Authors: YORULMAZ Aslı , ERİNÇ Hakan , TATLI Abidin , TEKİN Aziz 
Published: November 2019

The aim of the study was to identify the changes in olive and corresponding
olive oil characteristics in response to irrigation. Five olive cultivars
(Halhalı, Sarı ulak, Nizip Yağlık, Kilis Yağlık and Karamani) from Turkish
origin were harvested from their own traditional growing region (Mardin,
Mersin, Gaziantep, Kilis and Hatay respectively) from both irrigated and non-irrigated trees
(rain-fed) for two consecutive crop years. Olives were processed to oil with a
laboratory scale system. Olive fruits were analyzed for their physico-chemical
properties and phenolic composition and olive oils were analysed for fatty
acid, triacylglycerol and sterol composition. Results have shown that average
weight, flesh/pit ratio of olives were lower and dry matter and oil content
were higher in rain-fed trees than irrigated ones. Phenolic content and
composition of fruits were cultivar dependent and responded differently to
water supplement. Fatty acid composition of olive oils mainly remained
unchanged, however the concentration of individual triacylglycerols behaved in
distinct ways. Total sterol and β-sitosterol contents increased and decreased
for various cultivars whereas Δ-5-avenasterol increased in all cases. Sarı ulak
variety was well separated from other varieties by principal component and
hierarchical cluster analysis both in rain-fed and irrigated treatments.

Objective
Thyroid cancer (TC) incidence has increased robustly in Korea. However, the actual cause of death, overall mortality risk, and cause-specific mortality risk in TC patients have not been clearly elucidated.

Design
Retrospective cohort study.

Methods
We analyzed 4082 TC patients from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Health Screening Cohort (NHIS-HEALS, 2002–2013) with a median of 48-month follow-up. We compared these patients with 12 246 controls matched for age, sex, and histories of major cardiovascular disease (CVD) to investigate the cause of death and risks of overall and cause-specific mortality.

Results
Overall, 61 deaths (1.5%) occurred in the TC group. The most common cause of death was TC-specific mortality (32.8%), followed by other malignancy-related mortality (31.1%) and CVD mortality (13.1%). The overall mortality risk was comparable between the TC and control groups (unadjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.17; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.87–1.58); the adjusted HR remained at 1.25 (95% CI: 0.90–1.74) after multivariate adjustment for body mass index (BMI), socioeconomic status (SES), smoking, alcohol consumption, and histories of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. In addition, there was not enough evidence against the surmise that the CVD mortality risk was similar between the TC and control groups, with an HR of 0.50 (95% CI: 0.22–1.16) after adjustment for CVD risk factors.

Conclusions
Excellent overall survival was observed in TC patients. The most common cause of death was TC-specific mortality, suggesting the importance of thyroid cancer treatment. The overall and cause-specific mortality risks, particularly CVD mortality risk, did not differ between TC patients and the general population.
Doble compresión del nervio mediano en el brazo. Revisión crítica de la bibliografía. [Double compression syndrome of the median nerve in the arm]

Published: November 2019

La compresión mecánica de un nervio periférico en dos sitios diferentes a lo largo de su trayecto se define como síndrome de doble compresión. Esta enfermedad se basa en la teoría de la mayor susceptibilidad que tendría un nervio a nivel distal cuando este también se encuentra comprimido, en forma asintomática, a nivel proximal, debido a una alteración en el flujo axonal. Si bien la descompresión del túnel carpiano es una cirugía con resultados previsibles, hay pacientes operados por síndrome de túnel carpiano que no mejoran después de una cirugía, como cabría esperar. Si se excluye de este análisis a las comorbilidades, como diabetes, casos avanzados con atrofia muscular o descompresiones insuficientes, muchos de estos fracasos terapéuticos podrían estar fundamentados por el escaso diagnóstico de un segundo sitio de compresión concomitante. No obstante, existe gran controversia alrededor del síndrome de doble compresión que involucran no solo a su existencia, sino también a su incidencia y fisiopatología. El objetivo de esta publicación es presentar una revisión bibliográfica crítica del síndrome de doble compresión centrada en el compromiso del nervio mediano tanto en la muñeca como en el codo. AbstractThe mechanical compression of a peripheral nerve at two different sites is defined as double compression syndrome. This concept is based on the theory of the higher susceptibility that a nerve would present at a distal level when it is also compressed asymptomatically at a more proximal site. While carpal tunnel release is a surgery with predictable results, there are patients undergoing carpal tunnel decompression who do not have the expected improvement after surgery. Excluding from this analysis comorbidities such as diabetes, advanced cases with thenar atrophy, or incomplete decompressions, many of these therapeutic failures could be explained on the sub diagnosis of a second concomitant compression site. Despite this, there exists a big controversy around the double compression syndrome involving not only its existence but also its incidence and pathophysiology. Our objective is to perform a critical literature review of the double compression syndrome focused on the entrapment of the median nerve in the wrist and elbow.

Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT - QMFS 2019 Pouteria campecchiana, a fruit cultivated in many provinces of the Mekong Delta, is typically eaten fresh and has many benefits to human health. Therefore, quality control during storage of this fruit is very important for fresh consumption and food processing. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of postharvest maturity on the quality of the fruit stored at room temperature, mainly on its chemical composition and bioactive compounds content. The results showed that storage time greatly affected amounts of carotenoids, tannin, phenolic and flavonoids: Highest content of carotenoids, polyphenols, flavonoids were obtained at day 10th of storage while tannin content gradually declined. The greatest antioxidant activity of fruit extracts was also obtained after 10 days storage. It was recommended that highest nutritional value of Pouteria campecchiana can be achieved from 8 to 10 days after harvest.

Published: November 2019

This research was aimed at investigating the effects of some extraction process parameters on the extraction efficiency and some chemical characteristics of tea seed oil from “Trungdu” tea variety, one of the high-quality vegetable oils, similar to olive oil with high portion of unsaturated fatty acids, especially essential linoleic acid and low content of saturated fat. This work reports for the first time the effects of process parameters using solvent extraction method on the efficiency and chemical characteristics of “Trungdu” tea seed oil. The study parameters were particle size (0.25-2.00 mm), material/solvent ratio (1/12-1/6), temperature (25-55oC), time (5-11 h), speed of solvent movement (0-250 r/m) and extraction cycle (1-3 times). The responses such as extraction efficiency, chemical characteristics (acid, peroxide, iodine and saponification values) were determined. The results indicated that the extraction efficiency was affected by all designed parameters. In addition, the temperature, particle size and extraction time had the most significant effect on the iodine value and acid value. The extraction temperature and the speed of solvent movement had pronounced effects on all the acid value, peroxide value, iodine value and saponification value of tea seed oil. However, ratio of material/solvent and extraction cycle did not appreciably effect on chemical characteristics of tea seed oil. Furthermore, the optimal extraction efficiency related to higher quality properties had been achieved in the range of 35 to 45oC, 7 to 9 hours, with a particle size of 0.5 mm, material/content ratio 1/8 to 1/12, movement speed of solvent 200 to 250 r/m and extraction cycle 1 or 2 times. Therefore, the results from this work will be useful for developing an optimal procedure for obtaining tea seed oil. In addition, tea seed oil with the main acid component is oleic acid and linoleic acid, is considered a high quality oil.

Respuesta agronómica de mucilago de cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) en cultivo de maíz (Zea mays L.)
Authors: Sánchez-Olaya Diana Maria , Rodriguez Perez Wilson , Castro Rojas Diego Francisco , Trujillo  Trujillo Edwin 
Published: November 2019

