Published: May 2023

Background: No Place Like Home is a clinical interprofessional education (IPE) activity whereby pharmacy and medical students conduct home visits under the guidance and supervision of a clinical preceptor to homebound patients. Purpose: We examined pharmacy and medical student perceptions of mastery of interprofessional competencies during an in-person clinical home visit pre-COVID-19 pandemic versus a virtual IPE learning activity consisting of didactic and case discussions in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We administered the same modified Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS) instrument, which uses a five-point Likert scale, to both the in-person and the virtual IPE students following their learning activity. Results: We received a total of 459 completed survey responses with an overall response rate of 84%. For both groups of students, the in-person format was preferred, however, to our surprise, the results indicated that students in the virtual group reported greater perceived gain in interprofessional skills than students in the in-person group. In addition, pharmacy students perceived greater gain from the interprofessional activity and offered more thoughtful reflections about their experience. Conclusions: Even though both groups of students preferred the in-person visit, the IPE objectives were equally (for medical students) or better (for pharmacy students) absorbed in the virtual environment than the in-person clinical home visit.
A Cost-Effective Sequential Route Recommender System for Taxi Drivers
Authors: Liu Junming , Teng Mingfei , Chen Weiwei , Xiong Hui 
Published: May 2023

This paper develops a cost-effective sequential route recommender system to provide real-time routing recommendations for vacant taxis searching for the next passenger. We propose a prediction-and-optimization framework to recommend the searching route that maximizes the expected profit of the next successful passenger pickup based on the dynamic taxi demand-supply distribution. Specifically, this system features a deep learning-based predictor that dynamically predicts the passenger pickup probability on a road segment and a recursive searching algorithm that recommends the optimal searching route. The predictor integrates a graph convolution network (GCN) to capture the spatial distribution and a long short-term memory (LSTM) to capture the temporal dynamics of taxi demand and supply. The GCN-LSTM model can accurately predict the pickup probability on a road segment with the consideration of potential taxi oversupply. Then, the dynamic distribution of pickup probability is fed into the route optimization algorithm to recommend the optimal searching routes sequentially as route inquiries emerge in the system. The recursion tree-based route optimization algorithm can significantly reduce the computational time and provide the optimal routes within seconds for real-time implementation. Finally, extensive experiments using Beijing Taxi GPS data demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed recommender system.

Context
Since 2013, the World Health Organization has recommended integrated control strategies for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) with skin manifestations. We evaluated the implementation of an integrated approach to the early detection and rapid treatment of skin NTDs based on mobile clinics in the Ouémé and Plateau areas of Benin.

Methods
This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed in Ouémé and Plateau in Benin from 2018 to 2020. Consultations using mobile teams were performed at various sites selected by reasoned choice based on the epidemiological data of the National Program for the Control of Leprosy and Buruli Ulcer. All individuals presenting with a dermatological lesion who voluntarily approached the multidisciplinary management team on the day of consultation were included. The information collected was kept strictly anonymous and was entered into an Excel 2013 spreadsheet and analyzed with Stata 11 software.

Results
In total, 5,267 patients with various skin conditions consulted the medical team. The median age of these patients was 14 years (IQR: 7–34 years). We saw 646 (12.3%) patients presenting NTDs with skin manifestations, principally scabies, in 88.4% (571/646), followed by 37 cases of Buruli ulcer (5.8%), 22 cases of leprosy (3.4%), 15 cases of lymphatic filariasis (2.3%) and one case of mycetoma (0.2%). We detected no cases of yaws.

Conclusion
This sustainable approach could help to decrease the burden of skin NTDs in resource-limited countries.
The value of supportive care: A systematic review of cost-effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for dementia
Authors: Guzzon Angelica , Rebba Vincenzo , Paccagnella Omar , Rigon Michela , Boniolo Giovanni 
Published: May 2023

Background
Almost 44 million people are currently living with dementia worldwide. This number is set to increase threefold by 2050, posing a serious threat to the sustainability of healthcare systems. Overuse of antipsychotic drugs for the management of the symptoms of dementia carries negative consequences for patients while also increasing the health expenditures for society. Supportive care (SC) interventions could be considered a safer and potentially cost-saving option. In this paper we provide a systematic review of the existing evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of SC interventions targeted towards persons living with dementia and their caregivers.

