Abstract

Background and aims
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) may result in chronic abdominal pain. Therapeutic options include local injection therapy. Data on the efficacy of adding corticosteroids to these injections is lacking.

Methods
Patients ≥18 years with ACNES were randomized to receive an injection of lidocaine with (LC-group) or without (LA-group) the addition of methylprednisolone into the point of maximal abdominal wall pain. Pain was recorded using a numeric rating scale (NRS: 0–10) and a verbal rating scale (VRS: 0=no pain, 5=unbearable pain) at baseline and 6 weeks after the start of a bi-weekly injection regimen consisting of a total of three injections. A minimal 50% reduction on NRS and/or two points on VRS were considered successful responses.

Results
Between February 2014 and August 2016, 136 patients (median age 46 year, range 18–79, 75% females) were randomized (68 vs. 68). The proportion of patients demonstrating a successful response after 6 weeks did not significantly differ between groups (LA 38%, LC 31%, p=0.61). At 12 weeks, the number of patients still experiencing a minimal 50% pain relief had decreased but no group difference was observed (LA 20%, LC 18%, p=0.80). Minor side effects included temporary increase of pain, tenderness at injection sites or transient malaise (LA23/68, LC 29/68, p=0.46).

Conclusions
Adding corticosteroids to a lidocaine does not increase the proportion of ACNES patients with a successful response to injection therapy. Lidocaine alone can provide long term pain relief after one or multiple injections, in approximately 1 of 5 patients.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to study the unsteady flow of immiscible couple stress fluid sandwiched between Newtonian fluids through a horizontal channel. The fluids and plates are initially at rest. At an instant of time, a constant pressure gradient is applied along the horizontal direction to generate the flow. The time-dependent partial differential equations are solved numerically using the finite difference method. The continuity of velocities and shear stresses at the fluid-fluid interfaces has been considered. The obtained results are displayed through graphs and are discussed for various fluid parameters pertaining the flow. The volume flow rate is also obtained numerically for diverse fluid parameters and is presented through a table. It is noticed that fluid velocities increased with time and reached a steady state after a certain time level. Also, the presence of couple stresses reduced the fluid velocities. Volume flow rate increased with Reynolds number and is reduced by increase of ratio of viscosities.

Extinction Coefficient of Plasmonic Nickel Sulfide Nanocrystals and Gold-Nickel Sulfide Core-Shell Nanoparticles
Authors: Himstedt Rasmus , Hinrichs Dominik , Dorfs Dirk 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In the presented work, the molar extinction coefficient of plasmonic heazlewoodite (Ni3S2) nanoparticles and Au-Ni3S2 core-shell nanoparticles is determined for the first time. The results are compared to analogously determined extinction coefficients of pure Au nanocrystals (NCs), which themselves correlate very well with existing literature on the subject. The measured extinction coefficients at the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) maximum wavelength of nickel sulfide particles are similar to the values of equally sized Au NCs. Therefore, considering the lower cost of the heazlewoodite material, it could be a reasonable alternative for optical applications of nanoparticles showing a LSPR in the visible regime of the electromagnetic spectrum. Furthermore, this study shows, that by growing a Ni3S2 shell onto a pure Au nanocrystal a highly tuneable optical material with variable LSPR frequency and molar extinction coefficient is obtained.
Critical Assessment of Infiltration Measurements for Soils with Varying Fine Content Using a Mini Disk Infiltrometer

