Stabilization of juxtza-articular hand fractures with the miniexternal fixateur

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Juxta-articular hand fractures can be stabilized using miniexternal fixation. The fixateur maintains fracture reduction because of “ligamentotaxis.” In representative case example half-frame mountings are appiled and left in place for 4 weeks. Patients have intensive physical therapy to restore joint mobility. Review of 109 cases including 49 closed fractures and 29 open fractures showed 84% good-to-very-good result. Miniexternal fixation appears to offer advantages over cast or other operative treatments for juxta-articular hand fractures.
Accelerometry in sport

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The possibilities to analyse various sports movements and activities, their techniques and dynamics are deepening and enhancing with the rapid development of modern technologies. It subsequently enables to improve and enhance sports techniques, performances and efficiency, to prevent possible injuries, to enhance training methods, and to reach sports results of higher quality. The use of accelerometry to observe, examine and analyse various movements and their techniques and dynamics in different human physical and sports activities has become of high prominence in several recent decades. The goal of the paper is to illustrate some possibilities of the use of accelerometry to analyse these aspects in the field of sport, in selected cyclic and acyclic sports. The study aims to outline and indicate a way of possible examination, observation and analysis of the data acquired by accelerometry measurements.
Control of Ovulation as a Practical Reproductive Management Tool in Cattle

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Infertility in cattle is often caused by poor estrus detection which results in insemination timing error. Estrus detection failure is also a major cause of missing heat and delayed start of re-breeding after carving. Synchronization of estrus by using gestagen or prostaglandin (PG) F2α has been extensively used for improving estrus detection efficiency. However, variation in intervals from treatment to estrus was too large for the existing estrus synchronization methods to be of practical value, for a timed artificial insemination after treatment with gestagen or PGF2α results in disappointing conception rates. Recently, a program for synchronization of estrus using GnRH and PGF2α has been developed. GnRH is administered at first irrespective of estrus cycle to induce ovulation of dominant follicle and a follicular wave, and then PGF2α is given 7 days later for luteal regression, followed by second GnRH injection 30 to 48 hours after the PGF2α. Cattle can be inseminated artificially at a fixed time, 16 to 24 hours after the second GnRH, since ovulation is usually synchronized 24 to 32 hours after the second GnRH. Satisfactory pregnancy rates after synchronization of ovulation and timed AI have been reported in north America as well as in Japan. The greatest advantage of the ovulation synchronization and timed AI program is that virtually 100% of the animals can be inseminated within a certain period with a satisfactory pregnancy rate. Moreover, the program does not require estrus detection. Further studies on the synchronization programs and on factors influencing conception rate after timed AI would significantly improve reproductive management of cattle.
The Physical Nature of Materials Strengths

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The strength of a material is assessed most often by means of a tensile test. For a given material the fracture strength can be calculated by σF = Fmax/A0. For a bulk metallic glassy specimen, it often fails in a shear mode, and the shear fracture surface makes an angle of θT=56° with respect to the tension axis. Such shear fracture behavior has been widely observed in many metallic glasses. Consequently, this gives rise to some interesting and significant questions. Which is the real tensile strength of a metallic glass? Why do metallic glasses often fail neither along the maximum normal stress plane (θT =90°) nor along the maximum shear stress plane (θT = 45°) under tensile loading? What is the physical nature of the materials strength?
Lead-free piezoelectric materials with low sintering temperature

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

This report aims to study strategies of lowering sintering temperature of lead free(KNN) based piezoelectric ceramics and investigate their microstructure, electrical and electromechanical properties. Lowering the sintering temperature has been an issue with KNN ceramics as they do not densify well at low sintering temperatures and this causes their electrical and electromechanical properties to decline. Some processes and methods from prior works done in this field of KNN ceramics have been adopted by the author in this experiments. There were two experiments, Experiment A and B, conducted using two lead free KNN based piezoelectric ceramic, (KNN-BZN) and (KNN-5LT).The sintering temperature was lowered by controlling the concentration of alkali ions. Firstly in Experiment A, lead free (KNN-BZN) based ceramic samples were fabricated by conventional ceramic processing and sintering. Excess lithium carbonate and excess sodium carbonate were introduced as sintering aids to lower sintering temperature of the ceramics. These sintering aids were chosen based on their low melting point so that they can promote a slight liquid phase during low temperature sintering to promote better electrical and electromechanical properties while lowering the sintering temperature. This liquid phase diffuses into the KNN perovskite structure after the completion of sintering, forming single phase perovskite structures thereby improving properties. Potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate were also added in excess to control volatilization of alkali ions during high temperature calcination and sintering process. The properties such as density, dielectric property, ferroelectric property, piezoelectric property, microstructure and phase boundary of ceramic pellets were measured to see the effects of lowering the sintering temperature on the properties. The highest d33 obtained were 280.42 pC/N and 270.92 pC/N for samples sintered at 1200°C for 4 hours with no addition of sintering aids which include sodium carbonate and lithium carbonate. This samples also had a good relative density of 95.08% and 93.2%. Secondly in Experiment B, lead free (KNN-5LT) based ceramic samples were fabricated using conventional ceramic processing and sintering. Effect of addition of excess lithium carbonate as sintering aid on lowering the sintering temperature was studied. Lithium carbonate was chosen based on its low melting point so that it can promote a slight liquid phase during low temperature sintering to promote better electrical and electromechanical properties while lowering the sintering temperature. Then properties such as density, dielectric property, ferroelectric property, piezoelectric property, microstructure and phase boundary were studied to see the effects of lowering sintering temperature. The highest d33 achieved in this experiment was the sample which was sintered at 1100°C for 4 hours and with 1 mol% of excess lithium. The highest d33 achieved was 124.62 pC/N and the relative density was close to 88.3%.
Critical appraising of Hopkinson bar techniques for calibrating high g accelerometers

