Compression garments and fabric orthoses for rehabilitation and function: a systematic mapping review
Authors: Snowdon Nicky , Sier Daniel , Potia Tanzila , Wheat Jon , McLean Sionnadh 
Published: December 2018

Background/Aims: Compression garments, joint supports and dynamic-movement orthoses all use elastic fibres and close-fitting designs and have been researched for their effects on movement. There is little cross-referencing between research into these interventions. This review aimed to improve interdisciplinary understanding by analysing key characteristics of the published evidence. Methods: Systematic mapping reviews identify gaps in an evidence base and identify questions for more in-depth reviews. This review was conducted in line with current guidance. MEDLINE, CINAHL and Sports Discuss were searched for primary research investigating compression garments and orthoses for movement and function. The following search terms were used: ‘elastane’, ‘spandex’, ‘Lycra’, ‘elastomer*’ ‘Theratog*’, ‘compression’, ‘Neoprene’, ‘orthotic’, ‘orthosis’, ‘shorts’, ‘garment*’, ‘splint’, ‘brace’, ‘sock*’ and ‘stockings’. Studies were screened against predetermined criteria and key study characteristics extracted. Findings: A total of 351 studies were selected and analysed. Compression garment research was most common (236 studies), followed by research into joint supports (64 studies) and dynamic-movement orthoses (42 studies). Research largely reflects the purpose for which each intervention was originally designed. Common topics investigated include posture and movement control, proprioception and muscle activity. Pressure applied beneath compression garments was measured in only 30% of studies. Conclusions: The review highlights a need for more robust study designs in patient populations and accurate description of interventions. There is a need for a review on the possible effects of compression and support on movement control, which should be used to inform future primary research.

Understanding the “philosophy” of laboratory hemostasis
Authors: Lippi Giuseppe , Adcock Dorothy , Favaloro Emmanuel J. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Unlike many other areas of laboratory medicine, laboratory hemostasis has some peculiarities, which makes it one of the most complex diagnostic domains in clinical medicine. The inherent complexity of the hemostasis process, the components of which have not yet been thoroughly unravelled, is mirrored by a large number of hemostasis disturbances, which can involve single or multiple components. Although laboratory diagnostics represents an unavoidable part of the diagnostic reasoning in patients with bleeding or thrombotic disorders, the basic concept beneath the assumption that in many human pathologies, one single test may be sufficient for the diagnosis, does not hold true in hemostasis. There are in fact many aspects that would lead us to conclude that laboratory hemostasis can be considered a very challenging arena for many clinicians and perhaps also for some laboratory professionals. The most challenging aspects typically include the following concepts; that hemostasis is an intricate and multifaceted process, that more than one test is typically needed to achieve a final diagnosis, that results of screening tests depend on many biological factors and do not allow making a final diagnosis, that harmonization of techniques is still an unmet target, and that the calculations used vary widely among laboratories. This article is hence aimed at discussing many of these aspects, with the hope of presenting a useful contribution to better understand the “philosophy” of laboratory hemostasis.

Published: December 2018

Abstract

Background
To provide successful transfer from childhood to adult-oriented healthcare is one of the priorities of survivorship care plans.

Purpose
This study describes adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors’ conditions at the moment of the transition to adult care deepening their biological, psychological, social and assistant state and their associations with socio-demographic and clinical characteristics.

Methods
A biopsychosocial check-list in four health domains (biological, psychological, social and assistant) was filled in by healthcare professionals (oncologists, psychologists, social workers and nurses) through qualitative interviews and clinical observations of 79 survivors (58% boys; Mage = 20 years old) at the moment of the transition from the Pediatric Oncology Unit to the Transition Unit of the Childhood Cancer Survivors.

Results
At the moment of transition, 38% of survivors showed a positive condition in all the four health domains without any kind of impairment. Biological (37%) and psychological areas (44%) were found to be those with major incidence of impairments. Association phenomena were found between psychological and social condition (p < 0.05) and between social and assistant condition (p < 0.05). Biological condition was also significantly associated with the type of cancer (χ = 6,2414, p < 0.05).

