Abstract
Background The ABO blood type, due to its various hemostaseologic properties, has been associated with several vascular diseases, including aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, the role of ABO blood type in delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) onset and other clinical outcomes after aSAH is largely unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association between ABO blood type and outcomes after aSAH, primarily DCI.
Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the data collected from 175 aSAH patients at a tertiary supraregional neurosurgery department over 5 years. Socio-demographic factors, clinical variables (DCI, mFG, WFNS grade, and Glasgow Outcome Scale at discharge), EVD placement, and aneurysm size were analyzed for their association with ABO blood type.
Results DCI was reported in 25% of patients with ‘O’ blood type and 9.6% with ‘non-O’ blood type. A stepwise logistic regression model showed that after adjusting for BMI, mFG, WFNS grade, and EVD placement, ‘O’ type blood group was an independent risk factor for DCI, greatly increasing the risk of DCI as compared to ‘non-O’ type groups (OR = 3.27, 95% CI: 1.21–8.82).
Conclusion This study provides evidence that individuals with ‘O’ blood type may have a higher risk of DCI onset after aSAH. However, further studies are essential to address the limitations of our work and confirm our findings.
Effectiveness of Standard Treatment for Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer: Traditional Management with Surgery, Radiation, and Chemotherapy
Authors: Feria Alejandro , Times Melissa 
Published: March 2023

AbstractColorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in the United States comprising 7.9% of all new cancer diagnoses and 8.6% of all cancer deaths. The combined 5-year relative survival rate for all stages is 65.1% but in its most aggressive form, stage 4 CRC has a 5-year relative survival rate of just 15.1%. For most with stage 4 CRC, treatment is palliative not curative, with the goal to prolong overall survival and maintain an acceptable quality of life.The identification of unique cancer genomic and biologic markers allows patient-specific treatment options. Treatment of stage 4 CRC consists of systemic therapy with chemotherapeutic agents, surgical resection if feasible, potentially including resection of metastasis, palliative radiation in select settings, and targeted therapy toward growth factors. Despite advances in surgical and medical management, metastatic CRC remains a challenging clinical problem associated with poor prognosis and low overall survival.
Epidemiology of Stage IV Colorectal Cancer: Trends in the Incidence, Prevalence, Age Distribution, and Impact on Life Span
Authors: Ilyas Mohammed Iyoob Mohammed 
Published: March 2023

AbstractColorectal cancer is a common malignancy in men and women. Historically, stage IV colorectal cancer has 10 to 15% five-year survival. Developments in the management of colorectal metastatic disease have helped improve the overall survival of stage IV colorectal cancers from 12 to 30 months with some patients achieving disease-free survival.
Focal Cancer in Colitis
Authors: Lam Cyrena C. , Kethman William 
Published: March 2023

AbstractColorectal cancer (CRC) is a known complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Widely accepted guidelines recommend that patients with ulcerative colitis diagnosed with CRC undergo total proctocolectomy with or without ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, and that patients with Crohn's disease and CRC undergo either total colectomy or proctocolectomy. These approaches are ideal for preventing synchronous and metachronous cancer, minimizing risk of refractory colitis requiring reoperation, and is the appropriate treatment for the vast majority of patients with IBD who are diagnosed with CRC and require surgical intervention. Segmental colectomy, however, may be considered in select patients with IBD and CRC, specifically in elderly patients with short disease duration, in patients with mild colitis identified preoperatively, in patients with high operative risk and prohibitive comorbidities, and in patients whose CRC appears to be sporadic as opposed to colitis-associated. Patients undergoing segmental resection must be closely surveilled postoperatively for dysplasia, recurrent cancer, and refractory colitis.
Qualitative Research and Applications in Colorectal Surgery
Authors: Vitous C. Ann , Suwanabol Pasithorn A. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractTraditionally employed in medical anthropologic and sociologic literature, qualitative methods are emerging as an essential component of clinical research as surgeons and researchers strive to optimize care informed by patient perspectives. Qualitative methods in health care–related research may be used to understand subjective experiences, beliefs, and concepts that are not captured using quantitative analyses and to gain in-depth knowledge of a specific context or culture. A qualitative approach may also be employed to explore under-researched problems and generate new ideas. Here, we provide an overview of aspects to consider when designing and conducting a qualitative research study.
Small Bowel Carcinoma in the Setting of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Bhatt Himani , Mathis Kellie L. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractSmall bowel carcinomas are rare in the general population, but the incidence is increasing. Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are at significantly higher risk of small bowel adenocarcinomas than their non-IBD counterparts, with Crohn's patients having at least a 12-fold increased risk and ulcerative colitis patients with a more controversial and modest 2-fold increased risk compared with the general population. IBD patients with small bowel carcinomas present with nonspecific symptoms that overlap with typical IBD symptoms, and this results in difficulty making a preoperative diagnosis. Cross-sectional imaging is rarely diagnostic, and most cancers are found incidentally at the time of surgery performed for an IBD indication. As such, most small bowel carcinomas are found at advanced stages and carry a poor prognosis. Oncologic surgical resection is the treatment of choice for patients with locoregional disease with little evidence available to guide adjuvant therapy. Patients with metastatic disease are treated with systemic chemotherapy, and surgery is reserved for palliation in this population. Prognosis is poor with few long-term survivors reported.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBenign breast nodules, thyroid nodules, and myoma of the uterus are similar in etiology and pathogenesis. These three diseases are classified according to accumulation patterns in traditional Chinese medicine theory and can be treated with the same prescription. Yang stagnation is the basic pathogenesis of benign accumulation patterns in young and middle-aged women. Its treatment principle should be “unblocking yang,” and its treating methods should include diffusing yang, warming yang, dissolving phlegm, and dissipating stasis, which can unblock yang qi and dissolve stasis. Meanwhile, heart-nourishing and mind-calming ingredients should be included in the prescriptions to improve the clinical manifestations.

