Authors: Tawfik Daniel S , Sinha Amrita , Bayati Mohsen , Adair Kathryn C , Shanafelt Tait D , Sexton J Bryan , Profit Jochen
Published: July 2021

Background

New technology adoption is common in health care, but it may elicit frustration if end users are not sufficiently considered in their design or trained in their use. These frustrations may contribute to burnout.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate and quantify health care workers’ frustration with technology and its relationship with emotional exhaustion, after controlling for measures of work-life integration that may indicate excessive job demands.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional, observational study of health care workers across 31 Michigan hospitals. We used the Safety, Communication, Operational Reliability, and Engagement (SCORE) survey to measure work-life integration and emotional exhaustion among the survey respondents. We used mixed-effects hierarchical linear regression to evaluate the relationship among frustration with technology, other components of work-life integration, and emotional exhaustion, with adjustment for unit and health care worker characteristics.

Results

Of 15,505 respondents, 5065 (32.7%) reported that they experienced frustration with technology on at least 3-5 days per week. Frustration with technology was associated with higher scores for the composite Emotional Exhaustion scale (r=0.35, P<.001) and each individual item on the Emotional Exhaustion scale (r=0.29-0.36, P<.001 for all). Each 10-point increase in the frustration with technology score was associated with a 1.2-point increase (95% CI 1.1-1.4) in emotional exhaustion (both measured on 100-point scales), after adjustment for other work-life integration items and unit and health care worker characteristics.

Conclusions

This study found that frustration with technology and several other markers of work-life integration are independently associated with emotional exhaustion among health care workers. Frustration with technology is common but not ubiquitous among health care workers, and it is one of several work-life integration factors associated with emotional exhaustion. Minimizing frustration with health care technology may be an effective approach in reducing burnout among health care workers.
Exploratory Analysis of Electronic Cigarette–Related Videos on YouTube: Observational Study
Authors: Xie Zidian , Wang Xueting , Gu Yu , Li Dongmei
Published: July 2021

Background

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has become more popular than cigarette smoking, especially among youth. Social media platforms, including YouTube, are a popular means of sharing information about e-cigarette use (vaping).

Objective

This study aimed to characterize the content and user engagement of e-cigarette–related YouTube videos.

Methods

The top 400 YouTube search videos related to e-cigarettes were collected in January 2020. Among them, 340 valid videos were classified into provaping, vaping-warning, and neutral categories by hand coding. Additionally, the content of e-cigarette videos and their user engagement (including average views and likes) were analyzed and compared.

Results

While provaping videos were dominant among e-cigarette–related YouTube videos from 2007 to 2017, vaping-warning videos started to emerge in 2013 and became dominant between 2018 and 2019. Compared to vaping-warning videos, provaping videos had higher average daily views (1077 vs 822) but lower average daily likes (12 vs 15). Among 161 provaping videos, videos on user demonstration (n=100, 62.11%) were dominant, and videos on comparison with smoking had the highest user engagement (2522 average daily views and 28 average daily likes). Conversely, among 141 vaping-warning videos, videos on potential health risks were the most popular topic (n=57, 40.42%) with the highest user engagement (1609 average daily views and 33 average daily likes).

Conclusions

YouTube was dominated by provaping videos, with the majority of videos on user demonstrations before 2018. The vaping-warning videos became dominant between 2018 and 2019, with videos on potential health risks being the most popular topic. This study provides updated surveillance on e-cigarette–related YouTube videos and some important guidance on associated social media regulations.
Investigating the Use of Telemedicine for Digitally Mediated Delegation in Team-Based Primary Care: Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Knop Michael , Mueller Marius , Niehaves Bjoern
Published: July 2021

Background

Owing to the shortage of medical professionals, as well as demographic and structural challenges, new care models have emerged to find innovative solutions to counter medical undersupply. Team-based primary care using medical delegation appears to be a promising approach to address these challenges; however, it demands efficient communication structures and mechanisms to reinsure patients and caregivers receive a delegated, treatment-related task. Digital health care technologies hold the potential to render these novel processes effective and demand driven.

