Introducing JOSPT Cases
Authors: Hughes Christopher , Keeton R. Benjamin , Porter Kris
Published: February 2020

We are pleased to introduce JOSPT Cases, a peer-reviewed, online quarterly journal that will launch in 2020. Case reports have educational value in their descriptions of practice that clinicians can immediately relate to and apply. Well-written cases reflect inquiry, problem solving, and clinical decision making from examination and diagnosis through treatment and outcomes. By creating a case-based forum for clinically relevant discussion, while maintaining the scientific rigor that characterizes the flagship journal, JOSPT, we believe that JOSPT Cases will significantly improve the translation of research to practice in the field of rehabilitation.

Authors: Beischer Susanne , Gustavsson Linnéa , Senorski Eric Hamrin , Karlsson Jón , Thomeé Christoffer , Samuelsson Kristian , Thomeé Roland
Published: February 2020

Objective

To investigate the association between sustaining a second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and (1) time to return to sport, (2) symmetrical muscle function, and (3) symmetrical quadriceps strength at the time of return to sport in young athletes after primary ACL reconstruction.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Methods

Patient demographics and results from 5 tests of muscle function (2 strength tests and 3 hop tests) were extracted from a rehabilitation registry. A questionnaire was sent to athletes (15–30 years old) who were involved in knee-strenuous sport before the injury and had undergone primary ACL reconstruction to determine time of return to knee-strenuous sport (preinjury Tegner Activity Scale score of 6 or greater). We used the Cox proportional hazard regression model to analyze time to event.

Results

One hundred fifty-nine (32% of the initial sample) athletes (mean ± SD age, 21.5 ± 4.4 years; 50% female) were included. Athletes with a higher preinjury Tegner Activity Scale score had a higher rate of second ACL injury (hazard ratio = 2.1; 95% confidence interval: 1.2, 3.6; P<.01). Athletes who returned to knee-strenuous sport before 9 months after reconstruction had a higher rate of second ACL injury (hazard ratio = 6.7; 95% confidence interval: 2.6, 16.7; P<.001). There was no association between symmetrical muscle function or quadriceps strength and second ACL injury.

Conclusion

Returning to knee-strenuous sport before 9 months after ACL reconstruction was associated with an approximately 7-fold increased rate of sustaining a second ACL injury. Achieving symmetrical muscle function or quadriceps strength was not associated with new ACL injury in young athletes. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(2):83–90. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9071

Authors: Buchanan Vicki , Rawat Mohini
Published: February 2020

A 61-year-old woman was referred to physical therapy by a podiatrist who suspected a posterior tibialis degenerative tear. To further examine the irritable posterior tibial nerve, a musculoskeletal ultrasound examination was performed, showing a vascularized focal lesion suggestive of a nerve tumor. The patient was referred back to the referring podiatrist, who ordered magnetic resonance imaging, which confirmed the schwannoma of the posterior tibialis nerve.

Many High-Quality Randomized Controlled Trials in Sports Physical Therapy Are Making False-Positive Claims of Treatment Effect: A Systematic Survey
Authors: Bleakley Chris , Reijgers Jonathan , Smoliga James M.
Published: February 2020

Objective

To examine the risk of false-positive reporting within high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the sports physical therapy field.

Design

Cross-sectional.

Methods

We searched the Physiotherapy Evidence Database for parallel-design, 2-arm RCTs reporting positive treatment effects, based on null-hypothesis significance testing, and scoring greater than 6/10 on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. No restrictions were made on pathology, intervention, or outcome variables. Sixty-two of 212 RCTs reported positive effects in at least 1 outcome variable. We estimated false-positive risk (FPR) with an online calculator, based on number of participants, P value, and effect size. For each study, FPR was estimated using a range of prior probability assumptions: 0.2 (skeptical hypothesis), 0.5, and 0.8 (optimistic hypothesis).

