Analysis of blood pressure and selected cardiovascular risk factors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: the May Measurement Month 2018 results

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Hypertension (HT) is the largest contributor to cardiovascular disease mortality and is characterized by high prevalence and low awareness, treatment, and control rates in sub-Saharan Africa. May Measurement Month (MMM) is an international campaign intended to increase awareness of high blood pressure (BP) among the population and advocate for its importance to the health authorities. This study aimed to increase awareness of raised BP in a country where its nationwide prevalence is yet unestablished. Investigators trained and tested how to use the campaign materials, collected participants’ demographic data, lifestyle habits, and obtained from each one three BP measurements. Hypertension was defined as a BP ≥140/90 mmHg, or use of antihypertensive medication. Of the 18 719 screened (mean age 41 years; 61.4% men), 26.1% were found to be hypertensive of whom 46.3% were aware of their condition and 29.6% were taking antihypertensive medication. The control rate of HT was 43.0% in those on medication and 12.7% among all hypertensive respondents. Comorbidities found were—diabetes (3.3%), overweight/obesity (35.5%); and a previous stroke and a previous myocardial infarction were reported by 1.2% and 2.0%, respectively. Imputed age- and sex-standardized BP was higher in treated hypertensive individuals (135/85 mmHg) than those not treated (124/78 mmHg). Based on linear regression models adjusted for age and sex (and an interaction) and antihypertensive medication, stroke survivors, those who drank once or more per week (vs. never/rarely), and overweight/obese participants were associated with higher BP. MMM18 results in the Democratic Republic of the Congo corroborated the high prevalence of HT in Kinshasa screenees with low rates of treatment and control. Extension of the MMM campaign to other parts of the country is advisable.
Using a Rapid Learning Health System for Stratified Care in Emerging Adult Mental Health Services: Protocol for the Implementation of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (Preprint)

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND

Mental illness among emerging adults is often difficult to ameliorate due to fluctuating symptoms and heterogeneity. Recently, innovative approaches have been developed to improve mental health care for emerging adults, including (1) implementing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess illness severity and inform stratified care to assign emerging adults to a treatment modality commensurate with their level of impairment and (2) implementing a rapid learning health system in which data are continuously collected and analyzed to generate new insights, which are then translated to clinical practice, including collaboration among clients, health care providers, and researchers to co-design and coevaluate assessment and treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a rapid learning health system to enable a measurement-based, stratified care treatment strategy for emerging adults.

METHODS

This study takes place at a specialty clinic serving emerging adults (age 16-24 years) in Calgary, Canada, and involves extensive collaboration among researchers, providers, and youth. The study design includes six phases: (1) developing a transdiagnostic platform for PROMs, (2) designing an initial stratified care model, (3) combining the implementation of PROMs with stratified care, (4) evaluating outcomes and disseminating results, (5) modification of stratified care based on data derived from PROMs, and (6) spread and scale to new sites. Qualitative and quantitative feedback will be collected from health care providers and youth throughout the implementation process. These data will be analyzed at regular intervals and used to modify the way future services are delivered. The RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework is used to organize and evaluate implementation according to 3 key objectives: improving treatment selection, reducing average wait time and treatment duration, and increasing the value of services.

RESULTS

This project was funded through a program grant running from 2021 to 2026. Ethics approval for this study was received in February 2023. Presently, we have developed a system of PROMs and organized clinical services into strata of care. We will soon begin using PROMs to assign clients to a stratum of care and using feedback from youth and clinicians to understand how to improve experiences and outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

This study has key implications for researchers and clinicians looking to understand how to customize emerging adult mental health services to improve the quality of care and satisfaction with care. This study has significant implications for mental health care systems as part of a movement toward value-based health care.

Currency substitution, policy rule and pass-through: evidence from Turkey

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In this article we analyse empirically currency substitution and exchange rate pass-through in the Turkish Economy, where their ongoing presence could undermine the implementation of a successful monetary policy, especially in a flexible exchange rate regime. Even though a considerable time has passed after the implementation of a flexible exchange rate regime in Turkey, by using Vector Error Correction model for the period from 1987 to 2004, we find that the currency substitution and exchange rate pass-through still have importance in the Turkish Economy and the monetary policy stance has been considerably strong, possibly, as a response of ongoing presence of them. If this is the case, to avoid the undesired consequences of this strong monetary policy, Turkey should consider some policy measures to reduce the degree of pass-through and currency substitution.
Perceptions of Students on Location-Based Privacy and Security with Mobile Computing Technology

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Mobile computing is a maturing technology with benefits for consumers. The purpose of this chapter is to furnish research on the perceptions of non-information systems students in both America and Europe on the impact of mobile computing devices on privacy and security. The chapter expands upon earlier research on only the perceptions of information systems students in America on mobile computing privacy and security. This research indicates a higher level of knowledge of the features of mobile computing, but lower levels of knowledge of inherent issues of mobile computing and consumer privacy and of precaution with mobile computing devices. Findings imply an inadequacy in general curriculum, and especially in data mining curriculum, but also an opportunity to improve the curricula. This research will benefit educators attempting to improve their pedagogy with syllabi summarized in the chapter that integrates contemporary issues of privacy and security with mobile computing technology.Request access from your librarian to read this chapter's full text.

