Restoration of External Rotation by Sequential Glenoid Lateralization Based on Body Size in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
Authors: Imai Shinji 
Published: April 2023

Background:
Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for rotator cuff arthropathy reliably restores anterior elevation (AE), restoration of external rotation (ER) had been unreliable using traditional Grammont-type designs, which has been addressed by lateralizing the center of rotation. This study investigated whether sequential lateralization based on the intraoperatively measured glenoid-humeral axis interval (GHI) results in better outcomes than RSA with a uniform amount of lateralization irrespective of the GHI.

Methods:
Fifty-four shoulders were treated with a nonlateralized Grammont-type implant between 2016 and 2018 (group A). Forty shoulders were treated with the same Grammont-type implant with 8.0-mm-thick bony increased offset (BIO) between 2014 and 2016 (group B). Fifty consecutive shoulders were treated with a different Grammont-type implant with glenoid-side prosthetic lateralization based on the GHI between 2019 and 2020 (group C). Group C was further stratified into 3 subgroups: group C1 (GHI < 20.0 mm, n = 12) was lateralized by +3.4 mm; C2 (20.0 ≤ GHI ≤ 24.0 mm, n = 25), by +5.4 mm; and C3 (GHI > 24.0 mm, n = 13), by +7.4 mm. Active ER with the arm at the side (ER0) and abducted to 90° (ER90) as well as functional outcomes including active AE and Constant and UCLA scores were evaluated at 2 years postoperatively.

Results:
The mean age, height, and body mass index and the percentage of male patients were not significantly different between groups A, B, and C. However, the patients in subgroup C1 were the shortest (151.3 ± 3.9 cm) and most elderly (77.5 ± 4.1 years) and had the highest proportion of female patients (91.7%). The patients in subgroup C3 were the tallest (161.1 ± 5.6 cm) and had the highest proportion of male patients (69.2%). ER0, ER90, and the Constant score were significantly larger in group C than in group A. AE, ER0, and the Constant and UCLA scores were significantly larger in group C than in group B.

Conclusions:
Rather than using a single ideal offset, the optimal lateralization may be better determined according to the body size, the muscle volume, or perhaps the excursion of the musculotendinous unit of each individual patient.

Abstract
In this report we have studied, the substitutional effect on photophysical properties of newly synthesized isomeric benzocoumarin-Sesamol Conjugates using absorption, steady-state fluorescence emission, and time-resolved emission measurements. The structural characterization of the synthesized dyes was carried out using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and MS. The ground states are estimated using theoretical (ab-intio) experimental techniques. The excited state dipole moment was calculated using the solvatochromic method. Stoke's shift exhibits a redshift with an increase in solvent polarity for synthesized indicating a p-p* transition. The HOMO-LUMO energy gaps computed from density functional theory and absorption threshold wavelengths are found to be in good agreement with each other and also support intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The Global chemical reactivity descriptor parameter and electrostatic potential (MESP) plots suggest that molecules have strong electrophilic and nucleophilic sites. The preliminary photophysical observations and results suggest that the fluorescent dyes can be considered as potential material for the construction of solar cells, fluorescent probes, and chemosensors.

Abstract
Forest encroachments in protected areas leading to severe biodiversity loss are common in Côte d’Ivoire for the last few decades mainly due to agricultural expansion. Several initiatives to promote sustainable agriculture practices are ongoing in the vicinity of these protected forests to reverse the anthropogenic pressure and its consequences. This study was undertaken to assess selected agricultural practices and the willingness of the cocoa farmers to adopt agroforestry around the Taï National Park in Southwest Côte d’Ivoire. A structured questionnaire was administrated to 323 cocoa farmers to understand their current practices and perceptions of cocoa agroforestry. Our results showed that 95% of farmers grow unimproved cocoa varieties with an average yield of 376 ± 36 kg/ha per year. In terms of agricultural practices, more than 91% of farmers applied pesticides, 86% use agroforestry practices as part of their farming systems, while 82% use pruning techniques and 27% applied fertilizers. We also found that most farmers (54%) are willing to adopt improved agroforestry practices or plant more trees in their cocoa plantations. The willingness of these farmers to practice cocoa agroforestry is influenced by gender, the length of residency and the number of cultivated cash crops. Our findings can be used as entry points to make good use of strong community knowledge and take advantage of existing knowledge to strengthen the take-up of good agricultural practices and generate on-the-ground sustainable impacts.

