Abstract

BACKGROUND

As telemedicine plays an increasing role in health care delivery, providers are expected to receive adequate training to effectively communicate with patients during telemedicine encounters. Teach-back is an approach that verifies patients' understanding of the health care information provided by health care professionals. Including patients in the design and development of teach-back training content for providers can result in more relevant training content. However, only a limited number of studies embrace patient engagement in this capacity, and none for remote care settings.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to design and evaluate the feasibility of patient-centered, telehealth-focused teach-back training for family medicine residents to promote the use of teach-back during remote visits.

METHODS

We codeveloped the POTENTIAL (Platform to Enhance Teach-Back Methods in Virtual Care Visits) curriculum for medical residents to promote teach-back during remote visits. A patient participated in the development of the workshop's videos and in a patient-provider panel about teach-back. We conducted a pilot, 2-arm cluster, nonrandomized controlled trial. Family medicine residents at the intervention site (n=12) received didactic and simulation-based training in addition to weekly cues-to-action. Assessment included pre- and postsurveys, observations of residents, and interviews with patients and providers. To assess differences between pre- and postintervention scores among the intervention group, chi-square and 1-tailed t tests were used. A total of 4 difference-in-difference models were constructed to evaluate prepost differences between intervention and control groups for each of the following outcomes: familiarity with teach-back, importance of teach-back, confidence in teach-back ability, and ease of use of teach-back.

RESULTS

Medical residents highly rated their experience of the teach-back training sessions (mean 8.6/10). Most residents (9/12, 75%) used plain language during training simulations, and over half asked the role-playing patient to use their own words to explain what they were told during the encounter. Postintervention, there was an increase in residents' confidence in their ability to use teach-back (mean 7.33 vs 7.83; P=.04), but there was no statistically significant difference in familiarity with, perception of importance, or ease of use of teach-back. None of the difference-in-difference models were statistically significant. The main barrier to practicing teach-back was time constraints.

CONCLUSIONS

This study highlights ways to effectively integrate best-practice training in telehealth teach-back skills into a medical residency program. At the same time, this pilot study points to important opportunities for improvement for similar interventions in future larger-scale implementation efforts, as well as ways to mitigate providers' concerns or barriers to incorporating teach-back in their practice. Teach-back can impact remote practice by increasing providers' ability to actively engage and empower patients by using the features (whiteboards, chat rooms, and mini-views) of their remote platform.

Abstract Abstract Introduction The Department of Veterans Affairs has pioneered the use of home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) across many of its medical centers over the past 15 years. Here we report trends regarding diagnostic sleep apnea testing in rural and urban Veterans served by the TeleSleep Program, a VA telehealth initiative focused on increasing access to sleep care for rural Veterans. Rurality is a risk factor for use of polysomnography and is associated with longer wait times for testing and initiation of PAP therapy. Methods We used a VA administrative database search of patients enrolled in sleep medicine clinics from fiscal years (FY) 2016-2019 at 7 TeleSleep Hubs: San Francisco, Portland, Phoenix, Boise, Philadelphia, Spokane, and Pittsburgh. Individual encounters were coded locally and transmitted to VA’s corporate data warehouse. HSAT codes included 95800, 95801, 95806, G0398, G0399, and G0400. Polysomnography codes included 95807, 95808, 95810, and 95811. Results Total number of unique Veterans served increased between FY16 and FY19 from 28,941 to 43,044 (149%); rural Veterans served during this time increased from 9,386 to 14,329 (153%). The total number of annual sleep medicine encounters for all Veterans served increased from 89,870 to 138,127 (154%); rural Veteran visits increased from 29,825 to 50,342 (169%). Unique urban Veterans tested by HSAT increased from 2,158 in FY16 to 4,398 in FY19 (203%) while polysomnography decreased from 5,011 to 3,253 (35%). Unique rural Veterans tested by HSAT increased from 1,102 to 2,768 (251%) and polysomnography decreased by 42% (1,565 to 909 Veterans) during this same time. Conclusion Among VA sleep medicine programs with TeleSleep funding, HSAT became the most common approach to diagnostic sleep apnea testing, particularly in rural Veterans. Although polysomnography was widely used at the beginning of the TeleSleep Initiative, use declined as HSAT became more widely implemented. Support VA Office of Rural Health Collapse

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

One way to slow the spread of resistant bacteria is by improved stewardship of antibiotics: using them more carefully and reducing the number of prescriptions. With an estimated 7%-10% of antibiotic prescriptions globally originating from dental practices and up to 80% prescribed unnecessarily, dentistry has an important role to play. To support the design of new stewardship interventions through knowledge transfer between contexts, this study aimed to identify factors associated with the decision to prescribe antibiotics to adults presenting with acute conditions across primary care (including dentistry).

