The Investigation of Nurses’ Sociotropy and Autonomy Personality Features in the Context of Emotional Habitus
Authors: MALAK AKGÜN Bahanur 
Published: December 2023

The study was designed to investigate of nurses’ sociotropy and autonomy personality features in the context of emotional habitus.
The study was carried out in accordance with the qualitative research design and was supported by quantitative data. Information Form, Sociotropy-Autonomy Scale were applied to 10 nurses. Also, semi-structured thorough individual interviews were made with them.
Seven nurses have voluntarily chosen their profession and the others are not. Five nurses stated that nursing is appropriate for their personal character. Six nurses stated that nursing influenced the positive development of personal character. According to the findings, nurses who have developed autonomous personality characteristics and chose willingly the profession did so since it is a profession that is compatible with their individual identities or their primary habitus. Nurses claimed that the nursing profession suited their personalities also reported that the profession had a positive effect on their personalities. The findings revealed the significance of developing both autonomy and sociotropy personality characteristics. The nurses reported that their nursing profession brought them with sociotropy personality characteristics. If there are differences between the social identities of nurses and their nursing identities (the emotional habitus examined in this study), nurses tend to adopt the identity of the nursing profession. The nurse is motivated in this manner because he/she enjoys this different habitus, which makes his/her life, communication, and nursing career simpler. These advantages drive his/her to adopt this different habitus and incorporate it into his/her social identity. In this context, the researchers' investigation of nurses' personality traits in the context of their emotional habitus will positively affect the quality of care.

Mind the widening ‘theory–practice gap’? The retreat to positivism in planning practice
Authors: Ludwig Carol , Sykes Olivier John , Ludwig Greg 
Published: December 2023

This article argues that recent times have seen a (re)intensification of positivist decision making in planning practice in England. Ostensibly underpinned by appeals to scientific evidence and ‘objective’ fact, it seems this is resulting in an increased difficulty in operationalising subjective forms of knowledge. This it is argued has led to a widening theory–practice gap which has serious consequences for participatory democracy. The paper uses planning philosophy (theories of knowledge) as an analytical framework with which to examine these developments from both a theoretical and practice perspective. The latter is supported by insights from public and private sector planners, gathered during semi-structured interviews in 2021. Our findings suggest that a better philosophical understanding of the world within which planning operates can meaningfully inform both theory and practice and help planners to make sense of and navigate the trends described above.

Optimal Immobilization After Fixation of Bennett's Fracture: A Cadaveric Study
Authors: Mitchell Anthony J. , Ablove Robert H. , Bradley Erik 
Published: December 2023

Objective:
Treating high-level athletes involves a balance between early and safe return to play. Various types of protective immobilization have been recommended after operatively treated Bennett's fracture. The purpose of this study was to investigate if hand-based immobilization offers protection equivalent to forearm-based immobilization.

Materials and Methods:

A cadaveric model of Bennett's fracture was created in 8 fresh-frozen, cadaveric forearms. Osteosynthesis was performed using a single headless compression screw. Three matched pairs were casted in either hand-based or forearm length, thumb spica casts, while 2 specimens remained un-casted as controls. Specimens were mounted on a custom testing apparatus. Weights were added in 6.8-kg increments until fixation failed and the fracture displaced. Fluoroscopy was performed after each trial. We used the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test to compare the groups. We considered
P
<.05 statistically significant.

Results:

Failure of fixation occurred at 6.8 kg in the control specimens. Fixation failed in hand-based and forearm length casts at a mean of 18.1±5.1 kg. We did not find a statistically significant difference between median values of load at failure in kilograms across control specimens and 2 immobilization categories (
P
=.114). All specimens in the hand-based group sustained additional wrist injuries, while no additional injuries were noted in the forearm length group.

Conclusion:

Our study results showed that hand-based immobilization provides equivalent protection against fixation failure for operatively treated Bennett's fractures but may predispose athletes to increased risk of wrist injury compared with traditional, forearm-based casting. [

A Novel Digital Templating Method for Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients With Unilateral Hip Arthrosis
Authors: Mazur Matthew , Patel Ishan , Zalikha Abdul K. , Rodriguez Guillermo , Darwiche Hussein , Vaidya Rahul 
Published: December 2023

Background:
Identification of the hip center of rotation (HCOR) before total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial for achieving optimal implant position and size, and for restoring native biomechanics around the hip joint. Current techniques for determining the HCOR in cases of abnormal hip anatomy are limited and unreliable. This study presents a novel technique using open-access software for preoperative THA templating for patients with significantly abnormal hip anatomy due to unilateral hip arthrosis. The aim is to reliably predict the HCOR and acetabular implant size compared with a traditional intraoperative method.

