Censorship, Reissues, and the Popularity of Political Miscellanies
Authors: McTague John
Published: January 2017

This article begins with a literary and material analysis of two instances of post- and intra-publication censorship in Poems on Affairs of State, vol. 4 (1707), and The Foundling Hospital for Wit (1743, 1744). As well as illuminating the climate in which political materials were read and circulated, these interventions both turn one bibliographical item into something that looks like two, presenting problems for the way they are represented in the Digital Miscellanies Index (DMI) and other bibliographical databases. For, by certain blunt measures of “popularity,” in such databases it may appear that these works are twice as “popular” as they actually were. But the story is more complicated than that, as a closer attention to print-shop practice and the culture of bookselling reveals. The evidence gathered regarding these miscellanies and the methods used to censor them enables a wider critique of some dominant methodologies employed in assessing popularity in bibliographical study. Reissues are often discounted by bibliographers taking quantitative approaches to popularity, because they are not taken to be signs of expected demand, as new editions are. This article argues that, on the contrary, reissues can tell richer, more various, and more detailed stories about demand, making the history of certain bibliographical items more legible.
Old & New Foundling Hospitals for Wit in the Age of the Digital Miscellanies Index
Authors: Nichol Donald W.
Published: January 2017

Literary miscellanies have long been popular. Richard Tottel's 1557 collection, Songes and Sonettes, gathered the works of various Tudor poets. In 1684, Jacob Tonson and John Dryden launched a miscellany that reached six volumes by 1709. By 1743, the time was ripe for a satirical miscellany; Sir Robert Walpole's reign as Britain's prime minister had just come to an end, and Pope revised his Dunciad to devastating effect. Out of the mix of political uncertainty and satiric excess emerged The Foundling Hospital for Wit, which ran to six volumes by 1749. It offered a potpourri of parodies set to old tunes and prose extracts haranguing the new administration and promoting amputation with Swiftian gusto. One of the problems facing twenty-first-century readers is how to get a handle on what exactly is being satirized. In order to gain a fuller understanding of how this collection and its sequel, The New Foundling Hospital for Wit (1768-73), came about, we need to probe its printers, booksellers, and editors, whose names, more often than not, are omitted or disguised. Ornaments provide one key to determining who printed what. The Foundling Hospital for Wit appears to have been the brainchild of Sir Charles Hanbury Williams. The New Foundling Hospital for Wit starts off with his poem, “Isabella,” which stands up well beside Rape of the Lock. A vehicle for John Wilkes and his radical bookseller John Almon, this later miscellany offered up the most audacious satires and politicized engravings of its time.
“A Just and Graceful Elocution”: Miscellanies and Sociable Reading
Authors: Williams Abigail
Published: January 2017

This article explores the role of miscellany collections as aids to recitation and education. It offers an insight into the perceived social and cultural roles of literature in the later eighteenth century, and suggests some of the ways we might use miscellanies to understand the relationship between the practical, educational, and aspirational uses of poetry, and the formation of a literary canon. Recitation miscellanies not only showed readers how to achieve affect, but they also gave them collections of literature to appreciate, and some introduction to the terms on which those readers might value the texts that they encountered. In examining the numerous recital collections of this period, we can see not only the close connection between miscellany publication and the contemporary social vogue for reading aloud, but also the ways in which miscellany texts mediated a whole range of cultural concerns, from social aspiration, to moral rectitude.
Towards a CRISPR view of early human development: applications, limitations and ethical concerns of genome editing in human embryos
Authors: Plaza Reyes Alvaro , Lanner Fredrik
Published: January 2017

Developmental biologists have become increasingly aware that the wealth of knowledge generated through genetic studies of pre-implantation mouse development might not easily be translated to the human embryo. Comparative studies have been fueled by recent technological advances in single-cell analysis, allowing in-depth analysis of the human embryo. This field could shortly gain more momentum as novel genome editing technologies might, for the first time, also allow functional genetic studies in the human embryo. In this Spotlight article, we summarize the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system and discuss its potential applications and limitations in human pre-implantation embryos, and the ethical considerations thereof.

