Canine and feline blood transfusions
Authors: Webb Gemma 
Published: April 2019

Despite the various blood products for dogs made available by Pet Blood Bank UK, there is currently no system available for cats in the UK. It is crucial that veterinary nurses and surgeons know how to collect blood in emergency situations and how to administer blood and blood products safely. This article focuses on the importance of blood typing and cross matching to try and minimise potential reactions. It also highlights the criteria for appropriate canine and feline donors and how to collect blood safely.
Which skin preparation technique is most effective to minimise bacterial contamination?
Authors: Reynolds Helen , Nichols Abigail 
Published: April 2019

Background: The risk of surgical site infections (SSI) can be addressed by removing organic matter which contains transient and resident flora from the patient's skin prior to surgical incision. Using correct techniques when applying skin preparation solution can significantly reduce bacterial load. Historically the circular technique has been used within veterinary practice for skin preparation prior to surgery; however there has been a recent promotion within the veterinary industry using the back-and-forth technique which has historically been used in human medicine. Aim: The move towards evidence-based medicine suggested testing both skin preparation techniques to determine if either technique was more effective than the other at reducing bacterial load. Method: Five felines undergoing flank ovariohysterectomy surgery were randomly selected for each skin preparation technique with a total sample size of ten felines. Samples of bacterial load were taken before and after the skin was prepared using each technique and cultured in sealed agar plates at a temperature of 38.5°C for 48 hours. Bacterial colonies were then counted and compared pre and post skin preparation. Statistical analysis was performed using ‘Minitab’. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between either skin preparation technique at reducing the number of colony forming units (Mann-Whitney U test: W=27.0, N=5, p=1.000). Conclusion: The limited sample size indicated that either technique was as beneficial as the other at preparing the skin for surgery, giving the veterinary nurse confidence in choosing either technique for skin preparation for flank ovariohysterectomy.

OBJECTIVES:
Fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) is suggested as a potential treatment for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We aimed to study the effect of allogenic and autologous FMT on IBS symptoms, visceral sensitivity, and compositional changes in fecal and mucosa-adherent microbiota.

METHODS:
Seventeen patients with IBS were randomized either to receive fecal material from a healthy donor (allogenic) or to receive their own fecal material (autologous). The fecal material was administered into the cecum by whole colonoscopy after bowel cleansing.

RESULTS:
No significant differences were found between the allogenic and the autologous FMT regarding symptom scores. However, symptom scores of patients receiving allogenic fecal material significantly decreased after FMT compared with baseline (P = 0.02), which was not the case in the autologous group (P = 0.16). Visceral sensitivity was not affected except for a small beneficial effect on urge scores in the autologous group (P < 0.05). While both fecal and mucosa-adherent microbiota of some patients shifted to their respective donor's fecal microbiota, some patients showed no relevant microbial changes after allogenic FMT. Large compositional shifts in fecal and mucosa-adherent microbiota also occurred in the autologous group.

CONCLUSIONS:
This study showed that a single FMT by colonoscopy may have beneficial effects in IBS; however, the allogenic fecal material was not superior to the autologous fecal material. This suggests that bowel cleansing prior to the colonoscopy and/or processing of the fecal material as part of the FMT routine contribute to symptoms and gut microbiota composition changes in IBS.

Abstract
Davies, TB, Halaki, M, Orr, R, Helms, ER, and Hackett, DA. Changes in bench press velocity and power after 8 weeks of high-load cluster- or traditional-set structures. J Strength Cond Res 34(10): 2734–2742, 2020—This study investigated the effects of high-load cluster- vs. traditional-set structures using the bench press on velocity and power. Twenty-one resistance-trained individuals (male = 12, female = 9) performed a 3-week familiarization block followed by randomization into 1 of 2 upper- and lower-body split training routines performed for 8 weeks. The bench press was the only exercise manipulated with subjects using either cluster-set (CLUS, n = 11) or traditional-set (TRAD, n = 10) structures during training sessions. Subjects performed 4 sets of 5 repetitions at 85% 1 repetition maximum (1RM) with CLUS having a 30-second inter-repetition, and 3-minute interset rest while TRAD had a 5-minute interset rest. A load-velocity profile of relative loads derived from a 1RM test was used to assess velocity and power (absolute and relative to body mass) on the bench press. Significant improvements over time were found across various loads ranging from 45 to 75% 1RM for absolute and relative peak power (p = 0.006–0.041), and mean power (p = 0.001–0.032). Significant decreases over time were found at 55% 1RM and 65% 1RM for peak velocity (p = 0.027 and p = 0.012, respectively) and mean velocity (p = 0.047 and p = 0.022, respectively). There were no significant group or group by time interactions found for all outcomes. Within the context of high-load resistance training, set structure seems to be of less importance for changes in bench press velocity and power provided there is an intention to lift with maximal concentric velocity.
What Happened to Novice EFL Teachers Professional Learning in Pesantren Based Billingual Program? Evidence from an Islamic Boarding School in East Lombok Indonesia

