Sensorineural hearing loss in patients with tubotympanic type of chronic suppurative otitis media: a prospective study
Authors: Singh Manjit , Aman Mohd , Prakash Om , Suri Anil , Bala Kiran , Sharma Rupali , Sharma Preeti 
Published: January 2025

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is defined as a chronic inflammation of the mucosa of the middle ear cleft, which presents with recurrent or persistent ear discharge through a tympanic membrane perforation. Hearing loss associated with CSOM is conductive but sensorineural hearing loss has also been observed which may be due to toxins produced during infection that can damage the hair cells on the basal turn of the cochlea. To study the relationship between sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and tubotympanic type of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media.
Methods: This was a prospective study conducted on 60 patients of tubotympanic type of CSOM attending the ENT OPD at SMGSH, Jammu after getting (Institutional Ethical Committee) IEC clearance.
Results: In the present study, 8 (13.3%) out of 60 patients of tubotympanic or mucosal type of CSOM had SNHL.
Conclusions: Although it is a known fact that tubotympanic type of CSOM causes conductive hearing loss due to perforation in the tympanic membrane and ossicular damage but it is concluded from the present study that tubotympanic type of CSOM carries a risk of SNHL in significant percentage of patients. Hence, it is advocated that patients should be made aware of risk of development of SNHL in tubotympanic type of CSOM if left unoperated for a longer duration.

Published: January 2025

Schwannomas also known as neurilemmomas are slow-growing, encapsulated benign peripheral nerve sheath tumours that arise from Schwann cells. It has no gender or racial predilection and commonly occur between the 3rd to 6th decades. Approximately 45% of schwannomas arise from the head and neck region. Sinonasal and paranasal schwannomas however are relatively rare tumours and not commonly documented, accounting less than 4% of all head and neck schwannomas. Schwannomas arising from the nasal septum are rarely encountered, with only few cases reported. Here we report a case of a 50-year-old lady presented with unilateral nasal congestion and intermittent left sided epistaxis. Physical examination revealed a soft tissue mass occupying the left nasal cavity. A complete tumour excision via endoscopic approach was performed and the histopathologic examination identified the tumour as a schwannoma. A prompt resolution of the symptoms ensued following complete excision of the tumour.

Authors: Popova Elizaveta 
Published: January 2025

Investigative cases and litigation over property disputes are quite common at all times, and the period of the Swedish occupation of Novgorod was no exception. In the research, the author refers to the petition compiled by the merchant Jakim Kuzmin in Novgorod at the beginning of the 17th century, which is kept in the archive of the St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The text of the petition contains a complaint and an attempt to challenge the last will of the deceased father-in-law of the petitioner by his heirs. In addition to the petition, the document contains the will itself, drawn up before the death of the deceased by himself. A thorough analysis of the document was carried out, a short form of the last will of the beginning of the 17th century was compiled according to available data in comparison with the texts of last wills of other eras. It was found that the texts of the wills transformed slightly over time, preserving the general form and the conceptual basis of the narrative.

Authors: Prokopov Alexander 
Published: January 2025

This article is written in the main on the basis of archival documents. The author could reveal how the leaders of the Communist International tried to spread its influence among Indians in the middle of 1920s. The main executer of these Comintern plans was the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB). Its activists carried on agitation in Indian trade unions, among unorganized workers in India, among Indian sailors and students in Britain, supported the Communist Party of India (which was established in 1925), British Communists also carries on oral and printed propaganda. But they did not succeed in this activity. General weakness and small in number of the CPGB, considerable difficulties in establishing of connections with Indians, including members of the Communist Party of India — all these did not permit British Communists to win over to their side the noticeable part of the 300 millions of population of India and direct anti colonial protest actions of Indian people into revolutionary struggle.

Published: January 2025

Background:
Previous studies have reported normative data for sagittal spinal alignment in asymptomatic adults. The sagittal spinal alignment change in European children was recently reported. However, there is a lack of studies on the normative reference values of sagittal spinal and pelvic alignment and how these parameters change at different growth stages in Chinese children. The aims of this study were to establish the normative reference values of sagittal spinopelvic parameters in Chinese children, to investigate their variation during growth, and to compare these parameters between Chinese and European populations.

