Medication Adherence App for Food Pantry Clients With Diabetes: A Feasibility Study

Low-income food pantry clients are unable to adhere to the diet and physical activity recommendations of the American Diabetes Association. The aim of the study is to test the feasibility of using a mobile phone app to improve diabetes medication adherence. Clients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes were enrolled in a mobile phone app featuring 70 days of text message reminders and incentives. The app and the 4-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale evaluated medication adherence. Clinically significant medication adherence of 93% was achieved with use of the app. Phone app use is feasible among urban low-income clients to improve medication adherence.     

纸本与数字的交互：手机阅读的最佳效果

随着全球3G商用的推进和拥有大容量存储能力的智能终端的日益普及,手机正逐步演变成为一个新型的数字阅读终端。利用手机进行电子阅读的全新模式,正以前所未有的普及速度冲击着人们的阅读习惯。而这趋势也逐渐为"阅读"进行重新的定义。对于每一个读者而言,在这样一个信息化的时代里,手机阅读和纸本阅读的交互使用、取长补短,才是获得最佳阅读效果的最有效方式。     

Midterm results of mobile-bearing knee replacements

We examined the clinical and radiographic results of 93 patients affected by knee arthritis or osteonecrosis subjected to unilateral cementless mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty with the LCS prothesis (Depuy/Johnson & Johnson). The mean follow-up was 9.5 years (range, 7–12 years). Clinical evaluation was performed using the Knee Society rating system, while radiographic evaluation was done according to the Knee Society roentgenographic system. At the latest follow-up, the mean knee score was 87 points: the functional score improved from 40 to 90. Radiolucent lines were small and not progressive. The implant survival at 12 years was 88%. Six knees (7%) required revision for implant-related problems. We conclude that the mobile-bearing prosthesis is a successful device even at long-term follow-up.

In-ear-EEG – a portable platform for home monitoring

Abstract

There are many useful medical treatment devices today, which are indispensable in health care. However, in some emergency situations and in prehospital care mobile, easy-to-use devices could further improve the patient-centred care. For example, a mobile, easy-to-use home-monitoring EEG-system would be useful for monitoring diseases like epilepsy and for treating diseases like attention deficit disorder (ADHD) using biofeedback. Such a device should be equipped with the ability to start self-performed by user recordings and provide high signal quality, while having an affordable price. Here, we used in-ear-EEG technology and state of the art electronic components to develop such a system. This paper presents a portable, all-in-one EEG-system, capable to record biosignals on the external ear. An amplifier was developed with ADS1299 and optimised to be coupled with a smartphone. The system has a low price and at the same time provides high signal quality, has very effective common-mode-rejection, performs a fast cold start and shows low power consumptions which ensures a long time of operation. The system is easy to use and could be self-mounted and controlled by unskilled users as well. Results of test measurements are compared to a conventional EEG-System and show comparable records results quality.     

Correlation between the occurrence of 1H-MRS lipid signal, necrosis and lipid droplets during C6 rat glioma development

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible correlation between the 1H MRS mobile lipid signal, necrosis and lipid droplets in C6 rat glioma. First, the occurrence of necrosis and lipid droplets was determined during tumor development, by a histological analysis performed on 34 rats. Neither necrosis nor lipid droplets were observed before 18 days post-implantation. At later stages of development, both necrosis and lipid droplets were apparent, the lipid droplets being mainly located within the necrotic areas. Using a second group of eight rats, a temporal correlation was evidenced between mobile lipid signal detected by in vivo single-voxel one- (136 ms echo time) and two-dimensional J-resolved 1H MR spectroscopy, and the presence of necrosis and lipid droplets on the histological sections obtained from the brains of the same rats. Finally, spatial distribution of the mobile lipid signal was analyzed by chemical-shift imaging performed on a third group of eight animals, at the end of the tumor growth. The spectroscopic image corresponding to the resonance of mobile lipids had its maximum intensity in the center of the tumor where necrotic regions were observed on the histological sections. These necrotic areas contained large amounts of lipid droplets. All these results suggest that mobile lipids detected in vivo by 1H MRS (136 ms echo time) in C6 rat brain glioma arise mainly from lipid droplets located in necrosis.     

心理健康教育对大学生手机依赖及心理健康的干预效果

目的 分析心理健康教育干预(抑制控制训练联合积极情绪训练)对大学生手机依赖的干预效果。方法 对河南省3所高校600名大学生采用大学生手机成瘾倾向量表对其手机依赖情况进行调查,筛选存在手机依赖大学生随机分为对照组(66人)与观察组(67人),对照组给予抑制控制训练干预,观察组在此基础上联合积极情绪训练干预,比较2组干预前后手机依赖程度及心理健康状况的变化。结果 干预前2组手机成瘾量表评分、手机使用时间、心理弹性量表评分、认知情绪调节量表评分、抑制冲突效应量对比差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。干预后3个月,观察组手机成瘾量表评分(37.11±5.01)分,低于对照组的(41.25±6.33)分;观察组手机使用时间(2.72±0.71)h,低于对照组的(3.37±0.55)h;观察组认知情绪调节量表评分(88.79±5.66)分、心理弹性量表评分(76.63±3.97)分,高于对照组的(81.14±4.79)分、(71.75±4.55)分;观察组抑制冲突效应量(40.35±10.22)ms,低于对照组的(45.14±5.66)ms,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01)。大学生手机成瘾倾向量表评分与认知情绪调节量表、心理弹性量表评分呈负相关(r=-0.397、-0.453,P<0.01),与冲突抑制效应量呈正相关(r=0.498,P<0.01)。结论 手机依赖直接影响大学生认知情绪调节及心理韧性;而以积极心理学为指导,开展抑制控制训练联合积极情绪训练,可减轻大学生手机依赖,提升认知情绪调节能力及心理韧性,改善自我控制能力,有助于促进其心理健康发展。
