Treatment of partial-thickness burns with a tulle-gras dressing and a hydrophilic polyurethane membrane: a comparative study
Authors: Sahin Cihan , Kaplan Pinar , Ozturk Sinan , Alpar Sule , Karagoz Huseyin
Published: January 2019

Objective:

The purpose of this revisited study was to compare the clinical efficacy and long-term scar evaluation of a hydrophilic polyurethane membrane (HPM), Omiderm (Omikron Scientific Ltd., Rehovot, Israel) and an antimicrobial tulle-gras dressing (TGD), Bactigras (Smith & Nephew) in the management of partial-thickness burns.

Method:

Patients with partial-thickness burns were enrolled in this prospective study. Burn areas were divided into two areas and both dressings were applied to each field at the same time. Time to full re-epithelialisation and scar evaluation were compared using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS).

Results:

A total of 21 patients, mean age 36.8 years, with 22 burns areas participated. The results showed that there is no statistically significant difference in terms of full epithelialisation time in the application of either dressing (p>0.05). However, with deep dermal burns, the HPM provided slightly faster epithelialisation (p>0.05). A VSS assessment showed no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between applying either dressing materials.

Conclusion:

This study indicated that both dressings had the same effectiveness in treatment of partial-thickness burn wounds. However, the use of the HPM, especially in deep dermal second-degree burns, should be one of the first-line clinical choices, based on the advantages discerned by this study.

Community alcohol detoxification in primary care services
Authors: Fernandez Jeff
Published: January 2019

Jeff Fernandez explains how primary care services are vital to providing cost-effective and successful alcohol detoxification treatment in the community, and they should not be reduced as a result of cuts to healthcare funding

The good provision of alcohol and drug services need to be protected despite budget cuts and the continual redesign of primary care services. This article will examine the alcohol detoxifications completed in one alcohol and drug service over a 2-year period and asserts that what is effective should be retained in any service redesign. An in-depth case study of a typical patient of the service will be presented to illustrate in detail the positive effects that detoxification can have. This article suggests that this valuable work should not be lost or reduced as a result of funding cuts to the health service.

Authors: Mohammed S. , Saidu Adamu Saleh , Jajere S. M. , Tomar P. , Wakil A. M. , Mohammed J. , Preeti R.
Published: January 2019

Aim: Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is an important milk-borne zoonosis that affects cattle production and poses serious threat to public health. This study aimed at assessing the risk factors as well as the level of awareness, attitude, and practices of abattoir personnel toward bTB in Gombe Township Abattoir, Gombe State.

Materials and Methods: A prospective survey was conducted between October 2015 and December 2015. During the survey, a total of 112 close-ended structured questionnaires were administered to the abattoir personnel to assess their level of awareness of bTB.

Results: Of these respondents, the majority were males (79%), butchers (49%) and about 40% were under the productive age brackets of 26-35 years. Majority of the respondents (85.7%) were aware of the zoonotic nature of the disease. However, only a few of the respondents (44.6%) wear personal protective equipments (PPEs) clothes while handling or in contact with carcasses during the slaughtering process. Only a few among the respondents (24.1% and 31.2%) consumed unpasteurized milk and unaware of eating of improperly cooked meat as a risk factor of bTB, respectively. About 75.7% of the respondents believed that the habit of eating and drinking inside the abattoir and during slaughtering operations has no any significant effects on their health. The results obtained show a statistically significant association between respondents' awareness of bTB and their occupational status, duration of exposure to cattle carcasses, and knowledge about the disease (p<0.05); and the odds of being aware of bTB was 10.0, 5.07, and 4.2, respectively.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates the need for public health authorities to intervene in bTB prevention and control through the creation of avenues for enlightenment on the zoonotic risk associated with bTB. The risk factors associated with bTB transmission as indicated by the personnel's practice and awareness levels in Gombe township abattoir are preventable through the use of PPEs clothing.

