How Oncologists Perceive the Availability and Quality of Information Generated From Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs)
Authors: Shea Michael , Audibert Céline , Stewart Mark , Gentile Brittany , Merino Diana , Hong Agnes , Lassiter Laura , Caze Alexis , Leff Jonathan , Allen Jeff , Sigal Ellen
Published: March 2019

Background:

Despite increased incorporation of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures into clinical trials, information generated from PROs remains largely absent from drug labeling and electronic health records, giving rise to concerns that such information is not adequately informing clinical practice.

Objective:

To evaluate oncologists’ perceptions concerning the availability and quality of information generated from PRO measures. Additionally, to identify whether an association exists between perceptions of availability and attitudes concerning quality.

Method:

An online, 11-item questionnaire was developed to capture clinician perspectives on the availability and use of PRO data to inform practice. The survey also asked respondents to rate information on the basis of 4 quality metrics: “usefulness,” “interpretability,” “accessibility,” and “scientific rigor.”

Results:

Responses were received from 298 of 1301 invitations sent (22.9% response rate). Perceptions regarding the availability of PRO information differed widely among respondents and did not appear to be linked to practice setting. Ratings of PRO quality were generally consistent, with average ratings for the 4 quality metrics between “satisfactory” and “good.” A relationship was observed between ratings of PRO data quality and perceptions of the availability.

Conclusion:

Oncologists’ attitudes toward the quality of information generated from PRO measures are favorable but not enthusiastic. These attitudes may improve as the availability of PRO data increases, given the association we observed between oncologists’ ratings of the quality of PRO information and their perceptions of its availability.
Men’s Overpersistence and the Gender Gap in Science and Mathematics
Authors: Penner Andrew M. , Willer Robb
Published: March 2019

Large and long-standing gaps exist in the gender composition of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Abundant research has sought to explain these gaps, typically focusing on women, though these gaps result from the decisions of men as well as women. Here we study gender differences in STEM persistence with a focus on men’s choices, finding that men persist in these domains even where opting out could lead to greater material payoffs. Study 1 employed a novel experimental paradigm for measuring “overpersistence,” finding that undergraduate men chose mathematics questions over verbal questions at higher rates than undergraduate women on a test in which mathematics questions were substantially more difficult than verbal questions and participants were paid for correct answers. Study 2 analyzed data from a nationally representative longitudinal survey, finding that men are more likely than women to retake college STEM courses after failing them and that men’s STEM retaking after failure is as likely to lead to lower later life earnings as to higher earnings. Finally, in Study 3, we used a survey-embedded experiment to examine the intervening factors driving men’s overpersistence in a diverse sample of adults. Integrating prior theoretical work, we find evidence for a model in which cultural stereotypes of male superiority in mathematics lead men both to be more confident in and identify more with the mathematics domain, factors that in turn lead men to pursue math to a greater extent than women.
Inability to Belch and Associated Symptoms Due to Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction: Diagnosis and Treatment
Authors: Bastian Robert W. , Smithson Melissa L.
Published: March 2019

Objective

To propose and test the validity of a new syndrome called retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (R‐CPD) that explains inability to belch and the associated symptoms of loud gurgling noises, chest and abdominal pain/distention, and excessive flatulence, as well as to report the results of botulinum toxin (BT) injection into the cricopharyngeus muscle (CPM) for both diagnosis and treatment of R‐CPD.

Study Design

To develop a case series of consecutive patients matched to the syndromic features of R‐CPD, inject the CPM with BT as a concurrent diagnostic and therapeutic maneuver, and assess results.

Setting

Bastian Voice Institute (Downers Grove, Illinois).

Subjects and Methods

Consecutive (unselected) patients presenting with inability to belch and associated symptoms were matched to the proposed syndrome of R‐CPD, treated with BT, and followed for effect on symptoms over time.

Results

All 51 patients achieved ability to belch and relief of associated symptoms, and the majority seem to have “retrained” the ability to belch on a potentially “permanent” basis.

Conclusion

R‐CPD can be diagnosed syndromically, using a symptom complex; clinical diagnosis is validated by relief of symptoms after BT injection; and BT into the CPM is an efficacious treatment, whose benefit appears to often last longer than the pharmacologic duration of action of BT.
Impact of fatty acid binding protein 5‐deficiency on COPD exacerbations and cigarette smoke‐induced inflammatory response to bacterial infection

Published: March 2019

Background

Although cigarette smoking (CS) is by far the most important risk factor of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), repeated and sustained infections are clearly linked to disease pathogenesis and are responsible for acute inflammatory flares (i.e. COPD exacerbations). We have previously identified Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 (FABP5) as an important anti‐inflammatory protein in primary airway epithelial cells.

