Integrative Therapies for Low Back Pain that Include Complementary and Alternative Medicine Care: A Systematic Review

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Study Design: Systematic review of the literature. Objective: To evaluate whether an integrated approach that includes different Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies combined or CAM therapies combined with conventional medical care is more effective for the management of low back pain (LBP) than single modalities alone. Summary of Background Data: LBP is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, yet its optimal management is still unresolved. Methods: The PRISMA Statement guidelines were followed. The Cochrane Back Review Group scale was used to rate the quality of the studies found. Results: Twenty-one studies were found that met the inclusion criteria. The CAM modalities used in the studies included spinal manipulative therapy, acupuncture, exercise therapy, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and a topical ointment. Twenty studies included acupuncture and/or spinal manipulative therapy. Nine high quality studies showed that integrative care was clinically effective for the management of LBP. Spinal manipulative therapy combined with exercise therapy and acupuncture combined with conventional medical care or with exercise therapy appears to be promising approaches to the management of chronic cases of LBP. Conclusions: There is support in the literature for integrated CAM and conventional medical therapy for the management of chronic LBP. Further research into the integrated management of LBP is clearly needed to provide better guidance for patients and clinicians.
Hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy: monitoring the presence of the Leu-68→Gln cystatin C variant in cerebrospinal fluids and monocyte cultures by MS

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA) is an autosomal dominant condition in which the patients suffer at an early age from repeated cerebral haemorrhages. The development of HCCAA is directly linked to a Leu-68 → Gln (L68Q) mutation in the cystatin C protein sequence. The concentration of cystatin C in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of HCCAA patients is markedly diminished and cultivated monocytes from affected individuals accumulate cystatin C. The goal of this work was to characterize cystatin C isolated from CSF and monocyte cultures originating from healthy persons and HCCAA patients with respect to the L68Q mutation. Cystatin C was isolated by carboxymethylpapain affinity chromatography. Proteins from CSF and monocyte cultures that bound specifically to the carboxymethylated papain column were resolved by reverse-phase HPLC chromatography and tryptic peptides were subsequently analysed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization MS. No evidence for mutated cystatin C protein was found in CSF samples from healthy subjects or HCCAA patients, but approx. 60% of the protein was found to be hydroxylated on Pro-3. No evidence was found for secretion of mutated cystatin C from HCCAA monocytes. However, we obtained evidence for the presence of mutated cystatin C in HCCAA monocytes. These results support the conclusion that the mutated cystatin C is retained in association with the monocytes and not secreted. An increased intracellular concentration would presumably promote the aggregation and denaturation of the mutated cystatin C, leading to the formation of amyloid fibrils and cell death.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Multiple valvular heart diseases (MVHD) are frequent and present significant challenges in terms of diagnosis and therapeutic management. The combination of aortic and mitral regurgitation represents a common but understudied scenario of multiple valvular heart disease. We herein report the case of a 43-year-old male with severe double-valve regurgitation resulting in severe left ventricular dilatation and dysfunction.
Deriving Sea Surface Salinity and Density Variations From Satellite and Aircraft Microwave Radiometer Measurements: Application to Coastal Plumes Using STARRS

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Using brightness temperature Tb measurements from L-band airborne microwave radiometers, with independent sea surface temperature (SST) observations, sea surface salinity (SSS) can be remotely determined with errors of about 1 psu in temperate regions. Nonlinearities in the relationship between Tb , SSS, and SST produce variations in the sensitivity of salinity S to variations in Tb and SST. Despite significant efforts devoted to SSS remote sensing retrieval algorithms, little consideration has been given to deriving density D from remotely sensed SSS and SST. Density is related to S and T through the equation of state. It affects the ocean's static stability and its dynamical response to forcings. By chaining together two empirical relationships (flat-sea emissivity and equation of state) to form an inversion algorithm for sea surface density (SSD) in terms of Tb and SST, we develop a simple L-band SSD retrieval algorithm. We use this to investigate the sensitivity of SSD retrievals to observed Tb and SST and infer errors in D for typical sampling configurations of the airborne Salinity, Temperature, And Roughness Remote Scanner (STARRS) and satellite-borne Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and Aquarius radiometers. We then derive D from observations of river plumes obtained using STARRS and demonstrate several oceanographic applications: the observations are used to study variations in T and S effects on D in the Mississippi plume, and the across-shelf density gradient is used to infer surface geostrophic shear and subsurface geostrophic current in the Plata plume. Future basin-scale applications of SSD retrievals from satellite-borne microwave radiometers such as SMOS and Aquarius are anticipated.

