Background: Chronic kidney disease palliative care guidelines would benefit from more diverse and objectively defined health status measures. Aim: The aim is to identify high-risk patients from administrative data and facilitate timely and uniform palliative care involvement. Design: It is a retrospective cohort study. Setting/participants: In total, 45,368 Veterans, with chronic kidney disease Stage 3, 4, or 5, were monitored for up to 6 years and categorized into three groups, based on whether they died, started dialysis, or avoided both outcomes. Results: Patient’s appointment utilization was a significant predictor for both outcomes. It separated individuals into low, medium, and high appointment utilizers. Among the low appointment utilizers, the risk of death did not change significantly, while the risk of dialysis increased. Medium appointment utilizers had a stable risk of death and a decreasing risk of dialysis. Significant appointment utilization (above 31 visits during the baseline year) helped high-risk patients avoid both outcomes of interest—death and dialysis. Conclusion: Our model could justify the creation of a novel palliative care introduction trigger, as patients with medium demand for care may benefit from additional palliative care evaluation. The trigger could facilitate the uniformization of conservative treatment preparations. It could prompt messages to a managing physician when a patient crosses the threshold between low and medium appointment utilization. It may also aid in system-level policy development. Furthermore, our results highlight the benefit of significant appointment utilization among high-risk patients.

79 Background: Supportive Care Outpatient Clinics (SCOC) offer comprehensive care and symptom management to patients with advanced cancer (AdCa). Missed appointments (MA) are important source of problems to patient care and clinic operations. But there are no studies on the clinical outcomes of patients who fail to show for consultation. Methods: We determined the frequency of MA, including clinical and demographic data, and reviewed clinic appointment records for 218 consecutive kept (KA) and 218 MA for distinct patients referred to SCOC from January to December 2011. Results: 218/1,352(16%) AdCa who were referred to our SCOC, missed their appointment. Median age was 57 years (interquartile range 49-67). The mean(range) time between referral and appointment was 7.4 days(0-71) for KA vs. 9.1 days(0-89) for MA (p=0.0062). Age, gender, marital status, and cancer types or stages, and reasons for referral to SCOC were not significantly different between MA and KA patients. The reasons for MA were: admission to the hospital 17/218(8%), death 4/218(2%), appointment with primary oncologist 37/218(18%), other appointments 19/218(9%), visits to emergency room(ER) 9/218(9%), and unknown 111/218(54%). MA patients visited more the ER at 2 weeks 16/214(7%) vs. 5/217(2%), p=0.01, and 4 weeks 17/205(8%) vs. 8/217(4%), p=0.06. Median survival for MA patients was 177 days (range:127-215) vs. 253 days (range:192-347) for KA patients (p=0.013). Multivariate analysis showed that MA were associated to the time between referral and scheduled appointment (OR: 1.026/day, p=0.03), referral from targeted therapy services (OR:2.177, p=0.004), living at Texas/Louisiana regions (OR;2.345, p=0.002), having advanced directives (OR:0.154, P<0.0001), and being referred for symptom control(OR:0.024, p=0.0003). Conclusions: AdCa with MA have worse survival and increased ER utilization. We identified AdCa at higher risk for MA who should undergo more aggressive follow up. More research on MA prevention is needed.

Full textAbstract:
William Somerset Maugham's short story “The Appointment in Samarra” (1933) narrates a theme of how someone cannot avoid death, but the death is represented through a female figure. The research aims to expose a critic toward the representation of death through female character which is a cultivation of patriarchal ideas through literary works. This research used deconstruction framework as a reference to expose the paradox between woman and death. This was a qualitative research with an intertextuality approach. The data were in the form of quotations in the text and the source of the data was William Somerset Maugham’s short story “The Appointment in Samarra”. The data were collected through documentation technique and analysed with interpretation method. The results showed that the representation of death through woman was a patriarchal discourse and, with deconstructive reading, the narrative presented a paradoxical side; on one side, it presented that woman had horrible character, but on the other side, the horrible character implied power. Dismantling of the patriarchal discourse made the decon-structive process in this text became study of feminist deconstruction.

