The Effectiveness of Eccentric-Concentric Training, Isometric Contractions, Scapular and Rotator Cuff Strengthening on Pain and Disability in Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy: A Case Report

Authored by Stasinopoulos Dimitrios*

Objective of the Study: The aim of the present case report is to present the effect of an exercise programme consisting of static stretching exercises, isometric, concentric-eccentric training and strengthening of rotator cuff and scapula muscles exercises on pain and disability in a patient experiencing Lateral Elbow tendinopathy (LET).

Case Report: A patient with unilateral LET for 6 months was included in the present report. The patient followed a supervised exercise programme consisting of slow progressive concentric-eccentric training of the wrist extensors, isometric training of the wrist extensors and static stretching exercises of the extensors muscles of the wrist five times per week for 4 weeks. In addition, the rotator cuff and scapular muscles were strengthened. The programme was individualized on the basis of the patient’s description of pain experienced during the procedure. Outcome measures were pain, using a visual analogue scale, and function, using a visual analogue scale and the pain-free grip strength. The patients were evaluated at baseline, at the end of treatment (week 4) and 1 month (week 8) after the end of treatment.

The Top Hundred Papers of Uveitis Research. A Bibliometric Analysis

Authored by Andreas Frings*

To identify and evaluate the 100 most frequently cited articles containing uveitis research. Utilizing Databases, specifically of the Institute for Scientific Information, we recognized all issued articles relevant to the topic of uveitis research. All articles containing uveitis research, a publication date ranging from 1900 to September 2016, and had been cited at least 100 times, were included. The top 100 of that list matching the criteria from the above were then further analyzed. Out of the 100 most-cited articles the most cited one in uveitis research with 923 citations was entitled Standardization of uveitis nomenclature for reporting clinical data. A result of the First International Workshop (Jabs et al.). Citations ranged from 106 to 923 and the two main focus areas were clinical and basic research articles. The leading countries of origin were the U.S. followed by the United Kingdom. Most articles represented Level-III evidence, followed by Level IIb and IV. Our present study demonstrates that the majority (n= 54) of the top ranked articles were published in six of the top ranked journals. Four of these journals originated in the U.S. and one each of these originated in the Netherlands and the U.K. Younger case studies had higher citation rate (in 2015) as older studies. The biggest portion of articles represented Level -III clinical outcome studies implicating that even smaller case series or cohort studies could gain attention.

Reviewing the Role of Netnographic Research in Bridging the Gap between Youngsters and Adults

Authored by Sarnou Dalal*

Either referred to as the information age, computer age or most commonly now as the digital age, this era of an unprecedented technological advancement in all fields has captured the attention of scholars in the humanities to investigate the ubiquitous nature of computing and the prolific use of technology in almost all aspects of human activity. Because the last two decades or so have been characterized by communication based on information technologies, a myriad of researches studying the very nature of human interaction with and through new technologies has escalated. Aiming at redefining humanity in the digital age, many scholars have brought about new theorizations that seek to answer questions like: do we shape technology or is it technology that shapes us? Donna Haraway’s Cyborg theory (1991), for instance, proposes an imaginary world of fusions between animal and machine. Rosi Braidotti’s the Posthuman Project (2012) explains that in the era of advanced postmodernity, the notion of ‘the human’ is both de-stabilized by technologically mediated social relations in a globally connected world and is thrown open to contradictory redefinitions of what is to be human.

By putting emphasis on the deeply-rooted changes that are happening to humanity at a high pace, the present paper reflects on new directions in the humanities that seek to decipher these technology-related changes. More particularly, my focus is to consider how Robert Kozinets’ netnography, as an emerging research method in digital anthropology, can help educators, parents and students to understand the transformations that are taking place in their behavior in real life situations. By accentuating the strong impact spending long hours on social media and being glued to one’s electronic devices have on our social behavior, I inquire, in this article, about the role netnographers could play in assisting teachers and parents to bridge the gap between the latter and youngsters by explaining to them the behavior of their students/ children who have become virtualized.

Authored by Vincent van Ginneken*

Urethral stricture is an uncommon urological condition in developing countries like India. It usually results from trauma, iatrogenic injuries and venereal infections. Penile carcinoma is a common genital cancer with usual risk factors being phimosis, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, tobacco smoking, sexual promiscuity and poor hygiene. The occurrence of carcinoma in penile stump following Johannson’s staged urethroplasty for anterior urethral stricture is extremely rare. Herein, we report a rare delayed occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma in the penile stump following Johannson’s staged urethroplasty for anterior urethral stricture in a circumscribed man.

