Authors: Breitbach Anthony P. , Eliot Kathrin , Cuppett Micki , Wilson Mardell , Chushak Maria 
Published: April 2018

Context:
Interprofessional education (IPE), an emerging theme in health professional education programs, intends to prepare students for collaborative practice in order to improve patient outcomes. In 2012, the profession of athletic training strategically began to increase program participation in IPE.

Objective:
This article compares 2 studies that examined the presence of IPE in athletic training.

Design:
Cross-sectional design utilizing similar surveys regarding athletic training program participation in, and readiness for, IPE initiatives were administered via Qualtrics in 2012 and 2015.

Patients and Other Participants:
Program directors of Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education–accredited athletic training programs were surveyed in 2012 and 2015 using the “Interprofessional Education Assessment and Planning Instrument for Academic Institutions” in addition to program demographic information and IPE participation.

Data Collection and Analysis:
The participants involved included 160 of 367 surveyed (43.6%) in 2012 and 162 of 380 surveyed (42.6%) in 2015.

Results:
Data were analyzed, and χ2 analysis revealed a significant relationship between level of accreditation and academic unit housing the program in both studies. Significant change was also shown in program participation in IPE from 2012 to 2015. However, institutional readiness and infrastructure for IPE was low in nearly all categories.

Conclusions:
Interprofessional education has a greater presence in Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education professional programs that reside in health science–related academic units and are accredited at the master's level. However, less than 50% of the programs participate in IPE. There is also a need for greater institutional infrastructure and readiness for IPE.
An integrative review of Albertina Sisulu and ubuntu: Relevance to caring and nursing
Authors: Downing Charlene , Hastings-Tolsma Marie 
Published: April 2018

Background: Caring forms the core component of nursing. The history of the nature of caring in South Africa is non-specific and is unknown. The impact of nurse and activist Albertina Sisulu – known as the Mother of the Nation – has the potential to offer uniquein sights into what could be the context of caring for nurses.Aims: The study aimed at 1) critically synthesising the available evidence of caring as portrayed by Albertina Sisulu within the South African context, and 2) interpreting Sisulu's work within the Ubuntu philosophy as a framework for nursing and caring.Method: An integrative review was completed using Whittemore and Knafl's framework. Key electronic databases, selected references and web-based search engines were scoured for articles meeting the inclusion criteria. This systematic and iterative approach yielded 18 non-research reports related to Sisulu; eight reports (three research, five non-research) related to ubuntu and nursing. Data was extracted that related to relevant and conclusive new and innovative practices in caring.Results: The findings provided a context for practice guidelines of caring concerning knowledge and critical thinking about caring by nurses. Two primary factors emerged that demonstrated a culture of caring as seen through the prism of Sisulu's life: devoted dancer and creation of a healing environment. These factors also reflect African ubuntu principles, where the focus is on the relationships between people and how these relationships could be conducted.Conclusions: Ubuntu and Sisulu's approach to caring have much to offer for the nursing profession in terms of developing of new directions for nursing pedagogy, curriculum,practice patterns, and policies that emphasise caring constructs.
The motivational needs of primary health care nurses to acquire power as leaders in a mine clinic setting
Authors: Jooste Karien , Hamani Mida 
Published: April 2018

Motivation is a process that influences and directs behaviour in order to satisfy a need. It links with goal 3 of the sustainable development goals that focus on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages. Motivation of nurses is important in the primary health care environment of, for instance, mine settings; since low levels of motivation among Primary Health Care (PHC) nurses could have a negative effect on the achievement of high standards in health service delivery. The study was conducted within the theoretical framework of McClelland's Acquired Motivation Theory which consists of three basic needs, – the need for achievement, the need for power, and the need for affiliation. One of the research questions posed was “What are the motivational needs of PHC nurses to acquire power in the workplace at mine clinic settings?” A quantitative, explorative, descriptive design was followed. The accessible population in this study was PHC nurses (N = 30) working at 13 mine clinics, that also served as the total sample. A 7 point Likert scale was used in a self-administered structured questionnaire that was developed from a literature review. Ethical considerations were adhered to and respondents gave written informed consent. Data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. TheManne Whitney test compared the mean ranks and a p-value of p < 0.05 was indicative of a significant difference between male and female groups. Validity and reliability principles were applied during the entire research process. The results indicated that PHC nurses needed acknowledgement, organisational responsibility, strategic planning and promotion, as well as support. Significant differences between gender were not found in relation to the need to acquire power.

