Prediction of the temperature distribution in the reservoir when oil is displaced by a fluid with a temperature different from the reservoir
Authors: Vydysh Ivan V. , Fedorov Konstantin M. , Shevelev Alexander P.
Published: January 2024

The temperature field is an important factor that must be considered when using thermal methods to intensify oil production. The change in the temperature field is accompanied by a change in the thermophysical properties of reservoir fluids and the entire bottom-hole zone. For example, changes in fluid viscosity, phase transformations or paraffin deposition. The prediction of the thermal field in the reservoir during fluid injection with a temperature other than the reservoir is an important and actual task.
All the processes described above are based on the prediction of the temperature field and its evolution. Non-isothermal filtration models embedded in expensive commercial simulators are used to analyze the thermal field in formations, which allow calculating its detailed evolution in geologically complex deposits. However, many tasks are reduced to determining the probability of activation of a particular thermal process in the reservoir. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to develop a simplified model of the evolution of the thermal field in the reservoir during fluid injection with a temperature different from the reservoir.
In this paper, the stationary problem of the distribution of fluid temperature in the injection well trunk is solved. An algorithm for determining the heat transfer coefficient by measuring the temperature at the bottom of the well has been developed. A simplified model of the formation of a temperature field in a reservoir during the injection of a fluid with a temperature different from the reservoir in the Lauwerier approximation is formulated. The formula for determining the average value of the heat transfer coefficient along the entire length of the formation is obtained. It is shown that the heat transfer coefficient depends on the thermophysical properties of the injected fluid and the parameters of the injection well operation. It is shown that the absence of measurements of the thermophysical properties of rocks and reservoir fluids leads to predictions of the thermal field with maximum uncertainty in the half of the impact site closest to the injection well.

Published: January 2024

Based on modeling of non-isothermal filtration of a multiphase fluid, taking into account thermohydrodynamic effects and heat of condensation, the formation of a temperature field in a homogeneous porous medium at different pressures at the onset of condensation is studied. A numerical model of one-dimensional two-phase filtration taking into account the phase transition is obtained. Testing of the numerical solution was carried out on the basis of a well-known analytical solution for non-isothermal two-phase filtration in a reservoir taking into account mass transfer.
The change in gas flow rate during condensate precipitation and the change in temperature over time on the well wall are considered. It is shown that, depending on the pressure of the onset of condensation (the radius of the onset of condensation in the formation), a different rate of formation of the temperature field in the formation is observed after the well is put into operation: the temperature anomaly can be positive, negative or inverse.
The results of numerical experiments can be used when planning field studies in gas condensate wells.
Linear filtration waves in a layered heterogeneous formation
Authors: Filippov Alexander I. , Akhmetova Oksana V. , Zelenova Marina A.
Published: January 2024

Solutions to the problem of a filtration-wave pressure field in a layered inhomogeneous medium with a pressure pulse specified on the left boundary are obtained. The problem statement contains a two-dimensional wave equation in the central layer, a wave equation that takes into account the predominance of vertical motion in the environment, symmetry conditions in the center of the formation, equality of pressures and flows at the interfaces, the absence of disturbances of the filtration wave field at the initial moment of time and at an infinite distance from the source of disturbance.
The article found an exact solution to the problem obtained using the Laplace–Carson and the Fourier transform of sine, an asymptotic solution and an exact solution for the special case of a homogeneous medium. It is shown that when the formal parameter tends to zero, the exact solution coincides with the main asymptotic approximation. The tendency of the thickness of the central layer to infinity reduces the solution for a layered inhomogeneous medium to an expression describing the pressure fields in a homogeneous medium.
Spatiotemporal dependencies describing the dynamics of the pressure pulse in layered inhomogeneous and homogeneous media were constructed, and the general properties and features of linear filtration waves in layered inhomogeneous and homogeneous layers were studied.
Molecular Insight into the Apoptotic Mechanism of Cancer Cells: An
Explicative Review
Authors: Karati Dipanjan , Kumar Dileep
Published: January 2024

