BACKGROUND

In the palliative care setting, infection control measures implemented due to COVID-19 have become barriers to end-of-life care discussions (eg, discharge planning and withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments) between patients, their families, and multidisciplinary medical teams. Strict restrictions in terms of visiting hours and the number of visitors have made it difficult to arrange in-person family conferences. Phone-based telehealth consultations may be a solution, but the lack of nonverbal cues may diminish the clinician-patient relationship. In this context, video-based, smartphone-enabled family conferences have become important.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to establish a smartphone-enabled telehealth model for palliative care family conferences. Our model integrates principles from the concept of shared decision making (SDM) and the value, acknowledge, listen, understand, and elicit (VALUE) approach.

METHODS

Family conferences comprised three phases designed according to telehealth implementation guidelines—the previsit, during-visit, and postvisit phases. We incorporated the following SDM elements into the model: “team talk,” “option talk,” and “decision talk.” The model has been implemented at a national cancer treatment center in Taiwan since February 2020.

RESULTS

From February to April 2020, 14 telehealth family conferences in the palliative care unit were analyzed. The patients’ mean age was 73 (SD 10.1) years; 6 out of 14 patients (43%) were female and 12 (86%) were married. The primary caregiver joining the conference virtually comprised mostly of spouses and children (n=10, 71%). The majority of participants were terminally ill patients with cancer (n=13, 93%), with the exception of 1 patient with stroke. Consensus on care goals related to discharge planning and withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments was reached in 93% (n=13) of cases during the family conferences. In total, 5 families rated the family conferences as good or very good (36%), whereas 9 were neutral (64%).

CONCLUSIONS

Smartphone-enabled telehealth for palliative care family conferences with SDM and VALUE integration demonstrated high satisfaction for families. In most cases, it was effective in reaching consensus on care decisions. The model may be applied to other countries to promote quality in end-of-life care in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Automatic Structuring of Ontology Terms Based on Lexical Granularity and Machine Learning: Algorithm Development and Validation (Preprint)
Authors: Luo Lingyun , Feng Jingtao , Yu Huijun , Wang Jiaolong
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

As the manual creation and maintenance of biomedical ontologies are labor-intensive, automatic aids are desirable in the lifecycle of ontology development.

OBJECTIVE

Provided with a set of concept names in the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA), we propose an innovative method for automatically generating the taxonomy and the partonomy structures among them, respectively.

METHODS

Our approach comprises 2 main tasks: The first task is predicting the direct relation between 2 given concept names by utilizing word embedding methods and training 2 machine learning models, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Bidirectional Long Short-term Memory Networks (Bi-LSTM). The second task is the introduction of an original granularity-based method to identify the semantic structures among a group of given concept names by leveraging these trained models.

RESULTS

Results show that both CNN and Bi-LSTM perform well on the first task, with F1 measures above 0.91. For the second task, our approach achieves an average F1 measure of 0.79 on 100 case studies in the FMA using Bi-LSTM, which outperforms the primitive pairwise-based method.

CONCLUSIONS

We have investigated an automatic way of predicting a hierarchical relationship between 2 concept names; based on this, we have further invented a methodology to structure a group of concept names automatically. This study is an initial investigation that will shed light on further work on the automatic creation and enrichment of biomedical ontologies.

Authors: Shen Tony S , Chen Aaron Z , Bovonratwet Patawut , Shen Carol L , Su Edwin P
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

The internet is a well-known source of information that patients use to better inform their opinions and to guide their conversations with physicians during clinic visits. The novelty of the recent COVID-19 outbreak has led patients to turn more frequently to the internet to gather more information and to alleviate their concerns about the virus.

OBJECTIVE

The aims of the study were to (1) determine the most commonly searched phrases related to COVID-19 in the United States and (2) identify the sources of information for these web searches.

METHODS

Search terms related to COVID-19 were entered into Google. Questions and websites from Google web search were extracted to a database using customized software. Each question was categorized into one of 6 topics: clinical signs and symptoms, treatment, transmission, cleaning methods, activity modification, and policy. Additionally, the websites were categorized according to source: World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), non-CDC government, academic, news, and other media.

