Aging of the skin due to exposure of UV rays is referred as photoaging. Photoaging causes dry skin, wrinkles, darker skin pigmentation, and reduced skin firmness. The effect of photoaging can be treated by compounds that have antioxidant activity. Coffee contains polyphenols (caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid) which can inhibit the formation of ROS free radicals. This makes coffee an antioxidant potential in photoaging treatment. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of coffee extract as an antioxidant in photoaging treatment. The method used in this study is Systematic Literature Review. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the Harzing's Publish or Perish application on several databases, such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Crossref using the keywords "coffee AND antioxidant AND ultraviolet AND photoaging". The article selection flow used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocol. The total search results were 1202 articles, and there were 6 research articles that matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria that had been set. The results of this study concluded that coffee extract can be used as an antioxidant in photoaging treatment. The effectiveness of coffee extract as an antioxidant in photoaging treatment was demonstrated by reducing the expression of MMPs, increasing the expression of type 1 procollage, reducing the area of wrinkles, and reducing TEWL. Coffee leaf extract decreased the expression of MMPs (MMP-1 ¯ 50%, MMP-3 ¯ 10% to 60%, MMP-9 ¯ 30% to 50%) and increased type 1 procollagen 60%. Coffee bean extract decreased the expression of MMPs (MMP-1 ¯ 5% to 60%, MMP-2 ¯ 20% to 60%, MMP-3 ¯ 30%, MMP-9 ¯ 20% to 70%, MMP-13 ¯ 30% to 45%), increased type 1 procollagen 10% to 60%, reduced wrinkle area 20% to 88%, and decreased TEWL 10% to 20%.

Methods to measure physical activity and sedentary behaviors typically quantify the amount of time devoted to these activities. Among patients with chronic diseases, these methods can provide interesting behavioral information, but generally do not capture detailed body motion and fine movement behaviors. Fine detection of motion may provide additional information about functional decline that is of clinical interest in chronic diseases. This perspective paper highlights the need for more developed and sophisticated tools to better identify and track the decomposition, structuration, and sequencing of the daily movements of humans. The primary goal is to provide a reliable and useful clinical diagnostic and predictive indicator of the stage and evolution of chronic diseases, in order to prevent related comorbidities and complications among patients.

Authors: Saiyed Salim , Joshi Renu , Khattab Safi , Dhillon Shabnam
Published: January 2022

Background

COVID-19 disrupted health care, causing a decline in the health of patients with chronic diseases and a need to reimagine diabetes care. With the advances in telehealth programs, there is a need to effectively implement programs that meet the needs of patients quickly.

Objective

The aim of this paper was to create a virtual boot camp program for patients with diabetes, in 3 months, from project conception to the enrollment of our first patients. Our goal is to provide practical strategies for rapidly launching an effective virtual program to improve diabetes care.

Methods

A multidisciplinary team of physicians, dieticians, and educators, with support from the telehealth team, created a virtual program for patients with diabetes. The program combined online diabetes data tracking with weekly telehealth visits over a 12-week period.

Results

Over 100 patients have been enrolled in the virtual diabetes boot camp. Preliminary data show an improvement of diabetes in 75% (n=75) of the patients who completed the program. Four principles were identified and developed to reflect the quick design and launch.

Conclusions

The rapid launch of a virtual diabetes program is feasible. A coordinated, team-based, systematic approach will facilitate implementation and sustained adoption across a large multispecialty ambulatory health care organization.

Authors: Smith Jessica Gomez , Alamiri Nour Sami , Biegger Grace , Frederick Christina , Halbert Jennifer P , Ingersoll Karen S
Published: January 2022

Background

Hazardous alcohol consumption, and binge drinking in particular, continues to be common among college students, posing the greatest risk for their health and safety. Despite widespread exposure to evidence-based preventive interventions among US undergraduates, only modest and temporary effects on risky drinking occur. Formative studies have demonstrated that students want a more engaging intervention tool for risky drinking that can be used just in time.

