Published: September 2022

daUniversidade de Valparaíso. Tive a sorte de participar de dois seminários que ali deu:um sobre as teses a Feuerbach de Marx e outro sobre Arthur Rimbaud. Me chamarama atenção profundamente algumas ideias que Fédier fazia pensar. Uma delas foi: “épreciso ser absolutamente modernos”, de Rimbaud; a outra, “falar por falar, tal é afórmula da liberação”, de Novalis. Um tanto desapontado, me perguntava se essejovem professor, acompanhado por seus estudantes de khâgne – homens e mulheres –, não estaria esquecendo-se da crítica de Heidegger à modernidade e o seuquestionamento do se diz, da fala cotidiana. O fato de estar usando calças boca de sinoaumentava a minha estranheza interiorana diante do visitante. Por sorte, a admiraçãoe respeito que suscitava entre os grandes mestres da filosofia no Chile fizeram comque tal suspeita se dissipasse rapidamente.

Published: September 2022

Text Summarization as a phenomenon has always been present and rather an evolving one with the advent of new technologies both in terms of data collection as well for the processing of this data. One reason of using text summarization is the huge amount of data floating over the internet in the form of text files, comments which is though potent enough to be used to extract useful information. but since the amount of text present in these sources is too huge, so the need of text summarization becomes justified by every argument. Some of the areas where text summarization is vastly used is applications involved in providing capsule information such as compact news applications, or websites providing academic notes for various examinations This paper presents an auto text summarizer application which takes the URL of a web page as input, performs summarization on the selected elements and then presents this summarized text content on the front end of a web application. At the backend, the process of scraping of web page content (if an http URL is provided as input) using beautiful soup library or reading of text provided takes place. news in short forms, or micro blogging websites. The scraped content after being preprocessed properly is summarized using a suitable library which in our case is one among NLTK, Spacy, Genism and Sumy. The summarized content is presented at the frontend using flask framework of Python. The results produced using different libraries are compared in the end in terms of reading time of the summarized content. The application uses extractive text summarization technique in order to achieve its result which is a compact summary of the textual data prepared from the keywords already present in the document.

Published: September 2022

The corona virus COVID-19 pandemic is causing a global health crisis so the effective protection methods is wearing a face mask in public areas according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The COVID-19 pandemic forced governments across the world to impose lockdown to prevent virus transmissions. Reports indicate that wearing facemasks while at work clearly reduces the risk of transmission. An efficient and economic approach of using AI to create a safe environment in a manufacturing setup. A hybrid model using deep and classical machine learning for face mask detection will be presented. A face mask detection dataset consists of with mask and without mask images, we are going to use OpenCV to do real-time face detection from a live stream via our webcam. We will use the dataset to build a COVID-19 face mask detector with computer vision using Python, OpenCV, and Tensor Flow and Keras. Our goal is to identify whether the person on image/video stream is wearing a face mask or not with the help of computer vision and deep learning. As a surveillance task performer, it can also detect a face along with a mask in motion. The method attains accuracy up to 95.77% and 94.58% respectively on two different datasets. We explore optimized values of parameters using the Sequential Convolutional Neural Network of Deep Learning model to detect the presence of masks correctly without causing over-fitting.
Effect of Some Environmental and Stainless Steel Metallurgical Variables on the Values of Degree of Sensitization Measured by the Double Loop-Electrochemical Potentiokinetic Reactivation Test
Authors: Altamirano Pablo M. , Kappes Mariano A. , Rodríguez Martín A.
Published: September 2022

