Cross-Linguistic Intertranslatability of Culturally Loaded Terms
Authors: Suparto Suparto
Published: December 2016

The paper tests if the translation of Javanese local cultural terms can denotatively be conveyed in English. The tool employed for this purpose is componential analysis of meaning, which can objectively asses the accuracy of the translation. In addition to this analysis, this study also discusses connotative assigned to the cultural terms by native speakers of Javanese and English. Connotative meanings were determined by collecting data from native speakers via questionnaires. The responses indicate which connotative meanings the respondents assigned to local cultural terms and their English equivalents. The findings indicate that at the denotative level, local cultural terms are very problematic. It is driven by the fact that though translators have tried to find the closest equivalents in the target language, there are still semantic features that differentiate both the source text and the target text. It demonstrates that full intertranslatability of cultural terms is not possible at denotative level. This study classifies the results of the translation into five classifications: (1) both the denotation and the connotation are different; (2) different denotations but the same connotations; (3) both of denotations and connotations are identical or near identical; (4) generic target text; and (5) specific target text. The findings show that respondents can attribute connotations to cultural terms only if they have been exposed to them and are familiar with the concepts that they convey. The connotations can semantically be classified into good or bad; active or passive; and strong or weak. It is also shown that people of the same cultural background do not always have the same connotations. Their prior knowledge plays and important role in determining what kind of connotations they yield. It is clear that connotations consist of posteriori knowledge.

 

Key words: denotation, connotation, cultural terms, intertanslatability.
Empirical Fragility Curves of Buildings in Northern Miyagi Prefecture During the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake

Published: December 2016

In this study, empirical fragility curves expressed in terms of relationship between damage ratio indices of buildings and ground motion indices were developed in northern Miyagi prefecture located in near-field areas during the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake. The ground motion indices were evaluated from observed ground motions at strong-motion stations and estimated at sites at which no strong-motion accelerometers were deployed during the mainshock. The ground motions at the non-instrumental sites were estimated using the empirical Green’s function method based on bedrock motions inverted from observed records on surfaces from small events that occurred inside the source fault, transfer functions due to underground velocity structures identified from microtremor H/V spectral ratios, and a short-period source model of the mainshock. The findings indicated that the empirical fragility curves as functions of Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) instrumental seismic intensity during the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake almost corresponded to those during the 1995 Kobe Earthquake and the seven disastrous earthquakes that occurred between 2003 and 2008. However, the empirical fragility curves as functions of peak ground velocity were the lowest. A possible reason for this is that the response spectra of the ground motions in the period ranging from 1.0 s to 1.5 s were small during the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake. Another reason could be the seismic resistant capacities of buildings in the studied districts involved during the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake exceeded those in the cities affected during the 1995 Kobe Earthquake.
Video Analysis of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries
Authors: Carlson Victor R. , Sheehan Frances T. , Boden Barry P.
Published: December 2016

Background:

As the most viable method for investigating in vivo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, video analysis is critical for understanding ACL injury mechanisms and advancing preventative training programs. Despite the limited number of published studies involving video analysis, much has been gained through evaluating actual injury scenarios.

Methods:

Studies meeting criteria for this systematic review were collected by performing a broad search of the ACL literature with use of variations and combinations of video recordings and ACL injuries. Both descriptive and analytical studies were included.

Results:

Descriptive studies have identified specific conditions that increase the likelihood of an ACL injury. These conditions include close proximity to opposing players or other perturbations, high shoe-surface friction, and landing on the heel or the flat portion of the foot. Analytical studies have identified high-risk joint angles on landing, such as a combination of decreased ankle plantar flexion, decreased knee flexion, and increased hip flexion.

Conclusions:

The high-risk landing position appears to influence the likelihood of ACL injury to a much greater extent than inherent risk factors. As such, on the basis of the results of video analysis, preventative training should be applied broadly. Kinematic data from video analysis have provided insights into the dominant forces that are responsible for the injury (i.e., axial compression with potential contributions from quadriceps contraction and valgus loading). With the advances in video technology currently underway, video analysis will likely lead to enhanced understanding of non-contact ACL injury.
A Comprehensive Model for Simulation of Gas Transport in Shale Formation With Complex Hydraulic-Fracture Geometry
Authors: Yu Wei , Wu Kan , Sepehrnoori Kamy , Xu Wenyue
Published: December 2016

A comprehensive model for simulating gas transport in shale formation with complex fracture geometry is still lacking in the petroleum industry. First, the current models are challenging to efficiently handle the complex nonplanar fractures with varying fracture width and fracture permeability along fracture length caused by very-complicated gridding issues, a high computational cost, and complexities in development of computational codes. Second, the conventional gas-diffusivity equation needs to be revised to include all important gas-transport mechanisms such as gas slippage, gas diffusion, and gas desorption. Hence, the goal of this study was to develop a new model to fill this gap.

