Published: June 2018

Soil samples were collected from salt-affected soils (Solonetz) under different land uses, namely arable (SnA) and pasture (SnP), to investigate the effects of land use on microbiological [basal soil respiration (BSR), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), dehydrogenase activity (DHA) and phosphatase activity] and chemical properties [organic carbon (OC), humic ratio (E4/E6), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N), nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N), available forms of phosphorus (P2O5), potassium (K2O), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), sodium (Na+)] and on the moisture content.
The results showed that the two sites, SnA and SnP, were statistically different from each other for all the microbiological and chemical parameters investigated except Na+ and moisture content. Higher values of MBC (575.67 μg g-1), BSR (9.71 μg CO2 g-1 soil h-1), DHA (332.76 μg formazan g-1 day-1) and phosphatase activity (0.161 μmol PNP g-1 hr-1) were observed for the SnP soil. Great heterogeneity was found in SnP in terms of microbiological properties, whereas the SnA plots showed more homogeneous microbiological activity due to ploughing. 75.34% of variance was explained by principal component one (PC1), which significantly separated SnA and SnP, especially on the basis of soil MBC and P2O5. Moreover, it was concluded that the pasture land (SnP) was microbiologically more active than arable land (SnA) among the Hungarian salt-affected soils investigated.

The size of the arable land is constantly decreasing all over the world due to severe anthropogenic disorders. Plant production therefore has to be adapted to changing environmental conditions along with the proper selection of crop varieties and the application of sustainable environmental technologies which also consider economic aspects. The investigations were carried out in the Westsik long-term fertilization experiment near Nyíregyháza, East Hungary, which was set up in 1929 (89 years ago). Alternative forms of nutrient supplies (A) (green manure, straw with and without fermentation, organic fertilizer with and without inorganic fertilizer supplements) were used in different crop rotations. The test plant was potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and the soil type sand with a low humus content (Arenosols). A further long-term experiment is located on calcareous chernozem soil (Chernozems) in Debrecen (set up in 1983, 35 years ago). In one part of this experiment, organic farming (OF) has been carried out with a pea, winter wheat and maize crop rotation for over 15 years with no inorganic fertilization. In another block in this experiment, changes in soil properties as a result of the medium and high doses of fertilizers applied in intensive farming (I) were evaluated with a maize (Zea mays L.) monoculture as the test plant.
The results obtained with alternative nutrient supplies (green manure, fermented and unfermented straw, farmyard manure, fertilization) proved that the soil organic carbon content increased to varying degrees in humus-poor, acidic sand soil. The organic matter content of the soils increased in response to the treatments, contributing to a significant enhancement in soil microbial parameters (MBC, saccharase, dehydrogenase and phosphatase enzyme activities).
The carbon dioxide production and saccharase enzyme activity in organic plots (OF) were significantly lower than in intensively farmed (I) soils. At the same time, in the case of organic farming (OF) the microbial biomass carbon, phosphatase and dehydrogenase activity were significantly higher in OF plots than in I plots. Compared to the control soil, MBC was 7-8 times higher in organic plots and 1.3-3.8 times higher in intensive plots.
Organic farming on chernozem soil generally resulted in higher microbial activity (MBC, phosphatase, saccharase and dehydrogenase enzyme activity) than in either intensively farmed chernozem or in the case of alternative farming (A) on sandy soil.

The letter by Kraus et al. (2018) published recently in World Psychiatry presents diagnostic criteria for compulsive sexual behaviors (CSBs). Here, we discuss the potential impact of including CSB disorder in ICD-11 for four areas: educational efforts related to CSB (for both clinicians and patients), investigation of underlying mechanisms and subtypes, development of personalized treatment frameworks, and answering socially important questions and advancing important prevention efforts and effective policies. Each of these four areas has their own challenges that should be addressed, and we briefly describe and discuss them. We hope that this information will help continue a dialog and provide a framework for moving forward in this area.
Imagen impresa y ciudad, Buenos Aires (1890-1910)
Authors: Bonelli Zapata Ana 
Published: June 2018

Los últimos años del siglo XIX en Buenos Aires fueron testigos de importantes cambios en el campo de la gráfica, con la introducción de nuevas técnicas, circulación de objetos e imágenes impresas, así como en la percepción y experiencia de la ciudad misma. Las transformaciones del espacio, tanto público como privado, así como sus representaciones, dan cuenta de nuevas prácticas de sociabilidad, nuevos significados y la conformación de una nueva cultura visual en torno a la “metrópolis” y el “progreso”. El ferrocarril, como medio de transporte y tecnología, pero también como marca visible en el espacio, jugará también un rol en esos cambios, y su representación irá estrechamente vinculada con ellos. La imagen impresa, más allá de sus múltiples relaciones con el campo artístico, posee características propias en cuanto a sus modos de producción (más o menos artesanal, más o menos industriales), su materialidad (inserta en diversos soportes, múltiple, con mayor o menor vinculación a un discurso textual), así como las redes de circulación que implica. En este sentido, se propone pensar de cuáles modos particulares las imágenes impresas aparecidas en este contexto se relacionaron con la percepción y la experiencia del espacio, las nuevas tecnologías y el consumo urbano.

