Authors: Silva, PT, MSc Andréia C. O. , Oliveira, PT, PhD Claudia S. , Biasotto-Gonzalez, PT, PhD Daniela A. , Fumagalli, Eng, PhD Marco A. , Politti, PT, PhD Fabiano
Published: June 2019

Background and Purpose: The lack of clear knowledge about the etiology of nonspecific neck pain (NS-NP) strengthens the need for other mech-anisms, still poorly described in the literature, to be investigated. Therefore, a quantitative analysis of two cases of NS-NP in subjects with functiona dyspepsia was conducted in order to verify the immediate and seven-day postintervention effects of visceral manipulation (VM) to the stomach and liver on neck pain, cervical range of motion (ROM), and electromyographic (EMG) activity of the upper trapezius muscle. Case Description: Case A was an 18-year-old female with a complaint of nonspecific neck pain for one year, with reported pain on waking, momentary intermittent pain, and occasional symptoms of paresthesia in the upper limbs. Case B was a 25-year-old female with a complaint of cervical pain for one year, accompanied by pain in the unilateral temporomandibular joint, and medial thoracic region. Both cases presented functional dyspepsia.Outcomes: The results demonstrated (sub-jects A and B, respectively) a general increase in cervical ROM (range: 12.5% to 44.44%) and amplitude of the EMG signal (immediately postintervention: 57.62 and 20.78; post seven days: 53.54% and 18.83%), and an increase in muscle fiber conduction velocity immediately postintervention (4.44% and 7.44%) and a de-crease seven days postintervention (25.25% and 21.18%). For pain, a decrease was observed immediately postintervention (23.07% and 76.92%) and seven days postintervention (100% for both subjects). Discussion: A single VM provided important clinical improvement in neck pain, cervical spine range of motion, and EMG activity of the upper trapezius muscle, immediately and seven days postintervention in two NS-NP subjects with func-tional dyspepsia.

Association of Serum Tocilizumab Trough Concentrations with Clinical Disease Activity Index Scores in Adult Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Arad Uri , Elkayam Ori
Published: June 2019

Objective.

To determine whether serum trough concentrations of tocilizumab (TCZ) administered as a fixed-dose subcutaneous (SC) injection for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are associated with disease activity responses.

Methods.

We analyzed datasets from the Israeli branch of the multinational TOZURA study, which evaluated a weekly subcutaneous TCZ treatment regimen in a real-life clinical setting. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to evaluate associations between the TCZ levels and the study outcomes. Linear models and GEE were used to evaluate associations between patient characteristics and TCZ levels.

Results.

A significant association between the TCZ concentrations and the change in the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score was observed. In a multivariate binary GEE model, every increase of 10 µg/ml in the concentration of TCZ was associated with being in a state of CDAI remission or low disease activity (OR 1.41) versus a moderate/high disease activity state. An OR of 1.52 was associated with being in a state of Health Assessment Questionnaire–Disability Index remission. In univariate linear models, there was an inverse association between body mass index (BMI) and improvement in the CDAI score, and the BMI score was associated with lower TCZ concentrations. Patients who weighed > 100 kg had lower TCZ concentrations.

Conclusion.

In the first 24 weeks of treatment with SC TCZ injections, TCZ concentrations were associated with clinical improvement, while body weight and BMI were inversely associated with TCZ concentrations. Personalizing the dose of SC TCZ to body weight may improve outcomes of clinical disease activity in patients with RA.
Reversing Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Acute Intracranial Hemorrhage
Authors: Nestor Melissa A. , Boling Bryan
Published: June 2019

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a major source of morbidity and mortality, accounting for 10% of all strokes. Oral anticoagulation therapy, while necessary to prevent thromboembolic complications, increases the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and can potentially worsen bleeding in cases of acute hemorrhage. Before the introduction of direct oral anticoagulant agents in 2010, warfarin was the only option for oral anticoagulation. These new agents have an improved safety profile compared with warfarin but require different reversal strategies. Anticoagulation reversal in the setting of acute intracerebral hemorrhage is an evolving field. This article covers the most common direct oral anticoagulant medications, various available anticoagulant reversal strategies, and the latest guidelines for anticoagulation reversal in patients with acute intracranial hemorrhage.

Authors: Miller-Hoover Suzan R.
Published: June 2019

Pain management and sedation strategies have become more complex in recent years, with accompanying documented increases in morbidity and mortality. Consequently, various government agencies and professional associations have issued requirements or recommendations designed to ensure optimal and safe pain management in different populations. The pediatric nurse must understand the rationale behind these guidelines, which pain and sedation assessment tools are valid and reliable, how and when to use these tools, and the purpose and limitations of each tool. This article summarizes the recent recommendations, identifies valid and reliable pediatric pain and sedation assessment tools, and describes the appropriate use of these tools to provide safe and high-quality patient care.

