Abstract:

Cutaneous horn is a conical, dense, and hyperkeratotic protrusion that often appears similar to the horn of an animal. Giant cutaneous horns are rare; no incidence or prevalence has been reported. The significance of cutaneous horns is that they occur in association with, or as a response to, a wide variety of underlying benign, premalignant, and malignant cutaneous diseases. A case of giant cutaneous horn of left oral commissure along with carcinoma left buccal mucosa is reported here as an extremely rare oral/perioral pathology.

Abstract:

Background. A cutaneous horn is a common clinical entity which usually presents as a cutaneous lesion. Because of its subtle nature, patients usually tend to present late unless the lesion is big or complications develop. Because of its resemblance to animal horn, it has been given the term “horn.” Cutaneous horn seems to have a remarkable history. Though cutaneous horn is benign most of the times, chances of malignancy (20–25%) should be kept in mind. Old age, giant cutaneous horn carries more chances of transformation into malignancy like in our case. Thus, early diagnosis and treatment is required in all cases. Case Presentation. We report a case of a 74-year-old farmer with a cutaneous projection measuring ∼8 × 5 × 3 cm3 over the medial surface of the right pinna for 1 year. It started as a small projection which was progressively enlarging. The primary reason behind him presenting to us was cosmetic reason since it resembled an animal horn. The projection was not associated with pain or similar lesions anywhere else in body. Understanding the malignancy risks and the cosmetic benefits, he was planned for excision biopsy of the horn. He had no systemic signs of malignancy. Histopathological reports were consistent with malignancy. Conclusions. Cutaneous horns are usually benign lesions and mostly found in the head and neck region. Because of the chances of malignancy, cutaneous horns should undergo surgical removal and biopsy for early and definitive diagnosis and management.

Abstract:

The composite materials Si/AlC, crystal quartz, and ceramic glass are becoming an important part of the present society in many engineering and non-engineering fields. Conventional methods available for machining these materials have many flaws due to which their application on large scale is restricted. A non-conventional process known as ultrasonic machining (USM), can be implemented for machining of these materials effectively. Anyhow machining efficiency of USM greatly depends upon its horn design and therefore in the present study a horn based on a catenoidal profile with aluminum and titanium material for USM was designed and developed by using solid works and ANSYS. Modal and harmonic analysis was done on the horn for computation of various parameters of interest such as resonant frequency, amplitude vibration and equivalent stresses. After the computation of the results, they were analyzed and compared with those available in the literature in terms of stresses and magnification factor for their validation comparison with literature, it was found that an aluminum catenoidal horn shows higher magnification with the least stress magnitude as compared to horns avail-able in the literature and hence can be used in USM as a replacement for existing horns.

Abstract:

Известно, что наследование рогов и комолости у крупного рогатого скота контролируется четырьмя независимыми локусами. При этом ген комолости (P) полностью эпистатичен по отношению к гену, контролирующему развитие рогов (H), в свою очередь ген H является эпистатическим по отношению к гену scurs (Sc), контролирующему проявление рудиментарных рогов. Четвертым геном, определяющим фенотип животного, считается ген африканских рогов (На). Ряд исследователей уверены, что его экспрессия зависит от пола животного и во многом аналогична наследованию локуса scurs. Понимание процесса наследования признака комолости, рогов и их рудиментов является первым шагом в разработке успешных программ разведения и селекции комолого скота. В литературе можно встретить противоречивую информацию по картированию и экспрессии гена scurs, как и о влиянии на него пола, а также генотипа по локусу polled и его гетерогенности. В статье представлен материал по наследованию признаков рогатости, комолости и роговых рудиментов с указанием картирования этих генов. На основе проведенного обзора следует, что отбор, основанный только на фенотипической информации о комолости, ведет к повышению частоты проявления этого гена в популяции; быки-производители играют более значимую роль в распространении комолых аллелей в стаде по сравнению с коровами; рудиментарные рога появляются только у гетерозиготного комолого скота; ген рудиментарных рогов сцеплен с полом: он доминантен у быков-производителей и рецессивен у коров; отбор животных с остроконечным затылком снижает процент потомства с рудиментарными рогами. Four independent loci are known to control the inheritance of horns and hornlessness in cattle. In this case, the polled gene (P) is completely epistatic to the horn development gene (H), and the H gene is epistatic to the scurs gene (Sc), which controls the manifestation of rudimentary horns. The fourth gene that determines the phenotype of an animal is considered to be the African horn gene (Ha). Some researchers believe that its expression depends on the animal’s sex and in many ways is similar to the inheritance of the scurs locus. Understanding the process of inheritance of the polled trait, horns and their rudiments, is the first step in developing successful breeding and selection programs for polled cattle. Controversial information can be found in the literature regarding the mapping and expression of the scurs gene, as well as the influence of sex on it, and the genotype at the polled locus and its heterogeneity. The article presents material on the inheritance of the traits of horniness, hornlessness and horny rudiments with an indication of the mapping of these genes. Based on this review, it can be stated that selection based only on phenotypic information on hornlessness leads to an increase in this gene frequency in the population; sires play a more significant role in the distribution of polled alleles in the herd compared to cows; rudimentary horns appear only in heterozygous polled cattle; the gene for rudimentary horns is sex-linked: It is dominant in bulls and recessive in cows; selection of animals with a pointed nape reduces the percentage of progeny with rudimentary horns.

