A deep learning-based approach for localization of pedicle regions in preoperative CT scans
Authors: Esfandiari Hooman , Anglin Carolyn , Guy Pierre , Hodgson Antony J.
Published: July 2018

Pedicle screw fixation is a common yet technically demanding procedure. Due to the proximity of the inserted implant to the spinal column, a malplaced screw can cause neurological injury and subsequent postoperative complications. A common surgical routine starts with preoperative volumetric image acquisition (e.g. computed tomography) based on which the surgeons can highlight the planned trajectory. This process is generally done manually , which is error prone and time consuming.

The primary purpose of this paper is to develop an automatic pedicle region localization based on preoperative CTs. This system can automatically annotate the CT scans to identify the regions corresponding to the pedicles and thus provide important information about the anatomical placement of the CT scan that can be useful for intraoperative implant position assessment (e.g. to initialize the 2D-3D registration). On the other hand, the pedicle localization can be exploited for preoperative planning.

We designed and evaluated a fully convolutional neural network for the task of pedicle localization. A large training, validation and testing datasets (5000, 1000, 1000 images separately) were created using a custom data augmentation process that could generate unique vertebral morphologies for each image. After evaluation on the validation and test data, the Dice similarity coefficients between the pedicle regions detected by the trained network and the ground truth was 0.85 and 0.83 respectively.

The proposed deep-learning-based algorithm was capable of automatically localizing the regions corresponding to the pedicles based on the preoperative CT scans. Therefore, a reliable initial guess for the 2D-3D registration process needed for intraoperative implant position assessment can be achieved. This system also has potential use in automating the preoperative planning.

Measurement of Intraoperative Range of Motion of Total Hip Arthroplasty Using an Inertial Measurement Unit Based Smart Trial System: an in Vitro Validation Experiment
Authors: Tang Hao , Zhou Yixin , Mai Baojun , Zhu Binjie , Chen Ping , Fu Yujia
Published: July 2018

Intraoperative detection of hip Range of Motion ( ROM ) is the basis for prediction of postoperative functional limits allowed for patients’ daily living. Although computer navigation system for Total Hip Arthroplasty ( THA ) has improved the accuracy of intraoperative ROM evaluation, it has not been able to gain popularity because of its complex and time-consuming procedures. We preliminarily developed a Inertial Measurement Unit based Hip Smart trial system ( IMUHS ) that is easy and simple to use. An in vitro validation experiment was conducted using radiopaque sawbones with imaging measurement method as the reference standard. The validity of measuring ROM in the three axes was as follows: 4.36±4.93°for

flexion and extension, 1.75 ± 5.21°for adduction and abduction, and 6.42 ± 4.32°for internal and external rotation( p = 0.059 ~ 0.550 ). The ICC values of measuring ROM in all three axes

were 1.00. As measuring ROM is the basis for evaluating direction of impingement, subluxation and dislocation, the IMUHS is a promising development direction of THA computer assisted surgery.

Authors: Dai Yifei , Huddleston James , Rueff Matt , Angibaud Laurent , Amanatullah Derek
Published: July 2018

This study employed an advanced method (Cumulative sum control chart, CUSUM) to analyze the learning curve regarding surgical efficiency (time) in four surgeons from different experience levels upon their adoption of a mechanical instrument enhanced by computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS). The first six CAOS-TKA cases of each surgeon were analyzed to identify the case number when their learning process was stabilized (cases to proficiency). The surgical time increase during the learning phase were compared between senior and fellow surgeons. The data demonstrated a short learning duration (2-3 cases) both senior and fellow surgeons and a mild impact from learning compared to cases performed using conventional instrument system.

Authors: Niu Xiaohui , Yang Yongkun , Zhang Qing , Li Yuan , Xu Hairong , Liu Weifeng
Published: July 2018

Background Some malignant pelvic tumor may affect the anterior or posterior column at the acetabula area. The postoperative recurrenceand complication rate are high. Precise resection with safe surgical margin could cure the patients while saving healthier host bone for relative simple reconstruction.