RESULTS

In total, 200 questions and websites were extracted. The most common question topic was transmission (n=63, 31.5%), followed by clinical signs and symptoms (n=54, 27.0%) and activity modification (n=31, 15.5%). Notably, the clinical signs and symptoms category captured questions about myths associated with the disease, such as whether consuming alcohol stops the coronavirus. The most common websites provided were maintained by the CDC, the WHO, and academic medical organizations. Collectively, these three sources accounted for 84.0% (n=168) of the websites in our sample.

CONCLUSIONS

In the United States, the most commonly searched topics related to COVID-19 were transmission, clinical signs and symptoms, and activity modification. Reassuringly, a sizable majority of internet sources provided were from major health organizations or from academic medical institutions.
SARS-CoV-2: The Second Wave in Europe (Preprint)
Authors: Fokas Athanassios S , Kastis George A
Published: July 2020

UNSTRUCTURED

Although the SARS-CoV-2 virus has already undergone several mutations, the impact of these mutations on its infectivity and virulence remains controversial. In this viewpoint, we present arguments suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 mutants responsible for the second wave have less virulence but much higher infectivity. This suggestion is based on the results of the forecasting and mechanistic models developed by our study group. In particular, in May 2020, the analysis of our mechanistic model predicted that the easing of lockdown measures will lead to a dramatic second wave of the COVID-19 outbreak. However, after the lockdown was lifted in many European countries, the resulting number of reported infected cases and especially the number of deaths remained low for approximately two months. This raised the false hope that a substantial second wave will be avoided and that the COVID-19 epidemic in these European countries was nearing an end. Unfortunately, since the first week of August 2020, the number of reported infected cases increased dramatically. Furthermore, this was accompanied by an increasingly large number of deaths. The rate of reported infected cases in the second wave was much higher than that in the first wave, whereas the rate of deaths was lower. This trend is consistent with higher infectivity and lower virulence. Even if the mutated form of SARS-CoV-2 is less virulent, the very high number of reported infected cases implies that a large number of people will perish.

Toward a Difference Approach: A Discrete Meat Demand System
Authors: Tsuchida Shu
Published: July 2020

While the differential approach to economic analysis is useful, the difference approach is indispensable as almost all economic data are discrete, rather than continuous. Thus, we must to investigate the integration of the differential with difference approaches. We show a difference quotient corresponding to a differential quotient, which is generally called a derivative, and a partial difference quotient corresponding to a partial differential quotient, which is generally called a partial derivative. From these, the difference approach produces a discrete demand system with logarithmic mean elasticities as parameters that corresponds to a continuous demand system with point elasticities as parameters produced by the differential approach. These systems should satisfy each budget constraint: the former for finite-change variables and the latter for infinitesimal-change variables. Based on these, we consider a discrete meat demand system, apply it to monthly demand for fresh meat in Japan, and estimate it using a weighted RAS method. The estimated demand system has two desirable properties: each estimated demand (theoretical value) of the conditional demand function coincides with each observed demand, and this system satisfies the difference budget constraint.

Abstract : Material characteristics analysis of Sarulla natural zeolite (SNZ) with base activation has been carried out. The base used was NaOH at various concentrations; 0.2 M, 0.5 M, and 2 M. Base activated catalysts were characterized by X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and gas adsorption analysis using BET method. The procedures applied have caused differences in adsorption and desorption rates as well as the crystallinity values of the catalytic materials. Moreover, the ratio of Si/Al contents has also changed at the lowest concentration. On the other hand, the crystallinity of catalysts has decreased at the highest concentration of base applied. The results are reinforced in FTIR characterization which shows the changes of silanol bonds to become silicate and aluminate. Furthermore, morphological analysis of the catalysts shows that homogenous surface was obtained at low concentration, while rough/lumpy surfaces was obtained at higher concentration.Abstrak : Analisis terhadap karakteristik material dari zeolit alam Sarulla (SNZ) dengan metode aktivasi basa telah dilakukan.

Katalis yang telah diaktivasi dengan basa kemudian dikarakterisasi dengan Analisis X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) dan Gas Adsorption menggunakan metode BET. Dari hasil penelitian, ditemukan perbedaan pada tingkat adsorpsi dan desorpsi, begitu juga dengan kristalinitas pada material katalis. Lebih jauh, rasio konten Si/Al juga berubah pada basa dengan konsentrasi terendah. Di sisi lain, tingkat kristalinitas dari katalis mengalami penurunan pada basa dengan konsentrasi tertinggi. Hasil ini diperkuat dengan data FTIR yang menunjukkan perubahan ikatan silanol menjadi silikat dan aluminat. Lebih jauh, analisis morfologi pada katalis menunjukkan bahwa permukaan yang homogen didapatkan dari penggunaan basa dengan konsentrasi rendah. Sebaliknya, basa dengan konsentrasi tinggi memberikan bentuk permukaan katalis yang tidak homogen serta kasar.

