Trends of Mathematics Education Research Studies Published in Journal of Mathematics Education from 2017 to 2021

The study aimed to analyze the trends of mathematics education research published in the Journal of Mathematics Education in the last five years and to propose a future map for mathematics education research in the light of the analysis results, professors’ and experts’ views, and the contemporary international trends. The study used a simplified model to classify research in seven domains. Also, the researcher used a questionnaire for professors and experts to determine a future map for mathematics education research. The results showed the research trends in the Journal of Mathematics Education were most of the articles were single authored (79.5%), the use of the experimental methodology (63%), the dominance of teaching strategies research (37%), the number of primary school students (27%) followed by the middle school students (26%), the category of normal students (89.7%), and the experimental research using one independent variable (62.5%). For the dependent variables, the articles used two dependent variables (30.7%). Achievement was the most frequent at 17%. The interaction of one independent variable with two dependents variables was the most frequent and the research co-authored by professors was 11%. The study suggested a future map for future mathematics education research. Recommendations and suggestions were presented. Keywords: Research trends, research priorities, mathematics education, educational researc

Is type II diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) a surgical disease?

Since February 1, 1980, 515 morbidly obese patients have undergone the Greenville gastric bypass (GGB) operation. Of these, 212 (41.2%) were euglycemic, 288 (55.9%) were either diabetic or had glucose intolerance, and 15 (2.9%) were unable to complete the evaluation. After the operation, only 30 (5.8%) patients remained diabetic (and 20 of these improved), 457 (88.7%) became and have remained euglycemic, and inadequate data prevented classification of the other 28 (5.4%). The patients who failed to return to normal glucose values were older and their diabetes was of longer duration than those who did. The effect of the GGB was not only limited to the correction of abnormal glucose levels. The GGB also corrected the abnormal levels of fasting insulin and glycosylated hemoglobin in a cohort of 52 consecutive severely obese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes. The GGB effectively controls weight. If morbid obesity is defined as 100 pounds over ideal body weight, 89% of the patients are no longer "morbidly" obese within 2 years. In most patients, the control of the weight has been well maintained during the 11 years of follow-up; most of the upward creep in weight of 20.8% between 24 and 132 months was from the 49 (9.5%) patients who had staple line breakdowns between the large and small gastric pouches. Non-insulin-dependent diabetes, previously considered a chronic unrelenting disease, can be controlled in the severely obese by the gastric bypass. Whether the correction of glucose metabolism affects the complications of diabetes is unknown. Whether the gastric bypass should be considered for patients with advanced non-insulin-dependent diabetes but who are not severely obese deserves consideration. The GGB has an unacceptably high rate of staple line failure. Accordingly, the authors have recently changed their procedure to one that divides the stomach rather than partitions it with staples.

The impact of surgical delay on resectability of colorectal cancer: An international prospective cohort study

AIM: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to explore the impact of surgical delays on cancer resectability. This study aimed to compare resectability for colorectal cancer patients undergoing delayed versus non-delayed surgery. METHODS: This was an international prospective cohort study of consecutive colorectal cancer patients with a decision for curative surgery (January-April 2020). Surgical delay was defined as an operation taking place more than 4 weeks after treatment decision, in a patient who did not receive neoadjuvant therapy. A subgroup analysis explored the effects of delay in elective patients only. The impact of longer delays was explored in a sensitivity analysis. The primary outcome was complete resection, defined as curative resection with an R0 margin. RESULTS: Overall, 5453 patients from 304 hospitals in 47 countries were included, of whom 6.6% (358/5453) did not receive their planned operation. Of the 4304 operated patients without neoadjuvant therapy, 40.5% (1744/4304) were delayed beyond 4 weeks. Delayed patients were more likely to be older, men, more comorbid, have higher body mass index and have rectal cancer and early stage disease. Delayed patients had higher unadjusted rates of complete resection (93.7% vs. 91.9%, P = 0.032) and lower rates of emergency surgery (4.5% vs. 22.5%, P < 0.001). After adjustment, delay was not associated with a lower rate of complete resection (OR 1.18, 95% CI 0.90-1.55, P = 0.224), which was consistent in elective patients only (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.69-1.27, P = 0.672). Longer delays were not associated with poorer outcomes. CONCLUSION: One in 15 colorectal cancer patients did not receive their planned operation during the first wave of COVID-19. Surgical delay did not appear to compromise resectability, raising the hypothesis that any reduction in long-term survival attributable to delays is likely to be due to micro-metastatic disease
