Published: August 2022

IntroductionThis paper introduces the treatment and clinical outcome of the dorsal wrist ganglion cyst utilizing the Kiss-in method to establish a midcarpal volar portal.Materials and methodsPatients with dorsal ganglia of the wrist (n = 12, 6 females, 6 males) underwent arthroscopic surgery using the Kiss-in method at our hospital between September 2018 and January 2021. All patients underwent preoperative radiological investigations, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; 12 cases) or ultrasonography (12 cases). The mean age of patients was 30.7 years (range: 19–46 years). The time lost from work, the wrist motion and strength, the presence of scarring, residual symptoms, complications, and recurrence were recorded at a mean follow-up of 24 months.ResultsEleven patients showed a good prognosis with active motion recovery. One patient showed the recurrence of ganglion, and the second arthroscopic resection was performed 5 months after the first surgery for this patient. After the surgery, the patient fully recovered.ConclusionsEstablishing the midcarpal volar portal by the Kiss-in method is safe. The dorsal ganglion cyst resection through the established midcarpal volar portal is a promising approach, allowing better visualization and a broader range motion of the arthroscope.

Objective: It is not clear whether ideal cardiovascular health (ICH) metrics have an impact on the association between age at menarche and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in rural postmenopausal Chinese women.Methods: In all, 15,450 postmenopausal women were enrolled from the Henan Rural Cohort study. Logistic regression models and interaction plots were used to analyze associations between age at menarche, ICH metrics and T2DM and interactive effects.Results: Age at menarche was inversely associated with risk of T2DM, with adjusted OR of 1.224, 1.116, 1.00 and 0.971, 0.850 for those with age at menarche ≤13, 14, 15–16 (reference), 17, and ≥18 years, respectively, and each year of delay in menarche age correlated with a 5.1% lower risk of T2DM. Negative interaction effects of age at menarche and number of ICH metrics on the risk of T2DM was observed.Conclusion: Meeting more ICH metrics might attenuate the association between early menstrual age and increased risk of T2DM, implying that meeting a higher number of ICH metrics may be an effective way to prevent T2DM for women of early menarche age.

Published: August 2022

Motion (change) detection is a basic preprocessing step in video processing, which has many application scenarios. One challenge is that deep learning-based methods require high computation power to improve their accuracy. In this paper, we introduce a novel semantic segmentation and lightweight-based network for motion detection, called Real-time Motion Detection Network Based on Single Linear Bottleneck and Pooling Compensation (MDNet-LBPC). In the feature extraction stage, the most computationally expensive CNN block is replaced with our single linear bottleneck operator to reduce the computational cost. During the decoder stage, our pooling compensation mechanism can supplement the useful motion detection information. To our best knowledge, this is the first work to use the lightweight operator to solve the motion detection task. We show that the acceleration performance of the single linear bottleneck is 5% higher than that of the linear bottleneck, which is more suitable for improving the efficiency of model inference. On the dataset CDNet2014, MDNet-LBPC increases the frames per second (FPS) metric by 123 compared to the suboptimal method FgSegNet_v2, ranking first in inference speed. Meanwhile, our MDNet-LBPC achieves 95.74% on the accuracy metric, which is comparable to the state-of-the-art methods.

Published: August 2022

The evaluation of energy efficiency improvements in polyisoprene footwear production is shown. By installing air preheater, combustion air natural gas consumption is reduced by 7%. Simultaneously, the boiler outlet flue gases’ temperature is decreased from 204 °C to 66.93 °C, providing a sound basis for both economical savings and energy efficiency improvements, as well as ecological benefits to the environment. The application of condensate heat recovery resulted in flue gases’ volume decreasing by 11.85% and a thermal pollution decrease of 91.34%. Combining air preheating by exhaust flue gases and condensate heat recovery resulted in a decrease in the flue gases’ volume by 17.97%, and in the temperature lowering to 66.93 °C. The energy consumption for a combined system on location φ=45°49′) with a collector field of 12.936 × 103 m2 was investigated. The hybrid system was calculated for four variants: (1) solarized process without flue gases’ heat recovery, (2) solarized processes with heat contend in flue gases using an air preheater, (3) solarized processes with condensate heat recovery, and (4) solarized processes with heat contend in flue gases using air preheater and condensate heat recovery. The highest fuel savings were shown in solarized processes with heat contend in flue gases using air preheater and condensate heat recovery, resulting in savings of up to 78.92%, while the flue gases’ volume decreased from 5390.95 m3FG/h to 932.12 m3FG/h.

