Authors: Du Weiwei , Yu Qibo
Published: April 2023

At present, the state’s financial aid for students from financially disadvantaged families is increasing, and the number of students receiving financial aid is also increasing substantially. Poor students have to run back and forth to submit various materials while busy with their own studies, which causes a lot of inconvenience to students and teachers. The development of the poverty-stricken student precision funding platform frees teachers from tedious and low-end work and engages in core affairs, which improves the overall efficiency of school affairs and the controllability of information. In this context, this paper uses computer intelligence technology to realize the construction of the precise funding platform for impoverished students in colleges and universities (CAU) and completes the following tasks: (1) the research status of precise funding for impoverished students in CAU at home and abroad is introduced. (2) The SSI frame structure diagram of the funding information management platform is designed and the specific function description and detailed design of the relevant modules are given. (3) The module function test and system function test of the platform designed in this paper are completed through experiments. The results show that the system is very stable, and the functions are perfectly realized.

Published: April 2023

The expansion of the scale of the Power Internet of Things stimulated by the development of the Energy Internet makes the growth in demand for the effective authentication and access control technologies in the cross-domain data exchange. Based on the cross-chain technology of the blockchain and the cuckoo filter, this paper proposes a cross-domain authentication scheme for Power Internet of Things. Firstly, a cross-chain authentication architecture is established. Combined with the existing authentication technologies used in intra-domain authentication, a cross-domain authentication process based on the cross-chain technology is proposed to realize the automatic transmission of the authentication credentials from application domain to authentication domain. The cuckoo filter is deployed on the blockchain as smart contracts, and the user certificate fingerprint is inserted into the filter to realize user registration, query, and revocation, which reduces the cost of the user certificate management. Experimental results show the effectiveness and feasibility of our scheme. Based on the proposed authentication scheme, a cross-domain access control scheme based on roles and object classes is presented, by treating the object classes as controlled objects and then applying the role-based access control to the object classes, on the condition that the heterogeneous domains in the Energy Internet have the same kinds of resources.

Authors: Tang Hui , Lu Jing , Duan Yazhuo , Li Dejun
Published: April 2023

Background. Neuropathic pain is a complex sort of pain that is detrimental to individuals’ health, both physically and mentally, but merely a small portion of them could witness pain alleviation. Mirogabalin, by distinctive binding characteristics of voltage-gated calcium channels, has won approval from the Japanese authority as a third member of gabapentinoids in Japan. Our review was aimed at encompassing the bulk of clinical research on mirogabalin, which included clinical trials, special considerations, coadministration studies, case reports, and cost-effectiveness studies. Methods. A review was carried out on a series of platforms, such as PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus, up to December 2021 using the keywords as follows: “mirogabalin OR mirogabalin besylate OR Tarlige OR DS-5565” AND “neuropathic pain OR Neuropathy.” Results. Mirogabalin demonstrated analgesic activity and manageable adverse reactions and provides a new alternative for individuals with PHN or DPNP in 3 phase II and 4 III trials. Mirogabalin alleviated pain markedly in comparison with placebo. Administration of mirogabalin on a long-term basis is a flexible dosage regimen for patients with PHN. It is noteworthy that mirogabalin should be administrated cautiously when combined with probenecid and cimetidine on account of a slight increase in pharmacodynamics effects of mirogabalin. Conclusion. The development of mirogabalin allows further optimization of individual treatment strategies so as to provide more therapeutic choices in this medical domain.

Authors: Ma Xiaoxue , He Wangkai , Gao Yan
Published: April 2023

In view of the problem of long migration time and low availability of VM (virtual machine) migration in MD (mobile devices) in the MEC (mobile edge computing) environment, this paper designs a MD2N (Mobile Device to Network) model. This model no longer uploads requests to the cloud center, but centers on the edge server, scheduling and selecting migration services through the communication between the servers. And, a virtual machine migration strategy based on Markov decision and greedy algorithm is proposed. Model the edge server based on its geographic location, imitating the traditional cellular network method, and then the improved greedy algorithm is used to dynamically select the best edge device to migrate VM. Simulation and comparison experiments show that the proposed scheme has small migration fluctuations, stable migration status, short migration time, low average time delay, and high virtual machine migration availability after migration.

