description: Introduction The QALY indicator is currently the most commonly used measure of health activities effects. It is used to assess the effects of health activities in all age groups, from the youngest to the oldest. This indicator is recommended or even mandatory for use in health technology assessment procedures in many countries. One of the main advantage of QALY and the reason for such widespread use is the fact, that this indicator enables comparison of health effects even between very various activities. However, the question arises whether the results presented in QALY are really fully comparable between populations of all age? During a QALY calculation both quality of life and length of life are taken into account. In the case of older people a health status is usually lower in general and a life expectancy shorter, so is it in fact possible to use the same way of the effects assessment and compare them between younger and older population? Such assessments are often translated into priority and financing decisions and in a case of misleading evaluation may lead to discrimination against some groups of people. The main objective of this research is the review, what kind of problems and limitations of using QALY for older groups of people have been identified in the literature. Methods and analysis The scoping review will be used as a methodology of the research. This review will be conducted based on the scoping review methodological approach outlined by Peters et al. (2015). The MEDLINE via Pubmed and Scopus databases will be searched; a searching on the international organizations and associacions websites (limited to English and Polish language) for guidelines, reports and publications will be also conducted. No publications date limit will be applied. Dissemination The article based on this research is planned for publication in a peer-reviewed open access journal. Ethics The primary data will not be used in this study, so a formal ethical approval is not required.

description: Home-based high intensity interval training (HIIT) causes improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness similar to the benefits of HIIT performed in a lab setting. While home-based HIIT is known to cause significant improvements in fitness, it’s unclear if at-home exercise testing will allow us to detect these improvements in fitness. Participants will be randomized to either a 4-week control period or a 4-week home-based HIIT intervention, which is performed 4 times per week. Each session will consist of eight 20s intervals of one of four exercises (burpees, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, and squat jumps). Participants will complete fitness testing before and after the control or training period. Fitness testing and exercise training will be performed at the participant’s home and will be virtually supervised. We hypothesize that with remotely conducted testing, such as bodyweight exercise testing and the step test, significant improvements in fitness can be detected. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that significant improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness caused by at-home HIIT can be effectively measured remotely. This study helps identify the effectiveness of remote training programs which are necessary during the global COVID-19 pandemic in order to maintain and improve cardiovascular fitness.

description: Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is often asymptomatic and only a small portion of BE patients are currently diagnosed and under surveillance. Therefore, it is important to develop risk prediction models to identify high-risk individuals with BE. Familial aggregation of BE and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and the increased risk of EAC for individuals with a family history, raise the necessity of including genetic factors in the prediction model. Methods to determine risk prediction models using both risk covariates and ascertained family data are not well-developed.

description: We theoretically investigate the quantum uncertainty in the beam width of transverse optical modes and, for this purpose, define a corresponding quantum operator. Single mode states are studied as well as multimode states with small quantum noise. General relations are derived, and specific examples of different modes and quantum states are examined. For the multimode case, we show that the quantum uncertainty in the beam width can be completely attributed to the amplitude quadrature uncertainty of one specific mode, which is uniquely determined by the field under investigation. This discovery provides us with a strategy for the reduction of the beam width noise by an appropriate choice of the quantum state.

description: Although statin use has been associated with reduced prostate cancer aggressiveness, the impact of race and patient characteristics on this association is not well understood. We examined the association between statin use and prostate cancer aggressiveness in Caucasians (CA) and African Americans (AA) and explored effect modification by health-seeking behaviors associated with statin use. Of 1,930 cases from The North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project, 344 (18%) were classified as aggressive based on clinical criteria. Utilizing nonaggressive cases as referent, logistic regression was used to examine the association between statin use and prostate cancer aggressiveness, overall and stratified by race. Smoking and prostate cancer screening were examined as effect modifiers of this association. There was an inverse association between statin use and prostate cancer aggressiveness [OR, 0.74; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.56-0.96], with comparable effect estimates in both races. Although not statistically significant, statin use was associated with reduced ORs for aggressive prostate cancer in never-screened men (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.45-1.39), men screened at low/recommended frequency (≤once/year; OR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.41-1.06), and men screened at high frequency (>once/year; OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.53-1.15). Inverse associations between statins and aggressive prostate cancer were strongest in never smokers (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.25-0.72), attenuated in former smokers (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.59-1.19), and absent in current smokers (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 0.70-2.64). Statin use was associated with reduced prostate cancer aggressiveness in CA and AAs, with strongest inverse associations in nonsmokers. Health-seeking behaviors associated with statin use should be considered when examining the impact of statins on prostate cancer aggressiveness.

