Authors: Umilasari Reni , Saifudin Ilham , Lestari Isnawati Lujeng
Published: March 2023

One of the topics in graph theory that is interesting and developed continuously is metric dimension.  It has some new variation concepts, such as star metric dimension. The order set of Z={z1,z2,…,zn }⊆V(G) called star resolving set of connected graph  G if Z is Star Graph and for every vertex in G has different representation to the set Z. The representation is expressed as the distance d(u,z), it is the shortest path from vertex u to z for every u,z∈V(G). Star basis of a graph is the smallest cardinality of star resolving set. The number of vertex in star basis is called star metric dimension of G which denoted by Sdim(G). The purpose of this article is to determine the characteristic of star metric dimension and the value of star metric dimension of some classes of graphs. The method which is used in this study is library research. Some of the results of this research are complete graph has  Sdim(Kn )=n-1, for n≥3, bipartite graph K(2,n)  has  Sdim (K(2,n) )=n, for n≥3. Besides complete bipartite graph hasn’t star metric dimension or  for m,n≥3 or it can said that  Sdim (K(m,n) )=0. Another graph, that is Fan graph has Sdim (Fn )=2 for 2≤n≤5 and for n≥6 Sdim (Fn )=(2n+3)/5.

Published: March 2023

Several countries continue controlling the spread of the corona virus to decrease the number of new COVID-19 cases. Currently some Southeast Asian countries require an estimate of the num-ber of daily new COVID-19 cases of in the future in order to reopen or consider lifting strict pre-vention policies. This study applies ARIMA and SARIMA forecasting models to predict the de-cline in the number of new cases in three Southeast Asian countries. The first modelling is carried out using the ARIMA model with optimized model parameters based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) analysis. Then, the Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) are evaluated is applied a criterion to select the best model. The best ARIMA and SARIMA models are selected manually and they are used to predict the number of new cases in three Southeast Asian coun-tries. It is expected that the number of new cases in these countries will experience a significant decline in the next month from September 2021. The prediction of SARIMA model indicates a better result than the ARIMA model which confirms the existence of a season in COVID-19 data.

Published: March 2023

The understanding mathematics ability is important for high school students. However, the reality that happened at SMAN 6 Banda Aceh, students' mathematical understanding still has not reached completeness so that it affects the final score of mathematics subjects. The cause of the problem is due to teacher-centered learning which makes learning meaningless. Therefore, a meaningful learning model is needed so that it can improve students' mathematical understanding ability. One of the meaningful learning models is the Problem Based Learning model. Based on this background, this research aims to:to find out the increase in students' mathematical understanding skills with the Problem Based Learning modelat SMAN 6Banda Aceh. This research is a quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control group design. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely class XI IPA-2 as the experimental class consisting of 30 students with the PBL model and class XI IPA-1 as the control class consisting of 29 students with the conventional model. The data collection technique is done by test. The research instrument used is a test of mathematical understanding ability. The data analysis technique used independent sample t-test. The results showed that the value of sig. count more than sig. alpha, so it can be concluded that the increase in students' mathematical understanding through the PBL model is better than the mathematical understanding of students who get conventional learning.

In Indonesia, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) decreased from April to May 2022 and in-creased slowly from May to June 2022. Statistical predictions are needed to monitor the increase in cases of this pandemic spike, as happened at the end of February 2022. This study aims to predict the rise in the number of active COVID-19 cases by applying the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) mathematical model. and multiple linear regression (MLR). Daily observation data of active cases, new cases, recovered cases, and deaths were recorded from January to June 2022 totalling 152 observations. Then ARIMA modelling for active cases and MLR modelling for daily active case observation data that depended on new cases were carried out , recovered, and died. Furthermore, the prediction results from the two models were determined the root mean squared error (RMSE), the mean absolute error (MAE), and the mean absolute percent error (MAPE). From the calculation results, the ARIMA model is smaller than the MLR. However, the prediction of the next thirty days in the MLR model is close to the actual value, while in the ARI-MA model it is below the actual value.

