Older Adults’ Experiences of Behavior Change Support in a Digital Fall Prevention Exercise Program: Qualitative Study Framed by the Self-determination Theory (Preprint)
Authors: Pettersson Beatrice , Janols Rebecka , Wiklund Maria , Lundin-Olsson Lillemor , Sandlund Marlene
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Exercise is an effective intervention to prevent falls in older adults; however, long-term adherence is often poor. To increase adherence, additional support for behavior change has been advocated. However, consistency in the reporting of interventions using behavior change techniques is lacking. Recently, a classification system has been developed to increase consistency in studies using behavior change techniques within the self-determination theory.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore expressions of self-determination among community-dwelling older adults using a self-managed digital fall prevention exercise program comprising behavior change support (the Safe Step program), which was developed in co-creation with intended users.

METHODS

The qualitative study design was based on open-ended responses to questionnaires, and individual and focus group interviews. A deductive qualitative content analysis was applied using the classification system of motivation and behavior change techniques as an analytical matrix, followed by an inductive analysis. Twenty-five participants took part in a feasibility study and exercised in their homes with the Safe Step program for 4 months. The exercise program was available on computers,
smartphones, and tablets, and was fully self-managed.

RESULTS

In the deductive analysis, expressions of support were demonstrated for all three basic human psychological needs, namely, autonomy, competence, and relatedness. These expressions were related to 11 of the 21 motivation and behavior change techniques in the classification system. The inductive analysis indicated that autonomy (to be in control) was valued and enabled individual adaptations according to different rationales for realizing exercise goals. However, the experience of autonomy was also two-sided and depended on the participants’ competence in exercise and the use of technology. The clarity of the program and exercise videos was seen as key for support in performance and competent choices. Although augmented techniques for social support were requested, support through relatedness was found within the program.

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, the Safe Step program supported the establishment of new exercise routines, as well as the three basic human psychological needs, with autonomy and competence being expressed as central in this context. Based on the participants’ experiences, a proposed addition to the classification system used as an analytical matrix has been presented.

Predicting Biologic Therapy Outcome of Patients With Spondyloarthritis: Joint Models for Longitudinal and Survival Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Barata Carolina , Rodrigues Ana Maria , Canhão Helena , Vinga Susana , Carvalho Alexandra M
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Rheumatic diseases are one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. Among them, spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of highly debilitating diseases, with an early onset age, which significantly impacts patients’ quality of life, health care systems, and society in general. Recent treatment options consist of using biologic therapies, and establishing the most beneficial option according to the patients’ characteristics is a challenge that needs to be overcome. Meanwhile, the emerging availability of electronic medical records has made necessary the development of methods that can extract insightful information while handling all the challenges of dealing with complex, real-world data.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to achieve a better understanding of SpA patients’ therapy responses and identify the predictors that affect them, thereby enabling the prognosis of therapy success or failure.

METHODS

A data mining approach based on joint models for the survival analysis of the biologic therapy failure is proposed, which considers the information of both baseline and time-varying variables extracted from the electronic medical records of SpA patients from the database, Reuma.pt.

RESULTS

Our results show that being a male, starting biologic therapy at an older age, having a larger time interval between disease start and initiation of the first biologic drug, and being human leukocyte antigen (HLA)–B27 positive are indicators of a good prognosis for the biological drug survival; meanwhile, having disease onset or biologic therapy initiation occur in more recent years, a larger number of education years, and higher values of C-reactive protein or Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) at baseline are all predictors of a greater risk of failure of the first biologic therapy.

CONCLUSIONS

Among this Portuguese subpopulation of SpA patients, those who were male, HLA-B27 positive, and with a later biologic therapy starting date or a larger time interval between disease start and initiation of the first biologic therapy showed longer therapy adherence. Joint models proved to be a valuable tool for the analysis of electronic medical records in the field of rheumatic diseases and may allow for the identification of potential predictors of biologic therapy failure.

