Published: November 2016

Objectives Odontogenic chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an epidemiologically important disease process due, in part, to the increasingly commonplace use of dental restorative procedures such as zygomatic implantation. Traditional management of this clinical entity typically entails extraction of the infected hardware via an open or endoscopic approach. We describe a novel management strategy of odontogenic CRS following bilateral zygomatic implantation for oral rehabilitation that we surgically salvaged via a modified endoscopic medial maxillectomy. Methods We describe the presentation and management of a case of metachronous development of bilateral CRS subsequent to zygomatic implantation. Results The patient's postoperative course was characterized by marked endoscopic, radiologic, and symptomatic improvement as measured by the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test. Conclusion We describe a novel treatment strategy for the management of odontogenic sinusitis resulting from erroneous zygomatic implant placement. Modified endoscopic medial maxillectomy in this clinical context facilitates mucosal normalization of the affected sinus, while permitting preservation of oral function through salvage of the displaced implant.

Background Although considerable efforts have been made to develop diagnostic tools for predicting the outcome of oral food challenges, tests for predicting the outgrowth of food allergies are lacking. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of the wheal size and skin index (SI) (the ratio of an allergen-induced wheal to a histamine-induced wheal diameter) of the skin-prick test based on the outcome of a controlled oral provocation test for cow's milk. Moreover, we assessed whether wheal size and/or SI were useful for predicting the outgrowth of cow's milk allergy (CMA). Methods This study included 135 children with suspected CMA. Eighty-one patients were definitely diagnosed by oral provocation tests for cow's milk, and their wheal diameters, SIs, and cow milk's–specific serum immunoglobulin E concentrations were determined. Results The wheal diameters were significantly larger and the SIs significantly higher in children with positive oral provocation test results than in those with negative test results. We found that 50% of the patients were expected to be able to drink cow's milk by age 5 years. In these patients, the wheal diameters were significantly smaller and the SIs significantly lower at the time of CMA outgrowth than at the time of diagnosis, whereas these values were apt to increase in patients who did not outgrow CMA, with no significant difference. Conclusions The skin-prick test can be used to diagnose CMA and predict CMA outgrowth. A wheal diameter of 8 mm or/and an SI of 1.0 is informative, not only in diagnosing CMA but also in predicting a natural CMA outgrowth.

SummaryObjectives: To assess the effect of intra- operative radiology on the quality of lag screw insertion for the management of sacroiliac joint luxations in cats.Methods: In this retrospective single-centre study, the surgical, anaesthetic and imaging records of 40 screws (32 cats) placed with lag effect for management of sacroiliac luxation were reviewed. Postoperative radio-graphs were assessed for sacroiliac joint reduction, screw position, and sacral width purchased by each screw. Cases were divided into two groups according to the use of (IOR) or the absence of intra-operative radiology (NIOR).Results: A total of 23 lag screws were placed with the aid of intra-operative radiology and 17 without. Three of the 23 screws placed in the IOR group exited the sacrum as opposed to eight of 17 screws in the NIOR group (p = 0.03). Mean sacral width purchased by the screws in the IOR group (70.8%) was also significantly higher (p = 0.002) than in the NIOR group (54.6%). Mean general anaesthetic times for unilateral and bilateral screw placement for the IOR group and NIOR group were not significantly different.Clinical significance: The use of intra-operative radiology can significantly improve the quality of lag screw insertion for the stabilization of sacroiliac luxations in cats, which should lead to a reduced incidence of postoperative screw loosening.
Sagittal accuracy of tibial osteotomy position during in vivo tibial plateau levelling osteotomy performed without an alignment jig and cutting guide
Authors: Witte Philip , Scott Harry , Craig Andrew 
Published: November 2016