Multi-period synchronous deconvolution for complex fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings
Authors: Zhou Tao , ZHAO Ming , Ou Shudong , Wu Changqing 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Due to inaccurate period knowledge or incomplete information, there are limitations in extracting all potential complex faults of rolling bearings and enhancing weak faults. To address this problem, this article introduces a novel deconvolution method, named multi-period synchronous deconvolution (MPSD). In this method, decomposing matrix-matrix in solving the filter coefficients are used to replace designing objective function to avoid only obtaining the filter signal of the optimal objective function. Based on eliminating the effects of subspace noise, a novel evaluation index, called characteristic information ratio, is proposed to evaluate fault significance by fault information levels instead of energy. In addition, an informative subspace selection strategy is proposed to control the weighting coefficients of each subspace in reconstructed signal. Without the predetermined fault periods, the proposed MPSD can simultaneously extract latent multiple faults and enhance weak fault features. Finally, simulations and experimental cases substantiate the efficacy and eminence of MPSD.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
People sit frequently and perform various physiologic activities while seated. Intradiscal pressure in a static posture has been studied extensively, but research is lacking on how the pressure applied to the spine and disc changes during dynamic movements in different postures. In this study, finite element modeling (FEM) was used to investigate how pressure distribution on the lumbar spine changes when standing or during straight, slumped, and floor sitting. Three types of load modes, flexion, lateral bending, and axial rotation, were applied to the FEM. A moment of 10 N·m was applied at the cervical spine and a load of 300 N at the head. In the erect sitting and standing postures, there was no significant difference in the pressure distribution of the annulus fiber and nucleus pulposus, representing intradiscal pressure, according to the three movements. Stress increased by an average of 113% during slumped sitting and 123% while floor sitting compared with standing. The pressure on the annulus fibers and nucleus pulposus in the lumbar spine increased the most while floor sitting, when lumbar lordosis decreased the most. Maintaining a sitting position during physiologic activities that reduces lumbar lordosis effectively reduces intradiscal pressure associated with various degenerative disc diseases.
Sparse Spatio-Temporal Dynamic Hypergraph Learning for Traffic Accident Prediction

