Authors: Rajagopalan Senthil , Moonot Pradeep , Sangar Anurag , Taylor Heath 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Syndesmotic injuries present a challenge to orthopedic surgeons. Malreduction of the syndesmosis has been reported to cause instability and secondary osteoarthritis and is correlated with poor subjective and objective outcomes. There are very few studies that report the outcome after revision fixation of these injuries. Previous studies have reported varying techniques for revision syndesmosis reconstruction, including screw fixation and tendon transfers.
We present the results of the use of the TightRope® suture for revision syndesmosis fixation. This implant has the advantage of maintaining physiological motion whilst allowing for healing of syndesmotic ligaments and prevents the need for further surgery to remove screws in already scarred soft tissues.

Materials and methods
We retrospectively analyzed 124 patients who required syndesmotic stabilization from January 2000 until December 2009. Eight of these 124 patients required surgical revision of their failed syndesmosis fixation, each of which was stabilized with the TightRope® Suture. All eight patients were followed up and their outcomes assessed. Seven of the eight patients in our study had technically sound initial fixation of the syndesmosis. Four of the eight patients had syndesmotic separation after screw removal 10 weeks after primary fixation.

Results
In our study, 6 of the 8 patients had good or satisfactory outcomes based on American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores. In spite of accurate revision fixation of the syndesmosis, two patients required further surgery. One patient had conversion to an ankle fusion because of persistent syndesmotic widening and ongoing pain after revision surgery. Another patient required syndesmotic arthrodesis as a result of persistent pain.

Conclusion
TightRope® suture fixation is a good method of syndesmosis stabilization in patients requiring revision surgery. Randomized studies would be required to compare the effectiveness of this method of fixation with screw fixation.

Diabetic Foot Infection: An Indian Scenario
Authors: Rastogi Ashu , Bhansali Anil 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Diabetes mellitus is assuming epidemic proportions and with that an increasing burden of diabetic foot complications. Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) contribute not only to morbidity, amputation, and increased health-care costs but also to mortality.

Aim
To review the literature regarding the epidemiology and management of DFIs in India.

Results
The socioepidemiology of diabetic foot and its complications in India is different from the West. There is a considerable delay in seeking a physician for foot problems, as patients continue invalidated and indigenous methods of treatment. At presentation, most of the foot ulcers are chronic, harbor infection, and neuropathic in origin compared to the West with predominantly neurovascular ulcers. A predominance of Gram-negative bacterial species is reported in DFIs, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the most common isolated organism. An initial empirical antibiotic choice covering Gram-negative bacteria is suggested.

Conclusion
There are very few studies on the countrywide prevalence of foot complications from India. In India, DFIs behave differently from the West because of sociocultural and economic differences. We need indigenous ways for prevention and management of DFIs in India.

Anterior Inferior Tibiofibular Ligament Reconstruction with Anchor Sutures compared with Trans-syndesmotic Screw Fixation for Ankle Syndesmotic Injuries
Authors: Kim Jin Su 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT
Background
Acute syndesmotic injuries were usually treated with trans-syndesmotic screw fixation. However, screw fixation is too strong compared with the physiologic ankle joint movement. In addition, it needs removal and leads to delayed rehabilitation. We propose the reconstruction of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) using suture anchors to substitute trans-syndesmotic screw fixation.

Materials and methods
We compared the results after trans-syndesmotic screw fixation and AITFL suture anchor fixation in syndesmotic injuries with or without ankle fracture. Consecutively, the trans-syndesmotic screw (group I) was conducted between June 2011 and June 2013, and since July 2013, suture anchor fixation was performed (group II). Reductions in quality, the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, and the Olerud–Molander ankle score (OMAS) were evaluated.

Results
The final AOFAS score and OMAS in both groups were not significantly different (p = 0.98, 0.67). Tibiofibular overlapping, tibiofibular space, and tibiofibular overlapping ratio to the tibial width in both groups had satisfactory reduction from the standards. Computed tomographic (CT) evaluation also confirmed that both groups had been anatomically reduced in standard. Anteroposterior axis reduction in CT was more accurate in group II. Nonclinically related complications were three broken screws in final follow-up in group I.

Conclusion
Both trans-syndesmotic screws and suture anchor fixation have satisfactory clinical outcomes. The suture anchor fixation for syndesmotic injury does not need removal and is less complicated compared with the trans-syndesmotic screw fixation.

