Interprofessional Telerounds in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: A Quality Improvement Project
Authors: Shawley Emily , Whiteman Kimberly
Published: October 2023

Background

Family-centered rounds are standard practice in pediatrics. However, some parents of children in the pediatric intensive care unit cannot attend rounds.

Local Problem

A 36-bed academic, tertiary care pediatric hospital implemented telerounds during the COVID-19 pandemic. After visiting restrictions were lifted, nurses were interested in continuing telerounds for families who could not attend daily rounds. The aim of this evidence-based quality improvement project was to develop a standardized, family-centered telerounding process that satisfied parents, nurses, and physicians.

Methods

Nurses offered telerounds to pediatric intensive care unit family members who could not attend rounds. Families received a unique link to telerounds using a secure connection. Nurses completed electronic satisfaction surveys after each session; physicians completed surveys at the end of their weeklong pediatric intensive care unit rotation; families received surveys at the end of the pediatric intensive care unit stay.

Results

Twenty families qualified for telerounds; 16 families completed sessions. Enrolled patients and families participated in 93 telerounding events. Nine family members (56%) returned satisfaction surveys revealing an overall satisfaction level of 9.9 out of 10. Thirty nurses reported an overall satisfaction level of 8.8 out of 10. Eleven physicians reported a mean satisfaction level of 8.8 out of 10.

Conclusions

This project demonstrated that a standardized process of secure telerounding was feasible in a pediatric intensive care unit. Families, nurses, and physicians reported satisfaction with the process. Telerounds can be implemented without considerable inconvenience to staff and enable continuation of family-centered care when parents are absent from the hospital.
Use of Telestroke to Improve Access to Care for Rural Patients With Stroke Symptoms
Authors: Hendrickx Lori , Kuznia Chelsey , Maneval Lindsey
Published: October 2023

Background

Cerebrovascular accident, or stroke, is a common cause of death or disability. Timely diagnosis and intervention are critical for improving survival rates and reducing the long-term effects of stroke. For patients with ischemic stroke, thrombolytic drugs and endovascular intervention are time-sensitive treatment options.

Local Problem

Patients living in rural areas often do not have access to rapid consultation with specialized neurologic teams for diagnosis and treatment of stroke. The use of telemedicine in the form of a telestroke consultation can improve timely diagnosis and treatment for rural patients exhibiting stroke symptoms.

Methods

A telestroke program was implemented in the upper Midwest. A team of 4 interventional neurologists provided telestroke consultation to a comprehensive stroke center and 5 other acute stroke–ready rural hospitals.

Results

A tiered stroke alert algorithm and telestroke workflow chart were developed to help health care professionals at rural sites determine eligibility for telestroke consultation. A teleneurologist connected with the originating site, and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale could be completed remotely with assistance from the originating site. Telestroke has increased the percentage of patients receiving thrombolytics in less than 60 minutes, and door-to-needle time has decreased.

Conclusion

Rural patients with stroke symptoms may experience a delay in care or stroke diagnosis due to distance to specialized neurologic services. Telestroke consultation is a successful method for timely diagnosis of stroke and recommendation for treatment.
Implementation of a Pressure Injury Prevention Protocol for Intensive Care Unit Patients Undergoing Prone Positioning
Authors: McFee Kelly , Murdoch Julie M. , Spitzer Mandy
Published: October 2023

Background

Pressure injuries remain the most common hospital-acquired condition, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 are at especially high risk for pressure injuries, including those related to medical devices, because of their lower tissue tolerance, prolonged intubation, and common treatment with prone positioning.

Local Problem

The COVID-19 pandemic brought an increased incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injury. A 350-bed hospital in St. Joseph, Missouri, recognized that an intervention to lower the risk of pressure injury for these patients was needed.

Methods

A quality improvement project was initiated to reduce the incidence of pressure injuries in patients with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit. A protocol was implemented for patients with COVID-19 undergoing prone positioning that included the use of dressing packets. The incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injury during the 1-year periods before and after implementation of the protocol were determined.