Methods:
The radiographic data of 1,916 healthy Chinese children (female:male sex ratio, 1.02:1; mean age, 11.9 ± 4.3 years) were analyzed in a retrospective, single-center study. Full-spine radiographs were utilized to measure several sagittal parameters, including pelvic parameters, T1-T12 thoracic kyphosis (TK), and L1-S1 lumbar lordosis (LL). TK was divided into proximal, middle, and distal parts, and LL was divided into proximal and distal parts. Patients were stratified into 5 groups according to skeletal maturity (based on age, Risser sign, and triradiate cartilage status).

Results:
During skeletal growth, pelvic incidence (PI) increased from 31.3° to 38.4° (p < 0.001), and pelvic tilt (PT) increased from 7.8° to 12.2° (p < 0.001). There were also increases in LL (from 45.0° to 46.3°; p = 0.020) and proximal LL (from 14.5° to 15.9°; p = 0.023). The peak of change in PI occurred between Groups 1 and 2 (from 31.3° to 35.8°; p = 0.011). The peak of change in LL was observed between Groups 1 and 3 (from 45.0° to 47.7°; p = 0.008). The peak of change in proximal LL (from 14.5° to 15.9°; p = 0.039) and distal TK (from 6.1° to 6.9°; p = 0.039) occurred between Groups 1 and 5. A subgroup comparison showed that age and TK were significantly higher in male patients than in female patients across the skeletal growth groups.

Conclusions:
This was a comprehensive study of sagittal alignment in a large cohort of Chinese children. These findings can serve as age, sex, and ethnicity-specific reference values for spine surgeons when assessing and planning correction surgery for pediatric patients. The sagittal alignment variations during skeletal growth were different from those in European children, representing a unique cascade effect occurring during skeletal maturation in the Chinese population.

Auto Frac: Improving Consistency and Control in Completions
Authors: Bogle E. , Stark P. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
What is the value of automation in hydraulic fracturing? Companies are under constant pressure to deliver continuously improving results in the face of market challenges. Evidence for the need to improve results is evident in earnings calls and managerial opinions, where calls to increase production and efficiency are routinely expressed. Automating fracture design execution at the job site is the key to increased efficiency. Automation is an innovative idea in completions but should not be a surprising thought. Automation has already proven to be the key to immediate efficiency and long-term productivity in drilling operations (Farhi et al.). Similarly, improvements across various businesses and completion services represent a prime opportunity for its implementation in hydraulic fracturing. Automating hydraulic fracturing enables operational consistency in execution, reduces risk, and enables higher-level system control for the operator. Automation also enhances employee utilization, freeing resources for other tasks by eliminating tedious routines while pumping. In 2024, completion automation began to roll out across North America, and today, controlling execution from the beginning to the end of stage, running across numerous fleets. This paper will review the results of this service and what future opportunities now exist.
Recent Developments and Utilization of Produced Water in Bakken Well Stimulations

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The use of produced water in hydraulic fracturing operations is a sustainable alternative to freshwater resources and can reduce completion costs while taking pressure off the disposal reservoir. An examination of how Bakken operators have progressed utilization over the past decade is described. Several states have enacted legislation related to the minimization of freshwater use in the oil and gas industry. Although the industry's demand for freshwater is significantly smaller than irrigation and municipal use, alternatives can alleviate future increased use, specifically for hydraulic fracturing. Water source data for hydraulic fracturing is not widely available through public databases or professional oil and gas data services. Operators have only recently begun providing source water data to FracFocus. Information was culminated from industry correspondence, publications, and corporate reporting to estimate recent use of produced water in North Dakota, and new methods to increase use. Presently 40% of operators in North Dakota with active completion programs are incorporating produced water reuse, and 20% are using significant volumes with reuse rates of 5% to 28%. Water scarcity is not as severe in North Dakota compared with more arid regions of the country. North Dakota producers are presently replacing about 5% of freshwater with produced water in completion operations as compared to the Permian Basin in which reuse rates of over 50% have been reported. There seems to be room to grow produced water utilization within the Williston Basin, however the availability and deliverability are significant limitations. A renewed interest by operators has resulted in an evolution of the practice since 2019 with the primary benefits of improved sustainability and financial performance.
