Abstract:
The focus of this paper was to determine research support benchmarks from higher education institutions (HEIs) in South Africa for application in the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU). These benchmarks were sought from networked international HEIs and leading research HEIs in the country. Other benchmarks were sourced from cost-effective models of deployment from other service departments within SMU. The study involved nine HEIs and SMU human resources (HR) department for benchmarking. The study found that the statistics departments were used in these HEIs for major research support. These statistics departments operated from statistics support centres, were supported holistically by their institutions, and were allowed qualified autonomy in their functions. The SMU HR department was assigning individual HR experts to various academic departments for full-time support. The paper combines the models of statistics centres and of assigning HR experts to departments for a new one in SMU. It proposes establishment of a statistical services centre in SMU, in the Department of Statistics and Operations Research (SOR). The centre could be used for statistical training and for fundraising as well. However, the core activities of the centre should be to support research on SMU campus. The centre should operate by dedicating statistics experts to various departments. That model also requires an adequate academic staffing of SOR, as well as initial funding for the entire plans and initial operations of the centre

Abstract:
This article illustrates how the logic model and a course on program evaluation at a large health sciences centre were instrumental in preparing staff to evaluate their own programs. Staff and physicians need basic skills in program evaluation. The logic model is a simple yet useful tool in helping to identify key measurables. A short course to teach the theory and practice of logic models, evaluation design, choice and design of measures, and data analysis has been shown to be a practical solution in preparing staff and physicians to evaluate their own programs.

Abstract:
Toxic epidermal necrolysis spectrum (TENS) is a rare yet severe adverse drug reaction associated with a high mortality rate. Beyond supportive care, there is still no established therapy for TENS, although recent meta-analyses and UK guideline recommendations have attempted to offer a review of relevant literature on this difficult topic. As most directed treatments lack clear consensual evidence, care centres often resort to establishing their own strategies. As Canada’s largest adult burn centre and the provincial reference centre for most burn patients in Ontario, our team at the Ross Tilley Burn Centre, in collaboration with the Department of Dermatology at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Canada, has managed over 60 confirmed cases of TENS over the past 2 decades. We would like to share our management, experience, and present our treatment protocol that we recently established by a collaborative multidisciplinary team approach to help guide treatment of these complex patients not only in Canada but worldwide.

Abstract:
Public health planning for influenza is based on morbidity and mortality estimates derived from statistical models. Lower than anticipated 2009 H1N1 pandemic death estimates have raised questions about the method. Examining the statistical method is important for future policy and program development. We compared the main methods of estimating influenza burden through a systematic literature review and by comparing statistical estimates of influenza-attributable burden at the Ottawa Hospital (TOH) to clinical estimates validated through chart review. We identified heterogeneity in methods used to estimate influenza-attributable mortality in the literature which resulted in within-season estimate variation by study. We found statistical estimates of influenza burden at TOH to be 4-8 times greater than clinically validated data. We also found no significant association between the outcomes examined and epidemic periods at TOH. The findings of this study suggest discordance between model estimates by model approach and between model estimates and validated findings. Examining reasons for these discordances should be pursued.

