Authors: Loo Yew L. , Kamalathevan Pragash , Ooi Peng S. , Mosahebi Afshin 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) have been used extensively in implant-based breast reconstruction. It was reported that due to the different sources and processing methods, the outcomes of ADMs in implant-based breast reconstructions are expected to differ. We designed this study to statistically analyze and discuss the outcome of 3 commonly used ADMs, Alloderm, Strattice, and Surgimend in implant-based breast reconstruction.

Methods:
Comprehensive review of the literatures searched on electronic databases was done to identify studies published between 2006 and 2017 comparing the outcome of ADMs. Pooled random effect estimates for each complication and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. One-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni test were used to compare statistical significance between and within groups, respectively. Multiple linear regression was done to include confounding factors and R statistic program for forest plot.

Results:
Twenty-one studies met the inclusion with a total of 1,659, 999, and 912 breasts reconstructions in Alloderm, Strattice, and Surgimend, respectively. Seven complications extracted including major and minor infection, seroma, implant loss, hematoma, capsular contracture, and localized erythema. Pooled total complication rates were 23.82% (95% CI, 21.18–26.47%) in Strattice, 17.98% (95% CI, 15.49–20.47%) in Surgimend, 16.21% (95% CI, 14.44–17.99%) in Alloderm. Seroma rate was the highest in Strattice group (8.61%; 95% CI, 6.87–10.35%). There was no statistical significance between and within groups.

Conclusion:
Although Strattice exhibited a higher overall pooled complication rate compared with Alloderm and Surgimend, the incidence of individual complication varies between studies. A cost analysis of different ADMs may aid in choosing the type of ADMs to be used.

Published: March 2018

Purpose:
To evaluate the distribution and progression of glaucomatous visual field (VF) defects with binocular vision.

Patients and Methods:
Subjects were 167 patients (average age, 67±10.7 y) with glaucoma who received the Humphrey 24-2 VF test (SITA-Standard) for the 2 eyes. Using the Best Location Algorithm, patient’s binocular integrated VF (IVF) was calculated from their Humphrey 24-2 results. Of 167, 77 subjects (average age, 68±11.0 y) also underwent monocular/binocular Humphrey Esterman tests. Patient’s stage of glaucomatous VF loss was classified by the Esterman Disability Score for each test, and the distribution and progression of the defects with binocular vision was evaluated for each stage. The frequencies of the defects in the upper and lower halves of the VF were also investigated.

Results:
With the IVF, the glaucomatous VF defects were most frequently found around the Mariotte blind spots and the Bjerrum areas and extended to the periphery. With the binocular Humphrey Esterman VF, the defects were most frequently found around the bitemporal and Bjerrum areas. The IVF results showed 31%, 49%, and 20% of the patients with the earliest glaucoma having defects in the upper, lower, and both halves of the VF, respectively.

Conclusions:
Glaucomatous VF defects with binocular vision were frequently found at the Mariotte blind spots in the central VF and around the bitemporal areas in the periphery. They appeared to have distributions and progression different from those of the defects with monocular vision previously reported.
Trends and Determinants of Polypharmacy and Potential Drug-Drug Interactions at Discharge From Hospital Between 2009–2015
Authors: Abolhassani Nazanin , Castioni Julien , Santschi Valérie , Waeber Gérard , Marques-Vidal Pedro 
Published: March 2018

Background
Polypharmacy (PP) and excessive polypharmacy (EPP) are increasingly common and associated with risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). We aimed to measure the trends and determinants of PP and DDIs among patients discharged from the Department of Internal Medicine of the Lausanne University Hospital.

Methods
The retrospective study included 17,742 adult patients discharged between 2009 and 2015. Polypharmacy and EPP were defined as the concomitant prescription of five or more and ten or more drugs, respectively. Drug-drug interactions were defined as any combination of a drug metabolized by a cytochrome P450 or P-glycoprotein, and a drug considered as strong inductor or inhibitor of the corresponding enzyme was defined as a potential interaction.

