Abstract:

This study examined the use and misuse of home smoke detectors in three cities in the United States: Dayton, Ohio, Union City, New Jersey, and San Francisco, California. A sample of 300 households, 100 in each city, were reached in telephone interviews which were concluded with a request to test the smoke detector. For the sample, 86% had a smoke detector, and 73% of those smoke detectors were working. Neither the presence of children or whether the smoke detector was preinstalled or purchased and installed by the homeowner were associated with the likelihood of owning a smoke detector or its operating condition. However, ownership varied between cities; 98% of respondents owned detectors in Dayton, OH compared to 72% in San Francisco, CA. Belief that smoke detectors were in good operating condition was strongly correlated with their actual state. Whether the detector was maintained in-house and the interaction between city and whether it was purchased by the resident were also significantly related to whether a smoke detector was working.

Abstract:

Food deserts have emerged in underserved urban and rural areas throughout the United States. Corner markets have filled the food voids, but generally without offering residents access to healthy food. The economics for doing so are prohibitive. The purpose of the study is to investigate an opportunity for reducing corner store energy costs in order to make possible retail of fresh produce and meat. Given the typical dominance of refrigeration to the energy cost in such stores, an integrated solar dehumidification system with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is considered. A typical corner store baseline reliant upon conventional refrigeration and HVAC equipment is defined to serve as a basis for comparison. MATLAB Simulink dynamic models are developed for the posed system and baseline model. The results show energy reduction in the refrigerated cabinets of maximally 28%, 27%, and 20%, respectively, in Dayton, OH, Phoenix, AZ, and Pine Bluff, AR. The respective HVAC energy savings are respectively 28%, 56%, and 4%. Collectively these correspond to total annual energy savings of 43%, 51%, and 53%, translating to annual energy cost savings of greater than $12K in all locations.

Abstract:

Food deserts, areas in which it is difficult to obtain affordable, nutritious food, are especially problematic in low-income neighbourhoods. One model for addressing food hardship and unemployment issues within low-income food deserts is a cooperative grocery store. Through the cooperative model, the grocery store can serve as a cornerstone to address socio-economic marginalisation of low-income neighbourhoods and improve the health and well-being of its residents. It is important for communities and policymakers to be able to assess the effectiveness of these types of endeavours beyond traditional economic factors such as profitability. This article uses a systems engineering approach to develop a framework for measuring the holistic impact of a cooperative grocery store on community health and well-being. This framework encompasses values that characterise the relationship between food retail, economic viability and social equality. We develop a dashboard to display the key metrics for measuring the economic, social and environmental indicators that reflect a grocery store’s social impact. We demonstrate the usefulness of the framework through a case study of a full-service cooperative grocery store that is planned within the city of Dayton, OH.

Abstract:

Diabetes and its associated chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health burden and there is an urgent need for new sensitive biomarkers to detect and monitor the progression of CKD. Albuminuria is still the gold standard for the evaluation of kidney function. However, its sensitivity and reliability have recently been questioned. ACE2 is highly expressed in renal tubules and has been shown to be shed in the urine of diabetic patients with CKD. The aim of the study was to investigate whether urinary ACE2 is increased in diabetic patients with CKD before the onset of microalbuminuria. Participants were recruited from Dayton VA Medical Center (Dayton, OH, USA). Baseline urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were determined three months before initiation of the study in non-diabetic patients (UACR <30 mg/g, eGFR=97.40±16 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ), and in diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria (UACR <30 mg/g, eGFR=83.08±17 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ), microalbuminuria (UACR = 30-300 mg/g, eGFR=47.13±23 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ), and macroalbuminuria (UACR >300 mg/g, eGFR=39.68±20 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ). Using fluorogenic and mass spectrometry-based enzyme assays, we measured urinary and plasma ACE2 activity in patients. Urinary ACE2 activity was significantly increased in diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria (0.58±0.2 nmol/hr/mg creatinine), microalbuminuria (1.19 ±0.5 nmol/hr/mg creatinine), and macroalbuminuria (2.265±0.4 nmol/hr/mg creatinine) compared with non-diabetic controls (0.06 ± 0.02 nmols/hr/mg creatinine) (p<0.0001). These results were confirmed by detecting the ACE2 product Ang-(1-7) ( m/z 899) in incubations of urine samples with the natural substrate Ang II ( m/z 1046) using mass spectrometry-based enzyme assays. In addition, urinary ACE2 expression was significantly increased in diabetic patients as determined by western blot analysis (p<0.05). Plasma ACE2 activity was not detectable in control and diabetic patients. In conclusion, urinary ACE2 is increased in diabetic patients with CKD which suggests that urinary ACE2 could be used as an early, noninvasive biomarker for diabetic nephropathy before the onset of microalbuminuria.