Full text
Abstract:
This study contributes to our understanding of the reproduction and transformation of organisational identity as it takes place in the context of individual and collective agency and relations of power within the organisation. Organisational identity is socially constructed and continuously reproduced and transformed discursively and non-discursively (Sveningsson and Alvesson, 2003; Czarniawska-Joerges, 2004; Corley et al, 2006) and is rarely as unitary as it appears (Humphreys and Brown, 2002; Foreman and Whetten, 2002). This study asks how power relations influence the construction of organisational identity in the context of multiple identity discourses and how this construction in turn reproduces and transforms power relations in an organisation. I use a reflexive methodology to analyse the empirical data collected during a longitudinal study in which 87 organisational members from all levels of the organisation were interviewed, organisational practices were observed and 83 organisational documents were analysed. This reflexive methodology employs qualitative and inductive methods to obtain and analyse rich situated empirical material. The longitudinal design of the study enables detailed examination of the dynamic processes underlying organisational identity construction over time. The study contributes to our understanding of the construction of organisational identity as an effect of power relations and a medium through which power relations are themselves transformed and reproduced. Firstly, the study contributes to our understanding how multiple organisational identities emerge as a single dominant identity discourse. It identifies processes of strategic ambiguity and inter-discursive recontextualisation strategies such as colonisation and translation which provide the creative space for constructing organisational identity. Secondly, it adds to current theorisation of multiple organisational identity dynamics by analysing these in the context of power relations. Using this analytical lens, organisational identity is seen as the medium through which power relations are reproduced and transformed as well as an outcome of the exercise of power. “Who we are” as an organisation determines which professional and other social groups are considered to be enunciate the identity discourses which 'fit' best and these groups in turn exercise power episodically to reproduce this dominant identity discourse. The final contribution adds to our understanding of how other social identities such as professional identities interact with each other in a healthcare context and with a desired future identity to transform and reproduce power relations between different groups within a complex professionally dominated organisation.

Abstract:
Surgical site infection surveillance (enumeration, and reporting of cases) reduces infection incidence. Data-driven "trigger" mechanisms focus surveillance on high-probability cases, yet often lack specificity. We aimed to develop trigger mechanisms with greater specificity for surveillance of cardiac surgical site infection. We developed these mechanisms in a two part study: systematic review to identify potential trigger factors; and nested case-control study to derive trigger mechanisms from a novel information structure called a data warehouse. Among 158 studies, we identified 570 trigger factors, which we grouped into themes, using the top 33 in the case-control study Using 203 cases and 516 controls, we derived two models for surveillance trigger mechanisms. These models provided true positive rates of 0.941 and 0.931 respectively (non-inferior to the current trigger mechanism), with false positive rates of 0.1085 each (superior to the current trigger mechanism). These trigger mechanisms may standardize and automate surgical site infection surveillance triggering.

Abstract:
Purpose. To evaluate the process of implementing decision support by call centre nurses for callers facing values-sensitive health decisions. Design. Exploratory case study guided by the Ottawa Model of Research Use with an embedded randomized controlled trial. Setting. A Canadian province-wide call centre. Intervention. Online autotutorial, skill-building workshop, decision support protocol, and performance feedback using simulated callers. Methods. (1) Barriers assessment using a survey, interviews, focus groups, and quality audit of baseline simulated calls. (2) Comparison of intervention and control groups using a knowledge test, quality audit of simulated calls, and acceptability surveys. (3) Assessment of the uptake and sustainability of decision support using a survey, interviews, and focus groups. Results. (1) Of 108 nurses, 57 responded to the barriers survey. Nurses had positive attitudes toward patient participation in decision making and their role in supporting callers. Main barriers included inadequate nurses' knowledge, skills, and confidence in providing decision support; lack of process to guide decision support calls; patient decision aids not formatted for telephone use; low public awareness; pressure to minimize call length, and unclear program direction. (2) Compared to controls (n=20), nurses (n=19) who participated in the intervention had improved knowledge (M= 74% vs. 60%, p=0.007) and provided a higher quality of decision support particularly in the domains of discussing values and support (M= 81.3% vs. 45.8%,p<0.0001) without significantly increasing call duration (M= 18.5 vs. 16.7 min, p=0.73). Nurses were satisfied with the multifaceted intervention. Twelve control group nurses opted to complete the training after the trial concluded. (3) Within 3 months post-intervention, 25 of the 31 nurses (n=19+12) completed the decision support uptake survey. Of these, 44% had used the protocol with real callers and 88% intended to use it. Nurses spoke positively about their experiences with real callers. Suggestions to improve sustainability included integrating the protocol in the call centre database, reformatting the patient decision aids, clarifying the program direction, establishing call length guidelines tailored to call type, implementing decision support training for all staff, and publicizing the new decision support services. Conclusions. The multifaceted intervention and process evaluation measures may provide a feasible approach to expanding call centre services to include values-sensitive decision support. However, to ensure sustainability, barriers within the practice environment need to be addressed and patient outcomes evaluated.

