Trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad en adultos: caracterización clínica y terapéutica

Objetivo. Actualizar los conocimientos existentes sobre el trastorno por deficit de atencion con hiperactividad (TDAH) en adultos, centrandose en aspectos relativos a la epidemiologia, diagnostico, evolucion y tratamiento. Desarrollo. El reconocimiento de la persistencia del TDAH en la edad adulta es relativamente reciente. A pesar de ello, durante los ultimos anos se han aportado evidencias que sustentan la validez del diagnostico en adultos. La prevalencia del TDAH en la poblacion general adulta se estima en torno al 4%. Mas del 50% de ninos afectados continuaran presentando el trastorno en la edad adulta. Los sintomas del TDAH pueden manifestarse de diferente forma en los adultos, mostrando menor hiperactividad y una leve disminucion de la impulsividad pero manteniendose los sintomas de inatencion. El TDAH en la edad adulta se asocia a graves repercusiones economicas, laborales, academicas, familiares, asi como a accidentes de trafico y a la presencia de otras patologias psiquiatricas (como drogodependencias, trastornos de personalidad y depresion). Conclusiones. Se dispone de diferentes instrumentos psicometricos en espanol para evaluar el TDAH en adultos. El empleo de entrevistas estructuradas, asi como una evaluacion sistematizada de los posibles trastornos comorbidos, facilitaran el correcto diagnostico diferencial. El tratamiento farmacologico en adultos es esencialmente el mismo que en ninos, pero adaptado al peso. Existen ensayos clinicos con psicoestimulantes, destacando el metilfenidato por su eficacia y seguridad. Dentro del grupo de farmacos no estimulantes, la atomoxetina es el mejor estudiado en adultos. Los tratamientos psicologicos cognitivoconductuales se han mostrado eficaces en adultos con TDAH.
Spell checker implementation to analyze the narrative essay of sixth-grade elementary school students in Indonesia

Learning Bahasa Indonesia correctly in terms of writing and reading is needed by students to understand well the language learned in school. Some problems arise when elementary school students still need guidance in writing Indonesian sentences in narratives, that are still lacking the standard or misspelling. Teachers usually read essays from students but it takes a lot for the teacher to learn. This research emerged with the aim of assisting teachers and students in correcting the spelling of the essay that was written so that it would be a perfect and perfect sentence. Applications built using internet technology so students can access the system anywhere. The results show that 87% of students experience spelling errors in writing narrative essay because they are inaccurate to what they write, so the application will provide automatic correction and already implemented in several schools at Malang.
Synthetical Evaluation of Jilin Province Black Soil Structure on the Basis of Gray Fuzzy Clustering Method

According to quantitative study results of soil structure,nine structure indexes of granulometric composition,aggregate and porosity are used to establish structure synthetical evaluation system.Black soil structure is synthetically evaluated by the means of gray fuzzy clustering method and the structure quality grade and fertility situation of Jilin black soil are determined.Results show that soil with moderate-low fertility quality occupies 53% of Jilin black soil,which demonstrates that there is a worse fertility condition of Jilin black soil.It doesn't need to establish classifying standard in soil structure evaluation using gray fuzzy clustering method,and the best clustering analysis can be done according to the actual condition of evaluated objects.It is feasible that structural parameters are used in the evaluation of black soil fertility and degradation.
Implementation of clinical guidelines for requesting family informed consent to deceased organ donation for transplantation: Positive effect on consent rates

This study aimed to analyse the effectiveness of implementation of a clinical guide for requesting family informed consent to deceased organ donation for transplantation at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCSP). From 1st January 2011 to 28th February 2013 there were 52 consecutive brain-dead patients at HSCSP. Fifty-two family interviews took place requesting organ donation for transplantation. In all cases experienced hospital transplant coordination staff performed the family interview. Transplant coordinator case reports are comprehensive records of clinical data and the process of requesting donation in every family interview. Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to describe the main features of the data. Free text items were analysed using content analysis focusing on contributing factors to consent/refusal for organ donation. A retrospective case note review (secondary analysis) was carried out for 52 referrals during this audit period. These were also compared with data from the period of 1994-2010 before the clinical guide was implemented. Percentage difference of family refusal before and after clinical guide implementation was used in the statistical analysis of data. The percentage of family refusals before and after clinical guide implementation was 17.5% (95% confidence interval, 14.7 to 20.3) and 1.9% (95% confidence interval, 0.04 to 10.3), respectively, reaching statistical significance (p=0.001). The implementation by experienced transplant coordination staff of a clinical guide for requesting family consent for deceased organ donation significantly increased consent rates
A study of overcast, partly cloudy and clear skies by global illuminance and its variation features

