Variance components due to direct and maternal effects for birth weight of Brown Swiss cattle
Authors: Soydan Ercan
Published: October 2018

This study was conducted to estimate variance components and genetic parameters for birth weights of Brown Swiss calves. Experimental data were gathered from the records of a State Farm of Turkey (Konuklar) covering the years between 1995 and 2005. Random effects considered in this study included direct and maternal additive genetic effects, maternal permanent environmental effects with direct-maternal genetic covariance and random residual effects. AI-REML algorithm of WOMBAT software was used to estimate variance and covariance components, genetic parameters and breeding values. The general mean for birth weights of all calves was calculated as 38.12±0.006 kg. The least square for mean birth weights was calculated as 38.99±0.007 kg for male calves and as 37.26±0.008 for female calves. Direct heritability (hD2), maternal heritability (hM2), total heritability (hT2), rAM and cAM estimates were respectively calculated as 0.15, 0.10, 0.39, 0.96 and 0.13

Data on Production diseases assessment in Indian dairy cattle is less. The objective of this study was to assess the Non-esterified fatty acids level in three different small holder farms of Cauvery Delta region of Tamilnadu. Sixty cross bred dairy cattle were selected at different levels of lactation in the three farms. Serum samples were analyzed for non esterified fatty acids (NEFA). Mean ± standard deviations of the values were arrived and the data were statistically analyzed. NEFA values of early, mid, late lactation, Far off dry and close up dry cows were 0.39±0.09, 0.24±0.03, 0.19±0.03, 0.18±0.03 and 0.23±0.03mmol/L, respectively. No significant variations were recorded in between the farms. Cows at early lactation had higher NEFA concentrations where as lowest concentrations was observed in Far off Dry cows.

Authors: . S.V. Sukhadeve, and , . Neelam Bansal , . Devendra Pathak
Published: October 2018

The present work was conducted on oviduct of 42 Punjab white quails to observe the histomorphochemical and ultrastructural details of sperm host glands. The tissue samples were collected from the uterovaginal and infundiomagnal junctions of the oviduct in 10% NBF and 2.5% glutaralehyde solutions and processed for histological and electronmicroscopic studies. Fresh tissue samples were collected for cryostat sectioning to demonstrate lipids. It was observed that the UVJ was lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium with ciliated, non ciliated cells, goblet cells and basal cells. The sperm host glands extended into lamina propria of UVJ as oval, rounded and straight tubules. The proximal part of glandular neck was lined by pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium and distal part with non ciliated columnar cells. The ciliated cells showed cilia and microvilli on the apical surface in the neck region, whereas the non ciliated cells present in the distal part of SHG had oval or elongated nuclei in their basal part and were studded with some of the microvilli in their luminal surface. These glands were surrounded by some of the smooth muscle cells and nerve fibers. Histochemical studies revealed a moderate to strong reaction of acid and neutral mucopolysaccharides and lipids whereas reaction for basic proteins was weak in the supranuclear part of SHG.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Plantago major liquid extract on serum antioxidant vitamin and mineral concentrations of broiler. The experiment consisted of the control and 2 treatment groups, composed of 28 Ross 308 broiler chicks (Total, 84). A basal (control) diet was formulated. P. Major was added to the control diet as following: PM1 (5 g/kg feed), PM2 (10 g/kg feed). The chicks were feed for 42 days ad libitum. The serum micronutrients (Retinol, á-tocopherol, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, and zinc) levels were determined. The retinol, á-tocopherol, Fe, Mg, Mn levels were not affected, and the Zn levels decreased in the PM1 and PM2. The supplementation of P. major has affected the serum vitamin D and Zn levels for this study, and should be analyzed for the alterations on the metabolism in subsequent studies.

Authors: . Ranjana , Arora Anju , Panwar R. K. , Verma S.K.
Published: October 2018

Validation of two primers TA144 and TR29 for their linkage with botrytis grey mould resistance gene was studied in twenty genotypes of chickpea including resistant (GL10006) and susceptible (DCP92-3) checks. The genotypes were also scored for disease reaction under natural exposure at hot spot location. Molecular analysis with primers TA144 and TR29 showed polymorphic bands in GL10006 and DCP92-3. Therefore, it can be concluded that the primers are linked with resistance gene. The genotypes that showed amplicons with both the primers at same or nearby positions of resistant check were HK-2, HK-4, BG-1003, KAK-2 and GNG-1969 and indicated as resistant or moderately resistant ones. The above genotypes were also found resistant under natural field condition. Thus both the primers TA144 and TR29 showed good correlation with phenotypic evaluation in most of the genotypes studied. In future, more number of primers nearby the resistance gene(s) can be tried for their contribution towards overall disease reaction.

