Abstract
In this study, utilizing air velocity by converting wind kinetic energy into mechanical energy due to the converging area, has been numerically studied by proposing a 3D novel model and using ANSYS Fluent 19 software. Solar radiation by using the radiation model (S2S) has been considered to benefit from the heat energy to be converted into kinetic energy of the flow. Ultimate dimensions were calculated for the proposed nozzle is made of glass material. The study concentrates on the utilization of solar nozzles and their effect on wind energy. This study focused on and attempted to increase the local wind velocity (1 m/s) in Kirkuk city in Iraq, to a higher velocity that could produce a large amount of kinetic energy which is then converted to generate power. Hence, increasing the efficiency of the plant. Results showed that wind velocity increases as the heat gain increases and the area decreased. The velocity at the converging position without including the solar radiation model reached about (15.1 m/s), while in the case of enabling the solar radiation, it showed a value of (15.75 m/s). As a result, the power produced from this proposed method has increased by a value of 74 W.

Abstract

Objectives
Insights about local antimicrobial resistance (AMR) levels and epidemiology are essential to guide decision-making processes in antimicrobial use. However, dedicated tools for reliable and reproducible AMR data analysis and reporting are often lacking. We aimed to compare traditional data analysis and reporting versus a new approach for reliable and reproducible AMR data analysis in a clinical setting.

Methods
Ten professionals who routinely work with AMR data were provided with blood culture test results including antimicrobial susceptibility results. Participants were asked to perform a detailed AMR data analysis in a two-round process: first using their software of choice and next using our newly developed software tool. Accuracy of the results and time spent were compared between both rounds. Finally, participants rated the usability using the System Usability Scale (SUS).

Results
The mean time spent on creating the AMR report reduced from 93.7 to 22.4 min (P &lt; 0.001). Average task completion per round changed from 56% to 96% (P &lt; 0.05). The proportion of correct answers in the available results increased from 37.9% in the first to 97.9% in the second round (P &lt; 0.001). Usability of the new tools was rated with a median of 83.8 (out of 100) on the SUS.

Conclusions
This study demonstrated the significant improvement in efficiency and accuracy in standard AMR data analysis and reporting workflows through open-source software. Integrating these tools in clinical settings can democratize the access to fast and reliable insights about local microbial epidemiology and associated AMR levels. Thereby, our approach can support evidence-based decision-making processes in the use of antimicrobials.
Lithology discrimination based on direct inversion of Poisson impedance for deep tight-sandstone reservoirs
Authors: Ji Lixiang , Zong Zhaoyun 
Published: January 2023

AbstractLithology discrimination plays an important role in characterizing deep-hydrocarbon reservoirs, particularly for tight sandstones with special petrophysical properties. Stable prediction of lithological-sensitive parameters for deep tight sandstones is a significant challenge. In this paper, a direct inversion method of elastic impedance is developed to estimate lithological-sensitive parameters from pre-stack seismic data to improve the stability of the inversion. Elastic and physical parameter models extracted from actual wells are used to analyze the influence of petrophysical parameters on amplitude variation with offset characteristics. Cross-plots and sensitivity analysis of elastic parameters illustrate that the elastic-sensitive parameter Poisson impedance (PI) can distinguish gas-bearing sandstone and abnormal limestone in deep tight-sandstone reservoirs. In addition, a pragmatic elastic impedance direct inversion under the framework of Bayesian theory is implemented for the lithology indicator PI from pre-stack seismic data. And the Cauchy regularization and low-frequency regularization constraints are used to construct the objective function for improving the robustness of inversion. Field data examples show that the inversion results are in good agreement with the well logging interpretation results, and validate the feasibility and stability of the proposed method in the estimation of inverted parameters. Finally, we can conclude that this method has great application potential in the lithology discrimination of deep tight-sandstone reservoirs.

