Authors: Park Jisu , Jeon Heejung , Choi Eun Kyoung 
Published: November 2023

AbstractAimTo explore digital health interventions on patient safety for children and their parents.DesignA scoping review.MethodsThe PCC ‘Participants, Concepts, and Contexts’ guided the selection of studies that focused on children under 19 years of age or their parents, patient safety interventions for children, and digital health technology for patient safety interventions. This study was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley framework's five steps. We reported the review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews Checklist.Data SourcesPubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane were searched for articles published up to November 2022.ResultsA total of 13 articles were included and categorized according to the following criteria to describe the results: intervention characteristics, type of digital technology, and outcome characteristics. Regarding intervention characteristics, we identified two categories, prevention and risk management. Additionally, we identified four types of digital technology, mobile applications, web‐based technologies, computer kiosks and electronic health records. Finally, in studies focussing on child safety, parental safety behaviours were used to assess injury risk or detect changes related to prevention.ConclusionPatient safety interventions provided through appropriate digital technologies should be developed to enhance continuum of care for children from hospitalization to home after discharge.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareDigital health interventions can bolster the role of healthcare providers in patient safety in and out of hospitals, thus improving children's safety and quality of care.Impact

What problem did the study address? Although the various advantages of digital health technology have been demonstrated, the potential role of digital technology in patient safety interventions for children has not been explored.

What were the main finding? Preventive patient safety interventions and risk management for children have been developed.

Where and on whom will the research have an impact? Digital health interventions on patient safety can improve children's safety and quality of care by promoting non‐face‐to‐face engagement of children and parents after discharge and expanding healthcare providers' roles.

Published: November 2023

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study is to examine the effect of designs using different esthetic dental proportions made with a digital smile design program on the esthetic perception of individuals of different ages, genders and educational statuses.Materials and MethodsDifferent smile designs were made on facial photos taken of a female and male model using a smile design program. Four different dental proportions (golden proportion [GPR], golden percentage [GPE]), Preston proportion [P] and recurring esthetic dental proportion [RED]) and two different tooth shapes (oval and square) were used. Images with 16 different smile designs were presented to 4th and 5th‐year students of a faculty of dentistry, dentists, specialist dentists and laypersons for scoring.ResultsThe gender of the participants did not affect the scores given (p > 0.05), and participants over the age of 30 and lay people had higher scores (p < 0.05). The GPR design was scored lower than RED when all designs were subdivided by tooth shape and gender (p < 0.001).ConclusionsThe esthetic perceptions of people of different ages and dentistry education levels may differ from each other. Using the GPR when designing a digital smile may not be suitable for both genders.Clinical SignificanceIf esthetic dental proportions are to be utilized when designing a smile, it may be more appropriate to use the P and RED proportions instead of the GPR. In addition, if the patients whose smiles will be designed are young and have received dental education, it should be considered that their esthetic expectations may be high.