Today, everyone places a high importance on their education. Learning is how education is implemented, and learning allows people to reach their full potential. Since learning is a process and learning achievement is the end consequence of the learning process, learning and learning achievement are inextricably linked. Learning achievement levels are assessed using GPA (Grade Point Average). Allowance, gender, major, status of residence, school location, study time, admission type, duration of gadget use, and personality type are all factors that affect GPA. In order to identify the components that influence academic accomplishment, a model must be developed since it can be understood, explained, controlled, and forecasted. This study's goal is to identify the binary logistic regression model, which describes the variables influencing the faculty of mathematics and natural sciences at Universitas Negeri Padang's GPA. The aim of this study is to identify the logistic regression model that represents the variables that affect the GPA of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Universitas Negeri Padang. Secondary and primary data were employed in this study, and questionnaires were used to collect the data. The 2020 students made up the study's sample, which included 293 respondents.

Virgil’s Hero, Turnus: Maffeo Vegio’s and Pier Candido Decembrio’s Supplements to the Aeneid (with a New Edition and Translation of Decembrio)
Authors: Gervais Kyle
Published: March 2023

I examine a dialogue between the Renaissance Supplements to Virgil’s Aeneid by Pier Candido Decembrio and Maffeo Vegio. I argue that Decembrio’s short poem is not unfinished but instead provides the Iliadic ending to the Aeneid that Virgil withholds, namely a lament over Turnus’s body to match the lament over Hector at the end of Iliad 24. I then argue that Decembrio’s poem presents us with a dangerously unstable situation in Italy, dominated by commemorations of Turnus in such heroic terms that they threaten to displace Virgil’s hero Aeneas from primacy in his own story. Vegio’s response “corrects” this portrayal of Turnus in favour of a more orthodox Virgilian narrative in which Turnus is a tragically misguided enemy of Aeneas’s divine mission to Italy. I conclude with a new edition and translation of Decembrio’s Supplement, drawing on both of the extant manuscripts and addressing several textual difficulties.
Beyond the Literary Sources of Augurello’s Chrysopoeia
Authors: Soranzo Matteo
Published: March 2023

In his Neo-Latin poem Chrysopoeia (1515), the Italian humanist Giovanni Aurelio Augurello often declares to be outdoing the ancients in writing the first alchemical poem in Latin. Is this simply an instance of what E. R. Curtius called outdoing a topos? Or is Augurello’s poem actually venturing onto a metaphorically untrodden path? Based on an analysis of Chrysopoeia, its genesis, and its sources, this article aims to assess the extent of this poem’s novelty. In particular, my interpretation focuses on this text’s poetic transpositions of non-literary sources, and more specifically Geber’s Summa perfectionis and other medieval alchemical texts.
Coryciana: The Spaces of the Collection
Authors: Roman Luke
Published: March 2023

This article explores the relation between poetry, place, and the concept of epigram as site-specific writing in the Coryciana. Published in 1524 in an edition assembled by Blosius Palladius, this multi-author, predominantly epigrammatic collection in honour of the humanist and apostolic protonotary Johann Goritz focuses on two prime sites within the city of Renaissance Rome: Goritz’s column chapel in Sant’Agostino, and his vineyard-villa near Trajan’s Forum. The poets and editors of the Coryciana participate in a collaborative placemaking project, plotting Goritz’s new sites of piety and culture in relation to the places of Greco-Roman antiquity and the modern city. At the same time, they represent the collection itself as a textual space, imbued with the commemorative, encyclopedic, and canonizing capacities of sites and built structures in ancient and contemporary Rome.
Claude Boudan, moine célestin et poète des Guerres de religion en France
Authors: Nassichuk John
Published: March 2023

Claude Boudan, moine célestin d’un statut considérable, qui remplit plusieurs offices au sein de l’Ordre monastique, fut aussi un auteur de vers latins à la fois productif et talentueux. Parmi ses oeuvres nombreuses qui demeurent en manuscrit, le long poème en hexamètres dactyliques, intitulé De mutua hugonostici belli et catholicae pacis collatione carmen heroicum, constitue une prestation unique dans la mesure où elle donne la perspective, claire et directe, du poète monastique sur les événements récents et l’actualité des Guerres de religion en France. Écrit sur un ton énergique et même parfois polémique, ce poème raconte plusieurs incidents violents survenus entre le début des années 1560 et le massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy en 1572, d’un point de vue résolument partisan. Il ressemble en cela à une bonne part de la poésie polémique composée pendant cette période, par des auteurs aussi divers que Ronsard, d’Aubigné, Jean Dorat et Léger Duchesne.
Le poète et le roi : les Poemata de Benedetto Tagliacarne (ca. 1480–1536), dit Théocrène
Authors: Leroux Virginie
Published: March 2023

