Authors: Robinson Erin L. , Park Geunhye , Lane Kari , Skubic Marjorie , Rantz Marilyn
Published: June 2020

Sensing technologies hold enormous potential for early detection of health changes that can dramatically affect the aging experience. In previous work, we developed a health alert system that captures and analyzes in-home sensor data. The purpose of this research was to collect input from older adults and family members on how the health information generated can best be adapted, such that older adults and family members can better self-manage their health. Five 90-minute focus groups were conducted with 23 older adults (mean age = 80 years; 87% female) and five family members (mean age = 64; 100% female). Participants were asked open-ended questions about the sensor technology and methods for interacting with their health information. Participants provided feedback regarding tailoring the technology, such as delegating access to family and health care providers, receiving health messages and alerts, interpreting health messages, and graphic display options. Participants also noted concerns and future likelihood of technology adoption. [

Authors: Despins Laurel A. , Guidoboni Giovanna , Skubic Marjorie , Sala Lorenzo , Enayati Moein , Popescu Mihail , Deroche Chelsea B.
Published: June 2020

Early detection of heart failure in older adults will be a significant issue for the foreseeable future. The current article presents a case study to describe how monitoring ballistocardiogram (BCG) waveforms captured non-invasively using sensors placed under a bed mattress can detect early heart failure changes. Heart and respiratory rates obtained from the bed sensor of a female older adult who was hospitalized with acute mixed congestive heart failure, clinic notes, and data from computer simulations reflecting increasing diastolic dysfunction were analyzed. Mean heart and respiratory rate trends obtained from her bed sensor in the prior 2 months did not indicate heart failure. BCG waveforms resulting from the simulations demonstrated changes associated with decreasing cardiac output as diastolic function worsened. Developing new methods for clinically interpreting BCG waveforms presents a significant opportunity for improving early heart failure detection. [

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to assess multiple-choice questions used in test-banks accompanying selected nursing textbooks. A random sample of 2913 questions was selected from a convenience sample of 17 test banks. Questions were evaluated on (a) adherence to generally accepted guidelines for writing multiple-choice questions; (b) cognitive level as defined by Bloom's (1961) taxonomy; and (c) distribution of correct answers as A, B, C, or D. The results were 2233 violations of item-writing guidelines, most of which were minor but some were serious. A large number of questions (47.3%) were written at the knowledge level and only 6.5% were written at the analysis level. The correct answers were evenly distributed: C2S ranged from 0.00 to 4.84; chi square value needed to reach .05 probability was 26.30. Faculty are encouraged to evaluate multiple-choice questions from test banks carefully before using them for exams.
IoT Security

Published: June 2020

The usage of the internet of things (IoT) devices is growing for the ease of life. From smart homes to smart cars, from smart transportation to smart cities, from smart hospitals to smart highways, these IoT devices send and receive highly sensitive data regarding the privacy of users or other information regarding the movement of users from one location to another location. The timing traces users when present at home and out of the home. But how does one secure this information from the attacker? There is a need for IoT devices security. As there are three layers of IoT devices—the application layer, network layer, and perception layer—three layers to be secure. IoT devices are heterogeneous and constrain energy consumption. The proposed solution in this chapter is three-way authentication of IoT devices by generating tokens from the device serial number and from the few configuration devices at the network layer. For high availability of IoT device services, the protection against distributed denial of service attack is implemented at the network layer.

Published: June 2020

During the recent decade, wireless body area network (WBAN) was developed and prioritized. This gives reliability, energy efficiency, and guaranteed results. Moreover, internet of medical things (IoMT) also enhances the significance of WBAN networks. To achieve high throughput, performance, and efficiency, WBAN deserves a new protocol definition as compared to general wireless sensor network along with a more enhanced framework. The standard 802.15.6 with PHY and MAC layers follow the standardization of WBAN. The wireless nature of the network and various varieties of sensors in the presence of IoMT made it possible to develop new, effective, innovative, and demand-driven solutions for health improvement and quality of service. In the recent literature, the researchers have proposed an IoMT-based secure framework for WBAN. In this chapter, an in-depth and comprehensive depiction of the security issues of IoMT-based framework of the wireless network is highlighted that incorporates security measures in different levels of the WBAN network.

