Assessing Obstetrician-Gynecologist Attitudes and Knowledge of Primary Care
Creators: name: Patel, Silka
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn) is unique among medical specialties in that it offers both comprehensive surgical and outpatient clinical care. As a provider of health care for women1 the specialty of Ob/gyn has also been referred to as a primary care specialty, like family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics. To formally address this focus, curriculum changes to residency training implemented in 1997 mandated six months of primary care training over the four year residency. Programs were given liberty to accomplish this change in a variety of ways. Since this change debate has continued as to what Obstetrician-Gynecologists consider primary care and if they themselves see the specialty as serving the primary care needs of women. Since the time of these changes, much work has been done to look at the attitudes and practice patterns of Ob/Gyns in terms of primary care services. What has not been studied is the definition of primary care ascribed by most Ob/Gyn practitioners and the affect this has on their attitudes towards Ob/Gyn as a primary care specialty. This study hopes to address this issue by allowing participants to define the characteristics they feel are important for a primary care specialty and then describe which of these falls within the scope of the obstetric and gynecology specialty. A large factor in the PCP designation is the ability to diagnose and manage common conditions without specialty referral. This study will look at this particular aspect of primary care by assessing practice patterns of participants in detail. Lastly, even if most participants feel that Ob/Gyn is a primary care specialty, they will be ineffective if they do not have the skills needed to practice in this capacity. Little work has been done to assess the level of primary care knowledge since the revision of the curriculum in 1997. The study will assess knowledge of specific primary care screening topics among residents, fellows and attendings. This pilot study will be conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Population Health Indicators for a Public Health Portal
Creators: name: Dehler, Kim
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Over twenty years ago, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released its report "The Future of Public Health" (Institute of Medicine, 1988). This report established assessment as a core public health function of every public health agency. The IOM recommends local public health agencies "regularly and systematically collect, assemble, analyze, and make information available on the health of the community, including statistics on health status, community health needs, and epidemiologic and other studies of health problems" (Institute of Medicine, 1988, p. 7). Since the IOM report, the definition and process for conducting a community health assessment (CHA) has evolved relative to implementation of various national and state initiatives (Friedman & Parrish, 2009; Irani, Bohn, Halasin, Landin & McCusker, 2006; National Association of City and County Health Officials [NACCHO], 2011). There is increased recognition that chronic diseases are not only the most prevalent and costly of health problems, accounting for 70% of all deaths, but they are also the most preventable. One result of this recognition has been the expansion of chronic disease prevention programs in state public health agencies. Many of these programs are believed to be effective, but program evaluation has suffered due to the lack of available high quality data at the community level. The need for this timely, quality data is critical for accurate assessment and evaluation to assure appropriate programs and policies are developed and implemented in a cost effective manner (Brownson and Bright, 2004; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2004). The purpose of this paper is to review the methods commonly used for community health assessment and improvement processes for the purposes of informing an emerging health information exchange about tools and performance indicators to assist with development of a public health data portal for chronic disease prevention activities.

Exercise Tolerance Testing to Screen for Coronary Heart Disease: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Fowler-Brown, Angela, MD
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: Background: Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Exercise tolerance testing has been proposed as a means of better identifying asymptomatic patients at high risk for coronary heart disease events. Purpose: To review the evidence on the use of exercise tolerance testing to screen adults with no history of cardiovascular disease for coronary heart disease. Data Sources: The MEDLINE database from 1966 through February 2003, handsearching of bibliographies, and expert input. Study Selection: Eligible studies evaluated the benefits or harms of exercise tolerance testing when added to traditional risk assessment for adults with no known history of cardiovascular events. Data Extraction: One reviewer extracted information from eligible articles into evidence tables, and another reviewer checked the tables. Disagreements were resolved by consensus. Data Synthesis: No study has directly examined the effect of screening asymptomatic patients with exercise tolerance testing on coronary heart disease outcomes or risk-reducing behaviors or therapies. Multiple cohort studies demonstrate that screening exercise tolerance testing identifies a small proportion of asymptomatic persons (up to 2.7% of those screened) with severe coronary artery obstruction who may benefit from revascularization. Several large prospective cohort studies, conducted principally in middle-aged men, suggest that exercise tolerance testing can provide independent prognostic information about the risk for future coronary heart disease events (relative risk with abnormal exercise tolerance testing, 2.0 to 5.0). However, when the risk for coronary heart disease events is low, most positive findings will be false and may result in unnecessary further testing or worry. The risk level at which the benefits of additional prognostic information outweigh the harms of false-positive results is unclear and requires further study. Conclusions: Although screening exercise tolerance testing detects severe coronary artery obstruction in a small proportion of persons screened and can provide independent prognostic information about the risk for coronary heart disease events, the effect of this information on clinical management and disease outcomes in asymptomatic patients is unclear.