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The Hopkinson pressure bar has been developed to calibrate and assess high g accelerometers' capacity.The extreme caution is indispensable for performing calibration of severe characteristics, like the bearable super-high overload peak and wide duration of stress.In the paper, the Hopkinson bar calibrating system is being critically appraised.A limiting formula is deduced based on the stress wave theory.It indicates that the overload peak and duration of stress are limited by the elastic limit and wave speed of Hopkinson bar material.Both stress wave configurations in the form of linear ramp and cosine functions were designed theoretically to meet typical calibrating requirements.They were confirmed experimentally with the aid of the pulse shaping technique.Their corresponding calibration characteristics were analysed critically, and it was found that the cosine stress wave can achieve the values of acceleration peak or duration by π/2 times greater than those obtained with the linear stress wave.Finally, some suggestions are proposed for more extreme calibration requirements.
Effect of different vase life-enhancing solutions on vase life of cut sunflower

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The cut flower industry is continuously progressing due to their increasing demand at national and international levels. New flowers like sunflower (Helianthus annuus L) and many others are added to this category to make this industry more profitable. Due to nutritional and aesthetic value, sunflower has attained great consideration for floriculture dietary needs. However, their vase life is short. The vase life of sunflowers varies between 4-13 days, depending on the cultivar. Vase life problems refer to the challenges and limitations associated with maintaining the freshness and longevity of cut flowers in a vase or floral arrangement. The current study was carried out to enhance the vase life of cut sunflowers by using various vase life-improving solutions. In this study, we investigated the effect of different vase solutions on cut sunflowers. The flowers were treated with six different solutions: silver nitrate (17%), Disprin (2 mM Aspirin), rosewater (8%), Sprite (50%), chitosan (2.5%), and distilled water as a controlled treatment. The vase life of the sunflowers was measured, and the results showed that the flowers treated with the Sprite (50%) had taken the highest number of days for petal dropping (7.4 days), flower wilting (9 days), petal wilting (6.8 days). The highest relative water uptake (162.8 mL) by flowers was also observed in the Sprite. The highest number of days taken for petal discolouration (7.8 days), stem bending (8 days) and leaf wilting (8.8 days) was observed in distilled water. Whereas, the highest number of days for stem discolouration (8 days) was observed in rosewater. In conclusion, Sprite shows the best results, and then distilled water compared to other treatments.
Rural Savings Mobilization Among Women: A Pancea For Poverty Reduction

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Poverty alleviation among rural dwellers has remained a major challenge for both the developing world. This has become very relevant for the nations growth and development given the fact that majority of the poor reside in the rural areas and they are mostly women. Efforts to alleviate poverty in the rural areas have not yielded the expected results. This study therefore considered the effects of savings mobilization among women on poverty alleviation. This study, conducted in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State., Nigeria, examined the effects of rural savings in major macro economic variables and poverty indices in the study area. Primary data was collected through the use of well structured questionnaire administered on two hundred randomly selected respondents. Data was also sourced from relevant text books and learned journals. Data was analysed with the aid of descriptive statics such as tables, percentages and frequency distributions. The major quantitative method used was the binary logistic regression model. Results showed that majority of the respondent are still in their economically active years and majority were educated. Also most the respondent invested savings in non-agricultural business. However, the propensity was low as about 60% of respondent did not invest mobilized savings. The logic model showed that rural savings have positive effects on the poverty indices indentified in the area. Such effects were mostly significant on variables such as nature of house, cooking method, health care facilities and income. Study also showed that 83% used the proceeds from investment to purchase assets such as land, vehicles and household electronics like radio and television. It is the submission of this study that rural savings is an indispensable means of alleviating in the study area. Hence, more women should be encouraged to save as much as possible and that such should be invested in productive ventures rather than in present consumption.
Anaphylactic contraction (Schultz‐Dale reaction) of the bovine bronchial arteryin vitro

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Bronchial arteries from sensitized calves contracted on antigenic challenge in the absence and presence of selected anti‐allergic drugs and autonomic agents in vitro. Anaphylactic reactivity was inhibited by tripelennamine, isoprenaline and aminophylline, and potentiated by indomethacin and dopamine. Disodium cromoglycate, compound FPL 55712 and ketanserin failed to inhibit anaphylactic contraction.
Mid Regional Pro-Adrenomedullin, Lactate, and Risk Factors as Predictors of Sepsis Severity

