Published: July 2020

Introduction. The functional assessment of general movements (GMs) is a common test for the developing nervous system. The high predictive validity of abnormal GMs for cerebral palsy has been documented among preterm infants.
Aim. The present study examined whether term infants without any documented risk factors for neurodevelopment delay may benefit from an assessment of GMs.
Material and Methods. One hundred and four infants ranging in age from 1–4 months were evaluated using Prechtl’s method, of which, thirty-eight were younger than two months of age and the remaining sixty-eight were older than two months of age (with available detailed neonatal characteristics). The following movements were considered among younger infants, writhing, poor repertoire and cramped synchronised, whereas fidgety, cramped synchronised, poor repertoire, chaotic and abnormal GMs were evaluated in older infants. Infants were classified as ‘normal’ or ‘abnormal’ groups based on their presenting GMs. We determined postural positional preference, following Kaplan recommendations, with features categorised as either ‘present’ or ‘absent’, as well as activity level and general muscle tone (‘normal’ or ‘abnormal’).
Results. Cramped synchronised GMs were observed in seven (18.4%) younger infants and in eleven (16.7%) older infants. There was no difference in the clinical characteristics of children with normal vs. abnormal GMs. Abnormal muscle tone was associated with a higher OR (p = 0.0039) of presenting with abnormal GMs (4.6063; 95%CI: 1.6303–13.0149). Although the infants studied were not at risk for developmental disorders, almost one-fifth required follow-up neurological consultation.
Conclusions. An assessment of GMs should be considered as a universal screening tool among healthy infants without risk factor(s) for developmental deficits.

Published: July 2020

Introduction. Systemic steroid therapy leads to disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism. The effect of immunosuppression with intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) pulses on glycaemia is not conclusive.
Aim. This study aimed to assess the short-term effect of IVMP therapy in moderate-to-severe Graves' orbitopathy (GO) on glycaemic control in normoglycaemic patients with and without pre-diabetes.
Material and Methods. Twenty-five GO patients treated with IVMP pulses (at initial dose of 6 x 0.5 g once a week, followed by0.25 g given for 6 consecutive weeksweekly) were recruited and divided into a normoglycaemic group (n = 15, patients without pre-diabetes) and a pre-diabetic group (n = 10, patients with impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)). Six daily capillary blood glucose measurements were performed at fixed times the day before and on the day of the first pulse administration.
Results. There was a significant increase in the glucose concentration on the day of IVMP administration in both groups of patients compared to the day before drug administration, with 50% of patients showing an increase in blood glucose above 200 mg/dl. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups.
Conclusions. Methylprednisolone in a high intravenous dose has a tremendous impact on the blood glucose level in normoglycaemic and pre-diabetic patients on the day of drug administration.

As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2, continues to spread rapidly around the world, there is a need for well validated serological assays that allow the detection of viral specific antibody responses in COVID-19 patients or recovered individuals. In this study, we established and used multiple indirect Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)-based serological assays to study the antibody response in COVID-19 patients. In order to validate the assays we determined the cut off values, sensitivity and specificity of the assays using sera collected from pre-pandemic healthy controls, COVID-19 patients at different time points after disease-onset, and seropositive sera to other human coronaviruses. The developed SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit of the spike glycoprotein and nucleocapsid (N)-based ELISAs not only showed high specificity and sensitivity but also did not show any cross-reactivity with other CoVs. We also show that all RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 patients tested in our study developed both virus specific IgM and IgG antibodies as early as week one after disease onset. Our data also suggest that the inclusion of both S1 and N in serological testing would capture as many potential SARS-CoV-2 positive cases as possible than using any of them alone. This is specifically important for tracing contacts and cases and conducting large-scale epidemiological studies to understand the true extent of virus spread in populations.
The Design of One-Dimensional Motion and Two-Dimensional Motion Learning Media Using Digital Camera and Tracker-Based Air Track

