ObjectivePost-acute COVID-19 (or ‘long COVID’) manifests as a wide range of long-lasting symptoms affecting multiple organ systems. We are developing criteria for identifying long COVID cases using administrative, clinical, survey and other data from Manitoba, Canada, with the ultimate goal of examining long COVID prevalence, risk factors, prognosis and recovery.
ApproachGiven the lack of an accepted clinical definition and resulting lack of diagnostic codes, we are adopting several different creative and complementary strategies to identify long COVID cases. We are examining administrative and clinical data sources (laboratory data, physician claims, drug prescriptions, and electronic medical records) for information on positive COVID tests, common symptoms and complaints, and treatment provided. To identify people with long COVID who may not have sought healthcare, we are collecting survey data from a convenience community sample (members of a medical health fitness facility) and mining data on long COVID symptoms from Twitter.
ResultsThe combination of approaches we have adopted and the expanding scientific literature on long COVID are contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the impacts of long COVID in Manitoba. Through preliminary work on the laboratory data (positive COVID tests March 2020-June 2021), we have developed and characterized a COVID-positive cohort (n=47,515). Work is now underway to develop an algorithm for long COVID using symptoms from free text in electronic medical records, ICD-9 codes, and changes in health-seeking behaviour (compared to the pre-positive COVID test period and a matched sample). This population data-driven approach will then allow us to examine how multiple underlying health conditions, COVID illness severity, COVID vaccination status, and various socio-demographic factors are related to risk of long COVID.
ConclusionThis research is generating actionable information by identifying risk factors to support clinical diagnosis of long COVID, making it easier for clinicians to recognize this new illness and develop plans to manage it, and will inform healthcare system planning by quantifying the burden of long COVID at the population level.
Education and social care predictors of offending trajectories: A UK administrative data linkage study.
Authors: Dickson Hannah , Vamvakas George , Blackwood Nigel
Published: September 2022

ObjectivesTotal annual costs of crime in England and Wales is estimated at £50bn.The age-crime curve indicates that criminal behavioural peaks in adolescence and decreases in adulthood.  Life-course persistent offenders begin to behave antisocially early in childhood and continue this behaviour into adulthood. By contrast, adolescent-limited offenders exhibit most of their antisocial behaviour during adolescence, with a minority continuing to offend into adulthood. However, evidence suggests that this curve conceals distinct developmental trajectories. Prospective cohort study data has highlighted distinct risk factors for these offending trajectories, but this research is limited because of small sample sizes for disadvantaged groups, selection bias and infrequency of data collection.
ApproachThe current study began in February 2022 and is one of the first to use UK linked national crime and education records. The aim is to: (1) establish the offending trajectories of individuals between the ages of 10 and 32 years following their first recorded conviction or caution using national crime records; and (2) develop prediction models of these offending trajectories using administrative education and social care data.
ResultsIn my talk, I will share findings on the offending trajectories identified and present some early results on the key education and social care drivers of the offending trajectories.
ConclusionsFindings from the project have the potential to identify previously unknown, or confirm lesser known, offending trajectories using real world data based on the UK population. It may also lead to the detection of previously unknown risk or protective factors for offending, which has implications for early intervention and could help inform criminal justice system responses to early antisocial behaviour.
A proposed approach for standardized reporting of data linkage processes and results.
Authors: Zhao Yinshan , Jarrett Mike , McGail Kimberlyn , Hills Brent
Published: September 2022

ObjectivesPopulation Data BC (PopData) is an agency in British Columbia, Canada, that routinely performs linkages of various administrative and researcher-collected data to a population spine. We developed a linkage report template in order to increase transparency of linkage process and outcome for end users and data providers.
ApproachPopData performs probabilistic and deterministic data linkage using an in-house software. A literature review identified existing guidelines and examples of linkage reporting. A survey collected input from a wide range of end users about their interest in receiving linkage reports and specific information that is important to their work. A draft template was developed by PopData’s linkage experts and data scientists which then was reviewed by PopData staff and external partners. Privacy requirements, mode of delivery, readability to the intended audience and operational feasibility were carefully considered.
ResultsThe resulting template built on our existing internal linkage summaries. The report follows a framework suggested in the literature with three key components: 1) information on the data source and linkage fields, 2) data pre-processing and linkage methodology, and 3) linkage results, presented in tables and figures, including overall linkage rates, detail on matched fields, and the distribution of linkage weights of linked and unliked pairs. In addition, an appendix describes the linkage methods and population spine in detail, and supplementary notes will comment on unique issues related to the data, when those are applicable. Educational materials to aid understanding of linkage methodologies and reporting are also under development.
ConclusionLinked data are increasingly used in research, making it important to provide information on linkage process and performance to the research community. Rigorous and standardized linkage reports produced by data centres can facilitate evaluation of the impact of linkage performance on research findings and enable transparent reporting in peer-reviewed research.

