Published: April 2023

O aumento da emissão dos gases estufa, causado sobretudo pelo desenvolvimento da atividade industrial, acarreta diversos problemas no âmbito global, como a intensificação das mudanças climáticas. Estudos visam analisar como as mudanças climáticas se relacionam com a intensificação dos eventos climáticos extremos (ECE). No Brasil, um dos ECE mais recorrentes são as secas intensas. Tais eventos geram grandes impactos socioambientais, principalmente em populações vulneráveis. O presente estudo possuía como objetivo avaliar o avanço científico no estudo do fenômeno das secas extremas que ocorrem no Nordeste do Brasil (NEB), buscando na literatura especializada, causas para o fenômeno através da metodologia da Revisão Sistemática de Literatura. Pesquisas apontam que as mudanças climáticas podem ser responsáveis por aumento na frequência e intensidade de secas extremas. A maioria dos estudos sobre o tema são realizados de forma qualitativa. Os estudos possibilitam previsões mais acuradas sobre as possíveis consequências das secas extremas no Brasil, embora, na maioria dos casos, não tenham avaliado ou realizado de forma quantitativa análises preditivas ou causais das secas extremas.

RNA molecule signature diagnosis could revolutionize personalized medicine
Professor Michael Levin from Imperial College London argues that in the DIAMONDS project, there has been a breakthrough response in personalized medicine via RNA molecular signature diagnosis. Correct treatment of patients requires first that their illness is accurately diagnosed. Although doctors aim to deliver the right treatment to each patient, current medical diagnosis is often far from precise, and a high proportion of patients are treated based on a doctor’s “best guess” rather than on a definite diagnosis. Nowhere is this more evident, than in the management of infectious and inflammatory diseases, which are among the most common conditions for which patients seek medical care.
Norske tannlegers kompetanse og behandling av tannbehandlingsangst

Published: April 2023

Hovedbudskap
Seks av ti norske tannleger opplever selv å ha kompetanse både på bruk av psykologiske teknikker og bruk av sedasjon i behandling av tannbehandlingsangst.
Offentlig ansatte tannleger oppgir oftere enn privatansatte å ha kompetanse innen bruk av både psykologiske teknikker og sedasjon i behandling av tannbehandlingsangst.
Nær halvparten av tannleger utdannet utenfor Norden har ikke fått undervisning om behandling av pasienter med tannbehandlingsangst i grunnutdanningen.
Tannleger med lav selvrapportert kompetanse på behandling av pasienter med tannbehandlingsangst opplever mer stress ved behandling av denne pasientgruppen.
Bruk av spørreskjema i kartlegging av tannbehandlingsangst brukes i svært liten grad av norske tannleger.
Attrisjon og erosjon i et yrkesskadeperspektiv
Authors: Mohammad Asha B. , Murad Fatima , Preus Hans R. 
Published: April 2023

Hovedbudskap
Pasienter kan bade ha slitasjeskader (attrisjon) og syreskader (erosjon) på tennene, spesielt om deres arbeidsmiljø inneholder faktorer (støv og syredamp) som forårsaker begge – «tribochemical wear».
Et arbeidsmiljø som inneholder syredamp kan forårsake «softening» av tannsubstans under emaljen uten at det synes, men som senere kan aksentuere attrisjon som er forårsaket av tanngnissing evt. ekstra påvirket av støv i luften.
NAV bør vurdere om «tribochemical wear» bør gi grunnlag for yrkesskade der skaden er invalidiserende.
Delirium, polypharmacy and adverse outcomes: findings from a hospital in Kerala, India
Authors: Manjaly Steve , Joju Aqueen , Francis Anu 
Published: April 2023

