Abstract:

Context: Work-life balance has become a growing concern in athletic training, but little is known about the experiences of faculty and finding it. Challenges in finding work-life balance have been reported among faculty in higher education, and those who are new to a role are often susceptible to increased stress and overload. Objective: Examine junior athletic training faculty members' experiences with work-life balance during their role inductance. Design: Qualitative inquiry. Setting: Higher education institutions. Patients or Other Participants: Sixteen junior faculty (7 male, 9 female) representing 7 National Athletic Trainers' Association districts participated. The average age of the junior faculty members was 32 ± 3.5 years. Twelve were in tenure track and 4 had non–tenure track positions. Main Outcome Measure(s): All participants completed phone interviews with one researcher following a semistructured interview protocol. Recorded interviews were transcribed and analyzed following a phenomenological approach. We intentionally selected 3 primary measures of trustworthiness to establish the rigor of the study: (1) peer review, (2) multiple-analyst triangulation, and (3) researcher triangulation. Results: Three factors were identified as inhibitors of work-life balance for junior faculty: (1) role inductance, (2) research and teaching, and (3) upcoming deadlines. Two organizational strategies (flexibility and mentorship) and 2 individual strategies (time management and personal outlets) emerged as facilitators for work-life balance. Conclusions: Junior faculty in athletic training can experience conflict in balancing their roles as faculty members as well as their outside and own personal interests. The data support previous literature, and illustrates that organizational factors precipitate imbalance and a combination of organizational and individual strategies promote balance.

Abstract:

Learning Management Systems (LMSs) have been widely adopted in higher education worldwide, but predominately used as repositories of learning materials. Mobile access to LMSs enables greater mobility and flexible learning, and thus may help boosting non-repository uses of LMSs, maximizing their educational affordance. This study examined the extent to which mobile access to an LMS, Moodle, was used for various learning activities, with a focus on those beyond storing and retrieving learning materials, as well as the factors influencing students’ non-repository uses of LMS via mobile access. A mixed-method approach was applied, with survey responses collected from 316 students and interviews with 26 students and five instructors across nine courses in a comprehensive university in Hong Kong. The results showed that mobile access to non-repository uses of Moodle was significantly less frequent than that to repository uses across all courses, and students viewed mobile access to the Moodle platform largely as a backup to supplement computer access. Findings suggested four inter-related factors influencing mobile access to LMS for non-repository uses, including course LMS activity design, instructors’ attitudes towards LMS, the nature of tasks conducted with LMS, and situational contexts.

Abstract:

Painful vaso-occlusive episodes (VOE) constitute the most frequent acute complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). However, despite the high economic and personal burden of hospitalization for VOE, there exists no therapeutic approach for VOE other than pain management and hydration. Hydroxyurea (HU) is frequently used continuously to augment levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in patients with SCD, in association with clinical amelioration. However, in addition to its cytostatic effects, HU has immediate anti-inflammatory effects that inhibit vaso-occlusive processes in the microcirculation of mice with SCD, mediated by stimulation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling (Almeida et al., Blood 120(14):2879, 2012). The Hydroxyurea in the Emergency Room to Lessen Pain in Sickle Cell Crisis (HELPS) study (NCT03062501) was a phase II, single-center, randomized, open-label interventional Study (Phase II) designed to evaluate, primarily, the safety of moderate-to-high daily doses of HU in SCD patients in the acute phase of VOE management. Thirty HbSS patients were included in the study within 24h of VOE onset at the Hemorio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Inclusion criteria were: Arrival at the ER within 8h previous to inclusion, confirmed VOE associated with a pain scale score of > 6 within the last 24h, and a pain score of >4 at the time of inclusion. Patients with baseline neutrophil counts < 3.0 (103mm-3) and platelet (PLT) counts < 90 (103mm-3) were excluded from the study due to concerns regarding myelosuppression. Females not in use of contraception, patients hospitalized for VOE within the last 4 weeks and those that had received transfusions in the last 8 weeks were also excluded. Fifteen patients were randomized to the non-intervention arm to receive the center's standard of care, while 15 were randomized to the intervention arm to receive 30-45 mg/kg HU immediately upon study inclusion, and up to two more daily HU doses (if still hospitalized), plus standard of care. During hospitalization, pain scores were recorded every 6 hours, blood counts, and transaminases were determined at 24 h. Adverse events (CTCAE version 4.03), pain medication administered, and length of stay were recorded. Patients were recalled for a post-VOE visit at 7 days after the last HU dose for evaluation for physical exam, late adverse events, blood counts, and transaminases. Twenty-nine patients concluded the study, with 14 patients in the non-intervention arm and 15 in the intervention arm (aged 31.3±10.1 yrs). Four and three patients in each group (respectively) were on continuous HU therapy upon inclusion, and one patient in the non-intervention arm continued taking HU (20 mg/kg/day) throughout the study. Patients in the intervention arm each received up to three daily administrations of HU (mean dose, 31±5 mg/Kg/day; mean number of doses administered, 1.6 per patient). One patient experienced emesis within 2 h of first dose and did not receive a top-up dose. With regard to preliminary safety data, adverse events did not differ significantly between the arms; 4 grade 1-2 events occurred in each of the groups within 24 h of inclusion (all nausea/emesis) and nausea and/or pain were reported in 5 and 3 patients in the non-intervention and intervention arms, respectively, throughout the study. One serious adverse event (death due to sepsis) occurred in the non-intervention arm. Transaminases, red blood cell count, Hb and hematocrit did not differ significantly between the two arms at 24h after inclusion and at the post VOE consultation (number returning; 13 and 12, respectively). No myelosuppression was seen, but the intervention group had a significant decrease in leukocyte count and an increase in PLT count at 7 days post HU, compared to baseline (WBC; 11.9±4.8, 16.4 ±7.0 x 103mm-3: PLT; 570±275, 428±139 x 103mm-3, P<0.05, respectively). Sample numbers were too small to detect any statistically significant decrease in length of stay, pain scores, or opioid usage. However, data indicate that the use of up to three consecutive daily doses of approximately 30 mg/kg HU in the acute phase of the management of SCD patients with VOE is feasible and safe, independently of whether patients already take HU on a continuous basis. Results will aid in the design of larger multicenter trials to evaluate the potential efficacy of the use of oral or intravenous HU during hospitalization for SCD VOE. Financial Support: FAPESP, Brazil. Disclosures Fertrin: Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: Research Funding. OffLabel Disclosure: Use of up to 3 doses of hydroxyurea (30-45 mg/kg/day) in patients with sickle cell disease hospitalized for acute painful vaso-occlusive episodes.

Abstract:

Nowadays, modern standards apply the proof of competence method to prove that a design force does not exceed a certain limit to ensure a certain safety level. Furthermore, standards elaborated during the last years apply a cycle-based approach instead of a time-based approach. The shortcomings of the standard ISO 16625:2013 need to be addressed in a revision. Therefore, a working group WG3 of ISO/TC 96 SC3 has been established in 2015 to prepare a new working draft ISO/WD 16625. Objectives are to adopt a cycle-based approach and to incorporate proofs of competence for static strength and fatigue strength for running ropes and stationary ropes, based on scientific inputs. The research work about steel wire ropes by the University of Stuttgart and the Technical University of Dresden developed the method Stuttgart and the method Leipzig, both representing regression models to determine the attainable number of bending cycles of a wire rope. The present paper briefly explains the method Leipzig and the method Stuttgart in chapter 3. In chapter 4, the partly implementation of findings from the method Stuttgart to the standard EN 13001-3-2:2014 is discussed and shortcomings are identified. Those shortcomings have also been addressed by the new developed concept of ISO/WD 16625 that is outlined in chapter 5. Finally, chapter 6 provides an overview on the revised ISO/WD 16625 to conclude the current state of the standardization work.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to improve the solubility, bioavailability, and stability of resveratrol (RES-SD) Solid Dispersion in Polygonum cuspidatum extract (PCE) by hot melt extrusion (HME). In addition, the role of the auxiliary substances in PCE was also studied. The solid dispersion of Polygonum cuspidatum extract was prepared by hot-melt extrusion. The optimum formula was selected by single factor design and orthogonal test. The optimum formula was barrel temperature 140 °C, screw rotation speed 40 rpm/min, and the ratio of Polygonum cuspidatum extract to HPMCAS was 1:2. The dissolution test showed that PCE-SD increased the dissolution of RES from 46.75 ± 0.47% to 130.06 ± 0.12%. The pharmacokinetics curve of rats showed that PCE-SD increased AUC0-t of RES from 111,471.22 ± 11.4% to 160,458.968 ± 15.7%, indicating an approximately 1.44-fold increase in absorption. In addition, the rotation speed of PCE-SD screw is less than that of RES-SD screw. The bioavailability of PCE-SD was slightly better than that of RES-SD. PCE-SD is more hygroscopic than RES-SD. PCE-SD increased the solubility and oral bioavailability of RES. The auxiliary substances in Polygonum cuspidatum extract have influence on its preparation technology, stability, and bioavailability.

