Published: August 2016

AbstractBackground:Published data on breast milk feeding in infants suffering from inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) other than phenylketonuria (PKU) are limited and described outcome is variable.Objective:We aimed to evaluate retrospectively whether breastfeeding and/or breast milk feeding are feasible in infants with IMDs including organic acidemias, fatty acid oxidation disorders, urea cycle disorders, aminoacidopathies or disorders of galactose metabolism.Methods:Data on breastfeeding and breast milk feeding as well as monitoring and neurological outcome were collected retrospectively from our database of patients with the mentioned IMD, who were followed in our metabolic center within the last 10 years.Results:Twenty patients were included in the study, who were either breast fed on demand or received expressed breast milk. All the infants were evaluated clinically and biochemically at 2–4-week intervals, with weight gain as the leading parameter to determine metabolic control. Good metabolic control and adequate neurological development were achieved in all patients but one, who experienced the only metabolic crisis observed within the study period.Conclusion:Breast milk feeding with close clinical and biochemical monitoring is feasible in most IMD and should be considered as it offers nutritional and immunological benefits.
Unmasking the Faces of Diverse University Students and Professors through Narrative Ethnography
Authors: Wilder Lynn K. , Vázquez-Montilla Elia , Greene Jackie 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Authors in this special issue of Multicultural Learning and Teaching utilized emerging qualitative research methodology, narrative ethnography, to seek to understand and then to describe the innermost fears and joys and to hear recommendations from the diverse individuals they interviewed, observed, and formed a relationship with over time. Most are university professors and students, and one the father of a student, who depict their experiences with teachers and professors in educational contexts in the United States over time. The narratives are moving and thoroughly engross the reader in their worlds.Several individuals are twice-diverse given both ethnicity and disability or language. This added component of a second diverse aspect in their lives makes these stories particularly compelling. Narrative ethnography is a powerful authentic way to unmask the faces behind the façade and discover individuals’ personal, evolving realities, so teachers and professors can maximize student potential.
The significance of health selection among divers and its effect on diving safety
Authors: Jóźwiak Dariusz , Olszański Romuald , Dąbrowiecki Zbigniew , Remlain Małgorzata 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Diving is a kind of human activity that requires special health predispositions due to the nature of an aquatic environment. The environment of an increased atmospheric pressure imposes a significantly greater burden on the respiratory and circulatory system as compared with normobaric conditions. Due to their health status, not everyone among those that wish to take up diving should undergo diving training, as diving can have an adverse effect on their condition while staying under water and considerably raise the risk of an occurrence of a diving accident. As regards diving activities performed within the Armed Forces, individuals with particular health burdens are eliminated via the medical checks conducted at the time of recruitment to the diving service. The checks, based on detailed parameters and described in legal acts, minimise the risk of an occurrence of a diving accident. This problem is quite different when it comes to recreational diving, where quite often, by presenting a health certificate, an interested diver candidate begins a training course and further individual diving activities while being aware of a medical condition that may affect their future safety under water. An analysis of the effect of health selection on the level of diving safety was performed.

Abstract
The article describes the case of a neurological form of decompression sickness, which occurred in the course of a short training dive to the medium depth using the air as the breathing mix. The subject was treated according to the 3rd air recompression table. Despite an immediate hyperbaric treatment followed by hospitalisation residual neurological symptoms remained throughout the entire observation period.
The circadian rhythm of core body temperature (Part I): The use of modern telemetry systems to monitor core body temperature variability
Authors: Słomko Joanna , Zalewski Paweł 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The best known daily rhythms in humans include: the sleep-wake rhythm, the circadian core body temperature variability, daily fluctuations in arterial blood pressure and heartbeat frequency, and daily changes in hormone secretion: e.g. melatonin, cortisol, growth hormone, prolactin. The core body temperature in humans has a characteristic sinusoidal course, with the maximum value occurring between 3:00-5:00 pm and the minimum between 3:00-5:00 am. Analysis of literature indicates that the obtained results concerning core body temperature are to a large extent influenced by the type of method applied in the measurement. Depending on test protocols, we may apply various methodologies to measuring core body temperature. One of the newest methods of measuring internal and external body temperature consists in the utilisation of remote temperature sensors transmitting the obtained value via a radio signal. The advantages of this method includes the ability to perform: continuous core temperature measurement, observe dynamic changes in core body temperature occurring in circadian rhythm and the repeatability and credibility of the obtained results, which is presented in numerous scientific reports.

