Authors: li shuangshuang , Liu Tingjie , Xia Junming , Jia Jie , Li Wenxian 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common side-effects following strabismus surgery. The present study aimed to compare the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on PONV incidence in pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery. Methods: In this prospective randomized double-blinded study, 126 pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery were randomized into one of three groups: Placebo group, normal saline; DEX1 group, 0.3 ug/kg dexmedetomidine, and DEX2 group, 0.5 ug/kg dexmedetomidine. Oculocardiac reflex (OCR) events were recorded during surgery. PONV or postoperative vomiting (POV) was recorded for 24 hours in the ward. Pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) scale and emergence agitation (EA) scale were recorded in the recovery room. Results: Intraoperative OCR was significantly reduced in DEX2 group (42%) as compared to that of Placebo group (68%) (p=0.0146). During the first 24 hours post-op, the overall incidence of PONV was significantly lower in DEX2 group (10%) than that of Placebo group (32%) (p=0.0142). There was no significant difference in POV among the three groups. PAED or EA scores among the three groups were similar during recovery time. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine (0.5 ug/kg) reduced OCR and PONV without lengthening extubation time or recovery time in pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery. Trial registration：The trial was prospectively registered before patient enrollment at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Clinical Trial Number: ChiCTR1800020176, Date: 12/19/2018). Keywords: Dexmedetomidine, Postoperative nausea and vomiting, Strabismus surgery, Oculocardiac reflex, Emergence agitation
Study of deuteron-proton backward elastic scattering at intermediate energies
Authors: Ladygina Nadezhda 
Published: February 2020

We study deuteron- proton elastic scattering in the deuteron energy
range between 500 MeV and 2 GeV at the cms scattering angle
\theta^*\ge 140^\circθ*≥140∘.
The reaction is considered in the relativistic multiple scattering
expansion framework. The four reaction mechanisms are included into
consideration: one-nucleon exchange, single scattering, double
scattering, and the term corresponding to the delta excitation in the
intermediate state.The model is applied to describe the angular dependence of the
differential cross section at the deuteron energies of between 880 and
1300 MeV. Also the energy dependence of the differential cross section
and polarisation observables such as tensor analyzing power
T_{20}T20
and polarization transfer from the deuteron to proton
\varkappa𝜘
are considered at the scattering angle equal to
180^\circ∘.
Contributions of the different reaction mechanisms into the reaction
amplitude are demonstrated in comparison with the existing experimental
data.

:
Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is an extremely rare and often a deadly tumor. Preoperative diagnosis is very difficult due to lack of specific clinical manifestations, mainly including hydrocele formation and painless inguinal mass. In this abstract we present a case of a young patient with hydrocele and dull pain of left testes, was planned for laparoscopic repair of left inguinal hernia, during which a mass attached to the scrotal cord was discovered. Dissection and release of the mass from the cord structure were done, and postoperative pathological examination revealed a malignant mesothelioma arising from the left tunica vaginalis testis. Case was then referred to oncology center where intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy with cytoreductive surgery were done.
Relationship Between Level of Heart Type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (Before and after Procedures) with Acute Renal Failure after PCI in Patients Under PCI
Authors: Haybar Habib , Assareh Ahmad R. , Mohammadzadeh Mina , Hovyzian Shahla A. 
Published: February 2020

Background & Objective:
Acute renal failure (AKI) is one of the most important
complications of PCI. Due to delay in creatinine increase, we need specific factors to detect AKI
earlier. The aim of this study is to evaluate the valuable factors by focusing on HFAB-P that can be
predictive for AKI after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).

Methods:
This prospective study was performed on 95 patients (55 males and 44 females aged
between 49-78 years) under PCI in Golestan and Imam Khomeini hospitals in Ahvaz. Patients were
divided into three groups based on the development of AKI after the procedure: no AKI, severe
AKI (doubling of serum creatinine or needing dialysis) and any type of AKI (increased creatinine ≥
0/3 mg/dl or a 50% increase in the means of 1/5 times serum creatinine). The demographic and
clinical characteristics of the patients, the medical history and the results of the HFABP marker,
GFR, and creatinine before and after PCI were evaluated for all patients.