The diffuse radiance and luminance distribution in the skydome can determine the solar energy on the building envelope in various orientations and under complex obstructions. The diffuse sky is anisotropic for clear and partly cloudy skies, while isotropic for overcast skies. Thus, identifying the sky conditions are essential to the sky radiance and luminance studies. Previously developed approaches using statistic data suffered from data shortage and inaccuracy. Sunlight under cloudy skies may frequently be blocked, causing the high-frequency illuminance fluctuations. The illuminance should variate smoothly under clear skies without clouds. In this work, we studied the horizontal irradiance time series, its variation frequency, and its relationship to the sky conditions determined by the luminance scan. The work contributes to identifying the sky conditions and skylight distributions using the horizontal global daylight illuminance that is measured by the fixed sensors.
Preliminary Result of Hypocenter Relocation Using Double Difference Method along Sumatran Fault, Indonesia

The Sumatran fault zone has a high seismicity and seismic hazard threat levels due to this fracture through densely populated areas. The fault zone of Sumatera has 19 main segments which each segment has the possibility to generate a strong earthquake. Therefore, in this study we attempt to improve the accuracy of hypocenter locations which is needed as basic analysis in advance seismology and in seismic hazard analysis. The final objective of this study is to analyze the subsurface seismic velocity structure of the Sumatran fault by applying seismic tomography method. For the preliminary result, we have been conducting double-difference method to relocate 967 events recorded by 49 stations compiled by Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency of Indonesia (MCGA) from 2009 to 2017 along Sumatran fault. Our preliminary results from the relocation proces indicate prominent features of event cluster around Sumatra fault system. The next step, we will improve the onset of P-and S-wave arrival time by using waveform cross-correlation in order to get more reliable hypocenter location.
Genetic epidemiology and familial risk factors for paratuberculosis seropositivity in beef cattle

Genetic Epidemiology and Familial Risk Factors for Paratuberculosis Seropositivity in Beef Cattle. (December 2007) Jason Barrett Osterstock, B.S., The Ohio State University; D.V.M., The Ohio State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Geoffrey T. Fosgate Paratuberculosis is an intestinal infection of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Genetic associations with paratuberculosis have been described in Holstein cattle. The objectives were to describe the association between paratuberculosis status of the dam and her offspring in beef cattle, develop methods to assess familial aggregation of paratuberculosis in cattle of unknown pedigree, and model the paratuberculosis status of beef cattle given familial and herdlevel covariates. Texas beef cattle were tested for paratuberculosis using serum antibody and microbiologic culture of feces. Available pedigree data were used to confirm familial relationships. The association between the paratuberculosis ELISA status of the dam and her offspring was assessed using mixed-effects models. Increased odds of being classified as a “suspect” or greater based on ELISA results were observed if the dam was classified as a “suspect” or greater. A positive linear association was observed between the ELISA value of the dam and her offspring. Analysis of pedigree data using conditional logistic
The Impact of Personal Digital Assistant Devices on Medication Safety in Primary Care

Abstract : This study determines the impact that use of personal digital assistants (PDAs) has on avoiding potential medication prescribing errors in primary care, office-based practices. the specific aims are to (1) measure the occurrence of prescribing-related errors, (2) determine the extent to which medication prescribing errors may be reduced by physicians having improved access to pharmaceutical information at the point of care via the PDA and use of the PDA as a prescription-printing device, and (3) identify perceived barriers to PDA use and successful strategies to overcome these barriers. A prospective, randomized, controlled trial of 78 physicians was conducted in 31 primary care, office-based practices to determine the impact of PDA use on medication prescribing errors. The intervention group was trained by case simulation to use a PDA-based clinical drug information application at the point of care during the prescribing process, and enter and print prescriptions on a local printer via the PDA. The control group maintained their traditional prescribing practices throughout the study. Qualitative interviews were conducted with the intervention group to identify perceived barriers to PDA use and successful strategies to overcome these barriers. The outcome indicates that voluntary use of the PDA results in substantial reductions in errors of legibility, omissions, and use of abbreviations and symbols. Variation in adoption of the PDA as both a prescribing device and drug information tool was observed. Barriers and successful strategies to overcome the barriers to PDA use are identified. The PDA offers an effective method to bring prescribing safety to primary care, office-based practices.
Equivalent ice thickness in ship ice transit simulations: overview of existing definitions and proposition of an improved one

