Цель данного исследования заключалась в установлении наличия ассоциаций полиморфного маркера rs3846663 гена ГМГ-КоА-редуктазы с общим холестерином как в группе условно здоровых лиц, без разделения по гендерному признаку, так и отдельно в группе женщин и мужчин. Исследование проводилось в группе условно здоровых лиц в количестве 173 человек (105 женщин, 68 мужчины). Для идентификации одноточечного нуклеотидного полиморфизма использовали реакцию минисеквенирования с последующей детекцией продуктов реакции с использованием метода времяпролетной масс-спектрометрии с матрично-активированной лазерной десорбцией/ионизацией.В проведённом исследовании у носителей патологических генотипов (СТ и ТТ) полиморфного маркера rs3846663 гена ГМГ-КоА-редуктазы содержание общего холестерина было статистически значимо выше, чем у лиц с нормальным генотипом СС. Также было установлено, что носительство генотипов СТ и ТТ увеличивает вероятность повышенного содержания общего холестерина относительно целевой нормы. У женщин, носителей генотипов СТ и ТТ полиморфного маркера rs3846663 гена ГМГ-КоА-редуктазы, концентрация общего холестерина была статистически значимо выше. Более того, высокой также являлась вероятность повышенного содержания общего холестерина относительно целевой нормы. У здоровых мужчин наличие патологического аллеля Т не оказало влияние на содержание общего холестерина.

Цель: разработка метода изготовления съёмных зубных протезов компрессионным способом в латунных классических кюветах с получением разъемной пресс формы (штамп+контрштамп) без существенного удорожания себестоимости конечного продукта с применением кювет двойного винтового дожатия.Материалы и методы. Описана разработанная конструкция кюветы двойного винтового дожатия, технология изготовления съемных пластмассовых зубных протезов с ее использованием. Содержание остаточного мономера в стоматологической пластмассе осуществляли методом экстракции. Использовали образцы стоматологических базисных акриловых пластмасс: протакрил, вертекс, бесцветная, этакрил и фторакс в виде брусков. Образцы получали серийно в кювете двойного винтового дожатия с одинаковыми условиями полимеризации. Методом спектрофотометрии определяли количество остаточного мономера через 5, 10, 17, 19, 22 суток в каждой пробе. Пористость вышеуказанных образцов изучали путем электронно-микроскопического сканирования сколотых поверхностей, напыленых платиной в установке вакуумного магнетронного напыления K575XD.Результаты. Установлено, что содержание остаточного количества мономера в образцах, изготовленных с помощью кюветы двойного винтового дожатия, было меньше, в сравнении с традиционными технологиями, в «протакриле» в 10 раз, «вертексе» – в 7 раз, бесцветной пластмассе – в 2 раза, «этакриле» и «фтораксе» – в 4 раза. Пористость основной поверхности для пластмасс «вертекс», «протакрил», «фторакс» и «этакрил» не превышала тысячных долей процента, исключение составила бесцветная пластмасса, имеющая относительно высокую пористость – 3,9%.Заключение. Предложенная кювета двойного винтового дожатия позволяет сохранять заданные размеры (вследствие отсутствия грата), значительно уменьшить токсичность и пористость пластмасс и, как следствие, повысить прочностные свойства изготавливаемых протезов.

Service improvement study to improve care for patients who developed a surgical site infection after discharge
Authors: Tyrer Julie
Published: August 2019

Background:

many patients develop surgical site infection (SSI) after they have been discharged from hospital. SSI rate is a quality measure intended to support healthcare providers with useful information to improve service and patient outcomes.

Aim:

the purpose of the study was to gain some local insight into current practice and to inform and improve clinical practice for patients who develop SSIs after they have been discharged.

Method:

a quantitative approach was taken, using retrospective data collection and analysis of patient records, of patients reviewed by the tissue viability service after discharge over a 1-year period.

Findings:

a total of 112 patients were included in the study. Of these, 59 were assessed as having developed an SSI, of whom 39 patients presented after discharge. Most of these patients had shorter inpatient stays and many were under the care of community nurses, but referral to the specialist tissue viability service to seek expert advice was often delayed.

Conclusion:

the study has highlighted the potential value of post-discharge surveillance in contributing to more accurate SSI rates, and the importance of patients and community nurses being provided with clear, understandable information to ensure patients receive timely and effective management, which could reduce the severity of, and duration of treatment for, SSIs.

