The effectiveness of planned teaching of mothers with children treated in emergency departments

Year: 2011

description: This study concerned itself with planned teaching in the hospital emergency department, that area of the hospital health care system that is becoming increasingly popular for short-term ambulatory care. However, the nursing care provided by this department has been largely unexplored by research. The purpose of this experimental study was to determine whether planned teaching involving verbal and written instructions given to a mother prior to the discharge of her child from the emergency department following treatment for a traumatic limb fracture requiring cast application, would enable her to cope more adequately with the home care of her child than the mother not receiving this planned teaching. The Null hypothesis was tested: there is no significant difference in the coping abilities of the mothers of the experimental group as compared with the mothers of the control group. Using five general hospital emergency departments, twenty mothers were assigned to alternate experimental and control groups, with the experimental subjects receiving the planned teaching before discharge. Through home visit interviews with all subjects, the mothers' coping abilities were assessed by the number of specified care objectives they had achieved. The individual totals were ranked and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, the results of which led to the rejection of the Null hypothesis with p = .001, thus indicating a greater ability to cope by the mothers receiving the planned teaching. The total achievement scores of each objective were analyzed using the Fisher Exact Probability Test, resulting in five of the twenty objectives achieving significance at the .05 level. As four of the control subjects received routine written instructions before discharge from one hospital, the evaluation scores of these were compared with the remaining control subjects using the Mann-Whitney U test. No significant difference was found suggesting the ineffectiveness of written instructions without explanatory verbal instructions as well. Selected personal characteristics of the subjects and their children provided a description of the study population. The study's findings suggested that there is a lack of planned patient teaching in emergency departments although literature sources indicate that such teaching is necessary if patients and their families are to assume full responsibility for their own care. The study recommends that nurse practitioners be made aware of their teaching function and be encouraged to achieve competence and confidence in this function through inservice programs.

description: © 2015 The Authors. Abstract The uncinate fasciculus (UF) is a long-range white matter tract that connects limbic regions in the temporal lobe to the frontal lobe. The UF is one of the latest developing tracts, and continues maturing into the third decade of life. As such, individual differences in the maturational profile of the UF may serve to explain differences in behavior. Indeed, atypical macrostructure and microstructure of the UF have been reported in numerous studies of individuals with developmental and psychiatric disorders such as social deprivation and maltreatment, autism spectrum disorders, conduct disorder, risk taking, and substance abuse. The present review evaluates what we currently know about the UF's developmental trajectory and reviews the literature relating UF abnormalities to specific disorders. Additionally, we take a dimensional approach and critically examine symptoms and behavioral impairments that have been demonstrated to cluster with UF aberrations, in an effort to relate these impairments to our speculations regarding the functionality of the UF. We suggest that developmental disorders with core problems relating to memory retrieval, reward and valuation computation, and impulsive decision making may be linked to aberrations in uncinate microstructure.

description: The application of random-matrix theory (RMT) to compound-nucleus (CN) reactions is reviewed. An introduction into the basic concepts of nuclear scattering theory is followed by a survey of phenomenological approaches to CN scattering. The implementation of a random-matrix approach into scattering theory leads to a statistical theory of CN reactions. Since RMT applies generically to chaotic quantum systems, that theory is, at the same time, a generic theory of quantum chaotic scattering. It uses a minimum of input parameters (average S-matrix and mean level spacing of the CN). Predictions of the theory are derived with the help of field-theoretical methods adapted from condensed-matter physics and compared with those of phenomenological approaches. Thorough tests of the theory are reviewed, as are applications in nuclear physics, with special attention given to violation of symmetries (isospin, parity) and time-reversal invariance.

