Posterior femoral cutaneous nerve sensory conduction study in a sample of apparently healthy Egyptian volunteers
Authors: Saba Emmanuel Kamal Aziz 
Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundPosterior femoral cutaneous nerve (posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh) is a sensory nerve arises from the sacral plexus. Its terminal part supplies the skin of the posterior surface of the thigh and popliteal fossa, and it extends for a variable length below the popliteal fossa till the mid-calf region. The aim was to assess the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve antidromic sensory conduction technique and estimate its different sensory nerve action potential parameters’ reference values in a sample of apparently healthy Egyptian participants. One hundred and twenty lower limbs of 60 apparently healthy Egyptian volunteers were included. Clinical evaluation and sensory conduction study for the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve were done.ResultsPosterior femoral cutaneous nerve sensory nerve action potential was elicited in 98 lower limbs (81.6%) of 52 individuals (86.7%). The obtained results of different parameters of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve sensory nerve action potential were as the following: onset latency (2.04 ± 0.21 ms), peak latency (2.86 ± 0.25 ms), conduction velocity (59.45 ± 6.36 m/s) and amplitude (6.16 ± 2.29 μV). No significant differences between the two genders were found regarding different parameters of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve sensory nerve action potential except for amplitude which was significantly larger among male participants (P = 0.030). No significant differences between the right and left lower limbs were found regarding different parameters of sensory nerve action potential. There was a statistical significant negative correlation between age and posterior femoral cutaneous nerve conduction velocity (P = 0.008). There was a statistical significant positive correlation between height and peak latency (P ≤ 0.0001), as well as, a statistical significant negative correlation between height and conduction velocity (P ≤ 0.0001). There was a statistical significant negative correlation between body mass index and posterior femoral cutaneous nerve peak latency (P = 0.008).ConclusionsThe research provides a reliable electrophysiological antidromic sensory conduction study for the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve and normal cut-off reference values for posterior femoral cutaneous nerve sensory nerve action potential parameters. This is essential for the evaluation of suspected posterior femoral cutaneous nerve lesions.
Anesthetic considerations in pediatric renal autotransplantation
Authors: Kapoor Hemlata , Shah Milin , Terdal Mohan K. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
Renal autotransplantation is a complex procedure involving reimplantation of the renal artery and vein at a different site. Anesthetic management of renal autotransplant is challenging because of associated morbidities and intraoperative hemodynamic changes.

Case presentation
We present a case of a 14-month-old male who had severe hypertension and cardiomyopathy due to renal artery stenosis. Echocardiography reported dilated left atrium and left ventricle, moderate to severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 30%. The renal artery and renal vein were anastamosed to the great vessels. Anesthetic management included maintaining normal baseline diastolic pressure, systemic vascular resistance, and preload and avoiding tachycardia. Milrinone infusion was used.

Conclusions
Anesthetic management was challenging as adequate perfusion pressures had to be maintained while keeping the patient hemodynamically stable.
Introducing a new Routledge Open Research collection: Digital Pedagogy
Authors: Hall Tony , Prestridge Sarah 
Published: December 2022

Sharing research represents an essential part of the research process. The act of making one’s research public (or publication as we commonly refer to it) is so important, it can be argued, that research ceases to be research if it is not shared or published. A key reason for the sharing (or publication) of research is, and always has been, the betterment of society. This obtains particularly in education, which has as its central focus the advancement of the public good. Since it first started to see widespread use in education in the 1990s, the Internet has affected a transformative impact on research publication and sharing. Web technologies have made research available on levels never previously conceivable. Platforms such as Routledge Open Research can enable researchers to share their work at different stages in its development, and in innovative and imaginative, new ways. It can serve as an important stepping stone towards the appreciation and valorisation of a wider range of research outputs and resources, beyond the mono-media academic manuscript. It is our pleasure, as inaugural international academic advisors, to introduce this exciting new hub for research in education and educational technology, Routledge Open Research’s new collection, Digital Pedagogy. As a flagship collection, we hope it affords a new space for educators and researchers around the world to communicate, collaborate and share their concepts and ideas, methodologies, data, outputs and resources in dialogic ways, where the educational community at large can participate meaningfully and creatively in the constructive conversation that is the hallmark of all engaged research in education and digital pedagogy.

