Native and prosthetic septic arthritis in a university hospital in Saudi Arabia: A retrospective study
Authors: Kaki Reham 
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND
Septic arthritis, whether native or prosthetic, poses a significant challenge in clinical practice due to its potentially devastating consequences. Despite its clinical importance, there remains a dearth of comprehensive studies and standardized diagnostic criteria, particularly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
AIM
To investigate the epidemiology, microbiological profiles, and clinical characteristics of native and prosthetic septic joints in the Saudi Arabian population.
METHODS
Medical records of patients diagnosed with septic arthritis between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2022, were retrospectively reviewed. Data regarding patient demographics, clinical presentation, microbiological cultures, treatment modalities, and outcomes were analyzed.
RESULTS
In a retrospective review of 52 cases of septic arthritis, a balanced gender distribution was observed (1:1 ratio), with the knee being the most commonly affected joint (80.8%). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus predominated in native joints (24.2%), while Brucella spp. was more prevalent in prosthetic joints (21.1%). Joint preservation was achieved in most cases (84.6%), with no significant difference in clinical features between native and prosthetic joints. However, certain comorbidities were more common in native joint cases, including renal impairment (P = 0.002), hemodialysis (P = 0.004), heart disease (P = 0.013), and chronic liver disease (P = 0.048). At the same time, osteoarthritis was more prevalent in prosthetic joint cases (P = 0.013). Vancomycin was the most frequently used antibiotic (26.9%), and most patients received antibiotics before joint aspiration (57.7%). Surgical intervention, predominantly arthrotomy, was required in most cases (32.7%). Notably, a significant association was found between joint type and mortality (odds ratio = 0.587, P = 0.048), as well as the Charlson comorbidity index and mortality (P = 0.001).
CONCLUSION
This study highlighted distinctive microbiological profiles and etiological factors in septic arthritis cases in the Saudi Arabian population.

BACKGROUND
The sphericity of the femoral head is a metric used to evaluate hip pathologies and is associated with the development of osteoarthritis and femoral-acetabular impingement.
AIM
To analyze the three-dimensional asphericity of the femoral head of asymptomatic pediatric hips. We hypothesized that femoral head asphericity will vary significantly between male and female pediatric hips and increase with age in both sexes.
METHODS
Computed tomography scans were obtained on 158 children and adolescents from a single institution in the United States (8-18 years; 50% male) without hip pain. Proximal femoral measurements including the femoral head diameter, femoral head volume, residual volume, asphericity index, and local diameter difference were used to evaluate femoral head sphericity.
RESULTS
In both sexes, the residual volume increased by age (P < 0.05). Despite significantly smaller femoral head size in older ages (> 13 years) in females, there were no sex-differences in residual volume and aspherity index. There were no age-related changes in mean diameter difference in both sexes (P = 0.07) with no significant sex-differences across different age groups (P = 0.06). In contrast, there were significant increases in local aspherity (maximum diameter difference) across whole surface of the femoral head and all quadrants except the inferior regions in males (P = 0.03). There were no sex-differences in maximum diameter difference at any regions and age group (P > 0.05). Increased alpha angle was only correlated to increased mean diameter difference across overall surface of the femoral head (P = 0.024).
CONCLUSION
There is a substantial localized asphericity in asymptomatic hips which increases with age in. While 2D measured alpha angle can capture overall asphericity of the femoral head, it may not be sensitive enough to represent regional asphericity patterns.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, life-threatening disorder caused by abnormal histiocytes and T cell activation. In adults, it is predominantly associated with infections, cancers, and autoimmune diseases. Relapsing polychondritis (RP), another rare disease, is diagnosed based on symptoms without specific tests, featuring cartilage inflammation characterized by swelling, redness, and pain, rarely inducing HLH.
CASE SUMMARY
A 74-year-old woman visited the emergency room with a fever of 38.6 °C. Blood tests, cultures, and imaging were performed to evaluate fever. Results showed increased fluorescent antinuclear antibody levels and mild cytopenia, with no other specific findings. Imaging revealed lymph node enlargement was observed; however, biopsy results were inconclusive. Upon re-evaluation of the physical exam, inflammatory signs suggestive of RP were observed in the ears and nose, prompting a tissue biopsy for confirmation. Simultaneously, persistent fever accompanied by cytopenia prompted a bone marrow examination, revealing hemophagocytic cells. After finding no significant results in blood culture, viral markers, and tissue examination of enlarged lymph nodes, HLH was diagnosed by RP. Treatment involved methylprednisolone followed by azathioprine. After two months, bone marrow examination confirmed resolution of hemophagocytosis, with normalization of hyperferritinemia and pancytopenia.
CONCLUSION
Thorough physical examination enabled diagnosis and treatment of HLH triggered by RP in patients presenting with fever of unknown origin.
Diversity of nudibranchs in shallow water habitats in the region of Tromsø, northern Norway
Authors: Broms Fredrik 
Published: August 2024

Baseline data on the distribution of marine species is crucial to be able to address biogeographical patterns and to monitor changes in species occurrences in marine systems. Nudibranch mollusks have proved to be useful bioindicators for monitoring shifts in distribution and have received much attention by the scientific community in recent years. Being positioned in a zoogeographic transition zone between boreal and Arctic regions, northern Norway is an important area for detecting and tracking early distributional shifts. Despite this, no comprehensive knowledge on current biodiversity and distribution of nudibranchs exists from the region. This work presents, for the first time, an annotated and illustrated inventory of nudibranchs in shallow water habitats of the Tromsø region in northern Norway. In total, 49 different nudibranch species or taxa belonging to 19 different families were recorded during the time period May 2020 – December 2023. Compared to occurrence data from literature records and online data sources, 31 species are here reported from the region for the first time. In addition, northern range extensions are presented for a significant part of the Norwegian nudibranch fauna. By documenting current biodiversity and distribution the present study hopes to serve as a baseline for studies focused on monitoring biodiversity in the Arctic region in the future.

