An 88‐item Community Health Needs Assessment survey was used that included demographic questions and questions related to five domains including community concerns, community resources, healthcare access, health concerns, and hunger and nutrition.ResultsThere were a total of 100 participants in the community needs assessment. Hunger and nutrition was the highest ranking community concern followed by healthcare access.ConclusionBased upon the results of the study, the university researchers and Hispanic faith community members have begun the initial steps to developing a research agenda to address the major concerns of the community.
Differential Effects of Received Trade Credit and Provided Trade Credit on Firm Value
Authors: Astvansh Vivek , Jindal Niket 
Published: September 2021

With over half a trillion dollars in trade credit flowing between firms in the United States, it is critically important for managers to understand how the trade credit that their firm receives and provides affect its value. Trade credit is a strategic investment in supply chain relationships that allows the recipient to make payment later rather than at the time of the sale. A firm provides trade credit to its downstream business customers and also receives trade credit from its upstream suppliers. Although research has shown that provided trade credit builds a firm's shareholder value, it has not examined what effect, if any, received trade credit has on the firm's value. As a result, one might assume that received trade credit affects firm value in the same manner as provided trade credit. We argue otherwise and show that received trade credit and provided trade credit have differential effects on firm value. Received trade credit has a negative direct effect and a positive indirect effect (through profit), whereas provided trade credit has a positive direct effect and a negative indirect effect. The difference in direct effects hinges on the disparate nature of dependence in the supply chain. Provided trade credit increases customers' dependence on the firm, building the firm's value. In contrast, received trade credit increases the firm's dependence on its suppliers, destroying the firm's value. Empirical results using a sample of 2804 firms from 1986 to 2017 provide robust support for the hypotheses. They show that managers risk overestimating the value of a 1 SD increase in received (provided) trade credit by $284.74 ($74.95) million, on average, if they do not consider both the direct and indirect effects it has on their firm's value.
Canker and wood rot pathogens present in young lemon orchards in south‐west Arizona
Authors: Hu Jiahuai , Wright Glenn C. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractCanker and wood rots are economically important preharvest diseases of lemons in south‐western Arizona, where commercial lemon production is concentrated. However, the aetiology and epidemiology of canker and wood rots are not well understood. This study comprised a large survey of canker and wood rot incidence and severity in Arizona and the characterization of fungal species associated with the disease. A total of 5431 trees with ages ranging from 1 to 20 years old in 10 lemon orchards were surveyed from 2018 to 2020. Our survey results revealed that canker and wood rot occurred in all 10 lemon orchards studied. Canker and brown rots of twigs, branches, and trunks were the most prevalent symptoms of affected trees ranging from 1 to 20 years old. In contrast, canker and white rots of twigs and branches were observed mostly on 1‐ to 5‐year‐old trees. Disease incidence for both diseases was less than 2% on 1‐ and 2‐year‐old trees. Brown rot increased significantly in older trees, ranging from 62.9% to 100%. Fungi were isolated from canker and wood rot samples and identified based on morphological characters and DNA sequences. Fomitopsis meliae and Hypoxylon macrocarpum were the primary canker and wood rot pathogens isolated from the surveyed orchards, at frequencies of 89% and 11%, respectively. In pathogenicity tests, both fungi were capable of causing canker and wood rots on lemon cv. Lisbon branches and the necrotic length caused by F. meliae was twofold greater than that caused by H. macrocarpum.
Winners and losers: Conflict management through strategic policy engagement
Authors: Olofsson Kristin L. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractIn high‐conflict policy debates, individuals often make strategic decisions about the ways in which they engage in efforts to influence the direction of the debate. Some individuals act to expand the scope of the conflict, whereas others would prefer to contain the scope of the conflict and maintain status quo. This study empirically examines the relationship between activities of political engagement and goals of conflict expansion or containment in a particular setting in which there are clear “winners” and “losers.” This research first explores the tactics an individual undertakes as either conflict expansion or containment. The patterns uncovered are then tested against sectoral affiliation, to draw conclusions about key factors that explain some variation in policy engagement. Findings confirm that there are predictable patterns to engagement decisions, paving the way for future testing in different policy arrangements.

