Bird distribution dynamics - Indigenous francolins in South Africa, Lesotho, and Swaziland
Authors: Lerm Rion Elias 
Published: June 2019

This is one of a series of papers on bird distribution dynamics that deals with the six indigenous francolin species of South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland. These gamebirds are affected by various ecological and anthropogenic drivers such as fire, livestock grazing, agriculture, wing shooting and other forms of habitat modification. Their resident statuses and ground-living habits also renders them vulnerable to predators as well as the aforementioned drivers. Assessing the differences between reporting rates of the two South African Bird Atlas Projects as well as overlaying a recent national land cover spatial dataset we attempted to identify which habitats might have caused declines and/or increases in distribution. Using the same methods as with previous bird distribution dynamics papers, we revealed that most species have declined but, in parts of their distribution increases are evident since the first bird atlas project. Here, the perceived drivers of changes in distribution mostly in the form of land cover, are diverse and varied between species. Unfortunately, we could only speculate on the effects of fire as the land cover dataset does not provide a burnt-area class.

Dwarf Ravens kill and eat a Spotted Thicknee
The Dwarf Raven or Somali Crow Corvus edithae is an endemic resident in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somali, Kenya and SE Sudan (C Hillary Fry & Stuart Keith et al. 2000). In Kenya they are locally found mostly in the North from around Kapedo, Laisamis, Mado Gashi and Wajir areas. These birds belong to the Corvidae family. They are medium to large passerine birds. They are conspicuous, bold, inquisitive and highly adaptable. As a family they occupy a wide range of habitats including forest, woodland, grassland, tundra, desert and cliffs but more often around human habitation (C Hillary Fry & Stuart Keith et al. 2000).
These species in particular inhabits deserts, semi-deserts, arid plains, dry savannas and open thorn bush from sea level to usually around 2000 m ASL (C Hillary Fry & Stuart Keith et al. 2000). Their general behavior is not well documented but are known to be solitary or in pairs and in flocks of up to 100 in the non-breeding season. They are usually fearless and aggressive.
Their food consists of small ground-dwelling animals, carrion, and some plants, also bird eggs, tick and lice (C Hillary Fry & Stuart Keith et al. 2000) and largely considered to be scavengers. So while at Turkana in May 2018 I was surprised to witness a small group of the species behave like raptors in pursuit of their prey. A murder of three Dwarf Ravens landed about 50 m from where I was standing, and begun rummaging through the small dry bushes around. I had not even taken much notice of two fully grown Spotted Thicknees (Burhinus capensis) nearby, thanks to their cryptic plumage blending well with the sun bleached volcanic rocks spewed all over this vast arid region interspersed by short dry grass and bushes. Before long I noticed something emerge fast from the short bushes apparently disturbed by the ravens. It was a young Spotted Thicknee, not fully grown but just as tall as the parents who were close by. The ravens actively pursued the young Thicknee, caught it and relentlessly attacked it. The vicious attack was briefly interrupted when an Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus landed nearby and again when a White-headed Vulture Trigonoceps occipitalis also landed nearby. The parents of the young Thicknee watched from a safe distance away and made no attempts to rescue the fledgling. Eventually the murder of crows killed the Thicknee before proceeding to dismember it and devour it. We could not find other records of Corvids actively hunting and killing live prey but it is likely desert dwelling corvids will often resort to catching live prey (of any taxa)

Rural Kansas Family Physician Satisfaction with Caring for Spanish-Speaking Only Patients
Authors: Neill Theresia , Irwin Gretchen , Owings C. Scott , Cathcart-Rake William 
Published: June 2019