Изучены биохимический статус и динамика роста телят в молочный период выращивания при использовании в кормлении ферментативно-пробиотического препарата «Румит» (пробиотик). Для изучения влияния добавки был проведен научно-хозяйственный опыт в условиях сельхозпредприятия в Вологодской области на 20 телятах черно-пестрой породы в возрасте 1,5 мес, разделенных на 2 группы по принципу пар-аналогов. Молодняк контрольной группы получал основной рацион, животным опытной группы на протяжении эксперимента (90 дней) скармливали дополнительно в качестве добавки пробиотик в количестве 15 г на 1 голову в сутки. У телят, получавших пробиотик, отмечено повышение в крови содержания общего белка на 7,8% (Р<0,05), глюкозы — на 21,5% (Р<0,01), снижение мочевины на 12,5% (Р<0,05), билирубина и холестерина — на 5,5 и 11,8% (Р<0,05) соответственно. При анализе динамики роста молодняка в молочный период выращивания более высоким абсолютным и среднесуточным приростом, соответственно на 3,8 и 4,6%, характеризовались особи опытной группы по сравнению с контролем. В результате проведенных исследований установлено, что применение изучаемого биопрепарата телятам-молочникам положительно повлияло на обменные процессы в их организме, а также на интенсивность роста животных.
We have studied the biochemical status and growth rates of calves during the dairy growing period when using the enzymatic-probiotic preparation “Rumit” in feeding. To study the effect of the additive, we have conducted a scientific and economic experiment in the conditions of the Agricultural Production Co-operative “Andoga Kolkhoz” of the Kaduysky district of the Vologda Oblast on 20 calves of black-and-white breed at the age of 1.5 months, divided into two groups according to the principle of pairs of analogues. The calves of the control group received the main diet, the animals of the experimental group during the experiment (90 days) in addition to the main feed, the probiotic “Rumit” was fed 15 g per head per day as an additive. Calves receiving the biopreparation “Rumit” in addition to the main feed have showed an increase in the blood content of total protein by 7.8% (p0.05), glucose by 21.5% (P˂0.01). We have found a decrease in blood urea by 12.5% (P˂0.05), bilirubin and cholesterol by 5.5 and 11.8% (P˂0.05), respectively. When analyzing the calves’ growth rates during the dairy growing period, calves of the experimental group are characterized by higher absolute and average daily increments, and the difference with the control group is 3.8 and 4.6%, respectively. As a result of the conducted research, we have found that feeding the studied biological product to dairy calves had a positive effect on metabolic processes in the body, as well as on the intensity of animal growth.

Published: August 2022

BackgroundColon cancer survivorship care constitutes both follow-up and aftercare. GP involvement may help to personalise care.AimTo explore patients’ experiences of GP-led versus surgeon-led survivorship care.Design and settingPatients with stage I to III colon cancer were recruited from eight Dutch hospitals and randomised to receive care by either the GP or surgeon.MethodA mixed-methods approach was used to compare GP-led care with surgeon-led care. After 1 year the Consumer Quality Index (CQI) was used to measure quality aspects of care. Next, interviews were performed at various time points (3–6 years after surgery) to explore patients’ experiences in depth.ResultsA total of 261 questionnaires were returned by patients and 25 semi-structured interviews were included in the study. Overall, patients were satisfied with both GP-led and surgeon-led care (ratings 9.6 [standard deviation {SD} 1.1] versus 9.4 [SD 1.1] out of 10). No important differences were seen in quality of care as measured by CQI. Interviews revealed that patients often had little expectation of care from either healthcare professional. They described follow-up consultations as short, medically oriented, and centred around discussing follow-up test results. Patients also reported few symptoms. Care for patients in the GP-led group was organised in different ways, ranging from solely on patient’s initiative to shared care. Patients sometimes desired a more guiding role from their GP, whereas others preferred to be proactive themselves.ConclusionPatients experienced a high quality of colon cancer survivorship care from both GPs and surgeons. If the GP is going to be more involved, patients require a clear understanding of roles and responsibilities.
UK newspapers ‘on the warpath’: media analysis of general practice remote consulting in 2021
Authors: Mroz Gilly , Papoutsi Chrysanthi , Greenhalgh Trisha 
Published: August 2022

