Priority Setting in Health Care with Disease and Treatment Risks
Authors: Tao Yuqing , Cheng Wen , Zou Sijie
Published: January 2019

This paper deals with the issue of priority setting in health care under uncertainties about the severity of the illness and the effectiveness of medical treatment. We examine the effect of a disease uncertainty (a treatment uncertainty) on the allocation of health care resources in the presence of a treatment risk (a disease risk) and identify preference conditions under which the social planner allocates more resources to higher risk population. We allow for the simultaneous presence of two risks and investigate the joint effect of two-source uncertainties on health care allocation when the two risks are either small or positively quadrant dependent. The effect of inequality aversion on health care allocation is also analyzed by introducing an equity weighting function. Our work extends the previous model of health care priority to two-risk framework and provides new insights into the problem of health care decision making under uncertainty.
Access Copyright and Fair Dealing Guidelines in Higher Educational Institutions in Canada: A Survey
Authors: Henderson Serena , McGreal Rory , Vladimirschi Viviane
Published: January 2019

Information about the acceptance by Canadian Higher Education Institutions (HEI) of the Access Copyright (AC) tariff is important for educators even though only a minority of HEIs in Canada have committed to the AC tariff. In addition, the copyright “pentalogy,” the five major decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC), and its interpretation of fair dealing has become relevant for the institutions, faculty and students. Many universities and community colleges in Canada have adopted the Universities Canada (UC) guidelines on fair dealing, while some have adopted the “six-point test” as their guideline. In some cases, institutions have not adopted any policy or guidelines on any aspect of copyright. This paper will investigate these issues to provide one view of the behaviour Canadian HEIs exhibit in their adherence to AC and their use of policy and guidelines at their institutions.

Authors: Zamané Hyacinthe , Sow Hyacinthe Euvrard , Kain Dantola Paul , Bicaba Brice Wilfried , Kiemtoré Sibraogo , Yameogo Issaka , Bonané-Thieba Blandine , Sawadogo Mamadou
Published: January 2019

Background: Maternal mortality is of considerable magnitude. It is particularly relevant to developing countries, including those in Sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this work was to study the cases of maternal deaths in the Dori Regional Hospital, Burkina Faso in the Sahel region, by analyzing the epidemiological aspects of these deaths in order to guide decision-making.

Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study which spanned the period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016. Cases of maternal death and live births that occurred in the hospital during this period were collected by documentary review.

Results: A total of 141 maternal deaths and 2,626 live births were recorded with a maternal mortality ratio of 5,369 for 100,000 live births. In 99 (72.20%) cases, death occurred in the postpartum. A home delivery had been reported in 33.70% of cases. Direct obstetric causes were found in 72.10% of cases. They were mainly represented by infections (32.40%) and hemorrhages (23%). Anemia was the indirect cause of death in 25 women (17.80%). The delay in health care access and the lack of blood products contributed to maternal deaths in 64.50% and 26.20% of cases.

Conclusion and Global Health Implications: An intensification of awareness-raising messages about the importance of the rapid use of health care is necessary. Also, systematic audits of maternal deaths in the care environment and in the community would make it possible to clarify the determinants of maternal mortality in the Sahel region and to provide adequate solutions.

Key words: Maternal Death • Maternal Mortality • Women’s Health • Burkin Faso • Dori Hospital • Sahel Region

Authors: Araújo Denise Silva , Malta de Sá Helvécio Goulart , Brzezinski Iria
Published: January 2019

Pretende-se, neste trabalho, analisar um dos marcos estruturantes da produtividade na formação dos professores da educação profissional, para compreender a ideologia que fundamentou o trabalho docente nessa modalidade de ensino, nas décadas de 1940 a 1960. A Escola Técnica de Goiânia é o campo empírico de investigação. À época, não se exigia qualquer formação pedagógica dos professores que atuavam no ensino profissional. De modo geral, eram egressos do ensino técnico e/ou bacharéis em diferentes áreas do conhecimento. Destaca-se a atuação da Comissão Brasileira-Americana de Ensino Industrial na formação desses docentes que demarcou uma identidade profissional produtivista e americanista.

