An evaluation of the components of compliance in patients with diabetes.

In the past, research directed at understanding patient compliance behavior has generally resulted in findings that were not predictive of compliance or that were at best contradictory. A study of 98 adult patients with diabetes was conducted to investigate some of the variables affecting compliance in that patient population. Compliance and knowledge scores were computed for all 98 patients interviewed. Twelve patients at each extreme of the compliance distribution (no. = 24) were selected for further interviews. Nonparametric analyses were used to test for group differences. Significant differences were found in the mean values for the following variables (mean +/- standard error of the mean for low and high compliers): years diabetic, 5.7 +/- 1.5 and 12.1 +/- 2.4, respectively (p = .05); knowledge scores, 12.2 +/- 1.4 and 20.9 +/- 2.6, respectively (p = .001); and Health Belief Model score, 35.5 +/- 2.6 and 47.2 +/- 1.2, respectively (p = .002). In addition, significant differences were found in the use of home glucose monitoring, which was practiced by 33% of low compliers and 100% of high compliers (p = .002). No significant differences were found between the groups for sex, marital status, employment status, or ethnicity. The patients' perception of health care delivery and the knowledge acquired about the disease condition appeared to be important factors that had a bearing upon the control the patients chose to exert upon their care. There also appears to be some indication that the Health Belief Model can be used for predicting compliance. (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Notre objectif est double : il s’agit, d’une part, d’analyser le discours macronien et, d’autre part, de montrer comment la textometrie permet de repondre a des questionnements linguistiques classiques en corpus, en mobilisant les logiciels hyperbase web et txm.
Popping pills - When to put a full stop?

Background: Dental practitioners regularly prescribe antibiotics for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes to manage oral infections. There are limited indications for the use of systemic antibiotics in dentistry since oral hygiene measures, and operative interventions are the primary treatment modalities. However, inappropriate prescription and excessive antibiotic usage have been identifi ed as major factors in the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Aim: To know the pattern and rationality of antimicrobial prescription by dentists in Nagpur city. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Nagpur city where 200 questionnaires were distributed to dentists which sought answers to the relevance of antibiotic prescription in dentistry. Results: Majority of dentists would prescribe antibiotics for patients with systemic involvement. However, many respondents would consider an antibiotic prescription for acute periapical infection (83%), cellulitis (92%), pericoronitis (87%), routine dental extraction, and for non-specifi c diagnosis, the patient expectation for a prescription, and time constraint of dentists. The study revealed that use of antibiotics is more among specialists as compared to general practitioners. Conclusion: Judicious use of antimicrobials by prescribing the standard drug dosage, and ordering for a culture and sensitivity test should be a priority. These eff orts will reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance and prevent the transformation of microorganisms into deadly strains.
Relações coesivas e estruturais: um estudo de conjunções em córpus paralelo e comparável no par linguístico inglês - português brasileiro

