Published: August 2021

ObjectiveTo investigate the outcomes of C‐shaped release around the greater trochanter in gluteal muscle contracture under arthroscopy.MethodsFrom December 2016 to January 2018, 185 patients with gluteal muscle contracture who treated under arthroscopy were reviewed, including 69 males and 116 females. All patients had a history of repeated intramuscular injection into the buttocks. The follow signs were positive in all the patients before surgery: squatting and crouching disability, difficulty in crossing the leg, Ober's sign positive, clicking sound during rotation of the hip. The C‐shaped release around the greater trochanter under arthroscopy was performed in 96 cases (C‐shaped release group) with an average age of 24.6 ± 4.9 years old, and conventional gluteal muscle contracture release under arthroscopy was performed in 89 cases (conventional release group) with an average age of 25.1 ± 5.0 years. The released tissues in the C‐shaped release group: iliotibial band (ITB) about 5 cm distal to the proximal end of the greater trochanter, the contracture tissue near the posterior and superior of the greater trochanter, which depended on both intraoperative physical examination and arthroscopic observation. The released tissues in conventional release group: the contracture tissues in gluteal muscles according to observation under arthroscopy. The gluteal muscle contracture disability scale (GDS) and Visual analogue scale (VAS) were evaluated before surgery and at the last follow‐up.ResultsThe average release time after making arthroscopic operation space for each lower limb were 12.2 ± 3.2 min in the C‐shaped release group, and 21.4 ± 6.1 min in the conventional release group (P = 0.000). All the patients were followed for at least of 2 years after operation. There was one case of wound hematoma in the C‐shaped release group and five cases in the conventional release group(P = 0.079), abductor weakness (IV level)occurred in two patients in the C‐shaped release group and five cases in the conventional release group (P = 0.208). GDS was 49.3 ± 17.3 (22 to 70) in theC‐shaped release group and 48.1 ± 15.6 (23 to 69) in the conventional release group before surgery (P = 0.622), 91.7 ± 5.2 (83 to 100) in the C‐shaped release group and 90.2 ± 6.1 (83 to 98) in the conventional release group (P = 0.073) with difference nearly significant at last follow‐up.ConclusionArthroscopic C‐shaped release around the greater trochanter had less operation time, acceptable complication occurrence, and it has an optimistic outcome for gluteal muscle contracture under arthroscope.
Seeding the cloud: Consultancy services in the nascent field of cyber capacity building
Authors: Willers Johann Ole 
Published: August 2021

AbstractTransnational issues in public administration are charged with coordination problems between public and private actors. This is especially true for nascent issue fields. The mitigation of global cyber risks represents one such emerging issue. International organizations have encouraged the development of cybersecurity strategies as an integral part of national security regimes and to strengthen the global security environment. Cyber capacity building (CCB) efforts respond to these calls and disseminate digital risk management to recipient states. At a time where public administrations have not determined a position on CCB, global professional service firms have affirmed the importance of external third‐party knowledge on cybersecurity issues. They are “seeding the cloud” to benefit from the field as it matures. Through the application of the Strategic Action Field framework, I highlight how field dynamics are shaped through framing contests and reflected in the practices of policy production.
Public sector creativity as the origin of public sector innovation: A taxonomy and future research agenda
Authors: Houtgraaf Glenn , Kruyen Peter M. , van Thiel Sandra 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThis systematic literature review analyses how public servants apply workplace creativity to come up with ideas for public sector innovations, defining public sector creativity and analyzing its practices, features, trends, and hiatuses in knowledge for which we provide a future research agenda. Creativity is the origin of innovation. Public sector creativity, however, is theoretically undefined and underexamined, resulting in unclarity on what constitutes public sector creativity. We define public sector creativity as “public servants coming up with novel and useful ideas through various practices.” Our findings indicate that public servants apply at least six taxonomically distinctive creative practices, and although they are involved to different extent in generating the initial idea and thus do not always generate ideas autonomously, they are creative in finding alternative ways to come up with ideas. However, our review indicates hiatuses in knowledge on public sector creativity, for which we provide a future research agenda.

