Effect of thoracic and pelvic anteroposterior diameters on spinal sagittal alignment
Authors: Heo Jeong , Min Woo-Kie , Min Seung-Gi , Kim Kyung-Rok
Published: September 2019

Purpose:

This study aimed to analyze the effect of the thoracic anteroposterior diameter (TAPD) and pelvic anteroposterior diameter (PAPD) on global sagittal alignment in asymptomatic patients with normal sagittal alignment.

Patient sample:

The study investigated 2042 adult patients who initially presented at our hospital with a hip and knee problem without history of symptoms related to the entire spine. Only 57 patients with normal global sagittal alignment (C2–7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA) and C7–S1 SVA of <10 mm) were considered.

Methods:

The whole-spine standing lateral radiographs were obtained to analyze the following parameters: pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic inlet angle (TIA), T1 slope, cervical spinal parameters (angle of C0–2, C2–7, and C0–7), TAPD, and PAPD. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analyses.

Results:

All the parameters showed a normal distribution. TAPD had a significant relationship with thoracic kyphosis (TK; r = 0.458), TIA ( r = 0.677), and C0–2 angle ( r = 0.294) but no significant relationship with T1 slope and other cervical parameters. PAPD had a significant relationship with PI ( r = 0.309) and PT ( r = 0.463) but no significant relationship with LL, SS, and TK. The multiple regression analysis showed that TIA = 21.974 + 0.405 (TK) + 0.188 (TAPD) ( p < 0.0001).

Conclusions:

TAPD and PAPD are associated with TIA, TK, C0–2 angle, PI, and PT, all of which act as key factors in spinal sagittal alignment. Although they did not directly correlate with other cervical parameters, T1 slope, and LL, TAPD and PAPD might have indirect effects on cervical and lumbar spinal sagittal alignment through their relationships with TIA, TK, and PI.

Published: September 2019

Objetivo: por meio dessa revisão sistemática qualitativa, objetivamos esclarecer qual o papel atual do endoscopista no volvo colônico. Métodos: a pesquisa da literatura foi realizada via PUBMED on-line bancos de dados de janeiro de 2004 a maio de 2017 com os termos "Intestinal Volvulus"[MeSH], "Colonoscopy"[Majr] e adult [MeSH]. Resultados: inicialmente, as estratégias de pesquisa acima mencionadas resultaram em 23 referências. Depois, com base nos critérios de elegibilidade, foram excluídas 12 referências, e 11 foram incluídas. Conclusão: desde a introdução da distorção endoscópica na década de 1940, essa abordagem, juntamente com a ressecção subsequente, tornou-se a principal modalidade terapêutica. A descompressão endoscópica é aceita como o tratamento primário do volvo colônico, no entanto, se houver suspeita de gangrena ou perfuração, pacientes com volvo colônico devem ser submetidos à cirurgia de emergência.

Filaments and phenotypes: cellular roles and orphan effects associated with mutations in cytoplasmic intermediate filament proteins
Authors: Klymkowsky Michael W.
Published: September 2019

Cytoplasmic intermediate filaments (IFs) surround the nucleus and are often anchored at membrane sites to form effectively transcellular networks. Mutations in IF proteins (IFps) have revealed mechanical roles in epidermis, muscle, liver, and neurons. At the same time, there have been phenotypic surprises, illustrated by the ability to generate viable and fertile mice null for a number of IFp-encoding genes, including vimentin. Yet in humans, the vimentin (VIM) gene displays a high probability of intolerance to loss-of-function mutations, indicating an essential role. A number of subtle and not so subtle IF-associated phenotypes have been identified, often linked to mechanical or metabolic stresses, some of which have been found to be ameliorated by the over-expression of molecular chaperones, suggesting that such phenotypes arise from what might be termed “orphan” effects as opposed to the absence of the IF networkper se, an idea originally suggested by Toivolaet al. and Pekny and Lane.

Published: September 2019

During three summer months in 2015, the Cosmic Ray (CR) station Irkutsk-3000, located at 3000 m above sea level, measured the CR neutron component intensity with the 6NM64 neutron monitor, as well as the atmospheric electric field strength and the level of electromagnetic interference during lightning discharges. It is shown that the level of electromagnetic interference, when registered during lightning discharges, depends considerably on the fixed level of signal discrimination. During observations, we observed no effects of thunderstorm discharges at the neutron monitor count rate at the CR station Irkutsk-3000.
Problems of the Pc1 magnetospheric wave theory. A review
Authors: Гульельми Анатолий , Guglielmi Anatol , Потапов Александр , Potapov Alexander
Published: September 2019

The Pc1 ultralow-frequency electromagnetic waves (frequency range 0.2–5 Hz), also known as pearl necklace, are a unique phenomenon in near-Earth space physics. Many properties of pearls remain a mystery, despite the research of prominent cosmophysicists for more than half a century. In the proposed review, we briefly outline the main points of the so-called standard model, which is widely used to interpret Pc1. Next, we focus on the criticism of the standard model and on the identification of open problems in the Pc1 theory. The general conclusion is that it is necessary to develop new ideas outside the framework of the standard model in order to understand the processes of excitation and propagation of Pc1 waves in Earth’s magnetosphere.

