Introduction: Intramedullary Nailing (IMN) has been the gold standard treatment for femoral shaft fractures. Earlier it was managed by Küntscher nail (K nail) fixation. However, in developing countries K nail may still be used as a low-cost fixation device. Heterotrophic Ossification (HO) is a rare complication following nailing in the treatment of femoral shaft fractures. HO along the K nail presenting with late symptomatology have been discussed rarely. Case report: A 43-year old male presented with a symptomatic callus cap along the proximal end of a left sided femoral K nail. He developed severe pain after a prolonged duration approximating around twenty years of the primary femoral fixation. The hip joint pain intensified with significant limitation affecting daily routine activities. Excision of the smooth contoured callus cap along with the removal of nail was done. The hip function recovered with painless full range of hip motion. There was no evidence of recurrence noted at a twoyear follow-up. Discussion: The smooth contour of the cap correlated to a persisting HO around the protruding end of K nail with no initial symptoms. The compressive and pressure symptoms along with the callus cap encroachment now contributes to the painful symptoms. The late symptomatology may reasonably be attributed to either impingement or abutment of the callus cap along the pelvic wall. Conclusion: K nail is an uncommon fixation device for femoral fracture fixation. HO following K nail being another uncommon infrequent complication. The symptomatic acquired HO should be considered for excision to preserve the hip joint function and maintain the ability to do activities of daily living. Keywords: callus cap; heterotrophic ossification; un-reamed nailing; femur fracture; küntscher nail. Abbreviations: IMN: Intramedullary Nail; HO: Heterotrophic Ossification; K-nail: Küntscher Nail.

A 38-year-old Asian man was referred to our hospital due to a history of decompensated heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a left ventricular ejection fraction of 29%. The chest radiograph demonstrated an increased cardiothoracic ratio. There was right paratracheal soft tissue density with compression on the right side of the trachea (Figure A, Arrowhead). We performed coronary angiography (CAG) via the right femoral approach that revealed non-significant coronary artery disease. Regarding the difficulty of performing CAG, we did the aortography that demonstrated anomalous aortic arch. We also identify the left common carotid artery arising from the ascending aorta (Figure B, Arrowhead). 3D reconstruction of computed tomography angiography revealed left common carotid artery was the first branch that arose from the ascending aorta (Figure C, Arrowhead), followed by the right carotid artery (Figure C, Arrow), the right subclavian, and the aberrant left subclavian arteries (Figure C, Asterisk), respectively. The right arch passed between the superior vena cava and the right side of the trachea and esophagus, crossing over the right main bronchus to join the descending aorta (Figure D, Arrowhead). Mid-esophagus (Figure E, Arrow) and trachea (Figure E, Arrowhead) had anterior displacement by the pressured effect of the aberrant left subclavian artery. Suggestive of right aortic arch with circumflex aorta and aberrant left subclavian artery.

Introduction: Proximal humeral reconstructive alternatives in orthopedic oncology are well described, but the literature regarding post-failure salvage is sparse. This report details a multiply failed humeral reconstruction that ultimately resulted in resection arthroplasty. Although initial tumor resection was treated with an intercalary reconstruction, this case is unique in that its sequelae are equally applicable to failures of proximal humeral reconstruction. Case presentation: We report a 61-year-old Caucasian woman with ultimate removal of a second proximal humeral reconstruction twenty-two years after initial grade I chondrosarcoma resection, leaving essentially a shoulder resection arthroplasty Conclusion: The patient’s acceptance of resection arthroplasty in this case suggests that not all failures of proximal humeral major reconstructive procedures need to be revised to another reconstruction. Resection arthroplasty is much less complex than revision surgery, requires little healing time, expedites recovery, minimizes subsequent further complications and allows for excellent pain relief. Resection arthroplasty may be a plausible approach after failed orthopedic oncology humeral reconstruction in carefully selected patients. Keywords: chondrosarcoma; resection arthroplasty; reconstruction; musculoskeletal tumor; intercalary allograft; proximal humerus; shoulder; shoulder arthroplasty

Tratamos de analizar, desde la distancia que nos proporcionan estos dos años de pandemia, cómo ha impactado esta crisis en el ecosistema comunicativo, en los hábitos de consumo de medios y en la opinión pública.
Impacto en el consumo de TV en España debido a las restricciones de movilidad por covid-19 en 2020
Authors: Silva-Torres Juan José , Martínez Martínez Luz , Cuesta Cambra Ubaldo
Published: March 2022

