Authors: Papart J-P. , Lagunju A. , Gonzalez G. , Roulet M. 
Published: January 2019

The study investigated the relationship between height-for-age and body shape of children under 5 in some parts of Peru, India, Bangladesh and Guinea. The objective of the study was to determine whether the consideration of body shape measured by SSHr in the assessment of stunting could change our understanding of stunting in children in different areas of the world.
Anthropometric samples of children aged between 2 to 5 years were collected from Terre des homes Foundation (A Swiss NGO) nutrition project sites in Peru (districts of Andahuaylas, Ventanilla, Huancaray, Turpo, Talavera, San Jeronimo, Lliupapuquio), Guinea (Municipalities of Dixinn, Ratoma), Bangladesh (districts of Mogholbasa, Belgacha, Holokhana, Panchgachi) and India (districts of the Sunderban). The SSHr of the children under study were:
Peru Bangladesh India Guinea
24-35 months 0.605 0.580 0.572 0.556
36-47 months 0.584 0.571 0.557 0.542
48-59 months 0.573 0.562 0.552 0.531
All children 0.586 0.568 0.561 0.543
Global delay of growth using the HAZ indices among these children were Peru: 32.4% (MDG-23.1%; SDG- 9.4%), Guinea: 18.5% (MDG- 11.0%; SDG- 7.5%), India 43.6% (MDG- 27%; SDG- 16.6%) Bangladesh: 30.5% (MDG- 26.0%; 4.6%). These figures changed dramatically particularly for Peru when the SSHr was factored into the calculations of stunting: Peru: 0.4% (MDG-0.4%; SDG- 0%), Guinea: 18.4% (MDG- 10.0%; SDG- 8.4%), India 16.4% (MDG- 13.7%; SDG- 2.7%) Bangladesh: 2.9% (MDG- 2.7%; SDG- 0.3%).

Published: January 2019

Purpose: To determine the incidence of nonconvulsive seizures (NCSz) among children with systemic cancer, who underwent unexplained acute severe encephalopathy (GCS≤8) during admission in ICUs and Neuro-ICUs.
Study Design: Multicenter prospective observational study describing sub-clinical seizures and electroencephalographic (EEG) features of children (1-16 years) with acute unexplained encephalopathy who underwent emergent bedside EEG≥30min monitoring.
Material and Methods: We conducted a prospective longitudinal observational study design and EEG assessment of 40 systemic cancer patients age ≤16years, consecutively diagnosed and admitted in intensive care units (ICUs) and neurointensive care units (Neuro-ICUs) of different cancer hospitals with unexplained acute impaired consciousness (GCS≤08) within ≤6hr of such deterioration. Bed-side EEG recordings of ≥30min were done according to the clinical scenario and the requirements of the treating neurologist/intensivist. Patients with brain tumor, brain metastasis, seizures or those with known cause of coma were excluded. Data surrounding clinical, electrographic, and treatment factors were collected Via a prospective systematic review of medical records and EEGs for correlation with diagnosis, change in the diagnosis and management.
Results: Over a period of 2 years, 40 children, 22.5% 1-5yeras, 37.5% 6-10years, 40% 11-16years; boys 65% and girls 35%, who had systemic cancer with a median age of 9.8 years with unexplained acute deterioration of conscious level (GCS≤08). This cohort underwent bed-side EEG of ≥30 min, which was abnormal in 100% of the records. The main reasons for EEG requests were: 1) unexplained impaired consciousness 22(55%) and 2) reason one plus subtle convulsion 18(45%). The most common EEG abnormalities were invariant mixed theta-delta slowing (27.5%), followed by Low-amplitude delta pattern plus epileptiform discharges (20%) and there was electrographic evidence of EEG seizures in 17(42.5%) of the cohort. These electrographic seizures were present in 55.5% of 18 patients with subtle convulsions, whereas were documented only in 20% of the 22 patients without such movements. Electrographic seizures among patients with subtle convulsions responded to antiseizure drugs in 75% cases as compared 50% such response among patients without such convulsions.
Conclusion: Emergent bed-side EEG record of ≥30 min is useful in systemic cancer patients admitted in NCUs and Neuro-ICUs with acutely impaired consciousness with or without abnormal body movements. Neurology consultation and EEG studies in these comatose patients provide useful diagnostic information.

