Radiological and clinical outcomes of concurrent hamstring stretching with quadriceps strengthening in patients with knee osteoarthritis: A randomized clinical trial
Authors: Mahmoud Waleed S. , Osailan Ahmad , Elnaggar Ragab K. , Alhailiy Ali B.
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND:

Hamstring shortening altered joint reaction forces during activities of daily living (ADL), causing knee pain. Moreover, weak quadriceps may negatively distribute the compressive and shear forces at the knee joint.

PURPOSE:

The study examined the effect of adding hamstring stretching to quadriceps strengthening exercises on joint space narrowing (JSN), medial joint space width (mJSW), and physical abilities in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

METHODS:

A total of 42 osteoarthritis patients, aged from 50 to 65 years, were randomized and assigned into 2 groups: the study and the control groups. Quadriceps strengthening exercises were given to both groups, while static hamstring stretching was applied to only the study group. Patients of both groups were screened with a weight-bearing x-ray beam to investigate the JSN, mJSW, and functional abilities measured in the WOMAC scale. The Outcomes were evaluated at the baseline and immediately after 6 weeks of treatment.

RESULTS:

The mJSW improved in the study group ([Formula: see text] 0.001) compared to the control group ([Formula: see text] 0.07). The OARSI JSN was enhanced significantly in both groups, but in favor of the study group ([Formula: see text] 0.001) over the control group ([Formula: see text] 0.046). Both MVIC and total score of WOMAC were significantly improved in both groups ([Formula: see text] 0.001).

CONCLUSION:

Adding static hamstring stretching to quadriceps strengthening exercises provided a substantial effect on mJSW, JSN, and functional abilities in KOA patients.
Children’s right to participation in AI: Exploring transnational co-creative approaches to foster child-inclusive AI policy and practice
Authors: Mathiyazhagan Siva , La Fors Karolina
Published: September 2022

The right to participation in matters related to children is a fundamental right of every child. AI systems are emerging in all contexts of children’s lives, both in the US and EU, yet children’s voices are often ignored in AI policy and practice, particularly children from historically marginalised communities. This article explores the policy and practice gaps in Europe and the US and the lack of children’s participation in AI at the global level. Current AI policies and practices discount the transnational implications of AI on children’s lives and their rights in the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The article calls for co-creative approaches which should be implemented transnationally to elevate the benefits of the inclusion of children in AI policy and practice – not only as users but also as contributors and innovators. This approach offers AI systems and policies that are more inclusive and children-friendly. By offering children more agency as contributors and innovators, children would gain more power compared to only being users. We propose that the balance in transnational power dynamics in AI policy and practice could become reversed. Ultimately, children’s increased agency as innovators in shaping AI practices can offer mutual benefits for children’s individual and social development, inclusive AI policy, and innovation practice.
NISO plus 2022 Miles Conrad lecture: The role of a library in a world of unstructured data
Authors: Brennan Patricia Flatley
Published: September 2022

Throughout its nearly two hundred year existence, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) ( https://www.nlm.nih.gov/ ) has advanced biomedicine and public health by acquiring, organizing, preserving, and disseminating knowledge essential to health and medicine. NLM has devised many innovations including standard terminologies and messaging formats such as the Journal Article Tag Suite ( https://dtd.nlm.nih.gov/ ) to organize and manage biomedical literature. While scientific communication largely relied on books and journals over the last two hundred years, digital data are quickly forming the substrate of scientific communications. Data come in forms with much less structure than that afforded by publications, and these can vary from observations made during carefully controlled clinical trials to streams of genomic sequences to the counts of footfalls captured by personal devices. Coincidently, an increasingly diverse set of users – from clinicians to laypeople to public health to big pharma to scientists – bring unique perspectives as they draw meaning from new sets of scientific output. How does a modern library meet its mission to acquire, organize, preserve, and disseminate the many outputs of contemporary science? What role do standards play? How does NLM help this diverse set of stakeholders derive meaning from its resources?

