Seeking connectivity to everyday health and wellness experiences: Specificities and consequences of connective gaps in self-tracking data
Authors: Yli-Kauhaluoma Sari , Pantzar Mika 
Published: May 2018

Objective Self-tracking technologies have created high hopes, even hype, for aiding people to govern their own health risks and promote optimal wellness. High expectations do not, however, necessarily materialize due to connective gaps between personal experiences and self-tracking data. This study examines situations when self-trackers face difficulties in engaging with, and reflecting on, their data with the aim of identifying the specificities and consequences of such connective gaps in self-tracking contexts. Methods The study is based on empirical analyses of interviews of inexperienced, experienced and extreme self-trackers (in total 27), who participated in a pilot study aiming at promoting health and wellness. Results The study shows that people using self-tracking devices actively search for constant connectivity to their everyday experiences and particularly health and wellness through personal data but often become disappointed. The results suggest that in connective gaps the personal data remains invisible or inaccurate, generating feelings of confusion and doubt in the users of the self-tracking devices. These are alarming symptoms that may lead to indifference when disconnectivity becomes solidified and data ends up becoming dead, providing nothing useful for the users of self-tracking technologies. Conclusions High expectations which are put on wearables to advance health and wellness may remain unmaterialised due to connective gaps. This is problematic if individuals are increasingly expected to be active in personal data collection and interpretation regarding their own health and wellness.

Published: May 2018

When the human head is subjected to blunt force impact, there are several mechanical responses that may result from the forces involved, including absorption of impact forces through the various layers of the head. The purpose of this study was to develop an anatomical head model to measure force transfer through the various head layers and their displacement when subject to short-duration high-velocity impacts. An anatomical head model was constructed using previously validated simulant materials: epoxy resin (skull), polyvinyl siloxane (scalp), agar/glycerol/water (brain) and modified intravenous fluid for the cerebrospinal fluid. An array of accelerometers (4 mm × 4 mm × 1.45 mm) was incorporated into the various layers of the head to measure forces in x- (anterior/posterior), y- (left/right) and z- (up/down) axis. All sensors were connected to a signal conditioning board and USB powered data loggers. The head model was placed into a rigid metal stand with an optical sensor to trigger data capturing. A weight (750 g) was dropped from a height of 0.5 m (n= 20). Impact forces (z-axis) of 1107.05 N were recorded on top of the skin, with decreasing values through the different layers (bottom of skin 78.48 N, top of skull 319.82 N, bottom of skull 87.30 N, top and centre of brain 47.09 N and base of brain 78.41 N. Forces in the x- and y-axes were similar to those of the z-axis. With the base of the brain still receiving 78.41 N, this highlights the potential danger of repetitive impact forces to the head. Upon impact the layers of the head are displaced in the x-, y- and z-direction, with the highest values shown in the z-axis. In conclusion, this study identified the importance of considering short-duration high-intensity impacts to the head and their effect on underlying tissues.

ABSTRACTBeusite-(Ca), ideally Ca${\rm Mn}_{\rm 2}^{2 +} $(PO4)2, is a new graftonite-group mineral from the Yellowknife pegmatite field, Northwest Territories, Canada. It occurs in a beryl–columbite–phosphate rare-element pegmatite where it is commonly intergrown with triphylite–lithiophilite or sarcopside, and may form by exsolution from a high-temperature (Li,Ca)-rich graftonite-like parent phase. It occurs as pale-brown lamellae 0.1–1.5 mm wide in triphylite, and is pale brown with a vitreous lustre and a very pale-brown streak. It is brittle, has a Mohs hardness of 5, and the calculated density is 3.610 g/cm3. Beusite-(Ca) is colourless in plane-polarized light, and is biaxial (+) with α = 1.685(2), β = 1.688(2), γ = 1.700(5), and the optic axial angle is 46.0(5)°. It is non-pleochroic with X || b; Y ˄ a = 40.3° in β obtuse; Z ˄ a = 49.7° in β acute. Beusite-(Ca) is monoclinic, has space group P21/c, a = 8.799(2), b = 11.724(2), c = 6.170(1) Å, β = 99.23(3)°, V = 628.3(1) Å3 and Z = 4. Chemical analysis by electron microprobe gave P2O5 41.63, FeO 19.43, MnO 23.63, CaO 15.45, sum 100.14 wt.%. The empirical formula was normalized on the basis of 8 anions pfu: (Ca0.94Fe0.92Mn1.13)Σ2.99(PO4)2.00. The crystal structure was refined to an R1 index of 1.55%. Beusite-(Ca) is a member of the graftonite group with Ca completely ordered at the [8]-coordinated M(1) site.
Paediatric flexible flat foot: how are we measuring it and are we getting it right? A systematic review

