Published: November 2018

Objective: The aim of the present research was to compared differences among the organic and conventional farming system in fibres quality properties of some cotton varieties under semi arid climatic conditions of Turkey.Material and Methods: This research was carried out by using the ST-468 and BA-119 cotton varieties in three replications, according to the randomized block split parcel trial design under organic farmland conditions in 2013-2014 growing seasons; NPK, Biofarm (cattle fertilizer) and pigeon manure and control plots (without fertilizer).Results: It was found that the seed cotton yield varied from 3594.8 (ST-468) to 3737.4 kg ha-1 (BA-119) in the varieties and the highest yield was obtained from the BA-119 with 3737.4 kg ha-1. It was determined that there was a statistical important difference between two varieties in terms of seed cotton yield. We think that this efficiency difference between varieties is caused by genetic and environmental factors. The result of fertilization applications was changed between 3370.0 (cattle manure) and 4424.5 kg ha-1 (chemical fertilization) and the highest seed cotton yield was obtained from chemical (NPK) fertilization applies.Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it has been concluded that the cotton produced in the conventional production conditions is heavily contaminated with chemical inputs and this has negative effects on the pollution of the environment.

Pneumonia is still a major cause of infant mortality in the world amounted to 18% of infant mortality caused by pneumonia, nor in Indonesia amounted to 13% of infant mortality contributed by pneumonia and pneumonia incidence was highest in children aged 1–4 years. Some of the possible interventions to reduce the incidence of pneumonia is exclusive breastfeeding, immunization that associated with pneumonia, and reduce air pollution in the house. This type of research is an analytic observational with case control design. Case population is all toddlers diagnosed with pneumonia in the August to December 2015 period, while the control population is all children who are diagnosed does not pneumonia in the period. The method used for this research is total sampling which resulted of 40 toddlers. The independent variables used were a history of exclusive breastfeeding and the room ventilation. The results of this study are exclusive breastfeeding (OR = 7.407) and the room ventilation (OR = 13.5) at risk for pneumonia. Based on these results the government must improve the dissemination of exclusive breastfeeding, one of them with advertising. Parents of toddlers must improve air circulation in the room by improving size of ventilation or manipulate the air condition of toddler room to better circulation, of one of them by giving the fan and blower installation in toddler rooms.Keywords:exclusive breastfeeding, risk factor, room ventilation, toddler pneumonia.

Theoretically, in the labor market without discrimination, wages should be paid according to productivity. Unlike other studies that use worker level data, this study will identify gender wage discrimination using ﬁrm-level data. Using Industrial Survey Data in 1996 and 2006, the gender wage ratio and gender productivity ratio were estimated simultaneously using the nonlinear seemingly unrelated regression (NLSUR) with least square estimator. We ﬁnd that there is wage discrimination against women in the manufacturing sector. After disaggregating the ﬁrms by trade orientation, we show that wage discrimination against women occurs in non-exporting ﬁrms. While in exporting ﬁrms there is no wage discrimination. ========================= Secara teori, di pasar kerja yang tidak ada diskriminasi, seharusnya upah dibayar sesuai dengan produktivitas. Berbeda dengan penelitian lain yang menggunakan data level pekerja, penelitian ini akan mengidentiﬁkasi diskriminasi upah antargender dengan menggunakan data di level perusahaan. Dengan menggunakan data Industri Besar dan Sedang tahun 1996 dan 2006, rasio upah gender dan rasio produktivitas gender diestimasi secara simultan menggunakan metode non-linear seemingly unrelated regression (NLSUR) dengan estimator least square. Penelitian ini menemukan bukti ada diskriminasi upah terhadap perempuan di sektor manufaktur. Setelah mendisagregasi perusahaan berdasarkan status ekspor, diskriminasi upah terhadap perempuan ditemukan di perusahaan non-eksportir, sedangkan di perusahaan eksportir tidak ditemukan diskriminasi upah.

