Insufficiency fracture of the distal radius after Sauvé-Kapandji procedure in a rheumatoid arthritis patient: a case report and literature review

Abstract We report one case and review two reports of insufficiency fracture of the distal radius after the Sauvé-Kapandji (S-K) procedure in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A 63-year-old woman had been diagnosed with RA at 37 years old, and had been treated with methotrexate and etanercept. She had undergone S-K procedure of the right wrist combined with tendon graft, due to tendon rupture. Although she had not experienced any recent trauma, she presented with right forearm pain and increased swelling 4 months postoperatively. Radiographs showed fracture of the radius at the level of the excision osteotomy of the distal ulna. Bone density was 61% of the young adult mean. We immobilized the forearm in a long arm cast and administered teriparatide. The fracture healed within another 5 months. Despite angulation deformity, she acquired full supination and pronation after the S-K procedure. This case represents the first description of presentation with distal radius fracture after the S-K procedure treated by teriparatide. We considered repeated loading and rotation force without ulnar support, osteoporotic bone, and high activities of daily living under biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drug use as contributory factors. Only two other cases of this fracture have been reported recently. Although those cases underwent plate fixation for fracture, our case was healed using conservative therapy with teriparatide.

Introduction Healthcare professionals can use a variety of methods to learn about infectious diseases. Two commonly used methods include e-learning and clinical decision support. BMJ Learning is the e-learning provider of the BMJ. BMJ Best Practice is the clinical decision support tool of the BMJ. In this paper, we describe an analysis of the utility of these resources in helping healthcare professionals to learn and improve their practice in the field of infectious diseases. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals who are users of BMJ Learning and BMJ Best Practice to find out the utility of the resources in education and in improving clinical care in the field of infectious diseases. Detailed field notes were taken during the interviews. Notes were analysed using thematic analysis. Results The learners saw the value in the e-learning and clinical decision support resources as a means of helping them put their learning into practice. The context of use was important to many learners. The quality of the resources was also important. Many of the learners were teachers and were keen to use the resources in their teaching sessions. Although the majority of the comments were positive, some learners had suggestions on what could be improved. Conclusions The learners are keen to use these resources to improve their clinical practice. To do this, they need high-quality Walsh K MedEdPublish https://doi.org/10.15694/mep.2018. 0000059.1 Page | 2 resources that will work in their specific context or working environment and that will give them an answer quickly.
Activity of facial and swallowing muscles during water and sour bolus deglutition in healthy adult humans

There are very close relationships among deglutition, taste sensations, and facial expressions in humans. However, the associations among mimicking, swallowing, and the suprahyoid/submental muscle group (SM) during deglutition events have yet to be investigated using electrophysiological techniques to elucidate taste sensation and facial expression further. Thus, this study used surface EMG to evaluate synchronous electromyography activity in the facial and swallowing muscles during the swallowing of water and sour boluses in 20 normal healthy adults. All participants were instructed to swallow four bolus volumes (5, 10, 15, and 20 ml) each of a water bolus and a sour bolus (lemon juice) in a neutral head position. EMG recordings were obtained from the orbicularis oculi (OC; a mimic muscle), orbicularis oris (OR; a mimic and swallowing muscle), and SM (deglutition muscles) to determine whether these muscles were synchronously activated during voluntary oropharyngeal swallowing. The mimic (OC and OR) and swallowing muscles (SM) were synchronously activated in more than 90% of participants during water swallowing. Swallowing lemon juice increased the number of spontaneous swallows after the first deglutition and significantly shortened the duration of a single swallowing apnea. The present findings indicate that both taste and the intraoral trigeminal afferents of water and sour boluses excite facial neurons via the nucleus tractus solitarius and/or a central pattern generator. Additionally, sour boluses produced stronger and safer oropharyngeal swallowing in conjunction with increases in facial expressions due to the activation of facial mimic muscles.
Comparison of the pass skill between professional and u-15 futsal players under different organization contexts

Purpose. the paper aimed to compare the performance related to passing among the categories of professional and U-15 futsal players, in open and closed contexts. Methods. In total, 25 athletes were evaluated in 2 tests, namely open and closed contexts. the former aimed to observe the complexity of in-game execution in a dynamic and unpredictable mode, while the closed test simulated a closed and predictable task through the isolated execution of the pass. to compare the groups, the Student’s t and Mann-Whitney tests were used, respectively, with the level of significance at p < 0.05. Results. there were significant differences across categories in the performance related to the open pass skill (p < 0.001). there were no significant differences in the closed pass context (p = 0.414). Conclusions. Only the open context test identified differences in performance between categories, with the superiority of professional players.