Questions/Purposes The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of precise single column resection and reconstruction with femoral head plus THR for malignant pelvic tumorswith respect to the (1) surgical safety, (2) oncological outcome and (3) prosthesis survivorship and function.

Methods This is a clinical cases study. From 2007 to 2015, 19 patients with primary malignant tumors of the pelvis were enrolled in the study. The diagnosis included 16 cases of chondrosarcoma, 1 case of undifferentiated polymorphic sarcoma, 1 case of Ewing's sarcoma and 1 case of solitary plasmacytoma. All tumors were resected with safe surgical margins, which were proved by the postoperative specimen evaluation. Anterior column was involved in 17 cases and posterior column in 2 cases. Ten of 19 tumors were resected assisted by computer navigation. Femoral heads were used to reconstruct anterior or posterior column defects and fixed by screws; THR was used for the joint reconstruction. Oncologic outcome and function were evaluated by regular follow-up.

Results The follow up time was more than 12 months in 14 cases with the average of 58.4 months (median 61, range 13-118) months. Surgical margins contained wide resection in 12 cases and marginal resection in 7 cases. The bony wide resection rate was 90% (9/10) in the navigation group and 77.8% (7/9) in free hand group respectively. One patient with Ewing's sarcoma died 14 months postoperative due to lung metastasis. There was only one case with chondrosarcoma was found recurrence in 61 months postoperatively, who was in the navigation group and having marginal margin resection. There was one prosthesis removed due to prosthesis infection (14 months postoperatively). There were another two patients with minor wound infection. The average MSTS function score was 24.8 (17-29).

Conclusions The current treatment method is oncological safe and functional with less complications. The hardware is relatively cost effective and right on the shelf. However, this procedure is highly skill needed.

Both, prosthetic design and implantation have a great influence on the impingement and dislocation risk after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Potential impingement risks should be analyzed during THA planning. In order to analyze bony impingement, often 3D meshes of the bony structures have to be transformed and collision between the 3D meshes is calculated which might be complex and time consuming. This work introduces a simplified collision calculation algorithm based on 2D mapping. Possible impingement points on the femur and the pelvis, which are points on a sphere, are extracted and mapped into a 2D plane. Impingement can be calculated using a 2D distance map.

The method was applied for analysing a dislocation case. A 38-year-old female THA patient had a dislocation 3 months after the surgery. The hip dislocated anteriorly in the standing positon while carrying a load in the front (a child) and turning the upper body slightly towards the contralateral side. The cup orientation was within the so called Lewinnek safe zone. The pelvis in standing position was tilted by 11° posteriorly. The impingement analysis revealed that maximal external hip rotation was less than 15° and even less than 10° when the pelvis is tilted more posteriorly which might have been the case during the dislocation. Considering additional soft-tissue involvement, a minor external rotation could in fact be a potential cause for dislocation.

Using the previously introduced prosthetic ROM-based target zone calculation algorithm, optimized THA parameters were determined. This include changing the CCD angle and the stem or neck antetorsion. Using the modified parameters, external rotation of at least 20° would have been possible without bony impingement. The dislocation could have been avoided.

Sadutettu sanasto: puhutun kielen leksikaalinen diversiteetti arviointikohteena
Authors: Honko Mari
Published: July 2018

This study analyses lexical diversity (sums of probabilities) in spoken narratives of L1 and L2 school age children (n = 99) and compares the results to the lexical diversity of written narratives of the group of comparison. The key research questions are: a) does the lexical diversity of the spoken narratives systematically differ from the lexical diversity of written narratives and b) does the lexical diversity of spoken narratives systematically differ depending on five individual variables: lexical skills, language proficiency, L1 , gender and age of the speaker? All the narratives are produced in Finnish in storytelling events during the spring semester of the 2d and 3rd school year. Sums of probabilities is an index of lexical diversity. It is based on widely used D (Malvern & Richards ) and can be used with texts that differ in length and genre.

