Published: March 2022

Brucellosis is zoonotic disease, more contagious and chronic disease with absence of specific clinical features which is difficult to diagnose clinically. Important test routinely used for diagnosing this disease is serological test although isolation of organism and Polymerase chain reaction used for definitive diagnosis. The present study was done to know the seroprevalence of human brucellosis in and around Chitradurga. Out of 154 Blood samples referred by clinicians for serodiagnosis of brucellosis to Microbiology laboratory 69 samples were included for evaluation of Brucella. Demographic, clinical and other required data of patients extracted from medical case records. Serum was separated from samples and Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) carried out by both qualitative and semiquantitative method. The overall seroprevalence of brucellosis in the study was 11.59%. Disease was more commonly seen among 23-39 years age group. Slightly higher cases identifies among males than females. Fever with no apparent clinical features was present in 8/13(61.5%) patients. 69.2% cases had history of animal contact and living in rural areas. RBPT semiquantitative test Titres of 1:2 were detected in majority (38.4%) of samples. Conclusion: Though culture is gold standard, serology remains simple, cost effective, best diagnostic method for Brucellosis. Clinicians should have high degree of suspicion of brucellosis with history of animal contact, or living in rural areas. Use of the rose Bengal test as the sole technique for the diagnosis of brucellosis can be considered.
Grapevine row orientation, vintage and grape ripeness effect on anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, flavonols and phenolic acids: I. Vitis vinifera L. cv. Syrah grapes
Authors: Minnaar Dr Phillip , Van Der Rijst Marieta , Hunter Kobus
Published: March 2022

Phenolic concentrations are affected by environmental factors and grape cultivar, as well as viticultural practices, which should be considered when a specific phenolic profile is intended. The effect of microclimate induced by row orientation on phenolic compounds of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Syrah/101-14 Mgt grapes was investigated. Grapes were harvested from four vintages at 22 °Brix, 24 °Brix and 26 °Brix from N-S, E-W, NE-SW and NW-SE orientated grapevine rows. Phenolics were quantified in freeze-dried grape skins using an HPLC method. A vintage effect was only evident for specific individual phenolics for the four vintages. Grapes from NE-SW rows at 22 °Brix had the highest total flavonols and anthocyanins. Catechin was highest in grapes from N-S rows at 24 °Brix, whereas total phenolic acids, caffeic acid and total flavonols were highest from NW-SE rows at 24 °Brix and 26 °Brix. Isoquercetin was highest from NE-SW rows at 22 °Brix and 26 °Brix, whereas kaempferol and quercitrin were highest from E-W rows at 24 °Brix. The majority of phenolics was highest from NW-SE rows at 24 °Brix and 26 °Brix. The results indicate that row orientation affects phenolic development in Syrah grapes, but that vintage has a limited effect on phenolics. Light induced in the fruit zone positively affected the grape phenolic development of NE-SW rows at 22 °Brix and that of NW-SE rows at 24 °Brix and 26 °Brix. However, it is unlikely that a single index can be applied to all growing conditions and grape cultivars. Rows that allow moderate radiation intensity in the canopy (i.e., NE-SW and NW-SE during the day) seem more favourable for the development of phenolics than N-S and E-W rows. The light and berry temperature conditions in the fruit zone resulting from row orientation have the potential for widening the range of Syrah wine styles. In practice, a desirable row orientation may not be applicable to all environments. Management of the fruit zone remains an option for increasing or decreasing grape light exposure, irrespective of row orientation.

Parents and peer attachment and their relationship with emotional problems in adolescence: is stress mediating?
Authors: Mónaco Estefanía
Published: March 2022

Adolescence is a vital stage susceptible to the development of stress and emotional problems that reduce well-being. The aim of this work was to study the relationship between attachment to mother, father, and peers, considering the mediating role of stress, and controlling the influence of gender and age. We also studied the relationship between stress and emotional problems with scholar and familiar variables. 700 Spanish students (54.1% girls) between 12 and 15 years participated (M = 13.59; SD = 1.07). Academic performance, family structure, parents and peer attachment (IPPA), emotional problems (SDQ) and stress (PSS-4) were assessed. Data were collected cross-sectional and analysed using SPSS 24.0 and PROCESS (model 4). Descriptive analyses, t-tests, bivariate correlations, and three mediation models were performed. Results suggest that girls suffer more stress (t = 4.51; p = .000) and more emotional problems (t = 7.31; p = .000) than boys. Age correlates positively with stress (r = .12; p = .000). Lastly, stress is a mediating variable between attachment (to both parents and peers) and emotional problems. The importance of addressing stress and emotional symptoms management in adolescence is discussed, particularly in adolescents with poorer quality relationships with their parents and peers.

