Published: October 2022

Abstract. Background: Aspiration of intervertebral disc space is often done
to confirm the diagnosis of native vertebral osteomyelitis. A study has not
been done examining the utility of cell counts and differentials of the
aspirated fluid in diagnosing native vertebral osteomyelitis (NVO).
Methods: In this feasibility study, we prospectively enrolled
patients with a suspected diagnosis of NVO referred to the Division of Neuroradiology for image-guided needle aspiration of the intervertebral disc. In
this study, manual cell count was done on the aspirated fluid, followed by
a differential cytospin technique and touch prep. We obtained demographic,
lab, and microbiologic data and used the receiver operating curve (ROC) for statistical
analysis.
Results: Over 12 months, we performed 17 aspirates on 14 patients.
The median age was 70.5 years (range: 45–77). The median manual cell count
on the aspirated fluid was 52 cells µL−1 (range: 0–6656), the median
neutrophil percentage on the touch prep slide was 73 % (range: 5 %–100 %), and
the median neutrophil percentage on the cytospin slide was 82 % (range: 0 %–100 %). Routine bacterial cultures were positive in five cases, and the 16S
ribosomal RNA gene polymerase chain reaction was positive in two cases. The
optimal cutoff for a cell count of 104 total nucleated cells offered a
sensitivity and specificity of 86 %, and a neutrophil cutoff of 83 % was
associated with a 71 % sensitivity and specificity.
Conclusion: An image-guided aspirated specimen leukocyte differential of ≥83 % neutrophils or a leukocyte count of ≥104 µL−1 was a sensitive and specific test for
diagnosing patients with suspected NVO. Additionally, more extensive studies are warranted to confirm the findings.

Нарушения сердечного ритма являются ведущим проявлением постковидного синдрома вслед за поражением дыхательной системы. Фиброз или рубцевание миокарда, а также кардиомиопатия, вызванная данной вирусной инфекцией, могут привести к рецидивирующим аритмиям. В данной работе описан клинический случай рецидива АВ-узловой re-entry тахикардии после успешной радиочастотной аблации у пациента перенесшего вирусную инфекцию COVID-19, что является большой редкостью в практике врача-аритмолога. Авторами проведен анализ возможных механизмов рецидива аритмии, а также даны рекомендации по дальнейшим стратегиям ведения пациентов с постковидным синдромом проявляющегося клиникой нарушений ритма сердца. Интерес к данному клиническому случаю объясняется тем, что коронавирусная инфекция COVID-19 может давать такие осложнения как нарушение ритма сердца с рецидивом после успешной радиочастотной аблации даже у молодых спортивных людей, которые ведут здоровый образ жизни.
Тыныс алу жүйесінің зақымдануынан кейінгі COVID-тен кейінгі синдромның жетекші көрінісі жүрек аритмиясы болып табылады. Миокардтың фиброзы немесе тыртықтары, сондай-ақ вирустық инфекциядан туындаған кардиомиопатия қайталанатын аритмияға әкелуі мүмкін. Бұл мақалада COVID-19 инфекциясы бар емделушіде сәтті радиожиілік абляциясынан кейін AV түйінінің қайта енуінің клиникалық жағдайы сипатталған. Авторлар аритмияның қайталануының ықтимал механизмдерін талдады, сонымен қатар клиникалық түрде жүрек ырғағының бұзылуы ретінде көрінетін пост-COVID синдромы бар науқастарды басқарудың одан әрі стратегиялары бойынша ұсыныстар берді. Бұл клиникалық жағдайға қызығушылық COVID-19 коронавирустық инфекциясы, тіпті салауатты өмір салтын ұстанатын жас спортшыларда сәтті радиожиілік абляциядан кейін қайталанатын жүрек аритмиясы сияқты асқынуларды тудыруы мүмкін екендігімен түсіндіріледі.
Cardiac arrhythmias are the leading manifestation of post-COVID syndrome after respiratory system damage. Fibrosis or scarring of the myocardium, as well as cardiomyopathy caused by a viral infection, can lead to recurrent arrhythmias. Сlinical case of AV nodal re-entry tachycardia recurrence after successful radiofrequency ablation in a patient with a history of COVID-19 infectionis described here. The authors analyzed the possible mechanisms of arrhythmia recurrence, and also gave recommendations on further strategies for managing patients with post-COVID syndrome, which clinically manifests as cardiac arrhythmias.The interest in this clinical case is explained by the fact that COVID-19 coronavirus infection can cause complications such as heart rhythm disturbance with recurrence after successful radiofrequency ablation, even in young physically active people of healthy lifestyle.

