Clinico-radiological outcome of closed reduction and percutaneous fixation of proximal humerus fractures

Proximal humerus fracture is the commonest fracture affecting the shoulder girdle in adults and its incidence is rising. In displaced fractures, surgery is the treatment of choice in order to restore anatomical integrity, and allows early functional recovery. Several techniques were used over the years, each with specific indication. Closed reduction and percutaneous fixation reduces risk from soft-tissue dissection and may reduce the fracture indirectly, achieving provisional fixation for anatomic healing. Aim of study is to assess the clinic-radiological outcome of percutaneous pinning in proximal humerus fractures. A study group of 21 patients with Neer,s type 2 and 3 proximal humerus fracture were treated with closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation and clinico-radiological assessment was done and functional outcome was assessed by Constant-Murley score in various follow ups. 17 patients were available for assessment with minimum follow up of 1 year (Range 1 to 6 year). Patients had a mean age group of 35.5 years. All patients except two showed full range of movement, radiographic healing occurred in a mean time of 10 week and K-wire removal was done at a mean interval of 12 weeks. Mean Constant-Murley score was found to be 85%. Percutaneous fixation by k-wires after closed reduction is a reliable option for management of 2-or 3-part proximal humerus fractures which also avoids plate application.
Representation of Language Awareness in Jokowi’s Terms

The era of information and communication technology has many challenges faced by many people, including the language awareness of Indonesian users. Lack of awareness of respecting the language of the nation itself is a big problem. It should be noted, the use of the Indonesian language now does not govern the rules of Indonesian. It is an indicator that the Indonesian has experienced a decline in language awareness. This can be seen in a variety of language opportunities, for example at the speech. Speech should be delivered with the use of good and correct language. Therefore, awareness of the Indonesian language becomes a serious topic of interest by the language users and especially government officials to provide understanding and model. The government officials have a responsibility to provide Indonesian language awareness for the community. This awareness indicates that individuals should have positive attitudes and behaviors deals with the use of language correctly. Keywords—Jokowi’s terms, language awareness
Lower endometrial receptivity in HIV-infected women receiving oocyte donation: a comorbidity of HIV infection?

Abstract STUDY QUESTION Are the reproductive outcomes of HIV-infected donor oocyte recipient women comparable to those of non-infected women? SUMMARY ANSWER HIV-infected women have lower clinical pregnancy and live birth rates than non-infected women. WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN The literature on the effect of HIV infection on reproductive outcome is scarce at best; the only report to date comparing oocyte donation cycles in HIV-infected women versus non-infected controls found no differences in pregnancy rates between the two groups. However, this study was performed nearly a decade ago and did not evaluate the effect of immuno-virological characteristics of oocyte recipients or the HIV antiretroviral therapy effect. STUDY DESIGN SIZE, AND DURATION This is a matched-cohort study including 514 oocyte donation cycles, 257 from HIV-infected women and 257 non-infected controls, performed between April 2004 and November 2014. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, AND METHOD Each cycle of an HIV-infected woman (n = 257) was matched with a cycle of a non-infected woman (1:1). Biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy and live birth in the two groups were compared using a multivariate logistic regression analysis. The effect of antiretroviral treatment options on pregnancy outcomes of HIV-infected women was analyzed using a logistic regression model adjusted for time elapsed from diagnosis, and CD4 levels and viral load prior to embryo transfer. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Cycles of HIV-infected patients receiving oocyte donation presented lower pregnancy and live birth rates than matched non-infected controls. Treatment options and infection parameters analyzed do not seem to affect the reproductive results in HIV-infected women. The variable most influencing pregnancy outcomes was the number of transferred embryos; lower pregnancy rates were obtained after single embryo transfer. LIMITATIONS REASONS FOR CAUTION Patients with HIV infection have specific health issues, such as infection/treatment side effects, which makes it impossible to find a matching control group of non-infected patients for these variables. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS HIV-infected women receiving donated oocytes present lower pregnancy rates when compared to non-infected controls, regardless of the antiretroviral treatment followed. The complexity of the treatments (both in medication types and combinations) makes it difficult to define whether any one treatment option is better than the others in terms of pregnancy outcomes in oocyte recipients.

