Lingual bonded retainers: A case series of complications and resolutions
Authors: Kim Tae-Kyung , Baek Seung-Hak 
Published: March 2020

Objective:The objective of the study was to describe the types, causes, and recommendations for the prevention/ management of complications related with lingual bonded retainers (LBRs) during the retention period.Materials and Methods:The retention protocol was a combined use of the LBRs made from 0.0175 multistrand wire and bonded on the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth by DuraLay resin transfer method and a removable retainer at both arches for nighttime wear. Nine cases, which did not show bonding failure or fracture of LBR, were described to explain the complications including unexpected tooth movements and gingival problems.Results:The types of complications were spacing, loss of alignment, change in transverse position, angulation or torque of the crown, gingival recession, and black triangle. There are three possible causes for these complications: (1) Active force generated by LBR, which was not passively fabricated or bonded, (2) deformation of LBR induced by heavy biting force or traumatic occlusion, and (3) untwisting force of strand in round flexible multistrand wire. These complications can be prevented or managed by (1) fabrication of LBR on a working model to make it passive, (2) use of a jig to position LBR during bonding to avoid deformation by finger pressure, (3) supplemental use of a removable retainer for nighttime wear, (4) early detection of bonding failure, deformation, or fracture of LBR, and (5) immediate removal of LBR and use of a new removable retainer for resolution of complications.Conclusion:Clinicians should check the existence of these complications from the start of retention and inform the patient of the possibility of retreatment.

Objective:
Microwave ablation (MWA) of liver malignancies has gained much traction over the past 5 years. However, MWA carries relatively higher rates of residual disease compared to resection. Likelihood of MWA success is multifactorial and newer devices with more reliable ablation zones are being developed to overcome these drawbacks. This manuscript is a review of our first 100 liver ablations with the newer single antenna high powered MWA system.

Materials and Methods:
Retrospective chart review of patients that underwent MWA for either primary or secondary hepatic malignancies between March 2015 and July 2016 was conducted. The complete ablation rates, rate of new lesions, complications, and short-term survival were analyzed. Multiple statistical tests, including multivariate regression, were used to assess risk factors for local residual and recurrent disease.

Results:
Fifty-three patients (median age 61 ± 9 years, 39 males) underwent 100 MWAs. Of the 100 lesions ablated, 76 were hepatocellular cancers (HCCs) and 24 were metastases. Median lesion size was 16 ± 9 mm. Seventy- five of these patients had multifocal disease targeted in the same session. Seventy patients had cirrhosis (median model for end-stage liver disease score 9 ± 3; Child-Pugh B and C in 42%). An 83% complete lesion ablation rate was seen on follow-up imaging with liver protocol magnetic resonance imaging/computed tomography (median follow-up of 1 year). The minor complication rate was 9.4% with no major complications or 30-day mortality. Despite this, evidence of new foci of hepatic disease was found in 47% of patients, the majority (80%) of which were in HCC patients (P < 0.01) and most of these new lesions were in a different hepatic segment (64%). Degree of cirrhosis (P < 0.01), presence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (P = 0.01) and lesion’s subcapsular location (P = 0.03) was significant predictors of residual disease. With the subset analysis of only HCC lesions larger than 1 cm, only the presence of NASH remained significant.

Conclusion:
The single probe high power MWA of malignant hepatic lesions is safe and effective with minimal morbidity. Degree of cirrhosis, NASH, and subcapsular location was associated with an increased rate of residual disease on short-term follow-up.

Published: March 2020

A utilização do adobe pelo homem é datada desde os primeiros modelos habitacionais que se tem registro. No Brasil, a técnica foi amplamente utilizada no período colonial, passando por diversos cenários, tendo seu uso declinado a partir da Revolução Industrial. Com os crescentes problemas ambientais causados pelo uso desenfreado de novos materiais, o adobe, dentre outras técnicas de construção com terra, ressurge com potencial de aplicação, principalmente pelo baixo impacto ambiental associado. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar historicamente a produção do conhecimento sobre o adobe no panorama nacional, desde o período colonial até os dias atuais com enfoque nos últimos 10 anos, buscando entender seu processo dinâmico de atuação tanto na paisagem arquitetônica brasileira, como no aspecto sociocultural associado, identificando as causas da retomada no seu uso por meio da questão da sustentabilidade. Os resultados evidenciaram um aumento substancial no número de publicações nesse período, por outro lado, Por outro lado, identificou-se uma demanda considerável por novas pesquisas na área, além da atuação política e social para a normatização, na disseminação da técnica tanto em âmbito acadêmico como na cadeia da construção civil nacional por sua ligação com as questões relativas às construções mais sustentáveis.