Published: July 2020

This research describes the results of the development of 2D air track tools designed for one and two-dimensional motion experiments with small frictional forces. Friction is minimized by using wind gusts through small holes made in all parts of the runway. Motion detection devices used are digital cameras and trackers. Digital cameras are used to record the motion of objects on a platform in the form of video with a specific frame-rate. Tracker is used to analyzing videos that contain information about object motion. This tool has been tested on one-dimensional motion, that is, an object that slides over an inclined plane and two-dimensional motion in the case of a collision of two objects. In the case of one-dimensional position graphs against time can be displayed, the instantaneous velocity and average and acceleration can be accurately determined. In the case of the collision of two objects, the position graph against time can also be displayed for each object before and after the collision. The velocity vector can be determined accurately so that the law of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy can be verified. One and two-dimensional motion are the concepts that underlie almost all other concepts in physics. Therefore one and two-dimensional motion experiments are important to build students’ experiences of the concept. Thus 2D air track platform based on digital cameras and Tracker software can be used as a physics learning media on motion kinematics materials that can display various kinematics graphs so that information about motion is complete.

New Insights into Mass Transfer when Using the Rotating Disk Apparatus for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids
Authors: Kotb A. , Nasr-El-Din H. A.
Published: July 2020

The rotating disk apparatus (RDA) is used to study reaction kinetics. However, the current equations used to interpret the results from the RDA make oversimplifying assumptions. Some of these assumptions are not met in practice, yet no work has been done to study their impact on the mass transfer of the proton (H+) to the disk. The objectives of the current work are threefold: study flow regimes under the rotating disk in the RDA for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, investigate the impact of the reactor boundaries on the mass transfer of H+ to the disk in Newtonian fluids, and identify the dimensions of the reactor that minimize this impact.

The mass transfer of the H+ was compared between different dimension reactors. Contrary to information reported in the literature, both the diameter of the reactor and the axial distance between the base of the disk and the bottom of the reactor have an impact on the rate of mass transfer of H+ to the disk. Moreover, the velocity profiles in the reactor showed three flow regimes: fully axisymmetric, fully asymmetric flow, and intermediate flow. These different regimes varied depending on the axial distance between the base of the disk and the bottom of the reactor, the diameter of the reactor, the rotational speed of the disk, and the kinematic viscosity of the reacting fluid.

Background: In Pakistan there is a dire need to explore the quality of life in infertile males and females and its undesirable psychological outcomes. Thus, the aim of this study was: 1. To compare the QoL of males and females presenting at an infertility centre for treatment, 2. To assess the association of QoL with resilience, depression, and other socio-demographic factors in males and females presenting at an infertility clinic for treatment. Methods: An Analytical Cross-Sectional study was conducted and the study participants were recruited from the Australian Concept Infertility Medical Centre (ACIMC), Karachi, Pakistan. The non-probability (purposive) sampling strategy was used to recruit the participants. The sample size was 668. Data was analysed using STATA version 12. Results: After adjusting for the covariates we observed that the males who were less resilient their QoL was 8.47 units significantly lower and those who were depressed their QoL was 17.849 units significantly lower as compared to those who were more resilient and less depressed. Moreover, formal education, low monthly income, and friends were significantly associated with QoL among males . On the other hand, females who were less resilient their QoL was 8.606 units lower and those who were depressed their QoL was 19.387 units significantly lower as compared to those who were more resilient and less depressed. Additionally, formal education and low monthly income had a significant association with QoL among females. Conclusion: Fertility related QoL of men and women has a significant association with no formal education, number of friends, income, depression and resilience. Therefore, health care professionals in the field of infertility must be adequately trained to respond to the needs of individuals going through these psychological problems.

