An Integrative Review of the Use of Social Media in Graduate Nursing Education
Authors: HERNANDEZ JOANNA , MUNYAN KRISTEN 
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACTSocial media is widely used, including among health professional educators. As a teaching strategy, social media can be helpful to nursing educators, and has been found to be useful in teaching nursing students regarding “communication, professionalism, healthcare policy and ethics” (Schmitt, Sims-Giddens and Booth 2012). With many current nursing students preferring learning environments and strategies that are enriched by technology, a thorough understanding of the implications of the use of social media in the instruction of nursing education is needed. Particularly the potential benefits and risks warrant continued evaluation. In the instruction of nursing students, social media interaction with faculty can be used as a training methodology for professional communication (Arrigoni, Alvaro, Vellone, and Vanzetta 2016). Social media can provide a way for nursing faculty to promote the use of technological professional engagement, a skill competency that is often lacking among nursing students (Schmitt et al. 2012).Despite a number of reviews being readily locatable on the current best practices regarding social media use in nursing education (Ross and Meyers 2017), little is available regarding applicability to graduate nursing students. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to conduct an integrative review of the available evidence regarding the utilization of social media in teaching graduate nursing students. Only two articles were located that were specifically relevant to gradate nursing education. The located articles reported small scale initiatives and case studies. Further exploration of the available literature is needed in regard to graduate work specifically as professional communication is a key competency of many graduate nursing programs.
Cultural Analytics
Authors: Manovich Lev 
Published: October 2020

A book at the intersection of data science and media studies, presenting concepts and methods for computational analysis of cultural data.
How can we see a billion images? What analytical methods can we bring to bear on the astonishing scale of digital culture—the terabytes of photographs shared on social media every day, the hundreds of millions of songs created by twenty million musicians on Sound Cloud, the content of four billion Pinterest boards? In Cultural Analytics, Lev Manovich presents concepts and methods for computational analysis of cultural data, with a particular focus on visual media. Drawing on more than a decade of research and projects from his own lab, Manovich—the founder of the field of cultural analytics—offers a gentle, nontechnical introduction to selected key concepts of data science and discusses the ways that our society uses data and algorithms.
Manovich offers examples of computational cultural analysis and discusses the shift from “new media” to “more media”; explains how to turn cultural processes into computational data; and introduces concepts for exploring cultural datasets using data visualization as well as other recently developed methods for analyzing image and video datasets. He considers both the possibilities and the limitations of computational methods, and how using them challenges our existing ideas about culture and how to study it.
Cultural Analytics is a book of media theory. Arguing that before we can theorize digital culture, we need to see it, and that, because of its scale, to see it we need computers, Manovich provides scholars with practical tools for studying contemporary media.

Published: October 2020

BackgroundFamilies are a fundamental aspect in the current perspective of Early Intervention, and knowing their opinion with quantitative and qualitative research is necessary for its improvement. The objective of this research was to evaluate the quality of the service perceived in Early Intervention Centers and its relationship with satisfaction and future intention, as well as to identify factors that are associated with the perception of users.MethodsA measurement model of 50 items and an open question to gather qualitative information was used in a sample of 233 participants. A confirmatory factor analysis and a regression analysis were conducted. Regarding the qualitative data, the information was subjected to a thematic content analysis in order to delve into the perception of the participants.ResultsThe model showed a satisfactory fit and the regression analysis indicated that treatment rooms (β = − 0.28) and adaptation of activities (β = 0.27) have greater weight with respect to satisfaction, whereas for future intention, the factors of greater weight were adaptation of activities (β = 0.23) and location (β = 0.20). The qualitative analysis showed three themes: facilitators, barriers and suggestions for improvement. Within facilitators, the participants were satisfied with the Early Intervention professionals, and they made improvement suggestions for the detected barriers to improve the facilities and the follow-up of the child.ConclusionsThe study offers a wide perspective of the perception of the service with an active participation of families in the treatment within the Early Intervention service. This will allow professionals in Early Intervention, service providers and researchers to consider the families as intervention agents capable of providing their opinion and making decisions, and not only as passive elements.
Meteorus gyrator (Thunberg) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) In Egypt: Geographical Distribution and Mass-production
Authors: Gesraha Mohamed Ahmed , Ebeid Amany Ramadan 
Published: October 2020

