Published: July 2022

BackgroundAccording to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), countries are required to reduce the mortality rates of four main non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), and cancer (CA), by one-third in 2030 from the 2015 level. However, progress fell short of expectations, partly attributed to the high rates of hypertension-related NCD mortality. This study aimed to investigate the mortality trends of SDG-targeted NCDs with comorbid hypertension. In addition, the disparities in mortality rates among different demographic subgroups were further explored.MethodsMortality data from 2000 to 2019 were acquired from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States. SDG-targeted NCDs were considered the underlying causes of death, and hypertension was considered a multiple cause of death. Permutation tests were performed to determine the time points of Joinpoints for mortality trends. The annual percent changes and average annual percent changes (AAPCs), as well as 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were calculated to demonstrate the temporary trend of mortality rates overall and by age, sex, ethnicity, and region.ResultsThe hypertension-related DM, CRD, and CA mortality rates increased over the 20 years, of which the AAPCs were 2.0% (95% CI: 1.4%, 2.6%), 3.2% (95% CI: 2.8%, 3.6%), and 2.1% (95% CI: 1.6%, 2.6%), respectively. Moreover, despite decreasing between 2005 and 2015, the hypertension-related CVD mortality rate increased from 2015 to 2019 [APC: 1.3% (95% CI: 0.7%, 1.9%)]. The increased trends were consistent across most age groups. Mortality rates among men were higher and increased faster than those among women. The hypertension-related CVD, DM, and CA mortality rates among African American people were higher than those among White people. The increased mortality rates in rural areas, especially in rural south, were higher than those in urban areas.ConclusionIn the United States, the hypertension-related DM, CRD, and CA mortality rates increased between 2000 and 2019, as well as hypertension-related CVD mortality between 2015 and 2019. Disparities existed among different sexes, ethnicities, and areas. Actions to prevent and manage hypertension among patients with NCDs are required to reduce the high mortality rates and minimize disparities.

Published: July 2022

BackgroundThe demand for healthcare is increasing due to an aging population, more people living with chronic diseases and medical comorbidities. To manage this demand, political institutions call for action to reduce the potentially avoidable hospitalizations. Quantitative and qualitative aspects should be considered to understand how and why interventions work, and for whom. The aim of this mixed methods systematic review was to identify and synthesize evidence on interventions targeting avoidable hospitalizations from the perspectives of the citizens and the healthcare professionals to improve the preventive healthcare services.Methods and ResultsA mixed methods systematic review was conducted following the JBI methodology using a convergent integrated approach to synthesis. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO, reg. no. CRD42020134652. A systematic search was undertaken in six databases. In total, 45 articles matched the eligibility criteria, and 25 of these (five qualitative studies and 20 quantitative studies) were found to be of acceptable methodological quality. From the 25 articles, 99 meaning units were extracted. The combined evidence revealed four categories, which were synthesized into two integrated findings: (1) Addressing individual needs through care continuity and coordination prevent avoidable hospitalizations and (2) Recognizing preventive care as an integrated part of the healthcare work to prevent avoidable hospitalizations.ConclusionsThe syntheses highlight the importance of addressing individual needs through continuous and coordinated care practices to prevent avoidable hospitalizations. Engaging healthcare professionals in preventive care work and considering implications for patient safety may be given higher priority. Healthcare administers and policy-makers could support the delivery of preventive care through targeted educational material aimed at healthcare professionals and simple web-based IT platforms for information-sharing across healthcare settings. The findings are an important resource in the development and implementation of interventions to prevent avoidable hospitalizations, and may serve to improve patient safety and quality in preventive healthcare services.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=134652, identifier: CRD42020134652.