We present an efficient semianalytical model by dividing fractures into several fracture segments to represent the complex nonplanar-fracture geometry and present a revised diffusivity equation to consider all the important gas-transport mechanisms for shale-gas reservoirs. We verified this model against a numerical reservoir simulator and an analytical solution for a single planar fracture. Transient-flow behavior between planar fractures and nonplanar fractures with and without considering the natural fractures was compared. Furthermore, a well with actual production data from the Marcellus Shale was analyzed. First, we use a complex hydraulic-fracture-propagation model to generate nonplanar-fracture geometry. Then, we apply the fracture geometry in the semianalytical model to evaluate well performance. Contributions of each mechanism to gas recovery are examined. By use of history matching and production forecasting, the difference of cumulative gas production between the nonplanar fractures and the converted planar fractures with equal fracture length is approximately 12% at 30 years of production. In addition, the contribution of gas diffusion, gas slippage, and gas desorption to gas recovery at 30 years of production compared with that without considering them is approximately 11, 16, and 25%, respectively. In total, the contribution of these three important mechanisms is approximately 56%. Hence, modeling of gas production from the nonplanar fractures and modeling the important gas-transport mechanisms in shale-gas reservoirs are significant.
Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Yield Response of High Biomass Sorghum in the Lower Midwest

Published: December 2016

Core Ideas

Two‐year study evaluating high biomass sorghum yield response to a broad range of N treatments.

A minimal N fertilizer rate of 56 kg ha−1 is needed to increase average ethanol yield to 5519 L ha−1, with no additional yield benefit at greater N rates.

Yields were limited by varying environmental conditions and delayed planting.

Nitrogen recovery efficiency were greatest at low N rates, but N use efficiency more stable across N rates, but greatly impacted by environment.

High biomass sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] could potentially produce high yields in the midwestern United States with minimal fertilizer inputs. However, little is known about the yield response, N uptake, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and nitrogen recovery efficiency (NRE) of high biomass sorghum (HBS) at varying N fertilization rates when grown for lignocellulosic ethanol. The objectives of this 2‐yr study were to determine the effect of five N rates (0, 56, 112, 168, 224 kg N ha−1) on the dry matter (DM) yield and lignocellulosic ethanol yield (LEY), and the NRE and NUE of two HBS varieties in the midwestern United States. The two varieties responded similarly for most measured parameters. Total DM yield averaged 13.1 Mg ha−1 and estimated LEY averaged 5519 L ha−1 across N rates when grown in central Missouri. Nitrogen rates between 56 and 224 kg N ha−1 resulted in similar DM yield and LEY in 2010, and there were no yield differences among N rates ranging from 0 to 224 kg N ha−1 in 2011. The greatest N removal in DM was at or above 56 kg N ha−1. Nitrogen recovery efficiency and NUE differed by year, where low rainfall and a shortened growing season in the second year resulted in reduced NRE and NUE. Lack of NUE and DM yield differences at N rates above 56 kg N ha−1 indicates the potential for producing high biomass sorghum with minimal amounts of fertilizer N in the Midwest.

Published: December 2016

Core Ideas

Less than 3 yr post‐establishment, tall fescue accumulated more soil C (i.e., labile soil C, total soil C, and soil organic matter) than Kentucky bluegrass.

Returning grass clippings for 2 yr increased both soil C (i.e., labile soil C and total soil C) and N (i.e., total soil N) compared to collecting clippings over the same period.

Labile soil C increased linearly over the 5 yr of the experiment.

