shiny-pred: a server for the prediction of protein disordered regions
Authors: Oberti Mauricio , Vaisman Iosif 
Published: February 2019

Intrinsically disordered proteins or intrinsically disordered regions (IDR) are segments within a protein chain lacking a stable three-dimensional structure under normal physiological conditions. Accurate prediction of IDRs is challenging due to their genome wide occurrence and low ratio of disordered residues, making them a difficult target for traditional classification techniques. Existing computational methods mostly rely on sequence profiles to improve accuracy, which is time consuming and computationally expensive. The shiny-pred application is an ab initio sequence-only disorder predictor implemented in R/Shiny language. In order to make predictions, it uses convolutional neural network models, trained using PDB sequence data. It can be installed on any operating system on which R can be installed and run locally. A public version of the web application can be accessed at https://gmu-binf.shinyapps.io/shiny-pred

Published: February 2019

Background: Given the considerable role played by Salmonella in the incidence of food poisoning around the world, surveillance of this infection is prioritized by both food producers and health care authorities. Data remains insufficient concerning the prevalence of Salmonella in poultry systems in Ecuador and in Latin America in general. Methods: In this study we evaluated the prevalence and diversity of Salmonella serovars in samples taken from 21 layer farms and backyard layers in central Ecuador during August-November 2017. Salmonella was isolated following standardized methods (ISO 6579) and the serovar determination was carried out by PCR. Results: A significant presence of Salmonella was detected, with an incidence of 76% (95% confidence interval (CI): 58–94) in farms, 33% (95%CI: 13–53) in pooled cloacal swabs from layer hens, 33% (95%CI: 12–55) on feed samples, and 10% (95%CI: 0–22) in backyard layer feces from traditional local markets. The dominant serovars detected were S. Infantis and S. Typhimurium. Conclusions: This study forms a basis for further surveillance of Salmonella serovars in layer farms in central Ecuador.

Facilitating mutually-beneficial educational activities between researchers and school students is an increasingly popular way for research institutes to engage with communities who host health research, but these activities have rarely been formally examined as a community or public engagement approach in health research. The KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme (KWTRP) in Kilifi, Kenya, through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving students, teachers, researchers and education stakeholders, has incorporated ‘school engagement’ as a key component into their community engagement (CE) strategy. School engagement activities at KWTRP aim at strengthening the ethical practice of the institution in two ways: through promoting an interest in science and research among school students as a form of benefit-sharing; and through creating forums for dialogue aimed at promoting mutual understanding between researchers and school students. In this article, we provide a background of CE in Kilifi and describe the diverse ways in which health researchers have engaged with communities and schools in different parts of the world. We then describe the way in which the KWTRP school engagement programme (SEP) was developed and scaled-up. We conclude with a discussion about the challenges, benefits and lessons learnt from the SEP implementation and scale-up in Kilifi, which can inform the establishment of SEPs in other settings.
The effect of Muscle Energy Techniques versus cross (X) technique kinesio taping to treat chronic low back dysfunction
Authors: Elshinnawy Ahmed M , Elrazik Reda K Abd , Elatief Emad Eldin Mohamed Abd 
Published: February 2019

Background/Aims: Chronic low back dysfunction is a serious health problem affecting people at some time in their life; it impedes the mobility of the lumbar spine and adjacent joints leading to functional disabilities. Muscle Energy Techniques aim to normalise soft tissue structures, such as shortened or tight muscles, with no direct implication to the joint associated with these soft tissues. Kinesio taping supports damaged structures without restriction of mobility and at the same time may influence some of the mechanisms associated with muscle fatigue, such as blood flow and proprioception. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Muscle Energy Techniques and kinesio taping on pain level and spinal mobility in patients with chronic low back dysfunction. Methods: A total of 90 patients with chronic low back dysfunction were selected. All participants were randomly allocated into three groups; group A received cross (X) technique kinesio taping and conventional therapy, Group B received cross (X) technique kinesio taping, Muscle Energy Techniques and conventional therapy, Group C received Muscle Energy Techniques and conventional therapy. A visual analogue scale for pain severity and inclinometer for trunk range of motion were used to measure the results. Results: Results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the post-treatment measurements of the three groups. Conclusions: A combination between Muscle Energy Techniques and kinesio taping with conventional therapy appears to improve pain and trunk range of motion in patients with chronic low back dysfunction.

