Current situation and trend of medical laboratory results homogeneity management / 中华预防医学杂志

Medical test results are indispensable and important tools in diagnosis and treatment services. It is necessary to promote the homogenization of test results first, because homogenization is the basis for mutual recognition of test results. Mutual recognition of medical test results can help share resources among medical institutions, provide more reliable test results for early prevention, screening and treatment of diseases, and reduce repeated tests, thus improving people's medical experience. In recent years, with the deepening of medical system reform and the promotion of graded diagnosis and treatment, governments have continuously introduced policies of mutual recognition of test results around country. However, homogenization is a prerequisite for mutual recognition of test results, with the emergence of intelligent medicine in the era of internet big data, opportunities and challenges coexist in the development of homogeneity management. In the future, the homogeneity of medical test results will present a trend of digitalization, automation, informatization and intelligence.

Impactos da insuficiência cardíaca no sistema de saúde e previdenciário brasileiro: qual é o custo da doença? / Impacts of heart failure on the Brazilian health and pension system: what is the cost of the disease?

Objetivo: Estimar os principais custos indiretos da insuficiência cardíaca (IC) na população brasileira, sobre o sistema de saúde, o custo previdenciário e o quanto se perde em produtividade pelas complicações da doença. Métodos: Estudo ecológico desenvolvido com dados secundários, para a série histórica de 2018 a 2021, minerados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (Datasus), do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), e indicadores previdenciários coletados da Previdência Social e Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS). Resultados: Foram registrados 77.290 óbitos por IC no Brasil para o período, distribuídos uniformemente em relação ao sexo. A taxa de mortalidade foi diversificada entre as regiões brasileiras, com ênfase para Sudeste e Nordeste. As projeções indicam um gasto total de mais de R$ 1 bilhão com hospitalizações, com custo médio hospitalar de R$ 1.725,27 por pessoa. O custo médio por internação ultrapassou os R$ 2 bilhões de reais. Aproximadamente 3% das despesas federais são destinadas a pagamentos de benefícios relacionados a IC. Do total de afastamentos, 65% correspondem a homens e 35%, a mulheres, com custos que podem chegar a R$ 6 bilhões perdidos por ano. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem um aumento do afastamento de portadores de IC da força de trabalho, o que acarreta maiores dispêndios para o sistema de saúde e pagamentos de benefícios previdenciários, como auxílio-doença e aposentadoria por incapacidade de longa duração. Este é o primeiro estudo que estima e correlaciona os dados socioepidemiológicos e os custos de saúde e previdenciários da IC no Brasil.

Objective: To estimate the main indirect costs of heart failure (HF) in the Brazilian population, on the health system, social security cost, and how much is lost in productivity due to the complications of the disease. Methods: Ecological study developed with secondary data, for the historical series from 2018 to 2021, mined from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (Datasus), from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), and social security indicators collected from Social Security and the National Social Security Institute (INSS). Results: There were 77,290 deaths from HF in Brazil for the period, evenly distributed according to sex. The mortality rate was diversified among Brazilian regions, with emphasis on the Southeast and Northeast. Projections indicate a total expenditure of more than BRL 1 billion with hospitalizations, with an average hospital cost of BRL 1,725.27 per person. The average cost per hospitalization exceeded BRL 2 billion. Approximately 3% of federal expenditures are earmarked for IC benefit payments. Of the total number of absences, 65% correspond to men and 35% to women, with costs that can reach R$ 6 billion lost per year. Conclusion: The results suggest an increase in the removal of HF patients from the workforce, which leads to higher expenditures for the health system and payments of social security benefits, such as sick pay and retirement due to long-term disability. This is the first study that estimates and correlates socio-epidemiological data, health and social security costs of HF in Brazil.

Plataformização e o uso da informação para a criação de estímulos de consumo / Platformization and the use of information for the creation of consumption response / La plataformización y el uso de la información para crear estímulos al consumidor

Resumo Vivemos numa sociedade em que a existência está diretamente associada a visibilidade dos indivíduos. As construções narrativas que validam este processo trabalham com imagens e vídeos que projetam e constroem as nossas vivências em múltiplas plataformas digitais. Através delas é possível mapear boa parte de nossas ações e interações. Esses dados são valiosos indicativos de nosso comportamento social e emocional diante de variados temas e situações. As plataformas digitais utilizam essas informações na dinâmica do capitalismo de dados, extraindo valor a partir de mecanismos automatizados de coleta e operados por sujeitos algorítmicos. Por meio da organização de Big Data novos padrões de consumo são estimulados através de entregas customizadas para determinados grupos de pessoas interconectadas. Este estudo mostra as características deste processo operado em ambientes heterotópicos em que o espaço-tempo é formatado pela lógica das plataformas. Além disso, será apresentado um panorama sobre como esse artifício se tornou possível por causa da necessidade de relevância em que a autonomia do indivíduo nas redes é proporcional a sua submissão as regras de vigilância e exploração econômica. Através desta premissa este estudo apresenta dados recentes sobre a relação de confiança dos brasileiros nestas plataformas digitais que, paradoxalmente, ocupam lugar de destaque como fonte de informação primordial para boa parte da população no Brasil.