AbstractIntroductionFollow‐up studies of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) are scarcely reported.MethodsWe studied 142 hospitalized KTR for a median (interquartile range) follow‐up of 9 (8–11) months who recovered from SARS‐CoV‐2 during May 2020 to Dec 2020. The outcomes were to assess persistent symptoms post‐discharge; EuroQoL visual analogue score (EQ‐VAS); EuroQoL 5‐dimension score (E5‐QD‐5L) score and modified medical research dyspnea score (mMRC) at 1 month, 3‐month, and beyond 6 months. Graft outcome was also analyzed.ResultsThe age of the cohort was 43 (34–69) years and COVID‐19 severity ranged from asymptomatic (4%), mild (50%), moderate (35%) to severe (12%).The most common persistent symptom was fatigue which significantly decreased in the follow‐up (n = 45 [32.3] vs. 10 [7.4] vs. 4 [2.9]; p‐value = 0.001) at 1‐month, 3‐month, and beyond 6 months respectively. Decrement in the mean (standard deviation) EQ‐VAS score from baseline was also improved (28.6 [13] vs. 10.4 [12.5] vs. 7.5 [12.0]; p‐value = 0.012). There was significant improvement in all EQ‐5D‐5L scores in follow‐up. There was no deterioration in mMRC scores during the follow‐up (n = 4, 3% vs. 7, 5% vs. 3, 2%; p‐value = 0.86). Cases requiring oxygen had significantly poorer overall scores initially, but there was no difference at 6 months. All 10 graft losses had oxygen requirement and chronic graft dysfunction at baseline.ConclusionOur initial assessment reports significant improvement in the quality of life in follow‐up. The majority recovered from allograft dysfunction. Further research is warranted to study the full spectrum of follow‐up.

BackgroundAnecdotally, amikacin has been added to compounded topical preparations for the management of canine bacterial otitis externa. However, the stability of amikacin within these solutions is unknown.Hypothesis/ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the stability of amikacin at 10 and 30 mg/mL concentrations in four topical solutions over a 56 day period. We hypothesised that amikacin would maintain chemical stability within the various solutions.Methods and materialsAmikacin was formulated to 10 and 30 mg/mL (1% and 3%) concentrations within four topical solutions: tris‐EDTA (TrizEDTA Aqueous Flush) (TE); 0.15% chlorhexidine gluconate and tris‐EDTA (TrizCHLOR Flush) (TC); 0.9% NaCl (NA); and 0.9% NaCl + 2 mg/mL dexamethasone (ND). Samples were made in duplicate and stored at room temperature (25°C) for 0, 7,14, 21, 28 and 56 days. Amikacin content was quantified, in triplicate, by ultrahigh‐performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.ResultsThe recovered amikacin concentrations for the 10 mg/mL solutions ranged from 10 to 13.5 mg/mL (mean 11.5 mg/mL) with the exception of NA sample 2 at Day (D)0 (9.4 mg/mL) and D7 (9.2 mg/mL). The recovered amikacin concentrations for the 30 mg/mL solutions ranged from 30 to 40.2 mg/mL (mean 35.7 mg/mL). No significant difference was seen between the amikacin concentrations at D0 compared to D56 for all solutions except 10 mg/mL TE (P < 0.001).Conclusions and clinical relevanceAmikacin maintained stability within TE, TC, NA and ND over 56 days except when formulated at 10 mg/mL within TE.
Practical Considerations for Coaching Athletes With Learning Disabilities and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Authors: Thurston Rhys J. , Alexander Danielle M. , Michaud Mathieu 
Published: September 2021

Learning disabilities and neurodevelopmental disorders are the most prevalent disabilities that affect learning. This paper will provide practical recommendations and observations for coaching athletes with three common learning disabilities (dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia) and two neurodevelopmental disorders (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder). Adapted from the literature and in conjunction with previous experiences, the authors provided a range of recommendations for coaches to consider implementing within their practices. The recommendations place an emphasis on the knowledge, strategies, and behaviors of the coach and their role in providing an inclusive, safe, and accessible space for athletes—with or without disabilities—rather than problematizing the disability or the person. Coaches are encouraged to consider their coaching environment (i.e., structure, physical elements, equipment), communication styles (i.e., language, delivery, feedback), and behaviors (e.g., frequent check-ins, review of material). Furthermore, coaches are encouraged to critically reflect on their preconceived biases, assumptions, and experiences with disability and how these play a role in influencing their coaching practices.Considering the prevalence of people with learning disabilities or neurodevelopmental disorders, it is essential for coaches to have access to disability-specific information while remaining cognizant of the needs of the individual when providing an inclusive environment for all.

