Peripheral nerve block with phenol in the management of spasticity. Indications and complications

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

After accurate isolation, 126 peripheral nerves were blocked with 2% or 3% phenol solutions in distilled water in 68 patients with severe spasticity of various causes. Seven nerve blocks were repeated. The period of effectiveness ranged from 2 to 743 days, with an average of 308 days. Paresthesia occurred following ten nerve blocks. Gain and loss of voluntary movement following the blocks were observed. Ease, simplicity, safety, therapeutic benefits, and economic advantages of peripheral nerve block with phenol warrant its more widespread use.

Performance Analysis of RIS-Aided NOMA-Based CDRT Systems With Multiple Decode-and- Forward Relays Over Nakagami-m Fading Channels

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a novel wireless communication framework that integrates reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) and multiple decode-and-forward relays into a coordinated direct and relay transmission (CDRT) architecture based on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). The system operates over Nakagami-m fading channels and employs discrete RIS phase-shift alignment, coupled with imperfect successive interference cancellation. The proposed architecture extends conventional CDRT systems by incorporating an RIS and a distributed network of decode-and-forward relays to enhance signal transmission between a source node and two user terminals-near and far users. Accordingly, closed-form expressions of key performance metrics, involving outage probability and ergodic capacity for the long information paradigm, and average block error rate (ABLER) for the short-packet communication paradigm, are derived to evaluate the system performance. Theoretical analyses are corroborated by Monte Carlo simulations, which highlight substantial performance gains with an increased number of RIS elements, particularly in discrete phase-shift configurations. Additionally, the deployment of multiple relays proves beneficial in scenarios with phase shift uncertainties. This advanced system provides a more resilient and efficient communication paradigm, addressing improving the CDRT systems’ performance.
Consequence of Continued Growth in the GEO and GEO Disposal Orbital Regimes

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

To date more than 800 spacecraft, upper stages, and apogee kick motors are known to reside in geosynchronous and nearby orbits, including geosynchronous disposal orbits. An even larger number of debris greater than 10 em in diameter have been detected by U.S. and European groundbased sensors. Using projections of geosynchronous deployment characteristics and disposal rates, NASA and Kyushu University models of the geosynchronous and super-geosynchronous orbital regimes have examined the sensitivity of the long-term satellite population to various scenarios. Emphasis has been placed on the rate of collisions in the geosynchronous orbit and in the higher disposal orbits and on the significance of cross-regime contamination. The sensitivity of the long-term environment on low velocity (0-1 km/s) collision breakup model parameters and on the minimum height of disposal orbits has also been explored. Results are presented in terms of both satellite population and spatial density.
Meticillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonisation and infection in Thoroughbred racehorses and veterinarians in Japan

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Meticillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections have been confirmed in hospitalised Thoroughbred racehorses at the hospitals of two training centres in Japan since 2009. To investigate the source of infection, the authors examined the rate of nasal MRSA colonisation in 600 healthy Thoroughbred racehorses, 53 veterinarians and 16 office staff at the racehorse hospitals of the two training centres. MRSA was not isolated from healthy Thoroughbred racehorses or hospital office staff. However, MRSA was isolated from 16 veterinarians (30.1 per cent), and the colonisation rate was significantly higher in veterinarians than in the office staff of the same hospitals. Also, 10 of the 16 MRSA strains (62.5 per cent) isolated from veterinarians were classified as type II by staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC mec ) typing and ST5 by multilocus sequence typing. Pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis analysis demonstrated that these 10 MRSA strains of SCC mec type II and ST5 were genetically identical or very similar to 9 MRSA strains isolated from infected horses hospitalised at these hospitals between 2009 and 2013. These results indicate that SCC mec type II and ST5 MRSA strains were probably transmitted between veterinarians and infected horses.
Removal of Unwanted Object in 3D CT Kidney Stone Images and 3D Visualization

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

For the study of anatomical structure and image processing of CT images, noise removal techniques have become a vital role in a medical imaging application. In this paper, an automatic unwanted object removing for kidney stone detection is proposed together with 3D visualization. For the removal of surrounding unwanted objects, there are three steps in this proposed scheme. The first step is hypodense and isodense region removing using intensity-based thresholding. In the second step, size-based thresholding is used to remove the bones of the abdomen. In the third step, geometric feature-based thresholding is developed for false-positive reducing. The proposed scheme can effectively provide the structural information of the kidney stone CT image when removing surrounding unwanted objects. It gives the performance with 95.7% in sensitivity. To represent better visual results, simulation experiment results are shown using 3D visualization.
Elimination of Cu (II) Cations from Water Media Using Clean Adsorbent as Application of Green Chemistry:Acacia Tortilis Seeds

