Published: February 2023

Abstract. The Korea–United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) campaign
is a joint study between the United States National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) and the South Korea National Institute of
Environmental Research (NIER) to monitor megacity and transboundary air
pollution around the Korean Peninsula using airborne and ground-based
measurements. Here, tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) slant column
density (SCD) measurements were retrieved from Geostationary Trace and
Aerosol Sensor Optimization (GeoTASO) L1B data during the KORUS-AQ campaign
(2 May to 10 June 2016). The retrieved SCDs were converted to tropospheric
vertical column densities using the air mass factor (AMF) obtained from a
radiative transfer calculation with trace gas profiles and aerosol property
inputs simulated with the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model and
surface reflectance data obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS). For the first time, we examine highly resolved
(250 m × 250 m resolution) tropospheric NO2 over the Seoul and
Busan metropolitan regions and the industrial region of Anmyeon. We reveal
that the maximum NO2 vertical column densities (VCDs) were 4.94×1016 and 1.46×1017 molec. cm−2 at 09:00 and 15:00 LT over Seoul,
respectively, 6.86×1016 and 4.89×1016 molec. cm−2 in the morning and afternoon over Busan, respectively,
and 1.64×1016 molec. cm−2 over Anmyeon. The VCDs
retrieved from the GeoTASO airborne instrument were correlated with those
obtained from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) (r=0.48), NASA's
Pandora Spectrometer System (r=0.91), and NO2 mixing ratios
obtained from in situ measurements (r=0.07 in the morning, r=0.26 in
the afternoon over the Seoul, and r>0.56 over Busan). Based on
our results, GeoTASO is useful for identifying NO2 hotspots and their
spatial distribution in highly populated cities and industrial areas.
Assessing sensitivities of climate model weighting to multiple methods, variables, and domains in the south-central United States
Authors: Wootten Adrienne M. , Massoud Elias C. , Waliser Duane E. , Lee Huikyo
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Given the increasing use of climate projections and multi-model
ensemble weighting for a diverse array of applications, this project
assesses the sensitivities of climate model weighting strategies and their
resulting ensemble means to multiple components, such as the weighting
schemes, climate variables, or spatial domains of interest. The purpose of
this study is to assess the sensitivities associated with multi-model
weighting strategies. The analysis makes use of global climate models from
the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) and their
statistically downscaled counterparts created with the localized constructed
analogs (LOCA) method. This work focuses on historical and projected future
mean precipitation and daily high temperatures of the south-central United
States. Results suggest that the model weights and the corresponding
weighted model means can be sensitive to the weighting strategy that is
applied. For instance, when estimating model weights based on Louisiana
precipitation, the weighted projections show a wetter and cooler
south-central domain in the future compared to other weighting strategies.
Alternatively, for example, when estimating model weights based on New
Mexico temperature, the weighted projections show a drier and warmer
south-central domain in the future. However, when considering the entire
south-central domain in estimating the model weights, the weighted future
projections show a compromise in the precipitation and temperature
estimates. As for uncertainty, our matrix of results provided a more certain
picture of future climate compared to the spread in the original model
ensemble. If future impact assessments utilize weighting strategies, then
our findings suggest that how the specific weighting strategy is used with
climate projections may depend on the needs of an impact assessment or
adaptation plan.
Technical note: In situ U–Th–He dating by 4He/3He laser microprobe analysis
Authors: Vermeesch Pieter , Tian Yuntao , Schwanethal Jae , Buret Yannick
Published: February 2023

