Abstract:

The Kairos wristband offers on-demand heart rate variability (HRV) assessment through its “Spot Check” feature, enabling standardized recordings for clinical, research, or self-tracking purposes, but its validity is untested. Therefore, we compared the Kairos wristband to electrocardiography (ECG) for resting HRV assessment in young adults, and investigated the influence of skin pigmentation (M-index) on measurement accuracy. Simultaneous 3 min Kairos and ECG samples were obtained in the supine (n = 32) and seated (n = 30) position. Comparisons included resting heart rate (RHR) and time domain (root-mean square of successive differences [RMSSD], standard deviation of normal RR intervals [SDNN]), frequency domain (low [LF] and high frequency [HF]), and non-linear (standard deviation 1 [SD1] and SD2) HRV metrics. RHR showed excellent agreement whereas HF, LF, and SD2 showed poor agreement. For the remaining metrics, SDNN showed the strongest absolute and relative agreement, followed by SD1 and RMSSD. However, most HRV metrics exhibited heteroscedasticity or proportional bias, with greater error and underestimation at higher HRV values. M-index was unrelated to method difference scores, except for seated SD2 (p = 0.01). The Kairos wristband can be used to measure RHR, but HRV assessment should be limited to SDNN for global variability and SD1 or RMSSD for cardiac–parasympathetic activity. However, these metrics should be interpreted within the level of agreement identified in this study, and with consideration of the observed trend of diminished accuracy with higher HRV values.

Abstract:

Timber harvesting operations, including manual and motor-manual activities, require workers who are in good health to be able to work effectively. The aim of our paper was to introduce a simplified index methodology for workload assessment. Generally available wearable technology, namely Garmin, Biostrap, and Whoop devices, were used. The dependence of the heart rate (HR) on physical workload was examined to calculate the Heart Rate Index. The case study was performed with several variations of chainsaw devices cutting the poplar wood. It was proved that the use of a heavier work tool, MS 500i/90 cm 9.3 kg, contributes both to the creation of a non-ergonomic working position and to an increase in the energy required to perform work, which was represented by an increase in heart rate. With a lighter work tool and a shorter cutting blade, both a decrease in heart rate and a reduction in the working time performed in a non-ergonomic position were achieved. The results can be used in common practice for workers’ self-assessment to increase safety and health protection at work or work productivity, not only in forestry-related professions.

Abstract:

Introduction: Sudden and unpredictable onset of pain is one of the biggest contributors to the morbidity of sickle cell disease (SCD), thought to occur due to obstruction of microvascular blood flow by rigid sickle-shaped red blood cells. Autonomic mediated vasoconstriction in the peripheral vasculature, with resulting decrease in tissue perfusion, is likely a triggering mechanism for the onset of vaso-occlusive pain, while the autonomic nervous system is also implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic neuropathic pain. Our analysis of 212 polysomnograms in SCD subjects showed that greater magnitude of nocturnal vasoconstriction (Mvasoc) is predictive of increased frequency of hospitalizations for vaso-occlusive pain crises (VOC) in the subsequent years (Chalacheva et al., Am J Hematol, 2020). In order to further develop this finding into a biomarker of more imminent pain, we monitored nocturnal photoplethysmography (PPG) at home with a wearable wristband device to measure vasoconstriction activity and heart rate variability, along with a daily electronic pain survey. Methods: 10 subjects with SCD were consented and underwent autonomic monitoring with a wristband device (Biostrap Inc) that uses an optical sensor to measure continuous PPG during sleep, with the raw PPG waveforms available from a cloud-based server. A unique biomarker (Mvasoc) was used to quantify the magnitude of vasoconstriction from the raw PPG signal, considering the frequency, magnitude, and duration of autonomic mediated spontaneous vasoconstrictions each night. Heart rate variability was derived from the pulse-to-pulse interval (PPI) of the PPG signal. Spectral indices of the PPI represent parasympathetic activity (high frequency power; HFP) and sympatho-vagal balance (Low to high Ratio; LHR = low frequency power(LFP)/HFP). Subjects concurrently documented daily pain incidence using an electronic text-based REDCap survey, with pain intensity measured on a scale of 1-10 if experiencing pain. Daily stress levels were also recorded on a scale of 1-10. Multivariate regression analysis was performed. Results: The subjects had a mean age of 25 years (range 14- 40 years) with an average hemoglobin of 8.8 g/dl . A total of 68 usable nocturnal PPG recordings were made (3-16 nights per subject). Therewere 25 incidents of pain on the day following autonomic monitoring with Biostrap, with the pain intensity ranging from 3-8. Multivariate analysis of nocturnal autonomic and vasoconstriction parameters revealed that a lower HFP ( p =0.0002) and a higher Mvasoc ( p=0.02) both preceded a higher intensity of pain the following day (Table 1). These results are consistent with a greater parasympathetic withdrawal and a higher magnitude of peripheral vasoconstriction predicting higher intensity of imminent pain. Age, gender, hemoglobin, stress levels and LHR were not predictive of pain the following day. Conclusion: Augmented nocturnal vasoconstriction and parasympathetic withdrawal noted prior to high intensity of pain imply that dysautonomia, with attendant changes in peripheral perfusion, has a significant role in pathogenesis of pain in SCD. Furthermore, autonomic vasoreactivity parameters were not significantly altered on the night after pain onset suggesting that the dysautonomia precedes pain. These results support the possibility of employing indices of nocturnal autonomic vasoreactivity as a predictive biomarker for imminent pain in SCD and provides a potential window for therapeutic intervention. This pilot study demonstrates the successful use of a wearable device PPG to remotely monitor nocturnal autonomic vasoreactivity and the ability to objectively quantify peripheral vasoconstriction responses. These findings will need to be applied in a larger cohort of SCD subjects with longer term monitoring for further validation and development of autonomic vasoreactivity as a predictive tool for pain in SCD.

Abstract:

Background: Duran foil, a type of Biostar foil, is utilized in splint therapy as a heat-cure acrylic substitute material. The Duran® gained popularity and broad use, and its strength and resilience to wear are its most important qualities that improve splint therapy. This study aimed to investigate the surface roughness and fracture strength of heat-cured acrylic resin and Biostar sheets. Materials and Methods: A total of 20 samples—10 heat-cured acrylic resin samples and 10 biostar sheet samples—were produced and split into two groups in order to measure fracture strength and surface roughness. Results: The fracture strength of biostar samples had the lowest fracture strength. The surface roughness of the biostar samples was also less than that of the acrylic samples. There were statistically significant differences between the study groups. Conclusion Duran Biostar is regarded as the material of first choice for removable orthodontic retainers due to its suitable mechanical properties.

Abstract:

<strong>Abstract</strong> Fabrication of a Hollow denture is a very well-researched area. Yet, many techniques require an opening to be made in the final prosthesis to remove the spacer material, and later seal the opening using cold cure acrylic. This procedure is like denture repair. Literature has shown procedures like denture repair to ultimately compromise the strength and were only 57% as strong as the original heat-cured material, further limiting the longevity of the prosthesis. This technique using thermoplastic splint in the fabrication of Hollow denture overcomes this disadvantage, as there is no need for the removal of a spacer. It is a simple and efficient method in the fabrication of a Hollow denture. Material and Method: Seal the trial denture on the stone cast and duplicate it in stone. Adapt a Biostar sheet (Scheu-Dental GmbH) on the duplicate stone cast using the Biostar machine (Scheu-Dental GmbH) to obtain a Biostar splint as the replica of the trial denture outline. On the other hand, prepare a heat-cured record base and place it on the edentulous cast. Following this, design the size and shape of the wax spacer and duplicate it in stone along with the seated record base and edentulous cast. Adapt a Biostar sheet on the duplicate stone cast (made from wax spacer) using the Biostar machine. This final Biostar splint is the spacer that will be incorporated into the denture during processing to create a hollow denture.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Traditional stamping systems require manual intervention, leading to inefficiencies, security concerns, and data loss. This paper presents an IoT-enabled Automated Physical Stamping System that integrates fingerprint authentication with a smart stamping mechanism. The system uses IoT sensors for automated activation and MERN stack for real-time data storage and monitoring. Upon fingerprint verification, the stamp extends automatically, and the timestamp and location are stored on a secure web platform. This system enhances security, automation, and traceability in document verification processes. Authentication and verification play a crucial role in various industries, including government offices, banking, and corporate environments. Traditional physical stamping systems often suffer from inefficiencies such as unauthorized usage, human errors, and lack of real-time tracking. This paper presents an IoT-powered automated physical stamping system that integrates biometric authentication with a smart stamping mechanism, ensuring a secure and automated verification process. The proposed system uses a fingerprint sensor for user authentication, an ESP32 microcontroller for processing, a servo motor for stamp deployment, and a GPS module for real-time location tracking. Once a user applies their fingerprint, the system verifies the identity and triggers the stamp to extend automatically. Simultaneously, the system logs the timestamp and location of each stamping event on a MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack-based web platform, enabling secure data storage and monitoring. Performance evaluation shows that the system achieves 99.5% accuracy in fingerprint recognition and operates with a latency of under 2 seconds, making it a fast and secure alternative to conventional stamping methods. Additionally, encryption techniques are implemented to prevent tampering and unauthorized access to stored data. The results indicate that this IoT-integrated stamping system improves security, efficiency, and traceability compared to traditional stamping methods. Future enhancements may include AI- powered fraud detection, blockchain-based data storage, and mobile app integration to further improve accessibility and reliability. Keywords: IoT (Internet of Things), MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js), Document Authentication, Cloud-Based Data Management , Real-Time Monitoring.

Abstract:

Although popular in clinical settings, little is known about the utility of all-extremity semirecumbent exercise machines for research. Twenty-one community-dwelling older adults performed two exercise trials (three 4-min stages at increasing workloads) to evaluate the reliability and validity of exercise responses to submaximal all-extremity semirecumbent exercise (BioStep). Exercise responses were measured directly (Cosmed K4b2) and indirectly through software on the BioStep. Test–retest reliability (ICC2,1) was moderate to high across all three stages for directly measured METs (.92, .87, and .88) and HR (.91, .83, and .86). Concurrent criterion validity between the K4b2and BioStep MET values was moderate to very good across the three stages on both Day 1 (r= .86, .71, and .83) and Day 2 (r= .73, .87, and .72). All-extremity semirecumbent submaximal exercise elicited reliable and valid responses in our sample of older adults and thus can be considered a viable exercise mode.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The aim was to evaluate the effect of different doses of two biostimulants on the productivity and canopy structure of Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu grass in the establishment fase. The study was conducted in Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia, Parauapebas, Pará, Brazil. One module of 35 plots of 25m² were established. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with seven treatments and five replicates. The treatments included a control, 0.5, 1, and 2kg/ha of biostimulant A (BIOST.A); and 0.25, 0.5, and 1L/ha of biostimulant B (BIOST.B). Three collections were performed. The data for application of the two biostimulants were analyzed separately, using the Dummy variable method and regression analysis. The application of 2kg/ha BIOST.A resulted in increases of 842kg/ha in the forage mass. The application of BIOST.B on Marandu grass resulted in a linear increase in stem mass. The application of 2kg/ha BIOST.A in the establishment of Marandu grass result in higher growth rates, forage accumulation, and stem proportion in the canopy.

