description: We consider the unique continuation properties of asymptotically Anti-de Sitter spacetimes by studying Klein-Gordon-type equations $\Box_g ϕ+ σϕ= \mathcal{G} ( ϕ, \partial ϕ)$, $σ\in \mathbb{R}$, on a large class of such spacetimes. Our main result establishes that if $ϕ$ vanishes to sufficiently high order (depending on $σ$) on a sufficiently long time interval along the conformal boundary $\mathcal{I}$, then the solution necessarily vanishes in a neighborhood of $\mathcal{I}$. In particular, in the $σ$-range where Dirichlet and Neumann conditions are possible on $\mathcal{I}$ for the forward problem, we prove uniqueness if both these conditions are imposed. The length of the time interval can be related to the refocusing time of null geodesics on these backgrounds and is expected to be sharp. Some global applications as well a uniqueness result for gravitational perturbations are also discussed. The proof is based on novel Carleman estimates established in this setting.

description: Background: Health coaching is increasingly important in patient-centered medical homes. Objectives: Describe formative evaluation results and lessons learned from implementing health coaching to improve hypertension self-management in rural primary care. Methods: A hypertension collaborative was formed consisting of six primary care sites. Twelve monthly health coaching phone calls were attempted for 487 participants with hypertension. Lessons Learned: Participant engagement was challenging; 58% remained engaged, missing fewer than three consecutive calls. Multivariate analyses revealed that older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01–1.05), African American race (O,R 1.73; 95% CI, 1.15–2.60), greater number of comorbidities (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.05–1.30) and receiving coaching closer to enrollment (OR, 5.03; 95% CI, 2.53–9.99) were correlated independently with engagement. Participants reported the coaching valuable; 96% would recommend health coaching to others. Conclusions: Health coaching in hypertension care can be successful strategy for engaging more vulnerable groups. A more tailored approach may improve engagement with counseling.

description: The project explores the integration of computer-aided design (CAD) in the development of advanced transmission architectures for visual and auditory information. This project aims to enhance the delivery of digital data across multi-layered channels, seamlessly combining audio, image, and video content for end users. By leveraging a structured telecommunication node protocol, the system ensures uninterrupted, high-quality data transmission from producers to consumers. The project focuses on experimental approaches to radio and television broadcasting, emphasizing synchronization and asynchrony of digital data through waveguides and radio frequency radiation. It also investigates the role of electrical infrastructure and standardized architectural frameworks in optimizing broadcasting performance. The study examines how various engineering units—transmitter, electrical and AC-vent unit, ICT, mechanism, and media production—collaborate to maintain effective communication and control within the broadcasting environment. Key to this initiative is the recognition of training as a vital component in enhancing workforce expertise. The project underscores the importance of a unified scheme that equips information technology professionals with the skills necessary to excel in real-world scenarios. By fostering a collaborative approach among different engineering departments, the project aims to improve data transmission efficiency and elevate the overall quality of broadcast services.

description: We have developed our original made-to-measure (M2M) algorithm, PRIMAL, with the aim of modelling the Galactic disc from upcoming Gaia data. From a Milky Way like N-body disc galaxy simulation, we have created mock Gaia data using M0III stars as tracers, taking into account extinction and the expected Gaia errors. In PRIMAL, observables calculated from the N-body model are compared with the target stars, at the position of the target stars. Using PRIMAL, the masses of the N-body model particles are changed to reproduce the target mock data, and the gravitational potential is automatically adjusted by the changing mass of the model particles. We have also adopted a new resampling scheme for the model particles to keep the mass resolution of the N-body model relatively constant. We have applied PRIMAL to this mock Gaia data and we show that PRIMAL can recover the structure and kinematics of a Milky Way like barred spiral disc, along with the apparent bar structure and pattern speed of the bar despite the galactic extinction and the observational errors.

