Published: July 2024

Актуальность настоящей темы обусловлена рядом требований к организации внутреннего контроля качества и безопасности медицинской деятельности на уровне Законодательства РФ. На наш взгляд, при осуществлении мероприятий внутреннего контроля качества особое внимание необходимо уделять управлению процессами качества оказания медицинской помощи. Целью данной работы является попытка доказать научно-обоснованный подход к необходимости организации службы внутреннего контроля качества и безопасностимедицинской деятельности в многопрофильном стационаре, а также созданию единых критериев оценки лечебно-диагностического процесса. Материалами послужил анализ баз данных многопрофильного стационара Санкт-Петербурга, мощностью более 1000 коек. Отсутстствие универсальной модели по организации внутреннего контроля дает лишь возможность субъективно оценить уровень и состояние медицинской помощи. Ретроспективный анализ состояния качества медицинской помощи показал, что отсутствие стандартизации процессов деятельности медицинской организации на всех этапах оказания медицинской помощи создает возможность возникновения нежелательных событий, упущений в диагностике и лечении, а также нерационального использования ресурсов стационара.
The relevance of this topic is due to a number of requirements for the organization of internal quality control and safety of medical activities at the level of the Legislation of the Russian Federation. In our opinion, when implementing internal quality control measures, special attention should be paid to managing the quality of medical care. The purpose of this work is an attempt to prove a scientifically based approach to the need for the organization of internal quality control and safety of medical activities in a multidisciplinary hospital, as well as the creation of uniform criteria for evaluating the therapeutic and diagnostic process. The materials were the analysis of databases of a multidisciplinary hospital in St. Petersburg, with a bed capacity of more than 1,000 beds. The absence of a universal model for the organization of internal control only makes it possible to subjectively assess the level and condition of medical care. A retrospective analysis of the quality of medical care has shown that the lack of standardization of the processes of the medical organization at all stages of medical care creates the possibility of undesirable events, omissions in diagnosis and treatment, as well as irrational use of hospital resources.

Published: July 2024

Pashtu is one of the most widely spoken languages in south-east Asia. Pashtu Numerics recognition poses challenges due to its cursive nature. Despite this, employing a machine learning-based optical character recognition (OCR) model can be an effective way to tackle this issue. The main aim of the study is to propose an optimized machine learning model which can efficiently identify Pashtu numerics from 0–9. The methodology includes data organizing into different directories each representing labels. After that, the data is preprocessed i.e., images are resized to 32 × 32 images, then they are normalized by dividing their pixel value by 255, and the data is reshaped for model input. The dataset was split in the ratio of 80:20. After this, optimized hyperparameters were selected for LSTM and CNN models with the help of trial-and-error technique. Models were evaluated by accuracy and loss graphs, classification report, and confusion matrix. The results indicate that the proposed LSTM model slightly outperforms the proposed CNN model with a macro-average of precision: 0.9877, recall: 0.9876, F1 score: 0.9876. Both models demonstrate remarkable performance in accurately recognizing Pashtu numerics, achieving an accuracy level of nearly 98%. Notably, the LSTM model exhibits a marginal advantage over the CNN model in this regard.

ObjectiveTo test 4‐year‐olds, using 14 maneuvers of the Childhood Myositis Assessment Scale (CMAS), comparing healthy children with those with juvenile dermatomyositis (DM).MethodsHealthy 4‐year‐olds (n = 28) completed the CMAS. Their scores were compared with children with juvenile DM (n = 18) who had a muscle Disease Activity Score (DAS‐M) of 0.ResultsThe healthy children achieved a mean ± SD CMAS score of 46.6 ± 2.3 (interquartile range 46–47). There were no significant differences between boys and girls, and the scores were not significantly associated with height or weight. The greatest variation involved items that assessed endurance. Item 1, neck raise, yielded a mean ± SD score of 28.2 ± 19.3 seconds, with a mean ± SD CMAS score of 2.5 ± 0.9 (maximum score 5). Item 3, leg lift, yielded a mean ± SD score of 55.5 ± 37.3 seconds, with a mean ± SD CMAS score of 3.1 ± 1.1 (maximum score 5). Item 5, sit‐ups maneuver, yielded a mean ± SD score of 5.3 ± 1.1 sit‐ups. Almost identical data were obtained for the 18 treated children with juvenile DM who had normal strength on the DAS‐M.ConclusionHealthy children ages 4 years do not achieve the total CMAS score of 52 attained by older children. Both boys and girls were remarkably consistent, with a mean CMAS score of 46.6. Children ages 4 years with juvenile DM with a DAS‐M of 0 also achieved a CMAS score of 46.6. We conclude that half of 4‐year‐old children achieve a mean CMAS score of 46 or 47, not a total CMAS score of 52, suggesting that weakness may be overdiagnosed in 4‐year‐olds with an inflammatory myopathy.

