Acute Kinematic Changes as a Response to Barefoot Habituation Training Program
Authors: Azeem Zafar , Rathod Priyanshu V , Palekar Tushar J. 
Published: January 2023

Context:
Barefoot running has seen a lot of scientific interest in the running community over the last decade. However, there are conflicting claims to its efficacy in improving acute adaptations in the form of joint kinematics. Interventions to transition from shod running to barefoot running are limited in scope and implementation.

Aim:
The study investigated the kinematic differences between barefoot and habitually shod runners following 8 weeks of habituation training. It was hypothesized that the habituation phase with gradual increments in time spent barefoot would result in better kinematic changes in barefoot runners compared to habitual shod (in-shoe).
Setting and Design: Randomized parallel arm trial conducted on professional runners.

Methods and Materials:
Thirty-two (n = 32) professional runners with a mean age of 21.5 ± 2.04 years with standing height measuring 1.69 ± 0.04 m and weighing 69 ± 3.55 kg were selected for the study. Participants were randomly allocated to experimental barefoot and control shod groups using computer-generated sequencing. The barefoot group received an transition plan in which the participants progressed from average time spent in walking and running barefoot. The control shod group was not required to do any changes to their traditional in-shoe training.
Statistical analysis used: The primary outcome measures were joint kinematics at trunk, hip, knee and foot during the treadmill walk analyzed thorough independent T test and paired t test. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05.

Results:
The results indicated that the experimental barefoot group showed statistically significant (P < 0.01) changes to trunk flexion-extension during the preswing phase of running. Similarly, hip flexion-extension ranges were statistically significant (P < 0.01) in the habitual shod (in-shoe) group during the preswing to the terminal swing of running. Hip and knee flexion-extension ranges improved in the barefoot group with a statistical difference of P = 0.00 following 8 weeks of barefoot training. The mean difference for the change in hip and knee flexion ranges was of a higher magnitude for the barefoot group (26.88°) than the shod group (13.23°). Similarly, foot pronation-supination ranges improved for the barefoot group with P = 0.00.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, running barefoot was no different from shod running, although habitually in-shoe athletes, when transitioning to barefoot condition, were essentially better at adopting the natural running style for certain variables.
Effect of Somatosensory Intervention on Joint Hypermobility and Proprioception in Young Dancers and Nondancers
Authors: Patel Priya , Chivate Shukra 
Published: January 2023

Context:
Generalized joint hypermobility is frequent in youngsters, particularly among young dancers. It can cause proprioception problems, discomfort, muscular weakness, musculoskeletal injuries, and joint dislocations. It can be a major source of lower limb injuries in dancers with hypermobility. As a result, it is critical to keep hypermobility under control to avoid damage.

Aim:
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of somatosensory training on joint hypermobility and proprioception in young dancers and nondancers using the Beighton scale and comprehensive scale of proprioception.
Settings and Design: Comparative study in dancers and non dances from dancing academy.

Methods and Materials:
A study was conducted on children with joint hypermobility, in which a total of 18 young dancers and 18 nondancers between the ages of 8 and 15 were selected from Belgaum's dance academy and other coaching classes. On the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria, the youngsters were screened. Both groups received 15-min somatosensory training 4 times a week for 6 weeks. Beighton score and comprehensive observation of proprioception were used to assess hypermobility and proprioception. The assessment was done at the start of the intervention and again after 6 weeks.
Statistical analysis used: The paired t-test and independent sample t-test were used to compare outcome measures.

Results:
Both groups showed considerable improvements in proprioception and hypermobility with P < 0.001 showing statistical significance. However, when a between-group analysis was performed, the postmean score for hypermobility in Group B was not significant with P = 0.32.

Conclusion:
According to the findings, a 6-week somatosensory intervention improves hypermobility and proprioception in young children.
Effect of Pilates Ring Exercises on Pelvic Floor Muscles in Female with Stress Urinary Incontinence – Randomized Control Trial
Authors: Joshi Reema , Rathi Manisha , Parmar Nidhi 
Published: January 2023

Context:
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined by the International Continence Society as “Involuntary loss of urine which is unhygienic and social embarrassment causes negative self-perception.” UI is a problem which grows silently and causes physical as well as social limitations and deteriorates the quality of life (QOL) of women.