The influence of self-esteem and (cyber) bullying on adolescents’ well-being: a question of gender?
Authors: Romero-Reignier Virginia
Published: March 2022

Subjective well-being consists of a subjective component (life satisfaction) and an affective component (positive and negative affect). Levels of well-being tend to decline during adolescence, which could have physical and mental health consequences. Multiple factors influence adolescent well-being, such as self-esteem, bullying and cyberbullying, as well as gender. In this paper, we study the relationship between self-esteem, bullying (face-to-face and virtual) and the affective dimension of subjective well-being in adolescence, considering the moderating effect of gender. 797 Spanish adolescents between 14 and 18 years old (54.2% girls; Mage=15.5; SD=.68) participated in the study. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), the Positive and Negative Experience Scale (SPANE), and Cyberbullying and Peer Bullying Screening were used. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 24.0, and EQS 6.4 packages. T-test, bivariate correlations and structural equations (SEM) were performed. The results suggest that girls have lower levels of self-esteem (t = 4.10; p < .001) and well-being (t = 2.46; p < .05) than boys, while boys more often report being bullies (t = 2.67; p < .01) and cyberbullies (t = 2.55; p = .01), as well as victims of bullying (t = 2.16; p < .05). The variables that influence adolescents’ affective well-being are self-esteem and bullying victimization. Gender moderates the influence of self-esteem on well-being. For boys, a negative assessment of themselves impacts their negative affection more strongly than girls [χ²(df)= 15.69(3); p < .001]. These results highlight the need to develop effective prevention and intervention programs to promote the well-being of adolescents, taking gender differences into account.

A Digital Rock Physics-Based Multiscale Multicomponent Model Construction of Hot-Dry Rocks and Microscopic Analysis of Acoustic Properties under High-Temperature Conditions
Authors: Wang Siyu , Tan Maojin , Wu Haiyan , Li Yongjie , Xie Guanbao , Zhang Lingtan
Published: March 2022

The development of hot-dry rock (HDR) resources relies on the accurate evaluation of acoustic properties. The acoustic properties are usually measured by rock physical experiments. However, the high-temperature heating experiment is difficult because of high costs, long time-consumption, and complex operations. Hence, digital rock physics (DRP), a less time-consuming and more economical way, is used to analyze the acoustic properties. Here, multiple scanning experiments, including X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) for reconstructing 3D model, quantitative evaluation of materials by scanning electron microscopy (QEMSCAN), and modular automated processing system (MAPS), are conducted, and a fusion method of multiple scanning images is proposed to solve the contradiction between image resolution and the sample size caused by small pore size and complex mineral distribution and to generate the multiscale multicomponent digital rock. Then, the acoustic numerical modeling at high temperatures is conducted, where the essential idea is to derive the theoretical correlation between the elastic moduli of the minerals and the temperatures to obtain the elastic moduli of minerals at different temperatures. Finally, the acoustic properties of the digital rock are calculated, and the microscopic mechanism at high temperatures is studied in detail. The simulating results demonstrate that bulk modulus, shear modulus, Poisson’s ratio, Young’s modulus, P-wave velocity, and S-wave velocity decrease as the temperature rises. More importantly, the thermal cracking behavior of HDR is represented, and fractal Brown motion is utilized to generate the fractured digital rock. The simulation results of fractured digital rock illustrate that it is the fracture to cause rapid decline of acoustic properties after 250℃. Overall, this pore-scale work accurately illustrates the acoustic properties of HDR and provides a new idea to study the rock physics properties at high temperatures and a microscopic interpretation for geothermal fracturing development.