PurposeOur objective is to pilot an advertisement-driven sampling procedure among African American (AA) breast cancer survivors living in Maryland. These pilot study methods will inform a future population-based study of AA breast cancer survivors at high risk of poor outcomes due to biological differences and social inequities.MethodsThis cross-sectional study utilizes an innovative, social media-based advertisement campaign with an associated social media study page to recruit 100 AA breast cancer survivors. Participants are biologically female, aged 18 and older, identify as AA/Black, have a diagnosis of breast cancer, and reside in Maryland. A preset “Audience” was created via Meta (formerly Facebook) to automatically target potential interest in the online study via geolocation and public social media interests (estimated range = 101,000 women). Eligible participants complete an online survey including demographic and clinical characteristics, cancer screening, healthcare access, and utilization, COVID-19 impact, quality of doctor-patient communication, and preferences for future study participation.ResultsRecruitment began on 5 January 2022 and remains ongoing. As of 7 June 2002: 124 completed the screener, 110/124 (88.7%) consented passively, 24/110 (21.8%) started but did not complete survey, 86/110 (78.1%) completed the survey.ConclusionsResults from this study will inform a statewide multilevel prospective population-based study to improve health behaviors, disease management, and self-efficacy of chronic disease management among AA breast cancer survivors.

Published: July 2022

BackgroundInfluenced by individual differences, the depth of gastric tube placement is often different. Clinically, it is necessary to seek a simple and accurate gastric tube insertion scheme to improve the clinical efficacy of indwelling gastric tube.Materials and MethodsA total of 100 adult patients undergoing transesophageal manometry via nose were included in the study. The in vivo length (NCL) of apex-cardia was measured. At the same time, we entered our institutional database, summarized the clinical data of 100 patients, and analyzed the risk factors affecting NCL using stepwise regression analysis.ResultsThe NCL length scores of patients with different gender, age, marital status, height, weight, BMI, sitting height, sternum length, hairline-xiphoid process, nose tip-earlobe-xiphoid process and earlobe-xiphoid process were statistically significant (P &lt; 0.05). Height, sitting height, gender, BMI and earlobe-xiphoid process were the factors that affected the NCL length score (P &lt; 0.05). The prediction equation of the estimation method of gastric tube insertion length was as follows: NCL length score = 39.907 + 2.909× height +0.865× sitting height. Adjust R2 to 0.506. NCL was positively correlated with height and sitting height. Among them, the correlation with height (r = 0.711, P &lt; 0.001) and sitting height (r = 0.397, P &lt; 0.001).ConclusionHeight, sitting height, gender, BMI and earlobe-xiphoid process were the factors that affected the score of NCL length. There was a significant positive correlation between height, sitting height and NCL length. On this basis, the length of nasogastric tube insertion could be estimated.

Published: July 2022

This study covers the modification, (bio)fouling characterization, use, and cleaning of commercial heterogeneous anion exchange membranes (AEMs) to evaluate their feasibility for reverse electrodialysis (RED) applications. A surface modification with poly (acrylic) acid resulted in an improved monovalent perm-selectivity (decreased sulfate membrane transport rate). Moreover, we evaluated the (bio)fouling potential of the membrane using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS), and Aeromonas hydrophila as model organic foulants and a biofoulant, respectively. A detailed characterization of the AEMs (water contact angle, ion exchange capacity (IEC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra) was carried out, verifying that the presence of such foulants reduces IEC and the maximum current obtained by CV. However, only SDS and SDBS affected the contact angle values. Cleaning of the biofouled membranes using a sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution allows for (partially) recovering their initial properties. Furthermore, this work includes a fouling characterization using real surface and sea water matrixes, confirming the presence of several types of fouling microorganisms in natural streams. A lower adhesion of microorganisms (measured in terms of total bacteria counts) was observed for the modified membranes compared to the unmodified ones. Finally, we propose a cleaning strategy to mitigate biofouling in AEMs that could be easily applied in RED systems for an enhanced long-term process performance.

