Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The chronic painful shoulder syndrome comprises the set of symptoms located in the area of the shoulder girdle and all the structures which make this complex, namely, the scapula, the clavicle and the arm. The complexity of the structures, which make up for the shoulder girdle, results in frequent dysfunctions as the abnormality in functioning of only one element can lead to the problems with the whole structure. Pain and limited joint mobility are the most frequent symptoms. The dysfunctions of the shoulder girdle limit the patient’s independence and evoke mental and physical discomfort which decrease the quality of life. The syndrome often occurs as a main disorder but in many cases its symptoms coexist with other diseases. The purposeof the work was to present the possibility of application of therapeutic (tensegrity) massage in the chronic pain shoulder syndrome.Material and methods: This article presents the process of massage application to different muscles of the shoulder in the appropriate order, which is called the therapeutic (tensegrity) massage. The purpose of the massage is to decrease the tonus of the muscle and increase the blood flow which ought to result in restoring the shoulder function. Six 45–minute-long massage sessions were performed and repeated every three days.Results: After the therapy, the decrease of painful shoulder was observed along with the vanish of the shoulder and the arm lifting habit. After this massage period, when the pain was smaller, the patient immediately wanted to continue physiotherapy.Conclusions: Massage is one of the forms of therapy, which can be used in the painful shoulder syndrome. It might often constitute the introductory stage to the rehabilitation aimed at mobilization of the patient.

Background: Chronic localized pain and decreased upper extremity mobility commonly occur following breast cancer surgery and may persist despite use of pain medication and physical therapy.Purpose: We sought to determine the value of myofascial massage to address these pain and mobility limitations.Setting: The study took place at a clinical massage spa in the U.S. Midwest. The research was overseen by MetroHealth Medical Center’s Institutional Review Board and Case Center for Reducing Health Disparities research staff.Participants: 21 women with persistent pain and mobility limitations 3–18 months following breast surgery.Research Design: We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial where intervention patients received myofascial massages and control patients received relaxation massages.Intervention: Intervention participants received 16 myofascial massage sessions over eight weeks that focused on the affected breast, chest, and shoulder areas. Control participants received 16 relaxation massage sessions over eight weeks that avoided the affected breast, chest, and shoulder areas. Participants completed a validated questionnaire at the beginning and end of the study that asked about pain, mobility, and quality of life.Main Outcome Measures: Outcome measures include change in self-reported pain, self-reported mobility, and three quality-of-life questions.Results: At baseline, intervention and control participants were similar in demographic and medical characteristics, pain and mobility ratings, and quality of life. Compared to control participants, intervention participants had more favorable changes in pain (-10.7 vs. +0.4, p < .001), mobility (-14.5 vs. -0.8, p < .001), and general health (+29.5 vs. -2.5, p = .002) after eight weeks. All intervention and control participants reported that receiving massage treatments was a positive experience.Conclusions: Myofascial massage is a promising treatment to address chronic pain and mobility limitations following breast cancer surgery. Further work in several areas is needed to confirm and expand on our study findings.

Background Soft tissue massage and exercise are commonly used to treat episodes of shoulder pain. Objective The study objective was to compare the effects of soft tissue massage and exercise with those of exercise alone on pain, disability, and range of motion in people with nonspecific shoulder pain. Design This was a randomized controlled trial. Setting The study was conducted in public hospital physical therapy clinics in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Participants The study participants were 80 people with an average age of 62.6 years (SD=12.2) who were referred to physical therapists for treatment of nonspecific shoulder pain. Intervention Participants were randomly assigned to either a group that received soft tissue massage around the shoulder and exercises (n=40) or a group that received exercise only (n=40) for 4 weeks. Measurements The primary outcome was improvement in pain, as measured on a 100-mm visual analog scale, 1 week after the cessation of treatment. Secondary outcomes were disability and active flexion, abduction, and hand-behind-back range of motion. Measurements were obtained at baseline, 1 week after the cessation of treatment, and 12 weeks after the cessation of treatment. Results The between-group difference in pain scores from the baseline to 12 weeks after the cessation of treatment demonstrated a small significant difference in favor of the group receiving exercise only (mean difference=14.7 mm). There were no significant differences between groups in any other variable. Limitations It was not possible to mask therapists or participants to group allocation. Diagnostic tests were not used on participants to determine specific shoulder pathology. Conclusions The addition of soft tissue massage to an exercise program for the shoulder conferred no additional benefit for improving pain, disability, or range of motion in people with nonspecific shoulder pain.

