Published: January 2020

Femoral component fracture in total knee replacement (TKR) is a rare complication. In the majority of case
reports, stress fractures of the femoral component have predominantly affected the medial condyle,
following uncemented implantation of fixed-bearing knees. We report the case of fracture of the lateral
condyle of a cemented fixed TKR due to bad cementing technique.
Rett Syndrome: Search for Prognostic Factors
Authors: Riikonen Raili , Kokki Hannu , Vanhala Raija , Riikonen Raili
Published: January 2020

Rett (RTT) syndrome is primarily a disorder of synaptic plasticity. The maturation of neurons is blocked
resulting arrest of brain growth. Clinical signs of excitatory activity occur in early age but reduced in later
childhood. Correcting this imbalance may be reflected in molecular changes. Our aim was to find prognostic
factors using combination of clinical examination, neuroradiological and biochemical analysis of
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The evaluation of 15 children with RTT included careful clinical examination,
measurement of serum- and CSF-insulin-like growth factor-1 and -nerve growth factor, CSF-glutamate, -
adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and -acetyltransferase, genetic analysis, and single photon computed
tomography (SPECT) studies. Predictive data for poor outcome of six children were early onset of clinical
signs, early deceleration of head growth, and hypometabolism in SPECT images corresponding low CSFNGF found in patients with RTT. These signs correlated with severity of later gross motor signs (no gait).
Favorable outcomes were seen in nine children with late onset of the clinical symptoms and late deceleration
of head growth. Two of these patients had the highest CSF-acetylcholinesterase and mutation R294X, and
five had R306C mutation. ACTH/glutamate-ratio was significantly higher in the early onset-group
compared to the late onset-group. This might mean an attempt to restore the balance between excitatory and
inhibitory transmission. In conclusion, the clinical signs and hypo-perfusion in SPECT were the most
predictive outcome measures. Our findings might be valuable because they impact the understanding of
mechanisms of RTT and the potential to discovery of biological markers for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Impact of Collimator on DaT-SPECT Imaging: Monte Carlo Simulation Study
Authors: Takahashi Akihiko , Takahashi Akihiko , Himuro Kazuhiko , Funada Keita , Sasaki Masayuki , Baba Shingo
Published: January 2020

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of the collimator in viewing the dopamine
transporter, using 123I ioflupane single-photon emission computed tomography (DaT-SPECT) images
utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation.
Methods: For the purpose of this study, the Monte Carlo simulation of electrons and photons (MCEP)-
SPECT was used. A numerical phantom was created from a real basal ganglia phantom and installed within
the code. The specific binding ratios (SBRs) were 5.03 and 2.01 for the background concentration of 7.44
kBq/mL or 7.04 and 3.03 for a background concentration of 5.56 kBq/mL. The simulated images were
evaluated using a recovery coefficient (RC). Initially, we simulated the performance of 14 collimators
without resolution correction to investigate the impact of the collimator dimension. The effects of two
resolution correction methods (collimator broad correction (CBC) and three-dimensional frequency–
distance relationship (3D-FDR)) on two reconstruction methods (Ordered-Subsets Expectation
Maximization (OSEM) and Filtered back projection (FBP)) was assessed for collimators that demonstrated
a better RC value.
Results: Five low-energy high-resolution (LEHR) collimators and one medium-energy general-purpose
(MEGP) collimator demonstrated superior RC values. These collimators had a high aspect ratio (holelength/hole-diameter). The maximum RC value without resolution correction was 64.9% when the image
was reconstructed with OSEM. The RC value improved to 79.7% when the resolution correction of CBC
was applied. When the resolution collection was applied, the RCs improved by approximately 1.2 times
when compared against those without the resolution correction. In terms of the reconstruction method, the
RC obtained using OSEM was statistically insignificant when compared to the RC using FBP. The
difference in the RC value with collimators decreased according to resolution correction.
Conclusion: The LEHR collimator with a high aspect ratio, and the OSEM with spatial resolution correction
were confirmed to be appropriate for DaT-SPECT imaging. In terms of the reconstruction method, CBC
was more favourable than FDR.

