How is Big Data reshaping preclinical aging research?

The exponential scientific and technological progress during the past 30 years has favored the comprehensive characterization of aging processes with their multivariate nature, leading to the advent of Big Data in preclinical aging research. Spanning from molecular omics to organism-level deep phenotyping, Big Data demands large computational resources for storage and analysis, as well as new analytical tools and conceptual frameworks to gain novel insights leading to discovery. Systems biology has emerged as a paradigm that utilizes Big Data to gain insightful information enabling a better understanding of living organisms, visualized as multilayered networks of interacting molecules, cells, tissues and organs at different spatiotemporal scales. In this framework, where aging, health and disease represent emergent states from an evolving dynamic complex system, context given by, for example, strain, sex and feeding times, becomes paramount for defining the biological trajectory of an organism. Using bioinformatics and artificial intelligence, the systems biology approach is leading to remarkable advances in our understanding of the underlying mechanism of aging biology and assisting in creative experimental study designs in animal models. Future in-depth knowledge acquisition will depend on the ability to fully integrate information from different spatiotemporal scales in organisms, which will probably require the adoption of theories and methods from the field of complex systems. Here we review state-of-the-art approaches in preclinical research, with a focus on rodent models, that are leading to conceptual and/or technical advances in leveraging Big Data to understand basic aging biology and its full translational potential.

1190. Nudging Away from Alert Fatigue: A Novel Method for Tracking the Impact of Integrated Clinical Decision Support on Meropenem Order Rates

Abstract Background The electronic health record (EHR) has streamlined quality of care and hospital prescribing; however, interruptive alerts and hard restrictions on antibiotic ordering can disrupt clinical workflow, often without significant benefit. This study aimed to determine the impact of permissive restriction on meropenem orders with embedded clinical decision support and prescriber attestation. Methods A quality improvement intervention implemented at Maine Medical Center (MMC, a 700-bed academic medical center) was evaluated through a multisite, quasiexperimental study within MaineHealth Hospitals. The intervention consisted of a provider-facing summary of guideline-directed indications for empiric and culture-directed uses of meropenem attached alongside the EHR order, and a required attestation button. To track meropenem order rates for adult patients prior to (Oct – Dec 2022) and after (Jan – Mar 2023) the intervention, the EHR was configured to fire a “silent” Best Practice Advisory behind-the-scenes when a provider opened the meropenem order. Rates of ordering were also monitored at other sites in MaineHealth, where the intervention was not implemented. The primary endpoint was the rate of “back-out” events, defined as a prescriber beginning a meropenem order but not signing it, and the secondary endpoint was the meropenem administration rate within 24 hours of opening an order. Results A meropenem order was initiated in 824 unique encounters during the study period; following the intervention at MMC, the back-out rate for orders increased from 20.3% (n =291) to 32.7% (n= 147, p = .01), while there was no significant difference during the same period at institutions where the intervention was not implemented (Table 1). The rate of patients who received meropenem within 24 hours following an order being opened decreased from 90.0% pre-intervention to 74.8% post-intervention (p < 0.01). Conclusion This study suggests that simple, non-resource intensive antimicrobial stewardship ‘nudges’ can simultaneously be implemented and monitored through creative EHR design, leading to a reduction in overall completion of meropenem orders and a decrease in inappropriate antibiotic prescribing. Similar interventions can be implemented in all fields of healthcare stewardship. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

A creative wide-frequency and large-amplitude vibration isolator design method based on magnetic negative stiffness and displacement amplification mechanism

Negative stiffness vibration isolation devices have attracted significant attention and research interest for their ability to enhance the low-frequency vibration isolation performance of passive vibration isolators. However, their narrow linear negative stiffness region has hindered their broader application. To address this limitation, a novel design method for vibration isolators is proposed, integrating the permanent magnetic negative stiffness device (NSD) with the displacement amplification mechanism (DAM). The paper begins by presenting a specific vibration isolator design method and analyzing the kinematic relationship. Next, a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) nonlinear equivalent model of the vibration isolator is established using the pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) approach. Numerical simulations are then conducted to obtain the transmissibility of the isolator. Furthermore, two isolators—one with the displacement amplification effect and another without—are manufactured, and experimental investigations are carried out. The experimental results confirm that the incorporation of the displacement amplification mechanism effectively expands the linear negative stiffness region of the negative stiffness magnet pair, enabling wide-frequency and large-amplitude vibration isolation. Notably, these experimental findings align well with the simulation results. In summary, this paper proposes a creative design method for wide frequency and large amplitude vibration isolators, and proves it through theoretical analysis and experimental validation.

Evaluating the Circular Economy Potential of Modular Construction in Developing Economies—A Life Cycle Assessment

Circular economy (CE) is an emergent concept that promotes resource circularity in multiple product systems. Modular construction (MC), an evolving construction technique, which includes an off-site manufacturing environment, increasingly supports CE strategies such as reuse due to the elevated potential for design for disassembly (DfD). Design-stage environmental assessments are paramount in aiding the early decision making of modular construction projects to successfully plan and implement DfD strategies. Research on synergising modular construction, circular economy and environmental sustainability is rare in developing economies. Thus, the current study aims to conduct a design-stage life cycle assessment of a DfD and linear versions of a modular building unit in Sri Lanka to evaluate the potential environmental benefits. The life cycle assessment results highlight that the DfD strategy has the lowest environmental impacts in all categories, with a 63% reduction in global warming potential and an approximately 90% reduction in terms of human toxicity compared to the linear version. Further, it showed the elevated potential of reuse compared to recycling practices in improving the environmental performance. Sensitivity assessment revealed that steel was the most sensitive to the change in reuse percentage among main building materials. The analysis outcomes highlight the importance of long-term thinking, architectural design creativity and industrial and technology development to uptake the CE-driven MC in the Sri Lankan context. Finally, strategies are proposed to support the CE approach in MC in developing regions. Both quantitative and qualitative outcomes provide a basis for construction industry stakeholders, academia, and policy makers to explore further and promote modular construction practices to enhance the circularity of building materials and components in developing regions.

A game-theoretic approach of cyberattack resilient constraint-following control for cyber–physical systems

Cyber–physical systems (CPSs) integrate network and physical components. The relevant network security issues have been receiving consistent attention. This paper considers cyber–physical systems whose control resilience is characterized by uncertainty, mechanical motion constraints, and exposure to cyber-attacks. To address these problems, this paper proposes a game-theoretic method based on constraint following theory where the moving trajectory requirements are considered as constraints. There can be adversary network environment which may launch cyberattacks and even deny providing service. With a creative control design, it is validated that the controlled system is resilient to cyberattack disturbance and other spoofing or mixed threat attacks. Three game rules, one non-cooperative game and two Stackelberg competitions, are adopted in this study to obtain the optimal control design parameter choice. It is proven that the optimal choice is the same from the three rules, thus making this optimal choice generic (i.e., nonspecific) and important. The superiority of the optimal control design parameter is demonstrated in simulations.
