Evaluation of Factors that Increase the Severity of Dysmenorrhoea among University Female Students in Maiduguri, North Eastern Nigeria
Authors: Okoro Roland , Malgwi Helen , Okoro Glory
Published: September 2021

Dysmenorrhoea is defined as painful menses in women.1 Dysmenorrhoea is frequently encountered in young women around adolescence. It affects the quality of life (QOL) of women during reproductive age. The aetiology of primary dysmenorrhoea is not precisely understood, but most symptoms can be explained by the action of uterine prostaglandins, particularly PG F2α. It may be associated with other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, back pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and fainting. These symptoms could be very severe and social activity is very limited during menstruation, reducing quality of life in women. Severity of symptoms is usually assessed by grading of dysmenorrhoea as mild, moderate, and severe according to the degree of pain and analgesic requirement. Risk factors for dysmenorrhoea are early age at menarche (< 12 years), age < 20 years, nulliparity, heavy or prolonged menstrual flow, smoking, positive family history, obesity, attempts to lose weight, depression/anxiety, disruption of social networks among others. A study on factors influencing the prevalence and severity of dysmenorrhoea in young women had been conducted in Sweden by Sundell et al. Another study was conducted by Okusanya et al on menstrual pain and associated factors amongst undergraduates of Ambrose Ali University Ekpoma, South- south, Nigeria. These studies were carried out in other areas; however, to the best of our knowledge, no study on the factors that influence severity of dysmenorrhoea has been conducted at the University of Maiduguri. Dysmenorrhoea is the leading cause of recurrent short-term school absence in adolescent girls and a common problem in women of reproductive age.7 Knowledge of the severity factors is important because of the potential for intervention. It is against this background that we undertook this study. The objectives of the study, therefore, were to evaluate the factors that increase the severity of dysmenorrhoea among university female students, and to determine if increased severity of dysmenorrhoea affects the academic performance of the participants.

Published: September 2021

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of a single interprofessional education (IPE) seminar on student attitudes toward interprofessional education (IPE) at a small northeastern university that housed an entry-level Master in Occupational Therapy (MOT) program. Method: Investigators used the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) to determine attitudes of thirty-six MOT students after attending an interprofessional seminar.Results: Participant response rate of MOT students was 88.9% percent. The analysis of data revealed no significant differences between MOT student attitudes toward IPE pre and post IPE seminar. Conclusion: Several factors are discussed that may have contributed to the lack of statistical differences. Growing interest in IPE related to clinical care warrants explorations into various issues raised by this study regarding implications for health care professional education, training, and patient care.

Authors: Gorgon Edward James , Madriaga Gilbert , Gomez-Cailao Minerva , Abdon Levin , Boniquit Mary
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The ability to maintain standing balance with a moving base of support and while making rapid postural adjustments is important for independence in various functional activities. Clinical tests and measures have not addressed this ability in children with disability. This pilot study examined the feasibility and reliability of the Four Square Step Test (FSST) as a test of dynamic balance in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Method: Four children with CP (Gross Motor Function Classification Scale levels I-II) were tested on the FSST by 3 assessors on the first occasion (interrater reliability) and repeat-tested by 1 assessor after 2 weeks (test-retest reliability). Six children with typical development (TD) were tested on a separate occasion to explore any between-group difference in performance. Results: The FSST was easy to setup, required no specialized equipment, could be completed in 5 minutes, and might be carried out by clinicians with limited experience in pediatric therapy. It demonstrated excellent interrater reliability (ICC = 0.832) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.979) in children with CP. Compared with FSST times for children with TD (mean = 9.12 ± 2.67 seconds), times for children with CP (mean = 18.38 ± 9.02 seconds) were significantly slower (p = 0.019, Mann-Whitney U = -2.345). Conclusions and Recommendations: The pilot study provides initial evidence on the potential usefulness of the FSST as a test of dynamic standing balance in children with CP. This warrants further investigation of the clinimetric properties of the FSST using an adequate sample size.
Consideration for Lumbar Disc Degeneration and Herniation in Sports
Authors: Majcen Ziva , Pungartnik Tanja Rauter , Sarabon Nejc
Published: September 2021

