Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the outcomes of secondary alveolar bone grafting and late secondary alveolar bone grafting in 66 unilateral cleft lip and palate patients. Materials and Methods: The total patients were 66 unilateral cleft lip and palate patients, out of which 19 patients underwent secondary alveolar bone grafting and 47 patients underwent late secondary alveolar bone grafting. Autogenous anterior iliac crest cancellous bone graft was harvested and used for grafting the alveolar clefts. Radiographic assessment based on Enemark’s scoring according to the marginal bone levels was done on the intraoral periapical radiographs taken 6 months after performing the surgery. Results: Twelve (63%) out of the 19 patients on whom secondary alveolar bone grafting was done achieved score 1 (optimal marginal bone levels), whereas only 12 (25%) out of the 47 patients achieved score 1 amongst the late secondary alveolar bone graftings. Overall results showed, probability, P = .034 (statistically significant). Conclusion: This study reaffirmed the fact that alveolar bone grafting when done in preadolescent age group (secondary alveolar bone grafting) gives better results in terms of marginal bony consolidation and maintaining the continuity of the alveolar arch, but the late presentation (late secondary alveolar bone grafting) should not be the refusal criteria for performing the alveolar bone grafting. Although the latter patients may not be rewarded in terms of bony consolidation as much as the preadolescent patients the potential of successful surgery in them still exists in terms of providing a platform for the dental implant placement, improvement in the soft tissue symmetry and aesthetics of the face.

Background: Liposuction–curettage (LC) is a popular and effective surgical method for the treatment of axillary bromhidrosis (AB). However, residual malodour and skin necrosis often appear after this type of surgery. We investigated the efficacy and complications of 4 methods of LC. Methods: A total of 280 patients with AB comprised the study cohort, of which 228 were followed up. We carried out 4 methods of modified tumescent LC through mini-incisions and provided a questionnaire for evaluation of surgical outcome. Evaluations were malodour elimination, scarring, reduced growth of hair, and complications. Mean follow-up was 15 months. Results: The study involved 449 axillae. In patients with LC in the final phase of improvement (programmed and well-organized LC, skin pinching to wrap up the cannula, LC to the skin around 2 surgical incisions, and cotton balls packed in gauze and an elastic set for post-operative management), excellent elimination of malodor was observed in 141 (89.81%) of 157 axillae. Only 4 (2.55%) cases encountered a small area of skin necrosis, and 28 (17.83%) had local damage to the epidermis. Conclusion: These data suggest that LC with a final phase of improvement through mini-incisions is effective for AB treatment.

Background: Linburg-Comstock anomaly is typically defined as a tenosynovial interconnection between flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum profundus tendon of the second finger. There are several studies stating that the current anomaly is congenital or acquired. The aim of this study is to reveal whether overuse, which is mostly reported as an acquired etiologic factor, effective in development of the current anomaly. Methods: Three hundred thirteen medical secretaries who work with computer keyboard at least 6 hours a day were defined as study group. Three hundred twenty-three volunteers without jobs who necessitate continuous and repetitive hand and finger activities were defined as control group. All individuals were examined by an orthopaedic surgeon. Additionally, cases with Linburg-Comstock anomaly were evaluated in respect of forearm pain and subjective findings of carpal tunnel syndrome. Results: Linburg-Comstock anomaly was determined in 27.8% cases of medical secretary group and in 32.2% of healthy control group. In medical secretaries with Linburg-Comstock anomaly, 25.3% had forearm pain and 5.7% had findings of carpal tunnel syndrome. In control group with Linburg-Comstock anomaly, 21.2% had forearm pain and 13.5% had findings of carpal tunnel syndrome. No relationship was found between overuse of the hand and Linburg-Comstock anomaly and the symptoms accompanying the anomaly. Conclusions: The current study reveals that overuse is not an etiologic factor in Linburg-Comstock anomaly existence and related symptoms. We think that the current anomaly develops on congenital basis rather than acquired factors.

