Authors: Elitok Bülent
Published: February 2020

In this study, 20 Albino mice of the same daily age were used. All the animals were restrained in well-ventilated 50 ml tubes (plus 3 or 4 cm long middle tubes), which were slipped over the tail to restrict movement even more and left undisturbed under an opaque duration of the stress (30 min). After stress procedure was applied in all animals, 20 mice which have same alive weight average and constitute the study material were divided into two groups as control group (CG) (n=10) and study groups (SG) (n=10) for a 21-day treatment period equally and randomly. Normal tap water was added to the CG mice’ drinkers, while the hot spring water that was brought from the source each day as fresh added to SG mice’ drinkers and they were allowed to reach ad libitum. Clinical, hematological and blood biochemical parameters were measures on 1, 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment in all the animals. The results of this study showed that cortisol and glucose levels decreased in stressed mice treated with Süreyya I Hot Spring Water, while ALB, TP, T3 and T4 levels increased and these changes were statistically significant plessthan0.06) when compared to the control group.

Published: February 2020

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), causative agent of Johne’s disease (JD) is chronic granulomatous enteritis affecting domestic and wild ruminants. Since, MAP is not killed by pasteurization, it has been isolated from commercially pasteurized milk and milk products resulting exposure of human population to this pathogen through milk. Control and eradication of JD is considered difficult because of its insidious nature and lack of early, rapid and accurate diagnostic tests. Therefore in present study, a visual loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay method has been developed using a total of six primers including 2 outer (F3 and B3), 2 inner (FIP and BIP) and 2 loop (LF and LB) primers specific for MAP for the first time on ‘S 5’ strain of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis ‘Indian Bison type’ biotype. After laboratory standardization, final optimized reaction performed at 65°C for 45 min was achieved after titration of incubation time, temperature conditions and the reporter dye calcein. Sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP assay was optimized and compared with traditional IS900 PCR. The sensitivity of LAMP assay was found to detect 10fg (100%) of DNA and 95.7% specificity was recorded with respect to traditional IS900 PCR. Comparison showed that LAMP had 98.6% and 96.1% sensitivity and specificity of 96.1% and 92.3%, with respect to microscopy and culture exhibiting ‘Almost perfect’ strength of agreement. The study concluded that LAMP assay was a reliable and sensitive diagnostic test to detect MAP infection in feces and can also be used for the ‘mass screening’ of the milk samples with the help of less expertise.

Published: February 2020

In India buffaloes are reared for milk, meat and draft purposes. The economic importance of buffalo rearing in Nagpur is more than cow and contribute major share to the milk production of the district. Apart from its zoonotic implications; Leptospirosis is one of the major causes of abortion, still births, infertility, repeat breeding, decreased milk production, mastitis in ruminants. Considering its endemic nature in India, the present study is aimed at estimating the prevalence of leptospirosis in buffaloes and to establish the possible route of transmission through related canine, rodent and environment. A total of 621(299 each blood and sera and 23 urine) samples collected from 196 apparently healthy and 103 clinically suspected buffaloes and blood samples of 21 stray dogs along with 27 environmental samples were subjected to PCR targeting sec Y gene (202bp) and 16SrRNA gene (331bp).A total of 92 samples including 53 blood samples (buffalo= 45, rodent= 5, canine= 3), 30 buffalo sera samples, four urine samples (buffalo=2 and canine=2) and five environmental samples comprising of 3 water and 2 feed, were processed for isolation of Leptospira in the EMJH medium. Out of 196 blood samples of apparently healthy buffaloes a total of 27 (13.77%) animals were found positive for 16S rRNA gene and 3(1.53%) for sec Y gene. Similarly, 17.47% (18/103) animals were positive for 16S rRNA gene while 7(6.79%) for sec Y gene. A total of 30 (15.30%) apparently healthy animals were positive for either 16SrRNA gene or secY gene. Whereas 25(24.27%) samples from suspected animals were positive for either of the gene. All the urine samples from buffaloes, dogs and environmental samples were negative for presence of both the genes. All the samples processed for isolation of organism turned negative. The accurate and rapid diagnosis of leptospirosis is important and beneficial for surveillance and investigation of transmission dynamics of the disease. Even though the active infection can be readily diagnosed through blood samples it is essential to screen each sample by various tests for proper understandings about the disease distribution.