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Acacia tortilis seeds were treated with natural lemon juice and used as clean adsorbent for removal of Cu (II) cations from water environment. Adsorption experiments were preformed by studying some parameters include initial pH, contact temperature, contact time and initial Cu (II) concentration, on adsorption of Cu (II) cations onto Acacia tortilis seeds. The optimum conditions were obtained 3, 50 o C, 90 minutes, 600 mg/l as initial pH, contact temperature, contact time and initial Cu (II) concentration, respectively. Adsorption kinetic models include Lagergren first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion were applied inorder to investigate the adsorption mechanism. Two different isotherm models includ Langmuir and Freundlich were used to investigate the adsorption process. Thermodynamic parameters, such as Δ Go, Δ Ho and Δ So, were calculated.
Isomery of states in the strictly restricted dynamics model

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Employing the general principles of classification of SU3 states, we have found 285 quantum number isomers (QNI), i.e. nuclei for which there are two possible SU3 quantum number sets, characterized by the maximal eigenvalue of the SU3 group Casimir operator, at the minimal value N-0(min) for the quantum number N-0 of the group U3(A-1) symmetric representation, allowed by the Pauli principle. 41 of these QNI can be attributed to the nun-excited, ground SU3 configurations of realistic nuclei. Two examples of QNI: Si-28 and Zn-60, have been studied in detail in the framework of the strictly restricted dynamics model (SRDM).
Revisiting Al-Faruqi’s Islamization of Knowledge: A Hermeneutic and Decolonial Analysis for Contemporary Epistemic Reform

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study critically examines Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi's (1921-1986) Islamization of Knowledge (IOK) project, focusing on its philosophical consistency, real-world application, and connection to global decolonial ideas. Through a tripartite methodological approach combining critical hermeneutics, comparative epistemology, and empirical case studies, we assess the enduring contributions and limitations of Al-Faruqi's framework. Our textual analysis reveals that while the Tawhidic (Divine Unity) paradigm effectively challenges Western epistemological fragmentation, its potential for epistemic essentialism requires mitigation through greater contextual flexibility. Comparative examination demonstrates that IOK's five-step methodology, though theoretically robust for traditional disciplines, demands significant adaptation for contemporary challenges in STEM fields and digital humanities. Empirical investigations at institutions implementing IOK principles (including IIIT and IIUM) further identify a critical gap in addressing intra-Muslim power asymmetries, particularly regarding gender and cultural diversity in knowledge production. Building on these findings, the study proposes an enhanced "decolonial-Islamic" framework that: (1) maintains Al-Faruqi's core metaphysical foundations while incorporating pluralistic epistemological approaches; (2) develops discipline-specific adaptation protocols for emerging academic fields; and (3) integrates institutional assessment tools to evaluate Islamization outcomes. These contributions advance three key academic discourses: Islamic epistemology's engagement with decolonial theory, practical models for educational reform in Muslim-majority societies, and interdisciplinary approaches to knowledge decolonization. The paper concludes with policy recommendations for implementing this refined framework in contemporary Islamic higher education contexts.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is tumor-cell targeted radiotherapy that has significant superiority over conventional radiotherapies. The most neutron beams used for BNCT are from the reactors with high power, new design Miniature Neutron Source Reactor(MNSR) with 45kW with BNCT beam for Suranaree University of Technology(SUT) is being designed and built. According to SUT-MNSR physics design, SUT-MNSR will have the epithermal neutron beam for BNCT treatment. The dose rate distribution in the body should be estimated before SUT-MNSR is used for BNCT clinical trials (Brain tumor). This paper introduces the simulation for SUT-MNSR neutron beam by Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code (MCNP), and the establishment of human brain model and physics dose rate distribution in brain tumor by MCNP program.The brain model is established according to the different element in the skin, skull and tissue, the distribution of neutron dose and Gamma dose in the brain model were calculated.
Can recurrent reflux disease after fundoplication be circumvented by adding a vagotomy?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GORD) is caused by a weak lower esophageal sphincter. Open Nissen fundoplication has been the most common surgical treatment of GORD and hiatus hernia. This paper describes the symptomatic result and quantifies the endoscopic improvement achieved by open Nissen fundoplication alone and when combined with truncal vagotomy in a series of 21 cases and studies whether the added vagotomy confers any additional benefits. From the results, it was concluded that, compared with fundoplication alone, an additional vagotomy does seem to prevent recurrent reflux disease. Therefore, in the absence of any contraindication, it is strongly recommended to combine a vagotomy(and if necessary a drainage procedure) with a Nissen fundoplication for the surgical treatment of GORD and hiatus hernia.

