Authors: Haghi Fakhri , Shirmohammadlou Neda , Bagheri Rabab , Jamali Sama , Zeighami Habib
Published: March 2019

Objectives:

Enterococci are part of the microbial flora of the gastrointestinal tract of animals and human and can be released into the environment through fecal materials. These microorganisms play an important role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) have been obtained in municipal sewage, hospital and agricultural wastes and healthy carriers. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of VRE in sewage and fecal samples of healthy carriers.

Methods:

This study was performed on fecal specimens of 100 healthy carriers and 100 samples of sewage in Zanjan Province. Fecal and sewage samples were cultured on Trypticase Soy Agar and biochemical tests were performed for Enterococci identification. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed as CLSI guidelines and vancomycin resistance was determined using the agar dilution method.

Result:

Of 200 cultured samples, 141 isolates of Enterococci were detected. 64 isolates were detected from fecal and 77 were isolated from the sewage samples. Antibiotic resistance profile of fecal isolates was as follows: tetracycline (57.8%), ciprofloxacin (54.7%), phosphomycin (54.7%), erythromycin (51.5%), chloramphenicol (12.5%), amoxicillin (21.8%) and gatifloxacin (23.5%). Also for the sewage samples, the most antibiotic resistance was detected against ciprofloxacin (76.6%) followed by tetracycline (74%), erythromycin (68.8%), phosphomycin (61%). According to Agar dilution method, among 141 isolates of Enterococci, 15 (10.6%) isolates were vancomycin resistant: 11 of sewage isolates (14.3%) and 4 of the carrier isolates (6.2%).

Conclusion:

Our study describes the high frequency of VRE in municipal sewage and healthy carriers. Regarding the importance of VRE strains in the clinical and environment, it seems necessary to follow up on the issue.

Authors: Momtaz Yadollah Abolfathi , Mousavi-Shirazi Fatemeh , Mollaei Parisa , Delbari Ahmad
Published: March 2019

Background:

Studies show as people age, demand for health care services rises. One of the most important factors that significantly affect the quality of elderly care is the attitude towards older adults.

Objective:

The current study aimed to assess the attitude of medical sciences students towards older adults in Iran.

Methods:

A cross-sectional design study using a multistage proportional random sampling method was employed to obtain a sample of 583 Iranian medical sciences students in 2017. The data were measured using the Kogan's Attitudes Towards Older People Scale (KAOPS). The SPSS 23.0 for Windows (IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0) was used to analyze the data.

Results:

Out of the 583 respondents, around 44% were female and a little more than one-fourth was medical students. The mean age was 21.98 (SD=3.63) years. The mean score of the attitude towards the elderly was found to be 56.90 (SD=8.04). Aging health students scored a more positive attitude towards elderly people than other medical sciences students. Results of the bivariate analyses revealed that field of study (F(7, 575) = 2.66,P<0.01), participating in gerontology and geriatrics research (t(581) =2.80,p<0.01), and attending in gerontology and geriatrics congress (t(581) =1.96,p<0.05) significantly associated with attitude toward older adults.

Conclusions:

The findings from the current study show that Iranian medical sciences students have moderate positive attitudes towards older adults and vary by students’ field of study and their research activity in gerontology and geriatrics field. Therefore, effective interventions for enhancing the attitudes of medical sciences students towards older adults should be developed and implemented.
Transepithelial versus Epithelium off Crosslinking for Treating Keratoconus among Jordanians
Authors: Al Zubi Khalid , Albakar Yaser , Nasser Rana
Published: March 2019

Background:

The progression of keratoconus is stabilized with the help of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) supported through photosynthesized riboflavin.

Objective:

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the transepithelial procedure and epithelium off procedure of corneal collagen crosslinking among keratoconus patients in Jordan.

Methods:

The study recruited 80 patients suffering from progressive keratoconus, from a tertiary care setting in Jordan. These participants were randomly divided into two groups; group 1 with 40 participants subjected to transepithelial (Corneal collagen cross-linking) CXL; and 40 participants in group 2 received conventional epithelium off CXL.

