Abstract
Background.  Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza are significant causes of seasonal respiratory illness in children. The incidence of influenza and RSV hospitalization is well documented, but the incidence of medically attended, laboratory-confirmed illness has not been assessed in a well defined community cohort.
Methods.  Children aged 6–59 months with medically attended acute respiratory illness were prospectively enrolled during the 2006–2007 through 2009–2010 influenza seasons in a Wisconsin community cohort. Nasal swabs were tested for RSV and influenza by multiplex reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. The population incidence of medically attended RSV and influenza was estimated separately and standardized to weeks 40 through 18 of each season.
Results.  The cohort included 2800–3073 children each season. There were 2384 children enrolled with acute respiratory illness; 627 (26%) were positive for RSV and 314 (13%) for influenza. The mean age was 28 months (standard deviation [SD] = 15) for RSV-positive and 38 months (SD = 16) for influenza-positive children. Seasonal incidence (cases per 10 000) was 1718 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1602–1843) for RSV and 768 (95% CI, 696–848) for influenza. Respiratory syncytial virus incidence was highest among children 6–11 (2927) and 12–23 months old (2377). Influenza incidence was highest (850) in children 24–59 months old. The incidence of RSV was higher than influenza across all seasons and age groups.
Conclusions.  The incidence of medically attended RSV was highest in children 6–23 months old, and it was consistently higher than influenza. The burden of RSV remains high throughout the first 2 years of life.
Serious Vascular Complications after Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty: A Case Report
Authors: Chen Qiqing , Liu Yu , Fan Dongliang 
Published: April 2016

Summary
There has been an increased global demand for dermal filler injections in recent years. Although hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers generally have a good safety profile, serious vascular complications have been reported. Here we present a typical case of skin necrosis following a nonsurgical rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid filler. Despite various rescuing managements, unsightly superficial scars were left. It is critical for plastic surgeons and dermatologists to be familiar with the vascular anatomy and the staging of vascular complications. Any patients suspected to experience a vascular complication should receive early management under close monitoring. Meanwhile, the potentially devastating outcome caused by illegal practice calls for stricter regulations and law enforcement.
Vascularized Nerve Bypass Graft: A Case Report of an Additional Treatment for Poor Sensory Recovery

Published: April 2016

Summary:
End-to-side neurorrhaphy has proven effective in basic research and in clinical application. One of the methods of end-to-side neurorrhaphy, nerve bypass technique, has been reported and axon regeneration has been proven. In clinical application, the utility of the nerve bypass technique has been revealed in some cases; however, these bypasses were performed using nonvascularized nerves. We initially used the vascularized nerve bypass graft technique with the sural nerve as a secondary clinical procedure after median nerve injury in a 61-year-old patient and achieved motor and sensory nerve regeneration, as supported by a nerve conduction study and clinical sensory test. This technique has the potential to become one of the choices for salvage procedure of severe nerve injury.

Published: April 2016

ABSTRACTObjectives:A simple and reliable biomarker for Crohn disease (CD) would be a valuable clinical tool. We hypothesized that anti‐Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody (ASCA) may be present in the stool of patients with CD. Accordingly, we measured ASCA in the stool and serum of children and adolescents with known or suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods:We included 114 patients 19 years or younger (73 boys) with IBD, including 83 patients with CD and 31 subjects without CD (28 with ulcerative colitis, and 3 patients with suspected IBD but without evidence of chronic inflammation at the time of their endoscopy and colonoscopy). Fecal and serum samples were analyzed using semiquantitative ASCA enzyme‐linked immunoassays.Results:Median ASCA levels were significantly elevated in the stool (P = 0.04) and serum (P = 0.0008) of patients with CD, when compared to levels observed in patients without CD. Fecal ASCA levels were similarly more elevated in patients with active CD, relative to levels observed in patients with active ulcerative colitis and acute colitis (P = 0.004). Among patients with CD, fecal and serum ASCA levels were higher (P = 0.01 and 0.01, respectively) in patients with more recently diagnosed disease.Conclusions:Fecal ASCA levels are higher in patients with active and newly diagnosed disease. Data from the present study suggest that measurement of fecal ASCA levels could represent a novel noninvasive biomarker for use in evaluating patients with suspected or known IBD. Further studies are necessary to better define the value of fecal ASCA measurements in identifying CD and response to therapy in children and young adults.
Implementing Co-Regulated Feeding with Mothers of Preterm Infants

Abstract

Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to describe implementation of the Co-Regulated Feeding Intervention (CoReg), when provided by mothers and guided by intervention nurses trained in methods of guided participation (GP). Co-regulated feeding intervention aims to prevent stress during feeding and ease the challenge very preterm (VP) infants experience coordinating breathing and swallowing during the early months. Guided participation is a participatory learning method to guide the complex learning required for mothers.

