Analysis of fixation modalities in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: To study the functional outcome of arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using Lysholm scoring system. Methods: This was a prospective, interventional outcome study of 64 patients presenting to the department of Orthopaedics at Dr RML Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow during October 2015 to October 2016 and were diagnosed to have ACL tear both clinically and radiologically. Patients were selected through a stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the patients were subjected to ACL reconstruction by arthroscopic technique. Follow-up was done at three weeks, six weeks, three months, six months, nine months and one-year interval to assess the progress of rehabilitation by clinical examination and Lysholm scores. Results: Total 64 patients were included in the study. The age group of patients ranged from 18-45 years. Most of the patients (60.37%) were of physically active age group (18-30) years. Most common mode of injury was road traffic accident in 37.5% of cases followed by sports activity in 29.68%. Most of the patients came with the time duration of 1-5 months since the date of injury. The most common complaint was of the instability of knee in the form of giving way evaluated by Lachman test. The pre-operative mean Lysholm knee score was 69.06. Around 82.75% of patients reported outcome as excellent and good according to Lysholm score in the postoperative period. Anterior knee pain was the most common postoperative complaint.Conclusion: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by quadrupled hamstring tendon graft gives satisfactory results in short-term follow-up regarding patient satisfaction, and return to near normal activity. Large-scale study with long-term follow-up is required to corroborate findings of the study and to find out long-term functional results.
The Measurement of Saliva and Tongue Coating pH in Patients with Physiological Halitosis before and after Using Selected Mouthwashes

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Abstract. To analyze saliva and tongue coating pH in healthy patients with physiological halitosis before and after usage of 5 different types of mouthwash available in Malaysia. A quasi-experimental study was conducted among preclinical IIUM dental students aged 18 to 21 years old. Organoleptic evaluation was conducted by the operator to rank their organoleptic score followed by self-assessment by the participants. Saliva and tongue coating pH we measured respectively beforehand, immediately after and 30 minutes after rinsing with 5 different mouthwashes using a digital pH meter and pH strip indicator respectively; 100 participants were assigned into 5 groups, with 20 samples for each brand. Intraclass correlation coefficient between examiners ranged from 0.76-1.0. Data were analyzed statistically by repeated measure ANOVA test for each brand of mouthwash. Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) + test was also used to statistically analyze different pH trends among the five brands of mouthwashes. Significant increase of salivary pH was observed after using MW2 (p<0.001) and MW4 (p=0.015). Significant reduction in salivary pH was observed when using MW5 (p=0.001). For tongue coating pH, significant reduction was observed after using MW2 (p<0.0010), MW3 (p=0.012), and MW4 (p=0.001). However, there was a significant increase in tongue coating pH after using MW5 (p=0.0125). Rinsing with mouthwashes MW2, MW3 and MW4 decreased tongue coating pH, which leads to reduced physiological halitosis

Wnt is here! Could Wnt signalling be promoted to protect against Alzheimer disease?

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract This Editorial highlights an article in the current issue by Tapia‐Rojas and Inestrosa suggesting that attenuation of Wnt signalling may be a triggering factor for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) in the J20 mouse model of AD. Their study utilises Wnt signalling inhibitors that operate at different points in the signalling pathway. The molecular changes of several key Wnt signaling components are examined, along with a thorough analysis of both the amyloid and tau based pathologies in the mouse brain. Studies focusing on inhibition of Wnt signalling in AD mice have the potential to provide much needed information regarding the pathological mechanisms by which attenuated Wnt signalling impacts on AD. image
DELAYED PRODUCTION OF POLIOMYELITIS ANTIBODIES

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

It is difficult to understand why neutralizing antibodies against poliomyelitis virus are not always found in the serums of patients immediately after they recover from the acute stage of the disease. In a few instances in my experience they did not appear until a long time after recovery. There has been some parallel experimental evidence in animals, for it has been found that when a horse is inoculated with poliomyelitis virus some time may elapse before antibodies appear. With 2 horses it was found that the first specimens of blood, taken within a few weeks after the end of a series of injections of virus, not only failed to neutralize the virus but actually caused an accelerated production of the disease in Macaca mulatta monkeys. The poliomyelitis antiserum obtained from 1 horse described previously1contained potent antibodies which could neutralize not only homologous (Flexner's M. V.) but several heterologous
Risk assessment of cholera epidemic in Cameroon

