Sinonasal Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma: A Brief Review of Literature
Authors: Middleton Charles E. , Manucha Varsha 
Published: January 2021

Objective
Review the clinical, histologic, and molecular features of sinonasal mucoepidermoid carcinoma (SN-MEC) with emphasis on the application and prognostic significance of MAML2 rearrangement.

Main points
Location of MEC in the sinonasal region accounts for less than 0.1% of primary sinonasal malignancies. Primary SN-MEC most commonly affects the maxillary sinuses, and the mean age at diagnosis is 57 years. MAML2 translocation status aids in diagnosis but has no bearing on prognosis. The most significant prognostic criteria for SN-MEC are older age, tumor size gerater than 4 cm, higher grade, and advanced American Joint Committee on Cancer stage.

Conclusions
SN-MEC is a rare entity that presents at a higher grade and has lower 5-year disease-specific survival when compared with MEC of the major salivary glands. Correct recognition is important because of the impact on clinical management and prognosis.
Evidence-Based Secondary Transition Predictors for Physical Therapists Working With High School Students
Authors: Doty Antonette , Ray Laurie , Clark Kelly , Bethune Lauren , Test David 
Published: January 2021

Purpose:
Individuals with disabilities experience poorer postschool outcomes compared with their peers without disabilities. Youth with orthopedic or physical disabilities experience challenges during transition particularly in the areas of education and employment. Physical therapists should continue to become more involved in transition planning and providing services for transition-age students with physical disabilities. The purpose of this article is to clarify the role of physical therapists who work with students who have disabilities, as they transition from high school to postsecondary roles as well as provide the current evidence-based predictors of postschool success and recommended practices to school-based physical therapists who work with these students.

Summary of Key Points:
Evidence-based instructional practices for secondary students with disabilities and identified in-school predictors of postschool success for students with disabilities are aligned with effective practices for physical therapists. Additionally, suggestions for involving physical therapists in transition planning and increasing collaboration in providing transition services for students with disabilities are provided.

Statement of Conclusions:
Physical therapists can provide critical expertise for many individuals with disabilities; however, they are not always included effectively in transition planning and services for students with disabilities.

Recommendations for Clinical Practice:
Recommendations for practice include ways to involve physical therapists in transition planning and services and increasing collaboration between teachers, physical therapists, and other members of the Individualized Education Program team to provide effective, comprehensive transition services.
Application of Virtual Planning for Three-Dimensional Guided Maxillofacial Reconstruction of Pruzansky-Kaban III Hemifacial Microsomia Using Custom Made Fixation Plate
Authors: Liu Kai , Xu Yuting , Abdelrehem Ahmed , Jiang Tengfei , Wang Xudong 
Published: January 2021

Purpose:
Pruzansky-Kaban III hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a rare congenital facial deformity, and it is challenging to reconstruct the facial appearance. The aim of the present study was to describe a technique of application of virtual planning for three-dimensional (3D) guided maxillofacial reconstruction of Pruzansky-Kaban III HFM using custom made fixation plate.

Methods:
With the help of 3D models, a preoperative virtual planning and surgical simulation were performed. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) patient customized guides and custom fixation plates were designed to reconstruct the maxillofacial skull intraoperatively. Assessment was achieved through evaluation of the postoperative effects, such as imaging, facial appearance recovery and operation time.

Results:
Five patients with Pruzansky-Kaban III HFM were enrolled into this study. The results showed an exceptional accuracy between the preoperative virtual planning and the outcomes actually achieved postoperatively. Intraoperative measurements were no longer needed and the different surgical steps became more simple and easier. The total time was distributed as: 160 minutes for the surgical time, 40 minutes for preoperative virtual plan, and 80 minutes for designing the patient specific cutting guides and custom fixation plates. The operating time and tissue damage were reduced. All cases underwent uneventful healing without any complications.

Conclusion:
The technique of patient specific guides and custom fixation plates is a reliable method of conveying the virtual plan to the operative field with higher efficiency in patients with Pruzansky-Kaban III HFM.