Published: October 2018

Objective: To examine racial differences in outcomes with coronary computed to­mographic angiography (CCTA) vs standard emergency department (ED) evaluation for chest pain.Design: Retrospective analysis of the pro­spective, randomized, multicenter Rule Out Myocardial Ischemia/Infarction by Comput­er Assisted Tomography (ROMICAT-II) trial.Setting: ED at nine hospitals in the United States.Participants: 940 patients who were Cau­casian or African American (AA) presenting to the ED with chest pain.Interventions: CCTA or standard ED evalu­ationMain Outcome Measures: Length of stay, hospital admission, direct ED discharge, downstream testing and repeat ED visit or hospitalization for recurrent chest pain at 28 days. Safety end points: missed acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and cumulative radiation exposure during the index visit and follow-up period.Results: 659 (66%) patients self-identified as Caucasian and 281 (28%) self-identified as AA. AA were younger and more often female compared with Caucasians, had a higher prevalence of hypertension (64% vs 49%, P<.001) and diabetes (23% vs 14%, P<.001) and a lower prevalence of hyperlipidemia (28% vs 51%, P<.001). ACS was more frequent among Caucasians (10% vs 2%, P<.001). Randomization to CCTA resulted in a reduction in median LOS for Caucasians (7.4 vs 24.7 hours, P<.001) and AA (8.9 vs. 26.3, P<.001; P-interac­tion=.88). Both AA and Caucasian patients experienced greater radiation exposure and more downstream testing with CCTA compared with standard evaluation.Conclusions: Early CCTA reduced median LOS for both AA and Caucasian patients presenting to the ED with chest pain by ap­proximately 17 hours compared with stan­dard evaluation.Ethn Dis. 2018;28(4):517- 524; doi:10.18865/ed.28.4.517.

Published: October 2018

Purpose: John Henryism (JH) is a strong behavioral predisposition to engage in high-effort coping with difficult socioen­vironmental stressors. We investigated associations between JH and perceived general health (GH) among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients in a multiracial Brazilian population.Design: The 12-item John Henryism Acting Coping (JHAC) Scale was completed by 525 patients enrolled in The Prospective Study of the Prognosis of Hemodialysis Patients (PROHEMO) in Salvador (Bahia) Brazil. JH scores could range from 12 to 60. The low and high JH groups were determined by a median split (<52 vs ≥52). The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey was used to determine GH score (range 0-100; higher means better health). Linear regression with extensive adjustments was used to test as­sociations.Results: Mean age was 48.3±13.7 years; 38.7% were female; 11.4% were White, 29.1% were Black and 59.4% were mixed race. JH was positively associated with higher GH in the whole sample (adjusted difference [AdjDif]=7.14, 95% CI= 2.98, 11.3) and similarly in men and women. A strong positive association between JH and GH was observed in non-Whites but not in Whites; (AdjDif in Blacks =16.4, 95% CI=8.37, 24.4). Also, a strong positive as­sociation between JH and GH was observed for patients aged <60 years (AdjDif =9.04, 95% CI = 4.46, 13.6) but not for older patients.Conclusions: The results indicate that MHD patients engaged in high-effort coping with socioenvironmental stressors as demonstrat­ed by high JH tend to feel more positively about their overall health. This seems to be especially the case for non-White and younger patients. Ethn Dis. 2018;28(4):539- 548; doi:10.18865/ed.28.4.539.

Bouncing oil droplets, de Broglie's quantum thermostat and convergence to equilibrium
Authors: Hatifi Mohamed , Willox Ralph , Colin Samuel , Durt Thomas
Published: October 2018

Recently, the properties of bouncing oil droplets, also known as `walkers', have attracted much attention because they are thought to offer a gateway to a better understanding of quantum behaviour. They indeed constitute a macroscopic realization of wave-particle duality, in the sense that their trajectories are guided by a self-generated surrounding wave. The aim of this paper is to try to describe walker phenomenology in terms of de Broglie-Bohm dynamics and of a stochastic version thereof. In particular, we first study how a stochastic modification of the de Broglie pilot-wave theory, à la Nelson, affects the process of relaxation to quantum equilibrium, and we prove an H-theorem for the relaxation to quantum equilibrium under Nelson-type dynamics. We then compare the onset of equilibrium in the stochastic and the de Broglie-Bohm approaches and we propose some simple experiments by which one can test the applicability of our theory to the context of bouncing oil droplets. Finally, we compare our theory to actual observations of walker behavior in a 2D harmonic potential well.
Interpretation of Sedimentary Processes Using Heavy Mineral Unconstrained Data
Authors: Cascalho João
Published: October 2018

