Published: July 2024

Abstract
In this study, a novel approach is demonstrated for converting calorimeter images from fast simulations to those akin to comprehensive full simulations, utilizing conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). The concept of Pix2pix is tailored for CALPAGAN, where images from fast simulations serve as the basis (condition) for generating outputs that closely resemble those from detailed simulations. The findings indicate a strong correlation between the generated images and those from full simulations, especially in terms of key observables like jet transverse momentum distribution, jet mass, jet subjettiness, and jet girth. Additionally, the paper explores the efficacy of this method and its intrinsic limitations. This research marks a significant step towards exploring more efficient simulation methodologies in high-energy particle physics.
Seeking help for perinatal depression and anxiety: a systematic review of systematic reviews from an interdependent perspective
Authors: Bina Rena , Uka Ana , Costa Raquel , Tuval-Mashiach Rivka 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
Seeking help for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders is crucial for women’s mental health and babies’ development, yet many women do not seek help for their condition and remain undiagnosed and untreated. This systematic review of systematic reviews aimed at summarizing and synthesizing findings from all systematic reviews on seeking help for PMAD in the context of interdependence theory, highlighting the interdependent relationship between women and healthcare providers and how it may impact women’s seeking-help process.

Methods
Four electronic databases were searched, and 18 studies published up to 2023 met inclusion criteria for review.

Results
The capability, opportunity and motivation model of behavior was used as a framework for organizing and presenting the results. Results demonstrate that seeking help for PMAD is a function of the interdependent relationship between perinatal women’s and healthcare providers’ psychological and physical capabilities, social and physical opportunities, and their reflective and automatic motivation.

Conclusions
Unmet needs in perinatal mental healthcare is an important public health problem. This systematic review of systematic reviews highlights key factors for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to consider to optimize healthcare systems and interventions in a way that enhances perinatal women’s treatment whenever necessary.
Job insecurity as a predictor of gray divorce: a gendered dyadic analysis
Authors: Donnelly Rachel 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Divorce among older adults—known as gray divorce—is increasingly common; however, we have a relative gap in knowledge about predictors of gray divorce. Job insecurity, a pervasive and disruptive work-related exposure, may be a salient predictor of divorce among older couples for whom job loss can be particularly detrimental. Using longitudinal dyadic data from the Health and Retirement Study (1998–2020), the present study examined whether labor force status and job insecurity were prospectively associated with the risk of divorce in mid to later life, with attention to differences based on gender (n = 10,446 couples). Discrete-time event history models linked husbands’ and wives’ labor force status and job insecurity with subsequent odds of divorce in mid to later life. Findings show that husbands’ part-time employment, unemployment, and disability status were risk factors for divorce. Wives’ work disability also increased the risk of divorce, whereas wives’ retirement and exclusion from the labor force were protective against divorce. Husbands’ exposure to objective job insecurity (shorter job tenure) and perceived job insecurity were associated with divorce in mid to later life, whereas the adverse consequence of wives’ exposure to shorter job tenure reduced to non-significance with the inclusion of covariates. The present study documents previously untested predictors of gray divorce, finding that work-related factors may be an area of vulnerability for marriages in later life. Understanding the linkages between job insecurity and divorce is important because job insecurity is pervasive and divorce can contribute to declines in health and well-being.

Authors: Forbes Riley , Duce Brett , Hukins Craig , Ellender Claire 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Study Objectives
The objective of this study was to investigate the association between demographic, clinical, and interface factors and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) usage.

Methods
A retrospective cohort analysis of 478 patients prescribed NIV from 2013 to 2021 was performed. Demographic factors, clinical indications for NIV, and interface factors were collected, and linear regression was conducted to evaluate the association between these variables and NIV usage (hour/night).

Results
The average usage of the cohort was 6.5 hour/night ± 4.6, with an average age of 57 years ± 16 and body mass index (BMI) of 40.5kg/m2 ± 14.7. The cohort was mostly male (n = 290, 60.6%). The most common indications for NIV prescription were high-pressure requirement for obstructive sleep apnea (HPR, n = 190, 39.7%), neuromuscular disease (NMD, n = 140, 29.3%), and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS, n = 111, 23.2%). A diagnosis of NMD was a significant predictor of higher NIV usage (8.0 ± 6.1 hour/night) in multivariate analysis (p = .036). The HPR subcohort had the lowest usage of all indications. Age and BMI did not predict usage. A nasal interface (p &lt; .01) and lower expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) setting (p &lt; .001) were associated with increased NIV usage.