Published: June 2020

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are comprised of large collections of small devices having low operating power, low memory space, and limited processing capabilities referred to as sensor nodes. The nodes in WSNs are capable of sensing, recording, and monitoring environmental conditions. Nowadays, a variety of WSNs applications can be found in many areas such as in healthcare, agriculture, industries, military, homes, offices, hospitals, smart transportation, and smart buildings. Though WSNs offer many useful applications, they suffer from many deployment issues. The security issue is one of them. The security of WSNs is considerable because of the use of unguided medium and their deployment in harsh, physically unprotected, and unattended environments. This chapter aims to discuss various security objectives and security attacks on WSNs and summarizes the discussed attacks according to their categories. The chapter also discusses different security protocols presented to prevent, detect, and recover the WSNs from various security attacks.

Improved Global Competitiveness on the Basis of New Business Models Influenced by Dynamic Strategic Thinking
Authors: Dubrovski Drago
Published: June 2020

In modern business, dynamic changes in the environment (macro trends) provoke changes within the company. Companies can protect themselves from latent, acute crises. In addition, companies can navigate a turbulent environment while ensuring organizational existence and development. Organizational forms and characteristics, as well as business models to maintain or increase existence and create competitive advantages in the global market, are increasingly sought in a more creative manner. These actions are based on dynamic strategic thinking. Revolutionary methods are often required for the creation and adaptation of competitive business models. The data from companies that face a current crisis show a gap between the need to change business models and the introduction of adapted business models to achieve the desired level of competitiveness.
No Interaction on Instagram
Authors: Russmann Uta , Svensson Jakob
Published: June 2020

This chapter addresses a neglected issue within the field of social media and political communication. It focuses on interaction processes on Instagram asking how political parties used Instagram—a platform that is centered around images—when engaging in interaction with their followers on the platform. The focus is on political parties' use of Instagram in the 2014 Swedish national election campaign. This gives an impression of the first attempts of political parties' use of this communication platform. The quantitative content analysis focuses on Instagram images including their captions and comments (posts) that Swedish parties published four weeks prior to Election Day. The results suggest that not much changes on Instagram compared to other social media platforms: Swedish political parties hardly used Instagram to interact with their followers, and the very few interactions taking place did not contribute to the exchange of relevant and substantive information about politics. Interaction and deliberation are also not enhanced by the images.
The Pervasive and the Digital
Authors: O'Brien Daniel Paul
Published: June 2020

This chapter discusses the trajectory of immersive story worlds by considering four distinct interactive artworks. Blast Theory's, A Machine to See With (2010), is a pervasive fictional experience that enables users, through the technology of their mobile phone, to become immersed within a fictional crime scenario across a real geographical setting. Their latter artwork app, Karen (2015), enables a different type of pervasive immersion through interstitial storytelling that incorporates the medium of the user's smartphone into the virtual narrative space. Dennis Del Favero's art project, Scenario (2011), and Extant's Flatland, by contrast, are interactive and immersive stories that take place in digital spaces that interface with the body in unique ways. This chapter will explore each of these artworks through original interviews the author has conducted with each of the artists.
Innovation for Human Development
Authors: Boni Alejandra , Leivas Monique , De La Fuente Teresa , Belda-Miquel Sergio
Published: June 2020

In this chapter, the authors examine to what extent a participatory video process promoted by a group of university researchers and conducted in collaboration with two grassroots innovations in the city of Valencia (Spain) has been a tool of human development innovation. They explore both the process and the product using different categories belonging to the participatory action research and human development and capabilities approach literature. They conclude that the process has expanded the capabilities of the participants, particularly those relating to rethinking and re-signifying their own innovative practices, and the more instrumental capabilities developed in connection with the use of video and teamwork. Furthermore, videos contribute, firstly, towards spreading a certain vision of the grassroots innovations aligned with the values of human development and, secondly, to creating communicative spaces where such innovation can be shown and discussed.
The stiff elbow: Current concepts