SummaryObjectives: To assess the accuracy of tibial osteotomy location for tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) in the sagittal plane and its effect on the postoperative tibial plateau angle (TPA), when performed without an alignment jig and saw guide. Also, to document the improvement gained with experience.Methods: Medical records and stifle radio-graphs of dogs undergoing TPLO, without the use of an alignment jig and saw guide, by one surgeon were reviewed (2010–2014). Postoperative radiographs were reviewed to record the distance and direction of eccentricity. Postoperative TPA was also recorded.Results: In a series of 401 TPLO procedures, 231 met the inclusion criteria. The absolute distance of eccentricity (DOE) for all dogs was 3.0 ± 1.6 mm. When evaluating surgical experience, the DOE for the final 77 cases (2.72 ± 1.43 mm), the middle 77 cases (3.18 ± 1.49 mm), and the first 77 cases (3.24 ± 1.7 mm) were not significantly different (p = 0.07157). There was a very weak correlation between DOE and postoperative TPA (R = 0.029).Clinical significance: The location of the tibial osteotomy when performing TPLO without an alignment jig and saw guide compared favourably with previously documented use of an alignment jig and saw guide. Whilst the location of the tibial osteo -tomy has a theoretical impact on the post -operative TPA, other factors appear to be of greater importance. Surgeon experience did not result in significant improvement in accuracy up to 231 procedures.
Influence of calcium salts and bovine thrombin on growth factor release from equine platelet-rich gel supernatants
Authors: Giraldo Carlos , Álvarez María , Carmona Jorge 
Published: November 2016

SummaryObjective: To compare five activation methods in equine platelet-rich plasma (PRP) by determination of platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) concentrations in platelet-rich gel (PRG) supernatants.Methods: Platelet-rich plasma from 20 horses was activated by calcium chloride (CC), calcium gluconate (CG), bovine thrombin (BT), and their combinations, BTCC and BTCG. Both growth factor concentrations in PRG supernatants were measured by ELISA and compared with plasma and platelet ly-sates (PL) over time.Results: Growth factor concentrations were significantly lower in plasma and higher for all PRG supernatants. Platelet lysates contained a significantly lower concentration of PDGF-BB than PRG supernatants and a significantly higher concentration of TGF-β1 than PRG supernatants. Clots from PRP activated with sodium salts were more stable over time and had significant growth factor release, whereas CC produced gross salt deposition. Significant correlations were noticed for platelet with leukocyte concentrations in PRP (rs: 0.76), platelet counts in PRP with TGF-β1 concentrations in PRG supernatants (rs: 0.86), platelet counts in PRP with PDGF-BB concentrations in PRG super-natants (rs: 0.78), leukocyte counts in PRP with TGF-β1 concentrations in PRG supernatants (rs: 0.76), and PDGF-BB concentrations with activating substances (rs: 0.72).Clinical significance: Calcium gluconate was the better substance to induce PRP activation. It induced growth factor release free from calcium precipitates in the clots. Use of BT alone or combined with calcium salts was not advantageous for growth factor release.
The evaluation of limb symmetry indices using ground reaction forces collected with one or two force plates in healthy dogs
Authors: Sandberg Gabby , Robb Sarah , Budsberg Steven , Volstad Nicola 
Published: November 2016

SummaryObjective: To compare the variability of symmetry indices within and between days when using one and two force plates for data collection.Animals: Seventeen healthy client-owned adult dogs.Methods: Vertical ground reaction force data were collected in a crossover study design, with four collection sessions on two consecutive days, and then two weeks apart (days 1, 2, 15, and 16) using both 1-plate and 2-plate collection methods. Symmetry indices were calculated for limb pairs using two standard equations (SI1 and SI2). Repeated measures analysis was used to compare symmetry indices data between plate systems and days. Significance was set at p <0.05.Results: There were no significant differences between plate systems for SI1 and SI2. There were no significant differences between data collected on different days and no significant interaction effects between variables. Symmetry indices were consistently larger for ground reaction forces calculated from non-consecutive footfalls.Conclusions: The use of two force plate systems will minimize variance caused by trial repetition and paired limb variation. When comparing SI1 to SI2, results were not significantly different. However, there were consistently higher mean values for SI1 compared with SI2 and symmetry indices were consistently larger for 1-plate systems compared to 2-plate systems for both symmetry indices.