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Sepsis is a syndrome determined by pathogenic and host factors, including gender, age, comorbidities, and bacteremia. A high level of MR pro-ADM is associated with vascular relaxation, while a high lactate level indicates tissue hypoxia and anaerobic metabolism. This study aimed to assess MR pro-ADM and lactate as predictors of sepsis severity by considering age, gender, comorbidities, clinical screening, and bacterial culture result factors. This study used an observational analytic research design with a prospective cohort approach. Researchers consecutively collected a sample of 80 sepsis patients at Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital (RSDM) in February-March 2023. Clinical characteristics, demographics, physical examinations, and laboratory results were collected from medical records and the Hospital Information System (HIS) of RSDM. MR pro-ADM and lactate levels were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and enzymatic amperometric methods. There were significant differences in severity and mortality predictor variables (clinical screening, log_lactate >0.40, bacterial culture). The ranking of the strength of association of predictors of severity was clinical screening ((Odds Ratio (OR)=15.40), bacterial culture results (OR=3.7), log_lactate (OR=2.74). Clinical screening, lactate, and culture results were independent predictors of sepsis severity. Multi-center studies with more complete data, considering other factors that influence sepsis, and using more accurate methods of measuring ADM and lactate are recommended.
A mechanistic model quantifies artemisinin-induced parasite growth retardation in blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum infection

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Falciparum malaria is a major parasitic disease causing widespread morbidity and mortality globally. Artemisinin derivatives---the most effective and widely-used antimalarials that have helped reduce the burden of malaria by 60% in some areas over the past decade---have recently been found to induce growth retardation of blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum when applied at clinically relevant concentrations. To date, no model has been designed to quantify the growth retardation effect and to predict the influence of this property on in vivo parasite killing. Here we introduce a mechanistic model of parasite growth from the ring to trophozoite stage of the parasite's life cycle, and by modelling the level of staining with an RNA-binding dye, we demonstrate that the model is able to reproduce fluorescence distribution data from in vitro experiments using the laboratory 3D7 strain. We quantify the dependence of growth retardation on drug concentration and demonstrate the model's utility as a platform to propose experimentally-testable mechanisms of growth retardation. Furthermore we illustrate that a drug-induced delay in growth may significantly influence in vivo parasite dynamics, demonstrating the importance of considering growth retardation in the design of optimal artemisinin-based dosing regimens.
Frequency Conversion by Third Class Conductor and Mechanism of the Arcing Ground and other Cumulative Surges

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In high-voltage power circuits, such as transmission lines and the high-voltage coils of large power transformers, not infrequently disturbances are observed of a frequency differing from, and usually very much higher than that of the power supply, and differing from the typical transient of energy readjustment, in that they do not gradually die out, but increase in intensity until either destruction occurs, or they finally limit themselves. Such cumulative oscillations or arcing grounds derive their energy from the machine power of the system, and so constitute a frequency transformation, of which the mechanism has been little understood. Physically they may be derived from the typical condenser discharge by the conception of a negative resistance, in combination with a source of power, which supplies the energy given out by the negative resistance. Attention is drawn to a class of conductors-to which arcs and gas discharges belong-the so-called ''third-class conductors,'' in which the voltage decreases with increase of current, and it is shown that these conductors can be considered as a combination of a negative resistance with a source of power, and as such are capable of transforming the low machine frequency into a high oscillation frequency of alternating currents, and their presence in an electric system thereby may produce cumulative oscillations.

Three-year follow-up analysis of first-line axicabtagene ciloleucel for high-risk large B-cell lymphoma: the ZUMA-12 study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ZUMA-12 is a multicenter phase 2 study evaluating axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy as part of first-line treatment for high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). In the primary efficacy analysis (n = 37; median follow-up, 15.9 months), axi-cel demonstrated a high rate of complete responses (CR; 78%) and a safety profile consistent with prior experience. Here, we assessed updated outcomes from ZUMA-12 in 40 treated patients after ≥3 years of follow-up. Eligible adults underwent leukapheresis, lymphodepleting chemotherapy, and axi-cel infusion (2 × 106 CAR T cells/kg). Investigator-assessed CR, objective response, survival, safety, and CAR T-cell expansion were assessed. The CR rate among response-evaluable patients (n = 37) increased after the primary analysis to 86% (95% confidence interval [CI], 71%-95%), with a 92% objective response rate. After a median follow-up of 47.0 months (range, 37.1-57.8 months), 36-month estimates (95% CI) of duration of response and event-free, progression-free, and overall survival were 81.8% (63.9%-91.4%), 73.0% (55.6%-84.4%), 75.1% (57.5%-86.2%), and 81.1% (64.4%-90.5%), respectively. In total, 4 patients had new malignancies, 2 occurring after the data cutoff of the primary analysis; none were axi-cel–related. Eight patients died on study, 2 of whom died from nonrelapse mortality causes. After long-term follow-up, axi-cel demonstrated a high durable response rate, with no new safety signals after the primary analysis, suggestive of an effective first-line therapy with curative intent in high-risk LBCL. Further assessments are needed to determine its benefit vs standard of care. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov, as NCT03761056.