Authors: Alves Allan Carlos , Melo Kallinne Rodrigues de , Andrade Douglas Santos de , Macedo Clicia De Lima Vasconcelos , Souza Monaiza Isaias de
Published: January 2017

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar se a satisfação dos clientes de marcas próprias decorrentes a partir da experiência, da confiança e do compromisso da marca, favorecendo a lealdade, e consequentemente, a aceitação da marca em supermercados no município de Campina Grande, Paraíba. O estudo é transversal, conduzido mediante pesquisa de campo com 823 clientes. A análise da validade dos instrumentos de medição deu-se com análise fatorial exploratória e a validação da confiabilidade pelo fator de alfa Cronbach. De acordo com os resultados, a gestão adequada de produtos de marcas próprias favorece a aceitação desses produtos ao público consumidor, pois corroboram no amadurecimento dos clientes, tornando-os experientes em comprar produtos de marca própria. Em relação à intenção de compra desses produtos, a lealdade da marca, em certa medida, se baseia na satisfação que o cliente tem com a marca já estabelecida. Em menor grau, a intenção de compra também depende do compromisso do cliente com as marcas próprias em categorias de produtos tradicionais. Nessas relações, a experiência influenciará fortemente a satisfação e a confiança, que por sua vez, influencia fortemente a lealdade e o compromisso.

Published: January 2017

O estudo objetivou analisar os fatores de clima organizacional em uma indústria de cosméticos localizada na Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza. O instrumento de pesquisa utilizado foi aplicado a 209 colaboradores da empresa e possui 35 itens associados a uma escala de amplitude de 4 pontos. Para análise e interpretação dos dados foi realizada análise multivariada de dados, Análise Fatorial Exploratória, com suporte do software denominado Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, (SPSS), versão 20. Foram identificados e definidos 6 fatores, de forma decrescente, são eles: Papel do líder; Coesão entre colegas; Suporte físico e material; Bem-estar no trabalho; Poder e Hierarquia e Respeito a diversidade. Concluiu-se que, na organização estudada, espera-se que o líder assuma papel diretivo, o que é compreensível no contexto de trabalho industrial. Além disso, anseia-se por relações horizontais, em que os cargos não influenciem as interações sociais. O suporte físico e material, representado, pelo uso de equipamentos em condições satisfatórias é também indicativo de clima organizacional. Sentir-se acolhido pela empresa é fator de bem-estar. Além disso, a hierarquia e o exercício do poder informa que a relação líder-liderado pode produzir um ambiente aversivo, quando a “equação” trabalhador-líder/chefe-organização não está bem estruturada. Por último, o aspecto da diversidade é apontado, e sugere que a gestão do clima deve ir além dos aspectos relacionados a gestão do trabalho em si, mas é importante incorporar que as manifestações humanas se façam presentes no ambiente laboral. A identificação do conjunto de fatores merece maior aprofundamento teórico, de forma que as definições possam ser refletidas conceitualmente. O reporte a teoria limitou-se ao levantamento de dimensões em diversos modelos, sem que a pretensão fosse abranger todo o clima organizacional, mas a apreensão mais sistemática do fenômeno.

Preconceito maquiado: o racismo no mundo fashionista e da beleza
Authors: Lage Mariana Luísa da Costa , Perdigão Denis Alves , Pena Felipe Gouvêa , Silva Matheus Arcelo Fernandes
Published: January 2017

Neste artigo, analisou-se discursos sobre o blackface no mundo fashionista e da beleza a partir da busca pela representatividade e pelo protagonismo negro, em contraponto a uma liberdade de expressão artística do profissional da área. Foi investigado um caso de blackface publicado pela empresa de cosméticos Avon em sua rede social. O corpus de análise constituiu-se por discursos presentes nos comentários registrados na referida publicação. Os dados foram categorizados e analisados com base na vertente da análise crítica do discurso teorizada por Dijk (2012). Evidenciou-se que as práticas racistas continuam disseminadas na sociedade e seu reconhecimento ainda é dificultado por sua naturalização. Também foi evidenciado que a percepção do blackface como arte ou prática racista não está diretamente relacionada à cor da pele de quem a analisa, mas à sua percepção cognitiva embasada na sua cultura, experiência de vida, capacidade crítica, conhecimento histórico, entre outros fatores.
Mobile pump deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis
Authors: Haynes J. , Barrack R. L. , Nam D.
Published: January 2017

Aims

The purpose of this article was to review the current literature pertaining to the use of mobile compression devices (MCDs) for venous thromboembolism (VTE) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA), and to discuss the results of data from our institution.

