Authors: Rundgren Johanna , Mellstrand Navarro Cecilia , Ponzer Sari , Regberg Alf , Serenius Stephan , Enocson Anders 
Published: July 2019

Background:
Most patients undergoing surgery for the treatment of a distal radial fracture are treated in a day-surgery setting and are given either general anesthesia (GA) or regional anesthesia (RA). The main purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the anesthesia method on patients’ postoperative opioid consumption during the first 3 days following surgery.

Methods:
This was a single-center randomized clinical trial. A total of 88 patients aged 18 to 74 years who were undergoing day surgery for the treatment of a displaced distal radial fracture with volar-plate fixation were randomized to GA (n = 44) or RA with a supraclavicular brachial plexus blockade (n = 44). The primary outcome was total opioid equivalent consumption (OEC) during the first 3 postoperative days (72 hours). Secondary outcomes included OEC during days 1, 2, and 3, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain scores, maximum pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, perioperative time consumption (surgical, preoperative, and postoperative anesthesia care time), functional outcomes, and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) and EuroQol-5 Dimensions-3 Levels (EQ-5D-3L) scores up to 6 months.

Results:
The total median OEC during the first 3 postoperative days was 85 mg (range, 0 to 218 mg) in the GA group and 60 mg (range, 3 to 150 mg) in the RA group (p = 0.1). The groups differed significantly in OEC and VAS for pain scores during the first 24 hours after surgery; the median OEC was higher in the GA group before discharge (p < 0.001), while it was higher in the RA group after discharge (p < 0.001). Patients in the GA group reported more pain immediately after surgery (median score, 6; width of interquartile range [IQR], 7) and at 2 hours postoperatively (median score, 2; width of IQR, 3) compared with patients in the RA group (median score, 0; width of IQR, 0 at both time points) (p < 0.001). Maximum pain occurred at a median of 1 hour (range, 1 hour to 22 hours) after the end of surgery in the GA group compared with a median of 11 hours (range, 1 hour to 24 hours) in the RA group (p < 0.001). The total median perioperative time consumption was 244 minutes (range, 114 to 389 minutes) in the GA group compared with 146 minutes (range, 74 to 390 minutes) in the RA group (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in functional outcomes or PRWE or EQ-5D-3L scores at 6 months.

Conclusions:
The anesthesia method (GA vs. RA) significantly influenced the early patterns of postoperative pain and opioid consumption after surgical treatment of a distal radial fracture, but neither total OEC over the first 3 postoperative days nor longer-term outcomes differed between the groups.

Cemented Versus Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty of the Same Modern Design
Authors: Nam Denis , Lawrie Charles M. , Salih Rondek , Nahhas Cindy R. , Barrack Robert L. , Nunley Ryan M. 
Published: July 2019

Background:
Highly porous surfaces promoting biologic fixation have renewed interest in cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but the potential for failed biologic fixation remains. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of cemented and cementless versions of the same TKA design at an average of 2 years postoperatively.

Methods:
This was an institutional review board-approved, prospective, randomized controlled trial of patients from 18 to 75 years of age who were undergoing a primary TKA. Patients with inflammatory arthritis, a body mass index (BMI) of >40 kg/m2, infection, a neuromuscular disorder, or grossly osteoporotic bone or bone defects were excluded. Patients were randomized to receive a cemented or cementless cruciate-retaining TKA of the same design. The cementless implant has highly porous fixation surfaces. Oxford Knee, Knee Society, and Forgotten Joint Scores were collected. Patients were asked to rate the knee with the TKA as a percentage of normal. Power analysis indicated that 130 patients were necessary to demonstrate a 5-point difference in the Oxford Knee Score at 90% power.

Results:
One hundred and forty-seven patients were enrolled, and 141 (96%) of them were analyzed at an average of 2 years postoperatively. There was no difference in age, sex, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, or duration of follow-up (p = 0.1 to 0.9). There was also no difference in the change in the hemoglobin level from the preoperative measurement to postoperative day 1 between the 2 cohorts (mean and standard deviation, −2.6 ± 1.4 g/dL compared with −2.5 ± 0.9 g/dL, p = 0.5), but the total operative time was decreased in the cementless cohort (82.1 ± 16.6 compared with 93.7 ± 16.7 minutes, p = 0.001). There were no differences in any clinical outcome measure at 4 to 6 weeks, 1 year, or an average of 2 years postoperatively (p = 0.1 to 0.9) between the cemented and cementless cohorts. There was no radiographic evidence of component subsidence or loosening in either cohort.