Learning is an attempt to compare what behaviors might occur before individuals are placed in learning situations and what behaviors can be demonstrated after being given treatment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the learning variables according to teroi reigeluth which were divided into 3 things, namely (1) learning conditions, (2) learning methods and (3) learning outcomes. Subjects in this study were students of Mathematics Education Study Program FTIK IAIN Langsa in semester IV unit 1 who took courses in calculus and probability theory. By using descriptive analysis the results and research findings obtained in the form of learning conditions (learning objectives and characters, learner characters, and constraints in learning) for both courses namely calculus and opportunity theory give different results. Fundamental differences related to the two materials provide a finding that students are lacking in reasoning and sharpening their thinking power both through reading and discussing mathematical problems so that they are often wrong in interpreting story problems on occasion. Learning outcomes for both courses are in very good categories for calculus and good for probability theory.

Published: July 2020

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah, pertama, untuk mengetahui, menganalisis serta mengkritisi pengaturan permohonan Peninjauan Kembali (PK) yang diajukan oleh Jaksa Penuntut Umum (JPU) dalam perspektif sistem peradilan pidana di Indonesia. Kedua, untuk menemukan dan menganalisis pengaturan mengenai permohonan PK yang ideal kedepannya dalam perspektif sistem peradilan pidana di Indonesia. Berpijak dari tujuan penelitian tersebut, maka dirumuskanlah 2 (dua) permasalahan yaitu: (1) Bagaimanakah pengaturan permohonan PK yang diajukan oleh JPU dalam perspektif sistem peradilan pidana di Indonesia? (2) Bagaimanakah pengaturan PK dalam perspektif sistem peradilan pidana di Indonesia untuk kedepannya?. Metode penelitian yang dipergunakan dalam melakukan pembahasan dari permasalahan yang telah dirumuskan tersebut adalah metode penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual, perundang-undangan, sejarah dan kasus hukum. Setelah dilakukan penelitian, maka hasil yang diperoleh, pertama, dalam perspektif sistem peradilan pidana di Indonesia JPU berhak mengajukan permohonan PK terhadap putusan yang telah berkekuatan hukum tetap, dengan prinsip dasarnya menguntungkan terpidana atau ahli warisnya, namun hal yang demikian ini tidaklah bersifat mutlak, karena dalam keadaan tertentu dapat pula diajukan permohonan PK oleh JPU terhadap putusan yang telah berkekuatan hukum tetap jika tidak terwujudnya kebenaran materil, dalam hal ini permohonan PK tersebut kemungkinan besar justru akan memberatkan terpidana; Kedua, pengaturan mengenai upaya hukum PK yang ideal untuk kedepannya agar JPU diberikan hak secara tegas untuk mengajukan permohonan PK di dalam ketentuan Pasal 263 KUHAP, baik dalam kapasitasnya untuk meringankan maupun yang memberatkan terpidana. Sehingga rekomendasi yang ditawarkan dari adanya penelitian ini adalah, pertama, dalam perspektif sistem peradilan pidana hendaknya antara terpidana dan JPU diberikan hak secara berimbang di dalam upayanya menggunakan sarana hukum PK; kedua, jika pembentuk undang-undang menghendaki adanya penghilangan hak dari JPU di dalam upayanya mengajukan permohonan PK secara tuntas, yang sekiranya dapat merugikan terpidana, maka sebaiknya dihapuskan saja ketentuan dari Pasal 263 ayat (3) KUHAP serta perlu dilakukan penyempurnaan kembali mengenai ketentuan Pasal 264 ayat (2) KUHAP.

