Background: No validated score is available for the prediction of return to sport (RTS) after proximal hamstring avulsion (PHA) surgery. Purpose: To validate a new assessment tool for patients after PHA surgery: the Parisian Hamstring Avulsion Score (PHAS). Study Design: Cohort study (Diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. Methods: All patients at our clinic who had surgery for PHA between January 2015 and March 2018 were included in this study. A suspected clinical diagnosis of PHA was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. PHA was repaired by surgical reinsertion with suture anchors. Minimum postoperative follow-up was 2 years, and the PHAS, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), score, and Tegner score were used. The PHAS is a patient-reported outcome measure, evaluating the effect of PHA injury with 9 items. It was validated by calculating its psychometric properties, and then correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the PHAS, UCLA score, and Tegner score. Cutoff values for the prediction of RTS were determined. Results: A prospective case series study was performed. A total of 156 patients were included. Median age (first quartile; third quartile) was 54.2 years (44.7 years; 61.3 years), and the mean ± SD time of the final follow-up was 69 ± 11.6 months. Two years after surgery, 66.7% (n = 104) of patients were able to RTS. A strong correlation was noted between all 3 scores at 1 year postoperatively. Overall internal consistency was high, with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.86. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.96, showing excellent reliability. The minimal detectable change was 12.9. No patients reached the maximum score at 2 years. Analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curves of the 3 scores at postoperative 9 months in relation to the RTS at 1 and 2 years showed area under the curve values of >0.7, indicating significant discriminant capacity for the RTS. A PHAS cutoff value of 86 at 9 months for the prediction of RTS at postoperative 1 year had a sensitivity of 65.6% (95% CI, 53.7%-77.5%) and a specificity of 81.4% (95% CI, 69.8%-93%). Conclusion: PHAS is a valid and reliable tool for follow-up after PHA surgery. It also offers a simple way to predict RTS.

Published: February 2024

Objective Trainees and Fellows of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) work in complex interpersonal and organisational environments. Engagement in supervision can be a helpful way for trainees and Fellows to achieve interpersonal, professional, and organisational success. Supervision comes in many forms depending on the stage and state of one’s career. An awareness of different supervision models is relevant to trainees’ understanding of what is expected of them and their supervisors in their work and educational contexts. This paper explores the taxonomy of supervision models available to RANZCP trainees and Fellows in Australia and New Zealand. Conclusion Supervision is a heterogeneous concept with multiple aims, outcomes, and processes that change with ones’ stage of career.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Cancer remains a significant health burden in Nigeria and requires the efforts of all stakeholders to address it. Little is known about how the worldviews of Nigerian patients with cancer and other institutional factors affect cancer management in Nigeria. This paper draws evidence from an ethnonursing study conducted in a Nigerian cancer care setting. Method: This study adopted a qualitative design using an ethnonursing approach. The study was conducted in one of the primary cancer treatment centers owned by the federal government of Nigeria. Data collection was conducted using participant observation, interviews, and field notes. Data collected were analyzed using NVivo 12 and presented as categories and sub-categories. Results: Analysis yielded two themes and seven sub-themes. The major themes included (1) dominant worldview and (2) institutional/contextual factors. Participants attributed life, living, and death as being controlled by a supreme being. Cancer care was constrained by unfavorable institutional factors such as lack of equipment, staffing, and intensified workload. Discussion: Cancer institutions should provide more cancer care infrastructure that will facilitate the work of nurses and other health care workers. There should be an enabling environment that would attract and retain nurses in the cancer wards. The hospital environment should be made conducive for the cancer care providers, patients with cancer, and their relatives.