How We do It. Trimalleolar Fractures: Fixing the Posterior Malleolus by Posterolateral Approach
Authors: Bansal Tungish , Dhillon, Mandeep S , Dureja, Kamal 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT
The understanding of trimalleolar fractures and, in particular, the posterior malleolus fragment has drastically evolved over the last decade. There has been a tilt in favor of fixing almost all posterior malleolus fragment in contrast to the old school thought of the 20th century. The concept of stability offered by posterior malleolus fixation to the syndesmotic stability is well understood now. Posterolateral approach has almost evolved as a gold standard approach for posterior malleolus fixation.

Therapeutic Diet: What We Need to Consider!
Authors: Ghosh Amrita 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT
Therapeutic diet is needed so that nutritional factors may not affect individuals in diseases during convalescence and rehabilitation. Different research groups have observed a correlation between diseases and diets with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical outcomes and complications. In spite of considerable progress in healthcare, there is scarce evidence-based research excellence on community-level compliance on dietary advice. We need to change our mindset to find user-friendly dietary guidelines for the improvement in clinical approach and treatment in patients with diverse diseases in daily medical practice.

Objetivo: Discutir as aproximações entre os conceitos de performance, documento, informação e memória, a fim de identificar as possíveis contribuições da ação e dos resultados dos registros para essa forma de arte.Método: Pesquisa de natureza teórica, pautada nos conceitos apresentados por Paul Otlet e Suzanne Briet (documento), Ana Maria Camargo e Heloísa Bellotto (documento de arquivo), Michael Buckland (informação), Renato Cohen, Peggy Phelan, Jorge Glusberg e Regina Melim (performance) e Pierre Nora e Ulpiano Meneses (memória).Resultado: A noção dos documentalistas clássicos, apesar de ampliada, não abdica da materialidade física/durável dos documentos. Como a performance não possui tal materialidade, não pode ser considerada documento. No âmbito da arquivologia, a performance é entendida como a atividade do artista, não sendo, portanto, documento. Com relação à informação, a performance se encaixa no tipo informação-como-conhecimento, já que é um evento. A respeito da memória, a performance é confrontada por dois anseios: o de resistir à sociedade de história e a necessidade social pelo conhecimento e pela permanência.Conclusões: Entende-se que os documentos gerados a partir da performance, ao invés de comprometerem sua identidade, podem ampliar as possibilidades de existência e resistência dessa manifestação artística na sociedade de história.
The impact of full-spectrum endoscopy on pathological lesion detection in different regions of the colon: a randomised, controlled trial
Authors: Pasternak Artur , Szura Miroslaw , Solecki Rafal , Bogacki Pawel , Bachul Piotr , A. Walocha Jerzy 
Published: September 2019

IntroductionColonoscopy is crucial for detecting and localising pathological lesions within the colon. Colonoscopy quality is defined by the caecal intubation rate, withdrawal time, adenoma detection rate, and polyp detection rate. The newly introduced full-spectrum endoscope (FUSE®) provides a 330° field of view, allowing endoscopists to observe more colonic anatomy. It is intended to increase detection of pathological lesions, especially those situated behind the haustral folds of the bowel. This diagnostic modality should increase the adenoma detection rate (ADR), especially in the right hemicolon. The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of FUSE for detecting pathologic lesions in different colonic regions.Material and methodsThe study enrolled 408 patients who were randomised to either a standard frontal view (SFV) or the novel full-spectrum colonoscopy. Analysis was performed among three broad regions of the colon: right, transverse, and left colon, according to the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale.ResultsFUSE yielded a higher diverticula detection rate (DDR) in the right and middle colon (DDR-R [p < 0.05], DDR-T [p < 0.05], DDR-L [p = 0.862]). ADR (p = 0.761), advanced ADR (aADR) (p = 0.950), and DDR (p = 0.967) in respective regions of the colon were similar between the groups; however, the total number of adenomas detected with FUSE was higher in the right and middle regions of the colon compared with those detected by SFV (p < 0.05).ConclusionsFull-spectrum colonoscopy allows for effective recognition of pathological lesions in the right and middle regions of the colon. Although full-spectrum colonoscopy did not statistically affect ADR, the absolute number of adenomas detected was higher compared with classical endoscopy.
Fifty years of recorded hillslope runoff on seasonally frozen ground: the Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada, dataset
Authors: Coles Anna E. , McDonnell Jeffrey J. , McConkey Brian G. 
Published: September 2019

