Клинико-терапевтично наблюдение при пациент с транстиретинова фамилна амилоидна полиневропатия (4-годишно проследяване)
Authors: Гинова-Нончева Гергана , Димов Николай , Николов Димитър 
Published: January 2020

Транстиретиновата фамилна амилоидна полиневропатия (TTR-FAP) е автозомно доминантно заболяване, причинено от мутации в гена за транстиретин, като най-широко разпространена е мутацията V30M (eдиничната аминокиселинна субституция на метионин за валин на позиция 30). Въпреки, че при всеки транстиретинов вариант има различна клинична картина, преобладават периферната невропатия и кардиомиопатията. Бъбречното увреждане не е толкова често. Първоначално се е смятало, че това заболяване следва доброкачествена еволюция по отношение на бъбреците, по-късно е установено, че прогресия до краен стадий на бъбречно заболяване се среща при 10% от пациентите, като естествен ход на болестта. Откриването и прогнозата на TTR-FAP нефропатията зависят от наличието на албуминурия и повишена концентрация на серумния креатинин. Честа е и вегетативната дисфункция, проявявана като сексуални нарушения или уринарни инфекции. Нефропатията не корелира с възрастта, продължителността на заболяването или тежестта на невропатията.
Представяме клиничен случай на пациент с транстиретинова фамилна амилоидна полиневропатия, доказана генетично чрез ДНК анализ, лекуван в отделението по нефрология на УМБАЛ „Св. Георги” – Пловдив за период от 4 години.

Authors: Jia Xiuzhi , Cheng Hao , Xiao Ying 
Published: January 2020

As a group of autoimmune diseases, systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc) is characterized by immune dysregulation, micro-vessels dominant obliteration, and the final fibrosis of the skin and or internal organs. Although the precise mechanisms are still unknown, increasing data shows that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and microRNA (miRNA), are strictly related to the pathogenesis of scleroderma. Epigenetic mechanisms, which can link genetics and environmental stress, represents a promising field in systemic sclerosis investigation. The objective of this review is, to sum up the current information about epigenetic alteration.

Published: January 2020

abstract
This retrospective study evaluated the surgical management of 117 tibial plateau fractures treated between 1990 and 1998. At last patient fol low-up, results were rated good to excellent in 94, fair in 13, and poor in 10 cases, follow-up radiographs showed degenerative changes in the lateral compartment in 29 cases. Other complications included five wound infections, two deep venous thromboses, five delayed unions, and three nonunions. Operative treatment of tibial plateau fractures is recommended as it enables better alignment, meniscal access, and other soft-tissue injury repair.
Evidence-Based Approaches to Minimizing Malpractice Risk in Orthopedic Surgery
Authors: Bhattacharyya Timothy 
Published: January 2020

abstract
The malpractice crisis continues unabated in the United States. However, there are many strategies with foundations in scientific study that physicians can use to reduce their malpractice risk. Studies have shown technical error has little relationship with malpractice claims. Patients with higher education levels and socioeconomic status are more likely to file lawsuits. Surgeons should be aware of how to respond in the event a claim is filed. Improving physician-patient communication is the cornerstone of any strategy to reduce malpractice claims.

Authors: Gómez Claudia Lamas , Renart Ignasi Proubasta , Pujals Joan Itarte , Palou Enric Cáceres , Busquets Romà Curell 
Published: January 2020

abstract
From 1995 to 2000, 21 patients (14 women and 7 men) with a mean age of 42 were treated with excision of the pisiform for a dysfunction of the pisotriquetral joint. Follow-up ranged from 6 to 36 months (average: 30 months). The diagnoses included degenerative arthritis of the pisotriquetral joint (15 patients), degenerative arthritis associated with a ganglion (3 patients), and calcifications caused by flexor carpi ulnaris tendinopathy (3 patients). All patients had pain secondary to direct pressure on the pisiform. Side- to-side passive motion of the pisiform occasionally led to pain and crepitus. Degenerative arthritis and calcifications in the pisotriquetral joint were confirmed by a wrist radiograph (lateral view in 30° supination). In five patients, local injection with anesthetic temporarily resolved the symptoms. Excision of the pisiform resulted in complete relief of pain without functional deficit.

