TL 18096 - Biomechanical comparison of plantar-to-dorsal and dorsal-to-plantar screw fixation strength for subtalar arthrodesis
Authors: Godoy-Santos Alexandre Leme , Chaudhari Nileshkumar , Rodriguez Ramon , Dun Shouchen , Netto Cesar de Cesar , Shah Ashish 
Published: November 2019

Introduction: Arthrodesis of the subtalar joint is performed for various arthritic and instability problems to correct alignment and relieve pain. Use of compression screws is the most common fixation method. Screws may be oriented from dorsal to plantar or plantar to dorsal. Arguments favoring one approach over another are based more on “expert opinion” than on hard data. Methods: Eight matched pairs of cadaver feet underwent subtalar joint arthrodesis with two 7.3-mm cannulated screws. Randomization was used to assign the screw orientation, such that one foot in each pair was assigned dorsal to the plantar screw orientation (DP group), with the other foot plantar to the dorsal orientation (PD group). The standard surgical technique with fluoroscopy was used for each approach. Following fixation, each specimen was loaded to failure with a Bionix 858 MTS device, applying a downward axial force at a distance to create torque. Torque to failure was compared between DP and PD groups using the Student’s T-test, with p = 0.05 used to determine statistical significance. Results: The statistical analysis demonstrated that the mean torque to failure slightly favored the DP group (37.3 N-m) compared with the PD group (32.2 N-m). However, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.55). Conclusion: In subtalar arthrodesis, there is no significant difference in construct strength between the dorsal-to-plantar and plantar-to-dorsal screw orientation. The approach chosen by the surgeon should be based on factors other than the biomechanical strength of the screw orientation.

Published: November 2019

Introduction: The prevalence of untreated congenital clubfoot among children older than walking age is higher in developing countries due to limited resources for early care after birth. The Ponseti method represents an interventional option for older, untreated children. Methods: A metanalysis was conducted of observational studies selected through a systematic review of articles included in electronic databases (Medline, Scopus, Embase, Lilacs, and the Cochrane Library) until June 2017. A pooling analysis of proportions with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and a publication bias assessment were performed as routine. Estimates of success, recurrence, and complication rates were weighted and pooled using the random effects model. Results: Twelve studies, including 654 feet diagnosed with congenital clubfoot in children older than walking age (older than 1 year old), were included for analysis. The rate of satisfactory outcomes found via a cluster metanalysis of proportions using the random effects model was 89% (95% CI = 0.82-0.94, p < 0.01) relative to the total analyzed. The recurrence rate was 18% (95% CI = 0.14-0.24, p = 0.015), and the rate of casting complications was 7% (95% CI = 0.03-0.15, p = 0.19). Conclusion: Application of the Ponseti method in children with untreated idiopathic clubfoot older than walking age leads to satisfactory outcomes, has a low cost, and avoids surgical procedures that are likely to cause complications. The obtained results exhibited considerable heterogeneity

Published: November 2019

Introduction: The surgical treatment of hallux valgus presents several techniques described in the literature. Recently, the percutaneous technique has appeared as a less invasive option in the correction of the deformity and is increasingly used by surgeons. Methods: A meta-analysis was performed using studies discovered by the systematic review of articles included in electronic databases (Medline, Scopus, Embase and the Cochrane Library) until June 2018 (Systematic Review Registry PROSPERO: CRD42018096613). A pooling analysis was synthesized from clinical outcomes such as the visual analogue scale of pain (VAS) and AOFAS score, radiographic outcomes and evaluation of complications. Results: Two studies, including 137 feet with a hallux valgus diagnosis were added to the analysis, comparing open surgery using the Scarf and Akin (SA) technique versus percutaneous Chevron and Akin (PECA). In the synthesis of the results, pain in the perioperative period was lower in the PECA group, with a reduction of 1.68 points in the fixed effect model (95% CI = -2.09 a -1.27, p < 0.01, i2 = 87%, t2 = 0.60). There were no differences between techniques in the radiographic results or in the risk of complications. The PECA technique demonstrated a longer radioscopy time compared with SA. Conclusion: Use of the PECA method to correct hallux valgus compared with the open SA technique demonstrated less pain in the perioperative period, a similar potential for radiographic correction and an equal risk of complications, with a longer radioscopy time.

