Published: April 2024

Purpose:
The Functional External Memory Aid Tool (FEMAT) is a performance-based measure of applied cognitive-linguistic abilities and attempted use of compensatory aids and strategies (e.g., using a calendar to recall an appointment) through completion of simulated everyday living tasks. The FEMAT was originally developed in the United States (US), and a need arose from clinicians to adapt the FEMAT for use in other countries. The aim of this study is to describe the cultural adaptation process that resulted in the United Kingdom (UK) and Australian (AU) versions of the FEMAT via international clinical research partnerships.

Method:
The FEMAT was adapted into UK and AU cultures using established guidelines for cultural and linguistic adaptation. The adaptation was completed by researchers and clinicians from the US, UK, and AU, and we followed a six-step process: (a) preparation, (b) forward translation, (c) back translation, (d) committee review, (e) field testing, and (f) finalization.

Results:
The FEMAT items and materials were successfully adapted from the source culture (i.e., English-US) to the target cultures (i.e., English-UK, English-AU). Through the adaptation process, the FEMAT items were determined to be conceptually appropriate for each culture and minimal modifications were made to the FEMAT materials (e.g., voicemail recordings recorded in target dialect). The finalized FEMAT-English-UK and the FEMAT-English-AU versions are available for free on the FEMAT website.

Conclusions:
Through successful international clinical research collaborations, the FEMAT was successfully adapted for use in other English-speaking cultures. This work provides guidance to streamline future FEMAT cultural adaptations.

Suitability of applying ultrathin SOI‐based PIN diodes to photodetection of UV wavelength
Authors: Silva Fernando O. S. , Doria Rodrigo T. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis work intends to investigate the impact of silicon layer thickness and substrate biasing on the UV photodetection efficiency of PIN diodes fabricated with ultra‐thin body and buried oxide (UTBB silicon‐on‐insulator [SOI]) technology, aiming to verify their behaviour on an ultimate commercial technology. UV photodetectors are applied in different fields, such as environmental and biomedical ones, and their implementation in UTBB SOI could enable the design of mixed circuits where data acquisition and processing could be made in the same chip, enhancing systems’ performance. It is shown that a 20‐nm‐thick silicon layer can be applied for UV photodetection and enhanced generated current is obtained when substrate bias is set to guarantee a depletion regime in the entire active layer.
VSG‐controlled parallel‐connected voltage‐source converters in low‐voltage microgrid with dominant resistive impedance
Authors: Rahimi Mohsen 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis paper deals with the control and performance improvement of parallel‐operated voltage‐source inverters (VSIs) controlled as virtual synchronous generators (VSGs). In publications regarding the parallel‐operated VSGs, transmission lines are considered to be mainly inductive. However, less analytical works have been done regarding the control of paralleled VSGs in low‐voltage grids with dominant resistive impedances. Once VSIs are controlled as VSGs in a microgrid with more resistive transmission lines, swing equation and system representation for the power‐angle synchronization will change leading to a new control structure. Therefore, this paper deals with the control of parallel‐operated converter‐based VSGs in low‐voltage grids with dominant resistive line impedances. In this way, the VSG representation, comprising the swing equation and V‐P droop characteristic, for applications in highly resistive microgrids is presented, in which the swing equation and VSG frequency are related to reactive power. Then, the V‐P droop characteristic is modified and an enhanced P‐V droop characteristic for proper sharing of active power between the VSGs in highly resistive microgrids is proposed. Next, the VSG control is modified so that the R/X ratio at the VSG output increases and thus the decoupled control of active/reactive powers in relatively inductive cases is realized as well.