Deleterious effect of proton pump inhibitors on the disease course of cirrhosis

Objectives Proton pump inhibitors(PPIs) are widely prescribed to patients with liver cirrhosis. We hypothesized that long-standing PPI use is associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP) and accelerated development of disease-specific complications and liver-related death. Methods A 5-year follow-up observational cohort study assessed the impact of long-standing PPI use on the clinical course of cirrhosis in a large referral patient cohort. Three hundred fifty patients with cirrhosis (alcohol:69.1%, Child-Pugh stage A/B/C:206/108/36) were assigned to two groups: regular PPI users (n=196) and nonusers (n=154). Occurrence of SBP, decompensation events (ascites, hepatic encephalopathy and variceal bleeding), and liver-related death were assessed. Results Regular PPI use was associated with an increased cumulative probability of SBP compared to nonusers [55% vs. 24.8%, hazard ratio(HR):4.25; P=0.05], in patients without previous SBP episode (n=84). A similar association was found between regular PPI use and decompensation events. The risk of the development of a first decompensation was higher in regular PPI users compared with nonusers, in patients with compensated clinical stage at enrollment (HR: 2.81, P= 0.008, n=146). The risk of liver-related death was also significantly increased among regular PPI users (P<0.001). In multivariate Cox-regression analysis, regular PPI use (HR:2.81, P=0.003) and MELD score (HR:1.21, P<0.001) was an independent predictor of mortality. Conclusion In the present follow-up cohort study, long-term PPI use was associated with the development of SBP and a progressive disease course in patients with cirrhosis that may have been caused by enhanced pathologic bacterial translocation, accelerated development of bacterial translocation-dependent disease-specific complications, and liver-related death.

Towards Personalized Task-Oriented Worker Recruitment in Mobile Crowdsensing

Worker recruitment in mobile crowdsensing systems aims to recruit the most suitable users to perform tasks with high quality and in real-time. Many worker recruitment or task matching mechanisms have been proposed, especially for crowdsourcing platforms, where content information of tasks from the implicit feedback of workers’ attendance is extensively exploited to help workers find preferred tasks efficiently. Different from traditional crowdsourcing systems, tasks in mobile crowdsensing systems are usually time-sensitive and location-dependent which also play a crucial role in worker recruitment. However, these context information have not been effectively explored for user recruitment in mobile crowdsensing systems. In this paper, we propose a novel personalized task-oriented worker recruitment mechanism for mobile crowdsensing systems based on a careful characterization of workers’ preference. In particular, we fully exploit the content information (e.g., task category, task description) together with the context information (e.g., task time, task location) from the implicit feedback of workers’ attendance to accurately model workers’ preference on tasks. Moreover, we regard the task-worker fitness prediction as a binary classification problem and utilize the Logit model to integrate the heterogeneous factors into a single framework to predict the matching probability of each task-worker pair. Finally, the workers with the highest matching probability are recruited proactively for each new task. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed mechanism achieves better performance than the benchmarks.
Doped hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon oxide layers for high‐efficiency c‐Si heterojunction solar cells

Hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon oxide (nc‐SiOx:H) layers exhibit promising optoelectrical properties for carrier‐selective‐contacts in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. However, achieving high conductivity while preserving crystalline silicon (c‐Si) passivation quality is technologically challenging for growing thin layers (less than 20 nm) on the intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon ((i)a‐Si:H) layer. Here, we present an evaluation of different strategies to improve optoelectrical parameters of SHJ contact stacks founded on highly transparent nc‐SiOx:H layers. Using plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition, we firstly investigate the evolution of optoelectrical parameters by varying the main deposition conditions to achieve layers with refractive index below 2.2 and dark conductivity above 1.00 S/cm. Afterwards, we assess the electrical properties with the application of different surface treatments before and after doped layer deposition. Noticeably, we drastically improve the dark conductivity from 0.79 to 2.03 S/cm and 0.02 to 0.07 S/cm for n‐ and p‐contact, respectively. We observe that interface treatments after (i)a‐Si:H deposition not only induce prompt nucleation of nanocrystals but also improve c‐Si passivation quality. Accordingly, we demonstrate fill factor improvement of 13.5%abs from 65.6% to 79.1% in front/back‐contacted solar cells. We achieve conversion efficiency of 21.8% and 22.0% for front and rear junction configurations, respectively. The optical effectiveness of contact stacks based on nc‐SiOx:H is demonstrated by averagely 1.5 mA/cm2 higher short‐circuit current density thus nearly 1%abs higher cell efficiency as compared with the (n)a‐Si:H.
An Introduction of the Drugs of Hridya Mahakashya (Group of Cardio Tonics Drugs) and its Mode of Action

Ayurveda defines health as a state of physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual well-being. Nowadays, life has become so erratic that everybody is in hurry and is stressed. This life style has a direct impact on the health especially on the heart. Thus cardiovascular diseases pose an alarming threat to global health. Large number of herbs are mentioned in Ayurveda as Hrida i.e. beneficial for heart. In this study I have discussed about the herbs that are mentioned in Hridya Mahakashya (Group of cardio tonics drugs). Acharya charaka has mentioned the Hridya Mahakashaya in his classification . This is a group of ten drugs i. e. beneficial for heart. All ten drugs are Amla Rasa Pradhana (sour in taste) and rich source of vitamin c. Vitamin c is proved to be a potent antioxidant as well as a good stress buster. The aim of this article is putting forward the brief accounts and probable mode of action of these drugs mentioned in Hridya Mahakashaya.
Perceptions of non-STEM discipline teachers on coding as a teaching and learning tool: what are the possibilities?

Abstract Research explored the change in perspectives of K–12 non-STEM discipline teachers regarding coding as an instructional tool. Whether, and to what extent, participants (n = 35) are willing to embrace coding as a teaching and learning strategy was examined. Findings suggest that participants’ perspectives improved as a result of their participation in a series of coding activities that included opportunities for coding, structured reflection, and peer discussion. Results also indicate that a majority of participants (nearly 69%) agree that coding is a critical skill that all educators should address, but many (51%) lack confidence in their ability to integrate coding into their instructional practice. Finally, implications for professional practice are discussed.