Na interface entre a linguistica de corpus (GRANGER, 2003; NEUMANN, 2005, 2008; JESUS, 2008; HALLIDAY; WEBSTER, 2009), a linguistica sistemico-funcional (MARTIN, ROSE, 2003; HALLIDAY, MATTHIESSEN, 2004, 2014), os estudos descritivos da traducao e a teoria das estruturas retoricas (MANN; THOMPSON, 1987; MATTHIESSEN, 2004), esta tese apresenta um estudo de conjuncoes coesivas e estruturais em corpus paralelo e comparavel. O objetivo foi investigar padroes de ocorrencia a partir 1) da frequencia; 2) de construcoes de significados nos sistemas de CONJUNCAO e de FORMACAO DE COMPLEXOS; 3) da taxe; 4) dos tipos de relacoes retoricas; 5) dos niveis destas relacoes e 6) de suas orientacoes as variaveis do contexto. Extrairam-se dados do Corpus de Lingua Portuguesa em Traducao, um corpus paralelo e comparavel bidirecional no par linguistico ingles-portugues brasileiro, composto por oito tipos de texto: artigo academico, discurso politico, divulgacao cientifica, ficcao, manual de instrucao, propaganda turistica, resenha e website educacional. Foram utilizados o TreeTagger (SCHMID,1994) e o ambiente R respectivamente para anotacao morfossintatica e para extracao de frequencias e aplicacao de testes de significância. Estes permitiram observar o impacto da tipologia linguistica e da variabilidade de registro entre os tipos textuais na frequencia de conjuncoes. Os achados 1) corroboraram integralmente a hipotese acerca da frequencia de conjuncoes acima da esperada em textos argumentativos (NEUMANN, 2008) e parcialmente as hipoteses acerca da frequencia acima da esperada nos textos traduzidos em ambas as linguas e nos textos originais e traduzidos em portugues brasileiro (VIEIRA, 1984; BLUM-KULKA, 1986). Ainda, dados indicaram frequencias significativamente acima e abaixo das esperadas em textos do tipo website educacional, sobretudo nas perspectivas comparaveis mono e bilingues de analise. Em seguida, foram realizadas em subcorpus paralelo e comparavel de textos daquele tipo anotacoes para o escrutinio da gramatica e marcacoes para a analise semântica e contextual das relacoes retoricas. Os resultados da analise gramatical nos textos em ingles apontaram um padrao comum de ocorrencia de conjuncoes estruturais entre oracao principal e dependente e de nao ocorrencia em posicao inicial de oracao dependente. Ja nos textos em portugues brasileiro, os achados revelaram um padrao de nao realizacao de significado de intencao/expectativa pela marca para em relacoes de hipotaxe. Os resultados da analise semântica indicaram um padrao de realizacao da relacao de conjuncao por and nos textos em ingles. Nestes e nos textos em portugues brasileiro, tambem verificou-se um padrao comum de realizacao de relacoes externas no nivel local por marcas coesivas e estruturais. Por fim, a abordagem contextual revelou um padrao de realizacao de relacoes coesivas e estruturais orientadas a variavel campo e ao modo retorico expositivo em todos os textos paralelos e comparaveis do subcorpus.
Processo para aquisição de produtos e serviços de software para administração pública do Estado de Minas Gerais

O trabalho aqui apresentado foi iniciado para atender a uma solicitacao da SEPLAG-MG (Secretaria de Estado de Planejamento e Gestao) de um estudo para orientar a contratacao de produtos e servicos de software por orgaos do Estado de Minas Gerais. Desse modo, o objetivo almejado foi o desenvolvimento de um processo para dar suporte aos orgaos publicos na aquisicao de produtos ou servicos de software. O processo abrange o apoio a geracao dos itens do Edital de licitacao e a orientacao no controle e monitoracao da contratacao e na manutencao do produto adquirido.Como parte da metodologia para desenvolvimento do processo, foi necessario inicialmente determinar como o Estado adquire seus produtos e servicos de software atualmente. Isso foi realizado por meio de entrevistas com os gestores de TI dos orgaos do Estado que mais adquirem. Foi obtido um levantamento das melhores praticas executadas nos orgaos avaliados, analisadas a luz da literatura especializada, e dos principais problemas enfrentados pelos orgaos em um procedimento de aquisicao de software.Alem disso, como uma alternativa para os criterios de selecao de fornecedores utilizados atualmente, foi realizado um mapeamento da maturidade dos processos de desenvolvimento de software das empresas fornecedoras de software do Estado. Na obtencao desse mapa, foi utilizado um questionario baseado no CMMI nivel 2 para o levantamento, a partir de uma amostra representativa, dentre o universo de empresas. Como resultado, ha uma comparacao entre o desempenho geral e por area de processo para as empresas no modelo de maturidade escolhido (CMMI nivel 2), assim como uma comparacao por porte e por area de atuacao.Finalmente, outro resultado importante aqui relatado, foi o desenvolvimento de um processo de Aquisicao de produtos e servicos de TI (PrATIco), que propoe um procedimento para a aquisicao de software no ambiente da Administracao Publica.

Prevalence of depression and its associated factors among medical students of a private medical college in south India

Background: Medical students are repeatedly exposed to a variety of stresses which can lead to development of depression. It is of paramount importance to detect this morbidity at the earliest and take timely corrective actions. This research intends to identify the prevalence, severity and associated factors of depression among the medical students of a private Medical College in Trivandrum. Methods: A cross sectional study was done among a total of 300 MBBS students selected randomly from the 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th year. A self-administered questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), based on PRIME-MD Today, was used to make a provisional diagnosis of depression and its severity. Additional Questions were also included to find out the factors associated with depression. Results: This research found that, out of 300 students, 42% had no depression while 43%, 12% and 3% had mild, moderate and severe depression respectively. Factors such as year of study, presence of financial stress, presence of a romantic partner, participation in extra-curricular activities, substance abuse, family history of depression, family problems and health problems were found to have a significant association with presence of depression (p 0.05). Conclusions: Depression was found to be high among medical students. It has been stated that young doctors should be given the same care and support that we expect them to provide to their patients. Therefore counselling services should be provided at medical colleges for early detection and treatment of depression.
Structuration de données multidimensionnelles : une approche basée instance pour l'exploration de données médicales. (Structuring multidimensional data: Exploring medical data with an instance-based approach)

