Published: January 2019

Background Glenoid loosening and instability are among the most common complications after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), resulting in poor function. Posterior instability is one contributing factor. The purpose of this study is to report the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a series of patients treated with posterior capsule plication for intraoperative posterior instability during TSA. It is hypothesized that patients undergoing this procedure will have improvement in posterior stability intraoperatively while not limiting their ROM postoperatively. Methods Patients of the senior author were identified who had undergone TSA with posterior capsule plication from 2014 to 2015 based on Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. Their records and preoperative radiographs were retrospectively reviewed for demographic data and preoperative range of motion (ROM) which was documented in the clinic notes. Patients were then evaluated postoperatively to determine the outcomes after TSA with posterior capsule plication. Final follow-up was conducted via telephone survey. Results Nineteen patients were identified for review; however, only 14 had all imaging available. The mean age at the time of surgery was 63 years. There were 2 A1, 6 B1, and 6 B2 Walch-type glenoids based on preoperative imaging. All but one had equivalent or better ROM for active forward elevation and external rotation postoperatively. One patient required return to operating room at 5 months after developing adhesive capsulitis. Conclusion This study indicates that the use of posterior capsule plication during TSA is a safe method to address posterior subluxation, while still allowing for improved ROM postoperatively.

Abstract
Background
Transposable elements (TEs) are a major component of metazoan genomes and are associated with a variety of mechanisms that shape genome architecture and evolution. Despite the ever-growing number of insect genomes sequenced to date, our understanding of the diversity and evolution of insect TEs remains poor.

Results
Here, we present a standardized characterization and an order-level comparison of arthropod TE repertoires, encompassing 62 insect and 11 outgroup species. The insect TE repertoire contains TEs of almost every class previously described, and in some cases even TEs previously reported only from vertebrates and plants. Additionally, we identified a large fraction of unclassifiable TEs. We found high variation in TE content, ranging from less than 6% in the antarctic midge (Diptera), the honey bee and the turnip sawfly (Hymenoptera) to more than 58% in the malaria mosquito (Diptera) and the migratory locust (Orthoptera), and a possible relationship between the content and diversity of TEs and the genome size.

Conclusion
While most insect orders exhibit a characteristic TE composition, we also observed intraordinal differences, e.g., in Diptera, Hymenoptera, and Hemiptera. Our findings shed light on common patterns and reveal lineage-specific differences in content and evolution of TEs in insects. We anticipate our study to provide the basis for future comparative research on the insect TE repertoire.

Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) before exercise has been shown to be a novel approach to improve performance in different exercise modes in normoxia (NORM). Few studies have been conducted examining potential mechanisms behind these improvements, and less has been done examining its influence during exercise in hypoxia (HYP). Oxygen uptake and extraction kinetics are factors that have been implicated as possible determinants of cycling performance. We hypothesized that IPC would lead to improvements in oxygen extraction and peripheral blood flow kinetics, and this would translate to improvements in cycling time trial (TT) performance in both NORM and HYP.

Methods
Thirteen men (age, 24 ± 7 yr; V˙O2max, 63.1 ± 5.1 mL·kg−1·min−1) participated in the study. Subjects completed trials of each combination of normobaric HYP (FiO2 = 0.16, simulating ~8000 ft/2500 m) or NORM (FiO2 = 0.21) with preexercise IPC protocol (4 × 5 min at 220 mm Hg) or SHAM procedure. Trials included submaximal constant load cycle exercise bouts (power outputs of 15% below gas exchange threshold, and 85% of V˙O2max), and a 5-km cycling performance TT.

Results
Ischemic preconditioning significantly improved 5-km TT time in NORM by 0.9% ± 1.8% compared with SHAM (IPC, 491.2 ± 35.2 s vs SHAM, 495.9 ± 36.0 s; P < 0.05). Ischemic preconditioning did not alter 5-km TT performance times in HYP (P = 0.231). Ischemic preconditioning did, however, improve tissue oxygen extraction in HYP (deoxygenated hemoglobin/myoglobin: IPC, 21.23 ± 10.95 μM; SHAM, 19.93 ± 9.91 μM; P < 0.05) during moderate-intensity exercise.