Authors: Van Rooy L. , Coopoo Yoga 
Published: April 2018

Introduction: In order to reduce coronary artery disease (CAD) risk, moderate physical activity should be combined with other lifestyle modifications, such as proper nutrition, to have a dramatic impact. This necessitates educational and preventative measures, which should begin in childhood and continue throughout life.Aim: The aim of this study was to measure the change in nutrition knowledge of coronary artery bypass graft patients by implementation of a lifestyle intervention programme.Methods: The Hawkes andNowak Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (1998) was administered to 18 coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients to assess the change in nutrition knowledge.Results: Significant improvements were noted in the nutrition knowledge score (18.9 ± 3.4–23.2 ± 4.5; p = 0.000). Although all components measured exhibited improvements in knowledge, cholesterol reduction knowledge (5.3 ± 1.8–7.2 ± 1.8; p = 0.0066), low fat food knowledge (3.8 ± 2.3–5.1 ± 2.7; p = 0.011) and high fibre food knowledge (4.1 ± 1.4–4.7 ± 1.1;p = 0.022) exhibited the highest and most significant improvements.Conclusion: Notably, these significant improvements in nutrition knowledge points toward effective education being delivered during the intervention. Cardiac rehabilitation has proved to be effective in changing lifestyle habits in a holistic way and this study further shows an improvement in nutritional knowledge based on sound educational principles.
Exploring the stigma related experiences of family members of persons with mental illness in a selected community in the iLembe district, KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: Nxumalo Celenkosini T. , Mchunu Gugu G. 
Published: April 2018

Background: Stigma in mental illness is a serious social problem which has a multitude of consequences on the individual concerned, as well as his or her family. Research has shown that families of persons living with mental illnesses are often subjected to stigma by virtue of their association with such a person. The stigma of families is seen in the form of assignment of blame, social isolation and rejection. This stigma subsequently perpetuates a cycle of disability on the part of the patient and family.Purpose: To explore the stigma related experiences of family members of persons with mental illness in a selected community in the iLembe district of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), in order to develop recommendations to help families cope with such stigma.Methods: This was a descriptive qualitative study; data was collected from a purposive sample of six family members, which resulted in data saturation. Semi-structured interview questions were used during data collection and content analysis using Creswell's (2009) method was done to analyse the data; resulting in the formation of themes and sub-themes which were supported by the participants' responses and existing literature.Results: Participants reported experiencing stigma from the community in the form of isolation, blame and exploitation, community neglect, as well as labelling and stereotyping. The majority of the participants reported using emotion-focused coping mechanisms to deal with the stigma they faced. Participants suggested that education of communities regarding the myths and facts about mental illness may help to curb the stigma faced by the family members of persons with mental illness.Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it was recommended that a combination of coping strategies, together with the integration of public and private sector support, be used to holistically deal with family related stigma. It was found that ground level education and support to families is the key to curbing family related stigma of mental illness, local NGO's and the clinics would be instrumental in this area.
Etude des variations de taux de quelques constituants azotés du sérum et de leurs rapports, chez l’Agneau de la naissance à six mois
Authors: Charton André , Bernard C. , Gueslin M. , Faye P. , Hervy A. 
Published: April 2018

Au cours de la croissance chez l’agneau, le taux des protéines totales du sérum varie peu.
Par contre, le taux des sérum-globulines, en moyenne très élevé dès le premier jour, diminue jusqu’au deuxième mois, puis remonte progressivement, pour rejoindre au 6e mois le taux moyen de l’adulte. Le taux des sérum-albumines varie en sens inverse : égal à celui de l’adulte dans les premiers jours, il s’élève, reste maximum de la deuxième quinzaine à la fin du deuxième mois, puis diminue ; au cours de cette période, le rapport sérum-albumines/sérum-globu-lines dépasse le double du rapport moyen que l’on peut mesurer chez l’adulte.

