Experiences of intensive treatment for people with eating disorders: a systematic review and thematic synthesis
Authors: Webb Hannah , Griffiths Maria , Schmidt Ulrike 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background
Eating disorders are complex difficulties that impact the individual, their supporters and society. Increasing numbers are being admitted to intensive treatment settings (e.g., for inpatient treatment, day-patient treatment or acute medical treatment). The lived experience perspectives of what helps and hinders eating disorder recovery during intensive treatment is an emerging area of interest. This review aims to explore patients’ perspectives of what helps and hinders recovery in these contexts.

Methods
A systematic review was conducted to identify studies using qualitative methods to explore patients’ experiences of intensive treatment for an eating disorder. Article quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skill Programme (CASP) checklist and thematic synthesis was used to analyse the primary research and develop overarching analytical themes.

Results
Thirty articles met inclusion criteria and were included in this review. The methodological quality was mostly good. Thematic synthesis generated six main themes; collaborative care supports recovery; a safe and terrifying environment; negotiating identity; supporting mind and body; the need for specialist support; and the value of close others. The included articles focused predominantly on specialist inpatient care and were from eight different countries. One clear limitation was that ethnicity data were not reported in 22 out of the 30 studies. When ethnicity data were reported, participants predominantly identified as white.

Conclusions
This review identifies that a person-centred, biopsychosocial approach is necessary throughout all stages of eating disorder treatment, with support from a sufficiently resourced and adequately trained multidisciplinary team. Improving physical health remains fundamental to eating disorder recovery, though psychological support is also essential to understand what causes and maintains the eating disorder and to facilitate a shift away from an eating disorder dominated identity. Carers and peers who instil hope and offer empathy and validation are valuable additional sources of support. Future research should explore what works best for whom and why, evaluating patient and carer focused psychological interventions and dietetic support during intensive treatment. Future research should also explore the long-term effects of, at times, coercive and distressing treatment practices and determine how to mitigate against potential iatrogenic harm.
A game model based optimisation approach for generalised shared energy storage and integrated energy system trading

Published: August 2024

AbstractIn the context of integrated energy systems, the synergy between generalised energy storage systems and integrated energy systems has significant benefits in dealing with multi-energy coupling and improving the flexibility of energy market transactions, and the characteristics of the multi-principal game in the integrated energy market are becoming more and more obvious, but it is difficult to improve the flexibility of the transactions between “source-load-storage” in a one-way master–slave game structure, and the problem of how to establish an optimisation strategy for the coordination of integrated energy systems and energy storage systems is an urgent issue. How to establish a coordinated optimisation strategy of integrated energy system and energy storage system is an urgent problem. Therefore, this paper proposes a generalised shared energy storage and integrated energy system transaction optimisation method based on a two-stage game model, which improves the flexibility of the system transaction by constructing a two-stage game energy transaction model in which the subject acts as a leader and a gamer. Compared with the current one-way game model that does not consider the game on the energy storage side, the coordinated optimisation method proposed in this paper enables the energy storage side to participate more actively in the scheduling, which improves its revenue by 20.6%, the revenue on the energy-using side by 6.3%, and the overall revenue of the system by 5.4%, and at the same time, the load demand response regulation effect is more obvious, so the energy scheduling strategy proposed in this paper is able to weigh the interests of each subject and increase the overall economic benefits of the system.
The Value of Competitor Information: Evidence from a Field Experiment
Authors: Kim Hyunjin 
Published: August 2024

To what extent do firms know available information on key competitor decisions, and how does competitor information change their own strategic choices? These questions are fundamental to understanding how firms compete and make strategic decisions, yet systematic evidence on them remains limited. I designed a field experiment across 3,218 differentiated firms in the personal care industry, where firms randomly assigned to treatment received easily accessible information on competitor prices. At baseline, nearly half of treatment firms appeared to lack knowledge of competitor prices. Once treatment firms received competitor information, they were more likely to change their own decisions, aligning them with competitors rather than differentiating. These changes were driven by firms that were more misaligned in their price and quality decisions, and appear to have been performance enhancing. If competitor information was both easily accessible and decision relevant, why did firms not use this information on their own? Results from a follow-up experiment suggest that this lack of knowledge may have been driven by managerial inattention. These findings highlight that limited information processing is a key problem for firms and a central issue in strategy, and raise the possibility that growing availability of competitor data may lead firms to align their decisions more with their competitors.

