The Use of Yoga by Physical Therapists in the United States
Authors: Wims Mary E. , McIntyre Shayla M. , York Ann , Covill Laura G. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
How physical therapists (PTs) in the United States currently use yoga in their clinical practices is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine how PTs in the United States view yoga as a physical therapy (PT) tool and how PTs use yoga therapeutically. The authors conducted a 24-item survey via electronic communications of the Geriatric, Orthopedic, Pediatric, and Women's Health Sections of the American Physical Therapy Association. Participants (n = 333) from 47 states and the District of Columbia replied. Reported use of therapeutic yoga among participants was high (70.6%). Of those participants, nearly a third use asana and pranayama only. Most participants using therapeutic yoga also include additional mindfulness-related elements such as sensory awareness, concentration/focus, and/or meditation. Most participants learned about yoga through personal experiences, with many participants citing lack of familiarity in using yoga in PT practice. Safety is the primary concern of participants when recommending yoga to patients as an independent health and wellness activity. Interdisciplinary communication between PTs, yoga therapists, and yoga teachers is warranted to address the post-discharge needs of clients. Healthcare changes have required PTs to adapt to a biopsychosocial-spiritual model (BPSS) for improved patient outcomes. Therapeutic yoga may provide an opportunity for PTs to expand their role in health and wellness and chronic disease management. There is opportunity for continuing education in therapeutic yoga for PTs.
Yoga Communities and Eating Disorders: Creating Safe Space for Positive Embodiment
Authors: Cook-Cottone Catherine , Douglass Laura Lee 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
With adequate education and guidance, yoga communities, as part of the therapeutic landscape in the 21st century, can play a significant role promoting positive embodiment for those with, and at-risk for, eating disorders (EDs). To do this, yoga teachers need to know how to create a body-positive community and be able to recognize and respond to those at risk and struggling with EDs in their communities. In order to address yoga teaching methods associated with EDs and ED risk, broader conceptual approaches and specific practices associated with positive embodiment are offered. These include the broader conceptual approaches of: intentional inclusion and acceptance, experiential emphasis, supporting positive embodiment and inquiry. Studio pragmatics are also detailed as related to the body, breath, emotions, and community. Assessment, referral, and community engagement are also addressed.

ULOGA PEDAGOGA U PREVENCIJI SINDROMA SAGORIJEVANJA UČITELJA I ODGAJATELJA
Authors: Vrcelj Sofija , Zovko Anita , Vukobratović Jelena 
Published: November 2017

U radu se analizira preventivno djelovanje pedagoga u obliku savjetodavnog rada orijentiranog na učitelje i odgajatelje. S obzirom da se profesije učitelja i odgajatelja usmjeravaju na pomaganje i podršku drugim ljudima, te se svrstavaju u takozvane ,,pomažuće profesije¨, profesionalno sagorijevanje na poslu je neizbježna manifestacija sve većih zahtjeva koji se pred njih stavljaju. Istraživanja pokazuju da izloženost sve većim zahtjevima na svim razinama posla kod ,,pomažućih profesija¨ dovodi do ekstremne količine negativnog stresa, koji dovodi do sindroma sagorijevanja (engl. burn-out), što je predmet interesa istraživača već trideset godina. Ekstremni primjeri sindroma izgaranja mogu prerasti u Karoshi sindrom koji dovodi do smrtnih posljedica. Rad obuhvaća teorijske implikacije ključnih pojmova te raščlanjuje pojavu sindroma sigorijevanja na dvije profesije: učitelje i odgajatelje te preventivnu savjetodavnu ulogu pedagoga kroz suvremenu ulogu tzv. ¨kritičkog prijatelja¨/¨refleksivnog praktičara¨ u ¨zajednici koja uči¨.
Respons Tanaman Karet Belum Menghasilkan terhadap Pemupukan Organik dan Anorganik di Tanah Latosol Sukabumi
Authors: Saefudin Saefudin 
Published: November 2017

