Evaluation of anthropometric measurements of central obesity as screening tools in children: multi receiver operating characteristic analysis
Authors: Bullappa Asha , B. R. Harish , B. J. Mahendra 
Published: December 2016

Background: Obesity in children is often expressed by indicators like Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference, Waist-to-Hip ratio etc. Each of these has its own merits and demerits. Among these, BMI is commonly used to assess overweight/obesity but the central obesity is more important than the body mass as it has shown strong association with risk for coronary heart disease, adverse lipid profile and hyper insulinaemia in children. The objectives were to assess the validity of waist-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, conicity index as indicators of central obesity in children as measured by waist circumference.Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted on 4663 students who were enrolled in 8th to 10th standard of government and private schools of Mandya city. Weight, height, waist and hip circumference are measured following WHO guidelines. The data was analyzed using mean, standard deviation, proportion, cut off, sensitivity, and specificity. ROC curves were drawn to assess the validity of the anthropometric measurements.Results: Using the WC percentiles given by Kuriyan R, the prevalence of overweight/obesity was found to be 7.59% with 8.85% in girls and 6.03% in boys. Waist-to-Height ratio performed significantly better than waist-to-hip ratio and conicity index in identifying central obesity in both girls and boys as indicated by the AUCs.Conclusions: The age and sex specific cut off points for waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio and conicity index can be used to detect overweight/obesity in Indian Children aged 11-16 years.

Published: December 2016

Gestational trohoblastic tumors are rare tumors which constitute less than 1% cancers of female reproductive system. They have varied presentations of which hydatidiform mole is most common. The incidence is higher in Asia and South America as compared to the rest of the world. We present a total of 5 cases of Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) constituting 12.2% of admissions in Gynaecology ward of a tertiary care hospital over one year. There are various risk factors which predispose to GTD include maternal age less than 20 years or more than 35 years, prior GTD, prior miscarriages, Asian ethnicity and blood group A. Commonly the woman presents with vaginal bleeding in first trimester. Sonography and β-hCG are decisive in establishing the diagnosis and further management. Follow up of the patient is very crucial. Early diagnosis and timely management results in good prognosis.

What do trade unions think about continuing education for teachers in Galicia?
Authors: Ampudia Baena , Tilve Ana M. FernÃ¡ndez , Dolores M. 
Published: December 2016

The common ups and downs of school agendas coupled with the existence of new educational challenges have created a complicated scenario that places the issue of continuing education for teaching staff directly under the spotlight. As a consequence, the role of teachers' trade unions as with other requirements of continuing education is now put centre stage. Within these considerations, we have carried out an unprecedented and ongoing survey in Galicia with the intention of taking a closer look at continuing education for non-university teachers promoted by trade union organisations. For this purpose we put forth a qualitative and quantitative methodological approach while using documentary analysis as a tool for gathering data as well as discussion groups and Likert type assessment scale questionnaires. In this essay we provide the data obtained during the intensive-qualitative stage of the investigation. The resulting findings although provisional and partial reveal that an improvement in students' education should go hand in hand with the continuing education of teaching staff. It also becomes apparent that training activities are being substantially conditioned by the legislative jungle that is shrouding continuing education, by the lack of resources and by the pragmatic lines followed by the Education Administration. Furthermore, certain pending issues are cropping up such as the need to channel learned contents into our classrooms, to satisfy the emerging concerns of training recipients regarding their training, to perform follow-up and evaluation tasks regarding the training actions that are being undertaken and to strive for an improved coordination between management staff, users and knowledge workers.

Profanar cuerpos / profanar naciones. Acerca de La emancipada como novela fundacional de la literatura ecuatoriana
Authors: Marín Lara Karina 
Published: December 2016

Este trabajo pretende realizar una lectura alternativa a aquello que podemos entender como representación del cuerpo, con el fin de problematizar conceptos como los de novela fundacional y literatura nacional. Se espera formular otros modos de mirar aquellas imágenes corporales que han sido relegadas bajo los escombros ocasionados por el empeño de construcción de una historia literaria, específicamente la historia de la literatura ecuatoriana. En el caso de La emancipada de Miguel Riofrío (1863), considerada la primera novela ecuatoriana, sugiero pensar: si el cuerpo muerto y en estado de descomposición de su protagonista, Rosaura, no logra tener una apariencia decente, ¿cómo se entiende que sea ese cuerpo el que se instaure como la imagen de la consolidación de un corpus literario? ¿Cómo puede ser viable una historia literaria nacional que se funda sobre la representación de una imagen corporal desmembrada e imposible?
De la palabra hipoteca como significante al goce con el tiempo en El perseguidor: una lectura desde el psicoanálisis
Authors: Fonseca Jiménez Hernán Joaquín 
Published: December 2016

