Published: October 2014

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To assess soft tissues in the short and long term after bimaxillary surgery in Class III patients by comparing the hard tissue changes and results between time periods.

Materials and Methods:
Twenty-six Class III adult patients treated with bimaxillary surgery were included in the study. Cephalometric records were taken before surgery (T1) and 5 months (T2), 1.4 years (T3), 3 years (T4), and 5 years (T5) after surgery.

Results:
There was no significant relapse in skeletal parameters. Overjet was significantly reduced between T4-T3 time intervals (P &lt; .01). There were significant increases in Sn-HR, ULA-HR, LLA-HR, B-B∧ (P &lt; .01), and B∧-HR (P &lt; .05) between T4-T3 time intervals. There was no significant change in the soft tissue parameters between T5-T4 time intervals.

Conclusion:
Soft tissue vertical relapse occurs in skeletally stabile Class III bimaxillary surgery patients in the first 3 years after surgery.

Study Design Systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies. Objectives To quantify the prognosis of physical function following ankle fracture. Background Information about the course of recovery of physical function after ankle fracture is essential for patient care and health care policy. The existing data have not previously been included in a meta-analysis. Methods Studies were identified using searches of electronic databases (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PEDro, AMED, SPORTDiscus) and gray literature to September 2012. Studies of people with traumatic ankle fracture were included. Two reviewers independently screened references for inclusion, then extracted data and evaluated risk of bias. The outcome of interest was physical function (physical activity and activity limitation). Outcomes were converted to a common 100-point scale, on which higher scores indicated better outcomes. Meta-regression was conducted using generalized estimating equations. Results Thirty-one studies (37 articles) were included. Adults with ankle fracture, present with significant activity limitation in the short term (mean at 1 month, 31.9; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 18.8, 45.1), recovered markedly but incompletely in the short to medium term (mean at 6 months, 78.3; 95% CI: 70.1, 85.1), and showed little further improvement in the long term (mean at 24 months, 86.6; 95% CI: 78.2, 95.0). Studies with older participants and predominantly male participants tended to report worse functional outcomes. Conclusion Adults typically experience a rapid initial recovery of physical function after ankle fracture (approximately 80% function at 6 months), but, on average, recovery remains incomplete 24 months after injury.

Determination of Organic Acids in Wine and Spirit Drinks by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy
Authors: Regmi Umesh , Rai Krishna Prasad , Palma Miguel 
Published: October 2014

This study outlines the use of FTIR with partial least square (PLS) method and data obtained from the reference method is used to establish a full calibration model for tartaric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, citric acid and acetic acid using all matrix. It was not possible to obtain only one calibration for all analysed samples, but in some cases individual calibrations for specific samples were needed. It was due to the different matrixes in the studies samples: 12-15% ethanol (wines), 30-40% ethanol (spirits). Due to this reason, a calibration model was developed for each acid in red and white wine, and acetic acid in spirit drinks. During validation, strong correlation with the reference values and great accuracy were demonstrated for the higher concentration range (>0.6 g/L) in all acids while inferior result was obtained in low range (<0.6 g/L). But good result was obtained in lower concentration level both in wine and spirits in acetic acid, which explains that calibration and validation of the FTIR spectrometry depends very strongly on the composition of the sample set and on the quality of the reference analysis. The correlations for organic acids could further be improved with a more complete well distribution data base and optimizing wavelengths. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jfstn.v7i0.10564 J. Food Sci.

