Seeing Double: Two Cases of Dermatomyositis Misidentified as Erythema Dyschromicum Perstans
Authors: Andrews Laura , Shope Chelsea , Eason Chelsea , Knabel Michael , Elston Dirk 
Published: September 2023

Without pathognomonic skin lesions or muscle weakness, early DM may be misdiagnosed as a disorder of hyperpigmentation. A 38-year-old male presented with a one-year history of progressive hyperpigmented patches on the face and neck. Outside biopsy was thought to be consistent with EDP, with which the patient’s identical twin brother had recently been diagnosed. Later skin exam was notable for progression to erythematous and hyperpigmented slightly scaly macules and patches of the face, faint pink thin plaques on bilateral extensor forearms and bilateral retroauricular creases, and proximal nailfold capillary dilation and dropout. These findings raised concern for dermatomyositis. Repeat biopsies were suggestive of CTD. ANA was weakly positive. Extended myositis panel was negative. Re-evaluation of his twin brother’s biopsy showed similar findings. The twin’s ANA was negative, and extended myositis panel is pending. Ultimately, both were diagnosed with DM. Work-up for muscle and systemic involvement is underway. Our patient was started on MMF 500mg BID, which was increased to 1000mg BID at follow up. After little improvement on MTX, the patient’s twin brother was switched to MMF 1000mg BID. Diagnosis of DM is particularly challenging in patients lacking classic dermatologic findings or myopathy. Recognition of subtle signs of DM, histopathologic analysis, and presence of MSAs may aid in correct diagnosis.
Analysis of the timing and the usage of drains following cranioplasty on outcomes and the incidence of bone resorption
Authors: Morgan Ryan D. , Kharbat Abdurrahman F. , Collins Reagan A. , Garza John , Belirgen Muhittin , Nagy Laszlo 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Pediatric cranioplasty is associated with a high rate of complications, including bone resorption (BR) in 20–50% of cases. We aimed to evaluate factors contributing to BR, including the effect of the timing of cranioplasty and the use of post-surgical drains.

Methods:
This is a dual institution retrospective review of all patients under 18 years old who underwent a cranioplasty following a decompressive craniectomy (DC) for the treatment of traumatic brain injury between 2011 and 2021. Early cranioplasty was defined as within 30 days after DC and late cranioplasty as >30 days. Patients were grouped by BR and separately by timing to cranioplasty. Groups were compared based on the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and postoperative drain usage.

Results:
A total of 30 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 7.39 (standard deviation = 6.52) and 60% were male. The median time to cranioplasty was 13 days (interquartile range = 10–17). BR was present in 16.7% of cases. A subgaleal drain was utilized in 93.3% and an external ventricular drain (EVD) in 63.3% of patients following cranioplasty. Drain usage was not associated with BR and timing to cranioplasty was not associated with discharge or 6-month GOS.

Conclusion:
This study demonstrates that early cranioplasty following DC may have similar outcomes to late cranioplasty. Post-surgical EVDs and subgaleal drains did not increase the incidence of BR, suggesting their importance in the postoperative management of these patients.

Authors: Sanada Yasuhiro , Tsuji Kiyoshi , Hamada Yuumi , Fujishima Kazuhiro , Furukawa Kentaro , Fukawa Norihito , Kubota Hisashi , Satow Tetsu , Takahashi Jun C. 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Given the popularity of pterional craniotomy, numerous modifications have been made to prevent postoperative deformities. With the advent of titanium plates, fixation has become both simple and excellent. However, titanium plates can cause skin problems, infection, or cause skull growth to fail.

Methods:
To develop a simple, cost-effective, and esthetically satisfactory fixation method, without the use of non-metallic materials, six young and older patients underwent pterional craniotomy. CranioFix Absorbable clamps were used to fix the bone flap in the frontal and temporal regions such that the frontal part was in close contact with the skull. After fixation, the bone chips and bone dust were placed in the bone gap and fixed with fibrin glue. We measured the computed tomography values of the reconstructed area and thickness of the temporal profiles postoperatively over time.

