The experiences of older adults with a diagnosed functional mental illness, their carers and healthcare professionals in relation to mental health service delivery: An integrative review
Authors: Wells Julia , Kennedy Catriona , Bain Heather , Lee Siew Hwa 
Published: September 2019

AbstractAims and objectivesTo analyse the experiences of older people with a diagnosed functional mental illness and their carers in relation to mental health service delivery and analyse the experiences of health and social care professionals who care for and treat older people who have a diagnosed functional mental illness.BackgroundThe prevalence of functional mental illness in older adults is notable but to date has received less research attention than dementia. Older adults with functional mental illness have life expectancy of up to 20 years less than the rest of the population. Therefore, the experiences of older adults with functional mental illness, their carers and healthcare professionals, in relation to mental health services, need further exploration.DesignIntegrative literature review.MethodsA five‐stage process was informed by Whittemore and Knafl. MeSH was used. Keyword searches of MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, EMBASE and AMED were conducted between January 2000–October 2017. Titles were screened, and data were extracted manually and analysed using narrative synthesis. The PRISMA checklist was used.ResultsA total of 342 articles were deemed potentially relevant to this review. Once inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, 28 articles were included. The literature presented an overarching theme “determinants influencing older people with functional mental illness use of services.” The overarching theme is supported by two main themes: inevitable consequences of ageing and variations of the availability of healthcare services for older people with functional mental illness.ConclusionSeveral determinants influence use of services by older people with functional mental illness. Older people with functional mental illness often perceived they did not have a mental health need. Within the literature, there was little acknowledgement of the experiences of older people with functional mental illness regarding their support needs.Relevance to clinical practiceThis integrative review has highlighted that some older people with functional mental illness do not seek mental health support because they believe that functional mental illness is an inevitable consequence of ageing; this is mirrored at times by healthcare professionals and carers. In addition to this finding, different views prevail regarding the impact that ageless and age‐defined mental health service delivery models have on the needs of older people with functional mental illness. Further research is required to understand these findings.

AbstractAims and objectivesThis research was conducted to explore the effectiveness of employing the healthcare failure mode and effect analysis method in the management of trial of labour after caesarean, with the aims of increasing vaginal birth after caesarean section rate and reducing potential risks that might cause severe complications.BackgroundPreviously high caesarean section rate in China and the “two children” policy leads to the situation where multiparas are faced with the choice of another caesarean or trial of labour after caesarean. Despite evidences showing the benefits of vaginal birth after caesarean, obstetricians and midwives in China tend to be conservative due to limited experience and insufficient clinical routines. Thus, its management needs further optimisation in order to make the practice safe and sound.DesignA prospective quality improvement programme using the healthcare failure mode and effect analysis.MethodsWith the structured methodology of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis, we determined core processes of antepartum and intrapartum management, conducted risk priority numbers and devised remedial protocols for failure modes with high risks. The programme was then implemented as a clinical routine under the agreement of the institutional review board and vaginal birth after caesarean success rates were compared before and after the quality improvement programme, both descriptively and statistically. Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence 2.0 checklist was chosen on reporting the study process.ResultsSeventy failure modes in seven core processes were identified in the management process, with 14 redressed for actions. The 1‐year follow‐up trial of labour after caesarean and vaginal birth after caesarean rate was increased compared with the previous 3 years, with a vaginal birth after caesarean rate of 86.36%, whereas the incidence of uterine rupture was not compromised.ConclusionsThe application of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis can not only promote trial of labour after caesarean and vaginal birth after caesarean rate, but also maintaining a low risk of uterine rupture.Relevance to clinical practiceThis modified vaginal birth after caesarean management protocol has been shown effective in increasing its successful rate, which can be continued for further comparison of severe complications to the previous practice.

AbstractAimTo evaluate the diagnostic value of striae gravidarum (SG) presence and localization in predicting the intraperitoneal adhesion (IPA) risk in pregnant women with a history of at least one previous cesarean delivery (CD).MethodsA total of 100 pregnant women with repeated CD were included in this prospective observational study. Patients were divided into three groups according to severity of SG with Davey scoring system. Intraoperative adhesion severity and extension were evaluated by using Nair classification system. Moreover, operation duration and neonatal outcomes were analyzed.ResultsDemographic features were comparable between the groups. Adhesion scores were significantly higher in mild and severe SG groups (for mild SG: 1.93 ± 0.99, for severe SG: 2.81 ± 0.88 and for no SG: 1.4 ± 0.57; P < 0.001). Analysis revealed a positive correlation between IPA and severity of SG (P < 0.001). There was a correlation between increased striae density and adhesion severity especially in the right and left upper quadrants of the abdomen (for right quadrant: r = 0.515, P < 0.001; for left quadrant: r = 0.359, P = 0.005).ConclusionOur results suggest that preoperative evaluation of SG severity and extend particularly in upper quadrants is a feasible option to predict IPA risk in patients with repeated CD.

