Authors: Rathod Chirag B. , Bhatt Nishithkumar H. 
Published: June 2017

After the government’s decision to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) in the retail sector, attention has been focused on this sector. This is a red signal for the organised and unorganised players in India as the weapon of private label will be a game changer in the near future. Private labels are not new to the Indian consumers as most of the Indian giants have equipped their stores with it. Private labels in food and grocery have been successful in the Indian market and brands in many more categories have come into the world’s largest consumer market. Private label studies have investigated grocery products, food products and routine consumables like dairy products and staples. The main objective of the research is to find out the role of psychological factors in purchase behaviour with reference to private label apparels. It further investigates the reliability and validity of the scale designed to measure the psychological factor responsible for private label apparel purchase behaviour. After review of literature, focus group and expert discussions were conducted to identify psychological factors and their influence on private label brand purchase behaviour. A total of 9 psychological factors were derived after the preliminary study and were included in the questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed using five-point Likert scale and survey was carried out in different organised apparel retail stores in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Abstract
A series of halogen substituted nickel tmtaa (tmtaa: 7,16-dihydro-6,8,15,17-tetramethyldibenzo-[b,i][1,4,8,11] tetraazacyclotetradecine) complexes ([Ni(tmtaa-4X)], X = F, Cl, Br, I) have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallographic structure analysis. It was found that [Ni(tmtaa-4F)] formed one-dimensional stacked structure, [Ni(tmtaa-4Cl)] exhibited polymorphism, and [Ni(tmtaa-4Br)] and [Ni(tmtaa-4I)] incorporated crystallization solvent in its crystals. In particular, crystal to crystal phase transition was observed in [Ni(tmtaa-4Br)].
A giant spurrey on a tiny island: On the phylogenetic position of Sanctambrosia manicata (Caryophyllaceae) and the generic circumscriptions of Spergula, Spergularia and Rhodalsine
Authors: Kool Anneleen , Thulin Mats 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThe only member of the generally herbaceous family Caryophyllaceae that may grow to a small tree is Sanctambrosia manicata, endemic to remote San Ambrosio Island, off the coast of Chile. The monospecific Sanctambrosia has been suggested to be closely related to Spergula and Spergularia (spurreys) on the basis of morphology, despite its treelike habit and gynodioecy. A plastid DNA dataset (ndhF, rps16, trnL-F) is used to investigate the relationships of Sanctambrosia and other members of Sperguleae. Sanctambrosia manicata is shown to be nested in a clade of New World and Australian Spergularia and the new combination Spergularia manicata is proposed. The volcanic San Ambrosio has been estimated to be almost three million years old, and S. manicata presumably evolved its treelike habit and gynodioecy over a short period of time. Spergula and Spergularia are monophyletic and recognizable by their number of carpels, five in Spergula and three in Spergularia. Spergularia fallax, which resembles Spergula in leaf characters, is shown to be sister to all other species of Spergularia. Minuartia subg. Rhodalsine belongs in Sperguleae and is sister to Spergula and Spergularia together, which supports the recent resurrection of Rhodalsine at the generic level.

Published: June 2017

Não foram identificados, na literatura de marketing, estudos que se debruçassem sobre a aquisição de educação privada como forma de consumo. Este estudo buscou investigar significados atribuídos à educação privada por famílias pertencentes à nova classe média brasileira, a partir de uma abordagem interpretativa, recorrendo à sociologia da educação de Bourdieu como base para a investigação empírica. Foram entrevistados em profundidade pais e mães, de famílias pertencentes aos estratos inferiores da classe média, que dedicavam uma parcela do orçamento familiar a gastos com educação privada para seus filhos. Emergiram dos relatos temas como percepção sobre a qualidade de ensino e aquisição de capitais social e cultural para os filhos matriculados em instituições privadas. Os resultados do estudo estão alinhados com as propostas de Bourdieu e mostram que a aquisição de educação privada encontra-se intimamente ligada ao processo de ascensão social daquele segmento da população.

Quasi-periodic changes of the geomagnetic field and plasma parameters in the range of Pc 5 pulsations, which occurred immediately after the interaction of interplanetary shock (IPS) with Earth’s magnetosphere in the event of April 24, 2009 at 00:53 UT are examined using ground and satellite observations. The pulsations were localized at latitudes 66–74° in the noon (11 MLT) and evening (20 MLT) sectors. The analysis of hodographs of the geomagnetic field changes both from satellite and ground observations has shown the presence of vortical disturbances. In this event, both the IPS front in the interplanetary medium and the compression wave front in the magnetosphere had a slope in the ZGSM=0 plane; the inclination angle was 14° in the interplanetary medium and 34° in the magnetosphere.
The location of the vortical disturbances in the magnetosphere at different radial distances, i.e. X~5.5 Re in the noon sector and X ~–6.3 ÷–7.3 Re in the evening sector, is in agreement with the front inclination. As inferred from satellite observations, the maximum intensity of wave disturbances in both the sectors was registered in the toroidal component of the magnetic field. This suggests the resonant mechanism of excitation of these disturbances. The analysis of distribution of velocities of plasma flow and compression wave front propagation in the magnetosphere’s equatorial plane has revealed that the vortical disturbances occurred in regions where these velocities were noticeably different in magnitude.