description: Purpose: Little is known about how perceived social standing versus traditional socioeconomic characteristics influence medication adherence and blood pressure (BP) among African American and white patients with hypertension in the rural southeastern United States. Methods: Perceived social standing, socioeconomic characteristics, self-reported antihypertensive medication adherence, and BP were measured at baseline in a cohort of rural African American and white patients (n = 495) with uncontrolled hypertension attending primary care practices. Multivariate models examined the relationship of perceived social standing and socioeconomic indicators with medication adherence and systolic BP. Findings: Medication nonadherence was reported by 40% of patients. Younger age [β = 0.20; P = .001], African American race [β = -0.30; P = .03], and lower perceived social standing [β = 0.08; P = .002] but not sex or traditional socioeconomic characteristics including education and household income, were significantly associated with lower medication adherence. Race-specific analyses revealed that this pattern was limited to African Americans and not observed in whites. In stepwise modeling, older age [β = 0.57, P = .001], African American race [β = 4.4; P = .03], and lower medication adherence [β = -1.7, P = .01] but not gender, education, or household income, were significantly associated with higher systolic BP. Conclusions: Lower perceived social standing and age, but not traditional socioeconomic characteristics, were significantly associated with lower medication adherence in African Americans. Lower medication adherence was associated with higher systolic BP. These findings suggest the need for tailored, culturally relevant medication adherence interventions in rural communities.

description: Sometimes it seems that despite our best efforts to educate patients and families, we miss the mark. During internship, one of us (D.A.D.) sat down with the mom of a 2-year-old child to discuss the child's condition and plan for care. After spending time “clearly” explaining things to her, the mom looked up with a bewildered yet calm look and said, “I have no idea what you just said.” This mom was lost. Thankfully, she had the courage to speak up. Often, we assume that we speak and write clearly and that our communication is effective

description: The Southeastern United States has the highest prevalence of hypertension and African Americans have disproportionately worse blood pressure control. The authors sought to evaluate the effect of a multicomponent practice-based quality improvement intervention on lowering mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) at 12 and 24 months compared with baseline among 525 patients, and to assess for a differential effect of the intervention by race (African Americans vs white). At 12 months, both African Americans (−5.0 mm Hg) and whites (−7.8 mm Hg) had a significant decrease in mean SBP compared with baseline, with no significant between-group difference. Similarly, at 24 months, mean SBP decreased in both African Americans (−6.0 mm Hg) and whites (−7.2 mm Hg), with no significant difference between groups. Notably, no significant racial disparity in mean SBP at baseline was shown. The intervention was effective in lowering mean SBP in both African Americans and whites but there was no differential effect of the intervention by race.

description: Current efforts to fight the Covid-19 pandemic aim to slow viral spread and increase testing, protect health care workers from infection, and obtain ventilators and other equipment to prepare for a surge of critically ill patients. But additional actions are needed to rapidly increase health workforce capacity and to replenish it when personnel are quarantined or need time off to rest or care for sick family members. It seems clear that health care delivery organizations, educators, and government leaders will all have to be willing to cut through bureaucratic barriers and adapt regulations to rapidly expand the U.S. health care workforce and sustain it for the duration of the pandemic.

description: Ongoing payment reforms are pressing health systems to reorganize delivery of care to achieve greater value, improve access, integrate patient care among settings, advance population health, and address social determinants of health. Many organizations are experimenting with new ways of unleashing their workforce’s potential by using telehealth and various forms of digital technology and developing team- and community-based delivery models. Such approaches require reconfiguring of provider roles, but states and health care organizations often place restrictions on health professionals’ scope of practice that limit their flexibility

description: Evidence is mixed on the effect of value-based payment models on access, quality, and care. One reason may be that while a great deal of attention has been paid to redesigning care delivery and payment models, less focus has centered on redesigning the workforce to deliver team-based care in new models of care. Bodenheimer suggests that the survival of primary care hinges on creating teams that share the care with well-trained and empowered health professionals who can take on functions that do not require a physician. Such structural changes to primary care require retraining physicians and other providers to more effectively function in teams, remapping workflows, and redesigning care to allow for more collaboration between physicians and other health care professionals. Despite the growing body of research on the evolving roles of medical assistants, nurses (RNs), social workers, pharmacists, nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician assistants (PAs), we lack a good understanding of different team configurations in primary care practices.

description: During shocks, residents and businesses rely upon the government to ensure health, safety, and the continuity of services. The government’s ability to respond depends upon how well it utilizes its data resources and builds digital resilience. Yet, governments often fail to integrate agency data to respond effectively to shocks. We conceptualize digital resilience as a dynamic capability (DC). Although the DC framework provides a theoretical basis, it is unclear what actions managers take to build DC. Through process tracing, we examine how the Commonwealth of Virginia (COVA) built DCs and rebounded from two shocks – the opioid crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. COVA managers leveraged statewide data assets, built routines to disseminate data, and then reconfigured operational capabilities to build three DCs – relationship building, intelligence creation, and value extraction. Data were the protein that built the digital resilience muscle. We find that the relationship building DC leveraged operational capabilities of data management, integration, and governance structure to foster data sharing. Intelligence creation DC built upon analytics, and the value extraction DC converted analytics into cost savings, revenue-generation, and new services. We find that COVA built robust digital resilience by facilitating data sharing while the agencies exploited data assets to develop scalable solutions.