L'exploitation, a posteriori, des donnees medicales accumulees par les praticiens represente un enjeu majeur pour la recherche clinique comme pour le suivi personnalise du patient. Toutefois les professionnels de sante manquent d'outils adaptes leur permettant d'explorer, comprendre et manipuler aisement leur donnees. Dans ce but, nous proposons un algorithme de structuration d'elements par similarite et representativite. Cette methode permet de regrouper les individus d'un jeu de donnees autour de membres representatifs et generiques aptes a subsumer les elements et resumer les donnees. Cette methode, procedant dimension par dimension avant d'agreger les resultats, est adaptee aux donnees en haute dimension et propose de plus des resultats transparents, interpretables et explicables. Les resultats obtenus favorisent l'analyse exploratoire et le raisonnement par analogie via une navigation de proche en proche : la structure obtenue est en effet similaire a l'organisation des connaissances utilisee par les experts lors du processus decisionnel qu'ils emploient. Nous proposons ensuite un algorithme de detection d'anomalies qui permet de detecter des anomalies complexes et en haute dimensionnalite en analysant des projections sur deux dimensions. Cette approche propose elle aussi des resultats interpretables. Nous evaluons ensuite ces deux algorithmes sur des donnees reelles et simulees dont les elements sont decrits par de nombreuses variables : de quelques dizaines a plusieurs milliers. Nous analysant particulierement les proprietes du graphe resultant de la structuration des elements. Nous decrivons par la suite un outil de pretraitement de donnees medicales ainsi qu'une plateforme web destinee aux medecins. Via cet outil a l'utilisation intuitif nous proposons de structurer de maniere visuelle les elements pour faciliter leur exploration. Ce prototype fournit une aide a la decision et au diagnostique medical en permettant au medecin de naviguer au sein des donnees et d'explorer des patients similaires. Cela peut aussi permettre de verifier des hypotheses cliniques sur une cohorte de patients.
Análisis de publicaciones en redes sociales para empresas utilizando inteligencia artificial

En este paper se presenta una alternativa de solucion basada en inteligencia artificial para simplificar el esfuerzo humano que implica analisis del impacto generado para las empresas por sus publicaciones en sus redes sociales. Este analisis es muy importante ya que la audiencia manifiesta sus opiniones mediante comentarios o respuestas, que se deben procesar uno a uno para conocer su contenido y usarlo en beneficio de la empresa. Este esfuerzo de conocer el contenido de los comentarios o respuestas implica destinar recursos para leer cada comentario y extraer caracteristicas que hagan posible determinar si los comentarios son, por ejemplo, reacciones positivas o reacciones negativas. Con nuestra solucion se puede obtener reportes mas efectivos que con los procedimientos manuales y su creacion demanda menos recursos; generando asi, ahorro de tiempo y dinero a partir de la extraccion de las respuestas a una publicacion en Twitter, a las que se les denomina Tweets mediante tecnicas de web Scraping y generamos un vector caracteristico para cada una de las respuestas mediante Word2Vec y Doc2Vec. Finalmente, para poder realizar analisis de sentimientos usamos modelos de clasificacion estadisticos para determinar si el comentario es positivo o negativo. Esta solucion permitira evaluar la efectividad de las publicaciones de forma automatizada y tomar mejores decisiones sobre como interactuar con la audiencia de la empresa en la red social elegida.

