Patterns in Weight and Physical Activity Tracking Data Preceding a Stop in Weight Monitoring: Observational Analysis
Authors: Frie Kerstin , Hartmann-Boyce Jamie , Jebb Susan , Oke Jason , Aveyard Paul
Published: December 2019

Background

Self-regulation for weight loss requires regular self-monitoring of weight, but the frequency of weight tracking commonly declines over time.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate whether it is a decline in weight loss or a drop in motivation to lose weight (using physical activity tracking as a proxy) that may be prompting a stop in weight monitoring.

Methods

We analyzed weight and physical activity data from 1605 Withings Health Mate app users, who had set a weight loss goal and stopped tracking their weight for at least six weeks after a minimum of 16 weeks of continuous tracking. Mixed effects models compared weight change, average daily steps, and physical activity tracking frequency between a 4-week period of continuous tracking and a 4-week period preceding the stop in weight tracking. Additional mixed effects models investigated subsequent changes in physical activity data during 4 weeks of the 6-week long stop in weight tracking.

Results

People lost weight during continuous tracking (mean −0.47 kg, SD 1.73) but gained weight preceding the stop in weight tracking (mean 0.25 kg, SD 1.62; difference 0.71 kg; 95% CI 0.60 to 0.81). Average daily steps (beta=−220 daily steps per time period; 95% CI −320 to −120) and physical activity tracking frequency (beta=−3.4 days per time period; 95% CI −3.8 to −3.1) significantly declined from the continuous tracking to the pre-stop period. From pre-stop to post-stop, physical activity tracking frequency further decreased (beta=−6.6 days per time period; 95% CI −7.12 to −6.16), whereas daily step count on the day’s activity was measured increased (beta=110 daily steps per time period; 95% CI 50 to 170).

Conclusions

In the weeks before people stop tracking their weight, their physical activity and physical activity monitoring frequency decline. At the same time, weight increases, suggesting that declining motivation for weight control and difficulties with making use of negative weight feedback might explain why people stop tracking their weight. The increase in daily steps but decrease in physical activity tracking frequency post-stop might result from selective measurement of more active days.

Authors: SARIKAYA Nilgün , ALTUNIŞIK Remzi
Published: December 2019

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın
amacı, hizmet alanlar gözünden ülkemizdeki sağlık hizmetlerinin nasıl
algılandığı, yaşanmakta olan sağlık sorunlarını algılamaları, hasta hakları ve
sorumlulukları konusundaki bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerinin algılanması, hasta
ve hasta yakınlarının tutum ve davranışlarının değerlendirilmesi ile sağlık
hizmetlerinden genel memnuniyet düzeylerinin algılanmasına ilişkin genel bir
bilgi toplamaktır. 

Yöntem: Araştırma
bağlamında Sakarya ve İstanbul ilinde Haziran-Temmuz 2019’da bir anket
çalışması yürütülmüştür. Saha çalışması kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile
belirlenen gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak 200 katılımcı üzerinde
gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Bulgular: Araştırma
bulgularına göre, sağlık hizmetlerinde yaşanan sorunlar arasında doktorların
ilgisizliği, uzun bekleme süreleri, yanlış teşhis ve tedaviler ile çalışan
sayısının yetersizliği öne çıkmaktadır. Katılımcıların cevapları genel olarak
ele alındığında sağlık hizmetleriyle ilgili yaşanan sorunları dört boyut
altında toplanabileceği gözlenmektedir.

 Bunları sağlık kurumlarında hizmet kalite duyarlılığı,
sağlık çalışanlarının ilgisizliği, hasta hakları farkındalık düzeyi ve
hastaların kaba ve saygısız davranışları olarak ifade etmek mümkündür. Ayrıca, hastane
seçiminde etkili olan faktörler ile hastanede yaşanan sorunlar demografik
özelliklere göre de değişmekte olduğu da araştırma bulguları arasındadır.   