Results:

Improvement was observed in the mean contact lens, which corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) from logMAR 0.332 ± 0.09 (group 1), 0.35 ± 0.09 (group 2) to 0.241 ± 0.07 (group 1), 0.21 ± 0.07 (group 2), respectively at the end of follow-up (12 months). The mean pachymetry improved from 429.81 ± 18.96 μm (group 1), 430.08 ± 17.05 μm (group 2) to 436.5 ± 15.49 μm (group 1), 436.44 ± 12.53 μm (group 2), respectively, after twelve months. Additionally, the mean Sim K astigmatism declined from 7.0 ± 2.0 (group 1), 6.73 ± 1.98 (group 2) to 5.97 ± 1.88 (group 1), 5.53 ± 0.08 (group 2) respectively at twelve months post-treatment. Majority of the patients in group 2 experienced more pain as compared to group 1 participants.

Conclusion:

The effectiveness of a cross-linking procedure related to keratometry readings and corneal thickness showed that conventional (epithelium off) CXL method is more effective than transepithelial CXL.
In-Vitro CYP3A4, CYP2E1 and UGT Activity in Human Liver Microsomes by Strobilanthes crispus Leaf Extracts
Authors: Akowuah Gabriel Akyirem , Chin Jin Han , Yeong Siew Wei , Quah Suk Yen , Ahmad Mariam
Published: March 2019

Background:

Strobilanthes crispus (L.) Bremek (Acanthaceae) leaves are used traditionally
in Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia for anti-diabetic, anti-lytic, diuretic, and laxative purposes.
Herb-drug interactions may potentiate or antagonize the absorption and metabolism of drugs which
may result in potential toxicity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of juice,
hot aqueous, cold aqueous and methanol extracts of S. crispus leaves on phase I cytochrome 3A4
(CYP3A4) and Cytochrome 2E1 (CYP2E1) and phase II human liver enzyme UDP-Glucuronosyl
Transferase (UGT).

Methods:

The herb-drug interactions of the leaf extracts and juice were determined by specific enzyme
activity of CYP isoforms with specific probe substrate using spectrophotometry. CYP3A4 activity
was measured for aminopyrine specific metabolite (formaldehyde) at 415 nm. CYP2E1 activity
was determined using p-nitrophenol specific metabolite (p-nitrocatechol) at 535 nm. UGT activity
was quantified through the consumption of p-nitrophenol by UGT at 405 nm.

Results:

All the S. crispus preparations showed significant inhibition of CYP3A4 activity. Only the
methanolic extract showed a significant inhibition in CYP2E1. All the S. crispus extracts showed a
significant effect on UGT activation at the higher concentration (1000 ng/ml). Only the cold aqueous
extract and the juice showed UGT inhibition at lower concentration (1 ng/ml).

Conclusion:

S. crispus preparations showed in-vitro drug-herb interaction effects on human liver
microsomes. Therefore, there is a possibility of drug-herb interaction could occur with S. crispus
leaves through its effect on CYP3A4. Inhibition of the herb extracts on CYP2E1 could show anticarcinogenesis
effects. The potency of drugs that metabolized via UGT pathway may be affected
when co-administered with S. crispus leaf preparations.

Authors: Sparano Francesco , Aaronson Neil K , Cottone Francesco , Piciocchi Alfonso , La Sala Edoardo , Anota Amelie , Deliu Nina , Kieffer Jacobien M , Efficace Fabio
Published: March 2019

Aim:
We investigate the concordance, in terms of favoring the same treatment arm, between clinician-reported symptomatic adverse events (AEs) and information obtained via patient-reported outcomes (PRO) measures in cancer randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods:
We conducted a systematic literature search to identify all RCTs conducted in breast, colorectal, lung and prostate cancer, published between 2004 and 2017.
Results:
We identified 207 RCTs. In the majority of RCTs (n=133, 64.2%) a discordance between PROs and AEs was found. In 104 studies (50.2%), PRO data favored the experimental arm when AEs did not, while the opposite situation was found in 29 trials (14.0%).
Conclusion:
Frequently, information obtained via PRO measures and clinician-reported AEs do not favor the same treatment arm in RCT settings.
Sexually transmitted infections in privately insured adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
Authors: Schmidt Elizabeth K , Hand Brittany N , Simpson Kit N , Darragh Amy R
Published: March 2019

