Scaffolds in the management of massive rotator cuff tears: current concepts and literature review
Authors: Karuppaiah Karthik , Sinha Joydeep 
Published: September 2019

Injuries to the rotator cuff (RC) are common and could alter shoulder kinematics leading to arthritis. Synthetic and biological scaffolds are increasingly being used to bridge gaps, augment RC repair and enhance healing potential. Our review evaluates the clinical applications, safety and outcome following the use of scaffolds in massive RC repair. A search was performed using EBSCO-Hosted Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane and PubMed using various combinations of the keywords ‘rotator cuff’, ‘scaffold’, ‘biological scaffold’, ‘massive rotator cuff tear’ ‘superior capsular reconstruction’ and ‘synthetic scaffold’ between 1966 and April 2018. The studies that were most relevant to the research question were selected. All articles relevant to the subject were retrieved, and their bibliographies hand searched. Synthetic, biosynthetic and biological scaffolds are increasingly being used for the repair/reconstruction of the rotator cuff. Allografts and synthetic grafts have revealed more promising biomechanical and early clinical results than xenografts. The retear rates and local inflammatory reactions were alarmingly high in earlier xenografts. However, this trend has reduced considerably with newer versions. Synthetic patches have shown lower retear rates and better functional outcome than xenografts and control groups. The use of scaffolds in the treatment of rotator cuff tear continues to progress. Analysis of the current literature supports the use of allografts and synthetic grafts in the repair of massive cuff tears in reducing the retear rate and to provide good functional outcome. Though earlier xenografts have been fraught with complications, results from newer ones are promising. Prospective randomized controlled trials from independent centres are needed before widespread use can be recommended.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2019;4:557-566. DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.4.180040

Published: September 2019

Abstract
Although existing evidence suggests an increased prevalence mental and behavioral health conditions for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), little is known about health service utilization patterns related to these conditions. This study provides population-based data on hospital service utilization. Medicaid claims for people under 65 years of age in Massachusetts were used (years 2008-2013) to identify a cohort of people with IDD. Utilization of inpatient hospitalizations and outpatient Emergency Department (ED) was compared with the U.S. and MA general population through risk ratios. Findings suggest mental and behavioral health conditions were major contributors to increased utilization of inpatient and outpatient ED services and underscore the need for community-based service options that understand how to treat these conditions in people with IDD and address the myriad of related factors to identify, treat, and minimize the potential adverse life impact of these conditions for people with IDD.

Application of CAPS markers for diversity assessment in grass pea (Lathyrus sativusL.)
Authors: Shiferaw Eleni , Porceddu Enrico , Pé Enrico , Ponnaiah Maharajah 
Published: September 2019

AbstractGenetic diversity among 20Lathyrus sativusL. accessions from Ethiopia was investigated by using Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence (CAPS) markers. Genetic diversity statistics showed presence of a moderate level of genetic variation in the analysed accessions (P = 69.77%, Hs = 0.278). Analysis of genetic differentiation showed existence of a low level of differentiation between accessions, which accounted for only 7% of the total variation and most of the variation was due to differences among individuals within accessions (93%). Both cluster and principal coordinate analyses revealed minimal grouping of accessions based on geographical origin implying that local varieties of grass pea with different genetic backgrounds were distributed among various administrative regions in Ethiopia. The CAPS markers employed in our study demonstrated the utility of such markers for genetic diversity assessment in grass pea.

Abstract

Background
The aim of this study was to compare transabdominal and transcervical chorionic villus sampling (CVS) as well as amniocentesis (AC) with respect to their rates of premature delivery and fetal growth restriction.

Methods
We retrospectively evaluated the mentioned procedures of invasive prenatal testing performed in a single center between 2001 and 2016. Seven hundred and ninety-nine cases of AC and 719 cases of CVS were included, of which 400 were performed transvaginally. Only singleton pregnancies with a normal karyotype and delivery after 24 + 0 weeks of gestation were included. Fetal growth restriction was defined as birth weight below the 10th percentile. Premature delivery was defined as delivery before 37 + 0 weeks of gestation. Data were compared to a control group without an invasive procedure.

