Mapping Inequities in Digital Health Technology Within the World Health Organization’s European Region Using PROGRESS PLUS: Scoping Review
Authors: Woolley Katherine E , Bright Diana , Ayres Toby , Morgan Fiona , Little Kirsty , Davies Alisha R
Published: April 2023

Background

The use of digital technologies within health care rapidly increased as services transferred to web-based platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic. Inequalities in digital health across the domains of equity are not routinely examined; yet, the long-term integration of digitally delivered services needs to consider such inequalities to ensure equitable benefits.

Objective

This scoping review aimed to map inequities in access, use, and engagement with digital health technologies across equity domains.

Methods

We searched 4 electronic databases (MEDLINE, ASSIA, PsycINFO, and Scopus) for quantitative and mixed methods reviews and meta-analyses published between January 2016 and May 2022. Reviews were limited to those that included studies from the World Health Organization’s European region. Extracted data were mapped against Cochrane’s PROGRESS PLUS (place of residence, race, ethnicity, culture, and language, occupation, gender and sex, religion, education, socioeconomic status, social capital, and other characteristics) dimensions of equity.

Results

In total, 404 unique citations were identified from the searches, and 2 citations were identified from other sources. After eligibility assessment, 22 reviews were included. Consistent evidence was found showing higher access to digital health technologies among patients who were of White ethnicity, were English speaking, and had no disability. There were no reviews that explored differences in access to digital health care by age, gender and sex, occupation, education, or homeless or substance misuse. Higher use of digital health technologies was observed among populations that were White, English speaking, younger, with a higher level of education, of higher economic status, and residents in urban areas. No clear evidence of differences in the use of digital technologies by occupation, gender and sex, disability, or homeless or substance misuse was found, nor was clear evidence found in the included reviews on inequalities in the engagement with digital technologies. Finally, no reviews were identified that explored differences by place of residence.

Conclusions

Despite awareness of the potential impact of inequalities in digital health, there are important evidence gaps across multiple equity domains. The development of a common framework for evaluating digital health equity in new health initiatives and consistency in reporting findings is needed.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

The Australian Dietary Guidelines (ADG) translate the best available evidence in nutrition into food choice recommendations. However, adherence to the ADG is poor in Australia. Given that following a healthy diet can be a potentially cost-effective strategy for lowering the risk of chronic diseases, there is an urgent need to develop novel technologies for individuals to improve their adherence to the ADG.

OBJECTIVE

This study describes the development process and design of a prototype mobile app for personalized dietary advice based on the ADG for adults in Australia, with the aim of exploring the usability of the prototype. The goal of the prototype was to provide personalized, evidence-based support for self-managing food choices in real time.

METHODS

The guidelines of the design science paradigm were applied to guide the design, development, and evaluation of a progressive web app using Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud services via iterations. The food layer of the Nutrition Care Process, the strategies of cognitive behavioral theory, and the ADG were translated into prototype features guided by the Persuasive Systems Design model. A gain-framed approach was adopted to promote positive behavior changes. A cross-modal image-to-recipe retrieval model under an Apache 2.0 license was deployed for dietary assessment. A survey using the Mobile Application Rating Scale and semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted to explore the usability of the prototype through convenience sampling (N=15).

RESULTS

The prominent features of the prototype included the use of image-based dietary assessment, food choice tracking with immediate feedback leveraging gamification principles, personal goal setting for food choices, and the provision of recipe ideas and information on the ADG. The overall prototype quality score was “acceptable,” with a median of 3.46 (IQR 2.78-3.81) out of 5 points. The median score of the perceived impact of the prototype on healthy eating based on the ADG was 3.83 (IQR 2.75-4.08) out of 5 points. In-depth interviews identified the use of gamification for tracking food choices and innovation in the image-based dietary assessment as the main drivers of the positive user experience of using the prototype.

CONCLUSIONS

A novel evidence-based prototype mobile app was successfully developed by leveraging a cross-disciplinary collaboration. A detailed description of the development process and design of the prototype enhances its transparency and provides detailed insights into its creation. This study provides a valuable example of the development of a novel, evidence-based app for personalized dietary advice on food choices using recent advancements in computer vision. A revised version of this prototype is currently under development.
Testing Behavioral Messages to Increase Recruitment to Health Research When Embedded Within Social Media Campaigns on Twitter: Web-Based Experimental Study (Preprint)
Authors: Stoffel Sandro T , Law Jing Hui , Kerrison Robert , Brewer Hannah R , Flanagan James M , Hirst Yasemin
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

Social media is rapidly becoming the primary source to disseminate invitations to the public to consider taking part in research studies. There is, however, little information on how the contents of the advertisement can be communicated to facilitate engagement and subsequently promote intentions to participate in research.

