    Abstract This paper presents a method for identifying parameter values for a double parallel resistor/constant-phase-element model of the electrode-skin interface for individual silver and silver/silver chloride electrodes. The impedance of each electrode was measured in five from 1 Hz-10 kHz. Phase features of these data were used to guide initial estimates for parameter values which were refined using a least squares algorithm. Resultant model impedances were compared with experimental data across a typical biosignal bandwidth (1 Hz-500 Hz). The method was effective in estimating component values in most datasets, and resulted in a mean relative RMS error of 7 % (σ = 8.3%) across the biosignal bandwidth.Clinical relevance- This work establishes a feature-based method for finding component parameter estimates for an electrode contact impedance model.

    Abstract AbstractStriking examples of local adaptation at fine geographic scales are increasingly being documented in natural populations. However, the relative contributions made by natural selection, phenotype-dependent dispersal (when individuals disperse with respect to a habitat preference), and mate preference in generating and maintaining microgeographic adaptation and divergence are not well studied. Here, we develop quantitative genetics models and individual-based simulations (IBSs) to uncover the evolutionary forces that possibly drive microgeographic divergence. We also perform Bayesian estimation of the parameters in our IBS using empirical data on habitat-specific variation in bill morphology in the island scrub-jay (

    Abstract Objectives: During a precommissioning inspection of a new biocontainment centre, radiographers noted structural features of quarantine rooms that could compromise staff and patient safety and the X-ray image quality, even after significant modifications had been made to an earlier radiography protocol. The aim of this study was to explore the safety and effectiveness of the modified protocol, in the new space, and identify improvements, if required.
    Design: A qualitative study using in situ simulation and video-reflexive methods.
    Setting: A newly built biocontainment centre, prior to its commissioning in 2021, in a large, tertiary hospital in Sydney, Australia.
    Participants: Five radiographers, and a nurse and a physician from the biocontainment centre, consented to participate. All completed the study.
    Interventions: Two simulated mobile X-ray examinations were conducted in the unit prior to its commissioning; simulations were videoed. Participants and other stakeholders analysed video footage, collaboratively, and sessions were audio recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically. Problems and potential solutions identified were collated and communicated to the hospital executive, for endorsement and actioning, if possible.
    Results: Four themes were identified from the data: infection exposure risks, occupational health and exposure risks, communication and X-ray image quality. Facilitated group reviews of video footage identified several important issues, across these four areas of risk, which had not been identified previously.
    Conclusions: In situ simulation is used, increasingly, to evaluate and improve healthcare practices. This study confirmed the added value of video-reflexive methods, which provided experienced participants with a richer view of a familiar protocol, in a new setting. Video footage can be examined immediately, or later if required, by a broader group of stakeholders, with diverse experience or expertise. Using video reflexivity, clinicians identified potential safety risks, which were collated and reported to the hospital executive, who agreed to implement modifications.

    Abstract Acquiring patient physiological waveforms is useful for studying hemodynamic management and developing medical monitoring systems. A low cost, Arduino controlled data acquisition system acquires arterial pressure waveforms (Edwards Lifesciences TruWave compatible) and measures fluid infusion rate using hanging scales. This system can be used at the same time as a clinical monitor, enabling recording of patient arterial pressure and fluid delivery for clinical research. The system is powered via a USB connection, which additionally provides serial output, aiding compatibility and customisation. A simple software user interface, developed in Python, shows outputs. Each data acquisition system, including all necessary connection cables costs ~US$90 and is multiple-use.

    Abstract Purpose: Te Aho o Te Kahu, the New Zealand Cancer Control Agency, is establishing a systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) database (Anti-Cancer Therapy-Nationally Organized Workstream [ACT-NOW]) which can be linked to other national health data collections. In this article, we explore the application of ACT-NOW data in the monitoring of uptake and outcomes after the public funding of pemetrexed in Aotearoa New Zealand.
    Methods: We used the ACT-NOW collection to identify patients with advanced nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer, who were treated with first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy over an 8-year period. Data were extracted for a period of 4 years before and 4 years after the national funding of pemetrexed (November 1, 2017). Treatments were classified as historical platinum doublet (cisplatin or carboplatin with gemcitabine, vinorelbine, paclitaxel, or docetaxel) or platinum pemetrexed doublet (cisplatin or carboplatin with pemetrexed). The primary outcome was the proportion of patients receiving each treatment type, before and after November 1, 2017. To prototype linkage to outcomes data, we evaluated hospitalization and 1-year overall survival (OS) rates by treatment.
    Results: A total of 331 patients were included from four cancer centers. All patients (116 of 116) who were treated with first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy between November 2013 and November 2017 received historical platinum doublet chemotherapy. After the introduction of pemetrexed, between November 2017 and November 2021, 94% (203 of 215) were treated with platinum pemetrexed doublet chemotherapy and 6% (12 of 215) with historical platinum doublet chemotherapy. Linkage to outcomes data for 1-year OS, hospitalization rates, and lengths of stay outcome data were achievable.
    Conclusion: The ACT-NOW data set has the potential to facilitate evaluation of the impact of national-level SACT funding decisions on prescribing practice and specific patient outcomes. Our results support the use of these data to inform resource planning and quality improvement.
