Authors: Abdelwareth Rana R. , Soliman Elsadat Saad , Allah Dina S. Abd 
Published: September 2024

Background and purpose
To examine the effect of induced posterior pelvic tilt (changes in pelvic kinematics) on serratus anterior, lower trapezius, and upper trapezius electromyographic activity, and thoracic posture during arm elevation in individuals with rounded shoulder.
Materials and methods
Thirty healthy volunteers (26 male and 4 female participants) with rounded shoulder, their mean age 22.80±3.2, BMI 23.51± 3.9 were evaluated for both thoracic and pelvic posture using a 9-camera, 3-dimensional motion capture system (Vicon Nexus version 2, Oxford, UK), serratus anterior, lower trapezius, and upper trapezius electromyographic activity. The measurements were recorded in different six experimental conditions while inducing posterior pelvic tilt during arm elevation. For the six experimental conditions involving arm elevation, repeated measures analysis of variance within-subjects was used to examine the changes in electromyographic activities of lower trapezius, upper trapezius, and serratus anterior due to pelvic kinematics’ changes whereas paired t-tests were used to examine the changes in the thoracic posture in response to pelvic kinematics’ changes and to compare the pelvic tilt angle between the habitual relaxed position and the induced posterior tilt position.
Results
Upper trapezius, serratus anterior, and lower trapezius electromyographic activity significantly increased in response (changes in pelvic kinematics) induced posterior pelvic tilt (35:40%) of the maximal posterior pelvic tilt, although there were no apparent alterations in thoracic posture. (p>0.05).
Conclusion
Induced posterior pelvic tilt, (35:40%) of the maximum, resulted in an increase in the electromyographic activity of serratus anterior, lower trapezius, upper trapezius, which reflects that changes in pelvic kinematic could alter scapular muscles activity, so comprehensive examination of pelvic posture is required in both preventive and treatment programs of shoulder complex injuries. Meanwhile, no significant effect was reported on thoracic posture.

Аннотация. В данной статье рассматривается такое редкое и неординарное во всех отношениях явление, как голубиная почта и её распространение и использование в начале ХХ столетия как средства связи, в том числе секретной; производится атрибуция бланка для голубограммы, относящегося к началу ХХ столетия и отпечатанного в Российской империи; анализируется использование голубиной почты и её роль в военном деле.
Голубиная почта – пожалуй, один из самых необычных видов связи, когда-либо существовавших в истории человечества, появившийся ещё в древности, и использовавшийся людьми как в мирных, так и в милитаристических целях. Особенный интерес для исследователей представляет временной период конца XIX – начала XX в., когда почтовые голуби, эти необычные союзники людей, продолжали осуществлять доставку сообщений, несмотря на бурное развитие науки и техники и изобретение оптического, акустического и электрического телеграфа. Голубиная почта в наше время изучается и внедряется в жизнь некоторыми орнитологами, голубеводами, а также заинтересованными и увлекающимися людьми.

Published: September 2024

Este artigo visa apresentar um fenômeno pouco conhecido e estudado, que se desenvolve a bastante tempo, na erma região da tríplice fronteira amazônica do Brasil(Acre) com a Bolívia e Peru, Trata-se da intensa participação dos motoristas do serviço de táxi, nos crimes relacionados ao tráfico de drogas e suas possíveis implicações para o aumento da violência nas cidades de fronteira, cortadas pela BR 317, mas conhecida como a Transpacífica. Ademais demonstramos a franca expansão da produção da droga peruana, sua íntima ligação com as rotas do tráfico no estado, com ênfase na utilização do modal rodoviário e hidroviário. Tal fenômeno está diretamente associado às expressivas apreensões de drogas, sobretudo a cocaína, realizadas no estado do Acre, um dos maiores corredores de transporte de drogas do Brasil. Nesse contexto, visamos apresentar uma perspectiva analítica, bem como os possíveis apontamentos na direção de implementar ações repressivas e preventivas, a fim de interromper o elo estabelecido entre a prestação do serviço essencial (táxi) e os crimes enunciados. Assim é de fundamentação precípua a promoção do aumento da integração entre as polícias dos países do arco fronteiriço, somado a ações mais específicas de controle das Polícias da União em conjunto com as Polícias do Estado do Acre, somado ainda ao desenvolvimento de políticas públicas para a região.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence and type of CAMs, and predictive factors among Ghanaian children with asthma.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study involving 110 children with physician-diagnosed asthma attending the Asthma Clinic of the Department of Child Health (DCH), Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), Accra were consecutively recruited between February 2018 to May 2019. Data were collected with a semi-structured, pre-tested, investigator-administered questionnaire.
Results: Out of the 110 participants, forty-nine (44.5%) had used CAM within the last 12 months. The three most frequently used remedies as standalone or in combination were honey (80.0%), garlic (34.2%) and lemon/lime (26.3%%). In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, CAM use among children aged 10--13 years was over 4 times the use among those aged 5--9 years (AOR=4.45, 95% CI: 1.32-14.98, p=0.016), 71% less among female children (AOR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.10-0.80, p=0.017) and 85% less among mothers in middle occupation class relative to the low occupation class (AOR: 0.15, 95% CI: 0.15, 95% CI: 0.03-0.77, p=0.023).
Conclusion: There was high prevalence of CAM use among the children attending the asthma clinic, KBTH. Adolescents and children from low occupational class are more likely to use CAM, while the female child was less likely.

