The Relationship

Objectives: Little is known about the relationship between core stability and shoulder dysfunction in shoulder impingement syndrome. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference between healthy volunteers and patients with shoulder dysfunction in regard to core stability measures. Secondary purpose was to explore the relationship between measures of core stability and measures of shoulder dysfunction. Methods: 15 patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (mean age: 32.2±4.2 years) and 15 healthy volunteers (mean age: 33.8±6.2 years) participated in this study. Sorenson test, front plank and side bridge exercise was performed to assess anterior, lateral and posterior core endurance, respectively. Simple shoulder test (SSS) and seated medicine ball throw test was used to evaluate the functions of the shoulder joints. Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of variables between groups. Analyses of relationships between variables were examined with Spearman correlation test. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between patients with shoulder impingement syndrome and healthy controls in core stability and function (p<0.05). A strong positive correlation was found between shoulder functional test (SSS) and lateral bridge test (r= .874, p < .05). Additionally, a modest positive correlation was found between the SSS and the Sorenson test at (r= .695, p < .05), and a weak positive correlation was found between the SSS and the front plank test at (r= .365, p < .05). Conclusion: Core stability and functional deficiency was found in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome. According to this study, greater shoulder dysfunction is correlated with greater stability deficiency. Therapists should consider incorporating core strengthening as an integral component of rehabilitation program in patients with shoulder dysfunction.

Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) occurs due to the mechanical traumaric from the rotator cuff tendon located in the antero-inferior part of the acromion and clamping due to the shoulder movement position of flexion and internal shoulder rotation. This study aims to prove the enhancement of functional ability by providing combination of caudal traction and mobilization with movement compared with caudal traction and scapular stability exercise. The design of this study is pre test-post test group design. The number of group I sample of 8 patients was given intervention with caudal traction and mobilization with movement combination 3 times a week for 2 weeks, then in group II 8 patients were given combination of caudal traction and scapular stability exercise also performed 3 times a week for 2 week. Functional capacity improvement tests using Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). Data were analyzed using statistical program for social science (SPSS) version 18.0. The results showed: (1) There was improvement of functional ability in group I, mean (%) pre 70.352 ± 5.132, and post 10.466 ± 0.517. The result of t-test related shows p value =< 0.001 (p <0,05). (2) There is improvement of functional ability in group II, mean (%) pre 69.727 ± 2.212, and post 21.961 ± 4.251. The result of t-test related shows p value = <0.001 (p <0.05). (3) There are significant differences in Group I and Group II. The result of pre-pre comparative test with independent t-test show p value = 0,605. And result of post-post comparative test with independent t-test shows p value = <0.001 (p <0.05). It was concluded that the combination of caudal traction and mobilization with movement with caudal traction and scapular stability exercise could improve functional ability in external impingement syndrome. There is a significant difference in functional enhancement between caudal traction and mobilization with movement combinations with a combination of caudal traction and scapular stability exercise.

Closed Kinetic Chain

Objectives: The Upper Quarter Y Balance Test (UQYBT) is a reliable upper extremity closed kinetic chain test that can be used to assess unilateral upper extremity performance in a closed chain manner. However, UQYBT was tested only in recreational athletes and there are no studies investigating UQYBT scores in patients with various upper extremity musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in performance on the Upper Quarter Y Balance Test between patient with shoulder impingement syndrome and healthy controls. Methods: A sample of fifteen patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (mean age 32.2±4.2 years) and fifteen healthy control (mean age 33.8±6.2 years) performed the UQYBT. UQYBT was collected bilaterally in three directions (medial, inferolateral, and superolateral). The maximum reach distance for each direction was normalized to upper extremity length (spinous process of C7 to tip of middle finger) and used for analysis Results: A significant difference in performance between patients with shoulder impingement syndrome and healthy controls existed in the medial direction (P<0.05) and the inferolateral direction (P<0.05) where the healthy controls performed better. There was no significant difference in superolateral performance. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that patients with shoulder impingement syndrome will perform worse on the UQYBT in the medial and inferolateral directions than healthy controls. Thus, upper extremity closed kinetic chain exercises should be added in shoulder rehabilitation programs.