Since the death of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the question of Islamic Governance has become a hot debate among Islamic scholars, among others the appointment of leaders. Hence, the Islamic history has proven that there are various concepts of leadership appointments that make it possible to pinpoint the best one, especially for today’s state of affairs. The objective of this study was to explain the position of the theories of Islamic scholars on the appointment of leaders from the perspective of Fiqh Siyasah. This study was qualitative because it involved library researches on political books and Islamic history. The findings showed that there were seven forms of leadership appointments in the context of Fiqh Siyasah, based on three theories of Islamic thought. The first was Islamic thought in the 7th to 13th AD, second was Islamic thought in the 14th and 18th centuries of Islam and the third was Islamic thought of the 19th century until present day. In conclusion, these theories showed that the appointment of leaders was a matter of ijtihad. As compared to the today’s concept of the appointment of leaders, it is not contrary to Islamic values according to Fiqh Siyasah.Keywords: al-Hall wa al-‘Aqd, Fiqh Siyasah, Mushawarah, Islamic Political Thought and Leader Appointment
Sejak kewafatan Rasulullah s.a.w. persoalan ketatanegaraan Islam menjadi perdebatan hangat dalam kalangan para sarjana Islam antaranya perlantikan pemimpin. Justeru, sejarah Islam telah membuktikan bahawa terdapat pelbagai konsep perlantikan pemimpin sehingga tidak dinyatakan konsep terbaik untuk diamalkan pada masa kini. Objektif kajian ini menjelaskan kedudukan teori-teori para sarjana Islam berhubung perlantikan pemimpin dari perspektif fiqh siyāsah. Kajian ini bersifat kajian kualitatif kerana melibatkan penelitian perpustakaan terhadap buku-buku politik dan sejarah Islam. Dapatan kajian ini menjelaskan terdapat tujuh bentuk pelantikan pemimpin dalam konteks fiqh siyasah berasaskan tiga teori pemikiran Islam iaitu pertama pemikiran Islam pada abad 7 hingga 13 Masihi, kedua pemikiran Islam pada abad 14 hingga 18 Masihi dan ketiga pemikiran Islam pada abad 19 hingga sekarang. Kesimpulannya, teori-teori ini menunjukkan perlantikan pemimpin merupakan perkara ijtihad. Jika dibandingkan konsep pelantikan pemimpin pada masa sekarang ini, ianya tidak berlawanan dengan nilai-nilai keislaman menurut fiqh siyasah.

Des English was a person of great charm, innovation, and inner strength. His early death at the age of 44 in 1977 came as a bitter blow not only for his family but for the many teachers and parents he had influenced and guided in respectively providing and in seeking educational opportunities for children with disabilities. Des grew up in a small town in Victoria called Donnybrook, north of Melbourne. He was educated by the Marist Brothers at Kilmore College, and in the 50’s trained as a primary teacher at Geelong Teachers College, from which he gained an extension of one year to study as a Special Teacher at Melbourne Teachers College. His first appointment was as an Opportunity Grade teacher at North Melbourne State School. His talent for leadership surfaced early and in his second appointment he became Principal of Footscray Special School for children and adolescents with intellectual disability. Throughout the rest of his career he gained one promotion after another to the Principal positions at Ormond, Travencore and St. Alban’s Special schools. I was fortunate to work as a deputy principal with him throughout his last two appointments.

Full textAbstract:
Object The aim of this study was to examine the variables influencing the mode and location of death in patients admitted to a neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU), including the participation of a newly appointed neurointensivist (NI). Methods Data from all patients admitted to a university hospital NICU were prospectively collected and compared between 2 consecutive 19-month periods before and after the appointment of an NI. Results One thousand eighty-seven patients were admitted before and 1279 after the NI's appointment. The withdrawal of life support (WOLS) occurred in 52% of all cases of death. Death following WOLS compared with survival was independently associated with an older patient age (OR 1.04/year, 95% CI 1.03–1.05), a higher University Hospitals Consortium (UHC) expected mortality rate (OR 1.05/%, 95% CI 1.04–1.07), transfer from another hospital (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.6–8.4) or admission through the emergency department (OR 5.3, 95% CI 2.4–12), admission to the neurosurgery service (OR 7.5, 95% CI 3.2–17.6), and diagnosis of an ischemic stroke (OR 5.4, 95% CI 1.4–20.8) or intracerebral hemorrhage (OR 5.7, 95% CI 1.9–16.7). On discharge from the NICU, 54 patients died on the hospital ward (2.7% mortality rate). A younger patient age (OR 0.94/year, 95% CI 0.92–0.96), higher UHC-expected mortality rate (OR 1.01/%, 95% CI 1–1.03), and admission to the neurosurgery service (OR 9.35, 95% CI 1.83–47.7) were associated with death in the NICU rather than the ward. There was no association between the participation of an NI and WOLS or ward mortality rate. Conclusions The mode and location of death in NICU-admitted patients did not change after the appointment of an NI. Factors other than the participation of an NI—including patient age and the severity and type of neurological injury—play a significant role in the decision to withdraw life support in the NICU or dying in-hospital after discharge from the NICU.

AbstractIn earlier research Dtn 34:1a*, 7-9 are mostly regarded as fragments of the priestly report of Moses' death. Since 1988 this has often been denied; however, the present article argues for the traditional position. The absence of a priestly notice on Moses' death ist no proof against P, since the pentateuchal redaction had only used fragments of the priestly report for the birth of Esau and Jacob (Gen 25:19, 20, 26b) as well. Further it is demonstrated that Aaron's death (Num 20:22bff.*), Num 22:1, the announcement of Moses' death and the appointment of Joshua (Num 27:12ff.) belong to P and prepare for the death of Moses. The age of Moses in Ex 7:7 (P) confirms that P knew the oldest deuteronomistic layer in Dtn 3:23ff.*; 31:1-8* and 34:1-6*.