Published: January 2019

Background : Severe burns are among the commonly occurring trauma with lethal outcome. One of the important aspects of severe burn therapy is to quickly achieve wound healing. Previous reports indicated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy contributes in facilitating better wound healing. In this report, we investigated the effects of MSCs derived from human bone marrow and umbilical cord on wound healing in patients with severe burns and its mechanism.
Method : We performed human bone marrow and human umbilical cord MSCs therapy on 3 severe burns patients. Two of the patients had inadequate donor to close raw surface with skin graft, whilst one patient had infected chronic burn wound which have failed to epithelialize despite repeated attempts of skin graft and wound care.
Result : We observed that MSCs therapy significantly accelerated wound healing. The effects after MSCs migrated into wound were decreased infiltration of inflammatory cells and faster epithelialization.
Conclusion : This study suggests that MSCs therapy has positive effects in improving wound healing in severe burns patients. Data provided by this research may serve as theoretical basis for further study of MSCs application in burn wound therapy.

Published: January 2019

Background: Cleft lip and palate (CL/P) is one of the most common congenital anomalies with the prevalence of 1 case for every 1000 birth. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between paternal and maternal age to the incidence of cleft lip with or without cleft palate. Methods: This case-control study compares data of 74 cleft lip patients who was enrolled in Gentur Cleft Foundation Foundation year 2013 to 2015 compared to those of 86 normal children. Paternal and maternal age were categorized and compared to reference age (25-29 years old). Binary logistic regression was used to assess the interaction between paternal and maternal age adjusted to several confounding factors. Results: Paternal age (PA) 18-24 year has OR 9.12 (95% CI = 2.2-36.7), PA 30-34 has OR 2.74 (95% CI =1.2-5.9), PA 35-48 has OR 5.82 (95% CI = 2.2-15.67) compared to those in the 25-29 years category. Maternal age (MA) 18-24 year has OR 4.385 (95% CI = 1.86-10.36), MA 35-48 has OR 6.58 (95% CI = 1.65-26.31) compared to those in the 25-29 years category. P-value was insignificant for MA 30-34 years. Interaction were observed in crossings between PA 18-24 with MA 18-24, PA 25-29 with MA 18-24, PA 30-34 with MA 18-24, PA 30-34 with MA 25-29, PA 35-48 with MA 30-34, and PA 35-48 with MA 35-40. Conclusion: We observed stronger association between paternal ages with CL/P compared to that of maternal age. Interactions of paternal and maternal age with high OR were found in youngest age group (18-24 years old), oldest age group (above 35 years old), and fathers who are approximately 10 years older than the mother.

Authors: Kreshanti Prasetyanugraheni , Kiat Muhammad Irsyad 
Published: January 2019

Background : Cleft lip and palate are the most common congenital anomalies that were found in plastic surgery. There are so many techniques for unilateral cleft lip repair. Rotation-advancement method by Gentur based on Millard technique has become the most widely used in unilateral cleft lip repair in RSCM. The Fisher technique repair is a modified technique based on approximation of anatomical subunit of the lip. The purpose of this study is to objectively compare and evaluate the lip symmetry of these two techniques.
Method : Two senior board-certified plastic surgeons will perform different surgical techniques for the unilateral cleft lip: rotation-advancement technique by Gentur and Fisher technique. This study prospectively analyzed preoperative and postoperative of randomized single blinded patients who underwent unilateral cleft lip repair performed by each surgeon in 2016. Using caliper, facial points on the cleft and non-cleft sides were measured, including height and symmetry of Cupid’s bow, width and height of the nasal vestibule, height of the vermilion, and alar base position. Ratios of cleft side to non cleft side measurements were calculated to standardize comparisons between patients.
Result : From July-October 2016, 14 patients performed surgery as preliminary data, showed that there are statistically difference in length of design and surgery time. Preoperative, comparable of cupid’s bow and vermillion showed statistically difference. Although, we found no statistically difference in postoperative ratio.
Conclusion : Lip symmetry outcomes after cheiloplasty procedure are same between Gentur method and Fisher technique.

