Abstract
Background: Earlier studies evaluated the physiological responses to video games in children with different clinical conditions; however, no study has compared active video games with an incremental field test in healthy children. The purpose of this study was to verify the agreement between the 20-meter shuttle run test (20m-SRT) and virtual system (VS). Methods : This is a cross-sectional study of 235 children (9.0 ± 0.8 years, 109 boys). The two tests were performed one week apart and the children were instructed not to engage in any physical exercise or sports in the 24 hours preceding each test. Their resting heart rate was monitored for one minute and then throughout the tests. To evaluate the influence of motivation on the 20 m SRT and (VS), at the end of the tests the children were asked to rate their motivation on a scale of zero to 10, zero being “not cool” and 10 “awesome”. Perceived exertion at the end of the tests was assessed using the modified Borg scale. Results : Maximum heart rate (HRmax) did not differ between the 20m-SRT and VS (194.4 ± 10.2 bpm vs. 193.2 ± 13.8 bpm, respectively). Both tests were similar for intensity > and < 96% HRmax. The children showed greater exertion on the Borg scale and motivation during the VS. The multiple logistic regression model showed that motivation (p=0.98), sex (p=0.53), age (p=0.61), nutritional status (p=0.65), and speed (p=0.18) were not predictive factors of the child’s reaching HRmax. Conclusion : VS can be used as a tool to evaluate the intensity of maximal exercise tests, given that the percentage of children who achieved HRmax did not differ between the VS and 20m SRT. The perceived exertion scales were correlated, but only the modified Borg scale correlated with HRmax in the 20m SRT. The tests are motivational, and most children obtained the maximum VS score.

Abstract
Introduction
Several methods have been suggested to measure anteversion of the cup component after total hip arthroplasty using simple anteroposterior (AP) radiographs. Herein, we compared six widely used anteversion measurement methods using two different AP radiographs (conventional pelvis AP vs. hip-centered AP) in order to identify the measurement method and radiograph that provide the highest accuracy and reliability.

Methods
We developed two custom-made bi-planar anteversion measurement models for the validation. Each model was designed for pelvis AP and hip-centered AP radiographs. The radiographs were acquired with both models’ inclination angle changing from 10° to 70° at 10° increments, and for each inclination angles, anteversion was changed from 0° to 30° at 5° increments. The measurements were obtained independently by two orthopedic surgeons blinded from each other using 6 methods: 1) Pradhan et al., 2) Lewinnek et al., 3) Widmer et al., 4) Liaw et al., 5) Hassan et al., and 6) Ackland et al. The measurements were repeated after 2 months. The accuracy, compared to the reference angle, and intra- and inter-observer reliabilities of each method were calculated.

Results
The highest accuracy was found when Liaw et al.’s method was used in hip-centered AP radiographs, which showed a difference of 1.37° ± 1.73 from the reference. Moreover, regardless of the type of the radiograph, the methods by Pradhan et al., Lewinnek et al., and Liaw et al. showed excellent correlations with the reference anteversion. However, substantial differences were found when the methods by Widmer et al., Hassan et al., and Ackland et al. were utilized, regardless of the type of radiograph used. When the anteversion was measured in the inclination between 30° and 50°, Pradhan et al.’s method in pelvis AP radiographs showed the highest accuracy (1.23° ± 0.92°). We also found no significant difference when the measured anteversions were compared between pelvis AP and hip-centered AP radiographs. Both inter- and intra-observer reliabilities were high for all measurements tested.

Conclusions
The methods by Pradhan et al., Liaw et al., and Lewinnek et al. may provide relatively accurate anteversion measurements with high reliability, regardless of the type of radiograph.

Abstract
Background:We aimed to investigate the relationship between the perioperative hemodynamic parameters and the occurrence of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury.
Methods:A retrospective study was performed in patients who underwent cardiac surgery at a tertiary referral teaching hospital. Acute kidney injury was determined according to the KDIGO criteria. We investigated the association between the perioperative hemodynamic parameters and cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injuryto identify the independent hemodynamic predictors for acute kidney injury.Subgroup analysis was further performed in patients with chronic hypertension.
Results:Among 300 patients, 29.3% developed acute kidney injury during postoperative intensive care unit period. Multivariate logistic analysis showed the postoperative nadir diastolic perfusion pressure, but not mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure and mean perfusion pressure, was independently linked to the development of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery (odds ratio 0.945, P= 0.045). Subgroup analyses in hypertensive subjects (n = 91)showed the postoperative nadir diastolic perfusion pressure and peak central venous pressure were both independently related to the development of acute kidney injury (nadir diastolic perfusion pressure, odds ratio 0.886, P= 0.033; peak central venous pressure, odds ratio 1.328, P= 0.010, respectively).
Conclusions:Postoperative nadir diastolic perfusion pressure was independently associated with the development of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. Furthermore, central venous pressure should be considered as a potential hemodynamic target for hypertensive patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Background: The AP2/ERF superfamily consists of primary transcription factors in plants that play a critical role in numerous aspects of various physiological stages and responses to stress stimuli. Nevertheless, there is little information related to AP2/ERF in strawberry, an important perennial fruit and model plant for horticulture. Results: In this study, 117 AP2/ERF genes were identified in strawberry and were grouped into four types of genes, AP2 (17), ERF (94), RAV (5) as well as soloist (1), according to the gene structure, phylogenetic tree and conserved domains. The duplication events and synteny analysis combination of genes offered a good opportunity to understand the evolutionary process of the FvAP2/ERF family. Moreover, identified orthologous genes and expression profiles of genes across various tissue, developmental stages and different treatments predicted potential functions of some AP2/ERF genes in strawberry. Conclusions: In this study, 117 genes were identified in the AP2/ERF family of strawberry, and their structure, chromosomes location, evolutionary relationship, promoter sequence and expression profile were investigated. Our findings provide valuable clues to gain better insights into each FvAP2/ERF gene under different types of biological developments and in response to stressors.

