Abstract
Kirk, H, Geertsen, SS, Lorentzen, J, Krarup, KB, Bandholm, T, and Nielsen, JB. Explosive resistance training increases rate of force development in ankle dorsiflexors and gait function in adults with cerebral palsy. J Strength Cond Res 30(10): 2749–2760, 2016—Alterations in passive elastic properties of muscles and reduced ability to quickly generate muscle force contribute to impaired gait function in adults with cerebral palsy (CP). In this study, we investigated whether 12 weeks of explosive and progressive heavy-resistance training (PRT) increases rate of force development of ankle dorsiflexors (RFDdf), improves gait function, and affects passive ankle joint stiffness in adults with CP. Thirty-five adults (age: 36.5; range: 18–59 years) with CP were nonrandomly assigned to a PRT or nontraining control (CON) group in this explorative trial. The PRT group trained ankle dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, leg press, hamstring curls, abdominal curls, and back extension 3 days per week for 12 weeks, with 3 sets per exercise and progressing during the training period from 12 to 6 repetition maximums. RFDdf, 3-dimensional gait analysis, functional performance, and ankle joint passive and reflex-mediated muscle stiffness were evaluated before and after. RFDdf increased significantly after PRT compared to CON. PRT also caused a significant increase in toe lift late in swing and a significantly more dorsiflexed ankle joint at ground contact and during stance. The increased toe-lift amplitude was correlated to the increased RFDdf (r = 0.73). No other between-group differences were observed. These findings suggest that explosive PRT may increase RFDdf and facilitate larger range of movement in the ankle joint during gait. Explosive PRT should be tested in clinical practice as part of a long-term training program for adults with CP.

Abstract
Richardson, DL and Clarke, ND. Effect of coffee and caffeine ingestion on resistance exercise performance. J Strength Cond Res 30(10): 2892–2900, 2016—The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of ingesting caffeine dose-matched anhydrous caffeine, coffee, or decaffeinated coffee plus anhydrous caffeine during resistance exercise on performance. Nine resistance-trained men (mean ± SD: age, 24 ± 2 years; weight, 84 ± 8 kg; height, 180 ± 8 cm) completed a squat and bench press exercise protocol at 60% 1 repetition maximum until failure on 5 occasions consuming 0.15 g·kg−1 caffeinated coffee (COF), 0.15 g·kg−1 decaffeinated coffee (DEC), 0.15 g·kg−1 decaffeinated coffee plus 5 mg·kg−1 anhydrous caffeine (D + C), 5 mg·kg−1 anhydrous caffeine (CAF), or a placebo (PLA). Felt arousal and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were used to assess perceptual variables and heart rate (HR) to assess physiological responses between trials. There were significant differences in total weight lifted for the squat between conditions (p < 0.01;

Authors: Samaan Zeina Marcho , Brown Courtney M. , Morehous John , Perkins Alison A. , Kahn Robert S. , Mansour Mona E. 
Published: February 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Previous studies have documented poor rates of delivery of preventive services, 1 of the core services provided in the primary care medical home setting. We aimed to increase the reliability of delivering a bundle of preventive services to patients 0 to 14 months of age from 58% of patient visits to 95% of visits. The bundle includes administration of routine vaccinations, offering influenza vaccination, completed lead screening, completed developmental screening tool, screening for maternal depression and food insecurity, and documentation of gestational age.

METHODS:
The setting was 3 academic pediatric primary care clinics that serve 31 000 patients (&gt;90% Medicaid). Quality improvement methodology was used and key driver diagram was determined. Patient “Ideal Visit Flow” and the Responsible, Accountable, Support, Consulted, and Informed Matrix were developed to drive accountability for components of the ideal flow. Plan, Do, Study, Act cycles were used to develop successful interventions. The percent of patients seen who received all bundle elements for which they were eligible was plotted weekly on a run chart, and statistical process control methods were used to determine a significant change in performance.

RESULTS:
The preintervention percentage of patient visits ages 0 to 14 months receiving all preventive service bundle elements was 58%. The postintervention percentage is 92%.

CONCLUSIONS:
Innovative redesign led to improvement in percentage of patients age 0 to 14 months who received the entire preventive services bundle. Key elements for success were multidisciplinary site-specific teams, redesigned visit flow, effective communication, and resources for data and project management.

Published: February 2016

BACKGROUND:
While children born at extremely low birth weight (ELBW; &lt;1000 g) are at elevated risk for peer victimization, no research has examined its effects on mental health in adulthood.

