Comparison of Methodologies for Selection of Bone Cements for
Orthopaedic Surgical Procedures
Authors: Lewis Gladius
Published: March 2022

Background:

Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement is widely used in ortho-paedic procedures of vertebroplasty (VP) balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) and cemented total joint arthro-plasty (TJA). While only very few PMMA bone cement brands are approved (by the appropriate regulatory authority) for VP and BKP, many are approved for cemented TJA. Selection of cement for these applications must be done considering a very large number of clinically relevant properties, such as injectability, setting time, maximum polymerization temperature, polymerization rate, com-pressive strength, fracture toughness, fatigue life, and cytocompatibility. In the literature, there is a shortage of studies on methodologies for the selection of PMMA bone cement.

Purpose:

The present work addresses the aforementioned shortcoming of the literature.

Methods:

Three material selection methodologies (Desirability, Utility, and Weighted Property Index Methods) were applied to two study sets. Study Set 1 comprised three experimental types of bone cement for VP or BKP and five in vitro values of clinically-relevant cement properties and Set 2 comprised six approved antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) brands for cemented TJA and in vitro values of four clinically-relevant cement properties.

Results:

For each of the study sets, slight differences in the ranks of the materials were found de-pending on the selection methodology used, but when all the selection methodologies were consid-ered, there was clear differentiation in ranks. The relative attractions and challenges of the three se-lection methodologies used are highlighted.

Conclusion:

Decision makers in orthopaedic hospitals and clinics as well as orthopaedic surgeons, should find the results of the present study useful.

Este libro se ocupa de prácticas artísticas realizadas en territorios del conflicto armado en Colombia. Este contacto con el territorio transformó la manera de asumir la relación entre arte y violencia, una relación permanente en la historia del arte colombiano desde la década del 40. En este cambio de relación, la dimensión del duelo y la metáfora del cementerio resultan centrales: más que la denuncia, la concientización o la sensibilización del público, el arte busca saldar las deudas simbólicas con los muertos y los desaparecidos. Por otro lado, estas prácticas han construido dispositivos de activación del habla que cumplen un papel importante en la construcción de memoria histórica. Esta investigación asume una posición: reconocer el potencial simbólico del arte para exteriorizar los “dolores heredados”, una forma de contrarrestar la repetición de la violencia en forma de venganza (“los odios heredados”). En ese sentido, el dolor no se asume de manera pasiva sino a partir de su potencial: el que se articula comunitariamente y crea vínculos de solidaridad, tanto afectivos como políticos.
The Enthusiasm of Political Sequences: Notes on Sylvain Lazarus's Anthropology of the Name
Authors: Doniger Bryan
Published: March 2022

In Anthropology of the Name, Sylvain Lazarus warns us against subordinating radical political thinking to its relationship with extant social reality. When we attribute thought to historical or social prerequisites that supposedly ‘determine’ it, we deny that thinking can challenge what already is. By contrast, radical politics contest the extant and create new social possibilities. For Lazarus, ‘enthusiasm’ is the disposition that accompanies transformational politics. This article distinguishes Lazarus’ ‘enthusiasm’ from Alain Badiou’s ‘fidelity.’ I argue, contra most English-speaking interpreters, that Lazarus’ theory of politics is a) distinct from Badiou’s and b) more helpful for understanding moments of political resistance.

