Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND:
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) but remains underutilized. A liaison-mediated referral (LMR), where a health care professional explains CR’s benefits, addresses barriers to participation, and places a referral before discharge, may promote CR use. Our objective was to assess the impact of an LMR on CR participation after PCI.

METHODS:
This was a retrospective study of patients who underwent PCI across 48 hospitals in Michigan between January 2021 and April 2022 and referred to CR before discharge. Clinical registry data were linked to administrative claims to identify the primary outcome, CR participation, defined as ≥1 CR session within 90 days of discharge. Bayesian hierarchical logistic regression was used to compare CR participation between patients with and without an LMR. For the secondary outcome, frailty proportional hazard modeling compared days elapsed between discharge and first CR session between liaison cohorts.

RESULTS:

Among 9023 patients referred to CR after PCI, 4323 (47.9%) underwent an LMR (mean age, 69.3 [SD=11] years; 68.3% male) and 3390 (36.7%) attended ≥1 CR session within 90 days of discharge. The LMR cohort had a higher unadjusted CR participation rate (43.1% [95% CI, 41.5%–44.6%] versus 32.4% [95% CI, 31.1%–33.8%];
P
<0.001), a higher adjusted odds ratio of attending ≥1 CR session (adjusted odds ratio, 1.21; 95% credible interval, 1.07–1.38), and a shorter delay in attending the first CR session compared with the non-LMR cohort (28 [interquartile range, 19–42] versus 33 [interquartile range, 21–47] days;
P
<0.001).

CONCLUSIONS:
An LMR was associated with higher odds of CR participation and may mitigate delays in CR enrollment. This referral strategy may improve CR participation and patient outcomes after PCI.
Design and Making Things Better: Relating the Pragmatism of John Dewey and Richard McKeon in Design Inquiry
Authors: Dixon Brian , Kaszynska Patrycja 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article proposes a model of social design inquiry directed toward shaping shared societal goals. Drawing on Dewey and McKeon, the approach is based on means-end evaluation and communication in plurality. This presents a response to the double challenge of dealing with conflicting aspirations for the future and the current need to balance differences in perspectives. The social design inquiry model provides the basis for meliorism in design insofar as it offers a way of working through these challenges by making use of imagination and deliberation.
Chinese Latinos and an Imagined Latin America: Transpacific Family, Identity, Culture, and Memory in Hong Kong, Macau, and Southern China
Authors: Schiavone Camacho Julia María 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Based on oral histories and archival research in Hong Kong, Macau, and Guangzhou, this article focuses on identity and cultural formation among the descendants of overseas Chinese men and Latin American women. Some of the children and grandchildren of Chinese men and their wives in the diaspora have adopted Latin American identities even when they have never been to the region. While Chinese Latinos have created hybrid linguistic, cultural, and religious expressions, notions of Latin America have been central. Considering the myriad ways people have taken up Latin Americanness and integrated it into their mixed identities in Macau, Hong Kong, and southern China, this work explores what these experiences can tell us about the Chinese diaspora, return overseas migration, and the idea of “Latin America,” showing how Chinese Latino transnational families add to and complicate our understanding of the Latin American Chinese diaspora as well as southern China as a borderlands and contact zone.
Agency and Creativity in Exclusionist North America: Chinese Overseas Student Writings of Chen Hengzhe and Xie Fuya (1919–1926)
Authors: Lau Jennifer Junwa 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Already on American soil, many Chinese student travelers sought to use their time to explore and turn their experiences into published works and travelogues. As a result, these routes and the writings that accompany them demonstrate a spectrum of Chinese experiences in North America during the Exclusion Era. The Chinese narrators in the writings of elite overseas Chinese students Chen Hengzhe (陈衡哲; 1890–1976) and Xie Fuya (谢扶雅; 1892–1991) carve a minor subjectivity through prose and poetry respectively that contributes to critical global history. Their voices are a creative vocalization of overcoming legal restraints placed on ethnic Chinese in textual representation that goes beyond narratives of oppression and resistance. The archives present an interesting and important perspective on Chinese raced bodies in twentieth-century North America.
“Isaiah” Revisited: the Civil Religion of Lim Boon Keng, 1893–1905 1893–1905
Authors: Dennerline Jerry 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article offers a new perspective on the Straits Chinese public intellectual Lim Boon Keng (1869–1957) in historical context. Rather than analyze Lim’s relative Chineseness, it explores the development of his argument that a new civil religion was necessary for citizenship in the post-Enlightenment world before the rise of reform and revolution in China. It introduces the positions and the rhetoric of key protagonists in local debates in Singapore over governance, education, and religion, and analyzes the influence of global developments such as the expansion of Methodist mission schools, the American Student Volunteer Movement, James Legge’s translations of Confucian classics, and the first World’s Parliament of Religions in 1893. I argue that Lim, who wrote as “Isaiah” in 1896 to oppose proselytizing in publicly supported schools while courting his Chinese Christian bride, may be understood as engaging the world as a modern world citizen.
Absolute Intercalibration of Spaceborne Microwave Radiometers
Authors: Wentz Katherine , Meissner Thomas , Wentz Frank , Manaster Andrew 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Absolute calibration of spaceborne microwave radiometer observations consists of accurate determination of antenna cold space spillover, cross-polarization contamination, and nonlinearity coefficients of the receivers. We deem the GMI sensor to be the most accurate calibrated spaceborne microwave radiometer due to its unique calibration design features and its carefully planned orbit maneuvers. We demonstrate how to transfer the GMI calibration to other spaceborne radiometers, whose operations have sufficient time overlap with GMI. Specifically, we show results for WindSat and AMSR2. The sensor intercalibration is based on brightness temperature matchups between GMI and the other instruments over both open ocean and rainforest scenes. To assess the calibration accuracy, we compare the intercalibrated brightness temperatures with radiative transfer model calculations. In addition, we provide in situ validation results for wind speed and water vapor retrievals from the intercalibrated sensors. The intercalibration methodology allows for the creation of a multidecadal climate data record from passive microwave satellite observations.

