Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND

Population mobility is closely associated with COVID-19 transmission, and it could be used as a proximal indicator to predict future outbreaks, which could inform proactive nonpharmaceutical interventions for disease control. South Carolina is one of the US states that reopened early, following which it experienced a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases.

OBJECTIVE

The aims of this study are to examine the spatial-temporal relationship between population mobility and COVID-19 outbreaks and use population mobility data to predict daily new cases at both the state and county level in South Carolina.

METHODS

This longitudinal study used disease surveillance data and Twitter-based population mobility data from March 6 to November 11, 2020, in South Carolina and its five counties with the largest number of cumulative confirmed COVID-19 cases. Population mobility was assessed based on the number of Twitter users with a travel distance greater than 0.5 miles. A Poisson count time series model was employed for COVID-19 forecasting.

RESULTS

Population mobility was positively associated with state-level daily COVID-19 incidence as well as incidence in the top five counties (ie, Charleston, Greenville, Horry, Spartanburg, and Richland). At the state level, the final model with a time window within the last 7 days had the smallest prediction error, and the prediction accuracy was as high as 98.7%, 90.9%, and 81.6% for the next 3, 7, and 14 days, respectively. Among Charleston, Greenville, Horry, Spartanburg, and Richland counties, the best predictive models were established based on their observations in the last 9, 14, 28, 20, and 9 days, respectively. The 14-day prediction accuracy ranged from 60.3%-74.5%.

CONCLUSIONS

Using Twitter-based population mobility data could provide acceptable predictions of COVID-19 daily new cases at both the state and county level in South Carolina. Population mobility measured via social media data could inform proactive measures and resource relocations to curb disease outbreaks and their negative influences.

Published: April 2021

The present study has as objective to analize the percepcion of mothers of preterm babies with very low birth weight and extremely low birth weight under the process of hospitalization of their infants in a neonatal intensive therapy unit (NITU). Ten mothers of premature newborn infants hospitalized in a reference maternity in the execution of the Kangaroo Method, located in Florianópolis – SC participated of the research. The instruments used for the data gathering were the sociodemographic data record to trace the profile of the partcipants; and a semi structured interview script to explore some unfoldings about the experience of the hospitalization of their infants in the NITU, among them, the gestational and hospitalization process. The results suggests that these mothers experience an oscilation of feelings motivated by insecurity and fear, considering the clinical complications and the health situation of their infants. They also evidenced that the birth of a premature baby causes many modifications in the familiar life, specially of the mothers who takes on the role of accompany in the hospital unit, expressing the need of support, considering that sometimes, they leave their other infants under the care of another person and their further activities. Finally, it pointed out the importance of the care lined in the principles of humanization, meaning not only the care of preterm babies, but, of these mothers and families that find themselves fragilized due the lived experience, as well.

Published: April 2021

Observa-se um aumento global de estudos sobre mapeamento climático atrelados ao planejamento urbano, espacializando os microclimas urbanos, para orientar ações municipais, visando ao conforto ambiental. Nesta pesquisa, revisaram-se estudos climáticos diversos para elaborar mapas de análise climática e recomendações quanto ao uso e à ocupação do solo. Adaptou-se a técnica de classificação climática por topoclimas, a partir da sobreposição de camadas e com a atribuição de valores de acúmulo de calor para as camadas-base. No município de Recife, foram identificados catorze microclimas, distribuídos em macrozonas litorânea, de planície e de morros. Os bairros Boa Vista e Soledade apresentaram oito microclimas, sintetizados em três classes de acúmulo de calor, predominantemente alto, sobretudo em áreas adensadas e verticalizadas. As recomendações têm o propósito de contribuir com a gestão urbana, tendo em vista uma atuação mais precisa sobre as áreas críticas, promovendo, como resultado da revisão de parâmetros urbanísticos, diretrizes para a adequação de projetos em escalas urbana e arquitetônica.

