Published: February 2019

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas that spans a wide range ranging from mild to critical forms. Contrary to the progress in the management of severe AP, the MAP has not presented significant changes in recent years. There are also no studies that establish a clear relationship between EEN in MAP and levels of albuminemia and CRP.Materials and methods: A randomized, longitudinal and prospective clinical study was conducted. Patients were divided into 2 groups. The experimental group (G1) was indicated from the entrance a diet hyperproteic low in colecistokinetics diet, and to the control group (G2) nothing by mouth.Results: 19 patients were randomly distributed in 57.89% in the G2 and 42.11% in the G1. The G1 presented a higher average hospital stay in relation to the G2, such differences were not significant (p> 0.05). The G1 presented higher values of CRP in relation to the G2 significantly (p ?0.05). There was a decrease in albumin levels in both groups (p ?0.05). It was observed in both groups that, as CRP levels increased, albumin levels decreased significantly (p <0.01).Conclusions: Albuminemia levels decreased significantly in both groups, and this decrease was more marked in the EEN group. The decrease in albuminemia had a direct correlation with CRP levels, which were higher in the G1.

Published: February 2019

Abstract
Calcium phosphate cements are known for their biocompatibility and bioactivity, which has led to a significant increase in their use. They have the advantage of being prepared as a malleable paste that sets in a few minutes and can be easily applied in bone defects. In this research work, 6 brushite cement formulations were prepared and the effect of collagen addition and the release of tetracycline were evaluated. All cements gave a malleable paste that set in 2 or 3 min, resulting in a material with pores of 5–20 μm. The cements showed compression resistance values between 0.8 and 1.7 MPa, and the addition of collagen was the most influential factor in the increase of this property. Up to 40 % of the drug was released after 7 days and the effectiveness of its antimicrobial activity was confirmed.
Synthesis of SnO/SnO2 microsphere photocatalysts by ultrasonic reaction
Authors: Liang Baoyan , Zhang Wangxi , Zhang Yanli , Zhang Ruijie 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
SnO/SnO2 composites were synthesised through a simple solid-phase grinding-assisted ultrasonic reaction by using SnCl2 and NH4HCO3 as raw materials. Results showed that SnCl2 reacted with NH4HCO3 to form Sn6O4(OH)4 and NH4Cl through solid-phase grinding. Sn6O4(OH)4 was subsequently hydrolysed to SnO nanosheets. A small amount of SnO grains was transformed to SnO2. Different treatment processes played important roles in the composition, microstructural morphology and photocatalytic activity of SnO/SnO2 composites. The direct ultrasonication of ground products yielded microspheres comprising numerous SnO nanosheets and SnO2 nanoparticles with excellent visible photocatalytic properties, which can degrade 93.5% of methyl orange within 75 min.

Authors: Casey Máire-Bríd , Smart Keith M. , Hearty Conor , Lowry Damien , Doody Catherine 
Published: February 2019

BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence to support the benefits of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for people with chronic pain. Despite this, there is limited qualitative research published in this field. PURPOSE: The aim of this qualitative study was to explore individuals’ perspectives related to ‘acceptance’, following participation in an eight-week multidisciplinary pain management programme (PMP) based on the psychological approach Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). METHODS: Twenty-six participants attended one of five focus groups. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were imported into NVivo 11 and were analysed using an interpretative phenomenological approach. RESULTS: Three broad themes emerged, representing different stages of acceptance: (1) perception of acceptance as a step towards better living with chronic pain, (2) contemplation of acceptance and (3) non-acceptance. The participants in this study who appeared to have reached a point of acceptance, or were contemplating acceptance, reported positive behaviour changes that led to enhanced fulfilment and quality of life. However not all participants believed that acceptance of chronic pain was possible. Factors emerging as relevant to participants’ perceptions of acceptance included attitudes towards finding a cure, self-identity, self-efficacy, contact with personal values, feelings of loss and perceived injustice. CONCLUSION: This qualitative study highlights the complexity of acceptance and provides new and unique insights in relation to the views of people with chronic pain on the concept of acceptance, following participation in a multidisciplinary ACT-based PMP.