Abstract. In-situ U–Th–He geochronology is a potentially disruptive technique that combines laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with laser microprobe noble gas mass spectrometry. Despite its potential to revolutionise (detrital) thermochronology, in-situ U–Th–He dating is not widely used, due to persistent analytical challenges. The main issue is that currently used approaches to in-situ dating require that the U, Th and He measurements are expressed in units of molar concentration, in contrast with conventional methods, which use units of molar abundance. Whereas molar abundances can be reliably determined by isotope dilution, accurate concentration measurements are not so easy to obtain. In the absence of matrix-matched U,Th-concentration standards and accurate He-ablation pit measurements, the accuracy of in-situ U–Th–He dates often leaves much to be desired. This paper proposes a solution to this problem, by using proton-induced 3He as a proxy for ablation pit volume, and by pairing samples with a standard of known U–Th–He age. Thus, the U–Th–He age equation can be solved using relative rather than absolute concentration measurements. Pilot experiments show that the new method produces accurate results. However, it is prone to overdispersion, which is attributed to gradients in the proton fluence. These gradients can be measured and their effect can be removed by fixing the geometry of the sample and the standard during the proton irradiation.
Parallelized domain decomposition for multi-dimensional Lagrangian random walk mass-transfer particle tracking schemes

Published: February 2023

Abstract. Lagrangian particle tracking schemes allow a wide range of flow and transport processes to be simulated accurately, but a major challenge is numerically implementing the inter-particle interactions in an efficient manner. This article develops a multi-dimensional, parallelized domain decomposition (DDC) strategy for mass-transfer particle tracking (MTPT) methods in which particles exchange mass dynamically. We show that this can be efficiently parallelized by employing large numbers of CPU cores to accelerate run times. In order to validate the approach and our theoretical predictions we focus our efforts on a well-known benchmark problem with pure diffusion, where analytical solutions in any number of dimensions are well established. In this work, we investigate different procedures for “tiling” the domain in two and three dimensions (2-D and 3-D), as this type of formal DDC construction is currently limited to 1-D. An optimal tiling is prescribed based on physical problem parameters and the number of available CPU cores, as each tiling provides distinct results in both accuracy and run time. We further extend the most efficient technique to 3-D for comparison, leading to an analytical discussion of the effect of dimensionality on strategies for implementing DDC schemes. Increasing computational resources (cores) within the DDC method produces a trade-off between inter-node communication and on-node work.
For an optimally subdivided diffusion problem, the 2-D parallelized algorithm achieves nearly perfect linear speedup in comparison with the serial run-up to around 2700 cores, reducing a 5 h simulation to 8 s, while the 3-D algorithm maintains appreciable speedup up to 1700 cores.
Constraining the carbon cycle in JULES-ES-1.0
Authors: McNeall Douglas , Robertson Eddy , Wiltshire Andy
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Land surface models are an important tool in the study of climate change and its impacts, but their use can be hampered by uncertainties in input parameter settings and by errors in the models. We apply Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) techniques to constrain the input parameters of JULES-ES-1.0, the land surface component of the UK Earth system model UKESM1.0. We use an ensemble of historical simulations of the land surface model to rule out ensemble members and corresponding input parameter settings that do not match modern observations of the land surface. As JULES-ES-1.0 is computationally expensive, we use a cheap statistical proxy termed an emulator, trained on the ensemble of model runs, to rule out untested parts of parameter space. We use history matching, an iterated approach to constraining JULES-ES-1.0, running an initial ensemble and training the emulator, before choosing a second wave of ensemble members consistent with historical land surface observations. We rule out 88 % of the initial input parameter space as being statistically inconsistent with observed land surface behaviour. We use sensitivity analysis to identify the most (and least) important input parameters for controlling the global output of JULES-ES-1.0, and provide information on how parameters might be varied to improve the performance of the model and eliminate model biases.
Review article: Potential of nature-based solutions to mitigate hydro-meteorological risks in sub-Saharan Africa

