A Finite Element Analysis of Glenoid Replacement Prostheses in Normal and Rheumatoid Arthritic Bone

Among glenoid replacement post-operative complications, glenoid component loosening is the most reoccurring problem (Lacroix et al., 2000).

Glenoid prosthesis design can be grouped into two categories: "keeled" or "pegged". The first design is characterized by a tapered "fin" of a rectangular cross-section. The pegged design includes several circular pegs of various lengths inserted into the glenoid volume. A three-dimensional FE model including the entire scapula, cement fixation, and polyethylene keeled glenoid prostheses, was generated to investigate the hypothesis according to which keeled prostheses are performing better than pegged designs in patients affected by rheumatoid arthritis. Quantitative computed tomography (qCT) and experimental driven muscle loading were adopted to recapitulate bone geometry, material property, and a realistic mechanical loading scenario. Three-dimensional brick and wedge elements were used to generate the bone, the cement, the pegged (8148 elements) and keeled (8411 elements) prostheses meshes (Figure I.1.4.4).

Results showed that the stresses in the polyethylene components for both designs were not high enough (~2 MPa) to cause failure. In contrast, twisting of the components was shown to occur, and was more prominent in the pegged prosthesis. More importantly, the analysis demonstrated a clear distinction in the prostheses' performance depending on the patient's bone quality. The starting hypothesis derived from the clinical experience was confirmed: in normal bone keeled design (94% and 68% probability to survive for the pegged and keeled prostheses, respectively) has a larger volume of highly stressed cement, compared to the pegged design (Figure I.1.4.5A). In simulated rheumatoid arthritic bone the situation reverses. A limited fraction of cement around the keeled design (86% and 99% probability to survive for the pegged and keeled prostheses respectively) is highly stressed because the large majority of the load is carried by the cortical shell, whereas the pegged prosthesis has a greater volume of highly stressed cement (Figure I.1.4.5B). This study demonstrates the importance of a holistic approach to the design of orthopedic prostheses in diverse patient populations.

Automation will change the world of work - but probably for the better

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Three common assumptions skew economists' forecasts of automation's impact on employment.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
With each passing year, parents are getting more worried about how their children will fare once it's time to take that step from school to the workforce.

They have good reason to fret. Some 17 million Americans under age 30- about one third of the under-30 population-are saddled with student debt. Many are worried about their career prospects despite having invested-heavily, in some cases-in education.

The cost of college is being hotly debated. But it's only one aspect of an even bigger issue: The automation of many entry-level roles will make it even harder for young people to gain traction in the working world.

The road from education to employment is full of more disconnects than ever. Research from the McKinsey Global Institute finds that workers from ages 18 to 34 hold almost 40%-or 14.7 million-of the US jobs that could disappear due to automation in the next decade. This creates a challenge for young people, both for those trying to make a living in the service sector and for college graduates aiming to get onto the professional track.

Workers aged 18 to 34 hold almost 40%-or 14.7 million-of the US jobs that could disappear due to automation in the next decade.

Two-thirds of the job losses for young people could occur in food, hospitality, or retail. These industries provide a crucial opportunity for more than 30 million Americans overall to bring home a paycheck-and workers under 34 years old make up half or more of the nation's wait staff, hotel receptionists, and fast food workers. These types of roles build valuable soft skills like communication, punctuality, and customer service, and they also provide that all-important first line on a resume that can propel people onward and upward. The gig economy has created some alternative options such as driving and delivery, but those types of on-demand services are scarce outside of urban areas.

One-third of the automation-related job losses for young people could occur in white-collar jobs, including entry-level roles in accounting, finance, human resources, and administration. In the legal profession, for example, AI can handle document review and case law search-not a favorite task for junior attorneys, perhaps, but one that provides valuable immersion and learning. Actuaries have traditionally spent their early years crunching numbers to assess risk. Now AI is outperforming humans at these tasks.

This means aspiring young professionals will need to enter the labor force in higher-level roles. But employers have been saying for years that too many new hires, even those with college degrees, are not work-ready.

The jobs of the future will demand even more in the way of digital skills, people skills, creativity, communication, and critical thinking.

Companies can help to address this issue by offering more paid internships and apprenticeships to prepare students to hit the ground running after graduation. The apprenticeship model, traditionally associated with skilled trades, is now being adopted by companies such as IBM, Bank of America, and investment and insurance firm The Hartford.

