Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have garnered significant attention in biomedical applications. Due to their large surface area and tunable properties, MNPs are used in microfluidic systems, which allow for the manipulation and control of fluids at micro- or nanoscale. Using microfluidic systems allows for a faster, less expensive, and more efficient approach to applications like bioanalysis. MNPs in microfluidics can precisely identify and detect bioanalytes on a single chip by controlling analytes in conjunction with magnetic particles (MPs) and separating various particles for analytical functions at the micro- and nanoscales. Numerous uses for these instruments, including cell-based research, proteomics, and diagnostics, have been reported. The successful reduction in the size of analytical assays and the creation of compact LOC platforms have been made possible with the assistance of microfluidics. Microfluidics is a highly effective method for manipulating fluids as a continuous flow or discrete droplets. Since the implementation of the LOC technology, various microfluidic methods have been developed to improve the efficiency and precision of sorting, separating, or isolating cells or microparticles from their original samples. These techniques aim to surpass traditional laboratory procedures. This review focuses on the recent progress in utilizing microfluidic systems that incorporate MNPs for biological applications.

To report the clinical features, investigations, management, and outcome in typical cases of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome (VKH) in a tertiary eye care center in South India.

Materials and methods
Retrospective interventional case series of VKH patients.

Results
Seventy-one eyes of 36 patients (age range 12-68 years) were included. Anatomical diagnoses were posterior uveitis (15 eyes) and pan uveitis (56 eyes). The classification of the cases with regard to VKH disease was as follows: six eyes were classified as complete, 41 eyes as incomplete, and 24 eyes as probable VKH disease. Commonest extraocular manifestation noted in 25 cases was headache. The more common ocular presentations were disc hyperemia (40 eyes) and exudative retinal detachment in the posterior pole (46 eyes) and in the retinal periphery (24 eyes). All patients were managed on systemic steroids. Systemic immunosuppressive therapy was given in 21 cases. Majority of the participants had good visual outcome.
Short-Term Digital Platform Work’s Long-Term Impact on Livelihoods
Authors: Latif Farhan 
Published: October 2024

As platformization and virtualization of work gain prominence in the digitally connected world, parallel efforts are being made to narrow the digital divides, driving the globalization of short-term digital labor as both a rapidly evolving theoretical construct and a practical reality. Although the disproportionate influence of platforms on Global South development is a growing area of concern, the global reach of platforms does not necessarily imply a uniform impact on development gains and constraints across different developing regions. This review paper explores this interplay between digital platform work and local development, particularly emphasizing the long-term impact of platform-mediated digital work on workers’ livelihoods in the Global South. The study delves into how the variation in local contextual factors changes the livelihood outcomes of platform work in different Global South countries. The study focuses on three key areas endogenous to local development, i.e., access to decent work, employability skills development, and workers’ resilience within the ever-changing job market. A realist synthesis method is used to distinguish between different scholarly perspectives across various disciplines and geographic areas. The findings are further utilized to refine a conception of the Sustainable Livelihood Framework, providing a tool that broadens the scope of platform work analysis to account for the diverse structural and contextual factors impacting workers’ livelihoods in different regions. The study calls for a thorough examination of the uneven distribution of platform labor outcomes, focusing particularly on the local contextual factors contributing to this disparity.
Affordable Care Act’s Preventive Services Coverage Mandate and Receipt of Fluoride Varnish
Authors: Kranz Ashley M. , Mizushima Yuji , Dick Andrew W. , Geissler Kimberley H. , Gracner Tadeja 
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
The Affordable Care Act required private insurers to cover a set of recommended preventive services without cost-sharing. This included coverage of fluoride varnish (FV) applications without cost-sharing for children aged 1 through 5 during medical visits, an evidence-based treatment that prevents tooth decay. We examined if this coverage mandate was associated with more young children receiving FV.

METHODS
Using the Massachusetts All-Payer Claims Database (2014–2018), we examined the likelihood that a privately insured child received FV during a medical visit in a month. We used a difference-in-differences approach, comparing those included in the coverage mandate (aged 1–5) to those excluded from the mandate (aged 6–9), before and after the mandate was enacted (January 2015). We repeated analyses in children with Medicaid because this mandate may have had spillover effects for this population.

