Ontologies listed in the OBO Foundry are often regarded as reliable choices to be reused but ontology interoperability of them remains unknown. This study evaluated the resolvability of URIs and consistency of axioms in the OBO Foundry library, BFO ontology, and CIDO ontology. All had nonresolvable URIs, but the OBO library and the CIDO had additional interoperability issues regarding the use of incorrect prefixes, mixing up with ontologies, and inconsistency in the use of property. These detected issues reflected the real-world common problems that were not significant from human beings’ point of view but hindered the machine-processability of ontologies. The assessment performed in this study was automated and enables scale-up against more metrics over more ontologies, which remains future work.

Journal Article; This paper introduces the evaluation report after fostering a Standard-based Interoperability Framework (SIF) between the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital (VRUH) Haemodialysis (HD) Unit and 5 outsourced HD centres in order to improve integrated care by automatically sharing patients' Electronic Health Record (EHR) and lab test reports. A pre-post study was conducted during fourteen months. The number of lab test reports of both emergency and routine nature regarding to 379 outpatients was computed before and after the integration of the SIF. Before fostering SIF, 19.38 lab tests per patient were shared between VRUH and HD centres, 5.52 of them were of emergency nature while 13.85 were routine. After integrating SIF, 17.98 lab tests per patient were shared, 3.82 of them were of emergency nature while 14.16 were routine. The inclusion of a SIF in the HD Integrated Care Process has led to an average reduction of 1.39 (p=0.775) lab test requests per patient, including a reduction of 1.70 (p=0.084) in those of emergency nature, whereas an increase of 0.31 (p=0.062) was observed in routine lab tests. Fostering this strategy has led to the reduction in emergency lab test requests, which implies a potential improvement of the integrated care. Yes

The aim of this study was to evaluate changes and relationships between mood states, training volume and perception of effort in adults during an eight-week strength-training programme. Twenty-one male adults (age 30.19 ± 8.65 years; height 173.56 ± 7 cm; weight 78.07 ± 10.82 kg) took part in the study. Quantitative monitoring of the training volume, the profile of mood states (POMS) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were self-evaluated weekly, i.e. eight times in total. Analysis showed that a well-planned training volume resulted in positive changes of POMS over the eight weeks (p < .05); there was a decrease in the rate of depression and fatigue (p < .05). Positive correlations between evolution of POMS and evolution of volume training were observed (p < .05). In summary, changes in RPE were correlated with changes in POMS over the training programme. Thus, the use of psychological indicators can contribute to a better planning of training volume in adults. These findings may be helpful to coaches in prescribing an optimal training volume for adults. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar los cambios y las relaciones entre los estados de ánimo, el volumen de entrenamiento y la percepción de esfuerzo en adultos durante un programa de entrenamiento de fuerza de ocho semanas. Se seleccionaron 21 hombres adultos (30.19 ± 8.65 años; altura de 173.56 ± 7.0 cm; peso 78.07 ± 10.82 kg). Se controló el volumen de entrenamiento, el perfil de estados de ánimo (POMS) y la percepción subjetiva del esfuerzo (PSE) a lo largo de las ocho semanas. El análisis mostró que un volumen de entrenamiento bien planificado tuvo como respuesta la disminución en Depresión y Fatiga (p < .05). A su vez, se mostró una correlación positiva entre la evolución del POMS y la evolución del volumen de entrenamiento a lo largo del tiempo (p < .05); y entre el POMS y la PSE (p < .05). Por lo tanto, el uso de indicadores psicológicos puede contribuir a una mejor planificación del volumen de entrenamiento en los adultos. Estos hallazgos pueden ser útiles a los entrenadores con el fin de prescribir un volumen de entrenamiento óptimo en adultos.

Objective: One important concept in informatics is data which meets the principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR). Standards, such as terminologies (findability), assist with important tasks like interoperability, Natural Language Processing (NLP) (accessibility) and decision support (reusability). One terminology, Solor, integrates SNOMED CT, LOINC and RxNorm. We describe Solor, HL7 Analysis Normal Form (ANF), and their use with the high definition natural language processing (HD-NLP) program. Methods: We used HD-NLP to process 694 clinical narratives prior modeled by human experts into Solor and ANF. We compared HD-NLP output to the expert gold standard for 20% of the sample. Each clinical statement was judged “correct” if HD-NLP output matched ANF structure and Solor concepts, or “incorrect” if any ANF structure or Solor concepts were missing or incorrect. Judgements were summed to give totals for “correct” and “incorrect”. Results: 113 (80.7%) correct, 26 (18.6%) incorrect, and 1 error. Inter-rater reliability was 97.5% with Cohen’s kappa of 0.948. Conclusion: The HD-NLP software provides useable complex standards-based representations for important clinical statements designed to drive CDS.