Published: September 2022

ObjectivesTo investigate welfare and health service use among workers with long-duration workers’ compensation claims after workers’ compensation stopped. To identify changes in health and welfare of workers whose compensation benefits ended due to a 260-week limit under s39(1) of the Workers’ Compensation Act New South Wales 2012 legislative amendments, Australia.
ApproachWorkers’ compensation claims from the New South Wales State Insurance Regulatory Authority were linked to records for social security payments, hospital and emergency department admissions, and health professional services. A cohort of 15,258 workers with long-duration workers’ compensation claims (>2 years) were classified based on whether compensation ended due to a 260-week limit (s39 group), or in circumstances where compensation benefits stopped independently of a 260-week limit (injured control group), and are contextualised with a community comparator (N=10,703). Changes in welfare and health service use were examined 12 months preceding, and 12 months following, a final workers’ compensation benefit payment.
ResultsAfter workers’ compensation benefits ceased under a 260-week limit there was a 53% increase in the uptake of social security benefits such as unemployment or disability payments by the s39 group, and levels of hospitalisation remained elevated compared to a community comparator. In contrast, workers whose compensation ended for other reasons, such as returning to work, saw a 28% increase in receipt of social security payments, and coincided with decreased hospitalisation incidence after exiting the workers’ compensation scheme. Overall, receipt of welfare and use of hospital health services after workers’ compensation ended was more common for people aged 65 or older, non-homeowners, single parents, and people living outside major cities. Social security payments were underrepresented for people with compensable psychological injuries, whilst hospitalisation was overrepresented.
ConclusionThe introduction of a 260-week limit on workers’ compensation benefits resulted in a cohort of workers transitioning to the social security system, and did not coincide with a characteristic reduction in hospital service use. Policy changes must recognise interconnected consequences of changes to welfare and health. Transitional supports are encouraged.
Trends in dispensing and utilisation of sustained-release tapentadol in Australia.
Authors: Camacho Ximena , Schaffer Andrea , Buckley Nicholas , Pratt Nicole , Brett Jonathan , Henry David , Pearson Sallie-Anne
Published: September 2022

ObjectivesTapentadol is a µ-opioid agonist, moderate noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (NRI) and very weak serotonin reuptake inhibitor. The sustained release (SR) formulation is indicated for relief of chronic moderate to severe pain. We examined utilisation trends and concordance with prescribing guidelines of prescription SR tapentadol in Australia between 2014-2021.
ApproachWe used a 10% sample of Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme dispensing data linked to death records. We assessed incidence, prevalence, and trends in monthly dispensed prescriptions between June 2014 (date of public subsidy) and September 2021. We defined incident users in adults aged ≥18 years as no tapentadol dispensings in the previous year. We assessed characteristics of initiators and patterns of utilization in the year following initiation, including prescription strengths, concurrent dispensing of tapentadol and medicines with known interactions or contraindications, and switching to other opioids.
Results4,883,840 prescriptions of tapentadol were dispensed during the study period. Total monthly dispensed prescriptions increased from 2,040 (June 2014) to 91,300 (September 2021). The lowest strength formulations (50mg, 100mg) comprised nearly three quarters of all dispensed prescriptions (3,628,400; 74.3%). We identified 66,334 new episodes of tapentadol use. Incidence rose from 0.8/1000 population in 2014 to a high of 8.4/1000 in 2019, dropping to 5.5/1000 in 2020. Most people initiating tapentadol were aged 45-84 years (48,464; 73.1%) and female (37,709; 56.9%). More than half (38,157; 57.5%) did not receive a second tapentadol dispensing within 90 days of initiation. 10,868 (16.4%) were dispensed a non-opioid medicine with known interaction on the same day as initiation, and 23,205 (35.0%) were concurrently dispensed tapentadol and other opioids.
ConclusionThe only approved subsidized indication is tapentadol SR for chronic pain. However, the very high prevalence of single dispensings of tapentadol SR suggests it may be being used off-label for acute pain instead of tapentadol immediate-release; this would be less safe, less effective and also against Australian therapeutic guidelines.