This work describes and interprets the presence of heavy minerals in the western Portuguese continental margin using a set of 78 bottom samples collected from 3 distinct areas of this margin: Porto, Aveiro and Nazaré canyon head areas. The main transparent heavy mineral suite (minerals with frequencies >10%), is composed by amphiboles (hornblende), mica (biotite), andalusite, tourmaline and garnet. A secondary suite (minerals with frequencies between 1 and 10%), is composed by pyroxene (enstatite, diopside and augite), staurolite, zircon and apatite. With very low frequency representing less than 1% we found rutile, olivine, kyanite, monazite, epidote, sphene, anatase, sillimanite and brookite. The main primary sources (igneous and metamorphic rocks) explain the presence of these minerals. However, the application of the principal component analysis, with a previous application of the centered log ratio transformation of the heavy mineral data, also stresses for the importance of the grain sorting as a process in controlling the heavy mineral occurrence. The importance of this process is mostly sustained by the distribution pattern of mica and of the most flattened amphibole grains in a way that these particles tend to have a hydraulic affinity to finer grained sediments.

Published: October 2018

Bio-economy is a major area of the strategy that must enable the European Union to achieve growth: smart, through the development of knowledge and innovation; and sustainable, based on a greener, more efficient economy in resource management. We believe that the progress of bio-economy cannot be achieved without the harnessing of intellectual capital. Our research aimed to emphasize the benefits of the dynamics of the intellectual capital growth on the evolution of the bio-economy. The aim of this analysis was to study the established link between the Energy Intensity of the Economy (EIE) and a number of factors that can measure the intellectual capital, such as: Market Capitalization of Bitcoin, Patent applications listed by European Patent Office and the Turnover from Innovation as a proportion of the total Turnover. The ultimate goal was represented by the generation of a regression model to see what factor influences mostly the progress of the bio-economy at European and Romanian level.
A Study on the Risk Management Strategy for Military Installations Project of Yongsan Relocation Plan Using Structural Equation Model
Authors: Yoon Hobin , Lee Chansik
Published: October 2018

Some of the recent large-scale national projects in South Korea are delayed or suspended due to belated responses to risk occurring on site. Currently, the Far East District (FED) project is being implemented to relocate the US Army bases from Yongsan to Pyeongtaek. Because of lack of experience and understanding about the characteristics of such a project, the deadline of taking over to the US Army Korea has been missed. This study identifies problems of each participant in the Yongsan Relocation Plan (YRP) of the US Army Korea with respect to construction project management and establishes a risk management strategy reflecting characteristics of FED project. To derive significant risk factors influencing YRP, various field data like weekly and monthly reports and other reports on construction condition are analyzed, and experts’ advices are collected and a survey is conducted. Mediators and latent variables are ultimately obtained. Furthermore, a structural equation model is used to both analyze and evaluate complex causal relations among many variables of YRP. The impact of risk factors on the schedule, quality and cost of the project is analyzed. In particular, the case of Site A is examined to see how the project is affected by those risk factors.

To explore eHealth literacy and general interest in using eHealth information among patients with dental diseases. A total of 171 patients with dental diseases completed the survey including the eHEALS. The effect of participants' age, gender and education on eHealth literacy was assessed. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was also used to assess the correlation between the importance of access to health information and the usefulness of the internet for decision-making. The mean score of eHealth literacy in the participants was 30.55 (SD = 4.069) which shows that the participants had a high level of eHealth literacy. The participants' age has significant effect on eHealth literacy level (t = 3.573, P-value = 0.002). Moreover, there was a significant correlation between the total score of eHealth literacy and the importance of access to eHealth information (r = 0.33, n = 171, P < 0.001). The difference in eHealth literacy in terms of educational background showed no statistically significant differences (F = 1.179, P-value = 0.322). Determining eHealth literacy among dental patients leads to a better understanding of their problems in health decision-making. Furthermore, Dental institutions efforts should aim to raise awareness on online health information quality and to encourage patients to use evaluation tools, especially among low electronic health literate patients.

This study describes the design and implementation of an electronic nose, which was applied to classify and identify hazardous gases generated in underground coal mines. For this purpose, an electrochemical sensor array was used to detect a set of toxic gases. This work illustrates the electronic components of a wireless multisensory system for the toxic gases detection on indoor environments (i.e., underground mines), which was performed with reduced size, low cost and low electrical consumption, in order to detect different compounds using the basic principle of operation of each component to be applied to the target gas. Furthermore, the sample collection, data communication and data processing in real time obtained an excellent performance for gas sensing and even to measure the concentration level of the chemical volatile compounds transmitted from different points of the detection zone. The results demonstrated that using a wireless electronic nose for toxic gases detection was possible to reach a success rate of discrimination of 97%, using principal components analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA).