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective study involved 20 patients with unilateral hip arthrosis who underwent THA. Preoperative templating was performed using the experimental technique, and the position of the HCOR was measured on preoperative and postoperative radiographs. The positions of the predicted and actual HCOR were compared, along with the inclination and size of the acetabular component.

Results:

The difference between the predicted and actual HCOR positions was insignificant (0.43±0.22 mm vertically and 0.18±0.20 mm horizontally), and there was a positive correlation between them (
r
=0.78,
P
<.005;
r
=0.72,
P
<.005). The agreement between the predicted and actual acetabular implant sizes was 85%, with near-perfect interobserver agreement (Cohen's kappa=0.827).

Conclusion:

This novel technique provides a reliable method for predicting HCOR and acetabular implant size for THA in cases of unilateral hip arthrosis. This technique may help optimize biomechanics and improve outcomes in challenging cases. Further research and validation are warranted to establish its broader applicability. [

Published: December 2023

Objective:
This study sought to understand trends in industry payments for research awarded to orthopedic surgeons.

Materials and Methods:
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Open Payments database was queried for the years 2016 to 2021 for industry payments for research. Financial analyses were performed to understand temporal trends and differences by orthopedic subspecialty and principal investigator characteristics such as sex. The threshold for statistical significance was set at .05.

Results:

A total of 2014 orthopedic surgeons were identified, among whom 542 adult reconstruction (27%) and 460 sports medicine (23%) surgeons were major beneficiaries. Seventy-one female orthopedic surgeons comprised the minority (4%). Total research payments awarded during the study period aggregated to $266,633,592, with adult reconstruction ($88,819,047; 33%) and sports medicine ($57,949,822; 22%) receiving the highest amounts. Total research payments awarded trended upward yearly except for a decline in 2020 that subsequently rebounded (
P
<.001). Median annual research payment per orthopedic surgeon was $13,375. Median total industry payments per orthopedic surgeon differed between specialties (
P
<.001), with the highest amounts for adult reconstruction ($44,063) and sports medicine ($34,567) and the lowest amounts for hand ($12,052) and foot and ankle ($19,233). Median total payments did not differ significantly when stratified by sex (
P
=.276) and region (
P
=.906). Specialties in which the respective top three companies offered the majority of the research funding were musculoskeletal oncology (90%), pediatric orthopedics (66%), and shoulder and elbow (64%).

Conclusion:

These results can be used as a primer for orthopedic surgeons seeking to leverage industry relationships to fund translational research. [

Published: December 2023

Background & objectives:
The successful elimination program of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Nepal decreased the incidence to less than 1 per 10,000 population leading to the consolidation phase. However, new VL cases have been recorded from new districts, threatening the elimination goal. This study monitors the geographical spread of VL and identifies potential risk factors.

Methods:
VL data of 2017–2020 were obtained from the Epidemiology and Disease Control Division (EDCD) of Nepal and mapped. Telephonic interviews with 13 VL patients were conducted.

Results:
The incidence maps indicate that VL is spreading to new areas. The target incidence exceeded four times in hilly and twice in mountainous districts. VL cases occurred in 64 of 77 districts in all three regions (mountainous, hilly and Terai). Interviews showed a correlation between travel history (private, commercial and for studies) and the spread of VL cases to new foci.

Interpretation & conclusion:
One major challenge of VL elimination in the maintenance phase is the spread of infection through travelers to new foci areas, which needs to be under continuous surveillance accompanied by vector control activities. This should be confirmed by a large-scale analytical study.

