Authors: Persi Elisabetta , Petaccia Gabriella , Sibilla Stefano , Brufau Pilar , García-Palacin José Ignacio
Published: July 2020

Numerical models trying to faithfully represent the movement of floating bodies transport in open-channel flow require experimental data for validation. In order to provide an adequate dataset, flume experiments were carried out to analyse the transport of singular and grouped rigid bodies floating on the water surface. Both cylindrical and spherical samples were employed: they were released in a rectangular channel under steady conditions in one-dimensional (plain channel) and two-dimensional (2D) configurations using one rectangular side obstacle, one smooth side obstacle or two rectangular alternate obstacles. The outcomes of the experiments are the planar displacement and the rotation of the samples, which are related to the flow field in the different configurations. The detailed experimental analysis of the floating body motion provides information for the calibration of numerical models simulating floating bodies transport. This dataset is thus employed for the validation of the Eulerian–Lagrangian model ORSA2D_WT, highlighting its strengths and improvable aspects. Similar applications could be carried out with any 2D model which performs the simulation of discrete elements moving on the water surface.
Using the method of boundary integral equations in solving of the geological mapping problems with faults
Authors: Sidorov Andrei A.
Published: July 2020

Methods for creating digital grid models of geological surfaces based on approximation by bicubic B-splines are widely used in solving problems of mathematical geology. The variational-gridding method of geological mapping is a flexible and powerful tool that allows to use a large amount of source data for mapping, as well as a priori information about the spatial distribution of the mapped parameter. The smoothness of the basis functions does not allow the direct use of this effective method for mapping geological surfaces complicated by faults. This fact requires adaptation of the variational-gridding method to mapping with faults.
The article discusses the technology of separate construction of the fault and plicative (smooth) components of the structural map. The fault component is represented in the form of an antiplane shear field of an elastic membrane described in a stationary two-dimensional Laplace equation. The fault network is modeled by narrow contours, at the boundaries of which the values of tectonic displacements are set. The Laplace equation is solved by the method of boundary integral equations, which allows one to calculate the displacement field at an arbitrary point of the mapped region, as well as to most accurately approximate the complex geometry of faults. Modeling of the plicative component of the structural surface takes place on the basis of a variational-gridding approach with adjustment of tectonic displacements.
The approach combines the advantages of the spline approximation method and the accuracy of the semi-analytical solution for the fault component. It does not impose restrictions on the geometry of faults, and also allows for more efficient mathematical operations with structural surfaces, and their differential and integral characteristics.

Authors: Fujiwara Yumi , Miwa Mako , Nagatsu Akito , Honma Atsushi
Published: July 2020

Background:

The genus Acer contains around 200 species, with more than 400 garden varieties.
There is considerable diversity in these species and garden varieties, and each can be characterized by morphology
and chemical composition. The red appearance of Acer leaves is due to anthocyanin compounds, including
cyanidin glycosides, delphinidin glycosides, and galloylated anthocyanins. Few studies have investigated the
diversity of anthocyanin compounds in garden varieties, and no studies have examined the pharmacological
effects of these compounds.

Objective:

The purpose of this study was to identify the anthocyanins of Acer palmatum cv. ‘Chishio’, a garden
variety of A. palmatum and evaluate their antiproliferative and antioxidant activities.

Methods:

A methanol extract of fresh leaves was partitioned with ethyl acetate. The extract was purified by
column chromatography and compounds were subsequently identified by 1H and 13C NMR and ESI-HRMS.
Antiproliferative activity was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-
sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt (MTS) colorimetric assay. The antioxidant assay was evaluated by scavenging
activity using the stable radical DPPH.

Results:

The anthocyanins cyanidin-3-O-(6''-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl- β-glucopyranoside), cyanidin-3-O- β-
glucopyranoside, cyanidin-3-O-[2''-O-(galloyl)-6''-O-(rhamnosyl)-β-glucoside], and cyanidin-3-O-[2''-O-(galloyl)-
β-glucopyranoside] were isolated from A. palmatum cv. ‘Chishio’. All four anthocyanin compounds showed
antiproliferative activity against LLC and T47D cells, and galloylated anthocyanin showed antiproliferative
activity against C3H10T1/2 cells. All four anthocyanins inhibited the activity of DPPH radicals in a dosedependent
manner.

