Las fracturas diafisarias del fémur y la tibia son las lesiones traumáticas más comunes a nivel mundial, afectan principalmente a la población joven y económicamente activa como consecuencia de traumatismos de alta energía, en su mayoría accidentes viales. Las complicaciones de estas lesiones han sido ampliamente descritas y las implicaciones médico-legales son importantes cuando estas no son detectadas a tiempo. Por lo que resulta relevante estudiar como se comportan las presiones intracompartimentales en las fracturas cerradas y su evolución en el tiempo, así como las manifestaciones clínicas durante las primeras 12 horas de evolución. Se realizó un estudio observacional transversal en 65 pacientes con fracturas cerradas diafisarias de fémur y tibia, evaluando las cifras de presión intracompartimental y las variables clínicas al momento de su ingreso y a las 12 horas de evolución intrahospitalaria. Encontramos que el compartimento más afectado es el anterior con un promedio de presión al ingreso de 22,26±6,90 mmHg. Asimismo, se demostró una relación directa entre el mecanismo y energía del trauma con respecto a las cifras de presión intracompartimental. Los resultados del estudio demostraron que el parámetro clínico más importante fue el dolor, el cual está relacionado con la energía del trauma.

“Vocês tiveram consciência de eleger um metalúrgico”: reflexões sobre o Lulismo nos anos 2000
Authors: Baptista Marcus Pierre de Carvalho
Published: March 2024

O século XX possibilitou transformações diversas dentro do conhecimento histórico. Elementos como a cultura, valores sociais, economia e política são apenas algumas das possibilidades de análise que a história passa a contemplar. Dentre estes, a política, enquanto dimensão histórica se constitui como o campo de estudo que mais sofreu transformações ao longo dos séculos XIX e XX. Se em seu primeiro momento apenas a política dos grandes Estados e grandes homens era considerado História, a Nova História Política na década de 1980 reinventa a dimensão política na História, passando a trabalhar com várias formas de relações no seu estudo, inclusive o discurso. Destarte, nesta modalidade no estudo da política no contexto historiográfico, o Populismo se enquadra como um dos possíveis discursos políticos que podem ser objeto de estudo da História, cuja análise a partir do lulismo e como este consegue sintetizar e se utilizar de algumas variantes do Populismo se configura no objetivo deste artigo. Os referenciais teórico-metodológicos utilizados na elaboração deste trabalho foram, principalmente, Debert (1979), Barros (2009) e Singer (2012). Percebeu-se a partir da análise realizada que o lulismo incorpora algumas variantes do Populismo, estas sendo a participação, a justiça e a liderança autêntica enquanto espaço da política, principalmente a partir da identificação de Luís Inácio Lula da Silva com as massas, sua preocupação em zelar pelo Estado de Direito e por possibilitar a participação social em seu governo através de representantes da sociedade civil por meio de conselhos nacionais.

Authors: Hamza Syed Ali Hamza , Nasir Ali Nasir , Mobasher Fizza Mobasher , Shoaib Hurmah Shoaib , Aslam Omer Aslam , Sehar Sana Sehar
Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION: Insulin resistance is a significant risk factor for coronary artery disease. A helpful surrogate test for insulin resistance is the triglyceride-glucose index, which measures how well glucose and triglycerides are metabolized. The triglyceride-glucose index, which is the combination of both indicators, has been observed to be highly connected with insulin resistance. Furthermore, it has been recommended as a viable surrogate measure of insulin resistance as a result of this significant correlation. The purpose of this research is to determine the frequency of cardiovascular event after coronary artery diseases and compare the triglyceride-glucose index in patients presenting with or without cardiovascular event after coronary artery disease.

