were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: the caudal group (n=17) and the control group (n=13). The primary outcome of this study was the time to first request rescue postoperative analgesia

Results
The mean time to first request of rescue postoperative analgesia was longer in the caudal group compared with the control group (18.5±5.5 vs. 1.7±2.45 h; P<0.001. The caudal group had lower total consumption of intraoperative fentanyl and postoperative morphine consumption compared with the control group. The time for first ambulation, time for first urination, and Digital Rectal Examination Scoring System score were comparable between the two study groups.

Conclusions
In complex anal fistula surgery, supplementing general anesthesia with caudal block provides better pain control and less incidence of nausea and vomiting than standard care, without affecting the anal tone.

Abstract. Declining seawater pH, associated with rising atmospheric CO2 levels, adversely affects marine organisms and ecosystems, thereby posing a considerable risk to coastal fisheries and economies. However, the effects of long-term pH variations in coastal waters remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the variability in pH in the coastal waters of Korea over an 11-year period (2010–2020) and sought to identify the principal drivers of pH fluctuations. Unlike the persistent pH declines observed in the open oceans and other coastal systems, Korean coastal waters showed no persistent pH variation, thus indicating that local biogeochemical processes may have a greater influence than atmospheric CO2 in determining aquatic pH. Analysis of environmental data including temperature, salinity, chlorophyll a, and dissolved oxygen (DO) revealed a strong correlation between pH and DO. However, instances of pH changes exceeding those predicted by DO depletion alone indicate the influence of additional biogeochemical factors. As global seawaters warm, reduction in DO is anticipated to cause a further decline in the pH of coastal waters. This trend could have a pronounced influence on Korean coastal waters, which support extensive aquaculture operations integral to the local and national economies. Consequently, high-frequency monitoring is essential for extending the current time series and predicting future water quality.

Auditors should continue to improve their understanding of audit philosophy to be able to carry out their duties more objectively, professionally, and independently, in order to create more accurate and trustworthy audit results. The audit cycle must be carried out carefully and structured. Auditors are expected to focus more on every stage of the audit cycle, from planning to reporting, to ensure that the audit process runs effectively and efficiently. In carrying out their duties, auditors need to pay more attention to auditing norms and codes of ethics in order to maintain their professional standards and maintain public trust in the audit process carried out. Therefore, auditors need to always prioritize their integrity and independence. A more in-depth and detailed audit plan will reduce the risk of non-conformities or omissions in the implementation of the audit. Therefore, each auditor must be more thorough in preparing a mature audit plan in accordance with the complexity and objectives of the audit faced. Auditors should pay attention to the importance of audit working papers as evidence that supports every step in the audit process. The working paper must be prepared carefully, clearly, and completely so that it can be used as a strong reference in compiling audit reports. Auditors should be more transparent and firm in formulating audit opinions, by always ensuring that the opinions provided are based on strong and sufficient evidence, and can be properly accounted for. The audit report must be prepared clearly, completely, and in accordance with applicable standards. Auditors need to ensure that the audit report is understandable to stakeholders and provides enough information for informed decision-making.

Background: Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy of childhood. The majority of cases are seen in children aged <5 years. The incidence of retinoblastoma is approximately 1 in 15,000 to 20,000 live births worldwide. Unfortunately, more than 3000 children die of retinoblastoma every year, with mortality rates being significantly higher in Asia and Africa.
Objective was to determine frequency of high risk histological features in primary enucleated eye specimens having retinoblastoma for deciding therapeutic strategies. This cross-sectional study, conducted at the Histopathology department of Foundation University Medical College in Rawalpindi, aimed to determine the frequency of high-risk histological features in primary enucleated eye specimens with retinoblastoma to inform therapeutic strategies. Over a year, from September 25, 2019, to September 24, 2020. Methods: After approval from ethical review board, all patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. All the demographic details of the patients including age, gender, duration since the diagnosis and family history of retinoblastoma were obtained. The specimens of retinoblastoma received form eye department were marked. Freshly cut 3-5 microns thick sections stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H & E) were examined microscopically by a team of two histopathologists. The presence or absence of high risk histological features was reported /recorded in the designed proforma. Results: A total of 150 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was found to be 2.51 ± 1.30 years. The gender distribution showed that most of the patients were males. The mean duration since diagnosis was 4.70 ± 2.81 months. Positive choroid invasion was found in 25 patients (16.7%) and optic nerve invasion was found in 77 patients (51.3%). Conclusion: The study showed that optic nerve invasion was found in significant number of patients and was more prevalent than choroid invasion in patients with retinoblastoma. This will help our clinicians to better guide our patients regarding the prognosis of the disease and deciding the treatment options for the patients.

