Evaluation of Using Magnetized Water in Leaching Salts in Sandy Loam Soil
Authors: Abdul-Raheem Liqaa Hussein , Azzubaidi Riyadh Z. 
Published: June 2021

Many studies and researchers have reported significant evidence that some physical properties of water can be changed as it passes through a magnetic field that can improve water use. This can have a promising potential for applications, especially in the fields of irrigation and drainage. In this research, magnetized water was used to leach salt-affected sandy loam soil. A test rig was designed and constructed to investigate the effects of magnetized water on leaching soil. The rig consists of a magnetization device that can provide variable intensity. Water was supplied from a constant head reservoir to the magnetization device then to the soils that were placed in plastic columns. Five different magnetic intensities and five different times of exposing the flow of water to the magnetic field were applied. The time of exposure to the magnetic field was represented by the flow velocity of the flow passing through the magnetic field. The treated water is applied to leach each soil column in three consecutive leaching processes. Leaching water drained from the soil samples were tested for EC and pH, K+, Na+, Mg+2, Ca+2, Cl-, HCO-3, and SO4-2. The results showed that the efficiency of magnetized water in removing salts from the soil is more than the untreated water. As the magnetic intensity and exposure time are increased, more salts were leached out of the soil. When comparing the experiments conducted with magnetized water with that untreated water, the maximum increase in the EC value was 58.6%, and in the pH values was of 2.4%.

Published: June 2021

LAY SUMMARY Mobility assistive technology (AT) can improve the lives of people with disabilities by helping them get around in their communities. Today, over 23.9 million Americans use a wheelchair or assistive device, and over 85,000 wheelchairs, scooters, or other mobility devices are provided to Veterans each year. In order to find out how people learn about AT to improve efforts to disseminate information about AT, a survey of people who use mobility AT was conducted. The majority of people who completed the survey were Veterans (82%). It was determined that these people most often learned about AT through other users and/or from Veterans and the Internet, and that some people wish to receive information in other ways. Researchers can use these findings to better reach the people who could benefit from the new mobility AT they are creating.

Published: June 2021

LAY SUMMARY Female Veterans and female athletes with disabilities express concerns with mobility devices that are male-centric and do not address their unique needs. It is important that the needs of women are given the same attention as those of men. The following study asked groups of women who use wheelchairs or scooters, including Veterans and athletes, about their experiences. Twenty-four women, recruited from two sporting events for Veterans with disabilities, were asked to fill out a survey and participate in a focus group where they would discuss their views on mobility aids and related services. There were four major themes women often mentioned when they talked about using their mobility aids: usability (how they like using it), service delivery (how they get help with it), well-being (how they feel), and design (how it looks and works). Participants were concerned about the ability to adjust their device to their needs, how people obtained a device, and how they felt about using the device. Female wheelchair and scooter users recommended several changes to mobility aids that would improve the devices and improve the lives of women who use them.
Enhanced biomaterials: systematic review of alternatives to supplement spine fusion including silicon nitride, bioactive glass, amino peptide bone graft, and tantalum
Authors: Fiani Brian , Jarrah Ryan , Shields Jennifer , Sekhon Manraj 
Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE
Spinal fusions are among the most common and effective spinal surgical practices; however, the current model presents some cost and safety concerns within the patient population. Therefore, enhanced biomaterials have been presented to be an innovative yet underutilized tool to supplement the success of spinal fusion surgery. Herein, the authors discuss these biomaterials, their compositions, clinical outcomes, and cost analysis through a systematic review of the literature to date.

METHODS
This systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) criteria and guidelines. Article selection was performed using the PubMed electronic bibliographic databases. The search yielded 1168 articles that were assessed and filtered for relevance by the four authors. Following the screening of titles and abstracts, 62 articles were deemed significant enough for final selection.

RESULTS
To date, silicon nitride, bioactive glass, amino peptide bone grafts, and tantalum are all biomaterials that could have significant roles in supporting spinal fusion. Their unique compositions allow them to be biocompatible in the spine, and their mechanisms of action stimulate osteoblast formation and support fusion success. Moreover, these biomaterials also present positive clinical and cost outcomes that support their application in spinal procedures. However, further studies with longer follow-ups are necessary to fully understand these biomaterials prior to their incorporation in mainstream spinal practice.

CONCLUSIONS
The combination of their positive clinical outcomes, biocompatibility, and cost-effectiveness makes these biomaterials valuable, innovative, and effective treatment modalities that could revolutionize the current model of spinal fusion.
Impact of surgeon rhBMP-2 cost awareness on complication rates and health system costs for spinal arthrodesis
Authors: McGrath Margaret , Feroze Abdullah H. , Nistal Dominic , Robinson Emily , Saigal Rajiv 
Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein–2 (rhBMP-2) is used in spinal arthrodesis procedures to enhance bony fusion. Research has suggested that it is the most cost-effective fusion enhancer, but there are significant upfront costs for the healthcare system. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether intraoperative dosing and corresponding costs changed with surgeon cost awareness. The secondary objective was to describe surgical complications before and after surgeon awareness of rhBMP-2 cost.

