Quality of life after amputation in patients with advanced complex regional pain syndrome: a systematic review
Authors: Ayyaswamy Brijesh , Saeed Bilal , Anand Anoop , Chan Lai , Shetty Vishwanath 
Published: September 2019

The majority of included studies (8 out of 11, n = 54) supported the concept of considering amputation for selected, unresponsive cases of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) as a justifiable alternative to an unsuccessful multimodality nonoperative option. Of patients who underwent amputation, 66% experienced improvement in quality of life (QOL) and 37% were able to use a prosthesis, 16% had an obvious decline in QOL and for 12% of patients, no clear details were given, although it was suggested by authors that these patients also encountered deterioration after amputation. Complications of phantom limb pain, recurrence of CRPS and stump pain were predominant risks and were noticed in 65%, 45% and 30% of cases after amputation, respectively and two-thirds of patients were satisfied. Amputation can be considered by clinicians and patients as an option to improve QOL and to relieve agonizing, excruciating pain of severe, resistant CRPS at a specialized centre after multidisclipinary involvement but it must be acknowledged that evidence is limited, and the there are risks of aggravating or recurrence of CRPS, phantom pain and unpredictable consequences of rehabilitation. Amputation, if considered for resistant CRPS, should be carried out at specialist centres and after MDT involvement before and after surgery. It should only be considered if requested by patients with poor quality of life who have failed to improve after multiple treatment modalities. Further high quality and comprehensive research is needed to understand the severe form of CRPS which behaves differently form less severe stages. Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2019;4:533-540.

Hands and faces: The expression of modality in ZEI, Iranian Sign Language
Authors: Siyavoshi Sara 
Published: September 2019

AbstractThis paper presents a study of modality in Iranian Sign Language (ZEI) from a cognitive perspective, aimed at analyzing two linguistic channels: facial and manual. While facial markers and their grammatical functions have been studied in some sign languages, we have few detailed analyses of the facial channel in comparison with the manual channel in conveying modal concepts. This study focuses on the interaction between manual and facial markers. A description of manual modal signs is offered. Three facial markers and their modality values are also examined: squinted eyes, brow furrow, and downward movement of lip corners (horseshoe mouth). In addition to offering this first descriptive analysis of modality in ZEI, this paper also applies the Cognitive Grammar model of modality, the Control Cycle, and the Reality Model, classifying modals into two kinds, effective and epistemic. It is suggested that effective control, including effective modality, tends to be expressed on the hands, while facial markers play an important role in marking epistemic assessment, one manifestation of which is epistemic modality. ZEI, like some other sign languages, exhibits an asymmetry between the number of manual signs and facial markers expressing epistemic modality: while the face can be active in the expression of effective modality, it is commonly the only means of expressing epistemic modality. By positing an epistemic core in effective modality, Cognitive Grammar provides a theoretical basis for these findings.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Novel and miniaturized hexagonal Microstrip patch antenna design is presented in this paper. Patch is fractured using Sierpinski and Koch structures to make the antenna applicable for multiband applications. Additionally ground is defected to enhance the bandwidth and further size is reduced. Material FR-4 (εr = 4.4)has been chosen to design proposed antenna and substrate thickness as 1.59 mm. Microstrip feed technique is used as it provides better results. Gain obtained in this case is 5.57 dB, 7.49 dB and 4.02 dB with bandwidth as 606.8 MHz, 507 MHz and 2 GHz at 8.3 GHz, 12.6 GHz and 17.6 GHz resonant frequencies. The antenna is better to other designs in terms of parameters like bandwidth, directivity, polarization, gain, return loss and dimension. The antenna provides application for military appliances. A good concord is obtained in Simulated and measured results.
Using Monarch Butterfly Optimization to Solve the Emergency Vehicle Routing Problem with Relief Materials in Sudden Disasters
Authors: Yi Jiao-Hong , Wang Jian , Wang Gai-Ge 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
China has one of the highest rates of natural disasters in the world. In recent years, the Chinese government has placed a high value on improving emergency natural disaster relief. The goal of this research was to resolve a key issue for emergency natural disaster relief: the emergency vehicle routing problem (EmVRP) with relief materials in sudden disasters. First, we provided a description of the EmVRP, and defined the boundary conditions. On this basis, we constructed an optimization model of EmVRP with relief materials in sudden disasters. To reach the best solution in the least amount of time, we proposed an enhanced monarch butterfly optimization (EMBO) algorithm, incorporating two modifications to the basic MBO: a self-adaptive strategy and a crossover operator. Finally, the EMBO algorithm was used to solve the EmVRP. Our experiments using two examples EmVRP with relief materials in a sudden-onset disaster proved the suitability of EMBO. In addition, an array of comparative studies showed that the proposed EMBO algorithm can achieve satisfactory solutions in less time than the basic MBO algorithm and seven other intelligent algorithms.

