Abstract
There are lingering questions about the effectiveness of the watch, warning, and advisory system (WWA) used to convey weather threats in the United States. Recently there has been a shift toward alternative communication strategies such as the impact-based forecast. The study reported here compared users’ interpretation of a color-coded impact-based prototype designed for email briefings, to a legacy WWA format. Participants, including emergency managers and members of the public, saw a weather briefing and rated event likelihood, severity, damage, and population affected. Then they recommended emergency response actions. Each briefing described the severity of the weather event and the degree of impact on population and property. In one condition a color-coded impacts scale was added to the text description. In another, an advisory and/or warning was added to the text description. These were compared with the text-only control. Both emergency managers and members of the public provided higher ratings for event likelihood, severity, damage, and population affected and recommended a greater response for higher impact levels regardless of format. For both groups, the color-coded format decreased ratings for lower-impact events. Among members of the public, the color-coded format also led to increases for many ratings and greater response at higher levels relative to the other two conditions. However, the highest ratings among members of the public were in the WWA condition. Somewhat surprisingly, the only effect of the WWA format on emergency managers was to reduce action recommendations, probably because of the inclusion of the “advisory” in some briefings.

Background: Psychotropic medications are essential in the treatment of mental illness. Unfortunately, these medications are associated with side effects that may reduce adherence to treatment and quality of life. Therefore, systematic screening for side effects is fundamental to optimize treatment with psychotropic medications. Self-report of side effects is a practical alternative to time-consuming clinical assessments. We developed the Aarhus Side effect Assessment Questionnaire (ASAQ) in an attempt to strike the balance between extensive coverage of side effects and reasonable application time. Aim: The aim of the study was to validate the ASAQ using the clinician-rated Udvalg for Kliniske Undersøgelser (UKU) Side Effect Scale as gold standard reference. Methods: A total of 122 inpatients and outpatients—mainly with psychotic (39%) and affective disorders (43%)—receiving treatment with psychotropic medication completed the ASAQ and the World Health Organization–Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5) and were subsequently rated on the UKU by trained raters. Results: Using the UKU as the gold standard reference, the ASAQ demonstrated sensitivity values >75% for 77% of its 30 items (ranging from 37% for cutaneous disturbances to 98% for increased sweating) and specificity values >75% for 47% of its 30 items (ranging from 28% for reduced sleep to 98% for micturition disturbances). While 17% of the participants considered discontinuing their medication, 24% had recently refrained from taking their medication as prescribed. A negative correlation was found between the ASAQ and the WHO-5 and total scores (Pearson’s correlation coefficient = –0.44). Conclusions: The self-reported ASAQ seems to be a sensitive tool for detecting side effects of psychotropic medications.

Background: There are limited epidemiologic data examining the incidence of pediatric anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) over the past decade. Purpose: To examine statewide population trends in the incidence of ACLR in a pediatric population. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Inpatient and outpatient claims for pediatric patients who underwent ACLR between 2009 and 2017 were identified in the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database via International Classification of Diseases (ICD), Revision 9, Clinical Modification; ICD, Revision 10, Clinical Modification and Procedural Classification System; or Current Procedural Terminology codes. New York population data for each year between 2009 and 2017 were used from the New York State Department of Health to calculate the rates of ACLR per 100,000 people aged 3 to 19 years and determine the 95% confidence limits. The rates were then stratified by age, sex, and insurance. Two-year rates of revision and contralateral ACLR were also analyzed by sex. Results: Between 2009 and 2017, 20,170 pediatric ACLRs were identified. The rates of pediatric ACLR increased steadily from 49.3 per 100,000 in 2009 (95% CI, 47.2-51.4) to a peak of 61.0 (95% CI, 58.6-63.4) in 2014 and decreased to 51.8 (95% CI, 49.6-54.1) by 2017. The age group 15 to 17 years had the highest rates of ACLR of all age groups, peaking at 198.5 (95% CI, 188.3-208.7) per 100,000. Analysis by sex showed that ACLR rates between males and females were not different. Males had a 2-year ipsilateral revision rate of 4.3%, while females had a rate of 3.3% ( P = .0001). Females had a contralateral ACLR rate of 4.0%, while males had a rate of 2.6% ( P = .0002). Conclusion: Pediatric ACLR rates continued to rise until 2014, but there was a demonstrable decrease in rates after 2014. This decline in pediatric ACLR may point to the efficacy of injury prevention programs or changes in practice management. The high revision rate in males and high contralateral surgery rate in females can help guide patient counseling for return to play and complication risk. Clinical Relevance: This study showed that ACLR in pediatric patients may be decreasing in recent years. There were differences in revision and contralateral ACLR by sex.