Influence of TikTok and Celebrity on Intention to Visit Tourist Destinations

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter focuses on the role of TikTok and the influence of celebrities on tourists' intention to visit promoted tourist destinations. An online survey was conducted with over 240 young people aged 18 to 25 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Participants were further exposed to celebrity TikTok videos promoting tourist attractions before answering a structured survey questionnaire. Results of quantitative analysis using SPSS research methodology found stronger attachment to TikTok celebrities positively predicted perceived social presence and higher state of presence. Furthermore, social presence and state of presence were positively correlated with enjoyment of travel content. Finally, enjoyment showed a positive relationship with intention to visit the recommended destinations. The findings contribute new evidence on how celebrity engagement and engaging viewing experiences on TikTok combine to drive travel intentions. Additionally the chapter helps highlight the importance of strategic social media market marketing partnerships in tourism promotion.
Relation between the cation exchange capacity and the pore space in clay soils: incidences on the morphology of the clay stage at the scale of elementary assemblies = Relation entre la capacité d'échange cationique et le volume poral dans les sols argileux : incidences sur la morphologie de la phase argileuse à l'échelle des assemblages élémentaires

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The pore space in the clay stage of soils is studied from the clean samples of clay soils. The results show a relationship between this pore space and the mineralogy of the clay particles which are characterized by their capacity of cation exchange. The dicussion of this relationship leads to propose a morphologic model of assembly of elementary particles which account for the recorded variations of pore space. / Le volume poral développé par la phase argileuse de sols est étudié à partir d'échantillons non perturbés de sols argileux. Les résultats mettent en évidence une relation entre ce volume poral et la minéralogie des particules d'argile que l'on caractérise par leur capacité d'échange cationique. La discussion de cette relation conduit à proposer un modèle morphologique d'assemblage des particules élémentaires qui rend compte des variations de volume poral enregistrées.
A Patient Engaged: Examining the Benefits of Formal Patient Engagement

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Patient engagement studio models exist to create a platform for patients to offer input on research projects at health systems and academic health centers. While these models are gaining popularity, little research exists that captures the benefits for participants. In this ethnographic study, I examined the benefits of patient engagement for participants at a large Southeastern academic health center. Through individual interviews and field observation, I sought to understand the experiences of patients and what they gained, and how those benefits could be applied to other health care settings. Patients’ responses in interviews and actions in each studio indicated that the following benefits exist: education, empathy, and empowerment. These benefits often worked in relation with each other, as well as offered additional insight on positive patient-physician communication models and effective communication channels in health care.

Toward a Critical Analysis of Role

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Frankfurt School distinguishes role as a sociological concept from role as a phenomenon, and the question becomes what role as a phenomenon may be like. On the basis of an argument adapted from Simmel and Schutz, the hypothesis is raised that roles are everyday schemes based on processes of typification and idealization. It is argued that the latter allows for the intrusion of power into role structures, and, in fact, the use of roles as the expression of political control. Thus, not only role theory (as traditional theory in Horkheimer's terms) but also society's role structures invite the criticisms of critical sociologists who want to contribute through their conceptual work to the liberation of individuals from the constraints of their repressive society.
[Effect of growth hormone on protein phosphorylation in rat liver chromatin].

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The regular injection of hormone results in a decrease of phosphate groups content in total and non-histone proteins of rat liver chromatin. The quanitity of organic phosphate in total liver histone was increased by 17 per cent. This result is due to the increase of the alkaline-labile phosphate content in lysine-rich histones (approximately by 25 per cent) and unsignificant decrease in arginine-rich histones (approximately by 5 per cent). The intensity of the 32P incorporation was increased under the effect of somatotropin in all fraction of basic proteins; this increase being especially for lisine-rich histone subfractions. The quantity of histone f1 subfractions was also increased. A possible importance of changes in the degree of chromatin protein phsophorylation for realization of growth hormone function on the transcription level is considered.

