Background:Reconstruction after en-bloc resection can be challenging in cases of Campanacci grade 3 giant cell tumour of the bone (GCTB) of the distal radius. Here, the authors examined the outcomes of patients with Campanacci grade 3 GCTBs of the distal radius who underwent wrist arthrodesis and reconstruction with ulnar translocation.Material and methods:This case series was a retrospective single-centre study. Clinical assessments regarding the functional status and complications were follow-up. The functional results were evaluated using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) and Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) Score. Pairedt-tests were used to compare the MSTS and DASH scores separately before and after the operation. Statistical differences were considered significant atPless than 0.05.Results:Seven patients were included in this study. The mean follow-up period was 14.43±8.08 months. The average length of tumour resection was 9.78±2.88 cm. The average range of motion of the involved forearm was 82.66° of supination and 81.54° of pronation. The average MSTS score was 11.71±2.21 before and 25.14±2.41 after the operation (P<0.05). The average DASH score on admission was 40.14±14.66, which decreased to 9.02±4.23 after the operation (P<0.05). Of the seven cases, one case had a recurrence, and one patient had radioulnar synostosis.Conclusion:Wrist arthrodesis combined with ulnar translocation can be considered a simple and effective reconstruction method with preservation of function after en-bloc resection of Campanacci grade 3 GCTB of the distal radius. It provides good functional outcomes with low complication rates.

Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND:
Both local anesthesia (LA) and brachial plexus (BP) anesthesia are commonly used in hand surgery. LA has increased efficiency and reduced costs but BP is often favoured for more complex hand surgeries despite requiring greater time and resources. The primary study objective was to assess the quality of recovery of patients who receive LA or BP for hand surgery. Secondary objectives were to compare post-operative pain and opioid use.

METHODS:
This prospective, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority study enrolled patients undergoing surgery distal to the carpal bones. Patients were randomized to either LA (wrist or digital block), or BP (infraclavicular block) prior to surgery. Patients completed the Quality of recovery 15 (QoR-15) questionnaire on post-operative day one (POD1). Pain level was assessed with Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and narcotic consumption was recorded on POD1 and 3.

RESULTS:
A total of 76 patients completed the study (LA 46, BP 30). No statistically significant difference was found for median QoR-15 score between LA (127.5 [IQR 28]) and BP (123.5 [IQR 31]). The inferiority margin of LA to BP at the 95% CI was less than the minimal clinically important difference of 8, demonstrating non-inferiority of LA compared to BP. There was no statistically significant difference between LA and BP for NPRS pain scores or narcotic consumption on POD1 and 3 (p>0.05).

CONCLUSIONS:
LA is non-inferior to BP block for hand surgery in regard to patient-reported quality of recovery, post-operative pain, and narcotic use.

Published: May 2023

Background:
Upper extremity (UE) trauma requiring operative care increases during the summer and fall months, which we colloquially refer to as “trauma season.”

Methods:
CPT databases were queried for codes related to acute UE trauma at a single, level one trauma center. Monthly CPT code volume was tabulated for 120 consecutive months, and average monthly volume was calculated. Raw data was plotted as a time series and transformed as a ratio to the moving average. Autocorrelation was applied to the transformed dataset to detect yearly periodicity. Multivariable modeling quantified the proportion of volume variability attributable to yearly periodicity. Sub-analysis assessed presence and strength of periodicity in four age groups.

Results:
11,084 CPT codes were included. Monthly trauma-related CPT volume was highest in July-October, and lowest in December-February. Time series analysis revealed yearly oscillation, in addition to a growth trend. Autocorrelation revealed statistically significant positive and negative peaks at a lag of 12 and 6 months respectively, confirming yearly periodicity. Multivariable modeling revealed R 2 attributable to periodicity of 0.53 (p<0.01). Periodicity was strongest in younger populations, and weaker in older populations. R 2=0.44 for ages 0-17, R 2=0.35 for ages 18-44, R 2=0.26 for ages 45-64, and R 2=0.11 for ages ≥65.