Published: August 2019

Purpose

The EOS-imaging system is increasingly adopted for clinical follow-up in scoliosis with the advantages of simultaneous biplanar imaging of the spine in an erect position. Skeletal maturity assessment using a hand radiograph is an essential adjunct to spinal radiography in scoliosis follow-up. This study aims at testing the feasibility and validity of a newly proposed EOS workflow with sequential spine-hand radiography for skeletal maturity assessment and bracing recommendation.

Methods

EOS spine-hand radiographs from patients with diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis, including both sexes and an age range of ten to 14 years, were scored using the Thumb Ossification Composite Index (TOCI), Sanders and Risser methods. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated for inter/intraobserver agreement and were tested with Cronbach's alpha values.

Results

In all, 60 EOS-spine hand radiographs selected from subjects with diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), including 32 male patients (mean age 11.53 years; 10 to 14) and 28 female patients (mean age 11.50 years; 10 to 13) who underwent sequential spine-hand low dose EOS imaging were generated for analysis. The overall interobserver (ICC = 0.997) and intraobserver agreement (α > 0.9) demonstrated excellent agreement for TOCI staging; ICC > 0.994 for both TOCI and Sanders staging comparing traditional digital versus EOS hand radiography; ICC ≥ 0.841 for agreement on bracing recommendation among TOCI versus the Risser and Sanders system.

Conclusion

With the proposed new EOS workflow it was feasible to produce high image quality for skeletal maturity assessment with excellent reliability and validity to inform consistent bracing recommendation in AIS. The workflow is applicable for busy daily clinic settings in tertiary scoliosis centres with reduced time cost, improved efficiency and throughput of the radiology department.

Published: August 2019

OBJECTIVES:

Although low fiber intake has been considered a risk factor for diverticulitis, prospective evidence is limited in women despite having a disproportionate burden of disease, with little known about variation in the protective effects according to food sources. We assessed the associations of intakes of fiber and major food sources of fiber including fruits and vegetables with risk of diverticulitis in a large cohort of women.

METHODS:

We followed 50,019 women in the Nurses' Health Study (1990–2014) who were aged 43–70 years and free of diverticulitis, cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease at baseline. Incident diverticulitis was identified through self-report with validity confirmed by review of medical records.

RESULTS:

We documented 4,343 incident cases of diverticulitis, encompassing 1,106,402 person-years of follow-up. Compared with participants in the lowest quintile, the multivariable hazard ratio of diverticulitis in the highest quintile of total fiber intake was 0.86 (95% confidence interval: 0.78–0.95; P-trend = 0.002). Fiber from fruits and cereals, but not vegetables, was associated with a decreased risk of diverticulitis. Furthermore, intake of total whole fruit intake and specific fruits such as apples/pears and prunes were associated with reduced risk of diverticulitis with a multivariable hazard ratio for diverticulitis of 0.95 (0.92–0.98; P-trend < 0.001) for every serving increase of total whole fruit intake per day.

DISCUSSION:

Higher intake of dietary fiber and fiber from different food sources, except for vegetable fiber, are associated with a lower risk of diverticulitis in women. A greater intake of whole fruit is also associated with reduced risk.

Published: August 2019

Mucormycosis is a rare and life-threatening fungal infection that is associated with high mortality in immunocompromised individuals. Although it most commonly affects lungs and paranasal sinuses, cases of invasive mucormycosis of the gastrointestinal tract have also been reported. Gastrointestinal mucormycosis (GIM) is most commonly found in the stomach, colon, and ileum. Etiologies of GIM include ingestion of spores and penetrating abdominal trauma, causing mucocutaneous disruption. We present a case of an immunocompetent man who presented to our hospital after a gunshot wound to the abdomen. His hospital course was complicated with the development of invasive GIM in the form of a large gastric ulcer, which caused gastrointestinal bleeding and eventually perforation.

