Self Assessment of the Social Influence of Young People and Their Attitudes Towards Change
Authors: Radošević Tanja , Bulatović Goran , Bulatović Ljiljana 
Published: April 2018

This paper examines the attitudes of young people in Serbia, according to the possibilities for their own social activism and participation in social change in which Serbia is already deeply involved, i.e. it examines social and personal values of young people and their correlation to their readiness to adopt to change. Young people are chosen precisely because they will be custom holders of these changes, i.e. their driving force. Serbian youth is burdened with many problems: unsatisfied with their own financial situation, they struggle to include themselves in the labor market, they are extending their education and rely financially on their parents. Our research has shown that young people do not believe enough in the strength of their own influence in society, and that they were visibly disappointed in institutions of society as a whole. Hypothesis One (H1) of this research – that there is a statistically significant correlation between attitudes towards change and social and personal values of young people in Serbia – has been confirmed, while Hypothesis Two (H2) of this research – that there is a statistically significant difference in the attitudes of young people towards social values, our society, and changes within it, depending on socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents – has been partially confirmed.

Authors: Al-Mahrouqi Munira Mohammed , MacDonald David Allan , Vicenzino Bill , Smith Michelle Dawn 
Published: April 2018

Study Design Systematic review with meta-analysis. Background Lower-limb osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with pain and reduced function. Most research focuses on hip and knee OA- related impairments; consequently, impairments that characterize ankle OA are not well understood. Objective To systematically review available evidence of physical impairments in individuals with ankle OA. Methods A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted from their inception to July 2017. Studies were screened using predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Studies that compared physical measures (excluding gait) between individuals with ankle OA and healthy controls or the unaffected ankle were included. Two reviewers rated studies for quality. Meta-analyses with random effects were conducted when appropriate. Results Of 4565 identified studies (563 participants), 8 satisfied the inclusion criteria and 3 studies were included in meta-analyses. All studies evaluated a range of impairments at end-stage OA, and exhibited poor reporting of missing data, assessor blinding, and measurement validity. Meta-analyses revealed large impairments of ankle sagittal plane motion and strength. Evidence from single studies indicated large deficits of ankle frontal plane motion and strength, talar translation and rotation on arthrometry, balance, and electromyography of ankle joint muscles. There were also abnormal bony alignments and greater fatty infiltrate in all calf muscle compartments. Conclusion The results of this literature review suggest significant ankle motion, strength, and functional impairments in individuals with ankle OA. The strength of the conclusions is limited, due to the small number and methodological limitations of published studies. Level of Evidence Symptom prevalence, level 1a.

Study Design Observational, prospective cohort. Background Musculoskeletal pain is a common reason to seek health care, and earlier nonpharmacological treatment and enhancement of personalized care options are 2 high-priority areas. Validating concise assessment tools is an important step toward establishing better care pathways. Objectives To determine the predictive validity of Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome (OSPRO) tools for individuals with neck, low back, shoulder, or knee pain. Methods A convenience sample (n = 440) was gathered by Orthopaedic Physical Therapy-Investigator Network clinics (n = 9). Participants completed demographic, clinical, and comorbidity questionnaires and the OSPRO tools, and were followed for 12-month outcomes in pain intensity, region-specific disability, quality of life, and comorbidity change. Analyses predicted these 12-month outcomes with models that included the OSPRO review-of-systems (OSPRO-ROS) and yellow flag (OSPRO-YF) tools and planned covariates (accounting for comorbidities and established demographic and clinical factors). Results The 10-item OSPRO-YF tool (baseline and 4-week change score) consistently added to predictive models for 12-month pain intensity, region-specific disability, and quality of life. The 10-item OSPRO-ROS tool added to a predictive model for quality of life (mental summary score), and 13 additional items of the OSPRO-ROS+ tool added to prediction of 12-month comorbidity change. Other consistent predictors included age, race, income, previous episode of pain in same region, comorbidity number, and baseline measure for the outcome of interest. Conclusion The OSPRO-ROS and OSPRO-YF tools statistically improved prediction of multiple 12-month outcomes. The additional variance explained was small, and future research is necessary to determine whether these tools can be used as measurement adjuncts to improve management of musculoskeletal pain.