Published: September 2022

Este artigo procura fazer interface da Teologia Litúrgica com a noologia zubiriana. Xavier Zubiri apresenta uma nova compreensão de realidade que o humano alcança pela inteligência senciente. Sendo assim, a essência é um momento da realidade, é uma estrutura interna, um sistema constitutivo de todas as notas necessárias e suficientes para que uma realidade substantiva seja o que é. Esse sistema é uma estrutura e essa estrutura é transcendental. A Liturgia é uma realidade substantiva por isso tem uma estrutura precisa, com suas notas essenciais, e o homem ao se deparar com esta realidade, isto é, ao celebrar, alcança Deus, realidade fundante de toda realidade, que transcende neste real que é a Liturgia.

Published: September 2022

Tourism is one of the leading sectors that makes a huge contribution, especially in the Riau Islands. However, with the Covid-19 pandemic, the number of tourists visiting the Riau Islands dropped significantly, so the government needed to innovate by adopting a travel bubble policy. The purpose of this study was to see how the process of adopting the travel bubble policy in reactivation of the economy and tourism in Bintan Regency, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. The results of this study are from several stages in the policy adoption process, namely the knowledge stage, persuasion stage, decision stage, implementation stage, and confirmation stage of the application of the travel bubble that has not been fully implemented properly and effectively by the government. This study suggests the need for an adoption process in implementing policy innovations, namely the need for knowledge and fast decision-making in the adoption process so that tourism in the Riau Islands is not disturbed by the pandemic. This study has limitations in obtaining data because the travel bubble policy has just been implemented, so further research can continue the policy implementation process.

COVID-19 Pandemic in German Humor
Authors: Manukyan Ya. A. , Trofimova N. A.
Published: September 2022

Verbal means of reflecting the situation of the coronavirus pandemic through the prism of German humor are considered. The relevance of the study is due to the interest of modern language science in the study of discourses as a kind of markers of linguistic consciousness and speech behavior. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that German humorous texts about the pandemic have not yet become the subject of a special scientific study. The purpose of the study is to describe and interpret the motives, reactions, assessments that represent the main areas of life that have changed during the pandemic. It is shown that the pandemic appears in jokes as a discursive space that predetermines and models a jokingly ironic assessment of the current situation: forced self-isolation served as a pretext for an ironic rethinking of marital, parent-child relationships, a public negative assessment of distance education is given, the state of some members of the society is comprehended as a mental illness. The representation of reality is constructed not without the influence of ethno-cultural factors and stereotypes: the German is comprehended and evaluated within the framework of the “own — different — alien” modus. The study can be continued as part of an interlingual description of humor during the coronavirus pandemic in order to study the linguocognitive, linguocultural aspects of language activity.
Relations between USSR and FRG in 1955—1982: Energy Aspect
Authors: Buslaev G. N. , Reinhardt R. O.
Published: September 2022

The initial period of energy relations between the USSR and the FRG is considered. The question is raised about the role of economic diplomacy in the development of bilateral dialogue. Particular attention is paid to the impact of sanctions factors and political pressure from third parties on the oil and gas partnership between Moscow and Bonn. Transcripts of Bundestag meetings of the 1960s and the archives of the German Foreign Ministry during the specified period were put into circulation and used as sources. It analyzes how the establishment of bilateral energy cooperation was due to the need to restore and strengthen the economies of countries after the Second World War, the crises in the Middle East in the energy exporting countries, as well as the increased foreign policy and foreign economic activity of the USSR and the FRG in the 1950s-1960s. It is proved that the parties maintained close ties in the field of energy, despite the sanctions pressure and political differences between states during the Cold War. At the same time, it was noted that the pragmatism of the leaderships of the Soviet Union and West Germany in the area under study became the reason for the sustainable nature of the energy dialogue in the following decades, already in a completely different international political environment.
Relationship between Lords and Gentry in England in Second Half of 15th Century in Context of ‘Bastard Feudalism’ Concept: a Prosopographic Analysis
Authors: Prazdnikov A. G.
Published: September 2022