description: © 2015 Bentham Science Publishers. RNA-interference (RNAi) agents such as small-interfering RNA (siRNA) and micro-RNA (miRNA) have strong potential as therapeutic agents for the treatment of a broad range of diseases such as malignancies, infections, autoimmune diseases and neurological diseases that are associated with undesirable gene expression. In recent years, several clinical trials of RNAi therapeutics especially siRNAs have been conducted with limited success so far. For systemic administration of these poorly permeable and easily degradable macromolecules, it is obvious that a safe and efficient delivery platform is highly desirable. Because of high biocompatibility, biodegradability and solid track record for clinical use, nanocarriers made of lipids and/or phospholipids have been commonly employed to facilitate RNA delivery. In this article, the key features of the major sub-classes of lipid-based nanocarriers, e.g. liposomes, lipid nanoparticles and lipid nanoemulsions, will be reviewed. Focus of the discussion is on the various challenges researchers face when developing lipid-based RNA nanocarriers, such as the toxicity of cationic lipids and issues related to PEGylated lipids, as well as the strategies employed in tackling these challenges. It is hoped that by understanding more about the pros and cons of these most frequently used RNA delivery systems, the pharmaceutical scientists, biomedical researchers and clinicians will be more successful in overcoming some of the obstacles that currently limit the clinical translation of RNAi therapy.

description: We examine the properties of galaxies in compact groups identified in a mock galaxy catalogue based upon the Millennium Run simulation. The overall properties of groups identified in projection are in general agreement with the best available observational constraints. However, only ~30% of these simulated groups are found to be truly compact in 3 dimensions, suggesting that interlopers strongly affect our observed understanding of the properties of galaxies in compact groups. These simulations predict that genuine compact group galaxies are an extremely homogeneous population, confined nearly exclusively to the red sequence: they are best described as `red and dead' ellipticals. When interlopers are included, the population becomes much more heterogeneous, due to bluer, star-forming, gas-rich, late-type galaxies incorrectly identified as compact group members. These models suggest that selection of members by redshift, such that the line-of-sight velocity dispersion of the group is less than 1000 km/s, significantly reduces contamination to the 30% level. Selection of members by galaxy colour, a technique used frequently for galaxy clusters, is also predicted to dramatically reduce contamination rates for compact group studies.

Prey-field use by top predators of the Southern Ocean: understanding foraging dynamics of macaroni penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) near Heard Island
Creators: name: Bedford, M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study used data collected during the 2003/04 Heard Island Predator Prey Investigation and Ecosystem Study (HIPPIES project). It is the first study to directly compare diet, foraging, and prey-field dynamics with energetics of macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) around Heard Island. Diet and foraging dynamics were evaluated for the guard and cr‚àö¬Æche stages of breeding macaroni penguins from Heard Island. Diet changed significantly between the two stages (p < 0.005), from a diet dominated by krill (83%) in the guard stage, to a more variable diet in the cr‚àö¬Æche stage (43% krill, 33% fish, 23% amphipods). The observed change in diet corresponded with a change in foraging behaviour. During the guard stage foraging trips were short (mean = 109.1 km ¬¨¬± se 7.2 km), but became significantly (p < 0.005) longer (mean = 660 km ¬¨¬± 139.2 km) in the cr‚àö¬Æche stage. These changes lead to interesting questions regarding the relationship between diet, foraging and prey-field dynamics. The prey-field of macaroni penguins was sampled with nets and acoustic techniques, and showed that krill is available both close to the island and offshore. In contrast, fish are more abundant over deeper waters offshore. The observation that penguins choose to forage further offshore, where fish are more abundant (but the availability of krill is unchanged) suggests that macaroni penguins may prefer fish to krill. This theory was analysed by examining energy contents of prey species, and energetic requirements of breeding penguins. Energetically, fish found in the stomach samples of the macaroni penguins have a higher value than krill (8.42 kJ/g and 5.05 kJ/g respectively). This suggests that when macaroni penguins at Heard Island are limited in the distances they can forage in the guard stage, they settle for lower-energy krill as their main food source. However, in the cr‚àö¬Æche stage when they are able to forage further, they preferentially feed on food with higher energy content. By extrapolating from the energy and food requirement budgets for one breeding pair, the prey consumed for the entire study colony at Heard Island was estimated. This suggested another possibility for the observed changes between the two breeding stages; that of prey depletion. This appears to be a real possibility around the island, particularly when looking at the large number of land-based predator populations on Heard Island. Further analysis of predator diets, better estimates of available prey biomass, and species-specific energy budgets are required to confirm this suggestion.