AbstractMoringa stem meal (MSM) with a high level of crude fibre (CF) might be developed and utilized in herbivorous geese as an unconventional feedstuff. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the MSM level in the diet on the growth performance, slaughter performance, breast meat quality and serum biochemical parameters in geese from 22 to 70 days of age. A one‐factor completely randomized design was adopted in our study. A total of one thousand eight 21‐day‐old geese were randomly divided into six groups, with six replicates per group and 28 birds per replicate. The geese were fed diets containing MSM levels of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 g/kg during day 22–70. The dietary MSM level had no effect (p > .05) on the final body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG) or average daily feed intake (ADFI). The feed/gain ratio (F/G) increased linearly (p < .001) as the dietary MSM level increased. No differences (p > .05) were observed in the slaughter performance, meat quality and the relative organ weight (except for thymus) of the geese (p > .05). The relative weight of the thymus in the geese fed diets with supplementation of MSM was higher than that in the non‐supplemented MSM control group (p < .05). In addition, 100 g MSM/kg of diet decreased the serum glucose (GLU) level (p < .05) and increased the alanine transaminase (ALT) enzyme activity (p = .03). Dietary MSM levels of no more than 60 g/kg had no effects on the growth performance and slaughter performance, whereas diets with 100 g MSM/kg increased the F/G and serum ALT enzyme activity, as well as decreasing the serum GLU level. Therefore, MSM provided at a reasonable level could be developed as an unconventional feedstuff for geese at the finisher period.
The molecular machinery of translational control in malaria parasites
Authors: Bennink Sandra , Pradel Gabriele 
Published: September 2019

SummaryTranslational control regulates the levels of protein synthesized from its transcript and is key for the rapid adjustment of gene expression in response to environmental stimuli. The regulation of translation is of special importance for malaria parasites, which pass through a complex life cycle that includes various replication phases in the different organs of the human and mosquito hosts and a sexual reproduction phase in the mosquito midgut. In particular, the quiescent transmission stages rely on translational control to rapidly adapt to the new environment, once they switch over from the human to the mosquito and vice versa. Three control mechanisms are currently proposed in Plasmodium, (1) global regulation that acts on the translation initiation complex; (2) mRNA‐specific regulation, involving cis control elements, mRNA‐binding proteins and translational repressors; and (3) induced mRNA decay by the Ccr4‐Not and the RNA exosome complex. The main molecules controlling translation are highly conserved in malaria parasites and an increasing number of studies shed light on the interwoven pathways leading to the up or downregulation of protein synthesis in the diverse plasmodial stages. We here highlight recent findings on translational control during life cycle progression of Plasmodium and discuss the molecules involved in regulating protein synthesis.

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients who underwent rotator cuff repair (RCR) concomitant with long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) tenotomy or subpectoral mini‐open tenodesis.MethodsProspectively collected data was reviewed on 154 patients, who underwent a LHBT procedure (tenotomy or tenodesis) concomitant with RCR between January 2010 and January 2017. The exclusion criteria were irreparable massive rotator cuff tear, rotator cuff partial tear, subscapular tendon tear, glenohumeral arthritis, and prior shoulder surgery. The two patient groups are as follows: RCR + Tenotomy (Group A) and RCR + Subpectoral mini‐open tenodesis (Group B). The visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, Constant Score scale, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores, and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores preoperatively and 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year postoperatively and the latest out‐patient clinic were compared between the two groups.ResultsNinety‐two patients in Group A and 62 patients in Group B completed the follow‐up, with a median follow‐up time of 27 and 42 months respectively. At the final follow‐up, the VAS, Constant, ASES, and DASH scores in Group A were 0.1 ± 0.2, 87.0 ± 12.8, 96.4 ± 4.3 and 6.6 ± 4.8 respectively, and the VAS, Constant, ASES, and DASH scores in Group B were 0.1 ± 0.3, 92.5 ± 3.9, 96.3 ± 3.6 and 2.9 ± 1.3 respectively. Clinical evaluation scales showed satisfactory results in both groups, and there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups at the same follow‐up time. Popeye sign was detected in one case of Group A (1.1%) and in one case of Group B (1.6%, P > 0.05).ConclusionBoth tenotomy and subpectoral mini‐open tenodesis are effective for concomitant lesions of the LHBT in patients with reparable rotator cuff tears, and subpectoral mini‐open tenodesis of the LHBT does not provide any significant clinical or functional improvement than isolated tenotomy.

