Published: July 2021

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the prevalence and location of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) sesamoid bones using computed tomography (CT) images.
Patients and methods: A total of 767 hands of 735 patients (503 males, 232 females; mean age: 36.9±17.0 years; range, 18 to 105 years) obtained from picture archiving and communication system were retrospectively analyzed between January 2016 and December 2019. The sesamoid bones of MCP joints I, II, III, IV, and V were recorded. Data including age, sex, side, number, pathologies, and location of the sesamoid bones were recorded.
Results: The prevalence of sesamoid bones was found to be 100%, 37.61%, 1.17%, 0.5%, and 80% in MCP I, II, III, IV, and V, respectively. There was no significant correlation between the sex of the patient and presence of sesamoid bone at MCP II or MCP V (p>0.970 and p=0.176, respectively). The presence of sesamoid bone at MCP II was statistically significantly correlated with the presence of sesamoid bone at MCP V (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the side and sesamoid prevalence in the remaining 703 patients (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The prevalence of MCP V sesamoid bone is higher than previous studies from our country. The CT of hand can be used to determine sesamoid fractures and degenerative conditions of sesamoids.

Published: July 2021

Objectives: This study aims to describe our surgery technique and discuss patients treated through the dorsoulnar artery (DUA)-based technique of osseous and osteo-fascio-cutaneous vascularized ulnar bone grafting.
Patients and methods: Between January 2011 and January 2015, six male patients (median age: 22.5 years; range, 20 to 24 years) who underwent surgery during which the technique of DUA ulnar bone graft was utilized. One patient with scaphoid nonunion, three patients with Kienböck’s disease, and two patients with a traumatic metacarpal defect were retrospectively evaluated. The joint range of motion (ROM), grip strength, Disabilities of the arm, shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire score and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, and radiographies before and after surgery were examined. Scintigraphy was performed at 12 weeks postoperatively to monitor the viability of the bone graft.
Results: All patients showed improvements in the ROM, grip strength, VAS, and DASH scores. According to the radiographic examination, bone union was achieved in all patients and the scintigraphy revealed that vascularization was detected in the bone tissue.
Conclusion: The advantages of DUA-based vascularized bone graft are good bone quality and quantity and versatility due to its long pedicle. The osteo-fasio-cutaneous DUA flap seems to be effective in the treatment of traumatic metacarpal bone defects accompanied by skin loss. The DUA-based vascularized ulnar bone may be a source for scaphoid and lunate biological bone reconstruction.

Reading an Other
Authors: Schweickart Patrocinio 
Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT
The Resisting Reader by Judith Fetterley is a groundbreaking critique of the American literary canon that put together two major critical movements of the 1970s—feminist criticism and reception theory. Fetterley demonstrated how canonical American texts are “designed” to “immasculate” women readers, to compel them to identify with a male point of view, one of whose tenets is the designation of woman as other. Fetterley inspired the author to examine how women read women's texts and to formulate a theory of careful, responsible reading that does justice to the communicative project embodied in the text.
Empirical evaluation of home-based reablement: A review
Authors: Bersvendsen Tore , Jungeilges Jochen , Abildsnes Eirik 
Published: July 2021

Home-based reablement (HBR) aims to restore or increase patients’ level of functioning, thereby increasing the patients’ self-reliance and consequently decreasing their dependence on healthcare services. To date, the evidence on whether HBR is an efficient method has not been comprehensively reviewed. The aim of this study was to provide a concise summary of relevant existing findings. In addition, we provide a critical constructive assessment of the publications reflecting the extant research. The relevant literature on this topic was identified through a systematic search of appropriate databases. Thereafter, we screened the studies, first by title, followed by abstract and then by assessing full-text eligibility. A checklist of 15 criteria was developed and used as the basis for the quality assessment. In total, 12 studies from Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Norway were included in the full-text review. The studies reported estimated cost differences between HBR and usual care after the intervention. All the studies indicated lower costs for HBR, but not all of them reported a significant difference. The same pattern was also found for other measures of physical functioning and quality of life. The assessment revealed one specific common pattern: None of the papers scrutinized provided sufficient information about the data or the statistics employed, and all lacked external validity. Some promising results have been reported with respect to HBR reducing the need for specialist or residential care. In short, the existing evidence regarding the effects of HBR is still inconclusive. The findings from the quality assessment should motivate a multidisciplinary approach for future research on HBR.