Abstract:

The study of the reliability and safety of the constructed earth-fill dams and the comparison with their design and calculated data makes it possible to improve the structures and methods of the calculation substantiation of these structures. This work aims to study the filtration reliability and safety of the earth-fill dam of the Channel water reservoir of the Tuyamuyun hydroelectric complex (THC) on the Amu Darya River, which was put into exploitation in 1984. Field studies were carried out according to the traditional method using results of control and measuring equipment (CME) embedded in the body of the dam. The water levels of the upper and lower reaches, piezometers, and drainage water flow were measured. The maximum water levels upstream of 130.00 were observed in July-August and November 2017, and the minimum of 117.50 at the end of March. The water levels downstream depend on the value of the discharge through the hydrosystem. The maximum level downstream for 2017 was 112.55 m (01.06.2017) with a flow rate of 2000 m3/s. The minimum level downstream of 109.15 m was observed on November 29, 2017, when the discharge into the downstream through the hydroelectric complex was 260 m3/s. A tendency to an increase in the level of the bottom downstream was found. Filling and depletion graphs of the Channel water reservoir have been built, from which it is found that they reached 2.00 m/day, and 1.60 m/day, respectively. This is 4 and 1.6 times more than the standard 0.5 m/day and 1.0 m/day. Of the 53 piezometers, 34 are working conditions; the rest do not work, require flushing. Graphs of water level changes in piezometers show that they change with an average 15-20 day delay in the water level in the Channel water reservoir. In general, the natural depression curve is below the design one. The maximum filtration flow rate was 63.3 l/s at a water level in the upper pool of 129.00.

Abstract:

The study examined the nutritional composition and sensory attributes of cookie. In this study, blends of commercial wheat (CWF), yellow maize flours (YMF) and African walnut protein isolate (AWPI) were optimized for cookie production. The cookies were studied in a completely randomized design and assessment of the proximate composition was conducted. The best cookie samples with high protein and fiber, low fat and highest rating in sensory attributes were selected for the determination of vitamins and mineral composition. The result revealed that the control cookie was highest in moisture, fat and carbohydrate but lower in protein, ash and fibre. Enriched cookie 36.69g CWF, 39.57g YMF, 23.74g AWPI and 42.86g CWF, 42.86g YMF, 14.29g AWPI were highest in protein and fibre, respectively while 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI was low in fat. Overall acceptability was highest in control cookie followed by enriched cookie 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI. The vitamin composition of the selected enriched samples show that sample 42.86g CWF, 42.86g YMF, 14.29g AWPI had the highest value of 2.53 mg/100 g in ascorbic acid; sample 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI scored the highest value of 0.14, 0.07 and 1.33 mg /100 g in thiamine, riboflavin and niacin respectively, while sample 36.69g CWF, 39.57g YMF, 23.74g AWPI scored highest in vitamin A (276.67 mg/100g). The cookie sample 36.69g CWF, 39.57g YMF, 23.74g AWPI shows the highest values of 130.00, 0.043, 9.77, 333.33 and 85.00 for calcium, manganese, iron, sodium and phosphorus, respectively. The study recommends the use of flour proportion in sample 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI as an improvement of the nutritional and sensory attributes of enriched cookie.

