Authors: Wang Hailiang , Zhao Yang , Yu Lisha , Liu Jiaxing , Zwetsloot Inez Maria , Cabrera Javier , Tsui Kwok-Leung
Published: September 2020

Background

Telehealth is an effective means to assist existing health care systems, particularly for the current aging society. However, most extant telehealth systems employ individual data sources by offline data processing, which may not recognize health deterioration in a timely way.

Objective

Our study objective was two-fold: to design and implement an integrated, personalized telehealth system on a community-based level; and to evaluate the system from the perspective of user acceptance.

Methods

The system was designed to capture and record older adults’ health-related information (eg, daily activities, continuous vital signs, and gait behaviors) through multiple measuring tools. State-of-the-art data mining techniques can be integrated to detect statistically significant changes in daily records, based on which a decision support system could emit warnings to older adults, their family members, and their caregivers for appropriate interventions to prevent further health deterioration. A total of 45 older adults recruited from 3 elderly care centers in Hong Kong were instructed to use the system for 3 months. Exploratory data analysis was conducted to summarize the collected datasets. For system evaluation, we used a customized acceptance questionnaire to examine users’ attitudes, self-efficacy, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and behavioral intention on the system.

Results

A total of 179 follow-up sessions were conducted in the 3 elderly care centers. The results of exploratory data analysis showed some significant differences in the participants’ daily records and vital signs (eg, steps, body temperature, and systolic blood pressure) among the 3 centers. The participants perceived that using the system is a good idea (ie, attitude: mean 5.67, SD 1.06), comfortable (ie, self-efficacy: mean 4.92, SD 1.11), useful to improve their health (ie, perceived usefulness: mean 4.99, SD 0.91), and easy to use (ie, perceived ease of use: mean 4.99, SD 1.00). In general, the participants showed a positive intention to use the first version of our personalized telehealth system in their future health management (ie, behavioral intention: mean 4.45, SD 1.78).

Conclusions

The proposed health monitoring system provides an example design for monitoring older adults’ health status based on multiple data sources, which can help develop reliable and accurate predictive analytics. The results can serve as a guideline for researchers and stakeholders (eg, policymakers, elderly care centers, and health care providers) who provide care for older adults through such a telehealth system.

Published: September 2020

Background

Widespread adoption, use, and integration of patient-facing technologies into the workflow of health care systems has been slow, thus limiting the realization of their potential. A growing body of work has focused on how best to promote adoption and use of these technologies and measure their impacts on processes of care and outcomes. This body of work currently suffers from limitations (eg, cross-sectional analyses, limited patient-generated data linked with clinical records) and would benefit from institutional infrastructure to enhance available data and integrate the voice of the patient into implementation and evaluation efforts.

Objective

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has launched an initiative called the Veterans Engagement with Technology Collaborative cohort to directly address these challenges. This paper reports the process by which the cohort was developed and describes the baseline data being collected from cohort members. The overarching goal of the Veterans Engagement with Technology Collaborative cohort is to directly engage veterans in the evaluation of new VHA patient-facing technologies and in so doing, to create new infrastructure to support related quality improvement and evaluation activities.

Methods

Inclusion criteria for veterans to be eligible for membership in the cohort included being an active user of VHA health care services, having a mobile phone, and being an established user of existing VHA patient-facing technologies as represented by use of the secure messaging feature of VHA’s patient portal. Between 2017 and 2018, we recruited veterans who met these criteria and administered a survey to them over the telephone.

Results

The majority of participants (N=2727) were male (2268/2727, 83.2%), White (2226/2727, 81.6%), living in their own apartment or house (2519/2696, 93.4%), and had completed some college (1176/2701, 43.5%) or an advanced degree (1178/2701, 43.6%). Cohort members were 59.9 years old, on average. The majority self-reported their health status as being good (1055/2725, 38.7%) or very good (524/2725, 19.2%). Most cohort members owned a personal computer (2609/2725, 95.7%), tablet computer (1616/2716, 59.5%), and/or smartphone (2438/2722, 89.6%).

