Outcome of severe fixed-flexion deformity of the knee managed by ring fixator
Authors: Zayda Ahmed I. 
Published: November 2021

Objective
The aim was to assess the effectiveness of gradual correction of severe flexion deformity of the knee by Ilizarov fixator.

Background
Acute correction of severe knee-flexion contractures (KFC) with soft-tissue release, osteotomy, or both may lead to serious complications. In contrast, gradual correction of KFC, a circular frame, and a constrained hinge, avoids acute stretch injury to soft tissues, with a low recurrence rate.

Patients and methods
Between March 2011 and February 2017, 16 patients with 21 affected knees included 12 male and four female patients, the age ranged from 4 to 58 years, and mean (20.81 years), unilateral in 11 patients, and bilateral in five patients. The etiology was maltreated deep burns in two patients, four patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, one had systemic lupus erythematosis, two had poliomyelitis, two complicated femoral lengthening, two had fibular hemimelia, complicated trauma in one case, and septic arthritis in two patients. Only gradual correction by Ilizarov fixator was used, except in one case where additional corrective osteotomy was done for hyperextended distal femur.

Results
The mean duration of the fixator was 3.9 months (range: 3–8 months). The follow-up period ranged from 4 to 48 months after frame removal with a mean of 10.8 months. Extension range significantly increases from the mean of −83°, to a mean of −4.7° at late follow-up (P<0.05). Mean flexion range was 35.9° that improved at late follow-up to a mean of 63.3°. The arc of motion postoperative was nearly the same of the preoperative with a mild increase. Two cases had recurrence of the KFC (15°) and knee subluxation, four cases had reversible excessive arthodiastasis of the knee joint, and two cases had epiphyseal injury in proximal tibia during the early stages of correction of the deformity.

Conclusion
Gradual distraction of the contracted tissues around the knee joint by Ilizarov fixator is a highly efficient and safe method that can address all components of intractable severe flexion contracture of the knee joint whatever the etiology of the deformity. There is a significant increase in the extension range and low recurrence rate compared with any other treatment method converting a nonambulant patient to an active ambulant one with a low complication rate.

Authors: Shashikumar BM , Harish MR , Deepadarshan K , Kavya M , Mukund P , Kirti P 
Published: November 2021

Background:
Confluent and reticulate papillomatosis (CRP) is an uncommon benign, acquired keratinization disorder. Studies on this disorder are lacking except for a few case reports and there is a paucity of Indian literature on the condition.

Objectives/Methods:
To study and describe the various morphological patterns and histopathological findings, as well as assess the response to treatment of 30 patients diagnosed with CRP.

Results:
Thirtypatients with a diagnosis of confluent and reticulate papillomatosis were included in the study. The male to female ratio was 1:1.5. Mean age at onset of skin eruptions was 27.3 years and mean duration of skin eruptions was 8.2 months. Most of the patients (60%) were asymptomatic. The majority (66.7%) had lesions distributed over upper trunk. Two-thirds of patients had typical brown macules in confluent and reticulate pattern. KOH mount was done in 24 cases and was positive in three cases (12.5%) for yeast-like hyphae. Biopsy demonstrated variable degrees of hyperkeratosis, papillomatosis, and moderate acanthosis. Thirteen out of eighteenpatients on minocycline showed complete clearance within 3 weeks andthreepatients had more than 50% improvement at the end of 3 weeks. Doxycycline showed satisfactory response but results were less satisfactory with azithromycin.

Conclusion:
CRP is an uncommon condition. There is a paucity of large studies in Indian literature. The present study highlightssuch a large cohort of cases. Prevalence of CRP was more in female in contrast to western studies. Association of CRP with hyperthyroidism was described in many studies but the present study highlights the association with hypothyroidism. Morphological variants like shiny atrophic lesions, verrucous lesions, and involvement of atypical sites like forearm have been described. Role of minocycline in the management of chronic and recurrent cases has been reinforced.

Published: November 2021

Context:
Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder characterized histologically by noncaseating granulomas. There is paucity of Indian data on cutaneous sarcoidosis.

Aims:
To describe the clinical, histopathological findings, and extracutaneous involvement in cutaneous sarcoidosis.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective study was done in patients of cutaneous sarcoidosis who had attended the dermatology clinic of a tertiary health care center in India from May 2009 to April 2015. The clinical details, histopathological findings, treatment, and response were reviewed.

Results:
There were 38 patients with cutaneous sarcoidosis. Mean age was 48 ± 13 years; 58% were female. Median duration of disease was 11 months (IQR 4–48 months). More than one morphology was seen in 28.9%, commonest being plaques (65.7%), and papules (50%). Erythema nodosum was rare. More than one site was involved in 55.3%, most commonly trunk (52.6%). Six patients had isolated cutaneous sarcoidosis. Commonest extracutaneous organs involved were lung (73.7%) and lymph nodes (68.4%). Histopathologically, classical naked sarcoidal granulomas were found in only 55.3%. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) levels were elevated in 74.3% (26/35) with significant association with extracutaneous disease. Treatment included topical and/or systemic corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, and tacrolimus.