Results

We calculated the FPR associated with 189 statistically significant findings (P<.05) reported across 44 trials. The median FPR was 9% (25th–75th percentile, 2%–24%). Sixty-three percent of statistically significant results (119/189) had an FPR greater than 5%, and 18% (35/189) had an FPR greater than 50%. Changing the prior probability from skeptical to optimistic reduced the median FPR from 29% (25th–75th percentile, 9%–56%) to 2% (25th–75th percentile, 0.6%–7.0%).

Conclusion

High-quality RCTs using null-hypothesis significance testing often overestimated treatment effects. The median FPR was 9%: in 1 in 10 trials, the researchers falsely concluded that there was a treatment effect. Future RCTs in sports physical therapy should be informed by prestudy odds and a minimum FPR estimation. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(2):104–109. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9264

Authors: Bullock Garrett S. , Uhan Jerneja , Harriss Elinor K. , Arden Nigel K. , Filbay Stephanie R.
Published: February 2020

Objective

To investigate the relationship between baseball participation and health (musculoskeletal, general, and psychological health) and to identify research gaps in the existing literature.

Design

Systematic scoping review.

Literature Search

Medical databases and gray literature were systematically searched from inception to November 2018.

Study Selection Criteria

All studies that investigated constructs related to the health of current or former baseball players were included.

Data Synthesis

Data were extracted for thematic summaries.

Results

Ten thousand five hundred seventy-four titles/abstracts were screened, and 678 studies were included. Ninety percent of articles included only baseball players playing in the United States, 34% of articles investigated professional baseball players, and 11% studied college baseball players. Five hundred eighty-three (86%) studies investigated musculoskeletal health, 77 (11%) general health, and 18 (3%) psychological health. Injury incidence (injuries per 1000 athlete exposures) ranged from 0.7 to 3.6 in professional, 4.7 to 5.8 in college, and 0.8 to 4.0 in high school baseball. Among baseball players, 31% to 50% reported regular tobacco use. There was limited research investigating psychological health in current or former baseball players at all competition levels.

Conclusion

Almost 90% of all articles investigated musculoskeletal health, with few articles studying general or psychological health. Baseball players have high tobacco, alcohol, and drug use compared to the general population, which may have negative health outcomes. Little is understood about the long-term musculoskeletal, general, and psychological health of baseball players. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(2):55–66. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9281

