Authors: Ahn Yong , Park Han Byeol , Yoo Byung Rhae , Jeong Tae Seok 
Published: November 2022

BackgroundOpen decompression with fusion is the gold-standard surgical technique for spondylolisthesis. However, it may be too extensive for patients with foraminal stenosis with stable spondylolisthesis. The endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy (ELF) technique was developed as a minimally invasive surgical option for foraminal stenosis. Some authors have reported the outcomes of ELF for various spondylolistheses. However, few studies have demonstrated foraminal stenosis in advanced stable spondylolisthesis. This study aimed to describe the surgical technique and results of ELF for radiculopathy due to foraminal stenosis in patients with stable spondylolisthesis.MethodsConsecutive 22 patients who suffered from radiculopathy with spondylolisthesis underwent ELF. The inclusion criterion was unilateral radicular leg pain due to foraminal stenosis in stable spondylolisthesis. After the percutaneous transforaminal approach, foraminal decompression was performed using various surgical devices under endoscopic visualization. Surgical outcomes were measured using the visual analog pain score, Oswestry disability index, and modified MacNab criteria.ResultsPain scores and functional outcomes improved significantly during the 12-month follow-up periods. The rate of clinical improvement was 95.5% (21 of 22 patients). One patient experienced a dural tear and subsequent open surgery.ConclusionELF can be effective in foraminal stenosis in stable spondylolisthesis. Technical points specializing in foraminal decompression in spondylolisthesis are required for clinical success.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the effect of the intermediate pedicle screws and their insertion depth on sagittal balance and functional outcomes of lumbar fracture.MethodsThis study reviewed 1,123 patients with lumbar fractures between January 2015 and June 2019, and 97 patients were ultimately enrolled in this study: Group A: 32 patients in the four-pedicle screws fixation group; Group B: 28 patients in the six-pedicle screws fixation with long intermediate pedicle screws group; Group C: 37 patients in the six-pedicle screws fixation with short intermediate pedicle screws group. The radiographic outcomes were assessed with lumbar lordosis (LL), segmental lordosis (SL), fractured vertebral lordosis (FL), sacral slope (SS), pelvic incidence (PI), and pelvic tilt (PT). The visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores were used for assessing functional outcomes.ResultsThe PI, PT, and SS showed no significant differences between the three groups (P &gt; 0.05). Compared with Group A, Groups B and C showed better FL, SL, and LL 1 month after operation (5.96 ± 1.67/4.81 ± 1.49 vs. 8.78 ± 2.90, 24.39 ± 3.80/23.70 ± 4.10 vs. 20.09 ± 3.33, 39.07 ± 3.61/39.51 ± 3.23 vs. 36.41 ± 3.11, P &lt; 0.05) and at final follow-up (8.75 ± 1.40/6.78 ± 1.70 vs. 11.31 ± 2.61, 22.11 ± 3.39/23.70 ± 4.10 vs. 17.66 ± 2.60, 38.04 ± 3.49/39.51 ± 3.23 vs. 35.41 ± 3.11, P &lt; 0.05). The FL of Group C were significantly better than those of Group B 1 month after operation (4.81 ± 1.49 vs. 5.96 ± 1.67, P &lt; 0.05) and at final follow-up (6.78 ± 1.70 vs. 8.75 ± 1.40, P &lt; 0.05). No significant differences in VAS and ODI were found between Group A and Group B (P &gt; 0.05). There were also no significant differences in VAS and ODI between Group A and Group C (P &gt; 0.05). However, The VAS and ODI of Group C showed better than Group B 1 month after operation (3.05 ± 0.70 vs. 3.54 ± 0.79, 17.65 ± 3.41 vs. 19.71 ± 2.35, P &lt; 0.05) and at final follow-up (2.19 ± 0.46 vs. 2.57 ± 0.57, 13.81 ± 2.20 vs. 15.57 ± 1.73, P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionsBoth four-pedicle screw fixation and six-pedicle screw fixation were effective in treating lumbar fracture. However, six-pedicle screw fixation with short intermediate pedicle screws showed better radiographic and functional outcomes after surgery. Therefore, we recommend six-pedicle screws fixation with short intermediate pedicle screws for the long-term recovery of sagittal balance and function.

