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

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 [22.sup.0]-[28.sup.6] weeks (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 [22.sup.0]-[23.sup.6] weeks 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 [26.sup.0]-[28.sup.6] weeks, 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. Key words: preterm, neonatal outcomes, quality improvement, sustainability, necrotizing enterocolitis, low gestational age. En neonatalogie, les initiatives d'amelioration de la qualite ont donne des resultats positifs, mais peu de programmes se sont averes etre durables. Nous avons evalue une initiative en cours pour l'amelioration de la qualite a l'echelle nationale (Evidence-based Practice for Improving Quality Phase 3 (EPIQ-3)) quant aux resultats pour les nouveau-nes prematures d'age gestationnel (AG) compris entre [22.sup.0] et [28.sup.6] semaines (c.-a-d., de 22 semaines et 0 jour de gestation a 28 semaines et 6 jours de gestation). Nous avons etudie les donnees provenant de 7459 nouveau-nes admis dans 25 centres canadiens de 2013 a 2017. Nous avons evalue les tendances quant a la mortalita et aux etats morbides majeurs. Le nombre de nouveau-nes d'AG compris entre [22.sup.0] et [23.sup.6] semaines a augmente de 90 en 2013 a 139 en 2017, sans variations notables dans les autres categories d'AG. Dans la cohorte complete, les probabilites de la survenue d'un resultat compose--de la mortalite ou d'un etat morbide majeur--(rapport de cotes ajuste (RCA) de 0,72; intervalle de confiance (IC) a 95 % de 0,61 a 0,84) et d'une enterocolite necrosante (RCA de 0,66; IC a 95 % de 0,49 a 0,89) etaient moins elevees en 2017 qu'en 2013. Nous avons observe une diminution marquee des probabilites de la survenue d'un resultat compose (RCA de 0,93; IC a 95 % de 0,89 a 0,97) et d'une enterocolite necrosante (RCA de 0,89; IC a 95 % de 0,82 a 0,96) une annee sur l'autre. Dans le sous-groupe de nouveau-nes d'AG compris entre 260 et 286 semaines, nous avons observe une diminution des probabilites de la survenue d'un resultat compose (RCA de 0,63; IC a 95 % de 0,51 a 0,79), d'une enterocolite necrosante (RCA de 0,44; IC a 95 % de 0,26 a 0,73) et d'une infection nosocomiale (RCA de 0,64; IC a 95 % de 0,49 a 0,84). Le programme EPIQ-3, une collaboration multidisciplinaire a l'echelle nationale, permettait d'ameliorer les resultats chez les nouveau-nes prematures, avec des ameliorations durables sur 5 ans.

Abstract

In this paper we have investigated an LRS Bianchi I anisotropic cosmological model of the universe by taking time varying $G$ and $\Lambda$ in the presence of bulk viscous fluid source described by full causal non-equilibrium thermodynamics. We obtain a cosmological constant as a decreasing function of time and for $m, n > 0$, the value of cosmological ``constant'' for this model is found to be small and positive which is supported by the results from recent supernovae observations., Comment: 9 pages, LaTex, typos added

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

Orthodontic tooth mobility is discussed in this article, and the numerous concepts or theories of movement of tooth and the phases through which a tooth undergoes after application of forces. The effect of orthodontic pressure exerted on the dental architecture promotes movement of tooth through remodeling, which is the growth and resorption of alveolar bone. These forces can either be light forces or heavy forces depending upon their magnitudes. Biological aspects of tooth movement changes in accordance with the magnitude, force, time span and direction of force exerted. Variations in force application can be decided based on the kind of movement of tooth desired. These forces result in complex physiological events, cellular events in the surrounding tissues and, release of various chemical mediators to re-establish the equilibrium which gets interrupted by applying forces. Recently, many researches are going on how to enhance the speed of movement of the tooth with light forces so as to reduce the damage caused by the heavy forces, reduce the treatment time overall and treatment planning which results in minimal adverse effects.

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.