Endotypes of Chronic Rhinosinusitis; relationships to disease phenotypes, pathogenesis, clinical findings and treatment approaches.
Authors: Kato Atsushi , Peters Anju , Stevens Whitney , Schleimer Robert , Tan Bruce , Kern Robert
Published: April 2021

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common clinical syndrome that produces
significant morbidity and costs to our health system. The study of CRS
has progressed from an era focused on phenotype to include endotype
based information. Phenotypic classification has identified clinical
heterogeneity in CRS based on endoscopically observed features such as
presence of nasal polyps, presence of comorbid or systemic diseases and
timing of disease onset. More recently, laboratory-based findings have
established CRS endotype based upon specific mechanisms or molecular
biomarkers. Understanding the basis of widespread heterogeneity in the
manifestations of CRS is advanced by findings that the three main
endotypes, Type 1, 2 and 3, orchestrate the expression of three distinct
large sets of genes. The development and use of improved methods of
endotyping disease in the clinic is ushering in an expansion of the use
of biological therapies targeting Type 2 inflammation now and perhaps
other inflammatory endotypes in the near future. The purpose of this
review is to discuss the phenotypic and endotypic heterogeneity of CRS
from the perspective of advancing the understanding of the pathogenesis
and improvement of treatment approaches and outcomes.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: There are a lack of potentially inappropriate medications
(PIMs) predictors among the geriatric population with cardiovascular
disease (CVD). Objective: This study was focussed on finding out the
predictors and prevalence of PIMs use in the older adult patients
hospitalized with cardiovascular disease. Methods: This prospective
cross-sectional study included 250 older adult patients (mean age 69.03±
5.76 years) with the CVD having age 65 years or more, admitted in the
cardiology/medicine department of a tertiary care hospital. PIMs were
identified as per Beers criteria 2019. Binary Logistic regression
analysis was used to determine the predictors of PIMs use in older adult
patients. Results: Results indicate a very high PIM prescription rate of
more than 62.4% (n= 156) with Proton pump inhibitor, short acting
insulin according to sliding scale, Enoxaparin <30ml/min as
the most commonly prescribed PIMs. On Binary logistic regression,
important predictors for PIMs use were found to be females (odds ratio
[OR] 2.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.36- 4.09, P= 0.002),
three diagnosis (OR 4.29, 95% CI 1.31- 14.0, P= 0.016), ≥4 diagnosis
(OR 4.8, 95% CI 1.49- 15.44, P= 0.009), 7-9 days of hospital stay (OR
4.74, 95% CI 1.07- 20.96, P= 0.04), ≥ 9 medications per day (OR 0.09,
95% CI 0.01- 0.50, P= 0.006). Conclusion: The prevalence of PIMs in
older adults with cardiovascular disease is very high, and females with
CVD have emerged as a potential PIM indicator. The study also indicates
a lack of awareness towards Beer criteria in health care workers
(physicians/pharmacists/nursing staff) leading to PIM.

Published: April 2021

Objective To identify modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for
severe obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) following vaginal
delivery. Design Retrospective case-control study. Setting Single center
maternity clinic in South-Eastern Norway Population Women diagnosed with
OASI following singleton vaginal birth after 30 weeks’ gestation (n =
421) and matched controls (n = 421) during 1990-2002. Methods Data were
extracted retrospectively from an institutional birth registry. For each
woman with OASI the first subsequent vaginal singleton delivery matched
for parity was elected as control. Potential determinants for OASI were
assessed by conditional logistic regression analyses. Main outcome
measure OASI, defined as 3rd or 4th degree obstetric anal sphincter
lesions. Results Among modifiable factors amniotomy was the strongest
independent determinant for OASI in both primi- (adjusted odds ratio
[aOR] 4.84; 95% CI 2.60–9.02) and multiparous (aOR 3.76; 95% CI
1.45–9.76) women, followed by augmentation with oxytocin (primiparous:
aOR 1.63; 95% CI 1.08–2.46, multiparous: aOR 3.70; 95% CI
1.79–7.67). Vacuum extraction and forceps delivery were independently
associated with OASI in primiparous women (vacuum: aOR 1.91; 95% CI
1.03–3.57, forceps: aOR 2.37; 95% CI 1.14–4.92), and episiotomy for
OASI in multiparous women (aOR 2.64; 95% CI 1.36–5.14). Conclusions
Amniotomy may be a hitherto unrecognized independent modifiable risk
factor for OASI and should be further investigated for its potential
role in preventive strategies for OASI. Funding Innlandet Hospital Trust

