However, the effects of OMT following initial treatment have not been reported. Objective: To determine the effects of OMT for patients with chronic non-specific back pain in a rural safety-net hospital setting for an initial post-clinical and follow-up visit. Methods: A longitudinal, rolling admission, eleven-year study of cohort study with a primary complaint of chronic, non-specific back pain that had plateaued in improvement for a minimum of six months. One hundred and fifty-one subjects completed the first two study visits necessary for data collection, and fifty-nine subjects completed the follow-up visit after six months. Results: A two-way, mixed model, repeated measures ANOVA with pre- post1 and post2 (follow-up) treatment as the within variable and sex as the between subject variable showed a significant main effect from pre- to follow-up, (F (1, 57) = 21.171, P ηP2= 0.426), but not a significant interaction between time and sex (F (1, 57) = 0.279, P ηP2= 0.002). Conclusions: The results of this study support the hypothesis that OMT has a continued benefit in pain reduction and functional improvement beyond the initial treatment period. The rural, safety-net hospital setting made this study unique relative to the sample population.展开更多

文摘Objective Previous studies indicated a close correlation between manual acupuncture(MA)analgesia and the mobilization of extracellular adenosine triphosphate(ATP)at the acupoints.This study attempted to investigate whether this relationship is altered with the manipulation patterns of MA.Additionally,we further testified whether these two events parallelly varied with different frequencies of electroacupuncture(EA).Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:blank group,model group,MA group,and EA group.MA group was further divided into four sub-groups:standard MA,sham MA,lifting-thrusting MA,and shallow MA.Similarly,EA group was categorized based on current frequency into 2 Hz,2–100 Hz,100 Hz,and ARL67156+100 Hz sub-groups.For the behavioral tests,each group comprised 4–8 rats;for extracellular ATP assessment,each group consisted of 3–6 rats.Complete Freund’s adjuvant(CFA)was injected into the left ankle joint cavity to create an acute adjuvant arthritis(AA)model.A 20-minute session of either MA at left Zusanli(ST36)or EA at bilateral ST36 was administered on AA rats.Thermal hyperalgesia of the hind paw was determined.Extracellular ATP in the interstitial space at ST36(inters.ATP)was extracted using microdialysis and quantified via a luciferase-luciferin assay.Results Modeling induced tenderness at ST36(P<0.001)and higher ATP mobilization(P<0.05)in response to MA.Both standard MA(P<0.001)and lifting-thrusting manipulation(P<0.001)exhibited a remarkable analgesic effect,which was not observed with sham MA,deep insertion plus retention.Verum MA(P<0.001)rather than sham intervention,significantly elevated inters.ATP levels.Notably,shallow MA,penetrating the skin layer and needling with twirling-rotating,demonstrated analgesia and increasing inters.ATP level(P<0.05).Regarding EA,treatments at frequencies of 2 Hz(P<0.01),2–100 Hz(P<0.05),and 100 Hz(P<0.05)significantly alleviated pain.Only the 2–100 Hz(P<0.05)and 100 Hz(P<0.01)interventions,particularly in the latter,potentiated ATP mobilization.Preventing ATP hydrolysis dampened the analgesic effects of the standard MA and 100 Hz EA.Conclusion There is a general correlation between ATP mobilization at the acupoint and the analgesic effect of MA and EA.However,the underlying mechanisms related to shallow MA and 2 Hz EA remain to be elucidated.
文摘Cataract surgery is still the most common surgery performed worldwide.It has evolved tremendously in terms of incision,from 12 mm to 1.8 mm,in terms of capsulotomy from envelope type to automated capsulorhexis,and from rigid intraocular lens to foldable intraocular lenses.Manual small incision cataract surgery(MSICS)remains a valuable technique,particularly in rural and underserved areas,due to its cost-effectiveness and simplicity.Its low logistics and favorable outcomes are particularly useful for managing the cataract backlog in developing countries.This review highlights the history and evolution of MSICS,and the reasons for the advent and popularity of this technique,especially in developing countries.It reviews the various recent modifications of the technique,for example,from a superior incision approach to temporal incision to customized MSICS,2 mm MSICS,and astigmatism-correcting MSICS.It provides an overview of its applicability in complicated scenarios(viz.,small pupil,compromised cornea,pseudoexfoliation,subluxated cataract,etc.).It briefly reviews the clinical trials on MSICS and its comparison with phacoemulsification.Finally,the review emphasizes why every ophthalmic surgeon must know MSICS,its relevance in postgraduate teaching,and the role of MSICS simulators for the same.Overall,the review presents a comprehensive picture of the present status of this technique in the surgical armamentarium of ophthalmology.
