Authors: Kopecký Adam , Rokohl Alexander C. , Heindl Ludwig M. 
Published: August 2022

IntroductionThe lateral tarsal strip is one of the basic surgical techniques in ophthalmic plastic surgery. It is used in many indications, predominantly in ectropion repair. Even though there are alternatives, it is probably one of the most popular techniques in ophthalmic plastic surgery. The lateral tarsal strip is also part of bigger surgical procedures (such as midface lifting, entropion surgery, reconstruction surgery, or a part of some surgical approaches to the orbit). The aim of this review is to assess the most common ways of usage of the lateral tarsal strip, to cover its alternatives, and to discuss the future of this technique.MethodsWe have search PubMed and Web of Science and went through articles about lateral tarsal strip. We have also searched for other techniques that used the lateral tarsal strip and included these articles in our review. We have analyzed the major articles and made a review about the topic.ResultsAs a natural part of many advanced surgical techniques and as a major surgical technique for lower eyelid ectropion repair, the lateral tarsal strip remains an important part of modern ophthalmic plastic surgery.

Published: August 2022

The recent study investigates tertiary students' perspectives on the implementation of the TOEFL benchmark score as a graduation requirement. There were 100 students chosen randomly in this study. Their perspectives were gathered through a questionnaire and an interview to know the students’ strategies and difficulties in answering the TOEFL test. The results showed that most students agree with the TOEFL benchmark as a graduation requirement however they face obstacles in answering the test. From the interview, the result showed that they had difficulties in answering the listening and grammar sections. This resulted in unfamiliarity with foreign sounds and a lack of practice. Besides, students felt that the minimum TOEFL score for the graduation requirement was beyond their ability since most students were not introduced to TOEFL from the beginning of their study. Most students used their strategies in learning TOEFL through searching some materials on the internet as well as from the module they got from English courses. Such strategies help them to increase their ability to improve their TOEFL score.
Autoritarismo brasileiro e violência na filosofia de Marilena Chaui
Authors: Alves Ramos Hans Magno 
Published: August 2022

Este artigo expõe alguns dos traços mais relevantes da interpretação de Marilena Chaui da realidade brasileira: o autoritarismo social e a violência. É explorado o sentido dessas duas concepções, a partir de sua constituição histórica e ideológica no Brasil, bem como a ligação que ambas possuem, o que não deixa de influir na conceituação de cada uma delas. O autoritarismo social é a continuação, mesmo em ambiente descolonizado, da colonização e da estrutura patriarcal e escravagista que fundaram o Brasil; trata-se dos processos de imposição da verticalização da sociedade a partir do senhor proprietário de terras em detrimento de pessoas escravizadas e do restante da população; da tendência, decorrente dessa desigualdade primitiva, de converter diferenças ou assimetrias em novas desigualdades e hierarquias; a imposição da colonização do espaço público pelas demandas privadas das oligarquias, servindo de bloqueio a reivindicações de inclusão e democracia. Em comum a esses três eixos, há um tipo de socialização histórica extremamente refratária ao ideal de igualdade. A violência, entendida por Chaui, como as práticas que tentam converter as pessoas em coisas, é o modo vital de atuação desse autoritarismo social. Uma sociedade assim, autoritária e violenta, só se reproduz por meio de diversos recursos ideológicos, que podem ser, grosso modo, sintetizados em dinâmicas de: a) a ocultação das divisões sociais ou sobreposição da unidade em relação às divisões e b) o tratamento conformista das contradições inocultáveis. Conclui-se pela importância da filosofia de Marilena Chaui para entender o momento atual da história brasileira e alguns dos conceitos centrais da filosofia política.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Gaia data is helping to further understand the evolutionary status of post-AGB and related stars. In this paper we present an analysis of Gaia DR3 data of post-AGB stars and post-AGB binaries with accurate parallaxes. Gaia DR3 data of 44 post-AGB candidates are analyzed, including 16 post-AGB binary candidates. Of these, 19 stars have RUWE values >1.4. For several stars, the calculated absolute luminosities confirm that they are indeed in post-AGB evolutionary stage. We find that 12 stars have relatively lower luminosities; some of them may be post-RGB stars and some may be post-HB stars. We find that IRAS 01427+4633 (BD+46 442), IRAS 16230–3410, and IRAS 19199+3950 (HP Lyr) are evolved high velocity stars.