The concept of a historic landscape analysis using GIS with focus on Central Europe

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Against the background of accelerated changes of landscapes and the threatening danger of losses in the quality of landscapes, a number of scientific disciplines dealing with applied and diachronic landscape analysis have emerged in the last 20 years. This chapter aims to further them by developing an interdisciplinary concept of a Historic Landscape Analysis (HLA) based on a landscape information system (LIS), which can be applied in most parts of Europe. The information system is adapted, on the one hand, from a physiological modelling of landscapes that derives from the patch-matrix-concept developed by the North American landscape ecology. On the other hand, it has roots in the cadastres and topographic maps that were generated in many European countries since the 18th century. In addition, this chapter discusses how to model, set up and apply the landscape information system and, in particular, how to integrate historical data. Methods for analysing and evaluating the structures of, and changes in landscapes as well as for simulating and managing the future development of "traditional" or "historic" landscapes are discussed in another chapter within this book.

Effect of polyherbal products on rumen enzymatic profile in non-descript goats of Chhattisgarh

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

An experiment was designed to investigate the efficacy of polyherbal formulations on rumen enzymatic profile of goats. A 90 day study was conducted on 24 non-descript goats allocated into four groups. They were fed ad libitum basal complete feed constituted rice straw: rhea (60:40) grass hay and concentrate mixture (@ 250/animal/day). The groups were control (T0) - basal diet without polyherbal supplementation, treatment 1 (T1) - diet with Ruchamax @ 10g/day/animal, treatment 2 (T2) – diet with AV/DAC/16 @ 10g/day/animal and treatment 3 (T3) -diet with AV/RMF/17 @ 10g/day/animal. The concentration and activity of carboxymethyl cellulase and protease were significantly (P<0.01) higher in AV/RMF/17 followed by Ruchamax fed goats. The study indicated efficient fermentation of rumen protein substrates due to high tone up of rumen microorganisms by the polyherbal products. It might be due to more synthesis of microbial protein that is reflected in higher gain in body weight of animals of these groups.
Bioenergetic Origins of Complexity and Disease

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

It was assumed that if we sequenced the human genome, defined all of the common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their haplotype associations, and performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) between the SNPs and the various “complex” diseases, we would identify the responsible genes, understand the causes, and find the cures. However, after enormous effort, we have yet to explain more than 20% of common disease risk. Thomas Kuhn, in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (Kuhn 1996), argued that when a scientific endeavor invests increasing effort in a problem with diminishing returns, the difficulty may lie with the core assumptions (paradigms) on which the work was based. Assuming that this argument is valid in the current circumstance, what are the basic assumptions upon which Westernbiomedicalscienceandtheseeffortswerebased?

"I Am I": Genji and Murasaki

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

HERE I was, she thought, completely miserable, and he, simple pastime or not, was sharing his heart with another! Well, I am I!''1 So Murasaki no Ue , ? silently assures herself in the Miotsukushi Xf (Channel Buoys) chapter of The Tale of Genji, when injured by Genji's talk of the Akashi H)J 5 Lady. She is Genji' s wife, and the Akashi Lady has just given Genji a daughter conceived during his exile. Murasaki's words (ware wa ware ? XI?, I'm me!) are the seed of this essay. They sharply affirm the distinctness of her own existence. Murasaki's protest is a surprise, even unvoiced. She is Genji's private discovery and his personal treasure. Her fate in life depends so entirely on him that she might be a sort of shadow to him, without a will of her own, and yet at this critical moment, and two later ones like it, she resists him. This essay is about the pattern of give and take between her and Genji at these moments, and its consequences. The essay will dwell at greater length on Murasaki than on Genji because readers in recent decades have not agreed on her nature or her significance. I will therefore establish her position in the work as I read it, encouraged by Akiyama Ken's fA LUT remark that studying her, more than any other character, gives access to the essence of the tale.2 However, my purpose will always be to follow how she and Genji affect one another and to suggest the significance of their relationship in the two-thirds of the work that cover their lives. This is therefore a reading of the lives of Genji and Murasaki as a couple.3
The Development of Metallurgy in Southeast Asia: Reply to Bayard, Pisit, and Solheim

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

When asking the Editor's approval for responding to the replies to my article it was only with the intention to rectify possible misunderstandings; little did I imagine what unpleasant an exercise this would have to be. For, the first impression I derived from reading these replies was that their impetuosity appears to be out of proportion with the relative mildness of my remarks, which are seen as “a most curious attack” by Bayard & Pisit and as “criticisms” by Solheim. In actual fact they were meant to be neither; but merely an exhortation to ask some questions, albeit maybe slightly embarrassing ones. Contrary to what my three colleagues seem to think, I have no axe to grind and no alternative model to propose, be it my own or that evolved by somebody else; this, I thought, was clearly apparent from my text.