Patients and Methods

Previous studies have illustrated higher rates of post-operative wound complications, re-operation and re-admission with the use of more aggressive anticoagulation regimens, such as warfarin and factor Xa inhibitors. This highlights the importance of the safety, as well as efficacy, of the chemoprophylactic regimen.

Results

Studies have shown a symptomatic VTE rate of 0.92% with use of MCDs for prophylaxis, which is comparable with rates seen with more aggressive anticoagulation protocols. A prior prospective study found that use of a pre-operative risk stratification protocol based on personal history of deep vein thrombosis, family history of VTE, active cancer, or a hypercoaguable state allowed for the avoidance of aggressive prophylactic anticoagulation in over 70% of patients while maintaining a low incidence of symptomatic VTE.

Conclusion

Further investigation is needed into the role of aspirin in VTE prophylaxis as well as the efficacy of MCDs as stand-alone prophylactic treatment. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B(1 Supple A):8–13.
Periprosthetic femoral fractures and trying to avoid them
Authors: Carli A. V. , Negus J. J. , Haddad F. S.
Published: January 2017

Aims

Periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) are devastating complications that are associated with functional limitations and increased overall mortality. Although cementless implants have been associated with an increased risk of PFF, the precise contribution of implant geometry and design on the risk of both intra-operative and post-operative PFF remains poorly investigated. A systematic review was performed to aggregate all of the PFF literature with specific attention to the femoral implant used.

Patients and Methods

A systematic search strategy of several journal databases and recent proceedings from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons was performed. Clinical articles were included for analysis if sufficient implant description was provided. All articles were reviewed by two reviewers. A review of fundamental investigations of implant load-to-failure was performed, with the intent of identifying similar conclusions from the clinical and fundamental literature.

Results

In total 596 articles were initially identified, with 34 being eligible for analysis. Aggregate analysis of 1691 PFFs in 342 719 primary THAs revealed a significantly higher number of PFFs with cementless femoral implants (p < 0.001). Single-wedge and double-wedge (fit-and-fill) femoral implants were associated with a threefold increase in PFF rates (p < 0.001) compared with anatomical, fully coated and tapered/rounded stems. Within cemented stems, loaded-taper (Exeter) stems were associated with more PFFs than composite-beam (Charnley) stems (p = 0.004). Review of the fundamental literature revealed very few studies comparing cementless component designs.

Conclusion

Very few studies within the PFF literature provide detailed implant information. Cementless implants, specifically those of single-wedge and double-wedge, have the highest PFF rates in the literature, with most investigations recommending against their use in older patients with osteoporotic bone. This review illustrates the need for registries and future PFF studies to record implant name and information for future analysis. Furthermore, future biomechanical investigations comparing modern implants are needed to clarify the precise contribution of implant design to PFF risk.

Not all cementless femoral stems are created equal but the results may be comparable
Authors: Carlson S. W. , Liu S. S. , Callaghan J. J.
Published: January 2017

Aims

The aim of this study was to compare the survivorship and radiographic outcomes at ten-year follow-up of three prospective consecutive series of patients each of which received a different design of cementless femoral components for total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Patients and Methods

In Cohort 1, 91 consecutive patients (100 hips) underwent THA with a cementless porous-coated anatomic femoral stem (PCA) between October 1983 and January 1986. In Cohort 2, 86 consecutive patients (100 hips) underwent THA with an extensively porous-coated cementless femoral stem (Prodigy) between June 1994 and October 1997. In Cohort 3, 88 consecutive patients (100 hips) underwent THA with a proximally porous-coated triple-tapered cementless stem (Summit) between April 2002 and October 2003. All three groups underwent prospective clinical and radiographic evaluation.

Results

Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis of Cohort 1 was 91% (95% confidence interval (CI) 88 to 94) with an endpoint of revision for any reason and 97% (95% CI 95 to 99) with aseptic loosening as the endpoint. Survivorship of Cohort 2 was 88% (95% CI 79 to 97) for revision for any reason and 100% for aseptic loosening. Survivorship of Cohort 3 was 95% (95% CI 91 to 99) for revision for any reason and 100% with aseptic loosening as the endpoint.

