description: Unintended pregnancy remains a significant issue in the United States. Despite increasing access to oral emergency contraception, the rates of unintended pregnancy and abortion have failed to decrease. The copper intrauterine device (copper IUD) is both a highly effective method of long-term contraception and emergency contraception when inserted within 120 hours of unprotected intercourse. However, the use of the copper IUD remains low among women in the United States. At present, research focuses on oral emergency contraception and on the individual characteristics of women and their use of emergency contraception. This dissertation explores the factors influencing a woman's emergency contraceptive method selection, and the impact of health care providers and male partners. Three separate articles are presented which were submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Note. Endrödi (1966a: 429) gives a description and drawings of the parameres of Stenocrates inelegans Arrow, 1913 (1913a: 465) which do not correspond with those of the type specimen in the BMNH. The S. inelegans of Endrödi is therefore a homonym of S. inelegans Arrow, 1913. According to Dupuis and Dechambre (1995: 59) its replacement name is S. bollei Dechambre, 1985 (p. 142). The true S. inelegans is now considered a subspecies of S. cultor.

Difficult choices: autonomy and the liberal state

Will kymlicka

description: This project concerns a deeply contested moral ideal: autonomy. To be autonomous is to have authority over one's self and to govern one's life on the basis of value commitments one deems important. One of the dominant views of liberalism - antiperfectionist comprehensive liberalism - distinguishes itself from other liberal views because it grants unique privilege to the ideal of autonomy in personal and political life. Will Kymlicka is one of the most prominent defenders of antiperfectionist comprehensive liberalism and while he appeals to the ideal of autonomy in his liberalism, he is not clear about which theory of autonomy he is appealing to. As a result, his theory of autonomy is sketchy and incomplete. As an autonomy theorist, I think that there is more Kymlicka can say to elaborate on the view of autonomy operating in his theory of liberalism. Kymlicka has not explained whether his view is a procedural, or substantive, or a socio-relational view and these exhaust the kinds of views of autonomy in the literature, so Kymlicka's view must be one of these. It is important for Kymlicka to be clear on the view of autonomy he incorporates because each theory has its own motivating assumptions and standards for what counts as an autonomous choice. In addition, it is important for Kymlicka to be clear about the theory of autonomy in his liberalism, because, in some cases, the standards for autonomy may be inconsistent with his liberal commitments. In this project, I argue that Kymlicka incorporates a socio-relational view of autonomy in his liberalism.
Efforts towards understanding the nickel catalyzed cycloaddition of ciynes and nitriles to make pyridines

description: Efforts towards understanding the nickel catalyzed cycloaddition of diynes and nitriles to make pyridines are described. During the course of this mechanistic study, a previously uncharacterized class of nickel-nitrile-NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) dimers, which display cooperative η1 and η2 binding modes of the nitrile to nickel, were discovered. Crystal structures were obtained for select dimers. These dimers proved catalytically competent in the cycloaddition reaction. Pseudo first order kinetics revealed that the reaction was first order in dimer while being zero order in NHC ligand, nitrile, and diyne. While stoichiometric reactions with dimer and diyne in the absence of nitrile did give product, largely improved yields were observed in the presence of free nitrile. Stoichiometric competition studies utilizing various identities of free nitriles and dimers indicated a preference for incorporation of free nitrile into the product versus the dimer-bound nitrile. The results of this study suggest a mechanism involving partial dimer opening as the rate-determining step. This is then followed by nitrile binding, which precedes oxidative coupling with diyne.

