Published: June 2022

Background
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection is 1 of the 20 notable neglected tropical diseases according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization. In 2010, it is estimated that 1.73 billion people are infected with STH globally, of which 70% of cases occur in Asia. To date, there is a dearth of published literature on the prevalence of STH infection throughout Malaysia.

Objective
The objectives of this study are to review research activity on STH infection in Malaysia, to estimate the prevalence of STH infection among Malaysians, and to identify significant risk factors associated with the infection. This review aims to provide the current state of evidence pertaining to STH infections, focusing on the main areas, limitations, and biases of research and mapping out the morbidity distribution of the diseases and their causative agents, and to identify significant risk factors for preventive measures.

Methods
We will conduct a scoping review based on the 6-stage structured framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley. A comprehensive search strategy focusing on STH infection will be executed using electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase). A systematic approach for searching, screening, reviewing, and data extraction will be applied based on the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. Mendeley software and Microsoft Excel will be used to manage the references and to remove duplicates. Relevant data from selected articles will be extracted using a standardized data extraction form.

Results
A total of 164 potential manuscripts were retrieved. Data extraction is currently in progress and completion is expected by the end of 2022.

Conclusions
Our scoping review will summarize the current state of research in this field and provide comprehensive information regarding STH infections in Malaysia for future reference.

Excess Google Searches for Child Abuse and Intimate Partner Violence During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Infoveillance Approach
Authors: Riddell Corinne A , Neumann Krista , Santaularia N Jeanie , Farkas Kriszta , Ahern Jennifer , Mason Susan M 
Published: June 2022

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has created environments with increased risk factors for household violence, such as unemployment and financial uncertainty. At the same time, it led to the introduction of policies to mitigate financial uncertainty. Further, it hindered traditional measurements of household violence.

Objective
Using an infoveillance approach, our goal was to determine if there were excess Google searches related to exposure to child abuse, intimate partner violence (IPV), and child-witnessed IPV during the COVID-19 pandemic and if any excesses are temporally related to shelter-in-place and economic policies.

Methods
Data on relative search volume for each violence measure was extracted using the Google Health Trends application programming interface for each week from 2017 to 2020 for the United States. Using linear regression with restricted cubic splines, we analyzed data from 2017 to 2019 to characterize the seasonal variation shared across prepandemic years. Parameters from prepandemic years were used to predict the expected number of Google searches and 95% prediction intervals (PI) for each week in 2020. Weeks with searches above the upper bound of the PI are in excess of the model’s prediction.

Results
Relative search volume for exposure to child abuse was greater than expected in 2020, with 19% (10/52) of the weeks falling above the upper bound of the PI. These excesses in searches began a month after the Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program ended. Relative search volume was also heightened in 2020 for child-witnessed IPV, with 33% (17/52) of the weeks falling above the upper bound of the PI. This increase occurred after the introduction of shelter-in-place policies.

Conclusions
Social and financial disruptions, which are common consequences of major disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may increase risks for child abuse and child-witnessed IPV.
The AI Will See You Now: Feasibility and Acceptability of a Conversational AI Medical Interviewing System
Authors: Hong Grace , Smith Margaret , Lin Steven 
Published: June 2022

Background
Primary care physicians (PCPs) are often limited in their ability to collect detailed medical histories from patients, which can lead to errors or delays in diagnosis. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) show promise in augmenting current human-driven methods of collecting personal and family histories; however, such tools are largely unproven.

Objective
The main aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a conversational AI medical interviewing system among patients.

Methods
The study was conducted among adult patients empaneled at a family medicine clinic within a large academic medical center in Northern California. Participants were asked to test an AI medical interviewing system, which uses a conversational avatar and chatbot to capture medical histories and identify patients with risk factors. After completing an interview with the AI system, participants completed a web-based survey inquiring about the performance of the system, the ease of using the system, and attitudes toward the system. Responses on a 7-point Likert scale were collected and evaluated using descriptive statistics.

Results
A total of 20 patients with a mean age of 50 years completed an interview with the AI system, including 12 females (60%) and 8 males (40%); 11 were White (55%), 8 were Asian (40%), and 1 was Black (5%), and 19 had at least a bachelor’s degree (95%). Most participants agreed that using the system to collect histories could help their PCPs have a better understanding of their health (16/20, 80%) and help them stay healthy through identification of their health risks (14/20, 70%). Those who reported that the system was clear and understandable, and that they were able to learn it quickly, tended to be younger; those who reported that the tool could motivate them to share more comprehensive histories with their PCPs tended to be older.