文摘Discovery of spermatozoa during the 17^(th) century led to developing technologies for semen analysis in the early 1900s,and then,standard techniques were implemented during the 20^(th) century.Semen analysis has a pivotal role in the male infertility evaluation,and azoospermia is an important finding.Azoospermia is identified in 15%of infertile men.However,the accurate laboratory assessment of azoospermia poses certain technical challenges.Laboratories currently perform semen assessment with great variability;thus,a standard method should be used.Planning suitable management and determining the cause of infertility require a precise evaluation of azoospermia.This review aims to address the definition of azoospermia and highlight laboratory methods in the assessments of azoospermia.Basic methods such as centrifugation,repeat pellet analysis,and staining and advanced methods such as genetic testing and biomarkers have been discussed.These methods have helped in standardizing the protocol for accurate azoospermia assessments with less variability.
文摘Background: Osteopathic manual treatment (OMT) has been reported to have positive initial results for subjects with chronic non-specific back pain in a rural safety-net hospital. However, the effects of OMT following initial treatment have not been reported. Objective: To determine the effects of OMT for patients with chronic non-specific back pain in a rural safety-net hospital setting for an initial post-clinical and follow-up visit. Methods: A longitudinal, rolling admission, eleven-year study of cohort study with a primary complaint of chronic, non-specific back pain that had plateaued in improvement for a minimum of six months. One hundred and fifty-one subjects completed the first two study visits necessary for data collection, and fifty-nine subjects completed the follow-up visit after six months. Results: A two-way, mixed model, repeated measures ANOVA with pre- post1 and post2 (follow-up) treatment as the within variable and sex as the between subject variable showed a significant main effect from pre- to follow-up, (F (1, 57) = 21.171, P ηP2= 0.426), but not a significant interaction between time and sex (F (1, 57) = 0.279, P ηP2= 0.002). Conclusions: The results of this study support the hypothesis that OMT has a continued benefit in pain reduction and functional improvement beyond the initial treatment period. The rural, safety-net hospital setting made this study unique relative to the sample population.
文摘The problems noted in the structures built on wooden foundation piles in a lake environment required various works to strengthen over time.This work mainly consists of the recovery of the foundation mass by micropiles due to the increase in loads on the structures,or the recovery of the foundation mass by injection,which is carried out when voids form between the ground and the wooden foundation elements.The high cost of foundation reinforcement methods led the National Agency for the Development of Tourist Heritage in Benin(ANPT)to replace the wooden foundation piles with reinforced concrete piles in the implementation of the project“reinventing the lakeside city of Ganvié”.This article presents an artisanal technology for the creation of reinforced concrete foundation piles in a lake environment.On-site examples made it possible to evaluate the performance of this artisanal implementation technique.The installation of these piles is carried out following manual drilling,followed by the installation of reinforcement and the pouring of concrete on site.The implementation of reinforced concrete foundation piles in place of the wooden ones studied in this article only impacted the infrastructure of the homes of the lakeside town of Ganviébut not the superstructure,which preserved the old traditional wooden architecture and thatched roofs.Thus,the ambition to move this city of Ganviéfrom the stage of a lake village to that of a floating city is very successful.This will contribute to improving the environment and living conditions of the populations and will promote economic development through tourism.

文摘Prolonged grief disorder(PGD)is characterized by intense and persistent grief that significantly impairs daily functioning.For bereaved parents,the loss of a child represents an unparalleled emotional challenge,placing them at heightened risk of developing PGD.This review traces the evolution of PGD from early con-ceptualization to current definitions in the International Classification of Diseases,11th revision,and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,5th Edition,Text Revision.Building on this historical foundation,the analysis examined the prevalence,risk factors,and diagnostic criteria of PGD in bereaved parents,with particular attention to sex differences,the nature of the loss,and the time elapsed since the child’s death.Furthermore,this review examines the multidimensional consequences of PGD on parents,including its emotional,physiological,and functional effects.Evidence-based treatments for PGD,such as psychotherapeutic approaches and emerging interventions,are also discussed.By synthesizing existing research,this review provides a comprehensive under-standing of PGD among bereaved parents,highlights the unique challenges they face,and offers practical insights and recommendations for clinicians working with this population.