Mitosis of somatic cells produces a daughter cell. Apoptosis, a naturally programmed cellular death mechanism, kills abnormal cells produced by
mitosis. Cancer can develop when this equilibrium is disrupted, either by an upsurge in cell propagation or a reduction in tissue demise. Cancer
therapy aims to cause cancer cells to die while inflicting little harm to healthy cells. This review of apoptotic mechanism processes improves our
understanding of how certain malignancies begin and develop. The current cancer treatments can operate either by inducing apoptosis or causing
direct cell damage. An insight into the resistance to apoptosis may explicate why malignancy treatments fail in some situations. New therapies
grounded on our understanding of apoptotic processes are being developed to induce apoptosis of cancer cells while limiting the simultaneous
death of normal cells. Various biological activities require redox equilibrium to function properly.

Antineoplastic medications that cause oxidative stress by raising ROS and blocking antioxidant mechanisms have recently attracted much interest.
The rapid accumulation of ROS impairs redox balance and damages cancer cells severely. Here, we discuss ROS-instigating malignancy therapy
and the antineoplastic mechanism used by prooxidative drugs.

The National Museum, in Brazil, lives: Memories and perspectives that the flames do not destroy
Authors: Soto Moana Campos
Published: January 2024

The paper deals with one of the recurring tragedies that have already consumed a lot of human cultural heritage, the fires, based on the example of the National Museum, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, fundamental institution for scientific dissemination, for national development and as the first museum experience for popular sectors. The memory of its formation and development is recovered, presenting its collections and exhibitions, and showing how the fire ended an intense museum renovation process in progress. It presents the immediate and, mainly, mediates causes of creating the environment for the tragedy. In particular, it points out how the disinvestment process is related to the neoliberal setback in a dependent country: the denial of the need for popular education and public scientific research, which was developed by this institution. Finally, it shows how this museum can recover, trusting its dedicated workers and the support and affection that the popular community of the city and the suburbs feel for the museum.

A Case of Uncontrolled Diabetes Complicated by Nonketotic Hyperglycemic Hemichorea
Authors: Hayes Ryan , Beard, MD G. Hudson , Labus, MD Andrea
Published: January 2024

Nonketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea (NHH) is a rare complication of uncontrolled Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This report shares the case of a 53-year-old man from West Virginia presenting with an acute onset of hemichorea and a several-year history of uncontrolled T2DM. The patient's physical examination, laboratory, and radiologic findings indicated severe hyperglycemia and striatal hyper-density, leading to the diagnosis of NHH. NHH should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with acute movement disorders, especially in West Virginia with its high rate of Type II diabetes.
Renal Abscess Complicated by Renal Vein Thrombosis Mimicking Clinical Stage T3a Renal Cell Carcinoma
Authors: Bonar, MD Eric , Morley, MD Chad , Morley, MD Hilary , Nield, MD Linda
Published: January 2024

Renal abscesses accompanied by a renal vein thrombosis (RVT) may have a similar appearance to clinical stage T3a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) on computed tomography (CT) imaging. RVTs are rare clinical findings that more commonly occur in adults with malignant renal tumors or nephrotic syndrome. A 71-year-old woman with risk factors for both renal infection and RCC was found to have a heterogeneous mass with irregular borders and areas of contrast enhancement on CT imaging. A two-week course of antibiotic and anti-coagulant treatment was prescribed with close follow-up. Urine culture eventually grew greater than 100,000 colonies of Escherichia coli. Repeat imaging after six weeks revealed resolution of the mass and the RVT. This patient's case emphasizes that although the findings of RVT and renal mass more commonly point to the diagnosis of malignancy, infections many present in a similar manner but require substantially different treatment. Close follow-up with repeat imaging is imperative to differentiate malignancy from infection or other causes.