Published: May 2018

AbstractThe mini disk infiltrometer (MDI) is used for measuring near-saturated infiltration rates (kh0) of soils. Because of its compact size, ease of use, and requirement for only a small volume of water, the MDI is handy for laboratory soil specimens (especially in column soil studies). In order to obtain representative infiltration characteristics of laboratory soil specimens, it is necessary to ensure negligible boundary effects on the three-dimensional wetting front propagation beneath the MDI. However, there is no existing study that suggests suitable column dimensions that would be devoid of kh0 variability because of boundary effects. Moreover, the current approaches in estimating the kh0 do not adopt measured van Genuchten (vG) soil parameters and rely on empirical vG values. Based on experiments carried out on ten different soils (with varying fine fractions), the current study explores the possible variability in determining a suitable soil specimen diameter to perform an MDI test with no boundary effects. This study is based on 123 infiltrometer experiments conducted on the selected soils and recommends using soil specimen diameters greater than 3.5 times the MDI base diameter for alleviating boundary effects. A power relationship is drawn between kh0, measured using the MDI, and the fine fractions of soils (percentage finer than 75 microns). The reliability of the current approach in estimating kh0 using the MDI was evaluated using measured vG parameters.

In globalization era today we as world member can feel the spread of science andtechnology advance in which one country with another country will know each otherstrength and weakness through evaluation of its various technology and communicationwhich influence people in various countries. From year to year there are many people whoare increasingly go to jail. Whereas the failure and success of citizen education can be seenfrom daily attitude and behavior of community and their family environment. So, it is notsurprising that there are more and more prisoners from year to year. This indicate thatmany citizens who are involved in infringement which result in criminality. The solutionis that citizen education material should be prepared to suit with situation from influenceof science and technology advance, in addition the government should control communityand their family environment to be better (good citizenship). The material and the wayteacher teach (method, media and model) should be arranged. As suggested by William T.Callahan (1990: 338) that good citizenship was not born, but is in interpersonal, intellectualabilities which are needed and should be learned seriously, then applied to community andtheir family environment as citizen of people in various countries.

Published: May 2018

OBJECTIVES:
Inconsistent results have been reported by authors of studies of the management of pediatric patients with ovarian torsion (OT). Our objective was to identify predictors of oophorectomy in girls hospitalized throughout Texas with OT.

METHODS:
The Texas Public Use Data File (years 2013–2014) was queried for the records of girls under the age of 18 years who had a principal or secondary discharge diagnosis of OT (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code 620.5). Adjusted odds ratios were estimated from a logistic regression model by using Firth’s bias-reducing penalized likelihood. Variables for inclusion in the final model were identified by using a directed acyclic graph.

RESULTS:
A sample of 158 girls was identified with an overall risk of oophorectomy during the hospital stay of 41.1% (65 out of 158). After adjusting for the patient’s age, health insurance status, and the presence of an ovarian cyst, girls who were treated at a nonteaching hospital were more than twice as likely to undergo oophorectomy than girls who were treated at a teaching hospital (odds ratio = 2.22; 95% confidence interval: 1.05–4.69).

CONCLUSIONS:
Our analysis of a statewide database revealed that girls with OT who presented at nonteaching hospitals were significantly more likely to undergo oophorectomy compared with girls who presented at teaching hospitals.
Decreasing the Time to Insulin Administration for Hospitalized Patients With Cystic Fibrosis–Related Diabetes
Authors: Smego Allison , Lawson Sarah , Courter Joshua D. , Warden Deborah , Corathers Sarah 
Published: May 2018

OBJECTIVES:
Children with cystic fibrosis–related diabetes (CFRD) represent a commonly hospitalized pediatric population whose members require insulin for blood glucose (BG) control. The aim of this quality improvement initiative was to increase the proportion of hospitalized patients with CFRD receiving insulin within 30 minutes of a BG check while decreasing severe hypo- and hyperglycemia episodes.

METHODS:
Quality improvement methodology (gathering a team of stakeholders, identifying metrics, implementing iterative plan-do-study-act cycles and analysis of data over time) was applied in the setting of a cystic fibrosis unit in a tertiary care children’s hospital. The percentage of patients with CFRD who received rapid-acting insulin within 30 minutes of a BG check and the rates of hypoglycemia (BG &lt;70 mg/dL) and hyperglycemia (BG &gt;200 mg/dL) were measured. Improvement interventions were focused on efficient communication among patients, nurses and providers; refining carbohydrate calculation; and sharing expectations with patients and caregivers.

