The Anterior Subcutaneous Pelvic Ring Fixator
Authors: Jordan Martin C. , Brems Anna-Christina , Heintel Timo , Jansen Hendrik , Hoelscher-Doht Stefanie , Meffert Rainer H. 
Published: October 2019

Background:
Subcutaneous fixation of the anterior pelvic ring is an emerging surgical technique for trauma patients. The aim of this study was to biomechanically evaluate 2 internal fixation devices for stabilizing a disrupted pelvic ring and compare them with traditional external fixation.

Methods:
Thirty-six synthetic pelvises with a simulated unstable ring fracture (anteroposterior compression type III) were divided into 3 groups. Group A underwent fixation with a supra-acetabular external fixator; group B, with an internal fixator using the USS II polyaxial system; and group C, with an internal fixator using the Click′X polyaxial system. Biomechanical testing included measurement of peak-to-peak displacement at 300, 400, and 500 N; total displacement; plastic deformation; stiffness; and fracture-line displacement.

Results:
Statistical analysis of all measured parameters revealed no significant differences among the groups. However, vertical displacement of the preshaped connecting rod within the screw heads occurred as a result of inadequate stability of the internal fixation at the rod-screw interface.

Conclusions:
Although internal fixator devices are placed close to the bone and should therefore maintain greater stiffness, our data did not support the hypothesis of superior stability. Special attention is required when using a curved connecting rod as the rod is easily displaced, placing relevant anatomical structures at risk. These devices require further refinement to avoid potential patient injury.
Validated Risk-Stratification System for Prediction of Early Adverse Events Following Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Closed Ankle Fractures

Published: October 2019

Background:
As orthopaedic surgery moves toward bundled payments, there is growing interest in identifying patients at high risk of early postoperative adverse events. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a risk-stratification system for the occurrence of early adverse events among patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for a closed fracture of the ankle.

Methods:
Patients undergoing ORIF for a closed ankle fracture during the period of 2006 to 2017, as documented by the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, were identified. For the 60% of patients randomly selected as the development cohort, multivariate Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to identify factors that were independently associated with the occurrence of adverse events (including events such as reoperation, surgical site infection, and pulmonary embolism). On the basis of these results, a nomogram analysis was used to generate a point-based risk-stratification system. To evaluate the validity of the point-based system, the system was applied to the remaining 40% of patients constituting the validation cohort and tested for its ability to predict adverse events.

Results:
Of the 7,582 patients in the development cohort, 455 developed an adverse event (estimated adverse event risk of 6%). On the basis of Cox proportional-hazards regression, patients were assigned points for each of the following significant risk factors: +1 point for age of 40 to 59 years, +3 points for age of 60 to 79 years, +5 points for age of ≥80 years, +1 point for female sex, +2 points for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), +2 points for insulin-dependent diabetes, +3 points for anemia, and +4 points for end-stage renal disease. The validation cohort included 5,263 patients. Among this second cohort, the risk-stratification system predicted the risk of early adverse events (p < 0.001; Harrell C = 0.697).

Conclusions:
The occurrence of early adverse events following ORIF for closed ankle fractures was associated with greater age, female sex, COPD, insulin-dependent diabetes, anemia, and end-stage renal disease. We present and validate a simple point-based risk-stratification system to predict the risk of early adverse events.

Combining Regularized Convolutional Neural Networks with Production Data Integration for Geologic Scenario Selection
Authors: Jiang Anyue , Jafarpour Behnam 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Reservoir model calibration against dynamic response data is often constrained by a prior conceptual model of geologic scenario that specifies the expected types of spatial variability and features in the solution. However, geologists have significant uncertainty in developing a conceptual model, e.g., due to limited data, process-based modeling assumptions, and subjectivity. Therefore, it is prudent to consider the uncertainty in the geologic scenario when solving the model calibration problem as it will provide an opportunity to utilize the response data in supporting or rejecting the proposed scenarios. We present a new approach for geologic scenario identification based on dynamic response data by combining gradient-based inversion for feature extraction and a convolutional neural network for feature recognition. To compactly represent each scenario while ensuring data sensitivity, the approach relies on extremely low-rank parameterization of individual geologic scenarios based on the Principal Components Analysis (PCA). The PCA basis elements of each scenario are then combined to capture the salient features in any of the scenarios, or their possible combinations. An iterative least-squares formulation is then formulated to detect scenarios that are supported by the observed data. The inversion results in an approximate (smooth) spatial solution that contains the dominant spatial patterns. A pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) is then used to identify the relevant geologic scenarios based on the reconstructed spatial solution. Two main advantages of the workflow include: (i) the ability to combine different scenarios if supported by data, instead of evaluating individual scenarios, and (ii) efficient gradient-based implementation that does not require extensive forward simulation runs. In addition, the training of CNN is implemented using only geologic realizations without requiring additional reservoir simulation. The performance of the workflow is evaluated using tomographic inversion and model calibration in fluvial reservoirs.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Background: Evaluation of clinical and functional results of a new extended depth of focus intraocular lens (EDOF-IOL).

Methods: Fourteen cataract patients (twenty-eight bilateral implantations) were assessed for uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities; uncorrected (UNVA), distance-corrected (DCNVA) and best corrected (CNVA) near visual acuities; and uncorrected (UIVA) and distance-corrected (DCIVA) intermediate visual acuities - as well as binocular defocus curves. Photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity was recorded. Reading acuity was evaluated using an electronic reading desk at fixed distances and at the patient’s preferred near and intermediate distances. Visual symptoms were assessed with a halo and glare simulator plus a patient questionnaire which also recorded quality of life.

