Information sharing following discharge of psychiatric inpatients: Improving the quality of discharge summaries
Authors: Kar Nilamadhab
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND:

Discharge summaries are valuable clinical documents providing information not only about the acute presentation and progression but also suggestions for future management to maintain the continuity of care. This is important in multidisciplinary, multiagency mental healthcare.

AIM:

It was intended to evaluate the discharge summaries for adult psychiatric inpatients, about the information shared such as the reason for admission, diagnoses, medications, progress in the ward, and legal status with an overarching aim to inform about the quality improvement of discharge summaries.

METHODS:

It was a service evaluation of a stratified random sample of 86 discharges from younger adult psychiatry wards, from which 73 discharge summaries were evaluated.

RESULTS:

The sample had 44 male and 42 female patients, with an average inpatient stay of 27.3 ± 40.8 days. Most (81.4%) of the patients had informal admission. Most patients (96.5%) had a psychiatric diagnosis; the common diagnoses were schizophrenia (24.4%), bipolar disorder (15.1%), personality disorder (17.4%), and depression (11.6%). Discharge summaries were sent on an average of 21.3 + 17.7 days (median 15 days). Most discharge summaries mentioned psychiatric diagnoses (97.3%), list of medications and dosage (95.9%), legal status during admission (74.0%), reason for admission (97.3%), and progress in the ward (97.3%).

CONCLUSIONS:

There is a scope to improve discharge summaries by adopting an appropriately structured format containing essential clinical information, which can be useful for maintaining continuity of patient care.

Published: August 2024

A bibliometric analysis would reveal the overall research trend, contributing journals, and supporting fund agencies on behavioral addiction. However, no previous attempt was noted on the behavioral addiction field. We aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis on behavioral addiction. We searched in the PubMed database on behavioral addiction. All the articles from the date of inception till February 22nd, 2024, were included in the analysis, using the keywords. The Harvard Catalyst software was used by the investigator for the analysis. We analyzed 3429 relevant publications with the earliest year being 1994 to the latest article in the year 2024. The maximum number of publications on behavioral addiction was seen in the year 2022 (n = 427), followed by 2023 (n = 418). The majority of articles were from the journal of behavioral addiction (n = 223). The journal with the highest average number of citations per article was cyberpsychology and behavior. The top field under which the articles are published is psychiatry (n = 848), followed by behavioral sciences (n = 569) and psychology (n = 350). This bibliometric analysis reveals the trend of scientific output in behavioral addiction, leading academic sphere, and leading journals. Further studies assessing the collaboration network among institutions, countries, and authors would foster understanding in the field.

Purpose This study aimed to report the overall national trends in the rates of cancer screening based on recommendations and provide insights into the changing trends of these rates across different demographics.Materials and Methods This study used data from the Korean National Cancer Screening Survey (KNCSS), which surveys nationwide cancer-screening rates and includes 4,500 individuals meeting the Korean National Cancer Screening Program (NCSP) protocol age criteria. Cancer-screening rates were assessed using structured questionnaires; yearly trends were analyzed for both lifetime cancer-screening rates and rates of screening based on recommendations, and subgroup analyses were performed based on age and sex.Results The rates of cancer screening based on recommendations showed significant increments: the stomach cancer-screening rate increased from 39.2% in 2004 to 77.5% in 2023 (3.50% per year), the liver cancer-screening rate increased from 20.0% to 48.8% (4.30% per year), and the colorectal cancer, increased from 19.9% to 70.7% (5.15% per year). The breast cancer-screening rate increased from 33.2% to 72.7% (2.88% per year), and the cervical cancer, increased from 58.3% to 70.2% (1.08% per year). Despite some differences, particularly in relation to sociodemographic factors, screening rates increased significantly for all cancer types.Conclusion Cancer-screening rates in Korea increased consistently from 2004 to 2023, demonstrating the effectiveness of the national cancer-screening program. However, the increments in breast, cervical and lung cancer-screening rates were relatively lower, indicating the need for additional efforts and strategies.

