Published: November 2024

Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to clarify the association between preoperative physical function and discharge destination after total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods
This retrospective study included patients who underwent primary unilateral THA for hip osteoarthritis. Preoperative physical function was assessed via maximal isometric muscle strength (hip abduction and knee extension) and comfortable walking speed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the discharge destination (home or transfer to other facilities). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify preoperative physical function associated with discharge destination.

Results
Of the 174 patients, 120 were discharged directly to home, and 54 were transferred to other facilities. Those transferred to other facilities were significantly older, more likely to live alone, and had a longer operation time. In addition, they demonstrated lower hip abductor strength on both sides and lower knee extensor strength on the operative side. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that hip abductor strength on both sides, not knee extensor strength, was independently associated with the discharge destination. The largest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.668 for the hip abductor strength of the contralateral side. The optimal cutoff point was revealed to be 0.035 kgf·m/kg and 0.031 kgf·m/kg for the operative and contralateral sides, respectively.

Conclusions
Preoperative hip abductor strength, particularly on the contralateral side with a cutoff value of 0.031 kgf·m/kg, could be a predictor of discharge destination after unilateral THA. Our findings would be useful in planning rehabilitation programs.
A novel miniaturized potentiometric electrode based on carbon nanotubes and molecularly imprinted polymer for the determination of lidocaine
Authors: Hassan Saad S. M. , Fathy Mahmoud Abdelwahab 
Published: November 2024

AbstractA novel miniaturized, solid-contact potentiometric screen-printed electrode was developed for highly sensitive and selective determination of lidocaine anesthetic. The electrode integrated single-walled carbon nanotubes as a solid-contact material and a molecularly imprinted polymer as a recognition sensory material. The performance characteristics of the electrode were evaluated and optimized to display a Nernstian slope of 58.92 ± 0.98 mV/decade over a linear concentration range of 4.53 × 10−7 to 6.18 × 10−3 mol/l within < 6 s. The detection limit was 7.75 × 10−8 mol/l (18.16 ng/ml) of lidocaine. The use of the molecularly imprinted polymer significantly enhanced the selectivity of the electrode, and carbon nanotubes increased the sensitivity, accuracy, and potential stability. The electrode was successfully used for determining lidocaine in pharmaceutical preparations and human urine. The results favorably compared with data obtained by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
People with HIV (PWH) have often experienced chronic stressors across their lifespan, including adverse childhood experiences (ACES), lifetime economic hardship (LEH), and concurrent stressors associated with living in urban areas (urban stress). Prolonged exposure to stressors might result in differential coping patterns among PWH that can impact care trajectories. We utilized a life course-informed approach to examine chronic stressors as antecedents of latent coping strategies among PWH in care. High-risk alcohol use and non-adherence to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) were examined as consequences of latent coping strategies. Data were utilized from the baseline and interim follow-up visit of the New Orleans Alcohol Use in HIV (NOAH) study. Three latent classes of coping strategies were identified: avoidance coping (31%), low-frequency coping (43%), and problem-solving coping (25%). Exposure to ACES was associated with greater use of avoidance versus low-frequency coping class at wave II. Urban stress was associated with greater use of avoidance coping compared to problem-solving or low-frequency coping classes at wave II. LEH was associated with greater use of low-frequency coping at wave II. Those utilizing low-frequency coping had a two-fold increase in ART non-adherence compared to problem-solving coping. PWH utilizing avoidance and low-frequency coping had a nearly two-fold increase in high-risk alcohol use versus problem-solving coping. These findings reveal important coping classifications that are linked to stressors across the life course of PWH. An understanding of coping styles and stressors may aid in improving the continuum of care among PWH by reducing alcohol use and improving medication adherence.

Published: November 2024

AbstractLicensure is an option for some autistic adolescents and families that increases mobility by enabling independent travel to employment, school, and social activities. The objective of this study was to identify current strategies used by healthcare providers (HCPs) in their guidance to autistic adolescents and families on the transition to independent driving. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 HCPs. The team’s previous research, literature review and expert feedback informed the development of the interview guide. A content analysis approach was used in the coding of transcripts, nine of which were double coded. Study team members reviewed coded transcripts, provided and discussed narrative summaries, and identified themes. Interviews were conducted with physicians, social workers, psychologists, therapist and a nurse practitioner. HCP identified their perceptions of autistic adolescents’ strengths and weaknesses to be addressed in their individualized approaches. They described using clinical interactions as time to address licensure and driving, but also referred to specialists as needed. HCPs described using existing resources, but also provided a wish list of future resources. HCPs use an individualized approach for guidance in the transition to independent driving, considering the unique needs of autistic adolescent patients and families. These HCPs identified a clear need for tailored resources and guidance they can use in support of independent driving when appropriate for their patients and families.