Published: January 2020

We report a case ofsimultaneous liver transplantation and mitral valve replacement in a 53 years old woman
suffering for a severe HCV - related liver cirrhosis (CHILD C12, MELD 26), severe mitral stenosis and
chronic atrial fibrillation. Cardiac surgery was performed on cardiopulmonary bypass with full
heparinization and cardiac arrest and preceded liver transplantation. The patient was weaned on
postoperative day 2 from mechanical ventilation and on postoperative day 5 from hemodynamic support
and renal replacement therapy. She was transferred to the ward on POD 12. On POD 20 she was readmitted
to ICU for acute kidney failure, worsening graft function, sepsis and the suspicion of acute rejection. On
POD 56 after a long intensive treatment, the patient eventually died from an intracranial hemorrhage. This
complex combined surgery carries a high burden of morbidity and mortality but showed a good result in the
short term.

Published: January 2020

The nature of this study was qualitative and covers the children collecting the Garbage and Rag picking in Rawalpindi city. In the study, Afghan scavengers were selected for qualitative analyses. The family backgrounds of these scavengers and the demographic factors were also analyzed. Most of the qualitative methods including key informant interviews, visit and stay in the area, In-depth interview of 50 participants was applied to observe the phenomenon and collect the relevant information. The process of scavenging and the situation explored presented that besides poverty and economic pressure, the migration, independent nature of scavenging work, higher income as capered to other forms of child labor and increased urbanization were the major causes behind the phenomenon. The study also revealed that scavenging children face isolation due to their Afghan identity, higher health risks due to unprotected exposure to hazardous waste and routine violence from people. A comprehensive strategy is required for dealing with this issue in society.

Authors: Ahmad Manzoor , Rizwan Muhammad , Shah Zahir
Published: January 2020

The US presidential elections are over and to the astonishment of media, surveys and polls; Donald Trump won a stunning victory over his democratic rival Hillary by 289 electoral votes. The election results were surprising and may not be digested by many Americans for long time and especially for the Democrats. The stunning victory of Trump does not seem so dramatic if the past elections are analyzed. This paper identifies few patterns through the analysis of past elections that support the Republican victory in the Elections 2016. This article highlights those patterns calling them the Trumps Triumph Cards and correlates them with the results of the current election. This paper identifies that the Role of the White Population, Population with 40+ years of age, The Rubio Factor in Florida, the vote of White Women, the increasing millennial Vote and the voting collapse for democrats were the contributing factors for Trumps dramatic win over Hillary Clinton. The data is collected from national polls surveys and statistical departments and tabulated.
Seizure outcomes in children with Rasmussen’s encephalitis undergoing resective or hemispheric epilepsy surgery: an individual participant data meta-analysis
Authors: Harris William B. , Phillips H. Westley , Chen Jia Shu , Weil Alexander G. , Ibrahim George M. , Fallah Aria
Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to perform an individual participant data meta-analysis to identify preoperative factors associated with a good seizure outcome in children with Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) undergoing resective or hemispheric epilepsy surgery.

METHODS

Electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL) were searched with no language or date restrictions to identify cohort studies of consecutive participants undergoing resective surgery that reported seizure outcomes. The authors recorded all preoperative factors that could plausibly be associated with seizure outcomes and used Cox regression analysis to identify which of these variables were associated with seizure freedom (i.e., Engel class I).

RESULTS

Of 720 citations, 19 articles reporting on 187 participants were eligible. Seizure freedom (Engel class I) was observed in 113 participants (60.4%). On univariate analyses, younger age at disease onset (hazard ratio [HR] 0.906, p = 0.001), younger age at surgery (HR 0.928, p < 0.001), shorter time to surgery (HR 0.921, p = 0.001), and hemispherectomy (HR 0.283, p < 0.001) were all associated with longer time to postoperative seizure recurrence. Additionally, multivariable analysis including the aforementioned variables showed that younger age at surgery (HR 0.946, p = 0.043) and hemispherectomy (HR 0.297, p < 0.001) were independently and significantly associated with a greater time to seizure recurrence and longer duration of seizure freedom.

CONCLUSIONS

The majority of pediatric patients undergoing resective or hemispheric surgery for RE achieve good seizure outcome. Although small retrospective cohort studies are inherently prone to bias, the best available evidence utilizing individual participant data suggests hemispheric surgery and younger age at surgery are associated with good seizure outcomes following epilepsy surgery. Large, multicenter observational studies with long-term follow-up are required to evaluate the risk factors identified in this review.
PedsQL for prediction of postoperative patient-reported outcomes following Chiari decompression surgery
Authors: Baygani Shawyon , Zieles Kristin , Jea Andrew
Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study is to determine if the preoperative Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) score is predictive of short- and intermediate-term PedsQL outcomes following Chiari decompression surgery. The utility of preoperative patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in predicting pain, opioid consumption, and long-term PROs has been demonstrated in adult spine surgery. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, however, there is currently no widely accepted tool to predict short-, intermediate-, or long-term outcomes after pediatric Chiari decompression surgery.