Published: April 2024

ZusammenfassungVerletzungen der Brust- und Lendenwirbelsäule des knochengesunden Patienten entstehen meist durch große Gewalteinwirkung. Höhe und Vektor der einwirkenden Energie beeinflussen hierbei maßgeblich das Verletzungsmuster der Wirbelsäule, welches von der einfachen Kompressionsfraktur bis hin zur Luxationsfraktur mit neurologischen Defiziten reichen kann. Die Schwere der Verletzung und patientenindividuelle Faktoren bestimmen das therapeutische Prozedere. Während einfache Verletzungen ohne Fehlstellungen eine Domäne der konservativen Therapie sind, erfordern komplexe Luxationsfrakturen häufig eine mehrzeitige Stabilisierung und Rekonstruktion der vorderen und hinteren Säule. Anspruchsvoll kann jedoch auch das Erkennen nicht offensichtlicher Instabilitäten bei intermediären Verletzungsmustern sein, deren korrekte Therapie sich häufig erst nach erweiterter Bildgebung und sorgfältiger Befundinterpretation festlegen lässt.Unzureichende Diagnostik und Missinterpretation von Befunden führen zu Fehlbehandlungen, welche in chronischen Instabilitäten und Fehlstellungen münden können. Der folgende Artikel hat das Ziel, einen aktuellen Überblick über die verschiedenen Behandlungsaspekte der verletzten Brust- und Lendenwirbelsäule zu geben.
Zielgerichtete Immuntherapien beim primären Sjögren-Syndrom
Authors: Zehrfeld Nadine , Witte Torsten , Ernst Diana 
Published: April 2024

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDas primäre Sjögren-Syndrom ist eine komplexe und sehr heterogene Erkrankung, die mit einer chronischen Epitheliitis der exokrinen Drüsen einhergeht und somit zur Sicca-Symptomatik führt. In mehr als der Hälfte der Fälle kommt es jedoch auch zu extraglandulären Verläufen. Aktuelle EULAR-Therapieempfehlungen orientieren sich an klinischen Manifestationen und Wirkstoffen, die auch beim systemischen Lupus erythematodes genutzt werden. Empfehlungen für den Einsatz von Biologika-Therapien gibt es wenige: Rituximab bei schweren neurologischen und/oder vaskulitischen Manifestationen, Abatacept bei therapierefraktärer Arthritis und Belimumab bei therapierefraktärer Parotisschwellung. Doch viele neue Wirkansätze werden aktuell in Studien verfolgt. Insbesondere die Daten zu Ianalumab, Iscalimab und Dazodalibep sind vielversprechend. Weitere ganz neue Wirkprinzipien in der rheumatologischen Therapie, wie der Proteasomen-Inhibitor Bortezomib, niedrig dosiertes I2, Pl3Kδ-Inhibitoren oder der Einsatz von mesenchymalen Stammzellen sind ebenfalls Gegenstand aktueller Studien.

Sind Prozessänderungen messbar? Eine Analyse über 16 Jahre mit 4163 proximalen Femurfrakturen
Authors: Müller Franz , Proske Andreas , Füchtmeier Bernd , Wulbrand Christian 
Published: April 2024

AbstractProcess changes in the perioperative setting are rarely analysed, as their results are not immediately tangible and require a high case volume. The primary objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate process changes using proximal femur fractures (PFF) and to examine their effect using various outcome measures. The secondary objective was to define potential quality criteria for the management of PFF.This study included a retrospective analysis of the database of a level-1 trauma centre for PFF. All PFF treated with osteosynthesis and endoprosthesis during the treatment period from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2021, were included. The 16-year period was trichotomously divided for statistical analysis, and the first 6 years were used as the baseline. A total of 10 process changes were implemented in the subsequent 10 years. The impact of these changes was assessed using operative revision rate, infection rate, perioperative transfusion rate, and 1-year mortality.A total of 4,163 PFF were analysed. Regarding the outcome measures, changes in the first 5 years (2012–2016; intramedullary procedures for osteosynthesis and use of disposable drape and gown) showed the most significant effect, with sustained reduction in long-term surgical revision rate of < 10%. Further process optimisations over the past 5 years (2017–2021) also yielded measurable improvements (reduction in infection and transfusion rates). The 1-year mortality remained unchanged, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.Process changes in PFF do not immediately lead to objectively measurable improvements. In retrospect, the paradigm shift from extra- to intramedullary osteosynthesis appears to have the greatest effect, although gradual improvements were noted in all outcome measures over the past 10 years, except for mortality. An objective quality control target should aim for a 1-year revision rate of < 10%.

