Factors Associated with Self-Reported Drug Allergies in a Large Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria Cohort
Authors: Rauscher Christine , Petrov Andrej A. , Fajt Merritt L.
Published: October 2020

Rationale:

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is characterized by recurrent hives
without a known trigger. While certain drugs are associated with urticaria exacerbations, the overall
drug allergy incidence in CSU is unknown. We hypothesized that the incidence of drug allergy
in CSU would be greater than the general population and that there would be distinguishing clinical
features of drug-allergic CSU patients.

Methods:

362 adult CSU patients seen over a 10-year period at a University Allergy/Asthma clinic
were identified. Patients reported no drug allergies or any drug allergy. Multiple drug allergies
were defined as allergies to ≥ 2 chemically unrelated drugs. Using Chi-square or Wilcoxon analysis,
we compared demographic features of CSU with and without drug allergy and with multiple
vs. single drug allergy.

Results and Discussion:

Overall, 202 CSU patients (56%) reported drug allergy. Drug allergic
CSU patients were older, with a greater proportion of whites and higher BMI vs. CSU without drug
allergy (p=0.002, p=0.047, p=0.004, respectively). Penicillin was the most common drug allergy,
with urticaria the most frequently reported reaction. Female sex, white race, older age at the visit,
and co-existing asthma were more common in multiple drug allergy (n=115) vs. single drug allergy
(p=0.002, p=0.02, p=0.03, p=0.0002, respectively).

Conclusion:

In CSU, the prevalence of self-reported drug allergies was higher than the general population.
Drug allergy is associated with older age, white race and higher BMI, while multiple drug
allergy was also associated with asthma. These CSU sub-populations should be studied to avoid
the potential for morbidity associated with less efficacious and more costly drugs.
Preparation, Characterization and In Vitro Biological Evaluation of Novel Curcumin Derivatives as Cytotoxic and Apoptosis-Inducing Agents
Authors: Arjomandi Omid K. , Almasi Saiedeh , Hosseinzadeh Leila , Kavoosi Mahboubeh , Adibi Hadi
Published: October 2020

Background:

Curcumin is a natural polyphenol and lead compound of the rhizomes of curcuma longa that it has been widely
used for pharmacological activities.

Objective:

In this study, series of novel derivatives of curcumin, which this group was linked to a 2-amino-4-phenylpyran-3-carbonitrile
system, have been synthesized and tested for their antitumor activities in-vitro against a panel of three human cancer cell lines (MCF-7,
A2780, and U-87MG).

Method:

The in-vitro cytotoxic activity of the synthesized compounds was tested on three cancer cell lines (MCF-7, A2780, and U87MG) using MTT colorimetric assay. Meanwhile, the ability of the active compounds to induce apoptosis in cancer cells was
investigated by examination of caspase-3 and caspase-9 and mitochondrial membrane potential assay.

Results:

Under relatively mild conditions in ethanol, the reaction of a series of substrates afforded the corresponding
derivatives of curcumin mostly in good yields (13 analogues, 48-94% yields). Bioassay results indicated
that compounds L6 (para-Bromo), L9 (para-Nitro) and L12 (meta-Methoxy) were the most active members
in this study demonstrating potent activities against A2780 cancer cells and experimental results of fluorescent
staining and flow cytometry analysis revealed that L6 and L9 could induce apoptosis in A2780 cells with
apoptosis ratios of about 40% and 46%, respectively at 24h of treatment at 15.35μM and 23μM in A2780 cells.
On the other hand, they could increase the caspase-3 activity slightly (10%), while having no significant impact
on the activities of caspase-9.

Conclusion:

Those two derivatives could be considered as useful templates for future development to obtain more potent antitumor
agents.

Authors: Abu-Shanab Amer , Zihlif Malek , Rbeihat Momen N. , Shkoukani Zakaria W. , Khamis Alia , Isleem Ula , Dardas Latefa A.
Published: October 2020

Objective:

To explore (a) the risk factors associated with a deficiency of vitamin B12, and (b) the baseline (cutoff)
serum level of vitamin B12 for a clinically-symptomatic deficiency in the Jordanian adult population.

Background:

Compared to the data available for developed countries, there is a marked scarcity of information on the levels
and symptomology of vitamin B12 deficiency in developing countries, particularly in the Middle Eastern region.