The study was conducted to assess the effect of age and season on seminal traits of pure HF bulls under tropical condition. A total of 30 HF bulls of age group up to 3, 4-5, 6-7, 8 and above 8 years were selected and divided into 3 seasons viz rainy, summer and winter. The breeding bulls were kept under intensive system of rearing as per MSP guidelines of India. Semen was collected, evaluated and data analyzed by using standard procedures. The overall production and all the seminal traits viz volume, initial motility and post thaw motility was found to be better in summer season as compare to rainy and winter season. However, there was no significant change in concentration due to season. Among all the age groups, 8 years and above were found to produce highest volume, post thaw motility and eventually more production. Highest percentage of initial motility was recorded among the youngest group of bulls and concentration was significantly (plessthan0.01) high in the age group 6-7years followed by 8 and above 8 years of age. The study revealed that age and season have highly significant (plessthan0.01) effect on all the seminal traits and production.

Published: February 2020

Sugar industry is important to Fiji’s economy as it contributes 1.1% of GDP. Sugarcane is cultivated as an intensive mono-cropping in Fiji, inorganic fertilizer and herbicides were commonly used. This survey was conducted to evaluate the present status of herbicide and inorganic fertilizer application to sugarcane and assessed the farmer’s knowledge and perceptions. As well, this survey evaluated present socioeconomic status of sugarcane farmers. Results revealed that average Fiji sugarcane farm land size was 11.5 acers (4.6 hectares). Diuron (800-900g/kg Diuron), Amine (720g/L 2,4-D Dimethyl Amine Salt) and Glyphosate (Glyphosate isopropyl amine salts) were the most popular herbicide. The 30% of farmers used Glyphosate together with Amine and Diuron. Most farmer (>80%) were aware about correct application dosage and 81% of farmers use protective equipment during application. Labasa sugarcane farmers used more herbicide and chemical fertilizer than other areas. Most sugarcane farmlands become infertile due long-term use for intensive mono-cropping. At present most farmers heavily depend on inorganic fertilizer. Almost all farmers who participated to this survey aware of environment and health effect of herbicide and chemical fertilizer. The 78% farmers pass 40 years’ age and most of them were not happy about sugarcane farming due its less profit in comparison to past. Therefore, currently, very few selected farmers are farming sugarcane as their livelihood profession.

Published: February 2020

The genome groups of 34 wild and cultivated banana samples collected from 9 districts of Manipur, India were analyzed using IRAP and RAPD. IRAP-PCR analysis of the banana genome revealed that 32 out of 34 banana samples have shown presence of multiple polymorphic bands in amplified products. There were 5 genome specific bands (2 for B genome and 3 for A genome) in all the samples analyzed by using IRAP marker. Analysis of A and B genome among plant samples using RAPD-PCR generated a total of 1425 polymorphic bands by six primers (OPF-6, OPX-6, OPK-12, RAPD-6, RAPD-14 and RAPD-17). The highest number of bands was generated by OPK12 (318) followed by RAPD6 (308 bands), OPX6 (263 bands), RAPD 17 (215 bands), RAPD 14 (165 bands) and OPF6 (156 bands) respectively. Among these primers, RAPD 14 displayed specific bands per sample thereby showing higher delineating power than other primers.

A Study on the development of an Testing Experiments model has been carried out which aims to improve the scientific abilities of students in the Physics Department. This study is motivated by the implementation of practicum that has almost no innovation, no change, always verifying patterned and less developing students' science process skills. The 4-D model R&D approach was used to develop this practicum model. The instrument used is a handout that is equipped with a rubric as a practical guide and assessment guide. A total of 20 students were involved as research subjects. The results showed in general there was an increase in student scientific abilities. Of all the sub-abilities developed, the average percentage of achievement scores reached 60% in almost all sub-abilities after the 4th or 5th practicum or at the fourth or fifth week. However, there are sub-skills already reaching 60% in the 3rd practicum. Student and peer responses show that this practical model is better and more comprehensive in developing students' scientific abilities.