An Analysis of Increasing the Purity of Ethylene Production in the Ethylene Fractionation Column by the Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Karimi Asadollah , Soltani Hadi , Hasanzadeh Aydin
Published: August 2019

Distillation columns are among the most common fractionation systems with numerous applications in petrochemical units. Hence, the optimization of these columns is a large step in reducing energy consumption and increasing process productivity. This study was, therefore, carried out as a case study of the simulation and optimization of the parameters influencing the ethylene production of the ethylene distillation column in an olefin unit. The two defined objective functions in this research were maximum mass flow of ethylene in the upstream flow of the distillation column and the minimum energy consumption in the distillation column. The optimal operating conditions for the independent variables were estimated using the NSGAII algorithm. The sensitivity analysis of the results was, thereafter, carried out and the optimization results introduced tray no. 71 as the most suitable feed location. In addition, the optimal reflux ratio and the optimal feed flow temperature were 5.26 and −18.49 °C, respectively. In this condition, the upstream ethylene flow rate and energy consumption in the unit increased by approximately 0.74 % and 0.9 % as compared to the initial conditions, respectively.
Amour et santé dans leBanquetde Platon : la notion d’harmonie
Authors: Saudelli Lucia
Published: August 2019

The structure as well as the themes of theSymposiumsuggest that Eryximachus’ speech plays a fundamental role in the dialogue. The problem is that what he says in praise of love is far from clear and continues to be a subject of debate. The aim of our article is to re-examine this speech to clarify its meaning and determine its contribution to Plato’s theory of love. First, we will analyse thetextof theSymposium, then we will investigate itsmedicalback-ground, and finally we will evaluate itsphilosophicalimpact. We will argue that Eryximachus’ speech, which draws inspiration from the Hippocratic Collection and the Pre-Socratic thought, is based on the concept of ‘harmony’: a balanced and organised unity of opposites. According to Eryximachus, love – conceived of as harmony – is the key to thehealthand thevirtueof human beings, as well as to the cosmic order and justice. Thereby the specificity of Eryximachus’ speech will become clear: Plato tries to combinescienceandmoralityby proposing, among other things, some considerations onbioethics.
Épictète et la doctrine des indifférents et dutelosd’Ariston à Panétius
Authors: Bénatouïl Thomas
Published: August 2019

While Epictetus’Diatribaiare not an ethical treatise, but aim chiefly at urging and training pupils to practice philosophy, they can also be used to reconstruct Epictetus’ positions about some of the questions raised within the Stoa after Zeno. This paper focuses on the problem of the contribution of indifferent (external or bodily) things to happiness and of the relationship between virtue and these indifferents. Against scholars claiming that Epictetus shared Aristo of Chios’ heterodox indifferentism, it is shown that Epictetus upholds Chrysippus’ ethical doctrine of thetelosand acknowledges that some indifferents are natural or have ‘value’ (axia) and should not be despised or ignored. In making this point, Epictetus uses the concept of ‘good reasonning’ about value which can be traced back to Diogenes of Seleucia (and Antipater of Tarsus). Moreover, when he describes how we can reach the goal of life through our natural faculties, Epictetus might also borrow Panetius’ explanation of thetelos.

In the paper I discuss three theses defended by A. Kenny: (1) in antiquity up to Aspasius or to Alexander of Aphrodisias the EE was considered the most important version of Aristotle’s ethical discourse; (2) the idea that the common books belonged to the one or to the other treatise; (3) the opposition between the theory of happiness of EN I and X and that of EE II and VIII.
Charting the rise and demise of a phonotactically motivated change in Scots
Authors: Maguire Warren , Alcorn Rhona , Molineaux Benjamin , Kopaczyk Joanna , Karaiskos Vasilios , Los Bettelou
Published: August 2019

Although Old English [f] and [v] are represented unambiguously in Older Scots orthography by  and  (or ) in initial and morpheme-internal position, in morpheme-final position  and / appear to be used interchangeably for both of these Old English sounds. As a result, there is often a mismatch between the spellings and the etymologically expected consonant. This paper explores these spellings using a substantial database of Older Scots texts, which have been grapho-phonologically parsed as part of theFrom Inglis to Scots(FITS) project. Three explanations are explored for this apparent mismatch: (1) it was a spelling-only change; (2) there was a near merger of /f/ and /v/ in Older Scots; (3) final [v] devoiced in (pre-)Older Scots but this has subsequently been reversed. A close analysis of the data suggests that the Old English phonotactic constraint against final voiced fricatives survived into the pre-Literary Scots period, leading to automatic devoicing of any fricative that appeared in word-final position (a version of Hypothesis 3), and this, interacting with final schwa loss, gave rise to the complex patterns of variation we see in the Older Scots data. Thus, the devoicing of [v] in final position was not just a phonetically natural sound change, but also one driven by a pre-existing phonotactic constraint in the language. This paper provides evidence for the active role of phonotactic constraints in the development of sound changes, suggesting that phonotactic constraints are not necessarily at the mercy of the changes which conflict with them, but can be involved in the direction of sound change themselves.
The dignity approach to human rights and the impaired autonomy objection
Authors: Caranti Luigi
Published: August 2019