L’Italien Benedetto Tagliacarne, dit Théocrène, occupa la charge de précepteur des fils de François Ier, de 1527 à 1533. À ce titre, il évolua dans l’intimité de la famille royale, ce dont témoignent ses oeuvres poétiques, publiées à Poitiers, chez Marnef, en 1536, et notamment ses épigrammes qui orchestrent des événements de cour et mettent en scène un roi esthète et poète. Théocrène célèbre ainsi les noces du roi et d’Éléonore d’Autriche et rend hommage à Louise de Savoie ; il fait l’éloge des productions poétiques de François Ier, choisissant l’épitaphe de la muse de Pétrarque, Laure de Noves, mais aussi la traduction d’une épigramme attribuée à Germanicus ; enfin, il compose de nombreuses ekphraseis des oeuvres d’art du roi. L’étude de ces épigrammes permettra d’évaluer la contribution du poète italien à la politique culturelle de François Ier et à la mythologie du règne.

Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar como las características del perfil de director ejecutivo de los centros universitarios en Brasil se reflejan en el desempeño de su institución en el Índice General de Cursos (IGC). El estudio utilizo como lente teórica las premisas de la Teoría de la Agencia y del Gobierno Corporativo, que surgió con la finalidad de reducir el llamado problema de agencia (intereses distintos entre la junta ejecutiva / rectores y pro-rectores – y los consejos de administración /mantenedores). Estas teorías sustentan el modelo gerencial de la gestión universitaria, que se estructura en mecanismos de GC principalmente dirigidos a controlar, rendición de cuentas y eficiencia. La investigación se utilizó una encuesta cuantitativa y descriptiva, y los datos se recopilarán a través de la Investigación Documental. Datos de los rectores y pro-rectores de setenta y seis Centros Universitarios Privados con Ánimo de Lucro fueron relacionándolas con las características de las IES y su desempeño en el IGC. Los resultados muestran que: (1) el área de formación a nivel de pregrado o posgrado de los rectores y pro-rectores no tiene impacto en el desempeño de las IES en el IGC; (2) los equipos sin diversidad de género tienen un desempeño más positivo en el IGC continuo en comparación con los equipos mixtos, todavía este resultado no se repite en el análisis del IGC, donde no hubo diferencia significativa entre los grupos.

Published: March 2023

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya penerapan larangan nikah sesuku di Desa Tanjung Pauh. Masyarakat yang melakukan perkawinan diharuskan membayar denda adat berupa kambing atau kerbau. Jika tidak mampu, pelaku, kerabat dan keluarganya tidak dapat melakukan urusan adat lainnya bahkan sampai mereka diusir dari desa. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian lapangan atau field research. Dalam mengkaji data primer yang didapat dari wawancara penulis menggunakan pendekatan kualittatif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana adat perkawinan di Desa Tanjung Pauh perspektif hukum perkawinan di Indonesia. Pandangan Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang pelaksanaan larangan adat ini tertuang dalam pasal 8 huruf f tentang larangan nikah pasal 66 yang melalui tafsir a contrario yang menerapkan hukum perkawinan adat. Hukum pernikahan adat dapat diterapkan selain yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang Perkawinan Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 dan tidak bertentangan dengan hukum Islam. Berbeda dengan penerapan larangan nikah adat di Desa Tanjung Pauh yang ternyata telah tertuang dalam UU Perkawinan pasal 2 dan bertentangan dengan hukum Islam. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa undang-undang yang melarang perkawinan adat di Desa Tanjung Pauh bertentangan dengan Undang-Undang Perkawinan Nomor 1 Tahun 1974.

Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian kualitatif dan data penelitian diperoleh dengan metode wawancara dan data tambahan dari buku-buku serta artikel ilmiah terkait kafaah. Hasil penelitian ini memaparkan bahwa kafaah menurut KH. Husain Muhammad merupakan suatu kecocokan atau kesesuaian antara satu pasangan. Dan kesesuaian yang dimaksud oleh beliau secara idealnya ada emapt aspek, maka yang menjadi prioritas adalah ad-din.  Ad-din dalam konteks ini dimaknai sebagai ukuran keserasian dalam moralitas yang unuversal atau dalam artian akhlak, bukan sesuatu idealisme yang bersifat lahiriyyah.
Kafaâ€™ah Sebagai Barometer Pernikahan Menurut Madzhab Syafii
Authors: Ameliana Dina , Fakhria Sheila
Published: March 2023

