V-Y Tensor Fascia Lata for Trochanteric Pressure Sore Treatment
No full text There are several alternatives for pressure sore reconstruction, but it is of utmost importance that an appropriate surgical technique be adopted, because although treatment is successful, recurrence of these ulcers is frequent. The purpose of this study was to conduct a precise evaluation of the V-Y tensor fascia lata flap, pointing out its advantages compared with the classical flap and with other possibilities described in the literature. The author employed 20 V-Y tensor fascia lata flaps to correct 20 trochanteric ulcers. The use of the classical tensor fascia lata flap to cover trochanteric ulcers is unquestionable. However, primary closure for flaps wider than 10 cm is difficult, necessitating an eventual skin grafting of the donor site. The V-Y tensor fascia lata allows a covering similar to the classical flap, simplifies primary closure and essentially presents the possibility of numerous reutilizations. </jats:p

Biocompatibility of allogenic canine fascia lata: In vitro evaluation and small case series
No full textObjective
To evaluate the biocompatibility of canine fascia lata (FL) in vitro and after FL allograft implantation in dogs with clinical disease.
Study design
In vitro experiment and small case series.
Sample population
Six dogs treated with allogenic freeze-dried FL.
Methods
Fibroblasts were cultured on disks of FL, polypropylene mesh (PM; negative control), and porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS; positive control). Constructs were compared at 3, 7, and 14 days for water content, DNA amounts, scanning electron microscopy, and histology.
Records of dogs treated with FL allografts with follow-up examination were reviewed for signalment, indication for surgery, surgical procedure, and outcomes. All owners were invited to complete a standardized questionnaire for long-term follow-up.
Results
Water content was greater in FL and SIS than in PM (P = .03). Fascia lata constructs contained more DNA compared with PM constructs at days 7 and 14 (P < .05), whereas SIS constructs did not differ from FL or PM. Fibroblasts appeared spherical and distributed throughout FL constructs, whereas they appeared stellate and remained on the surface of SIS and PM. Fascia lata allografts were implanted in six dogs with surgical conditions. No incisional complications were noted. All dogs had good to excellent long-term outcomes, except one that experienced recurrence of a perineal hernia 2 years after repair.
Conclusion
In vitro, canine FL allowed attachment and proliferation of fibroblasts throughout layers of the graft. Canine allogenic FL was clinically well tolerated in this small population of dogs.
Clinical significance
Allogenic FL is biocompatible and can be considered an alternative to SIS for soft tissue augmentation in dogs
Retraining displaced workers : what can developing countries learn from OECD nations?
Get PDFThe governments of most industrial countries provide financial support for adult training programs intended to retrain displaced workers. The author draws lessons from the experience of six industrial countries (Australia, Britain, Canada, Japan, Sweden, and the United States) on how to design and implement such retraining programs in low-income developing nations and middle-income countries. By retraining, the author means both improving job skills and remediating deficiencies in basic education. These are the lessons he emphasizes: Training programs should be independent of the educational system, with its rigid ties to degree requirements and academic schedules; links to employers must be developed and maintained so that trainees have marketable skills on completing the program. Training programs should be designed to minimize trainees'foregone earnings; basic education should be relevant to the jobs the trainees might seek. External providers of education must be made accountable - but with care; the system of accountability should also ensure that the needs of displaced workers most likely to suffer long-term unemployment are met. Not all displaced workers require relatively expansive retraining; some may need only inexpensive job-search assistance services. A permanent, institutionalized training system is preferable to short-term intervention.Labor Standards,Tertiary Education,ICT Policy and Strategies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Teaching and Learning
Hawaiianische Käfer der Gattung Blackburnia (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Platynini) : ökologische Spezialisierungen und Implikationen für den Artenschutz
