Implementation in a Family Medicine Clinic of a Lifestyle Program Designed to Help Indigent, Obese Adult Patients Lose Weight
Authors: Harvey Anne T. , Lewis Douglas P. , Duggins Maurice L. 
Published: June 2019

Introduction. Efficacy of interventions in research settings maynot translate to usual-care settings. The impact of interventionsvaries depending upon factors, such as the proportion andcomposition of the population reached and engaged, as well asparticipation and implementation characteristics of providers.
Methods. A lifestyle intervention meant to achieve a 5%loss of body weight in six months was offered to obese, indigentadult patients in a Family Medicine residency outpatientclinic. Implementation variables were assessed, includingdetermination of individual patient penetrationand participation rate, demographic representativeness,completion rate, outcomes, and differential impact, as wellas setting participation rates and implementation fidelity.
Results. From a population of 743 potentially eligible patients,356 were invited to participate (48% penetration) and158 were enrolled (44% participation). Those enrolled wereheavier (BMI of 42.6 vs 39.0), younger (43.5 vs 47.0 years)and more likely female (87% vs 69%) than those not enrolled.Individual completion rate was 81%; overall weightloss was negligible. Setting participation was broad, butfidelity to background standard of care was only 50%.
Conclusions. Providers were eager for a tool to help their obese,indigent patients lose weight, but the intervention proved ineffectiveand the usual care of enrolled patients was not stronglysupportive of their weight loss efforts. KS J Med 2016;9(4):77-82.

La responsabilidad social corporativa como punto de encuentro
Authors: Aguadero Fernández Francisco 
Published: June 2019

La Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) es una disciplina en construcción y como tal viene cargada de grandes aportes y también de interrogantes a resolver. El presente artículo invita a la reflexión sobre alguno de esos interrogantes, analiza el estado de la disciplina, así como el papel de la terminología y el lenguaje del entorno de la RSC en el contexto de las organizaciones. Se propone el uso de una terminología normalizada en el interior de la empresa o institución como herramienta de gestión en las relaciones con los grupos de interés y con la sociedad, tendente a un mejorentendimiento y un funcionamiento más eficiente de cada empresa o institución concreta, así como para la sostenibilidad empresarial e institucional. La gestión del lenguaje es una parte importante para el óptimo aprovechamiento de los activos intangibles y del capital intelectual de toda organización. La empresa debe evolucionar no hacia un cambio en la perspectiva y en el modelo de gestión, sino hacia un nuevo rol que pueda resultarle beneficioso para sí, para los grupos de interés y para la sociedad en general, debe tender a ser una “empresa ciudadana”. Pero está claro que tanto para la empresa como para las instituciones, la RSC es una tarea que hay que ir haciendo. No hay ni modelos estandarizados ni etapas o estadios puros. Lo importante es que cada una encuentre su camino, lo vaya haciendo y rinda cuentas a los grupos de interés y a la sociedad por medio de una comunicación transparente y responsable.
El poder blando de la marca-país: del marketing a la diplomacia pública
Authors: Saavedra Torres José Luis 
Published: June 2019

El artículo tiene como propósito analizar la aplicación de la Marca-País como herramienta de diplomacia pública en la estrategia de política internacional de los Estados. En este sentido se hace una revisión bibliográfica sobre tres cuerpos teóricos a vincular: el concepto de Marca-País, la teoría dualista de Kagan (2003) y de Nye (2004), y las concepciones de Estado posmoderno de Noya (2005) y Van Ham (2008). Se concluye la Marca-País tiene el poder de transmitir valores que legitimados en un contexto internacional pueden influir en las decisiones de Estados nacionales. Esta regulación de conductas es un proceso explicable a través de los postulados constructivistas, evidenciándose un vacío teórico para explicar estos mecanismos en contextos de índole regional, continental y/o mundial.
Influencia del entrenamiento interválico de alta intensidad en la capacidad aeróbica de personas con lesión medular
Authors: Rodríguez Barnada Joan , Alonso Guntín Sara , Guerrero Sànchez Lídia , Redón Catellví Xavier 
Published: June 2019

