A Comparative Study of Infliximab and Its Biosimilar: Efficacy and Safety in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are two chronic autoimmune diseases for which the infliximab biosimilar CT-P13 has received regulatory approval for use in all indications of the reference medication. Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of biological infliximab versus its infliximab biosimilar administered to Libyan adult patients with RA and AS. Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted on 135 patients with confirmed RA and 72 patients with AS. The patient groups were subdivided into those treated with infliximab biosimilars and reference infliximab. Comparative analyses were conducted using t-tests to assess differences in disease activity. Results: There were no appreciable changes in the safety and efficacy of the two therapies, and both RA and AS patients treated with infliximab biosimilar or reference infliximab had significant reductions in disease activity. Conclusion: The safety and effectiveness profiles of both the infliximab biosimilar and reference infliximab in treating RA and AS are similar, recommending the use of or switching to the less expensive biosimilar.

A Meta-Analysis of the Relationship between Cannabis, Opiates, Cocaine, Heroin, or other Illegal Drug Use and Student Academic and Behavioral Outcomes

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The meta-analysis, that included 75 studies, examined the relationship between illegal drug consumption, on the one hand, and student academic and behavioral outcomes, on the other, for the middle school to college grade levels. The meta-analysis first (research question #1) addressed whether there is a statistically significant relationship between illegal drug consumption and student academic and behavioral outcomes. A second question assessed whether there was a statistically significant relationship between the consumption of specific kinds of illegal drugs and student academic and behavioral outcomes (research question #2). The third analysis distinguished between the effects for educational- and behavioral-outcomes to see whether the consumption of illegal drugs was associated with one more than the other (research question #3). Fourth, there were analyses to determine whether the effects that emerged under the first two research questions differed by the age of the student (research question #4). The fifth analysis (research question #5) assessed whether the effects that emerged under the first two research questions differed by the race of the student. The results indicated widespread statistically significant effects for all the drugs under study. The extent of the effects were considerably greater for college students than they were for middle school students.
The role of therapist support on the efficacy of an internet-delivered stress recovery intervention for healthcare workers: a randomized control trial

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Internet-delivered CBT interventions effectively improve different aspects of mental health, although the therapist's role remains unclear. The aim of this trial was to evaluate the efficacy of a therapist-supported 6-week internet-delivered intervention in improving stress recovery among healthcare workers compared to a group with optional therapist support. A total of 196 participants were recruited and randomly allocated to regular therapists' support or optional therapists' support groups. The primary outcome measure was the Recovery Experiences Questionnaire (REQ), developed to assess four components of stress recovery: psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery, and control. Secondary outcomes measured perceived stress (PSS-10), anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-9), and psychological well-being (WHO-5). All four stress recovery skills improved significantly after participating in the intervention at a 3-month follow-up, with small to medium effects (0.27-0.65) in both groups. At follow-up, we also found a significant reduction in perceived stress, depression, and anxiety in both groups, as well as an improvement in psychological well-being. The results indicate that ICBT can be effective in improving stress recovery skills among healthcare workers with optional support from the therapist, provided at the participants' request. This RCT suggests that optional therapist support could meet participants' needs and reduce resources needed in routine care.
Comparing the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Behavioral Skills Training and Brief Performance Feedback Interventions During the Training of Paraeducators Supporting Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Due to the increasing number of students in need of special education services and the shortages of licensed special education personnel, paraeducators have become a critical component in the education of students with autism in school settings. Due to this, the training of paraeducators is a critical concern for human service as well as educational settings. The literature has suggested performance feedback as the most widely researched intervention to address implementation deficiencies among educators and non-professional staff in schools. In addition, performance feedback in combination with other strategies has been established as effective when training paraprofessionals. However, despite their effectiveness, such approaches may require increased time and resources, thus compromising the feasibility of paraprofessional training in school settings. Therefore, the purpose of the following study aimed to demonstrate and extend the research base regarding the effectiveness of a brief performance feedback intervention. Further, this study attempted to evaluate the efficiency of brief performance feedback interventions when compared with more comprehensive, behaviorally based training approaches (i.e., Behavioral Skills Training). Finally, this study sought to strengthen the current literature base related to the training of paraeducators by improving areas of methodological weaknesses addressed in the presented review of the available literature. Results of present study suggested similar levels of effectiveness between the brief performance feedback intervention and Behavioral Skills Training and increased time efficiency of the brief performance feedback intervention over Behavioral Skills Training. Limitations of the current study and recommendations for future research and practice are also discussed.
Unravelling the menace: detection of antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