Authors: Mi Zhaoguo , Chen Zhenhua , Yang Weihua
Published: April 2023

SiC fiber-reinforced silicon matrix (SiCf/SiC) composites are of significant interest for the aircraft engine. The thermal conductive behaviors of [0-90-0]s SiCf/SiC composites along in-plane and out-of-plane (thickness) directions were reported in this paper. The thermal conductivity of the SiCf/SiC composite was tested by using the steady-state measuring apparatus. Then, the thermal conductivity of the SiC matrix was predicted by finite element analysis (FEA). The representative volume element (RVE) models of SiCf/SiC composites were built, and FEA was used to investigate thermal conductive behaviors. It was found that the thermal conductivity along the fiber radial direction was greater than it was in the axial direction in the SiCf/SiC composite and that the thermal conductivity of the out-of-plane direction is lower than that of the in-plane one. The thermal conductivity of the SiCf/SiC composite in the in-plane direction at room temperature was 31.1 Wm−1K−1 and 28.5 Wm−1K−1, and the thermal conductivity in the thickness direction was 24.9 Wm−1K−1. The experimental thermal conductivity showed a good agreement with the thermal conductivity of FEA.

The life cycle of the invasive alien insect pest, fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), was studied using a colony established from field-collected larvae. Eggs, neonate larvae, and newly emerged adult moths were used in experiments to investigate the basic biology of the FAW. Adult females laid up to 1184 eggs with a mean of 469 ± 22 eggs per female. The incubation period of eggs and percentage hatchability were 2-3 days and 80–87%, respectively. The mean larval lengths from the first to the sixth instar were 4.63, 6.60, 9.76, 15.86, 25.13, and 27.81 mm, respectively. The mean larval weights were 0.003, 0.019, 0.045, 0.050, 0.060, and 0.067 g, respectively, for the six instars. The mean width of the head capsule of the sixth instar larva was 2.76 mm. The total larval duration throughout the six instar stages was 16–18 days, while the mean pupal weight was 0.25 ± 0.001 g and 0.35 ± 0.011 g for males and females, respectively. The mean pupal length was 14.3 ± 0.16 mm for males and 17.2 ± 0.14 mm for females. Pupal duration ranged from 8 to 14 days, with a mean of 10.35 ± 0.26 days, while the pupal emergence rate ranged from 60 to 94%, with a mean of 80.25 ± 1.28%. The life cycle of males lasted 33–44 days and that of females lasted 36–49 days under laboratory conditions. Adult copulation occurred between 8 and 11 pm, with the peak occurring at 9 pm. This study provides baseline information about the biology of the FAW. Apart from being an important reference point for future research on the FAW, the data provided would aid FAW management decision-making.
[Retracted] Design of Regression Model for MultiParameter Evaluation of English Pronunciation Quality
Authors: Chen Ke
Published: April 2023

In order to better evaluate the quality of English pronunciation, this paper proposes a regression model design method based on multiparameter evaluation of English pronunciation quality. This method takes college students’ English pronunciation as the research object. Through the combination of various algorithms, a speech recognition model based on a machine learning neural network is constructed with characteristic parameters as input, and a speech quality evaluation model based on multiple regression is constructed with multiparameters such as intonation, speed, rhythm, and intonation as evaluation indicators. The experimental results show that log posterior probability and GOP are good measures of pronunciation standard. When used alone, a higher correlation with manual scores can be obtained, and the correlation of both exceeds 0.5. GOP has the best performance, with a correlation of 0.549. The combination of these two pronunciation standard evaluation features can further improve the evaluation performance, and the correlation degree reaches 0.574. Compared with the GOP algorithm with better performance, the evaluation performance is improved by 4.6%. Conclusion. The model provides a scientific basis for oral English speech recognition and objective evaluation of pronunciation quality.
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Salivary Glands: A Ten-Year Review and an Assessment of the Current Management, Surgery, Radiotherapy, and Chemotherapy
Authors: Saleh Eyad , Ukwas Abdouldaim
Published: April 2023

