title: Soil chemical attributes under combinations of organic fertilizing and water salinity

description: ABSTRACT The use of brackish water causes chemical changes in cultivated soils. It is therefore necessary to apply strategies that can minimize its negative impacts, such as the use of organic fertilizers. This study aimed to evaluate in the field the chemical attributes of a Red Yellow Argisol under irrigation with saline water and organic fertilizing in an area cultivated with corn. The design was randomized blocks, in a split-plot scheme, with the plots comprising salinity levels for the irrigation water (0.8 and 3.0 dS m-1) and the subplots combinations of organic fertilizers (cattle manure + poultry biofertilizer + goat biofertilizer; cattle manure + goat biofertilizer; cattle manure + poultry biofertilizer; control), with four replications. The 3.0 dS m-1 irrigation has a negative effect on the soil chemical attributes, particularly reducing the pH and increasing the sodium, exchangeable sodium percentage and electrical conductivity of the soil saturation extract. The combination of cattle manure + poultry biofertilizer + goat biofertilizer mitigates the salt stress by favouring the accumulation of nitrogen and organic matter, while the cattle manure + poultry biofertilizer favours the potassium accumulation in the soil. The combination of cattle manure + poultry biofertilizer + goat biofertilizer increases the contents of phosphorus and potassium when using the 0.8 dS m-1 irrigation.

title: Food consumption is associated with frailty in edentulous older adults: evidence from the ELSI-Brazil study

description: Abstract This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the association between food consumption (meat, fish, and fruits and vegetables), anthropometric indicators (body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio), and frailty; and to verify whether these associations vary with edentulism. We used data from 8,629 participants of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil) (2015-16). Frailty was defined by unintentional weight loss, weakness, slow walking speed, exhaustion, and low physical activity. Statistical analyses included multinomial logistic regression. Of the participants, 9% were frail and 54% pre-frail. Non-regular meat consumption was positively associated with pre-frailty and frailty. Non-regular fish consumption, and underweight were associated only with frailty. Models with interactions reveled a marginal interaction between meat consumption and edentulism (p-value = 0.051). After stratification, non-regular meat consumption remained associated with frailty only in edentulous individuals (OR = 1.97; 95%CI 1.27-3.04). Our results highlight the importance of nutritional assessment, oral health, and public health-promoting policies to avoid, delay and/or reverse frailty in older adults.

title: COMPARING GAIT AND HIP SCORES IN FEMORAL NECK AND INTERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES

description: ABSTRACT Objective Treatment modality is controversial in the unstable IT fractures. Ideal hemiarthroplasty treatment for unstable IT fractures should be comparable to that for FN fractures. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare patients who underwent cementless hemiarthroplasty for a diagnosis of FN and unstable IT in terms of clinical outcomes, functional scores, and smartphone-based gait analysis data. Methods Case matching was applied to 50 patients with FN fracture and 133 patients with IT fracture who underwent hemiarthroplasty treatment, they were compared in terms of, preoperative and postoperative walking status, and Harris hip scores. Smartphone-based gait analysis was applied to 12 patients in the IT group and 14 patients in the FN group who could walk without support. Results There was no significant difference between patients with IT and FN fractures regarding Harris hip scores, preoperative, and postoperative walking status. In the gait analysis, gait velocity, cadence, step time, step length, and step time symmetry values were observed to be significantly better in patients in the FN group. Conclusion Cementless hemiarthroplasty operations for unstable IT fractures have similar hip scores to FN fractures. However, the walking speed and walking symmetry data were seen to be worse. This result should be considered in the selection of appropriate treatment. Level of evidence III; Retrospective study.

title: Dynamic response of piled structures including pile-soil-pile interaction

description: Abstract This article presents a numerical model and analyses of the dynamic response of structures supported by groups of piles. The model uses a finite element discretization to represent arbitrarily-shaped structures, and a coupled finite-boundary element scheme to represent the embedded pile group. This scheme properly takes into account the energy transferred from the structure to the piles and between piles through the soil, so that the effect of dynamic pile-soil-pile interaction in the response of the structure can be studied. The model is used to analyze the dynamic response of a wind turbine tower and foundation blocks of various designs. The results show that some common design approximations may result in considerable misrepresentation of the response of these structures. The model is also used to analyze cases in which the only source of excitation to a structure comes through the soil from neighboring structures. The results showed that the farther the structure is from the source of vibration, the lower its amplitude of vibration and that the taller the structure, the lower its resonant frequencies. These analyses are only possible with models like the one presented in this article, which are able to describe the energy exchanged through the soil by the piles in a group.