With the death of first president of Uzbekistan Karimov, and Mirziyoyev’s appointment as interim president in 2016 and election to the presidency in December of the same year, speculation appeared in the media suggesting that Uzbekistan would move closer to Russia because of the close personal ties between the president and Russian elites. Others suggested that Uzbekistan would either follow the path designed by the first president or fall into isolationism like Turkmenistan. This article aims to explain the continuity and shifts in Uzbekistan’s foreign policy behaviour in the year following the death of the first president and the election of President Mirziyoyev.

The participants were 764 subjects of working age with an appointment to attend a psychiatric out-patient clinic for the first time. The intervention was an ‘orientation statement’ letter delivered 24–48 h before the first appointment compared with standard care. The primary outcome measure was attendance at the first appointment; secondary outcomes included hospitalization, transfer of care, continuing attendance, discharge, presentation at accident and emergency and death by 1 year.ResultsFollow-up was for 763 out of 764 subjects (>99%) for primary and for 755 out of 764 subjects (98.8%) of secondary outcome data. The orientation statement significantly reduced the numbers of people failing to attend [79 out of 388 v. 101 out of 376 subjects, relative risk 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.59–0.98, number needed to treat 16, 95% CI 10–187].ConclusionsPrompting people to go to psychiatric out-patient clinics for the first time encourages them to attend.

More than 25 million people have diabetes in the United States and its complications make it a leading cause of death. Pacific Islanders, specifically Micronesians, experience even higher rates of diabetes, and pharmacist care for these individuals may improve health outcomes. Objective: To better address health disparities in this population, a health center serving Hawaii Island added clinical pharmacy services into their shared medical appointment program for diabetes management. Methods: Standard care (n= 21) consisted of weekly education sessions for patients provided by a multi-disciplinary team, after which patients had one-on-one appointments with a primary care provider if they met threshold clinical criteria. The intervention group (n=36) received the same services, plus a medication management service provided by a pharmacist during the one-on-one appointments. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the pharmacist care and standard care groups on clinical measures including glycosylated hemoglobin, low density lipoprotein and blood pressure at the end of the eighteenmonth intervention period. Conclusion: Pacific Islanders face unique health care challenges including low socioeconomic status, language barriers and differences in cultural perceptions of health care. The value of clinical pharmacy has been well-documented in the literature but further study of the role and impact of these services is warranted for high-risk populations.

Objective. Research continues to highlight variability in hospital policy and documentation of brain death. The aim of our study was to characterize how strictly new guidelines of American Academy of Neurology (AAN) for death by neurological criteria were practiced in our hospital prior to appointment of neurointensivists. Method. This is a retrospective study of adults diagnosed as brain dead from 2011 to 2015. Descriptive statistics compared five categories: preclinical testing, neurological examination, apnea tests, ancillary test, and documentation of time of death. Strict adherence to AAN guidelines for brain death determination was determined. Result. 76 patients were included in this study. Preclinical prerequisites were fulfilled in 53.9% and complete neurological examinations were documented in 76.3%. Apnea test was completed in 39.5%. Ancillary test was completed in 29.8%. Accurate documentation of time of death occurred in 59.2%. Overall, strict adherence to current AAN guidelines for death by neurological criteria was correctly documented in 38.2%. Conclusion. Our study shows wide variability in diagnosing brain death. These findings led us to update our death by neurological criteria policy and increase awareness of brain death determination with the goal of improving our documentation following current AAN guidelines.

Abstract This paper revisits the author’s research on the christology of Hebrews completed in the 1970s in the light of subsequent research. It concentrates, in particular, on the way key problems of interpretation have been handled. These include the extent to which the author’s atonement day typology dictates a soteriology which reduces Christ’s death to a preparatory event and depicts a heavenly offering as the salvific event or, conversely, whether the author employs atonement day typology selectively to interpret Jesus’ death as salvific. It also addresses the associated problems created by parts of the book which report Jesus’ appointment at high priesthood as occurring after his death at his exaltation and other parts which appear to imply that he was acting as a high priest already during his earthly ministry.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives To compare the mortality experience of 112 justices of the US Supreme Court with that expected in the general population. To identify variables associated with mortality within this cohort. Background Supreme Court justices are a select occupational cohort. High socio-economic status, advanced education, lifetime appointment, and the healthy worker effect suggest lower mortality. Sedentary work, stress, and a tendency to work beyond typical retirement age may attenuate this. Methods Standardized mortality ratios compare the observed mortality rates of justices with those expected in age- and sex-matched contemporary general populations. Poisson regression analyzes variables associated with mortality within the cohort. Results From 1789 to 2013, 112 justices (108 male) contributed 2,355 person-years of exposure. Mean age (standard deviation) at appointment was 53.1 years (6.7); at retirement 69.7 years (9.9); at death (n = 100) 74.4 years (10.3); and at end of the study for those alive (n = 12) 72.1 years (11.8). Standardized mortality ratios (95% ci) were: overall 0.87 (0.70-1.05); prior to 1950 0.92 (0.61-1.33); and from 1950 to 2013 0.66 (0.42-0.99). Variables in the final Poisson model and their associated mortality rate ratios (95% ci) were: age 1.06 (1.03-1.09); calendar year 0.99 (0.99-1.00); active status 0.41 (0.25-0.68); career length 1.04 (1.01-1.07); and chief justice 1.08 (0.59-1.84). Conclusions Supreme Court mortality was lower than that of the general population in the period from 1950 to the present, but was on par prior to 1950. Increasing age and career length were associated with greater mortality, while active status and later calendar year with lower. These results may add to a body of knowledge that may help to develop or refine models of mortality risk in increasingly aged working populations.