There is little need to argue for the importance of human rights (HRs) in our world. If one looks at the role they play today, it is hard to deny that their impact has increased beyond anything the drafters of the 1948 Universal Declaration could have hoped or imagined. However, even though human rights today have a far greater impact on politics than in the past, the philosophical reflection that surrounds them has had a less fortunate history. It is doubtful whether we are today in a better position than we were in 1948 to answer any of the philosophical questions surrounding them, including, and perhaps most crucially, the question about their foundation. Why are human rights standards—of whatever sort—that we should adopt, or even just take seriously? The first two parts of this paper summarize my recent work on the above question (Caranti, 2017) and the third takes it a step further. I will 1) show why the main orientations in the contemporary philosophy of human rights all fail to yield a satisfactory foundation, 2) sketch an alternative foundation that exploits Kant’s account of human dignity in a rather critical way; and 3) address one major objection my approach is bound to attract (and in a certain form has already attracted). Since my foundation suggests that we have dignity (and as a consequence human rights) because we are autonomous, that is, capable of moral behavior, some scholars have argued that I am bound to the counterintuitive conclusion that people with a temporary or permanent lack of rational capacity, which would cause a condition of “impaired autonomy,” are not entitled to the protection of human rights. While this objection does nothing but reformulate in the language of human rights an old, classical objection to Kant’s ethics, replying to it requires mobilizing new intellectual resources.
The grammar of rights and the grammar of needs
Authors: Pinzani Alessandro
Published: August 2019

The paper is structured into four parts. Firstly I discuss the connection between the concept of injustice and the idea of human or individual rights. The claim is quite trivial: the language of rights has been and is still used as a strategy to demand correctives against injustice. Since this strategy has negative effects, of which concrete examples are given, I suggest a different grammar be adopted, the grammar of needs, which is what societies adopt in their justificatory discourses anyway. This leads into a consideration of how social criticism could start precisely from such discourses and why, under specific circumstances, the grammar of needs could represent a better strategy for this criticism than the language of rights does.
Topicality and the typology of predicative possession
Authors: Chappell Hilary , Creissels Denis
Published: August 2019

Recent accounts on the typology of predicative possession, including those by Stassen, recognise a Topic Possessive type with the possessee coded like the figure in an existential predication, and the possessor coded as a topic that is not subcategorised by the predicate and is not related to any syntactic position in the comment, literally: As for Possessor, there is Possessee. The Asian region is explicitly singled out as being a Topic Possessive area.

On the basis of a sample of 71 languages from the four main language families of continental East and Southeast Asia – Sino-Tibetan, Hmong-Mien, Tai-Kadai and Austroasiatic, contrary to these previous accounts of the distribution of the main types of predicative possession in the world’s languages, we argue that this area should rather be considered as showing a particularly high concentration of Have-Possessives, with the additional particularity that the verbs occurring in the Have-Possessive constructions in this linguistic area are polysemous verbs also used for existential predication.

After briefly reviewing Stassen’s typology of predicative possession, we discuss his account of the Topic Possessive type and then present five arguments for considering why the possessor NP of the existential/possessive verbyǒu有 in Standard Mandarin Chinese cannot be analysed as invariably occupying the position of a topic, and consequently, that the construction should be reclassified as an instance of the Have-Possessive type. In the final sections, the situation is examined for other Southeast Asian languages showing the same configuration for predicative possession and existential predication as Standard Mandarin, to the extent that data is available.
La autoría en el cine clásico de Hollywood
Authors: Lara María , Lara Antonio
Published: August 2019