Abstract Background Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory reaction of the vessel wall. Emphysema may induce systemic inflammation, part of which may be the development or progression of atherosclerosis. So, the relationship between emphysema and atherosclerosis, whether both are due to the same causative agent and pathogenesis or emphysema led to atherosclerosis, is still not clearly understood. So, the aim of this work is to study the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis versus pulmonary emphysema extent and airflow obstruction. Results Cigarette smoking index was higher in patients than controls. According to FEV1%, patients were classified into: GOLD 1 (mild): FEV1 ≥ 80% predicted, GOLD 2 (moderate): 50% ≤ FEV1 < 80% predicted, GOLD 3 (severe):30% ≤ FEV1 < 50% predicted, and GOLD 4 (very severe): FEV1 < 30% predicted. There was a significant difference between the studied groups as regard to ABG parameters. Emphysema score showed a positive correlation with thrombus size, plaque size, and stenosis percent. Approximately 2/3 of patients had atherosclerotic changes and the other 1/3 had increased IMT. GOLD staging, also, correlated with thrombus size and stenosis percent. So, there was a strong positive correlation between both emphysema score and GOLD staging and carotid atherosclerosis. Conclusion The relationship between emphysema and atherosclerosis is suggested to be the chronic inflammatory reaction (against the same risk factor) based on the positive correlation between carotid atherosclerosis versus emphysema score and GOLD staging. The inherence of emphysema and atherosclerosis may be considered a syndrome. If so, targeting the same pathogenic mechanism will be valuable for their control.

Epidemiological studies around the world have reported that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is closely associated with human health. The distribution of PM2.5concentrations is influenced by multiple geographic and socioeconomic factors. Using a remote-sensing-derived PM2.5dataset, this paper explores the relationship between PM2.5concentrations and meteorological parameters and their spatial variance in China for the period 2001–2010. The spatial variations of the relationships between the annual average PM2.5, the annual average precipitation (AAP), and the annual average temperature (AAT) were evaluated using the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model. The results indicated that PM2.5had a strong and stable correlation with meteorological parameters. In particular, PM2.5had a negative correlation with precipitation and a positive correlation with temperature. In addition, the relationship between the variables changed over space, and the strong negative correlation between PM2.5and the AAP mainly appeared in the warm temperate semihumid region and northern subtropical humid region in 2001 and 2010, with some localized differences. The strong positive correlation between the PM2.5and the AAT mainly occurred in the mid-temperate semiarid region, the humid, semihumid, and semiarid warm temperate regions, and the northern subtropical humid region in 2001 and 2010.

The Relationship

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the study aims to investigate the relationship between the altmetric indicators from ResearchGate (RG) and the bibliometric indicators from the Scopus database. Second, the study seeks to examine the relationship amongst the RG altmetric indicators themselves. RG is a rich source of altmetric indicators such as Citations, RGScore, Impact Points, Profile Views, Publication Views, etc. Design/methodology/approach – For establishing whether RG metrics showed the same results as the established sources of metrics, Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated between the metrics provided by RG and the metrics obtained from Scopus. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were also calculated for the metrics provided by RG. The data were collected by visiting the profile pages of all the members who had an account in RG under the Department of Physics, Panjab University, Chandigarh (India). Findings – The study showed that most of the RG metrics showed strong positive correlation with the Scopus metrics, except for RGScore (RG) and Citations (Scopus), which showed moderate positive correlation. It was also found that the RG metrics showed moderate to strong positive correlation amongst each other. Research limitations/implications – The limitation of this study is that more and more scientists and researchers may join RG in the future, therefore the data may change. The study focuses on the members who had an account in RG under the Department of Physics, Panjab University, Chandigarh (India). Perhaps further studies can be conducted by increasing the sample size and by taking a different sample size having different characteristics. Originality/value – Being an emerging field, not much has been conducted in the area of altmetrics. Very few studies have been conducted on the reach of academic social networks like RG and their validity as sources of altmetric indicators like RGScore, Impact Points, etc. The findings offer insights to the question whether RG can be used as an alternative to traditional sources of bibliometric indicators, especially with reference to a rapidly developing country such as India.