Conclusions
Our data confirm that IPC is an effective ergogenic aid for athletes performing 5-km cycling TT bouts in NORM. Ischemic preconditioning did mitigate the declines in tissue oxygen during moderate-intensity exercise in HYP, but this did not translate to a significant effect on mean group performance. These data suggest that IPC may be of benefit for athletes training and competing in NORM.
Relative effectiveness of a full versus reduced version of the ‘Smoke Free’ mobile application for smoking cessation: an exploratory randomised controlled trial
Authors: Crane David , Ubhi Harveen Kaur , Brown Jamie , West Robert 
Published: January 2019

Background:Smartphone applications (apps) are popular aids for smoking cessation. Smoke Free is an app that delivers behaviour change techniques used in effective face-to-face behavioural support programmes. The aim of this study was to assess whether the full version of Smoke Free is more effective than the reduced version.Methods: This was a two-arm exploratory randomised controlled trial. Smokers who downloaded Smoke Free were randomly offered the full or reduced version; 28,112 smokers aged 18+ years who set a quit date were included. The full version provided updates on benefits of abstinence, progress (days smoke free), virtual ‘badges’ and daily ‘missions’ with push notifications aimed at preventing and managing cravings. The reduced version did not include the missions. At baseline the app recorded users’: device type (iPhone or Android), age, sex, daily cigarette consumption, time to first cigarette of the day, and educational level. The primary outcome was self-reported complete abstinence from the quit date in a 3-month follow-up questionnaire delivered via the app. Analyses conducted included logistic regressions of outcome on to app version (full versus reduced) with adjustment for baseline variables using both intention-to-treat/missing-equals smoking (MES) and follow-up-only (FUO) analyses.Results:The 3-month follow-up rate was 8.5% (n=1,213) for the intervention and 6.5% (n=901) for the control. A total of 234 participants reported not smoking in the intervention versus 124 in the control, representing 1.6% versus 0.9% in the MES analysis and 19.3% versus 13.8% in the FUO analysis. Adjusted odds ratios were 1.90, 95%CI=1.53-2.37 (p<0.001) and 1.50, 95%CI=1.18-1.91 (p<0.001) in the MES and FUO analyses respectively.Conclusions:Despite very low follow-up rates using in-app follow up, both intention-to-treat/missing equals smoking and follow-up only analyses showed the full version of the Smoke Free app to result in higher self-reported 3-month continuous smoking abstinence rates than the reduced version.

Background: Artificial reefs can be utilized as new habitats to restore fish populations in degraded coral reef environments. This study evaluated the restoring ability of the artificial reef set at Gusung Batu Lampe should be investigated by observing the fish population colonizing the reef. Methods: A fish visual census was applied to identify the species and count their numbers at the site. Underwaterline transect was used to limit the observation area to 200 m2 measured with 50m roll meter. The reef structure comprised 34 tetrahedral concrete blocks arranged in a row, which was 60 cm x 60 cm at the base, 35 cm x 35 cm on top and 60 cm high, and has four holes. Two scuba divers descended, one to ensure the safety of the divers and the other to observe the fish. Each dive took place over 30–45 minutes, and was conducted at 09:00, 13:00 and 17:00. Surveys were performed four times: in November and December 2016, and in January and July 2017. Results: Results showed that fish colonization composed of 180 to 283 individual number with taxa between 13 and 25 species. Number of fish in colonization was found significant difference among observation times, and fish species from the family Chaetodontidae were observed in every survey. Conclusions: A total of 38 fish species from 16 families were identified colonizing the reef during surveys, and in four month observation the fish colonization size increased from the fish density of 1/4.444 m2 to 1/1.481 m2, confirming the ability of the reef to restore fish population.

Background: There are many impacts on quality of life among elderly people living with HIV patients. This study aimed to assess factors influencing quality of life among elderly people living with HIV/AIDS in a northern province of Thailand. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Phayao province, Thailand. A systematic sampling technique was employed to select study participants. 152 elderly participants aged 60 years and older with a family member living with HIV/AIDS were recruited to the study. They were interviewed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-OLD) questionnaire. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the factors influencing quality of life among elderly people affected by family member living with HIV/AIDS. Results: The results of the study showed the mean age of elderly participants was 67.20 + 52 years, most of which were female (97 persons, 63.8%). The mean time taking care of HIV/AIDS patients was 6.61+ 4.96 years. In term of health status among the elderly participants, the majority did not have chronic diseases (61.4%), amongst those with chronic diseases (38.6%), hypertension and diabetes were the most common. The average quality of life score was at a fair level. The time taking care of HIV/AIDS patients and health status were significant predictors of quality of life among participants 8.1 % (R2=.081; p < .05). Conclusion: In order to improve quality of life among elderly caregivers to family member living with HIV/AIDS, time taking care of HIV/AIDS patients and health status should be focused on, amongst other factors. Help and support from the government, community, health organizations, academic research, and family members can help improve quality of life amongst the elderly.