AbstractExperimentally understanding the effects of clay type and fraction on the elastic properties of clay-bearing sandstone is crucial for exploring hydrocarbon reservoirs. Therefore, we artificially synthesized a series of pure clay rocks and clay-bearing sandstones with different clay types and fractions, and conducted the ultrasonic measurements to investigate the elastic behaviors. According to experiments on pure clay rocks, illite rocks have the highest porosity, followed by montmorillonite rocks and chlorite rocks. In terms of elastic properties, illite rocks show the highest ultrasonic P- and S-wave velocities, followed by chlorite rocks and montmorillonite rocks. For clay-bearing sandstones, the measured results indicate that clay types and fractions significantly influence both the physical and elastic properties. Specifically, the porosity of chlorite-bearing sandstone is systematically lower than that of illite-bearing and montmorillonite-bearing sandstone. The chlorite-bearing sandstone has the highest P- and S-wave velocities, followed by illite-bearing and montmorillonite-bearing sandstone. Moreover, the clay fraction also affects porosity–velocity trends. The porosity first falls and then increases as the clay fraction rises, while the P- and S-wave velocities first rise and then fall and, in turn the turning point occurs at the ∼30% clay fraction. The potential mechanism of the turning point is analyzed based on the microscopic distribution of clay and sandstone. Additionally, the clay fraction and distribution also affect the electrical conductivity and permeability of the clay-bearing sandstone, implies that the clay types, clay fraction and clay distribution are non-negligible factors in reservoir evaluation.

Published: January 2023

AbstractSyringocystadenoma papilliferum is a rare, benign hamartomatous neoplasm of skin adnexal originating from pluripotent cells differentiating into either apocrine or eccrine sweat glands. It usually appears at birth, during infancy or puberty and commonly located at head and neck. This case report illustrates a rare occurrence at an atypical anatomical location and unusual onset. In this case report, we report a 20-year-old female with a chief complain of solitary pink-brown color fleshy plaque with soft-medium consistency on her left flank region since the last 7 months. She underwent complete surgical excision and histopathology examination, which confirmed the diagnosis as syringocystadenoma papilliferum without sign of malignancy, with main characteristics histologically include cystic invaginations from the epidermis lined by double layers of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. Despite having benign characteristics, rare transformations to malignancy have been reported. Therefore, complete surgical excision and histopathology examination should be done in suspicion of syringocystadenoma papilliferum.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Schwannoma, also called neurilemmoma, is a rare neurogenic tumor exclusively benign that develops from a variety of glial nerve cells called Schwann cells. We present a 26-year-old female patient who was admitted with a history of dysphagia, headache and swelling going from the lower limit of the ear to the floor of the neck on the left side, which has been slowly progressing for 5 years. Upon local clinical examination, a well-defined mass was revealed, 6 × 5 cm in size, non-painful spontaneously, painful on direct palpation of the left neck. Computed tomography scan has shown a well-circumscribed large mass with heterogenous areas of enhancement in the left parapharyngeal space displacing the submandibular gland superiorly and the carotid sheath anterolaterally and compressing the oropharyngeal airway. Excision of the tumor was done by a combined route without post-operative complications noted. Histopathological examination revealed a benign schwannoma without the identification of the nerve of origin.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
A 34-year-old female presented with colicky abdominal pain and symptoms suggestive of subacute small bowel obstruction in the setting of Crohn’s disease (CD). She was on maximal medical therapy and had undergone endoscopic balloon dilatation of a terminal ileal stricture on two occasions. Magnetic resonance enterography demonstrated acute inflammation in two segments of the terminal ileum. The patient proceeded to laparoscopic ileocolic resection. The histopathology revealed a segment of stricturing CD with chronic inflammatory change. There was also an unexpected finding of a segment of stricturing ileal disease secondary to endometriosis. Endometriosis affecting the ileum is uncommon, and concurrent CR and endometriosis is very rare. Further research is required to understand whether these two conditions are associated. Here, we present a discussion on the histopathology differences between endometriosis and CD. Clinicians are reminded of these rare concurrent conditions, as the symptomatology may mimic one another, thus impacting the treatment and management.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Oesophageal squamous papillomas (OSPs) are rare epithelial lesions, recognized to be benign but with reported malignant potential. We report a case of a 40-year-old female with chronic vomiting, subsequently found on oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy to have two mid-oesophageal sessile polyps, the largest of which measured 10 mm. These were endoscopically resected with histopathology confirming an OSP without evidence of dysplasia or malignancy. The case under consideration reports the current literature on OSPs regarding their aetiology, malignant potential and optimal management.
Operative challenges of intramedullary nailing for subtrochanteric blastic pathological femur fracture: a case report
Authors: Klahs Kyle J , Heh Ethan , Yousaf Mohammad , Tadlock Joshua , Thabet Ahmed M 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Prostate adenocarcinoma metastasizes to bone and forms fragile blastic lesions, which can present as dense obstacles intraoperatively. There are limited reports on the challenges surgeons face when operating through these lesions. A 60-year-old male with a pathologic subtrochanteric femur fracture in the presence of blastic lesions was successfully treated with intramedullary (IM) fixation. Pathologic fractures from blastic bone lesions are expected to increase in prevalence as survivability improves for metastatic prostate cancer. Orthopedic surgeons, when performing IM fixation for these fractures, should be prepared to utilize accessory equipment and should adopt creative techniques for reduction and fixation.

