Microsurgical Strategies for the Treatment of Compression Neuropathies Secondary to Vertebrobasilar Dolichoectasia: From Simple Decompression to Sling Transposition

Vertebrobasilar artery dolichoectasia may result in neural element compression anywhere along its course within the cervical region, the craniocervical junction or in the posterior fossa. The clinical syndromes most often observed include cranial neuropathy, bulbar dysfunction, myelopathy and cervical radiculopathy. When indicated, the operative techniques utilized to address vertebrobasilar artery dolichoectasia must be individually tailored, can be technically challenging, and have been rarely expounded. To share selected cases that demonstrate the variety of pathological states caused by vertebrobasilar artery dolichoectasia as well as our experience in managing this condition. Here we review examples of pathological impingement of neural elements compressed by ectasia within the vertebrobasilar arterial system throughout its anatomic course. The surgical techniques we have employed to alleviate the compression, including simple decompression as well as sling-assisted arterial transposition, are described. The evolution and refinement of our transposition technique are detailed. A wide range of pathological conditions may result from compression of neural structures throughout the course of the vertebrobasilar system. Compression of cervical nerve roots, the spinal cord, brainstem, and cranial nerves can be seen. Microsurgical management may be indicated in selected cases with gratifying results. Pathological compression of neural structures throughout the course of the vertebrobasilar system should be recognized. When indicated, microsurgical decompression must be tailored to the individual symptomology and the unique anatomic relationship in each case with the potential to prevent neurological worsening and, in many cases, improve functional outcome.

Clinical and Radiological Evaluation of the Treatment of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture in Cats with the Musculus Biceps Femoris Transposition Technique

Abstract The aim of this study was to clinically and radiologically evaluate the technique of biceps femoris muscle transposition as a new extracapsular treatment technique for cranial cruciate ligament ruptures, which are often encountered in cats. In this study, eight cats diagnosed with cranial cruciate ligament rupture were treated with the biceps femoris muscle transposition technique. The postoperative standard clinical examination procedures were applied to each cat for 90 days. In the preoperative clinical and radiological examinations of the eight cats in the study, cranial cruciate ligament rupture alone was diagnosed in seven of them. Both, the cranial cruciate ligament rupture and meniscal lesions in the same stifle joint were determined in one cat. The biceps femoris muscle transposition technique operation took approximately 20 mins in each case. The postoperative radiographs were taken on days 10, 30, 60 and 90. No complications were seen in any case during the postoperative follow-up. The Illinois University Evaluation Scale was used for a more objective evaluation. At 90 days postoperatively, there was no lameness in seven out of eight cats, and mild limping was determined in one of them due to concomitant meniscal lesion. According to the study results, the biceps femoris muscle transposition technique was found to be extremely useful as an easily applicable technique in the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in cats.

Sub-SMAS Transposition of the Buccal Fat Pad.

Regardless of the technique chosen to treat the aging midface, the isolated lateral approach facelift has a limited impact on the midface volume deficit. In an effort to overcome this limitation, modern facial rejuvenation procedures incorporate an additional modality for replenishing the midface volume. Some of the author's facelift patients present with bulging buccal fat pads despite volume deficiency in the inframalar region. The author's technique is designed to utilize the buccal fat pad to replenish the inframalar volume deficit. The author sought to present the fat pad transposition surgical technique along with objective outcome data. This study was a retrospective review of nonconsecutive cases where the sub-superficial-musculo-aponeurotic-system transposition of the buccal fat pad was performed. A total of 22 patients underwent the fat pad transposition technique by the author (O.B.) between July 2013 and December 2017. Patient data were obtained from patient records, 3-dimensional models, magnetic resonance images, and standardized photography. Preoperative differences in midface volume were assessed utilizing curvilinear surface measurements on 3-dimensional models and the Allergan midface volume deficit scale on standardized photography. The average midface volume deficit score significantly improved, and the average midfacial curvilinear surface measurement significantly increased after surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a stable position of the buccal fat pad after surgery. The sub-superficial-musculo-aponeurotic-system transposition of the buccal fat pad is an effective technique that can be safely employed for autologous inframalar augmentation in patients with a favorable facial morphology.