Authors: Ghimire Prashant , Panthi Saroj , Bhusal Krishna , Low Matthew , Pandey Nabin , Ghimire Rojina , Bist Bhuwan , khanal sujan , Poudyal Laxman
Published: April 2021

Background: Asian Woollyneck Ciconia episcopus is large wading bird
whose conservation status has been recently down-listed, despite a lack
of general knowledge on its nesting ecology and breeding success. Thus,
in this study we conducted the most comprehensive survey on the nesting
ecology of this species to date. Methods: We located 39 nesting sites
across 18 districts of Nepal and recorded nest tree characteristics for
the nine tree species they nested in. We also used Maxent modelling to
further understand factors important for nesting habitat suitability and
to identify new areas for future surveys. Results: They most commonly
nested in Simal Bombax ceiba (n =21), followed by Sal Shorea robusta
(n=6) and Salla Pinus roxburghii (n=4). The mean height of the nesting
tree, nest height and tree diameter were 29.8 ± 5.8m (±SD), 1.03 ± 0.35m
& 25.3 ± 5.8 m respectively. Nesting and fledging success were
additionally recorded from 31 nesting attempts at 19 of these nesting
sites between 2016 and 2020. Woollyneck had an estimated nesting success
probability of 0.81 ± 0.07 and a mean fledging success of 1.94 ± 0.25
(±SE) chicks per nest. MaxEnt modelling identified a total potential
suitable nesting habitat area of 9.64 % (14228km2) of total area in
Nepal, with this located within 72 districts (out of 77), mostly in the
western part of Nepal. The modelling parameters suggest that slope,
land-use, precipitation and forest were important determinants of
nesting habitat suitability. Conclusions: The most likely district
reported by the model for Woollyneck nesting habitat has not previously
reported nests which suggests additional survey effort in this region is
warranted. We recommend that priority should be given to conserve taller
trees close to settlements and cropland, and future studies should
consider the potential impact of climate change on nesting suitability
of this species.
Nonideal nest box selection by tree swallows breeding in farmlands: evidence for an ecological trap?
Authors: Courtois Ève , Garant Dany , Pelletier Fanie , Bélisle Marc
Published: April 2021

Animals are expected to select a breeding habitat using cues that should
reflect, directly or not, the fitness outcome of the different habitat
options. However, human-induced environmental changes can alter the
relationship between habitat characteristics and their fitness
consequences, leading to a maladaptive habitat choice. The most severe
case of such nonideal habitat selection is the ecological trap, which
occurs when individuals prefer to settle in poor-quality habitats while
better ones are available. Here we studied the adaptiveness of nest box
selection in a tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) population
breeding over a 10-year period in a network of 400 nest boxes
distributed along a gradient of agricultural intensification in southern
Québec, Canada. We first examined the effects of multiple environmental
and social habitat characteristics on nest box preference to identify
potential settlement cues. We then assessed the links between those cues
and habitat quality as defined by the reproductive performance of
individuals that settled early or late in nest boxes. We found that tree
swallows preferred nesting in open habitats with high cover of perennial
forage crops, high spring insect biomass, and high density of house
sparrows, their main competitors for nest sites. They also preferred
nesting where the density of breeders and their mean number of
fledglings during the previous year were high. Additionally, we detected
mismatches between preference and habitat quality for several
environmental variables. The density of competitors and conspecific
social information showed severe mismatches, as their relationships to
preference and breeding success went in opposite direction under certain
circumstances. Spring food availability and agricultural landscape
context, while related to preferences, were not related to breeding
success. Overall, our study emphasizes the complexity of habitat
selection behavior and provides evidence that multiple mechanisms may
potentially lead to an ecological trap in farmlands.
LEFT VENTRICULAR PSEUDOANEURYSM - A COMPLICATION OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Authors: Maia Adnaldo , Tajra Rafael , Rivadeneira Adrian , António Iuri , Almeida Antônio de
Published: April 2021