METHODS

Two reviews were undertaken: an umbrella review across primary healthcare and a systematic review in dentistry. Two authors independently selected and quality assessed the included studies. Factors were identified using an inductive thematic approach and mapped to the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). Comparisons between dental and other settings were explored. Registration number: PROSPERO_CRD42016037174.

RESULTS

Searches identified 689 publications across primary care and 432 across dental care. Included studies (nine and seven, respectively) were assessed as of variable quality. They covered 46 countries, of which 12 were low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Across the two reviews, 30 factors were identified, with 'patient/condition characteristics', 'patient influence' and 'guidelines & information' the most frequent. Two factors were unique to dental studies: 'procedure possible' and 'treatment skills'. No factor related only to LMICs.

CONCLUSIONS

A comprehensive list of factors associated with antibiotic prescribing to adults with acute conditions in primary care settings around the world has been collated and should assist theory-informed design of new context-specific stewardship interventions.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate postoperative changes within the cervical alignment following surgical lumbar correction by pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) in patients affected with sagittal global malalignment disease.

METHODS

This was a monocentric, radiographic, and prospective study. 79 patients, who underwent sagittal correction by PSO, performed an EOS imaging pre- and postoperatively between January 2008 and December 2013 at the University Hospital of Bordeaux. Inclusion criteria were a performed pre- and postoperative EOS imaging and a preoperative C7SVA > 5 cm. Were excluded patients who did not allow EOS with a viewable cervical spine due to hyperkyphosis. The study involved the analysis of pelvic, lumbar, thoracic, cervical, and cranial parameters before and after the surgery.

RESULTS

59 patients met the criteria. Mean follow-up was 38 months. The lumbar PSO significantly improved sagittal alignment including L1S1 lordosis, T1T12 kyphosis, and C7SVA (p < 0.001). We did not reported a significant change within cervical parameters after PSO (C2C7 lordosis 22.7°-21.5° p = 0.64, C1C7 lordosis 50.6°-48.8° p = 0.56, C1C2 angle 28.2°-27.9° p = 0.82, C7 slope stayed constant 32.3°-30.5° p = 0.47, OC2 angle 15.54°-15.56° p = 0.99). However, cranial slope decreased significantly (p < 0.05). We did not find correlation between lumbar lordosis and cervical lordosis variations (R = 0.265). Cervical lordosis was highly correlated with the C7 slope (R = 0.597) and with the Spino Cranial Angle (R = - 0.867).

CONCLUSION

Reciprocal changes in cervical spine after PSO are difficult to approach. Maintaining a horizontal gaze involves locoregional mechanisms of compensation adapting to the slope of C7. The cranial system by decreasing the cranial slope allows the gaze alignment and is the first compensation mechanism to get involved after a loss of lumbar lordosis. Restoring optimal C7SVA is necessary to prevent the development of secondary cervical painful symptomatology when the cranial compensation is outdated.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this paper is to describe the trends and patterns of self-inflicted injuries, available from Canadian administrative data between 1979 and 2014/15, in order to inform and improve suicide prevention efforts.

METHODS

Suicide mortality and hospital separation data were retrieved from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) holdings of Statistics Canada's Canadian Vital Statistics: Death Database (CVS:D) (1979 to 2012); Canadian Socio-Economic Information Management System (CANSIM 2011, 2012); the Hospital Morbidity Database (HMDB) (1994/95 to 2010/11); and the Discharge Abstract Database (2011/12 to 2014/15). Mortality and hospitalization counts and rates were reported by sex, 5-year age groups and method.