Conclusion:

Maple anthocyanins could be a new cancer therapeutic agent or prophylactic medicine.
The Use of Bio-Active Compounds of Citrus Fruits as Chemopreventive Agents and Inhibitor of Cancer Cells Viability
Authors: Tajaldini Mahboubeh , Asadi Jahanbakhsh
Published: July 2020

Common therapy of cancer, such as chemotherapy, has various side effects for the patients. In recent
studies, new therapeutic approaches in cancer treatment are adjuvant therapy, along with a reduction in side
effects of chemotherapy drugs. Treatment by herbal medicines may have some advantages over treatment with
single purified chemicals, also in terms of side effects, the use of plants in cancer treatment is a more secure
method. Citrus fruits are one of the most consumed natural products in the world due to the presence of various
metabolites and bioactive compounds, such as phenols, flavonoids and, carotenoids. Bioactive compounds of
citrus modulate signaling pathways and interact with signaling molecules such as apoptotic and cell cycle (P53,
P21, etc.) and thus have a wide range of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer
and oxidative stress. The findings discussed in this review strongly support their potential as anti-cancer agents.
Therefore, the purpose of this review was to examine the effects of active compounds in citrus as a therapy
agent in cancer treatment.

Prosocial behavior must always be possessed by every student, especially student scout members. The low prosocial behavior possessed by students of the scout members of SMAN 4 Bone, is very influential in establishing interactions in their environment. This research wants to see an increase in prosocial behavior through caring boy scout activities. The design in this study uses The One Group Pre-Post Test Design. The number of participants in this study were 22 students who were members of the scouts of SMAN 4 Bone using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a scale of prosocial behavior consisting of 40 items. The statistical test used is Wilcoxon with RStudio software version 1.2.1335. The results of this study indicate that the pretest score was M = 108.6 and the post-test score was M = 120.4. The results of testing the hypothesis obtained values ??Z (-4.06) and p (.00 < .05), so there is an increase in prosocial behavior through scout care activities. The difference in the pretest and posttest scores shows that the scout care activities are activities that can improve the prosocial behavior of students, especially for students who are members of the Boy Scouts of SMAN 4 Bone.

Published: July 2020

Background

Society is facing a global shortage of 17 million health care workers, along with increasing health care demands from a growing number of older adults. Social robots are being considered as solutions to part of this problem.

Objective

Our objective is to evaluate the quality of care perceived by patients and caregivers for an integrated care pathway in an outpatient clinic using a social robot for patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) interviews versus the currently used professional interviews.

Methods

A multicenter, two-parallel-group, nonblinded, randomized controlled trial was used to test for noninferiority of the quality of care delivered through robot-assisted care. The randomization was performed using a computer-generated table. The setting consisted of two outpatient clinics, and the study took place from July to December 2019. Of 419 patients who visited the participating outpatient clinics, 110 older patients met the criteria for recruitment. Inclusion criteria were the ability to speak and read Dutch and being assisted by a participating health care professional. Exclusion criteria were serious hearing or vision problems, serious cognitive problems, and paranoia or similar psychiatric problems. The intervention consisted of a social robot conducting a 36-item PROM. As the main outcome measure, the customized Consumer Quality Index (CQI) was used, as reported by patients and caregivers for the outpatient pathway of care.

Results

In total, 75 intermediately frail older patients were included in the study, randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups, and processed: 36 female (48%) and 39 male (52%); mean age 77.4 years (SD 7.3), range 60-91 years. There was no significant difference in the total patient CQI scores between the patients included in the robot-assisted care pathway (mean 9.27, SD 0.65, n=37) and those in the control group (mean 9.00, SD 0.70, n=38): P=.08, 95% CI –0.04 to 0.58. There was no significant difference in the total CQI scores between caregivers in the intervention group (mean 9.21, SD 0.76, n=30) and those in the control group (mean 9.09, SD 0.60, n=35): P=.47, 95% CI –0.21 to 0.46. No harm or unintended effects occurred.

Conclusions

Geriatric patients and their informal caregivers valued robot-assisted and nonrobot-assisted care pathways equally.

Authors: Li Guanjian , Tang Dongdong , Song Bing , Wang Chao , Qunshan Shen , Xu Chuan , Geng Hao , Wu Huan , He Xiaojin , Cao Yunxia
Published: July 2020

Background

In the past few months, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused extensive economic and social damage.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of COVID-19–related measures on partner relationships and sexual and reproductive health in China.

