Abstract:

The compliance of the canine trachea under positive and negative transmural pressures was measured in an in-vivo preparation. The average compliance values found in eight animals were 11.7×10−6 (dynes/cm2)−1 at zero transmural pressure and 4.9 and 6.9×10−6 (dynes/cm2)−1 at −20 and +20×103 dynes/cm2 transmural pressure, respectively. These compliances were significantly lower than those measured by others in excised preparations. Stress relaxation was noted at all pressure levels.

Abstract:

Background. Split bowel preparation is the best regimen for colonoscopy. However, the same-day regimen can represent a valid alternative, but its use is limited by concerns about its cleansing ability, and to date, no convincing data support its use for routine colonoscopies. Aim. To evaluate the cleansing, compliance, and adverse event rates of the same-day compared to the split regimen. Results. A systematic literature search and meta-analysis was performed. Ten studies were included for a total of 1807 patients (880 in the same-day group and 927 in the split group). Overall, 85.3% patients in the same-day group vs. 86.3% in the split group had an adequate cleansing. Compliance was high for both, although patients were more compliant with the split than with the same-day prep (89.7% for same-day vs. 96.6% for split regimen). Sleep disturbance was more frequent in the split group, while nausea and vomit were more frequent in the same-day group. In the subgroup analysis, polyethylene glycol obtained a better cleansing rate when given as a split dose, with similar compliance and adverse events rates with both regimens. Conclusion. Split and same-day regimens are both useful in bowel cleaning before colonoscopy with a different pattern of adverse events and better compliance for split preparations. Endoscopists can consider the same-day preparation as a valid alternative, especially when the split preparation does not fit the patients’ needs.

Abstract:

Objective. To analyze the effect of calcium carbonate preparations on malnutrition in preschool children. Methods. A total of 100 preschool malnourished children treated in our hospital from February 2020 to February 2021 were recruited and assigned to a calcium carbonate preparation group or calcium lactate preparation group via the random number table method, with 50 cases in each group. Outcome measures included bone content, malnutrition symptom scores, nutritional indices, urine calcium, patient compliance, and treatment satisfaction. Results. After treatment, the calcium carbonate preparation group showed higher content of right heel bone and bone density versus the calcium lactate preparation group ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, children given calcium carbonate preparation were associated with lower scores of malnutrition symptoms and higher serum calcium, ferritin, transferrin, prealbumin, and albumin levels versus those receiving calcium lactate preparation ( P < 0.05 ). Children in the calcium carbonate preparation group showed higher urine calcium levels than those in the calcium lactate preparation group after treatment (t = 17.640, 45.131, 18.168, 19.565, P < 0.05 ). A higher compliance (96.00%) and treatment satisfaction (98.00%) of children in the calcium carbonate preparation group was observed versus those in the calcium lactate preparation group (62.00%, 66.00%) (Z = 3.521, Z = 3.447, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. The calcium carbonate preparations show more enrichment in the amelioration of malnutrition in preschool children versus calcium lactate preparations.

Abstract:

Objectives: This study aims at measuring compliance to iron supplements because iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is worldwide problem among pregnant women, so Iron supplements are advised usually in once daily regimen but compliance to iron supplements therapy is a major problem due to possible side effects and long-term duration of therapy. Study Design: Retrospective questionnaire-based study. Setting: Mola Bakhsh Hospitals, Sargodha, Pakistan, Period: From February to December, 2018. Material & Methods: This study was design to check compliance to iron supplementation during pregnancy and various factors related to directly and indirectly noncompliance to iron supplementation. A total of 267 pregnant females were recruited in study. Data was collected through a questionnaire translated in local language. On this basis sample population was divided into three groups compliant, partially compliant and non-compliant major factors associated with the prevalence of anemia and non-compliance to iron supplements were education, side effects, financial issues, forgetfulness, personal beliefs, disliking of pharmaceutical preparation etc. Results: After thorough analysis it was found that iron deficiency anemia is prevalent in about 64% of females in the third trimester. Improvement in Hb level in third trimester compared to 1st trimester was taken as parameter for measurement of compliance. Conclusion: side effects due these iron supplements and certain human habits act as hurdle to fight anemia during pregnancy and to eradicate these hurdles certain steps like education of women about anemia, its causes, health implication and imparting nutritional education with special emphasis to improve dietary intake of proteins and iron.