RESULTS

The Canadian suicide rate (males and females combined, all ages, age-sex standardized rate) has decreased from 14.4/100 000 (n = 3355) in 1979 to 10.4/100 000 (n = 3926) in 2012, with an annual percent change (APC) of -1.2% (95% CI: -1.3 to -1.0). However, this trend was not observed in both sexes: female suicide rates stabilized around 1990, while male rates continued declining over time-yet males still accounted for 75.7% of all suicides in 2012. Suffocation (hanging and strangulation) was the primary method of suicide (46.9%) among Canadians of all ages in 2012, followed by poisoning at 23.3%. In the 2014/15 fiscal year, there were 13 438 hospitalizations in Canada (excluding Quebec) associated with self-inflicted injuries-over 3 times the number of suicides. Over time females have displayed consistently higher rates of hospitalization for self-inflicted injury than males, with 63% of the total. Poisoning was reported as the most frequent means of self-inflicted harm in the fiscal year 2014/15, at 86% of all hospitalizations.

CONCLUSION

Suicides and self-inflicted injuries continue to be a serious - but preventable - public health problem that requires ongoing surveillance.

Abstract Abstract Cell lines represent a valuable model system for the study of breast cancer, as they capture the cellular diversity, mutational spectrum, expression subtypes, and genomic alterations that are observed in clinical specimens. However, like any model system, cell lines are imperfect, particularly when it comes to capturing the effects of the myriad of signals and interactions they encounter in their microenvironment (ME). We are utilizing a technology known as microenvironment microarrays (MEMA) to begin to unravel the consequences of interactions of breast cancer cells with the ME. MEMA consist of thousands of unique combinations of insoluble matrix proteins that are printed to form growth pads with ligands added to the media. Cells are grown on the MEMA spots and the effects of the specific ME that they are exposed to can be read out using immunofluorescent stains of interest. When combined with automated imaging and sophisticated image processing and analysis, the MEMA platform enables the identification of specific ME conditions that alter the phenotypes of cells. We have applied MEMA to understand both baseline responses to the ME as well as how the ME might mediate response to therapeutics. We performed a pilot experiment to investigate the effects of the ME on the response to the HER2-targeted inhibitor lapatinib. We found that HCC1954 cells continued to proliferate robustly in the presence of HGF when treated with 500 nM lapatinib. In contrast, AU565 cells were proliferative in the presence of NRG1 and lapatinib, but not HGF. Focused follow up studies showed that HGF is effective in rescuing only basal HER2+ cells, while NRG1 is effective in rescuing only luminal subtype HER2+cells. Rescue with the relevant growth factor was also observed in 3-d matrigel studies, showing this was not an artifact of the 2-d culture system. We investigated the effects of drug combinations using lapatinib plus drugs that target either MET (Crizotinib) or HER3-HER2 dimers (pertuzumab). These drug combinations were able to overcome the resistance mediated by HGF and NRG1 in basal and luminal cells respectively. We found the effectiveness of pertuzumab particularly interesting, given that lapatinib should still be inhibiting HER2 kinase activity. Parallel studies found that inhibitors targeting other kinase receptors such as IGF1R partially restored sensitivity to HER2 in the presence of NRG1, suggesting a role for such receptors in the resistance. Immunoprecipitation studies showed that IGF1R co-immunoprecipitated with HER2/HER3 when pertuzumab was absent, but that additional of pertuzumab abrogated the binding of IGF1R to HER3, suggesting the formation of HER2-dependent higher order structures that can signal even when HER2 is inhibited. These studies highlight the importance of understanding the effects of the ME on cancer cells, and demonstrate the differences between ME factors that can confer resistance to HER2 targeted inhibitors in basal and luminal HER2+ cells. These findings suggest that both subtype and ME composition may be important in determining response to combinatorial treatments and may be useful to inform clinical decision making.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES

Hair sprays apply fixative ingredients to provide hold to a hair style as well as weather resistance and optical properties such as shine. Generally, sprays distribute fine particles containing polymeric ingredients to form a thin film on the surface of hair. Different hair types require different strengths of the formed deposit on the hair surface. The present study shows how sprays also alter the visibility of the hair colour by altering the surface topology of the hair fibres.

METHODS

Hyperspectral imaging is used to map spectral characteristics of hair on mannequins and panelists over the curvature of heads. Spectral and spatial characteristics are measured before and after hair spray applications. The hair surface is imaged by SEM to visualize the degree of cuticle coverage. Finally, the perception of hair colour was evaluated on red-coloured mannequins by consumer questionnaire.

