Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background

Early Intervention (EI) is a federally mandated, state-administered system of care for children with developmental delays and disabilities under the age of three. Gaps exist in the process of accessing EI through pediatric primary care, and low rates of EI access are well documented and disproportionately affect poor and minority children. The aims of this paper are to examine child characteristics associated with gaps in EI (1) referral, (2) access and (3) service use. To our knowledge, this is the first study to leverage linked safety net health system pediatric primary care and EI records data to follow EI-referred children longitudinally to understand EI service use gaps from EI referral to EI service utilization.

Methods

In a retrospective cohort design (14,710 children with developmental disability or delay), we linked pediatric primary care records between a large, integrated safety net health system in metro Denver and its corresponding EI program (2014-2016). Using adjusted marginal effects [ME, (95% CI)], we estimated gaps in EI referral, access, and service type (i.e., physical [PT], occupational [OT], speech therapy [ST] and developmental intervention [DI]). Analyses accounted for child characteristics including socio-demographics, diagnosis, condition severity, and baseline function.

Results

Only 18.7% of EI-eligible children (N=2,726) received a referral; 26% of those (N=722) received services for a net enrollment rate of 5% among EI-eligible children. Having the most severe developmental condition was positively associated with EI referral [ME=0.334 [0.249, 0.420]) and Individualized Family Services Plan (IFSP) receipt [ME=0.156 [0.088, 0.223]). Children less likely to be EI-referred were Black, non-Hispanic (BNH) [ME=-0.029 (-0.054, -0.004)] and had a diagnosed condition ([ME=-0.046 (-0.087, -0.005)]. Children with a diagnosis and those with higher income were more likely to receive PT or OT. Higher baseline cognitive and adaptive skills were associated with lower likelihood of PT [ME=-0.029 (-0.054, -0.004)], OT [ME=-0.029 (-0.054, -0.004)], and ST [ME=-0.029 (-0.054, -0.004)].

Conclusions

We identified and characterized gaps in EI referral, access, and service use in an urban safety-net population of children with high rates of developmental delay. Interventions are needed to improve integrated systems of care affecting primary care and EI processes and coordination.
A population-level examination of the magnitude of relationship between physical activity and academic achievement

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background

Although physical activity has traditionally been thought to compete with academic activities in terms of academic performance outcomes, more recent studies have suggested that the brain health benefits of exercise could in theory compensate for this. However, to date no adequately powered prospective studies have attempted to reconcile these two competing possibilities. The objective of this study is to determine the direction and magnitude of the association between physical activity and academic performance in a large prospective sample of adolescents.

Methods

Linear regression mixed models with random intercepts and multinomial ordinal generalized estimating equations were employed to analyze the relationship between measures of physical activity and academic performance from the COMPASS study (N=9,898 linked participant data cases from year 2 (2013-2014) to year 4 (2015-2016)).

Results

The linear relationships between minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity and academic performance (English: r= -.047, p<.000; Math: r= -.026, p=0.008) as well as meeting the national physical activity guidelines and academics performance (English: est =-0.052, p=.004; Math: est = -0.052, p=.028) were negative and trivial in magnitude. Organized sport participation showed slight positive associations with academic performance, but these were also of trivial magnitude.

Conclusions

Physical activity does not predict academic achievement prospectively in this population sample; findings suggest no net cost or clear benefit in relation to academic performance. Advocacy for physical activity programming for adolescent populations may best be undertaken with reference to lack of net academic performance cost, rather than presence of benefit.

Abstract
Background: Creating a scalable computational infrastructure to analyze the wealth of information contained in data repositories is difficult due to significant barriers in organizing, extracting and analyzing relevant data. Shared data science infrastructures like Boa_g is needed to efficiently process and parse data contained in large data repositories. The main features of Boa_g are inspired from existing languages for data intensive computing and can easily integrate data from biological data repositories.

Results: As a proof of concept, Boa for genomics, Boa_g, has been implemented to analyze RefSeq’s 153,848 annotation (GFF) and assembly (FASTA) file metadata. Boa_g provides a massive improvement from existing solutions like Python and MongoDB, by utilizing a domain-specific language that uses Hadoop infrastructure for a smaller storage footprint that scales well and requires fewer lines of code. We execute scripts through Boa_g to answer questions about the genomes in RefSeq. We identify the largest and smallest genomes deposited, explore exon frequencies for assemblies after 2016, identify the most commonly used bacterial genome assembly program, and address how animal genome assemblies have improved since 2016. Boa_g databases provide a significant reduction in required storage of the raw data and a significant speed up in its ability to query large datasets due to automated parallelization and distribution of Hadoop infrastructure during computations.