Objective

The goal of this study is to recreate the daily work routines of general practitioners (GPs) and medical assistants (MAs) to explore promising approaches for the digital moderation of delegation processes and to deepen the understanding of subjective and perceptual factors that influence their technology assessment and use.

Methods

We conducted a combination of 19 individual and group interviews with 12 GPs and 14 MAs, seeking to identify relevant technologies for delegation purposes as well as stakeholders’ perceptions of their effectiveness. Furthermore, a web-based survey was conducted asking the interviewees to order identified technologies based on their assessed applicability in multi-actor patient care. Interview data were analyzed using a three-fold inductive coding procedure. Multidimensional scaling was applied to analyze and visualize the survey data, leading to a triangulation of the results.

Results

Our results suggest that digital mediation of delegation underlies complex, reciprocal processes and biases that need to be identified and analyzed to improve the development and distribution of innovative technologies and to improve our understanding of technology use in team-based primary care. Nevertheless, medical delegation enhanced by digital technologies, such as video consultations, portable electrocardiograms, or telemedical stethoscopes, can counteract current challenges in primary care because of its unique ability to ensure both personal, patient-centered care for patients and create efficient and needs-based treatment processes.

Conclusions

Technology-mediated delegation appears to be a promising approach to implement innovative, case-sensitive, and cost-effective ways to treat patients within the paradigm of primary care. The relevance of such innovative approaches increases with the tremendous need for differentiated and effective care, such as during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. For the successful and sustainable adoption of innovative technologies, MAs represent essential team members. In their role as mediators between GPs and patients, MAs are potentially able to counteract patients’ resistance toward using innovative technology and compensate for patients’ limited access to technology and care facilities.
Classification of Children With Autism and Typical Development Using Eye-Tracking Data From Face-to-Face Conversations: Machine Learning Model Development and Performance Evaluation
Authors: Zhao Zhong , Tang Haiming , Zhang Xiaobin , Qu Xingda , Hu Xinyao , Lu Jianping
Published: July 2021

Background

Previous studies have shown promising results in identifying individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by applying machine learning (ML) to eye-tracking data collected while participants viewed varying images (ie, pictures, videos, and web pages). Although gaze behavior is known to differ between face-to-face interaction and image-viewing tasks, no study has investigated whether eye-tracking data from face-to-face conversations can also accurately identify individuals with ASD.

Objective

The objective of this study was to examine whether eye-tracking data from face-to-face conversations could classify children with ASD and typical development (TD). We further investigated whether combining features on visual fixation and length of conversation would achieve better classification performance.

Methods

Eye tracking was performed on children with ASD and TD while they were engaged in face-to-face conversations (including 4 conversational sessions) with an interviewer. By implementing forward feature selection, four ML classifiers were used to determine the maximum classification accuracy and the corresponding features: support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis, decision tree, and random forest.

Results

A maximum classification accuracy of 92.31% was achieved with the SVM classifier by combining features on both visual fixation and session length. The classification accuracy of combined features was higher than that obtained using visual fixation features (maximum classification accuracy 84.62%) or session length (maximum classification accuracy 84.62%) alone.

Conclusions

Eye-tracking data from face-to-face conversations could accurately classify children with ASD and TD, suggesting that ASD might be objectively screened in everyday social interactions. However, these results will need to be validated with a larger sample of individuals with ASD (varying in severity and balanced sex ratio) using data collected from different modalities (eg, eye tracking, kinematic, electroencephalogram, and neuroimaging). In addition, individuals with other clinical conditions (eg, developmental delay and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) should be included in similar ML studies for detecting ASD.
Association of COVID-19 Risk Misperceptions With Household Isolation in the United States: Survey Study
Authors: Ladapo Joseph A , Rothwell Jonathan T , Ramirez Christina M
Published: July 2021

Background

Adverse mental and emotional health outcomes are increasingly recognized as a public health challenge associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective

The goal of this study was to examine the association of COVID-19 risk misperceptions with self-reported household isolation, a potential risk factor for social isolation and loneliness.