Three wound types: common challenges with exudate, gaps and anatomical positioning
Authors: Muldoon Jeanette 
Published: December 2022

Complex wounds require combinations of technologies and regimes to match laboratory tests and address challenges of physiological processes, body contours, movement and ease of use during life-long self-management. Wound management for vascular and lymphatic disorders incorporate wound dressings, skin care and compression to address local wound needs and underlying pathologies, while allowing functionality for movement. In a similar manner, acute inflammatory conditions that become chronic require skin care and local conformable and absorbent wound management, but with simple, atraumatic retention methods without compression. Three types of conditions will be discussed in this article—venous leg ulcers with chronic oedema (VLU), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and pilonidal sinuses (PS). It focuses on overcoming challenges associated with excess exudate, compromised skin, dressing awkward areas and contours, while also demonstrating wound care similarities when administered by patients themselves.
Etiology, characteristics and occurrence of heart diseases in rural Lesotho (ECHO-Lesotho): A retrospective echocardiography cohort study
Authors: Ndongala Nzola John , Maepa Callixtina , Nyondo Emmanuel , Amstutz Alain , du Reau de la Gaignonnière Baptiste 
Published: December 2022

Background
In 2019, 600’000 people in Africa died of heart failure and heart diseases will increase on the continent. It is crucial to understand the regional etiologies and risk factors for heart failure and underlying heart diseases. However, echocardiography data from rural Africa are scarce and from Lesotho non-existent. This study aims to examine the occurrence, characteristics and etiology of heart failure and heart diseases using echocardiography data from a referral hospital in rural Lesotho.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study at Seboche Mission Hospital, the only referral hospital in Butha-Buthe district (Lesotho) with an echocardiography department. We included data from all individuals referred to the department between January 2020 and May 2021. From non-hospitalized patients echocardiographic diagnosis, sex and age were available, from hospitalized patients additional sociodemographic and clinical data could be extracted.

Results
In the study period, a total of 352 echocardiograms were conducted; 213 had abnormal findings (among them 3 children). The majority of adult participants (130/210; 64%) were female and most frequent heart diseases were hypertensive (62/210, 30%), valvular (39/210, 19%) and chronic pulmonary (37/210, 18%). Heart failure represented 11% of hospitalizations in the same period. Among the 126 hospitalized heart failure patients, the most common etiology was chronic pulmonary heart disease (32/126; 25%). Former mine workers and people with a history of tuberculosis were more likely to have a chronic pulmonary heart disease.

Conclusions
The leading cause of heart disease in this setting is hypertension. However, in contrast to other African epidemiological studies, chronic pulmonary heart disease is unexpectedly common. There is an urgent need to improve awareness and knowledge about lung diseases, make diagnostic and therapeutic options available and increase prevention.

Published: December 2022

Objectives
While studies have found lower cancer risks and better cancer survival in immigrant populations, it is debated whether cancer care is offered on equal terms to all residents regardless of background. Our aim was to study patterns of care and outcomes in immigrants in a country with a tax-financed universal health care system.

Material and methods
We used a population-based database to compare clinical presentation, management and mortality between Swedish-born and immigrant patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Analyses were adjusted for potential confounders.

Results
We identified 40,075 patients diagnosed with NSCLC of which 84% were born in Sweden, 7% in Nordic and 9% in Non-Nordic countries. Non-Nordic immigrants were to a higher extent male, smokers, younger at diagnosis, had a better performance status and a higher educational level. No differences were seen regarding comorbidity burden or stage at diagnosis. Non-Nordic immigrants more often underwent positron emission tomography (PET) (aHR 1.32; 95% CI 1.19–1.45) and were more often discussed in a multidisciplinary team setting (aHR 1.30; 95% CI 1.17–1.44). There were no differences in treatment modalities following adjustment for age, with the exception of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in stage IIIA disease which was more common in Non-Nordic immigrants (aOR 1.34; 95% CI 1.03–1.74). Both overall and cause specific survival in non-metastatic disease were higher among Non-Nordic immigrants. Overall mortality in stage I-II: HR 0.81; 95% CI 0.73–0.90 and stage IIIA: HR 0.75; 95% CI 0.65–0.86. Following full adjustments, cause-specific mortality in stage I-II was aHR 0.86, 95% CI 0.75–0.98.

