Published: April 2023

Background:
Spontaneous anterior arch fracture of the atlas after a C1 laminectomy (CIL) is an extremely rare complication.

Case Description:
A 72-year-old male presented with the sudden onset of neck pain. His prior history included; a CIL for atlantoaxial subluxation, shunt closure for a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula at C3, a cervical laminoplasty from C3 to C6 for stenosis, and a prior anterior C4/5 and C5/6 fusion 14 years ago. Once the computed tomography documented a right C1 anterior arch fracture, and occipital-cervical fusion was performed utilizing C2 laminar screws and C4 pedicle screws with halo-vest placement. Postoperatively, the neck pain resolved and he remained stable.

Conclusion:
Neurosurgeons should be aware of the risk of anterior arch fractures following a CIL and may alternatively consider a C1 laminoplasty in the future.

Средства массовой информации стали неотъемлемой частью нашей жизни. Большинство из нас постоянно проводят свободной время в социальных сетях, просматривая ту или иную информацию. Это могут быть различного рода развлекательные видео, аудио или текстовые сообщения или официальная информация. Вопрос о влиянии средств массовой информации на различные типы людей и социальные институты на различных уровнях общества часто является дискуссионным. Частично это можно объяснить растущим распространением медиаконтента и медиаорганизаций, которые могут оказывать влияние на людей и общество в целом. В частности, средства массовой информации существенно влияют на личные мнения и убеждения, вопросы, касающиеся отдельного человека, а также на коллективное выражение мнений в обществе. Зачастую средства массовой информации служат средством облегчения, усиления или торможения той или иной ситуации благодаря своему глубокому влиянию на общественное мнение. Общество и другие социальные институты во многих странах очень уязвимы для влияния средств массовой информации, и люди легко поддаются влиянию СМИ.
The media have become an integral part of our lives. Most of us constantly spend our free time on social networks, viewing this or that information. It can be various kinds of entertainment videos, audio or text messages, or official information. The question of the influence of the media on different types of people and social institutions at different levels of society is often debatable. This can be partly explained by the growing proliferation of media content and media organizations that can have an impact on individuals and society as a whole. In particular, the media have a significant impact on personal opinions and beliefs, issues relating to the individual, as well as the collective expression of opinions in society. Often, the media serve as a means of alleviating, intensifying or slowing down a given situation due to its profound influence on public opinion. Society and other social institutions in many countries are very vulnerable to the influence of the media, and people are easily influenced by the media.

В современных условиях COVID-19 и времени резкого падения стоимости нефти в мире, жесткой конкуренции, нестабильности внешней среды особое значение имеет сохранение и приумножение потенциала организации, предоставления продукции надлежащего качества, создание положительного имиджа, удовлетворение потребностей покупателей, обеспечение долгосрочных конкурентных преимуществ компании на рынке и тому подобное. Актуальность исследования стратегического менеджмента и его моделей обусловлена отсутствием в экономической литературе современной точки зрения определения стратегического управления, а также тем, что существующие модели стратегического менеджмента являются слишком консервативными. Многие компании, вследствие пандемии, потеряли доходы, некоторые стали банкротами и прекратили свою деятельность вообще. Это показало, что модели управления, которые были раньше, сегодня больше не работают. Появление COVID-19 спровоцировало увеличение количества политических кризисов, усиление нестабильности экономики и существующей конкуренции. Все это возможно благодаря эффективному стратегическому управлению организацией, которое учитывает влияние факторов окружающей среды. Предлагаемый организационный механизм включает три этапа: подготовительный, этап стратегического выбора, планирования и разработки стратегических мер, этап реализации и контроля стратегии для повышения эффективности управления в нефтегазовой сфере.In modern conditions of COVID-19 and the time of a sharp drop in the cost of oil in the world, fierce competition, instability of the external environment, it is of particular importance to preserve and increase the potential of the organization, provide products of appropriate quality, create a positive image, meet the needs of customers, ensure long-term competitive advantages of the company in the market, and so on. The relevance of the study of strategic management and its models is due to the lack of a modern definition of strategic management in the economic literature, as well as the fact that the existing models of strategic management are too conservative. Many companies, as a result of the pandemic, lost income, some went bankrupt and stopped their activities altogether. This showed that the management models that used to be no longer work today. The appearance of COVID-19 provoked an increase in the number of political crises, increased instability of the economy and existing competition. All this is possible thanks to the effective strategic management of the organization, which takes into account the influence of environmental factors. The proposed organizational mechanism includes three stages: preparatory, the stage of strategic selection, planning and development of strategic measures, the stage of implementation and control of the strategy to improve the efficiency of management in the oil and gas sector.

