Abstract
Background: Curved periacetabular osteotomy (CPO) was developed to treat acetabular dysplasia. Given that CPO can improve physical function in the early post-operative period, patients might be able to participate in sports activities post-operatively. Therefore, this study examined the post-operative sports activity participation and characteristics of acetabular dysplasia patients who have undergone CPO. Methods: A total of 52 patients who underwent CPO for acetabular dysplasia were given a questionnaire on pre- and post-operative sports activities; 43 patients responded. We surveyed patients’ sports activities, satisfaction, and physical function. Patients were divided according to whether they participated in sports activities after CPO. Physical function was compared before and after CPO. Results: The pre- and post-operative sports activity participation rates were 55.8% and 72.1%, respectively. Patients mostly performed low-impact sports activities. Moreover, patients who participated in sports activities post-operatively returned to full weight-bearing earlier. Conclusions: Among acetabular dysplasia patients who underwent CPO, 72.1% participated in sports activities post-operatively. Post-operatively, patients participated not only in low-impact sports activities, but also in high-impact ones. These findings are important for clinical decision-making for CPO and should be communicated to patients.

Abstract

Background: Early booking of antenatal care is regarded as a cornerstone of maternal and neonatal health care. However, existing evidence from developing countries indicates that lots of pregnant women begin ANC booking lately. According to WHO report 2016, 34% of women made their ANC visit at first trimester of pregnancy. According to Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey 2016, 62% of pregnant women who gave birth in five years preceding the survey received antenatal care from a skilled provider and 20% of women made their first ANC visit before the four-month of pregnancy. This reveals that that significant proportion of pregnant women have not started ANC timely.Objective: This study was aimed to assess timing of first ANC booking among pregnant women attending Nekemte referral hospital, East Wollega, Oromia, Ethiopia. Method: The study was conducted among pregnant women attending ANC clinic at public health facilities in Nekemte town from February to March 2017. A total of 376 pregnant women were included in the study. The average monthly client load from the daily average ANC clients flow of the hospital and health center was taken from the registry book after which systematic random sampling was used to select women who participated in the study. Thus, every other pregnant woman entering ANC service were selected for the study in the public health facilities. Data entry was made using Epi-info version 7.2 and then exported to SPSS version 20 for further analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to describe variables of the study.Result: Three hundred forty-seven (92.3 %) respondents reported that they were informed when to book ANC of which 165 (47.56%) mentioned that the right time to start ANC is within 12 weeks of gestation. In this study, the timing of the first ANC booking ranged from 8 weeks to 24 weeks of gestation with mean timing of gestational 12 weeks. A total of 163(43.4%) respondents early booked within12 weeks of gestation; while 213 (56.6%) booked after 12 weeks of gestation. Conclusion: Less than half of the respondents made their first ANC timely. Though early ANC booking was seen to be higher in this study compared to others, it is still below the WHO recommendation. Therefore, factors related to late ANC booking should be further investigated and appropriate intervention should be made to address problems which may arise early time before 12 weeks of gestational age.

Abstract
End of the year 2019 marks an unprecedented outbreak of a pandemic named COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2. It was initiated in China and later spread to the whole world, currently inflicting almost 200 countries. After China, few other countries have emerged as potential epicenters of this disease including the US, Italy, Spain and Pakistan, as indicated by the World Health Organization (WHO). Since proper preventive and curative measures in the form of a vaccine or medication are currently unavailable throughout the world, the only remedy devised to stop the spread of this virus is self-isolation. Such a measure necessitates ample awareness and understanding among people to avoid actions that lead to the spread of this virus. Pakistan is the fifth-most populous country in the world (212.2 million) and has a record of contagious outbreaks in the past. Therefore, it is key to evaluate the general understanding regarding the cause, spread and control of this disease in Pakistani population and acquire data to anticipate the possible spread and persistence of this disease to design relevant preventive measures. We have attempted to collect such data from professionals who are susceptible to acquiring the infection due to an unavoidable exposure. Keeping in view the current lock down, we have relied on an internet based collection of data by filling a self-designed questionnaire that is responded to by 1132. Descriptive and Frequency Analysis were performed on the responses received using MS Excel and SPSS software. To our expectations, almost after a month of the coronavirus outbreak in Pakistan, above 50% to up to 90% of the recorded responses against every question showed ample understanding regarding the cause, spread and control of the disease which is an indicator of effective public awareness campaigns throughout the country largely based on media drive.All authors contributed equally to this work.

