Multimodal analgesia in cardiac surgery sternotomy includes bilateral continuous erector spinae plane block (BC-ESPB). However, the effectiveness of the local anesthetic regimens is still uncertain.
The purpose of this study was to assess pain control achieved with a multimodal analgesia regimen including BC-ESPB at the level of T5 with PCA with a 0.125 % bupivacaine infusion and rescue boluses.
This is a descriptive case series study which recruited 11 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery through sternotomy in whom multimodal analgesia including BC-ESPB was used, between February and April 2021, at a fourth level institution.
All patients reported pain according to the numeric rating scale (NRS) ≤ 3 both at rest and in motion, at extubation and then 4 and 12 hours after surgery. After 24 hours the pain was NRS ≤ 3 in 100 % of the patients at rest and in 63.6 % in motion. At 48 h 81 % of the patients reported pain NRS ≤ 3 at rest and in motion. At 72h all patients reported pain NRS ≤ 3 at rest and 82 % in motion. The average intraoperative use of fentanyl was 2.35 µg/kg and postoperative hydromorphone was 5.3, 4.1 and 3.3 mg at 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively.
Hence, bilateral ESP block in continuous infusion plus rescue boluses allows for proper control of acute intra and post-operative pain.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI-TR) in patients with cancer pain.
Patients and methods: The study included 130 patients (70 females, 60 males; mean age: 56.1±13.3 years; range, 18 to 87 years) diagnosed with any type and stage of cancer between April 2017 and March 2018. Brief Pain Inventory, Pain Disability Index, EORTC QLQ C30 and Pain Management Index were used to collect data. The reliability of the scale was tested with `internal consistency` and its validity with `construct validity`. Cronbach`s alpha values of >0.70 were accepted as the threshold for internal consistency. Construct validity was tested in the context of structural validity with factor analysis and also tested in terms of convergent construct validity by investigating its correlation with the Pain Disability Index (PDI) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30).
Results: The internal consistency of pain severity and pain-related interference was found as 0.91 and 0.95, respectively. The alpha coefficient was found to be between 0.795 and 0.873 for the pain severity index and between 0.729 and 0.861 for the pain-related interference index. There was a clear link between the BPI-TR pain severity index and the ninth question in the EORTC QLQ-C30 (rho=0.66, p<0.05). The association between the BPI-TR interference index and the 19th question in the EORTC QLQ-C30 was also strong (rho=0.77, p<0.05). The correlation between the BPI-TR interference index and the PDI was found to be moderate (rho=0.50, p<0.05).
Conclusion: The BPI-TR was found to be a reliable and legitimate tool to evaluate cancer pain in the Turkish population.

Published: August 2022

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of brace treatment on the stress level and quality of life (QoL) of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
Patients and methods: A total of 194 adolescent individuals were evaluated in two groups: the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) group with 97 patients (20 males, 77 females; mean age: 13.9±1.8 years; range 10 to 18 years) and the control group with 97 age-and sex-matched participants (20 males, 77 females; mean age: 14.3±1.7 years; range 10 to 18 years) with no spinal deformity. The AIS group wore the Milwaukee brace or a thoracolumbosacral orthosis based on the location of the apical vertebra. All participants of the AIS group filled the Persian versions of the revised Scoliosis Research Society 22-item questionnaire (SRS-22r), the eight-item Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire (BSSQ)-Deformity, and BSSQ-Brace. The control group only answered the first 20 items (subtotal items) of the SRS-22r. The brace-related QoL and stress level were assessed based on sex, brace, and deformity types.
Results: The subtotal score of the SRS-22r in the AIS group was significantly lower than the control group (p<0.001). There was a significant difference between deformity-related stress and brace-related stress (p<0.001). Regarding the type of treatment, there were no significant differences in QoL and stress level between the Milwaukee brace and thoracolumbosacral orthosis groups (p>0.05). Moreover, there was a weak correlation between the BSSQ-Brace and the self-image, mental-health scores, and the total scores of the SRS-22r (r=0.39 to 0.42, p<0.001); the low level of perceived stress was associated with a high level of perceived QoL.
Conclusion: The stress due to brace treatment can decrease function/activity and self-image of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.