Lower-back related injuries in an athletic population are common and may have severe implications for the athletes sporting career. The focus of this work was to review epidemiology, intervention strategies, and recommendations for return to practice and competition for athletes with lumbar disc degeneration and herniated disc. Conservative treatments for discogenic degeneration and lumbar spine herniation are generally sufficient for athletic populations to restore functional movement. Athletes that fail to respond to conservative measures may consider lumbar discectomy, with high levels of return to pre-competition levels observed following effective surgery. Surgical procedures such as spinal fusion and disc replacement require careful consideration, and should only be recommended if the athlete fails to respond to vigorous conservative treatments. Spinal disc implants have durability and mechanical loading concerns, whereas spinal fusion may ultimately prevent participation in contact sports. Specific guidelines for return to practice and competition remain poorly defined, thus future investigations should address this gap in knowledge. Return to sports should be carefully recommended after the athlete demonstrates sufficient improvements in neuro-physiological, biomechanical, and psychological domains. The correct rehabilitative exercise programme is vital to the rehabilitation of athletes following injury, and should consider frequent monitoring of pain, range of motion and muscle function.
Assimilation of the Patient Rights Law and Code of Ethics into Israeli Physical Therapy Services
Authors: Jacob Tamar , Zilberstein Ilana
Published: September 2021

The ethical conduct of physical therapists is usually based on intuition rather than on theoretical knowledge. This study aimed to examine to what degree rules of ethics anchored in the Patient Rights Law and in the Physical Therapy Code of Ethics in Israel have been assimilated in physical therapy (PT) services. A qualitative study based on personal semi structured interviews with national directors of PT services in Israel was conducted. The directors think that the ethical conduct of physical therapists is based mainly on intuition and on self-perceived ethics rather than on learned principles. In their opinion, the Patient Rights Law and the PT Code of Ethics, as well as the activity of the Ethics Committee of PT, have probably contributed to raising awareness of the need to promote the issue of ethics, but there are still no structured training programs on this topic in any of the Health Maintenance Organizations. (HMOs). Collaboration between the Ethics Committee of PT and representatives of the clinical field and of academe has the potential to advance the knowledge, thinking and discussion on ethics within all the community in all PT facilities. Part of this process is the assimilation of ethical rules in the daily practice of physical therapists.
Professional Behavior In Physical Therapist Educational Programs: Perspectives of Selected Senior Faculty
Authors: Phelan Tamara
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze how selected senior instructors in physical therapist educational programs define and seek to impart information on professional behavior. Methods: A qualitative case study approach was used to gather data from eight instructors teaching in four physical therapist educational programs in a selected region. Each interview was analyzed as an individual case study, followed by a cross case analysis to identify common themes. Results: Interpretational analysis using a process of constant comparison revealed nine common themes: 1) Instructors found it difficult to broadly define professional behavior. 2) Instructors expect students to be on time. 3) Instructors expect students to speak and act with courtesy and respect. 4) Instructors expect students to communicate appropriately. 5) Instructors expect students to dress appropriately. 6) Instructors expect students to participate in class. 7) Instructors consciously model professional behavior as a way to communicate their expectations. 8) Instructors give instructions and provide students with feedback about professional behavior. 9) Instructors do not attach a specific grade to professional behavior. Conclusions: Although instructors indicated a lack of confidence in consistency regarding professional behavior expectations, the themes that emerged in this study fit within existing descriptions of professional behavior for clinical physical therapists. Instructor perceptions of strategies for conveying information about professional behavior to students were consistent with existing literature on modeling and explicit teaching. .

