Authors: Qin Wei , Wang Shumei , Yang Lei , Yuan Junliang , Niu Shiqin , Hu Wenli
Published: September 2021

Introduction:

This study aimed to investigate the clinical value of bispectral index
(BIS) monitoring in assessing the consciousness and prognosis of Acute Cerebral Infarction (ACI)
patients.

Methods:

In total, 64 patients who suffered from ACI with consciousness disturbance were enrolled
in this study. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was performed to evaluate the consciousness level
of ACI patients, and BIS was used to monitor the depth of anesthesia and sedation. Then, patients
were divided into good prognosis, poor prognosis and death groups according to Modified
Rankin Score (mRS). Discrimination analysis of BIS values and GCS score for the prediction of
prognosis was performed using the Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve.

Results:

GCS score and BIS values showed statistically significant differences among the three
groups. Spearman rank correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between BIS
values and GCS score, while BIS values was negatively related with mRS. The ROC curve of prognosis
prediction showed strong prognostic power, with Area Under the Curves (AUCs) between
0.830 and 0.917. Moreover, the AUC of BISmean score was higher than that of BISmax, BISmin
and GCS, and BISmean of 74 was the best cut-off point for good prognosis.

Conclusion:

BIS directly reflects the degree of consciousness disturbance in ACI patients, and
thus accurately predicts the prognosis, indicating potential application values of BIS in clinical
practice.

Published: September 2021

Pasir merupakan salah satu bahan geoteknik yang memiliki peranan yang sangat penting, misalnya sebagai bahan timbunan urugan, timbunan backfill di belakang dinding penahan, maupun bahan filter. Pasir berasal dari berbagai sumber dan proses geologi yang berbeda, sehingga pasir vulkanik dan pasir pantai akan memiliki karakteristik fisik, mineralogi, dan bentuk butiran yang berbeda pula. Penelitian ini melakukan serangkaian uji di laboratorium dengan benda uji berupa material pasir: (1) pasir vulkanik sungai aliran lahar dari hasil erupsi Gunung Kelud di Kali Putih Blitar, (2) pasir pantai dari beberapa pantai di Kabupaten Malang yaitu Pantai Wonogoro, Pantai Jolangkung, dan Pantai Goa Cina. Aspek bentuk butiran meliputi roundness, sphericity, dan tekstur. Analisis pengujian dari SEM dan X-RD untuk menentukan karakteristik mikro-fisik dan bentuk butiran pasir secara mendetail. Pengujian geser langsung (direct shear test) untuk menentukan kuat geser dari tanah pasir. Pasir vulkanik memiliki permukaan butiran yang lebih kasar dari pasir pantai sehingga sudut geser dalam yang didapatkan lebih besar dari sampel pasir pantai. Karena tanah pasir tidak memiliki kohesi maka kekuatannya hanya pada sudut geser dalam; dengan demikian, pengaruh aspek mikro-fisik dan bentuk butiran pasir terhadap karakteristik kuat gesernya harus diperhitungkan untuk aplikasinya sebagai material geoteknik.

e-Learning and Web-Based Tools for Psychosocial Interventions Addressing Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Dementia During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Tokyo, Japan: Quasi-Experimental Study
Authors: Nakanishi Miharu , Yamasaki Syudo , Endo Kaori , Niimura Junko , Ziylan Canan , Bakker Ton J E M , Granvik Eva , Nägga Katarina , Nishida Atsushi
Published: September 2021

Background

Concern has been raised that the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent social distancing measures may increase neuropsychiatric symptoms in people with dementia. Thus, we developed and delivered an e-learning training course to professional caregivers on using a web-based tool for psychosocial interventions for people with dementia.

Objective

The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an e-learning course in combination with a web-based tool in addressing neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia.

Methods

A quasi-experimental design was used in Tokyo, Japan. The e-learning course was delivered three times to professional caregivers between July and December 2020. Caregivers who completed the course assessed the level of neuropsychiatric symptoms in people with dementia using the total score from the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) via a web-based tool. The primary outcome measures were the number of caregivers who implemented follow-up NPI evaluations by March 2021 and the change in NPI scores from baseline to their most recent follow-up evaluations. As a control group, information was also obtained from professional caregivers who completed a face-to-face training course using the same web-based tool between July 2019 and March 2020.

Results

A total of 268 caregivers completed the e-learning course in 2020. Of the 268 caregivers, 56 (20.9%) underwent follow-up evaluations with 63 persons with dementia. The average NPI score was significantly reduced from baseline (mean 20.4, SD 16.2) to the most recent follow-up evaluations (mean 14.3, SD 13.4). The effect size was assumed to be medium (Cohen drm [repeated measures]=0.40). The control group consisted of 252 caregivers who completed a face-to-face training course. Of the 252 caregivers, 114 (45.2%) underwent follow-up evaluations. Compared to the control group, caregivers who completed the e-learning course were significantly less likely to implement follow-up evaluations (χ21=52.0, P<.001). The change in NPI scores did not differ according to the type of training course (baseline-adjusted difference=–0.61, P=.69).