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer that arises from the salivary glands and other sites in the body, such as the lung and breast. Although the tumor accounts for 10% of all salivary gland malignancies, it only accounts for 1% of head and neck malignancies. It can affect both major and minor salivary glands; here, it is called salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma or SACC, with a slight predilection to the latter, and commonly manifests between the 6th and 7th decades of life. The disease also shows a slight female predilection, with a reported female to male ratio of 3 : 2. Lesions of SACC are often insidious and slow-growing, and symptoms such as pain and altered sensation are frequently associated with advanced stages of the disease. Salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma is characterized by perineural invasion (PNI), a distinctive feature that potentially plays a significant role in the tumor’s relapse and recurrence, which is approximately 50%. The disease is not prevalent, and its etiopathogenesis is poorly understood, although several genetic patterns and biomarkers have been linked to its initiation and/or progression. The discovery of these mutations and biomarkers has encouraged several clinical studies to use therapeutic agents to target the specific receptors on the cancer cells to potentially prevent further proliferation of the tumor cells and metastasis of the disease. Diagnosis of SACC is often challenging and frequently requires a combination of clinical examination, imaging, and histopathology. Management of SACC is primarily surgical excision, while radiotherapy has shown to be effective in improving local control in cases with microscopic residual disease. However, treatment of recurrent or metastatic tumors by radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy has so far shown limited success. The aim of this thesis is to provide an update of literature on SACC with a particular focus on the latest management approaches and future trends.

Introduction. Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Regardless of many efforts made to control tuberculosis, the disease remains to be a major public health problem. Nonadherence to antituberculosis treatment poses a challenge to the disease treatment as it potentially increases the risk of drug resistance, mortality, relapse, and extended infectiousness. The North Shewa Zone had a poor performed on TB control status, so this study assessed the prevalence of antituberculosis drug nonadherence and its associated factors at governmental health institutions in Debre Berhan town, North Shewa Zone, Ethiopia, 2020. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed. A total of 180 tuberculosis patients were included in the study. The data was entered using EpiData version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 20.0 for statistical analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were computed to determine factor associated with antituberculosis drug nonadherence. Result. Study finding shows that 26.0% respondents were nonadherent to their antituberculosis treatment. Respondents who were married were less likely to be nonadherent than who were single (

In recent few years, flying ad hoc networks are utilized more for interconnectivity. In the topological scenario of FANETs, IoT nodes are available on ground where UAVs collect information. Due to high mobility patterns of UAVs cause disruption where intruders easily deploy cyberattacks like DoS/DDoS. Flying ad hoc networks use to have UAVs, satellite, and base station in the physical structure. IoT-based UAV networks are having many applications which include agriculture, rescue operations, tracking, and surveillance. However, DoS/DDoS attacks disturb the behaviour of entire FANET which lead to unbalance energy, end-to-end delay, and packet loss. This research study is focused about the detail study of machine learning-based IDS. Also, cognitive lightweight-LR approach is modeled using UNSW-NB 15 dataset. IoT-based UAV network is introduced using machine learning to detect possible security attacks. The queuing and data traffic model is utilized to implement DT, RF, XGBoost, AdaBoost, Bagging and logistic regression in the environment of IoT-based UAV network. Logistic regression is the proposed approach which is used to estimate statistical possibility. Overall, experimentation is based on binomial distribution. There exists linear association approach in logistic regression. In comparison with other techniques, logistic regression behaviour is lightweight and low cost. The simulation results presents logistic regression better results in contrast with other techniques. Also, high accuracy is balanced well in optimal way.
Active Control Experiments on a Smart Robotic Glass with End-Point Control for Parkinson’s Patients
Authors: Ayana Esra Kaya , Kılıç Mehmet , Yaşar Claudia F. , Engin Şeref Naci
Published: April 2023