Abstract:

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a group of adaptive polymers that can recover the permanent shape from a temporary shape by external stimuli on demand. Among a variety of external stimuli for polymer actuation, temperature is the most extensively used. In SMP applications, one of the major design considerations is the time necessary to recover the shape without external deformation constraints, or free recovery, and the amount of the recoverable strain. This paper investigates the amount of the recoverable strain and the recovery rate of an epoxy-based SMP (Veriflex® E, VFE1-62 (CRG, Dayton, OH)) under different thermal conditions. In particular, the free recovery behaviors of the SMPs under two experimental protocols, isothermal and shape memory (SM) cycle, are studied. It is found that free recovery in isothermal experiments is much faster than that in a SM cycle at the same recovering temperature and the material is fully recoverable at the temperature above differential scanning calorimetry Tg. Furthermore, for the recovery in SM cycle experiments, reshaping the sample at a low temperature and recovering from the deformation at a high temperature yield the fastest recovery rate, while reshaping at a high temperature and recovering at a low temperature cannot recover the original shape within this work’s experimental time frame. The possible mechanism for these observations is discussed.

Abstract:

Background: An accurate test to identify atrial fibrillation in ischemic stroke populations would be of significant clinical utility. Using the Biomarkers of Acute Stroke Etiology (BASE) trial (NCT02014896) dataset, our goal was to utilize a database of genes appearing in literature determine if gene expression accurately differentiate patients with atrial fibrillation from those with large artery stroke. Methods: BASE enrolled suspected stroke patients presenting to 20 hospitals within 24 hrs of symptom onset. Final gold standard diagnosis and stroke etiology were determined by an adjudication committee using all hospital data but blinded to RNA test results. Whole blood, obtained in PAXgene tubes, was frozen at -20C within 72 hrs and analyzed at a core lab (Ischemia Care, LLC, Dayton, OH) using Affymetrix HTA micro arrays. Genes were filtered to those appearing in stroke literature resulting in 543 potential signature genes. A two-way random forest classifier was built through cross validation of the training data resulting in a 3 gene diagnostic signature with robust performance conserved across literature consisting of ELL2, GLIPR1, MAPKAPK3 genes. Results: Overall, 99 patients were enrolled with NIHSS>5, 68 (69%) with atrial fibrillation cause of stroke and 31 (31%) with large artery stroke; (48%) were male, and median (IQR) age was 74.4 (66.1,81.7). Median (IQR) time from symptoms to blood collection was 420 (322, 472) minutes. Coexistent pathology at presentation included high blood pressure 84 (85%), hyperlipidemia 45 (45%), diabetes 31 (31%), and coronary artery disease 38 (38%). Three genes were able to differentiate atrial fibrillation from large vessel stroke; C-statistic 0.86 (0.52-1.0, 95% CI), sensitivity 0.93 (0.56-1.0, 95% CI) and specificity of 0.58 (0.35-0.81, 95% CI ). Conclusion: RNA expression of ELL2, GLIPR1, MAPKAPK3 genes differentiates atrial fibrillation stroke patients from those with large artery stroke, and may have therapeutic and outcome implications.

Background: Identifying atrial fibrillation in embolic stroke of ischemic stroke populations would be of significant clinical utility. Using the Biomarkers of Acute Stroke Etiology (BASE) trial (NCT02014896) dataset, our goal was to determine if blood gene expression signatures accurately differentiated patients with atrial fibrillation from large artery stroke patients. Methods: The BASE trial enrolled suspected stroke patients presenting to 20 hospitals within 24 hrs of symptom onset. Final gold standard diagnosis and stroke etiology were determined by an adjudication committee using all hospital data but blinded to RNA test results. Whole blood, obtained in PAXgene tubes, was frozen at -20C within 72 hrs and analyzed at a core lab (Ischemia Care, LLC, Dayton, OH) using Affymetrix HTA micro arrays. Approximately 38,000 genes on the HTA microarray were filtered to eliminate genes with low expression or high CV (> 10%) when run on replicate samples leaving 9,513 potential signature genes. A two-way random forest classifier was built through cross validation of the training data resulting in a 23 gene diagnostic signature. Results: There were 58 patients enrolled between 18 and 24 hours of symptom onset, with NIHSS>5, 27 (47%) with atrial fibrillation cause of stroke and 31 (53%) with large artery stroke; 64% were male, and median (IQR) age was 69.7 (62.8, 81.0). Median (IQR) time from symptoms to sample collection was 1323.5 (1208.8, 1381.3) minutes. Coexistent pathology at presentation was high blood pressure 49 (84%), hyperlipidemia 28 (48%), diabetes 9 (16%), and coronary artery disease 15 (26%). The panel was able to distinguish atrial fibrillation from large vessel stroke with a C-statistic 0.92 (0.55-1.0, 95% CI), sensitivity 0.90 (0.51-1.0, 95% CI) and specificity of 0.85. Conclusion: RNA expression differentiates strokes due to atrial fibrillation from large artery stroke and may have therapeutic and outcome implications in ischemic stroke populations.