RESULTS
Among children aged 1 through 5 years with private insurance, 1-year postmandate the probability of FV receipt in a month increased 0.16 percentage points more relative to December 2014 (premandate) compared with the change among children aged 6 to 9 years (P &lt; .001; 95% confidence interval = 0.1–0.22). When examining spillover to children with Medicaid, the mandate was not associated with a significant increase in the probability of monthly FV receipt 1-year postmandate.

CONCLUSIONS
This Affordable Care Act mandate requiring coverage of FV without cost-sharing was associated with higher rates of young children receiving FV in medical settings, with the largest result observed among children with private insurance.

Abstract
Setting
In Canada, racialized and immigrant women are typically under-screened for breast and cervical cancer. Under-screening is linked to numerous barriers to access, including lack of awareness, fear of pain, the stigma of cancer, socio-cultural factors like language, and various socio-economic factors. To address these barriers, our team developed a series of initiatives to promote awareness of breast and cervical health among Black women.

Intervention
Building on the development of a breast cancer resource hub for Black women, and in partnership with relevant community organizations, we implemented a series of virtual educational and cancer screening events (two of each thus far). Both event series were targeted towards Black women and tailored to their needs.

Outcomes
Each educational event attracted more than 450 attendees and had average attendance times > 1 h. Most (> 87%) survey respondents agreed that an event specifically for Black women helped them feel supported. The 2022 and 2023 screening events provided breast and/or cervical cancer screening for 46 and 48 women, respectively. In both years, most women (> 90% of question respondents) noted that they were (extremely) likely to go for a mammogram or Pap test when next due.

Implications
Both event series provided targeted opportunities for Black women to learn about prevention, risk factors, resources, and screening related to women’s cancers. It is possible that, over time, such culturally tailored events can reduce or remove the stigmas associated with cancer and decrease differences in cancer-related knowledge and behaviours between racialized and non-racialized groups.
Genomic Data Privacy and the Right to Science: Issues of Balance
Authors: Berg L. N. 
Published: October 2024

The paper examines the confidentiality of genomic data. According to the author, genomic data is a special concept in the field of personal data and requires increased regulatory guarantees of legal protection and safeguards. In addition, the author considers the issue of the grounds for disclosure and use of this type of information. According to the researcher, this is possible only if there is a public interest in conducting scientific research that contributes to the implementation of the health function by the state. The right to science, enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, can serve as a regulatory basis for this. The author notes that this right has not yet been established at the level of national legislation, which significantly complicates its understanding and definition of restrictions in its implementation. The paper also emphasizes the uniqueness of genomic information, which is characterized by features of identifiability and relative danger. These features are specified by the author in terms of the purpose and scope of the use of genetic data, their informational content, as well as the degree of their influence on the rights of the relevant person. In conclusion, the author puts forward am idea of one best way to balance the right to science and genomic data privacy, through which it will be possible to ensure both effective legal protection and a stable course of scientific evolution and progress.
Earthquake Magnitude Correlations Expose Short-Term Catalog Incompleteness
Authors: Corrado Paola , Herrmann Marcus , Marzocchi Warner 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The independence of earthquake magnitudes is a fundamental assumption and limitation in earthquake forecasting. To assess its validity, we examine correlations between the magnitude of successive earthquakes. We first investigate the 2019 Ridgecrest foreshock sequence and find a significant magnitude correlation as well as an unusually low Gutenberg–Richter b-value (≈0.7 using moment magnitudes). We demonstrate that these anomalous features are not indicative of a precursory phase, but a consequence of short-term incompleteness (STI) that is not detected by conventional methods to estimate catalog completeness. Synthetic simulations of this sequence support this explanation: imposing STI leads to significant magnitude correlation and biased b-value estimates. Expanding our investigation to seismicity across southern California reveals pervasive magnitude correlation due to STI, not limited to sequences with large earthquakes. Our findings suggest that magnitude correlation is the most effective indicator of STI, rather than a characteristic of the underlying earthquake-generating process.

