Engagement of Primary Care Providers in Care Coordination for Patients with Complex Medical Conditions

Background: The Seamless Care Optimizing the Patient Experience (SCOPE) project was initiated to increase linkages between primary care physicians (PCPs), hospitals and community resources to improve care for patients with complex chronic disease. This thesis examines the key steps and influencing factors associated with PCPs’ engagement in SCOPE. Methods: A case study design was employed to collect interview data from PCPs identified as ‘early’, ‘mid’, or ‘later’ adopters based on engagement during the first 14 months of SCOPE. Results: Twenty two of 30 eligible PCPs participated. Several engagement factors and differences between adopter groups were identified. Contextual elements such as strained inter-provider relations; feelings of responsibility, isolation and burnout; and the provision of support in a trusting, collaborative manner further influenced PCPs’ engagement. Conclusion: A framework of contextual elements relevant to the engagement process of PCPs in care coordination models, and potentially other practice change initiatives, is presented .
Growth and chlorophyll levels of selected plants with varying photosynthetic pathways (C3, C4 and CAM)

Chlorophyll is the most prominent pigment in plants that participates in the process of photosynthesis. It is an important factor in determining the rate of photosynthesis. Based on the plastochron index, the chlorophyll concentration of the mature leaf was determined in selected plants (Catharanthus roseus (L) G. Don (C3 plant), Andropogon citratus DC (C4 plant) and Bryophyllum bipinnatum (Lam) Oken (CAM plant). The plants were grown in earthen pots (diameter 23 cm) under natural conditions in a net-home. The chlorophyll concentration in Catharanthus roseus (L) G. Don (C3 plants) was found to be more than in Andropogon citratus DC (C4 plant) and Bryophyllum bipinnatum (Lam) Oken (CAM plant). Based on the plastochron index the growth rate of the C3 plant was faster than the C4 and CAM plants. This supports the fact that the C3 plants are more efficient in growth in comparison to the C4 and CAM plants.
Study on qualitative analysis in cosmetic takaout plant by multivariate statistical

This study examines the distributions and behavior of trace elements in five takaout plant samples. Multivariate statistical methods involving principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis are applied. The measurements were performed using 21 elements (Al, B, Ba, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Er, Fe, K, La, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Sc, Sr, Ti, Y, Yb, Zn) at µg g-1 level determined by ICP-OES. The coefficients calculated for samples indicated a poorly negative correlation between the trace elements and Pr. A strong positive correlations among K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, Sr, Ti, Er and Cr show a similarity in their change rules. Also, negative correlations between K and Na with Mn, Zn and Ba were showed, which indicates that these elements haven’t a similarity in their behaviors, the increase of one (K and Na) conducting of decrease of others (Mn, Zn and Ba). The correlation matrix shows that Cr has good consistency with the trace elements in the sample. In particular, the correlation coefficient with Mg followed by Sr, Ca, and Fe correlations. These strong correlations between these variables show the similarity of the phenomena at the origin in takaout plant.
Tics and Tumors, A Case Report of Babesiosis and IgG4 Retroperitoneal Fibrosis

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare fibroinflammatory tumor of the retroperitoneum thought to be due to either idiopathic disease or related to underlying malignancy. Recently idiopathic RPF has been reclassified as an immune mediated IgG-4 related disease. When left unchecked, RPF often progresses, leading to compression of retroperitoneal structures and complete ureteral obstruction. Babesiosis is an intraerythrocytic parasitic disease that has demonstrated an in vitro association with increased IgG-4 levels. Both diseases are insidious, presenting with symptoms commonly identified as a viral prodrome, including malaise and fatigue. Within we present a case of a 68-year-old African American farmer with recent tick exposure who presented with symptoms of malaise, weight loss, elevated creatinine and new retroperitoneal mass. Serum testing revealed recent Babesiosis exposure, and biopsy revealed new onset retroperitoneal fibrosis. Once treated for babesiosis, the patient’s disease ceased its progression, and he remains on treatment with tamoxifen and stable disease. Further research of the in vivo association of babesiosis and IgG-4 related disease is needed.
The Care of Institutionalized Elderly: Principles for Action of Multidisciplinary Team

The increase in the elderly population, in spite of being a conquest, carries with it a series of personal, social and economical consequences. Aging is a natural process that involves a series of losses, among which we can mention the decrease in the ability to withstand the overloads of the environment and not necessarily a synonym for disease. The elderly, with greater or lesser degree of impairment is an individual who needs special care. Such necessity is often supplied by a member of the family, or by professionals hired for this purpose. But, not rarely, a greater demand for care leads the subject to hospitalization in residential institutions for long-term care facilities for the elderly (LTCFe’s). In this perspective, this article of opinion aims discuss and present, from the experience in the development of projects with the elderly population, issues relating to 'act of caring', with particular reference to the institutionalized elderly.
BACTERIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS IN THE GUT OF Cirrhinus cirrhosus AND SCREENING THE EFFECT OF BACTERIOCIN AGAINST COMMON GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIAL PATHOGENS