Authors: Vencúrik Tomáš , Fikar Jakub 
Published: August 2022

PURPOSE: This study focuses on the relationship between speed (acceleration, maximum speed, and change of direction speed) and explosive power of lower limbs represented by countermovement jump (CMJ) in semi-elite football players. METHODS: Twenty semi-elite football players (n = 20; 25.1 ± 6.2 years) participated in the study. All participants were assessed using the following 5 tests: countermovement jump (CMJ), 5-0-5 Agility test with dominant lower limb turn and non-dominant lower limb turn, 10-meter linear sprint, 30-meter linear sprint. RESULTS: Pearson’s correlations (p ≤ 0.05) calculated the relationship between CMJ and speed tests. Subjects displayed a very large correlation between 10 and 30-meter sprints and CMJ (r = −0.75 and −0.76). There was a moderate correlation between 505 COD tests (non-dominant and dominant) and CMJ (r = −0.54 and −0.61, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: There are large to very large relationships between speed and power attributes in semi-elite soccer players, especially between linear speed and CMJ. Improving the explosiveness and power of lower limbs can lead to increasing velocity and enhancing sport-specific speed. Keywords: acceleration, maximal speed, change of direction speed, countermovement jump, correlation

Authors: S. Amadi E. , N. Amaewhule M. , Okejim C. 
Published: August 2022

Background: Hidrocystoma is a rare benign swelling(tumour) of sweat glands also known as the cystic form of hidroadenoma, cystadenomas, sudoriferous cysts, and Moll’s gland. It has no racial or sex predilection. Its rarity and site of occurrence makes its management challenging due to limitation in knowledge of making diagnosis, treatment, availability of drugs and interventions and aesthetic concerns.
Presentation of Case: A 35 year old Nigerian woman from the Igbo ethnic group with tertiary level of education who presented to the dermatology outpatient clinic with a 10 year history of recurrent peri-orbital swelling associated with occasional pruritus. There was no history of similar lesion in any family member. Patient had resorted to self-medication and consulted different doctors prior to being referred to the dermatologist. Her physical examination was normal. She was also counselled about the disease and management options. She subsequently received seven sessions of the chemo-ablation using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) with remarkable improvement and has had no recurrence of lesions for the past 1 year.
Conclusion: Hidrocystomas can be successfully treated in our environment.
Transcriptional Switching of Host Defence Response to Combat Hemibiotrophic Fungal Infection

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Hemibiotrophic fungal pathogens cause major destruction to food and industrial crops globally. Their dual infection phases appear to be a winning strategy. The pathogen establishes an initial colonisation biotrophically keeping the host cells alive. It then shifts to the notorious necrotrophic mode of infection, killing the host cells resulting in biochemical and physiological impairment destructive to the whole plant. A better understanding of the molecular interaction at the early stage of infection is critical to save the infected crops. In this article, we integrate findings from different plant–pathogen pathosystems to provide a comprehensive evaluation about the defence response network, covering crops that are infected through the aerial and root tissues. The high‐throughput transcriptomics and metabolomics approaches as well as relevant biochemical and physiological analyses have revealed key genes and cellular components associated with signalling pathways and defence responses during the biotrophic and necrotrophic phases. Factors influencing the biotrophy to necrotrophy transition are discussed. Transcriptional reprogramming involving key regulatory proteins acting as master or key transcription factors to provide an effective two‐stage defence network in host plants is also elaborated.
Functional 2D Iron‐Based Nanosheets for Synergistic Immunotherapy, Phototherapy, and Chemotherapy of Tumor

Published: August 2022

AbstractImmunotherapy efficacy has been limited by tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs), which are the most abundant immune regulatory cells infiltrating around tumor tissues. The repolarization of pro‐tumor M2 TAMs to anti‐tumor M1 TAMs is a very promising immunotherapeutic strategy for cancer therapy. In this manuscript, multifunctional 2D iron‐based nanosheets (FeNSs) are synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method for the first time, which not only possess photothermal and photodynamic properties, but also can repolarize TAMs from M2 to M1. After modifying with polyethylene glycol and loading with bioreductive prodrug banoxantrone (AQ4N), abbreviated as APFeNSs, it can effectively repolarize TAMs from M2 to M1 and deliver AQ4N to tumor microenvironment (TME). Moreover, the repolarized M1 TAMs overexpress inducible nitric oxide synthase, which can convert nontoxic AQ4N to cytotoxic AQ4 under hypoxic TME, enabling immunomodulation‐activated chemotherapy. A series of in vitro and in vivo results corroborate that APFeNSs effectively exert photothermal and photodynamic effects and repolarize M2 TAMs to M1 TAMs, releasing inflammatory factors and activating the chemotherapeutic effect, thereby realizing synergistic tumor therapy.

AbstractIt is not resolved which model describes better the aqueous‐phase nucleation and growth of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), the classical one‐step one or the nonclassical multi‐step one. Here, we design a room‐temperature reaction to trap reaction intermediates in the prenucleation stage of ZnSe QDs (as a model system). We show that the trapped intermediate can transform to magic‐size clusters (MSCs) via intra‐molecular reorganization and can fragment to enable the growth of QDs. The MSCs exhibit a sharp optical absorption peaking at 299 nm, labelled MSC‐299. The intermediate, the precursor compound (PC‐299) of MSC‐299, is optically transparent at 299 nm and to longer wavelengths. This intermediate forms in various Zn and Se reaction systems. The present study provides unambiguous evidence that the nonclassical and classical pathways are both necessary to explain the nucleation and growth of aqueous‐phase QDs, with the former pathway favored more by high reaction concentrations.