Conclusions: In order to keep pace with our ability to produce biological data, innovative methods are required. The Shared Data Science Infrastructure, Boa_g, provides researchers a greater access to researchers to efficiently explore data in new ways. We demonstrate the potential of a the domain specific language Boa_g using the RefSeq database to explore how deposited genome assemblies and annotations are changing over time. This is a small example of how Boa_g could be used with large biological datasets.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of epiretinal membrane removal in patients with good best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) for improving visual function and quality of life (QOL).
Methods: This prospective case study compared 37 subjects with preoperative BCVA≦logMAR0.046 (Good group) to 35 patients with logMAR BCVA 0.52–0.10 (Moderate group) at 3 and 6 months. Linear mixed-effect models were used for statistical analysis. The primary outcome was the horizontal metamorphopsia score (MH) at 6 months postoperatively (post-6 M), while secondary outcomes were postoperative BCVA, vertical metamorphopsia score (MV), aniseikonia, stereopsis and central foveal thickness. In the Good group, QOL was assessed using the National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25 (NEI VFQ-25) at 6 and 12 months.
Results: MH was significantly improved at post-3 M and post-6 M in the both groups but there were no significant differences between the two groups. MV showed no improvement at the final observation in either group. LogMAR BCVA was significantly improved at post-6 M in the Good group, which had significantly better vision than the Moderate group. Preoperative vertical and horizontal aniseikonia scores remained unchanged in the Good group at post-6 M but worsened in the Moderate group. The NEI VFQ-25 score improved in the Good group, reflecting improved general health, general vision, and mental health.
Conclusions: Early epiretinal surgery was effective for MH, BCVA, aniseikonia, and QOL.

The use of ultraviolet radiation in the treatment of milk and other liquid foods is a very promising field of study since it reduces their bacterial load. It is rarely used to increase the vitamin D content and modify the protein and fatty acid composition of milk. The paper describes how different parameters of ultraviolet radiation influence such characteristics of raw and pasteurized milk as the mass fraction of total protein, nonprotein nitrogen content, active and titratable acidity, general bacterial load (QMA&OAMO), fatty acid composition, and vitamin D content. Low-pressure gas-discharge lamps were used to treat a 400 µm moving layer of milk with ultraviolet radiation. The radiation time, its doses, and the milk flow rate changed in the ranges of 5–25 min, 5.1–102 mJ/cm2, and 0.04453- 0.13359 m3/s, respectively. We identified optimal radiation ranges that lead to both a lower microorganism content and a higher vitamin D content. Our study also determined specific correlations in the mutual changes of the given parameters. The treatment ranges did not produce any significant changes in other physico-chemical properties of milk. We also found that vitamin D was synthesized in raw and pasteurized milk in a similar way. Moreover, there was an insignificant decrease in the vitamin D content in milk treated with ultraviolet radiation during storage for up to 48 hours. On the whole, the results indicate that the treatment of milk with ultraviolet radiation in the dosage range from 5.1 to 102 mJ/cm2 has a complex effect on the total bacterial load (QMA&OAMO) and vitamin D content,
whereas it has almost no effect on the protein and fatty acid composition.
Effectiveness of check dam and percolation pond with percolation wells for artificial groundwater recharge using groundwater models
Authors: Abraham Marykutty , Mohan S. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractPopulation growth and higher living standards have resulted in ever-increasing demand for water. For the present study natural recharge was computed from a water balance model and daily water level fluctuations were measured to study the increase in water level due to artificial recharge. Numerical models were developed using MODFLOW to analyze the feasibility of different artificial recharge arrangements such as check dam and percolation pond with percolation wells individually and in combination and evaluate the effectiveness of the structures in recharging the aquifer. The maximum increase in water level was found to be 3.46 m, 2.54 m and 4.7 m respectively for the check dam, percolation pond with three percolation wells and combined structure arrangement after 2 years of artificial recharge. The zone of influence was obtained as 400 m, 600 m and 500 m respectively for the check dam, percolation pond and combined structure system. Water level fluctuations also proved the same. Water level increase obtained from the natural recharge study was only of the order of 0.2 m. Artificial recharge is found to be very effective for sustainable development of water resources and the percolation pond was found to be the most appropriate structure for groundwater recharge for the study area.