Conclusions
This study highlights the multifaceted nature of NIV usage. Where demographic factors were not consistent predictors of usage, interface, and clinical indication were associated with usage. These findings highlight that the HPR users are a group at risk of low usage.
Implementation of a Standardized Red Blood Cell Transfusion Policy in a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Siebenaler Lauren , Masciola Randee , Sayre Christine , Sharpe Elizabeth 
Published: July 2024

Background:
Within the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), infants frequently receive packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions. Although medically necessary, potential negative long- and short-term outcomes exist following PRBC transfusions in very low birth-weight (VLBW) infants (<1500 g). Synthesis of the literature demonstrates that the use of a restrictive PRBC transfusion policy can lead to a decreased number of transfusions administered with no increase in long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. Blood transfusions have also been linked to the diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in VLBW infants.

Purpose:
For this quality improvement project, a restrictive PRBC transfusion policy was implemented in a level IV NICU to promote consistent care and evaluate changes in PRBC administration.

Methods:

The data were collected both pre- and post-policy implementation including: the number of blood transfusions, diagnosis of NEC, and diagnosis of IVH among infants <1500 g.

Results:
The data showed no significant change in the number of PRBC transfusions administered. Likewise, few infants were diagnosed with NEC or IVH during this same time period with minimal change between pre- and post-policy implementation data.

Implications for Practice and Research:
Following policy implementation, there was a significant improvement in communication among providers regarding transfusion ordering and the inclusion of hematocrit thresholds in daily progress notes. This unintended outcome has helped to promote sustainability and enhance patient care within the NICU where this policy was implemented. Continued data collection may be beneficial in indicating whether a standardized PRBC transfusion policy will impact the administration of transfusions and diagnosis of NEC or IVH.
Understanding the Intergenerational Impact of Migration: An Adult Mortality Advantage for the Children of Forced Migrants?
Authors: Wilson Ben , Wallace Matthew , Saarela Jan 
Published: July 2024

Background:
Children of immigrants often have excess mortality rates, in contrast to the low mortality typically exhibited by their parents’ generation. However, prior research has studied children of immigrants who were selected for migration, thereby rendering it difficult to isolate the intergenerational impact of migration on adult mortality.

Methods:
We use semiparametric survival analysis to carry out a total population cohort study estimating all-cause and cause-specific mortality among all adult men and women from age of 17 years among all men and women born in 1953–1972 and resident in Finland in 1970–2020. We compare children of forced migrants from ceded Karelia, an area of Finland that was ceded to Russia during the Second World War, with the children of parents born in present-day Finland.

Results:
Children with two parents who were forced migrants have higher mortality than children with two parents born in Northern, Southern, and Western Finland, but similar or lower mortality than the subpopulation of children whose parents were born in the more comparable areas of Eastern Finland. For women and men, a mortality advantage is largest for external causes and persists after controlling for socioeconomic factors.

Conclusion:
Our findings suggest that forced migration can have a beneficial impact on the mortality of later generations, at least in the case where forced migrants are able to move to contextually similar locations that offer opportunities for rapid integration and social mobility. The findings also highlight the importance of making appropriate comparisons when evaluating the impact of forced migration.

Authors: Heidari Zahra , Hashemi Hassan , Sotude Danial , Ebrahimi-Besheli Kiana , Khabazkhoob Mehdi , Soleimani Mohammad , Djalilian Ali R. , Yousefi Siamak 
Published: July 2024

Purpose:
Clinical diagnosis of dry eye disease is based on a subjective Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire or various objective tests, however, these diagnostic methods have several limitations.

Methods:
We conducted a comprehensive review of articles discussing various applications of artificial intelligence (AI) models in the diagnosis of the dry eye disease by searching PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases up to December 2022. We initially extracted 2838 articles, and after removing duplicates and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria based on title and abstract, we selected 47 eligible full-text articles. We ultimately selected 17 articles for the meta-analysis after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria on the full-text articles. We used the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies to evaluate the quality of the methodologies used in the included studies. The performance criteria for measuring the effectiveness of AI models included area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. We calculated the pooled estimate of accuracy using the random-effects model.

Results:
The meta-analysis showed that pooled estimate of accuracy was 91.91% (95% confidence interval: 87.46–95.49) for all studies. The mean (±SD) of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, and specificity were 94.1 (±5.14), 89.58 (±6.13), and 92.62 (±6.61), respectively.

