Abstract Life habits during childhood are decisive for future health conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate screen time and anthropometry of children enrolled in municipal schools in the interior of the State of São Paulo. A cross-sectional study was carried out with students from 9 to 10 years of age from a city in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. A socioeconomic questionnaire validated by the Brazilian Association of Research Companies was used, containing also the determination of screen time (TV, video game, computer and cell phone), recommended by the Pediatrics Society. Anthropometry data was collected according to the Lohmam Anthropometric Standardization Reference Manual and compared to the z-score level with the WHO 2007. For the statistical analysis, Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-square or Fisher’s Exact tests were used.The confidence level was at 95%. Out of the 703 schoolchildren assessed, 97.44% had adequate height, 59.17% eutrophy BMI and 30.44% overweight. There was a correlation between BMI and non-stratified social class (p=0.038) and BMI and neck circumference (NC) (p<0.001).The z-score of the BMI showed that children with weight loss stayed longer watching TV (p=0.0486). The gender comparison showed that girls of higher social class stayed longer at the computer (p=0.0351) and using the cell phone (p<0.0001),and boys playing videogame (p=0.0005). Overweight and weight loss shown in the positive correlation between BMI and NC, although on opposite sides, were associated with screen time and especially with TV in children of higher social class.

Abstract The same training stimulus can provide different physiological adaptations for athletes of the same team.The aim of this study was to compare training and game loads in young male basketball players. Data were obtained from 4 training sessions and one game session usingPolar Team Pro equipment. Physiological data (HR) were used to monitor internal responses through Edwards’TRIMP,and data on distance traveled by the player on the court (External Training Load).To observe differences between eTRIMP,HR max and distance traveled,the T-Test was used for paired samples. The mean internal training load, according to Edwards’TRIMP, for the four training sessions was 132 ± 69. Mean HR max and distance traveled values were 143 ± 67 and 2.273 ± 1170, respectively. Regarding game load, Edwards’TRIMP,maximum HR and distance traveled were 108 ± 33, 199 ± 4 and 2.240 ± 617, respectively. No statistically significant differences were found between the mean values of training sessions compared to the game session in relation to the Edwards’ TRIMP measures and distance traveled, but HR max was significantly higher during the game compared to training. It was concluded that the loads applied during training are similar to those applied in the game.

Abstract Pacing strategy (PS) has a decisive impact on performance, especially on long-term races.The objective of this study is to characterize the PS used in swimming races of 800m and 1500m freestyle by the finalists of the Olympic trials of the United States, Europe and Brazil,and the Olympic finalists of 2016.Time partials of 63 athletes were analyzed using a decision tree and the CHAID method. The results showed that parabolic was adopted by swimmers of 800m, they start in first lap (29.67 ± 0.88 s), followed by an increase in time (+1.77 s) and a subsequent increase in time (32.04 ± 0.89 s), at the end, the swimmers presented an acceleration,reducing the average of the to 31.44 s. And by the free 1500m swimmers, divided into blocks with a faster average start (29.25 ± 1.15 s), half of the slowest race (30.30 ± 0.76 s), and a new acceleration at the end of the event (29.92 ± 1.12 s), both in the selective Olympic Games and the 2016 and 2016 Olympic final.The worst partials times were observed in the Brazilian Selective (Test Event) (31.11 ± 0.78 s). Medalist, despite presetting the same OS, can sustain a better rhythm throughout he 800m (31.52 ± 1.03 s) and 1500-m (29.80 ± 0.78). We conclude that parabolic PS is the optimal strategy adopted by swimmers of 800-m and 1500m freestyle.

Published: August 2019

Abstract The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of a training period aimed at the development of lower limb power and physical performance of futsal players. The sample consisted of 10 futsal players from a professional team aged 23.70 ± 5.85 years, 72.33 ± 6.01 kg and 174.40 ± 0.05 cm. Players were monitored for a period of 4 training weeks, corresponding to the beginning of the competitive period. During this period, physical training sought to improve lower limb power. At the beginning and end of the training period, the following tests were performed: Squat jump (SJ), Countermovement jump (CMJ), 15-meter speed(Vel_15m) and Futsal Intermittent Endurance Test (FIET).The training load was monitored by the Session Perceived Exertion method.Weeks 1 and 3 presented higher training load than weeks 2 and 4 (p <0.01). In the post-training period, shorter running time in the Vel_15m test (p = 0.04), greater height in SJ (p <0.01) and CMJ (p <0.01) tests, and higher maximal speed in FIET (p = 0.04) were observed. It could be concluded that directing training at the beginning of the competitive season to improve power increases the lower limb power of futsal players, with consequent improvement of speed and the ability to perform intermittent actions at high intensities.

