Using Clinical Vignettes and a Modified Expert Delphi Panel to Determine Parameters for Identifying Non-Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury in Health Administrative and Electronic Medical Record Databases

ObjectiveTo obtain expert consensus on the parameters and etiologic conditions required to retrospectively identify cases of non-traumatic spinal cord injury (NTSCI) in health administrative and electronic medical record (EMR) databases based on the rating of clinical vignettes. DesignA modified Delphi process included 2 survey rounds and 1 remote consensus panel. The surveys required the rating of clinical vignettes, developed after chart reviews and expert consultation. Experts who participated in survey rounds were invited to participate in the Delphi Consensus Panel. SettingAn international collaboration using an online meeting platform. ParticipantsThirty-one expert physicians and/or clinical researchers in the field of spinal cord injury (SCI). Main Outcome Measure(s)Agreement on clinical vignettes as NTSCI. Parameters to classify cases of NTSCI in health administrative and EMR databases. ResultsIn health administrative and EMR databases, cauda equina syndromes should be considered SCI and classified as a NTSCI or TSCI based on the mechanism of injury. A traumatic event needs to be listed for injury to be considered TSCI. To be classified as NTSCI, neurologic sufficient impairments (motor, sensory, bowel, and bladder) are required, in addition to an etiology. It is possible to have both a NTSCI and a TSCI, as well as a recovered NTSCI. If information is unavailable or missing in health administrative and EMR databases, the case may be listed as “unclassifiable” depending on the purpose of the research study. ConclusionThe Delphi panel provided guidelines to appropriately classify cases of NTSCI in health administrative and EMR databases.

Evaluation of an experiential clinical learning option during pandemic teaching suspensions

BackgroundAs students’ direct patient contact was suspended because of COVID-19-related restrictions, we revised our clinical addiction medicine curriculum for students to learn about the different multidisciplinary clinical models delivered at our hospital and in community settings. Our aim was to provide an overview of clinical modalities and familiarize learners with clinician and patient experiential perspectives.MethodsWe implemented a multi-pronged approach, offering an overview of clinical care programs through remote panels involving care providers at the clinics where students had previously been scheduled for in-person rotations. This included inpatient and office-based addiction services, addiction treatment program for adolescents and young adults, integrated addiction care and HIV primary care clinic, and opioid use urgent care clinic. Beyond having them join outpatient telehealth clinic visits, students also participated in an online panel involving patients in recovery to gain familiarity with their care perspectives; and joined a panel with recovery coaches to get further insights into patient challenges in clinical settings. Students further participated in remote opioid treatment trainings and observed clinical rounds of inpatient addiction consults and adolescent clinic team meetings.ResultsWith this revised curriculum, students learned about the variety of clinical modalities at the height of our hospital’s COVID-19 pandemic burden. The evaluation suggested that students appreciated the authenticity of accounts from patients and providers about their challenges and satisfaction related to clinical care. While in a remote learning setting, students overall wished for more personal interaction with patients and providers. They also noted a lack of group cohesion and connection that they felt would otherwise have been met in an in-person program.ConclusionsRemote learning allowed our program to connect trainees to the multidisciplinary field of addiction medicine despite the COVID-19 pandemic. In future program iterations, we will consider hybrid formats of in-person learning experiences with direct patient and faculty contact where possible, combined with online provider and patient panels possibly, in addition to virtual breakout formats to facilitate more personal student-patient and student-faculty interactions.

Using virtualized multimedia tools for video conferencing solution integrated in teaching and learning environment

Interactive display panels are one of the most widely used display systems today in delivering high-quality teaching and learning experiences to the students and faculties around the globe as several hardware and software tools can be integrated with these interactive display panels so that more efficiency and interactivity can be done on these panels. In this research work, we are more focused on how we can securely manage these interactive display panels in teaching and learning environments and provide an integrated solution for the academic environment to protect these systems that are integrated with video conferencing solutions. The architectural design of the system and the integrated solutions, along with video conferencing capabilities in the teaching environment, need to be secure and should not be accessible to the intruders during teaching and learning. Hyper-convergence infrastructure provides a virtualization environment that can be used by the stakeholders for providing infrastructural elements like different operating systems for the teaching and learning environment. Video conferencing solutions can be deployed on different virtualization environments using hyper-convergence technology that can be accessed over the remote interactive display panels as per the request of the stakeholder who is using the interactive display panel in the classrooms and meeting rooms. Securing this hyper-converged infrastructure is important which can be achieved through virtualization technology. If one system is down, the entire teaching and learning environment can run without any latency in executing the teaching and meetings in the organization.