Abstract:

Background: Inadequate bowel preparation can result in missed pathological lesions and cancellation of procedures thereby increasing the cost and delay in the diagnosis. Objectives: Thes aim of the study was to identify the potential predictors of inadequate bowel preparation using 2 liters of polyethylene glycol solution. Methodology: A prospective study was done, which included 138 consecutive patients who underwent colonoscopy over a period of 6 months. Patient’s demographics, medical history, and preparation quality were collected and compared. Factors associated with inadequate bowel preparation were identified by univariate statistics and multivariate logistical regression analysis. Results: Out of 138 colonoscopy procedure, 119 (86.2%) preparations were adequate and 19 (13.8%) were inadequate. The mean age of the patient was 52.62 (SD ±10.51) years. Out of which, 82 (59.4%) were male and 56 (40.6%) were female. In the multivariate regression analysis, constipation [adjusted OR 8.55, 95% CI 1.79-41.67] and non-compliance [adjusted OR 58.82, 95% CI 5.99-500] were independently associated with inadequate bowel preparation. Conclusion: Constipation, non-compliance, overweight, neurological disorders like stroke, dementia and age >60 years were associated with inadequate bowel preparation. Early identification of patients with a high risk of inadequate preparation can be salvaged with change in bowel cleaning strategy.

Abstract:

Abstract One hundred seventy-seven tracts in South Carolina were evaluated for compliance with site preparation Best Management Practices (BMPs). South Carolina Forestry Commission foresters evaluated compliance with BMPs in each of four categories of site preparation: (1) mechanical treatments, (2) herbicide applications, (3) prescribed burning, and (4) minor drainage. In addition, each site was evaluated for overall BMP compliance, which was based on the level of BMP compliance and evidence of off-site water quality impacts. Overall BMP compliance was 86.4%. Compliance was highest for mechanical (92.0%) and herbicide (88.3%) site preparation treatments and lowest for minor drainage (76.9%) and prescribed burning (70.4%). Eleven variables were analyzed to determine their influence on BMP compliance. Four variables were found to be significantly related to BMP compliance: (1)physiographic region, (2)proximity to streams, (3)percent slope, and (4) terrain type. The four significant variables described the increased risk involved in site preparing land that is in close proximity to streams. Noncompliance with BMPs was clearly focused on the Piedmont physiographic region where 22 of the 24 inadequate sites were located. South. J. Appl. For. 22(2):74-80.

Abstract:

SYNOPSIS There is a rich literature associated with the dichotomous decision to hire/not-hire tax preparation services. There is also some research assigning motivation to the decision to hire tax preparation services. However, no research has examined the underlying demographics and key perceptions of clients that do hire tax preparation professionals to determine which are associated with specific motivations to hire. We focus on the four most common motivations to hire a preparer found in extant literature (i.e., saving money, saving time, legal compliance, and protection from the IRS). Using survey data, we perform exploratory analysis using MANCOVA to discover what client demographics and perceptions underlie each motivation. Our most noteworthy finding is that client perceptions of tax advocacy are positively associated with all four focal motivations to hire. Our results also suggest that female clients, more than male clients, choose tax preparers with a desire to save time and to be legally compliant. In addition, taxpayers with children tend to be more concerned with legal compliance. We also find that taxpayers with relatively complex returns are less likely to hire a preparer to provide a legally compliant return and to gain protection from the IRS. Data Availability: The data are available from the authors upon request.

Abstract:

Abstract Background and study aims Oral sulphate solution (OSS) is a sulphate-based, low-volume bowel cleansing preparation taken in two doses of 500 mL, each followed by 1000mL of water or clear liquid. The primary objective of this observational study was to document compliance with the recommended hydration guidelines in a representative sample of the European population. Patients and methods Prospective, non-interventional, multicentre study (NCT02630680, EUPAS9361) in patients prescribed OSS for colonoscopy preparation in routine clinical practice in Europe. Patients were included according to pre-agreed consecutive enrolment rules. Patients recorded the volume of OSS and water or clear liquid intake, and occurrence of adverse events (AEs). Compliance with hydration was calculated as a ratio of actual volume of water/clear liquid taken versus prescribed 2,000 mL, and non-compliance defined as < 75 % intake. Colon cleansing level was assessed on a 4-point scale. Results Between October 2015 and January 2017, 1,281 patients were recruited in 16 centres in four European countries (safety population n = 1,206; registry population n = 1,177). Of patients, 94.5 % were ≥ 75 % and 86.8 % 100 % compliant with hydration guidelines. Patients took an average of 96.8 % of the recommended OSS volume; 46 patients (3.9 %) were non-compliant. Colon cleansing levels were good-to-excellent in 87.6 % of patients. Three hundred and twenty-nine patients (27.3 %) experienced 758 treatment-related AEs, mostly gastrointestinal (82.9 %), all were mild-to-moderate. Non-compliant patients had no AEs suggestive of dehydration. Conclusion In this non-interventional study in a real-life setting, treatment compliance with hydration guidelines was good-to-excellent in 94.5 % of patients receiving OSS. The safety profile of OSS was similar to the prescribing information. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Observational study EUPAS9361 at www.encepp.eu