MEYHODOLOGY: The study was conducted at the Department of Cardiology, Punjab Institute of Cardiology in Lahore from June 5, 2020 to December 5, 2020. Total 150 patients were enrolled in the study. A sterile syringe containing 5 millilitres of blood was used to withdraw the sample, and it was followed by an 8-hour period of abstinence before the sample was transported to the laboratory of the hospital for analysis of the lipid and glucose levels. Patients who had and did not have a cardiovascular incident had their reports evaluated, and the triglyceride-glucose index was determined for both groups. Statistical analysis using SPSS version 25.0 was performed on the data that was gathered. Triglyceride-glucose index was compared in patients with or without cardiovascular event by using independent samples t-test.

RESULTS: In patients having coronary artery disease, the frequency of cardiovascular events was 32, which represents 21.3%. The individuals who had a cardiovascular incident had a mean value of the triglyceride-glucose index of 9.48±0.52 and in patients of without cardiovascular event was 8.75±0.56. The level of triglyceride-glucose index was high in patients of cardiovascular event than the patients of without cardiovascular event when compared by using independent sample t-test the difference is significant (p=0.000001).

CONCLUSION: There is significant difference in triglyceride-glucose index in patients with or without cardiovascular event and the index is high in patients of cardiovascular event (p<0.05). On the basis of these results we recommend the regular screening of patients for triglyceride-glucose index in order to predict the adverse consequences after coronary artery disease.

Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION:  High mortality and morbidity are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common form of cardiovascular disease. In humans, uric acid is produced as a byproduct of purine decomposition. Numerous epidemiological studies have shown that high levels of blood uric acid are associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease and other cardiovascular disorders.

AIMS & OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the present study are: To determine frequency of hyperuricemia in acute coronary syndrome. To compare frequency of metabolic syndrome in patients of acute coronary syndrome with and without hyperuricemia.

MATERIAL & METHODS: It was a cross sectional study. Patients admitted with Acute Coronary Syndrome to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore between March 20 and September 20 of 2016 were included in this study. A total of 200 patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome who fulfilled the study's inclusion criteria and provided written informed consent were included. The demographic and clinical characteristics of each patient were recorded in the appropriate sections of the proforma, as required by the operational definition.

RESULTS:  In our study, out of 200 cases of ACS, 26.5% were between 30-50 years of age while 73.5% were between 51-70 years. Mean age was calculated 54.24+8.91 years. There were 47.5% male and 52.5 females.  Frequency of hyperuricemia in ACS was calculated as 29.5% and frequency of MetS in patients with ACS with and without hyperuricemia was recorded as 38.98% vs 19.15% with p value 0.003 showing a significant difference.

CONCLUSION: After analyzing data, we came to the conclusion that the prevalence of hyperuricemia is much greater in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome, whereas the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is markedly higher in hyperuricemic cases compared to those without hyperuricemia.

Published: March 2024

Background: Serum concentrations of electrolytes have been shown to change with plasma glucose levels. Magnesium, the second most abundant intracellular cation plays a key role in cellular metabolism. The level of glycemic control is found to be inversely proportional to magnesium deficiency.

Objectives: To assess the changes in serum magnesium level between T2DM and non-diabetic patients presented with acute myocardial infarction.

Material & Methods: This cross sectional research was carried out at cardiac care centre of teaching hospital of Lahore from June to December 2020. In this study overall 200 T2DM and non-diabetic patients aged 20-60 years of either gender were inducted via non probability sampling technique. These patients were presented in emergency with acute myocardial infarction within 12 hours from the beginning of symptoms determined by history and medical records. Serum magnesium level between two groups was compared by t-test. The difference was considered significant with p value <0.05.

Results: The mean age among study participants was 52.72±6.24 years. The majority 70% of the participants were male while 30% were female. Group A comprised of 110(55%) type 2 diabetic patients while group B comprised of 90(45%) non diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction. Mean serum magnesium level of the study participants was 1.56±0.42 mg/dl. Mean serum magnesium level in group A was 1.25-0.42 mg/dl and in group B was 1.84-0.32 mg/dl. Mean serum magnesium level was significantly lowered in group A (diabetics) as compared to group B (non-diabetics) with p-value=0.000. Study found that low serum magnesium level showed significant association with age, gender, glycemic control and diabetes duration with p-value=0.000. 

