PURPOSE
To analyze survival and its predictors among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in Ethiopia.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
We conducted a retrospective cohort study among patients who received TACE for HCC at MCM Hospital from December 1, 2016, to December 31, 2022. Data were extracted from patients' medical records, and vital status was ascertained from the patients' charts or by phone call to the next of kin. We used Kaplan-Meier estimator to determine survival functions and log-rank test to compare the survival functions in different groups. Predictors of survival were identified using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model as expressed by adjusted hazard ratio (aHR).

RESULTS
Of the total 257 patients included in the study, 68.9% were male, with a mean age of 56.5 (±14.06) years, and 86% were diagnosed at the advanced stage of the cancer (Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer-C). The median overall survival was 12.7 months (95% CI, 10.57 to 14.85), and the overall survival rate at 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, and 6 years was found to be 58.0% (95% CI, 51.8% to 63.8%), 24.1% (95% CI, 19.1% to 29.6%), 8.2% (95% CI, 5.1% to 11.7%), 7.0% (95% CI, 3.9% to 10.1%), 1.6% (95% CI, 0.4% to 3.1%), and 1.2% (95% CI, 0.1% to 2.7%), respectively. The probability of death was significantly increased by alpha-fetoprotein level <400 ng/mL (aHR, 5.72 [95% CI, 1.52 to 21.51]), albumin level (aHR, 5.03 [95% CI, 1.41 to 18.01]), and bilobar distribution (aHR, 5.67 [95% CI, 1.40 to 23.04]).

CONCLUSION
The findings of the study underscore the need for the expansion of preventive measures and treatment facilities to address the overwhelming burden of HCC in Ethiopia.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Neurosurgery is a world leader in disseminating neurosurgical science. Although the literature has seen significant increases in academic collaboration, data science, and authorship diversity, the bibliometric evolution of Neurosurgery remains unknown. This study sought to elucidate bibliometric trends in Neurosurgery from 1977 to 2023.

METHODS:
Wolters Kluwer and Web of Science were used to identify all publications in Neurosurgery from 1977 to 2023. Database utilization was analyzed from 2007 to 2023 using abstract keywords. The BERTopic tool analyzed prevailing subspecialty themes. Publication types including clinical/case report/review were analyzed. Statistical analysis included exponential and linear regression.

RESULTS:
From 1977 to 2023, 29 755 publications containing 127 171 authors were published in Neurosurgery. From 1977 to 2023, the mean authorship count per publication exponentially increased (2.4 to 8.4, 2.0% annually) (R
2 = 0.76), small authorship groups (≤ 5 authors) linearly decreased (90% to 37%) (R = 0.93), multinational authorship groups linearly increased (0% to 21.2%) (R = 0.95), and authorship affiliations per publication exponentially increased (1.3 to 4.6, 3.2% annually) (R
2 = 0.65). From 1990 to 2023, female first authorship linearly increased (7.5% to 15.7%) (R = 0.93), Bachelor degree first authorship increased (0.6% to 12.5%), and MD/PhD senior authorship increased (6.2% to 24.7%), with more review articles and less case reports. Cerebrovascular topics dominated from 1980 to 2020, with spine topics most represented in the 2020s. Database utilization demonstrated an exponential, 4.6-fold increase from 2007 (0.38%) to 2023 (2.14%) (R = 0.63).

CONCLUSION:

Neurosurgery publications have demonstrated increasing authorship counts, authorship diversity, collaboration, and database utilization since the journal's 1977 inception, prominently publishing on topics in cerebrovascular and spine research.

