AbstractA novel design total knee arthroplasty (TKA) system has been introduced to improve patient outcomes and increase longevity. However, we have encountered a high rate of debonding of tibial implant–cement interface. In addition, multiple reports have been filed in Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience database (MAUDE) with the same mechanism of failure. Therefore, we evaluated: clinical, radiographic, and intraoperative findings of patients who received this system and required a revision surgery, and findings from MAUDE database compiled to this date. We reviewed three hospital databases for patients who had revision TKA for tibial loosening at the implant–cement interface. This yielded 15 cases with a mean age of 61 years (range, 47–84). All patients received a novel knee system at another institution. Radiographic analysis was performed by treating orthopaedist. The MAUDE database was reviewed for reports of aseptic failure. Patients presented with pain on weight bearing, effusion, and decreased range of motion (ROM) within 2 years after surgery. Radiographic evaluation demonstrated loosening of the tibial components in 2 of 15 knees. This included cruciate retaining, posterior stabilized, fixed bearing, and rotating platform bearing designs. Intraoperative findings demonstrated gross loosening of the tibial component at the implant–cement interface. Femoral and patellar components were well fixed. There were 21 reports of tibial loosening at the implant–cement interface in MAUDE database in the past 2 months alone. Numerous other tibial failures were reported; however, the mechanisms of failures were not specified. Tibial component loosening is a rare complication of cemented TKA at short-term follow-up. Several possible reasons include increased constraint, reduced cement pockets, and reduced keel rotational stabilizers. The tibial component, which has greater torsional loads, has lower surface roughness than femoral component. We believe that this complication is underreported due to failure of radiographs to assess loosening. In addition, MAUDE database reporting is not consistent and competing companies cannot provide data on the revised components. In patients who have negative workup for a painful joint, one must consider the diagnosis of debonding.

Published: June 2017

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Der Anspruch von Patienten an Knietotalprothesen (KTEP) wächst zunehmend. Es stellt sich immer wieder die Frage, ob sportlich aktive Patienten nach Implantation einer KTEP ein erhöhtes Revisionsrisiko aufweisen im Vergleich zu Patienten ohne sportliche Aktivitäten.
Patienten/Material und Methoden In einer retrospektiven Studie wurden 130 Patienten mit einem Altersdurchschnitt von 69,2 Jahren zu Ihrer sportlichen Aktivität 22 Monate vor und nach KTEP Primärimplantation befragt. Die Patienten wurden aufgrund der Ergebnisse der Befragung in 2 Gruppen (A = Sport, B = No-Sport) eingeteilt. 7 Jahre postoperativ wurden dieselben Patienten erneut zu Ihrem Sportverhalten und 12 Jahre postoperativ zusätzlich zu stattgehabten Revisionsoperationen befragt.
Ergebnisse Von den 130 im Jahre 2005, ca. 2 Jahre nach KTEP-Implantation, befragten Patienten gaben 88 (67,7 %) an, regelmäßig Sport auszuüben (Gruppe A) während 42 Patienten (32,3 %) keinerlei Sport betrieben (Gruppe B). 2010 antworteten 87 der 130 Patienten auf die Befragung. 60 Patienten der Gruppe A waren weiterhin regelmäßig sportlich aktiv. 27 Patienten der Gruppe B gaben an, weiterhin keinerlei Sport zu betreiben. 2015 konnten von den 87 Patienten die 2010 befragt wurden immerhin noch 67 Patienten kontaktiert werden – davon 46 Patienten der Gruppe A und 21 Patienten der Gruppe B. In Gruppe A kam es 12 Jahre postoperativ bei 7 von 46 Patienten (15,2 %) zu Revisionsoperationen. In Gruppe B gaben 5 von 21 (23,8 %) Patienten Revisionsoperationen im Sinne von Wechseloperationen in den letzten Jahren an.
Schlussfolgerung Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass 12 Jahre nach Primärimplantation einer KTEP die Revisionsrate in der Gruppe der sportlich aktiven Patienten verglichen mit den Inaktiven deutlich reduziert war. Daher lässt sich schlussfolgern, dass moderate sportliche Aktivität nach künstlichem Kniegelenkersatz keinen negativen Einfluss auf die Standzeit einer Knietotalendoprothese hat, sondern sogar möglicherweise zu verbesserter Osteointegration und damit zu weniger osteolytischen Reaktionen mit daraus resultierender aseptischer Prothesenlockerung führen könnte.

