Managing Patients at High-risk for Breast Cancer: An eLearning Module for Primary Care Providers
Creators: name: Chaney, Erin
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

Women at high-risk of developing breast cancer must be screened appropriately and educated about breast cancer reduction strategies much earlier than those of average risk. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) (2017) has identified guidelines for the care of this group. This project focused on the development of education for providers, specifically an eLearning module, to help translate guidelines into practice.  Providers of adult primary care (including internal medicine and family practice) from four clinics in Snohomish County, Washington, were asked to participate in an eLearning module regarding the care of patients at high-risk for breast cancer. Repeated measures surveys using a Likert Scale were presented to the PCP participants, as well as questions regarding demographics and current practices.  The surveys assessed the four components of learning according to the Kirkpatrick Model including reaction, knowledge, behavior and results.  Paired t-tests were used to evaluate learning regarding knowledge and behavior, showing statistically significant improvement (sig. < 0.05) between pretest and posttest for questions about understanding current evidence-based recommendations, use of a screening tool, and referrals to a breast care specialist, supporting that learning occurred and participants believed this learning would impact their behaviors.  High-risk breast education is needed for the PCP to engage in shared decision-making with their patients about high risk care.  The NCCN (2016) has created evidence-based guidelines for the support and monitoring of patients who are found to be at high-risk; however, this evidence continues to be slowly disseminated.

description: For more than 1.8 million years hominins at Olduvai Gorge were faced with a choice: whether to use lavas, quartzite or chert to produce stone tools. All are available locally and all are suitable for stone tool production. Using controlled cutting tests and fracture mechanics theory we examine raw material selection decisions throughout Olduvai's Early Stone Age. We quantify the force, work and material deformation required by each stone type when cutting, before using these data to compare edge sharpness and durability. Significant differences are identified, confirming performance to depend on raw material choice. When combined with artefact data, we demonstrate that Early Stone Age hominins optimized raw material choices based on functional performance characteristics. Doing so flexibly: choosing raw materials dependent on their sharpness and durability, alongside a tool's loading potential and anticipated use-life. In this way, we demonstrate that early lithic artefacts at Olduvai Gorge were engineered to be functionally optimized cutting tools.

description: We present VLBA observations and a statistical analysis of 5 GHz VLBI polarimetry data from 177 sources in the Caltech-Jodrell Bank flat-spectrum (CJF) survey. The CJF survey, a complete, flux-density-limited sample of 293 extragalactic radio sources, gives us the unique opportunity to compare a broad range of source properties for quasars, galaxies and BL Lacertae objects. We focus primarily on jet properties, specifically the correlation between the jet axis angle and the polarization angle in the core and jet. A strong correlation is found for the electric vector polarization angle in the cores of quasars to be perpendicular to the jet axis. Contrary to previous claims, no correlation is found between the jet polarization angle and the jet axis in either quasars or BL Lac objects. With this large, homogeneous sample we are also able to investigate cosmological issues and AGN evolution.

Screening Adults with Substance Use Disorder for Adverse Childhood Experiences
Creators: name: Murtha, Teri
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

Background and purpose-Exposure to adverse childhood experiences results in increased morbidity and mortality among individuals with substance use disorders. Screening for histories of childhood trauma, and integration of trauma-informed care is lacking among health care practitioners. Integrating screening for histories of childhood abuse in person’s seeking treatment for substance abuse disorders can facilitate identification of individuals interested in additional support and resources to support their recovery. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of a screening interview protocol for ACEs and to determine the presence of ACEs among individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) who participate in an intensive outpatient program.
Methods: The screening interview was administered to subjects who met the inclusion, exclusion criteria. ACEs scores, and demographics were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Bivariate statistics were used to examine relationships between ACE scores, time to administer screening, follow-up referrals and the nurse practitioner’s comfort and confidence level.
Results: Over half of the participants had ACE score of six or above, with all having experienced at least one ACE. The comfort level of the interviewer with the screening process positively correlated to the confidence level. There was a negative correlation between time to administer the screening as comfort and confidence levels increased.
Conclusions: The NP using the screening interview effectively and efficiently identified clients with ACEs. The ACE level was extraordinarily high, 6 or above, which supports the necessity of screening all SUD patients participating in treatment to capture those individuals interested in additional support and resources to facilitate their recovery.