“Bastard feudalism” is a system of patronage-client relations that existed in England in the late Middle Ages, opposed to the vassal-seigneurial relations of classical feudalism. This concept has been used in historiography since the 19th century, but is still debatable. The relevance of the study is due to the question of the degree of “bastard feudalism” relations distribution in society. Based on the sources, a prosopographic database of active participants in the Wars of the Roses (1455–1487) was formed, a significant part of which were secular lords and representatives of the middle and lower nobility (gentry): knights, squires and gentlemen. The retinues of the lords had a motley social composition, but, as a rule, included precisely the nobles. Analysis of the database showed that at least 16 % of the representatives of the gentry were in the service or were part of the entourage of the lords who supported the Lancasters or Yorks. Most of the gentry did not belong to the retinue of the lords, but were dependent on them and were recruited into military service in cases of aggravation of the socio-political conflict.
Representation of National and Cultural Identity in Hungarian Translation of E. Vodolazkin’s Novel “Laurus”
Authors: Lappo M. A. , Pozsgai I.
Published: September 2022

The problem of translation of a literary text is considered, in which the interpretation of the national-cultural self-identification of the characters and the narrator is a significant tool for identifying its semantic dominant. For the first time, the issue of translation strategies in relation to the actualization of “one’s own and someone else’s” is studied on the material of the Hungarian translation of Evgeny Vodolazkin’s novel “Laurus”. The object of the study is archaic or non-archaic fragments of the Old Russian text in the speech of the heroes of the novel, as well as translations of personal names and toponyms. It is established that Lajos Palfalvi uses the translation strategy of domestication. The language means of archaization used in the translation text are described. It is proved that the leading means of archaization in translation is the use of the ancient Hungarian narrative past, other means of archaization are obsolete forms, words and syntactic constructions, rare words and words belonging to a high, literary or folk style. The adequacy of the translation strategy is demonstrated: these linguistic means refer the Hungarian reader to the Middle Ages, which corresponds to the author's intention. At the same time, it is noted that the specific linguocultural continuity of the Eastern Slavs (inhabitants of Ancient Russia) and Russians (native speakers of the modern Russian language) is only partially updated in the translation of the novel.
Term Mediation in Modern Scientific Research on Translation
Authors: Kinderknekht A. S. , Kolada V. V.
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to the definitional analysis of the term mediation in the scientific communication of translation researchers and the rational grounds for introducing a new word into the terminological system of the translation science branch of scientific knowledge. Research methods: information search of modern foreign and domestic scientific studies on the keywords mediation and mediatsiya, definitional and contextual analysis of the specified pair of terms in scientific research on translation in Russian, English and French. The authors raise the issue of a certain confusion in the use of the term to refer to various kinds of intermediary activity. It turns out that in the field of translation, mediation is most often understood as a process of acting as an intermediary and is a type of social interaction between different interlocutors with the help of an interpreter. As a result of the study, it is found that the introduction of the term mediation into scientific communication is determined by the need to designate a special kind of cultural mediation, in which the translator plays a more active role, bringing him closer to the mediator as a intermediary in controversial and conflict situations. The relevance of the use of the term here is connected with the problems of intercultural and sociocultural mediation in migration processes.
Behavior of Smart Reinforced Concrete Beam Column Joints by Using Shape Memory Alloy Reinforcement Under Repeated Loading
Authors: Qassim Hameed Maha , Laftah Abbass Ali
Published: September 2022

Using the super elastic materials in structures design is becoming very important   in the research field because of their rare ability in sensing the around effect and reacting against the mechanical and thermal react. The major intent in this research is designing smart concrete beam column joints reinforced by Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) bars. The suggested systems use the (super elastic) Pseudo Elastic (PE) react of the SMA as reinforcement after being subjected under monotonic and repeated load. The behaviors of systems were explored experimentally and by using finite element simulation.  In order to estimate load-displacement relationships of these specimens in this study, Analytical models were developed.  A comparison of the reinforced specimens by SMA was carried out and it contained that the variation in percentage of the SMA in flexural reinforcement (25%, 50%, 75%) of the total flexural reinforcement by using this substitution get a clear effect on the failure load and the ultimate displacement of the specimens with these different ratios. The Finite Element models were developed by using the software ABAQUS. The models have been checked with the experimental results in the load-displacement terms in the top reinforcement. The models showed reasonable response.  Where the ultimate load decreased by using SMA bars in (25%, 50%, 75% ) percentage of total flexural reinforcement about (50.51%, 28.32%, 38.15%) respectively,  in case of static loading and (20.7%, 10.7%, 9.3%) respectively  in case of repeated loading, and the deflection is increasing by using SMA in (25%, 50%, 75% ) percentage of total flexural reinforcement about (1.2%, 8.4%, 0.36%) respectively,  in case of static loading and (9.6%, 5.28%, 10.9%) respectively  in case of repeated loading

Authors: Kovalev Sergey , Golovach A. , Kovalev Vladimir , Poleszak Ewa , Akhmedov Elshan , Bobrytska Olga
Published: September 2022

Fructan-type polysaccharidescomes from natural sources and occur in a large variety of plants, where they play important biological roles as reserve carbohydrate. One of the most commonly distributed compound from this group – inulin has been part of human daily diet for hundreds of years, as it is found in many fruits and vegetables, among others, bananas, onions and wheat. The inulin-type fructans: inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are considered to be functional food elements, the consumption of which brings about health benefits. Indeed, inulin can be consumed to increase the dietary fiber content. Fructan compounds, inulin and fructooligosaccharides have a strong bifidogenic effect, and have a positive action on the gut microbiota. In this work, we preformed gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of Erigeron annuus L. herb. The GC-MS analysis of carbohydrate composition confirmed the presence of free (arabinose, glucose, fructose 1, fructose 2) and fermented (arabinose, glucose, fructose 1, fructose 2, sucrose) carbohydrates at the quantity of 69.83 and 91.70 mg/g d.w., respectively.

Acute cardiovascular pathology can frequently resemble the clinical and paraclinical picture of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The present paper aims to present the experience of a cardiology clinic during this pandemic and describe the way in which the clinical station was organized in order to limit in-hospital transmission of the virus.

Methods

Patients admitted to an emergency cardiology department between May 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 were retrospectively identified and divided into two groups: (1) those positive for SARS-CoV2 infection and (2) those with an initial negative test, but high suspicion for the infection, who were tested at least twice by RT-PCR. We followed the motivation for retesting as well as possible correlations between clinical and paraclinical parameters and the decision to retest.

Results

A number of 334 patients were identified, 51 with a first positive RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV2 infection, and 276 who were tested for infection at least twice. The most common reasons for retesting were lung imaging and existence of subfever. The best predictive model for the outcome of the second RT-PCR test included the presence of lymphopenia, subpleural condensation, highest temperature during hospitalization, and the presence of at least two COVID-19 symptoms.

Conclusion

The balance between prompt detection of patients with high suspicion of SARS-CoV2 infection (through PCR re-testing) and misuse of material resources should be guided by clinical algorithms.

Bioarchaeology is the science that covers the relationship between bioanthropology and archaeology to reconstructing biological and cultural processes in the past. The study focuses on skeletal components of R.PNY (PULAKI) on Pulaki Site that aim to learn information about human osteobigraphy. In this study, authors use methods of data-collection of library studies, obsevations, and interviews. Data is then treated using macroscopic analysis, microscopic analysis, anthropogenic analysis, anthropometrics analysis and comparative analysis. Forensic theory is used to assist in the process of analysis. By the process of identification it is known that the R.PNY (PULAKI) skeleton has an unidentified gender of about 6-12 years of age with a height of 125.102 cm ± 10 cm by length of bone. In addition, there are indications of pathology and bone modification such as dental hypoplasia, caries occlusal, bone fracture, bone modification by physical agents, and bone modification by nonhuman biological agents.

A detonation engine system is successfully demonstrated for the first time in space using sounding rocket S-520-31 of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency/Institute of Space Astronautical Science. Detailed flight results of an S-shaped pulse detonation engine (PDE) installed in the rocket are presented herein. The flight is conducted to confirm that the PDE and its system operate at scheduled sequences in space, confirm the reproducibility of the PDE cycle, and despin the rocket around its axis. It is confirmed that the PDE operated successfully for 14 cycles in space. The experimental plateau pressure of [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text] of the calculated plateau pressure, which suggests that detonation occurred in 14 cycles. The pressure profiles of the cycles are similar, and the pressure integrals are [Formula: see text], confirming the excellent reproducibility of the PDE cycle. A probability statistical approach assuming a Gaussian distribution is applied to determine the average angular acceleration difference between processes of the PDE operation, mixture supply, and oxygen supply. The results suggested that the PDE despun the rocket via the thrust produced via detonation combustion, which is consistent with a quasi-steady-state model with an accuracy of [Formula: see text].

Permasalahan pendidikan tinggi diantaranya mensyaratkan hadirnya peran dosen sebagai aktor kebijakan secara maksimal. Dosen di perguruan tinggi sebagai pemangku jabatan fungsional punya peran strategis dalam mewujudkan tujuan pendidikan tinggi. Regulasi negara/pemerintah mengenai jabatan akademik menjadi faktor penting untuk mendukung tugas dan wewenangnya sebagai aktor kebijakan pendidikan tinggi. Beberapa regulasi negara/pemerintah itu berbentuk dua undang-undang (UU Guru dan Dosen dan UU Pendidikan Tinggi), dua Peraturan Menpan RB, satu peraturan bersama Menpan RB dan Kepala BKN, satu Permendikbud, serta Pedoman Operasional Jabatan Akademik. Untuk efektifnya implementasi kebijakan jabatan akademik perlu didukung oleh substansi kebijakan yang tepat. Evaluasi kebijakan khususnya terhadap substansi regulasi negara/pemerintah menjadi penting. Secara umum pengaturan jabatan akademik dalam kebijakan tersebut sudah memadai, tetapi terdapat beberapa hal yang perlu disempurnakan. Kata Kunci: Dosen, Jabatan Akademik, Evaluasi Kebijakan, Profesi.

Authors: Chakrabarti Sudipta , Mandal Prakas Kumar
Published: September 2022

Writing scientific research article is necessary for the evolution of scientific knowledge and may be helpful in the professional advancement of researchers. It, thus far, not only improves the writing skill of the researcher but also opens the door to getting scientifically connected with peer groups. Many manuscripts are not being published in any scientific journal, simply because the author(s) have not adhered to the basic rules to construct a good manuscript or have not followed the publication guidelines as recommended by the journal. It is not a difficult job if the minimum standards or protocols are being followed systematically. The authors, in the present review, highlight the salient points to keep in mind before starting to write the manuscript and provide readers with a few elementary steps to generate a good quality manuscript. Moreover, a plan of the revision process that may require to publish the manuscript has also been highlighted.

Authors: Bugarini Alejandro , Hale Tyson C. , Laidacker Jennifer R. , Grant Ryan , Gotoff Jill M. , Shimony Nir
Published: September 2022

Background:

Surgical management of atlantoaxial instability (AAI) in pediatric patients with Down syndrome is associated with high neurological morbidity. Moreover, Down syndrome cognitive impairment coupled to AAI removes traditional verbal communication to relay evolving symptoms and aid in neurologic examination. It is not clear whether surgical adjuncts can alter clinical outcomes in this vulnerable population.

Case Description:

Herein, we report the case of a 6-year-old patient with significant developmental delay and severe AAI that was successfully managed by stabilization with guidance of neurophysiologic investigations in the perioperative phase.

Conclusion:

Perioperative neurophysiologic monitoring is safe, useful, and reliable in pediatric patients with trisomy 21 undergoing cervical traction and occipitocervical instrumented fusion for AAI.
Understanding the Zebras of Wound Care: An Overview of Atypical Wounds
Authors: Ansert Elizabeth , Tickner Anthony , Cohen Donald , Murry Weldon , Gorelik Samuel
Published: September 2022

Atypical wounds account for approximately 5% to 20% of chronic ulcerations. Typically, clinical suspicion of an uncommon etiology is warranted for wounds that do not show signs of healing with conventional care, that are associated with pain out of proportion to the clinical presentation, or that are atypical in appearance. This review provides a general overview of various atypical wound etiologies, clinical presentations and appearance, and current treatment protocols. The clinical presentation, pathophysiologic etiology, and current literature on each etiology are presented. The etiologies discussed are pyoderma gangrenosum, calciphylaxis, lichen planus, necrobiosis lipoidica, infectious ulcers, hidradenitis suppurativa, artefactual ulcers, hydroxyurea-induced ulcers, vasculopathies, and neoplastic ulcers. Patients with atypical wounds experience a poorer prognosis and slower healing rate compared with patients with typical wound etiologies (eg, vascular and diabetic wounds). Biopsy is often vital in wound care to identify and differentiate wound etiologies. It is important to note that multiple characteristics or histologic features can overlap in a biopsy with atypical wounds. Therefore, a biopsy will still require an understanding of the presentation of these different wounds and should only be used when appropriate. The proper diagnosis for an atypical wound can greatly hasten wound closure, decrease the cost for the patient and the health care system, and improve the patient’s quality of life. Because of the limited availability of patient populations with atypical wound etiologies, literature concerning specific pathologies is limited. More research on each pathology is needed, as is a universally accepted treatment protocol for atypical wounds.