Objective.To assess the efficacy and safety of the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) inhibitor canakinumab in all adolescent and adult patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) identified from the Greek National Registry for off-label drug use between 2010 and 2015.Methods.In this retrospective longitudinal outcome study, clinical and laboratory data were collected from 14 patients (7 men) aged median 38.5 years (range 13–70), with median disease duration of 14 years, and active FMF despite colchicine (n = 9) or both colchicine and anakinra (n = 5).Results.All patients continued to receive canakinumab at last visit (median of 18 mos, range 13–53), which was initially given as monotherapy (n = 8) or in combination with colchicine and/or corticosteroids, every 4 (n = 7), 6 (n = 2), or 8 weeks (n = 5). Eleven patients (79%), including 6 receiving monotherapy, achieved complete clinical remission within 2 months (median), while normalization of all laboratory variables denoting inflammation occurred in 92% at 3 months (median). The remaining 3 patients achieved partial responses. Responses were sustained in all but 4 patients, who relapsed. Reducing the canakinumab administration interval from 8 or 6 weeks to 4 weeks led to suppression of disease activity in the relapsing patients. On the other hand, drug administration interval could be safely increased in 2 patients in remission. Corticosteroid doses were significantly reduced during followup. Canakinumab was well tolerated; 1 patient experienced a urinary tract infection and another one a viral gastroenteritis.Conclusion.Treatment with canakinumab in an individualized dosing scheme results in rapid and sustained remission in colchicine-resistant FMF.

Published: November 2016

Objective.To study longterm work disability and possible predictors in newly diagnosed patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS).Methods.Because we wanted to include only patients with full work availability potential, eligible patients were aged 18–62 years. Fifty-one patients (mean age 46 yrs, range 18–61 yrs, 50 women) diagnosed with pSS between January 2001 and December 2012 were included in the study. For each patient we randomly selected 4 reference subjects from the general population and matched for age, sex, and area of residence. We linked data to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency and calculated the proportion as well as net days of work disability in 30-day intervals from 12 months before pSS diagnosis until 24 months after .Results.Work disability was increased in patients with pSS in comparison to general population comparators. At diagnosis, 26% of patients were work-disabled, while 37% and 41% were disabled at 12 and 24 months after diagnosis, respectively (p < 0.05 and p < 0.05 vs baseline). Prior work disability status at diagnosis (OR 15.4, 95% CI 2.9–81.9; p = 0.001), concomitant fibromyalgia (OR 10.5, 95% CI 2.0–56.0; p = 0.006), and each additional year of age (OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.0–1.2; p = 0.009) were found to be associated with work disability 24 months after diagnosis.Conclusion.Patients with pSS showed an increased work disability, in comparison with the general population, which increased significantly during the first 2 years after diagnosis. Work disability at diagnosis, concomitant fibromyalgia, and increasing age, but not anti-SSA/anti-SSB antibodies or disease activity, were associated with longterm work disability.
Les limites de l’empathie : Construction du mal et victimaires
Authors: Lachal Christian 
Published: November 2016

Nous commencerons par questionner les termes principaux de notre propos : le bourreau, les lois et leur rapport au juste et à la coutume. Mais aussi comment une société peut basculer vers le mal à partir d’une altération d’une seule de ses fonctions : l’appartenance. Les exécuteurs deviennent alors légitimés, ils répondent à un nouveau cadre légal dans lequel le meurtre est ‘moral’. Ce processus préparatoire fabrique des hommes qui peuvent justifier leurs actes, les juger comme un travail indispensable. Cela ne les préserve pas du risque d’empathie devant certaines de leurs victimes, d’une excitation, brutalisation produites par leurs actions, ce qui les amènent à la cruauté et à une forme de mélancolie honteuse : le secret du bourreau. Un exemple clinique nous permet de souligner les risques liés à une trop forte adhésion au statut de victime du patient et de faire émerger l’image du victimaire.
Prevalence and risk factors of hypertension and diabetes in the Katkari tribe of coastal Maharashtra
Authors: Deo MG , Pawar PV , Kanetkar SR , Kakade SV 
Published: November 2016

Background and Objectives:
Urban and rural India are both going through health epidemiological transition and will soon face huge burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Information on the status of NCDs in tribals is limited. Although the prevalence of hypertension in scheduled tribes (STs) has been studied in several states by the National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau, tribe-specific data are very scanty. The objective of this study was to generate data on the status of hypertension and diabetes, the two objectively measurable NCDs in Katkaris, the dominant ST in the Raigad district of coastal Maharashtra.

Methods:
The study was conducted in 410 adult Katkaris (women 219) of both sexes of ≥18 years of age in three adjoining tehsils of the district. Using the Institution Review Board approved protocol; information was obtained on sociodemographic parameters, educational level, dietary pattern, and substance abuse. Prevalence of overweight, hypertension, and diabetes was measured using standard field-based procedures and techniques.

