A comparison of partial repair with arthroscopic margin convergence suture and open superior capsular reconstruction in patients with massive rotator cuff tear
Authors: Gulcu Anil , Dincer Recep
Published: March 2023

Introduction

Massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) remain a controversial problem for clinicians. There are several recommendations in the literature, from various surgical techniques to the effectiveness of conservative treatment. In this study, we aimed to compare clinical outcomes and functional results of open superior capsular reconstruction for massive rotator cuff tear and arthroscopic partial rotator cuff repair with margin convergence.

Material and methods

This study included 40 patients with massive rotator cuff tears that could not be treated with arthroscopic partial repair with margin convergence or open superior capsular reconstruction. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the treatment method. Patient assignments for each group were not randomized. Group 1 consisted of 20 patients who underwent open superior capsular reconstruction, and Group 2 comprised 20 patients who underwent arthroscopic partial repair. UCLA (University of California Los Angeles), CS (Constant shoulder score) scores, and the visual analogue pain scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the patients.

Results

At the time of the latest follow-up evaluation, both groups showed significant improvements in clinical outcomes (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the clinical outcomes between groups. The preoperative tear size was statistically significantly higher in the superior capsular reconstruction group (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Our results supported the benefits of arthroscopic and open surgical technique with similar clinical results in the treatment of massive rotator cuff tear. We think that arthroscopic partial repair may be preferred by surgeons because it is minimally invasive compared to open superior capsular reconstruction.

Published: March 2023

nfection prediction after kidney transplantation is significant. Most existing models for predicting kidney transplant infection are statistical, unintelligent, and straightforward. The foremost task of this paper is to analyze kidney transplantation data, introduce existing traditional machine learning and deep learning methods from non-temporal and temporal scenarios, respectively, and comprehensively evaluate the predictive power of the methods for kidney transplantation infection. Specifically, in the non-temporal scenario, we use Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machines, and Random Forest models. In addition, in the temporal scenario, we propose an MTAN model based on a sliding window algorithm to exploit the hidden information of adjacent time series fully. Experimental results show that the kidney transplantation prediction models built by Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machines have better stability than those constructed by K-Nearest Neighbor and Random Forest. The MTAN model with sliding windows can better mine the hidden temporal information.

Authors: Nieto Angel Dacal , Cibeira Rubén Paz , González Carmen Fernández , Areal Juan José
Published: March 2023

Finishing operations represent a crucial stage in manufacturing, where it is necessary either to remove unwanted material from a part, or provide aspect features to it. This includes smoothing, polishing and machining-alike solutions. In this paper, a new methodology to approach the automation of finishing processes in manufacturing, is presented. Four main steps are defined: part measuring, path creation, finishing operation, and part verification. Two use cases, belonging to real workplaces in an automotive factory of the Stellantis group, are presented as validation scenarios. One of these, a cyber-physical system to deburr a weld beam between two parts of complex geometry, has been successfully working in-line for the last ten years. This represents an improvement of the ergonomics of the operators and their working conditions, as well as a reduction of costs. This shows that the automation of finishing process means an opportunity to increase productivity, quality and efficiency in the factory.

Published: March 2023

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), e-health has become one of the main topics of research. Due to the sensitivity of patient information, patient privacy seems challenging. Nowadays, patient data is usually stored in the cloud in healthcare programs, making it difficult for users to have enough control over their data. The recent increment in announced cases of security and surveillance breaches compromising patients' privacy call into question the conventional model, in which third-parties gather and control immense amounts of patients' Healthcare data. In this work, we try to resolve the issues mentioned above by using blockchain technology. We propose a blockchain-based protocol suitable for ehealth applications that does not require trust in a third party and provides an efficient privacypreserving access control mechanism. Transactions in our proposed system, unlike Bitcoin, are not entirely financial, and we do not use conventional methods for consensus operations in blockchain like Proof of Work (PoW). It is not suitable for IoT applications because IoT devices have resourcesconstraints. Usage of appropriate consensus method helps us to increase network security and efficiency, as well as reducing network cost, i.e., bandwidth and processor usage. Finally, we provide security and privacy analysis of our proposed protocol.