Published: November 2022

ObjectiveThe meta-analysis aimed to estimate the efficacy of prophylactic tamsulosin on postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in male patients.MethodsPapers were searched in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases with predetermined keywords up to March 1, 2022. The studies reporting the preventive efficacy of prophylactic tamsulosin on POUR among men were identified. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) were calculated based on the random-effects model. Meta-regression was performed to explore potential sources of heterogeneity.ResultsThere were 11 studies with 1,046 patients in the tamsulosin group and 1,113 patients in the control group. The risk of POUR was significantly lower in the tamsulosin group (123/1,046 [11.8%] vs. 238/1,119 [19.0%]; RR = 0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.43 to 0.87; P = 0.006; heterogeneity: I2 = 57%; P = 0.009). Administration of tamsulosin was related to higher risk of adverse events (57/688 [8.3%] vs. 33/624 [5.3%]; RR = 1.68; 95% CI: 1.13 to 2.48; P = 0.010; heterogeneity: I2 = 33%; P = 0.20). The level of evidence and mean age of the included patients were identified as the potential sources of heterogeneity.ConclusionThe present meta-analysis indicated that prophylactic tamsulosin helps in preventing POUR and younger patients might benefit more from this preventive regimen. Administrating tamsulosin was also associated with a possibly higher risk of adverse events.

Published: November 2022

ObjectiveTo determine the synovial fluid (SF) concentrations of lidocaine and mepivacaine after intra-articular injection with clinically relevant doses to the distal interphalangeal (DIP), metacarpophalangeal (MCP), middle carpal (MC), and tarsocrural (TC) joint at two different time points after injection in order to be able to compare concentrations with previously established concentrations associated with cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity.ProceduresIn the first of two experiments, 20 joints (5 MC, 5 MCP, 10 DIP joints) of five horses under general anesthesia were injected with clinically referenced doses of 2% lidocaine. Simultaneously, the horses had 19 joints (5 MC, 5 MCP, 9 DIP joints) injected with clinically referenced doses of 2% mepivacaine. Synovial fluid samples were collected ~7 min after injection. In experiment 2, 23 joints of seven horses under standing sedation were injected with clinically referenced doses of 2% lidocaine. Similarly, the horses had 21 joints injected with 2% mepivacaine. Synovial fluid samples were collected ~23 min after injection. The concentration of mepivacaine and lidocaine in the obtained SF samples was assessed using high-performance-liquid-chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (HPLC MS).ResultsSynovial fluid was obtained 6.8 ± 1.5 (experiment 1) and 23 ± 4.3 (experiment 2) min following intra-articular injection of mepivacaine and lidocaine. Synovial fluid concentrations of experiment 1 for lidocaine and mepivaciane were 6.46–19.62 mg/mL (mean 11.96 ± SD 3.89 mg/mL) and 5.01–13.38 mg/mL (mean 8.18 ± SD 1.76 mg/mL), respectively. In experiment 2, concentrations were 2.94–10.40 mg/mL (mean 6.31± SD 2.23 mg/mL) for lidocaine and 2.10–8.70 mg/mL (mean 4.97 ± SD 1.77 mg/mL) for mepivacaine.Conclusions and clinical relevanceIntra-articular LA injections in horses resulted in SF concentrations above those previously associated with cytotoxic effects in vitro but also above those associated with beneficial antimicrobial activities. Local anesthetic concentration was 33–60% lower after 23 min (experiment 2) than after 7 min (experiment 1).