Se comparó la producción de mucilago drenado de granos de Theobroma cacao, T. grandiflorum y T. bicolor en caja de madera y luego se evaluó su posible uso como biofertilizante. T. cacao presentó la mayor producción de mucilago drenado (4.5 ml mucilago kg-1 grano h-1) con contenidos de 11.18 mg P L.-1, 0.2 % K y 0.08 % N. Posteriormente se determinó el crecimiento de dos variedades de Zea mays (ICA V-305 y Calilla) usando mucilago drenado de T. cacao. El experimento en campo tuvo cinco tratamientos (fertisun, control (sin abonado), 5 % mucilago, 10 % mucilago y 15 % mucilago) bajo un diseño completamente al azar en arreglo de parcelas divididas. Las variables de respuesta agronómica evaluadas fueron: TAC y TRC. En la evaluación de TAC en las dos variedades de Zea mays estudiadas se observó que la variedad calilla presentó mayor crecimiento en menor tiempo cuando se aplicó mucilago drenado al 5 % respecto de la variedad ICA V-305, por lo cual se consideró el mejor tratamiento para usar como abono líquido. Considerando la existencia de malezas en el sitio de estudio, las cuales fueron retiradas solo en los dos primeros muestreos (13 y 21 dds) no se observó una tendencia clara en los valores TRC para las dos variedades de Z. mays evaluadas.

Authors: Tsuda Yusuke , Tsoi Kim , Stevenson Jonathan D. , Fujiwara Tomohiro , Tillman Roger , Abudu Adesegun 
Published: November 2019

Background:
Extendable endoprostheses are used to reconstruct segmental defects following resection of bone sarcomas in skeletally immature patients. However, there remains a paucity of studies with regard to long-term outcomes.

Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed 124 skeletally immature children who underwent an extendable endoprosthetic replacement and survived more than 10 years after the surgical procedures. Anatomical sites included the distal part of the femur (n = 66), the proximal part of the femur (n = 13), the proximal part of the tibia (n = 29), and the proximal part of the humerus (n = 16). Complications and implant survival were classified according to the modified Henderson criteria.

Results:
The mean follow-up was 24 years (range, 10 to 36 years). The mean age at the time of the extendable endoprosthetic replacement was 9 years (range, 2 to 16 years). All patients had reached skeletal maturity at the last follow-up. The 10-year endoprosthetic failure-free survival rate was 28%. A total of 243 complications occurred in 90% of patients; these complications were most frequently related to soft-tissue problems (27% of complications). The incidence of and cumulative survival with respect to each failure mode varied between anatomical sites. Soft-tissue failures occurred most frequently in the proximal part of the femur (77%; p = 0.003), and the distal part of the femur was the most frequent site of aseptic loosening (52%; p = 0.014) and structural failure (55%; p = 0.001). Excluding lengthening procedures, 105 patients (85%) underwent an additional surgical procedure, with a mean of 2.7 surgical procedures per patient (range, 0 to 7 surgical procedures per patient). The mean limb-length discrepancy at the final follow-up was 1 cm (range, 0 to 9 cm). Limb salvage was achieved in 113 patients (91%). The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society functional score (the percentage of a total score of 30 points) was 82% (range, 40% to 100%) in 115 patients with available data at the last follow-up.

Conclusions:
Extendable endoprostheses are associated with a high complication rate and a need for additional surgical procedures over time. Despite this, successful limb salvage with reasonable function and small limb-length discrepancy is achievable in the long term. Our study provides benchmark data for individual anatomical sites for further improvements of outcomes.

Reconstruction of the Suprascapular Nerve in Brachial Plexus Birth Injury
Authors: Manske M. Claire , Kalish Leslie A. , Cornwall Roger , Peljovich Allan E. , Bauer Andrea S. ,   on behalf of the TOBI Study Group
Published: November 2019

Background:
Shoulder external rotation recovery in brachial plexus birth injury is often limited. Nerve grafting to the suprascapular nerve and transfer of the spinal accessory nerve to the suprascapular nerve are commonly performed to restore shoulder external rotation, but the optimal surgical technique has not been clearly demonstrated. We investigated whether there was a difference between nerve grafting and nerve transfer in terms of shoulder external rotation recovery or secondary shoulder procedures.

Methods:
This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of 145 infants with brachial plexus birth injury who underwent reconstruction with nerve grafting to the suprascapular nerve (n = 59) or spinal accessory nerve to suprascapular nerve transfer (n = 86) with a minimum follow-up of 18 months (median, 25.7 months [interquartile range, 22.0, 31.2 months]). The primary outcome was the Active Movement Scale (AMS) score for shoulder external rotation at 18 to 36 months. The secondary outcome was secondary shoulder surgery. Two-sample Wilcoxon and t tests were used to analyze continuous variables, and the Fisher exact test was used to analyze categorical variables. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the cumulative risk of subsequent shoulder procedures, and the proportional hazards model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs).