Regulation of Cell Migration and Behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans
Creators: name: Pickett, Christopher Lee
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: Transcription initiation is a key regulatory point of nearly every cell signaling pathway; therefore, understanding the regulation and function or transcription factors is essential for understanding physiological and pathological processes. The Myc and Mondo transcription factors heterodimerize with Max and Mlx, respectively, bind DNA, and activate transcription of many of the same promoters. Antagonizing Myc and Mondo are the Mad proteins which dimerize with either Max or Mlx to repress transcription. The regulation of Mondo subcellular localization is unique among family members as this protein localizes to the outer michondrial membrane. Mondo proteins have clear nuclear functions in regulating the transcription of key glycolytic enzymes, yet the signal(s) that cause Mondo translocation to the nucleus are not yet known. To characterize the genetic interactions of Myc superfamily members and examine the regulation of Mondo subcellular localization, we examined their orthologs in the model genetic and developmental organism, Caenorhabditis elegans. The nematode orthologs of Myc and Mondo, MML-1, and Mlx, MXL-2, heterodimerize and activate transcription similar to their mammalian counterparts. Despite a high degree of sequence conservation in subcellular localization domains, MML-1 is a nuclear protein. MML-1 and MXL-2 play roles in cell migration and behavior. These proteins act in the nonmigrating hypodermis to regulate the transcription of extracellular matrix components which control migration of ray 1 precursor cells. MML-1/MXL-2, in conjunction with Wnt/BAR-1 and semaphorin signaling, regulate the migration of ray 1 precursor cells. Further, we find that MML-1/MXL-2 regulates male attraction to hermaphrodites and antagonizes MDL-1/MXL-1 in regulating hermaphrodite avoidance. These functions of MML-1 and MXL-2 broaden the roles of Myc and Mondo proteins suggesting additional, but currently unappreciated, roles in development and disease for this highly conserved network of transcription factors.

description: Surface shear stress is an important quantity that characterizes the nature of a turbulent boundary layer. The problem of directly measuring the amount of shear stress acting on a surface has been previously studied. This thesis focuses on the design and fabrication of a 127 mm diameter  floating disk plate. The small design affords many advantages including ease of implementation, reduced cost, portability, a higher expected frequency response, and the ability to deploy large arrays of these units to achieve spatial distribution and capture heterogenous effects. The shear stress sensor consists of a circular disk, with three springs attached to a housing each at 120o apart. The disk is  floating on a pool of liquid that provides damping. A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) is placed at the center of the disk and shines onto the surface of a 2-D position sensitive detector (PSD) that measures the (x; y) position of the disk centroid. With the use of several models, that were developed to obtain key parameters, the known disk centroid position is converted to force using the system transfer function. A physical prototype was built using the obtained parameters, and the fabrication and assembly are discussed, along with the static calibration results. These results correlate very well with the mathematical design to within 1.5% of the average value.

description: To demonstrate the feasibility of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for treating biliary metal stent occlusion in an experimental liver model. IRE was performed using an expandable tubular IRE-catheter placed in nitinol stents in the porcine liver. A 3-electrode IRE-catheter was connected to an IRE-generator and one hundred 100μs pulses of constant voltage (300, 650, 1000, and 1300 V) were applied. Stent occlusion was simulated by insertion of liver tissue both ex vivo (n = 94) and in vivo in 3 pigs (n = 14). Three scenarios of the relationship between the stent, electrodes, and inserted tissue (double contact, single contact, and stent mesh contact) were studied. Electric current was measured and resistance and power calculated. Pigs were sacrificed 72 h post-procedure. Harvested samples (14 experimental, 13 controls) underwent histopathological analysis. IRE application was feasible at 300 and 650 V for the single and double contact setup in both ex vivo and in vivo studies. Significant differences in calculated resistance between double contact and single contact settings were observed (ex-vivo p ˂ 0.0001, in-vivo p = 0.02; Mann–Whitney). A mild temperature increase of the surrounding liver parenchyma was noted with increasing voltage (0.9–5.9 °C for 300–1000 V). The extent of necrotic changes in experimental samples in vivo correlated with the measured electric current (r2 = 0.39, p = 0.01). No complications were observed during or after the in-vivo procedure. Endoluminal IRE using an expandable tubular catheter in simulated metal stent occlusion is feasible. The relationship of active catheter electrodes to stent ingrowth tissue can be estimated based on resistance values.

