Authors: McAvoy Malia , Satyanarayan Shenoy Varadaraya , Miller Charles , Feroze Abdullah , Moe Kris S. , Sekhar Laligam N. 
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE:
Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare anterior skull base tumor derived from olfactory epithelium. There are very few operative videos in the literature demonstrating the surgical resection techniques for giant ENB because of their rarity and complexity. In this technical report, we demonstrate the microsurgical resection of a very large and complex high-grade ENB, initially deemed unresectable, through a bifrontal craniotomy and extended subfrontal approach combined with an endonasal endoscopic approach.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION:
A 34-year-old woman presented with headaches, nasal congestion, and bloody nasal drainage. MRI showed a large nasal cavity mass with extension into the anterior cranial fossa and bifrontal lobes. There was significant bifrontal edema causing headaches and abutting the optic nerves. Initial management with surgical resection was offered to the patient for local tumor control and to preserve her vision. A combined bifrontal craniotomy and endonasal transsphenoidal approach was used for resecting this giant tumor. After achieving gross total resection, we reconstructed the anterior skull base in layers. She developed several postoperative complications which were appropriately managed.

CONCLUSION:
We demonstrate the surgical resection of a giant ENB through a combined transcranial and endonasal endoscopic approach. We discuss the several postoperative complications in this complex case and the lessons learned.

BACKGROUND:
Surgical treatment of deep-seated brain lesions is a major challenge for neurosurgeons. Recently, tubular retractors have been used to help neurosurgeons in achieving the targeting and resection of deep lesions.

OBJECTIVE:
To describe a novel surgical approach based on the combination of tubular retractors and preoperative mapping by navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) and nTMS-based diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography for the safe resection of deep-seated lesions.

METHODS:
Ten consecutive patients affected by deep-seated brain lesions close to eloquent motor/language/visual pathways underwent preoperative nTMS mapping of motor/language cortical areas and nTMS-based DTI tractography of adjacent eloquent white matter tracts, including optic radiations. The nTMS-based information was used to plan the optimal surgical trajectory and to guide the insertion of tubular retractors within the brain parenchyma without causing injury to the eloquent cortical and subcortical structures. After surgery, all patients underwent a new nTMS-based DTI tractography of fascicles close to the tumor to verify their structural integrity.

RESULTS:
Gross total resection was achieved in 8 cases, subtotal resection in 1 case, and a biopsy in 1 case. No new postoperative deficits were observed, except in 1 case where a visual field defect due to injury to the optic radiations occurred. Postoperative nTMS-based DTI tractography showed the integrity of the subcortical fascicles crossed by tubular retractors trajectory in 9 cases.

CONCLUSION:
The novel strategy combining tubular retractors with functional nTMS-based preoperative mapping enables a safe microsurgical resection of deep-seated lesions through the preservation of eloquent cortical areas and subcortical fascicles, thus reducing the risk of new permanent deficits.
Thermodynamics and Kinetics of a Partial Peptide of K+ Channels: DFT Transition State Calculations Coupled with Temperature-Controlled Gas Phase Laser Spectroscopy
Authors: Suzuki Yukina , Hirata Keisuke , Lisy James M , Ishiuchi Shun-ichi , Fujii Masaaki 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
K+ channels selectively conduct K+ at a high conduction rate, but not smaller Na+ and Li+. To provide an insight into the conduction mechanism previously, we experimentally observed the temperature dependence of the conformer distributions of a model peptide in K+ channels (Ac-Tyr-NHMe) complexed with alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+) by gas phase laser spectroscopy. The K+ and Rb+ complexes showed a more significant temperature dependence than the Li+ complexes, whose conformer distributions barely varied. This different behavior with temperature can be interpreted either thermodynamically (entropy vs. enthalpy) or kinetically (barrier height). Due to the lack of temperature dependence of the Li+ complex, we could not determine which factor, an enthalpy-driven structure or a high energy barrier, governs the Li+ complex’s behavior. To resolve this issue, we carried out DFT transition state calculations and time-dependent simulation of the metal complexes’ conformer distributions based on the theoretical barrier heights. By comparing the experimental and computational data, the origin of the variation in the temperature dependence among different ion complexes was determined to be thermodynamic.
INFLUENCE OF GROWTH STIMULANTS RIBAV-EXTRA AND EPIN-EXTRA ON THE GERMINATION OF SEEDS OF KHINGHAN FIR (ABIES NEPHROLEPIS (TRAUTV.) MAXIM.)