El 14 marzo de 2020 se decretó en España el estado de alarma incluyendo medidas restrictivas de movilidad y de la actividad económica. Estas restricciones provocaron cambios en los hábitos de vida, entretenimiento y consumo de medios. La constante necesidad de información impulsó a la televisión como canal de confianza para acercar la actualidad a la ciudadanía. La interrupción de la programación con avances informativos marcó la parrilla televisiva y disparó su consumo, sobre todo en momentos de confinamiento estricto. Se produjo una caída de la inversión publicitaria en televisión de -18,4% respecto a 2019 y de -50% en los meses de abril y mayo. El incremento del consumo de televisión se puede explicar por dos motivos: la necesidad de información sobre el contexto epidemiológico y el incremento del tiempo que el ciudadano pasó en su residencia como consecuencia de las restricciones de movilidad. El primer punto puede contrastarse con el aumento significativo de la audiencia de los telediarios, el segundo, estudiando la correlación entre consumo y movilidad de los ciudadanos. Este análisis permite predecir el consumo televisivo en función de la movilidad y diseñar mejores estrategias de planificación de medios adaptadas a los posibles escenarios provocados por el covid-19.

Published: March 2022

The implementation of the regional autonomy policy has brought changes to the regional government system, which has implications for the increasing role of the executive in making public policies, especially those related to regional budgeting. The regional autonomy policy is a gap for budget makers to act opportunistically. Opportunistic behavior is an act of seeking self-interest by using deception. This study aims to determine the effect of regional original revenue, special allocation funds, revenue sharing funds, SiLPA, and flypaper effects on opportunistic behavior in budgeting. The sample was taken from the provincial government in Indonesia by purposive sampling method. The test tool uses multiple linear regression. The study results found that the special allocation fund, SiLPA, and flypaper effect affected opportunistic behavior in budgeting. In contrast, regional original revenue and revenue sharing funds did not affect opportunistic behavior in budgeting.

Published: March 2022

Four new records of the ragged-tooth shark (Odontaspis ferox, i.e., smalltooth sand tiger), are reported from recreational and commercial fisheries in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Two specimens of unknown sex were caught in the recreational swordfish (Xiphias gladius) fishery in the northern Gulf of Mexico [about 225 and 250 cm total length (TL)], a mature male was caught in the South Atlantic Bight (about 200 cm TL) by an angler targeting barrelfish (Hyperoglyphe perciformis), and another mature male was caught in the Sargasso Sea off Bermuda (about 275 cm TL) by a commercial fisher targeting Atlantic wreckfish (Polyprion americanus). All four specimens were incidentally caught on rod-and-reel and released alive. The Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Bight specimens reported herein contribute to the limited number of ragged-tooth shark interactions in these regions, while the observation in Bermuda is the first documented record for this locality.

Colonial Bungalow Design in the Twenty-First Century Karachi: A Cultural Identity Basis for Architectural Identity of Pakistan
Authors: Samani Arisa , Tabibi Baharak
Published: March 2022

Culture; the essence of Pakistan’s independence of 1947; has been impacted by various ideologies and civil powers like Mughals, Sikhs, Hindus, and most influential Britishers who ruled the land long before the country got its independence. Karachi, the port city of Pakistan has particularly attracted many powers for economic benefits, dominantly Britishers who later took over the land. Britishers brought the Bungalow-compound complex as a permanent residence typology due to their long stay in the city. The importation and transformation of this new housing typology have framed the architectural identity of Pakistan and have defined the lifestyle of its citizens, which is a cultural synthesis between the East and the West. Though the Bungalow design in Karachi has evolved with time as per the native’s culture and needs having different plot sizes, shapes/forms, open/built ratio, space arrangements, and materials that have changed its overall aesthetic point of view but the core remain the same. This research aims to analyse the British reign in pre-independence India through their socio-cultural, economic, and political influence on bungalow design and its transformation over time in the context of Karachi, Pakistan, i.e., Western influence combined with modernity. Keywords: Cultural Identity, Architectural Identity, Colonial Bangalows, Twenty- First Century Bangalows, Karachi

Authors: ULUDÜZ Çağrı , AYDIN Çağlar
Published: March 2022

The use of artificial intelligence in design processes has become highly visible. The utilitarian use of this new technology in design raises questions about the relationship between man and machine and its contribution to the final product. This study, which was carried out specifically for chair design, analyzes the design outputs obtained from Autodesk's Fusion 360 software, and examines how far the generative system can realize the chair design without the contribution of the designer. The contribution of generative design to the design process has been examined in terms of form, material and manufacturing technology. In this context, it reveals that the role of the designer in creating a complex design product cannot be ignored.