description: The electronic properties of Fe-based superconductors are drastically affected by deformations on their crystal structure introduced by doping and pressure. Here we study single crystals of FeSe 1 − x Sx and reveal that local crystal deformations such as atomic-scale defects impact the spectral shape of the electronic core level states of the material. By means of scanning tunneling microscopy we image S-doping induced defects as well as diluted dumbbell defects associated with Fe vacancies. We have access to the electronic structure of the samples by means of x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and show that the spectral shape of the Se core levels can only be adequately described by considering a principal plus a minor component of the electronic states. We find this result for both pure and S-doped samples, irrespective that in the latter case the material presents extra crystal defects associated to doping with S atoms. We argue that the second component in our XPS spectra is associated with the ubiquitous dumbbell defects in FeSe that are known to entail a significant modification of the electronic clouds of surrounding atoms.

description: Our study aimed to map functioning and contextual factors among community-dwelling stroke survivors after first stroke, based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and to explore if these factors differ among older-old (75 years and older), younger-old (65–74 years), and young (18–65 years) stroke survivors. Methods A cross-sectional population-based national survey among community-dwelling stroke survivors, 1–2 years after their first stroke. Potential participants were approached through hospital registries. The survey had 56.2% response rate. Participants (N = 114, 50% men), 27 to 94 years old (71.6±12.9 years), were categorized as: older-old (n = 51), younger-old (n = 34) and young (n = 29). They answered questions on health, functioning and contextual factors, the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) and the Behavioural Regulation Exercise Questionnaire 2. Descriptive analysis was used, along with analysis of variance for continuous data and Fisher´s exact tests for categorical variables. TukeyHSD, was used for comparing possible age-group pairings. Results The responses reflected ICF´s personal and environmental factors as well as body function, activities, and participation. Comparisons between age-groups revealed that the oldest participants reported more anxiety and depression and used more walking devices and fewer smart devices than individuals in both the younger-old and young groups. In the SIS, the oldest participants had ion has good access to smart devices which can be used in community integration. Moreover, our results support the need for analysis in subgroups of age among the heterogenous group of older individuals in this population.

description: We present a detailed study of the finite one-dimensional quantum Ising chain in a transverse field in the presence of boundary magnetic fields coupled with the order-parameter spin operator. We consider two magnetic fields located at the boundaries of the chain that have the same strength and that are aligned in the same or in the opposite direction. We derive analytic expressions for the gap in all phases for large values of the chain length L, as a function of the boundary field strength. We also investigate the behavior of the chain in the quantum ferromagnetic phase for oppositely aligned fields, focusing on the magnet-to-kink transition that occurs at a finite value of the magnetic field strength. At this transition we compute analytically the finite-size crossover functions for the gap, the magnetization profile, the two-point correlation function, and the density of fermionic modes. As the magnet-to-kink transition is equivalent to the wetting transition in two-dimensional classical Ising models, our results provide new analytic predictions for the finite-size behavior of Ising systems in a strip geometry at this transition.

description: Here, we preregister a second follow-up study to test a potential explanation for the null results observed in the previous two studies. Because the stimuli used in the previous studies were composed of both an image (which was not manipulated) and text (which was manipulated), it is possible that participants focused on the image and paid less attention to the text. If this was the case, we may have failed to observe effects of the experimental manipulation because the text intervention was overshadowed by the image. To test this possibility, we will conduct a second within-person study using new stimuli.
Optimality of Rate Balancing in Wireless Sensor Networks

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)

description: We consider the problem of distributed binary hypothesis testing in a parallel network topology where sensors independently observe some phenomenon and send a finite rate summary of their observations to a fusion center for the final decision. We explicitly consider a scenario under which (integer) rate messages are sent over an error free multiple access channel, modeled by a sum rate constraint at the fusion center. This problem was previously studied by Chamberland and Veeravalli, who provided sufficient conditions for the optimality of one bit sensor messages. Their result is however crucially dependent on the feasibility of having as many one bit sensors as the (integer) sum rate constraint of the multiple access channel, an assumption that can often not be satisfied in practice. This prompts us to consider the case of an a-priori limited number of sensors and we provide sufficient condition under which having no two sensors with rate difference more than one bit, so called rate balancing, is an optimal strategy with respect to the Bhattacharyya distance between the hypotheses at the input to the fusion center. We further discuss explicit observation models under which these sufficient conditions are satisfied.

description: The relationship between carrier envelope phase (CEP) slip of cavity soliton (CS) and pump phase detuning is derived analytically and numerically. To preserve the stability of CS, CEP slip always equals to the pump phase detuning. When CEP slip fails to follow the pump phase detuning, CS becomes unstable. The locking between CEP slip and pump phase detuning results in a scaling law for CS.

