Adopting Patient Portals in Hospitals: Qualitative Study

Background Theoretical models help to explain or predict the adoption of electronic health (eHealth) technology and illustrate the complexity of the adoption process. These models provide insights into general factors that influence the use of eHealth technology. However, they do not give hospitals much actionable knowledge on how to facilitate the adoption process. Objective Our study aims to provide insights into patient portal adoption processes among patients and hospital staff, including health care professionals (HCPs), managers, and administrative clerks. Studying the experiences and views of stakeholders answers the following question: How can hospitals encourage patients and HCPs to adopt a patient portal? Methods We conducted 22 semistructured individual and group interviews (n=69) in 12 hospitals and four focus groups with members of national and seminational organizations and patient portal suppliers (n=53). Results The effort hospitals put into adopting patient portals can be split into three themes. First, inform patients and HCPs about the portal. This communication strategy has four objectives: users should (1) know about the portal, (2) know how the portal works, (3) know that action on the portal is required, and (4) know where to find help with the portal. Second, embed the patient portal in the daily routine of HCPs and management. This involves three forms of support: (1) hospital policy, (2) management by monitoring the numbers, and (3) a structured implementation strategy that includes all staff of one department. Third, try to adjust the portal to meet patients’ needs to optimize user-friendliness in two ways: (1) use patients’ feedback and (2) focus on optimizing for patients with special needs (eg, low literacy and low digital skills). Conclusions Asking stakeholders what they have learned from their efforts to stimulate patient portal use in hospitals elicited rich insights into the adoption process. These insights are missing in the theoretical models. Therefore, our findings help to translate the relatively abstract factors one finds in theoretical models to the everyday pragmatics of eHealth projects in hospitals.

Multilevel Unilateral Pedicular Screw Fixation with Interbody Fusion in Surgery of Double- and Triple-Segment Lumbar Disc Pathology

Background Data: In double- and triple-segment lumbar disc herniation, a facet hypertrophy is more encountered specially in the same side of disc herniation with subsequent ipsilateral concave curve scoliosis. Lumbar fixation with interbody fusion surgery is a scientific and feasible option. Some authors believe that unilateral pedicle screw fixation can provide similar biomechanical support to the traditional bilateral pedicle screw fixation. Purpose: To assess the strategy of use of unilateral pedicle screw fixation with lumbar interbody fusion in surgical treatment of multilevel (2-3) symptomatic lumbar disc herniation syndromes. Study Design: Retrospective observational analytic study. Patients and Methods: Retrospective evaluation of 216 patients' files who underwent unilateral pedicular screws fixation for management of degenerative lumbar disc pathology, from July 2007 to June 2017. Only 24 patient’s files were selected with multilevel symptomatic lumbar disc prolapse who were managed by unilateral pedicular screw fixation with interbody fusion. All patients were presented with symptoms of nerve root compression. Patients' data included age, gender, levels of disc prolapse, preoperative and postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for back and leg and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for functional outcome, presence of complications, and finally patients’ satisfaction according to Odom’s criteria. VAS and ODI were retrieved preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and 6 months postoperatively. Results: They were 18 males (75%) and 6 females (25%) with a male-to-female ratio of 3:1 and age ranging 35–63 years with a mean age of 49±9.8 years. Double-level disc prolapse was recorded in 20 (83.3%) patients, while it was triple in 4 cases (16.7%). At the last follow-up, back pain VAS improved from 7.5±1.47 to 1.12±1.03, leg pain VAS from 8.7±1.04 to 0.33±0.63, and ODI from 78±8.3 to 11.08±4.6. Excellent and good Odom’s outcomes were reported in 95% of our patients. Conclusion: Our study suggests that unilateral pedicular screw fixation with interbody fusion for the management of multiple level ipsilateral lumbar disc disease could be considered as an effective and less invasive method with satisfying clinical outcomes.