Conclusion:
Operative UE trauma volumes peak in the summer and early fall and reach a winter nadir. Periodicity accounts for 53% of trauma volume variability. Our findings have implications for allocation of operative block time and personnel and expectation management over the course of the year.
Polysubstance use and lived experience: new insights into what is needed
Authors: Shover Chelsea L. , Spoliansky Jordan G. , Godvin Morgan 
Published: May 2023

Purpose of review
During the current overdose crisis in the United States and Canada, both polysubstance use and interventions involving people with lived experience of substance use disorder have grown. This review investigates the intersection of these topics to recommend best practices.

Recent findings
We identified four themes from the recent literature. These are ambivalence about the term lived experience and the practice of using private disclosure to gain rapport or credibility; efficacy of peer participation; promoting equitable participation by fairly compensating staff hired for their lived experience; challenges unique to the current polysubstance-dominated era of the overdose crisis. People with lived experience make important contributions to research and treatment, especially given the additional challenges that polysubstance use creates above and beyond single substance use disorder. The same lived experience that can make someone an excellent peer support worker also often comes with both trauma related to working with people struggling with substance use and lack of opportunities for career advancement.

Summary
Policy priorities for clinicians, researchers and organizations should include steps to foster equitable participation, such as recognizing expertise by experience with fair compensation; offering career advancement opportunities; and promoting self-determination in how people describe themselves.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine the associated factors with mortality, in addition to age and sex, in a high-complexity hospital in Bogota, Colombia, during the first year of the pandemic.DesignA case-control study.SettingHigh-complexity center above 2,640 meters above sea level (masl) in Colombia.MethodsA case-control study was conducted on 564 patients admitted to the hospital with confirmed COVID-19. Deceased patients (n: 282) and a control group (n: 282), matched by age, sex, and month of admission, were included. Clinical and paraclinical variables were retrospectively obtained by systematic revision of clinical records. Multiple imputations by chained equation (MICE) were implemented to account for missing variables. Classification and regression trees (CART) were estimated to evaluate the interaction of associated factors on admission and their role in predicting mortality during hospitalization.ResultsMost of the patients included were males in the seventh decade of life. Most of the admissions occurred between July and August 2021. Surprisingly, recovered patients reported heterogeneous symptomatology, whereas deceased patients were most likely to present respiratory distress, dyspnea, and seizures on admission. In addition, the latter group exhibited a higher burden of comorbidities and alterations in laboratory parameters. After the imputation of datasets, CART analysis estimated 14 clinical profiles based on respiratory distress, LDH, dyspnea, hemoglobin, D-dimer, ferritin, blood urea nitrogen, C-reactive protein, PaO2/FiO2, dysgeusia, total bilirubin, platelets, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The accuracy model for prediction was 85.6% (P < 0.0001).ConclusionMultivariate analysis yielded a reliable model to predict mortality in COVID-19. This analysis revealed new interactions between clinical and paraclinical features in addition to age and sex. Furthermore, this predictive model could offer new clues for the personalized management of this condition in clinical settings.

Authors: Ruddy Stella , Marzo Vincenzo Di , Ngueta Gerard 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACTBackgroundPulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) have been well-established as markers of cardiovascular risk in clinical settings. We aimed to determine the impact of cannabis use on both PP and MAP in U.S. adults and to assess the modifying role of sex.MethodsWe abstracted data from the 2009 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination survey (NHANES). Cannabis use was assessed by NHANES professionals in adults aged 18 to 59 years by using computer-assisted self-interviews. We defined PP as the difference between systolic and diastolic BP, and MAP as diastolic BP plus one third of PP. We used multivariable linear models to estimate the covariates-adjusted associations and assessed effect modification by including sex×exposure interaction terms into the model.ResultsThe mean age of the study population (n=8,942) was 35.0±11.9 years, with 51% female (n=4,551). Mean±SD PP and MAP were 46±13 mm Hg and 82±13 mm Hg, respectively. We found a significant interaction between sex and cannabis use in relation to PP (P=0.0878) and no interaction when modeling MAP (P=0.2084). The mean difference of PP between cannabis users and never-users increased with the frequency of use per week, being +4.5 mm Hg (P=0.0004) in those who reported 1 use/week, +4.9 mm Hg (P<0.0001) for 2-3 uses/week and +4.9 mm Hg (P<0.0001) for ≥ 4 uses/week. In females, only those who reported ≥ 4 uses/week showed a higher PP (+3.1 mm Hg;P=0.0050) compared with never-users.ConclusionsIn US adults aged 18 to 59 years, cannabis use is associated with widening of PP in males.CLINICAL PERSPECTIVESWhat is new?We first investigated the cannabis use in relation to PP and MAP and found that cannabis use is associated with widened PP in sex-specific manner.What are the clinical implications?Further evidence from cohort studies is required before it can be firmly concluded that cannabis use is linked to increased PP. Patients should stop cannabis use to optimize treatments with reduction of PP as specific therapeutic target.

