Part A: patient-level cost and health effect data (Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) scores) were derived from the MIDAS trial and analysis undertaken from a health-system perspective. Part B: a secondary analysis simulated the societal impact of modafinil therapy in terms of national productivity costs. Results: Part A: Mean cost of modafinil treatment was AUD$3.60/day/patient for a minimally clinically important change (10 points) in total MFI fatigue score, i.e., AUD$0.36/day/unit change in fatigue score per patient. For the base case scenario, the ICER of using modafinil (versus placebo) was AUD$131.73 ($90.17 - 248.15, for minimum and maximum costs, respectively). Part B: The potential productivity cost-savings to society were calculated as nearly AUD$467 million over 1 year, and up to $383,471,991,248 over 10 years, from the widespread use of modafinil treatment in the Australian population of working-age stroke-survivors, representing a significant societal benefit. Conclusions: Modafinil is a highly cost-effective treatment for post-stroke fatigue, offering significant productivity gains and potential cost-savings to society from the widespread use of modafinil treatment in the Australian population of working-age stroke-survivors.]]> Wed 14 Dec 2022 15:27:36 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47140 0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃–0.06BaTiO₃ is reported to have a micrometer-sized surface layer. We hypothesize that since this layer has structural properties distinct from the bulk, it would undergo a different property degradation than the bulk during cyclic electrical loading or fatigue. First, we show the existence of a surface layer by comparing X-ray diffraction patterns of the ceramic surface and powders. Then, we show that fatigue damage is mainly localized in the surface layers, and thus, property degradation due to fatigue can be recovered on removing the affected surface layer. We also show that ion migration may be occurring in the surface layer during fatigue experiments using secondary ion mass spectroscopy, where the ion sources may be the sample itself, the electrode layer or the insulating oil in which the experiment is performed. Finally, we show that permanent fatigue damage such as microcracks is dependent on the choice of electrodes. While permanent damage was observed for Pt electrodes, it was not present for oxide electrodes, suggesting that oxygen permeation and accumulation at the electrode/surface interface may play a role in the formation of observed microcracks. In summary, we have shown that fatigue is influenced by the surface layer, and surface layer damage can be controlled using the selection of electrodes.]]> Wed 14 Dec 2022 15:20:37 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48056 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:24:53 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39101 Wed 11 May 2022 14:35:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17019 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:14:52 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13789 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:09:55 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3785 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:35:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17989 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:22:59 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17580 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:08:11 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1108 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:33:32 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15584 14.4 km.h(-1)) distance] and physiological measures [heart rate, blood lactate concentration ([BLa-]), and rating of perceived exertion] were collected during 20 state-based AF matches. Results: The mean (+/- SD) TD covered by field umpires was 11,492 +/- 1,729 m, with boundary umpires covering 15,061 +/- 1,749 m. The average running speed in field umpires was 103 +/- 14 m.min(-1) and was 134 +/- 14 m.min(-1) in boundary umpires. Field and boundary umpires covered 3,095 +/- 752 m and 5,875 +/- 1,590 m, during HIA, respectively. In the first quarter, HIA distance (field: P = .004, eta(2) = 0.071, boundary: P < .001, eta(2) = 0.180) and average running speed (field: P = .002, eta(2) = 0.078, boundary: P < .001, eta(2) = 0.191) were significantly greater than in subsequent quarters. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that both AF field and boundary umpires complete similar running demands to elite AF players and are subject to physical fatigue.