Authors: Kumawat Neha , Prajapat Ramesh , Meena Pooja , Meena Shashi 
Published: December 2023

Background & objectives:
Vector-borne diseases are a significant issue for public health worldwide, especially in India. In recent years, high number of dengue and chikungunya cases have been reported from Rajasthan state of India, those are principally transmitted by Aedes aegypti. These vectors are extremely intrusive and can thrive in practically any climate. However, vector mosquitos’ prevalence in Jaipur district is not properly documented. Therefore, current research was carried out to ascertain the seasonal fluctuations of Aedes aegypti in Jaipur city, Rajasthan, India.

Methods:
In order to ascertain the seasonal variation, monitoring of Aedes mosquitoes was conducted from August 2021 to July 2022 at nine selected regions in the Jaipur city. The breeding capacity of vectors was evaluated using three vector indices: the House Index, Breteau Index, and Container Index.

Results:
A total of 2172 out of 6336 breeding sites and 3735 out of 7477 containers were found positive for Aedes species. Three important species of Aedes vectors were collected in which Aedes aegypti was reported as the most prevalent. The highest values for House Index (57.60%) and Container Index (54.95%) were observed in October and the least rate was observed in March.

Interpretation & conclusion:
This survey was carried out to investigate the seasonal prevalence of dengue vectors and the findings revealed seasonal fluctuations in the indices of Aedes reproducing potential. This calls for precautionary actions to avoid infection rates and epidemic emergence. Therefore, to stop epidemics and eradicate vector-borne infections, the current study recommends close monitoring and further vector management efforts.

Published: December 2023

Background:
Homologous recombinant repair (HRR) deficit and the associated sensitivity to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) has been well studied in breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, but very little is known about it in other cancer types.

Objectives:
We sought to understand the spectrum of HRR mutations in various cancer types, with the goal of identifying therapeutic targets in lesser-explored cancers.

Materials and Methods:
In this retrospective study conducted between January 2021 and December 2022, we analyzed a cohort of 659 patients with various cancer types with mutations in 15 HRR genes using next generation sequencing, at 4baseCare Onco Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

Results:
We identified a total of 825 gene variants, including 366 likely pathogenic/pathogenic mutations (44.4%), with BRCA1 (196 variants; 22.8%), BRCA2 (183 variants; 21.3%), and ATM (157 variants; 18.3%) being prevalent. Germline and somatic mutations were prevalent in BRCA1 (114 variants; 60.3%) and BRCA2 (46 variants; 24%), respectively. Recurrent mutations were identified in 8 genes, including BRCA1,
BRCA2, BRIP1, BARD1, CDK12, CHEK2, PALB2 and RAD54L. BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations were observed in breast, gynecologic, and musculoskeletal cancers; ATM and BRCA2 in gastrointestinal and biliary tract cancers, respiratory, and head-and-neck cancers; BRCA2 and CDK12 in genitourinary cancers. Additionally, co-occurring mutations (in genes such as BRCA1-BRIP1, ATM-BRCA2, ATM-BRIP1) and known therapeutically significant mutations were identified.

Conclusions:
The presence of therapeutically significant HRR mutations across a broad spectrum of cancer types in our study suggests that these mutations can possibly be targeted, especially in cancers where there is a paucity of therapeutic targets. Further, non-BRCA HRR genes, such as ATM and CDK12, could play a more prominent role than previously recognized.
A cross-sectional comparative study of self-compassion, body perception, and post-traumatic growth in women diagnosed with breast cancer versus those without a cancer diagnosis
Authors: Kaplan Şervan , Bahayi Kader , Faraji Haydeh 
Published: December 2023

Background:
The diagnosis of breast cancer is a traumatic experience that might have a psychological impact on patients. Studies have revealed that self-compassion is significantly related to body image and post-traumatic growth.

Objectives:
We aimed to compare the relationship between self-compassion, post-traumatic growth, and body image between healthy individuals and patients with breast cancer.

Materials and Methods:
This study was designed as a causal-comparative model and was conducted between May 8, 2022, and June 15, 2022, via open social media platforms. We enrolled women aged 18-65 years who resided in Mersin, Türkiye. Our cohort consisted of women with breast cancer and a control group of healthy women who had not been diagnosed with breast cancer. We used the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, Self-Compassion Scale, the Body Cathexis Scale, and sociodemographic data forms for collecting information from participants.