Annexin A6 involvement in the organization of cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains : evidence from cells of the Niemann-Pick type C disease patients and biomimetic lipid monolayers

The Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a lysosomal lipid storage disorder caused by mutations in one of the two genes NPC1 or NPC2 encoding proteins of the late endosome/lysosome compartment (LE/LY). Defect in these proteins alters vesicular transport and leads to abnormal accumulation of cholesterol (Chol) in LE/LY. There are some lines of evidence suggesting that annexin A6 (AnxA6) participates in vesicular transport of Chol and may interact with membrane domains enriched in Chol and bind Chol. In this work we characterized the membrane microdomains resistant to Triton X-100, i.e., detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) isolated from NPC patient-derived fibroblasts and from control cells. NPC cells contain a significantly higher amount of DRMs than the control cells that is consistent with the defect in Chol turnover in NPC cells. We also studied the mechanism of AnxA6 involvement in the NPC-induced changes in the membrane organization and showed that in the presence of calcium some AnxA6 molecules associate with the DRMs. This suggests that AnxA6 may play a role in the membrane lateral organization, contributing thus to the etiology of NPC disease. We then focused on the interaction of AnxA6-1 with Chol-rich membranes and on the involvement of its flexible region and VAAEIL sequence in these interactions. For this purpose, kinetics of the interfacial adsorption of human recombinant AnxA6 to Langmuir monolayers containing phosphatidylcholine, Chol and/or cholesteryl acetate were measured. Our data suggest that AnxA6 exhibits the highest affinity to Chol-containing monolayers and that the hydroxyl group of Chol plays a pivotal role in the AnxA6-lipid interactions in vitro.
ANALISIS FAKTOR - FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN RISIKO KEJADIAN HIPERTENSI PADA USIA DEWASA MUDA DI PUSKEMAS BATANG BERUH KECAMATAN SIDIKALANG KABUPATEN DAIRI TAHUN 2019

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a problem found in society in both developed and developing countries including Indonesia. Hypertension is a condition of increasing systolic blood pressure more than 140 mmHg and diastolic more than 90 mmHg. The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factors for the incidence of hypertension in young adults in Batang Beruh Health Center, Sidikalang District, 2019. This type of research is analytic correlation research with case-control design. The population in this study were hypertensive patients at the age of 18-40 years who went to the Batang Beruh Health Center Sidikalang District as many as 42 people as well as residents aged 18-40 years who were not hypertensive patients who went to the Puskesmas as many as 42 people. The data analysis method used in this study consisted of univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. The results of the study were obtained: there was a correlation between genetic risk factors (p = 0,000), alcohol consumption (p = 0,040), coffee consumption (p = 0,046), smoking (p = 0,001), salt consumption (p = 0,001), physical activity (p = 0,033), food (p = 0.003) and stress (p = 0.000) with the incidence of hypertension in young adults. Risk factors that are dominantly associated with the incidence of hypertension are genetic risk factors (p = 0,000, Exp (B) = 8,159). It is recommended that hypertension sufferers and the public be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle by carrying out a healthy diet, doing physical activities such as exercise regularly and being able to maintain psychology to avoid stress and the health center can socialize healthy life to avoid health problems such as hypertension.
Bigger or faster? Spring and summer tadpole cohorts use different life-history strategies

Temporal variation in environmental conditions is a situation faced by prolonged breeders. Yet, few experimental studies provide evidence that such variation may lead to temporal divergence in life-history strategy. The breeding season of a prolonged breeder, the Indian rice frog Fejervarya limnocharis, is interrupted by a mid-summer drainage between the two rice crops, which separates the breeding population into spring and summer cohorts. We used a common garden experiment to test whether tadpoles of the two cohorts have evolved different metamorphic strategies to cope with different environmental temperatures. In a temperature (low and high) by cohort (spring and summer) factorial experiment, we found both spring and summer tadpoles had greater body growth rates, less weight loss before metamorphosis, and thus potentially higher fitness, when raised under their respective field temperatures. The spring tadpoles responded to low temperature with higher body weight at metamorphosis, while the summer tadpoles did not have such a response. On the other hand, while both spring and summer tadpoles responded to high temperature with accelerated developmental rates, summer tadpoles grew significantly faster than the spring ones. In conclusion, the study shows that spring and summer cohorts of Indian rice frog F. limnocharis use different life-history strategies to obtain higher fitness in their respective thermal environments.
The natural history, non-invasive sampling, activity patterns and population genetic structure of the Bornean banteng Bos javanicus lowi in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo

The banteng (Bos javanicus lowi) is an endangered wild bovid that is endemic to the island of Borneo. Within their last stronghold, the Malaysian state of Sabah, their population is believed to be less than 500 individuals, which are threatened with extinction by habitat loss and hunting. The banteng is highly elusive and rarely seen, and their preference for dense and remote tropical forest habitat makes them a highly challenging species to study. No extensive quantitative surveys have been undertaken in Sabah, and there is little information available to underpin their conservation and management. This thesis provides the first baseline data on the Bornean banteng in Sabah using ecological and molecular techniques. In Chapter 2, I created the first extensive natural history account of the banteng, which will help further the knowledge of this species. This compilation helped identify gaps in the knowledge, which were then addressed by this thesis. In Chapter 3, I test non-invasive survey techniques and individual identification, and estimate the population size in two forest reserves. In Chapter 4, I demonstrate that logged forests undergo dramatic changes in structure and ambient temperature, and that banteng mitigate these changes by altering their behaviour to avoid thermal-stress. Chapter 5 presents new information of the population genetic structure of banteng in four forest reserves in Sabah. Using mitochondrial markers I show that the ancestral lineage of the Bornean banteng reinforces the suggestion that they should be recognised as a separate subspecies to the Burmese and Javan banteng. I also show that the banteng experienced a population expansion following their colonisation of Borneo, and that the present genetic diversity indicates the population may be managed as two geographically-distinct units. Chapter 6 summarises the main findings of this thesis and the implications for the conservation of the Bornean banteng in Sabah.
Detection of Biofilm Production and its Quantification in Candida Isolates in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Introduction: Candida biofilms adversely impact the health of the patients with increasing frequency and severity of disease and with soaring economic sequel. Objective: Qualitative detection of biofilm production and its quantification was performed in Candida isolates from patients infected with health care associated infection (HCAI). Method: A total of 55 Candida isolates were included in the study. Biofilm production was estimated by Tube method (TM) and Tissue culture plate method (TCP). Further quantification of the biofilm produced was performed by XTT (2, 3-bis (2-methoxy4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino) carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide) reduction Assay and Dry weight measurement method. Result: All Candida isolates were found to be biofilm producers by all three (TM, TCP and XTT) methods. Quantity of biofilm produced by C. albicans ranged between 2.3 to 9.1 mg/disk. Among non-albicans Candida Candida tropicalis) it was between 2.2 to 7.3 mg/disk whereas non-albicans Candida (except C. tropicalis) weight of the biofilm was 2.0 to 7.1 mg/disk. Conclusion: Dry weight (DW) is the actual quantity of biofilm produced. Candida albicans produced higher quantity of biofilm than non-albicans Candida in the study. It is also concluded that quantitative detection of biofilm is definitely help clinician in deciding modality of treatment.

Colony growth in the harvested octocoral Pseudopterogorgia acerosa in a Caribbean coral reef

Pseudopterogorgia acerosa is the tallest gorgonian octocoral found in the Caribbean. In the Cartagena area, Colombia, P. acerosa is commonly harvested as raw material for handicrafts, rendering important the study of its growth and population dynamics. Growth measurements of branches from multiple colonies at two different reefs during 1 year revealed that the main growth was due to rapid elongation of the main (‘mother’) branch and production of daughter branches from the same (or just a few) mother branch(es). Some small colonies doubled their original size in a year. The branches’ absolute growth rate was weakly correlated with size, with no significant relationships between branch size and percent growth. While the pinnate branching pattern in P. acerosa is similar to its congeners Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae and Pseudopterogorgia bipinnata, it produces taller colonies due to the faster growth rate in the primordial mother branch. This growth mode seems advantageous as it augments exposure to light and higher fluxes of suspended food in the benthic boundary layer. Post-harvesting, clipped colonies exhibited clear signs of regeneration, even in cases where only the holdfast remained. Pseudopterogorgia acerosa seems to have similar regeneration capabilities respect to other Pseudopterogorgia species, where regenerating colonies may grow faster than intact ones.
A Systematic Review of the Psychological Capital (PsyCap) Research Development: Implementation and Gaps

