Pharmacist-assisted electronic prescribing at the time of admission to an inpatient orthopaedic unit and its impact on medication errors: a pre- and postintervention study
Authors: Tran Tim , Taylor Simone E. , Hardidge Andrew , Mitri Elise , Aminian Parnaz , George Johnson , Elliott Rohan A. 
Published: July 2019

Background: Prescribing and administration errors related to pre-admission medications are common amongst orthopaedic inpatients. Postprescribing medication reconciliation by clinical pharmacists after hospital admission prevents some but not all errors from reaching the patient. Involving pharmacists at the prescribing stage may more effectively prevent errors. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of pharmacist-assisted electronic prescribing at the time of hospital admission on medication errors in orthopaedic inpatients. Methods: A pre- and postintervention study was conducted in the orthopaedic unit of a major metropolitan Australian hospital. During the 10-week intervention phase, a project pharmacist used electronic prescribing to assist with prescribing admission medications and postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis, in consultation with orthopaedic medical officers. The primary endpoint was the number of medication errors per patient within 72 h of admission. Secondary endpoints included the number and consequence of adverse events (AEs) associated with admission medication errors and the time delay in administering VTE prophylaxis after elective surgery (number of hours after recommended postoperative dose-time). Results: A total of 198 and 210 patients, pre- and postintervention, were evaluated, respectively. The median number of admission medication errors per patient declined from six pre-intervention to one postintervention ( p < 0.01). A total of 17 AEs were related to admission medication errors during the pre-intervention period compared with 1 postintervention. There were 54 and 63 elective surgery patients pre- and postintervention, respectively. The median delay in administering VTE prophylaxis for these patients declined from 9 h pre-intervention to 2 h postintervention ( p < 0.01). Conclusions: Pharmacist-assisted electronic prescribing reduced the number of admission medication errors and associated AEs.

BackgroundIn nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), advanced fibrosis has been identified as an important prognostic factor with increased liver‐related mortality and treatment need. Due to the high prevalence of NAFLD, noninvasive risk stratification is needed to select patients for liver biopsy and treatment.ObjectiveTo compare the diagnostic accuracy of several widely available noninvasive tests for assessment of fibrosis among patients with NAFLD with or without nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).MethodsWe enrolled consecutive patients with NAFLD admitted to two Austrian referral centers who underwent liver biopsy. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) was obtained by vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE, FibroScan) and blood samples were collected for determination of enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) test, FibroMeterV2G, FibroMeterV3G, NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), and fibrosis‐4 index (FIB‐4).ResultsOur study cohort contained 186 patients with histologically confirmed NAFLD. On liver histology, NASH was present in 92 patients (50%), significant fibrosis (F ≥ 2) in 71 patients (38%), advanced fibrosis (F ≥ 3) in 49 patients (26%), and F ≥ 3 plus NASH in 35 patients (19%). For diagnosis of F ≥ 2, F ≥ 3, and F ≥ 3 plus NASH, respectively, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed superior diagnostic accuracy of ELF score (area under ROC curve (AUROC) 0.85, 0.90, 0.90), FibroMeterV2G (AUROC 0.86, 0.88, 0.89), FibroMeterV3G (AUROC 0.84, 0.88, 0.88), and LSM per protocol (AUROC 0.87, 0.95, 0.91) versus FIB‐4 (AUROC 0.80, 0.82, 0.81) or NFS (AUROC 0.78, 0.80, 0.79).ConclusionProprietary fibrosis panels and VCTE show superior diagnostic accuracy for noninvasive diagnosis of fibrosis stage in NAFLD as compared to FIB‐4 and NFS.
Neck and headache—Do we see paths through the jungle? An overview and an hypothesis
Authors: Sjaastad Ottar M , Fredriksen Torbjørn A 
Published: July 2019

Background and overview: It is widely accepted that cervicogenic headache (CEH) originates in the neck. In many circles, it is also accepted that neck–tongue syndrome belongs to the headaches that have their origin in the neck. For many headache researchers, the list: “headaches stemming from the neck” ends here. The objective of this overview was to explore the field and to determine whether there are grounds for adding other headaches to this list. Discussion: We suggest that headaches stemming from the neck possibly consist of five different subgroups: CEH, neck–tongue syndrome, tractor drivers’ headache, posterior headache subsequent to protracted neck-ache, and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania with mechanical attack precipitation. An overview of the clinical characteristics of each putative subgroup with comments is given.
Case Report: Morphine withdrawal induced convulsions in an adult male patient
Authors: Ali Mahmoud M. , Hamad Abdelrahman , Alhamoud Eman Nawash 
Published: July 2019