Abstract:

Background: An accurate test to differentiate large artery stroke (LAS) patients from those with cardioembolic stroke (CES) would be of significant clinical utility. Using the Biomarkers of Acute Stroke Etiology (BASE) trial (NCT02014896) dataset, our purpose was to utilize blood gene expression signatures for accurately differentiating LAS from CES acute stroke etiologies. Methods: The BASE trial enrolled suspected stroke patients presenting to 20 hospitals within 24 hrs of symptom onset. Final gold standard diagnosis and stroke etiology were determined by an adjudication committee using all hospital data but blinded to RNA test results. Whole blood, obtained in PAX tubes, was frozen at -20C within 72 hrs and analyzed at a core lab (Ischemia Care, Dayton, OH) using Affymetrix HTA microarrays. Genes on the HTA microarray were filtered to eliminate genes with low expression or high CV (> 10%) when run on replicate samples leaving 9,513 potential signature genes. A two-way random forest classifier was built through cross validation of the training data resulting in a 45 gene diagnostic signature. Results: This is a planned interim cohort study of the 1700 patients enrolled in the BASE trial that does not include lacunar strokes, TIA, or stroke mimics. Overall, 222 patients were enrolled with NIHSS>5, 70 (32%) with LAS and 152 (68%) with CES; 59% were male, and median (IQR) age was 70.7 yrs (62.0, 80.2). Median (IQR) time from symptom onset to blood collection was 1200 (448, 1568) minutes. Coexistent pathology at presentation included atrial fibrillation 90 (48%), hypertension 153 (82%), hyperlipidemia 87 (47%), diabetes 60 (32%), and coronary artery disease 70 (37%). Patients were randomly divided into training (148), early symptom onset (<18hrs) validation (39) and a late symptom onset (>18 hrs) validation (35). The diagnostic gene signature results in the early validation cohort distinguished LAS from CES; C-statistic 0.78 (0.50-1.0, 95% CI), sensitivity 0.90 (0.55-1.0, 95% CI) and specificity of 0.70 (0.43-1.0, 95% CI). Conclusion: Early RNA expression differentiates large artery stroke patients from those with cardioembolic stroke, and may have therapeutic and secondary prevention implications.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Introduction Safe and effective vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus 2 are essential tools in the fight against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, hesitancy to vaccination is a major barrier to achieving herd immunity, particularly among a population working on a military base. To better understand the perceptions and concerns of these individuals, a voluntary survey was conducted. Materials and Methods An interactive, online survey was constructed and disseminated to individuals associated with Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Dayton, OH. Survey participation was voluntary with responses collected over the initial weeks in which WPAFB began to distribute COVID-19 vaccines in a series of phases. Although initially designed to collect demographic data and identify reasons for potential vaccine hesitancy among WPAFB 88th Medical Group personnel, the study population was expanded to include all WPAFB-affiliated personnel at the direction of base leadership. The chi-squared test was used to examine the relationships between categorical variables, while multivariable logistic regression was used to assess age and occupation as independent risk factors for vaccine hesitancy. Results A total of 816 individuals completed the survey, of whom 22.7% (n = 185) self-identified as vaccine hesitant (VH). The VH group had a lower mean age than the not vaccine hesitant (NVH) group (39.3 ± 14.2 vs. 45.9 ± 13.4, P < .001). Respondents whose occupation was medical were more likely to be VH than their non-medical colleagues (49% vs. 18%, P < .001). The VH group was more concerned about short-term side effects (43% vs. 26%, P < .001), long-term side effects (82% vs. 50%, P < 0.001), vaccine effectiveness (23% vs. 5%, P < .001), vaccine making them feel sick (22% vs. 13%, P = .002), being infected with COVID-19 from the vaccine (10% vs. 5%, P = 0.008), and worry about misinformation/political agenda (43% vs. 31%, P = 0.003). Younger respondents and medical personnel were more likely to be concerned about long-term side effects and vaccine effectiveness, and the younger group was also more likely to be concerned about pregnancy/breastfeeding issues and worry about misinformation/political agenda. Age (younger vs. older, odds ratio 2.15) and occupation (medical vs. non-medical, odds ratio 3.74) were independent risk factors for vaccine hesitancy. The NVH group was more likely to recommend the COVID-19 vaccine to a friend or family member than the VH group (93% vs. 20%, P < .001) as were the older age group (79% vs. 67%, P = .001) and non-medical personnel (81% vs. 52%, P < .001). Conclusions Younger age and medical occupation were independent risk factors for vaccine hesitancy and these individuals were less likely to recommend vaccination to a friend or family member. We also identified several key concerns related to vaccination hesitancy, in particular those related to short- and long-term side effects, and the spread of misinformation. Among military personnel, these findings carry important implications that may negatively impact mission readiness, a matter that merits further investigation. Our COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy findings can be used to guide targeted interventions at future vaccination campaigns in a military population.
