Patient and Provider Perceptions of the Preventability of Hospital Readmissions
Creators: name: Stein, Jacob
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Readmissions are a costly, burdensome and potentially preventable occurrence in the health care system. In the renewed national focus on the cost and quality of health care, readmissions have been a major target for improvement. However, the viewpoints of patients and health care providers have frequently been omitted from these discussions. This paper begins with a literature review of the existing research evaluating the perceptions of patients and health care providers on the root causes behind readmissions, as well as how preventable they actually are. The review includes six studies, with three rated as good quality, one as fair, and two as poor quality. The evidence suggests that both patients and providers see medical problems and medications as contributors to readmissions. There is weaker evidence to support that patients and providers find other factors important in readmissions, but those include nonadherence, knowledge deficit, communication difficulties, mental health concerns and insufficient professional help. We then conducted a cross sectional study consisting of provider chart reviews (n=213) and patient interviews (n=23) on all readmissions to the UNC Hospitalist Service over a six month span. We compared the percentage of providers versus patients who felt the readmission was preventable, and explored the factors to which each group attributed the readmission. Providers stated that 29.5% of the readmissions were preventable, compared to only 13.0% of patients. Key contributing factors differed for providers and patients. Providers cited medical problems in 45% of readmissions, pain (24%), follow-up problems (22%), substance abuse (20%) and nonadherence (17%). Patients felt nothing could be done in 35% of readmissions, but also cited medical problems (35%), incomplete diagnosis or treatment (22%), medication issues (17%), and system concerns (13%) as contributors to readmissions. These data suggest that patients and providers view the issue of readmissions differently, and highlight potential areas for improvement.

description: In the article, the deformation of special relativity within the frame of conformable derivative is formulated. Within this context, the two postulates of the theory were re-stated. And, the addition of velocity laws were derived and used to verify the constancy of the speed of light. The invariance principle of the laws of physics is demonstrated for some typical illustrative examples, namely, the conformable wave equation, the conformable Schrodinger equation, and the conformable Gordon-Klein equation. The current formalism may be applicable when using special relativity in a nonlinear or dispersive medium.

description: The actin and microtubule cytoskeletons are vital structures for cell growth and development across all species. While individual molecular mechanisms underpinning actin and microtubule dynamics have been intensively studied, principles that govern the cytoskeleton organization remain largely unexplored. Here, we captured biologically relevant characteristics of the plant cytoskeleton through a network-driven imaging-based approach allowing to quantitatively assess dynamic features of the cytoskeleton. By introducing suitable null models, we demonstrate that the plant cytoskeletal networks exhibit properties required for efficient transport, namely, short average path lengths and high robustness. We further show that these advantageous features are maintained during temporal cytoskeletal re-arrangements. Interestingly, man-made transportation networks exhibit similar properties, suggesting general laws of network organization supporting diverse transport processes. The proposed network-driven analysis can be readily used to identify organizational principles of cytoskeletons in other organisms.

description: WP5 (Data integration and management) is tasked with designing and implementing evolution of the cloud platform and tools for the iAOS. This document gives a synthesis of the iAOS cloud infrastructure evolution during the project. The experience and challenges from the work include: (1) deploying and operating dedicated Cloud Platform infrastructure services, (2) integrating data repositories and data processing services based on these Cloud Platform infrastructure services, and (3) defining user-oriented applications powered by all these iAOS resources. As a result, the iAOS cloud platform offers services to access observations and derived parameters, including new observations from WP2-3-4. In addition, it offers seamless integration with geo-statistical methods for interpolation of spatiotemporal datasets, and services to store the generated datasets in iAOS enabled repositories. The report presents results on using the iAOS cloud platform to integrate multidisciplinary and distributed data repositories and to provide a set of tools for data analysis, transformation, and visualization. Selected applications established in WP6 have used the services and tools provided by the platform and have showcased the usefulness and functionality of the platform, as part of the benefit of enhanced integration of data from Arctic observing systems.