Objectives. To determine the association between poison center opioid exposure calls and National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) deaths. Methods. We categorized Centers for Disease Control and Prevention NVSS mortality and the Researched Abuse, Diversion and Addiction-Related Surveillance System poison center program cases from 2006 to 2016 by International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, codes (heroin [T40.1]; natural or semisynthetic opioids [T40.2]; methadone [T40.3]; synthetic opioids, other than methadone [T40.4]). We scaled rates by 100 000 population and calculated Pearson correlation coefficients. Sensitivity analysis excluded polysubstance cases involving either heroin or synthetic opioids as well as natural and semisynthetic opioids. Results. The NVSS mortality and poison center program exposure rates showed similar trends from 2006 to 2012, and diverged after 2012 for all opioids combined, natural and semisynthetic opioids, and synthetic opioids (r = −0.37, −0.12, and 0.30, respectively). Sensitivity analysis with removal of heroin or synthetic opioid polysubstance deaths markedly improved correlations for all opioids combined and natural and semisynthetic opioids (r = 0.87 and 0.36, respectively). Conclusions. The NVSS mortality and poison center exposure rates showed similar trends from 2006 to 2012 then diverged, with sensitivity analysis suggesting polysubstance cases also involving heroin or illicit fentanyl as the cause. Public Health Implications. The NVSS and poison center program may provide complementary data when trends diverge. Public health interventions must include both licit and illicit opioids for maximal impact.

Published: November 2018

Background:
A complete understanding of the variables that influence patient satisfaction has yet to be reached. The purpose of this study was to determine whether patient-reported physical function, pain, and/or anxiety are associated with patient satisfaction in a hand and upper-extremity outpatient setting.

Methods:
This is a cohort study of 1,160 adult patients presenting to an upper-extremity (non-shoulder) clinic from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2016, who completed functional patient-reported outcome measures (PROMIS [Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System] Physical Function, PROMIS Upper Extremity, and abbreviated Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scale [QuickDASH]) and psychological patient-reported outcome measures (PROMIS Anxiety and PROMIS Pain Interference) immediately prior to their physician encounter. After the clinic visit, included patients filled out the Press Ganey Medical Practice satisfaction survey online. Logistic regression models were used to predict overall patient satisfaction and satisfaction with the care provider among all, new, and return clinic visit types from the patient-reported functional and psychological measures, controlling for age and provider.

Results:
Among all visit types, there was a significant negative association of both pain and anxiety with patient satisfaction, whereby a 10-point increase in PROMIS Pain Interference (higher self-reported pain symptomatology) was associated with a 17% decrease in the odds of overall satisfaction (odds ratio [OR], 0.83 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.71 to 0.98]; p = 0.03), and a 10-point increase in PROMIS Anxiety (higher self-reported anxiety) was associated with a 16% decrease in the odds of satisfaction with the care provider (OR, 0.84 [95% CI, 0.72 to 0.97]; p = 0.02). A significant positive association was found between higher levels of self-reported physical function and new-patient satisfaction with their care provider (OR, 1.22 [95% CI, 1.02 to 1.47]; p = 0.03). Among return patient visits, there was a negative association with overall patient satisfaction between both pain interference (OR, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.58 to 0.98]; p = 0.04) and anxiety (OR, 0.69 [95% CI, 0.53 to 0.89]; p < 0.01).

Conclusions:
In hand and upper-extremity (non-shoulder) clinic visits, pre-encounter levels of patient-reported physical function, anxiety, and pain were significantly associated with patient satisfaction with the care provided. As the U.S. health-care system increasingly utilizes satisfaction scores in payment models and in quality assessment, these associations may influence how such metrics are interpreted and are utilized.

Published: November 2018

Background:
Massive rotator cuff tears are challenging to treat, with few or no studies on long-term outcomes of repair. The purpose of this study was to report 10-year outcomes following repair of massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears, with and without extension into the subscapularis, and to determine prognostic factors that could influence clinical scores and retear rates.