ObjectiveResearch on political socialization has shown that political and civic experiences during high school can impact later political engagement. However, political scientists are increasingly realizing that nonpolitical experiences, dispositions, and attributes in childhood and adolescence can play a role in shaping political participation. Building on recent studies in developmental psychology, we examine whether and how student characteristics and behaviors in adolescence are related to political engagement in adulthood.MethodsUsing data from the Project Talent study, a national longitudinal study of a representative sample of high school students in the United States, we find that several behaviors and attributes related to one's high school experience have long‐term effects on voter turnout.ResultsResponsible students and those with high levels of interest in school are more likely than their counterparts to vote when they reach adulthood.ConclusionThe effects of the school‐related measures we examine (1) persist for more than a decade after high school ends, (2) are similar in magnitude to the effects of classic predictors of political engagement such as parental political activism, and (3) hold even in the presence of controls for general personality traits, cognitive ability, resources such as parental socioeconomic status, socialization experiences, and demographic variables. Our results have implications for how to increase political participation.

AbstractBackgroundThe efficacy of clinical examinations, and hematologic, hemostatic, and serum biochemical assessments to determine appropriate early medical or surgical therapy in Arabian horses with colic have not been well‐described.ObjectivesWe aimed to evaluate clinical and hematologic findings, coagulation‐fibrinolytic parameters, and organ dysfunction markers in association with survival in horses with colic.MethodsSeventeen Arabian horses with colic and ten healthy horses were enrolled. After clinical examinations, including heart rates (HRs), capillary refill times (CRTs), abdominal sounds, rectal palpations, and nasogastric (NG) reflux assessments in both healthy and diseased horses, blood samples were collected and hematologic parameters, coagulation indices such as the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), plasmad‐dimer (PDD), platelet count, fibrinogen, and hepatorenal biomarkers were measured. Based on the outcomes, horses with colic were divided into survival (10) and nonsurvival (7) groups, and all mentioned parameters were compared with the control group horses.ResultsUnlike HRs, CRTs, and abdominal sounds, rectal palpations (57.1%) and NG reflux (28.6%) findings were least sensitive in being able to determine survival. At least three of the five coagulation indices were significantly abnormal (prolonged PT, increased PDD, and decreased plasma fibrinogen) in 71.4% of the horses in the nonsurvival group compared with the control and survival groups. Significantly increased urea, creatinine, and bilirubin levels, and AST activities were also observed in the survival group compared with the control and nonsurvival groups.ConclusionsThe combination of prolonged PT, increased PDD, and hypofibrinogenemia could be a reliable predictor of survival in horses with colic. The significant renal and hepatic dysfunctions in nonsurviving horses with colic appeared to be consistent with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and a grave prognosis.

Published: September 2019

In this study, procedures are presented that can be used to determine the routes of the packages transported within a modular storage system. The problem is a variant of robot motion planning problem. The structures of the procedures are developed in three steps for the simultaneous movement of multiple unit-sized packages in a modular warehouse. The proposed heuristic methods consist of route planning, tagging, and main control components. In order to demonstrate the solution performance of the methods, various experiments were conducted with different data sets and the solution times and qualities of the proposed methods were compared with previous studies. It was found that the proposed methods provide better solutions when taking the number of steps and solution time into consideration.
Investigation of the Wall Scalar Fluctuations Effect on Passive Scalar Turbulent Fields at Several Prandtl Numbers by Means of Direct Numerical Simulations
Authors: Chaouat Bruno , Peyret Christophe 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
We investigate the effect of the wall-scalar fluctuations on passive scalar turbulent fields for a moderate Reynolds number Rτ = 395 and for several Prandtl numbers ranging from the very low value Pr = 0.01 to the high value Pr = 10 by means of direct numerical simulation (DNS) simulations. Several cases of plane channel flows are considered. Case I is a channel flow heated on both walls with a constant imposed heat flux qw. We consider for this case two different types of boundary conditions. For the first one, the isoscalar boundary condition θw = 0 is imposed at the wall implying that its fluctuation and therefore its rms scalar fluctuations θrms=⟨θ′θ′⟩ is zero at the wall whereas in the second type, θw is not prescribed to a fixed value so that it is fluctuating in time at the wall leading to nonzero rms fluctuations. In this latter case, as the heat flux is maintained constant in time at the wall, the fluctuating heat flux q′w reduces to zero at the wall. For illustration purpose, in addition to case I, we also consider case II, which is a plane channel heated only from one wall but cooled from the other one at the same rate taking into account of the freestream scalar boundary condition at the wall θ′w≠0 with q′w=0. The distributions of the mean scalar field, root-mean-square fluctuations, turbulent heat flux, correlation coefficient, turbulent Prandtl number, and Nusselt number are examined in detail. Moreover, some insights into the flow structure of the scalar fields are provided. As a result of interest, it is found that the mean scalar field ⟨θ⟩ is not affected by the scalar fluctuations at the wall. But owing to the different boundary conditions applied at the wall, significant differences in the evolution of the rms scalar fluctuations θrms are observed in the immediate vicinity of the wall. Surprisingly, the maximum rms intensity remains almost unchanged in the near wall region whatever the type of boundary condition is applied at the wall. In addition, the turbulent heat fluxes that play a major role in heat transfer are found to be independent of the wall scalar fluctuations. This study demonstrates that the impact of the wall scalar fluctuations is appreciable mainly in the near wall region. This outcome must be taken into account when simulating industrial flows with thermal boundary conditions involving different fluid/solid combinations.
The Interface Behavior of Multiple Piezoelectric Films Attaching to a Finite-Thickness Gradient Substrate