Methods

We analyzed data from the Franklin Templeton-Gallup Economics of Recovery Study (July to December 2020) of 24,649 US adults. We also analyzed data from the Gallup Panel (March 2020 to February 2021), which included 123,516 observations about loneliness. The primary outcome was self-reported household isolation, which we defined as a respondent having no contact or very little contact with people outside their household, analogous to quarantining.

Results

From July to December 2020, 53% to 57% of respondents reported living in household isolation. Most participants reported beliefs about COVID-19 health risks that were inaccurate, and overestimation of health risk was most common. For example, while deaths in persons younger than 55 years old accounted for 7% of total US deaths, respondents estimated that this population represented 43% of deaths. Overestimating COVID-19 health risks was associated with increased self-reported household isolation, with percentage differences ranging from 5.6 to 11.8 (P<.001 at each time point). Characteristics associated with self-reported household isolation from the July and August 2020 surveys and persisting in the December 2020 survey included younger age (18 to 39 years), having a serious medical condition, having a household member with a serious medical condition, and identifying as a Democrat. In the Gallup Panel, self-reported household isolation was associated with a higher prevalence of loneliness.

Conclusions

Pandemic-related harms to emotional and mental well-being may be attenuated by reducing risk overestimation and household isolation preferences that exceed public health guidelines.

Authors: Lu Qian , Warmoth Krystal , Chen Lingjun , Wu Christine S , Chu Qiao , Li Yisheng , Gallagher Matthew W , Stanton Annette L , Kagawa Singer Marjorie , Young Lucy , Loh Alice
Published: July 2021

Background

Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer among Asian American women. Chinese American immigrant breast cancer survivors face unique challenges because of cultural and socioecological factors. They report emotional distress and the need for social, emotional, and spiritual support. However, culturally and linguistically appropriate information for managing survivorship health care is often unavailable.

Objective

To improve the health outcomes for this underserved and understudied population, we developed, designed, and launched a randomized controlled trial to test the health benefits of a culturally sensitive social support intervention (Joy Luck Academy). In this paper, we describe the research protocol.

Methods

This randomized controlled trial will enroll Chinese-speaking, stage 0 to 3 breast cancer survivors who have completed treatment within the previous 36 months using a community-based participatory research approach. We will randomly assign 168 participants to the intervention or control group. The intervention arm will attend 7 weekly 3.5-hour peer mentor and educational sessions. The control group will receive the educational information. We will assess health outcomes at baseline, immediately after the Joy Luck Academy, and at 1- and 4-month follow-ups. The primary outcome is quality of life, as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy scale. Secondary outcomes include depressive symptoms, positive affect, fatigue, and perceived stress. We will also explore how the intervention influences cortisol levels. To identify how and to whom the program is effective, we will measure social and personal resources and theorized mechanisms and perform qualitative interviews with a subsample of participants to enhance the interpretation of quantitative data.

Results

Recruitment began in February 2015, and data collection was completed in February 2019. We expect to complete data management by August 2021 and publish results in 2022.

Conclusions

If the Joy Luck Academy is demonstrated to be effective, it may be easily disseminated as an intervention for other groups of Asian American immigrant breast cancer survivors. Furthermore, similar programs could be integrated into other diverse communities.

Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Digital health interventions (DHIs) can alleviate several barriers to achieving better maternal and child health. The World Health Organization’s guideline recommendations for DHIs emphasize the need to integrate multiple DHIs for maximizing impact. The complex health system of Bangladesh provides a unique setting for evaluating and understanding the role of an electronic registry (eRegistry) for antenatal care, with multiple integrated DHIs for strengthening the health system as well as improving the quality and utilization of the public health care system.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to assess the effect of an eRegistry with DHIs compared with a simple digital data entry tool without DHIs in the community and frontline health facilities.

METHODS

The eRegMat is a cluster-randomized controlled trial conducted in the Matlab North and Matlab South subdistricts in the Chandpur district, Bangladesh, where health facilities are currently using the eRegistry for digital tracking of the health status of pregnant women longitudinally. The intervention arm received 3 superimposed data-driven DHIs: health worker clinical decision support, health worker feedback dashboards with action items, and targeted client communication to pregnant women. The primary outcomes are appropriate screening as well as management of hypertension during pregnancy and timely antenatal care attendance. The secondary outcomes include morbidity and mortality in the perinatal period as well as timely first antenatal care visit; successful referrals for anemia, diabetes, or hypertension during pregnancy; and facility delivery.