Islam menetapkan kafaah sebagai salah satu barometer pernikahan yang ditentukan sebagai syarat lazim dalam pernikahan. Dalam artian, suatu pernikahan yang dilangsungkan oleh pasangan yang tidak memenuhi kriteria kafaah, maka pernikahan dihukumi sah. Problematika muncul ketika hak untuk mengajukan tuntutan pembatalan pernikahan dapat dilakukan oleh pihak wali apabila muncul ketidaksetujuan karena adanya pernikahan yang tidak kafaah. Penetapan ini oleh Imam Syafii diorientasikan demi terciptanya kemaslahatan bersama yaitu menghindari munculnya kecacatan sekaligus menghindari adanya perpecahan dalam keluarga. Penelitian ini merupakan library research, yang bertujuan untuk menguraikan tentang urgensi kafaah sebagai barometer pernikahan dalam pandangan Imam Syafii dan menjelaskan tentang bagaimana persetujuan wali serta calon mempelai perempuan terhadap kriteria kafaah sebagai keabsahan pernikahan di mata hukum. Dari pemaparan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa kafaah memang menjadi unsur penting sebelum dilakukanya sebuah pernikahan akan tetapi semua unsur kafaah tersebut tidak berlaku ketika calon suami dan calon istri saling ridha.

EFFECTS OF COMPETENCE, ETHICAL BEHAVIOR, AND WORK MOTIVATION ON PREVENTION OF FINANCIAL REPORTING FRAUD: WHISTLEBLOWING SYSTEM AS A MODERATOR
Authors: Mutmainah Ina
Published: March 2023

The present study aims to examine the effect of human resource competence, ethical behavior, and work motivation on the prevention of financial reporting fraud moderated by whistleblowing systems. Primary data were garnered from banks in Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia. This study employed a moderation regression analysis with an interaction testing. Study findings reveal that human resource competence and work motivation give a significant effect on the prevention of financial reporting fraud, while ethical behavior had no significant effect on the prevention of financial reporting fraud. In addition, whistleblowing systems strengthened both the negative effect of human resource competence on the prevention of financial reporting fraud and the positive effect of ethical behavior on the prevention of financial reporting fraud. Nonetheless, the whistleblowing system did not moderate work motivation toward the prevention of financial reporting fraud. The control variable, i.e., reward and punishment, showed a significant impact on the prevention of financial reporting fraud. The study concludes with some empirical evidence for how banking management fosters the whistleblowing system to prevent financial reporting fraud.

The problem in this study is that there are still violations of accountant ethics committed by accountants when carrying out their duties as an accountant. As a profession that carries out its functions, accountants must comply with professional ethics and carry out their duties in a certain way in accordance with professional ethics or established standards. Behavior that violates professional ethics is not only for public accountants, but also for government accountants and management accountants. If the accountant has the integrity to apply ethical and ethical values in the professional behavior of his work, then there should be no unethical behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of religiosity and love of money on accountants' ethical crisis. The sample used was determined by the purposive sampling method with certain criteria. Data analysis in this study used multiple linear regression and data collection techniques in this study in the form of a questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using the f test, t test, normality test, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that religiosity and love of money simultaneously affected the ethical crisis of accountants. Partially, the religiosity variable has no effect on the accountant's ethical crisis, and love of money also has no effect on the accountant's ethical crisis.Keywords: Accountant Ethics Crisis, Love of Money, Religiosity
Modeling the ocular surface with organoid technology
Authors:   , Bannier Hélaouët Marie
Published: March 2023

The eye surface consists of 4 distinct tissues: the cornea, the conjunctiva, the lacrimal gland and the meibomian gland. The role of the three latter is to produce tears in order to protect the transparent cornea. Tears harbor antimicrobial and lubricative properties that are essential to keep the eye surface healthy. When not enough tears are produced, this results in dry eye - which is a disease 1 in 3 adults experiences.