Published: March 2022

Background This study evaluated whether sexual health services (SHS) across the UK could meet the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health (FSRH) standard for access by being able to offer an appointment for a long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) fitting within 2 weeks of initial contact. Methods SHSs offering LARCs were identified using the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) clinic database. During October 2020, all clinics open for more than 1 day a week were contacted by telephone. The researcher posed as a 20-year-old woman in a regular heterosexual relationship who was using condoms and requesting a contraceptive implant. Data collected included the time to wait to appointment and whether clinics offered bridging methods of contraception during any delay in appointment. It was also noted whether a local COVID-19 restriction was in place at the time of the call. The information collected was coded, and data was analysed using chi-square tests in SPSSv27. Results Of the 218 contactable clinics, 51.4% ( n = 112) of clinics offered the patient an appointment within two weeks, and 66.1% ( n = 144) of clinics could offer appointments within four weeks. 7.3% ( n = 16) of clinics offered the patient adjunct bridging oral contraception until the time of appointment. Comparing the devolved nations, 11/17 (64.7%) clinics in Scotland, 8/13 (61.5%) clinics in Wales, 0/4 (0.0%) clinics in Northern Ireland and 93/182 (51.1%) clinics in England offered an appointment within two weeks with significant regional variation across England ( p = .005). No statistically significant difference was demonstrated in access between clinics with or without high-level COVID-19 restrictions ( p = .056). Conclusion The 2-week standard was met in just over half of the occasions, with significant variation across regions across the UK. The development of a national target for access may improve access to LARCs.

Introduction Androgen deprivation therapy remains the essential treatment for disseminated prostate cancer. Interstitial pneumonitis following this therapy has been documented for just a few cases. However, reported cases frequently describe the onset of symptoms after recent administration (days or a few weeks) of both GnRH analogues and androgen antagonists, which makes the precise individual impact of each treatment difficult to estimate. Case report This report presents a case of a 94-year-old patient with interstitial pneumonitis whose onset started three months after the first dose of leuprorelin and bicalutamide for a metastatic prostate cancer. Management and outcome Once other possible diagnosis were ruled out, empiric corticosteroid treatment was initiated within 48 h of the admission. A spectacular clinical and radiological improvement was observed after 3 doses of steroids, enabling the patient to recover his basal respiratory situation. We considered that the most probable cause was toxic interstitial pneumonitis induced by leuprorelin. Discussion To our knowledge, it describes the longest interval between last administration of antiandrogen therapy and the development of pneumonitis. This fact may support a direct relation with leuprorelin, whose serum levels remain high for months because of its long-acting depot formulation.

Authors: Velázquez Fuentes Melannie N , Shah Pooja , Hale Genevieve M 
Published: March 2022

Background Pharmacist-led telehealth services have resulted in improvements in several disease states, including diabetes and conditions requiring anticoagulation. Pharmacists who used telehealth methods to follow up with their patient have noticed an increase in medication adherence. Methods Using PubMed and EBSCO secondary databases, inclusion criteria were any peer-reviewed study design such as randomized controlled trials, literature reviews, systematic reviews, and cohort studies published within the last 10 years. Search terms included pharmacist, telemedicine, telehealth, cardiovascular disease, and medication adherence. Results Seventeen articles were reviewed. Most pharmacist interventions for patients with hypertension involving telemedicine, E-Health, or remote monitoring were performed in the outpatient setting. The primary target of most studies consisted of improving medication adherence. Conclusion Pharmacist services play an integral role in maintaining medication adherence among the hypertensive population. Telehealth is an effective method of communication with patients to ensure their health is maintained, minimizing barriers of access to care.

Purpose To compare the technical performance and outcomes of Solitaire and Neuroform stents for treatment of intracranial bifurcation aneurysms (IBAs). Methods IBAs treated by stent-assisted coiling using a Solitaire or Neuroform stent between October 2010 and December 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Patient demographics, aneurysm information, treatment technique, periprocedural and device-related complications, parent artery angle change, along with initial and follow-up angiographic results were analyzed. Results One hundred twenty-one patients with 121 IBAs treated with Solitaire (n = 101) or Neuroform (n = 20) stent-assisted coiling were included. Aneurysm size, thrombotic and hemorrhagic complication rate, initial occlusion rate and in-stent stenosis between the two cohorts were not significantly different. Aneurysm location was significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.032). Jailing technique rate for coiling was significantly higher in the Solitaire than the Neuroform group (70.3% vs. 35.0%, p < 0.01). Follow-up DSA demonstrated a significantly lower recurrence rate for the Solitaire cohort (2.9% vs. 22.2%, p = 0.016). Parent artery angle changes, immediately post-operative and on follow-up were significantly greater in the Solitaire stent group (p < 0.05). Conclusions For intracranial bifurcation aneurysms, Solitaire stent-assisted coiling achieved a significantly lower recurrence rate and induced more favorable parent artery angular remodeling than Neuroform stenting.