Published: September 2019

A method for forecasting geomagnetic storms using the realization of the global survey method in real time is presented. The method is based on data from the worldwide network of neutron monitors NMDB. Using this method, we analyze the behavior of components of three-dimensional angular distribution of cosmic rays in the interplanetary medium, which were due to the first two spherical harmonics, over the period from 2013 to 2018. We have established that the main parameters that respond to the arrival of geoeffective disturbances of the interplanetary medium at Earth are changes in amplitudes of zonal (north-south) components of cosmic ray distribution. In order to select effective criteria for identifying predictors of geomagnetic disturbances and their possible temporal variations, we have made a retrospective analysis of the relationship between behaviors of the above components and geomagnetic disturbances occurring during the period of interest.
Studying the relationship of localization parameters of solar sources of magnetic clouds with their characteristics and substorm activity

Published: September 2019

We propose a method for determining location and orientation of extended solar sources of magnetic clouds, using coronagraph data and SOHO EIT/MDI images of the photosphere. To estimate the probability of formation of magnetic clouds, we use a simple cylindrical force-free model. We have established that more extended sources and those having a slight inclination to the solar equator and located on the solar limb as compared to those that are nonextended and strongly inclined can generate expanding clouds, which with high probability can reach the magnetosphere like clouds from a source near the zero meridian and low latitudes.

We determine the relationship between extreme values of substorm activity and parameters of solar sources under study during the impact of magnetic clouds on Earth’s magnetosphere from the AL index. We note that there are no substorms associated with extended sources outside the heliolatitude range ~5–20°. The established relationship between solar source coordinates and geomagnetic activity of the magnetic cloud sheath and body are consistent with the most probable distribution of magnetoactive regions over the solar disk.

This paper explores the applied use of the RUSCOSMICS software package [http://ruscosmics.ru] designed to simulate propagation of primary cosmic ray (CR) particles through Earth’s atmosphere and collect information about characteristics of their secondary component. We report the results obtained for proton fluxes with energy distributions corresponding to the differential spectra of galactic CR (GCR) and solar CR (SCR) during ground level enhancement (GLE) events GLE65 and GLE67. We examine features of the geometry of Earth’s atmosphere, parametrization methods, and describe a primary particle generator. The typical energy spectra of electrons obtained both for GCR and for GLE65 provide information that allows us to quantitatively estimate the SCR contribution to the enhancement of secondary CR fluxes. We also present altitude dependences of ionization rate for GCR and both the GLE events for several geomagnetic cutoff rigidity values. The conclusion summarizes and discusses the prospects for future research.

Conflict prevention and how to make conflict productive
Authors: Dale Louise
Published: September 2019

Conflict in the work place can take many forms and can have both positive and negative impacts on the team. It is imperative that a manager identifies the cause/type of conflict and puts in place the required measures to resolve any issues that may impact on the team's performance and lead to reduced job satisfaction.

This article discusses the potential causes of conflict that arise in the workplace such as competing for resources, differing styles, differing perception, conflicting goals, conflicting pressures, role overlap, differing personal values and unpredictable policies. Measures in order to mitigate any conflict are discussed along with techniques to resolve any conflict when it does occur. Such prevention measures focus on communication at the individual and team level and encourage input from all team members on how the team's goals are achieved.
Why integrate preventative behavioural advice and first aid into routine practice?
Authors: Hargrave Claire
Published: September 2019

As the first indicator of unwellness in companion animals is the behavioural change that leads to owners presenting their pets, there is an intrinsic and undeniable link between veterinary health/welfare and companion animal behaviour. Despite this, many practices are unable to offer a consistent level of evidence-based behavioural support to their clients. This article, considering why a veterinary practice should offer basic behavioural support for companion animals, forms the first of a series of articles that will go on to consider the specific preventative and first aid behavioural advice suitable for members of a range of species. Such advice should assist the veterinary team in offering an acceptable level of preventative and emergency behavioural support during routine encounters and consultations with clients.
The router bit extraction technique for removing a well-fixed humeral stem in revision shoulder arthroplasty
Authors: Kang Jason R. , Logli Anthony L. , Tagliero Adam J. , Sperling John W.
Published: September 2019

Aims

A number of methods have been described to remove a well-fixed humeral implant as part of revision shoulder arthroplasty. These include the use of cortical windows and humeral osteotomies. The router bit extraction technique uses a high-speed router bit to disrupt the bone-implant interface. The implant is then struck in a retrograde fashion with a square-tip impactor and mallet. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and frequency of the different techniques needed for the removal of a well-fixed humeral stem in revision shoulder arthroplasty.