Introduction Delirium is an acute disorder of attention and awareness, a medical emergency associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Delirium remains under-recognised, and few studies are from India. Methods This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of delirium and its risk factors among hospitalised older patients admitted to medical and surgical wards in a teaching hospital in Central South India. We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study on 100 older patients admitted to medical and surgical wards in April-October, 2020. Patient data were obtained from a record review, extracting information on comorbidities, medications, and terms indicating delirium. Results Delirium was present in 39% of the study population and was significantly associated with older age (88%), abnormal electrolytes (59%), and polypharmacy (87%). Delirium was also significantly associated with mortality (28%) and prolonged hospital stay. (36%) Discussion The prevalence of delirium is high among older hospitalised patients and is significantly related to adverse hospital outcomes. The findings of this study could trigger changes in hospital policies in screening for delirium in older persons for its prompt recognition and prevention of adverse health outcomes.
Fire and Climate Change in the North American Great Lakes Pine Transition Forest
Authors: I. Apfelbaum Steven , Haney Alan 
Published: April 2023

This chapter explores potential changes in fire regimes and biodiversity given projected changes in climate in the Great Lakes Pine Transition Forest (GLPF), a portion of the southern boreal forest. We have studied how forest structure, composition, and biodiversity changed over nearly 500 years by comparing communities on comparable edaphic locations of various ages since stand-replacing disturbance. Our interpretation of probable future changes is based on how these ecosystems have reassembled after wildfire, blowdown, and insect disturbances in the past and projections of climate change in the next 75 years. Rapid climate change is now introducing different conditions from those to which this ecosystem was historically adapted, and therefore, projections of future change are more subjective.

Time usage analysis according to occupational area and satisfaction level in family caregivers of dementia patients
Authors: Jang Woo-Hyuk , Jang Jong-Sik , Park Jong-Hwi 
Published: April 2023

Background
This study was designed to investigate the difference between the family caregivers of dementia patients (hereafter referred to as dementia family) and the non-family caregivers of dementia patients (hereafter referred to as non-dementia family) in terms of time usage.

Methodology
A total of 102 dementia families who responded to the ‘time use survey’ in 2019 were enrolled in the study. 101 non-dementia families include families who did not respond to the ‘dementia’ item, and simple random sampling was performed. Time usage according to occupational area and satisfaction level were analyzed based on the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework-Fourth Edition (OTPF-4). Statistical analyses were completed using IBM SPSS 25. The data was analyzed by using frequency analysis and independent two-sample t-test. A level of p < 0.05 was used as a cut-off for statistical significance.

Results
As for the time consumption by occupational area of dementia families and non-dementia families, dementia families spent more time than non-dementia families in instrumental daily life activities. The increase in the time for instrumental activities of daily living, including the time for caring for dementia patients, may lead to changes in time use for members of the family with dementia. By comparing the time usage by occupational area according to gender within the dementia families, it was possible to find out the difference between male and female instrumental daily activities and health care time use. The difference in time use according to gender showed that women took on more caring roles than men, and actually spent more time than men.

Conclusion
The amount of time used between the dementia family and the non-dementia family differed according to the group and gender. These results suggest that dementia can cause changes in the time usage of dementia family. Therefore, this study recognizes the need for efficient use of time for dementia families and suggests that there is a need for a balanced use of time according to gender.

Aims: Patients’ satisfaction is an important health outcome, which is regarded as a determinant measure for quality of health care services. The aim of the study is to evaluate patients’ satisfaction regarding eye care services in a multi-specialty eye hospital of northern Bangladesh.
Methods: This cross sectional descriptive study was conducted among the patients who took the eye care services in OPD and admitted as in-patients in the hospital. Randomly selected patients were interviewed by trained staff. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to conduct these interviews. Their responses were grouped into one of five categories and evaluated to determine satisfaction for different components of eye care services. There were also open-ended questions regarding feedback from participants’ view and recommendations for the improvement of the quality of services.
Results: Four hundred and forty nine participants were interviewed. Among these, 71 (15.81%) were very satisfied and 358 (79.73%) were satisfied, constituting 95.54% satisfaction with overall services received at the hospital. 99.55% of respondents were satisfied with the doctors and 98.66% of respondents were satisfied with other hospital staff regarding patient care services. 86.1% patient had satisfaction with the cost of services, while 28.57% expressed that the surgery cost was high. Though the participants expressed dissatisfaction for the long waiting time in front of refraction and doctors’ consultation room during pick hours, 442 (98.4%) patients expressed their willingness to utilize the services again.
Conclusion: Although eye care services both in OPD and in the IPD were satisfactory according to the respondents, there are scopes for improvement. Patient satisfaction surveys should be encouraged in hospitals for better accountability and also for strengthening the quality of eye care services.