The added effect of cabergoline to metformin on serum hormones and rate and regularity of menstruation in women with Polycystic ovary syndrome
Authors: Matrood Rana Hatem , Abdulhussain Alaq Saeed 
Published: April 2018

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an important cause of menstrual irregularities and infertility in women. Management approaches are variable and share in common the objectives of improving menstrual irregularities, hormonal disturbances, associated clinical features, and fertility. Cabergoline has been suggested to be effective in reducing some adverse effect associated with PCOS; however, sufficient controversy existed that permitted the conduction of the current study. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of adding Cabergoline to the standard mode of treatment (metformin) in a cohort of women with PCOS, on serum hormone levels, BMI, and menstrual irregularities. The present case-control study included 100 women diagnosed as having a polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) according to clinical, ultrasonic and hormonal bases. They were divided into two groups; the first group included 50 PCOS women received metformin treatment for 4 months’ duration and served as control group whereas the second group included 50 PCOS women who were given cabergoline in addition to metformin for 4 months’ duration and served as a study group. Both types of treatment, with or without cabergoline, resulted in highly significant reduction in mean weight in both groups (P<0.001), highly significant reduction in mean serum prolactin in both groups (P<0.001), highly significant reduction in mean serum testosterone in both groups (P<0.001) and highly significant reduction in mean serum DHEAS in both groups (P<0.001); however cabergoline was more effective in reducing mean serum prolactin, 10.20 ±1.92 ng/ml versus 32.20 ±1.79 ng/ml (P<0.001) and improved menstrual irregularities more efficiently. Addition of cabergoline lowers serum prolactin more significantly than metformin alone has improved menstrual irregularity more significantly.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate in the last twenty years the remuneration model of Brazilian health system for the radiotherapy trying to demonstrate that the current model does not take into consideration relevant variables to adequate and better it.
Methods: This observational study included the collected data of the budget and the number of radiotherapy procedures performed between 1995-2015 by the Ministry of Brazilian health. The model was tested to detected any relationship with the cancer incidence and inflation. The variables were tested for a linear, cubic, exponential and logarithmic relationship. To measure the power of the association between the variables the R-square was calculated with an R value > 0.75 and a p-value < 0.05 considered significant.
Results: A linear increase as in the number of procedures (R=0.94 e p<0.05) as in the total of radiotherapy budget (R= 0.82 e p<0.05) was detected in the last 20 years. Since 1995, it has occurred an increase of the spendings for the Ministry of Brazilian health with the number of RT procedures. In the last twenty years, the number of RT procedures and the RT budget increased around 4.5 and 7.5 times. Except in 2010, in all other years, the budget was increased in the total value and no in the unit value of the procedure. There was not any relationship between the cancer incidence (p>0.05) or inflation (p>0.05) with the increased spending. There was a deficit of R$ 90 million corrected by the accumulated inflation in 5 years and about R$ 350 million in 20 years.
Conclusion: In the last 20 year, the ministry of health increased as the quantity of RT procedures as the budget for the RT. The spending with RT was constant and linear during the period. However, the model does not attend the needings of Brazilian’s population, because this model does not take into consideration the cancer incidence, inflation and also because the increase in the value does not give in the RT procedure.

Published: April 2018

Organic pollutants along with heavy metals and organic metal compounds may cause abnormal changes in physical and chemical parameters (acidity, alkalinity, salinity, color, smell and taste) of aquatic ecosystems and are among the serious threats of environmental health, especially the water resources. In this study, the effect of titanium dioxide photocatalyst with different concentrations (50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 mg/l) on the simultaneous removal of phenol and heavy metal (chromium) from aqueous solution of the closed system was investigated. In order to determine the optimal concentrations of photocatalyst, all the tests were conducted in pH =7, using ultraviolet light with 100 watt power. The highest rate of phenol and chromium removal was observed at concentration of 100 mg/ml which was equal to 72.3% and 67.2%, respectively. Study of the reaction kinetics showed that the reactions of phenol and chromium removal were zero and first-order, respectively.