Published: February 2020

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of grain size on seedling root architecture. Ten different breadwheat cultivars were selected to examine the effect of grain size on primary root traits under controlled conditions. Seminalroot traits were tested with germination papers at the growth stage 1. Significant differences between seminal root number,total seminal root length, longest root length, and root growth angle were observed among 10 cultivars. The seminal rootnumber per plant was found to be 3.93 in the large, 3.71 in the medium and 3.20 in the small grain groups. Similar rankingsin the seminal root length were observed, while root growth angle did not follow the same trend. The study suggested that thecultivar Atay 85 with superior primary root traits can be an advantage, especially in regions where plants achieve an advantageat a deep soil water level, under water stress at early growth stages.

Published: February 2020

The breast milk is the best food for babies right for infancy up to 6 months. Breast milk not only benefits the baby, but also brought benefits the mother. Globally, only 38% of infants aged 0 - 6 months are exclusively breastfed. The latest analysis of non-exclusive breastfeeding contributes to 11.6% of deaths in children under 5 years of age. This is equivalent to around 804,000 child deaths in 2011 (WHO, 2012).  This research was conducted to analyze the social determinant factors that affect the failure of Exclusive Breast Feeding in Sraturejo, Baureno , Bojonegoro City. This research was an observational analytic study with a quantitative approach. The research was a cross sectional design. The research was conducted in Sraturejo Village, Baureno, Bojonegoro from 3 July to 9 August 2018. The population were 150 mothers who had children aged 0-24 months. The sample is calculated using the simple random sampling formula which resulted to 110 mothers who have babies 0-24 months of age. The data collection technique used primary data, by filling out the questionnaires of knowledges, attitudes, and behaviors. Then the priority of the problem will be determined using the USG matrix, which the proceeded with finding the cause of the problem with the metaplan technique and a fishbone diagram to identify the root causes of a problem. Then the analysis is conducted with the SWOT method. The results showed no corelation between knowledge and behavior, and there was no corelation between attitude and behavior. Other social determinants discovered are information, methods, economics, environment, individuals, and health. The social determinant factors that most affected the failure of exclusive breastfeeding are economic factors, such as working mothers. The conclusion is that working mothers affected the failure of exclusive breastfeeding.
Phase Transitions in Virology
Authors: Sole Ricard , Sardanyes Josep , Elena Santiago F.
Published: February 2020

Viruses have established symbiotic relationships with almost every other living organism on Earth and at all levels of biological organization, from other viruses up to entire ecosystems. In most cases, peacefully coexisting with their hosts, but in most relevant cases, parasitizing them and inducing diseases. Viruses are playing an essential role in shaping the eco-evolutionary dynamics of their hosts, and also have been involved in some of the major evolutionary innovations either by working as vectors of genetic information or by being themselves coopted by the host into their genomes. Viruses can be studied at different levels of biological organization, from the molecular mechanisms of genome replication, gene expression and encapsidation to global pandemics. All these levels are different and yet connected through the presence of threshold conditions allowing for the formation of a capsid, the loss of genetic information or epidemic spreading. These thresholds, as it occurs with temperatures separating phases in a liquid, define sharp qualitative types of behaviour. These {\em phase transitions} are very well known in physics. They have been studied by means of simple, but powerful models able to capture their essential properties, allowing to understand them. Can the physics of phase transitions be an inspiration for our understanding of viral dynamics at different scales? Here we review the best-known examples of transition phenomena in virology and their simplest mathematical modelling approaches. We suggest that the advantages of abstract, simplified pictures used in physics are also the key to properly understand the origins and evolution of complexity in viruses. By means of several examples, we explore this multilevel landscape and how minimal models provide deep insights into a diverse array of problems. The relevance of these transitions in connecting dynamical patterns across levels and their evolutionary and clinical implications are outlined.

