Authors: Isaksen Katja E. , Linney Lori , Williamson Helen , Norman Elizabeth J. , Cave Nick J. , Cogger Naomi
Published: March 2021

Working farm dogs are essential to many livestock farmers. Little is known about factors that influence dogs’ risk of being lost from work. This paper explores risk factors for farm dogs being lost through death, euthanasia and retirement. All enrolled dogs were working and minimum 18 months old. Five data collection rounds were done over four years. Data about dogs were collected from owners and dogs were given physical examinations by veterinarians. Dogs that were lost from work were counted and owner-reported reasons for loss were recorded. Multivariable logistic regression modelling was used to investigate risk factors for loss. Of 589 dogs, 81 were lost from work. Of these, 59 dogs died or were euthanized and 22 were retired. Farm dogs tended to reach high ages, with 38% being 10 years or older when last examined. Acute injury or illness was the most commonly owner-reported reason for loss. Age group (P < 0.0001) and lameness (P = 0.04, OR = 1.8) significantly affected dogs’ risk being lost. These results expand our knowledge about factors that affect health, welfare and work in farm dogs. Further investigation into reasons for lameness may help improve health and welfare in working farm dogs.

In this paper we consider phase-field model which describes electric breackdown process in solid dielectrics. The presented model extends the earlier presented one. The derived model includes energy conservation equation, accounts for nonisothermal effects (e.g., Joule heating) and consistently describes energy transformation during breakdown channel propagation. The consistent derivaton of the model is performed in the context of rational thermomechanics framework and M. Gurtin theory of microstresses and microforces.
MESSAGES FOR HUMANITY IN "BULA MALINO" (QUIET MOON) (A POEM BY KAIMUDDIN IDRUS MUHAMMADAL-BUTHUNI IBNU BADARUDDIN)
Authors: Kamaluddin Kamaluddin , Eafli Zainal
Published: March 2021

"Bula Malino" (Quiet Moon) is a literary work found in Buton society and packaged in the form of poem. The manuscript is written in Wolio Language (Butonese main native language) using an Arabic-Wolio script modification, commonly called "buri Wolio" (Wolio writing). This article is yielded to report findings of a qualitative study which analyzes the humanity messages revealed in the poem using a content analysis and structuralism genetic approach. This approach follows some gradual procedures such as examining intrinsic elements of poem, reviewing social life of author, and giving a reflection to history and social background of Buton society. The findings show that the poem reveals messages and values for humanity in terms of sobriety or calm mind/heart and soul clarity for being prepared for death. The poem also contains advice addressed to readers. It was noted that the author of the poem was born in the late 18th century AD. At the age of 40, he was inaugurated the 29th sultan of Buton. At this century, Buton social condition was more than enthusiastic in learning science. This was marked by the establishment of a school named "Zaawiah".

Revision Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for Anatomical Glenoid Component Loosening Was Not Universally Successful
Authors: Bartels Douglas W. , Marigi Erick , Sperling John W. , Sanchez-Sotelo Joaquin
Published: March 2021

Background:

Glenoid component loosening is a primary cause of failure of anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and is commonly associated with glenoid bone loss. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the outcome and survival following revision to a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for the treatment of loosening of a polyethylene cemented glenoid component in the setting of failed TSA.

Methods:

Between 2010 and 2017, 151 shoulders underwent revision to RSA for the treatment of loosening of an anatomical polyethylene glenoid component. Shoulders with staged reconstruction for the treatment of infection were excluded. One hundred and twenty-seven patients (67 women and 60 men) had a single-stage reconstruction and were available for follow-up. The mean age at the time of surgery was 70 years (range, 41 to 93 years). In all cases, the humeral component was revised and a standard glenoid baseplate was utilized. Bone graft was used at the discretion of the treating surgeon. Medical records and radiographs were reviewed to collect demographic, intraoperative, and postoperative data; to quantify glenoid bone loss; and to determine the radiographic outcome. The mean duration of follow-up was 35 months (range, 24 to 84 months).

