Platelet-Rich Plasma and Rehabilitation for Upper Extremity Musculoskeletal Pathologies
Authors: Kirker Kaitlin , Masaracchio Michael 
Published: August 2022

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is considered in clinical practice for its role in facilitating the body’s own healing processes, with the potential to complement physical therapy in managing musculoskeletal pathologies of the upper extremity.
Methods: Eligible studies must be randomized with clinical/quasi-experimental trials with complete data analysis, and published in English. They have to recruit participants aged >18 years; have at least two groups, with one intervention group receiving PRP injection alone or PRP injection and rehabilitation, and the comparison group receiving either rehabilitation alone or a control group receiving saline and rehabilitation; and finally include at least one outcome measure of pain, disability, or quality of life. An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Pedro, and clinicaltrials.gov. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias (RoB) tool. The grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation approach was used to provide an overall assessment of the quality of evidence. Meta-analyses were conducted across outcomes within each pathology when possible.
Results: A total of 13 studies assessing adhesive capsulitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, lateral epicondylal-gia, rotator cuff tendinopathy, subacromial impingement syndrome, and shoulder osteoarthritis were included with an average RoB score of 8.77 out of 12 across all studies. Meta-analyses for rotator cuff tendinopathy (n = 49) revealed a significant effect on pain (cm) (mean difference [MD] -2.53; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −5.02, −0.04; I2 statistic = 51%; P = 0.05), quality of life (MD 16.82; 95% CI: 0.40, 33.25; I2 = 0%; P = 0.04), and disability (standardized mean difference [SMD]: −0.64; 95% CI: −1.24, −0.04; I2 = 0%; P = 0.04) favoring PRP and physical therapy as long-term follow-up (moderate level of evidence). All other meta-analyses for adhesive capsulitis and carpal tunnel demonstrated nonsignificant effects.
Conclusions: This systematic review demonstrated that PRP is a beneficial adjunct to physical therapy for reducing pain and improving disability and quality of life (moderate level of evidence) when compared to placebo plus physical therapy for the management of rotator cuff tendinopathy.
Men’s Health Across the Lifespan: Post Traumatic Growth and Gender Role in Male Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse
Authors: Lewis Hazel , Kiemle Gundi , Lowe Michelle , Balfour Robert 
Published: August 2022

Background: Due to societal stereotypes around masculinity (i.e. men should be strong and able to physically resist an offender), male survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA) frequently experience sexuality and gender role crises, as they tend to blame themselves for not protecting themselves. The negative effects on male and female survivors of sexual abuse are well documented. There is some evidence to suggest that female survivors may experience post traumatic growth (PTG) although less is known regarding male survivors and PTG. Aims: To explore the PTG processes involved in the development of positive gender roles and sexuality in male survivors of CSA. Method: Recruitment through national male survivor support organisations and social media resulted in a sample of 12 participants from the UK, EU and USA. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed and analysed using social constructionist thematic analysis. Results: The parallel processes of “struggling and changing” and “developing and growing” were evident in the PTG journeys of participants. Eight subthemes were developed relating to gender role redevelopment to illustrate the experienced positive change: “Turning point,” “Redefining masculinity and sexuality,” “Reconnecting,” “Determination,” “Appreciation of life,” “Living by masculine values,” “Attunement” and “Stronger person” in the context of a central “environmental” theme. Conclusions: This study has provided much-needed empirical support for the development of positive gender role and sexuality following CSA and has enabled conceptualisation of PTG in male survivors.
Men’s Health Across the Lifespan: Health and Wellbeing of Older Male Prisoners
Authors: Lawrence Sarah Charlotte Elizabeth , Devine Paula 
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Older men aged 50 years and over are the fastest-growing cohort in the prisons of the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK). This reflects wider demographic change, such as increased life expectancy, as well as harsher sentencing policies, and an increased eagerness of courts to pursue historical offenses particularly relating to sexual crimes. Research has shown that older men in prison often experience poorer physical health than younger prisoners and those with similar age in the general public. However, to date, no such study has explored the health-related needs of older men held in Northern Ireland prisons. The aim of this research was to explore the health and wellbeing needs of older men held in custody in Northern Ireland. Method: A questionnaire was completed by 83 men aged 50 years or over, who were in prison in Northern Ireland in 2016. Comparisons were made with similar community-based surveys. Results: The data showed that on many indicators, older prisoners experience worse health than their peers living in the community. Conclusion: These findings suggest that there is a need for appropriate healthcare planning for older men in prison which recognizes how their health may differ from other age cohorts within prison, as well as from those living outside a custodial establishment.
Urethral Surveillance after Radical Cystectomy