Published: February 2024

Background: Breastfeeding mothers are prone to undernutrition. However, factors contributing to maternal undernutrition are not exhaustively understood. Hence, this study aimed to determine prevalence of undernutrition among breastfeeding mothers and identify associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 606 breastfeeding mothers from selected rural districts in Oromia and Sidama regional states of Ethiopia. Data were collected through an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Nutritional status was assessed using body mass index (BMI) and mid-upper-arm-circumference (MUAC). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with maternal undernutrition. Results: One out of ten breastfeeding mothers was found undernourished as determined by BMI (12.6%) and MUAC (10.7%). Mothers who did not practice hand washing after cleaning children’s bottom were 2 and 3 times more likely to be undernourished compared to their counters, as measured by BMI (AOR = 2.29, P = .002) and MUAC (AOR = 3.03, P < .001), respectively. Mothers living in mildly or moderately food insecure households (AOR = 2.37, P = .019) were more than two times more likely to be undernourished as determined by MUAC. Mothers who breastfed children in the age range of 9 to 11 (AOR = 2.79, P = .025) or 12 to 23 (AOR = 2.57, P = .018) months were more than two and half times more likely to be undernourished as determined by BMI. Conclusions: Maternal undernutrition is a medium-level public health problem in rural districts of Oromia and Sidama regional states in Ethiopia. The lack of hand washing practice after cleaning a child’s bottom, household food insecurity and higher child age increased the odds of maternal undernutrition. Mothers should prioritize and improve their nutritional care as the age of their breastfed child increases. Nutrition programs in rural districts of Ethiopia should also aim to improve personal hygiene practices and food insecurity integrated with implementation researches to evaluate program’s impact on nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers.

Published: February 2024

Background: With our growing insight into the molecular heterogeneity and biological characteristics of breast cancer, individualized treatment is the future of cancer treatment. In this prospective Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center Breast Cancer Precision Platform Series study – neoadjuvant therapy (FASCINATE-N) trial, we classify breast cancer patients using multiomic characteristics into different subtypes to evaluate the efficacy of precision-based targeted therapies compared to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods and design: The FASCINATE-N trial is a prospective, randomized, precision-based umbrella trial that plans to enroll 716 women with early breast cancer. After enrollment, patients will first be divided into three groups: hormone receptor (HR)+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)−, HER2+, and HR−/HER2−. The HR+/HER2− patients are further stratified using fusion and clustering of similarity network fusion (SNF) algorithm into four subtypes; HER2+ patients are divided into HR+/HER2+ and HR−/HER2+ subtypes; and HR−/HER2− patients are stratified using the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center classification. For the assignment of drugs to patients, Bayesian methods of adaptive randomization will be used. The primary endpoint is pathological complete response rate; secondary endpoints include 3-year invasive disease-free survival, overall response rate, and toxicities according to common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) scale version 4.0 and the ratio of patients with complete cell cycle arrest (Ki67 < 2.7%) in HR+/HER2+ breast cancer. Discussion: The goal of our trial is to test the efficacy of our subtyping-based treatment in a neoadjuvant setting and to conduct a pilot study into the efficacy of targeted therapies within each precision-based subtype. The precision-based treatment arm can be updated with the refinement of our subtyping method, the discovery of new targets, and the development of novel targeted drugs. Our trial offers a unique opportunity to provide patients with individualized neoadjuvant therapy and test promising novel treatments that may further benefit patients.

Occipital condyle fracture in the pediatric population: A management algorithm and systematic review
Authors: Morcos Mary M , Liu David S , Farid Alexander R , See Pokmeng , Hogue Grant D 
Published: February 2024

Purpose: This study aims to develop an accessible stepwise management algorithm for pediatric presentations of occipital condyle fractures (OCFs) based on a systematic review of the published literature regarding diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and outcomes. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted on PubMed to locate English language studies reporting on the management of pediatric OCFs. Data extraction of clinical presentation, management strategies, imaging, and treatment outcome was performed. Results: A total of 15 studies reporting on 38 patients aged 18 years and younger presenting with OCFs were identified. Loss of consciousness (LOC), depressed level of consciousness, neck pain, decreased neck range of motion (ROM), and cranial nerve injury were the most common presenting symptoms. Diagnostic imaging included radiographs, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and functional radiographs to assess cervical stability. Treatment options varied and included soft collar, hard collar, and halo vest. All studies resulted in a complete healing of the OCF, with resolution of associated pain. Conclusion: The proposed treatment algorithm suggests a framework for the management of pediatric OCFs based on the available evidence (levels of evidence: 3, 4). This review of the literature indicated that a stepwise approach should be utilized in the management of isolated pediatric OCFs.
Preoperative Gallows traction as an adjunct to hip open reduction surgery: Is it safe and is it effective?
Authors: Uren Nicholas C , Judd Julia , Lindisfarne Edward A , Elliott Kirsten G , Aarvold Alexander 
Published: February 2024