Conclusions

The Veterans Engagement with Technology Collaborative cohort is an example of a VHA learning health care system initiative designed to support the data-driven implementation of patient-facing technologies into practice and measurement of their impacts. With this initiative, VHA is building capacity for future, rapid, rigorous evaluation and quality improvement efforts to enhance understanding of the adoption, use, and impact of patient-facing technologies.
Quality of Red Reflex Teaching Videos on the Internet: Cross-Sectional Study (Preprint)
Authors: Dodds Connie , Blaikie Andrew , Patel Sirjhun
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND

The importance of red reflex testing as part of neonatal screening is recognised worldwide. The technique is ideally suited to online video-based instruction. The quality of online teaching material is however unknown

OBJECTIVE

We aim to objectively score the quality of red reflex demonstration videos in order to determine their pedagogical effectiveness and to assess the relationship between search engine ranking and quality.

METHODS

An internet search was performed on 12th February 2020 using keywords related to red reflex examination on search engine platforms YouTube, Google and DuckDuckGo. Video characteristics were recorded and popularity determined by calculating a Video Power Index (VPI) score. The videos were assessed by two medical students and two ophthalmologists using scoring systems: Red Reflex Specific (RRS), Understandability & Attractiveness (U&A), Reliability (JAMA), and Global Quality Score (GQS). A Total Quality Score (TQS) was created from RRS, U&A and JAMA scores as a measure of overall quality. Videos were categorised by source and in terms of usefulness. Correlations between audience interaction parameters and video quality alongside ranking position on the three search engines were investigated using Spearman’s rho.

RESULTS

Of the 625 videos screened, 14 were eligible for inclusion. Overall, videos had a mean TQS of 24.3/50 (range: 9 – 41) with six videos considered “educationally useful” based on the GQS. The main video source was physicians (43%), with videos uploaded by academics being of greatest overall quality (P = .023). There was a positive correlation between TQS and ranking position of videos using Google (rs= 0.569, P = .034) but not with other platforms.

CONCLUSIONS

The limited red reflex training videos currently available on the internet are generally poor and of variable quality. We recommend Google as a suitable platform to search for red reflex videos of better quality. These results may play a role in ensuring video teaching is performed optimally and highlight the need for improved access worldwide to videos of greater accuracy and reliability.
Estimation Modeling of Abutment Volume with Variations of Bridge Span, Abutment Height, and Seismic Zone
Authors: Mahendra Dicky Rahadian
Published: September 2020

The initial cost estimate for a bridge project using an estimation model can be done based on the dimensions, type, and material of the bridge. Research that has included bridge location as a determinant variable for initial bridge cost estimation has not been carried out much. The different locations of the bridge project will have different seismic accelerations and seismic load analysis. This study aims to create a model used to calculate the quantity needed for the construction of abutment in various locations with a PCI-Girder superstructure. The data used for the quantity estimation model was derived from the abutment design results. The data obtained from the calculation of concrete and reinforcing steel quantities from the abutment design with variations in bridge span i.e. 20 m; 25 m; 30 m; 35 m; and 40 m, abutment height i.e. 4 m; 6 m; and 8 m, and seismic zone 1, 2, 3, and 4. Volume estimation models are obtained by multiple linear regression analysis. The results show a very strong correlation between the span of the bridge and the height of abutment with the dependent variables. While the seismic zone has a strong correlation with the dependent variables. However, the seismic zone in this study did not meet the linear regression assumptions. This study developed 8 models to estimate abutment volumes. The R2 values of these models are 0.983 – 0.997. These showed that the models are properly made to be used to estimate abutment volumes with a PCI-Girder superstructure.

Published: September 2020

Grafting methods on tomato have been done to reduce the infection rate of various pathogens. Begomovirus and Crinivirus are important viruses in tomato plants. The research aimed to determine the resistance response of tomato plants to viral infection, and tomato production. Field research was conducted in Harjobinangun, Pakem, Sleman, Yogyakarta in the endemic area of the viral diseases transmitted by Bemisia tabaci. This experiment used a Completely Randomized Design non-factorial with “Servo” as scion and “Amelia”, “H-7996”, “Mawar” as rootstock. The disease development, presence of viral diseases, and tomato yields were observed. PCR detection using Krusty & Hommr primer successfully amplified Begomovirus DNA bands with an approximate size of 580 bp in tomato plant with interveinal chlorosis, curling, thick, rigid, and stunt symptoms. Chlorotic spots and yellowing symptoms successfully amplified using ToCV-CF/ToCV-CR specific primer for the amplification of Tomato chlorosis virus with DNA band approximately size of 360 bp, whereas using TICV-CF/TICV-CR specific primer could not amplify the virus cDNA. The leaves roll upward with purple interveinal symptoms that were not infected by both viruses. Both viral infections affected the quality of the fruit which indicated by a higher number of abnormal fruits. “Servo” grafted onto “Amelia” and non-grafted Servo were tolerant to viral infection, “Servo” grafted onto “H-7996” or to “Mawar variety were susceptible to viral infection, self-grafted Servo were very susceptible to viral infection.
Family Caregiver Phenomenon that Treats Persons with Disabilities Since Birth
Authors: Musi Halawiah Wia
Published: September 2020