Results:

Revision to RSA resulted in significant improvements in terms of pain and motion. Sixteen shoulders (13%) underwent revision surgery for the treatment of baseplate loosening. Radiographic baseplate loosening was present in 6 additional shoulders (overall rate of baseplate loosening, 17%). Intraoperative fracture or fragmentation of the greater tuberosity occurred in 30 shoulders (24%). Other reoperations included resection for deep infection (3 shoulders), arthroscopic biopsies for unexplained persistent pain (2 shoulders), humeral tray exchange for dislocation (2 shoulders), revision for humeral loosening (1 shoulder), irrigation and debridement for hematoma (1 shoulder), and internal fixation of periprosthetic fracture (1 shoulder) (overall reoperation rate, 20%). Among shoulders with surviving implants at the time of the most recent follow-up, pain was rated as none or mild in 83 shoulders (65.4%) and the average active elevation and external rotation were 132° and 38°, respectively. With the numbers available, no risk factors for failure could be identified.

Conclusions:

Revision RSA for the treatment of loosening of an anatomical polyethylene component was associated with a 17% glenoid mechanical failure rate. Although this procedure resulted in improvements in terms of pain and function, it was not universally successful and thus needs further refinement in order to improve outcomes.

On-Track Lesions with a Small Distance to Dislocation Are Associated with Failure After Arthroscopic Anterior Shoulder Stabilization
Authors: Li Ryan T. , Kane Gillian , Drummond Mauricio , Golan Elan , Wilson Kevin , Lesniak Bryson P. , Rodosky Mark , Lin Albert
Published: March 2021

Background:

Off-track lesions are strongly associated with failure after arthroscopic Bankart repair. However, on-track lesions with a small distance-to-dislocation (DTD) value, or “near-track lesions,” also may be at risk for failure. The purpose of the present study was to determine the association of DTD with failure after arthroscopic Bankart repair.

Methods:

We performed a retrospective analysis of 173 individuals who underwent primary arthroscopic Bankart repair between 2007 and 2015. Glenoid bone loss and Hill-Sachs lesion size were measured with use of previously reported methods. Patients with failure were defined as those who sustained a dislocation after the index procedure, whereas controls were defined as individuals who did not. DTD was defined as the distance from the medial edge of the Hill-Sachs lesion to the medial edge of the glenoid track. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed for DTD to determine the critical threshold that would best predict failure. The study population was subdivided into individuals ≥20 years old and <20 years old.

Results:

Twenty-eight patients (16%) sustained a recurrent dislocation following Bankart repair. Increased glenoid bone loss (p < 0.001), longer Hill-Sachs lesion length (p < 0.001), and decreased DTD (p < 0.001) were independent predictors of failure. ROC curve analysis of DTD alone demonstrated that a threshold value of 8 mm could best predict failure (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.73). DTD had strong predictive power (AUC = 0.84) among individuals ≥20 years old and moderate predictive power (AUC = 0.69) among individuals <20 years old. Decreasing values of DTD were associated with a stepwise increase in the failure rate.

Conclusions:

A “near-track” lesion with a DTD of <8 mm, particularly in individuals ≥20 years old, may be predictive of failure following arthroscopic Bankart repair. When using the glenoid track concept as the basis for surgical decision-making, clinicians may need to consider the DTD value as a continuous variable to estimate failure instead of using a binary on-track/off-track designation.

Published: March 2021

Background:

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a frequent complication following hip surgery. Using data from the Hip Fracture Evaluation with Alternatives of Total Hip Arthroplasty versus Hemiarthroplasty (HEALTH) trial, we aimed to (1) determine the prevalence of HO following total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fracture in patients ≥50 years of age, (2) identify whether HO is associated with an increased risk of revision surgery within 24 months after the fracture, and (3) determine the impact of HO on functional outcomes.

Methods:

We performed a multivariable Cox regression analysis using revision surgery as the dependent variable and HO as the independent variable. We compared Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores between participants with and those without HO at 24 months.

