description: Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to improve the immersion and efficiency of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS) by allowing surgeons to maintain focus on the operating site rather than external displays in the operating theatre. Successful deployment of AR to CAOS requires a calibration that can accurately calculate the spatial relationship between real and holographic objects. Several studies attempt this calibration through manual alignment or with additional fiducial markers in the surgical scene. We propose a calibration system that offers a direct method for the calibration of AR head-mounted displays (HMDs) with CAOS systems, by using infrared-reflective marker-arrays widely used in CAOS. In our fast, user-agnostic setup, a HoloLens 2 detected the pose of marker arrays using infrared response and time-of-flight depth obtained through sensors onboard the HMD. Registration with a commercially available CAOS system was achieved when an IR marker-array was visible to both devices. Study tests found relative-tracking mean errors of 2.03 mm and 1.12° when calculating the relative pose between two static marker-arrays at short ranges. When using the calibration result to provide in-situ holographic guidance for a simulated wire-insertion task, a pre-clinical test reported mean errors of 2.07 mm and 1.54° when compared to a pre-planned trajectory.

description: The paper considers the problem of human-scale RF sensing utilizing a network of resource-constrained MIMO radars with low range-azimuth resolution. The radars operate in the mmWave band and obtain time-varying 3D point cloud (PC) information that is sensitive to body movements. They also observe the same scene from different views and cooperate while sensing the environment using a sidelink communication channel. Conventional cooperation setups allow the radars to mutually exchange raw PC information to improve ego sensing. The paper proposes a federation mechanism where the radars exchange the parameters of a Bayesian posterior measure of the observed PCs, rather than raw data. The radars act as distributed parameter servers to reconstruct a global posterior (i.e., federated posterior) using Bayesian tools. The paper quantifies and compares the benefits of radar federation with respect to cooperation mechanisms. Both approaches are validated by experiments with a real-time demonstration platform. Federation makes minimal use of the sidelink communication channel (20 ÷ 25 times lower bandwidth use) and is less sensitive to unresolved targets. On the other hand, cooperation reduces the mean absolute target estimation error of about 20%.

description: Background: Nigeria makes a substantial contribution to the global burden of stillbirths. However, data on women’s experiences and care received at the time of stillbirth are limited. This study aimed to investigate the experiences and patient-related and health system factors in women who had a stillbirth in a previous pregnancy in the past 15 years.
Methodology: This was a cross-sectional survey of 64 pregnant women, attending antenatal care in Port-Harcourt, who had stillbirth in a previous pregnancy. Consenting participants were interviewed using a predesigned and pretested questionnaire. Information on sociodemographic characteristics, pregnancy history including health-seeking behaviour in the stillbirth pregnancy, and women’s experiences and appraisal of care provided by healthcare workers during the stillbirth event, were collected. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and presented as numbers, Means and Percentages in tables.
Results: Most participants (92.2%) experienced one stillbirth. The majority (71.9%) had stillbirths at 9 months gestation. Almost all pregnancies (98.4%) were singleton, and most mothers (81.3%) reported attending antenatal care regularly. The majority of deliveries (89.1%) occurred in healthcare facilities. Post-stillbirth, 45.3% of the mothers stayed in an open postnatal ward, 56.3% saw their stillborn child, with 39.1% of them not seeing the baby at all, and only 4.69% saw and held their dead baby. Over half (56.3%) found healthcare workers supportive and satisfied with their role, but (45.3%) did not receive postnatal care or counselling. Concerning performing an autopsy, 60.9% would not have requested one.
Conclusion: Most stillbirths were term pregnancies, occurred intrapartum, and were in-facility deliveries. Delays in reporting complications and receiving care at the hospital contributed to the stillbirths. A good proportion of the women were not shown and did not hold their babies and were admitted to a standard postnatal ward following delivery, factors which are predictive of increased psychological morbidity. However, most women were satisfied with the care and support they received from healthcare workers during the delivery

description: The sustainable delivery of goods in urban outskirts presents challenges for city infrastructure planning and delivery companies, particularly in addressing the needs of people with disabilities. This paper examines these challenges in the SuCoLo pilot cities of Leipzig, Merano, and Salzburg, emphasizing inclusive and environmentally friendly logistics solutions. Key issues include the need for barrier-free web shops, suitable pick-up locations, and safe road conditions for cargo bikes. Specific local challenges are noted, such as poor road conditions in Leipzig, fragmented bike paths in Merano, and a lack of cargo bike couriers in Salzburg. The analysis highlights that overcoming both general and local challenges is crucial for effective sustainable logistics solutions in these regions.