В статье исследованы свойства раствора на основе порт­ландцемента, модифицированного суспензией медь-углеродного мезоскопического композита (Cu/C МК) в водном растворе поликарбоксилатного пластификатора. Cu/C МК — ​это наноразмерное образование, состоящее из кластера наночастиц меди, ассоциированных с углеродной оболочкой. Суспензия содержала Cu/C МК в количестве 0,05 % массы портландцемента. Предел прочности при сжатии модифицированного раствора в возрасте 28 сут на 18 % выше, чем у контрольного (немодифицированного) образца. Разница в прочности образцов наблюдалась с возраста 7 сут и более. Проведены инфракрасный спектральный анализ, дифференциальный термический анализ и рентгеновский микроанализ модифицированных образцов в возрасте 7 сут. Полученные результаты позволяют предположить, что модифицирующая добавка способствует более прочному связыванию воды в кристаллогидратах, чем в образцах без добавки, а частицы Cu/C МК выступают в качестве дополнительных центров кристаллизации.
The article discusses the properties of a Portland cement-based composite modified with a suspension of copper/carbon mesoscopic Cu/C MK composite based on a polycarboxylate plasticizer. A copper/carbon mesoscopic composite (nanocomposite) is a nanoscale formation from a cluster of copper nanoparticles associated with a carbon shell. The additive in the form of a suspension of copper/carbon mesoscopic composite in an aqueous solution of polycarboxylate plasticizer contained 0.05% Cu/C MK relative to the weight ofportland cement. There is an increase in the compressive strength of the modified composite at the age of 28 days by 18% compared with the control (unmodified) sample. The difference in strength gain is observed on the 7th day after the start of hydration. Infrared spectral analysis, differential thermal analysis and X-ray microanalysis of modified samples at the age of 7 days were performed. According to the results obtained, it is assumed that the modifying additive contributes to a stronger binding of water in crystallohydrates than in samples without an additive, and mesoscopic copper/ carbon composite particles act as additional crystallization centers.

The error in therapy on the part of the doctor and midwives consisting in an unjustified choice of a means of accelerating childbirth without any medical indications and an incorrect way of its further conduct, in particular the failure to continuously monitor the cardiotocography, combined with the registration of the KTG record, is the fault of the medical personnel, which leads to the hospital's liability for damage caused to the unborn child (Article 430 in connection with Article 415 of the Civil Code).
The lack of medical records cannot be interpreted in favor of the doctor (hospital); he is obliged to prove that the medical activities were correct, in accordance with the latest knowledge and medical art and were performed using all available medical equipment.

