Authors: Scott Chloe E.H. , Clement Nicholas D. , Yapp Liam Z. , MacDonald Deborah J. , Patton James T. , Burnett Richard 
Published: September 2019

Background:
Anterior knee pain is the most common complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to assess whether sagittal femoral component position is an independent predictor of anterior knee pain after cruciate-retaining single-radius TKA without routine patellar resurfacing.

Methods:
A prospective cohort study of 297 cruciate-retaining single-radius TKAs performed in 2006 and 2007 without routine patellar resurfacing identified 73 patients (25%) with anterior knee pain and 89 (30%) with no pain (controls) at 10 years. Patients were assessed preoperatively and at 1, 5, and 10 years postoperatively using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including the Short Form-12 (SF-12), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), and satisfaction and expectation questionnaires. Variables that were assessed as predictors of anterior knee pain included demographic data, the indication for the TKA, early complications, stiffness requiring manipulation under anesthesia, and radiographic criteria (implant alignment, Insall-Salvati ratio, posterior condylar offset ratio, and anterior femoral offset ratio).

Results:
The 73 patients with anterior knee pain (mean age, 67.0 years [range, 38 to 82 years]; 48 [66%] female) had a mean visual analog scale (VAS) score of 34.3 (range, 5 to 100) compared with 0 for the 89 patients with no pain (mean age, 66.5 years [range, 41 to 82 years]; 60 [67%] female). The patients with anterior knee pain had mean femoral component flexion of −0.6° (95% confidence interval [CI] = −1.5° to 0.3°), which differed significantly from the value for the patients with no pain (1.42° [95% CI = 0.9° to 2.0°]; p < 0.001). The patients with and those without anterior knee pain also differed significantly with regard to the mean anterior femoral offset ratio (17.2% [95% CI = 15.6% to 18.8%] compared with 13.3% [95% CI = 11.1% to 15.5%]; p = 0.005) and the mean medial proximal tibial angle (89.7° [95% CI = 89.2° to 90.1°] compared with 88.9° [95% CI = 88.4° to 89.3°]; p = 0.009). All PROMs were worse in the anterior knee pain group at 10 years (p < 0.05), and the OKSs were worse at 1, 5, and 10 years (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed femoral component flexion, the medial proximal tibial angle, and an Insall-Salvati ratio of <0.8 (patella baja) as independent predictors of anterior knee pain (R2 = 0.263). Femoral component extension of ≥0.5° predicted anterior knee pain with 87% sensitivity.

Conclusions:
In our study, 25% of patients had anterior knee pain at 10 years following a single-radius cruciate-retaining TKA without routine patellar resurfacing. Sagittal plane positioning and alignment of the femoral component were associated with long-term anterior knee pain, with femoral component extension being a major risk factor.

The Effect of Sex on Orthopaedic Surgeon Income
Authors: Beebe Kathleen S. , Krell Ethan S. , Rynecki Nicole D. , Ippolito Joseph A. 
Published: September 2019

Background:
Several studies have identified discrepancies in salary between male and female surgeons. Our aim was to investigate the impact of sex on an orthopaedic surgeon’s yearly earnings by evaluating stratified income and specialty data from a large sample survey of orthopaedic surgeons.

Methods:
Self-reported data were obtained from the 2014 and 2008 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) biennial censuses. Responses were received from 6,805 (24.26%) of those who were surveyed. The census form is a 19-question survey that includes information regarding work status (full time versus part time), sex, years in practice, practice type (private versus academic), specialty, hours worked, case volume, and income. The main outcome evaluated was self-reported income, and a multivariate regression model was used to control for confounding variables.

Results:
Male surgeons reported higher incomes than female colleagues working equivalent hours ($802,474 versus $560,618; p = 0.016); however, male surgeons reported a greater case volume for the same number of hours. Among surgeons who performed ≥26 procedures per month, male and female surgeons reported comparable incomes ($949,508 versus $872,903; p = 0.649). Incomes of those in practice for >20 years also were comparable. Regression analysis controlling for subspecialty choice, hours worked, work status, case volume, years in practice, and practice setting revealed that income was $62,032.51 less for women than men (p < 0.001).

