Expanding Self-Management Support From Chronic to Acute Care: Implications for Value
Authors: Stern Brocha Z. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
In this article, I advocate the expansion of self-management support from chronic to acute care as a means of increasing the value of services and highlighting the value of occupational therapy. Like people with chronic conditions, clients with acute conditions (1) need to participate in their own care, (2) require support for participation, (3) engage in care outside of traditional medical behaviors, and (4) benefit from a focus of care that extends beyond discrete episodes. Self-management support can facilitate adherence, promote holistic conceptualizations of health, and address long-term outcomes and costs. Given that self-management support aligns with occupational therapy’s philosophical roots, expansion of self-management support to acute care highlights the profession’s contribution to health promotion in this practice area.

Introduction: In the province of Quebec, eight pediatric urologists practice in three tertiary centres covering large territories. To improve the availability of pediatric urology to distant families and to reduce the economic burden on them, we examined the chart of all patients attending the pediatric urological outpatient clinic. Our objectives were to evaluate the distance travelled by each urological pediatric outpatient and to report the most frequent urological referral complains.
Methods: From July 2016 to June 2017, we retrospectively reviewed the charts of all the 3609 pediatric patients seen in the outpatient urological clinic in CHU de Québec. We specifically focused on the travelling distance covered by families and the purpose of referral.
Results: Most patients were boys (78%) and the mean age was 7.2 years. The average one-way distance traveled by each family was 69 km. The patients came more frequently from Capitale-Nationale (63,7%) and Chaudière-Appalaches (21,9%), the closest regions. The most common reasons for consultations were postoperative followups (15%), phimosis and adherences (14%), enuresia (14%), hydronephrosis (13%), micturition disorder (11%), and cryptorchidism and retractile testicles (8%). Of all patients seen for phimosis or cryptorchidism, only 24% and 36% of them, respectively, were scheduled for surgery.
Conclusions: Phimosis, cryptorchidism, and voiding disorders are the most frequent pediatric urological reasons for consultation; primary care continuing medical education seems worthwhile. It would, perhaps, be more beneficial for all to have the pediatric urologists travelling to perform clinics and surgeries in distant regions to save more than 300 km round trip to several families.

Geheimhouding en openbaarheid in het Europees bankentoezicht
Bankentoezichthouders krijgen aardig wat verzoeken om informatie en documenten over banken en bankentoezicht. Maar het beroepsgeheim van bankentoezichthouders verhindert deze openbaarheid van bestuur. In 2018 hebben het Hof van Justitie en het Gerecht de regels over het beroepsgeheim verduidelijkt. Dit artikel bespreekt verschillende aspecten uit vijf arresten van 2018 over geheimhoudingsplichten in het bankentoezicht die op gespannen voet kunnen staan met het ‘transparantiebeginsel’. De aspecten zien op het belang van geheimhouding bij bankentoezicht, op het concept ‘vertrouwelijke informatie’ en dat tijdsverloop de vertrouwelijkheid teniet kan doen, en op de overweging dat het ‘recht op een eerlijk proces’ moet worden afgewogen tegen het belang bij geheimhouding.

Constitucionalización del Derecho y cultura constitucional
Authors: Pegoraro Lucio 
Published: April 2019

El ensayo analiza las dificultades que se encuentran a la hora de exportar los principios del constitucionalismo donde la cultura «constitucional» es diferente a la occidental. Además de denunciar las contradicciones internas y el abandono de algunos principios clave que lo inspiraron (desde «no taxation without representation» a «fraternité»), y el ataque a la misma idea de constitución por parte del neoconstitucionalismo, se centra en las características de algunas concepciones del Derecho antitéticas al constitucionalismo, o que proponen diferentes axiologías de valores. En particular, señala que algunas experiencias recientes basadas en la constitucionalización de las tradiciones proponen soluciones compatibles con las occidentales, de las cuales acentúan algunas características latentes.
El federalismo brasileño