Published: March 2018

Background: Plastic surgery residency program directors have an interest in recruiting applicants who show an interest in an academic practice. Medical school achievements (ie, United States Medical Licensing Examination® scores, publications, and Alpha Omega Alpha status) are metrics assessed to grade applicants but may not correlate with ultimately choosing an academic career. Objective: This study was designed to investigate factors influencing residents’ choices for or against academic careers. Methods: A 25-item online questionnaire was designed to measure baseline interest in academic plastic surgery and factors that influence decisions to continue on or abandon that career path. This questionnaire was disseminated to the integrated/combined plastic surgery residents during the 2013 to 2014 academic year. Results: One hundred twenty-five respondents indicated that they were currently interested in pursuing academic practice (n = 78) or had lost interest in academic practice (n = 47). Among all respondents, 92.8% (n = 116) stated they were interested in academic careers at the time of residency application, but one-third (n = 41) subsequently lost interest. Those residents who retained interest in academic careers indicated resident/medical student educational opportunities (57%) and complexity of patients (52%) as reasons. Those who lost interest cited a lack of autonomy (43%), publishing requirements (32%), and income discrepancy (26%) as reasons. Discussion: Many residents report losing interest in academics during residency. Traditional metrics valued in the recruitment process may not serve as positive predictors of an academic career path. Conclusion: Reasons why residents lose interest are not easily correctable, but mentorship, adequate career counseling, and research opportunities during training remain factors that can be addressed across all residency programs.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of IV aminophylline for patients with postdural puncture headache (PDPH).MethodsWe randomly assigned patients to groups receiving either 250 mg IV aminophylline or a placebo within 3 hours of symptom onset once daily for 2 consecutive days. The primary endpoint was headache severity 8 hours after treatment. We assessed this using visual analog scale (VAS) scores taken from patients in a standing position. We also recorded posttreatment VAS score changes, Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scores, and adverse events. We performed an intention-to-treat analysis.ResultsWe enrolled 126 patients with PDPH at 5 centers in China (62 assigned to the aminophylline group and 64 to the placebo group). The median age was 37 years, and 96 (76.2%) patients were women. Compared to the placebo-treated patients, the aminophylline-treated patients had significantly lower mean VAS scores 8 hours after treatment (5.34 vs 2.98, p < 0.001) and were significantly more likely to report improvements on the PGIC (39.1% vs 72.6%, p < 0.01). This therapeutic effect was already evident at the 30-minute time point and persisted for 2 days. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events (4.8% vs 1.6%, p = 0.589).ConclusionsIV aminophylline is an effective and safe early-stage treatment for patients with PDPH.ClinicalTrials.gov identifierNCT02522013.Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class I evidence that for people with PDPH, IV aminophylline reduces headache severity.
The Rest of It
Authors: Duberman Martin 
Published: March 2018

&lt;DIV&gt;For many, the death of a parent marks a low point in their personal lives. For Martin Duberman—a major historian and a founding figure in the history of gay and lesbian studies—the death of his mother was just the beginning of what became a twelve-year period filled with despair, drug addiction, and debauchery. From his cocaine use, massive heart attack, and immersion into New York's gay hustler scene to experiencing near-suicidal depression and attending rehab, The Rest of It is the previously untold and revealing story of how Duberman managed to survive his turbulent personal life while still playing leading roles in the gay community and the academy.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; Despite the hardships, Duberman managed to be incredibly productive: he wrote his biography of Paul Robeson, rededicated himself to teaching, wrote plays, and coedited the prize-winning Hidden from History. His exploration of new paths of scholarship culminated in his founding of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies, thereby inaugurating a new academic discipline. At the outset of the HIV/AIDS epidemic Duberman increased his political activism, and in these pages he also describes the tensions between the New Left and gay organizers, as well as the profound homophobia that created the conditions for queer radical activism. Filled with gossip, featuring cameo appearances by luminaries such as Gore Vidal, Norman Mailer, Vivian Gornick, Susan Brownmiller, Kate Millett, and Néstor Almendros, among many others, and most importantly, written with an unflinching and fearless honesty, The Rest of It provides scathing insights into a troubling decade of both personal and political history. It is a stimulating look into a key period of Duberman's life, which until now had been too painful to share.&lt;/DIV&gt;
Neuromuscular Adaptations to Work-matched Maximal Eccentric versus Concentric Training

Published: March 2018

ABSTRACT
It is unclear whether the superiority of eccentric over concentric training on neuromuscular improvements is due to higher torque (mechanical loading) achievable during eccentric contractions or due to resulting greater total work.