Authors: F Johandi , J Feng , Lumbun Ruth , J Chong , K Tan B , C Tan K 
Published: January 2019

Background : In Singapore, we experience a unique annual surge of burn cases involving sole of foot during the Hindu fire walking festival. Traditionally, superficial partial-thickness burns of the soles were managed expectantly with regular dressings. We conducted a study to evaluate the effectiveness of an alternative approach of using synthetic skin substitute (Biobrane®).
Method : A case series of foot burns admitted October 2016 to the Singapore General Hospital Burns Centre. Burn cases with superficial partial-thickness burn of bilateral sole of foot were included in the study. Exclusion criteria included deep dermal burns and burns that required excision and closure with skin grafting. The patient demographics, time to presentation, medical co-morbidities were analyzed. Outcomes such as length of hospital stay, incidence of infection, need for further surgery, return to pre-injury ambulation status and occupation and cost were studied.
Result : A total of 6 partial thickness burns of sole of foot in 3 patients with bilateral foot burns which were treated with Biobrane® were included in the study. Patients were able to return pre-injury functional status- return to work and pre-morbid ambulation status. Neither incidence of wound infections nor any needs for repeat surgery were recorded. However, this group required an increased length of stay and incurred high treatment cost.
Conclusion: Biobrane® is a viable adjunct in the management of sole of foot burns. The authors believe there is potential for an improved rate of recovery with Biobrane®. However, the higher cost and length of stay are among its drawbacks. In view of the limitations of our study- case series and small sample size, a prospective and double arm assessment will be required to present definite evidence for synthetic skin substitute in these cases

Authors: Maulana Muhammad Iqbal , Primadian Akmal , Pancawati Julieta , Bangun Kristaninta 
Published: January 2019

Background: In the last decade, there are various methods of bone grafting in plastic surgery. Cancellous bone is more often used as bone graft than cortical bone due to its high osteoconductivity and osteogenic capability. The synthetic materials for bone graft such as tricalcium phospate (TCP) and hydroxy-apatite can be use as new alternative for bone grafting surgery.
Methods: The PubMed® databases were searched using the terms: ‘bone graft OR bone grafting’ AND ‘cancellous bone OR iliac crest OR tibia’ AND ‘tricalcium phospate OR tricalciumphospate OR tri calcium phospate’, restricted to English language, and to a publication period from January 2010 to January 2017. The inclusion criteria were any kind of research paper that compared the utility of TCP synthetic graft and autograft as a bone graft.
Results: Out of 139 selected studies, only 8 met the inclusion criteria. In 6 publications TCP graft has similar outcome and in 1 publication have a better result in reducing post operative complication.
Conclusion: TCP graft can be used as substitution for autograft in particular clinical conditions and surgical methods.

Researches on Inertial Mechatronic Motion Analysis Systems, Based on MEMS
Authors: Badea Cristian Radu 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to provide an introduction into the inertial motion analysis field, focusing its attention on the analysis that is performed using modern mechatronic inertial motion capture systems, highlighting both the advantages and drawbacks of using such a system and outlining the main constituent elements of these systems as well as the necessary steps to be carried out in order to be able to accomplish such analysis.
A modern mechatronic inertial motion analysis system’s evolution it’s based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) sensory network, each of which contains a combination of accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer. The signals from these MEMS are processed, by a microcontroller, using advanced algorithms in order to provide accurate data regarding body’s segments kinematics, global positioning and magnetic field. Those data are being transferred to a biomechanical model for the analysis. Despite its tremendous advantages, such as portability and real-time analysis capabilities, over alternative motion analysis systems, such as optical or mechanical systems, that based on external transmitters and/or video camera networks, restricting their use to special laboratory conditions and/or large workspace, mechatronic inertial systems are not based on an external infrastructure, they present a major disadvantage, namely the positional drift. The estimation of the human subject body’s segments positions and orientation, absolutely requires an initial calibration procedure, called „sensor to segment calibration”, that starts from the positional and orientation information received from the MEMS network, which are then transferred onto a biomechanical (scaled) model of the human body.
“How to become a woman without turninginto a Barbie”: Change-of-state verbconstructions and their role in Spanish as a Foreign Language
Authors: Ibarretxe-Antuñano Iraide , Cheikh-Khamis Fátima 
Published: January 2019

