Published: August 2024

Decision-making in healthcare often relies on narrative guidelines; however, these instruments are poorly accessible for supporting clinical decision-making. This study explores the application of rule-based decision logic in algorithmic modeling, emphasizing its great potential in clinical decision support and research. Integrating rule-based algorithms with existing information systems and real-world data poses a serious challenge. Integrating decision algorithms with information standards increases their effectiveness across various applications. This study outlines a method for constructing clinical decision trees (CDTs), highlighting their transparency and interpretability, using information standards as a design principle. We use the digitization of the Dutch breast cancer guideline through CDTs as a case study to exemplify their versatility and practical significance. The process step ‘primary treatment’ has been successfully translated from the narrative guidelines format to the anticipated ted computational format.

Authors: Hirayama Saki , Mori Yukiko , Liu Chang , Yamamoto Goshiro , Kuroda Tomohiro
Published: August 2024

Despite the perceived advantages of health information exchange (HIE), their utilization has been stagnant, and a detailed survey at the regional level is needed to address this issue. We conducted interviews with operators of HIEs in operation in Japan as a pilot study and found that subjective descriptions by healthcare professionals contained in clinical notes are frequently referenced in HIEs. Currently, however, only a limited number of medical institutions in Japan disclose subjective descriptions. In this study, we aim to clarify the factors that influence whether or not to disclose subjective descriptions through an interview survey. Although the final results are yet to be determined, it is anticipated that the non-disclosing medical institutions will show negative aspects of disclosure, such as privacy concerns and misuse of information. Addressing the concerns raised in this study is important for the future dissemination of HIE.

Published: August 2024

With the rapid adoption of telemedicine since the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become imperative to teach and evaluate health professional trainees on skills important to conducting effective virtual visits. We developed a simulation-based workshop with (1) readings, (2) a lecture covering online communication and the virtual head and neck exam, (3) a telemedicine simulation with a standardized patient observed by faculty, (4) personalized feedback from faculty, and (5) a group debrief session. We created an evaluation rubric based on three of 20 Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) telemedicine competencies to assess learner performance during the simulations. Students (medical and physician assistant students; n = 50), and internal medicine residents (n = 20) completed this workshop in 2023. At least 90% of trainees across the two groups were rated as approaching entrustment or entrustable in each competency. This workshop is an example of a scalable telemedicine curriculum that can be used to teach and evaluate learners in the virtual physical exam across the training continuum.

Authors: Saint-Dizier Chloé , Betremieux Julian , Chazard Emmanuel , Bubrovszky Maxime , Lamer Antoine
Published: August 2024

Seasonality patterns are reported for various psychiatric disorders. Concerning adolescents, there is an increased frequency of general emergency department visits for mental health disorders observed between March and May, as well as in October and November. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the French health insurance medico-administrative database. We extracted psychotropic drug deliveries occurring between 2015 and 2019 for patients aged between 12 and 18 years old. Each drug delivery was classified as occurring during a school period (Sc), the summer holidays (SumH) or other shorter holidays periods (ShH). We compared the number of distinct patients, as well as the proportion of new consumers, according to week status. Anxiolytics and hypnotics were more frequently dispensed during the school periods and short breaks than during the summer holidays. Conversely, antidepressants were more commonly dispensed during the short breaks rather than school periods and summer holidays. The stressful effects induced by schooling appear to be addressed in the first line by anxiolytics and hypnotics, while antidepressants are more frequently introduced during school holidays.

Authors: Reichenpfader Daniel , Denecke Kerstin
Published: August 2024

Background: The rapid technical progress in the domain of clinical Natural Language Processing and information extraction (IE) has resulted in challenges concerning the comparability and replicability of studies. Aim: This paper proposes a reporting guideline to standardize the description of methodologies and outcomes for studies involving IE from clinical texts. Methods: The guideline is developed based on the experiences gained from data extraction for a previously conducted scoping review on IE from free-text radiology reports including 34 studies. Results: The guideline comprises the five top-level categories information model, architecture, data, annotation, and outcomes. In total, we define 28 aspects to be reported on in IE studies related to these categories. Conclusions: The proposed guideline is expected to set a standard for reporting in studies describing IE from clinical text and promote uniformity across the research field. Expected future technological advancements may make regular updates of the guideline necessary. In future research, we plan to develop a taxonomy that clearly defines corresponding value sets as well as integrating both this guideline and the taxonomy by following a consensus-based methodology.

Authors: Rauma Ilkka , Niiranen Marja , Kuusisto Hanna
Published: August 2024

The use of video appointments (VAs) increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigated the evolution of VA utilisation in Finland using data from two surveys conducted in 2021 (40 responses) and 2023 (30 responses). Our primary aim was to identify patient groups best suited for VAs. Respondents were either neurologists or neurologists-in-training. Our findings suggest that patients with epilepsy or headaches are most suitable for VAs. VAs were primarily used for follow-up visits during both survey periods, but their application for first visits decreased from 68.20% in 2021 to 27.80% in 2023. Healthcare professionals’ concerns about data protection have diminished over time, but there is still need for enhanced training in the use of remote applications. Future research should focus on validating the cost-effectiveness, data security and timeliness of VAs.
THE PRACTICE OF UDDER ENGINEERING IN LIVESTOCK TRADE WITHIN URBAN MEDAN COMMUNITIES: PERSPECTIVE OF SHARIA ECONOMIC LAW
Authors: Ulum Harahap Haddad
Published: August 2024