Men have a higher age-adjusted death rate from many of the leading causes of death, compared with women. Avoidance of health care and unhealthy behavior contribute to premature death among men. The Lahey Clinic recently initiated a program, the Men's Educational Group Appointment (MEGA), which capitalizes on the potential benefits of group dynamics in an effort to educate men about preventative health. We hypothesized that putting men into a group setting for the educational portion of the visit would improve information exchange and patient learning. During 12 months, 261 men between the ages of 22 and 67 were evaluated. A survey designed to address both patient satisfaction and patients' perceptions regarding how much they learned was administered to all patients following the MEGA session. We identified high patient satisfaction with the MEGA model. This study illustrates the potential utility of the group model for improving patient education regarding health maintenance among men.

The World Trade Organization's (WTO's) dispute settlement system is facing “unprecedented challenges,” with the current U.S. government waging a “stealth war” on the Organization's Appellate Body (AB). The tactics of this war include procedural objections to the (re)appointment of AB members—those individuals selected to sit in Geneva and rule on trade disputes. Countries have blocked appointments in the past, but the Trump administration's strategy to effectively shut down the AB's ability to hear disputes—by bringing the number of sitting judges below the required three to hear a dispute—represents a new development. In short, the trade regime is dying a slow, piecemeal death, with American challenges “killing the WTO from the inside.” Yet the sources of this crisis are not new. The organization's judges and bureaucracy have deftly managed simmering discontent for nearly two decades, but we have now reached a boiling point. In this contribution, I first describe the sources of the current impasse before discussing how the WTO's adjudicative bodies have sought to address government dissatisfaction in the past and the implications of such judicial responsiveness for reform of the system moving forward.

AbstractThis essay is a preliminary sketch for a book that examines Michelangelo Buonarroti’s final eighteen years, from his appointment as architect of St. Peter’s until his death in 1564, that is, from age seventy-one to a few weeks shy of eighty-nine. This period represents nearly a quarter of his approximately seventy-five-year artistic career, yet it remains the least familiar segment of Michelangelo’s long life. It is paradoxical that in the final phase of his career, Michelangelo remained prodigiously creative and influential without being prolific — as he had been earlier in his career. His late life was concerned less with making things than with finding the courage and devotion to continue tasks that he knew he would never see to fruition, and this despite the loss of his closest friends, greatest patron, and his entire family.

Full textAbstract:
The year 1806–7 marked a critical juncture in British politics. The death in January 1806 of William Pitt, prime minister for nearly a generation, threw Westminster into disarray and brought the Foxite whigs into power for the first time since December 1783. For Scottish adherents of Pitt, the damage was compounded by the impeachment about to begin in April 1806, of Henry Dundas, Lord Melville, the kingpin of Scottish patronage at Westminster. For Walter Scott (1771–1832), who had just become famous after the publication of The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805), this meant a last-minute journey to London in January 1806 to save a political appointment that would allow him to make literature his vocation. The death of Pitt and the vanquishing of Melville represented a personal catastrophe for the ambitious thirty-four-year-old Scott, and he moved quickly to secure the appointment about to be lost to him. My article looks at the negotiations of Scott, and more broadly those of Pitt's followers behind the scenes, as the All the Talents cabinet was being assembled and as Scottish patronage entered a new era after the fall of Melville. Scott proved to be a skilled negotiator at Westminster: he would eventually go on in 1822 to preside over the first visit of a Hanoverian monarch to Scotland. Culturally speaking, he was to take over where Melville had left off, and through his poetry and novels bring recognition to Scotland's role in Britain.

PURPOSE: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, with outcomes likely worsened by the presence of poorer outcomes among vulnerable populations such as the homeless. We hypothesized that homeless patients experience delays in biopsy, decreased appointment adherence, and increased overall mortality rates. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective electronic medical record–based review of all patients with non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC; N = 133) between September 2012 and September 2018 at an academic county hospital in Seattle, Washington. RESULTS: Of the 133 patients treated for NSCLC, 22 (17%) were homeless at the time of their treatment. Among homeless patients with localized lung cancer, the mean time from radiographic finding to biopsy was 248 days, compared with 116 days among housed patients ( P = .37). Homeless patients with advanced disease missed a mean of 26% of appointments in the year after diagnosis, compared with 16% among housed patients ( P = .03). Homeless patients with advanced NSCLC had a median survival of 0.58 years, versus 1.30 years in housed patients ( P = .48). CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first US study comparing outcomes among homeless and housed patients with NSCLC within the same institution; we found homeless patients had longer delays to biopsy, increased rates of missed appointments, and a trend toward decreased survival. This study shows potential areas where interventions could be implemented to improve lung cancer outcomes in this patient population.

