Obstructive sleep apnoea in diabetes - assessment and awareness

In 2008, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Taskforce on Epidemiology and Prevention released a consensus statement recommending targeted screening for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes with classic OSA symptoms, and screening for diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia in those with OSA. We conducted a survey to gain a greater understanding of current practice in relation to the IDF recommendations for the assessment of patients in diabetes clinics in the UK. An online survey that was made accessible to diabetes healthcare professionals with the support of the websites of several diabetes organisations was performed. Most (approximately two-thirds) of diabetes healthcare professionals who responded to this survey were not aware of the IDF recommendations either for diabetes screening in OSA patients or for OSA assessment in type 2 diabetes and obesity. Participants indicated that their local diabetes guidelines did not incorporate assessment for OSA in those deemed to be at risk. Furthermore, most participants perceived OSA investigations to be primarily the domain of the respiratory team rather than the diabetes team. The observations from this survey provide a better understanding of the application and impact of the IDF guidance in diabetes clinics.
The effect of crisis resource management training on error in the emergency department: a systematic review

Background Emergency department clinicians confront problems that are often ill defined, rapidly evolving and have severe consequences. The propensity for error is, therefore, significant. Crisis Resource Management training has gained recent attention as a means of improving teamwork and reducing error in the emergency department. Methods A systematic review of the literature was conducted to determine the effectiveness of Crisis Resource Management training in reducing error in the emergency department. The following databases were searched: CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed Central and Google Scholar. Published and unpublished, experimental and quasi-experimental studies were considered. Relevant studies were appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Meta Analysis Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument. Results The literature search yielded a total of 491 published studies. After screening and critical appraisal, two studies were included. The first, a quasi-experimental before and after study, reported an 18 percent decrease in patient safety events following the intervention, which was not significant (p=0.22). The second, a quasiexperimental, non-randomised control, before and after study, reported an 85 percent decrease in observed errors following the intervention. When compared to the control group, however, this was not significant (p=0.140). Due to the number and heterogeneity of the included studies, the results were combined into a narrative synthesis rather than a meta-analysis. The review suffered from publication bias because no unpublished studies were located. Conclusion There is limited evidence that Crisis Resource Management training reduces error in the emergency department. Further research, utilising an experimental or mixed methods design should be carried out to measure the overall effectiveness of Crisis Resource Management training within the emergency department.

Semi-Supervised Deep Neural Network for Network Intrusion Detection

Network security is of vital importance for corporations and institutions. In order to protect valuable computer systems, network data needs to be analyzed so that possible network intrusions can be detected. Supervised machine learning methods achieve high accuracy at classifying network data as normal or malicious, but they require the availability of fully labeled data. The recently developed ladder network, which combines neural networks with unsupervised learning, shows promise in achieving a high accuracy while only requiring a small number of labeled examples. We applied the ladder network to classifying network data using the Third International Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Tools Competition dataset (KDD 1999). Our experiments, show the ladder network was able to achieve similar results compared to supervised classifiers while using a limited number of labeled samples.