Publisher: name: Nigerian Medical Journal
Year: 2025

description: Background: Previous research has shown that Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is accompanied by severe impairments in cognitive and autonomic processes, which may linger even when mood symptoms recover. This study aimed to analyse the relationship between depression severity, as measured by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), and how it affects heart rate variability (HRV) and cognitive function in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

 

Methodology: The cross-sectional study was conducted at RUHS College of Medical Sciences and Associated Hospitals, Jaipur, from July 2022 to January 2023 on 90 subjects having major depressive disorder (MDD) of either sex in the 20-40 age group using the Hamilton score for depression (HAM D), Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurements, and a battery of cognitive tests. Regression analyses were conducted to examine the associations between HAM-D scores with both HRV parameters and cognitive functions.

 

Results: Results indicated a significant negative correlation between HAM-D scores and HRV measures with p<0.001, suggesting that

increased depression severity is associated with reduced HRV. Additionally, higher HAM-D scores predicted poorer performance on cognitive tasks, particularly in the domains of executive function and working memory. The coefficient of determination r2=0.724 suggests that approximately 72.4% of the variance in the dependent variable (Hamilton rating score for depression) could be explained by the combined cognitive function and heart rate variability parameters.

 

Conclusion: These findings highlight the potential utility of, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive assessment and treatment approaches that address both the affective and cognitive aspects of depression.

description: Malignant colonic neuroendocrine tumours are rare. Even more uncommon is their occurrence in the left colon. They also infrequently occur in males and young adults. We describe a rare case of poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the descending colon in a 32-year-old male who presented with signs of intestinal obstruction. He later had exploratory laparotomy and tumour resection with 5 cm gross tumour margins and Hartman-type colostomy and completed six cycles of Etoposide and Carboplatin combination. He has been tumour- and symptom-free for 36 months. Even though rare, neuroendocrine tumours should be an important differential of all colonic tumours, irrespective of the patient's age and sex, and surgeons should have a high index of suspicion for them. Although they most commonly occur in the right colon (cecum), they can also be found in the descending colon, where they can present with intestinal obstruction. Tumour resection with 5 cm gross tumour margins and Hartman-type colostomy can be handy. Etoposide and Carboplatin combination can improve overall survival in complicated World Health Organization (WHO) stage 3 neuroendocrine carcinoma with regional lymph node involvement, and generally poor prognosis, but without evidence of distant metastasis, and relatively fair performance index. Younger patients with neuroendocrine carcinomas may benefit better from platinum-based chemotherapy.

description: Cholera remains a significant public health challenge in Nigeria, with recurrent outbreaks exacerbated by inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, as well as conflict and displacement. This review examines cholera outbreaks in Nigeria from 2010 to 2024, analyzing epidemiological trends, contributing factors, and public health responses. Seasonal peaks during periods of heavy rainfall and flooding have consistently facilitated Vibrio cholerae transmission, with Northern regions disproportionately affected due to poor infrastructure and ongoing conflicts. Displacement into overcrowded camps has heightened vulnerability, particularly in conflict-affected areas such as Borno and Adamawa. The outbreaks have exhibited multiple epidemic waves within single periods, reflecting persistent transmission dynamics. Recent outbreaks have seen higher incidence rates among children under the age of five and vulnerable populations, highlighting the need for targeted interventions. Public health responses have focused on improving surveillance, case management, and WASH infrastructure, with coordinated efforts from national and international agencies. Vaccination campaigns, particularly in high-risk areas, have proven effective in controlling outbreaks. However, challenges remain, including inadequate healthcare capacity, vaccine stockouts, and the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant Vibrio cholerae strains (serogroup O1) resistant to antibiotics such as tetracycline, doxycycline, ampicillin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, complicating treatment efforts. The COVID-19 pandemic further strained Nigeria’s healthcare system, underscoring the need for an integrated health system to be strengthened to manage concurrent public health crises. This review emphasizes the importance of a multi-sectoral approach to cholera prevention and control, addressing underlying social determinants and ensuring sustained investments in public health infrastructure to mitigate future outbreaks.