Authors: Ahmed Arfan , Aziz Sarah , Angus Marco , Alzubaidi Mahmood , Abd-Alrazaq Alaa , Giannicchi Anna , Househ Mowafa
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Big Data offers promise in the field of mental health and plays an important part when it comes to automation, analysis and prevention of mental health disorders

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this scoping review is to explore how big data was exploited in mental health. This review specifically addresses both the volume, velocity, veracity and variety of collected data as well as how data was attained, stored, managed, and kept private and secure.

METHODS

Six databases were searched to find relevant articles. PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) was used as a guideline methodology to develop a comprehensive scoping review.

RESULTS

General and Big Data features were extracted from the studies reviewed. Various technologies were noted when it comes to using Big Data in mental health with depression and anxiety being the focus of most of the studies. Some of these included Machine Learning (ML) models in 22 studies of which Random Forest (RF) was the most widely used. Logistic Regression (LR) was used in 4 studies, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) was used in 3 studies.

CONCLUSIONS

In order to utilize Big Data as a way to mitigate mental health disorders and prevent their appearance altogether a great effort is still needed. Integration and analysis of Big Data, doctors and researchers alike can find patterns in otherwise difficult to identify data by making use of AI and Machine Learning techniques. Similarly, machine learning and artificial intelligence can be used to automate the analytical process.

Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Life Goals is an evidence-based self-management intervention that assists individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) by aligning BD symptom coping strategies with their personal goals. The intervention can be availed via in-person and telephonic sessions, and it has been recently developed as an individualized, customizable mobile app.

OBJECTIVE

We examined the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of the Life Goals self-management app among individuals diagnosed with BD who used the app for up to 6 months.

METHODS

A total of 28 individuals with BD used the Life Goals app on their personal smartphone for 6 months. They completed key clinical outcome measurements of functioning, disability, and psychiatric symptoms at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months, in addition to a poststudy survey about usability and satisfaction.

RESULTS

Participants used the app for a median of 25 times (IQR 13-65.75), and for a longer time during the first 3 months of the study. The modules on depression and anxiety were the most frequently used, accounting for 35% and 22% of total usage, respectively. Overall, the study participants found the app useful (15/25, 60%) and easy to use (18/25, 72%), and they reported that the screen displayed the material adequately (22/25, 88%). However, less than half of the participants found the app helpful in managing their health (10/25, 40%) or in making progress on their wellness goals (9/25, 36%). Clinical outcomes showed a trend for improvements in mental and physical health and mania-related well-being.

CONCLUSIONS

The Life Goals app showed feasibility of use among individuals with BD. Higher user engagement was observed in the initial 3 months with users interested more frequently in the mood modules than other wellness modules. Participants reported acceptability with the ease of app use and satisfaction with the app user interface, but the app showed low success in encouraging self-management within this small sample. The Life Goals app is a mobile health technology that can provide individuals with serious mental illness with more flexible access to evidence-based treatments.
The impact of Covid-19 pandemic on mental health and help-seeking behavior among Italian university students. A descriptive and cross-sectional study (Preprint)
Authors: Di Consiglio Micaela , Merola Sheila , Pascucci Tiziana , Violani Cristiano , Couyoumdjian Alessandro
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

To reduce the spread of Covid-19 the Italian government imposed a rigid lockdown and, for a whole year, it kept declaring stringent rules to curb the community spread. The pandemic had a great negative impact on general population mental health, including the one of university students.

OBJECTIVE

The study provides an overview about symptomatology and help-seeking behavior of university students before and during the Covid-19 pandemic and it aims to evaluate the impact of the different phases of the pandemic on students' mental health.

