Published: October 2023

Background:
Low-field magnetic resonance imaging (LF-MRI) has become a valuable tool in the diagnosis of brain tumors due to its high spatial resolution and ability to acquire images in a short amount of time. However, the use of LF-MRI for intraoperative imaging during brain tumor surgeries has not been extensively studied. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the impact of low-field intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (LF-IMRI) on the duration of brain tumor surgery and the extent of tumor resection.

Methods:
A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar from February 2000 to December 2022. The studies were selected based on the inclusion criteria and reviewed independently by two reviewers. The gathered information was organized and analyzed using Excel.

Results:
Our review of 21 articles found that low-field intraoperative MRI (LF-IMRI) with a field below 0.3T was used in most of the studies, specifically 15 studies used 0.15T LF-IMRI. The T1-weighted sequence was the most frequently reported, and the average scanning time was 24.26 min. The majority of the studies reported a positive impact of LF-IMRI on the extent of tumor resection, with an increase ranging from 11% to 52.5%. Notably, there were no studies describing the use of ultra-low-field (ULF) intraoperative MRI.

Conclusion:
The results of this systematic review will aid neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists in making informed decisions about the use of LF-MRI in brain tumor surgeries. Further, research is needed to fully understand the impact of LF-MRI in brain tumor surgeries and to optimize its use in the clinical setting. There is an opportunity to study the utility of ULF-MRI in brain tumor surgeries.

Authors: Satake Koki , Uchikado Hisaaki , Miyahara Natsuko , Makizono Takehiro , Morioka Motohiro , Miyahara Takahiro 
Published: October 2023

Background:
Intractable hiccups (IH) due to syringomyelia or syringomyelia/syringobulbia associated with Chiari type I malformations (CMI) are extremely rare. Here, we present two patients who presented with IH; one had a CMI with syringomyelia/syringobulbia, and the other, with CMI and syringomyelia.

Case Description:
The first patient was an 18-year-old female who presented with IH attributed to a holocord syrinx and syringobulbia involving the right dorsolateral medulla. The second patient was a 22-year-old female with a C3-5 syringomyelia. Both patients successfully underwent foramen magnum decompressions that improved their symptoms, while subsequent magnetic resonance studies confirmed shrinkage of their syringobulbia/syringomyelia cavities.

Conclusion:
IH was due to cervical syringomyelia/syringobulbia in one patient and cervical syringomyelia in the other; both were successfully managed with foramen magnum decompressions.

Assessing Artificial Recharge on Groundwater Quantity Using Wells Recharge
Authors: Hassan Waqed H. , Ghazi Zainab N. 
Published: October 2023

In arid and semi-arid countries like Iraq, which suffer from water scarcity due to the effects of climate change and decreased surface water flow, groundwater is considered a vital source of irrigation water. This study is concerned with the influence of artificial recharge on the rehabilitation of the unconfined aquifer called Al-Dibdibba, located between the cities of Najaf and Kerbala in central Iraq around 31°550′ N and 32°450′ N and 43°300′ E and 44°300′ E. Due to excessive groundwater pumping rates for irrigation, this aquifer has suffered from groundwater decline and increased salinization during the previous 20 years. By establishing a conceptual model in the groundwater modeling system software (GMS), a numerical model was made to simulate groundwater flow. Artificial recharge using recycled water (tertiary treatment) from Kerbala's primary WWTP was carried out using 25 injection wells. The model was calibrated against historical and observed water level data for periods from 2016 to 2017. Three scenarios to predict how the aquifer would act with artificial recharge of 5%, 8%, and 10% from the total daily outflow of the WWTP in Kerbala (100000 m3/day) were studied. The calibration model met the observed values of groundwater levels with R2 = 0.989 for steady-state simulations and R2 = 0.987 for transient simulations. In the final analysis of the simulation, the results show that the maximum predicted groundwater level was raised by the injection of treated water through 25 wells by 1.05 m for 5000 m3/day, 2 m for 8000 m3/day, and 3 m for 10,000 m3/day recharge pumping rates. In addition, if water were pumped into the aquifer, it might support the development of agricultural lands covering more than 93 km2. So, artificial recharge can be considered one of the important solutions to adaptation to the effects of climate change and desertification in Iraq. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-09-010 Full Text: PDF

