Minimally invasive adrenalectomy for adrenocortical cancers: A systematic review
Authors: Pirzada Faisal Masood , Kumar Rajeev 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis. Due to the widespread use of imaging, greater proportion of cases are being discovered at an early stage, and it is possible to surgically excise these tumors by minimally invasive (MIS) approaches, including pure laparoscopy and robotic assistance. However, due to the fear of capsular breach, tumor spill, and incomplete removal, open surgery (OS) is still the preferred option for managing ACC. The aim of this review is to compare the two approaches and assess where MIS can be option for the surgical management of ACC.

Methods:
This review was performed as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews statement. Studies comparing OS and MIS approaches for ACC were retrieved from the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. The two approaches were compared for tumor characteristics and outcomes.

Results:
A total of 22 studies comparing MIS with OS were included in this review. Out of the total 4639 patients, 1411 underwent surgery by MIS and 3228 by OS. Patients operated by MIS had smaller tumors, lower operative time and blood loss with higher positive surgical margin rate, and higher rate of local recurrence. However, the overall survival was comparable between the two approaches.

Conclusions:
MIS can be used in localized Stage-I ACC but only at high-volume centers. Stage II ACC may be considered for MIS if there is no evidence of local invasion and the surgery can be performed without capsular perforation and conversion to OS.

Abstract

Background:
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a common procedure for child and adolescent patellofemoral instability. Graft choice remains debated, with hamstring autograft being most frequent. This systematic review aimed to assess the safety and clinical effectiveness of isolated MPFL reconstruction in children and adolescents based on graft choice, to guide clinical decision-making.

Methods:
MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched from 1946 to June 21, 2023, for randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case–control studies, and case series of patients ≤18 years old undergoing MPFL reconstruction. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane tool for RCTs and Joanna Briggs Institute checklists for observational studies. Random-effects meta-analysis was planned where possible.

Results:
Twenty-six studies (19 case series, 6 cohort studies, and 1 case–control study) with 844 procedures were included. No RCTs were identified. Case series had a mean JBI critical appraisal score of 7.6/10, while cohort studies scored 8.5/11. Redislocation rates ranged from 4 to 10% across graft types (gracilis 7%, semitendinosus 10%, quadriceps 8%, augmented tape 6%, and mixed 9%). The median postoperative Kujala scores ranged from 88.6 to 92.2.

Discussion:
Short-term data suggest that isolated MPFL reconstruction has good outcomes regardless of graft choice. However, evidence was limited by lack of RCTs, short follow-up, and under-reporting of risk factors. Most studies provided Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Level 3–4 (case series) evidence. Better comparative studies are needed with risk stratification to allow the comparison of techniques for this procedure. Levels of evidence: CEBM Levels 3–4.

Published: January 2025

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic struck Uganda, much emphasis by the policy makers and researchers were on the health effects of the pandemic at the expense of the economic effects hence creating a research gap. The cardinal aim of this study was to examine the economic effects of the pandemic on the wellbeing of the market vendors in Kampala city. The specific objectives of this study were; examining how the COVID-19 pandemic economically affected the market vendors in Kampala city, and determining if the pandemic was a demand or supply side shock. The study employed the Blinder-Oaxaca (B-O) decomposition technique, which was originally used in labor economics to decompose earnings gaps and to estimate the level of discrimination. This decomposition method analyses changes in a given variable over time. Descriptive statistics such as means, frequencies, and percentages were generated to gain insights into the data. Consumption and Sales were used as proxies for demand whereas the proxy for supply was production. The decomposition results from the Oaxaca estimates show that consumption, sales, and production reduced after the introduction of the COVID-19 restriction. The pandemic affected the market vendors economically through reduced consumption, sales, and disruption of the supply chain. It is recommended that the government provide appropriate support in form of income support, access to low credit and building the digital capacity of market vendors. This study contributes to the understanding of the economic effects of the pandemic on vulnerable groups-the market vendors.

Published: January 2025

Objectives: The objective of this paper is to explore the current state of Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage in the Indian criminal justice system, with a focus on its legal and ethical implications. It aims to examine how existing legal frameworks, such as the Information Technology Act of 2000 and the Indian Penal Code of 1860, could be adapted to regulate AI within the legal profession. Additionally, the paper seeks to highlight the relevance, issues, and future prospects of AI applications in law enforcement agencies, courts, and correctional centers, stressing the need for multi-stakeholder cooperation among legal professionals, policymakers, and technologists.

Methods: This paper employs a qualitative analysis of the current implementation of AI in India’s criminal justice system. It reviews existing laws, including the Information Technology Act and the Indian Penal Code, to assess their applicability in regulating AI practices. Furthermore, the roles of the High Courts and the Supreme Court of India in overseeing AI applications across the country are examined. Ethical and legal concerns related to AI are explored, particularly regarding transparency, accountability, and public participation in the regulatory process.