Published: February 2023

Abstract. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is the region most vulnerable to climate change and related hydro-meteorological risks. These risks are exacerbated in rapidly expanding urban areas due to the loss and degradation of green and blue spaces with their regulating ecosystem services. The potential of nature-based solutions (NBSs) to mitigate hydro-meteorological risks such as floods is increasingly recognised in Europe. However, its application in urban areas of SSA still needs to be systematically explored to inform and promote its uptake in this region. We conducted a multidisciplinary systematic review following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol to establish the general patterns in the literature on NBSs and hydro-meteorological risk mitigation in SSA. We searched scientific journal databases, websites of 12 key institutions and 11 NBS databases and identified 45 papers for analysis. We found at least 1 reported NBS in 71 % of urban areas of SSA across 83 locations. Of the papers, 62 % were clustered in South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria only, while the most studied cities were Dar es Salaam and Kampala. Moreover, 66 NBS practices were identified, most of which (n=44) were for flood mitigation. With only Mozambique (n=2) among the most at-risk countries reporting NBSs, we found that NBSs are implemented where risks occur but not where they are most severe. Mangrove restoration (n=10) and wetland restoration (n=7), reforestation (n=10) and urban forests (n=8), and agroforestry (n=3) and conservation agriculture (n=2) were the most common NBS practices identified for floods, extreme-heat and drought mitigation, respectively. Traditional practices that fit the definition of NBSs, such as grass strips and stone bunds, and practices that are more popular in the Global North, such as green roofs and green façades, were also identified. These NBSs also provided ecosystem services, including 15 regulatory, 5 provisioning and 4 cultural ecosystem services, while 4 out of every 5 NBSs created livelihood opportunities. We conclude that the reported uptake of NBSs for hydro-meteorological risks in SSA is low. However, there could be more NBSs, especially at the local level, that are unreported. NBSs can help SSA address major development challenges such as water and food insecurity and unemployment and help the sub-region progress towards climate-resilient development. Therefore, we recommend that NBSs be mainstreamed into urban
planning and knowledge exchange opportunities between SSA and Europe and that
other regions be explored to promote uptake.

Published: February 2023

Edge computing is a modern computer architecture that processes data quickly and efficiently close to its point of origin, hence avoiding slowdowns caused by network latency and capacity limitations. By moving processing power to the network’s perimeter, edge computing decreases the load on central data centers and reduces the time it takes for users to submit data. Therefore, access latency may become a barrier, potentially negating the benefits of edge computing, particularly for applications that need a great deal of data.. Edge computing has some challenges, such as security, incomplete data, investment costs, and maintenance costs. In this research, we undertake a thorough analysis of edge computing, how edge device placement improves performance in IoT networks, compare various edge computing implementations, and explain various difficulties encountered during edge computing implementation. This study aims to promote creative edge-based Internet of Things security design by thoroughly examining existing Internet of Things security solutions at the edge layer and facilitate the dynamic deployment of edge devices.

Authors: Kostadinov Iavor , Shanov Stefan , Karagjuleva Julia
Published: February 2023

The working out of a long-term seismotectonic prognostication map for the value of Mmax in NE Bulgaria is based on a complex of geological, geophysical and seismological characteristics, describing the properties of the medium and the geodynamic situation. Algorithms for pattern recognition by means of the utilized characteristics formalization were applied, namely CORA-3, HAM and HAM with weight coefficients. The new method affords the possibility to divide the investigated territory in zones with different values of Mmax. The final results have been compared with the values presented in prognostication maps prepared by other methods – by means of SSZ and interval expert assessments approximation. Forecasted values lower than the existing ones were obtained in some regions. According to the seismotectonic prognostication the area of NE Bulgaria has been divided into districts. Three hazardous zones with higher potential seismic activity have been distinguished and characterized: the Gorna Orjahovitsa, Shoumen and Kaliakra ones. In the remaining part of the territory comparatively weak earthquakes are likely to be generated (M < 4).
Contribution to the elucidation of pre-Alpine evolution in Bulgaria (based on Sedimentological data from the marine Paleozoic)
Authors: Yanev Slavcho
Published: February 2023

