Published: November 2023

Background Septic nonunion is a devastating outcome following a tibial plafond fracture, causing significantly increased morbidity and a lengthy recovery. Treatment options include antibiotics and irrigation and debridement procedures focused on preventing posttraumatic osteomyelitis. If these options fail, surgical intervention is necessary to clear infection and debride nonviable bone, often resulting in a substantial bony void. Masquelet technique and Cement augmentation are well studied, multi-stage procedures designed specifically for combatting these defects. These procedures are associated with significant patient burden, a long non-weight-bearing period, and a lengthy recovery. The case presented here today highlights a variation of these techniques that reduced the need for the standard second stage procedure and resulted in a quicker return to normal activity. Case A 51-year-old obese male presented with a septic nonunion with posttraumatic osteomyelitis following a tibial plafond fracture. The patient underwent implant removal with simultaneous irrigation and debridement of all nonviable bone resulting in a substantial bony void. The nonunion was then stabilized with an antibiotic tibial nail, and an antibiotic cement spacer to fill the bony void. The patient was allowed to partial weight bear post operatively and quickly progressed weight bearing status. By postoperative week eight, the patient’s activity level had returned to near his baseline, and the patient was not interested in another procedure to remove the spacer and bone graft. At this time, it was elected to permanently maintain the cement spacer, and only exchange it for bone graft as needed. By one-year, radiographic films demonstrating bony healing around the cement spacer, and the patient was back to full pain-free function. Conclusions Permanently maintaining the cement spacer in cement augmentation or the Masquelet technique allowed this patient to quickly progress weight-bearing status, regain function, and return to normal life without the need for the stage two procedure.

Genetic analysis of two species of Mnomen in the Kalamazoo Watershed reveal panmixia in Z. Aquatica, structure among Z. Palustris, and hybridization in areas of sympatry
Authors: Kieleczawa Katarina A. , Luke Kaylee , Gregory Andrew 
Published: November 2023

Mnomen or wild rice of the genus Zizania is an important part of Native American culture, especially in Michigan for the Ojibwe nation. An oil spill in 2010 along the Kalamazoo River and the subsequent clean-up lead to renewed interest in management of Mnomen within the Kalamazoo watershed. The affected water bodies were surveyed for Zizania species to map existing populations, determine the existing genetic diversity and species present, and to identify potential hybridization. Using Traditional Ecological Knowledge of rice beds and opportunistic sampling of encountered plants, 28 rice beds were sampled. Two species of Zizania were identified Z. palustris and Z. aquatica. Genetic diversity was measured using 11 microsatellite loci and was moderately high for both species (Z. aquatica HE = 0.669, H0 = 0.672, n = 26 and Z. palustris HE = 0.697, H0 = 0.636, n = 57). No evidence of population bottle-necking was found. Z. palustris was found to have k = 3 populations on the landscape, while Z. aquatica was found to be a single panmictic population. Several individual hybrids were confirmed using genotyping and they were all found in areas where the two species co-occurred. Additionally, Z. aquatica was found to have expanded into areas historically with only Z. palustris downstream of the oil spill, potentially due to dredging and sediment relocation as part of the clean-up effort.

Published: November 2023

This study examined village councils' transparency in managing Community-Driven Projects (CDPs) in Mlimba District Council, Morogoro Region, Tanzania. For project success, Community-Driven Development (CDD) strategies emphasize community engagement and local autonomy. CDP management relies on village councils to involve community members in decision-making to match projects with local priorities. This qualitative case study collected data from 24 purposively selected respondents of Chita and Ikule villages through interviews with village leaders and focused group discussions with village council members. The data were analyzed through a thematic analysis of how the village council practices transparency in CDP management. The study found that community meetings, notice boards, public speakers, and structured documentation increase transparency. Regular audits and project document accessibility ensure financial integrity. For CDPs to succeed, diverse communication, transparency, and community involvement were crucial. The study emphasizes CDP management transparency and inclusivity by highlighting diverse communication strategies to address local challenges. It is recommended that village councils maintain and continue to implement current transparency measures while enhancing and broadening their communication strategies. This may entail leveraging social media and digital platforms to effectively engage a wider audience, particularly the younger demographic. It is recommended that village council members undergo regular communication and community engagement training in order to enhance their current capabilities. Establishing a sub-committee within the village council's team that is specifically focused on enhancing transparency and communication strategies has the potential to enhance these endeavours. Communication strategies should be studied for their long-term effects on community engagement and project outcomes. Studies on how cultural and social dynamics affect communication in diverse communities could help tailor strategies to specific contexts.