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Traffic accidents have become one of the biggest public health safety matters, which has raised many concerns from citizens and city managers. Accurate traffic accident prediction can not only assist the government in making decisions in advance but also enhance public trust in public safety. Conventional spatio-temporal prediction models, limited by the skewed distributions and sparse labels of traffic accident occurrence, are prone to overfitting. Inspired by hypergraph learning and self-supervised learning, this paper suggests a sparse spatio-temporal dynamic hypergraph learning (SST-DHL) framework to capture the higher-order dependencies in sparse traffic accidents. Specifically, a multi-view spatio-temporal convolution block is employed first to capture the local spatio-temporal correlation and inherent semantics of traffic accidents. Then we propose a cross-regional dynamic hypergraph learning model to capture global spatio-temporal dependencies beneath the entire urban landscape. In addition, a two-supervised self-learning paradigm is intended to strengthen the representation of sparse traffic occurrences by regional self-identification, which can capture local and global spatio-temporal traffic patterns. The proposed model is applicable to most sparse datasets for traffic forecasts. Extensive experiments was conducted on two heterogeneous accident datasets from New York City and London, and the results shows an average improvements of 7.21%-23.09% at different sparsity levels compared to the optimal baselines. More importantly, the proposed SST-DHL improves the interpretability of model results, which demonstrates that hypergraph learning can efficiently capture the complex higher-order spatio-temporal dependencies among different traffic accident instances.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background: Individuals living in communities with poor access to healthcare may be unaware of their high blood pressure (BP). While the use of community health workers (CHWs) can address gaps in human resources for health, CHWs in Uganda have not been used previously for BP screening and management. We report the results of an initiative to train CHWs to evaluate BP and to administer group-based education in Kalangala and Buvuma Island Districts of Lake Victoria, Uganda.
Methods: We randomly selected 42 of 212 villages. We trained 84 CHWs based in island districts on measuring BP. CHWs visited all households in the selected villages and invited all adults ≥18 years to be screened for high BP. We used the World Health Organization’s STEPwise tool to collect data on demographic and behavioral characteristics and BPmeasurements. High blood pressure was defined as systolic BP (SBP) ≥140 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP (DBP) ≥90 mm Hg over three readings. CHWs created and led fortnight support groups for individuals identified with high blood pressure at baseline. At each group meeting, CHWs re-measured BP and administered an intervention package, which included self-management and lifestyle education to participants. The paired t-test was used to compare mean values of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) before and after the intervention. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to model longitudinal changes in BP.
Results: We trained 84 CHWs to measure BP and deliver the intervention package. Among 2,016 community members, 570 (28.3%) had high blood pressure; of these, 63 (11.1%) had a previous diagnosis of hypertension. The comparison of SBP and DBP before and after the intervention revealed significant reductions in mean SBP from 158mmHg (SD=29.8) to 149 mmHg (SD=29.8) (p<0.001) and mean DBP from 97mmHg (SD=14.3) to 92mmHg (p<0.001).
GEE showed decreases of -1.133 (SBP) and -0.543 mmHg (DBP)/fortnight.
Conclusion: High BP was common but previously undiagnosed. The CHW-led group-based self-management and education for controlling high BP was effective in the island districts in Uganda. Scaling up the intervention in other hard-to-reach districts could improve control of high BP on a large scale.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
The increasing impact of climate change and rising temperatures has made the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions a top priority globally. Accurately forecasting these emissions is a crucial aspect of transitioning towards a clean energy economy. This paper introduces a new method for estimating CO2 emissions by combining the wavelet technique with both an autoregressive integrated moving average (DWT-ARIMA) and ARIMA model, applied to annual carbon dioxide emissions data in Algeria from 1970 to 2022. The study provides decision makers with crucial information to help find effective environmental protection solutions in Algeria. The results suggest that the wavelet-ARIMA model is more effective compared to the traditional ARIMA model.
Efficacy of extended view totally extra peritoneal approach versus laparoscopic intraperitoneal on lay mesh plus for abdominal wall hernias: a single center preliminary study
Authors: Xu Haisong , Huang Wenhao , Guo Yuehua , Li Mingyue , Peng Gongze , Wu Tianchong 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background
Minimally invasive surgery through Laparoscopy had been the first treatment option for ventral hernias. Laparoscopic intraperitoneal on lay mesh (IPOM) plus approach for abdominal wall hernias is the classic procedure, while extended view totally extraperitoneal (e‑TEP) repair is a newer option. This study aimed to compare the preliminary effects of the two surgical procedures for abdominal wall hernias repair.
Methods
This is a retrospective and comparative single-center study done at The Second Clinical Medical College, Jinan University Hospital (Shenzhen People's Hospital), Shenzhen, China, from January 2022 to December 2022. The study included all patients who had undergone abdominal wall hernia operation with a 2 to 6-cm defect size. Patients' baseline characteristics, hernia features, operative time, blood loss, postoperative pain level, and total hospitalization expenses were conducted systematically.
Results
We evaluated 53 cases, 22 in the e-TEP group and 31 in IPOM plus group. The demographic characteristics had no significant difference between the two groups. The time of surgery in e-TEP was significantly longer than IPOM plus (98.5 ± 10.7min vs. 65.9 ± 7.3min, P < 0.01). Postoperative pain levels (VAS) (4.2 ± 0.9 vs. 6.7 ± 0.9, P < 0.01), analgesic requirements (25.0 ± 37.0mg vs. 72.6 ± 40.5mg, P < 0.01), hospital stays (1.2 ± 0.5days vs. 2.2 ± 0.6days, P < 0.01), and total hospitalization expenses (19695.9 ± 1221.7CNY vs. 35286.2 ± 1196.6CNY, P < 0.01) by contrast were significantly lower for the e-TEP group. There was no difference in the mean intraoperative bleeding between the two groups and no postoperative complications during the observation period in the two groups.
Conclusion
As a new surgical technique for abdominal wall hernias repair, e-TEP appears to be better than IPOM plus in postoperative pain levels (VAS), analgesic requirements, hospital stays and hospitalization costs.