Data from Karyadi hospital showed new visitor complained delay in verbal of their children. Role model and behavior from parents is needed for childrenâ€™s growth, because children are remodeling from their nearest environment. This research aimed was Â to know the correlation parent parenting styleâ€™s with the childrenâ€™s language development in preschooler. This research was quantitative research uses observational analytic method with case control approach. Population is preschooler 3-5 years old in Semarang. Simple random sampling technique was used for getting 176 sample. Parenting style questionnaire was used for measuring parenting style and Denver II for delay in language development. Bivariate correlation is analyzed using Cramerâ€™s V test. Most of the research respondents were children aged 3 years 79 (44.9%) and 88 preschooler (50%) experienced normal language. While parents were 28 years old 76 (43.2%), 156 (88.6%) parents were high school education, and parenting democratic styles 106 (60.2%), authoritarian 66 (37.5%) and permissive 4 (2.3%). Bivariate analysis with Cramer's V shows p value <0.001 and r value of 0.488. Bivariate Analysis using Cramerâ€™s V showed p value <0,001 and r value is 0,488. There are correlation between parenting style and language development in preschooler. The strength of correlation is medium correlation. It suggested that Nurses can increase promotion efforts to increase parental knowledge about the importance of parenting for the language development of preschoolers.
<B>BEHAVIORAL RESPONSE OF THE MARA</B>(<I>Dolichotis patagonum</i>) </B>TO FOOD DENSITY IN ARGENTINA</B>
Authors: Gatica Ailin , Mangione Antonio M. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractOptimal foraging models predict animals will consume more food from patches of higher initial densities. They also predict that when food is scarce in the environment, animals will have greater foraging efforts in the patch and hence shorter vigilance times. As an anti-predator behavior an increase in group size is correlated with a reduction of individual vigilance time. We evaluated Dolichotis patagonum´s (mara) behaviors: feeding, vigilance, walking, and others (sniffing, grooming, resting) in relation to different food densities (100 g, 70 g and 40 g of alfalfa pellet, mixed with 5kg of sifted soil, offered in wooden box) in a field experiment by using camera traps. As a novelty, maras showed nocturnal activity. They also showed an increase in vigilance time when they were in pairs compared to when they were alone, by alternating feeding and vigilance behaviors. When food density changed, no variation in vigilance was observed and food intake only changed between 100 g and the other two food densities offered. We propose that: first, maras are cathemeral animals. Second, mara´s knowledge about patches is critical to assess patch quality. Finally, alternating feeding and vigilance when in pairs, could be and efficient anti-predator strategy in environments with high predator pressure.Key words: activity pattern, camera traps, Dolichotis patagonum, food consumption, San Luis, vigilance. ResumenLos modelos de forrajeo óptimo predicen que los animales van a consumir más alimento en aquellos parches con mayores densidades iniciales. Además, predicen que cuando el alimento sea escaso, los animales tendrán mayores esfuerzos de forrajeo en cada parche y por tanto menores tiempos de vigilancia. La vigilancia individual también disminuirá al aumentar el tamaño de grupo. En este experimento de campo evaluamos, a través de cámaras trampa, el comportamiento de: alimentación, vigilancia, desplazamiento y otros (ej.: olfatear, acicalarse, descansar) de Dolichotis patagonum (mara) en relación a diferentes densidades de alimento (100 g, 70 g y 40 g de pelets de alfalfa mezclado con arena cernida dentro de cajones de madera). Como dato novedoso se observó actividad nocturna. También se observó un aumento en la vigilancia cuando estaban en pareja que al estar solas, dado que alternaban la vigilancia y la alimentación. Entre las densidades de alimento no se observó variación en la vigilancia y la ingesta de alimento cambió solo entre 100 g y las otras dos densidades ofrecidas. Por lo cual proponemos que, primero, la mara es un animal catemeral. Segundo, el conocimiento que las maras tienen de los parches es crítico para evaluar su calidad. Finalmente, la alternancia de comportamientos en la pareja podría ser una estrategia anti-predatoria en ambientes con altas presión de depredación.Palabras clave: patrón de actividad, cámaras trampas, consumo de alimento, Dolichotis patagonum, vigilancia, San Luis.

