Prevalence of Oral Manifestations of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Patients Admitted to Sulaymaniyah teaching hospital – Iraq
Authors: Hamasur Kashan S 
Published: December 2020

The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between IBD and oral symptom and mucosal lesions in patients with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that has been done in (Kurdistan center for Gastroenterology and hepatology) of Teaching Hospital in Sulaymaniyah-Iraq, which included 101 patients previously diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease who were interviewed regarding manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease especially oral manifestations. Required data were collected through a specially designed questionnaire,
Results: The patients’ mean age was 45.74±12.58 years. Patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease were not significantly different in terms of age, sex, smoking, and drinking alcohol (p>0.05), and it was seen that age groups 41-50 and 51-60, males, smokers, and drinkers were more affected by these two diseases. They were not significantly different in terms of chief complaint, drug history, oral hygiene, and disease duration (p>0.05). Most of the patients (78 out of 101) had fair or poor oral hygiene. The two groups of the patients were not significantly different in terms of oral manifestations and symptoms (p>0.05). The most common oral manifestations were found to be respectively angular cheilitis, aphthous ulcer, and diffuse lip swelling in both diseases. The most common symptoms were respectively dry mouth and halitosis.
Conclusion: This study revealed that dentists and oral and maxillofacial Medicine could involve in a diagnosis of IBD, by at least in the referral process, because patients in clinical setting may give a history of orofacial complaints giving a hint on possible systemic background of IBD
Antenatal, Intrapartum, and Postnatal Maternal health Care during COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Alkhazrajy Lujain Anwar 
Published: December 2020

There is limited data and evidence about the effects of COVID-19 on Maternal health, especially when new information is emerging daily, through pregnancy, child birth and post natal period, women are vulnerable to have the infection, this article, aimed to show the suitable measures that should be applied for women at reproductive age who are suspected /confirmed with COVID -19 infection,
During pregnancy it is advisable to continue the antenatal care schedule, although reducing face to face visit is recommended (unless the pregnant condition required that ),and prioritize ANC at health facilities for high-risk pregnancy and during second half of pregnancy with adequate infection prevention control measures.
Regarding child birth, positive COVID-19 result without other indications is not an indication to expedite birth, decision for mode of birth not influenced by positive COVID-19 result, it is recommended to support normal labour and if elective caesarean has been planned, epidural anesthesia is highly recommended than general anesthesia. For women with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, Betamimetics: should be avoided as they may exacerbate maternal hypotension, tachycardia and pulmonary edema.
Maternal mental wellbeing should be screened in postnatal period because infected women with COVID -19 are more prone to develop an anxiety than general population because of the demands of the disease like isolation, bereavement, financial difficulties, insecurity and inability to access support systems which are considered as added risk factors to develop mental illnesses

Authors: Macalindong Shiela S. , Dela Peña Arturo S. , Buckley Brian 
Published: December 2020

