Influences of Antero-Posterior Tibial Slope on the Prosthetic Knee Contact Stresses

Abstract: In this paper, using 3D finite element method and starting from the virtual model of the human knee joint-prosthesis assembly, we investigate the effects of antero-posterior tibial slope on contact stresses in the three components of total knee prosthesis. Using AnsysWorkbench15.07 software, the stress and displacements maps are obtained for knee-prosthesis assemblies and for their components, considering two loading force: 800N and 2400N and two cases of prosthetic knee varus slope: 176o and b) 191o. For each prosthesis-knee assembly and for each considered force, two variants of antero-posterior tibial slope were considered: 00 and 50.

Lower genital tract infections in preterm premature rupture of membranes and preterm labor: a case-control study from Vietnam.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION This study aimed to determine the incidence of lower genital infections and related factors in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and preterm labor. METHODOLOGY A case-control study was conducted on pregnant women who were admitted to the Hospital of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam between November 2017 and May 2019. Cases from 22 to 36 gestational weeks were included as group 1 (patients with preterm labor and intact membranes) or as group 2 (those with PPROM). The control group included women with singleton pregnancies who were matched on gestational age and recruited concurrently with the study cases. Gram stain was perfomed to identify Lactobacillus, Gardnerella, mobiluncus, Candida, and leucocytes. Trichomonas vaginalis was detected by wet mount. Cultures of vaginal secretions and aminotic fluid were performed to identify aerobic bacteria. RESULTS Bacterial vaginosis was higher in group 1 (28.9%) compared to control (11.4%). The incidence of isolated aerobic bacteria was 44.1% in group 2, 11.1% in group 1, and 12.7% in the control group (p < 0.001). Fungal infection was not shown to be a risk factor for preterm labor (p = 0.990), whereas, bacterial vaginosis was (OR = 3.16; 95%CI = 1.23-8.15; p = 0.016). Isolated aerobic bacteria were associated with premature rupture of membranes (OR = 5.45; 95%CI = 2.11-14.05; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Bacteria vaginosis increased the risk of preterm labor and preterm premature rupture of membranes. Isolated aerobic bacteria were related to PPROM, while fungal infection was not associated with preterm labor.

Dry Grasslands of the Corhan Hill - SăBed Village (Mureş County)

Abstract: This paper presents a description of vegetation from the Corhan Hill-Sabed village, Mures County. The study area is situated in a part of the Transylvanian Depression of special relief. Climate and aspect have determined the development of dry vegetation of the order Festucetalia valesiacae. Two plant associations were identified on Corhan Hill: Stipetum pulcherrimae Soo 1942 and Medicagini minimae-Festucetum valesiacae Wagner 1941. An analysis of these plant associations was carried out, in relation to ecological factors (humidity, temperature and soil). Some rare, endemic and endangered plants of the Romanian flora were identified in this area.

The role of glycemia and blood pressure control on the rate of decline in glomerular filtration rate in Vietnamese type 2 diabetes patients

Abstract: The rate of decline in glomerular filtration rate (∆↓GFR), commonly used to evaluate the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), varies considerably among type 2 diabetes subjects. The determinants of the variability especially hyperglycemia and hypertension are not consistent. We present a retrospective cohort study [450 out of 536 patients with type 2 diabetes who did not have renal insufficiency at baseline (estimated GFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2)]. We examined factors affecting progression of ∆↓GFR as an endpoint using linear regression analysis. The mean ∆↓GFR was 2.3 (SD 2.9) mL/min/1.73 m2/year. Univariate analysis showed that this was associated with mean HbA1c (P = 0.004), mean systolic blood pressure (BP) (P < 0.001), and mean pulse pressure (P < 0.001). Hazard ratio (HR) of the appearance of renal insufficiency was significantly higher in the group with mean systolic BP ≥ 130 mmHg (HR = 3.0, P < 0.001) and mean pulse pressure ≥ 50 mmHg (HR = 3.7, P < 0.001). In subjects with type 2 diabetes, glycemia and BP control play an important role on slowing the rate of decline in kidney function. Higher systolic BP and pulse pressure, but not diastolic BP, are significantly associated with increased ∆↓GFR.