A. matruhi sp. nov. differs from A. lepidosaphes by the relative length of propodeum, metanotum and scutellum. A key to the Egyptian species of Aphytis is provided.
Elastic Scattering of Electrons and Positrons by Lithium Atoms

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The eikonal approximation has been used to investigate ${e}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{L}\mathrm{i}$ scattering in the energy region $E=0.8$ to 500 eV. In addition to the static potential, the effect of the polarization potential has been included explicitly. Our results for the total cross section of ${e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{L}\mathrm{i}$ scattering in the energy region $4\ensuremath{\le}E\ensuremath{\le}10$ eV are in close agreement with the recent experimental findings as well as with the theoretical results obtained by various authors using the close-coupling approximation. In the energy region $10<E\ensuremath{\le}500$ eV, the present approach yields higher values than first Born approximation (FBA). Our results for the total cross section for ${e}^{+}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{L}\mathrm{i}$ scattering in the eikonal approximation are displayed and compared with the corresponding polarized FBA results and the results obtained by the polarized-orbital method. Results for the differential cross sections for both the systems ${e}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{L}\mathrm{i}$ in the eikonal approximation are also presented together with the corresponding polarized FBA results.

Visible Spectrophotometric Determination of Abacavir Sulphate in Bulk Drug and Tablet Dosage Form

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A simple visible spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of abacavir sulphate in bulk and tablet dosage form. This method is based on the diazotization of abacavir sulphate with nitrous acid to form diazotized abacavir sulphate, followed by its coupling with β-naphthol to form a red coloured chromogen which shows maximum absorption at 574.0nm and obeys Beer's law in the concentration range of 5-20mcg/ml. This method was validated for precision, accuracy, ruggedness and robustness. Statistical analysis proves that the method is reproducible and selective for the estimation of said drug.
Data Pre-processing method of Ground Penetrating Radar based on HE-R2M

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), as a non-destructive detection technology, has been widely used in infrastructure construction, tunneling, agriculture and forestry. It has the advantages of fast detection speed, high accuracy and non-destructive detection. However, GPR is often affected by the interference of subsurface media when facing complex geological environments, resulting in low contrast, high noise and clutter interference in the acquired B-scan images, which seriously affects the detection of subsurface structures and imaging performance. In order to improve the quality of images acquired by GPR in mixed soil media, this paper proposes HE-R2M (Histogram Equalization with Remapping and Morphology) image enhancement algorithm for preprocessing B-Scan images with respect to B-scan hyperbolic features of underground targets. The algorithm is based on the histogram equalization algorithm to initially enhance the image, and for the B-Scan image features, combined with the histogram interval remapping method and morphological processing, it can successfully suppress the clutter features in the B-Scan image while retaining the effective information of the hyperbola. The effectiveness and robustness of the algorithm are verified through simulation and real experiments. The proposed HE-R2M image preprocessing algorithm provides a potential idea for the application expansion of GPR, and offers an effective solution to improve the performance of underground structure detection and imaging.