Objective. To describe the clinicopathologic profile, management, and outcomes of patients with esophagogastric junction (EGJ) adenocarcinoma in the local setting.
Methods. Data was obtained from patients who had curative surgery for EGJ adenocarcinoma from 2004–2013 in the Philippine General Hospital. We used student's T-tests, analysis of variance, chi-squared and Fisher’s exact tests for comparisons and Cohen’s kappa index for correlation. A P value of less than or equal to 0.05 was considered significant.
Results. We included 88 patients (81.2% male) with mean age of 55.2 years. Eight percent were clinical Siewert type I; 23.9% were type II; 15.9% were type III; and majority (52.3%) were unknown type. Surgical approach and resection differed across the Siewert types (P<0.000). Thoracoabdominal approach (72.7%) and distal esophagectomy with total gastrectomy (77.3%) were the most common procedures. Many had at least pathologic T3 (80.6%), N2 (54.5%), and stage III (68.2%) disease. Neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy was given in 1.2% (1/82) and 48.6% (18/37), respectively. In-hospital morbidity was 40%; mortality was 4.5%; 1-year disease-free survival rate was 69.4%; and overall survival rate was 76.5%. Correlation was fair between preoperative and pathologic Siewert type (P=0.003) and poor between clinical and pathologic stage (P=0.115). Patients with recurrence had higher pathologic lymph nodes (P=0.029) and more advanced stage (P=0.022).
Conclusion. EGJ adenocarcinomas were locally advanced and had poor outcomes. Surgery should be individualized and multimodality approach considered.
Usability and Reliability of an Accessible Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) Software: The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory–Patient-Reported Outcome (PEDI–PRO)
Authors: Kramer Jessica M. , Schwartz Ariel E. , Davies Daniel K. , Stock Steven E. , Ni Pengsheng 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Importance: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are used in rehabilitation to evaluate outcomes. We integrated a new PROM for transition-age youth with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD), the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory–Patient-Reported Outcome (PEDI–PRO), with a computer-delivered survey platform (Accessible Testing Learning and Assessment System) to enhance cognitive accessibility.
Objective: To evaluate the usability of the PEDI–PRO software and to investigate its reliability and acceptability to transition-age youth with IDD.
Design: Clinical field testing and a survey; repeated-observation test–retest design.
Setting: Clinicians evaluated the PEDI–PRO’s usability in school and health care contexts; research staff conducted reliability and acceptability testing in natural settings.
Participants: Occupational therapists (n = 12) and physical therapists (n = 2) administered the PEDI–PRO to 39 youths with IDD. Fifty-five transition-age youth with IDD (M age = 19.7) completed the PEDI–PRO twice.
Outcomes and Measures: Clinicians completed the System Usability Survey (SUS) and open-ended feedback. Youth provided feedback via a brief survey.
Results: The mean SUS rating was 84.00 (SD = 11.68), exceeding the industry standard. Intraclass correlations ranged from .80 to .83 across the three PEDI–PRO domains. Internal reliability (α) was .86–.90 across domains. Youth reported that they liked the accessibility features: interface images, button sounds, read-aloud audio, and rating category choices (M = 88.8%, SD = 5.1%).
Conclusions and Relevance: The PEDI–PRO supported transition-age youth with IDD to reliably report perceived functional performance. The accessible software was favorably perceived by both clinicians and youth.
What This Article Adds: Design features of the PEDI–PRO make it easy to use in practice with transition-age youth with IDD. The PEDI–PRO’s cognitively accessible administrative design, including step-by-step instructions for teaching PROM use and a self-reflective questioning technique, could serve as a training model for this and other PROMs.

Authors: Babik Iryna , Cunha Andrea Baraldi , Lobo Michele A. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractImportance: Children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita are often delayed in their development of reaching and object exploration, which can place them at risk for associated delays in motor and cognitive development.Objective: To evaluate the longitudinal assistive and rehabilitative effects of the Playskin Lift™ (hereinafter Playskin), a novel exoskeletal garment, on reaching and object exploration abilities in children with arthrogryposis.Design: Single-case ABA design with a 1-mo baseline, 4-mo intervention, and 1-mo postintervention.Setting: Home environment.Participants: Seventeen children with arthrogryposis (ages 6–35 mo at first visit; 5 boys).Intervention: Participants used the Playskin daily for 30 to 45 min while participating in structured intervention activities to encourage reaching for objects across play spaces larger than they were typically able to.Outcomes and Measures: Participants were tested biweekly throughout the study with and without the Playskin using a systematic reaching assessment. Coding of reaching and object exploration behavior was performed using OpenSHAPA software; statistical analyses were conducted using Hierarchical Linear and Nonlinear Modeling software. Feasibility of the Playskin for daily home intervention was evaluated with a parent perception questionnaire.Results: Positive assistive effects (improved performance when wearing the Playskin within sessions) and rehabilitative effects (improved independent performance after the Playskin intervention) were observed with increased active range of motion, expanded reaching space, improved grasping with the ventral side of the open hand, and greater complexity and multimodality and intensity of object exploration.Conclusions and Relevance: The Playskin may be a feasible, effective assistive and rehabilitative device to advance object interaction and learning in young children with arthrogryposis.What This Article Adds: The novel exoskeletal Playskin garment improves reaching and object exploration in young children with arthrogryposis.
Development of the CAT–FER: A Computerized Adaptive Test of Facial Emotion Recognition for Adults With Schizophrenia
Authors: Lee Shih-Chieh , Lin Gong-Hong , Liu Chen-Chung , Chiu En-Chi , Hsieh Ching-Lin 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Importance: The most frequently used measures of facial emotion recognition (FER) are insufficiently comprehensive, reliable, valid, and efficient; moreover, the impact of gender on scoring has not been controlled.
Objective: To develop a computerized adaptive test of FER for adults with schizophrenia.
Design: First, we selected photographs from a published database. Second, items that fitted well to a Rasch model were used to form the item bank. Third and last, we determined the best administration mode for prospective users to achieve both high reliability and efficiency.
Setting: Psychiatric hospitals and the community.
Participants: Adults living with schizophrenia (n = 351) and adults without diagnosed mental illness (n = 101).
Results: After removal of misfit items (infit or outfit ≥1.4), the remaining 165 items were selected to form an item bank. Among them, 39 showed severe gender bias, so the item difficulties were adjusted accordingly. On the basis of the item bank, two administration modes were recommended for prospective users. The reliable mode required approximately 128 items (nearly 20 min) to achieve reliability (.72–.81), similar to that of the entire item bank. The efficient mode required approximately 73 items (approximate 11 min) to provide acceptable reliability (.69–.73) for the seven domain scores.
Conclusions and Relevance: Our newly developed measure provides comprehensive, valid, and unbiased (to examinees’ gender) assessments of FER in adults living with schizophrenia. In addition, the administration modes can be flexibly changed to optimize the reliability or efficiency for prospective users.
What This Article Adds: This newly developed FER measure can help occupational therapists identify deficits in recognizing specific basic emotions and plan corresponding interventions to manage the impact on their clients’ social functions.
Future Cities
Authors: Dunn Nick , Cureton Paul 
Published: December 2020

