Implementing the Fatigue Guidelines at One NCCN Member Institution: Process and Outcomes

Fatigue, despite being the most common and distressing symptom in cancer, is often unrelieved because of numerous patient, provider, and system barriers. The overall purpose of this 5-year prospective clinical trial is to translate the NCCN Cancer-Related Fatigue Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology and NCCN Adult Cancer Pain Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology into practice and develop a translational interventional model that can be replicated across settings. This article focuses on one NCCN member institution's experience related to the first phase of the NCCN Cancer-Related Fatigue Guidelines implementation, describing usual care compared with evidence-based guidelines. Phase 1 of this 3-phased clinical trial compared the usual care of fatigue with that administered according to the NCCN guidelines. Eligibility criteria included age 18 years or older; English-speaking; diagnosed with breast, lung, colon, or prostate cancer; and fatigue and/or pain ratings of 4 or more on a 0 to 10 screening scale. Research nurses screened all available subjects in a cancer center medical oncology clinic to identify those meeting these criteria. Instruments included the Piper Fatigue Scale, a Fatigue Barriers Scale, a Fatigue Knowledge Scale, and a Fatigue Chart Audit Tool. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis. At baseline, 45 patients had fatigue only (≥ 4) and 24 had both fatigue and pain (≥ 4). This combined sample (N = 69) was predominantly Caucasian (65%), female (63%), an average of 60 years old, diagnosed with stage 3 or 4 breast cancer, and undergoing treatment (82%). The most common barriers noted were patients' belief that physicians would introduce the subject of fatigue if it was important (patient barrier); lack of fatigue documentation (professional barrier); and lack of supportive care referrals (system barrier). Findings showed several patient, professional, and system barriers that distinguish usual care from that recommended by the NCCN Cancer-Related Fatigue Guidelines. Phase 2, the intervention model, is designed to decrease these barriers and improve patient outcomes over time, and is in progress.

Consumer Co-operatives and Perceptions of Food Safety

This paper examines consumer co-operatives and members' perceptions of food safety. Japan is an ideal place to study given it is undoubtedly the ‘best example of a successful consumer co-operative sector in the postwar period' (Birchall, 2002, p. 79). While some co-operatives have evolved into a considerable political force, not all consumer co-operatives are as large or as politically active. This study qualitatively explores the views of the members of two small, less politically active co-operatives in Tokushima. Of particular relevance are the types of produce being consumed by members, and why (and how) purchasing behaviour has been shaped by food safety concerns, post-Fukushima.

GROWTH PROCESS FOR DIAMOND THIN FILMS

High quality diamond thin films were grown by hot finament chchcal vopr dopsition.Their microstructure and growth processes were studied by means of high-magnification scatring clectron miorosoopy. The study showed that nucleation of diamond was detetrined mainly by the sharp degree of deposition sites. The growth of diamond thin films consisted of growth of primary diamond nuleus, second nucleation and their growth onto the diamond thin films, can be described by gradahonal growth. The growth processes of diamond particles consisted of the epitaxial growth stage and second nucleation and their growth stage, can also be decribed by gradational growth. Gradational growth leaded to larer up layer struc-ture of diamond particles and thin filIns because of second nucleation and their growth.

CHARACTERIZATION AND UTILIZATION OF OIL SHALE ASH MIXED WITH GRANITIC AND MARBLE WASTES TO PRODUCE LIGHTWEIGHT BRICKS; pp. 56–69

This study aimed to investigate the possible utilization of different waste materials such as oil shale ash mixed with marble and granite sludge, to produce low-cost compressed strong lightweight masonry bricks and alike. Various mixtures of the three wastes were prepared with different proporÂ­tions by weight. Characterization of the produced bricks was conducted by carrying out laboratory tests including but not limited to absorption, permeability, dry density, void ratio, thermal conductivity and compressive strength. On average, compressive strength values were 3.5 and 3.8 MPa at 28 days for ash-granite and ash-marble sludge, respectively, compared with the specified value of 3.5 MPa for cement bricks. The strength of ash-based samples is attributed to the alkali-pozzolanic reaction in the tested composites. On the other hand, the tested samples showed a very low permeability ranging from 3 Ã 10â6 to 7.2 Ã 10â6 cm/sec, in addition to the low dry density between 1.14 and 1.27 g/cm3. Moreover, a low thermal conÂ­ductivity of about 0.1 and 0.2 W/m K was measured for the produced bricks. Such results are encouraging to investigate further the properties and feasibility of production of such new bricks which would be used to build new low-income houses.