Infant and Under Five Mortality Rates in Nigeria: An Impact Analysis of Macroeconomic Conditions
Authors: Raji Rahman Olanrewaju 
Published: March 2020

Over the years, the rising unfriendly macroeconomic environment is a contributing factor to the infant and under-five mortality rate in Nigeria. The study investigated the role of macroeconomic conditions on infant and under-five mortality rates in Nigeria for the period 1986–2017 using the fully modified OLS technique. The results show that the unfriendly macroeconomic policy environment such as the instability of inflation rate, unemployment and exchange rate enhanced the increased level of infant and under-five mortality rate in Nigeria. The study recommends that the authority should adopt more pro-growth policies that can ensure and maintain sound domestic macroeconomic policies to stem child mortality rate and promote economic growth through investment in food production and related investment in health. Most importantly, macroeconomic policies and institutions are highly needed to be strengthened in order to have a friendly macroeconomic environment which will in turn improve the population health of the country which can enhance sustainable and long term dietary as well as nutritional pattern of young age children and adult.
Assessment of Energy Intensity Indicators in Libya: Case Study
Authors: El-Osta Wedad , Elghawi Usama 
Published: March 2020

Energy-efficient technologies provide chances for money savings and reducing environmental damages related to energy use. This paper aims to assess the energy efficiency in Libya and tools to promote its implementation. In addition, it seeks to present measures and programs that could be foreseen in the transformation sector and some end users.
Data of energy intensity in Libya was taken from different recognized sources such as World Development Indicators (WDI) - World Bank, and Enerdata web site. The data was collected, assembled, and analyzed using Ms Excel sheets. Results were plotted and compared to World average and Africa or with (Middle East and North African) MENA countries where ever data is available. The main indicators over almost quarter of a century (1990-2014) were presented and changes over this period were indicated.
It could be concluded that primary energy intensity for Libya during (2000- 2014) is comparable to world average values and for Africa and the final energy intensity has increased at only 0.7% per year during the same period. As an oil producer and exporter country, the ratio of final enrgy intensity to primary energy intensity in Libya has increased at a rate of 1.1% during (2000-2014), which is greater than the World average and African countries. The rate of energy intensity of transport has increased by 6.9 % per year for the period (1990-2014) and 7.8% per year for the period (2000-2014) compared to the world improvement (-1.8%) per year and for Africa (-0.3) % per year for the period (2000-2014)). This is due to lack of regulations and measures concerning this sector and increased number of private cars. Suitable measures and policies should be taken towards this sector to improve its performance since it contributes to the highest share of energy consumption. The highest share of electric energy consumption is at residential, then commercial and service end use, followed by street lighting. There is a good potential for energy saving at these sectors.
Mindset Rather Than Technology Is What Really Matters in Flipped Classroom in College English Teaching: An Organization Development Perspective
Authors: Feng Xiaolong 
Published: March 2020

This paper demonstrates the implementation of flipped classroom in a private university and explicitly interprets the three major resisting forces that undermine the application of flipped classroom in college English teaching. Based on in-depth analysis of voices from different stakeholders, it is illustrated that administrators in the focal institution lack a clear mission of external adaptation and should be more aware of hearing different voices instead of forcing the policy. As for teachers, they are used to traditional teaching delivery and fear for technology challenge and the possibility of being substituted by technology, moreover, they do not have the initiative to make innovation in tech-based teaching approaches. In terms of students, due to their lack of independent learning ability and their dependence on teacher-centered classroom context, it is challenging to change their awareness and accept the flipped classroom. Based on the situation, it is suggested in the paper that stakeholders should adapt their mindset to the external changes, and leaders in the school need to model the way of the flipped classroom and inspire a shared vision so that it creates psychological safety for its members to try new things.