Abstract Background Retention in care (RIC) leads to reduced HIV transmission and mortality. Few studies have investigated clinic services and RIC among people living with HIV (PLWH) in the United States. We conducted a multisite retrospective cohort study to identify clinic services associated with RIC from 2010–2016 in the United States. Methods PLWH with ≥1 HIV primary care visit from 2010–2016 at 7 sites in the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) were included. Clinic-level factors evaluated via site survey included patients per provider/trainee, navigation, RIC posters/brochures, laboratory test timing, flexible scheduling, appointment reminder methods, and stigma support services. RIC was defined as ≥2 encounters per year, ≥90 days apart, observed until death, administrative censoring (31 December 2016), or loss to follow-up (censoring at first 12-month interval without a visit with no future visits). Poisson regression with robust error variance, clustered by site adjusting for calendar year, age, sex, race/ethnicity, and HIV transmission risk factor, estimated risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for RIC. Results Among 21 046 PLWH contributing 103 348 person-years, 67% of person-years were retained. Availability of text appointment reminders (RR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.03–1.24) and stigma support services (RR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.04–1.19) were associated with better RIC. Disparities persisted for age, sex, and race. Conclusions Availability of text appointment reminders and stigma support services was associated with higher rates of RIC, indicating that these may be feasible and effective approaches for improving RIC.

The aim of the article is to examine the Senate’s procedure in the appointment of the US Supreme Court justices, with special emphasis on the use of filibuster as a mechanism of blocking the presidential nomination. The analysis seems significant in the context of the on-going debates concerning the judiciary reforms in the European countries. The adopted hypothesis presumes that changes implemented in the Senate procedure during the last attempts to fill the vacancy after the death of one of the justices in 2016, have disturbed the established traditions and have significantly weakened and dangerously politicised the procedure.

The article sets out the main historical milestones in the development of forensic ballistics, summarizes the literature on the incidence of lethal gunshot injuries in the world, and presents the results of our own study of deaths from gunshot injuries in Minsk from 2009 to 2018. Medical and social laws have been established on the basis of which the forensic medical characteristic of a fatal gunshot injury, compiled average statistical “portraits” of those killed as a result of this type of violent death have been drawn up. Analysis of the results of the study allows us to come to the following conclusions: – the results of statistical reports and scientific literature indicate a high level of occurrence of fatal injuries in the structure of violent death in the world, is one of the main areas studied by forensic science and practice in the study of gunshot injuries; – on the basis of a retrospective study, this forensic medical characteristic of a fatal gunshot injury in Minsk for the period from January 01, 2009 to December 31, 2018. It includes the type of death, gender, age, time of year, time of day, district of the city, place of causing gunshot injuries, presence ethyl alcohol, the place of death, the type of weapon, the type of ammunition, the type and location of the wound; – the average “portraits” of people who died in Minsk in 2009-2018 were compiled because of this type of violent death. In the “Expert Conclusion” and the decisions on the appointment of forensic medical examinations for the studied period, information about the possible ricocheting nature of the gunshot injuries was not found. This may be due to the lack of methods for establishing the fact and parameters of the ricochet of the gunshot and testifies to the need for further experimental studies in areas of forensic ballistics.

Full textAbstract:
Before a gathering of the White House Press corps on March 21, 1930, President Herbert Hoover announced his nomination for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to fill a vacancy unexpectedly created by the death of Edward T. Sanford. His nominee was forty-four year old native North Carolinian John J. Parker, a member since 1925 of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Within days of the nomination organized labor and its allies in Congress and the press unleashed withering attacks on a single judicial opinion authored by Parker. In the process, the priority of issues raised in that case was dramatically inverted. The foremost issue, federal jurisdiction, became subordinated to the scope of an injunctive decree, an issue of secondary importance. Thus, the nominee's three year old opinion in International Union, United Mine Workers of America v. Red Jacket Consolidated Coal and Coke Company became the catalyst for transforming him from relative obscurity into a symbol of anti-labor conservatism.

Introduction. Pacemakers are devices that modern medicine and cardiology cannot be imagined without. The technique of implantation comes to surgical procedure where all principles of asepsis and antisepsis have to be respected. Although some complications do happen, they are rather rare. Results. After the implantation of the device, the patient is not handicapped (unless the heart was additionally damaged). On the contrary, the patient returns to his work and functions normally within his family in most of the cases. The first medical appointment is scheduled a month after the implantation and the following are three and six months after. Types of devices. Today there are ?new types of electrostimulation?- implantable cardioverter defibrillators and multisite electrostimulators. The former is implanted in patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death and the latter in patients with heart failure and left bundle branch block. Owing to these devices, the sudden cardiac death can be prevented successfully and the quality of a patient?s life is improved.