Abstract
Background:Stroke is a serious cardiovascular disease and a major cause of disability and death in both developed and developing countries. Superoxide dismutases (SODs ) are enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide and play a key role in the antioxidant response. This study explored the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SOD genes and the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in the Chinese Han population of Dali city.Methods: For this case-control study, we enrolled 144 IS patients and 128 healthy controls. The SNPs rs17880487 and rs80265967 of the SOD1 gene, rs4880 and rs284296 of the SOD2 gene, rs2695232 and rs7655372 of the SOD3 gene were detected via Taqman-polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Genotypes and allele frequencies of the two groups were compared. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression, and environmental factors were corrected with multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results: Rs7655372 of SOD3 was associated with a significantly increased risk of IS. Moreover, this the G and GA genotypes of SNP rs7655372 were associated with an increased risk of IS, whereas the A and GA genotypes were risk factors for IS. Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that fasting blood glucose level, red blood cell count, white blood cell count, low-density lipoprotein level, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and rs7655372 GA/GG were independent risk factors for IS.Conclusions: The SOD3 gene rs7655372 locus polymorphism is a risk factor for IS, and its frequency in the Chinese Han population of Dali City denotes that this population is at increased risk of IS.

Abstract
Background Vancomycin resistance enterococci are enterococci that cannot be cured with vancomycin treatment. To combat this resistance, an integrated disciplinary action is mandatory. Therefore, this study aimed to show the prevalence of these agents with the concept of one health approach.Methods Literature search was conducted on PubMed, Google scholar and Hinari with the term “Vancomycin resistance enterococcus in Africa” in august 1-3, 2019. All available articles exported to “Endnote version 7.1” then to Microsoft word. All the articles checked to meet our criteria for the review. Those articles reported the prevalence of vancomycin resistance Enterococcus and published from 2010 to present in the English language was included for the review. There were 151 articles from the databases; of this, 37 articles included after extensive review with two independent authors.Result Out of 4112 samples collected, 1527 isolates identified with overall magnitude of VRE as 28.8% (12.9%-44.7%) in Africa with a one-health perspective. The meta-analysis indicates that there was substantial heterogeneity among the articles with consistency index (I 2 ) =99.9%. A higher rate of Vancomycin resistance enterococci was identified from South Africa 74.8%, followed by Egypt 37. 2%. Laboratory method employed for identification showed that a higher rate was from BacTec 98.8%, followed by PCR 59.2%. It is also a non-human sample source was with higher rates of VRE i.e. 32.5%.Conclusion This meta-analysis indicates there was a high rate of Vancomycin resistance enterococcus in African continent. A lot should be done to prevent and control the transmition of this resistance gene circulating in the environment.

Abstract
Background The Flexible Nichidai Knee Posterior Stabilized (FNK-PS) system was designed to provide relatively high varus-valgus stabilities without the stem extensions to patients with severe knee joint disorders. This is a combination of a large tibial post and high femoral cam adapted to a PS system. The aim of our study was to analyze the in vivo two-dimensional/three-dimensional registration kinematics of the FNK PS-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) system during deep knee bending.Methods Nineteen knees from 15 total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients who were able to squat with enough knee flexion were selected. During deep knee bending under weight bearing (WB) and non-weight bearing (NWB) conditions, we quantified range of motion, axial rotation, femoral anteroposterior translation, and post-cam engagement angle.Results The maximum-flexion was significantly different between the two conditions. The mean axial femoral external rotation was 4.8° and 6.2° under WB and NWB conditions, respectively, at 120° flexion. Anteroposterior translation based on bicondylar posterior roll-back patterns was noted with increasing knee flexion. Both the medial and lateral femoral aspects were significantly more posterior during early to mid-flexion. Initial post-cam engagement occurred significantly earlier during flexion under NWB than under WB conditions. Under WB, the timing of the post-cam engagement correlated with the maximum flexion.Conclusions The kinematics of the semi-constrained PS system reproducibly exhibited a mild external rotation with smooth posterior roll-back, comparable to that of standard PS-TKAs. This was assisted by the engagement of the large tibial post and high femoral cam during the early phase of flexion.

