Abstract:
Introduction and purpose of work: The contact between doctor and patient is an element that builds mutual trust, which translates into the quality and effectiveness of treatment. This is especially important for adolescent patients, who expect attention and understanding of their problems. In addition, they start visiting the doctor themselves, so it is very important that they do not become discouraged by the lack of understanding of the doctors and that they do not avoid visits in the future. Currently, the average age of a doctor in Poland is over 50 years. The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of a doctor's age on his contact with a teenage patient.Material and method: The results of the study were obtained on the basis of the questionnaire survey.Results: 54 respondents aged 16-19 participated in the study. The vast majority (64.8%) consider a person under 30 years of age to be a young doctor, 29.6% under 40 years of age. Almost 67% declare that it is more likely to visit a young doctor. 87% of respondents find it easier to establish contact with a younger medic. For 68.5% of respondents, a visit to a senior doctor is more embarrassing. 88.9% of teenagers find it easier to admit embarrassing matters to younger medics. 66.7% declare that for them being more practiced is more important than easier contact with doctor. Two out of three teenagers are more stressed about visiting older doctor.Conclusions: Teen patients definitely prefer visits to younger doctors. Despite the greater stress and resistance to visiting older, more experienced doctors, young patients choose them. Training for senior physicians on contact with young people should be considered to reduce the proportion of people avoiding medical appointments due to difficulties in making contact in the future.

Abstract:In these modern times where diseases, viral flu, and infections are too common for the human being, to tackle this problem sometimes it gets hard, as the patient has incomplete documents of their diagnostics in case the document get lost for certain reason or patient left some important reports at home, and carrying a file every single time when patients visit a doctor is quite a burden, and some doctors give fake medication to the patients, and as patient migrate to a new place and visits a doctor then that particular doctor would need all patients previous medication and hereditary diseases information if any, doctor has to go through the whole check-up in order to get any allergies for certain medication or any lab reports if there are missing any.

Abstract:
Improving health and reducing catastrophic healthcare expenditure for the poor and near-poor are the major concerns of the Vietnam Government. This research analyses the impacts of health insurance schemes for the poor and near-poor households in Vietnam on two aspects, including healthcare utilization and out-of-pocket expenditure. The study applies the zero-inflated model and pooled OLS regression on the data that is extracted from the Vietnam Household Living Standard Surveys in two years 2014 and 2016. The findings show that health insurance significantly increases the probability of having a doctor visit and the number of doctor visits for a health check or outpatient treatment. For inpatient treatment, insurance does not increase the probability of having a doctor visit or the number of doctor visits. Having insurance significantly reduces out-of-pocket expenditures for both inpatients and outpatients.

Abstract:
Background For many women in low socioeconomic status communities, limited health literacy is an obstacle to following medical guidance and engaging in health-promoting behaviours. Low health literacy skills are also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Design A health literacy intervention was designed through focus groups with women in low socioeconomic status communities. The primary health literacy issue identified was communication challenges at doctors’ visits. A unique intervention tailored to the participants’ preferences was designed consisting of three workshops conducted in community women’s groups in low socioeconomic status Jerusalem communities. The intervention aimed to increase patient–physician communication skills through doctor visit preparation and better visit management, improve perceived efficacy in patient–physician interaction and expand cardiovascular disease knowledge. Methods Questionnaires were completed before and 3 months after the intervention, assessing knowledge of cardiovascular disease risk factors and symptoms, self-report of behaviours in preparations for a doctor’s visit, and perceived efficacy in patient–physician interaction. Results A total of 407 women from low socioeconomic status communities completed questionnaires. Post-intervention, the percentage of women that reported preparing for doctors’ visits increased significantly. Women with initially low levels of perceived efficacy in patient–physician interaction showed a significant increase in perceived efficacy, while initially higher perceived efficacy in patient–physician interaction participants showed a decrease. Participants also demonstrated an increase in knowledge of several risk factors for cardiovascular disease and heart attack symptoms. Conclusions A community-based cardiovascular health literacy intervention improved cardiovascular knowledge and reported doctor visit preparation in low socioeconomic status women as well as increased perceived efficacy in patient–physician interaction among participants with low baseline perceived efficacy in patient–physician interaction. This may lead to improved health care utilisation, preventing chronic illness. Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, https://www.clinicaltrials.gov , registration number: NCT03203018

Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: To identify the types of patients who talk with their physicians as a result of Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) advertising. METHODS: Data were taken from a national survey, "Public Health Impact of Direct-to-Consumer Advertising of Prescription Drugs, July 2001- January 2002", conducted by researchers from Harvard Medical School. Participants (n = 3000) were interviewed by telephone. We constructed a conceptual framework consisting of outcomes (3 types of physician visits), intervention (DTC experience) and five groups of explanatory factors (health beliefs, demographics, health status, socioeconomic status and market factors). Data were analyzed with three multivariate stepwise logistic regressions. The three dependent variables were whether an advertisement for a prescription drug had ever prompted the patient to: 1) visit to discuss prescription drug, 2) visit to discuss new condition, and 3) visit to discuss treatment change. RESULTS: Out of all independent variables, only six variables consistently showed significant effects on the three dependent variables after adjusting for other variables. They were: 1) taking medication on regular basis, 2) having anxiety, 3) having high advertisement attentiveness, 4) viewing media as the most important source prompting one to talk with physician, 5) believing that DTC advertisements increased awareness of new treatment, and 6) believing that DTC advertisements improved discussion with health professionals. The six variables were the strongest predictors for DTC-prompted physician visits.CONCLUSIONS: Our nationally representative study found multiple factors were associated with different types of physician visits prompted by DTC advertisements. This information could be used to target those patients most likely to talk to their physicians as a result of DTC advertisements.

Allard, Mary Dorinda. "The effect of income on doctor visits." Thesis, Montana State University, 1993. http://etd.lib.montana.edu/etd/1993/allard/AllardM1993.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
Some health care experts suggest that people should receive health care based on "need" rather than on their ability to pay. Previous research has found that people with lower incomes use health facilities less than people with higher incomes when health status and age are taken into account and also that this tendency is lessening over time. This study supports the conclusion that income is still an important factor in determining whether people visit a doctor, which indicates that the income effect is stronger than the effect of higher opportunity cost of time. Researchers trying to determine whether medical care is distributed equitably have not looked at the type of doctor seen by the patient; the type of doctor is important because the quality of care matters and specialists can provide higher quality care than general practitioners. In order to determine whether health care is distributed by "need" or by ability to pay, it is necessary to make adjustments for the quality of care.

Studien belyser eventuella könsmönster i den fria leken på fritidshemmet. Vårt syfte med studien är att studera barns val av lek, hur de leker under den fria leken på fritidshemmet, samt undersöka och belysa om det finns någon koppling mellan kön och lek. För att nå vårt resultat använde vi oss av en kvalitativ studie i form av ostrukturerade observationer, detta val gjordes för att inhämta så mycket information som möjligt i barnens naturliga lekmiljö. Våra observationer genomfördes på ett fritidshem med barn i åldern fem till sex år från tre olika förskoleklasser. För att tolka och analysera empirin i studien utgick vi från ett socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv. Resultatet visar att barns fria lek i stor utsträckning utgår från ett bestämt och traditionellt könsmönster. Samtidigt fann vi att en del barn vågade bryta mot de stereotypiska och traditionella könsmönster som fanns på fritidshemmet.

Pye, Theresa. "Impact of Group Medical Visits for Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus." UNF Digital Commons, 2011. http://digitalcommons.unf.edu/etd/378.