Published: August 2022

Introduction Radical cystectomy (RC) is commonly performed with curative intent for primary or recurrent high-risk non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancers. Urethral recurrence (UR) within the residual urethra, often proximally where the epithelial lining comprises urothelial cells, is a rare but well-described occurrence associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Current national guidelines therefore suggest that male patients with a defunctioned urethra should undergo annual endoscopic or urethral washing surveillance for 5 years following RC, to identify UR early, where local disease management (e.g., urethrectomy) may still be possible. Anecdotally, however, urethroscopy and urethral washing cytology appear to be infrequently performed. Our regional trainee-led research collaborative evaluated the frequency and timing of urethral surveillance in the West Midlands in comparison to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. Patients and methods Our 10-year cross-sectional retrospective regional analysis included 495 patients from 2008–2018. Clinical and demographic data were collected alongside cross-sectional staging and imaging, and timings and frequency of urethral endoscopic surveillance or urethral washing cytology. Results Overall, 159 (35.2%) patients received one (or more) surveillance urethroscopy. A minority of surveillance urethroscopies were annual, with hugely variable frequency or intervals ranging from every 4–50 months. Only 81 (19.6%) patients had urethral surveillance in keeping with the frequency suggested by NICE guidelines. At 10 years, disease-specific mortality was 42.0%, and overall or all-cause mortality was 44.7%. The overall UR rate (as detected by staging CT and/or urethroscopy) was 1.0% (n = 4); all four cases of UR were found in patients with positive urethral margins after RC who did not undergo immediate urethrectomy. Conclusions Our regional urethral surveillance practice following RC is heterogeneous and suboptimal in comparison to NICE guidelines. Our UR rate was so low that we are unable to assert whether early detection has any clinical benefit, and therefore we cannot advocate routine urethral surveillance, but suggest that patients with positive urethral margins should be offered immediate urethrectomy post RC. In addition, we encourage collaborative urological research and data collection to generate higher volume series, more representative and generalisable data, and more meaningful conclusions.
“De tabica em punho aplicou-lhe várias bordoadas”: crianças e (in)justiças do mundo do trabalho na década de 1930
Authors: Miranda Humberto Silva 
Published: August 2022

Ao se debruçar sobre as crianças e os adolescentes no mundo do trabalho adulto, a historiografia das infâncias e juventudes vem problematizando as diferentes práticas sociais e culturais que demarcam políticas de disciplinarização e/ou medida de proteção. O século XX foi palco de iniciativas legais que buscaram estabelecer códigos de controle sobre as crianças, famílias e empregadores, produzindo o discurso da “ressocialização a partir do trabalho”. O objetivo deste trabalho é de analisar o cotidiano de meninos no mundo do trabalho em Recife, na década de 1930. Os periódicos, legislações e processos criminais serão analisados as fontes documentais que permitiram a produção de práticas discursivas sobre o labor infantil. O artigo coloca questões relevantes em tela, como a violência no mundo laboral e a tentativa de sindicalização do “menor trabalhador”. Voltar-se para a história de meninos e meninas no mundo do trabalho, fez-nos encontrar um universo permeado de (in)justiças praticadas por adultos. Em nome da produção, do lucro e da mais valia, a “força da tabica” foi utilizada para corrigir ou coagir crianças e adolescentes, a violência física e o descuidado, descortinam o cotidiano marcado pela exploração, mas por táticas de sobrevivência e resistência.
Corporativismo, cidadania regulada e o ‘fantasma da classe ausente’: apontamentos historiográficos em torno da reforma sanitária brasileira
Authors: Reis José Roberto Franco 
Published: August 2022