Published: August 2019

Mesh is an important and powerful type of data for 3D shapes and widely studied in the field of computer vision and computer graphics. Regarding the task of 3D shape representation, there have been extensive research efforts concentrating on how to represent 3D shapes well using volumetric grid, multi-view and point cloud. However, there is little effort on using mesh data in recent years, due to the complexity and irregularity of mesh data. In this paper, we propose a mesh neural network, named MeshNet, to learn 3D shape representation from mesh data. In this method, face-unit and feature splitting are introduced, and a general architecture with available and effective blocks are proposed. In this way, MeshNet is able to solve the complexity and irregularity problem of mesh and conduct 3D shape representation well. We have applied the proposed MeshNet method in the applications of 3D shape classification and retrieval. Experimental results and comparisons with the state-of-the-art methods demonstrate that the proposed MeshNet can achieve satisfying 3D shape classification and retrieval performance, which indicates the effectiveness of the proposed method on 3D shape representation.
Video Imprint Segmentation for Temporal Action Detection in Untrimmed Videos
Authors: Gao Zhanning , Wang Le , Zhang Qilin , Niu Zhenxing , Zheng Nanning , Hua Gang
Published: August 2019

We propose a temporal action detection by spatial segmentation framework, which simultaneously categorize actions and temporally localize action instances in untrimmed videos. The core idea is the conversion of temporal detection task into a spatial semantic segmentation task. Firstly, the video imprint representation is employed to capture the spatial/temporal interdependences within/among frames and represent them as spatial proximity in a feature space. Subsequently, the obtained imprint representation is spatially segmented by a fully convolutional network. With such segmentation labels projected back to the video space, both temporal action boundary localization and per-frame spatial annotation can be obtained simultaneously. The proposed framework is robust to variable lengths of untrimmed videos, due to the underlying fixed-size imprint representations. The efficacy of the framework is validated in two public action detection datasets.
No-Reference Image Quality Assessment with Reinforcement Recursive List-Wise Ranking
Authors: Gu Jie , Meng Gaofeng , Da Cheng , Xiang Shiming , Pan Chunhong
Published: August 2019

Opinion-unaware no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) methods have received many interests recently because they do not require images with subjective scores for training. Unfortunately, it is a challenging task, and thus far no opinion-unaware methods have shown consistently better performance than the opinion-aware ones. In this paper, we propose an effective opinion-unaware NR-IQA method based on reinforcement recursive list-wise ranking. We formulate the NR-IQA as a recursive list-wise ranking problem which aims to optimize the whole quality ordering directly. During training, the recursive ranking process can be modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP). The ranking list of images can be constructed by taking a sequence of actions, and each of them refers to selecting an image for a specific position of the ranking list. Reinforcement learning is adopted to train the model parameters, in which no ground-truth quality scores or ranking lists are necessary for learning. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our approach compared with existing opinion-unaware NR-IQA methods. Furthermore, our approach can compete with the most effective opinion-aware methods. It improves the state-of-the-art by over 2% on the CSIQ benchmark and outperforms most compared opinion-aware models on TID2013.
Few-Shot Image and Sentence Matching via Gated Visual-Semantic Embedding
Authors: Huang Yan , Long Yang , Wang Liang
Published: August 2019

Although image and sentence matching has been widely studied, its intrinsic few-shot problem is commonly ignored, which has become a bottleneck for further performance improvement. In this work, we focus on this challenging problem of few-shot image and sentence matching, and propose a Gated Visual-Semantic Embedding (GVSE) model to deal with it. The model consists of three corporative modules in terms of uncommon VSE, common VSE, and gated metric fusion. The uncommon VSE exploits external auxiliary resources to extract generic features for representing uncommon instances and words in images and sentences, and then integrates them by modeling their semantic relation to obtain global representations for association analysis. To better model other common instances and words in rest content of images and sentences, the common VSE learns their discriminative representations directly from scratch. After obtaining two similarity metrics from the two VSE modules with different advantages, the gated metric fusion module adaptively fuses them by automatically balancing their relative importance. Based on the fused metric, we perform extensive experiments in terms of few-shot and conventional image and sentence matching, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model by achieving the state-of-the-art results on two public benchmark datasets.
MLVCNN: Multi-Loop-View Convolutional Neural Network for 3D Shape Retrieval