Published: October 2018

Background: Obesity is associated with insulin resistance (IR). Through exercise insulin resistant obese patients can effectively improve their cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). The effect of exercise on patients CRF can be determined by oxygen pulse (PO2) analysis. Despite its usefulness, there is limited literature on PO2 analysis in patients with obesity and insulin resistance. Objective: The goal of the present study is to evaluate the relation between PO2 and IR in sedentary obese women. Methods: 55 women were submitted to a maximal exercise test for evaluation of maximal oxygen consumption and PO2. The subjects with a Homeostatic model assessment of IR index greater or equal to 2.5 were considered as insulin-resistant. Participants were divided into 2 groups, IR group (n=35) and Non-IR group (n=20). Results: IR group had lower values of PO2 relative to body weight (11.0±1.7 versus 12.6±1.4 ml∙kg∙beats-1, p=0.001) and relative to lean mass (21.7±2.9 versus 23.2±2.8 ml∙kg∙beats-1, p=0.038) than Non- IR group. No statistical differences were found in maximal oxygen consumption between groups (Non IR=1.53±0.27 L∙min-1, IR=1.51±0.28 L∙min-1; p=0.386). PO2 relative to body weight and HOMA-IR was inversely correlated (p<0.001; r=-0.465). Logistic regression analysis showed an association between PO2 relative to weight (p=0.001, OR=0.47) and fat free mass (p=0.01, OR=0.73), both models adjusted by age. Conclusions: This study demonstrates a relation between HOMA-IR and PO2. Our results suggest that PO2 could be a protective factor against insulin resistance.

Background: Patients with cervical cancer (CC) receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy have several gastrointestinal adverse effects. Objective: To evaluate the effect of dietary symbiotic supplementation on fecal calprotectin, bacterial DNA levels, and gastrointestinal adverse effects in patients with CC. Methods: Clinical, controlled, randomized, double-blind trial. Patients consumed symbiotics or placebo three times a day for 7 weeks. Fecal calprotectin was assessed by Elisa method. DNA from probiotic and pathogenic bacteria were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Diarrheal evacuations were evaluated with the Bristol scale and nausea and vomiting were measured using the scale of the National Institute of Cancerology of the United States. Results: Fecal calprotectin concentration was lower in the symbiotic group compared to the control group (p <0.001). The concentrations and total proportions of the probiotic and pathogenic bacteria were similar in both groups. Nausea cases significantly diminished in both groups (p <0.001) at the end of the trial. Furthermore, the symbiotic group had a statistically significant decrease in the frequency and intensity of vomiting when compared to the control group (p <0.001). Conclusions: The symbiotic treatment decreases significantly the fecal calprotectin levels and the frequency and intensity of vomiting in patients with CC. KEYWORDS: faecal calprotectin, cervical cancer, symbiotic, qPCR.

Mungbean is one of the strategic annual food crops that needed by Indonesian people because of the high protein and minerals. Production of mungbean in Indonesia always decreases. Cultural improvements are needed to increase productivity i.e by appropriate fertilization and plant density. The experiment objective was to find out the optimum dosage of organic fertilizer and plant density for the growth and yield of mungbean. The experiment was carried out using factorial completely randomized design (CRD). The first factor treatments were organic fertilizer which consisted of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 ton ha-1, while the second-factor treatments were planted density which consisted of 1 and 2 plants in the hole. Organic fertilizer of 5 ton ha-1 gave the best result for plant height, number of branches, flowering age, number of pods, fresh weight and dried straw, weight of 100 seeds, number and weight of seeds, small of seeds number and P nutrient uptake of the plant. The 2 plants per hole gave the best result for branches number, pods number and number of small seeds. Application of 5 ton ha-1 organic fertilizer and 1 plant per hole gave better yield. No interaction of organic fertilizer and plant density to mungbean growth and yield.