Objective

The purpose of this study is to test the appeal, relevance, and perceived utility of a draft mobile app for safer student drinking at a public university in Virginia.

Methods

Undergraduate student participants tested the draft mobile app via a web-based prototype that tailors to individual feedback with hot spots that responded to their taps to mimic app functionality. They narrated their impressions, navigation, and comments in a standardized think-aloud procedure. After each round of think-aloud interviews, researchers debriefed the investigators and developers to discuss findings and brainstorm app modifications.

Results

Minor changes to the functionality and aesthetics would improve usability of the app (eg, option for light mode in app settings). Student testers recommended tailoring the app to the needs of college students and to aspects of the local university’s drinking culture.

Conclusions

Findings from this study will be synthesized with information gained from other formative work to determine the final app features. We will test the app in a pilot randomized trial to assess app use and the impact of the app on college student drinking behavior over several months.
Online Health Information Consumers’ Learning across Health-Related Search Tasks from the Perspective of Retrieval Platform Switching (Preprint)
Authors: Chen Yijing , Lin Hanming , Zhang Jin , Zhao Yiming
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

Online health information retrieval has been a top choice for acquiring health information and knowledge by millions worldwide.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate consumers’ modification of retrieval platform switch paths across health-related search tasks and learning via such a change.

METHODS

A lab user experiment was designed to obtain data on consumers’ health information search behavior. Participants accomplished health-related information search tasks. Screen movements were recorded by EV screen-recording software. The participants underwent in-depth interviews immediately after finishing the tasks. Screen recordings and interview data were both coded and analyzed.

RESULTS

Three types of learning, including the similar transfer learning, optimizing learning, and SERP-guided learning were identified based on five change patterns of retrieval platform switch paths adopted by health information consumers from task 1 to task 2. Health information consumers’ retrieval platform switch based on information usefulness evaluation. And they accessed different amounts and types of health knowledge from different retrieval platforms.

CONCLUSIONS

The results suggest that health information consumers exhibit learning both through retrieval platform switching and the knowledge they consume during the search process. This facilitates the assessment of a certain retrieval platform’s usefulness by measuring the amount and types of health knowledge in each search result. This study also contributes to the enhancement of consumers’ health information retrieval abilities, and to helping optimize health information retrieval platforms by increasing their exposure to consumers and increasing the matching degree between knowledge types and consumer needs.

Authors: Kyabaggu Ramona , Marshall Deneice , Ebuwei Patience , Ikenyei Uche
Published: January 2022

UNSTRUCTURED

The health information management (HIM) field’s contribution to health care delivery is invaluable in a pandemic context where the need for accurate diagnoses will hasten responsive, evidence-based decision-making. The COVID-19 pandemic offers a unique opportunity to transform the practice of HIM and bring more awareness to the role that frontline workers play behind the scenes in safeguarding reliable, comprehensive, accurate, and timely health information. This transformation will support future research, utilization management, public health surveillance, and forecasting and enable key stakeholders to plan and ensure equitable health care resource allocation, especially for the most vulnerable populations. In this paper, we juxtapose critical health literacy, public policy, and HIM perspectives to understand the COVID-19 infodemic and new opportunities for HIM in infodemic management.
Participatory design of a digital platform for cardiovascular disease self-management: mutual learning through an iterative development process (Preprint)
Authors: Tighe Sarah A , Kensing Finn , Ball Kylie , Kayser Lars , Maddison Ralph
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

People living with cardiovascular disease (CVD) require flexible self-management support for health behaviour change for CVD secondary prevention. Digital health interventions can assist with these complex self-management activities. Many stakeholder groups can be involved in digital health design, including people living with CVD (users), researchers, healthcare professionals and technology developers. However, decision-making and aligning views can be difficult to negotiate within interdisciplinary teams, so the use of appropriate methodological strategies is vital.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this paper was to design and develop Salvio, and to reflect on the methodological considerations that were the driving forces of this participatory design process.