Methods:

A total of 485 subjects were included in this study. Blood samples were drawn for biochemical analysis and data
regarding socio-demographics, general health, anthropometric measures, and past medical, surgical, and medication history
were collected. To explore the cut-off point, we compared all parameters included in a standard complete blood count as
well as main symptoms reported to be associated with B12 deficiency between groups of different B12 cut-off values, consisting
of those above and below 200, 175, 150 and 125 pg/ml.

Results:

Dietary habits, age, recurrent headaches, heart burn and peptic ulcer disease were found to be significantly associated
with lower vitamin B12 levels. Surprisingly, daily smoking was associated with significantly higher B12 levels. The results
revealed that none of the included potential indicators of B12 deficiency could be considered an indicative feature of deficiency.
There were no significant differences neither in the symptoms nor in the CBC parameters between any of the tested
study groups.

Conclusion:

Low dietary intake, older ages, recurrent headaches, heartburn and peptic ulcer disease, all could be considered
as a risk factors of having low vitamin B12 levels within the Jordanians. Also, they tend to have lower levels of vitamin B12
levels, in comparison to countries in the West, without necessarily having deficiency symptoms. Cut-off value to diagnose
functional B12 deficiency could be less than 125 pg/ml for the Jordanians. More local studies are needed to establish an accurate
vitamin B12 cut-off value for the population in Jordan.

From the centre to periphery: The Middle Eastern impacts on Islamic education in Indonesia
Authors: ZTF Pradana Boy
Published: October 2020

This paper traces Middle Eastern elements in Islamic education in Indonesia by looking at their institutions, curricula, method of teaching, orientations, and Islamic ideological transmission. The information on values and impacts of Indonesian and Middle Eastern Islam takes a one-way traffic pattern in general terms. The dynamics of Islam in Middle Eastern regions will fundamentally affect the practice and dynamic of Islam in Indonesia. This paper maps out Middle Eastern components' influence on the course of education run by these two largest Islamic organizations in Indonesia, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama'. However, following the New Order's fall, many Islamic groups emerged; education offered by these new groups and orientations is also worthy of evaluation. In the modernist group, the idea and practice of Islamic reform, which constitutes one of its significant agendas, mostly echoed the similar and earlier movements in the Middle East. Similarly, traditionalist groups are often described as the revivers of more locally-rooted Islamic practice, and therefore, they tend to blend local and Middle Eastern elements within their religious way.
Promoting and practicing religious pluralism: Muhammadiyah experience
Authors: Biyanto Biyanto
Published: October 2020

This article aims to discuss about the experiences of Muhammadiyah in promoting and practicing values of religious pluralism in Indonesia. As one of the biggest modern Islamic organization in the world Muhammadiyah showed to take action in promoting values of religious pluralism. It was showed by education, preaching, social welfare, inter-faith dialogue and peace, and across culture, ethnic, and religious programs. For example, Muhammadiyah formed many schools and universities at all provinces in Indonesia. The network of Muhammadiyah’s schools and universities through in districts, in fact at villages. By education, Muhammadiyah taught and practiced values of religious pluralism. It was showed, particularly, by Muhammadiyah’s schools and universities at Muslim minority provinces. Province of Papua, West Papua, and East Nusa Tenggara, for example, percentage non-Muslim students and teacher at Muhammadiyah’s schools and universities through 75%-90%. Muhammadiyah also invited non-Muslim teachers to teach religion. Muhammadiyah gave freedom for every student to practice his religious teaching. By preaching, Muhammadiyah gave an emphasis that the diversity or plurality in the human life patterns is God’s wish and a scientific fact (natural of law, sunnatullah). Therefor everyone must celebrate and respect to diversity or plurality. Until now Muhammadiyah still active inter-faith dialogue and peace with religious leaders in Indonesia, even in the world. Muhammadiyah also does programs to against terrorism. The leaders of Muhammadiyah also involved peace building programs ini the world. Promoting values of religious pluralism by Muhammadiyah is very important because Indonesia is a multicultural state in ethnic, culture, and religion.
Machine Learning–Based Screening of Healthy Meals From Image Analysis: System Development and Pilot Study
Authors: Sudo Kyoko , Murasaki Kazuhiko , Kinebuchi Tetsuya , Kimura Shigeko , Waki Kayo
Published: October 2020