One of the major problems to be addressed in aquaculture is the prominence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The occurrence of bacterial infections in cultured fishes promotes the continuous use of antibiotics in aquaculture, which results in the selection of proliferated antibiotic-resistant bacteria and increases the possibility of transfer to the whole environment through horizontal gene transfer. Hence, the accurate cultivation-dependent and cultivation-independent detection methods are very much crucial for the immediate and proper management of this menace. Antimicrobial resistance determinants carrying mobile genetic transfer elements such as transposons, plasmids, integrons and gene cassettes need to be specifically analysed through molecular detection techniques. The susceptibility of microbes to antibiotics should be tested at regular intervals along with various biochemical assays and conjugation studies so as to determine the extent of spread of AMR. Advanced omic-based and bioinformatic tools can also be incorporated for understanding of genetic diversity. The present review focuses on different detection methods to unearth the complexity of AMR in aquaculture. This monitoring helps the authorities to curb the use of antibiotics, commencement of appropriate management measures and adequate substitute strategies in aquaculture. The long battle of AMR could be overcome by the sincere implementation of One Health approach. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The use of antibiotics and increased antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are of major concerns in aquaculture industry. This could result in global health risks through direct consumption of cultured fishes and dissemination of AMR to natural environment through horizontal gene transfer. Hence, timely detection of the antimicrobial-resistant pathogens and continuous monitoring programmes are inevitable. Advanced microbiological, molecular biological and omic-based tools can unravel the menace to a great extent. This will help the authorities to curb the use of antibiotics and implement appropriate management measures to overcome the threat.

Biological Characteristics for Assessing Low Phosphorus Intake in Growing Swine

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A total of 195 swine from 18 to 35 kg were used to evaluate various biological responses of growing swine fed low P diets at different Ca:P ratios. Three replicates of a randomized complete-block design in a 3 X 3 factorial arrangement of treatments were used. Total dietary P levels of .12, .31 and .50% were fed in 1:1, 1.5:1 or 3:1 Ca:P ratios. Diets were formulated using corn starch, dextrin and soy protein concentrate, with monosodium phosphate and limestone used to supply appropriate dietary treatment levels of Ca and P. Gain and feed performance were generally influenced by both Ca:P ratio and dietary P level. Serum inorganic P decreased linearly as Ca:P ratio widened and increased linearly as dietary P increased. Serum Ca concentrations responded inversely to serum inorganic P in response to both Ca:P ratio and dietary P level. Serum alkaline phosphatase was not affected by Ca:P ratio, but declined quadratically with increasing dietary P level. Bone bending moment was influenced by both dietary P level and Ca:P ratio. Bone component weights (ash, organic matrix), percentage bone ash and net accretion of bone ash and organic component weights were not influenced by Ca:P ratio but increased linearly as dietary P level increased. These results suggest that bone component weights, net ash accretion and percentage bone ash were more sensitive criteria than bone bending moment or serum alkaline phosphatase, which in turn were more sensitive than serum inorganic P, Ca, Mg and growth performance characteristics in response to dietary P level.

“Nobody cares about you as a group of people”: a mixed methods study of women living in congregate social housing in Ontario, Canada

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Guided by the social model of disability, we carried out this exploratory study to understand the health and psychosocial needs of women living in social housing in Ontario, Canada. Using a sequential, mixed-methods design, we interviewed 19 women using a 126-item quantitative interview including six standardized measures exploring indicators of psychosocial well-being. From these findings, we designed a qualitative interview protocol and returned to participants. We calculated descriptive statistics for quantitative variables and analyzed qualitative data using thematic analysis. Participants reported a median of six unmet basic psychosocial needs (range 1–16; IQR = 6), a high prevalence of health conditions and associated disability with scores falling above the 80th percentile on all subtests of a disability measure. Qualitative findings revealed that participants were living in an environment that made it challenging to meet their basic needs and felt abandoned by community supports. A persistent lack of safety led to self-isolation, which negatively influenced mental well-being. Social housing is aimed at alleviating poverty and its associated harms, yet women face multiple barriers to meeting their basic needs through existing supports and continue to experience poverty. Social housing can be disabling environments for women living in poverty.
Situated Practice and Safety as Objects of Management

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter focuses on the relationship between representations of work (rules, procedures, models, specifications, plans) and work as a situated practice, performed by real people in always unique contexts. Empirically, it is organized around two main examples, the first one being a discussion of the compartmentalization of safety seen in shipping and the railway sector. It shows how safety, as an object of management, has become decoupled from practice, and how current discourses about safety disempower practitioners and subordinate their perspectives to more "theoretical" positions. The second is based on a study of control room operators in a space research operations setting. Here safety in the sense of avoiding harm to people is not the main concern; rather it is the reliability and robustness of an experiment on the International Space Station that is at stake. This example serves as a starting point for discussing how the research and theory on industrial safety should address the different temporalities of different work situations. It also helps to discuss the role of rules and procedures to support safety, reliability and resilience within the field of safety science. Finally, some propositions about the relationship between situated practice and the management of safety are provided: how invisible aspects of situated work might be important for safety yet hard to manage, how procedures and rules might be integrated parts of situated work as much as representations of it and how different temporalities of work situations should be included in the theorizing of safety and resilience.

