Tuning Gel–Sol Transition Behavior of a Hydrogel Based on 12-Hydroxystearic Acid and a Long-Chain Amidoamine Derivative
Authors: Nakagawa Makoto , Kawai Takeshi 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
High-performance, low molecular weight gelators can be used as stimuli-responsive functional materials and soft templates for shape-controlled metal nanomaterials. In previous work, we reported that double-helical Au nanowires (NWs) can be synthesized in semi-transparent hydrogels prepared by addition of LiCl to aqueous solutions of d-12-hydroxystearic acid (HSA) and a long-chain amidoamine derivative (C18AA). In this work, we report the effect of three components, i.e., C18AA, HSA, and LiCl, on the fluidity and thermal properties of the hydrogel and the morphological structure of the gelator consisting of C18AA and HSA. We also demonstrate that gelation-degelation regulation and the gel–sol transition temperature can be controlled by tuning the concentrations of LiCl and C18AA, respectively. Further, the degelation behavior affords a gentle removal of the hydrogel soft template from double-helical Au NWs simply by washing with water.

Aims The aim of this large registry-based study was to compare mid-term survival rates of cemented femoral stems of different designs used in hemiarthroplasty for a fracture of the femoral neck. Patients and Methods From the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register (NHFR), 20 532 primary cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasties, which were undertaken in patients aged > 70 years with a femoral neck fracture between 2005 and 2016, were included. Polished tapered stems (n = 12 065) (Exeter and CPT), straight stems (n = 5545) (Charnley, Charnley Modular, and Spectron EF), and anatomical stems (n = 2922) (Lubinus SP2) were included. The survival of the implant with any reoperation as the endpoint was calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method and hazard ratios (HRs), and the different indications for reoperation were calculated using Cox regression analysis. Results The one-year survival was 96.0% (95% confidence interval (CI) 95.6 to 96.4) for the Exeter stem, 97.0% (95% CI 96.4 to 97.6) for the Lubinus SP2 stem, 97.6% (95% CI 97.0 to 98.2) for the Charnley stem, 98.1% (95% CI 97.3 to 98.9) for the Spectron EF stem, and 96.4% (95% CI 95.6 to 97.2) for the Charnley Modular stem, respectively. The hazard ratio for reoperation after one year was lower for Lubinus SP2 (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.97), Charnley (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.86), and Spectron EF stems (HR 0.44, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.67) compared with the Exeter stem. Reoperation for periprosthetic fracture occurred almost exclusively after the use of polished tapered stems. Conclusion We were able to confirm that implant survival after cemented hemiarthroplasty for a hip fracture is high. Differences in rates of reoperation seem to favour anatomical and straight stems compared with polished tapered stems, which had a higher risk of periprosthetic fracture.

Published: November 2018

Aims We present our experience of using a metal-backed prosthesis and autologous bone graft to treat gross glenoid bone deficiency. Patients and Methods A prospective cohort study of the first 45 shoulder arthroplasties using the SMR Axioma Trabecular Titanium (TT) metal-backed glenoid with autologous bone graft. Between May 2013 and December 2014, 45 shoulder arthroplasties were carried out in 44 patients with a mean age of 64 years (35 to 89). The indications were 23 complex primary arthroplasties, 12 to revise a hemiarthroplasty or resurfacing, five for aseptic loosening of the glenoid, and five for infection. Results Of the 45 patients, 16 had anatomical shoulder arthroplasties (ASA) and 29 had reverse shoulder arthroplasties (RSA). Postoperatively, 43/45 patients had a CT scan. In 41 of 43 patients (95%), the glenoid peg achieved > 50% integration. In 40 of 43 cases (93%), the graft was fully or partially integrated. There were seven revisions (16%) but only four (9%) required a change of baseplate. Four (25%) of the 16 ASAs were revised for instability or cuff failure. At two-year radiological follow-up, five of the 41 cases (11%) showed some evidence of lucent lines. Conclusion The use of a metal baseplate with a trabecular titanium surface in conjunction with autologous bone graft is a reliable method of addressing glenoid bone defects in primary and revision RSA setting in the short term. ASAs have a higher rate of complications with this technique.
Prognostic indicators of outcome for patients with skeletal metastases from carcinoma of the prostate