Tireoidite após infecção por COVID-19: aspectos clínicos
Authors: da Silva Barros Daniel Higor
Published: March 2022

Introdução: Dentre as complicações SARS-CoV2 está presente a tireoidite subaguda (SAT); distúrbio inflamatório da glândula tireóide que tem como principal característica a clínica de tireotoxicose. Objetivo: O atual estudo propõe-se a elucidar a relação entre COVID-19 e SAT. Método: Pesquisou-se na base de dados do Pubmed, trabalhos a partir do ano de 2020, utilizando os seguintes descritores: ”thyreoiditis”, “COVID-19” e “SARS-CoV2”. Resultados: A COVID caracteriza-se por uma infecção do trato respiratório com gravidade de leve a fatal. O vírus responsável pela doença, o SARS-CoV-2, usa como receptor de entrada na célula a enzima conversora de angiotensina 2 (ACE2), também presentes no tecido folicular da tireóide. A tireoidite subaguda (SAT) é um distúrbio inflamatório tireoidiano que costuma causar tireotoxicose estando associada a infecção viral. Nesses pacientes a tireoide pode ser afetada por efeito indireto através de alterações nas respostas imunes e inflamatórias causadas pela infecção por SARS-CoV-2 ou efeito viral direto sobre a estrutura da tireoide, tornando a SAT uma complicação da infecção pelo SARS-CoV2. Os métodos utilizados para avaliar a SAT são ultrassonografia de tireóide, PCR, TSH, hormônios tireoidianos e anticorpos anti tireóide. Os estudos mostram a SAT como uma possível sequela pós COVID-19, podendo acontecer de semanas a meses após a infecção, com clínica de tireotoxicose, muitas vezes de curto prazo. Conclusão: A SAT é uma das inúmeras complicações e sequelas da infecção pelo vírus SARS-CoV2. Mesmo sendo considerada uma condição autolimitante, a incidência da SAT e suas consequências a longo prazo devem ser estudadas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: tireoidite subaguda, SARS-CoV2, tireotoxicose, COVID-19
Fatores que tornam o Sexo Feminino mais predisponente à Doença de Alzheimer: Revisão de Literatura
Authors: Marim Kathisuemy , Apolinário Comério Isabela , Duarte Bassetti Isabella , Drago Riguette Broseghini Lia
Published: March 2022

A doença de Alzheimer é uma patologia neurodegenerativa de alta prevalência na população, sendo ainda mais frequente no sexo feminino. Apesar de não apresentar etiologia definida, estudos apontam que a progressão da idade associada à perda da função endócrina no período da perimenopausa parece ser o principal fator fisiopatológico que torna as mulheres mais predisponente ao Alzheimer, visto que esse mecanismo interfere negativamente regiões cerebrais responsáveis por funções cognitivas. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo revisar a literatura sobre os possíveis fatores que influenciam na predisposição feminina à doença. Neste estudo, foram considerados artigos, nos idiomas português e inglês, que apresentassem como temática a associação da predisposição do sexo feminino ao Alzheimer. A seguinte revisão de literatura utilizou-se dos bancos de dados eletrônicos SciELO, MedLine e PubMed, e, para a condução da busca, valeu-se dos descritores: “Doença de Alzheimer”, “fatores predisponentes” e “sexo feminino”, além de suas possíveis associações. A pesquisa inicial envolveu 20 artigos e os estudos sugerem que a doença de Alzheimer é 1,5 a 3 vezes mais prevalente em mulheres. A progressão da doença caracteriza-se pela piora sucessiva dos sintomas, sendo os primeiros associados a uma diminuição da memória recente, a dificuldade de realizar tarefas diárias de maneira independente e de se orientar no tempo e no espaço. Assim, devido à alta incidência e à complexidade da doença se justifica tal estudo para melhor entendimento sobre suas formas de tratamento e, principalmente, sobre os fatores de risco que atingem a parcela feminina da população. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Doença de Alzheimer, fatores predisponentes, sexo feminino
A Mathematical Model to Determine the Optimal Ratio of Researchers of Different Categories for Solving a Scientific Problem in the Military Sphere
Authors: Semenenko Liliia , Kirsanov Serhii , Solomitsky Alexey , Onofriichuk Petro , Chernyshova Iryna
Published: March 2022

In the paper, the authors propose a variant of the mathematical model for justifying the optimal ratio of researchers of different categories to conduct scientific research of the highest possible quality in conditions of limited resources. The discrepancy is formulated between the quality of scientific research and the restriction on financial resources, that is, the problem of resource allocation is solved. The relationship between the quality of scientific research and the number of researchers is proposed to be reflected by the canonical parabola equation. A mathematical model is formulated that reflects the essence of the question under study. The problem is solved using the method of Lagrange multipliers. The results of the study are confirmed by a numerical experiment. Resource constraints have always existed. This is especially true now for the development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and increasing their combat and mobilisation readiness, which result in the country's defence capability as a whole. Limited funding also takes place in military science. It is very difficult to introduce new full-time positions and divisions. Previously, the number of researchers was justified following regulatory documents when creating scientific institutions and divisions, or by analogy with similar scientific institutions. In other words, the problem was solved empirically or situationally. This scientific study concerns substantiating the number of scientific personnel in conditions of limited resources, taking into account the work that is now performed and will be performed in the future.
