Children’s cognitive function and mental health based on finite element nonlinear mathematical model

This article uses a finite element nonlinear mathematical model to analyse the psychological conditions of children with certain physical defects. The thesis uses exercise and psychological intervention to intervene in children with material defects and scores the children’s mental state and cognitive status after the intervention. After our training and psychological intervention, the study found that the psychological evaluation scores of children with physical defects increased significantly. Before and after the intervention, there are apparent differences in children’s cognition in vocabulary and arithmetic. There is a nonlinear negative correlation between children’s cognitive abilities with physical defects and the scores of mental health status and neuropsychological evaluation. For this reason, the study concluded that movement and psychological intervention play a significant role in improving the cognitive function of children with physical defects.

Custom made ocular prosthesis: A case report

Physical defects that compromise appearance or function, which prevent an individual from leading a normal life, usually prompt the individual to seek treatment that will reinstate acceptable normalcy. The loss of an eye impairs the patient’s visual function, yet also results in a noticeable deformity. Prosthesis should be provided as soon as possible to raise the spirits and ease the mind of the afflicted. An ocular prosthesis is a maxillofacial prosthesis that artificially replaces an eye missing as a result of trauma, surgery, or congenital absence. A custom ocular prosthesis has advantage of close adaptation to the tissue bed, provides maximum comfort and restores full physiological function to the accessory organs of the eye.

Appearance and Essence: Speaking the Truth about the Body in the Early Modern Catholic Church

This chapter explores notions of truth regarding the human body articulated in the early modern Catholic community. It uses records of dispensation procedures for so-called physical defects in the clergy to show how different actors claimed authority to establish evidence about individuals’ bodily characteristics such as impairments or diseases. The chapter argues that we should distinguish two major patterns of establishing evidence, one focusing on appearance, the other attempting to uncover an essence lying behind the openly visible. In using these different modes situationally, the Church accommodated diverging claims in practice and gained flexibility in decision-making.

874. Pseudo-outbreak of Adenovirus in Bronchoscopy Suite

Background Adenoviruses (Adv) are non-enveloped viruses that can survive for long periods on environmental surfaces. However, only 1 prior publication describes an adenovirus pseudo-outbreak associated with bronchoscopes. In 1/ 2020 infectious disease physicians noted a cluster of Adv PCR-positive bronchiolar lavage (BAL) samples, which prompted an outbreak investigation. Methods We reviewed medical charts, clinical microbiology, procedure logs, bronchoscope reprocessing logs, bronchoscope cleaning, and high-level disinfection (HLD) practices. Results On 1/28/20 an infectious diseases physician alerted infection prevention to a cluster of 5 lung transplant patients diagnosed with Adv positive BAL samples. Four out of the 5 patients had the bronchoscopy in the same bronchoscopy suite. We reviewed BAL results from all bronchoscopies performed in this suite from 11/1/19 to 1/24/20 and found a total of 10 patients with positive Adv PCR results. Eight out of the 10 patients had bronchoscopies with one of two bronchoscopes. Of all patients who had a bronchoscopy with the bronchoscope from 11/1/19 to 1/24/20 and had respiratory viral panel sent at that time, 6 of 11 (55%) who underwent procedure with Scope A and 4 of 24 (17%) who underwent procedure with Scope B had positive Adv PCR results. Sham BALs were performed on both bronchoscopes and testing for Adv was negative. However, on inspection by the manufacturer, one scope failed both wet and dry leak tests and had several physical defects. Following removal of both bronchoscopes from service we did not find any positive Adv samples from the bronchoscopy unit. Conclusion Previously, very few pseudo-outbreaks of Adv have been linked to bronchoscopes. We identified a pseudo-outbreak of Adv associated with 2 bronchoscopes in a hospital-based bronchoscopy suite that stopped once we removed the associated bronchoscopes from the procedural unit. Bronchoscopy-related pseudo-outbreaks occur despite standardized procedures for HLD. Bronchoscopy clinics, particularly those with a high volume of immunocompromised patients, should prospectively review BAL cultures to identify unusual pathogen trends. These trends may be a sign of damaged equipment that would otherwise go undetected. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Social Failure Modes in Technology and the Ethics of AI

This chapter argues that, just as technological artefacts can break as a result of mechanical, electrical, or other physical defects not fully accounted for in their design, they can also break as a result of social defects not fully accounted for in their design. These failures resulting from social defects can be called social failures. The chapter then proposes a definition of social failure as well as a taxonomy of social failure modes—the underlying causes that lead to social failures. An explicit and detailed understanding of social failure modes, if properly applied in engineering design practice, could result in a fuller evaluation of the social and ethical implications of technology, either during the upstream design and engineering phases of a product, or after its release. Ideally, studying social failure modes will improve people’s ability to anticipate and reduce the rate or severity of undesirable social failures prior to releasing technology into the wild.

Premature ovarian insufficiency in the XO female mouse on the C57BL/6J genetic background

In humans, all but 1% of monosomy 45.X embryos die in utero and those who reach term suffer from congenital abnormalities and infertility termed Turner’s syndrome (TS). By contrast, XO female mice on various genetic backgrounds show much milder physical defects and normal fertility, diminishing their value as an animal model for studying the infertility of TS patients. In this article, we report that XO mice on the C57BL/6J (B6) genetic background showed early oocyte loss, infertility or subfertility and high embryonic lethality, suggesting that the effect of monosomy X in the female germline may be shared between mice and humans. First, we generated XO mice on either a mixed N2(C3H.B6) or B6 genetic background and compared the number of oocytes in neonatal ovaries; N2.XO females retained 45% of the number of oocytes in N2.XX females, whereas B6.XO females retained only 15% of that in B6.XX females. Second, while N2.XO females were as fertile as N2.XX females, both the frequency of delivery and the total number of pups delivered by B6.XO females were significantly lower than those by B6.XX females. Third, after mating with B6 males, both N2.XO and B6.XO females rarely produced XO pups carrying paternal X chromosomes, although a larger percentage of embryos was found to be XO before implantation. Furthermore, B6.XO females delivered 20% XO pups among female progeny after mating with C3H males. We conclude that the impact of monosomy X on female mouse fertility depends on the genetic background.

TABOO AVOIDANCES IN KARO LANGUAGE

Civilized society like Karo knows taboo culture and how to avoid it well, so that they can be avoided from social conflict and can live peacefully. However, taboo in language and the way to avoid them are considered increasingly scarce as globalization develops among the current millennial generation. As an effort to provide an understanding about the matter concerned towards future generations, this study describes various ways of avoiding the three types of taboo in Karo: taboo in kinship, i.e. among bengkila and permain, turangku and turangku, and mami and kela; context-specific taboos, i.e. words derived from non-taboo words, and words related to social and physical defects; and general taboos, i.e. swearing and unmentionable words. This research was conducted using descriptive qualitative with ethnographic method. The data were obtained from the key informants who were from indigenous people of Tanah Karo Regency. It is found that taboos in kinship can be avoided by strategy of third-person intermediary, strategy of metaphor through object, and strategy of using the word nina. Context-specific taboo and general taboo can be avoided by various forms of euphemism. However, taboo of swearing type does not have form of refinement because of its purpose and function as emotive expression.