METHODS

A triangulation of research methods was used for this iterative development process. Participatory design approaches used included guided group discussions, activity-based workshops, and think-aloud tasks. Data collection was supported by self-efficacy theory to encourage user contributions. Over a 12-month period, participants met at various time points to collectively design and develop Salvio. Workshops were 2-3 hours in length and were facilitated in small groups of 4-6 participants per session. All sessions were audio-recorded, central parts of workshop conversations were transcribed, and qualitative content analysis of data was undertaken.

RESULTS

Users (n=8) worked collaboratively with researchers (n=6) and technology developers (n=7). Findings indicated that it was critical to include an interdisciplinary team with a wide range of expertise, to build a meaningful and flexible digital platform. Effective methodological strategies were essential for genuine participation and continuous conflict resolution. Our research highlighted key elements that added to the success of this co-design process including i) the creation of a collaborative space where all voices were acknowledged and considered and ii) the effective translation of information during decision-making stages.

CONCLUSIONS

Future research is needed to expand and evaluate participatory design tools and techniques which challenge the power relations between users and other stakeholders. By exploring methods that create space for mutual learning and resolving conflict through systematic decision-making, complex digital platforms for health behaviour change can be successfully developed with diverse groups. It is clear that flexible digital platforms may be valuable to users, but further research will also be required for the successful implementation and knowledge translation of these contemporary developments.

Authors: Staton Catherine , Agnihotri Deepti , Vissoci Joao Ricardo Nickenig , Boshe Judith M. , Phillips Ashley J. , Mmbaga Blandina T.
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

Self Determination Theory (SDT) conceptualizes human motivation in terms of a spectrum. However, literature is scarce on how to measure self-determination in different languages or how self-determination can influence the effectiveness of healthcare interventions.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt a psychometric questionnaire on self-determination (TSRQ) as well as SMS booster messages for a Brief Negotiational Intervention (BNI) aimed at reducing harmful alcohol use among injury patients presenting at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Moshi, Tanzania.

METHODS

A mixed-methods approach was used to evaluate the psychometric properties of the TSRQ and SMS booster messages. Likert-scale surveys were administered to expert panels to assess translation quality and adherence to theory.

RESULTS

Quantitative analyses confirmed that the Swahili translation of the TSRQ accurately reflected SDT constructs. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) revealed a two-domain model had a better fit than the original three-domain TSRQ. Expert panel surveys indicated that the SMS booster messages maintained strong connections to tenets of SDT.

CONCLUSIONS

This was the first study to conduct a cross-cultural validation of the TSRQ in Tanzania and Tanzanian Swahili and the first to implement and assess motivational constructs in SMS booster messages for a BNI to promote safe alcohol use. The TSRQ is a valid, clinically useful scale, but could be improved with more items. SMS booster messages touch on many SDT constructs, affirming their motivational utility.
Elder Abuse: A Review (Preprint)
Authors: Pradana Anung Ahadi
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

The increase in the world's older adults population may increase the risk of elder abuse in this group. Elder abuse is a global problem that is often underestimated even though it can affect social conditions in society which leads to health problems, especially in older adults group.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this article is to get a complete picture of elder abuse.

METHODS

The method used in this writing is a narrative review on several scientific sources and journal articles published in 2011-2021 from several databases such as Google Scholar, CINAHL, ProQuest, PubMed, and EBSCO.

RESULTS

In general, elder abuse is divided into 5 types which consist of physical abuse, psychological abuse, financial abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. The assumption that the community has that elder abuse is a private matter in the family often causes the incidence of elder abuse to be underreported in the community.

CONCLUSIONS

Health workers need to maximize their role in screening for risks, health education, and as facilitators of activities that can increase older adults awareness of elder abuse so that this incident is no longer underreported.