Conclusion: In comparison with non-diabetic patients, serum magnesium level was significantly lowered in diabetic patients presented with acute myocardial infarction.  Hypomagnesaemia was directly related to age, gender, glycemic control and duration of diabetes.

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: Mechanical complications can occur after acute myocardial infarction. Most commonly mitral regurgitation (MR) occurs after infero-basal myocardial infarction (MI) due to papillary muscles dysfunction. MR may also develop with antero-apical MI. The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of mitral regurgitation in acute MI patients and to risk stratify the patients with MR for anterior and inferior wall MI.
AIMS & OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency of mitral regurgitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
MATERIAL & METHODS: This was a descriptive case series carried out at the Cardiology department of Jinnah Hospital, Lahore from: 29-10-2013 to 29-04-2014. A total of 340 patients of MI were included. Echocardiography examination was carried out on all subjects on day 3-4 post MI. Frequency of mitral regurgitation in each group was measured by color flow Doppler technique.
RESULTS: Out of study population, 153 (45%) were in between 30-50 years and 187 (55%) were in between 51-75 years. The mean of age was calculated as 55.09+11.81 years. In our data 181 (53.24%) were male and 159 (46.76%) were female. Frequency of MR in acute MI patients was recorded in 69 (20.29%) while 271 (79.71%) had no findings of MR. From the total of 69 cases, MR was recorded in 13 (18.84%) as anterior wall MI and 16 (23.19%) as inferior wall MI, p value was calculated as 0.532 which shows insignificant difference. There was a significant difference in hospital stay and mortality between both groups p-value 0.04.
CONCLUSION: Mechanical complications develop after acute myocardial infarction and may be associated with serious outcomes.

Published: March 2024

As vacinas há séculos têm mostrado a sua eficácia na prevenção e erradicação de importantes doenças. Desde o início da pandemia de COVID-19 pesquisadores e profissionais de diferentes áreas, passaram a pesquisar e desenvolver vacinas, acreditando no seu potencial para auxiliar no controle da doença. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi analisar três publicações de dois grandes veículos de informação de massa pela internet relacionadas a divulgação do início e do cancelamento da vacinação de adolescentes de 12 a 17 anos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa social de abordagem qualitativa, que buscou promover uma análise teórico-crítica, de caráter exploratório-descritivo, amparada em pesquisa documental online. Foi utilizado o recurso “Google Busca” com o termo “vacinação covid 12 a 17 anos” e foram selecionas as três primeiras reportagens. Os resultados apontam uma incoerência no discurso do Ministério da Saúde frente a informação disponibilizada pelo próprio governo, no site oficial, sobre a orientação do uso da vacina Pfizer para vacinar adolescentes após a imunização da população acima de 18 anos. Foram encontradas divergências de opiniões entre o governo federal e estadual sobre o recuo da vacinação para essa faixa etária. Controvérsias nos discursos do governo Federal com falta de informações precisas, desinformações e sem o devido embasamento científico podem favorecer o pânico além de fortalecer discursos negacionistas e aumentar a hesitação vacinal.

Published: March 2024

An experiment was conducted during 2021–22 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab for the development of linkage map and identification of QTLs for pyrenophora or Helminthosporium leaf spot resistance in oats (Avena sativa L.). A total of 96 F2 plants were used which was derived from the cross EC/0007662 (resistant source) and EC/0131291 (susceptible source). Linkage map was constructed for genotypic data of 96 population lines with 24 polymorphic SSR markers using QTL cartographer. A total of 7 linkage groups (LGs) had been generated from this data. But out of 7 LGs, 5 LGs remained individually at 0 position (unlinked) i.e. belonged to different group each and LG1 and LG7 were grouped. First LG included ABAM232, ABAM493 and ABAM077 from 0 to 66.5 cM. Similarly, 7th LG had two marker position i.e. ABAM342 and ABAM425. Maximum distance between the two markers was found to be 33.4 cM (between the marker interval of ABAM232 and ABAM497. Further QTL analysis was done using cartographer with composite interval mapping to identify the QTLs associated with disease resistance by comparing the phenotypic data of F2 population for disease and genotypic data of the population. The work reported here constitutes a major step toward identification of genetic regions responsible for disease resistance. However, the utility of QTL for marker assisted selection requires that QTLs are localized in a narrow region tightly linked with associated markers. The result of the experiment can be used for marker assisted breeding to transfer such genes identified as part of our research in order to reduce disease severity and yield losses in oats.