description: Consumers, regulators, and ISPs all use client-based "speed tests" to measure network performance, both in single-user settings and in aggregate. Two prevalent speed tests, Ookla's Speedtest and Measurement Lab's Network Diagnostic Test (NDT), are often used for similar purposes, despite having significant differences in both the test design and implementation, and in the infrastructure used to perform measurements. In this paper, we present the first-ever comparative evaluation of Ookla and NDT7 (the latest version of NDT), both in controlled and wide-area settings. Our goal is to characterize when and to what extent these two speed tests yield different results, as well as the factors that contribute to the differences. To study the effects of the test design, we conduct a series of controlled, in-lab experiments under a comprehensive set of network conditions and usage modes (e.g., TCP congestion control, native vs. browser client). Our results show that Ookla and NDT7 report similar speeds under most in-lab conditions, with the exception of networks that experience high latency, where Ookla consistently reports higher throughput. To characterize the behavior of these tools in wide-area deployment, we collect more than 80,000 pairs of Ookla and NDT7 measurements across nine months and 126 households, with a range of ISPs and speed tiers. This first-of-its-kind paired-test analysis reveals many previously unknown systemic issues, including high variability in NDT7 test results and systematically under-performing servers in the Ookla network.

description: Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a promising material for implementation in spintronics due to a large band gap, low spin-orbit coupling, and a small lattice mismatch to graphene and to close-packed surfaces of fcc-Ni(111) and hcp-Co(0001). Epitaxial deposition of h-BN on ferromagnetic metals is aimed at small interface scattering of charge and spin carriers. We report on the controlled growth of h-BN/Ni(111) by means of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Structural and electronic properties of this system are investigated using cross-section transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron spectroscopies which confirm good agreement with the properties of bulk h-BN. The latter are also corroborated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, revealing that the first h-BN layer at the interface to Ni is metallic. Our investigations demonstrate that MBE is a promising, versatile alternative to both the exfoliation approach and chemical vapour deposition of h-BN.

description: We present an energy-conserving numerical scheme to solve the Vlasov-Maxwell (VM) system based on the regularized moment method proposed in [Z. Cai, Y. Fan, and R. Li. CPAM, 2014]. The globally hyperbolic moment system is deduced for the multi-dimensional VM system under the framework of the Hermite expansions, where the expansion center and the scaling factor are set as the macroscopic velocity and local temperature, respectively. Thus, the effect of the Lorentz force term could be reduced into several ODEs about the macroscopic velocity and the moment coefficients of higher order, which could significantly reduce the computational cost of the whole system. An energy-conserving numerical scheme is proposed to solve the moment equations and the Maxwell equations, where only a linear equation system needs to be solved. Several numerical examples such as the two-stream instability, Weibel instability, and the two-dimensional Orszag Tang vortex problem are studied to validate the efficiency and excellent energy-preserving property of the numerical scheme.

description: Plumbago europaea L. belongs to the family Plumbaginaceae, which has many medicinal and nutritional applications. It is among the significant medicinal herbs used widely in folk medicine in Syria to treat skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis. There are no previous studies of the aerial parts’ essential oils of this plant. So, herein we report on determining the chemical composition of essential oils extracted from the aerial parts of P. europaea L., which were collected from a mountainous area in Latakia Province, Syria, by utilising the GC-MS technique. The major compounds identified in the flower’s essential oils were: plumbagin (32.4%), hexadecanoic acid (13.79%), heneicosane (9.03%) and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-ethylphenol (8.40%). While in the leaves’ essential oils were phytol (17.97%), dibutyl phthalate (15.45%), heneicosane (6.91%) and hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (6.72%). In addition, according to the published literature, most of the identified compounds have been reported to exhibit significant biological activities.