Abstract Background Demand for outpatient appointments (OPAs) for IBD often exceeds capacity, partly due to scheduled follow up of patients who are well. The TrueColours-IBD (TC-IBD) platform and Escalation of Therapy or Intervention (ETI) calculator was trialed as a tool to triage appointments during the pandemic Methods TC-IBD is a web-based programme of email prompts linked to validated disease-specific indices. The ETI calculator was created after logistic regression showed that patient-reported symptoms and quality of life could calculate the probability of therapy escalation or intervention during an OPA (Fig 1). A score ≤20 equates to ≤10% chance of escalation The ETI calculator was developed for UC, but it was also applied to CD during the pandemic, replacing the SCCAI score with HBI. From Mar-Oct 2020 the ETI calculator was used to extend 145 OPAs (87 UC, 58 CD) from 1034 ETI assessments. TC-IBD data was assessed 2-6 weeks before a scheduled OPA. Patients were eligible for OPA extension if >2 symptom (SCCAI/HBI) and 1 QoL responses (IBD Control) within 4 weeks and ETI score ≤20. Patients with extended OPAs were monitored for 3 & 6-monthly ICHOM outcomes (www.ichom.org), collected through the TC-IBD platform Results ICHOM outcomes available for 113/145 patients at 3 mo and 125/145 patients at 6 mo. There were no emergency department visits, no hospitalisations, no surgery, colon cancer or death at either time point in patients whose appointment was extended. 1 patient with UC required prednisolone (Table 1) Conclusion Routine digital monitoring of symptoms, quality of life and PROMs can safely streamline outpatient care in IBD

The following study is original respect to the scientific panorama in fact, through a literature review that uses a qualitative metasynthesis method and follows the aggregative or meta-aggregative approach of the Joanna Briggs Institute, it returns to the reader 3 main results: the Anguish for an imminent death, the relationship with the body, sexuality, pain and dimension of the person, and the Perception of time and existentialism. Reflecting on the “philosophical state or philosophy of the patient in dialysis treatment” through these 3 macro-themes means investigating in depth the words of the patients, extrapolating their feelings, fears and worries, so as to understand their overall view of life and illness even in the most veiled aspects. Finally, the reflection will be used to direct the care of professionals towards a real and meaningful appointment of the dialysis patient. All thanks to the philosophy that goes beyond the methodology of research and evaluation of data, through the interpretation, direction and demonstration of the concept of limit, as an intrinsic part of man, disease and science.

BENJAMIN BANNEKER was a farmer, scholar, mathematical wizard, and a selftaught astronomer and surveyor. An African American, he was born a free man in Maryland in 1731. At the age of twenty-two, using only a pocket watch as a guide, he built a wooden striking clock that kept accurate time and continued to strike until it burned in a fire shortly after his death. He wrote an almanac and ephemeris from 1791 through 1802—some were published and widely distributed in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. In 1791, Banneker received an appointment to assist in surveying the lines of the Federal Territory—a tenmile square now known as the District of Columbia. Banneker died in 1806 on his Maryland farm (Benjamin Banneker Association 2003).

In common with other members of this group, he made important and lasting contributions to both the theory and the practice of his chosen discipline. Although the growth of natural product chemistry was less dramatic during the 1970s and beyond, he transposed his activities increasingly into mechanistic studies and so remained one of the leaders of chemistry in the UK. He occupied the Chair of Organic Chemistry at Sheffield University from 1963 to his retirement in 1990, and thereafter continued to be involved in chemistry through an honorary appointment at Birmingham University until his death in 1999.

This paper aims to conduct a study of Isa al Masih in the view of al-Qadiyaniah. Islam believes that the prophet Isa al-Masih was appointed by Allah to rise from the pursuit of the Jews who wanted to crucify and kill him and then be lowered at the end of time. This belief is opposed by followers of al-Qodiyaniyah, they consider that the belief of Muslims and Christians is a distorted belief. Al-Qodiyaniah believes that Isa al-Masih did not die and was not taken up to heaven. This study is using a library research method with a qualitative approach. Research results show that Jesus was crucified and did not die on the cross, but Isa al-Masih was lowered from the cross and then migrated to Kasymir until his death and was buried there. And as for the purpose of the appointment of Jesus according to Qodiyaniyah is the departure of Jesus to Kasymir after being crucified, and another purpose of the appointment of Jesus is to elevate the degree and praise for Jesus, not appointed his body. as well as the purpose of the fall of Jesus for the second time is the rise of Islam and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is a person who is trying to revive that religion of Islam. And among al-Qodiyaniyah's beliefs is that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is as Isa al-Masih and also as Imam al-Mahdi in one body.

AbstractBackground:This study investigated the quality of care delivered by nurse practitioner (NP)–physician teams employed to expand clinic appointment availability for patients with epilepsy.Methods:We performed a retrospective observational cohort study of patients with epilepsy presenting to the Penn Epilepsy Center for a new patient appointment in 2014. During this time, patients were seen either by an NP–physician team care model or a more traditional physician-only care model. These care models were compared with regard to adherence to the 2014 American Academy of Neurology epilepsy quality measures at the initial visit. Clinical outcomes of seizure frequency, presentations to the Emergency Department, injury, and death were assessed over the subsequent year.Results:A total of 169 patients were identified by our inclusion and exclusion criteria: 65 patients in the NP–physician team care model cohort and 104 patients in the physician-only care model cohort. The NP–physician team care model saw, on average, 3 more patients per clinic session. There were no meaningful differences between these cohorts in baseline characteristics. The NP–physician team care model showed equivalent adherence to the physician-only care model for the epilepsy quality measures, with superior adherence to the counseling measures of querying for side effects, provision of personalized epilepsy safety education, and screening for behavioral health disorders. The 2 care models performed similarly in all clinical outcomes.Conclusions:An NP–physician team care model employed to increase availability of care could also improve quality of care delivered.