Published: June 2020

Elbow stiffness is defined as any loss of movement that is greater than 30° in extension and less than 120° in flexion. Causes of elbow stiffness can be classified as traumatic or atraumatic and as congenital or acquired. Any alteration affecting the stability elements of the elbow can lead to a reduction in the arc of movement. The classification is based on the specific structures involved (Kay’s classification), anatomical location (Morrey’s classification), or on the degree of severity of rigidity (Vidal’s classification). Diagnosis is the result of a combination of medical history, physical examination (evaluating both active and passive movements), and imaging. The loss of soft tissue elasticity could be the result of bleeding, edema, granulation tissue formation, and fibrosis. Preventive measures include immobilization in extension, use of post-surgical drain, elastic compression bandage and continuous passive motion. Conservative treatment is used when elbow stiffness has been present for less than six months and consists of the use of serial casts, static or dynamic splints, CPM, physical therapy, manipulations and functional re-education. If conservative treatment fails or is not indicated, surgery is performed. Extrinsic rigidity cases are usually managed with an open or arthroscopic release, while those that are due to intrinsic causes can be managed with arthroplasties. The elbow is a joint that is particularly prone to developing stiffness due to its anatomical and biomechanical complexity, therefore the treatment of this pathology represents a challenge for the physiotherapist and the surgeon alike.

Published: June 2020

Foot metastasis are rare and often overlooked due to non-specifical symptoms. This often leads to misdiagnosis delaying the right diagnosis. Metastatic disease of the foot is rare. Foot pain and swelling may be the presenting symptom of an occult malignancy. If metastatic disease is not kept in the differential diagnosis of foot pain, diagnosis and treatment will be delayed. The purpose of this study was to analyze articles presenting cases of foot metastasis to provide a more accurate incidence of symptomatic foot acrometastasis as well as to review the clinical course and outcomes. Studies were searched on PubMed/Medline from the inception to February 2020. All studies included in the review presented foot metastasis either with or without a known primary tumor. Most of the articles were case reports, to which we added two case reports of foot acrometastasis produced by our Institute. Forty-three studies with a total of 45 patients were included in this review. The literature published mostly concerning case reports about old patients (average age: 63,2), in a late phase of their disease. Lung cancer appeared to be the most common primary tumor, followed by endometrial and breast cancer. In the 36% of the cases foot metastasis were found when the primary site was still unknown. Calcaneus and metatarsal bones were the most common bones involved. Surgical solution is rare, the chosen treatments are often of palliative care. Prognosis was often poor, death occurred within 2 years since the discovery of foot metastasis in about 50% of cases.

Published: June 2020

Differential diagnosis of destructive osteolytic spinal lesions can be a diagnostic challenge. In this study, we described a rare case of spinal metastases from primary desmoplastic melanoma which had incorrectly been diagnosed and treated as tuberculous spondylodiscitis. An 82-year-old male patient with ongoing low back pain and a history of lumbar localized Pott’s performed a lumbar spine MRI that showed osteolytic lesion with first hypothesis of spondylodiscitis L2-L3. The patient was hospitalized and cause of worsening of the lumbar pain underwent a following series of non-diagnostic CT-guided and open lumbar biopsy at L2-L3 with unsuccessful antibiotic-antitubercular therapy. A new MRI revealed a worsening of previous lesions, extension of the osteolytic lesion at the level of L1-L2 and L3-L4 with neurological impairment. The diagnosis of metastatic melanoma was obtained with surgical decompression and open posterior biopsy procedure. The case described is pathognomonic of the difficulty in detecting the correct diagnosis in front of similar clinical and radiological manifestations. The presence of a previous Pott’s disease in the same involved vertebral site was of crucial importance in deflecting the correct diagnostic classification of the pathology, which was possible to ascertain only following an extensive biopsy sampling in the last surgery performed.