Authors: Zhigalin A. V. 
Published: October 2024

Aim. To analyze the diversity of bat viruses in Russia and neighboring countries. To identify the main vectors of these pathogens and possible ways of introduction into the territory of the Russian Federation.In Russia the RNA sequences of 36 Coronaviridae, 8 Rhabdoviridae and 3 Astroviridae have been obtained from bats. In neighboring countries, RNA/DNA sequences of viruses in bats have been found in Norway (2), Finland 14), Poland 42), Ukraine (8), Georgia (46), Kazakhstan (29), China (5.645) and Japan (109). The dsequences which have been discovered belong to 30 families (Table 1). An increase in the number of sequences obtained over the past year has been observed in Russia and China. The absolute majority of sequences belong to the Coronaviridae family (62.96 %).The available data on bat viruses in Russia indicate the need to develop and implement a state interdisciplinary programme dedicated to this problem. The greatest danger is posed by Rhabdoviridae: mortalities after infection have been recorded in Russia. The data obtained also indicate that the main vectors of viruses are representatives of the genera Eptesicus, Myotis, Nyctalus, Rhinolophus and Vespertilio. The risk of virus exchange and transmission is most likely to be between the western part of Russia and European countries.

THE ROLE OF PATIENT SAFETY EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN IMPROVING PATIENT SAFETY
Authors: Naomi Ruth , Bahari Hasnah 
Published: October 2024

Background Patient safety education and trainings are an important element to promote patient safety culture. The demands on this training for the safety of healthcare staffs and patients are crucial due to the occurrence of preventable medical errors. These review aims to study the types of patient safety education and training that are delivered for the different target audiences as well as identifying the results of the training.
Methods This study presents narrative review on literature on patient safety education and training. Peer-reviewed journals and previously published papers were searched using keywords including "patient safety training," "improvement," "outcome," "health care," and "health services". Inclusion criteria for the article include the article written in English and published between 2013 and 2018. We used several journal databases including the Journal of Patient Safety, BMJ, PubMed, BMJ Quality & Safety and Google Scholar.
Results Reviews were done based on previously published papers. The findings revealed that the patient safety education and training are mostly conducted to nursing and medical students as well as trainee and residents. Besides, it was also conducted for anesthesiologists and patients. Typically, mannequin-based demonstrations and trainings are provided for medical students and educators through the workshop for physicians and nurses. In addition, most of the important role in ensuring patient safety is mainly done by nurses followed by the anesthesiologist.
Conclusion In regards to patient safety, each department has a specific role in ensuring patient safety culture in a clinical unit. Patient safety education and training must be provided for all levels because they may greatly influence the outcome especially on the attitudes and behavioural changes.

Published: October 2024

Introduction:
The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Knowledge, Skills, and Behavior (KSB) project sets up a framework for competency-based medical education for orthopaedic surgery residency training. The Behavior aspect of KSB includes use of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery Behavior Tool (ABOSBT) to assess 5 domains of professional behavior. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of 2 years of ABOSBT assessments and to characterize the low score ratings.

Methods:
All ABOSBT assessments from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023, were reviewed totaling 51,678 completed assessments with 48,648 (94%) assessments from a 360° process and 3,030 (6%) as end-of-rotation assessments.

Results:
Distribution of 51,678 ABOSBT assessments with 258,390 scores demonstrated low scores (disagree or strongly disagree) in 0.9% of assessments. All 5 domains identified low scores in a small percentage at all years-in-training with the greatest number in second- and third-year residents. Comparison of scores from 360° vs. end-of-rotation requests demonstrated a higher percentage of low scores given during the 360° process (p < 0.0001). Three thousand seven hundred seven unique evaluators completed ABOSBT assessments, with attending physicians as the most frequent evaluator type (44%); inpatient nurses assessed residents with low ABOSBT scores more frequently (4.5%) than any other evaluator type. Residents with 2 or more low scores by 2 or more different evaluators were analyzed for each of the 5 domains; low scores were most frequently observed in the reliability domain.

Discussion:
The ABOSBT was originally validated 5 years ago in 18 programs with 9,892 assessments; this article updates results using the ABOSBT across 95 programs assessing 2,397 residents with 3,707 evaluators. The ABOSBT demonstrates that most residents demonstrate professional behavior across 5 domains of assessment; the ABOSBT identifies residents with low scores. A strength of KSB is the ability to identify professionalism deficiencies while residents are in training and can focus on individualized educational improvement. Tracking residents with low scores on the ABOSBT assessment over time will help determine its effectiveness in identifying unprofessional behavior.
