Abstract
The world has seen a rise of type 2 diabetes mellitus in children during the last 20 years. It is proposed that this increase is due to unhealthy eating habits, increasing obesity, especially among teenagers, and better diagnostics. The main risks associated with diabetes are microvascular and macrovascular complications, which can lead to early disability and premature death. The aim of our study was to identify children with type 2 diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance and investigate associated comorbidities at the time of diagnosis in the Children’s Clinical University Hospital in Latvia. A retrospective analysis was performed of all children with type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose tolerance impairment from 2002 till 2013, who were treated in Children’s Endocrinology Centre. According to inclusion criteria, 57 patients were selected of whom 24 (42%) had type 2 diabetes mellitus and 33 (58%) had impaired glucose tolerance. Body mass index was analysed according to percentile and all patients were found to have excess weight. In children with type 2 diabetes mellitus, all patients had body mass index over the 99th percentile. Arterial hypertension was found in 66.7% and dyslipidemia in 54.2% type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. From all type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, 71% (n = 17) were girls and they had statistically significantly higher total cholesterol (p = 0.02) and low-density lipoprotein (p = 0.003) levels. Considering, that girls with type 2 diabetes mellitus have high cardiovascular risk in adulthood, it is very important not only to achieve normal glucose levels early, but also to treat comorbidities, to reduce further microvascular and macrovascular complication risk.

Published: August 2018

Mobile phones, especially the smart ones are becoming a main need for millions of people from all ages. Producers pay attention to develop a repeat purchasing behavior among their customers, aiming to resale their updated models. Brands play an important role in facilitating and affecting customer?s choice process, especially for high-technology products. Brand loyalty concerns the behavior of rebuying and at the same time, the antecedents causing that actual behavior. This study aims to study the relationships between consumer personality, brand personality and brand loyalty with data collected from 394 participants by two questionnaires (for Samsung and Apple) using convenience sampling method. Questionnaires are designed by using CAD scale of Cohen (1967), brand personality scale of Aaker (1997) and brand loyalty scale of Chaudhuri and Holbrook (2001). Four groups of hypotheses were tested with regression analyses and one group by comparing means. Findings include statistically significant results.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate preliminary clinical and radiographic outcomes of a case series of patients with ankle osteoarthritis undergoing anterior tibiotalar arthrodesis using anterior plate and cannulated screws as a form of fixation. Methods: We retrospectively assessed the clinical and radiographic outcomes of eight cases treated with this technique in our service between 2014 and 2017, using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) questionnaire and radiographic evaluation in two orthogonal views with ankle weight bearing, evaluated at one year after surgery. Results: We obtained AOFAS scores between 38 and 92 in the late postoperative period and a consolidation rate of 87.5% (seven cases). There was consolidation failure in one case, which resulted in plate loosening and the need for reoperation. Only one of the patients presented superficial surgical wound complication, treated only with serial dressings. There were no neurovascular complications. Conclusion: The present study obtained adequate preliminary outcomes with the use of the demonstrated technique, indicating a possible advantage of the same in relation to conventional techniques and the possibility of using lower-cost surgical materials.

Objective: To analyse the rate of unsatisfactory reduction in syndesmosis injuries by means of a postoperative tomographic study. Methods: This was a prospective study conducted from March to December 2017. Thirty patients with syndesmosis injury were selected, and ankle tomography was performed during the first postoperative period. A form developed for the study was used to collect demographic data (sex and age in years) and postoperative data (operated side, Weber classification, computed tomography results and need for surgical reoperation). The images were evaluated using tomographic criteria. The intraoperative analysis was performed through radioscopy and by direct visualization of the syndesmosis. Results: The majority of the patients were male (56.7%), ranging in age from 17 to 51 years; 53.3% of the patients were operated on the left side; 66.7% were classified as type C; and 66.7% did not undergo reoperation. Regarding the rate of unsatisfactory syndesmosis reduction, it was foundthat 25.9% of the analyses of the established variables presented unsatisfactory results. It was observed that 74.1% of the criteria presented satisfactory results; however, criterion B presented a significant rate (37%) of unsatisfactory results. Conclusion: Based on the computed tomographic scans, there was a high percentage of unsatisfactory reductions in syndesmosis injuries. Thus, it was concluded that, even using the correct fixation techniques and adequate intraoperative scopic monitoring, distal tibiofibular joint incongruence can still be observed when investigated using postoperative tomography.