The study determined the influence of the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) on the financial markets during the COVID-19 pandemic. It investigated if the CBDC had the potential to improve the efficiency and lending power of the financial system. The research relied on secondary data from a range of financial markets, such as the FTSE, MSCI, Gold Index, S&P 500, and Dow Jones, collected during the COVID-19 period. The quantitative approach was employed using the statistical software SPSS to perform descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The results revealed that the financial markets were negatively impacted by COVID-19, but the CBDC saw a higher level of development during the same period. The statistical analysis showed a positive and significant relationship between the CBDC Attention Index, the Uncertainty Index, and various financial market indices, with regression analysis indicating a significant impact of the CBDC Attention Index on all financial market indices except the Gold Index. However, this study has some limitations, including its limited scope of financial markets. Despite this, these results have important implications for academics and policymakers. It is recommended to increase the use of CBDC through well-crafted policies and legislation to fully realize its potential impact on the financial system.

Published: April 2023

Background Urinary albumin excretion has been associated to cardiovascular events and increased mortality in hypertensive patients. There is limited information among Nepalese patients about the implications of microalbuminuria (MA) in the setting of hypertension and potential cardiovascular morbidity.
Objective To investigate the prevalence of microalbuminuria in patients with essential hypertension and its connection with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT).
Method The study involved 80 hypertension individuals in total. All patients in the study had basic biochemical tests, routine urine evaluations, echocardiography, and carotid artery intima-media thickness measurements performed, and the data were analyzed.
Result The prevalence of microalbuminuria was present in 37.5% cases of essential hypertension. The mean left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was significantly higher in patients with increased microalbuminuria as compared to patient with normal microalbuminuria. In addition, a significant positive correlation between microalbuminuria and left ventricular hypertrophy was also observed. Furthermore, mean carotid artery intima-media thickness was found to be higher in patients with microalbuminuria (p < 0.001), with 76.7% of the patients with microalbuminuria having elevated mean carotid artery intima-media thickness. The carotid artery intima-media thickness had a positive correlation with both microalbuminuria and left ventricular hypertrophy.
Conclusion Microalbuminuria assessment in hypertensive patients is an important test for the evaluation of target organ damage. This study shows that microalbuminuria is common in hypertension patients, particularly those with left ventricular hypertrophy. Microalbuminuria was found to be associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and carotid artery intima-media thickness.

Published: April 2023

Background Tumor markers have been a valuable tool for decades to aid in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of oncological diseases.
Objective To retrospectively analyze the requisition pattern of tumor marker requests at the largest tertiary care center in eastern Nepal.
Method A retrospective hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted to obtain the data for 5 common tumor markers i.e., Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), Cancer antigen- 125 (CA-125), Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9, Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) analyzed in the Department of Biochemistry at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal for 5 years.
Result A total of 8716 tests for tumor marker was conducted over 5 years. The most common tumor marker requested at our hospital was Prostate-specific antigen (48.77%) followed by Cancer antigen-125 (39.02%), Carcinoembryonic antigen (9.30%), Alpha-Fetoprotein (2.29%), and Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (0.63%) respectively. The majority of the tumor markers (Alpha-Fetoprotein, Cancer antigen-125, Carbohydrate antigen 19-9, and Carcinoembryonic antigen) were requested from in-patient wards while Prostate-specific antigen was majorly requisitioned from the out-patient department (OPD) [74%] respectively.
Conclusion The finding from the present study suggest that though Nepal is one of the developing countries where the specialized health care services are limited only to cities and developed areas, the burden of oncological disease is high. Dharan is one of the small cities in the eastern part of Nepal and serves the majority of the population in the periphery. The number of tumor marker requisitions as per the laboratory data is significant (n=8716) over a period of 5 years where few tests like Alpha-Fetoprotein, Carcinoembryonic antigen, and Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 have just been initiated. Also, the findings delineate that the outpatient departments have requested more tumor markers which might/ might not be inconsistent with the preliminary diagnosis.