Abstract:

Menopause is a critical period in a woman's life that not only marks the end of reproductive ability, but it also associated with multiple physical, vasomotor, psychological, and sexual complaints Many of the serious complications that women face during menopause are caused by their own poor lifestyles and their lack of knowledge about self-care. The objective of this study was to assess knowledge and health promoting behavior at menopause among perimenopausal female teachers in Dawadmi City. The study applied cross sectional descriptive design with stratified random sampling used to obtain (348) female teachers statistically calculated from the total 3,708 teachers. A structured closed ended questionnaire was used to collect data consisting of three parts: demographic information, questions to assess knowledge of female teachers about the pre-menopausal symptoms and The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II to measures health-promoting behaviors. 58.9% of the subjects had poor knowledge, 30.7% had moderate knowledge and only 10.3% of teachers had Good and Excellent knowledge levels. Total mean score related to Health Promoting Behaviors was 130.05 ± 27.555 which considered medium in general. In general, socio-demographic variable of female teachers did not show significant correlations by using Pearson Chi-Square test and ANOVA test, also, did not show significant correlations for total knowledge level. Total Behaviors level, which also showed significant correlation with age (F = 1.358, p = .028) and weight during last year (F = 1.303, p = .049) categories. In conclusion, iidentifying the knowledge of women about menopause has an essential role in the development of women’s health during menopausal years. Results suggest that participants do not consistently include health-promoting behaviors into their lifestyle, especially physical activity. Therefore, certain policies should be designed and conducted to promote health behavior. Develop a process to promote worksite wellness programs, and to support behavioral changes intended to promote healthy lifestyles.

Abstract:

Background: Drug craving is a strong and resistant yearn to consume drugs; if not met, his condition would be followed by biopsychological issues, such as fatigue, anxiety, aggression, and depression. This study determined the effects of mindfulness training and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) on drug craving and emotion regulation in clients with substance dependence. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test and a control group design. The research population included all the clients with drug use disorders, referring to midterm substance-dependence treatment centers in Baghmalek City, Iran, in 2018. Using a convenience sampling method, 60 clients with drug use disorders, willing to participate in the project were selected. Accordingly, they were randomly assigned into two experimental groups (mindfulness training & dialectical behavior therapy), and a control group (n=20/group). The research instruments included the Substance Craving Questionnaire-NOW (SCQ-NOW) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). The first experimental group underwent twelve 45-minute weekly sessions of mindfulness training. Besides, the second experimental group received twelve 45-minute weekly sessions of dialectical behavior therapy. The control group received no treatment. Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was applied in SPSS to analyze the obtained data. Results: The Mean±SD post-test scores of drug craving for mindfulness training, dialectical behavior therapy, and control groups were 130.02±8.01, 124.75±7.58, and 212.19±12.32, respectively. The collected results suggested that the provided intervention programs effectively reduced drug craving and improved emotion regulation in the examined clients (P=0.0001). Additionally, there was no significant difference between the effects of mindfulness training and dialectical behavior therapy on drug craving and emotion regulation. Conclusion: In addition to decreasing drug craving, mindfulness training and dialectical behavior therapy can improve emotion regulation in subjects with drug use disorders.

Abstract:

Objective: This study aimed to identify temporal time trends and risk factors associated with mortality for hospitalized older adults with status epilepticus (SE). Design: A retrospective study was performed. Setting: Hospitalized patients were identified utilizing an administrative database—The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 1998 through September 2015. Patients: Patients were older adults 65 years and older with SE. Interventions: No interventions were undertaken. Measurements and Main Results: Demographic, temporal trends, clinical characteristics, and outcome data were abstracted. The results indicated that hospitalized elderly Americans with SE increased over the 11-year study period. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate risk factors associated with mortality in the study cohort. From the weighted sample, 130,109 subjects were included. Overall mortality was 19%. For age subgroups, the mortality was highest for the >85 years age group (24.1%) compared to the 65–75 years (19%) and 75–85 years (23%) age groups. Among investigated etiologies, the three most common causes of SE were acute ischemic stroke (11.2% of total) followed by non-traumatic brain hemorrhage (5.4%) and malignant brain lesions (4.9%). The highest mortality by etiology was noted for acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) (31.5%), non-traumatic brain hemorrhage (31%), and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) (30.1%). Multivariate analysis indicated that non-survivors when compared to survivors were more like to have the following characteristics: older age group, acute TBI, brain neoplasms, non-traumatic brain hemorrhage, AIS and central nervous system (CNS) infections, and utilization of mechanical ventilation. Associated conditions significantly increasing risk of mortality were sodium imbalance, cardiac arrest, anoxic brain injury, pneumonia, and sepsis. Comorbidities associated with increased risk of mortality included valvular heart disease, renal failure, liver disease, and neoplasms. Conclusions: The number of hospitalized elderly Americans with SE increased over the 11-year study period. Overall mortality was 19%, with even higher mortality among various patient subsets. Several demographic and co-morbid factors are associated with increased mortality in this age group.