Background and objective: Laparoscopic surgery has become a widespread operation for treatment of uncomplicated symptomatic abdominal pathologies. Gynecological laparoscopic procedures are often associated with shoulder pain that may cause more discomfort to the women than the pain at the site of incision. Relive of shoulder pain is an essential goal of gynecological nurse. Its management could be pharmacological or non-pharmacological methods. Among the non-pharmacological approaches are the use of effleurage massage and warm application. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of effleurage massage versus warm application on shoulder pain among postoperative women with gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods: Design: A comparative non-randomized controlled clinical trial was utilized in the present study started by the beginning of September 2018 and continued until the end of January 2019. Setting: This study was carried out in the laparoscopic unit at the Elshatby Maternity University Hospital in Alexandria. Subjects: A convenience sample of 80 women who were available at the time of data collection were recruited from the above mentioned setting. Tools: Tool I: Socio-demographic and clinical data structured interview schedule. Tool II: Visual analog scale (VAS), Tool III: physiologic and behavioral response to pain sheet (PBRPS), Tool IV: A modified version of Johansson Pain-o-meter (JPOM).Results: The study results revealed that shoulder pain intensity was statistically significant before and after intervention among the massage and warm application groups (p = .000). It was also statistically significant between the two groups after intervention (p = .000), where a sizeable proportion of the effleurage massage group (70%) experienced no pain, compared to only 25% of the warm application group.Conclusions: The current study suggests that massage group induces less shoulder pain intensity than the other modality.

Full textAbstract:
Previous reviews of massage therapy for chronic, non-malignant pain have focused on discrete pain conditions. This article aims to provide a broad overview of the literature on the effectiveness of massage for a variety of chronic, non-malignant pain complaints to identify gaps in the research and to inform future clinical trials. Computerized databases were searched for relevant studies including prior reviews and primary trials of massage therapy for chronic, non-malignant pain. Existing research provides fairly robust support for the analgesic effects of massage for non-specific low back pain, but only moderate support for such effects on shoulder pain and headache pain. There is only modest, preliminary support for massage in the treatment of fibromyalgia, mixed chronic pain conditions, neck pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. Thus, research to date provides varying levels of evidence for the benefits of massage therapy for different chronic pain conditions. Future studies should employ rigorous study designs and include follow-up assessments for additional quantification of the longer-term effects of massage on chronic pain.

Background/Aims Shoulder problems are common in the general population. The aim of this research was to compare the short and long-term effects of trigger point deep friction massage and trigger point dry needling therapy on rest, activity, and the intensity of night shoulder pain and shoulder internal rotation in Subacromial Pain Syndrome. Methods Out of 73 outpatients diagnosed with Subacromial Pain Syndrome, 40 were selected according to agreed criteria and were randomly assigned to two groups. A total of 19 patients received trigger point deep friction massage and 21 received trigger point dry needling therapy. The trigger point deep friction massage group received treatment over 3 weeks and the trigger point dry needling therapy group received treatments over 4 weeks. Both groups received six treatment sessions and a programme of post-treatment exercises. The shoulder internal rotation angle was measured using a goniometer, and pain intensities were measured using a visual analogue scale before the first session, after six sessions and after 1 year. Results According to both the short- and long-term data, significant improvements were seen in both groups for all parameters. However, when the groups were compared, no significant difference was found between the two interventions, although the trigger point deep friction massage intervention showed earlier improvements as the treatments could be carried out in 3 weeks, rather than the 4 weeks required for the trigger point dry needling therapy sessions. Conclusions Both trigger point deep friction massage and trigger point dry needling therapy are effective in improving pain and shoulder internal rotation. Both groups maintained significant clinical improvement throughout the year. Although both interventions produced good results, trigger point deep friction massage treatments were completed in a shorter time and so demonstrated earlier improvements. Therefore, Trigger point deep friction massage may be regarded as the preferred option, particularly as no equipment is needed and is a non-invasive method of treatment.