Published: November 2023

AbstractObjectiveObtaining strong resin bonds to computer‐aided design and computer‐aided manufacturing (CAD‐CAM) resin‐based composites with dispersed fillers (CCRBCs) poses a challenge. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effect of three universal adhesives and a two‐component silane coupling agent on the shear bond strength to three (CCRBCs).Materials and MethodsEight hundred and sixty‐four specimens of Brilliant Crios, Lava Ultimate, and Tetric CAD were polished or grit blasted, bonded with Adhese Universal DC, One Coat 7 Universal (OC7), and Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive (SBU) with or without a silane primer. Shear bond strength was measured after 24 h and 10,000 thermocycles. Linear regressions were performed (α = 0.05).ResultsAfter thermocycling, bond strengths were similar for the universal adhesives on polished Brilliant Crios and Lava Ultimate (p ≥ 0.408). Grit blasted Tetric CAD showed no significant differences (p ≥ 0.096). The silane primer had minimal impact on grit blasted Tetric CAD (p ≥ 0.384). The silane primer increased the bond strength of OC7 to Brilliant Crios (p = 0.001) but decreased the adhesion of SBU to Brilliant Crios and Lava Ultimate (p ≤ 0.018).ConclusionsBond strength of universal adhesives varied with CCRBC type. The two‐component silane coupling agent showed mixed effects on adhesive performance.Clinical SignificanceSelecting universal adhesives from the same CCRBC product line does not always guarantee superior bond strength. The efficacy of silane coupling agents differs based on the bonding substrate.
Nurses' adherence to patient safety protocols and its relationship with adverse patient events
Authors: Labrague Leodoro J. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIntroductionEnsuring patient safety is a critical component of healthcare delivery, and nurses play a vital role in adhering to patient safety protocols to prevent adverse events. However, studies linking nurses' adherence to these protocols with patient outcomes is scarce. This study has two‐fold purposes: (1) to examine determinants of nurses' adherence to patient safety protocols, and (2) to investigate the relationship between nurses' adherence to patient safety protocols and adverse patient events.DesignA cross‐sectional design.MethodsA total of 343 clinical nurses from five hospitals in the Philippines were included in this study. Two standardized scales were used to collect data, including the Patient Safety Adherence Scale and the Adverse Patient Events Scale. Data collection took place from April 2022 to August 2022.ResultsAdherence to patient safety protocols was generally moderate to high (M = 4.483), while nurse‐reported adverse events occurred at a lower frequency (M = 1.150). Lower adherence rates were identified in areas such as reporting safety errors (M = 3.950), conducting fall risk assessments (M = 4.299), and adhering to pressure ulcer prevention guidelines (M = 3.979). Patients' and their families' complaints (M = 2.129) and abuses (M = 1.475) were the most frequently reported adverse events. Increased adherence to safety protocols was associated with higher reporting of adverse patient events (β = 0.115, p < 0.001).ConclusionHigher adherence to patient safety protocols resulted in an increased reporting of adverse patient events. The factors identified that contributed to nurses' adherence to patient safety protocols can be utilized in the development of strategies aimed at improving compliance, especially in areas where adherence is currently low.Clinical RelevanceHealthcare organizations should prioritize efforts to enhance adherence to patient safety protocols, particularly in areas with lower compliance rates, through relevant trainings, resource provision, and support systems. Promoting a culture of open communication and reporting can significantly contribute to reducing adverse events and improving patient safety.

AbstractPurposeTo investigate the effects of 4 denture base materials, 2 surface treatment protocols, and simulated brushing (SB) on the surface hardness, surface roughness, surface gloss, and the surface loss of denture base materials.Materials and MethodsFour denture base resin material groups (compression‐molded, injection‐molded, 3D‐printed, and milled) with two different surface treatment protocols (polished and glazed) were utilized in this study. A total of 80 samples (n = 10) were evaluated for surface hardness (Vickers) before SB. SB was performed for each sample (custom‐built V8 cross brushing machine, 50,000 reciprocal strokes). Surface roughness (Ra) was measured before and after SB with a non‐contact optical profilometer. Surface gloss was performed using a glossmeter to determine changes in surface reflectivity of the specimens before and after SB. Surface loss (wear resistance) was measured after SB using optical profilometry. The effects of material, surface treatment, and SB on all surface characteristics were examined with two‐way and three‐way analysis of variance models (ANOVA) (α = 0.05).ResultsThe polished compression‐molded group had significantly higher surface hardness than all other groups. The protective glaze coating significantly increased the surface hardness for all groups (P < 0.001). SB increased the surface roughness of all groups regardless of surface treatments (P < 0.001). The increase in surface roughness after SB was significantly higher with polished surface treatment than with a glazed surface treatment in all groups (P < 0.001). Surface gloss was significantly higher with the glazed surface treatment than with the polished surface treatment for all denture base materials (P < 0.001). After SB, milled denture base material showed the highest, and 3D‐printed material showed the second highest surface gloss compared to the other groups (P < 0.001), regardless of surface treatment. In all materials tested, surface glaze significantly decreased surface loss (P < 0.001). With the glaze surface treatment, compression‐molded denture base material had significantly less surface loss (more surface gain) than other materials, while with the polished surface treatment, 3D‐printed denture base material had the least surface loss when compared with other groups.ConclusionsA single layer of nano‐filled, light‐polymerizing protective glaze coating has displayed potential for enhancing the longevity of denture base materials, as evidenced by increased hardness and wear resistance. Following simulated brushing, the milled denture material exhibited the highest surface gloss and lowest surface roughness among all groups, regardless of the surface treatment protocol. This indicates that milled denture base material possesses favorable surface properties and may serve as a viable alternative to traditional denture base materials.
“Not Being Counted”: Women's Place and Religious Space in Jewish Orthodox Communities During the COVID‐19 Crisis