Conclusions
In this feasibility and acceptability pilot of a conversational AI medical interviewing system, the majority of patients believed that it could help clinicians better understand their health and identify health risks; however, patients were split on the effort required to use the system, and whether AI should be used for medical interviewing. Our findings suggest areas for further research, such as understanding the user interface factors that influence ease of use and adoption, and the reasons behind patients’ attitudes toward AI-assisted history-taking.
Clinical Targets and Attitudes Toward Implementing Digital Health Tools for Remote Measurement in Treatment for Depression: Focus Groups With Patients and Clinicians
Authors: de Angel Valeria , Lewis Serena , White Katie M , Matcham Faith , Hotopf Matthew 
Published: June 2022

Background
Remote measurement technologies, such as smartphones and wearable devices, can improve treatment outcomes for depression through enhanced illness characterization and monitoring. However, little is known about digital outcomes that are clinically meaningful to patients and clinicians. Moreover, if these technologies are to be successfully implemented within treatment, stakeholders’ views on the barriers to and facilitators of their implementation in treatment must be considered.

Objective
This study aims to identify clinically meaningful targets for digital health research in depression and explore attitudes toward their implementation in psychological services.

Methods
A grounded theory approach was used on qualitative data from 3 focus groups of patients with a current diagnosis of depression and clinicians with >6 months of experience with delivering psychotherapy (N=22).

Results
Emerging themes on clinical targets fell into the following two main categories: promoters and markers of change. The former are behaviors that participants engage in to promote mental health, and the latter signal a change in mood. These themes were further subdivided into external changes (changes in behavior) or internal changes (changes in thoughts or feelings) and mapped with potential digital sensors. The following six implementation acceptability themes emerged: technology-related factors, information and data management, emotional support, cognitive support, increased self-awareness, and clinical utility.

Conclusions
The promoters versus markers of change differentiation have implications for a causal model of digital phenotyping in depression, which this paper presents. Internal versus external subdivisions are helpful in determining which factors are more susceptible to being measured by using active versus passive methods. The implications for implementation within psychotherapy are discussed with regard to treatment effectiveness, service provision, and patient and clinician experience.

Authors: PhD Michael A. Milton, 
Published: June 2022

Lost and Found: Public Theology in the Secular Age is an
anthology of monographs offered to the general public as a contribution
of distinctively Christian thinking about the personal and public
implications for following Jesus Christ in “A Secular Age” (Charles
Taylor, 2009). The monographs are written by subject matter
experts—clergy, and laity; academics and practitioners; theologians
representing a variety of traditions within the Church, as well as
professionals from business, law, and medicine— with a common mission
to leverage their expertise in the service of Christ and His Church. The
work is a public theology initiative of the D. James Kennedy Institute
of Reformed Leadership, a ministry, and program of Faith for Living,
Inc., a North Carolina nonprofit corporation. The collection address
twelve areas of Christian witness at work within the framework of the
“Secular Age,” and is grouped under four “areas:” Ideas, Daily Life,
the Nation, and Triggers. Each area constitutes a division of the
collection. Each of the four divisions contains three issues. The twelve
issues represent the twelve chapter chapters in the book.
“Throw it in as a Covariate?” Common Problems Using Measured Control Variables in Experimental Research
Authors: Piercey M. David 
Published: June 2022

SUMMARYThis paper discusses common pitfalls in the use of covariates in experimental accounting and auditing research. Sometimes these mistakes are uncovered in the review process, giving authors more problems to wade through (including a little credibility loss with reviewers) in an already-difficult review process. Sometimes these mistakes are not uncovered in the review process, leading to analyses that support dubious inferences in the published literature. Sometimes these mistakes are even introduced into papers by reviewer comments. Two objectives of this paper are (1) to help authors and coauthors (including early-career researchers) prevent some common, unforced errors from making their way into their research, and (2) to give authors, reviewers, and editors a reference for explaining within the review process why a covariate should be modeled in a certain way, without having to begin the discussion of these ideas from scratch.

OBJECTIVE
To examine whether the effect of a 3-year lifestyle intervention on body weight and cardiometabolic risk factors differs by prediabetes metabolic phenotype.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This post hoc analysis of the multicenter, randomized trial, PREVention of diabetes through lifestyle interventions and population studies In Europe and around the World (PREVIEW), included 1,510 participants with prediabetes (BMI ≥25 kg ⋅ m−2; defined using oral glucose tolerance tests). Of these, 58% had isolated impaired fasting glucose (iIFG), 6% had isolated impaired glucose tolerance (iIGT), and 36% had IFG+IGT; 73% had normal hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c; &lt;39 mmol ⋅ mol−1) and 25% had intermediate HbA1c (39–47 mmol ⋅ mol−1). Participants underwent an 8-week diet-induced rapid weight loss, followed by a 148-week lifestyle-based weight maintenance intervention. Linear mixed models adjusted for intervention arm and other confounders were used.