OBJECTIVE

This paper describes an experimental study that tested different behavioral messages for recruiting study participants for a real-life observational case-control study.

METHODS

We included 1060 women in a web-based experiment and randomized them to 1 of 3 experimental conditions: standard advertisement (n=360), patient endorsement advertisement (n=345), and social norms advertisement (n=355). After seeing 1 of the 3 advertisements, participants were asked to state (1) their intention to take part in the advertised case-control study, (2) the ease of understanding the message and study aims, and (3) their willingness to be redirected to the website of the case-control study after completing the survey. Individuals were further asked to suggest ways to improve the messages. Intentions were compared between groups using ordinal logistic regression, reported in percentages, adjusted odds ratio (aOR), and 95% CIs.

RESULTS

Those who were in the patient endorsement and social norms–based advertisement groups had significantly lower intentions to take part in the advertised study compared with those in the standard advertisement group (aOR 0.73, 95% CI 0.55-0.97; P=.03 and aOR 0.69, 95% CI 0.52-0.92; P=.009, respectively). The patient endorsement advertisement was perceived to be more difficult to understand (aOR 0.65, 95% CI 0.48-0.87; P=.004) and to communicate the study aims less clearly (aOR 0.72, 95% CI 0.55-0.95; P=.01). While the patient endorsement advertisement had no impact on intention to visit the main study website, the social norms advertisement decreased willingness compared with the standard advertisement group (157/355, 44.2% vs 191/360, 53.1%; aOR 0.74, 95% CI 0.54-0.99; P=.02). The majority of participants (395/609, 64.8%) stated that the messages did not require changes, but some preferred clearer (75/609, 12.3%) and shorter (59/609, 9.7%) messages.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this study indicate that adding normative behavioral messages to simulated tweets decreased participant intention to take part in our web-based case-control study, as this made the tweet harder to understand. This suggests that simple messages should be used for participant recruitment through Twitter (subsequently rebranded X).
Poverty and Unemployment in Stephen Crane’s Maggie: A Girl of the Streets: A New-Historicism Study
Authors: Sujiwa Krisna , Sangsthita Salsabila Bunga , Restu Pandu Wiguna
Published: April 2023

This paper will analyze poverty and unemployment in America that is portrayed in Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and the parallels connection between the story and the era in the US at that time. The researchers apply the Neo-Historicism approach to analyze the issue since it helps the researcher answer the research problem by analyzing the historical event, social problem, time and place that become key components. The researcher also employed a qualitative descriptive method to analyze the primary data, that is the novel by Stephen Crane entitled Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, while the supporting data were taken from books, articles, journals, online sources, and other sources. The outcome demonstrates the existence of societal problems like unemployment and poverty, which Stephen Crane makes the novel's primary problem. Researchers discovered a resemblance between Maggie's poverty and unemployment and the historical period in the USA at the time. What Crane shows in his novel is that not all Americans, especially those in New York during the industrial revolution, have happy lives. Moreover, a large number of people experience unemployment and poor condition, which is made worse by the industrial revolution and the American Panic of 1893. These issues resemble the societal issues that are presented in the book.
Influence of vanadium, niobium and boron on kinetics of austenite recrystallization of steels with different strength levels under hot deformation conditions
Authors: Kniazyuk T. V. , Novoskoltsev N. S. , Khlusova E. I. , Zisman A. A.
Published: April 2023

Summarized results of research of the dynamic and static austenite recrystallization kinetics of low-carbon low-alloy and alloyed steels of strength classes 420, 620, 690, 750 and 890 and medium-carbon steels of strength class 1700 containing different amounts of vanadium, niobium and boron are presented. Studies were carried out by the plasmetric method under deformation conditions close to hot rolling. It was found that vanadium has a weak effect on recrystallization, and niobium in all the studied steels significantly slows it down in the hot rolling temperature range, regardless of the total doping level; microalloying of steels with boron leads to acceleration of austenite recrystallization.
Comparison of kinship-identification methods for robust stock assessment using close-kin mark--recapture data for Pacific bluefin tuna