A systematic review was conducted to investigate the literature on the psychological capital (PsyCap) research development. Four databases (ProQuest, EBSCOhost, Springer and Emerald Insight) were systematically searched to identify relevant articles published between 2008 and 2018. Findings revealed that research on PsyCap within educational organizations is still in its early stage. Most were done using quantitative methods with the emphasis given to the outcomes of the construct. This review highlighted that PsyCap was researched as predictor for a wide range of academic-related outcome such as engagement, motivation, achievement, performance, teachers’ job performance and attitude. This review will contribute to the continuing discussion on PsyCap in educational organization as well as useful to the researchers and policy makers in developing psychological resources within academe. The findings can be used in guiding future research needed to be conducted concerning PsyCap within educational organization by broadening the respondent to beyond teachers and students.

Simple evaluation of wound healing activity of polyherbal formulation of roots of Ageratum conyzoides Linn.

The present study was aim to investigate the possible effect of Ageratum conyzoides root extract on wound healing and is also include a comparable study of effect of polyherbal formulation containing Ageratum conyzoides, Ficus religiosa, Curcuma longa and Tamarindus indica, on wound healing process with respect to intact plant formulation through topical route. The wound healing property of Ageratum conyzoides appears to be due to the presence of its active principles, which accelerates the healing process and confers breaking strength to the healed wound. Further, wound healing activity by polyherbal formulation was found to be better than ageratum treated groups in rat. It may be attributed to the synergistic action of ageratum constituent and the constituent of other plants present in the polyherbal formulation.
Effect of dolomite and sowing rate on plant density, yield and nutritive value of Paspalum atratum

Three experiments were conducted with the perennial pasture grass Paspalum atratum cv. Suerte at Ona, Florida. In Experiment I, Suerte was evaluated in 1992–1993 on a Pomona fine sand for responses to dolomite (0, 1.1, 2.2, 3.4, 4.5 and 6.7 t/ha) and broadcast-sowing rates (5.6, 13.6 and 20.5 kg/ha pure, live seed [PLS]). Dolomite increased soil pH (4.5 + 0.22X, X = t/ha), Suerte density (plants/m 2 = 32.7 + 7.3X − 0.99X 2 ) and mean 42-d forage yield (kg/ha = 2904 + 248.0X − 25.1X 2 ). Dolomite did not affect crude protein (6.1%), but did increase IVOMD (% = 53.6 + 0.65X). A target pH for Suerte should be about 5.0, which was achievable with about 3.0 t/ha dolomite on this sandy Florida soil. Initially, density increased with increasing sowing rate (plants/m 2 = 18.6 + 1.7X, X = >5.6 kg/ ha PLS), but there was no difference in density after 2.5 years (33 plants/m 2 ). In Experiment II, Suerte was broadcast-sown at 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 kg/ha PLS on March 1, May 1, July 1 and September 1, 1995. Average density in the 84-d period after sowing from March and May increased with increasing sowing rates (plants/m 2 = 11.3 + 2.3X, X = >1.5 kg/ha PLS), whereas July and September sowings failed due to flooded soil. Mean yield in June and July 1996 from March and May 1995 sowings increased with increasing sowing rate (kg/ha = 1200 + 240X). When broadcast, seed should be sown at 5–6 kg/ha PLS. In Experiment III, Suerte seed was flooded for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 21 and 28 d, drained, and incubated for 28 d. Suerte seed lost about 2% germination for each day it was flooded.
