Tibial bone fractures occurring after medioproximal tibial bone grafts for oral and maxillofacial reconstruction

Objectives Oral and maxillofacial defects often require bone grafts to restore missing tissues. Well-recognized donor sites include the anterior and posterior iliac crest, rib, and intercalvarial diploic bone. The proximal tibia has also been explored as an alternative donor site. The use of the tibia for bone graft has many benefits, such as procedural ease, adequate volume of cancellous and cortical bone, and minimal complications. Although patients rarely complain of pain, swelling, discomfort, or dysfunction, such as gait disturbance, both patients and surgeons should pay close attention to such after effects due to the possibility of tibial fracture. The purpose of this study is to analyze tibial fractures that occurring after osteotomy for a medioproximal tibial graft. Materials and Methods An analysis was intended for patients who underwent medioproximal tibial graft between March 2004 and December 2011 in Inha University Hospital. A total of 105 subjects, 30 females and 75 males, ranged in age from 17 to 78 years. We investigated the age, weight, circumstance, and graft timing in relation to tibial fracture. Results Tibial fractures occurred in four of 105 patients. There were no significant differences in graft region, shape, or scale between the fractured and non-fractured patients. Conclusion Patients who undergo tibial grafts must be careful of excessive external force after the operation.
Institutional deviance in TV news: BBC, ITV and the Mid Staffordshire hospital scandal

This article is an empirical study of how institutional scandal is covered in TV news, using the BBC and ITV coverage of the Mid Staffordshire hospital scandal as a case study. It draws on sociology of deviance as well as Greer and McLaughlin’s model of institutional scandal and the different phases they go through. As such, the study examines how the coverage of the Mid Staffordshire hospital scandal moved through activations, reactions, amplification and accountability phases, although the progression was messy and complex. The study examines both verbal and visual elements of how TV news engaged in emotional accounts of suffering and attacks on figures of authority and public institutions. The article argues that institutional scandal and the media coverage of the NHS reflect both the politically disputed status of the NHS as well as a neoliberal drive to undermine public institutions.
First quality score for referral letters in gastroenterology—a validation study

Objective To create and validate an objective and reliable score to assess referral quality in gastroenterology. Design An observational multicentre study. Setting and participants 25 gastroenterologists participated in selecting variables for a Thirty Point Score (TPS) for quality assessment of referrals to gastroenterology specialist healthcare for 9 common indications. From May to September 2014, 7 hospitals from the South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority participated in collecting and scoring 327 referrals to a gastroenterologist. Main outcome measure Correlation between the TPS and a visual analogue scale (VAS) for referral quality. Results The 327 referrals had an average TPS of 13.2 (range 1–25) and an average VAS of 4.7 (range 0.2–9.5). The reliability of the score was excellent, with an intra-rater intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.87 and inter-rater ICC of 0.91. The overall correlation between the TPS and the VAS was moderate (r=0.42), and ranged from fair to substantial for the various indications. Mean agreement was good (ICC=0.47, 95% CI (0.34 to 0.57)), ranging from poor to good. Conclusions The TPS is reliable, objective and shows good agreement with the subjective VAS. The score may be a useful tool for assessing referral quality in gastroenterology, particularly important when evaluating the effect of interventions to improve referral quality.
Effect of oxythiamin on growth rate, survival ability and pyruvate decarboxylase activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Oxythiamin is one of the antivitamin derivatives of thiamin which, after phosphorylation, can be bound to the catalytic centre of thiamin‐dependent enzymes and inhibit these enzymes. In this work the influence of oxythiamin on the growth rate, survival and the activity of pyruvate decarboxylase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (s288c) was investigated. Oxythiamin decreased both the growth rate and survival ability of yeast cells. Moreover, in three‐day‐old cultures on a medium with oxythiamin, an increase of pyruvate decarboxylase activity was observed. This unusual effect may be in response to the earlier inhibition of pyruvate decarboxylase. A high concentration of pyruvate in the cell extracts taken from the medium with oxythiamin was found. This accumulation of pyruvate could provide for enhanced biosynthesis of the pyruvate decarboxylase apoform and an increase of enzyme activity.
Synthesis of Hyperbranched Poly(ε-caprolactone) Containing Terminal Azobenzene Structure via Combined Ring-Opening Polymerization and “Click” Chemistry