Este texto materializa um conjunto de reflexões decorrentes do processo de investigação, estudos e discussões que tem o imaginário criativo e a formação de pessoas criadoras na perspectiva histórico-cultural, como objeto principal. Nos parâmetros deste artigo, nos limitamos a contribuir para o debate da temática em tela, trazendo alguns elementos da base teórica do materialismo histórico-dialético, fundamento da teoria histórico-cultural, mais especificamente a categoria de trabalho social em Marx, como parte da atividade vital constitutiva do gênero e a tese vigotskiana sobre a origem cultural das funções superiores de pensamento, incluídas a imaginação e a criação neste escopo, para, a partir daí, articulando alguns pressupostos de Vigotski sobre imaginação e criação, tecer considerações que ajudem a construir tempos e espaços escolares focados no desenvolvimento humano tal como concebido pela psicologia marxista. Sem pretender dar conta da complexidade inerente ao tema, a intenção é que, somado a outros estudos e contribuições, este texto seja mais um provocador de novas imagens e criações sobre a formação de pessoas criadoras como tarefa da educação escolar.
The emerging of a gender discourse in education: the differences in the school space
Authors: Rios Pedro Paulo Souza , Lucas Vieira André Ricardo
Published: February 2020

The present study sought to reflect on issues of gender, sexuality and sexual diversity in school, based on a bibliographic review, considering the recurrence of such discussions in the pedagogical practice in the 21st century. In order to understand the intrinsic relationship between education and sexuality, we guided this reflection in Foucault's studies (1984; 1995), Louro (1997; 1999; 2003; 2004), Butler (1999; 2002; 2003), as well as documents such as The National Curriculum Parameters - PCN's and the National Common Curriculum Base – BNCC, because we understand that the school plays a major role in the construction of knowledge. Thus, discussing new policies for the inclusion of gender differences and sexual diversity requires, on the part of the educators, to experience new forms of language use that can produce resistance to sexist or homophobic patterns. Including studies on gender, sexuality and diversity in the school curriculum is an inclusive pedagogical practice and respect for differences.

A Universidade, o Fórum de Ciência e Técnica e o Desenvolvimento Local Sustentável em Cuba
Authors: Garcia Santos Nelson Afonso , Theis Ivo Marcos
Published: February 2020

Nesta contribuição sobre os 60 anos da Revolução Cubana, examina-se a contribuição da universidade (com sua ciência, tecnologia e inovação) e do Fórum de Ciência e Técnica para o “desenvolvimento local sustentável” cubano. Os dados aqui mobilizados resultam de entrevistas realizadas com profissionais cubanos, em julho de 2017, e também, de material bibliográfico obtido a partir dos contatos então estabelecidos. Verifica-se que a universidade cubana passou, ao longo dessas seis décadas, por importantes mudanças: a produção de conhecimento, antes preponderantemente voltada para o mercado, para a tecnologia de ponta e para a exportação, passou a ser orientada para a solução dos problemas concretos e básicos da população. Essa realidade se expressa nos exemplos exitosos da relação entre universidade e desenvolvimento local. As inovações se apoiam na (e promovem a) investigação científica, facilitando os fluxos de conhecimento e a geração e disseminação de tecnologias alternativas. Neste contexto, ganha destaque a experiência do Fórum de Ciência e Técnica, uma especificidade do processo cubano de desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico. Ela indica a relevância da democratização da construção de novas tecnologias – que contrasta significativamente com as tecnologias convencionais capitalistas, assim mantendo acesa a chama dos ideais socialistas.