Early mobilization in enhanced recovery after surgery pathways: current evidence and recent advancements
Authors: Tazreean Reeana , Nelson Gregg , Twomey Rosie
Published: January 2022

Early mobilization is a crucial component of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways that counteract the adverse physiological consequences of surgical stress and immobilization. Early mobilization reduces the risk of postoperative complications, accelerates the recovery of functional walking capacity, positively impacts several patient-reported outcomes and reduces hospital length of stay, thereby reducing care costs. Modifiable barriers to early mobilization include a lack of education and a lack of resources. Education and clinical decision-making tools can improve compliance with ERAS mobilization recommendations and create a culture that prioritizes perioperative physical activity. Recent advances include real-time feedback of mobilization quantity using wearable technology and combining ERAS with exercise prehabilitation. ERAS guidelines should emphasize the benefits of structured postoperative mobilization.

Authors: Kan Mustafa , Kan Arzu , Yaman Memduha
Published: January 2022

This study aimed to reveal the situation of young women farmers (YWFs) who benefited from cattle farming support for three years in Kırıkkale, one of the provinces where the study was carried out. In Kırıkkale province, 397 young farmers were supported and 250 of them were YWFs. The projects with the highest grant support were cattle farming projects, and they constituted 62.22% of the projects (247 units). The rate of YWF who benefited from cattle farming support for three years was higher than young men farmers (YMF) and was determined as 59.51%. In this study, face-to-face survey questionnaires were filled in the 2020 year with 36 YWFs and 36 YMFs. As a result of the study, it was determined that YMFs have more experience in cattle breeding than YWFs. It is seen that especially YWFs are married and their families have high non-agricultural income; their husbands support especially YWFs at the application stage. 52.78% of YWFs and 69.44% of YMFs stated that they want to expand their farms with the given support. As a result of the study, it was determined that there was a significant increase in the number of animals after the given support to the young farmers, and it was revealed that the most important problem of the young farmers was that they had financial difficulties in the supply of production inputs. It is seen that this project, which has both social and economic aspects, encourages YWFs to take more part in agricultural activities. However, it is important to determine more effective criteria at the selection stage, follow up and supervise the beneficiaries of the incentives both during and after the project, and support the successful ones to grow their farms. Keywords: Young women farmers, young farmers project support, rural development, kırıkkale-Turkiye.

Use of Waste Ceramic as Aggregate in Concrete
Authors: Sharma Vidhi
Published: January 2022

Abstract: This research paper represents the experimental study on use of ceramic waste material as an aggregate in concrete. To reach the goal of sustainable development utilization of waste materials in concrete production is very much useful. The ceramic aggregate used in this study was recycled from industrial ceramic tile waste in India. From the results it can be seen that it is possible to produce a concrete with good strength by using ceramic waste as an aggregate in .It is also seen from the results that the compressive strength characteristics of ceramic aggregate concrete met the required criteria set by various international standards and codes, which shows the ability of ceramic waste to be used as a substitute to the conventional aggregates in concrete. We replaced the coarse aggregate in concrete by 100% to thewaste ceramic aggregate of size 10mm. The water cementratio taken was 0.30 for concrete production and compared it with normal aggregate concrete of M20 grade. By the decrease in water/cement ratio, high strength concrete canbe obtained. But it is found that the workability will be very low. In our project the required workability was achieved by the use of maximum water-cement ratio .To overcome this use of several admixtures like super-plasticizers and silica fume are recommended to add in the mixing so that the workability can be improved.