This paper describes a robotic system that uses an actively controlled glass to help patients with tremors. End-point control is proposed for the upper part of a robotic device that becomes active in response to motion changes or vibrations of its holder. The device mechanisms, hardware, software, and sensory system are all integrated, presenting a novel robotic glass design. The control system consists of two degrees of freedom proportional–integral velocity regulators for direct current motors. These regulators are designed, implemented, and tuned to keep the robotic glass stable against changes in its position. In realizing direct current motor control, it is essential to take system constraints into consideration to develop regulators that can handle the nonlinear Coulomb friction and avoid operating in the saturation zone. This is crucial when designing, tuning, and implementing regulators for real-time applications. The computer simulations of the system, which involved developing and running all the control algorithms for real-time applications, are carried out in Matlab/Simulink. The proposed designs are validated by comparing system simulations to real-time physical experiments. The recorded results confirmed the outstanding performance of the proposed experimental platform mechanisms and the accurate control tracking, which provides fast and precise control responses to meet the high requirements of a fast end-point control application.

Published: April 2023

In recent years, an increasing number of mobile platforms and applications have adopted traffic encryption protocol technology to ensure privacy and security. Existing researches on encrypted traffic identification approaches often rely on a single-modal feature pattern (such as packet sequence and statistical features), which cannot fully represent the detail information of complex traffic features, and so their predictions are susceptible to anomalies. In order to improve the effect of classification on encrypted app traffic, we propose FusionTC, a novel app traffic classification framework based on feature fusion of flow sequence. FusionTC consists of two-level subclassifiers, which are used to perform decision-level fusion of multimodal features by an upgraded stacking method. The comprehensive capture and fusion of multimodal traffic details, coupled with the refined processing and segmentation of traffic, enables FusionTC to significantly promote classification accuracy and enhance robustness in challenging situations. Based on our self-built app traffic dataset, FusionTC improves the accuracy by at least 3.2% over the state-of-the-art approaches.

Published: April 2023

Aluminum metal matrix composites (AMCs) have been employed in automobile manufacturing to reduce weight. Also this research concentrates on the tribological performances on the processed AMCs by the stir casting liquefying method. The aluminum alloy Al2024 was employed to nanoparticles of aluminum oxide for the preparation of AMCs with constant processing condition of stirring speed to produce the homogeneous dispersion. The processed composites were further investigated to identify the wear characteristics. Therefore, the dry sliding condition was achieved on the processed composites. The input parameters of dry sliding conditions are sliding distance, functional load, and sliding velocity, and the output characteristics are wear rate and coefficient of friction (COF). Those input parameters are framed by the Taguchi L9 array and parameters were further employed to optimize with grey relational analysis. From the L9 parameters, the better wear rate and COF were accumulated in the following parameter: 2,100 mm of sliding distance, 25 N of functional load, and 2.5 m/s of sliding velocity, respectively. Then the wear rates and COF values are subjected to produce the predicted responses with supporting of artificial neural network. Most of the predicted values are much higher than the actual wear response vales. The wear resistance of all the samples composed better performances with dispersion of nanoaluminum oxide particles on the Al2024 alloy.

Published: April 2023

COVID-19 poses significant risks to global education. It has shifted traditional learning in the classroom to remote learning at home. The Department of Education initiated a continuity plan in the Philippines that applies a remote learning approach. In remote learning, parents became active participants by being solid scaffolds for their children's learning at home. Through a phenomenological design, the study explored the lived experiences of parents during the pandemic times. The data was gathered through one-on-one interviews with each of the six parent participants, with strict observance of basic IATF protocols like mask-wearing and social distancing. The collected responses were transcribed, examined, coded, and broken down into themes. After data analysis, three significant themes emerged: the description of parents' experiences in scaffolding their children's remote learning, the help extended by the parents to minimize academic stress, and the effects of remote learning on their children's education. The analyzed data revealed that parents became successful scaffolders amid the struggles and lack thereof. Furthermore, parents realized that, while remote learning may not be the best option for their children due to demotivation in learning, it is one way to keep their children safe while learning. Based on the findings, significant measures may be adopted by the Department of Education, teachers, parents, and future researchers, particularly in enhancing modules and learning environments that are more learner-centered.

The DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) is a nationwide initiative to provide public elementary schools with computers and other ICT equipment to enhance the teaching and learning process. However, the effectiveness of this program and its impact on the computer literacy level of school personnel have yet to be fully explored. This study attempted to fill this gap by examining the perceptions of the school personnel of public elementary schools in the Bohol Division of the Department of Education about the DCP implementation and its relation to their computer literacy level and the problems they encountered in using the ICT equipment in the school year 2020–2021. The study also investigated the influence of the school personnel's profile on their computer literacy level and the problems they encountered. Results revealed that the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) is highly effective, and the computer literacy of school personnel is very satisfactory. There is a significant relationship between the effectiveness of DCP and the problems encountered by school personnel. The computer literacy of school personnel is also significantly related to their years of teaching, specialized training attended, and age. The problems encountered by school personnel are significantly related to their age, gender, years of teaching, specialized training attended, IPCRF rating and DCP packages received. The study concludes that the implementation of DCP and the computer literacy of school personnel are congruent based on the data gathered, despite the problems encountered.

Published: April 2023

Cabbage is (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) a popular leafy vegetable in Nepal, but depleted soil fertility and inefficient production techniques can limit productivity. To address this, we conducted a study in the Jumla district of Karnali Province, Nepal during the 2022 main cropping season. We evaluated the impact of different organic fertilizers on the growth and yield of cabbage using a Randomized Complete Block Design with seven treatments and three replications with the hybrid cultivar 'Green Coronet'. The treatments included Farm Yard Manure, Poultry Manure, FYM + Vermicompost, Vermicompost, Black Wonder, FYM + Poultry Manure, and Sheep Manure. The parameters, including plant height, stem diameter, leaf length and width, head weight, polar and equatorial diameter, head circumference, root and shoot weight, and weight of the head (g) of cabbage were taken for measurement. Our findings showed that organic fertilizers significantly influenced the growth and yield of cabbage, with Vermicompost showing the most potential as a nutrient source for achieving higher growth and yield. The Vermicompost treatment resulted in the largest size of cabbage head (1026 g), while the Farm Yard Manure and Poultry Manure treatments had limited impact. Our results suggest that the use of organic fertilizers such as Vermicompost can lead to higher cabbage production, improved soil fertility, and reduced reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This has significant implications for promoting sustainable agriculture practices, improving food security, and providing economic benefits for farmers and communities in Nepal and beyond.

(analítico)El artículo de investigación tiene por objetivo develar el tipo de enfoque de inclusión educativa que subyace en las leyes, políticas y orientaciones publicadas en Chile entre 1980 y 2021, cuando estas s refieren a estudiantes migrantes. El estudio cualitativo desarrolla un diseño documental que analiza 22 documentos accesados desde la web de los Ministerios del Interior y Seguridad Pública y de Educación. Los resultados dan cuenta de la inespecificidad con la realidad escolar migrante, especialmente en el cuerpo legal, donde se evidencia solo enfoque educativo tendiente a la integración y de interculturalidad funcional. En algunas orientaciones, que intentan promover la valoración de la diversidad cultural, se avanza hacia una interculturalidad crítica. En conclusión, esta divergencia e inespecificidad dejan en un interrogante la inclusión educativa del alumnado migrante en Chile.

Jóvenes y educación superior en el Cono Sur de América
Authors: Baeza-Correa Jorge , Albuccó-Henríquez José
Published: April 2023

(analítico)Con la finalidad de conocer la experiencia de ser joven hoy en la educación superior en Argentina, Chile o Uruguay, se realiza un análisis temático a 54 artículos de los últimos tres años en WoS, Scopus y Scielo. Por intermedio de un trabajo inductivo y reflexivo, se identifican patrones comunes en las fuentes de análisis, que permiten identificar siete temas que dan cuenta de una transición: ampliación de cobertura, pero sin inclusión; facilidad al ingreso, pero con incertidumbre al egreso; cambios en los roles de género, pero manteniéndose el machismo; valoración de la salud, pero con conductas de riesgo; preocupación por los otros, pero con individualismo; valoración del movimiento estudiantil, pero con cambios en sus manifestaciones y tránsito de lo presencial a lo virtual, acelerado por covid-19.

