Published: August 2019

Physical activity in addition to dealing with heart rate, will cause an increase in blood pressure (Sulastri et al., 2012). Exercise or physical activity carried out regularly and regularly can turn a stressor into a stimulator. But if physical activity is done irregularly, the stressor will inhibit the homeostatic process in the body. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the frequency of playing badminton and blood pressure in PB UNMUH Ponorogo members. The research will be conducted on PB UNMUH Ponorogo members, a representative sample of 33 respondents taken by Purposive Sampling. Quantitative design with Cross sectional design that studies the frequency of playing badminton and blood pressure. The instrument in this study used a questionnaire and observation sheet. Univariate analysis uses frequency distribution. Gamma Test to find out the relationship between the frequency of playing badminton and blood pressure. The results of the study showed that the majority of PB UNMUH Ponorogo's members of badminton played mostly (48.5%) or 16 people twice a week. Blood pressure of 39.4% or 13 respondents was normal. There is a relationship between the frequency of playing badminton with the incidence of hypertension in members of PB UNMUH Ponorogo with P = 0.020 (= 0.05). The closeness of the value (Value) is -0.452. It is expected that PB UNMUH Ponorogo members can do badminton training regularly and the intensity is adjusted to their respective abilities in order to achieve optimal fitness and avoid hypertension or other heart disease. Keywords: frequency of playing badminton, blood pressure.
The effects of active and passive neck flexion on unilateral straight-leg-raising
Authors: Smith Craig 
Published: August 2019

A study was designed to test the effects of passive neck flexion (PNF) as compared with active neck flexion (ANF) on the straight-leg-raise (SLR) test.Twenty two subjects were measured three times with a goniometer and the difference in range of movement (ROM) was determined by subtracting the SLR recordings obtained by means of PNF from those of ANF.Results demonstrated that neck flexion (NF) performed actively allowed a mean value of 4,13° more SLR than when performed passively. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Importance: Sensory symptoms in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are commonly reported by researchers. However, an often overlooked sensory aspect of ASD is sensory discrimination in general, and somatosensory discrimination in particular.
Objective: To examine what has and what has not yet been learned concerning the somatosensory discrimination abilities of people with ASD and to reveal gaps warranting further research.
Design: Scoping review of clinical studies published 1995–2017 located through searches of PsycNET, PubMed, ERIC, and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria were English-language peer-reviewed studies with (1) participants diagnosed with ASD, (2) a specific somatosensory discrimination measure, and (3) a comparison group. No age or intellectual exclusion criteria were established; studies were excluded if they were theoretical or descriptive, did not incorporate a control group, focused only on neurology or genetics, or used simple threshold detection measures or somatosensory measures integrated with other measures. The final search yielded 12 comparative articles discussing tactile and proprioceptive discrimination in people with ASD.
Results: Overall, most results showed atypical somatosensory discrimination in people with ASD, especially among young children. The relationship between sensory discrimination abilities and other sensory symptoms and ASD symptoms is briefly discussed.
Conclusions and Relevance: Heterogeneous findings concerning somatosensory discrimination in people with ASD shed light on underlying mechanisms of these disorders and can contribute to improvement of occupational therapy intervention for this population.
What This Article Adds: The occupational therapy evaluation of people with ASD can benefit from addressing somatosensory discrimination and its contribution to other clinical symptoms. This type of assessment can help improve intervention strategies for people with ASD by promoting a focus on the effect of discrimination deficits on daily function.

A considerable progress in plant breeding for higher yield is attained mainly through selection of morpho-physiological attributes in rice. The field experiments were conducted at three different locations under sub-tropical conditions with four early maturing rice varieties viz., Binadhan-7, Binadhan-17, BRRI dhan33, and BRRI dhan39 during kharif-2 rice season (Aman; July-October) of 2016 to find out the natural variation in the morpho-physiological attributes contributing to higher grain yield in rice. Morphological parameters on plant height, root structure, tillering ontogeny, internode elongation pattern, flag leaf length, flag leaf width, flag leaf angle, number of primary & secondary rachis, branches and also physiological traits on chlorophyll content, photosynthesis rate, total dry mass, growth rate, number of vascular bundles, harvest index with yield and yield contributing characters were studied. Results indicated that plants having rapid growth and development at early growth stages showed higher chlorophyll content, photosynthesis rate, long flag leaf, number of vascular bundles in 1st internode and also exhibited the increase in the number of grains per panicle resulting higher grain yield. Among the test varieties, Binadhan-17 showed superiority in the most morpho-physiological criteria and higher number of vascular bundles manifesting in higher grain yield. This information may help breeders to identity and develop high yielding rice variety.

