Abstract

We aimed to characterize knowledge and attitudes about rapid whole genome sequencing (rWGS) implementation of a broad constituency of healthcare professionals at hospitals participating in a statewide initiative to implement rWGS for hospitalized neonates and children up to 18 years of age meeting clinical criteria for testing. We surveyed 307 healthcare professionals from eight hospitals about their knowledge and attitudes regarding rWGS. We examined survey internal reliability using exploratory factor analysis and associations between respondent characteristics and attitudes toward rWGS with linear regression. We thematically analyzed free-text responses. Views about rWGS implementation in respondents’ own setting and respondents’ personal capability to implement rWGS were generally neutral (M = 3.44 (SD = 0.74); M = 3.30 (SD = 0.85), respectively). Views about the potential for rWGS in clinical practice were overall positive (M = 4.12 (SD = 0.57)). The degree of positivity of attitudes about rWGS was strongly influenced by perceived knowledge, clinical or non-clinical role, concerns about future insurance coverage for rWGS as a first-tier test, and future adverse impact of genomics health information on patients or families. We identified several actionable factors influencing attitudes toward rWGS of pediatric healthcare professionals. Expanded education and ongoing implementation research are needed for the full potential of rWGS in pediatrics to be realized.

Abstract

In the present study, the catalyst anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) quantum dots (QDs) of size ∼ (2.50–4.00)nm was successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The formation of TiO2: QDs has been established by UV–Vis spectroscopy and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Here, we report the catalytic action of TiO2:QDs on de/re-hydrogenation properties of magnesium hydride (MgH2/Mg). By catalyzing MgH2 through this catalyst, the onset desorption temperature of MgH2 gets reduced significantly from ∼360 °C (for ball-milled MgH2) to ∼260 °C. Moreover, the Mg-TiO2: QDs sample absorbed a significant amount of hydrogen up to ∼6.10 wt% in just 77sec at 280 °C. Improved rehydrogenation kinetics has been found even at lower temperatures by absorbing ∼5.30 wt% in 74 s at 225 °C and ∼5.0 wt% of hydrogen in 30 min at 100 °C. Based on structural,.microstructural, and XPS investigations, a feasible mechanism for improved hydrogen sorption and cyclic stability in MgH2 catalyzed with TiO2:QDs has been explained and discussed. To our knowledge, no studies have been carried out on the sorption of hydrogen in MgH2 catalyzed by TiO2:QDs.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: It is difficult to achieve a reliable bond between the titanium and veneering porcelain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength between titanium ceramic crowns. Materials and Methods: The surfaces of titanium copings were divided in two groups. Group A sandblasted with 250 um (n = 10) and Group B without sandblasting (n = 10). Low-fusing porcelain was bonded over copings. A universal testing machine was used to determine the fracture load (N) of the crowns. All data were compared using Student′s t-test. Results: There was a significant difference in fracture toughness between two groups (P = 0.05). The mean value of fracture strength for Group A was 721.66 N and for Group B was 396.39 N. Conclusions: Sandblasting improves the bond strength between titanium, and ceramic, mechanical bonding plays a crucial role in the bonding between titanium and ceramic.

Interventions Comparison of transports conducted by NTTs with physicians (MD Group) and without physicians (noMD Group). Main outcome measures The primary outcome was the change in patient acuity as measured by the transport risk index of physiologic severity (TRIPS) score. Secondary outcomes included mortality within 24 hours of NICU admission, clinical complications during transport, procedural success, and stabilization time. Results Among 9,703 eligible cases, 899 neonatal transports attended by NTTs with physicians were compared to 899 neonatal transports without physicians using propensity score matching. No differences were seen in the improvement of TRIPS score or mortality ≤24 hours of NICU admission. The MD Group had more clinical complications (7.7% versus 5.0%, P=0.02). No differences were seen in success rates of invasive procedures. The MD Group had shorter stabilization times. In multivariable analysis, the MD Group was not a significant predictor for the improvement in TRIPS score after adjustment for covariates. Conclusions Neonatal transports conducted by teams including physicians compared to teams without physicians, did not have higher improvement in TRIPS scores and had similar success rates for procedures. These results provide insights for the planning of the structure and training of specialized interfacility neonatal transport programs.

