Authors: Fazal Muhammad Ali , Tsekes Demetris , Baloch Irshad 
Published: September 2017

Introduction. There is an increasing trend to investigate plantar heel pain with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan though plantar fasciitis is the most common cause. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the role of MRI in patients presenting with plantar heel pain. Methods. Case notes and MRI scans of 141 patients with a clinical diagnosis of plantar fasciitis were reviewed retrospectively. There were 98 females and 43 males patients. Fourteen patients had bilateral symptoms. Average age for male patients was 51 years (range = 26-78 years), and for female patients the average age was 52 years (range = 29-76 years). Results. A total of 121 feet had MRI features suggestive of plantar fasciitis. MRI was normal in 32 feet. There was one case of stress fracture of calcaneus and another of a heel fibroma diagnosed on MRI scan. Conclusions. In our study, MRI scan was normal in 20.7% of the cases; 1.3% had a diagnosis other than plantar fasciitis but no sinister pathology. We therefore conclude that MRI scan is not routinely indicated and key is careful clinical assessment. Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level IV: Retrospective, Case series.

Aims: To examine the association of patient-related factors with the effect of an in-hospital comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) on hip fracture mortality. Methods: Population-based, prospective data were collected on 1425 consecutive hip fracture patients aged ≥65 in a central hospital providing orthogeriatric service. Outcome was mortality at 1 month after hip fracture associated with receiving versus not receiving CGA. Results: Of the patients receiving CGA compared to those who did not, 8.5% versus12.0% had died within 1 month of the hip fracture ( P = .028). In the age- and sex-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model, CGA was associated with a decreased risk of 1-month mortality in patients aged 80 to 89 years (hazard ratio [HR] 0.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.29-0.73), females (HR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.38-0.86), having American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score 1 to 3 (HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.37-0.99), taking 4 to 10 daily medications (HR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.38-0.91), with a diagnosis of memory disorder (HR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.29-0.88), with an estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min/1.73m2 (HR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.10-0.76), or living in an assisted living accommodation (HR: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.21-0.76). Conclusion: Several modifiable and patient-related factors were associated with decreased risk of 1-month mortality when CGA was performed during hospitalization for hip fracture. Between “younger and fitter” and “oldest and frailest,” there is a large group of hip fracture patients whose survival can be improved by in-hospital CGA.

Published: September 2017

Background: Several risk factors for the postoperative recurrence of instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair have been reported, but there have been few detailed investigations of the specific risk factors in relation to the type of sport. Purpose: This study investigated the postoperative recurrence of instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair without additional reinforcement procedures in competitive athletes, including athletes with a large glenoid defect. The purpose of this study was to investigate risk factors related to the postoperative recurrence of instability in athletes. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 115 athletes (123 shoulders) were classified into 5 groups according to type of sport: rugby (41 shoulders), American football (32 shoulders), other collision sports (18 shoulders), contact sports (15 shoulders), and overhead sports (17 shoulders). First, the recurrence rate in each sporting category was investigated, with 113 shoulders followed up for a minimum of 2 years. Then, factors related to postoperative recurrence were investigated in relation to the type of sport. Results: Postoperative recurrence of instability was noted in 23 of 113 shoulders (20.4%). The recurrence rate was 33.3% in rugby, 17.2% in American football, 11.1% in other collision sports, 14.3% in contact sports, and 12.5% in overhead sports. The most frequent cause of recurrence was tackling, and recurrence occurred with tackling in 12 of 16 athletes playing rugby or American football. Reoperation was completed in 11 shoulders. By univariate analysis, significant risk factors for postoperative recurrence of instability included playing rugby, age between 10 and 19 years at surgery, preoperative glenoid defect, small bone fragment of bony Bankart lesion, and capsular tear. However, by multivariate analysis, the most significant factor was not the type of sport but younger age at operation and a preoperative glenoid defect with small or no bone fragment. Compared with the other sports, there was a significantly greater recurrence rate among rugby players without the aforementioned significant risk factors (small glenoid defect, ≤10%; medium or large bone fragment, >5%; and no capsular tear). Conclusion: Younger age at operation and preoperative glenoid defect with small or no bone fragment significantly influenced recurrent instability among competitive athletes.