Toward Realistic Models of Core Collapse Supernovae: A Brief Review

description: Motivated by their role as the direct or indirect source of many of the elements in the Universe, numerical modeling of core collapse supernovae began more than five decades ago. Progress toward ascertaining the explosion mechanism(s) has been realized through increasingly sophisticated models, as physics and dimensionality have been added, as physics and numerical modeling have improved, and as the leading computational resources available to modelers have become far more capable. The past five to ten years have witnessed the emergence of a consensus across the core collapse supernova modeling community that had not existed in the four decades prior. For the majority of progenitors - i.e., slowly rotating progenitors - the efficacy of the delayed shock mechanism, where the stalled supernova shock wave is revived by neutrino heating by neutrinos emanating from the proto-neutron star, has been demonstrated by all core collapse supernova modeling groups, across progenitor mass and metallicity. With this momentum, and now with a far deeper understanding of the dynamics of these events, the path forward is clear. While much progress has been made, much work remains to be done, but at this time we have every reason to be optimistic we are on track to answer one of the most important outstanding questions in astrophysics: How do massive stars end their lives?

description: Simulations of high-energy density physics often need non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) opacity data. This data, however, is expensive to produce at relatively low-fidelity. It is even more so at high-fidelity such that the opacity calculations can contribute ninety-five percent of the total computation time. This proportion can even reach large proportions. Neural networks can be used to replace the standard calculations of low-fidelity data, and the neural networks can be trained to reproduce artificial, high-fidelity opacity spectra. In this work, it is demonstrated that a novel neural network architecture trained to reproduce high-fidelity krypton spectra through transfer learning can be used in simulations. Further, it is demonstrated that this can be done while achieving a relative percent error of the peak radiative temperature of the hohlraum of approximately 1\% to 4\% while achieving a 19.4x speed up.
Pandemic Influenza and Support from Community Volunteer Organizations: How The Civil Air Patrol Can Help Local Communities During a Pandemic
Creators: name: Meade, Paul
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Volunteer organizations can have a significant impact within a community, especially during times of a disaster. Natural disasters like flooding, hurricanes, and tornados can strike at anytime and the ability of a community to recover is often dependent on the level of volunteerism provided to that community. Influenza pandemics, while considered somewhat of a natural disaster, present a unique set of challenges for disaster recovery. With many natural disasters the infrastructure is compromised, but with a pandemic, the infrastructure remains intact while human resources are compromised during the attack. As such, community volunteer organizations need to develop a Contingency Plan before they can prepare their Response Plan to assist the community. The Contingency Plan is designed to address high levels of absenteeism during a pandemic while maintaining their usual operations. It also seeks to protect those volunteers against succumbing to the virus while performing their duties. The Response Plan defines how the volunteer organization will provide assistance to the community during the pandemic. The Civil Air Patrol, a volunteer organization providing emergency services to local communities, can provide assistance to state Public Health departments by transporting basic and medical supplies to either local Health Units or directly to people in need. By entering into formal or informal partnerships with state and local agencies, a volunteer organization can participate in the coordinated effort to help with relief and recovery during a pandemic attack on a community. This paper addresses how community volunteer organizations, and in particular the Civil Air Patrol, can develop a Contingency Plan and a coordinated Response Plan to provide assistance to state and local authorities during an influenza 4 pandemic. Since Public Health officials are instrumental in coordinating efforts during an influenza pandemic, it is important for Public Health practitioners to have a sound understanding of how community volunteer organizations can provide assistance in addressing the needs of the public during such disasters.

description: The stochastic momentum method is a commonly used acceleration technique for solving large-scale stochastic optimization problems in artificial neural networks. Current convergence results of stochastic momentum methods under non-convex stochastic settings mostly discuss convergence in terms of the random output and minimum output. To this end, we address the convergence of the last iterate output (called last-iterate convergence) of the stochastic momentum methods for non-convex stochastic optimization problems, in a way conformal with traditional optimization theory. We prove the last-iterate convergence of the stochastic momentum methods under a unified framework, covering both stochastic heavy ball momentum and stochastic Nesterov accelerated gradient momentum. The momentum factors can be fixed to be constant, rather than time-varying coefficients in existing analyses. Finally, the last-iterate convergence of the stochastic momentum methods is verified on the benchmark MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets.

description: Monkeypox (mpox), a former rare viral zoonosis, has increasingly made it into the public eye since the major outbreak that started in May 2022. Mpox presents with skin lesions that change over time and go through different stages (macular, papular, pustular, and early and late ulceration). In this study, we evaluated skin biopsies of all stages. Therefore, five biopsies from four patients were analyzed histologically, immunohistochemically with anti-Vaccinia virus antibodies, and electron-microscopically. Notably, the early macular stage only showed subtle viropathic changes; it did not express of Orthopoxvirus proteins in immunohistochemistry and therefore can easily be missed histologically. In later stages, immunohistochemistry with anti-Vaccinia virus antibodies might be useful to distinguish mpox from differential diagnoses such as herpes virus infections. In the ulcerative stages, the identified occlusive vasculopathic changes could be an explanation for the severe pain of the lesions reported by some patients. Despite the small number of samples examined, our analysis suggests that the histological findings of mpox are highly dependent on the stage of the biopsied lesion. Therefore, knowledge of all different stages of histology is necessary to reliably diagnose mpox histologically, especially when molecular testing is not available.