Background: Traction is used at our hospital before open reduction in infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip. Theoretically, it reduces soft-tissue tension, allowing an easier surgical reduction and therefore lower surgical complications. Owing to extended hospital stays, potential complications, and lack of evidence, the use of traction has decreased. This study aims to quantify whether traction is safe and whether it has any demonstrable effect. Methods: The perioperative course of 80 patients undergoing preoperative traction and hip open reduction were reviewed. The height of hip dislocation was classified using the International Hip Dysplasia Institute classification system on both radiographs taken before and after traction. Any complications related to traction were recorded, along with the requirement for femoral shortening osteotomies, incidence of re-dislocation, and longer-term rate of avascular necrosis. Results: Traction lowered the resting position of the majority of hips, with the median International Hip Dysplasia Institute grade before traction improving from 4 to 3, a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.00001). There were no neurovascular complications. Two babies were complicated with broken skin sores; however, surgery still progressed uneventfully. Zero hips in the cohort required femoral shortening osteotomies to achieve a tension-free reduction, and the re-dislocation rate was 0%. However, 96% of hips were Severin 1 or 2 at 6-year follow-up. Conclusion: Notably, 1 week of preoperative traction significantly improves the resting position of the hip in high dislocations. It is safe when used in infants weighing <12 kg, and subsequent surgical outcomes are excellent, thus supporting its use ahead of developmental dysplasia of the hip open reduction surgery. Level of evidence: Level IV.

Authors: Quincho-Lopez Alvaro , Poma Nuvith , José Montenegro-Idrogo Juan 
Published: February 2024

Background: There is growing evidence of fungal infections associated with COVID-19. The development of cryptococcosis in these patients has been infrequently reported. However, it can be life-threatening. Objective: To identify cases of COVID-19 patients who developed cryptococcosis and to compare baseline characteristics and management between those who survived and those who died. Methods: We conducted a scoping review using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase to identify studies that reported patients with COVID-19 and cryptococcosis. No language restriction was applied. Single case reports, case series, and original articles were included. It is important to note that ‘ n’ refers to the total number of individuals with the specified variable. Results: A total of 58 studies were included. Among these studies, 51 included individual patient data, detailing information on a total of 65 patients, whereas eight studies reported the proportion of cryptococcosis in COVID-19 patients. One study provided both individual and aggregate case information. From individual patient data, the majority were male (73.9%; n = 48) with a median age of 60 years (range: 53–70). Severe COVID-19 and multiple comorbidities, led by arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, were frequently reported, but few had classic immunosuppression factors. On the other hand, HIV status, either negative or positive, was reported in just over half of the patients (61.5%; n = 40). Most were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) (58.5%; n = 31), received mechanical ventilation (MV) (50.0%; n = 26), and developed disseminated cryptococcosis (55.4%; n = 36). Secondary infection, mainly bacterial, was reported in 19 patients (29.2%). Mortality was 47.7% ( n = 31). Of the studies that reported the proportion of cryptococcosis in COVID-19 cases, the majority were descriptive studies published as conference abstracts. Conclusion: Cryptococcosis in COVID-19 patients has been reported more frequently. However, it is still not as common as other fungal infections associated with COVID-19. Few patients have some classic immunosuppression factors. The factors associated with mortality were male sex, age, ICU admission, MV, secondary infections, and lymphopenia.