Patients and Methods

Between 2010 and 2018, 288 revision shoulder arthroplasty procedures requiring removal of a well-fixed humeral component were carried out at a tertiary referral centre by a single surgeon. The patient demographics, indications for surgery, and method of extraction were collected.

Results

Of the 288 revisions, 284 humeral stems (98.6%) were removed using the router bit extraction technique alone. Four humeral stems (1.39%) required an additional cortical window. Humeral osteotomy was not necessary in any procedure. Most of the humeral stems removed (78.8%) were cementless. Of the four humeral stems that required a cortical window, three involved removal of a hemiarthroplasty. Two were cemented and two were cementless.

Conclusion

The router bit extraction technique removed a well-fixed humeral component in a very high proportion of patients (98.6%). This method allows surgeons to avoid more invasive approaches involving a cortical window or humeral osteotomy, and their associated complications.

Unlocking the Potential of State Level Data: Opportunities to Monitor Health and Related Outcomes in People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Authors: Bonardi Alexandra , Lauer Emily , Lulinski Amie , Fay Mary Lee , Morris Andrew , Nygren Margaret A. , Krahn Gloria
Published: September 2019

No single U.S. health surveillance system adequately describes the health of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Researchers and policy makers have sought to understand the potential of state and local administrative and survey data to produce a local as well as a national picture of the health of the population with IDD. Analyses of these secondary data sources have significant appeal because of the potential to derive new information without the burden and expense of new data collection. The authors examined the potential for data collected by states and territories to inform health surveillance in the population with IDD, including data from the administration of eligibility-based supports, health insurance claims, and surveys administered for monitoring and quality improvement. Although there are opportunities to align and harmonize datasets to enhance the available information, there is no simple path to use state and local data to assess and report on the health of the population with IDD. Recommendations for policy, practice, and research include the development and use of consistent operational definitions in data collection, and research to fill knowledge gaps.
A Systematic Review of U.S. Studies on the Prevalence of Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities Since 2000
Authors: Anderson Lynda Lahti , Larson Sheryl A. , MapelLentz Sarah , Hall-Lande Jennifer
Published: September 2019

This systematic review examined 14 U.S. studies published since 2000 reporting prevalence estimates for intellectual disability (ID) or developmental disability (DD). Prevalence rates for children were between 11.0 and 13.4 per 1,000 for ID and between 45.8 and 69.9 per 1,000 for DD using data from 2010 or later. A 2015 Ohio study of adults yielded a prevalence estimate of 41.0 per 1,000 for DD. The only study of ID in adults and the only study incorporating DD Act definitions used the 1994/1995 NHIS-D yielding prevalence estimates for ID and/or DD of 38.2 per 1,000 for children birth to 5 years, 31.7 for children 6 to 18 years, and 7.9 per 1,000 for adults. Notable differences in prevalence estimates by age and operational definition have important implications for public policy and research. Serious surveillance gaps limit our understanding of service utilization rates, unmet needs, and health and other outcomes for adults with ID or DD.

Background and Aim: Determining reference values for hematological and biochemical parameters of Asian house shrew (Suncus murinus) is important for wildlife research to protect human health in surrounding communities. This study aimed to establish the reference values for selected hematology and serum clinical chemistry analyses that may contribute to research on shrew in future.

Materials and Methods: Blood samples (n=51) were collected from shrews between July and December 2015, Bangladesh, to estimate the levels of hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), total leukocyte count (TLC), total erythrocyte count (TEC), lymphocyte, monocyte, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, calcium, phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), urea, glucose, total protein (TP), creatinine, and alanine transaminase (ALT).

Results: Although the values did not differ significantly among sexes, age was found to be a significant factor. Hb, PCV, TEC, glucose, and P were higher in males; eosinophil, Na, Cl, TP, and ALT were higher among females. Adults had significantly greater urea and glucose (p<0.05) while juveniles had insignificantly higher values for TLC, PCV, neutrophil, P, and TP.

Conclusion: This study provides the first reference values for this species in Bangladesh and can be used to guide wildlife research studies.