Published: March 2023

This study is focused on developing a data collection system to enhance the performance of Koperasi, an organization with complex data collection. An Android application was created to automate the processing of member and transaction data, significantly improving data processing efficiency. However, building a quality system takes time and requires error-free data processing. To achieve this, Automated Test Case Generation with EvoMaster was used to test the REST API and identify errors. The testing process went through several iterations until almost no errors were found. EvoMaster generated over 19.5 million scenarios and found 78 errors in the REST API in 58 hours, which were promptly fixed between iterations. The use of EvoMaster not only reduced development time but also helped maintain code quality.

Authors: Munib Muchammad Abdulloh , Luthfi Ahmad
Published: March 2023

In April 2011, the term Industry 4.0 was introduced at the Hannover Fair. PT Yamaha Indonesia was an early adopter, implementing it in their piano manufacturing process. To achieve production targets, it is necessary to monitor the production series, including the assembly of piano components into a complete unit. SAP, a software platform, is used to improve efficiency, with one of its modules being K-STAFF, which has four derivative applications: K-Master, K-Ticket, K-Score, and K-Tiptop. However, the current production process is monitored through scanning input using a SAP derivative application, which is not visualized in the production area, leading to failed targets. To address this issue, a system is required to visualize input scan results to enable direct monitoring of the production process and achieve production targets. As a result, PT Yamaha Indonesia developed the Ratio Set Assy Grand Piano system using the SCRUM method. This system includes an MIS that monitors the ratio set of piano, visualized with Apache E-Charts, manages planning, and identifies priority spare parts in real-time. This research contributes to the development of a more efficient and effective production process

Published: March 2023

Pakistan is an agricultural country and requires an adequate supply of water for irrigation throughout the year. Water is one of the most precious natural resources and its effectual management is a main concern in various agricultural systems around the world. The major problem is the water accumulation by the wealthy farmers store water for their own fields and allow water to pass to other farmers after receiving the money. Secondly, most of the time water wastage occurs due to over watering, it is because there is very large area in the fields (in acres) that is very difficult for the famers to supervise all the area. Similarly, sometime there is inadequate water supply, which cause the damage of crops or results in lesser yield on some section of the field. This paper presents solution of the mentioned problems and increasing the hold of Indus River Systems Authority (IRSA) on the irrigation mechanism so that the required quantity of water can only be delivered at the specific time for each field (as per requiring output from sensors grounded in field). The presented system consists of implement of the sensors in each corner of the fields, when the sensor value (in voltage) goes to satisfied number it sends notification to IRSA and if the water level goes to danger level, it will automatically close the gate from where water is released. New water system with electrical control advancements can improve water utilization proficiency, compelling water sparing and diminishing the natural affects. The target of the presented system is to dodge wastage of water and enhance efficiency of irrigation by utilizing a PLC based irrigation framework with the assistance of soil dampness sensors. An automatic control system of gates helps to close or open the gates if the water level in soil reaches a critical value. The motivation behind this work was to create a self-administering water supply framework that works on utilization of a solitary model according to which; the water supply follows a pre-supplied timetable along-with the monitoring of the in-field conditions, prompting a sensible sparing in the measure of water supply. It should likewise be dependable and effectively deployable to work under cruel outside conditions without the requirement for oversight or customary checking. The deployed electronic system can be powered through solar energy. The developed mechanism can make farmers capable of fulfilling their irrigation needs besides the PV based generated extra electricity can be shared or sold to neighbors or water and power Development authority (WAPDA).