Full text
Abstract:
Breast cancer is the commonest cancer affecting Canadian women. Recent decades have seen a trend of decreasing breast cancer mortality. This has been attributed to several causes, including greater use of screening mammography and increased efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy. We studied the effect of these two factors on the overall survival of breast cancer patients at the Ottawa Hospital Regional Cancer Centre. Data were collected from 2985 charts from the years 1985, 1988, 1992, 1995, 1998, and 2001. Adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with a decreased hazard of death from any cause (HR=0.783 p=0.0208). A decrease in mean tumour size seen over the time period of the study is potentially attributable to mammography screening. Decreased tumour size was associated with a decreased hazard for death (HR 0.986 p<0.0001). No difference in overall survival between earlier and later cohorts could be demonstrated, perhaps due to shorter follow up in later cohorts.

Thesis, McGill University, 2001. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=32753.

Full text
Abstract:
Idiopathic central precocious puberty may compromise adult height. Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa) suppress puberty and increase final height prediction, but their influence on final height is unclear, especially in girls with pubertal onset just below eight years of age, the traditional limit of normal.
At seven children's hospitals, we identified 53 treated and 24 untreated patients (24 and 7 to final height, respectively) whose pubertal onset was between ages 5--8 years. At baseline, bone age advancement and predicted adult height were similar in the two groups. In both groups, the predicted adult height slightly overestimated the final height. What role, if any, GnRHa therapy played in preventing a shorter adult height is uncertain in these borderline cases. The substantial intra- and inter-observer variability in bone age readings compromised the utility of the height prediction method.
The methodological challenges inherent to this study are identified and discussed.

Abstract:
Background: Endometriosis is a common condition in women of reproductive age, causing pelvic pain and subfertility, but little is known about its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work productivity worldwide. Methods: In 10 countries across five continents, this study recruited 1,418 women, aged 18-45, without a previous surgical diagnosis of endometriosis, scheduled to undergo a laparoscopy to investigate symptoms suggestive of endometriosis or to be sterilised. Pre-operatively, women completed a standardised questionnaire assessing symptoms, diagnostic delay, HRQoL and work productivity using validated instruments. Surgeons completed a standardised questionnaire incorporating findings at laparoscopy including endometriosis stage according to revised American Fertility Society criteria. Results: There was a mean delay of 9.2 years (SD 8.8), principally in primary care, between the onset of symptoms and diagnostic laparoscopy. This diagnostic delay was longer in centres where healthcare was predominantly state-funded (12.8 vs. 7.6 years; p<0.001). In multivariate analyses, the delay was positively associated with the number of pelvic symptoms (chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia and heavy periods; p<0.001) and a higher body mass index (p<0.001). Physical HRQoL was significantly reduced in affected women compared to those with similar symptoms and no endometriosis (p=0.012). Not being in paid employment, severe pelvic pain and moderate-severe disease were associated with reduced physical HRQoL (all p<0.001). Each affected woman lost on average 10.0 hours (SD 10.6) of work weekly, due mainly to reduced effectiveness while working. The annual indirect cost of endometriosis associated with work productivity loss ranged from US$399 per woman in Ibadan (Nigeria) to US$18,586 per woman in Boston (USA). Conclusions: Endometriosis significantly impairs HRQoL and work productivity across countries and ethnicities, yet women continue to experience diagnostic delays in primary care. A higher index of suspicion is needed to expedite specialist assessment of symptomatic women. Future research should seek to clarify pain mechanisms in relation to endometriosis severity.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Stunting is one of the global nutrition problems, which is recorded in the six global nutrition targets in 2025. Stunting is defined as a condition when a child’s body length or height based on age and sex is below -2 SD of the median standard of child growth by World Health Organization. The prevalence of stunting in newborns in the world is 3.8%. The causes of stunting are multifactorally occurring from the age of conception to the age of two. Factors that influence stunting of newborns during the prenatal period are maternal height, maternal weight gain, anemia, and infection during pregnancy. Anemia occurs in 37% of pregnant women. Maternal anemia causes disruption in fetal growth which increases the risk of stunting at birth. This study aimed to examine the Association between maternal anemia with stunting incidence among newborns in Surakarta, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Sibela Community Health Center, Surakarta, Central Java. Total of 184 third trimester pregnant women and 184 newborns were enrolled in this study. The dependent variable was stunting among newborns. The independent variable was anemia in pregnant women. The data were taken from medical records in the period February-March 2020. The data were analyzed using Chi-square. Results: The prevalence of stunting among newborns was 8.2%. Anemia among pregnant women were 31.0%. Pregnant women who had anemia increase the incidence of stunting among newborns (OR = 5,19; 95% CI = 1.69 to 15.99; p = 0.002). Conclusion: There is a relationship between anemia among pregnant women and the incidence of stunting among newborns. Keywords: anemia, pregnancy, stunting, newborn Correspondence: Safitri Tia Tampy.