RESULTS:
The proportion of rapid-acting insulin doses given within 30 minutes increased from a baseline mean 40% to a sustained mean of 78%. During active improvement interventions, success rates of 100% were achieved. Hyperglycemic events (BG &gt;200 mg/dL) decreased from 125 events to 85 events per 100 rapid-acting insulin days. Hypoglycemic events (BG &lt;70 mg/dL) remained low at &lt;5 events per 100 rapid-acting insulin days.

CONCLUSIONS:
Systematic implementation of low-cost interventions successfully resulted in measurable improvement in timely rapid-acting insulin administration for hospitalized patients with CFRD and lower rates of severe hypo- and hyperglycemia on the unit. Future efforts will be directed to increase the reliability of interventions to maintain optimal performance and outcomes.

OBJECTIVES:
(1) To evaluate the association between acute kidney injury (AKI) in the PICU and long-term mortality and (2) to determine the extent to which adding the urine output (UO)–defined AKI alters the association.

METHODS:
A 2-center retrospective cohort study of children (≤18 years old) admitted to the PICU between 2003 and 2005 for noncardiac surgery, with follow-up until 2010. Patients with end stage renal disease, no provincial health insurance number, who died during hospitalization, or could not be linked to administrative data were excluded. One hospitalization per patient was included. AKI was defined by using serum creatinine criteria and/or UO criteria. Mortality was ascertained by using administrative data. Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between AKI and long-term mortality.

RESULTS:
The study population included 2041 patients (55.7% male, mean admission age 6.5 ± 5.8 years). Of 2041 hospital survivors, 9 (0.4%) died within 30 days, 51 (2.5%) died within 1 year, and 118 (5.8%) died within 5 to 7 years postdischarge. AKI was independently associated with 5- to 7-year mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 3.10 [1.46–6.57] and 3.38 [1.63–7.02], respectively). Including UO did not strengthen the association.

CONCLUSIONS:
AKI is associated with 5- to 7-year mortality. Because this is an observational study we cannot determine if AKI is causative of mortality or of the pathophysiology. However, patients with AKI represent a high-risk group. It is reasonable that these patients be considered for targeted follow-up until future researchers better elucidate these relationships,

OBJECTIVES:Clinical practice guidelines have recognized “Asian” and “East Asian” as risk factors for newborn jaundice and readmission. We sought to identify more detailed and specific, parent-identified races or ethnicities associated with jaundice readmission.METHODS:We conducted a case control study of 653 newborn infants born (2014–2016) at a West-Coast, urban hospital to examine specific parent-described races or ethnicities that are associated with newborn hospital readmissions for hyperbilirubinemia. Parent-reported race or ethnicity was abstracted from the California Newborn Screening Test.RESULTS:Our sample included 105 infants readmitted for jaundice (cases) and 548 infants as controls. In the full cohort, 66 infants (10.1%) were Coombs positive, 39 infants (6.0%) were born before 37 weeks’ gestational age, and 405 infants (62.0%) were born to first-time mothers. The parents described the 653 infants using 45 unique races and ethnicities. In a multivariable model that controlled for Coombs positivity, gestational age &lt;37 weeks, and primiparity, infants described as “Far East Asian” (odds ratio [OR] = 3.17; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.94–5.18) or “Southeast Asian” (OR = 3.17; 95% CI = 1.66–6.08) had increased risk for jaundice readmission. Infants described as Southeast Asian (eg, Laotian, Cambodian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Filipino) and Far East Asian (eg, Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, Japanese, and Mongolian) had an increased risk of readmission. Finally, we did not find an association between South Asian (OR = 0.79; 95% CI = 0.33–1.92) race or ethnicity and risk of jaundice readmission.CONCLUSIONS:In this study, we help clarify and move beyond the term “Asian” as a risk factor for readmission due to hyperbilirubinemia.