Abstract:

College students resist required reading assignments. Likewise, faculty are reluctant to quiz on reading assignments for fear of evoking disapproval. Measurement of reading compliance allows instructors to demonstrate a connection between reading preparation and subsequent success on final exams. The first study suggested that self-reports of reading compliance are invalid because of distortion on the part of students. A separate archival study demonstrated utility of the initial surprise quiz in predicting scores on final exams. Instructors might consider surprise quizzes to reinforce effort, illustrate practical benefits of reading preparation, and emphasize students' responsibility in the learning enterprise.

Abstract:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major problem of global health. Screening colonoscopy is the gold standard in detection of CRC. A quality colonoscopy needs good indication, adequate bowel preparation, adequate examination time (30 to 45 minutes), a minimum 6 minutes time for mucosal examination during colonoscopy descent, a good centre adenoma detection rate. In 28-33% of the colonoscopies, the bowel preparation is unsatisfactory which leads to several hidden costs including the rise of preventable and treatable death rate regarding colorectal carcinoma. The ESGE (European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy) recommends a maximum of 10% poor preparations, threshold that is diffi cult to reach in many centres. Newer low-volume laxative regimens for bowel cleansing are better in the fi elds of compliance and tolerability than the classic 4L PEG with 2L PEG-CS (Clensia ®) being one of the new promising low-volume formulas. The low fi bre diet is now preferred due to better compliance and tolerability.

Abstract:

Compared to young adults, it is difficult for the older people with relatively low health literacy to perform proper bowel preparation for a colonoscopy. This study aims to identify the relationship between knowledge, compliance with bowel preparation, and bowel cleanliness with health literacy in older patients undergoing colonoscopy. The participants were 110 older people undergoing colonoscopy, recruited from an endoscopy hospital in G metropolitan city, South Korea. Data obtained from a structured questionnaire that included items on health literacy and knowledge of and compliance with bowel preparation, and the Aronchick bowel cleanliness scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ-test, Pearson’s correlation, t-test, and ANCOVA. Participants who were younger and those with a higher education level and better economic status had a statistically significantly higher health literacy level. Older people with a health literacy level of 7 points and above had a higher knowledge level and bowel cleanliness index, a showed better compliance with bowel preparation. The results highlight the need for developing a customized education intervention program that can improve health literacy for successful bowel preparation and examination of the older population undergoing colonoscopy.

Abstract:

There are various syariah compliant products specifically premises which run particular services and these products are the focus of international interest, especially from the Middle East. Nonetheless, certain problems arise when some products do not seem to practise full Islamic values in terms of the preparation of the infrastructure, services, ethics, and food at premises. In particular, in Malaysia, the practice of syariah compliance as requires a mechanism or yardstick of dakwah infrastructure which is related to maqasid syariah principles such as al-daruriyyat, al-hajiyyat and al-tahsiniyyat as a reference of implementation in other places. This is because the measurement according to maqasid principles is vital in order to ensure full syariah compliance so that the objectives of Islamic dakwah could be fulfilled. This paper is qualitative in nature and it follows the design of document analysis. The findings indicated that the criteria of syariah-compliant dakwah infrastructure should be scrutinised to enable its compliance to be measured based on maqasid syariah principles. Additionally, other premises could also follow the same benchmarking system by referring to the specific criteria in line with the syariah requirements.