Results: The study found that there is currently no dedicated legislation in India specifically governing the use of AI in criminal justice. However, existing laws like the Information Technology Act of 2000 and the Indian Penal Code of 1860 can be utilized to regulate AI applications in the legal profession. The involvement of the Indian High Courts and the Supreme Court is crucial in ensuring that AI practices align with legal standards and ethical norms. The paper also identifies several challenges in the adoption of AI in criminal justice, such as concerns about bias, fairness, and transparency.

Conclusion: The use of AI in India’s criminal justice system presents both significant opportunities and challenges. While AI can enhance crime prediction, detection, and offender management, its application raises important legal and ethical concerns. The absence of specific legislation dedicated to AI regulation calls for a comprehensive legal framework that integrates the best practices of transparency, accountability, and ethical standards. Multi-stakeholder cooperation among legal professionals, policymakers, and technologists is essential for ensuring that AI applications in the criminal justice system uphold the principles of justice, equity, and human rights. By fostering such collaboration, India can effectively harness the benefits of AI while safeguarding the integrity of its legal system.

Published: January 2025

Dalam kegiatan logistik Indonesia, gudang memiliki peranan penting sebagai tempat penyimpanan sementara. Berdasarkan survei yang dilakukan oleh World Bank dan LPEM FEUI, biaya logistik di Indonesia bisa mencapai 20% dari harga jual produk. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tingginya harga produk di Indonesia disebabkan oleh biaya produksi, penyimpanan dan distribusi yang tinggi. Penyimpanan produk sebenarnya adalah hal yang seharusnya bisa dikurangi karena saat produk dalam masa penyimpanan, artinya perusahaan masih mengeluarkan biaya bagi produk yang sedang disimpan digudang seperti biaya untuk keamanan, akomodasi, karyawan dan lain sebagainya. Secara umum, gudang berfungsi sebagai tempat penyimpanan barang namun hal ini bisa dikatagorikan lagi berdasarkan jenis produk maupun permintaan konsumen. Jenis gudangpun ada bermacam-macam, karena setiap produk memiliki spesifikasi masing-masing terhadap gudang yang dibutuhkannya. Dalam pemilihan apakah akan membeli atau menyewa gudang, ada beberapa hal yang harus dipertimbangkan antara lain lokasi, kapasitas, teknologi, keamanan dan biaya gudang itu sendiri. Metode penyimpanan barang dalam gudangpun ada berbagai macam, tergantung dari jenis barang yang disimpan dan fasilitas yang tersedia di gudang tersebut. Kesimpulan yang dapat diambil adalah bahwa gudang memiliki peran signifikan dalam kegiatan logistik Indonesia. Memperkecil biaya penyimpanan akan mampu mengurangi tingginya nilai jual produk kepada konsumen .

Profetisk kamp för nationens pånyttfödelse
Authors: Poletti Lundström Tomas 
Published: January 2025

Förebedjare för Sverige var under 1976–1986 ett väckelsekristet nätverk som genom profetisk klarsyn och gemensam bön ville kontrollera den andliga, moraliska och politiska utvecklingen i landet. I kristen press och littera-tur har nätverket och dess företrädare sedan 1980-talet emellanåt omtalats som banbrytande inspiratörer. Nätverket har också gjort avtryck i internationella sammanhang. Genom en tematisk textanalys av deras nyhetsbrev och litteratur framgår att Förebedjare för Sverige utvecklade en evangelikal och karismatisk politisk filosofi baserad på en konspirationsteoretisk världsbild inspirerad av antisemitisk litteratur och auktoritärt idégods. Föreställningarna kombinerades med en betoning på nationens pånyttfödelse och försvar, varför denna sammanslutnings politiska ideologi kan beskrivas som en väckelsekristen radikalnationalism.

Authors: Orido Millicent , Lotodo Teresa Cherop , Kigen Nicholas , Stohler Ryan , Vik Terry A. , Vance Gail H. 
Published: January 2025

Context.—
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by proliferation of the granulocytic cell line. The incidence of CML in Kenya is estimated at near 2000 cases annually. The disorder is associated with a poor prognosis without treatment. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are approved for treatment in adults and children with confirmed disease. Diagnostic testing for CML in the public setting in Kenya is limited and not covered by the Kenyan National Health Insurance Fund.

Objective.—
To establish a clinical fluorescence in situ hybridization assay for the diagnosis of CML in the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) Reference Laboratory in Eldoret, Kenya.

Design.—
Peripheral blood and bone marrow smears were split between the AMPATH Reference Laboratory and the Indiana University Cytogenetics Laboratory for concordance studies.

Results.—
Seventeen specimens from patients with a provisional diagnosis of CML were studied by fluorescence in situ hybridization in both the AMPATH and Indiana University Cytogenetics laboratories. The analysis for 1 specimen could not be completed by both laboratories, and the results for 1 other specimen were discordant. The interpretations of 15 of 16 specimens (93.7%) were concordant. Normal specimens were also studied to establish the normal range for the assay.

Conclusions.—
We report the establishment of diagnostic testing for CML in the AMPATH Reference Laboratory and the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya.
