Authors: Fleischman Andrew N. , Austin Matthew S. , Purtill James J. , Parvizi Javad , Hozack William J. 
Published: January 2018

Background:
Despite the expense and potential hazards of inpatient rehabilitation, there is a prevailing belief that patients living alone cannot be safely discharged directly home after total joint arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of direct home discharge for patients living alone during convalescence after primary total joint arthroplasty.

Methods:
We prospectively studied 910 consecutive patients undergoing primary, unilateral total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty over an 8-month period. Patients discharged directly home who were living alone for the first 2 weeks after the surgical procedure were identified as the investigational group and those discharged to home and living with others constituted the control group. The primary outcomes were 90-day complications and unplanned clinical events, including readmissions, emergency department or urgent care visits, and office visits. Functional outcomes, patient satisfaction, pain relief, and return to daily function were also assessed.

Results:
During the study period, 874 patients (96%) were discharged directly home and only 36 patients (4%) were discharged to a rehabilitation facility. Of those discharged home, 769 patients were included in the final analysis, including 138 patients living alone and 631 patients living with others, and 105 patients were excluded as they opted not to participate. Patients living alone more commonly stayed an additional night in the hospital and utilized more home health services. There was no increase in complications or unplanned clinical events for patients living alone compared with those living with others. Further, no significant differences in functional outcomes or pain relief were detected, and satisfaction scores were equivalent after 90 days.

Conclusions:
Patients living alone had a safe and manageable recovery when discharged directly home after total joint arthroplasty. Extending the initial hospitalization and providing home health services on a selected basis may be a more cost-effective approach than routine discharge to an inpatient rehabilitation facility.

Published: January 2018

Background:
Techniques used in hip arthroscopy continue to evolve, and controversy surrounds the need for capsular repair following this surgical intervention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of the hip capsule in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) who underwent simultaneous bilateral hip arthroscopy through an interportal capsulotomy with each hip randomized to undergo capsular repair or not undergo such a repair.

Methods:
This double-blind, randomized controlled trial included 15 patients (30 hips), with a mean age of 29.2 years, who underwent simultaneous bilateral hip arthroscopy utilizing a small (<3-cm) interportal capsulotomy for the treatment of FAI. The first hip treated in each patient was intraoperatively randomized to undergo capsular repair or no capsular repair. The contralateral hip then received the opposite treatment. MRI was performed at 6 and 24 weeks postoperatively, and the scans were analyzed by 2 musculoskeletal radiologists. The patients and the radiologists were blinded to the treatment performed on each hip. Capsular dimensions were measured at the level of the healing capsulotomy site and, for hips with a persistent defect, at locations both proximal and distal to the defect. These values were then analyzed at both time points to assess the rate and extent of capsular healing.

Results:
At 6 weeks postoperatively, a continuous hip capsule (with no apparent capsulotomy defect) was observed in 8 hips treated with capsular repair and 3 hips without such a repair. Of the 19 hips with a discontinuous capsule at 6 weeks, 17 were available for follow-up at 24 weeks postoperatively; all 17 demonstrated progression to healing, with a contiguous appearance without defects and no difference in capsular dimensions between treatment cohorts.

Conclusions:
Arthroscopic repair of a small interportal hip capsulotomy site yields an insignificant increase in the percentage of continuous hip capsules seen on MRI at 6 weeks postoperatively compared with no repair. Repaired and unrepaired capsulotomy sites progressed to healing with a contiguous appearance on MRI by 24 weeks postoperatively.

Potential Sex Bias Exists in Orthopaedic Basic Science and Translational Research
Authors: Bryant Jessica , Yi Paul , Miller Liane , Peek Kacy , Lee Daniel 
Published: January 2018

Background:
Potential sex bias has been shown in general surgery basic science and translational research, with unequal representation of male and female specimens. Because basic science research forms the foundation for clinical studies on which patient care is based, it is important that this research equally consider both sexes. The purpose of this study was to determine if potential sex bias exists in the basic science and translational orthopaedic literature.