METHODS:
ELBW survivors and matched normal birth weight (NBW; &gt;2500 g) controls were part of a prospective, population-based study in Ontario, Canada. Peer victimization before age 16 was self-reported at age 22 to 26 years by using a 10-point measure. Presence of psychiatric disorders was examined at age 22 to 26 years (ELBW n = 142, NBW n = 133) and age 29 to 36 years (ELBW n = 84, NBW n = 90).

RESULTS:
After adjustment for confounding variables, for each 1-point increase in the peer victimization score, ELBW survivors had increased odds of current depressive (odds ratio [OR] = 1.67, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23–2.28), anxiety (OR = 1.36, 95% CI, 1.05–1.76), avoidant (OR = 1.39, 95% CI, 1.08–1.79), antisocial (OR = 1.92, 95% CI, 1.06–2.87), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity (OR = 1.39, 95% CI, 1.06–1.83) problems at age 22 to 26 years. At age 29 to 36 years, peer victimization score predicted increased odds of current panic disorder (OR = 1.69, 95% CI, 1.01–2.83) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OR = 3.56, 95% CI, 1.25–10.09). For NBW controls, peer victimization predicted increased odds of antisocial problems at age 22 to 26 years.

CONCLUSIONS:
ELBW survivorsand NBW participants are vulnerable to the adverse psychiatric effects of childhood peer victimization in adulthood.

Authors: Massignan Carla , Cardoso Mariane , Porporatti André Luís , Aydinoz Secil , Canto Graziela De Luca , Mezzomo Luis Andre Mendonça , Bolan Michele 
Published: February 2016

CONTEXT:
Symptoms associated with the primary tooth eruption have been extensively studied but it is still controversial.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the occurrence of local and systemic signs and symptoms during primary tooth eruption.

DATA SOURCES:
Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences, PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched. A partial gray literature search was taken by using Google Scholar and the reference lists of the included studies were scanned.

STUDY SELECTION:
Observational studies assessing the association of eruption of primary teeth with local and systemic signs and symptoms in children aged 0 to 36 months were included.

DATA EXTRACTION:
Two authors independently collected the information from the selected articles. Information was crosschecked and confirmed for its accuracy.

RESULTS:
A total of 1179 articles were identified, and after a 2-phase selection, 16 studies were included. Overall prevalence of signs and symptoms occurring during primary tooth eruption in children between 0 and 36 months was 70.5% (total sample = 3506). Gingival irritation (86.81%), irritability (68.19%), and drooling (55.72%) were the most frequent ones.

LIMITATIONS:
Different general symptoms were considered among studies. Some studies presented lack of confounding factors, no clear definition of the diagnostics methods, use of subjective measures and long intervals between examinations.

CONCLUSIONS:
There is evidence of the occurrence of signs and symptoms during primary tooth eruption. For body temperature analyses, eruption could lead to a rise in temperature, but it was not characterized as fever.

A Study of Arsenic Dopant Concentration and Activity as a Function of Growth Conditions in Polycrystalline MOCVD-Grown CdTe
Authors: Stafford Anne , Irvine Stuart J.C. , Durose Ken , Zoppi Guillaume 
Published: February 2016

AbstractP-type CdTe can be produced via acceptor doping with As. However, as with other II/VI materials, the dopant behaviour is not simple, as there is the potential for compensating species to be formed from intrinsic defects and dopant-defect complexes. A further complication is introduced by the presence of grain boundaries in polycrystalline material. This study demonstrates that dopant concentration is a function of VI/II ratio in the growth ambient, and that resistivity is minimised for a dopant concentration of < 2 × 1018 at.cm-3. Grain size is also affected by the VI/II ratio, increasing slightly as the growth ambient becomes more Te-rich.
Effects of Dexamethasone and Placebo on Symptom Clusters in Advanced Cancer Patients: A Preliminary Report
Authors: Yennurajalingam Sriram , Williams Janet L. , Chisholm Gary , Bruera Eduardo 
Published: February 2016

Abstract

Objective.
Advanced cancer patients frequently experience debilitating symptoms that occur in clusters, but few pharmacological studies have targeted symptom clusters. Our objective was to examine the effects of dexamethasone on symptom clusters in patients with advanced cancer.

