How young children view mathematical representations: a study using eye-tracking technology

This paper reports on a study which investigated the support needs of pupils in mainstream school with a chronic illness or physical disability. The research was carried out in three local education authorities covering both rural and urban areas. In-depth, qualitative data were collected from 33 pupils in secondary school; 58 parents of primary and secondary school pupils; and 34 primary and secondary school teachers. Overall, the data from young people suggest variability in the support offered to pupils by teachers, even by teachers within the same school, and highlights the importance of teachers' awareness and understanding of special health needs. A number of areas where young people need support from teachers were identified, including: dealing with school absence; taking part in school activities; peer relationships; explaining the condition to other pupils; and having someone to talk to about health-related worries. Data from teachers and parents indicate that school staff need assistance with obtaining health-related information; ensuring health-related information is passed between and within schools; providing emotional support; the provision of medical care; and coordinating support for this group of pupils. The implications of the findings for teachers, schools and educational policy are discussed.

Chronic ankle instability is associated with proprioception deficits: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background:Acute ankle injury causes damage to joint mechanoreceptors and deafferentation and contributes to proprioception deficits in patients with chronic ankle instability(CAI).We aimed to explore whether deficits of proprioception,including kinesthesia and joint position sense(JPS),exist in patients with CAI when compared with the uninjured contralateral side and healthy people.We hypothesized that proprioception deficits did exist in patients with CAI and that the deficits varied by test methodologies.Methods:The study was a systematic review and meta-analysis.We identified studies that compared kinesthesia or JPS in patients with CAI with the uninjured contralateral side or with healthy controls.Meta-analyses were conducted for the studies with similar test procedures,and narrative syntheses were undertaken for the rest.Results:A total of 7731 studies were identified,of which 30 were included for review.A total of 21 studies were eligible for meta-analysis.Compared with the contralateral side,patients with CAI had ankle kinesthesia deficits in inversion and plantarflexion,with a standardized mean difference(SMD)of 0.41 and 0.92,respectively,and active and passive JPS deficits in inversion(SMD=0.92 and 0.72,respectively).Compared with healthy people,patients with CAI had ankle kinesthesia deficits in inversion and eversion(SMD=0.64 and 0.76,respectively),and active JPS deficits in inversion and eversion(SMD=1.00 and 4.82,respectively).Proprioception deficits in the knee and shoulder of patients with CAI were not statistically significant.Conclusion:Proprioception,including both kinesthesia and JPS,of the injured ankle of patients with CAI was impaired,compared with the uninjured contralateral limbs and healthy people.Proprioception varied depending on different movement directions and test methodologies.The use of more detailed measurements of proprioception and interventions for restoring the deficits are recommended in the clinical management of CAI.

Predictors of justice system involvement: Maltreatment and education

Decades of research have established that experience of abuse and/or neglect in childhood is related to negative outcomes, such as juvenile delinquency. Existing research has shown that involvement in child welfare services is also related to juvenile delinquency, particularly for children who are victims of neglect. Research has also identified educational factors such as chronic absenteeism as significant predictors of involvement in the juvenile justice system. However, little research has investigated the combined influence of educational factors, child abuse, and involvement in child protective services on justice system involvement. The current study examined the influence of educational factors and involvement in child protective services on justice system involvement. The study utilized records from an educational database of children who attended a school within a county of Mississippi in any year from 2003 through 2013. Cases were then matched with records from the county Youth Court, Law Enforcement agencies, and Child Protection Services. A multivariate logistic regression controlling for gender, race, current age, and time at risk was conducted to involvement in the justice system. In general, educational factors were stronger predictors of justice system involvement than allegations of maltreatment.

Computed tomography angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention in chronic total occlusion

Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate if dual-source computed tomography(DSCT) could guide the percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) of chronic total occlusion(CTO).Methods:We enrolled patients who were confirmed to have at least one native coronary artery CTO by DSCT before they underwent selective PCI in the period from December 2007 to October 2008.A CTO was defined as an obstruction of a native coronary artery with no luminal continuity.The CT-guided PCI procedure involved placing CT and fluoroscopic images side-by-side on the screen.DSCT images were analyzed for location,segment,plaque characteristics,calcification,and proximal lumen diameter of the CTO before PCI.The guidewire was advanced and manipulated under CT guidance.The PCI was carried out and the results were compared.Results:Seventy-four CTOs were assessed.PCI was successful in 57 cases of CTOs(77.0%).According to the results,CTOs were divided into two groups:successful-PCI and failed-PCI.All coronary artery paths of CTOs were clearly recognized by DSCT.In the successful-PCI group,soft plaques were detected much more often than those in the failed-PCI group,but fibrous and calcified plaques were seen more often in the failed-PCI group.Calcification severity in CTO segments showed a significant difference between the groups(P=0.014).Calcified plaques were detected in 20(35.1%) lesions in the successful-PCI group.More than 70% of the failures were calcified plaques,of which there were two arc-calcified and one circular-calcified lesions.Occlusions were longer in the failed-PCI group than those in the successful-PCI group [(38.8±25.0) vs.(18.0±15.3) mm,respectively,P0.01].Fewer guidewires were used in the successful-PCI group compared with the failed-PCI group(1.7±1.0 vs.2.5±0.9,respectively,P0.01).The logistic regression analysis indicated that predictors of recanalization of CTOs included occlusion length(P=0.0035,risk ratio(RR)=0.93) and calcification severity(P=0.05,RR=0.27).Multi-linear trends analysis showed that the factors affecting procedural time were CTO location(P=0.0141) and occlusion length(P=0.0035).Conclusions:DSCT could delineate the path of CTOs and characterize plaques.The outcomes of PCI were related to thrombolysis in myocardial infarction(TIMI) flow grade,CTO characteristics,severity of calcified plaques,and the length of occlusive segments.Occlusion length and calcification severity were independent predictors of CTOs.Occlusion length and CTO segments could also help to estimate the duration of interventional procedures.

Estimated Creatinine Clearance, Homocysteine and High Sensitivity-C-Reactive Protein Levels Determination for Early Prediction of Nephropathy and Atherosclerosis Risk In Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) patients are increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Many studies had demonstrated that CKD is significantly associated with CVD. We aim to indicate the using estimated creatinine clearance (eCrCl), homocysteine (tHcy), and high sensitivity-C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels, may have an impact on the interpretation risk for nephropathy and CVD. eCrCl was using the Cockroft-Gault formula, eCrCl levels were stratified according to the Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative definition. We measured serum tHcy, hs-CRP, and the other biochemical variables in 54 T2D patients compared with 40 age matched healthy controls (NDM). T2D patients were significantly lower eCrCl than NDM (P < 0.05). T2D patients also showed significantly higher in tHcy, hs-CRP, and MDA levels than NDM subjects (P < 0.05). The eCrCl was significantly correlated with tHcy and hs-CRP levels in T2D patients (r = −0.504, P < 0.001; r = −0.282, P = 0.047). eCrCl had an impact on interpretation for CKD, especially in T2D patients. Decrease eCrCl concomitant with increased in tHcy, hs-CRP, and MDA levels may present a higher risk for future diabetic nephropathy and CVD.