Results

Before implementation of the new protocol, 18 of 155 intensive care unit patients with COVID-19 who were placed in a prone position (11.6%) experienced a hospital-acquired pressure or medical device–related injury, compared with 3 of 111 patients (2.7%) after protocol implementation, a reduction of 76.7% (P = .008).

Conclusions

The risk of hospital-acquired pressure injuries can be reduced with additional education and the use of appropriate products and protocols. All patients who undergo prone positioning, regardless of diagnosis, may benefit from implementation of a pressure injury prevention protocol that includes the use of dressing packets.

Authors: Nasreen Farah , Khalid Atif , Siddiqui Sobia Manaal
Published: October 2023

Airway management in infants can become more challenging in the presence of congenital anomalies such as hydrocephalus. In this case, we present the extreme airway challenges faced during the intubation of a 7-month-old child with massive hydrocephalus presenting for ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery. The C-MAC video laryngoscope (VL) turned out to be the ultimate saviour after the failure of direct laryngoscopy and Airtraq. Paediatric airway management can sometimes be a nightmare for the anaesthesiologist in such scenarios. Early use of rescue devices such as the C-MAC VL can help tide over the crisis.
Meritocrazia e competenza
Authors: Scelsi Silvia
Published: October 2023

Art 3 della Costituzione italiana: “Tutti i cittadini hanno pari dignità sociale e sono eguali davanti alla legge, senza distinzione di sesso, di razza, di lingua, di religione, di opinioni politiche, di condizioni personali e sociali”.1
La "meritocrazia" è un concetto, un principio che si riferisce a un sistema sociale o organizzativo in cui le posizioni, le opportunità e le ricompense vengono distribuite in base al merito individuale, cioè alle capacità, alle competenze e al lavoro svolto da ciascun individuo. In una società meritocratica, il successo, l'avanzamento e l'accesso alle risorse sono determinati dalle abilità e dai risultati ottenuti, piuttosto che da fattori come l'origine sociale, il background familiare, il genere o altre caratteristiche personali non legate al merito; tuttavia, l’applicazione pratica della meritocrazia può essere complessa e soggetta a interpretazioni diverse. L'idea alla base della meritocrazia è che dando alle persone l'opportunità di progredire in base alle loro capacità, si crei un sistema più giusto ed efficiente, in cui le persone che contribuiscono di più o dimostrano un maggiore impegno ricevono ricompense maggiori e più opportunità di coloro che non lo fanno. Tuttavia, la realizzazione pratica della meritocrazia può essere complessa e contestata, poiché possono emergere sfide come l'accesso ineguale all'istruzione, le disuguaglianze strutturali e i pregiudizi impliciti che possono influenzare la valutazione oggettiva del merito.

Authors: Rao Ajay Singh , Bhor Shreya , Shah Unnati
Published: October 2023

Aim:

The aim of this in vitro study was to comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of XP-endo Finisher and passive ultrasonic (PU) activation on dentinal tubule penetration of irrigation solution: A confocal laser scanning microscopy study.

Materials and Methods:

Forty extracted single-rooted human mandibular canines and premolars were instrumented up to size 40/06 taper and randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 20) based on the activation technique of final irrigation solution into Group A: PU activation and Group B: XP-endo Finisher activation. In each group, 5 ml of 5% NaOCl labeled with fluorescent dye was used during activation as the final irrigation solution. Specimens were sectioned at 2, 5, and 8 mm from the apex and examined under confocal microscope to calculate the dentinal tubule penetration area. Data were analyzed using Tukey’s post hoc tests (P = 0.05).

Results:

PU activation exhibited a significantly higher penetration area than XP-endo Finisher activation (P < 0.05). In addition, at coronal, middle, and apical thirds, all regions of PU activation had significantly higher penetration than XP-endo Finisher activation. Statistically significant differences were found between each root canal third (coronal > middle > apical) (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

The PU activation is more effective than XP-endo Finisher in terms of irrigant penetration into the dentinal tubules.