Published: January 2024

This study integrated geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing technology to identify areas around pipelines that are more susceptible to corrosion having the Kurdistan pipeline as a case study. Geospatial data are used to target factors such as rainfall, temperature, rivers, and minerals which increase the corrosion rate. Spatial data such as, the direction of slope, rainfall, proximity to rivers, and minerals, were collected and analyzed; maps were created for every individual factor to visualize their distribution. By overlaying these maps, regions that are at higher risk of corrosion were identified, which can be prioritized for further investigation or preventive measures. This paper’s findings are significant for oil and gas industries, including pipeline operators and designers as corrosion can lead to devastating consequences. The novelty of this study is to identify areas along the pipeline at higher risk of corrosion through the application of geospatial information systems and remote sensing. This methodology holds immense potential for industries looking to proactively prevent corrosion through the implementation of preventative maintenance, monitoring programs, and the application of protective coatings and inhibitors. The results of this research demonstrate that environmental data, GIS, and remote sensing can predict corrosion in oil pipelines, offering valuable insights for better managing corrosion risk.

Published: January 2024

Background

In recent years, technologies promoting the digitization of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) records including app-cloud cooperation systems have emerged. Studies combining these technological interventions with support from remote health care professionals have reported improvements in glycemic control.

Objective

To assess the use of an app-cloud cooperation system linked with SMBG devices in clinical settings, we evaluated its effects on outpatient management of diabetes without remote health care professional support.

Methods

In this multicenter, open-label, and single-armed prospective study, 48 patients with diabetes (including type 1 and type 2) at 3 hospitals in Japan treated with insulin or glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and performing SMBG used the app-cloud cooperation system for 24 weeks. The SMBG data were automatically uploaded to the cloud via the app. The patients could check their data, and their attending physicians reviewed the data through the cloud prior to the patients’ regular visits. The primary outcome was changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.

Results

Although HbA1c levels did not significantly change in all patients, the frequency of daily SMBG following applying the system was significantly increased before induction at 12 (0.60 per day, 95% CI 0.19-1.00; P=.002) and 24 weeks (0.43 per day, 95% CI 0.02-0.84; P=.04). In the subset of 21 patients whose antidiabetic medication had not been adjusted during the intervention period, a decrease in HbA1c level was observed at 12 weeks (P=.02); however, this significant change disappeared at 24 weeks (P=.49). The Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire total score and “Q4: convenience” and “Q5: flexibility” scores significantly improved after using the system (all P<.05), and 72% (33/46) patients and 76% (35/46) physicians reported that the app-cloud cooperation system helped them adjust insulin doses.

Conclusions

The digitization of SMBG records and sharing of the data by patients and attending physicians during face-to-face visits improved self-management in patients with diabetes.

Application of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis to Improve the Quality of the Front Page of Electronic Medical Records in China: Cross-Sectional Data Mapping Analysis
Authors: Zhan Siyi , Ding Liping , Li Hui , Su Aonan
Published: January 2024

Background

The completeness and accuracy of the front pages of electronic medical records (EMRs) are crucial for evaluating hospital performance and for health insurance payments to inpatients. However, the quality of the first page of EMRs in China's medical system is not satisfactory, which can be partly attributed to deficiencies in the EMR system. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a proactive risk management tool that can be used to investigate the potential failure modes in an EMR system and analyze the possible consequences.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to preemptively identify the potential failures of the EMR system in China and their causes and effects in order to prevent such failures from recurring. Further, we aimed to implement corresponding improvements to minimize system failure modes.

Methods

From January 1, 2020, to May 31, 2022, 10 experts, including clinicians, engineers, administrators, and medical record coders, in Zhejiang People’s Hospital conducted FMEA to improve the quality of the front page of the EMR. The completeness and accuracy of the front page and the risk priority numbers were compared before and after the implementation of specific improvement measures.