Abstract:

This is often seen that when the roads are to be repaired or re-tarred the man holes get covered up due increase in height of the road and hence they have to reconstructed to adapt to the height of the road else Misaligned manhole frames in streets often cause driving hazards, failure of pavement around the frames, cause poor access to manholes, may be responsible for inflow and infiltration and can also result in other problems. Because manhole frames are not manufactured to be adjustable, an effort to make repairs is time consuming and often in effective. Thus there is a need to develop an height adjustable manhole system where in manhole system be constructed by casting the manhole by suitable method according to the Indian Standard so as to make the system flexible enough to adjust the height of the manhole as per requirement. The scaled model of the height adjustable manhole will be made and solid modeling using Unigraphix software will be done to determine optimal dimension of gear-shaped parts through bending stress formulas and application Ansys work bench software to validate the strength of the manhole analytically. Fabrication of the scaled model will be done after appropriate selection of the nodular cast iron frame work, for nut and screw parts where as the holder elements will be developed by fabrication. Testing will be done by suitable methods to determine and experimentally validate the strength of the developed part of the manhole.

Abstract:

Background: The purpose of this study is investigating the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction training in reducing post-traumatic stress and its effects at the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic in abused and unattended adolescents in correctional centers. Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest and posttest design in a control group. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all abused and unaccompanied adolescents in correctional centers. The sampling method was convenient, and 30 adolescents were selected based on the inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to two groups of 15 (experimental and control). Withers et al.'s (1993) list of post-traumatic stress disorder was used to collect data. Results: For statistical analysis of data, covariance analysis and independent t-test were used with the help of SPSS software. The results showed a significant difference between the control and experimental groups (P < 0.05) in such a way that the stress reduction training based on stress mindfulness after the accident had a direct and significant effect at the 95% confidence level. Conclusions: Considering that badly-supervised and unsupervised teenagers are a vulnerable segment of society, mindfulness training is a suitable way to reduce future harm.

Abstract:

ABTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the tillering dynamics and population density of Andropogon gayanus cv. Planaltina, submitted to different cutting heights during the dry and rainy season. A randomized block design was adopted in a split plot scheme. In the main plot, the three cutting heights (10, 20, and 30 cm) were allocated, while the subplots included the following periods: dry (October, November, and December) and rainy (April, May, and June). During the dry period at the height of 10 cm, there was a higher population density of tillers, with 1298.44 tillers m-2. The appearance rate was higher in October for heights of 10 and 30 cm and in December for 20 cm. The 10-cm height provided a higher mortality rate. The survival rate and the stability index were higher in October, with 88.47% and 1.38, respectively. In the rainy season, specifically June, the pasture had a higher height (130.06 cm). The rate of appearance and the stability index were higher in April and during June there was greater mortality, while at the 20-cm height, there was less mortality and greater survival (85.71%) of the tillers. The 20-cm cut height provides a higher survival rate and lower mortality rate of andropogon grass in the dry and rainy season.

