Background and purpose:
There is a growing body of evidence indicating that phase angle (PhA) can be used as an indicator of nutritional status, disease prognosis, and mortality risk; however, it is still unknown whether PhA can be used as an explanator of functional capacity and muscle quality in older women. The main purpose of this cross-sectional study was to explore whether PhA is associated with muscle quality and functional capacity in older women, regardless of total and regional body composition.

Methods:
A total of 125 older women—66.7 (4.7) years; 65.6 (10.9) kg body mass; 156.1 (5.2) cm height; 26.9 (4.0) kg/m2 body mass index—participated in this study. Anthropometric, PhA, body composition (whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) and muscle quality (defined as total muscular strength per kilogram of appendicular lean soft tissue) were measured. The functional capacity was assessed by 4 tests: 10-m walk test, rising from sitting position, rising from ventral decubitus position, and rising from a chair and walking around the house. The summing z-scores for the 4 tests was used as a continuous functional capacity score. Linear regression analysis was conducted to test whether PhA is related to the dependent variables (muscle quality and functional capacity), after adjusting for potential covariates.

Results:
The PhA presented a small-to-moderate relationship with muscle quality (r = 0.27; P < .01) and functional capacity (r = 0.31; P < .01), respectively. These relationships remained significant after adjustment for age, lower limb lean soft tissue, and total fat mass for muscle quality (β= 0.55; P < .01) and functional capacity (β= 1.38; P < .01).

Conclusion:
Our findings suggest that healthy elderly women with higher values of PhA have a better muscle quality and functionality, regardless of age and body composition.
Two-Minute Step Test of Exercise Capacity: Systematic Review of Procedures, Performance, and Clinimetric Properties
Authors: Bohannon Richard W. , Crouch Rebecca H. 
Published: November 2017

Background and Purpose:The 2-minute step test (TMST) is one of many alternatives for measuring exercise capacity. First introduced in 1999 as part of the Senior Fitness Test, the TMST has the advantage of requiring limited space, only a few minutes' time, and no expensive equipment. These advantages notwithstanding, the test must be clinimetrically sound if it is to be recommended. We sought therefore to summarize the literature addressing TMST performance and measurement properties.Methods:Relevant literature was identified by searches of 3 electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health) and hand searches. Inclusion of an article required that it described use of the TMST of Rikli and Jones and that it focused on adults. Articles published in a language other than English were excluded. Studies were abstracted for information on participants, TMST description, and findings.Results and Discussion:Thirty articles were deemed appropriate based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The participants in the studies included community-dwelling healthy older adults and adults with assorted pathologies. Studies described varied methods of conducting the TMST. Among tests in which steps for one side were counted over a full 2 minutes, the mean number of steps among populations ranged from 29.1 for patients with chronic stroke to 110.8 for older osteoporotic women. Numerous reviewed studies provide support for the validity of the TMST. Only one study addressed reliability and none focused on responsiveness. Normative data have been proffered.Conclusions:The TMST has been widely used since first introduced, albeit not always as originally described. There is considerable evidence for the validity of the test, but its reliability and responsiveness are not yet firmly established.

Abstract
Selmi, MA, Al-Haddabi, B, Yahmed, MH, and Sassi, RH. Does maturity status affect the relationship between anaerobic speed reserve and multiple sprints sets performance in young soccer players? J Strength Cond Res 34(12): 3600–3606, 2020—The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between repeated-sprint sets (RSS) performance indices and anaerobic speed reserve (ASR) in young soccer players of different maturity status. One hundred seventy-nine young male soccer players (11.1–17.8 years) classified as pre– (n = 50), circum– (n = 60), or post– (n = 69) peak height velocity (PHV) performed multistage shuttle run test (MSRT) to measure maximal aerobic speed (MAS), 30-m sprint with 10-m splits to estimate maximal anaerobic speed (MAnS), and RSS test. Anaerobic speed reserve was calculated as the difference between MAS and MAnS. The RSS indices, MAS, MAnS, and ASR were significantly different in the 3 maturity groups (p < 0.001; effect size = 0.12–0.64). Correlations between RSS performance indices and ASR varied considerably depending on maturity status. Very large correlations between ASR and RSS indices expressed as sum sprint time (SST) and best sprint time (BST) were found for pre- and circum-PHV groups (r = −0.76, −0.79 and r = −0.82, −0.86, respectively). In the post-PHV group, ASR was moderately associated with both SST (r = −0.45) and BST (r = −0.46). To sum up, these results highlighted that the ASR is more related to factors of RSS performance in pre- and circum-PHV male soccer players compared with post-PHV ones. These findings could help coaches and strength and conditioning professionals to better understand how the relationship between ASR and RSS evolves across the maturity and may be considered, therefore, useful in youth soccer selection/training process.
Alagille Syndrome: An Overview
Authors: Jesina Dalacy 
Published: November 2017

