Authors: Pallavicini Federica , Pepe Alessandro , Clerici Massimo , Mantovani Fabrizia
Published: August 2022

Background

Virtual reality can play an important role during the COVID-19 pandemic in the health care sector. This technology has the potential to supplement the traditional in-hospital medical training and treatment, and may increase access to training and therapies in various health care settings.

Objective

This systematic review aimed to describe the literature on health care–targeted virtual reality applications during the COVID-19 crisis.

Methods

We conducted a systematic search of the literature on the PsycINFO, Web of Science, and MEDLINE databases, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. The search string was as follows: “[(virtual reality)] AND [(COVID-19) OR (coronavirus) OR (SARS-CoV-2) OR (healthcare)].” Papers published in English after December 2019 in peer-reviewed journals were selected and subjected to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We used the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool to assess the quality of studies and the risk of bias.

Results

Thirty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Seventeen studies showed the usefulness of virtual reality during the COVID-19 crisis for reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, and promoting physical activity. Twenty-two studies revealed that virtual reality was a helpful learning and training tool during the COVID-19 crisis in several areas, including emergency medicine, nursing, and pediatrics. This technology was also used as an educational tool for increasing public understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic. Different levels of immersion (ie, immersive and desktop virtual reality), types of head-mounted displays (ie, PC-based, mobile, and standalone), and content (ie, 360° videos and photos, virtual environments, virtual reality video games, and embodied virtual agents) have been successfully used. Virtual reality was helpful in both face-to-face and remote trials.

Conclusions

Virtual reality has been applied frequently in medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic, with positive effects for treating several health conditions and for medical education and training. Some barriers need to be overcome for the broader adoption of virtual reality in the health care panorama.

Optimization of a Quality Improvement Tool for Cancer Diagnosis in Primary Care: Qualitative Study
Authors: Chima Sophie , Martinez-Gutierrez Javiera , Hunter Barbara , Manski-Nankervis Jo-Anne , Emery Jon
Published: August 2022

Background

The most common route to a diagnosis of cancer is through primary care. Delays in diagnosing cancer occur when an opportunity to make a timely diagnosis is missed and is evidenced by patients visiting the general practitioner (GP) on multiple occasions before referral to a specialist. Tools that minimize prolonged diagnostic intervals and reduce missed opportunities to investigate patients for cancer are therefore a priority.

Objective

This study aims to explore the usefulness and feasibility of a novel quality improvement (QI) tool in which algorithms flag abnormal test results that may be indicative of undiagnosed cancer. This study allows for the optimization of the cancer recommendations before testing the efficacy in a randomized controlled trial.

Methods

GPs, practice nurses, practice managers, and consumers were recruited to participate in individual interviews or focus groups. Participants were purposively sampled as part of a pilot and feasibility study, in which primary care practices were receiving recommendations relating to the follow-up of abnormal test results for prostate-specific antigen, thrombocytosis, and iron-deficiency anemia. The Clinical Performance Feedback Intervention Theory (CP-FIT) was applied to the analysis using a thematic approach.

Results

A total of 17 interviews and 3 focus groups (n=18) were completed. Participant themes were mapped to CP-FIT across the constructs of context, recipient, and feedback variables. The key facilitators to use were alignment with workflow, recognized need, the perceived importance of the clinical topic, and the GPs’ perception that the recommendations were within their control. Barriers to use included competing priorities, usability and complexity of the recommendations, and knowledge of the clinical topic. There was consistency between consumer and practitioner perspectives, reporting language concerns associated with the word cancer, the need for more patient-facing resources, and time constraints of the consultation to address patients’ worries.

Conclusions

There was a recognized need for the QI tool to support the diagnosis of cancer in primary care, but barriers were identified that hindered the usability and actionability of the recommendations in practice. In response, the tool has been refined and is currently being evaluated as part of a randomized controlled trial. Successful and effective implementation of this QI tool could support the detection of patients at risk of undiagnosed cancer in primary care and assist in preventing unnecessary delays.