Abstract:

The paper studies the influence of bioproducts on soybean plants under the conditions of Primorsky kray. The research was conducted on released soybean variety Primorskaya 86. The research evaluates the efficacy of bioproducts Biocomposite correct, Rhizoform + Static, and plant biostimulator Biosteam Start. The variant with inoculant Rhizoform + Static (seed treatment) had 20% efficacy against Septoria blight. The highest biological efficacy (50.8%) against downy mildew was observed in the variant with Biocomposite-correct and biostimulator Biosteam Start + foliar treatment with Biocomposite-correct. The studied products had a positive effect on the morphometric characteristics of soybean plants. The maximum gain in plant height was noted in the variant with Rhizoform + Static (48.3 cm) at the flowering stage compared to the control (33.2 cm). Using the products increased the number of nodules relative to the control (56.9 pcs.). The highest number of nodules was observed after seed treatment with Rhizoform + Static (77.6 pcs.). The largest grains formed after seed treatment with Rhizoform + Static (203.3 g) (the TKW was 159.4 g in the control variant). Biological yield varied from 3.3 t/ha (seed treatment with Biocomposite-correct + seed treatment with Biosteam Start + foliar treatment with Biocomposite-correct) to 3.8 t/ha (seed treatment with Rhizoform + Static) among variants compared to 2.5 t/ha in the control. The research results allowed us to conclude that the studied bioproducts and biostimulator were effective in increasing the productivity of soybean plants.

Abstract:

Background: Most of spaces between the denture base and master cast produced by shrinkage of the base material during polymerization and by the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion of the cast and acrylic resin. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the different heating rates and the presence of residual monomer on the accuracy different curing denture base by recording the gap space between the cast and the dentureMaterials and methods: 18 maxillary edentulous stone cast were prepared then divided into three main groups, denture bases were constructed. In Group A, using Biostar plates (free of monomer) in the pressure champers. In group B, using short curing cycle while group C, using long curing cycle . The gap space between the cast and denture base was recorded using traveling microscope measuring device.Results: Biostar curing resin (group A) showed significantly the highest dimensional changes among groups (short and long curing resins). There was no significant difference between group B ( short curing resin) and group C (long curing resin). The lowest gap space values were obtained in long curing resin. All samples showed maximum discrepancy in mid palatal reign and minimum dimensional changes at the crest of ridge. Minimum gap space values were shown in the canine reign for record bases cured with short and long curing cycles, while minimum gap space values were shown in the posterior palatal seal for record base cured with Biostar machine.Conclusion: The dimensional changes of record bases mainly depend on the amount of heat applied during processing rather than the amount of residual monomer. Greater distortion was shown in record base processed by Biostar machine (Free of monomer), while the least distortion in record base processed by long curing cycle. All samples showed maximum discrepancy in the mid palatal region and minimum dimensional changes at the crest of ridge.

Abstract:

Chlamydia trachomatis infections are the most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States. In acute-care settings such as clinics and emergency rooms, a desirable chlamydia screening assay should exhibit good sensitivity and good specificity and should provide test results while the patient is still present. The Biostar Chlamydia OIA (Biostar, Inc., Boulder, Colo.) is an optical immunoassay (OIA) that provides test results in less than 30 min and that uses a test format that allows office-based testing. This assay is performed entirely at room temperature without the need for rotators or other specialized equipment. The goal of this study was to compare the performance of the Biostar Chlamydia OIA for the detection of C. trachomatis with the performance of cell culture, direct fluorescent-antibody (DFA) assay (Syva MicroTrak; Syva Co., Palo Alto, Calif.), and PCR (Roche Amplicor Chlamydia trachomatis; Roche, Branchburg, N.J.) for the detection ofC. trachomatis infections in women attending an urban STD clinic. For calculations of relative test performance (sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values), patient specimens that yielded positive results by two or more of the four assays (cell culture, DFA assay, PCR, and OIA) were classified as “true infections.” By these criteria, 42 of 306 total specimens were classified as positive for C. trachomatis (positive prevalence, 13.7%), 11 (3.6%; 10 by PCR and 1 by DFA assay) were positive by a single assay, and 253 (82.7%) were negative by all four tests. All culture-positive specimens were also positive by at least one other assay. Among the culture-negative specimens, 14 (5%) specimens were positive by two of the three non-culture-based assays used. By using the criterion that positivity by at least two of the tests indicated a true infection, the relative sensitivities were as follows: culture and PCR, 92.9% each; Biostar Chlamydia OIA, 73.8%; and DFA assay, 59.5%.