Little information is available about how grass species and management practices, such as grass clippings management, influence soil C and N accumulation, especially labile soil C. Thus, the objective of this field experiment was to determine the labile soil C, total soil C, soil organic matter (SOM), and total soil N accumulation of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort. syn. Festuca arundinacea Schreb. syn. Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh.] cultivars with differing growth rates under different grass clippings management practices. Differences in labile and total soil C occurred between turfgrass species after less than 3 yr of growth post planting: labile soil C was 9.9% higher (851 vs. 774 mg C kg−1 soil), total soil C was 4.2% higher (24.8 vs. 23.8 g C kg−1 soil), and SOM was 8.0% higher (41.7 vs. 38.6 g SOM kg−1 soil) for tall fescue than Kentucky bluegrass. After 2 yr of clippings management treatments, plots where grass clippings were returned had 3.3% more labile soil C (826 vs. 800 mg C kg−1 soil), 3.3% more total soil C (24.7 vs. 23.9 g C kg−1 soil), and 4.6% more total soil N (2.28 vs. 2.18 g N kg−1 soil) than those where clippings were collected. However, grass clippings management did not affect SOM. The results of this study highlight the importance of turfgrass selection and grass clippings management on soil C and N accumulation.
Modified APEX model for Simulating Macropore Phosphorus Contributions to Tile Drains
Authors: Ford William I. , King Kevin W. , Williams Mark R. , Confesor Remegio B.
Published: December 2016

The contribution of macropore flow to phosphorus (P) loadings in tile‐drained agricultural landscapes remains poorly understood at the field scale, despite the recognized deleterious impacts of contaminant transport via macropore pathways. A new subroutine that couples existing matrix‐excess and matrix‐desiccation macropore flow theory and a modified P routine is implemented in the Agricultural Policy Environmental eXtender (APEX) model. The original and modified formulation were applied and evaluated for a case study in a poorly drained field in Western Ohio with 31 months of surface and subsurface monitoring data. Results highlighted that a macropore subroutine in APEX improved edge‐of‐field discharge calibration and validation for both tile and total discharge from satisfactory and good, respectively, to very good and improved dissolved reactive P load calibration and validation statistics for tile P loads from unsatisfactory to very good. Output from the calibrated macropore simulations suggested median annual matrix‐desiccation macropore flow contributions of 48% and P load contributions of 43%, with the majority of loading occurring in winter and spring. While somewhat counterintuitive, the prominence of matrix‐desiccation macropore flow during seasons with less cracking reflects the importance of coupled development of macropore pathways and adequate supply of the macropore flow source. The innovative features of the model allow for assessments of annual macropore P contributions to tile drainage and has the potential to inform P site assessment tools.

Core Ideas

The field‐scale APEX model is modified to account for macropore P contributions.

APEX modifications significantly improve hydrology and P simulations for a case study.

Macropore flow contributes approximately 48% of flow and 43% of P annually.

The model has potential for informing pathway partitioning in P site assessment tools.
Can Organic Materials Reduce Excess Nutrient Leaching from Manure‐Rich Paddock Soils?
Authors: Parvage Mohammed Masud , Ulén Barbro , Kirchmann Holger
Published: December 2016

Horse paddocks have been identified as a significant contributor of animal waste nutrients to natural waters; thus, modified paddock management is needed. Because chemical amendments pose a health risk to horses, an alternative for reducing nutrient translocation from manure is to add available organic residues to the soil. To examine the feasibility of outdoor use of organic materials to reduce nutrient losses from paddock soils, three commonly available organic materials (peat, wheat straw, and wood chips) were tested for their nutrient retention capacities in batch experiments followed by leaching experiments in an in‐house lysimeter station using artificial rainfall. Results showed that the grounded peat and wood chips retained some phosphorus (P), whereas grounded wheat straw released P to the solution. In leaching experiments, peat reduced nitrogen (N) losses by 40% but increased P and carbon (C) losses severalfold. Wheat straw was ineffective in reducing P, N, or C losses and in some cases increased the losses. Wood chips effectively reduced P and C losses, by 70 and 40%, respectively, but not N losses. It was concluded that, among the three organic materials, only the wood chips can be used outdoors to reduce nutrient losses from paddock soils.

Core Ideas

Paddock soils are “hot spots” for nutrient losses that need to be managed.

The capacity of organic materials to reduce nutrient loss from soil is not widely known.

Peat reduced N losses, and wood chips reduced both P and C losses.

Wheat straw increased nutrient leaching losses.
Integrating Soil Biological and Chemical Indices to Predict Net Nitrogen Mineralization across California Agricultural Systems
Authors: Wade Jordon , Horwath William R. , Burger Martin B.
Published: December 2016

Core Ideas

Agricultural soils with and without a winter cover crop were surveyed.

Stronger relationships occurred between soil tests and N mineralization in cover‐cropped fields.

Integrated models only improved the variance explained for cover‐cropped fields.

Within management systems, preferred predictors varied by climate, independent of soil C.