La crítica literaria ha señalado que de lo que se trata con Johnny Carter, en El perseguidor, es de la crisis espiritual de un artista; sin embargo, a partir de postulados del Psicoanálisis, como disciplina que se encarga de estudiar lo inconsciente, se puede apreciar que el músico está atravesado por una problemática que implica lo inconsciente y de la que se pueden señalar aspectos específicos para comprender las palabras, actitudes, acciones y reacciones del personaje; se trata de ofrecer una lectura que ilustre ciertos rasgos de la problemática y ayude a esclarecer de lo que se trata con el ser del sujeto-artista. Para conseguir este objetivo, el presente texto lleva a cabo una presentación de la relación significante y cuerpo en la perspectiva psicoanalítica como fundamento de una lectura alternativa del relato literario El perseguidor de Julio Cortázar. El propósito es referir cómo un significante, una palabra, toca el cuerpo del sujeto, lo traspasa y lo pone a gozar. En el caso de El perseguidor, la palabra hipoteca pone a gozar al sujeto con el tiempo. Esto significa referir el tema del goce y de qué sujeto se trata en el caso del músico: un sujeto en una crisis permanente por la incidencia significante.

Exhumación informática en el Archivo de Daniel Moyano. Una reflexión sobre soportes, materialidades y el devenir de originales y borradores
Authors: Vigna Diego 
Published: December 2016

El trabajo aborda nociones centrales en torno a los archivos de escritores a partir de una experiencia llevada a cabo en el Archivo Virtual Daniel Moyano: la recuperación de textos a partir de un dispositivo informático obsoleto. Textos que Moyano conservó en soportes de almacenamiento hoy inaccesibles y que logramos recuperar, en un trabajo conjunto entre el CRLA-Archivos (Francia) y la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Argentina). Desde un enfoque hermenéutico, la exhumación informática permitió articular con estos documentos la génesis de los procesos de ficcionalización del autor, no restringidos a textos que podrían pensarse a primera vista como literarios, con una reflexión sociotécnica sobre esas prácticas, que ha inspirado interrogantes sobre cómo ha mutado el lugar de la técnica en la relación entre arte y sociedad.

Estudio filológico para una edición crítica de Horas y Fronda lírica, de Julio Flórez
Authors: Avendaño de Barón Gloria Smith 
Published: December 2016

Con el apoyo en los planteamientos teóricos de la Edición Crítica de Textos, en el método de la Nueva Filología y en las directrices lingüísticas de la Real Academia Española, se emprendió un recorridoecdótico con miras a rescatar la obra completa del poeta colombiano Julio Flórez, desentrañar alteraciones en su proceso de transmisión editorial, depurarla, editarla e interpretarla. Algunos resultados de esa investigación mostraron inconsistencias lingüísticas y estéticas, es recurrente la introducción injustificada de variantes de tipo sustancial y accidental que, en su mayoría, alteran el sentido y el estilo poético, por ello se subsanaron en la elaboración de una edición crítica conformada por nueve libros de poesía, 120 poemas sueltos y uno inédito. En este artículo se presenta únicamente algunos comentarios sobre Horas (1893) y Fronda lírica (1908 y 1922), su tradición directa, la descripción y el análisis de variantes sustanciales y accidentales detectadas.

