Transsacral interbody fixation versus transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion at the lumbosacral junction for long fusions in primary adult scoliosis
Authors: Yi Hong-Lei , Faloon Michael , Changoor Stuart , Ross Thomas , Boachie-Adjei Oheneba
Published: February 2020

OBJECTIVE

Achieving fusion at the lumbosacral junction poses many technical challenges. No data exist in the literature comparing radiographic or clinical outcomes between the different surgical techniques of transsacral fixation (TSF) with rods and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in conjunction with iliac fixation. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes and radiographic fusions of TSF to TLIF in patients with adult spinal deformity undergoing long fusions across the lumbosacral junction.

METHODS

Patients with primary adult spinal deformity who underwent long fusions from the thoracic spine across the lumbosacral junction with different approaches of interbody fusion at the L5–S1 level were reviewed. Patients were subdivided by approach (TSF vs TLIF). Fusion status at L5–S1 was evaluated by multiple radiographs and/or CT scans. Scoliotic curve changes were also evaluated preoperatively and at final follow-up. Clinical outcomes were assessed by Scoliosis Research Society Outcome Instrument 22 and Oswestry Disability Index scores.

RESULTS

A total of 36 patients were included in the analysis. There were 18 patients in the TSF group and 18 patients in the TLIF group. A mean of 14.00 levels were fused in the TSF group and 10.94 in the TLIF group (p = 0.01). Both groups demonstrated significant postoperative radiographic improvement in coronal parameters. The fusion rates for TSF and TLIF groups were 100% and 88.9%, respectively (p < 0.05). Eight patients in the TSF group had pelvic fixation with unilateral iliac screws, compared to 15 patients in the TLIF group (p = 0.015). No statistical differences in patients’ reported outcomes were seen between groups.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite similar clinical and radiographic outcomes between both groups, TSF required fewer iliac screws to augment stability of the lumbosacral junction while achieving a higher rate of fusion. This study suggests that TSF may decrease potential instrument-related complications requiring revision while decreasing operating room time and implant-related costs.
Endangered, Invasive, Pet, Commodity: Gecko Circulations and Value Transformation in the Western Indian Ocean
Authors: Krieg Lisa Jenny
Published: February 2020

Day geckos of the genus Phelsuma are small green lizards, originating in the Western Indian Ocean. As curious and cosmopolitan animals, they were and are involved in flows of translocal circulation, intertwining human and nonhuman agency in shaping their environments in significant ways – despite their obvious smallness. Transforming from scientific specimen into species, into terrarium pet, and then further into either endangered and invasive species, Phelsuma geckos co-create living rooms, taxonomic collections, island gardens and nature reserves, particularly between Europe and the islands of the Western Indian Ocean. Their value, as this article demonstrates, constantly transforms as they move between places. I will explore how the ‘world-making’ of scientists, tourists, traders, and curious geckos is entangled in these circulations that contribute to environmen- tal destruction and protection. Differences and transformations in the nature of value, and the value of nature along the paths on which species circulate, I argue, are important as product and shaping-power of local and global world-making projects.

Published: February 2020

Montezuma quail (Cyrtonyx montezumae) occur throughout the desert mountain ranges in the Trans-Pecos of Texas as well as Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico. Limited information on life history and ecology of the species is available due to the cryptic nature of the bird. Home range, movements, and preferred habitats have been speculated upon in previous literature with the use of observational or anecdotal data. We used innovative trapping techniques and technologically advanced radio transmitters to assess these ecological parameters for Montezuma quail. The goal of this study was to monitor Montezuma quail to determine home range size, movements, and habitat preference for the Davis Mountains population. We captured a total of 72 birds over the course of two years (2009 – 2010) (36M, 35F, 1 Undetermined). Thirteen individuals with >25 locations/bird were used to estimate the home range, movement, and habitat selection analyses. Home ranges (95% kernel density estimators) averaged 12.83 ha and varied greatly (0.02 – 43.29 ha). Maximum straight-line distances between known locations within home ranges varied from 0.73 – 14.83 km. Distances of movements were greater than previously reported. Preferred habitats consisted of Canyon Mountain Savannah and Foothill Slope Mountain Savannah across three spatial scales. Although our study was able to address some basic ecological attributes of Montezuma quail, additional research is warranted to better understand their population dynamics.