Conclusion

With revision for aseptic loosening of the femoral component as the endpoint, the three femoral components with different design philosophies demonstrated excellent survivorship, ranging from 97% to 100% at ten years. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B(1 Supple A):14–17.
Conversion of a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty to a total knee arthroplasty
Authors: Thienpont E.
Published: January 2017

Objectives

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a potential treatment for isolated bone on bone osteoarthritis when limited to a single compartment. The risk for revision of UKA is three times higher than for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this review was to discuss the different revision options after UKA failure.

Materials and Methods

A search was performed for English language articles published between 2006 and 2016. After reviewing titles and abstracts, 105 papers were selected for further analysis. Of these, 39 papers were deemed to contain clinically relevant data to be included in this review.

Results

The most common reasons for failure are liner dislocation, aseptic loosening, disease progression of another compartment and unexplained pain. UKA can be revised to or with another UKA if the failure mode allows reconstruction of the joint with UKA components. In case of disease progression another UKA can be added, either at the patellofemoral joint or at the remaining tibiofemoral joint. Often the accompanying damage to the knee joint doesn’t allow these two former techniques resulting in a primary TKA. In a third of cases, revision TKA components are necessary. This is usually on the tibial side where augments and stems might be required.

Conclusions

In case of failure of UKA, several less invasive revision techniques remain available to obtain primary results. Revision in a late stage of failure or because of surgical mistakes might ask for the use of revision components limiting the clinical outcome for the patients.

Reconstruction of non-contained acetabular defects with impaction grafting, a reinforcement mesh and a cemented polyethylene acetabular component
Authors: Waddell B. S. , Della Valle A. Gonzalez
Published: January 2017

This review summarises the technique of impaction grafting with mesh augmentation for the treatment of uncontained acetabular defects in revision hip arthroplasty.

The ideal acetabular revision should restore bone stock, use a small socket in the near-anatomic position, and provide durable fixation. Impaction bone grafting, which has been in use for over 40 years, offers the ability to achieve these goals in uncontained defects. The precepts of modern, revision impaction grafting are that the segmental or cavitary defects must be supported with a mesh; the contained cavity is filled with vigorously impacted morselised fresh-frozen allograft; and finally, acrylic cement is used to stabilise the graft and provide rigid, long-lasting fixation of the revised acetabular component.

Favourable results have been published with this technique. While having its limitations, it is a viable option to address large acetabular defects in revision arthroplasty.

Correcting severe valgus deformity
Authors: Lange J. , Haas S. B.
Published: January 2017

Valgus knee deformity can present a number of unique surgical challenges for the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgeon. Understanding the typical patterns of bone and soft-tissue pathology in the valgus arthritic knee is critical for appropriate surgical planning. This review aims to provide the knee arthroplasty surgeon with an understanding of surgical management strategies for the treatment of valgus knee arthritis.

Lateral femoral and tibial deficiencies, contracted lateral soft tissues, attenuated medial soft tissues, and multiplanar deformities may all be present in the valgus arthritic knee. A number of classifications have been reported in order to guide surgical management, and a variety of surgical strategies have been described with satisfactory clinical results. Depending on the severity of the deformity, a variety of TKA implant designs may be appropriate for use.

Regardless of an operating surgeon’s preferred surgical strategy, adherence to a step-wise approach to deformity correction is advised.

Obesity in total hip arthroplasty
Authors: Haynes J. , Nam D. , Barrack R. L.
Published: January 2017

Aims

The purpose of our study is to summarise the current scientific findings regarding the impact of obesity on total hip arthroplasty (THA); specifically the influence of obesity on the timing of THA, incidence of complications, and effect on clinical and functional outcomes.

Materials and Methods

We performed a systematic review that was compliant with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to identify prospective studies from the PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases that evaluated primary THA in obese (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2) patients.

Results

There were 17 articles included in the review, which encompassed 13 722 THA patients. Analysis of the included studies showed that, when compared with non-obese patients, obesity was associated with younger age at time of primary THA, and an increased incidence of complications (up to four-fold). Results were mixed on the influence of obesity on the outcomes of primary THA, with three studies showing a detrimental effect on outcomes of a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, while eight studies showed no effect.

Conclusion

Obesity is associated with significantly younger age at time of primary THA and obese patients are likely to experience a higher rate of peri-operative complications. More investigation is needed into the effect of obesity on clinical outcomes, as the current literature is mixed. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B(1 Supple A):31–6.
Joint registries
Authors: Berry D. J.
Published: January 2017

Aims

To demonstrate, with concrete examples, the value of in-depth exploration and comparison of data published in National Joint Arthroplasty registry reports.

