Egy pozsonyi könyvkiadó és rézmetsző: Johann Nepomuk Schauff (1757–1827)
Authors: V. Ecsedy Judit 
Published: March 2018

Johann Nepomuk Schauff (1757–1827) publisher and engraver was born in the Czech town Heřmanův městec, studied arts in Vienna, as student of Jakob Mathias Schmutzer and acted as professor of drawing in Pozsony (today Bratislava, Slovakia) in the national normal school for 25 years. He is also author of four studies about architecture and art history. Both in his capacity as an art teacher and as a writer on the theory of architecture he was convinced of the important role of art education, as a way of improving (Hungarian) national consciousness. Similarly to the trend in other countries he made sketches of a Hungarian national row of columns.
He had also private enterprises: an art shop in the inner city of Pozsony, selling books, copper-plate engravings and music scores, he was publishing books, and from 1792 to 1802 he was also the owner of a small but high-ranking printing shop. During this decade he issued 114 printings some of which decorated with his own engravings, but he was also employing other artists either from his town Pozsony or from the nearby Vienna, where he had aquaintances possibly dating back to his academic years. Among the copper-plate engravings signed by him one can find the coloured representation of the Hungarian Holy Crown, the portrait of King Leopold II., the portrait of the scholarly publisher Karl Gottlieb von Windisch, etc.
According to contemporary practice music scores of compositions were engraved on copper plates, and it was very likely only Johann Nep. Schauff who produced scores in Pozsony. The names of the composers range from Joseph Haydn to the normal school music teacher Franz Rigler.
By way of presenting the manyfold activities of Johann Nep. Schauff his relationship and connections with other printers, publishers and artists is also displayed.
In the Appendix Schauff’s engravings signed by him or attributed to him are listed together with the music scores issued by him.
„Az Boldog Aszszony képet radiusba vegyem”
Authors: Sarkadi Nagy Emese 
Published: March 2018

The first written evidence that is usually connected to the statue of the Virgin Mary in the Franciscan church of Csíksomlyó (Șumuleu Ciuc, Schomlenberg) dates from 1624, when an inventory mentions a sculpture of the Virgin and Child on a secondary altarpiece dedicated to the Holy Virgin. The identification with the present figure is however only hypothetic. Sure is, that the statue was placed on the new high altarpiece, executed by joiner János Nyerges/Hannes Sadler from Brassó (Kronstadt, Braşov) in 1664. Nothing is known on the figure previous to these dates and we have no information on its original provenance. The dimensions (of 210 cm without her baroque crown) and the way the backside is carved suggest, that the figure surely belonged to an important altarpiece of quite large dimensions, with a shrine probably higher than 3 - 3,50 meters.
The Franciscan manuscripts from the 17th-18th centuries never mention that the figure would have ever belonged to the (high) altarpiece of the Csíksomlyó monastery church, instead they repeat that its provenance is unknown, only explained by legends. One of these legends, which has a certain probability though, noted by Leonard Losteiner in his manuscript dedicated to the sculpture of the Virgin Mary and her miracles, says that the statue could have been brought from the village of Höltövény (Heldsdorf, Hălchiu), a church which even today preserves its notably large winged altarpiece, with a shrine of 361 cm, which would perfectly fit the figure in point. Also the local historical literature knows of some devotional figures having been once moved from Höltövény to Csíksomlyó. However, the idea remains a hypothesis until it can be proved. Sure is, that only the workshops of the Transylvanian Saxon towns were prepared to produce at the beginning of the 16th century sculptures of such dimensions.
A detailed observation of the statue shows that a number of its characteristics differ a lot from the style known at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The figure was most probably slightly remodelled, renewed, repaired perhaps with the occasion of its placement to the high altarpiece in 1664, but later interventions are also possible.
The fact, that the figure was brought to Csíksomlyó and placed on the high altarpiece of the church in a new function of a cult image could have to do with the introduction of the Pentacost pilgrimage, the first mention of which dates to 1649. The first miracles of the statue are documented right after its placement on the high altar and these have probably contributed to the spread of the new pilgrimage and through this to the renewal of the monastery itself, almost completely depopulated by the second half of the sixteenth century.
An Interdisciplinary Population Health Approach to Radon Health Risk Management in Canada
Authors: Khan Selim M , Gomes James 
Published: March 2018