Solar Based Thermoelectric Refrigerator Using Peltier Module
Authors: Chavan Sanjit S.
Published: January 2022

Abstract: Refrigerators being used nowadays, utilize a compressor and coolant as a working fluid for the transmission of the heat. Thermal energy is absorbed and released as the coolant used goes through expansion and compression and its state changes from liquid to vapor and vice-versa. The solar-based thermoelectric refrigerator also known as the Peltier refrigerator offers several advantages over conventional systems. It consists of solid-state devices, with no mobile parts, which makes the system dependable, and less noisy. There is no use of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons, which have an inadequate effect on the environment. They occupy a very small room for operating, much less than the conventional systems. Temperature is controlled (< ± 7 °C) with the help of Peltier coolers. The efficiency of these coolers is less as compared to compressor-based refrigerators. Thus, they are used in specific applications where their unique advantages. However, some large-scale applications have been considered Peltier coolers are generally used in applications where small size is needed and the cooling requirement is low, for instance, cooling electronic components. The main motto of this project is to design a prototype of a thermoelectric Refrigerator using the Peltier effect to maintain a specified temperature, perform temperature control in the range of 5 °C to 25 °C, and provide refrigeration in the remote areas where the power supply is not possible.

Penetapan kawasan pertanian diperlukan untuk memudahkan dalam penumbuhan, pengembangan dan pemantapan Kawasan, termasuk pertanian jeruk siam (Citrus nobilis L. var microcarpa). Usaha agribisnis jeruk siam yang terus berkembang perlu diimbangi dengan produktivitas lahan yang tinggi sehingga penurunan produksi komoditi akibat degradasi daya dukung lahan dapat dihindari. Oleh sebab itu, perencanaan potensi lahan untuk pengembangan jeruk siam sangat diperlukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi karakteristik fisika dan kimia tanah pertanian, juga menganalisis kesesuaian lahan dan faktor pembatas untuk mendukung peningkatan produktivitas komoditas jeruk siam di kawasan budidaya. Penelitian berlokasi di Desa Mekar Sekuntum, Kecamatan Tebas, Kabupaten Sambas, Kalimantan Barat, sebagai kawasan pertanian jeruk siam. Metode survei yang digunakan adalah modifikasi sistem fisiografi dan survei grid, yaitu tempat pengamatan disesuaikan dengan kondisi lapang wilayah survei dengan jarak yang tersistematis 1 km x 1 km. Obsevasi dan analisis memperlihatkan kesesuaian lahan yang dapat dimanfaatkan di Desa Mekar Sekuntum untuk budidaya jeruk siam adalah seluas 521,97 ha dengan kelas kesesuaian lahan aktual S3-wx. Kemudian, faktor pembatas bududaya komoditas ini meliputi curah hujan berlebih, drainase agak terhambat, tekstur agak halus, kedalaman efektif dengan pembatas muka air tanah yang dangkal, pH sangat asam dan kedalaman sulfidik. Selanjutnya, perbaikan kelas lahan dapat dilakukan sehingga kesesuaian lahan potensial meningkat menjadi S2.

Doliolids often form massive blooms during upwelling conditions in
sub-tropical shelves. However, their trophic role, including their
nutritious fecal pellets, in pelagic marine food webs remains poorly
investigated. In this study, we performed three independent feeding
experiments of cultured Dolioletta gegenbauri and used qPCR analysis and
16S rRNA metabarcoding to characterize the microbial community
associated with full gut (FG) and empty (EG) doliolids, fresh (FP2Hrs)
and senescing (FP24Hrs) fecal pellets, and the surrounding natural
seawater (SW). Bacterial abundance (i.e., 16S rRNA gene copies) in EG
samples was an order of magnitude lower than in SW and three orders
lower than in FP24Hrs. Diversity analyses, based on the 16S rRNA
metabarcoding data, supported a richer microbial community in SW,
FP2Hrs, FP24Hrs, and FG samples. Furthermore, microbial community
structure was determined by sample type, with FG samples appearing more
similar to either FP2Hrs or FP24Hrs. These patterns resulted from the
higher number of shared ASVs and consequently the contribution of
similar major bacterial taxa (e.g., Rhodobacteraceae, Pirellulaceae).
These observations support the hypothesis that there are significant
ecological and trophic interactions between D. gegenbauri and the ocean
microbiome. Predicted gene function recovered many genes related to key
processes in the marine environment and supported greater similarity
between FP2Hrs, FP24Hrs, and FG samples. These observations suggest that
pelagic marine bacteria are utilized by D. gegenbauri to digest captured
prey particles, and the subsequent release of fecal pellets supports the
rapid proliferation of distinct microbial communities which likely
influence key biogeochemical processes in the ocean.