HER2/neu immunohistochemical expression in gastric carcinoma

Background: Gastric carcinoma is a deadly disease with high mortality. A better understanding of the molecular basis of gastric cancer has contributed to the development of rationally designed molecular targeted therapies which will improve the survival rate. A genetic alteration that could help in targeted therapy and prognostication includes Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2/neu) overexpression in gastric carcinoma. The objective of the present study was to identify and evaluate the HER2/neu protein immunohistochemical expression in gastric cancer from biopsies and surgical resection specimens and to evaluate their correlation with histopathological features. Methods: Total/subtotal gastrectomy specimens and gastric biopsies from a tertiary care center in South India were included in the study and assessed by light microscopy and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results: HER2/neu overexpression was seen in 28.6% of gastric adenocarcinoma. HER2/neu overexpression was seen in 44.2% of intestinal-type and 20% of mixed type with none of the diffuse type exhibited HER2/neu positivity and this was statistically highly significant with p value of <0.01. HER2/neu positivity was found in 50% welldifferentiated and 36.4% moderately differentiated tumors with none of the poorly differentiated tumors exhibiting HER2/neu positivity and this was statistically highly significant with p value of <0.01. Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of the identification of HER2/neu overexpression in gastric adenocarcinoma. This will help in prognostication and identifying patients suitable for novel therapeutic interventions which will help in prolongation of survival of patients with this deadly disease.

Cyclic utilisation of waste tires as nanostructured anode materials for Li-ion batteries

ABSTRACT The cyclic utilization of waste tires has been a major problem that plagued the industry. In this paper, we explore a novel method of resource integration and application to solve this problem by using waste tires as the electrode materials. The waste tires were carbonized and coated with sucrose to prepare nano sulfur-carbon (NSC) and carbon-coated nano sulfur-carbon (NSC/C) materials. The results of the microstructures and morphologies showed that the NSC was composed of hexagonal ZnS nanoparticles and amorphous carbon. Electrochemical tests showed that the uncoated NSC composite had a high capacity of 426.6 mAh g-1, but it also presented a low initial efficiency with poor rate and cycling performance. After coating, the NSC/C exhibited an acceptable specific capacity of 374 mAh g-1 with lower capacity fading and superior cycling performance than NSC. Materials obtained from carbonized waste tires have great potential for use as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries.
The impact of the 2013 rule changes on gripping configuration in high-level judo athletes

Purpose: International Judo Federation introduced a set of new rules in a short time period (2009 − 2013). The aim of this research is to determine how the rule modification influences the gripping configurations used by elite male judo athletes. Methods: The sample contained 280 combats from the 2011 and 2014 World Championships. All the effective and ineffective throw attempts with related gripping configurations were registered. The Chi-square test was used to determine the difference between frequencies, along with Z-test for calculating the partial difference. Results: A total of 1707 actions and gripping configurations were registered. The Chi-square test showed that there is a significant difference in the usage of gripping configurations between the two championships (χ2=32,8; sig<0,001). The Z-test showed a significant increase in the usage of kenka-yotsu and ai-yotsu, and a significant decrease in the usage of central grip, cross grip and situations where only tori has established a grip. The difference in the usage of the same side grip was not detected. Conclusion: The recommendation for coaches is to reduce the use of all other gripping configurations except kenka-yotsu and ai-yotsu when practicing techniques, especially unorthodox gripping like the cross grip and the same side grip.
Moving beyond enhancing pedagogies with digital technologies: Frames of reference, habits of mind and transformative learning

Abstract Digital technologies are a part of schooling, however, given the significant focus on using of digital technologies in teaching and learning, there is little evidence of wide scale transformation. It is within this context that this paper reports on a qualitative, explanatory case study of six teachers, with experience in enhancing pedagogies in a well-established ubiquitous technologies environment, consciously seeking to transform their practice to enact personalized digital learning. The findings indicate three interacting factors contributed to the degrees of transformation: teachers’ frames of reference (beliefs and attitudes), habits of mind (prior experience), and modes of transformative learning. This paper highlights how diversification of classroom roles, relationships and actions created challenges for teachers with experience integrating digital technologies in teaching and learning.
The Effect of Self–Awareness on the Identification of Goal–Related Obstacles