Radon is a known carcinogen found in indoor air that exists at higher than the federal reference level (200 Bq/m3) in about 10% of Canadian homes. Every year, over 3,000 people die from radon-induced lung cancer, which accounts for 16% of annual lung cancer deaths in Canada. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among non-smokers and is second among smokers. Children, women, and smokers from lower income groups are disproportionately affected. Although the Federal Government has reset the guideline (from the previous 600 Bq/m3 down to 200 Bq/m3) and provincial governments revised the building codes to limit exposure, there remain controversies with the latest scientific development in adopting strategies of radon management in Canada.
This review applies an Integrated Population Health Framework to look at the relationships and interactions between population health determinants such as biology and genetics, environment and occupation, and social and economic factors, that influence the health risk of radon. The evidence gathered supports policy analysis with the application of ethical and risk management principles that lead to the identification of efficient and affordable broad-based and population-level preventive strategies. The final inferences enhance the framework by adding critical intervention modalities to Health Canada’s National Radon Program.

Authors: COSTA Jesaías Ismael da , MARTINS Maria Inez Espagnoli , AYROZA Daercy Maria Monteiro de Rezende 
Published: March 2018

Este trabalho avaliou o impacto econômico do controle do mexilhão-dourado na criação de tilápia-do-nilo em tanques-rede de diferentes volumes e escalas de produção. Foram selecionadas 12 pisciculturas situadas no reservatório Ilha Solteira, no rio Paraná (SP/MS), e em Canoas II e Chavantes, no rio Paranapanema (SP/PR). As informações de desembolsos e capital necessários para calcular o custo do controle do mexilhão foram obtidas por meio de questionário apresentado aos piscicultores. Foram contabilizados os gastos com mão de obra, manutenção e depreciação da infraestrutura e equipamentos utilizados na limpeza; manutenção e depreciação adicional dos tanques-rede; e energia elétrica ou combustí­­vel gastos em serviços de limpeza. As empresas de grande porte foram as que tiveram os menores custos incrementais, independentemente do volume dos tanques-rede. A depreciação e a manutenção dos tanques-rede foram os fatores que mais impactaram o custo para o controle de mexilhão, a uma taxa média de 69,89%. O menor custo incremental foi observado nas pisciculturas de grande porte (R$ 0,45 kg fish-1), seguido das de médio e pequeno porte (R$ 1,00 kg fish-1). O impacto econômico médio foi de 11,48% (grande porte), 27,25% (médio porte) e 25,81% (pequeno porte). Considerando o volume dos tanques-rede esse impacto variou entre 7,83% em tanques de 108 m3 e 19,22% em tanques de 6 m3 .

Published: March 2018

Abstract:
We previously compared the 15-year survivorship of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants that were mechanically aligned (0° ± 3° relative to the mechanical axis) compared with those that were outside that range and considered outliers. The original publication included 398 TKAs (292 in the aligned group and 106 in the outlier group) performed from 1985 to 1990. At the time of follow-up in the previous study, 138 patients (155 TKAs) had died and 59 knees had been revised. Since that publication, 49 additional patients (87 knees) have died. At 20 years, 57 (19.5%) of the 292 knees in the mechanically aligned group had been revised compared with 16 (15.1%) of the 106 knees in the outlier group (p = 0.97). Postoperative alignment within 0° ± 3° of the mechanical axis did not provide a functional advantage at 1, 5, 10, 15, and/or 20 years postoperatively as demonstrated by the Knee Society scores being similar between the groups (p ≥ 0.2 at all intervals). At 20 years, we once again did not find that neutral mechanical alignment provided better implant survivorship than that found in the outlier group.

Variability in the Preparation, Reporting, and Use of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate in Musculoskeletal Disorders
Authors: Piuzzi Nicolas S. , Hussain Zaamin B. , Chahla Jorge , Cinque Mark E. , Moatshe Gilbert , Mantripragada Venkata P. , Muschler George F. , LaPrade Robert F. 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Interest in the therapeutic potential of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) has grown exponentially. However, comparisons among studies and their processing methods are challenging because of inconsistent reporting of protocols, as well as poor characterization of the composition of the initial bone marrow aspirate and of the final products delivered. The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the level of reporting related to the protocols used for BMAC preparation and the composition of BMAC utilized in the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases in published clinical studies.

Methods:
A systematic review of the literature was performed by searching PubMed, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from 1980 to 2016. Inclusion criteria were human clinical trials, English language, and manuscripts that reported on the use of BMAC in musculoskeletal conditions.