Marine sediments of the slightly metamorphosed Paleozoic (Cambrian – Lower Ordovician?), Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian have been characterized on the basis of main sections and of quantitative rock content investigations. The subduction and formation of the volcanic island arc had taken place before the Arenigian when the regarded lands were situated far to the south of the Balkan Peninsula. The foundation of the Bulgarian territories has a collage structure. Since the Arenigian an outlying sea had been formed as a vast basin with hemipelagic to pelate sedimentation and stages and zones of shallows and displayed marine streams, Humocky type stratification and even ceased sedimentation before the Silurian. During the Givetian the marginal basin had been transformed, the southern part being turned into an active continental edge, while the northern one kept the character of a passive part of the marginal basin. In the active area of the basin a system of a frontal arc, interarc basin, back arc and backarc basin was formed in the SW-NE direction. During the Sudetian events the most important stage of crust continentalization took place, accompanied by incorporation of granitoids and Alpine type Variscan orogeny (over the former arc) and Jurassic type folded lower region (over the former back sea). At the concluding stage of the Variscan development (Carboniferous – Permian) a collison occurred between the island arc and the young mobile platform, joined in collage manner to the Russian plate.
Lithostratigraphy and formation conditions of Maastrichtian – Paleocene deposits in Krumovgrad District
Authors: Goranov Aleksander , Atanasov Georgi
Published: February 2023

A formal lithostratigraphy of the Maastrichtian – Paleocene deposits in Krumovgrad district is worked out. Krumovgrad Group with two formations is distinguished: Šavar breccia Formation and Kandilka sandstone-conglomerate Formation. The formation of the rocks in the Krumovgrad Group in graben structures is a result of a collision compression coinciding in time with Laramian phase. The specific tectonic regime of the formation of those rocks predetermined the formation of a thick colluvial-prolluvial train, which consists of coarse-terrigenous and lake-marshy freshwater sediments. The newly obtained data allow to view in a different light the origin and development of the East Rhodope Paleogene Depression. Its beginning is considered to be in Maastrichtian – Paleocene, while it could be called East Rhodope Maastrichtian – Paleogene Depression.

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, difficult differentiation from the epithelial neoplasm
Authors:   Department of Diagnostic Pathology, Hachioji Medical Center, Tokyo Medical University, Japan., Uchiyama Atsushi
Published: February 2023

rimary Mediastinal Large B-Cell Lymphoma (PMBL) is a rare neoplasm that arises in the mediastinum, and then forms a mass. A female in 50s noticed malaise of right upper limb and a firm lump in the right clavicular region. After consulting with a nearby doctor, she was introduced to our medical center. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a giant mass (12 x 7 x 6 cm) in the anterior and superior mediastinum with expansion to the right supraclavicular fossa. Microscopic examinations of a biopsy specimen led to a diagnosis of PMBL. Methotrexate with Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, Prednisolone and Bleomycin (MACOP-B) chemotherapy was given as well as rituxan. Although CT scanning show a marked reduction in size, the tumor remained and radiation therapy was added. Two years later, the patient was transferred to our medical center, though died due to cardiac arrest. From the initial symptoms to death was approximately three years. Touch smear cytology results showed tumor cells present in loose aggregates, though some clusters had a tight aggregation, suggesting epithelial cells. The tumor cells showed abundant and clear cytoplasm, with round nuclei containing nucleoli, and numerous lymphoglandular bodies were also seen. Cells of tight in tight aggregates expressed CD20, in immunocytochemical results, and an epithelial neoplasm was ruled out.

Authors: Moreno-Navas Araceli , Gómez-Luque Irene , Tudela Julio
Published: February 2023

La infección por el virus del papiloma humano (VPH) constituye la causa necesaria, aunque no suficiente, de la enfermedad de transmisión sexual más frecuente en el mundo, responsable del 4,5 % de todos los cánceres en ambos sexos. La vacunación frente al VPH, con niveles de eficacia y seguridad similares en ambos sexos, está dirigida básicamente a mujeres, para reducir la incidencia de infección y sus consecuencias, como el cáncer de cérvix. La transmisibilidad del virus en ambos sexos y la inmunidad colectiva que proporciona la vacunación universal hace que su extensión al sexo masculino constituya una cuestión no solo de salud pública, sino también un dilema bioético relacionado con la protección de la salud y la equitativa distribución de los recursos. Este trabajo aborda el análisis bioético de la extensión de la vacunación contra VPH a ambos sexos.

Published: February 2023

Both Shakespeare and Milton have had an important influence upon modern Chinese literature since the 1830s. Based on the rich sources recently accessible in Chinese and English databases, this article reconsiders the two writers’ impact on modern China, especially in the indigenization of the sonnet, the rise of huaju (spoken drama), and the Chinese adoption of the epic. In a sense, the two English literary masters have helped to shape modern China by participating actively in the decisive transformation of Chinese literature and culture.

El presente artículo propone abordar la trayectoria de Alberto Ezcurra Uriburu (1937-1993) durante sus años de sacerdocio en el Seminario de Paraná. Esta faceta ha sido escasamente explorada por la historiografía y por la sociología histórica, más orientadas a estudiar su etapa tacuarista que su época de seminarista.Esta mirada supone reconstruir los vínculos institucionales y las redes personales que encarnan la sociabilidad. La trayectoria de este clérigo, además de dar cuenta de sus tensiones, producciones y apropiaciones, es una lente que nos posibilitará abordar de manera exploratoria la conformación de un tipo particular de sociabilidad, que podríamos caracterizar de tradicionalista católica. La misma se fue articulando y desplegando en el Seminario de Paraná durante el arzobispado de Adolfo Tortolo (1963-1983). Este período se caracterizó por importantes transformaciones para el catolicismo, como consecuencia del ConcilioVaticano II (1962-1965), pero también por la emergencia de procesos de radicalización y violencia política que afectaron a miembros de la Iglesia.

With the increasing number of organizations in the XXI century and against a background of rapid changes arising from the globalization process which affect the organizations as a whole, there have been changes in employment relationships, habits and even in the very culture of the organization, triggering conflicts between leaders and their employees. Within the labor world, every profession has its own characteristics and peculiarities which deserve special attention, as is the case of professionals working in the Fluvial Merchant Marine. They work on board vessels, in confined spaces, in some cases for several days consecutively, in a total isolated environment where rest itself occurs in the workspace without family or social life. This makes the vessel an atypical place to work which may generate interference with the right organizational climate. The purpose of this paper is to verify the threats and the opportunities of the organizational atmosphere in which the crew of a vessel are inserted, analyzing the well-being and the safety of officers on board. This study was carried out by means of the results obtained from a questionnaire applied to the river sailors and its comparison with the organizational climate seen in situ.
The System of Grammatical Categories of the Verb in Kazakh, Russian, and English

Published: February 2023

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the fact that the verb is a part of speech that expresses the grammatical meaning of an action, so there is a sign of a dynamic flow in time. The verb is the only part of speech that has analytical forms. The specificity of a verb is a dependent grammatical meaning that binds verbs concerning an action. They do not contain the semantics of the restriction in the action that they denote, their boundary can be considered as defined from the outside, but not as a result of the verb semantics. The purpose is to consider and compare the system of grammatical categories of the verb in Kazakh, Russian, and English. The following methods were used: linguistic, comparative, and structural. The basic unit of grammar is the grammatical category. It combines grammatical forms with a single grammatical meaning. Whole, homogeneous, and opposite grammatical forms of a particular language are called a paradigm. When analysing categories, it is especially important to consider the unity of semantic and formal plans: if there is no plan, then this phenomenon cannot be classified. Grammatical categories of each language can be a kind of questionnaire for describing objects and situations in that language.

