A battle for a brave new world
Authors: Sealey Jenny 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In this reflective article and provocative play, the author draws first on her experience as Co-Artistic Director of the London 2012 Paralympic Opening Ceremony. She charts the challenges, opportunities and optimism that shaped the lead-up to the event. She also highlights key aspects of the Ceremony’s personal, artistic and political successes. These moments serve as sharp contrast, however, to the shock experienced by many disabled UK citizens in response to the government cuts to the Access to Work and Independent Living Fund that followed the Games. To share the impact of these cuts on disabled people’s lives, the articlechanges tack to include the script for a new piece of verbatim theatre, Sorry. The play assembles responses to the author’s call out to the Disability Arts community asking for stories about the cuts or their lives as artists. It has been performed in various universities, colleges, arts establishments and political platforms.
The application of Ramsey model to the Algerian economy
Authors: Yamna Achour Tani , Van Cuong Le 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This article discusses the optimal growth of a developing country rich in natural resources. The Ramsey model aims at identifying the paths of optimal growth arising from the conjunction of agents’ preferences, technical possibilities and the initial endowment of production factors. The choice of this model appears to be more intuitive and preferable for a first approach since it teaches capital accumulation and consumption. We must know what the economic agents will consume and what they will add to the capital stock for the future. The objective is to maximize social welfare at every point in time by determining an optimal consumption path that takes into account the characteristics of the economy. One of the main results of the Ramsey model is that any optimal path converges to a steady state.

Need for treatment in all skeletal class III cases – A dilemma ? A case report.
Authors: Mahajan Monika 
Published: October 2017

AbstractSkeletal malocclusion affects dental and facial tissues. A complicating factor for diagnosis and treatment of skeletal class III malocclusion is its multifactorial etiology. Genetics play an important role in determining the facial morphology of an individual. Prediction of a skeletal class III based on morphology can play an important step in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This case report further supports the significant role of genetics in skeletal class III malocclusion. As seen in our case the skeletal class III if left untreated does not detiorate but rather shows a decrease in ANB ie anterioposterior discrepancy. Hence the need for treatment should be analysed thoroughly in skeletal class III patients.

Authors: Brower Laura H. , Kremer Nathalie , Meier Katie , Wolski Christine , McCaughey Molly M. , McKenna Emily , Anadio Jennifer , Eismann Emily , Shaughnessy Erin E. 
Published: October 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Pediatric hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (VTE) is costly, has high morbidity, and is often preventable. The objective of this quality-improvement effort was to increase the percentage of general surgery and orthopedic patients ≥10 years of age screened for VTE risk from 0% to 80%.

METHODS:
At a freestanding children’s hospital, 2 teams worked to implement VTE risk screening for postoperative inpatients. The general surgery team used residents and nurse practitioners to perform screening whereas the orthopedic team initially used bedside nursing staff. Both groups employed multiple small tests of change. Shared key interventions included refinement of a screening tool, provider education, mitigation of failures, and embedding the risk assessment task into staff workflow. The primary outcome measure, the percentage of eligible patients with a completed VTE risk assessment, was plotted on run charts. Secondary outcome measures for screened patients included the level of risk, the use of appropriate prophylaxis, and VTE events.

RESULTS:
Median weekly percentage of general surgery patients screened for VTE risk increased from 0% to 86% within 12 months, and median weekly percentage of orthopedic patients screened for VTE risk increased from 0% to 46% within 8 months. Among screened patients, the majority were at low or moderate risk for VTE and received prophylaxis in accordance with or beyond guideline recommendations. No screened patients developed VTE.

CONCLUSIONS:
Quality-improvement methods were used to implement a VTE risk screening process for postoperative patients. Using providers as screeners, as opposed to bedside nurses, led to a greater percentage of patients screened.