Background: The larval internal parasitoids in the genus Meteorus attack certain lepidopterous larvae in different Egyptian fields. Two species, M. rubens and M. gyrator were the most abundant species reared from several lepidopterous larval species, which feed on different host plants in the two selected Governorates in Egypt throughout two successive years.
Aim: This work presents a method specifically designed to improve the abundance and the parasitizing potential of M. gyrator in open fields to parasitize and develop on a broad range of noctuid’s pests by releasing considerable number of the parasitoid adults. Also it deals with some aspects of the basic biology of M. gyrator parasitizing Spodoptera littoralis and Autugrapha ni, as mass-rearing hosts.
Methodology: 1- Population Dynamics
Biweekly samples of lepidopterous larvae were collected from different host plants in the fields of Giza and Faiyum Governorates, for two successive years (November, 2017 to October, 2019). Collected larvae were confined individually under constant conditions until pupation or the emergence of the internal parasitoid’s larvae for pupation.
2- Laboratory Rearing
Cultures of some insect larvae, Heliothis armigera, Spodoptera exigua, Agrotis ipsilon, Sesamia cretica, S. littoralis and Autographa ni were reared in laboratory under constant conditions to act as hosts for mass-production of the parasitoid, M. gyrator.
Results: Obtained results reveal that A. ipsilon was the main host of M. rubens, it was more abundant in both years and localities of the survey. Meteorus gyrator was recorded at fewer numbers; it was reared from S. littoralis, S. exigua, S. critica, Heliothis spp. and Autographa spp. The parasitism percentage by M. rubens averaged 23.10% at Giza. While in the case of M. gyrator it averaged 3.25%. In Faiyum, the corresponding figure averaged 12.96% parasitism for M. rubens; while it averaged 6.93%, for M. gyrator. To increase the efficacy of M. gyrator, mass production experiments were carried out, suggesting that Autographa ni was the most suitable for mass-rearing than S. littoralis.
Conclusion: To increase the efficacy of M. gyrator as an endoparasitoid, its numbers in the field should be increased by releasing a considerable number of adults, to control lepidopterous larval pests.

Published: October 2020

Aim: HIV/AIDS remains a leading cause of death and disability in Sub Saharan Africa and this accounts for almost half of the world’s HIV related deaths. On the other hand, bacterial sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as syphilis contributes to the morbidity and mortality obtained in developing countries. Co-infection of syphilis and HIV may increase the risk of HIV transmission and adversely affect reproductive health. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of STDs in HIV positive individuals can help prevent spread to their partners. There is also very little information about incidence and prevalence of HIV/Syphilis co-infection and their determinants. The aim of this study is to evaluate the HIV/Syphilis co-infection among HIV-infected individuals in Uyo, Nigeria.
Methods: A total of 176 individuals living with HIV participated in this study. The average age of the study participants was 39.1 years from a range of 6-67 years. Plasma samples obtained from the human subjects were analysed for presence of HIV and Syphilis antibodies using enzyme-Linked immunosorbent Assay.
Results: Our findings showed that the overall prevalence of HIV/Syphilis co-infection in Uyo was 1.7%. Analysis of the results revealed that the variables—sex and educational background—significantly influenced the rate of syphilis sero-positivity among the population under study. While variables- age, marital status and occupational skills non-significantly influenced the rate of syphilis sero-positivity among the population under study.
Conclusion: This study confirmed the co-infection of HIV and Syphilis in Uyo, Nigeria. Early screening of Syphilis and other STDs contributes to the control of infection and reduces the spread of HIV to partners. A number of primary preventive interventions for HIV and syphilis need to be adopted including use of condoms and medical male circumcision in order to improve sexual and reproductive health amongst individuals.
Gastrointestinal Bleeding Diagnosed by Capsule Endoscopy – A Change towards More Patients with Bleeding-related Drugs
Authors: Hann Alexander , Graf Louisa , Seufferlein Thomas , Zizer Eugen 
Published: October 2020