The Deterrence Effects of Tax Whistleblower Laws: Evidence from New York’s False Claims Acts
Authors: Lee Yoojin , Ng Shaphan , Shevlin Terry , Venkat Aruhn 
Published: August 2024

In this study, we provide evidence on the effects of state tax whistleblower laws. We exploit a novel 2010 amendment to New York’s False Claims Acts (FCA) that explicitly extended whistleblower incentives to corporate income tax whistleblowers. We identify treated firms (firms exposed to New York’s FCA) using establishment-level data and descriptive analyses. Using a sample of firms exposed to New York and neighboring states, we find evidence that New York’s FCA reduced state tax avoidance. In cross-sectional tests, we find that effects are increasing in firms that grant fewer employee stock options and industry regulation, consistent with deterrence increasing in employee and regulator monitoring. We also find evidence that New York’s FCA deterred federal tax avoidance, consistent with positive vertical tax externalities. Next, we focus on particular tax strategies and find evidence of a reduced probability of Double Irish tax structures, reduced relationships to tax planning banks, reduced use of special purpose vehicles, and reduced outbound tax-motivated income shifting. We also find evidence that firms with the lowest (highest) cost of relocation (1) reduced (did not change) establishment counts in New York but (2) did not change (reduced) state tax avoidance. Finally, we disentangle general ex ante deterrence from ex ante peer deterrence using hand-collected New York tax whistleblower press releases from the Attorney General. We find evidence of both types of deterrence. Overall, this study provides policy-relevant evidence on the deterrence effects of tax whistleblower laws.

A scoping review exploring people’s perceptions of healthcare uniforms
Authors: Cooper Mark , Kindness Karen , McCulloch Margot , McParland Chris 
Published: August 2024

Background: Healthcare staff uniforms are a subject of debate in the UK, and this is particularly true in the case of less understood roles such as advanced nurse practitioners. Aim: This review explores what is known about people’s perceptions of health professionals’ uniforms. Method: A mixed methods scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. Five databases (CINAHL, ASSIA, PsycINFO, and EMBASE) and several search engines were searched. Eligible reports were peer-reviewed English-language studies using any methodology to explore people’s perceptions of different uniforms for health professionals. Findings: Forty-six studies (mainly from North America) were included, presenting a variety of perspectives on the uniforms worn by doctors, nurses and other health professionals. Conclusion: Culture and context likely influence how uniforms are understood. Practitioners should consider how this may affect communication with both patients and colleagues. What health professionals wear matters, particularly in relation to less well understood roles.