Abstract
The nematicidal activity of crudely milled powders of stems, leaves, and bulbs of Cassia abbreviata, Cissus cactiformis, Euphorbia ingens, Ipomoea kituiensis, Synadenium cupulare, Senna petersiana, Urigenia sanguinea, Maerua angolensis, and Tabernaemontana elegans on eggs and J2 population densities of Meloidogyne incognita race 2 on tomato was examined under glasshouse conditions. These plant species have medicinal properties and are being used in South Africa by traditional healers as so-called “muti.” All plant species showed a suppressive effect. Relative to untreated control, the soil amendments consistently suppressed M. incognita population densities in tomato roots and the reproductive potential (RP) of the nematode. When compared to fenamiphos, a commercial systemic chemical nematicide, the soil amendments performed comparable or better in suppressing nematode populations in the root systems in 2008 and 2009, but fenamiphos performed better than all soil amendments in 2011. The RP of M. incognita was comparable for both soil amendment- and fenamiphos-treated plants. No consistent trend in the effect of the soil amendments on plant root and shoot bioweight was observed, except when plants were treated with T. elegans-based soil amendments and both root and shoot bioweight were consistently higher compared with untreated control plants. Our results show that the plant species examined are potential sources of phytonematicides effective against M. incognita race 2.

Published: April 2020

AbstractThe genesis of high-silica igneous rocks is important for understanding the behavior of shallow magmatic systems. However, although many such studies have focused on the eruption of crystal-poor high-SiO2 rhyolites, the origin of high-silica granites (HSGs) has received comparatively little attention. Here, we present a detailed study of HSGs from the Narusongduo volcanic complex, Gangdese arc. Combining zircon U-Pb geochronology with stratigraphic investigations, we show that the Narusongduo magmatic system was constructed over a period of ≥3.7 Myr with or without lulls. On the basis of zircon textures and ages, diverse zircon populations, including antecrysts and autocrysts, are recognized within the HSGs and volcanic rocks. All of the igneous rocks within the Narusongduo volcanic complex have highly radiogenic Sr–Nd isotopic compositions. Our results indicate the presence of an andesitic magma reservoir in the upper crust at a paleodepth of ~8 km. Ubiquitous zircon antecrysts in the HSGs, combined with compositional similarities between the HSGs and evolved melts of the andesitic magma reservoir, indicate that the Narusongduo HSGs represent melts extracted from the shallow magma reservoir. In addition, our results suggest that magma recharge promoted the escape of high-silica melts to form the Narusongduo HSGs. This work presents an excellent case that kilometer-scale high-silica granites are the differentiated products from an upper crustal magma reservoir. It would make a contribution to contemporary debates concerning the efficiency of crystal–melt separation in upper crustal magmatic systems.
Quercetin-Mediated Apoptosis and Cellular Senescence in Human Colon Cancer
Authors: Özsoy Serpil , Becer Eda , Kabadayı Hilal , Vatansever Hafize S. , Yücecan Sevinç 
Published: April 2020

Background:
Quercetin is a flavonol from the flavonoid group of polyphenols, which positively affects
human health due to its anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and cardioprotective effects. The effects of
phenolic compounds, including quercetin, on programmed cell death and cellular senescence, have been the subject
of research in recent years.

Objective:
In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of quercetin on cell viability, apoptosis and cellular
senescence in primary (Colo-320) and metastatic (Colo-741) colon adenocarcinoma cell lines.

