Frequency of Vertebral Fractures in Patients presenting with Hip Fractures
Authors: Chinoy Muhammad Amin , Javed Salman 
Published: November 2019

Objective: To determine the frequency of vertebral fractures in patients presenting with hip fractures.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted at The Indus Hospital, Karachi, from May 2018 to November 2018. All patients above 40 years presenting with hip fractures were enrolled and a dorsal lumbar lateral view radiograph was obtained to investigate for vertebral fractures. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS. Post-stratification, Chi-square/Fisher exact test was applied as appropriate to assess the significant association. P value of ≤0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Three hundred thirty five patients were enrolled. Of these, 189 (56.4%) were females and 165 (49.3%) presented with neck of femur fractures. Out of 335 hip fractures patients, 77 (23%) were found to have concomitant vertebral fractures, with 73 (96.1%) having a compression fracture. T12 was the most common vertebra involved and 68.8% of patients were asymptomatic. Co-morbid conditions were statistically significantly associated with vertebral fractures.
Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of asymptomatic vertebral fractures in our population, but low compared to studies from western countries. There is a need to evaluate these fractures separately for the prevention of morbidity and mortality.

Imaging of Pulmonary Post-Tuberculosis Sequelae
Authors: Rafeah Khan Rafeah , Malik Nuzhat Irfan , Razaque Abdul 
Published: November 2019

Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death, and the leading cause from a single infectious agent. Pakistan has an overwhelming burden of TB and it is a major health hazard for the majority of the rural population. The lung continues to be the most common site of involvement and even after completion of treatment residual changes remain which may affect quality of life.Complications of TB after treatment completion can often be misinterpreted for other active diseases so it is important to recognize and understand the radiologic manifestations of the thoracic sequelae. Post TB sequelae can be categorized into parenchymal, airway disease, pleural/chest wall, vascular and mediastinal. These residual changes can be minor however, some can be debilitating and even fatal.The purpose of this pictorial review is to show the spectrum of residual changes seen on chest radiography and/or computed tomography that persist after treatment completion and bacteriological cure.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis after treatment of femoral neck fracture
Authors: Chinoy Muhammad Amin , Pal Sateesh , Khan Mansoor Ali 
Published: November 2019

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in children after treatment of femoral neck fracture is a very rare condition. This complication should be recognized promptly and treated urgently. The risk of development of this complication can be minimized by anatomical reduction of the fracture and stable internal fixation of the fracture. Five years old male child sustained right sided femur neck fracture and was treated with closed reduction and Hip spica cast application. The fracture healed with a varus deformity. After 7 months, he developed slip of femoral epiphysis with a coxa vara deformity of proximal femur, which was treated with in situ fixation with Cannulated screws. His subsequent course remained uneventful up to five months.Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) after treatment of femoral neck fracture in children is a rare complication that should be recognized and treated promptly. The onset of SCFE may show inadequate reduction or fixation of the fracture. Anatomic reduction and stable internal ﬁxation for femoral neck fracture in children provides best outcomes. Postoperative care and delayed weight bearing are also equally important to avoid complications.

Effect of olive oil administration on the level of transforming growth factor β1 during orthodontic tooth movement in old and young guinea pigs
Authors: Suparwitri Sri , Noviasari Paramita 
Published: November 2019

Background: Orthodontic tooth movement occurs due to continuous pressure on the teeth, causing the remodeling of the alveolar bone. The tissue will respond to bone growth factors, such as transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), fibroblasts, and bone morphogenetic proteins, for new bone formation. The remodeling process is balanced in young adults, but there is an imbalance in older individuals due to decreased differentiation, activity, and life span of osteoblasts, and increased osteoclasts. Olive oil contains lots of antioxidants and can slow down the aging process. This study aims to study the differences in TGF-β1 levels between old and young guinea pigs, and the difference between olive oil administration on TGF-β1 levels in old and young guinea pigs with orthodontic tooth movement. Methods: 12 guinea pigs divided into 4 groups: young guinea pigs (4-5 months) not given olive oil; young guinea pigs given olive oil; old guinea pigs (30-31 months) given olive oil; old guinea pigs given olive oil. The teeth were moved using an open coil spring mounted on the brackets on both lower incisors. Gingival sulcus fluid samples were taken on days 0, 7 and 14 of the movement of the teeth. TGF-β1 levels were analyzed using ELISA. Results: Three-way ANOVA and post hoc statistical tests showed that TGF-β1 levels in young guinea pigs were significantly higher than old guinea pigs on days 0, 7 and 14 (p<0.05). TGF-β1 levels in both young and old guinea pigs who were given olive oil was significantly higher than those not given olive oil on days 0, 7 and 14 (p<0.05). Conclusions: TGF-β1 levels in the younger age guinea pigs were higher than the older age, and olive oil could increase TGF-β1 levels in the older age guinea pigs.