Authors: CHIU I-Min , Cheng Chi-Yung , Chen Tien-Yu , Wang Yi-min , Cheng Chi-Yung , Kung Chia-Te , Cheng Fu-Jen , Yau Fei-Fei Flora , Lin Chun-Hung Richard
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND

Hyperkalemia is a critical condition especially in the intensive care unit. There was no accurate and noninvasive method for recognizing hyperkalemia event from ambulatory electrocardiogram monitor so far.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims at improving the accuracy on hyperkalemia predictions from ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors through a personalized transfer learning method by training a generic model and fine tuning it with personal data.

METHODS

This is a retrospective cohort study using open-source data from Waveform Database Matched Subset from Medical information Mart from Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III). We included patients with multiple serum potassium test results, and matched ECG data from MIMIC-III database. A one-dimensional convolution neural network based deep learning model is first developed to predict hyperkalemia in a generic population. Once the model achieved a state-of-art performance, it was then utilized in an active transfer learning process to perform patient-adaptive heartbeat classification tasks.

RESULTS

The results show that by acquiring a few data from each new patient, the personalized model can improve the accuracy of hyperkalemia detection significantly from an average of 0.604 ± 0.211 to 0.980 ± 0.078 when compared with the generic model. The Area Under the receiver operating characteristic Curve level also improved from 0.729 ± 0.240 to 0.945 ± 0.094.

CONCLUSIONS

By utilizing deep transfer learning method, we were able to build a clinical standard model for hyperkalemia detection from ambulatory ECG monitor. These findings could potentially be extended to applications that continuously monitor one's ECG for early alerts of hyperkalemia and avoiding unnecessary blood tests.

Morphological characterization of femoral head is predictive for femoral neck fracture: radiographic analyses of 209 patients with femoral head fractures (Preprint)
Authors: Wu Shenghui , Wang Wei , Li Ruiyang , Guo Jingyi , Miao Yu , Li Guangyi , Mei Jiong
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND

The injury degree of the femoral head is a significant predictor of femoral neck fracture (FNF) incidence in patients with femoral head fractures (FHFs). However, the exact measurement methods have yet been clearly defined.

OBJECTIVE

To design a new measurement for the injury degree of the femoral head and investigate its association with FHFs with FNF.

METHODS

A consecutive series of 209 patients with FHFs was assessed regarding patient characteristics, computed tomography images, and rate of FNF. New parameters for injury degree of femoral head, including percentage of maximum defect length (PMDL) in 2D parameter and percentage of fracture area (PFA) in 3D parameter, were respectively measured. Reliability tests for all parameters were evaluated in 100 randomly selected patients. The sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, and positive and negative predictive values for different parameter cut-off values were employed to test the diagnostic accuracy for FNF prediction.

RESULTS

Intra- and inter-class coefficients for all parameters were ≥ 0.887. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that average PMDL across all three planes and PFA were the significant predictors of FNF (p < 0.05). Areas under curves (AUCs) of all parameters were ≥ 0.719 (p < 0.05). The cutoff values of the average PMDL across all three planes and PFA were 91.65% and 29.68%. The sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, predictive positive value and negative predictive value of 2D (3D) parameters were 91.7% (83.3%), 93.4% (58.4%), 13.8 (2.0), 0.09 (0.29), 45.83% (10.87%) and 99.46% (98.29%).

CONCLUSIONS

The new measurement for injury degree of femoral head appears to be reliable and indicates strong emergence of femoral neck fracture in patients with femoral head fractures. 2D and 3D parameters in FHFs have been proposed in this study, which were a feasible adjunctive diagnostic tool in identifying FNFs.