Published: December 2016

The procurement of good quality seeds for the development of mindi (Melia azedarach L.) in the community forest is absolutely necessary. The purpose of this research is to investigate the diversity of the viability and seedling vigor of mindi from different populations with various treatments of dormancy breaking. The sample materials were mindi seeds that were collected from 6 locations (6 seed lots) or seed sources which were located in the community forest of West Java. There are 10 treatments of dormancy breaking that were applied in this study. The experiment design was Randomized Complete Design (RAL). The breaking dormancy was focused to the delignification of hard seed coat. Results showed that the most effective dormancy breaking for mindi seed was soaking in consentrated Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) as long as 30 to 45 minutes. The first count for germination of mindi was on the 16 day and the final count was on the 31 day.The average value of germination percentage (DB) for all seed sources was 40 %, while the highest which is 60% was mindi from Sumedang seed source. The highest value of germination rate that is 6,543%/etmal was seed from Sumedangand seed from Gambung was the lowest (1,400 %/etmal). Keywords : community forest, Melia azedarach L., variation, viability, vigor.

Authors: Bass Anne R. , McHugh Kelly , Fields Kara , Goto Rie , Parks Michael L. , Goodman Susan M. 
Published: December 2016

Background:Reportedly 2% to 5.7% of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) require revision within 5 years. The purpose of this study was to determine whether blacks are at higher risk of TKA revision than whites in the United States.Methods:We performed a systematic review of English-language articles published from 2000 to 2015. Study inclusion criteria were (1) performance of the study in the United States, (2) TKA as the primary procedure studied, (3) a follow-up period at least 2 years, (4) reporting of revision rates, and (5) analysis of patient race as an independent predictor of revision. We then performed a random-effects meta-analysis to calculate a pooled hazard ratio for TKA revision in blacks compared with whites.Results:A total of 4,286 studies were identified and screened by title; 106, by abstract; and 24, by full text. Six studies met the inclusion criteria. Only 4 of the 6 studies could undergo meta-analysis because of overlapping study populations in 3 of them. The meta-analysis represented 451,960 patients who underwent TKA, of whom 28,772 (6.4%) were black. Of the total, 31,568 patients (7.0%) underwent revision surgery. The risk of revision TKA was significantly higher among blacks than whites (pooled hazard ratio, 1.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.20 to 1.58; p < 0.001). Analysis of the 3 studies with overlapping study populations demonstrated discordant results as a result of adjustment compared with non-adjustment for insurance eligibility, a surrogate for socioeconomic status.Conclusions:Blacks in the United States are at higher risk of revision TKA than whites. Socioeconomic status contributed to revision risk and is an important confounder in analyses of race.Level of Evidence:PrognosticLevel III.

Preoperative Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Venous Thromboembolism in Patients with a Hip Fracture
Authors: Shin Won Chul , Woo Seung Hun , Lee Seung-Jun , Lee Jung Sub , Kim Choongrak , Suh Kuen Tak 
Published: December 2016

Background:
This retrospective cohort study investigated the prevalence of and risk factors for preoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with a hip fracture and a delay of >24 hours from injury to surgery.

Methods:
This observational study included 208 patients with a hip fracture surgically treated at 1 university hospital between December 2010 and August 2014. Patients underwent indirect multidetector computed tomographic (MDCT) venography for preoperative VTE detection after admission. Overall VTE risk and median time from injury to CT scan were calculated. Age, sex, fracture type, time from injury to CT scan, body mass index, preinjury mobility score, previous anticoagulation treatment, previous hospitalization for VTE, varicose veins, and medical comorbidities were considered potential risk factors.

Results:
The prevalence of preoperative VTE was 11.1% (23 of 208 patients), including 12 patients with deep vein thrombosis alone, 7 patients with pulmonary embolism alone, and 4 patients with both. The mean time from injury to CT scan was 4.9 days. The delay from the time of injury to CT scan averaged 7.6 days for patients who developed preoperative VTE, compared with 4.2 days for patients who had not developed VTE. In the adjusted models, female sex, subtrochanteric fracture, pulmonary disease, cancer, previous hospitalization for VTE, and varicose veins were risk factors for VTE. The final multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 5.86; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.21 to 28.21), subtrochanteric fracture (OR = 22.17; 95% CI = 4.02 to 122.06), pulmonary disease (OR = 21.10; 95% CI = 5.35 to 83.21), and previous hospitalization for VTE (OR = 16.36; 95% CI = 3.41 to 78.43) increased the risk of VTE.

Conclusions:
Our findings show a high prevalence of preoperative VTE in patients with a hip fracture. Therefore, preoperative investigation for VTE should be routinely considered for patients in whom surgery is delayed for >24 hours. At this time, indirect MDCT venography seems to be effective and useful.