Published: April 2019

Las vicisitudes del Palácio da Alvorada que han ubicado a Brasil en la primera línea de las inquietudes mundiales se enmarcan más allá del diseño moderno que Niemeyer le imprimió en los años 60 de la pasada centuria en un marco que sobre un patrón federal ha evolucionado tratando de unir forma de gobierno y forma territorial de Estado. En el presente trabajo se analizan las claves del federalismo brasileño haciendo un imprescindible repaso histórico de su configuración e incidiendo en los rasgos característicos de esta Federación. Sus elementos estructurales, el complejo diseño competencial que implementa funcionalmente toda Federación, la evolución metajurídica del modelo de la mano de las relaciones intergubernamentales y el aspecto financiero con el que se ha de acompañar todo proyecto federal. Dos ideas matriz han constituido el epicentro de la evolución constitucional de Brasil, democracia y federalismo. La magnitud física y poblacional de este Estado impone mayores exigencias a las fórmulas organizativas que han pugnado por aplicarse en la mitad del subcontinente de América del Sur. Para conocer Brasil, es preciso adentrarnos en su configuración como Estado Federal.
Patient Food Preferences can Help Plan Hospital Menus for Older Patients
Authors: Gosney M. 
Published: April 2019

Aims: Malnutrition causes a huge burden on health and social services; wastage of hospital food is high and intake poor, particularly in older patients. This study looks at the lunch choices of older patients and considers how hospital meals could be altered to improve consumption.
Study Design: Over a four week period, the food choices of patients on elderly care wards were studied. The amount of food consumed and choice was evaluated in the context of food availability.
Place and Duration of Study: The project was undertaken in Elderly Care Medicine wards in a District General Hospital in the South East of England. Participants were older patients with a variety of medical conditions who had the capacity to consent to a discussion about their food choices, consumption of food and preference for different food items.
Methods: Of the 402 patients studied, 23% were given food they did not like and that they would not usually chose.
Results: Popular menu choices included “unusual soups” and “baked or roasted meat”. Unpopular menu choices included sandwiches and desserts with no fruit. The items that were most consumed were desserts containing fruit and vegetarian main courses. Vegetarian pastry dishes and sandwiches were poorly consumed.
Conclusion: Many older patients who are able to choose from a hospital menu failed to see foods that they would normally consume. Certain foods are preferentially chosen and when delivered were consumed well. Older patients in this geographical area chose traditional foods and foods that are more difficult or more costly to prepare at home e.g. roast joints of meat and fruit containing desserts.

AbstractFlexible electronics are drawing tremendous interest for various applications in wearable healthcare biomonitoring, on‐demand therapy, and human–machine interactions. However, conventional plastic substrates with uncomfortableness, mechanical mismatches, and impermeability have limited the application of flexible on‐skin electronic devices for healthcare biomonitoring and on‐demand therapy. Herein, flexible breathable electronic devices with the capabilities of real‐time temperature sensing and timely on‐demand anti‐infection therapy at wound sites are presented. These devices are assembled from a crosslinked electrospun moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MOX)‐loaded thermoresponsive polymer nanomesh film with a conductive pattern. The conductive polymer nanomesh film demonstrates excellent flexibility, reliable breathability, and robust environmental stability. Furthermore, the assembled temperature sensor displays a linear relationship between the electrical resistance and temperature, potentially enabling real‐time biomonitoring of tissue temperature at the wound site. Smart artificial electronic skins (E‐skins) are assembled from the thermoresponsive polymer nanomesh film for spatial touching sensing mapping of temperature changes. Furthermore, the flexible temperature sensor is coupled with a wireless transmitter for real‐time wireless temperature monitoring. Notably, the thermoresponsive polymer nanomesh film can also be assembled as a highly efficient flexible heater to trigger the on‐demand release of antibiotics loaded in the fibers to eliminate bacterial colonization in the wound site once infection has occurred.
Miniaturized and Automated Synthesis of Biomolecules—Overview and Perspectives
Authors: Mattes Daniela S. , Jung Nicole , Weber Laura K. , Bräse Stefan , Breitling Frank 
Published: April 2019

