Authors: Yayan Emriye H. , Çelebioğlu Ayda 
Published: January 2017

Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an obesogenic environment and social support for health behaviours on body mass index and body image in adolescents. Methods: This methodological and descriptive study was conducted in a city centre in Turkey. Interviews were made with the Provincial Directorate for National Education, and the schools in the city centre were divided into three regions according to socioeconomic levels; three schools were then determined among the regions by drawing lots. The data collection was performed with 270 students randomly selected from the three schools. A student information form, an obesogenic environment evaluation form, body cathexis scale, body mass index (BMI) and the Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale for Healthy Behaviours were used to collect data. Percentage distributions, correlations, chi-square tests, analyses of variance and independent samples t-tests were used in the data analysis. Results: According to the data acquired, 10.7% of adolescents in the study group were overweight and 3.0% were obese. There was a positive relationship between the obesogenic environment and BMI, and as the obesogenic environmental features of adolescents increased, the BMI increased, and the body image scores decreased. As social support for the adolescents’ health behaviours increased from their mothers, fathers, teachers, classmates, and close friends, BMI decreased and they were more likely to be satisfied satisfied with their bodies. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that, while an obesogenic environment contributed to increased BMI in adolescents and decreased their body satisfaction, social support given for health behaviours had a positive effect on BMI and body perception.

Published: January 2017

Background Adhesive capsulitis is a common cause of stiff shoulder and may result in pain and restriction of movement. The study aimed to investigate the role of hydrodilatation of the glenohumeral joint in the management of adhesive capsulitis. Methods Patients referred from the shoulder clinic underwent hydrodilatation under ultrasound guidance. Of 209 referred for hydrodilatation, 163 underwent the procedure and attended follow-up physiotherapy. Outcome measures were available for 118 patients (58 men and 60 women). Mean age of the study group was 52.6 years. Results There was a statistically significant improvement in both Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) and Disability Arm Shoulder Hand Scores (Quick DASH) in the first 4 weeks after the procedure, which was maintained but not improved to the end of the study period. Patients presenting with pain, those who had a history of steroid injections and older patients all had worse functional scores at presentation. Diabetes (both Type I and II), previous physiotherapy, length of history and whether pain or stiffness, or both, were the predominant symptom did not have any statistical significance at presentation. These factors were not predictors of any statistically significant improvement in functional scores. Conclusions Hydrodilatation results in a significant improvement of symptoms in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Objective: This study examined adherence to alert-based cues for plantar pressure offloading in patients with diabetic foot disease. Method and Design: Participants (n = 17) with in diabetic foot remission (history of neuropathic ulceration) were instructed to wear a smart insole system (the SurroSense Rx, Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc, Calgary, Canada) over a three-month period. This device is designed to cue offloading to manage unprotected sustained plantar pressures in an effort to prevent foot ulceration. A successful response to an alert was defined as pressure offloading, which occurred within 20 minutes of the alert onset. Patient adherence, defined as daily hours of device wear, was determined using sensor data and patient questionnaires. Changes in these parameters were assessed monthly. Results: Patients demonstrating increased adherence over the course of the study received more alerts (0.82 ± 0.31 alerts/hour) than patients whose adherence did not improve (0.36 ± 0.46 alerts/hour, P = .156). By the final stages of the study, participants who had received at least one alert every two hours were more adherent with offloading than participants who received fewer alerts (52.5 ± 4.1% vs 24.7 ± 22.4%, P = .043). Furthermore, duration of time from alert generation to successful offloading was significantly greater in the group receiving fewer alerts. This was measured in the third month with an effect size Cohen’s d = 1.739, P = .043. Conclusion: The results suggest a minimum number of alerts (one every two hours) is required for patients with diabetic neuropathy to optimally respond to offloading cues from a smart insole system.

Published: January 2017

Introduction A 74-year-old man presented to hospital with a headache, thrombocytopaenia and an acute deterioration in cognition on a background of acute monocytic leukaemia in remission. Method This is a case report with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) and histopathology imaging. Results Preoperative CT and limited MR demonstrated a subdural lesion with marked midline shift. Craniotomy performed for evacuation of the presumed subdural haematoma revealed a solid tumour-like lesion. Histopathology identified the presence of a myeloid sarcoma (chloroma). Postoperative MRI with contrast revealed the solid nature of the mass. Conclusion The use of contrast is critical in the assessment of intracranial lesions to distinguish myeloid sarcoma from subdural haematoma in the context of leukaemia and a neurologically deteriorating patient.