Abstract

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate if the presence of a physician in the neonatal transport team (NTT) affects transport-related outcomes and procedural success. Design Retrospective cohort study with propensity score matching. Setting Canadian national study. Patients Neonatal transports from nontertiary centres between January 2014 and December 2017. 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

Background Very preterm infants are at high risk of death or severe morbidity. The objective was to determine the significance of severe congenital heart defects ( CHDs ) for these risks. Methods and Results This cohort study included infants from 10 countries born from 2007–2015 at 24 to 31 weeks’ gestation with birth weights CHDs were defined by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision ( ICD‐9 ) and Tenth ( ICD‐10 ) codes and categorized as those compromising systemic output, causing sustained cyanosis, or resulting in congestive heart failure. The primary outcome was in‐hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were neonatal brain injury, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and retinopathy of prematurity. Adjusted and propensity score–matched odds ratios ( ORs ) were calculated. Analyses were stratified by type of CHD , gestational age, and network. A total of 609 (0.77%) infants had severe CHD and 76 371 without any malformation served as controls. The mean gestational age and birth weight were 27.8 weeks and 1018 g, respectively. The mortality rate was 18.6% in infants with CHD and 8.9% in controls (propensity score–matched OR , 2.30; 95% CI , 1.61–3.27). Severe CHD was not associated with neonatal brain injury, necrotizing enterocolitis, or retinopathy of prematurity, whereas the OR for bronchopulmonary dysplasia increased. Mortality was higher in all types, with the highest propensity score–matched OR (4.96; 95% CI, 2.11–11.7) for CHD causing congestive heart failure. While mortality did not differ between groups at OR for mortality in infants with CHD increased to 10.9 (95% CI, 5.76–20.70) at 31 weeks’ gestational age. Rates of CHD and mortality differed significantly between networks. Conclusions Severe CHD is associated with significantly increased mortality in very preterm infants.

Abstract

Introduction: South Asians have a high incidence of type 2 diabetes(DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Women with DM may have greater CVD risk compared to men with DM and women without DM. No study has determined whether the incidence or progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, a measure of atherosclerosis burden, differs between South Asian men and women with DM. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that CAC progression is greater in women with DM as compared to men with DM and women without DM. Methods: We used the data from the MASALA study, a community-based prospective cohort of South Asians from 2 clinical sites without CVD at baseline. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of diabetic participants who were reassessed after 5 years and compared with those without diabetes. We classified incident CAC as any CAC at exam 2 in a participant who had no CAC at baseline. To examine the progression of CVD risk factors over time, we compared change in CAC score, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c and lipid levels amongst the diabetic and non-diabetic population by sex. We conducted multivariable linear regression models stratified by diabetes status to determine whether sex was independently associated with change in CAC score and other CVD risk factors. Results: Of 749 participants who were seen in follow-up, 176 (23%) had diabetes at baseline, 65% were men, and mean age was 58 years. Approximately 64% women with DM vs. 28% men with DM had CAC=0, and men had higher median CAC score (49 (IQR 0-247) vs. 0 (IQR 0-46, p Conclusion: In this South Asian population, change in CAC score was lower in women with DM than in men with DM, and was comparable to women without DM. These results suggest among South Asians with DM, overall CVD risk may be greater in men than in women.Continued follow-up of the MASALA cohort will determine whether there are sex differences in CVD outcomes.

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 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

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children younger than 5 years. We report the changes in neonatal outcomes and care practices among very preterm infants in Canada over 14 years within a national, collaborative, continuous quality-improvement program. METHODS: We retrospectively studied infants born at 23–32 weeks’ gestation who were admitted to tertiary neonatal intensive care units that participated in the Evidence-based Practice for Improving Quality program in the Canadian Neonatal Network from 2004 to 2017. The primary outcome was survival without major morbidity during the initial hospital admission. We quantified changes using process-control charts in 6-month intervals to identify special-cause variations, adjusted regression models for yearly changes, and interrupted time series analyses. RESULTS: The final study population included 50 831 infants. As a result of practice changes, survival without major morbidity increased significantly (56.6% [669/1183] to 70.9% [1424/2009]; adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06–1.10, per year) across all gestational ages. Survival of infants born at 23–25 weeks’ gestation increased (70.8% [97/137] to 74.5% [219/294]; adjusted OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02–1.05, per year). Changes in care practices included increased use of antenatal steroids (83.6% [904/1081] to 88.1% [1747/1983]), increased rates of normothermia at admission (44.8% [520/1160] to 67.5% [1316/1951]) and reduced use of pulmonary surfactant (52.8% [625/1183] to 42.7% [857/2009]). INTERPRETATION: Network-wide quality-improvement activities that include better implementation of optimal care practices can yield sustained improvement in survival without morbidity in very preterm infants.

