INTRODUCTION: Uncontrolled hypertension is one of the recognized risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) in young adults, commonly underestimated owing to the young age. A novel biomarker to improve CAD risk assessment and hypertension management should be identified for this cohort. Thus, we had conducted a study to investigate plasma concentration and the role of haptoglobin in young hypertensive adults in the establishment of premature acute myocardial infarction (AMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 120 male adults aged between 18 to 45 years enrolled into this cross-sectional study, divided into control, hypertensive, and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) groups. Blood samples were collected from all subjects, plasma concentrations of haptoglobin measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and other CAD risk factors including high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were analyzed. RESULTS: Plasma concentration of haptoglobin in the AMI group was the highest compared to hypertensive and control group (290.63±99.90 vs. 208.47±112.93 vs. 170.02±108.11 ng/ml, p<0.006). There was a significant association between AMI and plasma haptoglobin concentration in hypertensive subjects independent of other known CAD risk factors (OR: 0.985, 95% CI 0.973-0.997, p=0.017). There was positive correlation between plasma haptoglobin and hs-CRP (r=0.0370, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Plasma haptoglobin is a potential biomarker to identify young hypertensive adults who are at risk of developing CAD.

As reflexões ora apresentadas se inserem no contexto de uma Pesquisa Documental, em andamento,
que focaliza o direito à educação e os seus modos de efetivação na Educação Básica. Neste artigo, fazemos um recorte no que se refere ao direito à alfabetização inicial e ao letramento. O objetivo é compreender como tal direito é contemplado nos dispositivos que regulam o Ensino Fundamental e nos documentos que versam sobre as Políticas Educacionais direcionadas a tal temática. Com base na análise documental, é possível constatar que o direito à alfabetização inicial e ao letramento está positivado em todos os dispositivos que regulam a ação educativa no Ensino Fundamental de nove anos. Há descontinuidades nas Políticas Educacionais relativas ao direito à alfabetização e ao letramento; concepções distintas de alfabetização e de seu processo; e idades diferenciadas como meta para a alfabetização inicial. Apesar de todos os avanços em termos de dispositivos e Políticas implementadas a partir da promulgação da Constituição Federal, é possível constatar que a alfabetização inicial ainda se constitui um desafio, articulado à universalização da Educação Infantil e do Ensino Fundamental.

Capsule shells are generally made from gelatin. The gelatin that is spread in the world is commonly derived from pigs. This animal is forbidden to be consumed by Muslims. This issue is due to the halal aspect. Sago starch and sodium alginate are halal materials that are capable of gelatinizing. This property made it able to be molded as a capsule. This research aims to determine the formula of sago and sodium alginate as a capsule and the evaluation. Three formulas were made with the ratio of sago and sodium alginate 100%: 0% (formula 1), 50%: 50% (formula 2), and 0%: 100% (formula 3). The capsule was manually molded using a food-grade stainless steel capsule mold. The size of the capsule, weight uniformity, swelling, and disintegration time were determined for a physical evaluation. SLD was used to determine the best formula, and the validation was done using One-sample T-test. The evaluations of the capsule shell were found ranged as follows: the size specifications were 21-22 mm, the body diameter was 6.1-7.2 mm, the cap diameter was 13.6-13.8 mm, weight uniformity was 0.10-0.26 gram, the swelling test was 433-1583%, and the disintegration time was 10.20-14.43 minutes. The best formula based on the SLD of the experiment was formula 3, which are two parameters that met the requirements, i.e., swelling and disintegration time. The sago and sodium alginate were crosslinked, and the capsule was made. However, the performance dislike of gelatin capsules. Continued research shall be done to find the optimum formula and its characteristics for alternative material on halal capsules.

