ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes of performing a closed tibial high osteotomy with an open osteotomy and the changes in posterior tibia slope and patellar height.MethodsMethods were collected from three hundred and forty patients (440 knees) with high tibial osteotomy performed from January 2019 to January 2020. Forty patients (50 knees) had a lateral closed wedge tibial osteotomy (LCWHTO), and 300 patients (390 knees) had a medial open wedge tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). The follow-up periods were 20.5 months and 19.9 months, respectively. At the final follow-up visit, both groups evaluated the Lysholm score and joint range of motion (ROM). Changes in preoperative and postoperative mechanical axis deviation (MAD), proximal medial tibial angle (MPTA), posterior tibial slope (PTS), and M-K index were compared between the two groups of patients.ResultsLysholm scores were 79.6 ± 15.6 preoperatively and 96.0 ± 5.0 postoperatively in the LCWHTO group (p &lt; 0.01); 83.7 ± 16.0 preoperatively and 94.3 ± 9.1 postoperatively in the MOWHTO group (p &lt; 0.01). ROM was 136.0° ± 8.4° preoperatively and 133.2° ± 10.1° postoperatively in the LCWHTO group (p &gt; 0.05); 136.5° ± 8.4° preoperatively and 135.7° ± 9.3° postoperatively in the MOWHTO group (p &gt; 0.05). the MAD was (26.5 ± 4.1) mm preoperatively and 0.3 ± 2.9 mm postoperatively in the LCWHTO group (p &lt; 0.01); 21.8 ± 6.5 mm preoperatively and −0.3 ± 2.6 mm postoperatively in the MOWHTO group (p &lt; 0.01). The MPTA in the LCWHTO group was 75.3° ± 3.2° preoperatively and 89.5° ± 2.4° postoperatively (p &lt; 0.01). 77.1° ± 3.0° preoperatively and 90.6° ± 2.7° postoperatively in the MOWHTO group (p &lt; 0.01). M-K index was 0.78 ± 0.08 preoperatively and 0.79 ± 0.07 postoperatively in the LCWHTO group (p &gt; 0.05). 0.78 ± 0.05 before and 0.75 ± 0.05 after surgery in the MOWHTO. 10.8° ± 3.0° PTS before and 8.1° ± 3.4° after surgery in the LCWHTO group (p &lt; 0.05); 10.2° ± 3.1° preoperatively and 10.9° ± 4.0° postoperatively (p &gt; 0.05).ConclusionsLCWHTO decreases the PTS and has no effect on patellar height; MOWHTO does not affect the PTS but decreases patellar height. The patient should individualize the choice of the osteotomy.

The setae in Eriophyoidea are filiform, slightly bent and thickened near the base. Confocal microscopy indicates that their proximal and distal parts differ in light reflection and autofluorescence. Approximately 50 genera have atypically shaped setae: bifurcated, angled or swollen. These modifications are known in the basal part of prosomal setae u′, ft′, ft″, d, v, bv, ve, sc and caudal setae h2. We assessed the distribution of atypically shaped setae in Eriophyoidea and showed that they are scattered in different phylogenetic lineages. We hypothesized that the ancestral setae of eriophyoid mites were bifurcated before later simplifying into filiform setae. We also proposed that hypo-furcating setae are a synapomorphy that unites Eriophyoidea with Nematalycidae. We analyzed four new mitochondrial genomes of Leipothrix, the largest genus with bifurcated d, and showed that it is monophyletic and has a unique mitochondrial gene order with translocated trnK. We exclude Cereusacarus juniperensis n. comb. Xue and Yin, 2020 from Leipothrix and transfer five Epitrimerus spp. to Leipothrix: L. aegopodii (Liro 1941) n. comb., L. femoralis (Liro 1941) n. comb., L. geranii (Liro 1941) n. comb., L. ranunculi (Liro 1941) n. comb., and L. triquetra (Meyer 1990) n. comb.