description: The proposed method aims to approximate a solution of a fluid-fluid interaction problem in case of low viscosities. The nonlinear interface condition on the joint boundary allows for this problem to be viewed as a simplified version of the atmosphere-ocean coupling. Thus, the proposed method should be viewed as potentially applicable to air-sea coupled flows in turbulent regime. The method consists of two key ingredients. The geometric averaging approach is used for efficient and stable decoupling of the problem, which would allow for the usage of preexisting codes for the air and sea domain separately, as "black boxes". This is combined with the variational multiscale stabilization technique for treating flows at high Reynolds numbers. We prove the stability and accuracy of the method and provide several numerical tests to assess both the quantitative and qualitative features of the computed solution.

description: We show that the behaviour of the outgoing radial null geodesic congruence on the boundary of the trapped region (suitably defined as a four dimensional region) is related to the property of nakedness in spherical dust collapse. The argument involves a conformal transformation which justifies the difference in the Penrose diagrams in the naked and covered dust collapse scenarios.

description: The purpose of this study was to compare the separate and combined effects of two practical cooling methods (hand and torso) used prior to exercise on subsequent high-intensity cycling performance in heat. Ten trained male cyclists (V̇O2peak: 65.7±10.7 ml.kg−1.min−1) performed four experimental trials (randomised within-subjects design) involving 30 min of pre-cooling (20 min seated; PRE-COOL, 10 min warm-up; PRE-COOL+WUP), while using a: (1) hand cooling glove (CG); (2) cooling jacket (CJ); (3) both CG and CJ (CG+J); or (4) no-cooling (NC) control, followed by a cycling race simulation protocol (all performed in 35.0±0.6°C and 56.6±4.5% RH). During the 30 min of pre-cooling, no reductions in core (Tc) or mean skin temperature (Tsk) occurred, however Tsk remained lower in the CJ and CG+J trials compared to NC and CG (p=0.002-0.040, d=0.55-1.01). Thermal sensation ratings also indicated that participants felt ‘hotter’ during NC compared to all other trials during both PRE-COOL and PRE-COOL+WUP (p=0.001-0.015, d=1.0-2.19), plus the early stages of exercise (sets 1-2; p=0.005-0.050, d=0.56-1.22). Following cooling, no differences were found for absolute Tc and Tsk responses between trials over the entire exercise protocol (p>0.05). Exercise and cognitive (working memory) performance also did not differ between trials (p=0.843), however cognitive performance improved over time in all trials (p<0.001). In summary, pre-cooling (20 min seated and 10 min warm-up) in heat did not improve subsequent high-intensity cycling performance, cognitive responses and associated thermoregulatory strain (Tc and Tsk) compared to control.
Reference-State One-Particle Density-Matrix Theory

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A density-matrix formalism is developed based on the one-particle density-matrix of a single-determinantal reference-state. The v-representable problem does not appear in the proposed method, nor the need to introduce functionals defined by a constrained search. The correlation-energy functionals are not universal; they depend on the external potential. Nevertheless, model systems can still be used to derive universal energy-functionals. In addition, the correlation-energy functionals can be partitioned into individual terms that are -- to a varying degree -- universal; yielding, for example, an electron gas approximation. Variational and non-variational energy functionals are introduced that yield the target-state energy when the reference state -- or its corresponding one-particle density matrix -- is constructed from Brueckner orbitals. Using many-body perturbation theory, diagrammatic expansions are given for the non-variational energy-functionals, where the individual diagrams explicitly depend on the one-particle density-matrix. Non-variational energy-functionals yield generalized Hartree--Fock equations involving a non-local correlation-potential and the Hartree--Fock exchange; these equations are obtained by imposing the Brillouin--Brueckner condition. The same equations -- for the most part -- are obtained from variational energy-functionals using functional minimizations, yielding the (kernel of) correlation potential as the functional derivative of correlation-energy functionals. Approximations for the correlation-energy functions are introduced, including a one-particle-density-matrix variant of the local-density approximation (LDA) and a variant of the Lee--Yang--Parr (LYP) functional.

