The Effects of Complete Decongestive Physical Therapy Treatment On Edema Reduction, Quality of Life, and Functional Ability of Persons with Upper Extremity Lymphedema

Background: There is paucity of clinical data regarding the effect of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) on edema reduction, and quality of life changes that accompany the increase in lymphedema. Purpose: The basis of our study was to investigate the effectiveness of CDP treatment on edema reduction, functional ability, quality of life, pain level, and grip strength. Methods: Limb volumes, grip strength, pain, quality of life, and functional ability were recorded pre‐ and posttreatment. Data were analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The results of the study demonstrated statistically significant reduction in edema and pain, and an increase in mean grip strength and quality of life. No statistically significant change was noted in functional ability. Conclusions: In a clinical sample of postmastectomy patients with axillary node dissection, CDT treatment seems to reduce edema, improve quality of life, decrease pain, and increase grip strength. These findings from a small consecutive sample should serve as an impetus for further studies.
The Gray-Zone Concept, Suboptimal Response to Imatinib, Shall be Removed from the ELN-CML Recommendations

European LeukemiaNet (ELN) expert panel updated the 2006 CML management recommendations in Blood with minor modifications in Journal of Clinical Oncology. The most important criticism about this update is the preservation of the ambiguous concept “suboptimal response to imatinib”. This gray-zone concept has been generated without long-term follow-up data on imatinib and in the absence of second generation TKIs in 2006. Latest evidences indicated that the outcome of “imatinibsuboptimal responders” is very similar and as worse as “imatinib-failure patients”. Furthermore, in the Table 7, “Continue imatinib same dose; or test high dose imatinib. ” was also recommended as a treatment for “imatinib-suboptimal responders”. High dose imatinib, which had inferior efficacy when compared to dasatinib and nilotinib, is not superior to standard dose imatinib too. Removal of the misleading concept “suboptimal response to imatinib” could also simplify Table 6 of the manuscript. Adherences of physicians and patients to previous ELN-CML recommendations are not so high. Simplification of recommendations may also increase the compliances and the response to treatment.
Weather effects on the Amsterdam stock exchange

This paper examines the relationship between the weather in the Netherlands and the returns on three indices of the Amsterdam Euronext stock exchange: AEX, AMX, and AScX. The research uses daily data from March 3rd, 2015 to May 9th, 2019, and incorporates normality tests, correlation analyses, OLS regressions, and a GARCH model. Overall, the largest AEX index did not demonstrate significant weather effects even after controlling for other factors such as macroeconomic environment, market sentiment, and foreign weather. The AMX and AScX indices exhibit relatively weak weather effects. AMX is significantly and negatively correlated to the mean windspeed in the Netherlands, and AScX has a significant positive correlation with the mean sea level pressure in the Netherlands. Nevertheless, new research can be done about weather variable selection and further explanatory variable selection.
Developing an expressive writing intervention for people with chronic fatigue syndrome

Expressive writing has been shown to improve health outcomes in a variety of populations, from healthy college students to people with rheumatoid arthritis. A number of hypotheses have been suggested to account for these beneficial effects, but the precise mechanism of action underlying expressive writing has yet to be established. Positive outcomes obtained in studies with clinical populations, have led to the question of whether expressive writing could be helpful for people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). This study aimed to pilot an expressive writing intervention for people with CFS and to explore their experience of the intervention. It aimed to investigate the feasibility, acceptability and perceived helpfulness of the intervention, and attempted to shed light on its possible mechanism of action. Nine patients were recruited from a specialist CFS clinic. They were asked to write about an emotionally upsetting or traumatic experience, for twenty minutes, once a week, for four consecutive weeks. Following the expressive writing intervention, they participated in a semi-structured interview to explore their experience. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the transcribed interviews. Expressive writing was found to be both feasible and acceptable to the people with CFS in this study. Participants reported that overall the home-based writing intervention had been helpful and had provided them with a possible coping strategy for the future. They articulated how they thought the writing had made a difference and from this three possible mechanisms of action were proposed, including emotional expression, behavioural activation and cognitive organisation. These findings lend support to the notion that there may be more than one mechanism of action underlying the beneficial effects of writing.
EVALUATION OF TRMM-3B42V7 AND PERSIANN-CDR DAILY-PRECIPITATION PRODUCTS FOR THE SOUTHERN SLOPES OF ALBORZ MOUNTAINS, IRAN

