Authors: Lakshmi Sangineni Kalyani Surya Dhana , Ram A Bhargav , Prasad CH Rama Krishna , Garre Sandeep , Waghray Anish 
Published: January 2025

Background and Aims:
Post-dural puncture headache is a complication of spinal anaesthesia, theorised to be triggered by a lowering in intracranial pressure due to the cerebrospinal fluid leak through the dural puncture. Our objective was to evaluate whether there is a decrease in optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) with a reduction in intracranial pressure after spinal anaesthesia.

Methods:
Patients were randomised by a computer-generated randomisation table to receive spinal anaesthesia (Group S) or peripheral nerve block (Group P) after assessing their eligibility for the anaesthesia procedure as per the protocol. The ONSD was measured in the preoperative period and again at 4 h and 24 h after the anaesthetic, both in the supine and sitting positions, along with haemodynamic parameters. Continuous variables such as age, height, weight, mean arterial pressures, and ONSD were expressed as mean [standard deviation (SD)] [95% confidence interval (CI)] and compared using the student’s t-test. Repeated measure ANOVA and Bonferroni were used to compare intra-group parameters.

Results:
The mean decrease in the ONSD from a baseline mean of 3.95 (SD: 0.17) (95%CI: 3.87, 4.02) to 3.89 (SD: 0.26) (95%CI: 3.78, 4.007) mm at 4 h and 3.94 (SD: 0.12) (95%CI: 3.89, 4.0) mm at 24 h after spinal anaesthesia was statistically significant. The changes in the ONSD measurements in Group P were not statistically significant. Headache was not reported at 24 h or in the follow-up at postoperative day 5.

Conclusion:
Measurement of ONSD is an easy, economical method for identifying decreased intracranial pressure after spinal anaesthesia. Further research could identify cut-off values to prognosticate PDPH in high-risk individuals.
Novel sequential proximal iliopsoas compartment block: A four-in-one block as a primary anaesthetic technique for intramedullary femoral nailing surgery: A retrospective study
Authors: Almeida Carlos Rodrigues 
Published: January 2025

Background and Aims:
The fragile elderly population suffering from hip fractures presents an anaesthetic challenge; therefore, widening the armamentarium for surgical treatment should be sought. This retrospective study presents a new primary anaesthetic method for intramedullary femoral nailing (IMFN) surgery in the context of hip fracture: the sequential proximal iliopsoas compartment (SPIC) block.

Methods:
This single-centre retrospective study involved 25 patients aged 80 or older submitted to IMFN surgery. The patients were given a single-shot SPIC block using a total of 25 ml of ropivacaine 0.5% plus dexamethasone 8 mg administered sequentially in the proximal iliopsoas space, divided equally as per two different sites as a primary anaesthetic technique associated with moderate sedation. The outcome measure was the adequacy of the anaesthetic approach. The one-tailed Wilcoxon signed-rank test compared the preoperative numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) with the NPRS at 24 h and the pre-incision with the maximum intraoperative mean arterial pressure.