Abstract:

Abstract Study question Is double stimulation in the same ovarian cycle (DuoStim) a valuable strategy to rescue advanced-maternal-age patients obtaining ≤ 3 blastocysts for chromosomal-testing after conventional stimulation? Summary answer DuoStim is effective to prevent treatment discontinuation thereby increasing the 1-year cumulative-live-birth-rate among advanced-maternal-age patients obtaining 0–3 blastocysts after a first conventional stimulation. What is known already Folliculogenesis is characterized by continuous waves of follicular growth. DuoStim approach exploits these dynamics to conduct two stimulations in a single ovarian cycle and improve the prognosis of advanced-maternal-age and/or reduced-ovarian-reserve women. Independent groups worldwide successfully adopted DuoStim with various regimens reporting similar oocyte/embryo competence after both stimulations. Recently, we have demonstrated the fruitful adoption of DuoStim in patients fulfilling the Bologna criteria, especially because of the prevention of treatment discontinuation. Here we aimed at investigating whether DuoStim can be adopted to rescue poor prognosis patients obtaining 0–3 blastocysts after the conventional approach. Study design, size, duration Proof-of-concept matched case-control study. All patients obtaining 0–3 blastocysts after conventional-stimulation between 2015–2018 were proposed DuoStim. The 143 couples who accepted were matched for maternal age, sperm factor, cumulus-oocyte-complexes and blastocysts obtained after the first stimulation to 143 couples who did not. The primary outcome was the 1-year cumulative-live-birth-rate. If not delivering, the control group had 1 year to undergo a second attempt with conventional-stimulation. All treatments were concluded (live-birth achieved or no euploid left). Participants/materials, setting, methods Only GnRH-antagonist with recombinant-gonadotrophins and agonist trigger stimulation protocols were adopted. All cycles entailed ICSI with ejaculated sperm, blastocyst culture, trophectoderm biopsy, comprehensive-chromosome-testing and vitrified-warmed euploid single-embryo-transfer(s). Cumulative-live-birth-rate was calculated per patient considering both stimulations in the same ovarian cycle (DuoStim group) or up to two stimulations in 1 year (control group). Treatment discontinuation rate in the control group was calculated as patients who did not return for a second stimulation among non-pregnant ones. Main results and the role of chance Among the 286 couples included (41.0±2.9yr;4.9±3.1 cumulus-oocytes-complexes and 0.8±0.9 blastocysts), 126 (63 per group), 98 (49 per group), 52 (26 per group) and 10 (5 per group) obtained 0,1,2 and 3 blastocysts after the first stimulation, respectively. The cumulative-live-birth-rate was 9% in the control group after the first attempt (N = 13/143). Among the 130 non-pregnant patients, only 12 returned within 1-year (165±95days later;discontinuation rate=118/130,91%), and 3 delivered. Thus, the cumulative-live-birth-rate from two stimulations in 1-year was 11% (N = 16/143). In the DuoStim group, the cumulative-live-birth-rate was 24% (N = 35/143; Fisher’s-exact-test< 0.01,power=80%). The odds-ratio of delivering in the DuoStim versus the control group adjusted for all matching criteria was 3.3,95%CI:1.6–7.0,p<0.01. This difference (0%,22%,15% and 20% in the control versus 10%,31%,46% and 40% in the DuoStim group among patients obtaining 0,1,2 and 3 blastocysts at the first stimulation, respectively) is mainly due to treatment discontinuation in the control group (98%,65%,77% and 80% among patients obtaining 0,1,2 and 3 blastocysts at the first stimulation, respectively) and the further increased maternal age at the time of second retrieval (∼6 months). Notably, 2 patients delivered 2 live-births after DuoStim (none in the control) and 14 patients with a live-birth have euploid blastocysts left (2 in the control). Limitations, reasons for caution Randomized-controlled-trials and cost-effectiveness analyses are desirable to confirm these data. Moreover, 75% of the patients included were >39yr and 44% obtained no blastocyst after the first stimulation. Therefore future studies among younger women and/or more women obtaining ≥1 blastocyst are advisable to set reasonable cut-off values to apply this strategy. Wider implications of the findings: A second stimulation in the same ovarian cycle might be envisioned as a rescue strategy for poor IVF outcomes after a first stimulation, so to prevent treatment discontinuation and increase the cumulative-live-birth-rate. This is feasible since 6–7 days span the first and the second stimulation in the DuoStim protocol. Trial registration number none
