Primary and revision lumbar discectomy
Authors: Morgan-Hough C. V. J. , Jones P. W. , Eisenstein S. M. 
Published: February 2018

We present a review of 553 patients who underwent surgery for intractable sciatica ascribed to prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc. One surgeon in one institution undertook or supervised all the operations over a period of 16 years. The total number of primary discectomies included in the study was 531, of which 42 subsequently required a second operation for recurrent sciatica, giving a revision rate of 7.9%. Factors associated with reoperation were analysed. A contained disc protrusion was almost three times more likely to need revision surgery, compared with extruded or sequestrated discs. Patients with primary protrusions had a significantly greater straight-leg raise and reduced incidence of positive neurological findings compared with those with extruded or sequestrated discs. These patients should therefore be selected out clinically and treated by a more enthusiastic conservative programme, since they are three times more likely to require revision surgery.

Published: February 2018

We report the results of cancellous femoral impaction grafting with cement in revision hip arthroplasty in all patients from one centre who had undergone surgery more than five years previously. A total of 32 surgeons undertook femoral impaction grafting in 207 patients (226 hips). There were no deaths attributable to the revision surgery; 33 patients with 35 functioning hips died with less than five years’ follow-up. One patient was lost to follow-up. Two hips (1%) developed early postoperative infection. Of the 12 stems which underwent a further surgical procedure for aseptic failure, ten were for femoral fracture and two for loosening. Survivorship with any further femoral operation as the endpoint was 90.5% (confidence intervals, 82 to 98) and using femoral reoperation for symptomatic aseptic loosening as the endpoint, the survivorship was 99.1% (confidence intervals, 96 to 100) at 10 to 11 years. As a consequence of the experience in this series, we have modified our technique with an increased use of longer stems with impacted allograft. Long stems are indicated when the host bone around the tip of a short stem is compromised, in patients with major loss of bone stock, or when a femoral fracture occurs.

We investigated the outcome of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) in the calf after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in 48 patients (45 women and three men) by clinical assessment and venographic study between three and four years after surgery. The mean age of the patients was 67.2 ± 7.7 years (52 to 85) and the mean follow-up was 42.6 ± 2.7 months (38 to 48). The diagnosis was osteoarthritis in 47 patients and rheumatoid arthritis in one patient. There were 44 calf thrombi, four popliteal thrombi but no thrombi in the femoral or iliac regions. Of the 48 patients, 24 were clinically symptomatic and 24 were asymptomatic. Clinical examination was carried out on 41 patients, of whom 37 underwent ascending venography. Seven were evaluated by telephone interview. No patient had the symptoms or signs of recurrent DVT, venous insufficiency in the affected leg, or a history of pulmonary embolism. No patient had been treated for complications of their DVT. Thirty-six of the 37 venographic studies were negative for either old or new DVT in the affected leg. One patient had residual thrombi in the muscular branches of the veins. Our study shows that deep-vein thromboses in the calf after TKA disappear spontaneously with time. No patient developed a recurrent DVT, proximal propagation or embolisation. Treatment of DVT in the calf after TKA should be based on the severity of the symptoms during the immediate postoperative period.

Published: February 2018

Injury to the dorsomedial cutaneous nerve in the foot may occur after operations for hallux valgus. Pressure neuropathy before operation is also described but remains largely unexplored. We have investigated the incidence of sensory deficit in the great toe before operating for hallux valgus and examined to what extent any deficit was related to the degree of angulation of the joint. Forty-three patients with a total of 61 great toes with hallux valgus presenting for consideration of surgical correction had their sensation tested in pre-designated zones using a five-filament set of Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments. These allowed good inter-observer reliability with an intra-class correlation coefficient of 0.84. Sensory symptoms were noted by only 21% of the patients, a measurable reduction in sensation by one monofilament grade or more was found in an additional 44%. No relationship was found between the degree of sensory loss and the degree of angulation. Patients with symptomatic hallux valgus may have sensory loss in the toe without being aware of it. Normal subjective sensation does not reliably predict normal sensory function. Given the potentially high rates of nerve damage following operations for hallux valgus, we recommend objective sensory testing as part of routine assessment before surgery.
Hidden blood loss following hip and knee arthroplasty
Authors: Sehat K. R. , Evans R. L. , Newman J. H. 
Published: February 2018