Methods:
A systematic review was conducted of all articles published in 2014 in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, The Bone & Joint Journal, and the Journal of Orthopaedic Research (JOR). All original research articles utilizing animals, cells, or cadavers were included. The data abstracted included study type, sex of specimen studied, and presence of sex-based reporting of data. A second review was performed of all basic science articles published in JOR in 1994, 2004, and 2014 to compare sex bias trends across 3 decades. Distributions of variables were compared using the Fisher exact test, with significance defined as p < 0.05.

Results:
Of 1,693 articles reviewed, 250 (15%) were included: 122 animal-based studies (49%), 71 cell-based studies (28%), and 57 human cadaver-based studies (23%). Overall, authors in 88 studies (35%) did not report the sex of animals, cells, or cadavers used. Of 162 studies in which the authors did report sex, 69 (43%) utilized male only, 40 (25%) utilized female only, and 53 (33%) utilized both sexes. Of those studies that used both sexes, authors in only 7 studies (13%) reported sex-based results. A subanalysis of JOR articles across 3 decades revealed a significant increase in studies specifying sex (p = 0.01) from 2004 to 2014.

Conclusions:
Potential sex bias exists in orthopaedic surgery basic science and translational research, with an overrepresentation of male specimens.

Clinical Relevance:
Inequality in sex representation must be addressed as basic science and translational research creates the foundation for subsequent clinical research, which ultimately informs clinical care.
Anomalous Solute Transport in Cemented Porous Media: Pore‐scale Simulations
Authors: Hou Yusong , Jiang Jianguo , Wu Jichun 
Published: January 2018

Core Ideas
The porous media with higher cementation degree have wider velocity spreads.
The solute transport becomes more anomalous with increasing cementation degree.
It is the changing characteristics of the flow field that lead to more anomalous solute transport.
The pore structure of porous media varies significantly with the change in the degree of cementation among solid grains, and recent studies have shown that pore structure greatly influences anomalous solute transport. Nevertheless, limited effort has been devoted to explore the change in the degree of anomalous solute transport with increasing cementation. In this study, we performed pore‐scale numerical simulations to investigate the anomalous dispersion in computer generated two‐dimensional porous media with different degrees of cementation. The simulated pore‐scale fluid fields show that porous media have wider spreads of velocities when the cementation degree increases. When the percentage of cemented solid grains increases from 0.0 to 57.8%, the stagnant regions' area extends more than 11 times, and preferential flow region increases by a factor of more than 6. These changing characteristics of the flow field as the cementation degree increases make solute transport more anomalous. Therefore, we should be careful when applying an advection–dispersion equation (ADE) to predict solute transport in highly cemented porous media.

EMDR therapy is designed to reduce distress related traumatic event. PTSD prevalence is large enough in Indonesia. It was caused by many natural disasters that happened in several area of Indonesia. However, the application of EMDR for reducing PTSD symptoms was still rare. The objective of this study was to examine the intervention of EMDR therapy in handling PTSD respondents and using a one group pretest-posttest design. There were nine PTSD respondents involved during treatment. EMDR treatments were conducted in four repetitive sessions. Each session was completed in 60-90 minutes. Data was taken using PSS (PTSD Symptom Scale) and tested with Wilcoxon statistical analysis. The statistic test showed (Z = - 2.668; p = .05) with Asymp. Sig. =.008. Descriptive data showed that mean scores before and after therapy are 30.88 and 15.77 respectively. This research concluded that EMDR therapy can work to decrease PTSD symptoms.

Published: January 2018

One of the important things which determine the quality of young generation is holistic health, which includes five interrelated dimensions. Unfortunately, young people‟s concern and attitude toward health related matters is still poor. Therefore, this study aimed to look at the effect of psycho-education in adolescent attitudes towards health. It used an experimental research method which involved 26 students on 12th grade at St. Carolus Senior High School Surabaya. Measurement of adolescent attitudes towards health used a questionnaire compiled by the author (Cronbach's Alpha = .922 and KMO & Bartlett’s Test = .717). The results were analyzed using paired sample t-test showed t = - 2.767 and p = .010 which mean an increase in adolescent's attitude to health after the psycho-education was given. In general, it can be concluded that psycho-education could be a potential alternative method to enhance adolescents' attitude towards health.
Increasing water productivity enhances water saving for date palm cultivation in Oman
Authors: Al-Mulla Yasseen , Al-Gheilani H. M 
Published: January 2018