Class Actions for a Writ of Mandamus Concerning Tax Matters in Brazil: Between Law and Political Philosophy
Authors: Becho Renato Lopes , Geraldi Guilherme Paes de Barros
Published: August 2022

This article aimed to analyze, exclusively from the point of view of Law, whether or not the judicial precedents from the Brazilian higher courts are sufficient to deal with the problems related to the use of class actions for a writ of mandamus concerning tax matters. Faced with a negative answer, the authors sought a multidisciplinary approach and found in Political Philosophy elements to broaden the debate and find more robust solutions to the problems presented. The first part of this analysis focuses on the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice, which prescribes that lawsuits for a writ of mandamus seeking to assert the right of the taxpayer to tax offset must be filed together with prima facie evidence that the taxpayer is entitled to receive a tax credit, although the credit amount itself is not discussed at this stage of the lawsuit. Then, our research turned to the analysis of whether or not the content of these precedents is compatible with the specificities of class actions claiming several rights affected by a common question of law. To do so, we looked into the nature of trade associations and entities’ extraordinary standing to sue by substitution, which is inherent to class actions for a writ of mandamus, and the need for the common aspects of the dispute to prevail over its individual aspects. Otherwise, the collective relief granted in such class actions would be ineffective. The methodology used was analytical, comparing general objectives (indicated by Political Philosophy) and specific objectives of the legal system (related to Law) with statues, jurisprudence and, mainly, precedents related to the theme. The conclusion of this analytical study between Law and Political Philosophy is that the limitations imposed by the judicial precedents from the Brazilian higher courts are not compatible with class actions for a writ of mandamus.
Holocene and Upper Pleistocene stratigraphy of Xochimilco lake, central Mexico

Published: August 2022

The lacustrine system developed in the basin of Mexico has been of great interest in studies of various geological and social disciplines. Its sediments preserve the history of the environmental changes that occurred during the late Quaternary. Between 2016 and 2018, a set of lacustrine sediment cores were collected in the Xochimilco sub-basin, located south of the basin of Mexico. From these sedimentary sequences, a master sequence was constructed that represents the upper 66.5 m of the lacustrine deposits. For the establishment of its stratigraphic column, 15 lithotypes were defined from their sedimentary components in which the clastic components made up of silicates dominate, mostly silt and clay in size. The most abundant biogenic fraction is diatoms that frequently form oozes, and ostracods are a common component in most of the sequence, which locally form hashes. Interbedded with the clastic and biogenic lithotypes are volcaniclastic deposits. Eight lithological units were defined based on their dominant lithotypes. The time scale of the sequence is still uncertain for the oldest sediments; however, it is estimated that it covers the last 300000 to 350000 years. From this temporality, environmental oscillations of millennial scales are inferred. Diatom-rich laminated sediments represent the deepest phases in the lake. The deposits with higher biogenic and authigenic calcareous components indicate the phases of higher ionic concentration during which the lake was shallower. The detailed analysis of the stratigraphy and the description of the sedimentary components in Xochimilco allows to establish an initial interpretation of the variations in the depositional environments, and provides the base from which the detailed studies of paleoclimatic indicators will be supported.
Comparative Study of Bending Loads at Wheel Centres of Heavy Commercial Vehicles
Authors: Korrayi Rajesh , Dixit Vishnu Chandra
Published: August 2022

Abstract: In commercial vehicles, leaf springs play a major role in designing the suspension system. Leaf springs are the most popular designs having multiple leaves in contact with each other and show hysteresis behaviour when loaded and unloaded. The leaf spring acts as a linkage for holding the axle in position and thus separate linkages are not necessary. It makes the construction of the suspension simple and strong. Because the positioning of the axle is carried out by the leaf springs, it is disadvantageous to use soft springs i.e. springs with low spring constant. Leaf springs are excellent in suspending large loads, since they are designed using 'bending beam' equations. The stiffness of the leaf spring assembly can be altered as desired, by changing the number of leaves. The objective of this paper is to compare the bending loads coming at the rear wheel centres of the vehicle when it runs in torture track and over a single bump. Bending loads were