Sonuç: Sağlık
sektörünün bir hizmet sektörü olması sebebiyle, hizmetlerin başarısı ve hasta
memnuniyeti açısından insan unsuru kritik önem arz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda tüm
sağlık çalışanları (hekim, hemşire, tıbbi sekreter ve diğer görevliler) kadar
hasta ve hasta refakatçılarının da hak ve sorumluluklarının bilincinde olacak
şekilde davranmak zorundadırlar. Sağlık sisteminin etkin işlemesi sadece
hakların bilinmesiyle değil, sorumlulukların da bilinmesi ve yerine getirilmesi
ile mümkün olacaktır. Ancak hak ve sorumluluklar konusundaki bilgi ve
farkındalık düzeyinin yetersiz olduğunu söylemek yanlış olmayacaktır.

Published: December 2019

The aim of this research was to characterize and analyze the formulation of emulsified modification bitumen (EMB) as well as the industrial wastes used in the formulation. Bitumen being a non-renewable product with severe environmental issues arising lately led to the use of industrial wastes such as plastic and recycled base oil in this research. Physical characteristic studies were performed to analyze the decomposition temperature, boiling point, flash point, density, moisture content, element content in waste plastics, and flowability of bitumen emulsion. Eight ratios of modified bitumen were formulated and compared with the industrial grade bitumen. The modified bitumen with a penetration value of 103 mm and softening value at 49 °C was chosen for the emulsification process where three emulsifiers were added into the mixture of bitumen and water. These samples were compared with the industrial bitumen emulsion. From the analysis, the formulated emulsion was obtained from a mixture consists of 20% bitumen, 7% polymer, and 73% recycled base oil.

Authors: Susanthy Dian , Santosa Sri Juari , Kunarti Eko Sri
Published: December 2019

This paper describes the antibacterial performance of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) which have been synthesized by using p-aminobenzoic acid as reducing and stabilizing agent simultaneously. The silver nitrate with various concentrations was reacted with pH 11-adjusted p-aminobenzoic acid with a concentration of 5 × 10–3 mol L–1 for 30 min in a boiling water bath. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). The antibacterial performance of the synthesized AgNPs was evaluated by agar well diffusion method on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The higher silver nitrate concentration, the bigger the nanoparticle size, the wider particle size distribution, and the higher number of AgNPs formed. AgNPs synthesized from higher silver nitrate concentration had higher antibacterial activity. It is an indication that the antibacterial activity of AgNPs is mainly controlled by the silver ion concentration which influences the AgNPs particle size and existence of silver ion in the AgNPs colloidal solution

Authors: Andriyanto Andriyanto , Wilopo Wahyu , Retnaningrum Endah
Published: December 2019

This research explored the performance of a fixed-bed anaerobic bioreactor system (FBR) using sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) from the sediment of Sikidang Crater in Indonesia. Indonesian natural zeolite was used as an inert medium in this bioreactor system. This bioreactor performance was analyzed based on its sulfate reduction efficiency, Cu removal, pH profile, SRB growth, and the changes in mineral composition of the zeolite surface. Based on a batch experiment, the FBR system was operated at 30 °C with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 7 days using a zeolite dose of 100 g/L. After its operation, a large amount of SRB (up to 1.5 × 105 cells/mm2) was entrapped and present in the zeolite. This bacterial consortium could reduce sulfate and copper by around 68% and 99.96%, respectively. In addition, the pH value of the bioreactor changed to neutral, which indicated a good performance of the operation. The result of the Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX) confirmed that copper removal was caused by the formation of copper-sulfide precipitation. Mapping also revealed that both copper and sulfur were precipitated at the same location.

Published: December 2019

Introducción: La prevalencia del cáncer es un problema que vas más allá de la preocupación médica, por cuanto involucra aspectos subjetivos y sociales en la vida de quienes lo padecen o están en riesgo. Por esto, es de gran importancia detectarlo tempranamente, especialmente entre mujeres debido a su exposición a los factores de riesgo de cáncer de mama y cérvix. Objetivo: Analizar la abstención femenina en Chile a la Mamografía y Papanicolaou. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un análisis multivariado de regresión logística binomial, de los datos disponibles en el Módulo de Salud de la Encuesta de Caracterización Socioeconómica Nacional (CASEN) en su edición del año 2015. Resultados: Se expone una generalizada abstención a la acción preventiva entre mujeres, aun cuando la prevalencia de ambos tipos de cáncer es alta. Los motivos personales aparecen como los más comunes para omitir Mamografía y/o Papanicolaou, especialmente la subvaloración de su importancia. Los factores que aumentan la probabilidad de abstención son la baja escolaridad, la ausencia de afiliación médica y la presencia de pareja. Conclusiones: Se plantea la necesidad de aumentar igualmente la cobertura del servicio preventivo, focalizar los recursos hacia la población vulnerable y mejorar las estrategias de incentivo hacia estos exámenes.