Results

We identified 2 main processes and 6 subprocesses for improving the EMR system. We found that there were 13 potential failure modes, including data messaging errors, data completion errors, incomplete quality control, and coding errors. A questionnaire survey administered to random physicians and coders showed 7 major causes for these failure modes. Therefore, we established quality control rules for medical records and embedded them in the system. We also integrated the medical insurance system and the front page of the EMR on the same interface and established a set of intelligent front pages in the EMR management system. Further, we revamped the quality management systems such as communicating with physicians regularly and conducting special training seminars. The overall accuracy and integrity rate of the front page (P<.001) of the EMR increased significantly after implementation of the improvement measures, while the risk priority number decreased.

Conclusions

In this study, we were able to identify the potential failure modes in the front page of the EMR system by using the FMEA method and implement corresponding improvement measures in order to minimize recurring errors in the health care services in China.
Patient Characteristics Associated With Phone and Video Visits at a Tele-Urgent Care Center During the Initial COVID-19 Response: Cross-Sectional Study (Preprint)
Authors: Khairat Saif , John Roshan , Pillai Malvika , McDaniel Philip , Edson Barbara
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Health systems rapidly adopted telemedicine as an alternative health care delivery modality in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Demographic factors, such as age and gender, may play a role in patients’ choice of a phone or video visit. However, it is unknown whether there are differences in utilization between phone and video visits.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate patients’ characteristics, patient utilization, and service characteristics of a tele-urgent care clinic during the initial response to the pandemic.

METHODS

We conducted a cross-sectional study of urgent care patients using a statewide, on-demand telemedicine clinic with board-certified physicians during the initial phases of the pandemic. The study data were collected from March 3, 2020, through May 3, 2020.

RESULTS

Of 1803 telemedicine visits, 1278 (70.9%) patients were women, 730 (40.5%) were aged 18 to 34 years, and 1423 (78.9%) were uninsured. There were significant differences between telemedicine modalities and gender (P<.001), age (P<.001), insurance status (P<.001), prescriptions given (P<.001), and wait times (P<.001). Phone visits provided significantly more access to rural areas than video visits (P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings suggest that offering patients a combination of phone and video options provided additional flexibility for various patient subgroups, particularly patients living in rural regions with limited internet bandwidth. Differences in utilization were significant based on patient gender, age, and insurance status. We also found differences in prescription administration between phone and video visits that require additional investigation.
Digital Maturity as a Predictor of Quality and Safety Outcomes in US Hospitals: Cross-Sectional Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Snowdon Anne , Hussein Abdulkadir , Danforth Melissa , Wright Alexandra , Oakes Reid
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

This study demonstrates that digital maturity contributes to strengthened quality and safety performance outcomes in US hospitals. Advanced digital maturity is associated with more digitally enabled work environments with automated flow of data across information systems to enable clinicians and leaders to track quality and safety outcomes. This research illustrates that an advanced digitally enabled workforce is associated with strong safety leadership and culture and better patient health and safety outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to examine the relationship between digital maturity and quality and safety outcomes in US hospitals.

METHODS

The data sources were hospital safety letter grades as well as quality and safety scores on a continuous scale published by The Leapfrog Group. We used the digital maturity level (measured using the Electronic Medical Record Assessment Model [EMRAM]) of 1026 US hospitals. This was a cross-sectional, observational study. Logistic, linear, and Tweedie regression analyses were used to explore the relationships among The Leapfrog Group's Hospital Safety Grades, individual Leapfrog safety scores, and digital maturity levels classified as advanced or fully developed digital maturity (EMRAM levels 6 and 7) or underdeveloped maturity (EMRAM level 0). Digital maturity was a predictor while controlling for hospital characteristics including teaching status, urban or rural location, hospital size measured by number of beds, whether the hospital was a referral center, and type of hospital ownership as confounding variables. Hospitals were divided into the following 2 groups to compare safety and quality outcomes: hospitals that were digitally advanced and hospitals with underdeveloped digital maturity. Data from The Leapfrog Group's Hospital Safety Grades report published in spring 2019 were matched to the hospitals with completed EMRAM assessments in 2019. Hospital characteristics such as number of hospital beds were obtained from the CMS database.