Authors: Maciel Wilson Ravelli Elizeu , Thiago Fernando , Gonçalves Caroline
Published: August 2022

O contexto de um mercado cada vez mais competitivo, no qual empresas buscam se especializar e atingir nichos específicos, somado às mudanças na estrutura familiar, como a inserção da mulher no mercado de trabalho, o adiamento da gravidez e menor número de crianças por casa, propiciaram um ambiente de ganho de poder de decisão da criança junto à sua família, fazendo do mercado infantil um atrativo para as empresas. Desta maneira as empresas buscam formas de persuasão para com este nicho, dentre elas, está a adoção de signos no conteúdo de suas propagandas, os quais podem ser analisados através da semiótica. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi explorar, por meio da metodologia da tríade de pontos de Peirce, como os signos são adotados pelas empresas alimentícias na construção de comerciais destinados ao público infantil. Verificou-se a presença destes signos em propagandas televisivas de alimentos infantis, no uso das cores nos anúncios, nas mascotes, na trilha sonora, no ambiente e na escrita. O uso de cores primárias, formatos de letra com continuidade, contextos de diversão e aventura e a presença de mascotes criam uma atmosfera que envolve o consumidor infantil, aproximando simbolicamente a marca à realidade lúdica da criança.

A lesão do manguito rotador apresenta-se como uma das principais causas de dor no ombro, sendo uma condição com grande prevalência, afetando 30-50% da população, tornando-se um problema de saúde comum, impactando na vida pessoal e profissional. A lesão do músculo supraespinhal acontece principalmente devido a movimentos repetitivos do ombro, ocasionando dor crônica e limitação de movimento. Tal condição leva a busca constante pelo serviço de fisioterapia. O objetivo geral do estudo foi identificar as abordagens fisioterapêuticas utilizadas em pacientes com tendinopatia do músculo supraespinhal. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura integrativa, através das bases de dados Scielo e PubMed, no período entre fevereiro a novembro de 2020. Foram encontrados 35 artigos e selecionados 6 para compor esta revisão. Diante dos resultados encontrados percebeu-se que o tratamento fisioterapêutico por meio da combinação de exercício terapêutico, eletroterapia e terapia manual traz benefícios para os pacientes com tendinopatia do músculo supraespinhal, melhorando a funcionalidade e a qualidade de vida. Conclui-se que não existe uma técnica soberana em relação à outra, porém a reabilitação de pacientes com tendinopatia do músculo supraespinhal se mostra mais eficaz quando utilizada a associação de exercícios terapêuticos com a eletroterapia, potencializando os benefícios dos resultados.

Background: The introduction of the frozen elephant trunk (FET)
technique for total arch replacement (TAR) has revolutionized the field
of aortovascular surgery. However, although FET yields excellent
results, the risk of certain complications requiring secondary
intervention remains present, negating its one-step hybrid advantage
over conventional techniques. This systematic review and meta-analysis
sought to evaluate controversies regarding the incidence of FET-related
complications, with a focus on aortic remodeling, distal stent-graft
induced new entry (dSINE) and endoleak, in patients with type A aortic
dissection (TAAD) and/or thoracic aortic aneurysm. Materials and
methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using multiple
electronic databases including EMBASE, Scopus, and PubMed/MEDLINE to
identify evidence on TAR with FET in patients with TAAD and/or aneurysm.
Studies published up until January 2022 were included, and after
applying exclusion criteria, a total of 43 studies were extracted.
Results: A total of 5068 patients who underwent FET procedure
were included. The pooled estimates of dSINE and endoleak were 2% (95%
CI 0.01-0.06, I = 78%) and 3% (95% CI 0.01-0.11,
I = 89%), respectively. The pooled rate of
secondary thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) post-FET was 7%
(95% CI 0.05-0.12, I = 89%) whilst the pooled rate
of false lumen thrombosis at the level of stent-graft was 91% (95% CI
0.75-0.97, I = 92%). After subgroup analysis,
heterogeneity for dSINE and endoleak resolved among European patients,
where Thoraflex Hybrid and E-Vita stent-grafts were used (both I
= 0%). In addition, heterogeneity for secondary
TEVAR after FET resolved among Asians receiving Cronus (I
= 15.1%) and Frozenix stent
grafts (I = 1%).
Conclusion: Our results showed that the FET procedure in
patients with TAAD and/or aneurysm is associated with excellent results,
with a particularly low incidence of dSINE and endoleak as well as
highly favorable aortic remodeling. However the type of stent-graft and
the study location were sources of heterogeneity, emphasizing the need
for multicenter studies directly comparing FET grafts. Finally,
Thoraflex Hybrid can be considered the primary FET device choice due to
its superior results.