Methods

From May 1 to 5, 2020, 3500 young Chinese individuals were recruited through WeChat or Weibo to participate in a survey to obtain information on sexual and reproductive health (eg, sexual desire, frequency of sexual intercourse, sexual satisfaction, etc). The questionnaire also collected demographic data (eg, age, race, education, current financial status, sexual orientation, relationship status, etc).

Results

In total, 967 participants were included in the sexual health analysis. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures, 22% of participants (n=212) reported a decrease in sexual desire; 41% (n=396) experienced a decrease in the sexual intercourse frequency; 30% (n=291) reported an increase in the frequency of masturbation; 20% (n=192) reported a decrease in alcohol consumption before or during sexual activities, and 31% (n=298) reported a deterioration in partner relationships during the pandemic. The logistic regression analysis indicated that the following influenced partner relationships: accommodations during the pandemic (P=.046; odds ratio [OR] 0.59; 95% CI 0.30-0.86); exclusive relationship status (yes or no) (P<.001; OR 0.44; 95 % CI 0.27-0.73); sexual desire (P=.02; OR 2.01; 95% CI 1.38-2.97); and sexual satisfaction (P<.001; OR 1.92; 95% CI 1.54-2.50). COVID-19 also caused disruptions in reproductive health services such as prenatal and postnatal care, childbirth and abortion services, contraception availability, and the management of sexually transmitted infections.

Conclusions

Our results show that many young people have wide-ranging issues affecting their sexual and reproductive health due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. Strategies and guidelines are needed to safeguard the sexual and reproductive health of young people during this pandemic.
Cross-Country Comparison of Public Awareness, Rumors, and Behavioral Responses to the COVID-19 Epidemic: Infodemiology Study
Authors: Hou Zhiyuan , Du Fanxing , Zhou Xinyu , Jiang Hao , Martin Sam , Larson Heidi , Lin Leesa
Published: July 2020

Background

Understanding public behavioral responses to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic and the accompanying infodemic is crucial to controlling the epidemic.

Objective

The aim of this study was to assess real-time public awareness and behavioral responses to the COVID-19 epidemic across 12 selected countries.

Methods

Internet surveillance was used to collect real-time data from the general public to assess public awareness and rumors (China: Baidu; worldwide: Google Trends) and behavior responses (China: Ali Index; worldwide: Google Shopping). These indices measured the daily number of searches or purchases and were compared with the numbers of daily COVID-19 cases. The trend comparisons across selected countries were observed from December 1, 2019 (prepandemic baseline) to April 11, 2020 (at least one month after the governments of selected countries took actions for the pandemic).

Results

We identified missed windows of opportunity for early epidemic control in 12 countries, when public awareness was very low despite the emerging epidemic. China's epidemic and the declaration of a public health emergency of international concern did not prompt a worldwide public reaction to adopt health-protective measures; instead, most countries and regions only responded to the epidemic after their own case counts increased. Rumors and misinformation led to a surge of sales in herbal remedies in China and antimalarial drugs worldwide, and timely clarification of rumors mitigated the rush to purchase unproven remedies.

Conclusions

Our comparative study highlights the urgent need for international coordination to promote mutual learning about epidemic characteristics and effective control measures as well as to trigger early and timely responses in individual countries. Early release of official guidelines and timely clarification of rumors led by governments are necessary to guide the public to take rational action.
Family History Information Extraction With Neural Attention and an Enhanced Relation-Side Scheme: Algorithm Development and Validation (Preprint)
Authors: Dai Hong-Jie , Lee You-Qian , Nekkantti Chandini , Jonnagaddala Jitendra
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Identifying and extracting family history information (FHI) from clinical reports are significant for recognizing disease susceptibility. However, FHI is usually described in a narrative manner within patients’ electronic health records, which requires the application of natural language processing technologies to automatically extract such information to provide more comprehensive patient-centered information to physicians.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to overcome the 2 main challenges observed in previous research focusing on FHI extraction. One is the requirement to develop postprocessing rules to infer the member and side information of family mentions. The other is to efficiently utilize intrasentence and intersentence information to assist FHI extraction.