La principal causa de muerte en la fase crónica de personas con lesión medular son las enfermedades cardiovasculares. El entrenamiento de resistencia mejora esta capacidad. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el efecto de un entrenamiento interválico de alta intensidad (HIIT) en 7 participantes con lesión medular (LM), Asia A (escala de afectación neurológica) y en fase crónica (más de 6 meses tras la lesión). Sabiendo que el entrenamiento continuo mejora la capacidad aeróbica, comprobaremos si el interválico también lo hace. La intervención fue precedida de un test donde se registró: peso, perímetro de cintura, frecuencia cardíaca en reposo (FCR) y cuestionario DASH. De manera activa en un ergómetro modelo Skierg Concept 2 (Vermont, 2009) se registró potencia máxima absoluta, potencia máxima relativa, y potencia media absoluta y relativa, en 1 minuto y 6 minutos. El programa se realizó durante cuatro semanas, a razón de tres sesiones por semana (lunes, miércoles y viernes). Al finalizar las doce sesiones se realizó un post-test donde se observó la mejora en potencia máxima absoluta y relativa, así como en las pruebas de 1 y 6 minutos. Los datos fueron analizados con SPSS utilizando una t-student para muestras relacionadas con una significación del 95% (p < 0.05). Los resultados nos invitan a seguir investigando sobre este tipo de entrenamiento en personas con lesión medular ya que pueden influir positivamente en su capacidad aeróbica, repercutiendo en su calidad de vida y disminuyendo el riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular.
Diferencias en los niveles de agilidad e IMC en los alumnos de centros rurales y no rurales en educación física
Authors: Pérez Muñoz Salvador , Domínguez Muñoz Rafael , Barrero Sanz Diana , Hernández Marín Jesús 
Published: June 2019

El presente articulo tiene por objetivo analizar los niveles de agilidad y el índice mde Masa Corporal en alumnos de Educación Primaria, en función del tipo de centro educativo rural o urbano, el sexo, la edad y el curso de estudio. La muestra está formada por 198 alumnos de educación primaria con una edad de 10.2 años (± .988). De ellos 105 son de centros rurales agrupados (CRA) y el resto son de centros públicos de ciudad. Se les paso el test de agilidad Modified Agility Test (MAT). La muestra presenta valores normales en la prueba de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, además, en la prueba de ANOVA muestra que existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p ≤ .05) en cuanto al tipo de centro y sexos de los sujetos, mientras que no hay diferencias en cuanto a la edad, el curso de estudios y el IMC. Los alumnos pertenecientes a los CRA obtienen peores resultados que los alumnos de centros en la ciudad. La agilidad no presenta un comportamiento uniforme en todas las franjas de edad ni por sexos, ni tampoco en función del tipo de centro. Los alumnos de los CRA presentan un valor inferior de agilidad y mayor IMC que los de ciudad. Por lo tanto, sería necesario aumentar los niveles de actividad física en los alumnos de CRA.

Alma and How She Got Her Name by J. Martinez-Neal
Authors: Brown Jill 
Published: June 2019

Martinez-Neal, Juana. Alma and How She Got Her Name. Candlewick Press, 2018.
Alma and How She Got Her Name is the perfect book for any child who questions the meaning behind his or her name. In Juana Martinez-Neal’s first picture book, she tells the beautiful story of a young girl who wonders why her name is so long. Alma Sofia Esperanza Jose Pura Candela slowly hears the special meaning behind each one of her names from her Dad and begins to see how well her name fits her. Alma learns about her ancestors and how they can be role models in her life and how their personalities are reflected in her.
Martinez-Neal has created stunning illustrations using graphite and coloured pencils that evoke a calming mood and complement the theme of family connection and intimacy. The author makes excellent use of descriptive, expressive language to tell this story. The words and pictures work together to emphasize the importance of family and finding a sense of belonging.
This story is a perfect way for parents to start a conversation with their children about their name and their ancestors. This book would also make a great resource in the classroom as it celebrates cultural diversity and it will send a powerful message to students with names that are often mispronounced or made fun of. Children will learn to feel proud about who they are and what their name means. Juana Martinez-Neal shares the story of the meaning behind her own name at the end of the book and invites the reader to do the same.

Curiosity: The Story of a Mars Rover by M. Motum
Authors: Pasterfield Thomas 
Published: June 2019