Background: Prior cost-effectiveness studies of post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) only compared conventional radiotherapy versus no radiotherapy and only considered tumor control. The goal of this study was to perform cost-effectiveness analyses of standard of care (SOC) and advanced PMRT techniques including intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), standard volumetric modulated arc therapy (STD-VMAT), non-coplanar VMAT (NC-VMAT), multiple arc VMAT (MA-VMAT), Tomotherapy (TOMO), mixed beam therapy (MIXED), and intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT). Methods: Using a Markov model, we estimated the cost-effectiveness of various techniques over 15 years. A cohort of women (55-year-old) was simulated in the model, and radiogenic side effects were considered. Transition probabilities, utilities, and costs for each health state were obtained from literature and Medicare data. Model outcomes include quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), and SOC was used as the reference. Results: For the patient cohort, IMRT is the most cost-effective technique as it dominates NC-VMAT, MA-VMAT, MIXED, and has ICER of 27,310 $/QALY, 19,081 $/QALY and 3,067 $/QALY compared with SOC, STD-VMAT and TOMO, respectively. IMPT has the highest ICER of 74,564 $/QALY and 151,741 $/QALY compared with SOC and IMRT, which shows IMPT is the least cost-effective option. One-way analysis shows that the probability of cardiac toxicity has the most significant impact on the model outcomes. The probability sensitivity analyses show that all advanced PMRT techniques are more cost-effective than SOC at a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of 100,000 $/QALY, while almost none of the advanced techniques is more cost-effective than SOC at a WTP threshold of $50,000/QALY. Conclusion: Advanced PMRT techniques are more cost-effective for breast cancer patients at a WTP threshold of 100,000 $/QALY, and IMRT might be the most cost-effective option for PMRT patients.

Background: The use of new technologies and methodologies in young people’s mental health research is needed to allow more frequent and reliable sampling. Mobile applications and e-platforms create exciting potential for the collection of large-scale cohort data, however there are various feasibility and ethical issues to consider. Consultation with young people is needed to inform the research agenda, and ensure these technologies are engaging, useful and safe. This article describes the process of Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) with a sample of young people in London, with the aim of i) informing the development of a mood-monitoring e-platform, and ii) providing feedback and advice for researchers developing web-based technologies in the mental health field. Methods: A total of 26 young people were consulted across four advisory group co-design sessions. All young people were students enrolled at one of the participating London based sixth form colleges, and voluntarily attended a workshop session. Audio recordings of the sessions were analysed using a thematic analysis framework. Results: We found that young people were engaged in discussions around mobile health technologies and valued the opportunity to collaborate throughout the early stages of the development process The advisory groups identified key considerations for future web-development work to encourage engagement and prolonged use, including, the promotion of trust and transparency, consideration of accessibility, provision of support, production of engaging and functional design, and acknowledgment of specific contextual influences surrounding young people’s wellbeing. Conclusions: Involving young people in the development process of e-health technologies contributes to optimising the successful adoption and prolonged usage of new methodologies. The thematic map and informant examples can be used to guide researchers interested in developing web-based technologies in the mental health field and will be directly applicable to the development of a mood-monitoring e-platform.

Background: Childhood obesity is a major public health concern, especially in low socioeconomic groups. Sedentary time (SED) is an important predictor of obesity. To be able to diminish SED it is important to find modifiable predictors of sedentary behavior. The home environment associated with children’s SED may vary by parental socioeconomic status. This study aims to clarify the association between parental educational level (PEL) and the home environment of 3–6-year-old children, and to examine how home environment associates with children’s SED, and whether PEL modifies these associations.Methods: A cross-sectional Increased health and wellbeing in preschools (DAGIS) study was conducted in 2015–2016 in Finland. The parents (n=809) filled in questionnaires assessing PEL, and the home physical and social environment related to children’s SED. Children’s SED was measured with accelerometers, which the children (n=758) wore for one week.Results: High PEL was associated with a home environment restraining sedentary behaviour compared with low PEL. More favourable descriptive norms about screen time associated with children’s higher SED. Some of the associations with sedentary home environment factors and SED were influenced by PEL. Having rules limiting the child’s TV time was associated with children’s lower SED only among high PEL group. Conclusions: Future interventions aiming to decrease SED should pay attention to relevant factors in children’s sedentary behaviour home environment. It is important to acknowledge the possible PEL differences in these factors.