Autotransplantation With a 3-Dimensionally Printed Replica of the Donor Tooth Minimizes Extra-Alveolar Time and Intraoperative Fitting Attempts: A Multicenter Prospective Study of 100 Transplanted Teeth

Three-dimensional (3D) autotransplantation is a technique for surgical transposition of a tooth to another site within one patient, using 3D printed replicas of the donor tooth. In this study, we evaluated intraoperative experiences during 3D autotransplantation of teeth. A multicenter prospective clinical study was implemented. All procedures were performed using preoperative cone-beam computed tomography imaging and computer-assisted design with computer-assisted manufacturing resulting in a 3D replica of the donor tooth. The 100 autotransplantation procedures (79 patients) included canines, premolars, molars, and 1 supernumerary tooth. In 82% of the procedures, the transplantation was performed with an extra-alveolar time of less than 1minute and an immediate good fit of the donor tooth. In 14%, the extra-alveolar time was 1 to 3minutes or multiple fitting attempts were necessary. In 4%, the extra-alveolar time exceeded 3minutes. Difficulties during the procedures were caused by movement artifacts on the preoperative cone-beam computed tomography imaging, a long interval between the imaging and the procedure, or insufficient bone volume at the recipient site. The use of a 3D printed donor tooth replica during autotransplantation procedures minimized the extra-alveolar time and intraoperative fitting attempts of transplants. This facilitated a quick and reliable treatment and enabled more difficult procedures.

Facial reanimation: an update on nerve transfers in facial paralysis.

The aim of this article is to review the recent literature on nerve transfers in facial paralysis. The discussion focuses on direct nerve repair and three types of nerve transfers, cross facial nerve graft, hypoglossal, and masseter nerve transfers. Masseteric nerve transfers have a high probability of creating significant movement, although tone is poor. The hypoglossal to facial nerve transfer is reliable in affording facial tone and has been updated to involve a transposition technique that offers good results with minimal morbidity. Combination nerve transfer techniques using multiple cranial nerves or cross-face nerves are increasingly described. Reinnervation of the facial nerve and neural regeneration in general are areas of intense research and novel surgical approaches continue to be explored. Although direct nerve repair is the most ideal, other nerve transfers can be performed with good results. More specifically, the masseteric nerve transfer can provide excellent movement and the hypoglossal transfer good tone. Combination transfers may afford the benefits of multiple nerves.

Techniques of Translating Adele’s 25 Album into Indonesian and The Naturalness Quality

This research focuses on analyzing the use of translation techniques and the naturalness of the translated lyrics. The objectives of the study were to investigate the translation techniques used to translate song lyrics and to identify the naturalness in translated lyrics of Adele's 25 album songs. This research was done qualitatively. This research applied the translation technique classification proposed by Molina and Albir (2002:509-511) and the naturalness assessment proposed by Nababan (2012). Data analysis was done by comparing the original language and the translated lyrics version to find out the most used of translation techniques. The rater survey was also done by asking 20 respondents to find out the naturalness level of the translated lyrics. The results of the study showed that there were 276 data of the translated lyrics and 11 translation techniques found in this research. Literal translation technique was the most frequent used, followed by Linguistic compression. Some other translation techniques were used moderately such as, Established equivalent, reduction, and discursive creation. The rest techniques were used in low frequency such as modulation, amplification, compensation, linguistic amplification, transposition, and particularization. In terms of naturalness assessed by twenty respondents found that around 61.95% of the data were considered natural translation, 28.80% were less natural and 9.23% were unnatural. The translation techniques with the highest naturalness were Linguistic amplification technique with a percentage 68.18%, particularization was contributing most to less natural translation with percentage 45%, and the transposition technique was contributing most to unnatural translation with percentage 23%. From the data, it can be concluded that the translated lyrics of Adele's 25 album were mostly natural.

Perancangan Aplikasi Keamanan Pesan Teks dengan menggunakan Algoritma Triple Transposition Vigenere Cipher

Security is a very important aspect of information systems. Some information is generally only intended for a certain group of people, therefore security is needed to prevent the information from reaching other parties who are not interested so that the possibility of leakage or misuse of information can be avoided by designing a security system that serves to protect the information system . Information security issues that we often encounter include passive tapping, active tapping, fraud and so on. In addition there are two main problems of text message security that must be considered by the user, namely the problem of privacy (privacy) and authenticity (autenthication). To overcome the above problems, the writer tries to design an application that can be used to do the encryption and decryption process by applying the triple transposition vigenere cipher algorithm in encryption and decryption. This algorithm is a super encryption algorithm, because in the encryption process it uses two techniques, namely transposition technique and substitution technique. The substitution technique in this algorithm uses the vigenere cipher algorithm.