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a complication of acute myocardial
infarction, especially after involvement of the inferior wall. The signs
and symptoms are nonspecific. We report a case of a 69-year-old patient
admitted for clinically important dyspnea. Transthoracic
echocardiography showed pseudoaneurysm in the apical region, measuring
96x116 mm. Surgical correction was performed, using bovine pericardium
and anchoring the ventricular orifice with 3-0 polypropylene sutures. It
was not possible to perform coronary artery bypass grafting, as the
distal beds of the proposed vessels were calcified. The patient was
referred to the intensive care unit and discharged on the 17th
postoperative day.

Authors: Parreira Leonor , Carmo Pedro , Marinheiro Rita , Mesquita Dinis , Farinha José , Esteves Ana , Amador Pedro , Ferreira António , Fonseca Marta , Adragao Pedro
Published: April 2021

Background and aims: Activation wavefront is rapid and uniform in normal
myocardium. Fibrosis is associated with deceleration zones (DZ) and late
activated zones. Our aim was to study the right ventricular outflow
tract (RVOT) endocardial activation duration (EAD) in sinus rhythm, and
assess the presence of DZs, in patients with PVCs and controls. Methods:
We studied 29 patients with idiopathic PVCs from the outflow tract,
subjected to catheter ablation and an activation and voltage map of the
RVOT in sinus rhythm. A control group of 15 patients without PVCs that
underwent ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias was also studied. The
RVOT EAD and number of 10 ms isochrones were assessed. DZ were defined
as a zone with>3 isochrones within 1 cm radius. Low voltage
areas (LVA) defined as areas with local electrogram amplitude
<1.5mV. Results: The two groups did not differ in relation to
age, gender or number of points in the map. EAD and number of 10 ms
isochrones were higher in the PVC group; 56 (41-66) ms vs 39 (35-41) ms,
p=0.001 and 5 (4-8) vs 4 (4-5), p=0.001. Presence of DZs and LVAs were
more frequent in the PVC group; 20 (69%) vs 0 (0%), p<0.0001
and 21 (72%) vs 0 (0%), p<0.0001. Patients with LVAs had
longer EAD 60 (52-67) vs 36 (32-40) ms, p<0.0001. Conclusions:
EAD was longer and DZs were more frequent in patients with PVCs and were
associated with presence of LVAs.

A case series of 22 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and
Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms was followed in a primary
care clinic. We provided quantitative and longitudinal profiling for
SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG with a point of care device. Half the patients
had a history of anosmia or ageusia. IgM and IgG responses were highly
heterogeneous quantitatively and temporally. We determined that clinical
symptomatology of chemosensory loss correlated with lesser but sustained
titers of IgM and IgG whereas normal chemosensation correlated with
transiently higher but rapidly declining antibody levels.
Development of A Novel Decision Aid for Informed Decision-Making of Intraocular Lens Types in Patients Undergoing Cataract Surgery
Authors: Gokce Sabite , Al-Mohtaseb Zaina
Published: April 2021