The total amount of water consumption needed to irrigate the cultivated lands in the Sultanate Oman is 1487 Mm3. There are 7.6 million date palm trees currently planted in the farms in Oman covering an area of 23241 hectares or 35% of total agricultural area in the Sultanate in addition to 0.9 million palm trees planted in homes or for landscaping in public parks and beside the roads. Hence, among all cultivated crops in Oman, date palms are the major water consuming plants. They consume 558 Mm3 that is 38% of total irrigation water and 31% of groundwater recharge that suffers an annual water deficit estimated at 316 Mm3. These findings framed the main objectives of this study: (1) to describe the current status of date palm tree cultivation in the Sultanate; (2) to suggest solutions to reduce high consumption of water while improve dates production; and (3) to explore how irrigation water can be saved through increasing water productivity through alternative date palm cultivation and irrigation practices. The water saving recommendation in this study was based on the collected from different sources in addition to the investigation on the water loss during irrigation practices. We found that it is possible to save a total of 396 Mm3 of irrigation water by for instance reducing the cultivation of low quality/value date palm varieties and switching to modern over traditional irrigation systems. It is also important to determine the quality and value of the date palm cultivars to be planted in the proposed reduced area which will then contribute to an increased financial return for the farmers and thus to the country through increasing the water productivity by 64% of these new plots.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe ultrasonographic characteristics of the reproductive tract and serum progesterone and estradiol concentrations in captive female red wolves (Canis rufus) with and without reproductive tract disease.
DESIGN Prospective study.
ANIMALS 13 adult female red wolves.
PROCEDURES Wolves with varying parity and history of contraceptive treatment were anesthetized to facilitate ultrasonographic examination and measurement of the reproductive tract and blood collection for determination of serum progesterone and estradiol concentrations in December 2011 and June 2012. Additionally, during the December evaluation, fine-needle aspirate samples of the uterus were obtained for cytologic evaluation. Measurements were compared between wolves with and without reproductive tract disease and between wolves that had and had not received a contraceptive.
RESULTS 7 of 13 wolves had or developed reproductive tract disease during the study. Ranges for measurements of reproductive tract structures overlapped between ultrasonographically normal and abnormal tracts, but measurements for abnormal tracts were generally greater than those for normal tracts. The ultrasonographic diagnosis was consistent with the histologic diagnosis for reproductive tracts obtained from wolves that were sterilized, were euthanized, or died during the study. Cytologic results for fine-needle aspirate samples of the uterus and serum progesterone and estradiol concentrations were unable to distinguish wolves with and without reproductive tract disease. Reproductive tract disease was not associated with parity or contraceptive administration.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The ultrasonographic images, reproductive tract measurements, and descriptions of reproductive tract lesions provided in this study can be used as diagnostic guidelines for the treatment and management of red wolves with reproductive tract disease.
O PAPEL DA TRIBUTAÇÃO: UMA VISÃO ECONÔMICA ENTRE O RECONHECIMENTO E A REDISTRIBUIÇÃO (THE ROLE OF TAXATION: AN ECONOMIC VISION BETWEEN RECOGNITION AND REDISTRIBUTION)
Authors: Perfeito Sidnei Da Silva , Buffon Marciano 
Published: January 2018

O presente artigo tem por objeto analisar papel desempenhado pela tributação, mediante a abordagem dos efeitos concretos das teorias de reconhecimento e redistribuição concebidas por Axel Honneth e Nancy Fraser a partir das conclusões de autores economistas que estudam a desigualdade, em especial Anthony Atkinson, Thomas Piketty e Joseph Stiglitz. A confrontação pretende demonstrar que a desigualdade aumentou na mesma época que as demandas por reconhecimento emergiram e que a redistribuição pode ser mais efetiva se tiver como fundamento uma melhor distribuição da riqueza pela via da justiça tributária. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role played for taxation, through the approach of the recognition and redistribution theories conceived by Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser as of the conclusions of economist authors who study inequality, particularly Anthony Atkinson, Thomas Piketty and Joseph Stiglitz. The confrontation aims to demonstrate that inequality has increased at the same time that the demands for recognition have emerged and that redistribution can be more effective if it’s based on a better distribution of wealth as a consequence of tax justice.