Use of a Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Following a Fracture-Dislocation with a Brachial Plexus Palsy
Authors: Kurowicki Jennifer , Triplet Jacob J. , Berglund Derek D. , Zink Thomas , Rosas Samuel , Levy Jonathan C. 
Published: June 2018

Case:
An 80-year-old woman sustained a fracture-dislocation of the proximal aspect of the humerus with a near-complete brachial plexopathy, which was successfully managed acutely using a reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with repair of the greater and lesser tuberosities. The palsy, which was confirmed with nerve conduction studies, recovered uneventfully along with functional improvement of the shoulder. At the most recent follow-up, there was complete resolution of the plexopathy, with excellent, pain-free range of motion.

Conclusion:
Acute RSA with tuberosity repair may be a reasonable treatment modality in the setting of an acute brachial plexus palsy following a comminuted fracture-dislocation of the proximal aspect of the humerus in an elderly patient.

Published: June 2018

Case:
A 22-year-old man sustained a laceration that measured 180 cm2, after debridement, over the anterolateral aspect of the right leg following a road traffic accident. The wound was treated with MyDerm (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia), a cell-based, bilayered, bioengineered dermal substitute that contains no animal-derived components and is fully autologous. For its construction, only a small area of skin was harvested from the left groin, which was closed primarily with absorbable sutures.

Conclusion:
MyDerm is an alternative option for the treatment of a massive skin defect in patients who desire removal of only a negligible amount of skin from the donor site and when use of an autograft is insufficient.
The Use of a Free Fibular Strut as a “Biological Intramedullary Nail” for the Treatment of Complex Nonunion of Long Bones
Authors: Yadav Surender Singh 
Published: June 2018

Background:
Nonunion of long-bone fractures is difficult to treat, especially when the bones are osteoporotic or there is a large bone gap as a result of repeated failure of the metallic nails or implants. In such cases, the use of an autologous intramedullary fibular strut graft may be a viable treatment option.

Methods:
Twenty-two patients with a complex nonunion of the shaft of the femur, humerus, or tibia were managed with a free autologous fibular strut graft for intramedullary fixation with use of closed or open methods. All patients had evidence of moderate to severe local osteoporosis and had a bone gap ranging from 4 to 20 mm. Nineteen patients had had 1 to 4 prior operations. The mean age was 51.5 years. The duration of nonunion ranged from 9 months to 4 years.

Results:
The mean time to union was 17 weeks (range, 8 to 26 weeks), and the mean duration of follow-up was 4 years (range, 6 months to 17 years). All but 2 patients had healing at the time of the latest follow-up.

Conclusions:
The identification of a viable option for the treatment of difficult nonunion in osteoporotic bones has been a challenge. The insertion of a free autologous intramedullary fibular strut graft provided mechanical stability, and osteogenesis occurred inside the medullary canal of the host bone.

Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
Nora Sarmoria - Compositrice de l’instant et arrangeuse de talent
Authors: Cance Caroline , Garcia Vanesa 
Published: June 2018

Nous proposons pour ce numéro un entretien avec Nora Sarmoria, musicienne argentine qui est née et vit à Buenos Aires, autour de sa pratique et sa conception de l’improvisation.
La discussion porte essentiellement sur ce qui constitue une caractéristique et un apport majeur de son travail, à savoir le dialogue qu’elle a initié et propose depuis 25 ans entre différentes traditions musicales : le jazz, l’improvisation et le folklore argentin.
Pionnière dans ce mélange riche et créatif, nous retraçons avec elle le parcours personnel qui l’a amenée à développer cette proposition originale ainsi que le contexte artistique, culturel et politique dans lequel cela a émergé. Elle nous parle notamment des liens entre son enfance et adolescence passée sous la dictature militaire et sa manière d’appréhender le folklore, censuré durant toute cette période et qui a connu ensuite une explosion et un renouveau. Est également abordée la question de la transmission, autre aspect fondamental du travail de Nora, qui a participé dès le début des années 90 en Argentine au développement d’écoles de musique populaire et qui a créé en 2007 l’Orquesta de Musica Sudamericana. Enfin on s’interroge avec elle sur la place des femmes dans le milieu de l’improvisation musicale.
Katyonik Polimer Katkılı Geosentetik Kil Örtülerin Farklı Tuz Çözeltileri ile Etkileşimi
Authors: ÖZHAN Hakkı Oral 
Published: June 2018

