Sociodemographic Determinants of Missed Telehealth Appointments in Colorectal Surgery

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic facilitated telehealth adoption. Multiple barriers may impact accessibility to such services. We estimated the association between sociodemographic and clinical factors, with keeping telehealth appointments. METHOD(S): Single-center retrospective cohort study comprising consecutive telehealth appointments at the Division of Colorectal Surgery (March-December 2020). Demographics, appointment type, diagnosis, and distance to the hospital were collected. Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's (FFIEC) website was used to obtain estimated family income and poverty levels based on home location. Multivariable clustered logistic regression estimated the association between sociodemographic characteristics and keeping telehealth appointments. RESULT(S): A total of 925 telehealth appointments were analyzed, of which 84.11% were kept. Non-White patients (odds ratio [OR] 0.59, 95% CI 0.39-0.90, p = 0.015), and those with follow-up appointments (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.31-3.07, p = 0.006) had lower odds of keeping appointments when compared with White patients, and those having postoperative appointments, respectively. Patients who had attended college had higher odds of keeping appointments (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.02-3.07, p = 0.044) when compared with those who declined to provide their education level (Figure 1). Age, sex, diagnosis, income level, and percentage of people living under poverty within census tracts per FFIEC were not predictors of keeping telehealth appointments. CONCLUSION(S): Patients self-identifying as non-White and presenting for non-postoperative follow-up visits were more likely to miss telehealth appointments. College education was associated with keeping appointments. Future studies could characterize barriers to telehealth programs implementation to optimize access among groups at high risk of non-compliance. (Figure Presented).

What is it they want? Student perceptions of emergency remote teaching

The pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus made it necessary for schools around the world to adopt emergency remote teaching (ERT) practices;many schools opted to move to online classes. This chapter reports on student perceptions of ERT at a Mexican university. Data were collected through focus groups with 106 undergraduate students and analyzed qualitatively using thematic analysis. Themes that were identified include negative aspects such as barriers to learning and incomplete university experience, but also positive aspects such as convenience of online learning and technological affordances of online learning. Findings show that synchronous online classes helped the participants feel more connected during an emotionally fraught time. © 2022, IGI Global. All rights reserved.

HOW MUCH TIME DOES TIME HAVE? THE DAILY LIVES OF CHILDREN DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Articulating the Social Studies of Childhood and a contemporary approach in Developmental Psychology, this study aimed to investigate the experience of children from Salvador, Brazil, and its metropolitan region, concerning their organization of time during Covid-19 pandemic;particularly, how children organize their days, how they perceive the passage of time, and how they have been managing free and institutionalized time within the domestic space. Results show a significant increase in the time spent with electronic devices and screens, a reduction is physical activities, and the feeling of boredom by some children. This feeling was preceded by the reorganization of their weeks with the main activities they usually did before the pandemic – school, extracurricular, and leisure activities – in the remote system. © 2022, Centro de Estudos Educacao e Sociedade - CEDES.

CHILDREN’S DIGITAL ACTIVISM IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC

The present work has as main objective to present some of the actions of children considered digital influencers to promote awareness and coping for preventing Covid-19. The data collection was carried out from a digital ethnography, analyzing the social medias and linked news in the media of eleven children from different countries (Brazil, United States, Uganda and Sweden). It was possible to identify that the Internet has enabled visibility to minority groups, such as children, allowing this social group to engage in actions that they consider relevant in an articulated way, obtaining greater visibility of their activism through social media and accessing people who until then were disregarded in the agendas of social movements. © 2022, Centro de Estudos Educacao e Sociedade - CEDES.

SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC DETERMINANTS OF MISSED TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENTS IN HPB SURGERY

Introduction: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare delivery systems evolved;we initially transitioned from in-person to telemedicine for outpatient clinics, and now into a mixed in-person/virtual environment. However, we do not know whether or how sociodemographic factors influence access to these services. These new systems may increase or decrease barriers to care, potentially leading to different challenges and sources of disparity in access to care. We aimed to investigate whether sociodemographic factors were associated with the rate of missed telehealth appointments. Methods: This single-institution retrospective cohort study included a sample of adult patients scheduled to visit the department's pancreaticobiliary surgeons via telehealth during the early phase of the pandemic (March- December 2020). We collected patients' sociodemographic factors, clinical characteristics, and whether they kept their appointment. Multivariable clustered logistic regression was performed to study the association between sociodemographic factors and keeping appointments, adjusting for clinical characteristics (diagnosis) and socioeconomic factors (distance from home to clinic, percentage of the studied population/tract classified as a minority — tract minority, and tract's income level). Results: 353 telehealth visits were included. Overall, 89.5% of the appointments were kept. Patients who had low education levels (OR:0.26;95%CI:0.09-0.76), were Black (OR:0.08;95%CI:0.03-0.23), male (OR:0.21;95%CI:0.07- 0.60) or non-English speaking (OR:0.04;95%CI:0.00-0.44) had lower odds of keeping appointments when compared to patients with high education levels, non-Hispanic white patients, females, and English speakers, respectively. There was a significant interaction between race/ethnicity and language. See Table 1 for cohort characteristics. Conclusion: After adjusted analysis, low education level, non-white or Hispanic race/ethnicity, male gender, and non-English language predicted missed telehealth appointments. A better understanding of how these factors influence access to telehealth, may help drive the subsequent development of interventions to mitigate this systems-based disparity. Further studies with a bigger sample size and designed as mixed methods may add to an understanding of the relationship between sociodemographic factors and access to virtual healthcare.

The creation of a participatory guarantee system in times of a pandemic (COVID-19), in the state of Alagoas

The process of creating a Participatory Guarantee System (SPG) in the state of Alagoas has mobilized a diversity of subjects in the territories, such as family farmers, agrarian reform and land credit settlers, indigenous people, campers and landowners. The effective participation of the members of the participatory system is one of the guiding principles of the SPG, which, due to the current reality of the public health crisis caused by the pandemic (COVID-19), had to be improved through digital technologies. The present study aims to highlight the strategies used to carry out a relevant step in the process of creating the GSP, referring to the choice of the name that will represent the network of farmers and collaborators within the Participatory Conformity Assessment Organization (OPAC) at the national level. national. To face the difficulty of accessing the internet in rural communities, as well as the restricted access to cell phones and computers, three digital tools were used, specific to each stage of the process. The methodology was considered effective and ensured the participatory character of the SPG "baptism" process, which became known as SPG Bem Viver.

Brazilian version of bedtime procrastination scale validated during social isolation due to COVID-19

Introduction: The prevalence of sleep disorders has increased over time, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, and among them, insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea are the most common. However, some individual behaviors are also related to decreased sleep quality and its possible consequences. In this regard, bedtime procrastination plays an important role in decreasing the quality of sleep, which may be related to the onset of diseases such as depression, obesity and cognitive deficit. Thus, the Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS) was developed to measure various aspects of this phenomenon. Objective: To develop a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Bedtime Procrastination Scale and examine its psychometric properties. Methods: The data was obtained from online surveys using the Brazilian adaptation of the BPS. The validation followed the steps of preparation, translation, reconciliation of translations, back-translation, review, pre-test and validation. Exploratory Factor Analysis with the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Technique was used to extract the factors. To assess the factorability of the generated matrix, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's Sphericity tests were used. KMO values above 0.8 and statistical significance (p ≤ 0.05) of the Bartlett Sphericity Test were considered adequate. Eigenvalues above 1 were used to demarcate the number of factors to be extracted. Varimax rotation was used to improve the interpretation of the extracted factors and subsequently, each item selected to represent the underlying construct were those with a factor load ≥ 0.4. Results: In a sample of 495 volunteers (Age = 31.61 (12.03), 65.9% female), the BPS was applied, with results ranging from 9 to 45. The students scored 32 (9) and the teachers 29 (10). The KaiserMeyer-Olkin test (KMO) (0.914) and Bartlett's sphericity (p <0.001) indicated the adequacy of the factorial matrix. As for the consistency of the extracted factors, there was greater precision and reliability in factor 1 (Cronbach's α 0.9). Conclusion: This research validated the Bedtime Procrastination Scale to Brazilian Portuguese. It showed that during the COVID-19 pandemic social isolation, the student and teacher body procrastinated the bedtime even without labor activities for the next day.

