An app-, web- and social support-based weight loss intervention for adults with obesity: the 'HelpMeDoIt!' feasibility randomised controlled trial

This is the final version. Available on open access from BMC via the DOI in this recordAvailability of data and materials: The datasets used and/or analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.Background: Social support has an important role in successful weight loss. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an app-, web- and social support-based intervention in supporting adults with obesity to achieve weight loss. Methods: The intervention and evaluation methods were tested in a feasibility randomised controlled trial. Adults in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board area of Scotland with a body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2 were recruited and randomised 2:1 (intervention to control). The feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and trial methods were assessed against pre-specified progression criteria, via process, economic and outcome evaluation. Three primary outcomes were explored: BMI, diet and physical activity, as well as a number of secondary outcomes. The intervention group had access to the HelpMeDoIt! intervention for 12 months. This encouraged them to (i) set goals, (ii) monitor progress and (iii) harness social support by inviting 'helpers' from their existing social network. The control group received a healthy lifestyle leaflet. Results: One hundred and nine participants were recruited, with 84 participants (77%) followed-up at 12 months. The intervention and trial methods were feasible and acceptable. Participants and helpers were generally positive. Of the 54 (74%) participants who downloaded the app, 48 (89%) used it. Interview data indicated that HelpMeDoIt! promoted social support from existing social networks to support weight loss. This support was often given outside of the app.Outcomes were compared using linear regression models, with randomised group, the baseline measurement of the outcome, age and gender as predictor variables. These analyses were exploratory and underpowered to detect effects. However, all pre-specified primary outcome effects (BMI, diet and physical activity) had wide confidence intervals and were therefore consistent with clinically relevant benefits. Objective physical activity measures perhaps showed most potential (daily step count (p = 0.098; 1187 steps [- 180, 2555])) and sedentary time (p = 0.022; - 60.8 min [- 110.5, - 11.0]). However, these outcomes were poorly completed. Conclusions: The study demonstrated that a novel social support intervention involving support from participants' close social networks, delivered via app and website, has potential to promote weight loss and is feasible and acceptable.

ВНУТРИБРЮШНАЯ АЭРОЗОЛЬНАЯ ХИМИОТЕРАПИЯ ПОД ДАВЛЕНИЕМ В СОЧЕТАНИИ С СИСТЕМНОЙ ХИМИОТЕРАПИЕЙ – НОВЫЙ ПОДХОД В ЛЕЧЕНИИ БОЛЬНЫХ РАКОМ ЖЕЛУДКА С ПЕРИТОНЕАЛЬНЫМ КАРЦИНОМАТОЗОМ