Abstract Objective Surgery is the main treatment of visual loss related
to cataracts. There are multiple intraocular lens (IOL) options with
certain advantages. Patient education on IOL types is necessary to
achieve a successful shared decision making process and meet the
expectations of the individual patient. Decision aids (DAs) are used for
patient education and we developed a novel DA to assist patients during
IOL type selection for their cataract surgery. Methods The Ottawa
Personal Decision Guide and the ‘Workbook on Developing and Evaluating
Patient Decision Aids’ were used in the development of this DA. General
characteristics of cataracts, surgical treatment, and details including
advantages and disadvantages of varying IOLs were included in the
content of the DA. The DA was further evaluated by 3 physicians (Delphi
assessment- International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS)
Collaboration standards) and 25 patients (questionnaire of 6 questions
with Five-point Likert scale). Results The DA was finalized with
feedbacks from the experts. A total score of 50/54 was achieved in
Delphi group assessment. Patient perception of the DA was favorable and
patients also recommended its use by other patients. Conclusions This
novel DA to assist IOL selection for cataract surgery was well accepted
by the patients. There is a potential to improve patients’ level of
knowledge and diminish decisional conflicts. This potential can also
increase patients’ contribution on the shared decision making process. A
further prospective randomized trial to compare with the standard
patient informing process is also planned.
RELASI HURUF MUQATTA'AH DAN INTEGRASI PEMAHAMAN SURAH DALAM AL-QUR'AN
Authors: Niat Khoirun
Published: April 2021

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui struktur ḥurūf muqaṭṭa‘ah dan urgensinya terhadap kesatuan Surah Al-Qur'an. Kajian ini penting karena selama ini konsep kesatuan Surah Al-Qur'an belum menjadikan huruf muqatta'ah sebagai bagian dari surah tersebut. Kontribusi yang diharapkan adalah mendapatkan pemahaman yang integral terhadap Surah Al-Qur'an tanpa mengesampingkan huruf muqatta'ah yang menjadi awal surah. Kajian kepustakaan ini mengambil data utama dari ayat-ayat Surah al-Baqarah yang diawali dengan susunan huruf muqatta'ah alif-lam-mim. Pendekatan yang digunakan untuk menganalisis adalah struktural Levi-Strauss, yaitu dengan mencari relasi-relasi antarunsur untuk menemukan transformasi di dalamnya. Kajian ini menemukan adanya relasi simbolik struktural antara  alif lam-mim dengan tema besar surah al-Baqarah. Struktur surah al-Baqarah dapat dipahami sebagai interaksi tiga golongan manusia, yaitu mukmin, munafik dan kafir. Alif menjadi simbol mukmin; lam menjadi simbol munafik, dan mim menjadi simbol kafir. Interaksi ketiganya dapat digambarkan dengan model segitiga tidakpresisi. Dari sini dapat diketahui urgensi alif-lam-mim untuk memahami surah al-Baqarah secara integral.

Artikel ini mengurai problematika pembinaan dan pengawasan terhadap penerbitan Mushaf Al-Qur'an Indonesia yang dilakukan oleh Lajnah Pentashihan Mushaf Al-Qur'an (LPMQ) sebagai unit pelaksana teknis pada Kementerian Agama RI. LPMQ cukup responsif dengan perkembangan teknologi, salah satunya dengan memberlakukan sistem tashih secara online. Para penerbit, pencetak, distributor dan pengguna Al-Qur'an menjadi mitra LPMQ dalam menjalankan berbagai tugas dan fungsinya tersebut. Mushaf Al-Qur'an merupakan benda sakral yang dalam produksinya memerlukan ketelitian yang tinggi. Namun kenyataannya, kesalahan dalam proses pencetakannya kerap kali terjadi dengan berbagai alasan. Di sisi lain, kebijakan pemerintah terkait tindakan atas kesalahan tersebut dinilai kurang tegas, sehingga tidak menimbulkan efek jera. Pemangku kebijakan perlu menerapkan sebuah sistem yang lebih intensif dalam mengawasi para penerbit dan pencetak Al-Qur'an di Indonesia. Pembinaan dan pengawasan seharusnya tidak hanya fokus pada produk mushafnya saja, namun diharapkan juga dapat menjangkau proses manajemen penerbitnya secara lebih menyeluruh.

