title: Factors Influencing the Use of Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive Method Among Women Attending Family Planning Service in Dessie town, North East Ethiopia

description: <b>Background</b>: In Ethiopia, the total fertility rate and unmet need for family planning are high. In this country, the contraceptive prevalence rate remains low. A routine health service provides majorly short acting contraceptives. Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC), despite its several advantages over short acting ones, does slimly constitute the contraceptives coverage. Several researches showed the benefits of LARC, yet in some countries including Ethiopia, the reasons for low use of the method is not well understood. This study aimed at assessing factors affecting the use of LARCs among women of reproductive years attending family planning service in health facilities of Dessie town, North East Ethiopia. <b> </b> <b>Methodology:</b> a facility based cross sectional study using quantitative technique was done on 422 women at six family planning service delivery points in Diessie Town, during the month of January, 2014. A face-to-face interview using a structured questionnaire adapted from relevant researches has been used to generate quantitative data. Both univeraiate and bi-variate analysis was done and OR with the respective 95 % CI is used to show the outcome of the analysis.

title: A multicenter, non-interventional study to evaluate patient-reported experiences of living with psoriasis

description: <i>Background</i>: Moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (with or without psoriatic arthritis) places significant burden on patients’ lives. <i>Objective</i>: Explore and document patients’ experiences of living with psoriasis, including symptoms, treatments, impact on daily lives and patient-reported functioning. <i>Methods</i>: In a US-based, non-interventional study, narrative interviews were conducted at baseline and again within 16 weeks. In interviews, patients with moderate to severe psoriasis indicated symptoms, ranked symptoms according to level of bother and indicated areas of their lives affected by psoriasis. Transcripts of interviews were coded for themes. Measurements of psoriasis severity including BSA, PGA and PASI were recorded. <i>Results</i>: Symptoms reported most frequently included flaking/scaling (non-scalp areas), itching/scratching and rash, while the most bothersome symptoms were itching/scratching, flaking/scaling (non-scalp areas) and skin pain. Frequently reported impact areas were social and emotional. <i>Conclusion</i>: Broad-reaching interviews with patients with psoriasis show that these patients suffer in many aspects of their lives and in ways not indicated by typical psoriasis severity measures. Patients with psoriatic arthritis reported symptoms and disease-related complications at higher rates than those without arthritis. Physicians’ explorations of the effect of psoriasis on patients’ life events could aid in managing these patients.

title: Two-Level Designs to Estimate All Main Effects and Two-Factor Interactions

description: We study the design of two-level experiments with <i>N</i> runs and <i>n</i> factors large enough to estimate the interaction model, which contains all the main effects and all the two-factor interactions. Yet, an effect hierarchy assumption suggests that main effect estimation should be given more prominence than the estimation of two-factor interactions. Orthogonal arrays (OAs) favor main effect estimation. However, complete enumeration becomes infeasible for cases relevant for practitioners. We develop a partial enumeration procedure for these cases and we establish upper bounds on the D-efficiency for the interaction model based on arrays that have not been generated by the partial enumeration. We also propose an optimal design procedure that favors main effect estimation. Designs created with this procedure have smaller D-efficiencies for the interaction model than D-optimal designs, but standard errors for the main effects in this model are improved. Generated OAs for 7–10 factors and 32–72 runs are smaller or have a higher D-efficiency than the smallest OAs from the literature. Designs obtained with the new optimal design procedure or strength-3 OAs (which have main effects that are not correlated with two-factor interactions) are recommended if main effects unbiased by possible two-factor interactions are of primary interest. D-optimal designs are recommended if interactions are of primary interest. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

title: Optimization of Multi-Fidelity Computer Experiments via the EQIE Criterion

description: Computer experiments based on mathematical models are powerful tools for understanding physical processes. This article addresses the problem of kriging-based optimization for deterministic computer experiments with tunable accuracy. Our approach is to use multi-fidelity computer experiments with increasing accuracy levels and a nonstationary Gaussian process model. We propose an optimization scheme that sequentially adds new computer runs by following two criteria. The first criterion, called EQI, scores candidate inputs with given level of accuracy, and the second criterion, called EQIE, scores candidate combinations of inputs and accuracy. From simulation results and a real example using finite element analysis, our method outperforms the expected improvement (EI) criterion that works for single-accuracy experiments. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

title: Experimental Investigation of Jet-Induced Resuspension of Indoor Deposited Particles

description: Particles deposited on indoor surfaces may be resuspended and become airborne when disturbed by intensive jets. Depending on the intended purpose, the resuspension of deposited particles may be minimized or promoted. This investigation experimentally measured the resuspension of Arizona test dusts (ATDs) after a jet impingement. The simulating pulsed jets were created by a tube using compressed nitrogen gas. The jets were released into the test section in a wind tunnel that was cleaned by high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. The particle resuspension was evaluated by the dust-removal zone shapes on particle-laden plates, total dust-removal mass and the number of airborne particles. The effects of the jet impingement heights, surface dust loads and particle-laden plate surface roughness on particle resuspension were examined. This study revealed that sparsely deposited dusts indoors are more difficult to resuspend by jets than are densely deposited dusts. The jet impingement to a surface whose roughness is comparable to the particle diameters may cause severer airborne particle exposure than to surfaces with extremely small or large roughness values. For a high surface dust load, there is an optimal jet impingement height that can resuspend the maximum amount of the deposited dusts.

title: Calibration of Stochastic Computer Simulators Using Likelihood Emulation

description: We calibrate a stochastic computer simulation model of “moderate” computational expense. The simulator is an imperfect representation of reality, and we recognize this discrepancy to ensure a reliable calibration. The calibration model combines a Gaussian process emulator of the likelihood surface with importance sampling. Changing the discrepancy specification changes only the importance weights, which lets us investigate sensitivity to different discrepancy specifications at little computational cost. We present a case study of a natural history model that has been used to characterize UK bowel cancer incidence. Datasets and computer code are provided as supplementary material.

title: National Prehospital Evidence-Based Guidelines Strategy: A Summary for EMS Stakeholders

description: Multiple national organizations have recommended and supported a national investment to increase the scientific evidence available to guide patient care delivered by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and incorporate that evidence directly into EMS systems. Ongoing efforts seek to develop, implement, and evaluate prehospital evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) using the National Model Process created by a multidisciplinary panel of experts convened by the Federal Interagency Committee on EMS (FICEMS) and the National EMS Advisory Council (NEMSAC). Yet, these and other EBG efforts have occurred in relative isolation, with limited direct collaboration between national projects, and have experienced challenges in implementation of individual guidelines. There is a need to develop sustainable relationships among stakeholders that facilitate a common vision that facilitates EBG efforts. Herein, we summarize a National Strategy on EBGs developed by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) with involvement of 57 stakeholder organizations, and with the financial support of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the EMS for Children program. The Strategy proposes seven action items that support collaborative efforts in advancing prehospital EBGs. The first proposed action is creation of a Prehospital Guidelines Consortium (PGC) representing national medical and EMS organizations that have an interest in prehospital EBGs and their benefits to patient outcomes. Other action items include promoting research that supports creation and evaluates the impact of EBGs, promoting the development of new EBGs through improved stakeholder collaboration, and improving education on evidence-based medicine for all prehospital providers. The Strategy intends to facilitate implementation of EBGs by improving guideline dissemination and incorporation into protocols, and seeks to establish standardized evaluation methods for prehospital EBGs. Finally, the Strategy proposes that key stakeholder organizations financially support the Prehospital Guidelines Consortium as a means of implementing the Strategy, while together promoting additional funding for continued EBG efforts.

title: Revisiting doxycycline in pregnancy and early childhood – time to rebuild its reputation?

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Doxycycline is highly effective, inexpensive with a broad therapeutic spectrum and exceptional bioavailability. However these benefits have been overshadowed by its classification alongside the tetracyclines – class D drugs, contraindicated in pregnancy and in children under 8 years of age. Doxycycline-treatable diseases are emerging as leading causes of undifferentiated febrile illness in Southeast Asia. For example scrub typhus and murine typhus have an unusually severe impact on pregnancy outcomes, and current mortality rates for scrub typhus reach 12-13% in India and Thailand. The emerging evidence for these important doxycycline-treatable diseases prompted us to revisit doxycycline usage in pregnancy and childhood. <b><i>Areas Covered:</i></b> A systematic review of the available literature on doxycycline use in pregnant women and children revealed a safety profile of doxycycline that differed significantly from that of tetracycline; no correlation between the use of doxycycline and teratogenic effects during pregnancy or dental staining in children was found. <b><i>Expert Opinion:</i></b> The change of the US FDA pregnancy classification scheme to an evidence-based approach will enable adequate evaluation of doxycycline in common tropical illnesses and in vulnerable populations in clinical treatment trials, dosage-optimization pharmacokinetic studies and for the empirical treatment of undifferentiated febrile illnesses, especially in pregnant women and children.