As technology changes, we need to change apace. The US education system has not evolved as quickly as the new world of work. It is not equipping students enough of the technical skills nor the soft skills they will need in the workforce. And there are few road maps available for the majority of young people who are not headed to college.

Back to high school

A systematic solution could be to expand student access to a wider range of post-secondary education and training programs, or blended schools that combine high school diplomas with associates degrees.

When technology took a leap forward in the early 1900s, shifting the economy from agriculture to manufacturing, the United States responded by making high school universal and compulsory.

The "high school movement" eventually made Americans the best-educated workforce in the world and set the stage for the GI Bill to boost college attendance after World War II. The wave of technological progress we're facing today calls for a similar raising of the bar for how the young generation attains education.

In nearly every field, workers will increasingly need access to some type of postsecondary training. In addition to expanding access to four-year universities, we need a wider variety of options, including community college, apprenticeships, online courses, vocational schools, and credential programs.

Some initiatives promise progress in this direction. In 2014, Tennessee became the first state to cover the cost of community college or technical training for residents-and since then, more than a dozen states and some cities, like Chicago, have followed suit. Some of these programs, such as IBM's P-Tech schools, the Dallas County Promise, and the Detroit Promise Path, provide business mentors to help young people through the job application process and academic life.

This can be critical support for participants who are the first in their families to go beyond high school. Early evidence suggests these programs have increased the share of young people attending and completing community college.

Employers have the best view on emerging jobs and the new sets of skills required. Some are working closely with community colleges, online educators, and universities to design relevant curricula to create a more robust talent pipeline. Advanced manufacturing companies in particular have made an effort to get out in front with community college partnerships to develop the specialized skills they need to fill the thousands of open positions in the US manufacturing market.

Northrop Grumman has worked with the University of Maryland to create a certificate in cybersecurity, a growing field with too few graduates. Others are participating in efforts to standardize credentials. Google has worked with Coursera, an online education provider, to create a five-course certificate to prepare workers for IT support positions. That certificate is now recognized by dozens of major employers across the US.

These are all positive steps. But now these efforts need to be scaled up. The United States needs to focus on upgrading its workforce skills-and we definitely can't afford to let the disappearance of entry-level jobs leave millions of young people adrift.

Communication is key to building relationships, and modern forms of communication allows us to stay in touch with friends and family from anywhere in the world.

Today, modern technology dominates our communication. We have a massive range of ways in which we can stay connected, but each channel of communication can influence our relationships in a different way.

Here are 10 modern communication tools to help you stay in connect with your audience:

Social Media

Social media has been around since the early days of the internet and it still dominates most of our lives. The long list of social networks continues to grow and each one is continuing to drive millions (and even billions) of users to their sites everyday which is why it is one of the most popular forms of communication.

Social media may be all about brand awareness, but it is also a great channel for communication as it enables you to post open messages for everyone to see, as well as engage with users through comments.

Whatever you use it for, it's a great first step for communication. Your messages aren't limited to your followers either, through the power of hashtags, shares, likes, retweets, hearts and other reaction your posts have no limit to the audience it can reach. We've all witnessed the power of posts going viral.
Here are 16 social media stats you can't ignore.
Social Media - Direct Message (DM)

Social media doesn't necessarily need to be completely public. Almost every social media channel offers a direct messaging option, some of those messaging services even have their own messaging app such as Facebook Messenger.

Private messaging through social networks has the same intimacy as email but tends to be less formal.

Businesses should only contact someone through Direct Message if the customer has reached out to them through that channel. However, certain direct messaging techniques are becoming a little more acceptable on some social networks such as Facebook. Facebook Messenger Bots are now seen as the norm and can help you to connect with your audience through Facebooks messaging service.
Instant Message (IM)
While some forms on Instant Message falls under social media like Facebook Messenger, there are a wide range of Instant Messaging platforms that aren't connected to social networks such as Google Hangouts and WhatsApp.

IM is a great tool for quick informal chats or group chats.
SMS Text Messaging
We are all aware of the uses of text messaging. They are short, generally informal and are a good way to communicate small bits of information that can be received and replied to at the recipient's own leisure.

These days we are almost always within arm's reach of a mobile device, so it isn't a surprise that more people are using their smartphones more than computers to search, research and communicate than ever before, making it the perfect platform to engage with your audience.

Email Marketing

The first mass email was sent back in 1978 and even back then it was highly successful. However, today it is one of the most underestimated marketing platforms around, despite being one of the most beneficial in terms of return on investment.