Published: February 2024

Objective:This study aimed to determine the association between adolescent socioeconomic status (father’s education and adolescent subjective socioeconomic status) and adult quality of life and the mediation roles of adult socioeconomic status, social capital and lifestyle (physical activity and exposure to smoke) among the “Tehran University of Medical Sciences Employees Cohort (TEC) Study” participants.Method:Data of 4455 participants were derived from the Tehran University of Medical Sciences Employees Cohort (TEC) Study. In this study, the World Health Organization quality of life-BREF, the World Bank’s Integrated and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed with structural equation modeling using SPSS Amos 24.0 program.Results:The mean age of the participants was 42.31 years (SD: 8.37) and most of the subjects were female (60.7%). Correlation analysis results revealed that, quality of life had a significant and positive association with adolescent subjective socioeconomic status ( r = 0.169, p < 0.01) and father’s education ( r = 0.091, p < 0.01). A mediation model testing the direct relationship between adolescent socioeconomic status and adult socioeconomic status and quality of life, showed a positive relationship between adolescent subjective socioeconomic status (β = 0.229, p < 0.001) and father’s education (β = 0.443, p < 0.001) with adult socioeconomic status. Adult socioeconomic status was positively related to quality of life (β = 0.205, p < 0.001). Adult socioeconomic status mediated the relationship between adolescent subjective socioeconomic status (β = 0.047, p < 0.01) and father’s education (β = 0.091, p < 0.01) with quality of life. While adult socioeconomic status fully mediated the relationship between the father’s education and quality of life, it partially mediated the adolescent subjective socioeconomic status-quality of life association. Other variables such as social capital and lifestyle did not have mediator role in a mediation model.Conclusion:This study provides the evidence for the role of adult socioeconomic status as a partial mediator between adolescent subjective socioeconomic status and quality of life. Therefore, there are several unknown mediators other than adult socioeconomic status that need to be explored in future studies.
The use of graphic displays and their influence on awareness and understanding of patient safety incidents: An exploratory study
Authors: Schortz Lisen , Mossop Liz , Bergström Annika , Oxtoby Catherine 
Published: February 2024

Background Medical incidents cause harm in both human and veterinary care. Repercussions are similar and reach far beyond the patient, negatively impacting the people close to the patient, healthcare professionals, and the healthcare organization. Whilst good practice is to capture events in incident reporting systems to facilitate learning, critics argue that there is too much focus on this process and too little focus on harnessing the benefits from the data. This exploratory study aimed to investigate how graphic display of data could influence awareness and understanding of patient safety risks. Methods A dashboard graphically displaying incident data was created and a mixed methods approach was utilized to investigate how the dashboard influenced participants awareness and understanding of incidents. Quantitative pre-intervention and post-intervention survey data was integrated with semi-structured interview data through a pillar integration process. Results The survey response rates were 48% ( n = 77) and 46% ( n = 74), and 12 interviews were conducted. The four pillars: Emerging enlightenment, tools, behaviours and habits, language and education were identified. There was a difference in understanding of incident data between clinically and non-clinically trained participants. Conclusion This novel study suggests that graphic displays of data may bring increased understanding of safety risks, trigger activity, and bridge conversations between clinically and non-clinically trained stakeholders.

Abstract
Background
Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) causes significant mortality in shrimp aquaculture. The infection is primarily instigated by Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) strains carrying a plasmid encoding the binary toxin PirAB. Yet, comprehension of supplementary virulence factors associated with this relatively recent disease remains limited. Furthermore, the same holds for gastroenteritis in humans caused by other Vp genotypes. Additionally, given the prevalent use of antibiotics to combat bacterial infections, it becomes imperative to illuminate the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes within these bacteria.

Results
A subsampled number of 1,036 Vp genomes was screened for the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes, revealing an average prevalence of 5 ± 2 (SD) genes. Additional phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing of three Vp strains (M0904, TW01, and PV1) sequenced in this study demonstrated resistance to ampicillin by all tested strains. Additionally, Vp M0904 showed multidrug resistance (against ampicillin, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole). With a focus on AHPND, a screening of all Vibrio spp. for the presence of pirA and/or pirB indicates an estimated prevalence of 0.6%, including four V. campbellii, four V. owensii, and a Vibrio sp. next to Vp. Their pirAB-encoding plasmids exhibited a highly conserved backbone, with variations primarily in the region of the Tn3 family transposase. Furthermore, an assessment of the subsampled Vp genomes for the presence of known virulence factors showed a correlation between the presence of the Type 3 Secretion System 2 and tdh, while the presence of the Type 6 Secretion System 1 was clade dependent. Furthermore, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) unveiled (new) genes associated with pirA, pirB, tdh, and trh genotypes. Notable associations with the pirAB genotype included outer membrane proteins, immunoglobulin-like domain containing proteins, and toxin-antitoxin systems. For the tdh + /trh + genotypes (containing tdh, trh, or both genes), associations were found with T3SS2 genes, urease-related genes and nickel-transport system genes, and genes involved in a ‘minimal’ type I-F CRISPR mechanism.

Conclusions
This study highlights the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes in Vp, identifying novel genetic markers associated with AHPND and tdh + /trh + genotypes. These findings contribute valuable insights into the genomic basis of these genotypes, with implications for shrimp aquaculture and food safety.
