Senior's travel constraint, negotiation strategy and travel intention: Examining the role of social support
Authors: Chen Fangfang , Dai Shanshan , Xu Honggang , Abliz Abdulla 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThis paper explores how travel constraints influence seniors' travel decision. By including social support for travel as a moderator in the hierarchical constraint model, we examined the effects of travel constraints, social support, and negotiation strategies on seniors' travel intentions. Face‐to‐face questionnaire interviews were conducted with Chinese seniors. The results were in accordance with the hierarchical constraint model in general, but also revealed some interesting findings: (a) for Chinese seniors, intrapersonal constraint (health constraint, habit constraint) and interpersonal constraint played a vital role in influencing travel intentions; (b) the negative effect of structural constraint was negotiable, but the negative impacts of intrapersonal and interpersonal constraints were hard to negotiate; (c) the effects of sub‐constraints at the same level were heterogeneous, for example, the effects of cost constraint were insignificant, while those of time and transportation constraints were significant; (d) social support for travel had a negative moderating role on the relationship between habit constraint and negotiation but a positive moderating role on the relationship between interpersonal constraint and negotiation. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Published: September 2020

ObjectivesTo identify the frequency and primary site of metastatic pathologies to the temporal bone and characterize the associated symptomatology.MethodsThe MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science databases were systematically reviewed according to the PRISMA guidelines to identify all cases of pathologically confirmed distant temporal bone metastases published with English translation until October 2019. Descriptive statistics were performed.ResultsOut of 576 full‐length articles included for review, 109 met final criteria for data extraction providing 255 individual cases of distant temporal bone metastases. There was a male predominance (54.9%) with median age of 59.0 years (range 2–90). The most common locations of primary malignancy included the breasts (19.6%), lungs (16.1%), and prostate (8.6%). Most tumors were carcinomas of epithelial origin (75.3%) and predominantly adenocarcinoma (49.4%). The commonest metastatic sites encountered within the temporal bone were the petrous (72.0%) and mastoid (49.0%) portions. Bilateral temporal bone metastases occurred in 39.8% of patients. Patients were asymptomatic in 32.0% of cases. Symptomatic patients primarily reported hearing loss (44.3%), facial palsy (31.2%), and otalgia (16.6%) for a median duration of 1 month. Petrous lesions were associated with asymptomatic cases (P= .001) while mastoid lesions more often exhibited facial palsy (P= .026), otalgia (P < .001), and otorrhea (P < .001). Non‐carcinomatous tumors were associated with petrosal metastasis (P= .025) and asymptomatic cases (P= .109). Carcinomatous metastases more often presented with otalgia (P= .003).ConclusionsTemporal bone metastasis is uncommon but should be considered in patients with subacute otologic symptoms or facial palsy and history of distant malignancy.Laryngoscope, 131:1101–1109, 2021

AbstractSpontaneous emission can be altered by external electromagnetic environment with the bridge of local density of optical states. Microcavities have been widely integrated to accelerate the irreversible spontaneous decay, known as the Purcell effect. However, the Purcell effect breaks down in the strong coupling regime, where the light‐matter interaction is not a perturbation to Fermi's golden rule. Here, it is found that the emission intensity of plasmon–exciton polaritons is asymmetrically dependent on the spectral detuning, confirming the collapse of Purcell effect in strongly coupled systems. Ultrafast nonradiative decays of polaritons play a significant role in revealing the polariton emission intensity. The nonradiative effect is not affected by the coherent energy exchange since final states of nonradiative decays are optically dark and decoupled from Rabi oscillations. Moreover, the nonradiative effect is still valid under intermediate coupling and agrees with the Purcell effect, which suggests its universality at a variety of coupling regimes. This study opens up a successful approach to investigate spontaneous emission in cavity quantum electrodynamics, which is insightful to photonic and opto‐electronic applications based on exciton‐polaritons.