Study Design and Methods:
Sixteen mothers of 17 VP infants participated. Each mother received a median of five intervention sessions during the infant's transition to oral feeding. Intervention field notes, audio recordings of the sessions, and video recordings of the nurse-guided feedings were reviewed, organized, and content analyzed to evaluate implementation.

Results:
The co-regulated feeding intervention was well received by mothers; enrollment, participation, and retention rates were high. Most mothers chose to spread out the intervention sessions across the transition period. Scheduling sessions was the greatest barrier. Mothers had competing demands and infant readiness to eat could not be predicted. The top five issues identified as needing attention by the mother or nurse included reading cues, coregulating breathing, providing motoric stability, regulating milk flow, and providing rest periods. Main GP strategies included joint attention with the mother to the dyad's feeding challenges, auditory assessment of breathing and swallowing, and reflection with planning for future feedings using video playback.

Clinical Implications:
Nurse presence while mothers feed affords rich opportunities to guide coregulated, cue-based feeding. Co-regulated feeding intervention would be enhanced if mothers are guided by the bedside nurse.
Brief Report: Seroprevalence of Pertussis Infection in HIV-Infected Adults in the United States
Authors: Troy Stephanie B. , Rossheim Alexandria E-B. , Hilliard DaShaunda D. , Cunningham Tina D. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract:
Pertussis is a resurgent infection that can cause significant morbidity among adults. CD4+ T cells are necessary for its clearance, but pertussis studies in HIV-infected adults are limited to case reports. We analyzed stored serum samples from 299 HIV-infected adults to determine the seroprevalence of pertussis among this population. We found that 4.3% of subjects had serologic evidence of recent pertussis infection, and annual incidence of pertussis infection among subjects not vaccinated against pertussis in the last 5 years was 10.5%–17.5%. Prospective studies are needed to define the clinical presentation of pertussis in HIV-infected adults and to optimize vaccination strategies.

Authors: Bucelli Robert C. , Lee Michael S. , McClelland Collin M. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract:
Classically defined as bilateral, symmetric, and progressive ophthalmoparesis with myopathic ptosis, chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) rarely has been reported in the absence of ptosis. We describe 2 patients with CPEO and without ptosis who presented with binocular diplopia related to small-angle esodeviations, poor fusional amplitudes, and slow saccades. In both cases, hematological studies and neuroimaging ruled out alternative etiologies, whereas muscle biopsy showed findings of mitochondrial myopathy.
Levels and determinants of vulnerability of two indigenous communities in the Philippines
Authors: Ancog Rico C. , Rebancos Carmelita M. , Sumalde Zenaida M. 
Published: April 2016

Purpose– This paper aims to determine and compare the vulnerability of selected indigenous communities in the Philippines using several integrated index development approaches. Better understanding on how negative impacts of climate change could be effectively reduced is the identification of appropriate vulnerability assessment approach that is applicable to the local and cultural contexts. Critical in the case of indigenous communities is the analyses of determinants of vulnerability by and with themselves.Design/methodology/approach– Using the survey data of combined 169 households, vulnerability scores of two adjacent Alangan Mangyan indigenous communities were quantified utilizing a set of 31 indicators that were systematically combined via the balanced-weighted (composite index) and unbalanced-weighted (principal component analysis) approaches.Findings– The computed vulnerability scores of the Alangan Mangyan communities using several approaches yielded varying results. In both study sites, the degree of vulnerability is differentiated even among households of indigenous communities of comparable socio-economic characteristics. The developed indices confirm that typhoons, level of education, literacy rate and monthly income were found to have direct effect on the Alangan Mangyan communities’ vulnerability.Originality/value– The study has successfully tested various methodological frameworks in implementing vulnerability assessment applicable in the context of indigenous communities in the Philippines. Results highlighted the need to simultaneously implement several vulnerability assessment approaches to allow comparison of results instead of solely basing climate change vulnerability-reduction programs to be implemented to a single assessment approach.
Information volunteers’ strategies in crisis communication
Authors: Saputro Kurniawan Adi 
Published: April 2016

