Item Scale

The aim of this study was to critically evaluate and compare the different methods to assess overall hangover severity. Currently, there are three multi-item hangover scales that are commonly used for this purpose. All of them comprise a number of hangover symptoms for which an average score is calculated. These scales were compared to a single, 1-item scale assessing overall hangover severity. The results showed that the hangover symptom scales significantly underestimate (subjective) hangover severity, as assessed with a 1-item overall hangover severity scale. A possible reason for this could be that overall hangover severity varies, depending on the frequency of occurrence of individual symptoms included in the respective scale. In contrast, it can be assumed that, when completing a 1-item overall hangover scale, the rating includes all possible hangover symptoms and their impact on cognitive and physical functioning and mood, thus better reflecting the actually experienced hangover severity. On the other hand, solely relying on hangover symptom scales may yield false positives in subjects who report not having a hangover. When the average symptom score is greater than zero, this may lead to non-hungover subjects being categorized as having a hangover, as many of the somatic and psychological hangover symptoms may also be experienced without consuming alcohol (e.g., having a headache). Taken together, the current analyses suggest that a 1-item overall hangover score is superior to hangover symptom scales in accurately assessing overall hangover severity. We therefore recommend using a 1-item overall hangover rating as primary endpoint in future hangover studies that aim to assess overall hangover severity.

18575 Background: Following previous institutional observations,this protocol was designed to evaluate the efficacy of Gabapentin in the prophylaxis of delayed CT induced NV. Methods: The main elegibility criteria was moderate and severe NV on previous CT cycles.Gabapentin 300 mg caps. was given as follows: One capsule day -2, two capsules day -1 and one capsule tid from days 1 to 5. 24 pats. were evaluated; 22 (92%) female, 2 (8%) male.CT included Doxorubicin/Ciclofosfamide 15 (62.5%), Cis-Platin 5 (21%), Other regimens 4 (17%). Previous prophylaxis for all pats. included a 5-HT3 Antagonist plus Dexametasone. Pats. were instructed to complete a two-page Questionaire: On page 1 pats. indicated the intensity of nausea according a scale shown there. On page two they indicated the number of vomits they had.This was made three times daily for five days. The primary endpoint was reduction of NV aftyer CT. Results: The reduction observed in the number of vomits was as follows: Number of pats. that experienced 0 Vomits: day 1 (CT): 14 (58.3%); day 2: 18 (75%); day 3: 20 (83.3%); day 4: 18 (75%); day 5: 22 (91.7%). On the other hand, pats. that did not respond and had three or more vomits daily: day 1: 5 (20.8%); day 2: 2 (8.3%); day 3: 1 (4.2%); day 4: 3 (12.5%); day 5: 2 (8.3%).Most pats. experienced a decrease in the intensity of nausea as well. No significant side effects were seen. Conclusions: Gabapentin seems to have some efficacy preventing delayed NV after moderately and highly emetogenic CT. These results together with it’s possible effect on acute NV and good tolerability warrant further studies. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

The purpose of this study is to know the consistency and effectiveness of the instructions for the use of props to determine the area of the parallel ranks and the area of triangles for students of SD 6 Mataram. It is realized that the research was conducted during the COVID 19 pandemic, so that the media is designed to be a learning vedio that describes the use of props and operational guidelines narrated on the vedio. Based on the observations of 9 elementary school teachers as narrative practitioners of operational guidelines, it appears in accordance with the instructions for the use of such props. The subjects of this study were grade VI Mataram elementary school students as young as 3 grades. The evaluation results showed that the average score obtained from the three pairs of classes did not differ significantly at the level of significance of 5 % because it was obtained < ttabel = 2.0002. On the other hand, the completion obtained by students in each class in each region > 80%. This means that students are complete in learning about the area of genakang ranks and the area of triangle area with KKM = 70. On the other hand, the message is the same because the average score that each class gets for each region does not differ significantly. Thus the application of instructions for the use of props determines the formula of the area of the parallel range and the area of the triangle consistently and the use of effective props for students of SD 6 Mataram

El aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP) se ha posicionado en los últimos años como un referente de estrategias de aprendizaje activo en el ámbito educativo de las Ciencias de la Salud. Nos permite crear nuevos escenarios que se asemejen al futuro laboral de los estudiantes. Con este propósito, hemos aplicamos la metodología ABP en el diseño y evaluación de prácticas de laboratorio enmarcadas en el Ciclo Formativo de Grado Superior en Laboratorio Clínico y Biomédico, para favorecer la adquisición de conocimientos y alcanzar un aprendizaje significativo. Este estudio incluyó una muestra de 20 participantes que se agruparon en pequeños grupos de trabajo de 3-4 alumnos. Los alumnos realizaron cuatro prácticas de laboratorio, alternando la metodología tradicional y la ABP, resolviendo a su finalización un cuestionario para cada una de ellas, así como una encuesta de satisfacción sobre la metodología docente aplicada y el papel del profesor. Las respuestas recogidas con estos cuestionarios permitieron comparar la eficacia de ambas metodologías en la mejora de los resultados de los alumnos. Nuestros datos indican una mejoría en los resultados de los cuestionarios finales de todas las prácticas, obteniéndose en el peor de los casos una media de las notas 0.98 puntos mayor con la metodología ABP. No obstante, debido al bajo tamaño muestral, los resultados solo fueron estadísticamente significativos en una de las prácticas. Por otra parte, el 95% del alumnado consideró la metodología aplicada como motivadora. Por tanto, podemos concluir que la metodología ABP se sitúa como una alternativa adecuada y motivadora en la enseñanza de las Ciencias Biomédicas, dado que permite crear un ambiente colaborativo y acercar a los estudiantes a su futuro ámbito laboral. In recent years, problem-based learning (PBL) has become a reference for active teaching strategies in the field of Health Sciences Education. It allows us to create new scenarios that closely resemble the future working environment of students. To this end, we have applied the PBL methodology in the design and evaluation of laboratory practices framed in the Higher Degree Training Cycle in Clinical and Biomedical Laboratory to promote knowledge and achieve meaningful learning. This study included 20 students, which were divided into small workgroups (3-4 people each). They carried out four laboratory practices, alternating the traditional methodology and PBL, and answered an individual practice questionnaire and a survey on the applied teaching methodology and the role of the teacher. The responses collected were used to compare the effectiveness of both methodologies by improving the results of the students. Our data indicate an improvement in the final questionnaires of all practices performed with the PBL approach, obtaining in the worst case an average score of 0.98 points higher than the traditional one. However, due to the low sample level, the results were only statistically significant in one of the practices. On the other hand, 95% of students considered the methodology applied as motivating. On the other hand, 95% of students considered the methodology applied as motivating. Overall, we can conclude that the PBL methodology is an adequate and motivating alternative in Biomedical Sciences teaching since it creates a collaborative environment and brings students closer to their future professional environment.

Abstract   Thoracoscopic esophagectomy (TE) requires advanced surgical skills. Learning TE only through conventional on-the-job- training (OnJT) is difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a safe and efficient educational program to learn the procedure. In our department, cadaver surgical training (CST) has been used to learn our standard procedure of prone position TE. In this presentation, we describe the usefulness of CST as an education tool for the surgical training of TE. Methods Cadavers embalmed by Thiel fixation were used for the training. To be eligible, the trainee must possess the surgical skills to perform laparoscopic gastrectomy and have the motivation to perform TE. Our program included self-study and lectures and evaluating the trainee using our original manual and evaluation sheet. During the CST practice, one cadaver was assigned to each trainee, and the trainee experienced whole procedure both as the operator and the assistant. After the training, feedback was given using the same evaluation sheet. Results Ten surgeons were evaluated using the technical evaluation sheet (12 items, 5 points per item, total 60 points), the average of the total points increased from 23 to 43 points after the training. The item with largest increase and highest score after the training was “thoracic duct dissection” (1.8 to 4.0). The item “Left recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) dissection” was the worst in both pre- and post-training as the average score was only increased from 1.6 to 3.1. On the other hand, the item “Right RLN dissection” score showed a moderate change from 1.7 to 3.5. Conclusion CST for mastering the whole surgical procedure of TE was useful in terms of overall quality of the operative performance. On the other hand, it seemed to be insufficient for mastering the lymph node dissection around the left recurrent laryngeal nerve. Development of a comprehensive education program combined with learning the whole procedure by CST and repetition training for a highly difficult procedure by simulation is necessary.