A novel well-defined linear poly(e-caprolactone) (P1) containing terminal azobenzene and ethyne groups was successfully synthesized through tin-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone in the presence of N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-(3-ethynylphenylazo)aniline (BHA) in bulk. Subsequent reactions allowed the synthesis of the corresponding bromoester end-functionalized polymer (P2), which was converted into AB2 type polymer (P3) containing terminal azide groups with NaN3. Consequently, hyperbranched poly(e-caprolactone) (HPCL) was prepared with AB2 macromonomer (P3) by “click” chemistry under the catalysis of CuSO4·5H2O/sodium ascorbate/H2O. The structure of the resultant HPCL was characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Thermal and crystallization properties of P1 and HPCL were further studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and polarised optical microscopy (POM). These results indicated that the crystallinity of HPCL was slightly lower than that of P1 due to the hyperbranched structure of HPCL. Additionally, the photo-induced trans-cis isomerization behaviors of BHA, P1 and HPCL containing terminal azobenzene were investigated in chloroform solution, and the photoisomerization rate constant (kexp) of small molecule (BHA) was nearly three times faster than that of polymers P1 and HPCL, which was due to the sterically hindering effect of the polymer-chain configuration.
Marijuana, the Endocannabinoid System and the Female Reproductive System

Marijuana use among women is highly prevalent, but the societal conversation on marijuana rarely focuses on how marijuana affects female reproduction and endocrinology. This article reviews the current scientific literature regarding marijuana use and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis regulation, ovarian hormone production, the menstrual cycle, and fertility. Evidence suggests that marijuana can reduce female fertility by disrupting hypothalamic release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), leading to reduced estrogen and progesterone production and anovulatory menstrual cycles. Tolerance to these effects has been shown in rhesus monkeys, but the effects of chronic marijuana use on human female reproduction are largely unknown. Marijuana-induced analgesia, drug reinforcement properties, tolerance, and dependence are influenced by ovarian hormones, with estrogen generally increasing and progesterone decreasing sensitivity to marijuana. Carefully controlled regulation of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is required for successful reproduction, and the exogenous cannabinoids in marijuana may disrupt the delicate balance of the ECS in the female reproductive system.
IN-PATIENT SATISFACTION WITH NURSING CARE: A CASE STUDY AT KWAME NKRUMAH UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY HOSPITAL

Patient satisfaction is an indispensable aspect of quality nursing care in any health setup today. Care assessed to be of high quality according to clinical, economic or other provider-defined criteria is not ideal if the patient feels dissatisfied. There is a rationale to make the organization and delivery of health care more responsive to consumer opinion. The study sought to determine inpatient satisfaction with nursing care at the university hospital, KumasiGhana. Questionnaires were administered to 100 in-patients selected by convenience sampling in the male, female and maternity wards. The results revealed that 38% of male participants were very satisfied with nursing care compared to 30% of female participants. Inadvertently, patients with high formal education were no less satisfied with nursing care than their counterparts with low or no formal education. Age was an important predictor of patient satisfaction of nursing care as 37% of patients below forty years were less satisfied compared to 46% of those above forty. Dignity, love, safe delivery and care were the expectations of most clients. There is a greater need to improve interpersonal relationship of nurses with their patients.
Studying the Chlorophyll Fluorescence in Cyanobacteria with Membrane Computing Techniques

In this paper, we report a pioneer study of the decrease in chlorophyll fluo-rescence produced by the reduction of MTT (a dimethyl thiazolyl diphenyl tetrazolium salt) monitored using an epifluorescence microscope coupled to automate image analysis in the framework of P systems. Such analysis has been performed by a family of tissue P systems working on the images as data input.
Aspects of holography and rotating AdS black holes

A comparison is made between the thermodynamics of weakly and strongly coupled Yang-Mills with fixed angular momentum. The free energy of the strongly coupled Yang-Mills is calculated by using a dual supergravity description corresponding to a rotating black hole in an Anti de Sitter (AdS) background. All thermodynamic quantities are shown have the same ratio of 3/4 (independent of angular momentum) between strong and weak coupling.
GABA Signaling Promotes Synapse Elimination and Axon Pruning in Developing Cortical Inhibitory Interneurons