Abstract
Context: Adhesive restorations in cervical, noncarious, and nonretentive cavities are used as a clinical model for the evaluation of adhesive systems. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate restorations made by dental students of the last year of dentistry made with a self-etching and etching-and-rinse adhesive system. Materials and Methods: Eighty-two noncarious cervical lesions Class V cavities were restored after randomly be allocated into two adhesive groups: self-etch (AdheSe self-etch) or an etch-and-rinse (Tetric N-Bond). Operators were two well-trained students of the last year of dental school and the restorations were evaluated using a single examiner, specialist in restorative dentistry, blinded and calibrated using the criteria according to the modified United States Public Health Service. Descriptive analysis, Chi-square test to evaluate associations, and survival analysis by the Kaplan–Meier were used for statistical analysis. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the evaluation of adhesive systems in Class V restorations (P = 0.160). There was also no statistically difference (P = 0.751) in the assessment of the existence of occlusal interference on lateral movement and loss of restorations. The survival rate calculated for the total restorations was 89%. The survival rate of the restorations when used etch-and-rinse adhesive systems was 92.7% while with the self-etching of 85.4%. Nine restorations were classified as lost, and one restoration cannot be assessed due to the patient having it replaced before evaluation, and the other eight restorations were lost getting the score Charlie for retention. Conclusions: Class V dental restorations had a satisfactory survival rate irrespective of the adhesive system.