Abstract:

Abstract OBJECTIVE Accounts of bony human horns originating from the cranium are found peppered throughout the early medical literature. This study reviews the extant literature regarding these entities to elucidate their authenticity. METHODS We reviewed both historical and current literature as well as osteological material from our anatomy laboratories for accounts or observations of bony outgrowths of the calvaria in humans. RESULTS Human horns seem to be mentioned more frequently in the historical literature and are documented primarily with drawings. Moreover, from early accounts, it is often difficult to distinguish true large bony outgrowths from scalp excrescences. Only two cadaveric specimens from our laboratory were noted to have small anomalous bony protuberances, one on the occiput and one on the frontal bone. CONCLUSION With the lack of either photographic or extreme dry specimen evidence of such human horns, we would propose that benign calvarial tumors, such as osteomas, may have initiated speculation that such entities, i.e., horns, exist in humans but that scalp lesions, exaggeration, legend, and religious beliefs have historically propagated these entities to a mythical status. In addition, early surgical intervention and changes in nomenclature may have also decreased the frequency of such sightings. Finally, many early descriptions have not been repeated in recent history, even in third-world countries lacking advanced medical care.

Abstract:

In this paper, a finite element analysis (FEA) has been used for the design of horn with different Bezier profiles for rotary ultrasonic machine (RUM). First, for validation, the results are compared with available literature. FEA-based MATLAB code is developed for finding the stress components, axial amplitude, and resonance frequency over the domain of horn with different Bezier profiles. In domain of horn with different Bezier profiles, the component of stresses is studied and found that the stress generated is within the endurance strength of the selected material. The amplification of the proposed horns is 24%, and 18% higher than the traditional linear Bezier horn with same length and diameters of surface end. For RUM, effect of inertia (self-weight or gravity of horn) on domain has been studied for horn with different Bezier profiles using FEA. The effect of tool shape and size on the stress distribution for horn have also been studied.

Abstract:

Objectives: Aim of this article is to present and discuss a patient with separation of anterior intermeniscal ligament which was repaired arthroscopically. Methods: Anterior intermeniscal ligament (AIML) (transverse geniculate ligament or anterior transvers ligament) is an intraarticular structure connecting anterior convex edge of lateral meniscle to anterior tip of medial meniscle; limits anterior movement of menisci during extension and prevents pressure application of condylar surfaces onto menisci; and also limits anterior-posterior separation of anterior horn of medial meniscus during low degrees of flexion. AIML was found in 69 to 94 percent in different studies. Results: A thirty-eight year-old female patient referred our clinic with complaints of pain in right knee for a year that responds to pain killers, increasing with climbing stairs and decreasing with rest. Synovium origined mass was seen on MRI with contrast applied after an intraarticular mass seen on MRI. She undervent surgery and the mass in the medial of joint space considered as pigmented villonodular sinovitis was resected arthroscopically. During arthroscopy, separation of anterior marge of AIML and elevation of anterior horns of both medial and lateral were noticed. Using no 1 PDS suture AIML was pulled downwards from anterior marge and fixed. After fixation AIML and anterior horns of menisci replaced on tibial plateu again. Conclusion: As injuries of AIML which has an important role at stabilization of menisci during knee motions are seen very rarely, freuquency of AIML was reported 9.75 percent in a cadaver study and 75 percent of them was accompanied by medial meniscal tear. We could not find any other clinical study reporting AIML injury in the literature. As we apply arthroscopical intervention in order to resect intraarticular mass considered as pigmented villonodular synovitis, anterior separation of AIML and elevation of anterior horn of both menisci were noticed coincidentally and then were repaired. As the arthroscopical evaluation due to injuries of intraarticular structures is performed, AIML should also be evaluated, if necessary, repair should be performed in order to obtain stabilization of anterior horns of menisci.

Abstract:

Entrapment of the temporal horn is a rare form of isolated hydrocephalus. Standard treatment has not yet been established for this condition, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. The authors reviewed their prospectively maintained database to report their experience with endoscopic temporal ventriculocisternostomy. All endoscopic operations performed in the Department of Neurosurgery at Ernst Moritz Arndt University between March 1993 and August 2012 were reviewed, and a retrospective chart review of all patients with temporal ventriculocisternostomy was performed. Four patients were identified (3 children and 1 adult). In 3 patients, the condition developed after tumor resection, and in 1 patient it developed due to postmeningitic multiloculated hydrocephalus. In 2 patients, a recurrent trapped temporal horn developed. Refenestration was successful in one of these patients, and dilation in the trigone area with a subsequent stomy of the septum pellucidum was successful in the other. In 1 patient, postoperative meningitis developed, which was treated with antibiotics. Endoscopic temporal ventriculocisternostomy is an option in the treatment of trapped temporal horns. However, more experience is required to recommend it as the treatment of choice.