Conclusions:
Income disparity between male and female orthopaedic surgeons remains significant, and the gap increased from 2008 to 2014. Although subspecialty choice, practice setting, years in practice, and amount and distribution of procedures performed can partially explain salary differences, our regression analysis suggests persistence of an income gap based on sex in orthopaedic surgery.
An Anatomical Study of the Anterosuperior Capsular Attachment Site on the Acetabulum
Authors: Tsutsumi Masahiro , Nimura Akimoto , Honda Eisaburo , Utsunomiya Hajime , Uchida Soshi , Akita Keiichi 
Published: September 2019

Background:
Despite the fact that many surgeons perform partial capsular detachment from the anterosuperior aspect of the acetabulum to correct acetabular deformities during hip arthroscopy, few studies have focused on whether these detachments influence hip joint stability. The aim of this study was to investigate the capsular attachment on the anterosuperior aspect of the acetabulum. We hypothesized that the attachment on the inferior aspect of the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) is wide and fibrocartilaginous and might have a substantial role in hip joint stability.

Methods:
Fifteen hips from 9 cadavers of Japanese donors were analyzed. Eleven hips were analyzed macroscopically, and the other 4 were analyzed histologically. In all specimens, the 3-dimensional morphology of the acetabulum and AIIS was examined using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT).

Results:
Macroscopic analysis showed that the widths of the capsular attachments varied according to the location, and the attachment width on the inferior edge of the AIIS was significantly larger than that on the anterosuperior aspect of the acetabulum. Moreover, the capsular attachment on the inferior edge of the AIIS corresponded with the impression, which was identified by micro-CT. Histological analysis revealed that the hip joint capsule on the inferior edge of the AIIS attached to the acetabulum adjacent to the proximal margin of the labrum. In addition, the hip joint capsule attached to the inferior edge of the AIIS via the fibrocartilage.

Conclusions:
The capsular attachment on the inferior edge of the AIIS was characterized by an osseous impression, large attachment width, and distributed fibrocartilage.

Clinical Relevance:
It appeared that the capsular attachment on the inferior edge of the AIIS was highly adaptive to mechanical stress, on the basis of its osseous impression, attachment width, and histological features. Anatomical knowledge of the capsular attachment on the inferior edge of the AIIS provides a better understanding of the pathological condition of hip joint instability.
VARIABLE SELECTION IN MULTIVARIATE FUNCTIONAL DATA CLASSIFICATION
Authors: Górecki Tomasz , Krzyśko Mirosław , ński Waldemar Woły 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
A new variable selection method is considered in the setting of classification with multivariate functional data (Ramsay and Silverman (2005)). The variable selection is a dimensionality reduction method which leads to replace the whole vector process, with a low-dimensional vector still giving a comparable classification error. Various classifiers appropriate for functional data are used. The proposed variable selection method is based on functional distance covariance (dCov) given by Székely and Rizzo (2009, 2012) and the Hilbert-Schmidt Independent Criterion (HSIC) given by Gretton et al. (2005). This method is a modification of the procedure given by Kong et al. (2015). The proposed methodology is illustrated with a real data example.