Abstract. The density of rain gauges in many regions is lower than standard. Therefore, there are no precise estimates of precipitation in such regions. Today the use of satellite data to overcome this deficiency is increasing day to day. Unfortunately, the results from different satellite products also show a significant difference. Hence, their evaluation and validation are very important. The main objective of this study is to investigate the accuracy of the daily precipitation data of TRMM-3B42 V7 and PERSIANN-CDR satellites under a case study in the southern slopes of Alborz mountains, Iran. For this purpose, satellite precipitation data were compared with ground measured precipitation data of 12 synoptic stations over a 15- year period. The statistical criteria of MAE, RMSE, and Bias were used to assess error and the statistical indices of POD, FAR, and CSI was used to evaluate the recognition rate of occurrence or non-occurrence of precipitation. The results showed that there is a low correlation between satellite precipitation data and ground measured precipitation data, and the lowest and the highest values of correlation coefficient are from 0.228 to 0.402 for TRMM and from 0.047 to 0.427 for PERSIANN, respectively. However, there is a theoretical consensus on other assessment parameters, so that TRMM data is preferable in terms of the amount of data bias and the False Alarm Ratio (FAR) and PERSIANN data is superior in terms of RMSE, POD, and CSI. Also, it seems that in the study region, both of TRMM and PERSIANN have overestimated the number of daily precipitation events, so that the number of daily precipitation events was estimated about 125% and 200% of ground stations by TRMM and PERSIANN, respectively.
Composition patterns of ornamental flora in the Czech Republic

Ornamental plants are an important component of urban floras and a significant source of alien plant invasions to the surrounding landscapes. We studied ornamental flora across 174 settlements in the Czech Republic, Central Europe. The aims of the study were to (i) identify clusters of sites that are defined as distinctive groups of ornamental taxa reflecting environmental or socioeconomic factors and (ii) apply the classification approach which is traditionally used for spontaneous vegetation in order to evaluate the potential of different settlement types to act as source sites of invasive species. The inventories were classified in a similar manner that is generally applied to spontaneous vegetation using the COCKTAIL method. Diagnostic taxa were classified in a repeatable manner into 17 species groups, forming five distinctive clusters with ~70% of sites attributed to one cluster. The species pools of the clusters differed in their representation of species with native or alien status and different life forms. The following clusters were distinguished, based on the prevailing type of settlement: (1) old villas neighbourhoods of towns, (2) upland settlements, (3) modern neighbourhoods, (4) old rustic settlements and (5) modern rustic settlements. Similar to spontaneous vegetation, the classification of ornamental flora reflects both basic natural gradients (i.e. altitude) and man-made factors (i.e. the preferences for certain plants and associated management practices). Alien taxa associated with modern neighbourhoods are characterised by a relatively higher invasion potential than those from, for example, old rustic settlements. This is especially true for woody species which can spread in ruderal habitats as a result of urban sprawl. Our results showed that the classification method, commonly used to analyse vegetation data, can also be applied to ornamental flora.
SOIL ORGANIC CONTENT OF STANDS OF DIFFERENT AGES IN A SUBTROPICAL CHIR PINE (PINUS ROXBURGHII) FOREST OF PAKISTAN

Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in forest ecosystems plays a major role in the global carbon cycle. Soil carbon across an age sequence may vary of Chir pine forest. In this study, based on the silvicultural shelterwood management system, forest area was classified into stands of three different age groups, including young stand, mature stand, and over-mature stand. Soil carbon density was assessed in each stand at three depths (0-20, 20-40, and 40-60 cm) by Walkley Black method. The results showed that SOC was higher in different stand ages at a depth of 0-20 cm as compared to the 20-40, and 40-60 cm depth. Altogether, the average potential of soil carbon density at a depth of 0-60 cm in young, mature and over-mature stand ages of Chir Pine forest was 70.96 (Mg C ha), 68.96 (Mg C ha) and 61.02 (Mg C ha), respectively. The result indicates that soil carbon stock decreases with increasing forest stand ages. The results confirm that-current management operations such as cutting, thinning, tending, may affect the soil carbon. Moreover, we recommended the regular periodic survey of soil and permanent sample plot establishment is necessary for the accurate soil carbon measurement in different stand ages of Chir pine forest.
Recommendations for a more effective male batterer intervention program due to the minimal effects these programs have on batterers' attitudes and behaviors regarding violence

