Karol Wojtyła’s Philosophy on the Issue of Modernity
Authors: Wierzbicki Alfred Marek 
Published: January 2020

Karol Wojtyła’s anthropology is characterised by a synthesis of objectivity and subjectivity, and his combination of aletheic and agapic notions. By accepting the modern anthropological turn, on the one hand, he attempted in his works a synthesis of the classic philosophy of being with the philosophy of awareness, and, on the other, he strived to correct the extreme anthropocentrism of modern thought. The author of the article analysed the relationship between Wojtyła’s concept of awareness and subjectivity with the personalistic style of John Paul II’s ministry of “man as the basic path of the Church.” The other pillar of the analysis is the question about the meaning of human freedom. In Wojtyła’s thought and in the teachings of John Paul II, any discussion of freedom as the basic property of a personal being was combined with a reflection on its ethical dimension.

Published: January 2020

Indonesian government law No. 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance (Halal Law) states that all products circulating in Indonesia must be halal-certified. The implementation of Halal Law has implications for increasing the cost of delivering beef to consumers because each seller is required to implement a process that is in accordance with Islamic law in order to obtain halal certificate. This cost will be distributed to consumers by increasing the selling price of beef that halal-certified. The aims of this study are, (1) analyze consumers' willingness to pay on halal-certified of beef, beef prices are currently very high (Rp 120,000 / kg), (2) analyze consumer awareness on halal-certified of beef. The research sample was taken in the Bogor area. The method used to analyze consumers' willingness to pay is Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), and the method for analyzing consumer awareness is Partial Least Square (PLS). The results of this study indicate two factors that significantly influence consumer awareness: religious beliefs and halal logos. The results of this study also indicate that beef consumers in Bogor area are willing to pay more than 4-6 percent for beef that is halal certified. These results indicate that consumers from the Bogor area are willing to pay more for halal-certified beef. This shows the community's support for the implementation of the Halal Law.

Authors: Temmesfeld Max Joachim , Hauksson Ingi Thor , Mørch Thale 
Published: January 2020

Case:
An 18-year-old man complained about persistent wrist pain and functional impairment due to intra-articular malunion, 1 year after volar plating of a distal radius fracture. We designed and produced patient-specific surgical guides (PSSGs) in-house with a benchtop three-dimensional printer to perform an arthroscopy-assisted intra-articular osteotomy of the radial column without dorsal arthrotomy. The procedure was performed without complications. After 1 year, there was no osteoarthritis and the patient's wrist function was practically normalized.

Conclusions:
Virtual surgical planning, design, and production of PSSGs were feasible without consultation of an external medical engineering company and without dorsal arthrotomy.

Authors: Bassora Rocco , Namdari Surena , Beharrie Andrew W. , Inzerillo Vito Christopher , Abboud Joseph A. 
Published: January 2020

Case:
A 58-year-old woman underwent successful reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for a proximal humerus fracture. Three years later, she sustained a periprosthetic humerus fracture after a fall and was treated conservatively. She healed with an abundance of callus and subsequently developed delayed-onset radial nerve palsy at 3 months, despite minimal change in humeral alignment and avoidance of the use of any compressive external braces or splints.

Conclusions:
Minimally displaced periprosethetic humerus fractures can lead to delayed radial nerve palsy from callus entrapment, and there should be increased awareness of this potential complication when counseling and treating patients conservatively.
Restoration of Global Sagittal Alignment After Surgical Correction of Cervical Hyperlordosis in a Patient with Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy
Authors: Diebo Bassel G. , Shah Neil V. , Messina James C. , Naziri Qais , Post Nicholas H. , Riew K. Daniel , Paulino Carl B. 
Published: January 2020

Case:
We report a rare cervical hyperlordotic deformity in a 19-year-old woman with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and concomitant scoliosis. After standard posterolateral instrumentation and fusion of C2-T1 and extensive soft-tissue release, her neck pain improved and unassisted maintenance of cervical alignment and horizontal gaze were preserved through an 8-year follow-up. More importantly, she exhibited reciprocal correction of compensatory global sagittal malalignment, including lumbar lordosis.