Abstract:

A five-and-a-half-year-old Holstein-Friesian crossbred cow was repeatedly treated for termination of overgestation, but without any success. On laparotomy, the site indicating fetal-like ballottement on transrectal palpation was occupied by three to four separate caseous and lobulated masses with adhered uterine horns in the omentum. Separation of the utero-omental adhesions retrieved normal-sized uterine horns into pelvic cavity. The right ovary was cystic. Ultrasonography detected another growth in the ventral abdominal musculature. Histopathologically, the omental growths suggested a pleomorphic type of liposarcoma. Presence of omental and muscular liposarcoma along with deep uterine-omental adhesions and a cystic ovary makes this paper a unique addition to the literature.

Abstract:

The Boercang goat is a crossbred between male Boer goat and local female goat. This study was aimed to analyze the production and physical performances of Boercang goats during the weaning up to the age of one year. Thirty nine males and 37 females goats aged 3 - 12 months were used in the study. Body weight, daily weight gain, coat colour pattern, horn, ears, nose shape and birth type were recorded during study. The data obtained were calculated for the means, standard deviation (SD), and coefficient of variation (CV) and the analysis was descriptive. Student t test was performed to compare differences between groups of age and between group of sex. Field observations showed that the qualitative characteristics of Boercang such as body colour, horns, ears, and nose shape were 50 % identical with the characteristics of male Boer. The average body weight of the male Boercang goats was 23.02±1.56 kg whereas the female Boercang goats was 21.86±1.63 kg. Body weight gain was affected by age and birth type. The conclusion is that the genetic superiority of the qualitative characteristics of the Boer goats is still expressed in the offspring although it varies; for the characteristics of horns, colour patterns and ears still contribute more than 50%. The appearance of superior quantitative traits from the male Boer goat during the period of weaning up to one year of age both based on the birth type and offspring sex tends to be higher than the appearance of local goat.

Abstract:

In the 1910s in the Georgian literary area the first Symbolist group TsisperiQantsebi (The Blue Horns) comes into being, with a clearly defined purpose and aesthetic position, which implied renewing the Georgian literature and including it into the Western context. Desiring to expand the thought area and to modernize Georgian literature, Georgian Symbolists rested on the philosophical and worldview principles of French Symbolism. Georgian Symbolism appears as an original invariant generated from the French Symbolist aesthetics, which is unequivocally national.

Abstract:

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder presenting as lower limb spasticity having two clinical types and various modes of inheritance. A young male patient presented with bilateral lower limb weakness of one-year duration showing both sensory and motor abnormalities on examination. MRI of brain and spine done as part of workup revealed marked atrophy of anterior corpus callosum with abnormal signal intensity at tips of frontal horns of ventricles mimicking the appearance of the ear of a Eurasian lynx. No other abnormality was encountered in the brain or spinal cord in our case. Other imaging abnormalities which can be encountered in such a case include periventricular and central white matter changes as well as spinal cord atrophy. Pathologically this condition is recognised by degeneration of lateral and posterior columns of the spinal cord. The differential diagnosis includes structural, metabolic, neurodegenerative, motor and nutritional deficiency disorders.

Abstract:

Peripheral nerve injuries induce a pronounced immune reaction within the spinal cord, largely governed by microglia activation in both the dorsal and ventral horns. The mechanisms of activation and response of microglia are diverse depending on the location within the spinal cord, type, severity, and proximity of injury, as well as the age and species of the organism. Thanks to recent advancements in neuro-immune research techniques, such as single-cell transcriptomics, novel genetic mouse models, and live imaging, a vast amount of literature has come to light regarding the mechanisms of microglial activation and alluding to the function of microgliosis around injured motoneurons and sensory afferents. Herein, we provide a comparative analysis of the dorsal and ventral horns in relation to mechanisms of microglia activation (CSF1, DAP12, CCR2, Fractalkine signaling, Toll-like receptors, and purinergic signaling), and functionality in neuroprotection, degeneration, regeneration, synaptic plasticity, and spinal circuit reorganization following peripheral nerve injury. This review aims to shed new light on unsettled controversies regarding the diversity of spinal microglial-neuronal interactions following injury.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article deals with the enigmatic prediction and explanation in Dan 7:8, 20 and 24 concerning the three out of ten horns of the fourth beast that were "uprooted" in front of the eleventh, little horn widely identified with Antiochus IV. Analysing the verses from a historical point of view like the text's first exegete Porphyry in the late third c. C.E. and modifying his thesis as it has been proposed by E. Bickermann the author presents and discusses the evidence for the rule of a Ptolemaic triad at the time of Antiochus' IV reign, still questioned by some scholars, which should be seen as the model for Daniel's visionary report. This identification set on firmer ground allows to critically question the wide range of other interpretations and to confirm the strong parallel in processing certain historical facts in Dan 7 and 11 in yet another special aspect. The relationship between Seleucids and Ptolemies in its final stage witnessed by the author of Daniel, the 6th Syrian War, characterizes Antiochus' total victory over the hated enemy "of the South" as the climax of the Seleucid's foreign success—and glory.