Published: September 2020

ScopeMilk fat globule membrane (MFGM), which contains abundant polar lipids and glycoproteins, can narrow the gap in growth and development between breast‐fed and infant‐formula‐fed babies. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of MFGM supplementation in infant formula on intestinal epithelium maturation, tight junctions, and gut colonization in rat pups.Methods and resultsSprague Dawley rat pups consume one of the five diets from postnatal day 8, including rat breastfeeding (BF), infant formula (IF), and infant formula containing MFGM at 260 mg kg−1 body weight (BW), 520 mg kg−1 BW, or 1040 mg kg−1 BW. Results show that MFGM supplementation in infant formula can facilitate intestinal mucosal barrier maturation via promoting intestinal proliferation and differentiation, and increasing tight junction proteins. In addition, compared with that of the IF pups, the intestinal flora composition of MFGM‐supplemented pups is more similar to that of BF pups.ConclusionMFGM supplementation in infant formula can restore the intestinal development in infant‐formula‐fed pups, which suggests that the supplementation of MFGM in infant formula can better mimic breast milk.

Published: September 2020

AbstractIntroductionApproaches to rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair are variable but typically include 4–6 weeks of immobilisation followed by a gradual introduction of movement and activity. However, research has questioned whether such an approach is optimal. The aim of this study was to undertake an updated survey to understand whether practice has evolved in line with contemporary research.MethodsAn electronic survey was developed describing three case scenarios (medium‐sized rotator cuff repair [2 cm], large‐sized rotator cuff repair [4 cm] and large‐sized rotator cuff repair with biceps tenodesis). Clinicians involved with rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair were invited to participate.Results129 responses were received (United Kingdom = 87, other regions [ORs] = 42). Respondents would most commonly recommend four to six weeks of immobilisation for all case scenarios. Passive movement would commence during this period, with active movement recommended from four to six weeks. Resisted exercise would commence between seven to 12 weeks along with return to driving. There were some minor differences in recommendations between respondents from the United Kingdom and ORs, including a greater proportion from the United Kingdom recommending sling immobilisation rather than abduction brace immobilisation.ConclusionFor many respondents to this survey, rehabilitation for the three case scenarios was similar and has not evolved in line with contemporary research evidence. The reasons behind this need to be explored and incorporated into the design of future research evaluating rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair.

AbstractBackgroundAntibodies against ganglioside complexes (GSCs) are associated with various clinical features and subtypes of Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS).MethodsOne‐hundred patients were evaluated for antibodies to GSCs formed by combination of GM1, GM2, GD1a, GD1b, GT1b, and GQ1b using manual enzyme linked immuno‐sorbent assay (ELISA).ResultsTwenty‐six patients were GSC antibody‐positive, most frequent being against GM1‐containing GSC (76.9%). Gender distribution, mean age, symptom‐duration, antecedent events, electrophysiological subtypes, requirement for mechanical ventilation, and median duration of hospital stay were comparable between the GSC antibody‐positive and negative groups. There was no association between specific GSC antibody and electrophysiological subtypes or clinical variants. After controlling for false discovery rate (FDR) using the Benjamini‐Hochberg method, the number of subjects who improved in overall disability sum score, modified Erasmus GBS outcome score, and neuropathy symptom score at discharge was significantly higher in the GSC antibody‐positive group. Improvements in Medical Research Council sum scores and Hughes Disability Scale during the hospital stay between the GSC antibody‐positive and negative groups were not significantly different after controlling for FDR.ConclusionsThe GSC antibody‐positive group had better outcome at hospital discharge in some of the disability scores. Pathophysiological pathways among patients without GSC antibodies may be different and this requires further evaluation.
Inkjet‐based microreactor for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles on plasmonic paper decorated with chitosan nano‐wrinkles for efficient on‐site Surface‐enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)

Published: September 2020

AbstractHere we report a synthesis approach that is simple, surfactant free, and green, and which is additionally cost effective in terms of its material requirements. The approach entails the use of an inkjet microreactor for the deposition of silver nanoparticles on the surface of office paper decorated with chitosan nano‐wrinkles for the preparation of a reproducible and sensitive paper‐based surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized directly in the head nozzles of the inkjet printer via the reduction of silver nitrate (AgNO3) by ascorbic acid. Pre‐modification of the paper with chitosan allowed the formation of randomly oriented nano‐wrinkles on the surface, thus enabling the formation of silver nanoparticles with good hotspots. The novel paper‐based SERS substrate showed outstanding sensitivity and spot‐to‐spot reproducibility for on‐site detection using a portable Raman spectrometer with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10.7 pM. Moreover, our paper‐based SERS substrate has an excellent enhancement factor (EF) of 7.4 × 108, which is difficult to achieve on a paper substrate because of the microporous nature of paper. Finally, the batch‐to‐batch reproducibility and long‐term stability of the SERS substrate under ambient conditions make this substrate a good candidate for point‐of‐care test applications.