Introduction: Postlaparoscopic shoulder pain (PLSP) has been well documented to effect patients following an abdominal or thoracic laparoscopic surgery. PLSP is characterized by referred pain that can occur both unilaterally or bilaterally, and is typically caused by phrenic nerve irritation. Current literature has focused on pharmacological treatment; however, there is limited evidence for the use of nonpharmacological management of PLSP in the pediatric population.
Case Description: This retrospective case report study explores the use of a single-session massage therapy treatment for a 17-year-old patient with PLSP following laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
Intervention and Results: Therapy intervention included a 25 min Swedish massage involving the effected shoulder with an emphasis on passive touch to the shoulder and at the level of the diaphragm. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pre- and postintervention. Following therapy the patient reported 0/10 pain.
Conclusion: This case report provides evidence for the use of massage therapy treatment as a noninvasive, nonpharmacological approach to reducing or eliminating PLSP in a pediatric patient.

Objective.To evaluate the effectiveness of massage therapy (MT) for neck and shoulder pain.Methods.Seven English and Chinese databases were searched until December 2011 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of MT for neck and shoulder pain. The methodological quality of RCTs was assessed based on PEDro scale. The meta-analyses of MT for neck and shoulder pain were performed.Results.Twelve high-quality studies were included. In immediate effects, the meta-analyses showed significant effects of MT for neck pain (standardised mean difference, SMD, 1.79; 95% confidence intervals, CI, 1.01 to 2.57;P<0.00001) and shoulder pain (SMD, 1.50; 95% CI, 0.55 to 2.45;P=0.002) versus inactive therapies. And MT showed short-term effects for shoulder pain (SMD, 1.51; 95% CI, 0.53 to 2.49;P=0.003). But MT did not show better effects for neck pain (SMD, 0.13; 95% CI, −0.38 to 0.63;P=0.63) or shoulder pain (SMD, 0.88; 95% CI, −0.74 to 2.51;P=0.29) than active therapies. In addition, functional status of the shoulder was not significantly affected by MT.Conclusion.MT may provide immediate effects for neck and shoulder pain. However, MT does not show better effects on pain than other active therapies. No evidence suggests that MT is effective in functional status.

Full textAbstract:
Subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) is a prevalent condition that results in loss of function. Surgery is indicated when pain and functional limitations persist after conservative measures, with scarce evidence about the most-appropriate post-operative approach. Interferential therapy (IFT), as a supplement to other interventions, has shown to relieve musculoskeletal pain. The study aim was to investigate the effects of adding IFT electro-massage to usual care after surgery in adults with SAPS. A randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial was carried out. Fifty-six adults with SAPS, who underwent acromioplasty in the previous 12 weeks, were equally distributed into an IFT electro-massage group or a control group. All participants underwent a two-week intervention (three times per week). The control group received usual care (thermotherapy, therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and ultrasound). For participants in the IFT electro-massage group, a 15-min IFT electro-massage was added to usual care in every session. Shoulder pain intensity was assessed with a 100-mm visual analogue scale. Secondary measures included upper limb functionality (Constant-Murley score), and pain-free passive range of movement. A blinded evaluator collected outcomes at baseline and after the last treatment session. The ANOVA revealed a significant group effect, for those who received IFT electro-massage, for improvements in pain intensity, upper limb function, and shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation (all, p < 0.01). There were no between-group differences for shoulder extension (p = 0.531) and adduction (p = 0.340). Adding IFT electro-massage to usual care, including manual therapy and exercises, revealed greater positive effects on pain, upper limb function, and mobility in adults with SAPS after acromioplasty.