RESULTS

The eRegistry and DHIs were co-designed with end users between 2016 and 2018. The eRegistry was implemented in the study area in July 2018. Recruitment for the trial started in October 2018 and ended in June 2020, followed by an 8-month follow-up period to capture outcome data until February 2021. Trial results will be available for publication in June 2021.

CONCLUSIONS

This trial allows the simultaneous assessment of multiple integrated DHIs for strengthening the health system and aims to provide evidence for its implementation. The study design and outcomes are geared toward informing the living review process of the guidelines for implementing DHIs.

Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

The current understanding of advanced Parkinson disease (PD) and its treatment is largely based on data from outpatient visits. The most advanced and disabled individuals with PD are disconnected from both care and research. A previous pilot study among older, multimorbid patients with advanced PD demonstrated the feasibility of interdisciplinary home visits to reach the target population, improve care quality, and potentially avoid institutionalization.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study protocol is to investigate whether interdisciplinary home visits can prevent a decline in quality of life of patients with PD and prevent worsening of caregiver strain. The protocol also explores whether program costs are offset by savings in health care utilization and institutionalization compared with usual care.

METHODS

In this single-center, controlled trial, 65 patient-caregiver dyads affected by advanced PD (Hoehn and Yahr stages 3-5 and homebound) are recruited to receive quarterly interdisciplinary home visits over 1 year. The 1-year intervention is delivered by a nurse and a research coordinator, who travel to the home, and it is supported by a movement disorder specialist and social worker (both present by video). Each dyad is compared with age-, sex-, and Hoehn and Yahr stage–matched control dyads drawn from US participants in the longitudinal Parkinson’s Outcome Project registry. The primary outcome measure is the change in patient quality of life between baseline and 1 year. Secondary outcome measures include changes in Hoehn and Yahr stage, caregiver strain, self-reported fall frequency, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, and time to institutionalization or death. Intervention costs and changes in health care utilization will be analyzed in a budget impact analysis to explore the potential for model adaptation and dissemination.

RESULTS

The protocol was funded in September 2017 and approved by the Rush Institutional Review Board in October 2017. Recruitment began in May 2018 and closed in November 2019 with 65 patient-caregiver dyads enrolled. All study visits have been completed, and analysis is underway.

CONCLUSIONS

To our knowledge, this is the first controlled trial to investigate the effects of interdisciplinary home visits among homebound individuals with advanced PD and their caregivers. This study also establishes a unique cohort of patients from whom we can study the natural course of advanced PD, its treatments, and unmet needs.

Published: July 2021

Terjadinya penurunan produktivitas perikanan tuna di Perairan Selatan Jawa salah satunya disebabkan oleh adanya kondisi tangkap lebih yang terjadi akibat ketidaktersediaannya informasi geografis akurat terkait jumlah dan jenis spesies. Pendekatan spasial keragaman habitat spesies mampu memberikan prediksi akurat tentang jenis dan jumlah spesies pada suatu daerah penangkapan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan peta klasterisasi spasial keragaman spesies tuna berdasarkan data hasil tangkapan tuna dan data lokasi penangkapan di Perairan Selatan Jawa yang diperoleh dari kapal rawai tuna yang menangkap ikan di Samudera Hindia dan mendaratkan  tangkapannya di Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera (PPS) Benoa pada bulan September-November 2019 dengan menggunakan beberapa analisis yaitu: (1) analisis keragaman spesies (Shannon-wiener index dan Menhinick index) dan analisis klasterisasi spasial (ward-hierarchical clustering dengan bootstrapped p-value). Berdasarkan kedua hasil analisis tersebut diperoleh tiga klaster pola sebaran daerah penangkapan tuna di Perairan Selatan Jawa yaitu: (1) klaster yang didominasi oleh spesies Thunnus albacares, (2) klaster yang didominasi oleh Thunnus obessus, dan (3) klaster dengan jumlah spesies tuna yang berimbang. Informasi mengenai ketiga klaster daerah penangkapan ini selanjutnya dapat digunakan sebagai rujukan penentuan pengelolaan perikanan tuna dan upaya pembatasan kapasitas penangkapan khususnya pada spesies tuna yang mengalami penurunan stok.