Artikel ini membahas fenomena perubahan cara penyajian panduan tajwid dalam mushaf Al-Qur'an di Indonesia. Lingkup kajiannya merupakan panduan tajwid yang dimuat dalam mushaf yang terbit sejak tahun 1984 hingga 2020. Penetapan Mushaf Al-Qur'an Standar Indonesia (MSI) dilakukan pada tahun 1984, dan sejak itu MSI menjadi rujukan dalam penerbitan, pencetakan, dan pentashihan mushaf Al-Qur'an di Indonesia. Panduan tajwid yang menjadi fokus kajian ini berupa narasi teks ringkasan ilmu tajwid yang dilampirkan pada bagian awal atau akhir mushaf, dan sistem tanda yang ditampilkan langsung di dalam teks Al-Qur'an berupa blok warna, angka, dan nama hukum tajwid. Artikel ini merupakan kajian kepustakaan yang disajikan dengan pendekatan deskriptif analitis. Hasil kajian menyimpulkan adanya transformasi penggunaan huruf, dari huruf Arab-Melayu menjadi Latin. Di samping itu, bentuk penyajiannya juga mengalami perubahan dari pola narasi teks berupa lampiran pada mushaf menjadi sistem tanda yang ditampilkan dalam teks Al-Qur'an.
TAJWID WARNA DALAM MUSHAF AL-QUR'AN STANDAR INDONESIA

Published: April 2021

Setelah ditetapkannya Mushaf Al-Qur'an Standar Indonesia pada 1984, penerbitan mushaf di Indonesia mulai tampak berkembang. Salah satu bukti perkembangan tersebut adalah munculnya mushaf tajwid warna. Secara umum, tulisan ini membahas tentang penggunaan sistem tajwid warna pada mushaf, baik sebelum atau setelah diterbitkannya buku Pedoman Tajwid Sistem Warna pada 2011. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan sosiologis-historis untuk mencermati aspek-aspek sejarah, genealogi, dan fungsi tajwid warna. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara inventarisasi, dokumentasi, studi kepustakaan, dan wawancara mendalam kepada para penerbit dan pengguna mushaf tajwid warna. Mushaf tajwid warna muncul di Indonesia pada 2005. Pada mulanya para penerbit mencetak mushaf dengan tajwid warna yang berbeda-beda antara satu penerbit dengan penerbit lainnya, sehingga menimbulkan kebingungan di masyarakat. Setelah diterbitkannya buku Pedoman Tajwid Sistem Warna, penerbitan mushaf tajwid warna lebih teratur. Dari segi penjualannya sejak tahun 2005 hingga 2020 tampak peningkatan yang signifikan. Salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah meningkatnya segmen masyarakat muslim menegah di Indonesia.

Tulisan ini mengkaji sejarah perkembangan mushaf Al-Qur'an braille di Indonesia setelah distandarkan dan dikukuhkan sebagai Mushaf Standar Braille melalui Keputusan Menteri Agama (KMA) No. 25 Tahun 1984. Fase penting ini menjadi titik tolak bagi seluruh pihak terkait untuk menjadikan Mushaf Standar Braille sebagai satu-satunya pedoman dalam penerbitan, pentashihan, dan penggunaan. Melalui pendekatan sejarah dengan menggali informasi dari narasumber dan dokumen yang ada, kajian ini sampai pada kesimpulan bahwa dinamika yang terjadi pascapenetapan Mushaf Standar Braille tergambar dalam beberapa fase. Fase awal merupakan masa transisi yang menggambarkan eksistensi Mushaf Standar Braille belum sepenuhnya menjadi rujukan di tingkat pengguna. Fase berikutnya adalah fase penguatan awal yang memperlihatkan Mushaf Standar Braille sudah menjadi rujukan dan telah digunakan secara lebih luas. Fase penguatan berikutnya ditandai dengan lahirnya edisi revisi Mushaf Standar Braille sebagai kesepakatan baru. Dari seluruh dinamika tersebut peran pemerintah menjadi kunci.