Purpose
This study aimed to examine neuromuscular adaptations after maximal eccentric versus concentric training matched for total work.

Methods
Twelve males conducted single-joint isokinetic (180°·s−1) maximal eccentric contractions of the knee extensors in one leg (ECC-leg) and concentric in the other (CON-leg), 6 sets per session (3–5 sets in the initial 1–3 sessions), 2 sessions per week for 10 wk. The preceding leg performed 10 repetitions per set. The following leg conducted the equivalent volume of work. In addition to peak torque during training, agonist EMG and MRI-based anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA) and transverse relaxation time (T2) at midthigh as reflective of neural drive, hypertrophy, and edema, respectively, were assessed weekly throughout the training period and pre- and posttraining. Whole muscle volume was also measured pre- and posttraining.

Results
Torque and EMG (in trained contraction conditions) significantly increased in both legs after week 1 (W1) and week 4 (W4), respectively, with a greater degree for ECC-leg (torque +76%, EMG +73%: posttraining) than CON-leg (+28%, +20%). ACSA significantly increased after W4 in ECC-leg only (+4%: posttraining), without T2 changes throughout. Muscle volume also increased in ECC-leg only (+4%). Multiple regression analysis revealed that changes (%Δ) in EMG solely explained 53%–80% and 30%–56% of the total variance in %Δtorque through training in ECC-leg and CON-leg, respectively, with small contributions (+13%–18%) of %ΔACSA for both legs.

Conclusion
Eccentric training induces greater neuromuscular changes than concentric training even when matched for total work, whereas most of the strength gains during 10-wk training are attributable to the increased neural drive.
Pamięć i trauma dziedziczona w Krajobrazie z dzieckiem Romana Grena, Oskarżam Auschwitz Mikołaja Grynberga oraz Pensjonacie Piotra Pazińskiego

The Memory and Inherited Trauma in The Landscape with a Child by Roman Gren, I Accuse Auschwitz by Mikołaj Grynberg and The Guesthouse by Piotr Paziński
On the basis of three literary texts quoted in the title of the article, the author analyses and interprets the categories of postmemory and inherited trauma. Roman Gren and Piotr Paziński create fictious nostalgic prose, whereas Mikołaj Grynberg uses a feature genre, i.e. recorded conversations with the Auschwitz survivors’ children. The focal idea and a starting point of the discourse is Marianne Hirsch’s concept of postmemory. The authors of the selected texts attemptto face those experiences. Though differently emotionally and artistically loaded, the texts focus on searching for the traces of ancestors and reconstructing family stories, frequently shrouded in a veil of mystery. Recalling childhood memories,the characters reveal family secrets (Jewish ancestry, the Holocaust experience and repercussions) and gradually begin to understand vague and problematic family relations. All three texts aim at reconstructing the identity of the descendants of the salvaged from Extermination, which allows them to recognize themselves in social, psychological and historical dimensions.

The Alternative Forms of the Historical Memory and Its Socio‑political Considerations in the Discourse about Franco’s Dictatorship Violence Against Republican Children Accompanied by the Novel Mala gente que camina by Benjamín Prado
The paper is an attempt at shedding light on the different approaches towards the historical memory about Spanish Civil War and its socio‑political considerations taken by Spanish authorities since the Franco’s dictatorship was over. For this aim we propose to analyse one of the regime atrocities‑disappearance of republican children, also named stolen children– a crime that was a part of ideological and political repression committed in order to disarticulate republican families. This violence was both silenced and forgotten by the dictatorship regime and democratic governments, but finally it was recover as a part of missing history and memory. With this paper we attempt to highlight a problem of stolen children, not only from the socio‑political considerations, but also from the literary analysis of the novel Mala gente que camina written by Benjamín Prado; the novel that breaks taboo and hegemonic discourses.
Mongolskie oblicza postpamięci

The Faces of Mongolian Postmemory
This article applies the concept of postmemory to demonstrate the relation of modern Mongolia to its own past and history. The authors illustrate how the experience of trauma has influenced formation of Mongolian identity. The concept presented here emerged during the anthropological field research in Mongolia 2012. The article discusses dimensions of collective memory such as identity, trauma, and traditions. These elements create spiral concept of time. The postmemory of traumatic historical collective experience of Mongolia is possible because of nonlinear temporality. Time loop allows continues reference to the power of Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire.