To understand how the lacrimal gland and the conjunctiva produce tears, we obtained biopsies from these organs and identified conditions under which the cells were able to expand in a dish. This process gave rise to so-called lacrimal gland and conjunctiva organoids, respectively. We found that these organoids produced both the aqueous and the mucous layers of the tear film, including a large and diverse repertoire of anti-microbial peptides. We could study genetic and infectious diseases in these, as well as transplant them in order to rescue either lacrimal gland or conjunctiva deficiencies. These newly-developed technologies help to understand the underlying principles of (the lack of) tear production, which could be tackled in a drug discovery approach. Organoids can also be used as a cell therapy product, in order to replace lost or damaged ocular surface tissue. We are taking this aspect to the next level and are working towards initiating a phase I clinical trial, using conjunctival organoids as a cell therapy product.

On a different note, we sequenced patient ocular surface tumors in order to identify the mutations that caused these. This information can now be used to offer patients with better-suited targeted therapies.
Influence of Air Pollution on Respiratory Disease
Authors: Kelly Frank J.
Published: March 2023

A large number of individuals live in areas of poor air quality, especially in urban environments. Such residency is linked with the exacerbation of asthma, respiratory morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and increased risk of viral respiratory infections. Recent studies, again particularly in urban areas, suggest a role for air pollution in the development of both asthma and COPD. In cities the major pollutant of concern is particulate matter (PM), which in both Europe and North America arises mostly from traffic, while in Asia biomass combustion also makes an important contribution. No matter the source, PM exposure can give rise to oxidative stress in the airways. Recent advances in understanding the mechanisms implicated in the association of air pollutants and airway disease include epigenetic alteration of genes by combustion-related pollutants and how polymorphisms in genes, involved in antioxidant pathways and airway inflammation, can modify responses to air pollution exposures. Other interesting epidemiological observations related to the increase of host susceptibility include a possible link between chronic PM exposure during childhood and vulnerability to COPD in adulthood, and that infants subjected to higher prenatal levels of air pollution may be at greater risk of developing respiratory conditions. As medical research continues to expand links between air pollution and an increased incidence and/or severity of airway disease, there is an ongoing need for policy initiatives to improve air quality. Furthermore, accessible, easy to interpret, and engaging information systems are needed to help individuals with respiratory conditions to make informed choices about their behaviour, in a way that improves their health as well as the quality of the air they breathe.
There’s more to IgE – Let’s Talk Severe Asthma
Authors: Ray Nicola
Published: March 2023

The meeting discussed the current understanding of the role of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in asthma, and anti-IgE strategies in the treatment of severe asthma. Prof Gary Anderson provided an overview of the integral role of IgE in the inflammatory pathways involved in the pathogenesis of severe asthma and the development of omalizumab (Xolair®), an anti-IgE therapy. Prof William Busse presented some of the clinical findings on the use of omalizumab for virus-provoked asthma. Prof Jan Lötvall discussed how phenotyping could improve the development of patient-targeted treatment strategies in asthma. Finally, Prof David Price discussed how changes to the clinical management of patients with severe asthma could improve patient outcomes.
Long-Term Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) for COPD Patients with Chronic Respiratory Failure
Authors: Nava Stefano , Ergan Begüm
Published: March 2023

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health issue worldwide, with disease burden, healthcare costs, and mortality rates all significant and increasing. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is used to manage acute exacerbations of COPD associated with mild-to-moderate acidosis. Continuing NIV after discharge can reduce the risk of re-exacerbation, and decrease hospitalisation rates and healthcare resource use. A number of positive effects have been documented during NIV treatment in patients with stable hypercapnic COPD. These include reductions in hypercapnia and hypoxaemia, improvements in quality of life (QoL) and neuropsychological function, reduced hospital admissions and costs, and improved benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation. The effect of NIV targeting carbon dioxide reduction on long-term survival remains to be clearly determined, but is the subject of ongoing research. Overall, accumulating evidence suggests that NIV also has a role in the long-term management of stable hypercapnic COPD. It is expected that long-term NIV will be most useful for the subgroup of patients with frequent exacerbations of disease. Co-morbidities such as obesity, heart failure, or sleep-disordered breathing could further support the use of long-term NIV in the setting of stable hypercapnic COPD.
Inhaled Ambient Particulate Matter and Lung Health Burden

