Published: December 2017

Introduction: Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are any computer program designed to assist health care professionals in making clinical decisions, especially at the moment of action. These information systems are flexible and interactive, helping people by making use of models and rules of a comprehensive database, or on the basis of clinical guidelines, to make applicable decisions, especially solving difficult problems with common scientific methods. Therefore, these systems support complex medical decisions, increase their effectiveness, and can lead to a reduction in the types of medical errors, such as medication errors. However, knowledge and attitude of the future physicians in the country about these systems is unclear. The purpose of this study was Determining attitude and readiness of Medical students concerning acceptance of Decision Support Systems for Electronic Prescription.
Methods: This research is descriptive-analytic. The research population included general medical students of Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2017. Out of these students, a sample of 226 people was selected by proportional sampling. Data collection was done using a standard questionnaire. The questionnaire was first translated into Persian and then its validity was confirmed by three medical informatics specialists. Data analysis was done descriptively-analytically using SPSS 19.
Results: The findings of this study showed that 17% of students (n=36) knew about this system and how to use it, and 83% of them (n=177) were willing to learn and use this system to practice their profession in the future. More than half of them (n=121) believed that using this system would Reduce errors in prescribing. 80% of them (n=170) lacked a strategic plan to implement a decision support system for electronic prescription and a lack of standard and acceptable software, and about 60% (n=128) lack of financial incentives and lack of sufficient evidence Concerned about the usefulness of using it as a potential obstacle to the implementation of this system. There was no significant difference between the age, sex and term of the students with their familiarity with this system (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that while many students lack sufficient knowledge about the clinical decision support system, they are interested in learning and using it, especially in the field of prescribing drugs. This result indicates that the system is likely to be admitted if it is implemented and educated to medical students and doctors.

BACKGROUND: Sexual education programs can improve sexual awareness and satisfaction. Yet, sex education is ignored in developing countries. Under such circumstances, we have used IT tools to improve sexual education.
OBJECTIVE: In this article, we used a mobile application (mHealth) to impart sex education.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was held, in which participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: The control group, with 25 participants, which received only counseling from sex therapists, and the intervention group, with 25 participants, which received the mobile application system in addition to counseling from sex therapists. Participants were persons referred to sex therapists at a clinic. In each group, sexual satisfaction and awareness were evaluated. We measured sexual satisfaction with the help of the Larson questionnaire and sexual awareness by the Ann Hooper questionnaire.
Results: Our data demonstrated that sexual satisfaction was not statistically significant (P=0.44), but awareness showed statistically significant differences (P=0.007) in the intervention vs. the control group. Also, the mean in both groups had statistically significant differences before and after the intervention (P=0.001).
Conclusion: Our results showed that mobile applications can improve sexual awareness but cannot affect sexual satisfaction in the short term.
Trial Registration: The clinical trial was registered with the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) under registration ID: IRCT2016110130640N1

Published: December 2017

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) shows increasing prevalence and global health burden, causing a concern among health service providers and health administrators. The current study is aimed at developing and comparing some statistical models that are useful in measuring or establishing such associations. The three particular statistical methods investigated in this study are artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machines (SVM) and multivariate logistic regression (MLR) using demographic, anthropometric and biochemical characteristics on a sample of 9528 individuals from Mashhad city.
Methods: The statistical methods involved in this study are also known as machine learning algorithms and require dividing the available data in to training and testing dataset. This study has randomly selected 70% cases (6654 cases) for training and reserved the remaining 30% (2874 cases) for testing. The three methods are compared with help of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results: The prevalence rate of T2DM is 14% in our population. The ANN model has 78.7% , accuracy, 63.1% sensitivity and 81.2% specificity. Values of these three parameters are 76.8%, 64.5% and 78.9% respectively for SVM and 77.7%, 60.1% and 80.5%, respectively for MLR. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) is 0.71 for ANN, in SVM model was 0.73 for SVM, and 0.70 for MLR.
Conclusion: The overall conclusion is that ANN performs better than two models and can be used effectively to identify associated risk factors of T2DM.

Published: December 2017

Background: The equitable Access to Healthcare Services (AHS) constitutes one of the main priorities of the healthcare providers. Access to Dialysis Facilities (ADF) has an important impact on the renal dialysis patients. There are many spatial and non-spatial factors that potentially can affect ADF.
Objectives: We aimed to review available literature on factors affecting ADF. We have also tried to identify knowledge gaps in current studies in order to use those elicited factors to cover these gaps in developing an integrated index of ADF.
Methods: In May 2016, the literature was systematically searched using the following electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of science, Scopus, Science Direct, and IEEE Xplore. A 3-step method to identify studies related to ADF was used. Study selection processes were performed by two independent reviewers. The quality of studies was assessed using a mixed approach scoring system.
Results: Initially, 975 literature were identified searching the selected databases. After removing duplicates, study screening, and applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, 34 studies were identified for final review. Given the content of selected studies, three groups of studies were identified and 42 factors with the potential effect on ADF were determined.
Conclusion: Our systematic research revealed that most of the factors with the potential effect on ADF are non-spatial. Such factors were underseen in many studies focusing mainly on the spatial dimensions of ADF. We recommended that all possible spatial and non-spatial factors together should be taken into account as part of an integrated index of ADF.