The Hermeneutics of the Tirumantiram

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In Saiva Siddhanta, one of the main religious movements in Tamil Nadu, the Tirumantiram by Tirumular plays an important role. It is considered one of the main texts and though not read as much as some of the other more devotional texts or the more theological and philosophical texts, it nevertheless, stands out iconically as a key text for the movement and its followers. Saiva Siddhanta is seen by many in Tamil Nadu, as a local production which sometimes plays out in the discourse of the local Tamil culture as an indigenous production. However, what is also of interest in this movement is its long relationship to pan-Indian movements and how it participates in these trans-local discourses. Here, I look at the role that the Tirumantiram plays in the production of these pan-Indian discourses, especially as they become localized in Tamil Nadu and how the text helps to bridge these two spheres--the local and global, as it gets co-opted into the local Tamil Saiva Siddhanta;nta movement. I also touch upon how this same text is used by a counter-cultural movement--the Tamil Cittar movement which, in opposition to the orthodox, high-caste Saiva Siddhanta movement, uses this same very text but interprets it according to its own marginal discourse to make those same practices found in the text, available to a larger audience and set of practitioners. \tI do this by first looking at the Tirumantiram in a historical and social context as has been studied by some scholars. I then, give a brief synopsis of its contents by looking at the different sections and their contents. I follow this with an analyses of the ideas and practices found within the Tirumantiram by looking at them through a mainly Foucaultian enterprise, especially by using some of the ideas and methodologies Foucault developed when looking at ancient Greek and Roman cultures of the self, to look at how technologies of the self were used in order to construct meanings of subjectivity and relationships to truth. I do this by first looking at some of the general ideas found in the Tirumantiram and how they have been analyzed and explained through a corpus of commentarial productions. I then look at some of the specific sections which deal with particular bodily and mental practices, in order to contextualize the discourses ofSaiva Siddhanta, especially the concepts of devotion and grace, and how they are embedded even within physical practices. I conclude that the Tirumantiram played and plays and important role in the formation of subjectivity and ethics in present day Tamil Nadu.
Sage without a stage: A cultural historical activity theory perspective on E-teaching in web-based, high-school classrooms

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper reports on a study that uses cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) to make sense of e-teachers‟ activity in a context of high-school distance education. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews with 13 e-teachers as well as seven management and support personnel in an organization responsible for the design and delivery of high-school distance education in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. As well, the authors conducted a second round of interviews with 12 of the 13 teachers. Findings revealed that the traditional metaphor of teacher as „sage on the stage‟ ceased to have a reference point in the distributed online classroom. The e-teachers were widening the object of their activity to include less teacher-centered forms of learning that involved more student independence.
Crude Oil Price Prediction Using Slantlet Denoising Based Hybrid Models

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The accurate prediction of crude oil price movement has always been the central issue with profound implications across different levels of the economy. This study conducts empirical investigations into the characteristics of crude oil market and proposes a novel Slantlet denoising based hybrid methodology for the prediction of its movement. The proposed algorithm models the underlying data characteristics in a more refined manner, integrating linear models such as ARMA and nonlinear models such as Support Vector Regression. Empirical studies confirm the superiority of the proposed Slantlet based hybrid models against benchmark alternatives. The performance improvement is attributed to the finer separation of complicated factors influencing the crude oil behaviors into linear and nonlinear components in the multi scale domain, which improves the goodness of fit and reduces the overfitting issue.
Standardization and quality control of sperm concentration and sperm motility counts in semen analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The paper reports a study of standardization and quality control of sperm concentration counts and visual motility assessments in human semen analyses performed for infertility investigations and from internal quality control procedures. Sperm concentration determinations were performed in Improved Neubauer haemocytometers on volumetric dilutions made using a positive displacement pipettor for sampling the liquefied semen. In addition to a standard 1 + 19 dilution a second dilution of either 1 + 9, 1 + 19 or 1 + 49 was made according to whether the estimated sperm concentration was less than 20, 20-100 or greater than 100 X 10(6)/ml respectively. The duplicate determinations of sperm concentration were highly significantly correlated (P much less than 0.001) with less than 5% variability. Parallel visual sperm motility assessments were made by two pairs of technicians and showed highly significant correlations (P much less than 0.001) between technicians in the determination of the percentages of motile and progressive spermatozoa as well as the subjective rating of sperm progressivity. When these values were incorporated into a calculated motility index which gave added weight to the progressive spermatozoa and to their quality of progression the correlations between technicians remained highly significant (P much less than 0.001) with average differences of the order of 1.0%. Therefore, provided that sufficient attention is paid to technician training, regular standardization checks and the use of only proven reliable procedures, quantitatively accurate values for sperm concentration and motility can be obtained in routine semen analyses.