Abstract:
Diabetes is a condition that is primarily self-managed and lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise, and weight management are necessary to reduce morbidity and mortality. Motivation to implement lifestyle modifications through self management is an integral part of disease management and studies have shown group medical visits are more effective than individual appointments in this patient population. The purpose of this project was to develop, implement and evaluate an evidencebased group medical visit program for up to a maximum of 8 adult patients with type 2 diabetes in a family practice setting for six months. Seven participants with abnormal A1C results accepted the invitation to attend group medical visits. Here surrounded by peers with the same diagnosis, they were able to learn and discuss methods to self manage their type 2 diabetes. At the conclusion post survey results indicate positive change in some lifestyle behaviors and improvement with hemoglobin A1C. However there was no improvement in weight management. A cost analysis reveals group medical visits may generate a small profit when compared to individual visits. Group medical visits may offer an effective means to motivate patients to make lifestyle change to reduce risk.

Abstract:
Bakgrunn: Røyking blir fortsatt betraktet som den viktigste forebyggbare årsak til død i ge land. Praktiserende leger er nøkkelpersoner innen tobakksforebygging. Enkel rådgiving, som minimal intervensjon, gitt av allmennleger øker andelen røykfrie pasienter signifikant. Kan en oppsøkende intervensjon gjennomført av en likemann være en egnet metode for å få leger til å ta opp tobakksbruk oftere og på en bedre måte, og kan denne undersøkelsen påvise dette? Hensikt: Hensikten med denne studien er: 1) Vurdere om primærlegene i Agder har endret praksis i perioden 2001-2004 med hensyn til hvor ofte og hvordan de tar opp tobakksbruk med sine pasienter og eventuelle hindringer for dette. 2) Undersøke om oppsøkende intervensjon er en egnet metode for å få leger til å endre praksis ved at de bidrar mer og bedre med individuell røykeintervensjon. Metode: Randomisert kontrollert studie for å undersøke om oppsøkende intervensjon er en egnet metode for å få leger til å endre praksis. Denne studien er sett i lys av en sammenliknende analyse av legenes røykeintervensjon og hindringer for dette i perioden 2001-2004. Resultat: Allmennlegene i Agder har endret praksis i perioden 2001 til 2004. Legene tar oftere opp tobakksbruk uten av pasientene har røykerelaterte symptomer, og det er færre hindringer både for å spørre om røykevaner og for å tilby hjelp til røykeslutt. Studien kan ikke bekrefte at oppsøkende intervensjonen er en egnet metode for å få leger til endre praksis ved at de bidrar mer og bedre med individuell røykeintervensjon. Konklusjon: I perioden 2001-2004 har det vært en signifikant endring i legenes røykeintervensjon og hindringer for dette. Studien kan ikke påvise at legene som fikk opplæringen ”Røykeslutt i praksis” bidrar mer med individuell røykeintervensjon enn kontrollgruppen, og det er heller ikke signifikante forkjeller på hindringer for en slik intervensjon
Background: Cigarette smoking is still considered the leading preventable cause of death in the western world. Physicians constitutes a key personnel in tobacco prevention. Brief advising, such as minimal intervention, performed by general practitioners, GPs, increases the number of smoke free patients significantly. The potential effect of outreach visits performed by a peer educator is a question to be studied. Objective: The objective of this study is: 1) Assesswhether the primary physicians in Agder, during the period 2001 to 2004, have changed their professional practice as tohow often and in which way they discuss smoking habits with their patients and possible barriers to stop them. 2) The study also seeks to determine whether outreach visits constitute an effective method to make GPs change their professional practice by contributing more and better to individual smoking cessation. Method: Randomised controlled study to determine whether outreach visits constitute an effective method to make GPs change their practice. This study is also viewed in the light of a comparative analysis of doctors’ attitude to tobacco prevention over the period 2001-2004. Result: During the period 2001-2004 the GPs in Agder have changed their professional practice. They discuss more frequently tobacco use with patients without smoke-related symptoms, and there are fewer barriers that keep them from asking about smoking habits and from offering assistance with smoking cessation. The effect of outreach visits in improving professional practice cannot be ascertained through this study. Conclusion: During the period 2001-2004 there has been a significant change in the GPs intervention work and fewer barriers to stop them. The GPs who received training through the program “Røykeslutt i praksis” do not contribute to individual smoke intervention any more than the control group. We were unable to detect any significant differences regarding barriers to such intervention

