Published: June 2022

Objective

To determine which type of exercise is best for reducing pain and disability in adults with chronic low back pain (LBP).

Design

Systematic review with a network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Literature Search

Six electronic databases were systematically searched from inception to July 2021.

Study Selection Criteria

RCTs testing the effects of exercise on reducing self-perceived pain or disability in adults (aged 18–65 years) with chronic LBP.

Data Synthesis

We followed the PRISMA-NMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, incorporating NMAs of health care interventions) statement when reporting our NMA. A frequentist NMA was conducted. The probability of each intervention being the most effective was conducted according to surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values.

Results

We included 118 trials (9710 participants). There were 28 head-to-head comparisons, 7 indirect comparisons for pain, and 8 indirect comparisons for disability. Compared with control, all types of physical exercises were effective for improving pain and disability, except for stretching exercises (for reducing pain) and the McKenzie method (for reducing disability). The most effective interventions for reducing pain were Pilates, mind-body, and core-based exercises. The most effective interventions for reducing disability were Pilates, strength, and core-based exercises. On SUCRA analysis, Pilates had the highest likelihood for reducing pain (93%) and disability (98%).

Conclusion

Although most exercise interventions had benefits for managing pain and disability in chronic LBP, the most beneficial programs were those that included (1) at least 1 to 2 sessions per week of Pilates or strength exercises; (2) sessions of less than 60 minutes of core-based, strength, or mind-body exercises; and (3) training programs from 3 to 9 weeks of Pilates and core-based exercises.

Published: June 2022

Objective

To estimate the screening performances of the most important provocation tests for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Design

Diagnostic test accuracy systematic review with meta-analysis.

Literature Search

We systematically searched the MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases from inception to November 2020.

Study Selection Criteria

Observational studies comparing the accuracies of the Durkan test (DT), the hand elevation test (HET), the Phalen test (PT), the Tinel test (TT), and the upper-limb neurodynamic test specific to the median nerve (ULNT1) with electrodiagnosis for screening for CTS.

Data Synthesis

Random-effects models for the diagnostic odds ratio (dOR) values computed by Moses' constant for a linear model and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the accuracy of these tests. Hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were used to summarize the overall test performance.

Results

Thirty-seven studies were included in the meta-analysis, with a total sample of 2662 wrists for DT, 864 wrists for HET, 6361 wrists for PT, 6094 wrists for TT, and 571 wrists for ULNT1. The pooled dORs for screening for CTS were 15.84 (95% CI: 3.78, 66.38) for DT, 128.63 (95% CI: 40.64, 407.12) for HET, 7.23 (95% CI: 4.06, 12.86) for PT, 5.31 (95% CI: 3.49, 8.09) for TT, and 1.78 (95% CI: 0.61, 5.19) for ULNT1.

Conclusion

HET has the best clinical performance for detecting CTS and should be considered the first screening test of choice during the physical examination. The most common tests (DT, PT, and TT) have good accuracies for screening for CTS. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2022;52(8):522–531. Epub: 19 June 2022. doi:10.2519/jospt.2022.10828