Abstract
Background and study aims In colorectal cancer surgery, inadvertent deep injections during endoscopic tattooing can cause India ink leakage into the peritoneum, leading to complications or to poor visualization of the surgical plane. This ex vivo animal study compared the use of novel shorter, minimum caliber needles versus conventional injection needles for endoscopic tattooing.
Animals and methods Four endoscopists used the novel needles and conventional needles to make ten endoscopic tattoos (five tattoos/needle type/endoscopist) in harvested porcine rectum using a saline test-injection method. India ink leakage and the success of the tattoo (i. e. visible, < 40 mm, plus no India ink leakage) were compared.
Results India ink leakage was observed for 30 % (6/20) of the conventional needle tattoos but for none of the novel needle tattoos (P = 0.02). Tattoos created using the novel needles were more successful than those made with the conventional needles: 18/20 (90 %) vs. 11/20 (55 %); P = 0.01.
Conclusions The use of novel shorter minimum caliber needles may be safe and effective for endoscopic tattooing for preoperative localization prior to colorectal cancer surgery.

Abstract

Aims
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been suggested to accelerate cognitive decline and to be a risk factor for dementia, but still little is known about the cognitive course after a first cardiovascular event. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the cognitive trajectories in both prevalent and incident CVD over a 12-year time period in the general population.

Methods and results
Cognitively healthy participants (age 24–82 years, n = 1823) of a prospective cohort study were serially assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 years. Verbal memory, executive function, and information processing speed were analysed in adults with prevalent, incident, and no CVD. Random effects models were used to test the association between CVD and change in cognitive function over time. At baseline, participants with prevalent CVD showed more decline in memory and information processing speed than healthy controls. Participants with incident CVD also showed more decline in these cognitive domains, but this was only significant in the follow-up period from 6 to 12 years. Associations were more pronounced in participants aged younger than 65 years at baseline, and in sub-analyses with angina pectoris or myocardial infarction as the most prevalent CVD conditions.

Conclusion
Prevalent and incident CVD predict cognitive decline in middle-aged individuals. Findings for incident CVD suggest that the onset of decline is linked in time with the vascular event itself. Timely CVD management may delay the onset of decline.
Multispecies acoustic dead-zone correction and bias ratio estimates between acoustic and bottom-trawl data

Published: June 2017

Abstract
In this study, we extended the original work of Kotwicki et al. (2013. Combining bottom trawl and acoustic data to model acoustic dead zone correction and bottom trawl efficiency parameters for semipelagic species. Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 70: 208–219) to jointly estimate the acoustic dead-zone correction, the bias ratio, and the gear efficiency for multiple species by using simultaneously collected acoustic and bottom-trawl data. The model was applied to cod (Gadus morhua) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in the Barents Sea and demonstrated a better or similar performance compared with a single species approach. The vertical distribution of cod and haddock was highly variable and was influenced by light level, water temperature, salinity, and depth. Temperature and sunlight were the most influential factors in this study. Increase in temperature resulted in decreasing catch and fish density in the acoustic dead zone (ADZ), while increasing sun altitude (surrogate for light level) increased the catch and fish density in the ADZ. The catch and density of haddock in the ADZ also increased at the lowest sun altitude level (shortly after midnight). Generally, the density of cod and haddock changed more rapidly in the ADZ than in the catch (from bottom to the effective fishing height) indicating the importance of modelling fish density in the ADZ. Finally, the uncorrelated variability in the annual residual variance of cod and haddock further strengthen the conclusion that species vertical distribution changes frequently and that there are probably many other unobserved environmental variables that affect them independently.

Published: June 2017

BACKGROUND
There are requirements for long-term, objective comparisons of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers.

OBJECTIVE
To compare efficacy and tolerability of ART FILLER Universal (AFU) and ART FILLER Fine lines (AFFL) with the existing HA fillers for the treatment of nasolabial folds and crow's feet.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Prospective, randomized, rater- and patient-blind, split-face comparison of AFU with JUVEDERM Ultra 3 (JUV) and AFFL with FIRST LINES PureSense (FLPS). The severity of nasolabial folds and crow's feet was assessed by independent blinded evaluators using the Lemperle scale at baseline, day (D) 30/D45, D90, and D180. Tolerability, Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), wrinkle volumes, and skin thickness and density were also measured at D30/D45, D90, and D180.

