Repair of Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea in a Patient Presenting Empty Sella Syndrome: Case Report and Review of Literature
No full textIntroduction: The cause of Empty Sella syndrome is unknown, however it occurs when intracranial contents herniate through the sellar diaphragm, filling the sella turcica with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and giving the appearance of an absent pituitary gland on radiography.
Case Presentation: Author presents a rare case of a 67 years-old woman who was admitted into our department with a complaint of dripping clear fluid from the left side of her nose. Clinical examination and biological, radiological investigations found a CSF leakage through a minute bony defect in the floor of the sella associated with empty Stella syndrome. Treatment consisted of the reparation of the leak using a fascia lata graft, and the sphenoidal sinus was obliterated with fat.
Conclusion: When evaluating patients with non-traumatic CSF rhinorrhea, the otolaryngologist must consider empty sella syndrome as a diagnostic possibility
PENGARUH KONSENTRASI KITOSAN SEBAGAI PENGAWET ALAMI TAHU DENGAN METODE EDIBLE COATING
No full textTelah dilakukan penelitian tentang pengawetan tahu dengan menggunakan
pengawet alami kitosan. Kitosan adalah salah satu zat yang merupakan bentuk
kimiawi dari kitin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh
konsentrasi kitosan yang baik digunakan sebagai pengawet alami pada tahu dan
untuk mengetahui tingkat kesukaan masyarakat pada tahu yang telah diawetkan
dengan melakukan uji organoleptik. Pengawetan dilakukan dengan menggunakan
metode Edibel Coating yang mana metode edible coating ini berfungsi untuk
memperpanjang umur simpan tahu. Tahu putih direndam dengan larutan kitosan
dengan perlakuan konsentrasi yang berbeda, perendaman dilakukan selama 5
menit pertama dan 1 menit lalu disimpan disuhu ruang. Larutan kitosan dibuat
dengan menambahkan larutan asam asetat 1% dan dengan konsentrasi yang
berbeda yaitu 0%, 1%, 1,5%, 2%, 2,5%, 3% dan 3,5%, kitosan dilarutkan dengan
menggunakan stirrer magnetic pada suhu 500
celcius. Hasil penelitian,
menunjukkan bahwa tahu putih dapat bertahan hingga 5 hari setelah direndam
dengan menggunakan larutan kitosan yang terjadi pada kitosan konsentrasi 1,5%
dan 2%. Uji organoleptik dilakukan dengan pengisian form dengan jumlah 15
panelis, dengan hasil yang didapatkan bahwa tahu dengan konsentrasi 1,5% dan
2% cenderung lebih disukai baik dari segi warna, tekstur, aroma dan rasa dengan
hasil 86,67%-100% dalam kategori suka hingga sangat suka.

Normal Variations of the Sella Turcica on Thin-Section Tomography : Concerning the Sellar Floor and the Sphenoid Sinus
No full textNormal variations of the sella turcica on thin-section tomography were studied in 40 normal clinical cases who had no abnormal lesions in the sella turcica and the sphenoid sinus, and in 50 normal dry skulls. Tomography of the sella turcica was performed with hypocycloidal motion at 2 mm intervals in anteroposterior and lateral projections. The author investigated the shape of the sellar floor and the sphenoid sinus and its septa. In the relationship between the sellar floor and the pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus, the sellar height of the major and extensive sellar type was smaller than the height of the conchal and presellar type of sphenoidal pneumatization. In the relationship between the sellar floor and the sphenoid septum, 34 of 68 cuts which had lateral septum or double septa had an asymmetric sellar floor. Twenty-three of 48 cases on frontal tomograms and 24 of 44 cases on lateral tomograms had a downward V-shaped projection of the sellar floor at the site of the attachment of the septum. The sellar floor was concave in 57.0%, flat in 41.1% and convex in 1.9% on the frontal tomograms. Fourteen of 90 cases had different sellar floor shapes on every tomographic cut of the frontal tomograms and eight of 14 cases had asymmetric sellar floors. Fifty-eight cases had concave sellar floors, of which the maximum measurement was 2.4 mm. Twenty-five cases had lateral depression of the sellar floor, the maximum measurement of which was below 2.5mm in ordinary cases and the maximum degree of the angle of the sellar floor was below 10 degrees in those cases who had the same degree of pneumatization in the sphenoid sinus. The thickness of the lamina dura on the anterior and posterior sellar floor was thinner than that on the inferior sellar floor. Localized expansion of the sellar floor was seen in 29 cases and localized thinning was seen in 22 cases. On the other hand, localized expansion associated with thinning of the sellar floor was seen in only four cases and this finding never exceeded one tomographic cut. Therefore, the presence of pituitary microadenoma might be suspected when localized expansion associated with thinning of the sellar floor is seen more than two tomographic cuts.departmental bulletin pape
Identifying and analyzing extremely productive authors in intensive care medicine: A scientometric analysis
No full textIntroduction: Clinical progress relies heavily on research, however, recent years have seen distortions in this process due to the “publish or perish” model. This model is further amplified by team science, leading to inflated author counts and metrics. Recently the rise of hyperprolific (HA) and almost hyperprolific (AHA) authors has been highlighted in the global literature scenario, but data on intensive care medicine (ICM) is lacking. This study aims to investigate HA and AHA authors in ICM and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on publication rates. Material and methods: We identified authors publishing in ICM journals indexed by Scopus from 2019 to 2023, retrieving their Scopus IDs, publication details, and gender. HA were defined as authors who published at least 73 articles per year, while AHA as authors who published more than 60. The effect of COVID-19 literature was assessed by excluding COVID-related articles from the dataset. Results: We identified 42860 articles in ICM journals, involving 186150 unique authors with a median of 5 publications per author. Only 248 (0.1 %) were extremely productive, with 131 being hyperprolific (HA). Removing COVID-19 papers significantly reduced HA and AHA counts by up to 40 %. Extremely productive authors were predominantly male (91.5 %) and globally distributed, primarily from Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Conclusions: Hyperprolific authors in ICM represent a very small minority. These authors are typically related to ICM, male, senior researchers with a global distribution, who publish high-quality research through a significant research network
