Nine Poisons and a Broken Promise
Authors: Little Layne R. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This paper traces the formation, dissemination, and impact of a corpus of narratives about an alchemical icon of the god Murukaṉ. It was purportedly crafted by Bhogar, a Siddhar-alchemist, at the Tamil temple site of Palani in ancient times. These narratives, beginning in the early twentieth century, asserted that any object coming into direct contact with the icon was imbued with miraculous healing properties. Such lore placed Palani as a unique pilgrimage site, attracting pilgrims from the world over, and stimulating its economy to an unprecedented degree, making it the second wealthiest temple in India. Eventually, the demand for icon-touched substances and the assertion of the icon’s healing properties reached its terminal limit, whereby the body of the god itself became available for sale, first as scrapings and then, in a complicated conspiracy of bait and switch, in its entirety. This article explores how recent myths respond to the challenges of late colonial modernity in the 1930s and Tamil identity politics in the twenty-first century.
Leveraging graph algorithms to speed up the annotation of large rhymed corpora
Authors: BALEY Julien 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Rhyming patterns play a crucial role in the phonological reconstruction of earlier stages of Chinese. The past few years have seen the emergence of the use of graphs to model rhyming patterns, notably with List’s (2016) proposal to use graph community detection as a way to go beyond the limits of the link-and-bind method and test new hypotheses regarding phonological reconstruction. List’s approach requires the existence of a rhyme-annotated corpus; such corpora are rare and prohibitively expensive to produce. The present paper solves this problem by introducing several strategies to automate annotation. Among others, the main contribution is the use of graph community detection itself to build an automatic annotator. This annotator requires no previous annotation, no knowledge of phonology, and automatically adapts to corpora of different periods by learning their rhyme categories. Through a series of case studies, we demonstrate the viability of the approach in quickly annotating hundreds of thousands of poems with high accuracy.
Agentless presupposition and implicit and non-canonical objects in Mandarin
Authors: ZHANG Niina Ning 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Mandarin Chinese allows implicit, non-canonical, and quantity-objects. The first type is seen in Wǒ zhǎo-guò-le ‘Lit.: I looked for’, which means ‘I have looked for some entity that is known to the interlocutors’. The second type is seen in Lìlì qiē-le nà bǎ dà dāo ‘Lit.: Lili cut that big knife’, which means that Lili cut something with that big knife. The third type is seen in zǒu-le yī lǐ ‘walked one mile’. From the perspective of the interaction of yòu ‘again’ with different kinds of objects, this paper shows that while implicit objects and quantity-objects behave like explicit canonical objects, non-canonical objects do not behave like canonical ones. This paper provides new evidence to support Zhang Niina Ning’s (2018, Natural Language and Linguistic Theory 36: 1395–1437) claim that a non-canonical object restricts the meaning of the verb, rather than saturates any argument of the verb. It also supports the internal argument analysis of post-verbal quantity expressions.
Scripture and Politics in Malaysia: The Qur’ānic Exegesis of Abdul Hadi bin Awang
Authors: Mohd Zarif Muhammad Mustaqim 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) is the only official political organisation in the country that propagates the political Islam agenda and strives to establish the Islamic state. In harnessing public support, the Qurʾān is extensively utilised by the party leaders to justify their political agenda. In this regard, it is important to note the significant contribution of its prolific president, Abdul Hadi bin Awang. Despite the extensive influence of his Qurʾānic exegesis, it has yet to be sufficiently analysed. Therefore, this paper discusses the methodological trend of his political interpretation of the Qurʾān and analyses its widespread impact on the society. Notwithstanding the complexity of the subject matter, it is hoped that the outcomes will shed some light on the role of Qurʾān as a scripture in the present-day political scene of Malaysia.
Immunization and Quarantine in the Light of the Prophetic Traditions with Reference to the UAE Quarantine Policies for Fighting COVID-19
Authors: Goje Kabiru 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Immunization is considered one of the most important means of protecting human beings against infectious disease. Allah, in His mercy, created means of immunization for the people. Immunization is more effective than any other means of controlling contagious diseases. Quarantine is also one of the most important means of curbing the spread of epidemic diseases in the contemporary era. The Prophet (PBUH) in several hadiths unequivocally explained the principles of immunization and quarantine. He prohibited people from entering the place affected by plague and prohibited the people of the place from leaving it. The aim of this paper is to study immunization and quarantine in the light of the Prophetic traditions with reference to the UAE’s COVID-19 infection control. The relationship between the two principles and the Prophetic traditions can thus be made clear. The research employs the analytical qualitative method using library-based research, examination of both primary sources of Islamic legislation (the Quran and the Sunna) and secondary sources (classical and modern literature of Muslim scholars). The research finds that there are a number of Prophetic traditions that mention medical immunization and quarantine. If put into practice, they would have a great impact in curbing the surge of any communicable disease and providing cure for other diseases.
Kulliyyāt Al-Tafsīr Dan Peranannya Dalam Pentafsiran Al-Quran