Characteristics of adolescent and adult females with autism spectrum disorders and normal-range intellectual abilities: an exploratory study
Creators: name: Wanzek, Megan Clifford
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014
Subjects: Autism

description: This study compared females and males with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and normal intelligence to explore sex differences in onset and trajectory of ASD symptoms as well as developmental tasks and social functioning. Personality traits were also studied, as was the presence of psychiatric problems. Twenty-one females and 21 males with ASD between the ages of 13 and 35 years of age participated in the study. Although these 42 individuals are the "participants," their parents provided important information about development of symptoms and functioning that the individuals with ASD may not have recalled. Both participants and parents of participants completed comprehensive structured interview and rating scales that evaluated ASD symptoms and social-behavioral functioning. Parents also completed a symptom report form, and participants with ASD completed an IQ test to determine eligibility for the study and a personality test. Results show that parents of female participants noticed ASD symptoms at a later age than parents of males (e.g., sensory symptoms and abnormal social interactions) and reported these to professionals at a later age (i.e., around 7 years for females compared to 3 years, 9 months for males). Professionals, often the child's pediatricians, also showed a tendency to normalize the behaviors of females with ASD more often than males, and did not refer females as often for follow-up evaluations. Despite all of this, no differences were found in the ages at which an ASD diagnosis was made for both sexes, which was on average about 10 years, 9 months. Parents of females reported a more fluctuating symptom presentation than did parents of males, and also reported greater improvement over time. Despite this, female participants reported more distress over social difficulties than males, and this seemed to be consistent over time. Parents of females tended to notice their daughters having more frustration and anger than parents of males, and also observed them to engage more in self-injurious behaviors. Personality testing further showed that the older female participants endorsed more psychological problems than the younger females or the males, including problems with anxiety and depression.
Gene therapy of cancer using an interleukin 2 transmembrane construct

description: Selective expression of cytokines on the surface of tumors is likely to stimulate tumor-infiltration lymphocytes that are primed and already recognize tumor antigens.  This may result in enhanced tumor recognition and killing.  This gene therapy approach may avoid toxicity associated with systemic therapy with high doses of the cytokines needed to achieve the same effects.  In order to test this concept, we have evaluated an IL-2 gene construct that is designed to induce tumor cells to express a membrane bound form of IL-1 (IL-2tm).  A mammalian plasmid expression vector was designed to express a fusion gene consisting of human interleukin 2 with Fc-epsilon-gamma transmembrance anchor derived from a subunit of the FC epsilon receptor.  We demonstrated that mRNA and protein for the IL-2tm fusion protein was expressed in transfected RD995 tumor cells.  Expression of the IL-2tm protein on the tumor cell surface membrane was confirmed by laser confocal microscopy.  In order to assess biological function, RF995 transfected with IL-2tm or pCMV2b (empty expression vector) were implanted subcutaneously into C3H/HEN mice.  Non-transfected RD995 was also implanted subcutaneously for tumor growth comparison (control group).  RD998 tumor cells (10[6] or 10[5]/mouse) transfected with IL-2tm grew more slowly than RD995 transfected with pCMV2b or non-transfected control RD995 implanted tumors after implantation into syngenic animals.  Further preclinical evaluation of the IL-2tm gene therapy as a possible cancer treatment is underway.
Occurrence of peak-experience at delivery: mothers' perceptions