Abstract
Objectives: This study investigates the root configuration and prevalence of multiple canals in mandibular incisors among a Saudi subpopulation in the Al-Madinah Al-Munawara region using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: The study included imaging data from 929 CBCT scans. All scans were obtained using a CBCT device (Carestream SM 749, Rochester, NY, USA). Each scan was analyzed in two orthogonal planes (axial and sagittal) to explore information regarding tooth identification, the number of roots, and the internal morphology of the mandibular incisors. Vertucci’s classification was used to categorize the canal configuration of the mandibular incisors. Statistical Analysis: Data interpretation was performed using SPSS software. Chi-square and one-way analysis of variance tests were applied for data analysis (P < 0.05). Results: Five hundred and twenty-three CBCT scans were excluded according to the set criteria. A total of 1624 mandibular incisors were inspected from 406 CBCT scans. In females, 275 (64.8%) teeth showed Type I configurations, and 125 (29.4%) showed Type III configurations. In males, 563 (46.9%) teeth showed Type III configurations, and 543 (45.2%) showed Type I configurations. In terms of the number of roots, all samples showed single-rooted mandibular incisors. Conclusion: All participants’ mandibular incisors had single roots with a high incidence of single-canal configurations. The root canal configuration of the majority of lower incisors showed bilateral symmetry.
Nurturing the Prepared Mind: Research During Level II Fieldwork
Authors: Richards Tera A. , Clark Sara , Dapice Wong Stephanie J. , Cohen Helen S. , Garber Susan L. 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Importance: Level II fieldwork is one of the last opportunities for students to learn from clinicians modeling how to gather practice-based data for research before independent practice.
Objective: To identify options for incorporating active research opportunities in the Level II fieldwork experience and the barriers that preclude these opportunities.
Design: Approximately 575 electronic surveys (QuestionPro), consisting of 31 questions, distributed to fieldwork sites.
Participants: A convenience sample of fieldwork educators and clinical fieldwork coordinators recruited from sites in several states.
Outcomes and Measures: We hypothesized that the main obstacles to providing Level II fieldwork students with research experience were a lack of time resulting from productivity pressures and fieldwork educators’ belief that Level II fieldwork should primarily focus on mastering clinical skills.
Results: One hundred thirteen surveys were started, and 95 were completed. Most respondents reported that Level II fieldwork students would benefit from participation in research. However, only two fieldwork sites with occupational therapists involved in research intentionally coordinated Level II fieldwork students in an active research opportunity. Clinical responsibilities and the lack of current experienced investigators at the fieldwork site were the most significant barriers to these opportunities.
Conclusions and Relevance: Fieldwork educators identify ways for Level II fieldwork students to participate in research but typically do not have time or resources to eliminate identified barriers to research participation. Lost opportunities to participate in research in Level II fieldwork must be addressed to promote greater research inquiry in the future occupational therapy clinical workforce.
What This Article Adds: The article adds to the literature describing the barriers to student participation in research activity during Level II Fieldwork and the types of research activity occupational therapy students participated in during a 12-wk rotation.
Occupational Therapy Interventions to Improve Reading Performance of Older Adults With Low Vision: A Systematic Review
Authors: Smallfield Stacy , Kaldenberg Jennifer 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Importance: Low vision affects many older adults and is expected to significantly increase over the next several decades. It has a significant impact on all aspects of daily life, including the reading required for participation in occupations.
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of interventions within the scope of occupational therapy to improve reading required for the performance of occupations by older adults with low vision.
Data Sources: We conducted a systematic review of literature published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and OTseeker databases from 2010 through 2016. The references of retrieved articles were also hand searched.
Study Selection and Data Collection: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to abstract and assess data quality and validity. This review followed the established methodology of the American Occupational Therapy Association Evidence-Based Practice Project.
Findings: Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria and were categorized into three themes: (1) technology, (2) visual skills training, and (3) multicomponent interventions. Moderate evidence supports stand-based electronic magnification and eccentric viewing training to improve reading outcomes. Strong evidence supports multicomponent interventions.
Conclusions and Relevance: Occupational therapy practitioners working with older adults with low vision are strongly encouraged to integrate stand-based electronic magnification, eccentric viewing training, and comprehensive low vision services into routine care. Further research with larger sample sizes and functional reading outcome measures is needed.
What This Article Adds: This review provides additional support for the use of select occupational therapy interventions (stand-based electronic magnification, eccentric viewing training, and comprehensive low vision services) to support the reading required for occupational performance for older adults with low vision. The findings provide guidance to occupational therapy practitioners for selection and implementation of evidence-based interventions for reading.

BETTER BALANCE OF SILICA-REINFORCED NATURAL RUBBER TIRE TREAD COMPOUND PROPERTIES BY THE USE OF MONTMORILLONITE WITH OPTIMUM SURFACE MODIFIER CONTENT
Authors: Fathurrohman Mohammad Irfan , Rugmai Supagorn , Hayeemasae Nabil , Sahakaro Kannika 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT
Reinforcement of silica in tire tread compounds is known to reduce hysteresis or energy loss, which leads to a production of energy-saving tires. Even though silica–silane technology has been well established, further development to enhance its performance is still needed. One of the approaches is to use hybrid or dual filler. The use of silica-organomodified montmorillonite (MMT) dual filler in the reinforcement of natural rubber (NR) truck tire tread compounds is investigated. The NR-MMT master batches were prepared by using the in situ organomodified and latex compounding method. Because the surface-modifying agent or surfactant is a key factor in determining the level of MMT dispersion in the rubber matrix, the effect of quaternary amine salt (Q) contents on mechanical and dynamic properties of NR tread compounds reinforced by silica-MMT was studied. The results revealed that MMT and Q can effectively reduce the filler–filler interaction and complex viscosity owing to a good dispersion of MMT and silica in the NR matrix and Q, which acts as a dispersing agent in addition to the silane coupling agent used in the compound, leading to improvement in tensile, abrasion resistance, and dynamic mechanical properties with an increasing amount of Q. Furthermore, at the optimum content of the surfactant used (36 wt%), the silica-MMT–reinforced NR exhibited improved tensile strength (+4%), wet grip, and rolling resistance, respectively, as indicated by loss tangent at 0 °C (+6%) and 60 °C (−15%), while maintaining a modulus at 300% strain and abrasion resistance as compared with the silica-NR reference compound. Such a dual-filler system demonstrates its potential use for tire treads with better performance.
The Celtic sword with bronze hilt elements from Siarzewo, Nieszawa Commune, Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodeship
Authors: Kieca Piotr , Sobczyk Paweł 
Published: January 2020

