Full textAbstract:
Personalised interaction between political parties and the electorate has existed since the emergence of modern elections. Nowadays, digital technology has moved the relationship between political candidates and voters to a more advanced level. Through collecting and analysing citizens’ personal data via digital means, politicians have the capacity to foresee the electorate’s political behaviour, its preferences, and the choices it is inclined to make. Such campaign strategy is known as ‘political micro-targeting’, and it has raised great interest in academia. One may consider it a panacea for political misinformation, given that political micro-targeting can increase the population’s participation in politics. Nonetheless, it can be argued that this phenomenon poses a long-term threat to democracy. Accordingly, due to the high engagement with personal data that political micro-targeting entails, the question of its compatibility with citizens’ voting rights arises. This thesis will explore the issue of online political micro-targeting and seek to conduct a comparative analysis between presidential election campaigns in three European states, namely France, Italy and the United Kingdom. Accordingly, current political micro-targeting practices in these legal systems, and how they can influence each other, will be illustrated. An important place will be devoted to the analysis of political micro-targeting’s interference with the electorate’s voting rights and its regulatory framework.

We compared American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines, Korean (K)-Thyroid Imaging, Reporting and Data Systems (TIRADS), EU-TIRADS, and American College of Radiology (ACR) TIRADS in diagnosing malignancy for thyroid nodules with nondiagnostic/unsatisfactory cytology. Among 1143 nondiagnostic/unsatisfactory aspirations from April 2011 to March 2016, malignancy was detected in 39 of 89 excised nodules. The minimum malignancy rate was 7.82% in EU-TIRADS 5 and 1.87–3.00% in EU-TIRADS 3–4. In the other systems, the minimum malignancy rate was 14.29–16.19% in category 5 and ≤3% in the remaining categories. Although the EU-TIRADS category ≥ 5 exhibited the highest positive likelihood ratio (LR) of only 2.214, category ≥ 5 in the other systems yielded the highest positive LR of >5. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of all systems to predict malignancy were located statistically above the diagonal nondiscrimination line (P for ROC curve: EU-TIRADS, 0.0022; all others, 0.0001). The areas under the ROC curve (AUCs) were not significantly different among the four systems. The ATA guidelines, K-TIRADS, and ACR TIRADS may be useful to guide management for nondiagnostic/unsatisfactory nodules. The EU-TIRADS, although also useful, exhibited inferior performance in predicting malignancy for nondiagnostic/unsatisfactory nodules in Korea, an iodine-sufficient area.

IntroductionMyopia is a worldwide epidemic. Plethora of treatments are offered to decrease myopia progression. In this study, we compared between different geographical areas worldwide the practice patterns used by paediatric ophthalmologists to decrease the progression of myopia.MethodsGlobal responses to a questionnaire were analysed (n=794) for demographic variations. Pharmacological, optical and behavioural categories were defined as effective or ineffective based on the current scientific peer reviewed literature.ResultsTreatment rates varied significantly between geographical regions (mean 57%, range 39%–89%, p<0.001). Nearly all participants who treat myopia used at least one form of effective treatment, regardless of location (98%, p=0.16). Among those prescribing pharmacological treatments, European physicians offered the lowest rate of effective treatment compared with other regions (85% vs mean 97%). Rates of effective optical treatment varied significantly between locations (p<0.001), from 16% (Central-South America) to 56% (Far East). Most treating respondents advocated behavioural modifications (92%), between 87% (North America) and 100% (Central Asia). Nearly all respondents used combinations of treatment modalities (95%)—mostly pharmacological, optical and behavioural combination. However, combination rates varied significantly between regions (p<0.001).DiscussionThe utility of treatment to decrease myopia progression differs significantly across the world both in type, combination and efficacy.ConclusionPaediatric ophthalmologists involvement and proficiency in myopia progression treatment varies around the world. This may entail promoting continuous medical education and other incentives to increase the number and proficiency of paediatric ophthalmologist to have a more effective impact to control the myopia epidemic in children.

Baseline investigation on rabies in Chittagong and Rangpur divisions was evaluated for the first time in Bangladesh from June 2010 to January 2011. A total of 600 respondents was interviewed including common people, school teachers, peoples' representatives, political leaders, doctors and nurses and Medical technicians from selected households. Approximately 89% of the respondents heard the name of rabies. Regionally 86% of the respondents in Rangpur division and 91% in Chittagong division possessed information fully or partly about rabies. The higher rate (91%) of respondents heard about rabies in Chittagong division and sources of respondents knowledge about rabies comprised mostly radio, TV, health worker and other sources. Approximately 100% of the respondents of different categories would seek treatment from the hospital. Majority knew about the fate of rabies that is ultimate death and believed that rabies could be prevented by vaccination program. Regarding the control of stray and poorly supervised dogs, the majority of the participants suggested for the elimination of the dogs.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjz.v39i2.10586 Bangladesh J.