RESULTS
At D30 and D180 respectively, 61 and 67 patients were assessed. Scores for nasolabial folds and crow's feet showed statistically significant improvements at D30, D90, and D180. AFU and AFFL were noninferior to JUV and FLPS, respectively. Most patients showed GAIS improvements, maintained until at least D180 and significant increases of collagen synthesis in crow's feet and nasolabial folds. Treatments were well tolerated.

CONCLUSION
AFU and AFFL are noninferior to comparators. The methodology used represents a novel approach to augment existing clinical assessment of HA fillers.
Five years of land surface phenology in a large-scale flooding and draining manipulation in a coastal Arctic ecosystem
Authors: Goswami Santonu , Gamon John A. , Vargas Sergio , Tweedie Craig E. 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThis study was motivated by the knowledge gap for observing the complex interplay between surface hydrology and plant phenology in arctic landscapes and was conducted as part of a large scale, multi investigator flooding and draining experiment near Barrow, Alaska (71°17’01” N, 156°35’48” W) during 2005 - 2009. Hyperspectral reflectance data were collected in the visible to near IR region of the spectrum using a robotic tram system that operated along a 300m transects during the snow free growing period between June and August, 2005-09. Interannual patterns of land-surface phenology (NDVI) unexpectedly lacked marked differences under experimental conditions. Measurement of NDVI was, however, compromised for presence of surface water. Land-surface phenology and surface water was negatively correlated, which held when scaled to a 2km by 2km MODIS subset of the study area. This result suggested that published findings of ‘greening of the Arctic’ may relate to a ‘drying of the Arctic’ i.e. reduced surface water in vegetated high-latitude landscapes where surface water is close to ground level.
Development and dissemination of a core competency framework
Authors: Trollor Julian N. , Eagleson Claire , Weise Janelle , McKay Roderick 
Published: June 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to describe and critique the methodology used to develop a core competency framework for mental health professionals working with people with an intellectual disability and co-occurring mental ill health.

Design/methodology/approach
A multi-phase, multi-method design was used to collect qualitative and quantitative data, including a scoping survey, modified online Delphi, and consultation with multiple stakeholders. The implementation phase involved a launch forum and workshop, toolkit development, and evaluation strategy.

Findings
Results from the scoping survey and consultation process informed the development of a core competency framework with 11 domains. An accompanying toolkit was also developed with practical guidance to assist with the implementation of the core competencies. In total, 93 professionals attended the launch forum, and the framework has been downloaded 998 times during the first year it has been available.

Research limitations/implications
Detailed information specific to each profession cannot be included when a whole of workforce approach is used. The ways in which to use the framework in conjunction with other core competency frameworks is discussed.

Practical implications
This framework can be utilised by mental health workers including clinicians, managers, service developers, and educators, from multiple professional backgrounds. The approach taken can also be used by others to develop similar frameworks.

Originality/value
This is the first core competency framework, to the authors’ knowledge, specifically designed for public mental health professionals from varied backgrounds working with people with an intellectual disability. Consulting with multiple stakeholders, not just experts, elicited new information that may otherwise have been overlooked.
Service quality and acculturation: advancing immigrant healthcare utilization
Authors: Davis Kathryn Simons , Mohan Mayoor , Rayburn Steven W. 
Published: June 2017

Purpose
This paper aims to develop an understanding of key variables for designing and marketing healthcare services for immigrant consumers – widely considered a vulnerable consumer group.

Design/methodology/approach
Data collected from 277 participants was analyzed using ANOVA models and mean score comparisons.

Findings
Differences based on immigrant status and acculturation level are identified. Differences between immigrant acculturation levels based on service quality dimensions are also revealed.

Research implications
This research indicates that acculturation-based studies are insightful and finds that immigrants’ service responses do not mirror those of native respondents in healthcare services.

Practical and social implications
This research highlights key nuances within immigrant populations that hold significant implications for service providers. Culturally appropriate service design and marketing can enhance service utilization by the target population.

Originality/value
This study focuses on the healthcare service experiences of immigrant populations and application of this information to service design.
Do service scripts exacerbate job demand-induced customer perceived discrimination?
Authors: Walsh Gianfranco , Hammes Eva Katharina 
Published: June 2017

PurposeThis research aims to investigate the contingent influence of service scripts on the links between service employees’ job demands and customers’ perceptions of discrimination.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on prior conceptual and empirical work, as well as conservation of resources theory, the authors propose a conceptual model comprising job demands (job stress and role ambiguity) and two dimensions of perceived discrimination.FindingsA unique, dyadic data set reveals that the two focal job demands positively affect customers’ perceptions of discrimination. Service scripts enhance those negative relationships, such that they have resource-depleting and job demand-exacerbating effects.Originality/valueThis study offers the first research to link customer perceived discrimination with employee antecedents. These insights, in turn, have several key theoretical and managerial implications, and they offer directions for further work in this arena.