Electropalatographic data on the frequency of occurrence of assimilatory processes in Catalan C1##C2 sequences, where ## is inserted at the boundary between two consecutive words, reveal that regressive place assimilations operate more often on C1 = /n/ than on C1 = /t/ and are triggered by /ɡ/ rather than by the labials /pbm/ and the voiceless velar stop /k/. Regressive manner assimilations involving nasality and laterality are facilitated by homorganicity between the two consecutive consonants and thus apply more frequently in the clusters /pmtntltʎ/, where C1 and C2 share the same labial or dentoalveolar place of articulation, than in the sequences /pntmkmkn/, where the two consonants are heterorganic; on the other hand, /k/ is less prone than /pt/ to become nasal when followed by /mn/. Place assimilatory processes apply more often for some speakers than for others, and their frequency of occurrence increases whenever C1 is embedded in a frequent or function word. The articulatory motivation for some of these place and manner assimilatory processes, and the extent to which they are complete or partial, are also investigated.

Background: Reflux occurs in 50% of healthy infants at some point. This is most often a physiological condition and does not require drug treatment. Various studies have shown that the use of drugs affecting gastric acidity (DAGAs) in infants is increasing. This entails disadvantages such as unnecessary exposure of infants to medication and their side effects and a higher cost to society. Objective: To get an image of the current practice in Flanders regarding diagnosis and treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) in infants and the associated use of DAGAs. To this end, we determined both parents’ and health care providers’ experiences and perceptions about these treatments. Method: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in April and May 2019. We developed a questionnaire for parents and three different questionnaires for health care providers (HCPs), including midwives, general practitioners, paediatricians and community pharmacists (CPs). The questionnaire for parents was only available through an online platform. HCPs were questioned face-to-face and through an online platform. Results: This study made clear that the counselling of children with GORD is multidisciplinary as the median number of counselling HCPs is 3 (interquartile range (IQR) = 2–4). 63% of the included 251 parents also seek support through online forums and groups. 60% of parents report that no physical tests were performed before DAGAs were prescribed and 39% of parents additionally state they perceived no effect of the prescribed DAGAs. Although parents reported to understand HCPs well (average score 7.4/10), satisfaction with care and information provision was scored lower (between 4.8 and 6.1/10). On the other hand, 234 HCPs answered the questionnaire, of which 89 midwives, 78 community pharmacists and 67 physicians. Only 45 HCPs indicate that guidelines to diagnose or treat GORD are clear. Physicians confirm they perform very little physical testing before starting DAGAs. Provided nonmedical measures to patients are largely in line with the European guidelines, however perceived effectiveness is moderate. Conclusion: Parents are in need for more information about tests, nutrition and (non)medical measures. HCPs on the other hand are in need for clear guidelines on diagnosing and treating GORD.

Drone attacks in Pakistani territory have been a subject of discussions and debates from a very long time. This study attempts to explore the treatment of drone attacks in editorials of elite Pakistani English press i.e. Dawn and The News. The study has three dimensions: frequency of occurrence, frames and placement. It was found that the Dawn published more editorials about drone attacks from 1st October 2012 till 31st March 2013. Unfavorable frame was the most frequently used frame to discuss drone attacks in the editorials of both national dailies. Moreover it was established that Dawn although published more editorials about drone attacks but sometimes this issue was also discussed in lead articles and editorial notes. On the other hand The News always discussed the issue of drone attacks in lead articles. It was concluded that both the newspapers gave significant coverage to the issue of drone attacks in their editorials. Most of the editorials were condemning America for violating the sovereignty of Pakistan thus presenting America in an unfavorable frame.

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.