Authors: Mukhdomi Taif , Park James , Kendall Mark C. , Curran Sean , Apruzzese Patricia , De Oliveira Gildasio S. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractBackground and ObjectiveStudies with nonsignificant results are less likely to be published or published in lower impact factor journals. To determine whether a similar phenomenon occurs in pain literature, we explored impact factor bias in peer‐reviewed pain journals.MethodsA PubMed search involving randomized controlled trials in pain journals during 2012 through 2018 was performed. The primary outcome was the publication impact factor. Exclusion criteria included commentaries, editorials, meta‐analyses, reviews, and animal studies. The average impact factor for each journal was determined. The primary independent variable was a study with a positive outcome.ResultsOf the 9 journals evaluated, 1108 articles met our inclusion criteria and were included in our analysis. The quartiles for the impact factor for the journals included were 2.5, 2.9, and 3.6. A multivariate analysis identified sample size greater than 100, description of a sample size calculation, presence of a stated hypothesis, and presence of sponsorship funding as independent predictors of publication in a journal with greater impact factor. In contrast, positive results were not associated with publication in a greater impact factor journal, even when forced into the model, P = 0.49.ConclusionsAfter adjusting for study factors associated with publication, there is no evidence of impact factor bias within the pain literature. The lack of impact factor bias in the pain literature is a positive finding for the field and should benefit scientific development and the clinical care of patients.
Human papillomavirus—Inequalities in disease prevention and the impact on racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities
Authors: Junejo Muhammad Hyder , Sheikh Umar Ahmad 
Published: August 2021

AbstractHPV, a sexually transmitted viral infection, is the etiological agent of significant dermatologic disease including benign anogenital warts and invasive cancers. Sexual and gender minority individuals are particularly vulnerable to HPV‐associated disease due to reduced vaccination rates in these cohorts, low awareness of HPV, lack of provider recommendation, and inadequate consensus guidelines on screening and prevention in these individuals. A targeted approach is needed with regards to vaccination in all children —especially those from racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities; provider recommendation, especially from pediatric dermatologists, is crucial. Effort must also be made to use transgender and non‐binary affirming language as dividing vaccination programs by anatomic sex and sexuality reinforces problematic notions of gender identity and sexuality, isolating the most vulnerable.
One Health concepts and challenges for surveillance, forecasting, and mitigation of plant disease beyond the traditional scope of crop production

Published: August 2021

AbstractThe One Health approach to understanding disease epidemiology and achieving surveillance and prevention is holistic, while focusing on zoonotic diseases. Many of its principles are similar to those espoused in agroecology, begetting the question of what One Health can contribute—in practice—to preventing plant disease. Here we describe four knowledge challenges for plant health management that have arisen from the One Health experience for zoonotic diseases that could boost prospects for novel approaches to plant disease surveillance, prediction, and prevention. The challenges are to (a) uncover reservoirs and revise pathogen life histories, (b) elucidate drivers of virulence beyond the context of direct host–pathogen interactions, (c) account for the natural highways of long‐distance dissemination (i.e., surface water and air mass movement), and (d) update disease forecasts in the face of changing land use, cultivation practices, and climate. Furthermore, we note that implementation of a One Health approach to disease surveillance and prevention will require mobilization of tools to deal with the representation and accessibility of massive and heterogeneous data and knowledge; with knowledge inference, data science, modelling, and pattern recognition; and multi‐actor approaches that unite different sectors of society as well as different scientific disciplines. The infrastructure to build and the obstacles to overcome for a bona fide One Health approach to disease surveillance and prevention are key commonalities where actors in the efforts to prevent zoonotic diseases and plant disease can work together for the management of biodiversity and consequently human, animal, and plant health.

Published: August 2021

BackgroundThere are no liquid oral glucocorticoids labelled for management of pruritus and clinical lesions of feline hypersensitivity dermatitis (feline HD).HypothesisFirst, to demonstrate that dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DexSP, DexajectSP, Henry Schein; Dublin, OH, USA; 4 mg/mL), an intravenous glucocorticoid, can be absorbed by healthy cats when administered orally. Second, to demonstrate the efficacy of orally administered DexSP for reducing pruritus and clinical lesions in patients with feline HD.AnimalsSeven healthy and 12 client‐owned cats with HD.Methods and materialsHealthy cats were administered a single dose of 0.2 mg/kg DexSP p.o. and serum concentrations were measured using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Feline HD patients were assessed with SCORing Feline Allergic Dermatitis (SCORFAD) and pruritus Visual Analog Scale (pVAS) at Visit 1 (V1) and after 20–31 days of receiving 0.2 mg/kg/day DexSP p.o. (V2). Complete blood cell counts, serum chemistry profile, and urinalysis were performed in 50% of feline HD patients at both visits.ResultsHealthy cats had detectable serum concentrations of DexSP following oral administration; concentrations ranged from 0.7 to 92.3 ng/mL. Feline HD patients showed significant decreases in SCORFAD and pVAS scores from V1 to V2.ConclusionsDexSP was absorbed when administered orally to healthy cats and 0.2 mg/kg/day DexSP is an efficacious dose to rapidly improve the pruritus and clinical lesions associated with feline HD.
State‐of‐the‐art review of human autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBD)
Authors: Zeng Faith A.P. , Murrell Dedee F. 
Published: August 2021

Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs) are a heterogenous group of skin conditions, broadly classified into two categories depending on the location of blister formation: intraepidermal blistering in the pemphigus group and subepidermal blistering in the pemphigoid group. Although AIBDs occur in both humans and animals, the arsenal of data for human AIBDs far exceeds those of their animal counterpart. Therefore, the main purpose of this review is to highlight existing knowledge, and recent advances in the diagnosis and management of AIBDs in humans – to serve as a road map for veterinary dermatologists.Areas coveredRecent findings include complement‐independent pathways in the pathogenesis of bullous pemphigoid, as well as the role of desmoglein and desmocollin autoantibodies in inducing acantholysis. Systemic glucocorticoids are the mainstay of treatment for AIBDs in humans, yet their long‐term use is associated with severe adverse effects and complications, thereby limiting their use. Therefore, researchers have been exploring new and safer alternative therapeutic options for human AIBDs such as anti‐CD20 monoclonal antibodies (Rituximab), Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) and neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blockers.Expert opinionRandomised controlled trial (RCT) level evidence show that Rituximab and short‐course GC regimes are more effective and safer than traditional GC treatment for human AIBDs. FcRn blockers such as SYNT001 have shown positive results in preliminary phase 2 clinical trials for treatment of human pemphigus; further trials are required. Rilzabrutinib (PRN1008), an orally administered BTKi, has recently completed phase 2 trials in pemphigus and is in a phase 3 RCT in humans.

Published: August 2021

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the accuracy of six depth gauges used in three tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) plate holes.Study designEx vivo experimental study.Animals and sample populationCadaveric canine limbs (n = 10), one 25‐mm‐thick wood board, and one 33.8‐mm‐diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe.MethodsA TPLO was performed on 10 canine cadaveric pelvic limbs. Three 3.5‐mm plate holes were filled with screws. The remaining three plate holes: a compression hole, a combination compression‐locking hole, and a stacked combination compression‐locking hole were measured by three observers using six commercial depth gauges and using a micrometer as gold standard. The process was repeated on one wood board and one PVC pipe.ResultsBone measurements collected using two depth gauges with base diameter < 5 mm were smaller than measurements collected using the four depth gauges with base diameter > 5.5 mm (p ranging from < .001 to .038). Mean depth gauge measurements were smaller than micrometer measurements by 2.20 mm for the compression hole, 0.82 mm for the combination hole, and 3.57 mm for the stacked combination hole. Measurement differences among depth gauges were also present for wood board and PVC pipe measurements. Bone measurement variability between depth gauges was less for the combination and compression holes than for the stacked combination hole.ConclusionDepth gauges lacked accuracy. Measurements differed among gauges and measurement variability varied based on plate hole geometry.Clinical relevanceDepth gauge measurement accuracy varies based on measuring devices and on 3.5‐mm plate hole geometry.