Results:
Katkaris, who are mostly landless manual laborers, subsist on a protein-poor, imbalanced diet. About half of women and one-third of men have body mass index (BMI) <18.5 kg/m2, an indication of undernutrition. On the other hand, about 2% of participants were obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). The overall prevalence of hypertension and diabetes was 16.8% and 7.3%, respectively. Hypercholesterolemia was recorded in about 3% of the participants.

Interpretation and Conclusions:
Prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in Katkaris is still lower than that of urban and rural populations, closer to the latter. This may be due to the absence of known risk factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and hyperlipidemia in this community. Fast acculturation of the STs suggests that NCDs will soon become a major health issue in them too. It is time to launch a multicentric national study to gather baseline information on the status of NCDs in STs.
Diagnostic and Clinical Management of Skull Fractures in Children
Authors: Arneitz Christoph , Sinzig Maria , Fasching Günter 
Published: November 2016

Objective:
The indications of routine skull X-rays after mild head trauma are still in discussion, and the clinical management of a child with a skull fracture remains controversial. The aim of our retrospective study was to evaluate our diagnostic and clinical management of children with skull fractures following minor head trauma.

Methods:
We worked up the medical history of all consecutive patients with a skull fracture treated in our hospital from January 2009 to October 2014 and investigated all skull X-rays in our hospital during this period.

Results:
In 5217 skull radiographies, 66 skull fractures (1.3%) were detected. The mean age of all our patients was 5.9 years (median age: 4.0 years); the mean age of patients with a diagnosed skull fracture was 2.3 years (median age: 0.8 years). A total of 1658 children (32%) were <2 years old. A typical boggy swelling was present in 61% of all skull fractures. The majority of injuries were caused by falls (77%). Nine patients (14%) required a computed tomography (CT) scan during their hospital stay due to neurological symptoms, and four patients had a brain magnetic resonance imaging. Nine patients (14%) showed an intracranial hemorrhage (ICH; mean age: 7.3 years); one patient had a neurosurgery because of a depressed skull fracture. Nine patients (14%) were observed at our pediatric intensive care unit for a mean time of 2.9 days. The mean hospital stay was 4.2 days.

Conclusions:
Our findings support previous evidence against the routine use of skull X-rays for evaluation of children with minor head injury. The rate of diagnosed skull fractures in radiographs following minor head trauma is low, and additional CT scans are not indicated in asymptomatic patient with a linear skull fracture. All detected ICHs could be treated conservatively. Children under the age of 2 years have the highest risk of skull fractures after minor head trauma, but do not have a higher incidence of intracranial bleeding. Neuroobservation without initial CT scans is safe in infants and children following minor head trauma and CT scans should be reserved for patients with neurological symptoms.
Ancient Buildings and Masonry Techniques in the Southern Hauran, Jordan
Authors: Anastasio Stefano , Gilento Piero , Parenti Roberto 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
Umm al-Surab, located near modern-day Mafraq in northern Jordan, was the focus of a building archaeology project carried out by the University of Siena, Italy, between 2009 and 2012. This article discusses the primary results obtained from that project—in particular, the research on the church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus and another complex in the southeastern corner of the archaeological area. The methodologies adopted are explored, as well as the results anticipated from the development of this type of research: the creation of an atlas of construction techniques for the southern Hauran and the development of a non-destructive, and therefore “sustainable,” investigation methodology.
Did They Really Forget How to Do It? Iraq, Syria, and the International Response to Protect a Shared Heritage
Authors: Lababidi Rim , Qassar Hiba 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
The instrumental role played by the Monuments Men in protecting and rebuilding the cultural life of Europe inspired the international community to enforce the protection of cultural heritage following World War II. Accordingly, UNESCO was internationally acknowledged as the main body to preserve and protect cultural heritage, supported by several other specialized partners. Nevertheless, several nations experienced great cultural loss. This article discusses the systematic protection of cultural heritage in times of war, set by the international community under the lead of UNESCO. The argument here is built upon a comparative analysis of the damage that Iraqi and Syrian heritage have suffered and of the international response to mitigate it, especially in the context of “shared heritage.” This article suggests developing a response that can practically protect the cultural heritage of countries in crisis.