Authors: Vollmuth Yannik , Alelq Narjes Abdulhameed , Sattler Franziska , Schmidt Susanne , Hauck Fabian 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare inborn error of immunity (IEI) with an incidence of approximately 1:200,000 and the phenotypic triad of trichorrhexis invaginate (bamboo hair), congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, and multiple atopic manifestations. Treatment options especially in infants are scarce and generally not licensed.

Methods
Case report of a 9-week-old infant with NS treated with dupilumab off-label.

Results
We report rapid and sustained resolution of allergic inflammation, deep symptom control including normalization of the skin microbiome, and catch-up somatic and psychomotor development without adverse drug reactions.

Conclusion
Due to the high complication rate of NS, especially in the first years of life, we recommend treatment with dupilumab off-label immediately after the diagnosis has been established.

Published: November 2024

AbstractPatient monitoring in the perioperative setting can be challenging, especially when monitoring multiple patients simultaneously or managing dynamic situations that require movement around the operating room. We aimed to evaluate whether avatar-based patient monitoring, which presents vital signs in the form of changing colors, shapes and motion, improves remote vital sign recognition compared to conventional monitoring. We conducted a prospective, single-center, computer-based simulation study to evaluate how anesthesia providers recognize vital signs when using the Philips Visual Patient Avatar at different viewing distances (8 and 16 m) compared to conventional monitoring. The primary outcome was the total number of correctly identified vital signs which were compared for the two distances and the two devices using mixed Poisson regression. We analyzed data from 28 anesthesia providers who participated in 112 simulations. The correct recognition rate using the Visual Patient Avatar compared to conventional monitoring at 8 m was increased by 74% (rate ratio 1.74, 95% CI, 1.42 to 2.14, p < 0.001) and by 51% at 16-meter viewing distance (rate ratio 1.51, 95% CI, 1.23 to 1.87, p < 0.001). We observed scenario-specific superior performance for six vital signs at 8 m. The results provide empirical evidence that avatar-based monitoring can significantly improve the perception of vital signs when using distant vision.
The Bank of Mum & Dad – intergenerational transfers and first-time homeownership in Australia
Authors: Cigdem-Bayram Melek , Whelan Stephen , Wood Gavin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Around 70 per cent of Australian households reside in owner occupied housing though ownership rates have begun to fall, especially for younger cohorts. Owner occupied housing generally represents the largest single asset in the household wealth portfolio and plays an important role in retirement planning and wealth accumulation. There is some anecdotal evidence that transfers from parents, often termed the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’, are an increasingly important mechanism to facilitate entry into homeownership. In this paper we consider transfers in the form of bequests and inter vivos gifts from parents and examine the relationship between transfers, wealth inequality and entry into first-time homeownership. The empirical analysis indicates that bequests and inter vivos transfers hasten entry into homeownership, potentially alleviating some important liquidity constraints faced by households.

AbstractThe main motivation of this paper is the study of first-order model theoretic properties of structures having their roots in modal logic. We will focus on the connections between ultrafilter extensions and ultrapowers. We show that certain structures (called bounded graphs) are elementary substructures of their ultrafilter extensions, moreover their modal logics coincide.
How accurately can ChatGPT 3.5 answer frequently asked questions by patients on glenohumeral osteoarthritis?
Authors: Youssef Yasmin , Youssef Salim , Melcher Peter , Henkelmann Ralf , Osterhoff Georg , Theopold Jan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background
Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) systems like ChatGPT have emerged as valuable assets in providing accessible information across various domains, including the healthcare system. The use of ChatGPT may contribute to better patient education and better general healthcare knowledge. However, there is a paucity of data on the reliability of responses generated by ChatGPT in the context of specific medical diagnoses.

Methods
We identified 12 frequently asked questions by patients about glenohumeral osteoarthritis. These questions were formulated in both English and German, using common and medical terms for the condition, thus creating four groups for evaluation. The questions were then presented to ChatGPT 3.5. The generated responses were evaluated for accuracy by four independent orthopedic and trauma surgery consultants using a Likert scale (0 = fully inaccurate to 4 = fully accurate).

