Christianity: “A Manner of Dividing the Sensible”
Authors: Gow Andrew 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Anidjar’s Blood can be read, with Amy Hollywood, as a political intervention designed to alienate and creatively reuse the familiar terms ‘blood’ and ‘Christianity’ to mean quite different things, namely a set of biologically, emotionally, and politically charged metaphors circulating within and fuelling a hegemonic cultural world system. While this is a clear possible reading throughout, Anidjar provides an explicit key to justify these meanings only on page 258, allowing that he has used each term as ‘catachresis’— to command our attention but also to redirect it. Contrary to Francis Landy’s wish that Andijar provide an accounting of how (actual) blood in (actual) Christian tradition relates to blood in Judaism, I suggest that Anidjar’s project requires nothing of the sort, working as it does at an entire level of abstraction above the plane of paratactically organized and comparable ‘religions’.
Effect of a rehabilitation program on performance-related musculoskeletal disorders in student and professional orchestral musicians: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Roos Marianne , Roy Jean-Sébastien 
Published: June 2018

Objective: To explore the feasibility of a rehabilitation program and its effect on the performance-related musculoskeletal symptoms and functional limitations of orchestral musicians. Design: Single-blind pilot randomized controlled trial with exercise group and control group. Setting: Workplace of professional symphony orchestra and tertiary-level conservatory orchestral musicians. Participants: Professional and student orchestral musicians with or without performance-related musculoskeletal disorders. Interventions: A rehabilitation program including an educational presentation, an 11-week home exercise program and three supervised exercise sessions, versus no intervention. Measures: Feasibility measures included adherence and drop-out rate. The Musculoskeletal Pain Intensity and Interference Questionnaire for professional orchestra Musicians (MPIIQM) measured symptom intensity and functional limitations, while the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) measured symptom prevalence and frequency. Results: A total of 30 participants were recruited ( n = 15 per group). Exercise group adherence was 97.7% for the supervised sessions and 89% for the home exercise program. There were no drop-outs. Significant group-time interactions were obtained for both the pain intensity (partial η2 = 0.166; P = 0.025) and pain interference (partial η2 = 0.186; P = 0.017) sections of the MPIIQM. Mean (standard deviation) pain intensity score changes from baseline to 11 weeks were control group: 0.40 (5.04); P = 0.763; partial η2 = 0.007; and exercise group: –4.07 (5.31); P = 0.010; partial η2 = 0.386. For pain interference, mean score changes were control group: 0.20 (9.10); P = 0.933; partial η2 = 0.001; and exercise group: –9.00 (10.73); P = 0.006; partial η2 = 0.430. NMQ analyses revealed no significant interaction ( P > 0.05). Conclusion: Results suggest that the studied program is feasible and effective in decreasing the intensity and functional impact of musicians’ symptoms. However, no significant medium-term effect on the prevalence and frequency of symptoms was shown.
Areca nut trade, globalisation and its health impact: perspectives from India and South-east Asia
Authors: Arora Shelly , Squier Christopher 
Published: June 2018

Aim: Areca nut (AN) is consumed globally by 600 million people, and 10%–20% of the world population uses betel quid, a preparation containing areca nut. India and other South-east Asian countries are the largest consumers of AN in the world. The aim of this article is to review the economic impact and oral health effects of the consumption of AN. It will also discuss the role of dentists and auxiliary healthcare providers for increasing public awareness and the need for a strong public health policy. Method: To address the concerned area, PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases were explored from the year 1965 until 2017. Studies focusing on various aspects of AN only, and articles published in English were included. Anecdotal reports, case reports and unpublished data were excluded. Results and discussion: This narrative review suggests India is the world’s largest producer of AN along with the largest AN consuming population followed by other South-east Asian countries. AN chewing causes oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) and it is most commonly observed in people of India and South-east Asia. AN use is associated with various social and unsocial aspects. Dentists and dental auxiliaries can increase the knowledge and awareness of a health issue (OSF) among the target audience as well as the detrimental effects of AN chewing. Conclusion: There is a need for more aggressive public health measures and dentists and dental auxiliaries should be employed to bring awareness to the general public regarding AN use.