Aims The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a femoral nerve block and a periarticular infiltration in the management of early post-operative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients and Methods A pragmatic, single centre, two arm parallel group, patient blinded, randomised controlled trial was undertaken. All patients due for TKA were eligible. Exclusion criteria included contraindications to the medications involved in the study and patients with a neurological abnormality of the lower limb. Patients received either a femoral nerve block with 75 mg of 0.25% levobupivacaine hydrochloride around the nerve, or periarticular infiltration with 150 mg of 0.25% levobupivacaine hydrochloride, 10 mg morphine sulphate, 30 mg ketorolac trometamol and 0.25 mg of adrenaline all diluted with 0.9% saline to make a volume of 150 ml. Results A total of 264 patients were recruited and data from 230 (88%) were available for the primary analysis. Intention-to-treat analysis of the primary outcome measure of a visual analogue score for pain on the first post-operative day, prior to physiotherapy, was similar in both groups. The mean difference was -0.7 (95% confidence interval (CI) -5.9 to 4.5; p = 0.834). The periarticular group used less morphine in the first post-operative day compared with the femoral nerve block group (74%, 95% CI 55 to 99). The femoral nerve block group reported 39 adverse events, of which 27 were serious, in 31 patients and the periarticular group reported 51 adverse events, of which 38 were serious, in 42 patients up to six weeks post-operatively. None of the adverse events were directly attributed to either of the interventions under investigation. Conclusion Periarticular infiltration is a viable and safe alternative to femoral nerve block for the early post-operative relief of pain following TKA.

AimsTo assess the long-term effect of distal trochanteric transfer (DTT) on the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with Legg-Calvé-Perthes’ disease (LCPD) following a varus derotational osteotomy (VDRO).Patients and MethodsFor this single centre cross-sectional retrospective study we analysed the data of 22 patients (24 hips) with LCPD who had greater trochanteric overgrowth (GTO), following a VDRO performed in our institution between 1959 and 1983. GTO was defined as an articular trochanteric distance (ATD) of < 5 mm. We compared the radiographic and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent DTT for GTO (ten patients, ten hips) with those who did not (12 patients, 14 hips). Age at presentation was 6.9 years (4 to 10) and 8.0 years (3.2 to 12) respectively. Symptoms associated with the hip and general quality of life were assessed using the Harris hip score (HHS) and the Short Form (SF)-36 questionnaires.ResultsAt long-term follow-up of the DTT group, the ATD was 21.7 mm (standard deviation (sd) 9.8) and the centro-trochanteric distance (CTD) was 13.8 mm (sd 8.3). In the control group the ATD was -0.6 mm (sd 7.8) and the CTD was 32.5 mm (sd 10.2). These differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). The mean HHS and SF-36 scores were 68.4 (sd 25.0) and 62.0 (sd 27.7) for the DTT group and 73.2 (sd 24.2) and 73.3 (sd 21.5) for the control group, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the HHS (p = 0.63) or SF-36 score (p = 0.25). There were four patients who had undergone hip arthroplasty in the DTT group (40%) and one patient (7.1%) in the control group (p = 0.07). The mean age at the time of arthroplasty was 45.3 years (42.1 to 56.5) and 43.6 years respectively. Six patients in the DTT group suffered from moderate to severe osteoarthritis (Tönnis grade 2 or 3) compared with eight patients in the control group (60% versus 57.1%, p = 0.61).ConclusionAlthough DTT improved the radiographic results in the long-term follow-up of patients with GTO following VDRO, there was no clinical benefit seen in the HHS, SF-36 or incidence of osteoarthritis compared with patients who had not undergone DTT.