Backgroundc‐MET has recently been identified as a promising novel target in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We detected the consistency of c‐MET gene amplification in metastatic lymph nodes and tumor tissues of NSCLC patients and discuss the clinical application value of c‐MET gene amplification in metastatic lymph nodes.MethodsReal‐time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to test tumor tissues in 368 NSCLC patients and 178 paired metastatic lymph node samples. The amplification consistency in metastatic lymph nodes and tissue samples were compared and the correlation between c‐MET gene amplification and the clinical characteristics of patients was analyzed.ResultsThe c‐MET gene amplification rate was 8.97% (33/368) in tumor tissues. Of the 178 paired cases, c‐MET gene amplification was positive in 7.95% (15/178) of cancerous tissues and 18.54% (33/178) of metastatic lymph nodes. c‐MET gene amplification was detected more frequently in metastatic lymph nodes than in primary cancerous tissue. When metastatic lymph nodes were used as surrogate samples of primary cancerous tissues, the sensitivity was 86.67% (13/15) and the specificity was 87.69% (143/163).ConclusionsScreening for c‐MET gene amplification in lymph node metastases could determine which patients are eligible for tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. Lymph node metastasis can predict c‐MET gene amplification in a primary tumor and guide the clinical use of c‐MET gene targeted drugs.

Published: June 2017

AbstractIntroductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate whether vitamin D insufficiency is associated with preterm delivery and preeclampsia in women with type 1 diabetes.Material and methodsAn observational study of 198 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes. 25‐Hydroxy‐Vitamin D and HbA1c were measured in blood samples in early (median 8 weeks, range 5–14) and late (34 weeks, range 32–36) pregnancy. Kidney involvement (microalbuminuria or nephropathy) at inclusion, smoking status at inclusion, preterm delivery (<37 weeks) and preeclampsia (blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg and proteinuria) were registered. Vitamin D supplementation of 10 μg daily was routinely recommended.ResultsThirty‐nine (20%) of the 198 women delivered preterm and 16 (8%) developed preeclampsia. Vitamin D insufficiency (<50 nmol/L) was present in 68 women (34%) in early pregnancy and in 73 women (37%) in late pregnancy. Preterm delivery occurred more frequently in women with vitamin D insufficiency in late pregnancy (27% vs. 15%, crude odds ratio 2.1; 95% confidence interval 1.0–4.3, p = 0.04). After adjustment for preexisting kidney involvement, HbA1c in late pregnancy and smoking the association became nonsignificant (adjusted odds ratio 1.8; 95% confidence interval 0.8–3.7). Preeclampsia developed in 11% of women with vitamin D insufficiency vs. 6% of the remaining women (crude odds ratio 1.8; 95% confidence interval 0.9–4.1, p = 0.25).ConclusionIn women with type 1 diabetes, preterm delivery was twice as frequent in women with vitamin D insufficiency in late pregnancy in crude analysis, but in this small study, low vitamin D was not independently associated with preterm birth or preeclampsia.

AbstractPancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are rare, accounting for less than 3% of all pancreatic tumors. Although laparoscopic pancreas‐preserving surgery for managing sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors has been described in the literature, laparoscopic total pancreatectomy has rarely been reported. We present a 30‐year‐old man who was incidentally diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome with parathyroid hyperplasia and a non‐functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. He underwent laparoscopic total pancreatectomy with splenectomy. This report highlights the technical details of laparoscopic total pancreatectomy, which appears to be a feasible and safe option in select cases.
SME Reporting in Australia: Where to Now for Decision‐usefulness?
Authors: Handley Karen , Wright Sue , Evans Elaine 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThis paper develops recommendations for simplified decision‐useful SME financial reporting in Australia – a country that has traditionally allowed a wide range of reporting standards to be used by these entities. Drawing on interviews and comment letters from a number of stakeholders, and data from a survey of users of financial statements of non‐publicly accountable unlisted entities, we analyse stakeholder arguments for and against SMEs providing less detailed reports, and identify the line items that might be most useful to users for decision making.