Published: March 2022

Introduction The severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 pandemic spread quickly. Health professionals are facing new challenges and looking for new ways to provide care in the context of lockdown and physical distancing. The Saint Vincent de Paul Hospital has leveraged its recent post-emergency teleconsultation solution (TELE-SCOPE), to address some COVID situations. Thanks to the usual follow-up teleconsultation within 24 h after their emergency discharge and the introduction of an additional one six days after, the eligible patients are able to return home earlier. This article provides feedback on how teleconsultation helps manage such a crisis. We also present an analysis of the treated population. Materials and methods The study includes the cases of 239 patients presenting symptoms of COVID-19 infection with a COVID score <4 over a period from 16 March to 11 May 2020. These were patients from the emergency department (ED) or COVID units. We based our analysis on the patient's medical files and an individual survey. Results One hundred and eighty-four teleconsultations (with video) and 143 phone calls were carried out. By the end of the teleconsultations, 92.9% were getting better and did not need further follow-up, 5.9% were reconvened to the ED, and 2.5% were hospitalized. No patient died, nor did get hospitalized in intensive care. In total, 95.6% are strongly or rather satisfied with the care provided by teleconsultation and 87.7% of patients are ready to reuse TELE-SCOPE as a means of monitoring in the context of the epidemic. Conclusion The teleconsultations are efficient and safe to follow patients with confirmed or suspected non-severe COVID infection (COVID score <4) after discharge from the emergency room or hospitalisation. It protects the patients and practitioners. The patient's satisfaction is high.

Background Hospital workers are at high risk of COVID-19 infection which is now vaccine-preventable. However, vaccine refusals also occur among hospital workers, but the associated factors have not been described. Objectives To describe: (1) the level of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance, and; (2) the extent that history of pre-pandemic vaccine hesitancy and health beliefs regarding COVID-19 were associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among workers at a tertiary hospital in southern Thailand. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using a paper-based self-administered questionnaire at a tertiary hospital in south Thailand in April 2021 and used multivariable logistic regression to identify psychological-behavioral factors associated with vaccine acceptance. Results Of 359 workers invited to participate, 226 participants returned the questionnaires, 67% of whom reported willingness to accept the vaccine. Vaccine acceptance was associated with perceived severity of disease (Adjusted OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.04, 4.10), perceived harm from non-vaccination (Adjusted OR = 2.51, 95% CI = 1.27, 4.96), and lower expectation of vaccine efficacy (Adjusted OR = 3.80, 95% CI = 1.87, 7.71). Conclusion Most workers in this study were willing to accept the COVID-19 vaccine, and such acceptance was associated with components of the health belief model. However, the cross-sectional study design did not allow causal inference, and study data were all self-reported with no probing of the responses. These limitations should be considered as caveats in the interpretation of the study findings.

Published: March 2022

The question addressed by the studySmall airway collapse during expiration, known as expiratory flow limitation (EFL), can be detected using oscillometry and is associated with worse clinical outcomes in COPD. This study investigated the prevalence of EFL in a cohort of highly symptomatic patients, evaluated clinical and lung function characteristics of patients with EFL and studied the repeatability of EFL over 6 months.Materials/patients and methods70 patients were recruited. Clinical characteristics and lung function metrics were collected at baseline and 6 months. Impulse oscillometry was used to detect the presence of EFL. Patients were defined as EFLHigh(change in reactance measured at 5 Hz (ΔX5) ≥0.28 kPa·L−1·s−1); EFLIntermediate(ΔX50.1–0.27 kPa·L−1·s−1) and EFLNone(ΔX5<0.1 kPa·L−1·s−1).ResultsEFLHighwas present in 47.8% of patients at baseline. ΔX5showed excellent repeatability over 6 months (ρ=0.78, p<0.0001, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.88), with the best repeatability observed in EFLNoneand EFLHighpatients (ICC 0.77 and 0.65, respectively). Compared to EFLNonepatients, EFLHighhad a higher body mass index, worse health-related quality of life and increased peripheral airway resistance. EFLIntermediatewas more variable over time with less severe physiological impairment.Answer to the questionOverall, these data indicate that EFLHighis a common, and relatively stable, component of disease pathophysiology in highly symptomatic COPD patients. EFLHighwas also associated with worse quality of life and obesity.
Numerical Quantification Model and Experiment of External Force on Roller Hemming of Curved Edge Aluminium Alloy with Adhesive

Published: March 2022

AbstractAccurate quantification of external force is the key to improve the high-precision hemming of autobody closure panels. However, the mechanism of external force on forming quality of complex contour sheet metal with adhesive is not clear subjected to geometric curvature and materials. In the present study, taking the curved edge aluminum sheet as the research object, SPH (smooth particle hydrodynamics) is introduced to simulate the viscous adhesive, and the SPH-FEM (Finite element method) coupling model of adhesive and panels considering the viscosity-pressure effect is established. The numerical simulation of the roller hemming process is carried out, then the validity and reliability of the proposed method are verified by measuring the external force in real time using triaxial force sensor. The multi-step forming process and the effect of external force on the roll in/out, surface wave and plastic strain of aluminum alloy sheet under the viscosity-pressure effect are studied, and the relationship between process parameters and external force is discussed. Results show that the coupling SPH-FEM model can well reflect the hemming process of curved edge structure. The normal force is about 2–3 times of the tangential force in the pre and final hemming process. Compared with the case without adhesive, the surface wave of flange part of the hemming with adhesive is slightly larger. The normal force and the tangential force increase about 90 N and 30 N respectively, when the height increases by 1 mm. It provides an important basis for the accurate control of hemming trajectory and the improvement of manufacturing quality of autobody closure panels.