The double loop-electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) method estimates the degree of sensitization in stainless steels with ir/ia, the ratio of peak current densities during reactivation (reverse) and activation (forward) scans. Beyond sensitization level, other metallurgical variables, like inclusion content and cold work, or testing environment variables, like solution deaeration and solution aging, could potentially affect ir/ia. Austenitic stainless steel Types AISI 304 (UNS S30400) and AISI 303 (UNS S30300) were tested to assess the effect of those secondary variables on ir/ia. AISI 303 stainless steel had similar chromium and nickel contents to AISI 304, but higher contents of sulfur, resulting in a higher volume fraction of inclusions. ir/ia increased with inclusion content and decreased with cold work in AISI 304 stainless steel. In all cases, the DL-EPR test could discriminate solubilized from thermally aged specimens because confidence intervals of respective samples never overlapped. The testing solution was 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 + 0.01 mol/L KSCN, (sulfuric acid and potassium thiocyanate solution) and a common practice is to freshly prepare it just before the test. Measurements are usually performed under deaerated conditions. However, deployment of the technique, especially in the field, could be facilitated if naturally aerated solutions prepared in advance in a laboratory can be used. The oxygen content in solution and solution aging did not have a statistically significant effect on ir/ia.
Agreement attraction error and timing profiles in continuous speech
Authors: Kandel Margaret , Wyatt Cassidy Rae , Phillips Colin
Published: September 2022

Studies of agreement attraction in language production have shown that speakers systematically produce verb agreement errors in the presence of a local noun whose features differ from that of the agreement controller. However, in attraction experiments, these errors only ever occur in a subset of trials. In the present study, we applied a naturalistic scene-description paradigm to investigate how attraction affects the distribution of errors and the time-course of correctly inflected verbs. We conducted our experiment both in the lab and in an unsupervised web-based setting. The results were strikingly similar across the experimental settings for both the error and timing analyses, demonstrating that it is possible to conduct production experiments via the internet with a high level of similarity to those done in the lab. The experiments replicated the basic number attraction effect, though they elicited comparable interference from both singular and plural local nouns, challenging common assumptions about a strong plural markedness effect in attraction. We observed slowdowns before correct verbs that paralleled the distribution of agreement errors, suggesting that the process resulting in attraction can be active even when no error is produced. Our results are easily captured by a model of agreement attraction in which errors arise at the point of computing agreement, rather than reflecting earlier errors made during initial encoding of the subject number.

Authors: Lima da Costa Claudia Maria
Published: September 2022

A educação profissional é uma proposta originariamente pertinente, pois não é possível conceber a ideia de sujeito inserido socialmente sem que construa laços de pertencimento, por meio da educação e do trabalho. O contexto de uma sociedade essencialmente desigual e contraditória influencia os modos de ser professor na educação profissional, imbricando-se comas percepções que os professores têm de si enquanto pessoa e como profissional, e dos processos de ensinar/aprender. Em face dessa realidade, este estudo partiu da seguinte problematização: que modos de ser professor são produzidos nas trajetórias docentes na educação profissional, na perspectiva de explicitar os conhecimentos da prática docente? Essa indagação ensejou o seguinte objetivo geral: investigar os modos de ser professor na educação profissional, explicitando os conhecimentos que subsidiam a prática docente. O objetivo geral teve como desdobramento as seguintes questões norteadoras: o que pensam os professores sobre ser professor na educação profissional? Que mudanças os professores efetivaram em seus modos de ensinar e de ser professor na educação profissional? Que atribuições os professores da educação profissional assumem no desenvolvimento da prática docente? Como os conhecimentos da formação e da experiência profissional contribuem para ar e elaboração dos modos de ser professor na educação profissional? Que conhecimentos são necessários para o desenvolvimento dos modos de ser professor na educação profissional? Construiu-se, por oportuno, a tese de que entre os modos de ser professor na educação profissional, enfatizam-se a formação técnica eos conhecimentos de conteúdos específicos dessa formação, embora seja possível ressaltar ações pontuais que visam a influenciar uma relação autônoma entre mundo do trabalho e mundo produtivo.

