Full textAbstract:
Practical relevance: Periarticular stifle fractures are uncommon but challenging injuries to treat. There may be concurrent damage to the ligaments and stabilising structures of the stifle joint itself, which should also be evaluated (see Part 1 of this article series). Improved knowledge of the fixation options and biomechanical challenges of these injuries will aid clinical decision-making and effective repair. Clinical challenges: Due to their nature, periarticular fractures may have small juxta-articular fragments, which require additional thought to address during stabilisation. In juvenile animals, these fractures typically involve the physis and often can be managed with cross pin fixation. In adult cats, locking fixation, specialised plates or external skeletal fixators can be utilised to address the juxta-articular fragments. Readers should also be aware of patellar fracture and dental anomaly syndrome (PADS), where cats develop insufficiency fractures affecting the patella and proximal tibia. A careful oral examination should be performed in affected patients, as these cats may have persistent deciduous teeth. Close attention should be paid to preoperative radiographs for evidence of chronicity of the injury including sclerosis of the patella, remodelling and blunting of the fracture lines. Aims: The aims of the article are to review the current literature surrounding periarticular fractures of the stifle joint and to summarise the diagnosis, treatment, outcome and complications of each fracture type. As well as discussing general fracture fixation and biomechanical principles applicable to both dogs and cats, information is provided on specific issues facing cats, such as PADS. Evidence base: Published data is limited, with reports including only a small number of cats. The information and recommendations in this article have therefore been drawn from a combination of the available literature and the authors’ clinical experience.

Background: This report provides detailed information with illustrative examples of more than seven patients (eight hips) with one specific rare condition valgus of SCFE. The purpose of this study was to describe and comment on the complete analysis of seven cases of valgus SCFE. Patients and Methods: The research was performed based on the study of the following variables: clinical patient history, symptomatology and physical findings. Admission for anteroposterior (AP) view and Lauenstein [1] frog-leg position for lateral radiograph view of both hips (validated instrument) was performed. A retrospective review maintained data base of patients diagnosed with valgus SCFE was conducted. Patients with radiographically valgus SCFE were identified, confirmed and in the analysis, included. Medical records for clinical features, treatment, and outcomes, were reviewed. Results: Seven patients from the database were indentified: the patient average age at diagnosis was ten years and six months old, within follow up time of thirty six months. All valgus SCFE patients with localized disease with conservative treatment using cast immobilization were managed. Two hips showed evidences of chondrolysis; however just one patient presented juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) disease diagnosed. Conclusions: The hip joint in our series treated by plaster cast immobilization method to control the progressive valgus displacement of the epiphysis was effective and capable of being justified, and functional. Chondrolysis and its link as a complication were described. This research is justified by the importance and attention that the entity deserves.

Many researchers reported rates of infected dogs with T. canis and cats with Toxocara cati all over the world. The degree of tissue damage in the host and the concomitant elicitation of signs and symptoms are varied in different invaded tissues. The liver, lungs and central nervous system, including the eyes, are considered the most sensitive organs. In addition, the number of migrating juveniles and the age of the host. Inflammation manifests as eosinophilic granulomas. The immediate hypersensitivity responses to dying and dead larvae in the viscera, including the lungs, liver and brain, produce symptoms characteristic of VLM. The current review discusses the Toxocara sp. infection from the historical background, taxonomy, lifecycle, pathogeneses, clinical signs, epidemiology, diagnosis, control and treatment. And provides an overview of existing literature and data on the Toxocaraiasis with their references.

Full textAbstract:
When we read crime fiction, we oftentimes expect a cast dominated by adult characters. This is likely a result of decades’ worth of popular crime fiction narratives almost exclusively containing adult characters. The earliest literature in the mystery and crime genre that was targeted towards younger audiences contained teenage detectives and adult criminals because it allowed the younger audiences to read about powerful teenagers overthrowing adult authority while still only engaging in acceptable moral activities in an attempt to decrease or discourage juvenile delinquency. A newer trend among young adult crime fiction novels is the adolescent playing the part of the criminal in addition to the detective. Applying social cognitive theory explored in the study conducted by Black and Barnes to the roles of adolescents in Karen M. McManus’s young adult mystery novel One of Us Is Lying and its sequel One of Us Is Next, this paper will analyze the novels’ adolescent characters to show how adolescent characters in young adult crime fiction reflect their young audiences’ desires to subvert adult hierarchies while still displaying acceptable morals and how they possibly influence their sense of morality.