description: Large numbers of $τ$ leptons are produced at Belle II. These could potentially decay into sterile neutrinos that, for the mass range under consideration, are typically long-lived, leading to displaced-vertex signatures. Here, we study a displaced-vertex search sterile-neutrino-extended Standard Model Effective Field Theory. The production and decay of the sterile neutrinos can be realized via either the standard active-sterile neutrino mixing or higher-dimensional operators in the effective Lagrangian. We perform Monte-Carlo simulations to estimate the Belle II sensitivities to such interactions. We find that Belle II can probe non-renormalizable dimension-six operators involving a single sterile neutrino up to a few TeV in the new-physics scale.

description: Theatre4Change (T4C) is an organization that implements interactive theatre workshops in the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) focused on teaching life skills in categories of conflict resolution, bullying, and substance abuse. Currently in its fourth year, T4C recognized a need to develop a more formal program plan and evaluation process to assess their effectiveness. To start, program plan and evaluation needs were prioritized, and workshop goals and new evaluation surveys were designed, developed, and implemented. During the implementation of the program and evaluation plans, revisions were made as needed to improve the effectiveness of the program plan and evaluation. The need for additional specific evaluation instruments such as teacher and counselor reports is discussed, as well as the need for greater parental involvement. Because T4C is currently undergoing organizational change, leadership recommendations are made.

description: The discrete logarithm problem (DLP) is the basis for several cryptographic primitives. Since Shor's work, it has been known that the DLP can be solved by combining a polynomial-size quantum circuit and a polynomial-time classical post-processing algorithm. Evaluating and predicting the instance size that quantum devices can solve is an emerging research topic. In this paper, we propose a quantitative measure based on the success probability of the post-processing algorithm to determine whether an experiment on a quantum device (or a classical simulator) succeeded. We also propose a procedure to modify bit strings observed from a Shor circuit to increase the success probability of a lattice-based post-processing algorithm. We report preliminary experiments conducted on IBM-Quantum quantum computers and near-future predictions based on noisy-device simulations. We conducted our experiments with the ibm_kawasaki device and discovered that the simplest circuit (7 qubits) from a 2-bit DLP instance achieves a sufficiently high success probability to proclaim the experiment successful. Experiments on another circuit from a slightly harder 2-bit DLP instance, on the other hand, did not succeed, and we determined that reducing the noise level by half is required to achieve a successful experiment. Finally, we give a near-term prediction based on required noise levels to solve some selected small DLP and integer factoring instances.

description: Sedation is common practice in endoscopic procedures to suppress a patient’s level of consciousness while maintaining the cardio-respiratory function. Midazolam and propofol are the sedatives most frequently used for procedural sedation at hospitals in Scandinavia. Remimazolam is a new ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine sedative and the present analysis aimed at estimating the economic benefits of introducing remimazolam for procedural sedation in colonoscopies and bronchoscopies in hospitals in Scandinavia. We developed a cost model applying a micro-costing approach that comprised the cost components that are affected by differences in the efficacy of remimazolam, midazolam, and propofol, and the model estimated the cost per successful colonoscopy and bronchoscopy when using remimazolam, midazolam or propofol as sedation. A micro-costing approach was applied, and the model consisted of six stages representing the journey for patients undergoing endoscopies and was informed primarily by data from clinical studies on remimazolam. We found a total cost of DKK 1200 per successful colonoscopy procedure when using remimazolam, a total cost of DKK 1320 when using midazolam, and a total cost of DKK 1255 when using propofol. Hence, the incremental saving per successful colonoscopy procedure of using remimazolam was estimated to be DKK 120 compared to midazolam and DKK 55 compared to propofol. The total cost per successful bronchoscopy procedure when using remimazolam was DKK 1353 and DKK 1724 for midazolam, resulting in an incremental saving per bronchoscopy of DKK 372 when using remimazolam. Performed sensitivity analyses identified the time in recovery as the largest contributor to uncertainty in the analyses of remimazolam compared to midazolam in colonoscopies and bronchoscopies. In the comparison of remimazolam and propofol in colonoscopies, procedure time was the largest contributor to uncertainty. We found that procedural sedation with remimazolam was associated with economically meaningful savings compared to procedural sedation with midazolam and propofol in colonoscopies and to midazolam in bronchoscopies.