Abstract:

Microgreens are nutrient-dense foods rich in mineral nutrients and health-benefiting phytochemicals. They are a popular specialty crop with a rapidly increasing industry in the United States (U.S.A.) and worldwide. However, there is a lack of research-based recommendations regarding the feasibility of using hydroponic fiber mats in the production of herbal microgreens and their effects on yield, quality, and nutritional composition. This study assessed shoot development, yield, visual quality, and mineral composition of five herbal microgreen species, including basil, chives, dill, leek, and parsley when grown with four types of hydroponic fiber mats (BioStrate, hemp, jute, and MicroMat) and affected by a single post-emergent fertigation in two experiments. The five microgreens varied in yield, quality, mineral nutrient composition, and their response to substrate type. Chives microgreens produced the highest fresh and dry shoot weights among species when grown with BioStrate, jute, and MicroMat in both experiments. The four substrate types resulted in similar fresh and dry shoot weights in leek and parsley microgreens in both experiments. However, BioStrate and MicroMat increased fresh and dry shoot weights in chives in December compared with hemp or jute mats. Jute resulted in higher fresh and dry shoot weights in basil in both experiments compared with MicroMat. The fiber mats altered mineral nutrient concentrations in tested microgreen species. Hemp mats increased potassium concentrations in basil and dill, while jute mats produced the highest Fe concentrations in the two species and the highest Mn concentration in basil in both experiments. A single post-emergent fertigation increased shoot height and increased concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, iron, zinc, manganese, and boron in one or both experiments.

Abstract:

The fractal fifteen thin section showed that the deposition of the Mishrif Formation is gradual upwards. It was deposited in a period that suffered from several marine fluctuations. It began as a cycle of marine retreat that led to the sedimentation of reefs, followed by a short-term marine advance, and then a widespread marine retreat that led to the emergence of sedimentary facies and various Rudist assemblies. Through scrutiny and analysis of the slides, the presence of five main facies (basin facies, slope facies, shallow open marine, shoal, and rudist biostrom environment) was observed. Theresults showed that the morphological processes re-crystallization, decomposition and dolomitization have the greatest role in improving the porosity, in addition to that the Rudist biostrom and shoal facies environment have good reservoir properties in units MA, MB2 and MB2.The modulation processes affecting the development of the reservoir properties of the different units were identified, with an indication of the severity of their impact and their role in the growth and destruction of porous systems. These processes are micritization, dissolution, dolomitization, cementation, recrystallization, stylolitization, and compaction.

Abstract:

BackgroundDiscontinuation of biological (b)DMARDs may be considered in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in persistent clinical remission [1]. Some earlier studies reported that baseline ultrasound may predict successful tapering or withdrawal of bDMARDs, while others found that ultrasound had little additional value over clinical parameters alone [2-4]. The majority of these studies, however, were limited by small sample size, inadequate remission criteria and variable tapering regimens.ObjectivesTo test the hypothesis whether ultrasound-verified subclinical inflammation might predict a relapse in RA patients in stringent clinical remission who discontinue bDMARDs.MethodsProspective, phase IV clinical trial including RA patients in persistent clinical remission according to the ACR/EULAR criteria treated with a combination of conventional synthetic (cs)DMARD plus bDMARDs. Upon stopping the bDMARD, 9 study visits were conducted within 52 weeks. At each visit, patients underwent clinical examination and ultrasound of 14 joints. The primary hypothesis was that a Power Doppler (PD) score >0 predicted a relapse until week 16 after bDMARD cessation. Relapse was defined as change from remission to moderate/high disease activity according to the simplified disease activity index.ResultsAlthough 110 patients were required by the protocol, inclusion had to be stopped after reaching 38 (34.5%) due to insufficient recruitment. There were 9, 10 and 13 relapses between baseline and weeks 16, 24 and 52, respectively. Relapses till week 16 tended to be more common in patients with PD score >0 at baseline than in those without [9/30 (30.0%) vs. 0/7 (0%), p=0.160)]. Similar observations were made for weeks 24 [9/30 (30.0%) vs. 1/7 (14.3%), p=0.647)] and 52 [12/30 (40.0%) vs. 1/7 (14.3%), p=0.383)]. Kaplan-Meier plot indicates the relapse-free survival in patients with and without PD+ synovitis at baseline (Figure 1).Figure 1.Kaplan-Meier analysis of relapses according to presence or absence of Power Doppler (PD) synovitis at baseline.PD scores were higher at the time of relapse as compared to the preceding visits [mean difference in the PD score 3.2 (±4.5) points, p=0.034]. PD scores were also higher at visits preceding a relapse [mean 5.6 (±3.9), n=13] as compared to the mean PD score across all visits of patients without a relapse [mean 2.0 (±1.5), n=24, p=0.003, respectively]. There were trends towards a higher mean baseline PD score in patients who had a relapse between baseline and week 16 as compared to those who remained in remission (5.2 ± 5.8 vs. 2.3 ± 3.0, p=0.079). Similar observations were made for relapses until weeks 24 and 52. No difference was observed comparing mean residual swollen or tender joint counts at baseline between patients with and without a relapse. There were 9 adverse events. All of them were mild to moderate.ConclusionIn RA patients in strict clinical remission, PD assessment at baseline but not clinical joint count could help identify patients who will relapse after the cessation of a bDMARD. Due to insufficient recruitment and limited power of the present trial, however, no definitive conclusion can be made.References[1]Smolen JS, Landewé RBM, Bijlsma JWJ, et al.

Abstract:

Microgreens are an emerging salad crop with properties similar to those of sprouted seeds and lettuce. This study aimed to determine bacterial pathogen persistence during microgreen cultivation and transfer from soil-free cultivation matrix (SFCM) to mature microgreens. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica ser. Javiana and Listeria monocytogenes were inoculated onto biostrate mats as well as peat SFCM and sampled (day 0). Next, sunflower and pea shoot seeds were planted (day 0) and grown in a controlled environment until the microgreen harvest (day 10). On day 10, SFCM and microgreens were sampled to determine the pathogen levels in the SFCM and the pathogen transfer to microgreens during production. Salmonella Javiana log CFU/g were significantly higher than L. monocytogenes in SFCM on day 10 in both planted and unplanted regions (p < 0.05). Significant differences in pathogen transfer (log CFU/g) were observed between the pea shoot and sunflower microgreens, regardless of the pathogen or SFCM type (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, pathogen transfer to the pea shoot and sunflower microgreens from the biostrate was 1.53 (95% CI: −0.75–3.81) and 5.29 (95% CI: 3.01–7.57) mean log CFU/g, respectively, and transfer from the peat was 0.00 (95% CI: −2.28–2.28) and 2.64 (95% CI: 0.36–4.92) mean log CFU/g, respectively. Results demonstrate that pathogen transfer to microgreens during production is influenced by SFCM and microgreen variety.

