Using tetracyclines to treat osteoporotic/osteopenic bone loss: From the basic science laboratory to the clinic

The B2 glenoid is defined by Walch et al. as a glenoid that is biconcave with posterior erosion accompanied by posterior humeral head subluxation. This creates unique challenges for the treating orthopedic surgeon. Bone loss, excessive retroversion, and posterior subluxation make anatomic shoulder arthroplasty in this setting fraught with increased complications, including instability, glenoid component loosening, and poor clinical outcomes. Many techniques have been devised to treat the arthritic shoulder with a B2 glenoid, including hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty using eccentric reaming, bone grafting and custom implantation, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. In this review, we will focus on anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty using augmented glenoid implants to treat the B2 glenoid. Indications, clinical results, and basic science analyses of augmented anatomic glenoids are also discussed.

8Th Graders

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Jigsaw-I model of cooperative learning (CL) on achievement of basic science process skills of 8th graders while working in science laboratory. An experimental study using randomized pretest posttest control group design was conducted. Sixty four male students were randomly selected from two intact 8th grade classes, 32 students from each class. Each group of thirty two students was further randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Experimental group performed the experiments in science laboratory by using Jigsaw-I (JI) whereas control group performed the same experiments through traditional group work (TGW). “Basic Science Process Skills Laboratory Achievement-Tests (BSPSLAT-I & II)”were used as pre and post- tests to collect the data. The data was analyzed through independent sample t-test and ANOVA. The results showed significantly higher achievement of basic science process skills in favor of Jigsaw-I as compared to traditional group work. Moreover Jigsaw-I proved to be a better science laboratory technique both for low and medium achievers to gain basic science process skills. This study has implications for elementary science teachers to apply Jigsaw-I while science laboratory work for students’ higher achievement in basic science process skills
