The Global Rate of Post-Stroke Aphasia
Authors: Frederick Ayanna , Jacobs Molly , Adams-Mitchell Candice J. , Ellis Charles
Published: September 2022

Purpose:

Aphasia is a devastating communication disorder that negatively impacts an individual's ability to engage in society. Despite the frequent occurrence after stroke, little is known about the frequency that aphasia occurs worldwide. To date, reports of aphasia have primarily emerged from high-income countries. This review explores the frequency of aphasia worldwide.

Method:

An integrative review examined rates of aphasia from 2000 to 2021. We primarily identified stroke studies that reported the number or percentage of participants with aphasia. Secondly, we identified journals that frequently published studies of stroke that included individuals with aphasia. This was supplemented by a country + stroke + aphasia via Google and Google Scholar search to identify those studies primarily focused on stroke outcomes that potentially reported the percentage of individuals with aphasia.

Results:

Seventy-five articles from 43 different countries published between 2000 and 2021 reported presence of aphasia in 7%–77% of all individuals with stroke. Rates were similar between high- and middle-income countries; however, no studies were identified from low-income countries.

Conclusions:

Rates of reported aphasia are highly variable and likely reflect different diagnostic approaches and timing of identification of the condition. Understanding differences in the presence of aphasia among stroke survivors across countries is critical in the effort to advocate for the resources needed to improve long-term outcomes.

Control of switched systems with delayed states: A direct AFSMC approach
Authors: Markazi Amir Hossein Davaie , Khodadadi Mohsen
Published: September 2022

This research focuses on controlling a class of MIMO state‐delayed nonlinear systems with switching conditions that depend on the delayed states. The key concept is to consider the dynamic changes brought by switching between sub‐systems as an uncertainty bounded by a certain polynomial of the delayed states norm. The challenge of managing a delayed switched system is changed to the simpler problem of controlling a delayed non‐switched system via an extended AFSMC approach with just one sliding surface. New adaptation laws are proposed within the general framework of the direct AFSMC scheme to estimate unknown coefficients of the uncertainty bound polynomial and parameters of a central fuzzy controller, which mimics the behavior of a feedback linearized controller in the conventional SMC approach. Using the method of multiple lyapunov‐krasovskii functions (MLKF), closed‐loop stability is proven. Several examples are elaborated to show the effectiveness of the method compared to the previously proposed no‐delay AFSMC method and also to the conventional feedback linearization approach. In particular, the proposed control scheme is applied to a benchmark high‐speed super cavitation underwater vehicle. The efficacy of the proposed method is depicted, while minimal information about the plant dynamics is needed in the control design stage.

Osteosynthese bei proximalen Femurfrakturen – Wie entscheidend sind Reposition und die Wahl des Implantats?
Authors: Gathen Martin , Burger Christof , Kasapovic Adnan , Kabir Koroush
Published: September 2022

Proximale Femurfrakturen sind häufige und gleichsam komplexe Verletzungen, die einer zeitnahen Versorgung bedürfen. Ziel der operativen Therapie ist stets die rasche Wiederherstellung einer schmerzfreien und belastungsstabilen Extremität. Betroffen sind meist ältere, multimorbide Patienten mit einer hohen postoperativen Komplikations- und Mortalitätsrate. Bei gleichzeitig steigender Inzidenz besteht eine hohe medizinische und volkswirtschaftliche Relevanz der Thematik. In dieser Arbeit soll anhand der aktuellen Literatur die Reposition und Implantatwahl bei der Osteosynthese von proximalen Femurfrakturen in Abhängigkeit von der Frakturmorphologie untersucht werden. Zur Standardversorgung gehören neben der Schraubenosteosynthese (SO) die Versorgung mit einer Dynamischen Hüftschraube (DHS) und die intramedulläre Nagelosteosynthese (IN). Des Weiteren wird der Einfluss der Implantatpositionierung, Frakturreposition und additiver Maßnahmen wie einer Zementaugmentation auf das
Ergebnis bewertet und diskutiert. Vorrangig für die Vermeidung von Komplikationen sind eine sorgsame Frakturreposition und die regelhafte Implantatpositionierung.
Pharmacological and Toxicological Study of Coumarinolignoids from Cleome viscosa in Small Animals for the Management of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Published: September 2022

