Read moreAnalysis of Factors Influencing Organisational Citizenship Behaviour of Employees of Airport Organizing Unit Class 1 Mopah Merauke
The Airport Organizing Unit requires reliable apparatus resources, both in terms of ability in their work and behavior in the organization, because apparatus resources are an important element in the context of providing public services. This research aims to analyze the influence of organizational climate, work environment and supervision in motivating employees to form organizational citizenship behavior among Aviation Security Section employees at the UPBU Class 1 Mopah Merauke Office. Data was collected from all Aviation Security Section employees at the UPBU Class 1 Mopah Merauke Office through a questionnaire. A saturated sampling technique was carried out with a total final sample of 94 respondents. The data collected was analyzed using the SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) technique. The results of the analysis show that there is an influence of organizational climate, work environment and supervision in motivating employee work, but this influence has no effect on organizational citizenship behavior. Thus, work motivation cannot explain the mediating role in this relationship
Read moreCrack Cocaine Use and Mortality Risk: A Follow-Up Study on 178 Individuals in Drug Treatment for Crack Cocaine Problems
Background: In Europe, crack cocaine use is mainly observed in vulnerable and marginalized groups, many of whom have other substance use problems, including heroin-related problems. Objectives: To examine mortality risk and causes of death in a cohort of crack users.Methods: We performed a follow-up study to assess mortality in a cohort of patients who entered drug treatment for crack cocaine problems in the metropolitan area of Bologna (Northern Italy) from 1992 to 2020.Results: Most of participants were polydrug users, 75% reported concomitant heroin, 55% cocaine and 24% alcohol use; 43% have injected a substance. Mortality was six times higher than in the general population, and overdose and infectious diseases were among the leading causes of death.Conclusions: Longitudinal epidemiological studies are needed to systematically assess the health outcomes of crack cocaine use.
Read moreConsistency of Response to Liquid Celecoxib in Adults With Migraine: Post Hoc Analysis of Results From Two Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Studies (P13-12.005)
<h3>Objective:</h3> Compare the consistency of treatment response of celecoxib oral solution 120 mg (COS) with placebo in adults with migraine. <h3>Background:</h3> Celecoxib oral solution (Elyxyb) is an oral liquid formulation of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)–selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug indicated for the acute treatment of migraine in adults. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> Post-hoc analysis of pooled data from 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in which adults completed 2 double-blind randomizations and treatment periods. During the first double-blind period, subjects used COS to treat 1 migraine attack of moderate to severe pain intensity. Within 2–7 days (ie, ≥48 hours of pain and symptom freedom), eligible subjects were rerandomized into a second double-blind period and instructed to treat a single migraine attack of any headache pain intensity. This analysis included randomized subjects who treated 2 attacks with COS or treated 2 attacks with placebo. Efficacy endpoints included pain freedom, freedom from the most bothersome symptoms (MBS), and pain relief at 2 hours postdose. Consistent responders achieved treatment success in both double-blind periods with either COS or placebo. A separate regression model was fit to the data for each endpoint. Risk rates (proportions) were presented and significance evaluated using relative risk models. <h3>Results:</h3> Altogether, 1253 subjects were randomized in the first double-blind period, 1080 (86%) were independently rerandomized to celecoxib (n=521) or placebo (n=517) in the second double-blind period, and 771 (celecoxib n=399) or placebo (n=372) treated 2 attacks with study medication. Rates of consistent endpoint achievement at 2 hours postdose between COS and placebo across pain freedom, MBS freedom, and pain relief were, respectively, 18% vs 11%, <i>p</i>=0.016; 40% vs 32%, <i>p</i>=0.033; and 54% vs 45%, <i>p</i>=0.012. <h3>Conclusions:</h3> Across 2 attacks, consistent response to COS was higher than consistent response to placebo for pain freedom, freedom from the MBS, and pain relief at 2 hours postdose. <b>Disclosure:</b> The institution of Dr. Serrano has received personal compensation in the range of $100,000-$499,999 for serving as a Consultant for OPEN Health Group.

Read moreUnmet needs of people with epilepsy: A qualitative study exploring their journey from presentation to long-term management across five European countries
IntroductionEpilepsy is a neurological disease that can negatively impact a person’s physical, psychological, social, and emotional well-being. The aim of this study was to provide insights into the experiences of people with epilepsy on polytherapy (i.e., people on a combination of two or more anti-seizure medications [ASMs]), with an emphasis on their emotional journey.MethodsMarket research was conducted with 40 people with epilepsy from France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Semi-structured interviews were analyzed using both a content and framework analysis approach. A content analysis of participants’ expressed emotions was used to illustrate the changes of emotions experienced by people with epilepsy from presentation through to monitoring and follow-up stages.ResultsIn each stage of the journey, themes and subthemes were identified under the overarching headings: Stage 1: Presentation – Life is turned upside down; Stage 2: Diagnosis – Period of learning; Stage 3: Treatment – Aspirations and experimentation; and Stage 4: Monitoring and follow-up – Feeling “out on a limb”. The research identified key unmet needs and opportunities for people with epilepsy to improve their subjective experiences at different stages of their disease journey, namely: (1) establish and promote support networks from presentation through to monitoring and follow-up stages; (2) accelerate pathway to diagnosis; (3) provide opportunities to discuss the diagnosis with patients; (4) clarify treatment-change guidelines for patients; and (5) develop a shared treatment decision-making/empowerment tool.DiscussionThe research findings and recommendations have the potential to drive change at an individual level, as well as at a healthcare level.
