Authors: Dang Yuanyuan , Guo Shanshan , Guo Xitong , Vogel Doug 
Published: March 2020

BackgroundAn online health community (OHC) is a novel sharing channel through which doctors share professional health care knowledge with patients. While doctors have the authority to protect their patients’ privacy in OHCs, we have limited information on how doctors’ privacy protection choices affect their professional health care knowledge sharing with patients.ObjectiveWe examined the relationship between privacy protection and professional health care knowledge sharing in OHCs. Specifically, we examined the effects of privacy protection settings in an OHC on doctors’ interactive professional health care knowledge sharing and searching professional health care knowledge sharing (two dimensions of professional health care knowledge sharing). Moreover, we explored how such effects differ across different levels of disease stigma.MethodsWe collected the monthly panel data of 19,456 doctors from Good Doctor, one of the largest OHCs in China, from January 2008 to April 2016. A natural experimental empirical study with difference-in-difference analysis was conducted to test our hypotheses. The time fixed effect and the individual fixed effect were both considered to better identify the effects of a privacy protection setting on professional health care knowledge sharing. Additionally, a cross-sectional analysis was performed for a robust check.ResultsThe results indicate that the privacy protection setting has a significant positive effect on interactive professional health care knowledge sharing (β=.123, P<.001). However, the privacy protection setting has a significant negative effect on searching professional health care knowledge sharing (β=–.225, P=.05). Moreover, we found that high disease stigma positively impacts the effect of privacy protection on interactive professional health care knowledge sharing (coefficients are in the same valence) and negatively impacts the effects of privacy protection on searching professional health care knowledge sharing (coefficients are in the reverse valence).ConclusionsPrivacy protection has a bilateral effect on professional health care knowledge sharing (ie, a positive effect on interactive professional health care knowledge sharing and a negative effect on searching professional health care knowledge sharing). Such bilateral switches of professional health care knowledge sharing call for a balanced state in conjunction with practical implications. This research also identifies a moderate effect of disease stigma on privacy protection settings and professional health care knowledge sharing.

Published: March 2020

Objective: Recurrence is common in the treatment of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) with an Epley maneuver. Methods such as manipulation are also effective in treatment. The study was aimed to determine the effect of cervical manipulation added to the Epley maneuver in treatment of patients with BPPV who has cervical lordosis and neck pain. Material and Methods: Patients diagnosed with BPPV who has flattened cervical lordosis with at least level 6 neck pain in VAS and over 18 years of age were included in the study. Patients were stratified into two groups according to age and gender. In the first and control examination one month later, cervical manipulation was performed in addition to Epley maneuver to the first group (combined therapy), and only Epley maneuver to the second group. Patients were examined with video-head-impulse test (VHIT), the severity of neck pain determined with VAS and symptoms were questioned with the vertigo symptom scale (VSS) prior and after treatment.Results: There was no difference between the groups in terms of VAS-pain, VSS and VHIT parameters before treatment (p˃ 0.05). While there was no difference in vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gains between the study groups (p˃ 0.05), there was a significant difference in terms of VSS and VAS-pain (p = 0.01), after treatment. When compared by pathological VHIT findings, there was a significant difference in terms of improvement in favor of the combined treatment group after treatment (p = 0.02). At intragroup comparisons, VSS, VAS-pain, values were significantly decreased after treatment in both groups (p=0.01). While intragroup pathologic VHİT findings were considered before and after treatment, there was no significant difference in improvement after treatment in the Epley group (p˃0.05). Contrarily difference was significant in the combined treatment group (p=0.01).Conclusion: Epley and manipulation therapy are more successful when applied together.

Kronik karaciğer hastalığı (KKH), karaciğer parankiminde progresif bir yıkım ve rejenerasyon ile giden, fibrozis ve siroz ile sonuçlanan kronik bir süreçtir. Enfeksiyöz nedenlerden otoimmun nedenlere kadar birçok farklı hastalık etiyolojisinde rol almasına karşın hastalar karşımıza benzer klinik bulgularla çıkmaktadır. Ayrıntılı bir anamnez ve dikkatli bir fizik muayene ayırıcı tanıda dikkate değer bilgi verir. Ancak kesin tanı için özgül testlere ihtiyaç vardır. Herşeye rağmen etiyolojisi bulunmayan bir grup hala mevcuttur. Çocukların önlerinde daha uzun bir yaşam olduğu göz önüne alınarak komplikasyonlar açısından dikkatli olunmalıdır. Özellikle beslenme durumları, kemik metabolizması ve aşı programları yakın takip edilmelidir. Gerekli durumlarda hastalara erken müdahale edilmelidir.