Published: March 2024

A field experiment was conducted during rainy (kharif) seasons of 2018 and 2019 at the research farm of Sri Venkateswara Agricultural College (Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University), Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, to study the effect of planting density on yield and architecture suitability of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) varieties. The experiment included 4 sowing densities (D1, 33.3 plants/m2; D2, 50 plants/m2; D3, 66.6 plants/m2 and D4, 100 plants/m2) and 3 genotypes with varying architecture (G1, Kadiri 6-erect; G2, Kadiri 9-decumbent 2; and G3, Dharani-decumbent 3). The results showed that across planting densities, Dharani and Kadiri 9 genotypes showed higher architectural traits, structural carbohydrates and kernel yield compared to the Kadiri 6. A significant positive correlation was detected between the lodging percentage and both plant height (r = 0.88**) and internodal length (r = 0.61*). Significant negative correlations, were identified between lodging percentage and several parameters, including leaf thickness (r = -0.92**), specific leaf weight (r = -0.93**), stem diameter (r = -0.79**), specific stem weight (r = -0.97**), number of branches (r = -0.72**), cellulose content (r = -0.80**), and lignin content (r = -0.79**). These findings indicate that the decumbent architecture is optimal for achieving groundnut lodging resistance and kernel yield in high-density planting systems.

Fusarium wilt of watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsumura & Nakai] is caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (FON), is the most severe soil-borne disease under the prevailing conditions of Punjab. Present study was carried out during 2018–19 and 2019–20 at the pot house and research farm of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab to evaluate the antagonistic activity of 15 isolates of Bacillus spp. against FON. These isolates were screened by using dual culture assay and among them, Bacillus subtilus (B1) and Bacillus cereus (B3) showed maximum inhibition percentage i.e. 57.00 and 58.22, respectively. Similarly, these isolates (B1 and B3) showed maximum activity of chitinase (2.31 and 2.16 unit/ml) and glucanase (1.72 and 1.79 unit/ml). Further, Talc-based bio- formulations of B1 and B3 isolates were evaluated in pot house and research farm of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab. Amongst all the treatments, Bacillus subtilis (B1) and Bacillus cereus (B3) as seed + soil @15 g treatment showed maximum inhibition of FON. Therefore, based on our findings, Bacillus subtilis (B1) and Bacillus cereus (B3) used as seed + soil treatment was able to effectively manage the fusarium wilt in watermelon under pothouse and field conditions.

Published: March 2024

The onion seed crop is affected by several bacterial and fungal rot, which causes lodging, yield, and seed quality losses. In the present study the performance of three biocontrol agents- Piriformospora indica, Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) and Trichoderma viride with fungicide and bactericide as a standard control in reducing lodging and enhancing the seed yield and quality in onion was evaluated. The results showed that among the bioagents, indica recorded the highest bulb germination (98.39%), highest plant stand (87.10%), umbel diameter (5.01 cm), and lowest lodging (27.56%). Whereas VAM recorded the highest plant height (53.53 cm). The performance of P. indica was equivalent to standard chemical control carbendazim for several characteristics and even superior in characteristics like–seed yield (22.60 g/plant) and seed quality traits like–1000-seed weight (3.69 g), and seed vigour index-II (209.76). These results suggest that onion bulb treatment with P. indica is beneficial in reducing pesticide use and lodging, and increasing the productivity and seed quality. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of P. indica in onion seed crop. Onion seed crop is pollinated by insects, primarily by honeybees, which are highly susceptible to pesticide applications. Therefore, onion seed bulb treatment with P. indica can be an essential component of integrated crop management in onion seed production for sustainable agriculture.
„Isten kedvenc népe” : Felelősség és elkötelezettség Rosenzweig műveiben és életében
Authors: Bartók Ágnes
Published: March 2024