Significance Statement
Creating a long-term climate data record of satellite observations of ocean winds, water vapor, and other variables requires careful and accurate calibration of the various sensors that are used. In particular, it is important to achieve the best possible consistency between the measurements from all the different instruments. This is a challenging task as the configuration and accuracy of these instruments can differ widely. The purpose of our paper is to demonstrate and validate the basic methodology for performing this intercalibration. The backbone of our method is data observed by a well-calibrated sensor that measures the passive microwave emission from Earth’s surface and atmosphere. We show how to transfer its calibration standard to other sensors.
Do Income and Capital Influence Household Solar Panel Investment? A Meta-regression
Authors: Best Rohan , Marrone Mauricio , Linnenluecke Martina 
Published: October 2024

There is considerable variation in research explaining household solar-panel investment, leading to mixed evidence regarding influences of income and capital. We provide analysis aiding interpretation of economic influences on solar-panel uptake in other studies. We conduct a meta-regression using 234 papers to provide analytical insights focusing on economic influences on solar-panel investment. We find that the research approach and context explain a range of income influences. More specifically, studies using household-level data are less likely to find negative income impacts compared to studies using aggregate data. Developing-country studies have been less likely to include income; but when income is included, developing-country studies have been more likely to find a significant link from income to solar-panel uptake. Capital (e.g., asset) impacts are nearly always positive and significant when included, but only 22 percent of analyzed studies included a relevant variable. Our concluding policy discussion suggests greater focus on assets for means testing. JEL Classification: D10, Q40, Q48, Q50
early specification or the development of the whole personality: experience from a Hungarian counsellor
Authors: Herskovits Maria 
Published: October 2024