When individuals strive towards personal goals, they may encounter obstacles that could compromise their goal progress and pose a challenge to self–regulation. Coping with obstacles first requires those obstacles to be identified. The purpose of the present studies was to apply an inter–individual approach to this important, but insufficiently studied self–regulatory aspect of goal striving. We therefore examined the role of self–awareness, that is, paying attention to one's own feelings, thoughts, and behaviours, for the identification of goal–related obstacles. We measured and manipulated self–awareness in two correlational and two experimental studies (one of them preregistered) and asked participants to identify obstacles to their goals. All studies confirmed the hypothesis that individuals with higher levels of dispositional and situational self–awareness identify more obstacles, both with regard to their idiosyncratic personal goals (Studies 1 and 2) and with regard to a goal in an assigned task during an experiment (Studies 3 and 4). The results indicate that self–awareness plays a crucial role for identifying obstacles. We discuss the implications of our findings for personality and self–regulation research.
Origin of the long-ranged attraction or repulsion between intruders in a confined granular medium

Zuriguel et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 95, 2005a, 258002) and Pacheco-Vázquez and Ruiz-Suárez (Nat. Commun., vol. 1, 2010, p. 123) demonstrated that there exists a long-ranged force between intruders placed at a certain distance from each other in granular flow. The origin of these long-ranged forces, induced collectively by the grains, has not been fully understood. In our work, we provide a unified explanation for the origin of both attraction and repulsion between two intruders in terms of the building up of force chains and their subsequent buckling. The surface and shear zone of the other intruder makes a significant contribution to the strength or buckling of the force chains. Bernoulli’s effect used in earlier studies predicts the nature of these forces, viz., attraction or repulsion, correctly but is not well supported as observed in our study. The time-averaged flow fields around the intruders also support our explanation for the origin as evidenced by the burst in kinetic energy and granular temperature. The model proposed in this work predicts the qualitative trend of the sideways force with the separation between the intruders by combining Bernoulli’s equation with a minimum contact criterion of force chains. There exists an equilibrium at which the intruders neither attract nor repel each other and a certain separation distance where maximum attraction occurs between the two intruders. The effects of the static pressure, the velocity of the moving intruders and the friction coefficient on the attraction or repulsion force between the intruders have also been explored in our system.
A Fast Beam Alignment Scheme for Dual-Band HSR Wireless Networks

To satisfy the ever increasing capacity requirements resulting from the rapid developments of the railway industry, future 5G based high-speed railway (HSR) wireless networks begin to consider using millimeter wave (mmWave) bands to expand the frequency spectrum together with the beamforming technology to guarantee the radiation range. Nevertheless, due to the high time consumption of beam alignments and the high mobility of trains, significant angle offsets will be induced during the initial access (IA) processes, which may completely invalidate the final determined beam pair. To solve this problem, in this paper we take advantage of the periodicity and regularity of trains’ trajectory and propose a fast IA scheme, in which the beam training set is reduced by learning from historical beam training results and further adjusted during the IA process to compensate the angle offsets due to movements of trains. To guarantee the whole network robustness, in this study a dual-band HSR network by integrating both legacy sub-6 GHz bands and mmWave bands is considered, under which the standby omnidirectional sub-6 GHz link can help facilitate the IA process of the mmWave communication part. Theoretical and numerical results have shown that the proposed scheme can enhance the IA success probability and reduce the IA time consumption.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Interventions in Incarcerated Populations: A Meta-Analysis

A growing body of research supports the use of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in incarcerated populations; however, treatment effectiveness remains unclear. This meta-analysis of 22 studies (N = 2,265, 75% male) quantified the effectiveness of MBIs in incarcerated populations on key psychological outcomes and criminogenic needs. Results from pre–post studies indicated MBIs had a small to moderate effect on all outcomes, but this was not supported by controlled studies. Studies with older participants, more females, and longer treatment length demonstrated slightly greater effects. Results from pre–post analyses demonstrated significant reductions in psychological outcomes (depression, anxiety, and stress) and criminogenic needs (impulsivity, self-dysregulation, anger, substance use behavior, and attitude). However, only depression and anxiety were significantly reduced in controlled studies. Although findings offer preliminary support of the efficacy of MBIs in targeting psychological health in incarcerated populations, further controlled studies are required to examine criminogenic outcomes and recidivism rates after treatment.
Relationships between Leaf Anatomy and Physiological Functioning of Southern US Oak Species Differing in Flood Tolerance

