Objective The efficacy of early rehabilitation in patients in the intensive care unit is apparent. However, it is still unclear in COVID-19 patients. Also, the effects of diaphragm kinesiotaping on outcomes and muscle thickness were not shown previously. Thus, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of rehabilitation and diaphragm kinesiotaping in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia by evaluating with the ultrasonography of the diaphragm.
Methods Patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia in intensive care unit requiring high flow oxygen therapy included in the study. Patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia in intensive care unit requiring high flow oxygen therapy were divided into three groups: Group 1 (n = 22) rehabilitation, group 2 (n = 26) rehabilitation and diaphragm kinesiotaping, Group 3 (n = 24) control group-only standard intensive care unit care. Ultrasonographic measurements of diaphragm thickness and thickening fraction were recorded repeatedly.
Results The demographic characteristics, mortality, and length of stay were not different between groups. However, invasive mechanic ventilation requirement and the decrease in diaphragm thickness and thickening fraction values were significantly lower in the diaphragm kinesiotaping group. Baseline diaphragm thickness and thickening fraction values were found to impact invasive mechanic ventilation requirement. Cut-off values for these parameters are 2.85 mm and 37.95%, respectively.
Conclusion Baseline diaphragm thickness can be used to predict noninvasive ventilation failure. By the way, the patients who are more likely to develop respiratory failure should receive inspiratory muscle training exercises combined with general rehabilitation principles. Also, diaphragm kinesiotaping should be included in the rehabilitation protocol.

Objetivos: Desenvolver dois suportes para auxiliar na realização de exames de joelho, nos quais são necessárias aquisições de imagens radiográficas axiais da patela.
Materiais e métodos: Os protótipos foram construídos e testados com base nas medidas antropométricas coletadas de pacientes voluntários, e medidas do equipamento de raios-X do Laboratório de Radiologia da UTFPR (Brasil). Um suporte teve a função de acomodar os joelhos e o outro os receptores de imagens.
Resultados e discussões: Os materiais selecionados para a confecção dos protótipos são de baixo custo e de fácil aquisição. Nas avaliações preliminares os protótipos se mostraram resistentes ao manuseio. Os testes com os dois suportes atenderam aos parâmetros ergonômicos dos pacientes voluntários. O suporte para acomodação dos joelhos dos pacientes teve bons resultados na fase de testes, mas ao ser utilizado em exames de diferentes pacientes, constatou-se a necessidade de ajustá-lo conforme a anatomia de cada um e por isso não foi empregado. Já o suporte para o receptor de imagens, apresentou resultados satisfatórios, tanto para os pacientes quanto para o profissional das técnicas radiológicas. Este agilizou a rotina de exame, forneceu conforto ao paciente e as imagens adquiridas apresentaram qualidade diagnóstica. Em trabalhos futuros pretende-se desenvolver outros suportes de joelhos para maior diversidade de formas anatômicas.

Water scarcity for agriculture is increasingly evident due to climatic alterations and inadequate management of this resource. Therefore, developing digital models that help improve water resource management to provide solutions to agronomic problems in northern Mexico is necessary. In this context, the objective of the present research is to calibrate the Optical Trapezoid (OPTRAM) and Thermal-Optical Trapezoid (TOTRAM) models to estimate the volumetric soil moisture at different depths through vegetation indices derived from Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellite images using Google Earth Engine (GEE). Agricultural areas under gravity irrigation and rainfed runoff in the Comarca Lagunera, the lower part of the Hydrological Region No. 36 of the Nazas and Aguanaval rivers were selected for in-situ measurements. The OPTRAM and TOTRAM normalized moisture content (W) estimates were compared with in-situ volumetric soil moisture (Ɵ) data. Results indicate that the predictions of OPTRAM errors using Sentinel-2 images showed RMSE between 0.033 to 0.043 cm3 cm-3 and R2 between 0.66 to 0.75, whereas Landsat-8 errors showed RSME from 0.036 to from 0.036 to 0.057 cm3 cm-3 and R2 between 0.70 to 0.81. On the other hand, TOTRAM errors showed RMSE between 0.045 to 0.053 cm3 cm-3 and R2 between 0.62 to 0.85 through calibrations. This study made it possible to evaluate the most accurate combinations of the pixel distributions of each model and vegetation indices for the estimation of volumetric soil moisture within the different phenological stages of the crops.
Approaches to combating ageism among the elderly populations in Kenya
Authors: Nyangena Emily Moraa 
Published: July 2023

