Reconstruction of Prehension in C7-T1 Brachial Plexus Injury with Nerve and Tendon Transfers
Authors: Chim Harvey 
Published: August 2023

Case:
Reconstruction of function in C7-T1 lower brachial plexus injury requires restoration of finger flexion and extension with nerve or tendon transfers. A 22-year-old man was involved in an all-terrain vehicle rollover accident. First-stage nerve transfers included extensor carpi radialis brevis to the anterior interosseous nerve and supinator to the posterior interosseous nerve. After second-stage (15 months later) side-to-side flexor digitorum profundus and Camitz abductorplasty, he was able to achieve tripod pinch and power grip.

Conclusion:
A combined approach with nerve transfers followed by tendon transfers allows restoration of prehension in lower BPI while preserving the brachialis as a backup donor.

Published: August 2023

Case:
A 31-year-old man with a history of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) in the distal radius presents to clinic 9 years after en bloc distal radius resection. He was found to have a new soft tissue mass consistent with GCTB and new pulmonary metastases. Ultimately, he underwent excision of his soft tissue recurrence and partial lobectomy for his lung metastases.

Conclusion:
This case highlights the importance of having a high level of suspicion for local recurrence or metastasis, even years after wide resection and negative margins.
Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis on Miserable Malalignment Syndrome
Authors: Atallah Sarah , Hanna Maged 
Published: August 2023

Background:
Miserable malalignment syndrome (MMS) is a rare condition that entails increased femoral anteversion and increased external tibial torsion, as well as the presentation of one, some, or all the following: squinting patella, patella alta, patellar instability, an increased Q angle, genus valgus (knock knees) or genus varum (bow leggedness), genus recurvatum, feet pronation, or pes planus.

Methods:
The Sample, Phenomenon of Interest, Design, Evaluation, Research type search strategy was used to retrieve eligible studies from databases fitting the established inclusion criteria.

Results:
All studies agreed that nonoperative treatment is ineffective in improving MMS. Surgical treatment is effective, although it involves osteotomies at 2 levels per limb.

Conclusions:
Double-level osteotomies were effective in all studies, vastly improving range of motion, chronic knee pain, chronic hip pain, and other factors. Surgical treatment of this condition should only be reserved for severe cases because complications are possible.

Level of Evidence:
Most articles used were part of a case series, indicating this review article is based on level 4 evidence.
Integrating communities’ perspectives in understanding disaster risk
Authors: Shiroshita Hideyuki , Jayaratne Ravindra , Kitagawa Kaori 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This paper reports exploratory research that considers two challenges recognised in the disaster risk reduction (DRR) community in recent years. One is the reinforcement of community-based DRR, and the other is experts' prioritising high-impact/low-frequency hazards. Inquiries into stakeholders’ – community members’ in particular – understandings of disaster risks have been scarce. The research aimed to address these gaps by investigating communities’ perceptions around community-based DRR and disaster risks. The research focused on natural water hazard, such as floods and typhoons generated due to atmospheric forcing factors, as well as tsunamis in four communities in Japan and England. A field survey of major structural mitigation solutions, non-structural measures, and community interviews revealed that community members did not necessarily find the often-used impact/frequency description of hazards helpful in developing and implementing community-based DRR activities. Such hazard-based scientific language does not necessarily correspond with the general public. The paper attempted ‘the number of affected people’, which was recognised by the research participants, to be applied as a tool for understanding disaster risks.