RESULTS

The results revealed that the odds of achieving a higher Leapfrog Group Hospital Safety Grade was statistically significantly higher, by 3.25 times, for hospitals with advanced digital maturity (EMRAM maturity of 6 or 7; odds ratio 3.25, 95% CI 2.33-4.55).

CONCLUSIONS

Hospitals with advanced digital maturity had statistically significantly reduced infection rates, reduced adverse events, and improved surgical safety outcomes. The study findings suggest a significant difference in quality and safety outcomes among hospitals with advanced digital maturity compared with hospitals with underdeveloped digital maturity.

Authors: Azzahra Naidhisyia , Adi Kurniawan Mahrus Lutfi
Published: January 2024

As a world crude oil exporter, Indonesia can only meet domestic oil needs of 40% and 60% through imports. The level of imports in the oil and gas sector, which is higher than exports, impacts the trade balance, which can threaten the stability of the domestic economy. This study analyzes oil and gas import policies using time-series data from 2005Q1-2021Q4 using the VECM approach. The study results show that GDP, inflation, world oil prices, and interest rates affect oil and gas imports. Structural analysis shows that inflation and world oil prices are essential in oil and gas import policies. The implications of the research show that apart from political policies, decisions on oil and gas imports must also pay attention to conditions of domestic inflation and international oil prices to stabilize domestic economic conditions.

Published: January 2024

Este artigo discute, em linhas gerais, a evolução do sistema educativo moçambicano, fenómeno ocorrido antes e logo após a independência nacional. Um processo que contrapôs a dependência colonial e o elitismo escolar, causas do subdesenvolvimento do país e das práticas educativas aos moçambicanos. A evolução do sistema educativo em Moçambique tem explicação, tanto antes da ocupação colonial, como nos termos da conquista da independência, devido às novas exigências económicas, culturais, politicas, sociais, de índole nacional e internacional, de cada período. Por uma educação inclusiva, patriótica e de qualidade, a educação em Moçambique procura dar respostas ao maior desafio, o da educação para todos. A evolução do sistema educativo em Moçambique pode ser dividida em três períodos distintos: Período antes do colonialismo Português, considerado período de educação tradicional, Período Colonial (1845-1974) que compreende a educação colonial e do governo de transição, finalmente o Período Pós – Independência (1975 aos nossos dias), cujo destaque vai para antes e depois da introdução do Sistema Nacional de Educação.

Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de dados secundários de domínio público obtidos na plataforma DataSUS, sucedendo os passos: acesso à informação, informações de saúde, epidemiológicas e morbidade, morbidade hospitalar do SUS, geral por local de internação, a partir de 2008, abrangência geográfica Ceará, CID-10, neoplasia, lista de morbidade do CID-10, neoplasia maligna do lábio, cavidade oral e faringe, faixa etária, sexo, cor/raça e ano de atendimento em qualquer uma das vinte e duas coordenadorias regionais de saúde do estado do Ceará. Os dados mostram que, ao longo do período de estudo, foram hospitalizados 3833 pacientes, com média anual de 766 internações, ocorrendo principalmente no ano de 2022. O perfil das hospitalizações revela a prevalência do sexo masculino de cor/raça parda na faixa etária de 50 anos a 69 anos, sendo contabilizadas principalmente na 1ª região de saúde Fortaleza. Diante dos resultados foi evidenciado que centenas de cearenses são hospitalizados anualmente por esta classificação de câncer. Esperamos que os gestores possam utilizar os resultados do presente estudo para o adequado planejamento, execução, monitoramento e avaliação das ações multiprofissionais em saúde.
Liberdade médica questionável
Authors: Silva Heslley
Published: January 2024