Counselling for gifted in Hungary has grown out of our vocational guidance practices and it is based on its rich theoretical and methodological approaches. Principally our work fits into the framework of Renzulli’s model. Ever since ECHA-Hungary (1988) and the Hungarian Association for Gifted Children (1989) were founded there has been a strong pressure on a few experts to start a voluntary service for parents. In the last two years, 34 families have turned to us for help. In most of the cases the childen’s ages range between 5-9 years so in this presentation only their problems will be discussed. 1. Parents are ready to promote the development of their children’s obvious high ability, but are not aware of the possibilities. 2. What sort of school, or class should a child attend who has the mastery of the 3 R’s at the age of 6? 3. Parents think their children should specialize at a very early age so that their talent is not wasted, on the other hand they feel the child should be left “in peace” to let his wide range of interests develop. 4. Parents are not able to cope with a great variety of problems; the child is stubborn, self-willed, impulsive, finds hardly any friends, the teachers make complaints etc. Testing of the children happens only if it is absolutely necessary. Counselling means mainly giving advice to parents. They are uncertain how to handle “excellence” and “difference” due to the 45 years of forced attitude to egalitarianism and the "Prussian" tradition in our education.

Introduction Hypoalbuminemia is predictive of mortality in critically ill patients, especially those with cardiac etiologies of illness. The objective of this study was to determine the association of albumin level pre-cannulation for veno-arterial (V-A) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and important clinical hospital outcomes. Methods This was a retrospective, observational cohort study of albumin levels in patients with cardiogenic shock requiring V-A ECMO between December 2015 and August 2021 in a single, high-volume ECMO center. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Results Of 434 patients assessed, 318 were included. The overall mean pre-ECMO albumin was 3 ± 0.8 g/dL and mean albumin at 72 hours post-cannulation was 2.7 ± 0.5 g/dL. For patients with pre-ECMO albumin ≤3 g/dL vs. >3 g/dL, in-hospital mortality was 44.9% vs. 27.5%, respectively ( p = .002). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, higher albumin (per 1 g/dL increase) at time of V-A ECMO initiation was associated with decreased odds of in-hospital mortality (OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.48-0.96; p = .03). Patients with a pre-ECMO albumin ≤3 g/dL required significantly more platelet transfusions and had higher incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding during V-A ECMO support (both p < .05). Conclusions Hypoalbuminemia at time of cannulation is significantly associated with in-hospital mortality and ECMO-related complications including platelet transfusion and gastrointestinal bleeding. Albumin levels at the time of consideration of V-A ECMO may serve as a key prognostic indicator and may assist in effective decision-making regarding this invasive and costly resource.

Published: October 2024

Introduction Pump thrombosis remains a feared complication following placement of durable left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) and can be particularly detrimental to individuals being bridged to heart transplantation. Complications associated with this malfunction not only increase morbidity related to right heart failure, hemolysis, and other organ failure, but may ultimately jeopardize a patient’s heart transplant candidacy. Additionally, reoperation for durable ventricular device replacement not only poses additional surgical risks to patients but can potentially complicate or even prohibit transplantation in the future. Case report This case report describes a novel configuration of temporary, groin-free, percutaneously-deployed biventricular mechanical circulatory devices to support a patient with biventricular failure due to partial LVAD thrombosis. Discussion/conclusion The use of less invasive mechanical support measures, such as the approach described here, may help patients achieve adequate hemodynamic support while allowing them to remain ambulatory and facilitate successful bridging to heart transplantation.