The results reveal a weak but significant difference between the lexical diversity of spoken and written narratives and weak but complex correlations between the lexical diversity of spoken narratives and the proficiency level as well as the lexical skills of the child. However, there is no correlation or other appreciable connection between the lexical diversity and language background (L1 /L2 ), gender or the school grade of the child. In addition, in L2 group there is no connection between the lexical diversity and the length of residence in Finnish speaking environment or, between the lexical diversity and the specific language difficulties observed by their teacher, either. The results are discussed and compared with the individual differences in turns and turn-taking during the storytelling event tentatively.

The study focuses on how different groups of listeners, that is native Finnish speakers (n = 18), non-native learners of Finnish (n = 12) and non-native non-learners of Finnish (n = 18), judge samples (n = 80) of Russian accented Finnish in an auditory experiment. The samples are read-aloud phrases of three Finnish speakers and three L1 Russian beginner learners of Finnish who were recorded three times at six-month intervals during their residence in Finland. The results show that the listener groups differ significantly from each other in the ability to identify the Russian accented samples. In addition, all the listener groups reported to have paid more attention to prosodic and segmental cues than speech rate. Finally, we conclude by considering implications of the study to further longitudinal studies on perception of foreign accented speech.

Научная деятельность Андрея Алексеевича Дедова, крупного ученого, знатока растительности северных регионов, неразрывно связна со становлением биологических исследований на европейском Северо-Востоке, которые начались в 1934 г. с приходом на пост председателя Бюро по изучению Северного Края при Полярной Комиссии АН СССР известного ботаника Александра Иннокентьевича Толмачева. На базе этого Бюро в 1936 г. в Архангельске была создана Северная База АН СССР, в составе которой с 1939 г. работал А.А. Дедов. Осенью 1941 г. Северную Базу эвакуировали в Сыктывкар, где она совместно с перенесенной сюда же Кольской Базой АН СССР (организованной в г. Кировске академиком А.Ф. Ферсманом) вошла в состав вновь созданной Базы по изучению Севера им. С.М. Кирова. В начале 1944 г. Кольская База была возвращена в г. Кировск, а Северная База АН СССР была преобразована в Коми Базу АН СССР. В ее составе тогда трудились 57 человек, из них 40 научных сотрудников.В структуре Базы АН СССР в Коми АССР тогда были организованы два отдела: геологический, под руководством Александра Александровича Чернова, и биологический, который и возглавил Андрей Алексеевич Дедов, одновременно исполнявший обязанности заведующего сектором геоботаники. В 1949 г. Коми База АН СССР была преобразована в Коми филиал АН СССР, а стоящими тогда у истоков биологических исследований специалистами, в числе которых Андрей Алексеевич Дедов, и были заложены основы будущего Института биологии.

Published: July 2018

In May 2017 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final decision memo for supervised exercise therapy for symptomatic peripheral artery disease. This was because there was sufficient evidence demonstrating the benefit of exercise training for improving pain-free and peak walking time. This training can take place in a clinic setting or within a cardiac rehabilitation program. There were specific instructions for what must take place during supervised exercise training during each session day a patient was present. The goal of this review is to provide background information about the research that led to this decision from CMS. It will also review specifics of a supervised exercise training session and conclude with specifics about the CMS decision memo language as it relates to implementing a supervised exercise training session.

It can also happen to students who study at a place where the culture is different from their home culture as they mayfeel unsettled and anxious. Previous studies uncovered the sources of cultural shock, such asbeing a different culture, having different expectations, facing different customs, speaking a different dialect. Kalvero Oberg (1960) mentioned six negative feelings caused by culture shock, which were: (1) strain resulting from the effort of psychological adaption; (2) a sense of loss or deprivation referring to the removal of former friends, status, role, and possessions; (3) rejection by or rejection of the new culture; (4) confusion in the role definition, role expectations, feelings, and self-identity; (5) unexpected anxiety, disgust, or indignation regarding cultural differences between the old and new ways; and (6) feelings of helplessness as a result of not coping well in the new environment. Other adverse effects of a cultural shock were discouragement, lethargy, depression, suspicion,boredom, homesickness, anger, extreme sensitivity, irritability, loneliness and loss of familiarity.For students studying in a different cultural setting, this cultural shock may have a negativeimpact on them.This research aims to reveal the dominant cause of cultural shock and its effect on the studentswho are studying at Universitas Katolik De La Salle Manado-Indonesia.This study used the Analytical Hierarchy Process for data gathering and analysis. The respondents were students of Universitas Katolik De La Salle Manado who came from different provinces of the country. This study benefited the management of the University to improve theprogram that handled this cultural shock being experienced by the students to enhance theirstudies at the University.