Results
Three most commonly classes of drugs prescribed were “alimentary tract and metabolism (including insulins),” “nervous system,” and “blood and blood forming organs.” Polypharmacy decreased from 45% in 2009 to 41% in 2015, whereas EPP increased from 40% to 46%. In 2015, 13% of patients received 15 or more drugs. Age, coming from other health care settings, higher Charlson Index, number of comorbidities, and quartiles of length of stay were significantly and independently associated with PP and EPP. The risk of having at least one DDI decreased from 67.0% (95% confidence interval = 64.8–69.0) in 2009 to 59.3% (57.6–62.0) in 2015 (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed number of drugs (odds ratio and 95% confidence interval = 3.68 [3.3–4.1], 9.39 [8.3–10.6], and 20.5 [17.3–28.4] for [5–9], [10–14], and 15+ drugs, respectively), gastrointestinal disease (3.13 [2.73–3.58]), and cancer (1.37 [1.18–1.58]) to be positively associated, and lung (0.82 [0.74–0.90]) and endocrinological (0.62 [0.52–0.74]) diseases to be negatively associated with risk of DDI.

Conclusions
The pattern of drug prescription has changed and most prescribed groups increased during the study period. Excessive polypharmacy is increasing among hospital patients. The decrease in the overall risk of DDI could be due to an improved management of multidrug therapy.
Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Shows a False-Negative Finding for Bone Marrow Involvement on 18F-FDG PET/MRI in a Patient With Malignant Lymphoma After Blood Transfusion
Authors: Zeng Feibi , Nogami Munenobu , Shirai Taiichiro , Zen Yoh , Murakami Takamichi 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Iron overload is a major complication in blood transfusion procedures. This report presents a case of malignant lymphoma, in which the findings of bone marrow involvement were discordant between 18F-FDG PET imaging studies and MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging studies. In this case, the PET imaging studies were positive for malignant lymphoma, whereas the MRI studies were negative. Iron deposition in the reticuloendothelial system due to posttransfusion iron overload was considered to be the cause of the decrease in signal intensity on diffusion-weighted imaging, resulting in a false-negative finding on MRI.
Using Functional Independence Measure Subscales to Predict Falls—Rapid Assessment
Authors: Fusco-Gessick Benjamin , Cournan Michele 
Published: March 2018

Background
Falls remain a major issue in inpatient rehabilitation. Decreased scores on the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), given to every patient, have been shown to predict falls risk.

Purpose
The aim of the study was to extend previous research using FIM to predict falls by using only subscales assessed earliest during admissions to indicate high risk of falls.

Design
Retrospective cohort study.

Methods
Two consecutive samples of patients (n
1 = 1,553, n
2 = 12,301) admitted to a rehabilitation hospital over 9-month and 5-year periods, respectively, were used to evaluate the predictive utility of using only a small number of FIM subscales. Subscales were selected from those assessed earliest and were related to previously published research on falls risk factors. The metric was developed using a historical data set and was validated with a second, separate group of patients. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate predictive utility.

Findings
The combination of Toileting and Expression subscales yielded a comparable area under the curve to the full FIM, and both were greater than the existing method of falls risk assessment. Likelihood of falling was strongly linearly related to score on the Toileting/Expression metric.

Conclusions
The sum of two FIM subscales can be used to predict which patients may fall during their stay in a rehabilitation hospital.

Clinical Relevance
The FIM scores are assessed early during a patient’s stay, are required for all Medicare patients, and may be useful for simple, rapid, and accurate assignment of falls risk.
Game-speed influence and brand attitude: mediating role of thought favorability in in-game advertising
Authors: Vashisht Devika , Mohan Surinder 
Published: March 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of game-speed on brand attitude and mediating role of thought favorability in the speed-attitude relationship in the context of in-game advertising (IGA). Specifically, this investigation employs the Limited Capacity Model of Attention and the heuristic-systematic model to explain the conditions under which in-game brand placements form favorable or unfavorable thoughts about the game and the embedded brand, and subsequent brand attitude.

Design/methodology/approach
In total, 78 student-gamers participated in the study. One-tailed independent-samples t-tests and a path analysis were used for hypothesis testing.

Findings
Results revealed that fast-paced games resulted in higher thought favorability and more favorable brand attitude than the slow-paced games. Furthermore, the results also showed that thought favorability mediated the relationship of game-speed and brand attitude among Indian gamers.

Research limitations/implications
This paper adds to advertising literature from a non-traditional advertising perspective, primarily in the context of IGA, and explains the role played by game-speed as an antecedent to thought favorability that adds value to thought favorability and brand attitude relationship. Also, the study provides an important implication for the marketers that to generate more positive brand attitudes and high favorable thoughts, advertisers and game-developers must focus on high-speed games.