A tanulmányban Franz Rosenzweig felelősséggel kapcsolatos gondolatait mutatja be a szerző, elsősorban az 1921-ben megjelent A megváltás csillaga (Der Stern der Erlösung) című művén keresztül. A tanulmány két hosszabb részre bomlik: vizsgálja egyrészt a felelősség általános, emberi értelmét (azaz azt, hogy mi az, amiért Rosenzweig szerint minden ember felelős), majd rátér a felelősség specifikusan zsidó értelmére (azaz arra, miért felelős a zsidó ember). Elsősorban magára a szövegre és annak nyelvi rétegeire összpontosít a vizsgálat fókusza.

A manapság olyannyira elterjedt populáris filozófia nehezen érthető, ámde rendkívül fontos műveket tesz hozzáférhetővé a széles közönség számára. A filozófiának ez a megközelíthető formája elősegíti az intellektuális kíváncsiságot, és arra ösztönözheti az olvasókat, hogy elgondolkodjanak a létezéssel, az erkölccsel és az emberi tapasztalattal kapcsolatos alapvető kérdéseken. Byung-Chul Han olyan kulcsfontosságú gondolkodóként tűnik ki, aki a 20. századi zsidó filozófiát ügyesen fordítja le populáris nyelvezetre és alakítja a mai kor problémái szempontjából releváns diskurzussá. Han nemcsak értelmezi a 20. századi zsidó filozófusok gondolatait, hanem konstruktív módon aktualizálja is a nyelvezetüket. Pozitív értelemben érthetővé és alkalmazhatóvá teszi fogalmaikat. E tanulmányban két művét vizsgálom meg, amelyekben a dialógusfilozófia jelentős szerepet kap. Gondolatai a digitalizált világban való eligazodáshoz és az elidegenedés érzésének leküzdéséhez nyújtanak útmutatót, hangsúlyozva a rituálék, a fizikai jelenlét és a közösségi lét fontosságát.

Der Leistungsheterogenität in Schulen wird häufig mit dem Konzept der inneren Differenzierung begegnet. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden Chancen und Herausforderungen sowie Gelingensbedingungen der inneren Differenzierung aus der Sicht angehender Lehrpersonen der Primarstufe diskutiert. Grundlage bilden qualitative Zwischenergebnisse des längsschnittlich angelegten Forschungsprojekts «Leistungsheterogenität und innere Differenzierung: Einstellungen und Herausforderungen (angehender) Lehrpersonen» (LiDEH) der PHBern. Angehende Lehrpersonen sehen als Gelingensbedingungen die Selbstständigkeit der Lernenden und die Kompetenz von Lehrpersonen, Lernprozesse zu begleiten. Den Studierenden ist zwar die Wichtigkeit der inneren Differenzierung bewusst, sie sehen aber auch Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung im Unterricht, insbesondere aufgrund fehlender zeitlicher und räumlicher Ressourcen.