Colpocephaly is a form of congenital ventriculomegaly characterized by enlarged occipital horns of the lateral ventricles with associated neurologic abnormalities. The diagnosis of colpocephaly is typically made in infancy. Its diagnosis in adulthood without associated clinical symptoms is exceptionally rare. We report a case of colpocephaly diagnosed incidentally in an adult without neurologic abnormalities in the emergency department. To our knowledge, this is only the ninth reported case in an asymptomatic adult and the first to be described in the emergency medicine literature.

Abstract:

A biography of Franz Doleisch, a Prague maker of woodwind instruments, summarises the facts so far known about his life. Basset horns account for more than half of the instruments he made. Preserved specimens from Czech and foreign collections are described with respect to their characteristic morphological features, bore diameter, the number and design of the keys, and the trademark. Although the evaluation of findings with respect to the quality of workmanship shows that he was one of the leading Czech instrument makers of his day, current musical organology literature has not yet reflected this fact. The goal of the present study is to present the first phase of research on instruments made by Doleisch, with the intention of drawing attention to one of the elite European instrument makers of the latter half of the 18th century.

Abstract:

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) is a congenital anomaly of the genital tract that occurs in about 1 in 4000 women. MRKH syndrome can be associated with renal, skeletal, heart and hearing abnormalities. The frequency of renal/urinary tract abnormalities is 33%. Only a few cases of fibroid development in MRKH syndrome have been described in the literature. The diagnosis and surgery of a fibroid in MRKH syndrome may be complicated in associated kidney abnormality by an atypical kidney position, as in this case: pelvic kidney on one side and renal agenesia on the contralateral side. Authors present the case of a 47-year-old female patient with a known MRKH syndrome and a pelvic kidney on the right side who had presented with an unclear tumour in the right lower abdomen. A completed CT scan revealed the tumour directly next to the pelvic kidney. A malignancy could not be excluded with certainty, so that a laparoscopy in laparotomy readiness was indicated and performed. During surgery, two rudimentary uterine horns were found; on the right side retroperitoneally, below the uterine horn, the tumour was located and directly below it there was a soft tissue alteration, probably the kidney. For safety, a vaginal sonography was performed in between, to clearly identify the only kidney and to avoid damaging it. The tumour could be extirpated laparoscopically without kidney injury. The two uterine horns were removed simultaneously. Histologically the fibroid could be confirmed. In addition, three other fibroids (one on the left side and two on the right side) were detected. Due to the high probability of a simultaneous kidney abnormality in the MRKH syndrome, authors suggest an accurate kidney diagnosis preoperatively. If necessary, in the case of a pelvic kidney and/or renal agenesia, as in this case, an additional intraoperative kidney check should be performed.

Abstract:

The horns, ossicones and antlers of ruminants are familiar and diverse examples of cranial appendages. We collectively term ruminant cranial appendages ‘headgear’; this includes four extant forms: antlers (in cervids), horns (in bovids), pronghorns (in pronghorn antelope) and ossicones (in giraffids). Headgear evolution remains an open and intriguing question because phylogenies (molecular and morphological), adult headgear structure and headgear development (where data are available) all suggest different pictures of ruminant evolution. We discuss what is known about the evolution of headgear, including the evidence motivating previous hypotheses of single versus multiple origins, and the implications of recent phylogenetic revisions for these hypotheses. Inclusion of developmental data is critical for progress on the question of headgear evolution, and we synthesize the scattered literature on this front. The areas most in need of attention are early development in general; pronghorn and ossicone development in particular; and histological study of fossil forms of headgear. An integrative study of headgear development and evolution may have ramifications beyond the fields of systematics and evolution. Researchers in organismal biology, as well as those in biomedical fields investigating skin, bone and regenerative medicine, may all benefit from insights produced by this line of research.

Abstract:

The optimization of the size of wind farms is little studied in the literature. The objective of this study is to renew the existing wind farms by inserting new wind turbines with different characteristics. To evaluate our approach, a genetic algorithm was chosen to optimize our objective function, which aims to maximize the power of the wind farm studied at a reasonable cost, the Jensen wake model was chosen for the power calculation of the park. The results obtained from the simulation on the Horns-rev wind farm showed a significant increase in energy and a relatively reasonable cost of energy.