Cooperative Principle on Speech Acts in The TrialsThe objective of this study is to examine the cooperative principle contained in the trials at Banda Aceh District Court. The cooperative principle examined in this study consists of the maxim of quality, the maxim of quantity, the maxim of manner, and the maxim of relevance. Data for the study was drawn from nine court cases involving specific and general crimes. Data collection was carried out by recording the trials with a voice recorder. Triangulation of data was carried out by linking the cooperative principle contained in the trial with the cooperative principle theory and comparing them with the findings of other researchers. The writer concluded that the maxims of quality and quantity contained in the trial are confirmation questions. This is because the judge already knows the answer because it is in the minutes. The defendant's answers were informative and did not exceed the judge's expectations. At the same time, the application of the maxim of the manner in the trial can occur because the information provided regarding the judge's questions is answered by the speech partner clearly and regularly. This is equivalent to the maxim of relevance which requires the exchange of information to be in accordance with the topic expected by the questionnaire.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji prinsip kerja sama yang terdapat dalam persidangan di Pengadilan Negeri Banda Aceh. Prinsip kerja sama yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini terdiri atas maksim kualitas, maksim kuantitas, maksim cara, dan maksim relevansi. Data penelitian berupa sembilan perkara persidangan yang meliputi pidana khusus dan pidana umum yang disidangkan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan merekam persidangan dengan alat bantu perekam suara. Triangulasi data dilakukan dengan cara mengaitkan prinsip kerja sama yang terdapat dalam persidangan dengan teori prinsip kerja sama dan membandingkan dengan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh peneliti lainnya. Penulis menyimpulkan bahwa maksim kualitas dan kuantitas yang terdapat dalam persidangan merupakan pertanyaan konfirmasi sebab hakim sudah mengetahui jawaban tersebut karena terdapat dalam berita acara. Jawaban yang diberikan oleh terdakwa bersifat informatif dan tidak melebihi ekspektasi hakim. Penerapan maksim cara dalam persidangan terjadi karena informasi yang diberikan dijawab oleh mitra tutur secara jelas dan teratur. Hal itu sejajar dengan maksim relevansi yang mengharuskan pertukaran informasi haruslah sesuai dengan topik yang diharapkan oleh penanya.

Kaempferia parviflora
Authors: Chaisuwan V. , Dajanta K. , Srikaeo K.
Published: June 2022

This research was aimed to determine the effects of extraction methods on antioxidant
properties and methoxyflavone contents of Kaempferia parviflora (KP) rhizome extracts.
The KP rhizomes were extracted by maceration using ethanol at the concentrations of 25,
50, 75 and 95% V/V for 7 days and 95% V/V ethanolic extraction with sonication-assisted
extraction (SAE) for 15-45 mins. Antioxidant components (phenolics, flavonoids and
anthocyanins) and antioxidant activities (DPPH and FRAP) were examined.
Methoxyflavones of the KP extracts were identified by a GC-MS technique. It was found
that extraction methods affected the antioxidant properties of the extracts. Increasing
ethanol concentrations enhanced anthocyanins but not phenolics and flavonoids. Ethanol
concentration at 75% V/V exhibited the greatest DPPH while 25% V/V ethanol showed
the greatest FRAP values. In this study, 10 methoxyflavones from KP extracts were
separated and identified by GC chromatograms. The content of 5,7-dimethoxyflavone
increased from 1.1 g/100 mL extract to 48.10 g/100 mL extract as the ethanol
concentrations increased from 25% to 95% V/V. SAE for 15-45 mins had little impact on
antioxidant properties as well as methoxyflavone contents. In general, SAE enhanced the
extraction of KP rhizomes by increasing 5,7-dimethoxyflavone contents.

Durian (Durio zibethinus cv. Musang King; D197) is a popular durian cultivar due to its
thick flesh and strong sweet taste. The high market demand and shortage of out-of-season
supply contribute to the increase in durian price. Other than that, durian has a short storage
life, and to prolong the storage life of Malaysian durian, freezing treatment has been
applied. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of freezing methods on the
physical and sensory qualities of the whole durian. The freezing method included
conventional (at -18°C) and cryogenic freezing (-110°C). The frozen durian was thawed
and evaluated after 12-hours, 24-hours, and 36-hours for external and internal quality,
dehiscence incidence, and physicochemical parameters (pulp colour, soluble solids
content, total titratable acidity, and percentage of moisture) during 36-hours storage. The
results showed that conventional freezing at -18°C adversely affected the quality of
durian. The fruits were severely dehiscent due to the slow freezing rate. Later, the freezing
injury became obvious when exposed to ambient temperature. In comparison, during
cryogenic freezing durian fruit froze rapidly without any dehiscence. The freezing
methods used in this study did not affect the physicochemical parameters of durian pulp
during 36-hours storage. Cryogenic freezing is noted to be a promising method for
preserving the quality of durian fruit, thus extending the storage life for market expansion.
Effect of jambu mawar [Syzygium jambos (L.) Alston] leaves extract on natural
microbial populations in food