Motum, Markus. Curiosity: The Story of a Mars Rover. Candlewick Press, 2018.
Curiosity: The Story of a Mars Rover, written and illustrated by Markus Motum, would be a welcome addition to any classroom’s library. With exceptional pacing and flow, Motum takes us through the true story of one of science’s great achievements: successfully landing a rover on Mars.
Many young readers have an inherent interest in outer space and science fiction. In this book, Motum expounds the science of science fiction in detailing the story of how Curiosity ended up on Mars (where it still roves today) in a somewhat narrative form. It would be appropriate for all grade levels, though younger grade students would likely need experienced help in order to read it. The font size and colour vary making them readable to most audiences, and they serve the story well.
The story is told from the point of view of the rover itself, named Curiosity. It begins by introducing itself as if it were a sentient creature before it goes back to the beginning, in a very cosmic sense, to plant its story within the wider view of space exploration in general. Motum’s choice in this case allows the reader to gain greater perspective for Curiosity’s story. Curiosity itself is as developed as it needs to be for the purposes of the narrative; that is to say, Motum does not imbue the rover with emotion or opinions within the story. However, the emotions and opinions of the astronauts, scientists and engineers who are namelessly featured throughout the story are indeed explored, which gives a sense of urgency and peril as we travel alongside Curiosity on its adventure.
In addition to authoring this picture book, Motum also illustrates it in a mixed media style that is both alien and historic. The solid colours and painted portions evoke the artistic style of old postcards from days gone by, while simultaneously making the Martian landscape seem exotic and alien, as if Mars were a travel destination, welcoming travellers like Curiosity. Though beautiful, the illustrations do not add much information to the story of Curiosity; in some instances, they provide some spatial context like when Curiosity tries to land on Mars. The illustrations lend a hand to create atmosphere, both in the context of the story and for the reader. Some of the text is also placed in unconventional locations on the page, so the text and the illustrations work together to create meaning and story. One finds that the eye is drawn to specific parts of the image on each page, and it is masterfully done.
For these and many other reasons, Curiosity: The Story of a Mars Rover is a great example of modern children’s literature. It is suitable for a variety of ages, and it is worthwhile reading in many ways.

Penguinaut by M. Colleen
Authors: Metcalfe Erika 
Published: June 2019

Colleen, Marcie. Penguinaut. Scholastic, 2018.
In the book Penguinaut, Marcie Colleen uses the story of a hopeful penguin to convey a message about adversity to young children. It is a story about a small penguin named Orville who overcomes challenges in order to achieve his big dream of going to space.
Emma Yarlett’s illustrations are creative, entertaining, and fun. They help the reader understand just how small little Orville is in comparison to all of his other animal friends, reinforcing the idea that one should not be afraid of failure when achieving their dreams, despite any challenges they may face.
It is evident that Marcie Colleen decided to use the style of text, paired with the illustrations, to help add enthusiasm, detail, and voice. The words “big” and “bigger” are in large capital letters, and sound effects are bolded. Speech bubbles are used for dialogue instead of quotation marks. The sentence “He was all alone” is accompanied by an illustration of stars in the dark outer space. And a picture of a note given to Orville by his friends to show their support is written in handwriting, including a hand-drawn picture.
Penguinaut is a heart-warming book that offers lessons about adversity, resiliency, and friendship. Considering the length of the book, I believe there is room to explore these topics by including some additional detail to the story of Orville, the penguin. The messages this book conveys makes Penguinaut a good addition to an elementary school or public library.

Prevalence of Anemia and Its Associated Factors among Chronic Kidney Disease patients at University of Gondar Hospital, North West Ethiopia: a Hospital-based Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Adera Hailemariam , Hailu Workagegnehu , Adane Ayineshet , tadesse abilo 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background

chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem associated with progressive decline in kidney function and adverse cardiovascular outcome. Anemia in CKD has substantial adverse outcomes in CKD patients. There is paucity of published data on prevalence of anemia and its associated factors among CKD patients in Northwest Ethiopia.

Objective

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anemia and its associated factors among CKD patients at University of Gondar hospital, Northwest Ethiopia.

Methods

A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May1, to September 30, 2018. Consecutive sampling was used to recruit 251 study subjects. Data regarding patient’s socio-demographics, clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters were collected from patients’ interview and medical records. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Bi-variate and multi-variate logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of anemia in CKD patients. P<0.05 was used to declare association.

Results

The prevalence of anemia was high (64.5%), and tended to increase as eGFR declined. Hypertension (45%), chronic glomerulonephritis (24%) and diabetes (20%) were common causes of CKD. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed rural residence (AOR= 2.75, 95% CI: 1.34-5.65, p=0.006), BMI<18.5 kg/m2 (AOR=6.78, 95% CI: 1.32-34.73, p=0.022) and BMI of 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 (AOR=5.04, 95% CI: 1.26-20.10, p=0.022), and having hemodialysis history (AOR=3.59, 95% CI: 1.24-10.38, p=0.018) were predictors of anemia in CKD patients.