Authors: Haack Sebastian , Mann Steven , Gahl Brigitta , Haug Martin 
Published: March 2023

AbstractReducing postoperative strain on the patient after rhinoplasty is an important goal for the surgeon. Many strategies are described to reach that goal. One strategy is to remove blood from under the dissected soft tissue envelope by drains, before it can infiltrate the different layers causing ecchymosis, edema, and swelling. In our setting with wide degloving and using drains, we could show a significant reduction in ecchymosis on day 2 and 14 after surgery (p = 0.006 and p = 0.017). We also observed a significant effect for edema and general swelling on day 2 (p = 0.027 and p = 0.004), but this effect did not reach significance for these two parameters on day 14. And although the long-term effect needs to be assessed in the future, we found that using drains in open rhinoplasty with wide degloving is an easily applicable, cheap, and reproducible approach to reduce postoperative ecchymosis, edema, and swelling.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBiliary fistula and bile leak are known complications following hepatobiliary surgery, trauma, and percutaneous biliary interventions. In the case of an isolated biliary system with a prolonged indwelling percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) catheter, a biliary-cutaneous fistula (BCF) may develop after catheter blockage or its accidental slippage. Due to the absence of internal drainage, secreted bile flows through the matured PTBD tract to form a fistula. If left untreated, chronic BCF will result in malabsorption, infection, and delayed wound healing. Here, we report a case of left-sided BCF following prolonged PTBD for Bismuth type II cholangiocarcinoma (metastatic disease), which was initially managed by bile duct ablation using N-butyl cyanoacrylate. The patient further needed fistulous tract embolization to obliterate the BCF.
Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock and Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation: Pulling Out All the Stops
Authors: Glazier Margaret Mary , Kaki Amir 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe report the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock and refractory ventricular fibrillation. Following prolonged resuscitation in the emergency room, she was transferred to the cardiac catheterization laboratory where, as a first step, mechanical circulatory support with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was established. Next, a right heart catheterization study was performed, followed by coronary angiography and angioplasty of the infarct-related artery. Promptly on transfer to the intensive care unit, a hypothermia protocol was initiated. By postprocedure day 1, the patient's ventricular fibrillation had resolved, mean arterial pressure was >65 mm Hg, and pulmonary artery diastolic pressure was 10 mm Hg. Echocardiography demonstrated complete recovery of left ventricular systolic function. Lactate levels had fallen from 11.0 mmol/L (pre-ECMO) to 1.2 mmol/L. The patient was successfully weaned off pressor and ECMO support within 24 hours of the percutaneous coronary intervention procedure. She was extubated on postprocedure day 2 and discharged home on day 6. At 26-month follow-up, she remains well, angina free, neurologically intact, and without evidence of heart failure. The treatment algorithm used in this case should be considered favorably in the management of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock and refractory ventricular fibrillation.
The wideband tunability of double Gunn diodes
Authors: Butts L. , El-Ghazaly S. 
Published: March 2023

Gunn diodes use the Ridley–Watkins–Hilsum effect to generate low noise millimeter wave signals for communication and sensing applications. However, Monte Carlo calculations indicate that the velocity–field characteristics of compensated GaAs contain a second peak due to phonon scattering. A novel device that leverages this double Ridley–Watkins–Hilsum effect to achieve ultra-wideband tunability of low-noise millimeter waves is proposed in this article. The second region of negative differential mobility is gradually introduced in seven mobility profiles, which are each simulated in eight device lengths. It is found that a 2.5 μm Gunn diode with a compensation ratio of 0.6 operating at 160 K has a 700% increase in frequency tunability. An analysis of the domain formation indicates that the increase in tunability is due to significant distortions in domain shape. Gunn diodes with transit lengths of 2 μm and smaller show a 100% increase in tunability due to modulations in the effective transit length and absorption rate. These simulations indicate that compensated GaAs could provide linear, ultra-wideband frequency tunability.
A silent call for a socially and ecologically just One Health approach
Authors: Ferdowsian Hope 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In 1962, the world began reading biologist Rachel Carson’s warnings of a silent spring, which challenged the claim that humans are separate from nature. Carson wrote of a hidden danger—a synthetic insecticide known as DDT—threatening human and nonhuman lives. She warned of how birdless skies and fishless waterways foreshadowed what could happen to humans—ultimately ushering in an environmental movement and a transformation in national and international policy.

