Published: December 2022

ObjectiveThis study focused on the relationship between achievement motivation and college students’ general self-efficacy, and aimed to explore the mechanism of action between achievement motivation and general self-efficacy.MethodsThrough convenience sampling, 1,076 college students were investigated from Anhui Province in China. Achievement motivation, general self-efficacy, perceived social support, and sports participation were evaluated using standard scales. For data analysis, Pearson’s correlation analysis, structural equation model test, and bias-corrected percentile Bootstrap method were carried out.ResultsCommon method biases can be accepted in this study. (1) Achievement motivation can directly affect general self-efficacy and make a positive prediction; (2) Perceived social support plays a mediating role between achievement motivation and general self-efficacy, that is, achievement motivation can indirectly affect general self-efficacy through perceived social support; (3) Sports participation plays a moderating role in the first half of the mediating path of “achievement motivation → perceived social support → general self-efficacy.” The interaction between achievement motivation and sports participation affects perceived social support, and then indirectly affects general self-efficacy. In this moderated mediation model, The predictive effect of achievement motivation on perceived social support is significantly different among individuals with different levels of sports participation.ConclusionPerceived social support plays a part of mediating role between achievement motivation and college students’ general self-efficacy, which is moderated by sports participation.

Dan pada bagian akhir dari ayat tersebut merupakan pertanyaan yang bermakna perintah. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa al-Qur’an mudah untuk dihafalkan dan Allah juga menantang hamba-Nya untuk membuktikan statemen tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa para santri penghafal Qur’an memiliki beragam problem selama kegiatan menghafal al-Qur’an. Ada 2 Problem yang dibedakan yaitu problem internal (dalam diri) dan problem eksternal (luar diri). Seperti rasa malas, tidak sabar dan putus asa, tidak bisa mengatur waktu dan memanfaatkan waktunya dengan baik, tidak mampu disiplin pada kegiatan tahfidz, lupa, bermaksiat, ada masalah dengan lingkungan fisik dan sosialnya. Beragam problem yang dihadapi para santri penghafal Qur’an, menuntut santri untuk aktif serta inovatif untuk mencari solusi atas problematika yang mereka dihadapi. Dan usaha-usaha yang mereka lakukan adalah dengan cara berwudlu, ber-mujahaddah, mencari kegiatan yang positif, berkonsultasi dengan para asatidz, orang tua dan teman , membaca buku-buku inspiratif, bersabar dan tetap beristiqamah meski mengalami kendala dalam menghafal, istirahat yang cukup, berusaha memahami dan mengamalkan isi ayat yang sudah dihafal untuk menguatkan hapalan. Dengan begitu para santri menciptakan suasana dan lingkungan yang kondusif dan nyaman untuk mereka menghafal.

Objective: The objective of the current study was to compare the clinical outcomes of a micro-endoscopic discectomy with an open discectomy.
Materials & Methods: This Quasi-experimental study was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery, Alrazi Healthcare, Lahore, and Ammar Medical Complex, Lahore. The sample consisted of 40 patients with lower back pain with radiation to the lower limbs. A lumbar disc single-segment hernia was diagnosed based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Independent sample t-test was used to explore the difference in outcomes and level of pain between group A and group B. Chi-square test was used to compare the recovery rate of patients in both groups.
Results: A significant difference between the two groups in terms of surgery duration (t = 15.977, P = .000), blood loss during surgery (t = -10.256, P = .000), length of incision (t = -58.355, P = .000), and hospital stay after surgery (t = -4.687, P = .000) was found. The overall recovery rate for the micro-endoscopic Discectomy group was 95% whereas, in the open discectomy group, it was 90%.
Conclusion: Micro-endoscopic discectomy is superior to open discectomy in terms of lesser surgical trauma, lesser blood loss, lesser hospital stay, earlier return to work, and higher pain resolution.

Objective: To assess the post-operative status of Facial Nerve in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lesion via retro-sigmoid approach and also its complications and outcome.
Materials & Methods: This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Neurosurgery, JPMC Karachi from a period of 10-12-2021 to 10-06-2022.The sample size of our study was 37 patients. All the patients were operated for CPA lesions and followed for three months to assess the outcome efficacy.
Results: Our study showed that the mean age was 37 years, with a range of 27 to 65 years, in which the males were 18 (48.6%) and the females were 19 (51.4%). Out of 37 patients, 28 (75.7%) were diagnosed with vestibular schwannoma, while 6 (16.2%) were meningiomas, and 3 (8.1%) were epidermoid cysts. Gross total resection was performed in 14 (37.8%) patients, while subtotal resection (STR) in 23 (62.2%). Facial nerve function in terms of House-Brackmann at 3 months was found to be grade I in 26 (70.3%), grade II in 9 (24.3%), grade III in 1 (2.7%), and grade IV in 1 (2.7%).
Conclusion: The CPA is a small corridor through which important neurovascular structures pass. Identification of CN VII is important in large CPA tumours to preserve facial motor nerve function. For all kinds of CPA lesions, gross total excision should be the aim of surgery.

Published: December 2022

Background: Cervical spine stenosis is one of the most common degenerative changes of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and results in severe dysfunction of the cervical spinal cord. The conventional treatment of such degenerative cervical spine conditions is anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Strut graft remains the gold standard in ACDF with excellent patient recovery but has many shortcomings. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages have recently become popular as a replacement for strut grafts in patients undergoing ACDF.
Objective: This study was carried out to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of autologous bone grafts versus PEEK cages in patients undergoing ACDF surgery.
Materials and Methods: It was a randomized controlled trial conducted at the Neurosurgery Department Punjab Institute of Neurosciences for three years. Patients who consented to be a part of this study and fulfilled our predefined inclusion criteria were recruited and randomized into 2 groups. One group underwent ACDF with auto bone graft whereas the other group underwent ACDF with PEEK cage.
Results: A total of 198 subjects were included in this study. The mean age was calculated as 47.60 ± 9.17 years in the PEEK cage group and 46.74 ± 8.87 years in the Autologous bone graft group. Males accounted for 59.6% of the study population. The fusion rate was found to be higher in the PEEK cage group with a p-value of 0.002.
Conclusion: PEEK cages are superior to strut grafts as they have lesser morbidity after ACDF surgery in patients with CSM.