Methods.
We reviewed the data from a previous randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of dexamethasone on cancer symptoms. Symptom clusters were identified according to baseline symptoms by using principal component analysis. Correlations and change in the severity of symptom clusters were analyzed after study treatment.

Results.
A total of 114 participants were included in this study. Three clusters were identified: fatigue/anorexia-cachexia/depression (FAD), sleep/anxiety/drowsiness (SAD), and pain/dyspnea (PD). Changes in severity of FAD and PD significantly correlated over time (at baseline, day 8, and day 15). The FAD cluster was associated with significant improvement in severity at day 8 and day 15, whereas no significant change was observed with the SAD cluster or PD cluster after dexamethasone treatment.

Conclusion.
The results of this preliminary study suggest significant correlation over time and improvement in the FAD cluster at day 8 and day 15 after treatment with dexamethasone. These findings suggest that fatigue, anorexia-cachexia, and depression may share a common pathophysiologic basis. Further studies are needed to investigate this cluster and target anti-inflammatory therapies.

Background: Stimulus‐responsive devices have emerged as a novel approach for local drug delivery. This study investigates the feasibility of a novel chitosan‐based, pH‐responsive hydrogel loaded with N‐phenacylthiazolium bromide (PTB), which cleaves the crosslinks of advanced glycation end products on the extracellular matrix.Methods: A chitosan‐based hydrogel loaded with PTB was fabricated, and the in vitro release profile was evaluated within pH 5.5 to 7.4. BALB/cJ mice and Sprague‐Dawley rats were used to evaluate the effects during the induction and recovery phases of periodontitis, respectively, and animals in each phase were divided into four groups: 1) no periodontitis induction; 2) ligature‐induced experimental periodontitis (group PR); 3) experimental periodontitis plus hydrogel without PTB (group PH); and 4) experimental periodontitis plus hydrogel with PTB (group PP). The therapeutic effects were evaluated by microcomputed tomographic imaging of periodontal bone level (PBL) loss and histomorphometry for inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen density.Results: PTB was released faster at pH 5.5 to 6.5 and consistently slower at pH 7.4. In the induction phase, PBL and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly reduced in group PP relative to group PR, and the loss of collagen matrix was significantly reduced relative to that observed in group PH. In the recovery phase, PBL and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly reduced, and significantly greater collagen deposition was noted in group PP relative to groups PR and PH at 4 and 14 days after silk removal.Conclusion: Chitosan‐based, pH‐responsive hydrogels loaded with PTB can retard the initiation of and facilitate the recovery from experimental periodontitis.

Patient’s compliance can be enhanced by using extended release drug delivery systems which allow decreasing the number of daily doses, and helping to maintain uniform drug levels and increase the safety margin for high-potency drugs. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is the most commonly used hydrophilic polymer for the preparation of oral controlled drug delivery systems. This research was conducted with the aim of developing matrix based oral controlled release tablets for the drug diclofenac sodium using different viscosity grades of HPMC (K15M) and to compare the drug release characteristics with those of a commercial product, Voltaren® SR 100. Similarity factor (f2), values in between test formulation and marketed preparation was calculated to choose the best formulation. The release kinetics from various matrices was also studied. Increasing in polymer content reduced the rate of drug release. At the same polymer content in the matrix, the drug release was most sustained with tablets prepared using HPMC (K15M). Out of all the formulations studies, matrix tablets containing 40% of HPMC (K15M) showed comparable dissolution profile to that of the marketed preparation as indicated by a similarity factor value of (f2) 88.30%. The release of drug from marketed preparation and matrix with HPMC (K15M) 40% was found to be a diffusion drug mechanism as per Higuchi equation.

Published: February 2016

Neste artigo, apresentamos alguns resultados de pesquisa em andamento que busca examinar as potencialidades das “narrativas de si” para a constituição do saber histórico escolar e para a produção de identidades docentes. Tendo por base a análise de aulas de História no Ensino Médio ministradas por uma professora reconhecida como marcante por seus antigos alunos, discutimos algumas potencialidades didáticas emergentes da análise das “narrativas de si”. Especialmente, a influência desse aspecto do ensino na “negociação de distâncias” entre professora e alunos, que viabiliza a aproximação dos conteúdos da disciplina História com a realidade do aluno e com o tempo presente. Bem como sua influência na relação com o ensino de conteúdos, valores éticos e morais. Foi possível, também, registrar indícios de transformação, simultânea e contínua, no processo de constituição de sua identidade docente.