Authors: Rai Harleen Kaur , Kernaghan David , Schoonmade Linda , Egan Kieren J. , Pot Anne Margriet
Published: September 2022

Background: Dementia poses significant and sustained challenges to global society. Diagnosis can lead to increased feelings of loneliness and social isolation. People with dementia living alone are particularly at risk. Considering the growing number of technologies proposed to aid people with dementia address social isolation and loneliness, we reviewed the existing literature. Objective: To collate and summarize current evidence for digital technologies to prevent social isolation and loneliness for people with dementia. Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched five databases to identify studies of digital technologies designed to support or prevent social isolation or loneliness for people with dementia. Pre-specified outcomes included social isolation, loneliness, and quality of life. We used deductive thematic analysis to synthesize the major themes emerging from the studies. Results: Ten studies met our inclusion criteria where all studies reported improvements in quality of life and seven reported benefits regarding social inclusion or a reduction in loneliness. Technologies were varied across purpose, delivery format, theoretical models, and levels of personalization. Two studies clearly described the involvement of people with dementia in the study design and five technologies were available outside the research context. Conclusion: There is limited— but increasing— evidence that technologies hold potential to improve quality of life and reduce isolation/loneliness for people with dementia. Results presented are largely based in small-scale research studies. Involvement of people with dementia was limited and few research concepts are reaching implementation. Closer collaboration with people with dementia to provide affordable, inclusive, and person-centered solutions is urgently required.

Authors: Tariot Pierre N. , Braeckman Rene , Oh Charles
Published: September 2022

Background: Donepezil is approved for treatment of dementia of the Alzheimer type and is currently available only in tablet forms in the United States. Objective: To compare steady-state pharmacokinetics of once-weekly 10-mg/d and 5-mg/d Corplex™ donepezil transdermal delivery systems (TDS) with once-daily 10-mg oral donepezil. Methods: Open-label, randomized, crossover study (NCT04617782) enrolled healthy participants aged 18–55 years. All participants received 5-mg/d donepezil TDS during the 5-week Period 1, followed by 10-mg/d TDS or 10-mg/d oral donepezil in the 5-week Period 2; treatments were switched in Period 3. Bioequivalence was assessed at steady state on Week 5. Results: All 60 enrolled participants received 5-mg/d TDS, 55 received 10-mg/d TDS, and 56 received oral donepezil. Adjusted geometric mean ratio (% [90% CI]) for maximum plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (0–168 h) were 88.7 (81.7–96.2) and 108.6 (100.5–117.4) for 10-mg/d and 86.1 (79.8–92.9) and 105.3 (97.6–113.6) for dose-normalized 5-mg/d TDS and were generally within the 80% –125% range for establishing bioequivalence with oral donepezil. Skin adhesion was similar for both TDSs (>80% of patches remaining ≥75% adhered throughout the wear period). Overall incidence of adverse events (AEs) was similar across treatments. Compared with 10-mg/d TDS, oral donepezil was associated with higher incidence of gastrointestinal and nervous system AEs (14.5% versus 53.6% and 14.5% versus 30.4%, respectively). Conclusion: Donepezil TDSs are bioequivalent to oral donepezil at steady state and have a safety profile that supports their use in treating dementia of the Alzheimer type.

Published: September 2022

Background: In amyloid-positive individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), high soluble 42-amino acid amyloid-β (Aβ42) levels are associated with normal cognition. It is unknown if this relationship applies longitudinally in a genetic cohort. Objective: To test the hypothesis that high Aβ42 preserves normal cognition in amyloid-positive individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-causing mutations (APP, PSEN1, or PSEN2) to a greater extent than lower levels of brain amyloid, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) phosphorylated tau (p-tau), or total tau (t-tau). Methods: Cognitive progression was defined as any increase in Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR = 0, normal cognition; 0.5, very mild dementia; 1, mild dementia) over 3 years. Amyloid-positivity was defined as a standard uptake value ratio (SUVR) ≥1.42 by Pittsburgh compound-B positron emission tomography (PiB-PET). We used modified Poisson regression models to estimate relative risk (RR), adjusted for age at onset, sex, education, APOE4 status, and duration of follow-up. The results were confirmed with multiple sensitivity analyses, including Cox regression. Results: Of 232 mutation carriers, 108 were PiB-PET-positive at baseline, with 43 (39.8%) meeting criteria for progression after 3.3±2.0 years. Soluble Aβ42 levels were higher among CDR non-progressors than CDR progressors. Higher Aβ42 predicted a lower risk of progression (adjusted RR, 0.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19–0.67; p = 0.002) better than lower SUVR (RR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.68–0.96; p = 0.018). CSF Aβ42 levels predicting lower risk of progression increased with higher SUVR levels. Conclusion: High CSF Aβ42 levels predict normal cognition in amyloid-positive individuals with AD-causing genetic mutations.

