Changing practice using recovery‐focused care in acute mental health settings to reduce aggression: A qualitative study
Authors: Lim Eric , Wynaden Dianne , Heslop Karen 
Published: July 2018

AbstractConsumer aggression is common in acute mental health settings and can result in direct or vicarious psychological or physical impacts for both consumers and health professionals. Using recovery‐focused care, nurses can implement a range of strategies to reduce aggression and empower consumers to self‐regulate their behaviour, when faced with challenging situations, such as admission to the acute care setting. Currently, there is limited literature to direct nurses in the use of recovery‐focused care and how it can be used to reduce consumer aggression. Twenty‐seven mental health nurses participated in this study. The constructivist grounded theory method guided data collection and analysis to identify categories that accurately described participants’ experiences. Five categories emerged that described how nurses can implement recovery‐focused care clinically to reduce the risk of consumer aggression: (i) identify the reason for the behaviour before responding; (ii) being sensitive to the consumer's trigger for aggression; (iii) focus on the consumer's strengths and support, not risks; (iv) being attentive to the consumer's needs; and (v) reconceptualize aggression as a learning opportunity. As the importance of promoting consumer recovery is now embedded in mental health policies internationally, nurses need to prioritize the application of recovery‐focused care clinically. Further research to provide evidence‐based outcomes supporting the use of recovery‐focused care is needed.
Does Policy Instability Matter for International Equity Markets?
Authors: Lam Swee‐Sum , Zhang Huiping , Zhang Weina 
Published: July 2018

AbstractWe test whether policy risk is systematically priced in equity returns across 49 countries from 1995 to 2013. We construct two global policy risk factors based on the ratings from international country risk guide. They capture the policy risk from government instability (GOVLMH) and the quality of bureaucracy (BURLMH). Both factors are significantly and positively related to equity returns and the BURLMH factor carries a monthly risk premium of 65 basis points. A country with weaker economic and institutional conditions has more risk exposure to the BURLMH factor whereas a country with high democracy has more risk exposure to the GOVLMH factor. Overall, our study reveals the importance and complexity of policy risk in international equity markets.
Viewing dressing evaluation through a pragmatic lens: The application of Dewey's experimentalism in the development of evidence for dressing selection
Authors: Pagnamenta Fania , Lhussier Monique 
Published: July 2018

AbstractRationale, aims, and objectivesThe aim of this paper is to (1) summarize the challenges with developing evidence for dressing selection in wound care, (2) discuss the limiting influence that the Evidence‐Based Practice movement has had in this field, and (3) discuss the opportunities offered by Dewey's theory of experimentalism as a pragmatic solution to develop a structured body of evidence.FindingsWhilst the number of dressings available on the market continue to proliferate, limited progress has taken place to develop a methodology for dressing evaluation that is relevant to clinical practice. It is proposed that experimentalism can be operationalized with a mixed‐methods approach that may include the following: (1) medical histories and patient's stories; (2) participant observation and informal interviews; (3) a comparative study between a new dressing and standard care; (4) a patient's satisfaction survey; (5) a staff survey; (6) a cost examination; (7) an evaluation of the packaging and procurement route; and finally (8) a clinical meeting to triangulate the data and reach a consensus.ConclusionExperimentalism offers a framework for the construction of evidence used for dressing selection. Central to this concept is the integration of experience to the data collected. The context of the evaluation has equal weight to the data thus collected.

Published: July 2018

AbstractThis study determined the incidence, virulence factors, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Vibrio spp. in live oysters (Crassostrea gigas) marketed in Korea. A total of 41 Vibrio spp. isolates including 23 Vibrio alginolyticus, 11 Vibrio fluvialis and 7 Vibrio antiquarius were isolated and identified. All Vibrio spp. isolates showed DNase, amylase, lipase, phospholipase, and gelatinase activities. For slime production, caseinase and β‐hemolysis isolates were positive in 68%, 78%, and 56%, respectively. PCR‐based assays showed that V. alginolyticus expressed collagenase, tlh, toxR, ctxAB, and VPI virulence genes in 100%, 100%, 78%, 39%, and 48% of the isolates, respectively. All V. fluvialis strains harbored hupO gene while 64% and 55% isolates were positive for toxR and vfh. Besides, V. antiquarius strains were positive for toxR, tlh, ctxAB, and VPI virulence genes in 57%, 86%, 43%, and 43% of the isolates, respectively. Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) index calculated with disk diffusion test results revealed that 54% of the isolates were having MAR indices >0.2. Our results reveal that consumption of raw oysters may cause potential risk for public health owing to the Vibrio spp. comprising putative virulence properties and antimicrobial resistance.Practical applicationsThe genus Vibrio are most commonly associated with seafood‐borne diseases. Oysters are one of the most preferred seafood in Korea as well as throughout the world. However, it may harbor pathogenic Vibrio spp., can cause foodborne illnesses if consumed as raw or undercooked product. In this study, the prevalence and characteristics of Vibrio spp. isolated from oysters in Korean markets was investigated. Among a total of 41 isolates presumptively identified by biochemical tests as vibrios, the incidence of three Vibrio species was confirmed by gyrB sequencing. Most of the isolates showed positive results for pathogenicity tests and virulence gene tests indicating the putative virulence of Vibrio spp. Susceptibility for 14 antimicrobials were tested using disk diffusion method. All the isolates were resistant to ampicillin while resistance to some other antimicrobials were also observed. According to these results, it is worthwhile to raise consumer awareness that consumption of oysters from markets in Korea may pose a risk of Vibrio infection.
Safety assessment and microbiological quality of homemade soy‐cheese in Nigeria
Authors: Adepehin Jemima Omonigho 
Published: July 2018

