Motor Strategy

Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) use a different motor gait strategy than healthy people. This study aims at analyzing plane walking differences between two groups of normally developed (ND) subjects and subjects with DS in terms of the generated mechanical power and work in the joints of the lower limb. Thirty-nine adults including two groups of 21 subjects with DS (age: 21.6 ± 7 years (mean ± SD)) and 18 ND subjects (age: 25.1 ± 2.4 years) participated in this study. Gait data and ground reaction forces were acquired using a quantitative movement analysis system composed of an optoelectronic motion analyzer (Elite2002, BTS) with eight infrared cameras, and two force platforms mounted in the middle of walkway. Mechanical power and work exchanges were computed during the stance phase by dedicated software, and then compared between the two groups (significance level: p-value = 0.05). Results showed that the mechanical power at the ankle joint was significantly larger in ND subjects compared to subjects with DS (0.084 ± 0.015 vs 0.027 ± 0.010 W/kg). The mechanical work of the ankle joint and the knee joint was significantly lower in ND compared to DS (0.015 ± 0.013 vs 0.028 ± 0.008 kJ/kg.m, and 0.066 ± 0.031 vs 0.109 ± 0.023 kJ/kg.m, respectively). For both groups, the mechanical work done by knee was less than that performed at the ankle and hip level, which might indicate that the knee muscles mainly absorb the energy, rather than generate it. Our results suggest that the subjects with DS walk with a different motor strategy than normal subjects in terms of mechanical power and work in the joints of the lower extremity. Further investigations are warranted to study the relation between these parameters and gait strategy in subjects with DS, which can lead to better rehabilitative strategies.

Childbirthis a processLabor of opening and depleting the cervix and the fetus down into the birth canal. Birth is a process in which the fetus and amniotic are pushed out through the birth canal. (Sarwono, 2008). According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates more than 585,000 mothers annually die during pregnancy or childbirth. Indonesia Health Demographic Survey (SDKI) Survey in 2012, Maternal Mortality Rate in Indonesia is still high at 359 per 100,000 live births. The purpose of this study is the knowledge of maternal knowledge, maternal age, and maternal parity associated with normal birth events at Palembang Bari Hospital 2017. This study used analytical survey method with cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all maternal mothers at the Palembang Bari Hospital in 2017. Sampling in the study was conducted non-randomly with the technique of "Accidental Sampling". Data analysis was done univariat and bivariate with Chi-Square statistical test with significance level α = 0,05. The result of this research shows that there is correlation between mother's knowledge with normal delivery incidence with p value 0,001, there is correlation between mother age with normal delivery incidence with p value 0,009, there is relation between mother parity with normal delivery incidence with p value 0,001. From result of this research hopes healthcare workers can improve normal delivery care services and more often to carry out maternal safety counseling.

Introduction: Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is a problem with structure and function of the heart that is present at birth.  Children with CHD require special care, treatment and follow up for a number of common conditions which may be quite straining to the care givers. The objective of the study was to find out the burden of care among mothers having children with CHD. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a cardiac centre of Nepal. A total of 95 mothers having children with CHD attending outpatient department of our institute were selected as the sample for the study using non-probability purposive sampling technique. A semi structured interview questionnaire consisting of the Modified Caregiver Strain Index was used to assess the burden of care among mothers having children with CHD. Frequency and percent were used to describe the variables and chi- square test at 0.05 significance level was used to analyse associations. Results: Most (77.9%) of the mothers were regularly strained to find that their children’s health condition was deteriorating due to CHD. Nearly half (44.2%) of the mothers always had financial constrain while giving care to the child, nearly half (40%) of the mothers had done emotional adjustments to take care of their children with CHD, another two-fifths (28.4%) of the mothers sometimes had disturbed sleep and almost half (46.3%) of the mothers were always upset due to some behaviour of their child with CHD. Half (50.5%) of the mothers had high level of burden of care. Statistically significant association were found between age of the mother and level of burden of care (p value = 0.05). Similarly, the type of family (p value = 0.005), age of the children (p value = 0.000) and type of CHD (p value = 0.002) were significantly associated with the level of burden of care among the mothers. Conclusion: The study concluded that mothers tend to feel less burden of care as the child grows older, mothers having children with cyanotic heart disease tend to experience more burden of care. Mothers of less than thirty years of age and living in a joint family also experience more burden of care.