Recommendations for a More Effective Male Batterer Intervention Program Due to the Minimal Effects These Programs Have on Batterers’ Attitudes and Behaviors Regarding Violence Ivy F. Scholfield Under the Supervision of Dr. Mike Klemp-North Statement of the Problem Domestic violence is a very serious social problem, which until more recent years, has not been given the appropriate attention it has required. According to the National Network to End Domestic Violence (n.d.) “Nearly one in every four women are beaten or raped by a partner during adulthood” (section 1). While batterer intervention programs were created to help end the violence of those who perpetrate abuse upon their partners, studies show that these programs have little to no affect on batterers. According to the National Institute of Justice (2003), “Batterer intervention programs do not change batterers’ attitudes and may only have minor effects on behavior, according to these studies” (about this report section, para. 2). This is due, in part, to not truly understanding what domestic violence is, what causes an individual to become a batterer, the characteristics and individual circumstances of a batterer, and what the necessary approaches should be when attempting to intervene and help decrease the high rates of domestic violence that exist today. Furthermore, according to NNEDV (n.d.), “Three women are killed by a current or former intimate partner each day in America, on average” (section 1). With statistics like these, there is an immediate need to further evaluate BIPs to determine what parts are successful in preventing more violent acts as mentioned above. While there have been studies conducted to determine the effectiveness of these batterer programs, there is still a need to
Technical Efficiency of Red Pepper Production: The Case of Dalocha, Southern Ethiopia

Increasing the productivity of red pepper is important to meet the need of ever increasing population. However, farmers faced the problem of productivity due to the lack of knowledge on how to maximize level of output at a given level of inputs. The objective of this study was to assess the technical efficiency of red pepper production in Dalocha district of southern Ethiopia. Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier model was used to estimate the technical efficiency and its determinants in red pepper production. Maximum likelihood estimation results showed that increasing input variables (oxen power, seed, labor and fertilizer) would increase yield of red pepper. The discrepancy ratio,γ, which measures the relative deviation of output from the frontier level due to inefficiency was about 85 percent indicating that about 85% of variation in red pepper yield among the farmers was attributed to technical inefficiency effects. The mean technical efficiency of farmers was about 80%. The implication is that, there is an opportunity to improve technical efficiency among farmers on average by 20% through efficient use of inputs. Thus, it is possible to improve technical efficiency through utilizing available inputs wisely.
COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTS OF NIGELLA SATIVA OIL AND LASER ON TREATMENTS ON EXPERIMENTAL WOUND HEALING IN RATS

Objective:The study investigated the influences of treatment with Nigella sativa oil and laser therapy on wound healing in rats. The period of the inflammatory phase reduced through both laser and N. sativa oil actions; though, the laser was more effective than N. sativa oil, with more significant results. Methods: We used 52 healthy rats male and divided the rats randomly into three groups. The treatment protocols used included N. sativa oil in the first group, laser in the second group, and control in the third group. In all groups, we performed histopathologic evaluations on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days after surgery. Results: The proliferation phase of each treatment indicated an increase in the number of fibroblasts, as well as stimulation of collagen formation and synthesis.Positive results on the inflammatory, proliferation, and maturation phases for both treatments of wound healing. Conclusion:Laser treatment was more effective than N. sativa oil in the first two phases of wound healing.