METHODS
A retrospective medical record review was conducted to identify patients who underwent spinal arthrodesis procedures performed by a single surgeon, supplemented with rhBMP-2, from June 2016 to June 2018. Collected data included rhBMP-2 dosage, rhBMP-2 list price, and surgical complications. Expected Medicare reimbursement was calculated. Data were analyzed before and after surgeon awareness of rhBMP-2 cost.

RESULTS
Forty-eight procedures were performed using rhBMP-2, 16 before and 32 after surgeon cost awareness. Prior to cost awareness, the most frequent rhBMP-2 dosage level was x-small (38.9%, n = 7), followed by large (27.8%, n = 5) and small (22.2%, n = 4). After cost awareness, the most frequent rhBMP-2 dosage was xx-small (56.8%, n = 21), followed by x-small (21.6%, n = 8) and large (13.5%, n = 5). The rhBMP-2 average cost per surgery was $4116.56 prior to surgeon cost awareness versus $2268.38 after. Two complications were observed in the pre—cost awareness surgical group; 2 complications were observed in the post—cost awareness surgical group.

CONCLUSIONS
Surgeon awareness of rhBMP-2 cost resulted in use of smaller rhBMP-2 doses, decreased rhBMP-2 cost per surgery, and decreased overall hospital admission charges, without a detectable increase in surgical complications.
Investigating the efficacy of allograft cellular bone matrix for spinal fusion: a systematic review of the literature
Authors: Diaz Ryan R. , Savardekar Amey R. , Brougham Jared R. , Terrell Danielle , Sin Anthony 
Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE
The use of allograft cellular bone matrices (ACBMs) in spinal fusion has expanded rapidly over the last decade. Despite little objective data on its effectiveness, ACBM use has replaced the use of traditional autograft techniques, namely iliac crest bone graft (ICBG), in many centers.

METHODS
In accordance with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, a systematic review was conducted of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science databases of English-language articles over the time period from January 2001 to December 2020 to objectively assess the effectiveness of ACBMs, with an emphasis on the level of industry involvement in the current body of literature.

RESULTS
Limited animal studies (n = 5) demonstrate the efficacy of ACBMs in spinal fusion, with either equivalent or increased rates of fusion compared to autograft. Clinical human studies utilizing ACBMs as bone graft expanders or bone graft substitutes (n = 5 for the cervical spine and n = 8 for the lumbar spine) demonstrate the safety of ACBMs in spinal fusion, but fail to provide conclusive level I, II, or III evidence for its efficacy. Additionally, human studies are plagued with several limiting factors, such as small sample size, lack of prospective design, lack of randomization, absence of standardized assessment of fusion, and presence of industry support/relevant conflict of interest.

CONCLUSIONS
There exist very few objective, unbiased human clinical studies demonstrating ACBM effectiveness or superiority in spinal fusion. Impartial, well-designed prospective studies are needed to offer evidence-based best practices to patients in this domain.

Türkçenin tarih boyunca çok geniş coğrafyalara yayılmış ve çok farklı kültürel kaynaklardan beslenmiş olması, söz varlığı açısından oldukça zengin eserler yazılmasını sağlamıştır. Bu eserlerden biri de şimdiye değin Anadolu sahasında yazıldığı tespit edilebilen en eski telif eser olan Behcetü’l-Hadâik’tır. Eser, aynı zamanda taşıdığı dil özellikleri bakımından karışık dilli eserler arasında sayılmaktadır. Bugüne kadar eserin hem neşri hem de dil özellikleri konusunda pek çok çalışma yapılmıştır. Ancak doğrudan eserde geçen ikilemeleri inceleyen bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. İkilemeler, genel olarak eş, yakın veya zıt anlamlı kelimelerin tekrarıyla oluşan yapılar olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte ikilemeler, Türkçenin söz varlığı yönünden zenginliğini ortaya koyan en önemli unsurlarından biridir.
Bu çalışmada, Behcetü’l-Hadâik’ta tespit edilen 95 ikileme anlamsal kuruluşlarına, kelime türlerine ve farklı kuruluş yapılarına göre sınıflandırılarak incelenmiştir.

Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to identify the efficacy of dynamic fixation using rigid tape (RT) in rehabilitation after surgery of terrible triad injury of the elbow (TTIE). METHODS: Sixty patients who underwent surgery of TTIE were equally randomly divided into RT group and hinged external fixation brace (HEFB) group. Dynamic fixations were applied for 8 weeks. General rehabilitation programs were performed for 3 months, 5 times a week. Follow-up (FU) was at six months. Main outcomes included pain (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS), muscle strength, range of motion (ROM), Elbow Function (Mayo Elbow Performance Index, MEPI), Quality of Life (QOL) (Short Form 36 Questionnaire, SF-36). RESULTS: There were significant time x group interactions for pain, ROM, MEPI, SF-36 (all p= 0.000), which demonstrated positive efficacy of both the two interventions. Difference at each time-point (except for baseline) of pain and ROM between the two groups was statistically significant (all p< 0.05). Some differences between the two groups were not statistically significant which at 14d on MEPI (p= 0.108) and at 21d (p= 0.259) and FU (p= 0.402) on QOL. Moreover, the increased muscle strength at each time-point had no statistically significant difference between the two groups (all p> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Both RT and HEFB could significantly improve the postoperative functional outcomes of the TTIE. However, early rehabilitation intervention could increase pain, which affected the corresponding function (MEPI) and QOL. Note that this kind of impact was short-term and reversible. The muscle strength and ROM were not affected by the increased severe pain, maintaining a trend of improvement. In addition, the subjects in the RT group improved faster and more efficiently and had better results with pain, ROM, MEPI, and QOL compared to the subjects in the HEFB group.

Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Andean berry contains several classes of phenolic compounds which have showed antioxidant and cytotoxic activity. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the Andean berry aqueous extract and to study their anti-proliferative mechanisms on SW480 and SW620 cell lines (human colon adenocarcinoma). METHODS: Total phenolic and total anthocyanins contents were determined by Folin-Ciocalteau and differential pH methods, respectively. Antioxidant activity was measured by FRAP, ORAC and DPPH methods. Antiproliferative effect was determined by sulforhodamine colorimetric method and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry using propidium iodide/Annexin-V. Mitochondrial potential was evaluated using DIOC6 and ROS levels were measured by 2,7-Dicholorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). RESULTS: The total phenol and anthocyanin content were 4409.78± 63,05 mg equivalents of gallic acid/100 mL and 106,57± 1.43 mg equivalents of cyanidin-3-glycoside/100 mL, respectively. Andean berry extract showed antioxidant activity by FRAP, ORAC and DPPH methods and antiproliferative effect on SW480 and SW620 cells. It was observed a cell cycle arrest at S and G2/M phases on SW480 and at G0/G1 phase on SW620 cells. Aqueous extract did not induce mitochondrial depolarization or affect intracellular ROS levels. CONCLUSIONS: Andean berry aqueous extract has antioxidant capacity and induces apoptosis involving cell cycle arrest in SW480 and SW620 cells without mitochondrial damage.

Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Health monitoring is important for early disease diagnosis and will reduce the discomfort and treatment expenses, which is very relevant in terms of prevention. The early diagnosis and treatment of multiple conditions will improve solutions to the patient’s healthcare radically. A concept model for the real-time patient tracking system is the primary goal of the method. The Internet of things (IoT) has made health systems accessible for programs based on the value of patient health. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, the IoT-based cloud computing for patient health monitoring framework (IoT-CCPHM), has been proposed for effective monitoring of the patients. METHOD: The emerging connected sensors and IoT devices monitor and test the cardiac speed, oxygen saturation percentage, body temperature, and patient’s eye movement. The collected data are used in the cloud database to evaluate the patient’s health, and the effects of all measures are stored. The IoT-CCPHM maintains that the medical record is processed in the cloud servers. RESULTS: The experimental results show that patient health monitoring is a reliable way to improve health effectively.
Predominant Endotype of Nasal Polyps in a Sample of Filipinos Following Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis
Authors: Nable-Llanes Karla Victoria , Roldan Rodante 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the prevalence of eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic nasal polyps in Filipino patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery.
Methods:
Design: Retrospective Chart Review
Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital
Participants: A consecutive sample of adult patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis at the Rizal Medical Center from 2015-2019.

Results: Out of 66 patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery during the study period, 36 (54.55%) had an eosinophilic endotype while 30 (45.45%) had a non-eosinophilic endotype.
Conclusion: he slight predominance of eosinophilic nasal polyps found in our sample may suggest a contrasting trend compared to our Asian neighbors, who have a predominantly non[1]eosinophilic endotype – Indonesia (90.47%), Thailand (81.9%), South Korea (66.7%) and China (53.6%). However, this predominance is still lower than the 78-88% eosinophilia reported among Caucasians. Larger series may confirm these preliminary findings
Self-Inflicted Craniofacial Impalement Injury with a Screwdriver During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Report
Authors: Gatela JL Jane 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT
Objective: To present a case of a 37-year-old man presenting with craniofacial impalement injury from a screwdriver that happened during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
Design: Case Report
Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital
Patient: One
Results: During the early stages of COVID-19 pandemic a 37-year-old man was brought to the emergency room with a screwdriver embedded in his right eye. A multidisciplinary team observing available recommendations (level IV PPE, carefully planned operative directives) successfully performed endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery with application of a nasoseptal Hadad flap and abdominal fat obliteration. Aside from medial gaze limitations of the right eye, there was no CSF leak or rhinorrhea and no neurologic sequelae on follow up.

Conclusion: Endoscopic skull base surgery for such an impalement injury as this is a formidable multidisciplinary challenge, even in normal times. The early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic presented additional challenges. Observing evolving guidelines minimized the high risk of exposure for health care workers while maximizing care for the patient.