En este estudio se analizó la relación de la temperatura (T), humedad relativa (HR) e índice de temperatura-humedad (ITH) sobre la mortalidad y el peso corporal de cuyes (Cavia porcellus) de la línea sintética en la ciudad de Moquegua, Perú. Para ello, se evaluaron 157 cuyes entre octubre del 2019 y marzo del 2020, a través del análisis de la variabilidad y los niveles de asociación entre T, HR, ITH, mortalidad y peso. Los datos fueron procesados en STATA IC14. Los resultados de T, HR e ITH registrados mensualmente mostraron cambios altamente significativos (p < 0,001), al igual que el peso entre machos y hembras (p < 0,05). Los coeficientes de correlación estadísticamente significativos se hallaron entre el peso de cuyes machos y T a la semana 4 (r = -0,345) y a la 6 (r = -0,352); HR, a la semana 4 (r = -0,388) y a la 6 (r = -0,387); e ITH, a la semana 4 (r = -0,387) y a la 6 (r = -0,374). No se demostró correlación entre la mortalidad e ITH (p > 0,05); además, se observó un incremento en la mortalidad en situación de estrés (ITH > 72). El incremento de peso de cuyes machos mostró tendencia lineal a ITH ≤ 72 (r2 = 0,993) e ITH > 72 (r2 = 0,994). De igual manera, el incremento de peso de las hembras mostró tendencia lineal a ITH ≤ 72 (r2 = 0,996) e ITH > 72 (r2 = 0,997).
Assessing Trauma Management in Urban and Rural Populations in Norway: A National Register-Based Research Protocol
Authors: Nilsbakken Inger Marie Waal , Sollid Stephen , Wisborg Torben , Jeppesen Elisabeth
Published: March 2022

Background

Time is considered an essential determinant in the initial care of trauma patients. In Norway, response time (ie, time from dispatch center call to ambulance arrival at scene) is a controversial national quality indicator. However, no national requirements for response times have been established. There is an ongoing debate regarding the optimal configuration of the Norwegian trauma system. The recent centralization of trauma services and closure of emergency hospitals have increased prehospital transport distances, predominantly for rural trauma patients. However, the impact of trauma system configuration on early trauma management in urban and rural areas is inadequately described.

Objective

The project will assess injured patients’ initial pathways through the trauma system and explore differences between central and rural areas in a Norwegian trauma cohort. This field is unexplored at the national level, and existing evidence for an optimal organization of trauma care is still inconclusive regarding the impact of prehospital time.

Methods

Three quantitative registry-based retrospective cohort studies are planned. The studies are based on data from the Norwegian Trauma Registry (NTR; studies 1, 2, and 3) and the local Emergency Medical Communications Center (study 2). All injured patients admitted to a Norwegian hospital and registered in the NTR in the period between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2020, will be included in the analysis. Trauma registry data will be analyzed using descriptive and relevant statistical methods to compare prehospital time in rural and central areas, including regression analyses and adjusting for confounders.

Results

The project received funding in fall 2020 and was approved by the Oslo University Hospital data protection officer, case number 18/02592. Registry data including approximately 40,000 trauma patients will be extracted during the first quarter of 2022, and analysis will begin immediately thereafter. Results are expected to be ready for publication from the third quarter of 2022.

Conclusions

Findings from the study will contribute to new knowledge regarding existing quality indicators and with an increasing centralization of hospitals and residents, the study will contribute to further development of the Norwegian trauma system. A high generalizability to other trauma systems is expected, given the similarities between demographical changes and trauma systems in many high-income countries.

Epidemiology, Secondary School Curricula, and Preparing the Next Generation for Global Citizenship
Authors: Basch Charles E , Basch Corey H
Published: March 2022

Because COVID-19 and other emerging infectious diseases are likely to play an increasingly important role in shaping American and global society in years to come, there is a need to prepare young people to make informed decisions in this changing global context. One way to do so is teaching and learning about basic principles of epidemiology in secondary schools. Improved understanding about the agent of infection, mechanisms of transmission, factors that increase or decrease susceptibility, place variation and environmental factors that facilitate or hinder transmission, reservoirs of infection (where the agent lives and multiplies), and when the disease is more or less likely to occur comprise the main facts about an infectious disease relevant to prevention and control. Improved understanding of these basic concepts could help future generations make informed decisions in a changing global context with emerging infectious diseases and a plethora of widely disseminated misinformation and disinformation. This viewpoint considers why learning about epidemiology in secondary school would benefit population health using COVID-19 as an illustration.

Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Scoring systems developed for predicting survival after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) show suboptimal prediction power, and various factors affect posttransplantation outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

A prediction model using a machine learning–based algorithm can be an alternative for concurrently applying multiple variables and can reduce potential biases. In this regard, the aim of this study is to establish and validate a machine learning–based predictive model for survival after allogeneic HCT in patients with hematologic malignancies.