Authors: Rakesh V. , Balamurugan R.
Published: September 2022

Recently, Induction motor (IM) become the most prevalent machine type and finds an applications in many fields such as industries, electric cars etc., A typical IMD system includes IM, power controller, converter and measurement sensors. The effective performance of the IM indirectly depends upon the sensors connected with IMD. Recently, sensor fault diagnosis plays a vital role in IMD control. Thus, this work formulated a unique methodology using current vector determined from the stator currents of IM to identify sensor failures. ANN topology is incorporated to detect the Sensor failure. MATLAB software is utilized to verify the efficacy of the suggested topology. To demonstrate the practicality of this technology, experimental verification is carried out. The efficiency of the proposed approach for IM drives is demonstrated by both simulation and experimental findings. From the obtained results, it is proven that this technique detects the failure of the sensors within less time duration (about 0.25 ms). Hence, it can be effectively utilized in automobile industry.
Building spatio-temporal knowledge graphs from vectorized topographic historical maps
Authors: Shbita Basel , Knoblock Craig A. , Duan Weiwei , Chiang Yao-Yi , Uhl Johannes H. , Leyk Stefan
Published: September 2022

Historical maps provide rich information for researchers in many areas, including the social and natural sciences. These maps contain detailed documentation of a wide variety of natural and human-made features and their changes over time, such as changes in transportation networks or the decline of wetlands or forest areas. Analyzing changes over time in such maps can be labor-intensive for a scientist, even after the geographic features have been digitized and converted to a vector format. Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are the appropriate representations to store and link such data and support semantic and temporal querying to facilitate change analysis. KGs combine expressivity, interoperability, and standardization in the Semantic Web stack, thus providing a strong foundation for querying and analysis. In this paper, we present an automatic approach to convert vector geographic features extracted from multiple historical maps into contextualized spatio-temporal KGs. The resulting graphs can be easily queried and visualized to understand the changes in different regions over time. We evaluate our technique on railroad networks and wetland areas extracted from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) historical topographic maps for several regions over multiple map sheets and editions. We also demonstrate how the automatically constructed linked data (i.e., KGs) enable effective querying and visualization of changes over different points in time.
Numerical investigation of arterial stenosis location affecting hemodynamics considering microcirculation function
Authors: He Fan , Wang Xinyu , Hua Lu , Guo Tingting
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND: In recent years, arterial stenosis has become one of the serious diseases threatening people’s life and health. OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of the present study is to examine the changes of hemodynamic parameters in different stenosis locations of arteries. METHODS: An arterial stenosis model with fluid-structure interaction and microcirculation as the outlet boundary of seepage is adopted in this paper. Considering the interaction between blood and arterial wall, a numerical simulation is carried out using the finite element method. RESULTS: The results show that hemodynamic parameters are sensitive to the change of stenosis location. The closer to the microcirculation zone the stenosis location, the lower the blood flow velocity, pressure and the wall shear stress. In addition, the velocity trend is transformed from the gradual increase to decrease with the increasing distance away from the inlet when the stenosis location moves to the microcirculation zone. CONCLUSION: This work proves that the stenosis location has a great influence on hemodynamics based on microcirculation function. Microcirculation is an important factor that cannot be ignored in the numerical simulation of arterial hemodynamics. The numerical results could provide the potential of clinical preconditions for disease diagnosis and treatment.

