INCIDENCE AND MANAGEMENT OF INTRAOPERATIVE FRACTURES OCCURRING AROUND THE HIP DURING PRIMARY TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Intraoperative fractures although rare are one of the complications known to occur while performing a total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, due to lower incidence rates there is currently a gap in this area of literature that systematically reviews this important issue of complications associated with THA.Method: We looked into Electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), the archives of meetings of orthopaedic associations and the bibliographies of included articles and asked experts to identify prospective studies, published in any language that evaluated intra-operative fractures occurring during total hip arthroplasty from the year 1950-2020. The screening, data extraction and quality assessment were carried out by two researchers and if there was any discrepancy, a third reviewer was involved.Fourteen studies were identified. The reported range of occurrence of fracture while performing hip replacement surgery was found to be 0.4-7.6%. Major risk factors identified were surgical approaches, Elderly age, less Metaphyseal-Diaphyseal Index score, change in resistance while insertion of the femur implants, inexperienced surgeons, uncemented femoral components, use of monoblock elliptical components, implantation of the acetabular components, patients with ankylosing spondylitis, female gender, uncemented stems in patients with abnormal proximal femoral anatomy and with cortices, different stem designs, heterogeneous fracture patterns and toothed design.Intraoperative fractures during THA were managed with cerclage wire, femoral revision, intramedullary nail and cerclage wires, use of internal fixation plates and screws for management of intra operative femur and acetabular fractures.The main reason for intraoperative fracture was found to be usage of cementless implants but planning and timely recognition of risk factors and evaluating them is important in management of intraoperative fractures. Adequate surgical site exposure is critical especially during dislocation of hip, reaming of acetabulum, impaction of implant and preparing the femoral canal for stem insertion. Eccentric and increased reaming of acetabulum to accommodate a larger cup is to be avoided, especially in females and elderly patients as the acetabulum is thinner. However, this area requires more research in order to obtain more evidence on effectiveness, safety and management of intraoperative fractures during THA.

International Studies and Struggles for Inclusion

Abstract In the 3 years between the 2019 and 2022 International Studies Association (ISA) meetings, the profound state of global economic, social, and political upheaval around the world has become unavoidably evident for much, if not most, of the world. Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, movements for inclusion and resulting backlashes sprang up across the globe. As scholars of international affairs, the members of the ISA seek to understand and contextualize world events. However, our members and the organization itself are not passive observers of history. These struggles directly influence the personal experiences of many of our members, within and beyond our profession. For these reasons, ISA leadership felt that it was important to mark the 2022 meeting with a Sapphire Series panel to discuss ``International Studies and Struggles for Inclusion.'' The panel brought together ISA members from various sections and backgrounds to offer diverse perspectives on a host of topics: How does the field of international studies understand these developments? How do struggles for inclusion affect our members and community of social scientists? And perhaps most importantly, what should the ISA be doing about them, in terms of both scholarship and organizational decisions?

CCI’s Jurisdictional Conflict with the Proposed Cement Industry Regulator: An Analysis

Controversial activities by manufacturers in the Indian cement industry have repeatedly invited investigations by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) for allegations of anti-competitive cartelising agreements. These manufacturing firms have created an artificial scarcity of production and supply in the market, using their association meetings as a front for illegal collusive activities. In spite of CCI having penalised the firms for their activities, the continued cartelisation in the cement market has led the Indian government to propose the establishment of a cement and steel industry regulator for proper governance. Along these lines, this paper aims to achieve a middle ground for removing conflict and ensuring cooperation between CCI and the proposed regulator. The author takes the initiative to study the nature of the cartelising activities of Indian cement manufacturers and the action taken by CCI through analysing the stance of the Supreme Court on the primacy of institutions in competition law matters relating to the cement industry. The paper additionally discusses competition enforcement against cement cartels in China and South Africa—two developing nations competing with the growing Indian economy and facing the same issues of deep-rooted cartelisation in the cement industry.

Review of the 38th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Urology (EAU) 2023

WELCOMED by the graceful vocals of the Italian Tenors, Christopher Chapple, European Association of Urology (EAU) Secretary General, opened what he described as a “vibrant programme” at the 38th Annual EAU Congress, held in Milan, Italy between the 10th-13th March 2023. Boasting a rich history of art, architecture, and culture, and home to Leonardo da Vinci’s famous mural ‘The Last Supper’, over this weekend Milan traded its role as a global hub for fashion and design to host the largest urology event in Europe.

Counsellors’ Perceived Causes and strategies for reducing suicidal thoughts among secondary school teenagers

This study is carried out in Anambra state and it adopted the descriptive survey design. Two research questions guided the study. The sample size of the study comprised of 205 counsellors who are willing to participate in the study and they are drawn through accidental sampling techniques at their areas of meetings. The instrument used for data collection is the counsellors’ perceived causes and strategies for reducing suicidal thoughts among secondary school teenagers questionnaire (CSPCASFRSTASSTSQ). The reliability of the instrument coefficient value of 0.70 is established. On the spot administration is used in administering the instrument to ensure 100% return. The data collected in the study is analyzed using the arithmetic mean. The decision rule is that any of the response item for which the mean score is 2.5 and above is taken to mean that the factor exists while any response item for which the mean score is below 2.5 is taken as not being in existence. The study revealed that the causes of suicidal thoughts among other things include: lack of parental love and care, bullying among peers, substance over use, failures in examinations, sexual abuse and loneliness as the causes of suicidal thoughts among secondary school teenagers as perceived by the counsellors. The study also revealed that the counsellors’ perceived strategies for reducing suicidal thoughts among other things are : help them realize reasons to live and future goals, giving them academic support on how to succeed, teaching them the use of grounding techniques, learning the warning signs of suicidal thoughts as a starting point and offering guidance on ways to reach out to loved ones for support as strategies for reducing suicidal thoughts among secondary school teenagers. The researchers also recommended that government should ensure that every secondary school will have a professional counsellors handling secondary school students’ problems early enough before such escalates and also, school counsellors should be teaching parenting skills to improve family relationships for the betterment of all in the family during Parents’ Teachers Association meetings.

The growing clinical effect of SGLT2 inhibitors

In September, 2015, the results of EMPA-REG OUTCOME, the first cardiovascular outcomes study based on a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, empagliflozin, were announced at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. It was the first of a series of cardiovascular outcome studies confirming a significant risk reduction of the three-point MACE (cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke) in people with type 2 diabetes and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It was also the first clinical trial to show potential renal protection: empagliflozin was associated with reduced loss of estimate glomerular filtration rate compared with placebo. Moreover, the trial reported a significant reduction in the risk of hospitalisation for heart failure. 1 Zinman B Wanner C Lachin JM et al.