Background

Recent research has led to the development of many information technology–supported systems for health care control, including systems estimating nutrition from images of meals. Systems that capture data about eating and exercise are useful for people with diabetes as well as for people who are simply on a diet. Continuous monitoring is key to effective dietary control, requiring systems that are simple to use and motivate users to pay attention to their meals. Unfortunately, most current systems are complex or fail to motivate. Such systems require some manual inputs such as selection of an icon or image, or by inputting the category of the user’s food. The nutrition information fed back to users is not especially helpful, as only the estimated detailed nutritional values contained in the meal are typically provided.

Objective

In this paper, we introduce healthiness of meals as a more useful and meaningful general standard, and present a novel algorithm that can estimate healthiness from meal images without requiring manual inputs.

Methods

We propose a system that estimates meal healthiness using a deep neural network that extracts features and a ranking network that learns the relationship between the degrees of healthiness of a meal using a dataset prepared by a human dietary expert. First, we examined whether a registered dietitian can judge the healthiness of meals solely by viewing meal images using a small dataset (100 meals). We then generated ranking data based on comparisons of sets of meal images (850 meals) by a registered dietitian’s viewing meal images and trained a ranking network. Finally, we estimated each meal’s healthiness score to detect unhealthy meals.

Results

The ranking estimated by the proposed network and the ranking of healthiness based on the dietitian’s judgment were correlated (correlation coefficient 0.72). In addition, extracting network features through pretraining with a publicly available large meal dataset enabled overcoming the limited availability of specific healthiness data.

Conclusions

We have presented an image-based system that can rank meals in terms of the overall healthiness of the dishes constituting the meal. The ranking obtained by the proposed method showed a good correlation to nutritional value–based ranking by a dietitian. We then proposed a network that allows conditions that are important for judging the meal image, extracting features that eliminate background information and are independent of location. Under these conditions, the experimental results showed that our network achieves higher accuracy of healthiness ranking estimation than the conventional image ranking method. The results of this experiment in detecting unhealthy meals suggest that our system can be used to assist health care workers in establishing meal plans for patients with diabetes who need advice in choosing healthy meals.
Health Perceptions and Misconceptions Regarding COVID-19 in China: Online Survey Study
Authors: Zhou Jiawei , Ghose Bishwajit , Wang Ruoxi , Wu Ruijun , Li Zhifei , Huang Rui , Feng Da , Feng Zhanchun , Tang Shangfeng
Published: October 2020

Background

Great efforts have been made to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including national initiatives to promote the change of personal behaviors. The lessons learned from the 2003 SARS outbreak indicate that knowledge and attitudes about infectious diseases are related to panic among the population, which may further complicate efforts to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Misunderstandings may result in behaviors such as underestimation, panic, and taking ineffective measures to avoid infection; these behaviors are likely to cause the epidemic to spread further.

Objective

The purpose of this study is to assess public health perceptions and misunderstandings about COVID-19 in China, and to propose targeted response measures based on the findings to control the development of the epidemic.

Methods

The study was conducted in April 2020 through an online survey, with participants in 8 provinces in Eastern, Central, and Western China. We designed a questionnaire with a health knowledge section consisting of 5 questions (4 conventional questions and 1 misleading question) on clinical features of and preventive measures against COVID-19. Descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis, binary logistic regression, and Mantel-Haenszel hierarchical analysis were used for statistical analysis.

Results

In total, 4788 participants completed the survey and the mean knowledge score was 4.63 (SD 0.67), gained mainly through experts (76.1%), television (60.0%), newspapers (57.9%), and opinions (46.6%) and videos (42.9%) from social media. Compared to those who obtained information from only 1 or 2 channels, people who obtained information from >3 channels had increased health perception and a better ability to identify misleading information. Suggestions from experts were the most positive information source (χ2=41.61), while information on social media was the most misleading. Those aged >60 years (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.10-2.11), those with a lower or middle income (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.00-1.83), those not working and not able to work (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.04-3.21), those with a household income <100,000 RMB (2 suspected symptoms (OR 2.95, 95% CI 1.50-5.80) were more likely to be misled by videos on social media, but the error correction effect of expert advice was limited in these groups.