Legal characteristics of professional pharmaceutical confidentiality
Summary
The legal regulation of pharmaceutical confidentiality was inspired by the treatment of medical confidentiality. De lege lata, the legal basis for the obligation to maintain this type of discretion is the provision of Art. 21 point 2 of the Act of 19 April 1991 on pharmaceutical chambers, however, in all matters not regulated in that legal act, the provisions of the Act of 6 November 2008 on Patient Rights and the Patient Rights Ombudsman apply. At the same time, due to the fragmented statutory regulation, nonlegal regulators, including the rules of deontological nature expressed in the Code of Ethics for Pharmacists may also have practical significance.
Maintaining pharmaceutical discretion is an important element of pharmacy activities. It should be assumed that this kind of privacy is universal, as it concerns every sphere of pharmacy's activity.
The obligation of confidentiality with regard to the personal and medical data of patients is a fundamental duty not only of the entrepreneur running the pharmacy and people acting on the premises of an enterprise (pharmacists, pharmaceutical technicians, people practicing in the pharmacy), but also of all person who, in connection with the performance of activities at the pharmacy, has access to information related to the patient. The scope of confidential information should be understood broadly. It includes all the basic data about the patient, his health condition, used medicinal products, and the so-called occasional information obtained in the course of providing pharmaceutical services. From a temporal point of view, the obligation of maintaining The obligation of discretion should be considered as unlimited in time. The catalog of cases when “the obliged entities” should disclose the confidential information is also interesting. In this respect, due to the lack of detailed legal regulations regarding pharmaceutical confidentiality, it is necessary to refer to the regulations concerning medical confidentiality.

Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:
Inpatient rehabilitation improves health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the obtained improvements decline once people return home. The challenge is to find ways to preserve the beneficial effects for the long term. We investigated whether monthly telecoaching after discharge would enhance the long-term carryover of improvements.

METHODS:
We conducted a 1-year exploratory study with 2 delivery methods: telephone coaching and web-based coaching. After discharge, the telephone group received monthly calls; the web-based group responded to monthly online coaching questions. Based on their rehabilitation goals, we put patients into a neuropsychological group or a physical group. In addition, we matched each patient with similar wait-list control patients and treatment patients from the main study. The primary outcome was HRQOL measured by the Functional Assessment in Multiple Sclerosis (FAMS).

RESULTS:
The neuropsychological group had long-term preservation of HRQOL with both delivery methods, with telephone coaching seeming to be superior. Mean differences in FAMS at the 12-month median follow-up for the neuropsychological group compared with the control wait-list control group were for the telephone group: + 15.4 (95% CI, 3.5-27.4; P = .011); for the web-based group: + 10.9 (95% CI, −3.3 to 25.2; P = .130); for the control treatment group: + 6.9 (95% CI, 0.6-13.3; P = .031). The physical group saw no beneficial effects from telecoaching.

CONCLUSIONS:
Following inpatient multidisciplinary rehabilitation, monthly telecoaching of individuals with MS with neuropsychological challenges enhanced the long-term carryover of HRQOL, with one-on-one telephone coaching showing more pronounced improvements than web-based automated coaching.
Validity and reliability of the Sustainable HEalthy Diet (SHED) index by comparison with EAT-Lancet diet, Mediterranean diet in Turkish adults
Authors: Aksoy Canyolu Burcu , Martini Daniela , Şen Nilüfer 
Published: September 2024

Background
Food consumption and diet are strongly associated with sustainability. The Sustainable HEalthy Diet index was developed to measure the nutritional, environmental, and sociocultural components of sustainable diets and healthy eating patterns. However, a methodological approach has yet to be proposed for Turkish adults. This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the SHED index in Turkish adults.

Methods
Data were collected from 558 healthy adults using a web-based questionnaire. Internal consistency reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and repeatability was evaluated using the test-retest method. Construct validity was investigated using the EAT-Lancet diet and the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS), and the adapted SHED index structures’ accordance was evaluated with confirmatory factor analysis.

Results
Good reliability and repeatability were found (r = 0.758 and 0.795, respectively). A higher SHED index score was related to a greater intake of grains, fruits, and vegetables and a lower intake of meat, eggs, and dairy compared to EAT-Lancet diet food groups. A higher SHED index score was associated with a lower saturated fat and added sugar intake. While the SHED index was associated with greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet (r = 0.334, p < 0.001), it was negatively associated with non-alcoholic and diet non-alcoholic beverage consumption (r = −0.257 and −0.264, respectively; p < 0.001).

Conclusion
The SHED index showed good validity and reliability in Turkish adults. Our results suggest that the SHED index can be used in epidemiological and intervention studies because it allows the measurement of diets in terms of health and sustainability to propose adaptations accordingly.