Abstract:

Polemics about criteria for nontrivial principal components are still present in the literature. Finding of a lot of papers, is that the most frequently used Guttman Kaiser?s criterion has very poor performance. In the last three years some new criteria were proposed. In this Monte Carlo experiment we aimed to investigate the impact that sample size, number of analyzed variables, number of supposed factors and proportion of error variance have on the accuracy of analyzed criteria for principal components retention. We compared the following criteria: Bartlett?s ?2 test, Horn?s Parallel Analysis, Guttman-Kaiser?s eigenvalue over one, Velicer?s MAP and CHull originally proposed by Ceulemans & Kiers. Factors were systematically combined resulting in 690 different combinations. A total of 138,000 simulations were performed. Novelty in this research is systematic variation of the error variance. Performed simulations showed that, in favorable research conditions, all analyzed criteria work properly. Bartlett?s and Horns criterion expressed the robustness in most of analyzed situations. Velicer?s MAP had the best accuracy in situations with small number of subjects and high number of variables. Results confirm earlier findings of Guttman-Kaiser?s criterion having the worse performance.

Full text

Abstract:

The morphodynamics of the Leucate double-crescent bar system was studied over twenty years using bathymetric data supplemented by satellite images and video monitoring. Eleven different bar typologies were identified, mostly based on existing beach state classifications (Low-Tide Terrace, Transverse Bar and Rip, Rhythmic Bar and Beach), also including new heterogeneous typologies (TBR/LTT, RBB HP/RBB, TBR/RBB). The inner bar shows greater variability, with 10 different typologies observed, while the outer bar shows only three different typologies. Summer low-energy periods are dominated by TBR/LTT and TBR typologies, while RBB, although common throughout the year, dominates winter periods along with disrupted bar configurations. The return to less energetic periods in spring is associated with the establishment of heterogeneous typologies. The outer bar has a fairly stable position, although breaches at the embayments and slight movements of its horns can occur following particularly energetic episodes. The inner bar, on the other hand, is much more dynamic, with more common breaches at the embayments and significant cross-shore movement of the horns. Seasonal changes in bar typology do not lead to bar renewal through destruction/reconstruction. Overall, the morphological and typological characteristics of the bar system described here seem somewhat unique compared to the existing literature.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the way in which Communist writers in mid-twentieth-century Iraq used literature in order to, on the one hand express their tense relationship with the regime during times of severe political repression, and on the other hand sharply criticize the Iraqi people themselves for not taking responsibility for or caring about their fate—or, for that matter, for failing to internalize the social class discourse to which the Communists aspired. The paper’s objective is to examine the connection between the writers’ ideology and the rhetorical and conceptual elements with which they expressed their dissatisfaction with the regime, the way Iraqi society was run, and the desires of both—intellectuals and society at large—to undergo change. In addition, this study will survey the esthetic and stylistic devices, which the writers under consideration chose, and consider both the meanings and motives behind their choices. These aspects will be examined in the framework of a proposed model of “circles of criticism.”

Full text

Abstract:

The Thompson’s approach is used as the standard posterior approach by many surgeons. Although posterior interosseous nerve palsy following the Thompson’s approach has been reported by several authors, isolated paralysis of the extensor digitorum communis (EDC) is a rare occurrence. We report to you a case of isolated paralysis of EDC following the Thompson’s approach in a 14-year-old boy who recovered completely on the 5th postoperative day. Each of the approaches to the proximal radius poses a risk of damage to the posterior interosseous nerve and its branches because of traction. Damage may occur during exposure or implant insertion. Any surgery around the supinator and the radial tunnel region is dangerous because of complex anatomy, lack of intermuscular planes and varying distribution of the radial nerve. Avoiding excessive posterior or ulnar retraction of the EDC and improper dissection can avoid the “sign of horns” deformity following the Thompson’s approach.

Full text

Abstract:

The time-independent fluid flows induced by the attenuation of acoustic energy known as acoustic streaming have been experimentally measured in air using particle image velocimetry for two high powered ultrasonic transducers. The literature declares that these bulk-driven “Eckart” streaming flows are observed as turbulent jets in the direction of the acoustic wave propagation. The aim of this work is to increase the understanding of the coupling between the acoustic and fluid domains and to validate these well-established theoretical relationships. Langevin horns and focused arrays of parking sensor transducers, which operate at ∼26 and 40 kHz, respectively, and are both capable of producing sound pressure levels of up to 170dB, were used to assess the relationship between the first order acoustic field and the second order streaming velocity field. Streaming velocities of the order of 0.2 and 0.3 m/s were measured for the Langevin horn and the focused array, respectively. Two-step COMSOL Multiphysics models were created for both transducers, first solving the acoustic fields in the frequency domain, then using the results to drive a streaming volume force in a stationary fluid mechanics study. Both laminar and turbulent k-ε fluid mechanics models were compared to the experimental results.