Conclusions:
This study demonstrated that a recently introduced cementless TKA had results, both perioperatively and at an average of 2 years postoperatively, that were equivalent to those of its cemented predecessor, without any aseptic failures of either implant. Thus, this study justifies continued surveillance of this device to elucidate both its survivorship and if it can provide any long-term benefits.

Surgical Repair of an Avulsed Distal Flexor Carpi Radialis Tendon in a Boxer
Authors: Berthiaume Emily A. , Hagopian Thomas M. , Cohen Myles J. , Millstein Eric S. , Kulber David A. 
Published: July 2019

Case:
A 25-year-old professional boxer presented with a right distal flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon avulsion after sustaining an injury while boxing. The avulsion was identified and confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging, and the tendon was successfully reinserted into the trapezium. The patient returned to professional boxing 10 months later without complication.

Conclusions:
Distal FCR tendon avulsions are rare. Occasionally, this tendon can avulse after an application of excessive force. For some patients, unrepaired distal FCR tendon avulsions may prevent competitive performance. In this case, the tendon was reattached to the trapezium to aid wrist motion and stability, which are essential for professional boxing.

Authors: Erickson Brandon J. , DiCarlo Edward F. , Brause Barry , Callahan Lisa , Hannafin Jo 
Published: July 2019

Case:
There has been a recent campaign to vaccinate patients in an effort to prevent widespread flu pandemic. Although the complication rate after vaccine is low, there have been reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome and shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). In this case presentation, we discuss a patient who developed a large lytic lesion in the proximal humerus after a deeply administered flu shot.

Conclusions:
SIRVA is a rare cause of shoulder pain after injections, but one that progresses and often necessitates operative management. Clinicians should be wary of persistent shoulder pain after a flu shot.
Closed Distal Dislocation of the Intermediate Cuneiform in a Complex Lisfranc Fracture-Dislocation
Authors: Asuma Matti P. , Mansfield Taylor D. , Turner Eric K. , Robbins Justin 
Published: July 2019

Case:
A 21-year-old, active duty male sustained an irreducible, complex Lisfranc fracture-dislocation with distal extrusion of his intermediate cuneiform. He was treated in a staged manner with external fixator placement, followed by an extended midfoot fusion with autograft bone. At 19 months, he could perform all activities of daily living independently with minimal pain using an Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis.

Conclusions:
Complex Lisfranc injuries are severe and often result in chronic pain and disability after operative management. To our knowledge, this is the only case report describing a Lisfranc fracture-dislocation with a distally extruded intermediate cuneiform treated with a fusion.
Excisional Curettage of Benign Cystic Lesions
Authors: Ibe Izuchukwu K. , Alder Kareme D. , Henderson Shasta E. , Yu Kristin E. , Lee Francis Y. 
Published: July 2019

Background:
There are many treatment modalities for benign cystic lesions of bone, but all methods, except for total resection, are plagued with varying rates of recurrence
1
. Thorough curettage with the use of a high-speed burr, however, has demonstrated a low recurrence rate of 12% and has been suggested to be the best method for the treatment of benign cystic lesions. Approximately 90% of aneurysmal bone cysts can be controlled adequately with this treatment alone
2
.

Description:
Treatment of benign cystic lesions of bone with the use of excisional curettage requires careful preoperative planning and patient positioning before the initial incision is made. The initial incision must be carefully planned to expose the entire lesion without violating multiple compartments unnecessarily. A sizeable cortical window must then be made using a high-speed burr followed by evacuation of all cystic contents via curettage. The cavity is copiously irrigated before an adjuvant is used, and the lesion is stabilized, if necessary, before closing.

Alternatives:
There are many types of alternatives to curettage, such as wide resection, radiation, and embolization of feeding vessels.