INTRODUCTION This paper reviews the impact of the stage of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease on the outcome of surgical sepsis. METHODS All adult emergency general surgical patients (aged >15 years) who fulfilled the criteria for sepsis or septic shock, with a documented surgical source of infection, and who were HIV positive were reviewed. RESULTS During the 5-year study period, a total of 675 patients with a documented surgical source of sepsis were managed by our service; 142 (21%) of these were HIV positive. Among the individuals who were HIV positive, the CD4 count was <200 cells/µl in 21 patients and ≥200 cells/µl in 121 patients. There was no difference between these two cohorts in terms of demography or spectrum of surgical conditions. The range of surgical procedures and complications was also similar in both groups. Nevertheless, patients with a CD count of <200 cells/µl had a significantly longer length of hospital stay than those in the cohort with ≥200 cells/µl. For HIV positive patients with a CD4 count of <200 cells/µl, the mortality rate was 66.7% (14/21) while the mortality rate for individuals with HIV and a CD4 count of ≥200 cells/µl was 2.5% (2/121). This difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The clinical presentation and spectrum of surgical sepsis disease in cases with stage 1 and stage 2 HIV is not markedly different. However, in patients with a CD4 count of <200 cells/µl, the length of hospital stay and mortality is significantly higher. Stage of HIV disease must be considered when stratifying patients’ risk for surgery.

INTRODUCTION Postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has three components: parietal, visceral and referred pain felt at the shoulder. Visceral peritoneal injury on the liver (Glisson’s capsule) during cauterisation sometimes occurs as an unavoidable complication of the operation. Its effect on postoperative pain has not been quantified. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between Glisson’s capsule injury and postoperative pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS The study was a prospective case–control of planned standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy with standardized anaesthesia protocol in patients with benign gallbladder disease. Visual analogue scale (VAS) abdominal pain scores were noted at 2 and 24 hours after the operation. One surgical team performed the operations. Operative videos were recorded and examined later by another team to detect presence of Glisson’s capsule cauterisation. Eighty-one patients were enrolled into the study. After examination of the operative videos, 46 patients with visceral peritoneal injury were included in the study group, and the remaining 35 formed the control group. RESULTS VAS pain score at postoperative 2 and 24 hours was significantly higher in the study group than control (P = 0.027 and 0.017, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Glisson’s capsule cauterisation in laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with increased postoperative pain. Additional efforts are recommended to prevent unintentional cauterisation.

INTRODUCTION Many studies have addressed the accuracy of prognostic scoring systems in the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancers as a whole but few have addressed this issue in patients with follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) alone. The aim of this study was to establish the accuracy of the various scoring systems in determining the overall and disease free survival of FTC patients in Singapore. METHODS Retrospective review was undertaken of 82 patients with FTC treated at a single tertiary institution between January 2000 and December 2014. Demographic, clinical, pathological and treatment outcomes were analysed. Prognostic scoring systems evaluated for the cohort included TNM (Tumour, Nodes, Metastases), AGES (Age, Grade, Extent, Size), MACIS (Metastases, Age, Completeness of resection, Invasion, Size), AMES (Age, Metastases, Extent, Sex) and EORTC (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer). Statistical analysis was performed by plotting Kaplan–Meier survival curves and using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS There were 29 male and 53 female patients with a mean age of 48 years. The mean follow-up duration was 88 months and there were 7 deaths (9%). The ten-year overall survival rate was 90%. Factors predictive of survival on univariate analysis were age, size of tumour, invasiveness, completeness of resection, metastasis, external beam radiotherapy, and risk scores using the AGES and MACIS scoring systems (p<0.05). On multivariate analysis, AGES and MACIS provided the best prognostic information. CONCLUSIONS MACIS is the best prognostic scoring system currently available for FTC and it is superior to other scoring systems in term of guiding management. The scoring systems require further development to accommodate variations in clinical practice globally and to improve the prognostic accuracy.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the literature about the factors that drive patients toward satisfaction after orthodontic treatment. Material and Methods: The review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42013004528). Four databases as well as the reference lists and citations of the included publications were searched according to PRISMA guidelines, yielding 6.387 titles and abstracts. Two reviewers performed data collection independently and a third reviewer was included, if there was no consensus. Results: Nine surveys (2.742 participants) remained after data extraction and interpretation. A total of 14 findings were abstracted from the reports and were grouped together into 4 topics that were judged to be similar: treatment, aesthetics, function and social well-being. The main findings for adherence based on their calculated frequency effect sizes were: self-perception of esthetics of teeth (44%); harmony of the teeth with other structures of the face (44%); alignment of anterior teeth (33%); greater comfort, absence of pain and improved chewing/ eating (33%); social well-being (33%); treatment was worth it (33%). Conclusion: Despite the few studies and limitations related to the report and data quality, the evidence showed the main factor leading to patient satisfaction was improved aesthetics. Chewing, absence of pain, social wellbeing and the way treatment was conducted were highlighted as reasons for patient satisfaction after orthodontic treatment.
