Use of a New High-Activity Arthroplasty Score to Assess Function of Young Patients With Total Hip or Knee Arthroplasty

The High-Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) was specifically developed to assess subtle variations in functional ability after lower limb arthroplasty with particular regard to highly functioning individuals. The score was a 4-item self-assessment measure covering the 4 domains of walking, running, stair climbing, and general activities, with a possible score ranging from 0 to 18 points. The score was validated in 22 patients (total hip arthroplasty [THA], n = 11; total knee arthroplasty [TKA], n = 11) by comparison with the Oxford, Knee Society, Harris Hip, and Short WOMAC scores. The HAAS was then administered to 152 high-functioning arthroplasty patients (THA, n = 99; TKA, n = 53), all younger than 66 years. The HAAS produced a much wider range of scores, allowing greater differentiation of level of function between patients in assessing performance after TKA or THA.     

海南省2007—2017年5种性病患者的职业和年龄分布

目的 了解海南省2007—2017年性病患者的职业和年龄分布特征,为制定性病防控对策提供依据。方法 在中国疾病预防控制信息系统传染病信息系统中设置数据筛选条件：①已审核病例;②地区编码为海南省,获取各年度各年龄段和不同职业的报告病例情况。以描述性流行病学方法和趋势分析等方法对2007—2017年海南省性病病例资料进行职业和年龄分布分析,并在年龄分布的基础上进行性别差异分析。结果 海南省2007—2017年性病报告病例数和报告发病率逐年增长,由2007报告的2 862例（34.23/10万）增长至2017年的17 547例（191.35/10万）。2007—2017年商业服务、农民和家务及待业三种职业报告病例数和占总报病数的比例均呈增长趋势（P<0.05）。三种职业合计报告病例数占总报病数的比例由2007年的42.42%增长到2017年的74.00%,增长了74.45%。25岁以下人群的性病报告发病率伴随年龄增长逐渐上升（χ²_趋势=9.874,P=0.002）,25~<30岁年龄段性病报告发病率达到顶峰,随后发病率快速下降（χ²_趋势=5.298,P=0.021）,60岁年龄段开始报告发病率再次随着年龄增长上升（χ²_趋势=5.707,P=0.017）。结论 加强青少年和老年人、社区居民、农民等报告发病率较高人群的性健康教育,防治结合,制定综合的性病防治措施能够有效控制性病疫情。     

职校学生健康危险行为的影响因素及其作用方式

 目的 探讨外部因素和自身因素对职校生健康危险行为的直接和间接影响,为干预活动提供依据。方法 以上海市3所职业学校所有2005年入学的一年级学生为调查对象,采用结构式匿名问卷调查的方式收集有关健康危险行为的信息。结果 亲子关系越好,越少发生健康危险行为;同伴认同度越高越容易发生健康危险行为;同伴认同比亲子关系对职校生健康危险行为的影响更大门此外,自我评价高的对象发生健康危险行为的可能性增加,未发现职校生的学校支持对健康危险行为有直接影响,但对自我评价有积极影响。结论 亲子关系和同伴认同是影响职校生健康危险行为的两个重要因素,提示可利用同伴和家庭资源来有效减少职校生健康危险行为的发生。     

高职医学生教育管理难点与对策思考

加强高职医学生教育管理是医疗卫生事业健康发展、构建和谐医患关系和实现高职医学生可持续发展的需要,高职医学生教育管理面临学生入学基础薄弱,生源素质参差不齐,学生自我约束力不强,学习动力不足,学习专业倾向明显等难点。提高高职医学生素质应实行目标引导,发挥“三自”作用;严格学生管理,营造良好学习氛围;加强文化建设,拓展高职医学生人文素质提升空间。

Facing an Aging Society: Taiwan’s Universities in crisis

ABSTRACT

As a result of the phenomenon of a rapidly aging population and low birth rates, Taiwanese universities face a shortage of traditionally aged students and as a result must respond to older learners’ needs. In response to this demand, the Ministry of Education issued the Lifelong Learning Act in 2002 and White Paper for implementing education for older persons in an aging society in 2006. Universities now face unprecedented challenges as they play a leading role in facilitating these programs. The purpose of this article is to explore the challenges Taiwanese universities face in educating an aging society and to provide some suggestions. First, this article notes current challenges. Second, the development of the status quo of senior education is presented. Third, the changing landscape of universities is discussed. Finally, some suggestions are presented for both university administration and program developers. In conclusion, universities should grasp this opportunity to modify strategies for involving older adults.     

Collaborative task-sharing to enhance the Point-Of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) access among expectant women in Kenya: The role of midwife sonographers

Unrealized maternal and child health goals continue to challenge Kenya where adverse outcomes remain high and diagnostic services are limited. The acute shortage of doctors and radiographers requires alternate human resources for health (HRH) with the ability to identify risk factors in pregnancy through Point-Of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS). A specialist radiologist and ultrasonography team partnered with midwives to adopt interprofessional task sharing and capacity building. Faculty from the Radiology Department of our hospital designed and implemented the project which was carried out at three outreach health service centres. Designing and implementing a training model to skill midwife sonographers with the capacity to accurately identify risk factors in pregnancy is an effective model to increase POCUS access. A collaborative task sharing model focused on training quality, validation of results, tracking of errors and specialist level clinical supervision yielded a safe and scalable model of HRH capacity building. Programme evaluation, verification of outcomes and dissemination of results were all monitored. The project was a successful HRH task sharing and interprofessional learning initiative involving task sharing a clearly defined suite of sonographer competencies with participating midwives. The programme increased POCUS accessibility at the three outreach clinics with proven outcomes in the early detection and referral of risk factors in pregnancy.     

21世纪我国卫生高职教育研究的发展：基于文献计量学视角

【】 进入新世纪以来,我国高职教育走过了近20年的历程,作为高职教育的重要组成部分,卫生高职教育在医药卫生人才培养上做出了重要贡献。为了解我国卫生高职教育在新世纪的发展、困难和走向,对2000-2017年发表的卫生高职教育论文的时间分布、发表载体及期刊分布、作者分布及研究热点进行文献计量学分析。结果发现,卫生高职教育研究发展较为缓慢,学术交流平台尚不能满足该领域的发展,高层次的人才和梯队建设还应进一步加强,研究方向也应与现代高职教育理念紧密对接。