METHODS

We collected data in four time points: (1) March 2019-February 2020, (2) March-May 2020, (3) October-December 2020, (4) January 2020-March 2021. A total of 454 students have been included in the study. Students answered a socio-demographic questionnaire and a standardized questionnaire to evaluate a broad range of symptoms of psychopathology. Descriptive analyses have been conducted to explore student’s symptomatology and help-seeking behavior. Considering the significant gender-difference distribution between groups, groups comparison analysis has been conducted considering male and female separately.

RESULTS

Considering the total sample size, results suggest that students have experienced moderate to severe levels of depressive, obsessive-compulsive and anxiety symptomatology. About 14% of the sample met criteria for at least one mental health disorders, but most of them were not receiving mental health care. Moreover, during the lockdown, compared with other phases, female students reported worse symptoms in the following dimension: obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, paranoid ideation and psychoticism. The increasing symptomatology quickly disappeared after the lifting of the quarantine. Results showed any difference in the male groups.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings support the view of a negative mental health condition of university students and indicate an increase of symptomatology during the lockdown among female students. Preventive and support strategies should be improved in the university context.

El retiro de los fondos previsionales y la protección de los derechos fundamentales en Chile: ¿Otra vez la “propietarización”?
Authors: Larroucau Torres Jorge
Published: July 2021

La protección de los derechos fundamentales que se creó en Chile a mediados de los años setenta tuvo un claro sesgo hacia la tutela judicial de la propiedad. Este rasgo cobró relieve con la estrategia argumentativa de la “propietarización” a partir de los años noventa, para ampliar esta tutela de urgencia hacia otros derechos. El retiro de los fondos previsionales de los trabajadores que se comenzó a discutir ante las Cortes a partir del año 2019 no solo reveló, una vez más, esta inclinación por la propiedad, sino que, además, mostró la conexión interna entre esta tutela judicial de los derechos fundamentales y el fomento del debate público.
SUBTIPOS DE LECTORES RETRASADOS EN ESPAÑOL
Authors: Cuadro Ariel , Marín Javier
Published: July 2021

Con el objetivo de identificar y caracterizar a subtipos de lectores retrasados en español (fonológicos y superficiales), se comparan 42 lectores retrasados de 4º,5º y 6º de primaria, con 90 lectores normales de igual grado escolar y con 78 lectores normales de menor grado escolar y nivel lector equivalente. Se analizó el rendimiento de los grupos en tareas que implican procesamiento fonológico o procesamiento ortográfico. Los resultados de someter los datos a un análisis de regresión, muestran variaciones en la distribución de los subtipos de lectores retrasados. Se aplica la idea de que la dislexia de tipo fonológico y superficial, se diferenciaría en el grado de severidad del desorden fonológico y en los recursos cognitivos disponibles para compensar el déficit. (Snowling, 2000). La transparencia de la lengua, así como la experiencia lectora, favorece el aprendizaje de las reglas de correspondencia grafema-fonema, mejorando la exactitud en la lectura de pseudopalabras.

SÍNDROME DE GERSTMANN DEL DESARROLLO Y TRASTORNOS EN LA ADQUISICIÓN DE LAS MATEMÁTICAS
Authors: Dansilio Sergio
Published: July 2021

La tétrada caracterizada por una dificultad en el conocimiento práxico de los dedos, indistinción derecha/izquierda, discalculia y trastornos de la escritura (síndrome de Gerstmann) ha sido descrita en el desarrollo, probablemente vinculada a una perturbación madurativa del gyrus angular de manera bilateral o hemisférica derecha. En este trabajo se presentan tres casos con los tres elementos obligados de la tétrada y en un solo caso una perturbación vinculada a los niveles grafémico y ortográfico de la escritura. Dentro de la heterogeneidad de los casos, la perturbación en el dominio de las matemáticas se configura como una anaritmetia, caracterizada en base a un trastorno nuclear en la representación semántica del número. Se realizan las consideraciones teóricas acerca de la relación entre el conocimiento somestésico digital y la capacidad de representarse un espacio regularmente asimétrico, con la adquisición de las facultades matemáticas.