Methods:
Cytotoxicity was analyzed via MTT assay in Colo-320 and Colo-741 cell lines. After quercetin treatment,
cell ularsenescence and apoptosis were evaluated by TUNEL staining, X-Gal staining and indirect peroxidase technique
for immunocytochemical analysis of related proteins such as Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, Hsp27, Lamin B1, p16,
cyclin B1.

Results:
The effective dose for inhibition of cell growth in both cell lines was determined to be 25μg/ml quercetin
for 48 hours. Increased Baximmunoreactivityfollowingquercetin treatment was significant in both Colo-320 and
Colo-741 cell lines, but decreased Bcl-2 immunoreactivitywas significant only in theColo-320 primary cell line. In
addition, after quercetin administration, the number of TUNEL positive cells and, immunoreactivities for p16,
Lamin B1 and cyclin B1 in both Colo-320 and Colo-741 cells increased.

Conclusion:
Our results suggest that quercetin may only induce apoptosis in primary colon cancer cells. Furthermore,
quercetin also triggered senescence in colon cancer cells, but some cells remained alive, suggesting that colon
cancer cells might have escaped from senescence.
Precision Health–Enabled Machine Learning to Identify Need for Wraparound Social Services Using Patient- and Population-Level Data Sets: Algorithm Development and Validation
Authors: Kasthurirathne Suranga N , Grannis Shaun , Halverson Paul K , Morea Justin , Menachemi Nir , Vest Joshua R 
Published: April 2020

Background
Emerging interest in precision health and the increasing availability of patient- and population-level data sets present considerable potential to enable analytical approaches to identify and mitigate the negative effects of social factors on health. These issues are not satisfactorily addressed in typical medical care encounters, and thus, opportunities to improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and improve coordination of care are not realized. Furthermore, methodological expertise on the use of varied patient- and population-level data sets and machine learning to predict need for supplemental services is limited.

Objective
The objective of this study was to leverage a comprehensive range of clinical, behavioral, social risk, and social determinants of health factors in order to develop decision models capable of identifying patients in need of various wraparound social services.

Methods
We used comprehensive patient- and population-level data sets to build decision models capable of predicting need for behavioral health, dietitian, social work, or other social service referrals within a safety-net health system using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), sensitivity, precision, F1 score, and specificity. We also evaluated the value of population-level social determinants of health data sets in improving machine learning performance of the models.

Results
Decision models for each wraparound service demonstrated performance measures ranging between 59.2%% and 99.3%. These results were statistically superior to the performance measures demonstrated by our previous models which used a limited data set and whose performance measures ranged from 38.2% to 88.3% (behavioural health: F1 score P<.001, AUROC P=.01; social work: F1 score P<.001, AUROC P=.03; dietitian: F1 score P=.001, AUROC P=.001; other: F1 score P=.01, AUROC P=.02); however, inclusion of additional population-level social determinants of health did not contribute to any performance improvements (behavioural health: F1 score P=.08, AUROC P=.09; social work: F1 score P=.16, AUROC P=.09; dietitian: F1 score P=.08, AUROC P=.14; other: F1 score P=.33, AUROC P=.21) in predicting the need for referral in our population of vulnerable patients seeking care at a safety-net provider.

Conclusions
Precision health–enabled decision models that leverage a wide range of patient- and population-level data sets and advanced machine learning methods are capable of predicting need for various wraparound social services with good performance.
A Psychosocial Support Website From the British Association of Dermatologists for People Living With a Skin Condition: Mixed Methods Evaluation
Authors: Heapy Connor , Montgomery Kerry , Ersser Steven , Gass Matt , Goad Nina , Thompson Andrew R 
Published: April 2020

Background
There is a lack of psychological support for individuals with skin conditions, and few low-intensity self-help interventions are available.

Objective
This study aimed to test the acceptability and usability of a support website and its embedded self-help resources.