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Some contemporary scholars of the Qur’an seeks to popularize the use of the theory of kulliyyāt al-tafsīr in understanding the Quranic text which is very complex. In fact, this theory of kulliyyāt al-tafsīr can rival the Izutsu’s semantic theory espoused by some contemporary Quranic scholars. Therefore, this article seeks to explain the concept of kulliyyāt al-tafsīr thoroughly and at the same time reveal its significance in the field of Qur’anic exegesis. Through the collection of data related to kulliyyāt al-tafsīr scattered in various books of tafsir and ʿulūm al-Quran, the study can conclude that kulliyyāt al-tafsīr is a general conclusion produced by the exegetes about words and styles contained in the Quran. The significance of this theory can be highlighted through the identification of the role played by kulliyyāt al-tafsīr in the field of exegesis.

In this paper, we describe a new species, Potamophylax idliri sp. nov., from the Jastrebac Mountains in Serbia, which is morphologically most similar to Potamophylax coronavirus Ibrahimi, Bilalli & Vitecek 2021 (in Ibrahimi et al. 2021) and Potamophylax juliani Kumanski 1999 (in Kumanski & Malicky 1999). The males of the new species differ from all known species of the Potamophylax winneguthi Species Group by morphological characters of the male genitalia. The genetic distinctiveness calculated based on sequencing of the barcode region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) between Potamophylax idliri sp. nov. and other species of the Potamophylax winneguthi Species Group is on par with those of other morphologically recognized species in the group and especially the other four species of the P. winneguthi Species Cluster. Potamophylax winneguthi Species Cluster is erected for the following species: P. idliri sp. nov., P. winneguthi, P. haidukorum Malicky 1999 (in Kumanski & Malicky 1999), P. juliani, and P. coronavirus, characterized primarily by the bilobed apical margins of inferior appendages with pointed corners, in lateral and caudal views.
The new species was found at two localities in the Jastrebac Mountains, at 988 and 891 m above sea level. Considering the knowledge about distribution and ecology of the other species of this group, we posit that P. idliri sp. nov. is a microendemic of the Jastrebac Mountains in Serbia.

Background Currently, there is no nationally accepted protocol for addressing weight regain or inadequate weight loss after MBS. Objectives To devise, implement, and evaluate a protocol targeting weight regain or inadequate weight loss in MBS patients at our institution. Setting Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, United States Methods Patients at least 6 months following primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) who achieved or were trending toward <50% excess body weight loss or who regained ≥10% of their lowest postoperative weight, were identified and referred for medical weight loss (MWL) intervention. Exclusion criteria were body mass index (BMI) ≤ 27 kg/m2, treatment with adjustable gastric banding, and conversion from SG to RYGB. Results 2274 patients who were >6 months out from surgery were evaluated over 12 months. 93 patients (86% female) met criteria for inclusion. 69 (74%) patients agreed to intervention and were followed for an average of 165 days (SD 106.89 days), demonstrating a mean weight change of −5.11 kg (SD 6.86 kg), and BMI change of −1.81 kg/m2 (SD 2.37 kg/m2). Patients who spent <90 days in a MWL program demonstrated less average weight loss (1.75 kg vs 6.48 kg) ( P = .0042), and less change in BMI (−.63 kg/m2 vs −2.29 kg/m2) ( P = .0037) when compared to patients who spent >90 days in the MWL intervention. Conclusions This study identifies criteria for intervention in patients suffering weight regain or inadequate weight loss after MBS and demonstrates that standardized identification and referral for treatment results in modest weight loss.

