Pre‐program function predicts outcomes in workers’ compensation post‐lumbar fusion patients

The purpose of this study was to determine if pre‐program function could predict functional outcomes following a sports performance based rehabilitation program in workers’ compensation patients (n=63). PDL was measured at program start (PDL1) and completion (PDL2). PDL was classified by occasional occupational lifting requirements: LIGHT (L; 20lbs), LIGHT‐MEDIUM (LM; 35lbs), MEDIUM (M; 50 lbs), MEDIUM‐HEAVY (MH; 75lbs), HEAVY (H; 100lbs), VERY HEAVY (VH; &gt;100lbs). For analysis, PDL was assigned a numerical value: L=1, LM=2, M=3, MH=4, H=5, VH=6. A one‐way ANOVA was used to analyze relationships between PDL. Fisher’s Exact Test was used for post‐hoc analysis. Pooled comparisons were analyzed by a Student’s t‐test. The level of significance was set at p&lt;0.05. Data are mean±SD. PDL1: L=2, LM=42, M=10, MH=6, H=2, VH=1. PDL2: L=1, LM=1, M=11, MH=25, H=7, VH=20. When grouped by PDL1, PDL2 did not vary between groups (p=0.0574), therefore L and LM (L/LM, n=44) were pooled along with M, MH, H, and VH (M/H, n=19). After pooling, PDL2 varied between L/LM and M/H groups (p=0.0225). The number of rehabilitation sessions also varied between L/LM and M/H groups (36±22 v 32±11 respectively). These results indicate that preprogram screening can be used to predict functional outcomes following rehabilitation. In addition, these results indicate that patients starting at lower functional levels require additional rehabilitation sessions to achieve similar outcomes.

Robustness in the personnel shift scheduling problem : the modelling and validation of different proactive and reactive strategies

The personnel planning process in any organization aims to ensure that the organization can offer a desired service level to their customers at a minimal personnel cost and maximal personnel satisfaction. This process consists of three hierarchical phases characterized by differing levels of decision freedom and uncertainty about the future personnel demand and availability. In this respect, the personnel planner faces a large and medium level of uncertainty and decision freedom in the strategic staffing phase and the tactical scheduling phase, respectively. In these phases, the personnel planner manages the uncertainty by making assumptions and predictions about the future. Based on these assumptions and predictions, the personnel planner makes decisions about the number of employees to be hired and assigned to work during specific points in time. These decisions constrain the decision freedom in the operational allocation phase, in which the personnel planner obtains the most recent information on the actual personnel demand and availability. This information may differ from the assumptions and predictions, and affect the service level and personnel cost and satisfaction. As such, the moment the personnel planner faces the lowest level of uncertainty, (s)he also has the lowest level of decision freedom. In this respect, this dissertation aims to propose strategies to anticipate and deal with unexpected divergences between the previously established assumptions and predictions, and the actual personnel demand and availability.

Data from Rare Cancer Trial Design: Lessons from FDA Approvals

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;A systematic analysis of clinical trials supporting rare cancer drug approvals may identify concepts and terms that can inform the effective design of prospective clinical trials for rare cancers. In this article, using annual incidence ≤6 of 100,000 individuals to define “rare cancer,” we identified clinical trials for rare cancers, supporting U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drug approvals for rare cancer indications between December 1987 and May 2011. We characterized each selected trial for study design, sample size, primary efficacy endpoints, and statistical comparisons. We also profiled trials with regard to type of submission, review designation, and approval type. Our results indicated that, of 99 trials that supported the approvals of 45 drugs for 68 rare cancer indications, one third of these trials were randomized; 69% of approvals relied on objective response rate as the primary efficacy endpoint; and 63% were based on a single trial. Drugs granted accelerated approval appeared more likely to be associated with postmarketing safety findings, relative to drugs approved under the regular approval. Data collected across clinical trials were robust: Use of different lower incidence rates in analyzing these trials did not have effects on trial characteristics. The absolute number of drug approvals for rare cancer indications increased markedly over time. We concluded that one third of clinical trials supporting drug approvals for rare cancer indications were randomized, affirming the feasibility and value of randomized trial design to evaluate drugs for rare cancers. Postmarketing safety data may relate to trial design and approval type. An operational definition of “rare cancer” can be useful for the analysis of trial data and for the path toward harmonizing the terminology in the area of clinical research on rare cancers. &lt;i&gt;Clin Cancer Res; 18(19); 5172–8. ©2012 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Free-Range wild Boars (Sus scrofa) and Rabies in Brazil: Absence of Molecular Detection in the Central Nervous System of Seropositive Animals.