Published: August 2024

Purpose Selecting the better techniques to harbor optimal motion management, either a stereotactic linear accelerator delivery using TrueBeam (TBX) or magnetic resonance–guided gated delivery using MRIdian (MRG), is time-consuming and costly. To address this challenge, we aimed to develop a decision-supporting algorithm based on a combination of deep learning-generated dose distributions and clinical data.Materials and Methods We retrospectively analyzed 65 patients with liver or pancreatic cancer who underwent both TBX and MRG simulations and planning process. We trained three-dimensional U-Net deep learning models to predict dose distributions and generated dose volume histograms (DVHs) for each system. We integrated predicted DVH metrics into a Bayesian network (BN) model incorporating clinical data.Results The MRG prediction model outperformed the TBX model, demonstrating statistically significant superiorities in predicting normalized dose to the planning target volume (PTV) and liver. We developed a final BN prediction model integrating the predictive DVH metrics with patient factors like age, PTV size, and tumor location. This BN model an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve index of 83.56%. The decision tree derived from the BN model showed that the tumor location (abutting vs. apart of PTV to hollow viscus organs) was the most important factor to determine TBX or MRG. It provided a potential framework for selecting the optimal radiation therapy (RT) system based on individual patient characteristics.Conclusion We demonstrated a decision-supporting algorithm for selecting optimal RT plans in upper gastrointestinal cancers, incorporating both deep learning-based dose prediction and BN-based treatment selection. This approach might streamline the decision-making process, saving resources and improving treatment outcomes for patients undergoing RT.

The improvement phase proposed solutions such as implementing a Pick-to-Light (PTL) system, WMS enhancements, standardized receipt picking, and incentive schemes. These improvements aim to reduce errors, optimize workflows, and increase employee productivity. The control phase includes comprehensive training plans, documentation, and monitoring tools to ensure sustainability and continuous improvement. Implementing these solutions is expected to increase order processing efficiency by 40-50%, build a more competitive and motivated workforce, and address issues between regular and freelance employees through targeted training and incentive schemes.
Enhancing biosafety management and governance: a comprehensive assessment of high-containment biological laboratories in Brazil
Authors:   , Mendonça André de Oliveira
Published: August 2024

High-containment biological laboratories are crucial in preventing and addressing high-risk infectious diseases, encompassing human and animal health. This comprehensive study presents an in-depth analysis of such laboratories in Brazil, covering their quantity, distribution, infrastructure, scope, regulatory compliance, and associated challenges. From a preliminary list of 92 presumed high-containment biological laboratories in Brazil, a total of 66 laboratories from 54 institutions currently operating under characteristics of a biosafety level 3 facility were identified, with 32 participating in the current research by responding to a comprehensive questionnaire. Key findings indicate a lack of official data, emphasizing the need for a National Biosafety and Biosecurity Policy and a strategic plan to assess and optimize the functionality and distribution of these facilities across the country. The study revealed that many high-containment biological laboratories may not comply with essential biosafety and biosecurity standards due to the absence of a national regulatory framework specifically addressing these issues. Furthermore, the sustainability of these laboratories is often jeopardized by financial constraints, particularly those associated with operational costs not covered by research grants. The establishment of a centralized system for laboratory oversight, akin to models in the US and Canada, emerges as a crucial recommendation. Such a framework would ensure standardized practices, facilitate sharing resources and information, and enhance Brazil’s overall biosafety and biosecurity culture. In conclusion, the study advocates for urgent reforms in Brazil’s approach to managing high- containment biological laboratories, including the development of a robust regulatory framework, enhanced government oversight, and the promotion of a strong culture of safety and security within the scientific community. These measures are deemed essential for safeguarding public and animal health and ensuring the country is equipped to address current and future biosecurity challenges.