Published: August 2019

3D shape retrieval has attracted much attention and become a hot topic in computer vision field recently.With the development of deep learning, 3D shape retrieval has also made great progress and many view-based methods have been introduced in recent years. However, how to represent 3D shapes better is still a challenging problem. At the same time, the intrinsic hierarchical associations among views still have not been well utilized. In order to tackle these problems, in this paper, we propose a multi-loop-view convolutional neural network (MLVCNN) framework for 3D shape retrieval. In this method, multiple groups of views are extracted from different loop directions first. Given these multiple loop views, the proposed MLVCNN framework introduces a hierarchical view-loop-shape architecture, i.e., the view level, the loop level, and the shape level, to conduct 3D shape representation from different scales. In the view-level, a convolutional neural network is first trained to extract view features. Then, the proposed Loop Normalization and LSTM are utilized for each loop of view to generate the loop-level features, which considering the intrinsic associations of the different views in the same loop. Finally, all the loop-level descriptors are combined into a shape-level descriptor for 3D shape representation, which is used for 3D shape retrieval. Our proposed method has been evaluated on the public 3D shape benchmark, i.e., ModelNet40. Experiments and comparisons with the state-of-the-art methods show that the proposed MLVCNN method can achieve significant performance improvement on 3D shape retrieval tasks. Our MLVCNN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by the mAP of 4.84% in 3D shape retrieval task. We have also evaluated the performance of the proposed method on the 3D shape classification task where MLVCNN also achieves superior performance compared with recent methods.

Published: August 2019

Dieser Beitrag beschreibt ein Konzept für die digitale Abbildung und Übertragung von System-Control-Diagrammen (SCDs) in einem elektronischen Datenmodell, das in großem Umfang die automatische Generierung von Automatisierungscode in der Steuerungstechnik ermöglicht. SCDs sind von der norwegischen Norsok-Organisation standardisiert und enthalten im Vergleich zu P&IDs durch konkreteAnwendungsbausteine und deren Verknüpfungen konkretere Vorgaben der Prozesstechnik zur tatsächlichen Steuerungsanwendung. SCDs sind interdisziplinärer Natur und enthalten im selben Diagramm sowohl Prozess- und Automatisierungsinformationen. Ihr Einsatz in der norwegischen Öl- und Gasindustrie ist seit Jahren etabliert und von hohem Wert für Automatisierungsabteilungen und Bediener. Ein elektronischer Datenaustausch war jedoch bisher nicht verfügbar. Dieser Beitrag zeigt, wie SCDs mit AutomationML digitalisiert und einem elektronischen Datenaustausch zugänglich gemacht werden können. Equinor hat die Nutzung von AutomationML beim Datenaustausch von SCDs bereits in Ausschreibungen aufgenommen und nutzt es in Projekten.
Investigation of the Development of van Hiele Levels of Geometric Thinking in a Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) Environment
Authors: ÖZKAN Emre , ÖNER Diler
Published: August 2019

This
study investigated the use of a well-designed computer-supported collaborative learning
environment, namely Virtual Math Teams (VMT), to develop middle school students’
geometric thinking. It also looked into students’ VMT discourse to better
understand factors leading to higher van Hiele levels of geometric thinking.
The participants of the study were selected from middle school students who
were at the visual geometric thinking level. For treatment, students were
presented with a set of activities on quadrilaterals, which were developed
based on van Hiele’s phases of learning geometry, within the VMT environment.
The data were collected by using the van Hiele Geometry Test. The VMT chat logs
were qualitatively analyzed using the three-core collaborative problem-solving
competencies used in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA)
2015. The results showed that the participants significantly developed their van
Hiele Geometry Test scores after the intervention. Qualitative results pointed
out that collaborative competencies could be essential in developing students’
geometric thinking levels within the VMT environment. Considering that Turkish
students score lower than the international average in geometry and the lowest
in collaborative problem solving area in international assessments, it becomes even
more important to integrate CSCL environments into Turkish curricula.