Lei de responsabilidade educacional no Brasil (2006-2015): das promessas de qualidade da educação às incertezas
Authors: Souza Allan Solano , Cabral Neto Antônio
Published: January 2019

O Brasil não possui, uma lei de responsabilidade educacional, entretanto a oficialização sobre a sua concepção se deu no ano de 2006, com a apresentação do Projeto de Lei nº 7.420/2006, na Câmara dos Deputados. O objetivo deste artigo consiste em analisar os caminhos, as expectativas e tensões trilhados até o ano de 2015, demonstrando as relações e mediações desse processo. Para o corpus da pesquisa, foram utilizados, como procedimentos, a revisão de literatura e a análise documental, que delineiam as bases da proposta de política de responsabilidade educacional. Como resultado, é possível destacar que, subjacente a essa lógica, existe, majoritariamente, uma concepção de responsabilização como sinônimo de “culpabilização” dos gestores públicos pelos resultados educacionais.

Authors: DURAN Ayşe
Published: January 2019

In this study, the magnetic properties of Ni50Mn36Sn14 Heusler alloy (NiMnSn-HA) with the antiferromagnetic interaction between Mn2 and Sn1 components were investigated by using Kaneyoshi approach within the effective field theory. NiMnSn-HA and its components display the second order phase transition. Its Mn2 component also exhibit a weak first order at Tt and a fluctuating hysteresis behavior below Tt. While NiMnSn-HA and its components show a hard magnetic characteristic below Tt. They are soft magnetic as the temperature approaches to TC. It can be said that these behaviors are due to antiferromagnetic interaction between Mn2 and Sn1 components.

Structural Insights into Azole-based Inhibitors of Heme Oxygenase-1: Development of Selective Compounds for Therapeutic Applications
Authors: Rahman Mona N. , Vukomanovic Dragic , Vlahakis Jason Z. , Szarek Walter A. , Nakatsu Kanji , Jia Zongchao
Published: January 2019

The development of isozyme-selective heme oxygenase (HO) inhibitors promises
powerful pharmacological tools to elucidate the regulatory characteristics of the HO system. It
is already known that HO has cytoprotective properties with a role in several disease states;
thus, it is an enticing therapeutic target. Historically, the metalloporphyrins have been used as
competitive HO inhibitors based on their structural similarity to the substrate, heme. However,
heme’s important role in several other proteins (e.g. cytochromes P450, nitric oxide synthase),
results in non-selectivity being an unfortunate side effect. Reports that azalanstat and
other non-porphyrin molecules inhibited HO led to a multi-faceted effort over a decade ago to
develop novel compounds as potent, selective inhibitors of HO. The result was the creation of
the first generation of non-porphyrin based, non-competitive inhibitors with selectivity for
HO, including a subset with isozyme selectivity for HO-1. Using X-ray crystallography, the
structures of several complexes of HO-1 with novel inhibitors have been elucidated and provided
insightful information regarding the salient features required for inhibitor binding. This
included the structural basis for non-competitive inhibition, flexibility and adaptability of the
inhibitor binding pocket, and multiple, potential interaction subsites, all of which can be exploited
in future drug-design strategies. Notably, HO-1 inhibitors are of particular interest for
the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia and certain types of cancer. Key features based on this
initial study have already been used by others to discover additional potential HO-1 inhibitors.
Moreover, studies have begun to use selected compounds and determine their effects in some
disease models.