Accumulating evidence indicates that GABA acts beyond inhibitory synaptic transmission and regulates the development of inhibitory synapses in the vertebrate brain, but the underlying cellular mechanism is not well understood. We have combined live imaging of cortical GABAergic axons across time scales from minutes to days with single-cell genetic manipulation of GABA release to examine its role in distinct steps of inhibitory synapse formation in the mouse neocortex. We have shown previously, by genetic knockdown of GABA synthesis in developing interneurons, that GABA signaling promotes the maturation of inhibitory synapses and axons. Here we found that a complete blockade of GABA release in basket interneurons resulted in an opposite effect, a cell-autonomous increase in axon and bouton density with apparently normal synapse structures. These results not only demonstrate that GABA is unnecessary for synapse formation per se but also uncover a novel facet of GABA in regulating synapse elimination and axon pruning. Live imaging revealed that developing GABAergic axons form a large number of transient boutons, but only a subset was stabilized. Release blockade led to significantly increased bouton stability and filopodia density, increased axon branch extension, and decreased branch retraction. Our results suggest that a major component of GABA function in synapse development is transmission-mediated elimination of subsets of nascent contacts. Therefore, GABA may regulate activity-dependent inhibitory synapse formation by coordinately eliminating certain nascent contacts while promoting the maturation of other nascent synapses.
Cosmology with a dynamically screened scalar interaction in the dark sector

Motivated in part by string theory, we consider a modification of the {lambda}CDM cosmological model in which the dark matter has a long-range scalar force screened by light particles. Scalar forces can have interesting effects on structure formation: the main example presented here is the expulsion of dark matter halos from low density regions, or voids, in the galaxy distribution.
Riesgo de demencia y niveles de educación: Cuando aprender es más saludable de lo que pensamos

Title: Risk of dementia and education levels: When to learn is healthier of that than we think. Abstract: The present investigation has as objective to know the percent- ages of adults that manifest certain predisposition to suffer dementia frontotemporal (FTD) or Alzheimer's disease (AD) for the value obtained in the coefficient VLOM (initials in English of the subtests of verbal fluency + language / orientation + remember differed) and if these values can vary in gender function, age and level of education. We leave of defin- ing what we consider as knowledge and training cognitive, subsequently we meditate about the concepts of reservation cognitive and plasticity neuronal, to show the discoveries in the field study through the instru- ment ACE (Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination) of Maturanath et al., (2000) in an adapted version. We work with 649 adult subjects of the city of Rio Cuarto and region, Cordoba, Argentina. We carry out analysis squared Chi, differences of means and Anova to know if differences exist in the performance in the instrument for groups. The results manifest that significant differences don't appear for gender, but if certain tendencies is evidenced by age and level of education.
Optimization Models and Algorithms for the Design of Global Transportation Networks

Le developpement de structures de reseau efficaces pour le transport de marchandises est fondamental sur le marche mondial actuel. Les demandes doivent etre traitees rapidement, repondre aux besoins des clients dans les meilleurs delais, les congestions et les retards doivent etre minimises, les emissions de CO2 doivent etre controles et des couts de transport moins eleves doivent etre proposes aux clients. La structure hub-and-spoke est un modele de reseau courant utilise a la fois dans le transport regional comme dans le transport intercontinental, permettant une economie d'echelle grâce aux consolidations operees au niveau des noeuds hub. Mais, les retards, les congestions et les longs delais de livraison sont des inconvenients de ce type de reseau. Dans cette these, un nouveau concept, "sub-hub", est ajoute a la structure du reseau classique hub-and-spoke. Dans les modeles de reseau proposes, une economie d'echelle et des chemins alternatifs plus courts sont mis en oeuvre, en minimisant ainsi le cout de transport et le delai de livraison. Le sub-hub est vu comme un point de connexion entre deux routes distinctes de regions voisines. Des transbordements sans passer par les noeuds hub sont possibles au niveau des sub-hubs. Des congestions peuvent ainsi etre evitees et, par consequent, les retards associes sont ainsi minimises. Quatre modeles de programmation lineaire en nombres entiers binaires du probleme de la localisation de hubs et de routage sont developpes dans cette these. Des reseaux avec sub-hub et des reseaux sans sub-hub prenant en compte des routes circulaires entre hubs ou des connexions directes entre hubs sont ainsi comparees. Ces modeles sont composes de quatre sous-problemes (localisation, allocation, conception de service et routage) qui rendent complexe la recherche de solutions. Une approche cutting plane est testee pour resoudre de petites instances de probleme tandis qu'une recherche a voisinage variable avec decomposition (VNDS) composee de methodes exactes (matheuristic) a ete developpee pour resoudre de grandes instances. Le VNDS mis en oeuvre, explore chaque sous-probleme avec differents operateurs. Des gains importants dans la fonction objective sont observes par les modeles avec sub-hub confirmant ainsi le developpement de reseaux plus competitifs.
Cognitive psychology and tourism research: state of the art