Published: April 2019

ABSTRACTThis study investigated the practice of professional learning as experienced by novice English Foreign Language (EFL) Teachers especially those teaching at Islamic Boarding Schools or Pesantren which ran English and Arabic language program. Case study was employed by involving English Teachers and a School headmaster. This study revealed EFL teachers found it challenging to manage classroom. This is partly caused by the class size and their limited experiences and authority to manage class. They also suffered from intimidating lesson plans design. Moreover, they found it daunting to encourage students to learning English, resulting in teachers' stress. Further, barriers of novice EFL teachers' professional learning were associasted with their attitude toward continous learning needs and limited programs to improve teachers' competency. It also revealed that this pesantren and the school where this study was carried out have yet to set TPD programs for its teachers. In fact, novice EFL teachers were unlikely to get necessary supports from school and senior teachers despite the presence of informal supervision from senior teachers. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini mengkaji praktik pembelajaran profesional guru Bahasa Inggris pemula, khususnya yang mengajar di Pesantren yang menerapkan program bahasa Inggris dan Arab. Penelitian dengan desain studi kasus ini melibatkan Guru Bahasa Inggris dan kepala sekolah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa guru-guru bahasa Inggris tersebut menghadapi tantangan untuk mengelola kelas. Hal ini disebabkan oleh besarnya jumlah siswa di dalam satu kelas serta minimnya pengalaman dan wewenang mereka mengelola kelas. Mereka juga merasa terbebani oleh penyusunan rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran. Mereka juga merasa kesulitan untuk memotivasi siswa belajar bahasa Inggris. Semua hal tersebut membuat guru-guru bahasa Inggris tersebut merasa tertekan. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang menghambat pembelajaran guru bahasa Inggris pemula tersebut adalah sikap guru terhadap kebutuhan belajar secara berkesinambungan dan terbatasnya program peningkatan kompetensi guru. Pesantren dan sekolah tempat penelitian ini dilakukan ternyata menetapkan program pengembangan profesi untuk guru-gurunya. Selain itu, para guru bahasa Inggris pemula tersebut tidak juga mendapatkan dukungan yang diperlukan dari sekolah dan guru senior meskipun telah ada supervisi informal dari guru senior.

Authors: Silalahi Rentauli Mariah 
Published: April 2019

ABSTRACTCritical reading was not a new term for university students but the levels to how students understand it and how it could help them develop in many aspects had seldom been studied. Therefore, this study tried to explore the levels of students’ understanding towards the meaning of critical reading, what possible problems could be present in the implementation, what activities could be carried out for practicing critical reading, and what benefits critical reading could bring to students’ lives. This study; conducted by survey questionnaire, was focused on IT students who had just finished a Reading course and were indicated not in favor of reading. From data analysis, it was found that the IT students did not know well that critical reading required interpreting and criticizing, did not realize potential problems in implementing critical reading and was not aware that critical reading practices could help improve their academic achievements. ABSTRAKMembaca kritis bukanlah sebuah istilah baru untuk mahasiswa tetapi masih jarang dilakukan penelitian terhadap tingkat pemahaman mahasiswa terhadap makna dari membaca kritis dan bagaimana dengan membaca kritis dapat membantu mahasiswa dalam banyak hal. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat tingkat pemahaman mahasiswa terhadap makna membaca kritis, terhadap masalah yang mungkin muncul ketika melakukan kegiatan membaca kritis, terhadap contoh kegiatan yang dapat mengembangkan kegiatan membaca kritis, dan terhadap manfaat dari membaca kritis terhadap kehidupan mahasiswa. Kajian ini, yang dilakukan dengan metode survei kuesioner, difokuskan kepada mahasiswa IT yang baru saja menyelesaikan mata kuliah ‘Membaca’ dan yang diidentifikasi kurang berminat dalam membaca. Dari kajian yang dilakukan ditemukan bahwa mahasiswa IT tersebut tidak mengetahui dengan baik bahwa membaca kritis membutuhkan kemampuan untuk menafsirkan dan mengkritik, tidak menyadari berbagai macam tantangan yang muncul dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan membaca kritis, dan tidak menyadari bahwa dengan membaca kritis mahasiswa dapat meningkatkan prestasi akademik mereka.

Authors: Husni Rahiem Maila Dinia 
Published: April 2019

AbstractChildren used their internal mechanisms, including faith, in coping and bouncing back after a disaster. In this paper, researcher examines the role of faith in building more resilient communities, and also how Islamic education at school can be used to help teach children to be better prepared for a disaster. The research suggests that Islamic education could be used to increase students hope after a disaster, to seek prayer as a source of strength and peace, to see the essential role of Muslim clergies in disaster recovery, and to see how some religious practices need to be understood in better ways. Qualitative narrative research was used as the method of inquiry with the primary source of data coming from interviews. There are 27 child survivors being interviewed. All those interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed, then the transcripts were analysed to find any emerging themes.AbstrakBeberapa anak menggunakan mekanisme internal mereka, termasuk iman, dalam mengatasi dan bangkit kembali setelah bencana.