Following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKR) only the ‘visible’ measured blood loss is usually known. This underestimates the ‘true’ total loss, as some loss is ‘hidden’. Correct management of blood loss should take hidden loss into account. We studied 101 THAs and 101 TKAs (with re-infusion of drained blood). Following THA, the mean total loss was 1510 ml and the hidden loss 471 ml (26%). Following TKA, the mean total loss was 1498 ml. The hidden loss was 765 ml (49%). Obesity made no difference with either operation. THA involves a small hidden loss, the total loss being 1.3 times that measured. However, following TKA, there may be substantial hidden blood loss due to bleeding into the tissues and residual blood in the joint. The true total loss can be determined by doubling the measured loss.
KARAKTER KIMIA KECAP IKAN DARI VISCERA IKAN MANYUNG (Arius sp.) YANG DIFERMENTASI DENGAN KADAR GARAM YANG BERBEDA Chemical characteristic of fish sauce from sea cat fish (Arius sp.) viscera fermented with different salt concentration

Published: February 2018

ABSTRAK Salah satu kelemahan dari fermentasi tradisional adalah waktu fermentasi yang lama, untuk produk kecap ikan memerlukan waktu berbulan-bulan atau bahkan mencapai 2 tahun. Untuk menanggulangi masalah diatas dilakukan penelitian dengan menurunkan kadar garam untuk mempercepat proses hidrolisis protein pada produksi kecap ikan. Pengaruh dari perbedaan garam (15%, 20% dan 25% b/b) pada karakteristik kimia (total nitrogen, TVB, TMA dan amoniak) kecap ikan yang dibuat dari viscera Ikan Manyung (Arius sp.) diamati setelah 45 hari fermentasi. Produk kecap ikan dari viscera Ikan Manyung (Arius sp.) mengandung total N yang lebih rendah, TVBN, TMA dan ammonia dengan bertambahnya garam. Hasil terbaik adalah pada perlakuan kadar garam 20% karena telah mampu memenuhi standar kecap ikan dari Codex Allimentarius pada parameter total N, serta kadar TVBN, TMA dan amoniak yang relatif rendah. Kata kunci: Kecap ikan; viscera ikan manyung, garam, karakter kimia ABSTRACT One of the drawbacks of traditional fermentation is a relatively long incubation. To overcome the problem above can be done by decreased levels of salt to accelerate hydrolysis in fish sauce production. The effect of different concentration salt (15%, 20% and 25% w/w )on the chemical characteristic(total nitrogen, TVB, TMA, dan ammonia) in fish sauce made from cat fish (Arius sp.) viscera were monitored after 45 days fermentation period. Fish sauce product from cat fish (Arius sp.) viccera contain lower total nitrogen, TVBN, TMA, ammonia with the increasing of salt. The best result was in the 20 % salt addition that could meet the Codex Allimentarius standard in total nitrogen content, and the value of TVB, TMA and ammonia was relative low compared to the other treatment.

Abstract
Several in vitro studies have suggested that canonical microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis requires the DICER cofactors TARBP2 and PRKRA for processing of pre-miRNAs to mature miRNAs. To investigate the roles of TARBP2 and PRKRA in miRNA biogenesis in vivo, and to determine possible functional redundancy, we first compared the phenotypes of Tarbp2 and Prkra single and double mutants. In contrast to Dicer −/− embryos, which die by embryonic day 7.5 (E7.5), single Tarbp2 −/− and Prkra −/− mice survive beyond E7.5 and either die perinatally or survive and exhibit cranial/facial abnormalities, respectively. In contrast, only a few Tarbp2 −/−; Prkra −/− double mutants survived beyond E12.5, suggesting genetic redundancy between Tarbp2 and Prkra during embryonic development. Sequencing of miRNAs from single-mutant embryos at E15.5 revealed changes in abundance and isomiR type in Tarbp2 −/−, but not Prkra −/−, embryos, demonstrating that TARBP2, but not PRKRA, functions in miRNA biogenesis of a subclass of miRNAs, and suggesting that functional redundancy between TARBP2 and PRKRA does not involve miRNA biogenesis.