This study aims to explore the possible pharmacological potential of Cleome viscosa Linn (Cleomaceae), an annual weed, into therapeutic value-added products. In the present study, we
have explored the pharmacological and toxicological profile of coumarinolignoids isolated from Cleome viscose for the management of rheumatoid arthritis and related complications in a
small animal model. To avoid the biasness during experiments on animals, we have coded the isolated coumarinolignoids as CLIV-92 to perform the experimental pharmacological study.
CLIV-92 was orally administrated (30,100, 300 mg/kg) to animal models of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), carrageenan-induced acute inflammation, thermal and chemical-induced pain,
and Brewerʼs yeast-induced pyrexia. Oral administration of CLIV-92 significantly decreases the arthritis index, arthritis score, and increases the limb withdrawal threshold in the CIA
model in experimental rats. The anti-arthritis studies revealed that the anti-inflammatory effect of CLIV-92 was associated with inhibition of the production of inflammatory mediators
like TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17A, MMP-1, MMP-9, Nitric oxide, and C-RP in CIA ratʼs serum, and also reduced the NFкB-p65 expression as evidence of immunohistochemistry in knee joint
tissue of CIA rats, in a dose-dependent manner. Further individual experiments related to arthritis-related complications in experimental animals demonstrated the analgesic,
anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic potential of CLIV-92 in a dose-dependent manner. Further, an in-vivo acute oral toxicity study concluded that CLIV-92 is safe in
experimental animals up to 2,000 mg/kg dose. The results of this study suggested that the oral administration of CLIV-92 may be a therapeutic candidate for further investigation in
the management of rheumatoid arthritis and related complications.

Ziel Unsere Studie untersuchte den Effekt dauerhafter gesundheitlicher
Beeinträchtigungen auf das arbeitsbezogene Inklusionserleben.

Methodik Über einen Online-Fragenbogen erfassten wir dazu das
Inklusionserleben Arbeitnehmender (1807 mit und 540 ohne
Beeinträchtigungen) und identifizierten durch Propensity-Score-Matching
passende Paare.

Ergebnisse Arbeitnehmende mit Beeinträchtigungen gaben ein
geringeres Inklusionserleben an als ihre gematchten Paare ohne
Beeinträchtigungen, jedoch nur dann, wenn sie ihre
Arbeitstätigkeit als stark eingeschränkt oder ihre
Beeinträchtigung als stark stigmatisiert erlebten.
Einschränkungen und Stigmata erwiesen sich dabei als voneinander
unabhängige negative Prädiktoren für das
Inklusionserleben.

Schlussfolgerung Unsere Ergebnisse legen einen Bedarf an Maßnahmen
zur Verbesserung des arbeitsbezogenen Inklusionserlebens von Menschen mit
dauerhaften gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen nahe. Solche
Maßnahmen sollten sowohl auf die Optimierung von Arbeitsplatzanpassungen
als auch auf die Änderung leistungsbezogener sozialer Normen in
Organisationen und stereotyper Vorannahmen über Arbeitnehmende mit
dauerhaften gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen abzielen.
Narzisstische Persönlichkeitsstörung und Sucht
Authors: Moesgen Diana , Klein Michael
Published: September 2022