Introduction. Patient satisfaction with the care they receive can beinfluenced negatively by a language barrier between the physician andpatient. However, there is a paucity of information regarding the consequencesof a language barrier on physician satisfaction, althoughthis barrier has the potential to decrease physician wellness. Thisstudy sought to determine if a language barrier is a source of professionaldissatisfaction in family medicine physicians in rural Kansas.
Methods. In a cross-sectional study, members of the Kansas Academyof Family Physicians who practiced in the rural Kansas countieswith the highest percentage of Hispanic residents were surveyed. Aquestionnaire was developed to determine the demographics of thephysician, details regarding his or her practice, and percentage of Hispanicand Spanish-speaking only (SSO) patients in their practice.Physicians also were queried as to their level of Spanish-speakingability, availability of certified interpreters, and their satisfaction withcaring for their SSO patients.
Results. Fifty-two physicians were identified and sent questionnairesby mail. Eighteen questionnaires were completed and returned, resultingin a 34% response rate. Respondents remained anonymous. In thepractices surveyed, 61% of practice settings had a Hispanic-patientpopulation greater than 25%. Only one of the eighteen respondentshad greater than 25% of SSO patients in his or her practice. A certifiedinterpreter was used less than 25% of the time in over 75% ofthe clinical encounters with SSO patients. Seventy-five percent ofphysicians reported no difficulty establishing trust and rapport withtheir SSO patients. Eighty-nine percent of respondents rated theirrelationship with SSO patients as good to excellent, and 83% weresatisfied with the care they were able to provide this group. Seventyeightpercent of respondents reported that their ability to care forSSO patients decreased or had no effect on their professional satisfaction.Seventy-eight percent of physicians also rated their overallprofessional satisfaction in regards to their physician/patient relationshipas good to excellent. However, language barriers affectedphysician-patient relationships, physician satisfaction with care, andprofessional satisfaction.
Conclusion. Language barrier affected physician’s relationships withSSO patients, led to decreased physician satisfaction with the carethey provided and to decreased professional satisfaction.KS J Med 2017;10(4):79-83.

Authors: Padilla Serina , Homan Gretchen , Engel Matt , Ahlers-Schmidt Carolyn R. , Harris Kari 
Published: June 2019

Introduction. Kansas falls consistently below average for adolescentvaccination of meningococcal (MCV), human papillomavirus(HPV), and influenza.
Methods. For this study, the members of Kansas Chapter of theAmerican Academy of Pediatrics were emailed a confidential electronicsurvey soliciting their impressions of vaccination in theirpractice.
Results. Of 137 providers emailed, 61 (45%) completed the survey.Thirteen providers were excluded as they did not see/vaccinate adolescentsor did not complete the survey. Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis(Tdap), and MCV vaccines were most commonly up to date with31 (65%) and 20 (42%) respondents reporting greater than 90%immunization rates, respectively. HPV (n = 42, 89%) and influenza(n = 40, 83%) vaccines had refusal rates greater than 25% in mostclinics. Most practices (n = 44, 92%) used internal electronic medicalrecords to track vaccinations, although 29 practices (60%) utilizedthe state immunization information system. Providers requestedvaccine-specific patient education tools, positive media coverage,staffing support, and best-practices workshops to support vaccinationefforts.
Conclusion. Kansas providers may not be optimizing availableresources to enhance these rates, such as Web IZ tracking and immunizationreminders. Patient education supplies, specific to HPV andInfluenza vaccination, potentially could increase vaccination rates.KS J Med 2017;10(4):84-87.

Published: June 2019

Introduction. Agriculture is an industry where family members oftenlive and work on the same premises. This study evaluated injury patternsand outcomes in children from farm-related accidents.
Methods. A 10-year retrospective review of farm-accident relatedinjuries was conducted of patients 17 years and younger. Data collectedincluded demographics, injury mechanism, accident details, injuryseverity and patterns, treatments required, hospitalization details, anddischarge disposition.
Results. Sixty-five patients were included; 58.5% were male and themean age was 9.7 years. Median Injury Severity Score and GlasgowComa Scale were 5 and 15, respectively. Accident mechanisms includedanimal-related (43.1%), fall (21.5%), and motor vehicle (21.5%).Soft tissue injuries, concussions and upper extremity fractures werethe most common injuries observed (58.5%, 29.2%, and 26.2%,respectively). Twenty-six patients (40%) required surgical intervention.Mean hospital length of stay was 3.4 ± 4.7 days. The majority ofpatients were discharged to home (n = 62, 95.4%) and two patientssuffered permanent disability.
Conclusion. Overall, outcomes for this population were favorable,but additional measures to increase safety, such as fall prevention,animal handling, and driver safety training should be advocated.KS J Med 2017;10(4):92-95.
Exploring the Impact of Group Size on KANSAS JOURNAL of MEDIC INE Medical Students’ Perception of Learning and Professional Development During Clinical Rotations
Authors: Ofei-Dodoo Samuel , Goerl Kyle , Moser Scott 
Published: June 2019

