Published: November 2022

Abstract
Importance: Critically ill neonates can be vulnerable to positional deformities and joint contractures. Early splints, along with dynamic exercise, may lead to long-term functional improvement. Making splints to perfectly contour neonates’ small joints and bodies is challenging. An ill-fitted splint can lead to skin ulcers, nerve damage, poor compliance, and discomfort. Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been applied to create customized, cost-effective, and lightweight orthoses that may be promising for neonates.
Objective: To explore the feasibility of scanning, designing, and printing 3D splints for neonates.
Setting: A large neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in a university teaching hospital.
Method: Case series of three neonates in a NICU who had deformities or joint contractures that would benefit from early static splints. We created customized splints for neonates using 3D scanning, digital design software, and 3D printing technology. We monitored the neonates’ comfort and clinical improvement.
Results: One neonate with a congenital neck deformity had a neck splint created from 3D body-scanned images. Another neonate with a hand deformity was measured and had 3D digitally designed hand splints made. The same hand splint design was modified to fit a third neonate’s hand with new measurements. All splints were 3D printed using specialized lightweight materials. The neonates tolerated the splints well.
Conclusions and Relevance: 3D printing technology is feasible for and applicable to NICU neonates. Advancing 3D technology should focus on upgrading scanning quality, improving splint design, and speeding up printing. Further research to evaluate the long-term benefits of early splinting is needed.
What This Article Adds: This is the first published article to discuss the feasibility of using 3D printing technology to create customized splints for fragile neonates. Neonates, especially critically ill ones with congenital defects, may benefit from early splinting to preserve function and development. Neonates are the most challenging patients to make a perfect-fit splint for, and 3D printing may offer a potential solution.

PurposeThe relative age effect (RAE) is a widely reported phenomenon in elite sports context. However, little is known about its occurrence in other levels of practice, such as school sports. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the presence of RAE on Mato Grosso state (Brazil) student-athletes participating in National School Games depending on sex, age category, and sport type.MethodsData from 440 student-athletes of Mato Grosso state (Brazil) who participated in 2 National School Games: 2019 Youth School Games (<i>n</i> = 250) and 2021 Brazilian School Games (<i>n</i> = 190) were organized depending on their quarters of birth. Chi-square tests were performed to compare their birthdates distribution in accordance with sex (male and female), age category (12–14 years old and 15–17 years old), and sport type (team and individual sports).ResultsAthletes born in the first months of the year were more frequent than athletes born in the last months of the year in the overall sample, in males, in the younger age category, and in team sports (<i>p</i> < 0.008). On the other hand, no differences were found for females, athletes from the older age category, or athletes practising individual sports (<i>p</i> > 0.05).ConclusionsRAE is pervasive in the student-athletes of Mato Grosso state (Brazil), specifically for male athletes in early categories of team sports. Educating coaches regarding this effect and implementing specific counter-RAE interventions are warranted to minimize selection bias in this sports context.

Published: November 2022

IntroductionMuscle enzymes are an indicator of ongoing muscle damage and disease activity in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. Although platelet-related parameters have been shown to be useful as markers of disease activity in autoimmune diseases, the relationship between platelet distribution width (PDW) and disease activity has not been previously studied in polymyositis. We aimed to determine the relationship between PDW and disease activity in patients with polymyositis.Material and methodsTwenty-seven patients with polymyositis and thirty healthy controls were included in the study. Disease activity was evaluated using the myositis disease activity assessment Visual Analogue Scale (MYOACT) and the Myositis Intention to Treat Index (MITAX). The relationship between PDW and disease activity was evaluated using Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlation and reliability was assessed using correlation coefficients.ResultsThe mean platelet volume (MPV) and plateletcrit (PCT) were significantly higher and PDW was significantly lower in patients with polymyositis compared to the control group. The mean PDW levels were lower in patients with constitutional symptoms and arthralgia/arthritis (p < 0.005). Although PDW levels were lower in patients with mechanical hand, lung involvement, or dysphagia compared to patients without, there was no statistically significant difference between them. Platelet distribution width was found to be negatively correlated with disease activity.ConclusionsWe found that PDW was negatively correlated with MYOACT and MITAX, widely used tools in assessing the disease activity of polymyositis. Based on this, PDW may be utilized as a non-invasive potential index to assess disease activity in patients with polymyositis.

