Patient Experiences When Preparing for Discharge Home after Total Knee Replacement
Authors: Causey-Upton Renee , Howell Dana
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Following total knee replacement (TKR), patients must prepare quickly for discharge to home via education and rehabilitation. Patient needs may not fully be met prior to discharge after TKR surgery. The purpose of this descriptive study using transcendental phenomenology methods was to understand patients’ experiences when preparing to return home after TKR surgery. Method: Data was collected using semi-structured interviews that occurred 1 to 2 days prior to discharge in patients’ hospital rooms. Four participants were interviewed prior to discharge and interviews were transcribed verbatim for data analysis. Data analysis and data collection were concurrent, permitting subsequent interviews to be altered as needed based on results from previous participants. Thematic analysis of the interview transcriptions was conducted to identify significant meaning statements through a process of horizonalization. Significant statements were organized into shared themes among participants. Results: Three themes emerged: being supported for discharge home; having confidence in self, family and health care staff; and persevering: overcoming obstacles. Participants overall felt prepared for their surgery and the post-operative phase. The following factors increased readiness for discharge: having prior positive experience with TKR through the experiences of others, attending pre-operative education, interacting with knowledgeable staff, and having the appropriate support at home. Some patients were unprepared for the amount of pain they experienced after surgery. Conclusions/Recommendations: Health care providers should educate patients about safety for the home environment, adaptive techniques for functional tasks, and when to resume normal activities at home. Other implications include encouraging patients to attend pre-operative education, addressing patients’ previous experiences with TKR, both positive and negative, as well as providing realistic information regarding pain after surgery.
Aquatic Therapy for a Patient with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome: a Case Report
Authors: Tito Christine , Hess Judith
Published: September 2021

Background and Purpose: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) can have a debilitating effect on an individual’s quality of life. The purpose of this case report is to describe the use of interval training in an aquatic environment to decrease the symptoms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Aquatic therapy provides benefits for individuals with cardiovascular issues, mainly through the principle of hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure aids in shunting the blood from the extremities back to the heart, thus increasing cardiac output while reducing the individual’s heart rate. Description: An 18 year-old female high school student who had been experiencing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome symptoms for approximately one year. These symptoms prevented her from participating in school or recreational activities. Intervention: The patient underwent 11 sessions of an aquatic interval program. Her subjective report, heart rate, blood pressure, and rate of perceived exertion were monitored throughout each session. Outcomes: After completing physical therapy, the patient had attained all of her functional goals including standing for 45 minutes, walking between classes at school, and attending her prom. The patient reported that she had not had a fainting spell in over 4 weeks. Despite these functional gains, the patient’s Quality of Life score, as measured by the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire (a condensed version of the original World Health Organization Quality of Life-100), declined in the following categories: physical health, psychological health, and environment. Discussion: The patient’s exercise-specific heart rate and rate of perceived exertion decreased as sessions progressed, demonstrating an increased activity tolerance. It is hypothesized that the positive effects of hydrostatic pressure on the cardiovascular system contributed to the improvement in exercise tolerance and ultimately to her overall conditioning and activity tolerance. The results of this case report suggest that aquatic therapy may be an appropriate exercise modality for patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Continued research on the effects of aquatic therapy on the symptoms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome is warranted.
Combining Online Education with International Service Learning to Increase Cultural Competence
Authors: Keane Elaine , Provident Ingrid
Published: September 2021

PURPOSE: Although international service learning has the capacity to promote a variety of important professional behaviors, merely visiting another country does not automatically result in these benefits. METHODS: This article describes an evidenced-based course which used pre-trip preparation in combination with a nine day service learning trip to Ecuador to develop cultural competence among 6 occupational and 6 physical therapy students. Pre-trip preparation included online and in-person components to increase self-awareness, awareness of other cultures, knowledge about Ecuadorian culture and skill-building. On-site activities included exploration of the physical and social context in addition to providing occupational and physical therapy treatment in a variety of settings. The authors collected qualitative information by reviewing responses to prompts on an online forum. A pre-test/post-test format using the Inventory for Assessing the Process of Cultural Competence Among Healthcare Professionals-Student Version (IAPCC-SV) was used to gather quantitative information. RESULTS: A paired-samples t-test was used to compare the group’s pre-test and post-test scores on the IAPCC-SV. There was a statistically significant difference in the scores between the pre-test (M=57.72, SD+ 6.66) and post-test (M=67.54, SD+ 3.55) with the change in mean score of 9.81 resulting in t= -491, df = 10 and p ≤.001. DISCUSSION: The results showed a change in students from the level of culturally aware to culturally competent based on the scale provided in IAPCC-SV. The experience resulted in an increased desire to continue intercultural practice. Health care professionals have a responsibility to be culturally competent. This article will assist health care professionals to reflect on the advantages of joining an international service learning trip to expand their self-awareness and awareness of other cultures. Professors may reflect on how pre-trip preparation may enhance existing service learning experiences.
The influence of pre-professional curricula on components of the Physical Therapist Clinical Performance Instrument
Authors: Goldwasser Molly , Covington Kyle
Published: September 2021

Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate any association between pre-enrollment curricula and clinical performance in physical therapy professional schools. Specifically, does the type of undergraduate institution (as defined by Carnegie classification type) influence performance on components of the Physical Therapist Clinical Performance Instrument? Methods: The study methods include a retrospective quantitative review of student educational records from the Duke Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) classes of 2013 to present. Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to determine significance of the dependent variables. Results: Results indicated that when the Carnegie Classifications were consolidated to five categories, there was only a significant difference in score for one of the 108 possible scales in the CPI (Professional Behavior, Final 3). Students who attended an undergraduate institution with a professional focus (category 5) scored significantly (p=.033) higher on this Professional Behavior scale than did students who attended an undergraduate institution with an arts and sciences focus (category 1). When the Carnegie Classifications were consolidated to four categories, two scales showed significant results (Professional Behavior, Final 3; Accountability, Final 3). Conclusions: The study fails to confirm the hypothesis that the type of undergraduate institution influences performance on components of the Physical Therapist Clinical Performance Instrument. There is virtually no difference on clinical performance based on undergraduate institution type.
Identifying the Pathway to Conservative Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in a Tertiary Public Hospital in Australia: A Retrospective Audit
Authors: Beaumont Tara , Goode Kate
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse symptoms are prevalent in women in Australia and the estimated healthcare cost is considerable. Internationally accepted best practice evidence supports a trial of conservative Physiotherapy treatment with a Physiotherapist trained in the management of pelvic floor dysfunction before surgical options should be considered. Existing referral pathways in the tertiary healthcare system to access conservative Physiotherapy treatment require direct referral from Gynaecology staff. Objective: To identify the pathway to conservative pelvic floor physiotherapy for women referred to a tertiary hospital in Australia with incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse symptoms following existing referral pathways. Results: Attendance data for the period January to June 2015 identified 63 women as being primarily referred for incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse by their local healthcare provider. Half of these 63 women (n = 31) were referred on to Physiotherapy for conservative management; the other half were not. The time between local healthcare provider referral to specialist Gynaecology appointment ranged from 49 days to 351 days (average 169.6 days). Of the 31 women referred to Physiotherapy, the majority (n = 22, 70.9%) were referred on the day of their initial Gynaecology consultation, the 9 remaining women waited between 2 to 126 days for Physiotherapy referral. The shortest pathway from local healthcare provider referral to Physiotherapy consultation was 64 days; the longest pathway was 402 days. Of the 31 women who were not referred to Physiotherapy, 18 (58%) proceeded directly to surgery. Conclusion: This audit demonstrates that existing referral pathways for women referred with incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse create lengthy delays between local healthcare provider referral and access to Physiotherapy services. Only half of those women who would be appropriate for a trial of conservative therapy are being referred to Physiotherapy which is in direct contrast to the widely accepted best practice guidelines for the management of pelvic floor dysfunction mandating conservative therapy as a first line approach for these conditions. The opportunity to implement an advanced scope model of care that promotes more timely access and earlier commencement of conservative Physiotherapy for these women would significantly improve the clinical care pathway for this cohort of patients in the tertiary healthcare setting.