AbstractAlagille syndrome (AGS) is a highly complex, multisystem, autosomal dominant disorder that is caused by a defect in the Notch signaling pathway. This syndrome mainly affects the liver, causing significant cholestasis, which is caused by a paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts. There can be cardiac involvement, including, but not limited to, pulmonary stenosis and tetralogy of Fallot. Patients can also present with butterfly vertebra, ocular issues, and vascular events. Because this syndrome follows an autosomal dominant inheritance, it can have variable expression even in the same family line. For infants in the NICU who have a cardiac defect and persistent hyperbilirubinemia after two weeks of age, genetic testing for AGS should be considered. Early detection and diagnosis can lead to improved outcomes. In this discussion of AGS, the clinical features as well as management are discussed.

Phase 3: Sixteen parents of infants younger than seven months completed the cognitive interview.Main Outcome Variable: Content validity of the NeoEAT.Results: Three versions were developed: NeoEAT Breastfeeding (72 items), NeoEAT Bottle Feeding (74 items), and NeoEAT Breastfeeding and Bottle Feeding (89 items).
Striving Toward Openness: But What Do We Really Mean?
Authors: Rolfe Vivien 
Published: November 2017

The global open education movement is striving toward openness as a feature of academic policy and practice, but evidence shows that these ambitions are far from mainstream, and levels of awareness in institutions is often disappointingly low. Those advocating for open education are seeking to widen engagement, but how targeted and persuasive are their messages? The aim of this research is to explore the voices often unheard, those of the teachers and professional service staff with whom we are engaging. This research presents a series of interviews with those involved in open education at De Montfort University in the UK, with the aim of gaining a better perspective of what openness means to them. The interviews were analysed through an interpretive lens allowing each individual to create their own story and reflect their own personal view of openness. The results of this study are that in this university, openness is represented by five elements – staff pedagogy and practice, benefits to learners, accessibility and access to content, institutional structures, and values and culture.This work shows the importance of adopting critical approaches to gain a deeper understanding of the philosophical and pedagogic stances within institutions. By giving a voice to all those involved we will be able to develop appropriate and more persuasive arguments to widen our sphere of influence as a community of open educators.

Published: November 2017

As learning a foreign language poses a number of challenges for the students, it has become indispensable to search for “optimal” conditions to enhance opportunities of engaging in the target language. Within this context, the Mobile-Blended Collaborative Learning model has been integrated in and out of the classroom learning in order to enable language learners to practice English by means of collaborative, authentic language activities based on project-based learning approach. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of using mobile instant messaging application, WhatsApp on the language proficiency of EFL students. Participants (N = 85) were enrolled in five upper-intermediate prep classes at a foundation university in Istanbul and took part in a seven-week Project Work. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, self- and peer evaluations of group work, a rubric for assessing project work, and log files of WhatsApp conversations. Results revealed practicing English in an authentic setting where the students used the target language for a real purpose facilitated their language learning, improved their communication skills and vocabulary knowledge, and made them recognize colloquial English. Additionally, instant messaging in an informal platform for educational purposes had positive effects on their performance and the quality of their work.