Awalnya sebuah Pendidikan merupakan salah satu sektor terpenting yang harus diperhatikan dalam suatu negara. Karena, untuk melihat bagaimana seberapa sukseskah negara tersebut, tidak perlu bagi seseorang untuk melihat semua yang ada dalam negara itu. Cukup bagaiman saja dengan melihat bagaimana pendidikan di sana, maka seperti itulah negaranya. Sebab itulah pendidikan menjadi tolak ukur sebuah negara. kurikulum itu bersifat dinamis karena telah mengalami perubahan sesuai dengan tuntutan zaman. Semakin maju sebuah peradaban maka semakin berat juga tantangan yang akan dihadapi. Selama revormasi sudah tiga kali terdapat perubahan kurikulum berubah untuk ditelaah dan dan dikembangkan dalam skala Nasional. Perubahan KTSP 2006 ke Kurikulum selanjutnya ialah kurikulum 2013 banyak mengalami perubahan yang mendasar dibanding dengan kurikulum yang sebelumnya adalah pada tingkatan satuan pendidikan dimana implementasinya pada tingkatan satuan pendidikanya mulai dari sekolah dasar, sekolah menengah pertama, sekolah menengah keatas dan juga sekolah menengah kejuruan. Sebuah Prestasi belajar di nyatakan meningkat apabila indikator prestasi belajar meningkat dan meliputi aspek kognitif, aspek afektif dan aspek psikomotorik. Perubahan yang dialami SMP Nurul Jadid jika dilihat dari ex-school pramukanya sangat mengalami perubahan karena yang awalnya pramuka disana hanya sekedar peminatan saja dengan adanya perubahan kurikulum 2013 maka pramuka di SMP Nurul Jadid juga diwajibkan. Semua perubahan tersebut juga untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikanya, perkembangan yang sangat pesat dalam berbagai bidang sangatlah berpengaruh bagi semua lembaga dimanapun karena semua itu dapat mengembangkan mutu pendidikan yang ada dilembaga tersebut.Di wilayah Negara Indonesia, suatu lembaga pendidikan sangatlah cepat berkembang pesat, baik suatu lembaga pendidikan formal juga dibalik pendidikan foramal pasti ada pendidikan yang non formal. Pada dasarnya Pendidikan adalah suatu wadah bagi berkembangnya sumber daya yang dapat berkualitas. Oleh sebab itu, pendidikan itu sudah menjadi kebutuhan pokok bagi masyarakat. Di Indonesia, lembaga pendidikan sangatlah berkembang pesat, baik lembaga pendidikan formal ataupun non-formal.

Eye behavior does not adapt to expected visual distraction during internally directed cognition
Authors: Annerer-Walcher Sonja , Körner Christof , Benedek Mathias
Published: July 2018

When focused on a specific internal task like calculating a multiplication in mind we are able to ignore sensory distraction. This may be achieved by effective perceptual decoupling during internally directed cognition. The present study investigated whether decoupling from external events during internally directed cognition represents an active shielding mechanism that adapts to expected external distraction or a passive/automatic shielding mechanism that is independent of external distraction. Participants performed multiplications in mind (e.g. 26 x 7), a task that required to turn attention inward as soon as the problem was encoded. At the beginning of a block of trials, participants were informed whether or not distractors could appear during the calculation period, thereby potentially allowing them to prepare for the distractors. We tracked their eye behavior as markers of perceptual decoupling and workload. Turning attention inward to calculate the multiplication elicited evidence of perceptual decoupling for five of six eye parameters: blink rate, saccade and microsaccade rate increased, gaze was less constricted to the center, and pupils dilated. Although participants perceived blocks with distractors as more challenging, performance and eye behavior markers of both perceptual decoupling and workload were unaffected. This result supports the notion of perceptual decoupling as an automatic mechanism: focusing inward induces desensitization to external events independent of external distraction.
To Reappraise or Not to Reappraise? Emotion Regulation Choice and Cognitive Energetics

