Authors: Parelkar Sandesh V. , Sanghvi Beejal V. , Tiwari Pooja , Gupta Rahul , Shah Rujuta 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Posterior sagittal is a very well accepted approach in the treatment of anorectal malformations. This approach provides good access and exposure through the perineum to the deep pelvic structures. It reduces risk of injury to important structures as dissection remains in midline.

Aims and Objectives:
To access feasibility of posterior sagittal approach for non-anorectal malformation indications and to widen the spectrum.

Material and Methods:
We present a series of 10 cases of non-anorectal malformations operated by this approach for 4 years.

Results:
Six patients included in the study were of Disorders of Sexual Differentiation with pseudovagina, three of Y duplication of the urethra, and one of cervical atresia. All patients had good results.

Conclusion:
Posterior sagittal approach is feasible, safe with minimal bleeding, and no postoperative incontinence. It can safely be used for non-anorectal indications.

Authors: Kumar Nitin , Gadgade Bahubali Deepak , Shivapur Achyuth Ananth , Radhakrishna Veerabhadra , Vasudev Raghunath Bangalore 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Achalasia cardia is a neuromuscular disorder of unknown etiology characterized by aperistalsis of the body of the esophagus and failure of relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. The diagnosis of achalasia cardia is delayed due to the rarity and the ability to mimic other common conditions in children. Hence, a study was conducted to evaluate the clinical presentation and the management of achalasia cardia in children.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective observational study was conducted in the department of pediatric surgery at a tertiary center. The children with achalasia cardia who presented between January 2014 and December 2021 were included.

Results:
A total of 12 patients were treated for achalasia cardia during the study period. All children presented with recurrent episodes of vomiting, whereas dysphagia was seen in six (50%) children. Eighty-three percent of the children presented with a history of weight loss, whereas failure to thrive was seen in nine (75%) children. Five (42%) children were managed as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) for more than a year before presenting to us. Three (25%) children underwent open cardiomyotomy with Thal fundoplication and the rest nine (75%) underwent laparoscopic cardiomyotomy. All are thriving well.

Conclusion:
Achalasia is an important differential diagnosis in children with suspected GERD. The most common symptom of achalasia cardia is vomiting followed by dysphagia. Weight loss and failure to thrive are important presenting features in children with achalasia which are uncommon in adults. Cardiomyotomy without fundoplication is safe and effective to treat achalasia cardia in children without having any extra complications.
Is an Antireflux Procedure Necessary for a Successful Appendicostomy? The Simplified Malone Antegrade Continence Enema Procedure
Authors: Karmarkar S. J. , Sushma Achugatla , Bangar A. P. , Krishnan J. 
Published: September 2023

Aim:
The aim of this study was to present the long-term institutional experience and outcomes of our Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE) procedure using the proximal appendix without any antireflux procedure.

Materials and Methods:
A single-center prospective study of 29 children undergoing a simplified Malone antegrade continence enema (SMACE) procedure from 2006 to 2017 was conducted using the appendix, whole or split. The mean follow-up period was 11.5 years (ranging from 5 to 16 years).

Results:
In 25 children, the proximal appendix was used, and in 4 cases, the whole appendix was used as a conduit. On follow-up, the MACE channel has been working well in 29/29 patients. Among the complications, seven patients had stomal stenosis, which was managed by home dilatation. There was no reflux of stools seen in any of the patients.

Conclusion:
The SMACE procedure, without incorporating an antireflux mechanism, is technically simpler and saves operative time. Most importantly, the results are satisfactory and comparable with procedures using antireflux techniques.
Determining the Clinical Value of Routine Post Operative Follow up in Common Paediatric Surgical Conditions
Authors: Menon Revathy , Pathak Manish , Nayak Shubhalaxmi , Gupta Manoj Kumar , Saxena Rahul , Jadhav Avinash , Rathod Kirtikumar , Sinha Arvind 
Published: September 2023

Background:
The traditional postoperative visit consists of an in-person hospital visit at a predetermined date which requires the investment of time and resources. This implies a need to prioritize visits rather than mandating them, which can be assessed by the requirement of clinical intervention at the time of follow-up. The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical value of routine postoperative physical follow-up in common pediatric surgery conditions, to identify factors determining follow–up, and to estimate the cost of routine follow-up.

Materials and Methods:
Surgical data of 226 patients admitted for routine pediatric surgical procedures were collected. The postoperative period was documented in detail and interventions done either physically or telephonically at the time of follow-up were used as a proxy measure of clinical value.