Published: September 2017

Mutations in the BMPR2 gene, and more rarely in ACVRL1, endoglin, caveolin-1, KCNK3 and TBX4 genes predispose to heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension, an autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance. Bi-allelic mutations in the EIF2AK4 gene predispose to heritable pulmonary veno-occlusive disease/pulmonary capillary haemangiomatosis, an autosomal recessive disease with an unknown penetrance.In France, the national pulmonary hypertension referral centre offers genetic counselling and testing to adults and children. Predictive testing is also proposed to adult relatives at risk of carrying a predisposing mutation. In that context, we offer all asymptomatic BMPR2 mutation carriers a programme to detect pulmonary arterial hypertension at an early phase, as recommended by the 2015 European Society Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society pulmonary hypertension guidelines. Finally, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis has been conducted on five embryos from two couples in which the fathers were carriers of a pathogenic BMPR2 mutation.
Zoilo, Costantino e le fores martyrum catanesi. Ancora sull'epigrafe di Iulia Florentina
Authors: Soraci Cristina 
Published: September 2017

Riassunto:
La piccola Iulia Florentina fu seppellita, come recita la nota iscrizione catanese che la commemora, davanti alle fores martyrum, sulla cui ubicazione si è molto discusso; secondo l'ipotesi avanzata nel presente studio, che offre una lettura del tradito CVAX diversa da quelle finora proposte, tali fores sarebbero gli archi posti nella zona compresa tra quella che un tempo era chiamata la „Strada degli Archi“ e il cosiddetto „Carcere di sant'Agata“, che, a nostro avviso, doveva essere il luogo in cui furono custodite, già in età costantiniana, le spoglie della patrona di Catania e forse anche di Euplo.
L'inumazione della bimba avvenne in epoca costantiniana, come appare dalla menzione, nell'epigrafe, della carica di corrector attribuita ad un certo Zoilo; l'insolito ricorso al funzionario provinciale quale elemento di datazione va attribuito, a nostro avviso, ad una volontà ‚propagandistica‘, tesa ad esaltare l'attività dello stesso Zoilo e, indirettamente, di Costantino, in favore dei cristiani di Catania.
Rationale Arzneimittelversorgung – ein globales Problem
Authors: Schaaber Jörg 
Published: September 2017

Zusammenfassung
Global ist für viele Menschen der Zugang zu Medikamenten nicht gewährleistet. Aber auch in reichen Ländern wird die Finanzierbarkeit des Gesundheitssystems diskutiert. Dabei spielt die rationale Auswahl der Therapien eine Schlüsselrolle. Transparenz ist eine unabdingbare Voraussetzung dafür. Die Zulassungspolitik kann ebenfalls zu einer rationalen Therapie beitragen. Da viele Krankheiten noch nicht (gut) behandelbar sind, sind auch Fragen der Steuerung und Finanzierung der Forschung wichtig.

An Imaginative Exercise for Teaching Transaction Cycles in an AIS Course
Authors: Walters Melissa 
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACT
An understanding of transaction cycle processes is requisite knowledge for accounting professionals and core content within most undergraduate accounting information systems (AIS) courses. However, effectively covering transaction cycle processes within an AIS course can be a difficult, time-consuming, and tedious task. This paper describes a simple but versatile instructional exercise developed to facilitate practical understanding of transaction cycle processes while reducing the tedium of covering this material in class. This paper discusses the rationale for the transaction cycle exercise, exercise learning objectives, exercise implementation, and exercise efficacy. The transaction cycle exercise and teaching notes are available on the AIS Educator Association website (www.aiseducators.com).
The Expanded Risk Horizon of Accounting Networks Utilizing Wireless Technology
Authors: Fordham David R. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
One of the major professional responsibilities of accountants and auditors is to identify and evaluate the risks in accounting information systems. More and more accounting systems are utilizing wireless data links, including 802.11 “wi-fi” segments. Because of marketing claims and personal experiences, it is widely believed by both professionals and the public that today's 802.11 wireless equipment has an operational range of well under 500 feet. This paper reports on an experiment which established reliable, high-speed connections across a distance of 56 miles using commercial off-the-shelf equipment. The results provide empirical evidence that the risk of undetected eavesdropping on modern Wi-Fi network transmissions extends to at least a thousand times as far as the commonly-recognized range of these networks. This experiment vividly demonstrates the possibility that accounting data is at risk well outside the normal sphere of expected vulnerability recognized by auditors and systems evaluators. Without a full understanding of characteristics of wireless data transfer, accountants and auditors could easily fail in their evaluation and assessment of the safety, integrity, and security of the accounting system.