Results
Although there were two questions in two groups, all questions across all versions were answered with good accuracy by ChatGPT 3.5. The highest score on the Likert scale was 3.9 for the group where questions were posed in English using the medical term “glenohumeral osteoarthritis.” The lowest score of 3.2 was for the group where questions were posed in English using the common term “shoulder arthrosis.” On average, questions in English received a score of 3.5 on the Likert scale, slightly higher than those in German, which received a score of 3.4.

Conclusion
ChatGPT 3.5 can already provide accurate responses to patients’ frequently asked questions on glenohumeral osteoarthritis. ChatGPT can therefore be a valuable tool for patient communication and education in the field of orthopedics. Further studies, however, have to be performed in order to fully understand the mechanisms and impact of ChatGPT in the field.
Feasible estimation of weathering stability for free film acrylic coatings via dynamic mechanical analysis as the sole characterization method
Authors: Steinberger Felix , Hense Dominik , Rössler Albert , Strube Oliver I. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWeathering stability is a highly relevant materials property, especially for exterior coatings. Assessment of artificially or naturally weathered coatings is however still mostly subjective without distinct correlation between the formulation of a coating and its weathering stability. An aggravating issue in the industrial context is the often very sparse information on the exact chemical composition of materials by the manufacturers. In this study, a quantitative method to examine weathering-induced changes in coatings with limited chemical information is described, which is based solely on dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). This approach is applied to free films to eliminate possible influences of the substrate during the measurement. The effects of artificial weathering on three exemplary acrylic waterborne wood coatings are then examined and compared to the results of state of the art artificial weathering. Precisely, the impact of additional light stabilizer on mechanical properties, molecular weight, and Tg is monitored. For the exemplary systems, it could be shown that the molecular weight of the polymers decreases during artificial weathering, where the most prominent decrease was observed in the first 300 h. In the same time frame, E′ and E″ also decrease, while the glass transition temperature increased dependent of the formulation by 6–15°C. Remarkably, for coatings without light stabilizer an apparent two-staged degradation mechanism is observed, which leads to an increase of E′ and E″ after 600 h of artificial weathering, accompanied with an increased brittleness of the free film. The primary goal of this approach is to offer a tool for quick and systematic investigation of new coating formulations in the industrial context.
Filtration Behaviour of Ostrea edulis: Diurnal Rhythmicity Influenced by Light Cycles, Body Size and Water Temperature
Authors: Fabra Monica , Morrall Zoe , Helmer Luke , Watson Gordon , Preston Joanne 
Published: November 2024

AbstractDespite the existing studies on oyster physiology, it is a concern that, by ignoring the diurnal rhythmicity of feeding activities, the current knowledge on oyster filtration might be unrepresentative of their real filtration capacity. In the present study, the diurnal and nocturnal fluctuations of Ostrea edulis clearance rate were investigated for the first time under laboratory conditions, also considering the combined effects of water temperature and oyster size. A positive correlation was found between the mean clearance rate (CRm) and body size for both length and wet weight, with an average of 0.5 L h−1 and 0.1 L h−1 of water filtered by large and small adult oysters respectively during the 24-h experiment. A positive significant correlation between mean clearance rate and water temperature was found only for large oysters, suggesting further studies utilising temperature ranges closer to O. edulis thermal optimum are required to clarify the influence of temperature on oyster filtration activities across different size classes. The results of this study also showed a discontinuous ingestion of food by O. edulis throughout 24-h intervals, with higher values of clearance rate observed during hours of darkness at most temperatures for both size classes. This suggests photoperiod may have a potential influence on O. edulis filtration. Providing a better understanding of O. edulis filtration behaviour, these findings have implications for ecological restoration, aquaculture, and comparative studies on oyster bioenergetics and physiology, with direct applications to the development of predictive models and the assessment of ecosystem services provided by O. edulis habitat.

Authors: Wang Jun-Li , Huang Run-Qi , Tang Chun-Yan , Wu Wen-Jie , Li Fei , Ren Tai , Wang Jun , Pan Wei-Hua 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background
Children undergoing surgical anastomosis for long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) often suffer from complications related to delayed oral feeding, which may impair their early development. Clinical swallow evaluation (CSE) is an effective technique to improve feeding outcomes. However, there are limited evidences on the application of CSE in these children.