Effect of Combinative Pretreatments on Cellulose-to-Glucose Conversion of Empty Palm Fruit Bunch (EFB)
Authors: Timilsena Yakindra Prasad , Brosse Nicolas 
Published: October 2014

Various methods of pretreatments were investigated to their effect on cellulose to glucose conversion efficiency on enzymatic hydrolysis of a tropical agro-industrial waste residue (empty palm fruit bunch, EFB). Four different kinds of combinative pretreatments (autohydrolysis with and without naphthol, dilute acid prehydrolysis, soda prehydrolysis and enzymatic prehydrolysis) were tested for delignification during the first and the second steps of pretreatment. Each prehydrolysis step was seconded by the organosolv delignification with the same conditions of pretreatment. It was observed that all the combinative methods were far more efficient in delignification and enzymatic hydrolysis ability as compared to its one step counter parts. The combinative pretreatment method involving dilute acid prehydrolysis followed by organosolv delignification revealed the best result with respect to lignin removal and enzymatic hydrolysis. The resultant pulp contained very low Klason lignin (~5%) with high sugar conversion ratio (64% total reducing sugars). DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jfstn.v7i0.10613 J. Food Sci. Technol.

Authors: Thapa Krishtina , Shrestha Sonu 
Published: October 2014

Different types of ice cream samples were collected from three different local vendors of Kathmandu (i.e. Samakhusi, Jawalakhel and Chabahil) for the microbial examination. Study explored that the ice cream samples from Chabahil showed the presence of highest number of mesophilic microorganisms with an average of 2.16×107 CFU/ml and 27.4 CFU/100ml of Coliform followed by samples collected from Jawalakhel and Samakhusi. The samples have been found to be contaminated with Coliforms (Enterobacter spp., Escherichia spp., Klebsiella spp., Citrobacter spp.), Salmonella (Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi, Salmonella enteritidis), Shigella (Shigella boydii, Shigella flexneri, Shigella sonnei, Shigella dysenteriae) and Staphylococcus aureus. These findings indicated that not only the unhygienic practices of handling by the vendors but also the carelessness of manufacturers during processing of ice creams.

Decreased incidence of venous thromboembolism after spine surgery with early multimodal prophylaxis
Authors: Cox J. Bridger , Weaver Kristin J. , Neal Daniel W. , Jacob R. Patrick , Hoh Daniel J. 
Published: October 2014

Object
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) represents a significant complication after spine surgery, with reported rates as high as 2%–4%. Published institutional practices for VTE prophylaxis are highly variable. In 2008, the authors implemented a departmental protocol for early VTE prophylaxis consisting of combined compressive devices and subcutaneous heparin initiated either preoperatively or on the same day of surgery. In this study, the authors compared the incidence of VTE in spine surgery patients before and after implementing this protocol.

Methods
An institutional review board–approved retrospective review of outcomes in patients undergoing spine surgery 2 years before protocol implementation (representing the preprotocol group) and of outcomes in patients treated 2 years thereafter (the postprotocol group) was conducted. Inclusion criteria were that patients were 18 years or older and had been admitted for 1 or more days. Before 2008 (preprotocol), VTE prophylaxis was variable and provider dependent without any uniform protocol. Since 2008 (postprotocol), a new VTE-prophylaxis protocol was administered, starting either preoperatively or on the same day of surgery and continuing throughout hospitalization. The new protocol consisted of 5000 U heparin administered subcutaneously 3 times daily, except in patients older than 75 years or weighing less than 50 kg, who received this dose twice daily. All patients also received sequential compression devices (SCDs). The incidence of VTE in the 2 protocol phases was identified by codes of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolus (PE). Bleeding complications arising from anticoagulation treatments were evaluated by the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for postoperative epidural hematoma (EDH) requiring evacuation.

Results
In total, 941 patients in the preprotocol group met the inclusion criteria: 25 had DVT (2.7%), 6 had PE (0.6%), and 6 had postoperative EDH (0.6%). In the postprotocol group, 992 patients met the criteria: 10 had DVT (1.0%), 5 had PE (0.5%), and 4 had postoperative EDH (0.4%). This reduction in DVT after the protocol's implementation was statistically significant (p = 0.009). Despite early aggressive prophylaxis, the incidence of postoperative EDH did not increase and compared favorably to the published literature.