The Purpose of designing sustained or controlled delivery systems has always been to bring down the dose frequency that offers better patient compliance & reduced side effects Microspheres have shown to reduce the dose, side effects, frequency of administration and possibility of dose dumping, therefore increased patient compliance. There are several methods of preparation for microspheres, slight variation in basic method can produce numerous changes in final outcome. However various problems are still not resolved with these methods like wide size distribution & poor repeatability. Biodegradation rate of the microspheres in controlled by the composition of the microspheres and consecutively affects the release profile of drug, i.e. PGA, PLA and PCL have hydrolytic degradation role in order of PGA>PLA>>PCL.

Abstract:

Knowledge of local antimicrobial resistance is critical for management of infectious diseases. Community hospitals' compliance with Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidance for creation of cumulative antibiograms is uncertain. This descriptive cohort study of antibiogram reporting practices included community hospitals enrolled in the Duke Infection Control Outreach Network. Cumulative antibiograms from 2012 were reviewed for criteria on reporting practices and compliance with CLSI guidelines. Microbiology personnel were sent a voluntary, electronic survey on antibiogram preparation practices. Data were compiled using descriptive statistics. Thirty-two of 37 (86%) hospitals provided antibiograms; 26 of 37 (70%) also provided survey responses. Twelve (38%) antibiograms specified methods used for compiling data and exclusion of duplicates. Eight (25%) reported only species with >30 isolates. Of the 24 that did not follow the 30-isolate rule, 3 (13%) included footnotes to indicate impaired statistical validity. Twenty (63%) reported at least 1 pathogen-drug combination not recommended for primary or supplemental testing per CLSI. Thirteen (41%) separately reported methicillin-resistant and -susceptibleStaphylococcus aureus. Complete compliance with CLSI guidelines was observed in only 3 (9%) antibiograms. Survey respondents' self-assessment of full or partial compliance with CLSI guidelines was 50% and 15%, respectively; 33% reported uncertainty with CLSI guidelines. Full adherence to CLSI guidelines for hospital antibiograms was uncommon. Uncertainty about CLSI guidelines was common. Alternate strategies, such as regional antibiograms using pooled data and educational outreach efforts, are needed to provide reliable and appropriate susceptibility estimates for community hospitals.

Abstract:

Acute Otitis Externa is a common condition observed by physicians, particularly in primary care. The condition usually occurs due to bacterial infection, so antibiotic therapy is frequently indicated. Oral antibiotics are rarely necessary but are still being prescribed, despite a wide range of available topical preparations. Choosing a topical preparation can sometimes be challenging for prescribers, however, consideration of a range of different factors is necessary. This article provides a review of the currently recommended prescribing practice and outlines key topical antibiotic ear preparations available in the UK for treatment of Acute Otitis Externa. As no one topical ear preparation is more effective than another, a consideration of the benefits and risks of each treatment is needed to enable therapeutic resolution of Acute Otitis Externa. Furthermore, patient compliance should be adequately considered to increase the likelihood of patient adherence to treatment.

Abstract:

Most of the ayurvedic medicines are in the form of powder. Being in powder form the administration of accurate dose with ease is a problem. They may have some kind of unacceptable bitter taste. Furthermore it needs water or honey for administration and chances of spoilage and waste are more. Oro-dispersible tablet which rapidly disintegrating in mouth will be the best remedy for efficient use of ayurvedic powders. The aim of this study was to formulate oro-dispersible tablets of ayurvedic polyherbal powder Talisadi. Talisadi is a traditional Ayurvedic powder preparation well known and effective in various disorders of respiratory and digestive system. Using various excipients like super-disintegrants and sweeteners, different formulation of polyherbal drug Talisadi were formulated by direct compression method. The acceptable formulation, among all the developed formulations of oro-dispersible tablet was having a disintegrating time of 1 min and 10 sec and acceptable taste. Thus the study concludes that formulation of oro-dispersible tablets of ayurvedic powder preparation can be a good option to enhance acceptability, efficiency and easy and accurate administration of powder ayurvedic preparations like Talisadi.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Invasive medical procedures such as colonoscopies are known to cause psychological distress and anxiety. Patient anxiety leads to reduce patient compliance for colonoscopy and increased adverse effects. Patient education prior to colonoscopy has previously been shown to have positive effects on outcomes and experience. Based on patient and provider input, we have developed easy to read written materials and easy to follow video materials, which other patients have rated highly. These, along with other materials, are embedded on Mycolonoscopy.ca. Mycolonoscopy.ca is a website that provides online information access for patients regarding preparation and peri-procedural expectations. Information about accessing the website is provided with appointment materials (which includes information about split-dose versus one day bowel preparation, giving patients the option between the two) mailed to all patients undergoing outpatient colonoscopy in Winnipeg. Aims (1) To evaluate the current use of mycolonoscopy.ca among patients undergoing colonoscopy (2) To determine whether there is an association between visitation to the website and patient outcomes such as reduction in procedural anxiety, bowel preparation tolerance/compliance, and bowel preparation score. Methods A paper-based survey was given out to patients at their colonoscopy appointments. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses was performed to determine the factors associated with website visitation and association with procedural anxiety, bowel preparation compliance and bowel preparation scores. Results A total of 593 participants were given the surveys, of which 506 were completed. 17.4% of participants had visited the website prior to their colonoscopy. Visitors to mycolonoscopy.ca and those that had heard of the website were more likely to consume a split-dose bowel preparation (63.9% and 68.2% respectively) compared with non-visitors (52.5%) (p=0.0062). Individuals who consumed split-dose bowel preparation had a median Boston bowel preparation score of 9, compared with a score of 7 for individuals who used other forms of preparation (p<0.0001). 31.3% of website visitors were very or extremely worried about their colonoscopy compared with 17.9% of non-visitors. 76.6% of individuals agreed or strongly agreed that visiting the website helped them prepare for their colonoscopy and 69.7% who visited the website agreed or strongly agreed that it helped to reduce their stress/anxiety for the procedure as well. Conclusions Our study suggests that use of an informative online platform such as mycolonoscopy.ca can help to improve patient education prior to colonoscopy, reduce anxiety and stress surrounding the procedure, and improve bowel preparation compliance and bowel cleansing score.