Published: April 2023

Seed Production of rice fallow blackgram variety, ADT3 has limitations due to inherent issues of soil fertility, climate change and thermo sensitivity results in poor flowering, reduced pod setting and poor seed filling. Macro and micro nutrients application during critical stages of growth were tried to improve the seed yield and quality in rice fallow blackgram variety ADT3. The combined foliar spraying of 0.5% NPK (macro) and 0.2% chelated micro nutrients mixture (Fe 2.5%, Mn 1.0%, Zn 3.0%, Cu 1.0%, Mo 0.1% and B 0.5%), were sprayed on 15th (Vegetative phase), 30th (Reproductive phase), 45th ( Flowering and pod formation phase) days after germination improved the growth and seed parameters viz., plant height, number of branches, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, filled seed % which resulted in increased seed yield in rice fallow blackgram variety, ADT3.
Response of macro and micro nutrients through foliar mode revealed the lack of soil fertility resulting in poor uptake of macro and micro nutrients. Foliar application induced uniform flowering and synchronous maturity of pods with least shattering which would facilitate mechanical harvesting. Foliar application of macro and micro nutrients phenotypically altered the source-sink which greatly influenced the yield of seed, germination and seedling quality parameters.
The effect of kV imaging dose on PTV and OAR planning constraints in lung SBRT using stereoscopic/monoscopic real‐time tumor‐monitoring system
Authors: Abeywardhana Ruwan , Sattarivand Mike 
Published: February 2025

AbstractPurposeQuantify the impact of additional imaging doses on clinical dose constraints during lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) treatment utilizing stereoscopic/monoscopic real‐time tumor monitoring.Materials and MethodsThirty lung SBRT patients treated with the volumetric arc therapy technique were randomly selected from the institutional clinical database. Contours of patients' and computed tomography data were extracted from the Eclipse treatment planning system, along with information regarding the treatment dose. Subsequently, patient‐specific three‐dimensional real‐time imaging dose distributions were computed using a validated Monte Carlo simulation of the ExacTrac imaging. The 3D imaging dose was added to the treatment dose, and the influence of the imaging dose on clinical dose constraints was analyzed for planning target volume (PTV) and various organs at risk (OARs).ResultsAmong the 30 patients, 14 patients exhibited one or more failed OAR constraints based solely on the treatment dose, resulting in a total of 24 constraint failures. The addition of the real‐time imaging dose altered the pass/fail criteria for one OAR constraint and two PTV constraints. The change in constraint due to additional imaging dose relative to the prescription dose was less than 1% for all patients, except for one case, where it reached 1.9%, which had remained below the threshold of 5% recommended by AAPM TG‐180 guidelines. Furthermore, the additional imaging dose relative to the treatment dose resulted in an increase in OAR constraints ranging from 0 to 27% (mean of 0.8%), with nine cases exceeding 5%.ConclusionThe current study represents the first attempt to investigate the impact of additional imaging doses on clinical planning constraints in real‐time tumor monitoring during lung SBRT utilizing ExacTrac imaging system. The addition of an imaging dose will likely have minimal clinical impact.
Automatic skin flash optimization in breast and chestwall VMAT with static angle modulated ports: Effect of HU and flash margin size on plan quality and robustness