<em>The needs of fertilizer for immature rubber plant (IRP) is influenced by many factors, including the type of soil, clones, plant age and cultivation technique. Information on fertilizers needs of IRP on various types of soils is still limited. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the response of the IRP toward organic and inorganic fertilizers in latosol soil in Sukabumi, West Java. The research was conducted at Pakuwon Experimental Station, Indonesian Industrial and Beverage Crop Research Institute (IIBCRI) Sukabumi from June 2014 until June 2016. The research used split plot design with three replications. The main plot was organic fertilizer doses (0, 2, and 4 kg/plant), whereas the subplot was anorganic fertilizers doses (50%, 75%, 100%, and 125% from recommended dose). Variable observed were stem girth and length, leaf number, and leaf density of the apical branch, length of petiole, length and width of leaflet. The results showed that there was no significant interaction between dose treatment of organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer on all parameters of IRP grown on latosol soil in Sukabumi. Organic fertilizer significantly affect the character of stem girth, length and width of the leaflet. The more organic fertilizer given, the bigger stem girth of IRP, but the smaller length and width of the leaflet.</em>

Published: November 2017

Abstract
The deep SR gas field was discovered in 1991, with rich gas-condensate in the Barik and lean gas in the Miqrat reservoir. The field has been on depletion production since 1999 from the Barik reservoir and started commingled production from Barik and Miqrat reservoirs in 2001. Areally the field is split into three tectonically and dynamically separated blocks namely the SR Main to the North, the SR Graben and the SR South.
The field is currently producing with 189 active wells out of 214 drilled wells. The field is currently utilizing a second stage compression where the suction pressure is 13 bars. The field development relies on the 2010 Field Development Plan (FDP) concept that proposed using fracced vertical wells and commingled production from the two producing units, Barik and Miqrat.
An integrated subsurface-surface study was conducted in 2015-2016 with the objective to deliver a new FDP that aimed at the redefinition of the gas and condensate forecasts for the next 10 years through a focused development of the tight gas units and delivery of further identified opportunities in the SR field.
This study covered a new static model that included a complete new petrophysical interpretation of available data with updated saturations and contact evaluations, an updated structural interpretation and new field property modeling, a new full field dynamic model and an evaluation of various further compression and infill options. A new technology plan to address critical development challenges was also developed.
This paper covers:
The challenges faced in the development of the SR gas condensate field The dynamic modeling challenges and workflow The evaluation of further infill well options (i.e. highly deviated horizontal and vertical commingled wells) The feasibility of a full field vertical well development conducted to estimate the optimum number of wells required for such a development The evaluation and optimization of further compression options The identification and evaluation of additional contingent resource (i.e. extension of facility life, etc…) to further improve ultimate recovery The identification of critical issues/challenges, the screening of different technology solutions as well as the development of a technology staircase to address those challenges The economical evaluation of development options
Small Improvements in Postoperative Outcome with Gap Balancing Technique Compared with Measured Resection in Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Hommel Hagen , Kunze Daniel , Hommel Peggy , Fennema Peter 
Published: November 2017

Background:There is ongoing debate about how to obtain correct rotational alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Two commonly used techniques are the measured resection (MR) and the gap balancing (GB) technique.Objective:The objective of the present study was to analyze which of these two techniques confers a clinical advantage up to 10 years postoperatively.Methods:Two hundred patients were randomized to either MR or GB. The primary outcome was the Knee Society Knee Score (KS) 10 years postoperatively. Secondary outcomes were passive range of motion, the Knee Society Function Score (FS), and the Western Ontario and McMasters Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), along with implant survival. We employed a two one-sided test (TOST) and linear mixed models to assess clinical outcomes.Results:Mean KS was 82 (95% confidence interval (CI), 80 – 83) and 77 (95% CI, 76 – 79) in the GB and MR group, respectively. The TOST test and linear mixed model both revealed statistical significance (p < 0.001). In addition, GB yielded better postoperative FS and WOMAC. However, between-group differences were consistently small. Implant survival rates at 10 years, with survival for any reason as the endpoint of interest, were 93.7% (95% CI, 86.4% and 97.1%) and 89.8% (95% CI, 81.9% - 94.4%) for the GB group and the MR group, respectively (p= 0.302).Conclusion:Gap-balancing is a safe and reliable technique. KS for the two study groups at 10 years can be considered equivalent, and the small postoperative advantages may not extend beyond clinical relevance.
Managing Bony Defects of the Shoulder Joint that Occur in Association with Dislocation
Authors: Yates Jonathan Brian , Choudhry Muhammad Naghman , Waseem Mohammad 
Published: November 2017

