Authors: Minervini Fabrizio , Lau Esther , Begum Housne , Shargall Yaron 
Published: January 2025

AIM: Timing of chest tube removal post lung resection is variable in practice and often based on personal experience rather than evidence. The current practice in chest tube management among thoracic surgeons across Canada is so far unknown. Our primary aim was to assess the current status of chest tube removal in Canada in order to uncover potential shortcomings.
METHODS: An online anonymous survey was emailed to members of Canadian Association of Thoracic Surgeons in order to better understand the status quo of the chest tubes' removal policy in the different departments preparing the grounds for suggesting a future uniformity. Data were collected and analysed with descriptive statistics. A linear regression analysis was performed in order to understand the factors related to chest tube removal.
RESULTS: Sixty responses were received (44.4% response rate). Most surgeons place a single chest tube in both open (75%, 45/60) and minimally invasive lobectomies (93.3%, 56/60). Digital drainage systems are used by half of the surgeons surveyed. A quarter of the respondents report removing chest tubes regardless of drainage output. This practice was independent of the surgeons' number of years in practice (p = 0.127), number of lobectomies performed annually (p = 0.877), proportion of lobectomies performed minimally invasively (p = 0.259), whether digital drainage system is used (p = 0.141) and whether the surgeon is aware of the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) guideline (p = 0.374). Of those who remove chest tubes based on fluid output, thresholds vary widely; a significant proportion (86%, 37/43) uses a volume lower than the 450 mL/24 h threshold set out ERAS. Most respondents (77%) were interested in a clinical trial studying chest tube removal independent of drainage volume.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated ongoing diverse practice amongst thoracic surgeons in Canada with regards to post-operative chest tube management, indicating a much-needed area of research.
Risk Factors for Hypothermia during Laparoscopic or Open Surgery of Colorectal Cancer under General Anesthesia
Authors: Tu Yi-Hui , Zhang Di 
Published: January 2025

AIM: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies, which is commonly treated with curative surgical resection, often leading to intraoperative hypothermia. Therefore, this study aimed to compare and analyze the risk factors for intraoperative hypothermia associated with laparoscopic and open CRC resections under general anesthesia.
METHODS: This study included 120 CRC patients admitted between January 2023 and January 2024. Data from these patients were analyzed using logistic regression analysis to investigate the risk factors for hypothermia during CRC surgery. Additionally, surgical indicators such as, intraoperative bleeding volume, number of lymph nodes dissected, and operation time, and serum inflammatory markers like Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Interleukin-8 (IL-8) were assessed and compared between the two surgical groups.
RESULTS: The study group comprised 41 men and 79 women, with a mean age of 52.53 ± 8.90 years and an average body mass index (BMI) of 23.13 ± 3.32 kg/m2. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score was measured as 1 for 62 (51.67%) patients and 2 for 58 (48.33%). Among them, 50 patients underwent open surgery, whereas 70 patients were treated with laparoscopic surgery. Gender, laparoscopic surgery, intraoperative fluid infusion volume, prolonged anesthesia, and intraoperative blood transfusion were determined as the independent risk factors for intraoperative hypothermia during CRC surgery under general anesthesia (p < 0.05). The intraoperative bleeding volume was significantly reduced (p < 0.01), with significantly longer operation time (p < 0.05) in patients treated with laparoscopic surgery compared to those with open surgery. However, the two groups had a similar number of lymph nodes dissected. Additionally, the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in both laparoscopic and open surgery of patients increased significantly after surgery, but the extent of increase in the patients of laparoscopic surgery was significantly lower than that in the patients of open surgery (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, gender, surgical approach, intraoperative fluid infusion volume, prolonged anesthesia, and intraoperative blood transfusion are the potential risk factors for hypothermia during laparoscopic radical CRC surgery under general anesthesia.

Published: January 2025

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of ureteral calculi based on decision tree model.
METHODS: A total of 600 patients with ureteral calculi, including 289 treated with FURL and 311 cases with ESWL in Anqing Municipal Hospital from June 2021 to August 2023, were selected as study subjects. Perioperative indicators and stone clearance rate of the two groups were compared, and the preoperative and postoperative (24 and 72 hours) changes of serum creatinine, cystatin C (Cys-C) and microalbumin were observed. The complications during and 7 days after treatment, the influence of perioperative indexes, total stone removal rate and renal function indexes were analyzed using decision tree method, and a complication risk prediction model was constructed.
RESULTS: The operation time, length of hospital stays and postoperative hematuria time in FURL group were shorter than those in ESWL group (p < 0.001), and the usage of painkillers was less frequent in FURL group than in ESWL group (p = 0.002). The total stone removal rate in the FURL group was higher than that in the ESWL group (p < 0.001). Serum creatinine, urinary microalbumin and Cys-C in both groups were lower before surgery than at 24 h and 72 h after surgery (p < 0.05). Serum creatinine, urinary microalbumin and Cys-C in FURL group were lower than those in the ESWL group at 24 and 72 h after operation (p < 0.001). The overall complication rate in the FURL group was lower than that in the ESWL group (p = 0.028). Decision tree model analysis showed that four explanatory variables, including preoperative creatinine, urinary microalbumin, Cys-C and surgical method were identified by screening. The risk statistic of the model was 0.027, and the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the model in predicting postoperative complications in patients with ureteral calculi were 97.33%, 97.73% and 97.30%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: FURL has significant advantages over ESWL in the treatment of ureteral calculi, and has less impact on renal function and fewer complications. Preoperative creatinine, urinary microalbumin, Cys-C and surgical methods may adversely influence the occurrence of postoperative complications. These identified factors can be employed to build a decision tree model for predicting the occurrence of postoperative complications.