Desde los comienzos del cine, en los que una sola persona se ocupaba prácticamente de todo, la organización de la creación de un film fue evolucionando, y las diversas funciones del proceso fueron aumentando y especializándose progresivamente. La noción de autoría colectiva es un concepto difícil de abordar y de comprender en toda su dimensión. En  este artículo se pretende analizarlo, tras estudiar de qué modo la estructura de colaboración en equipo de aquella época influía en sus creadores, y por qué razón se considera que unos son autores, mientras a otros se les niega esa condición. Para examinar a fondo cuál era el sistema de trabajo real de los distintos oficios se han consultado -además de estudios anteriores en libros, revistas y documentales-, las revistas profesionales, buscando entrevistas a directores de fotografía, guionistas, directores, productores… Se ha constatado que hay ciertas figuras clave como el productor, el director de fotografía, el montador o el supervisor de montaje cuyas aportaciones a la autoría han sido ignoradas pensando que su labor se ceñía a responsabilidades meramente técnicas, logísticas o de financiación. En concreto, el caso del productor es especialmente sangrante, pues incluso tiene fama de arruinar el trabajo del resto del equipo para obtener un mayor beneficio económico, cuando lo cierto es que desarrollaban funciones clave, que en la actualidad se atribuyen al director.

Authors: Gaspodini Icaro Bonamigo , Formiga Nilton Soares , Falcke Denise
Published: August 2019

Uma perspectiva de avaliação do preconceito frente às mulheres pode ser obtida por meio do Inventário de Sexismo Ambivalente (ISA). O sexismo ambivalente é composto por duas formas de manifestação: hostil e benévola. O objetivo principal do presente estudo foi avaliar a estrutura fatorial do sexismo ambivalente em uma amostra de psicólogos/as no Brasil. Além disso, também se avaliou o sexismo ambivalente em relação à idade, ao tempo de atuação e ao quanto o profissional se identificava com uma lista de áreas de atuação. Responderam a um questionário online 497 profissionais, entre 22 e 69 anos (M = 34.52; DP = 9.57), de todas as regiões do país. A análise fatorial confirmatória foi realizada por meio de diversos índices de qualidade de ajuste do modelo aos dados e as associações foram calculadas com correlações de Pearson. Os resultados mostraram indicadores psicométricos confiáveis para a estrutura bifatorial do sexismo ambivalente (hostil e benévolo) na amostra estudada. O sexismo esteve positivamente correlacionado com idade e não apresentou correlação com tempo de profissão. Quanto à identificação com a área de atuação, esteve negativamente correlacionado à Psicologia Social e Comunitária e positivamente correlacionado com Avaliação Psicológica, Neuropsicologia e Neurociência do Comportamento, Psicologia do Esporte, Psicologia do Trânsito, Psicologia Experimental e Psicologia Organizacional e do Trabalho.

PEDAGOGICAL PATTERNS FOR ASSESSMENT
Authors: Yordanov Krasen , Dicheva Silviya , Hadzhikoleva Stanka
Published: August 2019

Pedagogical patterns are models for describing pedagogical tasks and possible ways of solving them. They describe the solution in an abstract way so it can be used repeatedly in different situations and in different ways. Generally, patterns contain a detailed description of a problem, a problem analysis and possible solutions, good practices, for what situations the pattern is appropriate, consequences and possible problems of using it, etc. Assessment is an important element of the educational process that needs to be continually improved to achieve higher training quality. Pedagogical patterns for assessment aim to present different approaches to evaluation and different points of view. The article describes four pedagogical patterns for assessing learners’ knowledge and skills.

PENETAPAN SUSUNAN AYAT, SURAT DAN RASM AL-QUR’AN
Authors: Rahmi Yulia
Published: August 2019

Kodifikasi al-Qur’an pada masa Usman bin Affan melahirkan Mushaf Usmani sebagai hasilnya. Setelah berlalunya masa kodifikasi, muncul perbincangan hangat tentang susunan atau tertib ayat dan surat yang ada dalam al-Qur’an karena pada mushaf yang disusun oleh Usman dan timnya ditemukan perbedaan dengan susunan ayat dan surat yang ada pada mushaf-mushaf para shahabat lainnya. Para ulama sepakat tentang tauqifiynya susunan ayat-ayat al-Qur’an (sesuai dengan yang ditetapkan oleh Nabi). Begitu pula halnya dengan susunan surat-surat dalam al-Qur’an dipahami sebagai sesuatu yang bersifat tauqifiy dari nabi, walaupun para ulama terdapat perbedaan pendapat namun argumen atau dalil tauqifiynya susunan surat lebih kuat dibandingkan 2 argumen lainnya yang berpendapat bahwa susunan surat-surat adalah ijtihadiy seluruhnya atau pun pendapat yang menyatakan sebagiannya ijtihadiy dan sebagiannya tauqifiy. Pembicaraan lain yang muncul adalah tentang rasmi al-Qur’an pada mushaf Usman. Argumen dan dalil yang dikemukakan menunjukkan bahwa rasm al-Qur’an adalah istilah untuk pola penulisan al-Qur’an yang disepakati oleh Usman bukan  tauqifiy daru Nabi, mengikutinya tidak wajib namun demikian rasm Usman tetap harus dijadikan standarisai pola penulisan al-Qur’an.