Published: April 2021

Academic society is exposed to continuous growing demands and requirements – innovative pedagogical work, international recognition in research, cooperation with industry - these are just part of requirements which have to be ensured by academic staff at each higher education institution (HEI) in Latvia. The question arises – do working conditions of academic staff, taking into consideration described demands, duties and requirements, correspond with decent work practice, such as competitive pay and working stability? The aim of the research paper is to investigate if the factors influencing work of academic staff are following decent work practice. In order to reach the aim of the research paper, the authors have used the results of the Latvian Trade Union of Education and Science Employees (LIZDA) survey conducted at public higher education institutions in Latvia. The time period of survey was April – September, 2019. The target group of the survey were representatives of academic staff. The major conclusions of the research are the following: (1.) salary of academic staff isn’t competitive with other public professions and positions in Latvia; (2.) working stability of academic staff is low because of insecure and precarious contracts; (3.) working conditions of academic personnel regarding competitive salary and work stability don’t correspond with the decent work practice.

The aim of this study was to quantify the distribution of microvessels and mast cells in all three parts of the trigeminal ganglion (TG). Statistical analyses were applied to investigate possible micromorphological regional differences in their density. Five serially sectioned human TGs were prepared for CD34 and mast cell tryptase immunostaining. The following quantifications were performed in microscopic fields of three parts of the TG: microvessel density (MVD), mast cell density (MCD) and ganglionic cell count. The density of CD34-positive microvessels was not significantly different in any of the three observed parts of the TG. The distribution of neurons showed no significant statistical difference in three parts of the TG. There was no difference in the density of tryptase-positive mast cells within the TG, but there was an abundant presence of mast cells in the periganglionic dural and subdural tissues, a finding hitherto not reported. We can say that there is a homogenous vascular pattern within the TG which excludes local predominance in pathogenesis of trigeminal neuralgia. Second, and more important, the finding of peri-trigeminal mast cells indicates their important role in migraine pain and confirms their degranulation as the main therapeutic goal for this condition.

Objective: We
compared the uptake of telemedicine for diabetes care across multiple
demographic groups during the COVID-19 pandemic to understand the impact of
telemedicine adoption on access to care.

Research Design and
Methods: The study analyzed demographic information of
patients with type 1 diabetes seen between 1/1/2018 and 6/30/2020 at a single
center. We compared the odds of completing a visit via telemedicine across
multiple demographic characteristics.

Results: Among
28,977 patient-visits, the odds of completing a visit via telemedicine were
lower among non-English-speaking (1.7% vs. 2.7%, aOR:0.45, 95% CI:0.26-0.79)
and Medicaid-insured (32.0% vs. 35.9%, aOR:0.83, 95% CI:0.72-0.95) pediatric patients.
No clinically significant differences were observed for other demographic factors.

Conclusions: Rapid
transition to telemedicine did not significantly impact access to diabetes care
for most demographic groups. However, disparities in access to care for
historically marginalized groups merit close attention to ensure use of telemedicine
does not exacerbate these inequities.

Identifying the
tissue-specific molecular signatures of active regulatory elements is critical
to understand gene regulatory mechanisms. Here, we identify transcription start
sites (TSS) using cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) across 57 human
pancreatic islet samples. We identify 9,954 reproducible CAGE tag clusters
(TCs), ~20% of which are islet-specific and occur mostly distal to known gene
TSSs. We integrated islet CAGE data with histone modification and chromatin
accessibility profiles to identify epigenomic signatures of transcription
initiation. Using a massively parallel reporter assay, we validated the transcriptional
enhancer activity for 2,279 of 3,378 (~68%) tested islet CAGE elements (5%
FDR). TCs within accessible enhancers show higher enrichment to overlap type 2
diabetes genome-wide association study (GWAS) signals than existing islet
annotations, which emphasizes the utility of mapping CAGE profiles in
disease-relevant tissue. This work provides a high-resolution map of
transcriptional initiation in human pancreatic islets with utility for
dissecting active enhancers at GWAS loci.