Full text
Abstract:
This research investigated students' construction of knowledge about the topics of magnetism and electricity emergent from a visit to an interactive science centre and subsequent classroom-based activities linked to the science centre exhibits. The significance of this study is that it analyses critically an aspect of school visits to informal learning centres that has been neglected by researchers in the past, namely the influence of post-visit activities in the classroom on subsequent learning and knowledge construction. Employing an interpretive methodology, the study focused on three areas of endeavour. Firstly, the establishment of a set of principles for the development of post-visit activities, from a constructivist framework, to facilitate students' learning of science. Secondly, to describe and interpret students' scientific understandings : prior t o a visit t o a science museum; following a visit t o a science museum; and following post-visit activities that were related to their museum experiences. Finally, to describe and interpret the ways in which students constructed their understandings: prior to a visit to a science museum; following a visit to a science museum; and following post-visit activities directly related to their museum experiences. The study was designed and implemented in three stages: 1) identification and establishment of the principles for design and evaluation of post-visit activities; 2) a pilot study of specific post-visit activities and data gathering strategies related to student construction of knowledge; and 3) interpretation of students' construction of knowledge from a visit to a science museum and subsequent completion of post-visit activities, which constituted the main study. Twelve students were selected from a year 7 class to participate in the study. This study provides evidence that the series of post-visit activities, related to the museum experiences, resulted in students constructing and reconstructing their personal knowledge of science concepts and principles represented in the science museum exhibits, sometimes towards the accepted scientific understanding and sometimes in different and surprising ways. Findings demonstrate the interrelationships between learning that occurs at school, at home and in informal learning settings. The study also underscores for teachers and staff of science museums and similar centres the importance of planning pre- and post-visit activities, not only to support the development of scientific conceptions, but also to detect and respond to alternative conceptions that may be produced or strengthened during a visit to an informal learning centre. Consistent with contemporary views of constructivism, the study strongly supports the views that : 1) knowledge is uniquely structured by the individual; 2) the processes of knowledge construction are gradual, incremental, and assimilative in nature; 3) changes in conceptual understanding are can be interpreted in the light of prior knowledge and understanding; and 4) knowledge and understanding develop idiosyncratically, progressing and sometimes appearing to regress when compared with contemporary science. This study has implications for teachers, students, museum educators, and the science education community given the lack of research into the processes of knowledge construction in informal contexts and the roles that post-visit activities play in the overall process of learning.

Abstract:
Le fleuve Loire a généré un paysage essentiel en France, tant en terne d' occupation humaine, d'aspect, que de représentations et de place dans l'histoire même du concept de paysage. Il est aussi, comme la plupart des motifs naturels en Europe, l' objet de discours sur la séparation d'avec l'homme, ce qui pose en corrélation des problèmes de gestion, et simplement d'entretien. Quatre mouvements participant à la construction du paysage sont habituellement retenus dans les recherches: géographique, artistique (peinture et pour la Loire surtout littérature), touristique et politico-administratif. Ils sont explorés dans un premier temps à une échelle globale, qui met en évidence le jeu de deux grands modèles, fonctionnant comme deux pôles dans les discours: une Loire royale, à aménager, policée; et une Loire sauvage, à ménager, écologique. Le souci de rechercher la spatialité de ces modèles, afin de répondre géographiquement à la question des problèmes d'entretien, conduit à ré-envisager ces modèles en les confrontant d'une part à la réalité de l'occupation humaine le long du fleuve (démographie et occupation du sol), d'autre part aux discours et aux pratiques des riverains, des habitants, par rapport aux représentations dominantes des quatre mouvements précédents. On est ainsi passé à une échelle locale, qui offre finalement une autre approche du concept de paysage, par le bas, dont les résultats sont des représentations de nature différente/