AbstractChemical synthesis is performed by reacting different chemical building blocks with defined stoichiometry, while meeting additional conditions, such as temperature and reaction time. Such a procedure is especially suited for automation and miniaturization. Life sciences lead the way to synthesizing millions of different oligonucleotides in extremely miniaturized reaction sites, e.g., pinpointing active genes in whole genomes, while chemistry advances different types of automation. Recent progress in matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI‐MS) imaging could match miniaturized chemical synthesis with a powerful analytical tool to validate the outcome of many different synthesis pathways beyond applications in the life sciences. Thereby, due to the radical miniaturization of chemical synthesis, thousands of molecules can be synthesized. This in turn should allow ambitious research, e.g., finding novel synthesis routes or directly screening for photocatalysts. Herein, different technologies are discussed that might be involved in this endeavor. A special emphasis is given to the obstacles that need to be tackled when depositing tiny amounts of materials to many different extremely miniaturized reaction sites.

Published: April 2019

AbstractHierarchical superstructures in nano/microsize have attracted great attention owing to their wide potential applications. Herein, a self‐templated strategy is presented for the synthesis of a spherical superstructure of carbon nanorods (SS‐CNR) in micrometers through the morphology‐preserved thermal transformation of a spherical superstructure of metal–organic framework nanorods (SS‐MOFNR). The self‐ordered SS‐MOFNR with a chestnut‐shell‐like superstructure composed of 1D MOF nanorods on the shell is synthesized by a hydrothermal transformation process from crystalline MOF nanoparticles. After carbonization in argon, the hierarchical SS‐MOFNR transforms into SS‐CNR, which preserves the original chestnut‐shell‐like superstructure with 1D porous carbon nanorods on the shell. Taking the advantage of this functional superstructure, SS‐CNR immobilized with ultrafine palladium (Pd) nanoparticles (Pd@SS‐CNR) exhibits excellent catalytic activity for formic acid dehydrogenation. This synthetic strategy provides a facile method to synthesize uniform spherical superstructures constructed from 1D MOF nanorods or carbon nanorods for applications in catalysis and energy storage.

AbstractWhile metallic networks, proposed recently as a replacement for transparent conducting oxides, show superior optoelectronic performance and mechanical flexibility, their adhesion to flexible substrates remains a problem. In this work, a high adhesion metallic network inspired by the ground‐gripping functionality of bamboo roots is developed. This network shows not only excellent optoelectronic performance but also superb adhesion to flexible substrates could be beneficial for flexible electronics.
3D Printing of Freestanding Overhanging Structures Utilizing an In Situ Light Guide

Published: April 2019

AbstractConventional 3D printing methods require supporting material as a sacrificial layer to form a stable structure and to obtain the desired final product. The use of the supporting material causes several problems, such as damage to the surface of materials during the removal process. This results in considerable waste of materials, energy, and time. This paper proposes a new 3D printing method to create a freestanding overhanging structure that does not require supporting material. The printed hydrogel structure can guide and transmit light by utilizing an in situ light guide within the hydrogel, similar to an optical fiber. The results show that the curved angle at which the structure can grow at a constant rate can be controlled from 0° to ≈60°. In addition, hierarchical, branched, and helical structures can be easily created because the growth direction of the structure is freely adjustable. In future, by applying the proposed 3D printing method to a variety of functional material designs, the aim is to provide opportunities for various practical applications such as soft actuators, tissue engineering, and sensors.
Recent Progress in Active Optical Metasurfaces
Authors: Kang Lei , Jenkins Ronald P. , Werner Douglas H. 
Published: April 2019

AbstractEvolving from metamaterials, optical metasurfaces not only inherit their unprecedented flexibility in tailoring light–matter interaction but also the generally fixed response determined by the metaatoms' geometries—an undesirable property that hinders the development of practical metadevices. Consequently, novel optical metasurfaces that can be tuned in an active manner are intensively studied in recent years. Due to their optically thin structures, optical metasurfaces present unique characteristics in the realization of dynamic tuning. In this review, a detailed summary of the recent advances in active optical metasurfaces is provided including discussions reviewing a variety of active materials and approaches that enable faster, stronger, and more accurate tuning. Beyond facilitating practical metadevices, studies of active metasurfaces have, and will continue to deepen the understandings of the interaction between light and nanostructured photonic architectures and to promote the development of nanofabrication techniques involving high‐complexity.