Patellar luxation in dogs

Patellar luxation is one of the most common orthopaedic diseases in dogs. Medial luxation occurs more frequently than lateral, and females and small-breed dogs are overrepresented. Diagnosis can be achieved with a simple orthopaedic examination, but the use of imaging is essential to determine what deformities have caused the patellar luxation and therefore aid planning surgical intervention. Surgery is recommended in patients that are clinically affected and is normally a combination of trochleoplasty, tibial tuberosity transposition and imbrication techniques. The prognosis is generally favourable following surgery, although surgery does not prevent the progression of osteoarthritis.

Reading with letter transpositions in central and peripheral vision.

We used a letter transposition (LT) technique to investigate letter position coding during reading in central and peripheral vision. Eighteen subjects read aloud sentences in a rapid serial visual presentation task. The tests contained a baseline and three LT conditions with initial, internal, and final transpositions (e.g., “reading” to “erading”, “raeding”, and “readign”). The four reading conditions were tested in separate blocks. We found that LT had a smaller cost on peripheral (10° lower field) than on central reading speed, possibly due to the higher intrinsic position uncertainty of letters in the periphery. The pattern of cost (initial > final > internal) was the same for central and peripheral vision, indicating a similar lexical route for both. In the periphery, LT only affected transposed words, while in central vision it also affected untransposed words. This spread of the LT effect in central vision could not be accounted for by increased attention or memory load, or by decreased sentence context.

Cryptography Using Multi-Dimensional Objects

In today’s era, protection of data has become a major issue due to vulnerable information that is increasing significantly, because of active & passive attack. So, in this era finding ways to make a data secure has now become one of the most demanding aspects of orthodox cryptography in order to secure communication. In this project, the authors have analyzed and designed a new algorithm based on multi-dimensional objects, to bring a revolutionary change in cryptography encryption and decryption by increasing the bits of the encryption key, rate of confusion and rate of diffusion significantly. The algorithmic approach that is to be used in encryption of data, will be rotation of bits of data on different vertices in place of an index, using the concept of transposition technique, where it will serve all the basic purpose of cryptography that are authentication, data confidentiality, data integrity, and non-repudiation. This will help to tackle security issues regarding message and data encryption which are soon going to play a crucial role in our lives.

Laparoscopic Ovarian Transposition in Rectal Cancer: More than Just Oncological Outcomes.

Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy which down stages tumor and improves complete resection rates thus reducing local recurrences. Pelvic radiotherapy improves oncological outcomes; however, it is associated with ovarian irradiation and premature menopause. This has a consequence to fertility and hormone preservation in young women diagnosed with locally advanced rectal cancer. Laparoscopic ovarian transposition is an established method to preserve ovarian function. This review discusses the technique, indications, and limitations of laparoscopic ovarian transposition in young women requiring pelvic radiotherapy.

‘Scarless reverse umbilicoplasty’: A new technique of umbilical transposition in abdominoplasty

The navel plays a major role in the aesthetics of the abdomen. A navel that is abnormally shaped, malpositioned or has evident scarring may compromise the outcome of an otherwise well-executed full abdominoplasty. The aim of the technique in question is to recreate a navel that looks natural, with no visible scar, and that is properly positioned. The technique was performed in 147 abdominoplasties of patients of both sexes (123 females and 24 males), with an average age of 35 years and a mean BMI of 24 kg/m2. The procedure involves the creation of a navel of reduced size, 10 × 5 mm, and its inset in the abdominal wall. Subsequently, the as-yet-not sutured abdominal flap is extended caudally to determine the point of projection of the navel. The abdominal skin is marked, the flap is reversed and an internal suture is carried out. The appearance of the navel is aesthetically pleasant and natural looking and with no visible scarring. In addition, the position of the umbilicus is always correct. At the two-year follow-up, the results remain stable. No major complication occurred. The technique allows for the attainment of an extremely natural looking navel that satisfies the aesthetic criteria of attractiveness without visible scarring. The navel is always correctly positioned, without requiring measurements during surgery. The procedure is rapid, and although it does require a short learning curve, the results are extremely aesthetically pleasing and reproducible. The patient satisfaction rate is extremely high.