Linearly constrained interference rejection for improved spread spectrum performance

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

An adaptive technique is presented that utilizes the known characteristics of the pseudonoise spread spectrum sequence to enhance the detection capabilities diminished by interference excision. The new technique uses a constrained excision to decrease the bit error rate. The formation of constraint surfaces is the basis of the projection technique used in the adaptive update of the excision filter. The constrained updating of the filter coefficients retains the interference rejection properties of the excision filter while decreasing the variance of the decision variable. The filter operates without training bits and requires little additional computational processing cost over a standard adaptive excision filter. Simulation results demonstrate the mean square error improvement obtained by using the constrained excision filter.< >
Species frequency distribution as a function of the surface area

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Paper deals with the results of statistical analysis of the type of frequency distribution of species occuring in the field layers of two forest phytocoenoses. In the both cases frequency distributions were ranged out for the surface area of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 m<sup>2</sup>. The types of frequency distributions were determined on the grounds of the values of Fisher's and Pearson's K coefficients. Analysed distributions were classified into Pearson's system. Also the size of the sample plot at which the empirical frequency distributions were symetrical, from the statistical point of view, nad where they were U-shaped was determined.

Evaluating cost-effectiveness of diagnostic equipment: the brain scanner case.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

An approach to evaluating the cost-effectiveness of high-technology diagnostic equipment has been devised, using the introduction of computerised axial tomography (CAT) as a model. With the advent of CAT scanning, angiography and air encephalography have a reduced, though important, role in investigating intracranial disease, and the efficient use of conventional equipment requires the centralisation of neuroradiological services, which would result in major cash savings. In contrast, the pattern of demand for CAT scanning, in addition to the acknowledged clinical efficiency of the scanner and its unique role in the head-injured patient, ephasies the need for improved access to scanners. In the interest of the patients the pattern of service must change.
Impact of ECOM Solar Radiation Pressure Models on Multi-GNSS Ultra-Rapid Orbit Determination

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) ultra-rapid precise orbits are crucial for global and wide-area real-time high-precision applications. The solar radiation pressure (SRP) model is an important factor in precise orbit determination. The real-time orbit determination is generally less accurate than the post-processed one and may amplify the instability and mismodeling of SRP models. Also, the impact of different SRP models on multi-GNSS real-time predicted orbits demands investigations. We analyzed the impact of the ECOM 1 and ECOM 2 models on multi-GNSS ultra-rapid orbit determination in terms of ambiguity resolution performance, real-time predicted orbit overlap precision, and satellite laser ranging (SLR) validation. The multi-GNSS observed orbital arc and predicted orbital arcs of 1, 3, 6, and 24 h are compared. The simulated real-time experiment shows that for GLONASS and Galileo ultra-rapid orbits, compared to ECOM 1, ECOM 2 increased the ambiguity fixing rate to 89.3% and 83.1%, respectively, and improves the predicted orbit accuracy by 9.2% and 27.7%, respectively. For GPS ultra-rapid orbits, ECOM 2 obtains a similar ambiguity fixing rate as ECOM 1 but slightly better orbit overlap precision. For BDS GEO ultra-rapid orbits, ECOM 2 obtains better overlap precision and SLR residuals, while for BDS IGSO and MEO ultra-rapid orbits, ECOM 1 obtains better orbit overlap precision and SLR residuals.
Effectiveness of Low-Dose Lovastatin in Lowering Serum Cholesterol

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

This study reviews the progress of 56 consecutive patients with type IIa and IIb hyperlipoproteinemia following treatment with lovastatin. Lovastatin, a potent inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, has been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect in doses ranging from 10 to 80 mg/d. Thus far, however, no large study has been performed to show the effectiveness of low-dose lovastatin (20 mg/d) for more than a 6-week duration. Fifty-six patients with known coronary artery disease were prospectively studied, with fasting lipid values being measured at baseline and after 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks of 20-mg/d lovastatin therapy given as a single evening dose. The total cholesterol level fell 26% from a mean baseline of 8.12 mmol/L (314 mg/dL) and triglyceride levels fell by 12% from a mean baseline of 2.46 mmol/L. The high-density lipoprotein levels increased 7.6%. One patient with known preexisting liver disease was withdrawn from the study owing to an asymptomatic significant rise in liver function test results; one subject complaining of proximal muscle weakness was also withdrawn. The maximal decrease in total cholesterol level occurred within 6 weeks of initiation of therapy. We conclude that low-dose (20-mg/d) lovastatin was effective in lowering serum cholesterol levels in patients with primary type IIa or IIb hyperlipoproteinemia with minimal short-term side effects. Further studies are needed to establish the long-term safety and effectiveness of this drug.