Published: August 2019

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common chronic skin disease involving blockage and or inflammation of pilosebaceous glands which usually affects teenagers and young adults. Elevated sebaceous gland secretion, Propionibacterium acne colonization and inflammation, high androgen effects, and follicular hyperproliferation are the main pathogenic factors of AV. IGF-1 and insulin were studied to stimulate sebaceous lipogenesis. In the skin, besides inducing lipid production in human sebocytes IGF-1 also induces keratinocyte proliferation in vitro and in vivo. HOMA-IR is an examination to determine insulin activity in the basal state.Objective: To prove that high HOMA-IR value is a risk factor for the occurrence of acne vulgaris.Methods: This study is a case control analytic study by comparing HOMA-IR in subjects with AV (case group) and non AV (control group). AV is diagnosed based on clinical predilection. Insulin testing was carried out by the immulite 2000 device through the immunochemiluminescent method.Results: Mean HOMA-IR of case group is 2.63 ± 0.29 meanwhile in the control group was 1.71 ± 0.26 (p <0.001). Subjects with high HOMA-IR had 4.8 times higher risk to experience AV compared to patients with normal HOMA-IR values (p <0.001; 95% IK 2,765-8,332). Conclusion: HOMA-IR values in acne patients were higher than controls. A high HOMA-IR value is an AV risk factor.

Authors: Lu Xiaojuan , Wang Rui , Meng Fanli

Attrition milling was used to treat the starting powders of lithium-ion conductor Li6·4Ga0·2La3Zr2O12 (LLZO), which was prepared via solid-state reaction, in this study. The milling durations varied from 0 to 96 h and all the milled powders were then thermally treated at 850°C for 4 h. For the powders that had been milled for less than 96 h, only lanthanum zirconate (La2ZrO7) and lithium oxide (Li2O) formed. After being milled for 96 h, a cubic LLZO phase developed in the milled powders, which indicates that appropriate attrition milling is capable of inducing the formation of a cubic garnet phase at a low temperature of 850°C, which was much lower than the reported values in the literature (i.e. 1230°C). The total conductivity of the sample made from 96 h-milled powders was the highest and its activation energy was the lowest, which indicates that crystallization prior to pelletizing could boost ionic transport in the sintered lithium-ion conductor of LLZO.

Published: August 2019

In this work, a cold-cathode ion source was modified to produce a broad beam that could be successfully used in a variety of applications. The ion source features gave reliable, long-term, maintenance-free operation. The ion source was surrounded by a magnetic field to produce uniform plasma in limited volume at low gas pressures (10−3 torr). The output ion beam current was up to 700 μA, and the diameter of the cold cathode was broad (∼25 mm). The stainless steel cathode disk and the cylindrical anode were separated by a Teflon flange. The fabrication of the source was simple, and a stable discharge medium was obtained by adjusting the operating conditions, such as discharge voltage, magnetic field intensity and argon (Ar) gas pressure. Also, the output ion beam was measured at different acceleration voltages. Moreover, the ion beam profile is characterized at different magnetic field intensities.

Published: August 2019

Introduction. Experts suggest health care institutions switch focusfrom measuring burnout to measuring positive organizational psychology.Concerns include burnout being a late sign of organizationaldecline. The Baldrige survey is promoted by the U.S. Departmentof Commerce to measure positive worksite conditions (e.g., workforcewellbeing of industries, including health care and education).For years, the survey has been completed by managers within organizations,but now the same survey is promoted for completion byan organization’s workforce. We tested the structure of the Baldrigesurvey when completed by an academic health care workforce. Inaddition, we tested whether the results in an academic worksite correlatewith an example metric of an organizational mission.Methods.xIn 2015, our academic health center surveyed facultyand staff with the Baldrige survey. The validity of the Baldrige wastested with confirmatory factor analyses. Within the School of Medicine,responses for the Baldrige’s concepts were correlated againsta measure of organizational outcome: graduates’ assessments ofDepartmental educational quality.Results. The structure of the Baldrige survey did not validate whenassessed by a workforce (RMSEA = 0.086; CFI = 0.829; TLI = 0.815).None of its concepts correlated with learner reported educationalquality.Conclusions. The Baldrige survey, when administered to a workforcerather than managers, did not appear to measure workforcewell-being within an academic health care center. We discourage useof the current survey for this purpose. Kans J Med 2019;12(1):4-6.