METHODS

A prospectively maintained database was retrospectively reviewed. Patients who had undergone first-time decompression for symptomatic Chiari malformation were identified and grouped according to their preoperative PedsQL scores: mild disability (score 80–100), moderate disability (score 60–79), and severe disability (score < 60). PedsQL scores at the 6-week, 3-month, and/or 6-month follow-ups were collected. Preoperative PedsQL subgroups were tested for an association with demographic and perioperative characteristics using one-way ANOVA or chi-square analysis. Preoperative PedsQL subgroups were tested for an association with improvements in short- and intermediate-term PedsQL scores using one-way ANOVA and a paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test controlling for statistically different demographic characteristics when appropriate.

RESULTS

A total of 87 patients were included in this analysis. According to their preoperative PedsQL scores, 28% of patients had mild disability, 40% had moderate disability, and 32% had severe disability. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of comorbidities (p = 0.009) and the presenting symptoms of headaches (p = 0.032) and myelopathy (p = 0.047) among the subgroups; however, in terms of other demographic or operative factors, there was no significant difference. Patients with greater preoperative disability demonstrated statistically significantly lower PedsQL scores at all postoperative time points, except in terms of the parent-reported PedsQL at 6 months after surgery (p = 0.195). Patients with severe disability demonstrated statistically significantly greater improvements (compared to preoperative scores) in PedsQL scores at all time points after surgery, except in terms of the 6-week and 6-month PROs and the 6-month parent-reported outcomes (p = 0.068, 0.483, and 0.076, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

Patients with severe disability, as assessed by the PedsQL, had lower absolute PedsQL scores at all time points after surgery but greater improvement in short- and intermediate-term PROs. The authors conclude that the PedsQL is an efficient and accurate tool that can quickly assess patient disability in the preoperative period and predict both short- and intermediate-term surgical outcomes.

Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVE

The lack of a continuous, noninvasive modality for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) is a major obstacle in the care of pediatric patients with hydrocephalus who are at risk for intracranial hypertension. Intracranial hypertension can lead to cerebral ischemia and brain tissue hypoxia. In this study, the authors evaluated the use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) in symptomatic pediatric patients with hydrocephalus concerning for elevated ICP.

METHODS

The authors evaluated the NIRS rSO2 trends in pediatric patients presenting with acute hydrocephalus and clinical symptoms of intracranial hypertension. NIRS rSO2 values were recorded hourly before and after neurosurgical intervention. To test for significance between preoperative and postoperative values, the authors constructed a linear regression model with the rSO2 values as the outcome and pre- and postsurgery cohorts as the independent variable, adjusted for age and sex, and used the generalized estimating equation method to account for within-subject correlation.

RESULTS

Twenty-two pediatric patients underwent NIRS rSO2 monitoring before and after CSF diversion surgery. The mean durations of NIRS rSO2 recording pre- and postoperatively were 13.95 and 26.82 hours, respectively. The mean pre- and postoperative rSO2 values were 73.84% and 80.65%, respectively, and the adjusted mean difference estimated from the regression model was 5.98% (adjusted p < 0.0001), suggestive of improved cerebral oxygenation after definitive neurosurgical CSF diversion treatment. Postoperatively, all patients returned to baseline neurological status with no clinical symptoms of elevated ICP.

CONCLUSIONS

Cerebral oxygenation trends measured by NIRS in symptomatic pediatric hydrocephalus patients with intracranial hypertension generally improve after CSF diversion surgery.

Published: January 2020

Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is based on symptoms; however, the challenge is to diagnose AD at the preclinical stage with the application of biomarkers and initiate early treatment (still not widely available). Currently, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42) and tau are used in the clinical diagnosis of AD; nevertheless, blood biomarkers (Aβ42 and tau) are less predictive. Amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is an advancement in technology that uses approved radioactive diagnostic agents (florbetapir, flutemetamol, or florbetaben) to estimate Aβ neuritic plaque density in adults with cognitive impairment evaluated for AD and other causes of cognitive decline. There is no cure for AD to date—the disease progression cannot be stopped or reversed; approved pharmacological agents (donepezil, galantamine, and rivastigmine; memantine) provide symptomatic treatment. However, the disease-modifying therapies are promising; aducanumab and CAD106 are in phase III trials for the early stages of AD. In conclusion, core CSF biomarkers reflect pathophysiology of AD in the early and late stages; the application of approved radiotracers have potential in amyloid-PET brain imaging to detect early AD.
Interaction of phenolics with food matrix: In vitro and in vivo approaches
Authors: Pinarli Beril , Simge Karliga E. , Ozkan Gulay , Capanoglu Esra
Published: January 2020

