Health promotion in physiotherapy services using NHS health and diabetes checks
Authors: Rawlinson Gillian 
Published: January 2019

Several public health initiatives have been launched in England including NHS Health Checks and the National Diabetes Prevention programme; however, uptake has been suboptimal. Musculoskeletal problems are a large health burden and there are increasing links identified between musculoskeletal disorders and metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, which are influenced by lifestyle factors. Physiotherapists have a key role to play in public health and are an untapped resource. Methods: An enhanced health promotion service, using support staff, was implemented into a physiotherapy-led musculoskeletal service including the provision of NHS Health Checks and diabetes checks. Evaluation included descriptive statistical analysis, documentary analysis and qualitative review. Results: In total, 1550 health assessments were completed with 43% eligible for a HbA1c test and 17% were eligible for an NHS Health Check. Service evaluation feedback from patients and GPs was wholly positive and social prescribing increased. Discussion: This service describes a successful model for embedding NHS Health Checks and diabetes checks into a musculoskeletal service, providing opportunistic health promotion and behaviour change interventions and reducing the duplication of different public health initiatives. This service uses an untapped allied health professional public health workforce to support an identification of disease, behaviour change, self-care and social prescribing within the holistic management of musculoskeletal conditions.

Authors: Snaith Beverly , Clarke Ruth , Coates Amanda , Field Lisa , McGuinness Alison , Yunis Saminah 
Published: January 2019

Background: Consultant radiographer numbers remain low despite the ongoing capacity challenges in diagnostic imaging. This is compounded by the limited evidence of how such roles can positively impact on service delivery, particularly in relation to their leadership expectations. Aims: To examine the activities undertaken by consultant radiographers; evidence the impact of the roles, and consider whether the roles encompass the four domains of consultant practice. Method: Six consultant radiographers employed in a single NHS Trust completed an activity diary over a period of 7 days. Interval sampling every 15 minutes enabled the collection of a large volume of complex data. Findings: All consultants worked beyond their contacted hours. The documented activities demonstrate the breadth of the roles and confirmed that the participants were undertaking all four core functions of consultant practice. Conclusion: The impact of the roles stretched beyond the local department and organisation to the health system and wider profession.

Prospect Theory and sentiment-driven fluctuations
Authors: Ciccarone Giuseppe , Giuli Francesco , Marchetti Enrico 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
In this paper we aim to present a novel channel through which the volatility of the monetary/financial sector affects the instability of the real macroeconomic variables originated by self-fulfilling market sentiments. To this aim, we insert some elements of Prospect Theory in the preferences of agents living in an overlapping generations economy where consumers’ heterogeneity and firms’ imperfect information on the level of aggregate demand allow market sentiments to affect the equilibrium path of the economy under rational expectations. In this environment, greater heterogeneity in the household’s narrow framing parameter and in the degree of competition in goods markets favor the emergence of self-fulfilling equilibria by exacerbating the coordination problem generated by a pair-wise matching process taking place in the labor market. Furthermore, the more dispersed are agents’ deviations from standard rationality the higher is the volatility of the economy due to sentiment fluctuations. Finally, a higher volatility of the money/financial market, by increasing the effect of Prospect Theory on households’ choices under risk, increases the noise of the signal upon which firms make their hiring decisions; this, in its turn, generates greater variability in market sentiments and hence in real economic activity.
Lexico-grammatical alignment in metaphor construal
Authors: Lederer Jenny 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThis study concerns the distribution of metaphorical lexis in discrete syntactic constructions. Source and target seed language from established conceptual metaphors in economic discourse is used to catalogue the specific patterns of how metaphorical pairs align in five syntactic constructions: A-NP, N-N, NP-of-NP, V-NP, and X is Y. Utilizing the Corpus of Contemporary American English (Davies, Mark. 2008–present.The corpus of contemporary American English: 450 million words, 1990–present [Online Corpus]), the examination includes 12 frequent metaphorical target triggers combined with 84 source triggers to produce 2,016 ordered collocations, i.e.investment freezeandturbulent market. Through detailed type and token counts, results confirm that source domains function as conceptual material used to structure the target domain and disproportionally fill syntactic positions associated with predication (cf. Sullivan, Karen. 2009. Grammatical constructions in metaphoric language. In B. Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk & K. Dziwirek (eds.),Studies in cognitive corpus linguistics. Frankfurt: Peter Lang Publishers; Sullivan, Karen. 2013.Frames and constructions in metaphoric language. Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing). Given a lexeme’s origin – source or target – when used in source-target metaphors, syntactic alignment can be predicted,market climateis metaphorical,climate marketis not. Exceptions to these strong tendencies are explained through genre-specific lexicalization processes in which predicate denoting terms likebubble(market bubble) establish themselves as domain modifiers (bubble market) in economic jargon. Through quantitative techniques to gage metaphorical conventionality and lexical versatility, corpus methodology is used to define and inform the value of frequency effects in cataloguing and understanding metaphorical lexicalization.
Study on corrosion investigations in industrial effluents: a review
Authors: Ram Chhotu , Zaman Bushra , Dhir Amit 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Corrosion affects the usefulness of metallic materials used in the construction of an effluent treatment plant (ETP). The present report investigates the corrosive and inhibitive properties of the chemicals present in the effluent of paper mill and distillery industries. Chemicals such as chloride, chlorophenols, phosphate, calcium, nitrite, and nitrate enhance corrosion, whereas the presence of sulfate, potassium, organic matter, and melanoidins (color) inhibits corrosion at an acidic pH level in distillery and paper mill effluents. A finding shows that pH level has an important role in increasing or decreasing the effect on corrosivity of effluents.