Authors: Santamaría Eric , Galaso-Trujillo José Roberto , Palafox Damián , Mainardi Soledad Rubio , García Rigoberto Arámburo , Romero Andrea Carrillo , Rangel Walter Angel Trujillo 
Published: January 2021

Intro and Aim:
The morbidity at the donor-site in the free fibula flap is a well-studied fact in the adult population, but in children, there are few reports of the long-term adverse effects at the donor site. In this study, we evaluate donor-site morbidity, complications, and functional outcome in pediatric patients undergoing free fibula flap harvest for mandibular or maxillary reconstruction, and the relation between pain and walking abilities.

Methods:
A retrospective study of 22 pediatric patients undergoing free fibula flap harvest for mandibular and maxillary reconstruction between 2003 and 2014 was conducted. A certified point evaluation system was used, analyzing several factors like pain, walking ability, restriction in activities, gait alteration, paresthesia, and cosmetic appearance, and the relationship between variables.

Results:
Mean age follow up of patient was 8.5 years (range 2–13 years). Pain was reported in 27% (n = 6), paresthesia and numbness 9% (n = 2), walking ability alteration in 50% (n = 11), restriction in activities in 18% (n = 4), gait alteration in 23% (n = 5), and cosmetic appearance alteration in the 14% (n = 3). We compare the pain and the gait alteration and did not find any relation between pain and gait alteration (P = 0.6016) and there was no relation between restriction in activities and walking ability (P = 0.1455).

Conclusion:
Free fibula flap is the gold standard for head and neck reconstruction, but the morbidity at the donor site, especially in a growing child, should not be ignored or minimized when counseling patients and their families.
More studies, with more population and with a long-term follow-up should be carried out to determine the impact on the daily activities on the pediatric population.

Published: January 2021

Abstract
The compulsory use of helmet by motorcyclists has lowered the incidence of facial trauma, but there are few studies evaluating the effects of different helmet types on such injuries. The authors collected retrospective data from the medical records of 287 motorcyclists presenting facial injuries treated at the maxillofacial surgery department of the “University Magna Graecia” of Catanzaro city in South Italy between 1 January 2007 and 1 August 2018. Patients were wearing 2 types of crash helmets at the time of the trauma, full face ones or open-face ones, and were compared using the Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS). Those wearing open-face helmet were 3 times more than those wearing full-face helmet, with a higher FISS score.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Italy's compulsory helmet law on the change in helmet use and in particular if protection offered by helmets w4as different according to helmet type. The authors correlated the FISS scores among motorcyclists wearing these 2 tipologies of crash helmet.

Authors: Kerbrat Adeline , Ferri Joel 
Published: January 2021

Purpose:Augmentation genioplasty corrects vertical chin deficiency. To stabilize the synthesis and to allow ossification, a biomaterial prop is necessary. Third molars are frequently removed during orthognathic surgery and provides good material used as autogenous grafts.Surgical Technique:This article describes the surgical technique of an augmentation genioplasty using a third molar as a prop biomaterial. Results are stable in time. This technique presents no risk of infection and is less invasive than other autogenous bone graft.Conclusions:third molar can be used as a prop biomaterial in augmentation genioplasty
Multimodal Evoked Potential Profiles in Woodhouse–Sakati Syndrome
Authors: Abusrair Ali , AlHamoud Iftetah , Bohlega Saeed 
Published: January 2021

Purpose:
Woodhouse–Sakati syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome caused by homozygous mutations in the DCAF17 gene, characterized by marked neurologic and endocrine manifestations in the setting of brain iron accumulation and white matter lesions on neuroimaging. Here, we report electrophysiologic profiles in Woodhouse–Sakati syndrome and their possible value in understanding disease pathophysiology and phenotypic variability.

Methods:
Thirteen genetically confirmed Woodhouse–Sakati syndrome patients were evaluated via different evoked potential (EP) modalities, including brainstem auditory EPs, pattern reversal visual EPs, and somatosensory EPs to tibial and/or median nerves.