Imamate is the main Shi'ite doctrine. They use the term Imam as a substitute for a degree of prophet office after his death. Shi'ites in particular Imami Itsna Asy'ari and Isma'ilism found an eligible priest to be after Prophet Muhammad’s death is Ali bin Abi Talib. While the Prophet never specify who should be a priest, he only mentions the qualities of a priest and accidental properties that are owned by Ali bin Abi Talib, so Ali should be chosen become a priest. Thinking about the Imamate, Shiites refer to events that occurred in Ghadir Khum, where the prophet has returned from the Farewell Pilgrimage stopped in Ghadir area Arafah. Then, he appointed and inaugurated Ali bin Abi Thaib to be his successor as priest. This event is believed by a group of Imami Itsna Asy'ari and Isma'ilism as the basis for the appointment of Ali as priests. In addition they also use Qur’anic verses that are understood and interpreted according to their version, as a proposition or argument in strengthening the doctrine of the Imamate.

The purpose of the work is to establish the dependence of medical and demographic indicators with risk factors for stroke and the organization of treatment and diagnostic process in patients of hospitals in Vinnytsia for the period 2017-2019, participating in the international program of the European Stroke Organization. The stroke register was created on the basis of the RES-Q report form of Vinnytsia hospitals, which are the most typical for the Podillia region of Ukraine. Estimation of correlations of medical and demographic indicators with unmodified factors of stroke, tactics of its management and condition of the patient at hospitalization was carried out by means of a statistical package "Statistica 5.5" with use of Pearson's statistics. The main features of the studied correlations are: with unmodified stroke factors - regardless of sex, patients of both hospitals have inverse weak correlations age of patients with the ability to pass 10 m and direct weak correlations with mortality; with patient status on admission - regardless of sex, patients in both hospitals have reversed mean strength correlations of ability to pass 10 m with level of consciousness, NIHSS stroke severity and NIHSS stroke scores, and direct, mostly medium-strength correlations with scores on the Glasgow scale, and with a mortality rate established a symmetrically opposite picture of correlations, in addition, with the duration of treatment established multidirectional reliable weak strength correlations; with indicators of quality of medical care - regardless of sex, patients of both hospitals have weak correlations, the ability to walk 10 m with an indicator or hospitalized patient to stroke block and the appointment of antithrombolytics and direct weak force correlations with statins, with an indicator of treatment duration regardless from sex in patients of both hospitals established weak direct correlations with the appointment of antithrombolytic drugs, and with the mortality rate in both hospitals, more pronounced in men, established direct weak and medium strength correlations with the appointment of antithrombolytic drugs and inverse weak and medium strength correlations with the appointment of statins and antihypertensive drugs. Thus, numerous direct and inverse, mainly weak strength correlations of age, season, admission status and specifics of treatment and diagnostic measures with duration of treatment, functional outcome and stroke mortality for each hospital in general and individually in men and women of relevant medical institutions.

Early in 1970, just as we were organizing The Hastings Center, we had to decide which issues on a long menu of possibilities should receive our early attention. At the top of our list was end-of-life care. Complaints about care for the dying had mounted during the 1960s, fueled by technological progress in sustaining life, by too many patients abandoned by physicians as they lay dying, by a lack of patient choice on how their lives should end, and by woefully inadequate pain management. After a few years of study, the care of the dying seemed to admit of a solution: giving patients more choice by the use of living wills or appointment of a surrogate, improving the training of physicians to better deal with death and discussion with patients, and creating a hospice movement and greatly enhanced palliative care.

Full textAbstract:
Botany was part of the broad intellectual territory of one of the University of Melbourne's four foundation chairs. From his appointment in 1854 until his death in 1899, Frederick McCoy was the Professor of Natural Science and, for most of that time, also honorary Director of the Colony of Victoria's National Museum. McCoy gained ideas about botany and botanic gardens and museums while studying and working at the University of Cambridge, where he attended Professor John Stevens Henslow's botany lectures in 1847. With help from Henslow and Victoria's Government Botanist, Ferdinand Mueller, McCoy acquired botanical collections and developed a class (system) garden at the University of Melbourne, where he taught botany to arts and medical students from 1863 until the establishment of the science degree and arrival of the Professor of Biology in 1887 left him only a rarely-taken botanical subject.

