Published: March 2018

Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are commonly seen in orthopedic practice, and usually restoration is recommended to re-establish normal knee function. Autografts and allografts are viable options. Among autografts the main sources are the patellar tendon, the hamstrings and the quadriceps tendon, each having advantages and drawbacks. Many factors should be taken into consideration when deciding on a graft source for ACL restoration; however, clinical data may aid the surgeon in choosing the right graft for every specific patient in an individualized manner. This short review is intended to highlight the main characteristics and clinical data for each type of autograft.

Abstract

Introduction: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) represents a standard therapy in the management of hematologic malignancies such as malignant lymphomas and has used for approximately three decades. The aim of this study was to determine the occurring post-ASCT complications and their impact on the patients’ recovery for a better management.

Material and methods: An observational retrospective study was performed during a five-year period between 2012 and 2017, involving 58 classical Hodgkin lymphoma and 36 non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients, who underwent ASCT in the Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit of Tîrgu Mureş. The main analyzed complications were: infections, bleeding, hydroelectrolytic disorders, and hypoalbuminemia.

Results: After data analysis we found that 17 patients (18%) presented microbiologically confirmed infection, 10 patients (11%) presented clinically non-significant bleeding, 39 patients (42%) presented electrolyte disorders, and 33 patients (36%) presented hypoalbuminemia, obtaining a positive correlation between the rate of adverse events after ASCT with age (r = 0.9914, p = 0.0009) and the average hospitalization period (r = 1, p <0.00001).

Conclusions: The identification of adverse events and their correlation with the patients’ clinical outcome can lead to better patient management and a faster recovery after ASCT.
Note on group irregularity strength of disconnected graphs

Abstract
We investigate the group irregularity strength (sg
(G)) of graphs, i.e. the smallest value of s such that taking any Abelian group 𝓖 of order s, there exists a function f : E(G) → 𝓖 such that the sums of edge labels at every vertex are distinct. So far it was not known if sg
(G) is finite for disconnected graphs. In the paper we present some upper bound for all graphs. Moreover we give the exact values and bounds on sg
(G) for disconnected graphs without a star as a component.
Early administration of venovenous extracorporeal life support for status asthmaticus during anaesthetic induction: case report and literature review
Authors: Chang Won Ho 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Here we report a case of a 40-year-old man who visited the emergency room with severe chest pain. He showed a Stanford type B aortic dissection on chest-computed tomography. Despite medical treatment and malperfusion of lower extremities, acute renal failure developed; hence thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) was considered under general anaesthesia. After endotracheal intubation, ventilation with low tidal volume required high inspiratory airway pressure. An arterial blood gas analysis showed PaCO2 of 61.8mmHg and PaO2 of 26.4mmHg, indicating a status asthmaticus of hypoxaemia and hypercarbia, which did not respond to bronchodilator or mechanical ventilation. Impending cardiac arrest was treated using venovenous extracorporeal life support, which was administered by percutaneous femoral cannulation. Surgical procedure was completed without any complications. Extracorporeal life support was weaned at one day after the operation. The patient was discharged without any complications.
Order parameter effect critical fields and current of Y1–xPrx:123 superconductors
Authors: Sedky A. , Amin S.A. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Fluctuation induced conductivity by Pr substitution at Y sites of Y1-xPrx:123 superconductors is reported. It is found that the mean field temperature Tc
mf, deduced from the peak of dρ/dT versus T plot, gradually decreases by increasing Pr up to 0.40. The order parameter dimensionality (OPD) is estimated from the slope of the logarithmic plot between excess conductivity Δσ and reduced temperature є. Interestingly, the crossover from 2D to 3D is obtained for samples with Pr = 0.00, 0.10 and 0.20, while with increasing Pr up to 0.40, the crossover from 0D to quasi-2D is obtained. On the other hand, the calculated values of interlayer coupling, coherence lengths, critical fields and critical current decrease with increasing Pr up to 0.20, but with the further increase of Pr, up to 0.40, they increase. The hole carriers/Cu ions anisotropy and G-L parameter gradually increase with Pr up to 0.40. Our results are discussed in terms of the effects of Pr substitution at Y site, such as oxygen rearrangements, anisotropy, hybridization and localization of holes in the overdoped region.
The Naturalness of Religion: What It Means and Why It Matters
Authors: Launonen Lari 
Published: March 2018