El acceso al pasado en una sociedad acelerada
Authors: Samper Ayape Iker 
Published: July 2021

Tras los acontecimientos bélicos que asolaron el mundo durante el siglo XX, en concreto, a partid de 1980, aumento el interés y el acercamiento teórico sobre el pasado y la memoria. Partiendo de ello, la cuestión a tratar en el presente trabajo es: qué características tiene nuestro presente y cómo esto determina algunas formas de acceso al pasado. Para luego preguntarnos sobre la relación que se establece con los memoriales, es decir, en qué medida el contexto o condiciones del sujeto mediatizan su relación con la memoria.
Dado que la reflexión acerca de la memoria puede estar condicionada por las características propias de nuestro contexto: aceleración social. El acercamiento que puede tener un sujeto perteneciente a las generaciones más alejadas de lo acontecido en el siglo XX difiere mucho de la relación que pueden tener aquellos que vivieron el suceso o las consecuencias de una forma más inmediata. Por ello, debemos preguntarnos: ¿Hemos -sobre todo las generaciones más jóvenes- volcado la memoria y el conocimiento en objetos externos a los que recurrir y de esa manera no llevar el peso y poder adaptarnos al contexto actual? Estos objetos portadores de la memoria y conocimiento, como las imágenes, internet, o los memoriales, etc. ¿Están sólo bajo una lógica del consumo inmediato?, o ¿es el tipo de uso más potenciado? ¿Qué relación establecemos con los memoriales? Monumentos creados con el fin de recordar.
After the warlike events that devastated the world during the 20th century, specifically, from 1980, interest and the theoretical approach on the past and memory increased. Starting from this, the question to be dealt with in the present work is: what characteristics does our present have and how this determines some forms of access to the past. To then ask ourselves about the relationship that is established with memorials, that is, to what extent the context or conditions of the subject mediate his relationship with memory.
Since the reflection on memory can be conditioned by the characteristics of our context: social acceleration. The approach that a subject belonging to the generations furthest away from what happened in the twentieth century may have differs greatly from the relationship that those who experienced the event or the consequences can have in a more immediate way. For this reason, we must ask ourselves: Have we - especially the younger generations - turned memory and knowledge into external objects to turn to and thus not carry the weight and be able to adapt to the current context? These objects that carry memory and knowledge, such as images, the internet, or memorials, etc. Are they only under a logic of immediate consumption? Or is it the most enhanced type of use? What relationship do we establish with the memorials? Monuments created in order to remember.
Imágenes para imaginar: La importancia de atender a los archivos
Authors: García Gómez Patricia 
Published: July 2021

En este artículo examinamos la importancia de estudiar las imágenes fotográficas del horror, en especial aquellas producidas por sus víctimas, frente a una tradición historiográfica que, en nombre del inimaginable, del irrepresentable de la tragedia –discurso a menudo centrado en el horror del Holocausto nazi– rechaza el estudio de sus restos visuales. Y lo hacemos a través de las reflexiones de Georges Didi-Huberman en Imágenes pese a todo, donde parte del estudio de cuatro fotografías tomadas desde el interior de Auschwitz por un detenido judío, que servirán de ejemplo central para comprender la urgencia de atender a las huellas que nos han quedado del acontecimiento. Será necesario, para ello, repensar la manera en que nos enfrentarnos a este tipo de archivos, realizar una revisión epistemológica de la disciplina histórica. El potencial cognitivo de las imágenes, y su importancia para la praxis ética y política, no serán comprendidos mientras uno no sepa adentrarse en el necesario trabajo de la imaginación. El saber, ante la imagen, ante esa realidad que urge ser comprendida, necesita de un papel activo del observador, de una mirada que sepa reconocer el dolor que hay detrás, la posibilidad de un tiempo no cerrado, capaz de afectar al presente.
This paper studies the importance of facing the archives of tragedy, especially those produced by its victims, against a historiographical tradition that, in the name of the unimaginable, of the unrepresentable of the tragedy –often focused on the horror of the Nazi Holocaust–, rejects the study of visual vestiges. We approach it through the reflections of the French art historian Georges Didi-Huberman in his work Images in Spite of All, where he analyses four photographs taken in 1944 in Auschwitz by a Jewish prisoner. It will be necessary to rethink the way to confront these documents. Their cognitive potential, and their importance for ethical and political praxis, will not be understood if we don’t go into the necessary work of imagination. The knowledge, before the image, before that reality that urgently needs to be understood, needs an active role of the observer, a gaze that recognizes the pain behind it, the possibility of an unfinished time.
Anónimo era una mujer
Authors: García-Alcaide María 
Published: July 2021