Abstract:

Background: Appropriate bowel preparation is essential for effective colonoscopy. Inadequate use of bowel preparation solutions reduces patient compliance, makes the detection of lesions such as adenoma difficult, and increases the risk of complication such as perforation. Current Concepts: A 4-L polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution can be safely used for bowel preparation, even in most individuals with underlying diseases. However, it requires a high preparation-volume intake and has poor patient compliance due to its unpleasant taste. Therefore, a 2- or 1- L sulfate-free, PEG-based laxative was developed to, reduce the amount of PEG and improve the taste. Furthermore, simethicon-containing laxative formulation was developed to eliminate gas bubbles. In addition, oral bowel preparation solutions with enema agents and prokinetics were used to improve bowel preparation, but no improvement was observed. Various alternative laxatives are available; however, PEG-based bowel preparation solutions are still recommended in most cases due to their stability. Discussion and Conclusion: Although a 4-L PEG solutions recommended for bowel preparation in most cases, several laxatives have been introduced to overcome its disadvantages. The laxative agent must be selected according to each patient’s specific characteristics. Moreover, the method of taking bowel preparation solutions and additional bowel preparation medications must be carefully chosen. In addition, patient education via various methods, such as using a smartphone, when taking a bowel preparation agent may help improve bowel preparation quality.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Spinal fusion surgical site infections (SSI) increase morbidity, length of stay, readmissions and cost compared with those who do not develop an SSI. Initiatives aimed at improving spinal fusion care and reducing SSI are essential. Methods In a large metropolitan teaching hospital that performs 1,352 fusions annually, a multidisciplinary team consisting of infection prevention (IP), neurosurgeons, a performance improvement specialist, administration, and postoperative nursing staff was convened to discuss fusion SSI prevention best practices. The SSI prevention team focused on improving chlorhexidine (CHG) bathing compliance in preoperative areas and appropriate alcohol containing skin preparation compliance, developing a postoperative power plan, implementing CHG bathing postoperatively and standardizing postoperative wound care. Compliance with CHG bathing and alcohol containing skin prep was monitored, dressing audits were completed and compliance with all process measures was fed back to the stakeholders. Rates of fusion SSI pre-intervention (January 2017 thru June 2018) were compared with postintervention (July thru December 2018) Results From July 2018 to December 2018, compliance with CHG bathing in the preoperative area increased from 81% to 92% and compliance with the use of alcohol containing skin preparation agent improved from 83% to 94%. Postoperative daily CHG bath x 10 days was implemented January 2018 with 72% compliance. With the efforts of the multidisciplinary team, Fusion SSI decreased from 1.43 to 0.75 per 100 fusion surgeries (Risk Ratio 0.52, 95% CI 0.18 -1.27, p-value 0.17) pre vs. post-intervention. This correlated to a Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) decrease from 1.43 to 0.73. There was a concomitant trend toward decreased observed: expected (O: E) 30-day readmission (1.05 pre vs. 0.98 post) during the same time frame. Conclusion An interdisciplinary team developed spinal fusion bundle consisting of CHG bathing pre and postoperatively, alcohol containing skin preparation agent, and standardized postoperative dressing care resulted in a trend toward decreased fusion SSIs. Further data are needed to determine whether the improvement in process measures and outcomes is sustainable and significant. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract:

