Text messaging interventions for reducing alcohol consumption among risky drinkers: systematic review and meta‐analysis

Abstract Background and Aims The global growth of mobile phone use has led to new opportunities for health interventions, including through text messaging. We aimed to estimate the effects of text messaging interventions on alcohol consumption among risky drinkers. Methods Systematic review and meta‐analysis of reports on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English. Searches were conducted on 23 May 2019 in PubMed; PubMed Central; CENTRAL; CDSR; DARE; NHS‐EED; Scopus; PsycINFO; PsycARTICLES; CINAHL; and Web of Science. Measurements included number of episodes of heavy drinking (HED) per month and weekly alcohol consumption (WAC) in grams. Trials among risky drinkers who were not receiving co‐interventions were included in the review (n = 3481, mean age 29 years, 41% female). Data were extracted from reports and authors were contacted for additional data. Results Ten trials were included and all analyses were based on random‐effects models. Primary analyses, including seven trials (n = 2528) for HED and five trials (n = 2236) for WAC, found that the interventions may reduce self‐reported HED [−0.33 episodes per month; 95% confidence interval (CI) = −0.79, 0.12] and WAC (−18.62 g per week; 95% CI = −39.61, 2.38), although both estimates included the null. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) quality of evidence was judged to be low for both HED and WAC, primarily due to risk of attrition and performance bias, heterogeneity and influence of pilot trials on estimates. Conclusions Text messaging alcohol interventions may reduce alcohol consumption compared with no or basic health information; however, there are doubts about the overall quality of the evidence.
Discharge planning considerations for the neonatal intensive care unit

Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge readiness is the primary caregivers’ masterful attainment of technical care skills and knowledge, emotional comfort and confidence with infant care by the time of discharge. NICU discharge preparation is the process of facilitating discharge readiness. Discharge preparation is the process with discharge readiness as the goal. Our previous work described the importance of NICU discharge readiness and strategies for discharge preparation from an American medical system perspective. NICU discharge planning is, however, of international relevance as challenges in relation to hospital discharge are a recurring global theme. In this manuscript, we conceptualise NICU discharge preparation with international perspective.
Evaluation of diagnostic criteria and red flags of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein encephalomyelitis in a clinical routine cohort

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies (MOG‐IgG) have been proposed to define “MOG encephalomyelitis” (MOG‐EM), with published diagnostic and “red flag” criteria. We aimed to evaluate these criteria in a routine clinical setting.
NET formation – mechanisms and how they relate to other cell death pathways

Cell death is an integral part of both infectious and sterile inflammatory reactions. Many cell death pathways cause the dying cell to lyse, thereby amplifying inflammation. A special form of lytic cell death is the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), large structures of chromatin and antimicrobial proteins, which are released by dying neutrophils to capture extracellular pathogens and limit the spread of infections. The molecular mechanisms of NET formation remain incompletely understood. Recent research demonstrated substantial crosstalk between different cell death pathways, most notably between apoptosis, pyroptosis and necroptosis. Here, we review suicidal and vital NET formation and discuss potential crosstalk of their mechanisms of release with other forms of cell death.
Performance of the Xpert® MTB/RIF assay in the rapid diagnosis of tracheobronchial tuberculosis using bronchial washing fluid

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of the Xpert® MTB/RIF (GeneXpert) assay for tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB) using bronchial washing fluid (BWF). Methods This retrospective study enrolled patients suspected of having TBTB and patients with non-TB pulmonary disease as controls. BWF were used to undertake acid-fast bacillus (AFB) smears, the GeneXpert assay and the Lӧwenstein–Jensen (LJ) culture method. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were compared among BWF AFB smears, BWF GeneXpert and the BWF LJ culture method. Results A total of 130 patients with TBTB and 102 patients with non-TB pulmonary disease were enrolled in the study. Sputum AFB smears were positive in 62 of 130 patients (47.7%) with TBTB. Using the clinical diagnosis of TBTB as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of the three methods using BWF were as follows: 93.1%, 99.0%, 99.2% and 91.8% for BWF GeneXpert; 73.1%, 100.0%, 100.0% and 74.5% for BWF LJ cultures; 53.8%, 99.0%, 98.6% and 62.7% for BWF AFB smears. The diagnostic yield of BWF GeneXpert was significantly higher compared with BWF cultures for type III and IV TBTB. Conclusion The Xpert® MTB/RIF assay using BWF exhibited higher sensitivity than bacteriological diagnostic methods and was particularly useful for the early diagnosis of smear-negative TBTB.
Helicobacter pylori is not a contributing factor in gallbladder polyps or gallstones: a case-control matching study of Chinese individuals