Results
The frequency of premature delivery was 8.5% after transabdominal CVS, 6.3% after transcervical CVS and 10.5% after AC as compared to 10.8% in the control group. The frequency of fetal growth restriction was 8.2% after transabdominal CVS 6.8% after transcervical CVS and 8.4% after AC as compared to 9.7% in the control group.

Conclusion
Our study supports that the three different methods of invasive prenatal testing do not lead to a higher risk of either premature delivery or fetal growth restriction when compared to controls. We found no difference in risk profile among the three techniques.

Authors: Biały Witold , Fries Jiri 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Computer systems supporting the management of machines operation and maintenance in companies have been successfully applied in many branches of industry. Over the last few years these systems have been considerably transformed. It also seems that using them for operating mining machines in hard coal mines is inevitable, as maintenance generates high production costs. If implemented, the systems will allow for optimization of stocks, spare parts and materials, supplies, outsourced services as well as maintenance-repair works. Application of a system supporting the management of mining machines/equipment will also enable a better, more effective use of employees. As a result of these actions, the time needed for preparations and repair will be shortened, which will translate directly into the economic effects of mines.
The Selected Results of the Experimental Research of Solid Fuel Pneumatic Transportation to Ship’s Boiler

Published: September 2019

AbstractThe article presents the problems related to the application of alternative fuel like solid biomass in the shipbuilding. The decreasing resources of the crude oil, the requirements regarding environmental protection as well as the increase of the liquid fuel prices were the reason for the study. The solid biomass comparing to the liquid or gaseous forms has relatively low calorific value. In order to increase this value the solid biomass is subject to the densification or torrefaction process and most often occurs in the shape of pellets. In this form it could be useful on ships. A test stand has been characterised where it can be experimentally verified whether ship’s rolling does affect the changes in flow resistance values during the pneumatic transportation of solid fuel from the storage facility to the boiler. On the basis of the measurements the hydraulic characteristics have been provided for the piping located on the movable platform with and without granular material. The changes in the platform oscillation period have influence on the change in the pressure inside transport piping for each investigated material. The results also show that the platform constantly inclinations do exert an influence on the pressure drop in the transport pipeline during transporting the granular material. It is smaller when the position is inclined. Comparing the results obtained for the different transported materials of a similar nature of the pressure fluctuations could be observed.
Technology Assessment in a Globalized World

Published: September 2019

Abstract
The interaction between science and policy is affected by increasingly dissolving boundaries whereby a number of issues arise, such as, what should political advice for national parliaments consist of in the face of global socio-technical developments? The Internet of Things in relation to Big Data resulting in enormously fast analysis of huge amounts of data, accelerates the dissolution of boundaries between science, society and policy at global level. This type of “globalization” raises questions that concern very diverse and intimate areas of life, ranging from food to health to work automation. How can access to science and technology in very different societal settings can be enabled, while also accounting for global developments? The article deals with the assumption that global effects of science and technology as well as global challenges lead to an urgent need to develop methodologies for analyzing and also shaping these developments. Under the umbrella term “Global Technology Assessment” (Global TA) it is argued that the problem-oriented, interdisciplinary methodology of technology assessment offers a promising frame to deal with cultural and ethical questions in relation to emerging technologies. This framework is needed in order to be able to develop meaningful national comparisons, but also in order to be able to approach the analysis of common future challenges on equal footing.

Published: September 2019

Abstract
Food packaging is the most important output of the printing industry. Giving antibacterial effect to the papers used in food packaging will extend the shelf life of the product and food transfer in healthier conditions. The nanoparticles with known antibacterial activity are nanosilver, nanogold, nanosilica. Binders used in paper coating provide a good nutrient medium for bacteria. In this study, Ag nanoparticles was first synthesized as monodisperse in 10 nm size with polyvinyl pyrrolidone and sodium boron reaction which will give antibacterial properties to paper coatings. The chemical structure of the synthesized Ag nanoparticles is illuminated by fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). Different paper coating formulations containing varying amounts of Ag nanoparticles were prepared with starch binder. Using these mixtures; papers coated with a laboratory-type paper coating machine onto 80 g/m2 paper. Color, gloss, contact angle, surface energy, antibacterial properties of the paper against the E. coli bacteria and S. aureus bacteria were examined. As a result, Ag nanoparticles has been successfully synthesized and used in paper coating. Antibacterial and printability properties were improved by increasing the amount of Ag nanoparticles.