COMPARING ACADEMIC CHALLENGES AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN CONCUSSED ADOLESCENTS PRIOR TO AND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Background: Post-concussion sequelae in adolescents include physical, cognitive, and psychosocial effects that may result in reduced quality of life (QOL) and academic challenges when returning to school. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in altered teaching and learning models outside the traditional in-person classroom, and elevated psychosocial stress and isolation among adolescents. It is unknown whether these changes affected QOL or academic challenges postconcussion. Hypothesis/Purpose: To compare self-reported QOL and academic challenges among concussed adolescents prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Concussed adolescents were enrolled from secondary schools and children's medical centers across seven sites into the Sport Concussion Outcomes in Pediatrics (SCOPE) study (PRiSM Concussion RIG). Participants completed demographics, medical history, symptom report, the Concussion Learning Assessment and School Survey (CLASS) and QOL via PROMIS Pediatric Global 25 during their first evaluation visit. Participants were grouped by date ranges: September 2018-January 2020 (Pre-COVID-19) and September 2020-May 2021 (COVID-19). No participants were enrolled between February-August 2020 (cessation of clinical research activities during this time.) Results: A total of 141 patients were enrolled. Mean age=14.9±2.4 years, 61% self-reported as male, 82% white and 85% not Hispanic or Latino, 5.2+3.1 days post-injury (range=1-14 days). Seventy-four patients were enrolled prior to COVID, and 67 were enrolled during COVID (Table 1). No significant differences were found between the 'Pre-COVID-19' group versus 'During COVID-19' group in symptom resolution, symptom severity score, QOL, or academic concerns (Table 2). The only difference was the 'person at school who is best to coordinate support.' A significantly lower proportion of participants who sustained their concussion during COVID-19 reported their principal/assistant principal would be the best person to coordinate support compared to those who sustained their concussion before the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast, a significantly higher proportion of those who sustained their concussion during the COVID-19 pandemic reported their coach would be the best person to coordinate support. Conclusion: In this convenience yet nationally representative sample, students who sustained a concussion during the pandemic did not report increased academic concerns or reduced QOL compared to those whose injury was prior to the pandemic. Median symptom severity was lower during the pandemic, though not statistically significant. These findings could represent shifted priorities of the principal/assistant principal but still adequate support from medical and schoolbased staff;less academic stress and greater flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic;or may represent limitations in the CLASS instrument to detect differences that occurred during the pandemic.

Psychological well-being of Mexican adolescent athletes confined by the COVID-19 pandemic

The present pandemic has affected psychological well-being in all areas, but in adolescent athletes, its impact is unknown. The objective of the present research is to determine the perceived psychological well-being, subjective vitality and mental strength of confined Mexican adolescent athletes depending on: sex, age and type of sport, as well as the predictive role of different variables evaluated in the perceived psychological well-being of athletes. 522 high level athletes, 280 men and 242 women, 16 +/- 1y, were administered the Psychological Well-being Scale for Adolescents (BIEPS-J), the Subjective Vitality Scale, and the translation of the Mental Toughness Inventory (MTI). The results showed that 15% of the athletes perceived low psychological well-being, self-acceptance was the most damaged dimension Males showed better perceived psychological well-being, increased vitality and in mental strength (p = 0.003, p = 0.001;p = 0.003). The variables included in the model that best explained the high and low levels of well-being were mental toughness (37%). It is suggested that third generation positive interventions will be implemented in sports care programs after confinement. Furthermore, we consider it necessary to continue exploring variables that can predict the psychological well-being.