Abstract:

The Vanderbilt-Nigeria Biostatistics Training Program (VN-BioStat) aims to establish a research and training platform for biostatisticians doing HIV-related research in Nigeria, including enhancing mid-level biostatistics capacity through annual workshops. This paper describes findings from the inaugural workshop in Kano, Nigeria. Participants were surveyed before and after the workshop to assess their self-perceived familiarity with and confidence in their abilities to use statistical software and apply specific statistical techniques, as well as to gather feedback regarding the conduct of the workshop and future topic areas. Of the 23 participants enrolled in the workshop, 22 (96%) completed both pre- and post-workshop assessments. In both pre-workshop and post-workshop surveys, participants ranked their confidence in statistical skills using Likert scales. Scores were transformed to a 0-100 scale, and averages computed. Participants also shared open-ended feedback about the workshop and suggested future topic areas. Before the training, the average participant reported having either a &quot;beginner&quot; (30% of participants) or &quot;moderate&quot; (43%) level of familiarity with R. Many participants (65%) rated themselves as having &ldquo;moderate&rdquo; or &ldquo;expert&rdquo; familiarity with SPSS. Pre-workshop averages for confidence ranged from 26 to 64, with lowest confidence in &ldquo;expanding continuous covariates in regression models and interpret results&rdquo; and highest confidence in &ldquo;fitting and interpreting results from a linear regression model&rdquo;. Post-workshop averages for confidence were all above 70. The lowest post-workshop score (74) was for &ldquo;fit and interpret results from a semiparametric linear transformation model&rdquo;. The greatest increase in confidence was observed in &quot;expanding continuous covariates in regression models using splines and interpreting results&quot; and the lowest increase was in &quot;fitting and interpreting results from a linear regression model.&quot; Participants offered positive feedback on instructor effectiveness (4.9/5) and overall course quality (4.9/5). While the overall course was rated on a 0-100 scale as &ldquo;moderately difficult&rdquo; (mean &plusmn; SD: 40.5 &plusmn; 17.5), the participants felt the course was highly organized (87.7 &plusmn; 17.8), and the information was moderately easy to learn (81.9 &plusmn; 15.9). Suggestions for future workshops included providing supplementary resources for out-of-classroom learning and releasing codes in advance to enhance participants&rsquo; preparation. Among suggestions for future workshop topics, 80% of respondents listed survival analysis. Lessons learned provide insight into how short-term training opportunities can be leveraged to build biostatistics capacity in similar settings.

Abstract:

Motion is vital for life. Currently, the clinical assessment of motion abnormalities is largely qualitative. We previously developed methods to quantitatively assess motion using visual detection systems (around-body) and stretchable electronic sensors (on-body). Here we compare the efficacy of these methods across predefined motions, hypothesizing that the around-body system detects motion with similar accuracy as on-body sensors. Six human volunteers performed six defined motions covering three excursion lengths, small, medium, and large, which were analyzed via both around-body visual marker detection (MoCa version 1.0) and on-body stretchable electronic sensors (BioStamp version 1.0). Data from each system was compared as to the extent of trackability and comparative efficacy between systems. Both systems successfully detected motions, allowing quantitative analysis. Angular displacement between systems had the highest agreement efficiency for the bicep curl and body lean motion, with 73.24% and 65.35%, respectively. The finger pinch motion had an agreement efficiency of 36.71% and chest abduction/adduction had 45.55%. Shoulder abduction/adduction and shoulder flexion/extension motions had the lowest agreement efficiencies with 24.49% and 26.28%, respectively. MoCa was comparable to BioStamp in terms of angular displacement, though velocity and linear speed output could benefit from additional processing. Our findings demonstrate comparable efficacy for non-contact motion detection to that of on-body sensor detection, and offers insight as to the best system selection for specific clinical uses based on the use-case of the desired motion being analyzed.