Published: April 2023

Background Tricuspid regurgitation is frequently present in patients with mitral valve disease and most of this tricuspid regurgitation present are significant.
Objective To find out the prevalence of tricuspid regurgitation in adult patients present in our hospital who are planned for isolated mitral valve surgery for mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation or both. Patients with moderate and severe tricuspid regurgitation were considered as significant.
Method This was the retrospective cross-sectional study performed at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center of Nepal. All cardiac surgical patients scheduled for isolated mitral valve surgery during the 3 years’ period from 2017 to 2020 were enrolled in the study and presence or absence of significant tricuspid regurgitation were recorded and analysed.
Result Out of total patients 65% (663) of the cases with mitral valve pathology had significant tricuspid regurgitation. Out of the total mitral stenosis cases 70% were associated with significant tricuspid regurgitation, 62.6% of the cases of mitral regurgitation had significant tricuspid regurgitation and 64.8% of patients with combined mitral stenosis and regurgitation were associated with significant tricuspid regurgitation.
Conclusion Significant tricuspid regurgitation is present in most of the cases with isolated mitral valve pathology. So routine tricuspid valve evaluation and repair if needed during mitral valve surgeries is recommended.

Published: April 2023

Background The Cesarean Section (CS) is a major obstetric life-saving procedure used to avoid pregnancy and childbirth complications. Cesarean sections are becoming more popular across the world, as well as in Nepal.
Objective To assess the prevalence of cesarean section and its associated factors among women in Dhulikhel, Nepal.
Method A cross-sectional study was conducted where 1246 pregnant women of age 15-45 years, admitted and delivered in hospital, were selected through purposive sampling technique and interviewed using structured questionnaires in Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University Hospital, Kavre, Nepal.
Result The prevalence of cesarean section among women was 39.7% where the most common indication was previous cesarean section with scar tenderness, 27.9%. Half of the participants, i.e. 50.6%, were primigravida. Majority of women, 97.5% had done their antenatal checkup and among them 74.8% had their checkup in Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University Hospital. Most of them, i.e.76.2% had emergency cesarean section and 69.5% had primary cesarean section. Women of the age group 30-45 years (AOR=2.23) and women with higher secondary education level (AOR=2.03) were two times more likely to perform cesarean section. Women involved in service (AOR=1.37) and business (AOR=1.23) had greater odds of performing cesarean section than homemakers. Women giving birth to infants weighing 3.51- 5.00 kg were more likely to perform cesarean section (AOR=1.33).
Conclusion The prevalence of cesarean section is noticeably high where the educated, employed and higher aged women are more inclined to cesarean section. More obstetric factors could be explored to determine the rise in cesarean section in Nepal which can help in decision making for clinicians.

A THINKER AHEAD OF TIME: THE PRINCIPLES OF PERSONALITY EDUCATION AND MANAGEMENT OF COLLECTIVE SOCIETY BY BRONISLAW FERDINAND TRENTOVSKY
Authors: Fytsyk Igor 
Published: April 2023

The article analyzes the biography, the stages B. Trentovsky’s formation as a scientist under the influence of the academic courses of Victor Cousin, Francois Pierre Guillaume Guizot, Abel-Francois Villemain and others, listened to during his studies at Warsaw, Berlin, Heidelberg and Paris universities. From the general list of scientific works, those dedicated to pedagogical issues were singled out, which made it possible to highlight the foundations of the pedagogical views of the outstanding Polish philosopher of the XIX century. The specifics of the historical processes that took place in the history of Poland in the first half of the 19th century have been clarified as well as the circumstances that shaped the peculiarities of the philosophical and pedagogical preferences of the Polish thinker-pedagogue. Attention is focused on the formation of the Polish variant of messianism as an attempt of Polish intellectuals to return the lost greatness of the Polish people, and the affiliation of B. Trentowski to this philosophical trend is emphasized. His interpretation of the principles of personality education, features of studentsʼ assimilation of knowledge, abilities and skills is highlighted. Emphasis is placed on the authorʼs vision of the general principles of team building, the peculiarities of human behavior in the collective, the necessary prerequisites for its harmonious functioning, the expediency of taking into account the existing objective and subjective contradictions of the personal value priorities of individuals. The role of the leader in the team management, the need for him to make unpopular managerial decisions, the mandatory executive discipline of subordinates, the system of incentives and punishments for personnel are emphasized. At the same time, possible risks associated with power abuse are formulated. The philosopherʼs personal contribution to the formation of cybernetics and the importance of his scientific heritage for the further development of philosophy and pedagogy of the 19th and 20th centuries are highlighted.