Patients and Methods

The author reviewed published current reports of National Joint Arthroplasty registries for findings of current significance to current orthopaedic practice.

Results

A total of six observations that demonstrate actionable or unexpected findings from joint registries are described. These include: one third to one half of all arthroplasty failures in the first decade occur in the first one to two years; infection rates after arthroplasty have not declined in the last three decades; infection after TKA is more common in men than women; outcomes of TKA are more variable in young compared with older patients; new technologies (uncemented implants and crosslinked polyethylene) have improved results of THA and a real-time shift in use of ceramic femoral heads is occurring in THA.

Conclusion

These six observations may be used to better understand current practice, stimulate practice improvements or suggest topics for further study. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B(1 Supple A):3–7
Dislocation following total hip arthroplasty using dual mobility acetabular components
Authors: De Martino I. , D’Apolito R. , Soranoglou V. G. , Poultsides L. A. , Sculco P. K. , Sculco T. P.
Published: January 2017

Aims

The aim of this systematic review was to report the rate of dislocation following the use of dual mobility (DM) acetabular components in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Materials and Methods

A systematic review of the literature according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines was performed. A comprehensive search of Pubmed/Medline, Cochrane Library and Embase (Scopus) was conducted for English articles between January 1974 and March 2016 using various combinations of the keywords “dual mobility”, “dual-mobility”, “tripolar”, “double-mobility”, “double mobility”, “hip”, “cup”, “socket”. The following data were extracted by two investigators independently: demographics, whether the operation was a primary or revision THA, length of follow-up, the design of the components, diameter of the femoral head, and type of fixation of the acetabular component.

Results

In all, 59 articles met our inclusion criteria. These included a total of 17 908 THAs which were divided into two groups: studies dealing with DM components in primary THA and those dealing with these components in revision THA. The mean rate of dislocation was 0.9% in the primary THA group, and 3.0% in the revision THA group. The mean rate of intraprosthetic dislocation was 0.7% in primary and 1.3% in revision THAs.

Conclusion

Based on the current data, the use of DM acetabular components are effective in minimising the risk of instability after both primary and revision THA. This benefit must be balanced against continuing concerns about the additional modularity, and the new mode of failure of intraprosthetic dislocation. Longer term studies are needed to assess the function of these newer materials compared with previous generations. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B(1 Supple A):18–24.
Spinopelvic mobility and acetabular component position for total hip arthroplasty
Authors: Stefl M. , Lundergan W. , Heckmann N. , McKnight B. , Ike H. , Murgai R. , Dorr L. D.
Published: January 2017

Aims

Posterior tilt of the pelvis with sitting provides biological acetabular opening. Our goal was to study the post-operative interaction of skeletal mobility and sagittal acetabular component position.

Materials and Methods

This was a radiographic study of 160 hips (151 patients) who prospectively had lateral spinopelvic hip radiographs for skeletal and implant measurements. Intra-operative acetabular component position was determined according to the pre-operative spinal mobility. Sagittal implant measurements of ante-inclination and sacral acetabular angle were used as surrogate measurements for the risk of impingement, and intra-operative acetabular component angles were compared with these.

Results

Post-operatively, ante-inclination and sacral acetabular angles were within normal range in 133 hips (83.1%). A total of seven hips (4.4%) had pathological imbalance and were biologically or surgically fused hips. In all, 23 of 24 hips had pre-operative dangerous spinal imbalance corrected.

Conclusions

In all, 145 of 160 hips (90%) were considered safe from impingement. Patients with highest risk are those with biological or surgical spinal fusion; patients with dangerous spinal imbalance can be safe with correct acetabular component position. The clinical relevance of the study is that it correlates acetabular component position to spinal pelvic mobility which provides guidelines for total hip arthroplasty.