Abstract:
Since February 2021, countless lives have been lost in India, which has compounded the social and economic devastation caused by the second wave of COVID-19. The sharp surge in cases across the country overwhelmed the health infrastructure, with people left scrambling for hospital beds, critical drugs, and oxygen. As of May 2021, infections began to come down in urban areas. However, the effects of the second wave continued to be felt in rural areas. This is the worst humanitarian and public health crisis the country has witnessed since independence; while the continued spread of COVID-19 variants will have regional and global implications. With a slow vaccine rollout and overwhelmed health infrastructure, there is a critical need to examine India's response and recommend measures to further arrest the current spread of infection and to prevent and prepare against future waves. This brief is a rapid social science review and analysis of the second wave of COVID-19 in India. It draws on emerging reports, literature, and regional social science expertise to examine reasons for the second wave, explain its impact, and highlight the systemic issues that hindered the response. This brief puts forth vital considerations for local and national government, civil society, and humanitarian actors at global and national levels, with implications for future waves of COVID-19 in low- and middle-income countries. This review is part of the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP) series on the COVID-19 response in India. It was developed for SSHAP by Mihir R. Bhatt (AIDMI), Shilpi Srivastava (IDS), Megan Schmidt-Sane (IDS), and Lyla Mehta (IDS) with input and reviews from Deepak Sanan (Former Civil Servant; Senior Visiting Fellow, Centre for Policy Research), Subir Sinha (SOAS), Murad Banaji (Middlesex University London), Delhi Rose Angom (Oxfam India), Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica) and Santiago Ripoll (IDS).

Full text
Abstract:
Well-being is a common human aspiration. Governments and states, too, seek to promote and ensure the well-being of their citizens; some even argue that this should be their overarching goal. But it is not enough for a country to flourish, and for its citizens to enjoy well-being, if the situation cannot be maintained over the long term. Well-being must be sustainable. The state needs criteria for assessing the well-being of its citizens, so that it can work to raise the well-being level. Joining many other governments around the world, the Israeli government adopted a comprehensive set of indices for measuring well-being in 2015. Since 2016, the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics has been publishing the assessment results on an annual basis. Having determined that the monitoring of well-being in Israel should employ complementary indices relating to its sustainability, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Bank of Israel, the Central Bureau of Statistics, and Yad Hanadiv asked the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities to establish an expert committee to draft recommendations on this issue. The Academy's assistance was sought in recognition of its statutory authority "to advise the government on activities relating to research and scientific planning of national significance." The Committee was appointed by the President of the Academy, Professor Nili Cohen, in March 2017; its members are social scientists spanning a variety of disciplines. This report presents the Committee's conclusions. Israel's ability to ensure the well-being of its citizens depends on the resources or capital stocks available to it, in particular its economic, natural, human, social, and cultural resources. At the heart of this report are a mapping of these resources, and recommendations for how to measure them.