O final dos anos 1970 e os anos 1980 foram um momento chave de emergência de um pujante movimento operário no Brasil, conhecido como Novo Sindicalismo, que se configuraria numa importante força no processo de redemocratização. Nesse mesmo período, também se observa a emergência da chamada Reforma Sanitária, que lançaria as bases de uma transformação vigorosa no sistema de saúde no Brasil, instituindo o reconhecimento da saúde como um direito universal, com acesso público, gratuito e igualitário, e que se consolida através da instituição do SUS na Constituição de 1988. No entanto, a literatura do campo da saúde, de um modo bastante consensual, tem apontado a incipiente e frágil base de apoio ao movimento de reforma sanitária e ao SUS entre os sindicatos de trabalhadores – que teriam, em boa medida, se mobilizado para obter planos e seguros privados de saúde. Neste artigo, buscamos refletir sobre tal questão à luz da literatura mais recente sobre os mundos do trabalho, que tem proposto releituras significativas das interpretações consagradas sobre o sindicalismo corporativista, bem como dos arranjos sociais configurados como segmentados e regulados e, por conseguinte, contrários a proposições de teor mais universalista.
Geophysical threats of wartime to high-risk objects of Ukraine
Authors: Anakhov P.V. 
Published: August 2022

Environment is changed by man consciously and mostly unconsciously. A characteristic feature of modern times is the unprecedented number of potentially dangerous enterprises that pose a real threat of emergencies of natural and man-made origin. Accidents at 203 high-risk Ukrainian facilities can lead to emergencies at the regional and state levels, spreading to other countries. Of all human engineering activities, hydraulic engineering has the greatest impact on the natural environment; significant effects of artificial regulation of precipitation, mining. These actions may also have military uses that involve intentional harm. The main task of military hydraulic engineering is the creation of artificial water barriers to advance the enemy. The use of artificial rainfall for the same purpose helps to soften road surfaces and provokes landslides along them, supports the erosion of river fords and increased soil water saturation. The earthquakes caused by the bombings are causing extensive damage to infrastructure. At the end of February 2014, Russia launched hostilities in Ukraine, which began with the annexation of Crimea, continued with a protracted armed conflict in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, led to the entry of troops on February 24, 2022. Military action is accompanied by conscious and unconscious manifestations of aggression in potentially dangerous enterprises.
To protect against natural disasters of anthropogenic origin, in 1976 the Environmental Modification Convention was adopted. To date, only 94 of the 193 UN countries have ratified or agreed to the Convention. The list of potential 99 violators is supplemented by the founding member states of the United Nations and initiators of the development of the Convention within the USSR, the Russian Federation, which is waging hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, and Belarus.
The right to remove a court (judge) in civil procedure: problems
Authors: Koptevsky O. , Nikitenko V. , Moiseenko D. 
Published: August 2022

In the article, it is seen as the result of a lack of superiority to the court, as an invisible element of the world of the implementation of the task of a fair trial. And even the irresponsible and irreproachable review and execution of judicial certificates is one of the head obsessions of the skin court, as well as the warehouse part of the oath of the court, which is violated, which is to be confessed, especially, which is the responsibility of the judge, which can sue the whole side of the bulk.
The article is dedicated to the importance of bringing judges to the civil process, to the problems of this institution. It is significant that in the European Court of People’s Rights, a many years practice is directed to stating that the national court, looking at the specific right, is out of any side and is objective in the case of paragraph 1 of Art. 6 of the Convention on the defense of human rights and fundamental freedoms. So, paragraph 1 of Art. 6 of the Convention needs that “court” which is under it’s power should be unprepared.
The article analyzes the problem of bringing judges to the conclusion that the problem of bringing others to light is presented in the light of the practice of other judges. For example, European Court in it’s decisions conduct difference between objective way of solving (it’s decision which tells have powerful guarantees been given to judge to except valuable doubts for any case) and subjective way of solving (which means the intend of be sure in subjective accusation or personal interest of the judge in the case.
At the article there are analyzed examples of cases in which can arise doubt at lack of objectivity of the court. For example, one person do a lot of functions through the court process or hierarchical or another links between this and another person through the same process. It has it’s own character and is the result of judge’s behavior in that case.
On the basis of the analysis carried out that the legislation of Ukraine in the field of disqualification is uncomplete and requires editing. The realization of the right to a fair, unprejudiced and independent court by a way to the court’s decision may not be done in practice, the proofing of evidence and facts, necessary for the court’s disqualification, must be dealt with in a folding aspect.
So, at whom it was necessary to demonstrate the consistency of the evidence brought by the evidence and the facts necessary for the conclusion of the court, analyzing the deeds of the decision of the court. It is necessary to proposition that the norms of national legislation should be fully developed, and that it should be brought up to international standards.