METHODS

Data from 1470 patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent allogeneic HCT between December 1993 and June 2020 at Asan Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea, were retrospectively analyzed. Using the gradient boosting machine algorithm, we evaluated a model predicting the 5-year posttransplantation survival through 10-fold cross-validation.

RESULTS

The prediction model showed good performance with a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.788 (SD 0.03). Furthermore, we developed a risk score predicting probabilities of posttransplantation survival in 294 randomly selected patients, and an agreement between the estimated predicted and observed risks of overall death, nonrelapse mortality, and relapse incidence was observed according to the risk score. Additionally, the calculated score demonstrated the possibility of predicting survival according to the different transplantation-related factors, with the visualization of the importance of each variable.

CONCLUSIONS

We developed a machine learning–based model for predicting long-term survival after allogeneic HCT in patients with hematologic malignancies. Our model provides a method for making decisions regarding patient and donor candidates or selecting transplantation-related resources, such as conditioning regimens.
A Value-Driven Economic Impact Model to Understand Health System ROI for Digital Interventions: A Diabetes-Focused Example (Preprint)
Authors: Powers Brenton , Bucher Amy
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Diabetes is associated with significant costs for both patients and health systems. Regular primary care visits aligned with American Diabetes Association guidelines could help mitigate those costs. Digital interventions prompting those visits among unengaged patients could provide significant economic value back to the health system as well as individual patients, but few economic models have been put forth to understand this value.

OBJECTIVE

This paper presents a data-driven model for estimating the economic impact for a health system of an email and text message intervention that drives appropriate primary care usage among patients with diabetes who have been historically unengaged with their care.

METHODS

We developed a model that segments patients with diabetes according to their level of blood sugar control as measured by their most recent HbA1c value. The model takes into consideration the population base rates of comorbid conditions for patients with diabetes, as well as physician reimbursement rates, inpatient admissions avoided, and historical impact of digital health solutions.

RESULTS

We present a conceptual model to measure the economic impact of an email and text message-based intervention used with patients with documented diabetes diagnoses and calculate a return on investment for a health care system implementing it for their population. The model offers a method to understand and test the financial impact of a primary care-focused diabetes population inclusive of costs driven by comorbid conditions.

CONCLUSIONS

The proposed economic model can offer a holistic way for health systems to understand the economic benefits delivered by interventions focused on primary care and prevention for patients with diabetes.

Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

People may endorse suicidal behavior during a major depressive episode. Affective temperaments may play a role in this risk.

OBJECTIVE

We explored the relationship between affective temperaments and suicide and identified some traits that can predict suicide risk in depression.

METHODS

We analyzed the results of Temperament Evaluation of the Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Auto-questionnaire (TEMPS-A) in 284 participants recruited from a psychiatric clinic and the community in Beijing and compared the subscale scores (cyclothymic, dysthymic, anxious, irritable and hyperthymic) among major depressive disorder (MDD) versus the general population as well as depressive patients with versus without suicide risk, using student’s test, Chi-square test, rank sum test, and multivariable regression modeling.

RESULTS

The incidence of suicidal risk in depressive subjects was 47.62% (80/168). Being unmarried (P<0.001), unemployment (P=0.007) and temperaments of dysthymic, cyclothymic, anxious, and irritable scores (all P<0.001) were significantly more prevalent in depressive patients than in the general population. A young age (P<0.001), female sex (P=0.037), being unmarried (P=0.001), more severe depression (P<0.001), and dysthymic, anxious and cyclothymic temperament (all P<0.05) were significantly more prevalent in depressive disorder patients with than without suicide risk. The logistic regression analysis showed that younger age (OR=0.937, 95% CI 0.905~0.970), female sex (OR=2.606, 95% CI 1.142~5.948), more severe depression (OR=1.145, 95% CI 1.063~1.234), cyclothymic temperament (OR=1.275, 95% CI 1.102~1.475) and dysthymic temperament (OR=1.265, 95% CI 1.037~1.542) were all independently associated with high suicidal risk in first-onset major depressive patients (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Temperament traits differ between the general population and people suffering from major depressive disorder. Major depressive disorder subjects with much more severe depressive symptoms and cyclothymic or dysthymic temperament were at high risk of suicide.