Rationale:
In orthopaedics, as in all medical specialties, many interventions and techniques have been rendered obsolete and, ultimately, replaced by newer, safer, and more efficient ones. The appeal of curettage has remained because of its procedural simplicity and adaptability in the management of a plethora of diseases such as benign cystic lesions of bone. Additionally, curettage, unlike wide resection, radiation, and embolization of feeding vessels, is minimally invasive and often definitive in nature when used as a treatment modality
2
. Lastly, curettage grants the performing surgeon the ability to maintain a contained cavity that can be treated with a variety of adjuvant therapies
3–17
. These reasons listed above make curettage a viable option for the surgical treatment of benign cystic lesions such as giant cell tumors of bone, aneurysmal bone cysts, unicameral bone cysts, chondromyxoid fibromas, and symptomatic nonossifying fibromas.
A Methodology For Disaggregation and Textural Analysis of Quartz-cemented Sandstones
Authors: Maithel Sarah A. , Brand Leonard R. , Whitmore John H. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractSandstone textures provide critical information for reservoir modeling and interpreting depositional processes. While loose sand textures are easy to describe, various authors have developed thin-section and image-analysis techniques to characterize lithified deposits that were assumed impossible to disaggregate successfully. These methods are effective but tedious, and are generally not feasible for processing many samples. We present a new methodology for disaggregating quartz-dominated sandstones cemented by quartz overgrowths, with application to the Permian Coconino Sandstone of northern and central Arizona, USA. Textural parameters of the disaggregated sand were measured using a laser diffraction particle analyzer. Our average grain sizes from laser analysis are coarser than those from thin section (as expected), but trends from the analyzer correlate well with thin-section results. This strong correlation strengthens the validity of both methods and suggests that disaggregation and whole-particle analysis may effectively replace petrographic techniques in many textural studies. We hope that our methods, which increase the efficiency of grain-size analysis, will expand the potential for collecting textural data from quartz-cemented sandstones.

The relationship between skipping breakfast and depression among workers with a focus on psychosocial factors
Authors: Yoshikawa Eisho , Nishi Daisuke , Matsuoka Yutaka J. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Objective

Previous studies have indicated that skipping breakfast is not only detrimental to physical health, but is also associated with depression. Myriad psychosocial factors are associated with both skipping breakfast and depression. However, previous research failed to account for these potential psychosocial factors. The aims of this study were to (a) explore the factors associated with breakfast consumption, and (b) investigate the association between the frequency of breakfast consumption and depression, adjusted for various forms of psychosocial confounders by analyzing previously collected data concerning Japanese workers.

Result

Participants were 575 employee across three Japanese worksites. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD). Frequency of breakfast consumption was categorized into 6 levels. Multi-regression analysis suggested that skipping breakfast was associated with high trait aggression, living alone, and low levels of physical exercise. Logistic regression suggested that skipping breakfast was associated with depression, even after adjusting for potential psychosocial factors including trait aggression, resilience, physical exercise, consumption of fish and fried food, social support, and life events cannot be ruled out.

Abstract
Background

Leadership has become the key issues in managing the organization, the emerging business and economic environments have forced organizations to be flexible, adaptive, entrepreneurial and innovative to meet changing demand of the present-day business environment. The purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between the various dimensions of transformational leadership (predictor variable) and their effects on employees’ job satisfaction (criterion variable) in three selected Colleges (Medicine, Dentistry and Science) in King Khalid University.

Methods

The methodology employed in this study was a quantitative and cross-sectional correlational survey type of design Data collection was done using a questionnaire design that was directly administered to the participants. 250 questionnaires were sent to the participating three colleges (Medicine, Dentistry and Sciences).

Results

The findings of the multiple linear regression analysis indicated a weak positive association between transformational leadership behaviour and employees’ job satisfaction (R-value 0.386). The multiple linear regression analysis signifies a weak positive correlation between transformational leadership behaviour and job satisfaction (R-value 0.386). A p-value in Spearman’s rho that is less than the 0.05 level of significance indicated that there is a significant level of relationship which exists between transformational leadership behaviour and job satisfaction.

Conclusions

This study concluded that transformational leadership behaviour and its four dimensions showed a weak positive correlation with a statistically significant level of relationship between transformational leadership behaviour and employees’ job satisfaction among three selected colleges (Medicine, Dentistry and Sciences) in King Khalid University, Abha, Saudi Arabia.