Background: Disability is a disturbance or limitation of physical activity involving participation restrictions. The disturbance is a problem in the body’s function and its structure. Restrictions on physical activity are the difficulties faced in performing tasks or actions, while limiting participation is a problem experienced by individuals in engagement in life situations. Objective: This study aimed to provide an in-depth description of the feelings, explain the obstacles or difficulties experienced and explain the caregiver’s expectations of mothers/fathers/brothers in caring for children with disabilities from birth. Method: This study was a qualitative research with a descriptive phenomenology approach. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews of family caregivers of persons with disabilities since birth with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were analyzed by Colaizzi’s method and data triangulation was performed by a coder to maintain data validation. The sample selection was done by purposive sampling. The sample of the study amounted to 17 persons who were family caregivers. Result: The results showed that caregiver phenomenon in caring for persons with disabilities since birth is a burden. Psychological burdens include sadness, disappointment, anger, guilt, depression and ultimately acceptance. Additionally, there are financial burdens, time constraints and social stigma. Conclusions: Caregivers for persons with disabilities since birth experience several burdens, including psychological, physical, financial and social burdens. There is the psychological burden of anger, disappointment, fear, worry, and guilt which many finally can accept. The physical burden of fatigue, lack of sleep, lack of appetite may result in diseases such as gastritis, hypertension, along with muscle and joint disorders. Financial burdens are related to medical expenses, transportation, and daily necessities. The social burden involves stigma, negative labeling and lack of time with other families and communities. It is hoped all caregivers with family and community support can accept and overcome these challenges.

Authors: Pushkaran Pooja , Daniel Dinta , Subramaniyan Sivaramakrishnan , Sandhia G.S.
Published: September 2020

Plants with medical properties are often enriched with endophytes that have the potential to produce important bioactive compounds. Endophytes after entering the plant tissue may either colonize a particular tissue or may spread throughout the host plant without causing damage. The possession of pharmaceutical and biological properties has made the Holostemma ada-kodien Schult as one of the widely used plants of medicinal importance in India. Following the direct cut method three endophytic bacterial strains (UC H1, UC H4 and UC H7) were isolated, identified and characterized from the healthy looking rhizome of H. ada-kodien. Among these isolates, UC H1 and UC H4 were found to have many properties like antibacterial compounds, hydrolytic enzymes and plant growth promoting traits. The isolate UC H4 have ability for Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) production of 513.54 U/ml and very good protease and pectinase activities of 20.65 U/ml and 16.09 U/ml respectively. So far no reports are available on the endophytic microflora of H. ada-kodien.

Published: September 2020

The antibiotic resistance pattern was observed significantly in various geographical locations. Routine surveillance is therefore essential for constant monitoring of AMR rates in the clinically important pathogens. It is imperative to track the changing resistance pattern over time, to guide proper therapeutic strategies to combat infections due to drug-resistant pathogens. This study aims to highlights the distribution of aerobic bacterial isolated from pus samples, and their susceptibility to different antibiotics collected during 2017 (July to December) in a tertiary care hospital. Nearly 637 clinical pus samples were received during July to December 2017 to the Department of Microbiology, Tertiary care hospital, Puducherry. Bacterial identification was performed using standard conventional biochemical tests and antibiotic susceptibility was carried out according to CLSI guidelines 2017 on each one of the aerobic bacterial isolates from the pus samples. Among the isolates 76.5% were Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) as well as 23.5% were Gram-positive cocci (GPC). The most common bacteria isolated were Pseudomonas spp 24.88% (108 in 434), followed by Escherichia coli 21.66% (94 in 434), Staphylococcus aureus 19.82% (86 in 434) and Klebsiella pneumoniae 13.13% (57 in 434). Of the 86 (19.82%) Staphylococcus aureus isolates, 16 (18.40%) were MRSA. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was highly susceptible to the carbapenems and least susceptible to ciprofloxacin. Acinetobacter baumannii was the most resistant organism according to this study and showed the least susceptibility to ceftriaxone and maximum susceptibility to aminoglycosides. This study concluded that the Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate was found to be a predominant in our clinical pus samples. Gram negative bacteria are more commonly associated with the pyogenic lesion that Gram positive. A high level of an antibiotic resistance was observed in most of our bacterial isolates.