description: We present four classes of nonlinear systems which may be considered discrete analogues of the Garnier system. These systems arise as discrete isomonodromic deformations of systems of linear difference equations in which the associated Lax matrices are presented in a factored form. A system of discrete isomonodromic deformations is completely determined by commutation relations between the factors. We also reparameterize these systems in terms of the image and kernel vectors at singular points to obtain a separate birational form. A distinguishing feature of this study is the presence of a symmetry condition on the associated linear problems that only appears as a necessary feature of the Lax pairs for the least degenerate discrete Painlevé equations.

description: We present a toy model of fuzzy Schwarzschild space slice (as a noncommutative manifold) which quantum mean values and quantum quasi-coherent states (states minimizing the quantum uncertainties) have properties close to the classical slice of the $(r,θ)$ Schwarzschild coordinates (the so-called Flamm's paraboloid). This fuzzy Schwarzschild slice is built as a deformation of the noncommutative plane. Quantum time observables are introduced to add a time quantization in the model. We study the structure of the quasi-coherent state of the fuzzy Schwarzschild slice with respect to the quasi-coherent state and the deformation states of the noncommutative plane . The quantum dynamics of a fermion interacting with a fuzzy black hole described by the present model is studied. In particular we study the decoherence effects appearing in the neighborhood of the fuzzy event horizon. An extension of the model to describe a quantum wormhole is also proposed, where we show that fermions cross the wormhole not by traveling by its internal space but by quantum tunneling, in accordance with the non-traversable character of classical Einstein-Rosen bridges.
Barriers and Facilitators of Adherence to Pediatric Antiretroviral Therapy Regimens in Resource Limited Settings: A Systematic Review and Qualitative Research Plan

description: Introduction: Good adherence to ART is known to be extremely important for successful suppression of HIV viral load and to improve clinical outcomes in children. However, high rates of adherence, greater than 95%, are needed to achieve these goals. Therefore it is important that clinical and support staff who work with caregivers and their HIV children understand the importance of good adherence and convey this message to their patients. To do this, we need a foundation of knowledge with which to base an adherence theory on and an understanding of the barriers and facilitators to ART adherence. Though much work on understanding ART adherence has been done in developed settings, the majority on adults, there continues to be a paucity of research and lack of guiding theory regarding ART adherence in children in resource limited settings. This is a significant problem, as the number of children living with HIV in resource limited settings continues to grow, especially in places like sub-Saharan Africa which accounts for 90% of all children living with HIV. Recent scale-up efforts of ART to children in resource limited settings means that adherence has become a highly salient issue. Studies to date on pediatric ART adherence in resource limited settings incorporate a wide array of study populations, study designs, adherence measurement strategies, and definitions of adherence. Drawing conclusions from these studies and development of a culturally appropriate adherence theory has been difficult. Prior studies recommend that more qualitative, formative research will be helpful in the development of such an adherence theory and to help inform the design of more uniform future studies.

description: Feynman's prescription for a quantum simulator was to find a hamitonian for a system that could serve as a computer. Pólya and Hilbert conjecture was to demonstrate Riemann's hypothesis through the spectral decomposition of hermitian operators. Here we study the problem of decomposing a number into its prime factors, $N=xy$, using such a simulator. First, we derive the hamiltonian of the physical system that simulate a new arithmetic function, formulated for the factorization problem, that represents the energy of the computer. This function rests alone on the primes below $\sqrt N$. We exactly solve the spectrum of the quantum system without resorting to any external ad-hoc conditions, also showing that it obtains, for $x\ll \sqrt{N}$, a prediction of the prime counting function that is almost identical to Riemann's $R(x)$ function. It has no counterpart in analytic number theory and its derivation is a consequence of the quantum theory of the simulator alone.