Authors: Ganz Freda DeKeyser
Published: June 2019

Experiencing the end of life of a family member in the intensive care unit is clearly difficult. An important role of critical care nurses is to help family members through this challenging period. This article highlights a few clinically significant barriers and facilitators related to improving family experiences at the patient’s end of life that have received less attention in the literature thus far. Facilitators include specific aspects of communication, the nurse’s role as the coordinator of care, bereavement care, promoting a “good death,” and caring for health care providers. Barriers include medical uncertainty and differences in values and culture.

BACKGROUND/AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the effect of memorizing the Al Quran surah Thaha verse 25–28 on functional communication skills, independence, and quality of life in stroke patients with motoric aphasia disorders.

MATERIALS & METHODS: The study was conducted at Ja'far Medika Karanganyar General Hospital, Central Java, Indonesia for approximately 3 months, with a total sample of 102 motor aphasia stroke sufferers, divided into 2 groups (n = 51) as controls receiving medical therapy, (n = 51) intervention group who received medical therapy and were trained to memorizing the Al Quran. The time of the study was carried out for three months starting December 4, 2017 to Maret 21, 2018. Type of quantitative research, using experimental design, simple randomized the pretest-posttest control group design.

RESULTS: Based on the results of path analysis that memorizing the Al Quran significantly influences the quality of life in stroke patients with motoric aphasia disorders of (r = 0.735; p = 0.000), while family support is (r = 0.321; p = 0,000), functional communication is (r = 0.017; p = 0.618) and independence by (r = 0.035; p = 0.305). Thus the direct influence of memorizing the Al Quran and family support for the quality of life is better, without having to go through functional communication and the level of independence as mediation.

CONCLUSION: Memorizing the Al Quran surah Thaha verse 25–28 is very effective for improving functional communication skills, independence, and quality of life in stroke patients with aphasia motoric disorders.

The American yam bean (Pachyrhizus spp.) is a legume crop that is exclusively used for its storage roots. The seeds are inedible due to presence of toxic rotenone. It produces high storage root yields comparable of major root crops like cassava or sweetpotato. And flower pruning more than doubles its root yield performance. Using twenty five yam bean accessions, the current study aimed to determine root yield stability and adaptability, and presence of yam bean production mega environments in Uganda. Trials were planted at three stations, Namulonge, Serere, and Kachwekano during two consecutive seasons of 2011. Fresh storage root yields were significantly different (p < 0.05) across locations with the ideal location being Namulonge (fresh storage root yield of 10.1 t ha-1), followed by Serere (8.0 t ha-1), and Kachwekano (3.1 t ha-1). Results of AMMI analysis indicated the presence of genotype-by-environment interaction for fresh storage root yield. Through AMMI estimates and GGE visual assessment, genotype 209017 was the highest yielding with mean yield of 20.7 t ha-1. Genotype 209018 with mean yield of 15.5 t ha-1 was the most stable and adapted accession in the entire discriminating environment in Uganda. From the environmental focusing plot, the six environments were grouped into two putative mega environments for yam bean production.
Possibilities of Using Fuel Cells for Energy Generation in Agricultural Greenhouses: A Case Study in Crete, Greece
Authors: Vourdoubas John
Published: June 2019

The possibility of using fuel cells powered by solar hydrogen for energy generation in greenhouses with reference to the island of Crete, Greece has been examined. Change of fossil fuels used in greenhouses with renewable energies and sustainable energy technologies is very important for mitigation of climate change. Various renewable energy sources and low carbon emission technologies including geothermal energy, biomass, solar photovoltaics and co-generation systems have been used so far. Use of solar photovoltaics for generating electricity consumed in water electrolysis for hydrogen production has been investigated. Hydrogen feeding a proton exchange membrane fuel cell co-generating electricity and heat was used in a greenhouse located in Crete, Greece. The system could be useful in a stand-alone greenhouse with annual specific energy consumption at 150 KWh/m2. A solar photovoltaic system with nominal power at 33.33 KWp powering an electrolytic cell at 5.71 KW could produce annually 2,083 kg hydrogen. The hydrogen could feed a fuel cell at 1.71 KWel generating annually all the electricity required in a greenhouse of 1,000 m2. Co-produced heat could also cover 11.11% of the annual heat requirements in the greenhouse. It was found though that the overall electric efficiency of the system was very low at 4.5%. The low overall efficiency and the size of the solar-PV required indicate that the abovementioned energy system is not suitable in commercial agricultural greenhouses.