A retrospective analysis of 77 case histories was carried out in order to evaluate patients’ status in remote period after surgery and analyze the relapses of "inactivepituitary adenomas" (IPA) with consideration for electron microscopy findings. IPA in the analyzed patients was verified by histological, electron-microscopic, and immunohistochemical studies. The patients (39 men and 38 women) were observed for 6-16 years after surgery. Two patients presented with endosellar adenoma, the rest with endoextrasellar adenoma. Adenomectomies were performed through a transcranial access in 69 (90%) patients and through the transnasosphenoid access in 8 (10%). Computer tomographic monitoring in immediate periods after surgery was carried out only in 12% patients, and therefore a more common category "disease relapse" was used for analysis of tumor relapses. Cases when clinical symptoms progressed because of obvious growth of radically or partially removed tumor and repeated treatment (surgery or radiotherapy) was needed were considered as relapses. Relapses occurred in 38 (49%) patients (20 men and 18 women). The highest percentage of relapses occurred in the zero-cell adenoma group (58%), while oncocytomas and undifferentiated adenomas relapsed equally often (46 and 44%, respectively). The mean duration of clinical manifestation of a relapse was virtually the same in all groups (6.9 ± 3.6 years, or 1-16 years). Visual functions improved in 60% cases and pituitary functions normalized in 23%, but the number of patients with hypopituitarism increased by 38%. That is why patients with IPA should be regularly checked up after surgery, as 66% of them develop symptoms of pituitary in sufficiency in remote postoperative period.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a disease of the endocrine system caused by excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and is characterized by a pronounced violation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. More recently, in Russia, PHPT was detected extremely rarely and often hid under the mask of recurrent urolithiasis, generalized osteoporosis and other pathologies. As a result, patients did not receive adequate treatment, which in a certain percentage of cases led to the development of serious complications.The clinical cases of severe PHPT in postmenopausal women are presented in this article.
Adipose tissue as an endocrine organ
Authors: Shvarts V
Published: September 2019

The concept of adipose tissue as an inactive organ, which serves only for the accumulation and storage of energy substrates and triglycerides, has finally remained in the past. Studies of recent decades have shown that adipose tissue is very active in the metabolic aspect, and also produces many hormone-like substances, mediators, cytokines, chemokines that act at the local and systemic level, i.e., para- and endocrine. Regulatory substances produced in adipose tissue have received the general name adipokines or adipocytokines. Their study is the most actively developing area of ​​modern endocrinology. Adipokines made it possible to explain the pathophysiology of the long-known clinical phenomena of the close relationship between obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM), arteriosclerosis and insulin resistance. The list of adipokines produced in adipose tissue is very impressive and will undoubtedly be supplemented. By the beginning of 2008, the following adipokines were described: leptin, adiponectin, resistin, tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a), interleukin-6 (IL-6), visfatin, apelin, omentine, vaspin, retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP-4) and other factors, including lipoprotein lipase, apolipoprotein E, complement factors, tissue factor, plasminogen activation inhibitor-1 (IAP-1), proteins of the renin angiotensin system (RAS). In addition, adipocytes express chemokines such as MCP-1 and RANTES.This review schematically presents the basic physiological and pathophysiological actions of known adipokines.

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is regarded as a golden standard for surgical treatment of patients with adrenal pathology. Its advantages over the traditional surgery were shown by the experience and it explain commitment of surgeons to this method. However, implementation of this surgery is still discussible in some groups of the patients. Most relevant questions arouse about using laparoscopic technologies in patients with huge and malignant adrenal tumors. Objectively worse outcomes in these groups of patients and concerns about oncological results dictate need for future researches in this sphere. The article is devoted to the last achievements in adrenal surgery, connected with the implementation and wide spreading of laparoscopic operations. It covers most discussible in medical literature indications for such kind of surgery. Major attention is given to the modern concepts of indications and contraindications for laparoscopic procedures. A review of complications is done and we discuss ways of preventing them. Also, the article addresses to the role of endovascular embolization, in particular to the preoperative embolization, in complex treatment of patients with adrenal tumors.