AbstractFermented soy‐cheese is a popularly consumed food product in Nigeria. Its' production is typically homemade, though it is generally retailed for commercial purpose. To investigate the microbiological quality and possible factors contributing to contamination at each phase of its' production, soy‐beans, soy‐milk, and the resultant soy‐cheese were subjected to standard microbiological analyses. Candida sake and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were identified in soy‐milk and soy‐cheese. Raw materials and equipment were identified as sources of contamination. Presence of Staphylococcus spp. and Salmonella spp. were reported in the soy‐bean and soy‐milk. The occurrence of pathogen‐indicating microorganisms was observed in all the production stages. Hence, the consumption of freshly prepared soy‐cheese may not be encouraged except proper handling practices are incorporated during its' production process. This calls for sensitization and training of local producers to curb possible outbreak of foodborne disease.Practical applicationsMicrobiological analyses of soy‐cheese production process will help to recognize possible points of contamination. This will also help food safety/health organizations in educating small scale industries as well as home‐based soy‐cheese producers on the production phase(s) that could be nodes of contamination. Additionally, proper hygiene practices during handling could prevent possible outbreak of foodborne disease(s) through the consumption of such products.

Published: July 2018

SummaryBackgroundLipomas are very common benign neoplasms, which constitute 99% of all adipose‐derived tumors. Main treatment option includes surgical excision, which is unacceptable for a number of patients seeking ways to improve esthetic appearance of their skin. Therefore, alternative treatment options are being sought.ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy of lipoma removal using a Class III CE‐marked device (Aqualyx™) administered as a high‐frequency ultrasound‐guided injection (intralipotherapy).MethodsA total of 17 lipomas were treated. The procedure involved a high‐frequency ultrasound‐guided injection. A maximum of 3 injections per a lipoma were performed. High‐frequency ultrasound was used for assessing the size of lipomas and monitoring treatment‐induced changes to the lipomas and adjacent tissue.ResultsResponse to treatment was achieved in all cases. A complete removal was achieved in 70.59% of lipomas. The remaining 29.41% of lipomas were not completely removed, yet significantly reduced in size.ConclusionAn injection of Aqualyx™, a CE‐marked drug, is a good noninvasive treatment of lipomas. Ultrasound guided procedure is recommended, as it ensures appropriate technique and enables monitoring treatment‐induced changes. Considering a low number of published reports of such treatment, it is crucial to continue this research.

Published: July 2018

AbstractObjectiveAcute myocarditis is accompanied by an impaired coronary microcirculation. These microcirculatory disturbances are not well defined, and data are derived from complex invasive measurements. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the inflammation‐induced microcirculatory dysfunction including its reversibility and association with markers of inflammation severity (extent of LGE on CMR imaging and laboratory markers of myocardial necrosis) using the noninvasive technique of echocardiographic CFR measurement.MethodsPatients (n = 14) with clinically suspected acute myocarditis in the absence of coronary artery disease were prospectively enrolled, and echocardiographic CFR was determined by measuring peak diastolic coronary blood flow velocity at rest (PDV1) and under adenosine‐induced hyperemia (PDV2) at baseline and 3‐month follow‐up.ResultsEight of 14 (57.1%) patients showed an impaired baseline CFR (PDV2/PDV1 < 2). These patients were characterized by higher levels of cardiac troponin T (0.55 ± 0.39 vs 0.18 ± 0.08; P = 0.008) and larger areas of LGE on CMR. At 3‐month follow‐up, CFR was normal in all patients.ConclusionA reversibly impaired coronary microcirculation is a frequent finding in acute myocarditis and is associated with markers of inflammation severity. Echocardiographic CFR measurement represents a feasible and safe method for its assessment.
Comparing Discourse Behaviors of a High‐Rated and a Low‐Rated Chinese EFL Teacher: A Systemic Functional Perspective
Authors: YANG XUEYAN , TAO XIN 
Published: July 2018