Background: Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is the standard procedure for a work-up of a suspected bleeding source after negative gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Popularity of this procedure increased in the last decade. In this work we aimed to identify the changes in patient characteristics and how those changes influence bleeding related findings. In particular the assumed higher risk of gastrointestinal bleeding of the new oral anticoagulants (nOAC) compared to phenprocoumon was of interest.
Methods: Consecutive VCE examinations performed at our center from January 2004 to March 2018 were identified retrospectively. Baseline characteristics of the patients, VCE results and treatment that was initiated were analyzed.
Results: 560 VCE were included in the analysis. The rate of VCE per month increased from 2.3/month in the period of January 2004 – December 2012 up to 5.0/month in January 2013 – March 2018. Accompanied by this increase the examined patients suffered from significantly more comorbidities (72 vs. 82%, p 0.001) and used a higher number of bleeding-related drugs (47 vs. 66%, p <0.001), especially nOACs. Age above 65 and bleeding-related drugs were significantly associated with angiodysplasias found on VCE examinations. NOACs and phenprocoumon showed no difference in their correlation to angiodysplasias.
Conclusion: This single center retrospective analysis revealed a steep increase in VCE examinations over the last years with an increase in the prevalence of comorbidities and the use of bleeding-related drugs. Interestingly, use of both nOACs and phenprocoumon did not result in a significant higher rate of angiodysplasias in the VCE.
The effect of designing a rotational planning target volume on sparing pharyngeal constrictor muscles in patients with oropharyngeal cancer
Authors: Arbab Mona , Ai Huisi , Bartlett Gregory , Dawson Benjamin , Langer Mark 
Published: October 2020

AbstractBackgroundPlanning target volume (PTV) has been used to account for variations in tissue, patient and beam position. In oropharyngeal cancers, an isotropic expanded PTV has been used.AimThe aim of this study was to design a new margin formula that would cover the space occupied by an oropharyngeal clinical target volume (CTV) with ±5‐degree rotation around the spine in order to reduce the pharyngeal constrictors overlap with PTV compared to an isotropic expanded PTV.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated 20 volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans. In order to perform an off‐axis rotation, a hypothetical point was placed through the center of the cervical spinal canal and the image was then rotated around the longitudinal axis ±5 degrees. This created a new set of CTVs that were combined to form the new rotational PTV. The overlap between the pharyngeal constrictor muscles (PCMs) and both PTVs was then evaluated.ResultsThe new rotational PTV causes reduction in the superior PCM overlap in the base of tongue (BOT) lesions compared to tonsillar lesion, 57.8% vs 25.8%, P = 0.01, as well as middle PCM overlap, 73% vs 49%, P = 0.04. Average percent change for PTV volume and overlap with the superior, middle, and inferior PCMs are as followed: −19%, −37%, −59.4%, and −45.2. The smallest isotropic expansion that covers the new rotational PTV was between 3 and 5mm with the average tumor center shift of 0.49 cm.ConclusionThis new rotational PTV causes significant reduction of the overlap volume between PCMs and PTVs in order to spare the PCMs compared to isotropic expanded PTV.

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate whether multiple sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the primary motor (M1) cortex paired with aerobic exercise can improve walking functions in multiple sclerosis (MS).MethodsMS participants were recruited for a double‐blind, parallel‐arm, randomized, sham‐controlled trial and assigned to 10 sessions (5 d/wk for 2 weeks) of either active or sham tDCS paired with unloaded cycling for 20 minutes. Stimulation was administered over the left M1 cortex (2.5 mA; anode over C3/cathode over FP2). Gait spatiotemporal parameters were assessed using a wearable inertial sensor (10‐meter and 2‐minute walking tests). Measurements were collected at baseline, end of tDCS intervention, and 4‐week postintervention to test for duration of any benefits.ResultsA total of 15 participants completed the study, nine in the active and six in the sham condition. The active and sham groups were matched according to gender (50% vs. 40% female), neurologic disability (median EDSS 5.5 vs. 5), and age (mean 52.1 ± 12.9 vs. 53.7 ± 9.8 years). The active group had a significantly greater increase in gait speed (0.87 vs. 1.20 m/s, p < 0.001) and distance covered during the 2‐minute walking test (118.53 vs. 133.06 m, p < 0.001) at intervention end compared to baseline. At 4‐week follow‐up, these improvements were maintained (baseline vs. follow‐up: gait speed 0.87 vs. 1.18 m/s, p < 0.001; distance traveled 118.53 vs. 143.82 m, p < 0.001).InterpretationMultiple sessions of tDCS paired with aerobic exercise lead to cumulative and persisting improvements in walking and endurance in patients with MS.