Conclusions:
This case highlights the importance of full-spine analysis for all patients with spinal deformity to identify and differentiate primary driver(s) of deformity from compensatory mechanisms to individualize treatment toward what truly drives the patient's disability.
Soft-Tissue Balancing Technology for Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Siddiqi Ahmed , Smith Tyler , McPhilemy John J. , Ranawat Amar S. , Sculco Peter K. , Chen Antonia F. 
Published: January 2020

» Improperly balanced total knee arthroplasties are at increased risk for complications including residual pain and/or instability, which are often corrected by a revision surgical procedure.» Because of the morbidity and financial burden associated with revision total knee arthroplasty, different technological applications, such as tibial insert sensors and computer-assisted gap balancing, are being used to assist with soft-tissue balancing during primary total knee arthroplasty.» Computer-assisted gap balancing increases the accuracy of mechanical alignment and improves the precision of balancing flexion and extension gaps during total knee arthroplasty. It is unclear whether this translates to improved short-term or long-term outcome measures. Considerations of this technology include increased cost, increased operative time, and a steep learning curve.» Intraoperative sensors increase the accuracy of balancing by quantifying the mediolateral intercompartmental load distribution through the range of motion, which may lead to improved outcome scores, patient satisfaction, higher activity levels, and decreased pain. The advantages of this technology compared with computer assistance include decreased cost and no disruption of operative time or workflow. Limited availability with constrained implants, limited implant choices, and a lack of long-term follow-up data have reduced utilization of intraoperative sensors.» Computer-assisted gap balancing and intraoperative sensors are not yet universally accepted, and the cost-benefit ratio associated with their use remains a consideration in today’s cost-conscious health-care environment. Future research should focus on longer-term follow-up to evaluate implant survivorship, cost-effectiveness, and clinical outcomes.
Non-occlusive distal duodenal and proximal jejunal necrosis – a case report
Authors: Żyluk Andrzej , Jagielski Wojciech , Piotuch Bernard 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The article presents a case of isolated, non-occlusive necrosis of the distal duodenum and proximal jejunum in an elderly patient, burdened with chronic obstructive lung disease, but without concomitant vascular or gastrointestinal disease. Diagnostic investigations included endoscopy and angio-CT. Surgery was peformed and treatment comprised resection of the necrotic parts of the duodenum and jejunum, followed by gastro-jejuno anastomosis and pyloroplasty. Post-operative course was complicated by upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding from multiple gastric ulcers, developed due to duodenal juice reflux into the stomach. The bleeding was successfully controlled by intensive conservative treatment with a proton pump inhibitor and somatostatin. Unfortunately, further complications developed, including urinary tract infection, respiratory failure, and sepsis, which eventually caused patient death in the intensive care unit, 2 months after the operation.