Published: August 2016

Abstract
The crystal structures of monoclinic samarium and cubic europium sesquioxide, Sm2O3 and Eu2O3, were reinvestigated by powder diffraction methods (laboratory X-ray, synchrotron, neutron). Rietveld analysis yields more precise structural parameters than previously known, especially for oxygen atoms. Interatomic distances d(Sm–O) in Sm2O3 range from 226.3(4) to 275.9(2) pm [average 241.6(3) pm] for the monoclinic B type Sm2O3 [space group C2/m, a = 1418.04(3) pm, b = 362.660(7) pm, c = 885.48(2) pm, β = 100.028(1)°], d(Eu–O) in Eu2O3 from 229.9(2) to 238.8(2) pm for the cubic bixbyite (C) type [space group Ia3̅, a = 1086.87(1) pm]. Neutron diffraction at 50 K and 2 K did not show any sign for magnetic ordering in Sm2O3. Isotopically enriched 154Sm2O3 and 153Eu2O3 were used for the neutron diffraction work because of the enormous absorption cross section of the natural isotopic mixtures for thermal neutrons. The isotopic purity was determined by inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry to be 98.9% for 154Sm and 99.8% for 153Eu. Advanced analysis of the neutron diffraction data suggest that the bound coherent scattering lengths of 154Sm and 153Eu need to be revised. We tentatively propose b
c(154Sm) = 8.97(6) fm and b
c(153Eu) = 8.85(3) fm for a neutron wavelength of 186.6 pm to be better values for these isotopes, showing up to 8% deviation from accepted literature values. It is shown that inaccurate scattering lengths may result in severe problems in crystal structure refinements causing erroneous structural details such as occupation parameters, which might be critically linked to physical properties like superconductivity in multinary oxides.
Synthese von Hitzeschockproteinen nach einer Aminosäure-und Sauerstofflimitation in Bacillus subtilis relA+-und relA-Stämmen / Synthesis of Heat Shock Proteins during Amino Acid or Oxygen Limitation Bacillus subtilis relA+ and relA
Authors: Hecker M. , Richter A. , Schroeter A. , Wölfel L. , Mach F. 
Published: August 2016

Some of the presumable heat shock proteins will be produced in Bacillus subtilis in response to different environmental conditions, e.g. heat shock, amino acid limitation or oxygen limitation. During amino acid limitation or during oxygen limitation the relA+ strain is able of synthesizing this set of proteins but the relA strain is not. We suggest that the accelerated rate of the synthesis of some heat shock proteins depends on the induction of the stringent response because the (p)ppGpp production does not occur in the relA strain during amino acid or oxygen limitation. On the other hand the relA strain can produce heat shock proteins under heat stress. Therefore different mechanisms must be responsible for the expression of this set of genes during heat and other stress stimuli.
It can be supposed that in B. subtilis the (p)ppGpp-dependent stringent control is a central defense reaction against different adverse environmental conditions and furthermore, that the synthesis of “stress” proteins as an essential component of the stringent response is part of a general adaptation mechanism under non-growing conditions.
Light and Electron Microscopic Studies Regarding Cell Contractility and Cell Coupling in Light Sensitive Smooth Muscle Cells from the Isolated Frog Iris Sphincter
Authors: Wolf Klaus V. 
Published: August 2016

(1) In light microscopical studies of living isolated frog irises, it was found that the maximal areas of experimentally light induced contractions in the m. sphincter pupillae were located beneath small illuminated regions. There were no visible contractions of muscle cells outside the illuminated areas. It was shown that exposure to light could directly cause contractions of isolated single sphincter muscle cells.
(2) Junctional structures of the iris sphincter cells were studied by means of thin sections and freeze fracture electron microscopy. Intermediate junctions, a few focal tight junctions and occasional small gap junctions were identified. Pit containing intramembranous particles which resemble gap junction connexons were found in large numbers, dispersed over the plasmalemmas of sphincter muscle cells.
From these physiological and morphological observations, it is concluded that sphincter muscle cells of the frog iris may be coupled via gap junctions, but that the cell coupling is not sufficiently extensive to form the basis for a functional syncytium.

