Background: Gestational hypertensive disorders and diabetes are well-known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes later in life. However, there were few researches to evaluate the association between family history of cardiovascular disease and the occurrence of pregnancy-related medical disorders. We aimed to investigate whether family history of CVD could predict gestational hypertensive disorders and diabetes. Methods: The Korean Nurses’ Survey was conducted through web-based computer-assisted self-administered questionnaires, which were compiled by consultation to cardiologists, gynecologists, and statisticians, from October to December 2011. We enrolled a total of 9,989 female registered nurses who could answer reliably the questionnaires based on their medical knowledge. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to clarify the effect of family history of CVD on pregnancy-related medical disorders. Result: In this survey, 3900 subjects had more than 1 pregnancy. Among them, 247 interviewees (6.3%) had experienced hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, which included preeclampsia (n = 160, 4.1%) and transient hypertension (n = 144, 3.7%), and 120 (3.1%) had experienced gestational diabetes. And, 2872 subjects (73.6%) answered that they had at least 1 family history of CVD. Having family history of CVD increased the risk of gestational hypertensive disorders (adjusted RR 1.51, 95% CI 1.08-2.11, p = 0.015) and diabetes (adjusted RR 2.40, 95% CI 1.38-4.17, p = 0.002). In particular, family history of hypertension was significantly associated with gestational hypertensive disorders (adjusted RR 2.00, 95% CI 1.47-2.50, p <0.001), and diabetes was highly related with gestational diabetes (adjusted RR 3.37, 95% CI 2.35-4.83, p <0.001), respectively. Furthermore, this relationship was observed regardless of maternal parity. Conclusion: Family history of CVD was a significant predictor of pregnancy-related medical disorders in this survey. Meticulous history taking for family history of CVD can provide the risk of gestational hypertensive disease and diabetes. Thus, special attention should be paid to women with family history of CVD during pregnancy.

This chapter explains the developmental reasons and design to implementation cycles of the Computer Assisted Active Learning System (CALS) for History of Civilization (HOC) courses at Engineering Faculty of Bahcesehir University. Implementation purpose of CALS is to develop set of tools in a systematic way to enhance students’ critical thinking abilities for HOC courses. Dynamic meta-cognitive maps, movies, flash cards and quiz tools were developed. In order to reduce implementation costs of CALS, open Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) standards and platforms were utilized in the development and implementation cycles. This study also investigates the importance of the e-learning platform usage in HOC courses in Engineering Faculty of Bahcesehir University to improve the level of students. Results indicate that the concept based meta-cognitive tool improves learning instead of students just memorizing the class material. Also, engineering students improved their positive attitude towards who wants to learn the history of civilization by using CALS. This study shows that software helps to change human behavior in the learning cycle. This chapter highlights the implications of successful development of FOSS for the CALS.

ObjectivesTo examine the lifetime, 5-year and past-year prevalence of homelessness among European citizens in eight European nations.DesignA nationally representative telephone survey using trained bilingual interviewers and computer-assisted telephone interview software.SettingThe study was conducted in France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.ParticipantsEuropean adult citizens, selected from opt-in panels from March to December 2017. Total desired sample size was 5600, with 700 per country. Expected response rates of approximately 30% led to initial sample sizes of 2500 per country.Main outcome measuresHistory of homelessness was assessed for lifetime, past 5 years and past year. Sociodemographic data were collected to assess correlates of homelessness prevalence using generalised linear models for clustered and weighted samples.ResultsResponse rates ranged from 30.4% to 33.5% (n=5631). Homelessness prevalence was 4.96% for lifetime (95% CI 4.39% to 5.59%), 1.92% in the past 5 years (95% CI 1.57% to 2.33%) and 0.71% for the past year (95% CI 0.51% to 0.98%) and varied significantly between countries (pairwise comparison difference test, p<0.0001). Time spent homeless ranged between less than a week (21%) and more than a year (18%), with high contrasts between countries (p<0.0001). Male gender, age 45–54, lower secondary education, single status, unemployment and an urban environment were all independently strongly associated with lifetime homelessness (all OR >1.5).ConclusionsThe prevalence of homelessness among the surveyed nations is significantly higher than might be expected from point-in-time and homeless service use statistics. There was substantial variation in estimated prevalence across the eight nations. Coupled with the well-established health impacts of homelessness, medical professionals need to be aware of the increased health risks of those with experience of homelessness. These findings support policies aiming to improve health services for people exposed to homelessness.