Published: January 2019

Em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTIs), o risco de reações adversas e tratamento terapêutico ineficaz é elevado, tal fato se deve as interações medicamentosas, que podem ocorrer quando a terapêutica prescrita é composta de diversos fármacos de diferentes classes. Essas terapias com múltiplos medicamentos acontecem porque tais unidades tratam pacientes críticos. Objetivo Primário: avaliar o perfil das interações medicamentosas e os fatores associados em prescrições médicas de pacientes internados em UTI em uma unidade hospitalar de grande porte no interior da Bahia. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, realizado em um hospital público de grande porte através da análise das prescrições médicas da Unidade de Terapia Intensiva no período­ de 06 de setembro a 06 de outubro de 2018. Resultados:  Foram encontradas 1485 Interações Medicamentosas nas prescrições referentes a 52 pacientes que estiveram internados no período da análise documental do presente estudo. Estas foram quantificadas, tiveram sua frequência analisada e classificadas de acordo com sua relevância em Secundária, Moderada, Importante e Contraindicada. Discussão: foi identificado 63,37% de IM-Importantes e 2,09% das IM encontradas foram contraindicadas, tal dado é preocupante pois entre os possíveis sinais e sintomas da interação medicamentosa classificada como importante figura hipotensão, bradicardia, hipoatividade e síndromes piramidais e as IMs contraindicadas geram riscos de morte e agravos importantes a saúde do paciente. Considerações Finais: O conhecimento do perfil das IMs que ocorrem em um determinado contexto assistencial contribui para a elaboração de ações de prevenção e o acompanhamento dos resultados clínicos das interações pela equipe de saúde

Lipschitz Extensions to Finitely Many Points
Authors: Basso Giuliano
Published: January 2019

We consider Lipschitz maps with values in quasi-metric spaces and extend such maps to finitely many points. We prove that in this context every 1-Lipschitz map admits an extension such that its Lipschitz constant is bounded from above by the number of added points plus one. Moreover, we prove that if the source space is a Hilbert space and the target space is a Banach space, then there exists an extension such that its Lipschitz constant is bounded from above by the square root of the total of added points plus one. We discuss applications to metric transforms.

Authors: Doll P. W. , Semperowitsch C. , Häfner M. , Ahrens R. , Spindler B. , Guber A. E.
Published: January 2019

Within this work we demonstrate a UV-Lithography based method for the fabrication of microgrooves on titanium surfaces. The microgroove period, depth and profile form are easily controllable by process parameters. By controlled under-etching of a lithographically structured photo resist, different profile forms from nearly rectangular, over curvy/spiked to sinus-shaped forms with different amplitudes and sizes can be realized. The resulting microgrooves can be directly used as implant or implant abutment surfaces to enhance soft tissue integration or to create molds for cell/substrate interaction studies. Due to the lithographic process the whole method is highly controllable and reproducible.
Comparison Between Static and Dynamic Analyses of The Solid Fat Content of Coconut Oil
Authors: Dhaygude Vinod , Soós Anita , Zeke Ildikó , Somogyi László
Published: January 2019

The objective of this work was to compare the physical and thermal characteristics of two coconut oils and their blends which were observed by the results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (pNMR). Fat blends composed of different ratios (fully hydrogenated coconut oil / non-hydrogenated coconut oil: 25/75, 50/50 and 75/25) were prepared and examined for solid fat content. The solid fat content of samples was determined as a function of temperature by pNMR. The DSC technique determines the solid fat index by measuring the heat of fusion successively at different temperatures. DSC calculates the actual content of solids in fat samples and how it changes throughout the duration of heating or cooling. A characteristic curve is constructed by the correlation of enthalpies. Based on our results, it is clear that both DSC and pNMR techniques provide very practical and useful information on the solid fat content of fats. DSC is dynamic and pNMR is static. A difference in the values of the solid fat indexes of samples was observed which may be due to a fundamental difference between the two techniques. These data can be used by food manufacturers to optimize processing conditions for modified coconut oil and food products fortified with coconut oil.
Comparison of Particle Size Distribution Models for Polymer Swelling
Authors: Wirnhardt Ádám , Varga Tamás
Published: January 2019

In polymer technologies, various particle shapes and size distributions can be found. One of these are heterodisperse polymer beads. The capabilities of polymer swelling can be used in industries, e.g in the production of ion-exchange resins, to intensify specific technological steps such as sulphonation in the manufacturing process of ion-exchange resins. According to the literature different approaches can be used to create models for describing the behavior of disperse systems, of which the simplest models are the particle size distribution models for a given state of the solid phase. The aim of our examination was to compare and evaluate these simple models in terms of modeling polymer swelling. Hence, most of these models examine how each of the investigated models can be applied to approximately describe growth in a heterodisperse polymer system and how the identified model parameters in each time step could be interpreted. All the models were fitted to generate particle size distributions based on a swelling rate constant. The swelling of a styrene divinylbenzene-based copolymer was chosen as the basis of our examination. A model is proposed that is capable of describing the changes in the size of beads over time in this system.
Climate change in Upper East Region of Ghana; challenges existing in farming practices and new mitigation policies
Authors: Fagariba Clifford James , Song Shaoxian , Baoro Serge Kévin Gildas Soule
Published: January 2019