A Preliminary Study Investigating Functional Movement Screen Test Scores in Novice and Advanced Female Show Jumping Riders

9 The functional movement screen (FMS) is an easily administered and non-invasive tool to identify areas 10 of weakness and asymmetry during specific exercises. FMS is a common method of athlete screening in 11 many sports and is used to ascertain injury risk, but has to be used within an equestrian population. The 12 aim of this study was establish FMS scores for Novice and Advanced Female Show Jumping Riders, to 13 inform a normative data set of FMS scores in horse riders in the future. 14 Twenty-two female show jumping horse riders (mean age 21.5 yrs.). Twelve riders competing at 80cm 15 and below were the ‘novice’ group and ten riders in the ‘advanced’ group competing at 125cm, were 16 assessed based on their performance on a 7-point FMS (deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder 17 mobility, active straight leg raise, trunk stability and rotary stability). The mean composite FMS scores 18 (± s.d.) for the novice rider group was 12.08 ± 2.7 and for the advanced riders was 14.08 ± 1.77. There 19 was a statistical significant difference in median FMS composite scores between the novice show 20 jumping rider and advanced show jumping rider groups (Mann-Whitney U test, p=0.004). One hundred 21 percent of novice show jumping riders and 50% of advanced show jumping riders scored ≤14, indicating 22 that a novice rider is 2 times (O.R.) more likely to be at increased risk of injury compared to advanced 23
The implicit association test – A method to create awareness on diversity and inclusion?

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) has become an increasingly popular method to make people aware of their unconscious biases, especially on diversity and inclusion (D&I) issues within companies. However, the literature researching whether this is an effective method, is limited. The aim of this research is therefore, to create a design for companies to assess whether the IAT can be used to create awareness for D&I, within their organization. The research question central in this study is: Does completing an IAT on discrimination have an effect on a person’s awareness and behavior towards D&I? A newly developed design was tested as a pilot at Microsoft the Netherlands. The data generated from this design is then analyzed in three ways: overall analysis, single question analyses and principal factor analysis. In this pilot experiment, all three analyses methods showed no significant difference in awareness related to D&I between the subjects that took the IAT, compared to the subjects that did not. Nevertheless, the results are subject to a low sample size and sample variety. As a result, the contribution of this paper is the design of the conducted pilot experiment, and a proposed quantitative analysis for the gathered data.

X-Linked Lissencephaly with Absent Corpus Callosum and Ambiguous Genitalia: A Case Report

Background: X-linked lissencephaly with ambiguous genitalia (XLAG) is a recently described genetic disorder, in which patients present with lissencephaly, agenesis of the corpus callosum, refractory epilepsy of neonatal onset, acquired microcephaly, and male genotype with ambiguous genitalia. XLAG is responsible for a severe neurological disorder of neonatal onset in boys. A gyration defect consisting of anterior pachygyria and posterior agyria with a moderately thickened brain cortex, dysplastic basal ganglia, and complete agenesis of the corpus callosum are consistently found on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Females related to affected boys may have epilepsy and mental retardation or display agenesis of corpus collosum on MRI. These findings can indicate an X-linked semi-dominant inheritance. Case presentation: The patient was a one-day-old term neonate admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit due to refractory seizure. He was the second child of the family, born to non-consanguineous and healthy parents. His midface was slightly hypoplastic with long and smooth philtrum; the neonate had ambiguous genitalia, as well. Hormonal investigation demonstrated elevated serum 17OH-progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and testosterone levels. Chromosomal analysis showed a normal male karyotype (46, XY). Brain computed tomography scan showed a typical pattern of lissencephaly with a posterior-to-anterior gradient of severity consisting of frontal pachygyria, posterior agyria, and absence of corpus collosum
Oral health status of patients with special needs from a rehabilitation association in Curitiba (PR, Brazil)

Introduction: Patients with special needs commonly show significant systemic and oral diseases. Objective: We carried out a survey on the oral health status from individuals with special needs of Associacao Paranaense de Reabilitacao (APR), in Curitiba, PR, Brazil. Material and methods: Clinical oral examination was performed and a specific questionnaire was applied to 87 individuals, aged from 5 to 14 years-old. Results: The mean age average was 9 yearsold, and 57.5% were males. The mean DMFT was 1.4, and 54% of the sample showed DMFT = zero. The oral health status from the studied sample was similar to that found in the same age group of the general population. Conclusion: We indicate that strategies for controlling oral health diseases tailored for this group must be stimulated, once the vulnerability is present.
