Conclusion In patients with an isolated acetabular fracture, 3D printing mirror model technology might lead to more accurate and efficient treatment than traditional 3D printing technology.Gastric cancer patients with severe peritoneal metastases, defined as massive ascites and/or inadequate oral intake, have been excluded from clinical trials of new treatments due to poor prognosis and tumor-related complications, such as ileus. Based on the results of the JCOG1108/WJOG7312G study, their prognosis when treated with 5-fluorouracil/l-leucovorin or 5-fluorouracil/l-leucovorin plus paclitaxel remained extremely poor in this setting. Retrospective studies have shown the promising efficacy of the modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6) regimen, with improved ascites and oral intake. Therefore, we planned a Phase II study of mFOLFOX6 in gastric cancer patients with severe peritoneal metastases (jRCTs041180007). The primary end point is overall survival, with an exploratory analysis comparing the findings with those of the JCOG1108/WJOG7312G study using Bayes' theorem. Trial registration Identifier jRCTs041180007 (jRCTs the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials).Background Breast milk (BM) is considered the ideal and natural way of feeding for all infants. Although previous studies evaluated the factors influencing the content of BM, data concerning the effect of being a refugee on macronutrient contents of BM are rather inadequate. Therefore, we aimed to compare the macronutrient content of colostrum samples of Turkish and Syrian mothers. Materials and Methods BM from lactating mothers who delivered term newborns was collected within the first 48 hours of lactation. Milk protein, fat, carbohydrate, and energy levels were measured by using a mid-infrared human milk analyzer. Demographic characteristics of the mothers and the infants were recorded. https://www.selleckchem.com/pharmacological_epigenetics.html Results Colostrum samples of 180 lactating mothers (Turkish 96, Syrian 84) were obtained. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of body mass index of the mothers, mode of delivery, and infant gender. However, Syrian mothers gained less weight during pregnancy compared with Turkish mothers (p = 0.029). The median protein, fat, and energy levels of colostrum samples were found to be significantly higher in Turkish mothers than in Syrian mothers (p = 0.001, p = 0.017, p less then 0.001, respectively). Cesarean delivery and being a Syrian refugee were independently associated with lower protein content of colostrum in logistic regression analysis. Conclusion Lactating mothers who delivered their babies through vaginal route were found to be advantageous in terms of colostral protein content. Also, an association between being a refugee and lower protein content of colostrum was remarkable.Problem Many services and professionals refer to themselves as providing rehabilitation. There is no agreed method for determining whether someone has specific expertise in rehabilitation. This makes it difficult for patients and payers to know whether professionals who claim to provide rehabilitation are specifically expert in rehabilitation. Context Doctors have a medical speciality of rehabilitation. The medical training curriculum gives attributes that differentiate a rehabilitation specialist from other doctors. Until recently, these attributes were competencies to undertake activities associated with specialization. Apart from nurses, who have at least one, unofficial, curriculum identifying specific competencies, other professions involved in rehabilitation do not have any way to show specialization in rehabilitation. Capabilities in practice The U.K. General Medical Council accredits specialist medical training. It has moved from specifying multiple practical clinical competencies to specifying fewer high-level 'Capabilities in Practice'. Six are generic to all doctors, eight identify the trained doctor as having specialist rehabilitation skills. This article adopts this approach to put forward seven generic and seven specialist capabilities to identify any professional as having special expertise in rehabilitation. The seven specialist capabilities centre on the biopsychosocial model of illness and multidisciplinary teamwork. Four of them could be used to define a specialist rehabilitation team. Conclusion Seven capabilities identifying specialization in rehabilitation are put forward for discussion. They could form the basis of a formal recognition that any professional has additional expertise in rehabilitation. A validating authority would be needed to provide oversight and governance.Purpose To compare the contraction amplitude and contraction duration of submandibular muscles during the pharyngeal stage of swallowing in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared to normal controls.Method A prospective cross-sectional study design was utilised to recruit 24 participants from the regional area. A total of 14 people with PD and 10 healthy controls (HC) were recruited. Participants swallowed three volumes of thin liquid (5mL, 10mL, 15mL) while the activity of the submandibular muscles was recorded using surface electromyography. Measurements of contraction amplitude ratio (normalised to a maximum voluntary contraction) and contraction duration were computed from recorded electromyographic signals. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) were computed for variables associated with significant main effects.Result Analyses revealed a significant effect of group on contraction amplitude ratio but not contraction duration. There were no significant effects of bolus volume on the dependent variables. ROC analysis indicated that contraction amplitude ratio accurately predicted group assignment in 77% cases.Conclusion Findings revealed that a majority of people with PD in this study utilised a greater percentage of their maximum contraction force in submandibular muscles when swallowing compared to normal controls. Further research is needed to determine if this inefficiency is consistent across larger samples and whether it is due to elevated baseline muscle activity, a compensatory behaviour to accomplish a more effective swallow, or both.