Conclusions
At a high-volume tertiary center, an aggressive protocol for early VTE prophylaxis after spine surgery decreases VTE incidence without increasing morbidity.
Citation Analysis in Health Care Sciences
Authors: Rigby M. 
Published: October 2014

SummaryBackground: Citations of scientific papers in health care have become a subject of interest, as in any scientific sector. However, such a metric, while useful in a simple way, can become subject to too much credibility, and therefore to advanced analyses which are not soundly grounded even if methodologically valid.Objectives: The objective was to contextual-ise citation indices in health care science, juxtaposed with a parallel analytic paper.Methods: The literature was reviewed and set against the objectives of metrics of literature and of researchers.Results: The strengths and weaknesses of citation indices in the health sector were identified, with practical examples of perverse effects, and compared with the core objectives of health care development.Conclusions: Citation indices in health care science have a value, but this is limited to giving a broad overview. Other measures of effectiveness, including impact on education, on health care development, and on stimulation of applied developments, are needed rather than spuriously scientific advanced analyses of citation counts.

Aventures de trois Russes et de trois Anglais dans l'Afrique australe . Les enjeux de la chasse chez Jules Verne
Authors: Guillaume Isabelle 
Published: October 2014

Aventures de trois Russes et de trois Anglais dans l’Afrique australe (1872) est construit comme un récit de voyage fictif sur les traces de Livingstone et comme un roman scientifique qui retrace le calcul d’un méridien terrestre. Il se lit aussi comme une grande partie de chasse au gibier africain. Les ressources didactiques et romanesques du thème, l’inspiration puisée dans des succès éditoriaux signés par des chasseurs (Baldwin et Cumming notamment) ne suffisent pas à expliquer ce parti pris d’un romancier qui a déclaré qu’il « n’aime pas les chasseurs ». Chasses africaines et armement européen traduisent l’ambiguïté de Verne à l’égard du modèle occidental qui progresse alors sur le globe. Ils reflètent aussi l’évolution d’un écrivain qui déconstruit ici le roman colonial dont il a lui-même lancé la vogue avec Cinq semaines en ballon .

Educational Objectives

As a result of reading this article, physicians should be able to:

1.
Identify the available types of reconstruction for failed total hip arthroplasty.

2.
Summarize the preoperative workup of patients with failed total hip arthroplasty and massive proximal femoral bone loss.

3.
Assess the surgical technique of proximal femoral replacement for failed total hip arthroplasty.

4.
Recognize treatment complications, patient outcomes, and survival of proximal femoral megaprostheses for revision of failed total hip arthroplasty.

Despite recent advances in device manufacturing and surgical techniques, the management of proximal femoral bone loss in revision total hip arthroplasty remains challenging. Currently, failed total hip arthroplasty in elderly and less active patients, nonunion of the proximal femur with multiple failed attempts at osteosynthesis, resection arthroplasty, and massive proximal femoral bone loss can be salvaged with proximal femoral replacement using a megaprosthesis. The procedure is technically demanding and requires careful preoperative planning. Instability and aseptic loosening are the major complications, especially in younger and more active patients. The new generation of modular proximal femoral replacement megaprostheses and the increased experience obtained with these surgeries have reduced complication rates and improved outcomes. [

Bilateral Mobile Thoracolithiasis
Authors: Bhayana Rajesh , Chen Yingming Amy , Deva Djeven Parameshvara 
Published: October 2014

Thoracolithiasis is the presence of one or more freely mobile pleural stones (with or without calcification) in the pleural space. They occur with a reported incidence of less than 0.1% and are benign and do not require intervention. Historically, they have led to unnecessary interventions - something unlikely in the era of multidetector computed tomography (CT). Thoracolithiasis should be included in the differential diagnosis of a single or multiple, mobile peripheral pulmonary nodules. Here, we review the imaging characteristics of a rare case of bilateral mobile thoracolithiasis.