Optimization of mapping modes for heterodyne instruments

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Astronomic line mapping with single-pixel instruments is usually performed in an on-the-fly (OTF) or a raster-mapping mode depending on the capabilities of the telescope and the instrument. The observing efficiency can be increased by combining several source-point integrations with a common reference measurement. This is implemented at many telescopes, but a thorough investigation of the optimum calibration of the modes and the best way of performing these observations is still lacking. We use knowledge of the instrumental stability obtained by an Allan variance measurement to derive a mathematical formalism for optimizing the setup of mapping observations. Special attention has to be paid to minimizing of the impact of correlated noise introduced by the common OFF integrations and to the correction of instrumental drifts. Both aspects can be covered using a calibration scheme that interpolates between two OFF measurements and an appropriate OFF integration time. The total uncertainty of the calibrated data consisting of radiometric noise and drift noise can be minimized by adjusting the source integration time and the number of data points observed between two OFF measurements. It turns out that OTF observations are very robust. They provide a low relative noise, even if their setup deviates considerably from the optimum. Fast data readouts are often essential to minimize the drift contributions. In particular, continuum measurements may be easily spoiled by instrumental drifts. The main drawback of the described mapping modes is the limited use of the measured data at different spatial or spectroscopic resolutions obtained by additional rebinning.

Fronto-temporal white matter connectivity predicts reversal learning errors

description: © 2015 Alm, Rolheiser, Mohamed and Olson. Each day, we make hundreds of decisions. In some instances, these decisions are guided by our innate needs; in other instances they are guided by memory. Probabilistic reversal learning tasks exemplify the close relationship between decision making and memory, as subjects are exposed to repeated pairings of a stimulus choice with a reward or punishment outcome. After stimulus–outcome associations have been learned, the associated reward contingencies are reversed, and participants are not immediately aware of this reversal. Individual differences in the tendency to choose the previously rewarded stimulus reveal differences in the tendency to make poorly considered, inflexible choices. Lesion studies have strongly linked reversal learning performance to the functioning of the orbitofrontal cortex, the hippocampus, and in some instances, the amygdala. Here, we asked whether individual differences in the microstructure of the uncinate fasciculus, a white matter tract that connects anterior and medial temporal lobe regions to the orbitofrontal cortex, predict reversal learning performance. Diffusion tensor imaging and behavioral paradigms were used to examine this relationship in 33 healthy young adults. The results of tractography revealed a significant negative relationship between reversal learning performance and uncinate axial diffusivity, but no such relationship was demonstrated in a control tract, the inferior longitudinal fasciculus. Our findings suggest that the uncinate might serve to integrate associations stored in the anterior and medial temporal lobes with expectations about expected value based on feedback history, computed in the orbitofrontal cortex.

description: © 2015 Hiremath, Chen, Wang, Foldes, Yang, Tyler-Kabara, Collinger and Boninger. A brain-computer interface (BCI) system transforms neural activity into control signals for external devices in real time. A BCI user needs to learn to generate specific cortical activity patterns to control external devices effectively. We call this process BCI learning, and it often requires significant effort and time. Therefore, it is important to study this process and develop novel and efficient approaches to accelerate BCI learning. This article reviews major approaches that have been used for BCI learning, including computer-assisted learning, co-adaptive learning, operant conditioning, and sensory feedback. We focus on BCIs based on electrocorticography and intracortical microelectrode arrays for restoring motor function. This article also explores the possibility of brain modulation techniques in promoting BCI learning, such as electrical cortical stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and optogenetics. Furthermore, as proposed by recent BCI studies, we suggest that BCI learning is in many ways analogous to motor and cognitive skill learning, and therefore skill learning should be a useful metaphor to model BCI learning.

