Authors: Riazi Abbas , Gharebaghi Reza , Heidary Fatemeh 
Published: February 2023

Background: Low vision is a major public health concern worldwide. This study was aimed at describing the characteristics of patients who had visited a low-vision rehabilitation clinic.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of patients with low vision attending a low-vision rehabilitation clinic at a tertiary referral center over 7 years. Inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of vision impairment and availability of complete records. We extracted the following data from each record: age, sex, education level, employment status, chief complaints concerning vision, associated ocular diseases, uncorrected distance and near visual acuities, best-corrected distance and near visual acuities, statuses of previous and current prescribed optical devices, and cooperation status of patients during the optometric examination.
Results: We enrolled a total of 567 patients, including 338 (59.6%) men and 229 (40.4%) women, with a mean (standard deviation) age of 40.46 (28.34) years. Most (98.4%) participants were cooperative, with a high rate of unemployment (90.5%) and low education level. Half (49.2%) of the patients had moderate visual impairment. Retinal pathologies, mainly congenital (28.4%), and age-related macular degeneration (ARMD; 26.5%) were common causes of low vision. Difficulty in reading was the most frequent complaint (22.9%), and a combination of difficulties in reading, writing, and facial recognition was recorded in 54.7% of the patients. Other functional complaints were reported by at least 5% of the patients. Our multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the likelihood of difficulties in performing in-house activities, reading, facial recognition and social interaction, and driving increased per 10-year increment in age, with odds ratios of 1.39, 1.31, 1.24, and 1.22, respectively (all P < 0.05). The likelihood of reporting three complaints (reading, writing, and facial recognition together) increased per 0.1-logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution increment in the best-corrected distance visual acuity of the better eye, with an odds ratio of 2.05 (P < 0.05). In addition, men were more likely to experience difficulties in driving and reading, while women were more likely to experience difficulties in facial recognition and social interaction or in-house activities (all P < 0.05). Optical devices for distance or near vision were prescribed to most patients.
Conclusions: Most patients were men and unemployed. The most common category of low vision was moderate impairment. Retinal conditions, mainly congenital ones and ARMD, were the most frequent causes. A combination of difficulties in reading, writing, and facial recognition was the most common complaint. Optometrists should address these findings during rehabilitation therapy to treat patients with low vision.
Spruce bark beetles (Ips typographus) cause up to 700 times higher bark BVOC emission rates compared to healthy Norway spruce (Picea abies)

Abstract. Biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions from trees subjected to
biotic stress are higher compared to healthy trees, and they may also have a
different compound composition. This in turn affects atmospheric chemistry
and can lead to either positive or negative feedback to the climate.
Climate change favors the abundance of the European spruce bark beetle
(Ips typographus) which attacks the bark of Norway spruce (Picea abies) trees, causing induced BVOC
emissions from the trees as a response to the insect stress. Here, results
are reported from a study analyzing the difference in emission rates between
healthy and bark-beetle-infested Norway spruce trees, changes in emission
rates over time since the infestation started, and differences in emission
rates from bark-beetle-drilled entry and exit holes. Bark chamber measurements on both healthy and infested trees were performed
during the summer of 2019 at Hyltemossa and Norunda research stations in
Sweden. The measurements showed that induced BVOC emissions following the
bark beetle infestation were dominated by entry hole emissions in the early
growing season and exit hole emissions in the later season. The results
showed a significant difference in emission rates between healthy and
infested trees during both seasons. The seasonal average standardized BVOC
emission rate of healthy trees was 32 ± 52 µg m−2 h−1 (mean ± standard deviation), while the average standardized BVOC emission rates of infested trees were 6700 ± 6900 and 2000 ± 1300 µg m−2 h−1 during the early and late season respectively. BVOC emission
rates were highest at the start of the infestation and decreased
exponentially with time, showing induced emission rates for up to 1 year
after which the emission rates were similar to those from healthy bark.
Constitutive needle emission rates from healthy trees were found to be 11 times higher than bark emissions from healthy trees. However, when Norway spruce trees were infested, the bark emission rates were instead 6 to 20 times higher than the needle emissions, causing substantial increases in the total tree BVOC emission rate. This could lead to high impacts on
atmospheric processes, specifically the formation of secondary organic
aerosols, which have a higher yield from some monoterpene compounds, which
increased from infested trees.
CHELSA-TraCE21k – high-resolution (1 km) downscaled transient temperature and precipitation data since the Last Glacial Maximum