AbstractThe current outbreak of the beta‐coronavirus (beta‐Cov) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) began in December 2019. No specific antiviral treatments or vaccines are currently available. A recent study has reported that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), the disease caused by SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, is associated with neutrophil‐specific plasma membrane rupture, and release excessive neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and extracellular DNAs (eDNAs). This mechanism involves the activation of NETosis, a neutrophil‐specific programmed cell death, which is believed to play a crucial role in COVID‐19 pathogenesis. Further progression of the disease can cause uncontrolled inflammation, leading to the initiation of cytokine storms, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and sepsis. Herein, it is reported that DNase‐I‐coated melanin‐like nanospheres (DNase‐I pMNSs) mitigate sepsis‐associated NETosis dysregulation, thereby preventing further progression of the disease. Recombinant DNase‐I and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) are used as coatings to promote the lengthy circulation and dissolution of NET structure. The data indicate that the application of bioinspired DNase‐I pMNSs reduce neutrophil counts and NETosis‐related factors in the plasma of SARS‐CoV‐2 sepsis patients, alleviates systemic inflammation, and attenuates mortality in a septic mouse model. Altogether, the findings suggest that these nanoparticles have potential applications in the treatment of SARS‐CoV‐2‐related illnesses and other beta‐CoV‐related diseases.

Published: October 2020

AbstractArtificial wetlands are now constructed to be used for wastewater treatment, water quality improvement of reservoirs, and landscape reintegration purposes. The removal and degradation of enriched nutrients and pollutants from them are efficiently done by the activity of wetland plants. Most studies are focused on the purification capacity; the identification and classification of these species are lacking. In the present research, chloroplast genomes (cp genome) of three wetland plants namely, Cyperus alternifolius L., Thalia dealbata Fraser, and Canna indica L. were examined. The cp genomes of these species were sampled and sequenced using Illumina HiSeq platform with a 300‐bp paired‐end sequencing followed by the analysis of codon usage pattern. In the experiment, 3.86 Gb clean data were obtained and 310 genes from each of C. alternifolius and T. dealbata and 62 genes in C. indica were predicted. In the optimal codons analysis, showed that three cp genome preferred A/U‐ending and 3, 11, and 14 were identified in the C. alternifolius, T. dealbata, and C. indica cp genomes, respectively. Advanced analysis indicated that other factors (e.g., natural selection) play a major role in shaping codon usage pattern rather than mutation pressure. These results extend the codon usage bias study of plants and provide genetic data for further identification and phylogenetic studies.

AbstractPeople with disabilities experience health disparities arising from social, environmental, and system‐level factors. Evidence from a range of settings suggests women with disabilities have reduced access to health information and experience barriers to screening, prevention, and care services. This results in greater unmet health needs, particularly in relation to sexual and reproductive health. Women with disabilities are also more likely to experience physical and sexual violence than women without disabilities, further undermining their health. Community‐based participatory research (CBPR) can generate knowledge and underpin action to address such health disparities and promote health equity. However, the potential and challenges of disability inclusion in CBPR, particularly in contexts of poverty and structural inequality such as those found in low‐ and middle‐income countries, are not well documented. In this paper, we reflect on our experience of implementing and evaluating W‐DARE, a three‐year program of disability‐inclusive CBPR aiming to increase access to sexual and reproductive health and violence‐response services for women with disabilities in the Philippines. We discuss strategies for increasing disability inclusion in research and use a framework of reflexive solidarity to consider the uneven distribution of the benefits, costs, and responsibilities for action arising from the W‐DARE program.
