Background: Cognitive training (CT) may be beneficial in delaying the onset or slowing dementia progression. CT has been evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively, but none have used mixed methods approaches. Objective: The aim of this study was to use a mixed methods approach to identify those who may selectively benefit from CT. Methods: This was an explanatory sequential mixed methods study involving a quantitative randomized trial of 12 weeks multi-domain CT in healthy older adults (HC, n = 20), and people living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI; n = 12) and dementia (n = 24). Quantitative outcomes included: cognition, mood, quality of life, and activities of daily living. 28 (10 HC, 6 MCI, 12 dementia) training participants completed semi-structured interviews with their carer. Quantitative and qualitative data were integrated using joint displays. Results: Three participants dropped out from the training early-on, leaving 25 participants with follow-up data for full integration (10 HC, 6 MCI, 9 dementia). Dropouts and lower adherence to training were more common in dementia participants with greater non-modifiable barriers. High adherers were more resilient to negative emotions, and poorer or fluctuating performance. Integrated analysis found the majority of participants (n = 24) benefited across outcomes, with no clear profile of individuals who benefited more than others. Participants made a number of key recommendations to improve adherence and minimize dropout to CT. Conclusion: Reasons for dropout and low adherence were identified, with recommendations provided for the design of CT for dementia. An individual approach to training should be adopted and low adherence should not preclude engagement with CT.

Published: April 2022

REBCO coated conductors (REBCO CCs), the second-generation high-temperature superconducting (2G HTS) tapes, are subjected to electromagnetic stress in an electromagnetic environment, and tremendous stress can damage tapes such that lose their superconductivity. This paper uses the numerical method to simulate the electromagnetic response and related mechanical properties of the quasi-isotropic strand (Q-IS) under the applied magnetic field and carrying current and their combination. The simulation is based on the Kim model in which the critical current density is related to the magnetic field. First, the stress distribution of the superconducting core inside the Q-IS under the applied magnetic field and if transport current is given. According to the different magnetic field amplitudes and current amplitudes, the influence of the copper sheath and the filling layer thickness on the maximum stress of the Q-IS is studied. Also calculated the current distribution, magnetic field penetration, and stress distribution of the Q-IS under the conditions of transporting direct current (DC) and applying a 2 Hz sinusoidal alternating current (AC) magnetic field. The performance of the Q-IS is entirely different in the rising and falling durations of the magnetic field. Stress concentration occurs at the four corners of the superconducting core. The left and right sides of the superconducting core with relatively large stress and deformation are easily damaged.

Published: April 2022

The electric vehicle market has surged the consideration of charging station requirements in the commercial and residential areas of the urban regions. The addition of charging stations at the existing power network introduces a greater challenge on voltage stability and losses. The effect of the charging station can be addressed through the optimal integration of Distributed Generation (DG) units into the network. The improper placement of DG units can jeopardize the network stability. These issues are addressed by optimal placement of DG units and charging stations in the network to improve voltage, reduce transmission loss and maximize the charging station capacity. Here the objectives are considered as a multi-objective problem and solved using an enhanced Ant-lion optimization algorithm. The proposed method is implemented and tested over IEEE – 33, 69 and 94 radial bus system in MATLAB R2020a version. In IEEE – 33 bus system, the total loss reduction of 67.63% and the minimum voltage of 0.981 is attained with 2909.2 kW of DG and 1770.7 kW of charging station. The voltage stability index is improved to 0.92. The efficacy of the proposed method is evaluated through comparison with existing methods such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) with VRP method, Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). It is evident that the proposed method gives improved performance than other methods.

Background: Freezing of gait (FOG) is among the most common and disabling symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Studies show that deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) can reduce FOG severity. However, there is uncertainty about pathways that need to be modulated to improve FOG. Objective: To investigate whether STN-DBS effectively reduces FOG postoperatively and whether structural connectivity of the stimulated tissue explains variance of outcomes. Methods: We investigated 47 patients with PD and preoperative FOG. Freezing prevalence and severity was primarily assessed using the Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOG-Q). In a subset of 18 patients, provoked FOG during a standardized walking course was assessed. Using a publicly available model of basal-ganglia pathways we determined stimulation-dependent connectivity associated with postoperative changes in FOG. A region-of-interest analysis to a priori defined mesencephalic regions was performed using a disease-specific normative connectome. Results: Freezing of gait significantly improved six months postoperatively, marked by reduced frequency and duration of freezing episodes. Optimal stimulation volumes for improving FOG structurally connected to motor areas, the prefrontal cortex and to the globus pallidus. Stimulation of the lenticular fasciculus was associated with worsening of FOG. This connectivity profile was robust in a leave-one-out cross-validation. Subcortically, stimulation of fibers crossing the pedunculopontine nucleus and the substantia nigra correlated with postoperative improvement. Conclusion: STN-DBS can alleviate FOG severity by modulating specific pathways structurally connected to prefrontal and motor cortices. More differentiated FOG assessments may allow to differentiate pathways for specific FOG subtypes in the future.