AbstractSweetpotatoIpomoea batatasis known as a hexaploid species. Here, we analyzed carotenoids contained in the leaves and tubers of sweetpotato cultivars ‘White Star’ (WS) and W71. These cultivars were found to contain several carotenoids unique to sweetpotato tubers such as β-carotene-5,6,5′,8′-diepoxide and β-carotene-5,8-epoxide. Next, we isolated two kinds of carotene cyclase genes that encode lycopene β- and ε-cyclases from the WS and W71 leaves, by RT-PCR and subsequent RACE. Two and three lycopene β-cyclase gene sequences were, respectively, isolated from WS, namedIbLCYb1,2, and from W71,IbLCYb3,4,5. Meanwhile, only a single lycopene ε-cyclase gene sequence, designatedIbLCYe, was isolated from both WS and W71. These genes were separately introduced into a lycopene-synthesizingEscherichia colitransformed with thePantoea ananatis crtE,crtBandcrtIgenes, followed by HPLC analysis. β-Carotene was detected inE. colicells that carriedIbLCYb1-4, indicating that theIbLCYb1-4genes encode lycopene β-cyclase. Meanwhile, the introduction ofIbLCYeinto the lycopene-synthesizingE. coliled to efficient production of δ-carotene with a monocyclic ε-ring, providing evidence that theIbLCYegene codes for lycopene ε-(mono)cyclase. Expression of the β- and ε-cyclase genes was analyzed as well.

Published: August 2016

IntroductionGastrin has been shown to promote beta-cell proliferation in rodents, but its effects in adult humans are largely unclear. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) lead to endogenous hypergastrinaemia, and improved glucose control during PPI therapy has been reported in patients with diabetes. Therefore, we addressed whether PPI treatment is associated with improved glucose homoeostasis, islet cell hyperplasia or increased new beta-cell formation in humans.Patients and methodsPancreatic tissue specimens from 60 patients with and 33 patients without previous PPI therapy were examined. The group was subdivided into patients without diabetes (n = 27), pre-diabetic patients (n = 31) and patients with diabetes (n = 35).ResultsFasting glucose and HbA1clevels were not different between patients with and without PPI therapy (P = 0.34 andP = 0.30 respectively). Beta-cell area was higher in patients without diabetes than in patients with pre-diabetes or diabetes (1.33 ± 0.12%, 1.05 ± 0.09% and 0.66 ± 0.07% respectively;P < 0.0001). There was no difference in beta-cell area between patients with and without PPI treatment (1.05 ± 0.08% vs 0.87 ± 0.08%, respectively;P = 0.16). Beta-cell replication was rare and not different between patients with and without PPI therapy (P = 0.20). PPI treatment was not associated with increased duct-cell replication (P = 0.18), insulin expression in ducts (P = 0.28) or beta-cell size (P = 0.63).ConclusionsThese results suggest that in adult humans, chronic PPI treatment does not enhance beta-cell mass or beta-cell function to a relevant extent.

Authors: Manthiram Kalpana , Nesbitt Emily , Morgan Thomas , Edwards Kathryn M. 
Published: August 2016

OBJECTIVE:
The goal of this study was to describe family history and inheritance patterns in patients with periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome.

METHODS:
We performed a case–control study to compare the family histories of patients with PFAPA recruited from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and matched healthy control subjects from a pediatric primary care practice in Nashville, Tennessee, by using a structured questionnaire. Characteristics of paired case subjects, control subjects, and their family members were compared by using McNemar’s test and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.

RESULTS:
Eighty PFAPA index case subjects and 80 control subjects were recruited. Eighteen PFAPA case subjects (23%) had ≥1 family member with PFAPA. Parents of PFAPA index case subjects were more likely to have recurrent pharyngitis (36% vs 16%; P &lt; .001) and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (46% vs 28%; P = .002) compared with parents of control subjects. Siblings of case subjects had a higher prevalence of PFAPA (10% vs 2%; P = .04), recurrent pharyngitis (24% vs 10%; P = .03), and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (27% vs 7%; P = .003) compared with siblings of control subjects.