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a case study on the communication strategies used by the information volunteers of Jalin Merapi during the Mt. Merapi disaster in Indonesia 2010.Design/methodology/approachIn all, 18 information volunteers are interviewed to find out about their strategies in organising crisis communication, and follow-up interviews are conducted with several donors and media professionals to understand the wider context. The questions cover how the information is sourced, published and verified and the reasons behind their decisions. The concept of mediated suffering helps to analyse how their strategies construct with whom, with what subject and how the media users engage with the survivors.FindingsThis study finds that information volunteers of Jalin Merapi focused on the overlooked survivors and issues of Mt. Merapi disaster based on their observation of the mainstream media’s coverage of the previous disaster in 2006. The needs of the refugees, rather than the availability of donor’s aid, were foregrounded to encourage the wider public to donate. And access to connect directly with the survivors was provided to enhance the efficacy of aid and to facilitate repeat donations.Research limitations/implicationsFurther empirical studies in other disaster contexts are called for to assess whether similar or different strategies are used in participatory crisis communication.Originality/valueThis study presents a rare case of participatory crisis communication in a disaster. The perspective of the media audience helps situate the findings in the context of the wider media environment and in the context of collective action as often seen in response to disaster.
The space between us: Twitter and crisis communication
Authors: Pond Philip 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
A key concept within the wider practice of crisis informatics is situational awareness, which refers to the way that social media can be used to provide local, situation-specific information. This information may be used for disaster response communication and resilience building. The purpose of this study is to argue that, in this context, situational awareness relies on an overly literal interpretation of information sent via the micro-blogging service Twitter.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper reviews relevant literature, including work that seeks to establish social media as a key tool in terms of crisis informatics. It discusses relevant theoretical debates and uses recent examples to interrogate these concepts.

Findings
The paper identifies several issues that complicate the interpretation and application of information from Twitter during crises. Not only can misinformation circulate during disaster events, the relationship between complex meaning-making processes, taking place both online and offline, is not yet well-understood. Locating digital data in physical time and space can better illuminate the dynamics of communication on Twitter.

Research limitations/implications
This is a theoretical discussion paper. It requires empirical work to question and to develop its theoretical findings.

Practical implications
The paper discusses implications for designing crisis informatics tools. It suggests that the cross-referencing of data may assist in the verification and interpretation of tweet content in regards to situational awareness.

Originality/value
This paper advances an important theoretical discussion with practical implications in an emergent field in crisis communication. It highlights the importance of focusing on temporal and spatial parameters for better evaluating situational awareness.
Optimizing production while reducing machinery lockout/tagout circumvention possibilities
Authors: Badiane Abdoulaye , Nadeau Sylvie , Kenné Jean-Pierre , Polotski Vladimir 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
– The optimization of production imposes a review of facility maintenance policies. Accidents during maintenance activities are frequent, sometimes fatal and often associated with deficient or absent machinery lockout/tagout. Lockout/tagout is often circumvented in order to avoid what may be viewed as unnecessary delays and increased production costs. To reduce the dangers inherent in such practice, the purpose of this paper is to propose a production strategy that provides for machinery lockout/tagout while maximizing manufacturing system availability and minimizing costs.

Design/methodology/approach
– The joint optimization problem of production planning, maintenance and safety planning is formulated and studied using a stochastic optimal control methodology. Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations are developed and studied numerically using the Kushner approach based on finite difference approximation and an iterative policy improvement technique.

Findings
– The analysis leads to a solution that suggests increasing the “comfortable” inventory level in order to provide the time required for lockout/tagout activities. It is also demonstrated that the optimization of lockout/tagout procedures is particularly important when the equipment is relatively new and the inventory level is minimal.