AbstractDie rasante Entwicklung vieler moderner Technologien erfordert einen erheblichen Energieverbrauch, infolgedessen steigt die Nachfrage nach fortschrittlichen Energiespeichern stark an. In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten haben sich Lithiumionenbatterien, mit ihrer hohen Energie‐ und Leistungsdichte, als die robusteste Energiespeichertechnologie etabliert. Die Verbesserung der Kathodenmaterialien ist eine der Möglichkeiten, den Bedarf an noch besseren Batterien zu erfüllen. Die Entwicklung neuartiger Kathodenmaterialien durch Erhöhung der Zellspannung und ‐kapazität bei gleichzeitiger Stabilität ebnet daher den Weg zu den Li‐Akkus der nächsten Generation. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, sind das Verständnis der Materialprinzipien und das Erkennen der Probleme, mit denen moderne Kathodenmaterialien konfrontiert sind, wesentliche Voraussetzungen. Dieser Aufsatz stellt verschiedene Materialien für Hochenergiekathoden vor, die für die Konstruktion von Lithiumionenbatterien der nächsten Generation genutzt werden könnten. Hierzu gehören nickel‐ und lithiumreiche Schichtoxidmaterialien, Spinelloxide, Polyanionen, Steinsalzoxide mit Kationenfehlordnung und Konversionsmaterialien. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf den allgemeinen Reaktions‐ und Abbaumechanismen während des Betriebs sowie auf den wichtigsten Herausforderungen und Strategien zur Überwindung der Nachteile dieser Materialien.
Sub‐second variability in black‐hole X‐ray binary jets
Authors: Vincentelli F. M. , Casella P. 
Published: April 2019

In the last 10 years, multiwavelength fast variability studies of low‐mass X‐ray binaries have shown a dramatic development. A key discovery was the detection of O‐IR sub‐second fluctuations in two black‐hole transients, lagging the X‐rays by ≈0.1 s. This demonstrated how the fluctuations observed in the inflow could be transferred to the jet, allowing, therefore, also to study in a completely new way the physical processes that take place at the base of the jet. In this article, we review the latest developments of the study of jets with this new approach, focusing on the results obtained with cross‐spectral analysis techniques.
Carbon quantum dots fluorescence quenching for potassium optode construction
Authors: Rahimi Mehdi , Mahani Mohamad , Hassani Zahra 
Published: April 2019

AbstractPhotophysical phenomena associated with carbon nanoparticles in combination with biocompatibility and readily functionalizable properties have attracted significant interest for sensing and imaging applications. A potassium ion optode based on the fluorescence quenching of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) was constructed. The CQDs were synthesized using a microwave method, citric acid and 2,2′‐(ethylene‐dioxy)bis(ethylamine). A quantum yield of 7.1% was calculated for the synthesized CQDs. A linear dynamic range of about one‐order of magnitude with a correlation coefficient of 0.99 was obtained. The optode was applied on real samples and a 0.60–1.60% error range was obtained relative to the ion‐selective electrode.

Published: April 2019

AbstractIntroductionRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation has been widely used for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases. Rodent animals including mice and rats are often used to investigate the potential cellular and molecular mechanisms for the therapeutic effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. So far there is no report about an easy‐to‐use device to restrain rodent animals for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.Methods and ResultsWe introduced the design and use of the restraint device for mice or rats. In the mouse device, western blot and real‐time PCR analysis showed that，in stimulated mouse frontal cortex, 10 Hz high frequency stimulation for 10 sessions resulted in enhanced expression of NR2B‐containing N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid receptors and reduced α1 subunit of inhibitory GABAA receptors, whereas 0.5 Hz low frequency stimulation for 10 sessions caused decreased expression of NR2B subunit and increased α1 subunit of GABAA receptors. In the rat device, measures of motor evoke potentials indicated that 10 Hz stimulation for 10 sessions increased the excitability of stimulated cortex, whereas 0.5 Hz for 10 sessions reduced it.ConclusionsThese results suggested the effectiveness of the devices. Thus, the two devices are practical and easy‐to‐use to investigate the mechanisms of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.