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumors (OFMTs) are rare musculoskeletal tumors of uncertain malignant potential. Most OFMTs arise from the subcutaneous tissue, skeletal muscles of extremities, trunk, or head-and-neck region. OFMTs are usually benign, but atypical and malignant OFMT have been described with recurrence and distant metastasis. Till date, the etiopathogenesis and exact line of differentiation of OFMT is still doubtful. We are presenting an unusual case of malignant OFMT of the tongue. It is a rare case of malignant OFMT affecting an unusual site.
Ovarian Endometriosis with Borderline Serous Tumor- Association or Coincidence – A Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Dayal Seema
Published: June 2020

Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial glands outside the endometrium, and ovary is the common site for endometriosis. Endometriosis can also transform into malignant tumors. When endometriosis is present within the tumors, the term endometriosis-derived tumor applies, whereas when endometriosis is recognized adjacent to the tumor, it is called as endometriosis-associated tumor. Borderline serous tumor is surface epithelial ovarian tumor. The endometriosis-associated ovarian malignancies are clear cell adenocarcinoma and endometrioid adenocarcinoma, whereas serous and mucinous are rare malignancies with endometriosis. Here, we are presenting a case report in which endometriosis was associated with borderline serous tumor.

Published: June 2020

Background: The incidence of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) is on the rise. Although the clinicopathologic characteristics of NENs have been previously reviewed in the literature, the data published in the Indian literature so far are sparse. This study aims to review the clinicopathological features of GEP-NENs, diagnosed at our institution, and that were classified and graded according to the World Health Organization 2010 classification system. Materials and Methods: One hundred patients with GEP-NENs presenting to our institute from August 2012 to May 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic data and tumor characteristics were expressed as number, percentage, and mean value. Tumor grade was correlated to metastasis through the Chi-square test. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the 100 cases studied, 58 were male and 42 were female. The most common primary site was the pancreas (n = 36), followed by the small intestine (n = 19), esophagus (n = 17), stomach (n = 15), colon (n = 6), rectum (n = 4), and appendix (n = 3). The incidence of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) Grade 1 (NET G1) was higher (n = 40) compared to NET Grade 2 (NET G2) (n = 25) and neuroendocrine carcinoma Grade 3 (NEC G3) (n = 35). Overall in these 100 cases, NET G1 tumors and NET G2 tumors were most common in the pancreas (n = 18/36) and (n = 13/36), respectively. NEC G3 tumors were most common in the esophagus (n = 16/17). The most common site of distant metastasis was the liver (n = 23/26). Conclusion: We elucidated the epidemiological and clinicopathological features of patients presenting to our institute with GEP-NENs.
Impact of Sociodemographic Factors and Nutrition on the Duration of Induction Phase of Chemotherapy in children with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia: A Tertiary Center Experience from North India
Authors: Aggarwal Priyanka , Singh TB , Gupta Vineeta
Published: June 2020

Background: Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk of infections, especially those living in poor hygienic conditions. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to assess the effect of weight, immunization status of the child at the start of treatment along with the socioeconomic status (SES), and demographic parameters, i.e., type of house, sanitary facility (SF), and source of drinking water on the duration of induction phase of chemotherapy (delayed if the patient received chemotherapy for >29 days). Materials and Methods: 110 pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients aged 1.5–14 years who underwent induction of remission from June 2015 to February 2018 were included. The immunization status and weight of the child were recorded at the start of treatment. SES was assessed using modified Kuppuswami scale and a questionnaire was used to determine various sociodemographic parameters. Results: The patients not immunized as per age (P = 0.000) and having poor demographic parameters, i.e., mud house (P = 0.000), absence of SF (P = 0.013), and nonfiltered drinking water (P = 0.005), had significant delay. The duration of induction phase of chemotherapy was not delayed with poor SES (P = 0.832). Although the duration was delayed in patients with weight ≥10 percentile, it was not statistically significant (P = 0.079). On analyzing the three demographic parameters together as Water-Sanitary Facility-Housing (WaSH) Score (0–4), the duration was also significantly delayed if the patients had WaSH score <2. Conclusion: The duration of induction phase of chemotherapy is delayed with inadequate immunization status and poor hygiene of the child.