Abstrak : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kesintasan 3 tahun pasien HIV/AIDS berdasarkan ketidakpatuhan berobat. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kohort retrospektif di RSPI Prof. Dr. Sulianti Saroso tahun 2010-2012. Probabilitas survival kumulatif pasien HIV/AIDS di RSPI Prof dr. Sulianti Saroso pada tahun kedua (bulan ke-24) adalah 95,6% dan tahun ketiga (bulan ke-36) adalah 91%. Probabilitas kesintasan 3 tahun pasien yang patuh minum obat (97,6%) lebih tinggi dibandingkan pada yang tidak patuh minum obat (83,1%). Berdasarkan ketidakpatuhan terhadap janji ambil obat, probabilitas kesintasan 3 tahun pasien yang patuh ambil obat (93,8%) juga lebih tinggi dibanding yang tidak patuh (88,1%). Ketidakpatuhan minum obat dapat menyebabkan kegagalan terhadap penekanan replikasi virus HIV, sehingga meningkatkan kemungkinan bermutasinya virus HIV yang dapat menyebabkan resisten terhadap obat dan akhirnya dapat meningkatkan risiko kematian. Ketidakpatuhan terhadap janji ambil obat pada 1 tahun pertama juga diasumsikan juga akan menunjukkan ketidakpatuhan terhadap janji ambil obat selanjutnya dan menunjukkan ketidakpatuhan minum obat, sehingga meningkatkan risiko kematian. Perlu dilakuakan monitoring cakupan kepatuhan minum obat pasien HIV/AIDS secara berkala sebagai kewaspadaan dini terhadap risiko kematian pasien HIV/AIDS. Abstract :The objective of this study was to described 3-years survival of patients with HIV/AIDS based on non-compliance medication. This study used a retrospective cohort design at RSPI Prof. Dr. Sulianti Saroso in 2010-2012. The cumulative survival probability of patients with HIV/AIDS at RSPI Prof. dr. Sulianti Saroso in the second year (24th month) was 95.6% and the third year (in the 36th) was 91%. Probability 3-years survival patients with HIV/AIDS whom were adherence (97,6%) was higher than non-adherence (83,1%). Based on incompliance to appointment of taking drugs, probability 3-years survival among patient whom were compliance (93,8%) was also higher than incompliance (88,1%). Nonadherence to ART may caused a failure of the suppression on HIV viral, thus increase the possibility of HIV virus mutations that can lead to drug-resistant and ultimately increase the risk of death. Poor compliance to appointments of taking drugs in the first year also assumed the poor adherence of the next assignment to take drugs in the further, and show disobedience to ART, so it will increase the risk of death. Need to monitor coverage of medication adherence of patients with HIV/AIDS in a regular basis as the early warning on the risk of death among patients with HIV/AIDS.

Full textAbstract:
The slapdash, seamy character of the second half of Josephus'sAntiquitiesfrequently obscures the author's purpose; the recovery of this information is therefore often neglected, though scholars are becoming increasingly aware of the task's importance. A good example of this scholarly neglect concerns the little narrative complex ofAnt. 13.1-79, covering the period from Judas's death in battle against Bacchides in 160 BCE to the appointment of Jonathan as high priest (152 BCE) and the death of Demetrius I in 150 BCE; the complex concludes with two stories about Jewish affairs in Egypt (13.62-79). These stories have been clumsily introduced into a narrative which is otherwise a close paraphrase of 1 Maccabees, and are not commonly understood to have any relation to their context other than a vague chronological aptness: both stories are said to have occurred, like most of the high priesthood of Jonathan, in the reign of Ptolemy VI Philometor (13.79). I shall argue that the stories have not only a chronological but also a close thematic connection to their context, and that the narrative, properly understood, expresses a propagandists motif not hitherto noticed inAntiquities. Furthermore, this motif may have important implications for our understanding of Antiquities as a whole, and perhaps important historical implications, as well.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article examines the frameworks of artistic competition embodied in a 1534 contract for a contest of medalmaking between Benvenuto Cellini and Giovanni Bernardi, and in descriptions of other competitions, especially in Cellini’s autobiography. Strategies, decorum, and rhetoric of such competitions were embedded in notions of honor. In addition to personal and professional honor, court status and patronage were also at stake. By means of his competition with Bernardi and his medal of Pope Clement VII, Cellini hoped to recoup lost standing and favor, along with concomitant commissions and emoluments at the papal court — specifically, it is argued, an appointment at the Roman mint, where Cellini had been replaced by Bernardi in 1534. Cellini, however, was never rehabilitated at Clement’s court, and within days of the death of his patron, he murdered Pompeo de’ Capitaneis, the rival goldsmith whom he blamed for his loss of honor and profit.

BackgroundFollowing bereavement, families can be left with unanswered questions or issues of concern. We piloted a bereavement service model which was consultant and governance-led with the aim to reduce complaints, reduce litigation, reduce coroners' inquests and support families.MethodsFollowing the death of a patient, the next of kin was sent an invitation. Those that responded were offered a 1-hour appointment with a consultant, senior sister and a member of the governance team. Notes were taken to track themes and feedback sheets were introduced to gauge the usefulness of the service to families.ResultsOf 121 invitations sent out, 18 families (14.8%) used the service. Two families had already sought legal advice. Neither acted further. 44% said they would have made a complaint if the service had not been available. 78% stated that they had obtained closure.ConclusionA bereavement service model which is consultant and governance led may reduce complaints and reduce litigation.