A sword with bronze pseudo-anthropomorphic hilt elements typical of the Middle La Tène was found in the Vistula River not far from the village of Siarzewo, Nieszawa commune, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The scabbard was discarded and lost, but the sword is now in the Kujawy and Dobrzyń Land Museum in Włocławek. The hilt consists of three solid bronze elements: the guard, the tang ring, and the pommel.
At present, these elements are separated by empty spaces which were previously covered with elements made from organic materials. The pommel and guard are decorated on the surface with three small circles with a point inside. The blade of the sword is also very interesting. The surface of the sword is covered with a chagrinage decoration. In the middle part of the blade, below the top part of the hilt end, a crescent-shaped, star-like stamp (punchmark) is located. Similar bronze hilts and hilt elements are more typical of Celtic daggers and short swords, hence a sword with these elements appearing a long way north of the main Celtic area is a major surprise and mystery.
Between the Silence of the Past and the Future

Published: January 2020

Archaeomusicological research currently con- ducted at the Institute of Musicology, University of Warsaw, institutionalised thanks to the financial support from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (grant NPRH), gave the opportunity to develop a wider field of research. The project includes not only the documentation of musical instruments but first and foremost experimental studies. We started with completely new research on idiophones (e.g. on the sounds of lithophones and rattles), returned to previously closed topics (e.g. gusli from Opole), and developed reconstruction methods using state-of-the-art technology (e.g. the reconstruction of flutes).
Roman fort at Cape Aj-Todor (Charax) and its surroundings. A new look at old discoveries
Authors: Karasiewicz-Szczypiorski Radosław 
Published: January 2020

Despite many years of research at the site, the Roman fort at Cape Aj-Todor near Yalta remains rela- tively poorly studied. A better understanding of the discoveries made at the site can be reached by comparing them with the results of the excavations conducted in another fort also located in Crimea – at BalaklavaKadykovka. This text is an attempt at gathering together all the published information about the discoveries made at Cape Aj-Todor. The comparison of the research results from both sites has enabled establishing numerous similarities between them. Both forts functioned simultaneously, and their architectural remains can be qualified to identically dated phases. The final effect of the analysis undertaken by the author is a more complete plan of the fort at Cape Aj-Todor along with its surroundings, processed in a new graphic formula.
Marble relief ‘Nero and Armenia’ from the Sebasteion at aPhrodisias in Caria (Asia Minor)
Authors: Markaryan Hasmik Z. 
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to an artistic and historical study of a marble relief with a symbolic scene of Nero’s victory over Armenia from the Sebasteion sanctuary complex in the ancient town of Aphrodisias in Asia Minor. The temple complex was dedicated to the cult of the Julio-Claudian imperial dynasty. The artistic and stylistic analysis of the relief was performed in the context of the sculptural program and decoration of the whole complex, and took into consideration other images of Nero in the Sebasteion. Through a comparative analysis of the figure personifying Armenia depicted on the marble relief in Aphrodisias, as well as a series of images on coins and small statuary samples, characteristic iconographic traits of Armenia in the Roman imperial art were revealed. Along with this, the paper presents an in-depth ‘reading’ of this scene within the context of specific epi- sodes from the history of the Parthian-Roman conflict and the Roman struggle for Armenia during the period of 54–68 AD.
