Extraction of compact ceramic electrode materials based on the Ti‒B‒Fe system modified by nanosized AlN particles by SHS extrusion
Authors: Bolotskaya A. V. , Mikheev M. V. 
Published: September 2020

Compact ceramic electrode materials based on the Ti‒B‒Fe system modified with nanosized particles of aluminum nitride (up to 15 wt. %) were obtained by SHS extrusion. The effect of additives on the combustion characteristics of the studied system, as well as on the structure and phase composition of the obtained materials, is studied. The addition of aluminum nitride increases the content of boride and nitride phases in the final product. It was found that the introduction of modifying nanosized particles of aluminum nitride into the initial charge leads to the grinding of grains of boride and nitride phases, which together increases the microhardness by 10 %, in comparison with unmodified samples.
Enhanced Wound Healing With Caloric Restriction, Refeeding, And Intermittent Fasting: Dietary Strategies In Support Of Bioproliferative Injection Therapies
Authors: Inklebarger J James Inklebarger J 
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT:
Caloric restriction followed by re-feeding (CRRF), Intermittent fasting (IF) and ketogenic diets (KD) are known to be supportive of wound healing in animal models. Evidence also suggests that injections of bio-proliferative solutions (prolotherapy) in combination with functional range of motion exercises also promote tissue regeneration via wound healing mechanisms. Intermittent fasting and Ketogenic diets also favor wound healing, and may therefore synergistically support the regenerative effects of prolotherapy.
A systemic review of Pubmed, Google Scholar, and other databases was conducted. Though no published sources directly linking these types of diets to an enhanced bio-proliferative injection response were identified, several studies did demonstrate that bio-regenerative responses of CRRF diets and prolotherapy share a common wound-healing pathway. However, further research would be required to confirm and quantify if KD, CRRF, or IF diets are complimentary to prolotherapy.

Authors: Norell Candetoft Maria 
Published: September 2020

PICO question
What is the incidence of postoperative uterine pathology in ovariectomised bitches compared to ovariohysterectomised bitches?

Clinical bottom line
Category of research question
Incidence
The number and type of study designs reviewed
Three retrospective case series
Strength of evidence
Weak
Outcomes reported
None of the reviewed case series found any uterine pathology for ovariectomised bitches in the long-term follow-up of several years, although none of the studies performed a proper gynaecological examination to confirm a lack of pathology
Conclusion
With the limited evidence available, it appears that leaving the uterus when gonadectomising bitches does not seem to have a high risk for developing pathology as long as the ovaries are completely removed.

How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

Abstract
Background: Iran has a low incidence of, but a higher rate of death from, cervical cancer (CC). The country is in the process of implementing an organized screening program including HPV testing and cytology. Studies show high drop-out in continued testing among eligible women. This qualitative study aimed to explore women’s awareness regarding CC and CC testing, and the role of knowledge, perceived risk, and cues to action in this process. Methods: In a qualitative study based on the Framework Method we recruited 81 women aged between 25-65 years, who participated in 15 focus group discussions (FGDs) and two in-depth interviews in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Interviewees were selected purposefully from households in different socioeconomic classes until data saturation, during January to May 2015. Data were acquired through 11 open-ended questions and 32 related probe questions. All interviews were transcribed and independently analyzed by two researchers (Kappa and agreement testing respectively: 0.77, 97.11%).Results: Coded texts were categorized under three themes and 13 subthemes. The three thematic areas referred to knowledge, cues to action and perceived risks regarding cervical cancer and screening. Results showed that women had limited and unspecified knowledge about cervical cancer and screening, compounded by misconceptions regarding infection and cancer prevention measures. Social and cultural barriers hindered proper communication between health system/providers and clients, and within communities on subjects related to cervical cancer and screening. Perceived risk of getting CC was low because of overestimating the role of hereditary factors for CC, difficulty in differentiating between cancer and sexually transmitted infections, and the absence of visible symptoms.Conclusions: The results indicate a strong need to invest more efforts to improve health education and communication in the current national health program to promote awareness of the need to screen for CC, through, for example, establishing correct knowledge and risk perceptions among women. In addition, this intervention should address women’s social environment in order to prevent misconceptions being communicated to women.
Shared decision-making in advance care planning for persons with dementia in nursing homes: a cross-sectional study.
Authors: Goossens Bart , Sevenants Aline , Declercq Anja , Audenhove Chantal Van 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background: Shared decision-making provides an approach to discuss advance care planning in a participative and informed manner, embodying the principles of person-centered care. A number of guided approaches to achieve shared decision-making already exist, such as the three-talk model. However, it is uncertain whether daily practice methods in nursing home wards for persons with dementia comply with the underpinnings of this model. It is also uncertain whether professionals consider shared decision-making to be important in this context, and whether they perceive themselves sufficiently competent to practice this approach frequently. Methods: The study has a cross-sectional design, with 65 wards (46 Belgian nursing homes) participating in the study. We compared nursing home professionals’ and residents’ perspectives on the level of shared decision-making during advance care planning conversations with ratings from external raters. Residents and professionals rated the level of shared decision-making by means of a questionnaire, which included the topic of the conversation. External raters assessed audio recordings of the conversations. Professionals filled in an additional self-report questionnaire on the importance of shared decision-making, their competence in practicing the approach, and with what frequency.Results: At ward level, professionals and residents rated the average achieved level of shared decision-making 71.53/100 (σ=16.09) and 81.11/100 (σ=19.18) respectively. Meanwhile, raters gave average scores of 26.97/100 (σ=10.45). Only 23.8% of residents referred to advance care planning as the topic of the conversation. Professionals considered shared decision-making to be important (x̄=4.48/5, σ=0.26). This result contrasted significantly with the frequency (x̄=3.48/5, σ=0.51) and competence (x̄=3.76/5, σ=0.27) with which these skills were practiced (P<0.001).Conclusions: Residents with dementia are grateful when involved in discussing their care, but find it difficult to report what is discussed during these conversations. Receiving more information about advance care planning could provide them with the knowledge needed to prepare for such a conversation. External raters observe a discrepancy between the three-talk model and daily practice methods. Training programs should focus on providing professionals with better knowledge of and skills for shared decision-making. They should also promote team-based collaboration to increase the level of person-centered care in nursing home wards for persons with dementia.
Measuring the prevalence of 60 health conditions in older Australians in residential aged care with electronic health records: a retrospective dynamic cohort study