Published: January 2019

AbstractObjectivesTo examine the best practice evidence of the effectiveness of the flipped classroom (FC) as a burgeoning teaching model on the development of self-directed learning in nursing education.Data sourcesThe relevant randomized controlled trial (RCT) and non-RCT comparative studies were searched from multiple electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP) from inception to June 2017.Review methodsThe data were independently assessed and extracted for eligibility by two reviewers. The quality of included studies was assessed by another two reviewers using a standardized form and evaluated by using the Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias tool. The self-directed learning scores (continuous outcomes) were analyzed by using the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) with the standard deviation average (SMD) or weighted mean difference (WMD). The heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran’sI2statistic.ResultsA total of 12 studies, which encompassed 1440 nursing students (intervention group = 685, control group = 755), were eligible for inclusion in this review. Of 12 included studies, the quality level of one included study was A and of the others was B. The pooled effect size showed that compared with traditional teaching models, the FC could improve nursing students’ self-directed learning skill, as measured by the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS), Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale for Nursing Education (SDLRSNE), Self-Regulated Learning Scale (SRL), Autonomous Learning Competencies scale (ALC), and Competencies of Autonomous Learning of Nursing Students (CALNS). Overall scores and subgroup analyses with the SRL were all in favor of the FC.ConclusionsThe result of this meta-analysis indicated that FCs could improve the effect of self-directed learning in nursing education. Future studies with more RCTs using the same measurement tools are needed to draw more authoritative conclusions.

Published: January 2019

Abstract

Objective
This research aims to investigate the best “Te Ding Dian Ci Bo Pu Zhi Liao Qi” (TDP) irradiation duration to enhance the efficacy of nursing and patient satisfaction.

Methods
A total of 34 eligible patients were randomly divided into the treatment group (n
=18) and the control group (n
=16) between December 2015 and December 2016. Qualitative and quantitative studies were combined to create an impersonal evaluation of incision pain score, time of stitches removal, duration of hospital stays, patient satisfaction, and subjective experience due to different TDP irradiation durations.

Results
The incision pain scores of the treatment group were 3.06±0.899 and 1.35±0.493 before and after treatment, respectively (P
< 0.05), whereas those of the control group were 2.46±1.127 and 1.0±0.707 before and after treatment, respectively (P
<0.05). No significant difference was found between the treatment group and the control group (P
>0.05). The time of stitches removal and the duration of hospital stays of the treatment group were 14.85±4.070 and 19.08±6.652, respectively, whereas those of the control group were 14.08±0.641 and 23.15±10.72 (P
>0.05), respectively. The patient satisfaction degree score of the treatment group was 2.77±0.439, whereas that of the control group was 2.08±0.954 (P
< 0.05).

Conclusions
TDP irradiation can effectively relieve the incision pain of patients after lumbar spinal surgery. The treatment group is superior to the control group in patient satisfaction.
Chewing gum for declining ileus and accelerating gastrointestinal recovery after appendectomy
Authors: Mahmoud Manal Hamed , Mohammad Safaa Hussein 
Published: January 2019

Abstract

Objective
Ileus usually occurs after abdominal surgery and is allied with complication and delays recovery. It is hypothesized that chewing gum reduces postoperative ileus by improving early recovery of gastrointestinal function. This study aimed to explore whether chewing gum after appendectomy accelerates the recovery of gastrointestinal function.

Methods
Randomized control trial was used in this study. This study was conducted in the General Surgery Department at Zagazig University Hospital. A total of 240 patients undergoing appendectomy were involved in this study; they were divided into the chewing sugar-free gum group (120) and the control group (120). Two tools were utilized in this study. Tool I: Structured Interviewing Schedule: part 1: assessment of personnel characteristics. Part 2: assessment of anthropometric measurements of the studied subjects as well as pre- and intraoperative indicators of them. Tool II: postoperative assessment sheet: assessed postoperative parameters of the intestinal function, occurrence of postoperative ileus, and related symptoms were assessed among studied participants.

Results
There were highly significant statistical differences in the time of resumption of gastrointestinal functions and postoperative ileus symptoms between the two groups (P
<0.001), which was significantly shorter in the chewing gum group compared to the control group.

Conclusions
The use of chewing gum is a useful and cheap method that can be employed to cut down the time to recover and accelerate normalization of gastrointestinal function. Chewing sugar-free gum after abdominal surgery is recommended to be added to the protocol of nursing care in the surgery units as well as its involvement in the nursing curriculum.