Published: August 2018

Objective: To measure and evaluate the distance from the medial plantar nerve (MPN) to six predetermined anatomical landmarks, identifying 12 distances, and establish a correlation with the trajectory of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon, especially the knot of Henry, and the location of the bifurcation of the posterior tibial nerve (PTN) relative to the tarsal tunnel. Methods: A descriptive and quantitative study was conducted in which 15 adult feet (six right and nine left) from cadavers were dissected, and the anatomical relationship between the MPN and predetermined structures was evaluated. The distance from the medial border of the medial malleolus to the inferior calcaneal tuberosity [defined as a fixed reference (FR)] was measured to compensate for variability in foot size. Results: The results indicated that the bifurcation of the PTN was proximal to the tarsal tunnel in 11 feet (73.3%), within the tunnel in three feet (20%), and distal to the tunnel in one foot (6.66%). A statistically significant (p=0.035) association was found between the FR and the distance from the superior calcaneal tuberosity to the MPN, a strong correlation (p=0.004) was found between the FR and the distance from the inferior calcaneal tuberosity to the MPN, and a significant association (p=0.013) was found between the FR and the distance from the medial calcaneal tuberosity to the knot of Henry. Conclusion: Some anatomical structures, especially the knot of Henry, have a strong correlation with the MPN and should be considered by surgeons who intend to approach the FHL in the plantar region. Bifurcation of the PTN proximal to the tarsal tunnel was the most common presentation.Level of Evidence V; Expert opinion.
Perceptions and Preferences of Urban Greenspaces: A Literature Review and Framework for Policy and Practice
Authors: Mahmoudi Farahani Leila , Maller Cecily Jane 
Published: August 2018

The ever-increasing process of urbanisation across the globe has major implications for the environment, biodiversity and health and wellbeing of urbanites. Urban greenspaces are considered a promising planning tool in tackling some of the problems associated with urbanisation such as pollution and urban heat island effects. It is, therefore, important to understand what encourages the extent to which urban dwellers interact with or use greenspaces. Perceptions and preferences are different ways of exploring how users interact with greenspace, but they are traditionally considered separately in extant research. The aim of this literature review is to synthesise the existing evidence for both perceptions of and preferences for greenspaces, highlighting crossovers and synergies between these two approaches. Drawing on a review of literature found in three online databases — EBSCOhost Web, Taylor and Francis Online and Elsevier —, the paper proposes a framework for understanding perceptions of and preferences for greenspaces which can assist policy makers and planners to develop and design greenspaces with higher efficiency and use or improve existing ones, ultimately improving the liveability of urban environments.

In this study the structural and optical properties of pure and Sn doped films polyanilinehydrochloride (PANI) doped by Tin (Sn) with volumetric percentages (3, 6, and 9)%, which prepared by using the spin coating method on substrates of the glass at room temperature. The structural properties of the prepared films were studied by x-ray diffraction technique. The results illustrate amorphous structure .The atomic force microscope (AFM) diagnosis has led the doping process to decrease in the roughness of the surface and the average rate of the square root with the variation in particle size distribution. The study of the optical properties by measuring then absorption and transmission spectra as a function of wavelength (320-910) nm to the pure and doped film of PANI, the results showed that the transmittance decreased with increasing doping due to the increase in the impurity resulted which makes attenuation in the intensity of incident light with a increasing of absorption. The results also showed that the polymer has an indirect allowed energy gap and it decrease with increasing doping because of the doping levels (Sn) inside the optical energy gap.

Published: August 2018

The article presents the study results of seed inoculation by specific strains Mesorhizobiumciceri on number and weight of chickpea root nodules, productivity and nutrition value of chickpea cultivated in the southern nature-climatic part of the Rostov region. The study was conducted on the fields of FSBSI “Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy” (in the laboratory of cultivation technology of row crops) located in the southern part of the Rostov region in 2015–2016. The soil of the plot was heavy loamy carbonate blackearth (chernozem) with 7.0 рН, 3.2% of humus, 18–25 of P2O5 mg/kg of soil and 350–400 of K2O mg/kg of soil. The object of the study was a chickpea variety ‘Volgogradsky 10’, approved to use in the Rostov region. The strains of nodule bacteria (Rhyzotorfin) were developed and presented by the FSBSI All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Microbiology (the laboratory of ecology of symbiotic and associative rhizobacteria). Agroclimatic conditions of chickpea vegetation period ranged throughout the years of study that allowed estimating chickpea productivity without fear or favor. The use of Rhyzotorfin strains resulted in increasing preservation of plants for harvesting, improving seed productivity (seed-weight per plant, 1000-kernel weight) and increasing grain productivity (with the increase on 0.24–0.51 t/ha compared with the control). Large yields of fodder units and raw protein per unit area testified the improvement of nutrition value of chickpea kernels, and the increase of these traits to the control was 0.33–0.68 t/ha and 26.5-93.1 kg/ha respectively.