Introduction: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is one of the common reasons for foot pain and is associated with substantial health and economic burden. PF often responds to a wide range of therapies that are predominantly conservative. We performed a meta-analysis to investigate the effects of low-level laser therapy on pain and disability in patients with PF. Methods: Studies were comprehensively searched in Pubmed MEDLINE, the PEDro database, the Scientific Electronic Library Online, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, from the earliest date available to January 2019. Randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effects of low-level laser therapy versus control or another intervention for patients with PF were included. Mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 test. Calculations were performed using a random effects model, with two comparisons: low-level laser therapy compared with the control (no intervention); low-level laser therapy compared with extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Results: Eight trials met the study criteria, including 473 PF patients. The main outcomes included changes from baseline in the Visual Analogue Scale Score (pain) and Foot Function Index (disability). Low-level laser therapy resulted in improvement in pain MD (-2.27 95% CI: -2.72 to -1.82 N=184) compared with the control. No significant difference in disability MD (-1.81 95% CI: -7.4 to 3.8 N=110) was found in participants in the low-level laser therapy group compared with the control group. Compared with extracorporeal shock wave therapy, low-level laser therapy did not achieve a significant reduction in pain intensity MD (0.45 95% CI: -2.4 to 3.3 N=141). In addition, no serious adverse events were reported. Conclusion: Low-level laser therapy may improve pain and should be considered as a component of care for PF patients. However, this superiority disappeared when it was compared to extracorporeal shock wave therapy.

Published: November 2019

Introduction: Metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis (MTPA) is a surgical technique indicated for the treatment of hallux rigidus with advanced arthrosis and for rheumatic diseases. This classic surgery is widely used and effective; however, the use of a minimally invasive technique remains mostly unknown.
Objective: To present the outcome of MTPA performed using a percutaneous technique. Methods: Hallux MTPA was performed in 8 feet from 4 patients with hallux rigidus and 4 with rheumatoid arthritis, with a higher prevalence of women than men (5 vs. 3) and a mean postoperative follow-up time of 1.5 years. The outcomes were evaluated using a modified version of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) questionnaire and the union time. Results: All patients who underwent surgery showed improvements in pain and arthrodesis union at approximately 8 weeks. The mean AOFAS score increased to 85 points (of a total of 90 possible points). There were no complications, such as infection, nonunion or persistent pain. Conclusion: The percutaneous technique of hallux MTPA was effective, with satisfactory outcomes, reduced surgical invasiveness, immediate walking, rapid union with “arthrodesis take” and significant improvement in pain. However, a larger sample is required to confirm the outcomes.

Star anise (Illicium verum Hook. f.) is an important herb in traditional Chinese medicine as well as traditional Asian medicine. The fruit is aromatic and has a strong, pungent and mildly sweet taste. Star anise is one of the many species that contain bioactive compounds as well as a number of phenolic and flavonoid compounds, having antioxidant, preservative and antimicrobial properties. All relevant papers in the English language from researchers of different countries were collected. The keywords of Chinese star anise, anise, traditional Chinese medicine and modern pharmaceutical science were searched in Google Scholar, Scopus, Research Gate and PubMed. Its seeds are good source of minerals like calcium, iron, copper, potassium, manganese, zinc, and magnesium. The essential oil of Chinese star anise contains anethole which has shown several functional properties including antimicrobial, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and oestrogenic properties. Due to all positive characteristics, such as antidiabetic, hypolipidemic, antioxidant activities, anticancer and antimicrobial properties, both seeds and essential oils of anise is promising for safe use as super food supplements and raw constituents in the both pharmaceutical and food industries. Anise seed oil contains anethol, estragole, eugenol, pseudisoeugenol, methyl chavicol and anisaldehyde, coumarins, scopoleting, umbelliferon, estrols, terpene hydrocarbons, and polyacetylenes as the major compounds. The plant oil has both pharmacological and clinical effects. The pharmacological effects consist of antimicrobial, hepatopreotective, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, bronchodilator, estrogenic, expectorant and insecticidal effects, and clinical effects such as nausea, constipation, menopausal period, virus, diabetes, obesity and sedative action. Combined with a nutritious diet, other traditional Chinese and Asian medicine, Chinese star anise and ansie seed may improve various aspects of health. More clinical studies are necessary to uncover the numerous substances and their effects in ginseng that contribute to public health.