Authors: Broadbear James , Broadbear Barbara , Lyde Adrian , Mills Sharon
Published: September 2021

Hypertension is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and various other conditions. Approximately 70 million Americans are hypertensive. Among women age 18 and over, 31.7% have high blood pressure (BP) and only about 60% of those women have it under control. The purpose of this evaluation was to understand blood pressure screening procedures among Illinois WISEWOMAN Program (IWP) providers. Procedures at primary care providers (PCP) compared to obstetrician/gynecologists (OB/GYN) were of interest. A qualitative approach was used featuring interviews with allied health staff members who conduct blood pressure screenings. The focus of the interviews included the use and understanding of The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7) guidelines, BP screening procedures, and perceptions of the IWP. Twenty allied health professionals who conduct blood pressure screenings with IWP participants were interviewed. Transcripts of these interviews were made and a detailed analysis was conducted.
The Current Role of Orthoptists: A Systematic Review
Authors: Stanhope Jessica , Gregory MaryAnne , Murphy Karen
Published: September 2021

Purpose: This review aimed to determine the tasks performed by orthoptists, the types of patients they manage, their work settings, the professionals they work with, and the professionals they receive referrals from and refer to. Methods: A systematic search of seven databases was conducted to identify all studies regarding the role of orthoptists that were published in English in peer-reviewed journals from January 2003 to January 2013. Reference lists of all included studies, as well as studies regarding ocular conditions which were excluded as they did not specifically report the role of orthoptists, were screened manually to identify additional relevant studies. Key orthoptic organisations (International Orthoptic Association, British & Irish Orthoptic Society, Orthoptics Australia, the Canadian Orthoptic Society, and the American Association of Certified Orthoptists) were asked to provide any literature relevant to this review. Studies were allocated to the National Health and Medical Research Council hierarchy of evidence. Systematic reviews were appraised using the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine Systematic Review Critical Appraisal Sheet, and level II or III_1 studies appraised with the PEDro scale. Data pertaining to the patient’s ocular conditions and co-morbidities, tasks performed, work settings, colleagues/ teams, and referrals were extracted and reported descriptively. Results: No relevant studies were identified; hence this is an empty review. Conclusion: No studies have been published (January 2003-January 2013) investigating the role of orthoptists. There is, therefore, an urgent need for research into this area to ensure that policy-makers can best utilise orthoptists within their health services and to ensure that the training of orthoptists matches the professional roles in which they are likely to undertake.

Authors: Bierwas Debra , Leafman Joan , Wallace Lisa , Shaw Donald , Fehrer Steven
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Evidence-based practice is a required component of student physical therapist education. Practice applying the five steps of evidence-based practice to patient care (formulate question, retrieve evidence, appraise evidence, integrate evidence, evaluate outcomes), most effectively performed during clinical education, must occur for students to become proficient. Clinical instructor use of evidence-based practice is essential to assure that student physical therapist practice occurs during clinical education. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess self-reported evidence-based practice use by physical therapy clinical instructors and examine whether an association exists between professional characteristics and evidence-based practice use. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional, descriptive study using an electronic survey to collect data on clinical instructor professional characteristics and evidence-based practice use. Results: Respondents included 376 physical therapists who were clinical instructors in the United States. Participant responses for frequency evidence-based practice steps use ranged from never to frequently. Specifically, respondents reported integrating evidence into clinical instruction: never 2.1% (n = 8); rarely 6.4% (n = 24); occasionally 13.3% (n = 50); sometimes 28.7% (n = 108); and frequently 49.5% (n = 186). There was no difference in evidence-based practice use as the result of age or highest degree. Respondents who were American Physical Therapy Association members or held an American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties certification reported using some of the evidence-based practice steps more frequently than those who were not. Discussion and Conclusion: Although the majority of respondents in this study reported using evidence-based practice to some extent, there was great variability. Student physical therapists may be exposed to evidence-based practice during clinical education since the majority of respondents, considering their role as clinical instructors, reported evidence-based practice use. However, exposure cannot be guaranteed for every student because some respondents reported never using evidence-based practice. Educational program use of supplemental learning activities during clinical experiences may facilitate student practice of all five steps of evidence-based practice during clinical education.