Optimization of turbofan engine air intake as well as geometry of intake lip, in-let cross-sectional area and its length is a relevant task in optimizing aerodynamic configuration of an aircraft. It is necessary to ensure a smooth entry of air flow into the engine at all modes of its operation and at various aircraft evolutions while minimizing impact on the overall aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft. Development of engine air intake was once a very long, routine process that could last for months be-fore design completion, followed by expensive tests on determination of air intake performances on the engine test bench and in flight. Today, we can evaluate performances for a large number of air intake options using design software. The use of computational methods does not exclude tests of air intakes but dramatically reduces their quantity, testing costs and allows designers to focus mainly on the best candidates for air intakes avoiding potential surprises such as shock waves or flow separation caused by a shock wave. Optimal design of the air intake includes determining the right balance between the air intake characteristics, structural load and weight. An over-designed air intake will ultimately be overweight and thus more expensive in terms of flight cost. In a well-designed air intake the Mach number should not exceed 1, in order to avoid a sudden change in static pressure, temperature and density, which can lead to potential shock waves and flow separation caused by a shock wave in all areas throughout the flight. The use of computational fluid dynamics al-lows a better understanding of the conditions under which such adverse events occur. Adjacent to this task is the provision of necessary area on the inside of air intake to ensure sufficient noise absorption generated by the engine fan. The article considers evolution of research on the example of air intake of the D-436 engine of the An-148 aircraft.

This work is devoted to experimental studies to determine the influence of technological factors on the process of intensification of pneumatic shock punching by drawing and accuracy of stamped products. The process of pneumatic shock extraction, as well as other impulse methods of extraction (explosive, electrohydraulic and magneto-pulse) is complicated by the high speed of deformation and, accordingly, by the occurrence of considerable inertial forces that counteract the movement of the flange of the extracted part. In the case of pneumatic shock reduction of the deformation rate can be achieved by adjusting the relative weight of the striker or by applying a two-stroke stretching. It is experimentally confirmed that the greatest influence on the limit values of the stamping ability in pneumatic impact stamping have the properties of the workpiece material, its surface properties, the scheme of the deformation process, the rate of deformation, the geometry of the matrix or punch, the value of contact friction and intensification techniques. Experiments have shown that the following factors have the greatest influence on the ultimate degree of drawing and the quality of the products: the condition of the surface and the physical and mechanical properties of the workpiece material; the radius of curvature of the working edge of the matrix; the relative thickness of the workpiece; workpiece loading rate (parameter α); the frictional properties of the matrix material and the workpiece; quality of greasing; technological scheme of operation. For two-stroke stretching, the stretching limit is increased by 8-10%. Also, when using two-stroke load, as shown by experiments, the amount of thinning in dangerous sections of the finished product is reduced. The reduction of radial deformation in the centre of the samples reaches 20-25%. The accuracy of pneumatic shock punching by a liquid is very high, since the deviation of the measured diameters does not exceed 0.1 mm. The surface quality of the pneumatic impacted products is determined only by the surface quality of the starting material. The pneumatic shock method of punching using a two-stage folded dash allows to increase the degree of drawing, accuracy and quality by means of a two-stroke loading, that is, to intensify the process of deep drawing of sheet products. The intensification is due to the successive double shock load for one cycle of the PUSH installation – the first blow is a formative, and the subsequent blow of the second stage is a calibration.

When creating modifications of transport category airplanes, fuel efficiency appears in the structure of their parameters.This indicator is very important, since operating costs largely depend on the amount of fuel consumed per unit of work.The problem of evaluating the fuel efficiency of modifications of transport aircraft with multi-engine power plants is considered. It is noted that multi-engine power plants, used mainly on medium and heavy aircraft, contribute to solving a number of problematic issues:– expanding the ability to operate in hot climates and highlands;– improving operational safety in the event of failure of one or two engines in case of deterioration of take-off/landing conditions, runway conditions, icing conditions and other emergency situations requiring increased thrust-to-weight ratio;– expanding the network of airfields used by reducing the sites of continued or interrupted take-off;– the absence of the need to use on the created modification more powerful engines, domestic or foreign, which do not have forced (emergency) operating modes.– However, the use of forced-mode engines in such power plants leads to a deterioration in fuel efficiency of up to 20 percent.For the preliminary design stage of modifications, a model is proposed for the formation of a fuel efficiency parameter while simultaneously replacing the main engines and changes in the wing geometry, which allows reducing fuel consumption for the flight, and thereby compensating for its losses when using emergency modes.This approach was implemented in the process of development of the An-188 operational tactical military transport aircraft, in which the replacement of 4 theater with 4 turbojet engines was coordinated with the necessary changes in the wing geometry, which allowed the military-technical complex to ensure fuel consumption in horizontal flight mode with maximum payload 154 g/t∙km per unit of useful work, i.e., lower than that of competitors-analogues.