Uma suposta liberdade ou autonomia médica foi o álibi para o uso de medicamentos inócuos e que envolveram riscos durante a pandemia de Covid-19 no Brasil. É importante discutir como isso ocorreu e quais as possíveis consequências. Também é fundamental atribuir responsabilidades em relação à essa atitude de parte da comunidade médica brasileira, e analisar como é possível reconhecer esse equívoco e desmistificar qualquer justificativa para esse processo. Finalmente é preciso perceber o papel do Conselho Federal de Medicina, no seu alinhamento político e ideológico, no suporte ao uso dessas drogas ineficazes de forma precoce contra o SARS-CoV-19.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar a experiência da criação de um software educativo que proporciona o entretenimento às crianças, mediante uma interface interativa que expõe curiosidades e informações acerca do desenvolvimento de uma boa higiene bucal. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, realizado por discentes e docentes do curso de Odontologia, por meio da disciplina de Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação em Odontologia. De acordo com estudos catalogados, a adoção de comportamentos saudáveis estimuladas por jogos impulsiona um maior índice de aprendizagem entre as crianças. Nesse contexto, foi escolhida, para elaboração do game, a plataforma Genially, que contempla a dinâmica de perguntas e respostas, por meio de uma interface virtual, combinando diferentes linguagens acessíveis ao público infantil. Conclui-se que, a partir das análises, essa metodologia representa um potencial mecanismo de ensino pouco evidente, que precisa ser ampliado nas áreas que compreendem a promoção da saúde bucal.

Characteristics of Metformin Transporter Coding Gene (SLC22A1 rs628031 and SLC47A1 rs2289669) in Healthy Indonesian Subject
Authors: Susilowati Endang
Published: January 2024

Background: Metformin might be a first therapy for Type 2 diabetes; however, it had a lot of variation in glycemic response. Objective: to analyze the frequency of minor alleles of the OCT1 coding gene (SLC22A1 rs628031) and MATE1 coding gene (SLC47A1 rs2289669) as well as the genotypic variation of the interaction of these two genetic polymorphisms in healthy subjects of Indonesia. Material and Methods: Through inclusion criteria, the study employed an observational descriptive technique with 70 Indonesian Javanese healthy individuals. Subject health information was obtained from the complete blood routine test, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase/ serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGOT/SGPT), complete urine test, and serum creatinine tests. All data were compared to the normal range. Results: The finding shows that the minor allele frequency on SLC22A1 rs628031 A>G and SLC47A1 rs2289669 G>A respectively at 53% and 36%. There are four SLC22A1 rs628031 and SLC47A1 rs2289669 genetic polymorphism interactions; 16 Wt/Wt (16.75%), 24 Wt/M (25%), 32 M/Wt (33.3%) and 24 M/M (25%). The discovery demonstrates that such minor allele frequencies of the SLC22A1 rs628031 OCT1 and SLC47A1 rs2289669 MATE1 genes in healthy Indonesian subjects are relatively high. The SLC22A1 rs628031 A>G and SLC47A1 rs2289669 G>A respectively at 53% and 36%, almost the same as the minor allele frequencies found in several other Asian countries eg. India, Japan, and China.  Conclusions: OCT1 coding genes (SLC22A1 rs628031 A>G) were found more dominant than MATE1 coding genes (SLC47A1 rs2289669 G>A) and both alleles are relatively high in healthy subjects of Indonesia, which can be used as information to explore the consequences of different genes' interactions on the Indonesian pharmacokinetic properties, and the efficacy variations of metformin in Type2 DM patients.
The small hydroelectric power stations as an element of the multifunctional development of rural areas
Authors: Bukowski Marcin
Published: January 2024

Poland’s accession to the EU has caused a necessity of harmonising Polish with the union law also in the field of energy law. It also enforces achievement of 7,5% share of energy from alternative sources in the total energy consumption in 2010. Execution of this international commitment will require more economic and legal support from the state. The development of alternative sources of energy creates chances of development of rural areas where these kinds of installations are being mostly located. This article presents an analysis of the economic efficiency of energy production on an example of 5 small hydroelectric power stations. The analysis is based on a comparison of full unit costs and unit revenue from energy sale. Bigger stations proved economically efficient while for the smaller the break even point is associated with an average water flow of 153 million m3/year