description: The purpose of this study was to describe the range of emotional experiences during childbirth and to identify the variables and events which may influence that experience.  This was a descriptive, preliminary study utilizing elements of the grounded-theory approach.  The sample consisted of 101 primiparous women with uncomplicated childbirth courses who delivered at six Salt Lake area hospitals. A esearcher-developed questionnaire was administered within 24 to 48 hours after delivery.  After preliminary analysis of data, a subsample was selected which was divided into two groups: Those women having a peak-experience at delivery and those women having a below-average emotional experience.     Contrasts were sought between these two groups for all data. The emotional experience of childbirth was not influenced by demographic variables of age, marital  status, religion, occupation, employment, or income.  The occurrence of peak-experience was not significantly influenced by length of labor or type of delivery.  In addition, it did not seem to matter whether the pregnancy was planned or unplanned, where prenatal care was received, or whether childbirth preparation classes were attended.  In this study it was found that the majority of women experienced positive emotions during childbirth which most often emerged during the pushing stage of labor and continued through delivery.  The dimensions of memory of events, awareness of others, sense of control  over the experience, and the desire to play an active role in childbirth were all significantly related to the occurrence of peak-experience at delivery.  The condition of the infant during childbirth  (as evidenced by fetal monitor tracings and Apgar scores) was influential  on the emotional experience.  The partner's presence and support during childbirth tended to be important to the occurrence of peak-experience.  In addition, the data seem to indicate that healthcare professionals' major foci should be ensuring adequate preparation for childbirth, encouraging a woman's sense of control   in childbirth, and helping the partner to support the parturient woman; all  of these factors seem to enhance the emotional  experience of childbirth.
Measuring Intergenerational Justice

Subjects: Generational Accounting; Fiscal Gap; Deficit Delusion

description: Concern with intergenerational justice has long been a focus of economics. This essay considers the effort, over the last three decades, to quantify generational fiscal burdens using label-free fiscal gap and generational accounting. It also points out that government debt -- the conventional metric for assessing generational fiscal justice,– has no grounding in economic theory. Instead, official debt is the result of economically arbitrary government labelling decisions: whether to call receipts “taxes” rather than “borrowing” and whether to call payments “transfer payments” rather than “debt service”. Via their choice of words, governments decide which obligations to put on, and which to keep off, the books. The essay also looks to the future of generational fiscal-justice analysis. Rapid computational advances are permitting economists to understand not just direct government intergenerational redistribution, but also how such policies impact the economy that future generations will inherit.

description: According to a UN report, more than 50% of the total world's population resides in urban areas and this fraction is increasing. Urbanization has a wide range of potential environmental impacts, including those related to the dispersion of potentially dangerous substances emitted from activities such as combustion, industrial processing or from deliberate harmful releases. This research is primarily focused on the investigation of various factors which contribute to the dispersion of certain classes of materials in a complex urban environment and improving both of the fundamental components of a fast response dispersion modeling system - wind modeling and dispersion modeling. Specifically, new empirical parameterizations have been suggested for an existing fast response wind model for street canyon flow fields. These new parameterizations are shown to produce more favorable results when compared with the experimental data. It is also demonstrated that the use of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) technology can enhance the efficiency of an urban Lagrangian dispersion model and can achieve near real-time particle advection. The GPU also enables real-time visualizations which can be used for creating virtual urban environments to aid emergency responders. The dispersion model based on the GPU architecture relies on the so-called "simplified Langevin equations (SLEs)" for particle advection. The full or generalized form of the Langevin equations (GLEs) is known for its stiffness which tends to generate unstable modes in particle trajectory, where a particle may travel significant distances in a small time step.

description: In this paper we apply the method of Generational Accounting to analyse whether today’s government policy burdens future generations with a heavier load than current generations. We analyse pay-as-you-go pension systems and their reforms in Norway, Poland and Germany. Our results show that, through these reforms, pension systems in all three countries became more intergenerationally balanced as the implicit debt to be paid by future generations was reduced. However, the burden is shared differently: in Norway
current pensioners have to contribute to enhancing the financial sustainability of the pension system while Poland and Germany seem to protect current pensioners at the expense of younger generations.