Este estudo buscou, através da leitura dos relatos de viagem, conhecer as paisagens do interior do Brasil no século XIX, além do cotidiano das populações. Os resultados foram agrupados em categorias e indicam semelhanças nas experiências de campo, assim como no captar das diferentes paisagens naturais e antrópicas.
Slippery stereotypes – hair and the aesthetics of race in Brazil
Authors: Mizrahi Mylene
Published: April 2023

Motivated by disputes between Blacks and Whites I analyze strategies to address racism in the 2010’s. A study of Black women’s hairstyles identified explicit modes of claiming race and questions if there has been a change of paradigms. Subsequent research in schools about the proper aesthetic reveals miscegenational ideals. Slips in the meanings of stereotypes display aesthetics in its performative dimensions, triggered either to exercise or confront racism. The examination of hairstyles reveals constant tension between change and permanence and a non-harmonious conviviality between racial concepts in Brazil.

Entre liberdade e prisão, estratégias para lidar com o regionalismo na arte moderna pernambucana
Authors: Lima Pedro Ernesto Freitas
Published: April 2023

Regional como opção, regional como prisão: trajetórias artísticas no modernismo pernambucano (2022), de Eduardo Dimitrov, se debruça sobre trajetórias de artistas pernambucanos, entre as décadas de 1920 e 1970, para compreender, a partir de uma série de eventos, agentes e instituições, a constituição de uma “régua” regionalista que passou a constituir parâmetro para a legitimação de artistas e obras. A resenha se detém sobre como artistas e outros agentes elaboraram estratégias para lidar com essas convenções, destacando a reverberação dessa problemática na produção contemporânea.
Choque cultural, notas sobre uma entrevista de Celso Furtado a Zelito Viana, 1975
Authors: Bianconi Renata , Ribeiro Maria Alice Rosa
Published: April 2023

Este artigo traz algumas notas sobre o curta-metragem Choque cultural, dirigido por Zelito Viana, cujo fio condutor é a histórica entrevista de Celso Furtado ao diretor no Rio de Janeiro em 1975. Contextualizamos a entrevista e as circunstâncias que os reuniram. Sem a pretensão de fazer crítica cinematográfica, conectamos a fala de Furtado e as imagens do filme de Zelito e relacionamos as reflexões de Furtado na entrevista a suas obras publicadas no período em torno da realização do curta-metragem e nas décadas de 1980 e 1990.
Pequena biografia política de Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Castro Gustavo de , Jubé Andrea
Published: April 2023

Este artigo investiga a biografia política de João Guimarães Rosa (1908-1967) a partir da hipótese de Willi Bolle (2004) de que o escritor seria “politicamente reacionário”. Analisamos entrevistas, material de arquivo, cartas e jornais para demonstrar as relações da família Guimarães e do autor com partidos, personalidades políticas e seu apoio ao golpe de 1964. Nossa conclusão é de que a visão de mundo do escritor aproxima-se do conservadorismo político.
O silêncio sinfônico da floresta. Geofonia, biofonia e antropofonia em A selva, de Ferreira de Castro
Authors: Bacchini Luca
Published: April 2023

A selva (1930), de Ferreira de Castro, é um romance baseado num conhecimento profundo da floresta, que, no plano narrativo, se traduz numa aposta sem precedentes na atividade de escuta. A partir de algumas sugestões desenvolvidas no âmbito dos Sound studies, o presente ensaio busca elaborar uma reflexão sobre a paisagem sonora em A selva, destacando a interação entre sons de origem biológica (biofonia e antropofonia) e não biológica (geofonia), na convicção de que, para compreender a floresta, é necessário antes de tudo saber ouvir e interpretar seus sons e seus silêncios.
A New Clinical Prediction Rule for Infective Endocarditis in Emergency Department Patients With Fever: Definition and First Validation of the CREED Score

Background

Infective endocarditis (IE) could be suspected in any febrile patients admitted to the emergency department (ED). This study was aimed at assessing clinical criteria predictive of IE and identifying and prospectively validating a sensible and easy‐to‐use clinical prediction score for the diagnosis of IE in the ED.