The percentage of pension receipts that is still low is experienced by many developing countries in the continent of Asia and Africa in terms of providing pension funds for their citizens. This study seeks to analyze the effect of growth in pension fund assets in OIC member countries. The measurement of the growth of pension fund assets is viewed through the aspects of the number of stock traded, the equity index, the inflation rate, male labor force participation, female labor force participation, the working age, and the retirement age. In addition, this study uses a panel data regression analysis method with the period 2010 to 2019. The results show that there are variables of male labor force participation, female labor force participation, working-age, and retirement age that have a significant effect. Male labor force participation, working-age, and retirement age have a positive effect on the growth of pension fund assets, while female labor force participation has a negative effect on pension fund assets. It can be said that the demographic aspects can influence the growth of pension fund assets in OIC member countries in the period 2010 to 2019.

The therapeutic features of acute kidney injury in the elderly
Authors: Blebea Nicoleta Mirela , Stăniguț Alina , Mitea Gabriela
Published: September 2021

The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasing in people of all ages, but patients over the age of 65 are more likely to develop AKI due to structural and functional renal failure associated with aging, comorbidities, and reduced ability to recover. For this reason, the functionality of many organs tends to decrease. Older patients with AKI have an increased risk of mortality in both the short and long term, and survivors are patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who eventually progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This paper aims at the therapeutic management of the elderly suffering from AKI. Maintaining adequate hydration and avoiding nephrotoxic agents are helpful in preventing AKI in the elderly. There are no proven treatment measures for AKI in the elderly, except for supportive therapy.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) being one of the rapidly emerging gastrointestinal concerns, needs early surveillance as the instantaneous inflammatory response in the pancreas may lead to severe pathological clinical phenotypes. Failure in monitoring AP may lead to severe inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) which is seen amongst one-fifth of individuals requiring extensive management and palliative care to prevent the disease progression. However, the major question of defining a definitive pool of molecular targets for AP remains unanswered thus far. As a first step towards designing a definitive pool of molecular targets for AP, we aim to compile the reported evidence of potential signaling molecules in AP. During AP, the inflammatory response-inducing factors trigger multiple signaling molecules that cause the pancreatic tissue assault. As a counter-active response, the host body's immune system initiates the resolution of inflammation and repair of the damaged tissue by stimulating various anti-inflammatory signaling molecules. The communication between the components of these pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory signaling pathways opens up a wide window for the identification of various prognostic markers and molecular targets for the management of AP. This review collectively presents the available prognostic biomarkers in detail for a better prognosis of AP.

It is the greatest miracle of the Holy Prophet (SAW) and as a challenge to the human beings and jins, no one could bring an example like this. One part of this miracle of the Holy Quran is its correlation among the verses and suras. Islamic scholars like; Imame Razi, Allama Zarakshi, Imame Buqa’I, Imame Syuti, Allama Anwar Shah Kashmiri and others say that The Holy Quran is correlated from start to end and it is the prove that it is the word of Allah. In the lexical meaning “correlation” means “being alike” or “to bring into order” while idiomatically it discusses the correlationship among some parts of the Holy Quran with other and its hidden relation. All the verses of the Holy Quran are correlated in one way or the other. This correlation is sometimes very clear but sometimes it is vague. Some of these hidden correlation are named sometimes but many times it cannot be named but they can be understood by having a natural ability and vast study of the Holy Quran. This research article discusses these correlations which can be discussed and named and many of the scholars (specially the exegesits) have discussed in their books which are pointed to here.

Importance: Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of unintentional deaths of children ages 1 and older, particularly children with health care needs.

Objective: To explore family caregivers’ experiences and current practices while transporting children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Design: A concurrent nested mixed-methods approach was used to gain insight into caregiver experiences.

Setting: Participants completed an online Qualtrics survey.

Participants: A convenience sample of 54 caregivers of children with ASD from 17 U.S. states.

Results: Themes that emerged include sensory behaviors of children, education related to child passenger safety, and participation in the community. Statistically significant findings suggest a correlation between caregivers (n = 39) being less likely to participate in activities away from home if the child had attempted to elope (p = .013), displayed aggressive behaviors (p = .005), or demonstrated self-injurious behaviors (p = .001).

Conclusions and Relevance: The findings suggest a correlation between caregivers limiting the distance traveled during vehicular transportation and behavioral safety concerns. If caregivers must limit travel, they may refrain from accessing the community and engaging in leisure pursuits.