Export System

The banana agro-export sector in Ecuador provides millions of dollars in income for this concept, but with this development, a series of quality standards have been established that must be met to enter the export system. This has contributed to establishing good post-harvest production and management practices that guarantee the optimal production of bananas and plantains. The objective of this study was to determine the factors involved in the rejection of bananas (Musa acuminata) destined for international commercialization. The methodology considered the design modality of non-experimental transactional research, with a quantitative approach. The methodological design was developed in three phases at Finca 6 Hermanas located in the Barraganete sector of the San Juan parish in the Puebloviejo canton of the Los Ríos Province, Ecuador. The results highlight that the main causes for which banana rejection is generated are due to abiotic factors (damage, dry latex, scar, insect damage, broken neck, overgrowth) in a higher percentage of 79.55 % and biotic factors ( twins, diseases, short finger) by 20.45 %. The average rejection was 6 361 fingers and1 269 Kilograms (K) over the 6-week study duration. The analysis of variance turned out to be significant for variable 1 (biotic and abiotic). Ho is rejected; with the criterion of p-value < 0.0001 and F (9; 45) = 2.10., F = 13.17> F critic. In the case of variable (2) “work weeks”, Ho is accepted with the criteria obtained of p-value of 0.7694 and F (5; 45) = 2.4., As F = 0.51 < F critic, it is concludes, that with a significance level of 5% the null hypothesis is accepted. It is concluded that these figures lead to the elaboration of strategies that systemically mitigate the damages, by correcting each one of the causes that cause the deterioration of the banana and increasing the economic gains of the commercialization process.

An unaddressed and important issue is the role age plays in modulating response to short acting β2-agonists in individuals with asthma. The objective of this study was to identify whether age modifies genetic associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with bronchodilator response (BDR) to β2-agonists. Using three cohorts with a total of 892 subjects, we ran a genome wide interaction study (GWIS) for each cohort to examine SNP by age interactions with BDR. A fixed effect meta-analysis was used to combine the results. In order to determine if previously identified BDR SNPs had an age interaction, we also examined 16 polymorphisms in candidate genes from two published genome wide association studies (GWAS) of BDR. There were no significant SNP by age interactions on BDR using the genome wide significance level of 5 × 10−8. Using a suggestive significance level of 5 × 10−6, three interactions, including one for a SNP within PRAG1 (rs4840337), were significant and replicated at the significance level of 0.05. Considering candidate genes from two previous GWAS of BDR, three SNPs (rs10476900 (near ADRB2) [p-value = 0.009], rs10827492 (CREM) [p-value = 0.02], and rs72646209 (NCOA3) [p-value = 0.02]) had a marginally significant interaction with age on BDR (p < 0.05). Our results suggest age may be an important modifier of genetic associations for BDR in asthma.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible difference in seminal characteristics of Dorper rams of either high, medium or low social ranks in northern Mexico (26º N). The male’s social status was quantified through a competitive behavioral test in a herd of 36 adult males, the aggressive interactions and their consequences were registered to calculate the success index (SI), where low hierarchy (LH) rams had a SI of 0 to 0.33, medium hierarchy (MH) rams had a SI of 0.34 to 0.66 and high hierarchy (HH) had a SI of 0.67 to 1. Afterwards, the rams were subjected to an estrogenized female (2 mg of estradiol cypionate) for teasing in order to collect a semen sample with an artificial vagina. The semen was evaluated for volume, motility and concentration. The seminal characteristics differences were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA tests and stablishing a p-value of 0.10 as significance level in the SPSS statistical package. Results are shown in table 1. In conclusion, low hierarchy Dorper rams show a statistical tendency to have a lower sperm concentration.

Arterial Revascularization

Background: Contemporary outcome data regarding effects of atherectomy in lower extremity arterial revascularization is lacking. Methods: We queried HCUP’s Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) for 2012 using the appropriate primary ICD 9-CM diagnostic code for peripheral vascular disease and procedural codes 39.90 (bare metal stent - BMS), 00.55 (drug eluting stent - DES), 17.56 (peripheral artherectomy) and 39.50 for angioplasty. Only procedures performed in patients >= 18 years were included. Hierarchical mixed effects logistic regression models were generated to evaluate multivariate predictors of outcomes. Results: In total 13,206 (weighted: 66,030) lower extremity arterial revascularization were analyzed (65.5% white, 56.2% Male & 97.4% angioplasty). Atherectomy utilization (23.2%) was associated with significant reduction in amputation (11.5% vs 13.4%), any complications (13.2% vs 16.3%) and in hospital morality (0.8% vs 1.4%) compared to no atherectomy group (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed similar results with decrease amputation (OR, 95% CI; p - value) (0.83, 0.71 - 0.97, p = 0.02) and in hospital mortality/any complication (0.79, 0.69 - 0.90, p = 0.001) with atherectomy (similar results were observed with propensity score matching). “Atherectomy only” was utilized only in 2.3%. post-hoc analysis also shows better outcomes when atherectomy was used with either angioplasty or stenting (figure a & b). subgroup multivariate analysis shows significant reduction in amputation when atherectomy was utilized in chronic limb ischemia (0.74, 0.59 - 0.93, p = 0.01) and with angioplasty (0.72, 0.60 - 0.87, p = 0.001) and trend towards advantage while used along with stents but not reaching statistical significant. Conclusion: Lower extremity atherectomy utilization was associated with significant reduction in amputation and overall complication. We observed better outcomes when atherectomy was used in conjunction with angioplasty.