Published: July 2021

Adenosine receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Adenosine Receptors [110]) are activated by the endogenous ligand adenosine (potentially inosine also at A3 receptors). Crystal structures for the antagonist-bound [153, 313, 221, 61], agonist-bound [375, 203, 204] and G protein-bound A2A adenosine receptors [49] have been described. The structures of an antagonist-bound A1 receptor [128] and an adenosine-bound A1 receptor-Gi complex [86] have been resolved by cryo-electronmicroscopy. Another structure of an antagonist-bound A1 receptor obtained with X-ray crystallography has also been reported [57]. caffeine is a nonselective antagonist for adenosine receptors, while istradefylline, a selective A2A receptor antagonist, is on the market for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

UMA LEITURA SOBRE O TRANSTORNO DE PÂNICO À LUZ DA TEORIA FREUDIANA DA ANGÚSTIA
Authors: Liberato Gabriel , Dupim Gabriella
Published: July 2021

Panic Disorder invites us to think about the clinical and cultural implications involved in structuring this type of suffering as treated by psychiatry through the DSM. By reducing the psychology of anguish to nosology, to a technical and ideological discourse, we disregard suffering as a result of new forms of subjectivation and modalizations of the social bond that contemporaneity has produced. Psychoanalysis is interested in psychological suffering in its symptom dimension, that is, considering the malaise in civilization without resorting to the processes of human subjectivation. In view of the above, this study aims to investigate the category of Panic Disorder from the Freudian work, following its clinical and theoretical path to understand the specificity of this form of suffering and its relations with anguish.

Published: July 2021

Presbyopia has been a condition that eye doctors have largely diagnosed based on age or clinical testing. Although the effects of presbyopia are typically very predictable in a clinical setting; its effects on real-world visual performance are far less predictable and relatively poorly understood. With more and more Baby Boomers and Gen X maintaining an active lifestyle, performance vision becomes a priority. This article aims to explore what is known about how visual performance can be maximized despite the progressionof presbyopia and identifies areas where research is needed.

SARS CoV-2 Vaccines, Remdesivir and Favipiravir Might Have Led to SARS CoV-2 B.1.617 Variants: India First but We Can Intervene
Authors: Kelleni Mina
Published: July 2021

In the initial draft, I have made a mistake SARS COV-2 Vaccines have not
shared in development of the original SARS CoV-2 B.1.617 variants in
India (yet they might have shared in the evolution of the more virulent
delta plus variant). I have updated the manuscript, thanks to Authorea,
and in the updated versions Remdesivir, Favipiravir and Dexamethasone
are suggested as potential crucial causes that led to B.1.617 variants
in India and elsewhere. Moreover, SARS CoV-2 mass vaccination programs
and the unfortunately anticipated Molnupiravir are suggested to share in
evolution of potentially more virulent variants e.g. delta plus and the
catastrophic Indian surge of mortality is also anticipated to be
repeated elsewhere unless some prompt interventions are considered.
Tris(methylthio)methane Produced by Mortierella hyalina Affects Sulfur Homeostasis in Arabidopsis

Published: July 2021

Microbial volatiles are important factors in symbiotic interactions with
plants. Mortierella hyalina is a beneficial root-colonizing fungus with
a garlic-like smell, and promotes growth of Arabidopsis seedlings. GC-MS
analysis of the M. hyalina headspace and NMR analysis of the extracted
essential oil identified the sulfur-containing volatile
tris(methylthio)methane (TMTM) as the major compound. Its incorporation
in seedlings was shown by 34S labeling experiment. Under sulfur
deficiency, TMTM downregulated sulfur deficiency-responsive genes,
prevented glucosinolate (GSL) and glutathione (GSH) diminishment, and
sustained plant growth. However, excess TMTM led to accumulation of GSH
and GSL and reduced plant growth. Since TMTM is not directly
incorporated into cysteine, we propose that the volatile from M. hyalina
influences the plant sulfur metabolism by interfering with the GSH
metabolism, and alleviates sulfur imbalances under sulfur stress.
Presence of the Potential Toxic Metals (PTMs) in the urban and peri-urban topsoils