Study on Efficiency of Alternate Light Source for Detection of Latent Fingerprints

Authored by Peter Kiran A*

Latent prints being the most common form of evidence at a crime scene, links the person directly to the crime scene and needs to be detected and collected using a non-destructive method which includes the use of light sources and different illumination methods. It is known that detecting fresh latent prints at a crime scene using light sources is quite easy, but using the light sources to detect latent prints which have been deposited over a period of time is a challenge. The purpose of the current study is to determine how long Alternate Light Source (ALS) can be used as an effective method in detecting latent prints which have been deposited on the surface over a period of time and by evaluating the quality of the latent prints and determining the best light source and the best illumination method for detecting and photographing the latent prints.

Posterolateral Percutaneous Endoscopic Discectomy with Partial Pediculotomy for the L1-L2 High-Grade Downward Migrated Disc Herniation

Authored by Yoshihiro Kitahama*

Percutaneous endoscopic discectomy (PED) is one of the most useful minimally invasive surgical techniques for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). However, high-grade migrated disc is difficult to treat with only the standard posterolateral approach (posterolateral PED, PLPED). To overcome this difficulty, we combined the pediculotomy with PLPED for the treatment of high-grade migrated LDH. The pediculotomy is the recent technic for PED that has been explored with development of high-speed drill. A 72-year-old man had a 6-month history of left L2 radiculopathy. His general state was too poor to perform general anesthesia and invasive surgery. The left L1-L2 downward migrated fragment compressed his L2 nerve root axial portion on magnetic resonance imaging. PLPED with partial pediculotomy was used for complete total removal, which cured his symptoms without any complications. Thirty minutes after fragmentectomy, we needed to control 100-ml bleeding from the anterior epidural venous plexus (AEVP). Upper-level migrated large lumbar disc fragments often require facetectomy with some fusion in conventional microscopic surgery. This case was too complicated for indicating the conventional technique. Only the flexible bipolar device helps control hemostasis in the PED system, but some bleeding cannot be controlled easily. PLPED with partial pediculotomy was useful for a migrated fragment in patients with poor general conditions. Although the PED system requires a new device to control the bleeding from the AEVP.

Roqia Al-Azzani (TBI) Serial CT Control Analysis of Necessity and Outcome

Authored by Roqia al-Azzani*

TBI is a leading cause of death and disability around the globe. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) are the most widely used methods of describing TBI and measure of outcome following head injury. Computed tomography (CT) has become the current standard for diagnosing intracranial pathology following head trauma The aims of this study were to identify radiological features of patients in who repeated CT imaging would be useful and to identify the outcome of head trauma, according to Glasgow Outcome Scale .In addition to make a development of a stratification protocol of patients into appropriate risk groups avoiding over or under investigation in such patients. A retrospective case series study analysis of head trauma patients presenting to the 48 Medical Model Compound Hospital between January and March 2017. All patients requiring a CT head on admission and then a repeat (control) CT at 6 hours or more were included. Their GCS was assessed twice before undergoing the control brain CT scans; once they arrived at the hospital, then followed by another assessment after 3 hours and assessed GOS on discharge. Of the total 27-control brain CTs, it was seen there were no different in 23 (85.2 %). In CTs of anther 1 (3.7%) there was increasing in the pathology present. And in the anther 3 (11.11%) there were a decrease in the pathology. Over all, all patients had clinical improvement and good outcome depending on of GCS and Glasgow Outcome Scale respectively. To conclude, control brain CT scans after 6 hours or more from the event are not necessary in case the initial CT was normal or when there is no clinical deterioration Background. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is defined as damage to the brain resulting from external mechanical force, such as rapid acceleration or deceleration, impact, blast waves, or penetration by a projectile and presents a major worldwide social, economic, and health problem. TBI is a leading cause of death and disability around the globe. In developing countries, the incidence of traumatic brain injury is increasing as traffic increases, besides Other confounding factors such as industrialization, falls and ballistic trauma. The most widely used methods of describing TBI are the Glasgow Coma Scale (Figure 1). It is predictive of mortality in a general TBI population. The Glasgow Outcome Scale (Figure 2) is the most widely used and accepted measure of outcome following head injury. Computed Tomography (CT) is the preferred radiologic test in TBI it is quick, accurate, and widely available, it has become the current standard for diagnosing intracranial pathology following head trauma. And the role of the initial brain CT scan and of unscheduled repeat brain CTs when a neurological deterioration occurs is well established. But using of routine serial head CT in patients without neurologic deterioration is not supported by the findings of Brown et al. The aims of this study are to identify radiological features of patients in who repeated CT imaging would be useful and to Identify the outcome of head trauma, according to Glasgow Outcome Scale. In addition to make a development of a stratification protocol of patients into appropriate risk groups avoiding over or under investigation in such patients.