description: Morrill and Valentin in the paper "Computational coverage of TLG: Nonlinearity" considered an extension of the Lambek calculus enriched by a so-called "exponential" modality. This modality behaves in the "relevant" style, that is, it allows contraction and permutation, but not weakening. Morrill and Valentin stated an open problem whether this system is decidable. Here we show its undecidability. Our result remains valid if we consider the fragment where all division operations have one direction. We also show that the derivability problem in a restricted case, where the modality can be applied only to variables (primitive types), is decidable and belongs to the NP class.

description: We investigate the possible origins of the norm and shape reactor antineutrino anomalies in the framework of a summation model (SM) where $β^{-}$ transitions are simulated by a phenomenological Gamow-Teller $β$-decay strength model. The general trends of the discrepancies to the Huber-Mueller model on the antineutrino side can be reproduced both in norm and shape. From the exact electron-antineutrino correspondence of the SM model, we predict similar distortions in the electron spectra, suggesting that biases on the reference fission-electron spectra could be at the origin of the anomalies.

description: The Semantic Architecture of Universal Human Emotions Hypothesis posits two classes of expectation--each measurable on interval scales--that exist as components of an individual's world-concept or schema such that specific points or regions on a quadrant map of those two classes represented as orthogonal axes correlate to five qualitatively distinct universal human emotions: fear, anger, joy, disgust, and sorrow. Stated briefly, one class of expectation pertains to self-efficacy beliefs and the other to expectations regarding the validating recognition of and acting with favorable respect to one's subjective experiences and preferences. This hypothesis was generated and is explained using theoretical assumptions from cybernetics, Locke & Latham's goal theory, Fishbein's expectancy-value theory, Osgood's semantic differential, Ekman's research regarding facial expressions, Bandura's self-efficacy theory, as well as the theoretical frameworks of multiple person-centered psychotherapeutic approaches (e.g., Rogers, Kelly, Miller & Rollnick, etc.) and Csikszentmihalyi's work regarding flow.

description: Despite efforts by the Nicaraguan Ministry of Health (MINSA) to improve maternal and child health outcomes, Nicaragua continues to have high rates of maternal and child mortality (The World Bank, 2016). 1,000 Days of Difference is an integrated, community-based program that aims to improve maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) for high-risk mothers and children aged 0-2 in a resettlement community in Managua, Nicaragua.  Specifically, the program aims to provide high-quality prenatal and postnatal care; increase breastfeeding rates, promote healthy nutrition practices; decrease the prevalence of child malnutrition within the first 2 years of a child’s life; ensure access to preventive pediatric care and immunizations; and eliminate unintended repeat pregnancies within a 2-year timeframe. The program is in year one of a three-year pilot phase and will undergo an impact evaluation following the end of the three-year period. The 1,000 Days of Difference program and evaluation plan is presented in this paper. The program and evaluation plan builds upon the foundational work that has already been completed prior to the launch of the program pilot phase. The paper opens with a literature review of similar community-based integrated maternal and child programs in developing countries. The program plan outlines the activities, goals, and implementation plan of the program. The evaluation plan incorporates both process and outcome evaluation objectives, and presents a model for evaluating short and long-term program success.

description: In this paper, we develop data-driven closure/correction terms to increase the pressure and velocity accuracy of reduced order models (ROMs) for fluid flows. Specifically, we propose the first pressure-based data-driven variational multiscale ROM, in which we use the available data to construct closure/correction terms for both the momentum equation and the continuity equation. Our numerical investigation of the two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder at Re=50000 in the marginally-resolved regime shows that the novel pressure data-driven variational multiscale ROM yields significantly more accurate velocity and pressure approximations than the standard ROM and, more importantly, than the original data-driven variational multiscale ROM (i.e., without pressure components). In particular, our numerical results show that adding the closure/correction term in the momentum equation significantly improves both the velocity and the pressure approximations, whereas adding the closure/correction term in the continuity equation improves only the pressure approximation.