Statistics:
Pearson's Chi-square test was done to analyze associations between the skin lesions, ACE levels, and systemic involvement; P < 0.05 was considered significant.

Conclusions:
Cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis are varied, commonest being erythematous plaques. Even though most patients had systemic involvement, we found no significant association of the type and number of skin lesions with extracutaneous involvement or prognosis. Elevated ACE levels were significantly associated with systemic involvement.

Las redes sociales han venido a revolucionar la forma de consumo de información pero también la forma en la que el periodismo se adapta a nuevos públicos y a nuevas maneras de acceder a esa información. Para conocer cómo se utilizan estas aplicaciones sociales desde dentro de los medios, se confeccionó un cuestionario, desde la perspectiva de género, que se aplicó a los profesionales de los medios de comunicación del País Vasco diferenciando entre grupos de edades, haciendo especial hincapié en las generaciones centenials y milenials. Los resultados de las más de 500 encuestas nos muestran un panorama donde el uso de las redes sociales está plenamente asentado en las redacciones de los medios de comunicación pero donde no encontramos especiales sesgos generacionales en el uso de las principales herramientas sociales. Por su parte, las mujeres periodistas son las que emplean mayoritariamente las redes sociales y las más utilizadas son Twitter, Facebook e Instagram en detrimento de otras como Telegram, Linkedin o diferentes recursos audiovisuales. El desconocimiento y la desconfianza son las principales causas de la primacía de unas sobre otras.
Smart fire monitoring system for a city: design and development
Authors: Sansolis Evans , Dumpit Karen Alinor , Feliprada Cheryl Ann 
Published: November 2021

All Fire Alarm Systems essentially operate on the same fundamental principle and framework. It provides audible and visual alarm signals. An alarm is raised if a sensor detects smoke or heat, warns people that there may be a fire, and evacuate the premises immediately. Consequently, concerned individuals may call the fire department to mitigate the emergency at which, at this point of time, the firefighter's Emergency Respond Time (ERT) is vital. ERT is one of the contributing factors to how much fire will consume lives and, or properties. In worst cases, an entire building turns into ashes, lives taken because of a slow ERT. Then there are these casual "false-alarms" caused by the false-positive readings of the installed Fire Alarm Systems. These false alarms cause mass panic and consume firefighters' valuable time and resources. The instances mentioned above are a few reasons why there is a need to implement an efficient city-wide fire alarm system.
This study focused on the design, development and testing of a wide-area Smart Fire Monitoring System comprised of major parts, the devices and the system software. Specifically, this study aimed to develop a smart fire alarm device using the Agile Prototyping Methodology (APM) and employ Agile Software Development Methodology (ASDM) for the development of the Smart Fire Monitoring System Software (SFMSS). For the development of the smart fire alarm device, the proponents assembled necessary sensors, electrical components, microcontrollers, and other electrical modules to create a working smart fire alarm device that abled to detect smoke; detect temperature spikes; detect the existence of fire; broadcast a GPS coordinates to the fire department; transmit and receive data through RF signals using long-range radio frequency (RF) module and SMS technology; and, be functional and operational under Low Power mode. Concomitant with this device is its system software, SFMSS, to manage and process the broadcasted data. SFMSS is a centralized system developed for the fire department to monitor the city for a fire outbreak. SFMSS continuously communicates with the fire alarm devices to autonomously monitor fire presence via radio frequency and process SMS notifications containing GPS coordinates, convert them into a readable address, and plot it in a city map in the event of a fire emergency. The proponents conducted a Stress and Reliability Test on the smart fire alarm device and Product Evaluation for Quality, Efficiency, and Usability with the Bureau of Fire Protection Region 6 for the entirety of the system.
THE GEOLOGICAL ROLE OF THE SEARCH METHOD "WILD CAT WELLS" IN THE STUDY OF THE HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL
OF THE PRIPYAT TROUGH
Authors: Gribik Yaroslav G. 
Published: November 2021

The results of geological exploration for oil within the Elsky, Shatilkovsky, Savichsky and Petrikovsko-Shestovichsky sections of the Pripyat trough are analyzed. The analysis covers almost 70 years from the drilling of the first exploratory wells laid by the "wild cat" method to the modern comprehensive justification. During the analyzed period, from 12 to 23 deep wells were drilled with a total penetration of 42.3 thousand meters to 68.3 thousand meters in each section. The initial stage of work after the first oil inflow is characterized by a higher activity of drilling new exploratory wells, justified by the methods available at that time. The negative result of exploratory drilling in certain areas is also
due to the significant fragmentation of the intrasalt perspective horizons and the areal unevenness of reservoir layers in
the subsalt complex. Within the boundaries of the sites, deposits with recoverable oil reserves of no more than 450 thousand
tons are established, which can be determined as a low economic efficiency of prospecting operations. However, the work has played a positive role in determining real models of hydrocarbon traps for use in the study of other sites.
STATE OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS WITHIN THE ECOLOGICAL CORRIDOR OF THE ORDER II (THE MYSHKA RIVER VALLEY, MINSK)