Published: December 2019

Based on the temperature measurement technology of tunable diode laser ab-sorption spectroscopy, the simulation and experimental research on the temperature measurement of CO2 gas emitted by D4114B Diesel engine is realized. The light source model, gas chamber model and data detection model were established by using SIMULINK, which is more general numerical simulation tool in MATLAB. Under the simulated Diesel engine emission environment, the measured CO2 gas temperature was obtained by model simulation and analyzed. The simulation relative error was 0.077%. The marine D4114B Diesel engine was used as the test object, the visual window was reconstructed on the exhaust light path, and an optical path test system was established. The tunable diode laser was used as the detection light source to carry out on-line test research on the CO2 gas temperature in the exhaust gas emission. The relative error was 4.4%. The results show that the model built by SIMULINK can reflect the actual laser modulation effect and CO2 gas absorption. The simulation results have certain reference value for the research of tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy temperature measurement system.

Published: December 2019

El estado de Guerrero ha sido estudiado desde la óptica de varias disciplinas de las ciencias sociales; destacan los trabajos históricos, etnográficos, antropológicos, económicos, políticos y geográficos. Pese a ello, la configuración económica-territorial de la entidad y las implicaciones sociales de esta demandan más obras que examinen los rasgos fundamentales de este estado de México. En este sentido, el análisis de la dinámica económica guerrerense desde el enfoque territorial es un aporte substancial a la elucidación de las disparidades socioeconómicas contemporáneas de dicho estado. Con tal propósito investigativo, en este artículo se utilizó la tipificación probabilística. Esta metodología se caracteriza por el contenido esencial del método de tipificación, la repetitividad territorial y la jerarquía, lo que facilita visualizar las disparidades que prevalecen en el conjunto de procesos u objetos analizados. En esta ocasión, se emplearon cuatro indicadores para evaluar el nivel de desarrollo socioeconómico que presentan los diferentes municipios guerrerenses. Con base en esto, fue posible identificar que las diferencias territoriales en la economía de Guerrero son de tipo y magnitud distinta, lo cual advierte la intervención de actores políticos y económicos locales, regionales, nacionales y, recientemente, multinacionales, quienes han definido las áreas donde ocurre la introducción de diversas inversiones económicas.
The role of printed and electroniс publications in development of vision disorders
Authors: Markelova S. V.
Published: December 2019

Aim. To study whether the use of printed and electronic publications is associated with vision disorders.

Materials and Methods. We interrogated 100 high school students and 355 university students using a questionnaire developed by the Research Institute of Hygiene and Surveillance on Child and Adolescent Health. Further, 179 university students were examined utilising the automated system for the physiological testing while 100 high school students were examined by a certified ophthalmologist.

Results. Around the half of the students have self-evaluated their vision as reduced, without associating this with the use of electronic devices. Boys were more prone to underestimate their health (Pearson’s contingency coefficient C = 0.2, p < 0.001). Eye fatigue was significantly associated with higher frequency of using electronic devices regardless of their type (C = 0.7 for desktop computers and laptops, 0.8 for electronic books and 0.6 for tablets (p = 0.001)) while headaches were specifically associated with increased laptop use (C = 0.5, p = 0.02). Self-assessed reduced vision correlated with higher frequency of tablet use (C = 0.2, p = 0.004). Moderate or high myopia were also associated with a higher frequency of using desktop computer or laptop (C = 0.75, p = 0.001). The average time of work on a computer reached 2 and 3 hours on schooldays and on the weekend, respectively, in high school students. These numbers were significantly higher in university students (2.6 and 4.4 hours respectively for desktop computer and 2.9/3.7 hours for laptop). Functional vision loss was detected in 67.2% of high school students and 19% of university students while moderate or high myopia was diagnosed in 8.2% of high school students and 53.6% of university students. Mean visual acuity was 0.61 ± 0.25 (OD) and 0.64 ± 0.25 (OS).