Abstract:

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory condition of unknown etiology. Variability in the cutaneous features of sarcoidosis is profound, and its protean manifestations affirm the condition’s designation as one of dermatology’s “great mimics.” Cutaneous phenotypes of sarcoidosis include but are by no means limited to ichthyosiform, alopecic, erythrodermic, angiolupoid, and verrucous variants. Verrucous sarcoidosis is an exceedingly rare manifestation, and previous reports of this phenotype are limited to 15 cases. Most cases in the extant literature presented on the extremities, with clinical features mimicking that of a common wart, or as verrucous crateriform nodules, ulcers, or cutaneous horns. Only 4 previous reports of facial verrucous sarcoidosis exist in the literature, and to our knowledge, no prior cases have demonstrated filiform lesion morphology. Here we present a case of filiform verrucous sarcoidosis in an otherwise healthy, middle-aged African American man, devoid of internal organ involvement and limited to the face, histopathologically confirmed by the presence of characteristic granulomata devoid of lymphocytic infiltrates.

Abstract:

Morphometric characterization is the basis of conservation strategies, performance improvement, breeding, and sustainable utilization plan. The purpose of this research was to determine the morphometrics of the Kacang Goats at the fishpond area in Sidoarjo Regency based on different ages and sex. The fishpond area in Sidoarjo is a closed area where goats are raised and have the potential for inbreeding with the consequence of smaller-sized offspring than normal. Morphometric measurements included the head, ears, neck, body, legs, tail, and horns. This research used a descriptive analysis approach, presenting data in form of mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. The result showed that the average face length of male vs. female Kacang goats was 16.73 ± 2.40 cm vs. 19.68 ± 2.44 cm; with a face width of 11.25 ± 2.91 cm vs. 19.52 ± 3.18 cm; ear length of 14.62 ± 1.38 cm vs. 16.46 ± 1.47 cm; neck length of 15.53 ± 2.65 cm vs. 15.35 ± 2.14 cm; horn length of 7.41 ± 4.10 cm vs. 6.59 ± 2.89 cm; chest circumference of 59.33 ± 8.18 cm vs. 67.80 ± 6.32 cm; body length of 51.45 ± 6.70 cm vs. 56.91 ± 6.54 cm; body height of 54.41 ± 7.22 cm vs. 62.01 ± 5.53 cm; tail length of 13.21 ± 2.01 cm vs. 14.77 ± 3.37 cm; hind leg length of 39.20 ± 5.26 cm vs. 47.74 ± 5.47 cm; and front leg length of 37.00 ± 8.84 cm vs. 44.63 ± 8.65 cm. This research concludes that Kacang Goats in Sidoarjo has characteristics according to SNI standard, and the morphometric size was larger in female than male goats.

Abstract:

Arnold-Chiari malformation or Chiari malformation (CM1) is the name of a group of deformities of the posterior fossa and hindbrain (cerebellum, pons and medulla oblongata). The pathogenetic basis of this disease is associated with herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. CM1 is classified as a rare disease. CM1 can present with a wide variety of symptoms, also non-specific, with consequent controversies on diagnosis and surgical decision-making, particularly in asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic. Syringomyelia (Syr), hydrocephalus, craniocervical instability, encephalocele, scoliosis, spina bifida and spinal dysraphism are the most common comorbidities that may present at the time of diagnosis or develop secondarily. Most attention has been paid to syringomyelia complicated by CM1 (CM1-related Syr). Formation of single or multiple fluid-filled cavities in the spinal cord and/or bulb as a result of pulse changes in intracranial pressure associated with disruption of normal cerebrospinal fluid circulation due to morphological abnormalities of the brain at the magnum level. This condition can be complicated by a rarer disease caused by the development of damage to the anterior horns of the spinal cord - amyotrophic sclerosis (ALS syndrome). In this brief literature review we are trying to demonstrate the mean pathogenic basis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in patients with chiari 1 malformation associated syringomyelia.

Abstract:

Приведенные в статье клинические наблюдения представляют собой различные варианты болезни Хираяма, протекающей с двусторонним или односторонним поражением верхних конечностей. Болезнь Хираяма (БХ) является редким непрогрессирующим неврологическим заболеванием, ассоциированным с поражением мотонейронов передних рогов спинного мозга при сгибании шейного отдела позвоночника. В настоящее время отмечается рост интереса и увеличение числа клинических описаний редкой формы мономелической амиотрофии (болезни Хираяма) в медицинских журналах, что может быть связано с распространенностью нейровизуализационных исследований и более широкого выполнения МРТ пациентам с дистальной амиотрофией. Диагностика БХ основывается на особенностях клинической картины, течения заболевания и дополняется специфичными для данной патологии МРТ-данными. «Золотым стандартом» диагностики БХ является МРТ шейного отдела позвоночника в положении сгибания. На данный момент этиотропного и патогенетического консервативного лечения не разработано. Возможны хирургическая коррекция или симптоматическая консервативная терапия. Приведенные в статье клинические наблюдения представляют собой различные варианты болезни Хираяма, протекающей с двусторонним или односторонним поражением верхних конечностей. The clinical observations presented in the article represent various variants of Hirayama disease, which occurs with a bilateral or unilateral lesion of the upper extremities. Hirayama disease (HD) is a rare non-progressive neurological disease associated with damage to the motor neurons of the anterior horns of the spinal cord during flexion of the cervical spine. Currently, there is the increase of interest and the number of clinical descriptions of a rare form of monomyelic amyotrophy (Hirayama disease) in medical journals, which may be due to the prevalence of neuroimaging studies and more widespread MRI in patients with distal amyotrophy. The diagnosis of HD is based on the features of the clinical picture, the course of the disease, and it is supplemented by MRI data specific to this pathology. The “gold standard” for diagnostics of this pathology is MRI of the cervical spine in the flexion position. Currently, no etiotropic and pathogenetic conservative treatment has been developed. Surgical correction or symptomatic conservative therapy is possible.

We describe an eight-year-old girl who developed cervical pneumorachis after traumatic injury. The child presented subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema and subluxation of the large horns of the hyoid bone disclosed by CT scan a few hours after an accidental fall with mandibular impact. The CT scan also showed a left paramedian collection of air in the spinal canal probably caused by a minor tracheal lesion with passage of air in the posterior mediastinum, paravertebral soft tissues and through the nerve sheaths in the extradural spine. The CT picture normalized after ten days. The presence of air in the epidural space of the spinal canal is more commonly associated with epidural abscess, disc degeneration and sometimes lumbar puncture. Some literature reports describe cases of pneumorachis secondary to pelvic trauma.

Surgical Neurology International 15 (April 19, 2024): 133. http://dx.doi.org/10.25259/sni_42_2024.

Full text

Abstract:

Background: Solitary fibrous tumor/meningeal hemangiopericytoma (SFT/M-HPC) is a rare neoplasm which accounts for around 1% of the intracranial masses. This pathology has a high risk for recurrence and metastasis to distant locations such as the liver, lungs, and bones. Precise diagnosis necessitates detailed histopathological examination. Case Description: We present two case reports of SFT/M-HPC. The first case is a 44-year-old female who presented with headache, nausea, vomiting, and frontal ataxia for several months. Imaging findings showed a large parasagittal extra-axial mass with compression of the frontal horns of both lateral ventricles. She underwent gross total resection with an uncomplicated postoperative period. The patient had no recurrent tumors or distal metastases in the follow-up period of 5 years. The second case is a 48-year-old male who presented with right-sided hemianopsia and hemiparesis. Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed a large parieto-occipital extra-axial mass with superior sagittal sinus engulfment and dislocation of the interhemispheric fissure. He underwent gross total resection with an uncomplicated postoperative period. Six years later, he presented with right-sided weakness. CT scan showed a multifocal recurrent mass at the previous location. He underwent subtotal resection with an uncomplicated postoperative period. Conclusion: SFT/M-HPC should be considered when presented with a meningioma-like tumor mass on preoperative imaging. Immunohistochemical study is crucial for the correct diagnosis. Strict long-term follow-up examinations and regular magnetic resonance imaging scans are key to preventing the appearance of metastases and large recurrent masses.

Abstract:

The genus Phyllodytes comprises 15 species, ten of them having their tadpole external morphology described in the literature. However, there are few descriptive studies on chondrocranium and hyobranchial skeleton. In this work, we describe the chondrocranium and hyobranchial skeleton of Phyllodytes larvae and discuss shared features and interspecific variation. Our findings suggest that the skeletal morphology is mostly conserved in the genus, with common features including a single suprarostral cartilage, short infrarostral cartilages, and overall short trabecular horns. Main intrageneric variations include the arrangement of the ascending process, the presence of larval otic process, and the configuration of the crista parotica. These variations are not correlated with the phylogenetic structure of the genus. Some distinctive aspects of P. praeceptor and P. gyrinaethes are also described in tadpoles of Osteopilus ocellatus, and could be related to oophagous habits in these tadpoles.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTA new, extensive examination of figures with horns and triangular shaped heads in prehistoric rock paintings in Finland reveals remarkable parallels with similar attributes on the Radien and Akka groups of spirits, pictured as male and female powers of the sky, earth and underworld, painted on the heads of indigenous Sámi noaidi drums from Swedish and Norwegian Sápmi during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. What makes this particular study of interest is that the cultural context or origins of rock paintings in Finland remains ambiguous. They are contextualised as being ‘Finnish’ according to academic literature. This paper explores these theories further and presents the findings of this investigation. In light of these findings, a re-examination and re-interpretation of the cultural context of rock paintings in Finland concerning Sámi pre-Christian religion and cultural heritage is prompted.