Published: November 2023

AbstractThis article draws on the anthropology of crisis to analyze ways in which communal‐religious responses to crisis situations can reveal engrained social and cultural structures, and especially their gendered aspects. We focus on two alternative forms of Jewish communal prayer service that emerged in Orthodox communities in Israel during the first year of the COVID‐19 pandemic: street and balcony minyans. Based on interviews and texts, we explore Orthodox women's experiences of these new religious spaces that entailed the rearrangement of traditional gender and spatial boundaries. We show that while these spaces opened room for new religious experiences for women, they ultimately accentuated their experiences of exclusion. We argue that the destabilization of the physical religious space in these alternative communal prayers reinforced symbolic gender boundaries. Thus, our study not only demonstrates how crises can uncover the deep social grammar of a community, but also how they unearth processes that defy and challenge that grammar.

Published: November 2023

AbstractBackgroundCommercially available D‐dimer assays use antibodies against human D‐dimer, with limited sensitivity and specificity data in companion animals.ObjectivesTo evaluate the immunoreactivity of D‐dimer in plasma of dogs, horses, and cats with commercially available antibodies to human D‐dimer.AnimalsPlasma samples were collected from healthy dogs and horses, and from surplus feline plasma submitted for diagnostic purposes.MethodsDescriptive research study. A cross‐linked fibrin lysate was prepared from plasma samples, and SDS‐PAGE and immunoblotting were performed with a variety of commercially available antibodies to human D‐dimer.ResultsThe selected antibodies demonstrated variable reactivity with D‐dimer of each species. The monoclonal antibody DD44 bound canine D‐dimer with good specificity and sensitivity, but this antibody did not react with feline or equine D‐dimer. The polyclonal antibody D2D bound putative D‐dimer in dogs, cats, and horses with good specificity, and higher sensitivity compared to human D‐dimer.Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceThe variable performance of commercially available human D‐dimer assays between species is, in part, because of inter‐species variation in D‐dimer immunoreactivity. The use of these assays should follow validation studies. Monoclonal antibody DD44 could be a focus for the development of a canine‐specific assay.

AbstractBackgroundRapid‐sequence tracheotomy and scalpel‐bougie tracheotomy are two published approaches for establishing emergency front‐of‐neck access in infants. It is unknown whether there is a difference in performance times and success rates between the two approaches.AimsThe aim of this cross‐over randomized control trial study was to investigate whether the two approaches were equivalent for establishing tracheal access in rabbit cadavers. The underlying hypothesis was that the time to achieve the tracheal access is the same with both techniques.MethodsBetween May and September 2022, thirty physicians (pediatric anesthesiologists and intensivists) were randomized to perform front‐of‐neck access using one and then the other technique: rapid‐sequence tracheotomy and scalpel‐bougie tracheotomy. After watching training videos, each technique was practiced four times followed by a final tracheotomy during which study measurements were obtained. Based on existing data, an equivalence margin was set at ∆ = ±10 s for the duration of the procedure. The primary outcome was defined as the duration until tracheal tube placement was achieved successfully. Secondary outcomes included success rate, structural injuries, and subjective participant self‐evaluation.ResultsThe median duration of the scalpel‐bougie tracheotomy was 48 s (95% CI: 37–57), while the duration of the rapid‐sequence tracheotomy was 59 s (95% CI: 49–66, p = .07). The difference in the median duration between the two approaches was 11 s (95% CI: −4.9 to 29). The overall success rate was 93.3% (95% CI: 83.8%–98.2%). The scalpel‐bougie tracheotomy resulted in significantly fewer damaged tracheal rings and was preferred among participants.ConclusionsThe scalpel‐bougie tracheotomy was slightly faster than the rapid‐sequence tracheotomy and favored by participants, with fewer tracheal injuries. Therefore, we propose the scalpel‐bougie tracheostomy as a rescue approach favoring the similarity to the adult approach for small children. The use of a comparable equipment kit for both children and adults facilitates standardization, performance, and logistics.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05499273.
The Task and Goal Alignment Rubric: A tool for assessing the alignment of mathematical tasks and goals
Authors: Menke Jenna 
Published: November 2023