Published: June 2022

Raw food materials can be contaminated with foodborne pathogens and foodborne
spoilage. Washing raw food material with water can reduce microbial loading in raw food
material prior to the process, but not eliminate it. Due to food safety issues, synthetic food
sanitisers are currently being avoided. Natural food sanitisers such as plant extracts are
now widely researched and may be used. Jambu mawar [Syzygium jambos (L.) Alston]
leaves extract has been reported for its medicinal uses and treatment of a variety of
illnesses. The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of jambu mawar leaves
extract in order to determine its suitability as a natural food sanitiser. There were three
different concentrations (0.05%, 0.50% and 5.00%) of jambu mawar leaves extract
solutions used to treat shrimp and cherry tomatoes with immersion method at different
exposure times (5 mins and 15 mins). Moreover, the treated samples were stored at
different temperatures (25±2oC, 4±2oC, and -18±2oC) for 23 days. The results showed that
washing with tap water for 5 mins and 15 mins, was not able to reduce the population of
total plate count (TPC), Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella
pneumoniae in food samples. In contrast, washing with 0.05% for 5 mins can significantly
reduce the microorganism population in food samples. If the concentration is increased to
5.00% the microbial population in the food samples can be removed completely.
Correspondingly, the extract can also inhibit or kill the microbial population in raw food
materials at different temperatures. It can be concluded that S. jambos (L.) Alston leaves
extract can reduce or eliminate the microbial population in raw food materials. These
results suggested that this extract might be developed as a natural food sanitiser.

The habitat type and food availability always influence the population size of many organisms. Bird’s feeding pattern should be abstracted to complete avian community structure data. The agronomy main research farm of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology is a well-managed multi-crop agro-ecosystem which provides a suitable ground for ecological research. In a multi-crop farmland, the association of Barn Swallow Hirundo rustica Linnaeus, 1758, with the Indian mustard Brassica juncea (L.) Czernajew, 1859 crops have been recorded for the first time while hovering only on this field. A flock of Barn swallows was recorded in 32 field visits while flying continuously over the Indian mustard field after flowering to ripening of fruit in the morning and sometimes in afternoon also. The range of the birds was recorded from 6 to 61 with a mean individual of 36.03 ± 15.37 hovering for 1.83 hr daily. This may be the behaviour for the feeding pattern of these flying insectivorous birds which was not seen in other crop-fields with same insect diversity describing it as not the only reason for this behaviour. To reveal this poorly understood behaviour of flying insectivore birds, a detailed long term behavioural study with gut content analysis is needed to explain the particular reason behind this behaviour of Barn swallows which will support the conservation of these birds and control their population decline.

The Aaliji Formation in wells (BH.52, BH.90, BH.138, and BH.188) in Bai Hassan Oil Field in Low Folded Zone northern Iraq has been studied to recognize the palaeoenvironment and sequence stratigraphic development. The formation is bounded unconformably with the underlain Shiranish Formation and the overlain Jaddala Formation. The microfacies analysis and the nature of accumulation of both planktonic and benthonic foraminifera indicate the two microfacies associations; where the first one represents deep shelf environment, which is responsible for the deposition of the Planktonic Foraminiferal Lime Wackestone Microfacies and Planktonic Foraminiferal Lime Packstone Microfacies, while the second association represents the deep-sea environment that is responsible for deposition of Lime Mudstone Microfacies. The sequence boundaries were marked on SB1 surface on the bottom and the top of the succession while SB2 surface is placed at the top of the sequence (1) as shallowing-upward beneath deepening upward units. Sequence (1) placed on SB1 surface that separates the Cretaceous from the Palaeogene successions where it formed outer shelf to upper-middle bathyal, and comprised the Planktonic Foraminiferal Lime Wackestone Microfacies as a Transgression System Tract TST deepening-upward ended with Maximum Flooding Surface MFS represented by Mudstone microfacies in BH.188 Well. It is followed by the Planktonic Foraminiferal Lime Packstone Microfacies that represent the Highstand System Tract HST as a shallowing-upward ended by SB2. Sequence (2) begins with a new Transgression System Tract TST that formed the outer shelf and bounded with Maximum Flooding Surface MFS. The Highstand System Tract HST that shallowing-upward which ended by SB1 between the Aaliji and Jaddala Formations.

