Aims The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of intravenous tranexamic acid on the reduction of blood loss, transfusion rate, and early post-operative clinical outcome in total shoulder arthroplasty. Patients and Methods A randomised, placebo-controlled trial which included 54 patients undergoing unilateral primary stemless anatomical or stemmed reverse total shoulder arthroplasty was undertaken. Patients received either 100 ml saline (placebo, n = 27), or 100 ml saline together with 1000 mg of tranexamic acid (TXA, n = 27) intravenously prior to skin incision and during wound closure. Peri-operative blood loss via an intra-articular drain was recorded and total blood loss was calculated. The post-operative transfusion rate was documented. Assessment of early clinical parameters included the visual analogue scale for pain (VAS), documentation of haematoma formation and adverse events. Results Mean peri-operative blood drainage (placebo: 170 ml versus TXA: 50 ml, p = 0.001) and calculated mean total blood loss (placebo: 1248.2 ml versus TXA: 871.0 ml, p = 0.009) were significantly lower in the TXA group. No transfusions were necessary during the study period in either group. Mean VAS for pain significantly decreased from pre-operative (VAS 7) to the early post-operative period (VAS 1.7, p < 0.001). Significant differences regarding mean post-operative pain between placebo (VAS 2.0) and TXA (VAS 1.3) were detected (p = 0.05). The occurrence of haematomas was significantly more frequent in the placebo (59.3%, n = 16) than in the TXA group (25.9%, n = 6, p = 0.027). Whereas only mild haematomas developed in the TXA group, in the placebo group a total of 22.2% (n = 6) developed either moderate or severe haematomas. No adverse events associated with administration of TXA occurred. Conclusion Intravenous administration of TXA successfully reduced mean peri-operative blood drainage, total estimated blood loss, pain during the first post-operative days, and haematoma formation in total shoulder arthroplasty.

Aims Little is known about employment following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aims to identify factors which predict return to work following TKA in patients of working age in the United Kingdom. Patients & Methods We prospectively assessed 289 patients (289 TKAs) aged ≤ 65 years who underwent TKA between 2010 and 2013. There were 148 women. The following were recorded pre-operatively: age, gender, body mass index, social deprivation, comorbidities, indication for surgery, work status and nature of employment, activity level as assessed by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score and Oxford Knee Score (OKS). The intention of patients to return to work or to retire was not assessed pre-operatively. At a mean of 3.4 years (2 to 4) post-operatively, the return to work status, OKS, the EuroQol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D) score, UCLA activity score and Work, Osteoarthritis and joint-Replacement (WORQ) score were obtained. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results Of 261 patients (90%) who were working before TKA, 105 (40%) returned to any job, including 89 (34%) who returned to the same job at a mean of 13.5 weeks (2 to 104) post-operatively. A total of 108 (41%) retired following TKA and 18 remained on welfare. Patients not working before the operation did not return to work. Median UCLA scores improved in 125 patients (58%) from 4 (mild activity) to 6 (moderate activity) (p < 0.001). Significant (p < 0.05) factors which were predictive of return to any work included age, heavy or moderate manual work, better post-operative UCLA, OKS and EQ-5D general health scores. Significant predictive factors of return to the same work included age, heavy or moderate manual work and post-operative OKS. Multivariate analysis confirmed heavy or moderate manual work and age to independently predict a return to either any or the same work. All patients aged < 50 years who were working pre-operatively returned to any work as did 60% of those aged between 50 and 54 years, 50% of those aged between 55 and 59 years and 24% those aged between 60 and 65 years. Conclusion If working pre-operatively, patients aged < 50 years invariably returned to work following TKA, but only half of those aged between 50 to 60 years returned. High post-operative activity levels and patient reported outcome measures do not predict return to work following TKA. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B:1037–46.

Published: August 2017

Objectives Osteoporosis has become an increasing concern for older people as it may potentially lead to osteoporotic fractures. This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of ten therapies for post-menopausal women using network meta-analysis. Methods We conducted a systematic search in several databases, including PubMed and Embase. A random-effects model was employed and results were assessed by the odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Furthermore, with respect to each outcome, each intervention was ranked according to the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) value. Results With respect to preventing new vertebral fractures (NVF), all ten drugs outperformed placebo, and etidronate proved to be the most effective treatment (OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.39). In addition, zoledronic acid and parathyroid hormone ranked higher compared with the other drugs. With respect to preventing clinical vertebral fractures (CVF), zoledronic acid proved to be the most effective drug (OR = 0.25, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.92), with denosumab as a desirable second option (OR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.96), when both were compared with placebo. As for adverse events (AE) and severe adverse events (SAE), no significant difference was observed. According to SUCRA, etidronate ranked first in preventing CVF; parathyroid hormone and zoledronic acid ranked highly in preventing NVF and CVF. Raloxifene was safe with a high rank in preventing AEs and SAEs though performed unsatisfactorily in efficacy. Conclusions This study suggests that, taking efficacy and safety into account, parathyroid hormone and zoledronic acid had the highest probability of satisfactory performance in preventing osteoporotic fractures.