Changes in radioactive decay rates due to solar flares have attracted
increasing scientific attention in recent decades. In previous studies we
demonstrated that solar flares cause changes in the decay rate of 241Am,
222Rn, and 232Th. The change in the count rate of 54Mn due to solar flares,
as observed by scholars at Purdue University in 2006, encouraged us to
repeat the measurements. In addition, we measured gamma radiation count
rates of 57Co that undergoes electron capture, as in 54Mn decay. Our new
measurements indicate that there is a delay of about five days between the
solar flare occurrence and the decrease in 54Mn count rates. Also, we
conclude that in the 54Mn study of 2006 there was a delay between the solar
flares and the resulting count rate dips. With regard to the 57Co counting
system, we measured about a seven-day delay between the occurrence of solar
flares and the count rate dips. We conclude that 54Mn and 57Co interact with
neutrinos that originate during solar flares.
Vitamin E infused highly cross-linked cemented cups in total hip arthroplasty show good wear pattern and stabilize satisfactorily: a randomized, controlled RSA trial with 5-year follow-up

Background and purpose — Vitamin E infused highly cross-linked polyethylene (VEPE) was introduced in order to enhance oxidative resistance in highly cross-linked polyethylene cups in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We have, with a follow-up of 5 years, evaluated wear characteristics of 2 identically designed cemented cups with the only difference being the material, VEPE or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Furthermore, we report cup migration and clinical outcome.
Patients and methods — 48 patients with primary osteoarthritis were randomized to either UHMWPE or VEPE cups. Patients were followed with radiostereometric analysis (RSA) from the first postoperative day, at 3 months, 1, 2, and 5 years as well as with hip-specific outcome questionnaires.
Results — At 3 months the mean proximal head penetration for UHMWPE was 0.07 mm (95% CI 0.03–0.11) and for VEPE 0.06 mm (–0.01 to 0.13). Thereafter, there was a continuous annual wear of 0.08 mm/year, up to 0.46 mm (0.36–0.57) at 5 years, for the UHMWPE cup. The VEPE cup showed low annual wear of 0.01 mm/year, up to 0.09 mm (0.02–0.16) at 5 years. In the first 3 months the UHMWPEcup migrated cranially 0.08 mm (0.03–0.13) whereas the VEPE cup migrated 0.17 mm (0.10–0.24), Thereafter, they showed similar migration patterns with stabilization between 2 and 5 years up to 0.21 mm (0.04–0.39) and 0.24 mm (0.13–0.36) respectively. The HOOS remained good up to 5 years, and no cup was revised.
Interpretation — Compared with otherwise identical UHMWPE cups the cemented VEPE cup shows statistically significant reduction of wear up to 5 years and both cup types stabilize well with good clinical outcome.

New challenges and the state of development of COVID-19 in connection with the spread of new strains of SARS-CoV-2 have been analyzed. Experience and knowledge in working with new means of protection of different types of vaccines are studied: both classic, based on inactivated virus or its fragment, and the new generation – with vector and genetic mRNA vaccines, as well as effective antiviral drugs. Biorisks and compliance with biosafety principles have been studied. The replenishment of the base of competencies for biotechnologists and pharmacists in the context of distance learning and response to the pandemic is considered. The new data were used to introduce and deepen knowledge about the new generation of vaccines and the dangers of dual use of experimental data in the development of new components of educational programs in "Biotechnology and Bioengineering" and “Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy”.