Published: August 2024

A monilíase do cacaueiro, causada pelo fungo Moniliophthora roreri, representa uma grande ameaça para as áreas produtoras de cacau e cupuaçu. Essa doença é responsável por graves prejuízos onde quer que ocorra, especialmente nas regiões produtoras da América Central e América Latina. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a distribuição geográfica mundial da praga Moniliophthora roreri e de seus principais hospedeiros, cacau (Theobroma cacao) e cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum), verificar quais climas ocorrem nestas localidades atualmente e se haverá alguma alteração climática destas regiões no futuro, utilizando um mapa histórico observado do período de 1991-2020 e um mapa com projeções futuras de classificação climática Koppen-Geiger, para o período de 2071-2099, no pior cenário de altas taxas de emissões de CO2. Buscando identificar quais áreas possuem características climáticas semelhantes, que podem ser atingidas por este patógeno. Os dados de ocorrências das espécies foram pesquisados na literatura e em bancos de dados. Realizou-se a contagem dos pontos por classe climática e se concluiu que a grande maioria dos registros se localizavam na zona climática tropical, nas subclasses: tropical úmido (Af), tropical monção (Am) e tropical com estação seca no inverno (Aw). Atualmente a monilíase do cacaueiro está restrita ao continente americano, mas devido as condições climáticas favoráveis encontradas nos países africanos e asiáticos, a praga tem potencial para ser disseminada para estas regiões. Fatores como a adequabilidade climática e a crescente circulação de pessoas e mercadorias entre os países podem elevar o risco de introdução deste organismo em novas áreas, sendo necessária a adoção de medidas preventivas. Estudos como este podem contribuir com informações para a implantação de programas para evitar a dispersão deste patógeno para novos locais. Palavras-chave: Moniliophthora roreri.

Published: August 2024

Floor cleaning is a long-standing ritual. In the past, people wanted to every day, wipe off the floor with water and a rag. Because of advancements in technology and lifestyle, people began to clean surfaces with Cloth/Thick threads connected to a stick, dipped in water. Additional time is required to Finish the floor cleaning work. People who do this work by hand take longer and are unable to accomplish it successfully since their energy levels fluctuate and they must also care for their babies and other household tasks. When a machine accomplishes the same task, it takes less time and works more effectively while using the same amount of energy. When we just have a limited amount of time, it is difficult to thoroughly clean a large area. The suggested robot is built on IoT technologies such as Arduino Uno, Bluetooth HC-05, and DC motors. and infrared sensors. In this robot, we use a smartphone app to control the cleaning process with voice commands supplied via Bluetooth module to Arduino in Manual mode. In Automatic mode, the cleaning procedure is managed by Arduino and the IR sensor, thus no human participation is required.

This article addresses beings, knowledge, and doings, understanding them as natural, cultural and supernatural or spiritual spaces. In this sense, we bring the narratives of working women – Louceiras do Maruanum, who produce ceramics. We contemplate the narratives about the removal of clay, as we perceive a mystical entity brought up in the speeches of these women about the “mother of clay”, a female deity and protector of both the clay and the place in the forest. As aim of our investigation, we adopted the narratives of the women from the Quilombola Santa Luzia do Maruanum Community as possibilities of presenting the symbiosis between beings, knowledge, and doings as an addition to culture and as an opportunity for a dialogue between different areas of knowledge. We employ critical ethnography as a methodological approach, emphasizing the relationship between socio-environmental spaces and culture, which generates places of representativity and socio-affective belonging. We follow interdisciplinary paths and focus on authors such as Latour, Descola, Viveiros de Castro, Mesquita, and Seemann, among others. The discussion is permeated by the idea of humanscapes, cultural mapping and ecological societies as significant landscapes between beings, knowledge, and doings as approaches to ethnomathematics and as natural, cultural, and spiritual spaces.

Forças neoliberais e a constituição do sujeito professor de matemática que busca fazer sempre algo diferente
Authors: Lauxen Neto Guilherme Franklin , Duarte Claudia Glavam
Published: August 2024

Este artigo problematiza os discursos de docentes de Matemática acerca da constante necessidade de fazer algo diferente no exercício da docência. Nele procuramos às indagações: “Quais discursos contemporâneos sustentam o movimento docente que busca sempre fazer algo diferente no exercício da docência? Que relações guardam com o neoliberalismo?” Para isso foram realizadas entrevistas com professores de Matemática em escolas de Novo Hamburgo, região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, Brasil. A análise dos resultados acorreu numa perspectiva foucaultiana de análise de discurso. Observamos que as enunciações apresentam reverberações de uma lógica neoliberal e que o conceito de “fazer diferente” muitas vezes é associado com inovação e que procuram romper com abordagens de ensino já consolidadas. Compreendemos esse rompimento com as práticas educacionais como um dos resultados da subjetivação das docentes por uma lógica neoliberal e uma lógica de fluidez que tem a instantaneidade e o curto prazo como características necessárias para atender as demandas atuais do mercado. Foi possível notar que a ideia do movimento de “fazer diferente” manifestada nas falas das docentes é impulsionada pela busca de motivação dos estudantes e, como consequência desse processo, tem-se a motivação do docente. Observamos ainda nas enunciações que as docentes vivem um regime de autocoerção e autoculpabilização, pois se culpam quando não podem fazer diferentes e vivem um regime de autoexploração, pois demonstraram se submeter voluntariamente a um regime de trabalho no qual exigem de si um grande esforço na busca de maximização de seu desempenho.
The Formation of the Biblical Canon
Authors: McDonald Lee Martin
Published: August 2024

