Goethe and Parker Cleaveland
Authors: Riley Thomas A. 
Published: January 2021

In 1830, at a time when the United States was still considered in Europe to be a small and insignificant country east of the Mississippi, Goethe published the poem “Den Vereinigten Staaten.” Almost at once it attracted attention, becoming with the years one of his most famous literary productions. A few months after its appearance in Germany, Fraser's Magazine in England offered the following quaint translation:The United StatesAmerica, thou hast it betterThan our ancient hemisphere;Thou hast no falling castles,Nor basalt, as here.Thy children, they know not,Their youthful prime to mar,Vain retrospection,Nor ineffective war.Fortune wait on thy glorious spring!And, when in time thy poets sing,May some good genius guard them allFrom Baron, Robber, Knight, and Ghost traditional.The original poem, as Goethe gave it to the public, was:Amerika, du hast es besserAls unser Continent, das alte,Hast keine verfallene SchlösserUnd keine Basalte.Dich stört nicht im Innern,Zu lebendiger Zeit,Unnützes ErinnernUnd vergeblicher Streit.Benutzt die Gegenwart mit Glück!Und wenn nun eure Kinder dichten,Bewahre sie ein gut GeschickVor Ritter-, Räuber- und Geistergeschichten.
Richard Barnfield, “Amyntas,” and the Sidney Circle
Authors: Morris Harry 
Published: January 2021

The Appearance of the pastoral name “Amyntas” in the poems of Richard Barnfield and in those of well-known members of the Sidney circle points to a network of interesting relationships not hitherto perceived generally. Barnfield's elaborate and extended references to Amyntas not only reveal some of the influences upon this poet's early compositions but also shed additional light upon the authorship of Greenes Funeralls, a work interesting both for its importance in the Greene-Harvey controversy and for its allusion to Greene's attack upon Shakespeare. Of significance also is the precise nature of Barnfield's connection with the group of writers who, after Sidney's death, attached themselves to Mary Herbert but retained still the spirit of Sir Philip. It is a connection that can be established clearly only if we understand aright the identity of Amyntas and the intention of the poet in employing the name.In four English works published between 1592 and 1595, Amyntas represents under the guise of pastoral allusion various persons whom the authors desired to praise: “Colin Clovts come home againe,” Pierce Penilesse his Svpplication to the Diuell, The Affectionate Shepheard, and Greenes Funeralls. Amyntas appears also in pastoral poems by Thomas Watson and Abraham Fraunce as an unfortunate shepherd who dies for love, and again in the works of other writers who wish by this method to allude to Watson's work or to Fraunce's. The name is met then in three ways: as a poetic name for an historical personage contemporary to the writer who uses it, as a name appropriate to a shepherd but having no topical significance in the fashionable Arcadian romances of the last two decades of the sixteenth century, and as a reference to poems using the name Amyntas either in their titles or in their subtitles.
Is inguinal hernia repair safe for testicular atrophy? Our 10 year results
Authors: Celasin Haydar , Afandiyev Faraj 
Published: January 2021

Background: We aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of testicular atrophy (TA) in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair at our hospital.Methods: The total patient number is 578.The patients were divided Group-1 (developed testicular atrophy) and Group-2 (did not develop testicular atrophy). The testicles were evaluated with Scrotal Color Doppler Ultrasonography (SCDU) in preoperative and postoperative third month.Results: Median age in the Group - 1 and Group - 2 respectively is 64,0±12,3 (47-81) and 48,9±17,4 (18-89) (p=0.037). TA developed in 5.01% (29/578) of the patients. We determined that TA developed more often in the patients who are over the age of 40 (p=0.007), in secondary cases (p<0.001), in open repair (p<0.001), those who do not use perioperative narcotic and Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) (p<0.001), those who use perioperative antispasmodic drugs (p=0.017), those having a rheumatic disease(RD) and diabetes mellitus(DM) (p<0.001).Results of multivariate analysis, testicular atrophy development increases when perioperative NSAID is not used ( OR:13.24; 95% CI:4.19-41.87; p<0.001) , perioperative narcotic is not applied (OR:13.91; 95% CI:4.35-44.55; p<0.001) and RD exists (OR:0.10; 95%CI:0.03-0.35; p<0.001).Conclusions: Advanced age, DM and rheumatic disease, not using perioperative NSAIDs, narcotic drugs and antispasmodic drugs increases the risk of testicular atrophy.
Thank You to Our 2020 Reviewers
Authors: Sturgess Kit 
Published: January 2021