In recent decades, sarcoptic mange has become the main driver of demographic changes in Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica) populations in the Iberian Peninsula. Given this species’ economic and ecological importance, priority must be given to management measures aimed at limiting the effects of this disease. However, despite the wealth of research on sarcoptic mange in ibex, no common patterns of action are yet available to manage this disease under field conditions. The lack of national and international protocols aimed at controlling sarcoptic mange has favoured the spontaneous emergence of various disease management initiatives in Spain. However, very little information is available concerning this trend and what there is tends to be available only as ‘grey literature’ or is consigned to the memory of local observers. Traditional strategies designed to combat this disease include the administration of medicated feed and the non–selective culling of mangy ibex. Here, we propose a management approach that takes into account aspects relating to the ecology and conservation of ibex populations, as well as public–health–related factors. Our recommendations are based on knowledge of the disease and host–parasite interaction, and aim to promote long–term advances in its control. Moreover, we discuss the efficacy of the measures traditionally used in mange management. The overall aim is to encourage debate between wildlife managers and motivate the development of alternative management strategies.

Perancangan Proteksi Petir SUTET dengan Konsep Lightning Performance dan Kinerja Arrester
Authors: Adiwibowo Tri Sakti
Published: February 2020

Lightning surges often occur on the 500 kV SUTET (Extra High Voltage Air Line) transmission line. Therefore a reliable protection system design is needed to minimize damage due to lightning surge disruption and to maintain continuity in power flow. The authors use the concept of lightning performance and arrester performance as parameters for its reliability design. In this research, the concepts of lightning performance and arrester performance are used as parameters for their reliability design. In this case, the high category IKL (Isokreaunic Level) is used, which is 91 strikes / km2 / year. In determining the design of substation equipment, the performance of arresters at SUTET 500 kV is also analyzed by using the margin protection formula. Based on the arrester performance analysis and calculation of the protection margin, the protection system in GITET (Extra High Voltage Main Station) is more appropriate to use MOV EXLIM 550 kV arresters, power transformers (BIL: 1425kV), CVT (BIL: 1550 kV), CT (BIL: 1550 kV), BSI (BIL: 1550 kV), and CB (BIL: 1550 kV) with a protection margin of more than 20%
Participación significativa e ignorada de las Rabonas indígenas tacneñas en la Guerra del Pacífico

Las Rabonas, generalmente, marchaban en la cola de la columna de los soldados de infantería, preparaban la comida y atendían a sus maridos, parejas, familiares o hijos; reparaban uniformes, los parchaban y reforzaban para su mejor resistencia frente al combate desigual, además, realizaban otras tareas domésticas. Es así que hicieron el papel de cocineras, enfermeras, apoyo logístico, religiosas santiguadoras, madres, consejeras, aguateras, enterradoras y amantes de sus parejas o esposos.Después, por situación involuntaria debido al sanguinario ataque del enemigo que no respetó ni siquiera a los niños, jóvenes o mujeres, en gran parte se quedaron solas, madres solteras o viudas con huérfanos, madres sin hijos o esposo, mujeres con carga familiar y, entre otros, huérfanas. Las valientes indígenas, iletradas en su gran mayoría, hicieron su propia historia, y a pesar de que no tuvieron nombres y apellidos, debemos considerarlas como merecedores de honor y como representantes de una auténtica cultura social y ejemplo a seguir. A través de estas líneas, se rinde homenaje a nuestras Panaycunas (hermanas, en quechua).

Characterisation of hydrological droughts in centralnorth Argentina and their atmospheric and oceanic drivers
Authors: Caragunis JI , Rivera JA , Penalba OC
Published: February 2020