This retrospective single-centre study was to validate the efficacy and safety of microtransplantation in the treatment of older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Microtransplantation combines chemotherapy and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched peripheral blood stem cell infusion without graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Totally, 26 newly diagnosed AML patients who received microtransplantation therapy were enrolled in our study from April 2008 to April 2018. The deadline date of follow-up was December 31, 2019. Patients were divided into 2 age groups: 60 ~ 70 years (n = 17) and > 70 years (n = 9). The study analyzed the data of complete remission (CR) rate, overall survival (OS), leukemia free survival (LFS), hematopoietic recovery time, and treatment related toxicities. 10 patients were still alive with complete remission (CR) on the deadline date, and the median overall survival (OS) was 64 months. The CR, relapse and nonrelapse mortality rates were 84.6%, 38.5% and 30%, respectively. Both OS (p < 0.0001) and leukaemia free survival (LFS) (p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in the younger group than in the older group. The median times of neutrophil and platelet recovery were 12 days and 14 days, respectively. These data showed that MST could be an alternative treatment for older AML patients.
Ambiguity Tolerance Can Improve Through Poetry Appreciation and Creation
Authors: Hitsuwari Jimpei , Nomura Michio
Published: March 2022

Ambiguity tolerance is an individual trait of preference for ambiguity that can be transformed by intervention. It is known that appreciation and discussion of art can improve ambiguity tolerance, but the effects of appreciation and discussion have not been separated, and there have been psychometric limitations. This study examined the effects of appreciation and creation on ambiguity tolerance using haiku, which are characterized by ambiguity and have been created by Japanese in their educational curriculum. The 152 participants in the zoom experiment answered the Multidimensional Attitude toward Ambiguity Scale at five time points: before and after haiku appreciation and creation, and one week later. The results showed that the absolutism, which is one factor of the attitude toward ambiguity, decreased after the appreciation and creation of haiku, and this effect persisted after one week, indicating that cognitive changes occurred through the appreciation and creation, which require various interpretations and choices.
Evaluation of Morphometric Parameters of Paleo-river by GIS application in Kufrah basin SE Libya
Authors: Zamot Jamal , Afkareen Mohammed
Published: March 2022

A great buried paleo-river in SE Libya have been discovered by various approaches of remote sensing and GIS techniques. The buried river was running through the Kufrah basin and drained eastern part of Libya externally to the Mediterranean Sea via Sahabi Valley and lately has changed to be drained internally into the inland delta of the Al-Jaghbub depression. In the current study a DEM with 30m spatial resolution is used to delineate and morphometrically analyse the network streams of the Kufrah paleo-river. The results show that the study area is a flat area with low relief topography, low moisture content and high evaporation rate. The drainage pattern of the Kufrah paleo-river is a dendritic pattern with the 7th order of streams. The network streams over a permeable sub-surface material, high infiltration capacity with very coarse texture, and low run-off. The Kufrah river can be described as an “Old age” river, and it’s highly eroded and dissected drainage basin.

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Bacillus spizizenii DN reveals possible mechanisms for electron transfer
Authors: Gomaa Ola M.
Published: March 2022

Gram positive bacteria are considered excellent candidates for bioelectrochemical systems (BES) but has not received sufficient attention as compared to the extensively studied gram negative bacteria. Bacillus spizizenii DN is a gram positive bacterium characterized as nitrate reducing, dye degrading and biofilm producing bacterium. Whole Genome sequence (WGS) of this bacterium showed Genome size 33.1 Kb and 3371 protein family. (NCBI biosample accession number: SAMN19821646). Genome annotation suggested the presence of microbial electron transfer (MET) related pathways such as nitrogen metabolism, flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis, riboflavin and xenobiotic metabolism, in addition to peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Cell-wall-associated nitrate reductase as a terminal electron acceptor and surface polysaccharide suggest direct electron transfer and biofilm involvement, while the presence of cofactors, vitamins and secondary metabolites provide diffusible redox mediators for a mediated electron transfer pathway. The results indicate that Bacillus spizizenii DN showed electroactivity and can be used for different BES applications. It was further used in fabrication of nitrate biosensor, it was also used for preparing electroconductive microbeads for use in biodegradation of nitrate containing colored wastewater. WGS can be a step for acquiring knowledge about EAB to harness their electroactive capacity and to develop an efficient biodegrading strategy that accommodates the application.
Life Cycle Costing of Institutional Buildings in India: A Case Study of GRIHA-Certified CPWD Buildings
Authors: Kochhar Priyanka , Singh Mandeep
Published: March 2022