RETRATO DA VIOLÊNCIA FÍSICA E SEXUAL CONTRA A MULHER EM FASE DE CLIMATÉRIO
Authors: Guedes Caroline Araújo , Pires Vilara Maria Mesquita Mendes , Moraes Roberta Laíse Gomes Leite , Santos Letícia Silva dos , Silva Jeniffer Souza
Published: July 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as situações de violência física e sexual das mulheres em fase de climatério, diante dos registros das ocorrências realizadas na Delegacia Especializada no Atendimento à Mulher em um município do interior da Bahia. A metodologia seguiu uma abordagem qualitativa, por meio de um estudo documental. Para análise dos dados foi utilizada a técnica de análise de conteúdo. O estudo revelou que a falta de percepção sobre sua sexualidade pode ser um fator que contribui para a ocorrência e omissão da violência sexual no climatério. Em relação à violência física, alguns fatores mostraram-se associados à manifestação da agressão, o uso de álcool ou drogas, a dependência financeira da vítima e a não aceitação do término do relacionamento por parte do agressor. Sendo assim, faz-se necessária a adoção de medidas educativas que proporcionem a sensibilização da população, em especial o público masculino, na tentativa de disseminar a igualdade de gênero e amenizar ou extinguir a violência contra as mulheres no climatério, bem como em todas as fases da vida.
Hyperglycemia But Not Hyperinsulinemia Is Favorable for Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes: A Pilot Study
Authors: Romeres Davide , Olson Karen , Carter Rickey , Cobelli Claudio , Dalla Man Chiara , Basu Ananda , Basu Rita
Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVE

To distinguish the effects of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia on exercise-induced increases in Rd and endogenous glucose production (EGP) in type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We studied six participants without diabetes and six participants with type 1 diabetes on three visits in random order for the following: euglycemia, low insulin (EuLoI); euglycemia, high insulin (EuHiI); and hyperglycemia, low insulin (HyLoI). Glucose fluxes were measured using [6,6-2H2] glucose before, during, and after 60 min of exercise.

RESULTS

Rd increased (P < 0.01) with exercise within groups, while peak Rd during exercise was lower (P < 0.01) in participants with type 1 diabetes than participants without diabetes during all visits. In type 1 diabetes participants, EGP increased (P < 0.001) with exercise during EuLoI and HyLoI but not during EuHiI. This demonstrates that hyperinsulinemia, but not hyperglycemia, blunts the compensatory exercise-induced increase in EGP in type 1 diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS

The data from this pilot study indicate that 1) exercise-induced compensatory increase in EGP was inhibited in participants with type 1 diabetes with hyperinsulinemia but not with hyperglycemia; 2) in contrast, in participants without diabetes, exercise-induced increase in EGP was inhibited only during combined hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Taken together, these results suggest that low insulin coupled with euglycemia or modest hyperglycemia appear to be the most favorable milieu for type 1 diabetes during exercise.

closed-loop (CL) automated insulin delivery systems has been the delay in
insulin absorption and action that results from the subcutaneous (SC) route of
insulin delivery leading to exaggerated post-meal hyperglycemic excursions. We
aimed to investigate the effect of Afrezza inhaled insulin with ultrafast-in
and out action profile on improving post-prandial blood glucose control during
hybrid closed loop (HCL) treatment in young adults with type 1 diabetes.

Methods:
We conducted an inpatient, three-way, randomized
crossover standardized meal study to assess the efficacy and safety of Afrezza
at a low (AL) and a high (AH) dose
as compared to a standard SC rapid-acting insulin (aspart) pre-meal bolus
during Diabetes
Assistant (DiAs) HCL treatment.
Participants received two sequential meals on three study days, and
pre-meal insulin bolus was determined based on home insulin to carbohydrate
ratio for each meal (rounded up to the closest available Afrezza cartridge dose
for AH and down for AL).
The primary efficacy outcome was the peak postprandial plasma glucose (PPG)
level calculated by pooling data for up to four hours after the start of each
meal. Secondary outcomes included hyperglycemic, hypoglycemic, and euglycemic
venous glucose metrics.

Results:
The mean PPG for the rapid acting insulin control arm
and AH were similar (185±50mg/dL vs. 195±46mg/dL, respectively;
p=0.45), while it was higher for meals using AL (208±54mg/dL,
p=0.04). The AH achieved significantly lower early PPG level than
the control arm (30 min; p<0.001), and improvement in PPG waned at later
time points (120 and 180 min; p=0.02) coinciding with the end of Afrezza
glucodynamic action.

Conclusions:
Afrezza (AH) pre-meal bolus reduced the early glycemic excursion and
improved PPG during HCL compared to aspart pre-meal bolus. The improvement in
PPG was not sustained after the end of Afrezza glucodynamic action at 120min.