Objective
. Initial performance evaluation of a system for simultaneous high-resolution ultrasound imaging and focused mechanical submillimeter histotripsy ablation in rat brains.
Impact Statement
. This study used a novel combination of high-resolution imaging and histotripsy in an endoscopic form. This would provide neurosurgeons with unprecedented accuracy in targeting and executing nonthermal ablations in minimally invasive surgeries.
Introduction
. Histotripsy is a safe and effective nonthermal focused ablation technique. However, neurosurgical applications, such as brain tumor ablation, are difficult due to the presence of the skull. Current devices are too large to use in the minimally invasive approaches surgeons prefer. We have developed a combined imaging and histotripsy endoscope to provide neurosurgeons with a new tool for this application.
Methods
. The histotripsy component had a 10 mm diameter, operating at 6.3 MHz. Affixed within a cutout hole in its center was a 30 MHz ultrasound imaging array. This coregistered pair was used to ablate brain tissue of anesthetized rats while imaging. Histological sections were examined, and qualitative descriptions of ablations and basic shape descriptive statistics were generated.
Results
. Complete ablations with submillimeter area were produced in seconds, including with a moving device. Ablation progress could be monitored in real time using power Doppler imaging, and B-mode was effective for monitoring post-ablation bleeding. Collateral damage was minimal, with a 100
μ
m maximum distance of cellular damage from the ablation margin.
Conclusion
. The results demonstrate a promising hardware suite to enable precision ablations in endoscopic procedures or fundamental preclinical research in histotripsy, neuroscience, and cancer.

The construction of Musi V Bridge is part of the series of Kapal Betung Toll Road, with the toll road in and out of Social Street which is connected to Lettu Karim Kadir Street. This study aims to obtain the performance of roads and intersections in Gandus District, obtain transportation modeling of traffic movements due to KayuAgung-Palembang-Betung Toll Road interchange, obtain predictions of the performance of roads and intersections resulting from traffic simulation models and provide policy suggestions in the form of strategies and traffic engineering management techniques. Data processing used the 2014 PKJI method and simulation with Vissim program. Results of data processing show that the performance of roads and intersections in existing conditions is still able to accommodate traffic flow, indicated by the degree of saturation that meets 2014 PKJI requirements, namely (DJ ≤ 0.85) with service level C and Vissim simulation results show the largest delay and queue length located in segment 3 (M Amin Fauzi Street -Tph Sofyian Kenawas Street) which is 138.18 meters and 21.02 seconds and on Lettu Karim Kadir Street (Direction of Musi II) of 14.04 seconds and 58.96 meters. After the operation of the Musi V Bridge, there was an increase in traffic volume which resulted in decreased performance of roads and intersections. Therefore, to improve its performance, road widening is carried out. The results of 2014 PKJI analysis showed a decrease in the degree of saturation from 0.43 to 0.35, a delay from 9.02 seconds / cur to 8.22 seconds / cur and the chances of queuing from 8.50 - 20.39% to 6.04 - 15.91% on Lettu Karim Kadir Street (Musi II Direction).

RESUMO
Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos cardiorrespiratórios da dexmedetomidina isolada e associada à morfina em pacientes submetidas à anestesia geral inalatória com isoflurano e submetidas à ovariohisterectomia eletiva. Vinte cadelas saudáveis foram selecionadas a partir de exames físico e laboratoriais. Os animais foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: dexmedetomidina (10 μg/Kg) (GD) e dexmedetomidina (10 μg/Kg) associado com morfina 0,3 mg/Kg (GDM), administrados pela via intramuscular (IM). Ato contínuo, o paciente foi induzido com propofol (à efeito) e mantido com isoflurano diluído em oxigênio 100% e administrado através de vaporizador calibrado. Foram aferidos os parâmetros fisiológicos: frequências cardíaca (FC) e respiratória (f), temperatura corporal (T°C), pressões arteriais sistólica (PAS), diastólica (PAD) e média (PAM), saturação de oxigênio na hemoglobina (SpO2), pressão parcial de gás carbônico no final da expiração (ETCO2) e isoflurano expirado (ETISO). A hemogasometria arterial foi utilizada para a análise do potencial hidrogeniônico (pH), bicarbonato (HCO3-) e pressão parcial de dióxido de carbono (PaCO2). O procedimento cirúrgico teve duração máxima de 45 minutos. Os parâmetros demonstraram diferença estatística entre os tempos e grupos avaliados, de acordo com os testes de Tukey e Bonferroni (p<0,05). Observou-se bradicardia 30 minutos após a aplicação da medicação pré-anestésica e acidemia no período trans-anestésico. Apesar disto, tanto a dexmedetomidina isolada quanto associada, conferiram estabilidade hemodinâmica e respiratória, apesar da bradicardia e acidemia observada.