This case report describes a possible unknown complication of morphine withdrawal in a patient with persistent back pain, treated with intrathecal morphine pump infusion. The patient presented with left lower extremity edema. After excluding deep vein thrombosis by Doppler ultrasound and worsening of the swelling despite oral antibiotics, peripheral edema caused by intrathecal morphine was suspected. Twelve hours following the termination of his intrathecal morphine pump and initiation of inequivalent doses of oral morphine and tramadol, he developed convulsions. After metabolic and structural causes of convulsion were ruled out by blood tests and head imaging, equivalent doses of morphine were given. Then the patient regained full consciousness, and no additional seizures occurred. After that, opioid withdrawal emerged as the most likely explanation. Seizure is a life-threating condition; therefore, an awareness of this case is important and further studies are warranted to explore the potential association of opioid withdrawal and seizure.

Authors: Moorley Calvin , Chinn Theresa 
Published: July 2019

Background: In 2016 the Nursing and Midwifery Council in the UK introduced revalidation, which is the process nurses are required to follow to renew their registration. This provides an opportunity for nurses to shape, develop and evolve social media to meet their professional requirements. Aims: to examine different ways nurses can use social media tools for continuous professional development (CPD) and revalidation. Methods: using a qualitative reflective design, data were gathered from content on the @WeNurses platform and activities organised with other leading health organisations in England. These data were analysed using the social media relationship triangle developed by the authors with a thematic analysis approach. Findings: analysis revealed that social media was used in six categories: publishing, sharing, messaging, discussing, collaborating, and networking. Organised social media events such as: blogs, tweetchats, Twitter storms, webinars, infographics, podcasts, videos and virtual book clubs can support nurses with revalidation and professional development. Conclusion: Through using a participatory CPD approach and embracing professional social media applications nurses have moved social media from the concept of a revolution to an evolution.

Authors: Pinheiro Maria do Socorro 
Published: July 2019

Pretendemos refletir nesse artigo sobre o imaginário erótico na poesia de Gilka Machado, observando sua forma de constituição. Para tanto, investigamos como o eu poético feminino vive seu erotismo e por meio de que imagens ele se revela. Para esse estudo, nos debruçamos sobre os poemas de temática erótica, cuja simbologia e significação apontam para uma realidade do desejo feminino. Mantemos um diálogo com as ideias de Georges Bataille (2013) e Octavio Paz (1994, 2012) sobre o erotismo e com Gaston Bachelard (1988, 2001) sobre o imaginário, que revelam a importância desse assunto no âmbito social e cultural, e que pode nos ajudar a compreender as relações entre imaginário, poesia e erotismo.

O imaginário do amor e da guerra em Mariana Pineda de García Lorca
Authors: De Regino Sueli Maria 
Published: July 2019

Os anos que antecederam a estreia da obra Mariana Pineda, de García Lorca, em Barcelona, se caracterizaram, em toda Espanha, por tempos de grande agitação social. A ditadura do General Primo de Rivera, ao reprimir brutalmente os protestos contra o governo e estabelecer rigorosa censura aos textos teatrais e publicações em geral, motivou manifestações populares contra o rei Alfonso XIII. Mariana de Pineda tinha vinte e seis anos quando, em maio de 1831, foi executada, acusada de adesão ao movimento revolucionário e de manter contato com anarquistas expatriados em Gibraltar. Em seu poder foi encontrada uma bandeira com um triângulo verde, circundado por três palavras bordadas em vermelho: Liberdade, Igualdade, Lei. Este trabalho investiga, por meio da hermenêutica simbólica proposta por Gilbert Durand, a obra Mariana Pineda, de García Lorca, buscando, nas constelações de imagens que se formam em torno dos grandes eixos propostos por Durand, a dinâmica simbólica das imagens do amor e da guerra, presentes nessa obra.