There is a growing consensus that an accomplished curriculum vitae and prior achievement as an academician may not correlate with success as a chairperson of a contemporary academic orthopaedic department. As surgeons, formal professional education, research expertise, and clinical experience often are inadequate to foster the necessary skills and experience in executive leadership, change management, business administration, and strategy. The recruiting and hiring processes to fill academic leadership roles have been slow to adapt and recognize the skills that are necessary to be a successful chairperson. Recent research has identified emotional competency, resiliency, leadership, communication, results orientation, and personnel development as skills that correlate with success in academic leadership. Formal courses and training in executive leadership and business management may be helpful in enhancing knowledge and skills in these disciplines.
Perioperative Tranexamic Acid Treatment and Risk of Cardiovascular Events or Death After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Dastrup Alexander , Pottegård Anton , Hallas Jesper , Overgaard Søren
Published: October 2018

Background:

There have been concerns that the antifibrinolytic drug tranexamic acid (TXA) might increase the postoperative risk of cardiovascular events. Our objective was to determine whether perioperative TXA use is associated with cardiovascular events and death within 30 days after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods:

We conducted a nationwide cohort study of cardiovascular outcomes after perioperative exposure to tranexamic acid during THA. We included 45,290 patients who had a THA in the study period of 2006 to 2013; 38,586 received perioperative TXA, and 6,704 did not. Propensity scores were calculated on the basis of age, sex, income, year of surgery, Elixhauser comorbidity index, and a variety of comorbidities and coprescribed medications. The primary outcome was venous thromboembolism. The secondary outcomes were deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and all-cause mortality. Data were analyzed using Cox regression, either in a multivariable model with inclusion of covariates (full cohorts) or in propensity-score-matched cohorts.

Results:

After propensity score matching, all prognostic covariates balanced well. In the matched cohort, TXA use was not found to significantly increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.18; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.83 to 1.68), deep vein thrombosis (HR = 1.15; CI = 0.78 to 1.68), pulmonary embolism (HR = 1.50; CI = 0.60 to 3.78), myocardial infarction (HR = 0.83; CI = 0.46 to 1.50), ischemic stroke (HR = 0.89; CI = 0.39 to 2.01), or all-cause mortality (HR = 0.73; CI = 0.41 to 1.28). Similar results were found in the multivariable Cox regression analyses.

Conclusions:

Our data do not support a detrimental effect of TXA on the risk of cardiovascular events or death following THA.

Readmission Rates for One Versus Two-Midnight Length of Stay for Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Charpentier P.M. , Srivastava A.K. , Zheng H. , Ostrander J.D. , Hughes R.E.
Published: October 2018

Background:

The length of stay (LOS) in the hospital for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been declining over recent decades. The purpose of this study was to determine if patients with an LOS for TKA that includes only 1 midnight have an increased odds of 90-day readmission compared with those with a 2-midnight LOS. We also sought to identify any predictors of 90-day hospital readmission among those readmitted during our period of analysis.

Methods:

A retrospective review of the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative (MARCQI) database was performed to identify patients with a 1-midnight or 2-midnight LOS for TKA during a 5-year period. The primary end point of this study was inpatient readmission within the 90-day postoperative period. A multiple logistic regression model and propensity score matching were used to compare the odds of 90-day readmission between 1-midnight and 2-midnight LOS. The secondary end points of this study were 90-day complications.

Results:

There were 96,250 TKA procedures identified in the database, and 46,709 met our inclusion criteria for LOS. No difference in 90-day-readmission odds between patients with a 1-midnight LOS and those with a 2-midnight LOS for primary TKA was identified. Male sex, single marital status, age of ≥80 years, type-I diabetes, previous smoking, narcotic use prior to surgery, and a higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores increased the odds of 90-day readmission. Patients in the age group of ≥50 to <65 years, those with a higher preoperative hemoglobin level, and those with a positive social history of alcohol use were found to have decreased odds of readmission.

Conclusions:

We found no association between the LOS for primary TKA (1 midnight compared with 2 midnights) and the 90-day readmission risk.

Published: October 2018

The prevalence of autism in the United States has been climbing for the last 3 decades, and this comes at a time when the medical community is poorly equipped to address the various needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Because busy orthopaedic surgery practices will invariably encounter more patients with ASD, they may want to develop pragmatic strategies and protocols that will promote a successful health-care interaction with these patients.
A Soldier with Chronic Lower Leg Pain Due to Muscle Herniation
Authors: Carius Brandon M. , Kamerath Joseph H.
Published: October 2018

A 28-year-old soldier presented with chronic right-lower-leg pain that had persisted for the past 18 months. Following previous primary care and specialty referrals, he had been diagnosed with atraumatic compartment syndrome. Prior lower-extremity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had been evaluated as normal. Subsequent physical examination revealed an appreciable soft-tissue depression, which became elevated after brief exercise. Ultrasonography confirmed this to be a previously undiagnosed fascial defect of the anterolateral compartment with tibialis anterior muscle herniation.