Significance and Aim: The study explores the levels of fatigue and its associated factors among emergency department (ED) nurses in Saudi Arabia. Methods: The study was developed through a cross-sectional quantitative study design. This included the collection of primary quantitative data with a questionnaire prepared and published on REDCap. The study questionnaire was adapted from two tools, namely the OFER 15 and the Copenhagen II tools, respectively. Results: The study established that the Saudi Arabian ED nurses have high acute fatigue (OFER 15 score = 81.11), moderate-high chronic fatigue (OFER 15 score = 74.17), and a high inter-shift recovery index (OFER 15 score = 78.01). In terms of the predictor factors, the study established that for the demographic factors, gender has an impact on chronic and acute fatigue, while work experience impacted acute fatigue and the number of dependents impacted on inter-shift recovery index. On the psycho-social factors, chronic fatigue is influenced by emotional demand (which is a variable used to evaluate the levels to which the nurse is invested, gaining education/skills thus increases job satisfaction) (−0.289), influence at work (−0.310), commitment at the workplace (0.376), rewards (−0.187), stress (0.420), and burnout (0.293), respectively. Acute fatigue is influenced by the emotional demands (0.336), role clarity (−0.128), and the nurses’ well-being and health (−0.034). Finally, the inter-shift recovery index is influenced by the ED nurses’ burnout levels (−0.877). Conclusions: The study indicates a high level of nursing fatigue among the Saudi Arabian ED nurses.]]> Thu 27 Oct 2022 17:01:52 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53980 pFDR ≤ 0.001; false-detection-rate (FDR)-corrected). There was a significant decrease in WML diffusivities and an increase in FA over the follow-up period in most TOIs (pFDR ≤ 0.001). Additionally, there were no differences in DTI parameters across treatment groups. AD and MD were positively correlated with fatigue scores (r ≤ 0.33, p ≤ 0.01) in NAWM-TOIs, while disability (EDSS) was negatively correlated with FA in most NAWM-TOIs (|r|≤0.31, p ≤ 0.01) at both time points. Disability scores correlated with all diffusivity parameters (r ≤ 0.29, p ≤ 0.01) in most WML-TOIs at both time points. Conclusion: Statistically significant changes in diffusion metrics in WML might be indicative of integrity improvement over two years in CTS tracts in clinically stable pw-RRMS. This finding represents structural changes within lesioned tracts. Measuring diffusivity in pw-RRMS affected tracts might be a relevant measure for future remyelination clinical trials.]]> Thu 25 Jan 2024 12:56:51 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25778 or ≥ 4 were available for 22 of these 24 studies (total n = 3491), and ranged from 25 to 85%.

Fatigue damage was generated on notched specimens with 4 × 10⁴ load cycles to damage for residual strength tests. The hybridization was found to be beneficial for relative damage sensitivity under one of four different fatigue conditions although its effect was marginal while three other conditions were not in favor. A relative damage sensitivity factor expression (or a criterion) was developed for quantitative comparisons between non-hybrid and hybrid composites and was theoretically demonstrated to be valid for any possible cases where various combinations are possible due to differences in strength reduction rate between two different composite systems. A theoretical framework with the relative damage sensitivity factor is proposed as a guide to deal with the complexity involving uncertainties and a large number of variables in the hybrid composite system. New damage mechanisms of the hybrid system due to dissimilarity between two sub-composite systems (i.e. glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy) were hypothesized and tested to be valid with evidence based on microscopic and macroscopic examinations.

Children reported significantly reduced pain (mean VAS reduction −27/100, 95%CI: −33, −21), improved HRQoL (mean total improvement 11/100, 95%CI: 7, −15), functional capacity (mean 6MWT improvement 27 m, 95%CI: 18, −36) and fatigue (mean total improvement 13/100, 95%CI: 9, −17) after 1 month of wearing the custom-made orthotics. From 1 month to 3 months there was further statistically but not clinically significant reduction in pain while benefit on other outcomes was maintained. In this study, children with GJH reported reduced lower limb pain, improved HRQoL, functional endurance and fatigue after a month post-fitting of custom-made orthotics which was maintained over a 3 month period. Orthotics were well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported.]]> Mon 09 Oct 2023 14:57:37 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35522 Mon 08 Nov 2021 10:29:21 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34643 Mon 08 Apr 2019 10:43:18 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33289 Fri 28 Sep 2018 15:54:19 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34991 Fri 21 Jan 2022 09:21:16 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47215 Fri 16 Dec 2022 10:16:43 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40591 Fri 15 Jul 2022 11:00:15 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46940 Fri 09 Dec 2022 11:40:33 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22334 Fri 07 Dec 2018 16:07:52 AEDT ]]>