Published: August 2022

Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) shows bidirectional characterization in modulating food intake and energy homeostasis. We demonstrate that MC4R knockdown (KD) in the PVH can attenuate AMPA receptor (AMPAR)–mediated postsynaptic responses by altering the phosphorylation of AMPAR GluA1 subunit through the protein kinase A (PKA)–dependent signaling cascade and simultaneously lead to rapid body weight gain. Furthermore, PKA KD in the PVH engendered similar electrophysiological and behavioral phenotypes as in MC4R KD mice. Importantly, we observed that the reduction of AMPAR GluA1 expression not only led to attenuated synaptic responses but also caused body weight gain, suggesting that the aberration of synaptic responses may be one of the crucial pathogeny of obesity. Our study provides the synaptic and molecular explanations of how body weight is regulated by MC4R in the PVH.

Strategi Pembinaan Akhlak STRATEGI PEMBINAAN AKHLAK MELALUI METODE TA’WIDIYAH DAN MAU’IZAH PADA ANAK-ANAK DI PENGAJIAN AL- HIKMAH DESA BENTENG
Authors: Karomah Nurul
Published: August 2022

Pengabdian ini tentang strategi pembinaan akhlak pada anak di pengajian Al- Hikmah yang dilatarbelakangi karena belum optimalnya kegiatan pembelajaran yang dilaksanakan di Pengajian Al-Hikmah. Anak-anak hanya mengaji terkait Al-Qur’an saja tidak diberikan pembinaan akhlak dan dalam pelaksanaanya jarang didampingi oleh guru. Dengan demikian akhlak anak-anak menjadi kurang baik, dilihat dengan sebagian anak yang tidak memiliki sopan santun ketika bertemu dengan guru, maupun orang lain.

Desa Way Muli merupakan sebuah desa yang berlokasi di kaki gunung Rajabasa, daerah ini juga sangat dekat dengan garis Pantai. Potensi desa ini sangatlah besar jika dikembangkan, disamping itu juga ada potensi lain yaitu tsunami. Tercatat pada bulan Desember 2018 pesisir pantai di Lampung Selatan dihantam tsunami termasuk Desa Way Muli sendiri. Berdasarkan hal tersebut perlunya kesadaran seluruh pihak dan pembuatan peta identifikasi daerah rawan tsunami, serta pelatihan dan simulasi untuk upaya mitigasinya. Pembuatan peta daerah rawan bencana terbaru perlu dilakukan untuk memetakan dan memeberikan informasi daerah yang rawan akibat tsunami. Kegiatan pengabdian ini diharapkan sesuai dengan tujuan untuk membekali warga di Desa Way Muli, Kecamatan Rajabasa pengetahuan tentang potensi bencana tsunami dan bencana lain yang menyertai, dan memberikan simulasi early warning mitigasi bencana tsunami. Berdasarkan peta yang dihasilkan daerah Way Muli terdiri dari setidaknya 3 (tiga) kelompok yaitu daerah berwarna merah (daerah paling rawan) berjarak sekitar 20-30 meter dari permukaan laut, daerah berwarna kuning (daerah sedang) sebagian besar berjarak sekitar di atas 30-70 meter serta daerah berwarna hijau (daerah paling aman) berjarak diatas 70 meter. Pemaparan yang dilaksanakan pada sosialisasi setidaknya ada tiga poin penting yaitu bagaimana proses terjadinya gempa dan tsunami, bagaimana cara mitigasi yang benar serta menumbuhkan kesadaran masyarakat agar lebih siap akan potensi kejadian yang sama dikemudian hari.

