Total fertilization failure in intracytoplasmic sperm injection: a retrospective comparative study
Authors: İNAL Hasan , OZTURK INAL Zeynep 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate total fertilization failure (TFF), embryo transfers following TFF cycles, and recurrent TFF, and to define the factors that might cause TFF.
Materials and Methods: Cycles that resulted in TFF (group 1, n=109), embryo transfers after TFF cycles (group 2, n=30), and cases of recurrent TFF (group 3, n=15) were evaluated retrospectively.
Results: Peak estradiol was higher in group 2 than other groups, and the rate of sperm morphology below 4% was lower in group 2 when compared to groups 1 and 3. The total numbers of retrieved oocytes (5.3±4.1 vs 10.2±1.5 (Odds Ratio=1.639; 95% CI 1.267-2.122)) and MII oocytes (2.9±2.2 vs 6.8±1.8 (Odds Ratio=2.218; 95% CI 1.529-3.216)) were significantly higher in embryo transfer cycles when compared to previous TFF cycles. Retrieved and MII oocytes counts were higher in group 2 with a median fertilization rate of 46.42% when compared to groups 1 and 3.
Conclusion: With more retrieved and MII oocytes, normal sperm morphology can increase the fertilization rate of ICSI cycles following earlier TFF.
Relocation of earthquakes in the Cook Inlet area, south central Alaska, using the joint hypocenter determination method
Authors: Ratchkovsky Natalia A. , Pujol Jose , Biswas Niren N. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe Joint Hypocenter Determination (JHD) method was used to relocate 1604 earthquakes that occurred during 1988 to 1993 in the Wadati-Benioff zone (WBZ) beneath the Cook Inlet in south central Alaska. The study utilizes both P- and S-wave arrivals recorded by a recently improved regional seismic network, and it provides an improvement over previous studies. The JHD locations of the events allowed improved delineation of the geometry of the subducted slab and the detection of a double seismic zone within the WBZ in the 40- to 100-km-depth range. The JHD station corrections obtained correlate with the major surface geological features in the study area (slow-velocity sedimentary basins) as well as with crustal and mantle structure (high-velocity subducting slab and low-velocity anomalies beneath the active volcanoes). To investigate the dependence of the JHD relocation procedure on factors such as the hypocentral depths of the events used, the velocity model, the νp/νs ratio, and random and systematic errors in travel-time readings, synthetic travel times were calculated using an exact raytracing technique, a three-dimensional tomographic P-wave velocity model, the present network configuration, and the actual seismicity distribution. Then, the synthetic events were located with the JHD algorithm. The synthetic experiments showed that the JHD procedure is rather insensitive to the choice of plane-layered velocity model and νp/νs ratio, preserves relative hypocenter locations well, and can handle systematic and large random reading errors effectively.
Source parameters of the 15 November 1995 Border Town, Nevada, earthquake sequence