Methods
A systematic literature review was performed between February 2019 and December 2021 through searches of the databases PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane Library, CENTRAL, Embase and PsycINFO. The search strategy was based on PRISMA 2020 recommendations. We considered studies published through December 2021 with no lower date limit. We distinguished between five categories of SC strategies: cognitive therapies, physical activity, indirect strategies (organisational and environmental changes), interventions primarily targeted towards family caregivers, and multicomponent interventions.

Results
Of the 5,479 articles retrieved, 39 met the inclusion criteria. These studies analysed 35 SC programmes located at different stages of the dementia care pathway. Eleven studies provided evidence of high cost-effectiveness for seven interventions: two multicomponent interventions; two indirect interventions; two interventions aimed at caregivers of community-dwelling persons with dementia; one community-based cognitive stimulation and occupational programme.

Conclusion
We find that the most promising SC strategies in terms of cost-effectiveness are multicomponent interventions (targeted towards both nursing home residents and day-care service users), indirect strategies (group living and dementia care management at home), some forms of tailored occupational therapy, together with some psychosocial interventions for caregivers of community-dwelling persons with dementia. Our results suggest that the adoption of effective SC interventions may increase the economic sustainability of dementia care.

Published: May 2023

BackgroundThere is an intersection between oral and mental health though the studies on these intersections are few. This study investigated associations between self-reported oral health problems, quality of oral health, and depression and general anxiety among adolescents and adults in Nigeria; and analysed the moderating effects of resilience and self-esteem on these associations.MethodsIn this secondary analysis, data were extracted from the database of an online survey conducted among participants 13 years and older and living in Nigeria about their self-reported psychological wellbeing. The data was collected between September and October 2020. Dependent variables were self-reported presence of oral health problems (yes/no) and self-reported quality of oral health (using a five-item scale ranging from “very good” to “very poor”). Independent variables were depressive and anxiety symptoms. Moderating factors evaluated were resilience and self-esteem. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine the associations between the dependent and independent variables after adjusting for confounders (age, sex, employment status and educational status). A path analysis was conducted to determine the moderating effects of self-esteem and resilience on associations between dependent and independent variables.ResultsWe extracted data for 2,757 adolescents and adults aged 13 to 62 years, of which 2,062 (74.8%) reported having oral health problems and 925 (33.6%) reported poor quality of oral health. Higher levels of depressive symptoms were significantly associated with higher odds of oral health problems (AOR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.04–1.10; p<0.001). Higher levels of depressive symptoms (AOR: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.03–1.07; p<0.001), and higher levels of anxiety symptoms (AOR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.04–1.11; p<0.001) were significantly associated with poor quality of oral health. Resilience significantly moderated the association between anxiety symptoms and oral health problems (AOR = -0.004; 95% CI: -0.006 –-0.001; p = 0.002).ConclusionDepression may be a risk indicator for self-reported oral health problems, while depression and anxiety appear to be risk indicators for self-reported poor quality of oral health. These factors could be included as confounders in future studies on oral health problems and quality of oral health among adolescents and adults in Nigeria.
Illness perceptions of occupational hand eczema in German patients based on the common-sense model of self-regulation: A qualitative study
Authors: Buse Anna-Sophie , Wilke Annika , John Swen Malte , Hansen Andreas 
Published: May 2023

Background
Occupational skin diseases (OSD) in the form of hand eczema (HE) are a common work-related disease. Illness perceptions as presented in Leventhal’s Common-Sense Model (CSM) are important for patients’ self-management of diseases. Understanding these illness perceptions is essential for patient communicating. No quantitative or qualitative studies which investigated subjective illness perceptions in patients with occupational HE utilized the CSM as theoretical framework. The Objective of this study is to investigate illness perceptions of patients with occupational hand eczema (HE) using the CSM.

Methods
We applied an exploratory qualitative approach and conducted purposive sampling. Thirty-six patients with occupational HE were interviewed using an interview guide based on the dimensions of the CSM, including coherence and emotional representation. All participants participated in a three-week inpatient program at a clinic specialized on occupational dermatology. One interview had to be excluded before analysis, since one participant’s diagnosis was retrospectively changed from ICD to tinea and hence did not match the inclusion criteria. Thirty-five interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed. Data was analyzed deductively and inductively using qualitative text analysis. MAXQDA 2018 (Verbi, Berlin, Germany), a software for qualitative data analysis, was applied for coding and summarizing of results. All dimensions of the CSM were explored for occupational HE.