Published: August 2024

Objective: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicle. Its treatment often requires a surgical approach. The aim of our study was to evaluate the occurrence of post-surgical complications following a new standard of surgical management. This included presurgical lesion mapping by ultra-high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) with a 70MHz probe. Postoperative management was based on the principles of HS-TIME (time, inflammation/infection, moisture, edges). Method: A single-centre, retrospective study was conducted by the Department of Dermatology of the University of Pisa. Patients with moderate and severe HS, refractory to previous medical and surgical therapies, were enrolled. All of the patients were treated with wide surgical excision of lesions, previously explored through a UHFUS evaluation with VEVO MD (Fujifilm VisualSonics, Inc., Canada) using a 48MHz and a 70MHz ultrasound probe. Following surgery, all patients were treated with secondary intention healing following the principles of HS-TIME. For each patient, we assessed the occurrence of post-surgical complications at follow-up visit six months after surgery. For each patient we assessed the occurrence of early post-surgical complications at every follow-up visit after surgery until complete wound healing. The occurrence of delayed complications was then assessed in all patients with an observation time after complete healing of >3 months (n=23). Results: A total of 26 patients were enrolled in the study. There were no reported cases of post-surgical bleeding or haematoma occurrence, while three (11.5%) patients developed minor surgical site infection. The average severity of pain decreased from a numerical rating scale of 5.3 immediately after surgery to 1.3 after four weeks. The average healing time was 33.3±16.8 days, and only five (19.2%) patients reported a complete wound healing time of >6 weeks. Focusing on delayed complications: 1/23 (4.3%) patient had hypertrophic scarring; 2/23 (8.7%) patients reported dysaesthesia; and 2/23 (8.7%) cases of clinical relapse were reported. No cases of limited mobility at the surgery site were registered. Conclusion: The findings of the study demonstrated the efficacy of a novel surgical protocol, including a preoperative ultrasound evaluation and appropriate postoperative wound management. Further prospective studies are needed to validate the observed results; however, we conclude that the low recurrence rates and post-surgical complications confirmed that our proposed protocol would represent an effective strategy for the management of patients with HS eligible for surgical therapy.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of the scoping review will be to understand and describe risk factors associated with surgical site infection (SSI) in an orthopaedic surgery population in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa. This paper describes the protocol that will be used for the scoping review. Method: A comprehensive literature search will be conducted using MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), Embase and Cochrane Libraries to identify articles meeting the inclusion criteria, including both published and grey literature, in order to provide a broad overview of the reported risk factors associated with patients who have undergone an orthopaedic surgery with an outcome of SSI within 90 days of a procedure. Additional studies will be sourced by exploring the reference list of included eligible studies. By using a combination of the Population, Exposure, Outcome framework, terms and synonyms related to each category, in different variations, along with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) in the search strategy, identified comprehensive and relevant literature for the scoping review. Results: It is anticipated the results will provide a baseline of risk factors that will inform the development of a risk assessment tool for clinical use. Conclusion: This protocol will inform the development of a scoping review to describe factors associated with SSIs following orthopaedic surgery in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa.
A single-centre RetrospeCtive sTudy Investigating patient-reported outcomeS of extended dressing wear time for incisional healing following orthopaedic surgery: the ARCTIS study

Published: August 2024

Objective: Orthopaedic surgery is an effective intervention for treating the symptoms of degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis (OA). Frequent wound dressing changes, unless clinically indicated, can disrupt the healing process and increase the occurrence of incision site contamination. Protection from contamination is critical for surgical incisions and, therefore, undisturbed wound healing (UWH) in surgical wound management is vital. This article describes a retrospective study reporting the clinical performance of a self-adherent, absorbent postoperative dressing, with a focus on dressing wear time. Method: A single-centre, retrospective electronic medical record review of a convenience sample of adult patients treated with a dressing (Mepilex Border Post Op; Mölnlycke, Sweden) following elective hip or knee replacement was undertaken. Data relating to dressing wear time, rationale for dressing changes and patient-reported outcomes were extracted from a mobile health application moveUP Therapy (moveUP NV, Belgium). Health-related quality of life assessment was conducted using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire and orthopaedic-specific quality of life (QoL) indicator tools. Results: Of the 558 records reviewed, 151 respondents (27.1%) reported outcomes relating to dressing wear time and frequency of dressing change. The average wear time of the first dressing was 13.6 days (second dressing: 5.3 days). The proportion of patients who wore the first dressing for 1–7 days, 8–13 days and for ≥14 days was 17.2%, 13.2% and 69.5%, respectively. Data from the completed questionnaires revealed improvement in QoL over time. Conclusion: The results of this study are a good indicator of the suitability of the postoperative dressing for a 14-day wear time, in line with the principles of UWH.
Muscle short-range stiffness behaves like a maxwell element, not a spring: Implications for joint stability
Authors: Barrett Jeff M. , Malakoutian Masoud , Fels Sidney , Brown Stephen H. M. , Oxland Thomas R. 
Published: August 2024

Introduction
Muscles play a critical role in supporting joints during activities of daily living, owing, in part, to the phenomenon of short-range stiffness. Briefly, when an active muscle is lengthened, bound cross-bridges are stretched, yielding forces greater than what is predicted from the force length relationship. For this reason, short-range stiffness has been proposed as an attractive mechanism for providing joint stability. However, there has yet to be a forward dynamic simulation employing a cross-bridge model, that demonstrates this stabilizing role. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to test whether Huxley-type muscle elements, which exhibit short-range stiffness, can stabilize a joint while at constant activation.