Predicting the capacity of soil to supply crop N (i.e., inorganic N) has proved difficult due to the myriad of interacting soil biophysical factors. We examined soil chemical and biological indices commonly found in commercial soil testing laboratories—total soil C and N, water‐extractable organic C and N, K2SO4–extractable C and N, mineralizable C on rewetting, and permanganate‐oxidizable C—to estimate net N mineralization across a variety of soils from cover‐cropped and non‐cover‐cropped fields in California (47 sites, n = 157). Results show that both biological and chemical indices are variable in their ability to predict N mineralization, with better relationships being shown for cover‐cropped fields. Total C and N contents were the best chemical indicators for both management systems, describing up to 21.8% of the variance. The flush of CO2 measured after capillary rewetting was more variable and had weaker relationships with net N mineralization than respiration measured at 50% water holding capacity. These relationships were only significant in fields that had recently had cover crops and were moderately strong (r = 0.45–0.55), with the strength of the relationship decreasing as the measured interval of the CO2 flush increased. Models were developed for each management system using variables consistently chosen by a partial least squares regression as drivers of N mineralization. These models improved the explained variance in cover‐cropped fields but not in the non‐cover‐cropped fields. The effectiveness of individual predictor variables in these models was inconsistent across climates, illustrating the need for regional and management‐specific tests for predicting N mineralization.
Selective Fenton-like oxidation of methylene blue on modified Fe-zeolites prepared via molecular imprinting technique
Authors: Zhang Yuanyuan , Shang Jiaobo , Song Yanqun , Rong Chuan , Wang Yinghui , Huang Wenyu , Yu Kefu
Published: December 2016

A facile strategy to increase the selectivity of heterogeneous Fenton oxidation is investigated. The increase was reached by increasing selective adsorption of heterogeneous Fenton catalyst to a target pollutant. The heterogeneous Fenton catalyst was prepared by a two-step process. First, zeolite particles were imprinted by the target pollutant, methylene blue (MB), in their aggregations, and second, iron ions were loaded on the zeolite aggregations to form the molecule imprinted Fe-zeolites (MI-FZ) Fenton catalyst. Its adsorption amount for MB reached as high as 44.6 mg g−1 while the adsorption amount of un-imprinted Fe-zeolites (FZ) is only 15.6 mg g−1. Fenton removal efficiency of MI-FZ for MB was 87.7%, being 33.9% higher than that of FZ. The selective Fenton oxidation of MI-FZ for MB was further confirmed by its removal performance for the mixed MB and bisphenol A (BPA) in solution. The removal efficiency of MB was 44.7% while that of BPA was only 14.9%. This fact shows that molecular imprinting is suitable to prepare the Fe-zeolites (FZ)-based Fenton catalyst with high selectivity for removal of target pollutants, at least MB.

Published: December 2016

It is known about the high incidence of the urinary bladder lesions in the structure of urological pathology regardless of age; however, according to the analysis of world literature sources, data on postnatal ontogenetic transformations of its wall constituents are poorly studied. Therefore, the purpose of our work was to study the morphofunctional peculiarities of the urinary bladder during sexual formation and puberty in parallel with research of pro- and antioxidant systems, as these processes are interrelated and interdependent.In compliance with bioethical principles, in the experiment on 20 immature and 20 mature white outbred male rats using a complex research methods (injection, histological, immune-histochemical, electronic-microscopic and biochemical) the structural changes in the wall of the urinary bladder and pro- and antioxidant systems in stages of postnatal ontogenesis were studied.Vascular transformations in investigated age periods occur in parallel with the transformations of cellular and non-cellular elements of the urinary bladder wall, ensuring adequacy of tissue homeostasis in ontogenesis. All this is associated with the processes of peroxidation and antioxidant systems operation, indicating their interrelationship and interdependence and strict control of the whole hierarchical system of regulation.Taking into account the peculiarities of the structural elements of the urinary bladder wall at these stages of postnatal ontogenesis, clarification of the dynamics in other age groups and under the influence of various factors is promising.