Remote-control of multi appliances based latching circuit and DTMF

There are multiple technologies used to remotely control electric appliances like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, global system for mobile (GSM), and dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF), but these technologies contain limitations, whether by coverage distance or by the number of devices that are controlled remotely. In this paper, these restrictions were overcome with the use of DTMF and digital latching devices, which doubles the number of remote-controlled electrical appliances compared to other research using the same intended technology DTMF. Using the proposed mechanism in this paper enables the users to effectively control several electric remote devices equal to the standard number of mobile keypad buttons, so in this way, can control 12 devices. This is via the mobile phone by sending commands in the form of analog tones through calling to auto-answer remote control panel phone (RCPP). An interesting feature of this research, each keypad key of the owner mobile (OM) using to control one remote electric device to switch it ON or OFF, so that the first pressing will cause to switch it ON and the second pressing caused to switching it OFF. This method is used instead of using two keypad keys, one for ON and the other for OFF. The proposed idea working is the same as manually switching but here remotely and electronically. This feature is achieved by using a D-latch digital circuit. The work is implemented and tested by using Proteus simulation program.

Remote-controlled cholangiography injection device: first clinical study in China

BackgroundX-ray cholangiography is of great value in the imaging of biliary tract diseases; however, occupational radiation exposure is unavoidable. Moreover, clinicians must manually inject the contrast dye, which may result in a relatively high incidence of adverse reactions due to unstable injection pressure. Thus, there is a need to develop a novel remote-controlled cholangiography injection device.MethodsPatients with external biliary drainage requiring cholangiography were included. A remote-controlled injection device was developed with three major components: an injection pump, a pressure sensor, and a wireless remote-control panel. Image quality, adverse reactions, and radiation dose were evaluated.ResultsDifferent kinds of X-ray cholangiography were successfully and smoothly performed using this remote-controlled injection device in all patients. The incidence of adverse reactions in the device group was significantly lower than that in the manual group (4.17% vs. 13.9%, P = 0.001), and increasing the injection pressure increased the incidence of adverse reactions. In addition, the device helped operators avoid ionizing radiation completely.ConclusionsWith good control of injection pressure (within 10 kPa), the remote-controlled cholangiography injection device could replace the need for the doctor to inject contrast agent with good security and effectivity. It is expected to be submitted for clinical application.

On-Grid solar microgrid temperature monitoring and assessment in real time

Remote solar panel temperature monitoring in micro-grid has been proposed. A three-phase voltage source converter (VSC) type inverter has been employed for conditioning the input power from solar photovoltaic arrays. The three-phase inverter's output was linked to a transformer and a high-voltage grid bus before being distributed to different load ends. The inverter's output currents were recorded and evaluated. At typical operating circumstances, subharmonics, DC components, and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of inverter secondary currents were measured. Then, at various temperature levels, wavelet decomposition, i.e., skewness and kurtosis on line currents, was estimated. At various decomposition levels, detailed and approximate coefficients were produced, and their skewness and kurtosis values were used to examine the nature of these coefficients. Different modelling approaches have been used to extract distinct aspects for evaluating temperature impacts on solar panels and remote monitoring of microgrids.

Thermal regime of the local working zone in the industrial premises under radiant heating conditions

The results of experimental studies on recording temperatures and heat fluxes for the local working zone in industrial premises under radiant heating conditions and supply and exhaust ventilation operation are presented. The characteristics are measured on the surface of the horizontal remote panel directly under the radiator and along the wall with the ventilation inlet. Experimental results show that mixed convection caused by the operation of air exchange systems leads to mixing of air masses and more intensive cooling of the horizontal panel surface, as well as air, compared to the natural convection regime.