Results:
All EP modalities showed variable abnormalities. Pattern reversal visual EPs were recorded in all patients, with nine patients exhibiting abnormal results. From those, seven patients showed prolonged P100 latencies after stimulation of right and left eyes for each in turn. Two patients showed P100 latency abnormality after single eye stimulation recorded from midoccipital electrode. Median somatosensory EPs were recorded in 10 patients, with 6 patients having a prolonged cortical N19 response. Tibial somatosensory EP was performed for 11 patients, and 8 patients showed abnormal results where P37 cortical response was absent or prolonged, whereas peripheral potentials at the popliteal fossa were normal. Brainstem auditory EPs were abnormal only in two patients, with prolonged wave III and V latencies. Five patients with hearing impairment presented with normal brainstem auditory EP results.

Conclusions:
Multiple EP abnormalities are observed in Woodhouse–Sakati syndrome patients, mainly in pattern reversal visual EPs and somatosensory EPs. These findings indicate potential myelin dysfunction that has a role in the underlying pathophysiology, disease course, and phenotypic variability.

AbstractTo counter the second COVID-19 wave in autumn 2020, the Italian government introduced a system of physical distancing measures organized in progressively restrictive tiers (coded as yellow, orange, and red) and imposed on a regional basis according to epidemiological risk assessments. The individuals’ attendance to locations outside the residential settings was progressively reduced with tiers, but less than during the national lockdown against the first COVID-19 wave in the spring. The reproduction number Rt decreased below the epidemic threshold in 85 out of 107 provinces after the introduction of the tier system, reaching average values of about 0.99, 0.89 and 0.77 in the yellow, orange and red tier, respectively. We estimate that the reduced transmissibility resulted in averting about 37% of the hospitalizations between November 5 and November 25, 2020. These results are instrumental to inform public health efforts aimed at preventing future resurgence of cases.
Household food waste: attitudes, barriers and motivations
Authors: Nunkoo Robin , Bhadain Meetali , Baboo Shabanaz 
Published: January 2021

PurposeFood waste at the household level represents a major component of all food waste. Therefore minimizing food waste at the household level remains an important component of the food chain responsibility. This study explores the problem of food waste in Mauritius through an understanding of households' attitudes toward food waste and their motivations and barriers to food waste recycling.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a grounded theory approach to identify thematic categories that represent participants' attitudes toward food waste and the barriers they face to food waste reduction. We used a purposive sampling technique to guide the selection of participants. Interviews were conducted with 14 participants: three experts in food waste and 11 households. The data were analyzed using the tools of grounded theory.FindingsParticipants' expressed views on food waste included (1) guilt toward wasting food; (2) (lack of) environmental awareness; (3) financial considerations and (4) exemption from responsibility. The findings also led to the development of four themes that defined the barriers participants face to recycling food waste: (1) lack of awareness; (2) space limitations on recycling methods; (3) inadequate policy and (4) lack of time/priority.Practical implicationsAddressing the problem of food waste requires a holistic approach that takes into account households' attitudes to food waste, their motivation and barriers to food waste recycling as well as the regulatory and institutional framework governing food waste management in Mauritius. Policymakers should try to improve households' knowledge about food waste through educational campaigns. The authorities can provide different types of bins to households freely to facilitate the sorting out of waste and impose a fee for food waste generated beyond a certain limit or provide subsidies to them for handling food waste properly.Originality/valueThe management of food waste is particularly challenging for small islands developing states because of their unique characteristics of smallness, limited resources and environmental vulnerability. Appropriate interventions to reduce household food waste require place-based and geographically sensitive analyses that take into account the specificities of local food and waste management systems and cultural norms with respect to food. However, there is not only a paucity of research on household food waste, but most studies have been carried out in nonisland economies. The study contributes to the limited research on household food waste in small islands.
Impact of organic and “protected designation of origin” labels in the perception of olive oil sensory quality
Authors: Spognardi Sara , Vistocco Domenico , Cappelli Lucio , Papetti Patrizia 
Published: January 2021