Published: February 2019

Background: Falls are common among stroke survivors but many are not taught how to get up again. A technique from an association called Action for Rehabilitation Following Neurological Injury addresses this problem. We investigated the feasibility and safety of teaching this technique to stroke survivors. Methods: Stroke survivors (mean 7.1 years post-stroke) with mild-to-moderate disability (mean modified Rankin Score 2.4), who could get up with assistance but not independently, received up to six sessions of training to independently get off the floor. The primary outcome was to independently get off the floor successfully; safety and feasibility were investigated by participant and trainer interviews, biomechanical and video analysis, and an expert panel review. Findings: Six of the ten participants managed to independently get off the floor and five of nine retained the skill two months post-training. One to six sessions (median three) were needed to master independently getting off the floor; one minor but no serious adverse events occurred. Expert reviewers indicated training involved an acceptable risk of falls and no concerns for knee and wrist positions. Conclusions: This feasibility study indicates that this technique may be useful. It was taught to and safely used by selected stroke survivors. Further assessment of independently getting off the floor has now been part of a pilot randomised controlled trial of Action for Rehabilitation Following Neurological Injury-based stroke rehabilitation.

Published: February 2019

Aims Adductor canal block (ACB) has emerged as an alternative to femoral nerve block (FNB) for analgesia after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The optimal duration of maintenance of the ACB is still questionable. The purpose of this study was to compare the analgesic benefits and physiotherapy (PT) outcomes of single-shot ACB to two different regimens of infusion of the continuous ACB, 24-hour and 48-hour infusion. Patients and Methods This was a prospective, randomized, unblinded study. A total of 159 American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I to III patients scheduled for primary TKA were randomized to one of three study groups. Three patients did not complete the study, leaving 156 patients for final analysis. Group A (n = 53) was the single-shot group (16 female patients and 37 male patients with a mean age of 63.9 years (sd 9.6)), group B (n = 51) was the 24-hour infusion group (22 female patients and 29 male patients with a mean age of 66.5 years (sd 8.5)), and group C (n = 52) was the 48-hour infusion group (18 female patients and 34 male patients with a mean age of 62.2 years (sd 8.7)). Pain scores, opioid requirements, PT test results, and patient-reported outcome instruments were compared between the three groups. Results The proportion of patients reporting severe pain, defined as a pain score of between 7 and 10, on postoperative day number 2 (POD 2) were 21% for the single-shot group, 14% for the 24-hour block group, and 12% for the 48-hour block group (p = 0.05). Cumulative opioid requirements after 48 hours were similar between the groups. Functional outcomes were similar in all three groups in POD 1 and POD 2. Conclusion There was no clear benefit of the 24-hour or 48-hour infusions over the single-shot ACB for the primary endpoint of the study. Otherwise, there were marginal benefits for keeping the indwelling catheter for 48 hours in terms of reducing the number of patients with moderate pain and improving the quality of pain management. However, all three groups had similar opioid usage, length of hospital stay, and functional outcomes. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings.