Published: September 2019

Abstract
The aim of this exploratory research is to examine the foreign direct investment (FDI) – financial development (FD) nexus and to analyse the strength of relationships among FDI measures. The study employed structural equation modelling (SEM) on selected data from the World Development Indicators (WDI) from 1979 to 2016 to achieve the modest goal of this paper. The study established that FDI inflows are precursors of a vibrant and well-developed financial institution in emerging economies. We also found positive and negative correlations amongst the FDI measures, which suggest they move pari passu in stimulating the FD of an economy. A notable feature of this study is in the employment of SEM empirical strategy to shed light on the FDI-FI nexus. The study concluded that emerging economies must focus on the creation of a congenial investment climate to attract FDI inflows, which pivots robust financial institutions because of their cascading effects on the overall economy.
Macroprudential Policies and Economic Growth

Published: September 2019

Abstract
In this paper we assess the effectiveness of macroprudential policies in ensuring a sustainable contribution of the financial sector to economic growth. Our results sustain that macroprudential policies have beneficial effects on economic growth, expressed by the GDP per capita growth rate. Macroprudential policies, adopted to strengthen the resilience of the financial system and decrease the buildup of systemic risks, contribute to the economic growth by assuring a stable financial system, and, therefore, a healthier financial-macro relationship. Macroprudential policies that target financial institutions have greater impact on real economy compared with borrower-related macroprudential policies.

Abstract
A heteroleptic silver(I) complex of bis(diphenylphosphano)methane (DPPM) and thiourea (tu) with the formula [Ag2(DPPM)2(tu)3](NO3)2 · 2H2O (1) was prepared and characterized by infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H, 13C, and 31P) spectroscopic methods, and X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure determination has shown that the complex (1) is dinuclear having each silver(I) ion coordinated by two phosphorus atoms of DPPM molecules and two sulfur atoms of tu ligands adopting a distorted tetrahedral environment. The two silver atoms are bridged by one of the three tu molecules. The other two tu ligands are coordinated in a terminal mode; one with each silver(I) ion. The dinuclear units are associated to each other through hydrogen bonding interactions to form a three-dimensional network in the solid state. Complex 1 showed significant activity against two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and molds (Aspergillus niger, Penicillium citrinum), while the activities were poor towards yeasts (Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae).
Treatment of Concurrent Microstructure Evolution and Deviation from Steady-State Flow in Constitutive Relationship for Superplastic Deformation
Authors: Kashyap B. P. 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Superplasticity is the ability of certain polycrystalline materials to exhibit exceptionally large elongations by grain boundary sliding and its accommodation by diffusion, dislocation slip, or both. One of the critical requirements for this phenomenon to occur is the fine equiaxed grains, which should be stable during deformation at elevated temperature. Under this condition, there exists a unique relationship between stress and strain rate as a function of temperature and grain size, with the high values of strain rate sensitivity index m of greater than 0.3. However, there is ample evidence of the variation in flow stress with strain along with concurrent microstructural evolution. Often the microstructures are known not to be equiaxed yet exhibit superplasticity by rapid change in morphology and size during early stage of deformation. This leads to flow softening and hardening with strain as a result of the dominance of one type of change over the other. Mechanistically, accommodation of grain boundary sliding by grain boundary migration leads to grain growth, resulting in flow hardening, whereas the absence of the same may cause the formation of cavities because of stress concentration at triple points and at two-phase or particle–matrix interphase boundaries. In view of this, the constitutive relationship needs to be modified by incorporating the dependence of stress on strain and concurrent microstructure changes. The present work critically examines the nature of stress–strain curves and microstructure evolution in an attempt to account for the non–steady-state flow and attain a generalized form of constitutive relationship for superplastic deformation. An attempt is made to quantify the variations in flow stress and microstructures interdependently as well as with strain by exploring the suitable trend lines. These equations can numerically and physically help in correlating the microscopic and macroscopic properties to the mechanisms for superplastic deformation.