Authors: Kim Kyoung-Il , Im Sang-Cheol , Kim Kyoung
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND: Many previous studies have cited the importance of trunk stabilization exercises in patients with stroke. However, the evidence for optimal trunk stabilization exercises for patients with stroke is still lacking. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of laser pointer visual feedback in trunk stabilization exercises that are important for improving trunk dysfunction in patients with stroke. METHODS: In total, 30 patients with chronic stroke were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent a traditional stroke rehabilitation program and trunk stabilization exercises using laser pointer visual feedback. The control group underwent a traditional stroke rehabilitation program and trunk stabilization exercises without visual feedback. Pre- and postintervention results after 6 weeks were evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale, static and dynamic plantar pressure, 10-m walk test, and the Korean version of the Fall Efficacy Scale. The results were analyzed using a general linear repeated measurement model. RESULTS: Both groups showed significant improvements in BBS scores, static plantar pressure, dynamic plantar pressure, 10 MWT, and K-FES scores after 6 weeks of intervention (P< 0.05). Compared to the control group, significant improvements were observed in the experimental group in the Berg Balance Scale scores, dynamic paretic posterior plantar pressure, 10-m walk test, and Korean version of the Fall Efficacy Scale scores (P< 0.025). CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated the effectiveness of visual feedback during trunk stabilization exercises for resolving trunk dysfunction in patients with stroke. Trunk stabilization exercises using laser pointer visual feedback have been found to be more effective in balance, walking, and fall efficacy in patients with stroke.

Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND: Grip force estimation is highly required in realizing flexible and accurate prosthetic control. OBJECTIVE: This study presents a method to accurately estimate continuous grip force from surface electromyography (sEMG) under three forearm postures for unilateral amputees. METHODS: Ten able-bodied subjects and a transradial amputee were recruited. sEMG signals were recorded from six forearm muscles on the dominant side of each able-bodied subject and the stump of amputee. Meanwhile, grip force was synchronously measured from the ipsilateral hands of able-bodied subjects and contralateral hand of amputee. Three force profiles (triangle, trapezoid, and fast triangle) were tested under three forearm postures (supination, neutral and pronation). Two algorithms (Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) and Multilinear Regression Model (MLR)) were compared using several EMG features. The estimation performance was evaluated by coefficient of determination (R2) and mean absolute error (MAE). RESULTS: The optimal regressor combining TD and GRNN achieved R2= 96.33 ± 1.13% and MAE= 2.11 ± 0.52% for the intact subjects, and R2= 86.86% and MAE= 2.13% for the amputee. The results indicated that multiple grip force curves under three forearm postures could be accurately estimated for unilateral amputees using mirrored bilateral training. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed method has the potential for precise force control of prosthetic hands.

Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND: A method for prescribing the difficulty or intensity of standing balance exercises has been validated in a healthy population, but requires additional validation in individuals with vestibular disorders. OBJECTIVE: This study validated the use of ratings of perceived difficulty for estimation of balance exercise intensity in individuals with vestibular disorders. METHODS: Eight participants with a confirmed diagnosis of a vestibular disorder and 16 healthy participants performed two sets of 16 randomized static standing exercises across varying levels of difficulty. Root Mean Square (RMS) of trunk angular velocity was recorded using an inertial measurement unit. In addition, participants rated the perceived difficulty of each exercise using a numerical scale ranging from 0 (very easy) to 10 (very difficult). To explore the concurrent validity of rating of perceived difficulty scale, the relationship between ratings of perceived difficulty and sway velocity was assessed using multiple linear regression for each group. RESULTS: The rating of perceived difficulty scale demonstrated moderate positive correlations RMS of trunk velocity in the pitch (r = 0.51, p < 0.001) and roll (r = 0.73, p < 0.001) directions in participants with vestibular disorders demonstrating acceptable concurrent validity. CONCLUSIONS: Ratings of perceived difficulty can be used to estimate the intensity of standing balance exercises in individuals with vestibular disorders.
ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ALGORITHM FOR DETERMINATION OF STADIA CONSTANT OF ELECTRONIC TACHOMETERS
Authors: Lysko Bohdan , Martyniuk Ivan
Published: September 2022