Low streamflows caused by natural and anthropogenic forcings affect ecosystems and societies, especially on large timescales. We analysed the main basins of central-north Argentina (CNA) using centennial streamflow data. This study is focussed on describing spatial and temporal variability of hydrological drought events, and evaluating the atmospheric and oceanic drivers under hydrological drought conditions. The Standardized Streamflow Index in the period 1919-2014 was applied, sectored by 4 major basins. The western Argentinian rivers (Colorado Basin, CB) have shown increasing drought events since the 1940 decade, while in the east, a sharp decrease occurred from 1970 onwards. Extreme drought events occurred over CB and La Plata Basin (LPB) during the periods 1966-1972 and 2010-2014. Atmospheric and oceanic patterns under hydrological drought conditions show anticyclonic anomalies over the South Pacific Ocean (SPO), cyclonic sub-polar anomalies and La Niña-like conditions with warm sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in SPO for the western basins. Over LPB, a strong cold SSTA in the tropical south-western Atlantic Ocean is positioned in phase with the cyclonic anomalies. At mid-latitudes, a warm SSTA and anticyclonic anomalies are detected. Water vapour transport composites show southerly winds and drier conditions for northern and eastern Argentina, and weakening of westerly winds with drier atmosphere for western rivers. These results deepen our knowledge of natural forcings related to hydrological drought events in CNA and in the predictability of such complex natural hazards.
Inducible versus constitutive antioxidant defenses in algae along an environmental stress gradient
Authors: Van Alstyne KL , Sutton L , Gifford SA
Published: February 2020

Optimal defense theory (ODT) predicts that antiherbivore defenses should be constitutive when plants are frequently attacked and inducible when the probability of attack is low. Like antiherbivore defenses, antioxidant defenses can be inducible or constitutive. We hypothesized the ODT predictions should apply to antioxidant defenses; thus, species inhabiting environments where oxidative stresses occur frequently should produce constitutive antioxidant defenses, whereas species in environments where stresses occur less frequently should produce inducible defenses. We tested this hypothesis by attempting to induce production of the antioxidant precursor dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in 4 ulvoid algae species that experience different levels of environmental stress because they are zoned along a tidal gradient. The 2 lower intertidal speciesUlvaria obscuraandUlva fenestrata, which experience oxidative stresses less frequently, induced DMSP production in response to applications of the chemical oxidant hydrogen peroxide within 7 d, whereas the higher intertidal speciesUlva linzaandUlva intestinalis, which regularly experience oxidative stress, did not have increased DMSP concentrations. This study demonstrates a novel waterborne signaling mechanism for DMSP induction in marine macroalgae and provides evidence of selection for inducible antioxidant defenses in organisms experiencing less frequent environmental stresses.

Published: February 2020

Background: Bonding is an emotional bond between a mother and a baby that develops gradually and immediately after birth until it is formed into an attachment. Bonding is considered important to ensure the baby’s protection. However, bonding remains challenging for mothers with spontaneous childbirth because they are most likely to focus on themselves. Objective: To explore the bonding and attachment experience among postpartum mothers with spontaneous childbirth. Methods: This was a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected from nine participants using semi-structured interviews and observations. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s analysis method. Results: Five themes emerged, namely 1) feeling relieved and happy with the birth of the baby, 2) bonding and attachments are important, 3) stimulating the baby’s sense, 4) the need of social supports in bonding and attachment, and 5) internal and external factors of bonding and attachment. Conclusion: Bonding and attachment are very important that should be done by the mothers to the baby. However, it takes time and needs the supports from the husbands, parents, relatives, and health workers. Therefore, nurses or midwives should pay attention to this process to create the better bonding and attachment between the mothers and the babies.
The Role of Red Blood Cell Deformability and Na,K-ATPase Function in Selected Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Diseases in Humans: Focus on Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus and Hypercholesterolemia
Authors: RADOSINSKA J. , VRBJAR N.
Published: February 2020

Deformability of red blood cells (RBC) is the ability of RBC to change their shape in order to pass through narrow capillaries in circulation. Deterioration in deformability of RBC contributes to alterations in microcirculatory blood flow and delivery of oxygen to tissues. Several factors are responsible for maintenance of RBC deformability. One of them is the Na,K-ATPase known as crucial enzyme in maintenance of intracellular ionic homeostasis affecting thus regulation of cellular volume and consequently RBC deformability. Decreased deformability of RBC has been found to be the marker of adverse outcomes in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors influences rheological properties of the blood. This review summarizes knowledge concerning the RBC deformability in connection with selected risk factors of CVD, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus, based exclusively on papers from human studies. We attempted to provide an update on important issues regarding the role of Na,K-ATPase in RBC deformability. In patients suffering from hypertension as well as diabetes mellitus the Na,K-ATPase appears to be responsible for the changes leading to alterations in RBC deformability. The triggering factor for changes of RBC deformability during hypercholesterolemia seems to be the increased content of cholesterol in erythrocyte membranes.
