Treatment of posttraumatic thoracolumbar fractures using SpineJack for vertebral body augmentation, a single-center retrospective, and observational cohort study of 226 cases
Authors: Njee-Bugha Theodore , Buiret Guillaume 
Published: January 2025

Context:
Thoracolumbar spine fractures are frequent and the treatments are debatable because of the lack of randomized control studies and of low number of patient series. Percutaneous Vertebral Body Augmentation using SpineJack prosthesis (SJPVBA) followed by bracing is an available mini-invasive technique. The aim of the study was to assess the imaging and functional results of the largest homogeneous cohort of SJPVBA.

Materials and Methods:
Every patient who sustained a posttraumatic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures treated by SJPVBA from the January 6, 2012, to January 6, 2020, was retrosepctively included. The main outcome measure was the height of the vertebral body (anterior/middle/posterior parts) on the sagittal computed tomography scan. The secondary outcome measures were a 11-point Likert scale for the pain and the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire for the quality of life. All the data were compared at different times: preoperative versus day after the procedure versus at least 3 months versus (if disposable) a long-term special consultation just before the publication.

Results:
SPJVBA is a simple, quick (52-min-long on average) reliable, efficacious method to significantly improve the vertebral height (+3.5 mm and 4.3 mm of the anterior and middle vertebral heights, P < 10−5), to correct kyphosis and relieve pain (−6.5/10 on the Likert scale for pain). We also showed that there is a significant vertebral height decrease between day 1 (−2.1 mm and − 0.7 mm of the anterior and middle vertebral heights, P < 10−5 and 0.005, respectively) and 3 months but not between 3 months and the last consultation with a mean follow-up of 37 months (−0.1 mm and − 0.2 mm of the anterior and middle vertebral heights, P = 0.277 and 0.4289, respectively).

Conclusions:
SPJVBA is a simple, quick, reliable, efficacious method to improve the vertebral height, to correct kyphosis and relieve pain.

Published: January 2025

Background:
Spinal metastases are the third most common site of metastasis, with around 10% of cancer patients experiencing symptomatic spine involvement. Despite poor overall survival, recent advances in targeted therapies and minimally invasive surgical techniques have made surgery a more viable option for managing metastatic spine disease.

Objective:
Our study aims to identify perioperative risk factors associated with poor outcomes following spine surgery in the setting of spinal cord metastasis.

Methods:
We used the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data. Patients with metastatic spine disease undergoing spine surgery were identified. Our primary outcome measure was 30-day morbidity and mortality after surgery. Our secondary outcome was prolonged hospital stay. Logistic regression model for each outcome based on individual characteristics was developed.

Results:
A total of 2109 patients were included. The 30-day morbidity and mortality rates were 19.1%. Significant predictors included smoking, more than 10% body weight loss, surgical urgency, dependent status, and preoperative albumin levels. In addition, 28.6% of patients experienced a prolonged hospital stay, with significant predictors including chemotherapy, surgical urgency, dependent status, preoperative hematocrit, neurological deficits, preoperative albumin levels, and surgical complexity.

Conclusion:
Our study provides valuable insights into the risk factors associated with mortality, morbidity, and prolonged hospital stay in patients with spinal cord metastasis undergoing spine surgery. These identified factors can be instrumental in assisting clinicians with risk stratification, preoperative optimization, and postoperative care planning, ultimately improving patient outcomes. Further research and validation of these predictive models are warranted to ensure their generalizability and applicability in clinical practice.
Unilateral Habitual Anterior Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocation in an Adolescent Female: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Jyothiprasanth M. , Jithin C. R. , Thomas Akhil K. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocations are infrequent, constituting merely 3% of all shoulder dislocations, and anterior dislocations outnumber posterior dislocations. Chronic instability is a usual feature observed in both spontaneous and traumatic anterior dislocations, although the manifestation of incapacitating symptoms remains relatively uncommon. This case report presents a unique instance of habitual unilateral sternoclavicular joint dislocation in an adolescent female. A 26-year-old female nurse who noticed abnormal movement of her right collarbone's medial end during shoulder motion. Over two years, this issue progressed, occurring during daily activities. She could self-reduce the prominence, and there was no associated pain, trauma history, or co-morbidities. Examination revealed habitual right sternoclavicular joint dislocation, manageable by manual pressure. This case underscores an uncommon presentation of unilateral sternoclavicular joint dislocation in an adolescent female, prompting considerations for evaluation and management. Sternoclavicular joint dislocations are rare occurrences that pose diagnostic and treatment challenges. A collaborative and comprehensive approach, involving a multidisciplinary team, is essential for effective evaluation and management of these injuries.