Published: November 2022

Ayurveda has bestowed positive and comprehensive healthcare to mankind since very early times. Several classical litterateurs were created since ancient times, these all are available as a source of knowledge of Ayurveda in the present scenario. Among that classical works of literature, Lolimbariija's 'Vaidyajivana' is a significant work from both a medical and literary aspect. Because of his fundamentalism, brevity, and precision in medical therapy as well as poetic merit, he has placed a higher value on uncomplicated treatments. Vajikarana is often mentioned with synonyms like Vrishya and sukrala and is defined as a procedure or drug which enhances the vigor and vitality of males. Sushruta has given the comprehensive definition by quoting 'Vajikaran tantra' as the science which deals with the treatment or management of Alpa (less), Dusta (diseased), Kshina (less potent), Vishuska (dry) Retas (semen), and also increase pleasure during sex. Vaidyajivana has documented easily accessible and very effective formulations for various ailments. In the 5th chapter of Vaidyajivana, various Vajikara herbs are mentioned for the treatment of male sexual disorders, which are easily available and very practical. Therefore, the need of the hour is critically reviewing these Vajikara herbal drugs which act on recent aphrodisiac and seminal parameters for validating and improving practice.

140 years ago: the German station at South Georgia (South Atlantic) of the First International Polar Year (1882–1883)
Authors: Lüdecke Cornelia 
Published: November 2022

Abstract. During the First International Polar Year (1882–1883) in the Arctic, Germany set up a meteorological and magnetic station at South Georgia in the South Atlantic, where the transit of Venus in front of the Sun on 6 December 1882 could also be observed. After the return of the expedition the station decayed over the years. Otto Nordenskjöld's Swedish Antarctic expedition and Wilhelm Filchner's German Antarctic expedition passed by in 1902 and 1911, respectively, and gave some information about the status of the huts and scientific installations. 100 years after the polar year only some relics remained. The paper describes the historical station and wants to encourage an archeological investigation to learn more about the social life of the station members.

This study was conducted to investigate the moderating role of social connectedness on forgiveness and subjective happiness among adults. The population selected for this study was the public and private universities located in the Multan district and the sample size was consisted on 300 adults by using simple random technique. The correlational research design was used to conduct this study. The Heartland Forgiveness Scale which was proposed by the Thompson and Synder (2003), Subjective Happiness Scale measured by Lyubomirsky and Lepper (1999), and the revised version of Social Connectedness Scale of the Lee and Robbins (1995) developed by Lee et al. (2001) were used as assessing tools for this study. Further, SPSS has used to compute and analyze the data, and bivariate correlation, linear regression analysis, normality test, standard deviation and was used to analyze the data used in current study. Moreover, the results of the current study indicated a positive effect of forgiveness on subjective happiness among adults. However, there was a significant positive correlation between forgiveness and social connectedness as well as between subjective happiness and social connectedness among adults. The results also revealed a moderating effect of social connectedness on forgiveness and subjective happiness and there was no any variation in terms of gender for variables i-e subjective happiness and social connectedness indicated in the results. However, the results proved females to be more forgiving than males as the p value found was smaller than 0.001***. Thus, current study has beneficial implications in terms of a better life.
Strength Properties of No-fines Concrete with Supplementary Cementitious
Materials
Authors: Ahmed Zaheer 
Published: November 2022

No-fines concrete is a form of lightweight concrete. This concrete has zero-slump, uncluttered graded material consisting of Ordinary Portland Cement. This concrete only consists of coarse aggregate, water, and sometimes admixtures such as Silica Fume, GGBS, and Fly Ash. Because this type of concrete contains little sand or no
sand, that why it is sometimes known as ”no-fines” concrete. This type of concrete has a high void content ratio which is approximately about 30% of the total mass of its volume, this type of concrete is becoming prevalent now a day due to its probable decrease in the surface runoff to the drainage systems of surface or rainwater. No-fines concrete has large open pores within its body hence less heat transfer. This type of concrete has effective application in little loading intensity such as walkways, parking pavements, footpaths, and highways sub-base. This concrete is deliberated as an Eco-friendly Defender Agency (EPA) for as long as contamination control and underground recharging source. Hence, the no-fines concrete mix was prepared without sand, and cement was replaced with a dosage of Silica Fume 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5%, respectively. It has been found that the no-fines concrete’s strength increased as soon as the dosage was increased. It was observed that concrete gained the maximum strength at 7.5% dosage of Silica Fume; after that dosage, strength decreased slowly and gradually. Hence while the silica fume is being used, its replacement should not be more than 7.5%