Published: June 2018

Background: Oral cancer is a major public health problem in many parts of South Asia and ranking third among the cancer types in India. Numerous diagnostic, prognostic and metastatic biomarkers have been employed till date to assess various carcinomas. Stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase (SCD) is one such recently introduced biomarker that regulates key cell cycle events in normal cells and during carcinogenesis in neoplastic cells. Although SCD has been used to analyze the prognosis of breast and renal cell carcinomas, its role in oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unexplored. Therefore, there is a need to analyze the role of SCD in OED and OSCC to predict their biologic behaviour. Objectives: To assess the expression levels of SCD in OED and OSCC samples and correlate them with normal oral mucosa (NOM) to determine their prognostic potential. Methodology: Fifty five tissue samples of OED (20), OSCC (20) and NOM (15) was subjected to immunohistochemistry using SCD. Clinical details and follow-up data (3 years) were recorded. Clinical and histopathological parameters were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate analyses, Kruskal–Wallis analysis of variance test and Mann–Whitney U tests. Results: Descriptive analysis on OED and NOM showed a statistically significant difference in age between OED and NOM ( p = 0.002). Univariate analysis of OSCC cases by log-rank test revealed significant results in the usage of smoked and smokeless tobacco and clinical staging of OSCC ( p = 0.044). Significantly increased SCD expression was identified with poor survival rate ( p = 0.028). However, multivariate analysis of OSCC was statistically insignificant ( p = 1.00). A significantly increased SCD expression was observed in OED and OSCC when compared to NOM ( p = 0.001). The expression of SCD was significantly high in OSCC when compared to OED ( p = 0.029). Although an increased expression of SCD was appreciated in higher grades of OED and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, a statistical significance was not achieved ( p = 0.546 and 0.388, respectively). Conclusion: The expression of SCD in OED was higher than NOM suggesting changes in cell cycle control in OED. An enhanced expression of SCD was identified in OSCC when compared to OED. Correlating the SCD expression with survival rate in OSCC patients revealed an increased SCD expression with diminished survival rate, indicating that SCD may be used to predict prognosis. However, the role of SCD in assessing the prognostic potential within the grades of OED and OSCC requires future research.
A needle in a haystack: Endoscopic removal of a foreign body from the infratemporal fossa
Authors: Ioanidis Khrystyna , Rotenberg Brian 
Published: June 2018

Background This report presented the case of a difficult-to-remove needle foreign body. The patient had a dental procedure in which a 30-gauge needle was lost in the gingival buccal sulcus. Several attempts at removal were unsuccessful. The patient presented to the otolaryngology clinic with trismus, pain with mastication, intermittent right otalgia, and numbness of the right cheek. Methods The needle was finally localized in the infratemporal fossa and removed by using image guidance technology. Results This case demonstrated an approach to a difficult-to-locate foreign body removal and the importance of intraoperative imaging in foreign body localization. Conclusion Foreign bodies of the infratemporal fossa and posterior orbit are better removed via endoscopic than open technique.

Published: June 2018

Purpose: Objective and reliable force measurement is necessary to monitor the rehabilitation after triceps brachii pathology, injuries, and posterior approach–based surgery. It is unclear at which amount of extension the triceps is best tested and if comparison to the uninjured sided is reliable. This study aims to identify the most reliable elbow position at which elbow extension force is measured using a dynamometer. Furthermore, it aims to compare the extension strength of the dominant arm with that of the nondominant arm. Methods: Isometric elbow extension force of the dominant and nondominant arms of healthy subjects was measured. The measurements were taken in three sequences per arm in 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 degrees of flexion. A subgroup repeated the measurements to analyze test–retest reliability using intraclass correlation. Results: We included a total of 176 volunteers. The repeated measures analysis of variance for within-subject effect showed the lowest variation coefficient at 30 degrees of flexion. Extension forces showed a mean difference of 3.2–6.9 N in advantage of the dominant arm, resulting in ratios from 1.05 to 1.09. Learning curve analysis showed that during the first session in dominant and nondominant arms, less forces were exerted. Conclusion: The most reliable isometric triceps brachii muscle strength measurement was at 30 degrees of flexion of the elbow. Considering the learning curve, a first tryout session for both arms is indicated. Then, a second measurement suffices as no further learning curve is observed.
Planning Human Factors Engineering for Development of Implantable Medical Devices
Authors: Jensen Maria Lund , Coates Jayme 
Published: June 2018