Conclusion

Prevalence of anemia in CKD patients was high (64.5%). Rural residence, non-obese body habitus and having hemodialysis history were found to be predictors of anemia in CKD patients. Periodic screening and intervention for anemia in CKD patients should be practiced to prevent its sequelae.
Red Cell Distribution Width Before Intravenous Thrombolysis in Prediction of 1-year Outcome and Mortality in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Authors: Ye Weiyi , Li Jia , LI Xiang , Yang Xuezhi , Weng Yiyun , Xiang Weiwei , Zhang Xu 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background: It is well known that red blood cell distribution width(RDW)is a parameter reflecting the heterogeneity of red blood cell volume，which recently may be associated with the development of cardiovascular events or mortality in patients after myocardial infarction .However, little is known about the association between RDW and stroke, especially regarding indisputable endpoints such as death. The purpose of the study was to explore the prognostic value of RDW and its effect on mortality among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).
Methods: We carried out retrospective analysis of acute anterior ischemic strokes cases treated with IVT between January 2016 and March 2018.The effect of RDW on poor outcome (modified Rankin score 3-6) and mortality in 1 year were assessed. Use multivariate logistic regression to explore the predictors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive capability of variables, furthermore, we applied Cox proportional-hazards models to analyze the impact of factors on survival.
Results: RDW (Multivariate OR 1.179;95%CI 0.900-1.545,p=0.232) was not associated with clinical outcome. Surviving patients have lower baseline RDW compared with patients who later died. Adding RDW to NIHSS could improve the prediction of the mortality of stroke clinical outcomes.
Conclusions: The finding of our study implied that higher RDW was a potential predictive factor of mortality in 1 year in patients with AIS undergoing IVT，but RDW might not be associated with worse survival function among stroke survivors.
A SURVEY OF VIRUSES IN BLACKBERRY NURSERY STOCK
Authors: Bray Mark M. , Clark John R. , Gergerich Rose 
Published: June 2019

In 2004, two surveys were conducted to assess the presence of four viruses in marketable blackberry nursery stock. The U.S. survey consisted of dormant nursery stock received from 11 nurseries in the southern, southeastern, midwestern, northeastern, and Pacific northwestern regions of the U.S. The second survey was focused only on Arkansas licensed propagating nurseries with samples collected during the growing season. Samples were tested using reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the presence of Blackberry yellow vein associated virus (BYVaV), Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV), Tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV), and Tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV). Of the total samples in the U.S. survey, there were 9% that tested positive for virus infection. Ninety percent of the positives were infected with BYVaV. Forty percent of these were detected in `Triple Crown', 40% in `Chickasaw', and 20% in `Apache'. The remaining 9% of the total positive virus samples were infected with TRSV and 100% of these were in `Triple Crown'. No viruses were found on any samples of `Chester Thornless'. In the Arkansas survey, 11% of the total samples tested positive for virus. Of these, 50% were infected with BYVaV.
The percent infected with BYVaV was distributed evenly among `Apache', `Chickasaw', and `Kiowa'. The other 50% of the infected samples were positive for TRSV (67% `Apache', 33% `Chickasaw'). There was one mixed infection of BYVaV and TRSV detected in `Apache'. These findings indicate that BYVaV is the most prevalent virus found in nursery stock and that the occurrence of BYVaV is not restricted to a single region or cultivar.
LYCOPENE AND TOTAL PHENOL CONTENT OF AUTUMN OLIVE (Elaegnus umbellata) SELECTIONS
Authors: Perkins-Veazie Penelope , Black Brent , Fordham Ingrid , Howard Luke 
Published: June 2019

Autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) is a small red berry that grows on shrubs from Maine to Alabama. This plant originated in China and was introduced to the U.S. in the late 1800s for erosion control. About 20% of the berry' fresh weight is in its single, large seed. The berries of Autumn olive are extremely rich in lycopene (30–50 mg/100 g). The berries are astringent, indicating that fruit may be high in phenolic compounds as well as carotenoids. There has been great interest in producing the plants in domesticated plantings, and in using the fruit as a natural source of lycopene.
This study was done to determine the relative contents of lycopene and phenolics among selections and varieties of autumn olive. The lycopene content of six selections and varieties was 30 to 55 mg·g–1. The lycopene content of berries did not increase after 4 days storage at 25 °C followed by 2 days at 5 °C. Autumn olives are high in soluble solids content (11% to 17%), and relatively high in acidity (1.7% to 5.5% citric acid). The astringent flavor of the berries may be due to the high total phenolic content (1700 mg·kg–1 chlorogenic acid equivalents). The berries were found to be high in flavanols and hydroxybenzoic acids (33 rutin and 31 gallic acid mg·kg–1 equivalents), while the seeds were high in hydroxycinnamic acids and extremely high in hydroxybenzoic acids (35 chlorogenic acid and 184 gallic acid mg·kg–1 equivalents).