Published: November 2018

AimsThe purpose of this study was to identify prognostic indicators of outcome at presentation to the orthopaedic surgeon, in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Our aim was to use this information in a pragmatic, clinic-based approach so that surgical decision making could be optimized to benefit the patient in their remaining lifetime.Patients and MethodsA cohort analysis was undertaken of all patients with metastatic disease of the prostate who presented to a regional orthopaedic centre in the United Kingdom between 2003 and 2016. Biochemical data were collected in addition to disease and demographic data. These included: prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at orthopaedic presentation; haemoglobin (Hb); platelets (plt); alkaline phosphatase (ALP); albumin (Alb); and corrected calcium (CaC). Statistical analysis included Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, and a Cox proportional hazards model was fitted to the data.ResultsFrom the departmental database, 137 episodes were identified in 136 patients with a median age at presentation of 72 years (interquartile range (IQR) 66 to 78). Most patients had stage IV disease (n = 98, 72%), and most did not undergo surgical intervention. At one-year follow-up, 50% of patients had died. Biomarkers found to be independently associated with poor survival were: low Hb, low Alb, relatively low PSA (< 30 mmol/l), and a raised ALP. Patients who needed surgical intervention had a poorer survival rate than patients who were managed nonoperatively.ConclusionThe study findings are important for orthopaedic clinical practice in the management of patients with metastatic prostate cancer. The interpretation of routine blood tests can help to predict survival in patients who present with orthopaedic manifestations of prostate cancer. A lower PSA is not necessarily a good prognostic sign. We believe that simple blood testing should be carried out routinely when assessing a patient, guiding potential surgical management and palliative care in the future.
Rapid decrease of cast-induced forces during the treatment of clubfoot using the Ponseti method

Published: November 2018

Aims The Ponseti method is an effective evidence-based treatment for clubfoot. It uses gentle manipulation to adjust the position of the foot in serial treatments towards a more physiological position. Casting is used to hold the newly achieved position. At first, the foot resists the new position imposed by the plaster cast, pressing against the cast, but over time the tissues are expected to adapt to the new position and the force decreases. The aim of this study was to test this hypothesis by measuring the forces between a clubfoot and the cast during treatment with the Ponseti method. Patients and Methods Force measurements were made during the treatment of ten idiopathic clubfeet. The mean age of the patients was seven days (2 to 30); there were nine boys and one girl. Force data were collected for several weeks at the location of the first metatarsal and the talar neck to determine the adaptation rate of the clubfoot. Results In all measurements, the force decreased over time. The median (interquartile range) half-life time was determined to be at 26 minutes (20 to 53) for the first metatarsal and 22 minutes (9 to 56) for the talar neck, suggesting that the tissues of the clubfoot adapt to the new position within several hours. Conclusion This is the first study to provide objective force data that support the hypothesis of adaptation of the idiopathic clubfoot to the new position imposed by the cast. We showed that the expected decrease in corrective force over time does indeed exist and adaptation occurs after a relatively short period of time. The rapid reduction in the forces acting on the foot during treatment with the Ponseti method may allow significant reductions in the interval between treatments compared with the generally accepted period of one week.

Published: November 2018

Objectives Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication following total joint arthroplasty. Non-contact induction heating of metal implants is a new and emerging treatment for PJI. However, there may be concerns for potential tissue necrosis. It is thought that segmental induction heating can be used to control the thermal dose and to limit collateral thermal injury to the bone and surrounding tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine the thermal dose, for commonly used metal implants in orthopaedic surgery, at various distances from the heating centre (HC). Methods Commonly used metal orthopaedic implants (hip stem, intramedullary nail, and locking compression plate (LCP)) were heated segmentally using an induction heater. The thermal dose was expressed in cumulative equivalent minutes at 43°C (CEM43) and measured with a thermal camera at several different distances from the HC. A value of 16 CEM43 was used as the threshold for thermal damage in bone. Results Despite high thermal doses at the HC (7161 CEM43 to 66 640 CEM43), the thermal dose at various distances from the HC was lower than 16 CEM43 for the hip stem and nail. For the fracture plate without corresponding metal screws, doses higher than 16 CEM43 were measured up to 5 mm from the HC. Conclusion Segmental induction heating concentrates the thermal dose at the targeted metal implant areas and minimizes collateral thermal injury by using the non-heated metal as a heat sink. Implant type and geometry are important factors to consider, as they influence dissipation of heat and associated collateral thermal injury. Cite this article: B. G. Pijls, I. M. J. G. Sanders, E. J.

Caregiving Helplessness Questionnaire (CHQ) applied to Portuguese mothers of preschool-aged children: A psychometric study
Authors: Toscano Carolina , Baptista Joana , Mesquita Ana , George Carol , Soares Isabel 
Published: November 2018