“Anónimo era una mujer”, escribió Virginia Woolf en su libro Una habitación propia. Recuperamos su cita con el objetivo de comprender cómo la literatura ha estado siempre ligada al hombre, mientras que la mujer permanecía en un plano invisible a lo largo de la Historia. Las escritoras firmaban bajo pseudónimo, escondiendo sus nombres por miedo, vergüenza o presión social; algunas permitían el intrusismo de sus maridos, quienes se otorgaban los méritos de sus obras, y otras simplemente caían en el olvido. Es necesario recuperar la memoria para darles el lugar que se merecen, especialmente en el ámbito educativo, donde los libros de texto están repletos de literatura masculina mediante la cual el alumnado aprende a amar, sentir o llorar como lo hacían Lorca, Neruda o Benedetti, aniquilando así una visión feminista en todos los planos en los que progresar signifique también conocer cómo aman, sienten o lloran las mujeres.
"Anonymous was a woman," wrote Virginia Woolf in her book A Room of one's own. We recover her quote with the aim of understanding how literature has always been linked to men, while woman remained in the background throughout history. Women writers signed under pseudonyms, hiding their names out of fear, shame or social pressure; some of them allowed the intrusion of their husbands, who gave themselves credit for their works, and others simply fell into oblivion. It is necessary to recover their memory in order to give them the place they deserve, especially in the educational field, where textbooks are full of male literature through which students learn to love, feel or cry as Lorca, Neruda or Benedetti did, thus annihilating a feminist vision at all levels where progress means also knowing how women love, feel or cry.
Quality and Evaluation Report: Virtual Fracture Clinic at Wythenshawe Hospital
Authors: Warner Christian , Pillai Anand 
Published: July 2021

Background: Following its introduction at Glasgow Royal Infirmary in 2011, the Virtual Fracture Clinic model of managing outpatient musculoskeletal injuries has grown significantly in popularity. Wythenshawe Hospital introduced this model to their orthopaedic department in 2015. Aims: How do individual consultants vary in terms of discharge rate versus face-to-face follow up when reviewing cases in a Virtual Fracture Clinic? To assess patients’ level of satisfaction with the management of their injury under a Virtual Fracture Clinic System. Methods: A retrospective study of a cohort of patients over 12 months from 11th May 2017 to 11th May 2018. Data regarding the number of patients reviewed in Virtual Fracture Clinic during this time was collected and the numbers of patients discharged or recalled for follow up analysed. A telephone questionnaire based on the NHS Friends and Family Test was collected from 50 patients within this cohort to assess overall satisfaction with their care. Results: 3361 patients were referred to virtual fracture clinic during the inclusion period. The mean percentage of cases discharged from virtual fracture clinic is 30.4% with a median of 30.5%. The rates of discharge ranged from Consultant G at 13% to Consultant K at 39%. 88% of patients would recommend this service to their friends and family and 80% would rate the service at the level of good or excellent. Conclusion: A virtual fracture clinic model has been successfully implemented at Wythenshawe saving approximately 1157 appointments in 12 months. There is significant variation in discharge rates between consultants which appears to be influenced by the number of patients seen. Individual factors which affect this require further investigation. Patients are very satisfied with their care through the Virtual Fracture Clinic at Wythenshawe Hospital and an overwhelming majority would recommend this to others.
Cristianesimo delle origini e politica linguistica
Authors: Barzanò Alberto 
Published: July 2021

The Roman world was a multilingual community. Aiming on one side to ensure effective communication (as Latin was not so widely known and spoken) but not to encourage nationalistic revivals on the other, Romans choose Greek as an additional official language. Indeed, Greek, by then already deprived of any national character, was already used as a ‘lingua franca’ in the eastern Mediterranean. Despite Jewish tendency to refer to Hebrew as a mark of national and religious identity, early Christianity adopted (and maintained until the second half of the II century) Greek as its own language. This choice was not only due to practical considerations related to communication needs, but also to more ‘political’ reasons, and therefore it must be framed in the more general friendly approach to the Roman empire which was always taught during his life by Jesus and was practiced by him even in front of Pilate.
Callia e la confederazione euboica
Authors: Gallotta Stefania 
Published: July 2021

