Patterning and Literacy at the Outset of Kindergarten- Juniper Publishers
Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research Patterning and Literacy at the Outset of Kindergarten- Juniper Publishers Authored by Matthew S Peterson Abstract Kindergarten children are routinely instructed in recognizing repeating patterns. Such instruction may improve their understanding of prealgebra and early literacy. The present research was designed to determine whether there were relations between children’s understanding of patterns and early literacy at the outset of kindergarten, before instruction in recognizing patterns was begun. Accordingly, 492 kindergarten children were assessed with a patterning measure and two measures of early literacy. Significant correlations between scores on these three measures indicate that about 12-16% of a beginning kindergartner’s ability in literacy can be predicted from their understanding of patterns.

Causal Relationship Between Chronic Upper Respiratory Infections and Benign Enlargement of Subarachnoid Spaces- Juniper Publishers
Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research Causal Relationship Between Chronic Upper Respiratory Infections and Benign Enlargement of Subarachnoid Spaces- Juniper Publishers Authored by Reagan Collins Abstract Benign enlargement of subarachnoid spaces (BESS) is a common clinical finding in pediatric patients. Although a few causes have been put forward, the etiology of the enlargement is largely unknown. Both chronic upper respiratory infections (URI’s) and cor pulmonale (by means of increased right atrial pressure) can hinder venous drainage contributing to increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume and elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), thus potentially predisposing a patient to enlargements of their subarachnoid spaces to accommodate for these changes. This study aims to determine if a history of chronic upper respiratory infections and cor pulmonale is correlated to a higher incidence of BESS. Scans and medical records from pat...
The Use of ActiGraft, an Autologous Skin Graft, in the Treatment of Complex Diabetes Foot Ulcer - A Case Study- Juniper Publishers
Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research The Use of ActiGraft, an Autologous Skin Graft, in the Treatment of Complex Diabetes Foot Ulcer - A Case Study- Juniper Publishers Authored by Chinenye Wachuku Meng Abstract Chronic Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a complication associated with many comorbidities that can result in limb amputation and even death. ActiGraft, an autologous blood clot tissue, showed to be effective in cutaneous hard to heal wounds by promoting the natural healing process of the wound. We present a case of an ActiGraft treatment, applied weekly for 3 weeks on a complicated case of DFU exhibiting extensive necrotic tissue, exposed bone, tendons and fascia. Blood was withdrawn from the patient, at the point-of-care, to create a blood clot that was then placed on the wound. ActiGraft treatment showed promotion of extensive granulation covering the exposed bone and tendon, reduction of necrotic tissue, ...
Impact of Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the Isotopic Abundance Ratio of Folic Acid- Juniper Publishers
Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Annals of Reviews & Research Impact of Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the Isotopic Abundance Ratio of Folic Acid- Juniper Publishers Authored by Snehasis Jana Abstract Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is the water-soluble vitamin mainly found in the foods and supplements, which is involved in the synthesis and repair of DNA and RNA, aiding rapid cell division and growth, enhancing the overall brain health, etc. in the body. In this study, the impact of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the structural properties and the isotopic abundance ratio of folic acid was investigated using LC-MS spectroscopy. The test sample folic acid was divided into control and treated parts. Only the treated part received the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi. The chromatographic spectra of both the sample...
Burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs): Prevention is better Than Cure- Juniper Publishers
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF REVIEWS & RESEARCH Abstract Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and tobacco use are the leading modifiable risk factors for NCDs. Unhealthy diet and physical inactivity contributes to obesity. NCDs are now a major public health concern to individual quality of life and longevity. The World Health Organization has set some global strategies giving priorities on increasing surveillance system, improving public awareness and facilitating quality of care for chronic diseased cases to reduce the burden of NCDs. Political commitments to strengthening health systems, effective interventions, sufficient available resources and health equity are required to give more focus on preventive and control measures of non-communicable diseases.