Authors: Markov P.I. , Onishchenko I.N. , Sotnikov G.V.
Published: September 2021

A result of numerical simulation of acceleration of the test electron bunch following a sequence of relativistic electron bunches in the rectangular dielectric resonator when filling the drift channel with plasma of different density is provided. We have found out that at change of plasma density the linear growth of energy gain of test bunch electrons is observed. It is connected with structure ordering of longitudinal accelerating electric field in the resonator and also with increase in its amplitude. It is due to that at periodic injection of drive bunches on resonator axis the areas with the increased plasma electrons density are formed.

Access to safe drinking water is still a farfetched reality in most of the developing countries. Storage of water for safe drinking is as important as clean and purified Water. The concept of storage of water in vessels made of gold, silver, copper, or mud dates to ancient times. In some recent studies it has also been proved that storing water in vessels like copper, gold, silver etc leaches into the water and hence fortifies the quality. This effect of storage in various metals was also mentioned in Ayurveda under Samskara. Susruta, in his treatise has mentioned about use of copper and silver for water storage. The way, use of metals and earthen vessels as water storage can benefit every living being, similarly, use of plastics on the other hand can be proven detrimental to health. It has been proven that plastic and other metals if leaches more than limit as set by WHO, becomes toxic and harmful for the body. The present article has highlighted the effect of various storage vessels on the quality of water and its impact on human body as mentioned in Ayurvedic classics. It has also tried to critically analyse the recent studies and research work on water storage and its effect on body due to heavy metal poisoning.

Published: September 2021

Abstract

Due to the influence of degeneration and chronic diseases of elderly people, a higher chance of fall-related injuries occurs among them. Falling is one of the accidents frequently confronted by elderly people, so this issue is worthy of concern. We propose diverse models to analyze falls through a wearable device. Then, we use Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) biomedical sensors for fall detection to build a system for monitoring elderly people’s falls caused by dementia. The system can meet the safety needs of elderly people by providing communication, position tracking, fall detection, and pre-warning services. This device can be worn on the waist of an elderly people. Moreover, the device can monitor whether or not the person is walking normally, transmit the information to the rear-end system, and inform his/her family member via a cellphone app while an accident is occurring. Considering the risks on the fall test of elderly people, this study adopts activities of daily living (ADL) to verify the test. According to the test results, the accuracy of fall detection is 93.7%, the false positive rate is 6.2%, and the false negative rate is 6.5%. To improve the accuracy of fall detection and the timely handling of appropriate referrals, may be highly expected to reduce the occurrence of fall-related injuries.

O termo neofascismo vem sendo utilizado para classificar tanto o governo Bolsonaro quanto vertentes do pensamento reacionário atual. Este artigo se propõe a um resgate do debate teórico entre marxistas acerca do fascismo como forma de extrair critérios gerais de interpretação relevantes ao presente. Apresentamos ao leitor três teses em relação ao fascismo histórico: ao fascismo precede uma particular crise de hegemonia da sociedade burguesa; o fascismo se caracteriza por possuir uma base de massas constituída, fundamentalmente, pela pequena burguesia; o fascismo serve aos interesses do grande capital monopolista.
Alemania frente a la doble crisis de la eurozona
Authors: Castillo Jose Manuel
Published: September 2021

El presente trabajo es un análisis de del discurso en política europea dirigido por las autoridades alemanas en el marco de la crisis de deuda de la eurozona y la crisis de la Covid-19. Su objetivo es dilucidar el porqué del cambio discursivo llevado a cabo por el Gobierno de Angela Merkel. De no aceptar la emisión de eurobonos y apostar por la austeridad más estricta como salida a la crisis del euro, a apoyar la emisión de deuda mancomunada por parte de la Comisión Europea para financiar los planes de recuperación de las economías más damnificadas por la pandemia. Un repaso histórico de la concepción hegemónica ordoliberal en las políticas monetarias alemanas, así como la comprensión de la coyuntura político-económica actual, demostrarán la razón real del cambio discursivo alemán en política europea y su posible continuidad en el tiempo.
