    In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, SAGE Publications, Vol. 47, No. 19 ( 2003-10), p. 2074-2078
    Abstract: The present study describes a Virtual Environment (VE) designed to train individuals to perform the role of a military checkpoint guard. Participants stood guard at a fictitious base in which simulated drivers in vehicles would approach seeking entrance. Participants were asked to inspect each vehicle, interact with the drivers, verify their identification, and make a decision to allow the driver to enter the base, to detain the vehicle, or to ask the driver to turn around and leave. The experiment was conducted in a CAVE™ with stereoscopic visual and auditory displays, participant tracking, and voice recognition. The results showed that participants were able to learn quite effectively in the VE with the biggest performance improvements seen in the areas of proper protocol and social influence. These findings suggest that VE technology holds promise for activities that are more like experience-based training and which place a greater emphasis on social interaction skills.

    Abstract: To determine the proportion of emergency department (ED) patients who have been tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and assess if patient history of HIV testing varies according to patient demographic characteristics. Design From July 2005–July 2006, a random sample of 18–55-year-old English-speaking patients being treated for sub-critical injury or illness at a northeastern US ED were interviewed on their history of HIV testing. Logistic regression models were created to compare patients by their history of being tested for HIV according to their demography. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated. Results Of 2107 patients surveyed who were not known to be HIV-infected, the median age was 32 years; 54% were male, 71% were white, and 45% were single/never married; 49% had private health-care insurance and 45% had never been tested for HIV. Of the 946 never previously tested for HIV, 56.1% did not consider themselves at risk for HIV In multivariable logistic regression analyses, those less likely to have been HIV tested were male (OR: 1.32 [1.37–2.73]), white (OR: 1.93 [1.37–2.73] ), married (OR: 1.53 [1.12–2.08]), and had private health-care insurance (OR: 2.10 [1.69–2.61] ). There was a U-shaped relationship between age and history of being tested for HIV; younger and older patients were less likely to have been tested. History of HIV testing and years of formal education were not related. Conclusion Almost half of ED patients surveyed had never been tested for HIV. Certain demographic groups are being missed though HIV diagnostic testing and screening programmes in other settings. These groups could potentially be reached through universal screening.

    Abstract: Many different, intersecting strategies are available for managing germ-cell cancers, particularly in early-stage disease. Which is ‘right’ remains a matter of debate, and requires balancing efficacy against late effects, bearing in mind the complexity of treatment strategies and the available expertise.

    In: Journal of Drug Education, SAGE Publications, Vol. 42, No. 1 ( 2012-03), p. 13-32
    Abstract: Alcohol expectancies and drinking motives were compared for regular education students ( n = 159) and students with emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD) receiving special education services ( n = 51). Differences existed between groups with respect to expected negative social consequences and emotional and physical outcomes associated with drinking. Across groups, drinkers reported more positive alcohol expectancies than non-drinkers, while non-drinkers reported more negative alcohol expectancies than drinkers. Differences also existed between the regular education and EBD students who drank with respect to coping, conformity, and social motives. Accounting for sample sizes differences, the relationship between alcohol use and negative physical effect was stronger for regular education students, while the relationship between alcohol use and conformity motives was stronger for the EBD group.

    Retroperitoneal Surgery in the Treatment of Germ-Cell Tumors of the Testis: Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection (RPLND)
    SAGE Publications ; 2010

    Abstract: Germ-cell tumors of the testis (GCTT) are rare, but have a high social impact. In fact they represent no more than 1% of male tumors (about 700 new cases per year in Italy), but electively occur in young patients, 20 to 40 years old, during their fully mature social and working life. More than 80% of patients are cured and return to a normal social, sexual, and working life. Improvements achieved both in diagnosis, with the use of scans (CT, MRI, US and recently PET) and of serum tumor markers alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), beta-fraction of human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and mainly in treatment, through the amelioration of radiotherapy and surgical techniques and, especially, with the introduction of Cisplatin, Etoposide and Ifosfamide in Chemotherapic regimens, have made germ-cell tumor a model of “curable disease”. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) has indications in patients with clinical stage I (CS1) as well as in advanced disease, where it is integrated in the multimodality treatment. Anatomical studies, as well as a long-term experience, have gradually but consistently modified the surgical techniques of RPLND. Currently, “nerve sparing” RPLND represents a safe management of CS1 nonseminomatous germ cell testicular tumor with minimal morbidity and excellent outcomes. Nonetheless, surveillance and adjuvant chemotherapy are as effective as RPLND, but, in our opinion, associated with some discomforts for the patients. Laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (Lap-RPLND) is gaining popularity as a minimally invasive staging procedure for clinical stage I nonseminomatous testicular carcinoma, but its therapeutic role is still under investigation.

    Predictors of Mortality, Morbidity, and Disability in a Cohort of Infants ≤ 28 Weeks' Gestation
    SAGE Publications ; 1993

    In: Clinical Pediatrics, SAGE Publications, Vol. 32, No. 9 ( 1993-09), p. 521-527
    Abstract: This study attempted to identify predictors for mortality, morbidity, disability, and educational handicap at age 4 years in a cohort of 194 infants born at 23 to 28 weeks' gestation at one regionalized tertiary center from 1983 to 1986. Forty-one infants died (21%); standardized neurodevelopmental and functional assessments were conducted on 149 of 153 (97%) survivors at a mean age of 52 months. Five significant predictors of death were identified with logistic regression analysis: gestational age 23 to 26 weeks, intraventricular hemorrhage grades 3 or 4, male gender, five-minute Apgar ≤3, and absence of prophylactic calf lung surfactant extract. Significant predictors of neurodevelopmental morbidity included sepsis, male gender, and nonwhite race. Significant predictors of disability at age four included neurodevelopmental impairment and severe retinopathy of prematurity. Low socioeconomic status, nonwhite race and male gender were predictive of educational handicap. These findings suggest that outcomes may have distinct pathophysiologies. The role of biomedical events appears strongest for death.

    Abstract: Cooper developed and provided initial support for the Drinking Motives Questionnaire–Revised (DMQ-R). More recently, Kuntsche and Kuntsche introduced the briefer DMQ-R SF. Psychometric properties of the DMQ-R and the DMQ-R SF were examined in samples of high school ( n = 131) and underage college student drinkers ( n = 189). The original and short-form versions of the DMQ-R were similar with regard to composite score validity, concurrent validity, and internal consistency. Only the Enhancement Motives subscale showed slight decrements in reliability and validity for the short form. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the DMQ-R SF was associated with slightly better goodness-of-fit and invariant factor loadings between the high school and college student samples. Despite its briefer form and reduced task demands for participants, the DMQ-R SF appears to provide nearly equivalent, and in some instances slightly improved, measurement of drinking motives in underage drinkers as does the original DMQ-R.

    Abstract: Chat has become a primary means of communication for military command and control decision makers. One of the most important aspects of military chat use is the ability to detect critical events quickly and accurately, a task often complicated by the large number of chat messages received during actual operations. The primary goal of this research was to identify factors that enable chat watchstanders to more rapidly identify the critical information embedded in chat messages. These factors, which include message highlighting and chatroom layout, have the potential to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of information processing in fast-paced, information-rich operational environments. In this study, message highlighting techniques enabled users to detect 92% of highlighted events, in comparison to 83% of events that were not highlighted. These findings indicate that highlighting chat messages confers significant performance advantages, especially in conjunction with associated factors, such as chatroom layout.