Abstract:
In Colombia, as well as in the rest of the world, the Covid-19 pandemic has seriously damaged the health and well-being of the people. In order to limit the damage, local and national authorities have had to order large sectors of the population to be confined at their homes for long periods of time. An inevitable consequence of isolation has been the collapse of economic activity, expenditure, and employment, a phenomenon that has hit many countries of the world affected by the disease. It is an unprecedented crisis in modern times, not so much for its intensity (which is undoubtedly immense), but because its origin is not economic. That is what makes it so unpredictable and difficult to manage. Naturally, its economic consequences are enormous. Governments and central banks from all over the world are struggling to mitigate them, but the final solution is not in the hands of the economic authorities. Only science can provide a way out. In the meantime, the economic indicators in Colombia and in the rest of the world cause concern. The output falls, the massive loss of jobs, and the closure of businesses of all sizes have become daily news. Added to this, there is the deterioration in global financial conditions and the increase in the risk indicators. Financial volatility has increased and stock indexes have fallen. In the face of the lower global demand, export prices of raw materials have fallen, affecting the terms of trade for producing countries. Workers’ remittances have declined due to the increase of unemployment in developed countries. This crisis has also generated a strong reduction of global trade of goods and services, and effects on the global value chains. Central banks around the world have reacted decisively and quickly with strong liquidity injections and significant cuts to their interest rates. By mid-July, such determined response had succeeded to revert much of the initial deterioration in global financial conditions. The stock exchanges stopped their fall, and showed significant recovery in several countries. Risk premia, which at the beginning of the crisis took an unusual leap, recorded substantial corrections. Something similar happened with the volatility indexes of global financial markets, which exhibited significant improvement. Flexibilization of confinement measures in some economies, broad global liquidity, and fiscal policy measures have also contributed to improve global external financial conditions, albeit with indicators that still do not return to their pre-Covid levels.

Abstract:
Objectives. To assess benefits and harms of nonpharmacological and pharmacological interventions for breathlessness in adults with advanced cancer. Data sources. We searched PubMed®, Embase®, CINAHL®, ISI Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials through early May 2020. Review methods. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies with a comparison group evaluating benefits and/or harms, and cohort studies reporting harms. Two reviewers independently screened search results, serially abstracted data, assessed risk of bias, and graded strength of evidence (SOE) for key outcomes: breathlessness, anxiety, health-related quality of life, and exercise capacity. We performed meta-analyses when possible and calculated standardized mean differences (SMDs). Results. We included 48 RCTs and 2 retrospective cohort studies (4,029 patients). The most commonly reported cancer types were lung cancer and mesothelioma. The baseline level of breathlessness varied in severity. Several nonpharmacological interventions were effective for breathlessness, including fans (SMD -2.09 [95% confidence interval (CI) -3.81 to -0.37]) (SOE: moderate), bilevel ventilation (estimated slope difference -0.58 [95% CI -0.92 to -0.23]), acupressure/reflexology, and multicomponent nonpharmacological interventions (behavioral/psychoeducational combined with activity/rehabilitation and integrative medicine). For pharmacological interventions, opioids were not more effective than placebo (SOE: moderate) for improving breathlessness (SMD -0.14 [95% CI -0.47 to 0.18]) or exercise capacity (SOE: moderate); most studies were of exertional breathlessness. Different doses or routes of administration of opioids did not differ in effectiveness for breathlessness (SOE: low). Anxiolytics were not more effective than placebo for breathlessness (SOE: low). Evidence for other pharmacological interventions was limited. Opioids, bilevel ventilation, and activity/rehabilitation interventions had some harms compared to usual care. Conclusions. Some nonpharmacological interventions, including fans, acupressure/reflexology, multicomponent interventions, and bilevel ventilation, were effective for breathlessness in advanced cancer. Evidence did not support opioids or other pharmacological interventions within the limits of the identified studies. More research is needed on when the benefits of opioids may exceed harms for broader, longer term outcomes related to breathlessness in this population.