Indonesia is the largest nickel producer in the world. but from another aspect, the problem of ex-mining pits, combustion ash waste, nickel slag and others are environmental issues in the nickel mining industry (nikel.co.id, 2020). Currently, the Ministry of Industry through the research and development unit is trying to raise the potential of nickel slag or slag so that it can be used as industrial raw material that is in line with environmental management in the context of a sustainable economic program (antaranews.com, 2020). Based of this study was conducted on the use of nickel slag as a substitute for coarse aggregate in concrete. This research is an experimental study with the objectives of analyzing the physical and mechanical characteristics of nickel slag, analyzing the compressive strength of concrete using nickel slag as a substitute for coarse aggregate, and analyzing the optimal percentage of nickel slag used as a substitute for coarse aggregate. The results of this study indicate that the use of nickel slag as a substitute for coarse aggregate for 20 MPa concrete, and unable to achieve the planned average compressive strength of 20 MPa plus a margin of 12 MPa, resulted in a decrease in compressive strength and did not provide quality improvement. concrete. The application of nickel slag as a substitute for coarse aggregate in structural concrete with a design compressive strength ≥ 20 MPa is not recommended.

Published: September 2022

Diabetic foot syndrome is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus, often leading to severe consequences due to neurological disorders and a decrease in main blood flow due to atherosclerosis in the arteries of the lower extremities. The severity of these complications and the difficulty of their treatment make it necessary to carry out the earliest possible and accurate diagnosis of emerging pathological processes. It is noted that the main role in the diagnostic process belongs to instrumental methods. The technologies for applying each of the methods are briefly presented, their advantages and disadvantages are outlined. Timely application in practice of available diagnostic methods can help reduce the number of high amputations, reduce the volume of resected foot fragments.

Published: September 2022

In some cases, in the depressive symptoms of schizophrenia, the phenomenon of mental pain or «vital melancholy» is traced, which often has an obsessive nature and proceeds with suicidal intentions. The low effect of existing methods of therapy of this condition with the help of psychopharmacotherapy is noted. In this study, the authors attempted to additionally influence this symptom complex using binaural stimulation of the brain, along with psychopharmacotherapy. The authors used Th e Psychach e Scal e t o asses s mental pain and measure it numerically, and the PANSS scale to diagnose the clinical symptoms of schizophrenia. In the main group of patients receiving binaural brain stimulation, it was possible to achieve better treatment results for a number of symptoms related to the negative cluster, the cluster of general symptoms and one more additional symptom: emotional lability than in the control group that did not receive this specific additional treatment. The use of binaural brain stimulation in combination with drug therapy has significantly reduced the severity of mental pain in patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract. New particle formation (NPF) is an important source of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), which affects Earth’s radiative balance and global climate. The mechanism and CCN contribution of NPF at the high-altitude mountains, especially in the Tibetan Plateau (TP), was unclear due to lack of measurements. In this study, intensive measurements were conducted at Nam Co station (4379 m a.s.l) in the central TP during both pre-monsoon and summer monsoon seasons. The frequencies of NPF events exhibited extreme distinction with 15 % in pre-monsoon season and 80 % in monsoon season. The level of organic vapours governed the occurrence of NPF events, while condensation sink and gaseous sulfuric acid had no effect. The frequent NPF events in summer monsoon season resulted from the higher concentration of organic vapours, which was brought from northeast India by the strong southerly monsoon. It had increased the aerosol number concentrations and CCN at supersaturation of 1.2 % by more than 2 and 0.5 times compared with those in pre-monsoon season, respectively. Considering that the smaller particles formed by NPF may further grow and reach CCN size during the following days due to the low-level coagulation sink, the amount of potential CCN in monsoon season could be much larger than our local measurement results. Our results emphasized the importance of organics to NPF in high-altitude atmosphere, and the seasonal effect of NPF at the high-altitude sites should be carefully considered in model simulations to reduce the uncertainty of global CCN budget.
Extending water vapor measurement capability of photon-limited differential absorption lidars through simultaneous denoising and inversion
Authors: Marais Willem J. , Hayman Matthew
Published: September 2022