METHODS

We formulated the task as a sequential labeling problem and propose an enhanced relation-side scheme that encodes the required family member properties to not only eliminate the need for postprocessing rules but also relieve the insufficient training instance issues. Moreover, an attention-based neural network structure was proposed to exploit cross-sentence information to identify FHI and its attributes requiring cross-sentence inference.

RESULTS

The dataset released by the 2019 n2c2/OHNLP family history extraction task was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods. We started by comparing the performance of the traditional neural sequence models with the ordinary scheme and enhanced scheme. Next, we studied the effectiveness of the proposed attention-enhanced neural networks by comparing their performance with that of the traditional networks. It was observed that, with the enhanced scheme, the recall of the neural network can be improved, leading to an increase in the F score of 0.024. The proposed neural attention mechanism enhanced both the recall and precision and resulted in an improved F score of 0.807, which was ranked fourth in the shared task.

CONCLUSIONS

We presented an attention-based neural network along with an enhanced tag scheme that enables the neural network model to learn and interpret the implicit relationship and side information of the recognized family members across sentences without relying on heuristic rules.
A Low-Cost, Ear-Contactless Electronic Stethoscope Powered by Raspberry Pi for Auscultation of Patients With COVID-19: Prototype Development and Feasibility Study (Preprint)
Authors: Yang Chuan , Zhang Wei , Pang Zhixuan , Zhang Jing , Zou Deling , Zhang Xinzhong , Guo Sicong , Wan Jiye , Wang Ke , Pang Wenyue
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Chest examination by auscultation is essential in patients with COVID-19, especially those with poor respiratory conditions, such as severe pneumonia and respiratory dysfunction, and intensive cases who are intubated and whose breathing is assisted with a ventilator. However, proper auscultation of these patients is difficult when medical workers wear personal protective equipment and when it is necessary to minimize contact with patients.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study was to design and develop a low-cost electronic stethoscope enabling ear-contactless auscultation and digital storage of data for further analysis. The clinical feasibility of our device was assessed in comparison to a standard electronic stethoscope.

METHODS

We developed a prototype of the ear-contactless electronic stethoscope, called Auscul Pi, powered by Raspberry Pi and Python. Our device enables real-time capture of auscultation sounds with a microspeaker instead of an earpiece, and it can store data files for later analysis. We assessed the feasibility of using this stethoscope by detecting abnormal heart and respiratory sounds from 8 patients with heart failure or structural heart diseases and from 2 healthy volunteers and by comparing the results with those from a 3M Littmann electronic stethoscope.

RESULTS

We were able to conveniently operate Auscul Pi and precisely record the patients’ auscultation sounds. Auscul Pi showed similar real-time recording and playback performance to the Littmann stethoscope. The phonocardiograms of data obtained with the two stethoscopes were consistent and could be aligned with the cardiac cycles of the corresponding electrocardiograms. Pearson correlation analysis of amplitude data from the two types of phonocardiograms showed that Auscul Pi was correlated with the Littmann stethoscope with coefficients of 0.3245-0.5570 for healthy participants (P<.001) and of 0.3449-0.5138 among 4 patients (P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Auscul Pi can be used for auscultation in clinical practice by applying real-time ear-contactless playback followed by quantitative analysis. Auscul Pi may allow accurate auscultation when medical workers are wearing protective suits and have difficulties in examining patients with COVID-19.

Divine, Philosophical, and Existential dimension of Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poetry
Authors: Ganvir Anil Jyadeo
Published: July 2020

The research paper aims to exhibit and explore pious, philosophical, and existential aspects of Gerard Manley Hopkins’ selected poems which remain an invaluable contribution to the shape and development of the Christian thought both for theologians and academic critics. The author of the article emphasizes that Hopkins’s challenging, highly ambitious and complex works, filled with spiritual anxiety, dualism and struggle between reason and sensuality, harmony and violence, happiness, and suffering, were mostly reject able by the Victorian audience and critics. Hopkins’s “model of the world” (Barańczak 1981), his depiction of tragic human existence and the presentation of two contradictory facets of God meet more the expectations of contemporary readers and are more appreciable by today’s thinkers, philosophers, and critics.
Religious Philosophy of Bhagat Singh
Authors: Kumar Dr. Dinesh
Published: July 2020

