Efficacy of topical honey therapy against silver sulphadiazine treatment in burns: A biochemical study

Thermal injury is associated with biochemical changes. The present study was undertaken to investigate relation of oxidative free radical generation and related biochemical parameters in burn trauma. The specific aim was to compare the levels of serum lipid peroxide, Ceruloplasmin and Uric Acid in burn patients during treatment with Silver Sulfadiazine Cream and honey therapy. It is a single blind prospective controlled study involving comparison of biochemical changes after treatment with silver sulfadiazine and honey treatment in burn injury. In burn trauma, there is excessive activity of free radicals at the site of injury. This is reflected in elevated blood levels of Lipid peroxide, Ceruloplasmin & Uric Acid. Honey therapy was was shown to decline the levels of serum Lipid peroxide, while there was mild increments in serum Ceruloplasmin levels whereas there was no significant effect on serum Uric Acid levels as compared to silver sulfadiazine treatment. Honey therapy seems to accelerate the process of healing. It has positive effect in reducing oxidative stressful state in burn trauma than the silver sulfadiazine treatment that results in rapid wound healing.

EMDR、适应性信息加工与个案概念化（中）

EMDR是一个整合性的、以咨客为中心的心理治疗方法,治疗那些不是由器质性的损伤为病理学基础的心理问题,它的治疗重点在于大脑的信息加工系统和困扰经历的记忆。EMDR处理导致临床困扰的经验,也处理能使咨客达到更健康的心理状态所需的那些经验。综览EMDR的历史、发展和研究,它是一个主要以经验为支持的治疗方法。本文在阐述适应性信息加工模型之后,用一个延续的个案实例,来说明EMDR的个案概念化和8个阶段的治疗。这个方法用于加工那些建立在病理学基础上的早期记忆、触发当前功能失调的早期记忆,并为将来恰当的行为提供模板,包括克服技能和（或）发展性的不足所需的知识与行为。整合的EMDR与家庭系统观点的好处是可以提供最综合的治疗效果。

运动对胰岛功能影响的研究进展

2型糖尿病的病理生理改变主要是从胰岛素抵抗为主伴随胰岛素分泌不足,转变到胰岛素分泌不足为主伴胰岛素抵抗,影响胰岛功能正常发挥,进而导致慢性高血糖的代谢疾病。科学合理的运动可以恢复胰岛细胞的功能,增加胰岛素敏感性,减轻胰岛素的抵抗现象、促进机体对糖的利用,从而改善2型糖尿病患者胰岛功能和糖代谢的调节作用。因此,养成良好的运动习惯对糖尿病的预防具有积极的促进作用。     

我国单板U型场地滑雪队备战、参赛2010年温哥华冬奥会的心理训练

ORS和思密达治疗急性腹泻病疗效观察

为进一步探讨ORS(口服补液盐)和思密达对成人急性腹泻病的疗效与应用价值,作者对1996年7～9月间,急性腹泻病208例,随机分为oRS加思密达75例。并与单用抗生素66例和联合用药67例作对照,观察结果ORS加思密达显效率明显优于单用抗生索(p<0.05),建议ORS加思密达可作为急性腹泻病病因诊断前的首选疗法。     

Narrated Dissection Videos and Peer-Mentoring to Enhance Anatomy Performance of Underrepresented Minority Students in Physical Therapy Education

Three-dimensional virtual technology (3DVT) educational tools and peer-tutoring have proven to be effective teaching strategies in improving student learning outcomes. The purpose of this study was threefold: (1) compare the anatomy academic performance between underrepresented minority (URM) and non-minority (non-URM) students, (2) compare the voluntary use of 3DVT dissection videos and peer-mentoring between these two cohorts, and (3) estimate the association between the use of these teaching strategies on anatomy examinations and course grades at a school of physical therapy. Three-dimensional virtual technology narrated dissection videos and peer-mentoring were made available to all students. Time accessing the video and attending peer-mentoring sessions was measured throughout the course for all students. Three practical and four written examinations and the final course grade were calculated. Numerous one-way ANOVAs were used to compare examination/course grades between student cohorts (URM and non-URM) and usage of the two educational strategies (3DVT and peer-mentoring). Multiple linear regressions were performed with teaching strategies as predictors and grades as outcomes. Underrepresented minority students demonstrated significantly lower practical examination scores (P = 0.04), lower final course grades (P = 0.01), and a greater use of mentorship hours (P = 0.001) compared to non-URM. The regression models with both predictors (3DVT and peer-mentoring) combined demonstrated the greatest association with grades for both URM and non-URM. For both groups of students, the association between predictors and practical examination scores, although fair, was not statistically significant. Peer-mentoring seems to be the most effective teaching strategy in helping URM students succeed in anatomy.     

An Alternative Method for Anatomy Training: Immersive Virtual Reality

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of immersive three-dimensional (3D) interactive virtual reality (VR) on anatomy training in undergraduate physical therapy students. A total of 72 students were included in the study. The students were randomized into control (n = 36) and VR (n = 36) group according to the Kolb Learning Style Inventory, sex, and Purdue Spatial Visualization Test Rotations (PSVT-R). Each student completed a pre-intervention and post-intervention test, consisting of 15 multiple-choice questions. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, sex, Kolb Learning Style Inventory distribution, and the PSVT-R (P > 0.05). The post-test scores were significantly higher compared to pre-test scores in both the VR group (P < 0.001) and the control group (P < 0.001). The difference between the pre-test and post-test results was found to be significantly higher in favor of the VR group (P < 0.001). In this study, anatomy training with a 3D immersive VR system was found to be beneficial. These results suggest that VR systems can be used as an alternative method to the conventional anatomy training approach for health students.