Retraction: Post-operative neuropathy after total hip arthroplasty
Authors: Su E. P.
Published: January 2017

Nerve palsy is a well-described complication following total hip arthroplasty, but is highly distressing and disabling. A nerve palsy may cause difficulty with the post-operative rehabilitation, and overall mobility of the patient. Nerve palsy may result from compression and tension to the affected nerve(s) during the course of the operation via surgical manipulation and retractor placement, tension from limb lengthening or compression from post-operative hematoma. In the literature, hip dysplasia, lengthening of the leg, the use of an uncemented femoral component, and female gender are associated with a greater risk of nerve palsy. We examined our experience at a high-volume, tertiary care referral centre, and found an overall incidence of 0.3% out of 39 056 primary hip arthroplasties. Risk factors found to be associated with the incidence of nerve palsy at our institution included the presence of spinal stenosis or lumbar disc disease, age younger than 50, and smoking. If a nerve palsy is diagnosed, imaging is mandatory and surgical evacuation or compressive haematomas may be beneficial. As palsies are slow to recover, supportive care such as bracing, therapy, and reassurance are the mainstays of treatment.

Published: January 2017

Many studies showsthat rice starch is well-absorbed in gastrointestinaltract, even better as a composition with electrolyte to overcome diarrhea. Although in small number, there is still a various prevalence of carbohydrate malabsorption, both with rice starch and with other starch. Khin-Maung-U found significant (66.5%) prevalence of rice starch in Burmese children malabsorption, whereas rice starch is readily obtained in countries with rice as the population staple food,so thatability to absorb rice starch in Indonesian children need to be studied. Breath hydrogen test (BHT) was performed in 86 Indonesian children aged 1-3 years on Pejaten Barat Subdistrict, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta. Among the 86 children given meal test with rice starch cakes 80 g for eachchildren, 82 children (95.3%) can absorb rice starch well, but 4 children (4.7%) suffered from rice starch alabsorption. Currentlyit is unknown certainly the type of the malabsorption. Previous researchers found that rice malabsorption is due to enzyme deficiency and intestinal motility disturbance. In this study there were 16 children (18.6%) coming from social-economically underprivileged family, most of the mothers with junior high school and lower educational level, and the majority of parent occupation were on private and labor sectors. There was no significant relation (p >0.05) between diarrhea effects on rice starch malabsorption in 6 children (7%), history of low birth weight baby (15.1%), undernourished or malnutrition status in 35 children (40.7%), and worm and/or fungal infection in 17 children (19.8%).found that rice malabsorption is due to enzyme deficiency and intestinal motility disturbance.

Abdominal tuberculosis in children
Authors: Nataprawira Heda Melinda , Komalia Henny
Published: January 2017

Abdominal tuberculosis is one of the extrapulmonary tuberculosis commonly found in adolescens, however, due to its non-specific and vague abdominal symptoms, it is rarely found and reported in children. To evaluate abdominaltuberculosis in children from clinical point of view, we conducted a 5-year retrospective study on children hospitalized over a period of 1995 to 1999 in Hasan Sadikin Hospital-Bandung. Of the 15 children diagnosed as having abdominal tuberculosis, 10 (66.7%) were female and 5 (33,3%) male, age ranged from 14 – 162 months and most of them were > 10 years of age.On admission, abdominal distention was the most common complaint found (60.0%), followed by dyspnoe 3 (20.0%), abdominal pain 2 (13.3%) and generalized oedem 1 (6.7%). Most of the children (93.3%) were undernourished which half of them were severely undernourished. Seven children showed positive Mantoux testing with PPD 5 TU. There was familyhistory of adults TB discovered in 9 (60%) of the children. Eighty-percent had BCG vaccination and 6 (50%) of the showed positive scarr. Chest X-ray showed pulmonal and/or pleural involvement in 13 of the 15 children (86.7%). All ascitic fluid taken from 9 patients showed increased protein level and lymphocyte predominance. Histopathologic examinations of 5 childrensupported the diagnosis. There was no positive results of acid fast bacilli and culture done for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in gastric aspirate as well as ascitic fuid. Peritonitis tuberculosis was most commonly diagnosed (80.0%), followed by mesenterial/nodal tuberculosis (20.0%). All of the children followed (60.0%) responded well to the drugs therapy.