Aims The purpose of this study was to examine whether leg-length discrepancy (LLD) following unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects the incidence of contralateral head collapse and subsequent THA in patients with bilateral osteonecrosis, and to determine factors associated with subsequent collapse. Patients and Methods We identified 121 patients with bilateral non-traumatic osteonecrosis who underwent THA between 2003 and 2011 to treat a symptomatic hip, and who also exhibited medium-to-large lesions (necrotic area ≥ 30%) in an otherwise asymptomatic non-operated hip. Of the 121 patients, 71 were male (59%) and 50 were female (41%), with a mean age of 51 years (19 to 71) at the time of initial THA. All patients were followed for at least five years and were assessed according to the presence of a LLD (non-LLD vs LLD group), as well as the LLD type (longer non-operated side vs shorter non-operated side group). Results Overall, 68 hips (56%) became painful and progressed to collapse at a mean of 2.6 years (0.2 to 13.8), resulting in 59 THAs (49%). The five-year collapse-free survival rate for the non-LLD group was 59% (95% confidence interval (CI) 46.8 to 71.8) compared with 45% (95% CI 32.9 to 57.5) for the LLD group (p = 0.036), and 66% (95% CI 55.2 to 77.2) for the longer non-operated side group compared with 32% (95% CI 19.1 to 44.9) for the shorter non-operated side group (p < 0.001). Multivariate regression analyses found that large lesions had a higher risk of collapse than medium-size lesions (odds ratio (OR) 4.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.69 to 10.38; p = 0.002). Meanwhile, patients with a LLD < 3 mm (OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.52; p = 0.001) or a longer non-operated leg (OR 0.11, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.28; p < 0.001) after THA were less likely to experience a subsequent collapse. Conclusion We found that LLD may be a modifiable risk factor for femoral head collapse. Minimizing LLD and particularly avoiding a shorter non-operated limb after THA may lead to a lower risk of collapse of the asymptomatic hip in patients with bilateral non-traumatic osteonecrosis.

Kontribusi Arsip dalam Rekonstruksi Sejarah (Studi di Keresidenan Jepara dan Tegal Abad Ke-19)
Authors: Alamsyah Alamsyah 
Published: February 2019

Rekonstruksi sejarah membutuhkan arsip, utamanya arsip statis, yaitu arsip yang yang dihasilkan oleh pencipta arsip karena memiliki nilai guna kesejarahan. Arsip sebagai rekaman peristiwa atau kegiatan pada masa lalu sangat dibutuhkan dalam penulisan sejarah. Hal Ini sejalan dengan guna sejarah yang secara intrinsik yaitu sejarah sebagai cara mengetahui masa lampau. Tanpa arsip, maka peristiwa sejarah tidak dapat diungkap. Arsip dalam konteks ilmu sejarah dikategorikan sebagai sumber primer yaitu sumber yang diperoleh dari orang yang melihat langsung, mendengar langsung atau terlibat langsung. Arsip sebagai sumber primer, setelah dilakukan tahapan kritik, maka derajat kualitas sumber ini adalah sumber yang utama. Dalam pengungkapan sejarah perkebunan tebu di Keresidenan Jepara dan Keresidenan Tegal pada abad ke-19, kontribusi arsip tekstual sangat vital. Tanpa adanya arsip teksual yang dibuat oleh pemerintah kolonial, maka pengungkapan sejarah perkebunan di Jepara dan Tegal akan mengalami kesulitan. Arsip yang digunakan sebagai rujukan adalah arsip kolonial yang terdiri dari arsip laporan tahunan umum, laporan tahunan, arsip pemerintah umum, keputusan, laporan 3 bulanan, laporan kolonial, laporan dari departemen koloni, lembaran negara, arsip keuangan, arsip statistik perdagangan dan pelayaran, lembaran negara Hindia Belanda), dan yang lainnya. Melalui arsip yang tersedia tersebut dapat dilakukan eksplanasi berkaitan dengan eksistensi perkebunan tebu di Keresidenan Jepara dan Keresidenan Tegal pada abad ke-19 mulai dari jumlah lahan, tenaga kerja, upah buruh, jumlah produk, dan yang lain-lain.

Published: February 2019

Abstract Verb, is an important element to build a sentence in every language, including Indonesian and Japanese. When we make a complete sentence in Japanese, we use verb as a marker of activity or situation. Like every kind of verb in every language in this world, Japanese verb shows its uniqueness, if we see from the form, the function, or the meaning of it. Verb in Japanese passive voice is marked by –rareru or –reru (V-rareru or V-reru) conjugation that comes in the end of the verb. It stands as a bound morpheme and has a grammatical meaning. Key words: Japanese, verb, passive voice, conjugation