Research shows that cognitive reappraisal is an effective emotion regulation (ER) strategy that often has clear benefits. Yet, surprisingly, recent findings demonstrate that people use cognitive reappraisal less frequently than might be expected (Suri, Whittaker & Gross, 2015). We employ cognitive energetics theory (CET) to explain this puzzling behavior. CET posits that the likelihood of launching any cognitive process is a function of two opposing forces: the driving force (i.e., the motivation to launch the process) and the restraining force (i.e., task difficulty). We thus hypothesized that people choose to use cognitive reappraisal relatively rarely because of the difficulty of implementing it. We also postulated that the decision to reappraise (or not) does not simply depend on stimuli emotional intensity because the latter is associated with both the driving and the restraining forces. In support of our hypotheses, we found that when the images’ emotional intensity posed difficulty for reappraisal (i.e. highly intense images) reducing this difficulty by asking participants to merely predict others’ (Study 1) or their own choices (Study 2), increased reappraisal choice. Finally, in Study 3, we showed that a relatively easy to implement reappraisal strategy was chosen more often than the more difficult one for high (but not low) intensity images. These findings illustrate the relevance of a CET-based motivational analysis to emotion regulation choice.

SAŽETAK: Amputacija prsta čest je javnozdravstveni problem koji je moguće spriječiti. Studija definira epidemiologiju amputacije prsta kako bi se utvrdili najvažniji čimbenici i predložila strategija prevencije. Studija je provedena 2015. u glavnoj sveučilišnoj ortopedskoj bolnici u Shirazu. U studiju su bili uključeni svi bolesnici s bilo kojom vrstom amputacije prsta. Za svakog bolesnika je popunjen i analiziran upitnik s demografskim podacima i tipom ozljede. Sudjelovalo je 100 bolesnika (92 muškarca i 9 žena, prosječne dobi 32.5 ± 18 godina). Najveći broj bolesnika bili su mlađi muškarci. Više od polovice (53 slučaja) pretrpjeli su ozljede na radu u vezi s radom. Amputacija prsta zbog nagnječenja u vratima bila je drugi najčešći uzrok amputacije (18 %). Približno 59 % ozlijeđenih navelo je nepažnju pri radu kao uzrok nezgode. Amputacije prsta desne ruke bile su brojčano jednake amputacijama na lijevoj ruci. Najviše je bilo amputacija kažiprsta (27 %) i srednjeg prsta (2 %). Utvrđeno je da su mlađi, slabije obrazovani muškarci te početnici na poslu podložni najvećem riziku od amputacije prstiju, naročito ako imaju povijest zlouporabe droga. Hitno je potrebno provesti sljedeće učinkovite mjere: veći nadzor, više programa osposobljavanja, otkrivanje ovisnosti o drogama i korištenje sigurnijih strojeva.

When the asymmetric aldol reactions are catalyzed by amino acids in water, a certain amount of organic solvents such as ethanol, tetrahydrofuran still had to combine with water to dissolve the organic aldehydes and promote the reaction. But to protect the environment our aim is to completely eliminate the use of organic solvent, therefore we have started to investigate a new system for amino acids catalyzed aldol reaction in water without using any organic solvents. Mainly we use organic solvent to form a homogeneous phase for all reactants which is not possible if the solvent is water, as it makes most organic substances spasingly soluble in water. This drawback could be overcome if we use surfactants, which solubilise organic compounds in water. Thereafter, we planned to use cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant to solubilise the substrate p-nitrobenzaldehyde (PNB) and to perform in this aqueous micellar solution a L-proline catalyzed aldol reaction. A quite different mechanism has been proposed in water.