description: Many states are implementing Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) methods to reduce traffic delays due to bridge construction. One such method is the use of precast concrete full-depth panels to construct bridge decks. The grouted transverse joint between precast concrete deck panels is the most vulnerable element of the bridge deck system. To extend the longevity of bridge decks it is imperative to improve the integrity of the grouted transverse joint. The focus of this research is to compare different methods to protect, strengthen, and analyze the capacity of the grouted transverse joint. This is done through four separate papers focusing on: the protection of the joint using different overlay systems; the capacity and behavior of the transverse joint using Fiber Reinforced-Polymers (FRP) composite rods at different posttensioning levels; finite element modeling of the transverse joint under concentrated truck tire loads; and an analytical approach, comparing the applied concentrated truck tire load with the capacity of the joint. Minimal research has been done on the capacity of the joint under concentrated loads, which are the majority of the loads applied to bridge decks. No previous research has been provided using Carbon FRP rods for posttensioning of the transverse bridge deck joint. Several observations, conclusions and recommendations were found with this research. It was found that overlay systems reduce the chloride intrusion for the transverse joint between full depth precast bridge deck panels. Posttensioning across the iv transverse joint provided increased joint shear transfer capacity and will impede deck cracking, and therefore lead to longer useful life of the bridge deck. The use of carbon FRP rods for posttensioning is beneficial in improving the integrity of the joint. Prior to the initial joint cracking the deck behaved monolithically which leads to the simpler design methods for the design and distribution methods of concentrated loads acting on the deck. The proposed effective distribution width of 36 in. was acceptable in the design of the transverse joint precast bridge decks under concentrated loads.

description: The therapeutic capacity of multiple cylindrical interstitial laser ablations (CILAs) of pancreatic tissue was evaluated with 1064 nm laser light in ex vivo and in vivo porcine pancreatic models. A diffusing applicator was sequentially employed to deliver 1064 nm laser light in a cylindrical distribution to ablate a large volume of pancreatic tissue. Ex vivo tissue was tested at various power levels (5, 7, and 10 W) under US imaging. An in vivo porcine model was used to evaluate the clinical feasibility of multiple CILAs on pancreatic tissue at 5 W via laparotomy (N = 3). Multiple CILAs symmetrically ablated a range of ex vivo tissue volumes (2.4–6.0 cm3) at various power levels. Multiple CILAs warranted a therapeutic capacity of symmetrically ablating in vivo pancreatic tissue. Both ex vivo and in vivo pancreatic tissues after multiple CILAs at 5 W confirmed the absence of or minimal thermal injury to the peripheral tissue and carbonization. The current findings suggest that the collective thermal effects from multiple CILAs can help widely ablate pancreatic tissue with minimal thermal injury. Further in vivo studies will investigate the safety of the proposed CILA treatment as well as acute/chronic responses of pancreatic tissue for clinical translations.

description: The aim of this paper is to facilitate informed choice about indicators of economic sustainability and intergenerational fairness and decisions about their uses. We focus on four issues. First, we found that the same type of indicator measured at different levels – such as the general government, the (market) economy or the total economy, which includes both the market economy and the household economy – often leads to different conclusions. Second, sustainability analysis is frequently built on exogenously set age limits even though it is obvious that old age does not everywhere start at age 65; it did not always start there where it does today; and most likely it will not start there in the future. Third, we use our taxonomy of more than 80 indicators to spot holes, shortcomings and absences. Fourth, we show some structural differences between indicators of sustainability and fairness.