Results:
The patients were successfully anaesthetised, had no vasopressor consumption, had good surgical conditions, and had no complaints recorded. No tachycardia or hypertensive events were noted. No additional opioids were given. No statistically different values were observed when the pre-incisional and intraoperative mean arterial pressure values were compared (P = 0.52), and the preoperative NPRS compared with the NPRS at 24 h showed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
The SPIC block combined only with moderate sedation permits adequate anaesthesia while avoiding the significant risk of neuraxial/sympathetic blockade.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Donor steatosis is a major risk factor precluding living liver donation. We present the first case reported from India of right lobe donor hepatectomy following bariatric surgery. A 30 year old morbidly obese (weight 100kg, BMI 42.7kg/m2, Obesity class III, PCOD) female presented voluntarily for evaluation as a living liver donor for her relative, a 52 year old male alcoholic DCLD, CTP 11, MELD-Na 37. She was turned down as a donor due to NAFLD prioritizing donor safety and was advised weight loss to improve her overall health. In view of morbid obesity, she underwent Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. After 8 months with reversal of NAFLD, she weighed 64.5kg, BMI 27.6 kg/m 2 and had significant reduction in visceral and total body fat with CT LAI +9. Donor liver biopsy showed normal liver architecture with minimal steatosis (<1%). The patient was still on DDLT waitlist (Weight - 69kg, CTP 8, MELD-Na 20) with no other living donor option. She underwent Right Lobe Donor Hepatectomy without MHV (Graft Weight 660 gm, GRWR - 1.3, FLR~32.4%). An intraoperative donor liver biopsy revealed well maintained hepatocytic architecture. She was discharged on POD 5. Five months post- surgery, her weight is 61.6kg, BMI 26.3kg/m 2 with normal liver function and she has no metabolic syndrome. The recipient suffered no graft or renal dysfunction, was discharged on POD 10 and has been well throughout the 5 month postoperative follow-up. In conclusion, reversal of NAFLD following bariatric surgery is beneficial for donor health. A careful consideration for living donor hepatectomy is feasible solution in absence of any suitable donor.

Abstract
Foliate papillitis (FP) is the inflammation of the foliate papillae present in the tongue, which is caused by exposure or damage to their mucosal coverings. It is a painful condition with associated burning sensation on the lateral sides of the tongue. In Ayurveda, it can be correlated with Pittaja jihvakantaka. This report presents the case of a 30-year-old male patient who presented on 23 October 2021 with complaints of pain, burning sensation, and swelling on the bilateral side of the tongue since the last 1.5 months. The patient had taken vaccination for COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia on 15 September 2021 and later developed complaints of acid reflux after 2 days. The patient did not have any other systemic illness and no previous history of acid reflux or any oral disease. Inspection of the oral cavity at the posterolateral border of the tongue on both sides revealed congestion and hypertrophy of foliate papillae. On palpation, tenderness was present, but no discharge was seen. The findings led to diagnosis of FP. Based on the pathogenesis, the patient was treated with Avipattikara churna, Kamadudha rasa, Triphala guggulu, Irimedadi taila Mukha lepa (application over the tongue and oral mucosa), and Anu taila pratimarsha nasya (~low-dose medication through the nasal route) along with strict adherence to Pathya-Apathya for a duration of 3 months. After 3-month treatment, pain and burning sensation were completely relieved. The hypertrophy of foliate papillae was also completely relieved. This case report showed that FP can be managed successfully through Ayurveda.

The amount of waste produced each day by dairy cattle is one of the largest problems in intensive management systems. Therefore, disposing of residues from animal facilities has become a challenge for farmers and specialists due to its technical, sanitary, and economic aspects. Organic effluents from confined dairy production systems require proper dairy wastewater treatment before disposal. When discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment, these effluents can cause physical and chemical changes in water sources, posing risks to public health and water supply due to the presence of pathogens and/or toxic elements. This study evaluates the efficiency of a constructed wetland system (CWS) cultivated with rice (Oryza sativa) in removing pollutants from dairy cattle wastewater, while also assessing the crop yield as an integral indicator of the system’s performance. Given the limited number of samples collected, the results presented should be considered as a preliminary analysis, providing insights into the system’s performance and potential for future studies. The constructed wetland system has a surface area of 4 m² and operates with a flow of 500 L dia-1 and hydraulic retention time of 1.72 days; gravel was used as a support medium. The analyses conducted led to the conclusion that the constructed wetland system, cultivated with rice, demonstrated effective pollutant reduction, particularly excelling in the removal of organic matter (35%), turbidity (43%) and nitrite (36%). Rice cultivation showed adaptation to the constructed wetland system, exhibited satisfactory growth, and showed no signs of nutrient deficiency.