COMPROMISO DEPORTIVO, JUICIO DE CONTROL Y BURNOUT EN DOS EQUIPOS DEPORTIVOS FEMENINOS
Authors: Tutte Vallarino Verónica , Suero Girardi Margarita
Published: July 2021

El aumento en los casos de bajas deportivas debidas al burnout, así como la disminución del rendimiento, el agotamiento emocional y el abandono en deportistas, han sido algunas de las razones que motivaron nuestro estudio.  Nuestro objetivo es determinar si existen diferencias entre 2 equipos deportivos femeninos a lo largo de una temporada, en función de dos variables (Compromiso Deportivo y Juicio de Control), que podrían predecir la aparición anticipada del burnout. En este sentido, estudiaremos si se producen diferencias entre dichas variables, y si las mismas pueden ser utilizadas como medidas profilácticas para prevenir la posibilidad de desarrollar el síndrome de burnout. Las muestras estudiadas se componen por 2 equipos de mujeres deportistas de Alto Rendimiento, correspondientes a 10 deportistas de un equipo de básquet profesional de la Liga Femenina de Básquet Española y a 13 deportistas del Seleccionado Nacional de Hockey sobre Césped de Uruguay, ambas entre 18 a 33 años. Todas las participantes fueron evaluadas utilizando el Inventario de Burnout para Deportistas (IBD), las Escalas análogo visuales de Juicio de Control (VAS) y el Cuestionario de Compromiso Deportivo (SCQ). No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la mayoría de las dimensiones evaluadas entre ambos grupos y en ambas administraciones.

En este artículo presentamos los resultados preliminares de la primera etapa del proceso de adaptación y traducción del FACES IV (Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales), que mide funcionalidad familiar. El Modelo Circunflejo (Olson, 1999) constituye el sustento teórico de este instrumento, utilizado en sus cuatro versiones, en investigaciones de nivel internacional. Nuestro equipo, contando desde el inicio con el aval de los autores, se propuso como primer objetivo la traducción y el estudio preliminar de la unidimensionalidad de las escalas del instrumento. El mismo fue aplicado a 584 sujetos de Montevideo (Uruguay), en cuatro muestras pilotos consecutivos. En este artículo se presentarán la primera y última administración (275 sujetos). Los resultados del estudio de dimensionalidad en cada escala, evidencian que solamente la escala caótica no es unidimensional. La fiabilidad provisoria para las escalas que conforman el FACES IV son: Cohesión balanceada =.71; Flexibilidad balanceada =.64; Desligada =.77; Enmarañada =.63; Rígida =.68; Caótica =.65; Comunicación =.88 y Satisfacción =.94.

¿ES NECESARIO PROFESIONALIZAR LA FIGURA DEL TUTOR DE ESPECIALISTAS EN FORMACIÓN SANITARIA?
Authors: Martínez Juárez Miriam , Martínez Clares Pilar , Romero Sánchez Eduardo B. , Muñoz Cantero Jesús Miguel
Published: July 2021

El sistema de formación de especialistas sanitarios en nuestro país es suficientemente maduro, pero se ha de enfrentar a nuevos retos, como es el caso de la profesionalización del tutor de especialistas en formación. La actual normativa que regula la formación especializada atribuye importancia a esta figura pero apenas la perfila. La gran transformación estructural, replantea la necesidad de concebir nuevos profesionales a los que se les pueda atribuir competencias no requeridas hasta el momento. Para ayudar a la adaptación de todos estos cambios, es preciso nuevos sistemas de  enseñanza-aprendizaje basados en competencias que faciliten un aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida, para contribuir al nacimiento del profesional requerido y demandado en el siglo XXI. Somos conscientes que ni las organizaciones sanitarias ni el perfil del profesional de la salud han quedado al margen de las nuevas exigencias del entorno, por lo que nos preguntamos si el tutor de especialistas en formación está preparado para asumir estas responsabilidades, siendo necesario y prioritario su profesionalización.