ABSTRACTThe non‐isothermal degradation kinetics of the cured polymer samples of N,N′‐bismaleimide‐4,4′‐diphenylmethane/barbituric acid [BMI/BTA = 2/1 (mol/mol)] based polymers in the presence of hydroquinone (HQ) and native BMI/BTA was investigated by the thermogravimetric (TG) technique. By adding 5 wt % HQ into the BMI/BTA polymerization, the activation energy (Ea) of the thermal degradation process increased significantly in comparison with native BMI/BTA. Thus, the thermal stability of the cured polymer sample in the presence of HQ was greatly improved. The thermal degradation process exhibits three distinct stages. The key kinetic parameters associated with these stages were attained via the model‐fitting method. For the sample of native BMI/BTA, the thermal degradation process was primarily controlled by nucleation, followed by the multi‐decay law in the first stage. In contrast, the reaction order model adequately described the thermal degradation kinetics in the second stage. As to the last stage, the complex processes were described satisfactorily by the best‐fitted reaction model. For the sample of BMI/BTA/5 wt % HQ, the degradation process was controlled by the nucleation mechanism, followed by the multi‐molecular decay law in the first stage. In contrast, the second stage was controlled by the mixed mode of the competitive reaction order mechanism and 3‐D diffusion mechanism. In the third stage, the complex processes were also adequately described by the best‐fitted reaction model. All the experimental results illustrated that incorporation of 5 wt % HQ into the BMI/BTA based polymer resulted in the best thermal stability. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Published: May 2013

ABSTRACTHybrid biocomposites are one of the emerging fields in polymer composites. The purpose of this study is the development and characterization of ceramic sheet (CS) hybrid polypropylene (PP) biocomposites for broadening of the field of potential applications of biocomposites. Hybrid PP biocomposites were manufactured with 20 wt % loadings of kenaf and the addition of a CS (single or double sided) by melting and compression molding. The effects of the CS on the mechanical and thermal properties of the hybrid PP biocomposites were analyzed in terms of tensile, flexural, and impact properties, and inflammability, smoke optical density, and toxicity of the combustion gas. Also, the surface morphology of fractured hybrid PP biocomposites was observed by SEM and AFM. In spite of the brittle properties of the ceramic, the mechanical properties of the hybrid PP biocomposites were improved and, also, the inflammability of the hybrid PP biocomposites with the CS was highly improved. As a result, full impregnation of CSs into the kenaf reinforced biocomposite can contribute to the improvement of both the mechanical properties and the inflammability of biocomposites, resulting in a broadening of the field of potential applications of biocomposites such as aerospace. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ObjectiveThe lipid mediator sphingosine 1‐phosphate (S1P) is found in the synovial fluid of osteoarthritis (OA) patients. S1P protects bovine cartilage by counteracting the effects of interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β). This study was undertaken to examine the interaction of S1P and IL‐1β in human OA chondrocytes.MethodsHuman cartilage was obtained from patients undergoing total knee joint replacement. Chondrocytes were cultured in monolayer and treated with IL‐1β and S1P. Expression of S1P receptor subtypes and genes involved in cartilage degradation was evaluated using real‐time polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting. S1P signaling was evaluated using inhibitors of S1P receptors and small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of the S1P2 receptor. Phosphorylation of MAP kinases and NF‐κB in response to IL‐1β and S1P was detected by Western blotting.ResultsS1P2 was identified as the most prevalent S1P receptor subtype in human OA cartilage and chondrocytes in vitro. S1P reduced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in IL‐1β–treated chondrocytes. Reduction of ADAMTS‐4 and matrix metalloproteinase 13 expression by S1P correlated with S1P2 expression. Pharmacologic inhibition of the S1P2 receptor, but not the S1P1 and S1P3 receptors, abrogated the inhibition of iNOS expression. Similar results were observed using siRNA knockdown. S1P signaling inhibited IL‐1β–induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK.ConclusionIn human chondrocytes, S1P reduces the induction of catabolic genes in the presence of IL‐1β. Activation of the S1P2 receptor counteracts the detrimental phosphorylation of p38 MAPK by IL‐1β.
Interleukin‐7 Enhances the Th1 Response to Promote the Development of Sjögren's Syndrome–like Autoimmune Exocrinopathy in Mice

Published: May 2013

ObjectiveAlthough elevated interleukin‐7 (IL‐7) levels have been reported in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS), the role of IL‐7 in this disease remains unclear. We undertook this study to characterize the previously unexplored role of IL‐7 in the development and onset of primary SS using the C57BL/6.NOD‐Aec1Aec2 (B6.NOD‐Aec) mouse model, which recapitulates human primary SS.MethodsFor gain‐of‐function studies, recombinant IL‐7 or control phosphate buffered saline was injected intraperitoneally (IP) into 12‐week‐old B6.NOD‐Aec mice for 8 weeks. For loss‐of‐function studies, anti–IL‐7 receptor α‐chain (anti–IL‐7Rα) antibody or its isotype control IgG was administered IP into 16‐week‐old B6.NOD‐Aec mice. Salivary flow measurement, histologic and flow cytometric analysis of salivary glands, and serum antinuclear antibody assay were performed to assess various disease parameters.ResultsAdministration of exogenous IL‐7 accelerated the development of primary SS, whereas blockade of IL‐7Rα signaling almost completely abolished the development of primary SS, based on salivary gland inflammation and apoptosis, autoantibody production, and secretory dysfunction. IL‐7 positively regulated interferon‐γ (IFNγ)–producing Th1 and CD8+ T cells in the salivary glands without affecting IL‐17. Moreover, IL‐7 enhanced the expression of CXCR3 ligands in a T cell– and IFNγ‐dependent manner. Accordingly, IFNγ induced a human salivary gland epithelial cell line to produce CXCR3 ligands. IL‐7 also increased the level of tumor necrosis factor α, another Th1‐associated cytokine that can facilitate tissue destruction and inflammation.ConclusionIL‐7 plays a pivotal pathogenic role in SS, which is underpinned by an enhanced Th1 response and IFNγ/CXCR3 ligand–mediated lymphocyte infiltration of target organs. These results suggest that targeting the IL‐7 pathway may be a potential future strategy for preventing and treating SS.

ObjectiveHypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis syndrome (HUVS) is characterized by recurrent urticaria along with dermal vasculitis, arthritis, and glomerulonephritis. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) develops in >50% of patients with HUVS, although the pathogenesis is unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the causative DNA mutations in 2 families with autosomal‐recessive HUVS, in order to reveal the pathogenesis and facilitate the laboratory diagnosis.MethodsAutozygosity mapping was combined with whole‐exome sequencing.ResultsIn a family with 3 affected children, we identified a homozygous frameshift mutation, c.289_290delAC, inDNASE1L3. We subsequently identified another homozygousDNASE1L3mutation leading to exon skipping, c.320+4delAGTA, in an unrelated family. The detected mutations led to loss of function, via either nonsense‐mediated messenger RNA decay or abolished endonuclease activity, as demonstrated by a plasmid nicking assay.ConclusionThese results show that HUVS is caused by mutations inDNASE1L3, encoding an endonuclease that previously has been associated with SLE.

Published: May 2013

AbstractA total of six washed French and Algerian kaolins were studied. Kaolinite, halloysite, muscovite, feldspars, anatase, rutile, gibbsite, goethite, and todorokite were present. The thermal behavior of the samples was studied and the transformation heats were determined and quantified by differential thermal analysis. Calcined samples from 900°C to 1400°C are studied by X‐ray diffraction, the results show that the crystallite sizes of mullite rises as the temperature rises. The calcined samples showed an inverse correlation of L* and the crystallite sizes of mullite due to the incorporation of chromophore elements (Fe3+, Ti4+, and Mn2+) in its structure. Muscovite and rutile phases decreased lightness and increased chromaticity. The reduction state of Fe3+/Fe2+ and Mn4+/Mn2+ at 1400°C enhanced lightness leading to the diminution of the b* parameter. The CIELAB color parameters were significantly affected with mineralogy and chemical compositions of the samples. Lightness of the natural kaolins is decreased (L* < 59) when organic matters beside manganese and iron oxides are present. L* was not affected when only iron (Fe2+) is present in the kaolin; however, the chromaticity is increased (b* > 22). Whiteness and tint indices (W10, Tw,10) revealed that only one kaolin could be considered white (limits of CIE Colorimetry, 1986), though upon calcination, this number is enhanced to two. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Color composition in postmodern western architecture
Authors: Serra Juan , Codoñer Ángela García 
Published: May 2013

AbstractThis research aims to know some of the most innovative aspects of color in composition of postmodern architecture in Europe, approximately between 1960 and 2000. We describe the main chromatic trends in this period following historian JA. Ramírez's formal classification: the new utopias (‘60s), neo‐illuminist rationalism (‘70s), figurative postmodernity (‘80s), and deconstructivism (‘90s). For each trend, we point out some color composition features; analyze a case study building; and reflect on later influence on contemporary colored architecture. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: May 2013

SummaryThe emergence of cloud computing has brought the opportunity to use large‐scale compute infrastructures for a broader and broader spectrum of applications and users. As the cloud paradigm gets attractive for the ‘elasticity’ in resource usage and associated costs (the users only pay for resources actually used), cloud applications still suffer from the high latencies and low performance of cloud storage services. As Big Data analysis on clouds becomes more and more relevant in many application areas, enabling high‐throughput massive data processing on cloud data becomes a critical issue, as it impacts the overall application performance. In this paper, we address this challenge at the level of cloud storage. We introduce a concurrency‐optimized data storage system (called TomusBlobs), which federates the virtual disks associated to the Virtual Machines running the application code on the cloud. We demonstrate the performance benefits of our solution for efficient data‐intensive processing by building an optimized prototype MapReduce framework for Microsoft's Azure cloud platform on the basis of TomusBlobs. Finally, we specifically address the limitations of state‐of‐the‐art MapReduce frameworks for reduce‐intensive workloads, by proposing MapIterativeReduce as an extension of the MapReduce model. We validate the aforementioned contributions through large‐scale experiments with synthetic benchmarks and with real‐world applications on the Azure commercial cloud by using resources distributed across multiple data centers; they demonstrate that our solutions bring substantial benefits to data‐intensive applications compared with approaches relying on state‐of‐the‐art cloud object storage.