Published: August 2022

Background:
We investigated sensitivity to change of three scoring methods of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) in relation to change in disease activity in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Patients and Methods:
Adult RA-patients with complete data in the Measurement of Efficacy of Treatment in the Era of Outcome in Rheumatology database with respect to the 20 HAQ questions and disease activity score with 28-joint count using the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) for 2 visits, at least 6–12 months apart, and high disease activity (DAS28-ESR >5.1) at visit 1. Changes in HAQ scored by the (1) conventional method (HAQ-8), (2) HAQ-Tomlin method (HAQ-T), and (3) HAQ-20-item method (HAQ-20) were analyzed in relation to the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) RA response criteria, dichotomized to good/moderate and no response.

Results:
In 421 patients, mean standard deviation (SD) DAS28-ESR declined significantly (6.1 [0.8]–4.8 [1.6], P < 0.0001), over a mean period (SD) of 8.7 (1.9) months. Median HAQ scores improved by all three scoring methods, HAQ-8 (1.6–1.4); HAQ-T (1.2–0.7); and HAQ-20 (1.2–0.9) with similar effect sizes of 0.97, 0.96, and 0.95, respectively. The proportion who achieved a HAQ minimally clinically important improvement (MCII) of ≥0.22 was significantly higher in 47% of patients with EULAR good/moderate score compared to the no response patients (64% vs. 11%, P < 0.0001). Good/moderate EULAR response, higher baseline DAS28, and higher baseline HAQ (7.11, 1.55, and 1.06, respectively) were independent predictors of achieving a HAQ-MCII.

Conclusion:
Three HAQ scoring methods performed similarly in sensitivity to change with no advantage of alternative scoring methods compared to the conventional HAQ-8 method. A good/moderate EULAR response, despite long disease duration, was associated with a significant likelihood of achieving a HAQ-MCII.
Prevalence and characteristics of ponticulus posticus and its association with cervicogenic headache and migraine
Authors: Mokhtari Nasrin , Ashtari Fereshteh , Razavi Mehdi , Ghaffari Roshanak 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Ponticulus posticus (PP) (arcuate foramen) is an abnormal bony bridge in the posterior arch of the atlas, which could possibly cause certain complications such as headache. Our goal was to assess the prevalence and size of PP on lateral cephalometric radiographs and its relationships with cervicogenic headache and migraine.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was a descriptive–analytical type and was performed in Isfahan Azad Dental University. Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 150 patients referred to the radiology department were selected to assess the prevalence and size of the anomaly. A checklist was prepared to evaluate cervicogenic headache and migraine among patients.

Results:
Our sample consisted of 97 females and 53 males with an age range between 5 and 56 years. The prevalence of PP was 21.3% (12% complete and 9.3% incomplete), and an insignificant difference was noted between the prevalence of complete and incomplete foramen (P > 0.05). The prevalence of foramen was higher in women (59.4%), but it was not significant. The mean width of complete foramen was 6.40 mm, and the mean heights in individuals with complete and incomplete foramen were 4.71 and 4.84 mm, respectively. Among patients with the anomaly, 43.8% had cervicogenic headache and 9.4% had migraine. There was a significant association between the presence of foramen and both types of headaches (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between the shape of anomaly and the presence of cervicogenic headache and migraine (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
Our study showed a high prevalence of PP and its significant association with cervicogenic headache and migraine.