Background/Aims.The preparation-to-colonoscopy (PC) interval is one of several important factors for the bowel preparation. Short message service (SMS) reminder from a cellular phone has been suggested to improve compliance in various medical situations. We evaluated the effectiveness of SMS reminders to assure the PC interval for colonoscopy.Methodology.This prospective randomized study was investigator blinded. In the No-SMS group, patients took the first 2 L polyethylene glycol (PEG) between 6 and 8 PM on the day before colonoscopy and the second 2 L PEG approximately 6 hours before the colonoscopy without SMS. In the SMS group, patients took first 2 L PEG in the same manner as the No-SMS group and the second 2 L PEG after receiving an SMS 6 hours before the colonoscopy.Results.The SMS group had a lower score than the No-SMS group, according to the Ottawa Bowel Preparation Scale(P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compliance with diet instructions (odds ratio (OR) 2.109; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.11–3.99,P=0.022) and intervention using SMS ((OR) 2.329; 95% (CI), 1.34–4.02,P=0.002) were the independent significant factors for satisfactory bowel preparation.Conclusions.An SMS reminder to assure PC interval improved the bowel preparation quality for colonoscopy with bowel preparation.

Abstract:

Daily subcutaneous injection of human growth hormone has been used for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency and growth failure but has led to poor patient compliance and renal toxicity. Thus, it is crucial to develop favorable growth hormone delivery systems to improve patient compliance. In the present study, to increase the oral bioavailability of growth hormone and improve patient compliance, enteric-coated capsules filled with monomethoxyl poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles were prepared to facilitate oral growth hormone delivery. The nanoparticles were less than 100 nm in size, exhibited narrow polydispersity indices < 0.3, and showed a zeta potential of −4.87 mV. The highest efficiency of growth hormone encapsulation achieved in this study was nearly 70%. An in vitro release experiment showed that adequate amounts of growth hormone were retained under simulated gastric conditions and significant amounts of growth hormone were released under simulated intestinal conditions. The bioavailability of encapsulated growth hormone relative to subcutaneously injected growth hormone in Sprague-Dawley rats was 11.06%. Thus, the use of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles yielded promising results, and these agents should be investigated further regarding their potential as an oral growth hormone delivery system in the future.

Abstract:

Optimal bowel preparation is essential for the safety and outcome of colonoscopy. A solution containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) is often used as a bowel cleansing agent, but some patients are intolerant of PEG, and this may lead to discontinuation of colonoscopy. Sodium phosphates (NaP) tablets are designed to improve patient acceptance and compliance. The objective of this study was to compare bowel preparation efficiency and patient acceptance of a 30 NaP tablet preparation (L-NaP) and a 2 L PEG preparation. Patients were randomized into either the L-NaP or PEG group. The primary endpoint was the efficiency of colon cleansing as assessed by a validated four-point scale according to the Aronchick scale by endoscopists and was verified by blinded investigators. The secondary endpoints were patients’ tolerability and acceptance. Colon-cleansing efficiency was not significantly different between the two preparations. However, patients’ overall judgment was significantly in favor of L-NaP, reflecting better acceptance of L-NaP than PEG. Additionally, more patients favored L-NaP over PEG in a hypothetical future occasion requiring colonoscopy.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Tax software is commonly used in the preparation of U.S. federal and state income tax returns. A common feature of tax return preparation software is the prepayment-position status bar, which automatically calculates an updated refund/tax-due position. This paper examines whether the prepayment-position status bar, influences taxpayer decision making. This study utilizes a 2 × 2 experimental design, manipulating the taxpayers' prepayment position (refund/tax-due) and manipulating whether the prepayment-position status bar is present or absent. Using experienced taxpayers as study participants, the results of the experiment show that taxpayers are more aggressive when they are in a tax-due position compared to a refund position and that this effect is exaggerated when the tax software contains a prepayment-position status bar.