AbstractAimTo assess the health promotion practices of Syrian refugees in the north of Jordan and to determine their correlation with some socio‐demographic variables.DesignCross‐sectional descriptive correlational.MethodsHealth‐Promotion Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP‐II) was used to measure health promotion practices of Syrian refugees. Data were collected from a convenient sample of 250 Syrian refugees who lived in the North of Jordan. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse data.ResultsThe results showed that Syrian refugees in Jordan had low scores of total health promotion scale (mean = 2.28) with a cut score of 2.5, which indicated that they minimally adopted health promotion practices in general. The higher score was found on the interpersonal relation domain (mean = 2.89, SD 0.52). While the stress management domain (mean = 2.48, SD 0.43), spiritual growth domain (mean = 2.38, SD 0.39) and nutrition domain (mean = 2.34, SD 0.37) were lower than 2.5, the scores on responsibility and physical activity domains (mean = 2.20, SD 0.62), (mean = 1.35, SD 0.18) respectively, were the lowest. Women, married and unemployed, have more healthy behaviours than their counterparts.

AbstractBecause of increasing survival rates in pediatric oncology, attention is focusing on cancer and its treatment‐related side effects. Rehabilitation may reduce their impact. However, the literature does not provide strong evidence regarding rehabilitation pathways. Therefore, the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology organized a consensus conference on the role of rehabilitation of motor impairments in children/adolescents affected by leukemia, central nervous system, and bone tumors to define recommendations for daily practice. The grading of recommendation assessment, developing and evaluation (GRADE) method was used in order to formulate questions, select outcomes, evaluate evidence, and create recommendations. This paper includes the results on the rehabilitation assessment.
Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy: A review of published blastocyst reanalysis concordance data
Authors: Marin Diego , Xu Jia , Treff Nathan R. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractPreimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT‐A) reduces miscarriage risk, increases the success of IVF, shortens time to pregnancy, and reduces multiple gestation rates without compromising outcomes. The progression of PGT‐A has included common application of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) from single nucleotide polymorphism microarray, quantitative real‐time PCR, and array comparative hybridization platforms of analysis. Additional putative advances in PGT‐A capability include classifying embryos as mosaic and predicting the presence of segmental imbalance. A critical component in the process of technical validation of these advancements involves evaluation of concordance between reanalysis results and initial testing results. While many independent studies have investigated the concordance of results obtained from the remaining embryo with the original PGT‐A diagnosis, compilation and systematic analysis of published data has not been performed. Here, we review results from 26 primary research articles describing concordance in 1271 human blastocysts from 2260 pairwise comparisons. Results illustrate significantly higher discordance from PGT‐A methods which utilize NGS and include prediction of mosaicism or segmental imbalance. These results suggest caution when considering new iterations PGT‐A.