O sistema de vinculação da criança é complementado por um sistema, separado e recíproco, de prestação de cuidados parentais, que guia as respostas de proteção do cuidador em relação à criança. Disrupções neste último sistema poderão conduzir a uma prestação de cuidados desorganizada; no entanto, o conhecimento acerca da desorganização da prestação de cuidados permanece incompleta, estando o seu estudo limitado a metodologias dispendiosas. O presente estudo pretendeu analisar as qualidades psicométricas do Caregiving Helplessness Questionnaire (CHQ), uma ferramenta de screening para a desorganização da prestação de cuidados, numa amostra de 200 mães portuguesas de crianças em idade pré-escolar. A análise factorial confirmatória não confirmou a estrutura da versão original do CHQ. Uma solução de cinco fatores verificou-se como sendo a melhor, produzindo cinco escalas conceptualmente correspondentes às principais dimensões da desorganização das relações em idade pré-escolar: Mother Helpless, Mother Frightened, Child Frightened, Child Cheers Mothers e Child Caregiving. O estudo da consistência interna obteve resultados satisfatórios e a validade convergente e discriminante foi confirmada. A validade concorrente também foi estabelecida através de associações significativas entre as escalas do CHQ e variáveis dos domínios materno e da criança que têm sido conceptual e empiricamente associadas com a desorganização. Em conclusão, os resultados suportam a validade do CHQ para mães portuguesas de crianças pré-escolares, como um instrumento de screening promissor desorganização da prestação de cuidados.
Leksyka związana z rodziną w poezji religijnej polskiego oświecenia
Authors: Gorzelana Joanna 
Published: November 2018

Artykuł dotyczy słownictwa wskazującego na rodzinę w polskim oświeceniu. Analiza opiera się na poezji religijnej K. Benisławskiej, F. Karpińskiego, F.D. Kniaźnina, J.P. Woronicza i J.A. Załuskiego. Uwzględniony został w niej aspekt życia ziemskiego i relacja między Bogiem a człowiekiem oraz wynikające z nich skomplikowane zależności: dzięcięctwo wszystkich ludzi, macierzyństwo Maryi i braterstwo między ludźmi a Jezusem-Bogiem. W sumie analizie poddano 76 jednostek, bogatą grupę stanowią np. określenia dziecka: potomek, niemowlę, niemówlę, niemówlątko, dziecko, ziecina, dziecię, dziatki, dziateczki, dziatwa, syn, córka, córa. Poeci, przedstawiając członków rodziny, wskazują na ich powinności względem Boga i najbliższych. W poezji Benisławskiej wyraźnie dowartościowana jest kobieta, która jako matka i mężatka uczestniczy w życiu na chwałę Boga.

Celem niniejszego tekstu, będącego kontynuacją naszych rozważań dotyczących unkcjonowania słownictwa religijnego na płaszczyźnie leksykograficznej, jest analiza jednowyrazowych chrześcijańskich nazw zakonnic i zakonników. Materiał badawczy został wyekscerpowany z trzech współczesnych słowników języka polskiego (Słownika języka polskiego pod redakcją Mieczysława Szymczaka, Słownika współczesnego języka polskiego pod redakcją Bogusława Dunaja oraz Uniwersalnego słownika języka polskiego pod redakcją Stanisława Dubisza). Na uzyskany z nich zbiór jednostek złożyło się 50 określeń wynotowanych ze słownika pod red. Szymczaka, 32 z dzieła pod red. Dunaja i 52 z ostatniego z wymienionych tytułów (dla porównania – w stanowiącym inspirację do podjęcia przez nas tego zagadnienia Słowniku tematycznym języka polskiego. Człowiek w krainie słów autorstwa Małgorzaty Kity i Edwarda Polańskiego nazw zakonnic i zakonników odnotowano 120). W tekście przeprowadziłyśmy wnikliwą analizę chronologiczną materiału, do czego posłużyły nam liczne opracowania leksykograficzne – od Słownika staropolskiego, Słownika polszczyzny XVI wieku, przez Słownik Lindego, wileński, warszawski, po Praktyczny słownik współczesnej polszczyzny pod redakcją Haliny Zgółkowej. Wykazałyśmy również, że w siatce haseł poszczególnych słowników pojawiają się w większości te same jednostki językowe, a także w podobny sposób są one definiowane. Natomiast różnice między słownikami zaznaczają się wyraźniej na płaszczyźnie opisu leksykograficznego, a zwłaszcza dotyczą kwestii kwalifikacji haseł.
Plato on Incorrect and Deceptive Pleasures
Authors: Fletcher Emily 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
In the Philebus, Socrates argues that pleasure, like judgment, can be “false” (pseudēs). Most scholars who discuss this claim restrict their interpretation to Socrates’ first argument that pleasure can be “false”, where Socrates uses pseudēs as a synonym of “incorrect” (ouk orthēs) (37a–40e). As a result, scholars have failed to recognize that in the next argument (41a–42c) Socrates uses pseudēs to pick out a different problem with pleasure: in certain circumstances, a pleasure can deceptively appear to a subject to be larger or smaller than it really is. As Socrates explicitly distinguishes between these two problems with pleasure, he is guilty of neither confusion nor intentional equivocation in his application of the predicate pseudēs. The distinction also resolves many longstanding interpretive puzzles, including the relationship between mixed and “false” pleasures and why Socrates describes the pleasures of sight, hearing, smell and learning as both pure and “true” (alētheis).
Hume’s (Ad Hoc?) Appeal to the Calm Passions
Authors: Qu Hsueh 
Published: November 2018