Abstract
Background
Southern stem canker (SSC), caused by Diaporthe aspalathi (E. Jansen, Castl. & Crous) is an important soybean disease, which has been responsible for severe losses in the past. The main strategy to control this fungus is through the introgression of resistance genes. So far, five main loci have been associated with resistance to Southern stem canker. However, there is a lack of information about useful allelic variation at these loci. In this work, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed to identify allelic variation associated with resistance against Diaporthe aspalathi and to provide molecular markers useful in breeding programs.

Results
We characterized the response to Southern stem canker infection in a panel of 295 accessions from different regions of the world including important Brazilian elite cultivars. Using a GBS approach, the panel was genotyped and we identified marker loci associated with Diaporthe aspalathi resistance using GWAS analysis. We identified 19 SNPs associated with Southern stem canker resistance, all on chromosome 14. The peak SNP showed an extremely high degree of association (p-value = 6.35E-27) and explained a high level of the phenotypic variance (R2 = 70%). This strongly suggests that a single major gene is responsible for resistance to D. aspalathi present inn most of the lines comprising this panel. We also identified in resequenced soybean materials other SNPs in the region identified by GWAS in the same LD block that clearly differentiate resistance and susceptible accessions. The peak SNP was selected and used to develop a cost-effective molecular marker assay, which was validated in a subset of the initial panel. In an accuracy test, this SNP assay demonstrated 98% of selection efficiency.

Conclusions
Our results suggest a relevant importance of this locus in SSC resistance in soybean cultivars and accessions from different countries and the SNP marker assay developed in this study can be directly applied in MAS studies in breeding programs to select resistance materials against this pathogen and support its introgression.
Using Recycled Concrete as an Adsorbent to Remove Phosphate from Polluted Water

Published: July 2019

Phosphate pollution remains a significant hazard to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. We developed an economical and efficient method for phosphate adsorption on waste construction concrete modified with seawater. Compared with raw concrete materials, the phosphate adsorption capacity of seawater‐modified waste concrete was highly efficient, especially at low phosphate concentrations. The inflection point for seawater‐modified concrete was 0.66 and 1.22 mg L−1 for the raw material. The relative phosphate adsorption was 4.64 and 2.39 mg g−1, respectively. Phosphate removal was >90% over a pH range of 3 to 11 for the raw and modified materials. Chemical and physical analysis of the modified concrete indicated that Ca and Mg particles were uniformly sequestrated on the surface, and Ca was the determinant controlling phosphate uptake. Phosphate adsorption isotherms fit well using the Freundlich, Temkin, Elovich, Fowler–Guggenheim, and Hill–de Boer models and indicated that intermolecular forces in the concrete particles were enhanced by calcium oxides from seawater. This method can efficiently remove phosphate from polluted water and repurposes waste construction concrete.Core Ideas

Interdiffusion of major elements at 1 atmosphere between natural shoshonitic and rhyolitic melts

Published: July 2019

AbstractThe diffusive mass exchange of eight major elements (Si, Ti, Al, Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, and K) between natural, nominally dry shoshonitic and rhyolitic melts was studied at atmospheric pressure and temperatures between 1230 and 1413 °C using the diffusion couple method. For six elements, effective binary diffusion coefficients were calculated by means of a concentration-dependent method to obtain an internally consistent data set. Among these components, the range in diffusivities is restricted, pointing to a coupling of their diffusive fluxes. We find that the calculated diffusivities fit well into the Arrhenius relation, with activation energies (Ea) ranging from 258 to 399 kJ/mol in rhyolitic (70 wt% SiO2) melt and from 294 to 426 kJ/mol in the latitic melt (58 wt% SiO2). Ti shows the lowest Ea, while Si, Fe, Mg, Ca, and K have a similar value. A strong linear correlation is observed between logD0 and Ea, confirming the validity of the compensation law for this system. Uphill diffusion is observed in Al in the form of a concentration minimum in the rhyolitic side of the couple, (at ca. 69 wt% SiO2), and in Na indicated by a maximum in the shoshonitic side (ca. 59 wt% SiO2). Fe shows weak signs of uphill diffusion, possibly due to the contribution of ferric iron. The data presented here extend the database of previously published diffusivities in the shoshonite-rhyolite system (González-García et al. 2017) toward the water-free end and allows us to better constrain the water-dependence of major element diffusion at very low water concentrations. Combining both data sets, we find that logD is proportional to the square root of water concentration for a range between 0 and 2 wt% H2O. These results are of particular interest in the study of mass transfer phenomena in alkaline volcanic systems.