Objectives: There is no study on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in pupils of Ho Chi Minh city (HCMC), the most overcrowded city in Vietnam. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of H. pylori and its geographical spread among school-aged children.Methods: A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 1854 pupils across 24 districts of HCMC in 2019. Multiple-stage sampling method was used to enroll pupils. We built a four-points index for geographical division based on population density and employees density to evaluate the link between H. pylori and crowded level. Stool samples were analyzed by monoclonal enzyme-immunoassay stool antigen-test to assess the infection status. Logistic regression was performed to assess possible factors related to H. pylori infection.Results: The overall prevalence of H. pylori was 87.7%. There was a linear increasing trend in the infection rate (p &lt; 0.001) across the 4-points index of HCMC and this trend maintained within both age and gender subgroups (p = 0.02).Conclusion: Prevalence of H. pylori was high and it increased with population density or employees density. Therefore, it is crucial to plan and implement the reduction of H. pylori infection programs by targeting the highly concentrated population areas of HCMC.

Published: November 2022

The giant freshwater prawn (GFP), Macrobrachium rosenbergii has emerged as a significant crustacean in global aquaculture. A cradle-to-farm Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was used to assess the potential environmental impacts of GFP in Malaysia. The four main iterative farming phases involved were pond preparation, stocking, farming, and harvesting. The impact categories chosen were global warming, terrestrial ecotoxicity, terrestrial acidification, freshwater eutrophication, human non-carcinogenic toxicity, human carcinogenic activity, and water consumption. The software SimaPro 9.3.0.3 was used for impact analysis, with background data from the database Ecoinvent 3.0. and ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint (H) V1.06/World (2010). Among other environmental impact categories, stocking and harvesting phases contributed to human carcinogenic toxicity impact values of 33.33%, followed by farming (33.31%). Another impact category, freshwater ecotoxicity also produces the same pattern with the stocking and harvesting process, still generating the highest impact value of 33.34%, followed by farming (33.30%). Apart from the identified capital items that require consideration for future waste management in aquaculture, this LCA study found that M. rosenbergii farming generates a low impact to the environment, however, could inspire further research on other perspectives of sustainability.

A DEIXIS ANALYSIS OF SONG LYRICS IN SAM SMITH’S “LOVE GOES” ALBUM
Authors: Lestari Syanti Dewi , Rustipa Katharina 
Published: November 2022

This study applies Yule's theory to evaluate the use of deixis in the lyrics of Sam Smith's song "Love Goes," which appears on his album "Love Goes." 'Deixis' is derived from the Greek word deiknymi, which literally translates as "to demonstrate" or "to point out." In this case, it is employed to draw attention to the elements of the speech that are pertinent to the current context. According to the research, the many types of deixis, their meanings, and why they are utilized in specific song lyrics are explained. The writer explores the numerous sorts of deixis that may be derived by listening to and reading song lyrics from Sam Smith's album "Love Goes," which is based on the descriptive qualitative technique. In the next section, the writer identifies and categorizes the deixis that can be found in song lyrics. The writer's next step is to conduct an analysis of the data, which is supported by Yule's theory at this point. The writer discovered deixis types such as person deixis, geographical deixis, and temporal deixis after examining all of the data from Sam Smith's song lyrics from the "Love Goes" album. All of the tracks on the "Love Goes" album feature 486 deixis per person, 41 deixes per spatial location, and 44 deixis per time. Each of the three forms of person deixis has its own classification: first-person, second-person, and third-person. The first person deixis is employed in order to identify the person who is speaking. This song uses the second person deixis to convey the addresser's identity, which in this case happens to be his girlfriend in the song. The third person deixis is supposed to show an undetermined referent; nevertheless, in this album, it alludes to the persons who are in the immediate vicinity of the singer and his love interest. Spatial deixis is used in every song to identify the location of a participant in a speech event to which the singer or speaker belongs, whereas temporal deixis is used to signify a specific time period that the singer or speaker has lived through or experienced.