No full textThe Hawaiian Islands have arisen in isolation in the middle of the Pacific Ocean due to volcanism unleashed by interaction of mantle-deep thermal plumes with the overlying Pacific Plate (MONTELLI et al. 2004, ABOUCHAMI et al. 2005). This volcano “factory” has produced a consistently present string of islands increasing in age from the current Big Island of Hawaii (500,000 years old) northwestwardly to the island of Kure, estimated to be 28-30 million years old (CARSON & CLAGUE 1995). Successively colonizing and proliferating on these islands since Miocene time (LIEBHERR 2005), are beetles classified in the carabid beetle genus Blackburnia SHARP, 1878 (LIEBHERR & ZIMMERMAN 2000). The 132 known Blackburnia species are arrayed in four successive adelphotaxa. The monotypic subgenus Protocaccus LIEBHERR & ZIMMERMAN, 2000, adelphotaxon to the rest of the radiation, is represented by B. mandibularis LIEBHERR, 2000 of Kauai. The next-diverging clade is classified as subgenus Colpocaccus SHARP, 1903, and is composed of four flightcapable species. The last two adelphotaxa are the nominate subgenus Blackburnia and subgenus Metromenus SHARP, 1884. The former includes 52 species, and is based on a ground-plan ancestor that was capable of dispersal by winged flight. This clade exhibits the greatest anagenetic diversification of all four clades, with various subgroups exhibiting extensive modifications of the external cuticle, including thickened, ridged, and variously shaped pronota and elytra, as well as elongate legs, and extensive specializations of the male and female genitalia (LIEBHERR & ZIMMERMAN 1998, 2000). Taxa exhibiting cuticular modifications are all brachypterous, suggesting that loss of metathoracic wings was a requisite precursor to modification of body armature. All 75 species of subgenus Metromenus are characterized by brachyptery. These also exhibit various body forms however the member taxa are never characterized by the thickened cuticle and associated modifications seen among taxa of sg. Blackburnia. Monophyly of the latter three subgenera was corroborated using molecular sequence data (CRYAN et al. 2001), though basal relationships of the three clades were resolved so that Colpocaccus and Metromenus were construed as adelphotaxa. In this study, morphological characters, and ecological and genetic characteristics of the various clades compared. These comparisons illustrate the coordinated diversification of ecological and genetic traits, and how these are associated with different levels of speciation. These traits are then put in the context of species endangerment, assessed using biotic survey data started in the 19th Century, and continuing during present-day efforts to completely describe and characterize the Blackburnia fauna.Die monophyletische hawaiianische Gattung Blackburnia SHARP, 1878 umfasst 132 Arten und kann in vier aufeinander folgende Adelphotaxa unterteilt werden: Untergattung Protocaccus LIEBHERR & ZIMMERMAN, 2000 (1 Art, flugfähig); Untergattung Colpocaccus SHARP, 1903 (4 Arten, flugfähig); Untergattung Blackburnia (52 Arten, viele mit reduzierten Flügel, Flugfähigkeit aber im Grundmuster); Untergattung Metromenus SHARP, 1884 (75 Arten mit reduzierten Flügeln). Die phylogenetischen Beziehungen der Gattung zu anderen Taxa der Platynini beweisen, dass Blackburnia die hawaiianischen Inseln im Miozän kolonisiert hat, wobei Kauai die zuerst besiedelte Insel darstellt. Die ökologischen Spezialisierungen der einzelnen Arten spiegeln sich in den phylogenetischen Beziehungen der Arten wider. Arten der Untergattung Blackburnia besiedeln weniger Habitattypen im Vergleich zu Arten der Untergattungen Colpocaccus und Metromenus. Die Larven der Untergattungen Blackburnia und Metromenus entwickeln sich vergleichsweise langsam und einige Weibchen der Untergattung Blackburnia legen die größten Eier innerhalb der Platynini. Die größte morphologische und genetische Diversität findet sich innerhalb der Untergattung Blackburnia, was auf eine größere Fragmentierung der Populationen der betreffenden Arten hinweist. Die umfassenderen ökologischen Spezialisierungen der Arten der Untergattung Blackburnia können auf dramatische historische Populationsschwankungen innerhalb der Arten zurückgeführt werden. Anthropogene Einflüsse, wie die Degradierung spezifischer Habitattypen (mesische Acacia koa Wälder) und die Einschleppung von Neozoen (z.B. Formicidae und Isopoda), haben aber die Assoziationen zwischen den phylogenetischen Beziehungen und den ökologischen Spezialisierungen verwischt. Diese Einflüsse machen deshalb eine Voraussage des Gefährdungspotentials der Arten mit Hilfe der Ergebnisse der phylogenetischen Analyse unmöglich. Einige Arten, die noch im 19. Jahrhundert Bestandteil der Koa-Wälder auf Maui waren, sind seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts nicht mehr nachgewiesen worden. Diese nicht mehr nachgewiesenen Arten, welche Bestandteil spezifischer ökologischer Assoziationen waren, können bei genauerer Betrachtung die Gefährdungskriterien der I.U.C.N. erfüllen. Das Fehlen phylogenetisch verwandter Arten macht die Gefährdung der Arten selbst, als auch die Gefährdung der Koa-Wälder als Ökosysteme deutlich

