Web-based system for training and dissemination of a magnification chromoendoscopy classification

引用

World Journal of Gastroenterology 2008年第46期14卷 7086-7092页

作者： Mário Jorge Dinis-Ribeiro Ricardo Cruz Correia Cristina Santos Sónia Fernandes Ernesto Palhares Rui Almeida Silva pedro Amaro Miguel Areia Altamiro costa-Pereira Luis Moreira-Dias Gastroenterology Department Portuguese Oncology Institute Center for Research in Information Systems and Health Technologies (CINTESIS)/Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics Porto Faculty of Medicine Gastroenterology Department Coimbra University Hospital

AIM： To evaluate the use of web-based technologies to assess the learning curve and reassess reproducibility of a simplified version of a classification for gastric magnification chromoendoscopy （MC）. METHODS： As part of a multicenter trial, a hybrid approach was taken using a CD-ROM, with 20 films of MC lasting 5 s each and an ＂autorun＂ file triggering a local HTML frameset referenced to a remote questionnaire through an Internet connection. Three endoscopists were asked to prospectively and independently classify 10 of these films randomly selected with at least 3 d apart. The answers were centrally stored and returned to participants together with adequate feedback with the right answer. RESULTS： For classification in 3 groups, both intra- [Cohen＇s kappa （K） = 0.79-1.00 to 0.89-1.00] and inter-observer agreement increased from 1st （moderate） to 6th observation （k = 0.94）. Also, agreement with reference increased in the last observations （0.90, 1.00 and 1.00, for observers A, B and C, respectively）. Validity of 100% was obtained by all observers at their 4th observation. When a 4th （sub）group was considered, inter-observer agreement was almost perfect （K = 0.92） at 6th observation. The relation with reference clearly improved into K （0.93-1.00） and sensitivity （75%-100%） at their 6th observations. CONCLUSION： This MC classification seems to be easily explainable and learnable as shown by excellent intra- and inter-observer agreement, and improved agreement with reference. A web system such as the one used in this study may be useful for endoscopic or other image based diagnostic procedures with respect to definition, education and dissemination.

Physicians and Conflicts of Interest

引用

International Journal of Clinical Medicine 2014年第16期5卷 956-965页

作者： Deborah Pimentel Maria-Jesia Vieira Joao pedro Declerc FSNeves Manoel Juvenal da costa-Neto Lais costa Souza Oliveira Department of Medicine Universidade Federal de SergipeAracajuBrazil Universidade Tiradentes AracajuBrazil Postgraduate Program in Health Sciences Universidade Federal de SergipeAracajuBrazil Universidade Federal de Sergipe AracajuBrazil

In medical practice, the most commonly observed conflicts of interest are the ones existing in the relations between professionals and industries linked to health or between the former and health services. These relations are no longer a partnership in search of the best to be offered to patients and tend to take up a commercial role, in a seduction game where, each one, in their own manner, seeks benefits. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existence of these conflicts of interest, in an exploratory and qualitative study, with physician focal groups. The results were grouped in two categories: benefits received by physicians and the justifications provided by them for the establishment of these partnerships. The most common benefits are: percentages over orthoses and prosthetics received by the industry;discounts and credits on rent or condominium fees for exam indications and procedures;rewards offered by the pharmaceutical industry for the indication of their products. Physicians have pointed out as main determinants for ethical missteps that involve conflicts of interest, the character and family formation as well as the lack of denunciations. The fact that efficient and widespread laws for resolution of conflicts of interest do not exist makes it necessary to recognize their existence with mechanisms of management and transparency, perhaps as the only way to avoid negative interference in physician behavior.

Electric Modulus Analysis of Carbon Black/Copolymer Composite Materials

引用

Materials Sciences and Applications 2011年第10期2卷 1421-1426页

作者： Mohamed El Hasnaoui Manuel pedro Fernanades Graca Mohammed Essaid Achour Luis Cadillon costa Laboratoire LASTID Departement de PhysiqueFaculte des SciencesUniversite Ibn TofailKenitraMorocco I3N and Physics Department University of AveiroAveiroPortugal

We have investigated the electrical properties of carbon black (CB) loaded in ethylene butylacrylate copolymer composite (EBA) in the frequency range between 102 and 104 Hz and temperature range between 153 and 353 K. The frequency dependence of electrical data that have been analyzed in two frameworks: the electrical modulus formalism with the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts stretched exponential function (KWW) and the electrical conductivity by using the Jonscher’s power law in the frequency domain. The stretching exponent βKWW and n are found to be temperature independent for all CB fractions and to be decreased when the CB volume concentrations loaded in copolymer matrix increases. It is found that the activation energy obtained by the modulus method is in good agreement with that obtained by the DC conductivity in the power law which is independent on the CB contents that exist in the copolymer matrix, suggesting that these particles do not interact significantly with the chain segments of the macromolecules in the EBA copolymer.