Conclusions

Multiple information channels can improve public health perception and the identification of misleading information during the COVID-19 pandemic. Videos on social media increased the risk of rumor propagation among vulnerable groups. We suggest the government should strengthen social media regulation and increase experts’ influence on the targeted vulnerable populations to reduce the risk of rumors spreading.
Impact of Remote Consultations on Antibiotic Prescribing in Primary Health Care: Systematic Review
Authors: Han Seung Min , Greenfield Geva , Majeed Azeem , Hayhoe Benedict
Published: October 2020

Background

There has been growing international interest in performing remote consultations in primary care, particularly amidst the current COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, the evidence surrounding the safety of remote consultations is inconclusive. The appropriateness of antibiotic prescribing in remote consultations is an important aspect of patient safety that needs to be addressed.

Objective

This study aimed to summarize evidence on the impact of remote consultation in primary care with regard to antibiotic prescribing.

Methods

Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, HMIC, PsycINFO, and CINAHL for literature published since the databases’ inception to February 2020. Peer-reviewed studies conducted in primary health care settings were included. All remote consultation types were considered, and studies were required to report any quantitative measure of antibiotic prescribing to be included in this systematic review. Studies were excluded if there were no comparison groups (face-to-face consultations).

Results

In total, 12 studies were identified. Of these, 4 studies reported higher antibiotic-prescribing rates, 5 studies reported lower antibiotic-prescribing rates, and 3 studies reported similar antibiotic-prescribing rates in remote consultations compared with face-to-face consultations. Guideline-concordant prescribing was not significantly different between remote and face-to-face consultations for patients with sinusitis, but conflicting results were found for patients with acute respiratory infections. Mixed evidence was found for follow-up visit rates after remote and face-to-face consultations.

Conclusions

There is insufficient evidence to confidently conclude that remote consulting has a significant impact on antibiotic prescribing in primary care. However, studies indicating higher prescribing rates in remote consultations than in face-to-face consultations are a concern. Further, well-conducted studies are needed to inform safe and appropriate implementation of remote consulting to ensure that there is no unintended impact on antimicrobial resistance.
Monitoring Diagnostic Safety Risks in Emergency Departments: Protocol for a Machine Learning Study (Preprint)
Authors: Enayati Moein , Sir Mustafa , Zhang Xingyu , Parker Sarah J , Duffy Elizabeth , Singh Hardeep , Mahajan Prashant , Pasupathy Kalyan S
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND

Diagnostic decision making, especially in emergency departments, is a highly complex cognitive process that involves uncertainty and susceptibility to errors. A combination of factors, including patient factors (eg, history, behaviors, complexity, and comorbidity), provider-care team factors (eg, cognitive load and information gathering and synthesis), and system factors (eg, health information technology, crowding, shift-based work, and interruptions) may contribute to diagnostic errors. Using electronic triggers to identify records of patients with certain patterns of care, such as escalation of care, has been useful to screen for diagnostic errors. Once errors are identified, sophisticated data analytics and machine learning techniques can be applied to existing electronic health record (EHR) data sets to shed light on potential risk factors influencing diagnostic decision making.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to identify variables associated with diagnostic errors in emergency departments using large-scale EHR data and machine learning techniques.

METHODS

This study plans to use trigger algorithms within EHR data repositories to generate a large data set of records that are labeled trigger-positive or trigger-negative, depending on whether they meet certain criteria. Samples from both data sets will be validated using medical record reviews, upon which we expect to find a higher number of diagnostic safety events in the trigger-positive subset. Machine learning will be used to evaluate relationships between certain patient factors, provider-care team factors, and system-level risk factors and diagnostic safety signals in the statistically matched groups of trigger-positive and trigger-negative charts.

RESULTS

This federally funded study was approved by the institutional review board of 2 academic medical centers with affiliated community hospitals. Trigger queries are being developed at both organizations, and sample cohorts will be labeled using the triggers. Machine learning techniques such as association rule mining, chi-square automated interaction detection, and classification and regression trees will be used to discover important variables that could be incorporated within future clinical decision support systems to help identify and reduce risks that contribute to diagnostic errors.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of large EHR data sets and machine learning to investigate risk factors (related to the patient, provider-care team, and system-level) in the diagnostic process may help create future mechanisms for monitoring diagnostic safety.