RESULTS

Hair sprays deposit different degrees of fixatives, which lead to a progressive leveling of the cuticle natural tilt angle with respect to the fibre axis. As a result, shine is progressively shifting towards the region of hair colour visibility and decreases the perceived colour of hair seen by consumers. Lighter sprays show thinner film formation on the hair surface and less of a shine shift than strong hold hair sprays.

CONCLUSIONS

Hair sprays are generally employed for hair style hold and weather resistance and considered without effect on hair colour. Our approach shows that spray-deposited films can affect colour perception by altering the microstructure of the hair surface. Thin films deposited on the hair fibre surface can partially fill gaps between cuticles, which reduces the cuticle natural angle. This partial erasure results in a angle shift of the shine regions towards the angle of internal reflection, thus decreasing the perceived hair colour regions as experienced by a group of consumers.

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Previous investigations have revealed that Mycobacterium ulcerans is extensively distributed spatially throughout ulcerative lesions, including in the margins of excised tissue. In contrast, bacilli in pre-ulcerative lesions are assumed to be concentrated in the center of the lesion. In order to assess the extent to which the surgical excision of pre-ulcerative lesions is capable of removing all infected tissue, we subjected the excision margins of pre-ulcerative lesions to laboratory analysis.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

Eleven patients with laboratory-confirmed pre-ulcerative lesions were included in the study. The diameter of the lesion and excised tissue and the "surgical distance" between the border of the lesion and excision margin were measured. The entire excision margin was cut into segments and subjected to IS2404 PCR.

RESULTS

The results from the PCR analysis on the samples of excision margins were highly significantly associated with the surgical distance (p < 0.001). The margin samples of nodules were significantly more often PCR positive than the plaques (p = 0.025). The size of the lesion and the size of the excised tissue did not significantly influence the PCR results. Statistically, a surgical distance of more than 9 mm was found to reduce the risk of remaining infected tissue to less than 10%, that of 13 mm to reduce the risk to less than 5%, and that of 25 mm to reduce the risk to nearly 0%.

CONCLUSION

The results of this study show that in preulcerative Buruli ulcer disease, bacilli may extend beyond the actual size of the lesion and that there is a strong correlation between the presence of M. ulcerans in the margin samples and the surgical distance. Excision with a surgical distance of 25 mm avoided the risk of remaining mycobacteria in this study. However, no recurrences occurred in the patients with M. ulcerans-positive excision margins. The need of postoperative antimycobacterial treatment in these patients remains to be determined.

Abstract

AIM

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hypohydration (HH) on the lactate threshold (LT) in a hot and humid environment.

METHODS

Ten apparently healthy males (age 25+/-3 yrs; height 1.8+/-0.04 m; mass 78+/-12 kg; VO2peak 3.7+/-0.4 L/min) underwent four randomly assigned maximal treadmill tests. Two trials were at room temperature (22+/-1 degrees C; RH = 50%) under two different hydration conditions: euhydrated (EH-RM) and hypohydrated (HH-RM), and two trials were performed in a warm chamber (37+/-0.5 degrees C; RH = 70%) under two different hydration conditions: euhydrated (EH-HT) and hypohydrated (HH-HT). The desired HH level (2-4%) was accomplished in the 24+ hours before testing by fluid restriction. Mean HH was 2.6+/-1.0% body weight. Capillary blood samples were collected at the end of each stage and analyzed for lactic acid (LA). LA concentrations were plotted for each exercise stage, and the LT was determined by visual inspection as the highest exercise stage at which blood LA concentration began to increase above each individual's resting levels. LT and body temperature were analyzed with a two-way repeated measures ANOVA (P < 0.05).

RESULTS

During the trials in the warm chamber, the LT occurred at a significantly earlier stage compared to the thermoneutral environment (4.4+/-0.09 vs 5.8+/-0.10) and with a significantly lower oxygen consumption (2.38+/-0.09 L.min(-1) vs 2.86+/-0.13 L.min(-1)). Body temperature at the LT was significantly higher in the heat trials compared to room temperature (38.7+/-0.12 degrees C vs 37.6+/-0.14 degrees C). LT determination was not significantly altered by hydration.

CONCLUSION

These results suggest that during progressive incremental maximal treadmill exercise, moderate HH does not affect the LT, whereas exercise in a hot and humid environment induces a downward shift in the LT. The elevated body temperature during the heat trials suggests that body temperature may affect running performance associated with the LT.
