Published: April 2018

Background: In the senior author’s (X.L.) orthopaedic sports medicine clinic in the United States (US), patients appear to have difficulty finding physical therapy (PT) practices that accept Medicaid insurance for postoperative rehabilitation. Purpose: To determine access to PT services for privately insured patients versus those with Medicaid who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in the largest metropolitan area in the state of Massachusetts, which underwent Medicaid expansion as part of the Affordable Care Act. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Locations offering PT services were identified through Google, Yelp, and Yellow Pages internet searches. Each practice was contacted and queried about health insurance type accepted (Medicaid [public] vs Blue Cross Blue Shield [private]) for postoperative ACL reconstruction rehabilitation. Additional data collection points included time to first appointment, reason for not accepting insurance, and ability to refer to a location accepting insurance type. Median income and percentage of households living in poverty were also noted through US Census data for the town in which the practice was located. Results: Of the 157 PT locations identified, contact was made with 139 to achieve a response rate of 88.5%. Overall, 96.4% of practices took private insurance, while 51.8% accepted Medicaid. Among those locations that did not accept Medicaid, only 29% were able to refer to a clinic that would accept it. “No contract” was the most common reason why Medicaid was not accepted (39.4%). Average time to first appointment was 5.8 days for privately insured patients versus 8.4 days for Medicaid patients ( P = .0001). There was no significant difference between clinic location (town median income or poverty level) and insurance type accepted. Conclusion: The study results reveal that 43% fewer PT clinics accept Medicaid as compared with private insurance for postoperative ACL reconstruction rehabilitation in a large metropolitan area. Furthermore, Medicaid patients must wait significantly longer for an initial appointment. Access to PT care is still limited despite the expansion of Medicaid insurance coverage to all patients in the state.

Background: Glenohumeral instability is a common abnormality, especially among athletes. Previous studies have evaluated outcomes after arthroscopic stabilization in patients with anterior or posterior shoulder instability but have not compared outcomes between groups. Purpose: To compare return-to-sport and other patient-reported outcomes in patients after primary arthroscopic anterior, posterior, and combined anterior and posterior shoulder stabilization. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients who underwent primary arthroscopic anterior, posterior, or combined anterior and posterior shoulder stabilization were contacted at a minimum 2-year follow-up. Patients completed a survey that consisted of return-to-sport outcomes as well as the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), American Shoulder and Elbow Sur’geons (ASES) score, and Shoulder Activity Scale. Results: A total of 151 patients were successfully contacted (anterior: n = 81; posterior: n = 22; combined: n = 48) at a mean follow-up of 3.6 years. No significant differences were found between the groups with regard to age at the time of surgery or time to follow-up. No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of WOSI (anterior: 76; posterior: 70; combined: 78; P = .28), SANE (anterior: 87; posterior: 85; combined: 87; P = .79), ASES (anterior: 88; posterior: 83; combined: 91; P = .083), or Shoulder Activity Scale (anterior: 12.0; posterior: 12.5; combined: 12.5; P = .74) scores. No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of the rate of return to sport (anterior: 73%; posterior: 68%; combined: 75%; P = .84). Conclusion: Athletes undergoing arthroscopic stabilization of anterior, posterior, or combined shoulder instability can be expected to share a similar prognosis. High patient-reported outcome scores and moderate to high rates of return to sport were achieved by all groups.
The tumor suppressive TGF-β/SMAD1/S1PR2 signaling axis is recurrently inactivated in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Published: April 2018

Key Points
The sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 is a bona fide tumor suppressor and transcriptionally regulated by the TGF-β/TGF-βR2/SMAD1 axis. The aberrant loss of SMAD1 expression is very common in DLBCL and provides a proliferative advantage to B cells in vitro and in vivo.

Published: April 2018

Purpose IBM Watson for Oncology (WFO) is a clinical decision-support computing system that provides oncologists with evidence-based treatment recommendations for a variety of cancer diagnoses. The evidence-based supported treatment recommendations are presented in three categories: Recommended, representing the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) preferred approach; For Consideration, evidence-based alternative treatments; and Not Recommended, alternative therapies that may be unacceptable. We examined the absolute concordance of treatment options with that of the recommendations of a multidisciplinary team of oncologists from Gachon University, Gil Medical Centre, Incheon, South Korea. Methods We enrolled 656 patients with stage II, III, and IV colon cancer between 2009 and 2016. Cases were processed using WFO and, using retrospective clinical data, outputs were compared with the actual treatment the patient received. Absolute concordance was defined as an alignment of recommendation in the Recommended MSKCC preferred-approach category. Treatment recommendations that were represented in the For Consideration category were not the focus of this study. Results The absolute concordance between the WFO-derived MSKCC preferred approach and Gil Medical Centre treatment recommendations was 48.9%. The percentage of cases found to be acceptable was 65.8% (432 of 656) and the stage-specific concordance rate was 32.5% for patients with stage II disease who had risk factors and 58.8% for patients with stage III disease. Patients 70 years of age and older had a concordance rate of only 20.2%, whereas younger patients had a concordance rate of 63.8% ( P = .0001). Conclusion The main reasons attributed to the low concordance rate were age, reimbursement plan, omitting chemotherapy after liver resection, and not recommending biologic agents (ie, cetuximab and bevacizumab).