The present study reports Morchella conica Pers.1818, which belongs to the family, Morchellaceae as a new record of Iraqi macromycota based on the morphological and molecular methods. During their short and often sporadic fruiting season, this fungal species was found in mixed forest unburned areas in Branan ranges (Suliamaniya Province, Northeast Iraq). Currently, M. conica is the second Morchella species reported from Iraq. The current study aimed to introduce this new record, which is poorly studied in the Middle East. M. conica is morphologically described and phylogenetically confirmed. The relationship between this species and other species within the genus was studied using the nrDNA ITS sequences from different species and diverse geographical regions. Maximum likelihood (ML) analyses were also conducted to build the molecular phylogeny of this species. The results of the presented species are essential for assessing the genus geographic distribution and developing information about species of this highly prized edible, industrial medicinal fungus.

Published: June 2022

The article presents the results of studying the conchological variability of the terrestrial mollusk Chondrulopsina fedtschenkoi (Ancey, 1886), known to occur in three regions of the Zaravshan Range (Central Asia): the Urgutsay Gorge, the vicinity of the Gissarak Reservoir and the Ingichka-Irmak Gorge. Conchological variability was determined based on statistical analysis. The climate of the three regions is different, and environmental factors have led to changes in the mollusk shell. The shells have changed in response to environmental factors, these are their adaptive traits for survival; the variability of conchological features is also reflected in the color of the shell, and the intensive development of the color of the shell in mollusks is an adaptive feature reflecting on the one hand, the adaptability of mollusks to any biotope, and on the other hand climatic and landscape conditions.

Jatropha L. is an exotic genus to Iraq and it has been cultivated in gardens for ornamental purposes because of the shiny red color of the flowers. The plant adapted to environmental conditions and succeeded in growing and blooming, which is why the species was interested to study. The species Jatropha integerrima Jacq. was examined and diagnosed for the first time in Iraq. Morphological and anatomical characteristics for leaves (considering that the variations are the most reliable and taxonomically important) were provided. The Phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenes, tannins and saponins. The qualitative analysis by TLC indicated the presence of alkaloids and flavonoid that was detected by special reagent and UV light, which included two orang spots of alkaloid with 0.71 and 0.63 Rf value one flavonoid yellow spot with 0.43 Rf value.

One eighth of the bird species in the world is considered globally threatened; the avifauna of Iraq comprises 409 species and is considered as the major indicator of the health of Iraq’s biological resources. The Iraqi geography falls into five main regions among which is the desert and semi-desert areas which cover much of the country area. Al-Najaf desert is still one of the poorly known regions from the biodiversity point of view. Birds of conservation concern are detected in Al-Najaf desert during 31 field trips to 20 sites conducted from August 2018 to April 2020, (citing literature records, and personal interviews with locals).The factors caused the bird numbers to decline in Al-Najaf desert include hunting and trapping, logging, invasive species, and climate change. Nine birds are found threatened with 3 EN and 6 VU comprising Saker Falcon Falco cherrug Gray, 1834 (Falconidae, Falconiformes), Red-footed Falcon Falco vespertinus Linnaeus, 1766 (Falconidae, Falconiformes), Steppe Eagle Aquila nipalensis Hodgson, 1833 (Accipitridae, Accipitriformes), Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Accipitridae, Accipitriformes), Greater Spotted Eagle Aquila clanga (Pallas, 1811) (Accipitridae, Accipitriformes), Marbled Teal Marmaronetta angustirostris (Ménétrés, 1832) (Anatidae, Anseriformes), Macqueen's Bustard Chlamydotis macqueeni (Gray, 1834) (Otididae, Otidiformes), Turtle Dove Streptopelia turtur (Linnaeus, 1758) (Columbidae, Columbiformes), and Southern Grey Shrike Lanius meridionalis aucheri Bonaparte, 1853 (Laniidae, Passeriformes). It is concluded that Al-Najaf desert is a region of top priority area for biodiversity conservation as it hosts large number of threatened bird species.