Published: August 2017

Objectives Inflammation of the retrocalcaneal bursa (RB) is a common clinical problem, particularly in professional athletes. RB inflammation is often treated with corticosteroid injections however a number of reports suggest an increased risk of Achilles tendon (AT) rupture. The aim of this cadaveric study was to describe the anatomical connections of the RB and to investigate whether it is possible for fluid to move from the RB into AT tissue. Methods A total of 20 fresh-frozen AT specimens were used. In ten specimens, ink was injected into the RB. The remaining ten specimens were split into two groups to be injected with radiological contrast medium into the RB either with or without ultrasonography guidance (USG). Results In specimens injected with ink, diffusion outside the RB was observed with staining of the anterior portion of the AT. In eight contrast-injected specimens (five USG, three non-USG), a similar localised diffusion pattern was observed, with the contrast identified superiorly and anteriorly. In two contrast-injected specimens (non-USG), the diffusion pattern was more extensive. Conclusion This study confirmed the existence of connections between the RB and the AT, especially rich in the anteroinferior portion of the tendon, which should be considered a weak zone for substances injected into the RB. We hypothesise that this part of the AT might be most vulnerable to rupture after corticosteroid injections. Cite this article: P. A. Pękala, B. M. Henry, J. R. Pękala, K. Piska, K. A. Tomaszewski.

‘On-track’ and ‘off-track’ shoulder lesions
Authors: Itoi E. 
Published: August 2017

Shoulder stability depends on the position of the arm as well as activities of the muscles around the shoulder. The capsulo-ligamentous structures are the main stabilisers with the arm at the end-range of movement, whereas negative intra-articular pressure and concavity-compression effect are the main stabilisers with the arm in the mid-range of movement. There are two types of glenoid bone loss: fragment type and erosion type. A bone loss of the humeral head, known as a Hill-Sachs lesion (HSL), is a compression fracture of the humeral head caused by the anterior rim of the glenoid when the humeral head is dislocated anteriorly in front of the glenoid. Four out of five patients with anterior instability have both Hill-Sachs and glenoid bone lesions, which is called a ‘bipolar lesion’. With the arm moving along the posterior end-range of movement, or with the arm in various degrees of abduction, maximum external rotation and maximum horizontal extension, the glenoid moves along the posterior articular margin of the humeral head. This contact zone of the glenoid with the humeral head is called the ‘glenoid track’. A HSL, which stays on the glenoid track (on-track lesion), cannot engage with the glenoid and cannot cause dislocation. On the other hand, a HSL, which is out of the glenoid track (off-track lesion), has a risk of engagement and dislocation. Clinical validation studies show that the ‘on-track/off-track’ concept is able to predict reliably the risk of a HSL being engaged with the glenoid. For off-track lesions, either remplissage or Latarjet procedure is indicated, depending upon the glenoid defect size and the risk of recurrence.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2017;2:343-351.
You should become uptight: The nexus of the body and technology in the poetry of John Giorno
Authors: Jones II Robert W. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Performance poet John Giorno began writing after he met William Burroughs and Brion Gysin in the mid-1960s. As such, the ideas pioneered by these two authors manifest directly in much of Giorno’s work. Giorno’s poem Suicide Sutra (print 1973 and two audio versions 1974 and 1975) brings together elements of the postwar American avant-garde in a text that focuses the reader’s attention on the body in ways that would reveal the transcendent ideals of somatic consciousness. This article explores the ways this poem transforms from a written text into one that more directly connects with the audience via the use of early vocal manipulation and tape looping technologies. In addition, this article will investigate how Giorno’s embrace of early synthesizer technology produced texts that envelope the reader and exploit the fissures in the body–mind continuum to connect with the audience.
Performance comparison of consensus protocol and l-&phi approach for formation control of multiple nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots
Authors: Alouache Ali , Wu Qinghe 
Published: August 2017

This paper investigates formation control of multiple nonholonomic differential drive wheeled mobile robots (WMRs). Assume the communication between the mobile robots is possible where the leader mobile robot can share its state values to the follower mobile robots using the leader-follower notion. Two approaches are discussed for controlling a formation of nonholonomic WMRs. The first approach is consensus tracking based on graph theory concept, where the linear and angular velocity input of each follower are formulated using first order consensus protocol, such that the heading angle and velocity of the followers are synchronized to the corresponding values of the leader mobile robot. The second is l-φ approach (distance angle) that is developed based on Lyapunov analysis, where the linear and angular velocity inputs of each follower mobile robot are adjusted such that the followers keep a desired separation distance and deviation angle with respect to the leader robot, and the overall system is asymptotically stable.The aim of this paper is to compare the performances of the presented methods for controlling a formation of wheeled mobile robots with matlab simulations.