Research limitations/implications
– This paper demonstrates that it is possible to integrate production, maintenance and lockout/tagout procedures into production planning while keeping manufacturing system cost objectives attainable as well as ensuring worker safety.

Originality/value
– This integrated production and maintenance policy is unique and complements existing procedures by explicitly accounting for safety measures.
Airline maintenance strategies – in-house vs. outsourced – an optimization approach
Authors: Bazargan Massoud 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to offer a new mathematical modeling approach to help airlines identify which types of heavy aircraft maintenance checks be performed in-house or outsourced.

Design/methodology/approach
– This study offers a mathematical model to minimize the total cost of heavy maintenance programs over a planning period subject to performing all maintenance programs on time and other side constraints.

Findings
– The results are very encouraging and somewhat counter-intuitive. The solutions recommend that more expensive and labor intensive checks be outsourced. A detailed analyses of the total maintenance cost breakdown is presented with implications and recommendation.

Originality/value
– To the best of the knowledge, the literature on quantitative models for airline in-house and outsourced maintenance checks is very limited. The author believes the model and airline cases presented in this paper can help airlines with their strategic maintenance strategies and will initiate further studies in this important area.
Investigations for melt flow index of Nylon6-Fe composite based hybrid FDM filament
Authors: Garg Harish , Singh Rupinder 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to carry out experimental investigations highlighting the role of melt flow index (MFI) in fused deposition modelling (FDM) process by varying the proportion of the Fe powder which is being used as a filler material. An attempt has been made to standardize MFI of Nylon6-Fe composite material to be used as hybrid FDM filament.

Design/methodology/approach
In this research work, it is proposed to make a suitable blend of composite material for FDM filament which can be used directly for rapid tooling applications. Three controllable parameters (namely, composition/proportion of the filler for hybrid filament, extrusion temperature and extrusion load) were studied by using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array (O.A.) MFI which is an indication of flowability has been selected as output parameter.

Findings
MFI of hybrid composite filament material has been studied, and Taguchi’s L9 O.A. was applied under both the conditions of lower the better type and larger the better type. It is observed that the contribution of the extrusion load, extrusion temperature and proportion of the filler material is almost similar, whether lower the better type situation is considered or larger the better type is considered. Further, an attempt has been made to standardize the MFI of Nylon6-Fe composite material for industrial applications, as no standard is available for composites (presently, ASTM-D-1238-95 standard is being used for plastic based materials only).

Originality/value
In recent past, researchers have studied and analysed the flow of the material through the nozzle of the FDM machine, but very little work has been reported on study of the flow characteristics of filament material before the composite material is fed into the machine. This research can open new avenues in the field of MFI and deals with comparison of MFI of the existing FDM feedstock material with the new composite material. The developed feedstock material is ferromagnetic in nature and can find wide variety of industrial applications.
An approach for mechanical property optimization of fused deposition modeling with polylactic acid via design of experiments
Authors: Torres Jonathan , Cole Matthew , Owji Allen , DeMastry Zachary , Gordon Ali P. 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to present the influences of several production variables on the mechanical properties of specimens manufactured using fused deposition modeling (FDM) with polylactic acid (PLA) as a media and relate the practical and experimental implications of these as related to stiffness, strength, ductility and generalized loading.

Design/methodology/approach
A two-factor-level Taguchi test matrix was defined to allow streamlined mechanical testing of several different fabrication settings using a reduced array of experiments. Specimens were manufactured and tested according to ASTM E8/D638 and E399/D5045 standards for tensile and fracture testing. After initial analysis of mechanical properties derived from mechanical tests, analysis of variance was used to infer optimized production variables for general use and for application/load-specific instances.

Findings
Production variables are determined to yield optimized mechanical properties under tensile and fracture-type loading as related to orientation of loading and fabrication.

Practical implications
The relation of production variables and their interactions and the manner in which they influence mechanical properties provide insight to the feasibility of using FDM for rapid manufacturing of components for experimental, commercial or consumer-level use.

Originality/value
This paper is the first report of research on the characterization of the mechanical properties of PLA coupons manufactured using FDM by the Taguchi method. The investigation is relevant both in commercial and consumer-level aspects, given both the currently increasing utilization of 3D printers for component production and the viability of PLA as a renewable, biocompatible material for use in structural applications.