Authors: Patidar Gaurav , Pandey Ankur
Published: March 2022

Abstract: The construction of high-rise reinforced concrete buildings, mainly in major cities, is on the flow. So, as the structure becomes tall, it becomes sensitive to lateral loads like wind load and earthquake load. So, it is very important that the building should be safe in dynamic loads because it varies in magnitude with time. This paper presents a summary of research work already done in the seismic & wind analysis of multi-storied buildings with different irregular and complex plan shapes. The effect of shear wall, variation of seismic zone & wind speed also considered along with it. Methods used in the analysis of the seismic & wind analysis for different shaped buildings by different researchers are studied. The Effect of plan shape are studied in this paper in terms of storey drift, lateral displacement, base shear, storey shear, soft storey, axial force, moments, etc. Keywords: Plan irregularity, conventional RC framed, Seismic loading, ETABS, STAAD Pro.

The Little Country That Could: Latvian Economic Relations and Foreign Trade with Various Countries in the Interwar Period
Authors:   University of Latvia, Karnups Viesturs Pauls
Published: March 2022

Latvia between the wars was a small open economy on the periphery of Europe. Latvia had not only to contend with the necessity of rebuilding an economy shattered by war, but also with the loss of the former Russian market and hence a need to completely re-orientate its economy to Europe and the rest of the world. Despite Rīga being one of the largest industrial centres of Tsarist Russia before World War One, Latvia had to restructure its economy to one based on agriculture and forestry and was throughout the interwar years highly dependent upon agricultural and forestry product exports as the mainstay of her foreign trade.

Return of Myth, Myth Resources, and the Contemporaneity of Mythology in Korea and China Today
Authors: Hong Yoonhee
Published: March 2022

Nowadays, myth is being used as a kind of cultural resource. Myth has been the source of inspiration for creating literature and art in the past as well, but with globalization and rapidly-changing media environment, the modes of myth resourcization have become more complex and diversified in the 21st century. This paper introduces the concepts that emerged in the mythological circles of Korea and China under these circumstances such as the "return of myth," "neo-mythologism," and "mythologism", and examines a few examples of myth being utilized as resources to get a glimpse of the economic, academic, and national desires that can be found in the myth resourcization. Additionally, it also seeks possibilities for new creation that is beyond these desires, and discusses how we should understand the "contemporaneity of mythology."
The Politicality of Modern Japan: Korea Editions’ Use of Korean Literature
Authors: Ozaki Natsuko
Published: March 2022

It is well known that the editor of Modern Japan (Modan Nippon), published by Bungei Shunju, was Ma Haesong, a native of the Korean peninsula. Although Modern Japan fell short of attaining the same level of popularity as Kōdansha’s King (Kingu), it reached a broader range of readers than the rival modern magazine New Youth (Shin seinen), associated with the important writers Edogawa Ranpo and Yokomizo Seishi. Indeed, Modern Japan cultivated a profile somewhere between that of King and New Youth. However, perhaps due to its middling status, the magazine has yet to be the subject of a comprehensive study in any of the fields of literary, cultural, or publishing studies. This paper looks specifically at two special extra editions of Modern Japan, called the Korea Editions, published in 1939 and 1940 respectively. These special editions contained a hybrid of both state propagandistic elements and editor Ma Haesong’s perspective on his homeland. Although there is some extant research on the Korea Editions from several points of view, there is still room for a detailed analysis of how exactly Korean writers and literary works were introduced in their pages, and what type of literature was included. Specifically, this paper examines the literary criticism of Kim Saryang and Han Sik, clarifying their differing appraisals of the contemporary literary situation. Then, it analyzes the style and content of Pak T’aewŏn’s short story, “A Street Darkly” (Michi ha kuraki wo). Through highlighting this combination of perspectives, I hope to illuminate the politicality of Modern Japan realized through a rereading of the Korea Editions.
Missing Keystones: Echoes of Empire in Kobayashi Masaru’s “Bridge Building”
Authors: Lambrecht Nicholas
Published: March 2022