Abstract:
The topic of this thesis is on how text mining could be used on patient-reported symptom descriptions, and how it could be used to aid doctors in their diagnostic process. Healthcare delivery today is struggling to provide care to remote settings, and costs are increasing together with the aging population. The aid provided to doctors from text mining on patient descriptions is unknown.Investigating if text mining can aid doctors by presenting additional information, based on what patients who write similar things to what their current patient is writing about, could be relevant to many settings in healthcare. It has the potential to improve the quality of care to remote settings and increase the number of patients treated on the limited resources available. In this work, patient texts were represented using the Bag-of-Words model and clustered using the k-means algorithm. The final clustering model used 41 clusters, and the ten most important words for the cluster centroids were used as representative words for the cluster. An experiment was then performed to gauge how the doctors were aided in their diagnostic process when patient texts were paired with these additional words. The results were that the words aided doctors in cases where the patient case was difficult and that the clustering algorithm can be used to provide the current patient with specific follow-up questions.
Ämnet för detta examensarbete är hur text mining kan användas på patientrapporterade symptombeskrivningar, och hur det kan användas för att hjälpa läkare att utföra den diagnostiska processen. Sjukvården har idag svårigheter med att leverera vård till avlägsna orter, och vårdkostnader ökar i och med en åldrande population. Idag är det okänt hur text mining skulle kunna hjälpa doktorer i sitt arbete. Att undersöka om läkare blir hjälpta av att presenteras med mer information, baserat på vad patienter som skriver liknande saker som deras nuvarande patient gör, kan vara relevant för flera olika områden av sjukvården. Text mining har potential att förbättra vårdkvaliten för patienter med låg tillgänglighet till vård, till exempel på grund av avstånd. I detta arbete representerades patienttexter med en Bag-of-Words modell, och klustrades med en k-means algoritm. Den slutgiltiga klustringsmodellen använde sig av 41 kluster, och de tio viktigaste orden för klustercentroider användes för att representera respektive kluster. Därefter genomfördes ett experiment för att se om och hur läkare blev behjälpta i sin diagnostiska process, om patienters texter presenterades med de tio orden från de kluster som texterna hörde till. Resultaten från experimentet var att orden hjälpte läkarna i de mer komplicerade patientfallen, och att klustringsalgoritmen skulle kunna användas för att ställa specifika följdfrågor till patienter.

Abstract:
This thesis studies the effects of import competition from China and Eastern Europe on the health and fertility decisions of German individuals working in manufacturing. Individuals are matched with separate measures of exposure to competition from China and Eastern Europe, respectively. To isolate exogenous supply shocks from the origin, instrumental variables for competition from each of China and Eastern Europe are constructed. Results in Chapter 1 suggest that higher import competition worsens individual health via job displacement, wage decline, shortened employment duration, increased reliance on welfare and less future orientation, with Chinese import competition affecting individuals twice as much. Health declines as individuals increase their visits to the doctor, exercise less frequently and have a higher probability of developing chronic illness. Also, there is some evidence that individuals do not tend to become disabled but may be slowly pushed into chronic illness. Findings in Chapter 2 show that import competition negatively affects the individual’s probability of having children via reduced earnings, lower satisfaction with personal income and shortened employment duration. The chapter then investigates effects of import exposure by gender. Results show that male and female fertility choices differ upon rising import competition. Higher import exposure lowers female earnings and job autonomy, which in turn generates a lower opportunity cost of work, to the point where having children would become a more rewarding alternative for female workers. By contrast, increased import exposure negatively affects male workers’ fertility through reduced earnings and employment duration.

Hepatitis B patients may cause cirrhosis or liver cancer when the time goes by. Because hepatitis is an asymptomatic disease, the most important and efficient way to avoid cirrhosis or liver cancer is a good strategy of doctor-visit to monitor the progress of the disease. In order to let patient receive medical treatment immediately when hepatitis B becomes cirrhosis, doctors may consider increase the hostipal visit frequencies. On the other hand, patients may consider cutting down the number of visits or increase the revisit intervals to minimize the cost for medical examinations. In this study, we use Markov decision process model to optimize the doctor-visit strategy in various stages of the hepatitis B patients. We developed a framework to evaluate a series of decisions for the visit time intervals based on the stochastically progression process to find a trade-off setting with considering minimizing the visit frequency as well as shorten the non-diagnosis window period to optimize patients’ HBV disease monitoring policy. In this study, we use the risk status indicators of hepatitis patients and created an algorithm to find out the trend of value in patients test data. We set the different cost parameter and delayed diagnosis penalty cost to help model find the optimal doctor-visit strategy. The results indicate that the optimal doctor-visit strategy will have significant difference when the costs changed and found that it has different doctor-visit strategy among different patient groups. The results also showed that this study helps hepatitis B patients to get disease tracking efficiently and it will let the health care resources gets the better utilization.

