Mastoiditis causing Sinus Thrombosis and Posterior Fossa Epidural Haematoma : Case report
Spontaneously occurring epidural haematomas are an uncommon entity. A spontaneous post fossa epidural haematoma due to sigmoid sinus thrombosis secondary to mastoiditis has not been reported in English medical literature. We report a 40 year-old man who presented to us with headache and incoordination. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed epidural sub-acute bleeding in the right side of posterior fossa with mastoiditis and right sigmoid sinus thrombosis. A right suboccipital craniotomy and evacuation of the haematoma was done and the patient was relieved of his complains

Pelatihan Penggunaan Mendeley Reference Dalam Penulisan Karya Ilmiah
Writing scientific papers is an essential foundation in the academic sphere, requiring researchers, students, and academics to manage, refer to, and cite various sources that support their arguments and findings. Emerging as a solution to this challenge, Mendeley Reference has the potential to change the way writers manage references in the context of higher education. This Community Service Activity (PKM) aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding to students, especially those in the 7th semester of the PGSD major at the Teaching and Education Faculty of Buton Muslim University, regarding the benefits of using the Mendeley application in writing scientific assignments. This PKM is carried out through three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The evaluation results showed that most participants had a good understanding, but some required further training. The positive impact of the training can be seen in the academic and professional development of the participants. Therefore, as a follow-up, practical exercises will be intensified, increased structured discussions between participants and presenters, and gathering input from participants for future improvements. Overall, this training significantly contributes to providing students with essential skills in scientific writing and better preparation for future academic and professional challenges
Influential Article Review - Flexible Job Arrangements: A Meta-Analytical Analysis
This paper examines management We present insights from a highly influential paper. Here are the highlights from this paper: This meta-analysis investigates how three flexible work practices (FWPs), flexible work schedules, telecommuting and sabbaticals, affect organizational attractiveness for job seekers and the organizational attachment of employees. Based on organizational support theory and signalling theory, we conjecture that anticipated organizational support mediates the positive relationship between FWPs and organizational attractiveness. Applying the conservation of resources theory, we suggest that FWPs increase organizational attachment through increased perceived autonomy. Meta-analytic results based on 68 studies and 52,738 employees indicate that FWPs increase organizational attractiveness and that the positive effects are partially mediated by anticipated organizational support. We also find that flexible work schedules and sabbaticals (but not telecommuting) increase organizational commitment and that all FWPs decrease turnover intention. Furthermore, these effects are partially mediated by perceived autonomy. Implications for practice and future research are discussed. For our overseas readers, we then present the insights from this paper in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German

The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to test relationship between variables of the study on Smart PLS 4. Results of the study show that the affordability and accessibility have significant relationship with the tourists' delight. The findings suggest that the tourist delight can be increased in the mountain tourism through the travel attributes (affordability and accessibility) have significant impact on the tourist delight
A Study On Cyp2c19 Genetic Variations Of Clopidogrel And Ticagrelor Treatment Among Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
The P2Y12 receptor inhibitors, especially clopidogrel, are common antiplatelet drugs used for the prevention of recurrent adverse cardiovascular events among
patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Several factors may affect the effectiveness of antiplatelet therapy,
including genetic variations in CYP450 enzymes. Loss of function (LOF) carriers of the CYP2C19 gene are associated with the decreased metabolism of clopidogrel into
active metabolites via CYP2C19 enzyme, leading to decreased platelet inhibition. This causes an increased risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. Drug regulatory authorities
suggested using alternative P2Y12 inhibitor, which is ticagrelor. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the adverse effects, and CYP2C19 genetic variations of clopidogrel and ticagrelor treatment among CAD patients undergoing PCI
Long term results of Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy using Side viewing Conical working tube
Object: Endoscopic discectomy is a common procure performed worldwide with various devices being used and studies have reported their long term results. In this study we present the long term results of the unique device with separate side viewing channel. Methods: 66 patients of lumbar disc herniation treated between March 2009 to April 2012 using the unique conical working tube with separate side viewing endoscopic channel. Their preoperative and postoperative Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Macnab scores were used to evaluate the outcome after a minimum follow of 5 years with mean follow up of 76.18 months. Results: There were 46 males and 20 females with age ranging from19-72 (mean-38.4 years). The follow up ranged from 61 months to 95 months with mean of 76.18 months. The mean preoperative ODI score was 74.7 which decreased to a mean of 7.8 and the outcome evaluated by Macnab criteria was 69.69% excellent, 17 % good, 10% fair, 3.03% poor. 2 patients underwent second surgery. None of the patient had to change their occupation due to their lumbar disc disease. Complications occurred were dural tear in 2 patients, transient foot paresis in 1 patient and 1 discitis in 1 patient which improved on medical management. Conclusion: Endoscopic discectomy using thins Conical working tube is a safe and effective technique for lumbar disc prolapse. It has the advantage for early mobilization, short hospital stay and low cost. The long term results are comparable to the conventional techniques