Lee Martin McDonald provides a magisterial overview of the development of the biblical canon — the emergence of the list of individual texts that constitutes the Christian bible. In these two volumes – in sum more than double the length of his previous works – McDonald presents his most in-depth overview to date. McDonald shows students and researchers how the list of texts that constitute ‘the bible’ was once far more fluid than it is today and guides readers through the minefield of different texts, different versions, and the different lists of texts considered ‘canonical’ that abounded in antiquity. Questions of the origin and transmission of texts are introduced as well as consideration of innovations in the presentation of texts, collections of documents, archaeological finds and Church councils.

In the first volume McDonald re-examines issues of canon formation once considered settled, and sets the range of texts that make up the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) in their broader context. Each individual text is discussed, as are the cultural, political and historical situations surrounding them.

This second volume considers the New Testament, and the range of so-called ‘apocryphal’ gospels that were written in early centuries, and used by many Christian groups before the canon was closed.

Also included are comprehensive appendices which show various canon lists for both Old and New Testaments and for the bible as a whole.
Iranian Refugees in Transit
Authors: Jefroudi Maral
Published: August 2024

Maral Jefroudi presents a comprehensive picture of one of the largest migration waves in contemporary history by analyzing refugees’ interactions with the Turkish State, the UNHCR, and within the community of Iranians in transit after the 1979 revolution.

Iranian Refugees in Transit unveils the rich history of political engagement among Iranian refugees before their arrival in Turkey, contextualised within Turkey’s own landscape of political and ethnic conflicts. Jefroudi expertly examines the intersectional distribution of precarity among refugees. By bringing together interviews with refugees from the period, analyzing cultural products by and on them, and tracing their footsteps in newspapers and scholarly literature, this book fills a significant gap in Turkey’s migration history. Through a critical historical analysis of the international asylum system, Iranian Refugees in Transit offers valuable insights into the dynamics of the current ‘refugee crisis’.

Decolonial Underground Pedagogy
Authors: Romero Noah
Published: August 2024

This book explores how minority-led skateboarding, punk rock, and unschooling communities engage in collective efforts to humanize education and construct kinder social frameworks.Noah Romero examines the roles of informal and community-embedded learning in actualizing transformative education and shows how decolonizing education can take place outside of school settings.

Grounded in the author’s own experience in minority-led Filipino subcultures, the book introduces a conceptual framework of subcultural learning and decolonizing education centred on the Philippines and its diaspora in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Romero argues that educational paradigms with peace, human rights, multiculturalism, social justice, and decolonization at the centre can extend beyond the classroom, curriculum, and teaching and into communities. By showing how minoritized people are redefining identity and knowledge through embodied community-responsive pedagogies, the book contributes to wider debates on Indigeneity, gender justice, human rights, peace studies, and decolonizing education.
Digital Intimacies
Authors: Hakim Jamie , Cummings James , Young Ingrid
Published: August 2024

Queer men’s cultures of intimacy have long been sites of fierce contestation.Indeed, debates have raged for decades over issues such as monogamy, safer sex, sexual racism and gay marriage. The introduction of the smartphone in 2008 only intensified these debates whilst also raising a further set of questions which are explored in this open access book.

Through interviews with a diverse group of 43 queer men about their smartphone mediated intimacies,Digital Intimaciesreveals that queer men use their smartphones, not simply to arrange intimate encounters, but more specifically to gain a sense of control over the parts of their intimate lives that make them feel most vulnerable. For instance, some use messaging apps to gain a sense of control over intimate conversations that they feel too vulnerable to have in person. Others use the ‘block’ function on dating apps to feel in control of the racism and transphobia they are vulnerable to on these apps.

Digital Intimaciestherefore illuminates not only hitherto underexplored aspects of queer men’s cultures of intimacy but crucially also brings into view previously obscured cultural dynamics, gaining insight into the historical moments in which they occur.