Published: February 2020

Antibiotics resistance is an emerging problem in the management for infectious diseases. Patients are many a time prescribed with antibiotics without knowing that particular antibiotic sensitivity pattern with respect to the infectious microorganism. This study aims to detect the type of microbes causing certain infections in the hospital and also to detect the sensitivity pattern of the antibiotics to these microbes. We conducted a prospective study for six months on the neonates who were admitted in NICU. The blood samples were collected from these neonates before the administration of antibiotics. The swab samples were also collected from various places of this hospital to detect the types of microorganisms present in the hospital and to study the sensitivity of the antibiotics toward these microbes. The antibiotics used in this study were Gentamicin, Ampicillin, Cefotaxime, Amikacin, Piperacillin, Meropenam, and Vancomycin. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae were found to be the most common pathogens implicated in neonate's infection. All the organisms showed absolute sensitivity mostly to Ampicillin, Gentamicin, and Piperacillin and resistant to Cefotaxime, Amikacin, and Vancomycin. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Hemophilus infleunzae, Kleibseilla pneumoniae, Escherichia coli were the most common microorganism found in the swab samples collected from the hospital. Most of these microorganisms shows sensitivity towards Ampicillin, Gentamicin, and Meropenam but were resistance to Cefotaxime, Amikacin, and Vancomycin. A routine bacterial surveillance of prevalent organisms and the study of the sensitivity patterns of the pathogens responsible for neonatal infection should be made an essential component for neonatal care. This information from many parts of the country will be important in policymaking on antimicrobial use not only locally but also internationally.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menggali proses, respon serta dampak penanaman nilai-nilai pancasila melalui penerapan historical approach di perguruan tinggi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dimana proses pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi yang hasilnya kemudian dianalisis menggunakan analisis model interaktif. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa proses penanaman nilai pancasila di Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta dilakukan dalam beberapa tahapan yang terdiri dari receiving, responding, valuing, organization, characterization. Pada dua tahapan awal kompetensi dosen merupakan faktor utama yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan proses tersebut, sedangkan untuk tiga tahapan terakhir peran mahasiswa menjadi sangat dominan sebagai penentu keberhasilan karena proses tersebut tidak dapat diintervensi oleh seorang dosen. Penerapan pendekatan sejarah dalam proses pembelajaran pancasila di Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta mendapatkan respon yang sangat positif dari mahasiswa hal ini disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor yaitu kemampuan dosen dalam menyampaikan peristiwa sejarah dan kontemporer yang nantinya dikaitkan dengan nilai pancasila, penggunaan media kekinian, serta tidak dibatasinya ruang gerak mahasiswa untuk tetap berpikir kritis. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian pula didapatkan bahwa penerapan historical approach berdampak positif bagi peningkatan daya berpikir kognitif mahasiswa, hal ini dibuktikan dari hasil evaluasi terhadap 60 mahasiswa yang mengikuti mata kuliah pancasila dimana dari total keseluruhan mahasiswa yang mengikuti mata kuliah tersebut terdapat 90% orang mahasiswa yang dapat menjawab dengan benar berbagai pertanyaan yang bersifat teoritis terkait pancasila dan 100% mahasiswa dapat menjawab berbagai permasalahan kontemporer dengan menggunakan nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam pancasila. Selain itu, penerapan pendekatan tersebut juga berdampak positif terhadap nilai afektif dalam diri mahasiswa yang tercermin dari peningkatan kedisiplinan dan tingginya rasa saling menghormati di tengah perbedaan, dan juga berpengaruh baik terhadap peningkatan psikomotorik yang ditunjukkan dari meningkatnya kemampuan berkomunikasi mahasiswa dalam proses diskusi.

Optical and Structural Characterization of Bi2FexNbO7 Nanoparticles for Environmental Applications
Authors: Araujo Scharnberg Allan Ramone , Carvalho de Loreto Adrison , Kopp Alves Annelise
Published: February 2020

Photocatalytic materials development is very important in the environmental perspective. They can be employed in clean energy production by hydrogen generation as well as in wastewater treatment by photocatalysis. One of the key subjects in this area is the advancement of materials with low band gap, thus the catalyst can use the sunlight more efficiently. Based on this issue, this research aims to develop photocatalysts based on bismuth, niobium and iron (Bi2FexNbO7), analyze the influence of iron concentration (x = 0, 0.8, 1 and 1.2) and characterize through optical and structural analysis. The powder samples were synthetized by sol gel method. Band gap estimation was performed throw UV-Vis analysis and Kubelka-Munk method. XRD technique was employed to phase determination and structural characterization. The catalyst with no iron (Bi2NbO7) presented a mix of three phases from reagents and a band gap of 3.14 eV. The iron addition promotes crystalline photocatalysts with high visible light absorption ability and hence lower band gap, 2.09 eV. Further analysis must be performed; however, based on structural and optical proprieties, these materials can efficiently be employed both in wastewater treatment and hydrogen production.
Zeolite Based Air Electrodes for Secondary Batteries