Results:

Of 1,441 participants in the study, 287 (19.9%) developed HO within 24 months. HO was not associated with subsequent revision surgery. Grade-III HO was associated with statistically significant and clinically relevant deterioration in the total WOMAC score, which was mainly related to the function component of the score, compared with grade I or II.

Conclusions:

The impact of grade-III HO on the functional outcomes and quality of life after THA for hip fracture is clinically important, and HO prophylaxis for selected high-risk patients may be appropriate.

Authors: R Shashidhar , Kulkarni Sudarshan Patil
Published: March 2021

In the current scenario, audio visual speech recognition is one of the emerging fields of research, but there is still deficiency of appropriate visual features for recognition of visual speech. Human lip-readers are increasingly being presented as useful in the gathering of forensic evidence but, like all human, suffer from unreliability in analyzing the lip movement. Here we used a custom dataset and design the system in such a way that it predicts the output for the lip reading. The problem of speaker independent lip-reading is very demanding due to unpredictable variations between people. Also due to recent developments and advances in the fields of signal processing and computer vision. The task of automating the lip reading is becoming a field of great interest. Here we use MFCC techniques for audio processing and LSTM method for visual speech recognition and finally integrate the audio and video using feed forward neural network (FFNN) and also got good accuracy. That is why the AVSR technique attract a great attention as a reliable solution for the speech detection problem. The final model was capable of taking more appropriate decision while predicting the spoken word. We were able to get a good accuracy of about 92.38% for the final model.
White Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) Interrupts Tissue AR-TMPRSS2 Expression and Attenuates Pro-inflammatory Cytokines in C57BL/6 Mice: Implication for COVID-19 Dietary Intervention

Published: March 2021

Transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2), an androgen-induced protease associated with prostate cancer, is one putative receptor for coronavirus entry into host cells, where triggering aggressive inflammatory cytokine storm and possibly death in COVID-19 patients. We previously reported that dietary white button mushroom (WBM) antagonized dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced androgen receptor (AR) activation and reduced myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in prostate cancer animal models and patients. The present study on C57BL/6 mice revealed that WBM is a unique food that A) interrupts DHT induced AR-TMPRSS2 expression in putative COVID-19 targeted organs through its AR antagonistic activity and B) attenuates serum pro-inflammatory cytokines which have been implicated in COVID-19 pathogenesis. We hereby propose WBM intake as a potentially low-cost, efficient, and safe dietary intervention to mitigate COVID-19.

The interplay of symmetry-breaking ordered states, such as superconductivity, charge density waves (CDW), magnetism and pseudogap, is a fundamental issue in correlated system. CDW and antiferromagnetism often coexist in the proximity of phase diagram region in cuprates. It is also worthy nothing that different order states appear in a situation on comparable temperature scales, so these orders are intertwined and competing on the same footing. The magnetism of vdW material Fe5-xGeTe2 with the one of the highest reported bulk Curie temperatures, is found to be sensitive to thermal history and external magnetic field. However, the temperature-dependent magnetization with two characteristic points still lacks a unified picture to describe. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, magnetic properties measurements, and the first-principles calculations, the complex yet intriguing magnetic behaviors are gradually unveiled. A competition mechanism between charge order and ferromagnetism is proposed and firmly observed by experimental measurements. As the ferromagnetic order strengthens at low temperature, the charge order will be suppressed. Exchange splitting in itinerant ferromagnetism plays a significant role in the temperature evolution of band structure and causes a Lifshitz transition, which provides more control means to realize novel devices at room temperature.
Design Approach To Bolted End-Plate Vertical-Slits RWS Connection
Authors: Nazaralizadeh Hamidreza , Ronagh Hamid , Memarzadeh Parham , Behnamfar Farhad
Published: March 2021