Authors: Mishra Kundan , Jandial Aditya , Singh Vikram , Radotra Bishan Das , Malhotra Pankaj
Published: June 2020

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is the most common leukemia presenting with priapism. Due to social stigma or shyness, the real incidence of priapism in our population is difficult to estimate. Since the successful development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, the life expectancy of CML-chronic phase (CML-CP) has been comparable to the healthy population, and the importance of priapism has further magnified. As of now, the long-term outcome and fertility issues are not very well known. We present the case of a 24-year-old previously healthy gentleman who presented with priapism and was diagnosed as CML-CP. He achieved major molecular response at 18 months. On follow-up at 2 years since the diagnosis, he offers no complaint except moderate erectile dysfunction (International Index of Erectile Function score 11), compromising his quality of life.

Published: June 2020

Historically, cancer is known to be a genetic disease. It is now realized that it involves epigenetic abnormalities along with genetic alterations. Epigenetics is an extra layer of instruction that lies upon DNA and controls how the genes are read and expressed. It simply means changes in phenotype without a change in genotype. In this review we aim to discuss the fundamentals of epigenetics, role of these alterations in carcinogenesis and its implications for epigenetic therapies.
Investigation of the Effect of Combined Drying for Rainbow Trout Fillets and Comparison with Hot-air Drying
Authors: Ismail Osman , Gokce Kocabay Ozlem
Published: June 2020

In this study, drying kinetics, chemical composition and surface color for fillets samples, namely Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) subjected to combined drying (ultrasonic assisted vacuum drying) and hot-air drying were compared at full length between 50-70°C. Drying process carried out entirely in the falling rate period. The results suggested that the moisture content was influenced by the combined drying method and the drying temperature. The shortest drying time was obtained using combined drying method at 70°C. The combined drying method made shorter the drying process and enhanced the effective moisture diffusivity by comparison with hot-air drying method. The activation energies were observed using a modified Arrhenius type equation as of 2.392 and 4.83 kW kg-1 for combined and hot-air drying, respectively. Quality characteristics of fillets samples were specified as physical (moisture content, color values) and chemical (protein, fat and ash). Seven different drying models were considered for moisture ratios using nonlinear regression analysis. The consequences of regression analysis stated that the Midilli et al., model best fits data set. According to the results, the highest effective moisture diffusivity was determined in the fillets dried with the ultrasonic assisted vacuum drying method and they increased with increasing drying temperatures. Ultrasonic treatment accelerated the vacuum drying process for the fillets. Also, the ultrasonic assisted vacuum drying method is a better technology to preserve the original material and prevent thermal damage.

Authors: Pokrovskaya O. D.
Published: June 2020

The subject of the research is the activation of participation of students and young scientists of specialized universities in the youth competition of JSC “Russian Railways” “New link”. The relevance is related to the practical need to balance the support of contest participants-project authors-at all stages of the competition.

The novelty and uniqueness of the offer “Institute mentor”: in the ”one-stop shop“ mode for students from specialized universities, Roszheldor University acts as an incubator of new business ideas, and the Institute Mentor as a tutor, business coach for support at the initial stage of projects. The Institute Mentor is an important link between railway applied science and branch railway education.

Used analytical, marketing, and project methods, materials for general access to the tender documentation.

At the initial stage of project preparation, instead of working independently on the idea, it is proposed to attach an Institute mentor to the students participating in the competition. At the same time, the greatest efficiency can be achieved if the team is formed of a student, a young scientist and a young specialist. As a result, a comprehensive project will be formed at the first stage, and teams will receive tools for effective preparation of work.