Conclusions

The replacement of face-to-face training with e-learning may have provided professionals with an opportunity to participate in the dementia behavior analysis and support enhancement (DEMBASE) program who may not have participated in the program otherwise. Although the program showed equal efficacy in terms of the two training courses, the feasibility was suboptimal with lower implementation levels for those receiving e-learning training. Thus, further strategies should be developed to improve feasibility by providing motivational triggers for implementation and technical support for care professionals. Using online communities in the program should also be investigated.

Authors: Zhao Ivy Y , Ma Ye Xuan , Yu Man Wai Cecilia , Liu Jia , Dong Wei Nan , Pang Qin , Lu Xiao Qin , Molassiotis Alex , Holroyd Eleanor , Wong Chi Wai William
Published: September 2021

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the importance of the deployment of digital detection surveillance systems to support early warning and monitoring of infectious diseases. These opportunities create a “double-edge sword,” as the ethical governance of such approaches often lags behind technological achievements.

Objective

The aim was to investigate ethical issues identified from utilizing artificial intelligence–augmented surveillance or early warning systems to monitor and detect common or novel infectious disease outbreaks.

Methods

In a number of databases, we searched relevant articles that addressed ethical issues of using artificial intelligence, digital surveillance systems, early warning systems, and/or big data analytics technology for detecting, monitoring, or tracing infectious diseases according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, and further identified and analyzed them with a theoretical framework.

Results

This systematic review identified 29 articles presented in 6 major themes clustered under individual, organizational, and societal levels, including awareness of implementing digital surveillance, digital integrity, trust, privacy and confidentiality, civil rights, and governance. While these measures were understandable during a pandemic, the public had concerns about receiving inadequate information; unclear governance frameworks; and lack of privacy protection, data integrity, and autonomy when utilizing infectious disease digital surveillance. The barriers to engagement could widen existing health care disparities or digital divides by underrepresenting vulnerable and at-risk populations, and patients’ highly sensitive data, such as their movements and contacts, could be exposed to outside sources, impinging significantly upon basic human and civil rights.

Conclusions

Our findings inform ethical considerations for service delivery models for medical practitioners and policymakers involved in the use of digital surveillance for infectious disease spread, and provide a basis for a global governance structure.

Evaluating Outcomes of a Social Media–Based Peer and Clinician-Supported Smoking Cessation Program in Preventing Smoking Relapse: Mixed Methods Case Study (Preprint)
Authors: Isse Naohi , Tachibana Yuki , Kinoshita Makiko , Fetters Michael D
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Smoking relapse prevention after completion of a smoking cessation program is highly germane to reducing smoking rates.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 1-year outcomes of a social media–based and peer and clinician-supported smoking cessation program on Facebook and examine communication patterns that could support smoking cessation and identify risk of relapse.

METHODS

We used a mixed methods case study evaluation approach featuring a single-case holistic design. We recruited volunteers who signed up after successful completion of a 12-week clinical smoking cessation program in a general medicine department in Japan. Participants contemporaneously accessed a closed Facebook page, and we analyzed their posts including text and emoticons. We used joint display analysis, which involved iterative structuring and restructuring construct-specific tables with both types of data to find the most effective approach for integrating the quantitative results with the qualitative results of content analysis.

RESULTS

One successful participant and 2 relapsed participants were analyzed to explore the specific patterns of postings prior to relapse. Decisive comments about quitting smoking were common among participants, but encouraging messages for peers were more common from the successful participant. Comments seeking social support and reassurance were warning signs of relapse. Conflicted comments also may be a warning sign of relapse risk.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings based on a mixed methods case study of a social media platform supporting smoking cessation could be used to guide messaging in other online social networking service communities after a smoking cessation program to help reduce smoking relapse.

RESULTS

All registered permanent residents in PNA (80,543,137 person-years) from 1973 to 2019 were enrolled in this study. There were 42,229 deaths from lung cancer. The CMR and ASMRW were 52.43/105 and 27.79/105 person-years, respectively. The YLL due to premature death from lung cancer was 481779.14 years, and the YLL rate was 598.16/105 person-years. The CMR and YLL rate showed significantly increasing trends in men, women, and the total population (P<.001). The CMR of the total population increased by 2.86% (95% CI 2.66-3.07, P<.001) per year during the study period. The YLL rate increased with an AAPC of 2.21% (95% CI 1.92-2.51, P<.001) per year. The contribution rates of increased CMR values caused by demographic factors were more evident than those caused by nondemographic factors.

CONCLUSIONS

Lung cancer deaths showed an increasing trend in PNA from 1973 to 2019. Demographic factors, such as the aging population, contributed more to an increased CMR. Our research can help us understand the changes in lung cancer mortality and can be used for similar cities in designing future prevention plans.
virtual reality and augmented reality Applications in surgery：Analysis of the Scientific Literature (Preprint)
Authors: Lu Jin , Xiao Yongqiang , Zhou Ye , Qi Xiangdong
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Background: Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have recently become popular research themes. However, there are no published bibliometric reports that have analyzed the corresponding scientific literature in relation to the application of these technologies in surgery.
Our study aims to study the research trend on virtual reality and surgery, and compare the contribution of publications from different countries, institutions, journals and authors.

