Published: October 2023

Purpose: To calculate the prevalence of cervical spondylotic myelopathy among patients with cervical spondylosis.
Methodology: The cross-sectional study was conducted in district Gujrat and Gujranwala on patients with cervical spondylosis in order to evaluate the prevalence of cervical spondylotic myelopathy among them. Data (n=186) was collected through non-probability convenient sampling using a Japanese orthopedic association cervical myelopathy evaluation questionnaire with the reliability of 0.89–0.96 by making a personal visit to different clinics and hospitals in Gujrat.
Findings: The prevalence of cervical spondylotic myelopathy in patients with cervical spondylosis was 62.37%. The prevalence among different age group varied with the highest prevalence among age group 61-65 years old (30.2%). Moreover, it was higher in males than in females (52.6% vs 47.4%). The study also observed significant association between age and prevalence of cervical spondylotic myelopathy as they have p-value (0.000). This study concluded that the prevalence of cervical spondylotic myelopathy is high in cervical spondylosis patients. It appears that advance age may be the factor responsible for cervical spondylotic myelopathy, as cervical spondylosis is more prevalent in older individuals.
Recommendations: There is a need to investigate the impact of lifestyle factors such as physical activity and posture on the frequency and severity of cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Both clinical assessment and imaging techniques should be considered to accurately diagnose and evaluate the severity of CSM. To explore potential correlation between the duration and progression of cervical spondylosis and development of CSM further studies should be conducted.

Validation of the Polish version of the Dyadic Trust Scale
Authors: Woźniak Natalia , Cieślak Mariusz , Janicka Iwona 
Published: October 2023

BackgroundThe aim of the research was to adapt the Dyadic Trust Scale – a tool for studying individuals engaged in close relationships, originally developed by Larzelere and Huston. Trust operationalized as the subjective experience of benevolence and honesty from one’s partner served as the central construct under investigation.Participants and procedureA total of 208 participants involved in emotionally intimate relationships were examined. The successive stages of the re-search procedure related to the verification of the tool for Polish conditions are presented. Evaluation of the psychometric properties encompassed the assessment of both its validity and reliability. The exploratory factor analysis, adopted for the single-factor approach, and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted using SPSS version 28 and SPSS Amos.ResultsThe conducted statistical analyses provided evidence for a unidimensional structure consisting of five statements. The mini-mum score that can be obtained by the individual is 5 points, and the maximum is 35 points. The higher the overall score is, the greater is the trust in the dyad. It turned out that the Polish version of the Dyadic Trust Scale is accurate and reliable.ConclusionsThe Dyadic Trust Scale can be used in scientific research investigating trust dynamics within the partners in a dyad. Its use-fulness justifies recognizing trust as crucial for building and maintaining close relationships.
Quantum Yields of CHDO above 300 nm
Authors: Röth Ernst-Peter , Vereecken Luc 
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The photolysis of mono-deuterated formaldehyde, CHDO, is a critical process in the deuterium-enrichment of stratospheric hydrogen formed from methane. A consistent description of the quantum yields of the molecular and radical channels of the CHDO photolysis is deduced from literature data. The fluorescence measurements of Miller and Lee (1978) provided a first data set to deduce the product quantum yields. An alternative analysis is provided by the measured quantum yield spectrum for the radical channel of the CD2O photolysis by McQuigg and Calvert (1969), which is corrected for wavelength dependency and combined with the CH2O quantum yield spectrum to provide an approximation for CHDO. Both approaches provide consistent results. Finally, the findings of Troe (1984, 2007) enable the specification of the pressure dependence of the quantum yield for CH2O and CD2O and, hence, for CHDO. We find that the radical channel does not show a pressure dependence, whereas the molecular channel is dominated by tunneling and quenching processes. For modeling purposes, simplified representations are given, and as an example for their application, the altitude dependence of the ratio of J(CHDO → HD+CO) and J(CH2O → H2+CO) is provided.

BACKGROUND: The volumetric relationship between the tongue and the oral cavity is an important factor in tooth alignment and occlusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference in tongue and airway volume in skeletal Class I and Class II malocclusion.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The CBCT data which comprised of 30 skeletal Class I and 30 skeletal Class II was stored in DICOM format. Tongue volume and airway volume was analyzed with the help of 3D dolphin software. Values obtained were subjected to statistical analysis with help of SPSS.
RESULTS: Skeletal Class I pattern had more tongue volume with a mean of 45.32 mm3 than skeletal Class II pattern with mean value of 40.27mm3 with P value of <0.001. Skeletal Class I pattern has more airway volume with a mean of 15058.6 mm3 than patients with Skeletal Class II pattern with mean value of 12458.8mm3 with a P value of 0.003. A P value of 0.001 indicated that there is a strong correlation between the tongue volume and airway volume in both skeletal Class I and skeletal Class II subjects.
CONCLUSION: The volume of tongue and airway was greater in skeletal Class I malocclusion compared to skeletal Class II malocclusion. There exists a positive correlation between the tongue volume and airway volume in both the skeletal patterns.