A view from the vendor’s side: factors that determine satisfaction
Authors: Gopalakrishnan Shanthi , Guilbault Melodi , Ojha Abhoy K. 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
With the growth in outsourcing it is imperative to understand the vendor’s satisfaction with IT outsourcing relationships since contractual and relationship factors affect the ability of vendors and clients to work together over time. A recent study demonstrated that relational factors such as trust and information exchange dominated in their ability to explain client satisfaction when compared to contractual factors. The purpose of this paper is to further examine how the relational factors work together to lead to vendor satisfaction in an outsourcing relationship.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey was developed and pre-tested with vendors in India and client firms in the USA that used international IT vendors. Using data collected from 214 vendor firms in the Indian subcontinent the paper examines the main effect of two client focused variables, namely, competence-based trust and client dependence on vendor satisfaction; it also explores whether social control moderate the main effect relationships.

Findings
The findings indicate that client dependence and competence-based trust were significant direct predictors of vendor satisfaction. Social control or the ability to resolve conflicts positively moderated the effect client dependence on vendor satisfaction. But it did not impact the effect of competence-based trust on vendor satisfaction.

Research limitations/implications
The authors identify three limitations: a dyadic analysis using both the client and the vendor perspective would have provided a richer understanding of the relationship; since the data were collected on a cross-sectional basis, it is hard to make predictive assessments; and a limited response rate.

Practical implications
These findings help us understand the factors that impact vendor satisfaction in an outsourcing relationship and this is one of the keys to maintaining a long-term relationship between transacting parties.

Originality/value
Previous studies have explored the relational aspects of a vendor-client interaction from the client’s point of view and, here, the authors take the vendor’s perspective, which is increasingly important due to the increasing complexity of work outsourced. Besides exploring the direct effect competence-based trust and client dependence on vendor satisfaction, the authors also analyze the role of social control as a moderator.

Published: September 2017

Abstract
Background: Gene expression profiling has made considerable contributions to our understanding of cancer biology and clinical care. This study describes a novel gene expression signature for breast cancer–specific survival that was validated using external datasets.
Methods: Gene expression signatures for invasive breast carcinomas (mainly luminal B subtype) corresponding to 136 patients were analyzed using Cox regression, and the effect of each gene on disease-specific survival (DSS) was estimated. Iterative Bayesian model averaging was applied on multivariable Cox regression models resulting in an 18-marker panel, which was validated using three external validation datasets. The 18 genes were analyzed for common pathways and functions using the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software. This study complied with the REMARK criteria.
Results: The 18-gene multivariable model showed a high predictive power for DSS in the training and validation cohort and a clear stratification between high- and low-risk patients. The differentially expressed genes were predominantly involved in biological processes such as cell cycle, DNA replication, recombination, and repair. Furthermore, the majority of the 18 genes were found to play a pivotal role in cancer.
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that the 18 molecular markers were strong predictors of breast cancer–specific mortality. The stable time-dependent area under the ROC curve function (AUC(t)) and high C-indices in the training and validation cohorts were further improved by fitting a combined model consisting of the 18-marker panel and established clinical markers.
Impact: Our work supports the applicability of this 18-marker panel to improve clinical outcome prediction for breast cancer patients. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 26(11); 1619–28. ©2017 AACR.
The Murder of the Innocents in the Saturnalia and the Religion of Macrobius
Authors: Prchlík Ivan 
Published: September 2017

Summary:
Macrobius' allusion to the Murder of the Innocents is considered by Alan Cameron as evidence of his having been a Christian. The murder itself, however, appears in various versions in several sources, and Macrobius thus need not have depended on Matthew who himself could only have adapted material from an originally non-Christian source. The notion of Macrobius' Christianity is not unambiguously supported either by any other indicia produced by Cameron. Charles Hedrick's overall view of the Saturnalia appears preferable to that of Cameron.