Countries and international organizations are making conscious effort to address climate change threat to humanity. Rising fossil fuel burning and land use changes to meet human demands continuously emit large quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere thus causing climate change. The research used Talensi District as a case study to determine factors influencing farmers’ adaptation response and the actual practices used to avert climate change impact. A total of 225 small-scale farmers were sampled for survey and 100 key informants were used in focus group discussions. Utilizing the logistic regression model, the study indicated that education, transportation, inputs cost and extension services were the factors with high tendency of undermining farmers’ ability to adapt to climate change. In addition, Weighted Average Index used to measure weather extremes revealed that drought and temperature had the highest level of occurrence. Climate change adaptation practices assessed in the study showed that change in planting date, improved crops varieties and land rotation were the most preferred practices. The study concluded that farmers resilience could be enhanced if governments and concerned organizations intensify adaptation campaigns, increase access to weather information, and train farmers on adaptable practices including, timely planting and alternative sources of livelihood. In addition, intensifying government support for agriculture including input subsidies, and provision of irrigation facilities were also good interventions to improve climate change resilience.

The epoxidized ethylene propylene diene rubber (eEPDM) was successfully prepared by the epoxidation of ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) using t-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant in association with molybdenum oxide as the catalyst and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance analyses. Then the poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/eEPDM/polypropylene (PP) blends with different eEPDM contents were prepared using a twin-screw extruder, and the effect of eEPDM on nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of PBT/PP blend was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Meanwhile, morphological features of samples were observed using scanning electron microscopy. Also, the mechanical properties of samples were evaluated. Analyses of the crystallization data by various macro-kinetic models like Jeziorny modified Avrami and Liu-Mo model demonstrated that PP as diluents accelerated the crystallization of PBT in PBT/PP. Moreover, the addition of eEPDM into PBT/PP further facilitated the crystallization of PBT in PBT/eEPDM/PP. The eEPDM was an effective crystallization promoter for PBT/PP blend. And the presence of eEPDM promoted the uniform dispersion of PP in PBT matrix. When the content of eEPDM was 5 phr, the PBT/eEPDM/PP exhibited the highest notched impact strength and Young’s modulus among all the specimens.

A novel high-dose dosimeter based on γ radiation reduction of copper ions and formation of copper metal inside polymer matrix were investigated. γ radiation induced synthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) in poly vinyl alcohol films were studied by UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The optical absorption spectra showed that the Cu/PVA nanocomposite films have surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of copper nanoparticles which depending on irradiation doses. Upon γ irradiation these films turns its color from faint blue to deep reddish brown depending on metal ion concentration. The XRD pattern and FTIR spectrum confirm the formation of the CuNPs. The response of Cu/PVA nanocomposite dosimeters depends on both the irradiation doses and concentration of copper precursor. The dose range for these films was from 50 to 650 kGy, revealing its important applications for high dose dosimetry. Cu/PVA nanocomposites films exhibit good post-irradiation stability in dark and light.

Several studies have used transcranial magnetic stimulation to probe the corticospinal-motoneuronal responses to a single session of strength training; however, the findings are inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether a single bout of strength training affects the excitability and inhibition of intracortical circuits of the primary motor cortex (M1) and the corticospinal-motoneuronal pathway. A systematic review was completed, tracking studies between January 1990 and May 2018. The methodological quality of studies was determined using the Downs and Black quality index. Data were synthesised and interpreted from meta-analysis. Nine studies (n=107) investigating the acute corticospinal-motoneuronal responses to strength training met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses detected that after strength training compared to control, corticospinal excitability [standardised mean difference (SMD), 1.26; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.88, 1.63; p<0.0001] and intracortical facilitation (ICF) (SMD, 1.60; 95% CI, 0.18, 3.02; p=0.003) were increased. The duration of the corticospinal silent period was reduced (SMD, −17.57; 95% CI, −21.12, −14.01; p=0.00001), but strength training had no effect on the excitability of the intracortical inhibitory circuits [short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) SMD, 1.01; 95% CI, −1.67, 3.69; p=0.46; long-interval intracortical inhibition (LICI) SMD, 0.50; 95% CI, −1.13, 2.13; p=0.55]. Strength training increased the excitability of corticospinal axons (SMD, 4.47; 95% CI, 3.45, 5.49; p<0.0001). This systematic review and meta-analyses revealed that the acute neural changes to strength training involve subtle changes along the entire neuroaxis from the M1 to the spinal cord. These findings suggest that strength training is a clinically useful tool to modulate intracortical circuits involved in motor control.