Intracranial Hemorrhage Detection in CT Scans using Deep Learning

In intracranial hemorrhage treatment patient mortality depends on prompt diagnosis based on a radiologist's assessment of CT scans. In this paper, we investigate the intracranial hemorrhage detection problem and built a deep learning model to accelerate the time used to identify the hemorrhages. To assist with this process, a deep learning model can be used to accelerate the time it takes to identify them. In particular, we built a convolutional neural network based on ResNet for the classification. Using 752,803 DICOM files collected from four international universities by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) [1], we trained and tested a ResNet- 50 based model for predicting the hemorrhage type. Our model has an accuracy of 93.3% in making the correct multiclass prediction and an average per-class recall score of 76%. We show it is possible to achieve an average recall of 86% while maintaining 70% precision via tuning the prediction thresholds. Lastly, we show real-world applicability by deploying a simple web application. The source code for training, metrics evaluation and web application is available at [2].

Vision based long range object detection and tracking for unmanned surface vehicle

A real time vision based long range object detection and tracking algorithm for unmanned surface vehicles (USV) is proposed in this paper. HD image (2736 × 2192) is utilised in this work to obtain high accuracy for the object distance estimation. With handling such high resolution images for real time performance, we propose a coarse to fine approach, which firstly estimates the sea surface plane and locations of objects coarsely on lower resolution images corresponding to the HD images, then the detected coarse locations or regions of interest (ROI) are projected to the original HD image, finally stereo matching is preformed in the original image only on these extracted ROI, which renders more accurate 3D information for localizing the objects on the open sea. In the tracking, we propose to combine the target tracking based on 2D image with the constrained template matching to compute the depth, which demonstrates a more robust and accurate performance. Experimental results with our own dataset verify the high efficiency of our proposed method.

The diabetes annual review as an educational tool: assessment and learning integrated with care, screening, and audit. The North Tyneside Diabetes Team.

An integrated diabetes Annual Review is described, suitable for the long-term care of large numbers of diabetic patients. Equal weight is given to dietary and educational assessment as to medical care and screening. Based on well-developed team-work the patient moves through a structured review which culminates in goal setting and planned care for the subsequent year. A structured audit of the review was carried out on a cohort of 123 patients of whom 67 had had two annual reviews. Ten patients failed to attend. Knowledge scores improved by 44% between first and second reviews. In 34% of patients in the first year and in 46% in year two, HbA1c levels were outside a target range set for each treatment group, but only 18% had results outside target in both years. A postal questionnaire was returned by 74/108 (69%) patients. This indicated a high level of patient participation and satisfaction with the review process. The diabetes team set standards, conducted the review, and subsequently changed in-house working practices and documentation, and developed in-service training.

Exceeding the Classical Time-bandwidth Product in Nonlinear Time-invariant Systems

The classical 'time-bandwidth' limit for linear time-invariant (LTI) devices asserts that it is impossible to store broadband waves (large Δω's) for long times (large Δt's). For standing waves, i.e., vibrations, in particular, this limit takes on a simple form, Δt Δω = 1, where Δω is the bandwidth over which localization occurs, and Δt is the storage time. It remains a fundamental challenge in classical wave physics and vibration engineering to try to find ways to overcome this limit, not least because that would allow for storing broadband waves for long times, or achieve broadband resonance for low damping. Recent theoretical studies have suggested that such a feat might be possible in LTI terminated unidirectional waveguides or LTI topological 'rainbow trapping' devices, although an experimental confirmation of either concept is still lacking. In this work, we consider a nonlinear but time-invariant mechanical system and demonstrate experimentally that its time-bandwidth product can exceed the classical time-bandwidth limit, thus achieving values, both, above and below unity, in an energy-tunable way. Our proposed structure consists of a single degree-of-freedom nonlinear oscillator, rigidly coupled to a nondispersive waveguide. Upon developing the full theoretical framework for this class of nonlinear systems, we show how one may control the nonlinear flow of energy in the frequency domain, thereby managing to disproportionally decrease (increase) Δt, the storage time in the resonator, as compared with an increase (decrease) of the system's bandwidth Δω. Our results pave the way to conceiving and harnessing hitherto unattainable broadband and simultaneously low-loss wave-storage devices, both linear and nonlinear, for a host of key applications in wave physics and engineering.