Moving Beyond the Buzzword: A Framework for Teaching Culturally Responsive Approaches to Evaluation
Authors: Boyce Ayesha S. , Chouinard Jill Anne 
Published: December 2017

The terms cultural responsiveness and cultural competence have become ubiquitous in many fields of social inquiry, including in evaluation. The discourse surrounding these issues in evaluation has also increased markedly in recent years, and the terms can now be found in many RFPs and government-based evaluation descriptions. We have found that novice evaluators are able to engage culturally re-sponsive approaches to evaluation at the conceptual level, but are unable to translate theoretical constructs into practice. In this article we share a framework for teaching culturally responsive approaches to evaluation. The framework includes two do-mains: conceptual and methodological, each with two interconnected dimensions. The dimensions of the conceptual domain include locating self and social inquiry as a cultural product. The dimensions of the methodological domain include formal and informal applications in evaluation practice. Each of the dimensions are linked to multiple domains within the Competencies for Canadian Evaluation practice. We discuss each and provide suggestions for activities that align with each of the dimensions.Les termes sensibilité culturelle et compétence culturelle sont mainten-ant omniprésents dans de nombreux domaines d’enquête sociale, notamment en évaluation. Le discours entourant ces questions en évaluation s’est aussi intensifié de façon marquée au cours des dernières années et ces termes sont maintenant présents dans de nombreuses demandes de proposition et descriptions d’évaluation émanant d’organismes gouvernementaux. Nous avons trouvé que les évaluateurs débutants sont en mesure de concevoir des approches d’évaluation culturellement adaptées, mais sont incapables de transférer ces notions théoriques à la pratique. Dans le présent article, nous décrivons un cadre pour l’enseignement d’approches évaluatives qui soient culturellement sensibles. Le cadre inclut deux sphères – conceptuelle et méthodologique – chacune ayant deux dimensions interconnectées. Les dimensions de la sphère conceptuelle implique de positionner l’évaluateur et le processus de recherche comme un produit culturel. Les dimensions de la sphère mé-thodologique comprennent des applications formelles et informelles pour la pratique
IL-3 Differentially Regulates Membrane and Soluble RANKL in Osteoblasts through Metalloproteases and the JAK2/STAT5 Pathway and Improves the RANKL/OPG Ratio in Adult Mice

Abstract
Bone remodeling comprises balanced activities between osteoclasts and osteoblasts, which is regulated by various factors, including hormones and cytokines. We previously reported that IL-3 inhibits osteoclast differentiation and pathological bone loss. IL-3 also enhances osteoblast differentiation and bone formation from mesenchymal stem cells. However, the role of IL-3 in regulation of osteoblast–osteoclast interactions and underlying mechanisms is not yet delineated. In this study, we investigated the role of IL-3 on the regulation of osteoblast-specific molecules, receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) that modulate bone homeostasis. We found that IL-3 increases RANKL expression at both the transcriptional and translational levels, and it showed no effect on OPG expression in calvarial osteoblasts. The increased RANKL expression by IL-3 induces mononuclear osteoclasts; however, it does not induce multinuclear osteoclasts. Interestingly, IL-3 decreases soluble RANKL by reducing ectodomain shedding of membrane RANKL through downregulation of metalloproteases mainly a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM)10, ADAM17, ADAM19, and MMP3. Moreover, IL-3 increases membrane RANKL by activating the JAK2/STAT5 pathway. Furthermore, IL-3 enhances RANKL expression in mesenchymal stem cells of wild-type mice but not in STAT5a knockout mice. Interestingly, IL-3 restores RANKL expression in adult mice by enhancing bone-specific RANKL and decreasing serum RANKL. Furthermore, IL-3 increases the serum OPG level in adult mice. Thus, our results reveal, to our knowledge for the first time, that IL-3 differentially regulates two functional forms of RANKL through metalloproteases and the JAK2/STAT5 pathway, and it helps in restoring the decreased RANKL/OPG ratio in adult mice. Notably, our studies indicate the novel role of IL-3 in regulating bone homeostasis in important skeletal disorders.