HEFNER, Robert. IHSAN ETHICS AND POLITICAL REVITALIZATION Appreciating Muqtedar Khan’s Islam and Good Governance. IIIT, October 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.47816/01.001.20.

Full text
Abstract:
Ours is an age of pervasive political turbulence, and the scale of the challenge requires new thinking on politics as well as public ethics for our world. In Western countries, the specter of Islamophobia, alt-right populism, along with racialized violence has shaken public confidence in long-secure assumptions rooted in democracy, diversity, and citizenship. The tragic denouement of so many of the Arab uprisings together with the ascendance of apocalyptic extremists like Daesh and Boko Haram have caused an even greater sense of alarm in large parts of the Muslim-majority world. It is against this backdrop that M.A. Muqtedar Khan has written a book of breathtaking range and ethical beauty. The author explores the history and sociology of the Muslim world, both classic and contemporary. He does so, however, not merely to chronicle the phases of its development, but to explore just why the message of compassion, mercy, and ethical beauty so prominent in the Quran and Sunna of the Prophet came over time to be displaced by a narrow legalism that emphasized jurisprudence, punishment, and social control. In the modern era, Western Orientalists and Islamists alike have pushed the juridification and interpretive reification of Islamic ethical traditions even further. Each group has asserted that the essence of Islam lies in jurisprudence (fiqh), and both have tended to imagine this legal heritage on the model of Western positive law, according to which law is authorized, codified, and enforced by a leviathan state. “Reification of Shariah and equating of Islam and Shariah has a rather emaciating effect on Islam,” Khan rightly argues. It leads its proponents to overlook “the depth and heights of Islamic faith, mysticism, philosophy or even emotions such as divine love (Muhabba)” (13). As the sociologist of Islamic law, Sami Zubaida, has similarly observed, in all these developments one sees evidence, not of a traditionalist reassertion of Muslim values, but a “triumph of Western models” of religion and state (Zubaida 2003:135). To counteract these impoverishing trends, Khan presents a far-reaching analysis that “seeks to move away from the now failed vision of Islamic states without demanding radical secularization” (2). He does so by positioning himself squarely within the ethical and mystical legacy of the Qur’an and traditions of the Prophet. As the book’s title makes clear, the key to this effort of religious recovery is “the cosmology of Ihsan and the worldview of Al-Tasawwuf, the science of Islamic mysticism” (1-2). For Islamist activists whose models of Islam have more to do with contemporary identity politics than a deep reading of Islamic traditions, Khan’s foregrounding of Ihsan may seem unfamiliar or baffling. But one of the many achievements of this book is the skill with which it plumbs the depth of scripture, classical commentaries, and tasawwuf practices to recover and confirm the ethic that lies at their heart. “The Quran promises that God is with those who do beautiful things,” the author reminds us (Khan 2019:1). The concept of Ihsan appears 191 times in 175 verses in the Quran (110). The concept is given its richest elaboration, Khan explains, in the famous hadith of the Angel Gabriel. This tradition recounts that when Gabriel appeared before the Prophet he asked, “What is Ihsan?” Both Gabriel’s question and the Prophet’s response make clear that Ihsan is an ideal at the center of the Qur’an and Sunna of the Prophet, and that it enjoins “perfection, goodness, to better, to do beautiful things and to do righteous deeds” (3). It is this cosmological ethic that Khan argues must be restored and implemented “to develop a political philosophy … that emphasizes love over law” (2). In its expansive exploration of Islamic ethics and civilization, Khan’s Islam and Good Governance will remind some readers of the late Shahab Ahmed’s remarkable book, What is Islam? The Importance of Being Islamic (Ahmed 2016). Both are works of impressive range and spiritual depth. But whereas Ahmed stood in the humanities wing of Islamic studies, Khan is an intellectual polymath who moves easily across the Islamic sciences, social theory, and comparative politics. He brings the full weight of his effort to conclusion with policy recommendations for how “to combine Sufism with political theory” (6), and to do so in a way that recommends specific “Islamic principles that encourage good governance, and politics in pursuit of goodness” (8).