Aim:
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) may have an increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to limited sexual health education and higher rates of sexual abuse, yet little is known about the prevalence of STIs and STI testing in this population.
Methods:
This study compared national samples of privately insured individuals with (n = 25,193) and without I/DD (n = 25,193) on the prevalence of STIs and STI testing.
Results:
In multivariable models, individuals with I/DD were significantly less likely to have an STI diagnosis and no difference was found between groups on the odds of STI testing overall.
Conclusion:
Findings may, in part, be explained by fewer sexual experiences, increased supervision in social settings and delayed onset of sexual activity among those with I/DD.
Corporate governance reform in Italy during 2000-2017 (Codice di Autodisciplina 2015)
Authors: Di Tommaso Francesco , Gulinelli Arturo
Published: March 2019

In that paper, I want to analyze what is the best corporate governance model in the European Union. I start to define what can be the best corporate governance reform in Europe and in particular in Italy. The model that I use is the Italian Code for corporate governance where there is specific protection for the owners and the other shareholders. The statistical sample is the main companies in Italy and in the EU where the composition of the sample is the board of directors of them. The contribute of my paper is to find an original analysis of the bests code of behaviour inside of a board of director in terms of the level of communication inside of the organization and outside. For achieving that aim the corporate governance has to introduce a correct internal auditor an organized company structure and an efficient audit of a board of directors
Salivary alkaline phosphatase activity and chronological age as indicators for skeletal maturity
Authors: Alhazmi Nora , Trotman Carroll Ann , Finkelman Matthew , Hawley Dillon , Zoukhri Driss , Papathanasiou Evangelos
Published: March 2019

Objectives:

To investigate the relationship between salivary alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), protein concentration, and chronological age with cervical vertebral maturation stages (CVMS) as noninvasive biomarkers for skeletal maturity assessment.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study included 79 subjects (48 females, 31 males; 7 to 23 years old) categorized into five CVMS based on lateral cephalographs evaluated by three examiners. ALP activity and protein concentration in unstimulated whole saliva were compared among five CVMS. The association between age and CVMS was assessed and five multinomial logistic regression models were utilized to predict CVMS based on salivary ALP activity, protein concentration, and chronological age.

Results:

Salivary ALP reached the peak at early pubertal stage and then declined with a significant difference between CVMS I and CVMS II (P < .001) and between CVMS I and CVMS V (P = .004). A significant positive correlation between age and CVMS was found (rs = 0.763, P < .001). The models' overall correct classification rates for predicting CVMS were 32.9% using protein concentration, 35.4% using ALP activity, and 53.2% using both ALP activity and age.

Conclusions:

The combination of salivary ALP activity and chronological age may provide the best CVMS prediction.

Published: March 2019

Objectives:

To compare archwire selection on dental casts with archwire selection using a three-dimensional (3D) software program (OrthoAid) and assess agreement between clinicians.

Materials and Methods:

The best-fitting archwires were selected for dental casts of 100 patients with malocclusion using two approaches by three orthodontists. The first method was to visually determine the fitness of five preformed nickel titanium archwires to the arch form on a dental cast (subjective method). The second method was archwire selection on a virtual image of the same cast by means of 3D software (objective method). Agreement between selections performed by the orthodontists was calculated using Kappa statistics. The accuracy of fit of the archwires to the curves fitted to the arch form was also calculated or reversely assessed by means of the root mean square (RMS) for both methods using the Dahlberg formula.