Results: Median postoperative monocular UDVA was 0.13logMAR (range -0.08 to 0.42logMAR), median CDVA was -0.01logMAR (range -0.20 to 0.22logMAR), median UIVA at 80 cm was -0.05logMAR (range -0.18 to 0.58logMAR) and median UNVA at 40 cm was 0.14logMAR (range -0.10 to 0.64logMAR). Binocular uncorrected reading acuity was 0.10logMAR at 40 cm and 0.11logMAR at 80 cm. Patients preferred a median intermediate reading distance of 62.8 cm over the predetermined 80 cm, which allowed them to read smaller letter size but did not improve reading acuity. Patients reported a high rate of spectacle independence and satisfaction in everyday life and little to no dysphotopsia.

Conclusion: The Mini WELL Ready IOL provided good postoperative functional results at far and intermediate distances and improved the visual and reading acuity at reading distance. The lens caused little to no dysphotopsia.

Abstract
Background: The Treatment Burden Questionnaire (TBQ) is a self-reported measure of the effect of treatment workload on patient wellbeing. We sought to validate the TBQ in Spanish and use it to estimate the burden of treatment in Argentinian patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: The TBQ was forward-backward translated into Spanish. Two focus groups and 25 semi-structured interviews focused on wording and possible item exclusion. Validation was performed in 2 steps. First, 162 patients across a range of MS severity completed the questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis assessed the dimensional structure of the TBQ. Construct validity was assessed by studying correlations with fatigue and quality of life (QoL). Then, in a second cohort of 171 patients, we evaluated the association between TBQ scores and patients’ sex, age, education level, employment status, type of MS, disease duration, comorbidities, EDSS, pharmacological treatment and medication adherence. Results: The questionnaire presented a 3-factor structure in which burden was related to pharmacological treatment; comprehensive health assistance; and psycho-social-economic context. Composite reliability was > 0.8 for all factors. TBQ showed positive correlation with fatigue (rs= 0.467, p=0.006), negative correlation with QoL (rs -0.446, p=0.009). For the second cohort, total TBQ score was 43 (SD 29). Lowest scores were observed on self-monitoring (0.53, SD 1.3) and highest for administrative load (4.2, SD 3.4). Inverse association was found between the TBQ score and medication adherence (r 0.243 p=0.001). TBQ scores also correlated with daily patient pill/injection requirements (r 0.175 p=0.020). Individuals receiving injectable treatment scored higher than patients on oral drugs (total TBQ 51 (SD 32) vs 39 (SD 27) p=0.002). Conclusions: The TBQ in Spanish is a reliable instrument and showed adequate correlation with QoL and adherence scales in MS patients. TBQ may benefit health resources allocation and provide tailor therapeutic interventions to construct a minimally disruptive care.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Background: Dizziness is a common complaint, and the symptom often persists, together with additional complaints. A treatment combining of Vestibular Rehabilitation (VR) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is suggested. However, further research is necessary to evaluate the efficacy of such intervention. The objective of this paper is to present the design of a randomised controlled trial aiming at evaluating the efficacy of an integrated treatment of VR and CBT on dizziness, physical function, psychological complaints and quality of life in persons with persistent dizziness. Methods/Design: The randomised controlled trial is an assessor-blinded block randomised parallel-group design, with a 6- and 12- month follow-up. The study includes 125 participants from Bergen (Norway) and surrounding areas. Included participants present with persistent dizziness lasting at least 3 months, triggered or exacerbated by movement. All participants receive a one-session treatment (Brief Intervention) with VR before being randomised into a control-group or an intervention-group. The intervention-group will further be offered an eight-session treatment integrating VR and CBT. The primary outcomes in the study are the dizziness handicap inventory and preferred gait velocity. Discussion: Previous studies combining these treatments have been of varying methodological quality, with small samples, and long-term effects have not been maintained. In addition, only the CBT has been administered in supervised sessions, with VR offered as home-exercises. The current study focuses on the integrated treatment, sufficiently powered sample size, and a standardised treatment program evaluated by validated outcomes using a standardised assessment protocol. Trial registration: The study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02655575) on January 14th 2016.

Authors: Wang Jianan , Zheng Chengrong , Hou Bei , Huang Aihua , Zhang Xiongwei , Du Bin 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Background: Common carotid artery (CCA) occlusion (CCAO) is a rare condition. Owing to collateral circulation, ipsilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery (ECA) are often patent. Methods: This study included 16 patients with unilateral CCAO and patent ipsilateral ICA and ECA. The pathways which supplied ICA were investigated by digital subtraction angiography (DSA), transcranial Doppler (TCD), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and computed tomography angiography (CTA). Results: In all 16 patients, TCD found antegrade blood flow in ipsilateral ICA in all 16 patients, which was supplied by retrograde blood flow in ipsilateral ECA through carotid bifurcation. We call this phenomenon “ICA steal”. DSA and CTA discovered four pathways of ICA steal, including 1) ipsilateral vertebral artery – occipital artery – ECA – ICA, 2) ipsilateral thyrocervical trunk or costocervical trunk – ascending cervical artery or deep cervical artery – occipital artery – ECA – ICA, 3) contralateral ECA – contralateral superior thyroid artery – ipsilateral superior thyroid artery – ipsilateral ECA – ICA, and 4) ipsilateral thyrocervical trunk – inferior thyroid artery – superior thyroid artery – ECA – ICA. Conclusions: ICA is possible to be patent and supplied by several collateral circulation pathways after CCAO.