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir o fenômeno da desconexão em Cuba (RECIO, 2013) a partir da apresentação do cenário de desenvolvimento das tecnologias na Ilha desde o início da Revolução de 1959 (ALFONSO, 1993) até o início de 2019. Abordamos a concepção de tecnologias propriamente cubanas (PRESS, 2011; URRA, 2011), a absorção das “novas tecnologias” pela sociedade, além de apresentar uma série de táticas cubanas que foram desenvolvidas na tentativa de superar a precariedade da infraestrutura de rede no território, driblando as limitações materiais geradas pelo embargo imposto contra a Ilha pelos Estados Unidos desde o início dos anos 1960 (BRITO, 2019). Apresentamos assim, a evolução dos setores formal e informal de telecomunicações em Cuba durante a chamada Atualização do Socialismo Cubano (HABEL, 2009) e do processo de restabelecimento das relações bilaterais entre Cuba e Estados Unidos, com especial foco na polêmica aproximação do Google, considerado neste artigo um ator geopolítico dos Estados Unidos, devido as suas relações com o Departamento de Estado dos EUA durante a gestão de Barack Obama (ASSANGE, 2014). Encerramos com uma linha do tempo das ações da empresa em Cuba e uma análise de sua atuação durante os primeiros anos dos governos de Miguel Díaz-Canel e Donald Trump.
Low Preoperative Albumin Levels Predict Adverse Outcomes After Total Joint Arthroplasty
Authors: Kishawi Deena , Schwarzman Garrett , Mejia Alfonso , Hussain Awais K. , Gonzalez Mark H.
Published: February 2020

Background:

Low albumin levels have previously been shown to be a risk factor for increased complications in the 30-day postoperative period after total hip or knee arthroplasty. In this study, we examined the effect that albumin levels have on complications in all total joint primary arthroplasties or revisions (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and fingers).

Methods:

Patients who underwent a primary total joint arthroplasty or revision from 2005 to 2015 and who had preoperative serum albumin concentration levels recorded were identified from the U.S. National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. Patients were grouped into those with normal serum albumin concentrations (≥3.5 g/dL) and those who were hypoalbuminemic (<3.5 g/dL); hypoalbuminemia was subdivided into quartiles for statistical analysis. Univariate analyses were conducted with use of the Student t test for categorical outcomes and the chi-square test for continuous variables. Following univariate analysis, all significant comorbidity variables for both the primary and revision arthroplasty groups were used in a multivariate regression analysis to determine independent association of hypoalbuminemia and postoperative outcomes.

Results:

Using available data from 2005 to 2015, 135,008 patients fit the eligibility criteria, including those who had undergone primary arthroplasty (n = 125,162) and those who had undergone revision arthroplasty (n = 9,846). The revision arthroplasties included the shoulder (2%), hip (46%), and knee (52%), and the primary arthroplasties included the shoulder (3%), hip (39%), knee (57%), and other (1%). We found that patients who had lower albumin levels had a greater rate of postoperative complications including cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, organ or space surgical site infection, sepsis, septic shock, pneumonia, renal insufficiency in general, unplanned intubation, return to the operating room within 30 days, urinary tract infection, and wound infection (all p < 0.005).

Conclusions:

There was a significant difference in 30-day postoperative complications between patients with normal preoperative albumin levels and those with low albumin levels after all primary total joint arthroplasties or revisions. Patients with low albumin levels were at significantly increased risk for infection, pneumonia, sepsis, myocardial infarction, and other adverse outcomes. Further research is needed to develop interventions to improve serum albumin concentrations preoperatively to mitigate adverse outcomes.

Weight-Bearing CT Scan After Tibial Pilon Fracture Demonstrates Significant Early Joint-Space Narrowing
Authors: Willey Michael C. , Compton Jocelyn T. , Marsh J. Lawrence , Kleweno Conor P. , Agel Julie , Scott Elizabeth J. , Bui Gabrielle , Davison John , Anderson Donald D.
Published: February 2020

Background:

Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a common and early sequela of tibial pilon fractures resulting in substantial long-term disability. New approaches are needed to objectively and reliably quantify early disease progression in order to critically assess the impact of interventions aimed at preventing or mitigating PTOA. Weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) scans provide a means for measuring joint space while the ankle is in a loaded, functional position. We assessed the interrater and intrarater reliability of a standardized, regional method to quantify joint-space loss following tibial pilon fracture compared with the uninjured contralateral ankle.