Published: October 2023

Aim:

The aim of the study is to evaluate the chelating effect of chitosan as intracanal lubricant and an irrigant on smear layer removal.

Objective:

The objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of smear layer removal with chitosan gel and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) gel as an intracanal lubricant and to evaluate the cumulative outcome of chitosan gel and final rinse on smear layer removal compared to EDTA gel and solution.

Materials and Methods:

Forty single-rooted extracted human premolars were decoronated to a standard length. Cleaning and shaping were carried out using Mtwo rotary instrument and 3% sodium hypochlorite irrigant. Prepared specimens were divided into four equal groups (n = 10). In first two groups, 17% EDTA gel lubricant was used during instrumentation and final rinsing was carried out with 2 ml saline in one group and 2 ml 17% EDTA solution for 1 min in the other. In other two groups, 0.2% chitosan gel was used as lubricant, and final rinsing was carried out with 2 ml saline in one group and 2 ml 0.2% chitosan solution for 3 min in the other group. All the samples were then longitudinally sectioned which were then evaluated under scanning electron microscope for smear layer removal in three levels, i.e., cervical, middle, and apical third.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Comparison of mean smear layer scores in the coronal middle and apical thirds of the root canals between four study groups was done using Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Mann–Whitney Post hoc analysis for intergroup comparison with P < 0.05 as statistically significant.

Results:

In coronal, middle, and apical third sections of root canal, EDTA combination and chitosan combination groups demonstrated statistically significant smear layer removal compared to EDTA gel alone and chitosan gel alone groups. Among the gel groups, chitosan gel has shown a significant smear layer removal ability than EDTA gel.

Conclusions:

0.2% chitosan gel lubricant and final rinse solution combination showed comparable smear layer removal as that of 17% EDTA gel lubricant and final rinse. While 0.2% chitosan gel lubricant with saline final rinse showed similar smear layer removal ability like 17% EDTA gel with saline final rinse in coronal and middle third, it performed better than EDTA gel in the crucial apical one-third of root canal.

Real-time eye blink detection using general cameras: a facial landmarks approach
Authors: Youwei Lu
Published: October 2023

Eyes are essential in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) as they provide valuable insights into a person's thoughts and intentions. However, current eye movement analysis methods require specialized equipment or high-quality videos, making them less accessible and usable. This paper proposes a real-time eye blink detection algorithm that uses standard cameras, making it widely applicable and convenient. The approach achieves accurate and efficient eye blink detection by leveraging the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) algorithm and facial landmarks technique. This paper developed a Python application and conducted tests using a laptop webcam to validate the performance and practicality of the algorithm across various settings. The algorithm's effectiveness depends on carefully tuning parameters such as threshold and frame rate. The results demonstrate the algorithm's potential in real-time eye blink detection, with potential applications in drowsiness detection during driving, prevention of Computer Vision Syndrome, and assistance for individuals with disabilities. By enabling eye blink detection using commonly available cameras, the algorithm paves the way for integrating eye movement analysis into everyday devices and systems, enhancing user experience and enabling more natural interactions. Further refinement and optimization of this approach hold promise for a wide range of applications in HCI, healthcare, and beyond, opening up new possibilities for research and innovation.