Background and goalDiarrhoea‐predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS‐D) exhibits intestinal innate immune and mucosal mast cell (MC) activation. MC stabilisers have been shown to improve IBS symptoms but the mechanism is unclear. Our primary aim was to investigate the effect of oral disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) on jejunal MC activation and specific innate immune signalling pathways in IBS‐D, and secondarily, its potential clinical benefit.StudyMucosal MC activation (by ultrastructural changes, tryptase release and gene expression) and innate immune signalling (by protein and gene expression) were quantified in jejunal biopsies from healthy (HS;n = 16) and IBS‐D subjects after six months of either treatment with DSCG (600 mg/day, IBS‐D‐DSCG group;n = 18) or without treatment (IBS‐D‐NT group;n = 25). All IBS‐D patients recorded abdominal pain and bowel habits at baseline and in the last 10 days prior to jejunal sampling.ResultsIBS‐D‐NT exhibited significant MC activation and over‐expression of immune‐related genes as compared to HS, whereas in IBS‐D‐DSCG MC activity and gene expression were similar to HS. Furthermore, DSCG significantly reduced abdominal pain and improved stool consistency.ConclusionOral DSCG modulates mucosal immune activity and improves gut symptoms in IBS‐D patients. Future placebo‐controlled clinical trials are needed for confirmation of clinical benefit of DSCG for IBS‐D.

Background: Clinical orthopedic research needs better ability to assess patient expectations with regard to orthopedic trauma surgery outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate to which extent patient expectations prior to surgery could be met after surgery. Methods: Patients (≥18 years) with surgical ankle fractures were prospectively recruited at 5 orthopedic trauma clinics in the United States (USA), Canada, and Brazil and followed up for 12 months. Patients were asked to complete a previously validated trauma expectation factor (TEF) questionnaire prior to surgery and a trauma outcome measure (TOM) 1 year after surgery. Results: At 1 year, 155 patients had provided complete records. Almost half (49%; 76/155) had a 1-year TOM score equaling or exceeding their preoperative TEF score (95% CI: 41–57%). The remaining scores failed to meet patient expectations. TOM scores matched or exceeded patient expectations for 33% of patients in the USA and 47% in Canada, but for 69% in Brazil ( p = 0.001 (USA); p = 0.024 (Canada)). This geographical effect was attributable to higher patient expectations in North America as compared to Brazil (average TEF scores: 36 (North America) versus 31 (Brazil); p < 0.001). Patients with lower household income or smokers were more likely to be satisfied with their treatment ( p = 0.02 and p = 0.05, respectively). Furthermore, patients with severe type C fractures had better rates of satisfaction (62%) than patients with simpler B (50%) or type A fractures (33%) ( p = 0.01 [C type versus A type]). Conclusions: Orthopedic surgeons have difficulty in meeting or exceeding presurgical patient expectations of long-term outcomes for ankle fracture surgery. This study provides evidence that culture, geography, and surgeon—patient communication have considerable influence on patient expectations.

Purpose: Pipkin type IV femoral head (FH) fracture was thought as poor prognosis. There were several surgical approaches and treatments for this difficult fracture. However, there was no one treatment superior to another. We reviewed a serious of patients with Pipkin type IV FH fracture underwent surgery via a modified Gibson approach. Methods: We reviewed a consecutive series of nine patients with Pipkin type IV FH fracture under surgery via a modified Gibson approach between 2012 and 2013. The surgical procedure was completely described, and the radiological outcome and the functional outcome were also reviewed. Results: The mean follow-up duration was 17 (12–30) months. The mean Merle d’Aubigne score was 16 (8–19). Seven patients had anatomical reductions, and two had imperfect reductions by Matta’s grading. There was no early posttraumatic osteoarthritis during the follow-up period. One patient with early post-traumatic osteonecrosis 3 months after index surgery underwent total hip arthroplasty. Conclusions: Through this surgery approach to fix the FH and the acetabulum, the radiological and the functional results were satisfactory. We still need more patients with prospective study to find an optimal surgical approach for Pipkin type IV FH fracture.
Effectiveness of leucocyte esterase as a diagnostic test for acute septic arthritis
Authors: Gautam VK , Saini Rishabh , Sharma Siddharth 
Published: January 2017

Background: We hypothesized that leucocyte esterase strip test can aid in diagnosing septic arthritis in native synovial fluid because leucocyte esterase concentrations would be elevated at the infection site because of secretion by recruited neutrophils. Method: The cohort included 27 patients (suspected septic arthritis and normal subjects). A standard chemical test strip (graded as negative, trace, +, ++ or +++) was used to detect the presence of leucocyte esterase. Fluid leucocyte count, Gram staining, culture, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein were also assessed. Results: The leucocyte esterase test with a threshold of ++/+++ had a sensitivity of 79.2% (95% CI [confidence interval], 65.9% to 89.2%), specificity of 80.8% (95% CI, 73.3% to 87.1%), positive predictive value (PPV) of 61.8% (95% CI, 49.2% to 73.3%) and negative predictive value (NPV) of 90.1% (95% CI, 84.3% to 95.4%). Conclusion: The leucocyte esterase strip test yielded a high specificity, PPV, NPV, high sensitivity and high diagnostic accuracy. Leucocyte esterase is an accurate, quick and bedside test for septic arthritis and can be used effectively for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infections along with other battery of tests according to the Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria.