RESULTS
In the available-case and complete-case analyses, participants with IFG+IGT had greater sustained weight loss after lifestyle intervention (adjusted mean at 156 weeks −3.5% [95% CI, −4.7%, −2.3%]) than those with iIFG (mean −2.5% [−3.6%, −1.3%]) relative to baseline (P = 0.011). Participants with IFG+IGT and iIFG had similar cardiometabolic benefits from the lifestyle intervention. The differences in cardiometabolic benefits between those with iIGT and IFG+IGT were minor or inconsistent in different analyses. Participants with normal versus intermediate HbA1c had similar weight loss over 3 years and minor differences in cardiometabolic benefits during weight loss, whereas those with normal HbA1c had greater improvements in fasting glucose, 2-h glucose (adjusted between-group difference at 156 weeks −0.54 mmol ⋅ L−1 [95% CI −0.70, −0.39], P &lt; 0.001), and triglycerides (difference −0.07 mmol ⋅ L−1 [−0.11, −0.03], P &lt; 0.001) during the lifestyle intervention.

CONCLUSIONS
Individuals with iIFG and IFG+IGT had similar improvements in cardiometabolic health from a lifestyle intervention. Those with normal HbA1c had greater improvements than those with intermediate HbA1c.

Sistem imun atau sistem kekebalan tubuh merupakan semua mekanisme tubuh untuk mempertahankan diri dari serangan benda asing yang masuk kedalam tubuh. Keberadaan sistem imun dalam tubuh manusia sangat penting, hal itu dikarenakan sistem imun akan menyerang antigen yang masuk kedalam tubuh sehingga kita terhindar dari berbagai penyakit. Selain sebagai benteng pertahanan dari berbagai antigen, sistem imun juga berperan dalam peremajaan sel-sel yang telah mengalami kerusakan dan kematian serta berperan dalam membersihkan sisa-sisa sel buangan. Bagi orang-orang yang mempunyai kelainan terhadap sistem imun, mereka akan memiliki gangguan- gangguan yang disebabkan oleh sistem imun mereka sendiri. Akupresur merupakan teknik pengobatan tradisional dari Tiongkok, yaitu dengan menekan pada titik tertentu menggunakan ibu jari atau alat khusus yang terbuat dari kayu, mudah dipelajari dan efektif. Fungsi akupresur yaitu meningkatkan imunitas tubuh sehingga tidak mudah terserang penyakit, merangsang sistem saraf, membuat tubuh menjadi rileks dan lebih bertenaga, memperbaiki kualitas tidur. Tujuan kegiatan PKM ini adalah untuk memberikan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan pada kader kesehatan di Puskesmas Yosomulyo tentang akupresur meningkatkan imunitas tubuh. Metode kegiatan pelatihan dengan ceramah, diskusi, praktik dan evaluasi. Kegiatan berlokasi di Puskesmas Yosomulyo Metro Pusat.

An Application of Logistic Regression Modeling to Predict Risk Factors for Bypass Graft Diagnosis in Erbil
Authors: Khudhur Azhin M. , Kadir Dler H. 
Published: June 2022

In the medical world, predictive models for assessing operative risk using patient risk factors have gained appeal as a useful tool for adjusting surgical outcomes. The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between the severity of atherosclerosis as determined by angiography and changes in several key biochemical, hormonal, and hematological variables in patients who had Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. This study included 100 adult patients who had coronary angiography, as well as a standardized case-control study of acute myocardial infarction that included 60 healthy people. In addition, not all investigations of heart attack disorders were concerned with modeling; rather, they were all concerned with classification. A family of Generalized Linear Models called Binary Logistic Regression was used. Because most phenomena' outcomes have only two values (alive/dead, exposed/not exposed, presence/absence and etc.), logistic regression analysis is a common method and plays an important role in health science. Overall, 62.5% of individuals were grouped into surgical bypass grafts, while 37.5% were healthy people. Hemoglobin A1c (HBA1C) was wisely significant, and the odds of one unit increase led to roughly 7.488 times higher. Age and Body Mass Index (BMI) had quite high and substantial effect parameters with a 1.2 times higher likelihood than those who have smaller BMI and younger. According to the study, smokers were more likely to be at risk of undergoing bypass surgery by 4.18 times. However, there was no significant link between gender, screening creatinine, Cholesterol (CHO), Triglycerides (TG), High-density lipoprotein levels (HDL), Lower density level (LDL), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) with the outcome variable.