Animal trafficking in Medan City often involves illegal practices, including udder engineering. This research aims to analyze this practice within the framework of Sharia economic law, particularly through the lens of relevant Hadiths, and to provide actionable recommendations based on the findings. A qualitative approach, utilizing literature analysis, was employed to gather data from Hadiths, fatwas of Islamic scholars, and related Sharia economic law literature. The analysis was conducted both descriptively and analytically to explore the Sharia implications of udder engineering. The results indicate that udder engineering is a form of fraud explicitly prohibited in Islam. A Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah forbids the mixing of milk from camels or goats to deceive buyers, allowing them to return the animal within three days if deceived and receive compensation. Sharia economic law emphasizes honesty, fairness, and transparency in trade. Udder engineering violates these principles by deceiving buyers, constituting a form of tadlis (fraud) that is prohibited in Islamic law. The study concludes that udder engineering not only undermines market trust and integrity but also directly contravenes key principles of Sharia economic law, particularly those related to honesty and fairness in transactions.
Possibilism in Technology: A Spanish-Speaking Response to Technological Determinism
Authors: Monterroza-Rios Alvaro
Published: August 2024

This manuscript introduces “possibilism” as an alternative framework to technological determinism, drawing from the works of Spanish-speaking philosophers of technology. Unlike deterministic views, which see technology as an autonomous force shaping society with inevitable outcomes, possibilism conceptualizes technology as a collective, intentional practice that opens up new possibilities for human action and societal development. The study critiques both optimistic and pessimistic forms of technological determinism, emphasizing the role of human agency in shaping technological trajectories. By exploring the intersection of physical, imagined, pragmatic, and legitimate possibilities, this article argues that technology is not merely a tool driven by external forces but a dynamic process that actively transforms human realities. The manuscript situates this discussion within the broader context of Spanish-speaking philosophical traditions, particularly the works of Fernando Broncano, and highlights the significance of this perspective for contemporary debates on technology and society.

Authors: Le Thanh Thao , Pham Trut Thuy
Published: August 2024

This qualitative study investigates the impact of streamers’ swearing on the morality of Vietnamese teenagers, a topic of increasing importance in the era of digital streaming and online entertainment. The research was conducted through semi-structured interviews with nine Vietnamese teenagers, providing in-depth insights into their perceptions and attitudes towards the language used by streamers and its influence on their behavior. The thematic analysis of the interview data revealed four key themes: normalization of swearing in digital spaces, delineation between online and offline behaviors, influence of streamers as role models, and critical reflection and selective adoption. The study found that while swearing by streamers was normalized in digital contexts, participants also demonstrated a clear distinction between acceptable behaviors in online and offline environments. Streamers were often viewed as influential role models, affecting the language and attitudes of the adolescents. However, participants also engaged in critical reflection, selectively adopting behaviors that aligned with their personal and cultural values. These findings contribute to the understanding of digital media’s impact on adolescent development, particularly in non-Western contexts. The study underscores the complex interplay between cultural norms, digital media consumption, and moral development, highlighting the need for comprehensive digital literacy and ethical content creation in the digital age.

The Great Gatsby (2013 version), a movie directed by Baz Luhrmann, basically follows Fitzgerald's novel of the same name in terms of plot structure and has been adapted to be more conducive to audio-visual experience. This movie is like an impressionist painting. Although every second of every frame on the screen is clear and bright, the overall blurring of the aesthetic sense has long been dense, and it is commendable that this work is a more successful literary adaptation.

Authors: Jin Lian , Wang Kexin
Published: August 2024

Chu Teh-chun is an outstanding abstract artist of the twentieth century and the first member of the Académie française of Chinese descent since the establishment of the academy. His abstract paintings are full of brilliant colors and beautiful melodies, and are filled with a poetic aura, and his works show a kind of oriental imagery that transcends the objective world, which is regarded as a "perfect fusion of the subtlety of oriental art with the richness of western painting". He has been described as "a perfect blend of the subtlety of oriental art and the richness of western painting". He travelled to Paris in 1955, when Western modernist art was in full bloom, and through continuous exploration, his painting style changed from figurative to abstract. Later on, in the process of exploring abstract painting, he incorporated the cultural spirit of the East and created abstract paintings with oriental connotations. His abstract paintings use the compositional forms of Western modern painting and the colour techniques of oil painting, blended with the charm of traditional Chinese painting, to create a painting space with changing colors, powerful brush strokes, and a sense of rhythm and light. His abstract paintings are the result of a high degree of fusion of Chinese and Western artistic spirit.
The analysis of the relationship between Theravada Buddhism and the cultivation of Chinese national community consciousness
Authors: XIN Zhiyuan
Published: August 2024

Theravada Buddhism, also known as Southern Buddhism or Hinayana Buddhism, significantly influences the Dai ethnic group in China, primarily in the border regions of Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Pu'er, Lincang, and Baoshan. Although the precise timing of Theravada Buddhism's introduction to Dai society is debated, it is generally accepted that by the 5th century AD, it had reached Xishuangbanna. The 6th century marked its difficult establishment period, while the 7th and 8th centuries saw its consolidation and development among the Dai. Over its historical evolution, Theravada Buddhism has shown remarkable adaptability, integrating deeply with Dai traditional culture and becoming central to their social and cultural life. Theravada Buddhism permeates various aspects of the Dai people's daily lives, profoundly shaping their values and behaviors. For the Dai in border regions, it serves as a moral foundation and reinforces societal cohesion, contributing to the stability of Dai society. This religion affects not only the Dai but also other ethnic groups in the region, such as the Blang, De'ang, Achang, Wa, and Yi, who share similar religious and cultural practices. Understanding the relationship between Theravada Buddhism and the cultivation of Chinese national community consciousness is crucial for maintaining social stability and promoting ethnic unity in these border areas.