As Fake News têm sido uma nova barreira no convívio social. A disseminação de notícias falsas tem como consequência ataques injustos e incitações caluniosas com efeitos devastadores e heterogêneos no campo da política, da economia e da vida pessoal de pessoas comuns e autoridades. O caos é instaurado e a barbárie social instituída de forma a prejudicar a democracia, colocando em rota de colisão direitos constitucionais de igual importância como o direito de informação e a liberdade de expressão e de outro lado o direito à imagem e à privacidade. Este artigo, em um viés crítico-dogmático busca refletir sobre as consequências e responsabilidades a serem impostas àqueles que utilizam maliciosamente o instrumento de difusão da informação. Tema recorrente na doutrina pátria e no direito comparado, a pesquisa doutrinária utilizará o método empírico dialético, apontando possíveis soluções para remediar tão pernicioso movimento de ataque aos princípios constitucionais que balizam o Estado de Direito. O Poder Judiciário deve garantir acesso à justiça não somente permitindo a reparação do dano e a criminalização do agente, mas possibilitando às vítimas o direito de resposta eficiente.
IN(TER)DEPENDÊNCIA ENTRE AS ESFERAS DE RESPONSABILIZAÇÃO: convergência entre as esferas de responsabilização da Samarco pelo rompimento da Barragem de Fundão
Authors: Gonçalves Ferreira Maria Luísa Brasil , Costa Beatriz Souza
Published: February 2023

O objetivo do artigo foi o de analisar a possibilidade de convergência entre as esferas cível, criminal e administrativa para responsabilização da empresa Samarco Mineração S/A pelo rompimento da Barragem de Fundão, em 05 de novembro de 2015. O estudo apresentou as dimensões de responsabilização e as medidas tomadas pelos órgãos competentes em desfavor da empresa. A independência entre as esferas deve ser respeitada enquanto princípio constitucional, mas subsiste a necessidade de um mínimo grau de convergência entre as instâncias, considerando o objetivo comum de tutela do direito fundamental ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado e à sadia qualidade de vida. O trabalho concluiu que as ações judiciais e procedimento administrativo atuam sobre o mesmo fato e buscam a responsabilização dos responsáveis de forma independente, mas que deve existir um grau de convergência entre as esferas buscando diminuir os custos das investigações e possibilitar a razoável duração do processo. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa foi dedutiva, analítica, dogmática e comparativa e foram consultadas legislação nacional e estadual, textos bibliográficos específicos, autos de infração e decisões judiciais proferidas na ação penal e nas ações civis públicas, além de documentos disponibilizados nos sites do Ministério Público Federal e do IBAMA.

Com este artigo, buscamos homenagear a pesquisadora Carlota da Silveira Ferreira, colaboradora da obra Atlas Prévio dos Falares Baianos - APFB (ROSSI, 1963) e uma das autoras do Atlas Linguístico de Sergipe - ALS (FERREIRA et al., 1987). A relevância desses atlas é reconhecida e constantemente relembrada nas pesquisas dialetológicas: o APFB, por ser a obra pioneira dos estudos geolinguísticos no Brasil, e o ALS, quarto atlas publicado, que é uma extensão e aperfeiçoamento dos métodos aplicados e apreendidos na elaboração do APFB. Ademais, reservamos um tópico em que discorremos sobre a importância do Projeto ALiB, iniciativa que, além de apresentar a materialização do Atlas Linguístico do Brasil - ALiB (CARDOSO et al., 2014), tem desempenhado a missão de incentivar estudantes para pesquisas dialetológicas, permitindo a elaboração de trabalhos acadêmicos baseados no corpus inédito. Dessa forma, os dados coletados nos pontos da rede do ALiB referentes à Região Nordeste subsidiaram o corpus deste trabalho, a partir das respostas dadas à Questão 198. Rotatória/Rótula do campo semântico “Vida Urbana” (Questionário Semântico-Lexical do ALiB), cujo objetivo é descrever as variantes nordestinas no que tange ao polimorfismo da área e as possíveis descobertas acerca da predominância de uma forma sobre as outras na área analisada.

Background:

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common orthopaedic procedure, after which many patients benefit from physical therapy (PT). However, such services may not be uniformly accessible and used. To that end, disparities in access to care such as PT after interventions may be a factor for those of varying race/ethnicities.