O biodiesel é um combustível renovável que tem potencial para substituir o diesel, apesar do seu elevado custo de produção. Para reduzi-lo, o uso de resíduos oleosos (RO) como matéria-prima lipídica é recomendado. A fim de contornar os problemas operacionais na síntese do biodiesel de RO são estudados novos catalisadores. Nesse contexto, as lipases são interessantes por atuarem em condições reacionais brandas e evitarem a saponificação. A fim de identificar tendências e lacunas de pesquisa, uma análise bibliométrica das publicações sobre biodiesel obtido pela transesterificação enzimática de RO foi realizada. Houve dois períodos de crescimento global das publicações (2005–2010 e 2013–2020) e um período de declínio (2011–2012). China, Brasil e Índia foram os países que mais publicaram. O óleo residual de cozinha (ORC) foi o resíduo oleoso mais estudado, enquanto as lipases dos gêneros Aspergillus e Rhizopus apareceram com maior frequência nas publicações avaliadas. Como tendências, foi possível apontar o uso das lipases de células íntegras livres e imobilizadas, principalmente. Como oportunidades de pesquisa destacou-se a transesterificação enzimática por etanólise de RO, o emprego simultâneo de ORC como fonte de carbono para as fermentações de lipases e como matéria-prima para o biodiesel e o screening por microrganismos promissores.

La cultura masiva todaví­a representa un objeto de estudio contencioso para las humanidades y ciencias sociales argentinas. Por esta razón ¡Destape! Sex, democracy, & freedom in postdictatorial Argentina de Natalia Milanesio (2019), recientemente editado en español por Siglo XXI como Destape. La cultura sexual en la Argentina después de la dictadura, prueba ser un aporte doblemente significativo. Ofrece una exploración extensiva sobre un tema poco trabajado como el “destape” sexual que tomó por asalto cines, televisores y quioscos argentinos luego de la recuperación de la democracia en 1983 y, para hacerlo, despliega una serie de recursos conceptuales novedosos para la bibliografí­a local.

Hvernig gengur leikskólakennurum og grunnskólakennurum að samræma vinnu og einkalíf?
Authors: Sigursteinsdóttir Hjördís
Published: August 2022

Almenn vellíðan fylgir því að ráða við daglegar áskoranir í lífinu, svo sem að geta haldið jafnvægi milli þeirra ólíku hlutverka sem við gegnum daglega. Markmið þessarar rannsóknar var að skoða hvernig leikskólakennurum og grunnskólakennurum gengi að samræma vinnu og einkalíf og skoða tengsl þess við starfsánægju, löngun til að hætta í starfi, starfskröfur og yfirvinnu. Rafrænn spurningalisti var lagður fimm sinnum fyrir grunnskólakennara og leikskólakennara á árunum 2010–2019. Svarhlutfall var á bilinu 62–72%. Niðurstöðurnar sýna að leikskólakennurum og grunnskólakennurum gekk verr að samræma vinnu og einkalíf seinni árin en hin fyrri. Einnig sýna niðurstöðurnar að þeir sem náðu betra jafnvægi milli vinnu og einkalífs upplifðu meiri starfsánægju, höfðu minni löngun til að hætta í starfi, upplifðu minna álag í starfi og töldu sig þurfa sjaldnar að vinna aukavinnu. Mikilvægt er að hafa þetta í huga við að skapa leikskólakennurum og grunnskólakennurum gott starfsumhverfi.