Abstract. The micropulse differential absorption lidar (MPD) was developed at Montana State University (MSU) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to perform range-resolved water vapor (WV) measurements using low-power lasers and photon-counting detectors. The MPD has proven to produce accurate WV measurements up to 6 km altitude. However, the MPD's ability to produce accurate higher-altitude WV measurements is impeded by the current standard differential absorption lidar (DIAL) retrieval methods. These methods are built upon a fundamental methodology that algebraically solves for the WV using the MPD forward models and noisy observations, which exacerbates any random noise in the lidar observations. The work in this paper introduces the adapted Poisson total variation (PTV) specifically for the MPD instrument. PTV was originally developed for a ground-based high spectral resolution lidar, and this paper reports on the adaptations that were required in order to apply PTV on MPD WV observations. The adapted PTV method, coined PTV-MPD, extends the maximum altitude of the MPD from 6 to 8 km and substantially increases the accuracy of the WV retrievals starting above 2 km. PTV-MPD achieves the improvement by simultaneously denoising the MPD noisy observations and inferring the WV by separating the random noise from the non-random WV. An analysis with 130 radiosonde (RS) comparisons shows that the relative root-mean-square difference (RRMSE) of WV measurements between RS and PTV-MPD exceeds 100 % between 6 and 8 km, whereas the RRMSE between RS and the standard method exceeds 100 % near 3 km. In addition, we show that by employing PTV-MPD, the MPD is able to extend its useful range of WV estimates beyond that of the ARM Southern Great Plains Raman lidar (RRMSE exceeding 100 % between 3 and 4 km); the Raman lidar has a power-aperture product 500 times greater than that of the MPD.
Revisiting and attributing the global controls on terrestrial ecosystem functions of climate and plant traits at FLUXNET sites with causal networks
Authors: Shi Haiyang , Luo Geping , Hellwich Olaf , Kurban Alishir , De Maeyer Philippe , Van de Voorde Tim
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Using statistical methods that do not emphasize the systematic causality to attribute climate and plant traits to control ecosystem function may produce biased perceptions. We revisit this issue using a Bayesian network (BN) capable of quantifying causality. Based on expert knowledge and climate, vegetation, and ecosystem function data from the FLUXNET flux stations, we constructed a BN containing the causal relationship of 'climate-plant trait-ecosystem function'. Based on the sensitivity analysis function of the BN, we attributed the control of climate and plant traits to ecosystem function and compared the results with those based on Random forests and correlation analysis. The main conclusions of this study include: BN can be used for the quantification of causal relationships between complex ecosystems and climatic and environmental systems, and enables the analysis of indirect effects among variables. The control of ecosystem function by climate variables (especially mean temperature and mean vapor pressure deficit) may have been underestimated previously, and the mechanism of indirect effects of climate variables on ecosystem function through plant traits should be emphasized in future studies. Further inclusion of temporal information in BN holds promise for improving the analysis of lagged effects and interactions and feedback effects between variables.
GloLakes: a database of global lake water storage dynamics from 1984 to present derived using laser and radar altimetry and optical remote sensing
Authors: Hou Jiawei , Van Dijk Albert I. J. M. , Renzullo Luigi J. , Larraondo Pablo R.
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Measurements of the spatiotemporal dynamics of lake and reservoir water storage are fundamental in the assessment of the influence of climate variability and anthropogenic activities on water quantity and quality, as well as wetland ecology and the estimating greenhouse gas emissions from lakes. Previous studies estimated relative water volume changes for lakes where both satellite-derived extent and radar altimetry data are available. This approach is limited to only few hundreds of lakes worldwide. In this study, the number of measured lakes was increased by a factor 400 using high-resolution Landsat and Sentinel-2 optical remote sensing and ICESat-2 laser altimetry in addition to radar altimetry from the Topex/Poseidon, Jason-1, -2 and -3, and Sentinel-3 instruments. Time series of relative (i.e., storage change) or absolute (i.e., total stored volume) storage for more than 170,000 lakes globally with a surface area of at least 1 km2 (representing 99 % of the total volume of all water stored in lakes and reservoirs globally) were retrieved. Within these, we were able to develop an automated workflow for near real-time global lake monitoring of more than 27,000 lakes. The historical and near real-time lake storage dynamics data for 1984 to current are publicly available through https://doi.org/10.25914/K8ZF-6G46 (Hou et al., 2022).
Improved CASA model based on satellite remote sensing data: simulating net primary productivity of Qinghai Lake basin alpine grassland