description: Spheromak type flux ropes are increasingly used for modelling coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Many models aim in accurately reconstructing the magnetic field topology of CMEs, considering its importance in assessing their impact on modern technology and human activities in space and on ground. However, so far there is little discussion about how the details of the magnetic structure of a spheromak affect its evolution through the ambient field in the modelling domain, and what impact this has on the accuracy of magnetic field topology predictions. If the spheromak has its axis of symmetry (geometric axis) at an angle with respect to the direction of the ambient field, then the spheromak starts rotating so that its symmetry axis finally aligns with the ambient field. When using the spheromak in space weather forecasting models this tilting can happen already during insertion and significantly affects the results. In this paper we highlight this issue previously not examined in the field of space weather and we estimate the angle by which the spheromak rotates under different conditions. To do this we generated simple purely radial ambient magnetic field topologies (weak/strong positive/negative) and inserted spheromaks with varying initial speed and tilt, and magnetic helicity sign. We employ different physical and geometric criteria to locate the magnetic centre of mass and axis of symmetry of the spheromak. We confirm that spheromaks rotate in all investigated conditions and their direction and angle of rotation depend on the spheromak's initial properties and ambient magnetic field strength and orientation.

description: Most baryonic matter in the universe exists in gaseous form and can be found in structures such as galactic halos and the low-density intergalactic medium. proposed-ray spectroscopy missions such as Athena, Arcus, and Lynx will have the capability to identify absorption lines in spectra toward bright active galactic nuclei (AGNs), which can be used as a tool to probe this missing matter. In this study, we examine the optical fields surrounding 15 primary observing targets and identify the foreground galaxies and galaxy groups that are potential hosts of absorption. We record the basic properties of the potential host and their angular and physical separation from the AGN line of sight. This process is done by marking the location of various galaxies and groups in optical images of the field surrounding the target and plotting their angular separation vs. redshift to gauge physical proximity to the background source. We identify the surrounding objects according to those which have measured redshifts and those that require them.

We study the effect of quantum and relativistic corrections to the gravitational potential of a primary body acting on the orbiting body. More specifically, two equations are derived to approximate the perigee/perihelion/periastron time rate of change and its total variation over one revolution (i.e., the difference between the anomalistic period and the Keplerian period) under the influence of the quantum as well as post- Newtonian accelerations. Numerical results have been obtained for the artificial Earth satellite Molnya, Mercury, and, finally, the for the HW Vir c, planetary companion.

Adolescent Obesity Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Creators: name: Shumate, Janelle A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: BACKGROUND: Adolescents, aged 12-19 years, represent the fastest growing segment of the population affected by the obesity (overweight) epidemic. A simultaneous and equally important trend in the United States (U.S.) is the increasing prevalence of children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Although type 2 DM is an obesity-related disease in adults, a causal relationship between adolescent overweight and pediatric type 2 DM is suspected but not established. OBJECTIVES: The main objective of this review is to systematically explore the association between overweight and type 2 DM in adolescents, and consider the magnitude of any identified association. The principal question is: Within the U.S. adolescent population aged 12-19 years old, is overweight- defined as Body Mass Index (BMl) -for-age 2: 95th percentile (with 85th to lt;95th percentile considered at risk for overweight)- associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus during adolescence? METHODS: Search Strategy- I obtained studies through systematic electronic database searches ofMedline via PubMed and the Cochrane library, supplemented by a manual search of selected journals and bibliographies. Selection criteriaOriginal research articles published in English, involving the U.S. adolescent population, and addressing overweight and/or type 2 DM were eligible for inclusion. Data collection analysis: The primary author independently reviewed relevant studies and extracted evidence into tabular format for analysis. MAIN RESULTS: Eight studies were relevant to the key question (or its pre-defined subcomponent) and rated as fair or good quality. Study designs were prospective longitudinal, cross-sectional, and retrospective cohort, and sample sizes ranged from 36 to 1,242. Outcome measures included BMl, type 2 DM, impaired glucose tolerance, and hyperinsulinism. All studies had flaws, including small sample size, general methodological inconsistencies, and compromised internal validity. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the body of evidence identified for this review concentrates on an association between overweight and metabolic disturbances related to type 2 DM, rather than on type 2 DM specifically. Insufficient evidence is available to reliably conclude on a causal association between overweight status and development of type 2 DM in adolescence. The magnitude of results identified by this review is strong enough to suggest such an association; however, there is a need for research defining true metabolic precursors of adolescent-onset type 2 DM.