Full textAbstract:
Background:The group of the most common monogenic auto-inflammatory diseases (mAIDs) includes FMF, TRAPS, HIDS, CAPS. Descriptions of these diseases are widely presented in the literature, but they are not well covered among adults. MAIDs in the adult rheumatological practice are found: 1) in pts with the onset and diagnostics of the disease in their childhood; 2) in pts with juvenile onset, but diagnostics of the disease in their adulthood; 3) in pts with the onset of the disease in adulthood. Adult specialists, in contrast to pediatricians, are not very well aware of the clinical and laboratory picture, course, age characteristics, approaches to treatment, consequences of mAID, which leads to late diagnostics and untimely prescription of targeted therapy, development of complications (amyloidosis) and damage to organs, life quality impairment.Objectives:To characterize adult patients with mAIDs in the practice of a rheumatologist.Methods:Within the period from 2009 to 2020, 123 patients with mAIDs (FMF-53, CAPS-44, TRAPS-21, HIDS-5) were diagnosed, of which 50 were adults. All pts underwent a standard rheumatological examination, including ESR, CRP, ophthalmological and other instrumental examinations, audiogram, if required. Molecular genetic analysis of genes MEFV, TNFRSF1A, MVK, NLRP3 was performed in all pts. All but one patient with CAPS (CINCA / NOMID) showed feature genetic mutations.Results:The study included 50 pts aged 18 to 66 years, 35 women, 15 men. The age of onset was from 0 to 53 years, in 88% of cases the onset of the disease was noted in childhood, 6 pts debuted at the age over 18 years (4 with FMF - 23-35 years; 2 CAPS - 51 and 53 years). As of the time of inclusion into the study, the duration of the disease ranged from 6 months to 59 years. All patients had fever, skin rashes were present in the majority (72%) of pts with CAPS (urticaria), TRAPS (erythematous and anulyariform) and HIDS (spotted), in half of pts with FMF (erysipeloid erythema). Articular manifestations were present in the majority of pts (80%), oligoarthritis in 38%, mainly in pts with CAPS (35%) and FMF (47.8%). Polyarthritis occurred in 18% of pts. Ophthalmic changes (32%) in the form of conjunctivitis and/or uveitis were more common in patients with CAPS (65%), sensorineural deafness only in pts with CAPS (40%), stomatitis in 16% in pts, more often in case of CAPS (35%). Family history is aggravated in almost half of pts. All pts showed an increase in ESR and CRP performance. Colchicine treatment was used mainly in patients with FMF. Glucocorticoids (GC) and biological agents (IL-1 inhibitors) were more often received by pts with CAPS (55% and 60%).Table 1.Clinical and demographic characteristics of adult patients with mAIDsAIDsFMF (23)CAPS (20)TRAPS (5)HIDS (2)N (%)Fever23(100)20 (100)5 (100)2 (100)50 (100)Rash11(47,8)18 (90)5 (100)2 (100)36 (72)Joints17 (73,9)16 (80)5 (100)2 (100)40(80)eye symptoms1(4,3)13 (65)2 (40)-16(32)Sensorineural hearing loss-8 (40)--Family history11(47,8)8 (40)3 (60)-22 (44)Colchicine2312-26 (52)Steroids3113219 (38)Biological therapy5123121 (42)Etanercept2-1-3 (6)Adalimumab11--2 (4)Tocilizumab12-14 (8)Canakinumab172-10 (20)Anakinra15--6 (12)Conclusion:The study of the peculiarities of the course of mAIDs in adults, increase in the awareness of adult rheumatologists about these diseases will improve and speed up diagnostics, develop approaches to treatment and management algorithms in order to improve the prognosis and quality of patients’ life.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Full textAbstract:
Snappers of the family Lutjanidae contain several of the most important reef-fishery species in the tropical western Atlantic. Despite their importance, substantial gaps exist for both systematic and ecological information, especially for the southwestern Atlantic. Recent collecting efforts along the coast of Brazil have resulted in the discovery of many new reef-fish species, including commercially important parrotfishes (Scaridae) and grunts (Haemulidae). Based on field collecting, museum specimens, and literature records, we describe a new species of snapper, Lutjanus alexandrei, which is apparently endemic to the Brazilian coast. The newly settled and early juvenile life stages are also described. This species is common in many Brazilian reef and coastal estuarine systems where it has been often misidentified as the gray snapper, Lutjanus griseus, or the schoolmaster, L. apodus. Identification of the new species cast doubt on prior distributional assumptions about the southern ranges of L. griseus and L. apodus, and subsequent field and museum work confirmed that those species are not reliably recorded in Brazil. The taxonomic status of two Brazilian species previously referred to Lutjanus, Bodianus aya and Genyoroge canina, is reviewed to determine the number of valid Lutjanus species occurring in Brazil. Twelve species of Lutjanus are now recognized in the western Atlantic, eight of which occur in Brazil (one endemic). A key for the identification of all western Atlantic Lutjanus species and their known distributional ranges is also provided.

