Abstract

Background:
Adherence to nonmedication recommendations is typically low, as seen in various health populations. Because literature on adherence to treatment recommendations made after neuropsychological testing in multiple sclerosis (MS) is lacking, this study evaluated adherence and reasons for nonadherence. Relationships between adherence to recommendations and various other factors in patients with MS were also evaluated.

Methods:
Of 66 adult patients seen for neuropsychological testing at an MS center, 55 were eligible for this study. Forty-five patients (mean age, 43.4 years; 75.6% women) were reached by phone, and all agreed to an interview involving questions regarding adherence to treatment recommendations. Other information was obtained through retrospective medical record review.

Results:
Overall self-reported adherence to recommendations made from neuropsychological testing was 38%. Adherence rates varied by recommendation type: psychopharmacological management had the highest rate (80%), and referrals for cognitive rehabilitation had the lowest (6.5%). Reasons for nonadherence included needing more information and wanting to speak with one's physician regarding the recommendations. Adherence was associated with patients' ability to spontaneously recall at least some of their recommendations and with receiving both a written report and a phone call with test results.

Conclusions:
Adherence to recommendations made after neuropsychological testing for patients with MS is low. Points of intervention may be to give directed feedback for each recommendation and to provide both a written report and a phone call with results and recommendations. Asking patients to repeat back the recommendations may be a simple and efficient way to increase understanding and improve adherence.

Published: June 2018

AbstractDepression is common in multiple sclerosis (MS), affecting up to 50% of patients at some point in their lifetime. Although the rate of depression in MS is higher than that in the general population and that in patients with other chronic medical conditions, depression in MS is underdiagnosed and undertreated. Antidepressant agents are used empirically in the management of MS-related depression, but evidence specifically demonstrating the efficacy of these medications in patients with MS is sparse. Considerable work suggests that psychological interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may be effective in the management of depression in MS. Recently there has been an expansion of computerized adaptations of CBT, allowing patients to complete therapy sessions remotely via online programs. This article reviews our current understanding of depression in MS and the role of CBT in its management, focusing on recent developments in computerized formats for CBT. Four computerized CBT programs that have been previously tested in patients with MS are described: Deprexis, MoodGYM, Beating the Blues, and MS Invigor8. We conclude that despite challenges inherent to computerized CBT interventions, such platforms have the potential to positively affect mental health care delivery to the MS patient population.

Published: June 2018

Abstract

Context
Oral health is a critical aspect of overall health, yet many vulnerable communities struggle to access regular dental care and instead seek urgent treatment from physicians. In addition to addressing the consequences of untreated dental disease, physicians are in an ideal position to provide preventive and referral dental services to patients. Osteopathic physicians make up a substantial portion of the physician workforce and can play a central role in increasing oral health care provision in medical settings.

Objective
To assess the extent of oral health curricula in osteopathic medical schools in the United States, including content taught, evaluation practices, and influences and barriers to providing oral health training perceived by educators at these institutions.

Methods
An invitation to participate in the survey was sent electronically to deans of education at all osteopathic medical schools in the United States. Four email reminders followed the initial invitation. In addition to descriptive statistics, the associations between the number of curriculum hours, affiliation with a dental school, and curricular content were evaluated.

Results
Of the 42 institutions contacted, 22 responded (response rate, 52%). The majority of respondents (20 of 22 [91%]) reported the presence of some oral health education at their institutions. Eighteen of 20 respondents (90%) reported that their institution offered at least 1 hour of oral health curriculum over the course of students’ education. Greater numbers of curriculum hours were not significantly associated with dental school affiliation or a formalized relationship with oral health educators. Institutions affiliated with dental schools were significantly more likely to include oral health in interprofessional education exercises (P=.023) but were not significantly more likely to cover any specific oral health topics. Seven of 17 respondents (41%) were satisfied with the level of oral health competence their graduates possessed.

Conclusion
Oral health education is present at many osteopathic medical schools, but the content covered and the extent of training varies considerably.
Disentangling the link between supplemental feeding, population density, and the prevalence of pathogens in urban stray cats

Published: June 2018

Background
Supplemental feeding of free-roaming animals, including wildlife and feral or stray animals, is well known to have a substantial impact on various aspects of animal ecology including habitat use, activity patterns, and host-pathogen interactions. Among them, an increased population density (PD) of animals receiving supplemental food raises concerns regarding the transmission of pathogens in these host populations. The primary aim of this study was to investigate how supplemental feeding is associated with host PD and prevalence of pathogens with different transmission modes in urban stray cats. We hypothesized that supplemental feeding would be positively associated with host PD and the prevalence of pathogens with density-dependent transmission modes compared with pathogens with transmission modes that are considered relatively density-independent.