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe November 1995 Border Town, Nevada, earthquake sequence occurred near the California-Nevada border approximately 20 km northwest of Reno, Nevada. The largest earthquake of the sequence (Mw = 4.5) was widely felt throughout the Reno-Sparks-Truckee region. This event occurred on a west-dipping high-angle fault at a depth of 14 km and shows dip-slip motion on a preferred fault-plane orientation of strike N10°E, dip 70° W, and rake −75°. We have relocated 27 aftershocks and one foreshock of the event using records from the local network and two portable digital instruments. The largest aftershocks also align along a N10°E trend and define the preferred fault plane. All of the aftershocks occur within a small volume with a 2- by 2-km horizontal extent and between depths of 10 and 14 km.Simultaneous determination of M0, fc, and κ is made by fitting spectra using various starting models (i.e., initial Δσs and κ) based on an f−2 spectral shape. M0 ranges from 1018 to 1023 dyne × cm for 14 events and hypocentral distances were less than 15 km. We fit S-wave spectra with different starting models to test the stability of Δσs. The results show that Δσs and κ converged to different values depending on the starting model and the magnitude because of an attenuation-source dimension trade-off. For example, a model starting with a stress drop of 10 bars produced an average Δσs of 27 bars and an apparent scaling breakdown below Mw 3. Starting the search at 50 bars produced an average Δσs of 69 bars and no magnitude dependence. We cannot resolve any breakdown in self-similarity because we find plausible spectral models for all magnitudes where Δσs is nearly constant at 60 bars.Seismograms of the four largest aftershocks, Mw 3.0 to 3.4, were deconvolved using smaller aftershocks as empirical Green's functions. Event radii estimated from the pulse widths yield stress drop averaging 34 bars, within the range of the frequency-domain results.
Estimation of slowness vectors and their uncertainties using multi-wavelet seismic array processing
Authors: Bear Lorie K. , Pavlis Gary L. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe have developed a new seismic array data processing method to produce slowness vector estimates and an objective measure of their uncertainties in the form of statistical confidence intervals. The slowness vector, which is typically transformed into bearing and velocity, is a key parameter used for identifying seismic phases and for event source location. Our method, multi-wavelet beamforming, is closely related to both time-domain and frequency-domain beamforming. The major advantage of multi-wavelet beamforming is that it produces multiple estimates of the slowness vector that are approximately statistically independent. First, a set of wavelet transforms is applied to the data in a manner analogous to the use of the windowed Fourier transform. Next, for each wavelet transform, we calculate semblance, a measure of signal coherence, for a range of possible slowness vectors. Then, the slowness vector estimate associated with that transform is the vector that produces the largest semblance value. The multiple slowness vector estimates can be treated as samples from a probability distribution, whose “center” we estimate using the mean, the median, and an M-estimator. Uncertainty intervals are calculated for these estimators by applying the jackknife statistical method. The intervals for the mean estimator appear to be true statistical confidence intervals, but the estimates can be biased by a directional noise field in low signal-to-noise circumstances. The median estimates are less biased by a directional noise field but sometimes underestimate the uncertainty. The M-estimator produces less-biased estimates while appearing to estimate correctly their uncertainty.

Considerando a importância do cuidado com a saúde mental dos estudantes e médicos veterinários, o objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a percepção dos médicos veterinários sobre o preparo obtido sobre a terminalidade da vida do paciente durante a graduação de medicina veterinária e programas de residência. Médicos veterinários matriculados em programas de residência em área profissional da saúde no estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brasil, foram convidados a responder um questionário semiestruturado. Obteve-se a participação de 31,3% (N=42) dos profissionais, os quais representam um grupo de risco para o desenvolvimento de esgotamento saúde mental considerando o sexo, idade e tempo de formação. Os treinamentos formais relativos ao gerenciamenteo de emoções quanto óbito do paciente e prática da eutanásia não foram abordados durante a graduação de mais de dois terços dos respondentes, fato que preocupantemente também é observado durante a pós-graduação. Somente 11,9% (N=2) relatam ter recebido treinamento durante a graduação para comunicar o óbito ao cliente e 9,5% (N=1) durante a residência. O estudo evidenciou que os médicos veterinários atuantes nos programas de residência do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, não tiveram preparo durante a graduação nem durante a residência para lidar com o óbito dos paciente. . A inclusão desse treinamento formação do médico veterinário por meio de disciplinas específicas podem auxiliar na formação de profissionais mais preparados, minimizando o efeito psicológico atrelado.
Ten to 13-Year Results of Delta Ceramic-on-Ceramic Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Less Than 30 Years Old
Authors: Park Jung-Wee , Ko Young-Seung , Lee Young-Kyun , Ha Yong-Chan , Koo Kyung-Hoi 
Published: March 2023

Background:
We previously reported mid-term results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using Delta ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings in 72 patients (86 hips) who were <30 years old. Noise was noted in 8 (9.3%) of the hips, no osteolysis or loosening was detected, and no patient required reoperation. The purpose of this study was to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes, complications, and survivorship at >10 years after THA using Delta CoC bearings in patients who were <30 years old.

Methods:
Cementless THA with a Delta CoC bearing was performed between March 2008 and January 2012 in 91 hips of 76 patients who were <30 years old. Eighty-five hips in 71 patients (44 men and 27 women) with a mean age of 25.9 years (range, 16 to 29 years) at surgery were followed for a mean of 10.9 years (range, 10 to 13 years).