Published: February 2025

AbstractSkin flash is typically added to breast and chestwall plans to ensure robust target coverage in the presence of respiratory motion, anatomic changes, and small setup uncertainties. Adding skin flash in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans is an iterative and manual process. RapidArc dynamic (RAD) is a new solution that integrates a dynamic collimator and static‐gantry angle modulated ports directly into arc delivery. The automatic skin flash tool (ASF) allows users to automatically add skin flash directly within the optimizer. The user must select the thickness and Hounsfield Units (HUs) of the flash region, but the optimal values are not currently known. For 13 left‐ and right‐sided breast and chestwall patients, RAD plans were created with no skin flash and with ASF with thickness of 5 to 20 mm and HU of −500 to 0 HU. To assess plan quality, DVH metrics for planning target volume (PTV), heart, ipsilateral lung, contralateral lung, and contralateral breast were recorded. To assess plan robustness, the isocenter was shifted 5 mm, moving the target 5 mm anteriorly into the flash region. The changes in clinical target volume (CTV) D95% and D99% were recorded. A paired t‐test was used to determine if changes in plan quality or robustness were statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05). The addition of ≥ 7 mm of skin flash resulted in robust plans. Varying the HU did not affect robustness. Increasing the skin flash beyond 10 mm increased PTV V105%. This increase was much larger in the 0 HU plans than in the −350 HU plans. We therefore recommend using −350 HU and 7–10 mm of skin flash for anticipated inter‐ and intra‐fraction motion of 5 mm.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThis article investigates the performance of a commercial BeO optically stimulated luminescent (OSL) dosimetry system (myOSLchip, RadPro GmbH International, Remscheid, Germany) through the application of the commissioning framework for luminescent dosimeters as described in the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 191 (AAPM TG191) report. Initial clinical experiences and dosimetric results are also presented. The following properties of the system were characterized: linearity correction factors ranged from ‐0.5% to +3% for dose levels spanning 0.1 to 20 Gy. Beam quality correction factors (relative to 6 MV) ranged from ‐4.5% (2.5FFF) to +4.5% (15MV) for photon beams and +1.9% (6 MeV) to +4.3% (20 MeV) for electron beams. An average (µ) signal loss per reading of ‐2.13% ± 0.20% was measured, however greater signal loss was observed in the first reading (µ = ‐2.6% ± 0.46%). An initial decline in individual element sensitivity relative to baseline was observed from 0–15 Gy cumulative dose (µ = ‐1.98% ± 0.55%), with negligible further deterioration from 15–32 Gy (µ = ‐2.38% ± 0.85%). Post‐irradiation, there was a transient OSL signal which faded with a half‐life of 1.8 min; this signal enhancement was +5% at 5 min post‐irradiation and +1% at 15 min relative to 24 h. Dosimeter response was not dependent on average dose rate in the range of 100–2500 MU/min. With respect to clinical testing, equal or superior performance compared with aluminum oxide OSLs (nanoDots) is shown for a range of clinical techniques and modalities including TSET, TBI, en‐face electrons, and pacemaker/out‐of‐field measurements. The feasibility of myOSLchip to serve as a primary clinical in vivo dosimetry system and direct replacement for Landauer's microStar system is demonstrated.

Published: February 2025

AbstractA key challenge in electronic skin with dual haptic‐stretch sensing is the interference between force‐sensitive modes. Existing solutions require complex integration processes or mathematical decoupling models. Effectively decoupling stretch and pressure response in flexible force‐sensitive sensors remains a critical task. Herein, a strain redistribution effect (SRE) of composite structural mainframe fulfills the decouple double‐mode force‐sensitive perception by the aid of a lightweight algorithm. The CAD‐assisted design enables the dual‐mode sensing structure to be configured as a three‐layer stacked composite. Utilizing differential Young's modulus distribution, the strain redistribution effect is achieved across the structured frame. Tensile deformation and tactile pressure are measured via resistance from the strain amplification region and capacitance from the strain suppression region, respectively. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) confirms a 53% deformation in the amplification region under 10% tensile strain, demonstrating a fivefold amplification effect. A lightweight random forest algorithm effectively decouples resistance‐capacitance signals, achieving R2 values of 0.99 and 0.75 for tensile deformation, and 0.99 and 0.78 for tactile pressure, respectively. This study leverages the strain redistribution effect of the composite structural frame to provide a novel structured integration scheme for the dual‐mode decoupled force‐sensitive sensing unit, which is expected to be a significant development path.