This work aims to evaluate the thermophysical characteristics of local ornamental stones in order to facilitate their choice as efficient flooring materials.
Methodology: Three varieties of the most known and requested ornamental stones on the market which include granite, marble and basalt extracted from the Beninese ground and subjected to asymmetric hot plane method to determine their thermal effusivity, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity. The parallelepiped-shaped samples of 10 cm × 10 cm × 3 cm were performed for measurements.
The followings are the results of the different rocks studied: granite (3.220.01 W.m⎻1.K⎻1, 2470.510.006 J.m⎻1.K⎻1.s⎻1/2, 1.700.01μm².s⎻1, 1892.886.86 KJ.K⎻1.m⎻3); marble (4.940.02 W.m⎻1.K⎻1, 3416.340.009 J.m⎻1.K⎻1.s⎻1/2, 2.090.01 μm².s⎻1, 2362.737.90 KJ.K⎻1.m⎻3) and basalt (3.850.008 W.m⎻1.K⎻1, 2744.220.004 J.m⎻1.K⎻1.s⎻1/2, 1.9670.008 μm².s⎻1, 1956.494.07 KJ.K⎻1.m⎻3).
Therefore granite is more insulating and marble has better ability to store heat.
Phylogenetic Biodiversity of Bacteria Community in the Gut of Diarrhoeic Patients in Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: Agi V. N. , Azike C. A. 
Published: August 2019

Background: The microbial ecosystem in the human intestine is complex and it plays a great role in health and nutrition. Cultural techniques have been used over the years to study the gut microbiota but studies suggest that a greater percentage of these bacteria found in the gut cannot be cultivated using the conventional methods of bacteria isolation.
Aim: To increase understanding in this area, we characterized the bacterial diversity (both cultivated and non-cultivated bacteria) in the gut of diarrhoeic individuals using 16S rRNA gene (rDNA) sequences.
Methodology: PCR amplification, sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences were done on 10 diarrhoeic stool samples.
Results: After quality filtering and chimeric sequence removal, 72313 sequences from all 10 diarrhoeic stool samples subjected to clustering generated 2767 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) of which 2073 were new and unassigned.
Representative sequences of the bacteria OTUs cluster were used to construct a bacteria phylogenetic tree which revealed a wide variety of bacteria Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Tenericutes and Cyanobacteria and others that could not be detected using the cultural techniques. The evolutionary relationship of the most abundant organisms and their contributions from each sample revealed the phylum Firmicutes to be most abundant and therefore have contributed most in the samples followed by Bacteroidetes. Fewer contributions were made by the other phyla Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Tenericutes and Cyanobacteria.
Conclusion: This study was able to identify culturable and unculturable bacteria in the gut of diarrhoeic people in Rivers state and also show the biodiversity and interrelatedness of these microorganisms using molecular methods. Therefore, we can say that 16S rRNA techniques for detection and identification of predominant bacteria create new opportunities for non-cultivation studies of the human intestinal microflora, proper diagnosis of infectious diseases and new methods of treatments of diseases.

Published: August 2019

Background: Cervical cancer is becoming one of the emerging health burdens for womenhood and India accounts for one-third of the cervical cancer deaths globally. More than 80% of women with cervical cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage. In this study, we aimed to assess the Quality of Life (QOL) of patients with cervical cancer after treatment and to examine the factors affecting their QOL.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective observational study, included 218 cervical cancer patients. The study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Warangal of Telangana State. The impact of socioeconomic factors and clinical factors on the QOL of the patients were studied using Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-Performance status (ECOG-PS) scale. The protocol was approved by KIEC-KMC, Warangal. The statistical analysis was performed by using Fischer's Exact test, a value of p<.05 was considered as significant.
Results: Out of 218 patients 189 were alive and 29 were deceased. Patient of age group 21-40 years, patients from urban areas, from upper socioeconomic status (SES), patients with literacy, without any social habits had good QOL, where as patients in labour forces had poor QOL and are statistically significant. Patients with early stage at diagnosis and patients underwent surgical treatment along with chemoradiation therapy had good QOL yet, these results are statistically insignificant.
Conclusion: The lack of access to preventive and definitive care by the health care sectors, poor socioeconomic status, educational status of the women and awareness regarding the disease and its treatment patterns resulted in poor follow up, low adherence to the treatment, which accentuated the cervical cancer burden. Hence, enhancing the above listed factors could be beneficial in improving QOL of cervical cancer patients.

Published: August 2019

ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to identify early predictors of future reduced grip force in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to identify early predictors of grip force over time.MethodsIn a structured follow‐up of an inception cohort of patients with early RA, average grip force values of the dominant hand were evaluated and compared with the expected based on age‐ and sex‐specific reference values. Potential predictors of reduced grip force (less than 50% of expected) at 5 years were examined using logistic regression. Differences in percentage of expected grip force values over the study period and differences in change over time, by baseline disease parameters, were estimated using mixed linear‐effects models.ResultsAmong 200 patients with early RA, 44% had reduced grip force 5 years after diagnosis. Baseline characteristics that predicted reduced grip force at 5 years included high scores for the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (odds ratio 1.54 per SD; 95% confidence interval 1.13‐2.11), high scores for pain and patient global assessment, and low grip force. C‐reactive protein levels, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the 28‐joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28), rheumatoid factor, anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, joint counts, and synovitis of individual joints in the dominant upper extremity did not predict reduced grip force. Patients with baseline synovitis of the wrist or metacarpophalangeal joints or patients with a high DAS28 had lower estimated grip force at inclusion but also greater improvement of grip force over time.ConclusionPatient‐reported outcomes predicted reduced grip strength 5 years after diagnosis. This underlines the prognostic importance of disability in early RA. Joint counts and synovitis in individual joints may change rapidly in early RA and appear to be less predictive of long‐term hand function.