description: Classification and identification of different phases and the transitions between them is a central task in condensed matter physics. Machine learning, which has achieved dramatic success in a wide range of applications, holds the promise to bring unprecedented perspectives for this challenging task. However, despite the exciting progress made along this direction, the reliability of machine-learning approaches likewise demands further investigation. Here, with the nitrogen-vacancy center platform, we report the first proof-of-principle experimental demonstration of adversarial examples in learning topological phases. We show that, after adding a tiny amount of carefully-designed perturbations, the experimentally observed adversarial examples can successfully deceive a splendid phase classifier, whose prediction accuracy is larger than $99.2\%$ on legitimate samples, with a notably high confidence. Our results explicitly showcase the crucial vulnerability aspect of applying machine learning techniques in classifying phases of matter, which provides an indispensable guide for future studies in this interdisciplinary field.

description: The longstanding discrepancy between bubble chamber measurements of $ν_μ$-induced single pion production channels has led to large uncertainties in pion production cross section parameters for many years. We extend the reanalysis of pion production data in deuterium bubble chambers where this discrepancy is solved (Wilkinson et al., PRD 90 (2014) 112017) to include the $ν_μn\rightarrow μ^{-}pπ^{0}$ and $ν_μn\rightarrow μ^{-}nπ^{+}$ channels, and use the resulting data to fit the parameters of the GENIE (Rein-Sehgal) pion production model. We find a set of parameters that can describe the bubble chamber data better than the GENIE default parameters, and provide updated central values and reduced uncertainties for use in neutrino oscillation and cross section analyses which use the GENIE model. We find that GENIE's non-resonant background prediction has to be significantly reduced to fit the data, which may help to explain the recent discrepancies between simulation and data observed by the MINERvA coherent pion and NOvA oscillation analyses.

description: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals; however, certain populations are vulnerable to infection and may develop serious sequelae. CMV infection may also have a broad impact on humanistic outcomes, including patient health status and quality of life (QoL). We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to describe the global humanistic burden of CMV and congenital CMV (cCMV) infections across all age groups. Medline, Embase, and LILACS were searched to identify studies on humanistic outcomes following CMV infection, including health status/QoL and any outcomes in domains such as auditory performance, cognitive ability, developmental status, intelligence, language, memory, mental health, motor performance, social communication, speech, and vocabulary. The SLR included articles published from 2000 to 2020 and focused geographically on Australia, Europe, Israel, Japan, Latin America, and North America. Sixty-three studies met the inclusion criteria. In general, individuals with symptomatic cCMV infection experience a greater burden of disease and more substantial impact on QoL versus those with asymptomatic cCMV infection. Children with hearing loss due to cCMV infection, both symptomatic and asymptomatic, showed improved auditory outcomes following cochlear implantation. Newborns, infants, and children with cCMV infections had worse cognitive outcomes in psychological development, sequential and simultaneous processing, phonological working memory, and attention control versus age-matched controls without cCMV infection. CMV infection was also associated with cognitive decline in elderly populations. CMV infection can have substantial, lifelong, heterogenous impacts on humanistic outcomes, including health status and QoL, which should be considered when developing and implementing treatment and prevention strategies.