Results:

The mean RMS of the distances between the patient arch forms and the archwires for the subjective method was 1.163–1.366 mm. The agreement of selections between orthodontists was 42%–58% (Kappa ranged from .074 to .382). Using the 3D software (objective method), the mean RMS decreased to 0.966–1.171 mm, and agreement increased to 47% to 84% (Kappa ranged from .444 to .747).

Conclusions:

The use of 3D computer software for archwire selection in patients with malocclusion provided better adaptation and interexaminer reliability.

‘They Bleed from Long-Healed Scars’: A Nietzschean Psychological Perspective on the Literature of Inherited Colonial Trauma in New Zealand
Authors: Moon Paul , Derby Melissa
Published: March 2019

How do we account for the ideological orientation of so much of the literature produced by academics in New Zealand over the past three decades dealing with the state of the country’s indigenous population? Specifically, how do we explain the near uniformity in these works when addressing themes associated with the ongoing crises and trauma of colonisation, that are purportedly bearing down on Māori?  The self-evident response would be to take this literature at face value – observing the overtly Marxist architecture both of its arguments and the conceptualisation of the salient issues,[i] and unquestioningly assume that colonisation is indeed a current as well as historical phenomenon in New Zealand; that it imposes crises and trauma on the country’s indigenous population; that its causes are systemic; that the coloniser’s racism is the axiomatic governing principle upholding this process;[ii] that there is a culturally, politically, and ethnically monolithic entity known as ‘Māori’; and that Māori agency is so limited that the process appears destined to be perpetually ruinous.  This is an extraordinary series of contingent relationships, and obviously exposes itself to serious historical, political, sociological, and cultural critiques.
Educational Transformation through whānau (or marae-a-hapū if you prefer): The centre of our universe

In 2012-2013 an evaluation of the Te Wānanga o Aotearoa social work degree programme Te Tohu Paetahi: Ngā Poutoko Whakarara Oranga BSW (Bi-culturalism in Practice) was conducted at the Tauranga campus.  In particular, we wanted to explore the critical indigenous space of marae and how Noho marae-based wānanga delivery might enhance tauira learning through their relationships with this space and their engagement with tribal epistemologies, in a bi-cultural social work programme. Also how this pedagogical approach might provide opportunities for contextualisation of nga takepu and tikanga in its authentic state.
Kapa Haka in the 21st century: Reaching past the ‘powers that be’ to grow the art form
Authors: Papesch Te Rita
Published: March 2019

In this paper I will explore what is it in Kapa Haka (Māori Performing Arts) that maintains or retains ‘old ways of knowing’ where, instead, it could present itself today in ‘new ways of doing’. The question arises: Why, in this ‘new’ age of Kapa Haka, do Kapa Haka tutors and performers insist on reproducing onstage, components of ‘old’ tikanga marae (customary marae practices)? Is it because some tutors and performers have not yet reconciled with the fact that Kapa Haka taken to the stage is theatre and therefore opens the way for a performance that is not based on tikanga? Why, in this millennium, are the same judging processes of Te Matatini[1] that have been in place for some forty years still being maintained. Why have we not explored further and implemented a new competitive judging system?
That was then, this is now: Māori Performance Research Comes of Age
Authors: Mazer Sharon
Published: March 2019

Then. The way I see it, Māori Performance Research as it is coming to be practiced now started in the late 1990s at the University of Canterbury. Te Rita Papesch and I had been thrown together there as its only two female heads of school – she in Māori Studies, I in Theatre and Film Studies. Bonded by gendered necessity in a male-dominated academic environment, our chat ran along the lines of ‘You show me your research, and I’ll show you mine’. She started talking about Kapa Haka, I started talking about Performance Studies, and twenty years on (although we’ve moved on from Canterbury), we’re still talking. After all, not only is the personal political, it is also simultaneously academic and performative. This then is a personal account, my own version of the story of how we have come to be here now in this room discussing a field of study that I will, today, call Māori Performance Research: research focused on Māori performance, performance research from a Māori perspective, performance research by and for Māori academics and artists. These are not the same thing, but an evolving mix of old and new ways both of knowing about performance and of performing that knowledge.