Background:Pain shoulder syndrome is one of the most common conditions that is inherent in patients with various diseases and conditions. This problem is faced by both patients of a rheumatological profile (rheumatoid arthritis), and patients of other profiles: neurological (stroke, hernia of the cervical spine), traumatological (periarthritis). The regular use of painkillers and NSAID is associated with a risk of serious adverse reactions in patients.PNF therapy can have a fairly quick positive effect. Kinesiotaiping is a common and easily accessible treatment method that, due to the inclusion of local neuromuscular adaptation mechanisms, can have an analgesic effect.Objectives:The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of traditional treatment methods in combination.Methods:Patients with pain shoulder syndrome who were admitted to the doctor of physical and rehabilitation medicine were randomly assigned to one of three groups: group G1 - 20 patients who received combined treatment, including massage, acupuncture, PNF, kinesiotherapy.Patients of group G2 (20 people) who received massage and acupuncture sessions, kinesiotherapy, but did not deal with PNF.Patients in group G3 (20 people) received massage, acupuncture, and PNF, excluding kinesiotaping.All patients received treatment 5 times a week (Monday to Friday, excluding Saturday and Sunday), the total duration of the rehabilitation course is 20 days. The program included: 30 minutes an acupuncture session, 20 minutes massage, 45 minutes physical exercises with a physical therapist. Classes using the PNF technique were carried out separately every other day for 45 minutes using the standard method for shoulder pain.VAS was used to monitor efficacy. Pain was assessed at the beginning of the study, with the third, sixth, ninth and last visit to the clinic.Results:The age composition of the patient group is from 31 to 70 years. The gender composition is 35 (58.33%) women, and 25 (41.67%) men.The average time between the onset of clinical symptoms and the first treatment session was 47.3 days. In 90% of patients, a history of pain lasted from 6 weeks or more. 52 patients (86.67%) completed the treatment completely. Of these, G1 is 19 people (90% of this group), 16 (80%) in G2, and 17 of 20 in the G3 group (85%).The average VAS score in G1 was 5.15 at the start of the study, and after the tenth session, it dropped to 2.78. A significant decrease in pain is also observed in the G2 group (from 5.17 at the beginning of the study to 3.19 after the tenth session). The G3 group in terms of pain reduction almost equaled the G1 group, where the level of pain from 5.16 decreased to 2.71.Patients within 6 months after treatment evaluated the level of pain on their own and reported the data to the doctor. In patients of group G1, after 6 months, the average VAS score is 3.71. G3 patients after 6 months, the VAS score is 4.25 points. Patients of the G2 group at 3 months noted a return of the pain syndrome, after 3 months, the VAS score was 5.11.Conclusion:The obtained results testify to the high efficiency of PNF therapy, however, the combination with kinesiotyping allows better consolidation of the effect of therapy and prolongs remission of pain syndrome.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Past literature has identified that approximately 60% to 80% of Taiwanese nationals will suffer from shoulder and neck pain during their life time. With the arrival of the information age, younger generations must complete large amounts of their work sitting at computers. This requires that individuals maintain the same posture whilst typing for a long time, without any additional movements. Shoulder and neck pain cause a number of issues for many people, yet very few of them choose to go to a doctor for these problems. Pain medications are regularly used to relieve such types of pain. As an alternative to these, in the modern age, people may employ treatments such as sprays, pain patches, pain balms, exercise, massage and other auxiliary therapies like heat therapy. The present study included subjects who were clients of an aromatherapy spa in Xinyi District of Taipei who suffered from shoulder and neck pain. Subjects were treated with a combination of aromatherapy, acupuncture with pottery needles, and hand massage. The effects of these were measured via the pain index and heart rate variability.The study used a true experimental design in which subjects were openly recruited. Subjects who fit the criteria were randomly divided into three groups: Experimental Group 1, Experimental Group 2 and the control group. Each group consisted of 15 subjects. Experimental Group 1 received a combination of acupuncture with pottery needles, aromatic oils and hand massage on their shoulders and necks. Experimental Group 2 received a hand massage with basic Jojoba oil on their shoulders and necks. The control group rested without receiving any intervention. The experiment duration was six weeks, and the intervention was performed once per week during this time. Following observation and evaluation of the subjects during the one and a half month experimental period, it can be concluded that Experimental Group 1 had the most relief from the intervention followed by Experimental Group 2. The control group had fewest significant improvements. The present study found that a combination of aromatherapy, acupuncture with pottery needles, and hand massage significantly relieved shoulder and neck pain. This was reflected by both the subjects’ subjective ratings and by objective measurements of their variability in heart rates. The results of the study thus promote the use of this combination of aromatherapy, acupuncture with pottery needles, and hand massage of the neck and shoulders. This may give sufferers more choices for their pain relief and reduce their need to use medications or invasive therapies.

Full textAbstract:
Complementary therapies are modalities that are not traditionally part of Western medical care. Some of these therapies have demonstrated a favourable benefit:risk ratio in recent research and many can be incorporated into a multimodality pain management plan. In general, complementary therapies reduce pain by interfering with the processing of pain signals or lessen the impact of pain on the patient’s emotional state. Mind-body therapies, such as hypnosis, meditation, yoga/qigong, and music therapy, can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-all common in patients experiencing pain. Acupuncture appears to have direct analgesic effects and reduce nausea and vomiting, which are potential side effects from opioid therapy. Massage therapy may reduce anxiety, and to a lesser degree, depression and pain. Complementary therapies are generally safe when provided by trained practitioners, although certain safety precautions still need to be exercised. The origin of pain, the factors complicating it, burdens and risks to patient, and each patient’s belief system and cultural background should all be considered when selecting from among the complementary modalities for pain.