Authors: Bohatko-Naismith Joanna , McCormack Lynne , Weerasekara Ishanka , James Daphne , Marley Jeffrey
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Mental distress is often endured by injured workers participating in the rehabilitation or return to work process following a physical injury. Delays in detecting the onset and treating mental distress can lead to a diverse range of cognitive and behavioural changes that may precipitate psychological distress such as anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this scoping review was to provide an overview of existing health questionnaires utilised by health care providers and affiliated researchers. It reviewed their effectiveness and suitability to detect mental distress endured by injured workers engaged in the return to work process. METHODS: A scoping review methodology was conducted using the Arksey and O’Malley framework which examined peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and March 2020 comprising health questionnaires. Database searches included Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE and PsycINFO combining specific MeSH terms and key words. RESULTS: The full search identified 3168 articles. Following full screening a total of 164 articles reviewed the use of health questionnaires and specific criteria to determine their suitability. Most of the health questionnaires reviewed were used as screening measures for identifying both work and non-work-related psychological hazards. However, they were found to be limited in their application when considering all potential predictors of delayed return to work such as poor or stressful interactions with stakeholders, financial stress and the injured workers experience of the RTW process. CONCLUSION: Earlier identification of mental distress using an optimal MHSQ followed by appropriate intervention will reduce the risk of psychological injury becoming cumulative on a physical workplace injury. Without such complications, early return to work can be achieved with significant cost saving to the economy.

Authors: Addanki Sheila , Macedo Luciana , MacDermid Joy , Moll Sandra
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Peer-led workplace mental health training programs informed by the principles of contact-based education have shown promising results, but research evidence largely focuses on measuring outcomes for service recipients with little attention to the experiences of peer educators in delivering these interventions. OBJECTIVE: To gain in-depth knowledge about the opportunities and challenges experienced peer educators recruited to lead a mental health literacy training program for healthcare workers. METHODS: An interpretive description approach was used to explore the experiences of peer educators in providing a structured two-day “Beyond Silence” workplace mental health training program. Peer educators were healthcare workers with personal mental health experience, who completed an additional leadership training. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with seven peer educators. Data collection and analysis was concurrent and iterative, employing inductive analysis. RESULTS: Four overarching themes captured the key opportunities and challenges faced by peer educators: 1) the art and science of providing mental health literacy training, 2) power of personal stories, 3) competence as a journey or a destination and 4) the dual role of educator and advocate. CONCLUSIONS: Recommendations are provided for recruitment, training, and support for peer educators. Future research could focus on longitudinal evaluation of engagement and sustainability of peer educators in this role.
The assessment of heavy work investment: Psychometric properties of the WI-10 on a sample of Israeli workers
Authors: Loscalzo Yura , Shamai Orit , Eshet Yovav
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Heavy Work Investment (HWI) is a construct that covers both positive and negative behaviors characterized by a high investment of time and energy in working (work engagement and workaholism, respectively). In the literature, it has been introduced, recently, the Work-related Inventory (WI-10) that allows evaluating four types of worker, three of which are HWIs: disengaged workaholics, engaged workaholics, engaged workers, and detached workers. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to validate the Hebrew WI-10 on Israeli workers. METHODS: We recruited a convenient sample of 459 workers (about half females and half males) with a mean age of 37.12±10.33. We performed Confirmatory Factor Analysis, convergent and divergent validity analyses. Finally, we calculated the cut-off scores corresponding to high and low workaholism and work engagement. RESULTS: We found support for the 10-item (2 filler) and 2-factor structure (Workaholism and Work Engagement) of the WI-10, as well as for its good psychometric properties. CONCLUSIONS: The WI-10 may be used in future research aimed at disentangling the question about the positive and adverse effects that might be associated with different types of HWI.

BACKGROUND: Dental practitioners can be prone to stress because of the long working hours, high patient expectations, and work environment. OBJECTIVE: To investigate dimensions of occupational stress among dental practitioners leading to burnout and to model its causality with job satisfaction. METHODS: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted for five months. A sample of 302 practicing dental practitioners was selected using the consecutive sample technique. This sample included dental practitioners working in clinical and non-clinical departments of public and private sector universities as well as those doing private general practice. A self-administered structured questionnaire based on the Work Stress Questionnaire was sent using Survey Monkey. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Spearman correlation was applied between stress scores and job satisfaction. A Chi-square test was applied to look into the association between stress levels and different categories. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed. RESULT: The prevalence of overall occupational stress was high among dental practitioners (83.4%). Occupational stress was greatest in females (55.8%), dental practitioners in the private sector (55.7%), and general dental practitioners (GDPs) (47%). The overall prevalence of job satisfaction among dental professionals was 30%. Occupational stress was significantly associated with burnout and job dissatisfaction in dentistry. Stress levels and working hours were statistically and positively associated, whereas the association between stress levels and job satisfaction was inversely and significantly associated. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of occupational stress among dental practitioners was high and the level of job satisfaction was moderate. The model between these variables was well-fitted.