Published: February 2020

In recent years, secondary batteries received considerable attention as promising technology for energy storage in combination with renewable energy sources. The oxidation of carbon in conventional air electrodes reduces the life of secondary batteries. One possible solution for overcoming this problem is the replacement of carbon material with zeolite.Zeolite is a natural or synthetic porous material with crystalline structure which provides the necessary gas permeability. The required hydrophobicity of the electrode is ensured by mixing zeolite with an appropriate amount of polytetrafluoroethylene following a specially developed procedure. The main purpose of the present research is to discover the optimum level of hydrophobicity (impregnation) of zeolite. Moreover, appropriate amount of PTFE will ensure better mechanical stability and long charge/discharge cycle life.The results from this study show that the replacement of carbon with zeolite in the gas diffusion layer is a promising direction for optimization of the bi-functional air electrode. The relationship between the particle size and the hydrophobicity of the electrode was found. It was found that the mechanical stability and hydrophobicity of the electrode improved with the replacement of the emulsion powder. The gas permeability is maintained in the norms, which guarantees the good performance of the electrode. More than 200 charge/discharge cycles were reached.
Female Objects and Feminist Consciousness for the Purpose to Awake Readers’ Awareness: A Comparative Analysis between Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber and Anne Sexton’s Transformations
Authors: Fenglin Liu
Published: February 2020

The female object, as a symbolic image created by male authors to reduce the threat brought by females towards patriarchy, has become a method to express male sexual and domestic fantasies. However, in the fairy tale adaptation by two mid-twentieth century female authors-Angela Carter and Anne Sexton, the female object is used to evoke feminist consciousness. Although former studies have covered some feminism issues, for instance, the feminist awareness through the mirror image in Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber, and the direct metaphors such as “doll” and “soap pop” which lead to female objectification in Anne Sexton’s Transformations, little research has compared the distinctive psychological impacts that the narrative forms between the two mentioned texts have on readers. In the first section of this paper, how both authors deconstruct the female stereotypes and how they reinterpret modes of female agency in the original Grimm’s fairy tales have been examined. Based on the writers’ perspective, the first section would also explore the expression of female objects in their works. As for the second section, I would mainly focus on the psychoanalysis of Lacan’s mirror stages, and yet cover the awakening processes presented in the mirror images and symbols composed in the two adaptations. In the third section, the different narrative strategies utilized by Carter and Sexton in order to stimulate readers’ responses towards feminist consciousness would be illustrated.
Corporate Sustainability Disclosure: A Leather Industry Perspective
Authors: Omoloso Oluwaseyi , Wise William R. , Mortimer Kathleen , Jraisat Luai
Published: February 2020

This study aims to identify and compare the key social, economic and environmental sustainability practices in the leather industry. Content analysis was used to analyse extracted sustainability information from either the website, annual report, sustainability report or corporate social responsibility report of six leather-related companies. Review of existing literature assisted in categorising different practices under social, economic and environmental sustainability, while an identification of patterns among practices followed. Findings reveal that companies are observing a good practice of either dedicating a section of their website to revealing their sustainability activities or utilising their sustainability reports or annual reports. Energy efficiency, waste management and reduction of greenhouse gases emission were the most occurring environmental sustainability practices. Health and safety occurred as the dominant social sustainability practice, while economic sustainability practices have not been well defined, providing an opportunity for future research. The study provides a useful resource for managers and companies in the leather supply chain to learn from brands that have been embarking on sustainability efforts and assist them to a better understanding of the concept, in readiness for strategy formulation, implementation and reporting.

Published: February 2020

Steady host–guest inclusion complexes have been produced with medicinally important guest molecule theophylline within aqueous α-Cyclodextrin and HP-β-Cyclodextrin. α-and HP-β-Cyclodextrins have been established with favorable structural features for inclusion with Theophylline which include diversified applications in modern science such as controlled delivery in the field of pharmaceuticals, food processing, pesticides, foodstuffs etc. Theophylline is one of the most widely accepted drugs for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) worldwide, even if it has been used clinically for many years. With both α and HP-β-Cyclodextrins it is found that 1:1 hosts-guest inclusion complexes are formed with the guest molecule theophylline. The construction and quality of the inclusion complexes have been characterized by using conductivity measurement, surface tension study, and Job’s method. The inclusion phenomenon has been confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy, proton NMR study. Association constants and thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated for the created inclusion complexes by ultraviolet spectroscopy.