Published: February 2023

Abstract. High-resolution, downscaled climate model data are used
in a wide variety of applications across environmental sciences. Here we
introduce a new, high-resolution dataset, CHELSA-TraCE21k. It is obtained by
downscaling TraCE-21k data, using the “Climatologies at high resolution for
the earth's land surface areas” (CHELSA) V1.2 algorithm with the objective to
create global monthly climatologies for temperature and precipitation at
30 arcsec spatial resolution in 100-year time steps for the last 21 000
years. Paleo-orography at high spatial resolution and for each time step is
created by combining high-resolution information on glacial cover from
current and Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) glacier databases and interpolations
using data from a global model of glacial isostasy (ICE-6G_C) and a coupling to mean annual temperatures from TraCE21k (Transient
Climate Evolution of the last 21 000 years) based on the Community Climate
System Model version 3 (CCSM3). Based on the reconstructed paleo-orography,
mean annual temperature and precipitation were downscaled using the CHELSA
V1.2 algorithm. The data were validated by comparisons with the glacial
extent of the Laurentide ice sheet based on expert delineations, proxy data
from Greenland ice cores, historical climate data from meteorological
stations, and a dynamic simulation of species distributions throughout the
Holocene. Validations show that the CHELSA-TraCE21k V1.0 dataset reasonably
represents the distribution of temperature and
precipitation through time at an unprecedented 1 km spatial resolution, and
simulations based on the data are capable of detecting known LGM refugia of
species.
Correlation Between Placental Histomorphology and Umbilical Cord Coiling Index in Preeclampsia

Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND
Preeclampsia is a common hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and one of the leading causes of maternal health complications and death globally. Both preeclampsia and abnormal umbilical coiling have been reported to alter the structure of the placenta significantly. Cases of preeclampsia and either of the two abnormal coiling states; hypercoiling or hypocoiling, occurring in the same pregnancy have been documented. The type of abnormal coiling associated with preeclampsia varies in different populations. The extent of changes in the placenta in preeclampsia coupled with either of the two is unknown. The current study aimed at determining which of the coiling state significantly alters the structure of the placentae of mothers with preeclampsia and therefore, predisposes them to more adverse perinatal outcomes.

METHODs
An unmatched case-control study was carried out in Kenyatta National Hospital labor ward and maternity theatre. Seventy (70) placentae from mothers with diagnosis of preeclampsia (cases) and mothers without complicated pregnancy (controls) were collected. The length of the cord and the number of coils was measured to calculate the coiling index. A gross placental examination was carried out followed by biopsy and tissue processing for light microscopy. Slides were photographed and several histological features analyzed in the terminal villi. Data from this study was input into SPSS (Version 21.0) where mean values, standard deviations, and frequency tables were obtained. Appropriate parametric and non-parametric tests were used where needed. A P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS
In the current study, the mean umbilical cord coiling index (UCI) in cases and controls was 0.40 ± 0.18 and 0.22 ± 0.08 coils/cm respectively. Cases had a significantly greater UCI than controls (P = < 0.001). All placentae in the case hypocoiled subdivision had infarctions and were meconium stained. The mean placental weight was 519 g and 578 g respectively in cases and controls and the difference was found to be significant (p = 0.031). In cases and controls, the gross placental volume was 542 cm3 and 638 cm3, respectively. There was a significant difference in placental volume between cases and controls, and between subdivisions (p = < 0.001 and 0.028 respectively). The case hypocoiled subdivision had the highest absolute volume of villous stroma, fibrin deposition, syncytial knots and the lowest fetal capillary surface area.

CONCLUSION
Hypocoiling was associated with alteration of the structure of the placenta in preeclampsia more than it was observed in hypercoiling. Early detection of hypocoiling using ultrasound in pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia may help clinicians in identification of cases that warrant close antenatal and intrapartum monitoring thus reducing adverse perinatal outcomes.
Peroneal Nerve Injury Due to Hip Surgery Located at the Knee Level: A Case Report
Authors: Mićić Aleksa , Radojević Stefan , Rasulić Lukas 
Published: February 2023

Background: The hip surgery may be complicated with an iatrogenic peroneal nerve injury. The spontaneous recovery of these patients is usually poor, and majority of them require additional surgical treatment. In this paper, we presented a case of iatrogenic peroneal nerve injury following posttraumatic hip surgery, which was decompressed at the knee level, and achieved complete postoperative recovery.
The case: A 32-year-old woman was admitted to our department due to EMNG-verified peroneal nerve lesion. Eight months before, the patient was injured in a traffic accident, followed by knee dislocation, hip dislocation, and acetabular fracture. After open reduction of the acetabular fracture performed by the orthopedic surgeons, the peroneal nerve palsy followed. At the admission, the clinical findings included left sided incomplete peroneal nerve palsy (MRC=2), pain in the lateral lower leg (VAS=3), and gait disturbances. Using EMNG, the nerve lesion was located at the knee level, while US indicated suspectable nerve compression, due to visible nerve thickening. The PNSQoL and SF-36 scores indicated a significant decline in patients' quality of life (QOL). Following GETA, the external neurolysis, decompression, and complete nerve deliberation were performed at the knee level, with preservation of all nerve branches. The patient reported immediate relief, while completely recovered 8 months following the surgery (MRC = 5, VAS = 0). In order to assess postoperative QOL, a prolonged follow-up is needed.
Conclusion: The iatrogenic peroneal nerve injury following hip surgery may not always be located in the hip region. A proper anamnesis, physical examination, and diagnostic evaluation are necessary for proper treatment of these patients.