Full textAbstract:
Diversas investigaciones resumen el perfeccionismo como un conjunto de rasgos claramente negativos los cuales son especialmente preocupantes en la etapa de la adolescencia debido a la presión por compañeros y familiares a nivel social, académico, deportivo y cultural entre otros, cuestión que se transforma en un rasgo patológico. Por otro lado, existe un colectivo de población infanto-juvenil que rechaza ir a la escuela con la finalidad de llamar la atención de los demás. Es decir, les crea ansiedad ante la separación de la figura familiar. En el presente estudio se pretendía observar si existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en perfeccionismo con adolescentes ecuatorianos con elevadas y pequeñas puntuaciones en la búsqueda de la atención de otras personas significativas. Para ello se utilizó el Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) y la School Refusal Assessment Scale-Revised for Children (SRAS-R-C). La muestra total de participantes fue de 1920 adolescentes de edades comprendidas entre 15 y 18 años matriculados en cursos entre 1º y 3º de Bachillerato. Las diferencias halladas se dan en ambos grupos de rechazo escolar para el Perfeccionismo Socialmente Prescrito (PSP), Perfeccionismo Auto Orientado-Esfuerzos (PAOE) y el Perfeccionismo Auto Orientado – Crítica (PAO-C), siendo los estudiantes con mayor nivel de rechazo escolar los que puntuaron más elevado en PSP (d = .17), PAO-E (d = 15) y PAO-C (d = .35). A este respecto, es necesario ampliar la investigación en este campo de estudio teniendo en cuenta la vulnerabilidad en la personalidad de los adolescentes y la asociación con multitud de trastornos psicopatológicos con los que correlaciona el perfeccionismo según la literatura previa.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Expandable distal femur endoprosthesis (EDFE) is commonly used to compensate for the loss of the distal femoral epiphyseal plate in skeletally immature children who have undergone surgical resection of bone malignancies. However, the effect of the passive tibial component of the EDFE on tibial growth has not been extensively studied in the literature. This study aims to delineate the type, frequency, and associated risk factors of multiplanar proximal tibial deformities in skeletally immature children following the use of the expandable distal femur endoprosthesis (EDFE). Moreover, we plan to detect how these deformities influence the long-term functionality of the endoprosthesis in defining the need for subsequent implant revision or further surgical management. Patients and Methods: A total of 20 patients aged (7–12) years underwent expandable distal femur replacement. Two types of implants were used: Juvenile Tumor System (JTS) non-invasive prosthesis in 14 patients, and Modular Universal Tumor and Revision System (MUTARS)® Xpand Growing Prostheses in six patients. A scanogram and CT scan documented the measurements of longitudinal and multiplanar growth as leg length discrepancy (LLD), femur length discrepancy (FLD), tibia length discrepancy (TLD), and the yield values of rotational, sagittal, and coronal deformities of the tibia. The patients were followed up to assess the need for further management. Sex, age, size of tibial plate perforation, and type of implant used were studied for possible correlation with deformities or growth disturbance. Results: The patients were followed up for a mean of 3 (2–7) years. A total of 14 patients, (10 JTS, 4 implant cast) had a tibial deformity and/or growth disturbance. A single patient was found to have all deformities (growth, rotational, coronal, and sagittal). Fourteen patients were found to have an LLD ranging from 5.3 to 59 mm (median 21 mm), 12 had a TLD from 3 to 30 mm, (median 10 mm), and 11 patients showed evidence of malrotation from 6 to 32 degrees (median 11 degrees). TLD was found to contribute entirely to LLD in three patients, and >50% of LLDs in seven patients. All LLDs were treated conservatively, except in three patients; two received contralateral tibia epiphysiodesis and one received revision with a new implant. A single patient had a posterior tibia slope angle (PTSA) of −2.8 degrees, and three patients had a coronal deformity with a mean medial proximal tibia angle (MPTA) of 80.3 (77–83 degrees). Conclusions: Tibial growth disturbance and multiplanar deformities occur in the majority of patients following EDFE replacement, exacerbating LLD. Yet, these disturbances may be well tolerated, managed conservatively, and rarely mandate endoprosthetic revision or subsequent corrective surgery. Age at the time of surgery was found to be the only significant contributor to the development of tibia growth disturbance.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundThe cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 plays a pivotal role in immune-mediated disorders, particularly in autoinflammatory diseases. Targeting this cytokine proved to be efficacious in treating numerous IL-1-mediated pathologies. Currently, three IL-1 blockers are approved, namely anakinra, canakinumab and rilonacept, and two additional ones are expected to receive approval, namely gevokizumab and bermekimab. However, there is no systematic review on the safety and efficacy of these biologics in treating immune-mediated diseases.ObjectiveTo evaluate safety and efficacy of anakinra, canakinumab, rilonacept, gevokizumab, and bermekimab for the treatment of immune-mediated disorders compared to placebo, standard-of-care treatment or other biologics.MethodsThe PRISMA checklist guided the reporting of the data. We searched the PubMed database between 1 January 1984 