Material examined Brazil: mature female (3.85 mm TL)ı Praia do Pachecoı Cearáı 15/ V / 2003ı Colls. Victor Torresı Daniel Malledo & Daniel Laovoı infesting right branchial chamber of ovigerous female Alpheus packardii Kingsleyı 1880 (5.4 mm CL) (UFRGS 6629). Remarks Based on the redescription by Markham (1985) and key of An et al. (2015) ı the present specimens are closest in morphology to P. lata (Nierstrasz and Brender à Brandisı 1929) (Figure 1 (aıb)). Within Parabopyrellaı P. lata is considered to be part of the ‘ C3 ’ group which has a deeply medially incised pleotelson and longı divergent posterolateral lobes (An et al. 2015). According to Markham (1988) ı P. lata has a known range in the northwest Atlantic (Florida from Cape Canaveral to Homosassa Springsı including Bahamas) and the Caribbean Sea (between St. Thoması Virgin Islands and Sabaı Lesser Antilles) where it has been reported parasitising Alpheus normanni Kingsleyı 1878 and unidentified alpheids (Markham 1985; Boyko 2006; Baeza et al. 2018). The range of hosts for P. lata has expanded to include the shrimp Lysmata boggessi Rhyne and Linı 2006 (Boyko 2006; Baeza et al. 2018). In additionı Lemos de Castro (1965) recorded the species in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo) infesting Alpheus sp. and the gebiid Upogebia a ffi nis (Sayı 1818). This last record was considered questionable by Markham (1985) and Boyko (2006) due to it being the only record of a Bopyrinae isopod parasitising a species outside of the infraorder Caridea. In the present studyı a female specimen found parasitising a new hostı Alpheus packardii Kingsleyı 1880 ı has been preliminarily assigned to P. lata. It is also the first record of the species for the state of Cearáı Brazil. The present material differs from Markham ’ s (1985) Florida specimens in the following: the posterior article of oostegite 1 is more elongate and broadly rounded (Figure 1 (hıi)) (versus more acute in the Florida specimens) and the inner lobes of the barbula are oriented laterally (Figure 1 (d)) (versus inner lobes of the barbula oriented medially in the Florida specimens). Boyko (2006) analysed one bopyrid female (9.6 mm TL) parasitising the left branchial chamber of a female L. boggessi (14.7 mm CL) and identified it as P. lata. The author also pointed out the differences between P. lata and P. mortenseni (Nierstrasz and Brender à Brandisı 1929). The specimen was characterised by the broad shape of the anterior body in dorsal viewı the irregular and asymmetrical development of the dorsolateral bosses and coxal plate on the first pereomereı the pleotelson medially indentedı the posterior article of oostegite 1 broadly rounded and weakly curved and the maxilliped palp as an elongated spur with few setae (Boyko 2006). Neverthelessı the pleotelson with acute projections (Figure 1 (aıb)) (versus quadrangular projections in Boyko ’ s specimen) and the presence of ten of setae in the maxilliped palp (Figure 1 (eıf)) (versus four in Boyko ’ s specimen) distinguish the present material from that identified by Boyko (2006). The absence of illustrations for other appendages make more accurate comparisons between these two specimens difficultı but these morphological differences along with the hippolytid host raise the possibility that the material analysed by Boyko (2006) could be a different species than reported by Markham (1985) and that of our study. Howeverı based on the fact that only one female was collected from Brazil and lack of a male specimen for comparisonı there is not enough data to show that the specimen analysed here constitutes a new species. Additional material is needed to elucidate this question.Published as part of Horch, Felipe Bezerra Ribeiro ı Amanda Porciuncula & Williams, Jason D., 2019, New occurrences and host records for two species of parasitic isopods (Isopodaı Cymothoidaı Bopyridae) associated with caridean shrimps (Decapodaı Caridea) from Brazil, pp. 2437-2447 in Journal of Natural History 53 (39) on page 2438, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2019.1704589, http://zenodo.org/record/366637

Entscheidungsformen im Grundbuchverfahren de lege lata und ferenda

Dass die Wahl zwischen diesen Optionen zunehmend Probleme bereitet, legt die umfangreiche Judikatur der letzten Jahre nahe. Stefan Bohlsen untersucht die Entscheidungsmöglichkeiten des Grundbuchverfahrensrechts auf einen nicht unmittelbar vollzugsfähigen Eintragungsantrag, strukturiert ihre Anwendungsbereiche und beleuchtet ihre Verzahnung mit dem Immobiliarsachen- und Zwangsvollstreckungsrecht. Er geht auch der Frage nach, ob Vorbescheide und informelle Entscheidungsformen de lege lata zulässig sind. Der Autor widmet sich sodann einer rechtstatsächlichen Untersuchung und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die geltende Rechtslage in der praktischen Übung der Grundbuchämter gegenwärtig nur unzureichend Beachtung findet. Ausgehend von diesem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Theorie und Praxis erwägt er, wie das Interesse an einem konzentrierten Grundbuchverfahren, die Richtigkeitsgewähr des Grundbuchs und die formalistischen Zwänge des Liegenschaftsrechts de lege ferenda schonender austariert werden könnten.»Forms of Decision in Land Register Procedural Law de lege lata and ferenda«: Stefan Bohlsen examines the forms of decision in land register procedural law on an application for registration that is not immediately enforceable, structures their areas of application and sheds light on their interrelationship with real erstate and enforcement law.