ABSTRACT Several definitions of equivalent ice thickness for simplification of complex ice cover are found in the literature. However, their systematic analysis is currently absent. Therefore, this paper reviews different definitions and validates them against a high-fidelity ice transit simulator, determining the most accurate one, with an average error of 16% for one analysed ship, and 10.5% for the other. Furthermore, capability of equivalent ice thickness to predict ship besetting in ice is tested, accurately predicting this event in 88% of the cases. Moreover, sensitivity analysis to the parameters not included in the traditional definitions is conducted, and it is found that only the thickness of ridge consolidated layer has significant impact. Finally, traditional concept based on equivalent ice volume is extended, and a concept of equivalent-performance ice thickness is developed, outperforming the traditional approach by reducing the average error to 4.6% for one ship, and to 3.2% for the other.
Learning Experiences That Make a Difference: Findings from a National Study of Doctoral Education in the Professions. ASHE Annual Meeting Paper.

The purpose of this study was to explore and develop baseline understandings of the purposes, character (i.e., cultural, teaching/learning, curricular practices), quality, and outcomes associated with doctoral education in four professional fields of study: clinical psychology, electrical engineering, nursing, and school administration. The analysis is based on 3 programs in each of these 4 fields and interviews with 148 stakeholders (faculty, administrators, students, and alumni). Through these interviews, five teaching and learning practices were identified that, from the perspectives of those interviewed, enrich students' doctoral experiences in ways that contribute meaningfully to learning and development. These areas are: (1) the problematization of professional knowledge and practice; (2) the use of relational teaching and learning throughout the doctoral experience; (3) an emphasis on integrative inquiry; (4) individualized mentoring of students; and (5) student engagement in authentic, research-based discovery activities. Taken together these five teaching and learning practices form a learning environment, a culture, that appears to value collegial and reciprocal engagement among faculty and students in a community of practice.

ChinaCropPhen1km: A high-resolution crop phenological dataset for
three staple crops in China during 2000–2015 based on LAI products

Abstract. Crop phenology provides essential information for land surface phenology dynamics monitoring and modelling, and crop management and production. Most previous studies mainly investigated crop phenology at site scale, however, land surface phenology dynamics monitoring and modelling at a large-scale need a high-resolution spatially explicit information on crop phenology dynamics. In this study, we proposed a method to retrieve 1km-grid crop phenological dataset for three main crops from 2000 to 2015 based on GLASS LAI products. First, we compared three common smoothing methods and chose the most suitable methods for different crops and regions. Then, we developed an optimal filter-based phenology detection (OFP) approach which combined both inflexion- and threshold-based method and detected the key phenological stages of three staple crops at 1km spatial resolution across China. Finally, we established a high resolution gridded-phenology product for three staple crops in China during 2000–2015, named as ChinaCropPhen1km. Compared with the intensive phenological observations from the Agricultural Meteorological Stations of China Meteorological Administration, the dataset had a high accuracy with errors of retrieved phenological date less than 10 days, and represented the spatiotemporal patterns of the observed phenological dynamics at site scale fairly well. The well-validated dataset can be applied for many purposes including improving agricultural system or earth system modelling over a large area.

