Abstract
Objective
Drugs increase fall risk and decrease performance on balance and mobility tests. Conversely, whether biofeedback training to reduce fall risk also decreases scores on a published drug-based fall risk index has not been documented. Forty-eight community-dwelling older adults underwent either treadmill gait training plus visual feedback (+VFB), or walked on a treadmill without feedback. The Quantitative Drug Index (QDI) was derived from each participant’s drug list and is based upon all cause drug-associated fall risk. Analysis of covariance assessed changes in the QDI during the study, and data is presented as mean ± standard error of the mean.

Results
The QDI scores decreased significantly (p = 0.031) for participants receiving treadmill gait training +VFB (− 0.259 ± 0.207), compared to participants who walked on the treadmill without VFB (0.463 ± 0.246). Changes in participants QDI scores were dependent in part upon their age, which was a significant covariate (p = 0.007). These preliminary results demonstrate that rehabilitation to reduce fall risk may also decrease use of drugs associated with falls. Determination of which drugs or drug classes that contribute to the reduction in QDI scores for participants receiving treadmill gait training +VFB, compared to treadmill walking only, will require a larger participant investigation.

Published: October 2018

Background: People with diabetes have a high risk of developing micro and macrovascular complications that increase treatment costs and shorten life expectancy. Telecoaching programmes can improve short-term control of diabetes and reduce disease burden. Aims: To analyse the effect of a health telecoaching programme in the control of type 2 diabetes. Methods: A pragmatic clinical trial was carried out. Thirty-one patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into control and intervention groups. The control group received usual nursing care, and those in the intervention group received usual care and telecoaching for 24 weeks. Findings: The intervention group improved: measurements of abdominal circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and body mass index; variables related to glycaemic control (fasting venous glucose and glycated haemoglobin/HbA1c); and high-density lipoprotein levels. Conclusion: The data indicate that telecoaching is an effective tool for diabetes management. It is recommended that the study should be developed to include more people and run over the long term.

Respiration Modulates Olfactory Memory Consolidation in Humans
Authors: Arshamian Artin , Iravani Behzad , Majid Asifa , Lundström Johan N. 
Published: October 2018

In mammals respiratory-locked hippocampal rhythms are implicated in the scaffolding and transfer of information between sensory and memory networks. These oscillations are entrained by nasal respiration and driven by the olfactory bulb. They then travel to the piriform cortex where they propagate further downstream to the hippocampus and modulate neural processes critical for memory formation. In humans, bypassing nasal airflow through mouth-breathing abolishes these rhythms and impacts encoding as well as recognition processes thereby reducing memory performance. It has been hypothesized that similar behavior should be observed for the consolidation process, the stage between encoding and recognition, were memory is reactivated and strengthened. However, direct evidence for such an effect is lacking in human and nonhuman animals. Here we tested this hypothesis by examining the effect of respiration on consolidation of episodic odor memory. In two separate sessions, female and male participants encoded odors followed by a 1 h awake resting consolidation phase where they either breathed solely through their nose or mouth. Immediately after the consolidation phase, memory for odors was tested. Recognition memory significantly increased during nasal respiration compared with mouth respiration during consolidation. These results provide the first evidence that respiration directly impacts consolidation of episodic events, and lends further support to the notion that core cognitive functions are modulated by the respiratory cycle.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTMemories pass through three main stages in their development: encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. Growing evidence from animal and human studies suggests that respiration plays an important role in the behavioral and neural mechanisms associated with encoding and recognition. Specifically nasal, but not mouth, respiration entrains neural oscillations that enhance encoding and recognition processes. We demonstrate that respiration also affects the consolidation stage. Breathing through the nose compared with the mouth during consolidation enhances recognition memory. This demonstrates, first, that nasal respiration is important during the critical period were memories are reactivated and strengthened. Second, it suggests that the neural mechanisms responsible may emerge from nasal respiration.

Published: October 2018

AbstractThe integration of Islamic values in the learning process at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung has become the hallmark of the campus. The Islamic values integrated into the learning process by providing the verses from the Quran for the concepts studied. The aim of this study is to analyse the ability of students used to live in an Islamic boarding school (pesantren) and those who haven’t yet live in an Islamic boarding school in identifying the verses of al-Quran related to some concept of physics. The research was conducted through observation in classrooms and analysis of students’ assignment on identifying. The results showed that generally students have a decent ability in identifying Qur'anic verses related to the concept of physics. The students' ability appeared not to be influenced by the pesantren educational background. However, largely students are not able to interpret the verses of the Qur'an related to the physics concept in depth. AbstrakIntegrasi nilai-nilai Islam dalam proses pembelajaran di UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung telah menjadi ciri khas kampus.

