Tibial plateau injuries and their medical-sports implications
No full textApós ampla revisão bibliográfica sobre o tratamento das fraturas do planalto tibial, o autor se propôs estudar o problema., relacionando-o com a atividade esportiva a ser desenvolvida posteriormente pelos atletas que sofreram esse tipo de lesão. Nesse estudo foram relacionados 76 pacientes do Departamento de Ortopedia e Traumatologia da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Santa Casa de São Paulo, Serviço do Prof. Dr. José Soares Hungria Filho. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos à cirurgia para redução da fratura e osteossíntese. A evolução fez-se de duas formas distintas: 54 pacientes evoluíram com G.C.P. e 22 pacientes com a T.M.A.I. Registrou-se que esse tipo de evolução apresentou melhores resultados do que o primeiro, razão pela qual foi considerada pelo autor como a mais indicada nas fraturas de que trata esse trabalhoAfter an extensive bibliographical examination of the treatment of fractures of the tibial plateau, the author decided to study this problem, relating it to sports activities to be practiced by athletes who have suffered this type of injury. In this study were listed patients of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology (The Head of which is Prof. José Soares Hungria Filho) of the Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Santa Casa de São Paulo. All the patients were submitted to surgery in order to reduce the fracture and stabilize it by osteosynthesis. The evolution of the patients occurred in two distinct ways: 54 patients had immobilization through plaster casts and 22 patients had skeletal traction and early mobilization. It was found that this latter type of evolution presented better results than the former, and this was the reason why it was considered by the author the better solution for the fractures studied in this pape

Overdensities of submillimetre-bright sources around candidate protocluster cores selected from the South Pole Telescope survey
No full textWe present APEX-LABOCA 870-μm observations of the fields surrounding the nine brightest high-redshift unlensed objects discovered in the South Pole Telescope's (SPT) 2500 deg2 survey. Initially seen as point sources by SPT's 1-arcmin beam, the 19-arcsec resolution of our new data enables us to deblend these objects and search for submillimetre (submm) sources in the surrounding fields. We find a total of 98 sources above a threshold of 3.7σ in the observed area of 1300 arcmin2, where the bright central cores resolve into multiple components. After applying a radial cut to our LABOCA sources to achieve uniform sensitivity and angular size across each of the nine fields, we compute the cumulative and differential number counts and compare them to estimates of the background, finding a significant overdensity of δ\10 at S870= 14 mJy. The large overdensities of bright submm sources surrounding these fields suggest that they could be candidate protoclusters undergoing massive star formation events. Photometric and spectroscopic redshifts of the unlensed central objects range from z= 3 to 7, implying a volume density of star-forming protoclusters of approximately 0.1 Gpc-3. If the surrounding submm sources in these fields are at the same redshifts as the central objects, then the total star formation rates of these candidate protoclusters reach 10 000 M⊙ yr-1, making them much more active at these redshifts than seen so far in either simulations or observations. © 2021 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society.Immediate accessThis item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

Evolvulus jacobinus Moric. 1844
No full text3. Evolvulus jacobinus Moric. (1844: 135). Lectotype (designated here):— BRAZIL. Bahia: Serra da Jacobina, 1823, J. Blanchet 3630 (lectotype C10009654 [digital image!], isolectotype F0054805F [digital image!], MGHG3034 [digital image!], NY00319028 [digital image!], P04070282[digital image!], P03546785 [digital image!], P03546784 [digital image!], RB00538239 [digital image!], BR0000006972561 [digital image!], BR000000697351 [digital image!], BR697256 [digital image!]) Evolvulus frankenioides var. glabrescens Meissn. (1869: 348). Type: — BRAZIL. “pr. flum. Mucuri prov. Bahiae” Prince zu Wield-Neuwied s.n. (holotype BR658757 [digital image!]). syn. nov. ≡ Evolvulus jacobinus var. ramosus Ooststr. (1934: 184). nom. illeg. Evolvulus luetzelburgii Helwig (1927: 106). Type: — BRAZIL. “ Zentral-Bahia. Carracogebiet. Minas de Contas ”, 1913, Von Luetzelburg 243a (holotype B, destroyed). Neotype (designated here):—photograph of the type [F0 BN013731], at the Field Museum of Natural History [digital image!]. syn. nov. Note: — Evolvulus luetzelburgii was described by Helwig (1927) based on the presence of woolly indument on both leaf surfaces. According to Oostrstoom (1934), this species is similar to E. jacobinus Moric. by the flowers sessile or shortly pedunculate, pedicels filiform, often longer than the sepals, differing from it by its leaf blade ovate or narrow ovate (vs. elliptic in E. jacobinus) and both surfaces sericeous, glabrescent above (vs. sericeous or glabrescent). After morphological analysis of several specimens, collection types and protologues for both species, we noted that the leaf shape and the density of its indument overlap; therefore, these species should not be recognized as distinct taxa. Study has shown that this variation in the density of the leaf indument is due to the type of environment (Ashfaq et al. 2019). In addition to that, these species have the same distribution pattern from the caatinga to the cerrado. Considering this, we propose the synonymization of E. luetzelburgii under E. jacobinus. The synonym E. luetzelburgii was established by Helwig (1927) based on a specimen collected by Von Luetzelburg 243a from Bahia state. This species was described based on one specimen deposited in B. (it was destroyed). However, we located a photograph of this specimen (F0 BN013731) in the Field Museum Berlin Negative (2017). Since we did not trace any duplicates of this collection, it is necessary to choose a neotype. According to Art. 9.8 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018) and suggestions of Staples & Prado (2018), we chose as neotype the photograph of the type specimen (FF0 BN013731; Fig. 7) destroyed in B. According to van Ooststroom (1934: 185), E. frankenioides var. glabrescens Meissn. (1869: 348) belongs to E. jacobinus because it has a branched stem from its base and leaf base cordate (vs. oblique in E. frankenioides). After consulting the type collections of both taxa and morphological analysis of herbarium specimens, we agree with the decision of this author. However, the nomenclatural combination proposed by him, E. jacobinus var. ramosus Oostr. (1934: 184), is illegitimate because Ooststroom did not repeat the varietal epithet “glabrescens” proposed previously in E. frankenioides Moric. (1869: 348). Also according to Ooststroom (1934), E. frankenioides var. glabrescens differs from E. jacobinus by having a stem with indument denser, and leaves often broader. After morphological analysis from type collections and protologue of both taxa, we noted that these features overlap. Therefore, this variety should not be recognized as distinct taxa, and we synonym it under E. jacobinus. Evolvulus jacobinus was established by Moricand (1844) based on material Blanchet 3630 from Serra da Jacobina, Bahia state, without indicating the herbarium where it was deposited. We located eleven exsiccates distributed in herbaria BR, C, F, MGH, NY, P, RB. We chose the specimen deposited in C (C10009654; Fig. 6) as the lectotype because it has well preserved vegetative and reproductive parts. Morphological relationships and characterization: — Evolvulus jacobinus is a subshrub decumbent, branched only at the base or along the branches, density sericeous to glabrescent, leaves ovate to lanceolate, elliptical, orbicular, both surfaces sericeous, glabrescent above, and inflorescence 1–(3) flowers distributed along the branches. It is similar to E. imbricatus by the leaves spiral, sepalas acute or acuminate, and corolla entire, differing from it by having stem decumbent (stem erect in E. imbricatus), and flowers distributed along the branches (flowers concentrated in terminal portion of the branches). Distribution and conservation status: — Evolvulus jacobinus is endemic to Brazil, where it has continuous distribution from the northeastern (Bahia State) to the southeastern regions (Minas Gerais State), growing on sandy soils on rocky outcrops, “in campos rupestres”, in the Atlantic Forest, Caatinga and Cerrado domains (Fig. 8). This species was designated as Least Concern (LC) due to its EOO estimated at 4.38, 728.370 km 2. Large populations of this species are recorded in protected areas in Bahia State (Chapada Diamantina National Park and the Morro do Chapeu state park) and in Minas Gerais State (REBIO-Mata Escura and RPPN Ermo).