The Cornerstone Technique of Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm with Vertebral Artery Offender

Microvascular decompression surgery is the most effective treatment for hemifacial spasm (HFS). The vertebral artery (VA) is a larger and more elastic vessel, which makes surgical management moredifficult. We introduce a surgical technique of proximal Teflon transposition with interposition (PTTI) inthe vertebromedullary space for HFS with a VA offender. In 112 patients with HFS, 22 patients had a VA offender on the facial nerve exit zone. Six of 22 patients with a VA offender underwent surgery by traditional microvascular decompression at the facial nerve exit zone, and 16 patients underwent the PTTI technique. We compared surgical outcomes of the PTTI technique and the conventional technique for HFS associated withthe VA. We also compared surgical outcomes of the PTTI technique with outcomes of other alternative techniques. The PTTI technique was associated with a good operative prognosis and fewer complications. The PTTI technique is an easy, safe, and effective method for treatment of patients with HFS with a VA offender. The PTTI technique can be considered as another treatment option in addition to the transposition technique reported previously.

Концепция театральной реальности Андрия Жолдака (на примере спектаклей «Zholdak Dreams: похитители чувств» и «По ту сторону занавеса»)

The article presents a formulation of the aesthetic principles in the work of Ukrainian film producer Andriy Zholdak by the example of two productions made in St. Petersburg — “Zholdak Dreams: Abductors of Feelings” and “Beyond the Curtains.” Stemming from historical premises of the phenomenon of theatricality and the conceptions of the structure of the theatrical mask expounded by the artist, the author analyzes the film producer’s actable approach to performance of a dramatic text, as well as the artistic techniques of transposition of the subjectivity of perception in the capacity of a means of formation of the stage image of the objective world. When turning to the techniques of the theatrical masque, the author researches the nature of symbiotic relations of the actor and his or her role existing in the determined stage reality of Zholdak, who is able to connect within a single spatial field the temporal strata of the text, the performer and the audience. The producer chooses the associative type of montage of episodes for the creation of the overall visual picture out of cinematographic, visual, musical and plastic means of expression. Analysis of the crucial moments of the productions helps organize the structure of the conceptual thinking of the artist, who asserts the relationship between the subjectivity of theater and the objectivity of reality as the ambivalence of the form of being. The theatrical world of Zholdak is characterized for a surrealistic principle of producing the theatrical performances, a rejection of representation and turning to deconstruction of the matrix of the theatrical play with a subsequent manifestation of its alternate reality on stage.

Uterine transposition technique: update and review.

This review concerns the uterine transposition technique for preserving fertility in patients who require pelvic radiotherapy. Uterine transposition was developed from adapting well-established surgical techniques with the goal of keeping the uterus and adnexa outside the radiotherapy field in order to preserve their function. The uterine transposition technique is presented step by step, with discussion of the literature that served as the basis for the technique's development. Its most recent modifications, resulting from the authors' experience, are also presented. Technical details relating to possible complications and their implications are also discussed. The uterine transposition technique is evolving. Although its basics are defined, the need for improvement remains. The results of the technique are pending and require further study.

A hybrid cryptosystem based on zig-zag algorithm and Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) algorithm

The security issue is one of the most critical aspects of the message. Cryptography is a science based on a mathematical technique for security-related information with confidentiality, data integrity, and authentication. A hybrid cryptosystem works by combining symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. The purpose of using zig – zag algorithm and RSA algorithm is to cover the weakness of symmetric and asymmetric algorithm. Zig-zag Cipher is one of the classical cryptographic algorithms that use the technique of transposition. The method of inversion is utilizing the character permutation. The RSA algorithm is an asymmetric cryptographic algorithm that has used most frequently, and this is due to the reliability. The length of RSA keys in bits can be set, with the longer the bits, the more difficult to solve because of the difficulty of factoring the two huge numbers, but this has an impact on the more extended the decryption process. This research used to encrypt the message by zig-zag algorithm while the RSA algorithm encrypts the key of the zig-zag algorithm. The results of this research are the bigger size of the file, then the higher the size of the ciphertext. Based on the graph of the plaintext length against the processing time obtained the results of the length of the plaintext is directly proportional to the time and form of the linear graph. Encryption and decryption processes require different time durations. The encryption process takes longer time than decryption process.