Published: April 2018

Abstract. Previous studies have indicated that superaggregates, clusters of aggregates
of soot primary particles, can be formed in large-scale turbulent fires. Due
to lower effective densities, higher porosity, and lower aerodynamic
diameters, superaggregates may pass through inlets designed to remove
particles < 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5).
Ambient particulate matter samples were collected at Peavine Peak, NV, USA
(2515 m) northwest of Reno, NV, USA from June to November 2014. The
Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation (TAPI) 602 BetaPlus
particulate monitor was used to collect PM2.5 on two filter types.
During this time, aggregated particles > 2.5 µm in aerodynamic
diameter were collected on 36 out of 158 sample days. On preliminary
analysis, it was thought that these aggregated particles were
superaggregates, depositing past PM10 (particles
< 10 µm in aerodynamic diameter) pre-impactors and
PM2.5 cyclones. However, further analysis revealed that these
aggregated particles were dissimilar to superaggregates observed in previous
studies, both in morphology and in elemental composition. To determine if the
aggregated particles were superaggregates or an instrument artifact, samples
were investigated for the presence of certain elements, the occurrence of
fires, high relative humidity and wind speeds, as well as the use of
generators on site. Samples with aggregated particles, referred to as
aggregates, were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope for size and
shape and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was used for elemental
analysis. It was determined, based on the high amounts of aluminum present in the
aggregate samples, that a sampling artifact associated with the sample inlet
and prolonged, high wind events was the probable reason for the observed
aggregates.

Authors: Lenková Marianna , Bystrická Judita , Chlebo Peter , Kovarovič Ján 
Published: April 2018

Genus Allium belongs to the family Alliaceae, which contains more than 600 species. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is the most popular food ingredient widely used all over the world. During the last few decades, garlic has received tremendous attention for their wide range of therapeutic properties and great health benefits. Garlic has possessed antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiviral, antioxidant, anticholesteremic, anti-cancerous, and vasodilator characteristics. In this work the total polyphenols content, total sulfur content and antioxidant activity was compared and evaluated in four studied varieties of garlic (Mojmír, Lukan, Záhorský and Makoi). The analyzed samples of garlic were collected at the stage of full maturity in the area Bardejov. The total polyphenols content was measured using the spectrophotometric method of Folin-Ciocalteu agents. The total polyphenols content in studied varieties of garlic were determined in the range 612.23 mg.kg-1 (Mojmír) to 566.01 mg.kg-1 (Lukan). The total polyphenols content in garlic can be arranged as follows: Mojmír >Makoi >Záhorský >Lukan. The determination of the total sulfur content is based on dry combustion in the presence of oxygen and allows for the quantitative conversion of sulfur to SO2. Statistically significant highest level of total sulfur content was recorded in 0.638% (Mojmír) and the lowest level was in 0.421% (Makoi). According to determined values of total sulfur content the studied varieties of garlic can be arranged in the following order: Mojmír >Lukan >Záhorský >Makoi. Antioxidant activity was determined by the spectrophotometric method using a compound DPPH (2.2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl). The highest value of antioxidant activity was measured in Mojmír (15.24%). The lowest level was observed in Makoi (11.73%). The antioxidant activity in garlic declined in the following order: Mojmír >Lukan >Záhorský >Makoi. In all studied samples of garlic was confirmed by the strong dependence of the total polyphenols content, total sulfur content and antioxidant activity.

Published: April 2018

There was tested a simple extraction procedure of flavonoids separation from the original corn silk (CS) material. It was found, that the total flavonoids content differs with the extraction time and extraction temperature. There were found different flavonoids contents in extracts prepared from different maturity stages of the original corn silk material (silking stage (CS-S), milky stage (CS-M)). Extracted flavonoids content was quantified by the lutin standardization method by means of colorimetry at 510 nm wavelength. Obsreved flavonoids concentration was ranging from 2×10-3 mg.mL-1 to 7 ×10-3 mg.mL-1 dependent on the extraction time period and extraction temperature. The highest flavonoids concentration of 7.5×10-3 mg.mL-1 was found for CS-M after 20 minutes extraction time and 80 °C extraction temperature. There was confirmed the presence of flavonoids by fluorescence mapping experiments. There was found a typical multistep decomposition process for both CS-S and CS-M materials by TG analysis. There was found a melting temperature of flavonoids of 54.3 °C for corn silk silking stage material exhibiting 58.9 J.g-1 heat of fusion and 60.2 °C for corn silk milky stage material with 112.9 J.g-1 heat of fusion. The optimal conditions of corn silk flavonoids extraction were 40 ℃, 50 minutes for CS-S, the optimal flavonoids extraction content was (6.8 ±2.1)×10-3 mg.mL-1, 80℃, 20 minutes for CS-M and the optimal extraction content was (7.2 ±0.3)×10-3 mg.mL-1.