Published: September 2023

The native North American bivalve species Rangia cuneata was unintentionally introduced into European waters during the first decade of the 21st century. In the Baltic Sea, it is mostly found along the southeastern coast, but in 2018 researchers also discovered the species in the Bay of Pomerania, which indicated that it could eventually inhabit the adjacent Szczecin Lagoon and Odra River. In 2021, the species was discovered for the first time in the Szczecin Lagoon during a sampling campaign, at 5 out of the 12 dispersed study sites with diverse bottom substrates.
The goal of this study was to ascertain R. cuneata population density, morphometric parameters, individual growth, and the potential for further expansion in the southern Baltic Sea waters. For the study, 201 individuals of this species were collected. Compared to other sites in the southeast Baltic, the Szczecin Lagoon had a much lower average R. cuneata population density, at 13.2 ± 7.11 individuals m-2 of the bottom area. The highest population density was found at sites with more silt (4–63 µm) and less sand (&gt;63 µm). R. cuneata shells had an average length of 30.9 ± 4.6 mm and an average weight of 6.6 ± 2.8 g. The collected specimens were greater in size than other populations of the species in the Baltic Sea and were comparable in size to populations from the nearby Bay of Pomerania. There were no specimens that were under 10 mm in length, and the population was dominated by specimens in the 25–30 mm and 30–35 mm ranges, as well as the 3+ and 4+ age groups. Given the R. cuneata’s invasive potential and its fast rate of colonization of new areas, it would be prudent to monitor this population and the species migration patterns across the estuary waters of the western Baltic.

Il lavoro nella Costituzione: fonte della cittadinanza o sfera preclusa?
Authors: Pescarolo Alessandra 
Published: September 2023

I princìpi fondamentali della Costituzione affermano chiaramente il legame tra lavoro e cittadinanza, legame che, d'altra parte, cessa di esistere nella definizione della partecipazione delle donne al lavoro, all'art. 37. Questo contributo pone tale asimmetria nel contesto di una comparazione dettagliata tra le posizioni espresse in Costituente dai rappresentanti - donne e uomini - di Democrazia cristiana e partiti della sinistra. Se il riferimento alle Costituzioni socialiste del ventesimo secolo ha un impatto rilevante sulla definizione generale dei diritti dei lavoratori, esso è ignorato quando si tratta di rendere effettivo il diritto delle donne al lavoro. Solo il Partito socialista lottò, guidato in questa scelta da Lina Merlin, per cancellare dall'art. 37 la menzione dell'"essenziale funzione familiare".
The fundamental principles of the Italian Constitution clearly affirm the link between work and citizenship, a link which, on the other hand, ceases to exist when the terms of women’s participation in work are defined in Article 37. This article places this asymmetry in the context of an in-depth comparison between the positions expressed in the Constituent Assembly by the representatives - women and men - of the Christian Democrats and the parties of the left. While the reference to the twentieth-century socialist Constitutions has an important weight in the general definition of workers' rights, it fails when it comes to making women’s right to work effective. Only the Socialist Party, led in this battle by Lina Merlin, fought to delete from Article 37 the reference to the "essential family role".

Background. Diabetic nephropathy is a condition marked by persistent proteinuria, hypertension, and a progressive loss of renal function. End-stage kidney disease needing continuous renal replacement treatment is now primarily caused by diabetes. According to Kimmelstiel and Wilson, the hallmark lesion of diabetic nephropathy is nodular glomerulosclerosis. Diabetic nephropathy or Nondiabetic renal disease, or the coexistence of both can be seen in renal histopathology and in differentiating between these diagnostic groups can have an impact on patient care and prognosis.Patients and Methods. Total of 21 cases of Diabetic nephropathy were included in the study. Clinical details and laboratory parameters like diastolic blood pressure, creatinine level, 24 hrs urinary protein level and HbA1C% were recorded in pretested performa in all cases. The biopsy specimens were stained with hematoxylin & eosin and special stains.Results. Among the total DM cases only 21 patients have done renal biopsy, 11 cases (52.3 %) showed KW lesion (Class III) while 06 cases (28.5 %) showed diffuse diabetic glomerulosclerosis (Class IV). The remaining 04 cases (19 %) showed a mild increase in mesangial matrix and slight thickening of glomerular basement membrane (Class II). When compared with clinical parameters, they were more raised in Nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis type (Class III) lesion as compared to diffuse diabetic glomerulosclerosis.Conclusion. Nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis was the most common lesion in renal biopsy of type II diabetes mellitus patients. This KW lesion is responsible for more severe clinical and biochemical renal abnormality in most patients with type II diabetes mellitus.