Results:
We enrolled 174 participants; 80 patients with breast cancer, and 94 healthy controls. Self-compassion showed a higher prediction for post-traumatic growth in the group of patients with breast cancer (P < 0.001), whereas it showed a higher prediction for body image in the group of healthy individuals (P < 0.001). In patients with breast cancer, changes in relationships with others (P, 0.032) were higher, while body perception (P < 0.001) and self-compassion (P, 0.046) were lower than in individuals without a diagnosis of breast cancer. Furthermore, we found that patients with breast cancer who perceived that they had been provided with sufficient disease-related information showed higher scores on the self-compassion scale (P, 0.013).

Conclusions:
Self-compassion is an internal resource that can aid women in adjusting to the physical and psychological changes resulting from cancer or any kind of traumatic experience. Furthermore, self-compassion can be a solution for body dissatisfaction.
Durable Clinical Benefit after Dual Checkpoint Inhibition and Single-agent Nivolumab Following Pembrolizumab Failure in Mismatch Repair-deficient Colon Cancer
Authors: Chow Yat-Fung , Cheng Hou-Hsuan , Chen Ming-Huang 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is beneficial in treating tumors with high microsatellite instability or DNA mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) tumors. However, the ideal therapy for patients with advanced dMMR cancer after the failure of the first ICI regimen remains unclear. This case report describes a patient with dMMR ascending colon cancer who later developed endometrial cancer. The patient underwent a sequence of immunotherapies, starting with pembrolizumab, followed by a combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab and finally single-agent nivolumab. This sequence led to a prolonged period of disease control exceeding 20 months. The case highlights the potential benefits of dual checkpoint inhibition and sequential ICI regimens in managing advanced dMMR tumors even after first-line ICI failure; this combination is a promising strategy to explore in future research.

Authors: Purnami Nyilo , Palandeng Rian Waraney , Nugroho Puguh Setyo , Falerina Rosa , Wiyadi H. M. S. , Arifianto Dhany , Moon In Seok 
Published: December 2023

Background:
Hearing screening is a method for early identification of hearing loss. Hearing screening is widely used in hospitals as part of physical examination. However, some of them are difficult to operate outside the hospitals regarding portability and user-friendliness. Therefore, we developed a simple yet easy-to-use portable electronic whisper test (EWT) for field deployment, particularly on many subjects. The EWT validity is a hearing screening method compared to pure-tone audiometry.

Methods:
This study was a cross-sectional comparative with a prospective approach. The subjects were outpatients at the Audiology Clinic of Dr. Soetomo Academic Medical Center, Surabaya, Indonesia, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical analysis made sensitivity and specificity tables using a 2 × 2 table, positive and negative predictive values.

Results:
Samples of 50 participants (100 ears) obtained a sensitivity value of 83%, specificity of 78%, positive predictive value of 45%, and negative predictive value of 95%.

Conclusions:
The EWT is valid for use as a hearing screening method.

Published: December 2023

Background:
Powered circular saw-related injuries (PCSRIs) are responsible for a sizable proportion of occupational injuries presented to the emergency department (ED). The present study portrays the mechanisms, injury patterns, epidemiological parameters, and outcomes among subjects presenting with PCSRI to the ED.

Methods:
This retrospective observational study was conducted in the ED of a tertiary care hospital in eastern India. Clinical records of subjects with PCSRI from June 2019 to June 2022 were reviewed. Data pertaining to patients’ demographic profiles and the patterns and mechanisms of injury were retrieved. The Modified Hand Injury Severity Score (MHISS) and the Injury Severity Score (ISS) were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using R version 4.1.0.

Results:
A total of 175 subjects’ data were analyzed. The median age was 34.5 years, and all subjects were men. The mean year of experience of the subjects was 6.2. The most common job category was carpentry (n = 63 [36%]), followed by “do it yourself work” (n = 26 [14.8%]). One hundred twenty-two (69.7%) subjects had hand injuries (HIs), and the left hand was involved in 85 (69.6%) subjects. The index finger was involved in 36 (29.5%) subjects, followed by the thumb (n = 31 [25.4%]). Laceration (n = 155 [88.5%]) was the most common injury pattern. The subjects’ mean ISS and mean MHISS were 8.52 and 45, respectively.

Conclusion:
PCSRI is associated with moderate-to-severe HIs that are most common in occupational settings. Young male carpenters involved in wood and plywood work are more prone to injuries.