ObjectiveTo assess the utilisation of and funding structure for fertility preservation for children diagnosed with cancer in the UK.DesignSurvey of paediatric oncologists/haematologists. Questionnaires were sent electronically with reminder notifications to non-responders.SettingUK Paediatric Oncology Principal Treatment Centres (PTCs).ParticipantsPaediatric oncologists/haematologists with an interest in the effects of treatment on fertility representing the 20 PTCs across the UK.Main outcome measuresReferral practices, sources and length of funding for storage of gametes or gonadal tissue for children diagnosed with cancer in the preceding 12 months.ResultsResponses were received from 18 PTCs (90%) with responses to 98.3% of questions. All centres had referred patients for fertility preservation: ovarian tissue collection/storage 100% (n=18 centres), sperm banking 100% (n=17; one centre was excluded due to the age range of their patients), testicular tissue storage 83% (n=15), mature oocyte collection 35% (n=6; one centre was excluded due to the age range of their patients). All centres with knowledge of their funding source reported sperm cryopreservation was NHS funded. Only 60% (n=9) centres reported the same for mature oocyte storage. Of the centres aware of their funding source, half reported that ovarian and testicular tissue storage was funded by charitable sources; this increased in England compared with the rest of the UK.ConclusionsInequality exists in provision of fertility preservation for children with cancer across the UK. There is lack of formalised government funding to support international guidelines, with resultant geographical variation in care. Centralised funding of fertility preservation for children and young adults is needed alongside establishment of a national advisory panel to support all PTCs.

Intracranial abscesses are uncommon, serious and life-threatening infections. A brain abscess is caused by inflammation and collection of infected material, coming from local or remote infectious sources. Patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis are prone to invasive bacterial infections like methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) especially in the presence of central venous catheters or arteriovenous grafts. However, intracranial abscess formation due to MRSA is rare. Here, we present a case of MRSA brain abscess with an atypical clinical presentation in the absence of traditional risk factors.Intracranial abscesses are uncommon, serious, and life-threatening infections.

However intracranial abscess formation due to MRSA is rare. Here we present a case of MRSA brain abscess with an atypical clinical presentation in the absence of traditional risk factors. A 46-year-old male with chronic kidney disease (CKD) secondary to chronic glomerulonephritis, on haemodialysis for 4 years through a left brachio-cephalic AVF developed an episode of generalised tonic-clonic seizures lasting 2 min during his scheduled dialysis session. He reported no complaints before entry to the dialysis. On clinical examination, he was drowsy with the absence of any focal motor deficits. His blood pressure was recorded to be 200/120 mm Hg. He was managed in the intensive care unit with mechanical ventilation, intravenous nitroglycerine for blood pressure control, levetiracetam for seizures and empirical vancomycin. Radiological evaluation showed a brain abscess in the midline involving bosth basi-frontal lobes. After medical optimization, the abscess was drained surgically, and the pus cultured. As culture grew Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, he was treated with intravenous vancomycin for 6 weeks. On follow up, the abscess had resolved and the patient recovered without any neurological deficits.
Studies on the prevalence of blindness in Ethiopia: a protocol for the systematic review and meta-analysis

Published: September 2021

Introduction
Blindness refers to a lack of vision and/or defined as presenting visual acuity worse than 3/60 in the better eye. Its highest proportion has been conforming to the developing countries such as Ethiopia. So, timely information is crucial to design strategies. However, the study on the magnitude of blindness in Ethiopia was outdated, that means it was conducted in 2005–2006. Therefore, this protocol has been proposed to estimate the pooled prevalence of blindness in Ethiopia to provide up-to-date, comprehensive evidence on this theme.

BackgroundThe association of physical activity with the development and progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores has not been studied. This study aimed to evaluate the prospective association between physical activity and CAC scores in apparently healthy adults.MethodsProspective cohort study of men and women free of overt cardiovascular disease who underwent comprehensive health screening examinations between 1 March 2011 and 31 December 2017. Baseline physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and categorised into three groups (inactive, moderately active and health-enhancing physically active (HEPA)). The primary outcome was the difference in the 5-year change in CAC scores by physical activity category at baseline.ResultsWe analysed 25 485 participants with at least two CAC score measurements. The proportions of participants who were inactive, moderately active and HEPA were 46.8%, 38.0% and 15.2%, respectively. The estimated adjusted average baseline CAC scores (95% confidence intervals) in participants who were inactive, moderately active and HEPA were 9.45 (8.76, 10.14), 10.20 (9.40, 11.00) and 12.04 (10.81, 13.26). Compared with participants who were inactive, the estimated adjusted 5-year average increases in CAC in moderately active and HEPA participants were 3.20 (0.72, 5.69) and 8.16 (4.80, 11.53). Higher physical activity was association with faster progression of CAC scores both in participants with CAC=0 at baseline and in those with prevalent CAC.ConclusionWe found a positive, graded association between physical activity and the prevalence and the progression of CAC, regardless of baseline CAC scores.