Development of implantable medical devices is becoming increasingly interesting for manufacturers, but identifying the right Human Factors Engineering (HFE) approach to ensure safe use and effectiveness is challenging. Most active implantable devices are highly complex; they are built on extremely advanced, compact technology, often comprise systems of several device elements and accessories, and they span various types of user interfaces which must facilitate diverse interaction performed by several different user groups throughout the lifetime of the device. Furthermore, since treatment with implantable devices is often vital and by definition involves surgical procedures, potential risks related to use error can be severe. A systematic mapping of Product System Elements and Life Cycle Stages can help early identification of Use Cases, and for example user groups and high-level use risks, to be accounted for via HFE throughout development to optimize Human Factors processes and patient outcomes. This paper presents a concrete matrix tool which can facilitate an early systematic approach to planning and frontloading of Human Factors Engineering activities in complex medical device development.
Brandãoite, [BeAl2(PO4)2(OH)2(H2O)4](H2O), a new Be–Al phosphate mineral from the João Firmino mine, Pomarolli farm region, Divino das Laranjeiras County, Minas Gerais State, Brazil: description and crystal structure

AbstractBrandãoite, [BeAl2(PO4)2(OH)2(H2O)4](H2O), is a new Be–Al phosphate mineral from the João Firmino mine, Pomarolli farm region, Divino das Laranjeiras County, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, where it occurs in an albite pocket with other secondary phosphates, including beryllonite, atencioite and zanazziite, in a granitic pegmatite. It occurs as colourless acicular crystals &lt;10 µm wide and &lt;100 µm long that form compact radiating spherical aggregates up to 1.0–1.5 mm across. It is colourless and transparent in single crystals and white in aggregates, has a white streak and a vitreous lustre, is brittle and has conchoidal fracture. Mohs hardness is 6, and the calculated density is 2.353 g/cm3. Brandãoite is biaxial (+), α = 1.544, β = 1.552 and γ = 1.568, all ± 0.002; 2Vobs = 69.7(10)° and 2Vcalc = 71.2°. No pleochroism was observed. Brandãoite is triclinic, space group P$\bar{1}$, a = 6.100(4), b = 8.616(4), c = 10.261(5) Å, α = 93.191(11), β = 95.120(11), γ = 96.863(11)°, V = 532.1(8) Å3 and Z = 2. Chemical analysis of a 4 µm wide needle-shaped crystal by electron microprobe and secondary-ion mass spectrometry gave P2O5 = 28.42, Al2O3 = 20.15, BeO = 4.85, H2O = 21.47 and sum = 74.89 wt.%. The empirical formula, normalised on the basis of 15 anions pfu with (OH) = 2 and (H2O) = 5 apfu (from the crystal structure) is Be0.98Al1.99P2.02H12O15. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined to an R1 index of 7.0%. There are two P sites occupied by P5+, two Al sites occupied by octahedrally coordinated Al3+, and one Be site occupied by tetrahedrally coordinated Be2+. There are fifteen anions, two of which are (OH) groups and five of which are (H2O) groups. The simplified ideal formula is thus [BeAl2(PO4)2(OH)2(H2O)4](H2O) with Z = 2. Beryllium and P tetrahedra share corners to form a four-membered ring. Aluminium octahedra share a common vertex to form an [Al2φ11] dimer, and these dimers are cross-linked by P tetrahedra to form a complex slab of polyhedra parallel to (001). These slabs are cross-linked by BeO2(OH)(H2O) tetrahedra, with interstitial (H2O) groups in channels that extend along [100].

Ambiguity Preferences and Portfolio Choices: Evidence from the Field
Authors: Bianchi Milo , Tallon Jean-Marc 
Published: June 2018

We match administrative panel data on portfolio choices with survey data on preferences over ambiguity. We show that ambiguity averse investors bear more risk, due to a lack of diversification. In particular, they exhibit a form of home bias that leads to higher exposure to the domestic relative to the international stock market. While more sensitive to market factors, their returns are on average higher, suggesting that ambiguity averse investors need not be driven out of the market for risky assets. We also show that these investors rebalance their portfolio more actively and in a contrarian direction relative to past market trends, which allows them to keep their risk exposure relatively constant over time. We discuss these findings in relation to the theoretical literature on portfolio choice under ambiguity. The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2017.3006 .