O conceito de Infraestrutura de Dados Espaciais Marinhos (IDEM) tem conquistado espaço ao redor do globo representando o desenvolvimento da dimensão marinha em uma Infraestrutura de Dados Espaciais (IDE). Consiste basicamente, num conjunto de ações coordenadas envolvendo tecnologias, padrões, dados espaciais e pessoas interessadas na gerência e uso compartilhado de recursos e informações em prol do bem comum. Estas seguem apoiadas por diretivas nacionais e internacionais, em destaque aquelas emanadas no Brasil, pelo Plano de Ação para Implantação da INDE (CONCAR, 2010) e pela Norma de Acesso aos Dados e às Informações Abertas da Diretoria de Hidrografia e Navegação (DHN, 2018), bem como as orientações advindas da Organização Hidrográfica Internacional (OHI). As IDEM’s têm se mostrado uma eficiente ferramenta de gerenciamento das atividades humanas no tocante a utilização racional e de disponibilidade duradoura dos recursos ambientais, integrando assim iniciativas com vistas ao chamado “uso inteligente dos oceanos”. Assim, com base numa revisão bibliográfica e no uso de alguns exemplos, apresenta-se o relacionamento harmônico entre IDE’s e IDEM’s em escalas nacionais e regionais, destacando alguns dos potenciais benefícios e desafios de sua implantação e disponibilização para a comunidade marítima brasileira.
Potencialidades do PPP no Software Bernese com Compatibilizações de Sistemas Geodésicos de Referência e de Tempo

Published: September 2019

O Software Bernese GNSS (BSW) é um conjunto de pacotes de processamento de observáveis GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) de alto desempenho, que proporciona estimativas com alta acurácia, e flexibilidade em suas aplicações. Uma destas funcionalidades é a automatização de scripts que realizam o Posicionamento por Ponto Preciso (PPP). O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as potencialidades do PPP no BSW. Para alcançar esse propósito foram estimadas as coordenadas de 90 estações da RBMC (Rede Brasileira de Monitoramento Contínuo dos Sistemas GNSS) no BSW e no serviço IBGE-PPP online, referenciadas  a atual realização do International GNSS Service, o IGS14, na época dos dados. As coordenadas estimadas foram comparadas com as coordenadas de referência das estações (SIRGAS2000, época 2000,40), de três formas distintas: 1. Referenciais e épocas incompatíveis; 2. Compatibilização apenas dos referenciais; e 3. Referenciais e épocas compatíveis. As acurácias das coordenadas reduziram no processo de compatibilização de referenciais. Como esperado, o fator predominante na alteração das coordenadas planimétricas se refere à sua evolução temporal. Ademais, as acurácias planimétricas e altimétricas apresentaram estatísticas descritivas similares ao nível do milímetro, evidenciando a potencialidade do BSW no PPP.

O artigo apresenta a avaliação da qualidade do posicionamento obtido por sensores de localização acoplados em smartphones, abordando o seu desempenho para a coleta de Informações Geográficas Voluntárias (VGI). Os experimentos foram realizados na forma de estudo de caso, em que as coordenadas coletadas em um aplicativo VGI (Hidromapp) foram comparadas com seus respectivos homólogos de referência. As amostras foram coletadas em condições distintas, utilizando 05 smartphones com características e configurações diferentes. Com base nas discrepâncias, a acurácia posicional foi calculada para cada uma das amostras através do indicador estatístico RMSE, incluindo a análise de diferentes fatores observados no experimento. Em seguida, a qualidade do posicionamento foi avaliada na perspectiva da destinação final dos dados (fitness-for-purpose), sendo observado se a acurácia posicional calculada atende aos propósitos do aplicativo Hidromapp. Foi identificado que smartphones possibilitam a realização de levantamentos com acurácia posicional planimétrica entre 5m e 20m (faixa segura observada), dependendo das condições de levantamento, e das características e configurações dos dispositivos utilizados. Para o aplicativo Hidromapp, que visa fornecer dados observados de suporte para modelos hidrodinâmicos e simulação de inundações, o desempenho dos smartphones foi considerado satisfatório de acordo com o parecer dos pesquisadores consultados.

Published: September 2019

Considerable efforts have been made to fight corruption, however it continues to occur in Indonesia. In the present time, corruptions do not only carry out by individuals but also by corporations. However, the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code do not recognize and regulate corporations as the subject of criminal acts, so that law enforcement officials, especially prosecutors, have difficulty in charging corporations. This paper tries to answer question about the role of prosecutors in the eradication of corruption by corporation based on The General Attorney Regulation Number: PER-028/A/JA/10/2014 on guidelines for prosecuting corporation. The research method employed is normative juridical method, where the data is analyzed with qualitative methodology. The General Attorney Regulation on Corporate Legal Subjects explains more apparent criteria for actions that can be attributed to the corporation. The regulation combines several theories of corporate criminal liability not only heavily rely on vicarious criminal liability theory. It also provides direction about the separation of corporate liability and director’s liability. With this guideline, the public prosecutors have clearer direction to be able to charge the corporation so that it can restore the state finances that have been harmed by the corruption act.