Conclusion
Taken together, only minor differences in management and outcomes were observed between Swedish-born and immigrant patients. We conclude that lung cancer care is offered on equal terms. If anything, outcomes were better in Non-Nordic immigrants with early stage NSCLC.
Inositol-requiring enzyme 1α/X-box protein 1 pathway expression is impaired in pediatric cholestatic liver disease explants
Authors: Kriegermeier Alyssa , Hyon Angela , LeCuyer Brian , Hubchak Susan , Liu Xiaoying , Green Richard M. 
Published: December 2022

Background
Increased intrahepatic bile acids cause endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated to maintain homeostasis. UPR dysregulation, including the inositol-requiring enzyme 1α/X-box protein 1 (IRE1α/XBP1) pathway, is associated with adult liver diseases but has not been characterized in pediatric liver diseases. We evaluated hepatic UPR expression in pediatric cholestatic liver disease (CLD) explants and hypothesize that an inability to appropriately activate the hepatic IRE1α/XBP1 pathway is associated with the pathogenesis of CLD.

Methods
We evaluated 34 human liver explants, including: pediatric CLD (Alagille, ALGS, and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, PFIC), pediatric non-cholestatic liver disease controls (autoimmune hepatitis, AIH), adult CLD, and normal controls. We performed RNA-seq, quantitative PCR, and western blotting to measure expression differences of the hepatic UPR and other signaling pathways.

Results
Pathway analysis demonstrated that the KEGG ‘protein processing in ER’ pathway was downregulated in pediatric CLD compared to normal controls. Pediatric CLD had decreased hepatic IRE1α/XBP1 pathway gene expression and decreased protein expression of phosphorylated IRE1α compared to normal controls. IRE1α/XBP1 pathway gene expression was also decreased in pediatric CLD compared to AIH disease controls.

Conclusions
Pediatric CLD explants have decreased expression of the protective IRE1α/XBP1 pathway and down-regulated KEGG protein processing in the ER pathways. IRE1α/XBP1 pathway expression differences occur when compared to both normal and non-cholestatic disease controls. Attenuated expression of the IRE1α/XBP1 pathway is associated with cholestatic diseases and may be a target for future therapeutics.

Resistencia a la precariedad tecnológica en escuelas rurales colombianas durante el cierre por la Covid-19
Authors: Barragán-Giraldo Diego Fernando , Quiroga-Sichacá Luis Enrique , Acosta-Valdeleón Wilson 
Published: December 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar algunas resistencias a la precariedad tecnológica durante el cierre de las escuelas rurales en Colombia por la pandemia de la Covid-19. Con un enfoque cualitativo, metodológicamente se privilegiaron los elementos de la investigación narrativa mediante la producción y análisis de 65 relatos testimoniales de igual número de actores clave en la educación rural colombiana entre los que se encontraban docentes, rectores y coordinadores, funcionarios del Ministerio de Educación de Colombia y consultores con experiencia en proyectos de ejecución nacional; actores todos con experiencia en educación rural. Las conclusiones en relación con las formas de resistencia a la precariedad tecnológica pueden entenderse desde dos perspectivas: la primera tiene que ver con los usos de tecnologías análogas y digitales en una recombinación y reutilización de medios (radio, WhatsApp, Facebook, plataformas digitales, formas tradicionales como guías, material impreso, libros, folletos) que operan como interfaces comunicativas y educativas, la segunda remite a la labor de los docentes en relación con el cuidado pedagógico y los gestos de hospitalidad. Estos dos aspectos evidencian resistencias a la precariedad tecnológica, desde la precariedad misma, durante el cierre de las escuelas por la Covid-19, lo que a su vez no exime a los entes gubernamentales de su responsabilidad histórica por superar la desigualdad social y digital en la ruralidad colombiana.