Conclusion
Although many survivors entered in adult care system without any impairment, the biopsychosocial approach highlighted that there is a presence of impairments in at least one of the main health domains.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
We study an impartial game introduced by Anderson and Harary. The game is played by two players who alternately choose previously-unselected elements of a finite group. The first player who builds a generating set from the jointly-selected elements wins.
We determine the nim-numbers of this game for finite groups of the form

{T\times H}

, where T is a 2-group and H is a group of odd order. This includes all nilpotent and hence abelian groups.
A class of homotopy with regularization for nonlinear ill-posed problems in Hilbert space
Authors: Liu Minghui , Ma Fuming 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Nonlinear ill-posed problems arise in many inverse problems in Hilbert space. We investigate the homotopy method, which can obtain global convergence to solve the problems. The “homotopy with Tikhonov regularization” and “homotopy without derivative” are developed in this paper. The existence of the homotopy curve is proved. Several numerical schemes for tracing the homotopy curve are given, including adaptive tracing skills. Compared to the regularized Newton method, the numerical examples show that our proposed methods are stable and effective.
Semi-heuristic parameter choice rules for Tikhonov regularisation with operator perturbations
Authors: Hämarik Uno , Kangro Urve , Kindermann Stefan , Raik Kemal 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
We study the choice of the regularisation parameter for linear ill-posed problems in the presence of data noise and operator perturbations, for which a bound on the operator error is known but the data noise level is unknown. We introduce a new family of semi-heuristic parameter choice rules that can be used in the stated scenario. We prove convergence of the new rules and provide numerical experiments that indicate an improvement compared to standard heuristic rules.
No clinical utility of common polymorphisms in IGF1, IRS1, GCKR, PPARG, GCK1 and KCTD1 genes previously associated with insulin resistance in overweight children from Romania and Moldova

Abstract

Background
Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified IGF1, IRS1, GCKR, PPARG, GCK1 and KCTD1 as candidate genes for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). We investigated the associations of these previously reported common variants in these genes with insulin resistance in overweight children from Romania and Moldova.

Methods
Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), IGF1 (rs35767), IRS1 (rs2943634), GCKR (rs780094), PPARG (rs1801282), GCK1 (rs1799884) and KCTD15 (rs29941), were genotyped in 100 overweight children along with clinical and metabolic parameters. Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) above 3.4 (defining insulin resistance) was used as the outcome.

Results
Children differed in insulin resistance status despite having similar body mass index (BMI) standard deviation scores (SDS) (World Health Organization, [WHO] reference). The identified predictors for altered insulin metabolism were higher cholesterol levels, higher diastolic blood pressure and higher waist-to-hip-ratio (as a marker for increased abdominal fat). None of the SNPs showed significant association with increase in the risk for insulin resistance in children (p range=0.478–0.724; odds ratio [OR] range=1.924–4.842); however, the risk allele in GCKR (rs780094, p=0.06, OR=6.871) demonstrated near statistical significance.

Conclusions
The interrogated risk alleles did not show any significant association with insulin resistance in children in our cohort; however, the GCKR (rs780094) might be a viable candidate in larger cohorts. The lack of replication of the proposed association may point to differences in linkage disequilibrium or effect modifiers across studies.
Assessment of Motor Capacity in the Competition Period – Female Sports Games (Soccer and Rugby Sevens)
Authors: Radu Liliana-Elisabeta , Ursanu Grigore , Popescu Veronica 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In the rugby and soccer sevens, players need special motor capacities, such as aerobic and anaerobic resistance, proper force in the muscles that work during game actions, as well as speed and agility. The purpose of the papers was to assess the motor capacity in the competition period, among female athletes who practice team sports. The study comprised 26 subjects, 12 of whom activate in the female rugby team of CS Politehnica Iasi, and 14 of whom belong to the soccer team of Naviobi Iasi. Both teams are champions in their leagues. We applied the following tests: 250m run, long jump without take-off, throwing the 2kg medicine ball, 30second abdominals, and 5m back and forth run. The data obtained were interpreted in SPSS 20.0 for IBM, by applying the t test for independent samples. Results have shown a significant difference (p<0.05). Significant differences were found only for the test that measured the force of abdominal muscles for which the female rugby players scored significantly higher than the rest. In all the other tests, the mean results were similar or very close. We found that the motor experience within the game influenced the results obtained, just like general physical training; they are both important for supporting the specific effort. The tests we applied mid-competition period.
Representaciones del cuerpo. Orientación de la acción y contenido no conceptual
Authors: Murillo Lara Luis Alejandro 
Published: December 2018