Abstract
Background and study aims Endoscopic resection has traditionally involved electrosurgical cautery (hot snare) to resect premalignant polyps. Recent data have suggested superior safety of cold resection. We aimed to assess the safety of cold compared with traditional (hot) resection for non-ampullary duodenal polyps.
Methods We performed a systematic review ending in September 2022. The primary outcome of interest was the adverse event (AE) rate for cold compared with hot polyp resection. We reported odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Secondary outcomes included rates of polyp recurrence and post-polypectomy syndrome. We assessed publication bias with the classic fail-safe test and used forest plots to report pooled effect estimates. We assessed heterogeneity using I2 index.
Results Our systematic review identified 1,215 unique citations. Eight of these met inclusion criteria, seven of which were published manuscripts and one of which was a recent meeting abstract. On random effect modeling, cold resection was associated with significantly lower odds of delayed bleeding compared with hot resection. The difference in the odds of perforation (odds ratio [OR] 0.31 [95% confidence interval [CI] 0.05–2.87], P=0.2, I2=0) and polyp recurrence (OR 0.75 [95% CI 0.15–3.73], P=0.72, I2=0) between hot and cold resection was not statistically significant. There were no cases of post-polypectomy syndrome reported with either hot or cold techniques.
Conclusions Cold resection is associated with lower odds of delayed bleeding compared with hot resection for duodenal tumors. There was a trend toward higher odds of perforation and recurrence following hot resection, but this trend was not statistically significant.

Published: April 2024

AbstractWe report a mild method for the preparation of Fmoc-protected dipeptides containing a 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl (DMB) or 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl (HMB) group or modified as pseudoprolines. To minimize the loss of the Fmoc protection, we optimized the saponification conditions and included a calcium additive that protected the other base-sensitive functionalities and improved the yield of the free acid (36–82%). The reaction requires a combination of CaCl2 and NaOH in a mixture of iPrOH and water at room temperature.

Abstract
Background This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for Barrett’s neoplasia recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
Methods Data from patients at 16 centers were collected for a multicenter retrospective study. Patients who underwent at least one RFA treatment for Barrett’s esophagus and thereafter underwent further esophageal ESD for neoplasia recurrence were included.
Results Data from 56 patients who underwent salvage ESD between April 2014 and November 2022 were collected. Immediate complications included one muscular tear (1.8%) treated with stent (Agree classification: grade IIIa). Two transmural perforations (3.6%; treated with clips) and five muscular tears (8.9%; two treated with clips) had no clinical impact and were not considered as adverse events. Seven patients (12.5%) developed strictures (grade IIIa), which were treated with balloon dilation. Histological analysis showed 36 adenocarcinoma, 17 high grade dysplasia, and 3 low grade dysplasia. En bloc and R0 resection rates were 89.3% and 66.1%, respectively. Resections were curative in 33 patients (58.9%), and noncurative in 22 patients (39.3%), including 11 “local risk” (19.6%) and 11 “high risk” (19.6%) resections. At the end of follow-up with a median time of 14 (0–75) months after salvage ESD, and with further endoscopic treatment if necessary (RFA, argon plasma coagulation, endoscopic mucosal resection, ESD), neoplasia remission ratio was 37/53 (69.8%) and the median remission time was 13 (1–75) months.
Conclusion In expert hands, salvage ESD was a safe and effective treatment for recurrence of Barrett’s neoplasia after RFA treatment.
Perimenopausal Physical Activity and Dementia Risk: A Systematic
Review
Authors: Simmons Niall , Ruiz Miguel Rodriguez , Ronca Flaminia 
Published: April 2024