Published: March 2020

При создании вычислительных систем с использованием программируемых логических интегральных схем (ПЛИС) или специализированных микросхем часто встает проблема соединения нескольких микросхем между собой для передачи данных. При создании авторами подобной вычислительной системы оказалось, что существующие доступные протоколы взаимодействия не обладают требуемыми свойствами: пакетной передачей, использованием небольшого числа линий ввода-вывода общего назначения, необходимой пропускной способностью.
Представлен пакетный протокол передачи данных между ПЛИС, использующий 6 линий ввода-вывода общего назначения и обеспечивающий скорость передачи до 10 МБ/с (суммарно в обе стороны) при частоте 20 МГц.

When creating computer boards with FPGA or application-specific chips, it is often needed to connect several chips. Existing available buses do not have all the properties required by the authors’ task at hand: packet transmission, using a small number of GPIO pins, sufficient bandwidth.
We describe a packet communication protocol that uses GPIO pins and has bandwidth up to 10 MB/s at a frequency of 20 MHz.
Dr. Adequacy of nutrient intakes among pregnant Women in Northern Ghana
Authors: Saaka Mahama 
Published: March 2020

Introduction: Adequate nutrition during pregnancy is a pre-requisite for good pregnancy outcomes as well as future wellbeing, development and quality of life of the unborn child. This analytical cross-sectional study evaluated the adequacy of nutrient intakes of pregnant women resident in northern Ghana.
Methods: A total of 400 pregnant women in 25 communities in the Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions of Ghana were interviewed at the household level. The nutrient intakes were assessed using a structured 24-hour dietary recall questionnaire. A dietary diversity score (DDS) was measured as a count of food groups. A nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) of 14 nutrients as well as mean adequacy ratio (MAR) were calculated based on the 24-hour dietary recall.
Results: The average energy, protein and fat intakes were 2,770.8 ± 1,127.5 Kcal/day, 59.2 ±27.5 g/day, and 105.25±58.0 g/day, respectively. The proportion of women meeting the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of these macro-nutrients were 58.8%, 27.0% and 50.3% respectively. The average MAR of 14 nutrients was calculated to be 68% as the overall measure of nutrient adequacy. MAR correlated positively with DDS (r = 0.24 P < 0.001). Over 50% pregnant women obtained less than 66% of the RDA for iron, calcium, riboflavin, folic acid and vitamin B12.
Conclusion: Diets of the majority of these pregnant women were deficient in several nutrients. Dietary diversity scores served as a useful proxy indicator of nutrient adequacy in this sample. In order to meet the requirements for essential nutrients, more effort should be made to promote dietary diversity among pregnant women in northern Ghana.

Published: March 2020

The aim of this article is to describe the rationale and design of a cross-sectional study that investigated the influence of attitudinal factors on diet and lifestyle of African and Caribbean women living in the UK. The results of the study will be presented elsewhere. African and Caribbean women are at high risk of obesity which exacerbates health inequalities. In the UK, little work has been carried out to better understand attitudinal factors that contribute towards obesity, lifestyle and health practice amongst this group.
Methods: The study applied a comprehensive questionnaire to capture socio-demographic data and explore general attitudes towards diet and lifestyle of African and Caribbean women. Dietary data were collected using triple-pass 24-hour recalls. In addition, all participants had anthropometric measures, blood pressure and biochemical indices assessed using standardised methods.
Discussion: Potential strengths and limitations of the current study design, exploring health, diet, and lifestyle habits and the contextual influence on these practices among African and Caribbean in the UK are discussed. Findings from this study will contribute to the understanding of food and health practices, the role of socio-cultural factors and potential barriers and facilitators to the adoption of a healthy lifestyle, which could reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, all of which have increased prevalence in these communities

Ebola outbreak in eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2018–2020 proved that the virus remains highly hazardous for humans, and the outbreak in West Africa in 2014–2016, which was the largest Ebola outbreak in history, showed that it could be imported to other continents, including Russia. In 1993 the Federal State Budgetary Institution “48th Central Scientific Research Institute” of the Russian Ministry of Defence developed a specific equine immunoglobulin for emergency prophylaxis of Ebola in risk groups. The evaluation and improvement of the product’s properties is an important area in the development of biological defence technologies.The aim of the studywas to examine the properties of the equine anti-Ebola immunoglobulin which had been stored for a long time at 2–8 °C.Materials and methods:the authors studied batches of heterologous anti-Ebola immunoglobulin that had been stored for 17–22 years. The properties of the product were evaluated according to the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation, 14th ed. (Ph. Rus. 14 ed.). The specific activity of the product was determined in a plaque reduction neutralisation test using Ebola virus and African green monkey kidney cells (GMK-AH-1(D)). Immunoglobulin molecular parameters were determined by size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography using the test methods described in the European Pharmacopoeia 9.6 and Ph. Rus. 14 ed.Results:the storage of anti-Ebola immunoglobulin for 17–22 years at 2–8 °C resulted in a four-fold reduction of the level of virus-neutralising antibodies against Ebola, decrease in the proportion of monomers from 98 to 74–90%, increase in the proportion of dimers and polymers, and formation of immunoglobulin molecules’ fragments. Signs of toxicity for mice were observed in one of the three product batches.Conclusions:the obtained results suggest the need to perform more studies to test the quality of antiEbola immunoglobulin batches that were stored for shorter periods of time in order to assess the stability of their initial characteristics.