Aims:
The aim of this study is to find out the effect of Pilates exercises using the ring on the pelvic floor muscle (PFM) on PFM strength, severity of stress UI (SUI), and QOL in females with UI.

Settings and Design:
This study was conducted in the Outpatient Department, Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Physiotherapy, Pune, randomized control trial.

Methods and Materials:
Fifty-two females with SUI participated in the study. They were further divided into two groups Group A (experimental group [EG]) and Group B (control group [CG]). For the prepost assessment, vaginal pressure was measured by pressure manometer, core strength, severity of incontinence was assessed by using pad test (1 h) and frequency chart (7 days), QOL was measured using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ).

Statistical Analysis Used:
Between the groups, analyses were performed using independent t-tests and the Mann–Whitney test. The core strength and the PFM strength show highly significant change with P < 0.05 in Group A compared to B, whereas the severity of incontinence on the frequency chart and QOL with ICIQ were not statically significant.

Results:
EG showed a highly significant difference in PFM and core P < 0.05 in comparison to the control group. While moderate significance was seen in PFM strength and severity of the stress UI.

Conclusions:
The study concludes that Pilates with a ring along with the PFM exercises is a better alternative to only PFM exercise.

Published: January 2023

Background and Aim:
Conventional surgery for caustic/thermal strictures (CS/TS) entails considerable trauma, which may be mitigated by minimal access surgery (MAS). Experience with its use in CS/TS is both heterogeneous and limited, hence, warrants a comprehensive review.

Methods:
Medical literature/indexing databases were systematically searched for pertinent articles published in English, from 1990 to 2021, and analysed.

Results:
Fifty relevant articles, pertaining to over 200 patients, were found. They showed that MAS is feasible in CS/TS management. It reduces the access damage in chest and abdomen whilst facilitating resection or bypass of the affected gut segment through different combination of operations, sequence of steps, conduits and routes. The procedures range from completely minimal access to hybrid ones, with reduced complications and faster recovery. Hybrid procedures prove as expeditious as open ones.

Conclusions:
MAS proves efficacious in restoring alimentary continuity in corrosive/thermal strictures of the foregut.

Aim:
We herein present our clinical experience in laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder perforation (GBP).

Materials and Methods:
Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 44 patients who diagnosed with GBP from January 2015 to November 2020.

Results:
The mean age of the 44 patients was 64.0 years and the female-to-male ratio was 20:24. The most common type of GBP was Type II, followed by Type I and Type III (31:9:4). 72.7% of the patients were diagnosed with GBP at the time of surgery. Laparoscopic surgery was performed for 38 (86.4%) patients, with a conversion rate of 13.2%. The mean length of hospital stays was 7.8 days. The mortality and morbidity rates were 2.3% and 11.4%, respectively.

Conclusions:
Pre-operative diagnosis of GBP is difficult. Laparoscopic surgery is safe, feasible and effective for patients with GBP.
Utility of lactate, central venous oxygen saturation, and the difference in venous and arterial CO2partial pressures (delta pCO2) levels in quantifying microcirculatory failure
Authors: Ayguler Emrullah , Gençay Genco Ali , Demirkol Demet 
Published: January 2023

Background:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the utility of lactate, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), and the difference in venous and arterial CO2 partial pressures (delta pCO2) levels and their relationship with the prognosis of critically ill children with circulatory failure in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Subjects and Methods:
Thirty children with circulatory failure who were admitted to the PICU of a tertiary university hospital between January 15 and November 1, 2020, were evaluated in this prospective observational study. Lactate levels, ScVO2, and delta pCO2 levels were evaluated on admission and at hours 4, 12, and 24 (T0, T4, T12, T24) in the PICU.