Results:
After a comprehensive review of the 986 identified articles, 46 articles met the inclusion criteria for analysis. No study provided comprehensive reporting that included a clear description of the preparation protocol that could be used by subsequent investigators to repeat the method. Only 14 (30%) of the studies provided quantitative metrics of the composition of the BMAC final product.

Conclusions:
The reporting of BMAC preparation protocols in clinical studies was highly inconsistent and studies did not provide sufficient information to allow the protocol to be reproduced. Moreover, comparison of the efficacy and yield of BMAC products is precluded by deficiencies in the reporting of preparation methods and composition. Future studies should contain standardized and stepwise descriptions of the BMAC preparation protocol, and the composition of the BMAC delivered, to permit validating and rationally optimizing the role of BMAC in musculoskeletal care.
Does Vancomycin Powder Decrease Surgical Site Infections in Growing Spine Surgery?
Authors: Thompson George H. , Poe-Kochert Connie , Hardesty Christina K. , Son-Hing Jochen , Mistovich R. Justin 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Vancomycin powder has been demonstrated to be safe in children, and yet there are no data on its use to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) in surgery for early-onset scoliosis.

Methods:
We performed a retrospective study of our patients treated for early-onset scoliosis in the period of 2010 to 2016. In 2010, we updated our standardized perioperative growing spine care path. The only later change was the gradual introduction of intrawound vancomycin powder. Procedures were categorized into either the control group (without vancomycin powder) or the experimental group (with vancomycin powder), with otherwise identical perioperative management. Initial insertion, revision, and lengthening procedures and final fusions were included. We compared the rate of postoperative SSIs per procedure between the groups.

Results:
Thirty-six patients who underwent 191 procedures met the inclusion criteria. The clinical and radiographic data were essentially the same between the groups. During the study period, 14 (39%) of the 36 patients developed ≥1 deep SSI. Only 2 patients had multiple acute infections. There were 87 procedures with 12 infections in the control group (SSI rate of 13.8% per procedure), while there were 104 procedures with 5 infections in the vancomycin group (4.8% per procedure). The difference in the SSI rate per procedure was significant (p = 0.038). The number of individual procedures needed to be performed using vancomycin to prevent an SSI was 10.9.

Conclusions:
The use of vancomycin powder in growing spine surgery for early-onset scoliosis is associated with a significant decreased risk of SSI. It appears to be effective even when previous surgeries have been performed without its use.

Clinical Outcomes Following the Latarjet Procedure in Contact and Collision Athletes
Authors: Privitera David M. , Sinz Nathan J. , Miller Lindsay R. , Siegel Elana J. , Solberg Muriel J. , Daniels Stephen D. , Higgins Laurence D. 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Few studies have evaluated the success of the Latarjet procedure for recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability in the contact or collision athlete. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the return-to-sport and functional results of the Latarjet procedure in this select group.

Methods:
One hundred and nine consecutive contact or collision athletes (112 shoulders) treated with an open Latarjet procedure for recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability were retrospectively identified. Seventy-three shoulders in 73 patients (67%) were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 52 months (range, 24 to 120 months). The average age at surgery was 25.8 years (range, 15 to 54 years). The primary outcomes were the scores on the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) questionnaire, a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, and return to sport. Predictors of return to sport were analyzed.

Results:
Six (8%) of the 73 patients experienced ≥1 postoperative dislocations. Ten additional patients (14%) experienced a perception of instability without a dislocation. The median postoperative WOSI and ASES scores were 382 (range, 0 to 2,016) and 93.3 (range, 21.7 to 100), respectively. The median postoperative VAS pain score was 0 (range, 0 to 10). Forty-nine percent (36) of the 73 patients returned to their preoperative sports level, 14% (10) decreased their activity level in the same sport, 12% (9) changed sports, and 25% (18) decreased their level of activity and changed sports or stopped participating in sports altogether. Patients with ≥2 stabilization procedures prior to the Latarjet procedure demonstrated a lower likelihood of returning to their original sport (p = 0.019; relative risk = 2.84; 95% confidence interval = 1.34 to 6.06). The percentage of glenoid bone loss showed no association with the return-to-sport rate (p = 0.507).

Conclusions:
The outcome of the Latarjet procedure in high-risk contact or collision athletes is variable. Patients who have fewer prior stabilization surgical procedures are more likely to successfully return to their original sport.