Full textAbstract:
Coccygodynia, or coccygeal pain, is also known as coccydynia, coccalgia, or coccygalgia. It is a painful syndrome affecting the coccyx (tailbone). It is relatively uncommon, and may have a variety of causes. Pain is typically aggravated by sitting, particularly on hard areas, and can severely affect quality of life. Imaging should be correlated with a detailed medical history, including any therapies previously tried, and a thorough physical exam. Treatment options must be tailored to individual patient needs. Conservative treatments include massage, physical therapy, and medications. Interventional procedures, including ganglion impar blocks, caudal injections, and radiofrequency ablation, have all been used in management of this painful condition. For coccygeal pain that does not respond to conservative therapy, surgical treatment involving coccygectomy is available.

Full textAbstract:
This book brings together an array of leading scholars to engage three critical questions surrounding the current debate over a federal right to education. First, should the United States recognize such a right? The authors of part 1 collectively answer this question as they weigh the arguments for and against. They paint a picture of crippling inequality within our schools—sharing accounts of massive racial and socioeconomic disparities along the way—which compels them to form a nearly unanimous consensus that a federal right to education would reap important benefits for all students. But even assuming this is true, a second question remains as to how the United States could establish such a right. Accordingly, the authors of part 2 explore three different mechanisms for establishing a federal right: implying the right through the Constitution, enacting the right in federal law, or adopting it through a constitutional amendment. Finally, if a federal right to education is recognized, what should it guarantee? The authors of part 3 confront this critical substantive question by weaving novel policy solutions together with evidence-based reforms to present options for ensuring that a federal right to education encompasses the tools and policy levers that are necessary to accomplish the goals that reformers espouse. Their proposals also provide key insights for impactful reforms for state courts interpreting education rights as well state lawmakers seeking to improve educational opportunities and outcomes. In response to these and other fundamental questions about the vast opportunity and achievement gaps of American schoolchildren, this volume builds on the current dialogue—both political and scholarly—that contends that education is the critical civil rights issue of our time.

Over 70% of people in industrialized countries suffer from low back pain at some time, and it is one of the main reasons for visits to physicians. Risk factors include heavy physical work, smoking, stress, depression, and job dissatisfaction. In more than 90% of cases the exact anatomical source of back pain cannot be determined, and the preferred diagnostic label is ‘non-specific low back pain’. Investigation should be restricted to patients with red flags and clinical suspicion of serious disease, with magnetic resonance imaging the best imaging modality for the diagnosis of lumbar disorders. In the absence of red flags, patients with acute low back pain should receive non pharmacological care as first treatment option including reassurance, advise to remain active, massage and spinal manipulation followed by non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants if necessary.

Full textAbstract:
Choice of anaesthetic technique for major burn surgery is determined by the patient’s anatomical and physiologic status and the surgical plan. Burns involving the face and neck can make tracheal intubation by direct laryngoscopy difficult or impossible and require an alternative technique. Cutaneous burns may impair application of monitors such as pulse oximetry and ECG. Vascular access and available blood products should be adequate to resuscitate from massive hemorrhage and treat coagulopathy. Difficult peripheral venous access may require central venous cannulation and arterial cannulation may be required for hemodynamic monitoring. An important goal for intraoperative fluid management is to minimize the amount of crystalloid administered. Fluid replacement of shed blood is complex and requires attention to multiple physiological variables. Burn patients are intolerant of hypothermia and vigorous means are necessary to maintain core temperature. Pain associated with burn surgery is intense and a multimodal plan for its control should be initiated intraoperatively.

Darius III, after the defeat of his forces at the Granicus and the death of Memnon of Rhodes in the following year, prepared a massive army, drawing on the forces from the heart of the empire. The number of troops was disputed, as was the soundness of the Great King’s strategy: should he fight on the open plains of northern Mesopotamia or in the restricted terrain of Cilicia? Greco-Macedonian advisers urged caution, but one of them, Charidemus, allegedly paid with his life for criticizing the king’s strategy and the quality of his troops. Darius III was also derided by the historians (both the contemporary sources and those who based their accounts on them) as inept and cowardly. Inept he may have been, but the charge of cowardice was surely unfounded and based on a misunderstanding of the Persian situation. The stage was set for the Battle of Issus.