description: Objective: Parental functioning and well-being are important aspects of a family’s adaptation to chronic paediatric conditions. This study investigates the effects of diagnosis (cancer vs. diabetes/epilepsy) and time since diagnosis on parental quality of life (PQL). Methods: 122 parents (66 mothers, 56 fathers), whose children were diagnosed and treated for one chronic disease, filled in the Ulm Quality of Life Inventory for Parents twice within the first three months after the initial diagnosis. The effects of diagnosis and time (1 - 2 weeks and 2 - 3 months after diagnosis) on PQL were analysed separately for mothers and fathers. Results: Parents of a child with cancer consistently reported lower PQL compared with parents of a child with diabetes/epilepsy. Only the fathers’ well-being increased significantly within the first three months after the child was diagnosed for a chronic disease. However, in most of the PQL domains there was a persistent impairment within the time-frame of this study. Parents of children with a chronic disease were more satisfied with their family situation than healthy controls. Age of the child was positively correlated with PQL. Conclusions: A diagnosis of cancer, especially in young children, has a strong negative effect on PQL. Measuring PQL in a preventive approach would help to identify vulnerable parents and to provide psychosocial support in time.

description: Objective: Patient satisfaction with in-patient treatment and other aspects of process quality is usually examined cross-sectionally (e.g. at discharge). Therefore, the knowledge about change of patient satisfaction and related issues such as participation and motivation during the treatment period is limited. This study describes the development of a questionnaire concerning these topics and the course and variability in these domains for different subgroups. Method: The study group comprises 88 adolescents (48 female, 40 male; age between 13 and 18 years) who delivered altogether 1003 data points (median per person is 8). The questionnaire consisted of 16 items that were administered by computer twice a week at adolescent wards in two psychiatric departments. Statistical analysis was done using hierarchical linear modeling (growth curve models) that is well suited for the analysis of data with different number of assessment points and missing data. Results: Psychometric properties of the questions were good. The trajectories in all items are very heterogeneous regarding the level. The trends (slope of the growth curves) are around 0 in general satisfaction, i.e. the adolescents stay on their different levels during the treatment period. Concerning participation, however, there are diverging trends, in particular between the two departments which may reflect the difference in treatment experience of the teams, whereas age, gender and diagnosis (internalizing vs. externalizing) play a minor role. Conclusion: Evaluation of process characteristics has turned out to be feasible in clinical routine and promising for further insights into process quality.

description: Background: Benign laryngeal lesions, characterized by non-cancerous growths in the larynx, significantly impact voice quality and respiratory function. These lesions, which include vocal cord polyps, nodules, papillomas, and cysts, often result from factors such as vocal abuse, viral infections, and chronic inflammation. While studies on benign laryngeal lesions are well-documented globally, data specific to Northern Nigeria remains sparse. This study aims to analyze the demographics, clinical features, treatment modalities, and outcomes of benign laryngeal lesions over a decade in a tertiary otolaryngology center in Northern Nigeria.

Methodology: A retrospective review of 176 cases of benign laryngeal lesions was conducted over 10-years (2011-2020). Data were collected on patient demographics, clinical presentation, risk factors, lesion characteristics, and treatment outcomes. All patients underwent flexible laryngoscopy, with a subset receiving CT scans and histopathological examination. The study excluded malignant lesions.

Results: The study population comprised 123 males (69.9%) and 53 females (30.1%), with a male-to-female ratio of 2.3:1. The age range of patients was from 1.5 to 69 years, with a mean age of 34.74 years (±16.64). The most common presenting symptom was hoarseness (94.8%), and most lesions were vocal cord polyps (52.3%), followed by vocal cord nodules (34.7%) and juvenile-onset respiratory papilloma (6.8%). The glottic region was the most frequent site of lesion occurrence (94.9%). Treatment primarily involved voice rest (43.2%), direct laryngoscopy with excision (22.2%), and microlaryngeal surgery (8.0%). Treatment outcomes showed a cure rate of 40.9%, with a recurrence rate of 29.0%.

Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the demographic and clinical profiles of patients with benign laryngeal lesions in Northern Nigeria. The findings indicate a predominance of vocal cord polyps, significant gender disparity, and the effectiveness of surgical interventions. These results align with regional and international data but highlight the need for more localized studies to better understand the epidemiology and management of these lesions in Northern Nigeria. Further research should explore specific risk factors and the long-term outcomes of different treatment modalities.

description: Some of the Last Generation’s actions can be understood as a protest, namely those performed at the Grundgesetz 49 memorial in Berlin’s government district as part of the Last Generation’s repertoire of civil resistance. As a semiotic process, which is carried out by means of resemiotisation, the choice of location can also be identified as contributive to the protest’s meaning. The action has a highly symbolic character, as is typical of civil disobedience. However, a purely semiotic interpretation ignores the performance character that the Place-Making group maintains in all of its protest actions. For this reason, this article argues in favor of expanding the methods of discourse linguistics, urban linguistics and linguistic protest research to include performance analysis.