Authors: Białokur Marek , Maresz Teresa 
Published: January 2025

Polscy parlamentarzyści w 2020 roku przyjęli ustawę o ustanowieniu Dnia Nauki Polskiej. Dwa lata później, w 2022 roku, Senat RP patronem 2023 ustanowił wybitnego astronoma Mikołaja Kopernika. Wskazuje to, że Parlament Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej ma w polskim porządku prawnym określone funkcje i uprawnienia. Funkcja ustawodawcza, a więc uchwalanie ustaw i uchwał, pozwala na określanie podstawowych kierunków działalności państwa. Funkcja kreacyjna polega na bezpośrednim powoływaniu i odwoływaniu organów konstytucyjnych państwa oraz osób, które wchodzą w skład tych organów. Trzecia z funkcji sprowadza się do kontroli działań władzy wykonawczej. Mając na względzie te powszechnie znane fakty, autorzy artykułu postanowili zwrócić uwagę, na istotną ich zdaniem ich, choć formalnie nie określoną, to jednak ważną funkcję kształtująco-wychowawczą. Znajduje ona wyraz w wielu działach posłów i senatorów. W odniesieniu do upamiętniania ważnych w dziejach narodu i państwa polskiego postaci, wydarzeń i idei, w sposób szczególny, w corocznych wyróżnieniach podejmowanych okolicznościowo w drodze uchwał. Zgodnie z tymi uchwałami ustanawiany jest patron danego roku. W 2023, obok kilkunastu innych wybitnych postaci, jest nim Mikołaj Kopernik. Przedstawienie okoliczności przyjęcia tej uchwały, tj. procesu legislacyjnego oraz syntetyczna analiza filologiczna i statystyczna podjętych w XXI wieku uchwał sejmowych i senackich stanowi cel naszego artykułu.

Stressed Banks? Evidence from the Largest-Ever Supervisory Review
Authors: Abbassi Puriya , Iyer Rajkamal , Peydró José-Luis , Soto Paul E. 
Published: January 2025

We study short-term and medium-term changes in bank risk-taking as a result of supervision and the associated real effects. For identification, we exploit the European Central Bank’s asset-quality-review (AQR) in conjunction with security and credit registers. After the AQR announcement, reviewed banks reduce riskier securities and credit supply, with the greatest effect on riskiest securities. We find negative spillovers on asset prices and firm-level credit availability. Moreover, nonbanks with higher exposure to reviewed banks acquire the shed risk. After the AQR compliance, reviewed banks reload riskier securities but not riskier credit, resulting in negative medium-term firm-level real effects. These effects are especially strong for firms with high ex ante credit risk. Among these nonsafe firms, even those with high ex ante productivity, experience negative real effects. Our findings suggest that banks’ liquid assets help them to mask risk from supervisors and risk adjustments banks make in response to supervision have persistent corporate real effects.

Authors: Alfadil Lina , Haria Paras Jiteshkumar , Haria Priya , Gill Daljit , Patel Brijesh , Critchlow Simon , Evans Robert 
Published: January 2025

Cleidocranial dysplasia, linked to a mutation in the RUNX2 gene, is characterized by defective endochondral and intra-membranous bone formation. General features include a combination of aplasia or hypoplasia of one or both clavicles, a short skull, delayed ossification of the fontanelles and short stature. Dental anomalies include delayed exfoliation of primary teeth, multiple supernumerary teeth and multiple impacted teeth. The dental management of such cases is complicated. This review summarizes the multiple treatment strategies for the dental management of cleidocranial dysplasia. Combined orthodontic and surgical approaches, as well as prosthetic rehabilitation, are discussed. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary, individualized approach to the dental management of patients with cleidocranial dysplasia.

Published: January 2025

Objective
This study aims to explore the association between intraoperative hypothermia and outcomes in adult patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Methods
A retrospective analysis of 2048 adult laparoscopic surgery patients treated between 2020 and 2021 was conducted at Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand. Intraoperative hypothermia, defined as a core temperature below 36°C, was recorded as either one or more than one episode. Patient demographics, clinical information and postoperative outcomes were extracted from the hospital information system. The outcomes were intraoperative and postoperative cardiac arrhythmias, postoperative oxygen requirement, length of post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) stay, and length of hospital stay. Univariate and multivariate logistic/linear regression models were fit to assess the association between hypothermia and outcomes, presented as odds ratio (OR) or beta-coefficient (β) with 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results
The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia was 34.9%, with 688 experiencing one episode and 27 experiencing multiple episodes. On multivariate analysis, patients with one and more than one episode of hypothermia had an increased risk of intraoperative cardiac arrhythmia compared to normothermic patients (OR [95%CI]: 1.67[1.24,2.25] and 3.65[1.53,8.74], respectively, P<0.001). Normothermic patients and hypothermic patients with more than one-episode had a higher odds of postoperative oxygen requirement compared to hypothermic patients with only one episode (OR [95%CI]:1.32[1.02,1.7] and 2.64[1.1,6.32], respectively, P = 0.019). Hypothermic patients with one and more than one-episode also had longer PACU stays compared to normothermic patients (β[95%CI]:3.82[1.34,6.29] and 12.43[2.29,22.57] minutes, respectively, P = 0.001). No significant differences were observed in the other outcomes.