Abstract:
AbstractAbsenteeism of government frontline health workers can prevent access to primary care, including outpatient care, pre- and postnatal care, deliveries, and vaccinations. As rates of absenteeism tend to be higher in lower-income areas, this issue has the potential to exacerbate the socioeconomic divide. Specifically in Punjab, Pakistan, government doctors posted to rural health clinics, called Basic Health Units (BHUs), were found to be absent two-thirds of the time. Health inspectors are employed to visit BHUs at least once a month to collect data from a paper-based register located at each BHU and ensure doctors are present. However, absenteeism of the government inspectors causes this system to break down. This case study follows the implementation of the “Monitoring the Monitors” program, which aimed to replace the paper-based record-keeping system with an app-based system that feeds an online dashboard system (for real-time aggregation and presentation of data). Conducting a large-scale randomized controlled trial, inspection rates increased from 25.5% to 51.9% after 6 months. After a year of operation, inspection rates were 33.8% in the treatment districts and 23.5% in control districts. An A/B test was used to measure the effect of a simple flagging system that notified senior health officials when health workers were absent during an inspection and showed an increase in doctor attendance from 23.6% to 41.3%. The government eventually adopted this system (rebranded as HealthWatch), and it is now one of the many apps being used to monitor frontline service providers.

Abstract:
The anxiety brought by the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic caused a lockdown across the world to ensure social distance. This has pushed health care services far from the reach of many people, especially people with other ailments other than COVID-19. Outpatients become reluctant to visit healthcare centres to avoid the long waiting time to consult a doctor. There are also the problems of scheduling and rescheduling of appointments between patients and doctors, which has affected communication between them. Many hospitals have restricted patients' visits to hospitals and encouraged patients to communicate with their doctors via mobile phones. This has necessitated for the design and development of an android-based application called Medipal that improves consultation and appointment scheduling processes between doctors and patients, as well as personal health record keeping by patients. The application also enables patients to personally keep their health information, thereby involving them in their health and wellness. The overall performance of the mobile application was satisfactory as the evaluation showed that it enabled users to save time and cost during appointment scheduling and consultation. The app was deemed useful as majority accepted that it made them more aware of their health information. The interface of the app was easily navigated as users were able to perform operations with ease. Further research and development can be carried out as this study creates a platform upon which better systems can be built. Keywords: Doctors, Healthcare, Medipal, Mobile Health Application, Mobile Technology, M-Health.

Abstract:
Pain is the most common cause of the elderly entering the medical system, and according to the survey, the elderly who visit the clinic due to chronic pain account for 44% (Tao et al., 2017). So the pain assessment for the elderly has become particularly important, but with the aging of the cognitive ability and behavior of the elderly, it has become difficult to communicate with doctors. This paper is based on the existing tools of pain assessment, starting from the interaction design based on the five senses, using questionnaire survey and in-depth interview, combining the cognitive thinking and behavior characteristics of the elderly. The design of tools of pain assessment suitable for the elderly was concluded, and finally the design scheme is proposed based on the conclusion.