Dysfonctionnement des noyaux gris centraux

Nous rappelons tout d'abord l'organisation anatomique du systeme des ganglions de la base (ou noyaux gris centraux), en mettant l'accent sur leurs caracteristiques macroscopiques, hodologiques et cytologiques et les proprietes de convergence qui en decoulent. Nous examinons ensuite les differents modeles de fonctionnement qui ont ete developpes a partir des annees 80, le modele convergent en 1984, le modele parallele en 1986, le double circuit en 1989, et le modele actuel en 1990, et les critiques de ce dernier a partir de 1993. Nous resumons enfin les modeles recents developpes depuis les annees 90.
A Formula for Correcting Plasma Zinc Levels against Protein Concentration

Plasma zinc and total protein concentrations were measured in 13 normal volunteers, before and after a five-minute occlusion of the antecubital vein with a sphygmomanometer cuff. The percentage increment before and after five minutes of venous occlusion was 10.2 ± 4.7% for total protein and 8.8 ± 6.0% for zinc concentration. Both these differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). We propose an equation for correction of plasma zinc levels according to concentration of total proteins. Using this equation the corrected values of plasma zinc before and after 5 minutes of venous occlusion were similar, that is, 12.33 ± 1.94 and 12.20 ± 2.05 μmol/l. In addition we found that of seven hypoproteinemic patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) who had low plasma zinc levels compared to normal (uncorrected for protein concentration) controls, only two had “true” hypozincemia when their plasma zinc was corrected against protein using this formula and compared to normals (corrected for protein) controls. The paper discusses the clinical usefulness of this adjustment of measurements of plasma zinc concentration.
Isokinetic evaluation of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a free fascia lata graft strengthened by gracilis tendon

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is used to restore knee stability. Objective: To evaluate the functional outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a free fascia lata graft strengthened by gracilis tendon. Methods: 60 patients met the inclusion criteria (age over 16, minimum 1 year follow-up). The isokinetic test on Cybex II consist of a concentric evaluation at 60°/s, 180°/s and 240°/s and an eccentric one at 30°/s. A Satisfaction index, Lysholm-Tegner score and IKDC score completed the evaluation. Results: 55 patients were examined (91.6%), mean age 31 years, 69% of men and a mean follow up of 30 months; only 50 had isokinetic test. 81.8% were really/very satisfied. Mean Lysholm knee score is 96/100 with 93% of excellent and good results; mean Tegner activity level is 7 (8 before ACL injury) with 71% return to their previous sport level. IKDC global score noted 98% of good (22% B grade) and very good (76% A grade) results. In concentric test, 56% of patients have a hamstring muscle strength loss, with a mean deficit of 9% at 60°/s and 8.8% at 180°/s; 76% had a quadriceps strength loss, with a mean deficit of 15% at 60°/s and 11% at 180°/s. The hamstring and quadriceps deficit is around 9% in eccentric test. The ratio hamstring/quadriceps are symmetrical between the treated knee and the healthy one. No significant difference is related. Discussion-Conclusion: These results are in accordance with the principal series in the literature. The agonist-antagonist muscular obtained balance shows a fearly good analytical muscular recovery. The functional outcomes agree with other studies. Thus, this technique of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is reliable, respect extensor system and does not disturb hamstring muscle recovery.
Gestão de bibliotecas universitárias: em foco a compreensão dos aspectos afetivos do comportamento informacional

Trata dos aspectos afetivos do comportamento informacional dos usuarios da Biblioteca do Curso de Fisica (BCF), vinculados ao Programa de Pos-Graduacao em Fisica (PPGFIS), da Universidade Federal do Ceara (UFC). Apresenta, portanto, a seguinte questao norteadora: Quais sentimentos caracterizam as acoes de busca e uso da informacao dos usuarios da BCF, vinculados ao PPGFIS, da UFC? Logo, objetiva compreender como a comunidade em questao se sente no decorrer do desenvolvimento de suas pesquisas. Esta proposta foi fundamentada na perspectiva cognitiva de Carol Kuhlthau, em decorrencia de entendermos que os pensamentos, sentimentos e acoes permeiam intrinsecamente o Processo de Busca da Informacao (PBI). Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho exploratorio e descritivo, de natureza qualitativa, configurando um estudo de caso, cujo campo de pesquisa foi a BCF tendo, portanto, como unidade de analise os usuarios ligados ao programa de pos-graduacao em foco. A amostra compreendeu 09 (nove) professores e 25 (vinte e cinco) estudantes. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi o questionario aplicado via e-mail. A partir do exposto, constatou-se a demonstracao predominante dos sentimentos de confianca, otimismo e satisfacao apontados assiduamente pelos professores e estudantes nos revelando, assim, que ambos estao conscientes das escolhas que favorecem a produtividade e inovacao de seus resultados. Compreendemos, portanto, que a seguranca do que se deseja pesquisar e de como faze-lo, interfere significativamente no contentamento dos docentes e discentes que percebem seus avancos ao passarem de posturas generalistas para especificas e especializadas a medida que seu aprendizado progride.