Published: July 2019

Vision-based vehicle classification is a very challenging task due to vehicle pose and angle variations, weather conditions, lighting quality, and limited number of available datasets for training. It can be applied for driver assistance system and autonomous vehicles. This paper conducted a performance evaluation for this task based on three Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, which are simple CNN, and pre-trained CNN models that are AlexNet and GoogleNet. A dataset of more than 7000 images from the Image Processing Group (IPG) has been used for training and testing and the results indicate that AlexNet achieves the best classification result that is 65.09%. This result is obtained because of the variations of the quality of the images.

Authors: Mahira Ahmad Siti , Mohd Said Farhan 
Published: July 2019

Natural and synthetics colors are the two types of food coloring existed in the industries. Over time, most of synthetic colors were banned due to the clearly evident side effects and their possible carcinogenic effects. Pigment produced by Monascus purpureus is microbial origin and safe to use as food grade coloring. The aim of this research is to study the kinetic characterization of red pigment production throughout the solid state fermentation process at different level of nitrogen (peptone) concentration. The concentrations of nitrogen used are in between 1 to 5% of peptone. The highest (0.1182 ), ( 119.7 g ), ( 92.53), (1.35), and (0.016) are obtained at day 5 of fermentation period with the addition of 2% peptone. However, no further increase of the kinetic values with the increasing of peptone concentration from 2% to 5% was observed, except on where the value was high with higher concentration. This indicates that with higher concentration the conversion of biomass to red pigment is enhanced.

Published: July 2019

Cloud has become a crucial part of our day to day life because of its easy, effortless and straightforward nature of data storing and sharing. One of the important concerns for many users is data storing, we mustn’t forget about data sharing. A convenient way of online data sharing is to look at its pros for simple access while preserving security are cons for any user. Thus, a better way of ensuring user’s data is to implement data integrity with the KAC scheme. This scheme provides an efficient sharing method of decrypting multiple sets of data with the single key. It’s one among many ways of quick and effective data retrieval in case of data loss or data alteration on the cloud. It also uses the broadcast algorithm to distribute data for a specific set of users. This scheme uses basic HMAC, one of the secure hash functions for the stability of data integrity. Therefore provides a protected environment where a user can share the bulk of data through integrity. Another advantage of using this scheme could reduce the burden of computation over the cloud.

Published: July 2019

The conjugate gradient (CG) method is one of the most prominent methods for solving linear and nonlinear problems in optimization. In this paper, we propose a CG method with sufficient descent property under strong Wolfe line search. The proposed CG method is then applied to solve systems of linear equations. The numerical results obtained from the tests are evaluated based on number iteration and CPU time and then analyzed through performance profile. In order to examine its efficiency, the performance of our CG formula is compared to that of other CG methods. The results show that the proposed CG formula has better performance than the other tested CG methods.Â Â

Authors: Hasnita Abdul Talib Noor , Ahmad Mazida , Din Roshidi 
Published: July 2019

Steganography is a technique that involves a secret hidden message concealed inside the media cover using formats such as text, images, video or audio. Secret messages sent from the sender to the receiver are considered as knowledge being transferred from the expert to the novice. However, previous studies related to the knowledge transfer from experts to novices in the field of computer security, particularly in the field of steganography, are limited. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the knowledge transfer process occurring in steganography by using an information management transfer model. The methodology consists of theory development, model validation, instrument development, survey and model verification. This paper proposes a novel Stego-based SECI Model that demonstrates how the knowledge transfer process occurs in steganography.Â Â

Published: July 2019

Virtual finger model is commonly used in many applications for stroke fine motor rehabilitation especially in Virtual Reality (VR) applications. Capturing movement data for fingers is one of the important phases in any virtual fine motor rehabilitation process. Manual observation provides inconsistent evaluation given by different therapists for different rehabilitation sessions. Although the process of capturing data is performed, without time series of captured data, the data will not have a significant impact in producing consistent and meaningful evaluation. Furthermore, the consistency of the assessment of rehabilitation sessions will deliver more robust rehabilitation progress analysis. This data is very useful when paired with time information which can be analyzed to produce optimal evaluation. This paper proposes Time-based Simplified Denavit-Heartenberg Translation (TS-DH) consisting of forward kinematic with simplified DH parameter for capturing coordinate of end of each bone from virtual finger model paired with timeframe data. The DH model is enhanced by implementing 2 additional rules in assigning joint parameter. The data will be recorded with timeframe of every finger movement. As a conclusion, TS-DH model can be used in any virtual finger environment accurately.Â Â
