FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF DISPLACED CLAVICLE FRACTURE TREATED BY INTRAMEDULLARY NAILING: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY

<strong>Background:</strong>Clavicle fracture is one of the most common injury.Despite the high incidence, the choice of proper treatment is still controversial. This prospective study was done to evaluate functional outcome of displaced clavicle fracture treated by intramedullary nailing. <strong>Material and methods:</strong>The study was conducted on 30 patients(25 males and 5 females) with displaced/comminuted clavicle fracture treated by either elastic intramedullary nails or elastic intramedullary nails with endcap.Followupexamination for functional and radiological evaluationwas done at 1 month,3 months and 6 months. <strong>Results: </strong>Mean duration of clinical union in comminuted and transverse/oblique fracture was 6.41 weeks and 6.89 weeks respectively while the mean duration of radiological union in comminuted and transverse/oblique fracture was 8 weeks and 8.5 weeks respectively.In co-relation between functional outcome and fracture pattern we obtained P-value 0.418,0.842 and 0.453 for Constant shoulder,DASH and VAS scores respectively which was statically not significant that means there was no relation between fracture pattern and functional outcome. <strong>Conclusion:- </strong>The intramedullary fixation of displaced clavicle fracture is a safe minimally invasive technique. The intramedullary nailing holds advantages of high union rate, minimal periosteal stripping and soft tissue damage, minimal blood loss and relatively less complications. This technique provides faster return to daily and professional activities with excellent functional results. Implant removal is easier and can be done as day care procedure under local anesthesia.

Using Microcontroller Based Digital Portable Soil Testing Device (“Matir Pran”) for Agricultural Sector Development

The major economic sector in Bangladesh is agriculture, which contributes 19.6% of the nation's GDP and employs 63% of the residents. The agricultural products feature like growth, quality dependent on the soil condition. Now a day’s most of the farmer’s family in Bangladesh uses smart phone. Based on this availability of smart devices and huge potentiality of uses of the devices, this project and study have been done for finding the common most useful two features of soil like measuring the pH level and testing the moisture of soil instantly, which usually reported after a long-time traditional process of analysis. These android-based apps incorporated in the smart device, which help the farmer to plant crops based on the testing parameters - pH level and moisture displayed in the screen of the devices. After testing android apps suggests the farmers- which types crops they can plant in this field, it can also suggest the way of increasing and decreasing the pH level. Arduino Nano, OLED display, pH sensor, moisture sensor are the main hardware and XML, material design (for front end) and JAVA, SQLite database, (for back end) are the software uses in the project.

[Analysis of eight-year follow-up data of plateau workers by color doppler echocardiography].

<b>Objective:</b> To analyze the heart rate changes and risk factors, as a result of high altitude. <b>Methods:</b> Retrospective analysis of echocardiographic data of plateau workers at a railway maintenance company from 2006 to 2013. The survival curve method was used to analyze the abnormal rate of the heart. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors. <b>Results:</b> In the first occurrence of cardiac abnormalities, the main types of abnormalities were right atrium enlargement (53.47%) , right ventricle enlargement (17.36%) , and tricuspid regurgitation (16.67%) . Cox regression analysis showed that workplace altitude and first physical examination age are two influencing factors of cardiac abnormalities, and their relative risk was 1.661 and 1.039. At high altitudes (3 600~4 000 m) , nearly 40% of workers heart has not changed. But this adaptation does not observed in the ultra-high altitudes (≥4 000 m) . <b>Conclusion:</b> There are individual differences in human adaptability to high altitude. We should take more stringent measures of health care for older people and those who work at more than 4000m. And we should abide by the rotation system for railways that are suitable for the plateau.

Mechanism of temperature-induced asymmetric swelling and shrinking kinetics in self-healing hydrogels

Understanding the physical principle that governs the stimuli-induced swelling and shrinking kinetics of hydrogels is indispensable for their applications. Here, we show that the shrinking and swelling kinetics of self-healing hydrogels could be intrinsically asymmetric. The structure frustration, formed by the large difference in the heat and solvent diffusions, remarkably slows down the shrinking kinetics. The plateau modulus of viscoelastic gels is found to be a key parameter governing the formation of structure frustration and, in turn, the asymmetric swelling and shrinking kinetics. This work provides fundamental understandings on the temperature-triggered transient structure formation in self-healing hydrogels. Our findings will find broad use in diverse applications of self-healing hydrogels, where cooperative diffusion of water and gel network is involved. Our findings should also give insight into the molecular diffusion in biological systems that possess macromolecular crowding environments similar to self-healing hydrogels.

Precursor Events in Cardiac Surgery: Are they Associated with Post-operative Outcomes?