Water flow resistance characteristics of double-layer vegetation in different submerged states
Authors: Zhang Shengtang , Li Guibao , He Xueqin , Liu Ying , Wang Zhikai 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
In a natural basin, the vegetation can change the slope convergence and affect the surface runoff. Vegetation height may vary in an area, showing a two-layer combination of high and low collocation. This study aimed to understand the effects of double-layer vegetation in different submerged states on flow resistance. Plantings of vegetation at different heights may control landslides and contribute to soil and water conservation. This study explored the water flow resistance characteristics of double-layer vegetation at different heights. A plastic bar was used to simulate rigid vegetation, and an indoor channel fixed bed experiment was used to simulate vegetation with different heights of 5 cm and 7 cm, 5 cm and 8 cm, 5 cm and 9 cm, and 5 cm and 10 cm. By analyzing the relationship between the Darcy–Weisbach resistance coefficient (f) and water depth (h), it was concluded that when the vegetation is in a non-submerged state, f and h satisfy f= 5.6427 h+ 0.0245. When the water depth just submerges the low vegetation, f changes abruptly, and f and h satisfy the relationship f= 3.4075 h + 0.0021. When the water depth is the same as the height of high vegetation, f attains the maximum value. In addition, the flow resistance f increases by 0.03 with a 1 cm increase in the vegetation height h. When the vegetation is completely submerged, f is negatively correlated with h.
Adsorption behavior of diclofenac-containing wastewater on three kinds of sewage sludge
Authors: Yan Jingna , Zhang Xiaohan , Lin Wenting , Yang Chen , Ren Yuan 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Diclofenac (DCF) is one of the most frequently detected non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the water environment. One of the main removal routes of DCF in wastewater is sludge adsorption, and the mechanisms need to be investigated. In this study, the effects of adsorption time, temperature, pH value, and ionic strength on the adsorption of DCF on suspended particles (SP), secondary sedimentation tank sludge (SSTS) and concentrated sludge (CS) were investigated. The results showed that most of the adsorption of DCF by the three matrices was conducted in the first 4 h and equilibrium was achieved at 8 h. The adsorption kinetics were well fitted with the pseudo-second-order model and the rate constants were 0.29–0.88 mg·(μg·min)−1, with chemical adsorption as the dominant one. Adsorption isotherm conformed to Freundlich, Langmuir and Linear adsorption isotherm models. The order of adsorption capacity was: CS &gt; SSTS &gt; SP, which was proportional to the organic matter content and specific surface area of the adsorbents. The decrease of the pH value and the increase of ionic strength promoted the adsorption of DCF. The results can provide data support for the removal of DCF from different treatment unit types in wastewater treatment plants.
Sulfakinin Signalling Influences Fatty Acid Levels and Composition in Tenebrio Molitor Beetle
Authors: Slocinska Małgorzata , Kuczer Mariola , Gołębiowski Marek 
Published: September 2019

Background:
Sulfakinins are arthropod neuropeptides that are structurally and
functionally similar to vertebrate gastrin-cholecystokinin. Sulfakinins with sulfated tyrosine (sSK)
or nonsulfated tyrosine (nSK) in the C-terminated heptapeptide XY(SO3H)GHMRFamide display
different biological functions, including myotropic activity, inhibition of food intake, stimulation of
digestive enzymes and regulation of carbohydrate and lipid content.

Objective:
To reveal the mechanisms by which sulfakinin signalling modulates lipid homeostasis,
we analysed the changes in the level and composition of fatty acids and organic compounds in the
fat body and haemolymph of Tenebrio molitor larvae after nSK and sSK treatment.

Methods:
Fatty acids in fat body and haemolymph of insects were analysed using Gas
Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS).

Results:
The direction of the changes observed for major fatty acids, 18:1 and 18:2, and the less
abundant fatty acids, 16:0, 18:0, 16:1 and 14:0, was the same for unsaturated (UFAs) and saturated
(SFAs) fatty acids, and elevated after nSK application in both analysed tissues. However, the action
of sSK in fat body tissue evoked distinct effects and induced either significant decreases in
individual fatty acids or UFAs and SFAs. Administration of nSK and sSK significantly increased
the level of total organic compounds in the haemolymph, contrary to the effect of sSK in fat body,
where the level of total organic compounds decreased, although changes differ between individual
chemicals.

Conclusion:
Sulfakinins are engaged in the precise modulation of fatty acid levels and composition,
but their action depends on the presence of sulfate group on the tyrosyl residue of the peptide what
determines the different roles of these peptides in insect physiology.
Phytochemical Markers: Classification, Applications and Isolation
Authors: Desai Sonal , Tatke Pratima 
Published: September 2019

Background:There has been aroused demand for herbal drugs/products worldwide because of their fewer side effects as compared to synthetic drugs. The major obstacle in the global acceptance of herbal products is the lack of proper standardization technique.Methods:Various test procedures have been used for authentication and quality control of botanicals among which marker based standardization has attained more attention. The major challenge faced by phytochemist is to select appropriate phytochemical marker for quality control of herbal drugs. Phytochemical markers used for standardization must be of known purity. Phytochemical markers which are not commercially available have to be isolated from respective medicinal plants. Various chromatographic techniques are reported for the purification of phytomarkers from plants. A comprehensive report on different purification techniques of isolation of phytochemical markers through in-depth review of scientific literature is required.Conclusion:This article highlights various classifications of phytochemical markers along with their applications in standardization of herbal drugs and various classical and modern analytical techniques for their isolation.