Published: March 2022

Introduction Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has not been associated with a long-term survival advantage compared to open esophagectomy (OE). We investigated survival differences between MIE, including laparoscopic and robotic, and OE. Methods Patients undergoing esophagectomy from 2010 to 2014 with T1-4N0-3M0, adenocarcinoma or squamous cell histology, in middle or lower esophagus were queried from the National Cancer Database and stratified into groups based on their surgical procedure: robotic, laparoscopic, or OE. Propensity matching (1:1) was done between robotic and laparoscopic to produce an MIE group. The MIE group was matched to OE yielding a 1:1:2 matching of robotic:laparoscopic:OE. Postoperative outcomes and survival (Kaplan-Meier) were compared between groups. Results Prior to matching, 7,163 patients met inclusion criteria and a greater portion underwent OE (67.7%) than MIE (laparoscopic 24.9% and robotic 7.4%). Matching yielded similar groups (robotic = 527, laparoscopic = 527, and OE =1054). Compared to OE, MIE patients had a significantly greater number of nodes sampled and trended toward increased R0 resections (96.1% vs 94.3%, P = .053). OE was associated with a longer median postoperative stay (10 vs 9 days, P = .001). Mortality at 30 and 90 days was similar . However, postoperative survival for MIE was significantly greater than OE ( P < .001). No survival difference existed between robotic and laparoscopic ( P = .723). Conclusions MIE is associated with increased number of nodes examined and a shorter postoperative length of stay. After propensity matching, patients undergoing MIE had better long but not short-term survival than OE. This benefit seems to be independent of the use of robotic technology.

Published: March 2022

Background Accurate and timely injury identification is critical but difficult to achieve in trauma patients who die shortly after arrival to the hospital. Autopsy has historically been used to detect injuries, but few undergo formal autopsy. This study investigates the utility of post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) for injury identification in a diverse trauma population. Methods Cross-sectional study of adult trauma patients who died within 24 hours of arrival to a Level I trauma center were included. Among patients with PMCT, injury severity score (ISS) and number of injuries (NOI) were calculated either from physical exam alone (pre-PMCT) or exam and imaging (post-PMCT). ISS and NOI before and after PMCT were compared. A cause of death analysis was performed for patients who underwent comprehensive (ie, head, neck, and torso) PMCT. Non-parametric repeated measures tests were used, as appropriate. Results 7.3% (N = 28) of patients received PMCT. Compared to pre-PMCT, median ISS (21 vs 3.5) and NOI (5 vs 2) were greater post-PMCT ( P < .001, respectively). Autopsy rate was 13.2% overall; 82.5% of autopsies were due to a penetrating mechanism, and median time to autopsy reporting was 38.5 days. Among 17 patients who received comprehensive PMCT, 64.7% had a single cause of death identified, and the remaining were classified as either multiple potential contributors or unknown. Discussion PMCT is a readily available method to identify injuries in trauma patients who expire shortly upon presentation. Given the low autopsy rate for blunt trauma and delay in reporting, PMCT is an important adjunct for trauma providers.

Published: March 2022

Objectives Whether incompetent perforator veins (IPVs) require treatment remains controversial. We retrospectively evaluated the feasibility of IPV excision performed using the stab avulsion technique without ligation and sutures in patients undergoing endovenous ablation (EA). Methods This was a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study. EA was performed in 1503 consecutive patients, including 33 patients with ulcers, between December 2014 and May 2021. Varicectomy was performed using the stab avulsion technique; IPV cases were included. Results Stab avulsion was performed at a mean number of 11.4 ± 7.8 sites. No deep vein thromboses or pulmonary emboli were noted. The incidence of nerve injury was 0.3%. All 33 (100%) patients with ulcers achieved healing by 1 year (median: 55.5 days; range: 13–365 days). Conclusions IPV excision via stab avulsion may be a viable option for treating varicose veins and ulcers. This technique offers multiple advantages, including simplicity, safety, and reduced healthcare costs.

Objective To investigate functional exercise capacity and its relationship between physical activity levels, muscle strength, balance, fatigue, and quality of life in patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis. Methods Fifteen patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis were included. The 6-minute walk test was used to determine functional exercise capacity and walking distance. The Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire and pedometer were used to evaluate physical activity, Timed-Up and Go for dynamic balance, isokinetic testing for lower extremity muscle strength, Fatigue Severity Scale for fatigue, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) for quality of life. Results The 6-minute walking distance was positively correlated with GLTEQ and the School-Work subgroup score of the PedsQL-Self-report, and negatively correlated with Timed-Up and Go and Fatigue Severity Scale. Dynamic balance, physical activity, and fatigue were significant predictors of 6-minute walking distance. Conclusions Our results showed that 6-minute walk test is influenced by physical activity, dynamic balance, and fatigue, and related to quality of life in patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis.