Methods:

We prospectively enrolled 20 patients with intra-articular tibial pilon fractures that were surgically treated at 1 of 2 level-I trauma centers. Six months after injury, bilateral ankle WBCT scans were obtained. Joint space was measured by 4 reviewers at 9 discrete regions of the tibiotalar articulation on sagittal images. Measurements were repeated by reviewers 2 weeks later. To characterize the measurement method, interrater correlation coefficient estimates and test-retest reproducibility were calculated.

Results:

The mean tibiotalar joint space was 21% less in the injured ankles compared with the contralateral uninjured ankles (p < 0.0001). The middle-lateral and middle-central regions of the joint demonstrated the greatest decrease in joint space between injured and uninured ankles. The interrater correlation coefficient of the measurement technique was 0.88, and the test-retest reproducibility was 0.80, indicating good reliability and reproducibility of the method.

Conclusions:

We developed a simple, standardized, and reliable technique to quantify tibiotalar joint space following tibial pilon fracture on WBCT. Significant loss of joint space is seen 6 months after the injury. This tool can be used to longitudinally quantify loss of joint space following pilon fracture and assess the impact of interventions to reduce PTOA.
Compensatory Motion of the Subtalar Joint Following Tibiotalar Arthrodesis
Authors: Lenz Amy L. , Nichols Jennifer A. , Roach Koren E. , Foreman K. Bo , Barg Alexej , Saltzman Charles L. , Anderson Andrew E.
Published: February 2020

Background:

Tibiotalar arthrodesis is a common treatment for end-stage tibiotalar osteoarthritis, and is associated with a long-term risk of concomitant subtalar osteoarthritis. It has been clinically hypothesized that subtalar osteoarthritis following tibiotalar arthrodesis is the product of compensatory subtalar joint hypermobility. However, in vivo measurements of subtalar joint motion following tibiotalar arthrodesis have not been quantified. Using dual-fluoroscopy motion capture, we tested the hypothesis that the subtalar joint of the limb with a tibiotalar arthrodesis would demonstrate differences in kinematics and increased range of motion compared with the subtalar joint of the contralateral, asymptomatic, untreated ankle.

Methods:

Ten asymptomatic patients who had undergone unilateral tibiotalar arthrodesis at a mean (and standard deviation) of 4.0 ± 1.8 years previously were evaluated during overground walking and a double heel-rise task. The evaluation involved markerless tracking with use of dual fluoroscopy integrated with 3-dimensional computed tomography, which allowed for dynamic measurements of subtalar and tibiotalar dorsiflexion-plantar flexion, inversion-eversion, and internal-external rotation. Range of motion, stance time, swing time, step length, and step width were also measured.

Results:

During the early stance phase of walking, the subtalar joint of the limb that had been treated with arthrodesis was plantar flexed (−4.7° ± 3.3°), whereas the subtalar joint of the untreated limb was dorsiflexed (4.6° ± 2.2°). Also, during the early stance phase of walking, eversion of the subtalar joint of the surgically treated limb (0.2° ± 2.3°) was less than that of the untreated limb (4.5° ± 3.2°). During double heel-rise, the treated limb exhibited increased peak subtalar plantar flexion (−7.1° ± 4.1°) compared with the untreated limb (0.2° ± 1.8°).

Conclusions:

A significant increase in subtalar joint plantar flexion was found to be a primary compensation during overground walking and a double heel-rise activity following tibiotalar arthrodesis.

Clinical Relevance:

Significant subtalar joint plantar flexion compensations appear to occur following tibiotalar arthrodesis. We found an increase in subtalar plantar flexion and considered the potential relationship of this finding with the increased rate of subtalar osteoarthritis that occurs following ankle arthrodesis.

Authors: Newton Peter O. , Bartley Carrie E. , Bastrom Tracey P. , Kluck Dylan G. , Saito Wataru , Yaszay Burt
Published: February 2020

Background:

Anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) has been introduced as a means of correcting scoliosis without fusion. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes for patients with thoracic idiopathic scoliosis between a group of patients who underwent AVBT and a matched cohort of patients treated with posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation (PSF).