Summary“Religion is natural” has become a common thesis in Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR). The claim, however, is often ambiguous. This paper seeks to clarify and evaluate the naturalness of religion thesis that flows from CSR theories pointing to the optimal compatibility between recurrent religious concepts and the ordinary operations of the human mind. For the naturalness thesis to be scientifically valid, some criteria for naturalness are needed. Robert McCauley has suggested four typical marks for natural cognitive systems, but his account suffers from the inability to point to any causal operations in human development responsible for the naturalness of religion. Even if naturalness is a problematic concept, the science behind it may nevertheless carry interesting implications. First, since Christian theologians have traditionally viewed man as naturally religious, CSR offers new material for theological considerations. Second, it may also help us make predictions about the future of religion. Third, it has been argued that the naturalness thesis offers support for freedom of religion.
Anforderungen, Perspektiven und Chancen des neuen Pflegeberufereformgesetzes
Authors: Boguth Katja , Knoch Tina 
Published: March 2018

Zusammenfassung
Die Änderungen, die mit dem neuen Pflegeberufereformgesetz auf den Weg gebracht wurden, sind umfassend und weitreichend. Kritisch sind die Qualifikationsziele zu bewerten, da sie keine konkrete Stufung der Ausbildungsniveaus von nicht akademisiert gegenüber akademisiert ausgebildeten Pflegefachmännern/-frauen aufweisen. Dennoch bietet das Gesetz die Chance, pflegerische Versorgungsstrukturen in Deutschland weiterzuentwickeln.

Effects of abdominal massage on constipation in palliative care patients – a pilot study
Authors: Dadura Emilia , Stępień Piotr , Iwańska Dagmara , Wójcik Agnieszka 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Introduction: The problem of constipation in Poland concerns 13.4% of the healthy population. In the case of patients treated with opioids, this number increases to 70-90%, which constitutes a serious problem that lowers the patients’ quality of life. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of abdominal massage, which successfully reduces constipation in various diseases, on palliative care patients. Material and methods: The research included 18 patients of a palliative care facility (mean age 78.3 ± 10 years), 11 of whom completed the study. The study participants were randomly divided into two groups, i.e. a pilot group (abdominal massage and kinesiotherapy) and a control group (kinesiotherapy). The therapy lasted 8 weeks and blind evaluation was carried out once per week. The study involved evaluating constipation intensity (The Bowel Function Index), the frequency of defecation (medical documentation) and abdomen circumference (anthropometric tape). The collected data were analysed statistically with the use of Statistica software. Results: The observed differences between the studied groups undergoing different therapies in subsequent weeks were not statistically significant. However, in the group in which abdominal massage was implemented, a decrease in the intensity of constipation, an increase in the frequency of defecation and a reduction in abdomen circumference were noted compared to the control group. The patients also indicated additional positive effects of this form of therapy, i.e. an improvement in breathing, easier urination, release of excessive gas and abdominal pain reduction. Conclusions: The collected data led to the conclusion that abdominal massage may result in a decrease in disorders accompanying opioid-induced constipation. Therefore, it is worth considering the implementation of this form of therapy in the case of patients in an advanced stage of cancer. There is also a need for further research in this field which will include a larger number of patients.
Abschreckung einst und heute
Authors: Thomson James A. 
Published: March 2018

Kurzfassung:
In einer Zeit, in der sich die internationalen Beziehungen in eine Richtung entwickeln, die stärker von strategischer Konfrontation gekennzeichnet ist, nimmt Abschreckung wieder einen zentralen Stellenwert ein. Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die Kernfragen westlicher Abschreckungspolitik während des Kalten Krieges und in der heutigen Zeit. Während sich die Umstände erheblich geändert haben, bleibt auch heute das zentrale Anliegen von Abschreckung dasselbe wie im Kalten Krieg: Wie hält man angesichts von Gegnern, die ihrerseits mit verheerenden Atomangriffen Vergeltungsschläge gegen die Vereinigten Staaten ausführen können, die Glaubwürdigkeit der US-amerikanischen Drohung aufrecht, auch zur Verteidigung von Alliierten Atomwaffen einzusetzen? Es besteht kaum ein Zweifel an der Glaubwürdigkeit der Drohung der Vereinigten Staaten oder anderer Atommächte, im Fall eines Atomangriffs auf ihre eigenen Staatsgebiete Vergeltung zu üben, sofern die Vergeltungskapazitäten den Erstangriff überstehen. Das Problem liegt in der Glaubwürdigkeit der erweiterten US-amerikanischen Abschreckung.