AbstractThis case study compares the discourse behaviors of 2 Chinese teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), one rated high and one rated low by their respective students. The teachers were each audio‐recorded for a total of 100 minutes during the ‘text session’ of an Intensive Reading course. Drawing on Yang's (2010) model of EFL classroom discourse developed within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics, each teacher's class was transcribed and coded in terms of the teacher's choices of (a) ways of interacting with students, (b) kinds of information exchanged during interaction, and (c) contents of the information exchanged. All instances of the two teachers’ choices were also analyzed quantitatively, which revealed their different discourse features. The high‐rated teacher takes the floor most of the time but introduces engaging information that construes a friendly ambiance, while keeping a balance among text study, language study, and life‐experience sharing. The low‐rated teacher gives students more speaking opportunities but chooses disengaging information that construes a distant relationship, while devoting his class to language study. These discourse features are described in terms of meaning patterns that are realized in lexicogrammatical forms while construing specific contextual values. The findings are discussed in relation to students’ perceptions of effective teaching, and implications for EFL teachers’ performance in classroom interaction are explored.
Homeologue‐specific expression divergence in the recently formed tetraploid Capsella bursa‐pastoris (Brassicaceae)

Published: July 2018

Summary

Following allopolyploid formation, extensive genome evolution occurs, with the eventual loss of many homeologous gene copies. Although this process of diploidization has occurred many times independently, the evolutionary forces determining the probability and rate of gene loss remain poorly understood.

Here, we conduct genome and transcriptome sequencing in a broad sample of Chinese accessions of Capsella bursa‐pastoris, a recently formed allotetraploid.

Our whole genome data reveal three groups of these accessions: an Eastern group from low‐altitude regions, a Western group from high‐altitude regions, and a much more differentiated Northwestern group. Population differentiation in total expression was limited among closely related populations; by contrast, the relative expression of the two homeologous copies closely mirrors the genome‐wide SNP divergence. Consistent with this, we observe a negative correlation between expression changes in the two homeologues. However, genes showing population genomic evidence for adaptive evolution do not show an enrichment for expression divergence between homeologues, providing no clear evidence for adaptive shifts in relative gene expression.

Overall, these patterns suggest that neutral drift may contribute to the population differentiation in the expression of the homeologues, and drive eventual gene loss over longer periods of time.

Published: July 2018

AbstractThe aim of this systematic review was to assess qualitative changes induced by fixed appliance orthodontic treatment on the subgingival microbiota. Seven databases were searched up to August 2017 for randomized and nonrandomized clinical studies assessing the effect of orthodontic appliances on the subgingival bacteria in human patients. After elimination of duplicate studies, data extraction and risk of bias assessment according to the Cochrane guidelines, random‐effects meta‐analyses of relative risks (RR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were performed. According to controlled studies, the presence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in the subgingival crevicular fluid of orthodontic patients was increased 3‐6 months after fixed appliance insertion compared to untreated patients (2 studies; RR = 15.54; 95% CI = 3.19‐75.85). There was still increased subgingival prevalence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (3 studies; RR = 3.98; 95% CI = 1.23‐12.89) and Tannerella forsythia in orthodontic patients up to 6 months after appliance removal compared to untreated patients. However, caution is warranted due to high risk of bias and imprecision. Insertion of orthodontic fixed appliances seems to be associated with a qualitative change of subgingival microbiota, which reverts to some extent back to normal in the first months after appliance removal. However, there is limited evidence on the timing and extent of these changes.