Improving Blood Pressure Control Among Hispanic Patient Population  by Enhancing Providers' Attention to Culturally Competent Solutions Aimed at  Increasing Self-Care and Treatment Adherence At and Post Hospital Discharge:  A Quality Improvement Project
Creators: name: Swistak, Katarzyna
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

Background and Review of Literature: Hypertension is a primary, preventable risk factor for coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke. However, despite advances in preventive care and treatment modalities related to blood pressure control, the prevalence of hypertension in the United States remains at an undesirable level and disproportionately affects Hispanic patients. Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement (QI) project was to determine if a culturally sensitive, multifaceted intervention focused on promotion of hypertension awareness and self- management strategies increases treatment compliance and blood pressure control among Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Hispanics. Design/Methods: The DNP project included a QI protocol with an education evaluation design aimed at improving blood pressure control and hypertension self-management in the LEP Hispanic patient population. Implementation Procedures: The DNP student lead a QI team to identify hypertensive LEP Latinos upon admission to an inpatient medical surgical unit. LEP Hispanic patients received language concordant education related to hypertension and self-management including home blood pressure monitoring paired with post discharge health coaching. Access to outpatient follow up care was ascertained to facilitate treatment continuum. Results/Interpretation: Ninety percent of participants (n=18) reported timely primary care follow up. Forty percent (n=8) attended the three month follow up and demonstrated 74% increase in medication adherence scores and 43% improvement in knowledge related to hypertension and self-management. Seven participants in the follow up group met target blood pressure goal and majority (n=6) verbalized interest in future health coaching opportunities. Implications: The multifactorial QI measure resulted in improved blood pressure control and engagement and in self-care and among LEP Latinos.

description: Mud is one of the predominant vernacular building materials in rural settlements in Bangladesh, especially in the northern region because of its unique thermal performance. Mud being a very cheap, abundant, and environmentally friendly building material, is used extensively for building construction in the subcontinent. Mud as a building material has high heat capacity and low thermal conductivity which enhances the thermal stability of earthen building compared to other materials. This paper aims at analyzing the thermal performance of residential earthen buildings in northern Bangladesh and providing a basis for designing mud houses in rural Bangladesh according to environmental considerations. The resultant data from thermal simulation conducted in ‘Ecotect Analysis’ software shows that mud houses keep the indoor environment comparatively cooler than the outdoor warm environment during summer and the opposite during winter season which results in proper thermal comfort for the inhabitants.
Hepatitis C Virus Education for Nurse Practitioners in Primary Care

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

Purpose: The object of this Quality Improvement (QI) project was to appraise the effectiveness of a web-based education resource for APN’s knowledge of HCV recommendations.
 Methods: An educational intervention was conducted for APNs working in primary care medicine to increase provider knowledge of screening, diagnosing and management of viral Hepatitis C which utilized a web-based provider-specific curricula.  A pre-test and post-test survey was used to assess the APN’s Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) regarding the current published evidence. Continuing education credits and small financial incentives were offered for participation. The curriculum was evaluated by an Infectious Disease expert APN.
Results: One provider (out of 225 invited) completed the intervention in its entirety, 89 participants opened the pre-intervention survey and 36 of those participants completed the survey. Ten providers viewed varying sections of all the modules. Interestingly, many providers endorsed knowledge and comfort regarding HCV guidelines however, the survey responses lacked evidence of correctly translating that comprehension.
Conclusion: Further evaluation is needed to understand the nuances of implementing provider focused education of evidence-based practices

Screening for Major Depression in Elderly Primary Care Patients Using the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2)
Creators: name: Karimi, Judith
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