A extração dentária é um dos procedimentos mais frequentes em cirurgia oral e maxilofacial e está relacionada a mudanças fisiológicas no processo alveolar. Neste sentido, entre as principais complicações transoperatórias está a hemorragia, que ocorre geralmente devido a lesões de vasos sanguíneos presentes no alvéolo dentário onde se realizou a exodontia. Uma alternativa para se obter a hemostasia é a utilização da Fibrina Rica em Plaquetas (PRF), um concentrado leucoplaquetário, obtido através do sangue do paciente. A membrana obtida é rica em leucócitos, plaquetas e fatores de crescimento que promovem a modulação de células envolvidas no processo de cicatrização, favorecendo um melhor e mais rápido reparo das lesões cirúrgicas. Esta matriz de fibrina apresenta diversas utilidades para a odontologia, demonstrando bons resultados, além do baixo custo e fácil obtenção. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever a técnica de obtenção da PRF usada como agente hemostático após exodontia, orientando assim, sua reprodutibilidade e utilização.

Os problemas decorrentes de perdas dentárias em áreas estéticas têm sido motivo de intensa dedicação científica e empenho clínico a fim de alcançar estabilidade mecânica e estética favoráveis. O advento dos implantes dentários-osseointegráveis supriu quesitos de suporte mecânico; no entanto, a remodelação óssea cervical ao redor de implantes com plataforma convencional pode comprometer significativamente a manutenção dos tecidos peri-implantares, gerando sérios agravos estéticos. Atualmente, o objetivo da instalação de implantes Cone Morse vai além de atender a uma tendência evolutiva em Implantodontia, proporcionando a manutenção das características teciduais peri-implantares e o favorecimento da confecção de próteses estéticas, direcionando todo o processo terapêutico a possibilitar perfil de emergência ideal e relacionamento natural e harmonioso com os tecidos circunjacentes. Logo, essa revisão bibliográfica tem o intuito de apresentar tais características, que conferem um alto índice de sucesso e de longevidade das peças protéticas, garantindo maior previsibilidade de manutenção das condições em reabilitações protéticas.

Treatments of Eye Diseases in Malay Medical Manuscript Ramuan Obat EAP153/9/4
Authors: Mohd Shafri Mohd Affendi
Published: July 2021

The Malay medical manuscript Ramuan Obat EAP153/9/4 is a Malay medical manuscript from Riau Archipelago in today’s Indonesia. It appears to focus on eye diseases and treatments. This study aims to evaluate if the traditional medicines and interventions in the manuscript can be supported scientifically. Critical transliteration and data extraction were performed by applying philological method in identifying and categorising the diseases and interventions. The materia medica was analysed by comparing scientific reports presented in PubMed and Google Scholar, and matching each ingredient to the intended purpose as indicated in the manuscript. The manuscript contains both physical and spiritual interventions amounting to 28 formulations for 7 different types of eye disease. Half of the materia medica and their use in Ramuan Obat EAP153/9/4 could be supported by contemporary scientific evidence. The lack of contemporary scientific evidence for other materia medica, on the other hand, could be attributed to the lack of scientific research on them rather and not necessarily a deficiency in effectiveness. More scientific studies would need to be carried out to validate the safety and efficacy of formulations contained in Malay medical manuscripts as the content could potentially lead to new drug discovery. Apart from scientific gains, the study could also contribute to the preservation of Malay medical culture and heritage.

Published: July 2021

Why did The Straits Times make an effort to give wide coverage about the Natrah tragedy in 1950? Why did this newspaper deploy a strategy to publish letters from readers about Natrah within the specific period of time? What benefit is gained by this newspaper publishing comments and opinions from readers about Natrah?