Published: August 2019

Background: Hernias of the abdominal wall constitute an important public health problem. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TEP) is a minimal access surgical procedure as compared to open hernia repair. The objective of the study was to compare open and laparoscopic hernia repair in terms of safety, complications, morbidity, recurrence, post-op pain and hospital stay.Methods: This was a prospective observational comparative study. Total 50 patients were taken in this study; out of them 25 patients subjected to group A (open repair of inguinal hernia) and 25 patients subjected to group B (laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia). Postoperatively patients were observed for any complications and followed up one year.Results: Present study shows high incidence of inguinal hernia in males. Mean operative time for open hernia repair group was less than laparoscopic hernia repair group. Time to return to normal work, duration of hospital stay and postoperative pain were less in laparoscopic hernia repair group than open hernia repair group. Out of 25 patients in laparoscopic hernia repair (TEP) 1 patient had recurrence but in open hernia repair group there was no recurrence.Conclusions: Laparoscopic hernia repair is quite safe; it has definite advantages in bilateral and recurrent cases, postoperative pain, early return to normal activities, less postoperative hospital stay and better cosmetic results although it has its own disadvantages in terms of recurrence rate, operative time and cost effectiveness.

Authors: Ahmad Ayesha , Khan Iraj Alam , Raza Mohammad
Published: August 2019

Background: The two most common vector borne diseases in the world are malaria and dengue. Co-infection infection is not unusual in a geographical region such as India, wherein both the vectors coexist. This study aimed to determine whether simultaneous malaria and dengue infection is serious in children than mono infection alone.Methods: In this study all children with fever of less than 7 days duration were included in the study. Clinical inspection and laboratory analysis were performed in all instances, following a detailed history. Children were categorized under 3 categories, malaria (M), dengue (D) and coinfection (DM). For any statistical difference between groups, their clinical as well as hematological parameters were analyzed. SPSS software was used for the statistical studies.Results: Malarial chills fever was also found in a substantial percentage of children with dengue. Superficial as well as profound bleeding were seen more often in the coinfected DM groups than D or M alone. In M group alone, jaundice and diarrhea were noted. In the segregated M and DM groups, the neurological indication, neurological involvement such as altered sensorium and seizure was noted at the same rate, whereas, there had been no occurrence in D group. Anemia was reported in all children, but M group showed the highest drop.Conclusions: Severity criteria, neurological involvement such as altered sensorium and seizures were reported at same rate both in malaria and coinfection, whereas, none of the patients with dengue showed signs of seizure. Anemia relative to hematologic parameters, was considerably more prevalent in the malaria patients. Presence of bleeding in malaria and jaundice in dengue patients, should be considerably investigated for a coinfection.

Background: The main aim of the present study is to investigate the differences in clinical, microbiological, characteristics of Urinary tract infection between diabetic and non-diabetic patients and influence of diabetes on the spectrum of URO pathogens and the antimicrobial resistance in patients with urinary tract infections.Methods: The present study is conducted from February 2018-April 2019 in Narayana general hospital. A total of 181 diabetics and 124 non-diabetics are included. A thorough history examination investigations done. The final data was analysed using statistical package SPSS. The percentages in different categories were compared using chi square test and means were compared using student ‘t’ test.Results: The mean age among diabetic and non-diabetic patients was 60.2+/-13.79 years and 53.47+/-18.56 years. Fever is the most common presenting symptom. BPH was the most common predisposing factor in both diabetes and non-diabetes followed by indwelling catherization but there was no statistically significant difference. Diabetics with UTI majority (87.14%) had glyco HBA1C >6.5% with p<0.001. The prevalence of recurrent UTI is higher in diabetics compared to non-diabetics however difference was not statistically significant. Recurrent UTI is higher in females in both diabetics and non-diabetics. The presence of E coli is significantly higher in diabetics compared to non- diabetics. The antimicrobial resistance pattern was similar in both diabetic and no-diabetic subjects in E coli with maximum sensitivity to meropenem and least to ampicillin and there is no statistically significant difference.Conclusion: The host factors found to be associated with UTI are female sex, presence of diabetes, poor glycemic control, presence of fever. No correlation was noted with age, duration of diabetes and type of treatment for diabetes. An elevated HBA1C correlates with occurrence of UTI. Escherichia coli (E. coli) was the most frequent uropathogen. The resistance of uropathogens to antibiotics are similar in patients with and without diabetes and non-diabetes.

Authors: Shah Kunal Ajitkumar , Desai Mohan Madhav
Published: August 2019

Background: Total hip replacement (THR) is the most successful and cost effective treatment with aim of pain relief and functional rehabilitation for hip disorders. As the implant designs of THR have evolved over time, the functional outcome and survivorship has improved. Even after so many advancements, it remains unclear that which implants are better, uncemented or cemented. Hence, we took up this study to analyze which of the uncemented or cemented THR have better functional outcome.