Conclusions. Safety indicators of electronic publications are needed to be developed and properly regulated.
Picturing the Immaterial
Authors: Von Bonsdorff Anna-Maria
Published: December 2019

The article explores a significant trait in Ellen Thesleff’s art. Her artistic practices were deeply embedded in the development of European artistic circles at the end of the nineteenth century with a shift towards colour and meaning – when ‘material’ colour became part of the content – which was one of the main manifestations of Early Modernism in Finnish art. Her paintings from the 1890s reflect the ideals of correspondence, musicality and atmospheric tonality, a technique which she used in many of her early works. However, I will also propose that Thesleff’s take on the strict achromatic colour scheme, as well as the specific ascetic and tonalist technique which she used during the 1890s until the early-1900s, gave her subdued paintings and drawings new meaning and possibilities beyond the symbolist credo. The article discusses the interconnectedness between music and art using the nineteenth-century concepts of musicality and indistinctness. The difficult goal of using tangible form to reference intangible ideas was accomplished through careful manipulation of both style and subject. Such heavy manipulation, characterises the symbolist artist’s work, a form of non-compliance with traditional rules of representational art. By introducing extreme manipulation of form, colour, and technique, Thesleff announces to the viewer that her art is not an illusion of reality but rather a jumping-off image into the realm of ideas. However, these highly valued aspects of symbolist painting continued to be explored by artists also during the twentieth century. The method of tonality – one unifying colour to tone the whole painting – is something to which Thesleff surprisingly returns in the 1920s and 1930s.

The study applies multiscale approach covering Moscow influence on Central Russia and other regions, interaction with the Moscow oblast and the level of internal population distribution within Moscow and particular settlements and villages in New Moscow territories. The gap in development is significantly noticeable for expanding Moscow and Moscow oblast against the background of depopulation in Central Russia regions and cities. Within the boundaries of Moscow the continuing model of extensive spatial growth of population has led to the most rapid growth of its periphery zone. Areas similar to bedroom communities in Old Moscow are forming in the municipalities of New Moscow located along the Moscow ring road (MKAD) and main radial highways, while large part of the new territories remain a typical countryside with villages and summer residents. Analysis of New Moscow suburban areas reveals the actual land use mosaics obscured by the official delimitation of Moscow and Moscow oblast and the formal division of population into urban and rural.

Разработка современных методов оценки метаболома, таких как хромато-масс-спектрометрия, позволяет существенно расширить представления о липидном обмене в конкретных клинических ситуациях. Целью исследования было изучить особенности липидома у больных с различной вероятностью семейной гиперхолестеринемии (СГХС). В исследовании приняли участие 35 пациентов — 15 мужчин (42,9%) и 20 женщин (57,1%) с дислипидемией или ранними сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями, развившимися в возрасте до 55 лет у мужчин и до 60 лет у женщин. Средний возраст пациентов составил 49,8 ± 9,96 лет. Вероятность семейной дислипидемии оценивали по критериям сети голландских липидных клиник. У 10 пациентов вероятность СГХС оценивали как низкую (1–2 балла), у 22 пациентов диагноз расценивали как вероятную СГХС (3–5 баллов). У 3 пациентов присутствовала возможная или определенная СГХС (2 пациента — 6 баллов, один пациент — 9 баллов). Определение молекулярных видов сфингомиелинов, церамидов и сфингоидных оснований (сфингозина, сфинганина), а также галактозоцерамида проводили методом хромато- масс-спектрометрии. Пациенты с определенной/вероятной СГХС имели достоверно более высокий уровень сфингозина по сравнению с пациентами с низкой клинической вероятностью СГХС (144,36 ± 107,863 и 50,14 ± 62,409 нг/мл; р = 0,01). В случае семейной СГХС отмечали увеличение доли длинноцепочечного сфингомиелина SM 18 : 1/22 : 0 и существенное увеличение уровня церамидов с длинной углеродной цепью С 20 : 1 и С 22 : 1. Была выявлена значимая прямая корреляция уровня липопротеинов низкой плотности (ЛНП) и сфингозина (r = 0,344; p = 0,047) наряду с обратными корреляциями уровня липопротеинов высокой плотности (ЛВП), сфинганина (r = –0,52; p = 0,002) и галактозилцерамида (r = –0,56; p = 0,001). Таким образом, у пациентов с высокой клинической вероятностью СГХС были выявлены изменения липидома, являющиеся маркерами риска сердечно- сосудистых осложнений.