Methods:

TKAs were abstracted from the 2014 to 2016 Standard Analytic Files PearlDiver data set—a large national health administrative data set containing information on more than 60 million Medicare patients. Occurrences of home or outpatient PT within 90 days after TKA were identified. Patient demographic factors were extracted, including age, sex, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, estimated average household income of patient based on zip code (low average household income [<75k/year] or high average household income [>75k/year]), and patient race/ethnicity (White, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, Black, or Other). Predictive factors for PT utilization were determined and compared with univariate and multivariate analyses.

Results:

Of 23,953 TKA patients identified, PT within 90 days after TKA was used by 18,837 (78.8%). Patients self-identified as White (21,824 [91.1%]), Black (1,250 [5.2%]), Hispanic (268 [1.1%]), Asian (241 [1.0%]), Native American (90 [0.4%]), or “Other” (280 [1.2%]) and were of low household income (19,957 [83.3%]) or high household income (3,994 [16.7%]). When controlling for age, sex, and ECI, PT was less likely to be received by those of low household income (relative to high household income OR 0.79) or by those of defined race/ethnicity (relative to White or Black OR 0.81, Native American OR 0.58, Asian OR 0.50, or Hispanic OR 0.44) (P < 0.05 for each).

Discussion:

In a large Medicare data set, disparities in utilization of PT after TKA were identified based on patient's estimated household income and race/ethnicity. Identification of such factors may help facilitate the expansion of care to meet the needs of all groups adequately.

Published: February 2023

Bernese periacetabular osteotomy has diverse complications associated with incisions, such as dehiscence, hypertrophy, depression, and hyperpigmentation on scars, which affect patient satisfaction. The objective was to evaluate aesthetics and satisfaction outcomes in four different incisions. We evaluated 176 incisions in 148 patients. The incisions performed were the original modified (16, group I), straight and shortened, (64, group II), “Z” shaped (16, group III), and oblique inguinal (48, group IV). The scars were evaluated for width and length, development of a hypertrophic scar, depression or hyperpigmentation, and dehiscence and resuture. A scale of satisfaction was applied (points ranging from 1 to 10). The Bartlett test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used. The mean width and length of the scars were 20.3 and 6.8 cm for group I, 6.5 and 8.1 for group II, 12.1 and 7.1 cm for group III, 13 and 1.4 cm for group IV, respectively. Hypertrophic scars were found in 18% in group I, 12.5% in group II, and 31.2% in group III. Depressed scars were found in 10.8% in group I and 7.1% in group II. Hyperpigmentation was found in 16% in groups I and II, 37% in group III, and 2% in group IV. Dehiscence was found in 8.1% in group I and 8.9% in group II. Satisfaction for group IV was nine points. The difference in length and width and satisfaction were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The oblique inguinal incision (group IV) showed a smaller percentage of complications, with an adequate aesthetic result, and a high grade of patient's satisfaction.

Published: February 2023

Introduction:

The association of preoperative narcotic use with postoperative outcomes after primary elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has remained poorly characterized. The NarxCare platform analyzes patients' state Prescription Drug Monitoring Program records to assign numerical scores that approximate a patient's overall opioid usage. The present study investigated the utility of admission NarxCare narcotic scores in predicting the odds of adverse events (AEs) after primary elective TKA.

Methods:

Elective primary TKA patients performed at a single institution between October 2017 and May 2020 were evaluated. NarxCare narcotic scores at the time of admission, patient characteristics, 30-day AEs, readmissions, revision surgeries, and mortality were abstracted. Elective TKA patients were binned based on admission NarxCare narcotic scores. The odds of experiencing adverse outcomes were compared.

Results:

In total, 1136 patients met the criteria for inclusion in the study (Narx Score 0: n = 293 [25.8%], 1 to 99: n = 253 [22.3%], 100 to 299: n = 368 [32.4%], 300 to 499: n = 161 [14.2%], and 500+: n = 61 [5.37%]). By logistic regression, patients with higher admission narcotic scores tended to have a dose-dependent increase in the odds of prolonged length of hospital stay, readmission within 30 days, and aggregated AEs.