Authors: YÖNETKEN Ahmet , EROL Ayhan
Published: April 2021

In this study, sample pairs of (WC) Ni / (WC) Ni and WC-Ni / WC-Ni formed from (WC) Ni composites produced from Ni coated WC powders and uncoated WC-Ni / powders were used for diffusion welding. Diffusion welding was carried out by preloaded compression system under Ar atmosphere. Diffusion welding was obtained by changing bonding pressure and temperature. Schimadzu 100kN universal tensile machine was employed for tensile shear testing of diffusion welded couples. The tensile shear test results showed that electroless nickel coated WC(Ni) composite diffusion couples yielded best tensile shear load bearing capacity 35,4 MPa compared to other diffusion couples. Hardness values ranging from 200 to 400HV were determined. SEM and XRD analysis systems were used to analyze the microstructural analysis of the composites and diffusion welded samples obtained in the study and to analyze the particles formed at the weld interface.

IntroductionAdministrative health data capture diagnoses using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which has multiple versions over time. To facilitate longitudinal investigations using these data, we aimed to map diagnoses identified in three ICD versions – ICD-8 with adaptations (ICDA-8), ICD-9 with clinical modifications (ICD-9-CM), and ICD-10 with Canadian adaptations (ICD-10-CA) – to mutually exclusive chronic health condition categories adapted from the open source Clinical Classifications Software (CCS).
MethodsWe adapted the CCS crosswalk to 3-digit ICD-9-CM codes for chronic conditions and resolved the one-to-many mappings in ICD-9-CM codes. Using this adapted CCS crosswalk as the reference and referring to existing crosswalks between ICD versions, we extended the mapping to ICDA-8 and ICD-10-CA. Each mapping step was conducted independently by two reviewers and discrepancies were resolved by consensus through deliberation and reference to prior research. We report the frequencies, agreement percentages and 95% confidence intervals (CI) from each step.
ResultsWe identified 354 3-digit ICD-9-CM codes for chronic conditions. Of those, 77 (22%) codes had one-to-many mappings; 36 (10%) codes were mapped to a single CCS category and 41 (12%) codes were mapped to combined CCS categories. In total, the codes were mapped to 130 adapted CCS categories with an agreement percentage of 92% (95% CI: 86%–98%). Then, 321 3-digit ICDA-8 codes were mapped to CCS categories with an agreement percentage of 92% (95% CI: 89%–95%). Finally, 3583 ICD-10-CA codes were mapped to CCS categories; 111 (3%) had a fair or poor mapping quality; these were reviewed to keep or move to another category (agreement percentage=77% [95% CI: 69%–85%]).
ConclusionsWe developed crosswalks for three ICD versions (ICDA-8, ICD-9-CM, and ICD-10-CA) to 130 clinically meaningful categories of chronic health conditions by adapting the CCS classification. These crosswalks will benefit chronic disease studies spanning multiple decades of administrative health data.

Published: April 2021

Este estudo propõe discutir sobre as atitudes linguísticas presentes na fala dos nativos do município de Costa Rica- MS, sendo este o lócus desta pesquisa por pertencer à Tríplice Fronteira entre os estados de MS, MT e GO. Nesse sentido, alguns objetivos específicos permearam o tema em questão, a fim de compreender como os costarriquenses percebem a própria língua; analisar como os falantes nativos desta cidade veem a fala e as influências dos imigrantes; identificar, a partir da perspectiva da Sociolinguística, o sotaque dos costarriquenses. Portanto, a proposta deste trabalho pauta-se na abordagem quali-quantitativa, a partir da aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado com 13 perguntas dirigidas a 20 costarriquenses entrevistados por meio do aplicativo WhatsApp em virtude da pandemia mundial causada pelo Covid 19. A pesquisa constatou-se que os costarriquenses entendem a língua que falam como a de prestígio, contudo, ressalta-se que existem diferentes falares na região, sobretudo entre os próprios nativos. Não obstante, os dados da pesquisa também revelaram que a fala que consideram como a mais correta não é a deles, pois classificam-na como caipira, tendo o r e s puxados, que, segundo eles, isto se deve às suas raízes e às influências dos imigrantes, principalmente dos goianos e mineiros.