Über ein Drittel der Betroffenen mit einer narzisstischen Persönlichkeitsstörung weist eine komorbide Substanzgebrauchstörung auf. Die Gründe für das häufige gemeinsame Auftreten beider Störungsbilder hängen u. a. mit den typischen Merkmalen der narzisstischen Persönlichkeitsstörung zusammen. Zur Behandlung der Komorbidität der narzisstischen Persönlichkeitsstörung und der Substanzgebrauchsstörung bestehen unterschiedliche Ansätze. Empohlen werden kann eine zweischrittige Behandlung im Sinne der Klärungsorientierten Psychotherapie: Während die erste Phase vor allem dem Aufbau von Abstinenzmotivation und der Stabilisierung der Abstinenz dient, fokussiert die zweite Phase auf die Behandlung der narzisstischen Persönlichkeitsstörung, von der anzunehmen ist, dass sie die Substanzgebrauchsstörung (mit-)versursacht hat und aufrecht erhält.
Investigation of Alkyl–Aryl Interactions Using the Azobenzene Switch – The Influence of the Electronic Nature of Aromatic London Dispersion Donors
Authors: Schatz Dominic , Kunz Anne , Wegner Hermann A. , Raab Aileen R.
Published: September 2022

Herein we report the synthesis of nonsymmetrically substituted azobenzene derivatives with meta-alkyl substituents on one side and meta-aryl moieties with electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups on the other side. The half-lives for the thermal (Z)- to (E)-isomerization of these molecules were measured in n-octane, which allows investigation of the strength of the aryl–alkyl interactions between their substituents. It was found that the London dispersion donor strength of the alkyl substrate is the decisive factor in the observed stabilization, whereas the electronic structure of the aryl fragment does not influence the isomerization in a significant way.

Authors: Turer Robert W. , Martin Katherine R. , Courtney Daniel Mark , Diercks Deborah B. , Chu Ling , Willett DuWayne L. , Thakur Bhaskar , Hughes Amy , Lehmann Christoph U. , McDonald Samuel A.
Published: September 2022

Objectives We characterized real-time patient portal test result viewing among emergency department (ED) patients and described patient characteristics overall and among those not enrolled in the portal at ED arrival.

Methods Our observational study at an academic ED used portal log data to trend the proportion of adult patients who viewed results during their visit from May 04, 2021 to April 04, 2022. Correlation was assessed visually and with Kendall's τ. Covariate analysis using binary logistic regression assessed result(s) viewed as a function of time accounting for age, sex, ethnicity, race, language, insurance status, disposition, and social vulnerability index (SVI). A second model only included patients not enrolled in the portal at arrival. We used random forest imputation to account for missingness and Huber-White heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors for patients with multiple encounters (α = 0.05).

Results There were 60,314 ED encounters (31,164 unique patients). In 7,377 (12.2%) encounters, patients viewed results while still in the ED. Patients were not enrolled for portal use at arrival in 21,158 (35.2%) encounters, and 927 (4.4% of not enrolled, 1.5% overall) subsequently enrolled and viewed results in the ED. Visual inspection suggests an increasing proportion of patients who viewed results from roughly 5 to 15% over the study (Kendall's τ = 0.61 [p <0.0001]). Overall and not-enrolled models yielded concordance indices (C) of 0.68 and 0.72, respectively, with significant overall likelihood ratio χ
2 (p <0.0001). Time was independently associated with viewing results in both models after adjustment. Models revealed disparate use between age, race, ethnicity, SVI, sex, insurance status, and disposition groups.

Conclusion We observed increased portal-based test result viewing among ED patients over the year since the 21st Century Cures act went into effect, even among those not enrolled at arrival. We observed disparities in those who viewed results.
ERCP for bile duct stones across a national service, demonstrating a high requirement for repeat procedures
Authors: Martin Harry , Sturgess Richard , Mason Neil , Ceney Adam , Carter Jodi , Barca Lilith , Holland James , Swift Simon , Webster George J.
Published: September 2022

Background and study aims Bile duct stones (BDS) represent approximately 50 % of the requirement for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) within most services. Significant variation in outcome rates for BDS clearance at ERCP has been reported, and endoscopy societies have set standards for expected clearance rates. The aim of this study was to analyze procedure outcomes across a national service.

Patients and methods Using verified hospital episode statistics (HES) data for the National Health Service (NHS) in England, we analyzed all patients having first ERCPs for BDS from 2015 to 2017, and followed these patients for at least 2 years.