Results:
No ceramic bearings fractured. The incidence of squeaking increased to 5.9% (5 of 85), but the squeaking was not reproducible within individual patients. Periprosthetic osteolysis developed in 3 hips (3 patients): around the stem in 2 and around the metal shell in 1. The stem in 1 hip underwent revision because of a Vancouver type-B2 periprosthetic femoral fracture. One patient with systemic lupus erythematosus underwent irrigation and debridement for periprosthetic joint infection. Survivorship free of reoperation for any reason was 92.4% (95% confidence interval, 82.4% to 100%) at 13 years.

Conclusions:
The long-term results and survivorship of Delta CoC THA in patients <30 years old were favorable.

Therapeutic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
Delayed Bilateral Tibialis Anterior Tendon Repair in an Older Man
Authors: Comadoll Shea , Ray Lucas , Overman Kelsey , Yoon Patrick 
Published: March 2023

Case:
We report a 67-year-old healthy man who sustained bilateral hyper-plantarflexion injuries falling off a ladder that resulted in bilateral tibialis anterior tendon tears one month prior to presentation. His injuries were effectively managed with bilateral delayed operative treatment. After non-weightbearing for three months, the patient was subsequently permitted to full weight bear in CAM boots for three months. At three-year follow-up he was fully functional with excellent Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM scores).

Conclusion:
The management delayed tibialis anterior tendon ruptures, whether due to traumatic or degenerative mechanisms is challenging and surgical repair can be effective when this injury occurs bilaterally.
Suprapatellar Fat Pad Impingement due to Vascular Lesion
Authors: MLV Sai Krishna , Mittal Ravi 
Published: March 2023

Case:
We present a fifteen-year-old adolescent boy with anterior knee pain and a palpable tender swelling in the suprapatellar region with painful terminal extension. Imaging was suggestive of a vascular lesion in the suprapatellar fat pad. He underwent arthroscopic debridement and postoperatively regained his terminal extension.

Conclusion:
Suprapatellar fat pad impingement can rarely be due to vascular lesions or lipomatous tumors affecting the suprapatellar fat pad. If conservative treatment is unsuccessful, surgery can provide good pain relief. The tissue excised should always be sent for histopathological examination.
Second Metatarsal Fracture During Lapidus Hallux Valgus Correction
Authors: Flaherty Alexandra F. , Chen Jie 
Published: March 2023

Case:
A 67-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis underwent Lapidus hallux valgus correction. Initial realignment was unsatisfactory, so the K-wire through the first and second metatarsals was removed. As the clamp was repositioned, the second metatarsal fractured through the K-wire hole. The Lapidus procedure was completed, and then, the fracture was fixed with a percutaneous K-wire. The tarsometatarsal fusion and second metatarsal fracture healed.

Conclusion:
Because second metatarsal structural integrity is imperative for use of the clamp, bone quality and K-wire holes from re-reduction should be considered. Although technically challenging, this case demonstrates percutaneous fracture reduction after Lapidus hallux valgus correction.

Panorama actual de las traducciones y de la investigación académica en traducción sobre J. R. R. Tolkien al español y al francés
Authors: Moreno Paz María del Carmen 
Published: March 2023

Este artículo tiene como objetivo exponer el panorama actual de las traducciones de la obra de Tolkien al francés y al español, así como realizar una revisión bibliográfica de los estudios llevados a cabo en el ámbito académico sobre la traducción de su obra. A pesar de tratarse de un autor cuya obra ha gozado de un inmenso éxito editorial y que actualmente sigue gozando de gran popularidad, la figura de Tolkien se ha visto a menudo relegada al ámbito de la «paraliteratura», a lo que se suma la escasez de investigación académica sobre su figura. Si bien en Francia y en España las traducciones se produjeron mucho más tarde que las publicaciones originales y fueron llevadas a cabo por distintos traductores, en Francia, sin embargo, gracias al interés académico de figuras como Vincent Ferré, se ha llevado a cabo recientemente un proyecto de retraducción y homogeneización de su obra. Este proyecto, además, lleva aparejado el aumento del interés en la bibliografía académica, lo que ha contribuido sin duda a la restitución del valor literario de la obra de Tolkien. Este artículo plantea, por consiguiente, la posibilidad y necesidad de un proyecto similar en España, donde la investigación académica es escasa y las traducciones se realizaron de manera poco homogénea y en diferentes periodos temporales.