2020 will be a year to remember! One of the standout features for me has been the speed with which ‘science’ has responded to the crisis in terms of developing and disseminating new information to the community highlighting the importance of digital communication – a space that Veterinary Evidence comfortably occupies. The availability of pre peer-reviewed papers has become the norm but it has also emphasised the essential need and benefit of the peer-review process as a significant number of pre-review papers have not made it through to ‘publication’ as issues were identified during the peer-review process.
As Editor-in-chief it makes me proud and thankful that Veterinary Evidence has a strong but agile peer-review process and I would like to thank all of our editors and reviewers for their continued support and their diligence in meeting demanding timelines during of these challenging times allowing Veterinary Evidence to publish more content than ever before. Without your highly valued knowledge, expertise and insights Veterinary Evidence would not be growing into the key knowledge source that it is today.
The Veterinary Evidence Editorial Board Meeting was held for the first time digitally on 7 December with the largest number of editorial board members able to attend. Members from across the globe were able to take part in wide and varied discussions around the development of the journal, resulting in important strategic initiatives and some key action points to pursue. The availability of the board to attend digitally will facilitate more frequent meetings allowing the journal to be more inclusive, and responsive to the changing landscape, as well as providing a digital recording of the event available for those board members unable to attend.
Key areas discussed included development of the format of PICOs and further refining the process for approving them, strategies to encourage engagement and submissions from veterinary nurses, and the development of policies to encourage diversity and inclusion within the board and contributors to the journal, as well as ways to increase the reach of the journal. Having only been Editor-in-chief since September, I have been very impressed by how active and dedicated our reviewers and board members are and how dynamic and forward-looking Veterinary Evidence is as it matures into a key contributor to veterinary literature. None of this would be possible without your support for which I am very grateful.
Stock Market Response to Multiple Alliance Announcements

Published: January 2021

We document frequency distribution of 4315 two-party, non-equity alliances undertaken by the U.S. based firms between 1986 and 2015 in 11industries and find that on an aggregate basis, the firms which form multiple alliances based on the exploitation motive are as likely to enter into alliance as the firms that enter into multiple alliances based on the exploration motive. However, we find strong evidence that the firms that enter into alliances on three or more occasions are driven by the exploration motive while, the firms that enter into alliances one and one or two times are driven by the exploitation motive. The average cumulative abnormal returns (ACAR) for all of the three subsamples of firms that undertook one, one or two, and three or more alliances during the time period for this study are all positive but exhibit a declining trend. Firms that are larger in terms of total assets engage more frequently in alliances than smaller firms. Returns to firms that enter into three or more alliances are sensitive to the leverage employed and the likelihood of bankruptcy whereas returns to firms that enter into only one or one or two alliances are affected significantly by the considerations of competitive forces.

In a continuing collaboration between the American Orthopaedic Association’s (AOA) Council of Orthopaedic Residency Directors (CORD) and JBJS, the following 10 abstracts highlight the scientific research presented at AOA’s annual national meeting that was held in June 2019 in San Diego, California. These abstracts embody CORD’s purpose and mission:“The American Orthopaedic Association’s Council of Orthopaedic Residency Directors (CORD) program strives to recognize best practices in orthopaedic residency education and fellowship education based on ACGME [Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education]-defined essential knowledge and skills in each of the residency education competency areas. CORD provides a forum for academic orthopaedic leaders to exchange ideas, discuss solutions to challenges, and find ways to teach residents in orthopaedic programs effectively.”

We hope that this education-related research will inspire further inquiry to advance the development of future orthopaedic surgeons.
Finn/Orthopaedic Salvage System Distal Femoral Rotating-Hinge Megaprostheses in Oncologic Patients

Published: January 2021

Background:There is a lack of evidence regarding long-term outcomes of rotating-hinge knee prostheses with distal femoral replacement in a large oncologic patient series. In this study, we investigated the proportion of patients experiencing complications requiring surgery in the long term, as well as the cumulative incidence of implant removal/revision and amputation at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years through competing risk analyses.Methods:We retrospectively studied 214 patients treated with a Finn/Orthopaedic Salvage System (OSS) knee prosthesis (Zimmer Biomet) after distal femoral resection from 1991 to 2017. The study end points were postoperative complications requiring surgery. Reoperations were classified as major when there was (1) removal of the metal-body femoral component, the tibial component, or the bone-implant fixation; (2) major revision (exchange of the metal-body femoral component, the tibial component, or the bone-implant fixation); or (3) amputation. Minor reoperations were defined as all other reoperations. Competing risk analysis was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of implant removal/revision or amputation.Results:There were 312 reoperations in 113 patients (98 major reoperations in 68 patients and 214 minor reoperations). Seventeen patients (8%) required ≥5 additional operations, and 21 patients (10%) required >1 major reoperation. Although the number of reoperations decreased over time, major and minor reoperations continuously accrued after 10 years. The cumulative incidences of implant removal or revision for any reason at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years were 22.6%, 30.1%, 34.3%, and 42.5%, respectively. Although most implant removals/revisions occurred in the first 10 years, the risk persisted after 10 years, at a mean of 1.24%/year, mainly due to deep infection (1.06%/year).Conclusions:The long-term outcomes of treatment with a Finn/OSS distal femoral rotating-hinge knee prosthesis showed it to be a durable reconstruction technique. The rate of implant removal/revisions after 10 years was gradual (1.24%/year). Deep infection remains a major late-failure mechanism, and lifetime surveillance for prosthetic problems is needed.Level of Evidence:TherapeuticLevel IV.