¿Necesitamos representaciones del cuerpo para llevar a cabo actividades como cruzar la calle, montar en bicicleta o salir por la puerta? En este trabajo se defiende la idea de que la ejecución de este tipo de acciones involucra representaciones del cuerpo con contenido no conceptual. Primero se discuten los argumentos en contra de la noción de representación del cuerpo en la acción, para extraer sus principales consecuencias. Se propone una versión delcontenido de las representaciones del cuerpo involucradas en la acción cotidiana, y se finaliza con una discusión acerca de una objeción potencial, y con una reflexión sobre la relación entre contenido conceptual y contenido no conceptual.
Students Who Used the Library in Their First Year of University are More Likely to Graduate or Still be Enrolled After Four Years

Published: December 2018

A Review of:
Soria, K. M., Fransen, J., & Nackerud, S. (2017). The impact of academic library resources on undergraduates’ degree completion. College & Research Libraries, 78(6), 812–823. https://doi.org/10.5860/crl.78.6.812
Abstract
Objective – The researchers sought to measure the effect of accessing library resources on academic retention and graduation after four years while accounting for external factors that may influence academic outcomes.
Design – Quasi-experimental observational study.
Setting – A large public university in the Midwestern United States of America.
Subjects – 5,368 first-year, non-transfer undergraduates; an entire freshman class.
Methods – Using already collected student and library records data, the researchers grouped the population into those that had accessed one of five library resources at least once (treatment) and those who had not (control). The five treatment variables studied were circulation use, electronic resource or website access, library computer workstation logins, enrollment in open registration or course-embedded library instruction, and use of two reference services (online chat and peer research consultations).
The researchers then performed a series of propensity score matching and regression analyses to compare the treatment and control groups’ outcome measures—graduation or continued enrollment after four years. These statistical models controlled for ten covariate measures that included SAT scores, first generation status, on campus residency, college of enrollment (e.g., business, engineering, education, biological sciences, design, or food, agriculture, and natural sciences), and demographic profiles. The regressions included subset analyses of the treatment group to determine if some treatment variables were associated with better outcomes than others.
Main Results – The researchers found that students in the treatment group (n = 4,415) were 1.441 times more likely to graduate and 1.389 times more likely to still be enrolled after four years than those in the control group (n = 953). Both results were statistically significant at p < 0.01 and p < 0.001 respectively. The subset regression analyses revealed that accessing an electronic resource at least once was associated with the best graduation odds at 1.924 times (p < 0.001) and the best continued enrollment odds at 1.450 times (p < 0.001). Students who had accessed computer workstations and either of the two reference services studied were no more likely to have graduated or still been enrolled after four years than those who had not (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05).
Conclusion – Accessing library services during the first year of university is associated with improved academic outcomes after four years. More research is needed to accurately measure this impact for methodological reasons. Libraries should document contact with students as much as possible for later assessment.

A novel series of copper(II) derivatives of bis(pyrimidin-2-ylthio)- and bis(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-ylthio)alkane of general formula [CuxCly(L)z]n {x = 1, y = 2, z = 1, L = ptm (1), pte (2), dptm (4), dpte (5), dpth (6); x = 2, y = 4, z = 3, L = pth (3) were tested for antimicrobial activity. These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy (IR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Complex-4, 5 and 6 have the metal at the center of a square planar geometry and in complex-1, 2 and 3 the metal is at the center a square pyramidal geometry. The structure of complex-4, determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, shows this compound as an oligomer with one-dimensional chain in zigzag conformation. The high average molecular mass (Mw) of these copper(II) complexes confirms their oligomeric character. Although the free ligands were inactive agaisnt the microorganisms tested, the copper(II) derivatives showed good antifungal and antibacterial inhibition against C. albicans, C. tropicalis, S. aureus and E. coli, more effective than Nystatin and Norfloxacin.doi: https://doi.org/10.18540/2446941602022016001