Originality/value
This study is the first in its stream toward understanding the mediating role of thought favorability in determining the persuasion effect on Indian gamers’ brand attitude in the context of online advertising from attention and elaboration perspectives.
Between the corporation and the closet
Authors: Hodson Jaigris , Jackson Samantha , Cukier Wendy , Holmes Mark 
Published: March 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to engage the ecological model as a conceptual tool to examine the ethics of conducting research on LGBTQ+ individuals in the workplace. In particular, it focuses on outness and the act of outing in research.

Design/methodology/approach
Established methodologies for studying LGBTQ+ persons in the workplace are examined using a critical outness lens. The ecological model is used to identify a critical path forward for researchers working with LGBTQ+ participants and to improve LGBTQ+ workplace experiences more broadly.

Findings
The tension between the ethics of coming out of the closet and the ethics of outing someone for the greater good is problematized. It suggests that organizational and diversity scholars approach research methods with an understanding of the role played by the body and sexuality in LGBTQ+ workplace research.

Practical implications
Researchers should recognize that workers may have varying degrees of outness within their organization and/or across their private and public lives.

Originality/value
Research on LGBTQ+ persons in the workplace is limited, and research examining the ethics of relevant methods is scarcer still. This paper begins a discussion on how researchers can trouble current hegemonic approaches to LGBTQ+-centered research in organizations.
Reassessing cultural capital: access to employment for women with disabilities in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Peter Dimity Jane , Alem Sarah , Knabe Barbara 
Published: March 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to give voice to the experiences of women with disabilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) who have accessed employment, to highlight the structural barriers to employment and to identify the skills they used to obtain work.

Design/methodology/approach
This is a phenomenological study conducted in KSA. Themes from the interviews of women with disabilities were explored using Yosso’s (2005) cultural capital conceptual framework.

Findings
The participants had work and career aspirations, persisted in their job search, navigated barriers, and had familial support and emotional support from their social networks, but lacked instrumental assistance in accessing work. KSA policies to support women and people with disabilities to obtain employment are not adequately enforced, and negative attitudes toward people with disabilities are widespread.

Research limitations/implications
The sample size is small, but these preliminary findings justify the necessity for additional research and policy development specifically focused on women with disabilities.

Practical implications
There is an urgent need for existing policy enforcement and a need for a national strategy promoting the employment of women and the needs of women with disabilities should be specifically included in this agenda.

Originality/value
There is no extant research or policy literature regarding employment and women with disabilities in the KSA. This study applies Yosso’s (2005) theory of cultural capital to women with disabilities, demonstrating its applicability outside of race/ethnicity studies and suggests that “community” is not an essential factor in building employment success.
Not all surges of gross capital inflows are alike
Authors: Mercado Rogelio V. 
Published: March 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to consider the transition of surge episodes to stop episodes and differentiates between two types of surges, namely, surges that end in stops and surges that end in normal episodes.

Design/methodology/approach
Previous studies show that surges end in output contractions, crises, and reversals of capital inflows. However, when one looks closely at the data, more than half of surges end in normal episodes at least four quarters following the last surge quarter.

Findings
The results show the varying significance of global and domestic factors correlated with the occurrence of surges leading to stops and the size of gross inflows during these two types of surges.

Originality/value
The findings highlight the importance of differentiating between these two types of surges as it leaves scope for policy design in safeguarding financial stability amidst surging capital inflows.
Gendered geographical inequalities in junior high school enrollment
Authors: Ansong David , Renwick Chesworth Brittney , Okumu Moses , Ansong Eric , Wabwire Cedrick Joseph 
Published: March 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the spatial patterns of gender inequality in junior high school enrollment and the educational resource investments associated with the spatial trends.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses data on 170 districts in Ghana and hot spot analysis based on the Getis-Ord Gi statistic, linear regression, and geographically weighted regression to assess spatial variability in gender parity in junior high school enrollment and its association with resource allocation.

Findings
The results reveal rural-urban and north-south variability in gender parity. Results show that educational resources contribute to gender parity. At the national level, educational expenditure, and the number of classrooms, teachers, and available writing places have the strongest positive associations with girls’ enrollment. These relationships are spatially moderated, such that predominantly rural and Northern districts experience the most substantial benefits of educational investments.