Background: The purpose of this study is to determine whether precursor events are associated with a post-operative composite outcome in a low-medium risk cardiac surgical population. These precursor events may be promising targets for strategies aimed at quality improvement.\nMethods: This study was a case control design where the outcome of major adverse events (MACE) was assessed in patients exposed to four intra-operative precursor events. Cases and controls were matched 1:1 using propensity score matching, Univariate comparison of ?1 precursor event in the matched groups was performed.\nResults: The primary outcome of ?1 precursor event occurred significantly more frequently in the MACE patient group vs the non-MACE patients group (33% vs. 24%; p=0.015). The individual events of bleeding and difficulty weaning from CPB were significantly higher in the MACE group whereas incomplete revascularization/repair and repair/regrafting were not.\nConclusion: Quality improvement techniques aimed at mitigating the consequences of precursor events may improve surgical outcomes for these patients.

Politici de reducere a șomajului și de creștere a gradului de ocupare în România

Labor market policies have become a necessity given that unemployment remains a worldwide problem. The issue of social protection for the unemployed and employment is addressed generally by two types of social policies: passive labor market policy measures (representing financial support for the unemployed) and active labor market policy measures (whose objectives are to assist the unemployed in finding a job). The increased emphasis on active labor market policy measures is noted even in Romania, and their success stems from the attenuation of the institutional factors, the demographic ones or from the correlation between demand for qualifications and the educational system offer, and the characteristics of the unemployed person, as well as from the number of people who were employed after participating in them. This paper highlights the important role of active policies that aim towards increasing employment in the labor market, underlining the importance and impact on the ability to rapidly adapt to changes that occur in the labor market in Romania; concurrently, applying the same measures in the counties and finding differences in measures depending on the unemployment rate, differences that confirm the matching between existing needs and offered services.

A Study on the Use of Facebook in Informal Learning Contexts

The main objective of this paper is to examine the results of an observational study on the use of Facebook by adolescents in an informal context. The authors describe the preliminary results of the research and analyze the significant variables that contribute to improve the current, important debate about the social network as a source of information and knowledge in the matching of learning in informal and formal contexts. The above analysis is the premise for the illustration of the potential and advantages that could follow from the use of social networking in everyday teaching. The core problem of the renewal of teaching today is in fact the centre of the debate on an integrated use of ICT in teaching-learning process as re-structuring factor of the action learning systems in formal settings with respect to the cognitive, affective, socio-relational and psycho-motor taxonomic components and implications.

BEDNET TREATMENT WITH PYRETHROIDS FOR MOSQUITO CONTROL IN CHINA

Abstract BedHnet treatment with pyrethroids, either by impregnation or by spraying, has been considered as an important progress in vector control in antimalarial programmes. Since last decade, the method has been extensively adopted for malarial control in China. The present paper is a review of the results of laboratory studies, experimental evaluations and field trials and applications of bednet treatment in this country. Some comments are also given to the results in this respect. It is concluded that the bednet treatment with pyrethroids, particularly with deltamethrin, is a feasible community based prevention measure. It can be recommanded to replace DDT indoor residual sprays for vector control in most areas of low and moderate malaria endemicity.

IC‐P‐008: Characteristics of brain morphology in dementia patients from an ADRC

There is increasing evidence that alterations in brain structure may precede changes in cognition prior to the development of dementia, especially AD. The purpose of this study is to take advantage of the large body of MR images acquired over a 17+ year period at the ADRC in Pittsburgh (US). In this first analysis, we focused on ventricular volume as a predictor of AD from MCI, as ventricular expansion is the most sensitive indicator of alterations in brain anatomy. SPGR and (later) MP-RAGE images were acquired from 265 Probable AD patients, 80 MCI patients, and 45 normal control subjects. Preprocessing was completed using our fully automated, distributed pipeline that performs image conversion, skull stripping, bias correction, cross-subject intensity normalization, midsagittal plane alignment, rigid, affine and fully deformable registrations, grey/white/CSF tissue segmentation, and atlas-based segmentation. Tissue types were adjusted for total intracranial volume and expressed as percentages. Normal limits were defined based on the 25th percentile of the cognitively normal subjects. The size of the lateral ventricles was significantly greater among the AD patients compared to the controls. Similar, but smaller expansions were also observed in the MCI patients. 50% of the AD patients had abnormally large ventricles, and 46% of the MCI patients destined to develop AD had enlarged ventricles at study entry (vs. 33% for the MCI who have not yet converted). The expansion of the ventricles was due primarily to loss of gray matter, as there was no significant difference in the rate of white matter loss between groups. These data demonstrate that grey matter loss and ventricular expansion can be measured prior to the development of clinical dementia in MCI patients. The finding is strengthened by the fact that the data were acquired over a 17 year period, using different MR scanners and different acquisition sequences. The use of a powerful preprocessing pipeline allowed the high sensitivity to subtle differences in cortical anatomy.

