The effect of patients’ preference on outcome in the EVerT cryotherapy versus salicylic acid for the treatment of plantar warts (verruca) trial
No full textBackground
Randomised controlled trials are widely accepted as the gold standard method to evaluate medical interventions, but they are still open to bias. One such bias is the effect of patient’s preference on outcome measures. The aims of this study were to examine whether patients’ treatment preference affected clearance of plantar warts and explore whether there were any associations between patients’ treatment preference and baseline variables in the EverT trial.
Methods
Two hundred and forty patients were recruited from University podiatry schools, NHS podiatry clinics and primary care. Patients were aged 12 years and over and had at least one plantar wart which was suitable for treatment with salicylic acid and cryotherapy. Patients were asked their treatment preference prior to randomisation. The Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to test the association between preference group and continuous baseline variables. The Fisher’s exact test was performed to test the association between preference group and categorical baseline variables. A logistic regression analysis was undertaken with verruca clearance (yes or no) as the dependent variable and treatment, age, type of verruca, previous treatment, treatment preference as independent variables. Two analyses were undertaken, one using the health professional reported outcome and one using the patient’s self reported outcomes. Data on whether the patient found it necessary to stop the treatment to which they had been allocated and whether they started another treatment were summarised by treatment group.
Results
Pre-randomisation preferences were: 10% for salicylic acid; 42% for cryotherapy and 48% no treatment preference. There was no evidence of an association between treatment preference group and either patient (p=0.95) or healthcare professional (p=0.46) reported verruca clearance rates. There was no evidence of an association between preference group and any of the baseline variables except gender, with more females expressing a preference for salicylic acid (p=0.004). There was no evidence that the number of times salicylic acid was applied was different between the preference groups at one week (p=0.89) or at three weeks (p=0.24). Similarly, for the number of clinic visits for cryotherapy (p=0.71)
Conclusions
This secondary analysis showed no evidence to suggest that patients’ baseline preferences affected verruca clearance rates or adherence with the treatment

Application of linear and nonlinear adaptive filters for the compensation of disturbances in the laminar boundary layer
No full textIn order to delay the laminar-turbulent transition in the boundary layer of airfoils the compensation of instability waves by artificially excited disturbances is studied. It turns out that also nonlinear processes occur in the spatial development of disturbances. This can be modeled by different types of nonlinear filter structures
The CogALex-V Shared Task on the Corpus-Based Identification of Semantic Relations
No full textThe shared task of the 5th Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of the Lexicon (CogALex-V) aims
at providing a common benchmark for testing current corpus-based methods for the identifica-
tion of lexical semantic relations (
synonymy
,
antonymy
,
hypernymy
,
part-whole meronymy
) and
at gaining a better understanding of their respective strengths and weaknesses. The shared task
uses a challenging dataset extracted from EVALution 1.0 (Santus et al., 2015b), which contains
word pairs holding the above-mentioned relations as well as semantically unrelated control items
(
random
). The task is split into two subtasks: (i) identification of related word pairs vs. unre-
lated ones; (ii) classification of the word pairs according to their semantic relation. This paper
describes the subtasks, the dataset, the evaluation metrics, the seven participating systems and
their results. The best performing system in subtask 1 is GHHH (

Teknik pengumpulan data yang penulis gunakan adalah studi kepustakaan, dan
studi literatur. Latar belakang kehidupan dan karir Kolonel A.E Kawilarang ketika
periode perang kemerdekaan dan periode kemerdekaan tidak dapat
dikesampingkan. Di akhir karirnya sebagai prajurti, A.E Kawilarang mendukung
Permesta yang dicap Pemerontak. Sikap A.E Kawilarang yang mendukung
Permesta namun kurang setuju dengan cara yang dilakukan Permesta.
Keterlibatan A.E Kawilarang yang minim dalam Permesta menimbulkan banyak
spekulasi mengenai dirinya dari pihak permesta dan juga pemerintahan Indonesia.
A.E Kawilarang memandang Permesta sebagai wadah perjuangan rakayat di
daerah dalam mendapatkan hak-hak daerah. Pemerintah Indonesia memandang
Kawilarang sebagai Perwira senior yang mahir strategi.---------Region summit Upheaval that happen at Indonesia on 1958 had causes civil war
in Indonesia until 1961. The main problem that discussed in this essay is how
attitude and opinion of Colonel Alex Evert Kawilarang about Perjuangan Rakyat

Demeanor A.E Kawilarang supporting Permesta but less agreed with the way
done Permesta. The involvement of A.E Kawilarang less in the Permesta raises a
lot of speculation about him from the Government of Indonesia and also the
permesta. A. E Kawilarang looked Permesta as a container of people struggle in