Las grandes transformaciones producidas en la década de 1990 por la implantación de la Ley Federal de Educación, la transferencia de las escuelas a las provincias y las metamorfosis en los contenidos curriculares ocasionados por el remplazo de la vieja secundaria de cinco años por un Polimodal de dos años, indujo a respuestas originales de los docentes para salvar la crisis. En Open Door (provincia de Buenos Aires) un profesor impedido de dictar historia, encontró un atajo para de todas formas seguir haciéndolo, de paso dando vida con sus alumnos a una experiencia de enorme originalidad y alcance. Nació así el Museo y Archivo de la Colonia Nacional de Alienados, de cuyo potencial darían cuenta investigadores científicos y universitarios. El presente artículo revisa su historia, los usos que los investigadores le han dado hasta ahora y algunos problemas, incluyendo los de articulación pedagógica que estuvieron en su origen, que se le pueden presentar al Museo y Archivo a futuro.
HAK DAN KEWAJIBAN SUAMI ISTRI PADA KELUARGA TKI DI DESA TRESNOREJO, KEBUMEN, JAWA TENGAH: ANTARA YURIDIS DAN REALITA

The phenomenon of husband or wife working as Indonesian Labor (TKI) is not a new among people of Tresnorejo village, Kebumen, Jawa Tengah. The reason they work as TKI is to improve the welfare of households, because Tresnorejo’s villager income still low. Their job they rely on is making a caping - Asian conical hat made of plaited bamboo. In Islamic law, the husband requires to give his wife and family needs, like clothing, food and house. Wife is not forbidden to work in order to help her husband earning a living for the family. On the basis of voluntary work of his wife, the work considered charity for the husband . The implementation of the rights and obligations between husband and wife in the family did not violate Islamic law, because of the balance between madārat and maslahah, but it could also result in a negative on the family. Islamic law does not forbid, his wife helped work to earn a living for the family. On the basis of voluntary work with his wife, then considered the husband wife charity. Implementation of the fulfillment of the rights and obligations of husband and wife in the family did not violate Islamic law, TKI, as between mad}ārat and mas}lah}ah it is balanced, but it could also result in a negative impact on the family.[Fenomena suami atau istri bekerja sebagai TKI bukanlah fenomena baru bagi masyarakat Desa Tresnorejo. Faktor yang mendorong suami atau istri bekerja sebagai TKI adalah ingin meningkatkan kesejahteraan rumah tangga. Hal ini disebabkan oleh penghasilan warga Desa Tresnorejo yang masih kurang (hanya mengandalkan hasil dari pertanian dan usaha membuat tudung—caping yang terbuat dari anyaman bambu). Hukum Islam mewajibkan suami untuk menafkahi istri dan keluarganya; mulai dari sandang, pangan sampai papan. Hukum Islam tidak melarang, istrinya membantu bekerja mencari nafkah untuk keluarga. Atas dasar istrinya bekerja dengan sukarela, maka dianggap sedekah istri kepada suami. Pelaksanaan pemenuhan hak dan kewajiban suami istri pada keluarga TKI tidak melanggar hukum Islam, karena antara mad}ārat dan māslah}ah itu seimbang, namun hal tersebut juga bisa mengakibatkan dampak negatif pada keluarga.]
AYAT-AYAT TENTANG RELASI LAKI-LAKI DAN PEREMPUAN DALAM AL-QUR’AN: Analisis Struktural Levi-Strauss
Authors: Faizah Nur 
Published: August 2017