BackgroundTo investigate the outcomes of glaucoma referrals across different European countries.Methods250 patients newly referred to tertiary referral glaucoma specialist practices in the UK, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy and Greece were prospectively enrolled (50 consecutive patients per centre). Referral accuracy and predictive value of referral criteria for an intervention or further monitoring (positive predictive value) were analysed.ResultsSame-day discharges occurred in 43% (95% CI 39% to 75%) (12/28) of optometrist-initiated referrals (UK only), 37% (95% CI 30% to 45%) (59/158) of ophthalmologist-initiated referrals (all centres) and 54% (95% CI 40% to 68%) (26/48) of self-referrals (Hungary, Italy and Greece). The percentages from all referral sources were 46% (95% CI 32% to 60%) in the UK, 56% (95% CI 44% to 70%) in Hungary, 30% (95% CI 17% to 43%) in Slovenia, 22% (95% CI 11% to 34%) in Italy and 60% (95% CI 46% to 74%) in Greece (p<0.001). Overall, the referring criterion was confirmed in 54% (95% CI 45% to 63%) (64/119) for intraocular pressure (IOP) >21 mm Hg, 56% (95% CI 43% to 69%) (33/59) for a suspicious optic disc and 61% (95% CI 45% to 77%) (22/36) for a suspicious visual field, with large between-country differences (p<0.05 for all comparisons). Of all referrals, 32% (95% CI 26% to 37%) were initiated on the basis of IOP >21 mm Hg only. By combining the IOP criterion with any other referring criterion, the positive predictive value increased from 56% (95% CI 45% to 67%) to at least 89% (95% CI 68% to 100%). In the UK, a hypothetical IOP threshold of >26 mm Hg, as a requirement for IOP-only referrals, would reduce IOP-only referrals by 44%, while not missing any definite glaucoma cases.ConclusionThe accuracy of referrals was poor in the UK and the other countries. Requiring a combination of criteria and raising the IOP threshold for IOP-only referrals are needed to cut waste in clinical care.

Journal of Clinical Oncology 32, no. 3_suppl (January 20, 2014): 323. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2014.32.3_suppl.323.
Full textAbstract:
323 Background: Because HCC usually occurs in the presence of liver disease, patient (pt) evaluation and treatment are complex and require multidisciplinary care. Tumor staging and liver function scoring systems facilitate HCC research and treatment. However, specialists have varied training in these systems. We evaluated specialty-specific reporting of HCC-related staging/scoring data. Methods: GIDEON is a global, prospective, non-interventional study to evaluate sorafenib (SOR) in HCC under real-life practice conditions. Pts with unresectable HCC who were candidates for systemic therapy and for whom a decision was made to treat with SOR were eligible. Frequency of recorded Child-Pugh (CP); Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC); Cancer of the Liver Italian Program (CLIP); Tumor, Nodes, Metastasis (TNM); and calculated Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) data were analyzed by physician specialty. Results are descriptive. Results: In the safety population (n=563), 299 pts (41%) were enrolled by medical oncology (MO), 228 (40%) by hepatology/gastroenterology (H/G), and 39 (5%) by other (23 by surgeons; 7 by interventional radiologists). 89% were treated by a multidisciplinary team. MO pts were twice as likely as H/G pts to be not evaluable (NE) for CP (table). Unknown international normalized ratio (INR) was the primary reason CP was NE. MO and H/G pts had similar % NE for BCLC stage. H/G pts were more likely to have ECOG performance status (PS) not recorded. MO pts were less likely to have CLIP or MELD data, while H/G pts were less likely to have TNM data. Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) were unknown in 17% overall. Conclusions: The elements of HCC staging systems represent factors that may influence patient management. Lack of complete data in up to 44% of pts, despite registry enrollment requiring data collection, suggests clinicians may be missing important information and the prevalence of clinicians using comprehensive HCC staging systems is variable.