Published: September 2019

Abstract
The interface behavior of multiple piezoelectric films attaching to a gradient substrate under the action of electromechanical coupling is studied. The effect of neighboring films on the interface response is mainly concerned, including the interface stress, the stress intensity factors near both ends of piezoelectric films and the normal stress of films. In order to solve such a boundary value problem, Fourier transformation is used to achieve governing integro-differential equations, which could further demonstrate the interface behavior. The results show that, in comparison with the single-film model, both the interface stress and the normal stress of films are significantly affected by adjacent piezoelectric films. When the equivalent stiffness of the substrate or the distance between neighboring piezoelectric films becomes larger, the interaction between adjacent piezoelectric films gradually weakens. In addition, both shorter piezoelectric films and softer or thicker intermediate adhesive layers are beneficial to the interface property. The results should be helpful for the accurate measurement of surface sensors and the arrangement of multipoint health detection of gradient structures.
Structural style and kinematics of the Taihang-Luliangshan fold belt, North China: Implications for the Yanshanian orogeny
Authors: Clinkscales Christopher , Kapp Paul 
Published: September 2019

AbstractThe Middle–Late Jurassic to earliest Cretaceous fold belts of the Yanshanian orogen in North China remain enigmatic with respect to their coeval deformation histories and possible relationship to the contemporaneous Cordilleran-style margin of eastern Asia. We present geological mapping, structural data, and a >400-km-long, strike-perpendicular balanced cross section for the Taihang-Luliangshan fold belt exposed in the late Cenozoic central Shanxi Rift. The northeast-southwest–trending Taihang-Luliangshan fold belt consists of long-wavelength folds (∼35–110 km) with ∼1–9 km of structural relief cored by Archean and Paleoproterozoic metamorphic and igneous basement rocks. The fold belt accommodated ≥11 km of northwest-southeast shortening between the Taihangshan fault, bounding the North China Plain, in the east and the Ordos Basin in the west. Geological mapping in the Xizhoushan, a northeast-southwest–oriented range within the larger Taihangshan mountain belt, reveals two major basement-cored folds: (1) the Xizhou syncline, with an axial trace that extends for ∼100 km and is characterized by a steep to overturned forelimb consistent with a southeast sense of vergence, and (2) the Hutuo River anticline, which exposes Archean–Paleoproterozoic rocks in its core that are unconformably overlain by shallowly dipping (<∼20°) Lower Paleozoic rocks. In the Luliangshan, Mesozoic structures include the Luliang anticline, the largest recognized anticline in the region, the Ningjing syncline, which preserves a complete section of Paleozoic to Upper Jurassic strata, and the Wuzhai anticline; together, these folds are characterized by a wavelength of ∼45–50 km. Shortening in the Taihang-Luliangshan fold belt is estimated to have occurred between ca. 160 Ma and 135 Ma, based on the age of the youngest deformed Upper Jurassic rocks in the Ningjing syncline, previously published low-temperature thermochronology, and regional correlations to better-studied Yanshanian fold belts. The timing of basement-involved deformation in the Taihang-Luliangshan fold belt, which formed >1000 km from the nearest plate margin, corresponds with the termination of arc magmatism along the eastern margin of Asia, implying a potential linkage to the kinematics of the westward-subducting Izanagi (paleo-Pacific) plate.
