Mapping bacterial biofilm on explanted orthopaedic hardware: An analysis of 14 consecutive cases
No full textHardware implanted during primary total joint arthroplasty carries a serious risk for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The formation of bacterial biofilms, which are highly tolerant of antibiotics and host immunity, is recognized as being a major barrier to treatment. It is not known whether some components and their surface features are more prone to biofilm than others. This study attempted to map biofilm on different components and features of orthopedic hardware recovered during revision. Implant surface culture (ISC) was used on 53 components from 14 hip and knee revisions. ISC achieves a thin agar coating over components, followed by incubation and observation for colony outgrowth over 9 days. Recovered organisms were identified by selective culture and 16s rRNA sequencing. Outcomes were compared with clinical culturing and PJI diagnosis based on 2013 Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria. ISC paralleled clinical culturing with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 57.1%. When compared to Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria, sensitivity remained at 100% while specificity was 80%. Biofilm accumulation was patchy and heterogeneous throughout different prostheses, though notably the non-articulating surfaces between the tibial tray and polyethylene insert showed consistent growth. On individual components, ridges and edges consistently harbored biofilm, while growth elsewhere was case dependent. ISC successfully identified microbial growth with high sensitivity while also revealing that biofilm growth was commonly localized to particular locations. Understanding where biofilm formation occurs most often on implanted hardware will help guide debridement, retention choices, and implant design
Cultural aspects of multi-channel customer management: a case study in Egypt
No full textChannel management is one CRM systems component much influenced by the behaviour of customers in relation to the implementation and use of channel management CRM component. The consumers’ behaviours, preferences, perceptions and expectations are crucial for the implementation and use of channel management. Customers’ contact with the organization’s multi-channels can occur at several touch points through out customer lifecycle. Customers’ behaviours may be differentiated according to the individual or micro level, but it might also differ at an ecological or macro level of analysis (Ramaseshan et al., 2006). In this paper the author has conducted a case study in Egypt to analyze customers’ behaviours at a macro level and customers channel choices, through out the customer lifecycle. The author has used a Structurational Analysis model (Ali and Brooks, 2008) to identify the cultural factors (Ali, et al. 2008) that influence the multi-channel customer management in Egypt
Marketing audit, Brooks School District #2092, Brooks, Alberta
No full text31, i leaves, 45, [32] p. : ill. ; 29 cmThis paper will attempt to analyze the Brooks School District with reference to its marketing efforts in promoting the district in the eyes of its stakeholders.
I used the text, “Principles of Marketing”, to assist in evaluating the system of which I am a school-based administrator. I divided the paper under five main headings:
I. Macroenvironment
II. Task Environment
III. Mission Statements
IV. Marketing Organizational and Information Systems
V. Recommendations
I gathered much of the information through discussion with four central office personnel, six school-based administrators, six teachers, and first-hand knowledge of the system. I have been employed by the district since 1976. My experience with the system has been a positive one, as my remaining with one organization for eighteen years would indicate.
I interviewed four central office, school-based administrators and teachers to get their views on aspects of the school system’s marketing and/or public relations efforts. The information is integrated into the final document, which should assist the Brooks School District with a positive educational direction.
The three articles in the appendices were not written by the author of this paper and are included for the reader’s information only

Mapping bacterial biofilm on features of orthopedic implants in vitro
No full textImplant-associated infection is a major complication of orthopedic surgery. One of the most common organisms identified in periprosthetic joint infections is Staphylococcus aureus, a biofilmforming pathogen. Orthopedic implants are composed of a variety of materials, such as titanium, polyethylene and stainless steel, which are at risk for colonization by bacterial biofilms. Little is known about how larger surface features of orthopedic hardware (such as ridges, holes, edges, etc.) influence biofilm formation and attachment. To study how biofilms might form on actual components, we submerged multiple orthopedic implants of various shapes, sizes, roughness and material type in brain heart infusion broth inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus SAP231, a bioluminescent USA300 strain. Implants were incubated for 72 h with daily media exchanges. After incubation, implants were imaged using an in vitro imaging system (IVIS) and the metabolic signal produced by biofilms was quantified by image analysis. Scanning electron microscopy was then used to image different areas of the implants to complement the IVIS imaging. Rough surfaces had the greatest luminescence compared to edges or smooth surfaces on a single implant and across all implants when the images were merged. The luminescence of edges was also significantly greater than smooth surfaces. These data suggest implant roughness, as well as large-scale surface features, may be at greater risk of biofilm colonization.</p