Ideas and perspectives: Beyond model evaluation – combining experiments and models to advance terrestrial ecosystem science
Authors: Caldararu Silvia , Rolo Victor , Stocker Benjamin D. , Gimeno Teresa E. , Nair Richard
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Ecosystem manipulative experiments are one of the most powerful tools to understand terrestrial ecosystem responses to global change because they measure real responses in real ecosystems. However, their scope is limited in space and time due to cost and labour intensity. This makes generalising results from such experiments difficult, which creates a conceptual gap between local scale process understanding and global scale future predictions. Recent efforts have seen results from such experiments used in combination with dynamic global vegetation models, most commonly to evaluate model predictions under global change drivers. However, there is much more potential in combining models and experiments. Here, we discuss the value and potential of a workflow for using ecosystem experiments together with process-based models to enhance the potential of both. We suggest that models can be used prior to the start of an experiment to generate hypotheses, identify data needs and in general guide experimental design. Models, when adequately constrained with observations, can also predict variables which are difficult to measure frequently or at all, and together with the data can provide a more complete picture of ecosystem states. Finally, models can be used to help generalise the experimental results in space and time, by providing a framework in which process understanding derived from site-level experiments can be incorporated. We also discuss the potential for using manipulative experiments together with models in formalised model-data integration frameworks for parameter estimation and model selection, a path made possible by the increasing number of ecosystem experiments and diverse observation streams. The ideas presented here can provide a roadmap to future experiment - model studies.
Hydrothermal activity of the Lake Abhe geothermal field (Djibouti): Structural controls and paths for further exploration
Authors: Walter Bastien , Géraud Yves , Favier Alexiane , Chibati Nadjib , Diraison Marc
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Lake Abhe is sitting on the Gob Aad graben within the tectonic Afar triangle in the Republic of Djibouti. It is known for its exposures of massive hydrothermal chimneys on the lake’s eastern shore. The many hydrothermal surface manifestations on this side of the lake, including steam vents, hot springs and carbonate chimney structures, reflect the geothermal field of this area. This study describes the structural settings of the Lake Abhe Geothermal Field (LAGF), using multiscale structural lineament distribution mapping. It also investigates the hydrothermal surface manifestations distribution in order to specify structural controls on local fluid flow and discuss its evolution. Structural features of the LAGF area are dominated by ESE-trending extensional faults that form a series of narrow elongated horst, graben and half-graben structures. Fault interaction and accommodation zones, as well as fault intersections, relay ramps and possible breaching faults are also recognized and may represent interesting structural features in terms of fluid flow pathways. Hydrothermal chimneys and hot springs distribution over the LAGF area is controlled by the main structural trends, and show signs of higher hydrothermal activity located at intersecting structural traces. Field observations, in conjunction with satellite images analysis, suggest a progressive lateral evolution of the LAGF hydrothermal fluid outflows over time. Therefore, this study provides new insights on the local tectonically driven fluid flow of the LAGF, that may support further exploration of this remarkable site and may promote its geothermal development.

"A Change of Name during Sickness"
Authors: Fielding Russell
Published: March 2023

This paper synthesizes and summarizes a selection of literature—largely anthropological and ethnographic, published between the early 18th and early 21st centuries—that describes the practice of renaming a person who is physically ill in order to affect their recovery. In none of these publications is this particular practice central; rather, it is often mentioned alongside myriad other cultural and naming practices. While no claim is made as to the exhaustive nature of the literature review, this analysis reveals patterns and similarities related to the reasoning behind such a practice and the special relationship between personal names and physical health in a wide variety of world cultures.
'No, auntie, that's false': Challenges and resources of female baby boomers dealing with fake news on Facebook
Authors: Vargas-Bianchi Lizardo , Mateus Julio-César , Pecho-Ninapaytan Andrea , Zambrano-Zuta Stefany
Published: March 2023

The spread of fake news on social media networks is on the rise, prompting a special interest in identification and coping skills among news consumers so that they can filter out misleading information. Studies suggest seniors share more fake news on social media; despite this, there is little literature analysing how they behave when faced with fake news. This study examines how baby boomer women handle fake news on Facebook, and the role of family members in contributing to their digital literacy in dealing with this phenomenon. A qualitative thematic analysis study was conducted using information obtained from interviews; the findings revealed that participants recognised that they could identify fake news, but were not always able to do so because of a lack of supplemental information about the news’ context or doubt about its source. Interviewees also revealed that they turned to trusted family members to assist them in developing fake news identification and filtering skills.

Two cases of pneumomediastinum in full-term newborns after uncomplicated vaginal deliveries: Various etiologies and radiographic appearances
Authors: Duc Nguyen Quang , Doan Ngo Van , Martin Alvarez Plasencia Reinel , Anh Nguyen Van
Published: March 2023

Pnemomediastinum is defined as the presence of aberrant air in the mediastinum, also known as mediastinal emphysema. Significant pneumomediastinum is rare, particularly in term neonates. It is usually related to the different predisposing factors such as birth injury, meconium aspiration, assisted ventilation or infectious diseases although it may occur idiopathically. Pneumomediastinum is one of the important causes of respiratory distress syndrome that should not be overlook in term neonates. The elevation of thymic lobes off the heart on plain view and the presence of retrosternal air collection on lateral view are crucial signs on chest x-rays that need to be assessed cautiously by radiologists and neonatologists. We report two cases of pneumomediastinum in term infants who presented with respiratory distress. One case was diagnosed as pneumomediastinum and assisted ventilation was supposed as a predisposing factor, the other case was diagnosed as spontaneous pneumomediastinum without underlying lung disease or predisposing factors. The definitive diagnosis was made by combination plain and lateral chest x-rays without further imaging method was required.