Results:
The progenies showed 6 patients with severe AKI, 17 patients with any type of AKI, and
72 patients without AKI. Diabetes (P = 0.003), hypertension (P = 0.027), gender of patients (P =
0.025) and hospital admission days (P <0.001) were significantly different among the groups.
Patients' age and positive troponin were significantly higher in patients with AKI. HFABP was the
only factor that had significant changes before and after PCI (P <0.001). The cut-off value of
HFABP was 4.69 with 95.6% sensitivity and 84.7% specificity. It has a good negative predictive
value of 98.39% which suggests it to be a good test for the AKI prediction. Glomerular Filtration
Rate (GFR) and creatinine (Cr) were significantly different after PCI (P <0.001).

Conclusion:
HFABP can be considered as a predictor for AKI after PCI. Moreover, our study
suggests that evaluating several parameters such as Cr and GFR before and after PCI can predict the
AKI development after PCI.

Internet Influence of Assisted Reproduction Technology Centers in China: Qualitative Study Based on WeChat Official Accounts
Authors: Shao Fang , He Zhiqiang , Zhu Zheng , Wang Xiang , Zhang Jianping , Shan Jinhua , Pan Jiajia , Wang Hui 
Published: February 2020

Background
The prevalence of infertility in China is high, but the advent of assisted reproduction technology (ART) has greatly eased this situation. Social media, such as WeChat official accounts, have become the preferred tool for ART centers to communicate with patients, but their attention and operational status differ, and the Internet influence of WeChat official accounts is insufficient. In addition, questions about whether Internet influence is consistent with academic influence and whether the Internet can influence patients’ choice of medical treatment to a certain extent have not been explored.

Objective
This study aimed to examine the operational status and Internet influence of WeChat official accounts for ART centers and to explore the degree of Internet influence on patients’ choices of medical treatment.

Methods
We collected information from the WeChat official accounts for ART centers approved by the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China and used the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution to build an Internet influence model of the ART centers and obtained a Ranking of Internet Influence on Reproductive Centers (RIIRC) for each center.

Results
We found there were 451 ART centers throughout the country by the end of 2016 and 498 by the end of 2018. The number of medical institutions is quite large, but their distribution is uneven, and their level of medical technical ability is very different. Analysis of the text data of posts of WeChat official accounts showed the ART centers have insufficient awareness of network exposure and publicity, and the RIIRC of some medical institutions was inconsistent with their medical level and academic status.

Conclusions
ART institutions have varying degrees of emphasis and use of WeChat official accounts in China. They fail to realize that the Internet influence of WeChat may bring them potential patient resources and that Internet influence may affect the future market structure of ART and may also potentially affect academic rankings.

A forma da cidade: deslocamento, porosidade e ressonância na escrita
Authors: Caimi Claudia Luiza 
Published: February 2020