Abstract
Baccaurea ramiflora Lour., an evergreen tree of the Baccaurea genus of the Phyllanthaceae family, is mainly distributed in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and southern China, including southern Yunnan Province. It is a wild or semicultivated tree species of ornamental, edible, and medicinal value, with important development potential. Here, we report the whole-genome sequencing of B. ramiflora through the combination of PacBio SMRT and Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing techniques. The size of the assembled genome is 975.8 Mb, with a contig N50 of 509.33 kb and a longest contig of 7.74 Mb. Highly repetitive sequences make up 73.47% of the genome, of which 52.1% are long terminal repeat–retrotransposon sequences. A total of 29,172 protein-coding genes are predicted, of which 25,980 (89.06%) have been annotated, while 3,452 noncoding RNAs are found. Comparative genomic analysis indicates that B. ramiflora is closely related to the family Euphorbiaceae, being sister groups to each other that diverged approximately 59.9 Mya. During the evolutionary process, B. ramiflora has 278 candidate genes under positive selection. The synonymous substitution rate and collinearity analysis show that B. ramiflora only underwent one ancient genome-wide triploidization event and no recent genome-wide duplication event. This high-quality B. ramiflora genome provides a valuable resource for basic research and tree improvement programs of the Phyllanthaceae family.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Thousands of flood events occur around the globe every year with severe negative impacts. The current study aimed to assess the flood socioeconomic and environmental negative consequences in Tuti Island, Sudan. The results showed that there are several social, economic, and environmental impacts of flooding. Socially, migration, displacement, injury or death of family members, loss of job opportunities, and increased poverty were identified as common impacts. Spatial analysis revealed variations in social impacts across the island, with the eastern region experiencing higher frequencies. Economically, the impacts included loss of income sources, property losses, decreased annual income rates, infrastructure destruction, a hindrance to economic growth, crop damage, and animal deaths. Property losses were particularly prevalent, and economic losses varied across different parts of the island, with proximity to the Nile River associated with higher losses. Individuals dependent on agriculture were more affected by flooding. Environmentally, flood impacts included loss of vegetation cover, soil erosion, lack of diversity, water pollution, loss of natural beauty, and landslides. Landslides were the most common environmental impact. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address these multidimensional impacts, promote resilience, and protect the well-being of residents while safeguarding the island's ecosystems.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Internet-of-things (IoT) devices has a huge demand for power sources. For sustainability, energy harvesting technologies are currently pursued as a potential power source for these IoT devices. In certain applications where continuous operation mode is required, these power sources get exhausted soon. Most of the power is dissipated during wireless communication of IoT devices. As a result, it is crucial to achieve low-power solutions for high-speed data communications. Here we show a fully integrated radio frequency (RF) receiver frontend with unique block-level circuit design techniques to decode high data rate On-Off Keying (OOK) modulated signals in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. As a result, this work provides a compact design while avoiding bulky external components such as BAW resonators, crystal oscillators, etc. The proposed OOK receiver achieves a sensitivity of -62 dBm/-67 dBm while consuming 178 µW/119 µW power for a 5 Mbps/1 Mbps data rate.
Emergence of flat bands and their impact on superconductivity in Mo5Si3-xPx

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The superconductivity in systems containing the dispersionless (flat) bands might appear to be paradoxical, since the conventional Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer theory requires an infinite enhancement of the carrier masses. At the same time, the combination of a flat and steep (dispersive) bands within the multiple band scenario are expected to enhance the superconducting response and may potentially explain a high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates and metal hydrides.
Here, we report on the magnetic penetration depths, the upper critical field, and the specific heat measurements together with the first-principles calculations for Mo$_5$Si$_{3-x}$P$_x$ superconducting family.
The calculated band structure features a flat band, which gradually approaches the Fermi level as a function of phosphorus doping $x$. The flat band reaches the Fermi level at $x\simeq 1.3$, leading to an abrupt change of nearly all the superconducting quantities. In particular, a strong reduction of the coherence length $\xi$ and enhancement of the penetration depth $\lambda$ result in nearly factor of three increase of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter $\kappa=\lambda/\xi$ (from $\kappa\simeq 25$ for $x< 1.3$ to $\kappa\simeq 70$ for $x> 1.3$) thus initiating the transition of Mo$_5$Si$_{3-x}$P$_x$ from a moderate to an extreme type-II superconductivity. The superfluid density data placed on the 'Uemura plot' result in two separated branches thus indicating that emergency of a flat band leads to enhancement of correlations between conducting electrons.

Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is a common malignancy, and early detection coupled with standardized treatment is crucial for patient survival and recovery. This study aims to scrutinize the current state of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in Shaanxi Province, providing valuable insights into the local practices and outcomes.
Methods: We selected 25 hospitals that typically represent the current diagnosis and treatment strategy of breast cancer in Shaanxi(a province in northwest China. The questionnaire comprised sections on fundamental information, outpatient consultations, breast-conserving surgery, neoadjuvant therapy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, breast reconstruction surgery, and adjuvant therapy.
Results: 25 hospitals were selected in Shaanxi, 17 are located in Xi'an. A total of 6665 breast cancer operations were performed in these 25 hospitals in 2021. The overall proportion of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is 23.6%.There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the annual volume of breast cancer surgery and the implementation rate of BCS (p= 0.004).A total of 2882 cases of neoadjuvant treatment accounted for 43.24% of breast cancer patients treated with surgery in 2017. Hospitals in Xi'an performed more neoadjuvant therapy for patients with breast cancer compared to other districts (p= 0.008).15 (60%) hospitals routinely perform axillary SLNB for more than 50% of patients with cN0 disease. There was a significantly positive correlation between outpatient visits and the implementation rate of SLNB (p= 0.005). 14 hospitals in Shaanxi performed reconstructive surgery. The breast reconstruction (BR) after mastectomy was more than 10%.
Conclusions: Breast conserving surgery, adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy and sentinel lymph node biopsy in central hospitals in Shaanxi province have reached the national average level. Moreover, hospitals in Xi 'an have surpassed this average. However, a disparity is observed in the development of breast reconstruction surgery when compared to top-tier hospitals.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to analyze the basic characteristics and mental health status of adult female callers to the psychological assistance helpline in Hangzhou City, in order to provide targeted services for effectively intervening in the psychological crises of this group.
Methods: Data from adult female callers to the helpline in Hangzhou City from 2019 to 2022 were collected, including demographic information and the types of issues discussed during the calls. The data were grouped and compared based on different age groups, marital status, and call times. The mental health status of the adult female population was assessed by evaluating depressive mood and suicide risk. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the factors influencing their mental health status.
Results: A total of 15,580 adult female callers were included in the study. Among them, adults aged 30 and below accounted for 52.2%, unmarried callers accounted for 62.1%, and callers from other provinces accounted for 42.6%. The types of calls were concentrated in mental health issues (56.5%), romantic relationship issues (11%), and marriage/family issues (13%). Among callers aged 30 and below, the proportion of consultations romantic relationship (P＜0.001), work (P＜0.001), and study-related issues (P＜0.001) were significantly higher than callers aged over 30. Realatively, callers aged over 30 had a significantly higher proportion of consultations marriage/family (P＜0.001) and child education issues (P＜0.001) compared to those aged 30 and below. The callers aged 30 and below exhibited significantly higher levels of depression and suicide risk compared to callers aged over 30. Unmarried callers had a significantly higher proportion of moderate depression and suicide risk compared to married callers. Female callers with higher education levels were less likely to report suicidal ideation and had lower levels of depression (OR=0.631, P=0.013) and lower high-risk proportions (OR=0.263, P＜0.001). Callers contacting in the late evening had a higher high-risk proportion (OR =1.622, P=0.001). High-risk proportions were lower among employed individuals compared to unemployed callers (OR=0.707, P=0.037).
Conclusion: The mental health status of female callers aged 30 and below, unemployed individuals, and those calling in the latter part of the night have relatively poorer mental health and are more likely to be at risk for suicide, which needs to be taken seriously, and more professional and targeted intervention services need to be enhanced in the hotline.
Does economic growth the cause of climate change or the cure? A spatial mediation-moderation model of foreign investment and eco-innovation orientation
Authors: AMARA DHEKRA BEN , Qiao Jiajun 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Economic growth is frequently held responsible for environmental problems. Some believe the relationship between ecological damage and economic growth is more complicated than others. Some even contend that economic growth might help the environment. Therefore, moving toward a greener economy depends heavily on environmental advancements. However, despite increased eco-innovation activities and attracting foreign investments, the ecological situation is not improving. In this respect, re-evaluating the problem from a different perspective is critical. Can the mediation-moderation effect of foreign investment and eco-innovation orientation develop and support economic growth to cure the environment? Therefore, this paper first uses the geographic Durbin model to examine the effects of economic growth on carbon emissions for nine countries in the MENA region for 20 years. Second, the present research investigates the mediation effect of eco-innovation. Third, this article uses the spatial stepwise regression model to explore the moderating function of FDI on the mediation model. The outcomes of this research are that: (i) Economic growth positively impacts carbon emissions. (ii) Eco-innovation mediates the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions. (iii) FDI has a dual moderating effect on the mediation model. This paper depicts an indispensable move towards grasping the current climate change risk and supporting the sustainability transition. Finally, several policy implications were presented based on this study's research findings.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The characterization of magnetic materials necessitates a deep understanding of their magnetic phase. Knowledge of the magnetic ground state is essential to study magnetic excitations and other magnetic properties. In this work,
we present a self-consistent method based on first-principles calculations to determine the magnetic ground state of materials, regardless of their dimensionality. Our methodology is founded on satisfying the stability conditions derived from the linear spin wave theory (LSWT) by optimizing the magnetic structure iteratively. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by successfully predicting the experimental magnetic structures of NiO, FePS3, and FeP. In each case, we compared our results with available experimental data and existing theoretical calculations reported in the literature. Furthermore, our methodology can be easily combined with phonon calculations, enabling a comprehensive approach to investigate magnons' influence on materials' thermal properties by computing the magnon/phonon coupling. Finally, we discuss the validity of the method and the possible extensions.