Published: November 2019

Background/Aims The negative impact caused by haematopoietic stem cell transplantation still requires further investigation. This study aims to investigate the effects of this procedure on skeletal muscle strength, functional performance and fatigue sensation in the hospitalisation phase. Methods This prospective cohort study aimed to assess physical performance by measuring ventilatory muscle strength, peripheral muscle strength and fatigue in patients who underwent haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Results The sample consisted of 30 patients of both sexes (63% men) with a mean age of 48.6 ± 13.2 years. Maximal inspiratory pressure and expiratory pressure decreased by 19% and 16%, respectively (P<0.001). There was a 16% reduction in handgrip strength in the second assessment (P<0.001), as well as a reduction of 30.6% in the 30-Second Chair Stand Test (P<0.001). The fatigue test score increased exponentially (60%) (P<0.001). Individuals with worse results in the 30-Second Chair Stand Test remained hospitalised for a longer period than those with better results (P=0.024). Conclusions This study concluded that after the transplantation of haematopoietic stem cells there was a relevant reduction in the results of the applied tests, as well as an increase in fatigue.
Collaborative service delivery to address public health issues within a musculoskeletal setting: evaluation of the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body project
Authors: Holehouse Kelly , Oliver Karen , Rawlinson Gillian , Roddam Hazel 
Published: November 2019

Background/Aims There is a need for greater focus on public health and its impact on musculoskeletal conditions within healthcare delivery. Physiotherapists are well positioned to support this. Outpatient physiotherapy musculoskeletal services traditionally focus on rehabilitation and physical exercise, yet many service users require support to improve both their mental and physical health. This innovative service improvement aimed to embed integrated health promotion within musculoskeletal physiotherapy service delivery. Methods A physiotherapy-led multidisciplinary team introduced patients to other community-based support services to address wider health needs. Results Service evaluation demonstrated a high uptake of self-referral to community services, validating the potential benefit for musculoskeletal condition management. Positive patient feedback indicates that patients valued the service and were well-supported to engage with health improvement. Conclusions Musculoskeletal physiotherapy services need to consider the wider aspects of health, putting public health at the heart of musculoskeletal service delivery.

Purpose The Gartland extension-type supracondylar humerus (SCH) fracture is the most common paediatric elbow fracture. Treatment options range from nonoperative treatment (taping or casting) to operative treatments (closed reduction and percutaneous pinning or open reduction). Classification variability between surgeons is a potential contributing factor to existing controversy over treatment options for type II SCH fractures. This study investigated levels of agreement in extension-type SCH fracture classification using the modified Gartland classification system. Methods A retrospective review was conducted on 60 patients aged between two and 12 years who had sustained an extension-type SCH fracture and received operative or nonoperative treatment at a tertiary children's hospital. Baseline radiographs were provided, and surgeons were asked to classify the fractures as type I, IIA, IIB or III according to the modified Gartland classification. Respondents were then asked to complete a second round of classifications using reshuffled radiographs. Weighted kappa values were calculated to assess interobserver and intraobserver levels of agreement. Results In all, 21 paediatric orthopaedic surgeons responded to the survey and 15 completed a second round of ratings. Interobserver agreement for classification based on the Gartland criteria between surgeons was substantial with a kappa of 0.679 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.501 to 0.873). Intraobserver agreement was substantial with a kappa of 0.796, (95% CI 0.628 to 0.864) Conclusion Radiographic classification of extension-type SCH fractures demonstrated substantial agreement both between and within surgeon raters. Therefore, classification variability may not be a major contributing factor to the treatment controversy for type II SCH fractures and treatment variability may be due to differences in surgeon preferences.