Background:Defects to the articular surface of the humeral head have been known to be associated with shoulder dislocation since the 19thcentury. It wasn't until 1934 that the first description of the ubiquitous compression fracture of the posterolateral humeral head that occurs with traumatic anterior instability appeared. From 1940, this defect became referred to as a Hill-Sachs lesion after the investigators who reported the condition. The significance of, and therefore treatment of, these and other such bony defects around the shoulder joint has been hotly debated.Methods:We reviewed the available current literature to determine and report on the most up to date concepts and treatment techniques being used to manage bony defects of the shoulder.Results:Numerous surgical options have been proposed to manage bony defects of the shoulder, including a variety of defect-filling procedures, with good outcomes. However, the small numbers and diversity of case mix makes for difficult comparisons.Conclusion:We are currently developing a greater appreciation of how both the humeral and glenoid defects interact and therefore should be assessed and addressed simultaneously in order to improve patient outcomes. More research and collaboration is needed to determine the optimal method of assessing and managing these patients.

Authors: Ul Islam Saif , Glover Alexander William , Waseem Mohammad 
Published: November 2017

Background:Management of distal humerus fractures remains a challenge for trauma surgeons and advancements in treatment options continue to be made to achieve the best results for patients presenting with these complex fractures. Our aim in this article is to provide the surgeons with a detailed review of current literature to help them make an evidence based decision when faced with managing such complex injuries in their surgical practice.Methods:This is a comprehensive review of the current literature that details various aspects of distal distal humerus fractures such as classification, surgical anatomy, surgical approaches, treatment options, choices of devices, outcomes and complications.Results:With the advancements in techniques and equipment, there has been improvement in patients’ outcomes following surgical management of these fractures and a large proportion of these patients are able to achieve pre-injury level of function. The contoured locking plates have enabled successful fixation of many of these fractures that were previously considered unfixable. For those not amenable to surgical fixation, total elbow arthroplasty and elbow hemiarthroplasty are considered as good alternatives.Conclusion:Since the days where the ‘bag of bones’ technique was the preferred method of treating these complex injuries, techniques and outcomes have advanced greatly. However, they still present a significant technical challenge and need meticulous technique and experience to achieve optimal results.

Published: November 2017

Objective: To assess the extent of antidiabetic drug adherence in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and different factors affecting adherence in outpatient clinics in Alkharj city, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methodology: Type 2 diabetic patients attending two outpatient clinics in Alkharj city, KSA, were randomly selected, and interviewed for information regarding their antidiabetic drug adherence. A six-item questionnaire was used to measure the level of adherence in study participants. Participants scoring six points are categorized as (high adherent), while scores of 4 to 5 puts the participants in the (medium adherence) category, and participants with scores less than 4 are of (Low adherence). Patient’s records were also, reviewed, for relevant lab and clinical data.Results: 68 type 2 diabetic patients participated in this study from April 2014 to September 2014. Majority of participants (73.5%) were of 40 to 60 years old. Hypertension and/or lipid disorders were encountered in majority of patients in this study. 26.5% of patients in this study were categorized as (high adherent), 55.9% as (medium adherent), and 17.6% as (low adherent). 72% of patients had an HbA1c level of ≥7% suggesting poor control of their disease. Patients with a longer history of diabetes, and patients with HbA1c level less than 7% found to achieve better adherence levels (p-value<0.05). Conclusion: Subjective information from patients suggested accepted level of adherence. Nevertheless, objective measurements of HbA1c, suggest poor glycemic control that possibly reflect poor adherence to antidiabetic medications.
HERBAL MEDICINES AS NEUROPROTECTIVE AGENT: A MECHANISTIC APPROACH

Published: November 2017

Neurodegeneration refers to a condition of neuronal death occurring as a result of progressive disease of long termand is becoming a major health problem in the 21st century. Neurons degenerated are not replaced resulting in cognitive loss ,many neurodegenerative disorders, such as schizophrenia, depression, Alzheimer's Disease (AD) dementia, cerebrovascular impairment, seizure disorders, head injury, Parkinsonism. Neuroprotection refers to the strategies and possible mechanisms that are able to protect the central nervous system (CNS) against neuronal injury and neurodegenerative disorders. The past decade has witnessed an intense interest in herbal plants having long-term health promoting or medicinal qualities. Comprehensive research and discovery has demonstrated that natural products, medicinal herbs, plant extracts, and their metabolites, have great potential as neuroprotective agent. Although the precise mechanisms of action of herbal drugs have yet to be determined, some of them have been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and/or antioxidant effects. Thus the herbal plants can be a valuable source of drug against neurodegenerative disorders which will require high-throughput screening. This review will highlight the role of herbal plants and their phytoconstituents against neurodegenerative diseases and other related disorders, focusing on their mechanism of action and therapeutic potential.