Laparoscopic Small Bowel Resection And Anastmosis For Small Proximal Jejunal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Presented With Acute Massive Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Case report and Literature review
Authors: ahmad khaled S , Essa Mohamed S , Alenazi Naif A 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is the most common primary nonepithelial neoplasms of the gastointestinal tract, mostly expressing the KIT protein determined by immunohistochemical staining for the CD117 antigen. Jejunal GISTs represent approximately 10% of all GISTs. Abdominal discomfort is the usual presentation. Jejunal GISTs may present with complications such as intestinal obstruction or hemorrhage. Gastrointestinal bleeding occurs due to pressure necrosis and ulceration of overlying mucosa, and patients who develop significant bleeding may suffer from fatigue and malaise. Small-bowel GISTs are classified based on size, and several guidelines have recommended conservative treatment for small jejunal GISTs (<2 cm).Case presentation In this report, we describe a 35-year-old male, with a jejunal GIST, who presented with an unusual massive lower GI bleeding. After resuscitation extensive work up, he was taken finally for a diagnostic laparoscopy and resection of the mass.Conclusion Small intestinal GISTs are rare and unusual to present with massive lower GI bleeding.
Improvement in attention following surgery treatment in pituitary adenoma patients: an evidence from ERP study
Authors: Cao Chenglong , Song Jian , Huang Yujing , Liu Binbin , Wang Yu , Xu Guozheng 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background: Cognitive abilities are impaired in patients with pituitary adenoma, which are mostly treated with surgery. However, the study on neurocognitive recovery after transsphenoidal adenomectomy is lacking. The study aims to identify the electrophysiological change that relates to the attention function of pituitary adenoma patients after treatment.
Methods: 27 preoperative pituitary patients and 25 follow up postoperative patients were recruited. 27 healthy controls (HCs) were matched to the patients with age, sex, and education. All the pituitary adenoma patients had successfully gone through transsphenoidal adenomectomy under microscope or endoscope. Event-related potentials were used to investigate the cognitive processes of attention for preoperative patients, postoperative patients and healthy controls. In addition, eyesight and blood hormone levels were examined. Six months after surgery, blood hormone levels, pituitary MRI and electrophysiological tests were re-examined.
Results: Across three groups, all emotional stimuli could evoke P200 components. Compared with HCs or postoperative patients, the amplitudes of P200 in the preoperative patients were higher. Moreover, The amplitude of P200 decreased in postoperative patients, which was similar to that in HCs. The attention was improved after surgery, but no significant differences were detected between postoperative patients and HCs.
Conclusion: The tumor mass effect and abnormal hormone may be relevant to the factors that impair the attention. Compared with that of the HCs and postoperative patients, the P200 component elicited by negative stimuli is higher in preoperative patients, which is associated with the attention impairments. Furthermore, these data indicate the improvement in attention may be attributed to the tumor resection and the amelioration of endocrine disorders. This study shows that P200 component can be used to diagnose the attention in preoperative pituitary patients, and prove the improvement of the attention in postoperative patients.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background In 2014, in Brussels, a group of undocumented migrant workers started a hunger strike. A loophole in Belgian migration law allows very sick people to stay in the country to recuperate. Undocumented migrants jeopardize their health to be able to obtain a temporary permit and a way out of misery. The monitoring of the hunger strike was done by young, committed but inexperienced health professionals.Methods At the end of the hunger strike, two focus groups were held to find out the dilemmas confronting the health professionals.Results Eighteen out of 29 health professionals participated. They mentioned their curiosity to gain new insights into living conditions among undocumented people and the reasons why they started the strike. They were puzzled by the paradox of wanting to die to get a better life and refusing medical advice. They wondered about their role and commitment as a caregiver. Some were deeply touched by the experience and reacted emotionally while others deepened their engagement. Symptoms of Secondary Traumatic Stress, such as re-experiencing and avoidance were observed. The participants themselves also proposed improvements to the monitoring. Conclusions Even though only a small number of health professionals were questioned, we detected a lot of preoccupations and contradictions in their reactions. To be able to process these a close follow-up and evaluation of the monitoring of a hunger strike is mandatory. We also propose that prevention, early detection and treatment of Secondary Traumatic Stress should become part of formal medical education.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background: Clinical placements are of paramount importance to medical radiology technology students, as it allows them to acquire the necessary skills to be successful technologists. The main objective of this study was to assess the challenges faced by students, instructors, and technologists during the clinical placements of radiology technology students at four College of Health Sciences-affiliated hospitals. Method: A qualitative approach using focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews was used to explore the challenges experienced by students, instructors, and technologists during the clinical placements of medical radiology technology students from Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. Twenty-two radiology technology students in the Department of Radiography took part in the study from an available pool of 73 students. In addition, seven out of the 19 available instructors was interviewed. Two technologists from each affiliated hospital were also selected for face-to-face interviews. A categorization approach was used to analyze the data with the goal of identifying core themes. Results: Our qualitative analysis led to the identification of nine themes from the focus group discussion and face-to-face interviews. From the students’ and instructors’ points of view, love of profession, transportation services, clinical supervision, theory-practice gap, hands-on practice, imaging modalities, availability of a skills lab, insufficient practicing area, and curriculum were considered as important factors in the clinical placement experience. Conclusion: This research showed students and instructors faced many challenges during the clinical placements of radiology technology students from Addis Ababa University, and these challenges may significantly affect the future performance of these students as technologists.Keywords: Clinical placement; health professional instructors; radiologic technologist; Ethiopia; health sciences; hospital practice; challenges
Lithium chloride enhances osteoblast differentiation and resists senile osteoporosis
Authors: Bao Yizhong , Lv Xiaoling , Tang Ying , Ru Xuanliang , Wang Jirong , Yan Jing 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background Lithium chloride (LiCl) is commonly used in the clinic for the treatment of bipolar and other mental disorders. LiCl is an inhibitor of GSK-3β, and has been reported to modulate the balance of adipogenesis and osteogenesis. But, whether LiCl impacts bone formation and homeostasis in senile osteoporosis is still unclear. Methods Analysis of tibia in 2, 5, 7 and 10 months old C57BL/6 male mice were performed by MicroCT (μCT). 7 months old wild-type mice were treated with LiCl orally 0, 100 or 200 mg/kg for 3 months and then tested by μCT. The levels of osteogenesis marker genes and Wnt signaling target genes in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunostaining. BMSCs were induced osteoblast differentiation and tested by Alizarin red S staining. Results μCT analyses of C57BL/6 mice showed that bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) increased until the bone mass peaked (5 months) and then began to fall subsequently. LiCl dramatically enhanced bone mass in the senile osteoporotic conditions, represented by increased ratio of bone volume to tissue volume (BV/TV), and decreased in trabeculae separation (Tb.Sp). Moreover, LiCl significantly increased both canonical osteoblastogenesis and Wnt signaling activity without affecting hormones. Conclusion This study uncovered the role of LiCl in canonical Wnt signaling and bone formation and have provided the evidence that LiCl may potentially repress senile osteoporosis.
Environmental Application of Agro-waste Derived Materials for the Treatment of Dye-polluted Water: A Review
Authors: Mashkoor Fouzia , Nasar Abu 
Published: January 2020