Edogā-aran-pō and Edogawa Rampo: Repetition, Reversal, and Rewriting of Poe in Rampo
Authors: Hughes Sandra S. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Japanese modernist writer Taro Hirai (1894–1965) admired Poe so much that he crafted a pseudonym, Edogawa Rampo, based on Poe’s name. I contend that Rampo’s reimaginings of “The Masque of the Red Death” in “The Red Chamber” and of “The Man That Was Used Up” in “The Caterpillar” correspond closely with the aesthetic principles of 1920s and ’30s Japan. One might say that by the age of modernism in Japan, Poe’s grotesque and arabesque had (d)evolved into erotic grotesque nonsense. What Rampo’s deliberate misreadings and his inventive rewritings teach us is that Poe is endlessly contemporary. The relationship between the two writers is not so much a one-way influence as a reverberation or an oscillation between Poe and Rampo. Rampo’s work offers a creative retelling that is modern and Japanese and maybe even changes the way we look at Poe.
The Earliest Dutch-Language Translations of Poe’s Tales, 1845–1900
Authors: Motten J. P. Vander , Uytterschout Sien 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Whereas Poe’s influence on many national literatures has been the subject of serious scholarly investigation, no attention has been paid to the nineteenth-century Dutch-language imitations, adaptations, and translations of his tales in the Netherlands and Flanders. Based on unexplored evidence in contemporary journals and newspapers, this contribution fills this gap by examining the earliest of such translations, published in the first seventeen years after the author’s death. The appendix provides the first-ever catalog of recoverable translations and adaptations of Poe’s tales until 1900. While even before 1860 Poe’s name featured in literary surveys, reference works, and newspaper items, Dutch-language versions of his tales throughout the nineteenth century appeared only sporadically. For various sociolinguistic, political, and educational reasons, the versions published in the Netherlands antedated and outnumbered those produced in Flanders. Usually offered to the reading public in condensed form, the earliest translations and adaptations were derived from both intermediate source texts—French, German, and British—and from original Poe editions. Plans for the publication of selections of Poe’s prose works in the 1850s and 1860s foundered; not until the late nineteenth century were Dutch-language audiences given access to more than a sprinkling of Poe’s tales.

Patients and methods: 26 patients with non small cell lung cancer were interviewed for assessment of histopathological subtypes and stages according to TNM classification and treated at Department of Clinical Oncology and Nuclear Medicine (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy and surgical treatment were scheduled), they underwent to sleep questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Score (ESS).overnight full polysomnography was done.
Race around the Mountain
Authors: Leedy Todd H. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Early accounts place the origins of bicycle racing among the Coloured population of Cape Town at the turn of the twentieth century. By 1930, an active sporting landscape had emerged that included numerous organized clubs, regular road and track events, a regional organizing board, and an established set of local racing stars. Yet as the period moved forward, competitive cycling became subject to a set of larger forces that would affect uses of urban public space, access to municipal facilities, and community support for clubs. While some aspects of this history parallel the growth of bicycle racing in the Johannesburg area, the Cape scene differed significantly. To reconstruct this history, the article attempts to not only establish a baseline for the rich set of characters and events through these years but also place them into a broader context to assess the relationship between sport and resilience under a divided system.
Spurs Fandom in San Antonio
Authors: Galindo David Christopher 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Scholars have long debated why people are enthralled by the spectacle of professional sports and how teams affect local communities. The influence of these organizations on the places and people they represent can be profound, but fans can make indelible impressions on society as well. This article explores the history of a cohort of San Antonio Spurs supporters and reveals the fan culture present for a time in a particular sporting space. It contends these fans were not mere consumers of sport but agents who represented a place and produced meaningful experiences and relationships. However, over time, this agency diminished due to league and organizational decisions.
Mosqueing the Marketplace: Business as (Un)Usual in Hamtramck
Authors: Howell Sally 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Hamtramck, Michigan, is the first Muslim-majority city in the US, has the nation's first all Muslim city council, and likely boasts the highest number of mosques per capita as well. Yet as recently as the 1970s, Hamtramck was the center of the Polish diaspora, and was home instead to the nation's highest concentration of bars. Muslim entrepreneurs, primarily from Yemen and Bangladesh, stand poised to revitalize Hamtramck's economy by investing in the city's growing halal marketplace. This article explores two recent efforts to revitalize the city's economy, especially its downtown business district, and the ways in which conflicts over space there are quickly translated into an idiom of religious belonging or exclusion. The symbiotic relationship that exists in metro Detroit between mosques and small businesses may be a healthy one in economic terms, but it also extends the sphere of cultural and religious praxis for Muslims and non-Muslims alike and is therefore met with resistance by many of the same people who consume, market, and embody this distinction, even as they also work to disrupt and redefine what it means.
