Published: April 2019

The lamellar keratoplasty is the first operation of choice under selective pathology of cornea. In view of satisfactory results of endothelium surgery similar operations are implemented at more earlier stages that increases need in donor tissue. The life-span of population increases hence number of patients in need of cornea transplantation also increases and number of intact cadaver corneas decreases because of stable increasing of number of surgical interventions at the frontal section of eye. The purpose of study is to analyze operations of partial transplantation of Descemet's membrane with endothelium (½ DMEK and ¼ DMEK). Material and methods. The analysis was applied to the results of 10 operations ½ DMEK (semi-DMEK, hemi-DMEK) and 10 operations ¼ DMEK, implemented at eyes of 20 patients with primary endothelium dystrophy. The average age of patients made up to 64,9±10,4 years. The average visual acuity prior to implementation of partial DMEK amounted to 0,14 ± 0,08, average central thickness of cornea, according data of optical coherent tomography, made up to 669 ± 91 мкм. Results. In 16 out of 20 cases of partial DMEK, restoration of transparency of cornea, resorption of edema and increasing of visual acuity was achieved. In other 4 cases, during one week after partial DMEK, a subtotal DMEK was implemented. In 16 cases, average visual acuity increased up to 0,8 ± 0,3 three months later after operation. Conclusion. The techniques of partial transplantation of Descemet's membrane with endothelium (¼ DMEK и ½ DMEK) are efficient for treatment of primary endothelium pathology of cornea and permit to apply donor's material as much as possible rationally.

NEUROLOGICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF PRIMARY CHOLESTATIC LIVER DISEASES
Authors: Shulpekova Julia O. , Shirokova E. N , Rusyaev V. Yu , Damulin I. V
Published: April 2019

The most typical and early signs of primary cholestatic liver diseases are represented by itching, prominent asthenia and autonomic dysfunction. These abnormalities significantly affect the quality of life. The data obtained relate itching and asthenic syndrome in cholestatic liver diseases to pathological changes of the central nervous system (CNS). The special scales for assessment of severity of asthenic manifestations, itching and quality of life in primary biliary cholangitis were developed. Besides, memory defects and loss of concentration ability are quite often seen even in non-cirrhotic patients. These defects have a tendency to progress without obvious associations with biochemical and histological parameters of liver disease severity. Some investigators underline the association of asthenic and cognitive disorders with autonomic dysfunction, systolic hypotension and impaired brain perfusion. The origin of itching in cholestatic liver diseases is largely attributed to central nociceptive sensitization and an increased tone of endogenous opiate system. Pathogenetic mechanisms of CNS dysfunction in non-cirrhotic patients with cholestatic diseases may involve neuroinflammation, hypovitaminosis D and E, influence of secondary hyperparathyroidism and exсessive bile acids concentration in blood.

Published: April 2019

This review presents modern strategies for the prevention and treatment of cardiotoxicity induced by the most commonly used anticancer drugs such as anthracycline antibiotics, monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors. There are a large number of conflicting data on ways to overcome the cardiotoxicity of anticancer drugs. The creation of a complex of diagnostic measures will allow to identify the earliest signs of heart damage during chemotherapy and to develop timely preventive measures to prevent cardiotoxicity, improve the quality of life and prognosis of patients. Currently, a large number of small publications on the prevalence, prediction and prevention of cardiotoxicity in cancer patients, including the primary and secondary prevention of cardiotoxicity, are available. Beta-blockers and inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme most often use as cardioprotective agents. There is evidence of poor tolerability of treatment with these drugs for young patients. Most drugs reduce blood pressure, which can adversely affect the health of patients without associated hypertension. Coordinated work between cardiologists and oncologists is needed to create common terminology, to define cardiovascular events and create registers, meta-analyzes, generally accepted recommendations, guidelines for the management of patients at risk of developing cardiotoxicity. This review used published articles the Scopus, Pubmed database, articles from The New England Journal of Medicine, Annals of Oncology, and periodicals of the Russian Federation over the past 10 years, as well as publications from previous years.
Searching for panacea to management ills: Trust models revisited
Authors: Hasnain Sheikh Shamim
Published: April 2019