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Risk assessment and forecasting are vital for the development of preparedness and response to epidemics. Despite the age-long burden of cholera around the world, cholera epidemics are still a recurrent health challenge in Cameroon. This research contributes to the risk assessment of cholera in Cameroon by examining the influence of climatic, environmental, and socioeconomic factors on a cholera outbreak. The assessment involved identifying, evaluating, and aggregating the cholera risk factors to construct a spatial risk index using the INFORM conceptual equal weighting framework. Our findings reveal that not all indicators identified in the literature are relevant to cholera incidences in the context of Cameroon. Cholera is endemic in Cameroon but is more prominent in the southern regions of Cameroon. We show that the risk index developed in this study is statistically valid for the cholera incidence over the period considered. Although this assessment provides an overview of the risk levels of the regions in Cameroon, it may not be useful for estimating epidemic risk at a higher resolution. Further studies should be conducted to assess localized trends of cholera in relation to identified risk factors.
Effect of zinc supplementation on reproductive performance of Teressa goat

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Aim: The present study evaluates the effect of dietary zinc supplementation on reproductive and productive performance of Teressa goat, an indigenous species of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Materials and Methods: Eighteen female goats were randomly divided into 3 groups of 6 animals each; (A) control with basal ration without any zinc supplementation (B) Treatment 1 with basal ration supplemented with 50 ppm zinc oxide (C) Treatment 2 with basal ration supplemented with 100 ppm zinc oxide. Different reproductive parameters, e.g. numbers of days to oestrus, the incidence of oestrus, pregnancy rate, kidding rates and weight of kids were recorded. Results: Data indicated that the supplementation of different levels of inorganic zinc oxide significantly increased the incidence of oestrus (33%), pregnancy rate (12%), kidding rate (5%) and resulted in shorter onset (8 days) of oestrus as compared to the control. The mean body weight and daily weight gain of kids born to supplemented does were significantly (p<0.05) higher than the kids born to control. Conclusion: The supplementation of 50 to 100 ppm zinc oxide to the basal diet of Teressa goat significantly improved different productive and reproductive parameters.
High β‐diversity in fig wasp communities driven by species turnover in widely distributed Neotropical fig trees

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with three widely distributed Neotropical fig species – F. citrifolia, F. obtusifolia and F. pertusa – using 27 years of spatially extensive sampling across Brazil, Costa Rica and Ecuador. We quantified β‐diversity using the Sørensen index and its components of turnover and nestedness. For all three Ficus species, β‐diversity was high (0.87–0.90), driven primarily by species turnover (85–96% of β‐diversity). Wasp guilds, i.e. gall inducers, kleptoparasites and parasitoids, presented similarly high turnover values. Our results showed that life‐history traits play a role in the variation of β‐diversity, as gall‐inducing species are more host‐specific. In contrast, kleptoparasitic and parasitoid wasps are more likely to use multiple hosts. Mantel tests revealed that both total β‐diversity and the turnover component were often positively correlated with geographic distance, particularly for the most sampled fig species. Despite the exceptional dispersal capacities reported for several fig wasp lineages, our results suggest that competition for limited fig inflorescence resources, along with natural selection for local adaptation, can restrict species' geographic ranges, thus promoting higher levels of species turnover. These findings underscore the complex interplay between dispersal ability, local adaptation and competitive interactions in shaping the composition of fig wasp communities. Consequently, fig wasp systems present a compelling model for investigating the ecological and evolutionary processes driving biodiversity dynamics in specialized plant–insect interactions.
Rejecting and Embracing the Monstrous in Ancient Greece

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The Greeks adapted many of their monsters from the Near East, but it was in
ancient Greek culture that monsters reached an apogee of sorts, with both pictorial
and literary depictions of monsters flourishing to a degree not seen before.1 For the
Greeks, monsters embodied a variety of fears: the potential of chaos to overcome
order, of irrationality to prevail over reason; the potential victory of nature
against the encroaching civilizations of mankind; the little-understood nature of
the female in contrast to the male. The Greek myths repeatedly present monsters
being conquered by gods and men; the forces of order, reason, civilization, and
patriarchy inevitably prevail in Greek thought.
Characterization of RTEL/PCNA interaction in the maintenance of genomic stability