Neuvova potilaskertomus – käyttö ja vaikutus potilaan hoitoon

Neuvova potilaskertomus on terveydenhuollon menetelma, joka valittaa nayttoon perustuvaa potilaskohtaista tietoa terveydenhuollon ammattilaisten kayttoon. Potilaskohtaiset neuvot valittyvat ammattilaisen tietokoneen naytolle, kun han kayttaa potilastietojarjestelmaa, johon kliininen paatoksenteon tukijarjestelma on liitetty. Menetelman kaytosta ei ole aikaisempaa tutkimustietoa Suomesta. Kansainvalisten tutkimusten mukaan yksittaisiin hoitosuosituksiin ja preventiiviseen hoitoon kohdistuvat neuvot parantavat hoitoprosessia. Neuvojen soveltamisesta laajemmin potilaan hoitoon perusterveydenhuollon kontekstissa tarvitaan lisaa tutkimustietoa. Tassa tutkimuksessa etsittiin vastausta kysymyksiin, onko neuvova potilaskertomus kayttokelpoinen ja vaikuttava perusterveydenhuollossa ja mitka tekijat vaikuttavat sen kayttoon. Tutkimus eteni vaiheittain soveltaen seka laadullisia etta maarallisia menetelmia. Laakarien fokusryhmissa nousi esille potilastietojarjestelmien kayttoon ja toimintakaytantoihin liittyvia esteita neuvovan potilaskertomuksen kayttoonotolle. Kyselyssa ammattilaiset suhtautuivat myonteisesti hoitosuositusten toteuttamiseen potilaiden hoidossa. Neuvovan potilaskertomuksen ensimmaisen kayttoonoton aikana toteutettiin Sipoon terveyskeskuksessa satunnaistettu koe. Samanaikaisesti kerattiin kayttokokemuksia kyselyin, haastatteluin ja palautejarjestelmalla. Kayttoonotto eteni hitaasti eika kaytto viela vuoden jalkeen ollut vakiintunut. Kayttajat kokivat neuvovan potilaskertomuksen helppokayttoisena, luotettavana ja nopeana. Laakarit kokivat neuvojen tuovan helpotusta tyohon mutta raportoivat niiden kaytossa myos ongelmia. Hoitajat ja fysioterapeutit eivat kokeneet laakehoitoon kohdistuvia neuvoja kayttokelpoisina. He kaipasivat omaan tyohonsa soveltuvia neuvoja. Kokeessa ei havaittu eroa neuvojen ilmaantuvuudessa koe- ja kontrolliryhman valilla 12 kuukauden seuranta-aikana. Tutkimus osoittaa, etta neuvova potilaskertomus on kayttokelpoinen menetelma perusterveydenhuollossa mutta sen vaikutus potilaan hoitoon voidaan saada selville vasta vakiintuneen kayttoonoton jalkeen, kun se toimii ilman teknisia ongelmia ja tuottaa eri ammattilaisten tarpeisiin kohdistettuja neuvoja. Neuvojen kayttokelpoisuus ammattilaisen tyossa on tarkein kayttoa edistava tekija, siksi ammattilaisten antama palaute tulee huomioida jatkokehityksessa. ; An advising patient record is a method by which healthcare professionals get patient-specific evidence at the point of care. A professional can see advice on the screen when he or she uses the electronic health record system, into which a clinical decision support system has been integrated. In Finland, we have no evidence concerning the use of this method. In other countries, single piece of advice in preventive care have been indicated to improve care processes and professionals’ performance. Still, there is no evidence of general use in patients with multiple conditions in primary care. In this study, we were assessing whether the advising patient record works in primary care, and what…
Actinic keratosis prevention – A double-blind, half-face interventional study with a topical treatment

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a chronic and recurrent disease and in this double-blind, half face, placebo controlled study we attempt to examine the efficacy of a topical treatment containing 2,4,6-octatrienoic acid and anthraquinone knipholone for the prevention of new AK lesion formations. New lesion onset was detected with methyl-5-aminolevulinic acid and Wood’s lamp after 6 months of treatment (T1) and 12 months after treatment end (T2). Absence of new lesion at T1, was 86.11% in active treatment side while 77.78% in placebo side. At T2 the percentage was higher in skin treated with active product (83.33% of subjects) compared to placebo (63.89% of subjects). Taking into consideration the number of new lesions during the study period, at T1 the new AK lesions were not statistically significantly influenced by the treatments, while at T2, AK lesions were detected in 30.55% of placebo-treated area while in the contralateral part the lesions were 13.89%. The reduction induced by active treatment was statistically significant.The product containing 2,4,6-octatrienoicienoic acid and anthraquinone knipholone is effective in reducing new AK lesion formation in subjects with a history of AKs.
HOW ERGONOMIC FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO EMPLOYEES’ PERFORMANCE

The objective of this article is to explain how ergonomic factors such as lighting, temperature, noise, and computer’s monitor can contribute to employees’ performance. This study took place in Graduate and Post-graduate Program (Pascasarjana) of Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Brawijaya. Ten informants that work as an employee in the faculty were involved in this research. Using an in-depth interview with those informants, the researcher found that ergonomic factors did contribute to the employee’s performance. We found that a comfortable room with adequate lighting, pleasant temperature, minimum noise, and the appropriate monitor can ensure employees’ comfortability in their workplace, which will also enhance their performance. Most of the employees admit that they already satisfied with what their work has to offer. These findings correlate with six indicators of performance, where quality and quantity were achieved, every job was completed on time, all facilities were able to be utilized, and all employees were able to perform team works to get the job done, without the need of being supervised. We, as a researcher, suggest that every organization should manage their working environment to become as ergonomic as possible, so that their employees may achieve higher performance.
Abstract 13990: Early Clinical Experience of Trans-Catheter Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Extremely Premature Neonates