Closed Blood Conservation Device for Reducing Catheter-Related Infections in Children After Cardiac Surgery
Authors: Tang Menglin , Feng Mei , Chen Lijun , Zhang Jinmei , Ji Peng , Luo Shuhua 
Published: October 2014

Background
Arterial catheters are potential sources of nosocomial infection.

Objective
To investigate use of a closed blood conservation device in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections in children after cardiac surgery.

Methods
Children with an indwelling arterial catheter after cardiac surgery were randomly assigned to 2 groups: a control group with a conventional 3-way stopcock in the catheter system and an interventional group with the conservation device in the catheter system. Catheter tips, catheter intraluminal fluid, and blood samples obtained from the catheter and peripherally were cultured for microbiological analysis. RESULTS Intraluminal fluid contamination was significantly lower (P = .03) in the interventional group (3 of 147 catheters) than in the control group (10 of 137 catheters). The 2 groups did not differ significantly in the rate of tip colonization (9 of 147 vs 12 of 137; P = .40) or in the number of catheter-related bloodstream infections (0 of 147 vs 2 of 137; P = .21).

Conclusion
Use of a closed blood conservation device could decrease the incidence of catheter-related contamination of intraluminal fluid.
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Times From Venipuncture Versus Central Venous Catheter Specimens in Adults Receiving Continuous Heparin Infusions
Authors: Dailey Mary Sue , Berger Barbara , Dabu Fortunata 
Published: October 2014

BackgroundIn patients receiving heparin infusions, variations in specimen collection technique may contribute to inaccurate measurements of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT).ObjectivesTo determine if there is a difference in aPTT results between specimens collected from a central venous access device (CVAD) compared with venipuncture in patients receiving heparin infusions.MethodsSimultaneous blood samples (CVAD vs venipuncture) from 66 patients receiving continuous heparin infusions were compared.ResultsThe mean aPTT difference (peripheral aPTT minus CVAD aPTT) was −7.3 seconds (P=.07). Neither length of time heparin was turned off (P=.18) nor waste volume (P=.32) was significantly associated with the difference in aPTT. The median aPTT difference when the CVAD specimen was obtained from the heparin infusion port was −20.5 seconds, compared with −0.1, −3.0, and −0.2 seconds for specimens from a port proximal to, distal to, or coterminal with the heparin infusion, respectively (P=.008).ConclusionsUse of this protocol resulted in similar aPTTs when the CVAD specimen was not obtained from the heparin infusion port. However, obtaining the specimen from the heparin infusion port resulted in significantly higher aPTT values.

Published: October 2014

BackgroundMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a virulent organism causing substantial morbidity and mortality in intensive care units. Chlorhexidine gluconate, a topical antiseptic solution, is effective against a wide spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including MRSA. Objectives To examine the impact of a bathing protocol using chlorhexidine gluconate and bath basin management on MRSA acquisition in 5 adult intensive care units and to examine the cost differences between chlorhexidine bathing by using the bath-basin method versus using prepackaged chlorhexidine-impregnated washcloths.MethodsThe protocol used a 4-oz bottle of 4% chlorhexidine gluconate soap in a bath basin of warm water. Patients in 3 intensive care units underwent active surveillance for MRSA acquisition; patients in 2 other units were monitored for a new positive culture for MRSA at any site 48 hours after admission.ResultsBefore the protocol, 132 patients acquired MRSA in 34333 patient days (rate ratio, 3.84). Afterwards, 109 patients acquired MRSA in 41376 patient days (rate ratio, 2.63). The rate ratio difference is 1.46 (95% CI, 1.12–1.90; P = .003). The chlorhexidine soap and bath basin method cost $3.18 as compared with $5.52 for chlorhexidine-impregnated wipes (74% higher).ConclusionsThe chlorhexidine bathing protocol is easy to implement, cost-effective, and led to decreased unit-acquired MRSA rates in a variety of adult intensive care units.