In the present study focuses, Cirrhinus cirrhosus (mrigal fish) was collected from the freshwater fish cultivation pond and the total heterotrophic bacterial population (THBP), the total lactic acid bacterial density and the amylase, protease and cellulase producing bacterial load in the gastro-intestinal tract were enumerated. In this study quantitative wise, amylase and protease producers were found to be in the first two positions and the last position was acquired by cellulase producing bacteria were also determined. Using selective media, common pathogens and beneficial bacteria were isolated for this study. A total of 10 bacterial isolates were selected and taken for identification up to generic level by morphological and biochemical aspects. Aeromonas sp. , Vibrio sp. , Pseudomonas sp. , Salmonella sp. and Lactobacillus sp. were the identified pathogenic and beneficial bacteria. From this study, the probiotic role of Lactobacillus sp. was checked through cross streaking technique and the presence of antagonistic activity in Lactobacillus sp. against the Aeromonas sp. was confirmed. Production of bacteriocin in the two Lactobacillus sp. isolates was noted and the bacteriocin was found to be effective at pH 8 but not at pH 7 was determined. Finally I concluded from this study, revealed the possibility of using bacteriocin as a food preservative and the Lactobacillus sp. as a probiotic and antibiotic resistance studies revealed the emergence of resistance invariably in all the studied bacterial pathogens against the tested antibiotics and the need for the inclusion of sustainable friendly techniques such as probiotics, immunostimulatns etc. for managing fish health and diseases.

The aim of the study was to ascertain the alcohol consumption patterns of teachers in the Builsa north district and the effects on work performance. Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Data were analysed using SPSS software (version 21.0). Associations determined using Fisher’s exact test. Results: Ninety-nine teachers who consume alcohol were interviewed, with mean age of 33.5±6.1 years. Majority were males (3:1 ratio, p<0.0005). The great majority (83.8%, P<0.0001) were trained; with (66.7%) being University graduates. Approximately 99.0% (P<0.0001) had friends who drink alcohol, and 86 (86.9%) drink alcohol with their friends. Alcohol intake was found to affect a person’s social life (91.9%), family obligations, (97.0%) and finances (93.9%). Approximately 86.9% (P<0.0001) agreed alcohol intake is a problem among teachers. Many (63.6%) of the teachers take in alcohol every day, and approximately 80.8% have been drinking over one year. About 23.2% drink anytime during the day, while 33.0% spending one or hours in a spot. The reasons for alcohol intake among teachers were: socialisation (46.5%), relaxation (31.3%) and to forget problems (21.2%). The negative effects of alcohol intake on productivity were; hangover whiles at work (73.7%), absenteeism (88.9%), missing lessons in school due to time spent at spots (84.9%) and inability to complete syllabus (74.7%). Conclusion: The study concluded that teachers’ alcohol consumption affects their work performance greatly in the Builsa North District.
Role of Computed Tomography in Predicting Severity of Acute Pancreatitis and its Correlation with Clinical Outcome

Introduction: CECT is very accurate and sensitive investigation in evaluating the severity of acute pancreatitis and the associated complications.With the help of CT, we can manage the patient of acute pancreatitis by categorising them into mild, moderate and severe cases according to modified CT severity index and predict the clinical outcome as well. CT mainly detects the associated complication such as sterile or necrotic fluid collection, pseudocyst fomation, walled off necrosis, pleural effusion, liver cirrhosis mainly in chronic alcoholic patients vascular complications at early stage. Aim: To study the role of computed tomography in predicting severity of acute pancreatitis and its correlation with clinical outcome. Material and Methods: The Study was carried out at Department of Radio Diagnosis, Krishna Institute of Medical Science, Karad, Maharashtraamong 46 cases of acute pancreatitis. Result: The mean age of participants in the present study was observed to be 35.95 years. Majority were males (39, 84.78%) and 7 were females (15.22%), with male: female ratio of 1:0.18. The majority of the cases (78.29%) were alcoholic while 10 cases were non alcoholic. Cases associated with Gall stones were21.73% 95.65% cases presented with abdominal pain. Based on Computed Tomography (CT) findings, we found 63% patients with acute interstitial edematous pancreatitis and 37% patients with acute necrotic pancreatitis among 46 cases. When we evaluated Modified CT Severity index among the study cases, we observed that 19.56% cases have mild index, majority (56.52% cases) have moderate index while 23.91% cases have severe index. We also found that majority of percentage of cases clinically cured and discharged i.e. 47.82 %. 19.56% of the total study subjects reported recurrence of episodes of pancreatitis, while 30.43% of the total patients turned into chronic pancreatitis. Conclusion: Computed tomography can be used to know the extent of disease within pancreatic parenchyma and to diagnose associated complications, at early stage.It can assess severity of acute pancreatitis and forecast progress of pancreatitis.
Impact of chemical supplementation on the impairment of sperm parameters induced by sperm immobilizing factor