Published: April 2023

There have been many attempts to understand population dynamics in
fishery resources such as tuna species using an integrated-analysis
model with multiple data sources. However, estimating the absolute
abundance level in practical stock assessments remains challenging. The
close-kin mark–recapture (CKMR) method provides information about the
number of adults in a population utilizing close-kinship pairs (i.e.,
parent–offspring, full-sibling, or half-sibling pairs) identified based
on statistical methods that employ genetic markers. To introduce the
CKMR method into the stock assessment by integrated analysis, it is
necessary to clarify the potential errors obtained from the
uncertainties in the CKMR method and other data sources. In this paper,
we applied three methods of kinship identification for samples from the
wild Pacific bluefin tuna population using genome-wide DNA markers to
determine the potential errors in statistical kinship estimates. Herein,
one method used a random-forest classification algorithm called fraRF
that employed pairwise identity-by-descent values. The other two methods
were CKMRsim and COLONY. Comparisons among these three methods revealed
differences in the numbers of inferred kinship pairs, especially for
sibling relationships. The differences among the three methods seem to
occur mainly from uncertainty of the kinship identification in the CKMR
method. Therefore, this result provides an understanding of ways to
incorporate the CKMR method into the integrated analysis model with the
possible CKMR errors.
Top-down effects of intraspecific predator behavioral variation
Authors: Lichtenstein James , McEwen Brendan , Primavera Skylar , Lenihan Thomas , Wood Zoe , Carson Walter P.
Published: April 2023

Among-individual variation in predator traits is ubiquitous in nature.
However, the role of intraspecific trait variation in trophic dynamics
has been seldom considered in community ecology. This has left
unexplored a) to what degree does among-individual variation in predator
traits regulate prey populations and b) to what degree do these effects
vary spatially. We address these questions by examining how predator
among-individual variation in functional traits shapes communities
across habitats of varying structural complexity, in field conditions
for the first time. We manipulated Chinese mantis (Tenodera sinensis)
density and trait variability in experimental patches of old fields with
varying habitat complexity and quantified the impacts on lower trophic
levels, specifically prey and plant biomass. Our mantis groups thus
contrasted in density (six or twelve individuals) and levels of
variation in a key behavioral trait, activity level (movement on an open
field). Our metric of habitat complexity was the density of plant
material. In complex habitats and at high mantis densities, behaviorally
variable groups decreased prey biomass by 35.1%, while at low
densities, low levels of behavioral trait variability decreased
arthropod biomass by 27.1%. Behavioral variability also changed prey
community composition. Our results are among the first to demonstrate
that among-individual trait variation can shape open species-rich prey
communities. Further, these effects depend on both predator density and
habitat complexity. Incorporating this important facet of ecological
diversity revealed normally unnoticed effects of functional traits on
the structure and function of food webs.

Published: April 2023

This study aims to assess the water supply company’s tariff modification under various circumstances. To evaluate the financial situation if no tariff modifications were made, the study first conducted an examination of the existing financial data. A tariff adjustment scenario is also run through an investment feasibility test and until it reaches the full cost recovery (FCR). A variety of scenarios for tariff adjustment were run, each one with a different percentage increase in tariffs and a different time period for the increase in tariffs. These scenarios were based on the findings of the analysis done on the water demand and the adjustment of water usage tariffs at PDAM Tirta Musi Palembang. This hypothetical situation demonstrated how higher tariffs will affect the company’s ability to increase revenue. To sum up, this study has offered a framework about tariff adjustment under various alternatives, and examples of successful and unsuccessful pricing strategies in the local water company.
Minimal invasions: is wrist arthroscopy supported by evidence? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Karjalainen Venla-Linnea , Harris Ian A , Räisänen Mikko , Karjalainen Teemu
Published: April 2023

