    Abstract This study aimed to perform a path analysis to understand the effects of quality characteristics on perceived usefulness, perceived ease to use, involvement, and acceptance intention of healthcare kiosks in elderly using the extended technology acceptance model. We performed structural equation modeling (SEM) with data from 300 elderly. The following results were obtained. Firstly, elderly's perceived quality characteristics of healthcare kiosks had a partial positive effect on perceived usefulness. Secondly, elderly's perceived quality characteristics of healthcare kiosks had a partial positive effect on perceived ease to use. Thirdly, elderly's perceived ease to use healthcare kiosks had a partial positive effect on perceived usefulness. In addition, elderly's perceived usefulness of healthcare kiosks had a positive effect on acceptance intention. Lastly, elderly's perceived ease to use healthcare kiosks had a positive effect on acceptance intention.

    Abstract The school environment is a primary realm of life for school-aged children and thus their adaptation to school and academic performance may affect their degree of happiness. The age of smartphone users has declined, and problematic smartphone usage has widely expanded such that young children are also affected by such devices. This study assessed adaptation to school, academic achievement, problematic smartphone usage, and general happiness in a panel data sample of 695 Korean 10-year-old children and their teachers and mothers, and a moderated mediation model of these variables was tested. Results revealed that school adaptation affected general happiness of children through academic performance, and problematic smartphone usage demonstrated significant moderating effects on the relationship between school adaptation and academic achievement. Specifically, in children with a high level of adaptation to school life, the difference in problematic smartphone usage did not affect academic performance. However, lower level of adaptation led to greater differences in academic performance depending on problematic smartphone usage, and children with high problematic smartphone usage showed poorer academic performance. This study is meaningful because variables related to adaptation of 10-year-old children were collected from multiple informants. In addition, this study focused on general happiness, a positive factor, as the outcome variable to test the effects of variables related to school and problematic smartphone usage. Limitations include that a causal relationship cannot be examined, and qualitative differences in smartphone usage were not measured.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to compare shoulder movement measurements between a Kinect-based markerless ROM assessment device (POM-Checker) and a 3D motion capture analysis system (BTS SMART DX-400).
    Methods: This was a single-visit clinical trial designed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the POM-Checker. The primary outcome was to assess the equivalence between two measurement devices within the same set of participants, aiming to evaluate the validity of the POM-Checker compared to the gold standard device (3D Motion Analysis System). As this was a pilot study, six participants were included.
    Results: The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the reproducibility of the measurements. Among the 18 movements analyzed, 16 exhibited ICC values of >0.75, indicating excellent reproducibility.
    Conclusion: The results showed that the POM-checker is reliable and validated to measure the range of motion of the shoulder joint.

    Abstract Zika virus (ZIKV) emerged as a serious public health problem since the first major outbreak in 2007. Current ZIKV diagnostic methods can successfully identify known ZIKV but are impossible to track the origin of viruses and pathogens other than known ZIKV strains. We planned to determine the ability of Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in clinical epidemiology by evaluating whether it can successfully detect the origin of ZIKV in a suspected case of laboratory-acquired infection (LAI). ZIKV found in the patient sample was sequenced with nanopore sequencing technology, followed by the production of the phylogenetic tree, based on the alignment of 38 known ZIKV strains with the consensus sequence. The closest viral strain with the consensus sequence was the strain used in the laboratory, with a percent identity of 99.27%. We think WGS showed its time-effectiveness and ability to detect the difference between strains to the level of a single base. Additionally, to determine the global number of LAIs, a literature review of articles published in the last 10 years was performed, and 53 reports of 338 LAIs were found. The lack of a universal reporting system was worrisome, as in the majority of cases (81.1%), the exposure route was unknown.

    Abstract Background: Concerns regarding antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have resulted in the World Health Organization (WHO) designating so-called global priority pathogens (GPPs). However, little discussion has focused on the diagnosis of GPPs. To enable the simultaneous identification of pathogens and AMR, we developed a modular real-time nucleic acid amplification test (MRT-NAAT).
    Methods: Sequence-specific primers for each modular unit for MRT-NAAT pathogen identification and AMR sets were designed. The composition of the reaction mixture and the real-time PCR program were unified irrespective of primer type so to give MRT-NAAT modularity. Standard strains and clinical isolates were used to evaluate the performance of MRT-NAAT by real-time PCR and melting curve analysis. Probit analysis for the MRT-NAAT pathogen identification set was used to assess the limit of detection (LoD).
    Results: The MRT-NAAT pathogen identification set was made up of 15 modular units 109-199 bp in product size and with a T
    Conclusions: MRT-NAAT enables pathogen identification and AMR gene detection and is time-effective. By unifying the reaction settings of each modular unit, the modularity where combinations of primers can be used according to need could be achieved. This would greatly help in reflecting the researcher's need and the AMR status of a certain region while successfully detecting pathogens and AMR genes.

    Abstract Covariate-adjusted response-adaptive (CARA) design becomes an important statistical tool for evaluating and comparing the performance of treatments when targeted medicine and adaptive therapy become important medical innovations. Due to the nature of the adaptive therapies of interest and how subjects accrue to a sampling procedure, it is of interest how to control the sample size sequentially such that the estimates of treatment effects have satisfactory precision in addition to its asymptotic properties. In this paper, we apply a multiple-stage sequential sampling method to CARA design in such a way that the control of the sample size is more feasible. The theoretical properties of the proposed method, including the estimates of regression parameters and the allocation probabilities under this randomly stopped sampling procedure, are discussed. The numerical results based on synthesized data and a real example are presented.

    Abstract The exploration of oral microbiome has been increasing due to its relatedness with various systemic diseases, but standardization of saliva sampling for microbiome analysis has not been established, contributing to the lack of data comparability. Here, we evaluated the factors that influence the microbiome data. Saliva samples were collected by the two collection methods (passive drooling and mouthwash) using three saliva-preservation methods (OMNIgene, DNA/RNA shield, and simple collection). A total of 18 samples were sequenced by both Illumina short-read and Nanopore long-read next-generation sequencing (NGS). The component of the oral microbiome in each sample was compared with alpha and beta diversity and the taxonomic abundances, to find out the effects of factors on oral microbiome data. The alpha diversity indices of the mouthwash sample were significantly higher than that of the drooling group with both short-read and long-read NGS, while no significant differences in microbial diversities were found between the three saliva-preservation methods. Our study shows mouthwash and simple collection are not inferior to other sample collection and saliva-preservation methods, respectively. This result is promising since the convenience and cost-effectiveness of mouthwash and simple collection can simplify the saliva sample preparation, which would greatly help clinical operators and lab workers.