OBJECTIVE

We used a bibliometric approach to identify and analyze the scientific literature on virtual reality and surgery during 2001-2020 form Web of Science. GraphPad Prism 6, and VOSviewer software were used to collect and analyze the publication trend in related field, revealing the popular research topics, key authors, scientific institutions, countries, and journals.

METHODS

The Web of Science electronic database was searched to identify relevant papers on VR research in surgery. Basic publication and citation data were acquired using the “Analyze” and “Create Citation Report” functions of the database. Complete bibliographic data were exported to VOSviewer for further analyses. Visualization maps were generated to illustrate the recurring keywords and words mentioned in the titles and abstracts.

RESULTS

We identified a total of 3323 publications with citation frequency of 81919 times up to August 21, 2021. The United States accounted for the largest number of publications (30.575%), 31199 of total citations as well as the highest H-index (88). The sum of publications from China
ranked the fifth, while the overall citations (3257) and H-index (29) ranked the eighth and the ninth, respectively. The paper published on Annals of Surgery in 2002 had been cited for 1759times, which was the most cited papers in related field. The “system research” seemed to be the
hotspot in relevant scope.

CONCLUSIONS

The United States made the most outstanding contribution within this important field. There is a mismatch between the quantity and quality of publications from China. Latest progress can be tracked in Annals of Surgery. Augmented reality related researches may be hotspots in the near future.
Video Game Addictive Symptom Level, Use Intensity, and Hedonic Experience: Cross-sectional Questionnaire Study (Preprint)
Authors: Walia Bhavneet , Kim Jeeyoon , Ijere Ignatius , Sanders Shane
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

The effects of behavioral addiction to video games has received increasing attention in the literature, given increased use intensity among subgroups of video game players.

OBJECTIVE

This study seeks to empirically determine the relationship between intensity of video gaming and hedonic experience of the player.

METHODS

We conducted a survey of 835 individuals who regularly play video games to determine the relationship between intensity of use and hedonic experience. We divided the sample into quartiles by self-reported video game addictive symptom level (from the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale) and conducted polynomial regressions separately for each quartile.

RESULTS

We found that the higher video game addictive symptom level groups experienced a U-shaped (curvilinear) relationship between hedonic experience and intensity of play, whereas groups with lower video game addictive symptom levels exhibited no such relationship. The coefficients for the highest addictive symptom level group (quartile 4) for marginal effects for hours played per week and hours played per week squared were significantly negative (P=.005) and significantly positive (P=.004), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

Our results are consistent with sensitization and tolerance theories, which suggest that high-symptom groups experience frustration and disappointment until they achieve excessive dopamine release, at which point their hedonic experience is expected to improve with additional play. Conversely, low-symptom groups experience no such fall-and-rise pattern. This result is consistent with the outcome that members of the latter group play the game for the direct experience, such that their hedonic experience is more directly related to events occurring in the game than to the increasingly elusive pursuit of excessive dopamine release. We also find that high-symptom groups spend substantially more time and money to support video game use and are much more likely to engage in video game use at the expense of other important activities, such as working, sleeping, and eating.
Horticultura, movilidad y tecnología lítica
Authors: Balena Imanol , Medina Matías
Published: September 2021

This article analyzes the core technology, flaked stone artifacts manufacture debris and tools recovered at Boyo Paso 2 (Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina), an open-air site interpreted as a residential base-camp occupied during the growing season (October-April) by people with mixed foraging and cultivation economy. The major aim is to present the results and characterize the organization of lithic technology during the Late Pre-Hispanic Period (1500-350 BP), where the adoption of plant cultivation did not constrained the group´s mobility or the time investment into other subsistence activities as foraging. Results pointed out the existence of certain curated technological component among late prehispanic groups, which in conjunction with expedient flake-tool production strategies governed the organization of technology. The intensive exploitation of fine-grain lithic but less abundant in the landscape raw materials, in a context dominated by expedient tools, provides primary data to understand the variability of technological responses where the adoption of crop plants did not necessarily lead to fully-sedentary farming, a pattern commonly observed ethnographically but difficult to identify from the material culture.
Ruedas de coplas y mundos de experiencia en la quebrada y los valles orientales de Jujuy
Authors: Sánchez Radek
Published: September 2021

The wheels of coplas in the gorge and the eastern high valleys of Jujuy are a type of song accompanied by cajas (drums), typical of the summer season. They begin with a celebration for the deceased and continue active until the funeral of the carnival. With this article I want to offer some reflections on the wheel as a creative and social activity, that "encourages" or "that drives away sadness". From my field experience, the narratives of copleras and copleros and the analysis of vernacular coplas, I will analyze the characteristics of entry into the wheel, which imply, according to general consideration, a break with the common sense of everyday life. In these circumstances, the senses can respond in unpredictable ways, which means the search for new knowledge and resources that allow participants to give meaning to this new order of things, ephemeral, but highly desired. In these cases, through sonorous climates and alcohol intake, where the singularity of the body is confused with the organic nature of the wheel, dissident discourses and a loss of the sense of time can occur, while still insisting on the search for generating joy and beauty.