A Fog and Blockchain Software Architecture for a Global Scale Vaccination Strategy

Nowadays, there are many fragmented records of patient’s health data in different locations like hospitals, clinics, and organizations all around the world. With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, several governments and institutions struggled to have satisfactory, fast, and accurate decision-making in a wide, dispersed, and global environment. In the current literature, we found that the most common related challenges include delay (network latency), software scalability, health data privacy, and global patient identification. We propose to design, implement and evaluate a healthcare software architecture focused on a global vaccination strategy, considering healthcare privacy issues, latency mitigation, support of scalability, and the use of a global identification. We have designed and implemented a prototype of a healthcare software called Fog-Care, evaluating performance metrics like latency, throughput and send rate of a hypothetical scenario where a global integrated vaccination campaign is adopted in wide dispensed locations (Brazil, USA, and United Kingdom), with an approach based on blockchain, unique identity, and fog computing technologies. The evaluation results demonstrate that the minimum latency spends less than 1 second to run, and the average of this metric grows in a linear progression, showing that a decentralized infrastructure integrating blockchain, global unique identification, and fog computing are feasible to make a scalable solution for a global vaccination campaign within other hospitals, clinics, and research institutions around the world and its data-sharing issues of privacy, and identification.

Analysis of Medical Device Reports Involving Ventilator-Related Incidents in a Clinical Setting: Insights and Lessons Learned

Continuous ventilators are a critical resource for the treatment and management of respiratory diseases, particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare technology management professionals (HTMs) are instrumental toward protecting the safety of patients by ensuring that ventilators and ventilator accessories (ventilator-related medical devices) remain functional during their lifetime. This article discusses a retrospective analysis on the failure modes described in ventilator-related medical device reports that were submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration Medical Product Safety Network (MedSun). In addition, the article also examines MedSun case studies, obtained from medical device reports, to provide HTMs with a comprehensive analysis of the lifecycle of a safety signal and how their input is essential to improve the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. Postmarket medical device surveillance in a constantly changing medical device ecosystem benefits from the first-hand knowledge that HTMs contribute to the cross-functional collaboration between the clinical community, medical device manufacturers, and the US Food and Drug Administration.

Estimating Time Lost on Semaphores with Deep Learning

Traffic flow congestion is a very present problem on the daily life of citizens of big cities. Furthermore, it is growing by the day because of the increase of population. Furthermore, it has undesirable consequences such as an increase of air pollution levels and a worse life quality. Traditional solutions, such as investing on public transport, are less effective nowadays because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A good alternative are traffic flow optimization methods, e.g., signal on-off times optimization methods. However, these methods use traffic simulators that are very time consuming and typically act as a bottleneck for the optimization algorithm. In this work, we study if and how Deep Learning models could replace traffic simulators for a more performant alternative for its use on optimization methods. We design several network architectures and use them to predict vehicle and pedestrian time lost in a specific intersection of the city of Salamanca (Spain). The best of our models has an average Mean Absolute Error (MAE) lower than a second using 10-fold cross-validation. Finally, we discuss mechanisms to generalize our models to other intersections using only a reduced amount of data.

Risk factors for severe COVID-19 infection in Brazilian children

The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological characteristics and clinical outcome of children hospitalized with COVID-19 and identify the risk factors for severe disease. All hospital admissions of pediatric patients between March and December 2020 in the southern region of Brazil were reviewed and the patients positive for RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 were identified. This region encompasses a population of over 2.8 million children and adolescents. Data were extracted from a national database that includes all cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome requiring hospitalization in Brazil. A total of 288 hospitalizations (51.3% female) with a median age of 3 years (interquartile range 0-12 years) were identified. Of these, 38.9% had chronic medical conditions, 55.6% required some form of supplementary oxygen, and 30.2% were admitted to an intensive care unit. There were 17 deaths (5.9%) related to COVID-19. Age less than 30 days was significantly associated with increased odds of critical illness (OR 9.52, 95% CI 3.01-30.08), as well as the presence of one chronic condition (OR 5.08 95%CI 2.78-9.33) or two or more chronic conditions (OR 6.60, 95% CI 3.17-13.74). Conclusion: Age under 30 days old and presence of chronic conditions were strongly associated with unfavorable outcomes in Brazilian children with SARS-CoV-2 infection. These findings could help local public health authorities to develop specific policies to protect this more vulnerable group of children. (c) 2021 Sociedade Brasileira de Infectologia.