The article focuses on how Bhagat Singh as a great freedom fighter in the entire history of India is a well-recognised national hero by every common citizen and intellectual. It also explores how he was a revolutionary not only on the political front but also on social and religious fronts. His ideas are deeply rooted in a deep sense of social and political understanding in many ways. Bhagat Singh as a social-political thinker always tried to be rational and construct strong base against any irrational and illogical elements present in the society. He has proclaimed an atheist but his views on the religious front are remarkable. He never advocated people to follow any religion blindly and stay on illusion. He condemned everything that seemed damaging and destructive for the Indian society. He was more concerned about the progress of people irrespective of any identity and created a universal platform for everyone at the national level. He also presented his views over the Gods and their different roles for humanity in his writings and thoughts. While talking about the divine figure and religion his prime concern had been to benefit people without any disparity and difference. Bhagat Singh throughout his life fought against the sufferings that affected human lives. At the same time, he questioned the authority of those who were responsible to carry the religious elements by criticising the caste system and religious practices of India. He questioned the highest Varna of society by arguing that if he commits any sin who would be responsible and who is authorised to punish him. In other words, he until the end of time stood against any nexus that harms humanity and human lives in any form. His prime objective in life had been to inject revolutionary ideas among the people and impart a heart that opened its door for everyone without any reservations. In the end, he concluded himself as an atheist on the basis his observations of the religious elements.
Red Queen in the Repository
Authors: Philipson Joakim
Published: July 2020

One of the grand curation challenges is to secure metadata quality in the ever-changing environment of metadata standards and file formats. As the Red Queen tells Alice in Through the Looking-Glass: â€œNow, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.â€ That is, there is some â€œrunningâ€ needed to keep metadata records in a research data repository fit for long-term use and put in place. One of the main tools of adaptation and keeping pace with the evolution of new standards, formats â€“ and versions of standards in this ever-changing environment are validation schemas. Validation schemas are mainly seen as methods of checking data quality and fitness for use, but are also important for long-term preservation. We might like to think that our present (meta)data standards and formats are made for eternity, but in reality we know that standards evolve, formats change (some even become obsolete with time), and so do our needs for storage, searching and future dissemination for re-use. Eventually, we come to a point where transformation of our archival records and migration to other formats will be necessary. This could also mean that even if the AIPs, the Archival Information Packages stay the same in storage, the DIPs, the Dissemination Information Packages that we want to extract from the archive are subject to change of format. Further, in order for archival information packages to be self-sustainable, as required in the OAIS model, it is important to take interdependencies between individual files in the information packages into account. This should be done already by the time of ingest and validation of the SIPs, the Submission Information Packages, and along the line at different points of necessary transformation/migration (from SIP to AIP, from AIP to DIP etc.), in order to counter obsolescence.

This paper investigates possible validation errors and missing elements in metadata records from three general purpose, multidisciplinary research data repositories â€“ Figshare, Harvardâ€™s Dataverse and Zenodo, and explores the potential effects of these errors on future transformation to AIPs and migration to other formats within a digital archive.

Development of a Web-Based GIS Learning Module for Community Asset Mapping to Enhance Service Learning in Social Work Education
Authors: Luo Xue , Park Wansoo
Published: July 2020

In recent years, service learning – a pedagogical approach that integrates learning through service in the community – has gained increasing popularity in higher education as a means to enhance student learning and civic engagement. Service learning is relevant to social work education because of its emphasis on social justice and the amelioration of social problems and field education through practicum sites. The benefits of service learning, however, are dependent on successful integration of this pedagogical approach into the classroom. By developing a web-based learning module, this project aims to explore the possibility of using community asset mapping and geographic information systems (GIS) as an integrated technology tool to promote service learning in social work education. An assessment of this module was conducted by a student survey. The overall positive feedback on the module indicates its contribution to social work study as well as its potential applicability to larger contexts.

Musik memiliki banyak manfaat bagi kesehatan manusia dan dapat memberikan kekuatan mentalitas yang baik bagi pendengarnya. Orang yang mendengarkan musik, akan memiliki mental yang kuat, emosi yang tenang, hidup lebih nyaman dan santai serta menjadikan hidup mereka lebih percaya diri dengan mengembangnya intelektual serta pengetahuan bagi mereka. Musik juga dapat mempengaruhi penurunan depresi pada mahasiswa. Hal ini dibuktikan oleh Lerik & Prawitasari (2005) yang meneliti sekelompok mahasiswa yang mengalami depresi. Hasilnya, musik sebagai media terapi mampu menurunkan tingkat depresi setelah pelaksanaan satu bulan. Musik yang dipakai pun dalammenurunkan gangguan neurotik, salah satunya kecemasan, dapat bermacam-macam. Musik yang dapat memberikan ketenangan dan kedamaian adalah musik dengan tempo yang lebih lambat (Rachmawati, 2005).