Modeling Municipal Yields With (and Without) Bond Insurance
Authors: Chun Albert Lee , Namvar Ethan , Ye Xiaoxia , Yu Fan 
Published: June 2018

We develop an intensity-based model of municipal yields, making simultaneous use of the credit default swap premiums of the insurers and both insured and uninsured municipal bond transactions. We estimate the model individually for 61 municipal issuers by exploiting the dramatic decline in credit quality of the bond insurers from July 2007 to June 2008, and decompose the municipal yield spread based on the estimated parameters. The decomposition reveals a dominant role of the liquidity component as well as interactions between liquidity and default similar to those modeled by Chen et al. [Chen H, Cui R, He Z, Milbradt K (2018) Quantifying liquidity and default risks of corporate bonds over the business cycle. Rev. Financial Stud. 31(3):852–897.] for corporate bonds. Toward the end of the sample period, our model also reproduces the “yield inversion” phenomenon documented in the literature. This paper was accepted by Neng Wang, finance.
An Experimental Test of the Anscombe–Aumann Monotonicity Axiom
Authors: Schneider Florian H. , Schonger Martin 
Published: June 2018

Most models of ambiguity aversion satisfy the Anscombe–Aumann monotonicity axiom. Monotonicity implies a weak form of separability of preferences across events that occur with unknown probability. We construct a test of weak separability by modifying the Allais paradox, adapting it to the Anscombe–Aumann framework. Three experimental studies are conducted. Study 1 finds frequent, systematic violations of weak separability in the lab. These findings replicate in study 2, where we employ a subject pool of online workers and use a natural rather than an artificial source of uncertainty. Investigating a potential explanation of the violations, study 3 suggests that the certainty effect plays a major role.

AimsThe Edinburgh Trauma Triage Clinic (TTC) streamlines outpatient care through consultant-led ‘virtual’ triage of referrals and the direct discharge of minor fractures from the Emergency Department. We compared the patient outcomes for simple fractures of the radial head, little finger metacarpal, and fifth metatarsal before and after the implementation of the TTC.Patients and MethodsA total of 628 patients who had sustained these injuries over a one-year period were identified. There were 337 patients in the pre-TTC group and 289 in the post-TTC group. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score (QuickDASH) or Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI), EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D), visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, satisfaction rates, and return to work/sport were assessed six months post-injury. The development of late complications was excluded by an electronic record evaluation at three years post-injury. A cost analysis was performed.ResultsOutcomes were as good or better post-TTC, compared with pre-TTC scores. At three years, the pre-TTC group required a total of 496 fracture clinic appointments compared with 61 in the post-TTC group. Mean cost per patient was nearly fourfold less after the commencement of the TTC.ConclusionManagement of minor fractures through the Edinburgh TTC results in clinical outcomes that are comparable with the previous system of routine face-to-face consultation. Outpatient workload for these injures was reduced by 88%. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2018;100-B:959–65.
Risk factors for increased sagittal pelvic motion causing unfavourable orientation of the acetabular component in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty
Authors: Langston J. , Pierrepont J. , Gu Y. , Shimmin A. 
Published: June 2018

Aims It is important to consider sagittal pelvic rotation when introducing the acetabular component at total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to identify patients who are at risk of unfavourable pelvic mobility, which could result in poor outcomes after THA. Patients and Methods A consecutive series of 4042 patients undergoing THA had lateral functional radiographs and a low-dose CT scan to measure supine pelvic tilt, pelvic incidence, standing pelvic tilt, flexed-seated pelvic tilt, standing lumbar lordotic angle, flexed-seated lumbar lordotic angle, and lumbar flexion. Changes in pelvic tilt from supine-to-standing positions and supine-to-flexed-seated positions were determined. A change in pelvic tilt of 13° between positions was deemed unfavourable as it alters functional anteversion by 10° and effectively places the acetabular component outside the safe zone of orientation. Results For both men and women, the degree of lumbar flexion was a significant predictor of risk in hip flexion (p < 0.0001) with increased odds of unfavourable pelvic mobility in those with lumbar flexion of < 20° (men, odds ratio (OR) 6.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.83 to 11.89; women, OR 2.97, 95% CI 1.87 to 4.71). In women, age and standing pelvic tilt were significant predictors of risk in hip extension (p = 0.0082 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The risk of unfavourable pelvic mobility was higher in those aged > 75 years (OR 2.28, 95% CI 1.56 to 3.32) and those with standing pelvic tilt of < -10° for extension risk (OR 7.10, 95% CI 4.10 to 10.29). In men, only standing pelvic tilt was significant (p < 0.0001) for hip extension with an increased risk of unfavourable pelvic mobility (OR 8.68, 95% CI 5.19 to 14.51). Conclusion Patients found to have unfavourable pelvic mobility had limited lumbar flexion and more posterior standing pelvic tilt in both men and women, as well as increasing age in women. We recommend that patients undergo preoperative functional radiographic screening to determine specific parameters that can affect the functional orientation of the acetabular component.