Acne is one of the dermatological diseases that often appears in adolescence to adulthood. Retinol (retinyl palmitate) is a first-generation vitamin A derivative used for acne therapy by reducing sebum production which can cause acne bacteria to grow. This study aims to determine the effectiveness and safety of oral and topical retinol preparations. The method used in the study is systematic review using the PubMed search engine and google scholar according to keywords using the PICO method. Articles that can be downloaded with a period of 2013-2023 for the next article are downloaded in selection according to the criteria, namely inclusion and exclusion. The results of the selection of inclusion criteria there are 12 journals to discuss the effectiveness and safety related to topical preparations and peroral retinol as anti-products acne. The mechanism of action of topical retinol is to reduce the production of micro-comedones caused by the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (P. acne) for oral retinol has the mechanism of action works by inhibiting the production of sebum by androgen hormones in the 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid oxidation pathway using the enzyme retinol dehydrogenase to retinaldehyde to be able to dissolve and be delivered at the destination. Oral or topical retinol preparations provide different side effects. Topical retinol has a lower rate of side effects compared to oral retinol. The level of safety and effectiveness of topical retinol preparations is better than oral retinol.

OBJECTIVE
The surgical approach to lesions near eloquent areas continues to represent a challenge for neurosurgeons, despite all of the sophisticated tools currently used. The goal of surgery in eloquent areas is to maintain a good oncofunctional balance, that is, to preserve neurological function and ensure maximum tumor resection. Among all the available tools, extended reality (used to describe both virtual reality [VR] and mixed reality) is rapidly gaining a pivotal role in such delicate lesions, especially in preoperative planning, and recently, even during the surgical procedure. VR creates a completely new world in which only digital components are present. Augmented reality (AR), using software and hardware to introduce digital elements into the real-world environment, enhances the human experience. In addition, mixed reality, a more recent technique, combines VR and AR by projecting virtual objects into the real world, allowing the user to interact with them.

METHODS
A systematic literature review of the last 23.5 years was conducted (January 2000–June 2023) to investigate and discuss all progress related to the emerging role and use of these new technologies (VR, AR, and mixed reality), particularly in eloquent area lesions as a pre- and/or intraoperative tool.

RESULTS
Five hundred eighty-four published studies were identified. After removing duplicates and excluding articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria, 21 papers were included in the systematic review. The use of AR or VR was fully analyzed, considering their roles both intraoperatively and for surgical planning.

CONCLUSIONS
The increasing use of such innovative technologies has completely changed the way to approach a lesion, using 3D visualization to foster a better understanding of its anatomical and vascular characteristics.
Can exoscope improve brain AVMs surgery?
Authors: Tola Serena , Capelli Federico , Della Puppa Alessandro 
Published: January 2024

The advantages of the surgical view provided by the exoscope have been described before, although reports of its application to brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) surgery are lacking. The ampler field of view and magnification up to ×24 allow for enhanced visualization during microsurgical procedures. Furthermore, the live visualization provided by indocyanine green video angiography (ICG-VA) helps emphasize the hemodynamics of AVMs, even allowing the detection of possible residual vein arterialization as an indirect expression of nidal remnants. With this illustrative video showing the resection of a hemorrhagic right frontoinsular Spetzler-Martin grade III AVM, the authors describe the technical implications of exoscope brain AVM surgery using the Olympus ORBEYE 4K-3D, with a final focus on ICG-VA as an asset.

Overcoming the challenge of a thin skull in a 2-year-old patient undergoing laser interstitial thermal therapy using an individualized stereotactic platform: illustrative case
Authors: Lau Spencer , Menousek Joseph , Pistone Tyler , Klugh Arnett , Salehi Afshin 
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND
Ependymoma is the third most common pediatric brain tumor that can present with headaches, cranial nerve deficits, nausea, vomiting, and ataxia. Current treatment is maximal safe resection followed by radiation therapy. More recently, laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) has become an alternative to traditional resection. In this report, the authors describe the utilization of a single-use, patient-specific stereotactic platform for the treatment of supratentorial ependymoma with LITT.