ABSTRACT
Excessive vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) load rates have been linked with running injuries. Increasing cadence (CAD) has been shown to reduce load rates; however, relationships between habitual cadence and load rates across a population of runners have not been examined.

Purpose
To examine the relationships between habitual running cadence and vertical load rates in healthy and injured runners using habitual footstrike patterns. As CAD increased, we expected vertical load rates would decrease.

Methods
Healthy runners (n = 32, 25 men) and injured runners (n = 93, 45 men) seeking treatment were analyzed. Footstrike classifications were heel at initial contact (rearfoot strike [RFS]) or forefoot at initial contact (forefoot strike [FFS]). Runners were divided into four injury status/footstrike pattern (FSP) subgroups: healthy RFS (n = 19), injured RFS (n = 70), healthy FFS (n = 13), and injured FFS (n = 23). The VGRF and CAD were recorded as participants ran on an instrumented treadmill at self-selected speed (x¯ = 2.6 m·s−1 ±0.12). Healthy runners used laboratory footwear similar to their habitual footwear, and injured runners used habitual footwear. The vertical average load rates and vertical instantaneous load rates of the VGRF of each runner’s right leg were calculated and correlated with CAD for four injury status-FSP subgroups and for all runners combined.

Results
There were no differences in CAD between all runners or any subgroup (P > 0.05). Vertical average load rates and vertical instantaneous load rates were significantly higher (P ≤ 0.01) in the injured RFS group compared with all other subgroups. Injured FFS and healthy FFS had similar load rates (P = 1.0).

Conclusions
We found no relationships between habitual running cadence and vertical load rates. The highest load rates were in injured RFS runners, and the lowest load rates were in FFS runners, regardless of injury status. Future studies of gait retraining to increase CAD and reduce load rates should follow runners long term to examine this relationship once CAD has become habituated.
The Role of User Privacy Concerns in Shaping Competition Among Platforms
Authors: Gal-Or Esther , Gal-Or Ronen , Penmetsa Nabita 
Published: April 2018

We study the effect of user privacy concerns on competition between online advertising platforms. Online platforms attract advertisers by offering capabilities to reach audiences likely to be receptive to their ads in a timely and accurate manner. However, the collection and processing of user information required for targeting of ads may lead to privacy concerns. We model the competition between two platforms as a two-stage game where platforms announce their targeting capabilities in the first stage and advertising fees in the second stage. The presence of heterogeneity in the user and the advertiser populations with respect to their preferences for targeting leads to differentiation between platforms. While one platform offers the minimum level of targeting feasible, the other platform offers a strictly higher level of targeting. The extent of differentiation in targeting levels depends on the intensity of competition between the platforms on the user side. When competition on the user side is relatively low, the extent of differentiation is higher. Such competition for users may decline, when users are less concerned about loss of privacy or when they choose to double home. Higher targeting differentiation allows platforms to charge higher advertising fees and earn higher profits. We also consider the case where platforms can reduce the privacy concerns of users by offering them greater control over their personal information. We demonstrate that awarding user control leads to reduced targeting differentiation between platforms and lower advertising fees. Last, we derive the equilibrium targeting levels for platforms that use a subscription-based business model instead of an advertising-based business model.

The (Neural) Dynamics of Stochastic Choice
Authors: Webb Ryan 
Published: April 2018

The standard framework for modeling stochastic choice, the random utility model, is agnostic about the temporal dynamics of the decision process. In contrast, a general class of bounded accumulation models from psychology and neuroscience explicitly relate decision times to stochastic choice behavior. This article demonstrates that a random utility model can be derived from the general class of bounded accumulation models, and characterizes how the resulting distribution of random utility depends on response time. This relationship can bias the estimation of structural preference parameters. The bias can be alleviated via the inclusion of standard observables directly in the econometric specification, or through incorporating novel observables such as response time or neurobiological data. Examples of estimating risk and brand preferences are pursued. This paper was accepted by Matthew Shum, marketing.

Authors: Dos Santos Valéria Cunha , Santana Ana Paula Oliveira 
Published: April 2018

Neste artigo, tivemos como objetivo desenvolver uma reflexão acerca de um projeto de letramento intitulado Show de leitura, realizado em 2015 em uma escola básica da Rede Municipal de Educação de Florianópolis (SC). O projeto foi idealizado por professores de língua portuguesa e pedagogos, e foi desenvolvido por alunos de 1º e de 8º ano do Ensino Fundamental. Apesar de o objetivo inicial desse projeto ter sido criar uma estratégia que auxiliasse o processo de alfabetização dos alunos mais novos, no desenrolar dos encontros foi possível observar notável melhora do desempenho escolar dos alunos mais velhos, principalmente na disciplina de língua portuguesa. Nesse contexto, buscamos apontar considerações acerca do ensino de leitura na educação básica, ressaltando algumas motivações e implicações que uma prática pedagógica que ressignifica o trabalho com textos pode ter.