Introdução: Durante a pandemia causada pela COVID-19, profissionais da área da saúde, que estavam na linha de frente do cuidado, foram os mais impactados. Representaram até 20% da população infectada no Brasil, e aproximadamente 15% apresentaram sintomatologia grave (Kowalski et al, 2020).De acordo com dados de Office National Statistics (ONS) (ONS,2021), há indicativos que as condições pós-COVID são mais frequentes em pessoas de meia-idade (35 a 69 anos), e que os sintomas impactaram de maneira negativa o dia a dia de muitos dos afetados. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado Inquérito Telefônico em profissionais da área da saúde, residentes do município de Ponta Grossa, Paraná, que tiveram COVID-19 no período de janeiro de 2020 a dezembro de 2021. Os participantes da pesquisa responderam aos questionamentos sobre: limitações para as atividades habituais que realizava antes da COVID-19 e quais atividades do dia-a-dia sentiam mais dificuldade de realizar depois da fase aguda da COVID-19. Resultados:Participaram do estudo 165 profissionais da saúde. Os trabalhadores da saúde apresentaram condições pós COVID em ambas as faixas etárias estudadas, sendo menos frequente na população <=30 anos (21.8%) e mais elevada entre os >30 anos (78.18%). Discussão:Os resultados principais deste estudo sugerem que trabalhadores da área da saúde de meia idade apresentam mais limitações comparado aos jovens adultos no pós-COVID.Conclusão:Conclui-se que os profissionais da área da saúde maiores de 30 anos tendem a desenvolver maiores limitações de vida diária na COVID Longa, quando comparados aos indivíduos menores de 30 anos.

Published: February 2025

To reduce the accumulation of coal gangue and steel slag, a mixture of lime-steel slag-coal gangue for pavement base was prepared. Six groups of lime-steel slag-coal gangue mixtures were designed using a uniform design method. The 7 d unconfined compressive strength, 180 d compressive resilience modulus and 180 d splitting tensile strength tests, the freeze-thaw cycles, and the wet and dry cycles were carried out to study the mechanical properties, frost resistance and water stability. The expansion effect of f-CaO in steel slag on the mixtures was investigated by water immersion. SEM was used to explore microscopic changes in the mixtures. The field application of coal gangue mixture was carried out for two years. The results show that the regression equations obtained by the uniform test have high accuracy. With the increase of lime in the mixture, the mechanical strength, frost resistance, and water stability of the mixtures were first enhanced and then decreased. With the increase of steel slag, the unconfined compressive strength increased, the compressive resilience modulus increased at first and then decreased, the splitting tensile strength decreased, the BDR value decreased, and the strength loss of water stability increased gradually. The internal structure of the mixtures is stable and has good frost resistance. There is no obvious microscopical difference before and after freeze-thaw cycles. The immersion expansion rate of the mixtures was far less than 1.5 %.
Anglo-Dutch Literary Relations in the First Quarter of the 16th Century: Jan van Doesborch’s Publishing Policy
Authors: Franssen Peter J A 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter discusses one of the earliest printers whose business model was predicated on publishing in multiple languages: Jan van Doesborch (d. 1536) was based in Antwerp for most of his life, but also spent a few years in London. His connections with English printers can be evidenced by the matter he printed, including translations from Dutch into English and ones from English into Dutch, and by woodcut illustrations recycled by English printers. Both types of evidence point to the transnationalism of Doesborch’s business operations: he was the Elsevier of the early 16th century.
Nodal sets and continuity of eigenfunctions of Krein-Feller operators
Authors: Ngai Sze-Man , Zhang Meng-Ke , Zhao Wen-Quan 
Published: February 2025

Let \(\mu\) be a compactly supported positive finite Borel measure on \(\mathbb{R}^d\). Let \(0<\lambda_1\leq\lambda_2\leq\cdots\) be eigenvalues of the Krein-Feller operator \(\Delta_{\mu}\). We prove that, on a bounded domain, the nodal set of a continuous \(\lambda_n\)-eigenfunction of a Krein-Feller operator divides the domain into at least 2 and at most \(n+r_n-1\) subdomains, where \(r_n\) is the multiplicity of \(\lambda_n\). This work generalizes the nodal set theorem of the classical Laplace operator to Krein-Feller operators on bounded domains. We also prove that on bounded domains on which the classical Green function exists, the eigenfunctions of a Krein-Feller operator are continuous.