Published: November 2019

Gladiolus is high demandable and popular flower all over the world. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of plant spacing and corm size on growth and spike production of gladiolus. The two factor experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Three plant spacing like S1= 25×20 cm, S2= 20×30 cm and S3= 25×30 cm and corm size like L1=Small corm, (30±2 g), L2=Medium corm (35±2 g), L3=Large corm (>40g) were maintained to investigate the study. Plant spacing and corm size had significant effect on days to 80% emergence, plant height, number of leaves, days required for first spike initiation, spike length, rachis length, number of florets per spike and weight of spike. The highest number of plant height (74.61 cm), maximum number of leaves (7.98), top most length of spike (70.00), utmost rachis length (48.77 cm), largest number of florets per spike (14.33) and maximum weight of spike (35.60) were obtained from the plant spacing 25x30cm and largest corm size > 40g. Therefore, the results of the present study revealed that widest plant spacing 25×30 cm and large corm (>40g) were found to be the best for growth of spike production of gladiolus.

From the History of Religions to the Study of Religion in Denmark: An Essay on the Subject, Organizational History and Research Themes
Authors: Jensen Tim , Geertz Armin W. 
Published: November 2019

The history of the academic study of religion in Denmark resembles developments in other Nordic and European countries as it has moved from a primarily historical-philological and comparative ‘history of religions’ towards a broader ‘study of religion(s)’ that includes history of religions together with theories and methods from a wide variety of the human, social and today also natural sciences. Uppsala University was one of the three main centers of positivism at the end of the 19th century, and its influence was evident and long-lasting also in Denmark. By the end of the 1970s, debates and reflections on methods and theories slowly began to have a greater impact, and from the mid-80s and especially mid-90s, also due to conscious efforts not least in Aarhus, methodological issues gained in importance. A turn towards contemporary religion also became evident. Today it may be claimed that a kind of balance has been achieved whereby historical and empirical studies of religions go hand in hand with theoretical and methodological reflections, and where a balance between, on the one hand, more classical comparative history of religions materials and approaches, and, on the other hand, new and different areas of research, and new and different approaches and theories are of equal importance. With regard to individual research, research programs, and study programs, the history of the history of religions in Denmark cannot be described in detail here. This article presents the broad picture of important developments within and across the three Danish universities that have study of religion departments. Although the early histories are briefly touched upon, the focus will be on the past 50 years, from about 1960 until 2014, thus roughly the same period that Temenos has been in existence.
Folkloristic Contributions towards Religious Studies in Estonia: A Historical Outline
Authors: Valk Ülo 
Published: November 2019

The article outlines the historical development of the study of folk religion and mythology in Estonian scholarship. It shows how the changing ideological and political context and formation of folkloristics as an autonomous discipline have shaped the construction of its object – Estonian folk religion. The roots of conceptualizing folk religion as an inherited set of survivals of heathendom lies on the one hand in the systematic work of the Lutheran Church in strengthening the Christian worldview by eradicating superstitions. On the other hand, the ideology of national awakening depicted Estonian folklore as a huge and valuable reservoir of pre-Christian traditions, including the oldest survivals of Finno-Ugric cultural heritage. Later, during the period of Soviet occupation, Marxist evolutionary views contributed towards considering folk religion as an archaic form in human development; in addition, anti-clerical ideology reinforced a stereotype of the people’s adherence to their indigenous religion and contrasting this with Christianity as an alien ideology of oppression. The last part of the article discusses scholarship after the re-establishment of Estonia’s independence in 1991, as the former ideological framework slowly faded away and new conceptual developments emerged.
