Abstract

Background: Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a disease of the glenohumeral joint that is characterized by pain and both passive and active global stiffness with a slow and insidious onset. The disease can occur spontaneously (primary AC) or it can be secondary to other comorbidities, surgery, or trauma, such as fracture or dislocation. Multiple treatment approaches have been suggested: intra-articular steroid injection, physical therapy, manipulation under total anesthesia, and arthroscopic or open surgery. Shoulder manipulation under anesthesia is usually proposed to patients that suffer from severe AC and have already undergone several nonoperative treatments without benefit. Different techniques have been proposed. This study presents our manipulation technique and the clinical results we achieved after shoulder mobilization under brachial plexus block in patients with phase III primary AC. Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on a sample of 110 patients with phase III AC who were treated with this manipulation and followed up for 1 year. Patients underwent two assessments—before the procedure (T0) and 4 months after it (T1)—based on the Numerical Rating Scale, Simple Shoulder Test, and joint range of motion to assess shoulder pain, function, and joint articulation, respectively. Furthermore, the patients had to express their degree of satisfaction with the procedure and the results achieved. Results: Positive and statistically significant results were recorded in terms of pain reduction (ΔNPRS = − 5.4; p < 0.01) and improved functionality (Simple Shoulder Test Δ = 5; p < 0.01). Passive range of motion was statistically significantly increased for each movement at T1. Large increases were observed in extrarotation range of motion (ROM): R1 (Δ = 77.5°) and R2 (Δ = 70°), whereas little improvements were observed in intrarotation ROM. Patients achieved satisfying functional and articular recovery in all cases. Complications that needed further treatment occurred in three cases: a brachial plexus injury, a glenoid flake fracture, and persistent pain and stiffness. Conclusions: In this study, we proposed a standardized method of manipulation under brachial plexus block for patients affected by phase III adhesive capsulitis. The technique was applied among a large cohort of patients, who reported a high satisfaction rate and range-of-motion recovery after 4 months. This could represent an alternative treatment to surgery that has a shorter timeline and does not require patient hospitalization. Level of evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Abstract

In southern Italy, many oak stands have been affected by the decline syndrome attributed to several biotic and abiotic causes. Various fungal microorganisms, such as Diplodia corticola A.J.L. Phillips, Alves & Luque, were found to be associated with the syndrome, demonstrating either an endophytic asymptomatic or a pathogenetic behaviour, or both, in succession. The objective of this study was to examine a first series of in vitro tests conducted on the antagonistic activity of some endophytic fungi belonging to the species Trichoderma viride Pers.: Fries, Epicoccum nigrum Link., Fusarium tricinctum (Corda) Sacc., Alternaria alternata (Fries) Keissler, Sclerotina sclerotiorum (Libert) De Bary and Cytospora sp. towards D. corticola. These endophytic fungi were obtained from four declining oak woods in Southern Italy. A secondary aim was to define a correct silvicultural interventions to contain decline in the oak stands from which the fungi were extracted.

Abstract

This paper evaluates the performance of a low-cost technology in rural Benin (West Africa) that locally produces chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) and then injects it into the community water tanks. Thirty-one water tanks were selected in cooperation with local authorities to receive electro-chlorinator devices (WATA™). Water samples were tested at two points: before chlorination and at the most distant terminal after chlorination. Residual chlorine control tests and microbiology control tests were performed. Water samples that tested positive for the presence of microorganisms were analyzed at a laboratory when possible. The water provided to the community was not always chlorinated, and over half of the tanks lacked access to chlorine powder. Among the sites using the technology, 30% (9/31) of them had structural problems that prevented the existing system from performing adequately. Furthermore, 60% of the water samples collected before chlorination were positive for microbiological contamination. All samples collected from systems where proper chlorination was taking place tested negative for microbiological contamination. However, the water from six tanks presenting structural problems continued to be distributed to the population despite contamination. The average residual chlorine level analyzed at the most distant terminal fountain was 0.29±0.2 mg/L, which is within the country's reference level 0.1-0.8 mg/L. The installation of water-chlorinator devices (WATA™) produces water without microbiological contamination and with chlorine levels within the WHO's recommended values. However, the success of the technology depends on the pre-existing structure of the water tank. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

All-optical modulators have been fabricated, based on the infrared photoinduced absorption produced within an optical waveguide upon visible light illumination. The modulation data are analyzed by means of simulation software based on a numerical mode solver. It is found that the modulation depth increases for pump illumination energy closer to the energy gap of the guiding material, while illumination at varying intensity shows a sublinear dependence of the photoinduced absorption. The results are discussed in terms of occupation statistics of gap states. It is shown that the major contribution to the photoinduced signal derives from the modulation of the occupation of tail states under illumination. Modeling of the phenomenon allows one to predict the behavior of a given device and opens the way to practical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