A community service scheme for implementing science and technology has been carried out from Srwiijaya University funding sources. Community service is carried out at the Ittifaqiah Islamic Boarding School for women in Indralaya, Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra. Participants who attended were 60 Islamic boarding school students in the science class, 10 science teachers and 2 Ittifaqiah administrators. Community service was carried out using lecture methods and demonstrations of making liquid lipstick in front of female students and teachers. The natural ingredients used in making lipstick in this service activity are beet root extract, virgin coconat oil (VCO), soy lecithin, gum Arabic, food flavors and food preservatives. There were 20 organoleptic tests carried out on Unsri female students on the liquid lipstick made in this service activity. Fifteen people said they really liked it, 3 people said they liked it quite a lot and 2 people said they liked the product a little. The survey on the results of service activities showed that 50 female students said they really understood how to make liquid lipstick, 8 students said they understood quite well how to make liquid lipstick with the red color of beetroot and 2 female students said they understood a little.
Undergraduate Management Research as Deliberate Development of Leaders of Character?
Authors: Bulger Emily , Leestma Peter , DePorres Daphne
Published: March 2024

The United States Air Force Academy’s mission is to “educate, train, and inspire men and women to become officers of character motivated to lead the U.S. Air Force and Space Force in service to our nation.” Leaders of character are expected to (1) Live Honorably, (2) Lift Others, and (3) Elevate Performance through three critical steps of owning, engaging, and practicing their own development journey. The Cadet Summer Research Program (CSRP) is an institution-wide program that provides selected cadets the opportunity to function as independent adults while conducting research outside the classroom, in both military and civilian institutions. Cadets work on research projects in partnership with organizations across the country and are expected to produce results with real-world applications. Given the considerations explored above, we undertook a nascent exploration of the connection between management majors’ CSRP journey and our deliberate approach in developing leaders of character. We strongly suggest that CSRP, as experienced by management majors, unfolds as a transformative experience that contributes to cadets owning the pursuit of their own identity, engaging in purposeful experiences, and practicing habits of thought and action. During this multifaceted process, cadets put into practice what it takes to live honorably, lift others, and elevate performance in socio-technical systems. In many ways, these systems replicate those they will serve as officers, better preparing them to lead in future conflicts.
Space Force Culture
Authors: Suh Chang , Brittain April
Published: March 2024

The word culture is a verb meaning to grow something. Only in the past few centuries has it been used as a noun. This tendency has caused confusion about what it is we are actually growing. As the United States Space Force enters its 4th year as a military service, it behooves space professionals and stakeholders to consider the etymology of important words like culture and Guardian. Given the mission priorities of the USSF, the key is for Guardians to focus on growing, influencing, and culturing one another.

During the period from 2022-2023, three patients underwent surgical treatment involving curettage and bone grafting at our clinic (2 females and 1 male) due to hip pain. In two of them, a non-ossifying fibroma of the femoral neck and acetabulum was observed, while in the third patient, a bone cyst in the femoral neck was established. Due to possible fractures in these areas, the patients underwent surgery involving curettage and bone grafting with a synthetic bone substitute. Postoperatively, the patients had no pain and full range of motion.
TRANSMETACARPAL REPLANTATION. ELEVEN YEARS LATER
Authors: Popova Binka , Mateva Elena , Kaykchian Kevork , Sokolov Deyan
Published: March 2024

A case in a series of nine transmetacarpal replantations was presented at the combined meeting of the 7th European congress on Prevention of Hand Traumas and the 7th congress of the Bulgarian Society for Surgery of the Hand, 19-21 October 2023, Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

     A male patient aged 42, a heavy truck driver, was an ideal candidate for replantation. In February 2012 he sustained transmetacarpal amputation by circular saw through the proximal third of the left hand, with local crush of the tissues. During replantation enormous tissue edema appeared, caused by long ischemia time with cryopreservation of the amputated part for three hours. Restoration of the common digital nerves was postponed and performed 4 months later (Millesi procedure).

    Eleven years later the following outcome is registered. TAM: 110 (good), ab-adduction of 2nd and 4th fingers is restored in limited range. The effect is attributed to reinnervation of some spared interosseous muscles by the motor branch of the ulnar nerve, restored during the autoplastic of the common digital nerves. The lateral pinch between the thumb and second finger is useful.