Objectives This study aimed to examine the effects of SRT1720, a potent SIRT1 activator, on osteoarthritis (OA) progression using an experimental OA model. Methods Osteoarthritis was surgically induced by destabilization of the medial meniscus in eight-week-old C57BL/6 male mice. SRT1720 was administered intraperitoneally twice a week after surgery. Osteoarthritis progression was evaluated histologically using the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) score at four, eight, 12 and 16 weeks. The expression of SIRT1, matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13), a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-5 (ADAMTS-5), cleaved caspase-3, PARP p85, and acetylated nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 in cartilage was examined by immunohistochemistry. Synovitis was also evaluated histologically. Primary mouse epiphyseal chondrocytes were treated with SRT1720 in the presence or absence of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and gene expression changes were examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results The OARSI score was signiﬁcantly lower in mice treated with SRT1720 than in control mice at eight and 12 weeks associated with the decreased size of osteophytes at four and eight weeks. The delayed OA progression in the mice treated with SRT1720 was also associated with increased SIRT1-positive chondrocytes and decreased MMP-13-, ADAMTS-5-, cleaved caspase-3-, PARP p85-, and acetylated NF-κB p65-positive chondrocytes and decreased synovitis at four and eight weeks. SRT1720 treatment partially rescued the decreases in collagen type II alpha 1 (COL2A1) and aggrecan caused by IL-1β, while also reducing the induction of MMP-13 by IL-1β in vitro. Conclusion The intraperitoneal injection of SRT1720 attenuated experimental OA progression in mice, indicating that SRT1720 could be a new therapeutic approach for OA. Cite this article: K.

Zwischen Tradition und Emanzipation
Authors: Grubišić Pulišelić Eldi 
Published: March 2018

Summary
This paper analyses the criticism of the position of women, the existing gender relations and marriage in women’s literature at the end of the 19th century, taking the examples of the novel Plein air (1897) by Croatian author Jagoda Truhelka (1864–1957) and of the short story Wieder die Alte (1886) by Austrian writer Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830–1916). These authors, from the area of the then Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, in spite of different ethnicity, but also of different social status, published stories in the late 19th century where they discussed a similar topic. Both authors are concerned with the issue of women’s work and existence outside or inside civil marriage, but the endings of their works are completely different. While Truhelka’s heroine manages to realize a marriage of love, the heroine of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach becomes a victim of existing social relationships. Despite the sharp critique of patriarchy and the disruption of the stereotype of a woman as an angel in the home in Plein air, at the end of the novel there is a harmonization of interpersonal relations and the resolution of all existing conflicts, both at a personal and socio-political level. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach does not show such optimism in Wieder die Alte and her emancipated women are left alone to build their moral integrity into a life without male love. However, we can conclude Truhelka’s, as well as Ebner-Eschenbach’s heroine remain trapped between tradition and emancipation because of, or despite the fact that love shows (no) power in the tyranny of society.
Three Ways of Defining Owa Operator on the Set of All Normal Convex Fuzzy Sets
Authors: Takáč Zdenko 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
We deal with an extension of ordered weighted averaging (OWA, for short) operators to the set of all normal convex fuzzy sets in [0, 1]. The main obstacle to achieve this goal is the non-existence of a linear order for fuzzy sets. Three ways of dealing with the lack of a linear order on some set and defining OWA operators on the set appeared in the recent literature. We adapt the three approaches for the set of all normal convex fuzzy sets in [0, 1] and study their properties. It is shown that each of the three approaches leads to operator with desired algebraic properties, and two of them are also linear.