Authors: Zhou Ya-Qun , Liu Dai-Qiang , Chen Shu-Ping , Sun Jia , Zhou Xue-Rong , Xing Cui , Ye Da-Wei , Tian Yu-Ke
Published: January 2019

Background:

Neurological diseases have become an obvious challenge due to insufficient therapeutic intervention. Therefore, novel drugs for various neurological disorders are in desperate need. Recently, compelling evidence has demonstrated that chemokine receptor CXCR3, which is a G protein-coupled receptor in the CXC chemokine receptor family, may play a pivotal role in the development of neurological diseases. The aim of this review is to provide evidence for the potential of CXCR3 as a therapeutic target for neurological diseases.  Methods: English journal articles that focused on the invovlement of CXCR3 in neurological diseases were searched via PubMed up to May 2017. Moreover, reference lists from identified articles were included for overviews.

Results:

The expression level of CXCR3 in T cells was significantly elevated in several neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), glioma, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), chronic pain, human T-lymphotropic virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and bipolar disorder. CXCR3 antagonists showed therapeutic effects in these neurological diseases.

Conclusion:

These studies provided hard evidence that CXCR3 plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of MS, glioma, AD, chronic pain, HAM/TSP and bipolar disorder. CXCR3 is a crucial molecule in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. It regulates the activation of infiltrating cells and resident immune cells. However, the exact functions of CXCR3 in neurological diseases are inconclusive. Thus, it is important to understand the topic of chemokines and the scope of their activity in neurological diseases.

Published: January 2019

Background:

Microbial infections is a global public health problem. The aim of this
work was to synthesize and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of novel triazoles, morpholines and
thiosemicarbazones.

Methods: Compounds were synthesized using 2,4-Dihydroxyacetophenone and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde
as starting materials. The antimicrobial activity of these compounds against bacteria
and yeast was evaluated by the broth microdilution method.

Results:

The proposed route for synthesis gave high to moderate yields, moreover these compounds
were successfully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and LC-MS. Antimicrobial testing
indicated that the thiosemicarbazone and morphine derivatives had the best antimicrobial activity
against the microorganisms tested with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) between 0.29
and 5.30 µM. Thiosemicarbazone derivative (12) was able to inhibit the growth of C. tropicalis,
with minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of 0.55 µM. In addition, this compound was active
against E. coli, S. aureus and S. epidermidis, with MIC values ranging from 0.29 to 1.11 µM.
Moreover, the morpholine derivative (15) had an MIC value of 0.83 µM against C. albicans and
E. coli.

Conclusion:

We have efficiently synthesized a series of eleven novel triazoles, thiosemicarbazones
and morpholine derivatives using 2,4-Dihydroxyacetophenone and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde
as starting materials. Thiosemicarbazone derivative (12) showed promising antifungal and antibacterial
activity and these findings suggest that this compound can be used as scaffolds to design
new antimicrobial drugs.

Authors: Alnofal Fatemah , Aljadani Rawabi , Alqahtani Amani , BinDhim Nasser
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND

According to a Health Information National Trends Survey, people tend to go to the Internet rather than a physician as their first source of health information; although a vast amount of health information is available to empower and educate people, very few master the ability to use this information for their own benefit.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to investigate the levels and demographic determinants of e-health literacy among Saudi adults and to explore their behavior related to health information obtained through the Internet.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted in Saudi Arabia between (November 2017- July 2018) using an electronic questionnaire and including Arabic-speaking Saudi residents aged 18 years and above. The questionnaire included questions about socio-demographic characteristics, Internet and smartphone usage to obtain health information, participants’ behavior toward the obtained information, and eHEALS scores.

RESULTS

A total of 705 participants agreed to take the survey in different regions of Saudi Arabia; 59.4% (410/705) of them were 29 years old or younger, and 60.71% (428/705) of them were female. Majority of the participants 70.22% (441/705) trusted health information obtained from the Internet. Overall, mean e-health literacy was 28.9 ± 6.34, maximum and minimum scores found were 40 and 8, 44.4% (313/705) were found to have high e-health literacy levels. Older participants were more likely to have low e-health literacy levels (P = 0.001), while participants with higher education levels were more likely to have higher e-health literacy levels (P = 0.001). Over half of participants 52.2% (368/705) of the participants had downloaded a health application on their smartphone; sports and physical activity applications were the most-downloaded health applications 73.37% (270/368).