Abstract

Background: Different risk factors associated with adolescent suicide attempts have been identified across the globe. Relatively few Indian studies are available on this data. Aims: To study the sociodemographic and clinical variables associated with adolescent suicide attempts. Setting and design: tertiary care hospital, retrospective descriptive study. Materials and methods: Participants: - ninety four patients admitted in the pediatric units who had attempted suicide by ingestion. A pretested, semi-open-ended questionnaire was filled for each patient. This data was then compiled and analyzed using statistical methods. Results: Among a total of 94 cases, sociodemographic patient risk factors found were:- male to female ratio is 1:3.5. Mean age found was 14.64 years. 58.5% were in age of 15 - 18 yrs., 54.9% were unemployed and 43.6% were educated only till middle school. Nuclear families with family members more than 5, siblings more than 3, a lower income class, single parents (10.6%), broken homes (9.6%), a history of suicide and alcoholism in family (9.6%) were found as familial risk factors associated with suicide attempts. The interpersonal problems (29%) and depression (19.1%) were the important psychological risk factors. Period prevalence was ≈1 per 1000. Case fatality rate was found to be 2.12 Conclusion: The adolescents used the method of deliberate self-harm only to get attention and had no intention of really dying. This was the distress call used by these adolescents.

Abstract

Quality improvement initiatives in neonatology have yielded positive results; however, few programs have demonstrated sustainability. We evaluated an ongoing, national quality improvement initiative (Evidence-based Practice for Improving Quality Phase 3 (EPIQ-3)) on outcomes of preterm neonates with a gestational age (GA) of 220–286weeks (i.e., from 22 weeks and 0 days of gestation to 28 weeks and 6 days of gestation). Data from 7459 neonates admitted to 25 Canadian centers between 2013 and 2017 were studied. Trends in mortality and major morbidities were evaluated. The number of neonates with a GA of 220–236weeks increased from 90 in 2013 to 139 in 2017 without a significant change in any other GA categories. In the entire cohort, the odds of composite outcome of mortality or any major morbidity (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 0.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.61–0.84) and of necrotizing enterocolitis (AOR 0.66, 95% CI 0.49–0.89) were lower in 2017 than in 2013. When calculated per year, the odds of composite outcome (AOR 0.93, 95% CI 0.89–0.97) and odds of necrotizing enterocolitis (AOR 0.89, 95% CI 0.82–0.96) decreased significantly. Among the subgroup of neonates with a GA of 260–286weeks, the odds of composite outcome (AOR 0.63, 95% CI 0.51–0.79), necrotizing enterocolitis (AOR 0.44, 95% CI 0.26–0.73), and nosocomial infection (AOR 0.64, 95% CI 0.49–0.84) were reduced. The collaborative, multidisciplinary, nationwide EPIQ-3 program improved outcomes of preterm neonates, and the improvement was sustainable over 5 years.

Abstract

We aimed to characterize knowledge and attitudes about rapid whole genome sequencing (rWGS) implementation of a broad constituency of healthcare professionals at hospitals participating in a statewide initiative to implement rWGS for hospitalized neonates and children up to 18 years of age meeting clinical criteria for testing. We surveyed 307 healthcare professionals from eight hospitals about their knowledge and attitudes regarding rWGS. We examined survey internal reliability using exploratory factor analysis and associations between respondent characteristics and attitudes toward rWGS with linear regression. We thematically analyzed free-text responses. Views about rWGS implementation in respondents' own setting and respondents' personal capability to implement rWGS were generally neutral (M = 3.44 (SD = 0.74); M = 3.30 (SD = 0.85), respectively). Views about the potential for rWGS in clinical practice were overall positive (M = 4.12 (SD = 0.57)). The degree of positivity of attitudes about rWGS was strongly influenced by perceived knowledge, clinical or non-clinical role, concerns about future insurance coverage for rWGS as a first-tier test, and future adverse impact of genomics health information on patients or families. We identified several actionable factors influencing attitudes toward rWGS of pediatric healthcare professionals. Expanded education and ongoing implementation research are needed for the full potential of rWGS in pediatrics to be realized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background Recent studies have described the bifidobacterial composition of neonates at a species level; however, with advancing technologies we can gain insight into the diversity of the bifidobacterial microbiota residing within the infant gut. Objective To compare species and strain diversity of culturable bifidobacterial populations in faecal samples obtained from healthy term infants on three different feeding regimes. Study design In total, 51 healthy term infants were recruited for this study and divided equally into three different groups (n=17) based on their feeding regime during the first 4 weeks of life. Culturable bifidobacterial populations were analysed at week 1, week 4 and 6 months of age. Isolates were characterised to species level by 16s rRNA-internally transcribed spacer (ITS) gene sequence analysis and to strain level by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Results In total,173 bifidobacterial strains were detected across all three groups from 2295 isolates, 42% (72 of 173) of which were detected in the prebiotic-fed group, followed by 30% (52 of 173) and 28% (49 of 173) in the breastfed and non-prebiotic-fed groups, respectively. Surprisingly, only two of the 51 infants harboured an identical bifidobacterial strain which was not present in the other 49 infants. Prebiotic supplementation in the early neonatal period increased the prevalence of Bifidobacterium longum in infants, in addition to promoting strain diversity. B. longum was the dominant species recovered from all three groups during the first 6 months of life, followed by Bifidobacterium breve and Bifidobacterium bifidum . Conclusions This study reveals a hitherto unknown level of diversity at the strain level among bifidobacteria isolated from different infants and the influence prebiotic formula feeding has on the bifidobacterial population.