Kemampuan mahasiswa tersebut tidak dipengaruhi oleh latar belakang pendidikan di pesantren. Namun, sebagian besar mahasiswa tidak mampu menafsirkan ayat-ayat Al Qur'an yang terkait dengan konsep fisika secara mendalam.
Production of Gender: A Study on Performativity in Female-To-Male Transsexuals
Authors: Priya Tanu , Panniko Dhishna 
Published: October 2018

Gender identity is critical to every individual; it is self-defined and yet affected by culture and society at large. Gender identities are formed through public and private spaces. Of the two traditions of thinking (essentialist and constructionist) about sex and gender, constructionist formulations are based on performance theory. It believes that sex and gender are viewed as not residing in the individual but are found in “those interactions that are socially constructed as gendered as opposed to essentialist tradition. Within performative theory, gender is a process rather than something naturally possessed. This study explores the process of formation of gender or social role in female-to-male (FTM) transsexual. It will do so by exploring the factors that add to the formation of a gender role as seen through sartorial style, mannerisms, body language, and other aspects that influence one’s presentation of self. It includes the process of construction of FTM transsexual’s corporeality through performative attributes in order to approximate masculinity and come in accord with the social role of a man. The themes that are discussed in the analysis emerged after a careful reading of FTM autobiographical narratives. The instances are extracted from FTM autobiographical narratives; Becoming a Visible Man, The Testosterone Files, Both Sides now and the publication of these narratives range from 2005-2006.
EDWARD HITCHCOCK, RODERICK MURCHISON, AND REJECTION OF THE ALPINE GLACIAL THEORY (1840–1845)
Authors: MARCHÉ JORDAN D. 
Published: October 2018

Massachusetts geologist Edward Hitchcock was among the first of his American colleagues to investigate the glacial theory of Swiss geologist Louis Agassiz. After studying a copy of Agassiz's Études sur les Glaciers 1840, Hitchcock displayed an initial enthusiasm regarding its explanatory powers in the published version of his presidential address before the newly-founded Association of American Geologists, and in his concurrently-published Final Report on the Geology of Massachusetts 1841. But that same year, Hitchcock also undertook a 400-mile journey to the White Mountains of New Hampshire, to test the possible validity of a hypothetico-deductive argument that he had formulated, about whether Alpinestyle glaciers had once descended from their summits. From the lack of supporting field evidence, Hitchcock abruptly retreated into a non-committal stance that merely argued for some combination of ice-and-water that he labeled “glacio-aqueous action.”
In the following year, Hitchcock engaged in a brief controversy with British geologist Roderick Murchison, in which the two men accused each other of mis-representing his support for the glacial theory. In reality, both had ended up on exactly the same side of the debate, having independently reached identical conclusions concerning rejection of the Alpine glacial theory. Hitchcock's stance appears to have influenced at least a few of his American colleagues to adopt this line of reasoning. But neither Hitchcock, nor Murchison, was able to extrapolate from the notion of Alpine to continental glaciation, as Agassiz had daringly conjectured, with the result that acceptance of the glacial theory was delayed for the next two decades or more. Ironically, neither man seemed to have realized that they had reached a virtual consensus on this question.

Authors: Pradhan Prita , Dey Biswajit , Srinivas Bheemanathi Hanuman , Jacob Sajini Elizabeth , Rathakrishnan Roopesh Kumar Vadivel 
Published: October 2018

Background: Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma is a rare tumour of children and young adults, particularly for those with features of anaplasia.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study comprises five cases of anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas diagnosed over a period of 4 years in a tertiary care institute. A detailed clinicopathological and immunohistochemical profile of the tumours were noted from the hospital database.
Results: Five cases of anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas were evaluated for their clinicoradiological, histomorphological as well as immunohistochemical findings, which included 3 females and 2 males, with age range of 11-40 years and a mean age at presentation of 22 years. Histologically a solid cystic biphasic tumour with moderate to high cellularity, spindled pleomorphic astrocytes, hyperchromatic nuclei showing moderate to marked atypia, intranuclear inclusions, ≥5 mitoses per 10 high power fields, with evidence of necrosis and atypical mitoses was noted. One of the cases showed transformation into glioblastoma with evidence of spinal metastasis on follow-up. The tumours expressed both glial as well as neuronal markers with expression of CD34 with increased Ki 67 ranging between 5-20%.
Conclusion: It was concluded that PXA, a low-grade glioneuronal tumour, can show odd site presentation, marked pleomorphism, increased mitosis, atypical mitoses and increased Ki 67 when associated with features of anaplasia. An appropriate panel of immunohistochemical markers in conjunction with a detailed evaluation of histomorphological features and clinicoradiological information are useful for its diagnosis.