Background: Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders addressed in primary care with a lifetime prevalence of 12.2%. Current depression screening rates are low, with only 2.0% of primary care visits having depression screening suggesting that the vast majority of older adult patients suffering from depression do not receive adequate treatment.
Methods: The goal of this quality improvement project was to increase depression screening rates in an outpatient primary care setting in Upstate New York. This was accomplished by implementing the PHQ-2 screening tool for depression screening in adults over the age of 65. The goal was for providers to screen at least 30 to 40 patients within a three-month period.
Results: At the end of the 12-week time period, a total of 212 patients were screened for depression. Providers were interviewed on their use of the tool, and the number of patients screened, treated or referred, were reported. Nineteen patients were referred to a mental health provider or prescribed an antidepressant. Twenty seven were referred for counseling, and sixty four were given a follow-up appointment for further evaluation. The theoretical framework was used to optimize primary care, and assist the primary care clinic, in merging towards an integrated behavioral health care model.
Conclusion: Screening for depression in primary care, helps to increase access to quality health care and services. Implementing the project led to the integration of a depression screening program that will be used in the medical clinic to improve the outcomes of patients with depression. Increasing the number of patients screened for depression, will decrease the incidence of suicide among older adults, and help ensure all older adults who are at risk are identified and offered treatment.

description: Aquaculture production can yield significant economic, social, and environmental effects. These exceed the financial costs and benefits aquaculture producers are faced with. We propose a methodology for the development of integrated production models that allow for the inclusion of the socio-economic and environmental effects of aquaculture into the production management. The methodology develops on a Social Cost-Benefit Analysis context and it includes three parts: (i) environmental, that captures the interactions of aquaculture with the environment, (ii) economic, that makes provision for the incorporation of economic determinants in the production models and (iii) social, that introduces the social preferences to the production and management process. Alternatives to address data availability issues are also discussed. The methodology extends the assessment of the costs and benefits of aquaculture beyond pure financialmetrics and beyond the quantification of private costs and benefits. It can also support the development of integrated models of aquaculture production that take into consideration both the private and the social costs and benefits associated with externalities and effects not appropriately captured by market mechanisms. The methodology can support aquaculture management and policies targeting sustainable and efficient aquaculture production and financing from an economic, financial, social, and environmental point of view.

description: A multi-epoch X-ray spectral and variability analysis is conducted for the narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) active galactic nucleus (AGN) Mrk 478. All available X-ray data from XMM-Newton and Suzaku satellites, spanning from 2001 to 2017, are modelled with a variety of physical models including partial covering, soft-Comptonisation, and blurred reflection, to explain the observed spectral shape and variability over the 16 years. All models are a similar statistical fit to the data sets, though the analysis of the variability between data sets favours the blurred reflection model. In particular, the variability can be attributed to changes in flux of the primary coronal emission. Different reflection models fit the data equally well, but differ in interpretation. The use of reflionx predicts a low disc ionisation and power law dominated spectrum, while relxill predicts a highly ionised and blurred reflection dominated spectrum. A power law dominated spectrum might be more consistent with the normal X-ray-to-UV spectral shape (aox). Both blurred reflection models suggest a rapidly spinning black hole seen at a low inclination angle, and both require a sub-solar (~0.5) abundance of iron. All physical models require a narrow emission feature at 6.7 keV likely attributable to Fe xxv emission, while no evidence for a narrow 6.4 keV line from neutral iron is detected.