BackgroundFollowing a large-scale, pandemic-driven shift to remote consulting in UK general practice in 2020, 2021 saw a partial return to in-person consultations. This occurred in the context of extreme workload pressures because of backlogs, staff shortages, and task shifting.AimTo study media depictions of remote consultations in UK general practice at a time of system stress.Design and settingThematic analysis of national newspaper articles about remote GP consultations from two time periods: 13–26 May 2021, following an NHS England letter, and 14–27 October 2021, following a government-backed directive, both stipulating a return to in-person consulting.MethodArticles were identified through, and retrieved from, LexisNexis. A coding system of themes and narrative devices was developed iteratively to inform data analysis.ResultsIn total, 25 articles reported on the letter and 75 on the directive. Newspaper coverage of remote consulting was strikingly negative. The right-leaning press in particular praised the return to in-person consultations, depicting remote care as creating access barriers and compromising safety. Two newspapers led national campaigns pressuring the government to require GPs to offer in-person consultations. GPs were quoted as reluctant to return to an ‘in-person by default’ service (as it would further pressurise a system already close to breaking point).ConclusionRemote consultations have become associated in the media with poor practice. Some newspapers were actively leading the ‘war’ on general practice rather than merely reporting on it. Proactive dialogue between practitioners and the media might help minimise polarisation and improve perceptions around general practice.

Published: August 2022

Background: Thyroid nodules are mostly benign. Although it varies by region, 5.4% of nodules in men and 6.5% of nodules in women may be malignant. In rural regions where a radiologist, an endocrine surgeon, a cytologist, and an endocrinologist are not present, difficulties may be experienced in the management of thyroid nodules.
Objectives: This present study aims to determine if it is possible to comment on whether the nodule is malignant by evaluating the biological markers in patients with thyroid nodules.
Methods: We reviewed retrospectively the data of patients between January 2019 and September 2020 who underwent total thyroidectomy in terms of thyroid ultrasonography results, thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy results, neutrophil, platelet, lymphocyte, red blood cell, and mean erythrocyte volume (MCV) values, histopathological examination results of thyroid specimens. Subsequently, we calculated Mentzer index, Systemic immune-inflammatory index, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio for each patient.
Results: 140 patients were included in the study. 110 (78.6%) of the patients were female and 30 (21.4%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 48 ± 12.5 (20-76). There was no statistically significant difference in Mentzer index, Systemic inflammatory index, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratios between patients with malignant and benign thyroid nodules.
Conclusion: Biological markers have limited predictive power in the management of thyroid nodules. Therefore, the use of biomarkers that we have studied in the treatment of thyroid nodules does not seem possible at present.

Published: August 2022

Quality of life (QOL) is an important measure in the life of older refugees, reflecting health and well-being. Maintaining the QOL is important, especially with increased proportion of older adults in society. Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, Syrians sought refuge to neighborhood countries. Many aspects of Syrian refugees’ lives have been affected, therefore affecting the overall quality of their lives. Even so, the aim of our study were to evaluate the QOL of Syrian refugees residing in Jordan, and tackled topic as a multi-dimensional phenomenon (Life overall, health, social relationships, independence, control over life, freedom, home and neighborhood, psychological and emotional, well-being, financial circumstances, and leisure and activities). This study used quantitative methods using survey design with 150 older Syrian refugees (above 60 years old) the data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics, one-way analysis variance, factor analysis and chi square. The study revealed that there is statistical significant differences in QOL among Syrian refugees according to the level of education in favor of older with higher level of education, the results also indicate that there is medium level of overall quality of life among males and females older, with higher level of QOL among male refugees.