Callias of Chalcis is the main figure of Euboean history in the mid-fourth century b.C. Aeschines (III 85-105) dedicated a long exursus to him, thanks to it we could understand and analyze the close relationship between Athens and the island, during the reign of Philip II of Macedonia. The complex question of the existence of the Euboean koinon in the fourth century is very interesting, and the debate among scholars is still open. A reconstruction of the events of the life of this character, on which a specific study is still missing, and a review on the controversial question of Euboean koinon are the focus of this paper.

Authors: Orlu Eme Efioanwan , Obulor Adetutu Olubunmi 
Published: July 2021

Aim: This study was aimed at evaluating the impact of Coenzyme Q10 on hormonal profile in male Sprague-Dawley rat exposed to sub-chronic concentrations of Cypermethrin.
Experimental Design: A completely randomized experimental design using standard methods for analysis. Hormonal assay was carried out by Microplate Enzyme Immunoassay using their respective test kits. Including AccuBindTM Microplate EIA Test system from Monobind Inc. Lake Forest CA 92630 USA while statistical analysis was carried out using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA); where significant differences were found, Pair-wise comparisons conducted with Tukey test using SPSS 20 software.
Location and Duration of Study: This study was carried out in the Department of Biology, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. GPS 4o48ʹ14ʹʹ N 6o59ʹ12ʹʹ E. The study lasted for 28days.
Methodology: Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to five groups, A-E(n=6/group).Group A was given cool clean water and standard rat pellet ad libitum. Group B,C and D were administered Cypermethrin @ 10mg/kg/bw,20mg/kg/bw,30mg/kg/bw respectively along with 10mg/kg/bw of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Group E received 30mg/kg/bw of cypermethrin only without Coenzyme Q10. All animals were allowed access to cool clean water and standard rat pellet ad libitum. Bodyweight of the animals were taken twice a week and recorded in grams. Twenty-four hours before the animals were euthanized with ethyl ether inhalation, feed was withdrawn from the animals. Blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture between the hours of 7:00 and 9:00am into plain sample tubes according to the approved protocol of blood collection techniques. Analysis for the quantitative determination of all androgens was by Microplate Enzyme Immunoassay using the AccuBindTM Microplate EIA Test system from Monobind Inc. Lake Forest CA 92630 USA and expressed as their respective units. The animals were latter dissected and the vital organs harvested and weighed. The values were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software 20.
Results: Results showed that there was no significant difference between the bodyweight and organ weight of animals in the treatment group compared with the control. Also, treatment with Cypermethrin only in group E, reduced the level of all the androgens considered in exposed animals. However, with concurrent administration of coenzyme Q10, the production of all androgens especially the production of Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone and Progesterone in groups B,C,D and Estrogen in group B were significantly (P=.05) increased to values higher than the control.
Conclusion: This elevation indicates the role of Coenzyme Q10 as an effective antioxidant to boost hormonal level production especially the level of androgens.

Authors: Eiroboyi I. , Yerima Y. 
Published: July 2021

Environmental issues and the desire to be less dependent on fossil fuel have intensified research efforts towards the production of biofuels since they are a safe and clean alternatives to fossil fuels. However, the cost of carbohydrate raw materials has become a limiting factor for large-scale production, hence the need to source for low cost feedstock.
This study analyzed the processes and optimization involved in the production of bioethanol from oil palm fronds from Okada, Edo State, Nigeria, as an alternative source of energy. In this study, solid-state fermentation was carried out for the production of fermentable sugars from oil palm fronds inoculated with local isolate Aspergillus niger, the results from this analysis show that the pretreatment of oil palm frond substrate using Aspergillus niger was effective, The process was effectively optimized within the confines of the following parameters; temperature X3 (36-42oC), pH, X2 (5.1-5.7), inoculum, X4(4-22) and fermentation time X1 (0-36hr), an optimum Ethanol yield Y, of 110% was obtained.