Published: October 2023

В статті проведений докладний аналіз існуючих теплових схем когенераційних енергетичних установок (КЕУ) з регенерацією тепла вихідних газів. Метою аналізу було встановлення найбільш ефективної з точки зору утилізації тепла схеми регенерації і подальше її дослідження. В якості показників ефективності схеми регенерації, насамперед, приймалися: коефіцієнт використання теплоти палива (ККД установки) і величини витрат палива на одиницю вироблення теплової енергії (тепловий ККД) і електричної енергії (електричний ККД). Для цього були проведені розрахунки енергетичних показників когенераційної енергетичної установки при різних варіантах схем регенерації тепла відхідних газів. Результати теплових та економічних розрахунків показали, що для когенераційних установок, в яких використовується в якості первинного двигуна газова турбіна, в першу чергу тепло вихідних газів слід використовувати для підігріву повітря після компресору, а вже потім – на потреби теплопостачання. Таким чином обрана схема дозволяє знизити витрату палива на 12,5 % і підвищити ККД установки до 91,22 %. Для обраної схеми витрата палива має найменше значення, а ККД – найбільше з усіх розглянутих схем. Також в роботі було проведено вдосконалення математичного опису динамічних властивостей теплових двигунів подібних енергетичних установок з метою отримання можливості урахування змін теплотворної здатності палива. В диференційне рівняння, яке описує динаміку камери згоряння теплового двигуна КЕУ введена похідна за теплотворною здатністю палива. Це дозволило провести аналіз впливу змінення теплотворної здатності палива на основні параметри енергетичної установки. Запропонована математична модель когенераційної енергетичної установки, що враховує зміну якості палива справедлива в області малих відхилень. Дана математична модель послугує основою для подальшого проведення синтезу комплексної системи автоматичного управління КЕУ.
Performance analysis of GO gel composite coating on electro-spark deposited surfaces
Authors: Xin Du , Tarelnyk Viacheslav
Published: October 2023

The uneven surface roughness observed in the electro-spark deposition (ESD) process can be attributed to the unsteady pulsed electrical energy. ESD coating frequently needs to be processed in order to achieve higher surface quality. The surface of the coating undergoes processing techniques such as grinding, ultrasonic processing, and rolling. Because some coatings are hard and the surface hardness is uneven, surface processing is complicated. When a grinder is used for processing, the coating thickness is not easy to control. The product performance is uneven. When non-metallic coatings are used, it can enhance the surface quality of the coating. This study used a composite coating of sodium silicate and lubricating particles. Three coating schemes were studied. Graphene oxide (GO) gel and sodium silicate composite coating have the best overall performance. It can effectively improve the surface quality of the coating, with less roughness and better wear resistance. Graphene oxide gel is used to solve the problem of lubricating particle agglomeration. When it was actually applied to the SKH51 layer, the surface roughness Ra was reduced from 1.086µm to 0.113µm. It is effective in reducing friction and wear.

Published: October 2023

Наведено характеристику захворювання на фенілкетонурію та описано дієтотерапію. Наведено рекомендовані норми споживання фенілаланіну для дітей. Описано проблематику харчування хворих на фенілкетонурію. Досліджено існуючий асортимент найменувань низькобілкового печива закордонного виробництва та відмічено відсутність такого виробництва на території України. Аналіз сировинного складу печива показав, що традиційні компоненти печива, такі як яйце та пшеничне борошно, не можуть бути використані в низькобілковому печиві, яке задовольняє вимоги до фенілаланіну та природного білка. Наведено етапи розробки низькобілкового печива та представлено декілька варіантів розроблених рецептур. Перша рецептура виготовлена на основі крохмалю картопляного, пшеничного борошна, без додавання структуроутворювачів. Вміст фенілаланіну (ФА) в 100 г виробу становить 48,2 мг. Друга рецептура виготовлена на основі крохмалю картопляного, пшеничного борошна з застосуванням каміді гуара та каміді ксантана. Вміст ФА в 100 г виробу становить 38,4 мг. Третя рецептура виготовлена з застосуванням крохмалю кукурудзяного, без борошна, каміді гуара та каміді ксантана. Вміст ФА в 100 г виробу становить 8,8 мг. Досліджено органолептичні показники (смак, колір, запах, форма, стан поверхні, вид в розломі, консистенція) та фізико-хімічні показники (масова частка вологи, лужність, намокаємість, вміст фенілаланіну) розроблених виробів. Оцінка органолептичних показників показала, що нове печиво має відмінні, але відносно високі показники якості, але поступається традиційному печиву за консистенцією. Фізико-хімічні показники також відповідають вимогам, з вологістю як основною відмінністю.