Email marketing can be used for many different purposes, including to push products and services, spread news, raise brand awareness or to deliver a message to the masses.

Over the years, most businesses would have accumulated a great deal of email address and in many cases, they would go to waste. With email marketing those email addresses will enable you to reconnect with old clients as well as connect with new potential clients.
Direct Email
Email is similar to direct messaging through social networks, but it is generally more formal. It is the most popular way of communicating between businesses with over 200 billion emails being sent every day.
Blogging
A blog is a conversational styled website that enables you to publish messages, news, knowledge or any other kind of information on the world wide web for everyone to see.

Most blogs include a comments section in which you can engage with those likeminded people that are interested in your blog post. This is why it is a great platform for communication.

Voice Calling

Voice calling is even more personalised than the channels previously mentioned. The telephone or mobile phone instantly allows both parties to hear the tones and emotions of the other caller and is one of the most commonly used communication tools.
Video Chat
Video chat enables both parties to see each other, allowing you to be able to read body language and facial expressions. This form of communication isn't as popular as the voice calling but it does have its advantages.

With several video-calling apps available for free such as Apple's FaceTime, Facebook messenger, Skype and WhatsApp, video calls are definitely worth considering.
Video Marketing
Video has really taken off over the last few years with the help of social channels like YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram. It also helps that it is easier than ever to record videos with smartphones and cameras always handily available.

It's important that you get your message across in a variety of formats and video is one of the most popular ways in which you can do so as it significantly boosts engagement.
Live Web Chat

You are likely to have seen a lot of these on websites already and they can be very helpful if you are able to manage them correctly. Live web chats allow people on your website to ask you questions directly in real time without leaving your website.

You should only consider using live web chat if you can guarantee someone will always be actively using the widget. If it takes more than a few seconds to respond to someone via web chat it will reflect poorly on your business so it's best to avoid these widgets if you can't maintain the demand.
Here are the pros and cons of live web chat.
Virtual Reality

The video above shows us the potential virtual reality can have for communication. Facebook has been developing social VR for several years now and although it isn't a common way of communication yet, it has a lot of potential.

As virtual reality advances and prices for the headsets fall, VR popularity will inevitably increase. With more and more people buying VR headsets this could be the next modern form of communication to hit the masses and it may only be a few years away.

The Benefits and Risks of Digital Communication Between Teams
Featured article by Cher Zavala, Independent Technology Author
There are many different benefits that the digital age has brought to businesses. For example, there is the variety of new industries and products that have been launched since the Internet was created, and the ability to pitch and sell to customers worldwide.

However, there can also be some unique changes to this Internet age that business owners, managers, and human resources workers need to be aware of. If you and your team are like many workers across the globe these days since communication has vastly changed, in-person social interactions are few and far between. You're likely to email a colleague who is sitting just a few feet away from you, rather than going to chat in person, and probably spend half your day communicating via some sort of online tool.

While this new way of getting things done can increase productivity and allow businesses to utilize talent from around the world, it does radically affect staff management requirements. Now, more than ever, creating and strengthening a company culture is a vital key for successful teams. Read on for some of the benefits and risks of digital communication that you should plan for today.
Remote Work
Digital communication methods like email, Skype, social media, and online applications have made it possible for team members to work from wherever they happen to be located in the world at the time, as long as they have access to the Internet. This not only allows workers to have more flexible hours and the ability to conduct business from home or a coffee shop if they choose, but has also paved the way for companies to hire staff members from other countries - often at cheaper rates.

This expansion of talent pools also means that it is easier for human resources managers to bring on board the most qualified people for positions, even if they don't live in the same city or country as the firm's operating base.

There can be some downside to having teams spread across the world though. For starters, it can be difficult for managers to supervise their staff properly, as well as provide the same kind of face-to-face mentoring that can occur when working more closely together. Similarly, having your staff in different parts of the globe can result in a lack of team cohesiveness, as members often have never even met each other. In addition, if workers are having issues with a project, don't feel included, are unhappy in the role, or having any other sort of issue, this can often go unnoticed.
New Ways of Communicating
When examining the positive results of online communication tools, it's easy to see how they make it easy for workers to chat freely and at any time of the day or night at a low cost. This means that questions can be asked and answered more quickly than in the past, and vital business information discovered in a flash.

Quicker response times regularly leads to increases in productivity, responsiveness, profits, conversions and the like. As well, affordable credit-card processing is now possible for every sector and country, and teams can work together without having ever met.