Background and purpose: Wrist arthroscopy is used increasingly, but its benefits and harms are unclear. This systematic review aimed to identify all published randomized controlled trials on wrist arthroscopy and synthesize the evidence of the benefits and harms of wrist arthroscopic procedures.Methods: We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and Embase for randomized controlled trials comparing wrist-arthroscopic surgery with corresponding open surgery, placebo surgery, a non-surgical treatment, or no treatment. We estimated the treatment effect with a random effect meta-analysis using patient reported outcome measure (PROM) as primary outcome where several studies assessed the same intervention.Results: Of 7 included studies, none compared wrist arthroscopic procedures with no treatment or placebo surgery. 3 trials compared arthroscopically assisted reduction with fluoroscopic reduction of intra-articular distal radius fractures. The certainty of evidence was low to very low for all comparisons. The benefit of arthroscopy was clinically unimportant (smaller than what patients may consider meaningful) at all time points. 2 studies compared arthroscopic and open resection of wrist ganglia, finding no significant difference in recurrence rates. 1 study estimated the benefit of arthroscopic joint debridement and irrigation in intra-articular distal radius fractures, showing no clinically relevant benefit. 1 study compared arthroscopic triangular fibrocartilage complex repair with splinting in distal radioulnar joint instability in people with distal radius fractures, finding no evidence of benefits for repair at the long-term follow-up but the study was unblinded, and the estimates imprecise.Conclusion: The current limited evidence from RCTs does not support benefits of wrist arthroscopy compared with open or non-surgical interventions.
Combination of topology and shape optimization with finite element modeling in the case of an aerospace component produced by laser based additive manufacturing
Authors: Ferreira R. J. , Grande A. M. , Guedes J. M. , Deus A. M. , Sala G.
Published: April 2023

The present work applies a design for additive manufacturing-driven design methodology to an aeronautical component to be fabricated through an additive manufacturing (AM) process. This involves simulation of the process using Abaqus Finite Element software as well as the development of a design methodology concerning topology and shape optimization utilizing SIMULIA Tosca. A benchmarking AM simulation is performed first to provide validation and general guidelines needed to properly implement a low-resolution AM simulation in Abaqus. The structural optimization is started by volume minimization topology optimization. Solid isotropic material with penalization fails to achieve convergence with frequency response constraints, while mass interpolation material penalization converges to a well-connected design. The design interpretation with polyNURBs results in a single component with a weight reduction of 2.29% compared to current two component assemblies. Further implementation of shape optimization to address stress design requirements allows achieving stress homogeneity and a lower weight, resulting in a 5.12% weight reduction. The AM simulation process is applied to a scaled version of the final design to both assess the printability of the part itself as well as implementation of key tools to define the AM simulation. Maximum distortion of the part appears at expected regions with an overhanging material.

УКРАЇНСЬКА АНТРОПОНІМІЯ XVІІ СТ. У МАЛОВІДОМОМУ ТУРЕЦЬКОМУ ІСТОРИЧНОМУ ДЖЕРЕЛІ. IV
Authors: Купчинська Зоряна
Published: April 2023

Статтю присвячено дослідженню українських антропонімів XVІІ ст., які засвідчені в маловідомому турецькому історичному джерелі «Дефтер Муфассал 1681 року». Простудійовано власні назви людей лише на літери І–J. Метою статті є аналіз власних назв, засвідчених у «Дефтері Муфассалі 1681 року». Щоб досягти мети, визначено такі завдання: 1) ознайомити читача з маловідомою турецькою історичною пам’яткою «Дефтером Муфассалом 1681 року»; 2) вѝокремити українські антропоніми XVІІ ст.; 3) провести аналіз власних назв людей та порівняти їх із сучасним українським антропоніміконом; 4) виявити ті оніми, які на сучасному етапі не зафіксовані. У розвідці ви- користані описовий метод і методи аналізу та систематизації. Давні антропоніми, виокремлені з історичного джерела,