Abstract

Acid-base disturbances are frequently seen in acute kidney injury patients, common being mild anion gap metabolic acidosis. Similarly, electrolyte disturbances like hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia are common in acute kidney injury. Acute kidney injury occurring in intensive, and critical care setting have more complex acid-base and electrolyte disturbances with multiple mechanism and etiology. It is difficult to separate the acid-base effects critical illness from that of acute renal failure and in such setting quantitative physicochemical methods like strong ion difference help to understand the nature of disturbance. This review focuses on nature of acid-base electrolytes disturbances seen in acute kidney injury patients along with its mechanism and etiology.

Abstract

Objective The objective is to evaluate the association between antibiotic utilization and neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18 to 21 months' corrected age among extremely low gestational age neonates without culture-proven sepsis or necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Study Design We conducted a retrospective cohort study of infants born between April 2009 and September 2011 at <29 weeks' gestation and admitted to the neonatal intensive care units contributing data to the Canadian Neonatal Network. Multivariable analysis was performed to examine the primary composite outcome of death or significant neurodevelopmental impairment (sNDI) in infants with various antibiotic utilization rates (AURs). Result There were 1,373 infants who fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Compared with infants in the lowest AUR quartile (Q1), those in the highest quartile (Q4) had higher odds of death or sNDI (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 7.44; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.55, 12.2) and death (AOR = 39.3; 95% CI: 16.1, 95.9). Conclusion Our results indicate an association between high AUR and a composite outcome of death or adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18 to 21 months' corrected age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Quasioptical millimeter-wave band-pass filters using YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ high-T/sub c/ superconducting films were fabricated on MgO and LaAlO/sub 3/ substrates. Transmitted power through the filter was investigated in the 75 GHz to 110 GHz frequency range at temperatures ranging from 15 to 300 K. At 15 K the measured center frequency and the bandwidth of the superconducting filter were 92 GHz and 0.85 GHz, respectively. Measurements of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ filters were compared with similar filters fabricated using gold. At 15 K and 92 GHz, an improvement of 75% in the quality factor of the superconducting filter was obtained compared with a similar gold filter. >