Using an Evidence Based Practice Informatics Guided Medication Safety Intervention To Improve Medication Safety among Community Dwelling Older Adults
Creators: name: LeBlanc, Raeann G
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2012

Medication safety and prevention of medication related problems are important issues in promoting and maintaining health and safety in one’s home for community dwelling older adults. Assessment of medications and management of a medication schedule are essential elements of medication safety, medication review, and medication care coordination. The Framework for Geriatric Homecare Excellence (Collaboration for Home Care Advances and Practices, 2009) is used as the foundation of this project to improve medication management, and promote and maintain health and safety at home. An in-home medication assessment was completed, using a medication management software informatics system to review medications, identify medication related problems, and convey this information to the Primary Care Provider, case manager, and client. Educational interventions on management and understanding of medications were provided to participants to assess and emphasize the correct use of medications and use of a personal medication record. The goal of this health promotion and health maintenance project was to improve medication safety through focused assessment and medication related education interventions for community dwelling older adults. This informatics based medication safety intervention showed considerable strength in completing and sharing medication home assessments enhanced by the software abilities. Significant outcome improvements were associated with the pre-post test comparison in provision of an up-to-date medication list and comprehension by clients of specific medication safety education.

 Remarks: This is a common flea of the meadow vole, M. pennsylvanicus, in eastern North America. Although this flea has been reported from M. ochrogaster in Illinois (Verts 1961), this is not a common association, so these are important new records. Wilson (1961), collecting from M. pennsylvanicus, makes it clear that M. asio is a nest flea, rarely found in high numbers on the body of the host. Megabothris asio was the only flea collected from voles.

description: We present a new framework for the assessment and calibration of medium range ensemble temperature forecasts. The method is based on maximising the likelihood of a simple parametric model for the temperature distribution, and leads to some new insights into the predictability of uncertainty.

description: Objective. Recent advancements in electrode designs and micro-fabrication technology has allowed existence of microelectrode arrays with hundreds of channels for single-cell recordings. In such electrophysiological recordings, each implanted micro-electrode can record the activities of more than one neuron in its vicinity. Recording the activities of multiple neurons may also be referred to as multiple unit activity. However, for any further analysis, the main goal is to isolate the activity of each recorded neuron and thus called single-unit activity. This process may also be referred to as spike sorting or spike classification. Recent approaches to extract SUA are time consuming, mainly due to the requirement of human intervention at various stages of spike sorting pipeline. Lack of standardization is another drawback of the current available approaches. Therefore, in this study we proposed a standard spike sorter: SpikeDeep-Classifier, a fully automatic spike sorting algorithm. Approach. We proposed a novel spike sorting pipeline, based on a set of supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms. We used supervised, deep learning-based algorithms for extracting meaningful channels and removing background activities (noise) from the extracted channels. We also showed that the process of clustering becomes straight-forward, once the noise/artifact is completely removed from the data. Therefore, in the next stage, we applied a simple clustering algorithm (K-mean) with predefined maximum number of clusters. Lastly, we used a similarity-based criterion to keep distinct clusters and merge similar-looking clusters. Main results. We evaluated our algorithm on a dataset collected from two different species (humans and non-human primates (NHPs)) without any retraining. We also validated our algorithm on two publicly available labeled datasets.

description: We derive short-distance constraints for the hadronic light-by-light contribution (HLbL) to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the kinematic region where the three virtual momenta are all large. We include the external soft photon via an external field leading to a well-defined Operator Product Expansion. We establish that the perturbative quark loop gives the leading contribution in a well defined expansion. We compute the first nonzero power correction. It is related to to the magnetic susceptibility of the QCD vacuum. The results can be used as model-independent short-distance constraints for the very many different approaches to the HLbL contribution. Numerically the power correction is found to be small.

Improving Patient Discharge Satisfaction Scores by Implementing Teach-Back Instructions in a Community Hospital Emergency Department (ED): A Quality Improvement Project
Creators: name: Burke, Kristen
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2018