– додаткове джерело антропонімікону, який функціонував на території України в XVІІ ст. Власні назви людей, що ре- презентовані в «Дефтері Муфассалі 1681 року», свідчать про давність таких онімних утворень, адаптацію запозичених імен на україномовному ґрунті. Сумуючи вищезазначене, можемо стверджувати, що з 201 назви на І–J засвідчено такі, які: поширені і сьогодні на рівні власних імен людей і прізвищ; мають відмінності зі сучасними відповідниками на фонетичному рівні; не виявлені на сучасному етапі, знаходимо їх у похідних назвах; на сьогодні є екзотичними, рідко вживаються в сучасному антропоніміконі. Практична цінність статті полягає в тому, що виявлені та проаналізовані власні назви людей поповнили загальнослов’янський антропонімікон. У результаті розвідки було встановлено осо- бливості антропонімії, що виділена з турецької пам’ятки «Дефтер Муфассал 1681 року», зокрема це історичне дже- рело засвідчує функціонування прізвищевих назв в Україні на кінець ХVII ст., репрезентований список антропонімів літери І–J підтверджує, що у ХVII ст. існував обширний реєстр запозичених власних імен, які адаптувалися на україн- ському мовному ґрунті; законстатовано великий спектр різноманітних суфіксів (-ад, -ак, -ан, -ар, -ас, -аш, -ей, -ейк(о), -енко, -ець, -ик, -ил(о), -им, -ин, -ич, -иш, -ій, -к(о), -л(о), -ник, -ор, -ук, -ул, -ун, -ух), за допомогою яких творилися похідні імена/прізвиська/прізвищеві назви; сьогодні важко коментувати засвідчені антропоніми ХVII ст. однозначно через те, що, очевидно, не завжди коректна транслітерація первинних записів у Дефтері, це стосується головно різночитання ç (İmeç, İrmeneç), ş (İrış, İvaçış), і після приголосного (İstovim, İzvenilo) тощо; проаналізоваий фрагмент антропонімії «Дефтера Муфассала 1681 року» свідчить про те, що система українських власних назв історично і територіально об’єднана.
ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ ЗАСАДИ ВИВЧЕННЯ ЗООФРАЗЕМ В АНГЛІЙСЬКІЙ ТА УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ МОВАХ
Authors: Полюжин Іван , Венжинович Наталія
Published: April 2023

Стаття присвячена опису та аналізу теоретичних засад вивчення зоофразем в англійській та українській мовах. Це дослідження є надзвичайно актуальним, оскільки воно ще не було предметом спеціального наукового розгляду. Автори представляють класичні напрацювання вчених, які заклали основи новітніх досліджень. Особливу увагу приділено опису наукового доробку В. Виноградова, Ш. Баллі, О. Куніна, М. Алефіренка, В. Мокієнка та інших відомих мовознавців. Своїм головним завданням вчені вважали виявлення й опис лексико-семантичних і синтаксичних особливостей словосполучень як номінативних одиниць мови, які кардинально відрізнялися від окремих слів і вільних словосполучень. На цій структурно-семантичній основі здійснено виділення та класифікацію фразеологізмів.

У центрі уваги цього «класичного» періоду розвитку фразеології було окреслено її об’єкт як самостійної лінгвістичної дисципліни та пошук критеріїв її відмежування як від слів, так і від вільних словосполучень.

Мета статті – описати основні теоретичні засади дослідження зоофразем в англійській та українській мовах. Основними завданнями статті є: репрезентувати класичні та нові наукові досягнення щодо основних принципів вивчення зоофразем англійської та української мов; представити найважливіші класифікації фразеосполучень; описати та проаналізувати періоди розвитку фразеології; проаналізувати основні критерії та розуміння фразеологічної одиниці. У статті зроблено висновок, що зоофраземи є вагомим компонентом фразеологічної картини світу. На сучасному етапі вчені використовують класичні досягнення фразеологічної науки, а також застосовують новітні методи дослідження. Студіювання зоофразем англійської та української мов уможливило з’ясувати, що в обох мовах важливе місце посідають ключові слова-назви тварин. У наступних наукових розвідках заплановано поглибити наше дослідження, в якому докладно розглянемо ментальні особливості ключових слів-символів в обох мовах.

Authors: Лавер Оксана
Published: April 2023

Статтю присвячено дослідженню літературно-художнього антропонімікону в збірці Петра Скунця «Твори. Книга 1», зокрема в поетичних циклах «І ті, з ким жити не судилось…», «…І ті, з ким жив донині». Петро Скунць наполегливою і подвижницькою творчою працею підготував ґрунт, на якому духовно зростатиме не одне по- коління українців. Майстерно застосовуючи традиційні й новаторські прийоми у використанні мовних засобів, закар- патський митець вивів українське поетичне мовлення на новий рівень. Домінантними стилістемами, які виражають україноцентричний характер лірики письменника стали літературно-художні антропоніми. Неможливо осягнути твор- чий світ поета без пізнання його художньо-естетичної інтерпретації власних назв, що зумовлює актуальність теми нашого дослідження.

Мета статті – лінгвістичний аналіз літературно-художніх антропонімів у поетичних творах Петра Скунця та специфіка їх художньо-естетичної інтерпретації.