AbstractHume argues that whenever we seem to be motivated by reason, there are unnoticed calm passions that play this role instead, a move that is often criticised asad hoc(e. g. Stroud 1977 and Cohon 2008). In response, some commentators propose a conceptual rather than empirical reading of Hume’s conativist thesis, either as a departure from Hume (Stroud 1977), or as an interpretation or rational reconstruction (Bricke 1996). I argue that conceptual accounts face a dilemma: either they render the conativist thesis trivial, or they violate Hume’s thesis that ‘a priori, any thing may produce any thing’ (THN1.4.5.30). I defend an empirical construal of Hume’s conativist thesis. I provide two theoretical frameworks within which Hume’s appeal to the calm passions may be justified: first, by the framework of theoretical virtues, and secondly, by lights of his own “rules by which to judge of causes and effects” (THN1.3.15).
Reduced susceptibility to disinfectants of Acinetobacter baumannii biofilms on glass and ceramic

Published: November 2018

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility of hospital and environmental Acinetobacter baumannii isolate biofilms on ceramics and glass to common disinfectants benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine. For this purpose we developed a new method for biofilm cultivation and quantification on ceramics. The biofilm bacteria were more resistant to disinfectants than the planktonic populations, as more than 50 % of the biofilm population and none of the planktonic population survived 5-minute exposure. Furthermore, biofilm populations on ceramic tiles were significantly more resistant than those on glass coverslips, even though the amount of biofilm was practically the same on ceramics and glass. The reason for reduced susceptibility of A. baumannii biofilms on ceramics may be related to surface/disinfection interactions. Our findings suggest that biofilms on ceramic surfaces can be an important source of A. baumannii infection in hospital environments.

Subsidy Risk Related to Construction Projects: Seeking Causes
Authors: Hanak Tomas , Korytarova Jana 
Published: November 2018

AbstractMany construction projects are realized with public subsidy, e.g. subsidies from the European Union, state budget and/ or municipal resources. The reimbursement of the subsidy depends on a number of conditions, such as completion of the project in time or compliance with operation conditions. The purpose of this research is to seek causes of subsidy risk related to construction projects. In particular, research aims at addressing causes that may lead to the loss of subsidy, reduction of subsidy and/or a penalty payment. Research is conducted as a case study of selected construction projects and the Czech Republic is chosen as a study area. Set of data representing 20 construction projects which faced the threat of reduction or loss of subsidy was collected from available sources and results represent the spectrum of identified risk causes and their distribution in the different phases of the project life cycle and according to the risk source breakdown structure. From managerial perspective, output of this research may serve as a support for investors who plan to apply for public subsidy for their construction projects. Several recommendations for subsidy risk avoidance have been proposed at the end of the paper.

AbstractObjectiveMesenteric ischemia (MESI) is a rare but often fatal complication in patients after cardiac surgery. Non-specific clinical symptoms and lack of specific laboratory parameters complicate the diagnosis. We evaluated potential serum markers for MESI in cardiac surgery patients.MethodsBetween March and October 2012, serial serum samples of 567 elective cardiac surgery patients were collected 1, 24, and 48 h after the operation, and concentrations of potential markers for MESI [α-glutathione-S-transferase (αGST), intestinal fatty-acid-binding protein (iFABP), and D-lactate] were measured retrospectively. In patients requiring laparotomy, blood samples obtained 72, 48, 24, and 12 h before the laparotomy were additionally measured and compared to all other patients (control group).ResultsLaparotomy was performed in 18 patients at 11±7 days after cardiac surgery. MESI was found in 9/18 patients. Already 1 h after cardiac surgery, the serum concentrations of D-lactate (37±18 vs. 25±20 nmol/mL, p<0.01) and αGST (82±126 vs. 727±1382 μg/L, p<0.01) in patients undergoing laparotomy were increased compared to the control group. Between patients with and without MESI, differences were only found for iFABP 24 h after cardiac surgery (1.1±0.4 vs. 2.9±0.6 ng/mL, p=0.04) and up to 72 h before laparotomy (0.56±0.72 vs. 2.51±1.96 ng/mL, p=0.01).ConclusionsD-lactate and αGST were early markers for gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery. Before laparotomy, lowered iFABP levels indicated MESI. Routinely used, these markers can help identify patients with gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery early, and might be useful for the evaluation of new therapeutic or preventive strategies.
