The sectionalism of the tariff bill. Speech of Hon. John L. McLaurin, of South Carolina, in the Senate of the United States

This document contains a speech by John L. McLaurin, representative of South Carolina. Sections of the speech include: sectionalism exposed, the bill might have been defeated, the south plundered of its rights, not a protectionist, fraudulent demands of New England, Hon. Randolph Tucker, Hon. W.R. Morrison, and Hon. R.Q. Mills strangers to the doctrine in 1882, a tariff for revenue against the doctrine of free raw material, don’t want Cleveland’s interpretation, contest of schedules, and my remedy.

Results of computer assisted navigation in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA): comparison with the conventional method

The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the clinical and radiographic results after TKA (PFC, DePuy), performed either by computer assisted navigation (CAS, Brainlab, Johnson&Johnson) or by conventional means. Material and methods: Between May and December 2006 we reviewed 36 conventional TKA performed between 2002 and 2003 (group A) and 37 navigated TKA performed between 2005 and 2006 (group B) by the same experienced surgeon. The mean age in group A was 74 years (range 62-90) and 73 (range 58-85) in group B with a similar age distribution. The preoperative mechanical axes in group A ranged from -13° varus to +13° valgus (mean absolute deviation 6.83°, SD 3.86), in group B from -13° to +16° (mean absolute deviation 5.35, SD 4.29). Patients with a previous tibial osteotomy or revision arthroplasty were excluded from the study. Examination was done by an experienced orthopedic resident independent of the surgeon. All patients had pre- and postoperative long standing radiographs. The IKSS and the WOMAC were utilized to determine the clinical outcome. Patient's degree of satisfaction was assessed on a visual analogous scale (VAS). Results: 32 of the 37 navigated TKAs (86,5%) showed a postoperative mechanical axis within the limits of 3 degrees of valgus or varus deviation compared to only 24 (66%) of the 36 standard TKAs. This difference was significant (p = 0.045). The mean absolute deviation from neutral axis was 3.00° (range -5° to +9°, SD: 1.75) in group A in comparison to 1.54° (range -5° to +4°, SD: 1.41) in group B with a highly significant difference (p = 0.000). Furthermore, both groups showed a significant postoperative improvement of their mean IKSS-values (group A: 89 preoperative to 169 postoperative, group B 88 to 176) without a significant difference between the two groups. Neither the WOMAC nor the patient's degree of satisfaction - as assessed by VAS - showed significant differences. Operation time was significantly higher in group B (mean 119.9 min.) than in group A (mean 99.6 min., p <0.000). Conclusion: Our study showed consistent significant improvement of postoperative frontal alignment in TKA by computer assisted navigation (CAS) compared to standard methods, even in the hands of a surgeon well experienced in standard TKA implantation. However, the follow-up time of this study was not long enough to judge differences in clinical outcome. Thus, the relevance of computer navigation for clinical outcome and survival of TKA remains to be proved in long term studies to justify the longer operation time. References 1 Stulberg SD.

Comportamiento alimentario de los principales recursos pelágicos peruanos en verano y comienzos de otoño 1997

Se han analizado 626 contenidos estomacales de "anchoveta peruana" Engraulis ringes, 251 de "caballa" Scomber japonicus peruanus y 206 de "jurel" Trachurus picturatus murphyi, colectados entre lo 5°12 ' a 18°17 'S durante el verano de 1997. El alimento de la anchoveta estuvo compuesto por diatomeas, silicoflagelados, dinoflagelados, tintínidos, copépodos, entre los más importantes. La caballa y el jurel se alimentaron de crustáceos planctónicos destacando los eufáusidos; en la caballa, además e presentaron peces de las familias Engraulidae y Myctophidae. Usando el software MAXIMS se ha calculado la ración diaria de alimentación de la anchoveta en 0,4391 g.dia-1. Respecto a la caballa y al jurel se vienen realizando las primeras observaciones con este software, habiéndose determinado las raciones en 6,4452 g.dia-1 y 2,9129 g.dia-1, respectivamente. La similaridad alimentaria entre los mismos fue calculada utilizando el Índice de JACCARD que permitió observar diferencias sólo en la utilización del ítem anchoveta siendo la caballa la única que la consumió. En líneas generales la composición alimentaria observada corresponde a patrones e años normales.

Distribución, concentración y biomasa de los principales recursos pelágicos durante el verano de 1996. Crucero BIC SNP-1 9602-04

El Crucero 9602-04 se realizó a bordo del BIC SNP-1, del 07 de febrero al 05 de abril de 1996 comprendiendo toda el área de litoral peruano desde la frontera sur (18°17 'S) hasta la frontera norte (03°36 'S) y hasta las 120 mn, con el propósito de evaluar los recursos pelágicos. Se presentan los estimados de biomasa y distribución de los principales recursos pelágicos: anchoveta (Engraulis ringens), sardina (Sardinops sagax sagax), jurel (Trachurus picturatus murphyi) y caballa (Scomber japonicus peruanus). Los estimados de biomasa fueron los siguientes: anchoveta 6,69 x 106 t (16,17%),sardina 2,41 x 106 t (22,62%), jurel 3,08 x 106 t (31,23%) y caballa 2,91 x 106 t (21,4%)