Buildings have an important role in mitigating, adapting, and developing resilience toward climate change. While green buildings help reduce construction’s detrimental impact on the environment, the real-estate market and select industry stakeholders remain unconvinced regarding the monetary returns of investment through building resource efficiency. Life cycle cost (LCC) assessment is an important tool used by professionals globally to assess the economic feasibility of green buildings over their service life. In India, LCC studies have been adopted for private-sector residential buildings. Moreover, municipal bodies have incentivized green buildings for private developers to offset any incremental initial cost. However, LCC calculation is yet to become mainstream within the public procurement system for institutional buildings in India. Considering that building owners and occupants would accrue any operational cost benefits of green buildings, this work aims to address issues regarding cost barriers for mainstreaming the LCC of green and sustainable institutional buildings in India. Indian public-sector organizations such as the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) have had a long-term financial interest in property, own large portfolios, and are committed to delivering a project’s best value to their clients. Accordingly, actual data from CPWD buildings and developing factors were used to create useful scenarios for future decisions based on the LCC of the buildings. Three GRIHA-rated CPWD projects were selected as case studies to investigate their LCCs. Results indicated that despite initial incremental expenditure, all the projects showed significant net savings at the end of 25 years. LCC comparison enables decision making for buildings with equal performances, while in the case of varying performances, LCC techniques relate the total LCC to identifiable units of performance to enable decisions.
­­Assessing the profile of support for potential tobacco control policies targeting availability in Great Britain: a cross-sectional population survey
Authors: Kock Loren , Shahab Lion , Moore Graham , Shortt Niamh , Pearce Jamie , Brown Jamie
Published: March 2022

Context: To examine the level of support for tobacco availability policies across Great Britain (GB) and associations between support for policy and sociodemographic, smoking and quitting characteristics. Methods: Cross-sectional data came from a representative survey of adults in GB (n = 2,197) during September 2021. Weighted proportions indicated the level of support for each policy. Logistic regressions estimated the associations between support for each policy and sociodemographic and smoking characteristics. Findings: There was majority support for requiring retailers to have a license which can be removed if they sell to those under-age (89.6% (95%CI 88.3–90.9)) and for restrictions on the sale of cigarettes and tobacco near schools (69.9% (67.9–71.9)). More supported than opposed raising the legal age of sale of cigarettes and tobacco to 21 (49.2% supported; 30.7% opposed; 20.1% unsure) and reducing the number of retailers selling tobacco in neighbourhoods with a high density of tobacco retailers (46.5% supported; 23.3% opposed; 30.2% unsure). More opposed than supported a ban on the sale of cigarettes and tobacco to everyone born after a certain year from 2030 onwards (41.3% opposed; 34.5% supported; 24.2% unsure). Age was positively associated with support for raising the age of sale (OR 1.06 95%CI 1.01–1.12), and inversely associated with requiring tobacco retailer licenses (OR 0.86, 0.79–0.94).Women were more likely to support raising the age of sale (OR 1.25, 1.05–1.49) and reducing the number of retailers (OR 1.34, 1.12–1.60). Current smokers were less likely to support proposed availability policies than never smokers. Smokers with high motivation to stop had higher odds of supporting a ban on tobacco sales (OR 3.45, 1.68–7.14) and reducing the density of retailers (OR 2.60, 1.29–5.27). Conclusions: Requiring tobacco retailer licensing and restrictions on sales near schools received majority support. Other tobacco availability policies received substantial support despite considerable opposition. Many of the public remain unsure. Policy Points • Strong majority support for tobacco retailer licensing and restrictions on sales near schools suggests that implementation of these tobacco availability policies would be popular among adults in Great Britain. • There was greater support than opposition to raising the legal age of sale of tobacco to 21 and reducing the number of retailers in high density tobacco retailer neighbourhoods. • Opposition to a ban on tobacco sales has weakened compared with a previous survey in England, and many of the public remain unsure; informed debate will be critical in determining public attitudes towards this tobacco availability policy.