Read moreCharacteristics and Outcomes of COVID-19 Patients Presumed to be Treated with Sotrovimab in NHS Hospitals in England
ABSTRACTIntroductionThere is limited real-world evidence describing the effectiveness of early treatments for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the period where Omicron was the dominant variant. Here we describe characteristics and acute clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19 treated with a monoclonal antibody (mAb; presumed to be sotrovimab) across six distinct periods covering the emergence and subsequent dominance of Omicron subvariants (BA.1, BA.2 and BA.5) in England.MethodsRetrospective cohort study using data from Hospital Episode Statistics database between 1stJanuary – 31stJuly 2022. Included patients were aged ≥12 years and received a mAb delivered by a National Health Service (NHS) hospital as a day-case, for which the primary diagnosis was COVID-19. Patients were presumed to have received sotrovimab on the basis of available NHS data showing that 99.98% of individuals who received COVID-19 treatment during the period covered by the study were actually treated with sotrovimab. COVID-19-attributable hospitalisations were reported overall and across six distinct periods of Omicron sub-variant prevalence. A multivariate Poisson regression model was used to estimate incidence rate ratios for each period. Subgroup analyses were conducted in patients with severe renal disease and active cancer.ResultsIn total, 10,096 patients were included. The most common high-risk comorbidities were Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disorders (43.0%;n= 4,337), severe renal disease (14.1%;n= 1,422), rare neurological conditions (10.4%;n= 1,053) and active cancer (9.0%;n= 910). The proportions of patients with a COVID-19-attributable hospitalisation was 1.0% (n= 96), or with a hospital visit due to any cause was 4.6% (n= 465) during the acute period. The percentage of patients who died due to any cause during the acute study period was 0.3% (n= 27). COVID-19-attributable hospitalisation rates were consistent among subgroups and no significant differences (p-values ranged from 0.13 to 0.64) were observed across periods of Omicron subvariants.ConclusionLow levels of COVID-19-attributable hospitalisations and deaths were recorded in mAb-treated patients. Results were consistent for patients with severe renal disease and active cancer. No evidence of differences in hospitalisation rates were observed whilst Omicron BA.1, and BA.2 or BA.5 subvariants were predominant, despite reported reductions in in vitro neutralisation activity of sotrovimab against BA.2 and BA.5.

Delphi panel for consensus on the optimal management of dabrafenib plus trametinib-related pyrexia in patients with melanoma.
Dabrafenib and trametinib combination therapy (dab + tram) is indicated to treat BRAF V600 mutation-positive unresectable/metastatic melanoma and as adjuvant treatment for resected stage III disease. Dab + tram-related pyrexia may require early therapy discontinuation. A modified Delphi panel was conducted to develop consensus on the optimal management of dab + tram-related pyrexia in patients with melanoma. In all, 10 UK oncologists experienced in melanoma management participated in a three-round modified Delphi study (Round 1: one-to-one interview; Rounds 2 and 3: email survey). In each round, participants rated the extent of their agreement with statements about defining and managing dab + tram-related pyrexia. Consensus was defined as >80% agreement for critical management (CM) and >60% for non-critical management (NCM) statements. All 10 participants completed Round 1; 9 completed Rounds 2 and 3. Consensus was reached on 42/66 statements (20 CM and 22 NCM). Drug-related pyrexia was agreed as being strictly an elevation of body temperature, although other symptoms may be present (89% agreement). Panelists agreed on the need for simple and generic guidance on dab + tram-related pyrexia management that does not differentiate between patient groups (100%), and that management of first and second dab + tram-related pyrexia episodes should be the same regardless of treatment intent (100%). Regarding CM, participants agreed that both dab and tram should be interrupted for pyrexia (100%) without considering the use of steroids (89%); patients on dab + tram presenting to non-oncology services with pyrexia should be directed to an oncology-specific service as soon as possible and assessed for infection (100%). NCM statements on steroid use following dab + tram interruption and when to restart dab + tram did not reach consensus. These consensus statements provide a framework on optimal management of dab + tram-related pyrexia in patients with melanoma which should inform future guidelines.