Published: March 2020

Introducción. La hernioplastia con malla de polipropileno es la técnica de elección para el reparo de las hernias inguinales. Actualmente, existe controversia sobre esta técnica en pacientes con heridas sucias o contaminadas; sin embargo, la evidencia en la literatura médica ha demostrado que su uso puede ser seguro. Los autores presentan su experiencia con las mallas de polipropileno en la cirugía contaminada para cierre de hernias inguinales.
Método. Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo en el que se incluyeron los pacientes mayores de 18 años atendidos entre enero de 2017 y diciembre de 2018 por presentar hernias inguinales, que requirieron tratamiento quirúrgico de urgencias, y que presentaban heridas sucias o contaminadas. Los criterios evaluados fueron: infección de la herida quirúrgica, morbilidad y mortalidad, necesidad de remoción de la malla y recurrencia de la hernia.
Resultados. Diez pacientes fueron sometidos a cirugía de urgencias, requiriendo resección intestinal por necrosis: nueve de ellos, por hernias estranguladas y, uno, por apendicitis perforada. En uno de los diez pacientes, se consideró sucia la herida por presentar necrosis intestinal y perforación. Los nueve restantes presentaban necrosis intestinal sin perforación, por lo cual se consideraron heridas contaminadas. La infección de la herida ocurrió en 1/10 pacientes con infección del sitio operatorio superficial; la eliminación de la malla no fue necesaria en ningún paciente durante todo el período de estudio. No se observaron recidivas y no hubo mortalidad.
Conclusión. El uso de malla de polipropileno para la corrección de hernias inguinales, en pacientes con heridas sucias o contaminadas, es efectivo y seguro, con una morbilidad aceptable y buenos resultados a corto plazo.
Características clínicas y administrativas que se relacionan con el retraso en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de los pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello
Authors: López Andrés Felipe , Sanabria Quiroga Álvaro Enrique 
Published: March 2020

Introducción. En Colombia, el diagnóstico de los tumores de cabeza y cuello es tardío, lo cual aumenta la mortalidad, las secuelas estéticas y funcionales, y los costos para el sistema de salud. Actualmente, hay poca información sobre los factores que retrasan el diagnóstico y tratamiento de los pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello.
Métodos. Se trata un estudio transversal y analítico. Como referencia, se utilizó el cálculo de muestras para una población finita con un nivel de confianza del 95 % y un margen de error del 5 %, para un total de 159 pacientes con diagnóstico de cáncer de cabeza y cuello atendidos en la Clínica Vida de Medellín, entre los años 2016 y 2017.
Resultados. Se evaluaron 146 pacientes. Los síntomas más frecuentes por los que consultaron fueron masa cervical y disfonía. Solo el 53,4 % de los pacientes buscó atención médica inmediata ante la presencia del síntoma. De aquellos que no la buscaron, la causa más frecuente fue la creencia de que el síntoma desaparecería espontáneamente.
Discusión. Con base en los resultados obtenidos, se puede concluir que el síntoma de presentación juega un papel importante para que el paciente decida buscar o no buscar atención médica inmediata. El síntoma de presentación y el vivir en el área rural, retrasan el tiempo transcurrido entre la aparición del síntoma y la primera valoración por un médico de atención primaria. Los factores que se asociaron al retraso entre el diagnóstico y el inicio del tratamiento, fueron la seguridad social y el haber presentado tos como síntoma inicial.

Purpose: Physical activity level is a prognostic variable for patients with injuries. Self-report questionnaires exist to obtain these measures; however, they are not accessible to all populations because of language barriers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to translate and validate the Hospital for Special Surgery Pediatric Functional Activity Brief Scale (HSS Pedi-FABS) for francophones. Method: We translated the HSS Pedi-FABS using the forward–reverse translation approach and validated it among bilingual adults and an expert panel before administering it to a paediatric population. A repeated-measures crossover design was used: forty-three middle school students, aged 13.1 (SD 0.75) years, were randomly administered either the English or the French questionnaire. Two days later, all participants completed the other version. The translated questionnaire was assessed for its convergent validity (Spearman’s r correlation coefficients [ rs]), internal consistency (Cronbach’s α), and reliability (standard error of measurement [SEM]). Results: All assessments had a significance level of p < 0.001 with an excellent Spearman’s r correlation coefficient between the participants’ total scores on the translated questionnaires ( rs = 0.911). The overall scores for the questionnaire and the individual items of the questionnaire revealed excellent internal consistency (α = 0.868) and reliability (SEM = 0.334). Conclusions: The validated and reliable translated questionnaire can be used by researchers and clinicians to assess physical activity levels in French paediatric populations.