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Previously, we have demonstrated that a DNA helicase-like protein, termed RTEL (regulator of telomere length) is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability. RTEL deficiency induced telomere loss and genomic instability, leading to embryonic lethality. However, the role of RTEL in these biological pathways is largely unknown. To uncover RTEL’s function(s), we applied several approaches to identify the proteins that could interact with RTEL. Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA), the key regulator of the replication fork, was found to be a strong candidate. In this study, we have demonstrated the interaction between RTEL and PCNA. Further characterization of the interaction between RTEL and PCNA revealed that the interaction is important for maintaining genomic stability. Due to the essential role of PCNA in nucleic acid metabolism as a component of the replication and repair machinery, its interaction with RTEL could be the key to the role of RTEL in the maintenance of genomic stability and mouse development. Along with a bioinformatics approach, we have employed several biochemical approaches to identify the interaction of PCNA with RTEL. Using co-immunoprecipitation, we have demonstrated that RTEL can specifically interact with PCNA. A PCR-based mutagenesis method was used to mutate the PCNA-interacting motif (PIP) in RTEL. Further we have demonstrated that several key amino acids in the PIP motif are responsible for mediating RTEL/PCNA interaction by using co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence studies. Using a gene-targeting approach, we have specifically knocked-in a mutant RTEL with a mutation in PIP motif into mouse genome. Thus we have developed a transgenic mouse model to study the significance of the interaction between RTEL/PCNA in vivo. This study not only validated the interaction of RTEL with PCNA, via the PIP box, but also generated the RTEL PIP mutant alleles for further functional analysis by transgenic approaches. We have employed biochemical and cytogenetic studies to characterize the phenotypes in RtelI1169A/I1169A mouse. This is the first direct genetic approach to address whether PCNA is an important downstream mediator of RTEL’s function in the regulation of genomic integrity
Direct Care Workers Pathways Program: A Strategy for Seamless Academic Progression

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Nationally, there is a great demand for systems that meet the needs of local employers as well as develop tools and training for their incumbent workers. Concurrently, demand for healthcare professionals is growing and projected to continue for the next decade. Worcester State University created the “Direct Care Workforce Development Program” to offer a pathway for nontraditional-aged students in direct care positions to advance to higher-level jobs with family sustaining wages. Direct care workers (DCWs) (e.g., patient care assistant) encounter challenges in a quest to continue their education. They may be non-native speakers, lack a foundation in basic numeracy skills, or lack experience with technology. Therefore, DCWs require many support services for success in professional health-studies programs. In response, a partnership emerged between an urban medical center, state university, and labor union to provide academic pathways for DCWs to progress in careers through higher education. Two cohorts of DCWs from the medical center enrolled in the program, which provided courses totaling nine college credits. Career maps, containing action steps towards goals, and individual coaching helped DCWs define their aspirations. Many workers who completed the program matriculated into two and four-year professional programs, while others plan to do so in the future.
Slowest and fastest information scrambling in the strongly disordered XXZ model

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We present a perturbation method to compute the out-of-time-ordered correlator in the strongly disordered Heisenberg XXZ model in the deep many-body localized regime. We characterize the discrete structure of the information propagation across the eigenstates, revealing a highly structured light cone confined by the strictly logarithmic upper and lower bounds representing the slowest and fastest scrambling available in this system. We explain these bounds by deriving the closed-form expression of the effective interaction for the slowest scrambling and by constructing the effective model of a half length for the fastest scrambling. We extend our lowest-order perturbation formulations to the higher dimensions, proposing that the logarithmic upper and lower light cones may persist in a finite two-dimensional system in the limit of strong disorder and weak hopping.
Role of Vitamin K in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Focus on Bone and Cardiovascular Health

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is commonly associated with vitamin K deficiency. Some of the serious complications of CKD are represented by cardiovascular disease (CVD) and skeletal fragility with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. A complex pathogenetic link between hormonal and ionic disturbances, bone tissue and metabolism alterations, and vascular calcification (VC) exists and has been defined as chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Poor vitamin K status seems to have a key role in the progression of CKD, but also in the onset and advance of both bone and cardiovascular complications. Three forms of vitamin K are currently known: vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), vitamin K2 (menaquinone), and vitamin K3 (menadione). Vitamin K plays different roles, including in activating vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs) and in modulating bone metabolism and contributing to the inhibition of VC. This review focuses on the biochemical and functional characteristics of vitamin K vitamers, suggesting this nutrient as a possible marker of kidney, CV, and bone damage in the CKD population and exploring its potential use for promoting health in this clinical setting. Treatment strategies for CKD-associated osteoporosis and CV disease should include vitamin K supplementation. However, further randomized clinical studies are needed to assess the safety and the adequate dosage to prevent these CKD complications.

Do peaceful conflict management methods pose problems in posttotalitarian Poland?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Mediation as a conflict management procedure is a new phenomenon in Poland. This article examines the fundamental barriers to its introduction there: traditional patterns of thinking about conflict, approaches to the resolution of conflict, and current political and economic conditions. The problems of introducing a procedure based on the concepts of process experts into a society where social expectations and cultural tradition differ from those in the United States are described. The article discusses how the mediation procedure can be adapted in Poland to incorporate conditions specific to the country.