Clean production of biofuel from waste cooking oil to reduce emissions, fuel cost, and respiratory disease hospitalizations

Renewable energies are cleaner forms of energy, and their use, has intensified in recent decades. Thus, this work presents a proposal for reducing the emissions, fuel cost, and respiratory disease hospitalizations using environmental cost accounting principles to produce biodiesel production from waste frying oil. In our methodology, we conducted surveys, and collected waste cooking oil samples from local households and restaurants in São Paulo city, Brazil. Then, we produced biodiesel using these samples. Data on air pollutants were collected and correlated with the number of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases and their costs. Our results indicate that 330,000 respiratory disease hospitalizations were recorded in São Paulo city between 2009 and 2018, and the total cost for the Brazilian government reached US $117 million. Improving the city air quality by switching from fossil fuels to biodiesel could reduce the annual number of hospitalizations to 9880 and cost US $3.518 million, because the amount of pollutants emitted from burning fossil fuels was positively correlated with the number of respiratory disease hospitalizations and their costs. Moreover, the emission rates of particulate matter with particles less than 10 and 2.5 µm in diameter exceeded the World Health Organization limits throughout the study period. Using the survey data, we estimated that the average monthly quantity of waste cooking oil was 9794.6 m3, which could generate 9191.2 m3 of biodiesel and produce 239,713 t CO2 of carbon credits. Environmental cost accounting revealed that it would be possible to achieve an annual profit of approximately US $300 million from the sale of excess biodiesel, carbon credits, and glycerine, and fuel acquisition savings which could improve the image of São Paulo city and quality of life of its residents. Thus, we present this as a way to reduce cost and hospitalizations, and increase the number of available hospital beds for other diseases, such as COVID-19. © 2021 by the authors.

DIRECTORS OPINION AS TO THE INFLUENCE OF COVID-19 ON THE SOCIO-EMOTIONAL-AFFECTIVE ASPECT OF THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY

The study aimed to explain the opinion of school principals regarding the influence of COVID-19 on the socio-emotional-affective aspect of students, teachers, coordinators and the school community in order to contribute to public policies in the field of health and education, in networks teaching institutions. This was a descriptive exploratory cross-sectional study carried out in a public municipal and state education network, in a Brazilian capital, from 06/02/2020 to 07/02/2020. 172 directors participated in the survey, who answered an electronic form via Google Form, sent by email. The data were treated using simple descriptive statistics by the program IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0 for Windows 10. In the perception of the directors of the municipal and state education network, COVID-19 "influenced a lot" in the socio-emotional-affective aspects of students, teachers, coordinators and school community. It is therefore necessary to work in a network with contributions linked to new technologies and emotional health in education.

Novel antimicrobial materials designed for the 3D printing of medical devices used during the COVID-19 crisis

Purpose: This study aims to describe the preparation of antimicrobial material usable in 3D printing of medical devices. Despite the wealth of technological progress at the time of the crisis caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus: Virus that causes current Pandemic situation (COVID-19), the global population had long been exposed beforehand to an acute absence of essential medical devices. As a response, a new type of composite materials intended for rapid prototyping, based on layered silicate saponite (Sap), antimicrobial dye phloxine B (PhB) and thermoplastics, has been recently developed. Design/methodology/approach: Sap was modified with a cationic surfactant and subsequently functionalized with PhB. The hybrid material in powder form was then grounded with polyethylene terephthalate-glycol (PETG) or polylactic acid (PLA) in a precisely defined weight ratio and extruded into printing filaments. The stability and level of cytotoxicity of these materials in various physiological environments simulating the human body have been studied. The applicability of these materials in bacteria and a yeast-infected environment was evaluated. Findings: Ideal content of the hybrid material, with respect to thermoplastic, was 15 weight %. Optimal printing temperature and speed, with respect to maintaining antimicrobial activity of the prepared materials, were T = 215°C at 50 mm/s for PETG/SapPhB and T = 230°C at 40 mm/s for PLA/SapPhB. 3 D-printed air filters made of these materials could keep inner air flow at 63.5% and 76.8% of the original value for the PLA/SapPhB and PETG/SapPhB, respectively, whereas the same components made without PhB had a 100% reduction of airflow. Practical implications: The designed materials can be used for rapid prototyping of medical devices. Originality/value: The new materials have been immediately used in the construction of an emergency lung ventilator, Q-vent, which has been used in different countries during the COVID-19 crisis. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Complement c3 a-chain as an indicator of disease severity in COVID-19