Extensive research has been carried out on steel moment frames to improve the cyclic performance of seismic resisting connections with reduced beam section (RBS). The RBS connections are conventionally known by the radial reduction of the beam flange. Where the contribution of the beam flange to the flexural resistance is greater than that of the beam web, some researchers have proposed reduced web section (RWS) connections, instead. The present study dedicates to the RWS connections with vertical-slits (VS), as a cost-effective alternative with multiple design parameters. This paper aims to obtain proper ranges for the geometric design parameters of the VS-RWS connection. In this order, two full-scale specimens of the bolted end-plate VS-RWS connection were experimentally tested under the SAC cyclic loading to evaluate the performance of connections, and then a parametric study was carried out using the verified numerical models. The parameters consist of the distance between the column face and the beginning of the reduced region, the length of the reduced region, as well as the depth and width of the vertical-slits. Based on the results, certain recommendations for the ranges of the geometric parameters of VS-RWS have been suggested. In order to obtain the story drift of the frame caused by the VS-RWS beam flexural deformation using the conjugate beam method, the original VS-RWS was replaced with an equivalent constant-cut reduced beam section (CC-RBS). At last, a simple design procedure for VS-RWS connections was provided according to AISC-358.
RBDN: Residual Bottleneck Dense Network for Image Super-Resolution
Authors: An Zeyu , Zhang Junyuan , Sheng Ziyu , Er Xuanhe , Lv Junjie
Published: March 2021

Recent studies have shown that Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (SRGAN) can significantly improve the quality of single-image super-resolution. However, the existing SRGAN approaches also have drawbacks, such as inadequate of features utilization, huge number of parameters and poor scalability. To further enhance the visual quality, we thoroughly study three key components of SRGAN: network architecture, adversarial loss and perceptual loss, and propose a DenseNet with Residual-in-Residual Bottleneck Block (RRBB) named as Residual Bottleneck Dense Network (RBDN) for single-image super-resolution. In particular, RBDN combines ResNet and DenseNet with different roles, in which ResNet refines feature values by addition and DenseNet memorizes feature values by concatenation. Specifically, the DenseNet adopts the Bottleneck structure to reduce the network parameters and improve the convergence rate. In addition, the proposed RRBB, as the basic network building unit, removes the batch normalization (BN) layer and employs the ELU function to reduce the opposite effects in the absence of BN. In this way, RBDN can enjoy the merits of the sufficient feature value refined by residual groups and the refined feature value memorized by dense connections, thus achieving better performance compared with most current residual blocks.

Published: March 2021

Background: Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is a common musculoskeletal condition. However, the treatment of LE is still controversial. The present study evaluated the production of inflammatory cytokines by lateral epicondylitis-derived cells and compared the anti-inflammatory effect of triamcinolone acetonide with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on their production in cell culture.Methods: Third passage cells from primary cultures of lateral epicondylitis were assessed for the production of the cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α by immune-enzymatic assay (ELISA), after treatment with 1, 10 and 100 mM triamcinolone compared to untreated controls at the time points 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, and to PRP at 48, 72 and 96 hours.Results: The cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 were produced in high concentrations by lateral epicondylitis cells. Triamcinolone induced a significant decrease in the production of IL-6 and IL-8 at 48, 72 and 96 hours, and at 12 hours for IL-8. The PRP group produced significantly higher levels of IL-8 than the control group, at 96 hours. There was a significant increase in IL-10 production with the use of 100 μM triamcinolone at 48 hours, compared to controls. The production of IL1-β and TNF-α was very low and did not change when the cultures were treated with triamcinolone or PRP.Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that IL-6 and IL-8 plays a role in the pathogenesis of lateral epicondylitis. Triamcinolone inhibited the production of the production of IL-6 and IL-8 by lateral epicondylitis-derived cells and PRP induced an increase in IL-8 levels compared to controls.