Results:
There were 226 patients enrolled, of which 64.60% followed up physically in outpatient department and 35.40% followed up telephonically. Maximum percentage of patients with postoperative complications belonged to the group of laparotomy at 22.22%, followed by complicated appendicitis at 15.62%. 13.27% of patients required clinical intervention at the time of follow-up.

Conclusion:
Patients undergoing simpler procedures such as inguinal hernia, hydrocele, and orchidopexy have lesser rate of complications which translates to requirement of fewer clinic visits, whereas those undergoing procedures such as appendectomy and laparotomy require a physical visit after discharge since they are more susceptible to develop complications requiring interventions. By selecting patients for physical visit, we can potentially eliminate unnecessary visits in patients who have low chance of developing complications.
Diarrhea after kidney transplantation
Authors: Patil AD , Saxena NG , Thakare SB , Pajai AE , Bajpai D , Jamale TE 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Diarrhea in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) can be associated with significant morbidity.

Material and Methods:
We evaluated 198 KTRs for a history of diarrhea post-kidney transplant at a tertiary care center in western India over 1 year. A protocol-based evaluation of diarrhea was done with respect to clinical features, diagnostic evaluation, associated acute allograft dysfunction, and its impact on long-term allograft function. Primary outcomes of interest were: chronic allograft injury (CAI) and the need for mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) withdrawal. We also assessed the effect of MMF withdrawal on the risk of the development of CAI.

Results:
Eighty-five of 198 (42.5%) recipients experienced diarrhea and a total of 140 diarrheal episodes were evaluated. The mean age of these 85 recipients was 38 ± 12 years and 72 (84.7%) were males. 73 of 85 recipients were on MMF at the time of diarrhea and in 35 (48%) of them MMF withdrawal was needed for chronic and persistent symptoms. Diarrhea was attributed to infective etiologies in 90 of 140 (64.2%) cases. Among the microbiologically confirmed infective diarrheal episodes, giardia and cryptosporidium were the common pathogens in 11/28 (39%) and 6/28 (21.4%) episodes respectively. One hundred and twenty-eight episodes out of 140 (91.4%) episodes were complicated by acute allograft dysfunction. Forty-one of 85 recipients (48.2%) developed chronic allograft injury and 12 (14.1%) developed allograft rejection (acute and/or chronic). Probability of chronic allograft injury was higher in those with MMF withdrawal.

Conclusion:
Diarrhea post-kidney transplant adversely affects graft function, especially after MMF withdrawal.
Assessment of Institutional Implementation Research Capacity of the National Institutes of Health D43 Network
Authors: Xiang Bingtao , Peterson Caryn E. , Dykens J. Andrew 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT.
Implementation science enhances the efficient practice of solutions from research to real-world application. Low- and lower- to middle-income countries may benefit significantly from implementation research given their limited resources. The National Institutes of Health Fogarty International Center D43 network consists of partnerships between foreign and U.S.-based institutions and aims to strengthen global health research. This paper assesses the D43 network’s implementation research focus and training capacity. A survey was distributed to 387 program directors of ongoing and completed D43 projects. Preliminary results show 51.7% of respondents describe “increasing implementation research capacity” as a “high priority.” Only 24.8% of faculty in implementation science received formal training, and 60.3% of D43 programs lacked an implementation research training program. Results show there is an increasing need for implementation research but that more can be done to develop implementation research capacity and training. The low response rate of 18% is a limitation of this study.
Selected criminal trade mark cases in the annual Top Ten Intellectual Property Cases of the Supreme People’s Court of China
Authors: Lu Tian 
Published: September 2023

Since 2009, the Supreme People’s Court of China (SPC) has annually reported the Top Ten Intellectual Property Cases (TTIPCs) on and around World Intellectual Property Day in April. The individual cases involve the past year’s countrywide intellectual property cases and form a key component of China’s national case guidance system. Due to their conciseness and regularity of release, as well as their role as explicit guidance provided by the SPC, the TTIPCs encompass a particularly valuable observational window into Chinese law and its applications.
In contrast to holistic empirical research involving numerous cases, this study embarks on a new course by investigating the specific intersection of TTIPCs and trade mark criminal offences. A longitudinal sampling method of past TTIPCs has been used to extract all criminal trade mark cases. These cases were subsequently analysed within the prevailing social context during adjudication and the evolution of China’s trade mark criminal legislation. This study aims to reveal the characteristics, functions, and limitations of TTIPC criminal trade mark cases.