Methods
A mixed methods approach was utilized. A total of 583 participants (426 with a skin condition, 97 relatives and friends, and 60 dermatology professionals) viewed the British Association of Dermatologist’s SkinSupport website and then completed a survey about their well-being and the usability of the website. A comparison group comprising 816 participants also completed the well-being measures. In total, 37 participants (19 living with a skin condition, and the relatives and friends of individuals with a skin condition, and 18 dermatology professionals) viewed the SkinSupport website and then took part in focus groups. Participants were recruited via social media, professional networks, and volunteer lists. Data from the survey were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and qualitative content analysis.

Results
Both quantitative and qualitative responses suggest that the SkinSupport website was viewed positively by both patients and health professionals. Overall, 79.8% (417/523) of individuals with a skin condition, and the relatives and friends of individuals with a skin condition, said that they would use the website again; and 86.7% (52/60) of dermatology professionals said that they would recommend the site to somebody with a skin condition. Qualitative responses related to the website fell into 4 key themes: (1) appearance, (2) use and navigation, (3) information, and (4) areas for development.

Conclusions
The SkinSupport website was considered acceptable and usable. A range of areas requiring modification were identified. The website provides a useful resource that patients can access freely. Given the lack of services available to patients with skin conditions, health care professionals could routinely inform patients of this resource at assessment.

Authors: Siedlikowski Maia , Rauch Frank , Tsimicalis Argerie 
Published: April 2020

BackgroundChildren with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) experience acute and chronic symptoms that expose them to physical, mental, and social challenges. Empowering these children by involving them in their care can help them to cope with OI. Sisom is an interactive assessment and communication tool designed to help children aged 6-12 years with chronic illnesses express their symptoms. This tool has not yet been adapted to the unique needs of OI.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to develop a Sisom OI paper prototype by seeking the perspectives of end users.MethodsA participatory approach was adopted to develop the prototype overseen by an expert panel of 9 clinicians at a university-affiliated pediatric hospital. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 12 children with OI who were aged 6-12 years. The study was carried out over the course of 3 feedback cycles. Data were deductively interpreted using content analysis techniques.ResultsOverall, 64% (57/89) of the Sisom symptoms were deemed relevant for inclusion in Sisom OI, with 42% (37/89) directly incorporated and 22% (20/89) incorporated with changes. In total, 114 symptoms were used to create the prototype, of which 57 were newly generated. The relevant symptoms addressed children’s thoughts and feelings about hospitalization and their wishes for participation in their own care. The new symptoms addressed fractures, body image, and social isolation related to difficulties with accessibility and intimidation.ConclusionsOnce developed, Sisom OI will offer clinicians an innovative and child-centered approach to capture children’s perspectives on their condition.

Objective To evaluate the reporting of rehabilitation guidelines in studies of postoperative outcomes of patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome and/or labral tear. Design Scoping review. Literature Search A computer-assisted literature search was conducted of the MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase databases on June 17, 2018. Using key words related to FAI syndrome/labral tear and both open and arthroscopic surgical outcomes, we identified 169 studies that included 16 675 patients. Separate authors calculated and verified the prevalence of reported outcomes. Study Selection Criteria We included intervention and observational studies that were prospective or retrospective in design. Studies must have included patients with a primary diagnosis of FAI syndrome and/or labral tear. Data Synthesis We calculated the mean ± SD prevalence for continuous variables, where possible. Results Hip arthroscopy was the primary surgical procedure (76% of studies). The mean ± SD age of participants was 34.8 ± 9.2 years and the mean ± SD follow-up time was 27 ± 15.3 months. Of the 169 included studies, 74 (44%) discussed phases of rehabilitation, 49 (29%) reported details on goals between phases, 1 in 3 described details on rehabilitation progression, and fewer than 1 in 10 reported sufficient detail to replicate the rehabilitation protocol. Weight-bearing and range-of-motion restrictions were poorly reported and variable in duration. Conclusion Surgical outcome studies do not provide sufficient detail or consistency for practicing clinicians to replicate a postoperative rehabilitation protocol for patients with FAI syndrome/labral tear.