Published: March 2022

Background The treatment of discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is often challenging, especially in patients who are refractory or intolerant to topical treatments and first-line systemic drugs, specifically antimalarial drugs. Although acitretin has been shown to be effective in patients with DLE in a few studies, there is no published study describing the long-term efficacy of acitretin with a validated score. Objectives To evaluate the efficacy and safety of acitretin in patients with antimalarial-refractory/intolerant DLE. Methods A prospective, open-label, uncontrolled study was conducted in patients with antimalarial-refractory/intolerant DLE. All patients were treated with an initial dosage of 10 mg acitretin daily. Clinical response was assessed using the Revised Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index (RCLASI) at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 24. Acitretin was increased to 25 mg daily unless an adequate response was achieved at week 8. Results Fourteen patients were recruited. Of these, 10 were antimalarial-refractory and four were antimalarial-intolerant. The acitretin therapy was discontinued in one patient after 20 weeks of treatment because of active systemic disease. Of the 13 remaining patients, the mean RCLASI activity scores declined from 21 ± 9 at baseline to 9 ± 4 at week 24. A significant reduction in RCLASI was initially observed at week four and consistently noted at each follow-up visit ( p ≤ 0.01). At the end of the study, a marked response was achieved in approximately 80% of patients. There were no statistically significant differences in the clinical response or in the requirement of the up-dosing of acitretin between the refractory and intolerance groups ( p = 0.88 and p = 0.326, respectively). Age ≥50 years old, female sex, and generalized DLE were the favorable prognostic factors. No serious adverse events were noted. Conclusions Acitretin appears to be an effective treatment with acceptable safety profiles for antimalarial-refractory/intolerant DLE.

Introduction Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) makes 60–70% of gliomas and 15% of primary brain tumors. Despite the availability of standard multimodal therapy, 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years survival rate of GBM are still low. Active immunotherapy is a relatively new treatment option for GBM that seems promising. Methods An electronic database search on PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and clinicaltrials.gov was performed to include all relevant studies. This study was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Reported parameters are OS, PFS, AEs, post treatment KPS, and 2 year mortality. Results Active immunotherapy provided better OS (HR = .85; 95% CI = .71–1.01; P = .06) and PFS (HS = .83; 95% CI= .66 – 1.03; P = .11) side albeit not statistically significant. Active immunotherapy reduces the risk of 2 year mortality as much as 2.5% compared to control group (NNT and RRR was 56.7078 and 0,0258, respectively). Conclusion Active immunotherapy might be beneficial in terms of survival rate in patients with GBM although not statistically significant. It could be a treatment option for GBM in the future.

Published: March 2022

Background While biologic therapies revolutionized treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), some adverse effects have been noted. This includes the development and exacerbation of PsA in patients on biologic agents, however the outcomes were not extensively explored. Objective To perform a systematic review to characterize the outcomes of PsA onset or exacerbation secondary to biologic use. Methods MEDLINE and EMBASE search conducted on March 23, 2021 resulted in 18 studies comprised of 64 patients. Results Of the 64 patients, 57 (89.1%) experienced new-onset PsA and 7 (10.9%) experienced exacerbation of preexisting PsA following exposure to a biologic; most commonly a TNF-α inhibitor (42.2%, n = 27/64) and IL-12/23 inhibitors (39.1%, n = 25/64). The mean durations of biologic use before PsA onset and exacerbation were 14.8 months and 5.2 months, respectively. Twenty-four patients (44.4%) subsequently switched to an alternate biologic without further reports of PsA-related adverse events. All 64 patients reported a specific treatment for PsA; most commonly discontinuation of the associated biologic agent (32.8%, n = 21/64). Complete resolution of PsA was reported in 35.9% ( n = 23/64) of cases, of which 91.3% ( n = 21/23) resulted after discontinuation of biologic. Conclusion Although we characterized outcomes of PsA induction and exacerbation secondary to biologic use, large-scale studies are required.