Introduction:
Despite a rapid increase in utilization of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), volume-outcome studies focusing on surgeon volume are lacking. Surgeon-specific volume-outcome studies may inform policymakers and provide insight into learning curves and measures of efficiency with greater case volume.

Methods:
This retrospective cohort study with longitudinal data included all rTSA cases as recorded in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Limited Data Set (2016 to 2018). The main effect was surgeon volume; this was categorized using two measures of surgeon volume: (1) rTSA case volume and (2) rTSA + TSA case volume. Volume cutoff values were calculated by applying a stratum-specific likelihood ratio analysis.

Results:
Among 90,318 rTSA cases performed by 7,097 surgeons, we found a mean annual rTSA surgeon volume of 6 ± 10 and a mean rTSA + TSA volume of 9 ± 14. Regression models using surgeon-specific rTSA volume revealed that surgery from low (<29 cases) compared with medium (29 to 96 cases) rTSA-volume surgeons was associated with a significantly higher 90-day all-cause readmission (odds ratio [OR], 1.17; confidence interval [CI], 1.10 to 1.25; P < 0.0001), higher 90-day readmission rates because of an infection (OR, 1.46; CI, 1.16 to 1.83; P = 0.0013) or dislocation (OR, 1.43; CI, 1.19 to 1.72; P = 0.0001), increased 90-day postoperative cost (+11.3% CI, 4.2% to 19.0%; P = 0.0016), and a higher transfusion rate (OR, 2.06; CI, 1.70 to 2.50; P < 0.0001). Similar patterns existed when using categorizations based on rTSA + TSA case volume.

Conclusion:
Surgeon-specific volume-outcome relationships exist in this rTSA cohort, and we were able to identify thresholds that may identify low and medium/high volume surgeons. Observed volume-outcome relationships were independent of the definition of surgeon volume applied: either by focusing on the number of rTSAs performed per surgeon or anatomic TSAs performed.

Digitalization for Public Expenditure Accountability and Transparency (d4PEAT)
Authors: Iyer Indira , Chowdhury Soumi Roy 
Published: October 2023

Reforms in public expenditure management in India, especially in accounting and administrative processes, have lagged behind the reforms in public revenue management. Lack of uniform accounting codes, limited data standards, and standalone systems across different tiers of governments have led to issues related to data comparability, data aggregability, and misclassification of data. In addition, lack of a single source of truth and inadequate end-to-end digital data capture limits the efficiency, tractability, and accountability of public funds. Limited just-in-time fund-flows, where fund disbursals and actual expenditures are not in tandem, further increases the uncertainty in government transactions. This study identifies the touchpoints where mainstreaming digitalization could address these fundamental challenges of public expenditure management through an actionable roadmap in the form of d4PEAT framework. A composite score under d4PEAT framework for each level of government is calculated, which can be used to rank their performances and assess the progress made in mainstreaming digitalization of public expenditure management. The framework charts a process for debate, suggest areas where policy reforms can be initiated in India, leading to enhancing accountability and transparency in public spending.
Social Needs in the Prehospital Setting (SNIPS)
Authors: Berger Daniel , Caldwell Catherine , Robbins Meghan , Mann Jessica , Gurley Amelia 
Published: October 2023

Introduction:
There has been increasing interest in utilizing EMS to address patient social determinants of health, which are thought to be the cause of many unnecessary transports, particularly for “superutilzing” patients. However, existing research is limited regarding EMS providers’ attitude toward addressing patient social needs and willingness to utilize potential interventions.
Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted using an internet-based survey with multiple methods of recruitment of providers across the United States. Descriptive statistics and Chi Square Tests were utilized to analyze the data.
Results:
A total of 1,112 EMTs and paramedics completed the survey with 43.4% reporting familiarity with the term social determinants of health and 87.7% screening positive for burnout. Greater than 60% reported willingness to use proposed interventions to address patient social needs. Those who were more familiar with the term social determinants of health were more likely to indicate willingness to utilize most interventions and to believe they were responsible for addressing their patients’ social needs whereas burnout had no effect on willingness to use most resources.
Discussion:
Respondents showed substantial interest in using the proposed resources to address patient social determinants of health. EMS providers familiar with the term “social determinants of health” were more likely to believe they were responsible for addressing patient social needs and willing to use interventions, supporting the need for more education on the topic. Additionally, provider burnout was not found to significantly impact willingness to use resources, which evidence suggests may reduce burnout.
Conclusion:
EMS providers should be offered more education on social determinants of health both in their initial training and through continuing education. Furthermore, EMS services should make resources available to allow EMS providers to address their patients’ social needs with the goal of improving patient health and reducing unnecessary transports.