AbstractBackgroundLeft atrial appendage (LAA) functional modification in the context of pulmonary vein isolation has been a focus point of research and LAA emptying flow velocity (LAAEFV) is considered to reflect LAA contractility, stunning, and fibrosis.ObjectiveIn the present study, we sought to prospectively evaluate short‐term LAAEFV changes after radiofrequency (RF) or cryoballoon ablation in paroxysmal AF.MethodsThis was a prospective substudy of the Effect of Cryoballoon and RF Ablation on Left Atrial Function (CryoLAEF) study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02611869). Thirty patients, randomly assigned to RF or cryoablation, were prospectively followed. Transesophageal echocardiograms were performed at baseline and at 3 months postablation to measure LAAEFV.ResultsAll measurements were performed in sinus rhythm. Overall, LAAEFV was 44.2 [38.5–62.8] cm/s at baseline and was increased to 70.8 [64.8–77.6] cm/s at 3 months’ postablation (P < 0.001). Baseline LAAEFV was 52.5 [37.7–68.0] cm/s in the RF group and 42.8 [38.7–52.9] cm/s in the CryoBalloon group (P = 0.653). At 3 months, the corresponding values were 68.5 [61.9–76.6] cm/s and 73.9 [69.2–79.9] cm/s, respectively (P = 0.081 for the difference between the two groups at 3 months). The median change in LAAEFV was 11.0 [4.7–26.2] cm/s in the RF group versus 29.6 [15.8–37.0] cm/s in the CryoBalloon group (P = 0.033).ConclusionLAA function is improved after catheter ablation with RF or balloon cryoablation in patients with paroxysmal AF, evaluated while in sinus rhythm both at baseline and on follow‐up.
Exploring the Role of Nonprofits in Public Service Provision: Moving from Coproduction to Cogovernance
Authors: Cheng Yuan (Daniel) 
Published: July 2018

AbstractThis article investigates the determinants of nonprofits' involvement in cogovernance, or the planning and design of public services, using a unique data set of park‐supporting nonprofit organizations in large U.S. cities. The results indicate that nonprofits are more likely to get involved in cogovernance when they are younger, larger, and operate in communities that are more resourceful and stable. In addition, the likelihood of nonprofits' involvement in cogovernance is negatively associated with the level of social capital and government capacity to provide corresponding public services. The article points to an emerging mode of government‐nonprofit collaboration that goes beyond the production and delivery of public services. As public managers face extensive challenges in sustaining the desired level of public services, these findings have important policy implications for efforts to promote citizen participation and cross‐sector solutions to complex social problems.
Minding the children: A longitudinal study of mental state talk, theory of mind, and behavioural adjustment from the age of 3 to 10

Published: July 2018

AbstractMothers’ use of mental state talk (MST) is linked to young children’s performance on false belief tests of theory of mind (ToM) and to their behaviour in social contexts. However, little is known about MST beyond the early years. This investigation is the first to examine continuity in both mother and child MST from preschool (age 3–4 years) to middle childhood (age 10) and examines the role of early maternal MST in children’s later ToM and use of MST. We examine the novel association between MST and children’s behavioural adjustment from pre‐school into late childhood. Participants were mother–child dyads from a 7‐year longitudinal study. Measures of MST, ToM, and language were administered at home when children were 3 and 4 years old and again at the age of 10. Also at 10, behavioural adjustment was measured using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Mother and child MST were highly stable from preschool to later childhood. Early maternal MST accounted for unique variance in later child MST and behavioural adjustment at 10 years of age; children whose mothers used more MST, specifically references to cognitions, when they were 3 or 4 experienced fewer behavioural difficulties (externalising behaviour) when they were 10 years old.
The roles of receptive and productive language in children’s socioemotional development
Authors: Rose Elisabeth , Weinert Sabine , Ebert Susanne 
Published: July 2018

AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of 3‐year‐old children's language comprehension (operationalized by receptive vocabulary and grammar) and language production (operationalized by sentence production and ratings of productive language) on parent‐ and teacher‐rated cooperative behavior, physical aggression, and emotional self‐regulation over a 4‐year period. Analyses were based on a German longitudinal project including 547 typically developing children. Path models showed that receptive but not productive language significantly predicted the development of cooperative behavior when important child and family characteristics (e.g., SES, nonverbal cognitive abilities, and early cooperation at the age of 3) were controlled. In addition, we considered children's gender as a moderator and found compelling gender differences. In boys, only receptive language had an effect on all three aspects of socioemotional development. In girls, only productive language had an effect on the development of aggressive behavior and emotional self‐regulation. This result highlights the relevance of discussing the current results for boys and girls separately.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
The accuracy of computational fluid dynamic (CFD)-based heat transfer predictions have been examined of relevance to liquid cooling of IC engines at high engine loads where some nucleate boiling occurs. Predictions based on (i) the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solution and (ii) large eddy simulation (LES) have been generated. The purpose of these simulations is to establish the role of turbulence modeling on the accuracy and efficiency of heat transfer predictions for engine-like thermal conditions where published experimental data are available. A multiphase mixture modeling approach, with a volume-of-fluid interface-capturing method, has been employed. To predict heat transfer in the boiling regime, the empirical boiling correlation of Rohsenow is used for both RANS and LES. The rate of vapor-mass generation at the wall surface is determined from the heat flux associated with the evaporation phase change. Predictions via CFD are compared with published experimental data showing that LES gives only slightly more accurate temperature predictions compared to RANS but at substantially higher computational cost.