Authors: Miranda Gassull Virginia 
Published: January 2017

Las diversas formas en que se aborda la problemática habitacional de los sectores populares, promueve la indagación sobre los diversos enfoques del hábitat popular, principalmente desde la formación de la disciplina de arquitectura. Los enfoques del hábitat popular que se han acuñado a lo largo de las últimas décadas en Latinoamérica se conciben desde las corrientes desarrollistas, desde la arquitectura como disciplina técnico-social, los avances expuestos por organizaciones sociales de base dedicadas a esta temática y las nociones andinas (sumak kawsay y suma qamaña). Así mismo, se expresan cualitativamente la comparación entre las diferencias y encuentros respecto a los posicionamientos predominantes de cada uno. El fin último es construir un marco teórico en el que se establezcan los enfoques propuestos sobre el hábitat popular, incorporando la visión de los distintos organismos internacionales que han operado en la construcción académica en estos términos.
Cronología de las prácticas de Ordenamiento, conflicto e intratabilidad: el caso de la Reserva del Bosque Oriental de Bogotá
Authors: Rojas-Pinilla Humberto 
Published: January 2017

Los principales rasgos de intratabilidad en los conflictos son: la larga duración, recurrencia y fracaso de los intentos de transformación, involucrar al Estado, la lucha por necesidades fundamentales, así como “fuertes elementos culturales y estructurales”. Este artículo elabora una cronología de las formas como se han intrincado los ingredientes en este conflicto para producir sus rasgos de intratabilidad. El artículo señala las maneras como se ha configurado este Habitus, consecuencia de elementos estructurales y coyunturales que han conspirado para configurar ciertas prácticas problemáticas de gestión del suelo, y la población en Bogotá y sus múltiples relaciones con el conflicto que supone la urbanización de predios afectados por la declaración en 1 976 de la Reserva natural de carácter nacional Bosque Oriental de Bogotá.
El ordenamiento territorial para la gestión del riesgo de desastres naturales en Colombia.
Authors: Calderon Ramirez Daniel Ricardo , Frey Klaus 
Published: January 2017

En Colombia la Ley Orgánica de Ordenamiento Territorial (LOOT), es una de las herramientas que permitió la restructuración del Sistema Nacional de Gestión del Riesgo, generando que los entes territoriales pudieran organizarse en una gestión conjunta al nivel central, bajo los principios de descentralización, coordinación, complementariedad y concurrencia; esto con el objetivo de fomentar acciones estratégicas coordinadas hacia el conocimiento del riesgo, reducción del riesgo y manejo de la emergencia. De esta manera, la LOOT ha permitido mejorar las competencias de los entes territoriales para la gestión del riesgo de desastres, por medio del traspaso de mayor autonomía del nivel nacional hacia los departamentos y municipios, así como el fortalecimiento de asociaciones municipales como el caso del Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá y su plan intermunicipal de gestión del riesgo -Red Riesgos-.
Modernización urbana y exclusión social en Cartagena de Indias, una mirada desde la prensa local
Authors: Valdelamar Villegas Fabricio Fabián 
Published: January 2017

El Plan Pearson de 1914 y el Plano Regulador de 1948 constituyeron los horizontes de la planificación urbana de la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. El propósito de ambos proyectos, pese a sus particulares disposiciones, estaba orientado hacia la modernización del entorno urbano. Empresa que, en el ideario de las élites locales y nacionales, estaba garantizada puesto que las dos propuestas de ciudad se acomodaban a los modelos urbanos euro centristas y priorizaban el componente morfológico. Los ejes de ésta pretendida restauración fueron la higienización, la implementación de servicios públicos y el equipamiento urbano. La adecuación de la superestructura y de la infraestructura urbana sería la base del despegue económico que por décadas le fue esquivo a la ciudad. Sin embargo, el ideario de las autoridades formulado tanto en el Plan Pearson como en el Plano Regulador contrastaría con la mirada crítica de la prensa local que, en muchos momentos, fungía como oposición política y en otros casos retrataba a través de sus plumas las verosimilitudes de una ciudad en donde la exclusión fue el rasgo sobresaliente de su vida social
A Stochastic Model for Interterminal Container Transportation
Authors: Mishra Nishant , Roy Debjit , van Ommeren Jan-Kees 
Published: January 2017

We propose a novel semiopen queuing network (SOQN) model for the interterminal transportation (ITT) problem where multiple container terminals use a common fleet of vehicles (automated lift vehicles, automated guided vehicles, multitrailers, and barges) to transport containers between terminals. To solve the overall queuing network, our solution approach uses a network decomposition method where the original SOQN is decomposed to a closed and an open queuing network (with bulk-service capacity). To our knowledge, this is the first work that considers bulk service in SOQNs. We develop theoretical upper and lower bounds on the throughput time estimates of our model, and provide an extension for the case when service times at the terminal handling stations depend on the number of containers being loaded/unloaded. We numerically validate our model using simulated data where we find that our model results in errors of less than 5% for vehicle utilization. We also show that our model results in better estimates for the ITT problem when compared to existing approaches in the literature. Finally, we apply our model to real-world data from the Port of Rotterdam and show that it can be used to analyze throughput time trade-offs with alternate dwell point policies, different vehicle types, and variable vehicle capacities.