Published: May 2018

AbstractBackgroundFlexible flat foot is a normal observation in typically developing children, however, some children with flat feet present with pain and impaired lower limb function. The challenge for health professionals is to identify when foot posture is outside of expected findings and may warrant intervention. Diagnoses of flexible flat foot is often based on radiographic or clinical measures, yet the validity and reliability of these measures for a paediatric population is not clearly understood. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate how paediatric foot posture is defined and measured within the literature, and if the psychometric properties of these measures support any given diagnoses.MethodsElectronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, Cochrane, AMED, SportDiscus, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) were systematically searched in January 2017 for empirical studies where participants had diagnosed flexible flat foot and were aged 18 years or younger. Outcomes of interest were the foot posture measures and definitions used. Further articles were sought where cited in relation to the psychometric properties of the measures used.ResultsOf the 1101 unique records identified by the searches, 27 studies met the inclusion criteria involving 20 foot posture measures and 40 definitions of paediatric flexible flat foot. A further 18 citations were sought in relation to the psychometric properties of these measures. Three measures were deemed valid and reliable, the FPI‐6 > + 6 for children aged three to 15 years, a Staheli arch index of > 1.07 for children aged three to six and ≥ 1.28 for children six to nine, and a Chippaux‐Smirak index of > 62.7% in three to seven year olds, > 59% in six to nine year olds and ≥ 40% for children aged nine to 16 years. No further measures were found to be valid for the paediatric population.ConclusionNo universally accepted criteria for diagnosing paediatric flat foot was found within existing literature, and psychometric data for foot posture measures and definitions used was limited. The outcomes of this review indicate that the FPI – 6, Staheli arch index or Chippaux‐Smirak index should be the preferred method of paediatric foot posture measurement in future research.
Mixing Studies in Patients With Prolonged Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time or Prothrombin Time
Authors: Benzon Honorio T. , Park Meghan , McCarthy Robert J. , Kendall Mark C. , Lindholm Paul F. 
Published: May 2018

BACKGROUND:
Patients presenting for surgery may have isolated or combined prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and/or prothrombin time (PT). In patients not receiving anticoagulants or with no identifiable cause for abnormal clot formation, a mixing study is performed. The index of circulating anticoagulant (ICA) has been used to predict the presence of an inhibitor, usually a lupus anticoagulant.

METHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed the results of mixing studies performed at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, between January 1, 2010 and February 29, 2012. We determined the number of samples that normalized or remained prolonged, the clotting factors associated with prolonged test results, and the presence of coagulation inhibitors. We calculated the ICA in the samples with prolonged aPTT and PT to determine its ability to predict a lupus anticoagulant. The primary comparison of interest was the diagnostic utility of the ICA at cutoff values of 11% for predicting the presence of lupus anticoagulant.

RESULTS:
There were 269 mixing studies performed: 131 samples with prolonged aPTT; 95 with prolonged PT; and 43 with both prolonged aPTT and prolonged PT. Of the samples with a prolonged aPTT, 55 of 131 (42%) normalized, 36 of 131 (27%) partially corrected, and 40 of 131 (31%) remained prolonged. Thirty-three of 95 samples (35%) with prolonged PT normalized, while 62 of 95 (65%) remained prolonged. Eight of 43 (19%) mixing studies of patients with prolonged PT and aPTT normalized; the aPTT normalized, but the PT remained prolonged in 17 of 43 (39%); the PT normalized, but the aPTT remained prolonged in 7 of 43 (16%); and both tests remained prolonged in 11 of 43 (26%) samples. Prolongations in the aPTT were primarily associated with low activities of CF XII, while the majority of the prolongations in PT were secondary to low activities in CF VII. Combined prolongations were secondary to deficiencies in both the intrinsic and extrinsic as well as the common pathways. An ICA >11% had 100% (95% CI, 59%–100%) sensitivity, 53% (95% CI, 35%–70%) specificity, and 77% (95% CI, 62%–92%) accuracy in predicting the presence of lupus anticoagulant in patients with prolonged aPTT.