Postwar writings by and about Japanese repatriates often serve to illustrate the incomplete nature of Japanese decolonization. While the process of repatriation physically removed Japanese colonists from the former empire, it also deferred the necessary process of coming to terms with Japan’s imperial past. This article examines how unresolved memories of empire reemerge in the postwar writings of Kobayashi Masaru (1927–1971), a Japanese author who was born and raised in colonial Korea. Through an analysis of Kobayashi’s Akutagawa Prize-nominated short story “Bridge Building” (“Kakyō,” 1960), set in Japan during the Korean War, it shows that although Kobayashi depicts Japanese and Korean characters who are united by a common goal and their past experiences of imperial violence, the gap between them remains insurmountable. The article contends that Kobayashi’s work represents an attempt to counteract romanticized repatriation narratives that had been coopted for new nationalist ends at the beginning of the Cold War.

Published: March 2022

Aim: Renal function is an important covariate to describe variability in
clearance of renally eliminated drugs. Estimating glomerular filtration
rate (GFR) should account for differences in size, age and body
composition consistently when using GFR to determine drug dosage. We
aimed to develop a continuous model for renal function from prematurity
to adulthood based on models for fat free mass (FFM), creatinine
production rate (CPR) and GFR. Methods: A model for fractional FFM in
premature neonates to adults was developed using pooled data from 4462
subjects and 2847 FFM observations. Data from 108 subjects with
measurements of serum creatinine and GFR were used to construct a model
for CPR by assuming that CLcr is equal to GFR. A previously published
model for human GFR was updated using the model for fractional FFM and
accounting for the effects of maturation and birth. Together these
models were used to predict renal function. Results: Girls have a FFM
larger than that predicted from adult women based on height, weight and
sex. Boys have a FFM lower than adult men predicted FFM until around the
onset of puberty, when it approaches adult values. CPR can be predicted
using FFM, post menstrual age and sex and avoids discontinuous
predictions between neonates, children and adults. The updated model for
GFR maturation was used to describe expected normal GFR. Renal function
calculated from the ratio of individual CLcr to normal GFR. Conclusion:
Continuous models for FFM, CPR and GFR predict renal function
independent of age and size.
Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of Arabic gum microgels modified with methacrylic acid as potential drug carriers
Authors: Ibrahim Sani , Misran Misni , Teo Yin
Published: March 2022

Microgels of carbohydrate polymers are non-toxic and biocompatible that can readily be used in applications such as drug delivery, medicine, and pharmacy. In this work, Arabic gum (AG) microgels and methacrylic acid modified Arabic gum microgels (AGMAA) were synthesized via the water in oil emulsion polymerization technique using Tween 20 as the surfactant and hexane as the solvent. The microgels were characterized using various physicochemical methods such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal stability using differential scanning calorimetry, diffraction pattern analysis using X-Ray diffraction, morphology observation using field emission scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering was used to analyze the size and zeta potential. The rate of deformation was higher in the AG microgels compared to the AGMAA microgels. The particle size and zeta potential of the AGMAA microgel were found to be larger and more negative than AG microgel, respectively. The particle size and zeta potentials of the microgels were found to be dependent on the amount of methacrylic acid as the modifying agent. The microgels were encapsulated with doxorubicin through the swelling method and the in vitro release was studied in mediums with pH values of 4.2 and 7.4. The results suggest the potentials of these microgels for drugs delivery.
Convergence analysis of the energy-stable numerical schemes for the Cahn-Hilliard equation
Authors: Kang Xiao-Rong , Wu Yan-Mei , Cheng Ke-Long
Published: March 2022