Authors: Shcherbyna B. 
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to current issues related to the content of the right to freedom of creativity. Relevant legislative provisions and positions expressed in the scientific literature are analyzed.
It is substantiated that the right to freedom of creativity has a civil nature, but the relevant provision of the Constitution of Ukraine gives this right a fundamental meaning. It is established that the right to freedom of creativity belongs to the group of personal inalienable rights that ensure social existence, while the universal right to freedom is a right that ensures the natural existence of man. It is proved that the right to freedom of creativity arises in a person by virtue of his birth and does not require certain actions related to the acquisition of this right in the manner and under the conditions prescribed by law. It has been established that the right to freedom of creativity is initially deprived of economic meaning, as well as any other personal non-property right, because the right to create is not tied to the property status of the person. It is proved that as a result of exercising the right to freedom of creativity there is a unique and original result, which can belong to different types of creativity. It was established that the law distinguished between several types of creativity, including literary and artistic creativity, the results of which are protected by copyright, and scientific and technical creativity, while scientific creativity can be protected either as a separate artwork or in combination with technical creativity. It is proved that creativity can be divided into two main types: spiritual and scientific and technical creativity. It is substantiated that the development of scientific and technical creativity determines scientific and technological progress, which is an integral part of the development of modern society. It is established that an individual has the right to freely choose the spheres, content and forms (methods, techniques) of creativity, and this right is not subject to censorship, at the same time criticism of the results of creative activity is allowed.
Problems of police management of tactical medicine in the conditions of distance learning
Authors: Boyko O. 
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to highlighting the need to improve the teaching of tactical medicine to students of higher education institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine during distance learning with the use of interactive techniques, multimedia learning tools and simulation equipment to develop practical algorithms. The obligation to implement international standards in police training and activities under the TССС and TEСС protocols has been updated, especially during martial law.
It is emphasized that distance learning can not fully serve as an effective form of acquiring knowledge of tactical medicine, as it requires practical face-to-face scenario-oriented classes with an instructor, which bring theoretical training closer to the practical realities of service.
Acquisition and acquisition of practical skills and tactical medicine are formed only after repeated performance of specific manipulations in terms of algorithms for their implementation with a professional instructor, which is possible only in the classroom training mode, which reduces the quality of control in distance learning.
Problems in the use of significant resources are covered: technical, organizational, methodological, as well as the involvement of specialists in the development and implementation of «gaming» tasks, ie the use of game practices in non-game context («quest», «challenges»). The importance of organizing a professional instructor to actively perceive and provide demonstration and explanation of certain aspects of each topic is noted.The validity of the development and use of multimedia technologies in the distance teaching of tactical medicine, which will allow to acquire knowledge and promote motivation in the formation of sustainable skills of home care. Promising areas for improving distance learning courses in tactical medicine are the production of video tutorials and the development of multimedia content of an educational and training nature, systematization and incorporation of freely available on the Internet.
Advocacy self-government in legal doctrine: analysis of scientific research of the pre-revolutionary period (end of XIX - 1917)
Authors: Vesnin S. 
Published: August 2022

The generalization of scientific research and normative consolidation of the principles of advocacy self-government in the legal doctrine of the pre-revolutionary period has been made. In particular, it was emphasized that the process of creating any concepts of reform and development of public law institutions, management systems, branches of legislation, etc. in the initial stages, it must include painstaking work on the analysis of historical conditions and circumstances, preconditions and retrospectives of the modern functioning of a particular object of reform. The so-called retrospective analysis allows to study the relevant phenomenon in the genesis of its formation, to identify errors during the previous stages of its existence, taking into account which will avoid them, which in turn will create conditions for systematic improvement of the mechanism.
It was noted that the intensification of the normative consolidation of the legal status of bar self-government bodies in the current legislation led to the catalysis of research on this issue and aroused interest from both legal scholars and practitioners - lawyers, attorneys, judges. It was emphasized that despite the fact that the direct subject of judicial reform or analysis of the real practice of creation and functioning of juries or other bodies of advocacy self-government were mostly the direct subject of study, suggested ways to solve them, studied in detail foreign, made successful attempts at retrospective analysis. It is emphasized that the conclusions of legal scholars and practitioners of this period partly formed the basis of the modern idea of the importance and necessity of independence and autonomy of advocacy and the role in this issue of effective functioning of advocacy self-government.