Published: November 2021

This article presents an assessment of the state of natural environment components (water, bottom sediments, soil and vegetation) within the valley complex of the Myshka River (Minsk). It is shown that in modern conditions, despite significant anthropogenic transformation, the valley complex retains a high potential for performing the necessary functions as an ecological corridor of the order II. The vegetation of the Myshka floodplain steadily retains its specificity due to the stable hydrological regime. Natural complexes here have a high ecological and recreational value. The section of the river in the middle course is in a more favorable condition, where the flow is better and the floodplain is represented by reserve green areas. A less favorable state is inherent in residual water bodies with disturbed flow in the upper course of the river, where the valley is mostly represented by areas of residential and public buildings. The river
experiences the greatest load at the mouth – in the area above and below the outlet of surface wastewater treatment facilities. Here the river cannot cope with the anthropogenic load, the assimilation potential is 11–12 points, polyelement anomalies of oil products, cadmium, lead, copper and zinc are formed in the bottom sediments.
The area of the Myshka River valley, located in a low riverbed floodplain, has a most polluted soils. Here, a pedogeochemical anomaly from an association of elements, including petroleum products, cadmium, nickel, zinc, lead, copper,
and manganese.

Erosion fluviale et mutations morphométriques du drainage dans le secteur aval du barrage de Lagdo (Bassin de la Bénoué, Nord-Cameroun)
Authors: Mbele Abbo Félix 
Published: November 2021

Abstract. La présente étude s'intéresse à la dynamique du drainage de
la Bénoué, par comparaison de deux situations à savoir, celles
d'avant et après implantation d'un barrage à Lagdo (1975–2016). En
effet, jusqu'en 1983, aucun barrage n'existait sur la Bénoué. La
mise en place de cet ouvrage a non seulement modifié l'équilibre
environnemental du bassin versant, mais actionné des dynamiques humaines
et physiques importantes. On y note une modification des modules
hydrologiques, tandis que les processus morphogéniques se sont
accélérés dans le secteur aval, et se révèlent à
travers des glissements fréquents de berges. Il est question dans ce
travail de caractériser l'évolution du drainage par l'entremise des
indicateurs morphométriques et d'en évaluer les impacts ou enjeux.
Pour ce faire, des observations de terrain ont été faites, des
enquêtes/entretiens ont été menés auprès des riverains,
et une base de données géoreférencées a été
constituée sous Qgis 2.6.1 afin de faciliter les analyses diachroniques
du drainage. Il en ressort que les activités morphogéniques ayant
cours dans ce secteur sont de plus en plus actives. Il y a également une
revalorisation positive des caractéristiques actuelles des méandres,
comparativement à la situation de 1975. Les longueurs d'onde et les
amplitudes des méandres n'ont connus que de légères
modifications, tandis que la largeur moyenne des sections est
régulièrement passée de 121,77 m en 1975 à 169,08 m en 2016.
En comparant les différentes sections définis dans le cadre de cette
analyse, on se rend également compte que les largeurs érodées
plein bord s'étendent en moyenne de 1,47 m an−1, alors que les
pertes en terre par section sont de l'ordre de 0,63 ha an−1.
Globalement, les impacts évalués ou ressentis s'avèrent non
négligeables d'où les propositions faites afin de juguler
l'aléa.
Caractérisation hydro-climatique, analyse comparative des termes du bilan hydrologique du bassin versant d'Ambouli (République de Djibouti)

Published: November 2021

Abstract. Le bassin versant exoréique de l'Oued Ambouli
situé au sud-est de la République de Djibouti, s'étend sur plus
de 794 km2 soit 3.5 % de la surface du pays. Il est le plus grand
bassin versant du district de Djibouti. Cet oued est soumis à des crues
rares et brèves qui causent de lourds dégâts en vies humaines et
économiques, accentués par l'expansion urbaine de la ville de
Djibouti. Cette étude vise à calculer les différentes
composantes du bilan hydrologique. Sur la période 2008–2013, ce bassin a
reçu une pluie moyenne annuelle de 93.6 mm; l'évapotranspiration
réelle (ETR) sur le bassin versant est estimée à 79.6 mm/an soit
85 % des précipitations moyennes annuelles; l'écoulement total
approche un volume de 6.5 × 106 m3/an, soit 3.7 mm/an; par
déduction, selon la formule du bilan hydrologique, l'infiltration totale
est estimée à 10.3 mm/an. Ces résultats comparés aux
résultats obtenus antérieurement, apparaissent comme très
différents (principalement une baisse des valeurs). Les données
disponibles sont très fragmentées dans le temps et ne couvrent que
des périodes trop courtes pour pouvoir prétendre fournir des valeurs
de référence pour un bilan hydrologique et permettre un suivi
évolutif de celui-ci.