Conclusions:
This study revealed that AI models are more accurate in diagnosing dry eye disease based on some imaging modalities and suggested that AI models are promising in augmenting dry eye clinics to assist physicians in diagnosis of this ocular surface condition.
Clinical Characteristics, Outcomes, and Interobserver Agreement of Point-of-Care Ultrasound Detected Mesenteric Adenitis in Nonsurgical Pediatric Abdominal Pain
Authors: Tsung James W. , Stone Dana E. , Sanders Jennifer E. 
Published: July 2024

Objectives
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in the emergency department (ED) may facilitate the diagnosis of nonsurgical sources of abdominal pain after surgical causes are excluded. Identifying mesenteric adenitis is a feasible POCUS application due to its ease of use and speed. However, there are scant data regarding the diagnosis of mesenteric adenitis by POCUS. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and interobserver agreement of mesenteric adenitis identified on POCUS in pediatric patients with nonsurgical abdominal pain.

Methods
This was a retrospective review at a tertiary-care, urban pediatric ED. All cases of mesenteric adenitis diagnosed on POCUS from January 2018 to August 2022 were reviewed. Demographics and clinical data, including relevant outcomes, were recorded. All POCUS videos were reviewed by a senior sonologist-physician for determination of mesenteric adenitis in children 21 years and younger with nonsurgical abdominal pain. Interobserver agreement by Cohen κ was calculated between experienced and novice physician sonologists blinded to diagnosis, who reviewed 77 six-second video clips for presence or absence of mesenteric adenitis.

Results
Thirty-three subjects were identified by POCUS to have mesenteric adenitis in the setting of nonsurgical abdominal pain presenting to our ED. Most common indications for POCUS were for suspected appendicitis, suspected intussusception, or undifferentiated abdominal pain. Forty-six percent of patients were male; median age was 9 years (interquartile range, 4–14 years). On 4-week clinical follow-up, 1 patient returned to our ED with a surgical abdomen. Cohen κ values were 0.83 (95% confidence interval, 0.70–0.97) between experienced sonologist-physicians and 0.76 (95% confidence interval, 0.61–.90) between novice and experienced sonologist-physicians.

Conclusions
POCUS can identify mesenteric adenitis, typically a diagnosis of exclusion, in pediatric patients with nonsurgical abdominal pain, both by novice and experienced physician-sonologists. Use of POCUS may help ED clinicians identify a common cause of nonsurgical abdominal pain in children.
Mixed-Methods Analysis of Provider-Documented and Patient-Reported Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms Among Veterans With Neurogenic Bladder

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Inappropriate urinary tract infection diagnosis in patients with neurogenic bladder may result from ambiguous symptoms experienced by these patients and contributes to antibiotic overuse. Characterization of patient-reported signs and symptoms may help providers more appropriately diagnose urinary tract infections. A previous study collected signs and symptoms recorded in electronic medical records of patients with neurogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury/disorder, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease with at least one urinary tract infection diagnosis between 2017–2018 at four medical centers. In this study, 23 veterans from this cohort with urinary tract infection diagnoses in the previous year participated in focus groups conducted May 2021–May 2022. Transcripts were coded using mixed deductive and inductive coding. Qualitative data were compared to electronic medical records data to give a comprehensive picture of signs and symptoms. Both providers and patients attributed nonspecific symptoms like urine changes to urinary tract infection, but there was discordance between patients and providers in the identification of other signs and symptoms. Several patients described providers disregarding symptoms other than fever or chills. Optimizing urinary tract infection care for patients with neurogenic bladder could involve improving patient-provider communication about urinary tract infection signs and symptoms and emphasizing thorough elicitation and evaluation of all signs and symptoms.
Brief Report: Alternative Pulmonary Function Measures of Emphysema in People With HIV
Authors: Auld Sara C. , Harrington Kristin R. V. , Nguyen Minh Ly T. , Colasanti Jonathan A. , Marconi Vincent C. , Staitieh Bashar S. 
Published: July 2024

Introduction:
People with HIV (PWH) have nearly twice the risk of emphysema than people without HIV. This risk, which has been associated with HIV-mediated changes in the lung immune environment and more extensive radiographic emphysema, may result in different patterns of airflow limitation on pulmonary function testing (PFT) than those traditionally used in people without HIV.