description: Purpose: To examine trends in the psychologist workforce and training opportunities, including factors that may influence the decision of clinical psychologists to practice in rural settings. Methods: We use a mixed-methods approach to examine the psychologist workforce nationally and in North Carolina (NC), including (1) an analysis of the location of programs awarding doctoral degrees; (2) an analysis of the practice, demographic, and educational characteristics of the psychologist workforce; and (3) interviews with directors of doctoral programs in clinical psychology to understand where current graduates are getting jobs and why they may or may not be choosing to practice in rural communities. Findings: Fewer than 1% of programs and institutions awarding doctoral degrees in psychology in the United States are located in rural areas. In NC, approximately 80% of practicing psychologists have out-of-state degrees and about 80% of recent NC graduates are not currently licensed in the state. This juxtaposition undermines the utility of adding more in-state degree programs. While expansion of training programs within rural areas could help alleviate the shortages of mental health providers, adding new degree-granting programs alone will not necessarily increase supply. We discuss complementary recruitment and retention strategies, including greater incentives for rural training and practice as well as training in emerging technologies that don't require providers to be physically located in underserved areas, such as telemedicine. Conclusions: Increasing the supply of psychologists practicing in rural areas will require a thoughtful, multipronged approach to training this critical part of the behavioral health workforce.

description: The periodically kicked quantum rotor is known for non-classical effects such as quantum localisation in angular momentum space or quantum resonances in rotational excitation. These phenomena have been studied in diverse systems mimicking the kicked rotor, such as cold atoms in optical lattices, or coupled photonic structures. Recently, it was predicted that several solid state quantum localisation phenomena - Anderson localisation, Bloch oscillations, and Tamm-Shockley surface states - may manifest themselves in the rotational dynamics of laser-kicked molecules. Here, we report the first observation of rotational Bloch oscillations in a gas of nitrogen molecules kicked by a periodic train of femtosecond laser pulses. A controllable detuning from the quantum resonance creates an effective accelerating potential in angular momentum space, inducing Bloch-like oscillations of the rotational excitation. These oscillations are measured via the temporal modulation of the refractive index of the gas. Our results introduce room-temperature laser-kicked molecules as a new laboratory for studies of localisation phenomena in quantum transport.

description: We study the dynamical evolution of Chern-band systems after subjecting them to local quenches. For open-boundary systems, we show for half-filling that the chiral nature of edge states is manifested in the time-dependent chiral response to local density quenches on the edge. In the presence of power-law traps, we show how to mimic the half-filling situation by choosing the appropriate number of fermions depending on the trap size, and explore chiral responses of edges to local quenches in such a configuration. We find that perturbations resulting from the quenches propagate at different group velocities depending on the bulk band gap. Our results provide different routes to check dynamically the non-trivial nature of Chern bands.

description: Objective: To identify predictors of therapist use (any use, continuity of care, timing of care) in the acute care hospital and community (home or outpatient) for patients discharged home after stroke. Design: Retrospective cohort analysis of Medicare claims (2010–2013) linked to hospital-level and county-level data. Setting: Acute care hospital and community. Participants: Patients (N=23,413) who survived the first 30 days at home after being discharged from an acute care hospital after stroke. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Physical and occupational therapist use in acute care and community settings; continuity of care across the inpatient and home or the inpatient and outpatient settings; and early therapist use in the home or outpatient setting. Multivariate logistic and multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify hospital-level, county-level, and sociodemographic characteristics associated with therapist use, continuity, and timing, controlling for clinical characteristics. Results: Seventy-eight percent of patients received therapy in the acute care hospital, but only 40.8% received care in the first 30 days after discharge. Hospital nurse staffing was positively associated with inpatient and outpatient therapist use and continuity of care across settings. Primary care provider supply was associated with inpatient and outpatient therapist use, continuity of care, and early therapist care in the home and outpatient setting. Therapist supply was associated with continuity of care and early therapist use in the community. There was consistent evidence of sociodemographic disparities in therapist use. Conclusions: Therapist use after stroke varies in the community and for specific sociodemographic subgroups and may be underused. Inpatient nurse staffing levels and primary care provider supply were the most consistent predictors of therapist use, continuity of care, and early therapist use.