Methods
We analyzed the stability of an inverted pendulum (moment of inertia: 2.7 kg m2) supported by Huxley-type muscle models that reproduce the short-range stiffness phenomenon. We calculated the muscle forces that would provide sufficient short-range stiffness to stabilize the system based in minimizing the potential energy. Simulations consisted of a 50 ms long, 5 Nm square-wave perturbation, with numerical simulations carried out in ArtiSynth.

Results
Despite the initial analysis predicting shared activity of antagonist and agonist muscles to maintain stable equilibrium, the inverted pendulum model was not stable, and did not maintain an upright posture even with fully activated muscles.

Discussion & conclusion
Our simulations suggested that short-range stiffness cannot be solely responsible for joint stability, even for modest perturbations. We argue that short-range stiffness cannot achieve stability because its dynamics do not behave like a typical spring. Instead, an alternative conceptual model for short-range stiffness is that of a Maxwell element (spring and damper in series), which can be obtained as a first-order approximation to the Huxley model. We postulate that the damping that results from short-range stiffness slows down the mechanical response and allows the central nervous system time to react and stabilize the joint. We speculate that other mechanisms, like reflexes or residual force enhancement/depression, may also play a role in joint stability. Joint stability is due to a combination of factors, and further research is needed to fully understand this complex system.

Abstract

Introduction
Cortical lesions can cause major sensory and motor impairments, representing a significant challenge in neuroscience and clinical medicine. Limbal mesenchymal stem cells (LMSCs), renowned for their remarkable ability to proliferate and distinct characteristics within the corneal epithelium, offer a promising opportunity for regenerative treatments. This study aimed to assess whether the transplantation of LMSCs could improve tactile ability in rats with lesions of the barrel cortex.

Methods
In this experimental study, we divided 21 rats into three groups: a control group, a lesion group with cortical cold lesion induction but no stem cell treatment, and a group receiving LMSC transplantation following cold lesion induction. We conducted 3-week sensory assessments using a texture discrimination test and an open-field test. We also performed Nissl staining to assess changes on the cellular level.

Results
Rats in the LMSC transplantation group demonstrated significant improvements in their ability to discrimination textures during the second and third weeks compared to those in the lesion group. The open-field test results showed an increased exploratory behavior of rats in the LMSC transplantation group by the third week compared to the lesion group. Additionally, Nissl staining revealed cellular alterations in the damaged cortex, with a significant distinction observed between rats in the LMSCs and lesion group.

Conclusion
The findings suggest that LMSC transplantation enhances sensory recovery in rats with cortical lesions, particularly their ability to discriminate textures. LMSC transplantation benefits brain tissue reparation after a cold lesion on the somatosensory cortex.
Limites Formais e Inscrições: Observador como o Ponto Axiomático em Sistemas Cognitivos
Authors: Diehl Rafael , Maraschin Cleci 
Published: August 2024

Neste artigo objetivamos aproximar os limites da formalização em sistemas lógicos, relacionados aos paradoxos da autorreferência, ao uso de inscrições na produção e validação do conhecimento. A hipótese defendida é a de que a incompletude de tais sistemas está relacionada à questão do observador, pois a consideração de vários níveis descritivos exige a localização de uma cognição corporificada. Tal problemática fica mais emevidencia nos domínios interdisciplinares do conhecimento, pois o diálogo entre modelos de totalização de cada disciplina precisa, paradoxalmente, assumir a impossibilidade de uma visualização total do conhecimento. Conclui-se que as inscrições, numa abordagem sistêmica, devem ser pensadas como interfaces entre experiência e abstração, o que exige considerar as técnicas de representação do conhecimento como local privilegiado de validação e compartilhamento de experiências.