Insulin-like growth factor is one of the regulators of fetal growth in the intrauterine period, and is responsible for its further development.
Purpose. To study postnatal growth in relation to insulin-like growth factor-1 and somatotropic hormonelevels in infants born to obese mothers.
Materials and methods. The prospective study included 18 children (16 full-term and 2 premature infants of gestational age 31-35 weeks) born to mothers who were obese before pregnancy (group 1) and 18 children (17 full-term and 1 premature baby of gestational age 34 weeks) from mothers with normal body mass index before pregnancy. Weight and height were estimated at birth, at 3 and 6 months. Serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 and somatotropic hormonewere determined by ELISA at birth in umbilical cord blood at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Results. During the neonatal period, at 3 and 6 months, height and weight did not have significant differences in both groups. At the age of 1 year in group 1 weight and height were higher than in group 2 (p < 0.05). Indicators of insulin-like growth factor-1 (128.71 ± 74.29 and 21.33 ± 15.21 ) and somatotropic hormone (4.3 ± 1.5 and 1.84 ± 0.36) was also higher in children of group 1 aged 1 year.
Conclusion. Changes in the somatotropic hormone – insulin-like growth factor-1 axis in children born to obese mothers may form the basis of metabolic syndrome in the future.

Aimof this study was to evaluate the impact of direct stenting (DS) strategy on the results of treatment of female patients with STelevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs).Materials and methods. Among 1297 patients with STEMI admitted to the coronary care unit and subjected to PCIs from 2006 to 2015 there were 330 women (25.4 %). Data from 161 women (48.8 %) who underwent DS were compared with those from 169 women who underwent indirect stenting (IS). Among patients of IS group in 148 (87.6 %) stenting was performed after predilation, in 7 (4.1 %) after manual thrombus aspiration, and in 14 (8.3 %) after combination of predilation and thrombus aspiration.Results. The rate of angiographic success was higher in the DS group (97.5 vs. 87.6 %, р<0.001). Rates of deaths (4.3 vs. 11.8 %; p=0.013), major adverse cardiac events (MACE)(4.3 vs. 13 %; p=0.005), and no-reflow (1.9 % vs. 11.2 %; p=0.013) were significantly lower in the DS group. There were no differences in rates of recurrent myocardial infarction and access site complications. Following propensity score matching, each group contained 78 patients. Rates of MACE (2.6 vs. 14.1 %; p=0.009) and deaths (2.6 vs. 12.8 %; p=0.016) remained significantly lower in the DS group. After multivariate adjustment, DS strategy was independently associated with lower mortality (odds ratio [OR] 0.29; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.09–0.97; p=0.04) and MACE (OR=0.28; 95 %CI 0.09–0.087; p=0.03).Conclusion. DS strategy in STEMI female patients turned out to be safe and effective technique.

Published: April 2019

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the most common factors that lead to occupational injuries among hospital staff. Considering the key role of hospital staffs in providing health services to patients, this study was conducted to assess risk factors that are effective on low back pain and the use of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model to predict it. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 90 nurses of the Isfahan hospitals in 2018. First, the risk factors that affect pain in the lumbar region was assessed, then a model with the precision of 0.91% to predict low back pain was developed using the ANFIS by the MATLAB2016a software. Results: First, linear regression model showed four risk factors repetitive movements, long-standing, bending of the back, and carrying heavy objects were the most significant ones compared to other risk factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders. After a study of these risk factors in the ANFIS, various tests were conducted and the best model with a confidence level of 91% was selected as the model. Conclusion: The ANFIS can be used as an appropriate tool to predict lower back pain.

Assessing The Knowledge and Attitudes of Group of Practicing Dentists in Saudi Arabia with Regards to Antifungal Prescriptions for The Treatment of Oral Candidiasis: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Authors: Mansy Wael , Alwakeel Abdulaziz , Alwakeel Abdullah , Alomran Waad 
Published: April 2019

Introduction: Candida albicans is the most prevalent causative species of oral fungal infections. This study was designed to assess the knowledge of dentists who are practicing in a dental university hospital regarding antifungal prescriptions for the treatment of oral candidiasis in a Riyadh city, SA.
Material and Methods: A self-administered questionnaire were distributed among dentists of different specialties to assess their knowledge and attitudes toward antifungal prescription for the treatment of oral candidiasis. Statistical analysis was carried out to describe the properties of the sample in terms of frequencies and distribution while chi square test was used to compare the results between groups at level of significant P value ≤0.05 using the Statistical Packages for the Social Science (SPSS) Program.
Results: A total of 130 completed questionnaires were received. Males contributed 55.4% compared to 44.6% female counterparts. Topical antifungals were preferred by 85.4% of the participants. Topical Nystatin and oral fluconazole were the chosen antifungal agents by the dentists for the treatment of local (55.4%) and systemic (58.4%) fungal infections respectively. The challenge that was faced by most respondents (46%) is the lack of knowledge about the recommended dosage to be prescribed. Also, a significant difference in the knowledge was detected between dentists of different specialties.
Conclusion: Most dentists will start with topical antifungal agents, nystatin suspension is the first medication of choice follow by miconazole and for the systemic antifungal agents oral fluconazole is first medication of choice. As for the adjunctive therapy most participants prescribed 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash.