What This Article Adds: The findings suggest that therapists who treat children with ASD should be familiar with child passenger safety restraints, particularly for elopement.
Shrinking Civic Space for Human Rights Defenders in Afghanistan Following the U.S. Military Drawdown in 2014
Authors: Yasa Abdul Rahman
Published: September 2021

Civic space, an imperative to a democratic society where citizens can exercise their basic rights, is now under attack in Afghanistan. The fall of the Islamic Emirate in 2001 by a coalition of the U.S.-led military intervention grounded the rise of a vibrant environment for civil society and human rights defenders (HRDs). Promoting and safeguarding democratic values, mainly freedom of speech, assembly, and association, enshrined within a progressive constitutional framework, had turned to the topic of the day. The heavy presence of foreign troops with the money influx put strong support behind the nascent Afghan CSOs, HRDs, and democracy advocates to speak up for the many repressed Afghans.

However, the drawdown of foreign troops proceeded by protracted political infighting between Afghan leaders over power-sharing, shaped a grim milestone for civic space and human rights in 2014. The Afghan security forces had learned but not enough to take full security responsibility. Meanwhile, the Afghan leaders were wrestling over power in Kabul while an emboldened Taliban was threatening civic space by making more territorial gains in provinces. Consequently, the security situation deteriorated dramatically, triggering widespread public protests. To respond, the government resorted to the use of force against protesters, and democratic advocates and introduced legal restrictions to prevent any prospective unrest. Finally, the U.S. military withdrawal has doubled concerns over the loss of the rights under civic space. Therefore, the United States should stay, not forever, but until the Afghan peace negotiations succeed.
Past Attacks, Future Risks: Where Are We 20-years After 9/11?
Authors: Fox Sarah Jane
Published: September 2021

his year, 2021, marks the 20th anniversary since 9/11, recorded as the ‘day that changed the world.’ Security remains an area where governments and airlines are continuously struggling to stay ahead, but since 9/11 there have been other challenges to the air transport industry – not least Covid-19.

This research primarily critically reviews the actions taken in the aftermath of 9/11 from the US and EU perspective, before consideration is given to the current/present situation, the new, and emerging challenges being faced. The research is undertaken through a legal/policy perspective.

The findings are that internationally and regionally, society is not prepared for another attack and that there remain a number of challenges that stand to impact aviation; ultimately, more collective action is needed to mitigate for such risks going forward.

Purpose

The study aimed to (1) verify maturity status effects on training performance indicators in young soccer players; (2) compare the anthropometric, physical fitness, and training performance indicators before and after 10-week training; (3) investigate relationships between anthropometric measures, maturity status, and performance indicators.

Methods

The study involved 34 male soccer players (aged 17 ± 2 years). Biological maturation was determined by skeletal age, with left hand radiology. Body height, mass, and adiposity were determined. Physical fitness was measured with field tests, including intermittent aerobic fitness, repeated sprint ability, and lower limb power. The participants were monitored daily over 10 weeks (preseason) through rating of perceived exertion.

Results

Average maturity players showed greater training load (p = 0.04) and physical training volume (p = 0.04) than early maturity players. Mature players presented higher physical training volume than early maturity players (p = 0.04). We verified better performances in intermittent aerobic fitness (p < 0.001, d = 1.086), vertical jump (p = 0.007, d = 0.584), best sprint time (p = 0.003, d = 0.661), average sprint time (p = 0.002, d = 0.676), and sum of the sprint times (p = 0.002, d = 0.675) after the 10-week preseason. Physical and technical-tactical training volumes were moderately-largely related to best sprint time (r = –0.48, r = –0.55, respectively). Technical-tactical training volume was largely related to intermittent aerobic fitness (r = 0.54).

Conclusions

Advanced maturity and mature players presented greater training load and physical training volume than early maturity subjects. Players exhibited improved physical fitness after the 10-week preseason. Technical-tactical training volume showed a large association with the intermittent aerobic fitness test.

Magnets are widely used in electric devices such as motors, generators, speakers, microphones, scanning devices etc. Magnetic field produced by a current configuration like solenoid, circular coil and straight conductor find applications in engineering. In this article, techniques of visualizing the magnetic field patterns due to the above current configurations is demonstrated. These experiments are beneficial to identify suitable current configurations to produce a specific field pattern for applications in scanning and other applications. These experiments can be easily conducted in classroom. Students acquire practical knowledge on relationship between current and magnetic fields. This enables them to inculcate application skills to design current distributions to obtain a specific magnetic field pattern.