The Political Economy of Cultural Memory in the Videogames Industry
Authors: Lundedal Hammar Emil 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Following the materialist approaches to contemporary digital memory- making, this article explores how unequal access to memory production in videogames is determined along economic and cultural lines. Based on semi-structured qualitative interviews with different European, Asian and North American historical game developers, I make the case for how materialist and cultural aspects of videogame development reinforce existing mnemonic hegemony and in turn how this mnemonic hegemony determines access to the production of memory- making potentials that players of videogames activate and negotiate. My interview findings illustrate how individual workers do not necessarily intend to reproduce received systems of power and hegemony, and instead how certain cultural and material relations tacitly motivate and/or marginalise workers in the videogame industries to reproduce hegemonic power relations in cultural memory across race, class and gender. Finally, I develop the argument that access to cultural production networks such as the games industry constitutes important factors that need to be taken seriously in research on cultural memory and game studies. Thus, my article investigates global power relationships, political economy, colonial legacies and cultural hegemony within the videogame industry, and how these are instantiated in individual instances of game developers.
Mapping Wikipedia’s Geolinguistic Contours

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Wikipedia is one of the predominant ways in which internet users obtain knowledge about the world. It is also one of the most important mirrors, or augmentations, of the world: it contains representations of all manner of places. However, Wikipedia’s knowledge of the world is characterised by a linguistic inequality. Although it is written in a growing number of languages, some languages are overrepresented and contribute significantly more to Wikipedia’s body of knowledge than others. This deeply affects how the world is represented on Wikipedia, and by whom: it has been shown that for many countries in the Global South, there are more articles written in English than in their respective native languages. As a result, a significant number of people are being excluded from the collective process of knowledge production, solely on the basis of their native language. Who writes these representations of local places, and for which audiences? We present early findings from the first study of Wikipedia’s geolinguistic contours. We investigate to what extent local languages are involved in the process of creating local representations. In a large-scale quantitative analysis across the almost 300 language versions of Wikipedia, we identify regions of the world where local languages such as Armenian, Catalan or Malay are dominant sources of representation for local places, and we contrast these findings with instances where representations are significantly shaped by foreign languages. Where do, and do not, we see significant amounts of local content available in local languages? Where are the most detailed local representations largely written in foreign languages, intended for foreign audiences? And what factors can explain this?

Published: November 2019

Esse texto volta-se para uma narrativa da história do Colégio de Viticultura e Enologia, criado em 1959 na cidade de Bento Gonçalves, no Rio Grande do Sul e que hoje integra o Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul. Nosso objetivo é apresentar a história da instituição escolar pontuando recortes da história de vida de Adelina Maioli, a primeira mulher a figurar entre o corpo discente do curso Técnico em Enologia. O processo metodológico perpassou a análise documental, bem como a realização de entrevista semiestruturada. Ao admitir o ingresso da primeira estudante em 1959, a instituição despertou a curiosidade sobre outras mulheres para estudarem nessa escola técnica, abrindo caminhos e possibilitando que o olhar de quem pesquisa se tornasse menos rígido sobre as janelas da história que se abrem para as relações de gênero.