Methods:
The records of 234 patients who underwent repair of a massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tear at a total of 15 centers were retrieved. Patients were asked to return for evaluation at 10 years; 78 patients could not be contacted, 7 had died, and 19 had undergone a reoperation. A total of 130 patients (68% men) with a mean age (and standard deviation) of 56.1 ± 7.7 years (range, 26 to 79 years) were evaluated clinically, and 102 of them were also evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The tear was confined to the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons in 94 shoulders and also involved the superior portion of the subscapularis in 36 shoulders. Univariable and multivariable regressions were performed to determine whether 10-year total Constant-Murley scores and repair integrity were associated with patient characteristics, tear patterns, or repair techniques.

Results:
In the study cohort, complications were noted in 14 shoulders (11%) (stiffness in 10 and infection in 4). For the 130 shoulders evaluated clinically, the mean total Constant-Murley score improved from 53.1 ± 15.9 (range, 14 to 83) preoperatively to 78.5 ± 11.3 (range, 36 to 98) at 10 years. Of the 102 shoulders evaluated using MRI, 32 had a retear (Sugaya type IV or V). Of the 19 shoulders that underwent a reoperation (excluded from the study cohort), 9 had a retear. The overall prevalence of retears was 34%. Multivariable regression analysis revealed a significant association between the 10-year Constant-Murley score and preoperative retraction of the infraspinatus tendon, but no association between retears and any of the variables. Involvement of the subscapularis had no significant effect on preoperative or postoperative Constant-Murley scores or retear rates.

Conclusions:
Patients who had repair of a massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tear maintained considerable improvements in clinical and radiographic outcomes at 10 years. Partial concomitant tears of the subscapularis did not affect the total postoperative Constant-Murley scores or retear rates.

Authors: Shimozono Yoshiharu , Hurley Eoghan T. , Nguyen Joseph T. , Deyer Timothy W. , Kennedy John G. 
Published: November 2018

Background:
There is a paucity of clinical studies that compare the efficacy of autograft and allograft in osteochondral transplantation for treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes following osteochondral transplantation with autograft or allograft for OLT.

Methods:
A retrospective analysis comparing patients treated with autograft or allograft for OLT was performed. Clinical outcomes were evaluated with use of the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and the Short Form-12 (SF-12) score. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was evaluated with use of the Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue (MOCART) score. The rates of cyst occurrence, graft degradation, graft failure, and revision surgeries were also evaluated.

Results:
Twenty-five nonrandomized patients with autograft and 16 with allograft were included, with a mean follow-up of 26 months in the autograft group and 22 months in the allograft group. There were no significant differences among all demographic variables between the autograft and allograft groups. The mean postoperative FAOS was significantly higher in the autograft group (81.9; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 78.6 to 85.2) than in the allograft group (70.1; 95% CI: 63.7 to 76.5; p = 0.006). Similarly, the mean postoperative SF-12 scores were significantly higher in the autograft group (74.7; 95% CI: 71.0 to 78.4) than in the allograft group (66.1; 95% CI: 61.2 to 71.0; p = 0.021). MOCART scores were significantly better in the autograft group (87.1) than in the allograft group (75.5; p = 0.005). The rate of chondral wear on MRI was higher in the allograft group (53%) than in the autograft group (4%; p < 0.001). Cyst formation in the graft itself was more likely to occur in the allograft group (47%) than in the autograft group (8%; p = 0.017). The rate of secondary procedures for the graft was higher in the allograft group (25%) than in the autograft group (0%; p = 0.009).

Conclusions:
In this small nonrandomized cohort study, the procedures performed with use of an autograft provided better clinical and MRI outcomes than the allograft procedures. The rate of chondral wear on MRI was higher with allograft than with autograft, and allograft-treated patients had a higher rate of clinical failure.

Published: November 2018

Background:
International surgeon series and registry data have demonstrated positive outcomes and long-term survival of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) implant. We report the 5 to 10-year results from a single center in the U.S.

Methods:
Three hundred and fourteen patients (360 hips) underwent surface replacement arthroplasty with use of the BHR implant and consented to study participation. Patient-reported outcomes and complication and revision data were collected at a minimum of 5 years of follow-up for 93% (324 of 350) of the hips in surviving patients. A matched-cohort analysis was used to compare clinical outcomes between use of the BHR and total hip arthroplasty.