The 2000 campaigns focused on experimentation with DCTs. Changes in election laws made collecting contributions online feasible, which became a focus of campaigns. John McCain was savvy at capitalizing on fundraising, establishing the infrastructure to channel enthusiasm into money following key events. George W. Bush built a massive voter file for microtargeting. Steve Forbes constructed an image as the first “Internet candidate,” while Al Gore, who also should have done so, instead used DCTs conservatively. Bill Bradley developed a community involvement kit, a clear indication that campaigns began to see the potential of two-step flow. Yet, campaigns were still generally distrustful of what might happen if they let their supporters genuinely engage with the campaign. As hierarchical organizations with professional and highly paid senior staff who at their gut level—and through their experience know how to campaign—the idea of more citizen-driven efforts in political campaigns was unthinkable.

When World War II broke out, Britain's Foreign Office set up a number of brains trusts which, in co-operation with the east European exile governments, proceeded to formulate plans for reordering central and south-eastern Europe. The planning intensified after the Soviet Union and the United States entered the war. Already the basic consensus was that those states to be reconstituted after Nazi Germany's defeat should have no national minorities — certainly no German minorities — and that this solution could be achieved through a massive transfer of inhabitants. Most political parties in Slovakia demanded autonomy for their country and the formation of an independent Slovak government. In Czechoslovakia's border regions in the early post-war months, there was something of a vacuum when it came to settling the fate of the Germans. Alongside the expulsion of the Germans, far less attention was paid in the Allied states to a concomitant development: the resettlement of the border region with a Czech or Slovak population.

Full textAbstract:
Johal, Moran and Williams outline a complementary strategic policy for business accountability to those of Jones and Cumbers. Criticising unrealistic ideas for state control of an increasingly nebulous and fragmented ‘national economy’, they point to the massive potential relevance of a ‘foundational economy’ of locally-based utilities and service provision. These sectors, which range from the ’para-statal’ outsourced public services into informal sectors, such as family care, employ up to a third of the UK workforce; often as low-paid – and female – workers. These concerns are mainly sheltered from the major pressures of international markets but many depend upon approval and quasi-regulation from public and local authorities; for example local council planning permission for retail establishments. So Johal et al recommend a form of re-embedded social accountability for these sectors, through forms of business licensing that is conditional on meeting key social criteria in community responsibility; e.g. for sourcing, training and payment of living wages. A national ‘constitutional settlement’, involving democratic deliberation and multi-stakeholder participation, should construct this foundational compact.

The Number of administrators and staffers on university campuses has increased so rapidly in recent years that often there is simply not enough work to keep all of them busy. I have spent time in university administrative suites and in the corridors of public agencies. In both settings I am always struck by the fact that so many well-paid individuals have so little to do. To fill their time, administrators engage in a number of make-work activities. They attend meetings and conferences, they organize and attend administrative and staff retreats, and they participate in the strategic planning processes that have become commonplace on many campuses. While these activities are time consuming, their actual contribution to the core research and teaching missions of the university is questionable. Little would be lost if all pending administrative retreats and conferences, as well as four of every five staff meetings (these could be selected at random), were canceled tomorrow. And, as to the ubiquitous campus planning exercises, as we shall see below, the planning process functions mainly to enhance the power of senior managers. The actual plans produced after the investment of thousands of hours of staff time are usually filed away and quickly forgotten. There is, to be sure, one realm in which administrators as-a-class have proven extraordinarily adept. This is the general domain of fund-raising. College and university administrators have built a massive fund-raising apparatus that, every year, collects hundreds of millions of dollars in gifts and bequests mainly, though not exclusively, from alumni whose sense of nostalgia or obligation make them easy marks for fund-raisers’ finely-honed tactics. Even during the depths of the recession in 2009, schools were able to raise money. On the one hand, the donors who give selflessly to their schools deserve to be commended for their beneficence. At the same time, it should still be noted that, as is so often the case in the not-for-profit world, university administrators appropriate much of this money to support—what else?— more administration.

Full textAbstract:
Rotator cuff disorders are one of the most common soft tissue injuries of the musculoskeletal system [1], second only to lower back pain presentations in clinical frequency [2]. Surgical repairs of chronic, massive rotator cuff tears are associated with a high rate of complications, typically by full or partial re-rupture of the repair [3,4]. The literature is replete with clinical retrospective studies or evaluation of cadaveric shoulders [5], however these studies do not address the in vivo healing characteristics of a given surgical repair. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively describe the degree of shoulder healing via biomechanical analyses using an ovine chronic infraspinatus model that was repaired with and without a polyurethane scaffold rotator cuff repair (RCR) patch.