Published: October 2022

Propionibacteria have mainly been found in dairy products and on the skin of humans and animals. This genus classified as non-producing PHA but in this study we show that Propionibacterium sp. can produce PHA. A member of the genus Propionibacterium was isolated from soil. The isolate was identified based on its gram positive pleomorphic rods. Cells occur short chains, singly or in pairs, in V or Y configurations. On mineral salt agar colonies are semi-opaque, convex, glittering and often pigmented in orange in color, biochemical tests and 16SrDNA also done. The 16SrDNA analysis confirmed 85% identity to Propionibacterium (accession number NR 074675.1). The presence of 3HB was identified, based on the analysis of NMR. 13C and 1H NMR analysis confirmed that Propionibacterium sp was able to produce PHA.polymer. These confirm the results of GC. The isolate was then grown on media with waste glycerol (WG), palm oil, different concentration of glucose and one stage and two stages of cultivation. This lead to the conclusion that Propionibacterium is able to grow utilizing waste glycerol, palm oil and different concentration of glucose as the sole carbon source under limited conditions. The PHA content 3 (wt%) and the composition (mol%) and (86% 3HB) when used glucose 2% at frist stage cultivation. while the PHA content 13 (wt %) when used palm oil and 5 (wt%) when utilized (WG), as sole carbon source.

Published: October 2022

Introduction:
Limited studies have compared minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) with anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) for the treatment of isthmic spondylolisthesis. This study aims to compare perioperative variables, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) achievement rates between these surgical approaches.

Methods:
Patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis undergoing primary, single-level MIS TLIF or ALIF were identified in a surgical database. Patients were divided into MIS TLIF and ALIF cohorts. Demographics and perioperative characteristics were collected and compared between groups using the chi square test or Student t-test. PROMs including the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function, 12-Item Short Form Physical Composite Score, visual analog scale (VAS) back, VAS leg, and Oswestry Disability Index were collected at preoperative, 6-, 12-week, 6-month, 1-, and 2-year time points. Mean PROMs were compared using the Student t-test for independent samples. MCID attainment was determined using established values in the literature; achievement rates by grouping were compared using chi square analysis.

Results:
One hundred seventy-one patients were included, 121 MIS TLIF and 50 ALIF. No demographic differences were observed. Mean surgical times were 139.7 minutes (MIS TLIF) and 165.5 minutes (ALIF) (P < 0.001). No other perioperative differences were observed. Mean estimated blood loss values were 63.8 mL (MIS TLIF) and 73.7 mL (ALIF). Mean postoperative lengths of stay were 43.9 hours (MIS TLIF) and 42.5 hours (ALIF). Mean PROMs did not markedly differ among groups at any time point. MCID attainment was markedly higher among MIS TLIF patients for the Oswestry Disability Index at 6 weeks (P = 0.046) and 12 weeks (P = 0.007), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function at 12 weeks (P = 0.015), and VAS leg at 6 weeks (P = 0.031) and 12 weeks (P = 0.045). No other notable differences were observed among MCID achievement by grouping.

Discussion:
While single-level ALIF demonstrated markedly higher surgical times, other perioperative characteristics and PROMs were comparable among ALIF and MIS TLIF patients. Although MCID achievement rates were generally lower for disability and leg pain among ALIF patients, significance was not reached at 6 months, 1 year, or during the overall postoperative period after fusion.