This is a retrospective study by collecting data from the medical record of children diagnosed as allergic rhinitis at the Pediatric Allergy & Immunology out patient clinic at Denpasar Hospital between January 1996 and December 2000. Reported data including identifying patient, signs and symptoms, atopic history of the family, skin prick test (SPT) result and the environmental factors. Fifty-five from 297 children (18.5%) attending the Pediatric Allergy & Immunology out patient clinic were diagnosed as allergic rhinitis. Thirty nine were male and 16 female. The age ranged from 6 months to 15 years old. The majority of signs and symptom were sneezing and rhinorrhea (26%), itchy nose (23%), blocked nose (14%) and itchy eyes(12%).. Four children had history of atopic dermatitis, 1 food allergy, 10 asthma, 3 urticaria, 2 drug allaaaergy, 4 h-ad history of both atopic dermatitis and urticaria, 13 both asthma and urticaria, 2 both asthma and drug allergy and 6 children had no history of allergic diseases. Thirty three (60%) one of the parents and 12 (21.8%) both parents ever had allergic diseases. According to SPT, 27 (55.1%) of this children had positive reaction to inhalant allergen, 13 (26.5%) to food allergen and 13 (26.5%) had negative reaction.

Urinary incontinence in children is a complex problem of varying causes. Most children brought to physician for evaluation of difficulties with urinary control will have single or diurnal enuresis, or will be experiencing urgency associated with functional or organic incontinence. To find out the magnitude of urinary incontinence problems in Child Health Department Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta, we retrospectively looked at medical report of such cases between the years of 1989-2001. During eleven years there were 20 cases, consisted of 10 males and 10 females, aged ranged between 3 months up to 16 years. Nineteen children showed significant bacteriuria defined as a urinary tract infection. Ten children were diagnosed as having neurogenic bladder, all had spinal lesions; 7 children had spinal dysraphyism while 3 others had osteolityc lesions in vertebrae due to malignancy. Non neurogenic bladder was defined in 6 children, while in other 4 children we defined that urinary incontinence was caused by anatomical abnormalities. Vesico-ureteral reflux in various degree were found in 9 children, while 11 out of 20 (55%) cases were experiencing chronic renal failure on their first visit. Although the annual incidence of urinary incontinence is low, these difficult cases causing many problems. Breakthrough infection was almost unpreventable and in most cases had progressed to renal failure. Many factors such as invasive procedures and prolonged treatment causing fear and frustration to the patients and their parents leading to poor compliance and lost to follow up. In summary we can conclude that urinary incontinence in children is a complex problem include medically, economically, and socially, not only for the patient and their parents, but also for medical profession.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the adjustment of mathematical models for determining Bauhinia monandra leaf area using the length and/or width of the leaves as independent variables. Leaves from plants with three years were used to the estimative of equations in linear, quadratic and potential models. The validation from the estimated leaf area as a function of the observed leaf area showed that the linear model based on the product of length and width of the largest leaf surface is the model that best fits. However, the leaf area determination can be represented by using only the length or width of the leaves with little loss of accuracy. A representation that better estimates Bauhinia monandra leaf area with easy application is the potential model in which xi represents the length of one of the symmetrical leaf lobes.

The objective of this study was to evaluate, with the use of artificial neural networks, the influence of some environmental variables in litterfall. The study was conducted on the gallery forest along ‘Lava-pés’ stream in Goiás State, Brazil where the experimental site (3 ha) was structured in a grid of 60 litterfall traps, with 0.33 m2 each and held 0.65 m above the soil, georeferenced and spaced at intervals of 32 x 32 m. Litterfall was monthly collected from December 2011 to November 2012. All litterfall samples were manually separated into three fractions: leaves (LE), branch bark (BB), and reproductive parts (RP). Relevance of climate , temporal, spatial and phytosociological variables in litterfall deposition were evaluated, through sensitivity analysis provided by the artificial neural network with the best performance. According to the statistical analysis, all variables were significant in the phenomenon, while the variable time (months of the year) was the most important for litterfall in the evaluated area. Artificial neural networks are shown as a powerful tool for litterfall analysis.

This study aimed to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters and provide knowledge for breeding programs aiming at the selection of the main characters of assessment in soybeans. The experiment was installed in Sabia farm, located at ‘Serra das Laranjeiras” , in the municipality of Currais, Piaui, Brazil, during the 2011/2012 crop year using a randomized block design with 27 genotypes and three repetitions. The evaluated variables were: height at flowering (APF), height at maturity (APM), pod insertion height (AIV), grain yield (PG), number of nodes (NN) and number of pods (NV). The obtained heritability coefficients were from medium to high, for all evaluated characters, ranging from 0.53 to 0.94, for grain yield and plant height at flowering, respectively. These high heritability were confirmed by the high degree of genetic variation and the CVg/CVe ratio, indicating a high prospect of success for the phenotypic selection. The higher positive genetic correlations and the significant (P <0.01) were observed between grain yield and the variables number of nodes (0.807**) and number of pods (0.781**), indicating that the selection of plants with higher number of nodes and pods could result in more productive plants. The Williams-based index presented the highest percentage of gain with the selection offor the grain yield (21.84%) variable.