CONCLUSIONS

Considerably high e-health literacy levels were found among the Saudi population. We also found high trust levels in the health information obtained from the Internet. Younger adults and participants with higher education levels were more likely to have higher e-health literacy levels.
Classification and Prediction of Violence Against Chinese Medical Staff on the Sina Microblog Based on a Self-Organizing Map: Quantitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Duan Guimin , Liao Xin , Yu Weiping , Li Guihua
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND

For the last decade, doctor-patient contradiction in China has remained prominent, and workplace violence toward medical staff still occurs frequently. However, little is known about the types and laws of propagation of violence against medical staff online.

OBJECTIVE

By using a self-organizing map (SOM), we aimed to explore the microblog propagation law for violent incidents in China that involve medical staff, to classify the types of incidents and provide a basis for rapidly and accurately predicting trends in public opinion and developing corresponding measures to improve the relationship between doctors and patients.

METHODS

For this study, we selected 60 cases of violent incidents in China involving medical staff that led to heated discussions on the Sina microblog from 2011 to 2018, searched the web data of the microblog using crawler software, recorded the amount of new tweets every 2 hours, and used the SOM neural network to cluster the number of tweets. Polynomial and exponential functions in MATLAB software were applied to predict and analyze the data.

RESULTS

Trends in the propagation of online public opinion regarding the violent incidents were categorized into 8 types: bluff, waterfall, zigzag, steep, abrupt, wave, steep slope, and long slope. The communications exhibited different characteristics. The prediction effect of 4 types of incidents (ie, bluff, waterfall, zigzag, and steep slope) was good and accorded with actual spreading trends.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study found that the more serious the consequences of a violent incident, such as a serious injury or death, the more attention it drew on the microblog, the faster was its propagation speed, and the longer was its duration. In these cases, the propagation types were mostly steep slope, long slope, and zigzag. In addition, the more serious the consequences of a violent incident, the higher popularity it exhibited on the microblog. The popularity within a week was significantly higher for acts resulting from patients’ dissatisfaction with treatments than for acts resulting from nontherapeutic incidents.

Using Telemedicine to Diagnose Surgical Site Infections in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Sandberg Charlotte E J , Knight Stephen R , Qureshi Ahmad Uzair , Pathak Samir
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND

A high burden of preventable morbidity and mortality due to surgical site infections (SSIs) occurs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and most of these SSIs occur following discharge. There is a high loss to follow-up due to a wide geographical spread of patients, and cost of travel can result in delayed and missed diagnoses.

OBJECTIVE

This review analyzes the literature surrounding the use of telemedicine and assesses the feasibility of using mobile phone technology to both diagnose SSIs remotely in LMICs and to overcome social barriers.

METHODS

A literature search was performed using Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Google Scholar. Included were English language papers reporting the use of telemedicine for detecting SSIs in comparison to the current practice of direct clinical diagnosis. Papers were excluded if infections were not due to surgical wounds, or if SSIs were not validated with in-person diagnosis. The primary outcome of this review was to review the feasibility of telemedicine for remote SSI detection.

RESULTS

A total of 404 articles were screened and three studies were identified that reported on 2082 patients across three countries. All studies assessed the accuracy of remote diagnosis of SSIs using predetermined telephone questionnaires. In total, 44 SSIs were accurately detected using telemedicine and an additional 14 were picked up on clinical follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of telemedicine has shown to be a feasible method in remote diagnosis of SSIs. Telemedicine is a useful adjunct for clinical practice in LMICs to decrease loss to postsurgical follow-up.