Introdução: Na prática hospitalar e ambulatorial, um elevado número de solicitações médicas para intervenção fisioterapêutica em crianças. A fisioterapia respiratória é muito vasta na prática profissional e atua no tratamento de pacientes de todas as idades com distúrbios pulmonares agudos ou crônicos. Pode ser realizada em ambientes hospitalares, no pré e pós-operatório de diversas cirurgias, em unidade de terapia intensiva, clínicas, ambulatórios, centro de assistência e reabilitação e até mesmo na casa do paciente quando se fizer necessário. O tratamento fisioterápico a estes pacientes se faz através de técnicas manuais e instrumentais. Objetivos: Este estudo objetivou descrever as características, os diagnósticos, objetivos e condutas fisioterapêuticas dos pacientes internados na enfermaria pediátrica do Hospital Santa Terezinha no primeiro semestre de 2013. Materiais e métodos: Os dados foram coletados por meio das evoluções fisioterapêuticas da Enfermaria Pediátrica, durante o primeiro semestre de 2013. Foram analisadas 36 evoluções fisioterapêuticas, traçando idade, diagnóstico, objetivos e condutas fisioterapêuticas. Resultados: Constatou- e que o principal diagnóstico dos pacientes internados na enfermaria pediátrica era pneumonia (63,88%). O objetivo fisioterapêutico mais aplicado foi a higiene brônquica (88,88%). E a conduta fisioterapêutica mais usada foi a tapotagem (91,66%). Percebe-se que, diante dos dados obtidos neste estudo, a principal causa de internações de crianças com idade média de um ano e dez meses na enfermaria pediátrica é a pneumonia. Consequentemente, o objetivo fisioterapêutico aplicado foi a higiene brônquica com as técnicas de tapotagem e aceleração de fluxo expiratório, por estas serem técnicas manuais usadas frequentemente em crianças com essa faixa etária. Conclusão: Sendo assim, o perfil de paciente atendidos pela fisioterapia no Hospital Santa Terezinha está de acordo com as características comumente encontrados em outros hospitais.

Percepções do ser adulto sobre o evento da deficiência física: um estudo fenomenológico
Authors: Oliva Daniela Regina Sposito Dias , Portella Marilene Rodrigues 
Published: June 2019

Introdução: a deficiência física é um fenômeno que acomete indivíduos em todas as faixas etárias, porém cabe lembrar que embora envelhecimento e deficiência não sejam sinônimos, a população em geral está a envelhecer, com um risco associado de somatória de deficiências. Conhecer as percepções do ser adulto sobre o evento da deficiência física se torna um desafio a ser enfrentado, e cabe ao fisioterapeuta apreender melhor essa dimensão de seres que vivenciam o impacto de uma lesão ou doença. Objetivo: compreender as percepções de indivíduos adultos com deficiência física adquirida sobre o ser deficiente e o processo de viver e envelhecer, sob o prisma da fenomenologia. Método: participaram quatro pessoas com deficiência física adquirida há mais de dois anos, com idade superior a 36 anos. Este estudo fundamenta-se na Fenomenologia, em especial nos apontamentos de Maurice Merleau-Ponty, cuja ênfase é dada à experiência corporal e à consciência corporal do mundo sensível. Para as entrevistas realizadas a domicílio, utilizou-se de um guia norteador, e para análise dos dados foi utilizado os passos de Giorgi. Resultados: compreenderam três essências acerca do evento desencadeador da deficiência: a) Mobilização acerca das vivências pessoais, b) o fato, a notícia e os seus desdobramentos, c) a dependência... quando o corpo habita o mundo pela mão do outro. Conclusão: o método fenomenológico ancorado no pensamento de Merleau-Ponty possibilitou a compreensão da deficiência por meio das percepções do ser adulto sobre o evento da deficiência física. Enquanto fisioterapeutas, é preciso conhecer e explorar como o ser deficiente se sente com esse corpo, conhecendo as significações que ele atribui ao corpo e, por meio dele, ao mundo em que vivemos. Concluímos esse estudo apresentando indivíduos com deficiência física como sujeitos-seres e não somente como pessoas de corpos deficientes.