Published: January 2019

Abstract

Objective
The aim of this study was to explore the safe and effective method of expectoration in the preoperative period of patients with lung cancer resection and to promote the rehabilitation of patients.

Methods
A total of 100 cases of lung cancer patients undergoing elective surgery were divided into the observation group and the control group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with vibration expectoration vest for expectoration during the perioperative period, and the observation group was treated with respiratory function exerciser that has expectoration function in the perioperative period, three times a day, and the effect was evaluated after 5 days.

Results
The number of patients in the observation group after the first expectoration time was significantly less than that of the control group (P<0.001). Pain score, pulmonary atelectasis, and pulmonary infection rate of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group; the hospitalization time was significantly shorter than that of the control group; and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).

Conclusions
Lobectomy for lung cancer patients with perioperative respiratory training for respiratory function exercise, compared with conventional methods, is helpful for postoperative expectoration and to reduce the incidence of adverse events.

The results of the present study showed that the mean and standard deviation of the students’ HPLP-II scores as 84 ± 28 and the mean and standard deviation of SWBS scores was 90 ± 15. Also, there was a statistically significant relationship between HPLP-II scores and SWBS scores (r = 0.032).

Conclusion
The finding of this study showed that SH impacts on a HPL. It is recommended for policy-makers and health providers due to the positive role of SH in improving HPLs.
Multi-Objective Optimization of an ABE Fermentation System for Butanol Production as Biofuel
Authors: Velázquez-Sánchez Hugo I. , Aguilar-López Ricardo 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
In this work, a previously reported unstructured kinetic model of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824, validated with experimental data under different culture conditions, was used to determine the optimal process conditions from an ABE fermentation system for biofuel production. The goal of this work was to simultaneously maximize two conflicting objectives: volumetric productivity and final concentration of butanol considering both Fed-Batch and single-stage CSTR operation regimes using either a free or immobilized cell reactor. The result of the after mentioned strategy was the construction of the Pareto Fronts and optimal trajectories for the inlet solution feeding rate and concentration using a Sequential Quadratic Programming methodology.
The obtained results suggest that the maximum concentration and productivity of butanol are achieved in a semi-continuous system operating with immobilized cells, obtaining values of 19.1454 kg m-3 and 0.3655 kg m-3 h-1, respectively, representing an increase of 48 % and 104 % compared to the most recent industrial process reported to date.

Chemical and biological effects of low pressure N2-O2 plasma setup on polymeric materials
Authors: Mrad Omar , Saloum Saker , Al-Mariri Ayman , Ismail Iyas M. 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The effects of low-pressure RF N2-O2 plasma produced using a 13.56 MHz hollow cathode discharge system on the polymeric materials in terms of both biological and chemical sides are studied. A complete inactivation of most of the studied bacteria has occurred within 30 min. However, this treatment caused an increase of the surface hydrophilicity, as manifested by the contact angle measurements. This increase was explained by the formation of the N and O functionalities revealed by the X-ray photoelectron technique analysis. A careful analysis of the high-resolution C 1s peak has also revealed some variations on the C–C, C–O and O=C– bonds and the emergence of a new C-N bond.

Published: January 2019

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to develop a dual-loaded core shell nanoparticles encapsulating paclitaxel (PTX) and ellagic acid (EA) by membrane dialysis method. Based on particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), and entrapment efficiency, the dual drug-loaded nanoparticles (F2) was optimized. The optimized nanoparticles (F2) showed a particle size of 140±2 nm and a PDI of 0.23±3. The size and the morphology were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and found agreement with the results of dynamic light scattering. The entrapment efficiencies of total drug (PTX and EA), PTX, and EA in the nanoparticles (F2) were measured as 80%, 62.3%, and 37.7%, respectively. The in vitro release profile showed a controlled release pattern for 48 h. A higher cytotoxicity was observed with nanoparticles (F2) in comparison to free PTX. The results revealed that co-delivery of PTX and EA could be used for its oral delivery for the effective treatment of breast cancer.
Multiple sclerosis – the remarkable story of a baffling disease
Authors: Grzegorski Tomasz , Losy Jacek 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis has always been an enigma to its sufferers, their families, medical investigators, and clinicians. For many centuries, there have been attempts to understand its causes and nature, and to discover treatment methods. In the Middle Ages, the disease was claimed to be sent directly from God. A significant development in exploring multiple sclerosis took place in the 19th century, when Jean-Martin Charcot and his colleagues distinguished the disease, precisely described its symptoms, attempted to explain its pathophysiology, and introduced the first methods of symptomatic treatment. The 20th century was a period of discovery and development of diagnostic techniques, such as cerebrospinal fluid analysis, evoked potentials, and magnetic resonance imaging as well as an era of introducing steroid therapy for acute treatment. Currently, the dynamic development of disease modifying therapy and neuroimaging can be observed. The paper aims to delve into the remarkable history of multiple sclerosis by focusing on the earliest case reports and discovery of the disease and exploring its nature, diagnostic methods, and treatment.