Conclusions
Intraoperative hypothermia in laparoscopic surgery is associated with a higher likelihood of intraoperative cardiac arrhythmias, prolonged PACU stay and higher postoperative oxygen requirement. Further research and prospective studies are warranted to validate these results and develop strategies to manage intraoperative hypothermia effectively.

Introduction
The contribution of obesity phenotypes to dyslipidaemia in middle-aged adults from four sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries at different stages of the epidemiological transition has not been reported. We characterized lipid levels and investigated their relation with the growing burden of obesity in SSA countries.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa. Participants were middle aged adults, 40–60 years old residing in the study sites for the past 10 years. Age-standardized prevalence and adjusted mean cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides and non-HDL-C were estimated using Poisson regression analyses and association of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WTHR) with abnormal lipid fractions modeled using a random effects meta-analysis. Obesity phenotypes are defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, increased WC and increased waist-to-hip ratio.

Results
A sample of 10,700 participants, with 54.7% being women was studied. Southern and Eastern African sites recorded higher age-standardized prevalence of five lipid fractions then West African sites. Men had higher LDL-C (19% vs 8%) and lower HDL-C (35% vs 24%) while women had higher total cholesterol (15% vs 19%), triglycerides (9% vs 10%) and non-HDL-cholesterol (20% vs 26%). All lipid fractions were significantly associated with three obesity phenotypes. Approximately 72% of participants in the sample needed screening for dyslipidaemia with more men than women requiring screening.

Conclusion
Obesity in all forms may drive a dyslipidaemia epidemic in SSA with men and transitioned societies at a higher risk. Targeted interventions to control the epidemic should focus on health promoting and improved access to screening services.
Judges versus artificial intelligence in juror decision-making in criminal trials: Evidence from two pre-registered experiments
Authors: Watamura Eiichiro , Liu Yichen , Ioku Tomohiro 
Published: January 2025

Background
Artificial intelligence (AI) is anticipated to play a significant role in criminal trials involving citizen jurors. Prior studies have suggested that AI is not widely preferred in ethical decision-making contexts, but little research has compared jurors’ reliance on judgments by human judges versus AI in such settings.

Objectives
This study examined whether jurors are more likely to defer to judgments by human judges or AI, especially in cases involving mitigating circumstances in which human-like reasoning may be valued.

Methods
Two pre-registered online experiments were conducted with Japanese participants (Experiment 1: N = 1,735, Mage = 48.4; Experiment 2: N = 1,731, Mage = 48.5). Participants reviewed two murder trial vignettes and made sentencing decisions (1 = suspended sentence; 8 = prison sentence) under two conditions: trials with and without mitigating circumstances.

Results and conclusion
Across both experiments, participants showed no preference for deferring to human judges’ or AI judgments when making sentencing decisions. While suspended sentences were more common in cases with mitigating circumstances, this tendency was unrelated to the judgment source. These findings suggest that jurors do not inherently avoid algorithmic judgments and may consider AI opinions on par with those of human judges in certain contexts. However, whether this leads to improved decision-making quality remains an open question, as objectivity (a strength of AI) and emotional considerations (a safeguard for fairness) may interact in complex ways during juror deliberations. Future research should further explore how these factors influence juror attitudes and decisions in diverse trial scenarios, taking into account potential biases in existing literature.