Geosentetik kil örtü (GKÖ), düşük hidrolik iletkenliği sayesinde atık
depolama alanlarında bariyer özelliği ile kullanılan bir kaplama malzemesidir.
Bu çalışmada, GKÖ’nün bentonit bileşenine sırasıyla kütlece %0.5, %1 ve %2
oranlarında katyonik polimer eklenmiş ve üç eksenli hidrolik iletkenlik ile
serbest şişme deneyleri yapılarak GKÖ’nün sırasıyla 0.1 M KCl, 0.5 M KCl ve 0.1
M MgCl2 tuz çözeltilerinde hidrolik performansı irdelenmiştir. Sonuç
olarak GKÖ’ye 0.1 M KCl çözeltisinde %0.5 katyonik polimer eklenmesi, hidrolik
iletkenliği yaklaşık 0.13 katına, 0.5 M KCl ile 0.1 M MgCl2
çözeltilerinde ise %1 katyonik polimer eklenmesi, hidrolik iletkenliği sırasıyla yaklaşık 0.18
ve 0.08 katına düşürerek gerekli hidrolik performansı sağlamıştır. GKÖ’ye daha
fazla polimer eklemek, hidrolik iletkenliği ya değiştirmemiş ya da artırmıştır.
GKÖ’nün şişme indeksi de %2 miktarına kadar katyonik polimer eklenmesi
sonucunda artmıştır. Katyonik polimerin hidrolik iletkenlik üzerindeki etkileri
polimer-bentonit-tuz çözeltisi arasındaki elektrostatik kuvvetler ile, şişme
indeksi üzerindeki etkileri ise difüz çift tabaka ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Tuz
çözeltilerinin konsantrasyonunu ve katyon değerliğini artırmak ise hidrolik
iletkenliği artırıp şişme indeksini azaltmıştır. Deney sonuçlarına göre
kullanılan katyonik polimer, GKÖ’nün hidrolik özelliklerini iyileştirerek tuz
çözeltilerinde yeterli hidrolik performansta kullanımını sağlamıştır.
Anaesthetic management of a patient with Alport syndrome and tracheobronchial leiomyomatosis
Authors: Ng Kasie Hiu Ying , Wong Jaclyn WM 
Published: June 2018

SummaryAlport syndrome is a rare inherited disorder which can manifest with haemorrhagic nephritis, ocular lesions, sensorineural deafness, as well as leiomyomatosis of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract. We describe a patient with Alport syndrome who underwent emergency surgery complicated by intra‐operative respiratory compromise caused by suspected tracheobronchial leiomyomatosis. We suggest that pre‐operative computer tomography or bronchoscopy should be considered in such patients in order to evaluate the extent of disease involvement and to aid the anaesthetic management plan.

Este artículo presenta una revisión de la literatura académica del concepto y las prácticas de educación expandida en donde se sintetiza la idea de educación expandida según la literatura, se presentan ejemplos de prácticas según la revisión realizada y se señalan las conclusiones derivadas de este recorrido y las limitaciones de este trabajo.
Hippocampal Mean Diffusivity for the Diagnosis of Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Primary Care
Authors: Brueggen Katharina , Dyrba Martin , Kilimann Ingo , Henf Judith , Hoffmann Wolfgang , Thyrian Jochen R. , Teipel Stefan 
Published: June 2018

Background:
Hippocampal mean diffusivity (MD) measured by Diffusion-Tensor Imaging is
a promising diagnostic marker for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia. Its performance has
yet to be evaluated in primary care patients, who vary systematically from patients visiting specialized
care settings.

Objective:
We assessed the diagnostic accuracy of hippocampus diffusivity for detecting MCI and dementia
in a sample recruited from primary care, compared to a sample from specialized care.

Method:
One sample was recruited from a primary care intervention trial (DelpHi-MV) (n=70), and the
other sample was recruited from our memory clinic (n=70). The samples were matched pairwise for diagnosis,
MMSE, age, gender, and education. They included dementia patients, MCI patients and healthy
subjects. Mean MD was calculated for the left and right hippocampus, corrected for partial volume effects.
Within each sample, left or right hippocampal MD served as predictor for diagnostic group in logistic
regressions, which were additionally controlled for white matter lesions.

Results:
In the primary care sample, hippocampal MD detected dementia with high cross-validated accuracy
(left: AUC=.92; right: AUC=.85), but did not classify MCI with an accuracy above chance (left:
AUC=.58; right: AUC=.44). In the memory clinic sample, hippocampal MD classified both dementia
(left: AUC=.91; right: AUC=.91) and MCI (left: AUC=.86; right: AUC=.83) with high cross-validated
accuracy.