Methods:

A retrospective study of patients who underwent AVBT and PSF for idiopathic scoliosis was conducted. The inclusion criteria were determined on the basis of the AVBT cohort: primary thoracic idiopathic scoliosis with a curve magnitude between 40° and 67°, Risser stage of ≤1, age of 9 to 15 years, no prior spine surgery, index surgery between 2011 and 2016, and minimum follow-up of 2 years. Demographic, radiographic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes and revisions were compared between groups.

Results:

There were 23 patients in the AVBT cohort and 26 patients in the PSF cohort. The mean follow-up (and standard deviation) was similar between groups: 3.4 ± 1.1 years for the AVBT group and 3.6 ± 1.6 years for the PSF group (p = 0.6). Preoperatively, the groups were similar in all measurements of radiographic and clinical deformity, with mean main thoracic curves of 53° ± 8° for the AVBT group and 54° ± 7° for the PSF group (p = 0.4). At the time of final follow-up, the AVBT cohort had significantly more residual deformity, with a mean thoracic curve of 33° ± 18° compared with 16° ± 6° for the PSF group (p < 0.001). There were 9 revision procedures in the AVBT cohort (with 3 conversions to PSF and 3 more pending) and none in the PSF cohort. Revisions occurred at a mean postoperative time of 2.3 years (range, 1.2 to 3.7 years). Twelve patients (52%) had evidence of broken tethers; of these patients, 4 underwent revision. The post-intervention patient-reported outcomes were similar.

Conclusions:

Both AVBT and PSF resulted in postoperative correction; however, 2-year correction was better maintained in the PSF group. There were no differences in post-intervention patient-reported outcomes. AVBT resulted in less deformity correction and more revision procedures than PSF, but resulted in the delay or prevention of PSF in the majority of patients.

Update

This article was updated on September 1, 2020, because of a previous error.

An erratum (JBJS Case Connect. 2020;10[3]:e19.00324ER) has been published for this article.

Case:

A 60-year-old man presented with left hip pain, and a radiograph showed reduced joint space. During the surgical procedure for a total hip replacement, a proximal femur mass was identified and biopsy was subsequently interpreted as grade 2 chondrosarcoma. A wide resection was needed, but he developed local recurrence after 2 years and was treated with an external hemipelvectomy.

Conclusions:

Chondrosarcoma does not always present with a classical clinical picture or imaging, and it can be misdiagnosed. Practitioners should be highly suspicious of malignant disease as a cause for hip pain even if there is no direct indication of a neoplasm such as chondrosarcoma.

AbstractIndonesia is one of the countries endowed with abundant marine resources. Based on LIPI data in 2019, Indonesia's marine potential reaches Rp. 1772 trillion. In addition, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries data report reveals that fisheries production and GDP from 2017-2018 shows increasing numbers. The high potential of this fishery brings us to a big question, what is the current condition of the fishermen's economy. In 2015 the Central Statistics Agency released data that 25% of Indonesia's poor population work as fishermen. One of the things that causes fishermen poverty is the existence of an unfair sharing system between ABK fishermen and boat owner fishermen. Of course, this phenomenon requires a solution, one of which is a fishing boat procurement project based on humanity, which is professionally managed, sustainable and can be a productive asset for Muslims. Besides that, in implementing the ship procurement project, funding support is needed, one of which is cash waqf which is collaborated with financial technology to raise cash waqf funds from the community. Therefore, the authors initiated the Jatsyiah Financing System (JAFIS). JAFIS is a crowdfunding donation based platform that collects cash waqf funds from the community, to be further utilized to implement the procurement project for fisherman-based fishing vessels. The main vision of JAFIS is "Improving Special Forces Fishermen Through Procurement of Fishermen-Based Fishing Vessels". JAFIS consists of six main features including: Jatsyiah project, Jatsyiah assets, Jatsyiah operational project, Jatsyiah mudharabah system, Jatsyiah financial and audit reporting, and Jatsyiah going concern. The purpose of writing this scientific paper is to design a grand design of JAFIS. The writing method uses a qualitative approach with secondary data. It is hoped that the existence of JAFIS can improve the economic welfare of ABK fishermen in Indonesia.Keywords: JAFIS, Economic Welfare, ABK Fishermen