Published: September 2022

Abstract. The Carnegie–Ames–Stanford Approach (CASA) model is widely used to estimate vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) at regional scales. However, the CASA is still driven by multisource data, e.g. satellite remote sensing (RS) data, and ground observations that are time-consuming to obtain. RS data can conveniently provide real-time regional information and may replace ground observation data to drive the CASA model. We attempted to improve the CASA model in this study using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) RS products, the GlobeLand30 RS product, and the digital elevation model data derived from radar RS. We applied it to simulate the NPP of alpine grasslands in the Qinghai Lake basin, which is located in the northeastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, China. The accuracy of the RS-data-driven CASA, with a mean absolute percent error (MAPE) of 22.14 % and root mean square error (RMSE) of 26.36 g C m−2 per month, was higher than that of the multisource-data-driven CASA, with a MAPE of 44.80 % and RMSE of 57.43 g C m−2 per month. The NPP simulated by the RS-data-driven CASA in July 2020 shows an average value of 108.01 ± 26.31 g C m−2 per month, which is similar to published results and comparable with the measured NPP. The results of this work indicate that simulating alpine grassland NPP with satellite RS data rather than ground observations is feasible. We may provide a workable reference for rapid simulation of grassland NPP to satisfy the requirements of accounting carbon stocks and other applications.
Meghalayan environmental evolution of the Thapsus coast (Tunisia) as inferred from sedimentological and micropaleontological proxies
Authors: Kamoun Mohamed , Langer Martin R. , Zaibi Chahira , Ben Youssef Mohamed
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Thapsus was one of the Roman Empire's largest harbors and is situated next to an easily defended promontory on Tunisia's coast in northern Africa. It was provided with a huge stone and cement breakwater mole that extended almost 1 km into the sea. We examined sedimentological and micropaleontological proxies from 14C-dated core material and shifts in microfauna and macrofauna community structure to infer patterns of sediment dynamics and the chronology of events that shaped the coastal evolution in the Dzira Lagoon at Thapsus over the past 4000 years. The sedimentological and faunal record of environmental changes reflect a sequence of events that display a transition from an open to a semi-closed lagoon environment. At around 4070 cal yr BP and again between 2079 and 1280 cal yr BP, the data reveal two transgressive events and a deposition of sandy sediments in a largely open marine lagoon environment. The transgressive sands overlay marine carbonate sandstones that are upper Pleistocene in age. A gradual closure of the lagoon from 1280 cal yr BP until today is indicated by decreasing species richness values, lower abundances of typical marine taxa, and increasing percent abundances of fine-grained sediments. The environmental transition from an open to a closed lagoon setting was also favored by the construction of an extensive harbor breakwater mole, changes in longshore current drift patterns, and the formation of an extensive sand spit.
Nursing discernment and response to suffering at the end of life in acute care: A grounded theory study
Authors:   , Blaber Cheryl
Published: September 2022

This grounded theory study explored patient suffering at the end of life in acute care, as experienced by those caring for them. Being present at this time can challenge nurses, who face the multifaceted nature of non-physical suffering and a ‘fracture of personhood’. Nursing discernment and response to suffering were contextualised and interpreted. This generated new theoretical understanding not only of suffering, but of how the treatment-orientated paradigm of acute care impacts nursing’s identity and voice. Further analysis resulted in the theory of dying denied. Nursing identity and dying denied are interrelated, and a model of reciprocal compassion is proposed.