Published: February 2019

PURPOSE: Present study aimed to determine the effects of muscular relaxation and visualisation exercises on psycho-emotional state in women after breast cancer surgery during a 4-week individualised intervention. METHODS: The sample size of 51 women was chosen to perform the investigation. Women had undergone surgical treatment (radical mastectomy by Madden) for breast cancer. Participants reported anxiety and depression using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at baseline, and 4-week post-intervention. They were randomly assigned for the group A ( n = 26) that received progressive muscular relaxation and visualization exercises in addition to individualised physical rehabilitation intervention, and the group B ( n = 25) only received individualised physical rehabilitation intervention. RESULTS: It was found that psycho-emotional parameters steadily improved in both groups during a 4-week individualised intervention. However, based on the results of the 4-week monitoring, it has been established that using progressive muscular relaxation and visualization exercises in addition to the individualised physical intervention are more effective for reducing self-reported anxiety in women at hospital inpatient department. The post-intervention level of anxiety was statistically lower in women of the group A compared with the group B by 2.52 points ( p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These findings showed that progressive muscular relaxation and visualization exercises were effective interventions that had a favorable impact on anxiety in women after breast cancer surgery.
Thoracic ultrasound can optimise the sequence of medical and physiotherapy treatments during an opaque hemithorax (whiteout): A case report
Authors: Hayward Simon , Hayward Lisa 
Published: February 2019

INTRODUCTION: Physiotherapy can aid the removal of secretions following a whole lung collapse, presenting as an opaque hemithorax or “whiteout” on chest radiograph (CXR). Identifying the cause of an opaque hemithorax can prove difficult due to low sensitivity of chest radiography (CXR). Thoracic ultrasound (TUS) is a diagnostic technique able to differentiate between pathologies. The aim of this report is to highlight the impact of TUS on physiotherapy practice. CASE PRESENTATION: A 63-year-old patient underwent elective cardiac surgery. Post-operatively he sustained a cerebral artery infarct with a dense hemiplegia and an ineffective cough. He required nasal pharyngeal suction and use of a cough-assist machine. Increased oxygen requirements prompted a CXR showing an opaque hemithorax. Physiotherapy was requested to aid sputum removal and lung recruitment. Prior to initiating physiotherapy treatment TUS showed a large pleural effusion. Despite this new information a bronchoscopy elicited no significant sputum plug. A second TUS scan showed no change in the effusion. A chest drain was inserted which elicited 3500 mls within an hour. A third TUS showed an absence of any pleural effusion. Following physiotherapy treatment a final TUS scan showed normal aeration. DISCUSSION: An opaque hemithorax can be caused by a significant pleural effusion even when sputum retention is suspected. When patients are referred to physiotherapy TUS can highlight pathologies not amenable to physiotherapy treatment. It seems reasonable to address the pleural effusion first and then implement physiotherapy treatment. TUS will also allow rapid repeated imaging to assess whether treatments have been successful immediately after being administered.

Published: February 2019

BACKGROUND: A large proportion of patients with chronic stroke have permanent lower limb functional disability leading to reduced levels of independent mobility. Individually, both cross-education of strength and mirror therapy have been shown to improve aspects of lower limb functioning post-stroke. OBJECTIVES: This case report examined whether the novel combination of both therapies could be a feasible intervention leading to improvements in lower limb impairments and functional ability for a post-stroke individual. METHODS: The participant was a 66-year-old male and was six months’ post-stroke. Due to hemiparesis and spasticity he had lower limb motor impairment. The participant engaged in a combination of cross-education strength training plus mirror therapy three days per week for four weeks. Outcome measures included Maximal Voluntary Contraction, Modified Ashworth Scale, 10 Metre Walk Test, Timed Up and Go and London Handicap Scale. Intervention adherence, adverse effects and subjective feedback were also recorded. RESULTS: Maximal Voluntary Contraction increased in both limbs. Improvements were also seen in the Modified Ashworth Scale, 10 Metre Walk Test and Timed Up and Go. Improvements in function were reflected in a positive increase in self-perceived participation scores. The intervention was well received and no adverse effects were noted for the participant. DISCUSSION: The positive outcomes from this new combination therapy for this participant are encouraging and indicate the potential benefit of mirror therapy as an adjunct to cross-education training for improving lower limb strength, spasticity and motor function post-stroke.
A randomised feasibility study using an acupuncture protocol to the Achilles tendon in Achilles tendinopathy
Authors: Kishmishian Berj , Richards Jim , Selfe James 
Published: February 2019

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of Achilles tendinopathy is greatest in activities including middle and long distance running, tennis, badminton, volleyball, and its incidence is increasing. However, currently no gold standard treatment for Achilles tendinopathy exists, although eccentric exercises are commonly recommended. PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the changes in clinical scores when administering a) acupuncture and b) sham acupuncture to the Achilles tendon in patients diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy who did not respond to modified eccentric exercises. METHODS: Twenty-two patients were randomised and received either acupuncture or the control sham acupuncture treatment. VISA-A, NPRS, EQ-5D and GRC were recorded before treatment at week 0, then at week 2, week 4 with a final follow-up review at week 12. MAIN RESULTS: Acupuncture resulted in significant differences between groups and time points in VISA-A, NPRS, EQ-5D and GRC. The Acupuncture group reached the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) threshold for important difference, when compared to sham acupuncture. The difference between treatments would suggest a beneficial response following the use of acupuncture to the Achilles tendon in Achilles tendinopathy. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS: The overall findings suggest the use of a standardised acupuncture protocol to the Achilles tendon is a viable treatment alternative, which could be used as a second line treatment in patients diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy who did not respond to eccentric exercises. However, in view of the small sample size, the results of this feasibility study should be viewed with caution.