Published: August 2019

Introduction. Computed tomography scans often are repeated ontrauma patient transfers, leading to increased radiation exposure,resource utilization, and costs. This study examined the incidenceof repeated computed tomography scans (RCT) in trauma patienttransfers before and after software upgrades, physician education,and encouragement to reduce RCT.Methods.xThe number of RCTs at an American College of SurgeonsCommittee on Trauma verified level 1 trauma center was measured.The trauma team was educated and encouraged to use the computedtomography scans received with transfer trauma patients as perstudy protocol. All available images were reviewed and reasons for aRCT when ordered were recorded and categorized. Impact of systemimprovements and education on subsequent RCT were evaluated.Results. A RCT was done on 47.2% (n = 76) of patients throughoutthe study period. Unacceptable image quality and possible misseddiagnoses were the most commonly reported reasons for a RCT. Preventablereasons for a RCT (attending refusal to read outside films,incompatible software, and physician preference) decreased from25.8 to 14.3% over the study periods.Conclusions. The volume of unnecessary RCT can be reduced primarilythrough software updates and physician education, therebydecreasing radiation exposure, patient cost, and inefficiencies in hospitalresource usage.

Published: August 2019

Introduction. Chemotherapy administered concurrently withradiotherapy for locally-advanced rectal cancer prior to surgeryis a standard of care approach. A fraction of patients after chemoradiotherapyachieve pathological complete remission. Our aim wasto evaluate patients treated only with a non-operative approach ofonly chemo-radiotherapy followed by observation at a communitycancer center.Methods. Medical charts of the patients who were treated for locallyadvanced rectal cancer and treated with chemo-radiation therapyalone from January 1, 2000 through May 1, 2017 at a Midwesterncancer center were reviewed. The clinical course of the patients wasfollowed from the time of the cancer diagnosis through their last availableclinical record.Results. A series of three cases were reviewed with locally-advanceddistal rectal cancers treated with a non-operative approach.Conclusions. Watchful waiting for patients with locally advanceddistal rectal cancer who have complete clinical response with neoadjuvantchemotherapy and radiation might be an effective treatmentstrategy.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a widespread epidemic. The World HealthOrganization estimated 10.4 million cases of tuberculosis in 2016,with 490,000 new cases of multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB.1 Theprimary presentation of TB is pulmonary. However, in the UnitedStates in 2014, 21% of TB cases were extrapulmonary with the mostcommon sites in descending order of incidence being TB lymphadenitis(38.2%), pleural (16.3%), bone and/or joint (10.4%), peritoneal(5.7%), genitourinary (5%), meningeal (4.5%), and laryngeal (0.2%).2

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a multisystem autoimmunedisorder characterized by arterial or venous thrombosis and pregnancymorbidity in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies(aPL).1 It can be primary or secondary. Primary antiphospholipid syndromeoccurs in the absence of any other related disease. Secondaryantiphospholipid syndrome occurs with other autoimmune diseases,such as systemic lupus erythematosus.The presence of aPL can be demonstrated in one of three ways:the presence of anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), β 2-glycoprotein Iantibodies (GPI), or lupus anticoagulant antibodies (LA).1 To meetclassification criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome, patients shouldhave one clinical criterion, either vascular thrombosis (venous orarterial) or pregnancy morbidity (at least one fetal death or pretermdelivery or three or more unexplained, consecutive, spontaneouspregnancy losses) and one laboratory criterion, the presence of aPLantibodies need to be seen twice and at least 12 weeks apart for confirmation.Neurological manifestations are common in APS and areattributed mainly to vascular thrombosis and aPL-induced neuronaltissue injury. The most common neurological presentation is an ischemiccerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack(TIA). However, clinical presentations including cognitive dysfunction,headaches, seizures, and psychosis may be atypical in some cases,which makes diagnosis more difficult.2In our case, a male patient initially presented with a neurocognitivedisorder, dementia, cerebral atrophy, and seizure of unknown etiology.A diagnosis of APS was made after a brain biopsy revealed microinfarctsand intimal fibrosis and an aPL antibody test was positive.