Authors: Kasi Shaira R. , Roffel Sanne , Özcan Mutlu , Gibbs Susan , Feilzer Albert J. 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This study aimed to determine the cytotoxicity (irritant potency) of toothpaste ingredients, of which some had known to have sensitizing properties.

Materials
From the wide variety of toothpaste ingredients, Xylitol, Propylene glycol (PEG), Sodium metaphosphate (SMP), Lemon, Peppermint, Fluoride, Cinnamon, and Triclosan and Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) have been selected for evaluation of their cytotoxic properties.

Methods
Reconstructed human gingiva (RHG) were topically exposed to toothpaste ingredients at different concentrations. The compound concentration resulting in 50% cell death (EC50) and 10% cell death (EC10) was determined by the MTT assay. Detrimental effects in tissue histology were observed by hematoxylin & eosin staining of tissue sections followed by microscopy.

Results
While Xylitol, PEG, and SMP did not appear to affect cell viability or tissue histology, the concentrations of Lemon, Peppermint, Cinnamon and SDS present in toothpastes exceeded the EC50 value and resulted in clear detrimental effects in tissue histology, indicating that they could harm the oral mucosa. Triclosan and Fluoride concentrations in the tested toothpastes exceeded the EC10 value but remained below the EC50 value with no clear detrimental effects in tissue histology.

Clinical significance
Manufacturers are encouraged to comply with higher standards of quality and safety for toothpaste.

The Courts in Shackles: Freedom of Speech in the Era of National Security in Hong Kong
Authors: Lo Celeste Tin Yan , Zhang Xiaoshan , Zhu Guobin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Hong Kong was once dubbed ‘the city of protest’, a seemingly derogatory description that actually highlights the vibrancy and vocality of this small international city. However, as the usually peaceful and orderly protests and demonstrations gradually degenerated into riots, arson, and criminal damage during the Anti-Extradition Protests in 2019, the Central People’s Government perceived a severe national security loophole in Hong Kong. In response, it swiftly imposed the highly controversial Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, in the absence of any sort of meaningful public consultation. International academic discourse often argues that the National Security Law has significantly restricted, if not entirely suffocated, freedom of expression in Hong Kong. This article acknowledges that freedom of expression in Hong Kong is indeed constrained within its social, political, and cultural context; however, it also seeks to explore how the courts in Hong Kong, often regarded as defenders of human rights and freedoms in the region, work to protect freedom of expression from being unduly curtailed under the guise of national security. Motivated by a strong interest in investigating the role of the Judiciary of Hong Kong, this article, after defining the meaning of freedom of speech in Hong Kong, examines several landmark cases in Hong Kong that involve the delicate balance between national security and freedom of expression. The central argument is that despite the restrictions imposed by the Law, the Hong Kong courts, now dancing with shackles, have endeavoured to use their judicial vehicles to safeguard freedom of speech. While the judicial approach adopted by the Hong Kong courts may not be as robust and straightforward as various interested parties in Hong Kong and in the international world would prefer; the strength and scope of protection of freedom of speech in Hong Kong has strengthened since the enactment of Bill of Rights Ordinance domesticated the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and has remained so in the pre-National Security Law era. Although the leeway for free speech has narrowed in the post-National Security Law era, such protection still surpasses that of Hong Kong’s early colonial days before the Bill of Rights Ordinance was enacted and essentially remains consistent with the new constitutional order of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong courts can always be seen as dedicated guardians of freedom of expression within the domestic context and should be trusted as such.
Aspectual Compresence
Authors: Aguisoul Youssef 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Some properties come necessarily clustered. Something, a clustering device, must necessarily keep them clustered. Compresence is one candidate, and it is unclear how to understand it. I discern two aspects of it: compresence as simultaneity and compresence as co-location. Then I clarify certain issues over it, particularly regarding whether or not it is transitive and whether or not it figures in the bundle. Contrary to popular belief, I argue that compresence, under the two-aspectual reading, is transitive and constitutive of the bundle.