Published: February 2023

Khinghan fir (Abies nephrolepis (Trautv.) Maxim.) is the most common species among the conifers of Primorsky Krai. It plays an important role in forest consumption. However, forest fires and logging lead to a reduction in the range of this species. Thanks to the use of growth stimulants, it is possible to accelerate the restoration of the Far Eastern fir. The aim of the research was to study the effect of the growth stimulants Ribav-Extra and Epin-Extra on germinative energy, laboratory seed germination and morphometric parameters of sprouts (length and weight) of Khinghan fir (Abies nephrolepis (Trautv.) Maxim.). According to GOSTS, the experiments were carried out in four repetitions in seven different concentrations of solutions (1×10-3 – 1×7×10-3 ml/l). Control − seeds soaked in distilled water. The length of sprouts was measured with the use of an electronic caliper. The mass of sprouts was weighed on an electronic balance. The conducted studies showed, that Ribav-Extra had the greatest effect on sowing qualities of seeds (germinative energy and laboratory germination) at the solution concentrations of 1×2×10-3- 1×7×10-3 ml/l, amounting to 4-16% (excess to the control − 21.2-384.8%). For laboratory germination (21.4-33.1%) − at the concentrations of 1×3×10-3-1×6×10-3 ml/l (excess to the control − 127.7-252.1%). Epin-Extra showed a more active effect on the energy of seed germination with the solution concentrations of 1×2×10-3-1×6×10-3 ml/l, amounting to 4-16%. Excess to the control − 21.2-384.8%. The concentration of solutions 1×3×10-3 - 1×5×10-3 ml/l had a positive effect on laboratory germination of seeds (13-33%), exceeding the control by 38.3-251.1%. An increase in seed quality classes was noted: from the third to the second and first. These stimulants also proved to be effective for increasing the biometric parameters of sprouts (length and weight). Thus, a significant effect of Ribav-Extra on the increase in the length of sprouts was noted at the concentrations of 1×10-3-1×6×10-3 ml/l (excess to the control − 7.7-50%); in Epin-Extra – with the solutions of 1×4×10-3-1×7×10-3 ml/l, exceeding the control by 7.7-40%. Ribav-Extra had a positive effect on the increase in the mass of sprouts in all concentrations of solutions (excess to the control − 5.1-79.5%). Epin-Extra is less effective.

Published: February 2023

The study of soil thermophysics is a complex process. It is connected with the weather conditions, the time of year, the cloud cover of the atmosphere. In addition, studies were carried out in a system of bands and the state of the surface layer was influenced by such processes as the number of LP, rock composition. On the interstitial cell – the presence or absence of vegetation, the phases of its development. Therefore, qualitative interpretations of soil temperature indicators will be subjective.
Goal. Based on empirical data, using mathematical modeling based on soil temperature data, calculate the thermophysical characteristics of chestnut soils of the Volgograd region.
Novelty. For the first time, the characteristics of their thermophysical properties have been calculated for chestnut complex soils.
Methods. The soil temperature at a depth of 0–20 and 20–40 cm in the zone of influence of forest strips for a longterm period is considered. The studies were carried out on chestnut and light chestnut soils of the Volgograd region in the system of forest strips (LP). The soil temperature was determined in fields without plants and under crops.
Results. The thermal conductivity and thermal conductivity of chestnut soils were determined. A method of thermal reclamation is considered, which, in the absence of evaporation from the soil surface, causes a negative thermal effect (-∆T). When the soil is open in the interband cell (due to increased heat capacity), it warms up more in forested fields than without forest strips (LP).
Conclusion. Mathematical modeling was used in the calculations of the thermophysical characteristics of soils. Linear, for soil without plants, and exponential (under agricultural crops) dependences are obtained. Mathematical analysis of empirical data on soil temperature showed no differences in the thermophysics of soils with and without vegetation.