Intrinsic properties of Hellenic “Marls”
No full textPost-alpine deposits cover substantial areas of Hellas. The fine grained facies of these deposits, comprise a wide range of over consolidated materials of varying grading and mineralogy. On average, however, these deposits cover different depositional environments and may be classed as silty clays and clayey silts of low to intermediate plasticity containing calcite in their mineralogical suite. Such deposits have been collectively known to practising engineers as marls. A concerted effort to collect field and laboratory data and interpret the behaviour of these materials was recently launched in view of the involvement of the aforesaid mentioned deposits in a series of geotechnical problems. This thesis aspires to contribute to this knowledge and provide a framework on which the field performance of such materials may be interpreted. To that end, disturbed and high quality undisturbed samples from the geologically dissimilar areas of Korinthos, Preveza-Igoumenitsa road axis and Amalias- Goumeron were obtained and tested in order to ascertain their physical characteristics and mineralogical composition. Further, engineering properties which are independent of stress history, i.e. intrinsic, of the materials sampled, were determined. These were the residual strength as determined by ring shearing and the compressibility of reconstituted samples. The performance of the samples was assessed in terms of grain size distribution and mineralogy. The results show that any attempt to explain or predict intrinsic properties of Hellenic fine grained calcareous sediments without taking simultaneous account of gradation and mineralogy is incomplete and therefore inaccurate
Poor timing and failure of source control are risk factors for mortality in critically ill patients with secondary peritonitis
No full textPurpose: To describe data on epidemiology, microbiology, clinical characteristics and outcome of adult patients admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) with secondary peritonitis, with special emphasis on antimicrobial therapy and source control. Methods: Post hoc analysis of a multicenter observational study (Abdominal Sepsis Study, AbSeS) including 2621 adult ICU patients with intra‐abdominal infection in 306 ICUs from 42 countries. Time-till-source control intervention was calculated as from time of diagnosis and classified into ‘emergency’ (< 2 h), ‘urgent’ (2–6 h), and ‘delayed’ (> 6 h). Relationships were assessed by logistic regression analysis and reported as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: The cohort included 1077 cases of microbiologically confirmed secondary peritonitis. Mortality was 29.7%. The rate of appropriate empiric therapy showed no difference between survivors and non-survivors (66.4% vs. 61.3%, p = 0.1). A stepwise increase in mortality was observed with increasing Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores (19.6% for a value ≤ 4–55.4% for a value > 12, p < 0.001). The highest odds of death were associated with septic shock (OR 3.08 [1.42–7.00]), late-onset hospital-acquired peritonitis (OR 1.71 [1.16–2.52]) and failed source control evidenced by persistent inflammation at day 7 (OR 5.71 [3.99–8.18]). Compared with ‘emergency’ source control intervention (< 2 h of diagnosis), ‘urgent’ source control was the only modifiable covariate associated with lower odds of mortality (OR 0.50 [0.34–0.73]). Conclusion: ‘Urgent’ and successful source control was associated with improved odds of survival. Appropriateness of empirical antimicrobial treatment did not significantly affect survival suggesting that source control is more determinative for outcome. © 2022, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature
