title: NGO statt Staat
Creators: name: Rechinger, Lilian
Year: 2010

description: Die basismedizinische Versorgung im Hochland von Mindanao in den Philippinen wird seit über zwanzig Jahren von einer deutschen Nichtregierungsorganisation durchgeführt. Warum diese an sich in den Aufgabenbereich des Staates fallende Aufgabe von einem Hilfswerk übernommen wurde, wird aus historischer und gegenwärtiger Perspektive untersucht. Die Rolle der Ngos im medizinischen Bereich wird am Beispiel der „ Ärzte für die Dritte Welt“ in Mindanao beleuchtet. Im Laufe eines mehrwöchigen Arbeitsaufenthalts als Ärztin für diese Organisation im Frühjahr 2009 hat die Verfasserin einen interdisziplinären Erfahrungsbericht erstellt. Neben der Beschreibung des Arbeitsfeldes wurden Daten bezüglich der Infrastruktur der besuchten Gebiete erhoben sowie eine Analyse der Erkrankungen im sozioökonomischen Kontext durchgeführt. Die theoretischen Möglichkeiten für eine positive Veränderung der gesundheitlichen und sozialen Situation durch Maßnahmen der Primärprävention und strukturelle Veränderungen durch staatliche Institutionen und damit die Übernahme der Agenden der NGO werden dargestellt.

description: © 2020 Journal of Medical Internet Research. All rights reserved. Background: Almost half (46%) of Americans have used a smart assistant of some kind (eg, Apple Siri), and 25% have used a stand-alone smart assistant (eg, Amazon Echo). This positions smart assistants as potentially useful modalities for retrieving health-related information; however, the accuracy of smart assistant responses lacks rigorous evaluation. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the levels of accuracy, misinformation, and sentiment in smart assistant responses to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination-related questions. Methods: We systematically examined responses to questions about the HPV vaccine from the following four most popular smart assistants: Apple Siri, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Microsoft Cortana. One team member posed 10 questions to each smart assistant and recorded all queries and responses. Two raters independently coded all responses (κ=0.85). We then assessed differences among the smart assistants in terms of response accuracy, presence of misinformation, and sentiment regarding the HPV vaccine. Results: A total of 103 responses were obtained from the 10 questions posed across the smart assistants. Google Assistant data were excluded owing to nonresponse. Over half (n=63, 61%) of the responses of the remaining three smart assistants were accurate. We found statistically significant differences across the smart assistants (N=103, ξ22=7.807, P=.02), with Cortana yielding the greatest proportion of misinformation. Siri yielded the greatest proportion of accurate responses (n=26, 72%), whereas Cortana yielded the lowest proportion of accurate responses (n=33, 54%). Most response sentiments across smart assistants were positive (n=65, 64%) or neutral (n=18, 18%), but Cortana's responses yielded the largest proportion of negative sentiment (n=7, 12%). Conclusions: Smart assistants appear to be average-quality sources for HPV vaccination information, with Alexa responding most reliably. Cortana returned the largest proportion of inaccurate responses, the most misinformation, and the greatest proportion of results with negative sentiments. More collaboration between technology companies and public health entities is necessary to improve the retrieval of accurate health information via smart assistants.

description: © 2020 The Author(s). Background: Observational series suggest a mortality benefit from metformin in the heart failure (HF) population. However, the benefit of metformin in HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has yet to be explored. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify whether variation in EF impacts mortality outcomes in HF patients treated with metformin. Methods: MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched up to October 2019. Observational studies and randomised trials reporting mortality in HF patients and the proportion of patients with an EF > 50% at baseline were included. Other baseline variables were used to assess for heterogeneity in treatment outcomes between groups. Regression models were used to determine the interaction between metformin and subgroups on mortality. Results: Four studies reported the proportion of patients with a preserved EF and were analysed. Metformin reduced mortality in both preserved or reduced EF after adjustment with HF therapies such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and beta-blockers (β = - 0.2 [95% CI - 0.3 to - 0.1], p = 0.02). Significantly greater protective effects were seen with EF > 50% (p = 0.003). Metformin treatment with insulin, ACEi and beta-blocker therapy were also shown to have a reduction in mortality (insulin p = 0.002; ACEi p < 0.001; beta-blocker p = 0.017), whereas female gender was associated with worse outcomes (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Metformin treatment is associated with a reduction in mortality in patients with HFpEF.

description: Background: Surveillance data indicate that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people are more likely than their non-Indigenous counterparts to experience sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and teenage pregnancy. Despite increasing emphasis on the need for strengths-based approaches to Aboriginal sexual health, limited published data document how young Aboriginal people reduce sexual health risks encountered in their everyday lives. Methods: In-depth interviews with 35 young Aboriginal women and men aged 16-21 years in two remote Australian settings were conducted; inductive thematic analysis examining sexual health risk reduction practices was also conducted. Results: Participants reported individual and collective STI and pregnancy risk reduction strategies. Individual practices included accessing and carrying condoms; having a regular casual sexual partner; being in a long-term trusting relationship; using long-acting reversible contraception; having fewer sexual partners; abstaining from sex; accessing STI testing. More collective strategies included: refusing sex without a condom; accompanied health clinic visits with a trusted individual; encouraging friends to use condoms and go for STI testing; providing friends with condoms. Conclusion: Findings broaden understanding of young Aboriginal people's sexual health risk reduction strategies in remote Aboriginal communities. Findings signal the need for multisectoral STI prevention and sexual health programs driven by young people's existing harm minimisation strategies and cultural models of collective support. Specific strategies to enhance young people's sexual health include: peer condom distribution; accompanied health service visits; peer-led health promotion; continued community-based condom distribution; enhanced access to a fuller range of available contraception in primary care settings; engaging health service-experienced young people as 'youth health workers'.
A novel simultaneous quantification method for fat-soluble vitamins using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for clinical applications
Creators: name: Al Bahrani, Ali Abdulkarem A
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The accurate and precise quantification of fat-soluble vitamins (FSVs), specifically vitamins A, D and E, has proved to be a challenge for clinical laboratories. This challenge is partially the result of the nature of FSV molecules and the limitations in techniques commonly used in their analysis. Consequently, there is a variation in the results obtained through different techniques or by different clinical laboratories. As a result, it has been difficult to reach agreement on the recommended levels or reference intervals of these vitamins. The current project encompassed the development of a state-of-the-art analytical method for the analysis of vitamins A (retinol), D (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-OHD]) and E (α-tocopherol) in blood using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), which is a highly sensitive and specific quantification technique. Four studies were then performed to explore several scientific knowledge gaps related to vitamin measurement using the developed FSV quantification methods.

The Current translational clinical research introduced novel and precise simultaneous measurement methods for blood FSV analytes, which were applicability to clinical sampling trials. This thesis also provides the first study exploring the stability FSVs simultaneously in routine sample spectrum utilising a precise LC-MS/MS method. In addition, stability of each analytes is justified based on calculation of the acceptable clinical limits, which reflect biological variation as well as method imprecision. This project also highlighted problematic issue related to trueness and reliable traceability of commercial calibrators to high order references and that interrupts effort of method harmonisation and patient result comparability. Furthermore, the current thesis provides with first study validated the measurement of 25-OHD3 and retinol in UCB diluted plasma. Lastly, this thesis reports the first study exploring status of five FSV analytes in two Australian populations at different latitudes using simultaneous measurement LC-MS/MS method. Furthermore, this is the first work examined the correlation between the blood FSV levels in two Australian populations.

description: Context: As the number of transgender (trans) people (including those who are binary and/or nonbinary identified) seeking gender-affirming hormone therapy rises, endocrinologists are increasingly asked to assist with interpretation of laboratory tests. Many common laboratory tests such as hemoglobin, iron studies, cardiac troponin, and creatinine are affected by sex steroids or body size. We seek to provide a summary of the impact of feminizing and masculinizing hormone therapy on common laboratory tests and an approach to interpretation. Cases: Case scenarios discussed include 1) hemoglobin and hematocrit in a nonbinary person undergoing masculinizing hormone therapy; 2) estimation of glomerular filtration rate in a trans woman at risk of contrast-induced nephropathy; 3) prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in a trans woman; and 4) chest pain in a trans man with a cardiac troponin concentration between the reported male and female reference ranges. Conclusions: The influence of exogenous gender-affirming hormone therapy on fat and muscle distribution and other physiological changes determines interpretation of laboratory tests that have sexspecific differences. In addition to affirmative practice to ensure a patient's name, gender, and pronoun are used appropriately, we propose that once individuals have commenced gender-affirming hormone therapy, the reference range of the affirmed gender be reported (and specified by treating clinicians) except for PSA or cardiac troponin, which are dependent on organ size. While suggestions may be challenging to implement, they also represent an opportunity to lead best practice to improve the quality of care and experiences of healthcare for all trans people.

description: © 2020 O’Sullivan et al. Pandemic situations present enormous risks to essential rural primary healthcare (PHC) teams and the communities they serve. Yet, the pandemic policy development for rural contexts remains poorly defined. This article draws on reflections of the rural PHC response during the COVID-19 pandemic around three elements: risk, resilience, and response. Rural communities have nuanced risks related to their mobility and interaction patterns coupled with heightened population needs, socio-economic disadvantage, and access and health service infrastructure challenges. This requires specific risk assessment and communication which addresses the local context. Pandemic resilience relies on qualified and stable PHC teams using flexible responses and resources to enable streams of pandemic-related healthcare alongside ongoing primary healthcare. This depends on problem solving within limited resources and using networks and collaborations to enable healthcare for populations spread over large geographic catchments. PHC teams must secure systems for patient retrieval and managing equipment and resources including providing for situations where supply chains may fail and staff need rest. Response consists of rural PHC teams adopting new preventative clinics, screening and ambulatory models to protect health workers from exposure whilst maximizing population screening and continuity of healthcare for vulnerable groups. Innovative models that emerge during pandemics, including telehealth clinics, may bear specific evaluation for informing ongoing rural health system capabilities and patient access. It is imperative that mainstream pandemic policies recognize the nuance of rural settings and address resourcing and support strategies to each level of rural risk, resilience, and response for a strong health system ready for surge events.

Background: Lateral ankle sprains are common in indoor sports. High shoe-surface friction is considered a risk factor for non-contact lateral ankle sprains. Spraino is a novel low-friction patch that can be attached to the outside of sports shoes to minimise friction at the lateral edge, which could mitigate the risk of such injury. We aimed to determine preliminary effectiveness (incidence rate and severity) and safety (harms) of Spraino to prevent lateral ankle sprains among indoor sport athletes. Methods: In this exploratory, parallel-group, two-arm pilot randomised controlled trial, 510 subelite indoor sport athletes with a previous lateral ankle sprain were randomly allocated (1:1) to Spraino or 'do-as-usual'. Allocation was concealed and the trial was outcome assessor blinded. Match and training exposure, number of injuries and associated time loss were captured weekly via text messages. Information on harms, fear-of-injury and ankle pain was also documented. Results: 480 participants completed the trial. They reported a total of 151 lateral ankle sprains, of which 96 were categorised as non-contact, and 50 as severe. All outcomes favoured Spraino with incidence rate ratios of 0.87 (95% CI 0.62 to 1.23) for all lateral ankle sprains; 0.64 (95% CI 0.42 to 0.98) for non-contact lateral ankle sprains; and 0.47 (95% CI 0.25 to 0.88) for severe lateral ankle sprains. Time loss per injury was also lower in the Spraino group (1.8 vs 2.8 weeks, p=0.014). Six participants reported minor harms because of Spraino. Conclusion: Compared with usual care, athletes allocated to Spraino had a lower risk of lateral ankle sprains and less time loss, with only few reported minor harms.

description: Copyright 2020 The Authors iovs.arvojournals.org. PURPOSE. To evaluate the short-term changes in inner retinal function using the photopic negative response (PhNR) after intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in glaucoma. METHODS. Forty-seven participants with glaucoma who were commencing a new or additional IOP-lowering therapy (treatment group) and 39 participants with stable glaucoma (control group) were recruited. IOP, visual field, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and electroretinograms (ERGs) were recorded at baseline and at a follow-up visit (3 ± 2 months). An optimized protocol developed for a portable ERG device was used to record the PhNR. The PhNR saturated amplitude (Vmax), Vmax ratio, semi-saturation constant (K), and slope of the Naka–Rushton function were analyzed. RESULTS. A significant percentage reduction in IOP was observed in the treatment group (28 ± 3%) compared to the control group (2 ± 3%; P < 0.0001). For PhNR Vmax, there was no significant interaction (F1,83 = 2.099, P = 0.15), but there was a significant difference between the two time points (F1,83 = 5.689, P = 0.019). Post hoc analysis showed a significant difference between baseline and 3 months in the treatment group (mean difference, 1.23 μV; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.24–2.22) but not in the control group (0.30 μV; 95% CI, 0.78–1.38). K and slope were not significantly different in either group. Improvement beyond test–retest variability was seen in 17% of participants in the treatment group compared to 3% in the control group (P = 0.007, χ2 test). CONCLUSIONS. The optimized protocol for measuring the PhNR detected short-term improvements in a proportion of participants following IOP reduction, although the majority showed no change.

description: Die Diplomarbeit handelt von Kinderarbeit in Afrika. Zu Beginn der Arbeit wird auf die Konventionen der ILO (International Labour Organization), UN und der ACRWC (African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child) eingegangen. Diese beschäftigen sich mit den Definitionen der Begriffe ‚Kinderarbeit’ und ‚Kind’ und führen an, von welchen Gefahren Kinder bewahrt werden müssen. Anschließend wird ein Überblick über das gegenwärtige Ausmaß der Kinderarbeit in der Welt und speziell in Afrika geboten. Das Hauptaugenmerk der Arbeit liegt in der Beschreibung der unterschiedlichen Arbeiten, die von Kindern in Afrika ausgeführt werden. Es wird unterschieden zwischen Kinderarbeit im (Kontext der Hausarbeit) und rund um den Haushalt, in der Landwirtschaft und in diversen anderen Bereichen. In einem weiteren Kapitel wird auf die ‚schlimmsten’ Formen von Kinderarbeit eingegangen. Nach der Erklärung der unterschiedlichen Arten von Kinderarbeit in Afrika, werden die Ursachen genannt, warum es Kinderarbeit gibt. Die fehlende Umsetzung der einzelnen Konventionen in Bezug auf Kinderarbeit, Armut, Urbanisierung und die mangelnde Schulbildung werden hier als Gründe näher ausgeführt. Zum Schluss werden die Folgen von Kinderarbeit dargestellt. Es werden physische und psychische Auswirkungen beschrieben und es wird auf die fehlende Schulbildung der Kinder eingegangen.

 Genetic data. CO1; see Table 1.
 Remarks. Originally described from off South Africa (off Natal), M. babai has subsequently been reported from shelf depths across the Indian Ocean as far east as Hong Kong (Baba, 1988). It can be distinguished by the presence of spines on the anterior margin of abdominal somite 4 and very short supraocular spines. As noted by Baba (1988), the number of spines on the abdominal somites is variable. We found abdominal somite 2 with 5–9 spines, somite 3 with 2–5, and somite 4 with 2–5 spines. The P2 dactylus is 0.75 the length of the propodus in Australian specimens compared to 0.64 for the type (based on Tirmizi and Javed, 1976: fig. 2D), and 0.84 for the Albatross material from Hong Kong and the Phillipines (Baba, 1988). This is the first record of the species from Australia.
 Distribution. South Africa, Madagascar, Hong Kong, Malaysia, 70– 456 m. Western Australia, 100– 177 m.

description: Summary The Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) offers the possibility, to rate the efficiency of a booster station by taking a load profile into account. Besides the quality of the used single machines, the EEI is massively depending of the applied operational strategy. For most operational points different numbers of pumps are able to cover the actual load, but for only one of these scenarios the energy consumption becomes minimal. This paper presents an approach for calculating the maximal attainable EEI for booster stations from the characteristics of the machines. Only the data of the single pump unit within the booster station is needed to calculate the EEI of an optimally operated booster station. The result of the optimization program is the optimal operational setting for every point of the load profile and thus the best achievable EEI. Furthermore we use this approach to make proposals for possible improvements for the control and topology of booster stations.

description: © The Author(s) 2020. Social media have been central in informing people about the COVID-19 pandemic. They influence the ways in which information is perceived, communicated and shared online, especially with physical distancing measures in place. While these technologies have given people the opportunity to contribute to public discussions about COVID-19, the narratives disseminated on social media have also been characterised by uncertainty, disagreement, false and misleading advice. Global technology companies have responded to these concerns by introducing new content moderation policies based on the concept of harm to tackle the spread of misinformation and disinformation online. In this essay, we examine some of the key challenges in implementing these policies in real time and at scale, calling for more transparent and nuanced content moderation strategies to increase public trust and the quality of information about the pandemic consumed online.

 Botanische Zeitung (Berlin) 15: 778 (1857).
 TYPE. — New Caledonia. “Île des Pins”, Cuming s.n. (lecto-, H-BR [designated by Vitt & Ramsay, 1985]; isolecto-, PC [PC 0096548]!).
ILLUSTRATIONS AND DESCRIPTION. — Vitt & Ramsay (1985a).
 DISTRIBUTION IN NEW CALEDONIA. — Macromitrium brachypodium is very rare, with only one report in South Province (type locality,Île des Pins) and one in North Province, in a very disturbed environment. Due to the scarcity of the data, its ecological range in New Caledonia remains unknown.
TOTAL RANGE. — New Caledonia and Lord Howe Island. Its occurrence in mainland Australia must be confirmed according to Vitt & Ramsay (2006).
 SELECTED SPECIMEN. — New Caledonia. Province Nord, Koumac, Tiebaghi ultramafic massif, on bark in small remnant of the moist forest amongst scrubland, in the vicinity of a former mining village, 28.IX.2008, Thouvenot NC288 (PC).   DESCRIPTION
 Pseudautoicous. Macromitrium brachypodium may be identified by: 1) small size of branches, less than 6 mm long, 0.8-1 mm wide; 2) branch leaves when dry erect to oblique, individually twisted, the incurved apices exposed by the margins, when wet patent to spreading, slightly sigmoid; 3) branch leaves 1.5-2.5 mm long, ligulate, obtuse to short acute, mucronate; 4) upper cells rounded, 6-8 µm, bulging, thick-walled, with c. 4 small rounded papillae; 5) basal part of leaves undifferentiated, with a few short rectangular lower cells, smooth; 6) perichaetial leaves longer than the vegetative ones, 3.5 mm long or more; 7) vaginulae naked; 8) calyptrae hairy; 9) setae very short, 1-1.5 mm long; and 10) capsules oblong, 1-1.3 mm long, smooth, rims erect, not plicate, peristomes single. It could be confused with other small species with little differentiated basal part. For differences with M. brevicaule and M. aurescens, see under the latter.
 Macromitrium francii and M. pilosum have longer branches, smaller leaves with papillose basal cells, vaginulae with conspicuous long hairs and capsule mouth plicate.
 In addition, Macromitrium orthostichum calyptrae have bristly hairs. See discussion in the paragraph dealing with the Francii group.

description: © Copyright © 2020 Maharaj, Kessler, Rainbow, D’Andrea, Konow, Kelly and Lichtwark. The intricate motion of the small bones of the feet are critical for its diverse function. Accurately measuring the 3-dimensional (3D) motion of these bones has attracted much attention over the years and until recently, was limited to invasive techniques or quantification of functional segments using multi-segment foot models. Biplanar videoradiography and model-based scientific rotoscoping offers an exciting alternative that allows us to focus on the intricate motion of individual bones in the foot. However, scientific rotoscoping, the process of rotating and translating a 3D bone model so that it aligns with the captured x-ray images, is either semi- or completely manual and it is unknown how much human error affects tracking results. Thus, the aim of this study was to quantify the inter- and intra-operator reliability of manually rotoscoping in vivo bone motion of the tibia, talus, and calcaneus during running. Three-dimensional CT bone volumes and high-speed biplanar videoradiography images of the foot were acquired on six participants. The six-degree-of-freedom motions of the tibia, talus, and calcaneus were determined using a manual markerless registration algorithm. Two operators performed the tracking, and additionally, the first operator re-tracked all bones, to test for intra-operator effects. Mean RMS errors were 1.86 mm and 1.90° for intra-operator comparisons and 2.30 mm and 2.60° for inter-operator comparisons across all bones and planes. The moderate to strong similarity values indicate that tracking bones and joint kinematics between sessions and operators is reliable for running. These errors are likely acceptable for defining gross joint angles. However, this magnitude of error may limit the capacity to perform advanced analyses of joint interactions, particularly those that require precise (sub-millimeter) estimates of bone position and orientation. Optimizing the view and image quality of the biplanar videoradiography system as well as the automated tracking algorithms for rotoscoping bones in the foot are required to reduce these errors and the time burden associated with the manual processing.

description: Meine Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit Beendigung von Dienstverhältnissen überlassener Arbeitskräfte. Im ersten Teil der Dissertation habe ich mich mit der historischen Entwicklung sowie mit allgemeinen Grundlagen der Arbeitskräfteüberlassung befasst. In den weiteren Teilen habe ich mich den einzelnen Beendigungsformen allgemein sowie mit den spezifischen rechtlichen Regelungen der Arbeitskräfteüberlassung auseinandergesetzt. Ein 5. Teil beschäftigt sich mit speziellen Problemen bei der Beendigung des Dienstverhältnisses. Die Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Thema hat gezeigt, dass überlassene Arbeitskräfte - trotz des generell schlechten Rufes der Arbeitskräfteüberlassung - bei der Beendigung des Dienstverhältnisses nicht benachteiligt sind.

 In Sicily considered as near-threatened taxon (Campisi et al. 2003); on Malta, however, it seems not to be rare and producing regularly sporophytes. Sommier & Caruana Gatto (1915) reported it from a single locality and considered it to be a rare species, Lanfranco (1989) considered it “not rare in the Maltese islands”.