Abstract Samples of brain cortex of 12 free-range healthy wild boars from Southern Brazil were tested for RABV by dFAT and qPCR, all negative. The negative results in seropositive healthy wild boars may be associated with exposure of non-viable virus particles, virus proteins by bat saliva or consumption of contaminated carcasses.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING READINESS AND ACHIEVEMENT

The aim of this study was to understand the influence of emotional intelligence and self-directed learning readiness on achievement and the influence of emotional intelligence on self-directed learning readiness of students who are in their first or second-year education in a foundation university in Ankara. The scales used are self-directed learning readiness scale and Schutte’s (2001) emotional intelligence. It was found that emotional intelligence and self-directed learning readiness were strongly correlated. Also emotional intelligence predicted self-directed learning readiness with very little support from gender. There was no relation between self-directed learning and GPA as well as emotional intelligence and GPA. Being from different departments did not have an influence on GPA.

BLAST PROTECTION WALL SYSTEMS: LITERATURE REVIEW

This paper presents a review of the current research trend to design blast protection wall systems.The paper summarizes the published research of the high-tech composite blast wall systems made of advanced materials.The summary includes system components and material properties, design philosophy, parametric study, system performance, and limitations of such type of blast-resistant systems.The level of terrorist attack threats has increased significantly in the last few years, especially in the Middle East targeting populated areas and leaving numerous victims and billions of dollars' worth of losses in infrastructure.Therefore, the use of high-tech blast-resistant wall systems might be hindered by its lack of available materials and construction technology in most countries.Primitive protection systems to guard from surrounding risks, whether natural or man-made have been used for temporary and military fortifications.The simple protection systems could provide the required safety level with minimal efforts and low cost.This paper highlights the research gap in considering simple blast protection walls made of readily available materials to mitigate blast.This paper also discusses the recent research attempts to investigate the performance of blast walls made of thin timber sheets and plain sand as an example of low-tech materials for permanent applications.The study clarifies the efficiency of simple blast wall systems to attenuate blast based on the open-space blast test measurements and numerical analysis results.However, simple blast wall systems may not be appropriate to install in urban areas yet, hence, future studies are invited to conduct integrated studies to investigate and implement architecture design modifications for this purpose.

Assessing University Strategic Plans: A Tool For Consideration

This article explores the use of rubrics as tools for assessing the quality of university-developed strategic plans. While tools exist for assessing the quality of the planning process, such tools are not readily available for assessing the resulting product or the overall quality of the plan itself. Specifi cally, a rubric is described that has been designed and fi eld-tested for the purpose of evaluating the strategic planning document produced at the university level. This approach builds upon outcome assessment methods developed in the business sector and proposes a tool tailored for use in higher education.

A retrospective analysis of complications associated with postpartum hemorrhage up to 1 year postpartum in mothers with and without a pre-existing mental health diagnosis

Background/objectives: There is limited research on the associated immediate and long-term outcomes of postpartum hemorrhage. Mothers with a pre-existing psychiatric disease prior to delivery may be especially vulnerable to postpartum hemorrhage outcomes but little is known on this topic. Barriers to studying this population exist and add to knowledge gaps. The goal of this study is to determine the clinical characteristics and frequency of complications within 1 year of a postpartum hemorrhage diagnosis and the psychiatric sequelae within 7 days of a postpartum hemorrhage diagnosis in mothers with a pre-existing mental health diagnosis prior to delivery versus those without. Methods/design: This is a multicenter retrospective observational cohort study using TriNetX, a de-identified electronic health record database. The following electronic health record data were collected and evaluated in postpartum females who were billed for either a vaginal or cesarean delivery: age, race, ethnicity, diagnostic codes, medication codes, and number of deaths. Results: We included 10,649 subjects (6994 (65.7%) no mental health diagnosis and 3655 (34.3%) pre-existing mental health diagnosis). Haloperidol administration (118 (3.2%) versus 129 (1.8%), p &lt; 0.001) was more prevalent in subjects with a pre-existing mental health diagnosis. Adjusting for demographics, pre-existing mental health diagnoses were associated with complications within 1 year after postpartum hemorrhage diagnosis (OR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.26–1.52, p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion: Having a mental health disorder history is associated with a higher odds of developing subsequent complications within 1 year of postpartum hemorrhage diagnosis. Mothers with a pre-existing mental health disorder have a significantly higher frequency of certain severe postpartum hemorrhage sequelae, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, retained placenta, sickle cell crisis, and need for mechanical ventilation/tracheostomy up to 1 year after delivery. Medications such as haloperidol were ordered more frequently within 7 days of a postpartum hemorrhage diagnosis in these mothers as well. Further research is needed to understand and manage the unique consequences of postpartum hemorrhage in this vulnerable maternal population.