Authors: Martendal Fernanda Frasson , Silva Eva Cristina Leite da
Published: February 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo de identificar a abordagem da difusão arquivística no escopo da literatura em Arquivologia, Ciência da Informação e Educação. Para isso, utiliza a lógica de pesquisa qualitativa e, como instrumento de coleta de dados, a revisão de literatura. Contextualiza a difusão arquivística como função central para os arquivos atuais e vinculada diretamente com aspectos culturais e educativos, que fazem do arquivista um formador, das práticas no arquivo um processo de ensino-aprendizagem e do usuário, um sujeito ativo e interagente. A partir da recuperação de artigos publicados em periódicos classificados com estrato A1, foi possível coletar uma série de termos que representam de que maneira os artigos abordam a difusão arquivística. Como considerações finais, inferiu-se que, até princípio de 2018, nos periódicos com estrato A1, foram publicados artigos que abordam a difusão como vinculada à cidadania, processo, ação educativa, pesquisa, cultura, identidade, o que comprova a tendência do arquivo de tornar-se um espaço cada vez mais social, para e pelos usuários da informação.

Subclinical mastitis has a higher prevalence than clinical mastitis in many small farmers in Bogor city, and it could reach more than 80 percent. However, the application of teat-dipping could help small farms to control subclinical mastitis prevalence. The objective of this study was to measure the cost of teat-dipping application as subclinical mastitis control in small dairy farms. The partial budget was employed based on the experimental data collected in small dairy farms in Bogor. A number of cows were the basis of simulation for the mean of milk value and the application cost. The findings show an incentive for farmers to apply teat dipping in their farms. The incentive of teat dipping application could be improved to prevent sub-clinical mastitis infection and increase milk production.

Bogor District is one of the endemic areas of anthrax cases in Indonesia. The mass vaccination campaign on livestock including goats and sheep needs to be done to prevent the spread of the disease. The willingness of farmers to participate is the main key to the success of this vaccination campaign. This study aimed to identify the factors that influence the willingness of goat and sheep farmers to participate in vaccination programs against anthrax in their farms. A total of 60 goat and sheep farmers were randomly selected from 3 villages located in the region with the highest incidence of cases in Babakan Madang Subdistrict. Data was collected through direct interviews using a structured questionnaire. Analysis to determine risk factors was carried out by chi square test and continued by calculating the value of relative risk (RR) to measure the magnitude of the influence of these factors. The results showed that the factors that influenced the farmers to be willing to participate in the anthrax vaccination program were history that had been directly counseled with RR values 2,844 (95% CI = 1,547-5,288) and history of having constrained to vaccinate their livestock with RR values 1,960 (95% CI = 1,203 - 3,193). Based on these findings it is recommended to increase farmer participation in mass vaccination programs against anthrax can be done through increasing communication, information and education activities and minimizing constraints for farmers to vaccinate their livestock.

This study aimed to find out the compoSItion and distribution of thin-tailed sheep’s carcas tissue fed with green concentrate feed on the different breeding system. A total of 20 female thin-tailed sheep around 1 year old with an average initial weight of 18.3 ± 2.01, intenSIvely and semi-intenSIvely nurture for 119 days. Feed was given in the form of brachiaria humidicola grass and green concentrate with commercial concentrate as a control. Green concentrates and commercial concentrates are given in the morning at 07.00 and grass is given at 11.00, with a ratio of 40:60%. Concentrates were given with different nurture systems was carried out with four treatments, namely five sheep grazed for 6 hours with commercial concentrate feed (SIKK), five sheep grazed for 6 hours with green concentrate feed (SIIZ), five sheep grounded with grass feed and commercial concentrates (IKK), and five sheep are grounded with grass feed and green concentrate (IIZ). The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized factorial pattern with 2×2 treatments and 5 replications with initial weights as a correction factor. The results showed that sheep that were given green concentrates had lower weight, carcass weight, lower fat weight compared to commercial concentrates. However, with semi-intenSIve nurture it produces weight and percentage of muscle that is not much different from sheep that are given commercial concentrates.