 Features: Diameter 40–70 μm.
 Description: Valves circular with flat to slightly convex and hyaline center. Valve face with a ring of short and radiate markings.
 Remarks: The genus Paralia includes several species which are difficult to separate without observations with electron microscopes (Crawford 1979), this is mainly due to different valve types of the species. Observations with SEM revealed several taxa previously described as P. sulcata (Macgillivary & Kaczmarska 2013).

description: We estimated the scale-length of the thin disc with the J and W1 magnitudes of the most probable Red Clump (RC) stars in the Galactic plane, $-0\overset{^\circ}.5 \leq b \leq +0\overset{^\circ}.5$, in 19 equal sized fields with consecutive Galactic longitudes which cover the interval $90^\circ \leq l \leq 270^\circ$. Our results are constrained with respect to the solar space density ($D^*=5.95$), which indicates that the radial variation of the density is lower for higher Galactocentric distances. The scale-length of the thin disc is 2 kpc for the fields in the Galactic anticentre direction or close to this direction, while it decreases continuously in the second and third quadrants reaching to a lower limit of $h$ = 1.6 kpc at the Galactic longitudes $l$ = 90$^\circ$ and $l$ = 270$^\circ$. The distribution of the scale-length in 19 fields is consistent with the predictions from the Galaxia model and its variation with longitude is probably due to the inhomogeneity structure of the disc caused by the accreted material or other features such as warp and flare.

description: Objectives To determine whether receipt of therapy and number and timing of therapy visits decreased hospital readmission risk in stroke survivors discharged home. Design Retrospective cohort analysis of Medicare claims (2010–2013). Setting Acute care hospital and community. Participants Patients hospitalized for stroke who were discharged home and survived the first 30 days (N=23,413; mean age ± SD, 77.6±7.5y). Interventions Physical and occupational therapist use in the home and/or outpatient setting in the first 30 days after discharge (any use, number of visits, and days to first visit). Main Outcome Measures Hospital readmission 30 to 60 days after discharge. Covariates included demographic characteristics, proxy variables for functional status, hospitalization characteristics, comorbidities, and prior health care use. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the relation between therapist use and readmission. Results During the first 30 days after discharge, 31% of patients saw a therapist in the home, 11% saw a therapist in an outpatient setting, and 59% did not see a therapist. Relative to patients who had no therapist contact, those who saw an outpatient therapist were less likely to be readmitted to the hospital (odds ratio, 0.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.59–0.90). Although the point estimates did not reach statistical significance, there was some suggestion that the greater the number of therapist visits in the home and the sooner the visits started, the lower the risk of hospital readmission. Conclusions After controlling for observable demographic-, clinical-, and health-related differences, we found that individuals who received outpatient therapy in the first 30 days after discharge home after stroke were less likely to be readmitted to the hospital in the subsequent 30 days, relative to those who received no therapy.

description: Background: Previous studies reported that primary care nurse practitioners working in primary care settings may earn less than those working in specialty care settings. However, few studies have examined why such wage difference exists. Purpose: This study used human capital theory to determine the degree to which the wage differences between dings PCNPs working in primary care versus specialty care settings is driven by the differences in PCNPs’ characteristics. Feasible generalized least squares regression was used to examine the wage differences for PCNPs working in primary care and specialty care settings. Methods: A cross-sectional, secondary data analysis was conducted using the restricted file of 2012 National Sample Survey of Nurse Practitioners. Findings: Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition technique was used to explore the factors contributing to wage differences. The results suggested that hourly wages of PCNPs working in primary care settings were, on average, 7.1% lower than PCNPs working in specialty care settings, holding PCNPs’ socio-demographic, human capital, and employment characteristics constant. Approximately 4% of this wage difference was explained by PCNPs’ characteristics; but 96% of these differences were due to unexplained factors. Discussion: A large, unexplained wage difference exists between PCNPs working in primary care and specialty care settings.

description: Introduction: Social workers are increasingly being deployed in integrated medical and behavioral healthcare settings but information about the roles they fill in these settings is not well understood. This study sought to identify the functions that social workers perform in integrated settings and identify where they acquired the necessary skills to perform them. Methods: Master of social work students (n=21) and their field supervisors (n=21) who were part of a Health Resources and Services Administration–funded program to train and expand the behavioral health workforce in integrated settings were asked how often they engaged in 28 functions, where they learned to perform those functions, and the degree to which their roles overlapped with others on the healthcare team. Results: The most frequent functions included employing cultural competency, documenting in the electronic health record, addressing patient social determinants of health, and participating in team-based care. Respondents were least likely to engage in case conferences; use Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment; use stepped care to determine necessary level of treatment; conduct functional assessments of daily living skills; use behavioral activation; and use problem-solving therapy. A total of 80% of respondents reported that their roles occasionally, often, very often, or always overlapped with others on the healthcare team. Students reported learning the majority of skills (76%) in their Master of Social Work programs. Supervisors attributed the majority (65%) of their skill development to on-the-job training. Conclusions: Study findings suggest the need to redesign education, regulatory, and payment to better support the deployment of social workers in integrated care settings.