Introduction. Research assessing the size of learning groups inmedical education and how that affects the learner’s experience islimited. The main goals of the study were to (1) assess the effect ofvarying group size on medical students’ subjective experiences duringclinical years. We hypothesized that students in smaller groups weremore likely to have better experiences during clinical rotation thanthose in larger groups, and (2) determine if medical students havedesirable experiences working with other medical learners (fellows,residents, osteopathic students, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners)during clinical rotations.
Methods. The study utilized a mixed method approach where 153medical students in their clinical years were asked to complete a10-item survey. A linear-by-linear association test of trend andMann-Whitney U test were used to evaluate the students’ quantitativedata. A multidisciplinary team used an immersion-crystallizationapproach to analyze the content of the students’ qualitative data.
Results. There was a 90% (137/153) response rate. Most students(80%) reported desirable experiences during clinical rotationsbecause of supportive learning environments, engaging preceptors,willingness of residents to teach, as well as the opportunity to participatein patient care. There were significant differences in students’perceived clinical experiences as a function of group size, wheregroups of two students were preferable over groups of four or more.
Conclusions. Varying group size appears to affect students’ clinicalexperiences. Kans J Med 2018;11(3):70-75.

Published: June 2019

A Educação Permanente em Saúde é uma estratégia para a construção de novas práticas em saúde e enfermagem. Pesquisa com objetivo de identificar os desafios enfrentados pelos enfermeiros para implementação da Educação Permanente em Saúde (EPS) na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). Pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, descritiva, exploratória e de campo. Aplicou-se questionário semiestruturado com 08 enfermeiras da ESF de um município do Extremo Sul de Santa Catarina.A análise e interpretação dos dados qualitativos foram realizadas pela análise de conteúdo, a partir da categorização dos dados. Os resultados mostraram que não há esse entendimento por parte das enfermeiras de como funciona o organização da educação permanente em saúde na estratégia saúde da família, há um desconhecimento sobre o verdadeiro significado e as práticas que envolvem aPolítica de Educação Permanente em Saúde. A Educação Permanente em Saúde, mesmo sendo uma política pública, ainda é realizada de forma fragmentada e pouco flexível. É necessário que os profissionais tenham clareza da direcionalidade dessa política para a transformação das práticas de saúde.

Esse texto apresenta dados de uma pesquisa realizada em 2006 com oobjetivo de conhecer melhor a relação existente entre escola pública, co-munidade e movimentos sociais na região de Americana - SP. O levan-tamento de dados foi feito por meio de um questionário aplicado a 58instituições escolares por alunos do segundo ano do curso de Pedagogiado Unisal – Centro Universitário Salesiano de São Paulo – Unidade Ma-ria Auxiliadora / Americana - SP. Os resultados estão aqui sistematizadose analisados. Entre as conclusões mais importantes destacam-se as duasseguintes: primeiro que com ou sem as “parcerias” com as empresasou com as organizações não governamentais, o histórico problema dafalta de verbas ainda persiste como realidade presente nas iniciativas dasescolas públicas; segundo que a relação entre escola e comunidade não se estabelece por “Decreto”, como parece ser o caso do Programa Es-cola da Família pois, na amostra pesquisada, as decisões de gabinete nãoforam capazes de superar o distanciamento verificado entre elas, o que éprejudicial para ambas.
I'm Fun, Too! by J. Fenske
Authors: Strouk Jack 
Published: June 2019

Fenske, Jonathan. I’m Fun, Too!. Scholastic Inc., 2018.
The children’s book, I’m Fun, Too!, by Jonathan Fenske, is a feel-good book for younger children, teaching life lessons about how each person is special in their own way.
The illustrations are done with Lego® characters, which can encourage students to connect with the book if they like using Lego®. This picture book’s target audience is primary students and early learners as there is vocabulary that emphasizes learning about feelings and teaches lessons about sharing and self-worth. It is written in the form of a large comic and has comical aspects to it that will engage students through the colours and funny illustrations. The speech bubbles give the feel of a Lego® comic, making the book more dynamic.
This book would be effective at introducing to children how to express their feelings. The Lego® theme creates a setting, where having fun is explored. Younger readers would enjoy the colourful illustrations and the funny aspects of the book, while consequently learning about positive communication. I would recommend this book to students who are in Kindergarten and the first grade. The diction is simplistic, yet also educational, teaching productive ways for kindergarten students to express their emotions and feelings.