Published: January 2019

This article presents a comparison of damage accumulation calculations performed according to the Palmgren-Miner linear damage hypothesis and a new nonlinear damage accumulation aggregation hypothesis based on material memory for completed experimental block tests of 6082-T6 aluminum alloy. Block loads represent operating runs by way of application in proper sequence blocks with the specific number of cycles of the sinusoidal course. Depending on the combination chosen, the duration of the first block was 20, 40, or 60 % of the base number of cycles Nf and of the second block until damage. Block tests were carried out for both bending and torsion. Moreover, the article contains a review of the newest proposals regarding the assessment of fatigue damage accumulation. The results obtained from calculations of the analyzed two hypotheses of fatigue damage accumulation have been compared with the calculations of a damage degree for random loading. During the analysis of the average values obtained, it may be observed that the authors’ new proposal gives better results.

Processing incentive and drive is essential for control of goal-directed behavior. The limbic part of the basal ganglia has been emphasized in these processes, yet the exact neuronal mechanism has remained elusive. In this study, we examined the neuronal activity of the ventral pallidum (VP) and its upstream area, the rostromedial caudate (rmCD), while two male macaque monkeys performed an instrumental lever release task in which a visual cue indicated the forthcoming reward size. We found that the activity of some neurons in VP and rmCD reflected the expected reward size transiently following the cue. Reward size coding appeared earlier and stronger in VP than in rmCD. We also found that the activity in these areas was modulated by the satiation level of monkeys, which also occurred more frequently in VP than in rmCD. The information regarding reward size and satiation level was independently signaled in the neuronal populations of these areas. The data thus highlighted the neuronal coding of key variables for goal-directed behavior in VP. Furthermore, pharmacological inactivation of VP induced more severe deficit of goal-directed behavior than inactivation of rmCD, which was indicated by abnormal error repetition and diminished satiation effect on the performance. These results suggest that VP encodes incentive value and internal drive and plays a pivotal role in the control of motivation to promote goal-directed behavior.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe limbic part of the basal ganglia has been implicated in the motivational control of goal-directed action. Here, we investigated how the ventral pallidum (VP) and the rostromedial caudate (rmCD) encode incentive value and internal drive and control goal-directed behavior. Neuronal recording and subsequent pharmacological inactivation revealed that VP had stronger coding of reward size and satiation level than rmCD. Reward size and satiation level were independently encoded in the neuronal population of these areas. Furthermore, VP inactivation impaired goal-directed behavior more severely than rmCD inactivation. These results highlight the central role of VP in the motivational control of goal-directed action.

Multi-parent Advanced Generation Intercross (MAGIC) populations are fast becoming mainstream tools for research and breeding, along with the technology and tools for analysis. This paper demonstrates the analysis of a rice MAGIC population from data filtering to imputation and processing of genetic data to characterizing genomic structure, and finally quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping. In this study, 1316 S6:8 indica MAGIC (MI) lines and the eight founders were sequenced using Genotyping by Sequencing (GBS). As the GBS approach often includes missing data, the first step was to impute the missing SNPs. The observable number of recombinations in the population was then explored. Based on this case study, a general outline of procedures for a MAGIC analysis workflow is provided, as well as for QTL mapping of agronomic traits and biotic and abiotic stress, using the results from both association and interval mapping approaches. QTL for agronomic traits (yield, flowering time, and plant height), physical (grain length and grain width) and cooking properties (amylose content) of the rice grain, abiotic stress (submergence tolerance), and biotic stress (brown spot disease) were mapped. Through presenting this extensive analysis in the MI population in rice, we highlight important considerations when choosing analytical approaches. The methods and results reported in this paper will provide a guide to future genetic analysis methods applied to multi-parent populations.