Full textAbstract:
Massive rotator cuff tears are one of the most common shoulder problems among the elderly, leading to pain and disability of the upper extremity. Muscle transfer, which can compensate for some of the deficits, has been advocated as the primary treatment of irreparable massive rotator cuff tears or as a salvage procedure after failed repairs. Latissimus dorsi transfers offer a promising solution in the treatment of irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears, resulting in pain relief and function improvement of patients with the tears. However, the clinical results are variable and the factors which determine outcome are poorly understood. Prior studies have revealed that the functional outcomes of latissimus dorsi transfers were adversely affected if there was a deficit in deltoid and teres minor muscles [1, 2]. For the patient with a deltoid injury, the transfer that follows a failed rotator cuff repair produces less functional improvement than if the transfer is performed as the primary treatment to repair the rotator cuff. It was revealed that the presence of a tear of the teres minor muscle might have some predictive value prior to surgery with regard to motion and function [1], whereas the degree of fatty infiltration also played a critical role after the transfer [2]. Outcomes of muscle transfers have been reported in the literature, but the effects of extrinsic muscle integrity on the functional outcomes in the latissumus dorsi transfer have not been addressed quantitatively. The purpose of this work was to study the effects of the extrinsic muscle integrity on the functional outcomes in the latissumus dorsi transfer using a three-dimensional integrated model of the upper extremity [3]. First, the effects of extrinsic muscle integrity on the preoperative functions of shoulders with massive rotator cuff tears were investigated. Second, these effects on the functional outcomes of muscle transfers were evaluated quantitatively.

Full textAbstract:
Avoiding CO2 emissions while meeting global energy needs is a far greater challenge than most commentators and governments appreciate. Even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has offered no scenario that would stabilize atmospheric levels. The capacity of the oceans to absorb CO2 is limited to about 40% of the level of emissions in 1990. Shared equitably among the present-day world population, per capita emissions of 35% of the current European average would only return the world to 100% of 1990 emission levels. Yet world population will probably grow by 25% by 2050 and, between 1990 and 2007, global emissions increased by 29%. Our current global trajectory is hurtling us toward ever-higher levels, perhaps even disaster. Consequently, near-zero-emitting sources are the only approaches to energy generation that should be deployed. Nuclear power, with its immense energy density, is the only available source that qualifies for widespread deployment. Existing alternative options are not and cannot effectively contribute (see e.g. MacKay, 2008). The weakness in wind is the need for back-up and supplementation, not so much from its short-term fickleness but its seasonal variability. Carbon capture and storage would have to achieve far higher levels of capture than currently seem feasible. Hydroelectricity has limited remaining potential as well as needing careful deployment to avoid collateral emissions. Aggressive conservation and efficiency measures reduce but do not solve the growth in energy demand and usage. Global economic downturns provide temporary relief but huge social political pain, and energy supply security concerns remain unresolved issue for many countries, even today. Of course nuclear alone would face an overwhelming challenge. We shall need to deploy massive improvements in the efficiency with which energy is used. Solar power in various forms has promise and could have a substantial role at lower latitudes in consistently sunny areas though photovoltaic electricity is still a high-cost option. Geothermal and various forms of ocean-derived energy have development potential. However, we argue that worldwide deployment of 5000 to 10 000 nuclear reactors by 2050 is the only clearly accessible pathway to CO2 stabilization that exists today. This will require extension of the resource beyond once-through cycles and so the deployment of advanced reactor types. But it is doable, it is affordable, and our planet must plan to accomplish this deployment.

Full textAbstract:
ÚJV Řež, a.s. as a company with a long term experience in radioactive waste management (RWM) has been running a comprehensive research programme, supporting development of deep geological repository (DGR) in the Czech Republic. Recently ÚJV Řež, a.s. research has focused on the different aspects of safety functions that DGR barriers should provide. Moreover, the research has also recently paid strong attention to real conditions that can be present in DGR (anaerobic reducing conditions, increased T due to heat generation by radioactive waste, contact of different materials within repository, real scale of the rock massive etc.). Both types of experiments, laboratory and in-situ experiments in underground laboratories, were included in the research programme. The presentation gives a brief overview of experimental trends, being conducted for materials and conditions, concerned in Czech repository concept.