An algorithm for determining the stadia constant of the rangefinder is developed and tested. This algorithm is based on the generalized reduced gradient (GRG) method with consistent use of criteria of minimizing the maximum deviation and minimizing the total sum of squares of deviations. There were some stages of the research. First, we carried out 200 measurements with equal accuracy by a SOUTH NTS-350 electronic tachometer. The statistical processing of measurement results enabled specification of the optimal number of measurements for the device taking into account the dependence of the correlation values of instrumental and random errors. Having determined the optimal number of measurements, we continued the study of the proposed method of calculating the stadia constant of electronic tachometers. According to the data obtained during the measurement of the range of the target, which consisted of four points, conditional equations were compiled. These conditional equations are based on the relationships between the length of the measured target and its segments in all combinations, taking into account the stadia constant of the rangefinder. Due to the large number of measurements, the solution of such system of equations is to find the minimum of some function for determining the errors of the measured distances. Our methodology is based on the use of the Lagrange multiplier method in finding the solution of a nonlinear programming problem, which in most software resources is called the Nonlinear Generalized Consolidated Gradient (GRG). The essence of this solution is to find a conditional local extremum. In this case, it is most appropriate to consistently use the criteria of minimizing the maximum deviation and minimizing the total sum of squares of deviations. The method of minimizing the maximum deviation makes it possible to reject gross errors in the measured values. The following minimization of the total sum of squares of deviations will allow to minimize random errors of the measured distances, as the selected samples are subject to the normal distribution law. Thus, the most probable value of the constant correction of the rangefinder and lengths of the measured target and its segments for all possible combinations has been obtained.

Published: September 2022

The status of rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (RAS) proteins is a negative predictive biomarker for anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy in metastatic colon cancer. In the phase 2 CHRONOS trial, patients with mutant gene(s) are ineligible for anti-EGFR therapy. However, our studies revealed that splicing caused by the RAS mutations, which were considered oncogenic, generates unfunctional RAS family. Especially, Kirsten Rat Sarcoma (KRAS) silent variants are of concern to be a serious problem in genomic cancer medicine.
Social status in the modern intercultural communications
Authors: Kanyukova Irina , Sydorovska Evgeniya
Published: September 2022

The purpose of the article is to theorize the features of the communicative process in accordance with the social status of the individual and identify its specifics in the context of cross-cultural communication. Research methodology. A typological method was used to identify the characteristic features of social status; method of system analysis and synthesis, as well as the method of culturological analysis, which contributed to the consideration of social status as an important factor in the culture of communication in general and intercultural communication in particular, etc. Scientific novelty. The social status of the individual is studied and its components (career, income, lifestyle, age, etc.) are analyzed in the context of influencing the features of intracultural and intercultural communicative process; features of self-identification of social status by representatives of different countries are revealed; features of language etiquette as a functional-semantic universal in the context of marking social relations established within the communicative process are considered; the correspondence of the level of intercultural communication to the social role and social prestige of the individual is clarified. Conclusions. Social status as a concept and phenomenon combines the most important socio-economic and socio-psychological characteristics. In the process of intercultural communication, social status, together with the absolute and relative ratios of age, gender, degree of closeness, tone of communication or the degree of adherence to etiquette norms of communicators are among the factors influencing the choice of communication. The study found that the level and features of the communicative act in the process of intercultural communication are most influenced by socio-psychological aspects, such as social role and social prestige. Self-identification of social status in different countries has national-specific features and directly depends on social prestige (for example, Americans and Ukrainians) and the social system (British). In the XXI century. Due to the dynamic intensification of international contacts, communication between representatives of different cultures and social statuses is intensified, which, in the context of interpenetration and mutual adaptation of cultural norms and standards of behavior, affects the transformation of etiquette norms of interethnic communication. At the present stage, the representation of the social status of the individual in the context of self-expression and the formation of their own identity plays an important role. Some elements of intercultural communication become part of the image of the individual, so he can change the perception of belonging to a certain social status, forming the necessary perception of the interlocutor.
Key words: social status, social role, social prestige, intercultural communication, etiquette.