Results
Several sub-categories could be identified. Participants named a variety of causes in different areas (e. g. external irritants and other hazardous factors, psycho-social factors, allergies, having a ‘bad immune system’ or lifestyle). The great impact of the disease on the participants’ life is shown by the wide range of consequences reported, affecting all areas of life (i. e. psychological, physical, occupational, private). Considering coherence, an ambivalence between comprehensibility and non-comprehensibility of the disease is apparent.

Discussion
The complexity of illness perceptions presented in this paper is relevant for those involved in HE patient education and counseling, e. g, health educators, dermatologists, and, occupational physicians. Future research might further investigate specific aspects of illness perceptions in patients with occupational HE, especially considering the complexity of coherence and overlapping dimensions (i. e. emotional representation and psychological consequences).

Authors: Kaya Kaan , Mungan Ufuk 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Background
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has become standard first-line treatment of acute coronary syndrome; however, it increases the risk of bleeding complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the benefits of pooled platelet concentrate (PPC) in reducing postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) after a DAPT loading dose.

Methods
One hundred nine patients who underwent emergent CABG within the first 24 hours after receiving a DAPT loading dose were included in the study and divided into 2 groups: patients who were (group 1, n = 63) and were not (group 2, n = 46) given PPC during the surgery. The amount of bleeding in the postoperative period and the need for blood transfusions were recorded.

Results
The mean (SD) surgical drainage amounts were 475.39 (101.94) mL in group 1 and 679.34 (232.03) mL in group 2 (P = .001). The need for surgical revisions was 0% and 15.2% in groups 1 and 2, respectively (P = .002). The median (range) duration of hospitalization after surgery was 4 (4–6) days in group 1 and 6 (4–9) days in group 2 (P = .001). Total transfusions per patient were higher in group 2 than in group 1 (1 [range, 1–4] and 3 [range, 2–7] units, respectively; P = .001).

Conclusion
Perioperative PPC in patients who had received DAPT reduces postoperative bleeding, the need for blood products, and hospital stay. As a result, it has beneficial effects for early mobilization and improves patient comfort.

Published: May 2023

Abstract

Objectives
The clinical significance of serum pepsinogen (PG) for screening gastric cancer has been a controversial topic. Serum PG I levels have been demonstrated to be correlated with age, sex, and the Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. However, the underlying factors that influence serum PG I variations remain to be fully elucidated. We aimed to evaluate the impacts of sex and body mass index (BMI) on PG I in Chinese population.

Methods
The cross-sectional study recruited 4,299 apparently healthy participants in Fujian Province. Serum PG levels were automatically measured using ELISA method. Serum H. pylori-IgG antibody was detected by the colloidal gold immunoassay. Clinical characteristics were obtained by questionnaire.

Results
Totally, 2,263 participants who had tests of serum PG and anti-HP IgG antibody were enrolled. Increased BMI and serum uric acid were observed in males with low PG I value (<70 μg/L). Multiple logistic regression showed the presence of overweight was the independent risk factor for male participants with low PG I level (odds ratio [OR] 1.519; p=0.017). However, the association was not found in females.

Conclusions
Sex-specific association of serum low PG I with overweight was observed in the southeast coastal areas of China. Thus, effects of sexual dimorphism should not be ignored during the clinical utilization of serum PG I.
Ground penetrating radar and magnetic gradient distribution approach for subsurface investigation of solution pipes in post-glacial settings
Authors: Oryński Szymon , Kowalczyk Sebastian , Owoc Bartosz 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Solution pipes are an important geomorphological feature in carbonate rocks formed by the host rock’s dissolution due to water’s focused flow, indicating the phenomena of water focusing in particular areas. However, their visual exposures are often limited by sediment and vegetation cover, making it challenging to understand their spatial distribution and morphology. In this study, we used geophysical methods such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) and magnetic gradiometer to detect and estimate the spatial distribution of solution pipes in a freshly exposed quarry site in Smerdyna, Poland. Our results indicate that both GPR and magnetometric measurements effectively detect most of the solution pipes, particularly those filled with large amounts of clay and silt particles. The GPR method, in particular, proved to be convenient due to the high contrast of the dielectric constant. The information on the positions and shapes of the pipes obtained based on these methods is crucial in understanding the link between pipe morphology and the physical conditions at the time of their formation. Furthermore, our measurements provided quasi-spatial correlations between pipe positions, the distribution of inter-pipe distances, and the potential relationship between alignments of rock joints and pipe locations. Our study demonstrates the potential of geophysical methods in detecting and understanding solution pipes, which are essential from environmental and climatic perspectives. This information can be used for future studies on pipe formation and environmental impact.