Authors: Rizwan Rizwan 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
In this paper, we consider a non local boundary value problem of nonlinear fractional Langevin equation with non-instantaneous impulses. Initially, we form a standard framework to originate a formula of solutions to our proposed model and then implement the concept of generalized Ulam–Hyers–Rassias using Diaz–Margolis’s fixed point theorem over a generalized complete metric space.
HPLC phenolic fingerprinting, antioxidant and anti-phosphodiesterase-5 properties of Rauwolfia vomitoria extract
Authors: Oboh Ganiyu , Adebayo Adeniyi A. , Ademosun Ayokunle O. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

Background
In Nigerian traditional medicine, Rauwolfia vomitoria has been reported to be useful in the management of various human diseases, but there is no relevant information to substantiate its involvement in managing diseases arising from vascular dysfunction and oxidative stress. However, this study sought to investigate the antioxidant property of R. vomitoria and its effect on phophodiesterase-5 activity in vitro.

Methods
The antioxidant property was assessed through ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), copper chelation, and ABTS radical-scavenging activity. In addition, the effect of R. vomitoria on phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) activity was assessed in vitro. Furthermore, analysis of phenolic compounds present in R. vomitoria was carried out using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Results
The findings in this study revealed that R. vomitoria inhibited PDE-5 in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 = 252.42 μg/mL). Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of R. vomitoria was established through FRAP (19.68 mg AAE/g), ABTS radical-scavenging ability (74.25 mmol TEAC/g), and Cu2+-chelating ability (IC50 = 0.13 mg/mL).

Conclusions
The antioxidant property of R. vomitoria and its inhibitory effect on PDE-5 could be useful in the management of diseases arising from vascular dysfunction and oxidative stress.
Net Neutrality Policies and Regulation in the United States
Authors: Jamison Mark A. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The US debate about net neutrality has been unusually contentious for a telecommunications regulatory issue, most recently culminating in a 2017 reversal of a 2015 decision to apply traditional telephone regulations, written for a monopoly era, to internet service providers. This article reviews this history, beginning 1956 when the government first imposed an industry boundary between transmission of information on the one hand, and the creation and processing of information on the other. This regulatory legacy remains embedded in US law and has led to some of the muddle. This article also examines the academic literature relating to net neutrality. On this, the answers found in the literature vary depending on assumptions made about technology, industry structure, and industry practices. When the answer to the question of whether regulations are beneficial is “it depends,” and the scenarios that give different answers are realistic, it would seem that the policy approach should favor applying competition and consumer protection laws that address problems when they occur rather than ex ante regulations, which would be certain to harm at least in some situations.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
In this research article, the authors pay attention to investigate the effect of structural and dielectric properties of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) crystal under pre and post shock loaded conditions. A shock wave of Mach number 1.9 was utilized for the present investigation which was generated by a table-top pressure driven shock tube. The crystalline nature and grain size variations were estimated by powder X-ray diffraction technique. The grain size of post shock wave loaded ADP crystal is found to be larger than that of the pre shock wave loaded ADP crystal. The dielectric properties of the pre and post shock loaded crystals were analyzed by impedance analyzer as a function of frequency (1 kHz–1 MHz) at ambient temperature. The dielectric constant is observed to be varying from 346 to 362 at the frequency of 400 kHz for pre and post shock wave loaded ADP crystals, respectively. The obtained results suggest that shock waves can be an alternate tool to tailor the physical properties of materials without creating any change in the original crystal system and surface morphology.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
In the current research, we observed numerous suggestions are promoting the use of bio-based epoxy resins, replacing the petroleum-based products like Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A type epoxy resin DGEBA. With the passage of time, the impending challenges include preparation of environmentally-friendly epoxy with minimum toxic side effect and improved properties. Therefore, we describe a very useful method for preparing new silicone-bridged dimethyl siloxane monomers in high quantity, derived from naturally occurring eugenol. By putting the methyl siloxane, computed with different chain lengths into their molecular backbone. Such epoxy monomers have different molecular structure with high purity. This dimethyl siloxane epoxy, with lower viscosity than commercial DGEBA epoxy, has superior thermal properties, which were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry DSC. Modification of CMS increases the hydrophilicity. Bio-based epoxy (self-prepared) resin improved adhesive properties, with the help of modified CMS. This study presents a very easy and effective chemical modification to enhance interfacial adhesion composites with superior properties.