Authors: Sadidi Mohammad , Zare Ahad , Nasrollahzadehsabet Mehrdad , Dastan Farzaneh , Mosadegh Khah Ali , Jafari Asheyani Milad 
Published: August 2022

Background:
COVID-19 is responsible for the latest pandemic. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is one of the cellular receptors of interest for coronavirus. The aim of this study was to assess the roles of DPP-4 inhibitors in prognosis of COVID-19 infection in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Materials and Methods:
retrospective cohort study was performed in 2020 in military medical centers affiliated to AJA University of Medical Sciences in Tehran on 220 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were admitted in medical centers with COVID-19 infection. We collected demographic data of patients including age, gender, drug history, usage of DPP-4 inhibitors, clinical presentations at the time of the first visit, and the disease outcome including hospitalization duration and need for respiratory assist.

Results:
The study population consisted of 133 males (60.5%) and 87 females (39.5%), with a mean age of 66.13 ± 12.3 years. Forty-four patients (20%) consumed DPP-4 inhibitors (sitagliptin and linagliptin). Patients who were treated with DPP-4 inhibitors required less oxygen (O2) therapies compared to other cases (76.7% vs. 88.6%, P = 0.04). Patients who were treated with DPP-4 inhibitors had significantly lower hospitalization duration compared to other cases (6.57 ± 2.3 days vs. 8.03 ± 4.4 days, respectively, P = 0.01). There were no significant differences between the two groups of patients regarding survival rates (P = 0.55). Age was a predictive factor for survival (odds ratio, 1.13; 95% confidence interval, 1.04–1.23; P = 0.004).

Conclusion:
DPP-4 inhibitors could significantly decrease hospitalization days in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were hospitalized for COVID-19. However, DPP-4 inhibitor usage showed no statistically significant impact on survival. Age was the important prognostic factor.

Authors: Movahedi Minoo , Niakan Zahra , Shahshahan Zahra , Hooshmand Meibodi Amir Reza , Babak Anahita , Saeidi Mahmoud 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Placenta adherent abnormality (PAA) is abnormal attachment of the placenta to the myometrium. This abnormal placenta binding has severe clinical consequences for the mother and the fetus. We investigated the outcomes of hypogastric arterial ligation (HAL) before hysterectomy compared to hysterectomy alone in pregnant women with PAA.

Materials and Methods:
In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 70 patients were randomly allocated to HAL along with hysterectomy and hysterectomy alone groups (35 in each Group). The total amount of intraoperative blood loss, the need for intraoperative blood products transfusion, frequency of deep vein thrombosis, duration of surgery, duration of hospitalization, and visceral trauma were compared between 2 Groups.

Results:
Finally, 64 patients completed the study protocol with mean age of 33.84 ± 4.25 years. The study groups were comparable in terms of basic baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. Visceral trauma was less frequently occurred in HAL group compared to hysterectomy alone (0% vs. 15.6%; P = 0.02). Intraoperative blood loss (1525 ± 536.41 cc vs. 2075 ± 889.36 cc; P = 0.001) and were significantly lower in HAL group compared to hysterectomy alone. Duration of operation (179.06 ± 36.28 vs. 197.66 ± 39.47; P = 0.05) and hospitalization (4.97 ± 2.20 vs. 6.10 ± 2.39; P = 0.03) also were significantly lower in HAL group.

Conclusion:
Our findings suggest that prophylactic HAL has a protective effect on the reduction of blood loss and less visceral trauma in pregnant women with PAA.
Are the Aetiologies of Traumatic Injuries Changing in Nigeria? Evidence from the Emergency Department of a Referral Hospital in Southwest Nigeria
Authors: Ojo Dele Owolabi , Oluwadiya Kehinde Sunday , Akanni Saheed Olatunde 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Traumatic injuries are a serious public health problem. The burden of these injuries is increasing globally, and there is evidence that the pattern is changing.

Objective:
The study had two objectives. The first was to determine the aetiology and clinical spectrum of trauma in a teaching hospital. The second was to determine whether these have changed compared with previous reports from the region.

Materials and Methods:
Between September 2017 and August 2018, data from injured patients who presented consecutively to the accident and emergency department at the Federal Teaching Hospital Ido-Ekiti, Nigeria, were prospectively collected using a trauma data form and analysed.