AbstractPseudo-copulative change-of-state (PCOS) verbs are predicates that involve a change in the composition of an entity undergoing a particular event. Due to their complex linguistic nature, these verbs are not easy to be accounted for and consequently, they represent a real challenge to language teachers and learners. First, this paper critically examines the specialized L1 and L2 literature on PCOS verbs in Spanish. Then, it is shown that previous studies are unable to provide a unanimous theory, but rather offer heterogeneous explanations that are full of exceptions and overlook semantic nuances. The second part of this work presents a corpus-based constructional study of the PCOS verbal structure [Vcl+NP] in two PCOS verbs,hacerse‘make.cl’andvolverse‘turn.cl’. It is argued that a multi-level family of PCOS constructions captures both the specificity of fully-saturated constructions (María se hizo mujer‘María became a woman’), as well as the more general abstract patterns ([Subject PCOS-verb Object]). This constructional approach offers a unified and motivated explanation for these PCOS verbs that can be very useful for Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL).
The Right of the Governed: Foucault’s Theoretical Political Turn
Authors: Ferreira-Neto João Leite 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
This paper aims to understand the theoretical-political turn of Foucault constructed from 1978, which led him to a distancing from the Maoist left and to a return to the notion of subjectivity within a perspective of liberty, in the context of his governmentality studies. The historical-institutional aspects relating to his theoretical and political shift will be discussed, with basis on biographical sources and texts by the author published at that time. The conclusion is that Foucault used both Marxist and neoliberal contributions, avoiding reducing the politics to a confrontation between two projects, but considering it a complex field of plural strategies. He also began to theorize about the rights historically known as the ‘right of the governed,’ led by the question: ‘how to become subject without being subjected?’.
An Improved Shear Stress Monitoring Method in Numerical Direct Shear Tests by Particle Flow Code

Published: January 2019

Abstract
During a direct shear test in particle flow code (PFC; Itasca Consulting Group, Minneapolis, MN) simulation, the initial force is often neglected by the existing methods of monitoring shear stress, which results in a difference between the monitoring data and simulation result. An improved monitoring method, which involves monitoring the resultant force on the left and right walls (specimen boundary) as the shear force, is proposed to monitor the shear stress in this study. The effectiveness of the proposed method is first investigated by comparing the monitoring results with the peak shear strength of sawtooth triangular joints with base angles of 0°, 15°, and 30° and joints with Barton’s standard joint roughness profiles (joint roughness coefficient (JRC) = 5.8, 10.8, and 14.5) as predicted by well-known classical shear models under different normal stress conditions. Additionally, the capabilities of the proposed monitoring method were tested by comparing it with the peak shear strength obtained from laboratory direct shear tests on a real rock joint (JRC = 1.0) under different normal stress levels. Good agreement was found between the results of the numerical models that used the proposed monitoring method and well-known classical shear models as well as laboratory direct shear tests. The proposed method has a highly accurate capacity for determining the shear stress in numerical direct shear tests by PFC. This method has advantages for assessing joints with low roughness coefficients under low normal stress conditions. The results reveal that the proposed method reasonably reflects the shear characteristics of rock joints in numerical direct shear tests. The proposed method also contributes to the calibration of microparameters for a smooth joint model to more accurately represent the rock joint.