Results In total 37,468 patients underwent a first ERCP for BDS, with 69.8 % undergoing only one procedure. This figure of less than 70 % of BDS cleared at first ERCP is below the Key Performance Indicators as set by the British Society of Gastroenterology (> 75 %) and the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (> 90 %). Of 55,556 ERCPs done for BDS, 52.9 % were repeat procedures, with 11,322 patients needing multiple procedures. For hospitals performing significant numbers of ERCPs (more than 600 for BDS during the study period) patients undergoing repeat ERCPs for BDS ranged from 9 % to 50 %.

Conclusions In this nationwide study, the performance at clearing BDS at first ERCP was suboptimal, with high numbers of repeat procedures required. This may have a negative impact on both patient outcomes and experience, and increase pressure on endoscopy services. Apparent variation of outcome between acute hospital care providers requires further analysis.

Authors: Hack Ivan , Brandalise Alcides , Furlanetto Luciano Marques , Lipp Fernando Bergel , Furian Roque , Nácul Cyrio Luiz , Rota Eduardo Werlang , Muller Rodrigo
Published: September 2022

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis caused by fungi Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidiodes Lutzii. Its distribution is limited to subtropical regions of Central and South America, where it is endemic, and Brazil accounts for ∼ 80% of the reported cases. Even in endemic zones, its incidence is low, ranging from 3 to 4 new cases per million to 1 to 3 new cases per 100 thousand inhabitants per year. Granulomas in the spinal cord are rare, and they account for 0,6% of all cases of systemic PCM. The authors report a case of a woman with crural paraparesis caused by dorsal spinal cord PCM granulomasin T7-T8 and T8-T9, with no evidence of systemic disease. The patient was submitted to microsurgery, with total excision of the lesions, and is experiencing positive neurological recovery. Though rare, PCM intramedullary granulomas must be considered in differential diagnosis of the tumoral expansive process of the spinal cord, especially in patients coming from endemic rural zones.

Introduction Laser uvulopalatoplasty is an established operation for the treatment of snoring with good results on a short-term basis, while long-term follow-up studies, in addition to their scarcity, had conflicting results regarding recurrence, the change of snoring quality, and complications.

Objective To assess the long-term follow-up results of using nonablative 2,940 nm Erbium: YAG for the treatment of snoring regarding outcomes and recurrence.

Methods This 2-year follow-up study was conducted on 76 patients operated upon by non-ablative 2940 nm Erbium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) using a PS01 patterned headpiece. Subjective evaluation of the treatment was performed relying on a smartphone application to record snoring in addition to a questionnaire specially designed to report recurrence and change in the quality of snoring reported by a patient's spouse. The objective evaluation was done by computed tomography (CT) imaging of the soft palate. The patients were evaluated preoperatively, 6 weeks postoperatively and after a 2-year follow-up period.

Results Six week after the procedure, there was a significant improvement in 52 patients (68.4%). Out of the 52 patients, only 43 completed the 2-year follow-up; however, 15 of them complained of recurrence. Nevertheless, the patients who suffered from recurrence showed subjective improvement in snoring quality.

Conclusions The nonablative mode of Erbium: YAG 2,940 nm laser proved to be efficient in soft palate tightening for the management of snoring. However, there was recurrence in 34.8% of the patients who presented objective and subjective improvement of the complaints, 6 weeks postoperatively and after a 2-year follow-up period.

Objectives Consistency of meningioma is important for preoperative planning, surgical resection, and predicting surgical outcomes. We prospectively evaluated the utility of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values to assess the consistency of meningioma.

Methods Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on 23 patients with meningioma before undergoing surgical resection and the average/mean of ADC minimum (ADCmin), maximum (ADCmax), and mean (ADCmean) values were calculated. Intraoperatively, the meningiomas were characterized as firm or soft and correlated with ADC values.