Abstract:

O tempo médio de utilização de um canudo plástico (CP) é de apenas 4 min, em contrapartida o tempo médio de decomposição é de 300 anos. Para reduzir os danos ambientais que os CP podem provocar pode-se promover a substituição dos CP por canudos biodegradáveis (biocanudos). O amido de mandioca (AM) é um material promissor para desenvolver filmes biodegradáveis. Um dos resíduos do consumo do coco verde (CV) é a casca, composto por parênquima (pó), fibra e extrativos. Neste trabalho produziram-se biocanudos a base de AM utilizando como reforço proporções diferentes de fibra e pó da casca do CV. Os biocanudos produzidos foram caracterizados quanto a espessura, teor de umidade e solubilidade em água. A viabilidade de uso e resistência a imersão foi realizada em água mineral, suco industrializado, refrigerante tipo cola e solução salivar artificial. A adição de resíduo de CV ocasionou melhoria na integridade e durabilidade dos biocanudos em comparação a amostra controle.

Abstract:

Abstract Aims Activity trackers for clinical trials and remote monitoring are appealing as they provide objective data outside of the clinic setting. Algorithms determine physical activity intensity and count steps. Multiple studies show physical inactivity in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). There are no studies comparing different activity trackers worn on different parts of the body in PAH. We had patients with PAH simultaneously wear two different accelerometers, compared measures between the two devices, and correlated the measures with standard clinical metrics in PAH. Methods and results This was a single-centre, prospective observational study. Daily physical activity and daily total steps were measured using Actigraph GT9X Link and MC10 Biostamp nPoint for 5–10 days. Actigraph was worn on the non-dominant hand and the MC10 Biostamp nPoint was worn on the chest and leg with disposable adhesives. Twenty-two participants wore both accelerometers &gt;12 h/day for an average 7.8 days. The average activity time measured by Actigraph was significantly higher than that measured by MC10 (251 ± 25 min vs. 113 ± 18 min, P = 0.0001). Actigraph’s algorithm reported more time in light activity than moderate (190 ± 62 min vs. 60 ± 56 min, P = 0.0001). REVEAL 2.0 scores correlated highly with activity time measured using either device. Invasively measured haemodynamics within 7 days did not correlate with activity time or daily steps. Conclusion Different activity trackers yield discordant results in PAH patients. Further studies are needed in determining the best device, optimal wear time, and different thresholds for activities in chronic diseases.

Abstract:

Objectives: Considering that the comorbid situations during the management of Spondyloarthritis (SpA) have been underlined in several recommendations, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the comorbid conditions of Turkish patients with SpA. Patients and methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 1,242 SpA patients (844 males, 398 females; mean age: 43.9±11.0 years; range, 19 to 81 years) diagnosed according to the modified New York criteria for ankylosing spondylitis or the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) criteria. The patient data were collected from the Biologic and targeted Synthetic antirheumatic drugs Registry (BioStar) between February 1, 2019, and December 29, 2020. Clinical and demographic data, including, age, sex, disease duration, body mass index (BMI), pain, patient’s global assessment, physician’s global assessment, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, and Maastricht Enthesitis Score, were recorded. Comorbid conditions were recorded by filling out a questionnaire according to the clinical history or medical records. Charlson Comorbidity Index and Rheumatic Disease Comorbidity Index scores were calculated from the gathered comorbidity information. Results: Nine hundred thirteen patients had radiographic axial SpA, 153 had nonradiographic axial SpA, and 176 had peripheral SpA. The most common comorbidities were hypertension (HT) (n=167, 13.4%), diabetes mellitus (DM) (n=83, 6.7%), thyroid disorders (n=64, 5.6%), and depression (n=61, 4.9%). The comorbidities and the calculated comorbidity indices were significantly higher in females, in those with a BMI >25 kg/m2 , and those over 60 years of age. No relationship was found between smoking and alcohol use and comorbidities. A significantly higher prevalence of HT and DM in peripheral SpA patients and a lower prevalence of thyroid disorders in radiographic axial SpA patients were observed. Conclusion: The most commonly reported comorbidities were HT, DM, thyroid disorders, and depression in SpA patients according to the BioStar database. The frequency of comorbidities and composite comorbidity scores were higher among females, older (>60 years) patients, and overweight (BMI >25 kg/m2 ) patients.