CONCLUSIONS:
Normalization of the aPTT and PT in a mixing study was associated with low clotting factor activity. The ICA may be helpful in predicting the presence of a lupus anticoagulant. As anesthesiologists take ownership of the perioperative surgical home, we need to understand the clinical implications of the results of mixing studies.
An opportunity for clinical pharmacology trained physicians to improve patient drug safety: A retrospective analysis of adverse drug reactions in teenagers
Authors: Eugene Andy R. , Eugene Beata 
Published: May 2018

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a major cause of hospital admissions, prolonged hospital stays, morbidity, and drug-related mortality. In this study, we sought to identify the most frequently reported medications and associated side effects in adolescent-aged patients in an effort to prioritize clinical pharmacology consultation efforts for hospitals seeking to improve patient safety. Methods: Quarterly reported data were obtained from the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS) from the third quarter of 2014 and ending in the third quarter of 2017. We then used the GeneCards database to map the pharmacogenomic biomarkers associated with the most reported FAERS drugs. Data homogenization and statistics analysis were all conducted in R for statistical programming. Results: We identified risperidone (10.64%) as the compound with the most reported ADRs from all reported cases. Males represented 90.1% of reported risperidone cases with gynecomastia being the most reported ADR. Ibuprofen OR=188 (95% CI, 105.0000 – 335.000) and quetiapine fumarate OR=116 (95% CI, 48.4000 – 278.000) were associated with the highest odds of completed suicide in teenagers. Ondansetron hydrochloride OR=7.12 (95% CI, 1.59 – 31.9) resulted in the highest odds of pneumothorax. Lastly, olanzapine (8.96%) represented the compound with the most reported drug-drug interactions cases, while valproic acid OR=221 (95% CI, 93.9000 – 522.000) was associated with the highest odds of drug-drug interactions. Conclusion: Despite any data limitations, physicians prescribing risperidone in males should be aware of the high rates of adverse drug events and an alternative psychotropic should be considered in male patients. Further, patients with a history of pneumothorax or genetically predisposed to pneumothorax should be considered for an alternative antiemetic to ondansetron hydrochloride, due to increased odds associated with the drug and adverse event.
A conciliação entre realismo e relativismo segundo Paul Feyerabend
Authors: Araújo Priscila 
Published: May 2018

DOI:10.12957/emconstrucao.2017.28128Pretendo discutir a ideia de que Paul Feyerabend, ao contrário da leitura que comumente é feita de suas obras, concilia realismo e relativismo. Conhecido pelo tom, às vezes irônico, com que tratava algumas questões conceituais, preferiu escolher uma palavra para definir suas teses que servisse mais para a compreensão por parte de seus críticos do que para os seus leitores mais atentos: o pluralismo. É fato que ele, em certa fase de sua produção também adotou o termo “relativismo” para denominar suas teses. Isso permitiu que muitos de seus leitores interpretassem suas ideias como se fosse uma defesa de um relativismo radical, o que não é correto. Feyerabend mantém, em seus textos, uma postura que não corresponde àquele relativismo que comumente lhe é atribuído. Procurarei explicitar as teses que Feyerabend assumia e explicar como sua postura se aproxima muito mais de uma possível conciliação entre realismo e relativismo do que de uma postura realista ou relativista. Mas seria Feyerabend um realista ou um relativista? Para Feyerabend, tais concepções não precisam ser encaradas como excludentes, dependendo de como se concebe a realidade e as nossas possibilidades de acesso cognitivo a ela. Em seu último trabalho, o livro publicado após a sua morte chamado Conquista da Abundância, Feyerabend retoma algumas de suas teses e trabalha de forma mais incisiva a sua posição com relação aos problemas do realismo, do relativismo e do pluralismo. Nessa obra, em especial, fica mais clara a sua concepção de realidade e em que sentido ele é um realista. Com isso, argumento que ele não é um relativista radical e que tem uma concepção de realidade. É neste sentido que ele defende uma conciliação entre realismo e relativismo, pois, mesmo atestando a existência da realidade e a possibilidade de acesso cognitivo a ela, ele não dá privilegio a uma ou outra forma de conhecimento. Ao final, explicarei como o pluralismo pode ser interpretado como um corolário desta conciliação.