Published: April 2018

The colour and limpidity are the first sensory attributes of wines that are appreciated by consumers, predisposing their acceptance or rejection. The aim of this work was to monitor the effect of harvest, processing (different clarification and treatment of must) and storage on the quality of Sauvignon wine. The wines were stored for two years in the wine cellar at 12°C and 70 % of humidity, in the bottles. The acid content, residual sugar and alcohol content among chemical parameters and sensory profile of wines were observed. Sensory quality of wines was evaluated by the aromatic profile (profile method). Based on acquired results, two years of wine storage significantly affected the total acid content of wines and alcohol content. Different treatments of must affected residual sugars, the variant with the maximum dose of the clarification preparation (highly pure cellulose, polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, gelatin and mineral adsorbents) showed statistically the highest content of residual sugars. From the sensory point of view, sensory profiles of wines were different compared to the first and second harvest of grape, sensory profiles of wines were changed also after two years of storage. The fourth variant appeared to be the best stable, treated with the addition of clarification preparation at the dose of 30 g. 100 L-1 must. Because from the same variety Sauvignon were produced wines of different chemical and sensory qualities, some gastronomy recommendations were done as well.
Comparison of clinical outcomes after drug-eluting balloon and drug-eluting stent use for in-stent restenosis related acute myocardial infarction: a retrospective study
Authors: Fang Chih-Yuan , Fang Hsiu-Yu , Chen Chien-Jen , Yang Cheng-Hsu , Wu Chiung-Jen , Lee Wei-Chieh 
Published: April 2018

Background
Good results of drug-eluting balloon (DEB) use are achieved in in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesions, small vessel disease, long lesions, and bifurcations. However, few reports exist about DEB use in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with ISR. This study’s aim was to evaluate the efficacy of DEB for AMI with ISR.

Methods
Between November 2011 and December 2015, 117 consecutive patients experienced AMI including ST-segment elevation MI, and non-ST-segment elevation MI due to ISR, and received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We divided our patients into two groups: (1) PCI with further DEB, and (2) PCI with further drug-eluting stent (DES). Clinical outcomes such as target lesion revascularization, target vessel revascularization, recurrent MI, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality were analyzed.

Results
The patients’ average age was 68.37 ± 11.41 years; 69.2% were male. A total of 75 patients were enrolled in the DEB group, and 42 patients were enrolled in the DES group. The baseline characteristics between the two groups were the same without statistical differences except for gender. Peak levels of cardiac biomarker, pre- and post-PCI cardiac function were similar between two groups. The major adverse cardiac cerebral events rate (34.0% vs. 35.7%; p = 0.688) and cardiovascular mortality rate (11.7% vs. 12.8%; p = 1.000) were similar in both groups.

Conclusions
DEB is a reasonable strategy for AMI with ISR. Compared with DES, DEB is an alternative strategy which yielded acceptable short-term outcomes and similar 1-year clinical outcomes.

Tracking Interannual‐ to Multidecadal‐Scale Climate Variability in the Atlantic Warm Pool Using Central Caribbean Coral Data
Authors: von Reumont J. , Hetzinger S. , Garbe‐Schönberg D. , Manfrino C. , Dullo C. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractAtlantic Warm Pool (AWP) climate variability is subject to multiple influences of remote and local forcing. However, shortage of observational data before the midtwentieth century and of long‐term sea surface temperature (SST) and climate records has hampered the detection and investigation of decadal‐ and longer‐scale variability. We present new seasonally resolved 125‐year records of coral δ18O and Sr/Ca variations in the Central Caribbean Sea (Little Cayman, Cayman Islands; Diploria strigosa). Both geochemical proxies show decreasing long‐term trends, indicating long‐term warming. Sr/Ca indicates much stronger regional warming than large‐scale grid‐SST data, while δ18O tracks large‐scale SST changes in the Atlantic Warm Pool. Seawater δ18O variations are reconstructed, indicating a drying trend over the past century. High spatial correlation between coral δ18O and SST in the region of the Loop Current and Gulf Stream system suggests that Little Cayman is a sensitive location for detecting past large‐scale temperature variability beyond the Central Caribbean region. More specifically, our δ18O data track changes in North Atlantic Oscillation variability on decadal and multidecadal time scales providing insights into the temporal and spatial nonstationarity of the North Atlantic Oscillation. A combination of our δ18O record with two coral records from different Caribbean sites reveals high spatial correspondence between coral δ18O and SST variability in the North Atlantic subtropical gyre, where few instrumental measurements and proxies are available prior to the twentieth century. Our results clearly demonstrate the potential of combining proxy data to provide information from sparsely sampled areas, helping to reduce uncertainty in model‐based projections.