This is a literature-based paper addressing a few trust models and studies. Trust is a multi-disciplinary subject occupying a pivotal position in the academic and corporate worlds. Many researchers have examined its impacts on various organisational issues. The impact of trust is much context specific. Some researchers have identified the factors of perceived trustworthiness as capability, benevolence and integrity. It reveals that competence, openness, concern and reliability are the dimensions of trust. Availability, competence, consistency, discreetness, fairness, integrity, loyalty, openness, promise fulfilment and receptivity are the ten conditions of trust, identified by the researchers. Some trust models find that high trust reduces competitive behaviour among the individuals and the organisations. Trust failure involves huge penalties to the organisations. Researchers agree that trust is a strong monitoring tool and it reduces expenditures, and leads to higher productivity. Future researchers may empirically examine various trust dimensions and models in various contexts. Keywords: Trust, trust models/studies, fairness

Authors: Dillahunt-Aspillaga Christina , Haun Jolie , Lind Jason D. , Patel Nitin , Antinori Nicole , Luther Stephen L.
Published: April 2019

Background/Purpose

Military veterans experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and increased rates of unemployment compared to civilian populations. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is identified as a key outcome of long-term health and well-being. The purpose of this article is to (a) explore how employment concerns of veterans with deployment-related (DR) PTSD are associated with HRQOL outcomes, and (b) discuss implications for rehabilitation research, policy, and education.

Objective

To (a) explore how employment concerns of veterans with deployment-related (DR) PTSD are associated with HRQOL outcomes and (b) discuss implications for rehabilitation research, policy and education.

Setting

Three Veterans Health Administration Centers (VHAs).

Design/Method

Descriptive qualitative study examining employment-related domains identified through focus groups.

Findings

Sample consisted of 58 veterans with DR-PTSD (N = 9). Veterans report that HRQOL is affected by PTSD and unemployment. Specifically, themes emerged in the areas of anger, social roles/relationships, task performance, avoidance/isolation, hypervigilance, control over the environment, violence/aggression, and sleep interference.

Conclusion

Currently, there are limited measures of HRQOL and employment in veterans with DR-PTSD. This understanding may contribute to development of a more relevant and sensitive measure of DR-PTSD HRQOL, which may facilitate improved research, program evaluation, and clinical practice. Rehabilitation counselors are well positioned to provide services to veterans, but may lack the educational foundation and training needed to support this unique population. Development of military-specific training and curriculum is needed.

Authors: Silva Marc A. , Dillahunt-Aspillaga Christina , Patel Nitin , Garofano Jeffrey S. , Martinez Kristina M. , Lynn Courtney A. , Rechkemmer M. Brad , Nakase-Richardson Risa
Published: April 2019

Background

TBI is a leading cause of disability among veterans and active duty military personnel, and presents an obstacle to community reintegration. Prior studies examining adult survivors of TBI pursuing postsecondary education have methodological flaws that limit the understanding the scope and severity of sequelae experienced by persons with TBI who attend college.

Objective

To describe (a) physical and cognitive functioning, and (b) postconcussion and mental health symptoms in veterans and military personnel (V/M) with traumatic brain injury (TBI) enrolled in postsecondary education programs after discharge from rehabilitation.

Method

Cross-sectional study. Participants were recruited from five Veterans Affairs (VA) Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers, enrolled in the VA TBI Model Systems parent study, and attending school during follow-up (N= 155). Outcome measures included the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI), Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist-Civilian version (PCL-C), Patient Health Questionnaire-Depression (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7).

Findings

Participants were mostly male (92.9%) and White (81.4%), with mild (40.0%), moderate (11.5%), severe (34.5%), or very severe TBI (23.0%). Depression, anxiety, PTSD, and postconcussion symptoms were lowest in participants with very severe TBI and highest in those with mild TBI. There were no significant differences in FIM across TBI severity levels.

Conclusion

This study supports the need for rehabilitation counselors, educators, and administrators to prepare future practitioners to deliver tailored services to student V/M with TBI. These services can facilitate successful community reintegration and transition into civilian school settings. Symptom profiling may inform personalized cognitive interventions to enhance these students’ academic success.