Abstract
López-Laval, I, Sitko, S, Muñiz-Pardos, B, Cirer-Sastre, R, and Calleja-González, J. Relationship between bench press strength and punch performance in male professional boxers. J Strength Cond Res 34(2): 308–312, 2020—This study investigated the relationship between punching performance and the velocity at which different loads were lifted during the bench press (BP) exercise in 12 professional boxers (age = 22.6 ± 4 years; height = 177.7 ± 5 cm; body mass 70.6 ± 6.43 kg; years of boxing experience = 6.5 ± 3.5 years; weight class = from light to super welterweight). To determine the maximal punching velocity (PVmax) during both rear arm (RA) and lead arm (LA) punching, an accelerometer (Crossbow; Willow Technologies, Sussex, United Kingdom) was placed inside the boxing glove while executing 3 jabs at a maximal velocity with each arm. Upper-body strength was assessed through the direct 1-repetition maximum (1RM) BP test, and the maximum velocity at different percentages of 1RM was obtained with a linear encoder. The main finding was that RA PVmax was correlated with the BP velocity at all submaximal intensities (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, LA PVmax did not correlate with BP velocity at any intensity. When the correlated BP submaximal intensities were introduced in linear regression models, the velocity at 80% 1RM was the only predictor of RA PVmax (r
2 = 0.75; p < 0.01) in professional boxers. Additional body mass adjustment to the regression model significantly affected the predictive value (r
2 = 0.65; p < 0.005). Results encourage coaches and trainers to use BP exercise with high loads (i.e., 80% of 1RM) because this could be a reliable predictor of performance during the specific boxing action. Future research is needed to determine exercises and intensities that could explain LA PVmax because significant associations were not found.

Abstract
Brewer, GJ, Blue, MNM, Hirsch, KR, Peterjohn, AM, and Smith-Ryan, AE. Appendicular body composition analysis: Validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis compared with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in Division I college athletes. J Strength Cond Res 33(11): 2920–2925, 2019—The purpose of this study was to evaluate validity of appendicular body composition measurements measured from a multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF-BIA) compared with a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) criterion in Division I athletes. One hundred sixty male (n = 44) and female (n = 116) collegiate athletes were enrolled: Men's Cross Country (n = 15), football linemen (n = 29), Women's Soccer (n = 27), Women's Field Hockey (n = 27), Women's Cross Country (n = 13), Women's Gymnastics (n = 16), and Women's Lacrosse (n = 33). Appendicular fat mass (FM) of the arms (AFM, right AFM, left AFM) and legs (LFM, right LFM, left LFM), appendicular fat-free mass (FFM) of the arms (AFFM, RAFFM, LAFFM) and legs (LFFM, RLFFM, LLFFM), total body FM and FFM, and total body %fat were collected from both devices. MF-BIA significantly underestimated appendicular FFM of the arms (AFFM mean difference [MD]: −0.7 kg; RAFFM: −0.4 kg; LAFFM: −0.4 kg, p < 0.001) and legs (LFFM MD: −3.8 kg; RLFFM: −1.9 kg; LLFFM: −1.9 kg, p < 0.001), and FM of the legs (LFM MD: −2.5 kg; RLFM: −1.3 kg; LLFM: −1.3 kg, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in appendicular FM measures of the arms (p = 0.174). All measures held true for male subjects and female subjects. Female subjects produced smaller differences compared with male subjects. The lack of validity, from raw and relative error, between the devices for most appendicular measures (FFM of arms and FFM and FM legs) and all total body measures (FM, FFM, and %fat) suggest that this MF-BIA may not be accurate in measuring a lean, athletic, population compared with DXA.