Abstract:

Current areal of anthrax among live stock and wild animals covers almost all the continents. The cause of human infection is conventionally considered to be the contact with diseased animals in the process of carrying for an animal, forced slaughter or further trimming of carcasses, as well as contact with infected raw materials of animal origin. Licensed vaccines has made an invaluable contribution to the improvement of epidemiological situation on anthrax, however, development of the vaccines complying with current scientific progress remains relevant. We have constructed a vaccine prototype containing recombinant protective antigen and S-layer EA1 protein and added state-of-the-art CpG 2006 adjuvant to the formulation. We have demonstrated the advantage of the lyophilized form of the preparation. Objective — obtainment of anthrax vaccine prototype in lyophilized state and assessment of the prototype compliance with the requirements to vaccine preparations. Materials and methods. Isolation of rPA and EA1 protein was carried out using producer-strain B. anthracis 55ΔTПА-1Spo– on an integrated end-to-end manufacturing line, including concentration, diafiltration and two-phase chromatography. CpG 2006 adjuvant was synthesized according to known sequences. Components were mixed and lyophilized in sublimation unit. Combination of 1% sucrose and 3% glycine was used as cryoprotector. Effectiveness and safety of the preparation were evaluated on the model of BALB/c mice and guinea pigs applying immunological, morphometric, and histological assays. Antibody titers in sera of immunized animals were evaluated using standard ELISA procedures. Protective properties were investigated through LD50 values for the test-strain used on immunized and control animals and immunity index. Results. We have performed complex investigation of the anthrax vaccine prototype, containing B. anthracis 55ΔTПА-1Spo– proteins as main and supplementary antigens, as well as CpG 2006 adjuvant, stabilizers and preservative agent. The prototype meets the requirements to immunobiological medicinal drugs by all physical-chemical properties. Our preparation does not have a toxic effect on the organism of laboratory animals in case of subcutaneous and intraperitoneal administration of single human dose. Pathomorphological study of guinea pigs’ organs immunized with double dose of the vaccine prototype has not revealed any evidence of damaging effect on the cells and tissues of macroorganism. The prototype protects BALB/c mice from the infection with B. anthracis 71/12 test-strain.

Abstract:

Background The use of vascular access devices (VADs) may put patients at risk for bloodstream infections. Despite infection control prevention methods used in our neonatal unit, mean catheter-related blood stream infection (CRBSI) rates are quite high. One contributing factor for these high infection rates may be the skin antiseptic preparation procedure undertaken prior to intravenous line insertion.Objectives We aimed to reduce CRBRBSI rates by changing to octenidine hydrochloride antiseptic solutions for skin preparation in the neonatal unit at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital.Methods Antiseptics for skin preparation were changed from povidone-iodine or alcohol to octenidine hydrochloride from September to November 2010. Bloodstream infection rates and hand hygiene compliance were recorded and compared before and during the study.Results The mean CRBRBSI rate in the neonatal unit before changing the skin antiseptic solution (January – August 2010) was 11.68‰ (‰ means per 1000 patient-days). During the study, CRBSI rates decreased significantly to 1.1‰ in the first month, increased to 8.7‰ in the second month, and decreased to 2.4‰ in the third month. Hand hygiene compliance for 1 moment (before aseptic task) fluctuated, reaching 93.8% and 100% before and during the study, respectively. Compliance for the remaining 4 moments of hand hygiene as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), ranged from 33.0 – 87.3% before the study and 8.0 – 100.0% during the study. The most striking decrease in these 4 moments of hand hygiene compliance in the second month was accompanied by a marked increase in CRB SI rate.Conclusions Reduced CRB SI rates cannot be attained by solely changing antiseptic solutions for skin preparation. Maintaining other prevention strategies, such as adhering to the 5 moments of hand hygiene recommended by WHO is also very important.