Caregiving and Place: Combining Geographic Information System (GIS) and Survey Methods to Examine Neighborhood Context and Caregiver Outcomes

Abstract Background Little is known about the impact of neighborhood context on family caregivers, or how environmental factors combine with individual-level caregiver risk factors to affect caregiver outcomes. Objectives To combine Geographic Information System (GIS) and survey methods to examine the effects of caregiver residence in disadvantaged/underserved neighborhoods on caregiver outcomes. Research Design and Methods Telephone surveys with 758 caregivers from the Pittsburgh Regional Caregiver Survey geocoded for classification into Environmental Justice Areas (EJAs) and Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs). We examine the impact of EJA/MUA caregiver residence on care recipient unmet needs for care, caregiver depression and burden, and positive aspects of caregiving, adjusting for sociodemographics, caregiving context, care recipient disability level, caregiving intensity, and additional risk factors. Results There was spatial clustering of caregiver depression and burden outside of the disadvantaged/underserved areas, while positive aspects of caregiving were clustered within EJAs/MUAs. Approximately 36% of caregivers lived in EJAs/MUAs, and they differed, sociodemographically, on caregiver risk factors and caregiver outcomes. Multivariable models showed that caregivers residing in EJAs/MUAs were less likely to be depressed and reported more positive aspects of caregiving after adjusting for known individual-level risk factors. Residence in disadvantaged/underserved areas also modified the effects of several risk factors on caregiver outcomes. Discussion and Implications Caregiver outcomes show interesting spatial patterns. Unexpectedly, caregivers living in these potentially challenging environments were less depressed and reported more gains from caregiving after adjusting for known risk factors. Results suggest that socioeconomic disadvantage does not necessarily translate into poor caregiver outcomes. Understanding the mechanism for these effects is important to designing effective caregiver interventions. The paper also demonstrates the value of using GIS methods to study caregiving.

Regional differences in portion size consumption behaviour: Insights for the global food industry

Given the influence of globalization on consumer food behaviour across the world, the purpose of this paper is to contribute to the theoretical discourse around food portion size as a global consumption-related symbol and its underlying socio-economic drivers for food industry strategy. Overall, 25,000 global food consumers were surveyed across 24 countries to elicit insight on portion size consumption behaviour as well as consumer perception on eating and drinking small portion size within selected socio-economic classes. The data was quantitatively analysed to answer the pertinent research objectives. In 20 out of the 24 global markets surveyed, large food portion size was statistically established as a prevalent consumption-related symbol. The paper found that there are regional differences in portion size food consumption behaviour, and further disparities exist across age, gender and income status in 24 countries covering all regions, including Australia, China, Mexico, South Africa, United Kingdom and United States of America. The outlined food industry implications reveal that adaptation and standardisation strategies are still relevant in global food and nutrition strategy as revealed by the variations in the preference for food portion sizes across various countries of the world.
Targeting the reperfusion injury salvage kinase pathway in the clinical setting

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ischaemic heart disease contributes the largest burden and despite advances in revascularisation therapy significant morbidity and mortality exist in both the elective and emergency treatment setting. Short episodes of sub-lethal ischaemia and reperfusion applied before a period of prolonged ischaemia (preconditioning) and reperfusion stuttered with short episodes of ischaemia (postconditioning) are powerful, endogenous, cardioprotective phenomena which offer the potential to reduce myocardial injury and infarction by as much as 50%. Despite many years of research these mechanical, invasive techniques have not been adopted to routine practice. A pharmacological mimetic, targeting the same protective pathways as pre- and post- conditioning would have great potential in reducing myocardial injury in a number of clinical settings and could be easily administered and adopted to the clinical arena. Chapter 1 of this thesis summarises the research to date in this rapidly evolving field concentrating on two pharmacological conditioning mimetics, atorvastatin and erythropoietin and the clinical assessment of cardioprotection and myocardial salvage. Chapter 2 details the hypotheses to be investigated. Chapter 3 describes two studies undertaken in coronary artery bypass surgery with high dose atorvastatin as a potential cardioprotective agent. Chapter 4 describes a study testing the use of erythropoietin in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction requiring emergency angioplasty and using cardiac magnetic resonance outcome measures. Chapter 5 highlights the difficulties in translating pre-clinical animal studies to the human clinical setting and discusses potential methods to improve this. In summary, this thesis examines the pre-existing research regarding atorvastatin and erythropoietin as cardioprotective agents. Novel clinical studies testing the use of these agents in the settings of coronary artery bypass surgery and acute myocardial infarction are presented. The findings are discussed and reviewed in the context of ongoing advances in the field of cardioprotection.