Реалізація мети передбачає виконання таких завдань: простежити на прикладі поетичної творчості П. Скунця проміжні етапи набуття пропріальною лексемою статусу літературно-художнього антропоніма; визначити семантико- стилістичну роль антропонімів у структурі заголовків поезій-присвят; здійснити функційно-стилістичну характерис- тику літературно-художніх антропонімів у творах митця.

У статті проаналізовано особливості літературно-художнього антропонімікону П. Скунця. З’ясовано обсяг дже- рельної бази літературно-художніх антропонімів, їх стилістичне значення та функції, роль антропонімів у заголовку і в поетичному тексті.

Доведено, що Петро Скунць майстерно використовує ресурси пропріативної лексики, значна частина онімів ві- діграє ключову роль для створення відповідного мотиву чи настрою, для увиразнення проблемної теми. Літератур- но-художній антропонімікон Петра Скунця національно значущий: забезпечує текст історичною та етнографічною достовірністю, різноманітністю конотативного та асоціативного змісту, глибиною символічної інформації, спроекто- ваної автором на осмислення проблем, пов’язаних із становленням національної свідомості, відродженням історичної пам’яті народу.

Tanaman rempah yang terkenal dari daerah Maluku di antaranya pala, kayu putih, dan cengkeh. Kandungan senyawa kimia tanaman rempah menjadikannya memiliki aroma yang khas dengan beragam manfaat serta nilai jual yang tinggi. Akan tetapi, pemanfaatan tanaman rempah sejauh ini belum maksimal terutama dari segi pendapatan masyarakat lokal. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan inovasi untuk meningkatkan nilai ekonomis dari tanaman tersebut bagi masyarakat. Hal ini dapat dilakukan melalui pelatihan pengembangan produk berbahan dasar rempah bagi ibu-ibu kelompok Bakopel Jemaat Bethania, Kelurahan Uritetu, Kecamatan Sirimau, Kota Ambon. Pelaksanan kegiatan pengabdian dimulai dengan eksperimen laboratorium, pelatihan pembuatan produk sabun dan lilin aroma rempah, dan promosi awal produk. Hasil yang diperoleh ibu-ibu belajar dan berlatih secara langsung pembuatan sabun dan lilin aroma terapi dengan menggunakan bahan dan peralatan yang dapat diperoleh di toko atau swalayan terdekat. Ibu-ibu juga diberikan penjelasan terkait proses pengemasan produk serta teknik pemasaran yang baik dan benar. Produk sabun dan lilin yang berhasil dibuat kelompok bakopel pasca pelatihan juga dipromosikan pada kegiatan Amboina Farmers Market di Lapangan Merdeka Ambon yang khusus memamerkan produk UMKM. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini diharapkan dapat terus dilanjutkan melalui pendampingan secara berkala sebelum kelompok ini bisa mandiri.

Rusunawa Jatinegara Kaum merupakan sebuah perumahan sederhana di Kecamatan Pulogadung, Jakarta Timur. Di rusunawa ini, terdapat setidaknya 51 anak berkebutuhan khusus dengan beberapa hambatan yang berbeda. Di samping itu, para orang tua dari anak berkebutuhan khusus di sini tidak memiliki pengetahuan yang cukup dalam mengasuh, menangani, dan memberikan pendidikan yang tepat bagi anak-anak mereka. Penyebabnya antara lain minimnya pengetahuan dan informasi mengenai penanganan anak berkebutuhan khusus dan pendidikannya, tidak menyadari bahwa anak mereka berkebutuhan khusus, latar belakang pendidikan orang tua yang rendah sehingga mengesampingkan pendidikan anak, kemampuan komunikasi yang kurang baik, serta kondisi ekonomi yang berdampak pada pendidikan anak.  Kegiatan pendampingan ini bertujuan untuk memberi edukasi bagi orang tua anak berkebutuhan khusus dalam menangani, mendidik, mengasuh, serta mendukung keterampilan dan kemandirian anak berkebutuhan khusus. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendampingan berupa workshop, focus group discussion (FGD), serta konsultasi. Hasil dari kegiatan ini antara lain meningkatnya kesadaran dan pemahaman orang tua anak berkebutuhan khusus dalam mendampingi dan menangani anak-anak mereka, serta membangun komitmen orang tua dalam membersamai dan mendampingi anak berkebutuhan khusus. Adapun luaran yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan ini adalah video kegiatan yang diunggah di kanal YouTube, artikel yang dipublikasikan di jurnal, poster pengabdian kepada masyarakat, berita atau artikel online yang diunggah di redaksi fokusatu.com dan channel9.id, serta terjalin kemitraan antara Prodi Pendidikan Khusus Fakultas Ilmu Pendidikan Universitas Negeri Jakarta dengan warga Rusunawa Jatinegara Kaum.