This study examined approaches to combating ageism among the elderly populations in Kenya. The study used a qualitative methodology, and it involved interviews with 30 experts on ageism from different parts of Kenya. The findings of the study suggest that there are a number of approaches that can be effective in combating ageism. Some of the approaches to combating ageism that were identified in the study include: Educational interventions: These interventions aim to teach people about ageism and its negative effects. They can be delivered in a variety of settings, such as schools, workplaces, and community organizations. Intergenerational contact: This type of intervention brings together people of different ages to interact with each other. This can help to break down stereotypes and promote positive attitudes towards older people. Policy changes: These interventions can help to reduce ageism by changing the way that older people are treated in society. For example, laws that protect older people from discrimination can help to create a more age-friendly environment. Media representation: The media can play a role in combating ageism by portraying older people in a positive light. This can help to challenge negative stereotypes and promote positive attitudes towards older people. The conclusion and recommendation of this study is that there are a number of approaches that can be effective in combating ageism. These approaches can help to reduce negative stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination, and they can promote positive attitudes towards older people.
Impact of iron fertilisation on atmospheric CO2 during the last glaciation

Published: July 2023

Abstract. While several processes have been identified to explain the decrease in atmospheric CO2 during glaciations, a better quantification of the contribution of each of these processes is needed. For example, enhanced aeolian iron input into the ocean during glacial times has been suggested to drive a 5 to 28 ppm atmospheric CO2 decrease. Here, we constrain this contribution by performing a set of sensitivity experiments with different aeolian iron input patterns and iron solubility factors under boundary conditions corresponding to 70 000 years before present (70 ka), a time period characterised by the first observed peak in glacial dust flux. We show that the decrease in CO2 as a function of Southern Ocean iron input follows an exponential decay relationship. This exponential decay response arises due to the saturation of the biological pump efficiency and levels out at ∼21 ppm in our simulations. We show that the changes in atmospheric CO2 are more sensitive to the solubility of iron in the ocean than the regional distribution of the iron fluxes. If surface water iron solubility is considered constant through time, we find a CO2 drawdown of ∼4 to ∼8 ppm. However, there is evidence that iron solubility was higher during glacial times. A best estimate of solubility changing from 1 % during interglacials to 3 % to 5 % under glacial conditions yields a ∼9 to 11 ppm CO2 decrease at 70 ka, while a plausible range of CO2 drawdown between 4 to 16 ppm is obtained using the wider but possible range of 1 % to 10 %. This would account for ∼12 %–50 % of the reconstructed decrease in atmospheric CO2 (∼32 ppm) between 71 and 64 ka. We further find that in our simulations the decrease in atmospheric CO2 concentration is solely driven by iron fluxes south of the Antarctic polar front, while iron fertilisation elsewhere plays a negligible role.
Warming of the Willamette River, 1850–present: the effects of climate change and river system alterations
Authors: Talke Stefan A. , Jay David A. , Diefenderfer Heida L. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Using archival research methods, we recovered and combined data from multiple sources to produce a unique, 140-year record of daily water
temperature (Tw) in the lower Willamette River, Oregon (1881–1890, 1941–present). Additional daily weather and river flow records from the 1850s onwards are used to develop and validate a statistical regression model of Tw for 1850–2020. The model simulates the time-lagged response of Tw to air temperature and river flow and is calibrated for three distinct time periods: the late 19th, mid-20th, and early 21st centuries. Results show that Tw has trended upwards at 1.1 ∘C per century since the mid-19th century, with the largest shift in January and February (1.3 ∘C per century) and the smallest in May and June (∼ 0.8 ∘C per century). The duration that the river exceeds the ecologically important threshold of 20 ∘C has increased by about 20 d since the 1800s, to about 60 d yr−1. Moreover, cold-water days below 2 ∘C have virtually disappeared, and the river no longer freezes. Since 1900, changes are primarily correlated with increases
in air temperature (Tw increase of 0.81 ± 0.25 ∘C) but also occur due to alterations in the river system such as depth increases from reservoirs (0.34 ± 0.12 ∘C). Managed release of water affects Tw seasonally, with an average reduction of up to 0.56 ∘C estimated for September. River system changes have decreased variability (σ) in daily minimum Tw by 0.44 ∘C, increased thermal memory, reduced interannual variability, and reduced the response to short-term meteorological forcing (e.g., heat waves). These changes fundamentally alter the response of Tw to climate change, posing additional stressors on fauna.

Introduction To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in a single surgical stage through a systematic review of the currently available evidence. Methods A systematic search of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases, with no publication date limit, until December 2022 was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Follow-up studies and case series published in English involving patients undergoing a combination of ACLR and MAT were included. The quality of these studies was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) checklist. A systematic review of the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), Lysholm and Tegner activity scores was conducted. Results Seven studies involving 154 patients were included. The mean follow-up was 5,3 years. The mean age at the time of the surgery was of 35.3 years. All studies used the Lysholm Knee score, IKDC score or Tegner activity score to measure clinical outcomes post-operatively and the mean improvements were 26.7, 24.7, and 1.8 respectively. The rate to return to sport was 75.5 %. No intra-operative complications were reported. The post-operative complication rate was 11.6%. Conclusions MAT combined with ACLR procedure showed good clinical results up to an average of 5 years of follow-up. More studies need to be conducted that can better understand the long-term effects of this combined procedure.