Published: January 2025

AIM: Gastric twist is a rare, however, troublesome complication of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This report describes a case complicated by perforation and leak in addition to twist. The patient was managed conservatively and successfully.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 29-year-old female patient with a body mass index (BMI) of 41.3 kg/m2 (111 kg/1.64 m), who underwent gastric band insertion six years ago, recently experienced postprandial vomiting. Endoscopic examination revealed grade A esophagitis, minor antral gastropathy, and mild bulbar duodenitis. Her BMI was calculated at 33.1 kg/m2 (89 kg/1.64 m). One week later, she had a laparoscopic band removal and sleeve gastrectomy using an endo GIA Tri-stapler. Both the surgical and postoperative periods proceeded without complications, and she was discharged home the next day after surgery. The patient was readmitted after two weeks due to an organo-axial gastric volvulus, which was managed with stent placement. Six weeks following, a stomach leak and peri splenic fluid collection were diagnosed. A 12 mm Ovesco clip was employed to seal a perforation situated 35 cm from the incisors. Subsequently, a MEGA bariatric stent was placed.
RESULTS: Two months after the removal of the MEGA stent, the patient had recovered completely and was in good health.
CONCLUSIONS: Gastric twist after sleeve gastrectomy is a rare condition; a high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis. Prioritize conservative treatment to prevent the risk of revisional surgery.

Published: January 2025

The subject of this study is the regulation of public relations proposed by the Federal Customs Service and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation related to the automatic distribution of electronic customs declarations for goods between authorized electronic declaration centers using the customs information system, in particular, provided for by the current version of the draft order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation "On the powers of customs authorities to register customs declarations". Special attention in terms of argumentation of the need and specifics of the legal justification and regulatory consolidation of dispatching is paid to the positive effects of such a mechanism, which, in the author's opinion, are an integral manifestation and condition of full-scale digitalization and automation of customs authorities, established as a target for the development of the customs service of the Russian Federation until 2030, designed to ensure operational regulation and redistribution of the declarative array. To optimize the burden on officials, shorten the period of release of goods, simplify and accelerate customs operations, ensure uninterrupted registration of electronic customs declarations, and eliminate the possibility of interaction between declarants and customs officials is aimed at reducing the likelihood of corruption offenses. The authors used both general scientific methods (abstraction, induction, deduction, hypothesis, analogy, synthesis, typology, classification, systematization, generalization, and others) The same applies to special methods of scientific knowledge typical of jurisprudence (comparative law, historical, formal law, legal hermeneutics, system-structural, legal modeling, and others). The novelty of the scientific research lies in the applied proposals developed on the basis of the results of a comprehensive analysis of the existing sources of the EAEU law and the legislation of the member states on customs regulation, law enforcement practice regarding the legal justification of dispatching customs declarations in the Russian Federation as an integral direction in the implementation of strategic directions for the development of the customs service, providing for the formation by 2030 of a qualitatively new, rich "artificial intelligence", a rapidly reconfigurable, informationally connected with internal and external partners, a "smart" customs service that is invisible to law-abiding businesses and effective for the state, especially in terms of creating a "smart", flexible, information-rich, self-adjusting risk management system, as well as implementing and improving the effectiveness of the anti-corruption mechanism in in the customs sphere.

Published: January 2025

O presente artigo analisa a tradução midiática da Operação Lava- Jato no período 04/03/2016 a 07/05/2018. Tal empenho mobiliza inauguralmente uma sistematização das distintas noções do conceito corrupção dentro da Ciências Sociais, assume no desenvolvimento da pesquisa uma determinada premissa epistemológica, essa associada ao paradigma simbólico do fenômeno, que circunscreve múltiplos agentes no cenário denominado escândalo político, cuja resultado constitui um campo de disputa para formular a versão dominante do que é Oficial e do Universal dentro do Estado (Bourdieu,2014), explora através desse preceito teórico um modelo de posicionamento relacional que expressa tanto os agentes selecionados, como suas estruturas correspondentes dos mesmos em um plano bidimensional cartesiano. Feito isso, explora através de uma estrutura de agentes específica, a saber, a mídia especializada, a sua tomada de posição na escolha linguística em imputar o termo corrupção, cuja a investigação descreve se o mesmo é arbitrado em uma lógica de classes, isto é, em face às estruturas, ou, atomista, em torno dos agentes, o que poderia inferir de alguma maneira em traços constitutivos na percepção da corrupção ao grande público.