Aim: To compare the course of severe community-acquired pneumonia caused by Kl. pneumonia in patients with acute lymphoblastic and myeloblastic leukaemia.Materials and methods. The study was designed as a retrospective, single-centre, controlled and non-randomized study and included 40 patients. They were divided into two groups: patients with acute myeloblastic leukaemia (22), mortality of 59% (13 patients) and patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (18), mortality of 38% (7 patients).Results and discussion. The combination of acute myeloblastic leukaemia and severe community-acquired pneumonia caused by Kl. pneumonia showed a higher mortality rate, a longer duration of respiratory support, as well as a greater frequency of involvement of organs and systems in the infectious process than in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.Conclusions: The development of pneumonia caused by Kl. pneumonia in patients with acute myeloblastic leukaemia is characterized by a more severe course. SOFA, APACHE-II, and PSI/PORT scales have limited predictive ability in patients with acute leukaemia and severe community-acquired pneumonia caused by Kl. Pneumoniae.

Maternal health is one of the eight Millennium Development Goals, is central to poverty reduction and overall development, and it increased international attention for monitoring progress on maternal health and improving access to skilled attendants at deliveries. In Kenya, 44 percent of births are delivered under the supervision of a health professional, mainly a nurse or midwife. Traditional birth attendants continue to play a vital role in delivery, assisting with 28 percent of births. This research paper aimed to study in relation to the utilization of skilled delivery services, the knowledge of the danger signs of pregnancy in Maasai women, the study population belonging to a community of nomadic life style in North of Kajiado County in Kenya. The study design was a cross sectional descriptive study adopting both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The sample size was 264 women of reproductive age obtained by using formula given by Fisher et al. when the population is more than 10,000.The quantitative data has been analyzed using (SPSS) version 17.0 while the qualitative data was analyzed by summarizing of the themes. Results show that 7.6% of Maasai women consult their mother in law, husbands make most of the decisions 40.2% on the place of delivery of the expectant mothers whereas as the relatives make the least decisions 5.7%. Preparation of the expectant mother for delivery did not have a statistical significant p-0.046.The traditional rite of passage practices had no statistical significance p -0.190. 72% of women could mention at least one correct danger sign for pregnancy out of the posssible four. 97.7% of the Maasai women take more than 1hour to reach to the nearest health facility and less than 1% of them take less than 30minutes to reach to the health facility.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Pott’s disease or spinal tuberculosis is feared by its neurological damages. The study aimed to indicate and solve the diagnostic and therapeutic problems met in its neurosurgical management.
Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted during 3 and half years (2015-2018) about
36 patients from three neurosurgical centers in Madagascar: CHUJRA, CENHOSOA and CHU FIANARANTSOA.
Results: Pott’s disease had an incidence of 10 cases/year. The mean age was 37 years and the sex ratio was 0.9. Most of the patients came from rural regions (65%). The average of consultation delay was about 16 months. Neurological deficits were observed at 69.4 % and complete paraplegic at 47.2 % at the beginning of hospitalization. The delay of consultation upper to 6 months was significantly correlated in the paraplegia (p-value = 0,002). Spinal injuries had shown by MRI only in 19.4 % and by a spinal CT in 69.4 %. Over 83.3 % of patients needed a neurosurgical intervention while only 52.8 % were able to be operated. Anterior approach offered best results with 83.3 % of neurological recuperation in 3 months. Conclusion: The insidious installation of the disease, the diagnostic delay, the pecuniary insufficiency, the expensive cost of MRI and surgical implants are the main difficulties met in neurosurgical management of Pott’s disease. Anterior approach is the surgical technique the most adapted to the advanced Pott’s disease.

Abstract: Lightweight materials are highly demanded in electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce environmental impacts and energy consumption. Aluminium alloys are promising materials in EVs due to their advantages such as high specific strength, corrosion resistance and recyclability. However, forming complex-shaped thin-wall aluminium products is challenging due to their poor formability and limited dimensional accuracy. Meanwhile, recycling some of the high-strength aluminium alloys from EVs is still challenging. This review highlights some of the future potential aluminium forming techniques for EV production, including incremental sheet forming (ISF), hot forming and quenching (HFQ ® ) technique, and transverse stretching and local bending (TSLB). Also, the issues associated with aluminium recycling are listed and discussed. This review provides scientific guidance to the industry and the scientific community for advancing the applications of aluminium alloys in EVs.