Practical implications
The findings show that strategic allocation of infrastructure, financial, and human resources through local governments holds promise for a more impactful and sustainable educational development of all children, regardless of gender. Besides seeking solutions that address the lack of resources at the national level, there is a need for locally tailored efforts to remove the barriers to equitable distribution of educational resources across gender and socioeconomic groups.

Originality/value
This paper’s use of advanced spatial analysis techniques allows for in-depth examination of gender parity and investments in educational resources, and highlights the spatial nuances in how such investments predict gender disparities in junior high school enrollment. The findings speak to the need for targeted and localized efforts to address gender and geographical disparities in educational opportunities.
Students’ motivations, perceived benefits and constraints towards study abroad and other international education opportunities
Authors: Curtis Tamilla , Ledgerwood John R. 
Published: March 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify students’ motivations and perceived benefits of engaging in study abroad programs, as well as challenges and missed opportunities.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was sent to random samples of students on two university campuses. Descriptive statistics and frequency analyses were conducted with the use of the SPSS data management software package.FindingsDespite the majority of students having previous international travel experience and understanding the benefits of study abroad programs, most of them will not pursue the possibility to enroll in the study abroad programs. Contrary, most of respondents did express an interest to participate in international co-op/internship opportunities while attending the university. The study identified motivations, perceived benefits and constraints for students to enroll in study abroad programs.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research using samples from different universities and colleges would present a more comprehensive picture of motivations, expectations and constraints.Practical implicationsEducators should promote study abroad program benefits and clearly identify the link between international experiences and future students’ employability. Study abroad programs can serve as important tool for increasing overall students’ retention and recruitment.Social implicationsIn higher education, study abroad programs can serve as important tool for increasing overall students’ retention and recruitment.Originality/valueThis research uncovers students’ study abroad intent, interests, motivations, perceived personal and professional benefits and desired structure for the program. The findings provide insights into how administrators can enhance the value of the summer study abroad program offered by higher educational institutions.
Teaching belief systems in marketing classes
Authors: Peterson Mark , Minton Elizabeth A. 
Published: March 2018

Purpose
Marketing students need better grounding in understanding major worldviews of the twenty-first century, given nearly guaranteed, international interactions with stakeholders. As such, the purpose of this paper is to develop a pedagogy focused upon secular and religious worldviews that can be used effectively in the classroom.

Design/methodology/approach
A cross-cultural study using data from the USA and China examines current worldview understanding among business school students. A training session in worldviews is then conducted, and a follow-up study is used to assess worldview learning and further interest in learning more about worldviews.

Findings
Student understanding of worldviews is increased through a 1.5-h teaching session. Students’ interest in learning more about worldviews significantly increased after the teaching session.

Practical implications
Worldview training is an effective way to prepare students for interacting with stakeholders in the increasingly global world in which these students will eventually work. Business schools need to incorporate worldview training in international marketing courses, at a minimum, or offer complete courses in worldviews and related applications to business operations.

Originality/value
Prior research has not tested worldview training on business students, especially when comparing student learning in a more religious-based culture (USA) and a more secular-based culture (China). Thus, this research shows that worldview training is effective regardless of the culture it is used in, which is important to informing students in a growing global marketplace.

Authors: Swain Michael , Kamper Steven J , Maher Christopher G , Broderick Carolyn , McKay Damien , Henschke Nicholas 
Published: March 2018

ObjectiveTo determine whether there is a relationship between physical growth and development, as determined by markers of biological maturation, and musculoskeletal conditions in adolescents.DesignSystematic review.Data sourcesElectronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) were searched up to 6 September 2017.Eligibility criteria for selecting studiesStudies that evaluated the association between biological maturation or growth and musculoskeletal conditions in adolescents (chronological age 10–19 years).ResultsFrom 20 361 titles identified by the searches, 511 full-text articles were retrieved and assessed for eligibility; 56 studies, all at high risk of bias, evaluating the relationship between maturation and/or growth and musculoskeletal conditions were included. A total of 208 estimates of association were identified across the included studies, which generally indicated no association or an unclear association between maturation, growth and musculoskeletal conditions.Summary/ConclusionsWhile the relationship between maturation, growth and musculoskeletal conditions remains plausible, the available evidence is not supportive. The current body of knowledge is at high risk of bias, which impedes our ability to establish whether biological maturity and growth are independent risk factors for musculoskeletal conditions.