Background: Health literacy and patient satisfaction play a role in healthcare today and it is the responsibility of all providers to ensure that patients are educated about the care they received in the ED and what they should be doing upon discharge.  The teach-back method ensures patients have a complete understanding of their ED stay and discharge instructions.   
Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to increase patient satisfaction scores by implementing the evidenced-based, patient-centered, teach-back method for all patient education opportunities. 
Methods: The DNP student led the ED leadership team and staff nurses in a quality improvement project.  The DNP student provided education on the use of teach-back and was a resource for the nurses who were expected to use the method.  Using comparative analysis the DNP student compared the frequency distribution of the pre and post-intervention survey results and the de-identified EDCAHPS patient satisfaction scores from the three months before and after implementation.   
Results/Interpretation: There was a reported 7% to 18% increase in the nurses’ familiarity, use, comfort level and perceived sustainability of teach-back in the ED.  There was an increase in the patient discharge satisfaction survey (EDCAHPS) scores of 3.96% for the five (5) questions addressing care and teaching by nurses during the ED stay and 6.525% for the four (4) questions related to the discharge process. 
Conclusion/Implications: Teach-back improved the quality of instructions provided in the ED leaving patients with the improved tools they need to care for themselves upon discharge.  There was an improvement in patient discharge satisfaction scores which could lead to improved comprehension, compliance, better outcomes and decreased ED recidivism with complaints they have already been seen for.  Teach-back was implemented as the appropriate method to use when providing patient education and discharge instructions in the ED.  It will be reviewed with all new nursing staff members and periodically reinforced by the leadership team.  Consideration will be given to providing the physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants the same instructions on how and when to use teach-back to improve the patient-centered care provided to all patients and family members in the ED.

description: A revised program for generating the spin-angular coefficients in relativistic atomic structure calculations is presented. When compared with our previous version [G.Gaigalas, S.Fritzsche and I.P.Grant, CPC 139 (2001) 263], the new version of the Anco program now provides these coefficients for both, scalar as well as non-scalar one-particle operators as they arise frequently in the study of transition probabilities, photoionization and electron capture processes, the alignment transfer through excited atomic states, collision strengths, and in many other investigations. The program is based on a recently developed formalism [G.Gaigalas, Z.Rudzikas, and C.F.Fischer, J. Phys. B 30 (1997) 3747], which combines techniques from second quantization in coupled tensorial form, the theory of quasispin, and the use of reduced coefficients of fractional parentage, in order to derive the spin-angular coefficients for complex atomic shell structures more efficiently. By making this approach now available also for non-scalar interactions, therefore, studies on a whole field of new properties and processes are likely to become possible even for atoms and ions with a complex structure.

 Remarks: This flea is primarily an ectoparasite of the pocket gopher genera, Geomys and Thomomys. Although Fox (1940) indicated that Ctenophthalmus pseudagyrtes Baker was the most common flea from gophers in the eastern United States, he noted that F. ignota was very common on these hosts in the western states. Holdenried & Morlan (1956) reported heavy infections of F. ignota on pocket gophers in northern New Mexico. McAllister et al. (2013) reported F. ignota from G. lutescens in northwestern Oklahoma. At CPBS, F. ignota was the only flea collected from G. lutescens.

description: The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) has mapped the full sky in Stokes I, Q, and U parameters at frequencies 23, 33, 41, 61, and 94 GHz. We detect correlations between the temperature and polarization maps significant at more than 10 standard deviations. The correlations are present in all WMAP frequency bands with similar amplitude from 23 to 94 GHz, and are consistent with a superposition of a CMB signal with a weak foreground. The fitted CMB component is robust against different data combinations and fitting techniques. On small angular scales theta < 5 deg, the WMAP data show the temperature-polarization correlation expected from adiabatic perturbations in the temperature power spectrum. The data for l > 20 agree well with the signal predicted solely from the temperature power spectra, with no additional free parameters. We detect excess power on large angular scales (theta > 10 deg) compared to predictions based on the temperature power spectra alone. The excess power is well described by reionization at redshift 11 < z_r < 30 at 95% confidence, depending on the ionization history. A model-independent fit to reionization optical depth yields results consistent with the best-fit LambdaCDM model, with best fit value tau = 0.17 +- 0.04 at 68% confidence, including systematic and foreground uncertainties. This value is larger than expected given the detection of a Gunn-Peterson trough in the absorption spectra of distant quasars, and implies that the universe has a complex ionization history: WMAP has detected the signal from an early epoch of reionization.