Entre Acordes e Desacordos: Ecos e Desafios das Normas Tradicionais de Género na Desgarrada de Ponte de Lima
Authors: Serapicos Júlio César do Nascimento 
Published: January 2025

Objetivo: O presente estudo etnográfico tem como objetivo explorar o papel social da desgarrada minhota na (des)construção das normas tradicionais de género na comunidade limiana. A análise privilegia uma compreensão aprofundada dos fenómenos culturais a partir da interação direta com os contextos sociais em que se inserem.

Quadro Teórico: Neste estudo, a desgarrada é analisada como uma manifestação performativa e um ritual que expressa a identidade cultural da região minhota. Este ritual constitui um espaço onde os participantes reafirmam e/ou contestam as normas tradicionais de género, intrinsecamente ligadas à cultura limiana, conferindo-lhe um significado social singular que transcende o mero âmbito do entretenimento.

Método: A pesquisa adota uma abordagem etnográfica, que combina diferentes métodos para uma compreensão aprofundada do fenómeno estudado. Este trabalho de campo, conduzido ao longo de cinco anos nas Feiras Novas, inclui a análise documental, a observação participante e a análise qualitativa de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas a cantadores, cantadeiras, tocadores e membros do público habitual.

Resultados e Discussão: Os resultados demonstram que, para além de ser uma forma de entretenimento, a desgarrada desempenha um papel social na preservação da identidade cultural, ao perpetuar estereótipos de género que refletem as desigualdades existentes na sociedade limiana.

Implicações da Pesquisa: As implicações da pesquisa indicam que, embora a desgarrada funcione como um espaço performativo onde as desigualdades de género são frequentemente reforçadas e amplificadas, também oferece oportunidades para a renegociação de normas sociais. Ao proporcionar às cantadeiras a oportunidade de participação nesta performance, a desgarrada pode contribuir para a construção de narrativas alternativas de participação e poder.

Originalidade/Valor: O estudo proporciona uma visão inovadora sobre as interações entre música, género e identidade cultural. A análise de como as normas sociais são preservadas e/ou contestadas em festividades revela-se igualmente essencial para a formulação de estratégias que promovam um turismo sustentável. Estas estratégias devem equilibrar tradição e inovação, atender às necessidades tanto dos visitantes quanto das comunidades anfitriãs, assegurando a preservação do património cultural e, simultaneamente, perspetivar a adequação às transformações sociais.

Authors: Aprilian Rifky Zahrul , Sudarmawan Barianto Nurasri 
Published: January 2025

This study focuses on the analysis of socio-economic factors and bank characteristics that affect non-performing financing (NPF) in Islamic Rural Banks (BPRS) in Indonesia. The main problem raised is the high level of NPF which can threaten the financial stability of BPRS, even though financial inclusion continues to increase. The study uses the Panel Data Regression method, utilizing a sample of 139 BPRS registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) during the period 2015-2024. The results of the study show that economic inequality and operational efficiency have a significant effect on NPF, while the unemployment rate, GDP, and Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) do not show a significant effect. Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Return on Assets (ROA) are proven to have a significant impact on reducing the risk of non-performing financing. This finding emphasizes the importance of managing these variables to support the sustainability of BPRS in supporting financial inclusion and preventing the risk of bankruptcy.