Published: October 2023

Виходячи з принципу, що будь-який об'єкт-система завжди є частиною ще обширнішого об'єкту і виконує в ньому певну функцію, людська мова розглядається як невід'ємна складова частина соціальних систем, які є, водночас, різновидом більш загального класу самокерованих систем. Функціональним вузлом, в якому виникає феномен мови, в таких системах виступає їх комунікативна підсистема (комунікативна ситуація), тобто ділянка, на якій здійснюється передача інформації від одного члена самокерованої системи до іншого. Постійне взаємне інформування - істотна умова їх успішної кооперації, узгодження зусиль в спільному виконанні певної інтегральної функції самокерованої системи в межах більш загальної природної системи. Мова завжди спрямована на інформаційні потоки в комунікативних підсистемах самокерованих систем, тому залежить безпосередньо від характеристик цих потоків. В ході розвитку комунікативної системи суспільства відбулося збільшення обсягів інформації, що викликало утворення спеціалізованих інформаційних сфер, які дозволяють справитися з великим об'ємом і різноманітністю інформації, що поступають із середовища. Це веде до формування різних функціональних різновидів мови, стилів, що є формою адаптації мовленнєвої поведінки до різних умов.

Особливості інноваційного розвитку організаційно-економічного середовища корпоративних інтеграційних об’єднань
Authors: Оу Веньхань
Published: October 2023

дослідження присвячено узагальненню сучасного стану інноваційного розвитку організаційно-економічного середовища корпоративних інтеграційних об'єднань (КІО), виявленню його особливостей та визначенню факторів, що впливають на цей процес. Зокрема було уточнено визначння сутності категорії «корпоративна інтеграція», що відображає стійку взаємодію між корпораціями на кожному етапі виробничого процесу – від розробки до реалізації продукції. Також виділені кілька критеріїв виокремлення форм корпоративної інтеграції і відповідно до них самі форми корпоративної інтеграції. Нами було сформоване авторське розуміння сутнгсті поняття «корпоративне інтеграційне об'єднання», як групи взаємопов'язаних інтегрованих виробничих корпорацій та компаній, які спільно займаються бізнесом під керівництвом єдиного центру. Наукове дослідження виявило, що корпоративні інтеграційні об'єднання (КІО) можна класифікувати за двома основними характеристиками. По-перше, це стосується того, як учасники об'єднань залежать один від одного. По-друге, це включає розгляд функціональної спеціалізації в рамках мережевої топології. Були виділені і охарактеризовані основні характеристики сутності корпоративних інтеграційних об'єднань у сучасному організаційно-економічному середовищі. Виявлені характеристики і особливості вказали на ефективність даної форми господарювання у сучасних ринкових умовах. Дано визначення організаційно-економічного середовища корпоративних інтеграційних об'єднань, як сукупності економічних, правових, соціальних і політичних умов, в яких здійснюються процеси об'єднання та інтеграції компаній або організацій. Це середовище включає різні фактори і особливості, які впливають на розгортання та успішність корпоративних інтеграцій. Також уточнений зміст організаційно-економічного середовища КІО з виокремленням його важливих елементів, факторів впливу і особливостей. Обгрунтована необхідність і важливість врахування визначених елементів, факторів і особливостей організаційно-економічного середовища корпоративних інтеграційних об'єднань з метою досягнення спільних цілей та успішності об'єднання.

The Use Of Mediation In Maritime And Fisheries Dispute Resolution
Authors: Gayo Sabela
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe sea is one of the boundaries between countries and is one of the sources of income and life of a nation, Marine Management provides benefits that are so great that all parties orcountries want to explore and exploit these resources, including the high seas, so thatsometimes it causes disputes between partiesincluding between countries in carrying outits management. Disputes that occur can be resolved nationally or internationally,depending on the parties to the dispute in it. Internationally, the settlement of fisheriesdisputes that occur at sea can be resolved peacefully between the two parties, but if apeaceful agreement between the parties cannot be reached , then the procedure forresolving fisheries disputes at sea can be done by mediation methods, namely cooperativemaritime diplomacy, persuasive maritime diplomacy and coercive maritime diplomacy.Keywords: Alternative Dispute Resolution, Marine, Fisheries
A Novel Approach to Predict Students Performance through Machine Learning
Authors: S Sukanya  , Dr D William Albert
Published: October 2023