Published: February 2023

Colostrum or transitional milk is the most important source of nutrition within the first days of a calf’s life. It is the only source of macro and micro elements for newborns. The accumulation of data in scientific publications on the mineral content of bovine colostrum is slow because the researchers primarily focus on the peculiarities of biochemical, in particular, globulin composition.
Aim. To study and systematize available scientific published data on the content of mineral elements in bovine colostrum and its possible influence on calve health.
Materials and Methods. The article contains the review of the composition of various mineral elements in the colostrum of animals based on the results of the studies and experiments of Russian and foreign scientists. Publications were searched for in scientific databases Elibrary, RSCI, Web of Science, Scopus, and a search engine Google Scholar.
Results and Discussion. The authors established certain consistency in the influence of time from the delivery on the content of macro and micro elements in the colostrum. The differences in the mineral content of bovine colostrum are explained by various technologies of cattle handling that differ by the species of animals and other factors.

Published: February 2023

Although uncommon, subtalar joint dislocations remain a frequently missed orthopaedic emergency. Detailed soft tissue and neurovascular assessment is important and these should be documented as appropriate. Failure of urgent reduction might lead to increased risk of conversion to an open injury as a result of pressure necrosis of the overlying skin, risk of talar avascular necrosis and risk of neurovascular compromise. A computed tomography scan is needed in all cases following successful closed or open reduction to identify associated occult foot and ankle fractures. The goal of treatment is to reduce the risk of soft tissue and neurovascular compromise and achieve a supple, painless foot. This article highlights the importance of early identification of this injury and institution of appropriate management according to the latest evidence, to reduce the risk of complications and lead to the best outcomes.

AimsPatient decision aids have previously demonstrated an improvement in the quality of the informed consent process. This study assessed the effectiveness of detailed written patient information, compared to standard verbal consent, in improving postoperative recall in adult orthopaedic trauma patients.MethodsThis randomized controlled feasibility trial was conducted at two teaching hospitals within the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District. Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) pending orthopaedic trauma surgery between March 2021 and September 2021 were recruited and randomized to detailed or standard methods of informed consent using a random sequence concealed in sealed, opaque envelopes. The detailed group received procedure-specific written information in addition to the standard verbal consent. The primary outcome was total recall, using a seven-point interview-administered recall questionnaire at 72 hours postoperatively. Points were awarded if the participant correctly recalled details of potential complications (maximum three points), implants used (maximum three points), and postoperative instructions (maximum one point). Secondary outcomes included the anxiety subscale of the Hospital and Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS-A) and visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain collected at 24 hours preoperatively and 72 hours postoperatively. Additionally, the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (PSQ-18) measured satisfaction at 72 hours postoperatively.ResultsA total of 60 patients were randomized, 32 to the standard group and 28 to the detailed group. Patients in the detailed group had significantly higher total recall score compared to the standard group (mean difference 1.29 points (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.51 to 2.08); p = 0.002). There were no differences in HADS-A (mean difference 0.39 (95% CI -2.11 to 2.88); p = 0.757), VAS pain (mean difference 5.71 (95% CI -22.25 to 11.11); p = 0.499), or PSQ-18 (mean difference 0.499; 95% CI -1.6 to 3.42; p = 0.392).ConclusionDetailed written tools are useful in improving postoperative recall in adult orthopaedic trauma patients.Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2023;4(2):104–109.
Impact and Individualization of Peer Support Arrangements for High School Students With Autism Using Structural Analysis
Authors: Huber Heartley B. , Carter Erik W. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractIncluding students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) well in high school general education classrooms requires intentional and individualized support. We examined the efficacy and social validity of peer support arrangements for enhancing the social and academic outcomes of three students with ASD, two of whom also had an intellectual disability (ID). We also explored the use of structural analysis to further individualize these interventions. Peer support arrangements increased social interactions and academic engagement for all three students. Structural analysis results were used to further refine each peer support arrangement. Our findings strengthen support for peer support arrangements as a research-based approach to promote the general education classroom inclusion of high school students with ASD. It also highlights the value of incorporating additional assessment to individualize these interventions for students with ASD with and without ID.
Living in Localities: The Factors That Influence the Social Inclusion in Neighborhoods of Adults With Intellectual Disability. A Systematic Scoping Review
Authors: Boland Geraldine , de Paor Eilin , Guerin Suzanne 
Published: February 2023