description: The top quark is the heaviest elementary particle observed to date. Its large mass of about 173 GeV/c^2 makes the top quark act differently than other elementary fermions, as it decays before it hadronises, passing its spin information on to its decay products. In addition, the top quark plays an important role in higher-order loop corrections to standard model processes, which makes the top quark mass a crucial parameter for precision tests of the electroweak theory. The top quark is also a powerful probe for new phenomena beyond the standard model. During the time of discovery at the Tevatron in 1995 only a few properties of the top quark could be measured. In recent years, since the start of Tevatron Run II, the field of top-quark physics has changed and entered a precision era. This report summarises the latest measurements and studies of top-quark properties and gives prospects for future measurements at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

description: © 2015 The Authors. The educational literature generally suggests that supplemental instruction (SI) is effective in improving academic performance in traditionally difficult courses. A pilot program of peer teaching based on the SI model was implemented for an undergraduate course in human anatomy. Students in the course were stratified into three groups based on the number of peer teaching sessions they attended: nonattendees (0 sessions), infrequently attended (1-3 sessions), and frequently attended (≥ 4 sessions). After controlling for academic preparedness [i.e., admission grade point average (AGPA)] using an analysis of covariance, the final grades of frequent attendees were significantly higher than those of nonattendees (P = 0.025) and infrequent attendees (P = 0.015). A multiple regression analysis was performed to estimate the relative independent contribution of several variables in predicting the final grade. The results suggest that frequent attendance (β = 0.245, P = 0.007) and AGPA (β = 0.555, P<0.001) were significant positive predictors, while being a first-year student (β = -0.217, P = 0.006) was a significant negative predictor. Collectively, these results suggest that attending a certain number of sessions may be required to gain a noticeable benefit from the program, and that first-year students (particularly those with a lower level of academic preparedness) would likely stand to benefit from maximally using the program. End-of-semester surveys and reports indicate that the program had several additional benefits, both to the students taking the course and to the students who served as program leaders.

description: A consistent strategy for the subtraction of the divergences in the nonlinearly realized Electroweak Model in the loop expansion is presented. No Higgs field enters into the perturbative spectrum. The local functional equation (LFE), encoding the invariance of the SU(2) Haar measure under local left SU(2) transformations, the Slavnov-Taylor identity, required in order to fulfill physical unitarity, and the Landau gauge equation hold in the nonlinearly realized theory. The quantization is performed in the Landau gauge for the sake of simplicity and elegance. The constraints on the admissible interactions arising from the Weak Power-Counting (WPC) are discussed. The same symmetric pattern of the couplings as in the Standard Model is shown to arise, as a consequence of the defining functional identities and the WPC. However, two independent mass invariants in the vector meson sector are possible, i.e. no tree-level Weinberg relation holds between the Z and W mass. Majorana neutrino masses can be implemented in the nonlinearly realized Electroweak Model in a way compatible with the WPC and all the symmetries of the theory.

description: The basic protein composition of sperm, as well as the change in basic proteins during spermiogenesis, has been studied in a number of organisms, using both cytochemical and biochemical techniques. The sperm of the seven anurans studied are divided on cytochemical criteria into three of the five classes proposed by Bloch (1969). Rana palustris and R. pretiosa are of the Rana type. Xenopus laevis, Hyla versicolor, and H. regilla are of the Mytilus type while Bufo americanus and B. boreas appear to be of the Salmon type. Electrophoresis of testicular histones from representatives of these three types reveals significant differences. Testis specific components are absent in R. pipiens. In laevis, three testis specific bands, migrating between salmon protamine and the somatic histones, are present. A testis specific band migrating close to salmon protamine is found in B. americanus. The basic protein changes during spermiogenesis in the eastern red spotted newt, Diemictylus viridescens, resemble the transitions described in the snail, Helix aspera, (Bloch and Hew 1960a), the squid, Loligo opalescens (Bloch 1962) and Pleurodeles waltii (Picheral 1970). The early stages of spermiogenesis contain somatic type histones which in later spermatids are replaced by the Mouse/grasshopper type of protein. In turn, these proteins are replaced by the Salmon type of protein in the spermatozoa. Electrophoresis of testicular histones of the newt supports the cytochemical events outlined. Two testis specific bands are found. Spermiogenesis in three cartilaginous fish (dogfish, skate and ratfish) is characterized by unusual changes in basic proteins. Early spermatids contain somatic type histones. However, late spermatids contain the Salmon type of sperm histone while spermatozoa contain the Mouse/grasshopper type. Electrophoresis of testicular histones indicates that protamines are present in elasmobranch testes. However, a Mouse/grasshopper type of protein is not revealed.