Published: October 2017

O objetivo foi avaliar o impacto de atualização de profissionais de saúde em alimentação infantil na prevalência de anemia nos primeiros dois anos de vida. Investigou-se também a frequência da prescrição de suplementação de ferro (SF) e os fatores associados a essa prática. Conduziu-se estudo de campo randomizado por conglomerado em Unidades de Saúde (US) em uma cidade do sul do Brasil. Os profissionais das US-intervenção participaram da capacitação sobre o guia da alimentação saudável para as crianças menores de 2 anos do Ministério da Saúde. Avaliaram-se 533 crianças com idade de 12-15meses. A prevalência de anemia foi 55,7%, sem diferença significativa nos grupos intervenção (GI) e controle (GC) (p=0,34). A prevalência de prescrição do SF (84,2% vs 81,2%, p=0,40) e da adesão materna ao uso SF >180 dias (36,2% vs 35,2%; p=1,00) foi semelhante nos GI e GC. O tempo de uso do SF >180 dias foi associado à menor prevalência de anemia (46,6% vs 56,4%; p=0,03). O maior número de consultas na puericultura foi associado ao uso do SF por período ≥180 dias (p=0,04). A intervenção não foi efetiva em reduzir a prevalência de anemia entre as crianças, sendo necessário maior incentivo às mães para aderirem ao uso do suplemento de ferro nos primeiros dois anos.

Published: October 2017

Background: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing rapidly in both developed and developing countries. There
are various conventional medicines used for the management of the disease, but there is also increased interest in the use of
traditional herbal medicines. Although the concepts of illness and diseases in traditional medicine may differ from
conventional medicine the outcomes are similar. The antihyperglycemic effects of various herbal medicines prescribed by
traditional healers in the management of diabetes mellitus have been proven scientifically using several in-vitro and in-vivo
models as well as clinical studies in humans.
Materials and methods: Literature search was done in several databases. Firstly, the search was conducted using the key
terms: diabetes mellitus and traditional medicine, diabetes mellitus and herbs, diabetes mellitus and plants, traditional
concepts of health and sickness and diabetes mellitus. After identifying the herbs or plants used in diabetes a search was
then conducted by name of herb and efficacy in management of diabetes mellitus.
Results: This review highlights the similarities and differences in mechanisms of action of various traditional herbal
medicines and conventional medicines. The major observation is that, herbal medicines often have multiple mechanisms of
action ideally making them combination therapies. The review further highlights the need to develop an algorithm of a
minimum battery of in-vitro and animal studies that can provide solid evidence of the potential of traditional medicines as
anti-diabetic treatments.
Conclusion: Traditional herbal medicines often have multiple phytoconstituents and hence multiple mechanisms of action
ideally making them combination therapies.

Background: Plants and herbs have long been used as remedies without scientific evidences. The objective of the present study was to explore the anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive and antipyretic potential of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Terminalia citrina fruits in mice.
Materials and Methods: Extracts of Terminalia citrina fruits were evaluated at doses of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg and 600mg/kg in albino mice for preventive effect in inflammatory edema, peripheral pain sensation and pyrexia. Carrageenan induced paw edema method was utilized to evaluate anti-inflammatory activity. Analgesic appraisal of extracts was demonstrated using acetic acid induced writhing model of pain. Antipyretic potential was determined by brewer’s yeast induced pyrexia model. Statistical analysis was conducted by ANOVA following post hoc test.
Results: Both extracts exhibited significant and dose-dependent anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities. The ethanolic extract was more effective in reducing inflammatory edema, pyrexia and pain sensation than aqueous extracts in all tested doses.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that fruit extracts of Terminalia citrina may be effective in reducing inflammation, pyrexia and pain sensation in animals.