Results:
Bone fusion was achieved in all patients by 1 year after surgery. Both the thickness of the temporalis muscle and the thickness of the temporal profile had changed within 2 mm as compared with the preoperative state.

Conclusion:
Our simple craniotomy technique, gentle tissue handling, and osteoplastic cranioplasty yielded satisfactory esthetic results and rigidness in pterional craniotomy.
Migration of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt into the thoracic cavity: A case report and pitfalls of the rib structure
Authors: Yokoya Shigeomi 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Although ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) is a universal treatment for hydrocephalus, it is generally well-known that the procedure often has complications. Shunt catheter migration is one such complication, but no reports of migration into the thoracic cavity are associated with the surgical technique. Herein, I present a case of thoracic cavity migration of a shunt catheter alongside anatomical pitfalls of the rib structure.

Case Description:
The patient was a 62-year-old male diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to craniocervical junction arteriovenous fistula and underwent direct surgery to occlude the fistula. We performed VPS for secondary hydrocephalus 1 month later. During VPS, the peritoneal catheter was tunneled subcutaneously over the clavicle to pass from the head to the abdomen. Several months later, the peritoneal catheter had migrated from the peritoneal cavity to the thoracic cavity. A computed tomography scan showed that the peritoneal catheter tunneled subcutaneously over the clavicle, penetrated the thoracic wall through the intercostal space between ribs 1 and 2, and entered the thoracic cavity.

Conclusion:
When performing VPS, it is not enough to send the passer through the skin over the clavicle; it must also be tunneled subcutaneously over the ribs while confirming the position of the tip by touch.
SURFACTANTS AS A WAY TO IMPROVE THE ADSORPTION OF BACTERIA ON THE SURFACE OF MINERALS IN THE PROCESS OF BIO-LEACHING
Authors: Пурлац В.Э. 
Published: September 2023

Извлечение металлов классическими способами переработки обедненных руд сопровождается высоким уровнем загрязнения окружающей среды. Процесс биовыщелачивания является альтернативным решением этой проблемы. Однако эта технология затруднена из-за низкой кинетики бактериального процесса. Следовательно, особенно важно найти методы для повышения скорости выщелачивания. Один из таких методов включает в себя изменение физико-химических свойств поверхностей минералов и наружных мембран бактерий, что может усилить взаимодействие между микробами и минералами и увеличить скорость выщелачивания. Некоторые исследования показали, что адгезию бактерий на поверхности минералов можно регулировать добавлением поверхностно-активных веществ. Рассмотрена роль поверхностно-активных веществ как одного из методов повышения эффективности биологического выщелачивания низкосортных руд. Был сделан краткий литературный обзор, по применению поверхностно-активных веществ.
The formation of biofilms on sulfide minerals is a complex multi-stage process that includes cell adhesion, formation of microcolonies, their maturation and detachment. The process of creating biofilms is influenced by many factors, including the properties of the surface of minerals on the adsorption and formation of biofilms of acidophilic microorganisms on mineral rocks. Changing the properties of the surfaces of minerals and the outer membranes of bacteria enhances the interaction between microbes and minerals to increase the rate of leaching. Some studies have shown that the adsorption of bacteria on the surface of minerals can be regulated by the addition of surfactants, since this can change the physico-chemical properties of minerals and the outer membrane of microorganisms. The role of surfactants in the process of bacterial leaching of low-grade ores is considered. The literature data concerning the use of surfactants in the process of bacterial leaching were given.