Aims: The current study aimed to investigate the factors influencing seed deterioration in groundnut.
Study Design: Three factorial CRD.
Place and Duration of Study: The research was conducted at the Department of Seed Science and Technology, Seed Research and Technology Centre, PJTSAU, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, between february 2022 to march 2023.
Methodology: Groundnut seeds harvested at different stages (early, normal, and late) were considered, each with varying seed moisture levels (8%, 10%, and 12%). These seeds were stored under ambient conditions for one year and evaluated for percentage of seed infection, seed rot, and bruchid infection. The assessments were carried out with three replicates, each consisting of 100 seeds. The study was conducted using a three-factorial design as the experimental setup involved three independent variables.
Results: Results showed that among the different seed moisture levels, seeds harvested early with 8% moisture content exhibited the lowest percentages of seed infection, seed rot, and bruchid infection at 62.75% and 59.58% respectively after one year of storage. Conversely, seeds from the late harvesting window with 12% seed moisture content displayed the highest percentages of these seed health parameters at 53%, 00%, and 49.42% respectively. Notably, there was significant variation in seed infection rates observed in both 8% and 12% seed moisture content groups.
Conclusion: These discoveries reveal the vital significance of timely harvesting and maintaining the right moisture levels to safeguard the quality and health of seeds.

Introduction: Hepatitis C is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus; its spread in humans has been boosted by the emergence of parenteral use for medical purposes or drug injections, as well as its asymptomatic nature in the acute phase.
The global prevalence of hepatitis C is estimated at 1%, with a variable distribution in different regions of the world, sometimes even within the same country.
General objective: To help improve the biological diagnosis and prevention of HCV infections in the urban commune of Kindia.
Methodology: The urban commune of Kindia was used as the study area. This prospective and descriptive study was carried out at the Institut de Recherche en Biologie Appliquée de Guinée (IRBAG) from June to December 2022. The biomaterial consists of 3,000 blood samples taken from patients attending consultations at health facilities. The Immuno-Enzymatic technique (ELISA) was used to test for anti-HCV antibodies.
Results: In the course of our work, out of 3,000 samples taken from patients admitted to health facilities, 78 cases tested positive for the anti-HCV antibody, representing a carriage rate of 2.6%. Females were the most affected, with 50 positive cases (1.67%). The 31-40 age group had the highest anti-HCV antibody carriage rate, at 0.70%.
Conclusion: All socio-professional groups are affected by this infection, but to varying degrees. Despite our efforts, hepatitis C virus infection remains a major concern, as there is currently no vaccine and existing treatments are expensive and inaccessible to middle-income countries.