Abstract
Purpose Psychological resilience appears to be an important influencing factor in various aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a context of adversity, e.g., being informed of a cancer diagnosis. The purpose was to investigate psychological resilience and health-related quality of life in Swedish women with newly diagnosed breast cancer in relation to demographic and clinicopathological characteristics.Methods A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted including 517 women with breast cancer in the South Swedish Health Care Region. Participants were enrolled at the time of consultation for the diagnosis. Psychological resilience was assessed with the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 25 (CD-RISC25), and HRQoL was assessed with the Short Form Health Survey. The participants responded to questions regarding demographic variables. Clinicopathological data were collected from the Swedish National Quality Register for Breast Cancer.Results The mean score for psychological resilience was 70.6, identifying 15% of included patients with a score lower than 58 (-1 standard deviation). The study cohort had significantly lower mean scores for several aspects of HRQoL compared with Swedish normative data. Multiple regression analyses demonstrated that psychological resilience was significantly associated with all domains of HRQoL after adjustment for demographic and clinicopathological factors.Conclusions Higher levels of psychological resilience were significantly related to higher levels of HRQoL in Swedish women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and no modifying factor was identified. The assessment of psychological resilience at the time of breast cancer diagnosis might allow for early identification of women in need of more intense psychosocial support. Future studies are needed to identify a clinically relevant threshold of the CD-RISC25.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to assess the level of attitude, practices, and its associated factors towards complications of diabetes mellitus among type 2 diabetes patients.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among Type 2 diabetes patients visiting the diabetes clinic at Adiss Zemen District Hospital in Northwest Ethiopia. Interviewer administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 402 patients. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with attitudes and practices towards diabetes complications. AOR with 95% CI and p-value less than 0.05 was considered to identify significant associated factors.Results Two third of the study participants 65.5% (95% CI: 60.2, 69.4) had a good attitude level while less than half of study participants 48.8% (95% CI: 44.0, 53.5) had a good practice on diabetes complications. Educational status of: read and write (AOR=2.32, 95% CI=1.26 4.27), primary school (AOR= 4.31, 95% CI= 2.06, 9.02), high school and above (AOR=2.79, 95% CI=1.41, 5.50), and urban residence (AOR=1.80, 95% CI=1.12 2.91) were significant factors for good attitude while educational status of: read and write (AOR=1.96, 95% CI=1.06, 3.61), high school and above (AOR=2.57, 95% CI=1.32, 5.02) were associated with diabetes complication practices.Conclusions Greater proportion of diabetes patients had relatively good attitude but poor practice towards diabetes complication preventions. Residence was significant contributing factor for good attitude whereas educational status was significantly associated with both attitude and practice. The current study suggests the need of structured educational programs about diabetes complications on a regular basis to improve patient’s attitude and practice.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to experimentally evaluate the difference in the transport of uniform (5.17, 10.35, 14, 20.7 mm) and graded sediment (mixture of these rounded particles with equal weight proportions) under different unsteady flow hydrographs in a 12 m long, 0.5 m wide and deep glass-walled flume. There was a lag time between fractions and uniform particles, such that peaks of coarser and finer fraction particles occurred before and after the peak of uniform sediment with the same size, respectively. Comparison between uniform particles and fractions in graded sediment showed that the sediment transport rate of fine and coarse fractions was lower and higher than their counterpart uniform particles, respectively. Overall, the uniform particles demonstrated a clockwise hysteresis loop and graded sediment had a counterclockwise hysteresis loop. The mobility of coarser fractions increased during the rising limb of hydrograph, whereas the mobility of finer fractions increased during the falling limb. In general, the mobility of coarse fractions increased and that of fine fractions reduced. Result of transported sediment showed that average particle size collected in traps (Db50) was coarser than bed material (Ds50) on both limbs. The relative transport ratio for uniform and graded sediment is higher and lower than 1, respectively.

Abstract
The Rohingya people are now living in overcrowded refugee camps and makeshift settlements with low standards of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). This study was conducted to examine WASH practices and associated risk factors among the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. The present study comprised 350 participants with data collected via a semi-structured questionnaire. Most respondents (84%) did not have good knowledge concerning WASH. Furthermore, 50.3% had unsafe WASH practices, 38.6% had fair WASH practices, and 11.1% had safe WASH practices. WASH practices were significantly associated with age, education, marital status, and WASH knowledge. The implementation of an effective WASH awareness program is required along with improved water supply and sanitation to improve WASH practices among Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.
