Improving documentation of oral chemotherapy doses in a pediatric oncology clinic

Background: Home-administered oral chemotherapy is the backbone of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy. Daily administration is required for 1.5 to 2.5 years in the maintenance phase of this therapy, where decreased adherence negatively impacts survival. Therefore, optimal communication of appropriate dose is required for parents, patients, and providers. In the oncology clinic, the doses of these medications are documented in the note, treatment plan, and medication list to facilitate such chemotherapy. In a review of our electronic medical record (EMR), we have noted inconsistency in correct dose documentation. We are therefore implementing quality improvement methods …

Fatos estilizados dos fundos de Private Equity no Brasil

O objetivo deste estudo é evidenciar fatos estilizados dos fundos de Private Equity no Brasil, a fim de compreender como se dá essa modalidade de investimento no mercado de capitais brasileiro. Para tanto, utilizou-se de dados secundários de 12 fundos que possuem domicílio no Brasil e investem em empresas brasileiras. Os dados foram obtidos através do sistema de informações da Bloomberg. Os resultados mostram que o benchmark mais utilizado pelos fundos estudados foi o DI-Cetip, o Fix TRX Des Imob I possui o maior retorno, o Brasil Invest 2014 I FIP tem o maior risco da amostra, e o Barao Vermelho FIP o menor. Quanto ao tracking error, o fundo que apresentou maior afastamento do benchmark foi o Brasil Invest 2014 I FIP. Além disso, foi observado beta negativo em diversos fundos, o que reforça a ideia de que existem medidas mais adequadas que o beta para avaliar o risco dos países com mercados emergentes. No geral, o fundo FIP TRX Des Imob I apresentou o melhor desempenho dos fundos analisados, não só pela boa performance nos índices IS, IT, Alfa de Jensen e Isor, mas também por ser um dos mais aderentes ao benchmark e possuir uma das menores volatilidades da amostra. Por outro lado, o fundo Brasil Invest 2014 FIP apresentou a menor aderência ao benchmark, além de ser o fundo mais volátil da amostra.

분기기에 적용된 밀착검지기 비교 및 분석

분기기는 선로의 방향을 전환하기 위해 사용되며, 열차의 이동 방향에 따라 정위, 반위로 동작한다. 이러한 분기기의 동작에 따른 성능은 분기기의 주요 동작부에 설치된 밀착검지기를 통해 확인할 수 있다. 밀착검지기는 분기기의 텅레일이 기본 레일에 밀착되는 정도를 검지하여 분기기의 불일치를 확인하고, 이에 따라 열차의 진행 여부를 결정하는 역할을 하며, 관련 검지 결과는 대부분 원격에서 확인된다. 본 논문은 국내에서 현재 사용중인 밀착검지기에 대한 기술적 특성을 비교, 분석함으로서 향후 상태기반 유지보수에 적용할 수 있는 밀착검지기의 개발 방안을 도출하기 위한 목적을 갖는다.

I Am Cleopatra: The Seduction and Stoicism of a Newly Identified Painting by Matthäus Merian the Younger (1621 – 1687)

Abstract A previously anonymous Death of Cleopatra is here attributed to the Basel-born painter Matthäus Merian the Younger. Besides crucial stylistic connections with his known works, further evidence is given by a signed engraving, which was never associated with any known painting. The print is inscribed with a poem and a dedication to his patron Baron Septimus Jörger von Tollet. Word and image summarize the fascination and criticism that Cleopatra has aroused since antiquity. Presenting a warning against the power of her seduction while exhibiting her stoic death by virtue of the constancy of her love for Mark Antony, they respond to Merian’s adherence to the principles of Neostoicism. Merian creates a remarkably original Cleopatra that provides a key for future identifications of this lesser-known facet of his oeuvre.

Adherence to Egyptian pediatric acute otitis media guideline in Egypt

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the adherence of different specialties (family physicians, pediatricians, and otolaryngologists) to Egyptian clinical practice guideline dealing with pediatric acute otitis media (AOM) in Egypt. Background Egyptian clinical practice guideline for AOM has been promoted as a strategy to measure and improve the quality of patient care. However, more efforts have been expended on creating guidelines than implementing them. Patients and methods It was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Participants from different specialties, such as family physicians, pediatricians, and otolaryngologists were selected by systematic random techniques from the list of participants in the conferences. A self-administered questionnaire with 26 items that covered all the aspects of management of Egyptian clinical practice guideline for AOM was distributed to the participants to assess their adherence to the Egyptian guideline of AOM. Results Poor adherence to the Egyptian guideline of AOM was detected in all specialties without significant differences (92.5% of family physicians, 100% of otolaryngologists, and 100% of pediatricians). A physician's age, sex, scientific degree, and experience did not significantly affect the adherence. Conclusion Poor adherence of different specialties to the Egyptian guideline of AOM in Egypt was observed. Resolving this challenge will require comprehensive policy appraisal and harmonized actions at different AOM health care providers. Mere dissemination of evidence and promotion of guidelines will not help.

Calibração do modelo de aceitação de brechas em interseções urbanas com o microssimulador de tráfego VISSIM

Este artigo tem como objetivo principal propor um método para a modelagem do processo de aceitação de brechas em interseções urbanas não semaforizadas utilizando o microssimulador VISSIM. O método proposto tem como medida-alvo o tempo que o motorista leva no processo de avaliação das brechas, ou seja, o tempo de espera enquanto está na primeira posição da fila. O c2 da aderência entre as distribuições dos tempos de espera (simulados e observados) e a diferença entre as médias foram utilizados na estimação da brecha crítica. O método foi aplicado em uma interseção da cidade de Fortaleza. Os resultados indicaram valores levemente diferentes da brecha crítica entre os movimentos de conversão. O segundo objetivo deste trabalho é comparar o método proposto com o método de calibração mais convencional, no qual a medida-alvo é uma medida de desempenho do tráfego, como o tamanho médio da fila. O método proposto apresentou melhores resultados.