Abstract

Background
Molecular brain tumor classification using DNA methylation profiling has revealed that the methylation-class of pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (mcPXA) comprised a substantial portion of divergent initial diagnoses, which had been established based on histology alone. This study aimed to characterize the survival outcome in patients with mcPXAs—in light of the diverse selected treatment regimes.

Methods
A retrospective cohort of adult mcPXAs were analyzed in regard to their progression-free survival following surgical resection and postoperative radiotherapy. Radiotherapy treatment plans were correlated with follow-up images to characterize the pattern of relapse. Treatment toxicities and molecular tumor characteristics were further analyzed.

Results
Divergent initial histological diagnoses were encountered in 40.7%. There was no significant difference in local progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) following gross total or subtotal resection. Postoperative radiotherapy was completed in 81% (22/27) following surgical intervention. Local PFS was 54.4% (95% CI: 35.3–84.0%) and OS was 81.3% (95% CI: 63.8–100%) after 3 years following postoperative radiotherapy. Initial relapses post-radiotherapy were primarily located in the previous tumor location and/or the planning target volume (PTV) (12/13). All patients in our cohort demonstrated the prognostically favorable pTERT-wildtype mcPXA.

Conclusion
Our study demonstrated that adult patients with mcPXAs display a worse progression-free survival compared to the reported WHO grade 2 PXAs. Future matched-pair analyses are required with a non-irradiated cohort to elucidate the benefit of postoperative radiotherapy in adult patients with mcPXAs.
A Critical Theory of Global Justice
Authors: Ibsen Malte Frøslee 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The idea of a critical theory is famous across the world, yet it is today rarely practiced as originally conceived by the Frankfurt School. The waning influence of critical theory in the contemporary academy may be due to its lack of engagement with global problems and the postcolonial condition. This book offers the first systematic treatment of the idea of a critical theory of world society, advancing the conversation between critical theory and postcolonial and ecological thought. It develops a reconstruction of the Frankfurt School tradition as four paradigms of critical theory, in original interpretations of the work of Max Horkheimer, Theodor W. Adorno, Jürgen Habermas, and Axel Honneth, and considers how the global context has figured in their work and what might be salvaged for a critical theory of contemporary world society. It advances new interpretations of the relationship between critical theory and justice, the idea of communicative freedom, and three conceptions of power in the Frankfurt School tradition. The book further offers extended discussions of two emerging paradigms in the work of Amy Allen and Rainer Forst. The book argues that a critical theory of world society must combine and integrate a Kantian constructivist approach in a critique of global injustice, as defended by Forst, with the reflexive check of a self-problematizing critique of its blind spots and taken-for-granted assumptions regarding the postcolonial condition, as defended by Allen. Finally, the book rethinks the relationship between society and nature in critical theory, with far-reaching normative and methodological implications.
Revenge, Politics and Blasphemy in Pakistan
Authors: Hussain Adeel 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This book uncovers the hidden stories behind Pakistan's legal fixation with blasphemy--tales of revenge, political scheming, and sovereign betrayal. It opens in nineteenth-century colonial Punjab and traces blasphemy killings and their legal afterlives to the present, linking their emergence to polemic encounters between Hindu and Muslim revivalist sects, namely the Arya Samaj and the Ahmadiyya. It offers the arresting backstories to the assassinations of Pandit Lekh Ram, a leading Hindu nationalist; Swami Shraddhanand, an early progenitor of Hindu nationalism and the principal advocate for converting Muslims to Hinduism; and Rajpal, the Hindu publisher of a sensationalist book on the Prophet Muhammad. Revenge, Politics and Blasphemy in Pakistan then maps the curious legal and political impact of these killings, illuminating the most critical moments in Pakistan's constitutional history: 1953, when outraged protestors smashed stores owned by religious minorities, triggering the country's first state of emergency; 1974, when Islamist parties pressured Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to put blasphemy on the constitutional agenda; 1984, when Zia-ul-Haq transformed Pakistan according to his Islamist legal vision, which included more severe punishments for blasphemy; and the twenty-first century, when digital media amplified the visibility of blasphemy killings, prompting political parties to demonstrate their commitment to blasphemy laws.
Dissipation-induced dynamical phase transition in postselected quantum trajectories
Authors: Hayata Tomoya , Hidaka Yoshimasa , Yamamoto Arata 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
It is known that effects of dissipation or measurement backreaction in postselected quantum trajectories are described by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, but their consequences in real-time dynamics of many-body systems are yet to be elucidated. Through a study of a non-Hermitian Hubbard model, we reveal a novel dissipation-induced dynamical phase transition in postselected quantum trajectories, where time controls the strength of postselection and becomes the intrinsic parameter inducing the phase transition. Our findings are testable in ultracold atom experiments and may open a new avenue in the dissipative engineering of quantum systems.
Transurethral guidewire loop for manipulation and extraction of stent: A novel, innovative, video-endoscopic technique in ureteral stent removal
Authors: Adam Ahmed , Perera Marlon 
Published: January 2023