Another benefit is that digital communication allows users to pause before they send emails and other messages. This means that information can be edited, and the best version of a response sent. This makes communication clearer, more concise, more polished, and more detailed.

Also, this ability to stop and think before responding also allows people to calm down before sending faulty, argumentative, or even downright rude messages if a misunderstanding occurs or tempers flare. Emails and the like also provide workers with a digital record of what was written, in case it is needed as a reference point at a later date.

Some potential risks do stem from using online communication tools all the time however. A common issue that human resources managers are being faced with these days is that of workers burning out. Since team members have the ability to check and reply to emails, and work on projects at all hours, they often don't end up having enough down time. This can lead to a lack of sleep, an increase in stress levels, and decreased productivity, as well as burn out in the long run.

As well, it's important to remember that tone and body language cues cannot typically be picked up when reading digital messages. This makes it much easier for misunderstandings to occur, and can lead to team disagreements plus information not being passed on correctly.

Furthermore, due to the "sound bite" nature of regular texts, emails, and social media updates, many people send frequent short messages, rather than having in-depth conversions with each other. This can prohibit teams from picking up on the complexity or gravity of situations, as well as keep chats at a surface level only, with no deeper levels of meaning.

CRISPR technology offers the promise to cure any human genetic disease with gene editing; which one will be the first?
CRISPR is short for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats. The term makes reference to a series of repetitive patterns found in the DNA of bacteria that form the basis of a primitive immune system, defending them from viral invaders by cutting their DNA.

Using this natural process as a basis, scientists developed a gene-editing tool called CRISPR/Cas that can cut a specific DNA sequence by simply providing it with an RNA template of the target sequence. This allows scientists to add, delete or replace elements within the target DNA sequence.

This system represented a big leap from previous gene-editing technologies, which required designing and making a custom DNA-cutting enzyme for each target sequence rather than simply providing an RNA guide, which is much simpler to synthesize.

Here is a list of some of the first diseases that scientists are tackling using CRISPR/Cas technology, testing its possibilities and limits as a medical tool.

Cancer

Cancer is a complex, multifactorial disease, and a cure remains elusive. There are hundreds of different types of cancer, each with a unique mutation signature. CRISPR technology is a game-changer for cancer research and treatment as it can be used for many things, including screening for cancer drivers, identifying genes and proteins that can be targeted by cancer drugs, cancer diagnostics, and as a treatment.

China has spearheaded the first in-human clinical trials using CRISPR/Cas9 as a cancer treatment. The study tested the use of CRISPR to modify immune T cells extracted from a patient with late-stage lung cancer. The gene-editing technology was used to remove the gene that encodes for a protein called PD-1 that some tumor cells can bind to to block the immune response against cancer. This protein, found on the surface of immune cells, is the target of some cancer drugs termed checkpoint inhibitors .

Blood disorders

The blood disorders beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease, which affect oxygen transport in the blood, are the target of a CRISPR treatment being developed by CRISPR Therapeutics and its partner Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

In September, exa-cel was granted a rolling review by the U.S. FDA as a potential one-time treatment for sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. This follows the granting of Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy, Fast Track, Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations. If approved, exa-cel will become the first CRISPR therapy to achieve regulatory approval for a genetic disease. Vertex will also submit a biologics licensing application for exa-cel in November and a marketing application to the European Medicines Agency by the end of the year.

Hemophilia is another blood disorder that CRISPR technology could tackle, although development is still at the preclinical stage. In 2020, Intellia Therapeutics and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals teamed up to pursue the development of hemophilia A and B CRISPR/Cas9-based treatments.

Blindness

Many hereditary forms of blindness are caused by a specific genetic mutation, making it easy to use CRISPR/Cas9 to treat it by targeting and modifying a single gene. In addition, the activity of the immune system is limited in the eye, which can circumvent any problems related to the body rejecting the treatment.

The company Editas Medicine is working on a CRISPR therapy for Leber congenital amaurosis, the most common cause of inherited childhood blindness, for which there is currently no treatment. The treatment aims to use CRISPR to restore the function of light-sensitive cells before losing sight completely by fixing the most common genetic mutation behind the disease.

In 2020, the company started a phase 1/2 trial, which was the first trial to test an in vivo CRISPR treatment; this is when gene editing is performed directly inside the patient's body rather than on cells extracted from their body. The treatment showed positive safety data in adults, and earlier this year, Editas Medicine dosed the first pediatric patient.