Abstract We live in a society in which the existence is directly associated with the visibility of the individuals. The narrative constructions that validate these processes work with images and videos that project and build our experiences on multiple digital platforms. Through them it is possible to map part of our actions and interactions. These data are valuable indicators of our social and emotional behavior in the face of many themes and situations. Digital platforms use this information in the dynamic of data capitalism, extracting value from automated collection mechanisms operated by algorithmic subjects. Through the Big Data organization, consumption patterns are stimulated through customized deliveries for certain groups of interconnected people. This study shows the characteristics of this process operated in heterotopic environments in which space-time is operated by the platform logic. In addition to that, an overview will be presented on how this artifice became possible because of the need for relevance in which the individuals autonomy in networks is proportional to their submission to the rules of surveillance and economic exploitation. Through this premise, this study also presents recent data on the trust relationship of Brazilians in these digital platforms that, paradoxically, occupy a prominent place as a primary source of information for a large part of the population in Brazil.

Correlation analysis of smell and taste loss with COVID-19 outbreak trend based on big data of internet / 中华耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

Objective: To analyze the correlation between loss of smell/taste and the number of real confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide based on Google Trends data, and to explore the guiding role of smell/taste loss for the COVID-19 prevention and control. Methods: "Loss of smell" and "loss of taste" related keywords were searched in the Google Trends platform, the data were obtained from Jan. 1 2019 to Jul. 11 2021. The daily and newly confirmed COVID-19 case number were collected from World Health Organization (WHO) since Dec. 30 2019. All data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 23.0 software. The correlation was finally tested by Spearman correlation analysis. Results: A total of data from 80 weeks were collected. The retrospective analysis was performed on the new trend of COVID-19 confirmed cases in a total of 186 292 441 cases worldwide. Since the epidemic of COVID-19 was recorded on the WHO website, the relative searches related to loss of smell/taste in the Google Trends platform had been increasing globally. The global relative search volumes of "loss of smell" and "loss of taste" on Google Trends was 10.23±2.58 and 16.33±2.47 before the record of epidemic while 80.25±39.81 and 80.45±40.04 after (t value was 8.67, 14.43, respectively, both P<0.001). In the United States and India, the relative searches for "loss of smell" and "loss of taste" after the record of epidemic were also much higher than before (all P<0.001). The correlation coefficients between the trend of weekly new COVID-19 cases and the Google Trends of "loss of smell" in the global, United States, and India was 0.53, 0.76, and 0.82 respectively (all P<0.001), the correlation coefficients with Google Trends of "loss of taste" was 0.54, 0.78, and 0.82 respectively (all P<0.001). The lowest and highest point of loss of smell/taste search curves of Google Trends in different periods appeared 7 to 14 days earlier than that of the weekly newly COVID-19 confirmed cases curves, respectively. Conclusions: There is a significant positive correlation between the number of newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide and the amount of keywords, such as "loss of smell" and "loss of taste", retrieved in Google Trends. The trend of big data based on Google Trends might predict the outbreak trend of COVID-19 in advance.

Research progress of micronucleus visualization analysis and artificial intelligence detection strategy / 中华预防医学杂志

The micronucleomics test can comprehensively display a variety of harmful endpoints, such as DNA damage and repair, chromosome breakage or loss and cell growth inhibition, with fast, simple and economical feature. Micronucleomics is not only widely used in the comprehensive assessment of the types and modes of genetic action of exogenous chemicals (such as drugs, food additives, cosmetics, environmental pollutants, etc.), but also plays an important role in the screening and risk assessment of cancer population at high risk. However, the traditional micronucleomics image counting method has the characteristics of time-consuming, low accuracy, and high cost, which cannot meet the current analysis requirements of large-scale, multi-index, rapidity, high precision and visualization. In recent years, with the rapid development of the era of precision medicine based on big data, visualized analysis of new micronucleomics based on machine learning and detection strategies based on deep learning have shown a good application prospect. This review, based on the application value of micronucleomics, systematically compares the traditional and new artificial intelligence counting of micronucleus images, and discusses the future direction of micronucleus image detection.

Chinese expert consensus on big data and real world study in cancer research (2022 edition) / 中华肿瘤杂志

Cancer is a public health and social problem to which great attention should be attached. Not only are there a large number of cancer patients in China, but great differences also exist in etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment between China and western countries. Therefore, tumor-related data in China has its own characteristics. Full reference to the data of western countries cannot accurately reflect the real situation of cancer prevention and treatment in China.