THINKING ACROSS HEMISPHERES: FURTHER NOTES ON OVERSIGHTS AND BLIND SPOTS IN DISCIPLINARY AFRICAN STUDIES
Authors: Lalu Premesh 
Published: September 2019

In the midst of ever-hardening nationalist sentiment across the world, the humanities may need to recall its long history of thinking across hemispheres. In such balkanised times, we may have to rethink the work that a hermeneutics of suspicion performs for a critical humanities as well as how Africa is bound to particular configurations of area studies that emerge out of the geopolitical distributions of knowledge during the Cold War. To the extent that we might develop a history of a critical humanities across hemispheres, this paper asks what it might mean to return to a concept of freedom formed through a sustained effort at reckoning with the worldliness specific to the anti- colonial struggles in Africa. There, a critical humanities may discover the sources of a creative work in which Africa is not merely bound to the binary of blind spots and oversights, but functions as that supplement which gives itself over to a liveable future.
'Salimu': from Memory to Literary Narrative in Twentieth-Century manding Culture
Authors: Tamari Tai 
Published: September 2019

This essay explores the creation of new literary narratives, many inspired by true incidents, from the late nineteenth century to the present, among Manding- (specifically Maninka-) speakers in Mali and Guinea. It simultaneously queries the relationships between Manding and Western literary categories, showing that the traits typically associated with African ‘epics’ – including poetic language, alternation of sung and recited passages to continuous instrumental accompaniment, and multi-generic qualities – characterise some (but not all) examples of several distinct Manding literary categories (fasa, tariku and maana); furthermore, these traits appear in narratives of various lengths, centred on sentimental as well as heroic themes. It then focuses on the stories and songs inspired by the apparently contradictory personality of Salimou Haidara (ca. 1930-1991), an eccentric who claimed sharifian descent. A performance by Amadou Kouyaté and Jekoriya Doumbia, a bard couple based in the village of Dabadou near Kankan (Guinea), is transcribed, translated, and analysed1.

The Court Poet/Praise Singer in Wole Soyinka's Death and the King's Horseman and Ola Rotimi's Ovonramwen Nogbaisi: a Critical Appraisal
Authors: Afolayan Bosede Funke 
Published: September 2019

Oral artists are a common sight in traditional African societies and were most prominent in old empires such as Oyo, Benin, Songhai and Mali. They also existed in the Zulu empire, northern Nigeria and among the Akan in Ghana. Their place is integral to the social and political well-being of these empires. In the Oyo empire, court poets are known as Olohun-Iyo. They are called griots in Senegal and Mali and among the Akan of Ghana, they are called Kwadwumfo. Modern Nigerian dramatists such as Wole Soyinka and Ola Rotimi have appropriated the image and roles of the court poet in Death and The King’s Horseman and Ovonramwen Nogbaisi respectively. This paper defines who a court poet is, his role as a maker and wordsmith, and the nature of his work and patronage. It examines the qualities he must possess and the content of his poetry. In examining the place of memory and remembering in the discharge of the poet ́s duties, the paper investigates the various mnemonic and retrieval systems used by the poet to recall past accounts and great deeds of the kings. The roles of traditional court poets will be compared with the roles played by Olohun-iyo and Uzazakpo in the selected plays. The paper will also discuss what has become of oral artists in modern African societies. How viable is the art-form in the modern world with the advent of technology? Has civilization and modernity eroded their importance in society? While affirming their traditional advisory, prophetic, warning, motivational roles and as repositories of customs and culture, this paper concludes by stating the poet employs linguistic, para- linguistic and “medicinal” strategies to recall events at a given performance.