Medical information is valuable information obtained from humans regarding the phenotype of diseases. Omics data is informative to understand diseases at biomolecular level. We aimed to detect patient stratification patterns in a data-driven manner and identify candidate drug targets by investigating biomolecules that are linked to phenotype-level characteristics of a targeted disease. Such data integration is challenging because the data types of them are different, and these data contain many items that are not directly related to the disease. Hence, we developed an algorithm, subset binding, to find inter-related attributes in heterogeneous data. To search for potential drug targets for intractable IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), we collected medical information and proteome data of serum extracellular vesicles from patients with interstitial pneumonia including IPF. Our approach detected 20 proteins linked with IPF characteristics, whose expression intensities were confirmed to be high in fibrotic areas of human lung tissues. Furthermore, ponatinib, which inhibits these proteins, suppressed EMT (epithelial mesenchymal transition) in vitro. This workflow paves the way for data-driven drug target discovery even for intractable diseases whose mechanisms of pathogenesis are not fully understood.

Published: March 2022

In natural conditions, it takes more than 3 years to complete the Ananas juvenile phase, and another 2 years for adult vegetative growth of the plantlet from in vitro buds. Ethylene has often been used to shorten the juvenile and vegetative phases to produce earlier flowering. It is important to induce in vitro flowering of Ananas plants to understand the flowering mechanism more completely, which is also related to flower organ differentiation and development as well as the pineapple fruit eye development. In this study, Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium was used to select the best combination for adventitious bud induction from the callus of Ananas bracteatus var. tricolor (A. tricolor). Flower induction from the callus was studied using 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) and 1-naphthylacetic acid (NAA) at four different concentrations (0, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 mg⋅L–1). Our results showed that when MS was added with 3 mg⋅L–1 6-BA and 2 mg⋅L–1 NAA under 2000 μmol⋅m–2⋅s–1 of light for 16 hours per day at a temperature of 20 °C, the callus of A. tricolor grew quickly, and adventitious buds were induced. After more than four successive subcultures (at day 80), differentiation of flower buds was observed on the aging callus tissue before a complete floral organ developed. This research could be used for the flowering regulation of Ananas plants in the future. Inducing flowers directly from the callus has important scientific significance for the differentiation and morphogenesis of Ananas plants.

Introduction & Objective: Ischemia heart disease (IHD) is the most common cause of death in several communities. Atherosclerosis is the most prevalent cause of IHD, and it is influenced by a number of etiologic variables including high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and hyperlipidemia. Anemia is thought to be another cause of loss and morbidity in patients with IHD. As a result, the goal of the current study was to find out how common anaemia was in individuals who survived and died from a myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods: The subjects of this case-control study were patients who had a myocardial infarction and were hospitalised . The patients were separated into two groups: those who died and those who survived a myocardial infarction, and the prevalence of anaemia was assessed using haemoglobin levels in each of the 100 subjects. In addition, the demographic features, ejection fraction, and underlying medical problems of the patients were considered. Results: Anemia affected 20 patients (20%) of the 100 patients investigated, and 5 (25%) of the anaemic patients died. After MI, 30 % of the deceased patients were weak, while 5 percent of the survivors were anaemic. In addition, anaemia was higher in the former patient group than in the sustained group in all age and sex groups. The prevalence of anaemia was significantly higher in women than in males (P 0.05). ConclusionAccording to the findings, the prevalence of anaemia is statistically different in the former patient group after MI than in the group who survived after MI.

Objective/Hypothesis: To study the treatment response of Globus pharyngeus to ppi/prokinetic combination, and the role of antidepressants in non-responders. The purpose of this study is to devise a guideline for managing Globus pharyngeus which otherwise is a poorly understood and managed condition. Study design: It is a prospective non-randomised study where OPD visiting patients have been followed over a course of 6 to 12 months. Methods: 54 patients of Globus pharyngeus diagnosed, with any organic condition ruled out, were put on esomeprazole-domperidone/levosulpride combination. Patients were followed over 3 weeks and 6 weeks period. The non-reponders were put on antidepressant fluoxetine in addition. The response was again gauged at 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Results: 11 patients responded fairly well to the initial treatment of esomeprazole-domperidone/levosulpride. Rest of the 43 patients were put on Fluoxetine in addition and followed over 6 weeks and 12 weeks time. Out of them, 29 patients responded to a varied extent and the remaining either did not respond or were lost to follow-up. Conclusion: Only a minority of the Globus pharyngeus patients seem to respond to acid suppressant/prokinetic agents. Involvement of a psychiatrist early in the care of these patients is recommended as quite a number of non-responders to the routine treatment do well if managed with anitidepressants as well pointing to the underlying mood ailments.