Authors: Akpor Oluwaseyi Abiodun , Thupayagale-Tshweneagae Gloria 
Published: January 2019

Background: Teenage pregnancy has been regarded as a negative occurrence in recent times due to its various negative consequences on the overall wellbeing of the teenage mother and her child, the whole family system and the entire community at large. Teenage pregnancy rate is a powerful indicator of the total well-being of a population. Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore professional nurses and secondary school teachers’ own perspectives on teenage pregnancy and to ascertain the current teenage pregnancy prevention programmes within the two selected communities in Kwara and Edo states in Nigeria. Methods: The study was qualitative and contextual with an exploratory strategy. A total of 80 participants, who were professional nurses and secondary school teachers, responded to the semi-structured interview and completed a questionnaire on demographic data. Template analysis style was combined with content analysis for data analysis. Results: Our findings revealed limited teenage pregnancy prevention initiatives in the communities. The majority of the participants expressed that teenage pregnancy is a common occurrence in their communities, but it is not acceptable. More than half of the participants did not accept the usage of contraceptives by teenagers. Conclusions: The study identified a number of factors that may influence the rate of teenage pregnancy in the communities. Therefore, strategies to reduce teenage pregnancy should focus on building social capital for teenagers in communities, making information on contraception more accessible and offering programmes that empower girls in the area of sexuality.

Authors: Harsono Anastasia Dessy , Wardhana Aditya 
Published: January 2019

Background: Many topical agents are available for the treatment of partial thickness burns. We examined Moist Exposed Burn Ointment (MEBO) and honey as dressing agents; regarding their natural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties. They have also been proven to be superior than silver sulphadiazine in treating burn wound.Methods: A total of 34 patients were randomly allocated into MEBO group and Indonesian local honey group. The dressings are changed daily, with corresponding interventions applied. The depth and extent of burn wounds were assessed upon patient’s admission and once a week for two weeks. Pain level was evaluated using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The wound swabs were cultured weekly to obtain microorganisms profile. The cost-per-day of each group were counted.Result: Acute partial thickness burn in MEBO group showed faster healing compared to honey group. NRS scores for pain were also lower in MEBO group. MEBO was found to be more effective in decreasing bacterial colonization. Cost of treating wound using MEBO until complete healing was also lesser than local honey.Conclusions: As topical agent to treat partial thickness burns, MEBO is superior compared to local honey due to faster healing, better pain relief, fewer bacterial colonization and the more cost-effective usage.

A unilateral L2L^{2}-gradient flow and its quasi-static limit in phase-field fracture by an alternate minimizing movement
Authors: Negri Matteo 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
We consider an evolution in phase-field fracture which combines, in a system of PDEs, an irreversible gradient-flow for the phase-field variable with the equilibrium equation for the displacement field. We introduce a discretization in time and define a discrete solution by means of a 1-step alternate minimization scheme, with a quadratic

Then we show that the vanishing viscosity limit is a quasi-static (parametrized) BV-evolution. All these solutions are described both in terms of energy balance and, equivalently, by PDEs within the natural framework of

Positive solutions for the Robin p-Laplacian problem with competing nonlinearities
Authors: Gasiński Leszek , Papageorgiou Nikolaos S. 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
We consider a parametric nonlinear elliptic equation driven by the Robin p-Laplacian.
The reaction term is a Carathéodory function which exhibits competing nonlinearities
(concave and convex terms). We prove two bifurcation-type results describing the set of
positive solutions as the parameter varies.
In the process we also prove two strong comparison principles for Robin equations.
These results are proved for differential operators which are more general than the
p-Laplacian and need not be homogeneous.