Elite Conspiracy and Regional Discontent in South-Eastern Nigeria

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper interrogates the nexus between elite conspiracy and regional discontent in South-Eastern Nigeria through the lens of elite theory and the political economy of exclusion. It contends that the persistent marginalization of the South-East within Nigeria’s federal structure is not solely the outcome of institutional design flaws or historical contingencies, but is significantly driven by strategic collusion among segments of the national elite—both within and outside the region—to maintain asymmetric power relations. The study conceptualizes elite conspiracy as a form of implicit or explicit coordination among political and economic elites aimed at preserving access to state resources, often at the expense of equitable regional representation. It further examines how intra-regional elite fragmentation in the South-East undermines collective political agency, enabling the consolidation of hegemonic narratives that delegitimize local grievances. These dynamics have intensified perceptions of exclusion and catalyzed the resurgence of separatist movements such as the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), thereby threatening national integration. Employing a qualitative methodology grounded in elite interviews, secondary data analysis, and historical interpretation, the paper contributes to the broader discourse on federalism, elite politics, and conflict in postcolonial African states. It concludes by advocating for a recalibration of Nigeria’s federal architecture and the institutionalization of inclusive governance mechanisms as prerequisites for mitigating regional alienation and restoring democratic legitimacy.
Ground control system for the midcourse space experiment UTC clock

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

One goal of the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) spacecraft Operations Planning Center is to maintain the onboard satellite UTC clock (UTC(MSX)) to within 1 millisecond of UTC(APL) (the program requirement is 10 msec). The UTC(MSX) clock employs as its time base an APL built 5 MHz quartz oscillator, which is expected to have frequency instabilities (aging rate + drift rate + frequency offset) that will cause the clock to drift approximately two to ten milliseconds per day. The UTC(MSX) clock can be advanced or retarded by the APL MSX satellite ground control center by integer multiples of 1 millisecond. The MSX Operations Planning Center is developing software which records the drift of UTC(MSX) relative to UTC(APL) and which schedules the time of day and magnitude of UTC(MSX) clock updates up to 48 hours in advance. Because of the manner in which MSX spacecraft activities are scheduled, MSX clock updates are planned 24 to 48 hours in advance, and stored in the satellite's computer controller for later execution. Data will be collected on the drift of UTC(MSX) relative to UTC(APL) over a three to five day period. Approximately six times per day, the time offset between UTC(MSX) and UTC(APL) will be measured by APL with a resolution of less than 100 microseconds. From this data a second order analytical model of the clock's drift will be derived. This model will be used to extrapolate the offset of the MSX clock in time from the present to 48 hours in the future. MSX clock updates will be placed on the spacecraft's daily schedule whenever the predicted clock offset exceeds 0.5 milliseconds. The paper includes a discussion of how the empirical model of the MSX clock is derived from satellite telemetry data, as well as the algorithm used to schedule MSX clock updates based on the model.
Assessment of a Novel Photocatalytic TiO2-Zirconia Ultrafiltration Membrane and Combination with Solar Photo-Fenton Tertiary Treatment of Urban Wastewater

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The objective of this study was to assess the combination of a photocatalytic TiO2-coated ZrO2 UF membrane with solar photo-Fenton treatment at circumneutral pH for the filtration and treatment of urban wastewater treatment plant (UWWTP) effluents. Photocatalytic self-cleaning properties were tested with a UWWTP effluent under irradiation in a solar simulator. Then, both the permeates and retentates from the membrane process were treated using the solar photo-Fenton treatment. The UWWTP effluent was spiked with caffeine (CAF), imidacloprid (IMI), thiacloprid (THI), carbamazepine (CBZ) and diclofenac (DCF) at an initial concentration of 100 µg/L each. Retention on the membrane of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (P. Aeruginosa), a Gram-negative bacterial strain, was tested with and without irradiation. It was demonstrated that filtration of a certain volume of UWWTP effluent in the dark is possible, and the original conditions can then be recovered after illumination. The photocatalytic membrane significantly reduces the turbidity of the UWWTP effluent, significantly increasing the degradation efficiency of the subsequent solar photo-Fenton treatment. The results showed that the membrane allowed consistent retention of P. Aeruginosa at an order of magnitude of 1 × 103–1 × 104 CFU/mL.