Aims: The aim of the study is to find the effect of chitosan-based edible films on the sensory and microbiological characteristics of ready-to-eat paneer during storage at ambient and refrigeration temperature.
Study Design: This study was experimental and conducted in a lab.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the Department of Dairy Technology, Dairy Science College, Hebbal, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, between October 2022 and July 2023.
Methodology: The ready to eat paneer prepared with 5 % fructooligosaccharides, 40 % sugar and 15 % orange juice will be aseptically wrapped with chitosan based edible film made of 1.5% chitosan and 0.75% glycerol. The product will be analysed at both ambient temperature (27±1°C) with 1days interval and refrigeration temperature (4±1°C) with 3 days interval. Sensory analysis by 9-point hedonic scale and microbial analysis of standard plate count, coliforms count, yeast and mold count were assessed. ANOVA was the method used for statistical analysis, and the significance between the control and sample was assessed using a critical difference (CD) at a 5% significance level.
Results: The sensory attributes ratings of the control paneer and edible chitosan film packed ready to eat paneer samples are non-significant (P>0.05) to each other and decreased consistently throughout storage at both conditions. Throughout storage, the coliform count was undetectable. The initial yeast and mold count of the chitosan film-packed ready-to-eat paneer was 0.48 log₁₀ cfu/g, and the standard plate count was 2.30 log₁₀ cfu/g. Both counts increased during storage but remained significantly (P<0.05) lower than those in the control paneer.
Conclusion: The storage studies revealed that control paneer can be stored for 1 days at ambient temperature and 6 days at refrigeration temperature without any spoilage and chitosan film packed ready to eat paneer can be stored for 2 days at ambient temperature and 9 days at refrigeration temperature without any spoilage.
Cognitive offloading benefits eye gaze interaction

Published: June 2023

AbstractFor some people with strong motor impairments, controlling a computer with the eyes is the only possibility for human‐computer interaction. In addition, gaze control is becoming a new option as an input device for the general population as well because of the increasing availability of eye‐tracking technology. Yet, little is known about additional cognitive demands involved in gaze control and how to handle potentially high demands when using the eyes not only for perception but also for action. The present study shows that cognitive offloading improves performance when using gaze control. Memory for to‐be‐studied items benefitted significantly from saving another set of items just studied before for later restudy. Employing cognitive offloading in a targeted manner may be a useful means to assist in mastering eye‐gaze control.
The forward testing effect after a 1‐day delay across dissimilar video lessons
Authors: Parong Jocelyn , Green C. Shawn 
Published: June 2023

AbstractBeing tested on previously learned material has been shown to enhance the learning of subsequently encountered material (i.e., the forward testing effect). Some cognitive theories predict that the magnitude of the forward testing effect is not dependent on the content in the previously learned and to‐be‐learned material (content‐general theories), while other theories predict that it does depends on the similarity (content‐specific theories). To adjudicate between these broad theories, participants viewed one of four lessons that were similar or dissimilar on two dimensions, academic domain and presentation structure, relative to a second lesson. After the first lesson, participants were either tested or restudied the material. Then they viewed the second lesson and were tested on the material. Results showed an overall forward testing effect across all four lessons, and the magnitude of the effect was not significantly different between the lessons, providing support for content‐general theories of the forward testing effect.
A Photoreceptor‐Based Hydrogel with Red Light‐Responsive Reversible Sol‐Gel Transition as Transient Cellular Matrix

Published: June 2023

AbstractHydrogels with adjustable mechanical properties have been engineered as matrices for mammalian cells and allow the dynamic, mechano‐responsive manipulation of cell fate and function. Recent research yields hydrogels, where biological photoreceptors translated optical signals into a reversible and adjustable change in hydrogel mechanics. While their initial application provides important insights into mechanobiology, broader implementation is limited by a small dynamic range of addressable stiffness. Herein, this limitation is overcome by developing a photoreceptor‐based hydrogel with reversibly adjustable stiffness from ≈800 Pa to the sol state. The hydrogel is based on star‐shaped polyethylene glycol, functionalized with the red/far‐red light photoreceptor phytochrome B (PhyB), or phytochrome‐interacting factor 6 (PIF6). Upon illumination with red light, PhyB heterodimerizes with PIF6, thus crosslinking the polymers and resulting in gelation. However, upon illumination with far‐red light, the proteins dissociate and trigger a complete gel‐to‐sol transition. The hydrogel's light‐responsive mechanical properties are comprehensively characterized and it is applied as a reversible extracellular matrix for the spatiotemporally controlled deposition of mammalian cells within a microfluidic chip. It is anticipated that this technology will open new avenues for the site‐ and time‐specific positioning of cells and will contribute to overcome spatial restrictions.
