While, exclusion criteria were patients who were under 18 years old, presence of other cranio-vertebral junction abnormalities such as basilar invagination or other anomalies, tumors, infections and trauma, and patients with poor general condition such as renal or hepatic failure patients. Indication for surgery was progressive disabling manifestations as head and neck pain, extremity pain, weakness and/or hypoesthesia, gait difficulties, cranial nerves deficit, hyperreflexia, abnormal temperature discrimination in the extremities, imbalance, and drop attacks. Inclusion criteria involved all patients aged above 18 years, in addition to a radiological evidence of Chiari malformation type 1 with or without syringomyelia in MRI. Posterior fossa and foramen magnum decompression remains the first surgical procedure for the surgical management of CM as shunt techniques are often associated with increased risk of iatrogenic cord trauma.(7–9) However, duraplasty when done during posterior fossa decompression remains a matter of debate, and many previous studies have been conducted regarding posterior fossa and FM decompression with versus without duraplasty.(10) In order to identify the surgical outcome between posterior fossa and FM decompression with and without duraplasty in CM in adult patients, we retrospectively studied the clinical data of patients who had undergone operations from 2014 to 2018.Ī retrospective study of 28 patients who had undergone operations from 2014 to 2018, of posterior fossa and foramen magnum decompression alone or with duraplasty, and their records and radiographic data of MRI and CT were analyzed and compared. However, many different modalities have been proposed, approaches include FM decompression with or without duraplasty, syringostomy, obex plugging and syringo-subarachnoid shunting.(4,5) Many authors advocate that only FM decompression is sufficient, while others insist that duraplasty or additional methods as different types of shunts are mandatory.(6) In the current study we compare the clinical outcome of posterior fossa and FM decompression with versus without duraplasty in CM. There is no fixed protocol regarding the ideal surgical intervention for CM associated with SM. This group of patients present with SM or brainstem compression symptoms.(2,3) ![]() ![]() In about 90% of SM cases, there is association with CM, in which the success rate of surgical decompression varies widely from 40% to 85%. FM and posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty is superior to decompression only in CM associated with or without syringomyelia, however a higher complication rate when duraplasty is done.Ĭhiari malformation type 1 (CM) is known as the downward migration of the cerebellar tonsils and the medial part of the caudal cerebellar lobules through foramen magnum (FM) into the upper cervical canal leading to obstruction and disturbance of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) circulation at the level of FM, which result in syringomyelia (SM).(1) SM is defined as a widened cystic cavity in the spinal cord matter. The clinical improvement was significantly higher in duraplasty group (71.4%) when compared to the decompression group (42.8%, p<0.05). Decompression alone was done in 14 patients, and decompression with duraplasty was done also in 14 patients.

So start at point A and sew the sides together so that eventually both points B will be pulled together.Īs you can see from the picture above the cut line from C to D is not a straight line. Now to sew up your moccasin you always sew from inside out. OK now cut the leather moccasin away from your hide, but only cut the very outside lines. If your moccasin turns out perfect then save the cloth as a future pattern that will always make you a perfect fit moccasin. Now adjustments can be made if you think you need to trim or add leather to some part of the moccasin. Check to see if it appears to fit properly around your foot as described further down on how to sew up the moccasin. Cut it out from the pattern you have marked on the leather. Now that you have a pattern to cut out it is a good idea to get a piece of fabric that can be saved for future reference. Now to be clear!!! Even though you have drawn this pattern using both feet, it is a pattern for exactly ONE moccasin, not two. It is a bit hard to describe so look at the drawing and you will see the two boxes that have the letters B and C on them. Now draw two boxes, one for each side of the pattern on the outside of the foot. Now continue this line (from the outside of your foot) to draw a line that is almost straight down towards the edge of the hide but have the line slightly angled in towards the heels so that the distance between the where a straight down line would have hit is actually hitting the edge 1/2 inch (1.26cm) per to the inside. Mark this curve until your line reaches the middle of the balls of your feet of the big toe. IE your toes will be 1/2" from the edge of this curved line.