Methods: This was a longitudinal study conducted during 2014 to 2018. Hundred cases were randomized into groups of 50 each. All patients with age between 55-80 years in whom THR was indicated were included in the study. Uncemented THR was done in Group A and cemented THR was done in Group B. Patients were followed up at 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 3 years. At follow-up, functional examination in terms of visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Harris hip score (HHS) was done.

Results: The mean age of patients in Group A (uncemented) and Group B (cemented) was 62.5 years and 60 years respectively. We found that the difference of VAS score and HHS between Group A and B was statistically significant at 12 weeks and 6 months. The difference of VAS and HHS scores between Group A and B at 12 months and 3 years was not significant.

Conclusions: We conclude that cemented THR has better functional outcome at short term. They are cost effective option at age ≥55-60 years.

D’une superficie de 225 000 ha, la Réserve de biosphère de Yangambi (République démocratique du Congo) est l’une des principales aires protégées menacées par l’anthropisation dans la région. Malgré son appartenance au réseau mondial des réserves de biosphère depuis les années 1970, les connaissances sur les dynamiques d’occupation du sol y sont encore lacunaires. Une démarche fondée sur l’analyse d’images (Landsat TM, ETM+ et OLI) et la réalité du terrain a été mise en œuvre pour étudier la dynamique d’occupation des sols de la réserve entre 1986 et 2016. Le taux annuel de déforestation est passé de 0,18 % au cours de la période 1986-2003 à 0,38 % en 2003-2016. Durant cette dernière période, la forêt primaire a connu un taux de déforestation plus élevé qu’en forêt secondaire (respectivement 4,5 % et 0,4 %). Quatre zones aux dynamiques socio-environnementales spécifiques ont été identifiées, nécessitant des approches de gestion différentes. Il s’agit notamment de la concession de l’INERA, des zones proches d’axes principaux de circulation, des zones situées sur des axes routiers plus ou moins abandonnés et des zones isolées du cœur de la réserve. Les principales causes de déforestation mentionnées par les habitants sont l’agriculture itinérante sur brûlis (54 % des ménages), l’exploitation artisanale des minerais (17 %) et la fabrication des pirogues (8 %). La pression démographique, sans amélioration du niveau de vie des communautés ou des techniques agricoles, et le développement du réseau routier, favorisant les échanges commerciaux, en sont les causes sous-jacentes. Cette dynamique de déforestation dans une forêt rattachée au réseau mondial des réserves de biosphère entame l’objectif fixé par l’État d’étendre le réseau d’aires protégées à 15 % du territoire national.

Gérer durablement les forêts tropicales de production nécessite de connaître leur diversité, leur dynamique et l’impact de l’exploitation sur ces caractéristiques. Cette connaissance peut s’obtenir avec de grands dispositifs de suivi permanents dont les arbres sont régulièrement mesurés. Un seul dispositif de ce type existe en Afrique centrale, M’Baïki, installé en 1982 en République centrafricaine. Il a fait référence pour établir les règles d’aménagement d’un grand nombre de concessions forestières de la région. Plusieurs projets ont permis l’installation de nouveaux dispositifs, en privilégiant des zones situées sur des substrats géologiques différents. Deux dispositifs ont ainsi été installés dans des concessions forestières aménagées au nord de la République du Congo, sur alluvions de l’ère cénozoïque (Loundoungou) et sur grès de Carnot de l’ère mésozoïque (Mokabi). Chaque dispositif est constitué de deux blocs de 400 ha, contenant chacun un sentier d’environ 4 000 arbres d’une vingtaine d’espèces commerciales et deux parcelles de 9 ha suivies en plein. Tous les arbres supérieurs à 10 cm de diamètre sont mesurés. Un bloc sera exploité après quelques années de suivi, l’autre restera en témoin. L’installation et le premier inventaire d’un dispositif ont nécessité en moyenne 34 mois de travail avec une équipe de huit personnes pour un coût total moyen de 94500 €. Les peuplements des deux dispositifs, Loundoungou et Mokabi respectivement, ont les caractéristiques suivantes : 240 et 230 espèces d’arbres, densité de 346,8 (± 5,8) et 426,8 (± 3,6) arbres par hectare, biomasse de 432,6 (± 13,8) et 457,3 (± 9,3) Mg/ha. Les difficultés rencontrées lors de l’installation des dispositifs (emplacement, localisation des parcelles, constitution des sentiers, application du protocole d’inventaire, logistique...) sont analysées. Plusieurs recommandations sont émises pour améliorer l’installation de tels dispositifs et leur protocole d’inventaire.
Carne artificial
Authors: Santos Enrico Jardim Clemente
Published: August 2019