The aim of this review is discuss about the importance of the diagnostic examination for uterine affections as endometritis and endometrosis in order to improve the results in equine breeding programs. Endometritis is a pathology that leads to a great loss in horses creation. This uterine disease affect mares in all different ages and in all reproductive category. There are mares more susceptible as well as situations that provides increase the occurrence of this pathology. The horse industry is increasing constantly and there are necessity of researches about the best solutions of some reproductive problems in order to increase the reproductive efficiency of mares submitted to reproductive technologies as artificial insemination and embryo transfer. The diagnoses of endometritis through exams as uterine cytology, microbiology examination of intrauterine samples and mainly histopathology examination by uterine biopsy clarify some doubts about embryo donor and recipients problems as low embryo recovery rates and high embryo loss rates. This diagnosis methods aid the recipient mare choice, considering this mares very important in the embryo transfer results. Some treatments are also discuss as well as new perspectives. The three diagnosis discussed in this review are efficient, but different among them, though used in conjunction increase the accuracy of the results. Therefore, the utilization of this diagnosis is necessary in the reproduction assessment examination of mares donors and recipient of embryos in order to increase the equine reproductive efficiency.

Conclusión: los niños con TEA son susceptibles de presentar alteraciones significativas en tareas relacionadas con las funciones ejecutivas, lo que puede explicar la tendencia a la perseveración, incapacidad de cambio de criterio y conductas estereotipadas. Esta disfunción se correlaciona con la severidad del autismo y varía según la edad. Aunque esta alteración no es un fenómeno que se presente exclusivamente en el TEA, constituye un elemento a tener en cuenta al momento de evaluar estos niños.
Corporate governance, ownership, company structure and environmental disclosure: Evidence from Saudi Arabia
Authors: Habbash Murya
Published: December 2016

This study examines the Environmental Disclosure (ED) practices in Saudi Arabia and the potential relationship with Corporate Governance (CG) , ownership and company structure, following the application of the Saudi 2006 CG code in 2007. The study deepens the understanding of ED and its main determinants in one of the largest economies in the Middle East. A self-constructed ED checklist, based on ISO 26000, is used. We employ regression and content analyses to examine a sample of 267 annual reports covering the period 2007-2011. The analysis finds that the average ED has improved following the application of the Saudi 2006 CG code to 30%, more than double the 14.61% found by Al-Janadi et al. (2013) during 2006-2007. The analysis also finds that audit committee effectiveness, role duality, state and institutional ownerships, firm profitability, and industry sensitivity positively affect ED. However, board independence, family ownership, and firm size are found not to be significant determinants, while a negative significant correlation was found with firm leverage. The results imply that CG regulators and stakeholders should acknowledge the importance of active audit committees comprising relevant experts and independent directors, in addition to the role of state and institutional ownership in enhancing ED. The study covers a five-year period, contrary to the majority of ED studies which focus on only one year. The study helps to fill the gap in ED literature in developing countries. Finally, the study provides a recent evaluation for the Saudi CG code recently applied in 2007.
Assessing organisational governance maturity: A retail industry case study
Authors: Wessels Hendrik Marius , Wilkinson Naomi
Published: December 2016

For any business to operate effectively, a governance framework that operates at the relevant maturity level is required. An organisational governance maturity framework is a tool that leadership can use to determine governance maturity. This study aims to determine whether the organisational governance maturity framework (developed by Wilkinson) can be applied to the selected retail industry organisation to assess the maturity of the organisation’s governance, limited to the ‘leadership’ attribute. Firstly, a high-level literature review on ethical leadership, ethical decision-making, ethical foundation and culture (‘tone at the top’), and organisational governance and maturity was conducted. Secondly, a Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed South African-based company was selected for the empirical part of the study using a single case study research design. The empirical results confirmed that the organisational governance maturity framework can be used to determine the maturity level of organisational governance for the selected attribute of ‘leadership’.
Audit tenure and financial reporting in Oman: Does rotation affect the quality?
Authors: Baatwah Saeed Rabea
Published: December 2016

The purpose of this study is to provide an empirical result concerning the quality of audit under a rotation policy in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Currently, countries from GCC tend to require the audit firms of public companies to be rotated within four or five consecutive years. This policy received worldwide criticisms which asserted it deteriorates the quality of financial reports – instead of increasing their quality. To achieve this purpose, we use 573 observations from companies listed in the Omani capital market implementing audit firm rotation because Oman is the leading country in GCC. Using discretionary accruals and modified audit opinion to proxy financial reporting quality, we find that audit firm tenure is not significantly associated with low quality financial reports. We also found that audit partner tenure is not positively and significantly associated with high discretionary accruals while it is positively and significantly associated with modified audit opinion. We classify our audit tenure into short and long tenure and find similar findings. Additionally and contrary to previous findings in Oman, we report that audit committee characteristics such as independence, size, financial expertise and number of meetings are not associated with high quality financial reports. Thus, our study contains several contributions to audit tenure debates in general and corporate governance practices in GCC in particular.
Governance of the R&D productivity at the research institution based on socio-demographic indicators
Authors: Cele Philisiwe Charity , Lekhnaya Lawrence Mpele
Published: December 2016