Introduction: The present study aims to investigate the effects of nicotine on foetal loss, postnatal growth and corresponding levels of oestrogen and progesterone in pregnant rats. Method: Subcutaneous injection of nicotine tartrate (7.5 mg/kg/day) was administered to groups of pregnant rats; with treatment scheduled from day 1 through day 5, day 5 through day 9 or day 1 through day 9 of pregnancy. On day 10 of pregnancy, laparotomy was performed to count the number of blastocyst implantation sites. During parturition, the number of viable pups was recounted and statistically compared with the controls. One group of rats which received nicotine from day 1 through day 9 of pregnancy was sacrificed on day 16 of pregnancy, and circulating levels of oestrogen and progesterone were measured. Upon delivery, the birth weight of the pups was measured, and their weights were recorded until weaning. Result: There was a significant increase in foetal loss particularly in rats which received nicotine from day 5 through day 9 and from day 1 through day 9 of pregnancy. There was also significantly lower birth weight of pups in all groups; however, this pattern did not continue until weaning. Plasma oestrogen level was significantly elevated with a significant decrease in the plasma progesterone level. Conclusion: Nicotine administration during pregnancy showed an increase in foetal loss with a corresponding increase in oestrogen and decrease in progesterone levels. Although the birth weight of the pups was low, there was catch-up growth in the pups.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Dental officers could be the first medical personal to diagnose HIV/AIDS and cross–contamination may happen. More efforts should be taken to improve knowledge and the behaviour of dental students towards HIV/AIDS patients. The objective of this study is to assess and compare knowledge and the attitude of USIM dental students towards HIV patients. Methods: A total of 136 dental students from Year 2 to Year 5 of academic year 2017/2018 participated in this study. Students were consented and briefed about the purpose of the current project prior to answering self-administered questionnaires that have been previously validated. Results: The mean total knowledge and attitude score were 69.65% (good) and 68.54(%) (passive), respectively. Both clinical and pre-clinical students have passive attitude towards HIV patients and showed good level of knowledge with 70.81% and 66.39% respectively. There were significant association between sex and knowledge of HIV/AIDS among USIM dental students (p=0.001). There is also a statistically positive weak correlation between knowledge and attitude towards HIV/AIDS patients. Conclusion: USIM dental undergraduates have good knowledge and passive attitude towards HIV/AIDS patients. Improvement of dental curriculum regarding HIV/AIDS knowledge and attitude towards HIV/AIDS patients is recommended through conducting activities such as seminar, workshop and small-group discussion among dental students.