Results:
The grafting and transfer groups were similar in Narakas type, preoperative AMS scores, and shoulder subluxation. The mean postoperative shoulder external rotation AMS scores were 2.70 in the grafting group and 3.21 in the transfer group, with no difference in shoulder external rotation recovery between the groups (difference, 0.51 [95% confidence interval (CI), −0.31 to 1.33]). A greater proportion of the transfer group (24%) achieved an AMS score of >5 for shoulder external rotation compared with the grafting group (5%) (odds ratio, 5.9 [95% CI, 1.3 to 27.4]). Forty percent of the transfer group underwent a secondary shoulder surgical procedure compared with 53% of the grafting group; this was a significantly lower subsequent surgery rate (HR, 0.58 [95% CI, 0.35 to 0.95]).

Conclusions:
Shoulder external rotation recovery in brachial plexus birth injury remains disappointing regardless of surgical technique, with a mean postoperative AMS score of 3, 17% of infants achieving an AMS score of >5, and a high frequency of secondary shoulder procedures in this study. Spinal accessory nerve to suprascapular nerve transfers were associated with a higher proportion of infants achieving functional shoulder external rotation (AMS score of >5) and fewer secondary shoulder procedures.

Authors: John Shibu 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Dropped Objects pose the number-one risk of serious injuries, fatalities, and equipment damage in several industries across the globe and is more prominent in Off shore drilling condition, where more personnel perform their duties within a confined space. Dropped Object Prevention Scheme [DROPS] is intended to be applied to operations in which Dropped Objects could cause harm to people, equipment, and/or the environment. Though Companies develop documented DROPS at relevant levels/departments within the organization as per objectives and targets developed as part of their company's existing Health, Safety, and Environment and/or operational goal-setting processes. Third Party DROPS Survey and Reporting is a catalyst to integrate & guide the scheme to meet its objectives.
This paper emphasizes the importance of a robust DROPS, reinforced by repeatable and reliable DROPS Survey & Reporting, in compliance with present industry standard and at the end extend its SMARTER possibilities of expansion with use of RFID Tags and Artificial Intelligence.

Effective Reservoir Management with Flow Control Devices for SAGD Producer Wells in Mackay River
Authors: Rosi Giuseppe , Zhu Da , O'Hagan Dermot 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Inflow Control Devices (ICDs) have been adopted for commercial steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) production for nearly ten years and yet the function they serve is not well understood, and field data evaluating their performance remains scant. Thus, the purpose of the current study is twofold: Firstly, the study derives a simplified analytical model demonstrating how increasing the dP across ICDs acts to improve conformance along a producing lateral. The resulting equation of the analysis acts as a simple rule of thumb for determining an appropriate pressure drop across ICDs to achieve conformance. Secondly, the study evaluates the performance of ICDs that had been installed in four wells, two of which had ICDs installed prior to circulation and two that adopted ICDs later in their lifecycle. The field data shows that ICDs increase production rates and improve conformance along the lateral. These improvements are achieved by an increased drawdown facilitated by the ICDs. This part of the study highlights how early-life results may differ between ICD bearing wells compared to their conventionally completed (slotted liner) offsets: ICD bearing wells exhibit improved conformance and an ability to develop more challenging reservoir resulting in different oil production profiles and composite SORs.

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to present the philosophies for the qualification and flow loop testing of FCD nozzles as well as the macroscopic implementation and operations of FCDs in SAGD producer wells. A quantitative methodology to evaluate FCD nozzles to choke back steam will be presented. Flow loop testing data will be shown to illustrate the qualification process. We will also discuss if sand control screens should be put on the tubing deployed inflow control devices. Some modeling and field examples will be shown. In the end, field data of the SAGD producer wells installed with the FCDs will be presented. Experience to manage and operate the wells will be shared.