Background:
The extensive industrialization and unrestricted development of dyeutilizing
industries coupled with the shortage of proper effluent treatment methods have increased the
water pollution. Disposal of dyes in a natural water system is a severe worldwide concern owing to
the harmful effects on the ecosystem. Among the available wastewater treatment methods, adsorption
is considered as a promising alternative in the elimination of dyes.

Methods:
There are a variety of ways for the modification of agro-waste, such as (i) acid modification
(ii) alkali modification, (iii) surfactant modification, and (iv) preparation of activated carbon, etc.
Moreover, numerous techniques have been used for the characterization of modified agro-waste,
such as, SEM/EDAX, TEM, BET, TGA, and FTIR.

Results:
From the literature study, it was observed that the adsorption efficiency of various modified
agro-waste is reliant on the nature of the adsorbent materials and different batch parameters, such as
initial dye concentration, solution pH, adsorbent dose, and temperature of the system. In this way,
these components must be thought about while evaluating the elimination of dye using various agrobased
adsorbents.

Conclusion:
Modification of agricultural waste usually improved the adsorption capacity of adsorbents
due to an escalation in the number of active adsorbing sites, enhancement in the porosity, increase
in the surface area, and generation of new functional groups that favor the removal of dye
from wastewater. Agro-waste materials being inexpensive, abundant, and renewable can be effectively
exploited for the confiscation of dye from aqueous media.

Authors: Dalcol Ionara I. , Pereira Alessandra O. , Paz Luisa H. , Benetti Gabriela , Siqueira Fallon S. , Campos Marli M.A. , Ethur Eduardo M. , Morel Ademir F. 
Published: January 2020

Background:
Aristolochia triangularis Cham., popularly known as the "cipó-milhomens",
"angelicó" and "ypê-mi", is applied for the treatment of wounds, skin diseases
(6,7), digestive and circulatory system diseases as an antipyretic and for malaria fever also.

Objective:
In this work, we investigated the chemical composition, the antimicrobial and antimycobacterial
activities of the Essential Oils (EOs) extracted from A. triangularis fresh stems and leaves
collected in Southern Brazil.

Methods:
Fresh stems and fresh leaves of Aristolochia triangularis Cham. were separately subjected
to hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. The chemical composition of the Essential
Oils (EOs) was analyzed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The oil samples
were evaluated for their antimycobacterial, antibacterial and antifungal activities against twenty-four
microorganisms.

Results:
Hydrodistillation of fresh stems and leaves of A. triangularis resulted in 0.16% (w/w) and
0.37% (w/w) of light-yellow oils, respectively. Germacrene D was found in 13.2 - 13.5% in both the
EOs. The constituent most abundant in the stems EO (19.18%) was the oxygenated diterpene ent-
Kaur-16-en-19-al (10), along with E-nerolidol (17.89%). The main constituents of the leaves EO
were bicyclogermacrene (24.79%), β-elemene (11.30%), E-caryophyllene (10.40%) and germacrene
A (9.42%), in addition to the previously mentioned germacrene D. The stems and leaves EOs
showed capacity to inhibit the Gram-negative Enterobacter aerogenes and the stems EO showed the
capacity to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, with MIC values of 31.2 μg/mL. S. aureus was found to
be moderately sensitive to leaves EO, while stems EO displayed moderate activity against Enterococcus
faecalis and Salmonella typhimurium (MIC values of 62.5 μg/mL). Candida glabrata was
highly susceptible to both EOs (MIC values < 3.9 μg/mL). The EOs showed moderate potential to
inhibit the growth of Cryptococcus gatti and Cryptococcus neoformans (MICs of 62.5 μg/mL).

Conclusion:
The A. triangularis essential oils from stems and leaves displayed the capacity to inhibit
Enterobacter aerogenes (MIC values of 31.2 μg/mL) and high antifungal effect against Candida
glabrata (MIC values of <3.9 μg/mL). Mycobacterium massiliense and M. abscessus were susceptible
to the leaves EO, with MICs of 39.06 μg/mL. These results showed the potential of A. triangularis
essential oils as antifungal and antimycobacterial agents to be used in the development of new
antibiotics.