Published: September 2020

Multidrug resistance has been increasing world wide amongst most microrganisms, and adding to increased rate of both hospital and community acquired infections. Of all resistance mechanisms the alarming spread of carbapenemase producers is most worrisome and needs to be tackled head on. The present study was undertaken with the objective of determining the prevalence of carbapenemase producers and its significance in selecting the appropiate antibiotic for clinical use.The study was undertaken by the department of Microbiology and Immunology of SGRRIM&HS, Dehradun over a period of six months. A total of 1918 varied clinical specimens were subjected to Bacterial identification and antibiotic sensitivity determination. Further carbapenemase production was detected phenotypically using modified carbapenemase inactivation method (mCIM) for randomly selected 152 carbapenem resistant gram negative isolates. Total of 58.55% isolates tested mCIM test positive of which the highest percentage (71.4%) were Pseudomonas spp, while 17.2% isolates were not found to be carbapenemase producers i.e mCIM negative. These results substantiate the importance of differentiating the carbapenemase producers from non producers to aid in rational use of antibiotics.

Published: September 2020

There is increasing scientific evidence and commercial interest for using probiotics for eliminating and handling of specific diseases. Probiotics can be evaluated for its role and performance against isolated pathogens from contaminating sources. The present work reports on invitro antimicrobial activity of commercial selected probiotics against pathogenic microbe Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The work also describes cytotoxic activities using MTT assay and adherence studies of selected probiotics. Results for the studies showed maximum zone of inhibition 13.66±0.46mm in probiotic enteroplus,12.33±0.93mm in lactobacillus (NCIM2056) and 10.66±0.93mm in Avant Bact. Cytotoxicity was expressed as IC50(µg/ml) values, observed on CaCO cell lines for different probiotics. Avant Bact showed a IC50 value of 104.7745, Lactobacillus (NCIM2056) a value of 58.13223 and Enteroplus a value of 50.09716. These values expressed different safety aspects of probiotics used for study. Finally the adherence study was done to check probiotic colonizing capacity. The probiotics showed varied adherence capacity against caco cell lines. Enteroplus has % adhesion of 10.25±0.74, Avant Bact. 7.25±0.82 and Lactobacillus (NCIM2056) 7.5±1.12. In conclusion antimicrobial results show importance of probiotics to be used against specific gastro intestinal diseases. Cytotoxicity determines safety aspects of probiotics and adherence study determines probiotic as a promising candidate for in vivo studies.
Microbiological Characterization and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Haemophilus Influenzae Isolates from a Tertiary Care Centre in South India
Authors: Nair Gulsiv , Dinesh Kavitha R. , Karim P.M. Shamsul
Published: September 2020

Haemophilus are fastidious Gram negative bacilli, which require factor X (hemin), factor V (NAD), or both for their growth. Haemophilus influenzae is the type species, and is considered to be the most pathogenic. They are associated with many invasive infections including meningitis, epiglottitis, pneumonia, and otitis media. Serotype b is most commonly associated with infections. Haemophilus species isolated from patients in a tertiary care centre in South India were studied. Identification, serotyping and biotyping were done and antibiotic susceptibility test was performed. The incidence of H. influenzae infections in our study was 65.3 cases/100,000 persons. Serotype b was the most common (66.67%), followed by non typeable H.influenzae (NTHi) (25%). Most isolates from adults were type b, while all isolates from pediatric population were non typeable. The most common biotype was type II, followed by type I and type III. Three of 24 isolates were β lactamase producers (12.5%). One isolate was β lactamase negative Ampicillin resistant (BLNAR). Resistance to ampicillin was 16.67%. Resistance to cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones was low (4-10%). Co-trimoxazole resistance was found to be very high (75%). All isolates were susceptible to azithromycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and meropenem. No isolates of H.influenzae type b were obtained from the paediatric population which may be due to the introduction of Hib vaccine. The increase in resistance to commonly used antibiotics is worrisome, especially penicillins and co-trimoxazole. Use of co-trimoxazole in empirical therapy of upper and lower respiratory tract infections has a high chance of failure in the current scenario.