Infertility, a disease of reproductive system affecting both men and women is defined as the inability of a couple to achieve conception after one year or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse (ZegersHochschild et al., 2009). In the past two decades, infertility has become a major clinical concern, especially in developed countries. The underlying causes may be ascribed to pathologic conditions affecting one or both members of a couple. Factors associated with males that may preclude infertility include genital injury, genital tract obstructions, varicocele, genital malformations, endocrine and metabolic diseases, and allegedly psychiatric conditions. In females, infertility can be due to the factors that are usually divided into endocrine, vaginal, cervical, uterine, tubal and pelvic-peritoneal.

Determinants of Sustainable Performance of SMEs: A Proposed Framework

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a vital role in the sustainable development of a nation. They are the core of an economic system as they provide employment and contribute to GDP. The need for their sustainable performance is therefore important. This paper presents a conceptual framework aimed at investigating the factors that influence the sustainable performance of SMEs. Though, the number of researches that focused on SMEs seem to increase, previous literature reveals there is a dearth of studies exploring the factors that influence SMEs performance from sustainability perspectives, whether conceptual or empirical. Moreover, the findings of the few studies in this area were inconsistent. The study identifies five factors that are necessary and applicable to the sustainable performance of SMEs. The five factors are ethical sensitivity, knowledge sharing intensity, access to ICT, access to finance, and innovativeness. The study suggests an empirical investigation to test the moderating effect of innovativeness on the relationship between ethical sensitivity, knowledge sharing intensity, access to ICT, access to finance, and sustainable performance of SMEs.
Influence of Attitude and Gender on Listening Comprehension of Senior Secondary School Students in Ondo State, Nigeria

Poor performance in comprehension has been an issue attracting the attention of researchers and language educators. Several factors have been adduced to be responsible for this trend. Chief among these are the students’ attitude and gender. A total sample of one hundred and twenty participants were randomly selected and assigned to attitudinal groups. Questionnaires that contained attitude and Listening Comprehension tests were used to collect data which were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that Attitude to listening and gender significantly predicted listening comprehension as female performed better than male participants. Keywords: attitudes, gender, listening performance and comprehension
ON THE FRACTIONAL-ORDER MEMRISTOR MODEL

Fractional order calculus is the general expansion of linear integerorder calculus and is considered as one of the novel topics for modelling dynamical systems in different applications. In this paper, the generalized state equation of the nonlinear two-terminal element which is called memristor is discussed in the fractional-order sense. The effect of the added fractional-order parameter on the memristor characteristics and output behaviour are introduced. The fractional order resistance of the memristor in general for any applied voltage is derived. The generalized formulas and numerical analysis of the step response of the memristor including the instantaneous resistance, startup time and saturation time are studied which will be reduced to the conventional memristor response as α = 1.
Unusual Volumetric Response of Human Red Blood Cells under Low Ionic Strength Conditions

Human red blood cells (RBCs) when suspended in a Low Ionic Strength medium (LIS) demonstrate characteristic triphasic shape changes (morphological response, MR) and become reduced in volume. Tahitian Tabari Noni juice (Tb), after being given during the terminal phase of MR, was shown to initiate an unusual cell response. This response can be described as a volumetric four-phasic response including first a shrinking phase, attributed to the initial sucrose-induced shrinkage during typical MR, a rapid first swelling phase, induced by application of the juice, followed spontaneously by the occurrence of a more prolonged second shrinking phase, which culminated in the swelling and hemolysis of the cells. All the phases of volumetric response can be independently regulated by chloride, DIDS, cations Ca2+, Ag+, Hg2+ or plasma. The second shrinking phase is not inhibited by clotrimazole, a known inhibitor of Gardos channels, and can be replicated by a mixture of two ionophores (valinomycin and CCCP), suggesting the involvement of the putative K+/H+ exchanger as a mechanism of this phase. We suggest that the erythrocyte membrane is equipped with additional molecular systems, poorly characterized at present, that regulate the cell shape and volume. The cell should, therefore, be considered as an “active” responsive system instead of a “passive” osmometer-like structure.