AbstractMathematics education researchers suggest that it is important for teachers to select mathematics tasks that align with their goals for students; however, this can be challenging as there are many facets of alignment to consider. In this article, I present a rubric that details the alignment between tasks and learning goals. This rubric was developed by adapting the Achieve protocol and making modifications based on responses of a Delphi model panel that applied the rubric. I then discuss the use of this rubric with preservice teachers in a course about teaching mathematics with technology and the positive impact it had on their understanding and ability to align tasks and learning goals. I conclude with possible future uses of this rubric for researchers, teachers, and teacher educators.
Online democracy: Applying Hannah Arendt's model of democracy to the internet
Authors: Bláhová Sylvie 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe internet is a major part of our lives today. This applies to politics as well, and accordingly, the question of whether it is possible to realize democracy on the internet has arisen. Using the arguments of Hannah Arendt, the paper aims to determine what online democracy should look like. It is argued that the internet's decentralized structure is advantageous because it facilitates the implementation of the Arendtian system of political councils. Due to the character of online political platforms – mainly social media – these political councils should ideally revolve around shared issues that simultaneously create the common world on the internet. At the same time, clear rules need to be laid down for the functioning of these online political councils. Based on Arendt's arguments, it is claimed in the paper that these rules include the principles of mutual promises and covenants on the issues themselves. It is also argued that because Arendt emphasizes the role of appearing in the public sphere, the process of authentication – that is, verifying that there is a concrete person with a physical body behind each online account that wants to actively participate in a particular online political council – is required.
Feline Heinz bodies interfering in standard bicarbonate analysis by the ABL90 FLEX
Authors: Strage Emma , Hillström Anna , Falkenö Ulrika , Sjöström Anna 
Published: November 2023

AbstractVenous blood gases were analyzed with ABL90 FLEX in two cats with Heinz bodies in approximately 60% of the erythrocytes. The instrument demonstrated an inability to correctly report standard bicarbonate (stHCO3−), hematocrits, and hemoglobin concentrations by indicating an OXI spectrum mismatch alarm (ie, the spectrum of measured hemoglobin forms differed from the spectrum of calculated forms). Actual bicarbonate (aHCO3−) did not indicate any errors. The ABL90 FLEX uses spectrophotometry to measure hemoglobin, and the presence of Heinz bodies interfered with the measurement in these cases. Because hemoglobin is included in the formula for calculating stHCO3−, the instrument gave an alarm for stHCO3−. At follow‐up, Heinz bodies were present in only 2%–3% of the erythrocytes, and the ABL90 FLEX did not indicate any alarm messages. To the authors' knowledge, these are the first cases reported that have interference in stHCO3− measurements due to Heinz body formation using the ABL90 FLEX, a common blood gas instrument used in both veterinary and human critical care. The methodology used for evaluating acid–base status should be taken into consideration, and caution is needed when interpreting acid–base results in cats with Heinz bodies.

AbstractLocal low‐frequency vibration promotes blood flow and wound healing in hard‐to‐heal diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). However, vibration treatment is challenging in patients with DFUs due to wound management difficulties and low adherence. Consequently, developing wearable self‐care devices becomes imperative for effective wound healing. This study introduces a wearable vibration dressing and assesses its impact on wound healing in hyperglycemic rats. Low‐frequency vibration at 52 Hz was applied to the wound for 40 min/day in awake rats. Relative wound areas on post‐wounding days (PWDs) 4–7 were significantly smaller and the wound closure rate was significantly higher in the vibration group than in the control group (p < 0.05, respectively). The total haemoglobin at baseline and after vibration on post‐wounding day 7 was significantly larger in the vibration group than in the control group (p < 0.05). On PWD 7, the thickness of the granulation tissue was significantly higher in the vibration group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Moreover, the number of blood vessels at the wound site and vascular endothelial growth factor A protein expression were significantly higher in the vibration group than in the control group (p < 0.05, respectively). The ratio of (CD68+/iNOS+)/(CD163+) macrophages in the vibration group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.05). These results indicate the potential of wearable vibration dressings as new self‐care devices that can promote angiogenesis and blood flow, improve inflammation, and enhance wound healing in DFUs.