Authors: Nash Susan Smith
Published: January 2019

Homes of writers and artists that have been converted into museums are powerful frameworks for a wide range of both individual and group learning experiences. The museums have a unique ability to engage the learners on a deeper level by piquing their curiosity, and also by encouraging participative creative activities. The foundation is that of experiential learning, with an emphasis on authentic and content-based learning. Each visit to an artist’s home museum is a springboard for more universal learning experiences, particularly if the learner follows up and builds on memories of the visit, or to the museum’s website. Meta-cognitive development of analytical skills and creative techniques can enrich the learner, particularly when accompanied by both individual and collaborative online activities. Each artist or writer’s home provides a unique experience, which provides an opportunity for the museum’s educational and creative staff to be very creative. The homes in this article include those of Pablo Neruda, Alexander Pushkin, Ilya Repin, Carson McCullers, Isak Dinesen, and Juan José Arreola.

Authors: Sabadini Maurício De Souza , Campos Fábio Antônio de
Published: January 2019

O objetivo desse artigo será mostrar como a relação definida por Hilferding entre o capital financeiro e a exportação de capital estabelece o nexo imperialista que dá sentido à gênese do capitalismo moderno e sua projeção futura, incluindo a relação de dependência entre os países do centro e da periferia. Para tanto, identificaremos as formas de exportação de capital a partir da dinâmica de reprodução do capital financeiro, além de apresentar os elos essenciais que integram a articulação imperialista entre o capital financeiro em seu surgimento histórico, bem como sua internacionalização via exportação de capital. Estabelecemos formas da exportação de capital como os lucros diferenciais e de fundador, investimento de portfólio, empréstimos e investimentos diretos estrangeiros, atualizando um instrumental característico da fase monopolista do capitalismo. Por fim, indicamos possíveis elos que associam parte das ideias de Hilferding à complexidade atual da financeirização e de sua manifestação imperialista.
Learner Reactions to Activities Exploring Racism as a Social Determinant of Health
Authors: Dennis Syeachia N. , Gold Rachel S. , Wen Frances K.
Published: January 2019

Background and Objectives: Racism’s impact on health has been well documented. Health professional programs are beginning to help learners understand this social determinant of health through curricular integration of education related to racism. Yet educators are hesitant to integrate these concepts into curricula because of lack of expertise or fear associated with learner responses to this potentially sensitive topic. The purpose of this study is to describe the responses of learners to learning sessions on racism as a social determinant of health (SDOH) highlighting structural, personally-mediated, and internalized racism.
Methods: Two separate groups—a family and community medicine (FCM) residency program (N=23) and a community health leadership program (N=14)—participated in lectures and workshops on internalized, personally-mediated, and structural sources of racism, and tours introducing them to the local community’s historical roots of structural racism, including discussions/reflections on racism’s impact on health and health care. Mixed-methods evaluation consisted of learner assessments and reflections on the experiences.
Results: FCM sessions received a positive reception with session averages of 4.15 to 4.75, based on a Likert-type scale (1=did not meet expectations to 5=exceeded expectations). Thematic analysis of community health leadership participant reflections showed thought processing connected to a better understanding of racism. Overall, themes from both programs reflected positive experiences of the sessions.
Conclusions: Our preliminary study findings suggest that educators who encounter internal or external barriers to integrating racism-related concepts into curricula might find that these concepts are well received. This study lays the groundwork for further research into best practices for integration of curriculum on racism as an SDOH for medical schools, residency programs, and other related educational settings.

Background and Objectives: In order to address racial health inequity, it is imperative to create diverse physician workforce and leadership. We describe and report on the outcomes of a comprehensive diversity initiative at our residency with the goal of increasing the racial diversity of residents and faculty.
Methods: At a community-based family medicine residency program, we instituted a multifaceted diversity initiative. The four components were mission statement revision, a diversity task force, an antiracism curriculum, and an ongoing system to evaluate progress.
Results: From 2014 to 2017, the proportion of persons of color among the residents increased from 28% (10/36) to 68% (27/40). Faculty diversity increased from 9% to 27% over the same period.
Conclusions: This multimethod diversity initiative dramatically increased the proportion of underrepresented and other minorities in the residency program. The intervention succeeded due to the commitment of leadership and resources to addressing racism and making diversity a top priority on an institutional level.
