    Abstract Neuropathies of the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint are a well-documented cause of pain and weakness in sports people. Repetitive or excessive traction on the nerve supplying the affected muscle is believed to be the primary mechanism. We describe a case of this phenomenon in a young amateur boxer which has never been described in the literature previously. We document our hypothesis on the mechanism of injury as well as a successful treatment strategy we employed. This paper is designed to highlight shoulder pain with associated winging of the scapula should make one wary of a dorsal scapular neuropathy particularly in a sports person who utilises repetitive forceful actions.

    Abstract Background: The games of hurling and camogie involve fast ball movement and a substantial physical contact with opposing players. The wearing of protective helmets with faceguards became obligatory 10 years ago and resulted in a significant reduction of craniofacial injuries. However since then a trend has emerged of players modifying helmets to improve comfort and vision. As officials are not yet required to perform pre-match checks, many players enter competition with defective protective equipment which poses a risk to both themselves and others.
    Methods: We present 4 cases of penetrating upper limb injury in hurlers sustained as a result of helmet faceguards. These injuries were sustained during competitive play and the affected patients presented with portions of the faceguards embedded in their wounds. Each patient required admission to hospital and exploration of their wounds under general anaesthetic.
    Conclusions: This case series demonstrates the dangers of modification and damage to protective helmet faceguards used in hurling and camogie. We encourage helmet manufacturers to re-engage with players to ensure that current safety equipment meets the functional demands of the modern player while adhering to approved manufacturing standards. Mandatory helmet checks before competitive games would reduce the likelihood of penetrating upper limb injury to players.

    Abstract Study Design Case report. Objective Although May-Thurner syndrome or iliac vein compression syndrome is covered in the vascular literature, it remains absent from the orthopedic and neurosurgery literature and has not been previously reported to occur in concordance with spine surgery. We review the salient points of disease presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. Methods A 33-year-old woman was followed postoperatively via clinical and radiographic findings. Her presentation, operative treatment, postoperative extensive deep venous thrombosis (DVT) formation, and management are described. Results We present a unique case of a healthy 33-year-old woman who developed an extensive left iliac vein DVT after anterior lumbar spine fusion. Although she had multiple risk factors for thrombosis, the size of the thrombus was atypical. A subsequent venogram showed compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery, consistent with May-Thurner syndrome. Conclusions May-Thurner syndrome or iliac vein compression syndrome is a rare diagnosis that is absent from the spine literature. The condition can predispose patients to extensive iliac vein DVT. The contributing anatomy and subsequent clot often require catheter-directed thrombolysis and stenting to achieve a favorable outcome.

  7. Book ; Online: SAMI Automated Plug Plate Configuration

    Abstract The Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral field spectrograph (SAMI) is a prototype wide-field system at the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) which uses a plug-plate to mount its 13 x 61-core imaging fibre bundles (hexabundles) in the optical path at the telescope's prime focus. In this paper we describe the process of determining the positions of the plug-plate holes, where plates contain three or more stacked observation configurations. The process, which up until now has involved several separate processes and has required significant manual configuration and checking, is now being automated to increase efficiency and reduce error. This is carried out by means of a thin Java controller layer which drives the configuration cycle. This layer controls the user interface and the C++ algorithm layer where the plate configuration and optimisation is carried out. Additionally, through the Aladin display package, it provides visualisation and facilitates user verification of the resulting plates.

  9. Article: The relationship between cholinesterase inhibition and two types of swimming performance in chlorpyrifos-exposed coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch).

    Abstract: Brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was evaluated after two different swimming tests in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch; 238 +/- 5 g) given 96-h exposures to 0, 5, 10, 20, or 40 microg/L of chlorpyrifos. Brain AChE activity decreased in a ... ...

    Abstract Brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was evaluated after two different swimming tests in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch; 238 +/- 5 g) given 96-h exposures to 0, 5, 10, 20, or 40 microg/L of chlorpyrifos. Brain AChE activity decreased in a concentration-dependent manner (AChE activities were 81.8, 52.2, 37.3, and 21.3% of control for the 5, 10, 20, and 40 microg/L exposures, respectively), whereas swimming performance was impaired after a threshold of AChE impairment was reached. Specifically, for swimming performance (U(crit)) measured using the established ramp-U(crit) test (duration, 152 +/- 8 min), this threshold occurred with AChE activity of 68.5% +/- 18.1% of control. For a rapid acceleration test (U(deltav), where V represents velocity; 27.6 +/- 0.8 min), this value was 52.6% +/- 15.4% of control. Both swim protocols resulted in similar maximum swim speeds (control ramp-U(crit) and U(deltav) values of 3.44 +/- 0.09 and 3.71 +/- 0.13 body lengths/s, respectively), and performance was significantly reduced after 20 and 40 microg/L exposures in both groups (ramp-U(crit) values: 86.4 and 83.6 %, respectively, of control; U(deltav) values: 85.2 and 77.8%, rsepectively, of control). Although both tests yielded similar swim speeds, postexercise plasma lactate concentrations were greater for the U(deltav) test (11.3 +/- 0.6 vs 8.6 +/- 0.5 mmol/L), indicating a greater anaerobic effort. This increase was exaggerated after 10 microg/L of chlorpyrifos (14.6 +/- 1.3 mmol/L), indicating that anaerobic muscle was used to attain the same speed. Given the threshold relationship between AChE inhibition and swimming performance, coho salmon appear able to maintain integrated swimming activity despite significant impairment of an underlying neurological control mechanism.

    Abstract Three different acceptor moieties, 2,3-di-n-octyl-5,8-bis(5-bromothiophene-2-yl)quinoxaline, 2,3-bis(4'-tert-butylbiphenyl-4-yl)-5,8-bis(5-bromothiophene-2-yl)quinoxaline, and 2,3-bis(4'-n-octylbiphenyl-4-yl)-5,8-bis(5-bromothiophene-2-yl)quinoxaline, have been designed und synthesized utilizing Suzuki cross-couplings. Subsequently, these acceptor units have been connected to thiophene donor units by Stille cross-couplings, resulting in three novel donor-acceptor-donor moieties. In addition, alternating copolymers of these donor-acceptor-donor building blocks with fluorene units have been prepared by microwave-supported Suzuki cross-couplings. The materials have been fully characterized and the optical properties have been analyzed. Single-layer polymer red-light-emitting diodes have been prepared by blending 3 wt % of the alternating copolymers with poly(9,9'-(bis(n-octyl)fluorene-co-benzothiadiazole), revealing efficiencies ranging from 0.19 to 0.75 cd/A.