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that de novo T790M mutation occurs at a low frequency in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the effects of this mutation on the formation of T790M resistant clones and efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) remain unclear. Methods: Fifty-nine treatment-naïve in-patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC were enrolled in this study between 2017 and 2018. We dynamically monitored T790M mutation in ctDNA of patients before and during treatment with first-generation EGFR-TKIs, which were administered every 2 to 3 months until disease progression. Results: Among the patients, 28.81% (17/59) had a low-frequency de novo T790M mutation, 66.67% (10/15) of them retained T790M mutation and resistance in this group was defined as “selection” resistance. T790M mutation was detected after treatment in 42.3% (11/26) of patients without de novo T790M mutation who experienced disease progression and resistance in this group was defined as “acquisition” resistance. After treatment with third-generation EGFR-TKI, patients with the “selection” T790M resistance mutation had significantly better objective response rate (ORR) and longer progression-free survival (PFS) than those with the “acquisition” T790M resistance mutation. Conclusion: Our study provides evidence that low-frequency de novo T790M mutation is not rare in patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC. T790M resistance mutations can have two origins: the selection of low-frequency de novo T790M clones or the acquisition of the mutation in initially T790M-negative cells clinically. Since the origin of T790M resistance mutations can affect the efficacy of third-generation EGFR-TKIs, these EGFR-TKIs may be more effective for the treatment of NSCLC patients with “selection” T790M resistance mutations.

Background: The attributable mortality and microbial etiology of stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) vary among different studies. We intednd to determine the microbiology and outcomes of SAP in lower respiratory tract (LRT) for patients with invasive mechanical ventilation (MV).Methods: In this prospective observational study, included patients were divided into SAP and non-SAP based on comprehensive analysis of symptom, imaging and laboratory results. Baseline characteristic, clinical characteristic, microbiology and outcomes were recorded and evaluated.Results: Of 185 patients, 41.6% developed SAP after onset of stroke, and they had lower proportion of non-smoker (p=0.016), lower GCS score (p<0.001), higher serum CRP score (p<0.001) at ICU admission, and higher proportion of males (p<0.001) and hypertension (p=0.018) than patients with non-SAP. Gram-negative aerobic bacilli were the predominant organisms isolated (78%), followed by Gram-positive aerobic cocci (29.9%). Out of 19 isolated pathogens, main pathogens included K. pneumoniae, S. aureus, H. influenzae, A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa, E. aerogens, Serratia marcescens, and Burkholderia cepacia. SAP significantly prolonged length of MV (p<0.001) and duration of ICU stays (p<0.001), shorten MV-free days by 28 (p<0.001), caused elevated vasopressor application (p=0.002) and 60-day mortality (p=0.001).Conclusion: Microbiology of SAP is similar to early-phase HAP and VAP. SAP significantly prolongs duration of MV and lengths of ICU stays, but also markedly increase 60-day mortality.Trial registration: ChiCTR2000028849; http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx, Registered 05 January 2020.

Background: Palliative care is a medical specialty centered on improving the quality of life (QOL) of patients with complex or life-threatening illnesses. The need for Palliative care is increasing and with that the rigorous testing of triage tools that can be used quickly and reliably to identify patients that may benefit from palliative care. Methods: To that Aim we will conduct a two-armed stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial rolled out to two inpatient hospitals to evaluate whether a machine learning algorithm accurately identifies patients who may benefit from a comprehensive review by a palliative care specialist, and decreases time to receiving a palliative care consult in hospital. This is a single-center study which will be conducted from August 2019 to November 2020 at Saint Mary’s Hospital & Methodist Hospital, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Clusters will be nursing units which will be chosen to be a mix of complex patients from Cardiology, Critical Care and Oncology and had previously established relationships with palliative medicine. The stepped wedge design will have 12 units allocated to a design matrix of 5 treatment wedges. Each wedge will last 75 days resulting in a study period of 12 months unless otherwise specified. Data will be analyzed with Bayesian hierarchical models with credible intervals denoting statistical significance.Discussion: This intervention offers a pragmatic approach to delivering specialty palliative care to hospital patients in need using machine learning, thereby leading to high value care and improved outcomes. It is not enough for AI to be utilized by simply publishing research showing predictive performance; Clinical trials demonstrating better outcomes are critically needed. Furthermore, the deployment of an AI algorithm is a complex process that requires multiple teams with varying skill sets. To evaluate a deployed AI, a pragmatic clinical trial can accommodate the difficulties of clinical practice whilst retaining scientific rigor.Trial registration NCT03976297 (ClinicalTrials.gov), registered on June 6, 2019 prior to trial start.
The algebra of anomaly interplay
Authors: Davighi Joe , Lohitsiri Nakarin
Published: March 2021

We give a general description of the interplay that can occur between local and global anomalies, in terms of (co)bordism. Mathematically, such an interplay is encoded in the non-canonical splitting of short exact sequences known to classify invertible field theories. We study various examples of the phenomenon in 2, 4, and 6 dimensions. We also describe how this understanding of anomaly interplay provides a rigorous bordism-based version of an old method for calculating global anomalies (starting from local anomalies in a related theory) due to Elitzur and Nair.