Published: February 2019

Studied sleep disorders (SD) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) using a Severity scale of insomnia (ІSІ) and Sleepiness Scale Epworth (ESS) in comparison with the control groups and in the aspect of comorbidity, as well as to determine the correlations between the SD and the degree of disability, the level of severity of fatigue, depression, pain, quality of life (QOL).
The study involved 207 MS patients with different forms of cours and 109 people who constituted the control group. Evaluated the clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients with MS due to comorbidity, determines the level of disability (EDSS), severity of pain (VAS), the severity of fatigue (FSS), depression (BDI-II), indicators of QOL (SF-36).
Single or multiple co-morbidities found in 102 (49.3%) patients with MS, there was no co-morbidities in 105 (50.7%) patients with MS.
It was found that more often among the SD in the study group of patients with MS observed insomnia (54.1%). It led to a decrease in the total duration of a night's sleep, as well as mainly predispose hypersomnia (43.0%). Also found that patients with MS I and II groups SD were significantly more likely than the control groups. It is shown that in patients with MS II group have a more severe manifestations of insomnia and daytime sleepiness (DS), which is associated with the presence of comorbid disease.
According to the correlation analysis shows that the degree of the SD in patients with MS is closely correlated with the level of fatigue were also observed close correlation between insomnia and DS.

Many studies focus on the effect of compensation of diabetes, glucose-lowering therapy of choice, the influence of cardio - vascular diseases in the state of cognition. At the same time, not enough attention is paid to cognitive impairment in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, especially young people. The aim of our study was to investigate the prognostic factors of dementia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are younger. 33 patients were examined with type 1 diabetes and 10 people in the control group. Of the 33 patients with diabetes, 21 people had hypoglycemia in the last 3 months and 12 without hypoglycemic states. To identify depression used two questionnaires: Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD). Evaluation of cognitive impairment was conducted using the following methods: The test "5 words", sample Schulte, the scale of assessment of mental status ( MMSE), test battery on the frontal dysfunction (BLD), evaluation of test o’clock. To reveal the 10-year risk of dementia patients used the scale which was developed by a team of researchers at Utrecht University Medical Rudolf Magnus. In patients with type 1 diabetes with hypoglycemia marked deterioration in cognitive function, according to the neuropsychological tests, namely the BLD and MMSE compared with patient without hypoglycemia. The risk of developing dementia over 10 years in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 young up 2.2 times compared with patients without hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemic state is the main risk factor that leads to the development of cognitive impairment, and this is a factor which can be influenced by insulin properly selected.

The Discus Comet: C/2014 B1 (Schwartz)
Authors: Jewitt David , Kim Yoonyoung , Luu Jane , Graykowski Ariel 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Long-period comet C/2014 B1 (Schwartz) exhibits a remarkable optical appearance, like that of a discus or bi-convex lens viewed edgewise. Our measurements in the four years since discovery reveal a unique elongated dust coma whose orientation is stable with respect to the projected antisolar and orbital directions. With no tail and no trail, the limited influence of radiation pressure on the dust coma sets a lower limit to the effective particle size ≳100 μm, while the photometry reveals a peak coma scattering cross-section 2.7 × 104 km2 (geometric albedo 0.1 assumed). From the rate of brightening of the comet we infer a dust production rate ≳10 kg s−1 at 10 au heliocentric distance, presumably due to the sublimation of supervolatile ices, and perhaps triggered by the crystallization of amorphous water ice. We consider several models for the origin of the peculiar morphology. The disk-like shape is best explained by equatorial ejection of particles from a nucleus whose spin vector lies near the plane of the sky. In this interpretation, the unique appearance of C/2014 B1 is a result of a near equality between the rotation-assisted nucleus escape speed (∼1–10 m s−1 for a 2–20 km scale nucleus) and the particle ejection velocity, combined with a near-equatorial viewing perspective. To date, most other comets have been studied at heliocentric distances less than half that of C/2014 B1, where their nucleus temperatures, gas fluxes, and dust ejection speeds are much higher. The throttling role of nucleus gravity is correspondingly diminished, so that the disk morphology has not before been observed.