The observations of fruiting and formation of offspring through generative propagation presented in this study were aimed at determination of propagation potential in Iris aphylla L. The low percentage of germinating seeds largely limits its generative reproduction. The germination tests confirmed deep dormancy of the Iris aphylla seeds. The dormancy was disrupted by isolation of embryos from seeds, which were further cultivated in vitro. The germination of isolated embryos proved the localization of endogenous inhibitors of germinating seeds of I. aphylla in the endosperm. The comparison of phytohormonal profiles of seeds, endosperm and embryos of I. aphylla and Iris sibirica, i.e. a species with a high percentage of germinating seed, revealed that the deep dormancy of I. aphylla seeds was associated with the balance between abscisic acid and gibberellins (ABA/GA), a significant predominance of ABA and a massive accumulation of salicylic acid. Isolation of embryos from seeds and their germination in growing medium in vitro is recommended as the most efficient method for I. aphylla propagation. Results of this study can be applied in conservation efforts of this attractive and important native species.

Authors: Marcusohn Erez , Barbara Ameer , Epstein Danny , Massalha Samia , Zukermann Robert
Published: April 2023

Purpose

To assess the correlation between high sensitive troponin I (hsTnI) levels and myocardial damage on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) represented by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) percentage in patients diagnosed with myocarditis.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of consecutive patients who underwent CMR following a suspected diagnosis of acute myocarditis, comparing CMR findings viewed as LGE percentage and HsTnI levels.

Results

Between February 2016 and December 2021, 101 patients underwent CMR for suspected myocarditis in Rambam Medical Center. Seventy-six (75.2%) patients with a documented diagnosis of acute myocarditis in the medical records based on clinical history and lab work were included in the final analysis. The median age was 30 years [interquartile range (IQR) 22,42] and 62 patients (81.6%) were male. Thirty-four patients (44.7%) had a history of fever and 26 (34.2%) had upper respiratory tract symptoms. The median maximal hsTnI was 3935 ng/l (1165,10 380) and the median C-reactive protein (CRP) was 7.97 mg/l (2.35,19.28). The median LGE percentage was 4.65% (2.6,8.5) and ventricular ejection fraction 60% (56.00,64.75).

Linear association was found between LGE (%) and maximal hsTnI (ng/l) value with r = 0.49 (P < 0.001). After including only patients in whom the CMR was performed within 5 days of the maximal hsTnI the correlation improved to r = 0.67 (P < 0.001).

Conclusions

HsTnI is an indicator for myocardial damage extent resulting from inflammation in patients with acute myocarditis.

Aim

To analyze the associations between the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in absolute or relative performance in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and different degrees of claudication symptoms.

Methods

Two hundred and sixty-seven patients with PAD and claudication symptoms participated in the study. All patients underwent 6MWT and WIQ tests. Patients were divided into tertile groups according to their 6MWT performance (1st tertile = severe, 2nd = moderate, 3rd = mild). Multiple linear regression was performed to investigate the association between WIQ scores and the achievement of expected performance in the 6MWT.

Results

Claudication onset distance and time, total walking distance, and the percentage of the predicted values had a significant weak correlation (P < 0.01) with WIQ scores (distance, speed, and stair-climbing capacity). The correlations for almost all variables were slightly higher in the 1st tertile compared with the 2nd and 3rd tertiles (i.e. WIQ-distance and Claudication onset time, r = 0.25 and 0.12, WIQ-distance and Claudication onset distance, r = 0.34 and 0.18; WIQ-distance and total walking distance, r = 0.23 and 0.18, respectively). Multilinear regression confirmed a slightly superior relationship in the 1st tertile compared with the 2nd tertile (i.e. WIQ-distance and Claudication onset time, R
2 = 0.24 and R
2 = 0.01; WIQ-distance and Claudication onset distance, R
2 = 0.25 and R
2 = 0.03, respectively).