Authors: KILIC Isa , AYAR Yavuz , CEYLAN İlkay , KAYA Pınar KUCUKDEMIRCI , CALISKAN Gulbahar 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Aim
In resistant infections and septic patients, the choice of colistin in the selection of antibiotic therapy is important in the treatment response. Kidney damage is common after antibiotic use. In our study, we evaluated the clinical and laboratory data of the patients who developed nephrotoxicity after the use of colistin, followed in the intensive care unit of our hospital.
Material and Methods
The clinical and laboratory characteristics and treatment results of 148 patients (54 nephrotoxic patients) with infection who were followed up in the intensive care unit (ICU) of our hospital evaluated.
Results
The group that developed nephrotoxicity was older [70.5 (40–91), p < 0.001]. The APACHE II score was higher in the nephrotoxicity group [20.5 (5–49), p = 0.004]. Positive inotrope use and mortality were higher in the nephrotoxicity group [32 (59.3%), p < 0.001 and 30 (55.6%), p = 0.004]. The duration of colistin use was longer in the nephrotoxicity group [13.5 (3–36), p = 0.045]. In the group that developed nephrotoxicity, the highest growth was detected in the tracheal aspirate (TAS) [49 (90.7%), p = 0.045]. Positive inotrope use and growth in TAS culture predisposed the development of nephrotoxicity in multivariate analysis [3.12 (1.38–7.02), CI 95%, p = 0.006, 5.70 (1.64–19.79), CI 95%, p = 0.006].
Conclusion
Consideration should be given to the use of colistin in resistant infections and septic patients in terms of nephrotoxicity and mortality. Antibiotic selection should be considered in critically ill patients, and patients should be closely monitored.

Published: April 2023

AbstractObjective:Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a usual chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa with malignant capacity, whose pathogenesis is not yet well known. Free radicals and reactive oxygen species may have a vital role in the pathogenesis of oral lichen planus. This study aimed to assess Glutathione reductase, catalase, and free thiol levels in the saliva of OLP patients and compare it with healthy people.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 35 patients with OLP and 20 healthy people were involved. Five mL of whole, unstimulated saliva samples were collected in the morning, and the salivary levels of antioxidants were measured by ELISA technique. In this experiment, sex, age and OLP types were also evaluated.Results:There was a significant decrease in the salivary level of Glutathione reductase and catalase in patients (p=0.001), but there were no differences between the two groups regarding free-thiol level (p=0.7). However, there was no correlation between age and gender with the antioxidants’ contents. There was a significant decrease in glutathione reductase and catalase in the erosive type than in the non-erosive type.Conclusions:In this study, we found that the salivary levels of Glutathione reductase and Catalase were lower in OLP patients than in the healthy group, which means these antioxidants were affected by OLP and also related to the type of it. So salivary Glutathione reductase and Catalase levels may be used as biomarkers for OLP monitoring and treatment.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background and Aims: There are no clear conclusions as to whether heart failure (HF) and coronary heart disease (CAD) increase the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED).In our study, we used Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to discover a causal relationship between HF, CAD and ED.
Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with HF, CAD and ED were obtained from the MRC IEU Open Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) database.After a series of screenings, the remaining SNPs were selected as instrumental variables (IVs) for HF and CAD for MR analysis to assess the relationship between genetically predicted HF or CAD and the pathogenesis of ED.Among them, we used the random-effects inverse variance weighted (IVW) method as the primary analysis method.Finally, Cochran's q-test, funnel plots, MR-Egger regression, Leave-one-out method and MR-PRESSO were used for sensitivity analysis.
Results: In the IVW method, there was no significant causal relationship between genetically predicted HF and CAD and the incidence of ED.(HF: OR = 1.17, 95% CI 0.99-1.39; p = 0.074;CAD: OR = 1.08, 95% CI 0.99-1.17, p = 0.068)。The results of sensitivity analyses supported our conclusion that no horizontal pleiotropism was found.
Conclusion: This study did not find a causal relationship between HF or CAD and ED in European populations, which requires further in-depth research.