Abstract. Long records of hillslope runoff and nutrient concentrations are
rare – on seasonally frozen ground they are almost non-existent. The Swift
Current hillslopes at the Swift Current Research and Development Centre on
the Canadian Prairies provide such a long-term hydrological record. Runoff,
runoff nutrient concentration, snowpack depth, density and water equivalent,
soil moisture, and soil nutrient concentration were monitored on the three 5 ha hillslopes over a 50-year period (1962–2011). Digital elevation data
are available for the three hillslopes at a 2 m horizontal resolution, and,
for one of the hillslopes (Hillslope 2), at a 0.25 m horizontal resolution.
Runoff from the hillslopes was generated episodically during snowmelt and
occasional rainfall events. Hillslope runoff was measured with a 0.61 m H-flume. Daily runoff nutrient concentration data are available for
nitrate–N (March 1971–April 2011), ammoniacal–N (February 1996–April
2011), and phosphate-P (March–April 1971; June 1991–April 2011). Snowpack
data (snowpack depth, density, and water equivalent) were determined via
manual snow surveys carried out several times each winter, between January
and March, between 1965 and 2011. Gravimetric soil moisture content was
measured in October and April each year between 1971 and 2011 at five depth
intervals (0–15, 15–30, 30–60, 60–90, and 90–120 cm) at nine points on each
hillslope. We provide these hillslope data in two publicly available
repositories: (1) 1962–2011 data on runoff, runoff nutrients, snowpack, soil
moisture, soil nutrients, and crop and tillage practices at https://doi.org/10.23684/hhn5-rz52 (McConkey and Thiagarajan, 2018); and (2) digital elevation data at
https://doi.org/10.20383/101.0117 (Coles et al., 2018).
Complete climate data recorded at a Environment and Climate Change Canada
meteorological station located 390 m from the three hillslopes are
publicly available at http://climate.weather.gc.ca/ (last access: 30 August 2019).
Activismo, co-creación e igualdad de género: la comunicación digital en la huelga feminista del 8M.
Authors: Fernández Rincón Antonio Raúl 
Published: September 2019

Presentamos un análisis de las estrategias de comunicación digital empleadas durante la huelga feminista del 8 de marzo de 2018. Coincidiendo con Día Internacional de la Mujer, se convocaron en 170 países huelgas feministas laborales, estudiantiles, de consumo y de cuidados. La jornada estuvo protagonizada por importantes movilizaciones en las principales ciudades. La repercusión mediática, política y social del evento sobrepasó considerablemente las expectativas que parecían haberse depositado en tal evento. Analizamos la actividad de la web elaborada ex-profeso para el evento (http://www.hacialahuelgafeminista.org) y la co-creación de contenidos comunicativos que se articulan a través de la comisión de comunicación, encargada de la relación con medios de comunicación (prensa/TV); el diseño gráfico unitario y la comunicación online tanto interna como externa: correo electrónico, redes sociales y web. Más allá del evento reivindicativo del 8 de marzo, estas plataformas siguen operativas meses después aunque con un nivel de actividad menor y vehiculando informaciones referidas a movilizaciones y acciones reivindicativas que siguen realizándose en el territorio nacional. Reflexionamos sobre los nuevos modelos de artivismo (activismo artístico) a través de la participación de ilustradoras y artistas independientes que pusieron su obra al servicio de dicha causa, mediante sus aportaciones en la cuenta de la red social Instagram. Discutimos finalmente la presencia de Internet (redes sociales, blogs, medios digitales, web…) como espacio de ocupación creativa con propuestas que se alejan de lo performativo y abundan en lo icónico y simbólico.
Enhanced Photocurrent Generation in Proton‐Irradiated “Giant” CdSe/CdS Core/Shell Quantum Dots

Published: September 2019

AbstractGroup II–VI quantum dots (QDs) possess tunable electrical and optical properties that make them very attractive for high‐tech applications and power generation. The effects of proton irradiation on both the structural and physical properties of “giant” CdSe/CdS core–shell QDs (g‐CS QDs) are investigated. These experiments shed light on photoelectron delocalization in g‐CS QDs, where current linkages and strong variations in optical emission result from the spatial extension of the photoelectron wavefunctions over the conduction bands of CdSe and CdS. Monte Carlo simulations of ion–matter interactions show that the damaging rates can be set from the energy of impinging protons to promote the formation of structural defects in the core or shell. The formation of nanocavities is demonstrated after irradiation doses higher than ≈1017 H+ cm−2, while a continuous decrease in luminescence intensity is observed for increasing proton fluencies. This feature is accompanied by a concomitant lifetime decrease marking the rise of nonradiative phenomena and the occurrence of greater photocarrier transfers between CdS and CdSe. Current‐to‐voltage characterizations evidence that proton implantation can be implemented to enhance the photocurrent generation in g‐CS QDs. This increase is attributed to the delocalization of photoelectrons in the CdS shell, whose improvement is found to promote electron–hole pair separation.
High Dielectric, Robust Composite Protective Layer for Dendrite‐Free and LiPF6 Degradation‐Free Lithium Metal Anode

Published: September 2019

AbstractThe development of lithium metal anodes for next generation batteries remains a challenge. Uncontrolled Li dendrite growth not only induces severe safety issues but also leads to capacity fading by continuously consuming the electrolyte. This study demonstrates the design and fabrication of a composite protective layer composed of a high dielectric polymer, inorganic particles, and an electrolyte to overcome these obstacles. This layer not only suppresses dendrite growth, but also prevents LiPF6 degradation. The electrolyte introduced in the protective layer remains within the coating layer after solvent removal and acts as an ion transport channel at the interface. This enables the protective layer to exhibit high ionic conductivity and mechanical strength. The composite protective layer, which exhibits synergistic soft‐rigid characteristics, is placed on the Li metal anode and facilitates superior interfacial stability during long‐term cycles. LiMn2O4/coated lithium full cells using the composite protective layer show a superior rate capability and enhanced capacity retention compared to the cells using a bare lithium anode. The proposed strategy opens new avenues to fabricate a sustainable composite protective layer that affords superior performance in lithium metal batteries.

Published: September 2019

AbstractConstruction of simple and efficient protein adsorption materials is extremely vital to satisfy the requirements of highly purified proteins in biopharmaceutical and biotechnological industries, yet remains challenging. Herein, a cost‐effective strategy to develop seaweed‐derived nanofibrous membranes (NFM) for ultrahigh protein adsorption is reported. Synergistic regulation by cosolvent of ethanol, nonionic surfactants of Triton X‐100, and polyethylene oxide (PEO5000k) is employed to realize electrospinning of seaweed‐derived sodium alginate (SA) nanofibers with higher alginate content of 98 wt% to date, and following water washing easily generates SA nanofibrous membranes (SA‐NFM) with excellent morphology. Benefiting from the nanoscale merit of large specific surface area and tortuously porous microstructure, SA‐NFM exhibit a high actual capacity of 1235 mg g−1 toward lysozyme, which far exceeds maximum value for the reported 2D membrane materials (710 mg g−1) and is about 20 times that of commercial membranes adsorbents (51 mg g−1). Higher dynamic capacity of 805 mg g−1 (gravity driven) is also realized to meet the demand of practical application. The SA‐NFM also possess outstanding reversibility and unique selectivity toward specific proteins. Herein, SA‐NFM represent a perfect candidate for next‐generation protein absorbents for fast and efficient bioseparation.

AbstractInterfacial charge transfer is a fundamental and crucial process in photoelectric conversion. If charge transfer is not fast enough, carrier harvesting can compromise with competitive relaxation pathways, e.g., cooling, trapping, and recombination. Some of these processes can strongly affect the speed and efficiency of photoelectric conversion. In this work, it is elaborated that plasmon‐induced hot‐electron transfer (HET) from tungsten suboxide to graphene is a sufficiently fast process to prevent carrier cooling and trapping processes. A fast near‐infrared detector empowered by HET is demonstrated, and the response time is three orders of magnitude faster than that based on common band‐edge electron transfer. Moreover, HET can overcome the spectral limit of the bandgap of tungsten suboxide (≈2.8 eV) to extent the photoresponse to the communication band of 1550 nm (≈0.8 eV). These results indicate that plasmon‐induced HET is a new strategy for implementation of efficient and high‐speed photoelectric devices.
