Published: December 2022

Polypoid choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a type of wet form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is characterized by formation aneurysmal dilations of abnormal choroidal vessels (polyps) under the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the choroid. The disease leads to a vision loss due to formation of serous retinal detachment, neuroepithelium detachment and RPE, subretinal hemorrhages, ﬁbrosis, atrophy of RPE. The generally accepted treatment of PCV is antiangiogenic therapy.The purpose of this work is to present and to analyze the clinical case of polypoid choroidal vasculopathy treatment complicated by extensive subretinal hemorrhage.Description of the case. This clinical case of PCV in the right eye that is complicated by extensive subretinal hemorrhage on the background of antiangiogenic therapy in a 72-year-old man is presented. In addition to standard ophthalmological research methods, we performed optical coherence tomography (OCT) with Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 Zeiss (Carl Zeiss, Germany), angio-OCT with Optovue Solix High-Speed Spectral Optical Coherence Tomograph (Optovue, USA) and fundus photo registration with Topcon TRC-NW8F Retinal Camera (Topcon, Japan). The comprehensive surgical approach was applied to this patient, including posterior subtotal vitrectomy with our Stellaris PC microsurgical system (Baush&Lomb, USA) and the prourokinase subretinal injection against the background of aﬂibercept antiangiogenic therapy and removal of a concomitant cataract with implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL).Discussion. The early treatment of this patient and at the right time procedure of microinvasive 25-G vitrectomy combined with prourokinase subretinal injection contributed to the resorption of hemorrhage in the shortest possible time and improved visual functions from 0.02 to 0.6.Conclusions. The presented comprehensive approach of PCV treatment and its complications made possible to provide social rehabilitation of the patient and to preserve high values of visual functions in the aﬀected eye.

The number of words: 4645, the number of figures: 4, the number of tables: 1The outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019 caused a global pandemic of acute respiratory disease, and with the increasing virulence of mutant strains and the number of confirmed cases, this has resulted in a tremendous threat to global public health. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 is urgently needed for rapid control of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. As a new molecular biology technology, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has the advantages of convenient operation, speed, low cost and high sensitivity and specificity. In the past two years, rampant COVID-19 and the continuous variation in the virus strains have demanded higher requirements for the rapid detection of pathogens. Compared with conventional RT–PCR and real-time RT–PCR methods, genotyping RT-LAMP method and LAMP plus peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe detection methods have been developed to correctly identified SARS-CoV-2 variants, which is also why LAMP technology has attracted much attention. LAMP detection technology combined with lateral flow assay, microfluidic technology and other sensing technologies can effectively enhance signals by nucleic acid amplification and help to give the resulting output in a faster, more convenient and user-friendly way. At present, LAMP plays an important role in the detection of SARS-CoV-2.
Sedimentary evolution of lagoons along the Namibian coast reveals fluctuation in Holocene biogeographic faunal provinces, upwelling intensity and sea level

Published: December 2022

Within the wave-dominated and high-energy depositional environment of the hyper-arid Namibian coast, lagoons and related saltpans represent one of the few regional settings in which sediments originating from both marine and terrestrial sources can accumulate under sheltered conditions. This allows for an approximately continuous depositional record of mid to late Holocene coastal evolution. For this paleoenvironmental reconstruction, 26 sediment cores from six coastal (paleo-)lagoons were taken and investigated along a 430 km-long latitudinal gradient. Based on 56 age determinations of sediments and shell material, the initial formation of the studied lagoons can be dated back to 6.0–5.3 cal kyr BP. The sediment cores present different types of lithoclastic sediments which can be assigned to five sedimentary facies ranging from sand spit sediments rich in shell material to eolian dune sands and evaporites. From these cores, 221 samples of macrobenthic faunal material have been collected and determined to possess 46 shallow marine species. Biogeographic analyses have resulted in the identification of 10 (sub-)tropical warm water species that are not part of the regional benthic fauna in the present upwelling system. Age determinations of the shell material revealed four phases of biogeographic range expansion/shift into the study area, at 5.3 cal kyr BP, 2.8 cal kyr BP, 1.2–0.9 cal kyr BP, and 0.36–0.12 cal kyr BP from both the northern tropical Angola Current as well as from the southern subtropical Agulhas Current. The combination of datasets from this study with published datasets of regional sea-level fluctuations and upwelling intensities presents an apparent correlation between both processes and presumably an additional linkage to the ENSO and Benguela Niño variability.

ObjectiveStudies have shown that carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation during endoscopic thyroidectomy is associated with many risks. Recently, we have designed a simple lifting tool using Kirschner wire. We aimed to use this tool for flap-lifting in modified areola approach endoscopic thyroidectomy and compare it with conventional CO2 insufflation.MethodsIn a prospective study, patients who underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy via modified areola approach were randomly assigned into gasless (n = 20) or CO2 groups (n = 22). Pre-operative variables included age, gender, tumor diameter, and clinical diagnosis. Intra-operative hemodynamic monitoring included mean arterial pressure, heart rate, pulse oximetry, end-tidal carbon dioxide (ET-CO2) and arterial pH. Other intra-operative details included total operative time, operative blood loss, conversion from endoscopic surgery to open surgery, intra-operative events, and endoscope video score. Postoperatively, the hospital stay, drainage volume, and complications were recoded.ResultsPatient characteristics were not different between the two groups. During the operation, ET-CO2 levels were significantly higher in the CO2 group (P &lt; 0.05), whereas arterial pH levels were significantly lower (P &lt; 0.05). The CO2 group had longer operation time and higher endoscope clarity VAS score than gasless group. Hospital stay, drainage volume, and postoperative complications did not differ significantly between the two groups (P &gt; 0.05).ConclusionsThe gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy we performed via our Kirschner wire hook was safe, feasible, and yielded good results.