Metformin Perturbs Pancreatic Differentiation From Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Metformin is becoming a popular treatment before and during pregnancy, but current literature on in utero exposure to metformin lacks long-term clinical trials and mechanistic studies. Current literature on the effects of metformin on mature pancreatic β-cells highlights its dual, opposing, protective, or inhibitory effects, depending on metabolic environment. However, the impact of metformin on developing human pancreatic β-cells remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the potential effects of metformin exposure on human pancreatic β-cell development and function in vitro. In the absence of metabolic challenges such as high levels of glucose and fatty acids, metformin exposure impaired the development and function of pancreatic β-cells, with downregulation of pancreatic genes and dysfunctional mitochondrial respiration. It also affected the insulin secretion function of pancreatic β-cells. These findings call for further in-depth evaluation of the exposure of human embryonic and fetal tissue during pregnancy to metformin and its implications for long-term offspring health.

Evaluation Framework for effective HIV/public health programming in Nigeria

Evaluation is a buzzword in the field of development. How can one ensure the incorporation of effective monitoring and assessment framework in HIV/AIDS and public health programming that will impact positively on the reproductive health of young adults in Nigeria? In most public corporations in Nigeria, there is hardly any conscious effort on the part of the government to conduct either process evaluation or impact assessment on various government projects and policy, especially on HIV/public health programming. This course-linked capstone thematically illustrated the current state of the problem by providing in-depth analysis of the degree of HIV impact on the affected population, and the effort put in place by the government. I reviewed available publications and journals to consider expert opinion on the issue. The paper accessed relevant frameworks and proposed a tripartite approach, (Ensuring Effective Collaboration) aimed at making sure the government established a collaboration and linkage with social enterprises and Nongovernment organization to stem the incidence of HIV. Finally, the learning reflected the process and transformation of the proposed model into a valuable and viable tool. This paper proposed recommendations for the Nigerian government on the need to address the scourge of HIV as it affects the reproductive health of the young adult.

Worm burden of cattle gastro-intestinal nematodes in farmed red deer.

Due to the increase in anthelmintic resistance, new ways of controlling gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) are being researched. Multispecies grazing in New Zealand could be an aid in reducing and controlling GIN,\nThe aim of this study was to investigate the establishment rate of cattle GIN in deer. \nA mixed culture of cattle infective larvae were obtained from naturally infected cattle. A challenge dose was given intra-ruminally via stomach tube to cattle (n=5) and deer (n=5) containing Haemonchus contortus, Ostertagia ostertagi Trichostrongylus spp., and Cooperia spp.. The challenge dose was adjusted for the mean weight of the two hosts and was given at 0.4 ml/kg: consequently the cattle received 50 ml and the deer 15 ml. After four weeks the abomasums, small intestines and large intestines were collected. The worm burden was determined for each animal and organ.\nThe worm burden Ostertagia ostertagi was significantly lower in the deer than in the cattle (1.9 per ml of challenge dose vs. 82.0/ml; p &amp;lt; 0.05). The worm burden Cooperia oncophora was also significantly lower in the deer than in the cattle (5.9/ml vs. 460.3/ml; p &amp;lt; 0.05). The worm burdens of Haemonchus contortus, Trichostrongylus axei and Trichostrongylus colubriformis were not significantly different in the deer than in the cattle (17.7/ml vs. 41.4/ml, 65.9/ml vs. 86.9/ml, and 0.6/ml vs. 1.6/ml, respectively). \nThese findings indicate that the two most prevalent species in cattle in New Zealand O. ostertagi and C. oncophora are not a risk to establish a significant worm burden in deer after transmission from cattle. The burdens of H. contortus and T. axei in both hosts indicate they are as much a risk for deer as for cattle and may cross infect. There were too few C. punctata, T. colubriformis and C. curticei to make comparisons.

“Build a School, Rebuild a City” An economic examination of the re-structured education system in New Orleans, 10 years after Hurricane Katrina

The city could have died. But it didn’t. Though the damage to the city of New Orleans in 2005 was devastating in ways that shocked the nation ten years ago, its culture and people are alive and thriving today. The depth of passion in New Orleans motivated and inspired individuals to move back to the city quickly and restore its glory. However, such rapid restoration is not without vast socioeconomic challenges. Education is a vital component of any thriving social system, and the education system in New Orleans has rebuilt itself in a unique way: largely through charter schools. This ten-year mission of deeply contemplating how best to educate children shows how economic development, privatization, and consumer choice change the landscape of primary and secondary education in a way unmatched by any other school reform movements in the country, due to the state of the school system pre- and post-Katrina. Referred to by some as, “the greatest experiment in the history of American education,” (Rebirth) post-Katrina New Orleans demonstrates the social and economic issues that are integral factors in shaping a nation’s education system.