Methods and Results

We conducted a retrospective observational study, enrolling consecutive patients with fever admitted to the ED between January 2015 and December 2019 and subsequently hospitalized. Several clinical and anamnestic standardized variables were collected and evaluated for the association with IE diagnosis. We derived a multivariate prediction model by logistic regression analysis. The identified predictors were assigned a score point value to obtain the Clinical Rule for Infective Endocarditis in the Emergency Department (CREED) score. To validate the CREED score we conducted a prospective observational study between January 2020 and December 2021, enrolling consecutive febrile patients hospitalized after the ED visit, and evaluating the association between the CREED score values and the IE diagnosis. A total of 15 689 patients (median age, 71 [56–81] years; 54.1% men) were enrolled in the retrospective cohort, and IE was diagnosed in 267 (1.7%). The CREED score included 12 variables: male sex, anemia, dialysis, pacemaker, recent hospitalization, recent stroke, chest pain, specific infective diagnosis, valvular heart disease, valvular prosthesis, previous endocarditis, and clinical signs of suspect endocarditis. The CREED score identified 4 risk groups for IE diagnosis, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.874 (0.849–0.899). The prospective cohort included 13 163 patients, with 130 (1.0%) IE diagnoses. The CREED score had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.881 (0.848–0.913) in the validation cohort, not significantly different from the one calculated in the retrospective cohort (
P
=0.578).

Conclusions

In this study, we propose and prospectively validate the CREED score, a clinical prediction rule for the diagnosis of IE in patients with fever admitted to the ED. Our data reflect the difficulty of creating a meaningful tool able to identify patients with IE among this general and heterogeneous population because of the complexity of the disease and its low prevalence in the ED setting.
Sex Differences in Midterm Prognostic Implications of High Platelet Reactivity After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Drug‐Eluting Stents in East Asian Patients: Results From the PTRG‐DES (Platelet Function and Genotype‐Related Long‐Term Prognosis in Drug‐Eluting Stent–Treated Patients With Coronary Artery Disease) Consortium

Background

Although high platelet reactivity (HPR) on clopidogrel is associated with higher ischemic events and lower bleeding events in patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention with drug‐eluting stents, the differential risk of HPR in East Asian women versus men is unknown.

Methods and Results

We compared 11 714 patients enrolled in the PTRG‐DES (Platelet Function and Genotype‐Related Long‐Term Prognosis in Drug‐Eluting Stent–Treated Patients With Coronary Artery Disease) Consortium according to sex and the presence/absence of HPR on clopidogrel (defined as ≥252 P2Y12 reactivity units). The primary study end point was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs; comprising all‐cause mortality, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, and stent thrombosis). HPR was more common in women (46.7%) than in men (28.1%). In propensity‐adjusted models, HPR was an independent predictor of MACCEs (men with HPR: hazard ratio [HR], 1.60 [95% CI, 1.20–2.12]; women with HPR: HR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.69–1.42]) and all‐cause mortality (men with HPR: HR, 1.61 [95% CI, 1.07–2.44]; women with HPR: HR, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.57–1.50]) in men, although those associations were insignificant among women. In addition, a significant interaction between sex was noted in the associations between HPR and MACCE (
P
interaction
=0.013) or all‐cause mortality (
P
interaction
=0.025).

Conclusions

In this study, HPR was a differential risk factor for 1‐year MACCEs and all‐cause mortality in women and men. And it was an independent predictor of 1‐year MACCEs and all‐cause mortality in men but not in women.