Authors: Smith Tammy Jorgensen , Berkman Karen , Richmond Susan , Fitzpatrick Megan , Dillahunt-Aspillaga Christina J.
Published: April 2019

Background/Purpose

Autism spectrum disorders encompass a group of neurodevelopmental disorders whose defining features include deficits in social communication across multiple contexts (American Psychological Association, 2011). The prevalence of autism has been increasing at an alarming rate stemming from changes in diagnostic criteria, genetic risk factors, and growing awareness of the condition.

Objective

This primary objective of this article is to provide an overview of a customized transition program, The Learning Academy (TLA), for students with autism.

Method

Pretest/posttest survey tool.

Findings

Fifty-eight percent (n=15) of respondents reported employment after attending TLA. Of these individuals, 80% (n=12) report they are currently working. Data from a prior survey year captured information from a larger percentage of TLA graduates (85% response rate;n=51) with a total of 63% (n=32) reporting that they had obtained competitive or self-employment.

Conclusions

Preliminary evidence indicates that the TLA program is effective in improving postsecondary education and employment rates in graduates. Implications for rehabilitation counseling research, policy, and education are presented.

Authors: Koch Lynn C. , Hill Julie , Rumrill Phillip D.
Published: April 2019

Background

Rehabilitation counselors can anticipate providing services to growing numbers of individuals who have disabilities that were acquired in (or exacerbated by) severe weather events. The impact of these events on individuals’ psychosocial and vocational functioning is an important factor to address in holistic rehabilitation assessment and planning.

Objectives

The objectives of this article are to (a) provide an overview of how severe weather events contribute to the onset and exacerbation of chronic illnesses and disabilities, (b) identify populations most at risk of experiencing the negative consequences of severe weather events, and (c) consider implications for rehabilitation counseling policy and practice.

Methods

We reviewed literature on severe weather events and their impact on human health and functioning to better understand the impact of these events on affected individuals.

Results

The review revealed that severe weather events have increased in frequency, intensity, and length, and this trend is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. Severe weather events are an emerging cause of disability that requires unique assessment and planning considerations for rehabilitation counselors.

Conclusions

The increase in recent decades of severe weather events as a cause or contributor to disability has numerous implications for rehabilitation counseling practice that are discussed in this article.

Published: April 2019

A importância da geomorfologia em geociências e áreas afins faz com que os geomorfólogos busquem a representação da superfície terrestre o mais próximo possível da realidade. Os diferentes métodos atualmente utilizados para mapear o modelado terrestre, e que se apropriam da subjetividade para definição das classes geomorfológicas, dificultam uma representação de unidades geomorfológicas com elevado nível de similaridade. O presente trabalho apresenta um método que permite uma maior acurácia na representação do modelado terrestre isento de subjetividade na delimitação das unidades geomorfológicas. O desenvolvimento de uma rotina para delimitação de classes da amplitude altimétrica e declividade, por meio da inflexão hipsométrica (Hif), máxima hipsométrica (Hmax), inflexão clinográfica (Cif) e máxima clinográfica (Cmax) - que quando correlacionadas permitem a delimitação da Unidades Básicas de Relevo (UBR) - permitiu a definição de um método mais preciso e replicável na representação da cartografia geomorfológica.

Este trabalho analisou a morfogênese do divisor hidrográfico entre as bacias Tocantins/São Francisco e sua relação com a ocorrência de chapadas. Os métodos utilizados compreenderam revisão bibliográfica, sensoriamento remoto, geoprocessamento e trabalhos de campo. Os resultados mostram que a Bacia Hidrográfica do rio São Francisco perde área para a do Tocantins através da erosão e recuo das Chapadas do São Francisco em relação aos Patamares da Serra Geral de Goiás/São Francisco. Paralelamente, estes patamares, por sua vez, também perdem área para as depressões. Portanto, há duas frentes de erosão comandadas pela incisão fluvial e o divisor hidrográfico das bacias do Tocantins (Paranã) e São Francisco vem sendo recuado para leste graças ao fato que os afluentes do rio Paranã apresentam um maior poder erosivo do que os do rio São Francisco. Sendo assim, geoformas residuais areníticas sobre a unidade dos Patamares da Serra Geral de Goiás marcam antigas linhas de frente deste divisor. Na bacia hidrográfica do São Francisco, a incisão fluvial aumenta de norte a sul devido ao gradiente topográfico e à influência estrutural. Quanto a evolução regional do relevo, os resultados obtidos ainda apontam que as chapadas do São Francisco ocupavam, no passado, uma área maior que atual.

