Published: December 2023

Abstract
Direct anterior approach to the cervicothoracic spine (C7-T4) for surgery can be challenging via a standard anterior cervical incision as a result of the important neurovascular structures crowding the cervicothoracic junction. Where indicated, median sternotomy provides improved access to this region of the spine for interventions. From the paucity of published literature in West Africa, this adjunct appears to be quite unpopular among spine surgeons in our sub-region. We report the presentation, preoperative evaluation, operative technique and outcome of treatment of a 66-year-old man with multiple myeloma affecting T1 with the same vertebral body collapse, who had full median sternotomy, anterior T1 decompression with C7-T2 Spinal fixation. Where indicated, an anterior trans-sternal approach to the cervicothoracic spine offers good exposure to T2/T3 vertebral body for decompression and instrumentation with minimal risks and morbidity. Spine surgeons in the West African subregion should utilize this important collaboration with thoracic surgeons to achieve satisfactory access to spine surgery within the thoracic cavity.
Symptoms and signs of dry eye in children with Graves‘ ophthalmopathy
Authors: Jankauskiene Jurate , Jarusaitiene Dalia 
Published: December 2023

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tear secretion and ocular surface properties in children with Graves‘ ophthalmopathy (GO) and to compare the results with those of healthy children.

METHODS:
This was a cross-sectional study. Forty-three patients with GO (Group 1) and 41 healthy children without any ocular and/or systemic disorder (Group 2) were examined clinically and underwent tests for dry eye. We performed analyses including the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, Schirmer‘s test under topical anesthesia (<5 mm was abnormal), slit-lamp biomicroscopy (corneal fluorescein staining and tear breakup time (TBUT) under blue-light illumination), and fundoscopic evaluation.

RESULTS:
Dry eye symptoms and the mean OSDI score were significantly (P < 0.02) higher (15.6 ± 18.7) in patients with GO compared with controls (5.67 ± 3.6). The mean Schirmer‘s (basal tear secretion) tests value was significantly reduced in Group 1 (5.25 ± 3.1 mm) compared with Group 2 (17.1 ± 5.2), respectively. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.005), suggesting inadequate tear production. The mean tear film breakup time in children was lower in patients with GO (8.3 ± 3.42 s,) compared with controls (13.2 ± 4.74 s), (P < 0.001) suggesting an unstable tear film. Decrease of corneal sensitivity (23.3%) was noted in patients with GO compared with controls. GO patients showed a significant increase of the frequency of corneal fluorescein staining (6.9%) in patients with GO compared with controls.

CONCLUSION:
Patients with GO had a statistically significant higher incidence of dry eye symptoms and the increase of OSDI score. Significantly lower Schirmer‘s and TBUT tests results were seen in the study group when compared with the controls. These findings may indicate a tendency for dry eye in pediatric GO patients.
Weight and sight: Association between body mass index and visual efficiency skills of university students
Authors: Gupta Aayushi , Thakur Renu 
Published: December 2023

PURPOSE:
The aim of this study is to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and visual efficiency skills of university students.

METHODS:
This study adopted an analytical and descriptive methodology whereby a comprehensive screening of 385 university students was conducted. Ultimately, 116 subjects were selected to ensure judicious distribution of subjects across the four categories of BMI. These 116 subjects were subjected to visual efficiency testing parameters, as referenced from “Clinical Management of Binocular Vision,” by Scheiman and Wick.

RESULTS:
BMI and visual efficiency anomalies were observed to be correlated with statistical significance to each other as indicated by a P = 0.018 and χ
2 = 15.22. It was also observed that the obese category exhibited the highest prevalence of accommodation and vergence anomalies, followed by the underweight category, as discerned from a detailed analysis of subjects classified according to the BMI categories. These findings imply a noteworthy and potentially deleterious impact of BMI on the visual system and underscore the importance of regular screening for visual efficiency skills in individuals across various BMI categories.

CONCLUSION:
This study established a compelling association between BMI and visual efficiency skills anomalies. Consistent with prior research, the findings of this study suggest that individual with higher BMI is more prone to experiencing such anomalies.
Irreducible modules of modular Lie superalgebras and super version of the first Kac–Weisfeiler conjecture
Authors: Shu Bin 
Published: December 2023

AbstractSuppose
$\mathfrak {g}=\mathfrak {g}_{\bar 0}+\mathfrak {g}_{\bar 1}$
is a finite-dimensional restricted Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field
$\mathbf {k}$
of characteristic
$p>2$
. In this article, we propose a conjecture for maximal dimensions of irreducible modules over the universal enveloping algebra
$U(\mathfrak {g})$
of
$\mathfrak {g}$
, as a super generalization of the celebrated first Kac–Weisfeiler conjecture. It is demonstrated that the conjecture holds for all basic classical Lie superalgebras and all completely solvable restricted Lie superalgebras. In this process, we investigate irreducible representations of solvable Lie superalgebras.
Characterization of the Disinfectant Resistance Genes qacEΔ1 and cepA in Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates
Authors: Liu Xiaoli , Gong Lin , Liu Ernan , Li Changfeng , Wang Yimei , Liang Jiansheng 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT.
The emergence and wide global spread of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates are of great concern. This multicenter study aimed to investigate the molecular characteristics of CRKP isolates from inpatients in Wuhan, China. From June 2018 to March 2019, 74 nonduplicated CRKP clinical isolates were collected from six hospitals in Wuhan. We determined the minimum inhibitory concentrations of 18 antibiotics and used real-time polymerase chain reaction to detect the presence of disinfectant resistance genes qacEΔ1 and cepA. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was conducted to assess the genetic relatedness of isolates. Among the 74 CRKP isolates, the rates of resistance to carbapenems were high: 93.2% to ertapenem, 90.5% to imipenem, and 87.8% to meropenem. All isolates were resistant to at least one carbapenem antibiotic. Of the 74 isolates, 64.9% (48/74) were positive for qacEΔ1 and 93.2% (69/74) for cepA. QacEΔ1 and cepA were detected concomitantly in 46 isolates (62.2%), whereas only 4.1% (3/74) had no disinfectant resistance genes. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis clustered the 46 CRKP strains co-producing qacEΔ1 and cepA into 15 different clonal clusters (Types A to O). The most common clonal clusters were Type C (41.3%), Type E (13.0%), and Type J (8.7%). The study showed high rates of resistance to most antibiotics and high frequency of qacEΔ1 and cepA in CRKP isolates. Specific clonal dissemination of CRKP was detected within the same hospital or between different hospitals. Therefore, medical institutions should choose and use disinfectants correctly to prevent the spread of CRKP.