description: Background:  As telephone survey nonresponse rates have grown so has the increased risk of nonresponse bias.  Research has shown that personal characteristics can be associated with telephone interviewer performance.  Identifying which traits are associated with success and using this knowledge to coach poor performers could be a cost-effective way to reduce nonresponse.Methods:  In an attempt to replicate previous findings, I collected data on interviewer characteristics and measured correlations between these traits and two performance measures:  Percent First Refusals (PFR) and Net Contribution to Performance Index (NCPI).Results:  Analyses indicated that perceiving oneself as efficient was associated with a lower (worse) NCPI score (p=.02) and that perceiving telephone interviewing as more difficult was associated with a lower (better) PFR (p=.04).  Conclusions:  Conducting periodic, timely surveys to assess interviewer characteristics and creating tailored training modules based on the results could be a cost-effective method to reduce nonresponse.

description: A reinforcement learning (RL) control policy could fail in a new/perturbed environment that is different from the training environment, due to the presence of dynamic variations. For controlling systems with continuous state and action spaces, we propose an add-on approach to robustifying a pre-trained RL policy by augmenting it with an $\mathcal{L}_{1}$ adaptive controller ($\mathcal{L}_{1}$AC). Leveraging the capability of an $\mathcal{L}_{1}$AC for fast estimation and active compensation of dynamic variations, the proposed approach can improve the robustness of an RL policy which is trained either in a simulator or in the real world without consideration of a broad class of dynamic variations. Numerical and real-world experiments empirically demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach in robustifying RL policies trained using both model-free and model-based methods.

Determinants of Patient Response to Satisfactory Relief in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome

description: BACKGROUND: Treatment trials for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) commonly report satisfactory relief of symptoms as an outcome measure at the end of a trial. It is unclear what predicts a response to this multidimensional construct. AIMS: (1) Assess if the following primary independent variables predict satisfactory relief of bowel symptoms: patient reported effectiveness of treatment, patient report severity of side effects, and patient satisfaction with initial physician visit. (2) Determine if these independent variables differ among patients taking prescription versus non-prescription medications for IBS relief. (3) Determine if satisfactory relief is predicted by baseline scores on the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SS) or the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). ( 4) Test if the independent variables predict satisfaction with treatment. METHODS: A total of 835 patients (78% females, average age 52 yr) who had a medical diagnosis of iBS and satisfied Rome II criteria, were recruited from Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound. The initial questionnaire assessed baseline symptom severity (IBS-SS) and psychological distress (BSI). The follow-up questionnaire, administered after 6 months, assessed responses to the satisfactory relief outcome measured on a binary scale, satisfaction with treatment outcome measured on an ordinal scale, and responses to patient reported effectiveness of treatment, patient report severity of side effects, and patient satisfaction with initial physician visit. RESULTS: Greater patient reported treatment effectiveness predicted satisfactory relief for prescription drug users (OR= 3.1) and nonprescription drug users (OR= 2.3). Lesser side effect severity to prescription drugs was a statistically significant predictor of satisfactory relief for prescription drugs (OR= 0.65) but not nonprescription drugs. Patient satisfaction with initial physician visit had a negligible predictive value for the satisfactory relief outcome after adjusting for other independent variables. Responses to the secondary outcome, satisfaction with treatment measured on an ordinal scale, were largely congruent with satisfactory relief for all primary variables tested. Neither baseline psychological distress nor baseline symptom severity significantly predicted satisfactory relief after multivariable adjustment, although the results suggest that a larger sample may show significant trends. CONCLUSIONS: These data from an observational study suggest that patient's perceptions of drug effectiveness and side effect severity with prescription medications are significant predictors of satisfactory relief, while physician-patient interaction does not significantly predict satisfactory relief. These results may help in the future design of clinical trials for IBS.