Published: November 2023

ImportanceIntra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) has quickly gained popularity as a mainstay of treatment for retinoblastoma. Intra-arterial chemotherapy has been described as having several advantages over systemic chemotherapy, including reducing systemic toxicity and neutropenia; however, studies on the risk of neutropenia after IAC remain limited.ObjectiveTo estimate the incidence of neutropenia after IAC, as well as identify risk factors associated with the development of neutropenia.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis case series included pediatric patients with unilateral or bilateral retinoblastoma who were treated with IAC at a single quaternary care center from July 13, 2013, to January 6, 2023.ExposureAll patients were treated with IAC and underwent multiple IAC cycles depending on treatment response. The primary chemotherapy agent used was melphalan, but topotecan or carboplatin could be used along with melphalan. Melphalan doses were kept to 0.4 mg/kg or less per cycle. After each IAC cycle, complete blood cell counts were obtained within 10 to 12 days and repeated until the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) was greater than or equal to 1000/μL.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was the minimum ANC after each IAC cycle. The secondary outcome was the development of severe (grade 3 or 4) neutropenia (ANC &amp;lt;1000/μL). Regression analyses were used to identify associations between variables and outcomes. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to calculate threshold dose for each chemotherapy agent potentially associated with the development of severe neutropenia.ResultsA total of 64 eyes of 49 patients (mean [SD] age, 1.7 [1.2] years; 25 females [51.0%]) with retinoblastoma were treated with 171 cycles of IAC. The mean (SD) nadir ANC was 1325.3 (890.7)/μL and occurred a median (IQR) of 10 (10-14) days (range, 6-28 days) after IAC administration. The frequency distribution of post-IAC neutropenia grades 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and missing was 31 (18.1% of cycles), 25 (14.6%), 40 (23.4%), 37 (21.6%), 26 (15.2%), and 12 (7.0%), respectively. Factors weakly correlated with a lower ANC were higher melphalan dose (β = −2356 [95% CI, –4120.6 to −611.2]; adjusted R2 = 0.251; P = .01) and higher topotecan dose (β = −4056 [95% CI, –7003.6 to −1344.5]; adjusted R2 = 0.251; P = .006).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this case series of patients with retinoblastoma, the incidence of severe neutropenia after IAC was nearly 40%, which is higher than previously reported. Extended laboratory monitoring may aid in capturing previously overlooked cases of neutropenia. Topotecan may be associated with the development of neutropenia; limiting topotecan doses, especially in the setting of a high melphalan dose, may be beneficial in reducing the risk of neutropenia.
Dosimetric impact of adding non‐coplanar arcs for scalp‐avoidance whole‐brain irradiation with volumetric‐modulated arc radiotherapy on scalp dose reduction in pediatric patients with medulloblastomas
Authors: Torizuka Daichi , Uto Megumi , Mizowaki Takashi 
Published: November 2023

AbstractPurposeWe performed scalp‐avoidance whole‐brain irradiation with volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (SAWB‐VMAT) as a component of craniospinal irradiation. In SAWB‐VMAT with two coplanar arcs, radiation oncologists and medical physicists sometimes experience difficulty in reducing the dose to the scalp to below the cut‐off equivalent dose in 2 Gy per fraction (assuming α/β = 2) to 50% (EQD50%scalp). To investigate the advantage of adding coplanar or non‐coplanar arcs in reducing the dose to the scalp in SAWB‐VMAT, we conducted a planning study to compare the EQD50%scalp, the dose to other organs at risk (OARs), and target coverage in VMAT with two coplanar arcs (Co2arcVMAT), VMAT with three coplanar arcs (Co3arcVMAT), and VMAT with two coplanar and two non‐coplanar arcs (NcVMAT).MethodsCo2arcVMAT, Co3arcVMAT, and NcVMAT plans were created for 10 pediatric patients with medulloblastoma. The planned target volume (PTV) included the regions of the whole brain, cervical spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid space, and intervertebral foramen. The EQD50%scalp was evaluated separately for four areas (top, back, left, and right) in each case. The prescribed dose for the PTV was 35.2 Gy in 22 fractions.ResultsThe median EQD50%scalp of the top area was 21.9 , 22.1 , and 18.3 Gy for Co2arcVMAT, Co3arcVMAT, and NcVMAT, respectively. The EQD50%scalp of the top area was significantly reduced in NcVMAT compared to those in Co2arcVMAT and Co3arcVMAT (p < 0.05). The median EQD50%scalp of the top area for NcVMAT was < 19.9 Gy, which is the cut‐off dose for severe permanent alopecia. There were no significant differences in EQD50%scalp in the three other areas, the dose to other OARs, or the dose coverage of PTV among the three techniques.ConclusionNcVMAT could reduce the EQD50%scalp of the top area below the cut‐off dose of 19.9 Gy. NcVMAT appears to be a promising treatment technique for SAWB‐VMAT.