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background: The number of older Australians using aged care services is increasing, yet there is an absence of reliable data on their health. Multimorbidity in this population has not been well described. A clear picture of the health status of people using aged care is essential for informing health practice and policy to support evidence-based, equitable, high-quality care. Our objective was to describe the health status of older Australians living in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) and develop a model for monitoring health conditions using data from electronic health record systems. Methods: Using a dynamic retrospective cohort of 9436 RACF residents living in 68 RACFs in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory from 2014-2017, we developed an algorithm to identify residents’ conditions using: aged care funding assessments; medications administered; and clinical notes from their facility electronic health record (EHR). We generated age and sex-specific prevalence estimates for 60 health conditions. Agreement between conditions recorded in aged care funding assessments and those documented in residents’ EHRs was evaluated using Cohen’s Kappa. Cluster analysis was used to describe combinations of health conditions (multimorbidity) occurring among residents.Results: Using all data sources, 93% of residents had some form of circulatory disease, with hypertension the most common (62%). Most residents (93%) had a mental or behavioural disorder, including dementia (58%) or depression (54%). For most conditions, EHR data identified approximately twice the number of people with the condition compared to aged care funding assessments. Agreement between data sources was highest for multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease and dementia. The cluster analysis identified seven groups with distinct combinations of health conditions and demographic characteristics and found that the most complex cluster represented a group of residents that had on average the longest lengths of stay in residential care.Conclusions: The prevalence of many health conditions among RACF residents in Australia is underestimated in previous reports. Aged care EHR data have the potential to be used to better understand the complex health needs of this vulnerable population and can help fill the information gaps needed for population health surveillance and quality monitoring.
A longitudinal study of the turning points and trajectories of therapeutic relationship development in occupational and physical therapy
Authors: Horton Ayana , Hebson Gail , Holman David 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background The importance of the therapeutic relationship is widely recognised across healthcare professions. Despite the importance of therapeutic relationships, there are significant gaps in the knowledge base on how these relationships develop. To address these gaps, this study explores relationship dynamics by identifying relational turning points and trajectories in therapeutic relationships between occupational therapists and physical therapists and their patients. The implications for how a focus on these relational aspects can enhance clinical practice will be discussed.Methods Data collection was based on the Retrospective Interview Technique and consisted of two phases. In the first phase patients and therapists were asked to tell the story of their therapeutic relationship development and as part of this, identify the turning points that occurred. In the second phase, therapists-patient dyads were observed from their first interaction to their last to identify potential turning points and at the end of the relationship a participant verification interview was conducted with both dyadic partners individually. Template analysis was used to analyse the data.Results Therapists identified 6 distinct categories of turning points; Progress Towards Goals, Set-backs in Progress Towards Goals, Interpersonal Affective Bonding with Patients, Interpersonal Problems with Patients, Positive Feedback, and Negative Feedback. Patients identified 5 categories of turning points; Progress Towards Goals, Set-backs in Progress Towards Goals, Interpersonal Affective Bonding with Therapists, Agreement with Therapist and Change in Treatment. These turning points varied regarding their impact on the trajectory of the therapeutic relationship. The trajectory patterns identified were stable, upward, downward, and multidirectional.Conclusion This study makes an important contribution to our understanding of therapeutic relationship dynamics in the occupational and physical therapy context. The results expose the challenges that therapists and patients face in building high-quality therapeutic relationships, the diversity of therapeutic relationships, and how these relationships develop over time. This is the first study to use a turning point analysis in research on therapeutic relationships.