Thirteen patients with a history of confirmed liver carcinoma were given either I131 goat polyclonal or murine monoclonal antibodies against alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and then scanned with a gamma camera. In order to reduce background, nontarget activity, especially in the liver, blood pool, and reticuloendothelial system, 99mTc imaging agents were used for tumor image enhancement by computer-assisted subtraction. A sensitivity of 91% for the primary site, 50% for the lungs (33% for the chest area), and 75% for the abdomen and pelvis was achieved, with a specificity of 100%, 94%, and 100% for these sites, respectively. The accuracy was determined to be 93% for the liver, 86% for the lungs (77% for the chest), and 85% for the abdominal and pelvic area, resulting in an overall accuracy rate for imaging primary and metastatic hepatocellular cancer of 84% (90% if bone metastases are excluded). In two of the 13 patients, lesions that had been missed by conventional liver scintigraphy and transmission computed tomography (CT) were first shown by radioimmunodetection (RAID).

Background: Condoms offer the most realistic and available protection against sexually transmissible infections (STIs), including HIV infection. The protective benefits of condoms are, however, compromised by breaks and tears. The objective of the present study was to examine condom failure and associated behavioural risk factors among men at high-risk for HIV transmission in South Africa. Methods: Men (n = 431) receiving STI treatment services at a public clinic completed computer assisted interviews and STI clinic chart abstraction over a 1-year observation period. Results: One in three male STI clinic patients reported a history of condom failure. Condom failure was associated with sexual exchange, alcohol and other drug use, and higher rates of unprotected vaginal intercourse. Men with a history of condom failure were significantly more likely to have an STI diagnosis 1 month before the baseline interview and were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with an STI over the subsequent year. Conclusion: Condom failures are common among STI clinic patients and pose a threat for increased HIV transmission risks.

AbstractObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of food insecurity and factors related to it among homeless and runaway adolescents.DesignComputer-assisted personal interviews were conducted with homeless and runaway adolescents directly on the streets and in shelters.SettingInterviews were conducted in eight Midwest cities: Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Kansas City, Lincoln, Omaha, St. Louis and Wichita.SubjectsThe subjects were 428 (187 males; 241 females) homeless and runaway adolescents aged 16–19 years. Average age of the adolescents was 17.4 (standard deviation 1.05) years.ResultsAbout one-third of the adolescents had experienced food insecurity in the past 30 days. Factors associated with food insecurity were age of adolescent, a history of caretaker neglect and abuse, having ever spent time directly on the street, a small post-runaway social network, and engaging in deviant and non-deviant street food-acquisition strategies.ConclusionsBased on these findings, our conservative estimate is that nationally more than 165 000 homeless and runaway adolescents experienced food insecurity in the past 30 days. These adolescents are largely hidden from public notice and they are usually missed in studies that address national hunger.

AbstractInterpreting the social meaning of polity center architecture opens a window onto the organization and history of the society responsible for its construction. Our research is designed to examine the form, function, and organization of Copan's Acropolis architecture. Through a unique program of tunneling, surface excavation, and architectural recording, more than 400 years of monumental architecture (c. A.D. 400–800) are being documented and analyzed to comprehend the evolution of the Acropolis and its role in the Copan polity. The dramatic erosion cut through the eastern Acropolis edge allows ready access to all major construction levels and presents a rare opportunity for extensive exposure of superimposed architectural plans. Our tunneling excavation methods provide a more complete, less destructive, and more efficient means of such documentation. Exposed architecture is being recorded by a computer-assisted mapping program, its first application to the sequential development of Classic Maya architecture, and its first use in tunnel excavations. As a result, our research is documenting the architectural transformation of the Acropolis during the time of Copan's increasing sociopolitical complexity and is doing so at a level of detail impossible to achieve by most projects using traditional archaeological techniques. The correspondence between architectural data and data sets from epigraphy, iconography, and settlement survey is being evaluated in light of current discussion on the political and economic trajectory of Copan in particular, and in general, the architectural expression of political power and integration in complex societies.