Published: August 2021

AbstractThis paper is aimed to investigate a stochastic predator-prey model with disease in both species, which is also considered with ratio-dependent type functional response and nonlinear incidence rate. First, the existence and uniqueness of positive solution is discussed. Then, some sufficient conditions are established to ensure the solution is stochastically ultimate boundedness and permanent. Also, the extinction of susceptible prey, infected prey, susceptible predator and infected predator are analyzed, respectively. Furthermore, the boundedness of moments and upper-growth rate estimation are investigated. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate our main results.
Chatter Stability of Serrated Milling Tools in Frequency Domain
Authors: Farahani Nima Dabiri , Altintas Yusuf 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Serrated milling tools are widely used for chatter suppression in roughing difficult-to-cut Titanium and Nickel alloys in the aerospace industry. Due to the complexity of chip generation and serration wave geometries ground on the flutes, the chatter stability diagrams are predicted with time marching numerical simulation or semi-discrete time-domain methods, which are computationally too costly to use in practice. This paper presents a frequency domain model of milling dynamics with variable delays caused by the flute serrations. The endmill is divided into discrete cylindrical elements, each having a different radius from the cutter axis. As the cutter rotates and cuts metal, the angular distance between the subsequent tooth varies as a function of serration amplitudes and feedrate; hence, the regenerative delays vary. The angular delays and effective directional factors are averaged for each tooth to form a time-independent but serration-dependent characteristics equation for all discrete cutter elements. The stability of the resulting characteristic equation of the system is solved using Nyquist theory and compared against the experimental results and existing time marching and semi-discrete time-domain solutions. The proposed analytical model predicts the stability charts about 30 times faster than the time-domain models while providing acceptable accuracy.
Algal Biomass Harvesting Using Low-Grade Waste Heat: Investigation of Dewatering Algal Suspension by Evaporation
Authors: Yazdi Ramin E. , Garoma Temesgen 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
This study investigated the feasibility of harvesting algae biomass using an original and novel method that uses low-grade waste heat with an integrated heat exchanger, evaporation tank, and reservoir system. Several experiments were conducted. The experimental results showed good agreement with theoretical results estimated with a stagnant-film model. As the inlet gas temperature increased from 175 to 245 °C, the evaporation rate increased by 100%, while an 85% increase was achieved as the air speed increased from 0 to 3.5 m/s. It was also observed that the evaporation rate slightly decreased when doubling the volume of the reservoir while it is independent of the duration of experiment. The amount of lipid extracted from centrifuged algae was slightly higher than algae harvested by evaporation. However, the total amount of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) was significantly higher, by 24%, for the algae harvested by evaporation compared with centrifugation. The FAMEs profiles were the same for both methods and about 98% of FAMEs were C-16 and C-18 carbon chains which are the main components of the algal biodiesel. The method has a potential to be developed into a cost-effective and energy efficient algal biomass dewatering method. It uses low-grade waste heat, which is cheap and readily available, and has simple and inexpensive structure. It was also demonstrated that modifying the proposed system, by adding a second heat exchanger in series, improved the water evaporation rate by 58–121%, depending on the operating conditions.
Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Performance of Al2O3/Water and TiO2/Water Nanofluids in Tube Fitted With Simple or Modified Spiral Tape Inserts
Authors: Khurana Deepak , Subudhi Sudhakar 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The present paper deals with the forced convection and pressure drop of Al2O3/water and TiO2/water nanofluids with the presence of inserts in a circular tube. The constant heat flux is maintained around the copper tube with the help of a nichrome wire heater. Two types of inserts are used: simple and modified spiral tape inserts. The modified spiral tape is consisting of zig-zag cuts having notches (or grooves) and projected parts. The Nusselt number, friction factor, and thermal performance factor are calculated for different cases: (1) tube with distilled water, (2) tube with distilled water and inserts, and (3) tube with nanofluids and inserts. The empirical correlations are developed for all these cases. For Al2O3/water nanofluids, the Nu values decrease with the increase in concentrations, whereas for TiO2/water nanofluids, the Nu values have highest at 0.05% concentration; then, there is a decreasing order with the concentrations of 0.075% and 0.1%. It is observed that modified spiral tape inserts with twist ratios of 3.04 and 4.35 effectively enhance the heat transfer without extra penalty of pumping power.
Confidence in Flame Impulse Response Estimation From Large Eddy Simulation With Uncertain Thermal Boundary Conditions
Authors: Kulkarni Sagar , Guo Shuai , Silva Camilo F. , Polifke Wolfgang 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Thermoacoustic stability analysis is an essential part of the engine development process. Typically, thermoacoustic stability is determined by hybrid approaches. These approaches require information on the flame dynamic response. The combined approach of advanced system identification (SI) and large eddy simulation (LES) is an efficient strategy to compute the flame dynamic response to flow perturbation in terms of the finite impulse response (FIR). The identified FIR is uncertain due in part to the aleatoric uncertainties caused by applying SI on systems with combustion noise and partly due to epistemic uncertainties caused by lack of knowledge of operating or boundary conditions. Carrying out traditional uncertainty quantification techniques, such as Monte Carlo, in the framework of LES/SI would be computationally prohibitive. As a result, the present paper proposes a methodology to build a surrogate model in the presence of both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties. Specifically, we propose a univariate Gaussian Process (GP) surrogate model, where the final trained GP takes into account the uncertainty of SI and the uncertainty in the combustor back plate temperature, which is known to have a considerable impact on the flame dynamics. The GP model is trained on the FIRs obtained from the LES/SI of turbulent premixed swirled combustor at different combustor back plate temperatures. Due to the change in the combustor back plate temperature the flame topology changes, which in turn influences the FIR. The trained GP model is successful in interpolating the FIR with confidence intervals covering the “true” FIR from LES/SI.