ObjectiveType I interferon (IFN) is important to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis, but it is not clear how chronic elevations in IFN alter immune function. We compared cytokine responses after whole blood stimulation with Toll‐like receptor (TLR) agonists in high‐ and low‐IFN SLE patient subgroups.MethodsSLE patients and nonautoimmune controls were recruited, and SLE patients were categorized as either high or low IFN. Whole blood was dispensed into tubes coated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), oligonucleotides with cytosine‐guanine repeats, Resiquimod, IFN‐α, and IFN‐α + LPS. Cytokine production in patient sera and after whole blood TLR stimulation was measured by multiplex assay, and type I IFN was assessed using a functional assay.ResultsCirculating plasmacytoid dendritic cell numbers were specifically reduced in high‐IFN SLE patients and not in low‐IFN SLE patients. In serum, we observed that the correlations between cytokines in serum differed to a much greater degree between the high‐ and low‐IFN groups (P < 0.0001) than the absolute cytokine levels differed between these same groups. In stimulated conditions, the high‐IFN patients had less cytokine production in response to TLR ligation than the low‐IFN SLE patients. LPS produced the most diverse response, and a number of interactions between type I IFN and LPS were observed.ConclusionWe find striking differences in resting and stimulated cytokine patterns in high‐ vs. low‐IFN SLE patients, which supports the biological importance of these patient subsets. These data could inform personalized treatment approaches and the pathogenesis of SLE flare following infection.
Additive Manufacturing of Precision Biomaterials
Authors: Guzzi Elia A. , Tibbitt Mark W. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractBiomaterials play a critical role in modern medicine as surgical guides, implants for tissue repair, and as drug delivery systems. The emerging paradigm of precision medicine exploits individual patient information to tailor clinical therapy. While the main focus of precision medicine to date is the design of improved pharmaceutical treatments based on “‐omics” data, the concept extends to all forms of customized medical care. This includes the design of precision biomaterials that are tailored to meet specific patient needs. Additive manufacturing (AM) enables free‐form manufacturing and mass customization, and is a critical enabling technology for the clinical implementation of precision biomaterials. Materials scientists and engineers can contribute to the realization of precision biomaterials by developing new AM technologies, synthesizing advanced (bio)materials for AM, and improving medical‐image‐based digital design. As the field matures, AM is poised to provide patient‐specific tissue and organ substitutes, reproducible microtissues for drug screening and disease modeling, personalized drug delivery systems, as well as customized medical devices.

Published: August 2019

AbstractLithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have arousing interest because of their high theoretical energy density. However, they often suffer from sluggish conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPS) during the charge/discharge process. Single nickel (Ni) atoms on nitrogen‐doped graphene (Ni@NG) with Ni–N4 structure are prepared and introduced to modify the separators of Li–S batteries. The oxidized Ni sites of the Ni–N4 structure act as polysulfide traps, efficiently accommodating polysulfide ion electrons by forming strong Sx
2−⋅⋅⋅NiN bonding. Additionally, charge transfer between the LiPS and oxidized Ni sites endows the LiPS on Ni@NG with low free energy and decomposition energy barrier in an electrochemical process, accelerating the kinetic conversion of LiPS during the charge/discharge process. Furthermore, the large binding energy of LiPS on Ni@NG also shows its ability to immobilize the LiPS and further suppresses the undesirable shuttle effect. Therefore, a Li–S battery based on a Ni@NG modified separator exhibits excellent rate performance and stable cycling life with only 0.06% capacity decay per cycle. It affords fresh insights for developing single‐atom catalysts to accelerate the kinetic conversion of LiPS for highly stable Li–S batteries.

Published: August 2019

AbstractLocal magnetic imaging at nanoscale resolution is desirable for basic studies of magnetic materials and for magnetic logic and memories. However, such local imaging is hard to achieve by means of standard magnetic force microscopy. Other techniques require low temperatures, high vacuum, or strict limitations on the sample conditions. A simple and robust method is presented for locally resolved magnetic imaging based on short‐range spin‐exchange interactions that can be scaled down to atomic resolution. The presented method requires a conventional AFM tip functionalized with a chiral molecule. In proximity to the measured magnetic sample, charge redistribution in the chiral molecule leads to a transient spin state, caused by the chiral‐induced spin‐selectivity effect, followed by the exchange interaction with the imaged sample. While magnetic force microscopy imaging strongly depends on a large working distance, an accurate image is achieved using the molecular tip in proximity to the sample. The chiral molecules' spin‐exchange interaction is found to be 150 meV. Using the tip with the adsorbed chiral molecules, two oppositely magnetized samples are characterized, and a magnetic imaging is performed. This method is simple to perform at room temperature and does not require high‐vacuum conditions.