AbstractMixed-gender studies predominate in the current literature exploring the
interaction between physical activity and dementia risk. Considering that
menopause appears to contribute to females’ increased risk of cognitive decline
when compared to males, further clarity is required on the impact of physical
activity in reducing late-life dementia risk, specifically in perimenopausal
females. A literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS and
CINAHL databases yielded fourteen studies for review. A significant inverse
relationship between perimenopausal leisure time physical activity, or physical
fitness, and future all-cause dementia risk was found in most studies exploring
this interaction. Higher levels of perimenopausal household physical activity
and combined non-leisure time physical activity also displayed a favorable
impact in lowering dementia risk. A dose-response effect was demonstrated, with
approximately 10 MET-hour/week of leisure time physical activity required for
significant dementia risk reduction. Three of four papers exploring causality
provided analyses proposed to counter the reverse causation argument, suggesting
that physical activity may indeed have a protective role in reducing dementia
risk post-menopause. The current systematic review provides promising results
regarding the impact of pre- and perimenopausal physical activity on reducing
late-life dementia risk, suggesting that promoting perimenopausal physical
activity may serve as a crucial tool in mitigating the risk of post-menopausal
cognitive decline.

Published: April 2024

AbstractDesmoid tumors are locally aggressive, benign neoplasms originating in connective tissues. Although the exact pathophysiology remains unknown, antecedent trauma or surgery are believed to be important contributing factors. The occurrence of paraspinal desmoid tumor in pediatric patients is extremely uncommon. Here, we present an exceedingly rare case of a pediatric patient with no surgical or family history who developed a paraspinal desmoid tumor.A 9-year-old female patient presented with 4 months of progressive back pain, right lower extremity weakness, and numbness. Spinal imaging revealed a left epidural paraspinal mass compressing her thoracic spinal cord and extending into the left thoracic cavity. A multidisciplinary approach with neurosurgery and thoracic surgery enabled gross total resection of the lesion. The patient had complete resolution of her symptoms with no signs of residual tumor on postoperative imaging. Pathology revealed a desmoid tumor that avidly stained for beta-catenin. On her last follow-up, she developed a recurrence, to which she was started on sorafenib therapy.Desmoid tumors are rare connective tissue neoplasms that often occur after local tissue trauma, such as that caused by surgery. This report presents a rare case of a pediatric paraspinal desmoid tumor that occurred in a patient with no surgical or family history. Such tumors should undergo surgical resection for symptomatic relief and tissue diagnosis. Close clinical and radiographic surveillance are essential in these patients due to the high recurrence rates of desmoid tumor.

AbstractAscites is a common clinical problem, which can be a result of liver cirrhosis, neoplasm, tuberculous or pyogenic peritonitis, heart failure, nephrosis, and pancreatic disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the role of imaging-guided peritoneal biopsy in the diagnosis of ascites of unknown origin (ascites of local cause). Sixty-three patients with ascites of unknown etiology were included. Abdominal ultrasonography (US) with colored Duplex was performed, followed by laboratory investigations such as, ascitic fluid samples, magnetic resonance imaging, multislice computed tomography (CT), or PET/CT scan (if indicated). Imaging-guided peritoneal biopsy such as US-guided or CT-guided percutaneous peritoneal biopsy (in cases of failure of US-guided technique) of omentum or extravisceral masses was performed. Cytological and histopathological examinations of the tissue specimens were done by a single experienced pathologist. Other more invasive procedures (e.g., laparoscopy) were needed when the imaging-guided biopsy was not diagnostic. Fifty-four patients underwent US-guided biopsies, 48 patients were successfully diagnosed, and other 9 patients underwent CT-guided biopsies (not accessible by US-guided modality); laparoscopy was needed only in 6 patients. Malignant peritoneal pathology was found in 48 patients, while tuberculous peritonitis was diagnosed in 14 patients. Imaging-guided biopsies had perfect sensitivity (100%) and negative predictive value (100%) in differentiating neoplastic lesions. Percutaneous imaging-guided biopsy (US/CT guided) of the peritoneum, omenta, and mesentery has been established as a safe, simple, noninvasive, and well-tolerated procedure with high diagnostic accuracy. It can minimize further unnecessary invasive procedures such as laparoscopy.