Results ADCmin, ADCmax, and ADCmean values of soft and firm meningiomas were significantly different with a p-value of < 0.05. ADCmin value of < 691.3 × 10−6 mm2/s had 80% sensitivity and 84.6% specificity for identifying firm from the soft tumors with the area under the curve (AUC) = 0.862, p-value of 0.004, positive predictive value (PPV) 80, and negative predictive value (NPV) 84.6. ADCmax value of < 933.6 × 10−6 mm2/s had 70% sensitivity and 84.6% specificity for identifying firm from the soft tumors with AUC = 0.823, p-value of 0.009, PPV 77.8, and NPV 78.6. ADCmean value of < 840.8 × 10−6 mm2/s had 90% sensitivity and 76.9% specificity for identifying firm from the soft tumors with AUC = 0.900, p-value of 0.001, PPV 75, and NPV 90.9.

Conclusion Diffusion-weighted MRI using ADC minimum, ADC maximum, and ADC mean values can be used to differentiate firm from soft meningiomas. Meningiomas with hard consistency showed relatively low ADC values.

Mycobacterium chimaera is a nontuberculous mycobacterium that was identified as causative agent in a global outbreak of severe infections following open-chest cardiothoracic surgery. Heater-cooler units (HCUs), which were contaminated during the manufacturing process, were elucidated as the origin of this outbreak. Regular surveillance of water-containing HCUs used for cardiac surgery was recommended as one preventive measure. We present data on the occurrence of M. chimaera and other mycobacterial pathogens in different HCUs from one surgical center in Germany over a 42-month period. Water samples and swabs from seven different HCUs were taken between 2015 and 2018, and mycobacteria were detected in 50.6% (78/154) of water samples and 21.1% (4/19) of swabs. M. chimaera accounted for the majority of detected pathogens (77/83 isolates in water samples), but other species such as Mycobacterium gordonae were also found. Despite strict adherence to an intensified, regular disinfection procedure, the majority of HCUs remained positive for mycobacteria until the end of the study. In conclusion, additional measures are needed to reduce the risk of intraoperative transmission of M. chimaera, and our observations underscore the inherent infections risks associated with water-containing medical devices.
Do differences in brute luck influence preferences for redistribution in favour of the environment and health?
Authors: Chanel Olivier , Paul Pavitra
Published: September 2022

Redistributive justice is based on the premise that it is unfair for people to be better or worse off relative to others simply because of their fortune or misfortune. It assumes equal opportunities arising from four factors: social circumstances, effort, option luck and brute luck. This paper seeks to investigate how differences in perceived brute luck influence individual preferences for redistribution in favour of two public policies: “health intervention” and “environmental actions”. These policies are viewed somewhat differently: the environment is considered a pure “public good” and health, more as a “private good” with a strong public good element. Consequently, potential self-serving biases inherent in the preferences for redistributive policies are expected to differ, more likely favouring health than the environment. The perceived degree of brute luck may capture such a difference—those perceiving themselves as luckiest should be less amenable to redistribution in favour of health than the unluckiest. Data from the three waves (2000, 2006 and 2008) of a French population survey are used to examine this self-serving bias. A Generalised Ordered Logit (GOL) model is found to be statistically more relevant compared to other logistic regression models (multinomial and ordered). We find that a perceived low degree of brute luck is significantly associated with a decreased preference of redistributive environmental policies but the reverse is true for redistributive health policies, i.e., association with an increased preference. Assuming that all inequalities due to differing luck are unjust, this empirical validation gives redistributive justice grounds for equalisation policies regarding health.
Global existence and the algebraic decay rate of the solution for the quantum Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations in R3
Authors: Tong Leilei , Xia Yi
Published: September 2022

The Cauchy problem of compressible quantum Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations in three-dimensional space is considered in this paper. Under some smallness conditions on the initial data, we derive the existence of the global classical solution near the non-constant steady state by using the energy method. Combining the linear decay rate and the energy method, we also prove the algebraic decay rate of the solution toward the non-constant steady state with a small doping profile.
Two-dimensional plasma density evolution local to the inversion layer during sawtooth crash events using beam emission spectroscopy