Coordinated control of DFIG subjected to grid faults

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

With the interconnection requirement for wind generation to the utility power system, it is of great importance that how to enhance the fault ride-through (FRT) capability of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) that are nowadays widely used in wind power plants. The FRT strategies based on active crowbar have been commonly used in practical engineering, but there are two problems remain unsolved. One is how to choose the crowbar activation time, the other is how to control the rotor-side converter after the crowbar disconnection. In fact, the precondition for solving these problems is to reveal the rotor fault current characteristics. In this paper, the main frequency components and their decaying characteristics of rotor current are analyzed. Further, a coordinated control strategy between the rotor-side converters and active crowbar is proposed to enhance the FRT capability of DFIG. The main idea is utilize the time constant of high-speed decaying component of rotor current as the reference of crowbar activation time, and the low-speed decaying current component considered as the bad factor of restarting the rotor-side converter. With the proposed strategy, the fault response of DFIG can be greatly improved. The minimum operational voltage limit of the DFIG's fault ride-through is enlarged by 0.1p.u without increasing the converter rating. These performances have been demonstrated through the experimental tests based on the real time digital simulator (RTDS).
Risk management, Maslow and memetics

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Current risk management theory and standards agree that not all risk is bad. Most of these include opportunities alongside threats within the definition of risk, and they expect the risk process to address both opportunities and threats equitably, proactively and effectively. However current risk management practice still focuses on threats. Managing opportunity through the risk process is often seen either as an optional extra, or as only for advanced practitioners, or as just plain wrong. Why is this?
Effects of major skeletal trauma on whole body protein turnover in man measured by L-[1,14C]-leucine.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Skeletal trauma induces excessive urinary nitrogen losses and is thought to stimulate the oxidation of the branched chain amino acids. This study was undertaken to quantitate whole body protein turnover rates and leucine metabolism during the peak nitrogen loss period following skeletal trauma. Quantitation was done in eight healthy and six trauma subjects, who received D5W as their only nutrition for 72 hours, using a 10-hour continuous infusion of L-[1,14C]-Leucine. The controls lost an average of 6 gm of nitrogen/day and the trauma patients 25 gm of nitrogen/day on the study day. Trauma was shown to elevate plasma leucine by 76%, increase the leucine flux through the free leucine pool by 86%, and accelerate leucine oxidation by 277% over the values for controls. Trauma also produced a 50% increase in whole body protein synthesis and a 79% increase in protein breakdown. The data clearly define significant increases in both the protein synthetic and catabolic rates in trauma with a greater increase occurring in catabolism. This is similar to findings for protein turnover in sepsis and burn injury, but is different from that found in elective surgery. A striking aspect of our data is the indication that women do not exhibit the same response to injury that men do. This suggestion, however, is based on a small sample.
Blokkade van de plexus coeliacus bij patiënten met pijn door een pancreastumor

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Pancreatic cancer tends to be diagnosed at a relatively late stage of the disease when curative resection is precluded. In view of the poor prognosis and the severe pain, palliative care should be aimed at providing adequate pain relief and optimal quality of life. Pancreatic cancer pain is primarily treated by the combination of NSAIDs, adjuvant analgesic drugs, and oral or transdermal opioids. The neurolytic coeliac plexus block is recommended as adjuvant therapy for the palliative treatment of pancreatic cancer pain. In addition quality of life, especially functional and physical aspects, is significantly improved in patients following a coeliac plexus block. The most common approach to the coeliac plexus is the percutaneous posterior technique. Serious complications that may follow application of this technique include sensory disorders, muscle weakness and paraparesis. More recently, new techniques such as thoracoscopic splanchnicectomy and endoscopic ultrasound-guided coeliac plexus block have emerged as efficient alternatives in terms of pain relief and quality-of-life improvement. The neurolytic coeliac plexus block has become a well-developed method of pain relief in patients with pain resulting from malignancies of the pancreas. To define the role of these new techniques in the palliative treatment of pancreatic cancer pain, comparative studies regarding efficacy, side effects, and complications have to be performed