Apresenta-se aqui uma discussão a propósito texto “A polifonia na escrita: rastros, riscos e experiência”, o qual estabelece uma íntima relação entre o mapa da cidade e a escrita, entre a linguagem e o pensamento, entre a dimensão política e a estética que percorre um texto. Propomos apresentar, a partir do pensamento de Walter Benjamin, como o pensador/narrador percorre a cidade e a narra. Benjamin nos mostra como a cidade proporciona uma forma de narrativa e de pensamento que expõe o grão da diferença na engrenagem das tensões da vivência do homem moderno, indivíduo-massa habitante do grande espaço urbano, solitário, anônimo, que vive o choque em meio à profusão de automóveis, prédios e avenidas labirínticas. A partir da experiência na cidade, Walter Benjamin propõe uma escrita de montagem documental, que exibe ao invés de demonstrar e renuncia o valor discursivo, dedutivo e demonstrativo da escrita acadêmica em favor de um aspecto mais icônico e mostrativo. A montagem como forma estética e de pensamento permite expor a desterritorialização dos objetos do conhecimento, pois nela as diferenças nunca são absorvidas numa síntese positiva. O intervalo é por excelência, no pensamento benjaminiano, o instrumento epistemológico de desterritorialização disciplinar que permite saber e ver uma política do presente que inscreve os complexos processos memoriais.
How Do Look-Back Analyses and Evidence Specificity Affect Auditors' Planning Judgments?
Authors: Backof Ann G. , Martin Roger D. , Thayer Jane 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
During a look-back analysis, auditors review prior-period evidence to understand estimation inaccuracies and assess the reliability of management's estimation process. We find that evidence specificity moderates the relation between the consistency of an estimation inaccuracy with management's incentives and auditors' reliability assessments. The direction of an estimation inaccuracy has no effect on auditors' reliability assessments when the prior-period evidence is less specific. When prior-period evidence is more specific, auditors report the highest (lowest) reliability assessments of management's estimation process when an estimation inaccuracy is inconsistent (consistent) with management's incentives. Auditors' low reliability assessments in the more specific, consistent condition, however, do not translate to high risk assessments. Instead, specificity has a main effect on auditors' risk assessments. A follow-up experiment reveals, though, an inverse relation between auditors' reliability and risk assessments when auditors are provided procedures to address various levels of assessed misstatement risk.
Usefulness of Interest Income Sensitivity Disclosures
Authors: Cheng Mei , Hodder Leslie D. , Watkins Jessica 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
We document multiple dimensions of usefulness of banks' interest income sensitivity disclosures. First, we find management-generated sensitivity measures are predictive of future realized changes in net interest income. Second, we find financial analysts' forecasts of net interest income reflect information provided by interest income sensitivity disclosures. Third, we find equity market responses to interest rate shocks as well as firms' interest rate betas are larger for banks with greater disclosed sensitivity of net interest income to interest rate changes. Across all of these tests, the informativeness of income sensitivity measures is incremental to that of regulatory data. These results suggest that interest income sensitivity disclosures are informative measures of interest rate risk. Our results contradict assertions that these disclosures are useless due to lack of relevance of income sensitivity, poor modeling techniques, and/or redundancy relative to regulatory data.

U.S. Political Corruption and Audit Fees
Authors: Jha Anand , Kulchania Manoj , Smith Jared 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
Using data on corruption convictions from the U.S. Department of Justice, we find that auditors charge higher fees when a firm is headquartered in a more corrupt district. This result is robust to a wide range of time and location fixed effects, using capital city isolation as an instrument, and propensity score matching. We also find that, relative to those in non-corrupt districts, firms in corrupt districts are more likely to have weak internal controls and restate earnings, and that their auditors exert greater effort. This evidence suggests that auditing firms located in corrupt areas entails additional risk, which auditors price into fees.

The Effect of Trade Secrets Law on Stock Price Synchronicity: Evidence from the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine
Authors: Kim Yongtae , Su Lixin (Nancy) , Wang Zheng , Wu Haibin 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
We exploit the staggered recognition of the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine (IDD) by U.S. state courts to examine the effect of trade secret protection on the amount of firm-specific information incorporated in stock prices, as reflected in stock price synchronicity. We find that after certain state courts recognize the IDD, firms headquartered in those states exhibit a significant increase in stock price synchronicity relative to firms in other states. We also find a significant decrease in the disclosure of proprietary information in the firms' 10-K reports. These results suggest that IDD recognition increases the proprietary cost of disclosure and, in response, corporate managers withhold more information. In addition, we find that the increase in stock price synchronicity and the decrease in the disclosure of proprietary information lead to increases in the firm's market share, cost of equity, and market-to-book ratio, suggesting that managers sacrifice capital market benefits for product market gains.

Government Procurement and Changes in Firm Transparency
Authors: Samuels Delphine 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
The government requires its suppliers to have certain internal information processes to reduce uncertainty about their ability to fulfill their commitments. I argue that these requirements improve suppliers' internal information, which leads to better external reporting. Using a dataset of U.S. government contracts, I find a positive relation between government contract awards and firms' external reporting quality. Consistent with procurement-related requirements driving this relation, I find that firms improve their external reporting when they begin contracting with the government, and that the magnitude of the improvement varies predictably with contract characteristics imposing greater requirements on contractors' internal information processes. Finally, I use the establishment of the Cost Accounting Standards Board in 1970 as a shock to contractors' internal information requirements, and find greater improvements in external reporting among firms subject to the CASB. Overall, these results suggest that the government as a customer contributes to shaping firms' information environments.