Objective To investigate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and gallstones or gallbladder polyps. Methods This retrospective analysis included 27,881 individuals who underwent health examinations that included a H. pylori test and an abdominal ultrasound scan. Patients were divided into four groups: gallbladder polyp (P group), gallstone (S group), gallstone and gallbladder polyp (SP group), and no gallbladder disease (N group). Case–control matching was used to select the participants in the control group. Results The mean ages of participants in the P, S, and SP groups were all significantly higher than the mean age of participants in the N group. The proportions of participants with each type of body mass index significantly differed between the N and P groups, and between the N and S groups. In total 45.7% of participants exhibited H. pylori infection. After case-control matching, the proportion of participants with H. pylori infection did not significantly differ according to the presence or absence of gallbladder polyps. Similar results were observed regarding gallstones, as well as gallstones and gallbladder polyps. Conclusion H. pylori infection might not be related to gallbladder polyps or gallstones.
Strength and Skin Temperature Assessment

The age-related consequence of loss of skeletal muscle strength can be evaluated by handgrip force (HGF) tests. The assessment of this parameter is performed with dynamometers and it is frequently used as a functional indicator of different pathologies. During gripping exercises, physiological alterations occur that can be quantified with infrared thermography (IRT), adding information to an individual’s health status assessment. This work focus on the use of HGF and IRT measurements to evaluate differences among populations of active and institutionalized individuals, and on the identification of correlations between thermal parameters and HGF measurements. The study’s population included 30 active adults and 32 institutionalized individuals. Each performed an established handgrip exercise, mechanically stimulating forearm muscles. IRT images of this body region were recorded during the entire experiment. Three regions of interest (ROIs) were established for thermal image analysis, encompassing the digital flexor muscle region and the wrist ulnar and radial artery zone. Differences between populations were verified for the collected data, showing higher HGF measurements (Maximum force, Average force and Accumulated handgrip work) and elevated skin average temperatures for active adults, when compared to institutionalized participants. Strong correlations between HGF measurements and thermal parameters were also encountered, suggesting its relevance for future research. Thus, the results demonstrate the importance of pairing different types of technologies to increase the range of information and confidence in the results for possible medical applications. Some usages may include the diagnosis, prediction and treatment monitoring of musculoskeletal pathologies, as rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Supervision as the Signature Pedagogy for Counseling Leadership

authors apply the signature pedagogies framework for pedagogical foundations in counselor education put forth by Baltrinic and Wachter Morris (2020) to counseling leadership. Accordingly, we first define counseling leadership and describe the limited literature focused on pedagogical practices related to counseling leadership. Next, we discuss supervision and use the notion of broad and specific features as discussed within Baltrinic and Wachter Morris (2020) to system-atically examine whether there is a signature pedagogy for counseling leadership, and purport how supervision of counseling leadership largely fulfills the criteria. Finally, we discuss how supervision of counseling leadership can be utilized and further expanded, followed by a consideration of the subsequent implications for counseling leadership practice and future research.
Machine Learning Neural Networks Construction and Analysis in Vectorized Design Drawings

Machine Learning, a recently prevalent research domain in data prediction and analysis, has been widely used in a variety of fields. In the design field, especially for architectural design, a machine learning method to learn and generate design data as pixelized images has been developed in previous researches. However, proceeding pixelized image data will cause the problems of precision loss and calculation waste, since the geometric architectural design data is efficiently stored and presented as vectorized CAD files. Thus, in this article, the author developed a specific machine learning neural network to learn and predict design drawings as vectorized data, speeding up the learning and predicting process, while improving the accuracy. First, two necessary geometric tests have been successfully done, which shows the central concept of neural network construct. Then, a design rule prediction model was built to demonstrate the methods to optimize the neural network and data structure. Lastly, a generation model based on human-made design data was constructed, which can be used to predict and generate the bedroom furniture positions by inputting the boundary data of the room, door, and window.
Deep Structure and Evolution of the Carolina Trough: Rifted Margins: Field Investigations of Margin Structure and Stratigraphy

Multichannel seismic-reflection data together with two-dimensional gravity and magnetic models suggest that the crustal structure off North Carolina consists of normal continental crust landward of the Brunswick magnetic anomaly (BMA), rift-stage crust in the 80-km-wide zone between the BMA and the East Coast magnetic anomaly (ECMA), and normal oceanic crust seaward of the ECMA.
CURRENT STATUS AND GENETIC VARIABILITY OF CUCUMBER MOSAIC CUCUMOVIRUS (CMV) ISOLATES INFECTING MAJOR CUCURBITS AND SOLANACEOUS VEGETABLES IN POTHWAR REGION OF PAKISTAN

Cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV), among the most important and devastating pathogens of vegetables, has been reported across the world (Ayo-John and Hughes, 2014). The pathogen causes colossal losses in vegetables especially solanaceous and cucurbit crops (Al-Ali et al., 2013; Akbar et al., 2015). In addition to cultivated vegetable crops, CMV also infects ornamental plants, wild plant species and several weeds belonging to over 100 families (Zitter and Murphy, 2009). The CMV (Cucumovirus; family Bromoviridae) is a non-enveloped, icosahedral virus with 26-35 nm in diameter that has a tripartite positive sense single-stranded RNA genome containing RNA 1 (3.4 kb), RNA 2 (3.0 kb) and RNA 3 (2.2 kb) segments encapsidated in separate particles. Genomic RNA comprised of five open reading frames (ORFs) which perform multiple functions like host specification, symptoms induction, long-distance movement, inter-viral recombination and virulence determination are controlled by ORF 1, 2a and 2b located on RNA 1 and RNA 2. RNA 3 encrypts two proteins of CMV, capsid protein (CP; translated from subgenomic RNA 4) and movement protein (MP), implicated in viral assembly, cell-to-cell movement and aphid transmission (Shi et al., 2008; Nouri et al., 2014; Ohshima et al., 2016). Serological relations and similarities in nucleotide sequences delineate several strains of CMV into subgroups I and II while phylogenetic analyses divide subgroup I into two groups; IA and IB (Jacquemond, 2012). More than 75 species of aphids transmit CMV in nonpersistent manner (Iqbal et al., 2011). Aphids have a wide host range of over 1000 plant species from 101 families including a few monocotyledonous and numerous dicotyledonous plants (Edwardson and Christie, 1991). Important susceptible species include cucurbits, solanaceous crops, cereals, fruits, vegetables and ornamentals (Iqbal et al., 2012). Pak. J. Agri. Sci., Vol. 57(5), 1353-1361; 2020 ISSN (Print) 0552-9034, ISSN (Online) 2076-0906 DOI:10.21162/PAKJAS/20.9773 http://www.pakjas. com.pk
MEDICAL IMAGE ANALYSIS USING MULTI RESOLUTION FUSION TECHNIQUES

: In severe situations like accidents occur, majority of registered cases are for bone or head injury. For proper diagnosis, both CT scan and MRI scan are required to study the damage occurred for skull as well as for the internal organ injury of brain for the development of any brain tumors. If a combination of both images is present in a single image, then diagnosing the patient would be easier. Image Fusion is a method used to combine two input images to generate a combined complementary information contained image. For medical image processing, the resultant image is required to be highly reliable, low cost in terms of storage cost, uncertainty, etc. Also the information in both CT scan and MRI scan must be retained in the fused image for reliable study and assessment for diagnosis. This paper deals with pixel level fusion methods and their generic multiresolution fusion scheme. This scheme utilizes the low pass residuals and high pass residuals to segregate the information of two input images that are to be fused. The linear and nonlinear methods are used to develop the fused image. The fused image is evaluated in terms of fusion metrics such as standard deviation, entropy, fusion mutual information, etc. The methods like laplacian pyramid, ratio pyramid, principal component analysis, average methods prove to be better options for medical image fusion.
Daily Torpor in a Free-ranging Goatsucker, the Common Poorwill (Phalaenoptilus nuttallii)

Numerous laboratory studies show that common poorwills (Caprimulgidae: Phalaenoptilus nuttallii) are capable of entering daily torpor when deprived of food. Using temperature-sensitive radio transmitters, I measured the skin temperature of free-ranging birds under natural conditions to test three hypotheses about the use of torpor by poorwills. I predicted that (1) poorwills would enter torpor only in "energy emergencies" (defined as birds with low body mass), (2) only the nonincubating or brooding member of a pair would use torpor during the breeding season, and (3) poorwills would be less likely to enter torpor on moonlit nights when longer periods of activity can be sustained. My results show that adult poorwills of both sexes enter torpor regularly in April, May, and September, but not during the breeding season. I found no evidence that torpor was used only in energy emergencies or that the lunar cycle influenced the use of torpor. Skin temperatures regularly dropped below 10°C and in one instance fell below 3 C. On one occasion an individual bird remained torpid for at least 36 h. I found limited evidence suggesting that the temperature at twilight, but not insect abundance, can be used to predict whether birds will remain active or enter torpor.

Pulmonary Blood Flow at Rest and during Swimming in the Green Turtle, Chelonia mydas

Miniature pulsed Doppler flow probes were implanted on the left pulmonary artery and left aorta of juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas) to measure the cardiovascular changes associated with intermittent ventilation at rest and its conversion to a continuous pattern during swimming at 0.4 m·s⁻¹. In resting turtles, respiratory frequency, tidal volume, and oxygen uptake were also measured and convection requirements and the oxygen-content difference across the lungs calculated. Respiration-related increases in heart rate and blood flow were most pronounced in resting turtles in which bursts of breaths, rather than single breaths, occurred in ventilatoryperiods. Hypoxia (10% O₂) produced continuous ventilation in resting turtles, and pulmonary blood flow was maintained at a high, steady level Increases in heart rate and both left pulmonary and left aortic blood flow were associated with the sevenfold increase in ventilation frequency observed during swimming. Most of the increase in left pulmonary flow during swimming could be attributed to an increase in cardiac output. However, left pulmonary flow increased more than left aortic flow, which suggests that pulmonary vascular resistance may have decreased during exercise.