Published: January 2021

Background:
Prompt administration of antibiotics is a critical component of open fracture treatment. Traditional antibiotic recommendations have been a first-generation cephalosporin for Gustilo Type-I and Type-II open fractures, with the addition of an aminoglycoside for Type-III fractures and penicillin for soil contamination. However, concerns over changing bacterial patterns and the side effects of aminoglycosides have led to interest in other regimens. The purpose of the present study was to describe the adherence to current prophylactic antibiotic guidelines.

Methods:
We evaluated the antibiotic-prescribing practices of 24 centers in the U.S. and Canada that were participating in 2 randomized controlled trials of skin-preparation solutions for open fractures. A total of 1,234 patients were evaluated.

Results:
All patients received antibiotics on the day of admission. The most commonly prescribed antibiotic regimen was cefazolin monotherapy (53.6%). Among patients with Type-I and Type-II fractures, there was 61.1% compliance with cefazolin monotherapy. In contrast, only 17.2% of patients with Type-III fractures received the recommended cefazolin and aminoglycoside therapy, with an additional 6.7% receiving piperacillin/tazobactam.

Conclusions:
There is moderate adherence to the traditional antibiotic treatment guidelines for Gustilo Type-I and Type-II fractures and low adherence for Type-III fractures. Given the divergence between current practice patterns and prior recommendations, high-quality studies are needed to determine the most appropriate prophylactic protocol.
Risk Stratification Algorithm for Management of Head-Neck Taper Tribocorrosion in Patients with Metal-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Kwon Young-Min , Della Valle Craig J. , Lombardi Adolph V. , Garbuz Donald S. , Berry Daniel J. , Jacobs Joshua J. 
Published: January 2021

Abstract:
Adverse local tissue reactions (ALTRs) were initially reported as complications associated with metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings; however, there is increasing concern regarding the occurrence of adverse local tissue reactions from mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC) at the femoral head-neck junction or between other modular junctions of the implant containing cobalt chromium parts in patients with metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) bearings. ALTR due to MACC at the head-neck junction has primarily been reported in association with cobalt chromium alloy femoral heads. As pain following total hip arthroplasty may have various intrinsic and extrinsic causes, a systematic approach to evaluation (risk stratification algorithm) based on the currently available data is recommended to optimize patient management. Evaluation should begin by ruling out common causes of pain, including component loosening and periprosthetic joint infection. While specialized tests such as blood metal analysis and metal artifact reduction sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MARS MRI) are useful modalities in evaluating for ALTRs, over-reliance on any single investigative tool in the clinical decision-making process should be avoided. There should be a low threshold to perform a systematic evaluation for ALTR due to MACC in patients with metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty as early recognition and diagnosis is critical, as delays in appropriate treatment initiation may result in soft-tissue damage, which complicates surgical treatment and is associated with a higher risk of complications and poorer patient outcomes.
Predictors of long-term post-thrombotic syndrome following high proximal deep vein thrombosis: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Engeseth Marit , Enden Tone , Sandset Per Morten , Wik Hilde Skuterud 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Background Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent chronic complication of proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limb, but predictors of PTS are not well established. We aimed to examine predictors of PTS in patients with long-term PTS following proximal DVT.Methods During 2006-09, 209 patients with a first time acute upper femoral or iliofemoral DVT were randomized to receive either additional catheter-directed thrombolysis or conventional therapy alone. In 2017, the 170 still-living participants were invited to participate in a cross-sectional follow-up study. In the absence of a gold standard diagnostic test, PTS was defined in line with clinical practice by four mandatory, predefined clinical criteria: 1. An objectively verified DVT; 2. Chronic complaints (>1 month) in the DVT leg; 3. Complaints appeared after the DVT; and 4. An alternative diagnosis was unlikely. Possible predictors of PTS were identified with multivariate logistic regression. Results 88 patients (52%) were included 8-10 years following the index DVT, and 44 patients (50%) were diagnosed with PTS by the predefined clinical criteria. Younger age and higher baseline Villalta score were found to be independent predictors of PTS, i.e., OR 0.96 (95% CI, 0.93-0.99), and 1.23 (95% CI, 1.02-1.49), respectively. Lack of iliofemoral patency at six months follow-up was significant in the bivariate analysis, but did not prove to be significant after the multivariate adjustments.Conclusions In long-term follow up after high proximal DVT, younger age and higher Villalta score at DVT diagnosis were independent predictors of PTS.
Calibration of seasonal transfer equation (Z–R) by data of Doppler weather radar, rainfall gauging station and genetic algorithm method in the Abolabbas watershed (in southwest of Iran)