What might our cities look like in ten, twenty or fifty years? How may future cities face global challenges? Imagining the city of the future has long been an inspiration for many architects, artists and designers. This book examines how cities of the future have been visualised, what these projects sought to communicate and what the implications may be for us now. It provides a visual history of the future and explores the relationships between different visualisation techniques and ideologies for cities.
Thinking about what futures are, who they are for, why they are desirable, and how and when they are to be brought into being is central to this book. Through visualisation we are able to experiment in ways that would be impractical and potentially hazardous in the real world, and this book, therefore, aims to contribute toward a better understanding of the power and agency of visualisations for future cities.
In this lavishly illustrated text, the authors apply several critical lenses to consider the subject in different ways: technological futures, social futures, and global futures, providing a comprehensive survey and analysis of visions for future cities, and engaging creatively with how we perceive tomorrow’s world and future studies more widely.
Picturing Socialism
Authors: Jenkins J. R. 
Published: December 2020

This vibrant history of the former German Democratic Republic’s public murals reveals a barely known but visually and theoretically rich cultural legacy.
In the early 1990s, many artworks were dismantled or concealed in a direct political rejection of their socialist signification. Many others, falling into the categories of applied arts, were simply torn out because they were not comprehended to be art. Picturing Socialism traces the formal, functional and theoretical changes of the visual arts in urban space throughout this time, and shows how art, craft, design and architecture made up the terrain of a sustained struggle between practitioners and political leaders.
This struggle was not the oft-assumed conflict between artistic freedom and political dogma. At stake was the self-identity of the socialist republic, and striking public murals functioned as the testing ground for East Germany’s ideological formation and development. The visual arts in architectural spaces were not simply viewed as pedagogical tools, but were charged with defining fundamental differences between the East German state and its affluent capitalist neighbour, the Federal Republic.
Picturing Socialism provides an original, richly illustrated exploration into the function of socialist art, architecture and the impressive murals in East Germany’s public spaces.

Published: December 2020

Introduction and Aim: Cricket is one of the most popular game in India played by men and women of all ages. Core stability is defined as the ability to control the position and movement of the trunk over the pelvis to allow optimum production, transfer and control of force and movement to the terminal segment. Major muscles involved are pelvic floor muscles, Transverse abdominis, multifidus, internal and external obliques, and rectus abdominis. Core is used to stabilize the thorax and the pelvis during dynamic movement. The study helps to compare the effectiveness of Swiss ball exercise and Pilates exercise on gaining core muscle strength. The aim of the study is to compare the effect of Swiss ball exercise and Pilates exercise on core muscle strengthening in college cricketers.
Materials and Methods: The design of the study is comparative type. The study was carried out in faculty of Physiotherapy, Dr.M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute. The study sample of 30 male college cricketers between the age group of 18 to 25 years are included in the study. Individuals with associated neuromuscular conditions, any injuries to lower limbs and any spinal injuries have been excluded in the study. Swiss ball and Pilates mat are the materials used. Sphygmomanometer is the outcome measure.30 male individuals between the age group of 18 to 25 years were divided into two groups, group A and group B. Individuals in the group A (n=15) received the Swiss ball exercise and group B (n=15) received Pilates exercise for 4 session/ week for 6 weeks.
Results: On comparing the mean values of group A and group B on double leg lowering test (DLLT), it shows significant decrease in the post test mean values but (group B- Pilates exercise) shows (30.60) which has the lower mean value is more effective than (group A- Swiss ball exercise) (46.80) at P ? 0.001. Hence, null hypothesis is rejected.
Conclusion: The study concluded that both the group was effective but while comparing Pilates exercise showed the potential treatment option than swiss ball exercise. Hence, Pilates exercise was effective on core muscle strengthening in college cricketers.