Published: April 2018

This study was aimed to use Cellulose dusts (CD) produced in drying section of paper mills of paper making industry as a potential adsorbent to remove methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solution. The adsorbent was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and X-ray Diffraction. The influences of the effective parameters including pH solution, adsorbent dosage, initial MB concentration, and contact time were optimized by CCD which stands for central composite design. The influence of these parameters on the adsorption capacity was analyzed using the batch process. The accuracy of the equation that is produced by CCD was affirmed by the variance analysis and also by calculating the correlation coefficient that connects the predicted and the empirical values of the percentage of removed MB dye. Maximum removal percentage of MB dye (98.05 %) which obtained at pH 9.84, adsorbent dosage 4.38 g L-1, MB concentration 75.50 g L-1 and time 208.13 min. Freundlich, Temkin, Harkins-Jura and Langmuir isotherms are used to analyze the empirical data. Results revealed that the data is in a satisfying agreement with the Freundlich isotherm (R2= 0.99). Pseudo-first order, Pseudo-second-order, Elovich and Intraparticle diffusion models were used to fit the kinetic data and it is found out that MB dye’s adsorption onto CD has a good agreement with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The results showed that CD can be an efficient and low-cost adsorbent for methylene blue adsorption.

Authors: Mo Xiuxian 
Published: April 2018

Purpose: Study the specific application effect of multi-dimensional and three-dimensional teaching in Geriatric Nursing teaching in the context of mass entrepreneurship and innovation. Methods: Respectively select 80 2015 nursing undergraduates and 80 2014 nursing undergraduates in our school as the research object of the experimental group and the control group. In terms of Geriatric Nursing teaching, nursing students in the control group adopt traditional classroom teaching methods to carry out, while students in the experimental group adopt multi-dimensional and three-dimensional teaching in the context of mass entrepreneurship and innovation. Then observe and compare the geriatric nursing knowledge scoring as well as theory and practice assessment results in the two groups taught with different methods. Results: It's obvious that the scoring of nursing students in the experimental group is higher than those in the control group in respect of geriatric nursing knowledge, and statistical significance exists in the between-group differences (P < 0.05). The nursing students in the experimental group perform obviously better than those in the control group in terms of the results of theory, practice and comprehensive assessment as well as total score, and statistical significance exists in the between-group differences (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Implementing Geriatric Nursing teaching for higher education nursing undergraduates with multi-dimensional and three-dimensional teaching in the context of mass entrepreneurship and innovation can remarkably improve nursing students' cognitive level in geriatric nursing as well as their mastery degree of theoretical, practical and comprehensive knowledge. Thus, the multi-dimensional and three-dimensional teaching mode in the context of mass entrepreneurship and innovation makes 80 2015 nursing undergraduates in our school direct beneficiaries, which could be popularized and applied in medical colleges.

OBJECTIVEThe choice of graft material for duraplasty in decompressions of Chiari malformations remains a matter of debate. The authors present a detailed technique for harvesting ligamenta nuchae, as well as the clinical and radiographic outcomes of this technique, in a case series.METHODSThe authors conducted a retrospective study evaluating the outcomes of Chiari malformation type I decompression and duraplasty in children aged 0–18 years at a single institution from 2013 to 2016. They collected both intraoperative and postoperative variables and compared them qualitatively to published data.RESULTSDuring the study period, the authors performed 25 Chiari malformation decompressions with ligamentum nuchae graft duraplasties. Of the 25 patients, 10 were females, and the mean age at surgery was 8.6 years (range 13 months to 18 years). The median operative time was 163 minutes (IQR 152–187 minutes), with approximately 10 minutes needed by a resident surgeon to harvest the graft. The mean length of stay was 3 nights (range 2–6 nights), and the mean follow-up was 12.6 months (range 0.5–43.5 months). One patient (4%) developed a CSF leak that was repaired using an oversewing patch. There were no postoperative pseudomeningoceles or infections. Of the 19 patients presenting with a syrinx, imaging showed improvement in 10 (53%) and 8 (42%) had stable syrinx size on imaging. Of 16 patients presenting with a symptomatic Chiari malformation, 14 (87.5%) experienced resolution of symptoms and in 1 (4%) symptoms remained the same. One patient (4%) presented with worsening syrinx and symptoms 1.5 months after initial surgery and underwent repeat decompression.CONCLUSIONSThe authors describe a series of clinical and imaging outcomes of patients who underwent Chiari malformation decompression and duraplasty with a harvested ligamentum nuchae. The rates of postoperative CSF leak are similar to established techniques of autologous and artificial grafts, with similarly successful outcomes. Further study will be needed with larger patient cohorts to more directly compare duraplasty graft outcomes.