Published: October 2024

Purpose To describe the technique of off-centering a balloon-expandable covered stent for selective occlusion of a distal entry tear (ET) in a patient, conservatively treated for chronic type B aortic dissection (cTBAD), presenting FL expansion. Technique A 63-year-old male, with conservatively managed cTBAD, presented at follow-up with FL partial thrombosis and expansion (thoracic aorta FL from 21 mm to 27 mm and abdominal aorta FL from 11 mm to 15 mm in 6 months). No proximal ET was identifiable. Distal FL perfusion was caused by an ET in the abdominal aorta feeding a 2 mm accessory renal artery (ARA). As the aortic diameter was below the threshold for endovascular repair, a selective occlusion of the distal ET and ARA was planned. A balloon-expandable covered stent was modified by off-centering the covered stent proximally and resulting in a funnel-shape occluder after deployment across the ET into the ARA. To prevent type Ic endoleak due to possible FL expansion caused by an intra-operatively detected phrenic artery (PA), coils were deployed into the lumen of the modified stent and the ARA. The pre-discharge computed tomography angiography showed exclusion of both the ARA and ET and a type 2 endoleak from the PA. Conclusion A balloon-expandable covered stent can be modified by off-centering the covered stent resulting in a funnel shape to adapt to different diameter requirements.
Efficacy and safety of camrelizumab-based comprehensive treatment for non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Maimaitiyiming Nuerbiyamu , Li Yue , Cao Yunfeng , Li Yanwei 
Published: October 2024

Background: Many studies show that camrelizumab combination therapy can significantly improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the time of camrelizumab to market is short, and there is no systematic evaluation of camrelizumab-based comprehensive treatment of NSCLC. Objectives: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in comprehensively treating NSCLC. Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources and methods: Databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane, were searched by computer before August 2023 based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, and reports on the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab-based treatment for NSCLC were collected, and RevMan 5.4 software was employed for meta-analysis finally. Results: Totally, 5 RCTs, 2 cohort studies, and 12 single-arm studies were included. The meta-analysis results revealed that, compared with the treatment without camrelizumab, the camrelizumab-based combination treatment considerably extended the OS (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.60, 95% confidence interval (CI): (0.44–0.82), p < 0.01), PFS (HR = 0.42, 95% CI: (0.28–0.63), p < 0.01), and event-free survival (EFS) (HR = 0.55, 95% CI: (0.44–0.68), p < 0.01). The median objective response rate in single-arm studies was 41% (95% CI: 28%–53%), and the disease control rate was 84% (95% CI: 78%–89%). Furthermore, in terms of the occurrence of grades 3–5 adverse events, the incidence of neutropenia was lower in the camrelizumab combination group than in the control group, while the incidence of leukopenia and rash was higher than in the combination group, and no significant difference was revealed in the incidence of other adverse events. Among single-arm studies, the incidence of grades 3–5 adverse events did not exceed 10%. Conclusion: Treatment combined with camrelizumab can effectively prolong OS, PFS, and EFS in NSCLC patients with good safety, camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy is an effective treatment option for NSCLC patients.

Objectives: This pharmacovigilance analysis was conducted to assess the safety signals of FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitors in a real-world setting using the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). Design: We analyzed adverse event (AE) reports related to FLT3 inhibitors submitted to the FAERS database from the first quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2022. Disproportionality analysis was used to identify AEs of FLT3 inhibitors in the FAERS database. Results: A total of 55,393 AE reports were identified, of which 5938, 44,013, and 5442 were attributed to midostaurin, sorafenib, and gilteritinib, respectively, as primary suspects. Compared to the full database, significant safety signals at the system organ class level were observed for midostaurin (blood and lymphatic system disorders and hepatobiliary disorders), sorafenib (skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders and hepatobiliary disorders), and gilteritinib (investigations, blood and lymphatic system disorders, infections and infestations, and hepatobiliary disorders). All the drugs studied were associated with hepatobiliary disorders. The most prominent AEs associated with midostaurin, sorafenib, and gilteritinib were cytopenia, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, and increased blast cell count, respectively. Compared with chemotherapy, midostaurin and gilteritinib showed a higher risk of electrocardiogram QT prolongation, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage, and increased white blood cell count. Gilteritinib had the highest overall death percentage (30.28%), whereas sorafenib had the lowest (23.06%). Conclusion: Mining AE signals using the FAERS database provides a method for analyzing the safety of FLT3 inhibitors in post-marketing. We found several significant AE signals that corresponded to previous studies; however, some AE signals were not mentioned in the drug instructions. Our study could provide a direction for follow-up real-world studies to verify the results further.