Design of A Roadmap for Implementing A Quality Approach At ONS-Algeria

Authored by Tarik Bourezgue*

The rapid changes in Algeria have had and continue to have a profound impact on infrastructure, economic agents and the population as a whole. These transformations have already turned the statistical landscape upside down and will continue to do so. In fact, the need for statistical data has changed and evolved in terms of the nature of the statistics, on one hand, and requirements regarding availability, quality and time, on the other hand. Starting from the context described above, the development of ONS-Algeria’s quality approach is essentially based on the capitalization of the work of cooperation with Eurostat on the principles of the European Quality Assurance Framework for Official Statistics (QAF), the option for a participatory and transparent process to enrich this approach and facilitate its appropriation and lastly, conducting the process in stages. In driving the process step by step, to optimize its management, our paper will address the issues related to the design of a roadmap for implementing the Code of Practice (CoP) for the ENP south countries.

Pathology of Cardiovascular System in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Authored by Khlynova OV*

The purpose the work was studying of cardiovascular system disease prevalence and structure in persons with the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) using Gastroenterology department of the Perm regional hospital as an example. It was the retrospective one-stage research including studying case histories of the patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) examined and treated in gastroenterological clinic for the period of 2013-2016. There were 291 patients with IBD, chronic cardiovascular pathology was revealed only in 90 patients. Comparative analysis showed that combined diseases were mainly spread in men with UC of middle and advanced age. The most typical for them was combination of UC and ischemic heart disease (50% of cases). Cardiovascular system pathology was 1.5 times more common for women with CD pathology. Besides CD, thromboses of peripheral veins (45% of cases) and myocardial dystrophy (24.5% of cases) were the most frequent pathologies. Due to the small number of patients with IBD and cardiovascular system pathology, it is not possible to claim unambiguously the degree of cardiac disorders in patients with IBD. Thus, it is planned to increase the number of observations to reach statistically optimum conclusion. Studying of this problem is of special practical importance for the possibility to regard patients with IBD as a group of patients with high cardiovascular risk. This will necessitate a number of preventive actions to prevent cardiovascular accidents of fatal and non-fatal character.

Authored by Linlin Xu*

To research about PDT influence to thymus-dependent lymphocyte subpopulation from peripheral blood of bronchogenic carcinoma. Taking forty patients as study objects who suffering the bronchogenic carcinoma, the researchers use semi-conductive laser therapy apparatus (made in China) to irradiate the diseased region, and then observe the changed information of thymus-dependent lymphocyte subpopulation from peripheral blood during pre-therapy and post-treatment by immunohistochemical techniques of streptavidin-peroxidase (abbreviation: S-P method). The level of some medical data in pre-therapy is higher than the data in post-therapy (like CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+, CD45RA+, the absolute value of CD45RA+, the absolute value of CD45RA+ and CD45RA+/RO+); And the level of CD45RO+ (P< 0.05) is lower than the data in pre-therapy.  Photodynamic therapy provides the technical support with clinic treatment for bronchogenic carcinoma through immune adjustment to enhance the immunologic function.

Suicidal Attempt by Hanging-Unusual Evolution-Case Report

Authored by Cristina Otilia Laza*

Hanging is the most common suicide method that is used by men and women also. The mechanisms of death recognized are airway obstruction, carotid sinus compression with vagal inhibition (and reflex cardiac arrest), arterial blockage with brain ischemia, blockage of both IJV, with edema of the face, brain, tongue, larynx pharynx, fractures in cervical vertebral column with the cord injury. We present an extreme case of an 62 year-old man, who try to suicide by hanging, but he was discovered by the family still breathing. They call 911. SMURD resuscitate him and rush him to the hospital there was admitted in ICU-ENT unit. The patient was comatose, with giant edema of the head, and cyanosis, brain edema and ischemia with possible decerebration. We present this case because of a few unique particularities first the fact that he was a person with a permanent tracheostomy -5 years ago was diagnose with laryngeal carcinoma and treated with total laryngectomy and neck dissection followed by radiotherapy the extended period of time between hanging and salvage -was discovered hanging by the rope 2 days after the event still breathing -unique in cases reports all over the world. Also It example that mechanism of death can be other than respiratory asphyxia in hanging cases. Also is important to discuss the suicidal attempt in patients with cancer, and the quality of life after a mutilating surgery. even till now there are no signs of recurrence.

Colorless Lucid Dreams in University Students; It’s Possible Relevance to X-Chromosome Linkage and Multi-Colored Visual Imaging

Authored by Seung CK*

Some people only tend to have black and white dreams while they are dreaming. There are studies that show that experience in black and white media have influence in this dream1. Also, Middleton (1942) found that 70.7% of 277 college sophomores reported “rarely” or “never” seeing colors in their dreams. The present study replicated Middleton’s questionnaire and found that a sample of 124 students in 2001 reported a significantly greater rate of colored dreaming than the earlier sample, with only 17.7% saying that they “rarely” or “never” see colors in their dreams. In our study, 190 Yonsei University students were randomly chosen to investigate whether they experience only black and white dream. Ahead of investigation, 94 university students were asked about how frequently they dream and the validity to see color in dreams. Out of 93 respondents, a majority (34) answered that they frequently experience dreaming while they are asleep. Still, there are those who do not dream, for 20 people answered that they barely experience dreaming.