Com base na teoria crítica da segurança sobre a construção do outro como sujeito diferente e perigoso, esse artigo desenvolve um estudo crítico dos discursos dominantes sobre os fenômenos de tráfico sexual e migração pelo trabalho sexual na Europa. Busca-se realizar uma análise do processo de securitização através do qual a migrante prostituta é identificada como uma “vítima criminosa”, que coloca em risco a ordem pública, o modelo da família tradicional, a sexualidade feminina e a soberania dos Estados europeus.ABSTRACT This article develops a critical study of the dominant discourse on sex trafficking and transnational sex work in Europe, by relying on the critical security theory about the construction of the “other” as a different and dangerous subject. It seeks to analyze the process of securitization of migrant prostitutes, through which they are identified as "criminal victims" who challenge the public order, the traditional family structure and female sexuality, and ultimately the sovereignty of European states. The degree of dangerousness of irregular migrants involved in prostitution is defined through a construction of their risk profile, which serves as a justification to implement policies of body and movement control, by restricting immigration entrance, criminalizing or deporting them to their countries of origin.Palavras-chave: Migração, Securitização, Tráfico sexualKeywords: Migration, Securitization, Sex traffickingRecebido em 25 de Janeiro de 2018 | Received on January 25, 2018 Aceito em 02 de Abril de 2018 | Accepted on April 2, 2018DOI
Tests, scans and investigations, 13. How to undertake pulse oximetry
Authors: Peate Ian 
Published: May 2018

Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive technique for measuring the oxygen saturation in the blood and involves attaching a probe to a part of the body with an optimal blood supply, such as the fingertip or the ear lobe. The healthcare assistant and associate practitioner (HCA and AP) may be required to undertake this activity in a variety of settings. This article provides the HCA and AP with information on how to undertake safe pulse oximetry in an effective and person-centred way. It is essential that the HCA and AP receive appropriate training and that they have been deemed competent before accepting this or any other delegated task. This activity must be carried out using local policy and procedure.

Abstract
HW Vir systems are rare eclipsing binary systems including a subdwarf B star (sdB) with a faint companion, mostly M-dwarfs. Up to now, 19 HW Vir systems have been published, three of them with substellar companions. We report the spectroscopic as well as photometric observation of the eclipsing sdB binary PTF1 J011339.09+225739.1 (PTF1 J0113) in a close (a=0.722 ± 0.023 R⊙), short period (P = 0.0933731(3)d) orbit. A quantitative spectral analysis of the sdB yields Te.=29280 ± 720 K, log(g)=5.77 ± 0.09 dex, and log(y)=−2.32 ± 0.12. The circular orbital velocity of the sdB of K1=74.2 ± 1.7 km s−1 is derived from the radial velocity curve. Except for the strong reflection effect, no other light contribution of the companion could be detected. The light curves - recorded with ULTRACAM - were analyzed using the Wilson-Devinney code. We find an inclination angle of i=79.88 ± 0.18∘. Because our first attempts to determine q failed, we calculated large grids of synthetic lightcurves for several mass ratios. Because of degeneracy, good solutions for different mass ratios were found - the one at q = 0.24 is consistent with the sdB’s canonical mass (MsdB = 0.47 M⊙). Accordingly, the mass of the companion is M2=0.112 ± 0.003 M⊙. The radii of the two components were also derived: RsdB=0.178 ± 0.006 R⊙ and R2 = 0.158 ± 0.009 R⊙. Thus, the results for the secondary are consistent with an M-dwarf as secondary
The strange hot horizontal-branch binary star in NGC 6752
Authors: Bidin Christian Moni 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
M5865 is the only so-far confirmed close binary found in the extreme horizontal branch (EHB) of a globular cluster. A detailed study has recently proposed that this object could be a close system (period P=1.61 days) comprising a EHB and a main-sequence star of mass M≈0.6 Mʘ. Such a system has never been found among hundreds of known EHB binaries in the field, and it results in a very interesting, unique object. In this contribution, we resume the previous literature results on M5865, we discuss the reasons of interest on it, and we present some very preliminary results obtained from new observations.