Abstract:

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a congenital disorder marked by aplasia or hypoplasia of the uterus and vagina as a result of arrest in the development of the müllerian ducts. Prevalence being 1 in 4000–5000 live births of females. Leiomyoma is the most common uterine tumor, their occurrence from rudimentary uterus in females with MRKH syndrome is very rare and only a few cases have been documented in the literature. Here we report a 38-year-old female, known case of MRKH syndrome presenting with USG suggestive of 7.9x7.4x6.0 leiomyoma in proximity to the hypoplastic uterus, undergoing a laparoscopic removal of fibroid with right ovarian cystectomy (incidental finding). Therefore, it is important to consider such unusual diagnosis of fibroids originating from primitive horns while treating these patients for gynecological symptoms as well as infertility, and consider them managing endoscopically.

Abstract:

Background: While hyperglycemia is intimately associated with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM), recent clinical studies have demonstrated that hyperglycemia is also present in the early acute phase of stroke and is associated with poor prognosis and increased long-term mortality. About half of patients with acute hemorrhagic stroke also present with hyperglycemia upon admission. But more than 50% of patients with acute hemorrhagic stroke develop hyperglycemia even without a previous history of DM. This sheds new light on the relationship between DM, hyperglycemia, and hemorrhagic stroke, with a pathophysiology that is perhaps more profound than is conventionally understood. The Case: We report a case of a 68-year-old female, with a history of DM Type 2 and stage 3 hypertension who presents to the emergency room (ER) at the Western Regional Hospital in Belmopan City, Belize, with hemorrhagic stroke and hyperglycemia. Diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage was found in the frontal, temporal, and parietal regions. Mild intraventricular hemorrhage was also observed in the frontal horns and basal cisterns. And small areas of intraparenchymal hemorrhage were present in the frontal lobes. The patient was stabilized and treated conservatively with calcium channel blockers, and diuretics. Conclusion: Despite a unifying consensus that is still pending, maintaining glucose levels between 110-120 mg/dl by using continuous insulin infusions after traumatic brain injury or aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage may carry some clinical benefit with slightly improved outcome.

Abstract:

Lyre shaped ornament is a common motif of ornamental and folklore applied art. But, unfortunately, the origins of the lyre shaped motif are still not well investigated. In the paper we review the literature devoted to the study of the emergence and spread of a lyre shaped motif and analyze museum exhibits from catalogs and published sources. The aim of the study is to define the сenters of the lyre motif origin and the paths of its distribution. Material and methods. Article analyzes lyre shaped motifs in museum artifacts, folk arts and crafts using materials presented in published literature and catalogs of museum exhibits. A spiral motif originated in Egypt. The origins of the lyre motif in ancient Egypt are probably connected with the iconography of the Egyptian god of Hathor, who was depicted as a woman with a headdress decorated with lyre shaped horns and a solar disk between them. It should be noted that the tradition of depicting a human face with cow horns has connections with the Neolithic period of the Nile Valley, where cattle breeding arose in the 6-5th millennium BC. The first cases of using a lyre shaped motif occured in scarab-like seals of Egypt and Minoan culture. Artifacts with a lyre shaped motif were observed related, dating from the Minoan and Mycenaean periods, during to the period of classical Hellenistic Greece. A lyre shaped motif was spread along trade routes from Crete to the Danube, the Elbe, the shores of the Baltic Sea and, together with the Celts, penetrated into Britain, from the Greek colonies of the Black Sea to the Scythians. In the Asian part of the Eurasian steppes, this motif symbolized the image of the eagle totem animal depicted like a griffin, especially in the early Scythian and Hunnic period. The origins of the lyre shaped motif in the Asian steppe, apparently, were the ancient motifs “taotie” in China and “masks” in the Russian Far East. The popularity of the lyre shaped motif in the folk arts and crafts of the Turkic peoples was probably due to the spread of this motif within the Scythian community, when there was a cult of the eagle-like griffin and totem.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper reexamines the problem of the origins of a popular medieval and modern image of the devil as an anthropomorphic creature with hooves and horns and seeks to reconstruct the analogous ancient image of a satyr-like devil as it could be witnessed in diverse sources, including Hellenistic mythology, rabbinic legends, and early Christian texts. It seems that, not belonging completely to any of these worlds, this therianthropic motif emerges from a complicated literary history wherein Greco-Roman Pan, Jewish seirim, and other mythological figures graft themselves and their imagery around the forces of the demonic. The main argument of the paper as a whole centers around the place of 3 Baruch in this complicated history. This composition may contain the only physical description and detailed treatment of demonic seirim-satyrs in early Jewish literature and the earliest notion of satyr-like demons available to us.