Abstract
CatSper affects sperm function and male fertilization capacity markers, including sperm motility and egg penetration. The study has aimed to evaluate the mRNA expression of CatSper1, and CatSper3, in the spermatozoa of normozoospermia and Asthenoteratozoospermia men as well as the correlation with sperm parameters, fertilization rate, and embryo quality in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was utilized to evaluate the mRNA expression of CatSper1 and CatSper3 in sperm in two patient groups: Normozoospermia (NOR; n = 32), and Asthenoteratozoospermia (AT; n = 22). In all patients receiving intracytoplasmic sperm injection, the fertilization rate and embryo quality were evaluated. CatSper1, and CatSper3 mRNA expression in sperm was significantly lower in AT males than in NOR (P < 0.05). At the cleavage stage following ICSI, low levels of these genes had a significant correlation with low motility, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), Capacitation and fertilization rate, and good-quality embryos (P < 0.05). However, a negative correlation was found between mRNA expression of CatSper1, 3 and sperm DNA fragmentation (P < 0.05). Findings indicate low levels of CatSper1, and CatSper3 mRNA expression in Asthenoteratozoospermia men, in results low sperm quality and embryo development following ICSI therapy.
Assessment of Clinicians' Cognition and Influencing Factors in Multidisciplinary Treatment Implementation: A Study in Municipal Public Class III Grade A Hospitals in Southwest China
Authors: Zhong Xuemin , Zeng Xianbao , Zhao Longchao , Chen Tao , Ming Xing , He Rui 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
Previous studies have highlighted many problems in the implementation of multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) from a managerial perspective. However, no study has addressed these issues from clinicians’ perspective. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and address the existing problems in MDT by investigating the clinicians' cognition of MDT, the influencing factors, and strategies to improve its quality.
Methods
A self-designed questionnaire was used to evaluate the cognition of MDT clinicians in municipal public Class III Grade A hospitals in Western China.
Results
Overall, 70.56% of clinicians knew the scope of MDT, and 63.41% knew the process of MDT. Professional title (P = 0.001; OR: 2.984; 95% CI: 1.590–5.603), participated in MDT (P = 0.017; OR: 1.748; 95% CI: 1.103–2.770), application for MDT (P = 0.000; OR: 2.442; 95% CI: 1.557–3.830) had an impact on clinicians' awareness of the scope of MDT. Professional title (P = 0.002; OR:2.446; 95% CI: 1.399–4.277), and participation in MDT (P = 0.000; OR: 2.414; 95% CI: 1.581–3.684) influenced clinicians' knowledge of the scope of MDT.
Conclusion
Approximately one-third of clinicians were not fully aware of the consultation process, whereas experienced doctors or those who had participated in MDT demonstrated a better understanding. The inadequate dissemination of MDT knowledge emphasizes the need for medical management departments to enhance MDT education, particularly for new and young doctors. Furthermore, MDT plays an important role in clinical care. Nevertheless, clinical medical personnel have not yet fully mastered the scope and process of MDT. As a result, many problems persist in its implementation that necessitate attention from the management department.