The scientific novelty is to identify the degree of research of the phenomenon of "school of ballroom choreography KNUKiM" and the main approaches to understanding its activities. Conclusions. The analysis of the scientific discourse on the school of ballroom choreography of KNUKiM proved the importance not only of narrow choreographic optics but also the legitimacy of the application of culturological approaches, given the scale of the phenomenon of this school. In fact, only T. Pavliuk and A. Pidlypska consider the "school of ballroom choreography of KNUKiM", and not some aspects of its activities, without calling the phenomenon "school". Most of the authors, resorting to demonstrating the importance of scientific and methodological achievements of ballroom dance teachers KNUKiM, as well as graduates of the Department of Ballroom Choreography, prove the legitimacy of the definition of "scientific and pedagogical school". Despite numerous mentions of the Department of Ballroom Choreography KNUKiM and its representatives, it should be noted that researchers have not paid due attention to the preconditions and characteristics of the formation of art and pedagogical school of ballroom choreography KNUKiM, clarifying the main directions of the Department of Ballroom Choreography its role in the cultural and artistic life of Ukraine, the identification of the personal contribution of school representatives, the development of periodization of school activities, etc. The relevance of such a study is undeniable, and its results can be used in further theoretical developments on the activities of art, pedagogical, scientific schools in the process of cultural creation, choreographic art in Ukraine, etc.

Published: September 2022

Purpose of Research. The purposes of the research are to analyse the artistic works of Pavlo Virsky, the Ukrainian choreographer-director, in the State Honored Academic Dance Ensemble of Ukraine and to reveal the phenomenon of his theatrical folk choreography in the context of theatrical art. Methodology. The scientific methodological basis of the research is the combination of the dialectical principle of knowledge, systemic, socio-cultural and historical approaches, the fundamental provisions of the culture theory and history of. The general scientific and interdisciplinary research methods were used, which revealed the close connection between folk and stage dance and theatre art in the artist's staging work. Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty of the results are to identify and generalise the features of dance art of Ukrainian choreographer, which brought his theatrical performances in the ensemble to a kind of author's folk dance theatre. Conclusions. P. Virsky’s creativity is a living proof of the syncretic connection among dance, stage and theatrical art. These spheres merged so strongly and organically in his many years of work in one of the best dance groups in Ukraine, because everything he did in the national folk choreography had a pronounced theatrical and figurative character. Having absorbed modern ideas and forms of choreography, reworking them into his plot productions, the artist forms clear guidelines for the synthesis of folk – choreographic and theatrical arts. Thus, he allegedly points to a promising direction in the development of folk dance art in Ukraine. In addition, as a result of the analysis of artistic and stylistic features of P. Virsky's artistic works we have found out that he managed to expand the genre boundaries of folk-stage dance art, bringing them closer to the style of performance. This allows us to talk about a kind of author's folk dance theatre, the basic basis of which was the State Honored Academic Dance Ensemble of Ukraine.

Authors: Sánchez-Quinto Camilo Eduardo
Published: September 2022

Una de las lecciones que dejó la crisis financiera de 2008 fue la importancia de monitorear el riesgo sistémico en la búsqueda de la estabilidad de los sistemas financieros. Al respecto se han desarrollado líneas de investigación que, tomando la mayor cantidad de información, tienen el objetivo de brindar métricas fiables y oportunas de este riesgo. Entre ellas se encuentra el SRISK (Brownlees & Engle, 2016), una medida que combina el comportamiento del mercado, la relación de solvencia, el nivel de apalancamiento y los resultados contables de las entidades financieras para hallar el riesgo sistémico bajo un escenario de crisis financiera. Este documento replica la metodología SRISK ajustada para el sistema bancario colombiano a través de modelos GJR-GARCH-DCC. Los resultados indican que, si bien el riesgo sistémico en la banca ha sido históricamente bajo, este alcanzó su máximo histórico en 2020, mostrando el impacto de la crisis sanitaria del Covid-19. Adicionalmente, se encuentra que el SRISK se correlaciona con variables de la actividad productiva y financiera, además tener capacidad predictiva en sentido de Granger.