description: Spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT or GRID) is an approach to deliver high local radiation doses in an 'on-off' pattern. To better appraise the radiobiological effects from GRID, a framework to link local radiation dose to clonogenic survival needs to be developed. A549 (lung) cancer cells were irradiated in T25 cm$^2$ flasks using 220 kV X-rays with an open field or through a tungsten GRID collimator with periodical 5 mm openings and 10 mm blockings. Delivered nominal doses were 2, 5, and 10 Gy. A novel approach for image segmentation was used to locate the centroid of surviving colonies in scanned images of the cell flasks. GafchromicTM film dosimetry (GFD) and FLUKA Monte Carlo (MC) simulations were employed to map the dose distribution in the flasks at each surviving colony centroid. Fitting the linear-quadratic (LQ) function to clonogenic survival data for open field irradiation, the expected survival level at a given dose level was calculated. The expected survival level was then mapped together with the observed levels in the GRID-irradiated flasks. GFD and FLUKA MC gave similar dose distributions, with a mean peak-to-valley dose ratio of about 5. LQ-parameters for open field irradiation gave $α= 0.16 \pm 0.04$ Gy$^{-1}$ and $β= 0.001 \pm 0.004$ Gy$^{-2}$. Using the image segmentation method, the mean absolute percentage deviation between observed and predicted survival in the (peak; valley) dose regions was (8; 10) %, (4; 41) %, and (3; 138) % for 2, 5 and 10 Gy, respectively. In conclusion, a framework for mapping of surviving colonies following GRID irradiation together with predicted survival levels from homogeneous irradiation was presented. For the given cell line, our findings indicate that GRID irradiation, especially at high peak doses, causes reduced survival compared to an open field configuration.

description: High resolution nanoscale imaging in liquid environments is crucial for studying molecular interactions in biological and chemical systems. In particular, electron microscopy is the gold-standard tool for nanoscale imaging, but its high-vacuum requirements make application to in-liquid samples extremely challenging. Here we present a new graphene based wet cell device where high resolution SEM (scanning electron microscope) and Energy Dispersive X-rays (EDX) analysis can be performed directly inside a liquid environment. Graphene is an ideal membrane material as its high transparancy, conductivity and mechanical strength can support the high vacuum and grounding requirements of a SEM while enabling maximal resolution and signal. In particular, we obtain high resolution (< 5 nm) SEM video images of nanoparticles undergoing brownian motion inside the graphene wet cell and EDX analysis of nanoparticle composition in the liquid enviornment. Our obtained resolution surpasses current conventional silicon nitride devices imaged in both SEM and TEM under much higher electron doses.

description: In the early Universe, dark energy may have a non-negligible contribution. If this dark energy corresponds to an early cosmological constant, it leads to a late-time huge dark energy density which is much larger than what is expected for the current expansion of the Universe. Using a conformal coupling of the quintessence to the dark matter, and based on the screening models, we propose a process to reduce the early dark energy to its ultimate value in the late time. Early and late time dark energies can be unified in a single component, in this way.

description: Work on self-healing materials has drastically grown over the years as researchers have hoped to improve device lifetime. While first beginning as embedded capsules with self-healing reagents to provide a one-time self-healing event, self-healing research has also expanded into imparting intrinsic self-healing properties by incorporating dynamic bonds into commonly used polymers to achieve repeatable self-healing properties and maintaining original polymer properties. The subsequent dispersion of functional fillers into these self-healing polymers was a logical next step to create self-healing sensors, soft robots, etc. However, like non-self-healing filled elastomers, fillers cannot be arbitrarily added to dynamic elastomers without encountering a loss in self-healing polymers. Often, this limits functional and structural enhancement. While research in self-healing composites has been heavily done, direct insight into the key factors dictating maximum filler content is not fully understood. The overarching goal of this dissertation is to elucidate some of the key interactions that dictate self-healing efficiency in polymer composites. Different systems of self-healing bond time and functional filler time are combined and explored. Specifically, this work explores the different interactions of rigid (carbon nanotubes) and soft (liquid metal) fillers on room temperature self-healing networks, the effect of rigid fillers on on-demand self-healing networks, and the exploration of networks with both room temperature and on-demand dynamic bonds. Via a variety of static and mechanical experiments, this work provides experimental insight on how self-healing networks are affected by filler properties and state. Additionally, we explore how combining two different self-healing bond types can impact self-healing properties. In a larger scope, this work provides insight on the key factors that dictate dynamic properties in self-healing nanocomposites when designing functionalized self-healing composites that demonstrate high functionality and high self-healing efficiency.