This meta-analysis will assess, examine, and model the consistency of harmonic priming effects and improve understanding of moderator variables, boundary conditions, and transferability by combining and summarizing the existing literature.

description: Background: Genome-wide association studies have identified approximately 100 common genetic variants associated with breast cancer risk, the majority of which were discovered in women of European ancestry. Because of different patterns of linkage disequilibrium, many of these genetic markers may not represent signals in populations of African ancestry. Methods: We tested 74 breast cancer risk variants and conducted fine-mapping of these susceptibility regions in 6,522 breast cancer cases and 7,643 controls of African ancestry from three genetic consortia (AABC, AMBER, and ROOT). Results: Fifty-four of the 74 variants (73%) were found to have ORs that were directionally consistent with those previously reported, of which 12 were nominally statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Through fine-mapping, in six regions ( 3p24, 12p11, 14q13, 16q12/FTO, 16q23, 19p13 ), we observed seven markers that better represent the underlying risk variant for overall breast cancer or breast cancer subtypes, whereas in another two regions ( 11q13, 16q12/TOX3 ), we identified suggestive evidence of signals that are independent of the reported index variant. Overlapping chromatin features and regulatory elements suggest that many of the risk alleles lie in regions with biological functionality. Conclusions: Through fine-mapping of known susceptibility regions, we have revealed alleles that better characterize breast cancer risk in women of African ancestry. Impact: The risk alleles identified represent genetic markers for modeling and stratifying breast cancer risk in women of African ancestry. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 26(7); 1-11. ©2017 AACR.

description: Magon A, Arrigoni C, Durante A, Falchi C, Dellafiore F, Stievano A, Caruso R. Barriers to self-monitoring implementation in the oral anticoagulated population: A qualitative study. Int J Nurs Pract. 2022 Aug 15:e13095. doi: 10.1111/ijn.13095. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 35971277. Abstract Aim: This study aimed to explore and understand the barriers perceived by Italian nurses to adopting self-monitoring for managing oral anticoagulation in real-life settings. Background: Barriers to self-monitoring implementation for managing oral anticoagulation have been poorly described. Design: The study had a qualitative descriptive and exploratory design with a hybrid approach. Methods: A literature review was conducted to identify a priori barriers (deductive approach), while a small and semi-structured focus group discussion was performed to explore the contextual barriers experienced by Italian nurses (inductive approach). A classic content analysis technique was adopted. Data were collected in 2019. Findings: Two main categories were identified. Organizational barriers referred to the lack of inter-professional collaboration and health-care system strategies to provide clinical pathways for self-monitoring. Individual barriers encompassed professional characteristics (e.g. university background, professional knowledge, continuum education and accountability/responsibility) and patient characteristics (e.g. patient health literacy and knowledge, engagement/empowerment and educational programmes). Finally, unwarranted clinical variation in oral anticoagulation management arose as a barrier determined by organizational and individual elements. Conclusions: The results of this study pointed out an urgent public health issue in addressing barriers influencing self-monitoring practice and in sustaining care models that might enhance the quality improvement of self-monitoring for managing oral anticoagulation.

Melting of three-sublattice order in easy-axis antiferromagnets on triangular and Kagome lattices

description: When the constituent spins have an energetic preference to lie along an easy-axis, triangular and Kagome lattice antiferromagnets often develop long-range order that distinguishes the three sublattices of the underlying triangular Bravais lattice. In zero magnetic field, this three-sublattice order melts {\em either} in a two-step manner, {\em i.e.} via an intermediate phase with power-law three-sublattice order controlled by a temperature dependent exponent $η(T) \in (\frac{1}{9},\frac{1}{4})$, {\em or} via a transition in the three-state Potts universality class. Here, I predict that the uniform susceptibility to a small easy-axis field $B$ diverges as $χ(B) \sim |B|^{-\frac{4 - 18 η}{4-9η}}$ in a large part of the intermediate power-law ordered phase (corresponding to $η(T) \in (\frac{1}{9},\frac{2}{9})$), providing an easy-to-measure thermodynamic signature of two-step melting. I also show that these two melting scenarios can be generically connected via an intervening multicritical point, and obtain numerical estimates of multicritical exponents.

The Obesity Paradox in Cancer—Moving Beyond BMI

description: Body mass index (BMI) and simple counts of weight are easy and available tools in the clinic and in research. Recent studies have shown that cancer patients with low-normal BMI (or those with weight loss) have worse outcomes than obese patients. These results suggest that obesity has a protective effect and has been termed the ‘obesity paradox’. In this commentary, we discuss hypothetical explanations and take a step beyond BMI or simple weights alone to present other useful and more specific body composition metrics such as muscle tissue mass, visceral, and subcutaneous fat mass. Body composition is highly variable between individuals with significant differences seen between various races and ages. Therefore, it is critical to consider that patients with the exact same BMI can have significantly different body compositions and different outcomes. We encourage further studies to examine body composition beyond BMI and to use other body composition metrics to develop individualized treatments and intervention strategies.