Authors: Lee Yushin , Kim Yong Min , Pyo Sujin , Yun Myung Hwan
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Today, sedentary lifestyles are very common for children. Therefore, maintaining a good posture while sitting is very important to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. To maintain a good posture, the formation of good postural habit must be encouraged through posture correction. However, long-term observation is required for effective posture correction. Additionally, posture correction is more effective when it is performed in real time. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study is to classify nine representative sitting postures of children by applying a machine learning technique using pressure distribution data according to the sitting postures. METHODS: In this study, a customized film-type pressure sensor was developed and pressure distribution data from nine sitting postures was collected from seven to twelve year-old children. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was applied to classify the sitting postures and three experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the model in three applicable usage scenarios: usage by familiar identifiable users, usage by familiar, but unidentifiable users, and usage by unfamiliar users. RESULTS: The results of our experiments revealed model accuracies of 99.66%, 99.40%, and 77.35%, respectively. When comparing the recall values for each posture, leaning left and leaning right postures had high recall values, but good posture, leaning forward, and crossed-legs postures had low recall values. CONCLUSION: The results of experiments indicated that CNN is an excellent classification method to classify the posture when the pressure distribution data is used as input data. This study is expected to contribute a development of system to aid in observing the natural sitting behavior of children and correcting poor posture in real time.

Published: April 2022

La malformación linfática quística (MLQ) es una entidad rara y benigna, debida a alteraciones en el desarrollo embriológico de las estructuras linfáticas. Su localización típica es en cabeza y cuello, aunque también se han descrito a nivel abdominal. Puede no ser evidente en las primeras etapas de la vida y que su primera manifestación sea una complicación como distensión abdominal, hemorragia o sepsis con riesgo de la vida del paciente. El tratamiento quirúrgico está cada vez más discutido y se proponen técnicas menos invasivas. Objetivo: Describir una presentación poco común de MLQ, los hallazgos radiográficos, complicaciones, diagnóstico diferencial y tratamientos tanto invasivos como más conservadores. Caso Clínico: Recién nacida que consultó por febrícula e irritabilidad, sin signos específicos al examen físico, ingresado con sospecha de sepsis. La ecografía evidenció una masa compleja tabicada con quistes de diferentes tamaños que englobaba los vasos mesentéricos, de localización supravesical. En su vertiente más anterior presentaba una mayor ecogenicidad que correspondía al componente sobreinfectado. La resonancia magnética permitió identificar un tumor quístico multitabicado correspondiente a un linfoangioma mesentérico complicado con signos de infección. Debido a su tamaño, que comprimía la vena cava y los signos de complicación asociados se decidió resección completa con buena evolución posterior. Conclusión: El tratamiento de las MLQ en edad pediátrica es cada vez más individualizado, pudiendo variar desde la resección quirúrgica a abordajes menos invasivos que podrían reducir las complicaciones intra o postoperatorias agudas y su mortalidad. En nuestro caso la infección actuó como escleroterapia consiguiendo delimitar la MLQ y ayudando a mejorar el pronóstico.

Las infecciones por Cupriavidus spp. son poco frecuentes, especialmente en niños, causando infecciones en inmunodeprimidos o portadores de dispositivos intravasculares. Objetivo: Presentar un caso de bacteriemia recurrente relacionada con catéter por Cupriavidus pauculus en un paciente pediátrico para analizar posibles opciones terapéuticas, especialmente en relación con la necesidad o no de retirada de catéter venoso central (CVC). Caso Clínico: Niño de 22 meses con leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA) tipo B en fase de reinducción, portador de un CVC. Consultó en Servicio de Urgencias por fiebre sin foco, sin elevación de reactantes de fase aguda. Se hospitalizó con antibioterapia intravenosa empírica con cefalosporina de 4ª generación (cefepime). En los hemocultivos diferenciales (sangre periférica y CVC) se identificó Cupriavidus pauculus, creciendo primero en el cultivo del CVC. Se mantuvo antibioterapia sistémica sin cambios y se iniciaron sellados del catéter con ciprofloxacino. La evolución fue favorable, resolviéndose la infección y permitiendo conservar el catéter. Siete meses después el paciente presentó otro episodio de fiebre sin foco, aislándose nuevamente Cupriavidus pauculus en el hemocultivo del CVC. En esta ocasión, además de cefepime intravenoso, se decidió retirar el CVC. Tras 9 meses de la retirada del CVC, no ha presentado nuevos episodios. Conclusión: Las infecciones por Cupriavidus spp. son raras en pediatría. El tratamiento sistémico asociado a sellados del CVC podría ser una opción segura en pacientes estables con dificultad para la retirada del catéter; aunque, ante la sospecha de colonización persistente del catéter, puede ser necesaria su retirada.