description: The prevalence of HIV among U.S. inmates is much greater than in the general population, creating public health concerns and cost issues for the criminal justice system. The HIV Services and Treatment Implementation in Corrections protocol of the NIDA funded Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies cooperative tested the efficacy of an organizational process improvement strategy on improving HIV services in correctional facilities. For this paper, we analyzed efficacy of this strategy on improving inmate awareness and perceptions of HIV services. The study used a multi-site (n=28) clustered randomized trial approach. Facilities randomized to the experimental condition used a coach-driven local change team approach to improve HIV services at their facility. Facilities in the control condition were given a directive to improve HIV services on their own. Surveys about awareness and perceptions of HIV services were administered anonymously to inmates who were incarcerated in study facilities at baseline (n=1253) and follow-up (n=1048). A series of one-way ANOVAs were run to test whether there were differences between inmates in the experimental and control facilities at baseline and follow-up. Differences were observed at baseline, with the experimental group having significantly lower scores than the control group on key variables. But, at post-test, following the intervention, these differences were no longer significant. Taken in context of the findings from the main study, these results suggest that the change team approach to improving HIV services in correctional facilities is efficacious for improving inmates' awareness and perceptions of HIV services.

description: Bu çalışmanın amacı yenidoğanda bazı hastalıkların erken tanı ve tedavisi için uygulanan ve tarama testleri arasında önemli bir yer tutan topuk kanı uygulaması hakkında ebeveynlerin bilgi düzeyini belirlemek amacıyla planlanmıştır.

H1: Ebeveynlerin tarama testleri içinde bulunan topuk kanı uygulaması hakkında bilgileri yeterli değildir.

H0: Ebeveynlerin tarama testleri içinde bulunan topuk kanı uygulaması hakkında bilgileri yeterlidir.

Tarama testlerinden biri olan topuk kanı uygulaması bebekte genetik birtakım problemlerin olup olmadığını tespit etmek amacıyla bebeğin topuğundan alınan kan ile yapılan uygulamadır. Yenidoğan taraması için kan örneği, ideal olarak doğumdan sonra oral beslenmenin ardından 3.-5’inci günler arası alınmalıdır. Topuk kanının öneminin yanında doğru alınması da sonuç için oldukça önemlidir. Alınan kanın geçerli olduğundan emin olmak gereklidir. Uygulama işlemi tarama testi için bebeğin ayak topuğundan yapılan küçük bir iğne hamlesi ile bir delik açılması ve çıkan birkaç damla kanın özel olarak hazırlanmış bir filtre kağıdı (Gutrie) üzerine damlatılarak yapılmasıdır. Bu uygulama; yenidoğanların hastanede kaldığı sürede en sık uygulanan ağrılı girişimlerdendir. Yenidoğan tarama programlarının ilk hedefi yüksek oranda görülen doğumsal metabolik hastalıkların erken dönemde tanılanması ve müdahale edilmesidir. Gelişmiş ülkelere oranla ülkemizde akraba evliliklerinin ve doğum sayısının yüksek olması sonucu doğumsal metabolizma hastalıklarına daha sık rastlanmaktadır. Ülkemizde ücretsiz yenidoğan tarama programı kapsamında yer alan hastalıklar fenilketonüri (FKÜ), konjenital hipotroidi, biyotidinaz eksikliği ve kistik fibrozistir.

Ebeveynlerin, çocuklarının sağlığı ile ilişkili konularda bilgiye dayalı karar verebilme yeterliliğine kavuşturulması, yenidoğan tarama testleri ve tarama programlarına ilişkin görüşlerinin belirlenmesi, konuya ilişkin bilgilerinin artırılması ve yürütülen tarama programlarına aktif katılımlarının sağlanması sağlık profesyonellerinin öncelikli sorumlulukları arasındadır.