Results

In this study we found decreased FABP5 mRNA and protein levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of COPD patients, especially among those who reported episodes of COPD exacerbations. Using wildtype (WT) and FABP5−/− mice, we examined the effects of FABP5 on CS and infection‐induced inflammatory responses. Similarly to what we saw in airway epithelial cells, infection increased FABP5 expression while CS decreased FABP5 expression in mouse lung tissues. CS‐exposed and P. aeruginosa‐infected FABP5−/− mice had significantly increased inflammation as shown by increased lung histopathological score, cell infiltration and inflammatory cytokine levels. Restoration of FABP5 in alveolar macrophages using a lentiviral approach attenuated the CS‐ and bacteria‐induced pulmonary inflammation. And finally, while P. aeruginosa infection increased PPARγ activity, CS or FABP5 knockdown greatly reduced PPARγ activity.

Conclusions

These findings support a model in which CS‐induced FABP5 inhibition contributes to increased inflammation in COPD exacerbations. It is interesting to speculate that the increased inflammation is a result of decreased PPARγ activity.
Unsupervised machine learning applied to scanning precession electron diffraction data
Authors: Martineau Ben H. , Johnstone Duncan N. , van Helvoort Antonius T. J. , Midgley Paul A. , Eggeman Alexander S.
Published: March 2019

Scanning precession electron diffraction involves the acquisition of a two-dimensional precession electron diffraction pattern at every probe position in a two-dimensional scan. The data typically comprise many more diffraction patterns than the number of distinct microstructural volume elements (e.g. crystals) in the region sampled. A dimensionality reduction, ideally to one representative diffraction pattern per distinct element, may then be sought. Further, some diffraction patterns will contain contributions from multiple crystals sampled along the beam path, which may be unmixed by harnessing this oversampling. Here, we report on the application of unsupervised machine learning methods to achieve both dimensionality reduction and signal unmixing. Potential artefacts are discussed and precession electron diffraction is demonstrated to improve results by reducing the impact of bending and dynamical diffraction so that the data better approximate the case in which each crystal yields a given diffraction pattern.
A heart-breaking disease: how to prevent lungworm infection
Authors: Elsheikha Hany
Published: March 2019

Since first detected in the British Isles, in a Greyhound in Ireland in 1968, the lungworm Angiostrongylus vasorum has spread to become a prevalent parasitic disease, and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, in dogs. Faced with the increasing threat posed by canine lungworm, parasitologists are tracing the geographic spread of infections; and some clinicians remain uncertain about the optimal frequency of dosing for preventive therapy. For this reason, control of canine lungworms has been an increasingly important focus of the veterinary profession, with significant progress being made on a number of fronts, particularly the diagnosis and treatment of lungworm disease. One notable success has been the development of potent anthelmintic drugs to control this disease. Despite this progress, infection due to A. vasorum remains a formidable clinical problem, and may continue to do so for many years to come. What has been learned over the past decade, is that control of lungworms is too complex to be handled by a single approach; and any attempt to do so may be unsuccessful. In this article, the author argues that the implementation of integrated parasite control strategies is crucial, in order to mitigate the risks caused by lungworms, reduce the transmission of infection and improve treatment outcomes.
Leishmaniosis in dogs and cats
Authors: Elsheikha Hany , Wright Ian
Published: March 2019

Leishmania are vector-borne protozoan parasites. Infection with these parasites can result in a range of clinical diseases, dependent upon the infecting species. Leishmania infantum is the main species causing leishmaniosis in dogs and cats in Europe, as well as visceral and cutaneous forms of leishmaniosis in humans. Dogs are the main reservoir, but cats and other potential vertebrate reservoirs have been also reported. Sand flies (Phlebotomus spp.) are the main vectors, but non-vectorial transmission (e.g. venereal, transplacental) is possible. Lacking a gold-standard diagnostic test, diagnosis of leishmaniosis is achieved mainly based on clinical signs, skin histopathology, serological detection of specific immune responses against Leishmania spp., and molecular detection of the parasite DNA in tissues using polymerase chain reaction. Correct and early diagnosis is essential for timely institution of treatment and for minimising the transmission of Leishmania from infected animals to vectors. Meglumine antimoniate and allopurinol are the most widely used anti-leishmanial drugs, although miltefosine is emerging as a useful alternative to meglumine, especially in the renally-compromised patient. Vaccination to prevent disease is also available, but only for dogs. The advent of effective insecticide-impregnated collars and topical (‘spot-on’) formulations, and insights into the appropriate management of leishmaniosis, lends a hopeful outlook for the future. This article discusses biology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of leishmaniosis in dogs and cats, and explains the importance of connecting clinical and research communities in a ‘One Health’ approach for effective surveillance and control of this disease.

Foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado com cinco tratamentos: rega diária (RD); rega a cada cinco dias (R5D); rega a cada dez dias (R10D); rega a cada quinze dias (R15D) e rega a cada vinte dias (R20D), com cinco repetições por tratamento. O experimento teve duração de 60 dias e as variáveis avaliadas foram altura (H); diâmetro (DC); número de folhas (NF); peso da matéria seca das folhas (PMSF); caule (PMSC); raiz (PMSR); alocação da biomassa das folhas (ABF), do caule (ABC) e da raiz (ABR) e o índice de qualidade de Dickson (IQD). O estresse hídrico afetou o DC, NF, PMSPA, PMSC e PMSR, contudo não houve diferenças significativas para a H e ABR. O condicionamento hídrico por rega a cada 5 dias é o mais recomendado. No entanto, o ciclo de rega, até 20 dias, pode ser utilizado como técnica de rustificação para a produção de mudas de Moringa oleifera.
First and last and always: streetwork as a methodology for radical community social work practice
Authors: Hill Darren John , Laredo Erika
Published: March 2019

This conceptual article aims to introduce and explore the practice of social streetwork. Streetwork is located as a historical professional discourse that has contemporary relevance for a rapidly changing and globalised world. As a practice discourse, streetwork occurs across a range of community-based helping professions, including social work, youth work and community work. The social work profession is increasingly becoming clinical and situated within statutory organisations, placing a greater emphasis on outcome-based targets, rather than building relationships. As a result of austerity, traditional youth workers are becoming invisible, often moving into statutory education settings and complex needs welfare agencies. This article will argue that for the broad helping professions to remain relevant, we must engage with vulnerable and complex populations where we find them – at the street level – promoting a direct practice of social justice at a micro-level. Within this discussion, we will define and explore a streetwork approach by examining the methodologies and objectives of streetwork practice. We will argue that by keeping to its origins of using informal and non-formal education as its primary tools, streetwork as an intervention works to combat poverty, social exclusion and discrimination. The article articulates a foundation for practice based on the promotion of low-threshold interventions with complex and hard-to-reach social populations. One of the key themes we will explore is how to locate streetwork practice as a form of social support, accompaniment and tool for promoting social inclusion and social democracy.
Technicist education: paving the way for the rise of the social work robots?
Authors: Morley Christine , Ablett Philip , Stenhouse Kate
Published: March 2019

This article seeks to explicate one form of technical rationality (ie the technological development of robotics) in social work education and practice. As advances in robotics evolve, questions are raised about the role of technicist education in reducing social work practice to a set of tasks that are repeatable, formulaic and linear (ie tasks that robots are capable of performing). We conduct a critical synthesis of the literature to explore how these parallel processes potentially create a seamless transition for social robots to replace the human social work workforce. Our analysis suggests that social workers need to reclaim a broader understanding of social work education and practice if we intend to retain human social work practitioners into the future. We argue that this is vital because critical social work practitioners are more capable than robots of meeting the espoused social justice values of social work.

Dos ejemplares recuperados del Cancionero de Zaragoza (92VC) con sorpresa inserta: unas desconocidas Coplas del Quicumque vult y dos nuevos fragmentos de La Pasión trovada y de la Vita Christi
Authors: Fernández Valladares Mercedes
Published: March 2019

La aparición en ámbito bibliofílico de un ejemplar del Cancionero de Zaragoza de 1492 (92VC) impreso por Pablo Hurus ha permitido llevar a cabo su análisis bibliográfico, estableciendo la historia de su transmisión, desde las primeras noticias que lo situaban en la biblioteca de los jesuitas de Sevilla y después en manos de Jovellanos. A la vez, se ha localizado el paradero actual de otro ejemplar que perteneció a Salvá y Heredia, quedando de este modo definitivamente probada la existencia de esa edición. En manos de algún librero del siglo XIX, el ejemplar que había sido de Jovellanos sufrió un despiece y reencuadernación, proceso en el que además le fueron interpolados dos fragmentos impresos, procedentes de sendas ediciones hasta ahora desconocidas pero salidas también del taller zaragozano de los hermanos Pablo y Juan Hurus, presumiblemente con anterioridad al cancionero 92VC (no después de c.1491). Uno de esos cancioneros fragmentarios contiene el que consideramos testimonio impreso más antiguo de la Pasión trovada de Diego de San Pedro, junto con unas «Preguntas a Nuestra Señora», también primer testimonio impreso de este texto de Íñigo de Mendoza, así como unas desconocidas «Coplas del Quicumque vult fechas so determinación y correpción de la madre santa iglesia», de autor ignoto. El otro fragmento contiene una porción muy amplia (360 estrofas) de la Vita Christi, en edición igualmente desconocida.