Methods:
In this prospective cohort of PWH in Atlanta, Georgia, we analyzed PFT and chest computed tomography data from July 2013 through June 2018. After comparing the prevalence of PFT measures of airflow limitation for those with and without radiographic emphysema, we used binary recursive partitioning to identify PFT measures that differentiated between PWH with and without radiographic emphysema.

Results:
Among 167 PWH who had both PFT and computed tomography data during the study period, 89 (53%) had radiographic emphysema. Those with radiographic emphysema were more likely to have airflow limitations on PFTs. Recursive partitioning identified partitions at a forced expiratory volume in 1 second to forced vital capacity ratio (FEV1/FVC) of 0.78 and a residual volume of 116% predicted. These partitions enabled the identification of 84 (94%) PWH with radiographic emphysema, in contrast to the traditional diagnostic criteria of an FEV1/FVC ratio of 0.7, which only identified 49 (55%) of those with radiographic emphysema.

Conclusions:
Emphysema in PWH may have different patterns of airflow limitation on PFTs that are not adequately captured by traditional diagnostic criteria. Future studies can seek to validate these findings and determine optimal thresholds for diagnosing HIV-associated emphysema.
Contextual Factors Influencing Implementation of HIV Treatment Support Strategies for Female Sex Workers Living With HIV in South Africa: A Qualitative Analysis Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research

Published: July 2024

Background:
Female sex workers (FSWs) face a confluence of multilevel barriers to HIV care. In South Africa, 63% of FSWs are living with HIV and <40% are virally suppressed. The objective of this analysis was to identify implementation determinants of 2 HIV treatment support strategies.

Methods:
The Siyaphambili trial tested a decentralized treatment provision and an individualized case management strategy aimed to support FSWs living with unsuppressed HIV viral loads. We identified a nested sample of trial participants using maximum variation sampling (n = 36) as well as a purposively selected sample of implementors (n = 12). We used semistructured interview guides, developed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and deductively coded the transcripts using CFIR, systematically assessing the strength and valence of implementation. We compared construct ratings to determine whether any constructs distinguished implementation across strategies.

Results:
Across 3 CFIR domains (innovation characteristics, inner setting, and outer setting), 12 constructs emerged as facilitating, hindering, or having mixed effects on strategy implementation. The relative advantage, design, adaptability, and complexity constructs of the innovation characteristics and the work infrastructure construct of the inner setting were strongly influential (±2 or +2). While the majority of construct valence and strength rating (9–12) were not distinguishing across strategies, we observed 3 weakly distinguishing CFIR constructs (relative advantage, complexity, and available resources).

Conclusions:
Given the potential benefits of differentiated service delivery strategies, identifying the relative importance of implementation determinants facilitates transparency and evaluation, supporting future strategy design and implementation. Optimizing implementation will support addressing inequities in HIV care and treatment services.
Surgical Correction of Orbital Hypertelorism With Absorbable Plate Instead of Frontal and Orbital Bar and Inverted U-Shaped Osteotomy

Published: July 2024

Objective
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect and feasibility of using absorbable plate instead of frontal and orbital bar and inverted U-shaped osteotomy to correct the widening of orbital distance.

Methods
The surgical effect and feasibility of using absorbable plate instead of frontal and orbital bridge plus inverted U-osteotomy for orbital widening syndrome in seven cases between January 2019 and February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. First, the surgical procedure for orbital hypertelorism was inverted U-shaped orbital osteotomy, and a frontal bone flap was removed, exposing the superior orbital margin and the orbital circumference, and the orbital bone was directly cut off by inverted U-shaped osteotomy. The widened bone in the middle of the orbit was removed, and a long absorbable plate was used to replace the orbitofrontal bridge. The two sides of the orbit were fixed on the absorbable plate, and the absorbable plate was fixed on the rear skull. The clinical effect of treatment, complications (such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage and infection), safety, and feasibility of surgery were evaluated.

Results
Using absorbable plate instead of fronto-orbital bridge achieved the effect of orbitofrontal bridge, without orbital distance widening, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and intracranial infection. Operating time was reduced. There was no metal fixation, and there was no risk of a second operation.

Conclusions
The effect of replacing the frontal-orbital bridge with an absorbable plate and inverted U-shaped osteotomy is positive, the operation time is short, and the orbital distance is clearly improved. This approach can replace the traditional orbital-distance operation, and the incidence of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage and infection is low. Long-term follow-up results are stable.