A ideia de que são necessárias alternativas para a produção convencional de carne bovina já é uma realidade. Técnicas decultura de células-tronco oriundas do tecido muscular visando a geração de carne artificial vêm sendo desenvolvidas de maneira promissora. Embora tenham sido realizados progressos consideráveis nos últimos anos, ainda há questões importantes a serem resolvidas como: restrições sociais e éticas, ajuste das condições de cultura,produção eficaz em grande escala e o desenvolvimento de meios de cultura econômicos e livres de produtos de origem animal. Portanto, embora promissora, a produção da carne artificial ainda é uma perspectiva a ser alcançada no futuro.

Sirau River is one of the rivers in the Barito Timur Regency which flows through the Dusun Timur District. Sirau River water is used as raw material for regional water companies (PDAM) and is used by communities around the river to meet the needs of other daily life such as MCK and other uses and is also used as a landfill, domestic wastewater and waste water mining and plantation activities both directly and indirectly. This study aims to analyze the status of pollution of the Sirau river through the approach of the pollution index value, assess the quality of the Sirau River water and identify the source of pollutants entering the Sirau River. The results showed that in general the water quality of the Sirau River for pH, COD, BOD, Fe, and Mn parameters exceeds the water quality standard namely Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001 class II concerning Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control, the main source of pollutants comes from residential domestic waste, coal mining activities and dry leaves that fall into river streams. Sirau river water quality from upstream to downstream based on river water quality analysis using the pollution index method shows that water quality has decreased where the river conditions are generally mildly polluted. The quality of lightly polluted Sirau river water cannot be utilized in accordance with the designation of class II water based on Government Regulation No. 82 of 2001 concerning Management of Water Quality and Water Pollution Control.

Published: August 2019

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and investigate degenerate Poisson distrib- ution which is a new extension of the Poisson distribution including the degenerate expo- nential function. We then provide several properties of the degenerate Poisson distribution such as the first and the second raw moments and di¤erence operator property. Moreover, we acquired the skewness and the kurtosis for the degenerate Poisson distribution. We also derive its moment generating function by which we define the degenerate Bell polynomials and give a connection for these polynomials related to the unsigned Stirling numbers of the rst kind.

Published: August 2019

This article discusses about art from the point of view of Islamic spirituality. This is a study of the most important aspects of an art inspired by Islamic values, including literature, music, and other forms of art. Thus the deeper a person penetrates the meaning of Islamic art, the wider one understands of the relationship between art and Islamic spirituality. Arts are then refined by Islamic conception. Islam blesses every work of art that is in compliance with the Islamic teaching. The blessed works form a unique way of life that is in accordance with the norms of Islamic values. Acculturation of arts and local culture according to Islam is not value free, rather it is value bound.
Findings and Management of the Rare Caput Flexum Deformity of the Hip
Authors: Leunig M. , Fickert S. , Ganz R.
Published: August 2019

Case:

A 10-year-old girl presented after possible occult hip trauma, with shortening of the leg being the initial clinical symptom, followed by motion-dependent pain. She had limited external rotation in extension with anterior apprehension. Radiographically, the deformity was an anterior tilt of the epiphysis with coxa vara. Surgery included surgical dislocation using a retinacular flap for the anterior open wedge femoral neck osteotomy for extension and posterior translation, with an excellent 4.5-year clinical outcome.

Conclusions:

Caput flexum is a rare deformity with localized premature closure of the anterior growth plate of the hip. To avoid secondary impingement, an osteotomy was successfully placed close to the deformity.
Intramedullary Insertion of the Patellar Tendon, a Rare Anatomical Variant, Its Sequelae, and Surgical Management
Authors: Collett David J. , Sharma Rahul , Goyal Prateek
Published: August 2019

Case:

We report a rare cause of patella baja in a 25-year-old man presenting with right knee pain. He was found to have patella baja and a genu recurvatum deformity. Imaging revealed an extremely unusual variant of the patellar tendon—identified to have an intramedullary tibial insertion. A patellar tendon reconstructive procedure was performed.

Conclusions:

An intramedullary insertion of the patellar tendon is a fascinating and rare cause of patella baja with subsequent altered biomechanics of the extensor mechanism. We believe this is the first case report to describe its surgical presentation and an operative approach to its management.