Purpose This review aims to discuss concepts and theories from cognitive psychology, identifies tourism studies applying them and discusses key areas for future research. The paper aims to demonstrate the usefulness of cognitive psychology for understanding why tourists and particularly pleasure travellers demonstrate the behaviour they exhibit. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews 165 papers from the cognitive psychology and literature regarding pleasure travel related to consciousness, mindfulness, flow, retrospection, prospection, attention, schema and memory, feelings and emotions. The papers are chosen to demonstrate the state of the art of the literature and provide guidance on how these concepts are vital for further research. Findings The paper demonstrates that research has favoured a behaviourist rather than cognitive approach to the study of hedonic travel. Cognitive psychology can help to understand the mental processes connecting perception of stimuli with behaviour. Numerous examples are provided: top-down and bottom-up attention processes help to understand advertising effectiveness, theories of consciousness and memory processes help to distinguish between lived and recalled experience, cognitive appraisal theory predicts the emotion elicited based on a small number of appraisal dimensions such as surprise and goals, knowledge of the mental organisation of autobiographical memory and schema support understanding of destination image formation and change and the effect of storytelling on decision-making, reconstructive bias in prospection or retrospection about a holiday inform the study of pleasurable experience. These findings indicate need for further cognitive psychology research in tourism generally and studies of holiday travel experiences. Research limitations/implications This review is limited to cognitive psychology and excludes psychoanalytic studies. Practical implications Cognitive psychology provides insight into key areas of practical importance. In general, the use of a cognitive approach allows further understanding of leisure tourists’ behaviour. The concept of attention is vital to understand destination advertising effectiveness, biases in memory process help to understand visitor satisfaction and experience design and so on. Use of cognitive psychology theory will lead to better practical outcomes for tourists seeking pleasurable experiences and destination managers. Originality value This is the first review that examines the application of concepts from cognitive psychology to the study of leisure tourism in particular. The concepts studied are also applicable to study of travellers generally.
Operator precedence for data-dependent grammars

Constructing parsers based on declarative specification of operator precedence is a very old research topic, and there are various existing approaches. However, these approaches are either tied to a particular parsing technique, or cannot deal with all corner cases found in programming languages. In this paper we present an implementation of declarative specification of operator precedence for general parsing that (1) is independent of the underlying parsing algorithm, (2) does not require any grammar transformation that increases the size of the grammar, (3) preserves the shape of parse trees of the original, natural grammar, and (4) can deal with intricate cases of operator precedence found in functional programming languages such as OCaml. Our new approach to operator precedence is formulated using data-dependent grammars, which extend context-free grammars with arbitrary computation, variable binding and constraints. We implemented our approach using Iguana, a data-dependent parsing framework, and evaluated it by parsing Java and OCaml source files. The results show that our approach is practical for parsing programming languages with complicated operator precedence rules.

Learning to detect loop closure from range data

Despite significant developments in the Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) problem, loop closure detection is still challenging in large scale unstructured environments. Current solutions rely on heuristics that lack generalisation properties, in particular when range sensors are the only source of information about the robot's surrounding environment. This paper presents a machine learning approach for the loop closure detection problem using range sensors. A binary classifier based on boosting is used to detect loop closures. The algorithm performs robustly, even under potential occlusions and significant changes in rotation and translation. We developed a number of features, extracted from range data, that are invariant to rotation. Additionally, we present a general framework for scan-matching SLAM in outdoor environments. Experimental results in large scale urban environments show the robustness of the approach, with a detection rate of 85% and a false alarm rate of only 1%. The proposed algorithm can be computed in real-time and achieves competitive performance with no manual specification of thresholds given the features.
Graph-Based Kinship Recognition

Image-based kinship recognition is an important problem in the reconstruction and analysis of social networks. Prior studies on image-based kinship recognition have focused solely on pair wise kinship verification, i.e. on the question of whether or not two people are kin. Such approaches fail to exploit the fact that many real-world photographs contain several family members, for instance, the probability of two people being brothers increases when both people are recognized to have the same father. In this work, we propose a graph-based approach that incorporates facial similarities between all family members in a photograph in order to improve the performance of kinship recognition. In addition, we introduce a database of group photographs with kinship annotations.