The present study aims to describe the current state of Tolkien’s translations into French and Spanish, as well as to present a bibliographical review of the academic studies carried out about the translation of his work. Even though it has enjoyed a great publishing success and it is still undoubtedly popular, Tolkien’s work has often been regarded as “paraliterature”, to which it could be added the lack of academic research about his work. In France and Spain translations appeared much later than the original works and were carried out by different translators. However, in France, thanks to the academic interest of authors such as Vincent Ferré, a new retranslation and homogenization project has recently been carried out. This project has consequently increased the interest in academic literature, which has undoubtedly contributed to the restitution of the literary value of Tolkien’s work. The present contribution therefore suggests the possibility and need of a similar project in Spanish, where academic research is scarce and translations were accomplished less homogenously and in different time periods.

Authors: Sáenz Domínguez María José 
Published: March 2023

El sector vinícola ha llegado a ser uno de los sectores más importantes, así como uno de los más demandados entre países debido a la creciente internacionalización. El vino es uno de los mayores referentes culturales que tiene un país, por ello, es necesaria la correcta transmisión del lenguaje técnico de esta especialidad para poder conocer los elementos culturales de otros países. Por otro lado, la cata de vinos es un punto clave en este sector ya que la degustación posibilita su comercialización y su puesta en venta tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. En el presente trabajo se llevará a cabo un estudio de la terminología especializada de este sector, así como los diferentes problemas a los que se enfrenta un traductor y las estrategias que emplea para abordar traducciones de este tipo. Para ello, previamente se procederá a una explicación teórica referente a los lenguajes de especialidad y acerca del papel que desempeña el traductor en esta tipología y finalmente la traducción DE-ES de documentos referentes a la cata de vinos que se presentan a los compradores.

Published: March 2023

Puede resultar ariesgado acercar a los jóvenes a una música ajena a su universo sonoro, ya que una gran parte del repertorio para un coro de niños no deia de estar escrita y pensada para jóvenes, "música para niños", no siendo frecuente que se les permita acceder a otras concepciones estéticas. La Missa brevis en Re, op. 63 del compositor británico Benjamin Britten no se ciñe a un universo musical que pudiéramos calificar como "infantil", sino que explora territorios más oscuros. En este artículo estudiaremos esta obra de Britten.
Self-Attenuation of Drillstring Torsional Vibrations Using Distributed Dampers
Authors: Cayeux E. , Ambrus A. 
Published: March 2023

Summary
During drilling operations, drillstring vibrations cause many downhole dysfunctions, resulting in underperformance, equipment failure, and possibly wellbore damage. Current drillstring vibration mitigation solutions are generally located at a single site, either at the topdrive or close to the bit. However, because the sources of vibration excitation are distributed along the whole drillstring, these single-point vibration damping solutions do not succeed in removing all vibration modes. A distributed vibration damping solution is investigated, wherein damping subs are placed at intervals along the drillstring. The drillpipe rotates on bearings inside the damping subs, thereby reducing mechanical torque. The damping sub has a slightly larger diameter than the neighboring tool joints, lifting the drillstring off the borehole wall and thus eliminating most of the mechanical friction between the damping subs. Viscous friction is introduced in the form of rotary eddy current brakes within the damping subs, which cause the damping of torsional oscillations. The damping sub moves axially on spur wheels supported by bearings, thereby reducing drag forces. The decoupling of rotary and axial movement is a key element for removing a source of excitation. Simulations made with a 4n degree-of-freedom (DOF) transient torque and drag model confirm the expected results. The results of simulations for a use case based on a complex 3D trajectory are presented. With damping subs every 30 m and a damping coefficient of 20 N·s/rd, the topdrive torque is reduced to 40% of that of a plain drillstring, and torsional stability is obtained across the topdrive speed range of 60 to 180 rev/min. By comparison, conventional nonrotating pipe protectors (NRPPs) would have reduced the topdrive torque to 30%, but torsional stability would have not been achieved because the expected damping coefficient was less than 0.02 N·s/rd. The design of the damping sub relies on readily available technological components that can sustain very high pressures and temperatures. The damping subs are therefore compatible with high-pressure/high-temperature applications, including geothermal drilling.