Authors: Tong YanQing , Dou LiLi , Sun Ye , Zhao DongKai 
Published: October 2017

Background: The mechanisms and patterns of drug resistances of E. coli strains that cause uncomplicated urinary tract
infections (UTIs) vary considerably. The emerging herbresistance
of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) has been a
serious health problem, yet with unknown underlying mechanisms.
Methods: To explore the potential herb-resistance mechanisms of E. coli strains that cause uncomplicated UTIs, three
clinically isolated herb-resistant UPEC strains (1351, 4996, 5028) were analyzed for their abilities to form biofilms and the
expressions of the pga ABCD and luxS genes.
Results: We found that the expression of pgaA and pgaB are very different between 1351 and 5028, and the loss-offunction
of luxS in 4996 has impact on biofilm formation.
Conclusions: 1. Herb-resistance of the strains is related to their abilities of biofilm formation. 2. Biofilm formation
capabilities of herb-resistant strains show different responses to the presence of glucose. 3. luxS encoded AI-2 is not
essential for biofilm formation in this strain but may help with more biofilm formation.
Estimation of Foam–Flow Parameters for Local Equilibrium Methods by Use of Steady-State Flow Experiments and Optimization Algorithms
Authors: de Araujo Cavalcante Filho Jose Sergio , Delshad Mojdeh , Sepehrnoori Kamy 
Published: October 2017

Summary
Foam has been successfully used in the oil industry for conformance and mobility control in gas-injection processes. The efficiency of a foam-injection project must be assessed by means of numerical models. Although there are several foam-flow models in the literature, the prediction of foam behavior is an important issue that needs further investigation. In this paper, we estimate foam parameters and investigate foam behavior for a given range of water saturation by use of two local equilibrium foam models: the population balance assuming local equilibrium (LE) model and the University of Texas (UT) model. Our method uses an optimization algorithm to estimate foam-model parameters by matching the measured pressure gradient from steady-state foam-coreflood experiments. We calculate the effective foam viscosity and the water fractional flow by use of experimental data, and we then compare laboratory data against results obtained with the matched foam models to verify the foam parameters. Other variables, such as the foam texture and foam relative permeability, are used to further investigate the behavior of the foam during each experiment. We propose an improvement to the UT model that provides a better match in the high-quality regime by assuming resistance factor and critical water saturation as a linear function of the pressure gradient. Results show that the parameter-estimation method coupled with an optimization algorithm successfully matches the experimental data by use of both foam models. In the LE model, we observe different values of the foam effective viscosity for each pressure gradient caused by variations of foam texture and the shear-thinning viscosity effect. The UT model presents a constant effective viscosity for each pressure gradient; we propose the use of resistance factor and critical water saturation as a linear function of the pressure gradient to improve the match in the high-quality regime, when applicable.
Enhancing Cement Integrity in Steam Injection Applications with High Temp Swellable Technology
Authors: Clark Travis , Davis Tim , Hance Derek 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
A critical design component on any steam injection project is to ensure steam containment. Loss of steam containment is not only a safety hazard, but also leads to poor well performance. Large changes in temperature have always been challenging to maintaining cement integrity not only during temperature ramp up, but certainly over the life of the well. Using high temperature swellable technology as part of the design for containment has proven to be highly effective.
In the design of a well, there are multiple casing strings, each with containment criteria and challenges. Challenges typically are due to difficulties in placing the cement and uncertainties on borehole shape. For years swellable packers have been used in conjunction with cement to overcome these challenges where cement alone has a low probability of providing successful containment. These challenges become more difficult in steam applications. Advancements in packer design and elastomer technology has led to the development of packers that can be run in casing designs which will encounter temperature up to 575°F (302°C). During the well design, critical containment areas are reviewed and consideration for the inclusion of a high temperature swellable packer is performed.
An operator of a cyclical steam injection project typically has seen steam at surface within days or weeks after initial heat up of the well. This results in additional steps to operate, maintain, and report on the well. High temperature swellable packers were piloted over a selected number of wells. It was found that wellhead pressure on cemented annuli was eliminated or significantly reduced after the first cycle of steam injection. The practice of including the packers now is used on every well and success is still being observed after multiple cycles of temperature. This reduces safety hazards as well as improve performance of the wells.
