Hip replacement aims to alleviate hip pain due to the damaged joint and ensure smooth mobility to the extent possible. Physiotherapeutic support after the hip replacement helps inensuring proper rehabilitation and optimum quality of life. This was amply demonstrated in a single case of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in a 31-year-oldwoman. She had been suffering from pain and stiffness in the right hip joint for the last 20 years. She was referredtoa tertiary care hospital where the orthopedic surgeon conducted the hip replacement surgery. A multidisciplinary team including the surgeon, nurse practitioner, and physiotherapist handled the case resulting inan almost normal life for the sufferer.

Journal Area:ABSTRACT:
Global warming and carbon dioxide emissions are critical global challenges that threaten environmental sustainability. This study examines the impact of natural resources, government expenditure, governance, economic growth, industry, population growth, and agricultural emissions on environmental sustainability in Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya in selected East African countries using data from the World Bank Indicators (1990–2023). Governance and environmental sustainability are represented by regulatory quality, the rule of law, and CO2 emissions, respectively. The study employs the Im, Pesaran and Shin and Fisher Panel unit root tests as well as the Kao panel cointegration test. Panel unit roots reveal that all variables are non-stationary at level and stationary at first difference. The study identifies long-run relationships among these variables. The system dynamic panel technique results indicate that CO2 emissions, government expenditure, industry, and population growth contribute to environmental degradation, while natural resources, governance, and economic growth enhance sustainability. These findings suggest that governments in East Africa should strengthen environmental policies, promote green energy adoption, and enhance governance quality to mitigate environmental harm.

The aim of this article is to empirically validate and quantitatively test (using the structural equation method) the theoretical model communicated in an article ( Elhaddouchi & Elkharraz, 2020), and to strengthen the scientific framework of the results obtained (verification of research hypotheses).We have attempted to highlight the perceptions of the main players, belonging to a particular context (the Moroccan education system) concerning the question of the contribution of technology and IS capabilities to the organizational performance of the Moroccan school education system (ES). Principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out using SPSS V 24.0 as a first step in purifying the measures and estimating their validity. The results of this analysis were used as inputs for a test of the measurement models following the LISREL procedure, as well as an examination of the measurement scales through a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) under AMOS 24. We concluded our analysis with a test of the one-dimensionality of the variables retained in our research model. To improve the quality of our measures, a number of items were occasionally removed from the analysis, and both conceptual and statistical justifications were put forward to support our choices.Finally, the results of our hypothesis testing were presented and discussed, and proposals for improving the overall model were developed.

The term neurobiotics has been used with “magical” connotations, pertaining to areas similar as mind reading and amping insensible objects. There's also a connection to the idea that time is relative (in anon-Einsteinian sense) and that life (and jitters) can control time to some extent. These uses are non-standard and presumably not related to scientific use.

Journal Area:ABSTRACT:
Background: Drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are frequently prescribed to treat a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, including erosive esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and duodenal and stomach ulcers. They are now the most effective medications that lower gastric hydrochloric acid output and have been in use for almost 30 years. Sometimes, in certain patient populations, prolonged use of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) has been associated with decreased serum levels of vitamin B12 (cobalamin). According to reports, proton pump inhibitors can harm the intestines and alter the gut microbiota, which can impact a number of processes, such as malabsorption. Long-term PPI use can have a number of negative effects, but the most frequent ones are vitamin and mineral deficiencies, recurrent infections, cardiovascular problems, and bone fractures. Methods: Previously published articles relating to the topic Proton pump inhibitors and Vitamin B12 deficiency was collected and reviewed. Observations: Since continuous PPI medication raises the frequency of vitamin B12 deficiency, particularly in the elderly, the link with vitamin deficiencies has drawn more attention. Conflicting findings were found in a number of investigations that attempted to establish a link between vitamin B12 level and PPI. We thoroughly reviewed observational studies that looked at how long-term PPI side effects affect the absorption of vitamin B12 in this systematic review.