AbstractBackgroundBiofilm formation is a major clinical challenge contributing to treatment failure of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Lytic bacteriophages (phages) can target biofilm associated bacteria at localized sites of infection. The aim of this study is to investigate whether combination therapy of phage and vancomycin is capable of clearing Staphylococcus aureusbiofilm-like aggregates formed in human synovial fluid.MethodsIn this study,S. aureusBP043, a PJI clinical isolate was utilized. This strain is a methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA) biofilm-former. Phage Remus, known to infectS. aureus, was selected for the treatment protocol. BP043 was grown as aggregates in human synovial fluid. The characterization ofS. aureusaggregates was assessed for structure and size using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and flow cytometry, respectively. Moreover, the formed aggregates were subsequently treatedin vitrowith: a) phage Remus (∼108plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL), b) vancomycin (500 µg/mL), or c) phage Remus (∼108PFU/mL) followed by vancomycin (500 µg/mL), for 48 hours. Bacterial survival was quantified by enumeration (colony-forming units (CFU)/ mL). The efficacy of phage and vancomycin against BP043 aggregates was assessedin vivoas individual treatments and in combination. Thein vivomodel utilizedGalleria mellonellalarvae which were infected with BP043 aggregates pre-formed in synovial fluid.ResultsSEM images and flow cytometry data demonstrated the ability of human synovial fluid to promote formation ofS. aureusaggregates. Treatment with Remus resulted in significant reduction in viableS. aureusresiding within the synovial fluid aggregates compared to the aggregates that did not receive Remus (p < 0.0001). Remus was more efficient in eliminating viable bacteria within the aggregates compared to vancomycin (p < 0.0001). Combination treatment of Remus followed by vancomycin was more efficacious in reducing bacterial load compared to using either Remus or vancomycin alone (p = 0.0023, p < 0.0001, respectively). When testedin vivo, this combination treatment also resulted in the highest survival rate (37%) 96 hours post-treatment, compared to untreated larvae (3%; p < 0.0001).ConclusionWe demonstrate that combining phage Remus and vancomycin led to synergistic interaction against MRSA biofilm-like aggregatesin vitroandin vivo.

Published: May 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to design a composite, aiming to improve the static puncture resistance through polyurethane impregnated treatment with five concentration gradients.Design/methodology/approachThe relationship between polyurethane concentration, the number of polyester nonwovens, component fiber type (filament or staple) and the static puncture resistance is explored respectively and elaborately.FindingsThis study provides a new perspective to design flexible composites with better static puncture resistance, feasible preparation process as well as low cost.Originality/valueThe results show that the static puncture resistance of nonwovens impregnated by polyurethane is improved obviously. Meanwhile the puncture strength-T of nonwovens increases first and then decreases with the increase of the number of layers, and the maximum puncture strength-T is found at 20 layers. Moreover, the composite with filaments illustrates better mechanical resistance.
An implementation model for digitisation of visual management to develop a smart manufacturing process
Authors: Trubetskaya Anna , Ryan Alan , Murphy Frank 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to introduce a model using a digital twin concept in a cold heading manufacturing and develop a digital visual management (VM) system using Lean overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) tool to enhance the process performance and establish Fourth Industrial Revolution (I4.0) platform in small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Design/methodology/approach
This work utilised plan, do, check, act Lean methodology to create a digital twin of each machine in a smart manufacturing facility by taking the Lean tool OEE and digitally transforming it in the context of I4.0. To demonstrate the effectiveness of process digitisation, a case study was carried out at a manufacturing department to provide the data to the model and later validate synergy between Lean and I4.0 platform.