Abstract

The effect of pretreatments on the morphology and properties of aluminum oxide thermally grown from NiCoCrAlY was investigated. The goal was to optimize process steps to produce a highly adherent, continuous, and insulating aluminum oxide. Two pretreatments were carried out, one in vacuum (about 0.0001 Torr) at 1350 K for 5 h, and the other consisting of deposition of a 1-micron thick Al2O3 film by activated reactive evaporation. Samples were subsequently oxidized thermally at 1000 C for 50 h at 0.5 Torr oxygen pressure. The two pretreatments were carried out on electron-beam evaporation NiCoCrAlY, about 120 microns thick, deposited on a superalloy turbine blade substrate. The results showed that the thermally grown oxide was significantly different in microstructure, surface topography and in its adherence to the NiCoCrAlY for the two pretreatments. Optimum results were obtained by combining the two pretreatments to produce an adherent, continuous, and insulating oxide film on the NiCoCrAlY-coated superalloy substrate.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: It is difficult to achieve a reliable bond between the titanium and veneering porcelain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength between titanium ceramic crowns. Materials and Methods: The surfaces of titanium copings were divided in two groups. Group A sandblasted with 250 um (n = 10) and Group B without sandblasting (n = 10). Low-fusing porcelain was bonded over copings. A universal testing machine was used to determine the fracture load (N) of the crowns. All data were compared using Student's t-test. Results: There was a significant difference in fracture toughness between two groups (P = 0.05). The mean value of fracture strength for Group A was 721.66 N and for Group B was 396.39 N. Conclusions: Sandblasting improves the bond strength between titanium, and ceramic, mechanical bonding plays a crucial role in the bonding between titanium and ceramic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Etch rate and uniformity are two basic indicators of how rf power is coupled into the wafer. In reactive ion etch of dielectric layers, wafer temperature also appears as a key parameter, due to the innate deposition. When electrostatic chuck is introduced, we have to study and control both rf coupling and wafer temperature to maximize etch rate and minimize nonuniformity. We first review the basics of the electrostatic chuck (e‐chuck) design and operation, and check them against Applied Materials’ polyimide monopolar e‐chuck. Then a simple circuit model is developed and fitted to the experimental results. The model says to have higher etch rate, one needs to couple more energy through the wafer center. This is achieved by using a thicker insulating process kit with low dielectric constant. The uniformity study shows for a given wafer, its etch rate variation across the wafer can be divided into three sections—center, B‐field corner, and very edge of the wafer, and each section is controlled by a key parameter. By optimizing these parameters, we are able to increase the etch rate and decrease its nonuniformity to 1.5% (1σ, 3 mm edge exclusion). Finally, wafer temperatures of both center and edge are studied and the delta between center and edge is reduced to ∼6 °C, and spin‐on‐glass etch rate nonuniformity is reduced to 1σ of 1.88%.

The measurement of wear, the coefficient of static and dynamic friction and the hardness of TiC–Al2O3, and Al2O3/TiC coatings deposited on stainless steel and TiC precoated stainless steel substrates are reported. The results of the studies are compared with similar studies on TiC coatings deposited by the activated reactive evaporation (ARE) process. It has been found that the wear in both types of TiC–Al2O3 and Al2O3/TiC coatings is a sum total of abrasive and adhesive contributions. The values of the coefficients of friction are higher compared to stainless steel TiC ARE wear couple.

Abstract

Increasing use has been made in thin film technology of physical and chemical phenomena occurring in low pressure plasmas which are convenient i n s i t usources of activated gas and energetic ions to be used as additional process parameters in film growth,structure, and properties. Energetic ions and/or activated species in the vapor phase are now employed in processes for surface treatment (ion nitriding and carburizing), deposition(sputtering, ion plating, activated reactive evaporation, and plasma polymerization) and also for etching (sputtering and plasma etching). In recent years, therefore, considerable efforts have been directed to the analysis of plasma conditions and their correlation with deposited film properties. In this paper, we present a review of plasma‐assisted physical vapor deposition processes (PAPVD) used for the deposition of refractory compounds for the two basic PAPVD processes, (i.e., activated reactive evaporation and reactive sputtering). The film growth mechanism and the role of plasmas in these processes will be compared in terms of three steps in deposition processes; synthesis of the deposition species, transport from source to substrate, and film growth.

Abstract

Considerable interest has been aroused in the synthesis of diamond films due to their potential applications in microelectronics and optoelectronics. Although synthesis of diamond films by a variety of chemical and plasma assisted chemical as well as physical vapor deposition techniques has been reported, the practical applications of these coatings are still very few. The basic reason limiting the applications of these coatings is the inability to deposit films with smooth surface morphology and desired optical and electrical properties at acceptable deposition rates. Published work on diamond films is reviewed to highlight the above issues.

Abstract

The objective is to investigate the relationship between the composition, microstructure, and microhardness of TiC and TiN coatings prepared over a range of process parameters using the activated reactive evaporation process. The composition was measured by Auger electron spectroscopy. The phase relationships and preferred orientation were obtained by x‐ray diffraction analysis. Microhardness and adhesion of the coatings were measured. The results show that the microhardness depends on the composition/stoichiometry, phases present, the preferred orientation, and possibly the grain size in the case of single‐phase coatings.