Regulation of Neuropeptide Y-Containing Neurons in the Basal Ganglia and Limbic System of the Rat

description: Single or multiple administrations of the psychotomimetic drug, phencyclidine-HCl (PCP), decreased striatal, cortical and accumbens, but not nigral, neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity (NPYLI) levels at some time point(s) after administration. The effect of the noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist, MK-801, on striatal, cortical and accumbens NPYLI content was similar to PCP, suggesting that extrapyramidal and limbic NPY systems are modulated by glutamatergic activity through NMDA receptor mechanisms. Administration of the GABA-T inhibitors, amino-oxyacetic acid (AOAA) or gamma-vinyl-GABA (GVG) alone had no effect on striatal or cortical NPYLI levels; however, AOAA administration alone decreased accumbens NPYLI levels. Administration of AOAA or GVG prior to or concurrently with PCP treatment completely blocked PCP-induced changes in striatal and cortical NPYLI levels while accumbens NPYLI changes were attenuated. These data suggest that striatal, cortical and accumbens NPY systems are modulated by glutamatergic activity and that the interaction between these two transmitter systems is mediated, at least in part, by GABAergic mechanisms. The role of dopamine (DA) and several other transmitter or receptor systems in PCP-induced extrapyramidal and limbic NPYLI changes was also evaluated. Neither the dopamine D-1 receptor, SCH 23390, nor the dopamine D-2 antagonist, sulpiride, by themselves altered cortical NPY systems but in combination they totally blocked the PCP-induced changes. In contrast, sulpiride alone significantly reduced striatal and accumbens NPYLI content and enhanced the PCP-induced decreases, while SCH 23390 alone had no effect on striatal and accumbens NPYLI levels but did attenuate PCP-induced effects. These data suggest that basal ganglia and limbic NPY systems are differentially modulated by NMDA and dopaminergic activity. Examination of the effects of multiple administrations of selective D-1 and D-2 agonists and antagonists on striatal, nigral, accumbens, pallidal and cortical NPY systems indicated that within structures such as the caudate and nucleus accumbens there exists multiple distinct NPY systems which are uniquely influenced by DA receptors. Initial studies suggest that both GABA-A and -B receptors are involved in mediating the PCP-induced NPYLI changes, and that PCP causes both release of NPY from nerve terminals and increased peptide biosynthesis.

description: This research study was undertaken to determine if having a parent present would make a difference in  physiological and emotional measures in two groups of children hospitalized for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.  The Experimental Group of eighteen children had a parent present to spend the pre-operative night and the post-operative night in cases where children stayed two nights.  The Control Group of nineteen children had a parent present on admission, during the afternoon and on the morning of surgery:  these parents did not spend the night in the hospital with their children.  The following measures of physical and emotional stress were made during the course of hospitalization and at a home visit a week later:  pulse, respiration and blood pressure reading on admission, the morning of surgery, in the recovery room and back in their own rooms, as well as at the beginning and end of a home visit.  Apprehension on the morning of surgery was assessed by asking the parent to evaluate his child's emotional state; the amount of crying at two specific periods in the hospital was measure and compared between groups.  A questionnaire was given parents at the home visit asking them to evaluate emotional distress in their children, associated with the past hospital experience.  Analysis of data showed a significantly lower pulse at the .05 level on the morning of surgery in the Control Group who did not have a parent present.  This finding was contrary to what was expected.  Variability in scores on four measures, admission pulse, difference between first and second home visit blood pressures, sleep patterns the preoperative night, and reaction to "shots" after surgery, were significantly greater at the .05 level in the Experimental Group, suggesting the extreme of influence of parents.
Social Innovation: tracing the development of solutions for bottom of pyramid
Creators: name: Barros, Lidyane Stephane da Silva
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The research investigates how social innovations (SI) are developed. The research on innovation has focused on the development of products and services with a market focus in order to achieve competitiveness and profitability. Also, the traditional models of innovation represent long and costly projects by research and development departments, neglecting other innovation types. SI as a process remains insufficiently explored even in social entrepreneurship studies, which typically focus on isolated stages (e.g. ideation or scaling). Therefore, the research aims to uncover the whole SI process from ideation to adoption. SI is defined as the development and implementation of new ideas (products, services, processes, methods), with the primary purpose of improving the quality of life of the people at the bottom of the pyramid, and with the condition that financial goals must be directed to sustain the initiative and spread the solution. Since SIs are primarily socially motivated, they should be distinguished from traditional innovations, although how they develop is unknown. In order to uncover that, process tracing techniques are used to determine the causal relationship between events based on evidence raised in multiple cases using sources including reports, audio-visual documents, websites, and interviews with founders and managers related to the innovations. After tracing the events, the process of social innovation is uncovered in four phases: (1) personal experience; (2) emergencial solution building; (3) spreading, which includes refining the solution and legitimating it; and (4) value complementation. Tracking events and the steps for SI contributes to knowledge building serving as a reference for organizations and innovators to develop new ideas. Besides, the study aggregates the literature related to social entrepreneurship and innovation management, as it examines integratively the process of a type of innovation aimed firstly at social objectives. The research also proposes an SI definition to be used in future research.