Published: March 2020

Objetivo: Estudiar el patrón de ramificación de la arteria ilíaca interna del feto y que son equivalentes a la disposición de las ramas ilíacas internas en los adultos. Métodos: Veinticuatro mitades de pelvis fueron utilizados como muestras. Que se obtuvieron de fetos nacidos muertos, de 5 a 9 meses de edad gestacional. Resultados: la arteria ilíaca interna está en consonancia con la arteria ilíaca común y más grande que la arteria ilíaca externa. Tres tipos de ramificación se observaron sobre la base de las grandes ramas, a saber, la arteria glútea inferior, la arteria pudenda interna y la arteria glútea superior. Los resultados se correlacionaron con los patrones de ramificación descriptos por Piersol (1930). Conclusión: La disposición más común, tenía dos grandes troncos procedentes de la arteria iliaca interna, la posterior era la arteria glútea superior y la anterior se dividía en arterias pudenda y glútea inferior. Los otros patrones conducen variables en los adultos que son de importancia embriológicos y quirúrgicos. Objective: To study the branching pattern of fetal internal iliac artery and to correlate with the arrangement of the internal iliac branches in adults. Methods: Twenty four pelvic halves were used as specimens. They were obtained from the dead born fetuses of 5 to 9 months of gestational age. Results: Internal iliac artery was in line with the common iliac artery and larger than the external iliac artery. Three types of branching were observed based on the large branches namely inferior gluteal artery, internal pudendal artery and superior gluteal artery. The findings were correlated with the patterns of branching described by Piersol (1930). Conclusion: The most common arrangement had two large trunks originating from internal iliac artery, the posterior one being superior gluteal artery and the anterior one divided into internal pudendal and inferior gluteal arteries. The other patterns lead to variable branching patterns in adults that are of embryological and surgical significance.
Relaciones fenotipícas y genéticas entre razas tardías de maíz (Zea mays ssp. mays) nativas de la provincia de Misiones (Argentina)

Published: March 2020

Introducción y objetivos: Si bien se han descripto las razas de maíz nativas del Noreste de Argentina (Misiones) y publicado un trabajo sobre las relaciones fenéticas, no obstante poco se conoce sobre las relaciones genéticas, siendo éste el objetivo principal de este trabajo.
M&M: Un grupo de seis razas de maíz y la descendencia “F1” derivada de un esquema de cruzamientos dialélicos han sido evaluadas sobre la base de 21 caracteres cuantitativos, morfológicos vegetativos, reproductivos y fenológicos mediante ANVA y métodos estadísticos multivariados (análisis discriminante canónico y análisis de agrupamiento).
Resultados: El ANVA mostró diferencias altamente significativas entre las razas parentales y la progenie, para casi todas las variables. Las dos primeras variables canónicas (vc) explican casi 67% de la variación total. Los caracteres discriminantes más importantes asociados a la primera vc corresponden a las dimensiones de la espiga y de los granos, mientras que los caracteres ligados a la segunda vc son morfológicos vegetativos y reproductivos. Se describieron los grupos raciales definidos por el análisis de agrupamiento.
Conclusiones: El análisis de agrupamiento permitió distinguir grupos raciales afines. Las relaciones genéticas observadas a partir de cruzamientos dialélicos son diferentes según el parámetro que se considere para el reagrupamiento. Los resultados obtenidos son importantes desde el punto de vista taxonómico y evolutivo y facilitan la elección de material a emplear en los programas de mejoramiento.

Published: March 2020

Power system operation and control required models of generators, lines and loads to be accurately estimated, this is to enable operators make a reliable decision on the system. Generators and lines models are so far considered accurate, while load models are considered perplexing due to invention of new types of loads, distribution system are transforming from passive to active. Future distribution systems are desired to be smart and for a network to be smart the system as to be fully and accurately represented. Penetration of renewable energy and application of power electronic devices as well as participation of active customers in distribution systems make traditional methods of load modeling absolute. Accurate load modeling is required to address the new challenges evolving in the task of power system operation, control and stability studies. It is also an interest of power system researchers globally to realize Smart Networks (SNs), in which accurate load models are required. This work described a review of techniques and approaches for load modeling from traditional methods to the state of art in the area. In addition, gaps in the literature as well as research directions are also pointed out.