Background: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a very prominent complaint and disabling symptom in cancer patients probably influenced by endogenous cytokines. But, the published data on this subject are limited. We explored the relationship of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) with fatigue in patients with AML. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 45 patients (25 men, 20 women) with newly diagnosed AML. We examined fatigue in these patients with validated questionnaire. Simultaneously, blood samples were obtained for quantitative measurement of IL-6 and TNF-α. Results: Our results showed a positive correlation between fatigue and circulating levels of IL-6 (P=0.004, R=0.416). Conclusion: Many patients with AML experienced severe fatigue before the onset of treatment, which is not related to their hemoglobin (Hb) levels. Cytokine levels may be beneficial markers in resistance to fatigue, but further studies are needed before considering targeted therapies as a treatment for CRF.

Published: October 2018

Amaç: Duodenumun abdomenin iyi korunmuş bir alanında olmasına rağmen, duodenum arkasında lomber vertebralar bulunmasından ve iyi fikse olmasından dolayı özellikle künt travmalarda yaralanabilmektedir. Hiperbarik Oksijen (HBO2) tedavisi, sekonder hasarın en önemli nedenlerinden biri olan iskemiyi azaltır. Travmadan sonra seri olarak verilen HBO2 tedavileri klinik, histopatolojik ve biyokimyasal fayda sağlar. Timokinon’un (TQ) topikal veya sistemik kullanımda yara iyileşmesini hızlandırdığı gösterilmiştir. Çalışmamızda deneysel oluşturulmuş Grade 1-2 künt duodenal travmalarda HBO2 ve oral TQ tedavisinin yararlı olabileceği yönünde sonuçlar elde edilmiştir.Gereç ve Yöntem: 32 adet Wistar Albino cinsi rat rastgele 4 gruba ayıldı. Birinci grup dışındaki ratlara cerrahi işlem uygulanmıştır. İlk grup sham olarak seçilirken 2. grup kontrol, 3. grup HBO2 tedavisi, 4. grup ise HBO2+TQ tedavisi almıştır. Sonuçlar duodenum ve serumda histopatolojik ve biyokimyasal olarak incelenmiştir.Bulgular: Histopatolojik bulgularda HBO2 tedavisi iyileşmeyi hızlandırırken tedaviye eklenen TQ tedavisi iyileşmedeki başarıyı artırmıştır. Duodenum dokusunda ve serumda çalışılan parametreler histopatolojik değişikliklere kısmen paralel olsa bile biyokimyasal değerler genel olarak istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır.Sonuç: Bu çalışmada duodenumun 2. kısmına künt hasar taklit edilmiş ve HBO2 ve TQ tedavisinin Grade 1-2 hasarlarda diğer gruplara göre iyileşme sağladığı gösterilmiştir. Grade 1 ve 2 duodenal hasarlarda, konservatif tedavinin yanında belirlenecek bir HBO2 programı ve bu programa TQ eklenerek tedavide başarılı yanıtlar alınabileceğini düşünüyoruz.
Levels of Serum M30 and M65 Proteins as Biomarkers of Apoptosis in Children Exposed to Passive Smoking
Authors: SHERMATOV Kabil , KAZANASMAZ Halil , GUZEL Bulent , CEBİ Nazime 
Published: October 2018

Background: DNA damage associated with passive
smoking has been shown in children. Severe DNA damage can change the apoptosis
process of the cell. M30 and M65
biomarkers are markers showing the apoptosis process and can be quantitatively
measured. We aimed to determine M30 and M65 levels as apoptosis biomarkers in
children exposed to passive smoking.

Methods: A total of 79 children were included
in the study. Urine cotinine level was measured with the chemiluminescence
method and the levels of apoptosis biomarkers M30 and M65 were measured in
peripheral venous blood with PEVIVA/ALEXIS ELISA kits.

Results: The mean serum M30 level of the group
exposed to smoking was found to be significantly low compared to that of the
control group (p=0.01). The serum M65 value was not significant in either group
(p=0.1). No correlation was determined between the mean cotinine level and M30
(r=0.25, p=0.02) or M65 (r=0.16, p=0.15).

Conclusion: The results of this study showed that
the apoptosis biomarker M30 levels of the children exposed to passive smoking
were low compared to those of the control group which can be interpreted as
apoptosis inhibition in exposure to cigarette smoke. Further clinical studies
are needed.