We present methods for analyzing Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) data to obtain the plasma density evolution associated with rapid sawtooth crash events at the DIII-D tokamak. BES allows coverage over a 2D spatial plane, inherently local measurements, with fast time responses, and, therefore, provides a valuable new channel for data during sawtooth events. A method is developed to remove sawtooth-induced edge-light pulses contained in the BES data. The edge light pulses appear to be from the Dα emission produced by edge recycling during sawtooth events, and are large enough that traditional spectroscopic filtering and data analysis techniques are insufficient to deduce physically meaningful quantities. A cross-calibration of 64 BES channels is performed by using a novel method to ensure accurate measurements. For the large-amplitude density oscillations observed, we discuss and use the non-linear relationship between the BES signal δI/I0 and the plasma density variation δne/ne0. The 2D BES images cover an 8 × 20 cm2 region around the sawtooth inversion layer and show large-amplitude density oscillations, with additional significant spatial variations across the inversion layer that grows and peaks near the time of the temperature crash. The edge light removal technique and method of converting large-amplitude δI/I0 to δne/ne0 presented here may help analyze other impulsive MHD phenomena in tokamaks.

In-plane standing spin-wave modes in a minute magnetic disk are directly observed by using time-resolved magneto-optical microscopy synchronized with microwaves. The time-resolved microscopy allowed us to obtain snapshots of standing spin-wave modes in a magnetic disk, which show a hourglass-like standing spin wave pattern. We found that the characteristic pattern is caused by spatially nonuniform magnetization and a strong microwave excitation in terms of finite element calculation and micromagnetic simulations. The technique we developed in this work allows us to access magnetization dynamics in microstructured magnets under strong microwave pumping.
Hybrid simulation of Alfvén wave parametric decay instability in a laboratory relevant plasma

Published: September 2022

Large-amplitude Alfvén waves are subject to parametric decays, which can have important consequences in space, astrophysical, and fusion plasmas. Although the Alfvén wave parametric decay instability (PDI) was predicted decades ago, observational evidence is limited, stimulating considerable interest in laboratory demonstration of the instability and associated numerical modeling. Here, we report an important step toward direct hybrid simulation of the Alfvén wave PDI in a laboratory plasma, using antenna-like wave injection of a circularly polarized wave and realistic wave-plasma parameters. Considering collisionless damping, we identify the threshold Alfvén wave amplitudes and frequencies required for triggering the instability. These threshold behaviors are corroborated by simple theoretical analysis, considering the balance between PDI growth and ion Landau damping and PDI development in a bounded plasma. Other effects not included in the present model such as finite transverse wave scale and ion–neutral collisions are briefly discussed. These hybrid simulations promise to be a useful tool for investigating laboratory Alfvén wave dynamics and may provide guidance for future laboratory demonstration of the PDI process.
The influence of edge waves in local surface skimming longitudinal wave generation using a focused PVDF transducer
Authors: Upendran Anoop , Balasubramanian Krishnan
Published: September 2022

Acoustic microscopy is extensively used for high-frequency imaging and material characterization. In a focused ultrasonic transducer, the presence of edge waves from the edge of the transducer is usually considered a disadvantage. For high-frequency imaging applications, the edge waves adversely affect the quality of the image. This paper discusses edge wave's influence on generating a surface wave in bulk metal samples using a limited aperture PVDF transducer. Acoustic microscopy-based defocusing experiments are conducted on aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and brass samples. A detailed wave-path analysis is done to understand the different wave components in a signal as obtained from defocusing experiments. The travel path of each wave component is analytically obtained and compared with the experimental results. The different wave modes observed in the experiments are identified by overlaying the analytical plots on the experimentally obtained B-scans. A good correlation is obtained between the experimental and analytical results. The surface wave velocity of the samples is calculated using the time-resolved method, and the percentage of error in the measurement is estimated. The challenges for using this method in measuring surface wave velocities in samples with bulk longitudinal velocities <5000m/s are also discussed.