In this paper we present a second order numerical scheme for the
Cahn-Hilliard equation, with a Fourier pseudo-spectral approximation in
space. An additional Douglas-Dupont regularization term is introduced, which
ensures the energy stability. The bound of numerical solution in H2h and l? norms
are obtained at a theoretical level. Moreover, for the global nature of the
pseudo-spectral method, we propose a linear iteration algorithm to solve
the non-linear system, due to the implicit treatment for the non-linear
term. Some numerical simulations verify the efficiency of iteration
algorithm.
A novel reconfigurable tri-mode resonator and its application to bandpass filter
Authors: Cheng Jun , Liu Xiu-Shan , Zhang Qin
Published: March 2022

A reconfigurable tri-mode resonator and its application to tri-band bandpass
filter have been demonstrated. The proposed filter exhibits 32.8%
fractional tuning range of the first passband from 1.12-1.56 GHz and 12.73%
of the third pass-band from 2.50-2.84 GHz, and a fixed second passband at 2
GHz, respectively. The first and third frequency passbands can be tuned
independently without interfering with each other. Especially, the filter
uses a hybrid technique of lumped inductors and microstrip lines, resulting
in a very compact mechanical size of 0.12 ?g ? 0.08 ?g, where ?g is the
guided wavelength on the substrate at the central of the first passband
frequency. The measured results agree well with the simulated ones.

Published: March 2022

This study aims to explore the types and causes of students’ disruptive behaviors happen in English class. The method of this study was qualitative research. The research type was case study. The data were obtained from observation and interview. The source data were 118 students in level 3. The techniques analyzing data used three steps including data reduction, data display, and vilification. The results showed that the types of disruptive behaviors happen in the class were class disruption, aggression and goofing off. The causes of students’ disruptive behaviors were from the environment around them (friend and social life), bad learning (lazy to study and English is too difficult), and psychology needs (power, freedom, fun). Based on the correlation results, it can be inferred that the types of the disruption that happen in the English class is low behaviors. The environment has more influence for students to make the disruptive behavior in the class. Classroom management is critical in keeping students in a safe and conducive environment for effective learning. Therefore, teachers and principals should add meaning to stimulate and keep going suitable behaviors of students in classroom organizations.

Adaptación del cuestionario de orientación al ego y a la tarea en el deporte (TEOSQ) en deportistas argentinos
Authors: Pagano Alejandro Emilio , Vizioli Nicolás Alejandro
Published: March 2022

Introducción: La teoría de metas de logro en el deporte intenta explicar la motivación del individuo a partir de conocer qué valor y expectativas les otorga a las actividades deportivas que realiza y las metas que se propone, para definirlas o sentirse exitoso en las mismas, partiendo del supuesto de que el deporte es un contexto de logro y es por esto que los individuos se esforzaran para demostrar competencia y habilidad. El Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire es uno de los instrumentos de medición más utilizados para abordar esta teoría. Sin embargo, no existen estudios locales que permitan medir el constructo en deportistas argentinos adultos. Por esta razón, el objetivo de este estudio fue realizar la adaptación lingüística, conceptual y métrica del TEOSQ en deportistas adultos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Método: El estudio fue instrumental, con un muestreo intencional no probabilístico, se realizó la adaptación del instrumento del inglés al español, luego un juicio de expertos, seguido por un análisis factorial confirmatorio para luego indagar coeficientes de confiabilidad y brindar valores normativos. Resultados: La muestra estuvo compuesta por 258 deportistas argentinos (63,36% mujeres; 36,4% varones) de las disciplinas, básquetbol, voleibol, futbol de salón, hockey sobre césped y fútbol (edad media=24,41, DE= 6,55). Los resultados obtenidos indican un ajuste aceptable para el modelo de dos factores evidenciado en la literatura habiendo descartado los ítems 5 y 13 por presentar una baja carga factorial (<.30). Se aporta a su vez coeficientes de consistencia interna adecuados (α =.77 y de ω =.85 para orientación al ego; y α =.82 y ω =.86 para orientación a la tarea), y se brindan valores normativos. Conclusión: Este estudio aporta evidencias de validez y confiabilidad para la versión adaptada del TEOSQ en deportistas argentinos.