Published: October 2023

The study examines the root causes of delays that the project manager is unable to resolve or how the decision-maker can identify the best opportunities to get over these obstacles by considering the project constraints defined as the project triangle (cost, time, and quality) in post-disaster reconstruction projects to review the real challenges to overcome these obstacles. The methodology relied on the exploratory description and qualitative data examined. 43 valid questionnaires were distributed to qualified experienced engineers. A list of 49 factors causes was collected from previous international and local studies. A Relative Important Index (RII) is adapted to determine the level of importance of each sub-criterion in the four main criteria (scope, time, cost, and quality) to represent the causing changes in projects. The concluded 13 important factors represent the challenges faced by managers. This process requires active participation in the management role to overcome potential delays that face a great challenge and cause huge waves of displacement that affect the Iraqi economy and lead to social and environmental modifications. Reconstruction projects create jobs, improve the quality of life, and encourage people to return to their homes and rebuild their cities. So, unlocking local potential is the key to sustainable rebuilding in Iraq. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-09-05 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Erina A. A. , Shchukin V. M. , Khorolskaya E. A. , Kuz'mina N. E. 
Published: October 2023

Scientific relevance. Zinc quantification in insulin active substances and preparations by atomic absorption spectrometry requires a sample preparation procedure using hydrochloric acid, a narcotic and psychotropic precursor. The exclusion of precursors from laboratory practice significantly reduces labour costs during analysis.Aim. This study aimed to modify the pharmacopoeial method for quantifying zinc in insulins with a view to eliminating drug precursors and to evaluate the applicability of the modified method across different insulin preparations.Materials and methods. The study considered insulin active substances and preparations of various types, dosage forms, and strengths. Zinc content determination involved using an Agilent 240FS atomic absorption spectrometer at a characteristic wavelength of 213.86 nm.Results. The authors selected the conditions for elemental analysis (nitric acid concentration, monochromator slit width, and flame stabilisation time) corresponding to the pharmacopoeial requirements for quantifying zinc in insulins (RSD ≤1.4%, standard zinc solution with a concentration of 0.8 mg/dm3, and calibration curve correlation coefficient ≥0.99). The study compared zinc content measurements in the studied insulin samples with hydrochloric acid or nitric acid as a solvent; it did not reveal any significant differences between the results obtained by the pharmacopoeial method and the modified method.Conclusions. The modified method enables analysts to quantify zinc in insulin preparations in various dosage forms without drug precursors.
Possibility of using mathematical analysis methods to evaluate the potency of antibodies to hepatitis B virus surface antigen in human immunoglobulin preparations
Authors: Postnova E. L. , Movsesyants A. A. 
Published: October 2023

Scientific relevance. Anti-hepatitis B virus surface-antigen (HBsAg) immunoglobulins are used to prevent hepatitis B in adults and children after exposure and to treat mild to moderate acute viral hepatitis B. The clinical effectiveness of human immunoglobulin preparations is determined by their potency, which is assessed by the content of antibodies to hepatitis B virus surface antigen (anti-HBs antibodies). Currently, this assessment involves using immunoassay techniques, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Aim. This study examined several mathematical methods for analysing the experimental data obtained in ELISA-based anti-HBs antibody potency assays of human immunoglobulin preparations.Materials and methods. This study used the international standard for human anti-HBs immunoglobulin, two immunoglobulin preparations, and an ELISA test kit for the detection and quantification of anti-HBs antibodies in serum or plasma samples.Results. Using sandwich ELISA, the authors ascertained that the measured anti-HBs antibody concentration depended on the choice of calibration curve calculation method (i.e. manual analysis, parallel-line analysis using PARALINE software, linear regression, and 4-parameter logistic regression). The measured anti-HBs antibody concentrations varied by ± 19 IU/mL. According to the study results, an incorrectly selected method of data analysis can lead to an erroneous calculation of the analyte potency (concentration) in the test sample.Conclusions. The study demonstrated the need for improved mathematical methods for the evaluation of experimental data used to determine the anti-HBs antibody concentration in human immunoglobulin preparations. It is essential to switch from manual to automated calculation (for example, using a 4-parameter logistic model), taking into account the requirements for bioanalytical methods and the capabilities of the available equipment.