O clima urbano é resultado das ações de diversas variáveis, entre elas o fator de visão do céu (FVC). Este artigo apresenta incialmente a metodologia utilizada para calcular o fator de visão do céu em dez postos de coleta de temperatura e umidade do ar na cidade de Pelotas-RS e, na sequência, um estudo comparativo do comportamento da temperatura e da umidade relativa do ar entre estes mesmos dez locais. Os dados resultam de três períodos de registro no ano de 2014: o primeiro em agosto/setembro, o segundo em novembro, o terceiro em dezembro. Cada ponto de coleta consistiu num pequeno coletor eletrônico de dados de temperatura e umidade relativa do ar (ONSET - U23-001), disposto dentro de um abrigo fixo a um tripé distante 1,5 metros do chão, que registrou dados de 30 em 30 minutos. Os resultados mostram relação entre o microclima e o FVC. Nos levantamentos considerados os registros nos locais de maior obstrução foram em mais de 70% das vezes superiores à média. As áreas menos obstruídas também foram aquelas que apresentaram temperaturas mais baixas que a média. Os locais mais frios que a média também apresentaram umidade relativa do ar mais alta que a média.Palavras-chave: Fator de visão do céu, temperatura e umidade do ar. The Sky View Factor and its Influence on the Intra-Urban Thermal-Hygrometric Features in Pelotas City - Rio Grande do Sul State, BrazilABSTRACTUrban climate is the result from several variables, among them, there is the sky view factor (SVF). This article identifies the sky view factor (SVF) use in an urban climate study made in Pelotas, Brazil. The research compares the temperature and relative humidity behaviors in ten various sampling stations, based on data collected from them. The results were obtained from three recording periods held in 2014: the first from August/September, the second from November and the third from December. Each station was equipped with a temperature and humidity datalogging device (ONSET - U23 001). They were placed inside a radiation shield that was attatched to a tripod 1.5m above the ground, where each device would register data every 30 minutes. The results unveiled relations between the SVF and the microclimate. From the samples that were taken in consideration, places with high obstruction were, 70% of the time, above the calculated average. The places with low obstruction were also where the biggest amount of below-average data was found. In addition, the places that were colder than average were the ones presenting higher than average relative humidity rates.Key-words: sky view factor, air temperature, relative humidity.

O jovem contemporâneo vem surpreendendo a sociedade nos mais diferentes setores. Esta pesquisa trata das culturas juvenis no âmbito escolar e suas relações com o ensino da Geografia. Objetivamos identificar os diferentes perfis do jovem contemporâneo e relacioná-los às aulas de Geografia. Para atingir tais objetivos, elaboramos um amplo questionário, dividido em dois principais blocos: a montagem de um perfil dos sujeitos-jovens entrevistados e as relações dos sujeitos-jovens entrevistados com a Geografia. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que o jovem-aluno contemporâneo é composto de múltiplas e transitórias identidades e, com isso, está adaptado a múltiplos pertencimentos. No tocante à Geografia escolar, entendemos que o jovem-aluno vincula muito fortemente aos temas físicos da ciência, ao citar exemplos como localização geográfica e fusos horários. Há o questionamento, então, sobre a condução das aulas de Geografia, a saber se as mesmas dão conta do conceito pleno do espaço geográfico, no sentido de trabalhar as temáticas físicas, mas também as humanas da ciência. Percebemos que há relação direta entre as práticas juvenis e possíveis temas a serem trabalhados na aula de Geografia. Há muito que se avançar neste tipo de pesquisa, uma vez que tratamos, além dos objetos já previstos, de nossa prática docente. ABSTRACTThe younger contemporary society has been surprising in many different sectors. This research deals with the youth cultures in the school environment and their relationship to the teaching of geography. We aimed to identify the different profiles of contemporary young and relate them to Geography lessons. To achieve these goals, we developed a comprehensive questionnaire, divided into two main blocks: the installation of a profile of the subject-young respondents and relationships of subject-young respondents with geography. The survey results indicate that the contemporary young student is composed of multiple and transient identities and thereby is adapted to multiple affiliations. With regard to school geography, we understand that the young student linked very strongly to the physical issues of science, citing examples such as geographic location and time zones. There is the question, then, on the conduct of Geography classes, namely whether they realize the full concept of geographical space in order to work the physical issues but also human science. We realize that there is direct relationship between youth practices and possible topics to be worked in geography class. There is much to advance this type of research, since treat, besides the objects already provided in our teaching practice.Keywords: Youth; Youngers; Education; Geography