The aim of the study was to analyze the immediate and long-term outcomes of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Material and methods. The treatment protocol included diagnostic laparoscopy with PCI score assessment and peritoneal biopsy and 4 courses of systemic chemotherapy with XELOX or FOLFOX followed by PIPAC with cisplatin and doxorubicin at 6–8 week intervals. Between the PIPAC cycles patients received systemic chemotherapy according to previous regimen. Each PIPAC procedure included laparoscopy, evaluation of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index (PCI) and peritoneal biopsies. Results. 102 (80.3 %) patients had primary gastric cancer with PC and 25 (19.7 %) had peritoneal recurrence of gastric cancer. PCI&lt;10 points was found in 60 (47.2%) patients, PCI 10–18 in 33 (26 %) patients and PCI&gt;18 in 34 (26.7 %) patients. Diffuse type of cancer was diagnosed in 114 patients (89.7 %), intestinal type in 6 (4.7 %) patients and the mixed type in 7 (5.5 %) patients. 127 patients underwent 310 PIPAC procedures. No severe complications and were observed. Pathological response (PRGC score) was evaluated in 72 patients. Partial pathological response (PRGS 2) was achieved in 40 (55.6 %) cases and complete pathological response (PRGS 1) – in 10 (13.9 %). Survival was evaluated in 63 % (n=80) patients who received more than one PIPAC. The median survival was 16.0 months and one year survival rate was 77.9 %. Conclusion. A new approach to the treatment of gastric cancer with PC combining systemic chemotherapy and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy is a simple and save method allowing improvement of survival of patients with peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer.Цель исследования – изучить непосредственные и отдалённые результаты применения внутрибрюшной аэрозольной химиотерапии под давлением (ВАХД) у больных с перитонеальным карциноматозом при раке желудка. Материал и методы. На первом этапе, согласно протоколу исследования, пациентам выполняли стадирующую лапароскопию, в ходе которой определяли распространённость перитонеального карциноматоза по шкале PCI с обязательной множественной биопсией брюшины и последующим гистологическим исследованием измененных участков брюшины. Лечение начинали с 4 курсов системной химиотерапии по схеме XELOX или FOLFOX. В дальнейшем больным в условиях торакоабдоминального отделения осуществляли сеансы ВАХД препаратами цисплатин и доксорубицин с интервалом 6–8 нед. Между сеансами пациенты продолжали получать системную химиотерапию по прежней схеме. Каждый сеанс ВАХД включал лапароскопию, повторную биопсию и оценку PCI. Результаты. У 102 (80,3 %) больных был первичный рак желудка с ПК, у 25 (19,7 %) – перитонеальный рецидив. PCI&lt;10 баллов зафиксирован у 60 (47,2 %), PCI 10–18 – у 33 (26 %), PCI&gt;18 – у 34 (26,7 %). Диффузный тип рака желудка выявлен у 114 больных (89,7 %), кишечный тип – у 6 (4,7 %), смешанный тип – у 7 (5,5 %). С 2013 г. 127 больным проведено 310 процедур ВАХД. Тяжелых осложнений и летальности не отмечено. Лечебный патоморфоз был оценен у 72 больных. У 40 (55,6 %) больных отмечен выраженный патоморфоз (PRGS 2) и у 10 (13,9%) – полный патоморфоз (PRGS 1). Выживаемость оценена у 63 % (n=80), получивших более 1 сеанса ВАХД. Медиана выживаемости составила 16,0 мес, 1-годичная выживаемость – 77,9 %. Заключение. Новый подход к лечению больных раком желудка с перитонеальным карциноматозом, сочетающий системную химиотерапию и внутрибрюшную аэрозольную химиотерапию под давлением, зарекомендовал себя как относительно простой и безопасный метод, позволяющий добиться увеличения общей выживаемости у пациентов с диссеминированным раком желудка

Digitalisation of Professional Education: Prospects and Invisible Barriers

Introduction. Nowadays, digital education is one of the priorities of state policy in modern Russia. The Federal Institute for the Development of Education has developed a draft didactic concept of digital education to maximise the potential of digital technology (DT) in vocational training. Nevertheless, while policymakers and education managers are aware of the need to move to a new level of digital technology implementation, there are challenges to this process. The technological resources of educational environment have been increasing intensively in the past decade, and their intensive scientific and pedagogical development is observed. However, little attention is given to the willingness of teachers to work with continuously evolving technological tools.The aim of the research is to identify the barriers, which hinder the professional development of teachers in mastering information and communications technologies (ICT) and digital technologies, as well as some mental attitudes circulating in the society and slowing down the process of digitalisation of vocational education.Methodology and research methods. The present research is based on personal-context and personal-development approaches. In the course of experimental research and two pilot studies, teachers and specialists of professional educational organisations were interviewed (n = 187 people). The methods of questionnaire-based survey, sociological analysis, statistical data-processing tools and Google Forms tools were used.Results and scientific novelty. On the basis of the outcomes of the conducted surveys, the following aspects were analysed: the degree of teachers’ skills formation declared in the professional standard; willingness to implement e-learning, expand the range of ICT and GT included in teaching practice; respondents’ attitudes towards the digitalisation of education and their self-recognition in this process. Clear and invisible obstacles to the process under discussion are identified and sistematised. The found barriers are classified into risk, image and didactic barriers. The recommendations to overcome the barriers are proposed. According to the authors of the present article, it is advisable to introduce a new specialty “digital engineer-teacher” due to the obvious integration of pedagogical and engineering functions into the activities of teachers. Working in one team consisted of a specialist, who designs an effective teaching environment, and a teacher-didactist, will reduce a part of unjustified functional workload of the latter.Practical significance. The materials of the undertaken research have significant implications for further development of perceptions of the essence and content of digital didactics; justification and formation of optimal conditions for digitalisation of vocational education, including psychological and pedagogical adjustment of the system of training and retraining of pedagogical and managerial personnel for the digital economy