Narrative Analysis of the Web Series "Suka Duka Berduka" to Review the Relationship between Characters
Authors: Srimayasandy Syahyuni 
Published: January 2025

This article discusses the relationship between characters in the Indonesian web series ‘Suka Duka Berduka’. This web series is an Indonesian web series with conflicts over inheritance within the family. This study uses the Aktan model approach made by Greimas. Through this approach, it can be concluded that in the web series ‘Suka Duka Berduka’ characters cannot only occupy a position. However, it can move around according to the needs of the story. For example, a sending character can become a receiving character. Thus, it can be concluded that in a story the position of the actor is not always constant, but can be flexible according to the needs of the story. This study also supports the previous argument, where the position of Aktan does not have to be filled with a character or figure but can also be a condition or situation.

Abstract. Simulations of the coupled ionosphere–magnetosphere system are a key tool to understand geospace and its response to space weather. For the most part, they are based on fluid descriptions of plasma (magnetohydrodynamics, MHD) formalism, coupled to an electrostatic ionosphere. Kinetic approaches to modeling the global magnetosphere with a coupled ionosphere system are still a rarity. We present an ionospheric boundary model for the global near-Earth plasma simulation system Vlasiator. It complements the magnetospheric hybrid-Vlasov simulations with an inner boundary condition that solves the ionospheric potential based on field-aligned current and plasma quantities from the magnetospheric domain. This new ionospheric module solves the ionospheric potential in a height-integrated approach on an unstructured grid and couples back to the hybrid-kinetic simulation by mapping the resulting electric field to the magnetosphere's inner boundary. The solver is benchmarked against a set of well-established analytic reference cases, and we discuss the benefits of a spherical Fibonacci mesh for use in ionospheric modeling. Preliminary results from coupled global magnetospheric–ionospheric simulations are presented, showing formation of both Region 1 and Region 2 current systems.

“I know – that’s the system. The system is wrong”: Allyship and social justice in community interpreting from a service-user perspective
Authors: Marianacci Agustina 
Published: January 2025

Defined as the practice of gaining awareness and acting upon the oppression of marginalized groups, allyship can account for the power interpreters hold in systems of oppression and can contribute to social justice. This article reports on a study designed to explore allyship in spoken-language interpreting from the perspective of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) users of interpreting services. Involving CALD individuals – foreign-born people in English-speaking countries who do not speak English at home – from the Latin American community living in Aotearoa New Zealand, the study explored users’ perspectives on the role of interpreters, their perceptions of allyship and social justice, and the way these concepts inform interpreting practice. The study employed a culturally affirming horizontal methodology that relied on four one-on-one dialogues with users of Spanish-speaking interpreting services about their experiences in various community settings. This was followed by one group dialogue involving users, English–Spanish interpreters and a community representative. The findings suggest that users prefer humane and caring interpreters with a flexible understanding of their role. Aware that social marginalization is intrinsic to community interpreting, they highlighted the reality that mere message transfer and language proficiency are insufficient for CALD individuals to secure access to statutory services and that inadequate assistance can be (re-)traumatizing. The users’ perspective therefore conflicts with the prevailing rules-based approach to ethics in interpreting and its focus on accuracy in interpreting over social and relational skills. To overcome the disparity between users’ expectations and entrenched concepts of neutrality and non-intervention, allyship stands as a potential lens through which to develop a nuanced and flexible understanding of the community interpreter’s role, as well as culturally grounded redefinitions of ethicality and professionalism in the field.

Motor Induksi 3 Phase merupakan konversi energi listrik menjadi energi mekanik yang terdiri atas stator dan rotor. Efisiensi kerja dari motor induksi merupakan rasio dari energi listrik yang digunakan motor induksi lalu diubah menjadi energi mekanis serta sedikitnya rugi-rugi daya pada motor induksi daripada semua energi yang digunakan. Pada tanggal 6 Juni 2024 di Palembang Indah Mall terjadi ketidakstabilan tegangan pasca terjadinya Blackout total dari PLN di Sumatera Selatan, sehingga mempengaruhi kinerja motor induksi yang digunakan untuk penggerak fan pada cooling tower, karena ketidakstabilan tegangan yang diterima motor induksi tersebut sehingga terjadi penurunan dari segi torsi serta efisiensi motor induksi. Pada penelitian kali ini, diketahui besar nilai eff untuk tegangan 375 V adalah 0,86; untuk efisiensi pada tegangan 400 V adalah 0,81; dan untuk efisiensi pada tegangan 415 V adalah 0,77. Dari pernyataan tersebut bisa kita simpulkan bahwa semakin besar tegangan, maka akan semakin kecil efisiensi motor induksi 3 phase. Tegangan yang normal sangat dibutuhkan untuk menjaga efisiensi motor induksi 3 phase selalu dalam keadaan baik.

Kefir is a naturally carbonated and mildly acidic milk beverage fermented by grains that consist of bacteria and yeast living in a symbiotic relationship. Its unique flavor arises from a blend of lactic acid, ethanol, carbon dioxide, and other compounds produced by the microorganisms within the kefir grains. The microorganisms in kefir are a complex microbial population that varies by geographical region. Kefir is widely acknowledged for its probiotic content, with reported health benefits that include modulation of intestinal microflora, immune system stimulation, and antimicrobial, antineoplastic, hypocholesterolemic, antidiabetic, and antimutagenic effects. It also exhibits β-galactosidase activity and benefits lipid and blood pressure levels. This review focuses on the microbiological aspects, composition, and production of milk kefir, highlighting how its biological properties correlate with the health benefits associated with its consumption.
Before and after Greece and Egypt in the Eighteenth Century
Authors: Orrells Daniel 
Published: January 2025

This chapter examines the question of the historical relationship—the before and the after—of ancient Greece and Egypt in the eighteenth century, to complicate our narratives about the rise of philhellenism during the Enlightenment. While the eighteenth-century antiquarian turn to material culture has indeed been seen as foundational—the “before”—for the development and institutionalization of the discipline of classics, we will see that the emerging narrative about Europe’s ancient Greek origins was constructed in dialogue with eighteenth-century debates about the Egyptian hieroglyph, the history of writing, and the relationship between image and text. This chapter explores these issues by focussing on an exemplary set of Enlightenment intellectuals and antiquarians: Giambattista Vico, Winckelmann, and d'Hancarville. This chapter shows that the reception of ancient Egypt in the Enlightenment was fundamental to the emergence of the European narrative about its Hellenic origins.

RELATO DE CASO: CANCER RENAL AVANÇADO COM TROMBOSE VENOSA ACOMETENDO VEIA CAVA INFERIOR E ATRIO DIREITO
Authors: Falcão Juliano Seger , Vidal Fábio Galvão 
Published: January 2025

O Carcinoma de Células Renais, é a entidade tumoral mais prevalente dentre as neoplasias renais, e não raramente apresenta um perfil de disseminação venosa, podendo acometer através de trombose tumoral, desde a veia renal até o átrio direito. E quando assim é apresentado, corresponde um verdadeiro desafio ao Urologista, frente a complexa técnica operatória necessária para a remoção de todo o tumor. Além disso, a evidência de trombose tumoral pode associar-se a um pior prognóstico em termos oncológicos e cirúrgicos. Sendo assim, este relato tem por finalidade a descrição do manejo clínico e cirúrgico de um paciente masculino de 35 anos (à época), que apresentava trombose tumoral até o átrio direito, sendo tratado cirurgicamente por equipe multidisciplinar, com realização de nefrectomia associada a trombectomia e atriotomia direita, e que apesar de ter evoluído com recidiva por meio de implantes metastáticos retroperitoneais e pulmonar, evoluiu com boa resposta ao tratamento quimioterápico, e até o momento da submissão deste relato, encontra-se livre de doença.