Authors: Nurhaliza Siti , Raflah Wan Junita 
Published: July 2022

The determination of the selling price will affect the level of consumer purchasing power, specifically, if the price offered is too high, it will have an impact on the decline in consumer purchasing power. As a result, the product willbe unable to compete in the market and vice versa. Even though the products offered at low prices can compete in the market, the profit achieved by the company will not be maximized. This study aims to determine the selling price of dried lomek products at BUMDes Kuala Alam, as well as the selling price of dried lomek products using the cost plus pricing method. This study uses a quantitative descriptive research method by collecting data from BUMDes Kuala Alam, observing the data and displaying the results in the tables described. This study obtained the results that there are differences in determining the selling price of dried lomek between the methods used by BUMDes and the Cost Plus Pricing method. The difference in the inclusion of variable factory overhead costs and fixed factory overhead costs. The method of determining the selling price of Cost Plus Pricing is able to determine the selling price that is able to compete. Because the selling price is below the market selling price range for 100 Kg is Rp. 13,700/pcs and the selling price of 1000 Kg is Rp. 8,000/pcs. Keywords: Pricing Strategy, Selling Price, Cost Plus Pricing Method.
X-ray features of congenital deformities of the facial bones
Authors: Arzhantsev A.P. 
Published: July 2022

Radiological manifestations of congenital deformities of the maxillofacial region were studied in 650 patients. We used data of teleradiography of the skull, orthopantomography, panoramic zonography middle area of the facial section of the skull and temporomandibular joints, cone-beam and multislice computed tomography.
According to the type of radiological manifestations, congenital deformities of the maxillofacial region are divided into 3 main types: clefts of the alveolar process of the upper jaw and palate, isolated or combined deformation of the jaws, deformation of the facial and brain skull.
Clefts of the alveolar process of the upper jaw and palate are accompanied by deformity of the nasal cavity, the upper jaw and its dentition, malocclusion, and compensatory changes in the lower jaw. The combined deformation of the jaws are characterized by a variety of radiological manifestations, they are often accompanied by deformation of the other divisions of the skull. The most complex pathology associated with pronounced changes in the size and configuration of the bones are combined deformities of the facial and cerebral skull.
We presented data on the occurrence of the studied types of congenital deformities, which are discussed with specific examples of their radiographic features.
It is shown that X-ray diagnostics of congenital deformities of the dentoalveolar system, the entire facial skeleton, including in combination with the cerebral part of the skull, can be objectively carried out by means of radiological techniques that are common in practice, in addition to which it is advisable to use CT.

For a more accurate prognosis of surgical intervention and prognosis of the course of the operation, an accurate study of the diagnostic assessment of contrast multislice computed tomography (MS CT) and endovascular angiography was carried out in assessing the extent of occlusion of surgical intervention and effectively detecting blood flow in the vascular bed of craniovertebrofacial localization and lower extremities.
Patients with subtotal jaw defects were studied against the background of the lower preoperative preparation and on the 3rd day of the postoperative period.
It was revealed e556 that the analysis of CT MS sections does not have a sufficient degree of functional features and rheological parameters, which may increase the risk of postoperative complications.
It was concluded that in order to determine the results of rheological parameters in vascularized autografts and to evaluate the signs of the transplanted fragment, it is necessary to use the method of X-ray endovascular angiography.