One Health Impact Statement
This article is an invited commentary that illustrates the need for a socially and ecologically just One Health approach and how the author arrived at this evidence-based view throughout her own medical and public health career.
Efficient inference in the transverse field Ising model
Authors: Domínguez E , Kappen H J 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In this paper we introduce an approximate method to solve the quantum cavity equations for transverse field Ising models. The method relies on a projective approximation of the exact cavity distributions of imaginary time trajectories (paths). A key feature, novel in the context of similar algorithms, is the explicit separation of the classical and quantum parts of the distributions. Numerical simulations show accurate results in comparison with the sampled solution of the cavity equations, the exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian (when possible) and other approximate inference methods in the literature. The computational complexity of this new algorithm scales linearly with the connectivity of the underlying lattice, enabling the study of highly connected networks, as the ones often encountered in quantum machine learning problems.

Published: March 2023

AbstractZooplankton are primary consumers and serves as a crucial connection between primary producers and consumers in the aquatic food chain and higher consumers. Plankton is consumed by more than 75% of fish species at some point throughout their life. Supply of live feed cultures is critical to the expansion of aquaculture enterprises, particularly the larviculture sector, which generates fish and crustacean seeds for grow-out businesses. However, zooplankton is rarely farmed in high enough densities to be commercially viable on a large scale. This is owing to dynamic changes in physicochemical conditions in the culture system, which would normally result in a shift in the reproduction pathway from parthenogenetic to sexual, which creates resting eggs and reduces overall live feed output. The density of these live feed organisms can alter in response to environmental conditions such as eutrophication due to an excess of nutrients, acidification, pollution, salinity intrusion, and other factors that occur within the system. The water quality and food supply in the system have a big impact on zooplankton population dynamics, especially in a culture environment. The goal of this review is to have a better understanding of the many strategies for growing zooplankton utilizing various fertilization methods in order to maintain a constant population density. This review focusing on the density of zooplankton, the biological responses of live feed to fertilization, and common challenges that farmers face in the culture. In particular, we (i) examine the many zooplankton culture techniques that have been developed over time, (ii) explain the biological reactions of zooplankton to changes in culture conditions, and (iii) show the frequent issues as-sociated with live feed culture.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
One of the ecosystems inhabited by many types of fish is a river. Kuning River is one of the rivers in Sleman Regency, D.I. Yogyakarta, which upstream is located at Mount Merapi. In 2010 there was a large cold lava flood in the Yellow River from Mount Merapi. So far, no identification of fish species in the river has been carried out. The purpose of the study was to determine the types of fish in the Yellow River (both local and introduced) and the state of the abiotic environment. The method used is purposive sampling with three research stations. Each station is divided into three sampling points. The fish samples obtained were identified in the Biology laboratory of Ahmad Dahlan University. Based on the identification, there are a total of 16 species of fish, with 13 local species, namely; Barbodes binotatus (cakul), Hampala macrolepidota (palung), Mystacoleucus obtusirostris (kepek), Rasbora argyrotaenia (wader pari), Labiobarbus leptocheilus (lukas), Barbonymus gonionotus (tawes), Osteochilus vittatus (nilem), Nemacheilus fasciatus (kepala timah), Channa gachua (kotes), Channa striata (gabus), Trichopodus trichopter (sepat), and Dermogenys pusilla (cucut tawar) and 3 introducedspecies, namely; Poecilia reticulata (gupi), Xiphophorus helleri (ekor pedangl), and Amphilopus labiatusus (red devil). Abiotic parameters in the Yellow River, Sleman Regency, DIY; average temperature, water pH, current strength, dissolved oxygen (DO) indicate normal conditions for fish survival.

Abstract
Grouper are demersal fishes that can be found in tropical and subtropical waters. In Indonesia, one of the areas where grouper production takes place in Saleh Bay, a semi-enclosed water with small islands, coral reefs and a high diversity. Information’s about the population and abundance of grouper species in Saleh Bay are currently limited. The benefits of this research are to enhance the availability of information on grouper diversity and the area as grouper fishing ground for future improvement on grouper fisheries management in Saleh Bay. Therefore, the study aimed to analyse the diversity, equitability, species richness and dominance index of different grouper species and the grouper fishing ground in this area. The data were obtained from field observations and fish landing data. Grouper caught have been calculated for each fishing gear based on the following parameters: diversity index (Shannon-Wiener), species richness, equitability, and dominance index. The results showed that grouper fishing grounds are spread over Saleh Bay. Fishers caught grouper around small islands with coral reefs. The diversity of grouper for each fishing gear ranged in a moderate category. We found that the bottom longline caught the highest species richness of grouper compare to other fishing gears. The dominance index showed no dominance using each examined fishing gear, or it can be said that grouper species are evenly caught with each fishing gear based on the calculation of the equitability index.