PurposeInvestigate the behaviour and the habits of the consumers from central-southern Italy in relation to extra olive oil consumption, focussing on the impact of protected designation of origin (PDO) and EU–organic certification on purchase intention and quality perception.Design/methodology/approachA specific questionnaire was submitted to 160 consumers; a subsample of ten experts, ten semi-experts and ten habitual consumers of olive oil tested, through a blind test first and a normal one then, three Italian samples: an extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) without certification, an organic EVOO and a PDO EVOO, which were characterised also from a chemical-physical point of view. The answers provided during the tastings were statistically analysed and compared.FindingsPeople interviewed prefer local olive oils; they are positively influenced by PDO/organic certification, while price is not a decisive factor on the purchasing choices. According to tasting panel results: experts gave consistent answers preferring organic olive oil, semi-experts are positively influenced by the PDO brand contrary to what they claimed; non-experts would buy EVOO, although they are positively influenced by the PDO brand and negatively by the organic certification.Practical implicationsOnly knowledge and experience can aid consumers make consistent and aware choices. Information campaigns could help them to distinguish products, correctly identify food attributes and overcome their scepticism towards quality of organic products.Originality/valueFew works investigated the impact of quality and sustainability labelling on perception of olive oils, valuing the consistency between answers provided before and after sensory assessments.
Does digital inclusive finance promote agricultural production for rural households in China? Research based on the Chinese family database (CFD)
Authors: Liu Yang , Liu Chunyu , Zhou Mi 
Published: January 2021

PurposeThe development of digital inclusive finance appears to be able to solve the difficulty of traditional finance, which cannot completely cover agriculture and farmers and provides better financial services and products to Chinese farmers. Thus, it improves the farmers' enthusiasm for agricultural production. The purpose of this paper is to clarify whether this goal is indeed being achieved.Design/methodology/approachThis paper theoretically analyzes the mechanism that influences the effect of digital inclusive finance on rural households' agricultural production decisions and conducts an empirical study based on a sample from the Chinese family database (CFD).FindingsFirst, the development of digital financial inclusion in general can encourage rural households to reduce agricultural production. Second, the negative effect of digital inclusive finance on households' agricultural output is realized by widening the gap between the efficiency of non-agricultural economic activities and the efficiency of agricultural production. The wider the gap is, the lower the enthusiasm of households for agricultural production. Third, the mediating effect of “digital financial inclusion – difference in efficiency – agricultural output” has a significant negative effect on households with low agricultural production efficiency, but not households with high agricultural production efficiency. Digital inclusive finance has no significant effect on the difference in efficiency between the two economic activities of high-efficiency households, but a greater difference in efficiency between the two economic activities corresponds to higher enthusiasm of households for agricultural production.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first to analyze the impact of digital financial inclusion on Chinese farmers' agricultural production. The findings of this study can provide policy-related insights to help local governments promote the development of digital finance in China's agricultural economy.
The case for internal communication: an investigation into consortia forming
Authors: Lemon Laura L. , Towery Nathan A. 
Published: January 2021

PurposeThe present study investigates the nature of newly formed organizations and how internal communication influences these entities, where change is inherent. Organizational life for government contractors is unusual in that employees experience routine changes to upper management, company values, goals and objectives every few years, which leads to the creation of a new consortium that is loosely coupled. Such research provides insight beyond the single-entity organization, which tends to dominate most public relations and internal communication literature.Design/methodology/approachGiven the lack of research exploring consortia and internal communication to get beyond the homogeneous organization, an in-depth case study methodology was the most appropriate approach. A multi-site government contractor was chosen as the research site, relying on interviews and focus groups (n = 77) to collect data.FindingsEffective internal communication practices are even more important for consortia, like government contractors, since employees of these organizations are guaranteed to experience frequent change. Therefore, communicating to the unknown audience, building trust in the absence of a prior connection, and preparing for the unintended consequences are imperative to navigating the complexity surrounding consortia forming and cultivating employee buy-in.Originality/valueThis study presents new, transferable knowledge of internal communication during consortia forming, where to be successful, internal communication needs anticipate the unintended consequences and develop a strategy around the uncertainty. Such strategy is about welcoming diverse voices and actively listening to their preferred needs. In addition, a definition of the unknown audience is provided.