INTRODUCTION: As we combat the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, elucidating its immunological pathogenesis is vital for both understanding and treating the disease. A few case studies have suggested that the complement system may play an important role in the course of infection, but its specific role is unclear. Our group has shown that higher circulating levels of the complement C3, particularly C3 α-chain, can be a significant predictor of survival in septic shock patients. We therefore sought to investigate if a similar relationship could be seen in SARS-CoV-2. METHODS: Thirty-six COVID-19 patients were consented for this study. Serial blood samples were collected at different time points from 22 patients not in the ICU and 14 in the ICU at the time of collection. The plasma samples were analyzed using Western Blot for circulating C3 α-chain levels. Clinical data on hematologic, respiratory, renal and coagulation status were collected. The data were analyzed for differences in ICU and Non-ICU patients and for correlations of C3 α-chain levels and clinical parameters. RESULTS: In ICU patients, in mean levels of C3 α-chain had a statistically significant increase from Days 0-5 since admission to Days 16-20 (p = 0.042). C3 α-chain levels were positively correlated with time since admission (R = 0.5401, p = 0.0115). In ICU patients, C3 α-chain levels were negatively correlated with Creatinine levels (R = -0.4515, p<0.05), Neutrophil Percentage (R = -0.5525, p<0.001) and Absolute Count (R = -0.6297, p<0.001) and positively correlated with Lymphocyte Percentage (R= 0.6748, p<0.001). In Non-ICU patients, C3 α-chain levels were negatively correlated with Neutrophil Percentage (R = -0.4929, p<0.05), BUN levels (R = -0.5055, p<0.001), and positively correlated with Lymphocyte Percentage (R = 0.45, p<0.05) and Absolute Count (R = 0.6134, p<0.001) and platelet levels (R = 0.4636, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In summary, levels of circulating C3 α- chain increased with time in ICU patients. C3 α-chain levels negatively correlated with renal injury markers and systemic neutrophil levels. Moreover, C3 α-chain levels positively correlated with circulating lymphocyte levels. These results indicate that native C3 is important in fighting against COVID-19 infection and may be a critical prognostic marker of disease progression.

Remote physical therapy during COVID-19 pandemic: guidelines in the Brazilian context

Introduction: On March 11, 2020, Covid-19 was characterized by the World Health Organization as a pandemic. In this context, different health professional councils have adopted initiatives to use communication technologies to provide services at a distance. Specifically, for physiotherapy, the Federal Council of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy (COFFITO) made possible the modalities of teleconsultation, teleconsulting, and telemonitoring. Objective: This study aimed to develop guidelines for physiotherapists who provide teleservices, which will help ensure the safety and quality of their professional practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: An integrative literature review was conducted through PubMed (National Library of Medicine), Cochrane Library, Higher Education Personnel Improvement Coordination Portal - CAPES, Virtual Health Library, Google Scholar, and personal experience within the team to develop guidelines for remote physical therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Initially, 3,298 articles were selected from all cited search bases, scaled to 2,031 after exclusion due to repetition, 78 were in compliance with the proposed study, 73 of which were excluded for not answering the guiding question;therefore, 5 articles were accepted for the final analysis and used for the elaboration of the guidelines. Conclusion: The results provide an overview of the literature and guidelines for physiotherapists to implement physiotherapy teleconsultation, as well as some of the challenges that need to be considered © 2022, Fisioterapia em Movimento.All Rights Reserved.