Increased ambient particulate matter (PM) has been associated with various cardio-respiratory disorders and emergency room visits due to short-term and long-term exposures. However, most of the efforts correlating PM exposure with human health hazards have primarily focused on cardiovascular impairments, although the lung acts as the primary port of entry, and is therefore also the primary target organ. Emerging evidences have shown an association between increased PM and respiratory illness, particularly chronic lung diseases. PM10, PM2.5, ultrafine particles, or nanoparticles (NPs) are of interest in this regard. Particle surface area increases with decreasing size and surface related parameters such as oxidative potency, solubility, and bioavailability, and are widely regarded as the parameters determining particle toxicity. Factory utility smoke stacks, vehicle exhaust, wood, and biomass burning act as the primary sources for ambient PM, coupled with composition variability. Revolution of nanotechnology during the last decade brought forward concerns about NPs as a potential new health hazard as well. Epidemiological, clinical, and experimental studies suggest oxidative stress, inflammation, impaired inflammation resolution, and altered coagulation cascade homeostasis as the causative mechanisms of both pulmonary and cardiovascular impairments due to PM exposure. Children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing conditions are found to be the most vulnerable subjects. Respiratory symptoms of increased PM exposure include increased infection, pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, exacerbation of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, declined forced expiratory volume in 1 second, and forced vital capacity, apart from the classically known phenomenon of asbestosis, silicosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer, and pneumoconiosis.
Antiphospholipid Syndrome Novel Therapies
Authors: Bittar Mohamad , Uthman Imad
Published: March 2023

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterised by arterial and/or venous thrombosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, and persistently positive antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs). It could be life-threatening as in the case of catastrophic APS where multi-organ failure is observed. APS morbidities are thought to be the result of a combination of thrombotic and inflammatory processes. Over the past decades, the mainstay of therapy of APS has been anticoagulation. As new mechanisms of pathogenesis are being unravelled with time, novel targeted immunomodulatory therapies are being proposed as promising agents in the treatment of APS. In this article, we present an overview of new pathogenetic mechanisms in APS as well as novel antithrombotic and immunomodulatory therapies.
Idiopathic Scoliosis
Authors: Brox Jens Ivar
Published: March 2023

Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a lifetime condition and is defined as a structural, lateral rotated curvature of the spine of >10° on standing coronal plane radiographs. It should be distinguished from other causes of scoliosis. It can be classified as infantile, juvenile, and adolescent according to age. As a rule of thumb, about 80% of all curves are idiopathic, right convex thoracic, and present in otherwise healthy girls at the beginning of puberty. A family member most commonly detects scoliosis. The structural asymmetry of the spine is best observed by asking the patient to bend forward. IS is often seen in more than one member of a family, but the aetiology remains unknown. Multiple genes are likely to be involved with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. Early detection by screening allows for monitoring curve progression and timely initiation of bracing, but school screening is controversial and practises vary worldwide. Most patients have minor scoliosis and treatment is generally not recommended for patients with curves <20°, but in many European countries clinicians recommend physiotherapy (scoliosis specific exercises) for smaller curves. The indication for bracing is a progressive curve of 25-45° in a growing child. Its effectiveness has been debated, but in a large recent randomised study, the number of teenagers with high-risk curves who progressed to the threshold of surgery was significantly reduced. Surgery is recommended for patients with curves >45°. Scoliosis surgery was not successful until the introduction of Harrington’s instrumentation in the 1960s. Modern instrumentation has evolved from the Cotrel-Dubousset system in the 1980s, and a variety of methods are available today. Although scoliosis may be a burden, long-term studies suggest that a good quality of life is maintained in most patients.
Osteoporosis-Related Mortality: Time-Trends and Predictive Factors
Authors: Ziadé Nelly
Published: March 2023

Osteoporosis is one of the leading causes of handicap worldwide and a major contributor to the global burden of diseases. In particular, osteoporosis is associated with excess mortality. We reviewed the impact of osteoporosis on mortality in a population by defining three categories: mortality following hip fractures, mortality following other sites of fractures, and mortality associated with low bone mineral density (BMD). Hip fractures, as well as other fractures at major sites are all associated with excess mortality, except at the forearm site. This excess mortality is higher during the first 3-6 months after the fracture and then declines over time, but remains higher than the mortality of the normal population up to 22 years after the fracture. Low BMD is also associated with high mortality, with hazard ratios of around 1.3 for every decrease in 1 standard deviation of bone density at 5 years, independently of fractures, reflecting a more fragile population. Finally predictors of mortality were identified and categorised in demographic known factors (age and male gender) and in factors reflecting a poor general health status such as the number of comorbidities, low mental status, or level of social dependence. Our results indicate that the management of a patient with osteoporosis should include a multivariate approach that could be based on predictive models in the future.