The occurrence of the PTEs contamination in the environment resulting
from the point or diffuse sources increases with globalization and
population growth. Anyway the benefits of home gardening for the
physiological and physical well-being, as well as uncertainties
regarding food supply chain in the case of Covid-19, the desire to use
home-grown (local) food is increasing more and more. There is no
information available on the PTE pollution of urban soils used for the
food production in Slovenia. Therefore, the main goal of present study
is the characterization of urban gardens and agricultural areas affected
by flooded sediments. The total concentrations of PTEs in soil and
sediment samples were ICP-MS. The concentrations of PTEs (As, Cd, Cr,
Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) exceeded the permissible limit values defined in
Slovenian Official Gazette. To define the natural or artificial origin
of PTEs, the mineralogical composition of the selected soils and
sediments was determined. The results obtained in present study were
correlated with the national background values measured in the upper
soil horizon and showed elevated concentrations. In addition to the
environmental issues, the social aspect of potential impacts of PTEs on
human health and safety was investigated. The results show that despite
the numerous local, national and international plans and measures,
greater awareness of the general public is needed to understand the
hazardous effects of PTEs and the need for appropriate management of
contaminated soil in the case contaminated areas.

Eportfolios as Reflective Assessment of Social Justice
Authors: Gallen James
Published: July 2021

This article explores the potential for eportfolios to contribute to the development of student critical awareness of social justice, including the role of the university as a social justice actor, through module assessment. It will critically address how eportfolios were introduced in 2019-20 to assess student reflection on social justice in a first year law module ‘Critical Approaches to Law’ at DCU. To date, there has been a slow adoption of eportfolios in Irish higher education (Farrell 2018). Although there is some evidence of reflective assessment in comparative legal education, especially in schools with an emphasis on socio-legal approaches to law, and in clinical legal education, there is limited analysis of eportfolio assessment in classroom-based or blended legal education, (Waye and Faulkner 2012) and none in the Irish context.

The article will discuss the motivation to use eportfolios; the benefits, challenges and lessons learned in the design of the assessment, and the first time experience for the educator of marking and student experience of eportfolios. It assesses eportfolios as a mechanism for prompting student reflection and the development of critical thinking, (Farrell 2019) with a particular reflective focus on social justice and university education as a social justice experience. (Connell 2019). It queries the extent to which eportfolios enable students to incorporate prior learning experiences to their reflection, (Chen and Black 2010) and for students self-determine the parameters of their personal interaction with social justice questions raised by the experience in the module and their lived experience.

Esse estudo se propôs a criar uma análise sobre o estágio supervisionado do curso de ciências contábeis como ferramenta para a inserção mercadológica. A sua fundamentação teórica se divide em duas seções, de forma linear e metodologicamente dedutiva, a pesquisa segue do geral ao particular abordando sobre a importância da satisfação do concludente quanto a sua formação, o processo formativo do acadêmico de contabilidade, com duas subseções a relação da teoria/prática e por fim, o estágio supervisionado e sua importância formativa. O objetivo geral desse estudo foi comparar os acadêmicos concludentes que estão imersos no mercado de trabalho e os que não estão sobre a importância do estágio supervisionado no curso de ciências contábeis. A metodologia empregada segue os preceitos de uma pesquisa experimental, com abordagem qualitativa e na coleta dos dados utilizou a técnica de questionários estruturados. Com esse estudo, os resultados alcançados respondem que há uma compreensão quanto ao descompasso da prática contábil acadêmica com a prática contábil mercadológica, bem como um entendimento de que o currículo de ciências contábeis precisa passar por uma atualização de conteúdos. No entanto, a maioria dos alunos concludentes não observa a ausência de temas relevantes sobre a contabilidade tratados no estágio, mas evidenciam que o currículo de ciências contábeis da IES atende parcialmente as suas necessidades de formação.