Nonexistence and Aboutness: The Bandersnatches of Dubuque
Authors: Yablo Stephen
Published: October 2020

Holmes exists is false. How can this be, when there is no one for the sentence to misdescribe? Part of the answer is that a sentence’s topic depends on context. The king of France is bald, normally unevaluable, is false qua description of the bald people. Likewise Holmes exists is false qua description of the things that exist; it misdescribes those things as having Holmes among them. This does not explain, though, how Holmes does not exist differs in cognitive content from, say, Vulcan does not exist. Our answer builds on an observation of Kripke’s: even if Holmes exists, he is not in this room, for we were all born too late.

The Rewards for Meeting or Beating Managers' Own Earnings Guidance
Authors: Hui Kai Wai , Liu Alfred Zhu , Zhang Yao
Published: October 2020

SYNOPSIS

This study documents a stock return premium for meeting or beating management's own earnings guidance (MBMG) that is separate and distinct from the premium for meeting or beating analysts' earnings forecasts (MBAF) documented in prior literature. Cross-sectional analyses reveal that the MBMG premium relative to the MBAF premium increases when management guidance is more informative. We also find that MBMG is incrementally informative about a firm's future performance after considering MBAF. Our findings suggest that investors consider management earnings guidance to be a performance threshold in addition to analyst earnings forecasts when forming earnings expectations.

Key Audit Matters Reports in China: Their Descriptions and Implications of Audit Quality
Authors: Zeng Yamin , Zhang Joseph H. , Zhang Junsheng , Zhang Mengyu
Published: October 2020

SYNOPSIS

Using Chinese data of key audit matters (KAM) reports, this study assesses whether the KAM rule improves audit quality and how KAM disclosures relate to audit quality. With textual analysis, we evaluate disclosure characteristics in detail and find that auditors report both industry-generic and firm-specific KAM. The wordings, to a large extent, are firm-specific and differ in KAM reporting components. Our empirical investigation via the pre-post and difference-in-differences analyses reveals that audit quality is improved following the mandatory rule. The cross-sectional analysis shows that the number of KAMs and disclosure characteristics (such as specificity, similarity, readability, and length) signal auditors' concern about clients' earnings quality, audit effort, and the propensity of issuing modified opinions. Overall, our paper provides some evidence on the implementation and communicative value of the new KAM reporting.

Dilaksanakannya penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat pengaruh model pembelajaran problem based learning (PBL) berbantuan mind mapping terhadap kompetensi pengetahuan IPA kelas V SD. Saat proses pembelajaran dilakukan, siswa tampak tidak menunjukkan sikap aktif dalam menjawab maupun mengemukakan pendapat, dengan jumlah populasi sebanyak 413 siswa kelas V maka perbaikan proses belajar mengajar perlu dilakukan. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan yaitu nonequivalent control group design dengan jenis penelitian eksperimen semu. Kemudian ditentukan dua sampel yang dipilih dengan teknik random sampling, sebagai kelompok eksperimen sebanyak 32 siswa dan sebagai kelompok kontrol sebanyak 34 siswa. Data dikumpulkan dengan metode tes pilihan ganda biasa, kemudian dianalisis dengan uji-t polled varians. Dari penghitungan didapatkan nilai rerata kelompok eksperimen = 84,90 sementara nilai rerata kelompok kontrol = 76,82. Kemudian dilakukan uji hipotesis dengan uji-t polled varians diperoleh hasil thitung = 4,46 > ttabel = 2,000 dengan dk = 64 dan taraf signifikansi 5%. Menurut kriteria pengujian maka H0 ditolak, yang menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan kompetensi pengetahuan IPA antara kelompok yang dibelajarkan menggunakan model PBL berbantuan mind mapping dengan kelompok yang mendapatkan pembelajaran konvensional. Karena nilai rerata kelompok eksperimen lebih dari kelompok kontrol maka kesimpulannya terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan model PBL berbantuan mind mapping terhadap kompetensi pengetahuan IPA kelas V SD. Penggunaan model pembelajaran yang sesuai bisa memberikan manfaat positif pada kompetensi pengetahuan siswa. Penerapan model PBL berbantuan mind mapping ini dapat membuat siswa lebih partisipatif dalam belajar.