Effect of Cathodic Protection Design for Galvanic-Coupled Components on Localized Corrosion Resistance of Aluminum Heat Exchanger
Authors: Lee Woo-Hyuk , Son Gyeong-Ho , Kim Geon-Il , Park Eun-Ha , Kim Jung-Gu 
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the impact of cathodic protection design on the corrosion resistance of heat exchangers (HE1, HE2). Two distinct heat exchanger assemblies underwent a 720-h cyclic corrosion test, revealing higher corrosion resistance in HE2 compared to HE1. The difference in cathodic protection design was observed at the fin-tube junction, where variations in the filler metal composition played a crucial role. Corrosion resistance was primarily influenced by the cathodic protection design at this junction rather than by the header-tube junction or the inherent corrosion susceptibility of the tube. Boundary element method simulations quantitatively confirmed that the tube’s corrosion resistance was supported by the current provided at the fin-tube junction, particularly across the fin-free zone. Optimization of the cathodic protection design was achieved by adjusting the Zn content in the filler metal at the fin-tube junction. These findings provide valuable insights for enhancing corrosion resistance in practical heat exchanger applications.
Synthesis and Properties of a New Environmentally Friendly Bicyclic Imidazoline Quaternary Ammonium Salt as a Corrosion Inhibitor of Carbon Steel

Published: January 2025

A new corrosion inhibitor, environment-friendly bicyclic imidazoline quaternary ammonium salt (DL-IM), was synthesized using DL-aspartic acid, hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine, and benzyl chloride as the main raw materials. The amidation, cyclization, and quaternization reactions were performed at 140°C for 4 h, 220°C for 3 h, and 70°C for 3 h, respectively. The structure of DL-IM was characterized by infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic hydrogen spectroscopy. The corrosion experiments of carbon steel sheets (American Petroleum Institute, API 5CT N80, primarily used in well drilling operations to protect the wellbore), protected with or without DL-IM, demonstrated that DL-IM had a good anticorrosion performance (with the inhibition efficiency and corrosion rate of 97.13% and 0.6528 mm/a, respectively) in the 1 M HCl solution at 60°C. DL-IM was a kind of cathodic protection-type corrosion inhibitor confirmed by Tafel curves. The analysis of adsorption kinetics by quantum chemical simulations demonstrated that the imidazoline ring in the DL-IM molecule can form covalent bonds with the empty d-orbitals of Fe through charge sharing. Moreover, the dipole moment of DL-IM is 1.3931 D (1 D = 3.34 × 10−30 C/m), suggesting a good hydrophobicity of DL-IM. Therefore, the adsorption film formed by DL-IM on the surface of N80 can effectively isolate the corrosive medium from N80. Thus, the successful synthesis of DL-IM provides new insight into the design and synthesis of an environment-friendly corrosion inhibitor with a stronger corrosion inhibition effect.
Pitting Behavior of a Super Ferritic Stainless Steel: Role of Primary and Secondary Precipitates After Heat Treatment

Published: January 2025

This study investigates the influence of the sigma phase in 446 stainless steel on the pitting process in a Br− environment after heat treatment, as well as its relationship with (Ti, Nb) primary precipitates. We find that the chemical dissolution of (Ti, Nb) primary precipitates takes top priority, while the formation of stable pitting tends to occur around the sigma phase at the depletion region with a size wider than at least 1.5 μm. Furthermore, the mesh-like sigma phase along grain boundaries limits the lateral growth of pitting on the surface, while increasing the tendency for vertical growth, eventually forming a mesh-like pitting morphology.
A scalable and modular reservoir implementation for large-scale integrated hydrologic simulations
Authors: West Benjamin D. , Maxwell Reed M. , Condon Laura E. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Recent advancements in integrated hydrologic modeling have enabled increasingly high-fidelity models of the complete terrestrial hydrologic cycle. These advances are critical for our ability to understand and predict watershed dynamics, especially in a changing climate. However, many of the most physically rigorous models have been designed to focus on natural processes and do not incorporate the effect of human-built structures such as dams. By not accounting for these impacts, our models are limited both in their accuracy and in the scope of the topics they are able to investigate. Here, we present the first implementation of dams and reservoirs in ParFlow, an integrated hydrologic model. Through a series of idealized and real-world test cases, we demonstrate that our implementation (1) functions as intended, (2) maintains important qualities such as mass conservation, (3) works in a real domain, and (4) is computationally efficient and can be scaled to large domains with thousands of reservoirs. Our results have the potential to improve the accuracy of current ParFlow models and enable us to ask new questions regarding conjunctive management of ground and surface water in systems with reservoirs.