PURPOSE There is increasing interest in implementing digital systems for remote monitoring of patients’ symptoms during routine oncology practice. Information is limited about the clinical utility and user perceptions of these systems. METHODS PRO-TECT is a multicenter trial evaluating implementation of electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) among adults with advanced and metastatic cancers receiving treatment at US community oncology practices (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03249090 ). Questions derived from the Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) are administered weekly by web or automated telephone system, with alerts to nurses for severe or worsening symptoms. To elicit user feedback, surveys were administered to participating patients and clinicians. RESULTS Among 496 patients across 26 practices, the majority found the system and questions easy to understand (95%), easy to use (93%), and relevant to their care (91%). Most patients reported that PRO information was used by their clinicians for care (70%), improved discussions with clinicians (73%), made them feel more in control of their own care (77%), and would recommend the system to other patients (89%). Scores for most patient feedback questions were significantly positively correlated with weekly PRO completion rates in both univariate and multivariable analyses. Among 57 nurses, most reported that PRO information was helpful for clinical documentation (79%), increased efficiency of patient discussions (84%), and was useful for patient care (75%). Among 39 oncologists, most found PRO information useful (91%), with 65% using PROs to guide patient discussions sometimes or often and 65% using PROs to make treatment decisions sometimes or often. CONCLUSION These findings support the clinical utility and value of implementing digital systems for monitoring PROs, including the PRO-CTCAE, in routine cancer care.

AbstractTVRI status changing into public service broadcasting, both for its central broadcast station and its local broadcast station in 2003 brought many significant changes in these oldest television broadcast station in Indonesia. One of the most significant changes that can be traced is on its funding system. As a public service broadcasting, TVRI was guaranted to obtain the operational fund through the state or regional budget funding mechanisme. The government also promised that TVRI will be given oppportunity to operate like private broadcast station in order to gain maximal profit which has stated through government regulations and broadcasting acts. Inevitably consequent of this funding practice system, has put TVRI to always depend on goverment in order to operate daily. In the other hand, this funding system also will make TVRI gain a lot of profit and income commercially. These mixed funding systems indicate that there are political economy interest behind the new status that has been granted for TVRI. The problem is located on the practice of this kind model of funding on a public service broadcasting that will make the neutrality and independency of this public service broadcasting to be questioned. The remaining quetions, Will TVRI come to its own realazation to visualize its idealism to be the true public service broadcasting that serves public needs or will TVRI be crushed by the economy politic media policy and serve those who has a power that control the media Keywords: media, public service broadcasting, economy politic media, broadcast act

Full textAbstract:
Lygodium microphyllum (Cav.) R.Br. (Old World climbing fern), in the family Schizaeaceae, is one of the most invasive (Category I in Florida) weeds in Florida. It has invaded more than 50,000 ha of wetlands and moist habitats in southern Florida and is rapidly spreading in new areas of the Everglades (3). The search and evaluation of biocontrol agents for this fern is currently in progress. Puccinia lygodii (Har.) Arth. (Uredinales) (1), previously recorded on L. volubile Sw. and L. venustum Sw. in South America (2), attacks foliage and severely damages L. japonicum Thunb. (Japanese climbing fern) vines in northern and central Florida (4). We hypothesized that since L. japonicum occurred mainly in northern and central Florida, P. lygodii did not have opportunity to interact with L. microphyllum, which primarily occurs in southern Florida. Therefore, we used two inoculation methods to test the possible pathogenicity of P. lygodii on the new host, L. microphyllum. Method-I was designed to imitate a seminatural inoculation technique in which three containerized (0.45-L capacity) L. microphyllum test plants (15- to 30-cm-high sporelings) were intermixed among a group of containerized (5.0-L capacity) P. lygodii-infected L. japonicum plants (source of inoculum) in a glasshouse. In Method-II, uredospores obtained from pustules on diseased L. japonicum foliage were adjusted to 1 × 106 uredospores/ml and then misted on three L. microphyllum sporelings (same size as in Method-I) until foliage was completely wet. The plants were then covered individually with a plastic bag for 3 days to facilitate spore germination and infection. In both methods, three L. japonicum sporelings of similar size as L. microphyllum were intermixed among diseased L. japonicum plants as a positive control. All test and infected plants were placed on 6-cm-high trays filled two-thirds with water and exposed to diffused daylight and a temperature range of 20 to 35°C in a glasshouse. These plants were monitored for the development of rust symptoms (halos and rust pustules) development for 8 weeks. Minute cinnamon flakes that developed into eruptive pustules were seen on the lower surface of the pinnules approximately 42 and 28 days after treatment initiation (in both methods) for L. microphyllum and L. japonicum (positive control), respectively. Each method was repeated twice. Dimensions (29.7 [±3.7] × 23.5 [±2.6] μm) and morphology of urediniospores from pustules on inoculated L. microphyllum were similar to those reported for P. lygodii on other host systems (1,2,4). To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating the infection of P. lygodii on L. microphyllum. The potential use of P. lygodii as a classical bio-control agent of L. microphyllum in southern Florida will be further investigated. References: (1) J. C. Arthur. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 51:55, 1924.