Published: March 2019

Aim: This study aimed to estimate the enumeration of total bacteria and coliform on teat skin from dairy cows and evaluate the efficacy of the natural rice gel containing 5% v/v lactic acid (NGL) against Escherichia coli standard and field strains isolated from bovine teat skin. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 bacterial teat skin samples (25 cows) were collected from dairy cows in smallholder farm. The cows were housed in freestall barns. The colonization of total bacteria and E. coli on teat skin was measured by 3M Petrifilm method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of lactic acid were evaluated for reference strain of E. coli ATCC 25922 and two field strains of E. coli. The natural teat sanitizer was formulated using 5% NGL with modified rice gel. In vitro antiseptic efficacy of 5% NGL was determined by time-kill kinetic assay. E. coli morphology after exposure with 5% NGL was examined under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: The total bacteria and coliform counts from bovine teat skin were 2.11×104 and 1.54×101 colony-forming units/ml, respectively. The MIC and MBC of lactic acid on the tested bacteria were 0.5% v/v. The natural teat dip was successfully prepared with minimum change in consistency after 1 year of storage at 4°C. The reduction rate of 5% NGL on E. coli ATCC 25922 and field strain showed 32.77% and 27.58%, respectively. An appearance under SEM of non-viable E. coli after being incubated with 5% NGL clearly showed atypical form and rough surface cell membrane. Conclusion: The rice gel containing 5% v/v lactic acid is a promising preparation as a natural teat antiseptic for reducing bacteria on teat skin. It was shown to be effective against E. coli causing bovine mastitis in dairy cows.

Published: March 2019

The strength of soil is known to be dependent on water content but the relationship is strongly affected by the type of soil. Accurate moisture content â soil strength models will provide forest managers with the improved ability to reduce soil disturbances and increase annual forest machine utilization rates. The aim of this study was to examine soil strength and how it is connected to the physical properties of fine-grained forest soils; and develop models that could be applied in practical forestry to make predictions on rutting induced by forest machines. Field studies were conducted on two separate forests in Southern Finland. The data consisted of parallel measurements of dry soil bulk density (BD), volumetric water content (VWC) and penetration resistance (PR). The model performance was logical, and the results were in harmony with earlier findings. The accuracy of the models created was tested with independent data. The models may be regarded rather trustworthy, since no significant bias was found. Mean absolute error of roughly 20% was found which may be regarded as acceptable taken into account the character of the penetrometer tool. The models can be linked with mobility models predicting either risks of rutting, compaction or rolling resistance.

The purpose of the  research is to analyze the implementation and identify the inhibiting factors of PNPM MP, in Mangunharjo residence Tembalang District Semarang. The approach used is descriptive qualitative approach. The implementation of PNPM MP in Mangunharjo was started in 2007. Direct People Assistance (Bantuan Langsung Masyarakat/BLM) received are used to alleviate poverty through three areas: economy, social and environment. Self-Assistance Groups (Kelompok Swadaya Masyarakat/KSM) has easy access to obtain additional capital to run a business. Poor villagers are asissted through house rehabilitation program and education package. The negative Impacts  also come up that there is  social envy especially for those who do not receive the assistance. The inhibitting factors of the implementation of PNPM MP in Mangunharjo Residence include the internal factors: The limited number of the operating unit members, Some BKM members are not active in some activities, The KSM members do not have sufficient skill to arrange the proposal. While the external factors include: the distrust of villagers toward the credibility of KSMmembers to implement physical projects, and the envy shown by those who do not get  BKM. To increase the awareness of the BKM and KSM members are through trainings, assistingKSM to prepare the project proposals and eventhe reports regularly and continuously. There should be a socialization to the villagers about the programs managed by BKM through regular meetings of RT / RW or the engagement of the community leaders to take a part routinely in the annual meeting forum of  the villagers (Rembug Warga Tahunan/RWT).