Published: March 2021

We present a systematic construction of probes into the dynamics of isospectral ensembles of Hamiltonians by the notion of Isospectral twirling, expanding the scopes and methods of ref. [1]. The relevant ensembles of Hamiltonians are those defined by salient spectral probability distributions. The Gaussian Unitary Ensembles (GUE) describes a class of quantum chaotic Hamiltonians, while spectra corresponding to the Poisson and Gaussian Diagonal Ensemble (GDE) describe non chaotic, integrable dynamics. We compute the Isospectral twirling of several classes of important quantities in the analysis of quantum many-body systems: Frame potentials, Loschmidt Echos, OTOCs, Entanglement, Tripartite mutual information, coherence, distance to equilibrium states, work in quantum batteries and extension to CP-maps. Moreover, we perform averages in these ensembles by random matrix theory and show how these quantities clearly separate chaotic quantum dynamics from non chaotic ones.
ULUSLARARASI HUKUK SAVAŞ HALİNDE: TRUMP YÖNETİMİNİN ULUSLARARASI HUKUK YAKLAŞIMI ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: KIRDIM Şahin Eray
Published: March 2021

Donald Trump, ABD başkanı olarak görev yaptığı ile günden son güne kadar sansasyonel açıklamaları ve düzen karşıtı tutumu ile dikkat çekmiştir. Bu düzen karşıtı tutum sadece kendi ülkesi ile sınırlı kalmamış, aynı zamanda uluslararası ilişkiler ve hukukun yerleşik pratik ve kurallarına savaş açacak bir noktaya varmıştır. “Önce Amerika” sloganında hayat bulan Amerikanizm, Trump yönetiminin politikaları ile çok taraflılık karşısında güçlü bir zemin kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Trump yönetiminin uluslararası hukuk sistemine yönelik düzen karşıtı eylemleri ele alınmaktadır. Bu itibarla çalışma iki ana bölüme ayrılmıştır. Birinci bölümde, Trump yönetiminin ABD’nin menfaatlerine uymayan antlaşmalardan veya örgütlerden rahatlıkla çekilebildiği, çekilme tehdidi ile kendi lehine düzenlemeleri zorunlu kıldığı, bu örgütlere yaptığı finansal katkıları bir silah olarak kullandığı ve uluslararası katılım ve “soft law” araçlarını kendi menfaatine aykırı olan her durumda reddettiği örneklerle gösterilmektedir. İkinci bölümde ise, Trump yönetiminin uluslararası hukukun temel kurallarından bazılarını doğrudan ihlal ettiği, ihlal edilmesine göz yumduğu ve uluslararası kurumlara yönelik söylem ve eylem düzeyinde saldırılar gerçekleştirdiği örneklerle ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmada üç temel iddia ileri sürülmektedir. Birincisi, Trump yönetimi, uluslararası hukukun temel ilkelerini ihlal etmekle ABD’nin üzerine kurulu olduğu çok taraflılık ve enternasyonalizm düşüncelerine ciddi şekilde zarar vermiştir. İkincisi, Trump’ın yaklaşımı modern uluslararası hukukun temelini oluşturan evrensel haklara değil, kendi ulusal çıkarlarına dayanmaktadır. Üçüncüsü, Trump yönetimi ABD’nin çıkarları gerektirdiğinde sadece uluslararası hukuku ihlal etmekle kalmayıp, uluslararası hukuka ve kurumlarına meydan okuyarak onu zayıflatmaktadır.