This research advocated for the acceptance of alternative training pathways and shaped postgraduate medical education and workforce planning. Through a mixed-methods approach, this thesis constructs a historical timeline as the foundation for a critical analysis of the professionalization of operative gynaecology and establishes the main reasons for advanced training as the development of surgical competency, recognition, certification, and involvement in academic activities, emphasizing the training unit, surgical case load, a structured curriculum and peer group.
Race in North Korea's perspective: race as a typological entity
Authors:   The Paek-San Society, Lee Hyeong Woo
Published: September 2022

Human racial studies in North Korea have been introduced as early as the 1940s. These works have been consolidated to a coherent discipline in the interests of human studies in general. The initial term of human races in North Korea has focused attention on a rather biological aspect. The human races are classified in a morpho-typological sense; these are regarded as biologically diverse units, not arbitrary units. Currently, the term has not only been determined as biological forms, but also been regarded as socio-cultural units. The Northern scholars have deeply considered the racial process had occurred during a specific period of time determined by physical and social cultural traits. They argued the period had occurred after the introduction of modern humans(i.e. Homo sapiens). It is also socially defined as the period of a matriarchal and patriarchal society. At the same time, it can be correlated to the post-Paleolithic cultural period. Such a uniquely generated scheme is partly related to the classic physical anthropological theory and method under colonial influence and the unilinear model of social changes under Soviet influence.

Background: Damage to the periodontium tissue requires a regenerative treatment to increase the dimensions of the lost bone. This research was conducted to find another regenerative material with the use of type 1 collagen peptides derived from gourami fish scales. This study was conducted to test the viability of gourami scales collagen peptides on Human Gingival Fibroblast cells for 24 hours. Purpose: To determine the viability of Human Gingival Fibroblasts (HGF) after the administration of collagen peptides of gourami fish scales. Method: HGF was taken from healthy gingiva and planted in 96 well plates. The type 1 collagen peptides of gourami fish scales with concentrations of 0.32 mg / ml, 0.16 mg / ml, 0.04 mg / ml, 0.02 mg / ml and 0.01 mg / ml were inserted into each well and incubated for 24 hours. MTT Assay was performed to see the viability of fibroblast cells. Results: There was an increase in the viability value from a concentration of 0.32 mg/ml to 0.01 mg/ml. The concentration of 0.01 mg/ml showed the highest viability. Conclusion: The collagen peptide is a potential substance for tissue engineering. The concentration of 0.01 mg/ml collagen peptides shows the highest HGF viability.

Herbal plants contain substances of medicinal values or precursors for synthesis of important drugs, however, not much have been done in terms of standardization and effective delivery system. Various routes can be employed to deliver herbs, but the topical route is the safest. In this study, aqueous and ethanolic extractions of Andrographis paniculata were carried out. Antimicrobial screening of the extract before and after incorporation into cream base was carried out using standard antimicrobial agents as positive control. Formulated creams were evaluated for organoleptic properties, pH, spreadability, viscosity and stability. Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were used for the sensitivity studies. Percentage yield for ethanolic and aqueous extracts were 17.5%w/w and 13.33%w/w respectively. Both microbes were sensitive to pure ethanolic extract and creams formulated from ethanolic extract, but resistant to aqueous extract. Zones of inhibition for the ethanolic extract ranged from 7.33 ± 0.58 mm to 14.00 ± 0.00 mm (Candida albicans) and 6.00 ± 1.00 mm to 12.33 ± 0.58 mm (Staphylococcus aureus). Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations, MICs, were 25 mg/mL and 200 mg/mL for Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus respectively. The MIC for the formulated cream (15% w/w) was 150 mg/mL for both organisms. The pH of formulated creams ranged from 5.54 to 6.84; the viscosity, 18,800 to 60,500 mPas. The spreadability values were between 37.5 ± 0 and 75.0 ± 0.2 g.cm/s. All formulated creams were stable. Thus herbal creams formulated from Andrographis paniculata ethanolic extract retained the antimicrobial properties of the extract and as such can be applied topically for the treatment of skin diseases involving these microorganisms.