Prediction of the Critical Gas Velocity of Liquid Unloading in a Horizontal Gas Well
Authors: Wang Zhibin , Guo Liejin , Zhu Suyang , Nydal Ole Jørgen 
Published: November 2017

Summary
Analysis of the experimental data for liquid-entrainment rate, forces exerted on liquid droplet, and secondary flow occurring in the gas core show that the liquid is mainly carried in the form of film in the inclined annular flow. Therefore, it is more reasonable to establish a mathematical model from the bottom-film reversal than from the droplet reversal.
In this study, a new analytical model is developed from force balance of the bottom film of the inclined tubing after studying the bottom-film thickness and gas/liquid interfacial friction factor to reveal the liquid-loading mechanism. Furthermore, a new Belfroid-like empirical model is proposed that is based on the calculation results of a wide range of flowing parameters from the new analytical model to predict the liquid-loading status of gas wells. The new empirical model introduces a coefficient Cd,p,uSL,T to consider how the fluid properties under downhole flow condition affect the critical gas velocity. Cd,p,uSL,T in the new empirical model increases with the pipe diameter, liquid velocity, and flowing pressure, and decreases with the flowing temperature.
The new analytical model, having an average error of 8.45%, agrees well with the published experimental data, and it also performs well in predicting the pressure gradient at liquid unloading condition. The new empirical model could be applied for the prediction of real field operations and has been validated with an accuracy rate of 95% against data newly collected from 60 horizontal wells. The new work can accurately and easily judge the liquid-loading status, and it also reveals how the fluid properties under downhole flowing condition affect the liquid loading.

The role of spoken language in cardiovascular health inequalities: a cross-sectional study of people with non-English language preference
Authors: Mackay Alex , Ashworth Mark , White Patrick 
Published: November 2017

BackgroundSocioeconomic and ethnic factors are established determinants of cardiovascular health inequalities. The role of low proficiency in the majority language as a mediator of these inequalities is uncertain.AimThis study aimed to investigate the association between non-English language preference and cardiovascular health inequalities in a community in London.Design & settingRetrospective, cross-sectional analysis of anonymised patient-level data collected from general practices in Lambeth, south London.MethodCardiovascular disease prevalence, monitoring, and risk-identification data were compared between non-English and English language groups using multiple logistic regression.ResultsOf the total number of patients registered at the 49 participating practices, 302 404 (83%) patients were aged ≥18 years. Preferred language was recorded by 69.4%: English 53.6%, Portuguese 3.2%, Spanish 2.6%, French 1.6%, Polish 1.4%, Somali 0.5%, and others 7.1%; 30.6% had no record of language preference. The non-English language preference group had a greater likelihood of coronary heart disease ([CHD], odds ratio [OR] 1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.03 to 1.34); diabetes mellitus ([DM], OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.23 to 1.43); obesity (OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.04 to 1.13); and smoking (OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.14 to 1.21), but no difference in the prevalence of hypertension or stroke. Cardiovascular monitoring was not less intense in this group. Portuguese-speakers (the largest non-English language preference group) had a greater likelihood of hypertension (OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.30 to 1.57); DM (OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.50 to 2.02); stroke (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.08 to 1.81); obesity (OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.36 to 1.73); and smoking (OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.02 to 1.25).ConclusionThe non-English language preference group was associated with a greater risk of some aspects of cardiovascular disease than the English language preference group, probably reflecting shared cultural and behavioural risk. Non-English language preference was not associated with lower rates of cardiovascular monitoring, providing some evidence of equitable primary care access in this group.
Evidence for a Dayside Thermal Inversion and High Metallicity for the Hot Jupiter WASP-18b

Published: November 2017

Abstract
We find evidence for a strong thermal inversion in the dayside atmosphere of the highly irradiated hot Jupiter WASP-18b (

,

) based on emission spectroscopy from Hubble Space Telescope secondary eclipse observations and Spitzer eclipse photometry. We demonstrate a lack of water vapor in either absorption or emission at 1.4 μm. However, we infer emission at 4.5 μm and absorption at 1.6 μm that we attribute to CO, as well as a non-detection of all other relevant species (e.g., TiO, VO). The most probable atmospheric retrieval solution indicates a C/O ratio of 1 and a high metallicity (

solar). The derived composition and T/P profile suggest that WASP-18b is the first example of both a planet with a non-oxide driven thermal inversion and a planet with an atmospheric metallicity inconsistent with that predicted for Jupiter-mass planets at

. Future observations are necessary to confirm the unusual planetary properties implied by these results.