Studies on the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of phenolic compounds are becoming more popular as these compounds may show their health beneficial properties just if they are bioaccessible and bioavailable. It has been reported that there are several factors affecting the bioavailability of phenolics, and one of the most predominant one is the food matrix. In this paper, the effect of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, phenolics and vitamins on the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of phenolics and the fate of these molecular interactions are reviewed. These interactions are known to be influenced by temperature, pH, type and concentration of the food component and the phenolic compounds. As a result, it is difficult to derive an exact conclusion and every food material and component should be evaluated individually with respect to its interacting phenolic. On the other hand, it will be helpful to increase the number of in vitro and in vivo studies on the bioavailability of phenolic substances in contact with various food components in order to guide the design of functional foods enriched with phenolic substances.
Providing Reproductive Health Promotion in Drug Treatment Clinics
Authors: Nichols Tracy R. , Love Haley
Published: January 2020

Background and Purpose: Prenatal substance use continues to be a critical public health concern. Integrating reproductive health promotion with addiction treatment is a promising approach to addressing this issue. This study was designed to understand strengths and challenges of a pilot reproductive health program, consisting of preconception/interconception health classes, childbirth education classes, and access to free doula services, for people in addiction treatment. Methods: The study design was a qualitative formative evaluation. Observations of the program (n=9) were conducted along with interviews (n=12) with clients, counselors, and program facilitators. Results: Strengths included a good fit between the program and clients’ needs and commitment to further integrate the program. Challenges included inconsistent participation and issues of facilitator selection and training. Barriers were noted related to the complex and chaotic lives of the clientele. Techniques to address inconsistent participation through mandated attendance as well as rotating and reviewing content showed mixed success. Conclusion: The study found the program to be well-regarded by stakeholders, but several structural challenges were identified. Future programs should strive for greater integration between treatment providers and reproductive health facilitators. Research is also needed to assess the effectiveness of providing integrated reproductive health education to clients engaged in addiction treatment.

Petrographic characterization and petroleum potential of Mesozoic carbonate rock in Block 106, Northern Red river basin
Authors: Thi Luan Bui , Kim Phuong Lieu
Published: January 2020

Petroleum exploration and exploitation in Red River basin has been carried since the early 1960s of the 20th century, however until now its effectiveness has been still limited. Recently, the oil price is constantly changing so the efficiency of petroleum exploration and exploitation is particularly considered. Therefore, the assessment of petroleum potential and the direction of exploration are not only scientific research but also economic problem for developing countries in which there is Vietnam. The article considers that characteristic of carbonate petrography is along with intergration of interpreted seismic –stratigraphy and well logs, geochemistry analytic results of source rocks and related literatures as well. The purpose is to predict the petroleum potential of carbonate rock in block 106 and serve effectively in Petroleum exploration and exploitation in Red River basin Based on the analytic results, carbonate rock in the study area was impacted by tectonic activities such as mechanic compaction; dissolution forming fractures, stylolites; and post-depositional processes as recrystallization of minerals, creating vuggy, mouldic and intraparticle pores and dolomitization as well. Carbonate rock contains fossils as foraminifera, coral, algae, echinoderm with subordinate brachiopod, bryozoa. Most of them are mudstone, wackestone with mud-supported and packstone is made up of abundant fossils. Locally, carbonate rock was fractured and filled up by calcite and silic. Oil and gas traces have been discovered in Mesozoic carbonate rock, block 106, northern Red River basin. Fractured carbonate rock and weathered carbonate rock in the structures as A, C and E are oil fields. Oil migrates into traps that were early formed in fractured carbonate basement rock masses that were buried in pre-Kainozoi.

Authors: Mustafa Mashaer M , El Hussein Abdel Rahim M , Elkhidir Isam M , A Enan Khalid
Published: January 2020

This study was carried out to detect occult hepatitis B virus (OHB) among renal transplant patients in Khartoum State, Sudan. Antigen capture enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) competitive ELISA and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to respectively detect hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), ; Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in 100 plasma samples collected from patients during the period from May to October 2018 . Out of the 100 patients sampled, 70 were males and 30 were females (age 15 to 65 years) and none of these patients showed signs of clinical hepatitis. The results showed that 3 out of the 100 samples were positive for HBsAg, and were subsequently excluded from the study.