Since the ‘Cerrado’ area of Piaui State, Brazil is a relatively new agricultural frontier, there is lack of information regarding the handling of potassium fertilization, since no information about the better fertilization techniques for this area was provided by the federal research corporations. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dose and time of application of K2O in corn grown in a ‘Cerrado’ area at the Paui state. The experiment was conducted in a yellow dystrophic oxisol with a completely randomized block design, with four repetitions in a (4x4)+1 factorial. The treatments consisted of combinations of four potassium levels: 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg ,K2O ha-1 + additional control (zero kg ha-1) applied in four seasons : 100% at sowing; 100% at 30 days after sowing (DAS); 50% at sowing and 50% 30 DAS; 50% 20 DAS and 50% at 40 DAS. Only the height, stem diameter and agronomic efficiency of the K use were influenced by the K+ time of application, especially with the application of 50% at sowing and 50% at 30 DAS. Except for the relative chlorophyll content and ear length, all other variables were influenced by K2O doses. The application of K2O resulted in greater increases of other evaluatedvariables, mainly for the yield obtained when the dose of (53 kg K2O ha-1 was used,.

The soil preparation for citrus seedlings planting can affect the longevity, yield, plant health and the quality of the mechanized operations, which must be performed to ensure the future crop management. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the quality indexes of soil tillage systems during citrus transplanting, through the performance of the operation and the study of times and movements of the mechanized sets. The experiment was conducted in the municipality of Matão - São Paulo, Brazil, in a completely randomized design, with two systems for mechanized soil preparation (conventional and conjugate) to transplant the citrus, with 66 replicates for each treatment. Were evaluated as indicators of quality the wheels slip of the tractor, speed of the mechanized sets, the accuracy of the GPS receiver and a study of time and motion operations, to perform the calculation of the efficiency of the tillage operations of tillage was carried out. All quality indexes for the mechanized sets were unstable, which negatively affects the operations quality. The conjugated tilled system and the liming presented the lowest and the highest speed of the tractor-equipment when compared to others, respectively.

The fruit physical and chemical characteristics can vary during the maturation period and this variation depends, among other factors, on the weather conditions during fruit development. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in physical and chemical characteristics of eight peach cultivars during two seasons. The cultivars Campinas 1, Coral, Maciel, Marli, Premier, Regis, Rei da Conserva and Tropic Beauty were planted on Okinawa rootstock at the experimental orchard of the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), Viçosa-MG, Brazil, in 2008 and the following characteristics were evaluated: fruit weight, skin color, firmness, soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and total carotenoids. The experiment was conducted during 2011 and 2012 growing seasons in a completely randomized design with eight treatments (cultivars), three repetitions and 10 fruits per plot. There were differences between the variables for the two seasons, with the largest variations observed for firmness, ascorbic acid and total carotenoids. Cultivars Maciel and Marli produced fruit with higher mass, Tropic Beauty with greater firmness and Rei da Conserva, Coral and Marli with higher soluble solids contents. The cultivar Rei da Conserva presented higher values for most of the evaluated variables in both seasons. The yellow color, evaluated by the hue angle, is associated with total carotenoids content in peaches.
Policing the Poor in Detroit

On the afternoon of November 15, 2013, 150 police officers raided the Colony Arms, a low-income housing complex on Detroit's East Side. One resident described the scene: "I saw…cop cars with the sirens…some kind of tank blocking the back alley, at least two helicopters doing I don't know what…. The officers had real, real long rifles. It was like the army or something…like an invasion…." In all, thirty arrests were made, twenty-one related to parking violations. These arrests yielded a total of zero convictions. The raid occurred on a Friday; all those arrested were released from jail by Monday. The raid was declared a resounding success by the Detroit Police Department (DPD) and all of the city's major media outlets. The raid on the Colony Arms inaugurated Operation Restore Order, a series of seventeen paramilitary police operations carried out between 2013 and 2015. Over the course of the operation, police made over a thousand arrests; as in the Colony Arms raid, however, these yielded little in the way of prosecutions.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.
