THE PREVALANCE OF PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE IN LONG STANDING ASYMPTOMATIC SHOP-WORKERS BETWEEN THE AGE GROUP OF 35-45 YEARS USING OSCILLOMETRIC TECHNIQUE: A PILOT STUDY

Background: Peripheral arterial disease is a type of irreversible cell injury to the tissue. Prolonged standing is associated with many health affections related to MSK injury, psychology, mental stress and cardiovascular disease such as DVT. Assessing Ankle-brachial index by Osscilometric technique is an easy, useful tool for screening the population for the prevalence of PAD. This study aims to identify prevalence of PAD in long standing workers using ABI with Osscilometric technique. Method: In this study, 20 long standing workers were selected according to the selection criteria, the participants were installed in a quiet room, or sitting for at least 5 min before measurement. Measurement of systolic pressures of the four limbs were taken in all patients.3 cycles of measurement (right arm, right ankle, left ankle, left arm) were repeated. Results: In our study, prevalence was found to be 23%, out of which 15% were having mild PAD, 8% having moderate PAD. Out of 20 individuals, 14 individuals had a normal score ABI, 6 individuals were found to have lower score- all 6 having bilateral in involvement. 2 of them having moderate and mild involvement in respective lower extremities. Conclusion: Our study concluded that standing for long period has a considerable impact on lower limb blood circulation, and intervention can be made to prevent the circumstances.

Audit of the Nursing Care Standards Before Coronary Angiography in Patients Visiting Angiography

Background: Coronary angiography is an invasive procedure used to diagnose coronary artery disease, and standard nursing care before, during, and after this procedure. A comparison of the current care with the existing standards can lead to improved nursing care quality, increased patient safety, and reduced medical costs. Objectives: Therefore, the aim of this study was to audit the nursing care provided before angiography. Methods: In this analytical descriptive study, the nursing care provided to 400 patients undergoing coronary angiography was evaluated using the event-based sampling method in the angiography ward of hospitals affiliated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected by a demographic form and a standard nursing care checklist. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (i.e., frequency, mean, and standard deviation) and analytical statistics (i.e., chi-square, independent t-test and analysis of variance) in SPSS 18 version. Results: Before angiography, nursing care compliance score was 51.63 ± 4.21, which was significantly different than the normal value (normal score: 61 - 81). At the preoperative stage, 25 (6.3%), 374 (93.5%), and 1 (3%) caring cases, the standard of nursing care was poor, moderate, and good, respectively. Conclusions: Based on our results, in one case, the provided nursing care was in accordance with the standard of nursing care at the preoperative stage of angiography, which can be attributed to the lack of education, control, facilities and awareness among nurses about the importance of standard care.

Identification of hydraulic conductivity via normal-score ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation (NS-MDA) by assimilating hydraulic head or concentration

&lt;p&gt;In this study, we compare the capability of the normal-score ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation (NS-MDA) to identify hydraulic conductivity when it assimilates or hydraulic heads or concentrations. The study is performed in a two-dimensional numerical single point contamination experiment of an aquifer vertical cross section. Reference hydraulic conductivity maps are generated using geostatistics, and the groundwater flow and transport are solved to produce reference state variable data (hydraulic head and concentration). Assimilating data for the inverse problems are sampled in time at a limited number of points from the reference aquifer response. Prior variogram function of hydraulic conductivity is assumed and equally-likely realizations are generated. Stochastic inverse modelling is run using the NS-MDA for the identification of hydraulic conductivity by considering two scenarios: 1) assimilating hydraulic heads only and 2) assimilating concentrations only. Besides the qualitative analysis of the identified hydraulic conductivities maps, the results are quantified by using the average absolute bias (AAB) that represents a measure of accuracy between the reference values and the inversely identified values according each scenarios. The updated parameters reproduce the reference aquifer ones quite well for the two scenarios investigated, with better results for the scenario 1, indicating that NS-MDA is an effective approach to identifying hydraulic conductivities.&lt;/p&gt;