Research Highlights: Bottomland oaks receive less attention than upland species, however their adaptations to flooding and summer water stress will extend our understanding of the oak genus and links between physiology and leaf anatomy. Background and objectives: Determining links between leaf anatomy and physiology can aid in parameterizing dynamic global vegetation models for oak systems, therefore we sought to (1) compare leaf anatomic, nutrient, and physiological parameters for bottomland oaks differing in flood tolerance, (2) determine correlations across parameters and determine which anatomic and nutrient parameters best predict photosynthetic capacity metrics, and (3) compare these data with reported literature values for oaks across the globe. Materials and Methods: We measured CO2 response curves (A/Ci) on leaves from Nuttall, Shumard, swamp chestnut, water and white oak seedlings planted in the Southeastern United States (US) and estimated stomatal size and density, epidermal cell size, vein density, leaf mass per area (LMA) and nitrogen (N) concentrations. Principal component analysis among these leaf anatomic and nutrient parameters was used to determine the best predictors of photosynthetic parameters including Rubisco-limited carboxylation rate (VCmax) and electron transport limited carboxylation rate (Jmax). Results: We found that although physiological parameters were similar, flood-tolerant oaks had lower leaf N concentrations and larger, more infrequent stomata than less flood-tolerant species. Leaf epidermal properties were correlated with N concentrations and a principal component capturing this correlation as well as principal components correlated with mesophyll conductance and leaf carbon concentrations were found to best explain variation in VCmax and Jmax. These Southeastern US oaks exhibited similar leaf physiological parameters and LMA as oaks reported in the literature but differed in leaf epidermal and stomatal properties as well as leaf N concentrations increasing the reported range of these parameters within the oak genus. Conclusions: Therefore, leaf anatomy and nutrient parameters as opposed to physiology differed across flood tolerance and between bottomland oaks and broader literature values.
Implementation of Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis (SUP) in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

Background: Critically ill patients are at high risk for developing stress ulcer bleeding, which may increase the length of hospitalization and mortality rate. Stress ulcer prophylaxis could be done either with PPIs or with H2 receptor blockers, which were prescribed in critically ill patients. Aim: This cross-sectional study was accomplished in an intensive care unit to implement new stress ulcer prophylaxis. Methods: This study was conducted in a tertiary hospital of Kermanshah province, west of Iran. Patients who were hospitalized for at least 72 hours and received SUP prophylaxis, were included in our study. Updated ASHP guideline was used for calculating SUP risk score. Patients received either PPIs or H2RA (intravenously or enteral). Efficacy and safety of early changes to enteral route were evaluated in one year and cost was calculated in three years’ period. Results: This study was conducted on 150 patients with a mean age of 58 ± 18 years old. More than half of patients (53.3%) were male. Stress ulcer prophylaxis was prescribed for all critically ill patients, regardless of the risk of GI bleeding while only 76.6% of patients had an appropriate Original Research Article Shahbazi et al.; JPRI, 31(6): 1-7, 2019; Article no.JPRI. 52271 2 indication for receiving SUP protocol. Six patients in the PPIs group (4 in intravenous and 2 in enteral) experienced gastrointestinal bleeding. Changing the route of administration from intravenous to intravenous over a three-year period resulted in a decrease in the mean use of pentoprazole vials from 12 to 4 per patient. Conclusion: Early changing (within 72 hours) SUP from IV to enteral is safe and cost-saving
Design, control and comparative analysis of an LCLC coupling hybrid active power filter

This study provides the design, control and comparative analysis of the proposed LCLC coupling hybrid active power filter (LCLC-HAPF). Compared with the conventional L filter coupling active power filters (APFs), LC filter and LCL filter coupling HAPFs (LC-HAPFs and LCL-HAPFs), the proposed LCLC-HAPF provides better switching frequency harmonics elimination, lower dc-link voltage rating and switching loss. Although the LCLC-HAPF has some advantages, two main challenges will still be confronted in practical implementations. Those are stability problems caused by resonance of LCLC filter, and parameter design for the LCLC filter. In this study, a new active damping method is proposed to overcome the high order resonance problem existing in the proposed LCLC-HAPF. After that, the stability analysis and parameter design are given for the proposed LCLC-HAPF. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed LCLC-HAPF topology is validated through both simulation and experimental studies in comparison with the conventional APFs and HAPFs.
ACETABULAR DYSPLASIA: The Acetabular Angle

A simple method of measuring the degree of acetabular development in the radiograph of the adult pelvis is described and arguments for its validity are advanced. This measurement is referred to as the acetabular angle. The normal values for this angle are between 33 and 38 degrees. Angles below 32 degrees are uncommon and probably of no clinical significance, whereas angles from 39 to 42 degrees are in the upper limit of normality. An angle of 47 degrees is shown in a hip with congenital subluxation. The prognosis for hip joints with acetabular angles between 42 and 47 degrees is under investigation.