Forecasting student success can enable teachers to prevent students from dropping out before final examinations, identify those who need additional help and boost institution ranking and prestige. Machine learning techniques in educational data mining aim to develop a model for discovering meaningful hidden patterns and exploring useful information from educational settings. The key traditional characteristics of students (demographic, academic background and behavioral features) are the main essential factors that can represent the training dataset for supervised machine learning algorithms. The real goal is to have an overview of the systems of artificial intelligence that were used to predict Academic learning. This research also focuses on how to classify the most relevant attributes in student data by using prediction algorithm. Using educational machine learning methods, we could potentially improve the performance and progress of students more efficiently in an efficient manner. Students, educator and academic institutions could benefit and also have an impact. In this paper, two predictive models have been designed namely students’ assessments grades and final students’ performance. The models can be used to detect the factors that influence students’ learning achievement in MOOCs. The result shows that both models gain feasible and accurate results. The lowest RSME gain by RF acquire a value of 8.131 for students assessments grades model while GBM yields the highest accuracy in final students’ performance, an average value of 0.086 was achieved.

Development of a Road Protection Value Model as an Indicator for National Road Safety Performance Assessment from the Perspective of Drivers of Four or More Wheeled Motorized Vehicles
Authors: Idris Muhammad
Published: October 2023

This paper introduces the model of Star Rating Scores (SRS) or Road Protector Scores (RPS) for Indonesian National Roads from the perspective of motorized vehicle drivers with four or more wheels, which are explored from the characteristics of traffic accidents along Indonesia's national roads. This SRS model takes into account 2 different main parameters and 4 main parameters that are the same as the main parameters of the SRS International Road Assessment Program (iRAP) and a total of 51 road attributes. The two main parameters that differ from the SRS iRAP model are the parameters for front-rear crashes and fore-side crashes when turning around. While the 4 parameters are the same as front-side collision accidents at property access, single accidents leaving the road body, front-to-front collision accidents, and accidents at intersections. In the early stages, the National Road SRS model was designed using 51 road attributes. After analysis using the Importance and Performance Analysis (IPA) method, 43 road attributes were successfully formulated for the SRS National Road model, consisting of 30 likelihood factor attributes, 10 severity factor attributes, 2 external traffic influence factor attributes, and 1 factor attribute operational speed. In addition, it is proven that the SRS National Road model is significantly different from the SRS iRAP model. The three main parameters of the National Road SRS model, namely the front-rear hit accident parameter, the front-side hit accident parameter when turning around, and the front-side hit accident parameter at property access are significantly different from the parameters of the SRS iRAP model.

Preeclampsia is an obstetric disease that is a health problem worldwide, including in Indonesia. Several studies have shown that changes in the maternal spiral arteries are thought to lead to preeclampsia. Preeclampsia in this decade has been associated with changes in angiogenesis regulatory proteins originating from the placenta and circulating in the mother's blood circulation, namely soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF). The author was interested in examining the ratio of sFlt-1/PIGF and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women. This study used a case control analytic observational design. The research sample was selected by consecutive sampling of 20 cases and 20 controls. Univariate analysis was used to describe patient characteristics descriptively, and bivariate analysis was used to determine the relationship between the 2 variables There is no significant difference in the characteristics of the research subjects. Low PIGF levels are a risk factor for preeclampsia (OR 4.33; p 0.0302) with a cut-off value of 24.5. High sFlt-1 levels are a risk factor for preeclampsia (OR 4.33; p 0.027) with a cut-off value of 869.5. A high sFlt-1/PIGF ratio is a risk factor for preeclampsia (OR 4.33 p 0.030) with a cut-off value of 38. High LDL levels are a risk factor for preeclampsia (OR 6.0; p 0.013) with a cut-off value of 150 ,2. Low placental growth factor (PIGF), high levels of soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1), and high levels of LDL are risk factors of preeclampsia in pregnant women.