Gender issues are still a topic that is often discussed in society. Gender is related to the social construction of the division of activities between women and men. Along with the development of times there are many assumptions that say that women still accept injustice and are still discriminated against so that many are demanding gender equality for women. In the Qur'an many verses describe justice and equality between women and men in their responsibilities and carrying out their role, but there are still many people who do not understand the contents of the verses in question. The public or broad audience needs to understand gender construction in this Islamic perspective to be able to realize the ideal gender construction in life, especially in the context of Islamic society.

Przydatność ziarna jarej pszenicy zwyczajnej, twardej i orkiszowej do produkcji pieczywa w zależności od intensywności technologii produkcji

Published: July 2020

Przedmiotem opracowania były wyniki uzyskane ze ścisłych doświadczeń polowych prowadzonych w latach 2012–2013 w Katedrze Technologii Produkcji Roślinnej i Towaro- znawstwa, na terenie Gospodarstwa Doświadczalnego Felin (51°22'N, 22°64'E) należącego do Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczego w Lublinie. W badaniach uwzględniono odmiany 3 gatunków pszenicy jarej: Triticum aestivum ssp. vulgare ‘Parabola’, Triticum durum  ‘SMH87’ i Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta ‘Blauer Samtiger’. Oceniono przydatność ziarna do produkcji pieczywa przy różnej intensywności technologii produkcji. Odmiana ‘Blauer Samtiger’ wyróżniała się najlepszymi wskaźnikami jakościowymi, co skutkowało najwyższą oceną punktową i zakwalifikowaniem pieczywa do I klasy jakości. Wraz ze wzrostem intensywności technologii produkcji wzrastała zawartość białka, ilość glutenu i objętość pieczywa. Badane gatunki pszenicy odmiennie reagowały na intensywność technologii produkcji. Polepszała się jakość pieczywa uzyskanego z ziarna pszenicy zwyczajnej, a pogarszała – z pszenicy orkiszowej i twardej, co wskazuje na jej przydatność do uprawy w warunkach bardziej ekstensywnych, np. w gospodarstwach ekologicznych – do produkcji zdrowej żywności, zwłaszcza w przypadku pszenicy orkiszowej.

OBJECTIVE

To determine effects of PCV on blood glucose (BG) concentration measurements obtained with a human portable blood glucometer (HPBG) and a veterinary portable blood glucometer (VPBG) on canine (cVPBG) and feline (fVPBG) settings (test methods) when used in rabbits and to develop correction formulas to mitigate effects of PCV on such measurements.

SAMPLE

48 resuspended blood samples with known PVCs (range, 0% [plasma] to 92% [plasma and packed RBCs]) from 6 healthy research rabbits (experimental sample set) and 252 historic measurements of BG concentration and PCV in 84 client-owned rabbits evaluated at a veterinary hospital (validation data set).

PROCEDURES

Duplicate measurements of BG concentration with each test method and of PCV were obtained for each sample in the experimental sample set, and the mean results for each variable for each test method and sample were compared with results from a clinical laboratory analyzer (reference method) used to determine the true BG concentration for each sample. Mean ± SD differences in measurements between the reference and test methods were calculated. Linear regression and modified Clarke error grid analysis were used to develop correction formulas for the test methods given known PCVs, and these formulas were evaluated on the validation data set with linear regression and a modified Clarke error grid.

RESULTS

Blood glucose concentrations were falsely low for cVPBG and fVPBG used on samples with PCV < 31% and were falsely high for all test methods used on samples with PCV > 43%. Compared with original measurements, formula-corrected measurements overall had better agreement with reference method measurements for the experimental sample set; however, only the formula-corrected HPBG measurements had improved agreement for the validation data set.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Findings indicated that, in rabbits, HPBG measurements had improved accuracy with the use of the correction formula HPBG measurement of BG concentration + ([0.75 × PCV] − 15); however, the correction formulas did not improve the accuracy of VPBG measurements, and we believe that neither the cVPBG nor fVPBG should be used in rabbits.
