The application, character, and effectiveness of person-centred care with service-users, and the community within the discipline of podiatry: a scoping review.
BACKGROUND: The concept of person-centred care is embedded within healthcare policy, focusing on long-term conditions and multimorbidity. The evidence that person-centred care is being operationalised effectively across all areas of healthcare is limited. The aim of this scoping review was to explore the application, features, and effectiveness of person-centred care with service-users, carers, and the community within podiatry. METHODS: The scoping review was based upon Arksey and Malley's five stage framework. The following databases were searched between January 2010 and March 2021: AMED, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane library, SocINDEX, British Education Index, Business Source Complete, MEDLINE (EBSCO), and the EThOS 'Global electronic thesis and dissertation' repository, Prospero, and reference lists of included papers. Primary research articles were included if they reported on a person-centred care focused intervention with podiatry. Research terms were developed, appropriate databases identified, and an initial search resulted in 622 papers which, following removal of duplicates and critical appraisal, resulted in 18 eligible papers. Data extracted involved the types of person-centred care utilised, intervention details, motivations for engaging in person-centred care interventions, and intervention barriers and challenges. RESULTS: Eighteen articles were included in the review. The main type of person-centred care utilised was patient/carer activities around self-management. None of the studies considered the role of the podiatrist as a person-centred care agent. The data on interventions generated the following themes 'service facilitated person-centred care' where a change has been made to service delivery, 'direct clinician delivery' where the intervention is delivered by the clinician with the patient present and 'patient instigated participation' where patient motivation is required to engage with an activity beyond the consultation. Outcome measures associated with quality of care and effectiveness were absent. CONCLUSION: There is a lack of congruency between the concept of person-centred care and how it is operationalised. A whole system approach that considers commissioning, organisational leadership, the role of the practitioners and patients has not been considered. There is immense scope for the podiatrist to play an important part in the personalised-care agenda, but currently research that can evidence the effectiveness of person-centred care in podiatry is absent.

Surface-reconstructed Icosahedral Structures for Lead Clusters
We describe a new family of icosahedral structures for lead clusters. In
general, structures in this family contain a Mackay icosahedral core with a
reconstructed two-shell outer-layer. This family includes the anti-Mackay
icosahedra, which have have a Mackay icosahedral core but with most of the
surface atoms in hexagonal close-packed positions. Using a many-body glue
potential for lead, we identify two icosahedral structures in this family which
have the lowest energies of any known structure in the size range from 900 to
15000 lead atoms. We show that these structures are stabilized by a feature of
the many-body glue part of the interatomic potential.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figure
On a Reconstruction of a Solely Time-Dependent Source in a Time-Fractional Diffusion Equation with Non-smooth Solutions
An inverse source problem for a non-automonous time fractional diffusion equation of order (0 < β< 1) is considered in a bounded Lipschitz domain in Rd. The missing solely time-dependent source is recovered from an additional integral measurement. The existence, uniqueness and regularity of a weak solution is studied. We design two numerical algorithms based on Rothe’s method over uniform and graded grids, derive a priori estimates and prove convergence of iterates towards the exact solution. An essential feature of the fractional subdiffusion problem is that the solution lacks the smoothness near the initial time, although it would be smooth away from t= 0. Rothe’s method on a uniform grid addresses the existence of a such a solution (non-smooth with tγ term where 1 > γ> β) under low regularity assumptions, whilst Rothe’s method over graded grids has the advantage to cope better with the behaviour at t= 0 (also here tβ is included in the class of admissible solutions) for the considered problems. The theoretical obtained results are supported by numerical experiments and stay valid in case of smooth solutions to the problem. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.106016/12P2919N; Universiteit Gent; Russian Science Foundation, RSF: 22-21-00075A.

Afferent inhibition and cortical silent periods in shoulder primary motor cortex and effect of a suprascapular nerve block in people experiencing chronic shoulder pain
© 2015 International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology. Objective: To characterise short afferent inhibition (SAI) and the cortical silent period (CSP) in the primary motor cortex representations of the infraspinatus muscle in healthy adults and people experiencing chronic shoulder pain, to determine the impact of a suprascapular nerve block (SSNB). Methods: Neurophysiological measures were obtained in 18 controls and 8 patients with chronic shoulder pain, pre and post SSNB and 1 week later. Pain intensity was assessed by a visual analogue scale. Results: SAI was apparent in controls (all P < 0.03) and a CSP was observed which reduced in the presence of SAI (all P < 0.0001). Compared to controls, shoulder pain patients demonstrated higher active motor threshold (P = 0.046), less SAI (P = 0.044), a longer CSP (P = 0.048) and less modulation of the CSP by SAI (P = 0.045). Higher motor thresholds were related to higher pain scores (P = 0.009). The SSNB immediately restored SAI (P = 0.013), with a positive relationship between increased SAI and reduced pain (P = 0.031). The SSNB further reduced modulation of CSP by SAI at 1 week post injection (P = 0.006). Conclusions: SAI and the CSP were present and demonstrated robust interaction in controls, which was aberrant in patients. The SSNB transiently restored SAI but had no effect on the CSP; however CSP modulation by SAI was further attenuated 1 week post injection. Significance: The current findings improve understanding of the neurophysiology of the shoulder motor cortex and its modulation by chronic pain. The effect of SSNB in shoulder pain patients should be interpreted with caution until proven in a larger population. Interventions that target intracortical inhibition might increase efficacy in people with chronic shoulder pain
Remote Sensing Surveillance of NO<sub>2</sub>, SO<sub>2</sub>, CO, and AOD along the Suez Canal Pre- and Post-COVID-19 Lockdown Periods and during the Blockage
This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ever Given ship blockage on the air quality in Suez Canal region. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and aerosol optical depth (AOD) were studied, and data were obtained from satellite instruments. The study compared monthly average data for 2020, 2021, and 2022 with a baseline period of 2017–2019 to investigate the pandemic’s effect. The study also analyzed the corresponding period of the canal blockage to identify its impact on air pollution levels. The pandemic had a significant role in decreasing NO2 by 2.5 × 1014 molecule/cm2 and SO2 by 0.05 DU due to reduced car traffic and industrial activities. A reduction in AOD by 20% and CO concentration in the range from 3.5% to 4.7% was reported in early 2020. During the blockage, NO2 and SO2 levels decreased by 14.4% and 66.0%, respectively, while CO and AOD index increased by 12.68% and 51.0%, respectively. The study concludes that the containment measures during the pandemic had a positive impact on the environment, which shows how the reduction in the anthropogenic activities, especially industrial and transportation activities, have improved the air quality. Thus, stricter actions are needed to protect the environment; for example, the transition towards the using of electric vehicle is necessary, which is part of Egypt’s strategy to transition towards a green economy. The government should also adopt a policy to trade carbon emissions reduction certificates to help reduce air pollution.</p