Findings
The OEE parameter can be increased by 10% using a proposed digital twin model with the introduction of a Level 0 into VM platform to clearly define the purpose of each data point gathered further replicate in projects across the value stream.

Research limitations/implications
The findings suggest that researchers should look beyond conversion of stored data into visualisations and predictive analytics to improve the model connectivity. The development of strong big data analytics capabilities in SMEs can be achieved by shortening the time between data gathering and impact on the model performance.

Originality/value
The novelty of this study is the application of OEE Lean tool in the smart manufacturing sector to allow SME organisations to introduce digitalisation on the back of structured and streamlined principles with well-defined end goals to reach the optimal OEE.
The antecedents and consequences of perceptual fit: an examination of how employees come to understand organizational culture
Authors: Gregory Brian 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This study aims to explore a rarely studied form of person–organization fit, perceptual fit, which captures the accuracy of an employee’s understanding of their organization’s culture. The managerial antecedents of perceptual fit were explored to increase understanding about how employees learn their organizational culture and the role that managers play in that process. In addition, the behavioural and attitudinal consequences of perceptual fit were examined to gain a deeper appreciation for the impact of misunderstanding one’s organizational culture on work attitudes and cognitions.

Design/methodology/approach
Survey tools were used to measure multiple workplace cognitions, attitudes and values from employees of three small health-care organizations. Organizational culture was measured for each organization so that perceptual fit could be ascertained, which represents an accuracy score of each individual’s comprehension of their organization’s culture. Regression analyses measured the hypothesized associations between perceptual fit and its proposed antecedents and consequences.

Findings
The results suggest that leader–member exchange (LMX) and perceived organizational support (POS) are both positively associated with perceptual fit. In terms of the outcomes of perceptual fit, the regression analyses provide support for an association between perceptual fit and psychological empowerment, job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature by exploring how employees come to understand their organization’s culture, and the consequences of differing levels of understanding (i.e. perceptual fit). The study results suggest that managerial action such as LMX and POS can enhance the chances that an employee is able to understand their organization’s culture accurately. Furthermore, this research adds to our understanding of the individual consequences of understanding one’s organizational culture by providing evidence that psychological empowerment is associated with perceptual fit.

Published: May 2023

PurposeThis study aims to examine and understand the impact of reverse logistics adoption on firms' digitalization and collaboration activities. Specifically, leveraging the knowledge-based view, this study examines how adopting sustainable logistic practices (reverse logistics) prepares firms to embrace digitalization and encourages them to collaborate with other organizations.Design/methodology/approachThe study used longitudinal survey data from two waves (2017 and 2019) from the Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research. The authors used the negative binomial regression analyses to test the impact of reverse logistics adoption on the digitalization and inter-organizational collaboration dependent count variables.FindingsThe study's findings highlight the usefulness of reverse logistics in enabling digitalization and inter-organizational collaboration. The results show that the firms investing in sustainable supply chains will be better positioned to nurture digitalization and inter-organizational collaboration.Practical implicationsFor resource-bound managers, this study provides an important insight into prioritizing activities by highlighting how reverse logistics can facilitate digitalization and collaboration. The study demonstrates that the knowledge generated by reverse logistics adoption can be an essential pillar and enabler toward achieving firms' digitalization and collaboration goals.Originality/valueThe study is among the first to examine the effect of reverse logistics adoption on firm activities that are not strictly associated with the circular economy (digitalization and collaboration). Utilizing the knowledge-based view, this study reports on the additional benefits of reverse logistics implementation previously not discussed in the literature.