Now mark off a box that starts at the edge of the leather that is divided evenly by the center line. This will be the divider between each foot's moccasin.

There’s much more exploration along the way, like introducing the use of vehicles. Serious Sam 4 does definitely try its hardest to break away from that monotony, but then things get repetitive in other ways. Of course, there will be newer and more powerful weapons to give variety to your gameplay, along with funnily delivered dialogue. The formula of Serious Sam is basically in this order: encounter enemies, find a new weapon, fight new enemies, then a boss, and repeat. Enemy variety eventually starts to get stale. Things start to all blend in from the first level unto the last. You’re oftentimes traveling through derelict streets of a foreign country or ruins. One of the ongoing weaker aspects of Serious Sam is that the game gets rather repetitive after a while. “Hey, didn’t I kick your ass two rooms back?” The name of the game is to simply gear up with the most powerful weapons and mow down hordes of wacky enemies, delivering hilarious dialogue along the way. The intros are basically the game as Borderlands as well, with the freeze-framing and dramatic effects. It does work at times but feels like a very loose and uninspired version of something like Borderlands.Įvery character has their intro cutscenes and a tiny blurb to give us an idea of what role they play in the grand scheme of taking down Mental. This game has full-fledged cutscenes, dialogue, and NPCs to actually make the player care. The story is a nice addition to Serious Sam 4 because every other game before it only had minimal cutscenes. However, it seems like each new addition is a trade-off. This is where it’s at in terms of the quality of life additions and new features in Serious Sam 4. The skill trees even allow you to dual-wield guns, even the more ridiculous things like launchers and miniguns. You can choose to go for a melee build, though it is a rather risky one, or you can go for an all-out gunner build. They allow for some variety in your builds. The skill trees are a nice addition, though. Some guy who looks like an ‘80s action movie reject and throws one-liners at every opportune moment can somehow carry more than ten ordinance weapons on him without even breaking a sweat. To the aforementioned gusto, this is all still preserved. Since that’s the case, Sam brings more than just a pistol or shotgun. They come at you in droves, easily overwhelming you the moment you slip up. Like mentioned earlier, Serious Sam is pitted against hundreds of enemies that are part of Mental’s army. Of course, he does so while literally sporting a white t-shirt with the bomb logo on it, a casual pair of jeans, and some red Converse, making this game all much harder to take seriously. Sam’s a one-man army who has a kill count higher than any Call of Duty veteran out there. These one-liners and his other remarks oftentimes make references to other forms of media or pop culture in such a hit-or-miss- way that, even if the joke falls flat, it’s funny. Despite having the Serious nickname, Sam oftentimes cracks some cringeworthy, albeit hilarious one-liners. Serious Sam, despite the name of the game, isn’t one to actually be taken seriously- pun intended. In some cases, you’ll have enough firepower to take on literal gods! While coming at you in droves, you’ll have more than enough firepower to deal with the threats as they come. Sam is pitted against hordes and hordes of enemies of Mental’s army, consisting of wacky and wild anomalies that serve as nightmare fuel or feel like references to other absurd enemies from other video games. ![]() The premise sounds badass on paper, but it is much more whimsical and hilarious in ways that remind us of the old days. ![]() He bears the task of quelling the armies of Mental, a dark deity of sorts. You assume control of Sam “Serious” Stone, a man probably in his mid-30s, who is basically humanity’s last hope. Serious Sam 4 is a first-person shooter that has the heart and the gusto of what makes the franchise so great. This is definitely an extremely polarizing title, to say the least. The game is a beautifully unoptimized mess that is somehow fun, humorous, and in some cases, painful to bear. However, given the hours I sunk into the game, I now understand why there is no last-gen port. In a time where getting your hands on a new gaming console is as difficult as snagging the latest drop for a limited-run pair of sneakers, this will hurt the early sales of Serious Sam 4. ![]() Film director Louis Leterrier (The unbelievable Hulk, Now You See Me) is bringing the 10-episode show to life for Netflix.