AbstractAdults with intellectual disability (ID) are now more likely to live in ordinary localities. However, this does not always equate with engagement, leading to forming new relationships and a sense of connection. This systematic scoping review examined research on social inclusion in neighborhoods for adults with ID, synthesizing 94 peer-reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2020. The characteristics of neighborhoods that foster inclusion include: richness of opportunities in localities, public acceptance, positive neighboring, and multidimensional accessibility. Social inclusion in neighborhoods is complex, with a range of other influencing factors also identified. Recommendations for further research and implications for practice are discussed to support individuals to actively engage locally and to enhance their informal social networks.

Abstract
Himalayan tahr is a group-living animal of high-altitude Himalaya, distributed all across the subalpine range that also formed an important prey base for large carnivores in Himalaya. The species is threatened due to habitat fragmentation, illegal poaching, and anthropogenic activities. We undertook population genetic assessment of Himalayan tahr from Western Himalaya and observed comparable genetic diversity at both mitochondrial and nuclear microsatellite loci. Bayesian skyline plots showed stable demography in the past several thousand years. We identified 27 unique individuals with a select panel of seven loci and the Bayesian structure analysis inferred two genetic clusters. The present study is the first report on the population genetic make-up of Himalayan tahr and can be used for long-term genetic monitoring of the species.
Wealth Consumption, Sociopolitical Organization, and Change: A Perspective from Burial Analysis on the Middle Bronze Age in the Carpathian Basin
Authors: Laabs Julian 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Tracing the patterns of wealth consumption within and between burial communities can reveal different aspects of the sociopolitical and economic abilities of and relations between individuals, groups, and whole communities. For a cross-cultural comparison, burial communities of the cultural groups of the Hungarian Middle Bronze Age Vatya and Füzesabony pottery styles in the Carpathian Basin were chosen. Special emphasis is put on the development of the wealth consumption during the late phase of the Middle Bronze Age. It could be shown that Vatya and Füzesabony communities exhibit very similar patterns of wealth consumption and seemingly sociopolitical organization. In the cemetery of Dunaújváros-Duna-dűlő, a dynamic competition and cooperation between different social segments can be witnessed, representing an arena in which signaling the individual’s and groups’ ability to participate in sociopolitical organization of the burial community took place. The wealth consumption over the whole considered geographical space, and beyond, changes during the late Middle Bronze Age. It can be assumed that during the times of change, cultural convergence increases, as changes in burial rites and wealth consumption suggest. This development is possible because Vatya and Füzesabony shared a very similar sociopolitical organization as well as the perception of wealth and how it should be consumed.

Abstract
A highly uniform nanostructured polypyrrole (PPy) film prepared by a simple, straightforward in situ route of chemical vapor oxidation has been demonstrated as a sensitive substrate for NH3 gas sensing. The structure of PPy film was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The binding characteristics of the functional groups of the PPy film were examined by Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy. NH3 sensing properties of the PPy film were evaluated by its resistive response to gas concentrations from 45 to 350 ppm at different temperatures ranging from 25 to 100°C. The sensing response maximum value was 142.6% when exposed to 350 ppm of NH3 gas at room temperature (25°C). The sensing response of PPy film shows an excellent linear relationship and high selectivity toward NH3. The NH3 sensing mechanism is due to the physisorption and chemisorption interactions of NH3 molecules and the adsorptive sites of PPy (polaron and bipolaron charging carriers).