This is a case of a 62-year-old Indian man who was diagnosed with a rare type of lung neuroendocrine tumour (NET) of atypical carcinoid (AC) subtype which comprise only 0.1%–0.2% of pulmonary neoplasms. He initially presented to a private hospital in May 2018 with a 6-month history of chronic productive cough and haemoptysis. Chest X-Ray (CXR), CT scan, bronchoscopy, biopsy and broncho-alveolar lavage were conducted. At this stage, imaging and histopathological investigations were negative for malignancy. Diagnosis of bronchiectasis was made and he was treated with antibiotic and tranexamic acid. Due to financial difficulties, his care was transferred to a university respiratory clinic in June 2018. His condition was monitored with CXR at every visit and treatment with tranexamic acid was continued for 6 months. However, due to persistent haemoptysis, he presented to the university primary care clinic in Dec 2018. Investigations were repeated in January 2019 where his CXR showed increased opacity of the left retrocardiac region and CT scan revealed a left lower lobe endobronchial mass causing collapse with mediastinal lymphadenopathy suggestive of malignancy. Bronchoscopy, biopsy and histopathology confirmed the presence of NET. Although the Ki-67 index was low, the mitotic count, presence of necrosis and evidence of liver metastases favoured the diagnosis of AC. A positron emission tomography Ga-68 DONATOC scan showed evidence of somatostatin receptor avid known primary malignancy in the lungs with suspicions of liver metastasis. He was subsequently referred to the oncology team and chemotherapy was initiated. This case highlights the challenge in diagnosis and management of patients with AC. Physicians ought to be vigilant and have a high index of suspicion in patients who present with persistent symptoms on multiple visits. Early diagnosis of NET would prevent metastasis and provide better prognosis. Continuous follow-up shared care between primary care and secondary care physicians is also essential to provide ongoing psychosocial support for patients with NET, especially those with metastatic disease.

Kegiatan bermain di usia anak dan remaja tidak dapat dipisahkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Di usia tersebut bagi mereka bermain adalah kegiatan yang membuat mereka bahagia dan sangat menyenangkan. Namun bermain bukan hanya untuk kesenangan semata melainkan juga bermanfaat bagi tumbuh dan kembang anak. Di masa inilah melalui permainan anak dapat meningkatkan kognisi serta belajar untuk bersosialisasi membangun kerjasama dengan orang lain.Setiap anak seharusnya memiliki waktu yang cukup banyak untuk bermain namun berbeda dengan apa yang dialami oleh ABH LPKA Bandung. Dikarenakan mereka sedang berhadapan dengan hukum maka waktu bermain mereka tidak sebanyak anak dan remaja lainnya. Mereka juga hanya bersosialisasi dengan lingkungan LPKA. Hal ini memungkinkan membuat mereka merasa sedih dan membuat perkembangan kognitif mereka terhambat sehingga akan membuat fungsi kognitif yang tidak sesuai. Dengan begitu maka terbentuklah kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini. Tim kami akan membantu memberikan permainan yang menyenangkan bagi mereka melalui Recreation Skill Group dimana kegiatan ini akan membantu ABH dalam meningkatkan fungsi kognitif dan menggantikan rasa bosan mereka menjadi keceriaan. Kegiatan ini dilakukan melalui 3 tahap, yaitu : (1) Pengajuan izin dan pemberitahuan informasi mengenai LPKA; (2) Mempersiapkan permainan dan alat yang digunakan; (3) Pelaksanaan kegiatan yang melakukan tiga permainan. Play activities at the age of children and adolescents can not be separated from everyday life. At this age playing is an activity that makes them happy. But playing is not just for fun but also beneficial for the growth and development of children. At this time, children's play can improve their cognition and learn to socialize in order to build cooperation with others.Every child should have enough time to play but it is different from what is experienced by ABH LPKA Bandung. Because they are dealing with the law their play time is not as much as other children and teenagers. They also only socialize within the LPKA environment. This instills in them great sadness and their cognitive functions are not well developed. This was why these community service activities were formed. Our team will help provide fun games for them through the Recreation Skill Group where this activity will help ABH improve cognitive function and replace their boredom into joy. This activity is carried out through 3 stages, namely: (1) Submission of permits and notification of information regarding LPKA; (2) Preparing the game and the tools that will be used; (3) Implementation of activities.

Osteosarcoma is the bone tumor that most commonly affects children and adolescents. Before the introduction of polychemotherapy > 90% of patients with osteosarcoma died from pulmonary metastases. Despite development of new protocols of therapy in 30–40% of patients the disease is recurrent, more than 80% of them detected pulmonary metastasis. In this review we discussed the problems of detection of metastatic lung lesions and current approaches of methods of detection and marking of small sized metastatic lung lesions. An additional option in the treatment of lung metastases is intraoperative isolated lung perfusion, surgical approaches of which were also discussed.