Objective: To investigate the occurrence of caries associated with restorations in primary molars. Methods: Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (n=50) and compomer (n=50) restorations of primary molars were made in 100 children. The restorations were clinically evaluated on the 3rd, 6th, 12th and 18th month with the FDI criteria. Results: On the 3rd month recall, all restorations showed excellent clinical assessment scores for all FDI criteria. In regard to secondary caries, on the 6th month, clinically unacceptable was only one restoration. In the 12th month, 19.00% of the restorations were diagnosed with caries adjacent to the restoration. The relative share of secondary caries lesions assessed in restorations from glass ionomer cement (27.27%) was higher than that from compomer material (14.28%), as well as the restorations on the occlusal surface (38.46%), compared to those on the proximal surfaces (7.40%). Caries associated with restorations was diagnosed more frequently in relation to the caries lesions assessed as active at the first visit (29.62%) compared to the inactive lesions (7.69%). At the 18th month recall, the relative share of restorations diagnosed with secondary caries was lower (8.00%). Conclusion: The type of restorative material, type of affected surface and the activity of the carious lesion are factors that may influence the occurrence of caries associated with restorations in primary molars. Our study showed that a critical moment for the clinical condition of the followed restorations is the 12th month of the treatment.

Purpose

To provide an updated overview of recent literature regarding the clinical indications, management, and outcomes of humeral avulsions of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) lesion.

Methods

Medline, Cochrane and Embase were systematically searched using keywords “humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament” and others to identify studies reporting on management of HAGL lesions. Studies were double-screened and reviewed by two blinded authors according to selection criteria. Data was systematically extracted on the following topics: demographics, mechanism of injury, indication for treatment, treatment, post-operative complications, associated injuries, and outcomes including clinical outcome scores, clinical evaluations, and return to activity.

Results

There were 14 studies included that evaluated a total of 119 patients with HAGL lesions. In these studies, 69% of patients were male with a mean age of 24 years. Sports (23.5%) and fitness training (41.2%) were the most common injury mechanisms. Instability was the most common indication for treatment, followed by pain and recurrent dislocations. 85 associated lesions were reported, with non-descript labral tears (34.5%) and Bankart lesions (22.4%) being the most common. Out of patients treated, 117 of 119 patients were treated operatively, with 60 open and 57 arthroscopic procedures. A variety of clinical outcome scores showed postoperative functional shoulder improvement and 97% of patients were able to return to some level of activity.

Conclusions

HAGL lesions commonly present with associated injuries, necessitating a high clinical awareness of their presentation and management options to prevent undiagnosed lesions that can lead to persistent instability and pain. Surgical management yields good clinical outcomes.

Abstract: Objectives: Various dynamic navigation systems have been developed to enhance the accuracy of implant positioning and prevent damage to anatomical structures such as the inferior alveolar nerve and maxillary sinus during osteotomies. This case report aims to demonstrate a surgical method that combines a dynamic navigation system with crestal sinus lifting and simultaneous implant placement in the maxillary molar region. Materials and Methods: Two systemically healthy patients with extraction and socket preservation of a hopeless maxillary second molar were included in the study. Preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed limited residual bone height for implant placement after the healing period. Virtual planning of the implant was conducted using dynamic navigation planning software. Both patients underwent crestal sinus lifting through hydraulic pressure and simultaneous single implant placement assisted by the dynamic navigation system. Postoperative CBCT was performed 6 to 7 months after the implant placement to evaluate the implant position and increase in bone height. The postoperative implant position and orientation were compared to the preoperative virtual plan. Results: In both cases, the surgeries were uneventful and no postoperative complications occurred. Postoperative evaluation revealed that the global platform deviation was 1.60 and 2.24 mm, the global apex deviation was 1.46 and 2.13 mm, and angular deviation was 1.18° and 5.50° in case 1 and case 2, respectively. Conclusion: Combined dynamic navigation system with crestal sinus lifting by hydraulic pressure and simultaneous implant placement is a safe, accurate, and reduced morbidity surgical protocol in the maxillary molar region.