Authors: Medeiros Raquel Bueno , Pires Fabio Ramoa , Kantarci Alpdogan , Capelli Jonas 
Published: November 2017

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
To analyze histologic findings of bone remodeling at the time of surgery and 90 days later at corticotomized and noncorticotomized sites.

Materials and Methods:
Eight adult patients with bilaterally inclined mandibular molars were included in this split-mouth study. Corticotomy was performed on the test side, and bone was harvested on both mandibular hemi-arches. Bone blocks were shipped to Forsyth Institute lab (Boston, Mass). After surgery, cantilevers were activated to upright inclined mandibular molars on both sides. Approximately 90 days after surgery, new mandibular bone blocks were harvested from test and control sites. Histologic analyses were performed on both groups (test and control sides) at two time points: baseline (T0) and 90 days after surgery (T90). Bone blocks were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and Masson's trichrome. The protocols enabled screening of new bone formation and collagen in mineralized and nonmineralized connective tissue. Outcomes were compared using a clustered generalized estimating equations model

Results:
The test group at T90 exhibited an increase of 16% of primary bone (P &lt; .05), an increase of 6.6 in osteocytes quantity (P = .039), and an increase of 4.06 in reversal lines quantity (P = .924). Both groups exhibited a decrease in the inorganic proportion.

Conclusions:
The intentional bone injury performed in adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment can be considered temporary and reversible. Evidence indicates that baseline bone characteristics are unaltered.
The Contribution of Outer H i Disks to the Merging Binary Black Hole Population

Published: November 2017

Abstract
We investigate the contribution of outer H i disks to the observable population of merging black hole binaries. Like dwarf galaxies, the outer H i disks of spirals have low star formation rates and lower metallicities than the inner disks of spirals. Since low-metallicity star formation can produce more detectable compact binaries than typical star formation, the environments in the outskirts of spiral galaxies may be conducive to producing a rich population of massive binary black holes. We consider here both detailed controlled simulations of spirals and cosmological simulations, as well as the current range of observed values for metallicity and star formation in outer disks. We find that the outer H i disks contribute at least as much as dwarf galaxies do to the observed LIGO/Virgo detection rates. Identifying the host galaxies of merging massive black holes should provide constraints on cosmological parameters and insights into the formation channels of binary mergers.
Unilateral Congenital Cataract: Clinical Profile and Presentation
Authors: Khokhar Sudarshan , Jose Cijin P. , Sihota Ramanjit , Midha Neha 
Published: November 2017

Purpose:
To study the clinical profile and presentation of children with unilateral cataract.

Methods:
In this hospital-based, observational, cross-sectional study, patients 15 years of age or younger who presented with unilateral cataract were recruited. Cases of cataract secondary to causes such as trauma or uveitis were excluded. Age at detection and presentation, distance from the treatment center, presenting complaints, cataract morphology, and biometry were noted for each case.

Results:

A total of 76 patients were recruited. Most patients presented with complaints of leukocoria. Persistent fetal vasculature accounted for 27.6% of cases and was the most common identifiable cause of cataract in this study. Subsequently, patients were divided into two groups: no persistent fetal vasculature (control) and persistent fetal vasculature. A male predominance was noted in both groups. The mean age at detection was 27.58 ± 37.02 and 6.17 ± 8.42 months and the mean age at presentation was 55.613 ± 45.21 and 14.83 ± 17.75 months in the control and persistent fetal vasculature groups, respectively. In the persistent fetal vasculature group, a significant difference was noted in the axial length, keratometry, and corneal diameter between the affected and normal eyes (
P
= .027, .00176, and .0114, respectively). In the control group, this difference was observed only in keratometry readings (
P
= .0464). The mean distance traveled by patients to reach the treatment center was 211 km.

Conclusions:
Persistent fetal vasculature is an important and less identified cause of unilateral cataract. A significant delay is noted in the detection and presentation of unilateral cataract.