Twitter Communication During an Outbreak of Hepatitis A in San Diego, 2016–2018

Objectives. To examine how and what information is communicated via social media during an infectious disease outbreak. Methods. In the context of the 2016 through 2018 hepatitis A outbreak in San Diego County, California, we used a grounded theory–based thematic analysis that employed qualitative and quantitative approaches to uncover themes in a sample of public tweets (n = 744) from Twitter, a primary platform used by key stakeholders to communicate to the public during the outbreak. Results. Tweets contained both general and hepatitis A–specific information related to the outbreak, restatements of policy and comments critical of government responses to the outbreak, information with the potential to shape risk perceptions, and expressions of concern regarding individuals experiencing homelessness and their role in spreading hepatitis A. We also identified misinformation and common channels of content driving themes that emerged in our sample. Conclusions. Public health professionals may identify real-time public risk perceptions and concerns via social media during an outbreak and target responses that fulfill the informational needs of those who seek direction and reassurance during times of uncertainty.

Maternal hypothyroxinemia alters the immune function of the adipose tissue in the adult the progeny

Abstract Obesity and thyroid hormone deficiency are global problems. Chile has 31,2% of obesity. Obesity is characterized by adipose tissue, that’s able to influence the immune system. Gestational environment can increase the offspring susceptibility to have obesity. It’s been suggested that maternal hypothyroxinemia (HTX) could be a factor for obesity development in the offspring imprinting the adipose tissue contributing to the altered immune response seen in HTX progeny. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of HTX in adipose tissue in the progeny and its influence on the adipocyte immune function. For this purpose, weight and body fat content of the offspring gestated or not under HTX using In vivo MRI was asess. Area and number of adipocytes from offspring conditions was evaluated using a deep convolutional neural network approach. Cell infiltration was also analyzed. Expression of cytokines as PPARs and leptin were evaluated. Adipose tissue infiltrating cells were analyzed by FACS. In vitro, the differentiation capacity of control and HTX pre-adipocytes using Oil red staining and quantification and measure adipokine an cytokine production by these cells was evaluated. We show that the HTX offspring present an increased body fat content. Image analysis showed an increase in the number and area of the HTX adipocytes. An increased capacity of HTX pre-adipocytes to differentiate to adipocytes was seen. Alteration in the expression of cytokines, PPARs and leptin and an increase in cell infiltration with more predominant activated CD4+ T cells and monocytes was observed. This work proves that maternal HTX induces alterations of the adipose tissue of the progeny that could contribute to the susceptibility of the HTX to autoimmune diseases.

Carbon−Carbon Bond Formation <i>via</i> the Transmetalation of an Alkenyl Group on Azazirconacyclopentene

The transmetalation of azazirconacyclopentene 1, prepared by inserting alkyne 8 into azazirconacyclopropane 7, was realized, and the zirconium−carbon bond of complex 1 was transformed to a carbon−carbon bond using a copper(I) salt. Thus, both allyl and formyl groups can be introduced into alkyne carbons in a highly stereoselective manner in a one-pot reaction.

[Ultrastructural observations on the presence of stereocilia in myoblasts of Scyllium stellare].

Many Authors described primary 9+0 cilia in different tissue of different animal species. In relation to the study on the ultrastructural architecture of the embryonic heart of a elasmobranch "Scyllium stellare", we saw some primary 9+0 cilia in very undifferentiated heart tissue. The hearts dissected from the Scyllium stellare embryo at 6 months of gestation, were processed for the observations at the transmission electron microscope. The cilia are found in deep invagination of the plasma membrane, near the Golgi complex and in the perinuclear region. Various functions have been postulated for the primary 9+0 cilia.