Conclusion:
Hippocampal MD supported the identification of dementia but did not contribute to the
detection of MCI in the primary care patient population.
Investigating Information Needs of Saudi Diabetic Patients
Authors: Manarvi Irfan A. , Matta Nader M. 
Published: June 2018

Background: Studies have shown that newly diagnosed diabetic patients need a lot of information
about medical examinations, checkups, tests and precautions for its control besides its disastrous
effects on heart, kidneys, eyes, foot and nerves. Patients in Saudi Arabia are generally not aware
of most of the information they may need which is one the major reasons for its increasing number of
patients. Past studies conducted are based on clinical data of hospitals and healthcare centers only discussed
its effects.

Methods:
Present research was conducted through a survey questionnaire in the Arabic language from
Type 1 and Type 2 patients to establish if they knew about this disease and its criticality in the day to
day activities and were they being provided sufficient information about its requirements. Data for
checkups, tests, management by food and nutrition and physical activity education were collected for
this purpose. Approximately 25% female and 33% male patients reported that diabetes affected their
day to day activities.

Results:
Analysis of results showed that awareness of importance of tests including blood glucose
level test HbA1c was only among 50% patients, 51% Type 1 did not have cholesterol test, 31% Type 1
and 16% Type 2 % never had eye test, 97% Type 1 and 60% Type 2 were unaware of barefoot examination,
34% Type 1 and 70% Type 2 never went to a dietician to ascertain their nutrition needs, 24%
Type 2 did not know importance of exercise for diabetes control.

Conclusion:
It was concluded that Saudi patients suffering from diabetes seriously lacked information
about its monitoring, control and treatment in form of tests to be conducted and requirements of diet
control and physical activities. Therefore, a national level awareness campaign for providing this information
could be considered as a key requirement.
UNIVERSAL EXTRA DIMENSIONS AND SUPERSYMMETRY AT THE HL/HE-LARGE HADRON COLLIDER
Authors: KARABACAK Durmuş 
Published: June 2018

Universal Extra Dimensional (UED) and Supersymmetric (SUSY) models show very similar signals at hadron colliders. In the minimal UED (mUED) where the mass spectrum is compressed, the production of level-1 KK quarks and/or gluons produce multi-jet and/or multi-lepton + missing transverse momenta final state as in the case of SUSY models with R-parity conservation and compressed mass spectrum. Moreover, this similarity can possibly be carried over to non-degenerate mass spectra in next-to-minimal UED (nmUED) model that is the extension of the mUED model with fermion bulk mass term μ and brane localized kinetic terms r, hence, completing the faking in both models. In this regard, we simulated the production of colored level-1 KK particles and their decays resulting in multi-jet + missing transverse momenta signals in both models at 14 TeV LHC and showed that the similarity of both models is indeed the case even with non-compressed mass spectra

Diagnostic approach to light-chain cardiac amyloidosis and its differential diagnosis
Authors: Adamska Monika , Komosa Anna , Mularek Tatiana , Rupa-Matysek Joanna , Gil Lidia 
Published: June 2018

AbstractCardiac amyloidosis is a rare and often-misdiagnosed disorder. Among other forms of deposits affecting the heart, immunoglobulin-derived light-chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis) is the most serious form of the disease. Delay in diagnosis and treatment may have a major impact on the prognosis and outcomes of patients. This review focuses on the presentation of the disorder and current novel approaches to the diagnosis of cardiac involvement in AL amyloidosis.
False-negative coagulation factor activity results due to the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in a case of autoimmune hemolytic anemia

Published: June 2018

AbstractAn 88-year-old female was admitted with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). Coagulation test revealed severe prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). APTT cross-mixing test with patient plasma and normal plasma demonstrated an inhibitory pattern. Several intrinsic coagulation factor activities, particularly factor IX, showed remarkable decreases, and the inhibitor titers for coagulation factors VIII and IX were elevated. Although AIHA with existing antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies was diagnosed initially, purpura developed on extremities intermittently during the clinical course. Considering the possibility of coexisting acquired hemophilia, APTT cross-mixing test with patient’s plasma and equal amount of the recombinant factor VIII product instead of normal plasma was performed. The APTT value on equal mixing samples with patient plasma and recombinant factor VIII product was decreased to within the normal range, and coagulation factor IX activity was restored. These results indicate that the recombinant factor VIII product had a neutralizing effect on aPL antibodies. We concluded that recombinant factor VIII product may lead to the repair of incorrect results from the APTT-dependent diagnostic system in the presence of aPL antibodies.
