    Abstract: ... windstorms that occurred over the observational period (e.g. Gudrun, Kyrill, Klaus, Xynthia and Vaia) and ...

    Abstract Strong winds may uproot and break trees and represent a major natural disturbance for European forests. Wind disturbances have intensified over the last decades globally and are expected to further rise in view of the effects of climate change. Despite the importance of such natural disturbances, there are currently no spatially explicit databases of wind-related impact at a pan-European scale. Here, we present a new database of wind disturbances in European forests (FORWIND). FORWIND is comprised of more than 80 000 spatially delineated areas in Europe that were disturbed by wind in the period 2000–2018 and describes them in a harmonized and consistent geographical vector format. The database includes all major windstorms that occurred over the observational period (e.g. Gudrun, Kyrill, Klaus, Xynthia and Vaia) and represents approximately 30 % of the reported damaging wind events in Europe. Correlation analyses between the areas in FORWIND and land cover changes retrieved from the Landsat-based Global Forest Change dataset and the MODIS Global Disturbance Index corroborate the robustness of FORWIND. Spearman rank coefficients range between 0.27 and 0.48 ( p value < 0.05). When recorded forest areas are rescaled based on their damage degree, correlation increases to 0.54. Wind-damaged growing stock volumes reported in national inventories (FORESTORM dataset) are generally higher than analogous metrics provided by FORWIND in combination with satellite-based biomass and country-scale statistics of growing stock volume. The potential of FORWIND is explored for a range of challenging topics and scientific fields, including scaling relations of wind damage, forest vulnerability modelling, remote sensing monitoring of forest disturbance, representation of uprooting and breakage of trees in large-scale land surface models, and hydrogeological risks following wind damage. Overall, FORWIND represents an essential and open-access spatial source that can be used to improve the understanding, detection and prediction of ...

    Abstract This study evaluated the quality and quantity of osseointegration of two thicknesses of hydroxyapatite coating on press-fit, porous-coated titanium implants in a canine hip model. In 12 dogs, titanium press-fit porous-coated prostheses were implanted. The stems had a 50-microm thickness hydroxyapatite coating, 100-microm thickness hydroxyapatite coating, or no hydroxyapatite coating. The animals were randomized into one of three groups and received one of the three implants. The implants were retrieved and examined 4 months after implantation. Direct juxtaposition of bone to the surface of the hydroxyapatite-coated implants with no intervening fibrous tissue layer was observed. There was no histologic evidence that hydroxyapatite initiated any foreign body reaction, nor was there any irregularity or resorption of the hydroxyapatite coating. There was a statistically significant greater degree of total bone apposition and bone ingrowth in the implants coated with hydroxyapatite at the level of the isthmus and the calcar. No statistical difference was found between the two groups with hydroxyapatite coatings in the degree of bone ingrowth or bone apposition.

    Abstract The advantages of the use of ceramic in prosthetics are well-known, especially the fact that the coefficient of friction is significantly lower at the bone-ceramic interface than at the bone-metal interface. For this reason, ceramic is used for the cephalic component of the hemiarthroplasty. The advantages of ceramic, however, are purely theoretical, and have never been scientifically proven. The aim of our study, conducted on 20 dogs, was to observe the long-term effects of femoral prosthesis with a ceramic or cobalt-chromium cephalic component upon the acetabular cartilage. Our research was conducted on homogeneous groups of dogs under similar conditions. At 8 months, the results showed evident cartilage damage that was equal in both groups. We therefore conclude that as far as everyday wear neither material is favored over the other.

    Abstract Twelve total knee arthroplasties were performed on 12 patients who had osteoarthritis. The freshly resected tibial plateaus and femoral condyles were divided in 2, and each half was subjected to different methods of preparation. One half of the specimen was irrigated with saline with a standard bulb syringe, while the other half was irrigated with pulsed lavage. Cement then was pressurized into the cut surfaces. Sections were analyzed using the Image Analysis Software Morphometry System. A significant increase in cement penetration and decrease in bone debris were found in pulsed lavage specimens as compared with controls (p < 0.05). The penetration of cement in total knee components can be significantly increased by using pulsed lavage of the cancellous surfaces.

    Abstract Virtually complete extramedullary insertion of an Austin Moore prosthesis is a rare complication. The prosthesis is seldom left in such a position once the complication has been recognized. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported long-term follow-up study of such a case in which the result could be considered reasonably well-tolerated. The prosthesis was revised to a total hip arthroplasty 15 years following implantation. That the reason for excision was acetabular wear indicates that the prosthesis was load bearing. This case raises the question of whether the concept of extramedullary fixation of hip prostheses could be valid.

    Abstract We evaluated the results of 85 patients having L4-L5 disc excision (52 having disc excision alone, and 33 having disc excision and fusion) using the Smiley-Webster scale at an average follow-up of 7.3 years. Both groups (fusion and nonfusion) were comparable except that the nonfusion group had a significantly higher percentage of patients with a history of chronic back pain and degenerative changes on their initial radiographs. The fusion group had significantly better results compared with the nonfusion group (85% satisfactory results versus 39% satisfactory results). The most common cause of unsatisfactory results in the fusion group was pseudarthrosis (two) while progressive degenerative disc disease (18) and recurrent disc prolapse (eight) were the most common cause of unsatisfactory results in the nonfusion group. The overall reoperation rate was 9.4% (13.5% in the nonfusion group, and 3% in the fusion group.

    Abstract The study deals with the bone-prosthesis interface using an in vivo experimental animal model in relation to loading and walking on the prosthetized hip, studied by force plate analysis. The interface is studied from a histological and morphometric point of view by means of a LECO 2001 system. Results show that titanium favors osteointegration according to the criteria of Branemark even in conditions of physiological loading; bone ingrowth (that cannot be considered a true process of osteointegration) was 27.6%; furthermore, we quantified two models of periprosthetic bone growth in an osteointegrative sense: total bone bonding (27.4%) and core bone bonding (bone that grows in direct contact with the prosthesis) that was 16.1%. Finally, osteointegration tends to be greater where contact between the bone and the prosthetic is closer, regardless of the type of prosthetic coating.

    Abstract Forty-four Madreporic, cementless, total hip arthroplasties performed on 41 patients were reviewed, with special attention to overall clinical results and radiologic findings. Follow-up averaged 17 months (range from 6 to 27 months). Subjectively, 87% of patients rated the results of their operation as being excellent or good; objectively, 92.5% were in the excellent or good category, using the Harris hip scale rating system. Short-term radiologic findings were of major interest, with proximal medial calcar reabsorption (7 hips), thickening of the lateral cortex at the tip of the femoral stem (2 hips) and sclerosis at the tip of the femoral component (15 hips) all being present. Complications were associated with 11 operations, but adversely affected long-term results in only two hips. The authors conclude that short-term clinical results using Madreporic total hip replacement are satisfactory. However, long-term biomechanical effects of stress shielding and use of a large, rigid, femoral component in the uncemented total hip replacement are unknown. A long-term, follow-up study is necessary to demonstrate whether the early radiologic findings in this series are progressive and whether they will result in serious morbidity with time. The authors strongly believe that the Madreporic cementless total hip arthroplasty should be used only in centres dealing with a large volume of hip conditions where staff are committed to documenting and reporting the results of surgery regularly.