Abstract

To develop and validate an itemized costing algorithm for in-patient neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) costs for infants born prematurely that can be used for quality improvement and health economic analyses.We sourced patient resource use data from the Canadian Neonatal Network database, with records from infants admitted to 30 tertiary NICUs in Canada. We sourced unit cost inputs from Ontario hospitals, schedules of benefits, and administrative sources. Costing estimates were generated by matching patient resource use data to the appropriate unit costs. All cost estimates were in 2017 Canadian dollars and assigned from the perspective of a provincial public payer. Results were validated using previous estimates of inpatient NICU costs and hospital case-cost estimates.We assigned costs to 27 742 infants born prematurely admitted from 2015 to 2017. Mean (SD) gestational age and birth weight of the cohort were 31.8 (3.5) weeks and 1843 (739) g, respectively. The median (IQR) cost of hospitalization before NICU discharge was estimated as $20 184 ($9739-51 314) for all infants; $11 810 ($6410-19 800) for infants born at gestational age of 33-36 weeks; $30 572 ($16 597-$51 857) at gestational age of 29-32 weeks; and $100 440 ($56 858-$159 3867) at gestational age of29 weeks. Cost estimates correlated with length of stay (r = 0.97) and gestational age (r = -0.65). The estimates were consistent with provincial resource estimates and previous estimates from Canada.NICU costs for infants with preterm birth increase as gestation decreases and length of stay increases. Our cost estimates are easily accessible, transparent, and congruent with previous cost estimates.

Abstract

Neonates born very preterm (before 32 weeks’ gestational age), are a significant public health concern because of their high-risk of mortality and life-long disability. In addition, caring for very preterm neonates can be expensive, both during their initial hospitalization and their long-term cost of permanent impairments. To address these issues, national and regional neonatal networks around the world collect and analyse data from their constituents to identify trends in outcomes, and conduct benchmarking, audit and research. Improving neonatal outcomes and reducing health care costs is a global problem that can be addressed using collaborative approaches to assess practice variation between countries, conduct research and implement evidence-based practices. The International Network for Evaluating Outcomes (iNeo) of neonates was established in 2013 with the goal of improving outcomes for very preterm neonates through international collaboration and comparisons. To date, 10 national or regional population-based neonatal networks/datasets participate in iNeo collaboration. The initiative now includes data on >200,000 very preterm neonates and has conducted important epidemiological studies evaluating outcomes, variations and trends. The collaboration has also surveyed >320 neonatal units worldwide to learn about variations in practices, healthcare service delivery, and physical, environmental and manpower related factors and support services for parents. The iNeo collaboration serves as a strong international platform for Neonatal-Perinatal health services research that facilitates international data sharing, capacity building, and global efforts to improve very preterm neonate care.

Abstract

Background: Oral cavity cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths in developing countries. Most of the failures occur due to locoregional recurrence. The present study was conducted to find out the pattern of recurrences and factors responsible for that in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Methods: The study was conducted at Gujarat cancer and research institute Ahmedabad, India. Total 260 patients were evaluated in study from year January 2013 to December 2013 retrospectively. Two year follow up was studied to find out the pattern of failure in terms of local, regional (nodal) and systemic. Results: Oral cavity SCC has high chances of local failure when removed inadequately during surgery. Perineural spread, lymphovascular involvement and perinodal spread are important prognostic factors. Conclusions: Most patients of oral cavity cancer present in advanced stages. Close margins and perineural involvement are responsible for local recurrences while perinodal spread and lymphovascular involvement contributes to nodal recurrences. Tobacco consumption is important responsible factor.