Smell assessment in a HIV positive population: An observational study

HIV (Human Immuno-deficiency Virus) infection has a multi system effect. some publications claimed deterioration of smell perception in HIV. In this study, we present our smell assessment in a group of HIV patients using market available tests. Methods: Cross sectional observational study of 19 patients recruited from a North Wales genito-urinary medicine (GUM) clinic. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to HIV diagnosed patients. Patients who gave consent for the study were invited to an ENT clinic where smell and nasal assessment took place. Patients had anterior rhinoscoy. Smell Threshold test kit was used to assess smell sensation. Normal score smell threshold was considered if score was 5.5 or above. Results: 16 males and 3 females, age range 22-75 (mean 46 years old). 2 African and 17 Caucasian origin subjects. 14/19 (74%) had HIV diagnosis for less than five years. 11/19 (58%) had hyposmia (mean 4.40 while normal score is 5.50) when tested. 16/19 (84%) complained of no hyposmia prior to testing. 12/19 (63%) had highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) treatment. 6/19 (32%) used recreational drugs (Cannabis). None of the patients had cognitive impairment. Conclusions: HIV patients had hyposmia although patients did not report it as a compalaint. Smell threshold is affected in HIV positive patients. This is important for patients health and safety. We recommend assessment of smell in HIV positive patients so they become aware of their reduced sense and its implication.

Porcine bone-patellar tendon-bone xenograft in a caprine model of anterior cruciate ligament repair

The use of human tissue-derived autografts and allografts continues to be the gold standard in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair. However, autografts and allografts have their own set of associated risks. Many alternative options, including synthetic replacements, have failed to demonstrate long-term success. In this study, sterile acellular porcine bone-tendon-bone (BTB) xenografts were created using a proprietary process and tested against BTB autografts in goats for 13 and 52 weeks. At 13 weeks, all xenograft-implanted animals ( n = 9) had subjective hind leg motor function (HLMF) that was categorized as either normal (score = 0) or a slight limp (score = 1) compared with two of nine autograft-implanted animals having a moderate limp (score = 2). At 39 weeks, there was HLMF improvement with each autograft-implanted and xenograft-implanted animal having normal HLMF or only a slight limp. At 13 weeks, six of nine animals in each group achieved normal anterior drawer scores, which increased to nine of nine animals in each group by 39 weeks. Both autografts and xenografts exhibited minimal inflammation with excellent integration of the fibrous tendon portion of the graft to host bone, as evidenced histologically by Sharpey’s fiber formation. At 52 weeks, maximum mechanical load at failure for xenografts was 1092.0 ± 586.4 N compared with 1037.0 ± 422.6 N for autografts. These results demonstrate that a sterile acellular porcine BTB xenograft can perform equivalently to BTB autograft in a caprine model of ACL repair.

Early Premature Infant Oral Motor Intervention Improved Oral Feeding and Prognosis by Promoting Neurodevelopment

Objective This study aimed to explore the clinical significance of early premature infant oral motor intervention (PIOMI) in the prognosis of premature infants. Study Design Infants were randomly divided into an intervention group (n = 78) and a control group (n = 73). PIOMI was given to the intervention group 15 to 30 minutes before feeding once a day for 14 days. The whole procedure lasted 15 minutes, including oral stimulation and nonnutritive sucking. Oral feeding ability and neuromotor development were evaluated using the Preterm Infant Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment (PIOFRA) scale and Infant Neurological International Battery (Infanib) scale. Results The PIOFRA score was higher in the intervention group and increased with time, showing a group–time interaction effect. The intervention group exhibited a higher feeding efficiency, a shorter transition time from assisted oral feeding to independent oral feeding, and lower body weight at achievement of independent oral feeding. The percentages of infants with a normal score on the Infanib scale were higher in the intervention group at 3 and 6 months of age, and an abnormal ratio was lower in the intervention group at 6 months (p < 0.01). Conclusion PIOMI promoted neuromotor coordination by improving neurodevelopment, thereby improving the oral feeding ability and prognosis of preterm infants.