文摘Smart grid substation operations often take place in hazardous environments and pose significant threats to the safety of power personnel.Relying solely on manual supervision can lead to inadequate oversight.In response to the demand for technology to identify improper operations in substation work scenarios,this paper proposes a substation safety action recognition technology to avoid the misoperation and enhance the safety management.In general,this paper utilizes a dual-branch transformer network to extract spatial and temporal information from the video dataset of operational behaviors in complex substation environments.Firstly,in order to capture the spatial-temporal correlation of people's behaviors in smart grid substation,we devise a sparse attention module and a segmented linear attention module that are embedded into spatial branch transformer and temporal branch transformer respectively.To avoid the redundancy of spatial and temporal information,we fuse the temporal and spatial features using a tensor decomposition fusion module by a decoupled manner.Experimental results indicate that our proposed method accurately detects improper operational behaviors in substation work scenarios,outperforming other existing methods in terms of detection and recognition accuracy.
文摘This study focuses on metaphorical terminology in scientific and technical texts,with reference to the English translation practice of a fire extinguisher product operation manual.The research demonstrates that the translation methods for metaphorical terminology in fire extinguisher product manuals are crucial for Chinese products to gain international recognition.The English translation process must adhere to scientificity,rigor,and readability as fundamental principles,while adopting“literal translation”and“substitution translation”as the primary translation methods.Only by doing so can we facilitate the deep integration of Chinese products into international trade and promote their globalization.

文摘The Turpan-Hami(Tuha)Basin in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China,holds significant strategic importance as a key economic artery of the ancient Silk Road and the Belt and Road Initiative,necessitating a holistic understanding of the spatiotemporal evolution of land use/land cover(LULC)to foster sustainable planning that is tailored to the region's unique resource endowments.However,existing LULC classification methods demonstrate inadequate accuracy,hindering effective regional planning.In this study,we established a two-level LULC classification system(8 primary types and 22 secondary types)for the Tuha Basin.By employing Landsat 5/7/8 imagery at 5-a intervals,we developed the LULC dataset of the Tuha Basin from 1990 to 2020,conducted the accuracy assessment and spatiotemporal evolution analysis,and simulated the future LULC under various scenarios via the Markov-Future Land Use Simulation(Markov-FLUS)model.The results revealed that the average overall accuracy values of our LULC dataset were 0.917 and 0.864 for the primary types and secondary types,respectively.Compared with the seven mainstream LULC products(GlobeLand30,Global 30-meter Land Cover with Fine Classification System(GLC_FCS30),Finer Resolution Observation and Monitoring of Global Land Cover PLUS(FROM_GLC PLUS),ESA Global Land Cover(ESA_LC),Esri Land Cover(ESRI_LC),China Multi-Period Land Use Land Cover Change Remote Sensing Monitoring Dataset(CNLUCC),and China Annual Land Cover Dataset(CLCD))in 2020,our LULC data exhibited dramatically elevated overall accuracy and provided more precise delineations for land features,thereby yielding high-quality data backups for land resource analyses within the basin.In 2020,unused land(78.0%of the study area)and grassland(18.6%)were the dominant LULC types of the basin;although cropland and construction land constituted less than 1.0%of the total area,they played a vital role in arid land development and primarily situated within oases that form the urban cores of the cities of Turpan and Hami.Between 1990 and 2020,cropland and construction land exhibited a rapid expansion,and the total area of water body decreased yet resurging after 2015 due to an increase in areas of reservoir and pond.In future scenario simulations,significant increases in areas of construction land and cropland are anticipated under the business-as-usual scenario,whereas the wetland area will decrease,suggesting the need for ecological attention under this development pathway.In contrast,the economic development scenario underscores the fast-paced expansion of construction land,primarily from the conversion of unused land,highlighting the significant developmental potential of unused land with a slowing increase in cropland.Special attention should thus be directed toward ecological and cropland protection during development.This study provides data supports and policy recommendations for the sustainable development goals of Tuha Basin and other similar arid areas.