OBSERVATIONS
A 2-year-old female had a complex history of supratentorial ependymoma after multiple craniotomies for repeated tumor progression and ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement. Imaging demonstrated an enlarging, complex, enhancing mass in the right occipital region. LITT was decided on for treatment. Given the thinness of the patient’s skull, which precluded traditional means of stereotaxy, the authors elected to use a personalized stereotactic platform. Immediate postoperative imaging captured complete laser ablation of the tumor, with long-term imaging demonstrating a decreased tumor size.

LESSONS
Individualized stereotactic platforms are increasingly used in adult populations, but pediatric use continues to be infrequent. In this report, the authors present the youngest reported case using a personalized stereotactic platform and show the effectiveness of this system for performing LITT in the youngest of populations with very thin skulls.
Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma: primary intracranial lesion with thoracic spine metastasis and a malignant course. Illustrative case
Authors: Demand Audrey , Barber Sean , Powell Suzanne , Britz Gavin 
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND
Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is an exceptionally rare soft tissue neoplasm. This tumor primarily presents as a benign soft tissue lesion in children with an average age of 14 years. The standard treatment regimen is wide local excision with interval follow-up. However, newer reports have demonstrated malignant potential with the possibility of intracranial metastasis.

OBSERVATIONS
A 45-year-old male with no soft tissue primary tumor presented with a primary intracranial lesion and thoracic spine metastasis refractory to chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

LESSONS
This report illustrates the potential for a highly malignant nature of metastatic AFH. In addition, the authors demonstrate an incidence of AFH in a middle-aged male without a primary soft tissue or skin lesion. This report highlights the importance of prompt treatment and excision for AFH, as there is still little understanding of successful options for systemic therapy.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND
A migrating spinal tumor is a rare phenomenon in the medical literature. Efficient management of these tumors is critical to avoid extended laminectomies.

OBSERVATIONS
In this article, the authors present the case of a patient with a migrating lumbar schwannoma. They summarize a literature review of similar cases, highlighting the intraoperative challenges faced, and provide management guidelines for similar cases from their experience.

LESSONS
Surgeons dealing with spinal intradural extramedullary lesions should always consider the possibility of tumor migration. Routine preoperative counseling regarding potential tumor migration and its efficient management is essential, as it reduces the risk of unplanned extensive laminectomy or durotomy, minimizing morbidity and medicolegal concerns and enhancing patient care.

Authors: Andayani Reni , Umari Zuul Fitriana 
Published: January 2024

Pelabuhan Tanjung Api-api berada di muara Sungai Musi Kabupaten Banyuasin berbatasan dengan Selat Bangka dan memiliki luas lahan 8 (delapan) hektar. Pelabuhan Tanjung Api-Api merupakan pelabuhan regional yang menghubungkan Provinsi Sumatera Selatan dengan Provinsi Bangka Belitung yaitu dengan Pelabuhan Tanjung Kalian Bangka. Pelabuhan Tanjung Api-api yang berada di muara sungai dan tidak memiliki breakwater menyebabkan tingginya sedimentasi yang terlihat jelas pada dermaga dan kolam putar. Hal ini menyebabkan terjadinya kesulitan kapal untuk melakukan manuver dan waktu kapal untuk bersandar juga menjadi tidak efisien. Pelabuhan Tanjung Api-api juga belum melakukan pengerukan, terutama karena tidak diketahui secara pasti jumlah atau total sedimen. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui total sedimen berupa kadar suspended load (sedimen layang) dan bed load (sedimen dasar) di Pelabuhan Tanjung Api-api dengan metode Frijlink. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan dengan pengambilan sampel suspended load (sedimen layang) pada permukaan, didapatkan kadar sedimen layang sebesar 1,157.10-13 m3/det. Sampel bed load (sedimen dasar) diambil pada kedalaman 2,5 meter, kemudian dilakukan analisis laboratorium untuk mendapatkan berat jenis dan diameter lolos butir. Dari perhitungan dengan Metode Frijlink didapatkan debit sedimen dasar dan total sedimen sebesar 0,00156 m3/s/m dan volume timbunan dalam setahun sebesar 140.799.854 m3 (bulk).
