AbstractVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease that represents a growing public health concern. Identification of modifiable risk factors at the population level may provide a measure to reduce the burden of VTE. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of the role of physical activity on the risk of VTE and VTE-related complications. We also discuss methodological challenges related to research on physical activity, and put forward plausible mechanisms for an association between physical activity and VTE. Up to now, published studies have reported diverging results on the relationship between physical activity and VTE, and a complex picture has emerged. However, the available evidence appears to be balanced toward a small beneficial effect of physical activity on the risk of incident VTE, but not in a dose-dependent manner. Still, the lack of an operational definition and standardized assessment method for physical activity, as well as several sources of bias, impairs the interpretation of the available literature. Additional work is necessary to understand the role and how to apply physical activity in the VTE setting. Future research should utilize objective assessment strategies of physical activity and physical fitness, account for the fluctuating nature in habitual activity levels, and explore the role of physical activity in the areas of secondary prevention and VTE-related complications.

Objective: Assessment is an important for learning and teaching and is an important component for further development if they use the right approach. This study focuses primarily on how formative assessment, as a type of favorable assessment, can be an effective contributor to increasing student motivation in learning English. Method: This study explores the results of formative assessments through questionnaires for 24 students and 5 for teachers, in the SMA 1 Alla-Enrekang, where English is taught as a foreign language. Result: It is assumed that formative assessment has a major influence on what students learn and how the teacher validates. Discussion: Formative assessment can help teachers anticipate initial concerns for student disparity in the development of learning. Therefore, this assessment method cannot accurately assess the frequency of student acquisition, because it varies from one teacher to another and subjects with other subjects.

This chapter presents an objective assessment method of image quality using visual evoked potentials (VEPs) to image engineer field based on multi-disciplinarily approach such as knowledge of neurobiology, image recognition theory, or computer vision. The multi-disciplinarily based objective assessment method applies Gaussian scale-space filtering in order to define a scalar parameter to depict blur image. In the experiment, visual stimuli are provided by the scalar parameter, and subjects are detected using VEPs. Their VEPs are recoded during observation of the checkerboard pattern reversal (PR) stimuli, and are analyzed with a latency of about Negative 145 msec (N145) component. The result of the experiment was that latency of N145 components were long about10-20 msec when parameters were large vale (more blur). This result shows one example of availableness for the multi-disciplinarily based objective assessment of image quality by integrating the pattern reversal visual evoked potential (PR-VEP) and the scale-space theory.

Background. The equality of subjective- and objective-assessment methods in laparoscopic surgery are unknown. The aim of this study was to compare a subjective assessment method to an objective assessment method to evaluate laparoscopic skill. Methods. A prospective observational cohort study was conducted. Seventy-two residents completed a basic laparoscopic suturing task on a box trainer at two consecutive assessment points. Laparoscopic skill was rated subjectively using the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) list and objectively using the TrEndo, an augmented-reality simulator. Results. TrEndo scores between the two assessment points correlated. OSATS scores did not correlate between the two assessment points. There was a correlation between TrEndo and OSATS scores at the first assessment point, but not at the second assessment point. Overall, OSATS scores correlated with TrEndo scores. There was a greater spread within OSATS scores compared to TrEndo scores. Conclusion. OSATS scores correlated with TrEndo scores. The TrEndo may be more responsive at rating individual’s laparoscopic skill, as demonstrated by a smaller overall spread in TrEndo scores. The additional value of objective assessment methods over conventional assessment methods as provided by laparoscopic simulators should be investigated.

19634 Background: A symptom assessment is important to control the terminal cancer patients’ symptoms successfully and improve their quality of life. Our research team has developed the objective assessment method for the terminal patients’ symptoms and compared the results with the patient self-reported outcomes using Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale (MSAS). Methods: From September in 2004, the 121 inpatients without anti-cancer therapy in terminal stage of cancer were evaluated in Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital. The 17 common symptoms were graded as four categories; none(0), mild(1), moderate(2), and severe(3) with reference to NCI-CTC and WHO toxicity criteria. An attending physician assessed 17 symptoms at the similar hour every day. Among the inpatients, those who had clear consciousness and could communicate normally were investigated every week to evaluate the frequency and severity of common symptoms and their distress degree using MSAS. Results: Only 54 patients (44.6%) could be examined to evaluate the symptoms by MSAS. However, the symptoms estimated by our assessment tool were less serious in the terms of severity and distress degree than that patients felt actually. This tendency was shown more obviously in the mental symptoms; Drowsiness (p=0.0001), Nervousness (p=0.0001), and Anxiety (p=0.005). However, the physical symptoms had no statistical difference between the results from patients and physician. Conclusions: Patient-reported outcomes using MSAS could be obtained from 44.6% of the inpatients with terminal cancer every week. However, the objective assessment tool to evaluate the common symptoms of terminal cancer patients can be applied for all patients including the incommunicable, every day. Furthermore, this assessment tool may be more suitable for examining the physical symptoms of terminal cancer patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