Гены короткостебельности (Rht) имеют большое разнообразие аллельных вариантов и различаются по степени влияния на высоту растений и другие составляющие структуры урожайности пшеницы. Многие широко распространённые аллели генов короткостебельности оказывают в том числе и негативное влияние на признаки продуктивности и адаптацию к условиям внешней среды, поэтому актуальным является поиск, изучение и внедрение в сорта пшениц других генов. Целью работы являлось изучение коллекции из 79 озимых и 76 яровых образцов твёрдой пшеницы НЦЗ им. П. П. Лукьяненко с помощью молекулярных маркеров для определения аллелей Rht-B1b, Rht-B1e, Rht-B1a и оценки разнообразия внутри коллекций по исследуемым генам. В нашей работе использовались молекулярные маркеры нового поколения — KASP-маркеры, основанные на конкурентной аллель-специфичной ПЦР. По данным исследования, в изученных образцах яровой и озимой твёрдой пшеницы отсутствует аллель Rht-B1e. В ходе исследований было выявлено, что среди озимых форм твёрдой пшеницы 99% образцов имеют мутантный аллель Rht-B1b, среди яровых пшениц 86% образцов представлено этим аллелем. Аллель дикого типа (Rht-B1a) был обнаружен только у одного озимого сорта и 11 образцов яровой твёрдой пшеницы. В связи с расширением ареала возделывания сортов твёрдой пшеницы краснодарской селекции, в НЦЗ им П.П. Лукьяненко ведутся работы по внедрению новых аллелей генов редукции высоты для повышения разнообразия аллелей генов короткостебельности. В настоящий момент такие образцы проходят испытания в селекционных питомниках.
Dwarfing, or reduced height genes (Rht) have a large number of alleles and differ in their impact on plant height and other yield traits in wheat. Many dwarfing alleles, commonly present in plant DNA, negatively affect crop productivity and stress-resistance. Therefore, search for and introduction of new genes in wheat genome gained a significant attention. The aim of this experiment was to screen the collection of 79 winter and 76 spring genotypes of durum wheat from the National Grain Center n. a. P. P. Lukyanenko to identify the Rht-B1b, Rht-B1e, Rht-B1a alleles and analyze their diversity in plants using molecular markers. This experiment focused on the new generation of molecular markers — KASP-markers, based on kompetitive allele specific PCR (KAMP). Rht-B1e was not observed in the pool of the DNA tested. Around 99% of winter and 86% of spring genotypes of durum wheat had mutant allele of Rht-B1b. Wild-type Rht-B1a was identified only in one winter and 11 spring genotypes. Due to wider cultivation of the varieties of durum wheat of the Krasnodar breed, the National Grain Center n. a. P. P. Lukyanenko is participating in the number of projects to introduce new dwarfing alleles into crop genome and increase their diversity. Currently, these genotypes are undergoing trials in the breeding nurseries.

TO THE DISCUSSION ON TEACHING ECONOMIC THEORY
Authors: Покрытан П.А. 
Published: September 2023

Статья вскрывает ряд проблем, ограничивающих понимание условий, формирующих движение современной системы образования в российском обществе. Отмечается, что традиционные оценки недостатков российской системы образования в большинстве случаев основаны на эмпирически обыденных наблюдениях, ухватывающих внешне воспринимаемые события как достаточные, а потому абстрактные, то есть не требующие проверки на теоретическом уровне познания. Показано, что ползучий эмпиризм ограничивает научное понимание происходящих в образовании негативных явлений и не даёт возможности выработки научно обоснованных рекомендаций по их нейтрализации. В этом состоит научная новизна представляемого материала. Цель статьи – представить суждения научной критики выступлений отдельных участников конференции в Финансовом университете и привлечь внимание к наследию отечественной педагогики, использование которой в настоящее время особенно важно.
The article reveals a number of problems that limit the understanding of the conditions that form the movement of the modern education system in Russian society. It is noted that traditional estimates of the shortcomings of the Russian education system in most cases are based on empirically ordinary observations that grasp externally perceived events as sufficient, and therefore abstract, that is, not requiring verification at the theoretical level of knowledge. It has been shown that creeping empiricism limits the scientific understanding of negative phenomena occurring in education and does not make it possible to develop scientifically based recommendations for their neutralization. This is the scientific novelty of the presented material. The purpose of the article is to present the judgments of scientific criticism of the speeches of individual participants of the conference at the Financial University and to draw attention to the legacy of Russian pedagogy, the use of which is currently particularly topical.