Authors: Djulius Horas 
Published: February 2018

The choice taken by developing countries in meeting the lack of development funds has a varying effect. This study clarifies the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) compared to foreign loans and domestic savings in short- and long-term economic growth of Indonesia. Data were obtained from World Bank and Bank Indonesia and used in error correction model to explain the linkage between predictors and economic growth. We show that in the short run, the three explanatory variables significantly affect economic growth. In the long run, compared to FDI and foreign loans, domestic savings positively and significantly affect economic growth. This study emphasizes the importance of sustaining domestic savings to maintain the stability of economic fundamentals in the long term.DOI: 10.15408/etk.v17i1.7120
Determinants of Inflation in the Local Economy
Authors: Sriyana Jaka 
Published: February 2018

This research analyzes the determinants of inflation rate in the local economy. It uses co-integration and vector error correction to capture the long and short run relationship between inflation rate and other economic variables. We find that the determinants of inflation rate in Yogyakarta are minimum wage, economic growth, and monetary variables indicated by BI-rate. More finding, exchange rate also contributes to the price change. This research finds evidence of long-run causality between minimum wage and inflation and unidirectional relationship from wage to inflation in the short run. This finding confirms the proposition of non-neutrality wage on price changes. The inflation rate in the local economy depends not only on the regional indicator but also depends on international changes reflected in the exchange rate. Monetary variable indicated by BI- rate also partially contributes to the price changes at the local level. Overall, the local government has successfully managed the price changes.DOI: 10.15408/etk.v17i1.7146

A questão da intencionalidade no assédio moral
Authors: Soboll Lis Andrea , Miara Thais , Moscalewsky Juliana 
Published: February 2018

O presente artigo aborda e a questão da intencionalidade na caracterização dos casos de assédio moral, apresentando dois posicionamentos distintos: 1. Intencionalidade como critério obrigatório para caracterização do assédio e 2. Intencionalidade como elemento complementar para a caracterização do assédio. Contempla também a discussão sobre as implicações do uso da intencionalidade como critério obrigatório, passando pela questão das responsabilidades, tomando como dados de realidade três ações julgadas no judiciário trabalhista. Conclui-se que a intencionalidade no assédio moral é abordada com frequência na literatura, com superficialidade e pouca clareza, dando espaço para que este critério, quando adotado como obrigatório, leve a uma análise que tende a buscar culpados, com repercussões na área da saúde, da gestão e do direito.
Equidad, Justicia y Reconocimiento en el Trabajo de los Profesores/as de Escuelas Vulnerables Chilenas
Authors: Guerrero Patricia 
Published: February 2018

In this article we argue that Chilean public policies understand equity as equal opportunity, and justice as individual social mobility. The organization of work around this understanding of equity is about management and promotes "success and quality for all." As a result we see that this promise is not fulfilled in vulnerable sectors and exposes teachers to lack of recognition of their work and influences their relationship with students as well as their mental health. This research is done with a clinical sociology approach. We conclude that it is necessary to change public policies in Chile to a notion of equity to social justice that will transform public policy and management practices of schools.

Fish play an important role in human nutrition and therefore need to be carefully and routinely monitored to ensure that there are no high levels of heavy metals being transferred to human through their consumption. This study has been carried out to determine level of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, and Cd) in water and angel fish, Chelmon rostractus collected from coast of Batam. We report levels of Cu, Cd and Pb in water and angel fish from Coast Batam using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). Level of heavy metals obtained in water and fishes were fluctuative. Cu was obtained in both, water and fish muscles. Level of Cu in fishes muscle still under the permissible limit, but it was exceeded permissible limit for water. Cd not detected in water, but it was obtained in fish muscles. Level of Cd in fishes from Tanjung Pinggir site was exceeded permissible limit. High level of Pb was found in water and fish muscles. Level of Pb in water and fish muscles were exceeded permissible limit. It is indicated that the coast Batam has contaminated with Cu, Pb and Cd.