Imbalance between exogenous damaging agents and protective factors in the gastro-duodenum tract can lead to peptic ulcer disease. Herbal medicines could be an effective treatment to human gastric ulcers. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of AGAR-HP hard capsules on cysteamine-induced gastric-duodenal ulcers in experimental rats. The animals were divided into five treatment groups: Group 1 (control) and group 2 (model) were treated with distilled water, group 3 received esomeprazole at 10 mg/kg, group 4 received AGAR-HP at 0.074 g/kg, and group 5 received AGAR-HP at 0.221 g/kg. All the rats were treated for seven consecutive days. On day 7, peptic-duodenal ulcer were induced by oral cysteamine 400 mg/kg. The number of rats with the ulcer, the number of ulcers per rat, and the ulcer index of each group were recorded. Compared to group 2, AGAR-HP at high dose reduced the mean number of ulcers and the ulcer index under macroscopic and microscopic examinations. These parameters also decreased in the group of AGAR-HP low doses compared to the cysteamine control group. AGAR-HP hard capsules showed some protective effect on cysteamine-induced gastric ulcers in experimental rats.

Many risk factors impact pregnant women's physical and emotional health. In addition, the rise of the COVID-19 epidemic brings with it a slew of unfavourable elements that continue to affect the health conditions of pregnant women, particularly frequent mental problems. This study was conducted to describe mental disorders in pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic and associated factors. The majority of 30 included articles were cross-sectional studies and one out of three were conducted in Asia. The review found that stress, anxiety and depression among pregnant women were significantly higher during the pandemic. Due to reduced exercise time, lack of social support, and limited communication due to social distancing. The higher number of women experiencing violence during the COVID-19 era is also a direct cause of the increased prevalence of common mental disorders. To improve this situation, it is necessary to have timely support from society, improve and continue antenatal care services, as well as provide adequate COVID-19-related information and its impact on the fetus.

Cervical cancer is really a public health problem that should be prioritized for prevention, interventions and early screening, especially in developing countries. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a Hanoi Medical University vaccination unit in 2018 to identify the prevalence of and related factors with cervical cancer screening among female clients in Hanoi, Vietnam. We collected data using a structured questionnaire among 405 female clients. The results showed that the prevalence of study participants who had the decision on cervical cancer screening was 79.5%. Associated factors of cervical cancer screening among female clients were have had sex with 1 person (OR= 42.5; 95%CI= 5.6-311.2), 2 people (OR= 29.7; 95%CI= 3.84- 230) and 3 people (OR= 41.6; 95%CI= 4.68- 369.9). There is a statistically significant relationship between two variables [average monthly income (OR= 2.79, 95%CI= 1.19- 6.56), and sex status (OR=20.9, 95%CI= 2.52- 173.39) with the decision to screen for cervical cancer. Enhancing the proportion of cervical cancer screening by fostering knowledge and awareness about human papillomavirus, and cervical cancer and using health services assessment will be highly recommended in Vietnam.

Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has been accepted as a standard treatment worldwide for patients suffering from acute anterior large vessel occlusion (AC-LVO) who can start early MT within 6 hours. However, in Vietnam, there remains a paucity of information regarding factors that can affect outcomes following this treatment. This study aimed to assess the clinical, imaging, and procedural factors related to good outcomes after MT for patients with AC-LVO within 4.5 hours. We analyzed data from 120 patients at Bach Mai hospital who had acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to AC-LVO and were treated with MT with and without intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) within 4.5 hours from December 2020 to September 2022. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the associations of clinical, imaging, and procedural variables with a good outcome. Overall, successful revascularization was achieved in 102/120 cases (85.0%) and 70 patients (58.3%) had a good outcome at 90 days. Successful revascularization (OR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.24-1.58; p<0.01), initial blood glucose level (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.85-0.87; p=0.046), and hemorrhagic transformation (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.76-0.90; p=0.02) were independent factors associated with good outcome at 90 days.