Religion is a social institution, especially for the Muslim community in general, determine the dynamics of the entire development community. In many cases the social processes that marginalizing women, intentionally or not, often involving religion as elements forming knowledge about relationships between men and women are unequal, and often used as a source of theological legitimacy of the above indisputable fact that marginalize women. During this time, the field of study of the Qur’an many scholars dominated philology and history. This led to a prolonged confusion between the text and the history of salvation history, which is implicit in it. This needs to be solved, with the view that the text of the Qur'an and his commentary as an expression of the views of Islam. This is where the importance of the legacy of structuralism in a given interpretation. By using Levi-Strauss' structuralism, an attempt to determine the relationship webs in the narrative, the relationship is either syntagmatic or paradigmatic, to find hidden messages or messages that are deepest in the verses of the Qur’an. [Agama merupakan institusi sosial, terutama untuk masyarakat muslim pada umumnya, sangat menentukan seluruh perkembangan dinamika masyarakat. Dalam banyak kasus proses sosial yang memarginalisasikan perempuan, sengaja atau tidak, sering melibatkan agama sebagai unsur pembentuk pengetahuan tentang relasi laki-laki-perempuan yang timpang dan seringkali dijadikan sumber legitimasi teologis yang tidak terbantahkan atas kenyataan yang menyudutkan perempuan. Selama ini, bidang kajian al-Qur’an banyak didominasi sarjana filologi dan sejarah. Ini memunculkan kerancuan berkepanjangan antara sejarah teks tersebut dan sejarah penyelamatan, yang secara implisit terkandung di dalamnya. Hal ini perlu dipecahkan, dengan memandang bahwa teks al-Qur’an dan tafsirnya sebagai ungkapan pandangan-pandangan Islam. Di sinilah pentingnya strukturalisme dalam memberi kekayaan khazanah penafsiran. Dengan menggunakan strukturalisme Levi-Strauss, sebuah upaya untuk mengetahui jaring-jaring relasi dalam narasi, baik relasi tersebut bersifat sintagmatik maupun paradigmatik, untuk mengetahui hidden message atau pesan terdalam yang terdapat dalam ayat-ayat al-Qur’an.]
KONSEP MᾹQᾹṢID AL-SYᾹRĪAH MENURUT ṬᾹHᾹ JᾹBIR AL-‘ALWᾹNĪ

One discourse which is receiving considerable attention from scholars of Islam is about the objectives of Islamic law (maqasid al-shari'ah). Taha Jabir al-'Alwānī as one reviewer of Maqasid al-shari'ah contemporary formulate the concept of maqasid al-shari'ah different from previous scholars. This article describes the concept of maqasid al-shari'ah by Taha Jabir al-'Alwānī. According to him, there are three levels of hierarchical of Maqasid al-Sharia. The highest value of maqasid al-shari'ah says is what he describes as al-Maqasid al-'ulyā al-Hakimah (intentions of the highest shari'ah and a legal basis), which consists of three main elements, namely al-Tawhid ( Onesess of God), al-Tazkiyah (purification) and al-'umrān (prosperity). The position of the second al-shari'ah Maqasid are universal values such as justice, freedom, and equality. While the third position is the formulation of the previous scholars regarding maqasid al-shari'ah consisting of ḍarūriyyat, ḥājiyyāt, and taḥsīniyyāt. In terms of methodological, Taha Jabir al-'Alwānī basing the new system for Maqasid al-syarī'ahnya on the methods of al-jam'u Baina al-qirā'atain, a reading of the two entities: the revelation of God and the universe. With this basis, he argues that the maqasid al-shari'ah formulations are qaṭ'ī, so it can be a reference to the scholars in solving the problems of contemporary law. [Salah satu diskursus yang mendapat perhatian cukup besar dari para akademisi Islam adalah seputar tujuan-tujuan hukum islam (maqāṣid al-syarī'ah). Ṭāhā Jābir al-‘Alwānī sebagai salah satu ulama pengkaji maqāṣid asy-syarī’ahkontemporer merumuskan konsep maqāṣid asy-syarī’ahyang berbeda dari ulama sebelumnya. Artikel ini mendeskripsikan konsep maqāṣid asy-syarī’ahmenurut Ṭāhā Jābir al-‘Alwānī. Menurutnya, ada tiga tingkatan hierarkis maqāṣid al-syarī'ah. Nilai tertinggi maqāṣid asy-syarī’ahmenurutnya adalah apa yang disebutnya sebagai al-maqāṣid al-‘ulyā al-ḥākimah (maksud-maksud syari’at yang tertinggi dan menjadi landasan hukum) yang terdiri dari tiga unsur pokok, yaitu al-tauḥīd (pengesaan Allah), al-tazkiyah (penyucian) dan al-‘umrān (pemakmuran). Posisi maqāṣid asy-syarī’ah kedua yaitu nilai-nilai universal seperti keadilan, kebebasan, dan persamaan. Sementara posisi ketiga adalah rumusan ulama terdahulu mengenai maqāṣid asy-syarī’ahyang terdiri dari ḍarūriyyat, ḥājiyyāt, dan taḥsīniyyāt. Dari segi metodologis, Ṭāhā Jābir al-‘Alwānī mendasarkan sistem baru maqāṣid al-syarī'ahnya pada metode al-jam’u baina al-qirā’atain, yaitu sebuah pembacaan terhadap dua entitas: wahyu Allah dan alam semesta. Dengan dasar inilah, ia berpendapat bahwa maqāṣid asy-syarī’ahrumusannya bersifat qaṭ’ī, sehingga dapat menjadi rujukan para ulama dalam menyelesaikan problematika hukum kontemporer.]