Published: January 2021

Abstract
The observed radar reflectivity (Z) converts to rainfall intensity (R) by a transfer function. In the first stage, for calibration of collected data (with time step 15 minutes) by weather radar and determination of the best relation between Z and R, it applied a genetic algorithm (GA) to minimize the amount of root mean square error (RMSE). Although Z = 166R2 (the transfer function in the Khuzestan province of Iran) is an appropriate equation, the GA method distinguished that Z = 110R1.8 (from February to May) and Z = 126R2 (for other months) are the optimum transfer functions for the Abolabbas watershed in Iran. The mean of RMSE of optimum transfer equations is 0.59 mm/hr in the calibration stage and 0.85 mm/hr in the verification stage. In the second stage, the Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS model) used four types of precipitation data (extracted rainfall data from radar and the optimum transfer equations, Z = 166R2, Z = 200R1.6 and extracted rainfall data from rainfall gauging stations). The calibrated rainfall data by the optimum transfer equations can produce flood hydrographs in which their accuracy is similar to the accuracy of generated flood hydrographs by collected rainfall data of rainfall gauging stations. The mean of RMSE is 0.65 cubic metres per second and the mean or R2 is 0.89 for optimum transfer equations.
Selenium and Computational Studies
Authors: de Sousa Natália Ferreira , Scotti Luciana , Muratov Eugene N. , Scotti Marcus Tullius 
Published: January 2021

Background:
Organocalcogens are a class of organic compounds obtained by the synthesis
experiments to include S, Se, or Te. Among the elements that comprise this class, Se is characterized
as an essential mineral and nutrient for humans. Se has been widely studied in many aspects. Organic
synthesis of organoselenides is used for obtaining new potential drug candidates and may be highly
beneficial from the use of computational approaches to reduce time and cost of the experiments. Thus,
the goal of our study is to evaluate the computational approaches used in the organoselenides research
from 1999 to 2019.

Methods:
A literature review was performed by searching the database “Web of Sciences”.

Results:
Most of the theoretical studies included structural elucidation or structure-property analysis.
We also found research regarding molecular docking approaches and Quantitative Structure-Activity
Relationship (QSAR) studies.

Conclusion:
Computational studies have been widely applied to organoselenides. They demonstrated
promising results and resulted in reduced the cost of research, increased efficacy, and, ultimately,
novel organoselenides with desired properties.
Imaging Features of Thoracic Manifestations of Behçet’s Disease: Beyond Pulmonary Artery Involvement
Authors: Yazgan Çisel , Ertürk Hakan , Taşkın Ayşenaz 
Published: January 2021

Background:Behçet’s disease is a chronic multisystemic vasculitis affecting vessels of different sizes in various organs. Thoracic manifestations of the disease show a wide spectrum involving a variety of anatomic structures within the chest. However, pulmonary artery involvement is a typical manifestation of the disease that contributes significantly to mortality in patients. The study aimed to analyze CT features of thoracic manifestations, particularly pulmonary artery involvement, and to quantitatively assess bronchial arteries in Behçet’s disease.Methods:Patients with Behçet’s disease who underwent CT scans for suspected thoracic involvement between 2010 and 2018 were included. CT findings of 52 patients were retrospectively analyzed for thoracic manifestations of the disease. Bronchial arteries were assessed regarding diameter in patients with/without pulmonary artery involvement. The pulmonary symptoms were noted.Results:Of the 52 patients, 67% had thoracic manifestations including pulmonary artery involvement, parenchymal changes, superior vena cava thrombosis, and intracardiac thrombus. Pulmonary artery involvement was observed in 50% of the cohort. Peripheral pulmonary arteries (77%) were the most commonly affected branches, followed by lobar (42%) and central (35%) pulmonary arteries. Other thoracic findings were significantly correlated with pulmonary artery involvement (p<0.05). Compared to patients without pulmonary artery involvement, those with pulmonary artery involvement had a higher bronchial artery diameter (p<0.05) and occurrence rate of dilated bronchial arteries.Conclusion:Involvement of peripheral pulmonary arteries is frequently encountered in Behçet’s disease and it can resemble pulmonary nodules. Dilated bronchial arteries, which can be observed in cases of pulmonary artery involvement, should be considered in patients with hemoptysis.