Abstract

Background
Ureteral stent removal is one of the most common procedures performed in urology. Herein, we describe a novel technique for stent removal using transurethral guidewire loop for manipulation and extraction of stents method. We aimed to evaluate the role, feasibility, cost, operative time, and complications of the method. A review of the literature outlining the innovations in ureteral stent removal was also performed.

Materials and methods
Cystoscopic stent removal was performed using transurethral guidewire loop for manipulation and extraction of stents in all sequential cases. Variables including sex, age, stent type, duration, reason for stent insertion, type of anesthesia (general/local), cystoscopic stent removal time, and documentation of postprocedural complications were tabulated. In addition, using the search term “novel innovation in ureteral stent removal,” various databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, and Web of Science) were searched.

Results
Transurethral guidewire loop for manipulation and extraction of stents was successfully performed in all patients assessed on the first attempt. The patients comprised both sexes. The procedure was well tolerated under local anesthesia (4 of 5 cases), whereas general anesthesia was used in 1 case as the patient was booked for subsequent ureteroscopy under the same anesthetic. The procedure time was <27 seconds in all the cases assessed. No significant complications were noted. Fifteen studies involving novel innovations were included in the critical appraisal.

Conclusions
Transurethral guidewire loop for manipulation and extraction of stents is a simple, cost-effective, and innovative alternative for removing ureteral stents. It may be easily applied instead of a conventional ureteral stent grasper. Published innovative trends in ureteral stent removal have evolved over time, including advancements in stent design, retrieval devices, and the use of fluoroscope-free and cystoscope-free techniques.
Clinical Outcomes of Individualized Antiplatelet Therapy Based on Platelet Function Test in Patients After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Peng Wenxing , Zhang Yunnan , Lin Baidi , Lin Yang 
Published: January 2023

Abstract:
Platelet function test (PFT) is universally used to assess platelet reactivity to antiplatelet drugs in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, it remains controversial whether individualized antiplatelet therapy guided by PFT can improve the prognosis in patients after PCI. This meta-analysis was conducted to explore the efficacy and safety of individualized antiplatelet therapy guided by PFT in patients after PCI. Studies that compared PFT-guided antiplatelet therapy with standard antiplatelet therapy were researched. The risks of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and major bleeding events were assessed. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were obtained. Finally, a total of 16,835 patients from 22 studies met the criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with standard antiplatelet therapy, individualized antiplatelet therapy guided by PFT significantly decreased the risk of MACCE (OR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.43–0.77) in patients after PCI. There was no significant difference in major bleeding events (OR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.70–1.05, P = 0.13). This study identified that PFT-guided individualized antiplatelet therapy could reduce the incidence of MACCE without increasing the risk of hemorrhage in patients after PCI.