A pesquisa realizada entre 2017 e 2018 buscou produzir conhecimentos que subsidiem ações voltadas à resiliência e à adaptação de sistemas socioecológicos na região semiárida do estado da Bahia - Semiárido Baiano, com foco nas Comunidades de Fundo de Pasto (CFP) localizadas no município de Uauá. Utilizaram-se dados secundários e primários (entrevistas semiestruturadas com tomadores de decisão e lideranças comunitárias). Para a sistematização dos dados primários no marco de capacidades adaptativas para mudanças climáticas foram selecionadas cinco dimensões de análise: territorial, sociocultural, ambiental, econômica e político-institucional. As CFP ocupam e usam o bioma Caatinga há cerca de 200 anos de forma comunal, com base em sistemas agrossilvopastoris. Os resultados indicaram o caráter resiliente das comunidades para lidar com os estresses climáticos nas dimensões territorial e sociocultural, a partir de processos de auto-organização em associações e na organização em redes, por meio das quais fluem conhecimentos e são tomadas decisões coletivas. Os resultados também indicaram os riscos climáticos aos quais as CFP estão expostas nas dimensões ambiental, econômica e político-institucional, com potencial para limitar capacidades adaptativas.
Naturaleza Predictiva de la Contabilidad y sus aplicaciones. Modelos de información contable prospectiva como evidencia
Authors: Aquistapace Mónica Inés 
Published: November 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es reflexionar acerca de la naturaleza o carácter predictivo de la contabilidad como disciplina, que utiliza el método científico para su estudio e investigación. Además, este trabajo se propone analizar la importancia de los sistemas contables predictivos y de los modelos de información contable prospectiva, para confirmar ese carácter. Para lograr el objetivo se inicia con el análisis de diferentes definiciones lo cual permite plantear hipótesis. Se trata de una investigación teórica, conceptual, que hace uso del método de la investigación jurídica (Pinto, 2011). Se reflexiona sobre el concepto de teorías en general y contables, continúa con una descripción sintética sobre la capacidad predictiva de algunas teorías, por un lado, y, por otro lado, los sistemas contables predictivos, incluido el sistema contable sugerido por el marco conceptual de las normas de información financiera (NIIF) en sus versión actual año 2018 y luego algunos modelos de contabilidad prospectivos. En el último apartado se analiza la influencia de la problemática epistemológica de la disciplina. En las conclusiones lo más destacado se refiere al reconocimiento de teorías contables verificadas y comunicadas, las que en sus aplicaciones prácticas le otorgan carácter predictivo a las informaciones producidas por los sistemas contables. Ese carácter es previo a las posibilidades de proyección. Además, no es lo mismo sistemas contables predictivos que modelos de información contable prospectiva. Ambos surgen a partir de una metodología científica. Sin embargo, el sistema del actual marco conceptual 2018 induce a reflexionar que la predicción es más que una característica, es un requerimiento que merece ser atendido con mayores especificaciones. Finalmente, la tradición empírica otorga mayor estatus epistemológico a los estudios comprobados en las organizaciones, lo cual implica nuevos desafíos para próximas investigaciones.

Published: November 2019

Aim. The article deals with studying the changes in binocular pupillometry to establish vegetative activity in athletes after high exercise stress. Materials and methods. 25 male athletes aged 19–34 years with no health limitations participated in the study. We estimated a set of the commonly accepted parameters of pupillometry (pupil diameter, pupil reaction initiation time, pupil constriction diameter, pupil constriction velocity) by measuring pupil reaction to a light stimulus with the help of a non-contact pupilometer (KVAZAR, Moscow). The examination was conducted prior to physical stress and 5, 15, and 30 minutes after. Intertrack-750 treadmill (SchillerAG, Switzerland) was used for testing. Results. The results obtained in a pupillometric study prove that there is a predominance of the sympathetic component in athletes at maximal load accompanied by emotional stress. After physical stress accompanied by fatigue and nervous system exhaustion, there is a pronounced predominance of the parasympathetic component. Conclusion. The data obtained prove that binocular pupillometry can be effectively used in sports medicine to estimate vegetative tone and regulatory mechanisms in athletes.

Aim. The article deals with establishing and justifying the efficiency of audiovisual stimulation for the correction of the psychoemotional status in young boxers. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the premises of Bashkir State University sports facilities during the special preparatory stage. 72 athletes aged 13–14 were examined in educational and training conditions. The diagnostics of psychodynamic characteristics in athletes was conducted every 2 days with the help of the ‘Psychophysiolog’ psychophysiological testing device. We used the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Scale and Well-Being, Activity, Mood scale (V. Doskin). Results. Audiovisual stimulation in the experimental group significantly improved the indicators of situational anxiety, well-being, activity, and mood. Conclusions. The course of audiovisual stimulation improves psychophysiological resistance to physical load, relieves excessive mental stress and premature mental fatigue, improves performance and mood. The analysis of psychodynamic characteristics in boxers with different types of the nervous system allowed to establish that athletes with a weak nervous system require 6–8 sessions of audiovisual stimulation, while athletes with a strong nervous system – 10 sessions.