Published: July 2020

Background: When death ends a life, the impact of caring for person who suffered a period of illness or disease continues for significant others who are left to grieve. They should be offered support to avoid complicated grief. This can be provided in different ways and individually or in groups. This study aims to describe significant others’ experiences of participation in bereavement groups. Methods: Ten bereavement groups that each met five times offered support for the significant others of deceased loved ones who had been cared for by a palliative-care team. After the five meetings, the grieving members (n=46) completed written comments about the role of the groups; they also commented one year after participating (n=39). Comments were analyzed with qualitative content analysis with a directed approach using the theory of a good death according to the 6S’s: self-image, self-determination, social relationships, symptom control, synthesis and summation, and surrender. Results: Bereavement groups were found to be a source for alleviating grief for some significant others, but not all experienced relief. Moreover, grief was found to persist during participation. Another finding involved the impact of the role of the palliative home-care team on bereavement support. To evaluate the experience of participating in a bereavement group, the use the 6S’s as a model was a strength of the analysis. Bereavement groups could enhance the self and offer relief from grief. Participation was described as social relationships that offered a sense of coherence and understanding in grief. The effects of participation were more meaningful close to the loss and could lose efficacy over time. Bereavement support provided before a loved one’s death was seen as valuable.Conclusion: Overall, the bereavement groups eased the grief of significant others close to the death of their loved one. However, moving forward, several of the significant others were not sure that their participation eased their grief. To identify persons who may remain in a state of complicated grief, a routine of planned contacts with the bereaved should begin before death and be followed up later than six months after the death of a loved one.

Background: The ideal fraction of nitrous oxide (N2O) in oxygen (O2) for rapid lung collapse remains unclear. Accordingly, this prospective trial aimed to determine the 50% effective concentration (EC50) and 95% effective concentration (EC95) of N2O in O2 for rapid lung collapse. Methods: This study included 38 consecutive patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The lung collapse score (LCS) of each patient during one-lung ventilation was evaluated by the same surgeon. The first patient received 30% N2O in O2, and the subsequent N2O fraction in O2 was determined by the LCS of the previous patient using the Dixon up-and-down method. The testing interval was set at 10%, and the lowest concentration was 10% (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, or 50%). The EC50 and EC95 of N2O in O2 for rapid lung collapse were analyzed using a probit test.Results: According to the up-and-down method, the N2O fraction in O2 at which all patients exhibited successful lung collapse was 50%. The EC50 and EC95 of N2O in O2 for rapid lung collapse were 27.7% (95% confidence interval 19.9%–35.7%) and 48.7% (95% confidence interval 39.0%–96.3%), respectively.Conclusions: In patients undergoing VATS, the EC50 and EC95 of N2O in O2 for rapid lung collapse were 27.7% and 48.7%, respectively.

Published: July 2020

Background

Cotton is known for fiber extraction and it is grown in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world due to having hot weather. Cotton crop has a significant role in GDP of Pakistan. Therefore, the two years research was conducted to estimate heritability and association among various yield contributing parameters of cotton i.e. plant height, number of bolls per plant, number of sympodial branches per plant, seed cotton yield, boll weight, seed index, GOT, fiber length, fiber strength, and fiber fineness.

Results

Association analysis revealed that seed cotton yield had significant positive correlation with plant height, number of bolls per plant, number of sympodial branches per plant, GOT, staple length and fiber strength. Staple length and fiber strength were negatively linked with each other. Estimates of heritability were high for all of the traits except number of sympodial branches per plant and boll weight.

Conclusion

The parent IUB-222 was found to be best for plant height, number of bolls per plant, boll weight, GOT, seed cotton yield and seed index. The genotypes namely NIAB-414 and VH-367 were identified as best parents for fiber length, strength and fineness. Among the crosses NIAB-414 × IUB-222 was best for number of bolls per plant, seed index, seed cotton yield and fiber fineness, whereas, cross of NIAB-414 × CIM-632 was good for plant height. The combination of A555 × CIM-632 was best for number of sympodial branches per plant, boll weight, fiber length and strength, and VH-367 × CIM-632 proved best for GOT.