Results:
The mortality of the children with circulatory failure was 30% (n = 9). Arterial and venous lactate levels were highly correlated at T0, T4, T12, T24 (P < 0.001; P < 0.001; P < 0.001; P < 0.001, respectively). Nonsurvivors had always higher arterial lactate levels (T0, T4, T12, T24) (P = 0.019, P = 0.007, P = 0.002, P = 0.0003, respectively) and higher delta pCO2 at T0 (P = 0.039) when compared with survivors. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that T0 arterial lactate levels (area under the curve [AUC] 0.788, P = 0.019), T24 arterial lactate (AUC 0.918, P < 0,001), and T0 delta pCO2 levels (AUC 0,741, P = 0.039) and were predictive of mortality.

Conclusions:
Lactate remains the most important marker of microcirculatory dysfunction in critically ill children with circulatory failure. Delta pCO2 may be an additional marker of microcirculatory dysfunction in critically ill children.

Published: January 2023

Background:
Advances in neonatal and pediatric intensive care have increased the number of children who survive with disabilities. The management of the tracheostomized child is a complex and demanding assignment as they have higher rates of complications. Ideally, the decannulation process should proceed once the child no longer requires mechanical ventilation and the underlying pathology has resolved or been reversed. This study highlights our experience in managing pediatric tracheostomy decannulation at a tertiary care center.

Subjects and Methods:
This was a single-center, prospective study conducted at the tertiary care pediatric hospital for a period of 1 year. Children with tracheostomy in situ who got admitted for laryngotracheobronchoscopy and decannulation were included.

Results:
Indication of tracheostomy was broadly divided into reasons causing upper airway obstruction and those requiring prolonged intubation. It showed that 82% were due to prolonged intubation, in which 85.3% were due to neurological reasons. The success rate for decannulation was 97%. Age of child, duration of intubation, posttracheostomy period, and type of tracheostomy tube had no significant correlation with outcome of tracheostomy decannulation.

Conclusions:
Resolution of primary indication for tracheostomy is required before planning of tracheotomy decannulation. Bronchoscopic airway evaluation and decannulation trial in operation theater is needed for successful decannulation. There was no impact of age, duration of intubation, posttracheostomy period, and type of tracheostomy tube on the outcome of tracheostomy decannulation.
Membaca Ulang Injil Dan Kebudayaan Dalam Tradisi Batak Toba

How can theology rationalize an irrational object, namely: God? If the effort to study theology wants to rationalize these irrational objects, then theology cannot be separated from scientific branches outside of itself. This article aims to re-read the Bible and Culture in the Toba Batak tradition. The research method used is the cultural sociology approach. While the result of this research is that the church is confronted with the postmodern perception of the human mind. In it there is an awareness that on earth there are many truths that are scattered. Each truth does not conflict with each other, but complements one another, because the existence of one truth is only real when it is side by side with other truths. This belief must of course be expressed in the utterances of words and sentences in the church rites room, both verbally and in writing.

Bagaimana teologi bisa merasionalkan suatu objek yang tidak rasional, yaitu: Allah? Apabila usaha pembelajaran teologi hendak merasionalkan objek yang tidak rasional tersebut, maka teologi tidak bisa lepas dari cabang keilmuan di luar dirinya. Artikel ini bertujuan membaca ulang Injil dan Kebudayaan dalam tradisi Batak Toba. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dengan pendekatan sosiologi budaya. Sednag hasil penelitian ini adalah gereja diperhadapkan pada persepsi pikiran manusia yang Postmodern. Di dalamnya ada kesadaran bahwa di muka bumi banyak kebenaran yang bertebaran. Masing-masing kebenaran tidak saling bertentangan, tetapi mengisi antara yang satu dengan lainnya, sebab eksistensi kebenaran yang satu baru nyata apabila bersanding dengan kebenaran yang lainnya. Keyakinan ini tentu harus dituangkan dalam tuturan-tuturan kata serta kalimat dalam ruang ritus gereja, baik secara verbal maupun tertulis.