Introduction: Children born prematurely often have a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Surgical ligation of the PDA is standard when pharmacologic therapy fails. Trans-catheter closure of PDA (TCCPDA) in premature neonates is a relatively new technique. Hypothesis: To describe our early clinical experience of TCCPDA in premature neonates who require positive pressure ventilation (PPV) and to identify risk factors for poor respiratory outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review was performed. A respiratory severity score (RSS) was calculated for all patients. The change in the RSS post-procedure and the time taken for return to pre-procedure RSS were used as outcome variables. Patients with pulmonary artery systolic pressure >50% of the systolic blood pressure were considered to have pulmonary hypertension (PHT). Results: Thirty premature neonates (25.7±2.8 weeks’ gestation, birth weight=756±284 g) that were PPV dependent with or without PHT were referred for TCCPDA at 55.5±32.2 days of age, weighing 1.67±0.54 Kg. Procedures were performed using only femoral venous access under echo and fluoroscopic guidance. The device used for closure included the 4mm Amplatzer Vascular Plug-II (AVP-II) in 10, 6 mm AVP-II in 10, 8mm AVP-II in 3, 4mm AVP-4 in 1 and MVP-5Q device in 6 patients. The procedure and fluoroscopic times were 83.7±56.8 and 12.8±11.6 minutes respectively. The radiation and contrast doses were 52.8±34.2 mGy and 2.8±1.5 mL/Kg respectively. The baseline RSS and QP:QS ratio were 3.9±3.3 and 2.2±0.8 respectively. The presence of PHT was the only predictor for a longer time to return to pre-procedure RSS (18 vs. 87 hours; OR=5.4, 95% CI:2.2-9.4, P Conclusions: It is feasible to perform trans-catheter closure of PDAs in premature neonates. Presence of PHT prolongs the need for PPV after PDA closure.
Operators for Mutation Testing of Python Programs

Mutation testing that supports design of high qua lity test suites of a program. It is based on mutation operators that spe cify small changes intro- duced into a program. Python is an interpreted prog ramming language with dy- namic typing system. In dynamically typed programs, type consistency rules cannot be statically verified. A mutated program ca n be an incompetent mutant that manifests an incorrect behavior at runtime due to violation of typing rules. In this paper we specify a set of mutation operator s that could be applied to Py- thon programs. Most of them correspond to selected operators used in strongly typed general purpose languages, covering structura l and object-oriented muta- tion operators. They were adopted to the Python lan guage. Operators designed for Python features are also discussed. We try to a void operators that generate many incompetent mutants. All operators can be applied before a mutated pro- gram execution and possible incompetent mutants are to be automatically de- tected at runtime.

Respiratory critical care HERMES: a European core syllabus in respiratory critical care medicine

Europe is now referred to as borderless; over 400 million Europeans from 25 countries can travel throughout the European zone without bureaucratic obstacles at internal borders. Moreover, for the economy as well, free movement is central to the success of the single market [1]. From a medical perspective, the unification of Europe has resulted in an increasing number of physicians crossing borders and practicing in different countries. In order to ensure and maintain a high level of healthcare across Europe, the European Union (EU) has displayed its intent to achieve a harmonised definition of medical education and training. The EU adopted a directive (2005/36/EC) dictating the equality of diplomas and medical board certificates within the EU. Despite a number of initiatives such as the “Lifelong Learning Programme: education and training opportunities” for which the ERASMUS (European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students) is a sub-programme aimed at harmonising medical education during the early phases of medical training [2], there is a need to standardise knowledge and skills at later career stages, in order to guarantee and harmonise the quality of patient care in Europe. Respiratory critical care can be defined as part of intensive-care medicine, dealing with specific respiratory problems; or as part of respiratory medicine, specifically dealing with respiratory failure which does not need direct access to general, medical or surgical intensive care units. Throughout Europe, respiratory medicine specialty training includes at different levels of competence, knowledge of treatment of acute respiratory care, noninvasive mechan- ical ventilation, and general principles of intensive care based on the responses of a survey discussed later in this article, critical care medicine is a subspecialty of pulmonology or respiratory medicine in general or internal medicine, and not a specialty of its own. The overall opinion from …
Detection of People Boarding/Alighting a Metropolitan Train using Computer Vision