Supervisor enhances their subordinates’ level of creativity to provide the latest insights into intrinsic motivation. Therefore, demonstrating the other site in which pay for performance decisions are controlled by the HR department through individual interaction with increasing (PFP) pay for performance and employee creativity (CR). By utilizing the sample size of 250 questionnaires out of which 206 were completed from Lahore, the city of Pakistan. We establish that the consequence of (PFP) on creativity was invariantly mediating by intrinsic motivation in such a way that both mediator or moderator, PFP had stronger positive effects on creativity. Findings show that regression, mediation and moderation analysis the actual best fit was a PFP model and the Cronbach's alpha values show higher reliability and consistency of values & all variables are very highly correlated to each other. Future study is needed for testing the scale with different cultures and different organizations. Furthermore, intrinsic motivation, as enhanced by trust in management, moderating this mediating effect of PFP on creativity. In addition, the regression path analysis exposed that intrinsic motivation mediated the moderated effect among PFP, trust in management, and creativity. The findings of the current study shed light on the processes and conditions under which, PFP may promote creativity.

The purpose of this study is "Designing an excellent service model on Population and Civil Registration Service in the city of Metro ". The conclusions obtained from this study are (1) Problems in excellent service at Population and Civil Registration Service in the city of Metro based on their nature are divided into two types, which is uncontrolled (missed) and which is controlled (difficult). Uncontrolled problems are problems that should not need to exist, but they appear as an unavoidable problem whereas problems that are controlled are problems whose level of difficulty can be controlled. (2). The focus of service in population administration services in an institutional model emphasizes speed and convenience and does not pay attention to the simplicity of requirements and so to improve its quality it is necessary to pay attention to safety factors. (3) There are still many brokers in the services of the city of Metro Population and Civil Registration Service due to lack of supervision from the relevant agencies, not yet clear the application of Procedure Service Standards as well as the lack of socialization to the public about the service rates and service procedures.

Rethinking the Social Welfare Regime Model: The Case of Public Policy Toward Israeli Philanthropists
Authors: Shaul Bar Nissim Hanna , Schmid Hillel
Published: April 2019

Following a study on the changing relations between government and philanthropy in Israel, this study highlights the need to rethink the typology of social welfare regimes proposed by Anheier and Daly (2007). The findings of our study indicate that there has been a rapprochement between government and philanthropy in Israel. This trend has led to formal dialogue and collaborations. This trend has also promoted the development of policies toward philanthropy in various government ministries and agencies. The development and implementation of these policies have been facilitated by changes in the unique contextual factors of Israel’s welfare regime. Based on the findings, we propose a conceptualization for understanding governmental policies toward philanthropy in shifting welfare regimes. With regard to the theoretical and practical implications of the study, we propose a model for hybrid welfare regimes that are experiencing ongoing changes.
Managing Volunteer Retirement among Older Adults: Perspectives of Volunteer Administrators
Authors: Russell Allison R. , Heinlein Storti Melissa A. , Handy Femida
Published: April 2019

A large body of quantitative evidence demonstrates a link between volunteering and improved well-being, especially among older adults. Yet the research evidence pointing to the purported benefits of volunteering does not adequately address the unique experiences of older volunteers, nor does it address the ways in which working with them impacts the work of volunteer administrators. As the proportion of those aged 65 and older increases, older adults are poised to play an even greater role as volunteers than ever before, representing both unparalleled opportunity and potential new challenges for volunteer administrators. One such challenge includes how to manage older adults’ decisions to withdraw or retire from volunteering, which has an impact on the succession planning of the volunteer workforce. This article presents the results of a recent survey of volunteer administrators who share current policies and perspectives about volunteer retirement. These practitioner viewpoints provide important insights for both volunteer management and future research.