It has been noted that DUT has seen a steady increase in its research outputs publication for the period 2010 until now. However, responsible for this increase is the contribution of a few researchers since not all academic staff is involved in research. The study aimed to examine the extent to which socio demographic factors impact academics from publishing accredited outputs. It also seeks to highlight the important role of research management as a highly professional and dynamic activity that must constantly adapt to the changing environment within which universities operate. The findings of the research revealed that males with masters and doctoral degrees are the most involved in research activities. The paper will benefit the institution by enhancing institutional research management systems and practices, ensuring relevant policies are in place. Enable research management to deploy the institution’s research resources optimally so as to curb over reliance on the limited institutional research budget.
Comparative study of holt-winters triples exponential smoothing and seasonal Arima: Forecasting short term seasonal car sales in South Africa
Authors: Makatjane Katleho Daniel , Moroke Ntebogang Dinah
Published: December 2016

In this paper, both Seasonal ARIMA and Holt-Winters models are developed to predict the monthly car sales in South Africa using data for the period of January 1994 to December 2013. The purpose of this study is to choose an optimal model suited for the sector. The three error metrics; mean absolute error, mean absolute percentage error and root mean square error were used in making such a choice. Upon realizing that the three forecast errors could not provide concrete basis to make conclusion, the power test was calculated for each model proving Holt-Winters to having about 0.3% more predictive power. Empirical results also indicate that Holt-Winters model produced more precise short-term seasonal forecasts. The findings also revealed a structural break in April 2009, implying that the car industry was significantly affected by the 2008 and 2009 US financial crisis.
Improved Glucose Homeostasis in Obese Mice Treated With Resveratrol Is Associated With Alterations in the Gut Microbiome

Oral administration of resveratrol is able to improve glucose homeostasis in obese individuals. Herein we show that resveratrol ingestion produces taxonomic and predicted functional changes in the gut microbiome of obese mice. In particular, changes in the gut microbiome were characterized by a decreased relative abundance of Turicibacteraceae, Moryella, Lachnospiraceae, and Akkermansia and an increased relative abundance of Bacteroides and Parabacteroides. Moreover, fecal transplantation from healthy resveratrol-fed donor mice is sufficient to improve glucose homeostasis in obese mice, suggesting that the resveratrol-mediated changes in the gut microbiome may play an important role in the mechanism of action of resveratrol.

Published: December 2016

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether inpatient sleep duration and efficiency are associated with a greater risk of hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients with and without diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In this retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study, medical inpatients ≥50 years of age were interviewed, and their charts were reviewed to obtain demographic data and diagnosis. Using World Health Organization criteria, patients were categorized as having normal blood glucose, impaired fasting blood glucose, or hyperglycemia based on morning glucose from the electronic health record. Wrist actigraphy measured sleep. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression models, controlling for subject random effects, tested the association between inpatient sleep duration and proportional odds of hyperglycemia versus impaired fasting blood glucose or impaired fasting blood glucose versus normal blood glucose in hospitalized adults.

RESULTS

A total of 212 patients (60% female and 74% African American) were enrolled. Roughly one-third (73, 34%) had diabetes. Objective inpatient sleep measures did not differ between patients with or without diabetes. In ordinal logistic regression models, each additional hour of in-hospital sleep was associated with an 11% (odds ratio 0.89 [95% CI 0.80, 0.99]; P = 0.043) lower proportional odds of a higher glucose category the next morning (hyperglycemia vs. elevated and elevated vs. normal). Every 10% increase in sleep efficiency was associated with an 18% lower proportional odds of a higher glucose category (odds ratio 0.82 [95% CI 0.74, 0.89]; P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Among medical inpatients, both shorter sleep duration and worse sleep efficiency were independently associated with greater proportional odds of hyperglycemia and impaired fasting glucose.
A Partial Tear of the Infraspinatus Muscle
Authors: Murphy Myles , Charlesworth Jonathon
Published: December 2016

A 29-year-old man experienced right shoulder pain and weakness following a forced abduction and external rotation motion performed during an Australian football game. The following morning, the sports medicine physician referred the player for magnetic resonance imaging to exclude infraspinatus rupture, given the external rotation strength deficit. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a low-grade partial tear of the medial infraspinatus muscle.