Abstract:

ObjectivePreprocedural bowel preparation is necessary for optimal colonoscopy visualisation. However, it is challenging to achieve high-quality bowel preparation among patients scheduled for colonoscopy. This study aims to evaluate the impact of an intensive patient educational programme on the quality of bowel preparation.DesignAn accessor-blinded randomised controlled trial was carried out at the outpatient surgical clinic of a tertiary hospital. Patients were randomly assigned to the control group (received standard written and verbal instructions) or the experimental group (received an intensive and structured educational programme). All subjects completed a questionnaire before colonoscopy to assess their compliance, acceptability, and tolerability towards bowel preparation regime. Quality of bowel preparation was determined using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS).ResultsA total of 300 subjects who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited. The experimental group had a significantly higher proportion of good quality bowel preparation than the control group (98.7% vs 52.3%, p<0.001). The median total BBPS score was also significantly higher in the experimental group (8 vs 5, p<0.001). Factors associated with good quality of bowel preparation included educational programme (OR: 22.79, 95% CI: 4.23 to 122.85, p<0.001), compliance to bowel cleansing agent (OR: 24.98, 95% CI 3.12 to 199.71, p<0.001), very difficult acceptability of preparation (OR: 0.11, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.38, p<0.001), tolerability towards bowel preparation (OR: 4.98, 95% CI 1.44 to 17.20, p<0.011) and hypomotility drugs (OR: 3.03, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.91, p<0.05).ConclusionAn intensive patient educational programme can significantly improve the quality of bowel preparation for colonoscopy.

Abstract:

Objectives –To assess the impact on compliance of three invitation methods, as well as the acceptability and efficacy of two bowel preparation regimens, for endoscopic screening in the general population. Methods –1170 subjects (men and women aged 55 to 59, in the rosters of a sample of general practitioners (GPs) in Turin), were randomly allocated to one of three invitation groups (A: personal letter, signed by GP, with a pre-fixed appointment; B: same as for A + letter supporting the study by a well known scientist; C: letter signed by the study coordinator, NS) and two preparation regimens (i: one enema, self administered at home two hours before the test; ii: two enemas, administered the night before and two hours before the test). A postal reminder was mailed to non-attenders. A sample of non-responders was contacted for a telephone interview by a trained nurse. Written consent was obtained from all subjects undergoing the test. Results –A total of 278 subjects attended for sigmoidoscope screening. An invitation from the GP alone produced the highest response rate (compliance: A = 29.3%; B = 24.9%; C = 26.8%). A single enema was as effective as two enemas in achieving satisfactory preparation for the test: the proportion of subjects invited to repeat the test was 8.1% in the single enema group, and 9.6% in the group receiving two enemas. Conclusions –Compliance with this screening procedure tends to be low. One enema, self administered two hours before sigmoidoscopy, can ensure a satisfactory bowel preparation.

Abstract:

Movement competency (MC) development of high-school athletes can prepare them for the requirements of physical preparation training and the demands of sport. The aim of this study was to explore the physical effects of and athlete compliance to coach-led versus self-directed training approaches in this population. Thirty-nine high-school athletes (19 male, 14.5 ± 0.3 years old; 20 female, 14.6 ± 0.3 years) were allocated into two groups for a physical preparation program to improve MC. Groups were prescribed either (i) one face-to-face and one online (F2F, n = 18), or (ii) two online (OL, n = 21) sessions per week for 16-weeks. Before and after the intervention, the Athlete Introductory Movement Screen (AIMS) was used to assess MC alongside common physical capacity measures (triple-hop, star-excursion balance, medicine ball throw, 40 m sprint and countermovement jump). Dropout left 22 participants with pre-post physical scores. Compliance with online training was low and F2F session attendance moderate. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to assess participant perceptions following the intervention. Assessing individual responses, the F2F group had a higher proportion of positive responders to AIMS scores, yet capacity measures were inconclusive across groups. Face-to-face coaching when acquiring MCs as part of physical preparation, may provide greater positive perceptions towards training compared to self-directed online prescriptions, and thereby greater compliance.

Abstract:

Upper airway compliance indicates the potential of the airway to collapse and is relevant to the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea. We hypothesized that compliance would vary over the rostral-to-caudal extent of the pharyngeal airway. In a paralyzed isolated upper airway preparation in cats, we controlled static upper airway pressure during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, 0.391-mm resolution). We measured cross-sectional area and anteroposterior and lateral dimensions from three-dimensional reconstructed MRIs in axial slices orthogonal to the airway centerline. High-retropalatal (HRP), midretropalatal (MRP), and hypopharyngeal (HYP) regions were defined. Regional compliance was significantly increased from rostral to caudal regions as follows: HRP < MRP < HYP ( P < 0.0001), and compliance differences among regions were directly related to collapsibility. Thus our findings in the isolated upper airway of the cat support the hypothesis that regional differences in pharyngeal compliance exist and suggest that baseline regional variations in compliance and collapsibility may be an important factor in the pathogenesis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