Conclusions

WIQ is weakly associated with absolute and relative 6MWT performance in patients with PAD. Despite slightly better correlations in patients with severe claudication symptoms, WIQ scores must be used with care as a surrogate marker of 6MWT performance in this group.

Published: April 2023

Objective

The aim of the study is to compare the prognostic power of the BUN/albumin ratio (BAR) calculated on admission to the emergency department and the SYNergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXus (SYNTAX) score calculated after coronary angiography (CAG) in predicting 30-day mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Method and Material

The study was conducted prospectively between March 2021 and March 2022 in the emergency department of a tertiary hospital. Patients over the age of 18 who underwent CAG with a diagnosis of STEMI were included in the study. Demographic charecteristics, comorbidities, laboratory parameters of the patients at the time of admission and SYNTAX (SX) score were recorded in the data form.

Results

A total of 1147 patients (77% male) diagnosed with STEMI were included in the study. When the receiver-operating characteristic analysis for SX score and laboratory parameters’ power to predict mortality was examined, it was found that the AUC value of the BAR level (AUC: 0.736; 95% confidence interval: 0.670–0.802, P < 0.001) was the highest. If the threshold value of the serum BAR level, which was determined to predict mortality, was taken as 4, the sensitivity was found to be 76.7% and the specificity was 56.9%. With multivariate logistic analysis, it was determined that the risk of mortality increased by 1.25 for each unit increase in the BAR value in STEMI patients (P < 0.001).

Conclusion

According to the study data, the BAR may guide the clinician in the early period as a practical and valuable predictor of 30-day mortality in patients diagnosed with STEMI.

Aims

We describe long-term clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in the largest single-centre cohort of patients who underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) with sutureless Perceval (CorCym, Italy) bioprosthesis.

Methods

Between March 2011 and March 2021, 1157 patients underwent AVR with Perceval bioprosthesis implantation. Mean age was 77 ± 6 years (range: 46–89 years) and mean EuroSCORE II was 6.7 ± 3.2% (range: 1.7–14.2%). Concomitant procedures were performed in 266 patients (23%).

Results

Thirty-day mortality was 1.38% (16/1157). Eight hundred and twenty of 891 (92%) isolated AVRs underwent minimally invasive surgery with a ministernotomy (n = 196) or right minithoracotomy (n = 624) approach. Cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times were 81.1 ± 24.3 and 50.6 ± 11.7 min for isolated AVR and 144.5 ± 34.7 and 96.4 ± 21.6 min for combined procedures. At mean follow-up of 53.08 ± 6.7 months (range: 1–120.5 months), survival was 96.5% and mean transvalvular pressure gradient was 13.7 ± 5.8 mmHg. Left ventricular mass decreased from 152.8 to 116.1 g/m2 (P < 0.001) and moderate paravalvular leakage occurred in three patients without haemolysis not requiring any treatment. Freedom from reoperation was 97.6%. Eight patients required surgical reintervention and 19 patients transcatheter valve-in-valve procedure for structural prosthesis degeneration at a mean of 5.6 years after first operation (range: 2–9 years).

Conclusion

AVR with a Perceval bioprosthesis is associated with good clinical results and excellent haemodynamic performance in our 10-year experience. Structural degeneration rate of Perceval is comparable with other bioprosthetic aortic valves. Sutureless technology may reduce operative time especially in combined procedures and enable minimally invasive AVR.
Anatomical and medical terminology: new challenges and perspectives
Authors: Chmielewski Piotr Paweł
Published: April 2023

In science and medicine, terminology is a precise system of terms that are generally accepted in a given discipline. In anatomy, it is important to distinguish between terminology and nomenclature, which is an officially accepted set of terms arranged according to certain rules and principles. The Terminologia Anatomica (1998) has been the golden standard in the field of terminology, even though it contains minor errors, inaccuracies, discrepancies, multiplication of terms, inconvenient terms as well as synonyms and identical names for different structures. All of these problems need to be solved in the future, which is a key cchallenge in the field. Another major challenge is to create a clear, precise, logical, flawless and worldwide accepted list of anatomical terms that would cover all the names that are used in education and clinical practice. Many researchers and clinicians assert that this task is still ahead of us. The aim of this article is to explain why the longstanding tradition of medical terminology should be respected and why major and rapid changes should never be endorsed. Anatomical terminology, if correctly used, is a basic tool of communication both within and outside the field. It is also a guide through the intricacies of the human anatomy.