文摘BACKGROUND Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP)is one of the most important complications of patients with liver cirrhosis entailing high morbidity and mortality.Making an accurate early diagnosis of this infection is key in the outcome of these patients.The current definition of SBP is based on studies performed more than 40 years ago using a manual technique to count the number of polymorphs in ascitic fluid(AF).There is a lack of data comparing the traditional cell count method with a current automated cell counter.Moreover,current international guidelines do not mention the type of cell count method to be employed and around half of the centers still rely on the traditional manual method.AIM To compare the accuracy of polymorph count on AF to diagnose SBP between the traditional manual cell count method and a modern automated cell counter against SBP cases fulfilling gold standard criteria:Positive AF culture and signs/symptoms of peritonitis.METHODS Retrospective analysis including two cohorts:Cross-sectional(cohort 1)and case-control(cohort 2),of patients with decompensated cirrhosis and ascites.Both cell count methods were conducted simultaneously.Positive SBP cases had a pathogenic bacteria isolated on AF and signs/symptoms of peritonitis.RESULTS A total of 137 cases with 5 positive-SBP,and 85 cases with 33 positive-SBP were included in cohort 1 and 2,respectively.Positive-SBP cases had worse liver function in both cohorts.The automated method showed higher sensitivity than the manual cell count:80%vs 52%,P=0.02,in cohort 2.Both methods showed very good specificity(>95%).The best cutoff using the automated cell counter was polymorph≥0.2 cells×10^(9)/L(equivalent to 200 cells/mm^(3))in AF as it has the higher sensitivity keeping a good specificity.CONCLUSION The automated cell count method should be preferred over the manual method to diagnose SBP because of its higher sensitivity.SBP definition,using the automated method,as polymorph cell count≥0.2 cells×10^(9)/L in AF would need to be considered in patients admitted with decompensated cirrhosis.
文摘BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin G4-related disease(IgG4-RD)is a complex immune-mediated condition that causes fibrotic inflammation in several organs.A significant clinical feature of IgG4-RD is hypertrophic pachymeningitis,which manifests as inflammation of the dura mater in intracranial or spinal regions.Although IgG4-RD can affect multiple areas,the spine is a relatively rare site compared to the more frequent involvement of intracranial structures.CASE SUMMARY A 70-year-old male presented to our hospital with a two-day history of fever,altered mental status,and generalized weakness.The initial brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)revealed multiple small infarcts across various cerebral regions.On the second day after admission,a physical examination revealed motor weakness in both lower extremities and diminished sensation in the right lower extremity.Electromyographic evaluation revealed findings consistent with acute motor sensory neuropathy.Despite initial management with intravenous immunoglobulin for presumed Guillain-Barrésyndrome,the patient exhibited progressive worsening of motor deficits.On the 45th day of hospitalization,an enhanced MRI of the entire spine,focusing specifically on the thoracic 9 to lumbar 1 vertebral level,raised the suspicion of IgG4-related spinal pachymeningitis.Subsequently,the patient was administered oral prednisolone and participated in a comprehensive rehabilitation program that included gait training and lower extremity strengthening exercises.CONCLUSION IgG4-related spinal pachymeningitis,diagnosed on MRI,was treated with corticosteroids and a structured rehabilitation regimen,leading to significant improvement.

文摘Karl Ludwig Kahlbaum(1828-1899)was the first to conceptualize and describe the main clinical features of a novel psychiatric illness,which he termed catatonia in his groundbreaking monograph published 150 years ago.Although Kahlbaum postulated catatonia as a separate disease entity characterized by psychomotor symptoms and a cyclical course,a close examination of his 26 cases reveals that most of them presented with motor symptom complexes or syndromes associated with various psychiatric and medical conditions.In his classification system,Kraepelin categorized catatonic motor symptoms that occur in combination with psychotic symptoms and typically have a poor prognosis within his dementia praecox(schizophrenia)disease entity.Because of the substantial influence of Kraepelin’s classification,catatonia was predominantly perceived as a component of schizophrenia for most of the 20th century.However,with the advent of the psychopharmacotherapy era starting from the early 1950s,interest in catatonia in both clinical practice and research subsided until the early 2000s.The past two decades have witnessed a resurgence of interest in catatonia.The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition,marked a paradigmatic shift by acknowledging that catatonia can occur secondary to various psychiatric and medical conditions.The introduction of an independent diagnostic category termed“Catatonia Not Otherwise Specified”significantly stimulated research in this field.The authors briefly review the history and findings of recent catatonia research and highlight promising directions for future exploration.