Fused Analytical and Iterative Reconstruction (AIR) via modified proximal forward-backward splitting: a FDK-based iterative image reconstruction example for CBCT
Creators: name: Gao, Hao

Subjects: subject: Medical Physics (physics.med-ph)

description: This work is to develop a general framework, namely analytical iterative reconstruction (AIR) method, to incorporate analytical reconstruction (AR) method into iterative reconstruction (IR) method, for enhanced CT image quality and reconstruction efficiency. Specifically, AIR is established based on the modified proximal forward-backward splitting (PFBS) algorithm, and its connection to the filtered data fidelity with sparsity regularization is discussed. As a result, AIR decouples data fidelity and image regularization with a two-step iterative scheme, during which an AR-projection step updates the filtered data fidelity term, while a denoising solver updates the sparsity regularization term. During the AR-projection step, the image is projected to the data domain to form the data residual, and then reconstructed by certain AR to a residual image which is then weighted together with previous image iterate to form next image iterate. Intuitively since the eigenvalues of AR-projection operator are close to the unity, PFBS based AIR has a fast convergence. Such an advantage is rigorously established through convergence analysis and numerical computation of convergence rate. The proposed AIR method is validated in the setting of circular cone-beam CT with AR being FDK and total-variation sparsity regularization, and has improved image quality from both AR and IR. For example, AIR has improved visual assessment and quantitative measurement in terms of both contrast and resolution, and reduced axial and half-fan artifacts.

title: Radioisotopic techniques in the study of anaemia

Subjects: subject: Veterinary science, animal diseases.

description: The thesis consists of six reviews and a dissertation on the research project. In Chapter I various aspects of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of haemonchosis are reviewed. The disease is highly seasonal being more prevalent during the warm humid months, although chronic infections can occur almost all the year round. The parasites suck blood causing haemorrhage into the host's abomasum and the pathogenesis of the disease depends on this blood loss. Factors such as age, breed, haemoglobin type and nutritional status of the host influence the pathogenesis of the disease. The pathogenesis of bovine trypanosomiasis which depends on factors such as anaemia, pathological lesions and immunodepression is described in Chapter II. Although the anaemia is classified as haemolytic, the precise mechanism appears multi-factorial. In Chapter III the use of radiochromium (51Cr) and radioiron (59Fe) in studying the mechanism of anaemias of parasitic infections is examined. Red cells labelled with Cr provide information regarding the contribution made by haemodilution and increased erythrocyte breakdown while 59Fe may be used to monitor the animals' capacity to synthesise red cells. In the study of albumin metabolism in parasitised animals, radioiodine (125I pr 131I) is often employed (Chapter IV). 125I pr 131I-labelled polyvinylpyttolidone (PVP) or 51Cr (as 51crcl3) are the isotopes of choice in providing information regarding the aetiology of gastrointestinal albumin losses in parasitic infections. In Chapter V most parasitic infections are shown to upset the nutritional status of the host through depression of food intake, disturbances of post-absorptive N and energy metabolism and poor feed conversion efficiency. Adequately fed hosts develop immunity earlier which also persists longer than their poorly fed counterparts. In Chapter VI the limited value of conventional methods of control of haemonchosis and trypanosomiasis is highlighted. Similarly, the limited success of vaccination trials is also discussed. In Chapter VII the results of a project carried out to determine the effects of different levels of protein intake on the pathophysiology of acute haemonchosis and on the self-cure phenomenon are presented. Animals on the high protein diet performed better than their poorly fed counterparts as judged by a variety of parasitological, haematological and radioisotopic criteria. The better performance of this group was concluded to reflect a better immune response against the parasite. The nature of this immune response was not determined but was thought to act either against parasite establishment or through suppression of egg laying capability of the female worms. A slight fall in total egg production was observed following reinfection. However pathophysiological changes following reinfection were as severe as recorded following primary infection with the low protein group being more severely affected.