Julian is a Mermaid by J. Love
Authors: Marriott Emily 
Published: June 2019

Love, Jessica. Julian is a Mermaid. Candlewick Press, 2018.
Jessica Love’s first book, Julian is a Mermaid, lives up to her last name: it is a book about love. Julian, a young boy, dreams of being a mermaid. He and his abuela (Spanish for grandmother) go swimming every weekend and on the way home, Julian watches women in their mermaid dresses on the subway. He dreams of becoming a mermaid too, and in the end (spoiler), although he worries about his abuela’s reaction to him dressing up as a mermaid, she embraces it and takes him out to what looks like a mermaid parade.
Love does not give the reader a lot of text, but the book is very easy to follow, and the images draw us in to what Julian is thinking and feeling. The muted colours used by Love for background images allows the focus to be drawn to the story itself and what Julian is both experiencing and imagining. The illustrations show us the feelings of the characters. Love manages to capture subtle body language to portray Julian’s emotions, such as him grabbing his arm in embarrassment when he is caught dressing up like a mermaid. The images remind one of the ocean, drawing us in to look deeper.
The book reminds us that gender norms can be broken, and that anyone can be a mermaid. It is a hopeful story about love transcending normative ways of being.
Children will benefit from reading this book as it will remind them that imaginations do not need to be constrained by strictly defined identity roles. Imagining possibilities of identities allows children to feel comfortable exploring identity.
Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Emily Marriott

Published: June 2019

Background:
To facilitate the interpretation of numerical patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) scales, concepts such as the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) have been introduced. Currently, no PASS thresholds have been established for the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) after total knee arthroplasty. The aims of the current study were to define PASS thresholds for the KOOS subscales and several other generic and knee-specific PROMs at 1 and 3 years after total knee arthroplasty using data from an international, multicenter clinical outcome study of a modern, well-performing implant system.

Methods:
The study cohort consisted of 499 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty from an international, multicenter study. At 1 and 3 years after a total knee arthroplasty, patients completed the KOOS, EuroQoL 5-dimension 3-level (EQ-5D-3L), EuroQol visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), and numerical rating scales (NRS) for knee-related pain and satisfaction. PASS thresholds were calculated at each follow-up interval using 3 anchor-based approaches, using patient-reported satisfaction as the anchor.

Results:
According to our satisfaction anchor, 302 (78.9%) of 383 responding patients were satisfied at 1 year, and 242 (80.4%) of 301 responding patients were satisfied at 3 years. PASS thresholds were 84.5 points at 1 year and 87.5 points at 3 years for KOOS pain, 80.5 points at 1 year and 84.0 points at 3 years for KOOS symptoms, 83.0 points at 1 year and 87.5 points at 3 years for KOOS activities of daily living, 66.0 points at 1 year and 66.0 points at 3 years for KOOS quality of life, 83.0 points at 1 year and 90.5 points at 3 years for EQ-VAS, 0.80 point at 1 year and 0.80 point at 3 years for EQ-5D, and 1.8 points at 1 year and 1.8 points at 3 years for NRS pain.

Conclusions:
The current study is the first, to our knowledge, to propose PASS thresholds for the KOOS subscales at 1 and 3 years after total knee arthroplasty and contributes to PASS literature on other common PROMs. These findings will provide a useful reference for future total knee arthroplasty outcome studies and will help to determine what patients consider to be satisfactory operations.

Atypical Radiographic Features of Aggressive Vertebral Hemangiomas
Authors: Wang Ben , Zhang Lihua , Yang Shaomin , Han Songbo , Jiang Liang , Wei Feng , Yuan Huishu , Liu Xiaoguang , Liu Zhongjun 
Published: June 2019

Background:
Vertebral hemangioma (VH) is one of the most common benign spinal tumors and can be aggressive in some cases. While most aggressive VHs have typical radiographic features, including vertical striations, a honeycomb appearance, and/or a “polka-dot sign” in computed tomography (CT) scans, cases with atypical features might complicate diagnosis. This study aimed to determine the range and frequency of these atypical features.

Methods:
In this retrospective study, to identify the typical and atypical features of aggressive VH, pretreatment CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were reviewed retrospectively by 1 radiologist and 1 orthopaedic surgeon. Percutaneous biopsies were performed to confirm the VH in atypical cases.

Results:
A total of 95 patients with aggressive VHs were treated in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2017. Thirty-four (36%) of the lesions showed at least 1 atypical radiographic feature: 16 patients (17%) had a vertebral compression fracture, 11 patients (12%) had expansive and/or osteolytic bone destruction without a honeycomb appearance and/or “polka-dot sign”, 11 patients (12%) had obvious epidural osseous compression of the spinal cord, 12 patients (13%) had involvement of >1 segment, 9 patients (10%) had a VH centered in the pedicle and/or lamina, and 8 patients (8%) had atypical MRI signals. Forty-three patients underwent percutaneous biopsies, which had an accuracy of 86%.

Conclusions:
Based on radiographic analysis, aggressive VH can be classified as typical or atypical. More than one-third of aggressive VH lesions may have at least 1 atypical feature. CT-guided biopsies are indicated for these atypical cases.