Authors: Goel Palak , Kotia Anshu S.S. , Kumar Anil , Bana Mona , Meena Reena , Singh Tarun 
Published: October 2023

Background: The efficacy of pregabalin in acute post-surgical pain management is well demonstrated. As, the use of pregabalin is officially not approved and hence, there is no dosing guideline as well.
Aim: To determine whether single preoperative administration of different doses of pregabalin (150 mg to 300mg) could decrease postoperative pain intensity following spinal surgery.
Materials and Method: In this prospective, randomized double-blinded study, a total 60 patients undergoing spinal surgery were selected and randomly assigned any of these four groups of 15 each; group A (received placebo drug), group B (received pregabalin 150mg), group C (received pregabalin 200mg) and group D (received pregabalin 300mg). All the groups received the said drugs (coded as it was double-blinded study) in the same manner and two hours prior to operation. The patients were followed for pain scores on visual analogue scale (VAS), time to rescue analgesia and side effects as secondary outcomes.
Results: Patients in pregabalin dose ranging group had lower pain in the initial hour of recovery. However, the pain scores subsequently decreased and became similar in all groups. Time for the requirement for analgesic was longer in pregabalin 300mg group when compared with other study groups.
Conclusion: A single dose of 300 mg pregabalin given 1–2 hours prior to surgery is superior to placebo after spinal surgery.

Breast cancer is the most incidental and deadly neoplasm worldwide; in Mexico, very few epidemiologic reports have analyzed the pathological features and its impact on their clinical outcome. Here, we studied the relation between pathological features and the clinical presentation at diagnosis and their impact on the overall and progression-free survival of patients with breast cancer. For this purpose, we collected 199 clinical records of female patients, aged at least 18 years old (y/o), with breast cancer diagnosis confirmed by biopsy. We excluded patients with incomplete or conflicting clinical records. Afterward, we performed an analysis of overall and progression-free survival and associated risks. Our results showed an average age at diagnosis of 52 y/o (24–85), the most common features were: upper outer quadrant tumor (32%), invasive ductal carcinoma (76.8%), moderately differentiated (44.3%), early clinical stages (40.8%), asymptomatic patients (47.8%), luminal A subtype (47.8%). Median overall survival was not reached, but median progression-free survival was 32.2 months (29.75–34.64, CI 95%) associated risk were: clinical stage (p < 0.0001) symptomatic presentation (p = 0.009) and histologic grade (p = 0.02). Therefore, we concluded that symptom presence at diagnosis impacts progression-free survival, and palpable symptoms are related to an increased risk for mortality.

Authors: Kargar Aylar , Kızıltan Gül 
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: In recent years, plant-based diets and their effects on health have gained attention. This diet has become a preferred dietary style for managing obesity. Weight gain is influenced by various factors, such as low body image perception and obesity prejudice. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of plant-based diets among female students and their associations with obesity prejudice and body self-perception. METHODS: The research was conducted with 450 female university students. The anthropometric measurements were obtained based on self-reporting. the GAMS-27 Obesity Prejudice Scale and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relationship Questionnaire (MBSRQ) were applied to evaluate obesity prejudice and body self-perception, respectively. RESULTS: The study found no significant differences in anthropometric measurements between omnivores and vegetarians ( p > 0.05). However, 78.6% of the students showed some level of tendency toward prejudice or prejudice against obesity. There was no significant relationship between body weight, BMI, and obesity prejudice in both dietary groups ( p > 0.05). Yet, vegetarians had significantly lower mean scores on the MBRSQ, indicating body image dissatisfaction ( p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: While the anthropometric measurement and prejudice against obesity did not yield notable results, significantly lower scores on the MBSRQ indicated greater dissatisfaction with body image in vegetarians.

Published: October 2023

This research sets out to investigate the importance of video subtitling in improving foreign language students’ listening comprehension. The researchers employed a pre-post test to measure the impact of video subtitling on foreign language learners' listening comprehension achievement at the end of each six units used in the experiment. The study was carried out on five groups representing the five Unlock Cambridge levels taught at Birzeit University in Palestine. These levels include A1, A2, B1, B2 and C. Students are placed in these levels in accordance with their results in the English Placement test. Results of the study clearly show that the remedial (A1) and the intermediate level (A2 and B1) students have significantly improved their listening comprehension after watching the subtitled video. On the other hand, the advanced level (B2) students showed modest progress in their listening comprehension. The last group (C level ) students showed almost no enhancement in their listening comprehension skills.