Background: The distribution of non-malignant hematological disorder varies across globe by sex, age groups and type of disease. The objectives of this study were to determine distribution of non-malignant hematological disorders by sex, age groups and type of disease based on bone marrow aspiration in population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Pathology, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan from Jan.-Dec. 2014. 116 cases with non-malignant hematogical disorders were selected. Sex, age groups and type of disease were analyzed by count and percentage with confidence intervals for proportions. Chi-square goodness-of-fit test was used to testify two hypotheses.

Results: Out of 116 cases, 63(54.31%, 80%CI 48.38-60.24) were men and 53(45.69%, 80% CI 39.76-51.62) women. Age groups wise; 31(26.72%, 80%CI 21.46-31.99) were child (≤17 years), 57(49.14%, 80%CI 43.19-55.09) young adult (18-35 years), 19(16.38%, 80%CI 11.98-20.78) middle-aged adults (36-55 years) and nine (7.76%, 80%CI 4.57-10.94) older adults (≥56 years). Frequency of type of disease was; hemolytic anemia 17(14.66%, 80%CI 10.45-18.86), megaloblastic anemia 16(13.79%, 80%CI 9.69-17.9), bone marrow hypoplasia 14(12.07%, 80%CI 8.19-15.95), iron deficiency anemia 13(11.21%, 80%CI 7.45-14.96), mixed deficiency anemia 9(7.76%, 80%CI 4.57-10.94), ITP 9(7.76%, 80%CI 4.57-10.94), aplastic anemia 8(6.89%, 80%CI 3.88-9.91), bi-liniage cytopenia 7(6.03%, 80%CI 3.2-8.87), erythroid hyperplasia 3(2.59%, 80%CI .7-4.47) and malaria 2(1.72%, 80%CI 0.18-3.27). In 18(15.52%, 80%CI 11.21-19.83) cases the bone marrow was diluted. Null hypothesis for distribution of sex (p=.3532) was accepted while that for age groups was rejected (p=

Published: June 2020

Background: Children with cleft palate oftenly present with otitis media with effusion. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of otitis media with effusion among cleft palate children.

Material & Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of ENT, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan from June 2017 to December 2018. Ninety patients were selected through consecutive sampling technique. All children 3-10 years of age with cleft palate were included. Patients with combined cleft palate and cleft lip were excluded. All patients underwent otoscopy and tympanometry. Type B tympanogram was considered as evidence of fluid in the middle ear. Later on patients with only Type B tympanogram underwent myringotomies.

Results: Out of 90 (180 ears) patients 61 (67.78%) were males and 29 (32.22%) females. Mean age of the sample was 6.15±2.226 years (3-10, range 7 years). On otoscopic examination, 107/180 (59.45%) ears were suspected to have fluid in the middle ear. Type B tympanogram was detected in 125/180 (69.45%) ears. Only 38/90 (42.20%) patients (76/180 ears), underwent pure tone audiometry. Based on otoscopic, tympanometric and audiometric findings, myringotomies were performed in 125/180 (69.45%) ears. At myringotomy fluid was present in middle ear space of 98/180 (78.4%) ears. Out of total 180 ears the true frequency of otitis media with effusion was 98/180 (54.45%).

Conclusions: The frequency of otitis media with effusion in patients with cleft palate is high. Tympanometry is fairly sensitive in diagnosing this condition in these patients.
ABCDE OF COMMUNITY NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT
Authors: Ahmad Iftikhar
Published: June 2020

Nutritional status of an individual generally depends on two factors; external factors including food safety, cultural, political & socio-economic and internal factors such as sex, age, behavior, physical activity, nutrition and overall health. Nutritional status of a community is the sum total of the nutritional statuses of the individuals residing in that particular community. Nutritional assessment is a detailed investigation ideally by a physician and a dietician to identify and quantify clinically relevant malnutrition. Nutritional management as a result of nutritional screening & assessment effectively reduces the risk of morbidity and mortality among communities. Nutritional screening involves two methods: directly through objective criteria from individuals and indirectly using community health and nutritional indices.