A field experiment was conducted during 2015-16 to 2017-18 at Seed Spice Research Station,S.D.Agricultural University, Jagudan on “Effect of sowing time and spacing on growth, yield and economics of cumin(Cuminum cyminum L.)”. The soil was loamy sand in texture, neutral in soil reaction, with low in organic carbon, medium in available phosphorus and potash. There were four treatments of sowing date and three spacings were replicated thrice in factorial concept of randomized block design. Sowing of cumin on 5th November recorded significantly the higher values of number of branches per plant, plant height, number of umbellate per umbel, umbels per plant and test weight(g). Cumin sown at recommended distance i.e. 30 cm apart gave significantly the highest values of all the growth and yield parameters over rest of the treatments i.e. broadcasting and 15 cm between two rows. Crop sown at 30 cm apart on 5th November recorded significantly higher plant height, number of branches and umbels per plant as well as number of umballates per umbel over rest of the treatments. Similarly highest seed yield of cumin crop achieved when crop sown at 30 cm apart on 5th November. The superior values of yield attributes noticed under optimum spacing and proper sowing time may be attributed to better growth and development of individual plants. The crop sown at 30 cm apart on 5th November recorded higher net realization and BCR as compared to rest of the treatment combinations. The volatile oil did not affected due to different sowing time and spacing. Thus, to avail the benefits of no cost technology and to generate the higher income and net realization, cumin crop should be sown at 30 cm row distance on 5th November.

Whilst no medication has yet been approved for the treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN), clinicians often prescribe psychopharmacological and physical health medication to help with low mood, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, sleep problems and pain. However, shared decision-making (SDM) requires an informed patient who feels confident to make the decision on their medication together with the medical doctor. We have therefore designed an intervention that consisted of a leaflet and two seminars, one on psychopharmacological agents and one on physical health medication, and we have measured the patients’ own perception of their knowledge about medication before and after this intervention. A total of 11 patients with AN, 10 females and one gender-fluid person between 19 and 37 years of age who were currently treated in our inpatient or daycare service, agreed to participate in the quality improvement project. After the intervention, patients felt significantly better informed in four different domains: medications for eating disorders, mental health and physical health medication, and pro re nata (PRN) medication. The latter is medication that is given as required. Thus, a psychoeducational activity consisting of written information and seminars seems feasible to improve knowledge and SDM in people with AN. However, the small sample size limits the generalizability of our findings.
The Tsallis Entropic Index q as a Measure of Distance from Thermal Equilibrium in Paramagnetic Spin Lattices
Authors: Masthay Mark , Benton Charles , Guerrieri Luke , Keil Robert 
Published: August 2024

For super–systems C + D comprised of combinations of sub–systems C and D which obey Boltzmann thermo–statistics, the entropy S is additive (SC + SD = SC + D) and extensive and the temperature T is intensive. However, because of finite–size effects, the entropy becomes non–additive and non–extensive, and the temperature non–intensive, for very small systems. In such cases, the Tsallis entropic index q quantifies the extent to which the entropy is non–additive and the temperature is non–intensive. In this paper, we use paramagnetic spin lattices (PSLs) as model systems to demonstrate that q is not only a measure of entropic non–extensivity and temperature non–intensivity, but also the extent to which sub–PSL/super–PSL combinations of various sizes deviate from the global thermal equilibrium condition TC = TD = TC + D. Our results demonstrate that q → 1 as global thermal equilibrium is approached regardless of system size, thus indicating that q is an effective measure of distance from equilibrium.

Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the association between the five-factor personality model (FFM), physical fitness, and physical activity (PA), and the effect of firefighting skills training on physical condition in firefighter recruits. Methods: Data on 58 newly-recruited firefighters from the CELSPAC–FIREexpo human biomonitoring study were used. The sampling protocol was structured in the entry phase testing on the 5th week of training, and final testing on the 10th week of training. During the testing, participants filled out the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory, and underwent analysis of body composition using Dual energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA), a physical work capacity test (PWC 170), a muscular strength test (one repetition maximum bench press (1RM BP) and squat (1RM S)) and the measurement of body weight and height to calculate body mass index (BMI). Associations between study parameters were determined using the Spearman correlation. Results: Extraversion (E) was positively associated with time spent in vigorous physical activity (VPA) and Openness to Experience (O) was negatively associated with time spent sitting. Openness to Experience was also positively associated with BMI and lean mass differences between entry and output measurements. Furthermore, 1 RM S significantly increased during the training program. Conclusion: The observed association between personality from FFM and PA levels in the present study was lower than in the general population reported by other studies. The positive association between E and VPA suggests that using FFM and the relationship between personality and physical fitness as one of the criteria for the selection of suitable recruits may be beneficial.