Mining frequent order sets

Intermount Health Care

description: Order sets, when used in conjunction with a Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) system, has been recognized as effective methods for improving the efficiency and accuracy of the ordering process, leading to improved quality of care.  However, lack of specificity in order sets has been recognized as a common problem, decreasing the efficiency of the ordering process, or even cause the failure to acceptance of a CPOE system.  Patient-specific, disease-specific, or diagnosis-specific order sets have been recommended in CPOE systems.  In this project we explored a methodology of discovering order sets from an existing orders database.  The goal was to establish a framework to apply data mining technologies, build order sets and use them to critique existing physician-made order sets.  We stated that an order set is a super set of many maximal frequent itemsets discovered from the orders database.  We adopted the Maximal Frequent Itemset Algorithm (MAFIA) to discover maximal frequent itemsets.  Fourteen mining-discovered order sets were created by postprocessing these maximal frequent itemsets.  We employed the error rate metrics from the Fifth Message Understanding Conference (MUC-5) to critique the specificity of physician-made order sets.  In addition, we use undergeneration, overgeneration, precision, and recall from MUC-5 to analyze the source of the discrepancies.  The average error rate was 75.9% with a standard deviation of 0.03 among all 14 pairs of order sets.  It meant that the physician-made order sets were discovered with a 75% difference when compared to the mining-discovered order sets.  The differences were categorized in spurious and missing orders.  The spurious orders were the orders that appeared in the physician-made order sets, but not appear in the mining-discovered order sets.  The missing orders were the orders that were found in the mining-discovered order sets, but not in the physician-made order sets.  By manually reviewing these differences, proper actions could be take to increase  the number of disease-specific orders in the physician-made order sets, so that the specificity could be improved.  Besides critiquing the specificity of existing order sets, this approach can be used to propose preliminary order sets instead of creating them from scratch, generate order sets for different time ranges, or monitor ordering pattern changes.

description: The therapeutic capacity of multiple cylindrical interstitial laser ablations (CILAs) of pancreatic tissue was evaluated with 1064 nm laser light in ex vivo and in vivo porcine pancreatic models. A diffusing applicator was sequentially employed to deliver 1064 nm laser light in a cylindrical distribution to ablate a large volume of pancreatic tissue. Ex vivo tissue was tested at various power levels (5, 7, and 10 W) under US imaging. An in vivo porcine model was used to evaluate the clinical feasibility of multiple CILAs on pancreatic tissue at 5 W via laparotomy (N = 3). Multiple CILAs symmetrically ablated a range of ex vivo tissue volumes (2.4–6.0 cm3) at various power levels. Multiple CILAs warranted a therapeutic capacity of symmetrically ablating in vivo pancreatic tissue. Both ex vivo and in vivo pancreatic tissues after multiple CILAs at 5 W confirmed the absence of or minimal thermal injury to the peripheral tissue and carbonization. The current findings suggest that the collective thermal effects from multiple CILAs can help widely ablate pancreatic tissue with minimal thermal injury. Further in vivo studies will investigate the safety of the proposed CILA treatment as well as acute/chronic responses of pancreatic tissue for clinical translations.