Discussion:

Admission narcotic scores may be used to predict readmission and to stratify TKA patients by risk of AEs.
Bilateral Calcaneus Transfers for the Treatment of Congenital Tibial Deficiencies: A Novel Surgical Technique and Case Report
Authors: Fang William H. , Thomas Evelyn , Fan Juston , Leis Amber R. , Rosenfeld Samuel R.
Published: February 2023

Tibial deficiency (also known as tibial hemimelia) is a rare condition with variable presentation. A 2-month-old patient presented with absent bilateral tibias. When the patient was 1 year, a novel reconstructive surgery was done. A bilateral fibular resection with pedicled calcaneus transfer was done, allowing for transfer of the calcaneus along with the overlying glabrous skin and soft tissues to the end of the femur. The patient was permitted to weight-bear after the 4-week postoperative follow-up. At the six-month follow-up, the patient was able to pull to stand and walk with assistance without any reports of pain.

Introduction:

Physician rating websites (PRWs) are an increasingly popular interface between patient and surgeon. Despite the growing popularity of PRWs, little guidance exists for orthopaedic surgeons regarding online reviews. We analyzed online ratings and comments to provide a better understanding of patients' values and expectations so that surgeons can tailor their practice accordingly to enhance their clinical care and online reputation.

Methods:

Three common PRWs (Vitals, HealthGrades, and RateMDs) were queried from January 1, 2006, to May 18, 2020. Publicly available ratings, both quantitative (1 to 5 stars) and qualitative (free text comments), were collected. Comments were qualitatively tabulated as having positive or negative assessments for categories including outcome, personality, staff, surgical skill, visit time, bedside manner, wait time, diagnosis, knowledge, treatment, and advanced practice providers and analyzed using chi square goodness of fit. Quantitative comparisons of star ratings were made across surgeon years in practice, sex, practice setting, and PRW and compared using chi square independence testing.

Results:

In total, 81% of patient comments were found to have a positive assessment. Comments regarding outcome (P < 0.001), staff (P = 0.001), surgical skill (P < 0.001), or knowledge (P = 0.001) were more likely to be positive. Reviews regarding bedside manner (P < 0.001), wait time (P < 0.001), diagnosis (P < 0.001), treatment (P < 0.001), or advanced practice providers (P < 0.001) were more likely to be negative. Surgeon sex was not associated with a difference in quantitative ratings (P = 0.131), unlike practice setting (P < 0.001) and PRW (P < 0.001).

Discussion:

PRWs are a growing interface between surgeon and patient with a considerable effect on surgeon marketability. This study reveals a statistical association between certain patient-centered medical practices and positive patient reviews. This emphasizes the importance of ensuring that high standards are maintained throughout a physician's practice of maintaining a constant awareness of the fundamentals for effective patient care and of taking care to curate a physician's online presence.

Published: February 2023

Background:

The associations of orthopaedic social media metrics with US News & World Report (USNWR) scores have not been well defined and are the focus of this study.

Methods:

Orthopaedic surgery departments and residency programs were matched to the USNWR overall orthopaedic score and professional opinion subscore. Corresponding Instagram and Twitter accounts were evaluated for the number of followers, number following, and posts. Correlations between these metrics and rank/reputation were assessed. Pearson correlations and Student t tests were used with significance set at P < 0.05.

Results:

Of the 192 departments associated with residency programs, there were social media accounts for 150 (78.1%) and USNWR rankings for 186 (96.9%), with an overlap of 147 (76.6%). Instagram accounts were identified for 138 (93.9%) and Twitter accounts for 85 (57.8%). Correlations were highest for the opinion subscore and number of followers (Instagram department R = 0.894, Instagram residency R = 0.338, Twitter department R = 0.808, and Twitter residency R = 0.878, P < 0.001 for each), less for the number of posts (Instagram department R = 0.590, Twitter department R = 0.521, and Twitter residency R = 0.696, P < 0.001 for each).

Conclusion:

Social media metrics correlated with USNWR scores. Focusing on such social media platforms may help further the reputation, audience engagement, and ranking of orthopaedic departments and residencies.