and 31 December 2020 focusing on immune-mediated disorders. Our PubMed literature search identified 7363 articles. After screening titles and abstracts for the inclusion and exclusion criteria and assessing full texts, 75 articles were included in a narrative synthesis.ResultsAnakinra was both efficacious and safe in treating cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), gout, macrophage activation syndrome, recurrent pericarditis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). Conversely, anakinra failed to show efficacy in graft-versus-host disease, Sjögren’s syndrome, and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Canakinumab showed efficacy in treating CAPS, FMF, gout, hyper-IgD syndrome, RA, Schnitzler’s syndrome, sJIA, and TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome. However, use of canakinumab in the treatment of adult-onset Still’s disease and T1DM revealed negative results. Rilonacept was efficacious and safe for the treatment of CAPS, FMF, recurrent pericarditis, and sJIA. Contrarily, Rilonacept did not reach superiority compared to placebo in the treatment of T1DM. Gevokizumab showed mixed results in treating Behçet’s disease-associated uveitis and no benefit when assessed in T1DM. Bermekimab achieved promising results in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa.ConclusionsThis systematic review of IL-1-targeting biologics summarizes the current state of research, safety, and clinical efficacy of anakinra, bermekimab, canakinumab, gevokizumab, and rilonacept in treating immune-mediated disorders.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42021228547.

Full textAbstract:
Shapiro, Simon and Sheryl Shapiro. What Can You Do with Only One Shoe: Reuse, Recycle, Reinvent. Illus. Francis Black. Toronto: Annick Press, 2014. Print.The publisher is promoting this charmingly-illustrated book as one intended to inspire a practical and constructive response to the environmental concerns with which we all must grapple. It is a theme which is oddly underrepresented in children’s books, perhaps because it is difficult to craft an approach which is empowering.This book considers popular contemporary ideas about recycling/repurposing everyday objects which have outlived their initial purpose, but it is not the do-it-yourself handbook that it appears to be. Instead, it is a collection of juvenile short poems with a humorously entertaining tone, but no clear message. Clearly, we should not judge this book by its title or by its covers. One poem makes fun of a toilet-turned-into-a-planter and offered as a gift, while another offers a range of silly suggested uses for a single shoe, including flattening pancakes. There is a poem which describes a tractor pulling a “broom propeller” for street sweeping which doesn’t work very well (“pebbles flying left and right”) and another in which a dog made of bicycle parts is less than satisfying (“he can’t lick my nose”). There are some poems with a less mocking tone, but which offer suggestions that are even more absurd, such as children making musical instruments from rusty cans retrieved from a landfill site or children building their own playground, complete with a swing and a slide, from an old ambulance. Intended for children aged 5-8 years old, I wonder what young readers would make of these poems.The illustrations by Francis Blake are by far the best feature of this book. Going well beyond what is found in the poems, the illustrator has created a marvelous cast of characters that are expressive in a way that is both quirky and charming. While the illustrations deserve four stars out of four, the text certainly does not.Not recommended: 1 star out of 4 Reviewer: Linda QuirkLinda taught courses in Multicultural Canadian Literature, Women's Writing, and Children's Literature at Queen's University (Kingston) and at Seneca College (Toronto) before moving to Edmonton to become the Assistant Special Collections Librarian at the Bruce Peel Special Collections Library at the University of Alberta. Her favourite children's book to teach is Hana's Suitcase, not only because Hana's story is so compelling, but because the format of this non-fiction book teaches students of all ages about historical investigation and reveals that it is possible to recover the stories of those who have been forgotten by history.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract If some poets prefer their earliest work to be given a quiet burial, there are others who find youthful productions, and mistakes, serviceable in their mature careers. Louis MacNeice belongs to this second category. The poetry of his early years, though for the most part dropped from the collected editions of his work, has distinct relevance for his writings from the 1930s until his death in 1963. Indeed, MacNeice gave public burials to his early work with some regularity in his critical essays. The reasons for this have largely failed to interest his critics, but the juvenilia have enough inherent value to be of interest outside the small circle of MacNeice scholars. This largely forgotten body of work casts a revealing light on the poetic experience of the ‘thirties generation’, the first poets in England whose encounter with Modernism was, in the phrase T. S. Eliot used for his generation’s reading of Shelley, ‘an affair of adolescence’. This article will survey MacNeice’s creative writing from 1924, when he was a pupil at Marlborough School, until 1930, when he left Oxford with a First Class Honours degree in ‘Greats’ (specializing in philosophy and classical literature) to take up an appointment as a lecturer in Greek at Birmingham University.