A Conceptual Model for the Evaluation of Surgical Missions
Authors: Bido Jennifer , Ghazinouri Roya , Collins Jamie E. , Diez Portela Desirée , Alcantara Luis , Thornhill Thomas S. , Katz Jeffrey N. 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Medical missions to low and middle-income countries are increasingly frequent, with an estimated 6,000 trips sponsored by U.S. organizations accounting for approximately 200,000 surgical cases and $250 million in costs annually. However, these missions have received little critical evaluation. This paper describes the research program Operation Walk (Op-Walk) Boston, and proposes an evaluation model for similar surgical missions.

Methods:
We propose an evaluation model, borrowing from the work of Donabedian and enriched by evidence from our research program. The model calls for evaluation of the salient contextual factors (culture and beliefs), system management (structure, process, and outcomes), and sustainability of the program’s interventions. We used these domains to present findings from the quantitative and qualitative research work of Op-Walk Boston.

Results:
Op-Walk’s qualitative research findings demonstrated that cultural factors are important determinants of patients’ perceptions of arthritis etiology, physical activity patterns, and treatment preferences. Quantitative assessments documented that Dominican patients had worse lower-extremity functional status (mean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index [WOMAC] function score of 33.6) and pain preoperatively than patients undergoing total hip or knee replacement in the U.S. (WOMAC function score of 43.3 to 54), yet they achieved excellent outcomes (50-point improvement), comparable to those of their U.S. counterparts. Assessments of the quality and sustainability of the Op-Walk program showed that the quality of care provided by Op-Walk Boston meets Blue Cross Blue Shield Centers of Excellence (Blue Distinction) criteria, and that sustainable changes were transferred to the host hospital.

Conclusions:
Our proposed model offers a method for formal assessment of medical missions that addresses the call for evidence of their merit. We suggest that surgical missions adopt quantitative and qualitative strategies to document their impact, identify areas of improvement, and justify program continuation, growth, and support.

<p>The study was aimed to determine the productivity and yield stability of ratoon rice genotypes in three environments and to obtain rice genotypes suistable for ratoonning on specific environment of tidal land. The experiment was designed in a randomized complete block with three replicates. Seedling was planted at 21 days old with spacing of 20 x 20 cm, one seedling per hill. Plants were harvested 30 days after heading by cutting at a height of 10 cm from the soil surface. One day after harvest, the land was irrigated as high as 3 cm and fertilized with Urea 50 kg/ha, TSP 30 kg/ha, and KCl 25 kg/ha. Yield stability was analyzed according to Eberhart and Russel (1966). Ratoons were sensitive to the environmental changes. Genotype IPB97-F-13-1-1, IPB 4S, and IPB 3S produced the main crop + ratoon grain yield of 5.26 t/ha, 5.14 t/ha, and 5.64 t/ha dry milling grain (DMG), respectively. Based on yield of the main crop + ratoon, IPB97-F-13-1-1 and IPB 4S was each considered as adaptable to the suboptimum condition (bi&lt;1). Ratoon crop yield of genotype IPB97-F-13-1-1, IPB 4S, and IPB 3S each was the highest in three locations. The ratoon crop contribution to the rice production was from 31.3% to 61.9% to the main crop.</p>
Tracking user satisfaction of rural water services in northern Ghana
Authors: Kumasi T. C. , Agbemor Benjamin Dawurah 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The article discusses the level of user satisfaction with actual handpump service levels and performance of service providers. In this paper, we outline some contradiction between actual service levels, performance of service providers and perception of water users. The findings suggest that users appeared satisfied with quantity and reliability of water facilities. In contrast, they were not satisfied with the time it takes them to access water, especially when the quantity of water diminishes. The sad irony is that tariffs are perceived affordable yet users are unwilling to pay for water. Their responses paint a picture of a payment system that is geared at reactive maintenance over preventative maintenance regime. It is worth noting here that this phenomenon raises questions on the sustainability of water systems when sound financial management is key to sustaining services. Service providers were perceived to perform better than they actually did. Perhaps this was due to lack of information and ignorance on the roles of service providers. In this regard it is imperative that the Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA), implementing partners, the district assemblies and Water and Sanitation Management Teams (WSMTs) take steps to address the technical, social, financial and institutional factors during the planning, implementation and post-construction support which invariably affect sustainability.