The problem for all countries in the world, including Indonesia, is the presence of a virus originating from Wuhan City, China. This virus is known as COVID-19. The Government of Indonesia has established COVID-19 as a type of disease that causes a Public Health Emergency. Therefore, prevention efforts must be made in accordance with existing provisions. The research method used is a socio-legal research method with a normative legal approach and a sociological approach conducted in Klaten-Central Java. The results of this study indicate that the policy currently being taken is health quarantine. The policy is the issuance of health protocols for the community. This protocol is known as the COVID-19 hygiene protocol, one of which is related to the obligation to wear masks by everyone when outside the home and the Hand Washing with Soap (CPTS) movement with running water either/both the use of antiseptic hand sanitizers as stipulated in the Ministry of Health Circular Number HK.02.02/I/385/2020. The level of awareness and compliance in Klaten Regency on the policy is exceptionally well, indicated by the dominant number of people in the use of masks when they are outside of the house and washing their hands with soap with running water either/both using antiseptic hand sanitizers. Therefore, the existence of a health protocol as a government policy in accelerating COVID-19 countermeasures is expected by parties, such as the Regional Government and the community in playing an active role referring to those who are feverish to the nearest hospital. Then, the Regional Government can socialize or urge people to use masks. For emergencies, if you sneeze or cough in a public area, cover your mouth with your inner elbows or upper sleeve. People who are sick are also advised not to use public transportation to minimize the possible risk of spreading the disease.

Relevant issues of periodic vibration monitoring of buildings and structures
Authors: Patrikeev Alexander V.
Published: September 2020

Introduction. The author proposes a new universal optimization approach to mechanical safety monitoring of buildings and structures in the process of their operation. The new approach involves periodic monitoring of mechanic vibrations.

Materials and methods. The methodology of periodic monitoring performable within the framework of general monitoring is based on the analysis of changes in the first natural frequency of a building or a structure and the logarithmic decrement of its damping along three mutually perpendicular axes. The shape and position of resonance peaks of the amplitude spectrum are employed to analyze resonant frequencies and logarithmic decrements of damping. The analysis of those electronically archived parameters is performed, whose values change over time proportionately with vibrations of a monitored facility. The time dependence of the first resonant frequency of a structure is considered as a generalized characteristic of its mechanical safety.

Results. The author has shown that findings of the spectral analysis performed in respect of the vibration process are irrespective of a measurement method, provided that the uniformity of external influences is ensured. The frequency dependence of the structure’s first mode of vibrations on time (per year) has two non-linear sections within the entire term of operation. Following the analysis of measurements taken at construction facilities exposed to wind loads, it’s been found that advanced monitoring instruments can identify changes in the value of the first resonant frequency and the damping decrement with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The author believes that this finding has great practical importance.

Conclusions. Identification of a trend towards a change in frequency and damping decrement values for the first mode of natural vibrations can help to schedule actions for the improvement of the mechanical safety of an engineering structure, and in some cases it can prevent an upcoming accident.
The role of urban dispersion in rational energy usein the Islamic Republic of Iran
Authors: Mesrizade Ahad S.
Published: September 2020

Introduction. Growing urbanization entails the construction of secondary and tertiary highways, buildings, development and protection of the infrastructure, aimed at improving the performance of cities; these actions are closely related to power consumption. The experience has proven that the functional planning of urban areas influences urban transportation. Therefore, the link between urban dispersion and types of transportation has turned into one of arguable points. Uncontrollable and spontaneous urban growth, irrational nation-wide traffic and area planning boost the daily use of cars in the cities. Therefore, the study of the factors that influence suburban sprawl can influence the reduction in the number of urban cars. On the whole, suburban sprawl in Iran increases the distance between home and workplace, shopping malls and entertainment centres, and influences the use of personal vehicles and motorcycles. And it can pollute urban air and generate urban heat islands.

Materials and methods. The co-authors have taken advantage of the official statistics, examination findings, geographical maps, draft master plans for cities, integrated transportation plans, plans of engineering and communication infrastructures.

Results. Any spontaneous expansion of cities, irrational power consumption cause inefficient use of resources and negative economic and social results. Problems of urban dispersion is a feature of the Anthropocene epoch.

Conclusions. The co-authors employed document analysis (printed books, articles, and digital libraries). Rational energy consumption, harmonious urban development and gardening are only feasible if reliance on cars is eliminated. Also, given the development of information and communication technologies, withdrawal of cars from designs and plans of new cities in Iran may be of vital importance for the elimination of economic, social, and numerous other problems.
