This study aimed to analyze the inquiries on research and publication ethics submitted to the Committee for Publication Ethics of the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors. A total of 80 inquiries were initiated over the course of 3 years, from April 2017 to March 2020. Based on a categorization of these inquiries, four common topics are discussed in detail. We present specific cases derived from actual situations, and the steps taken in processing these inquiries. The number of inquiries by topic was as follows: duplicate publications (12), secondary publications (11), authorship disputes (11), informed consent (6), proceedings (5), copyright (5), institutional review board approval (5), plagiarism (4), corrections (4), and others (17). Cases of duplicate publication and authorship disputes can be treated according to the flow chart of the Committee on Publication Ethics of the United Kingdom. Secondary publications may be permitted if the readers or audiences are different and both journals’ editors grant permission. Editors should be cautious about publishing cases without informed consent, even in the absence of identifiable photos, because patients or their families may be able to identify the cases. An adequate awareness of ethical considerations relevant to publication can help reduce the number of instances of research and publication ethics misconduct.

Abstract The 2% to 4% annual rupture rate for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) must be weighed against the risk of intervention during surgery within an eloquent brain region. Following a hemorrhage event, AVMs that were initially considered to be nonoperative or unfavorable for surgical resection can be intervened on to avoid the significantly elevated risk of rehemorrhage. This patient had a dominant temporal lobe Spetzler–Martin grade 4 AVM with deep venous drainage, representing a significant surgical challenge. The arachnoid plane microdissection was performed using microscissors but was tenuous, and it was necessary to define the draining vein and adjacent feeding arteries. This video demonstrates the major principles of AVM resection during the circumdissection and disconnection of the nidus. The postoperative angiography demonstrated complete resection. The patient gave informed consent for surgery and video recording. Institutional review board approval was deemed unnecessary.

Spinal Gliomas

Abstract Spinal ependymomas compose approximately 60% of spinal gliomas, the predominance occurring within adults. These tumors are generally benign, and maximal surgical resection with neurological preservation is the surgical goal. This patient had a large upper cervical ependymoma, which was approached through a cervical laminotomy. The surgical resection of this lesion demonstrates the principles of pial venous plexus preservation during posterior midline raphe identification and dissection. Gross total surgical resection was achieved with the preservation of the patient's baseline neurological function. The patient gave informed consent for surgery and video recording. Institutional review board approval was deemed unnecessary. Used with permission from Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Arizona.

Abstract The high versatility and efficacy of the contralateral interhemispheric approach is demonstrated in this resection of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). This patient had a large AVM along the medial frontal lobe amenable to approach via the contralateral interhemispheric approach. The head was rotated to permit gravity retraction of the ipsilateral hemisphere to the AVM, avoiding the use of rigid retractors. Under the guidance of neuronavigation, the falx was opened to permit visualization of the AVM. Circumdissection with a disconnection of the nidus was performed in a standard fashion. Postoperative angiography confirmed complete removal of the AVM. The patient gave informed consent for surgery and video recording. Institutional review board approval was deemed unnecessary.

Falcine Meningioma

Abstract The contralateral interhemispheric approach is utilized to provide the surgeon with a favorable trajectory for approaching lesions projecting contralaterally from the midline falcine dura. The contralateral approach also requires a less rigid retraction than other approaches, which is paramount when manipulating the eloquent cortex of the paracentral lobule. This patient had a large laterally projecting falcine meningioma. This case demonstrates well the effect that gravity has on the tumor, pulling the tumor medially into the surgeon's view and making the surgical approach ideal for this lesion. The lesion was removed en bloc with the falcine dura, and postoperative imaging demonstrated a gross total resection. The patient gave informed consent for surgery and video recording. Institutional review board approval was deemed unnecessary. Used with permission from Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Arizona.

Extension Professionals

Getting IRB approval for your survey can seem like a daunting task to many people in academia and Extension. This new 4-page publication of the UF/IFAS Department of Agricultural Education and Communication discusses what the IRB is, when and how to get IRB approval for a survey, getting informed consent, and where to get help for Extension professionals wanting to perform research or publish findings from surveys they have completed. Written by Colleen E. Gariton and Glenn D. Israel.