Methods
Since 2020, serial CSEs have been consistently implemented for children undergoing anastomosis for LGEA in our hospital. We conducted a retrospective study comparing 19 children who received CSE with 31 historical controls who did not. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was applied to balance preoperative characteristics. We compared the time from surgery to full oral feeding and the rate of postoperative complications between the two groups. Growth curves for length-for-age Z score (LAZ) and weight-for-age Z score (WAZ) up to age 3 were fitted using generalized additive mixed models.

Results
The median time to full oral feeding was 1.1 months [interquartile range (IQR), 0.8–2.4] in the CSE group and 1.5 months (IQR, 0.6–5.7) for controls. After IPTW, CSE was associated with a shorter time to full oral feeding, with a weighted hazard ratio of 2.26 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.21 to 4.24]. LAZ growth curves significantly differed between groups (P = 0.001).

Conclusion
CSE was associated with the expedited achievement of full oral feeding and a more favorable growth pattern before 3 years of age.

Investigation of the influence of rain on pitot-static measuring systems of unmanned aerial vehicles
Authors: Tilmans Jan , Jackisch Sven , Moormann Dieter 
Published: November 2024

AbstractFor unmanned aerial systems with a maximum take-off mass of up to 25 kg, simple pitot-static tubes are predominantly used to measure the aerodynamic speed. In this work, the influence of rain on this measurement is investigated using representative pitot tubes of different diameters. In wind tunnel tests, water droplets with a diameter of about 3 mm are generated at a flow velocity of 10 m/s, which hit the pitot tubes at the total pressure bore. The observed disturbances sometimes last several hours and are equivalent to a total failure of the measuring system during flight operations. Phenomena are identified that influence the measurement of dynamic pressure in rain. It can be shown that both capillarity and the momentum of the raindrops play a decisive role in the type, severity and duration of the disturbance due to their relative movement to the tube. The further course of the disturbance is also influenced by the evaporation of liquid, both on and in the tube. In flight tests under rain conditions, the findings of the wind tunnel tests were qualitatively confirmed and additional disturbance patterns were observed.
Strategic Learning Principles Are Related to Academic Scores for Doctor of Physical Therapy Students
Authors: Reynolds B. , Minahan C. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Introduction
The Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) is a self-assessment of strategic learning principles with scores representing areas for growth. The purpose of this study was to measure LASSI scores at 2 points in time for Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students in a 2-year hybrid program to see if scores changed after a science of learning course and two quarters of the program. The authors then examined the relationship between LASSI scores and academic scores (DPT program GPA, anatomy, and physiology grades).

Methods
Retrospective descriptive analysis of LASSI scores with comparisons between baseline and after a science of learning course and two quarters of the program using a paired t-test; bivariate correlations examined the relationship of LASSI scores to academic scores.

Results
Data was collected for 259 matriculated DPT students. Three of the 10 LASSI scales had significant change after the science of learning course and two quarters of the program; however, the effect sizes were small (0.2 or less). Anxiety management (t(258) = 2.340, p = .020) scores improved, while both concentrations (t(258) =  − 3.229, p = .001) and the use of academic resources (t(258) =  − 1.999, p = .047) had lower scores. There were several LASSI scores with significant correlations to academic scores (ρ = .132 to .431).

Discussion/Conclusion
LASSI was related to academic scores, although the strength of the relationship was low to negligible. LASSI showed small changes over time. There could be various reasons for scores improving or declining, but the awareness of scores and change in scores can provide a solid foundation for individualized coaching to DPT students as they navigate the rigor of a graduate level professional program.

Published: November 2024

AbstractFlexible wearable optoelectronic devices fabricated from organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites significantly accelerate the development of portable energy, biomedicine, and sensing fields, but their poor thermal stability hinders further applications. Conversely, all-inorganic perovskites possess excellent thermal stability, but black-phase all-inorganic perovskite film usually requires high-temperature annealing steps, which increases energy consumption and is not conducive to the fabrication of flexible wearable devices. In this work, an unprecedented low-temperature fabrication of stable black-phase CsPbI3 perovskite films is demonstrated by the in situ hydrolysis reaction of diphenylphosphinic chloride additive. The released diphenyl phosphate and chloride ions during the hydrolysis reaction significantly lower the phase transition temperature and effectively passivate the defects in the perovskite films, yielding high-performance photodetectors with a responsivity of 42.1 A W−1 and a detectivity of 1.3 × 1014 Jones. Furthermore, high-fidelity image and photoplethysmography sensors are demonstrated based on the fabricated flexible wearable photodetectors. This work provides a new perspective for the low-temperature fabrication of large-area all-inorganic perovskite flexible optoelectronic devices.