Results:
Road traffic crashes (RTCs) caused 75.6% of the injuries, and motorcycle crashes accounted for more injuries than all the other major causes of injuries combined. Compared with previous studies from the same hospital, assault has risen to the second position, whereas falls have fallen to the third position as causes of traumatic injuries. The Injury Severity Scores (ISS) of the patients ranged from 1 to 75, with a mean score of 7.01. The mortality rate was 2.5%. Time to treatment: odds ratio (OR) = 3.25 (1.1–10.0), ISS: OR = 1.172 (1.07–1.28), age: OR = 1.097 (1.013–1.188), and systolic blood pressure: OR=1.07 (1.106–1.025) were the significant predictors of mortality. No patient was transported to the hospital in an ambulance.

Conclusion:
The pattern of trauma in the subregion is changing as the proportion secondary to RTCs and motorcycle crashes is higher than previously reported studies from the area. The implication of this finding for the prevention of RTCs is discussed.
The Pain Control Efficacy of Zolpidem Versus Melatonin after Intervertebral Disc Herniation Surgery under General Anaesthesia
Authors: Modir Hesameddin , Moshiri Esmail , Mohammadi Alireza , Aghdasi Seyed V 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Postoperative pain management has been linked with multiple clinically relevant complications such as thromboembolism, myocardial ischaemia, and cardiac arrhythmias.

Objectives:
The present study moves towards an evidence-based approach to the therapeutic efficacy of zolpidem and melatonin in a better clinically meaningful pain relief following intervertebral disc herniation surgery under general anaesthesia.

Materials and Methods:
Undertaking a randomised, parallel-group, double-blind, clinical trial, 60 patients meeting eligibility (mean age ≈ 39, 50% female and 50% men) were offered intervertebral disc surgery at the Arak-based Valiasr Hospital and stratified into two interventional arms by block randomisation. Data including (i) pain (visual analog scale) and sedation (Ramsay sedation scale) scores during recovery and at all five initial 24-h time points (two, four, six, 12, 24); (ii) adverse events inclusive of mild nausea and dizziness, pethidine consumption; and (iii) ongoing haemodynamic parameters, including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation were collected. Data were analysed at a significance level of P = 0.05 (SPSS 20.0, IBM Corp).

Results:
Our results showed no perceived statistically significant between-arm difference in three functional haemodynamic parameters, duration of surgery, and adverse events, as well as in sedation and pain scores (P < 0.05). Our results showed no between-arm difference in analgesia and sedation, haemodynamic changes, and postoperative adverse events.

Conclusion:
The findings taken together lent a strong support for the highly encouraging efficacy of both drugs in affording adequate analgesia at 24 postoperative hours without any adverse events needing to be thought of. Therefore, both zolpidem and melatonin were promising postoperative pain relievers, while no drug is demonstrably superior to the other.

Introduction:
Neck of femur fractures in the elderly population are common and often a devastating condition. The optimal treatment has been a subject of debate. Arthroplasty has been shown to be the most viable treatment option. The high cost of total hip replacement makes hemiarthroplasty a suitable option in our environment.

Materials and Methods:
This study was designed to measure the outcome of hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture using Harris hip score in patients aged 60 and above at the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Dala, Kano, Nigeria.

Results:
Twenty-five consecutive patients 60 years and above with femoral neck fracture who met the inclusion criteria and gave consent were enrolled into the study. The mean Harris hip score at the pre-operative period was 16.92. Fourth week after the surgery, the mean Harris hip score was 69.96. The score rose further to 75.24 and 80.96 at 12 weeks and 6 months post-operatively. The difference between the mean pre-operative and post-operative scores at 4th week, 12th week, and 6th month was statistically significant. During the pre-operative period, all patients had a poor Harris hip score grade. Six months after the surgery, 7 patients (28%) had an excellent Harris hip score grade, 12 patients (48%) had good grades, and 1 patient (4%) had a fair Harris hip score grade. Five patients (20%) had a poor Harris hip score grade at 6 months.

Conclusion:
From the findings of this study, it can be concluded that early functional outcomes of hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture in the elderly are good and satisfactory.