    The skin sensitivity is examined by Weber static two-point discrimination test (2pdt):12 mm for 2nd and 3rd fingers, 15 mm for the 4th finger and one point for the pulps of the 5th finger and the thumb; 2pdt, carried out on the palm, in the base of the fingers, is 10 mm.

    The gained useful function of the hand is 50%. Original working ability is restored, but it is forbidden for the patient to work as a professional driver. He can drive his own car.

    In transmetacarpal replantations with level through the proximal part of the palm some interosseous muscles are preserved, and repair of the motor branch of the ulnar nerve is with favorable prognosis regarding functional recovery.

Distal femur fractures are always a challenge to an orthopedic surgeon. They may be unstable and comminuted. Thin cortex, wide medullary canal, relative osteopenia and short distal segment adds to the complexity. The present study assessed the functional outcome of using locking compression plate fixation for fractures of distal end of femur in patients admitted to JMMC orthopedics department satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria from December 2017 to may 2019. Twenty cases were taken in this study. Serial follow up was done at 4, 8, 12, 24 weeks and functional outcome was assessed at the end of 24 weeks using NEERS criteria. 18 patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. 2 of the fractures were stabilized via MIPPO technique. No patients had implant failure and none of the cases were complicated by deep infection. 5 of the 20 patients had ‘Excellent’ Neers scores and 14 had ‘Good’ scores. Only one patient had ‘Fair’ score.

Conclusion: Locking compression plate fixation is a safe procedure for supracondylar fractures of distal femur with good functional outcome.  It can be done on a routine basis with a minimum risk of complications.

Against the Odds in Composition and Rhetoric
Authors: Bishop Wendy
Published: March 2024

This chair’s address to the 52nd Annual Convention of the Conference on College Composition and Communication, March 2001, draws on the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins to explore and celebrate a life in composition. Acknowledging institutional fatigue, I outline possibilities for individual renewal, particularly through the process of mentoring new members. Ending with a convention poem, I invite readers to compose their own.
Online Exclusive: Writing Workplace Cultures
Authors: Henry Jim
Published: March 2024

Globalization, or “fast” capitalism, has changed the workplace and writing in it dramatically. Composition epistemologies and practices, elaborated during the twentieth century in tandem with Taylorized workplace literacy requirements, fail to embrace the complexities of writerly sensibilities necessary to students entering the new workforce. To update these epistemologies and practices, MA students in professional writing were positioned as autoethnographers of workplace cultures, reporting to classmates on organizational structures and practices as they affected discursive products and processes. Their studies produced a database of petits recits on workplace cultures, and their work is analyzed for the ways in which it forecasts subjective work identities of writers in the years ahead. Implications are drawn for composition administration, curriculum design, course design, and collaborative work among academics and writers in private and public spheres.
Rhetorics of Survivance: How American Indians Use Writing
Authors: Powell Malea
Published: March 2024

In this story I listen closely to the ways in which two late nineteenth-century American Indian intellectuals, Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins and Charles Alexander Eastman, use the discourses about Indian-ness that circulated during that time period in order to both respond to that discourse and to reimagine what it could mean to be Indian. This use, I argue, is a critical component of rhetorics of survivance.

Making a Case for Rhetorical Grammar
Authors: Micciche Laura R.
Published: March 2024

Rhetorical grammar analysis encourages students to view writing as a material social practice in which meaning is actively made, rather than passively relayed or effortlessly produced. The study of rhetorical grammar can demonstrate to students that language does purposeful, consequential work in the world—work that can be learned and applied.

“Not Too Late to Take the Sanitation Test”: Notes of a Non-Gifted Academic from the Working Class
Authors: Borkowski David
Published: March 2024

Working-class academic narratives reveal a number of common themes, like dual estrangement and internalized class conflict. A less popularized motif is the bookish child who is catapulted out of her working-class origins. But some working-class academics, like myself, were not academically ambitious as children. I am a nontraditional working-class academic, and my distance from narratives of “gifted” ascent may actuallybring me closer to my students.