Abstract:
There are many reasons for people to miss work; one of the leading contributors is low back pain (LBP), which is believed to affect 80% of the population at some point during their lifetime. Suffering from back pain is the chief complaint of 5% of people who visit the doctor in the US [1]. The total medical cost related to low back pain in the US exceeds 100 billion dollars every year [2]. The cause of LBP is still unclear. However, recent studies revealed that intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is closely related to LBP [3]. IVD transfers loads and allows the spine to move through torsion, bending or compression [4–6]. There are two main anatomic regions in IVD: nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosis (AF). The loss of notochordal cells in the NP region has been associated with the initiation of disc degeneration [7]. Our recent studies demonstrated that the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production of notochordal NP cells was much higher than that of the AF cells while mechanical loading promoted ATP release from IVD cells [8]. Extracellular ATP (eATP) is a powerful signaling molecule that can mediate a wide variety of biological responses, such as cell metabolism, survival, and growth by binding to the purinergic receptors: G protein coupled receptor (P2Y) or ligand-gated ionotropic receptor (P2X) [9]. In addition, eATP is often rapidly hydrolyzed by several families of ectonucleotidases [10–12]. The by-products of eATP hydrolysis include inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and phosphate (Pi) which are closely related to mineral crystal formation and tissue calcification [12–15]. PPi and Pi released from eATP hydrolysis may contribute to endplate calcification which has been associated with disc degeneration. However, eATP accumulation in the IVD has not been studied yet. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the accumulative level of eATP in the NP region of porcine IVD using a novel optical ATP sensor.

Abstract:
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients need to meet with their Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) approximately every four months. In-between these scheduled visits, patients may contact the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) via phone to express any health-related concerns. This often requires a phone evaluation before organizing an unscheduled appointment. Due to the sporadic nature of these phone calls, resources and time are often heavily affected. With the predicted increase of the adult CF patient population, there is a need for better ways to manage and educate patients on their condition. The aim of this ICT intervention is to reduce this effect by creating an online virtual Dr, that can be accessed by the patient from their own home. This Virtual Doctor (Dr) will generate a report and an initial evaluation that will be sent to the MDT to action. The patient is also provided with a response outlining when the team will be in contact. The system includes a Dr avatar with facial animations and 3D scene. The voice of the avatar is generated using Node.js along with the Amazon Web Services Polly. The Web Speech API speech recognition is used to provide the ability to recognize voice context from an audio input; in this case the patient's computer microphone. This allows for the patient's interaction with the avatar and the documentation of the answers. These answers are scored and used as a comparison to the patient's baseline health status. The patient's answers and scores are stored within a database and sent via email to the MDT for evaluation. The score informs the Virtual Dr's response and MDT report. It is anticipated that this tool will be of benefit to both patients and medical staff. By creating such a system, patients can learn about their own condition and health status, while improving time and resource management. A prototype of the system has been created in preparation for pilot testing with adult CF patients.

Abstract:
COVID-19 became a pandemic infecting more than 100 million people across the world and has been going on for over a year. A huge amount of data has been produced as electronic medical records in the form of textual data because of patient visits. Extracting this information may be very useful in better understanding the COVID-19 disease. However, challenges exist in interpreting the medical records typed as free text as doctors may use different terms to type in their observations. In order to deal with the latter, we created an ontology in Portuguese to describe the terms used in COVID-19 medical records in Brazil. In this paper, we present a brief overview of the ontology and how we are using it as the first step of a more complex NLP task.

Abstract:
Today, children and adolescents are participating heavily in organized athletics year-round. Each year, approximately one third of these children will experience a serious injury requiring a doctor’s or hospital visit. Physeal, or growth plate fractures, are one such type of overuse injury commonly seen in adolescents. At the knee joint, injuries in adolescents occur most often in the proximal region of the tibia as opposed to the middle or distal thirds of the tibia, or in the soft tissues of the joint, as seen in adults. While the exact reasons for this difference have not been directly and definitively quantified, several hypotheses have been suggested. They include differences in movement strategies, changes in limb inertial and material properties, and the timing of these changes in relation to one another. This work aims to compare the changes in and interaction of inertial properties of the lower leg and forces transmitted through the patellar tendon, along with tibiofemoral contact before, during, and after puberty. Forces were first determined using Kane’s method of dynamics in conjunction with an isometric knee extension study yielding separate adult and youth data. These results were then extended to a finite element analysis to load tibial models and investigate changes in stress and strain at the proximal tibia.