ABSTRACT.
Thailand aims to eliminate malaria by 2026, with 46 of the country’s 77 provinces already verified as malaria free. However, these provinces remain susceptible to the reestablishment of indigenous transmission that would threaten the national goal. Thus, the country is prioritizing national and subnational prevention of reestablishment (POR) planning while considering the spatial heterogeneity of the remaining malaria caseload. To support POR efforts, a novel nonmodeling method produced a malaria stratification map at the tambon (subdistrict) level, incorporating malaria case data, demographic data, and environmental factors. The stratification analysis categorized 7,425 tambons into the following four risk strata: Local Transmission (2.9%), At Risk for Transmission (3.1%), High Risk for Reintroduction (2.9%), and Low Risk for Reintroduction (91.1%). The stratification map will support the national program to target malaria interventions in remaining hotspots and mitigate the risk of transmission in malaria-free areas.

Coding to Connect: Centering Joy and Community in Elementary Computer Science Education
Authors: Karlin Mike , Stephany Cristina , Reed Marcia 
Published: December 2023

In this piece, we weave together personal reflections to explore the design and implementation of an unplugged, elementary computer science (CS) event, and examine the underlying pedagogical principles guiding this work. Critical CS scholars have increasingly called for centering joy and connection within CS, while simultaneously decentering the neoliberal focus on workforce development. We aimed to forefront these ideas with a CS event supported and led by a multi-stakeholder partnership between preservice teachers, staff, and faculty within California State University, Dominguez Hills’ College of Education, and the students, inservice teachers, and administration at 186th St. Elementary School. Historically, CS is an inequitable and inaccessible field that does not prioritize diversity or inclusion. By bringing together numerous stakeholders from across the community for a CS event centering joy, we hoped to shift perceptions and experiences of CS and find better ways of supporting and inspiring all our students and teachers.

Published: December 2023

Consciente de sua responsabilidade como docente em contexto de defesa da universidade pública, gratuita e de qualidade, Antonella Galindo, primeira professora trans da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), tem dedicado sua carreira a questões humanitárias, quer seja no ensino, na pesquisa ou na extensão, com ênfase particular na visibilização de temáticas e desafios para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e equânime, onde a LGBTQIA+fobia não tenha espaço em face dos valores do atual Estado Democrático de Direito. A esses desafios se somam seu papel na gestão, outro exemplo de seu pioneirismo, no cargo de vice-diretora da Faculdade de Direito do Recife (FDR), desde abril de 2023, por meio do qual almeja estreitar o contato da UFPE, particularmente da FDR, com a sociedade, assim como também objetiva dar a devida atenção a pautas de grupos sociais minorizados. Antonella colaborou/colabora com diversos Programas de Pós-graduação lato e stricto sensu em Direito e ciências afins, tais como os da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, da Universidade Federal de Alagoas, da Universidade do Vale do Rio Sinos (UNISINOS) e da Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa (Portugal), bem como com grupos de pesquisa nacionais e internacionais, a exemplo do Oxford Transitional Justice Research e do Public International Law Group, ambos da Universidade de Oxford (Reino Unido). Tem experiência na área jurídica, com ênfase em Direito Constitucional, atuando principalmente nos seguintes temas: constituição, princípios constitucionais, direitos fundamentais, direito antidiscriminatório, justiça de transição, dentre outros. Em postura interdisciplinar, tem buscado estabelecer associações teóricas com a filosofia e a teoria geral do direito, além da ciência política e da teoria do Estado. Por fim, vale ressaltar que Antonella Galindo também teve seu nome mencionado por boa parte da comunidade jurídica como uma das possíveis mulheres aptas a ocupar a vaga de Ministra do STF aberta com a aposentadoria da Ministra Rosa Weber. É com alegria e gratidão que inicio esta entrevista, que, assim espero, possa servir de inspiração para o público em geral, e principalmente para pessoas cujas subjetividades não normativas têm sido utilizadas para lhes negar acesso a espaços de atuação nos diversos âmbitos da sociedade contemporânea. Esta entrevista foi iniciada em 28 de junho e finalizada em 10 de agosto de 2023, por meio de conversas em aplicativo de comunicação instantânea e trocas de mensagens por e-mail, possibilitando, assim, tempo para reflexão e posterior escrita tanto das respostas como das perguntas.