Theres a need to reassess the COVID immunization schedule in elderly and especially in those with co-morbidities owing to their weaker immune response to vaccines. Also, the immunity against vaccines wanes off earlier in contrast to younger population. This in turn leads to significant impact on the physical, mental health and quality of life of the elderly. Hence, they even after getting vaccinated, find themselves in a constant state of fear of reinfection with this deadly virus.

Published: March 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has badly harmed the labor market in Israel, a direct result of increased demand for work due to the social distancing limitations, a drop in local demands Â– due to reduction in households income and consumers concerns of being exposed to the virus Â– and decreased demands to import. Increased uncertainty, including employment insecurity, and the harm to households wealth worsened the gloomy situation of the labor market since individuals have decreased their consumption even further. In short, the sharp decline in business activity triggered many of them to reduce the number of employees and cut wages.

Background: The prospect of side effects associated with the electromagnetic waves emitted by the mobile phones is a questioned issue. The current study was designed to assess the impact of mobile phone use on salivary concentrations of amylase in children. Methods: The children were divided into dominant and non-dominant groups based on the questionnaire. For each subject, saliva samples from the dominant and non-dominant mobile phone users were collected. Salivary flow rate and salivary concentrations of proteinamylase were measured. Data were analysed using one-way analyses of variance and t-tests conducted with the statistical software version 18 (SPSS Chicago, Illinois, USA). Results: Salivary flow rate and salivary concentrations of protein amylase were significantly higher in the non- dominant group than the dominant group. Conclusion: The dominant mobile phone use was associated with differences in salivary flow rate and salivary concentrations of amylase. Significant changes in salivary amylase and salivary flow rate suggest the adverse effects of the high use of cell phones on cell health in children.

Introduction: Intensive Care Units (ICU) are a major threat to nosocomial pneumonias with children being the most common victims of pneumonia. It is defined as manifestation of infection after 48 hours of hospital admission which can be also attributed to any procedures done to the patient. Aim: To find out the bacteriological profile in pulmonary involvement in the ICU setup and to determine the sensitivity patterns of these bacteria to the antibiotics by doing Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL). Materials and methods: Present study was a retrospective study conducted on children aged upto 1 month, who were admitted and ventilated for more than 48 hours and developed ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) as per CDC criteria with the data collected between a one year period from June 2020 to June 2021 and was conducted at a pediatric tertiary care centre of GMC Srinagar, India. The study included 34 BAL samples received in the laboratory from these patients. Results and discussion: The most common bacteria found out from the 34 BAL specimens was Acinetobacter baumanii which accounted to 16 samples (47%) of the entire sample size. It was followed by Klebsiella pneumonia from 8 samples accounting to 23%. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the third commonest with 6 samples accounting to 18%. Escherschia coli was isolated in 4 of the samples. Colistin was the only antibiotic which was seen uniformly sensitive (100%) among all the organisms isolated which was followed by tigecycline which was sensitive in 78% of isolated organism.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Amity University Uttar Pradesh., Guha Sampurna
Published: March 2022

Disability management and rehabilitation has achieved great strides over the past few decades. However, it has been seen that there is a lack of a common code of communication among professional working in the field of disability management. Absence of a common language regarding disability diagnosis can lead to gaps and redundancy often resulting in important information being missed from the diagnostic, assessment or evaluation reports. This further has an adverse impact on the intervention and training of such individuals. Hence, a strong need is felt to establish a mutual language of communication related to disability diagnosis and assessments. How to do so? The answer lies in using ICF codes and qualifiers for diagnosis and report writing in this field. The present study represents the benefits of using ICF towards estsablishing a common language for professionals in disability management and rehabilitation.