Methods
This study was conducted in six districts in Seoul, Republic of Korea which were selected based on different degrees of supplemental feeding and cat caretaker activity (CCA). The PD of stray cats was estimated by mark-recapture surveys. Stray cat blood samples (N = 302) were collected from stray cats by local animal hospitals from each district performing the trap-neuter-release which tested for eight pathogens with different transmission modes (feline immunodeficiency virus, feline leukemia virus (FeLV), feline panleukopenia virus, feline calicivirus, feline herpesvirus-1, Bartonella henselae, hemoplasma, and Toxoplasma gondii) with molecular or serological assays. Associations between the prevalence of each pathogen and PD, CCA, and sex of cats were statistically analyzed.

Results
In contrast to initial predictions, the cat PD was generally higher in low CCA districts. The prevalence of (FeLV), which is transmitted through direct contact, was significantly higher in areas with a high CCA, conforming to our hypothesis. On the other hand, the prevalence of feline parvovirus, which can be spread by environmental transmission, was higher in low CCA districts. The remaining six pathogens did not show any association with the CCA; however, they had a unique association with the PD or the sex of the stray cats.

Discussion
Our findings suggest that in addition to influencing the PD, supplemental feeding may affect the prevalence of pathogens in urban animals by mechanisms such as increased aggregation and/or altered foraging strategies, with different consequences depending on the transmission mode of each pathogen.
Differing responses of red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) and white abalone (H. sorenseni) to infection with phage-associated Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis

The Rickettsiales-like prokaryote and causative agent of Withering Syndrome (WS)—Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis (Ca. Xc)—decimated black abalone populations along the Pacific coast of North America. White abalone—Haliotis sorenseni—are also susceptible to WS and have become nearly extinct in the wild due to overfishing in the 1970s. Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis proliferates within epithelial cells of the abalone gastrointestinal tract and causes clinical signs of starvation. In 2012, evidence of a putative bacteriophage associated with Ca. Xc in red abalone—Haliotis rufescens—was described. Recently, histologic examination of animals with Ca. Xc infection in California abalone populations universally appear to have the phage-containing inclusions. In this study, we investigated the current virulence of Ca. Xc in red abalone and white abalone at different environmental temperatures. Using a comparative experimental design, we observed differences over time between the two abalone species in mortality, body condition, and bacterial load by quantitative real time PCR (qPCR). By day 251, all white abalone exposed to the current variant of Ca. Xc held in the warm water (18.5 °C) treatment died, while red abalone exposed to the same conditions had a mortality rate of only 10%, despite a relatively heavy bacterial burden as determined by qPCR of posterior esophagus tissue and histological assessment at the termination of the experiment. These data support the current status of Ca. Xc as less virulent in red abalone, and may provide correlative evidence of a protective phage interaction. However, white abalone appear to remain highly susceptible to this disease. These findings have important implications for implementation of a white abalone recovery program, particularly with respect to the thermal regimes of locations where captively-reared individuals will be outplanted.
Current Advances in Biosensor Design and Fabrication
Authors: Slaughter Gymama 
Published: June 2018

AbstractIn medicine and biotechnology, traditional in vitro diagnostics require trained personnel in centralized laboratories to perform time‐consuming experiments with costly, large, and bulky devices. Therefore, the development of highly sensitive biosensor devices is essential for successful bioanalytical applications. Biosensors are based on the coupling of a biorecognition element that is responsible for the specific recognition of the analytes of interest and a physicochemical transducer that converts the chemical signal into an electrical output signal. This electrical output signal is then processed and transferred to a display by the electronic system. In addition, biosensors have become highly versatile platforms for a broad range of applications in different research areas because of their ease of use and capability to operate in complex media. The advancements made in micro‐ and nanoscale fabrication have enabled the integration of biological and/or chemical species with microelectronics to result in the mass production of biochips in a cost‐effective manner. In the medical diagnostic field, biosensors and biochips continue to play a critical role that leads to effective clinical outcomes and promotes general public health by enabling rapid diagnosis of diseases in the early stages. In recent years, significant research has been conducted on the design and fabrication of biosensors for the detection of various biomarkers of diseases by taking advantage of the various biosensor features, including sensitivity, selectivity, low cost, and rapid response time. In this article, focus is placed on the principles of operation, transduction, and immobilization mechanisms of biosensors, and the techniques and materials used for the fabrication of biosensors with emphasis placed on the most commonly reported electrochemical biosensors. The nanoscale electrode structures that have gained great interest for enzyme immobilization are introduced, and an overview into the development of novel, sophisticated, and miniaturized self‐powered biosensor system is discussed.

Adaptive boundary control for flexible three‐dimensional Euler‐Bernoulli beam with input signal quantization
Authors: Ji Ning , Liu Jinkun 
Published: June 2018

SummaryThis paper proposes an adaptive boundary control scheme for the flexible three‐dimensional Euler‐Bernoulli beam with input signal quantization. Considering the coupling effect between the axial deformation and the transverse displacement, the dynamics of the flexible system are represented by partial differential equations and ordinary differential equations. Input signals in modern control systems are often quantized before being transmitted through communication channels in technology engineering. Logarithmic quantitative controllers are designed to suppress the vibration of the beam. It is proved that the proposed control scheme can be guaranteed in handling the vibration of the beam and input signal quantization simultaneously. Finally, numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the results.