Optimal self-assembly of finite shapes at temperature 1 in 3D

Working in a three-dimensional variant of Winfree's abstract Tile Assembly Model, we show that, for an arbitrary finite, connected shape $X \subset \mathbb{Z}^2$, there is a tile set that uniquely self-assembles into a 3D representation of a scaled-up version of $X$ at temperature 1 in 3D with optimal program-size complexity (the "program-size complexity", also known as "tile complexity", of a shape is the minimum number of tile types required to uniquely self-assemble it). Moreover, our construction is "just barely" 3D in the sense that it only places tiles in the $z = 0$ and $z = 1$ planes. Our result is essentially a just-barely 3D temperature 1 simulation of a similar 2D temperature 2 result by Soloveichik and Winfree (SICOMP 2007).

Blocked emergency syringe

Following a number of letters that have appeared concerning the value, or␣otherwise, of ‘bespoke’ prefilled emergency syringes (Webster et al. Anaesthesia 2001; 56: 818–20, Rayen & Rasanayagam. Anaesthesia 2001; 56: 711–12, Wikner & Tighe. Anaesthesia 2001; 56:␣712), I would like to draw attention to one definite failing of employing them. During a cardiac arrest on an Intensive Care Unit, a situation arose in which an item as ‘simple’ as a syringe, failed. A patient required an epinephrine bolus and from the Emergency Drug Box was taken an unopened box containing a prefilled syringe of epinephrine (Martindale Pharmaceuticals). The box was opened, the cap removed [1], and the syringe was applied to one of the Kimal Clave valves that had been␣used with great success on the Intensive Care Unit. However, it was found that the plunger could not be depressed. Subsequently the syringe was attached to a standard ‘three-way’ tap. Sadly, again the plunger could not be depressed, and so the syringe was replaced with another, which worked correctly. Once the incident was over, I found the syringe in question and it appeared to have a blocked nozzle, which no amount of manual pressure was able to dislodge. There was no subsequent problem with the Clave valves reported, although at the time we did not suspect␣that there would be, so it was not specifically looked for. The syringe was sent back to the manufactures for their analysis. In their reply they suggested that the end was blocked with a piece of plastic that ‘may be part of a Kimal Clave valve.’ Subsequent discussion revealed that the syringe was known to be incompatible with the Clave device. I feet it is important not to over dramatise what occurred. No more than a few seconds could have been ‘lost’ as a result of the failure described above, and so it is doubtful that this significantly affected the patient. That said, I think it is important to highlight this incompatibility between prefilled syringes from Martindale and the Kimal Clave valve system.

Mathematics: a historical and didactic perspective

Two related statements are increasingly accepted in educational circles: (1) the teacher's conception of mathematics determines, to a great extent, the way (s)he teaches; and (2) mathematics should be conceived of as an activityand not (only) as a product.However the majority of teachers share in practice a position that can be called an expository pedagogy.That is, they conceive of mathematics as a product to be transmitted to the student. The persistence of this pedagogical approach is explained by using a historical and epistemological perspective which sheds some light on the two theses expressed at the beginning of this abstract, and an alternative conception of teaching and learning more in accord with constructivist perspectives is suggested.

Characterization of a Thermophilic ATP-Dependent DNA Ligase from the Euryarchaeon <i>Pyrococcus horikoshii</i>

ABSTRACT Archaea encode a DNA ligase composed of a C-terminal catalytic domain typical of ATP-dependent ligases plus an N-terminal domain similar to that found in eukaryotic cellular and poxvirus DNA ligases. All archaeal DNA ligases characterized to date have ATP-dependent adenylyltransferase and nick-joining activities. However, recent reports of dual-specificity ATP/NAD + ligases in two Thermococcus species and Pyrococcus abyssi and an ATP/ADP ligase in Aeropyrum pernix raise the prospect that certain archaeal enzymes might exemplify an undifferentiated ancestral stage in the evolution of ligase substrate specificity. Here we analyze the biochemical properties of Pyrococcus horikoshii DNA ligase. P. horikoshii ligase catalyzes autoadenylylation and nick sealing in the presence of a divalent cation and ATP; it is unable to utilize NAD + or ADP to promote ligation in lieu of ATP. P. horikoshii ligase is thermophilic in vitro, with optimal adenylyltransferase activity at 90°C and nick-joining activity at 70 to 90°C. P. horikoshii ligase resembles the ligases of Methanobacterium thermautotrophicum and Sulfolobus shibatae in its strict specificity for ATP.