Pedestrian detection and tracking have seen a major progress in the last two decades. Nevertheless there are always application areas which either require further improvement or that have not been sufficiently explored or where production level performance (accuracy and computing efficiency) has not been demonstrated. One such area is that of pedestrian monitoring and counting in metropolitan railways platforms. In this paper we first present a new partly annotated dataset of a full-size laboratory observation of people boarding and alighting from a public transport vehicle. We then present baseline results for automatic detection of such passengers, based on computer vision, that could open the way to compute variables of interest to traffic engineers and vehicle designers such as counts and flows and how they are related to vehicle and platform layout.
Valuing methadone takeaway doses: The contribution of service-user perspectives to policy and practice

Unlike health policy in the United Kingdom, Australian health policy does not provide a strong endorsement for the involvement of service users in the design, delivery and evaluation of drug treatment services. There has been no research into service-users’ views on the contentious issue of methadone takeaway doses. This study explores the value of takeaway doses from service-users’ perspectives and highlights the contributions that service-user involvement can make to further drug treatment planning, delivery and evaluation. Twenty-five methadone clients were interviewed about the value of methadone takeaway doses. Benefits cited by participants included convenience, less travel and lower costs, protection of confidentiality and less restriction on employment as well as less tangible issues related to feelings of ‘normality’ and flexibility in daily life patterns. Feeling trusted as a methadone client was also an important result of accessing takeaway doses. The inclusion of service-user perspectives is important for ensuring that services are not wrongly targeted and that evaluations of those services do not underestimate or misrepresent their value to clients. This is particularly important in policy around illicit drug use where public and political opinion is often a key driver in decision making.
Who dares wins? Do higher realistic occupational aspirations improve the chances of migrants for access to dual vocational education and training in Germany?

ABSTRACT High educational aspirations are considered to be a crucial factor for educational success and social advancement. As is also the case in many western European countries, migrants in Germany have higher aspirations than non-migrants. Although migrants’ average school performance levels are significantly lower, their greater educational aspirations exert a positive influence on the acquisition of higher educational qualifications. This paper investigates whether higher aspirations are also revealed in respect of Germany’s highly prevalent dual vocational education and training (VET) system and how this affects the transition to dual VET for young people from a migration background. Multivariate analyses using the database of the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) relate to school-leavers in Years 9 and 10 of general schools who aspired to enter dual VET upon completion of schooling. If we control for the main influencing factors, young people from a migrant background are shown to exhibit higher occupational aspirations with regard to dual VET than their counterparts not from a migration background. However, viewed in overall terms, higher occupational aspirations lead to poorer chances of transition to dual VET. This is much more noticeable amongst migrants than amongst non-migrants.
Trends and controls on water-use efficiency of an old-growth coniferous forest in the Pacific Northwest

At the ecosystem scale, water-use efficiency (WUE) is defined broadly as the ratio of carbon assimilated to water evaporated by an ecosystem. WUE is an important aspect of carbon and water cycling and has been used to assess forest ecosystem responses to climate change and rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations. This study investigates the influence of meteorological and radiation variables on forest WUE by analyzing an 18 year (1998–2015) half-hourly time series of carbon and water fluxes measured with the eddy covariance technique in an old-growth conifer forest in the Pacific Northwest, USA. Three different metrics of WUE exhibit an overall increase over the period 1998–2007 mainly due to an increase in gross primary productivity (GPP) and a decrease in evapotranspiration (ET). However, the WUE metrics did not exhibit an increase across the period from 2008 to 2015 due to a greater reduction in GPP relative to ET. The strength of associations among particular meteorological variables and WUE varied with the scale of temporal aggregation used. In general, vapor pressure deficit and air temperature appear to control WUE at half-hourly and daily time scales, whereas atmospheric CO2 concentration was identified as the most important factor controlling monthly WUE. Carbon and water fluxes and the consequent WUE showed a weak correlation to the Standard Precipitation Index, while carbon fluxes were strongly dependent on the combined effect of multiple climate factors. The inferred patterns and controls on forest WUE highlighted have implications for improved understanding and prediction of possible adaptive adjustments of forest physiology in response to climate change and rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
