An unprecedented phosphinine with significant P(π)-donor properties

A hitherto unprecedented electronic situation has been observed for a substituted, pyridyl-functionalized phosphinine. In contrast to previous studies, this compound shows considerable π-donor properties as the result of the rather strong +M effect of the CH3S-substituent, changing the electronic properties of this low-coordinate and aromatic phosphorus heterocycle substantially

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy patients: Risk factors A systematic review

SummaryIntroductionSeveral risk factors for sudden unexplained death in epilepsy patients (SUDEP) have been proposed, but subsequent work has yielded conflicting data. The relative importance of various risk factors for SUDEP was never explored. The aim of this study is to review systematically risk factors for SUDEP and also to determine their relevance for SUDEP by calculating relative risk factor ratios.Methods and materialsAuthors performed a literature-search on “SUDEP” in Medline, the Cochrane Library and EMBASE. Studies with unknown number of SUDEP cases or with less than five SUDEP cases and reviews were excluded from further analysis. The value of each paper was assessed, based on the quality of the study and the reliability of the diagnosis of SUDEP. This value ranged from 1 (low quality) to 10 (high quality). Papers with a value below 7 were eliminated for further analysis. For each analysed factor, a risk factor ratio was determined, with a higher ratio for a stronger risk factor.ResultsA number of strong risk factors for SUDEP: young age, early onset of seizures, the presence of generalized tonic clonic seizures, male sex and being in bed. Weak risk factors for SUDEP: prone position, one or more subtherapeutic bloodlevels, being in the bedroom, a strucural brain lesion and sleeping.ConclusionsIn this study, authors have designed a quality scale to select papers. The relative importance of risk factors for SUDEP is demonstrated

‘Stand still … , and move on’, a new early intervention service for cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers: rationale and description of the intervention

This series of articles for rehabilitation in practice aims to cover a knowledge element of the rehabilitation medicine curriculum. Nevertheless they are intended to be of interest to a multidisciplinary audience. The competency addressed in this article is ‘The trainee demonstrates a knowledge of diagnostic approaches for specific impairments including cognitive dysfunction as a result of cardiac arrest.

Comparison of the efficacy of a neutral wrist splint and wrist splint with lumbrical unit for the treatment of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a neutral wrist splint or a wrist splint with an additional metacarpophalangeal (MCP) unit on pain, function, grip and pinch strength in patients with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods: Twenty four patients received conservative treatment using either the neutral wrist splint or wrist splint with the MCP unit for a period of 6 weeks. Primary outcome measures were pain, function, grip and pinch strength. Data was collected immediately before and after using the two types of splints at baseline (0 weeks) and 6 weeks. Statistical analysis was performed using the paired t-test and independent T-test. Results: Compared to baseline, both the neutral wrist splint and the wrist splint with an MCP unit significantly decreased pain, increased function and pinch and grip strength. Comparisons of the two types of splints for grip (P =0.675) and pinch strength (P =0.650) revealed that there were no significant differences between the two after 6 weeks of wear. However, there were significant differences in pain levels (P =0.022) and the DASH score (P =0.027) between the two types of splints from baseline to 6 weeks. Conclusion: The wrist splint with an MCP unit was more effective than the neutral wrist splint in pain reduction and improvement of function

Compliance to DMD care considerations in the Netherlands

Background and objective: To optimize care for patients with DMD, it is essential to know to what extent current care complies with the recommended monitoring frequencies suggested by the DMD care considerations. The objective of this study was to investigate the current care for patients with DMD in the Netherlands and to what extent the care complies with the international care considerations.Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire was carried out among the Dutch DMD patients and caregivers about the patients' functional and health status, visits to healthcare professionals, clinical tests and assessments, therapy, medication use and access to medical aids and devices. Compliance to guidelines was defined by comparing the frequency of visits to health care providers and clinical tests with the recommended frequencies derived from the care considerations of 2010.Results: Eighty-four participants completed the questionnaire. The majority of participants met the recommended visit frequencies to a neuromuscular specialist and cardiologist. Compliance was suboptimal for respiratory assessments in the non-ambulatory phase, monitoring of side effects of corticosteroid use and neuromuscular assessments. Disease specific information supply was perceived as sufficient and participants were satisfied with the received care.Conclusions: This study identifies areas in which compliance is lacking. Countries, such as the Netherlands, working according to a shared care system require easy and low-threshold communication between health care centers and a clear division of roles and responsibilities to reach optimal compliance. In the Netherlands the Duchenne Center Netherlands has the coordinating role.Neurological Motor Disorder

Coastal upwelling in the Rias Bajas, NW Spain: Contrasting the benthic regimes of the Rias de Arosa and de Muros

Nutrient-rich North Atlantic water upwells off the NW coast of Spain and intermittently intrudes into the rias, coastal embayments, by displacement during periods of offshore winds. High primary production associated with the upwelling supports an intensive raft culture of the edible mussel, Mytilus edulis. This culture is most intensive (ca. 2000 rafts) in the Ria de Arosa, and results in one of the highest protein yields per unit area on earth...

Occurrence of symptoms in different stages of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and their impact on social participation

Introduction/Aims: As life expectancy improves for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), new symptoms are likely to arise. This aims of this study are: (1) to explore the prevalence of a broad variety of symptoms in the various stages of DMD (with and without steroid use); (2) to explore the prevalence of common secondary diagnoses; and (3) to evaluate the social participation level of patients with DMD older than 16 y of age; and to explore correlations between social participation and symptoms.Methods A cross-sectional self-report questionnaire, including questions on functional level and health status, as well as a standardized participation scale was distributed among Dutch patients with DMD.Results Eighty-four male patients with a mean age of 22.0 (SD = 10.0) y were enrolled. The most prevalent and limiting symptoms were difficulty coughing (58%), coldness of hands (57%), contractures (51%), stiffness (49%), fatigue (40%), myalgia (38%), and low speech volume (33%). Prevalent secondary diagnoses included cardiac disease (14%), neurobehavioral diagnosis (13%), low blood pressure (13%), and arthrosis (5%). Social participation correlated negatively with coldness of hands (r = - .29; P < .03), decreased intelligibility (r = - .40; P < .003), and chewing problems (r = - .33; P < .02).Discussion The prevalence of a broad spectrum of symptoms and secondary diagnoses is high in patients with DMD, and some of these symptoms are correlated with social participation. Growing awareness of new symptoms and secondary diagnoses among patients, caregivers, and professionals can enhance their recognition, possibly facilitating prevention and early treatment.Neurological Motor Disorder