Street sold foods are a source of inexpensive, nutritious food for many people living both in the urban and rural areas. It is also a major source of income for many people, particularly women by providing self-employment and the opportunity to develop business skills with low capital investment. However, ready-to-eat foods are a source of contamination and can transmit food-borne diseases through those handling the salads. Therefore, a quantitative cross-sectional survey of exhaustively sampled 120 vendors was carried out to assess food safety knowledge and hygienic practices among vendors of vegetable salads in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study established that the majority (60 %) of the respondents were males aged between 26-35 (53 %) and most of them had up to the secondary level of education (73 %). The majority of the vendors (59 %) had been trained on food handling practices and therefore had good knowledge of food hygiene, and practiced good hygiene. The results indicate that even though most respondents used gloves and aprons, some did not practice food handling hygienic practices and this could predispose the salads to contamination. The study indicates that the majority of the respondents had formal education and were trained on food handling practices, and this may have had an effect on their perception of hygiene. However, some of the vendors exhibited poor food handling practices and therefore there is a need to enhance training and law enforcement governing street food vending business.

Published: September 2023

Avocado is an exotic fleshy fruit dicotyledonous plant grown for its fruit though leaves of the plant have also been used for avocado flavored tea production while the seed is known to contain antioxidants. The consumption of avocados is on the increase in Kenya; however, the value chain experiences losses estimated to be around 40% due to inability of the sector players to convert fresh fruits into more shelf stable products due to limited preservation technologies. Limited information exists on the production status of avocado, postharvest handling and consumption pattern of avocado in Kenya. This paper aims at determining the current Kenyan avocado distribution patterns, production volumes, nutrition properties and post-harvest handling practices. A semi systematic literature review approach was used to review research materials relevant available articles. The most current articles published in reputable journals within the last 10 years were considered. From the literature, avocado crop popularity is on the increase and has surpassed traditional cash crops such as coffee and tea. According to the findings, avocados can be converted to various products which include avocado oil, guacamoles, dry avocado powder, dehydrated products and avocado blended ice creams. There are gaps in avocado fruit preservation with an estimated 40% loss occasioned by low technologies in product transformation. In conclusion, the sector is in need of knowledge and technologies in product transformation to enable the sector avert losses occasioned by poor post-harvest handling techniques. This literature review provides information on the current status of avocado production, postharvest handling and utilization in Kenya which is useful to avocado marketers, policy makers, authorities, consumers and other stakeholders as well as avocado production and post-harvest handling researchers.

Published: September 2023

Determination of radionuclide transfer from animal feeds to animal products and ingestion transfer rates is important in assessing internal radiation risk to humans who consume the animal products. Seventy-nine (79) pasture samples and milk samples were collected from cattle farms in seven sub-counties. Activity concentrations of radionuclides in the samples were determined using gamma spectroscopy. Transfer ratios of radionuclides to from pasture to milk were calculated. Ingestion transfer rates of radionuclide from pasture to cow were also determined. Radionuclide accumulation to the body of the cow was modeled. Contributions to radiological effects due to accumulation of radionuclides in the body were estimated. Transfer ratios of uranium and thorium from pasture to milk varied from 0.07 to 0.17, and 0.05 to 0.17, respectively. The ingestion transfer rates of uranium varied from 3.110-6 to 7.6 10-6 y l-1 while for thorium, the ingestion transfer rates varied from 2.2 10-6 to 7.5 10-6 y l-1. The contribution to radium equivalent (Bq l-1), annual effective dose equivalent (mSv y l-1), and excess lifetime cancer Risk due to the radionuclide transfer were 0.074, 0.002, and 0.0061 10-3, respectively. Comparing with the safe values of annual effective dose equivalent in foodstuffs of 0.14 mSv y l-1 which translates to excess cancer risk of 0.42 10-3, these contributions to radiological effects only account for about 1.5% of the total safe value of excess lifetime cancer risk, therefore, radionuclide transfer from pasture to milk causes a minimal radiation hazard to the milk consumers in Kisoro District.