AbstractObjectiveTo compare perinatal outcomes associated with three methods of selective reduction in complicated monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies: bipolar cord coagulation (BC), fetoscopic or ultrasound guided laser cord occlusion and radiofrequency ablation (RFA).MethodsRetrospective cohort study of complicated MC twin pregnancies undergoing selective fetal reduction at a tertiary fetal center over a 20‐year period. Obstetric and perinatal outcomes were compared.Results105 procedures met inclusion criteria: 74 RFAs, 17 lasers and 14 BCs. Procedure duration was significantly shorter for RFA (27.4 ± 15.8 minutes) compared to BC (91.7 ± 38.7 minutes) and laser (83.4 ± 40.4 minutes), P < .0001). The incidence of preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) and co‐twin demise did not differ between groups, however preterm delivery <34 weeks occurred less frequently following RFA (29.7%), compared to laser (64.7%) or BC (42.9%) (P = .02); delivery <37 weeks was also less frequent following RFA (45.9%), compared to laser (76.5%) or BC (78.6%)(P = .01). The difference in preterm birth<34 weeks between RFA and laser was maintained after adjusting for cord occlusion indication and amnionicity (OR 3.96, 95% CI 1.27‐12.31).ConclusionsIn our experience, RFA procedures were simpler, faster and associated with a lower risk of preterm delivery <34 and <37 weeks, compared to laser or BC.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe obstetric and perinatal outcomes in cases of congenital Zika syndrome (CZS).MethodsA dual prospective and retrospective cohort study involving 102 pairs of mothers and fetuses/children with CZS whose infection was confirmed by testing for the Zika virus in amniotic fluid, umbilical cord blood, and fragments from the placenta of the newborn infant (confirmed CZS), or by intrauterine imaging tests (neurosonography), and/or postnatal computed tomography (presumed CZS).ResultsSuspicion of CZS was investigated by ultrasonography during pregnancy in 52.9% of cases. The principal prenatal imaging findings were ventriculomegaly (43.1%) and microcephaly (42.2%). Median gestational age at delivery was 39 weeks, with 15.7% being premature. Mean head circumference at birth was 30.0 ± 2.3 cm, with 66% of cases being classified as having microcephaly. Arthrogryposis was found in 10 cases (9.8%). There were no fetal deaths; however, nine neonatal deaths were recorded, and three autopsies were performed.ConclusionNeonatal mortality was high, almost 10%. Regarding the abnormalities of CZS, microcephaly, although common, was not present in all cases and intracranial findings need to be taken into consideration for diagnosis. Therefore, ultrasound screening during pregnancy should be systematized and expanded in endemic zones.

Published: September 2020

AbstractThe key processes in an atmospheric‐pressure plasma jet containing Ar and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) are studied by means of two‐dimensional imaging of the important discharge radicals: OH, CH, and atomic O. The kinetics of the species generation is investigated by laser‐induced fluorescence spectroscopy. The work is focused on the behavior of the ground‐state radicals' density as a function of the applied voltage and of the Ar/TEOS mixing ratio. First insights on the physicochemical mechanisms of precursor fragmentation are provided. The influence of precursor admixture and precursor fragmentation on the OH, CH radicals, and atomic oxygen kinetics is revealed. The dominant role of gas‐phase oxidation processes in CH radical formation and polymerization is discussed and analyzed.

AbstractRationaleThe extent of diaphragmatic atrophy and dysfunction in critically ill children from developing countries is not established.ObjectivesTo estimate changes in ultrasound measurements of diaphragmatic thickness over the first week of mechanical ventilation. To assess magnitude and risk factors of diaphragmatic atrophy.MethodsIn an observational cohort study, children aged 1–18 years, requiring mechanical ventilation were included. Ultrasound measurements of diaphragmatic thickness at end‐expiration (DTe) and end‐inspiration (DTi), and diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF) were performed daily during the first week of admission, and pre‐ and post‐extubation. Diaphragmatic atrophy (%) and atrophy rate (rate of decline in DTe, % per day) were calculated.Measurements and Main ResultsOf 55 children (74.6% boys) enrolled, 20 (36.4%) died. Of 35 children with planned extubation, 5 (14.3%) required reintubation. Baseline median (interquartile range [IQR]) DTe, DTi, and DTF were 1.27 mm (1, 1.6), 1.76 mm (1.35, 2.10), and 33.75% (26.90, 44.60), respectively. There was a significant reduction in DTe over the first week of mechanical ventilation (p < .001), median (IQR) diaphragmatic atrophy and atrophy rate of 9.91% (5.26, 17.35) and 2.01% (1.08, 3.04) per day, respectively. Diaphragmatic atrophy rate was lower in pressure targeted ventilation (n = 44; 1.79% [1.03, 2.87]) than volume targeted ventilation (n = 11; 3.10% [1.31, 5.49]), p = .038. There was no difference in diaphragmatic parameters (atrophy rate, and peri‐extubation DTe and DTF) in extubation success versus failure.ConclusionsThe diaphragm undergoes progressive atrophy during the first week of mechanical ventilation in critically ill children. Future studies should evaluate ventilation strategies to reduce the diaphragmatic atrophy.