title: The association between multiple cardiovascular risk factors and overweight in Brazilian adolescents: an analysis based on the grade of membership

description: Abstract The aim of the current research is to analyze the coexistence of modifiable risk behaviors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in 12-to-17-year-old adolescents living in Brazil and their influence on overweight. National, cross-sectional, school-based epidemiological study focused on estimating the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome in 12 to 17 year old adolescents enrolled in public and private schools in Brazilian counties accounting for more than 100 thousand inhabitants. The grade of membership method was used to identify the coexistence of risk factors among adolescents. The analytical sample comprised 71,552 adolescents. According to the two herein generated profiles, adolescents classified under Profile 2 have shown behaviors such as smoking, alcohol consumption and diet rich in Ultra-processed food intake ≥ 80% of the percentage of total caloric value. In addition, adolescents presenting CVD risk profile have shown increased likelihood of being overweight. The study has found coexistence of risk factors for CVD in Brazilian adolescents, with emphasis on tobacco smoking and alcoholic beverage intake. In addition, it heads towards the analysis of the association between CVD risk factors and health outcomes, such as overweight.

title: Comparative evaluation of design codes for buckling assessment of a steel spherical shell

description: Abstract This work focuses on the comparative evaluation of the buckling capacity of steel spherical shells subjected to external pressure with existing design codes. The recorded experimental data of buckled spherical shells are compared with the calculated buckling pressure using design codes such as (i) European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS), (ii) Det Norske Veritas (DnV), (iii) British Standard (PD 5500) and (iv) American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). The selected experimental data are widely used in industrial applications. The experimental data are categorised as 'thin-shell', 'moderate-shell' and 'thick-shell' and reviewed against selected design codes. The comparative analysis clearly shows that the DnV design code with a deviation of 3.6% is well suited to estimate the buckling capacity of 'thick shells", while PD 5500 with a deviation of 9% to 50% is better suited for "medium and thin' shells. On the other hand, statistical analysis shows that PD 5500 is close to 1.0 with the value of COV (i.e., 1.281 and 9.383%). Further analysis of 28 steel spherical shell test data is performed and compared with the plotted curves in the format of PD 5500 and ECCS. The result shows that 3 test data are below the lower limit curve specified in the design guideline for ECCS, indicating that PD 5500 is the more conservative design guideline.

title: DOES PARTIAL MEDIAL KNEE ARTHROPLATIES HAVE BETTER RESULTS THAN TOTAL ONES?

description: ABSTRACT Objective Compare the results of medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) using a mobile platform and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with isolated medial osteoarthritis. Methods Retrospectivecross-sectional study. Preoperative radiographs of 602 patientswho underwent knee arthroplastybetween February 2017 and February 2020 were evaluated. Isolated medial osteoarthritis was found in 125 patients. Of these, 57 underwent UKA and 68 TKA. With chart analysis and telephone interviews, we compared patients’ clinical outcomes and degree of satisfaction. The statistical analysis used a confidence level of 5%. Results The group of UKA patients obtained 65.8% of favorable results against 79.1% of those undergoing TKA in the function questionnaire (p&lt;0.0001). The complication rate was statistically similar between the groups(p&gt;0.5). Most patients were satisfied or very satisfied in both groups (88.6% of UKA and 91.2% of TKA) (p&gt;0.999). Conclusion Patients submitted to UKA or TKA have presented the same degree of satisfaction and rate of postoperative complications when comparing patients with isolated medial osteoarthritis. UKA patients had less favorable results onthe clinical functional questionnaire than patients undergoing total arthroplasty. Level Of Evidence III;Retrospective Study.

title: “I Study When All My Family is Asleep”. Gender, Time and Space in Online Education in the COVID-19 Pandemic,

description: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has radically altered the ways of working, studying, and interacting globally, forcing people and communities to reinterpret their daily activities. This study analyzes the changes experienced by working mothers who began distance studies at an Argentine university during the second year of the pandemic. Results indicated how spaces and time were transformed, and gender inequalities deepened. The pandemic, above all, impacted the positions and negotiations that working mothers managed to establish to continue studying in a virtual university environment. In these cases, conquering time and space for learning is, at the same time, an act of acceptance and innovation as a woman.

title: PROXIMAL HUMERAL LOCKING PLATE: A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE FOR FIXATION OF DISTAL FEMORAL FRACTURES IN CHILDREN

description: ABSTRACT Distal femoral metaphyseal fractures are rare in children, and the proximity of the fracture to the growth plate makes their approach challenging. Objective Evaluate outcomes and complications of treatment of distal femoral metaphyseal fractures in children with proximal humeral locking plates. Method Retrospective study between 2018 and 2021, including seven patients. The analysis included general characteristics, trauma mechanism, classification, clinical and radiographic outcomes, and complications. Results The mean follow-up was 20 months, the average age was nine years, five patients were boys, and six fractured on the right side. Five fractures were caused by car accidents, one by falling from their own height and one by playing soccer. Five fractures were classified as 33-M/3.2 and two as 33-M/3.1. Three fractures were open, Gustilo IIIA. All seven patients recovered mobility and resumed their pre-trauma activities. All seven healed, and one fracture was reduced to 5 degrees valgus, without any other complications. Six patients had the implant removed and did not present refracture. Conclusion Treatment of distal femoral metaphyseal fractures with proximal humeral locking plates is a viable option that offers good results and fewer complications, saving the epiphyseal cartilage. Level of Evidence II; Controlled study without randomization.