Modeling and design of an re-configurable isolated remote for plasma experiments with hard-real-time synchronization

The purpose of this paper is to present the design and implementation of a reconfigurable remote control for performing plasma experiments with Hard-Real-Time (HRT) synchronization under jitter less than 1 microsecond. An additional requirement for a multichannel synchronization system is the use of high-speed optical converters to provide galvanic isolation between powerful modules of the setup and remote control in order to exclude any possibility of disruption of the physical experiment control system. Modeling and development of the software part of the maser remote control panel was performed in the LabVIEW application development environment with Real Time and FPGA modules. The hardware part of the control panel is implemented on a real-time controller working in conjunction with the Xilinx FPGA module. To ensure the optical isolation of synchronization signals, boards of electron-optical converters based on LED lasers with fiber-optic terminals were developed and manufactured. The control program is implemented in a two-module architecture with a HOST application and an FPGA application that exchange data over a 1000BASE-T Ethernet network.

Three-dimensional inhomogeneous thermal fields of the “Photon-Amur 2.0” payload electronic board developed for nanosatellites

The thermal fields of the Photon-Amur 2.0 payload electronic board developed for nanosatellites were studied. The Photon-Amur 2.0 payload consists of an electronic control board with a casing mounted in a nanosatellite and a remote panel with experimental photovoltaic converters. A modified heat balance method was used for numerical simulation of the thermal fields of the control board and the casing. The constructed model and the obtained results of the numerical simulation were verified by comparison with the thermal diagrams obtained for the Photon-Amur 2.0 electronic board under normal operating conditions. For modeling the outer space operating conditions, it was assumed that there is a vacuum outside and inside the Photon-Amur 2.0 casing, and the thermal effect is transmitted from the nanosatellite racks to the payload electronic board through the fastenings. The thermal effect is of a periodic nature with amplitude of 45 to +80○C and a period of 96 min, which approximately corresponds to the motion of a nanosatellite in a 575 km-high orbit. It was demonstrated that with such composition of the payload module, its casing can work as a passive thermoregulator of thermal fields on the electronic board of Photon-Amur 2.0. The simulation showed that the casing helps to keep the temperature on the control board in the interval of 15C to +85C, which is acceptable for the electronic components used on the payload control board.

EVALUATION OF ENGINEERING STRUCTURES DEFORMATION (ACCURACY)

The construction of the model of accuracy of the measuring processes of the automated monitoring system of engineering structures deformations from the point of the theory of accuracy is considered in the article. From the point of view of the generalization of the accuracy of measurements by the automated system of engineering structures monitoring, the construction of the model of the measuring process is considered, resulting in separate characteristics and properties of the object to be investigated. In this case these are values of deformations of engineering constructions' structures. The brief acquaintance with the automated system of monitoring of engineering structures deformations, which represents a chain of optoelectronic devices-deformation marks, which are installed on constructions of structures and fix the created line is given. The use of this system allows to solve the problem of the preventive assessment of the dynamics of local technogenic deformation in the engineering structure and thus to increase the level of technogenic safety of the personnel of the engineering structure. Compared with modern well-known methods and means for determining the engineering structures deformation, an automated deformation monitoring system has the following advantages: 1. Cross-section geodetic control of deformations (position) of elements of the full volume of engineering structure with increased accuracy. 2. Automated control of engineering structures deformations in real time, including in limited or inaccessible for visual measurements places. 3. Control of the technogenic safety of the engineering structure, prediction of the moment of the emergency, warning about the upcoming critical state (moment) of the engineering structure in real time with the accurate definition of a certain area. 4. Installation of the entire monitoring system occurs during the construction of the structure, pre-installation sites of optoelectronic devices - deformation marks are agreed with the designers and architects. 5. The mean square error of measurement of relative deviations of deformations is not less than 0,1-0,5 mm at distances between optoelectronic devices up to 10 m. 6. Information on the magnitude of deviations from the nominal (initial) position goes to the remote central control panel of the system in real time scale. 7. In the case of upcoming moment of dangerous deviation (deformation), the command from the main control panel receives a signal for rapid response with the accurate designation of the place of dangerous deformation.