AIDS

There are several ways CRISPR could help us in the fight against AIDS. One is using CRISPR to cut the viral DNA that the HIV virus inserts within the DNA of immune cells. This approach could be used to attack the virus in its hidden, inactive form, which is what makes it impossible for most therapies to completely get rid of the virus.

In September, the first ever individual with HIV was dosed with a CRISPR-based gene-editing therapy in a phase 1/2 trial led by Excision Biotherapeutics and researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University in Philadelphia.

Cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes severe respiratory problems. Although there are treatments available to deal with the symptoms, the life expectancy is only around 40 years. Cystic fibrosis can be caused by multiple different mutations in the target gene - over 700 of which have been identified - making it difficult to develop a drug for each mutation. With CRISPR technology, mutations that cause cystic fibrosis can be individually edited.

In 2020, researchers in the Netherlands used base editing to repair mutations in vitro in the cells of people with cystic fibrosis without creating damage elsewhere in their genetic code. In addition, companies such as Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics have plans to develop treatments for cystic fibrosis using CRISPR systems. However, these therapies still remain in the research phase.

Muscular dystrophy

Duchenne's muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the gene, which encodes for a protein necessary for the contraction of muscles. Children born with this disease suffer progressive muscle degeneration, and existing treatments are limited to a fraction of patients with the condition.

In July, the U.S. FDA granted permission for one patient to receive a tailor-made CRISPR-based gene therapy for their particular mutation - this mutation is so rare that the therapy will likely only be used once. The Boston non-profit Cure Rare Disease will initiate the clinical trial later this year, which will mark several milestones, including the first ever personalized CRISPR therapy and the first clinical trial to implement any form of gene editing for muscular dystrophy treatment.

Huntington's disease

Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative condition with a strong genetic component. The disease is caused by an abnormal repetition of a certain DNA sequence within the huntingtin gene. The higher the number of copies, the earlier the disease will manifest itself.

Treating Huntington's could be tricky, as any off-target effects of CRISPR in the brain could have very dangerous consequences. To reduce the risk, scientists are looking at ways to tweak the genome-editing tool to make it safer.

In 2018, researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia revealed a version of CRISPR/Cas9 that includes a self-destruct button . A group of Polish researchers opted instead for pairing CRISPR/Cas9 with an enzyme called nickase to make the gene editing more precise .

COVID-19

For instance, scientists at Stanford University have developed a method to program a version of the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR/Cas13a to cut and destroy the genetic material of the virus behind COVID-19 to stop it from infecting lung cells. This approach, termed PAC-MAN , was shown to reduce the amount of virus in solution by more than 90 percent.

The future of CRISPR technology

One of the biggest challenges to turn this research into real cures is the many unknowns regarding the potential risks of CRISPR therapy. Some scientists are concerned about possible off-target effects as well as immune reactions to the gene-editing tool. But as research progresses, scientists are proposing and testing a wide range of approaches to tweak and improve CRISPR in order to increase its efficacy and safety.

Hopes are high that CRISPR/Cas9 technology will soon provide a way to target and destroy complex diseases such as cancer and AIDS, and even target genes associated with mental illnesses.

Wie schreibe ich einen letter to the editor?

Aufbau: letter to the editor

Der Aufbau eines Leserbriefs folgt immer einem bestimmtem Aufbau, den du dir in der folgenden Darstellung ansehen kannst:

Wie du in der Abbildung erkennen kannst, hat ein Leserbrief Eigenschaften eines Briefs. Oben rechts in der Ecke steht das Datum. Außerdem formulierst du eine Anrede, die in einem letter to the editor üblicherweise Dear Sir or Madame lautet. Danach stellst du einen Bezug zum Artikel her, auf den du dich beziehst. Dabei nennst du den Titel, das Hauptthema, die Quelle und eventuell das Erscheinungsdatum des Zeitungsartikels.

Den Hauptteil leitest du ein, indem du deinen Standpunkt in einem Satz klar zusammenfasst. Dort kannst du angeben, ob du der Meinung des Autors zustimmst oder nicht. Du kannst außerdem verdeutlichen, wenn du einen wichtigen Aspekt ergänzen oder eine andere Sichtweise einbringen möchtest. Darauf folgen die Argumente, die deinen Standpunkt unterstützen. Diese solltest du gut strukturiert darstellen, wobei dir eventuell folgende Satzanfänge helfen können. Wenn möglich, stütze deine Argumente mit Beispielen, sodass deine Argumentation überzeugender wird.