Authors: Ab Razak Mohd Solleh , Samsudin Roshimah
Published: July 2021

The method used by hadith scholars in the issue of contradiction between hadith which is termed as Mukhtalif al-Ḥadīth usually involves three manhaj, namely al-Jam‘, al-Naskh and al-Tarjīḥ. In principle, the scholars of hadith arrange the order by putting al-Jam‘ as the first, then al-Naskh and followed by al-Tarjīḥ. However, a contemporary hadith researcher, Sharaf al-Qudāh, was found to have presented a different order as compared with presented by hadith scholars. Therefore, this article aims to examine the views of Sharaf al-Quḍāh regarding the sequence of manhaj solution of Mukhtalif al-Ḥadīth based on the manhaj of hadith scholars. To implement this purpose, the writer is used library research based on qualitative research through contents analysis in order to record and analysis data. The finding of this research shows that the sequence of al-Hadith methodology which is proposed by Sharaf al-Quḍāh is acceptable among muḥaddithīn even though it is not clearly stated in Muṣṭalaḥ al-Ḥadīth writings. Accordingly, this writing is the way to enhance the understanding in accordance with the sequence of aplication methodology amongs the muhaddithīn in order to eliminate the contradiction between al hadith.

Exploring the Theological and Practical Implications of Contextualization Among Muslims
Authors: Bature Darma Dikko
Published: July 2021

The greatest missionary challenge throughout the church history is ministering to the Muslims. Previously, different approaches have been employed by the church with different settings; however, they yield little or no results at all. The need to address the challenge of Islam is ardent among Christian missionaries: therefore, in their struggle to propagate Christianity among Muslims as well as to maintain its diminishing number of followers, missionaries have been in search of new methods for Muslim outreach. Their newest discovery is the contextual approach that has been much debated in so many theological books and journals that explain its theological and practical implications. However, the methods of contextualization are said to have been successfully employed for missionary activities in some parts of the Muslim world and it has imparted to the Christian mission further significance and validity. To this end, at some level contextualization was rather accepted in regards to outreach to Muslims. This paper attempts to discuss the theological and practical implications of this new method of ‘contextualization’ in its various approaches and to see the element, if any, that distinguishes it from the former missiological methodologies of ‘Inculturation,’ ‘Identification,’ ‘Indigenization’ or ‘Vernacularization’ etc.

Lancisi’s Sign: Giant C-V waves with Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation in Isolated Tricuspid Valve Prolapse
Authors: Sert Sena , Yildirimtürk Özlem
Published: July 2021

IIntroduction Isolated tricuspid valve prolapse (TVP) is a rare finding
on transthoracic echocardiography. Right atrial enlargement or prominent
” v ” waves as a consequence of hemodynamic changes in severe
tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are rarely seen with isolated TVP. Here is
a case of isolated prolapse of anterior tricuspid leaflet presenting
with giant C-V waves also known as Lancisi’s sign. Case Report A
66-year-old male presented with increasing exercise limitation and leg
edema in recent months and was complaining about the persistent
pulsation at his neck and elevated jugular venous pulse with prominent
systolic pulsation that represents giant C-V waves, also known as
‘Lancisi’s sign’ consequence of severe TR due to isolated prolapse of
the anterior leaflet.The patients’ symptoms resolved completely after
tricuspid valve replacement. Discussion TVP is best defined at
parasternal short axis view with more than 2 mm atrial displacement (AD)
of leaflet/leaflets. TVP can also be detected from four chamber view
with more than 2 mm AD or in right ventricular inflow view with more
than 4 mm AD. As a consequence of TVP, the physiological jugular venous
waveform alters due to severe TR.During severe TR; retrograde blood flow
through right atrium during ventricular systole restrains x descent and
produces a fusion of c and v waves that appears as a large pulsation in
physical examination called as ‘Lancisi’s sign’ Conclusion ‘Lancisi’s
sign’ is defined as a large visible systolic neck pulsation as a
consequence of the c-v waves fusion by preventing x descent during
severe TR.