CONCLUSIONS:
A portion of PFAPA case subjects seems to be familial, implying an inherited genetic predisposition to the disorder and/or shared environmental exposures. First-degree relatives (parents and siblings) of patients with PFAPA have a higher prevalence of recurrent pharyngitis and aphthous stomatitis than relatives of control subjects, which suggests that these disorders represent reduced penetrance phenotypes of PFAPA. Further characterization of the genetics and inflammatory profiles of these patients and their relatives is warranted.
The Rights and Freedoms of Moroccan Women: has the 2004 reforms benefited Moroccan Women?
Authors: Booley Ashraf 
Published: August 2016

Morocco has maintained its identity and adherence to the Islamic faith since before colonialism and after. As a result of such identity the Moroccan monarchy over the years developed the Code of Personal Status (referred to as the mudawana) which affected only the Muslim population. This type of family law was drawn mostly from Islamic doctrines with little or no participation of women. The mudawana has been criticised by many as being one-side and feminist groups have made numerous calls for a reformed mudawana that addressed the plight of women and to improve their status within the wider community. In 2004, the monarchy decided to reform the mudawana as a result of women’s groups pressuring the monarchy to do so. The 2004 reforms has the possibility of enhancing the rights of Moroccan women, for example, a wife is no longer legally obliged to obey her husband, contrary to a widely-held custom which regards obedience as an absolute duty of a Muslim wife, the minimum age for marriage for both parties eighteen years of age, including free and full consent. Polygyny has also been addressed. Although the 2004 version kept the concept of polygyny, there are severe restrictions to curtail this practice, for example, judicial authorisation is required as well as informing the current wife of the prospect. There are certain obstacles that seem to be hampering the full implementation of 2004 reforms which are discussed in this contribution.
REFLEXÃO DO AUTOCUIDADO ENTRE OS PROFISSIONAIS DE ENFERMAGEM
Authors: Cruz Ticiana Assemany , Carvalho Andrezza Martins Costa , Da Silva Robélia Dorea 
Published: August 2016

O autocuidado é um conjunto de ações desenvolvidas para regular as dimensões que afetam o próprio desenvolvimento, esse conceito faz parte da Teoria Geral, escrito em 1991 pela enfermeira Dorothea Orem. O ser humano quando está aparentemente bem e saudável, não se dá a devida importância, só sente a necessidade de rever o estilo de vida, quando algum elemento de suas necessidades humanas básicas é afetado. O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar a prática do autocuidado dos enfermeiros para a efetividade na assistência com o outro. Trata-se de um estudo em caráter de revisão integrativa de literatura, pelo levantamento de 23 estudos publicados entre 2003 a 2014, em revistas indexadas nas bases de dados nacionais. Os resultados apontam que o cuidado - para atingir suas dimensões enfermeiro e paciente - precisa ser bidirecional, compreendendo que o déficit de autocuidado profissional torna mais suscetível a falhas no cuidado e exposição à contaminação. Esse estudo serve como fonte de incentivo para novas pesquisas relacionadas à temática com profissionais de saúde. O cuidado é o atributo fundamental para a enfermagem, mas para exercer em sua plenitude é essencial fazer uso das técnicas corretas, ter um processo de trabalho organizado e prestar seu serviço em um ambienteque proponha qualidade de vida no trabalho, sendo assim conclui-se que são atributos da academia, formar profissionais atuantes no autocuidado, e a organização, que presta serviço ao outro, promover planos de gestão e ergonomia para cuidar de quem cuida, pois somente dessa forma, o cuidador e o paciente sairão fortalecidos dessa relação com uma assistência efetiva.

<p>Women participation in decision making is a manifestation of equality between men and women. Public arena is dominated by men meanwhile the women were put mainly only on domestic domain and almost didn’t have any access to the public arena. Main issue of this research was the women participation in decision making in Leo discussion at<br />Rote Ndao district. This was a descriptive qualitative research with phenomenological and cultural approaches. Data collection techniques used were interview with informants, observation and document analysis. From this research it was known that the women participation in Leo discussion was limited only on giving comments and advices, final<br />decision was then made by the male, because tradition said that men had the rights on decision making. Although still dominated by men, there were some women participation in Leo discussion, women could made decision which related to technical means issues in Leo discussion. Public area were still dominated by men and its domestic counterparts were still fully done by the womens. Women were heard if they were highly educated, women were respected when they were experienced, oldest, had life character which put in high regard, not arrogant, motherly, mildly resolute, and used to public appearances.</p>