Results:
Mean modified Harris hip score (mHHS) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) scores significantly improved postoperatively, to 89.9 and 8.0, respectively (p < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier estimated rate of survival for all-cause revision was 97.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 94.7% to 98.5%) and 93.8% (95% CI, 88.8% to 96.7%) at 5 and 10 years, respectively. In a subgroup analysis of patients fitting our current BHR inclusion criteria (males <60 years of age with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis and anatomy conducive to a femoral head component of ≥48 mm), survival free of aseptic revision was 99.5% (95% CI, 96.6% to 99.9%) at 5 years and 98.2% (95% CI, 94.4% to 99.4%) at 10 years. Fourteen patients (4.3% of all hips) required revision. Postoperative UCLA scores were significantly greater for BHR compared with total hip arthroplasty (mean score of 8.0 ± 2.0 versus 7.6 ± 1.8; p = 0.040) in a matched-cohort analysis, with patients matched according to preoperative UCLA score, diagnosis, age, sex, and body mass index. Among matched patients who were highly active preoperatively (UCLA score of 9 to 10), BHR provided a smaller median decrease in the postoperative UCLA score (0.0 versus 1.0; p < 0.001), which was clinically important according to the minimal clinically important difference (MCID, 0.92). Furthermore, BHR provided a greater likelihood of remaining highly active compared with total hip arthroplasty (61% compared with 20%; p < 0.001).

Conclusions:
BHR demonstrated excellent survivorship and clinical outcomes at 5 to 10 years in selected patients. As compared with total hip arthroplasty, the use of the BHR may provide highly active patients with clinically important advantages in postoperative activity as well as a greater likelihood of remaining highly active. Continued follow-up is necessary to validate long-term BHR outcomes.

Experimental Validation of the Radiographic Union Score for Tibial Fractures (RUST) Using Micro-Computed Tomography Scanning and Biomechanical Testing in an in-Vivo Rat Model
Authors: Fiset Sandra , Godbout Charles , Crookshank Meghan C. , Zdero Radovan , Nauth Aaron , Schemitsch Emil H. 
Published: November 2018

Background:The Radiographic Union Score for Tibial fractures (RUST) and the modified version of the system, mRUST, are popular standards for assessing fracture-healing progress with use of radiographs. To our knowledge, this is the first study to experimentally validate the ability of RUST and mRUST to accurately assess bone-healing progression with use of both micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scanning and biomechanical testing.Methods:Adult male rats (n = 29) underwent osteotomy with a midshaft fracture gap repaired with use of a polyetheretherketone plate. Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were made of the repaired femora prior to rat death at end points of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 17 weeks, and 2 fellowship-trained orthopaedic trauma surgeons independently assigned RUST and mRUST scores to repaired femora. The repaired and intact contralateral femora were then dissected. Bones underwent dissection, micro-CT scanning, and biomechanical torsion testing at the end points.Results:RUST scores ranged from 5 to 12 and mRUST scores ranged from 5 to 16. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were 0.89 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.78 to 0.94) for RUST and 0.86 (95% CI: 0.74 to 0.93) for mRUST, which fall within the “almost perfect agreement” category for ICCs. Spearman rank correlation coefficients (RS) showed correlation of RUST (RSrange, 0.456 to 0.818) and mRUST (RSrange, 0.519 to 0.862) with micro-CT measurements of mineralized callus volume (BV), total callus volume (TV), and BV/TV ratio, but less so with bone mineral density (BMD). Additionally, RUST (RSrange, 0.524 to 0.863) and mRUST (RSrange, 0.434 to 0.850) were correlated with some biomechanical properties. A RUST score of 10 or an mRUST score of 15 may be considered the threshold above which a plated bone is “healed” because, at these scores, 120% or 140% of failure torque, respectively, was achieved by the repaired femora as compared with the intact contralateral femora.Conclusions:RUST and mRUST both show strong statistical correlations with micro-CT and biomechanical parameters.Clinical Relevance:RUST and mRUST scoring systems provide clinicians with validated, reliable, and available tools to assess the progress of fracture-healing.