Published: December 2022

ObjectiveThe need of luteal support after FET is no longer to be proven. Different routes of progesterone administration are available with interindividual differences in metabolization and serum progesterone levels, the latter being highly correlated with pregnancy and delivery rates. The administration of 2 different routes of progestogen significantly improves success rates in FET. The aim of the current study was to investigate the added value to combine intramuscular administration of progesterone to dydrogesterone in fresh embryo transfer.MethodsThis is a retrospective study from prospectively collected data. Patient, aged between 18 and 43 years old, had received a fresh blastocyst transfer between January 2021 and June 2021. In the first group, all patients received only oral dydrogesterone 10mg, three times a day, beginning the evening of oocyte retrieval. In the second group, patients received, in addition to dydrogesterone, a weekly intramuscular injection of progesterone started the day of embryo transfer. Primary endpoint was ongoing pregnancy rate.Results171 fresh single blastocyst transfers have been performed during this period. 82 patients were included in “dydrogesterone only” and 89 patients in “dydrogesterone + IM”. Our two groups were comparable except for body mass index. After adjustment on BMI, our two groups were comparable regarding implantation rate, early pregnancy rate (46.1 versus 54.9, OR 1.44 [0.78; 2.67], p=0.25) miscarriage rate, ongoing pregnancy rate (30.3 versus 43.9, OR 1.85 [0.97; 3.53] p= 0.06).ConclusionUsing systematically long acting intramuscular progesterone injection in addition to oral dydrogesterone as luteal phase support seems to have no significant impact on IVF outcomes when a single fresh blastocyst transfer is performed.

IntroductionHypoparathyroidism (HP) is a rare endocrine disease and there are little data available on the risk of fragility fractures in these patients. PTH deficiency results in a positive bone balance with higher bone mass in all skeletal sites. However, whether these structural and dynamic skeletal changes have a negative impact on the fracture risk, it is not known.MethodsAiming to investigate the risk of insufficiency vertebral fractures in HP, defined using morphometric criteria, a consecutive sampling of 44 women with chronic postsurgical HP was compared to a control group of 44 adult healthy women, matched by age with patients. Vertebral fractures were analyzed by the semiquantitative Genant’s method followed by quantitative vertebral morphometry.ResultsMorphometric vertebral fractures were identified in 5/44 (11.4%) patients and in 3/44 (6.8%) controls (p=0.731). Most fractures were classified as Genant II and III grades in HP patients, whereas most were Genant I in controls. A logistic regression multivariate analysis was conducted in which age, BMI and parathyroid status were the independent variables, and morphometric vertebral fracture was the dependent variable, but none of these factors was a significant predictor of fracture in this population (OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.96-1.07, p=0.634 for age; OR 2.24, 95%CI 0.47-10.50, p=0.306 for the presence/absence of HP and OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.76-1.10, p=0.369 for BMI).ConclusionThe results of this study cannot ensure a higher risk of fragility vertebral fractures in postsurgical HP patients. Instead, we only observed higher Genant grade classification of the deformed vertebrae in our sample.
Mapping evidence on postpartum modern family planning service uptake among women in Ethiopia: A scoping review
Authors: Cherie Niguss , Abera Mulumebet , Tura Gurmesa 
Published: December 2022

BackgroundIn Ethiopia, different fragmented studies have been conducted to assess the determinants and uptake of postpartum modern family planning services. There is discrepancy and inconsistency among reported studies on postpartum modern family planning service uptake. The scoping review aimed to collect evidence on postnatal birth control service use and supply a chance to spot key ideas and gaps to research, policy revision, and changes in strategies.MethodsThere were different process steps in this scoping review which included analysis questions, distinctive relevant studies, study choice, charting the information, and eventually collating, summarizing, and reporting the results. A search was conducted through scientific databases like PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Hinari, and Google Scholar. The first outcome of this scoping review was postpartum family planning service uptake after childbirth in Ethiopia. The Preferable Reporting Information in Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) flow diagram was used to select and summarize the selection procedure of the articles. The information of the chosen studies was sorted using the subsequent categories: authors, year of publication, study location, main study objective, and method employed for information analyses.ResultsA total of 1,607 records were reclaimed from the database searches and reference list review. A total of 596 articles were identified in PubMed, 375 in CINAHL, 576 in Hinari, and 60 records in Google Scholar. A total of 1,607 literature studies were checked for replication, and 840 records were excluded. The bulk of articles (n = 420) were excluded because they did not focus on postpartum family planning service, and 322 articles were excluded due to study setting discrepancy. The remaining 28 full-text articles were read in full using the preidentified inclusion criteria and included in the scoping review for analysis.ConclusionGenerally, this scoping review identified different fragmented and inconsistent research findings on the uptake of postpartum modern family planning in Ethiopia. Almost all studies were observational studies that lack interventional study designs to provide evidence-based interventions to improve postpartum family planning uptake. There is a definite need for further interventional and qualitative research to improve early postpartum family planning service uptake that improves maternal and child health.
